the teacbin g and practice of the former of these univer sities he bolieveci the evils had sprung which had in troduced as mueh religious discord into the country.— (C heers .) It was easy to make promi4es on the part of an untried man; but, for himself, he etpuld say, appealing to his pist services, that he would support the cause of reform on every occasion, even though his profession as s , so ldier might ef . .en prove of disadvantage to him, in bringing him into poktical hostility with those outhori ties for whom he felt every respect. The Gallant Officer retired amid cheers, and was succederi by Sir J. SHELLEY, who met with a very cordial recep. tion. He said he would go into Parliament with strong convictions and perfectly independent, to do his best for his constituency, and to maintain the principles he had advocated for th'4 last 20 years. It was true his father had been a Tory, and that msny years ago he, while yet very young, had represented Gatton; but Mr. Coning. ham knew welt that for the last 20 years he bad in his own neighbourhood constantly and consistently main tained the principles of reform and free trade.—(Cheer&) If Mr. Coninghem had only come forward a little earlier he would have been content to call a meeting of the electors and stand or fall by their decision, as he would have done in the case of Mr. Lushington, had he come forward. Mr. Coniegham was, no doubt, a Liberal, but be had divided the Liberal rauks, and had induced Lord Meidstone to come forward. In conclusioe, Sir J- Shel ley repeated once more his politics! creed residential suffrage, triennial Parliaments, vote by ballot, and a re vision of our present electoral boundaries. lie w as op posed to cbtralizaion, and to Stare grants for religious purposes, but thought the reven ues of the Irish State Church should be re-adjusted. He was opposed to the system of indirect taxation as a general princ i p le, and as a farmer was not p repared to i nsist that te nant-farmers should maintain animals which rendered good farming almost impossible. A good many questions were put by the electors, the substance of the answers to which are for the most part comprised in the above summary, and a resolution pledging the meeting to su pport Sir D. L. Evans and Sir J. Shelley was fin a lly ag reed to, after a good deal of noisy opposition on the part of some twenty-five or thirty p e rson s , who particularly objected to the resolu tion being applied to the firs t-named candidate. Mr. CONINCIIAM attended a meeting in the morning at the Hanover square Rooms, at which he went over most of the topics a lluded to in his speech on Saturday last, which was re ported in The Sun of Monday. Sir C. Aldis took the chair, and the room was tolerably filled with ladies and gentlemen, who received Mr. Con. inghaca very w armly. He expressed him s elf in f avour of Lord p . ,li n erstOu'a foreign policy as oppo se d t o th e policy o t Lord Malmesbury, of the admission of Jews to pd,rliament, of the Aeglo•American alliance, and of the abolition of church-ra es. A D , ELECTOR asked him if he was ready to vote for t h e abolition f o the law of primogenitu re an d th e l aw o f enta iq—(Hear. hear.) Mr. CoNINGHAM—The first question is, in eff , ct. this --am I preuarcd to aholi.h the House of Lord- ? (•- That's it," " Why not ?'' &c.) lam ready to redress pranically the evils of the law of entail by Act of Par fitment, bat it would be perfectly absurd for me to say I am ready to vote for that which would be, in r fftc4, gr.-at social revolaion.—(o-i! oh!) I eauoot, in present state of feeling and experience on this poin , , promise to agitate the question if returned to Parlia ment. The usual resolution of support was passed Minna nuluiniouitly. and the meetir•g separated; but Mr. Co !Bingham subsequently addressed the electors sod nen electors from a window in Clare street, and at the Unio❑ T a vern, Qacen-street. LAMBETH. A numerous meeting of the supporters of Mr. A. Wilkinson, the new candidate was held last . William in the Sewell. Victoria Theatre. T he chair was taken by Mr. J. The CHAIRMAN said that sixteen persons in the bo rough were of opi n i on that they should reelect their a former repr esentat i ves; on the other hand, great pro• portion of the electors being determined to have a new Aleinber-,(Cheers)—a requisition had been presented to Mr. Harvey, but be was hunted out of the representa tion, and almost hunted to death. (Hear, hear.) Taey had now solectid Mr. Wilkinson as their candidate, an d he begged to introduce hint to the notice of the meet- Mr. —(ebver..) WILKINSON came forward to address the meet ing, and was received with loud cheers. Be said that seventy-two hours ago he bad no notion whatever of -.° ceu . P . Yfhg the position of a candidate. lie had ima gined that when Ar. Harvey started he was pursuing a hopeless course, and that the late Members were almost certain of being returned. From that state of feeling he had been roused on Fciday evening by the gentle men who waited upon him on the resignation of Mr. Harvey, for the purpose of inducing him to come for weave as a can idate. Those gentlemen had shown atom, and their sts. , emtuata were borne out by all sub sequent investigation, that a large rattmb,r of the inuabitants of the borough were dissatisfied with the present state of the representation.—(Hear, hear.) On that ground, and that ground only, he appeared before 'them; because he centessed that his opinions were nearly identical with those of the gentlemen who lately represented them.—(Cheers.) When he found there was a large majority in the borough who were inclined to support Mr. Harvey if he could bear the brunt of the contest, he (Mr. Wilkinson) did not think it unbecoming ion his part to offer himself as a candidate to the electors for the purpose of supplying the want under which they laboured.—(Cheers.) There might be a hundred rea sons why they should think that they were not pro teerly tepros,nted by the late Members, but it was not necessary for him to refer to them; it was enough for him to know that there was a desire entertained by a number of the electors that a new Member should he selected.—(Hear, hear.) He d . d not wholly rely upon the ettoements of the g , ntieinen who called upon him, arid who he had ntver seen before, but he had got his friends to upply for information in the highest quarter, and the universal answer was, that dissatisfaction exists with the present state of the representation, that he should go on, and that he would evin the battle.—(Cheers.) He perceived that a letter from Mr. 00r/ea had been published, containing an opinion favourable to the fate Members, but an opinion was generally founded oa the case that was put to the Party whose opinion was required —(Hear, hear) —end he was sure if ti cad said to Mr. Cobden, here are two Meethers representing a large constituency, and for cer tain reasons a large portion of the constituency is dis . satisfied with them, have:l a right to put myself forward to support the interests ut the dissatisfied parties, that Mr. Cobden would have said that is the business of the Tito - ors, and not my business.—(Cheers.) If they put in a man that will vote as well as the ethers, let them satisfy themselves.—(Cheers) He would remind them that it was a dangerous thing to have the borough re presented by two Liberal Members with whom a great number of the inhabitants of the borough were not Beds tied.—(Hear, hear.) Witt there not danger, under such circumstances, that a Tory might get ie.—(Hear, hear.) Whatever might be his deficiencies, he nad mad e some o: the sujf , c , a most inter-sting to the electors his particular study.—(Chtters.) Lit had as much keoe. ledge of the plincielee of political economy, and e f g e. vernment in ;general as either of the other caadiaa.ae, and he was as well qualified re represent ouch consti tuents as he sawheture him.— (Hear, hear.) He appeared before them at the eleventh hour to afford them an epportunity of returning a new member; it was a time when very few candidates would have a chance of sue ee.se, end he believed he should have little chance of suc nets were it not for the exertion's of the gentlemen who had sultported Mr. liervey.—(Cheers.) He must ex press his, regret at the ccurae that had been pursued in reference to that gtntleman by the opposite side.— (Hear, heir.) lie did not think i: was fair or manly to pursue a public opponent with private slander,— (Cheers) If a similar attempt were made against him he should laugh it to scorn --(Cheers.) lie was con acieue that he was there in the discharge of his duty, and he would tiot'succumb to any oce.—(Cheer.) Mr. GlLxs moved a resolution to the effect that the meetirg had heard Mr. Wilkinson's address with satis faction, and pledged themselves to use their endeavours to secure his return at the forthcoming election.— (Chesil; ) The opponents of Mr. Harvey bad not only attacked him, but they could not let his wife alone; be had been hunted down, acid his opponents bad &teamed a victory. Mr. REDFERN areonded the resolution. fir.& M ineffectualSEß ON, after making various effarts to addr ess t h e meet i ng, moved, as " amendment,ndidat e that the reasons given for introducing a new ca were insuffieknt. Mr. MoonE addressed the meeting in support of Mr. Wilkinson. The mover o f t h e amendment was then ex pelled from the meeting, an d the original re 3 I . .0 was carried with aceiamatio n.

Mr. Bowling occupied the chair, and among the gen tlemen on the platform were Lord Robert Grosvenor, Mr. B. Osborne, and o hers. The CHAIRMAN commenced the proceedings by stating that their object in meeting was to take into considera tion whether the electors of Middlesex would go back to the days of despotism, or maintain the present state of things. He considered the public to be deeply indebted to Lord Robert Grosvenor for the repeal of the window tax.—(Hear, hear.) It was now the duty of the electors more than ever to see that the Liberal cause should not be impaired. Than Mr. Osborne there was not a more liberal Member in the House of Commons, and it was was therefore most desirable that undivided support should be given to the Noble Lord and Mr. Osborne. N.) man who was a tried friend to , progress would at t.-mpg to divide the Liberal interest; and he trusted that not only in the county of Middlesex, but throughout the country, all would be united at the ensuing election to ' support those men who would support the measures that tended most to advance the great cause of reform. The chairman then intre duced the candidates. Lord RoBERT GROaVENOR, on rising to address the meetine, was loudly cheered. He said that after thirty years' political life he could not say that be had any new principles to enunciate—(Hear, hear)—but he was de sireus of ascertaining what were the local interests of each and every district of the county which he for the third time sought to represent.—(Hear, hear.) There was not a better district for him to commence in than the Hammersmith polling district, where there were great number of registered electors, and a still greater ere Ling to see placed in a parellel ',umber of no n e l ectors, t h e l at t er of whom heith thosetrusttd who at pre sen t h e ld a stiperior position. position with were rumours of a contest, but up to the present time Le had not seen the individual; l• but whether there should be a ll contest or not he was most happy at a times to make his appearance among his con s tituents.—(Hear, hear.) Lie had felt it to be his duty to give the new Ministry su pport for a time, that an appeal should not be made at en early period to the country, but he would not consent to the third rending of that absurd measure the Militia Bill.—(Cheers.) The various changes of the present Administration reminded him of the popular novel " Jephet in Search of a Father," and he should not be surprised to find a new production from the pen ot the Chancellor of the Exch crier, imitating this title, under the designation of ' 6 A Minister in Search ot a Policy." He would have preferred seeing on the banner of the present party revision of national expenditure.— ( Hear, hear.) His opinion was that all import duties that tended to encourage the smuggler ought to be a' once reduced. His Lordship then trged the necessity for a total abolition of the Excise law, the deficiency arising horn which might be met by a well-regulated system of direct taxation —(Hear.) The people were now prepare I for an exteveiou of the elective franchise, and the a , )eurdity ot a property qualification for members of Parliament should he. abolished.—(Cheers.) Mr. OSBORNE then rose, and was welt received. He was there to vindicate his past conduct and votes. Ho was proud of having been returned by the middle and wurkiug classes, and democracy. He had entered Par liament as a friend of civil and religious liberty, and had advocated free trade; and he would appeal to the proceedings in Parliament how far he had carried out his professions.—(Hear, hear.) The present Ministry, since they got into office, had abandoned protectioa, and the poor man was promised a big loaf because the Derbyites wanted the " little fishes" of office for themselves.— (Cheers.) He had voted against the Ecclesiastical rules Rill because he considered that the Roman Ca tholics should have civil and religious liberty as well us themselves. The Bill had only led to riots, and gutting the houses of the Roman Catholics at Stockport. He had not voted for the Msynooth grant, but had for Mr. Ward's amendment. At the conclusion of a lengthy and eloquent speech the HOP. Gentleman was loudly cheered, and a vote of thanks terminated the proceedings. TO ViER HAMLETS. • A 'meeting of electors of the district of St. George's was held last night at the St. Katherine's Dock Hotel, to hear a statement of their political principles from Mr. G. Thumps ,u Ayrton. The chair was occu pied_, by Mr. P. a C d re M ll r i . n. Mr. InuaLesort, in the course of his speech, observed that the coolest nad been made to turn, not upon the merits of the political principles of himself and Mr. Air. ton, but upon false arid sca ndalous char g es which h as b, en hroti: ht against him. Those charges had emanated chiefly from a j.iuroul in the interest of the brewers and licensed vie:titan:l's, which had falsely stated that he hao il:troduced Mr. Ayrton to the borough, and which had re sorted to the basest means to secure the return of its own nominee, Mr. Butler.—(Cheers.) For more than two months the columns of that paper had teemed with leading articl• s and c',oprnunicatiuns reeking with libel, misrepresentation, and malignant falsehood, such as he had :I, ver seen eq Jailed, save in the most depraved of Trati4tiantic paw". After some further obser 'Wiens with reterance to the journal in question, Mr. Thompson proceede d so Mat''' that Mr. Butler aspired to repr esent a const i tue ncy as el-cidedly dissenting as "Y in the country, and yet three days after the tri umphant election of 1847 t h a t gentleman wrote a letter to an ititimata friend, in which he complained that his parts ..... ; h e party of General Fox —had been shamef u l ly' beaten, and that they must r.. , cover themselves by the defeatof M r. O s borne for bit ddlesex. The letter con chided with these emphatic words :—" Canvass, and let us . show t h e Dissenters that w e Churchmen are deter maitrneel to retrie ve be dig rac e of last week." How bad def.

Mr. PARNELL moved solution, pleegieg the ' and Dr. EA ELS se conded a re. meeting to support Mr. Thump. son at the election. Mr. BONSER moved, all al M r.

He was not prepared to separate Cenral and State; but, for the sake of the Pro testant religion, he did wish to see every church support itself, and should therefore vote against all church-rates. Mr. BETHER said he was not an elector, but came there to represent the non•electors. He wished to know the length Mr. Sewed' would go with regard to the suffrage and shortening the duration of Parliaments. Mr. SCOVELL said he had already stated that he would go to the full extent of Mr. Hllo3o'B ;notion fur the suffrage and wceald vote for triennial Parliaments. Mr. NETHER—WhY wiu you not go for annual Par- IL.monts an d pa id Members? Mr. SCO VELL —I will not vote for annual Parliaments, bee Also I will not keep the country in an annual fer ment. New members r. quire more than one session to get accustomed to their duties; and besides, it is no joke to be :annually mounted on the top of an omnibus, addressing the electors. With regard to the payment of members, I should have no objection to it at all. Mr. ScVoices—How much do you want? ovaLL— A great deal, if you bring me here every year. Mr. HETHER_What is your opinion with regard to the electoral districts? Mr. ScovELL—I have not yet formed an opinion on them, but snail vote for any measure that will unsure a solid and sub,tantial sj stem of voting. Mr. FARRELL then moved the fAlowing resolution:— "That this meeting jog fully recognises that steady ad herence to those principles of practical and progressive reform which has so long characteri.ed the electors of the borough of Southwark i❑ the still increasing en thudasta in favour of their highly talented and emi nently qualified candidate, George Scovell, E , q., and pledges itself, by personal exrntion and every honour able means, to secure his return." Mr. EGAN seconded the resolution, which was carried with ab ,, ut eight di-sentient voices. Mr. ScovELL returned thanks to the meeting, and de clared his intention of going to the poll on Thursday. LONDON, TO THE ELECTORS OF WESTMINSTER. Gentlemen, Yes ! " Truth will out;" and whenever men engaged in a political co test stoop, falsely, to asperse the character of their opponents, it must he from a consciAisness of their own weakness and in antici pation of defeat The partizans of the two Whig Candidates have issued a bill in which they have resorted to this unmanly course, in order to damage me in your estimation. They mean murder, but they may find it suicide. They have accused me of being a Socialist or Communist, and have the h .rdihood to act as if they, and net myself, were the proper exponents of my real sentiments. This accusation is false. Although a strennuous advocate for un restricted freedom of discussion, I am a determined opponent to the sy,tem of Cmnunism. The passages quoted by my adversaries do not embody my opinions, but those only o , Robert Owen, and they are extractem, almost in his own words, from a Summary of h.s Social System... .. . . . vv l had carefully guarded against any possible misconception on the subject by stating that I was about to trace the history of the various communistic theories " from the UTOPIA of Sir Thomas INlore to that of the founder (Robert Owen) of the Infant and Factory School system, and the originator of the short-time move ment ; and that although I differed in toto from many of the opinions to which he had given public expres.ion, especially those advanced at a later period of his career, yet at the same time I felt bound to express my sincere respect for the unflagging zeal which he had displayed as a practical' social Reformer." Who are these men who have set themseives up as dictators to their fellow-electors, and degraded Westminster —once the beacon to all true Reformers in every part of the kingdom —notoriously into a mere pocket-borough ; and who, in default of other weap. ll, of attack, have resorted to vile calumy ?

The Revenue returns for the financial year and quarter ending the sth July instant, are of a very satisfactory character, affording the most conclusive evidence of the general w e lf are and prosperity. It is tr u e that there la a falling off in the ordinary sources of revenue, both on the year and quarter, but these are immediately explained\ by the r e d uct i ons t h at h ave already taken pl ace in the stamp duties and the taxes on light and air, while the alterations in those on sugar and timber have produced no perceptible e ff ec t, or at least have not led to any diminution in the Customs' receipts. We may reasonably anticipate, too that these favourable indications will be continued for some time. Thanks to the gold discoveries in California and AuatraliP, we have at length a circu lating medium adequate to the wants and exigencies of the country. The indu s t r i a l machine is therefore cont inued in motion. Men able and willing to work are tolerably certain of obtaining employment at fair themselves an d f amil i es the humble comforts which shouldalway wages, an d b eing th rough it enabled to provide for sbe withi n th e i r reach. And as, after all, the working man is the c hi e f contributor to the national exchequer, whenever h e i s well off and in cons t a nt remunerative occupati on , t h e e ff ects become speedily perceptible in the in crease d produce of the n a tional taxation. In the Customs we find that there is an improve ment on the year and quarter —on the former of 296,7021., and on the latter of 183,946/., and this notwithstanding the reductions on the sugar and tim ber duties, already referred to. There has also been a smaller quantity of corn im ported, in consequence of the abund an t h arvest o f last whichnearly suppli e d t h e h ome markets with produce. The impr ovement on the other t yr items h e e a mh, oe is,therefore, the more remarkable, and a new illustration is afforded of the almost miraculous elan. ticity of the national resources. In the Excise there is a diminution on the year of 13 2051., but an increase on the quarter of 23,7061. The former may partly be accounted for by the fact that large arrears of hop duties were collected in the former year which could not fairly be considered as parts of the ordinary annual revenue. There is, however, nothing to abate the gratification which arises a t the i mprovemen t on t h e quarter, of what has been mos t justly termed " the inde x t o t h e prosperity o f the working classes,"— an i mprovement the more remarkable when we consider that the cor- responding quarter of last year included the two fiat months of the Exhibition, and the month preceding that event, when the greatest activity was required for the necessary preparations. In Stamps there has been a decrease on the year of 37 ) 389 4, but an increase on the quarter of 101,3341. It must be borne in mind that after the Stamp Act of 1 8 50 received the Royal assent, the several distri buters suffered their stocks to run ;very low in order to take full advantage of the remission. The conse quence was th a t th e q uarters ending the 10 t h O ctober, 185 0, and th e sth J anua ry, MI, were e xcee di ngly productive. T here mus t have been great activity in trade and commerce to account for the v ery l arge improvem ent on the last quar t er . In the A ssessed Taxes t h ere i s o f course a large falling the sub it i tution of the house-duty for the window of} on b ot h per iods. It was esti mate d that tax would occasion a l oss to t h e revenue of two thirds of th e receipts, or, i n roun d num b ers, about 1,200,000/, accurate., as We find the f a lli ng o ff on t h e year to be 1,172,9791. This estimate proved more than usu a ll y 1 While that on the quarter—which, how_ ever, in this instance, may be regarded as the half. year—is 541,524/. It will thus be seen that the compensatin g we have no pr i nc i p l e is already in operation, a n d doubt that when the houses now building are assessed to the duty, the loss will be very consi siderably reduced. In the P roperty.tax, there i s an i mprovement on the year of for Mlle time p as t we bve had toDetect ststeady 10,48 a. This is the more satisfactory, as TUESDAY JULY 6, 1852 reduction in the proceeds of this impost, which is the index to the prosperity of the middle classes, as the Excise is to that of the working-men. The tide is at length turned, slowly enough in the first instance, but it is beginning to run more rapidly as the increase of no less than 80,1101. a quarter will testify. Should a more equitable apportionment be sanctioned by the new Parliament, so as to remove the deep sense of irjustice that induces many persons to evade., the impost, we have no doubt that the flood will flow very rapidly in the right direction. The Post-office still flourishes, thanks to tfie care and attention of ROWLAND HILL and the judicious improvements introduced under his auspices. The increase on the year is no less than 150,0001., and that notwithstanding the additional facilities that are almost daily brought into operation There is a falling off on the quarter of 10,0001., but we must recollect that the preceding period was that in which the opening of the Exhibition occurred, and that the extraordinary correspondence thereby occa sioned led to a very considerable augmentation of this branch of the revenue. In the Crown Lands there is an increase on the year of 70,0001., and on the quarter of 30,0001, and on Misoel ldnenus of 140.6151. on the year, and 110,9481. on the quarter. Of the extraordinary items, we find that there is, under the head of Imprest and other Moneys, a decrease of 60,3921., but an improvement of 72.9181. on the quarter; while the Repayment of Advances were so much more punctually rendered as to exhibit an increase of 148640/. on the year, and of 93,2431. on the quarter. On the whole, the results are very decisive as to the benefits of free trade, affording the greatest encouragement to a further advance in the same direction. The General Election may be said to have at length fairly commenced. This day not merely thirty-three, but actually fifty axle, places are opened to candidates for their nomination. Several of these places, moreover, are of peculiar and, some of them of extraordinary importance. Conspicuous, of course: amongst these constituencies are the metropolitan, and at the head of these ie, of course, the con stituency of the city of London. By the proceed. ings taking place this afternoon in the Guildhall of the capital the majority of the Liberal electors throughout the country will in a great measure be influenced. Of the happy result of these proceedings to the cause of reform there can be no sort of doubt whatever. Nevertheless, we cannot but fear that, with all their recent activity, the free trade possessors of the franchise have not sufficiently well reflected upon the importance of the result of the present elections to the interests of the nation at large both in the mother country and in her vast colonial possessions. We speak here in reference not only to the electors of the metropolis, but to the whole b ody of electors through-ut the United Kingdom, With a considerable pitoportion of the multitude we conceive tbat it has not been borne clearly enough in mind that the consequences of the Present struggle are likely to affect for good or evil the general institutions of Great Britain, not only for a _ w hile, but through a protracted futurity, not merely in reference to the existing, but in regard to many futur e invariably ge ne rations. Such, no doubt, must be the case, more or less assuredly, upon every similar occasion—but never has it been more so than at the present moment when the question submitted to triumph of the co untry is extended from the either Whigs or Tories to the victory of Reform or of have before Retrogression. That, in fact, as we now intimated, is the problem remaining to be solved by the community through the medi um of the new Parliament. Unfortunately for the Liberal interest, the antagonists of reform possess the advantage always accruing to those Who chance to be in office at the period of a dissolution. Unfortunately we say, because it would be absurd to doubt that the circumstance of Lord DERBY being at the head of the Government at this juncture, will mate rially improve the position of his supporters on pre senting themselves to the population. Inasmuch as the opponents of the popular interests are in power at this moment, it is indisputable, therefore, that they possess an advantage over the Reformers generally, but more especially over the adherents of the late Administration. Yet, in spite of this, we feel not less firmly assured of the ulterior success of her MAJESTY'S Opposition. Whatever doubts may be entertained upon this head will at any rate, we rejoice to think, be by no means of long continuance. Within a com paratively brief interval the uncertainty of affairs will be definitively removed. It will then be per ceived whether the people of these islands are prepared to forego the blessings of the course opened to them by the principal statesmen of England, who by their genius and their patriotism have, during the last quarter of a century, guided the operations of the British Government. Foremost among these distinguished Adminis trators, b o th i n genius and in patriotism, ie without one moment's doubt, the Right Honourable Baronet, who has presented himself to the electors of Carlisle in his capacity as one Of the most illustrious of the Liberal candidates. Sir JAMIE GRAHAM, b y his many great Parliamentary achievements during the interval above specified, has earned for himself not merely the respect of all earnest Reformers, but has entitled himself in a peculiar degree also to look for their gratitude and their ad miration. e ,„ name has appeared conspicuously upon all those memorable occasions where improvements have been introduced into the machinery of the Constitution. In 1827 be helped to repeal the Test and Corporation Acts—thereby conducing in a re markable manner to the extension of freedom to the municipalities. In 1829 —as he has nobly and con sistently done within the last three years --be took up a distinguished position, in defiance of very extraor dinary obloquy, in defence of the great principles of civil and religious liberty. c In 18:31 he assisted i n carrying out those large measures of reform which were advocated at that time in the Upper House by Earl GREY, and in the Lower House by Lord JoaN RUSSELL. And in 1835 be again did good service to the Country by advancing anew the cause of munici pal i mprovement. In 1842 he commenced with Sir - "°ltaßT PEEL those admirably graduated and com l'renensive changes in the tariff, which in 1846 were cons ummated by the crowning victory of the Free Trade principles. In short, tbere has been scarcely a single re f orm o f an y importance whatsoever, w hi c h has n ot received during the last five-and-twenty years th e . d irect and energetic support of the Right Hon. Baro net. Up o n his shoulders, moreover, has fallen the ma ut i t , -e of that illustrious statesman, who immeasur ably More than WeeroLe has entitled himself to be re membered as the Great Sir ROBERT. As the acknow ledged chieftain of the associates of Sir EXL . R OBERT 41, is obvious that Sir JAMES GRAHAM would com mand B the attention of hi s f e ll ow - coun trymen. But, addedto the credit redounding . to him as the comp anion and political successor of the departed statesman, are those honourable circumstances re &ciliate— glory inst ' upon himself personally—those cir seautis—falatie(ee: which it has afforded us such peculiar to enumerate. At one period it was con sideredthat Sir JAMES GRAHAM bad acted treason- Sir to Sir It one , Th the office Reformers, in taking under and identifying himself with the great party cif the C on servatives. Viewing events with the ea ire — "as of a retrospective scrutiny, it is impos sible at thin hour to regret the course pursued on the occasion referred to by the Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Ripon, late and now a candidate far the representati on of Carlisle. It enabled him to aid more effect ually than at any previous time in intro ducing a seri es o f enormous improvements in the Constitution. back by e Those improve ments conducted him a natural path to a fellowship with his former (Liberal) associates. 'With them he is now more than ever identified—and Carlisle will do honour t o i tse lf by Ming that tribute to hi s servi ces in the cause of reform which most to him be, at this crisis, of all the most acceptable.— narnel y, by electing him with an overwhelm- Lo g majority as their representative. To. mo rrow is fixed at Carlisle , as well as at fif ty . eight other places, as the day cf nomination. Gladly should we announce that the Right Hon. Baronet had been returned without opposition in company with the other Liberal candidate, as we have the gratification of announcing this evening that a few hours since Messrs. GEACH and &lace were in this manner returned as Members f or C oventry, Sit PAGg WO OD and Mr. LillGtato4l for-the-city f o OxforJ, and Lord DUDLEY STUART and Sir B. HALL for Marylebone. Tnose six elections we regard as a propitious augury for the Liberal .party—the news reaching us early on the first diy of nomi nation. It' such, however, cannot be the equally satisfactory result of the proceedings to-morrow at Carli,le, at any rate the Liberal electors there may redeem their position by returning Sir JAMES GRAHAM on the polling day by a majority worthy of a candidate 80 distinguished. lividly as 'he days speed by, we shall bow have to iaotly the results of the various elections throughout the country—elections to hicb, with every moment's maturer reflection, we regard as more and more likely to turn out advantageously to the cause of the Reformers. ME FRENCH_ Rh:PUBLIC We have received the P:ris journals of yesterday. Toe Corsaire has received a notific,ation to the fol. lowing effect :—" The Minister of Police, considrring hat Article 32 of the organic law on the press of February 17, 1852, tolys—' After one condemnation for clntravention or offence against thA laws on the press, of the responsible editor of a journal, the Go vernment has the power, during the two tnonttis fol lowing that condernnati, n, to declare either its tem porary suspension or suppression'—D-creel, that the publication of the Corsaire is suspended for two months from the 4th instant." The Journal des De bats, after giving the above decree, say s—" We are r-quested to state that the Corsaire will resume its publication as soon as the two months of suspension nave expired." The Corsaire is a Legitimist journal, somewhat pungent in style. It is at present under prosecution, at the suit of M. DE LA GUERONIEKE, the editor 01 the Government organ, the Pays, for libel. The law for the definitive settlement of the budget of 1848, lately adopted by the Legislative Body and sanctioned by the Senate, is promulgat e d i n th e Moniteur of yesterday morning. The French fleet, which left Algiers on the 24th ult., was on the following day off Palma. Oa its passage it fell in with the English squadron under Admiral DUNDAS, consisting of seven sail of the line and six frigates. A smart shock of earthquake was felt at Algiers on the evening of the 29th. Some of the journals state that the Prince DR LA MOSKOWA has asked for permission to serve in the army of Africa, and that his request has been ac ceded to. The Municipal Council at its last sitting had deliberate on the re-organization of the bands of the National Guards. Although reduced to five corps, the bands will cost 18 0001. a year more than when there were twelve legions on foot. This increase has been consented to in order to encourage the art and give assistance to artistes. - The Municipal Council of Toulon has just voted an address of thanks to the PRESIDENT of the Re public for the solicitude which be has displayed in securing to that town a railway communication with Marseilles. The Chamber of Commerce has also voted an ediress of a similar character ; and, in addition, requests the PRINCE to visit Toulon during his approaching tour in the South of France. When the news reached Cherb iurg that the Legis lative Body had adopted the Bill for forming a rail way to that town, a great number of houses, and the ships in the port, displayed the national tiig in token of rejoicing ; and at the night there was a general il• lutnivalion, dancing, and the firing of guns. Toe Municipal Council in its last sitting voted an address of thanks to the PRINCE PRESIDENT Of the Republic, and it resolved that a brouza statue of the Emperor NAPOLEON should he erected on the Quai Napoleon. The Journal des Dads states that forty-sir Bishops out of the eighty-one in France have sigoi th-d their approb , tion of the letter written some snort time since by the &shop of ORLEANS, in favour of em ploying the Greek and Latin classics as hand- books in education. "It may be remembered," says the Journal de Rotten, that, on June 6, the agents of the Stare took possession of the Chateau d'Eu and its dependencies, and, in consequence, that the sale of the furniture which was to take place the next day was prevented. We understand at present that the opposition then made to the sale has been removed, and that the fur niture will be sold by auction towards the end of the month." The accounts from the different manufacturing districts are pretty good, A fair amount of busi ness in the differtmt branches of bilk, wool, and cot ton is said to be doing. The harvest promises well, although there are rumours of injury having been done to the wheat by the late long-c.,ntinued rains, which may be exag!erated. The vine is reported in good condition, and there is, on the whole, promise of an abundant year. The Marseilles journals state that for some days past, a vast number of funny fish, estimated at be tween four and five thousand, have been off that coast. The fishermen immediately united, and caught between 500 and 600 a day. The average weight of each fish was found to be between 30 and 40lbs. The Bourse was firm, with not much business doing. The Four-and-a-HalF per Cents. opened at 102 f. 90e., and clomd at 102 f. 8 0c. for the end of the month; the Three per Cents. closed at 71f. 65e,; Orleiins Railway Shares, 1,257 1. 50c.; Rouen, 8771. 50c.; Havre, 337 f. 50c.; 29 Great No rt h ern, 6251.; A v i gnon, 451 f. 25c.; Basle, 678 3r. 75c f. 75c. ; Pari s an d Stras b urg , 605 F.; Paris and Lyons, i the New Austrian Loan, 94i, BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, JULY 5.
