The Enchantress arrived at Portsmouth at a late hour on Sunday evening from Plymouth and Portland. Their Lordships disembarked from the yacht at the dockyard yesterday morning, a n d returned to London by the 11 a.m, train.

Now, Ido not wish to o r by to disparage the triumph w hi c h h as been our opponent s . O n l y perm i t me obtained to say this, that I think when you examine it you must allow that there are causes besides those of concurrence in political opinion which have com bined to secure the success of Mr. Cowper. (Hear.) In the first place, every one knows ths political candidate who is singly opposed to thr ee may obtain split iii votes, not from any agreement i n opi nions, but from a natural sympathy with a man who fights with remarkable qualities of courage and ability against superior numbers. He has also had another advantage which any other Liberal candi date would scarcely command. He is a near con nection of a popular and brilliant minister--(hear) —whom many Conservatives do not desire to dis place, and who, apart from politics, possesses many of those qualities which attract affection and com pel admiration. (Cheers.) And, moreover, Mr. Cowper has had in his favour- I ,a cry of "He is worthy of it")—and he is worthy of it—that fasci nating influence which the sternest among us would find it difficult to resist. (Hear, hear.) I confess that when I heard that certain fair and enthusiastic canvassers in his favour were approaching my own estates I felt a thrill of alarm—(cheers and laugh ter)—lest they should summon me too to surrender and carry me off captive to poll for Mr. Cowper. (Renewed cheers and laughter.) I have read somewhere that the last of the witches who were executed for witchcraft in England lived somewhere in the neighbourhood of Panshanger (continued cheers and laughter) ; and I am only afraid that she has bequeathed to certain fair inhabitants of that classic region all her ancient spells and much more than her ancient charms. (Great cheering and laughter.) Now, under all these circumstances, you must allow us at least the consolation of thinking that while we do not deny the victory that you have obtained, we may reasonably ascribe it to a gifted and a fortunate individual than to the superiority of a political party. (Hear, hear.) But, be that as it may, I trust that the defeat, such as it is, will only stimulate our friends—will only stimulate the Conservatives of this county to redouble their exer tions to recover and maintain the position we had hitherto occupied. (Hear, hear.) Now, gentlemen, it only remains for me to thank most sincerely and gratefully those who have honoured me with their support upon this occasion. Although there is at this moment a singular suspension of exciting topics in the country, yet judging by a somewhat prolonged experience of public life, I can foresee that there must shortly arise both at home and abroad ques tions in which the interests of this country will be vitally engaged ; and I. cannot but feel glad that in the consideration and discussion of those questions your renewed confidence will enable me to take a humble share. (Loud cheers.) Mr. SURTEES next addressed the meeting, and said he thanked most heartily the 2,478 electors—(cheers and uproar)—who had so zealously supported him upon that occasion. He felt most grateful for the honour they had conferred upon him in again re turning him to Parliament. (Hear, hear.) But, on the other hand, ho most deeply lamented the loss which the Conservative cause had sustained by the success of their opponents, and by the rejection of their late highly esteemed and tried member, Mr. Abel Smith. (Hear, hear.) He believed, however, that the loss was but temporary, and that there was no good ground for supposing that any change had taken place in the political convictions of their agricultural and Church-loving constituency. (Cheers and uproar.) Mr. ABEL SMITH then briefly addressed the elec tors, and was received with loud cheers. lie said that on former occasions he had always stood before them as a successful candidate, but this time fortune had deserted him. He would still, however, return his best thanks to his friends thbir WIIAT A STUPID FELLOW YOU ARE to bite off the end of your Ciffar, when you can buy one of " BUTCH ER'd PATENT KEY-KING CIGAR NIPPERS" for a Penny.

[The following appeared in our latest edition of last evening] : The assemblage in the Plough Field at Hertford this forenoon was particularly numerous, well tempered, and enthusiastic. The successful candi dates spoke in the order in which they were re turned, and each of them in his way very effectively. The Hon. Henry Cowper paid a graceful tribute to the right hon. baronet who stood next to him on the poll, Sir Bulwer Lytton in his turn delivering a singularly brilliant hustings speech, in spite of frequent interruptions. Mr. Surtees' expression of thanks was brief and judicious. Even the defeated candidate, Mr. Abel Smith, gallantly made an ap pearance before the electors, thanking his own sup porters, but accepting his defeat like a man. The numbers given by the Sheriff as those of the cor rected calculation at the actual close of the poll on Friday were as follows : ci ist of EDWARD HARPER, Secretary. The Mullet, - 5, screw gun-vessel, 430 tons, 80- horse power, which was paid out of commission on the 15th inst., after having been employed for three years on the West Coast of Africa, was taken into the large basin in Sheerness yard on Saturday last, to have her engines overhauled, and the ship brought forward for recommission as early as possible. The Griffon, 5, screw steam gun-vessel, 425 tons, 80-horse power, which returned from the West Coast of Africa after four years' cruise on that station, under the command of Commander (now Capt.) J. L. Perry, has been taken into Sheerness dockyard, and has had her boilers removed for the purpose of repairing them. The hull and engines are to be likewise thoroughly repaired, and the yes. sel to be brought forward with all despatch for re commission.

LThe following is a fuller account of the aildrosses de livered by the hon. members]: — Mr. 11. COWPER then came forward amidst the vehement and prolonged cheers of his party, and said he begged to express to them his most sincere thanks for the great honour they had done him in placing him in the high position which he then occupied. He also wished to offer them his most hearty con gratulations on the great victory they had achieved. (Cheers.) That was the first victory of a Liberal in that county since the Reform Bill after an actual contest. (Cries of " and the last," and counter cries of " and not the last.") They had hitherto been in a minority, although in so large a minority that their opponents had been willing upon many occasions to concede to them a seat which they feared, perhaps, that if it came to a contest they might win for themselves. But after the victory of Mr. Surtees last year it was declared from the hustings by Mr. Abel Smith that the days of corn promise were at an end. (Hear, hear.) He did not allude to that subject in any way in the spirit of retaliation ; he was merely stating a fact. The Liberals, however, thought that they were excluded from their share in the representation of the county ; and from that time to this they had made the most untiring efforts, which had on Friday last been crowned with success. (Cheers.) They knew well that they would have to fight against the whole strength and influence of the party on his left hand—of a party which he hoped was opposed to him only on political grounds. (Hear, hear.) A large body of the clergy, also, many of whom were liberally inclined, had refused to support him because they entertained the opinion which he hoped he would prove to them hereafter to be erroneous, that he was opposed to the true in terests of the Church. (Hear, hear.) But they had not only to fight with force ; they had also to fight with fraud. (Cheers and uproar.)

C. R. B. Calcott, in command ; G. E. P. Trent, J. Armstrong, G. S. Hamilton, and T. Lawson ; Lieuts. L. Cubitt and W. B. Burton ; Ensigns L. Clark, G. H. Wilson, F. S. Alexander, J. Macfarlane, and J. B. Clark ; Assist.-Surgeon J. Johnston, in medical charge; 3 officers' wives, 348 non-commissioned officers and men, 34 soldiers' wives, and 46 children. The embarkation was effected at an early hour in the morning, under the superintendence of Capt. R. Locke, Embarkation Officer to the Hon. Council of India, and the As sistant Quartermaster-General of the South-West District, and in a manner highly creditable to the discipline of the regiment. Lieutenant-General Sir George Buller, K.C.8., Lieutenant-Governor of Portsmouth garrison and the general officer in com mand of the South-West Military District, paid a visit to the ship in the forenoon, and, after the men had been told off to their respective messes on board, the Cospatrick was towed out of the harbour in the evening to Spithead and afterwards sailed for Bombay. THE PISTON FREEZING MACHINE (ASH'S PATENT) is rapidly becoming a part of the cuisine of every gentleman's establishment, because it. is by far the quickest, most economical, and easy method of freezing known. It is only by the piston process that des sert ices, iced puddings, Sac., can be made at once in moulds, ready for table (avoiding the doable operation of freezing and moulding afterwards). It is the very best apparatus for icing wines, and produces the purest block ice. Its complete success, when used with the chemical freezing powders (in lieu of ice) in hot climate, on board ship, ac., is testified by reference to patrons in nearly every part of the world.

Tho objects of the company are, first, to construct a rail ;way, about nine miles in length,from the " Old Port" of alarseilles to Podestat, to afford increased facilities for the commerce,_ and manufactures of the town andport ; secondly, r acquire land on both sides of the line throughout its length for building and other purposes, to which great -value Will be given by the construction of the railway. The reputation of Marseilles as the first maritime city of Franco is well known, second only to Paris in population and wealth ; its position and capabilities give it the corn- Mend of French commerce in the Mediterranean. Within tho last ten years Marseilles has been placed in direct railway communication with Paris and all parts of France. Magnificent docks and warehouses have been con structed ; but great and rapid as those now works have been they are still far behind the requirements of its ever-in creasing trade. The old quarters of the town are being demolished to Make room for handsome streetsandpublic buildings. The population thus displaced are driven to the suburbs, more especially towards the south, where the lands of the Com pany are situate, and where a flue valley . stretches from the town to the Mediterranean, with a view of the sea, and °Pen to the refreshing breezes, which during the summer afford the only relief from the intense heat of the city. The enormous value of ground in the town may be esti mated by the fact that, for any extension, rocks 60 feethigh h ero to be c l eare d awa y to g ive sites fo r building ; it will ~,,, for readily understood that such a locality is no longer.suited the erection of ordinary dwellings, or factories and che tlei,cal works, w hi c h l a tt e r, for sanitary reasons, will soon driven from the city. ,T llO proposed r a ilway, after leaving the port and town o ' 8 00,000 inhabitants, will pass through the southern fhburb, which contains a population of 50,000, and follow f valley to the sea, at tho "Madrague de Montredon," j° ,l l thence it will be continued for three miles along the . I „,? i a „ s t to Podostat, affording sites for the erection of factories, W .'" access to tho sea, and direct railway communication th the town and port, and with the Paris, 1 ; 3-ens, and tirediterranean lines by a junction with the proposed new a tich of the latter 'to the " Place Castellano.' LThere are a t th e presen t ti me 460 f ac t or i es i n th e town, I111) . 1° Sine• nearly 10,000 workmen, and the number of e l; e `°° ll es would rapidly increase were it not for the heavy_ -a rges to whicli p the.7 (bra 'subjected from Me fiteraging ;fitie of the ground occupied, and the want of direct rail -s"' connexion with the port and with the Paris, Lyons, Mediterranean lines. The proprietors of these estab raments will gladly avail themselves of the opportunity 'isPosing of their present sites to great advantage, and ren,loving to a locality combining the facilities of sea and 4 . !,, r d ,waY communication, with perfect freedom from all the I,lloculties of their present position, and where land can "' obtained from the Company at a tenth part of the price ' io n' paid for building ground in the town. order to form an opinion of tho pecuniary results of te e proposed operations of the Company, it will bo desk th ° to consider separately the income to ho derived from 150c1 0 the, and the profit to be realised by the sale of the of the,Company. u "mt., with reference to the railway it must be observed, tt the existing lines aro connected with the new port G .; °ileac" and the docks, but that the Old Port, which is acres; in extent, is entirely without railway communica ",Pn or docks, notwithstanding which tho official statistics 0 i the Government show, that during the last year for Pich they acreae published, 1863, the returns for the " Old °lt" wore ollows Vessels. : Tons of Merchandise. 4 , 3 83 of vaiious nations entered, carrying 950,180 4 ,303 71 left, 593,842 vs 8,686 Total of vessels. 1,544,022 Tons.

But in additioh to this the now port "Joliette" received and sent off 1,159,024 t on s o f merchandise in 1863, by e! 7 3 steamers, on accoun t o f th e f ac iliti es a ff o rded by the railways and docks. I t t,is evident fr o m th ese re t urns th a t a r a il w ay to the Oldand Port must secure a very largo amount of goods traffic, from the population of the suburban district through 'bead y the li ne w ill pass, and the number of factofies, &c., established in that locality, it is calculated that the A v enue will produce an immediate profit revenue equal to 1 Per cent. on th e ou tl ay, w hi c h i ncome w i ll bo rapidly in _eased b the erection of honses and factories along tho There will be seven intermediate stations between Marseilles and Podestat, ono of which will bo for the " Race Course," and the "Public Gardens," and "Chateau Borelly." The Company have contracted for the execution of the Works of the railway from the " Place Castellano" to " Podestat," at the p r ice of £185,000. Secondly, with reference to the profit to be realised by tho salo of the land of the Company, it may be stated that all previous speculations in land at Marseilles have been successful. The Company have contracted for the purchase of about 1,200,000 square metres of land (about 300 English acres) situate on both sides of the proposed railway, between the town and the "Madraguo do Montredon ;" 140,000 metres of which will be required for the construction of the line and stations, leaving 1,060,000 metres to be sold for the erection of first-class residences. It has been estimated by competent judges of the value of building sites in the neighbourhood of Marseilles, that on the completion of the railway the whole of this land will be readily sold at the price of at least 20 francs per metre, at which rate it will produce 21,200,000 francs, or £848,000. The Company have also contracted for the purchase of a 'nry large tract of ground beyond the "Madraguo do lion !;r°,don," through which the railway will pass to Podestat ; ;1400,00 metres (about 375 acres) of this land, adjoining !aoth sea and railway, will be at once available as sites for factories and works of all kinds. a Estimating the selling price of this land at 10f. per metre, bileiT sufficiently low to induce the manufacturers to este their works rapidly in the locality, it will produce a s un; of 15 , 0 00,000 f., or £600,000. reirhe average cash cost to the Company of the land above alread y c e r a r d ed to is only sif. per metre, including the houses 1 0,00 Y built thereon, and including also upwards of „, 0,000 metres of land (about 2,500 acres) on the coast V o tit for three miles beyond the: proposed terminus at f re q ° o stat, which will thus be acquired by the Company f cost, and which will be made available at some ,L, , o t re time by an extension of the railway and the forma n of roads seenAn a — • ' mine supply of water,which is indispensable at Mar exisit°P, both for houses and land, can be obtained from the th an in g works, which have cost the municipality more 680,000,000 francs. additional capital required for the payment of land ) ,. 11 . t . be raised in debentures to be repaid out of the produce ' the land sales.

Yesterday morning the first great step in this im portant undertaking was accomplished by hauling on land the massive shore end up to the cliffs at the south-western extremity of this island, and there successfully laying it from the Caroline out into deep water to a distance of 25 miles at sea. By nearly a fortnight. the time has been overpassed when this should have been completed. In part the delay has been due to the overweight and under power of the Caroline herself, and in part also to the very unsettled state of the weather. The falla cious value of averages has never been more strik ingly exemplified than in the weather predicted for all these Atlantic expeditions. The first of all took place in August, during which month it was care fully ascertained by reference to logs and nautical authorities that no wind was to be expected in the Atlantic. Yet at some 300 miles from shore the pitching of the Agamemnon in a heavy wind and sea parted the cable, and thus put an effectual end to both prediction and expedition for that year. In the following year it was attempted in June, dur ing which month bad winds were said to be un known, and the result of that arrangement was that the Agamemnon was at least two days in hourly danger of succumbing to one of the worst gales that ever swept the Atlantic, and which culminated on the very day when storms were said to be unheard of —the 21st of June. This time July has been chosen as the period when it never blows ( 4 long or strong," and the Great Eastern was to haveleft here on the 12th of this month. Yet gales of unusual se verity have retarded her till now. In the present in stance the choice of July seems to have been more than usually unfortunate, inasmuch that it is stated here that last month was the calmest and finest known for years, while this month, on the contrary, has been precisely the very opposite. To-day, how ever, all seems to promise fairly, and if everything goes well with the electrical perfectness of the splice to the shore end, the Great Eastern, large as she is, will be out of sight before dusk this evening, 50 miles on her way to Newfoundland. _ The place chosen for the landing of the shore end on this occa sion is different from that selected on the two pre vious expeditions, and the change is on the whole an improvement. It is one of those deep inlets between the hills and headlands of this iron-bound coast, about a mile long by half a mile wide, with its mouth almost closed agaiust the sea by a ragged ir regular knoll of heath and rock, called Butler's Island. Behind this little island, not much larger than the Green Park, the waters of Foilhommerum Bay, as it is called, are calm and still enough, and the sheer black precipices 300 ft high which form the boundaries of the deep waters are seldom marked with foam. Anything more picturesque than the rugged grandeur of this little bay can scarcely be conceived, with its gaunt dark cliffs, seamed here and there with gaps and rents, like mountains fallen into ruins.. In almost every part they have a steepness which is nearly perpendicular, and it makes one equally giddy to look up at or down from them. At the head of the little bay is a rough indication of an earthwork, but only just enough to show what was once its regular outline. This is one of Cromwell's old forts. At its northern extremity towards the sea rises Bray Head, one of the huge savage-looking mountains which, running out into the sea, double the dangers of this dangerous coast, though, from a landsman's point of view, they are' invaluable, adding so much to the stern grandeur of the scene. From the peak of Bray Head the mist is seldom moved, and at its ponderous base the blue waters seldom touch but they are churned into flakes of foam, as the waves keep booming with regular beat against its cliffs, calm or storm, winter or sum mer ; against this pint—the first land which the great roll of the Atlantic meets—the surge is never quiet. Into this bay so sheltered by the island and Bray Head the Caroline was brought round as early as Friday ; but though all was still enough inside the cove nothing' could be done beyond it, where amid thick clouds of driving rain a thundering swell came rolling in which the ships could not attempt to meet. Yesterday, however, the day was calm, and, what was better still, the little wind that stirred was off the shore, giving smooth water in Follhummerum Bay. At 8 o'clock, therefore, the landing of the shoretnd was commenced, Sir Robert Peel, M.P., the Knight of Kerry, Lord John Hay, Mr. Glass, Mr. Edwards, Dr. Russell, Mr. Barber, and Mr. J. C. Parkinson coming down early to witness it. It is curious that of all the large party who came out in the Great Eastern especially to be present at this first ceremonial only four contrived to get across the land in time, and it need scarcely be added that these four were representatives of the press. All others failed to pass through the beautiful mountainous district which intervenes between Glengariffe and Valentia early enough to witness the verything which they came out to see. The landing of the shore end was begun soon after 8 o'clock, and the sight was as interesting as it was picturesque. From the stern of the Caro line, moored some 600 or 800 yards from shore, an unbroken line of boats was formed to the beach, each filled with a crew of picked boatmen from all the neighbouring harbours and inlets. These were under the direction and guidance of experienced " cable men," who in detached cutters and gigs com manded up and down the line. The first few lengths were soon got out, but thence, dragging its ponder ous mass along the line of craft was a slow, labori ous business, and it only came out foot by foot, though some 300 or 400 powerful men were pulling on it well together. It took nearly two hours to pass it over the string of boats, and by that time all the rugged cliffs were crowded by peasantry, who not only thronged the steep, dangerous sort of zig zag path which gives access to the head of the bay, but were perched about on little jets and points where any foothold was to be gained, and often where their stand was so precarious that it startled one to look up at them. Nor did the interest evinced end here, for the brow of the cliff itself was deco rated with extemporised flags made out of little cotton streamers of all kinds, bright-coloured shawls, or even pocket-handkerchiefs. Of course these little emblems of the enthusiasm of the island were not calculated to bear a close inspection, but seen from the bay below they gave a wonderful relief of colour to its stern dark bands of cliff, and a sort of life and play to the rigidity of rocks, which it seemed that earthquakes themselves could scarcely move. As it happened, however, the interest of the islanders was rather prematurely evinced. Not only had the cable to be landed, but quite a mile in excess was to be hauled on shore to pass up the cliff and across a couple of fields which led to the Tele graph-house, and gave communication through the land lines to London. But no sooner was the first atom - of the end of the cable seen near the shore than a wild " Hooroo" arose from those on land who saw it coming. With a contagion characteristic of the people the enthusiasm passed rapidly down wards from those on the cliffs to the groups on the winding path, and thence like a current of electri city into the cable boats themselves, the crews of which joined in the shouting, and seeing the end so near the land, and, concluding their work well done, at once proceeded to heave the massive rope into the sea. From boat to boat the first bad example was followed by all until, to the dismay of the cable - • v r tinned cheers, every fatco - ni c re stern of the Caroline was thrown overboard. The result of this touching enthusiasm was that every foot had to be underrun, preparatory to the whole operation be ginning de novo. It took some time to effect this, during which it is but fair to say the Irish were silent and dispirited enough, and in reply to the admonitions of the Knight of Kerry promised to re frain from cheering till at least all was done—a promise which they kept faithfully. When the cable had been underrun, hauled into the boats again, and the shore end really began to come on land, and was stowed away i n g i gant i c c i rc l es a t th e f oo t o f the cliff, the scene Was one of real animation. Num bers of men were in the water up to their waists or shoulders easing the cable over the rocks, while along the steep path up the cliffs was a close row of figures, men and boys, of every rank, from the well to-do-farmer down to the poorest cottier, all pu - ing at the cable with a will, and, as if in atonement for their first fault of enthusiasm, obeying with silent and most childlike docility every signal made by Mr. Glass or Mr. Canning as to when they were to haul or slack away. Above them, and danger ously near the edges of the heights, was a fringe of eager lookers-on, while the slopes beyond were dotted with bright groups of the country gentry who had ridden or driven in to see the " landing." By 12 o'clock the cable was well up the groove which had been cut in the face of the cliff for its re ception, and from this point the work of carrying its massive coils across the meadows to the receiving house beyond was soon accomplished, and at a little before 1 o'clock the endlaken over roads, hedges, and ditches the t was ti n g s r f o e l o y m h . ous H ed ere in th t e h t e h s e a b n a c t t t i n r e s s a w n e t re at l once applied, and showed both conductivity and in sulation to the last fathom in the hold in the Caro line absolutely perfect, and no sooner was this all important fact ascertained than the Hawk took the Caroline in tow, while the rest of the cable was paid out to sea. Amid the most earnest cheers from the crowds both vessels started on their short cruise, and at the same time, in the testing-room of the Receiv ing-house the Knight of Kerry and Sir R. Peel of fered their warm congratulations to Mr. Glass on the success so far achieved. An unfortunate break down in the land line to Killarney prevented any communication with London until tho evening was elnaonoiuswseii slowly so far advanced a s to make te legraphing what was d on e almost useless. The mere operation of sinking th e s h ore en d was easily, though, accom plished, and a bout 100 fathoms of water. A steamer was sent round to the Grea t Eastern y este rday, telling her to h o ld herself in read iness for an early start this morn ing. She is expected to be off th e b uoy outs i de be tween 10 and 11 to-day. Making the splice with the shore end and testing carefully through it will oc cupy at least s i x hours, and this last joint of the Atlantic cable once satisfactorily completed her great journey will begin. She is expected to leave about 5 o'clock this evening. During the time she has lain at Beerha,ven the condition of the cable has been perfect. The weather is calm for the present, all now d and on the weather epends. VALENTIA, July 24. A dispiriting Eastern, has been re ce i ve d f ro m the Great . .. dated inessg : 30 p.m., announcing some defects of insula tion. The misc hief is supposed to exist about two or three miles west of the shore end splice, believed to be caused by the Great Eastern pulling on her end of the cable with too much strain before the shore-end splice was pro perly completed. The Great Eastern remains hove to in lat. 52, long. 10, about 80 miles from shore. The. Hawk goes away to her to-night, and the Caroline is going to pick up and underrun the splice and repair the fault• Not the Tightest appreciemion exist as to the iiame, but calculated to create the im p re ssion that it had been written by him—in which it was stated that one of the Conservatives had withdrawn, and that therefore he should not require his friends to come down on the polling day to give him their votes. (Hear, hear.) It was hardly necessary for him to characterise that as one of the meanest and most scandalous of political devices (cheers), but a device proceeding, not from the Conservative party, because he fully believed that such a step would be as eagerly repudiated by that party as it was indig nantly denounced by his own friends. (Cheers.) It was, he was sure, the act, not of a party or of any section of a party, but of some wholly unautho rised individual. (Hear, hear.) Well, with regard to their opponents, he should only observe that, as they had two seats to dispose of, it was for them to decide who were the members they should select. That was a matter with which the Liberals had nothing to do. But he believed he was only speaking the sense of the whole party which he represented when he said that they were heartily glad that Sir E. B. Lytton had been one of the candidates returned—(cheers) —for they all believed that the new Parliament would be incomplete without a man of such great distinction and ability. (Renewed cheers.) He had, in con clusion, only to to thank them again and again for their untiring exertions on his behalf. He felt the responsibility which their choice had imposed upon him, and he could only promise them that he would do his best to show that he was not wholly unde serving of such a favour. (Loud cheers.) Sir E. B. LYTTON next came forward amidst en thusiastic cheering, in which many of the members of the Liberal party joined, and addressed the meet ing as follows :—Gentlemen and electors of Hert fordshire,—l come before you to-day with very mingled feelings, to which I shall find it difficult to give even the briefest expression. On the one hand, I have to thank you for having done me the honour to re-elect me for the fifth time to serve yoli in Par liament. On the other hand, I have not only to acknowledge a defeat to the Conservative cause in this county, but I have to lament the loss of a col league—(interruption and derisive cheers from the Liberal party)—with every allowance for the excite ment—the natural excitement--of victory, which so many of you must feel, I wonder that as Eng lishmen you can dosubt the sincerity of what I say —(hear, hear)—l do lament the loss of a colleague with whom I have fought side by side during a pro longed and an arduous contest, finding every day fresh reason for that respect and regard in which I had previously held him. (Cheers.) Now, before I proceed further, let me, not only in the name of the candidates —not only in the name of the chairman of our Conservative Association—not only in the name of our London committee, but in the name of every honest Conservative—(cheers and uproar)—deny and repudiate in the strongest lan guage which a man can use any suspicion that any one of us whom we can know or detect was the author of an electioneering fraud, which I agree in stamping with the same language of reprobation which Mr. Cowper has employed. (Cheers.) I can only suppose that it must have been the act of some individual who was altogether unacquainted with any one of us, and with whom, I am sure, that if we were acquainted, we should drop and relinquish and renounce that acquaintance from that day forward. (Cheers.) It was said by a French king after he had encountered defeat in a 'great battle that all was lost except honour. (Hear, hear.) But in the battles of public life, so long as honour is kept nothing is permanently lost. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Smith has the advantage of youth, and we all know that fortune is a fickle goddess, and, like females in general, she is never long unkind to the young. (Laughter.) And therefore I trust that that defeat, which we acknowledge he has suffered to-day—and I believe, on my honour, that I regret that defeat more than he does—l trust that that defeat will be suc ceeded upon a future occasion—(cheers) —by a vic tory all the more precious and more lasting because of that reaction in his favour which f. venture behalf, and he was quite certain that it was not through want of zeal or exertion on their part that he had been defeated. He was rejoiced that the Conservative cause had met with the services of that eminent man who was an honour to the constituency he represented, Sir Edward Lytton, and he must at the same time say that after the gallant conduct of Mr. Surtees in coming forward as a candidate last year, he should have been sorry if he had not been returned. Al though he was certainly disappointed at the result of the election, still, if one of the Conservative mem bers was to go out, he thought it was better that he should be that one than Mr. Surtees. (Cheers.) Mr. Cowper had made an allusion to what he had said on a previous occasion about no compromise being allowed to take place in future, and he would now say that he did not regret the contest that had taken place ; they had had a fair fight like English men ; and although he was defeated, he was young enough to hope that upon some future occasion he might be more successful, and again have the honour of representing the county of Hertfordshire in Par liament. (Cheers.) A vote of thanks to the High Sheriff terminated the proceedings.

Mr. Scott, a surgeon living at Mansfield, said ho was sent for to the lock-up on the 3d September last, to visit a prisoner named Skidmore. He found a wound on his left temple, caused by a heavy in strument. From the shoulder to the head there was con siderable swelling, and a number of marks. The marks were on the outer part of the arm, and were such as could only have been produced by great violence. Tho cause of death was inflammation, caused by the wounds. Witness examined the prisoner, but found no marks upon him. The jury found the prisoner guilty, with a recommendation to mercy, and ho was sentenced to four months' imprison ment. ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SUICIDE IN LEICESTER. —A shocking case of stabbing with intent to murder, and subsequent attempted suicide of the culprit, has just oc curred in Leicester. A man named John Bigley, a labourer, had for some years been lodging with Thos. Halman and his wife, in Vauxhall-street, which resulted in too close an intimacy between the wife and the lodger. The husband discovered this, and discharged the lodger, who, however, continued a surreptitious relationship with tho wife, who appears not to have objected to his attentions. On Satur day night she went to seek Bigley, and found him at the Horse and Jockey public-house, in the North. She de livered some clean linen to him and left the inn, and was followed by Bigley up the, street; and when she was about to turn down a lane leading to her home ho rushed upon her from behind and dealt her a severe blow on the left shoulder with a sharp instrument, inflicting severe injury. Mrs. Holman exclaimed, " You have killed me," and Big ley replied, " I meant to do it," and advised her to make the best of her way home, and lot him kn ow how she. was in the morning. She got home with considerable difficulty, and a surgeon was sent for, and the police informed of what had occurred. On the following morning Bigley was found on the Dane Hills with his throat cut severely, but not suf ficiently so to cause death. He was conveyed to the in firmary, where he remains under treatment. Mr. Coxwell has received from Glasgow his bal loon Research, as it was forwarded from Islay. It came out of the car piecemeal, a total wreck, having been cut and torn into at fewest 200 pieces. The network was sliced down with buyee, the Taives cut out of each end. , • At,",4*„..1,141,10.40404441-Atitigivigrmlit Henderson Les i r e; Andrew Lloyd, John W. ott, Joseph Rotheray, Thomas W.

JUSTICE BYLES ON COURTS OF ARBITRA TION.—At Stafford, on Friday, Mr. Justice Byles, that description I am happy in ths in his charge to the Grand Jury, made the following ob servations :—" The last time I had the honour to appear here a multitude of people were charge d with offences present observeri re s s in n g t o c u al t e toh n fa calendar, and mhebrine I should aatrieonnsocatosersa be iosfe happy to believe if I could that the differences between masters and men wore not merely sleeping, but were finally settled. I cannot help thinking that for much of the tranquillity which now pre vails in this county, you are indebted to the judgment, the activity, the devotion to public duty, and the eminently conciliatory manners of your Lord-Lieutenant ; and I deem it right publicly to say so. I cannot help making one fur ther observation on the subject, which is this—that I fear some legislative interposition will become indispensable. You are aware that a bill has been brought into the Upper House by Lord St. Leonards, for the establishment of Courts of Arbitration. I have often expressed my regret that there are at present no provisions for arbitration, by which I do not mean voluntary arbitration, from which I expect nothing, but compulsory arbitration, the mode of proceeding in which might be suggested. This, however, is not the place to offer any such suggestions. I will only venture to add for the consideration of those among you who can make your voices heard, that the system of compulsory arbitration has been recently introduced into our courts of law, to the immense advantage of every person con cerned—to the saving of time, litigation, trouble, and money to an incalculable extent. Perhaps I should also observe, that in neighbouring countries the experiment has been tried of repealing the combination laws, without making any adequate provision to meet the difficulties which might have been expected, and the result has been the same as in this country, even from the very beginning. I fear if I said more on this subject I should be deviating from that which is my duty in this place ; and so with these remarks, I will leave the matter for your consideration, who understand it infinitely better than I can presume to do." CAVITIES IN THE DESERT.—Such cavities are not uncommon amidst the sands, and occur in a very arbitrary manner, independent it would seem of the general laws of the desert ; nor could I hit on any passable hypothesis to explain their formation. Their great size secures them against filling up ; the pit in which we passed that night could not have measured much less than a quarter of a mile at its upper diameter, from rim to rim, and its depth was about 800 feet. The huge undulations of sand, rolling apparently from west to ;east, and never failing in the Nefood of Arabia, may, if a hypothesis be permitted, find their cause in the diurnal rotation of the globe, and the p pitsid hollowed outln oßvbey; o ri v s e i r ng i t ..
