THE lit SF FEEttonHIRE ELF CTION RAOTA,--.A. special meeting of magiArates was held at Ross; on Tuesday, to investigate the caus-?.s of, and the circumstances attending, the riots there on saturdav week, wh en t h e pull . books were destroyed by a mob, a preliminary meeting having been held on Friday. After the high shut a bad awed that he appeared in his official capacity, to demand of the local ma tistrates that they would make a minute inquiry into the origi n of the late riots, by which one of the p .11-books had been destroyed, the under-sheriff . read the declarations taken en the day . of the declaration of the poll. From the declara tion of Richard Deakings Turner,. poll-clerk at booth No. 2, appears that at two minutes to four the booth was attac to attacked. viten the deputy-sheriff and the declarant en deav oured escape, but two fellows with long staves like c onstables' Raves, and having painted on the top the colours orange_ and green, followed the declarant ; one of them caught hold of the poll-bolt and register of voters' book, and endeavou r e d to wrest the same from him, and said at the same time, All We want is the book; we won't harm you it you give it u." The deputy-sheriff then took the bd ' oks of which, torreyer, he was immediately deprved. The . declarations of he checkclerk for Messrs. Booker, i King, and Hanbury, who bad his checkbook wrested from him, of the slipclerk, and messenger, went to show that the slipsheets received at the committee-rooms of Messrs. Booker, King, and Hanbury, 'were correct transcripts of the poll-book. On the motion of Mr. Vaughan, the court was ordered to be cleared; but it Was understood that the chief business related to the claims of persons whose property had . been damaged. A man tamed Turner had been committed for trial on a charge of fraudulently obtaining money and refreshment by means of false orders purporting to be issued by the committee of Messrs. Booker, King, and Hanbury.

In this trusty mausoleum of dead fallacies we had copposecl that - itirobtrine hoesbed - Trisni the senate`, the hus tirigsi :ld the newspaper might still have found advocates and admirers. The herd might fly from . the stricken deer, but there was still one bourn on which it could rest, ,Not so, however, has it turned out. La' the wondrous epic in which our northern contemporary describes the glorious triumph of Lord Derby over the powers of hell and night arrayed against him, there is not a word of the tutelary goddess whose champion he has been, of the fair Siren whose colours he has worn. We thought we were to have been enchanted with the gorgeous picture i n w hi c h Protection should arm her Derby for the tight, and, with tearful donfi'lence, send forth her devoted champion to - conquer or die in her cause ;• and we supposed, after.. the success .which our contem porary was sure to claim for his hero, be ,would, re turn to lay its trophies at her 'feet. •i•We. imagined to ourselves thelofty scorn wits which the base suggestion by a hostile press, that. Lord Derby contemplated: the . abandentient oT PrOtectiOn; - would be encountered, end the sublimated and ardent zeal with Which the omits or monopoly would be clung' to, becatise it was untetiehle , „ end hoped in hecausc it was hopelvsg. • Vie rem,:.mbered how the ghosts of religious pereecution, elf:aural cor rupfion, and of every othr, e'ell which the liberality, of iMie years has effaced, gibbored and iihrieked iii ch....pages of our contemporary long after these things had ceuen to be realities, and we augured that Protection would find a like resting-place to larenk• the abruptness, of Its descett train overthrow to oblivion. Not so, however. It appears that the .Eerl, of Derby, not without much trepidation to our monthly conteraporcry, deliberattly gave battle to the powers of evil QII Violet of this month. Utterly unconnected with - the cruse of Protection, neither owing his party leadership nor having coin posed his Ministry with the slightest reference to a tax upon corn, this great man was calm and quick sighted enough to see that the real battle was against D.mccracy and Popery, and he was also sagacious enough to find out " that cunning and desperate attempts would be made to shift the scene of the contest to a dis advantageous and deceptive locality; in fact, to persuade the millions that their bread was in danger, before the false colours could dissolve away, and the wise and bene volent statesman could appear in his true figures and colours." How wonderful it is that so good and simple a man os Lord Derby—one conscious in the inmost re cesses of his honest heart of never having wished to tax the bread cf the people, never having held out any lure of the kind to the discontented agriculturists, should yet blend se much of the serpent with the dove as to foresee that there • would arise men wicked and cruel enough to tax him with a leaning to so foolish a policy and so heartless an injustice! Well may B4choood fed indignant that such a thing. was attempted, end great grounds has he to exult that it has, as he assures us, entirely failed. But, alas for Protection ! no; longer a watchword, a prieciple, and a, policy; it hes surds into a .moekery, a delusion, and:a snare; aerie° tar a statesman • with Protective leanings, instead of .the highest of com pliments, has become_ .the grossest. of slanders. The Constitution and No Popery is the watchword, not Pro tectiou, and to say otherwise is a• fraudulent device of the enemy.:: Having thus arranged his battle-ground to hie heart's content,, ,LorchDerhy,. him:Bower's heroes, indulges his antegoniws with a colloquy before fighting ; and thus does the modern Achilles commence the dike logue, in terms to which to our irreverent mind suggass the notion of a waiter carrying a hot dish .

Te es adjured, his antrgouiits answer that they are. afraid of a return to the bread tax.- Lord Derby assures them that they have no occasion to be alarmed,- for that though he would like to " foster and stimulate the ener gies of producers, and provide a quick-paying, safe market for them, by taxing corn, yet this sonic and honest nation is against' tom on the point, and there fore he is content to take power in order to maiutain our national indepeedeece, the connexion between acrrioe te wn r f o ro f in en q r u i i n v s e t r i 7 Church and State,•the Prote g stt 'teeloreiriin the.crim. tutione, and to prevent then Queen's sees ing on her sawed brow. son darkness of anarchy, and througlirit, the said mitt.; son darkness, the fabric of a repubiitscrumbliug .uritler-a military despotism."

" Now, came the• tug of war—now was to be seen the fruit of those seeds which all parties had been sowing during the interval to propitiate the people." To diyereity the duties of a general action by the in spection of seeds sown to propitiate the people is a new employment of the heroic mind. But !Et that pass. " A large portion of the seed consisted of the distrust of Lord Dorby, which was expected to grow up flexible and chamelion-hued." - Under this beeutiful allegory we fancy, we distinguish a withering allusion fo Sir Jaeass 3rreereasse.

Suffice it to say that the result has been a complete triumph to Lard Derby. Almost every bodyis with him, and nobody against him; we ourselves have-been utterly taken in, beeauze we must have meant, though we did not say so, that Lord Derby would be in a minority. Mr. Disraeli has said—and who doubts anything that Mr. Disraeli says?—that Government will have a majority. This being so, there is nothing left but to rejoice that we have got au "able, united, Pro testant Conservative Government; and, if any_ one doubts the fact, we can call Lord Malmssbury to vouch for its ability, Mr. Christopher for its union, herd John Manners for its Protestantism, and the ex-Rsdical Premier and Chanceiler of the Ex chequer for its Conservatism. - Its mission "i 5 to act where its predecessors could only talk; to c easolidate . and .strengthen where they "could only dis turb and unsettle, and to terminate the wretched atrite of classed by a just, c.utious, firm, and comprehensive Policy."

DAILY NEWS, ! —With the 'exception of Otk ne y t h e r e turns of all the' Scotch elections have been . receiv e d. Scotland "stands where it did.:' - The most d esperate efforts of the Derbyites hare failed/3 0 ,wrest one seat from the Liberals. 'As bw °era only one district of boroughs sends a Teri Parliameet; the counalee uCe eeijoe:d between the Liberale,and_the Twice the Lame proper. Theree e e tionas formerly.

Bill. t e o t present e e n p t re el s c fi t t i e e t n i . o is a ph h e as n been little lit not tle Mate= This curious fact we - are - disposed to attribute to the circumstance that the el, ctorai body a manner en tirely new; that it was first - created by the e' e n of 1832. Under the old electoral system in Scotland the only Voter's were Some 2,t90 in the 6ounties, most of them a thficiitious qualifications, the cadets, dependents, or m' • ian a of the great familitaS, and some 2,500 Members ofself-elected town councils. These worthies returned the Scotch 45—that phalanx so notorious for its servility. Their number was too small to diffuse political corruption extensively through society; their electioneering machinery was quite inapplicable to the constituencies created by the Reform Act. Hence there is, even in the present time, scarcely any corruption among the Scotch constituencies. The boroughs are remarkably pure, and in the counties it is not so mica bribery as the Sir Pertinax Ilecsyco phant disposition to " bou" to groat men —a weakness uiviving in rural districts from t,udal tint-s that enabl.s the squirearchy to carry the day. This state of affairs will probably beep the balance of parties in the Scotch representation nearly what it is until some change is made in the franchise or the distribution of the elec toral districts. A few constituencies which have veered between the Liberal and the Tory ascendancy might indeed be reclaimed to the Liberal cause. Mr. Anderson, Q C., bad nearly carried the Airdrie burghs, notwithetanding the enormous patrimonial in terest the Baird family possessed there; and Mr. Cardwell, brought forward at the eleventh hour, g ave Sir D. 11. Blair a close run. Now the Liberal electors in the Airdrie district are still labouring under th e paralysis of their energies superinduced by the divisions between the Hamilton interest and the independent electors attached:to the - late Mr. Wilson, of Duudyvan; were they firmly re-united the district which was at On e time represented by Lord Lincoln, • and at another by Gille), of Wallhouse, might easily be regained for the reform cause. Again. the all but successful effort in behalf of Mr. Cardwell in Ayrshire, was made notwith• standing a scandalous neglect of the registration by th e Liberals, persevered in ever since 1839, to such an ex tent, that when ,Lord James Stuart was asked som e months ago to allow' his son t 0 stand for the 'comity, and would base done it could he have been shown that there was any prospect of success, note one' of the leading Liberals could give biro the slightest.-idea how the register stood. A vigorous effect at the registration. is all that is required to enable the Re formers to redeem the county of Richard Oswald from the Tories at next election. So, too, with regard to Lanarkshire, Renfrewshire, and Duakbartonsbire. Every one of these counties has at one time been " re! . sented by Liberal Members, and might be again. It at is true that Mr. Sinollett (Dembartenshire) is as accom plished and Liberaleikded a Conservative as can be imagined; and his atteation to local business, hi, airs. bility, a spice of the humour of the old novelist of his family, have endeared him to hie constituents. I t would not be easy tennscatihim•laut the attempt to regain th e county would not be hopeless . were any other candidate On his side to succeed him. Again, Colonel Mare (Ran_ frewshire), as an accerneliahed scholar and -.m en of liberal sentimeritti, 'general favourite;—his seat, however, is by no means .so aseured a s Ai r , Smollett's, and eligible Liberal: candidate. mi g h t teepee i t from . be e . Lastly, Mr, Lockhart's sole hold upon Lanarkshire is -his exemplary attention to local business; no such prestige attachee to him as to th e other two we have -named. Lanarkshire might easily be gained by . resolute effort. We feel con vinced of thie'by the retialts of an inquiry instituted by the late Mr. Colin Dunlop' a short time befbre he was invited to stand for Glasgow. There are five constitu. envies wbi c h' m i g h t and ought to be ga i ne d .by . the Li berals in Scotland. • The whole of the borough s would then have Liberal re p r esentat ives. Ia all the counties we have named (and,perhaps , ia Kirk db •rig h) cu , there is au independent electorate, that might be kept de cidedly Liberal; in the .rest of t h e S co t c h cou n t i es , the landlord interest will prevail as long as the pres en t I ran . chile and the present distribution of electoral dis tricts continue, and as long as there is open voting .' Where the great families are Whip, there will be a Whig Member returned ; where Tories,' a Tory ; and this not -BO much from corruption or intimidation, as from a lingering of the clannish and vassaiaspirit among the farmers—a romantic sentiment, which experience and enlightenment will cure. The comparative absence of a venal, or mean, mercenary spirit among the Scot c h electors is a fact that has a mural of its own. It is owi on , to the circumstance of the infinitesimally small p ropor ! . tiorL in, which, an old corrupt electoral elettent was mingled wish the new one called into existence by th e Reform' Act. When the history - of elections in Edin burgh and Glasgow is contrasted with their history i n Litaerphol; it will be ObiiOns how important it is to k een otiose ituenClea pure. . _ Where any considerable amoun t of corruption has deielopad itself, it is scarcely possible to expel or neutralise is even by a large infusion of n ew blond.

The business' of the meeting would therefore be o receive the directors' report of the progress of the company from its formation, the present state of b r ,operations, its prospects for the future, and the 'lance-sheet. 'The board had given their utmost at tention now for some time to-the carrying out of the Undertaking, which he' believed, after' they should have beard. the - report, they - would be satisfied was one promising Very great benefits, not only to the country in which the operations had been commenced, hut, if conducted with economy and prudeece 001 so far as they bad been earritA the economicel prin- Ciple had been strictly adhered to); be had the most, sanguine expectations,. ba s ed on th e . exneriment prietors.

The promoters, however, thought it prudent, in the first instance, to confine their operations to Ireland, the Government being averse to granting a charter for England, and land and labour being mtich'clieaper in' the - sister cotintry. The capital had been fixed at 120,0001., with power to increase it to 300,0001. At first -the experiments were directed to testing the applicability of the hot blasts to,the furnaces, and ,thnoperation-of the gases, - and upon the calculation made for that purpose the directors had announced in the prospectus that the works'lnight be brotight 'into operatitensby calls of V. a share. The Site chosen far carrying out 'their operations was situated on the north of the bog of Allan, four miles from the town, of Athy, and near the Carlow bronch of the Great,Seuthern and Western: Railway (which had met the company in a most liberal spirit , and had construct e d a siding icathe works'at their own expense), and comprised 500'aeres of bog, which had been -obtained .o n a d vantageous terms on a lease, for 'lOO years, povver- being re_ served to the company to terminate it on a year's notice. There had been some delay in bringing the works into operation, and it was not until January last that the fires in the retorts were fairly lit, but 'within the last few ,mon4s air the 'difficulties whic'h shad presented themselves in the 'manfaCtur= ing process (and they eireia - numerous) had yielded to the scientific principles employed.'

RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE. NORFOLK. The adjourned special meetieg of this cocspanJ was held yestordsy at the Guildhall-nuildiegz, to con fider the expe6iency of creating debenture or preference ebareo under the provisions of the Act recentlylpasied; Mr. S. M. Peto, M.P., in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said the subject fur which they had been called together heel given t:: a directors great anxiety. They_were highly indebted.: to.

With referece-e to the general prospers o' the cornenny, he might be allow e d 7.0 state that the truffle returns show a must greofyin ie ieerease of receipts during the present year, as co m p are d w i th the correspoilolug period of the preceding year when they h a d th e b.refic oe the Exhibition traffic. There was every of ‘vha p t r m os s ieet that the traffic would continue to increase. The exertioas that had been made at their outports in connexion with steam navigation had contributed in. n o sme ll degree to this result. In the year 1849 there were i mporte d i n to this country 185,378 head of cattle; in 1850, 217,243; and in 1851, 303,976. The proprietors would feel that the effort on the part of directors and some large -shareholders, who telt it their duty to start in connexion with this com pany steam-vessels from Lowestoft, had been directed in the right course, and that it would greatly contribute to the benefit and welfare of the Norfolk company in securing a fair proportion of the traffic. They began with one vessel in 1849, they added another in 1850, and they added a third in 1851, and their trade at Lowestoft was now so large that they were not able to accommodate it all, although they had three vessels of 700 tons burden each constantly at work. He hoped that the large accommodation which was now being provided would give an impetus to the traffic of the railway. He was satisfied that this mov ement b y some o f t n e l a rgest shareholders, and by other companies on the eastern coast, to extend the system of steam naviga tion to the north of Europe in connexion with that impor tant element of traffic, through booking, would be at tended with the most successful results. They all knew that his friend Mr. Roney had carried out that syst em is connexion with the Irish traffic, whereby passeng ers and goods may ho booeked frcm England to any part of Ireland, and it; was their intention to do the same thing, thro ug h M r . R oney ' s agenc y, by means of the Norfolk, the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, the Midland, and the London and North-Western Rail way to any part of the north of Euro companies, to bock through from any part of Eng landey would excuse his mentioning the subject by way of pa renthesis, as it was one which very much engrossed the t They had given notice to the holders :f e l I H 2 attention of the directors. During the last six weeks urea that they would be prepared to pay th e ' the directors have paid off every overdue debenture. six months' time, and further, the d' provided, upon their own security , the sum directors had 2a 0001 to pay off the remainder ; so that they would be eff.

Re concluded by moving a resolution to the effect that 50,670 preference shares, of 10/. each, to be entitled " Norfolk Rail way Debenture Shares," be created for the purpose of pay ing cff the mortgagee granted by the compa n y, the dividend to be fixed at 4 per cent, per annum, to b e Pa i d dividend upon the existin g pre ifie,,irepnreofeereennde preference guaranteed any al rs te shares of the company, us pro vided by the Act." Mr. Tem seconded the motion. n A PROPRIETOR said, it appeared to him that the de benture debt of the company had been increased to the extent of 34,000/. since February last. he C}fAiumaw was happy to say that the increase alluded - to would not inert:me the annual charge on the company. They might recollect there was a rent charge of 1,0001. a ye :1r for the Lowestoft Harbour, and - that by the Act they were bound, within 10 years of its passing, to exercise the option of taking it at 25 years' purchase, or at 4 per cent. The company had purchased it by giving a debenture for 25,0001. at 4 per cent., and this was part of the increase in the debentures. With reference to other matters, the directors thought it wise to take a certain margin. and they created debentures and placed them in the hands of Mr. Glyn, in the names of three trustees, to meet any claims that might come against the company, for they had no power to increase the capital alter the 4 per cen:. stock was issued. Major COURT said it eppeared to him that the direc tors had ci . ee.ed a hrger amount of debentures than they ware tinthorised to oo by Act of Parliament. The CnarnmAry stated, in reply, that they were 24,0001. witain the amount they were authorised to raise u p i n debentures, a fact which the Lion. Proprietor should have every opportunity of satisfying himself' upon if he would call at the cffiee. The rescAution was then unanimously adopted. Resolutions were also passed, fixing the deposit at 2/. per share, and the two first instalments at 1/. each, the succeeding instalments not to excted 21 each, with in tervals et three months between each call; etapuw, r i ug the director 4 to agree with any proprietor who may be deairoui ot paying up his shares in lull; and authorising 8,707 of the said shares to be offered to the holders of . new 201. shares according to the provisions ot the Act. rateably according to their holdings, and any shares not taken up to be disposed of by the directors for the bene fit of the company. On the motion of Mr. TITE, a cordial vote of thanks was passed to the chairman and directors,' and the meet ing separated. ABDUCTION. An accident of an unusual, not to say romantic and extraordinary character, has given within the last day or two a public notoriety to the name of a small town ship in the neighbourhood of Bristol, which, after some recent electioneering proceedings there, was, to say the least of it, quite unnecessary. The rector of the parish has sundry lair daughters, and not many weeks since one of them (the youngest) Ives united in the bonds of wed lock to tee man of her choice, a gay and dashing son of Mare, an officer of the Indian army.
