The following in the address of Marshal JEROME BONAPARTE to the Senate at its last sitting : Messieurs les tetnateurs,—Our order of the day is exhausted, and in a few minutes you will have read to you a decree from the Prince President of the Republic, .tin , t , ,.., a n end to our labours for the session. During the time that the Senate has been holding its sittings, it has worthily performed its duty. It has responded, as was to be expected, to the confidence of the chief of the State, and to the hope of the country. After a con scientious examination, and discussions, remarkable for their ability, it has adopted two organic senatus coniulta, which the Constitution has allowed it to vote. The sanction which it has given to the bills voted by the Le• gislative Body was always preceded by an examination which will add to their moral authority and to their influ ence over the populations. &fore we separate, permit me, gentlemen, to thank you for the co-operation which you have afforded me, and on which I had fully reckoned; for, between you and me, there is an indissoluble bond, that of the sympathy and devotedness which unite us to the country and to the Prince President of the Republic, who, like us. has only in view the welfare, honour, and independence of our country." This address was received with loud marks of ap probation. The Illoniteur says—" Rumours have been disse minated of a plot having been discovered in a regi ment, and have been even accredited in divers journals. We. are able to give a positive contradiction to these rumours, which do not rest on any real foundation. The army will remain, what it has hitherto been, firm and devoted to its duties." M. DE LAMARTINE, who recently left Paris, is at present in Burgundy, at his residence at St. Point. The French Government has given orders that a marble bust of the late Dr. RECAMIER shall be imme diately executed and placed in the large hall of the Academy of Medicine. The Bank of France has during the last week been sending considerable sums in notes and cash to Lyons, St. Etienne, Avignon, and Marseilles. These remit tances are rendered necessary by the purchases made in connexion with the silk crops, which every year at this period give great activity to business in the de partments of the south. The Constitutionxel says :—" Some few days of fine weather and of heat have made a most wonderful change in the appearance of the crops in almost all the departments. The hay crop, which at one time appeared to be destroyed in the north of France, now holds out the most flattering hopes. In several points of the Pas de Calais, rye-cutting has commenced, and the grain is remarkably fine ; for many years, the crops of itix have not bad such a healthy appearance ; as to the wheat, the farmers are of opinion that the present harvest will equal the most abundant years. The colzas, which are about to be cut, are in general very satisfactory. The accounts from the centre and the south of France are likewise good, with the ex ception of the districts which have suffered from the late inundations. Very little wheat has as yet been cut in the Bordelais, but the crop is at least an average one. More to the southward, the harvest is more advanced. The account of the state of the vine yards in the Bordelais are less unsatisfactory than those from the vineyards on the Rhone. The price of wheat and flour has already fallen at the Halle, in consequence of the fine weather." A Paris correspondent of the _Emancipation, of Brussels says—" The PRESIDENT of the R epu bli c i s now busily employed in improving his residence at St. Cloud. H e is having the trees, shrubs, and alleys arranged on a new plan; he wishes to arrange near the palace of St. Cloud a park similar to those seen around noblemen's residences in England, and for this object the PRINCE is, it is said, purchasing woods and properties in the neighbourhood. The visit which the ex King made to St. Cloud on Satur day was for the purpose of taking leave of his nephew, as h e proposes to make a little excursion to the coasts of Brittany and Normandy. He will probably visit Nantes, Lorient, Brest, St. Malo, &c. The PRINCE PRESIDENT has placed at the disposal of the Marshal the steam screw corvette La Reine Hortense, which is now at Havre." The French squadron of evolution anchored on the 6th in the port of Toulon, coming from Algiers and the Balearic Isles. Government renter were feeVe at the Bourse, with little busin , •Es doing. Railway Shares rose considerably, particularly the Orleans. The Four•and-a-Half per Cents. opened at 1031. 10c., and closed at 103 f. 15c. for the end of the month ; the Three per Cents. closed at 72f. 35c.; Orleans Railway Shares, 1,285 E; Rouen, 8801.

The Espana records the fact that the PRINCE PRE SIDENT of the French Republic had presented a gold 'M medal to Captain FuryEs of the Spanish brig Teresa, who had, on the 29th May, saved the crew of the French ship Louise, off the Azores, and carried them in safety to the Havannab, refusing any recompense for this kind act.

GERMANY. - ------- The Cologne Gazette confirms the report which was in circulation some days back, of the Catholic Bishops of Silesia, Pomerania, and Western Prussia, having addressed to the KING a refusal to enter the first Chamber of the States. The Dusseldorf Gazette of the sth contains a letter from Cologne, which states that the King of PRUSSIA was so delighted with the cathedral that, when in the transept, he said to the President of the central com mission of re s t o r a tion: " This cathedralis dear to my heart, and it must absolutely be finished 1" From the account current of the Bank of Vi enna , ju,lt published up to the 30 th ult., it appears that on that day the cash in hand was 42,277,575 florins, and the notes in circulation 199,627,527 florins, or three millions less than in the preceding month. RUSSIA• Yesterday was the birthday of the Emperor of RUSSIA. He was born on the 7th July, 1796, and 14, therefore, in his 57th year. He ascended the throne on the Ist December, 1825.

The above young lady gave her fir st concert last night, when she was assisted by a lon g list of celebrities in the musical profession. Not withstandin g the intense heat of the weather, a very larg e audience, in their eagerness to support the young vocalist, set it at defiance, and sat as patiently for three hours in the crowded hall as if it were a December evening. Certainly the pro• gramme was most attractive, and the different artists engaged acquitted themselves well. Miss Brahum's sweet voice did ample justice to her various songs, Tho " Sol-fa" duet between herself and Mr. F. Bodda was excellent, not se much perhaps for her perfect vocaliza tion as for the arch expression with which she sang it. Mrs. Newton gave the well known " Qui la voce" in her usual delicate and musician-like manner. Mr. V. Collins distinguished himself by his admirable rendering of Sive,ri's violin solo, the " Carnival de Cuba," wleile Mr. G. c o te --mg performed a solo very excellently on the violoncello. The concert, on the wbDle, passed off with gr e ea . t e s r pirit, and wtz hsvo to congratulate Miss Braham m an m d e is a h l r t 0 0 v ri b thank k for herth a o gre n er.bl=i;: i i of her friends. elogrratthifi7eali'i'or7n SPORTING NOTES. No. CCLXI. THE WORCESTER, NEW MARKET, AND LAN CASTER RACING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The scurry for the Flying Stakes yesterday at Worcester terminated, somewhat unexpectedly to the public, in the victory of Butterfly—Forester, the fa vourite, when called upon, not being able to finish, being completely run out. A:ay-day and Sleeping Partner encored their per formance of the previous day by running first and second for the Hallway Handicap; neither of these races, however, affect any closed stake in the womb of futurity. The Newmarket Summer Handicap resulted contrary to my expectation, that inferior specimen of a race-horse, Bushranger, winning cleverly from Clincher. This running, in my opinion, to all intents and purposes, settles Clincher's chance for the Liverpool Cup, and with it Topbana's. Bushranger is in the Goodwood Stakes at 63t 61b, but with the penalty he will have to carry for winning yesterday, I take it his chance is completely out. The Lancaster Cup was won, as I expected it would be, by Lindrick, who managed to dispose of John of Berwick and the rest of the field very cleverly. The victory of this horse would seem to favour Red Lion's chance for the Ebor Handicap, as the latter is some pounds superior to him. A circumstance having occurred, over which I had no control, will compel me to defer the publication of my remarks on the Derby of 1852 from to-day until Satur day, to-morrow's note being devoted to a:consideration of the Liverpool meeting.—l am, Sir, &c.

The nomination of candidates for tho representation of this borough took place yesterday. There was a large crowd, very noisy, but very good humoured withal, assembled in front of the hustings on Clerkenwell green. Mr. Boykett, the returning officer, having gene through the usual preliminaries, Mr. J. ARMSTIt3NG proposed Mr. T. S. Dancombe as a fit and proper p, rson to represent the borough in Par liament. He impressed upon the electors the necessity of returning such men as Mr. Duncombe, for the land lords' pea was under tha Derby thimble. Dr. EPPS seconded the nomination. Mr. T. GREEN proposed Aii:Jam;l3 Wyld as a friend of the people, and called on the electors to return Mr. Duncorcbe at the head of thn poll in combination with Mr. Wyld. Mr. N. LINDON seconded the nomination. Mr. Wilda proposed Mr. Alderman Challis, and Mr. W. TYLER seconded the nomination. Mr. DUNCONBE, who was enthusiastically received, then addressed the electors. He was there that day for the purpose of redeeming the pledge which he gave on the first occasion when they returned him to Parlia ment, namely, that so long as the borough of Finsbury was prepared to stand by him ho should never desert the electors of Finsbury.—(Cheers.) He was there, he said, to redeem that pledge; but before he went into any of the questions of the day he begged that he might be allowed to say that ho stood there unaided and unas sisted by any other candidate.—(Cheers.) He had formed no coalition whatsoever.—(Hear, hear.) It was to the electors, and the electors alone, that he looked for support.—(Hear, hear.) He had been told that he had not been quite so complimentary on one or two occa sions as he ought to have been towards his fellow-can didates.—(Cries of "Question," " Order," " Turn him out," and "It is the Question.") He was told that he h a d been uncourteous to one and unkind to the other. He could only say that, if he had, such never was his intention.—(Bravo.) When two candidates appeared. as it were, to unseat an old respresentative, they must forgive him if he told them that the old representative must look with a little suspicion and jealousy upon them, particularly when they entered the field before any vacancy occurred.—(Cheers.) But this was all he could declare— " How happy could I be with either Were t'other fair charmer away, But while you thus tease me together, To neither a word will I say." —(Laughter and cheers.) The Queen had dissolved Par liament, so far as Finsbury was concerned, to send him to ask his constituents what they thought of Lord Derby as Prime Minister; and if they returned him again to Parliament it would be his duty in his place in Parlia ment to tell the House of Commons what the electors of Finsbury thought of the present Prime Minister—(Cheers) what they thought not only of -the man, but also of his measures.—(Hear, hear.) They knew he had told the country that he wished to have the opinion of the coun try upon the question of taxing the focd of the people— (hear, hear)—and if there were a majority in his favour, or in favour of taxing the food of the people, he would set seriousty to work and try to effect that diabolical purpose. But, whether Lord Derby bad 50 or 100 of a majority, he (Mr. Dancombe) cared not. He, on their part, should d are L or d D er b y to propose, and defy him to pass any measure for the taxation of the food of the people.—(Loud cheers.) He (Mr. Duncombe) thought the electors would say the day for his making profes sions was gone by.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") He stood there to be judged by his votes, and by the opinions he had expressed in his place in Parliament. They knew full well what he had done in furthering the cause of reform, whether connected with the Church or with the State.—(Applause.) He was prepared to con- tinue those exertions in favour of such reforms. He was what was commonly called anti-Maynooth.— (Hear.) He always opposed the grant when it was annual, and opposed at every stage the proposal to make it permanent. He was prepared to oppose that endow men;c again, if it should come before Parliament, as well as all other religious endowments—(Cheers)—proposed to be effected by the State. He was also against what was called the militia, and therefore an anti-militia. man. At the coming of the new year the compulsory parts of that measure would be put into execution, and the honest and industrious mechanic would find himself drawn away from his home. If it should be proposed to repeal that measure, his vote should be given in favour of its repeal.—(Hear.) It was an ill-advised, unnecessary measure; it was calculated to create confusion at home and jealousy abroad.—(Hear.) He had given the electors a little bill of fare as to what he was against; perhaps they would like to know what he was for. He was for justice to all at home, and against interference in the affairs of their neighbours abroad.—(Hear, hear.) He said justice and equal rights to all at home, n o t forget ting justice to Ireland. If any one wished information on other points, he was ready to give it. He was ready to answer for any vote, opinion, or anything he had done since he had had the honour of their acquaintance.— (Cheers.) He confessed that he wished this struggle bad not been a contest of Liberal against Liberal. It would have been more creditable to their cause, and more satisfactory, he thought, to the constituency of Finsbury; but, as it was, he had, acting on the defen sive, been obliged to unfurl the old blue and buff now waving on the breeze.—(Applause.) Those colours had never been defeated yet—(A Voice—" Nor sullied") — and they would not be defeated now.—(Loud cheers.) Ho therefore claimed their confidence and asked for their support in vindication of those principles be ever had advocated, and in which, if a man knew himself, he should, be it soon or be it late, close his political career.—(Great cheering.) Mr. W YLD next addressed the electors, but the politi cal antipathies which had been suspended during Mr. Duncombu's speech broke forth 111 clamour, which lasted, with some change of performers, till the pro ceedings terminated. He presented himself to the elec tors under different circumstances from those under which the Hon. Gentleman who had just addressed them had appeared. That lion. Gentleman had occasion to come before them for the purpose of stating his political faith; but he (Mr. Wyld) came before the intelligent constitu ency of Finsbury for the first time. Renewing his ex pressions of regret that placards of a most scurrilous kind should have appeared against his opponents — (Cheers) —he expressed his belief that no person con nected with him would have dared to perpetrate acts so dastardly and base as those to whi c h h e re f er red. A placard had bean traced to a member of his committee, and that member of his committee had been required to resign. He would not carryon a contest with personali ties. They were assembled to-day for the purpose of exercising one of the greatest privileges of a free people. He advocated au extension of the suffrage in almost its widest sense. He was there that day to ad vocate the right of every man to a vote, on a residential qualification of six months, the name of the elector being also placed on a list of voters. They were there to cast back into Lord Derby's teeth the declaration he made on coming into office. The Noble Lord said that one part of his mission was to repel the wild waves of democracy. He was mistaken in his mission. The people de manded political power, and if Lord Derby, or any other person presumed to oppose the mighty will of the people, great events were before him and his party which they would eternally regret.—(Cheers and clamour.) A party which for five years had been ob structive of progressive improvement, and, by the chicanery of men who ought to have known better, had succeeded to power, had appealed to the people to ratify a policy which was not clearly detailed, but which, according to the statement of the Chan' caller of the Exchequer, " loomed in the future." Did Lord Derby propose to extend to the intelligent mem bers of that community the right of sending Members to Parliament?—(Cheers and clamour.) With respect to education, by the Noble Lord's late minute it would be cribbed, confined, restricted to the peculiar teaching of peculiar dogmas, and within the narrow limits of a seat -(Cheers and clamour.) Education must be co-existent with an extension of political power. He asked his po litical opponents and his personal enemies whether, through the whole course of his life, they had not seen him not merely the advocate of education, but practically carrying out measures for its extension? There were, questions of great importance besides the extension of the suffrage and education. There was a question which had been taken as for once and for ever set tled— he meant the question of free trade. The asse mbled people inquest upon England were sitting at present on a mighty upon that great measure; it would seem that it was necessary to have a ratification of the decis ion wh ich they had already pronounced. In spite of t he eff orts of landlords and wealthy millionaires, he ventured to predict that free trade would ever be the law of the land. There were two measures he desired t o see car ried, ono for the introduction of vote by ballot, the other for shortening the duration of Parliaments.— (Uproar.) As coming before the electors f or the first time, he wished to declare before them, grand jurors of the State, what were his opinions. lie repeated the explanation formerly given respecting the absence of his name from lists of divisions on the ballot. Mr. Berke ley had stated that he ever esteemed him (Mr. Wyld) a supporter of that great measure. There was another question on which a representative of Finsbury would have to decide, namely, the expediency of a thorough revision of the taxation of the empire. No system could be worse than that which now existed. They had free trade in corn, but had they real free trade? While th e labouring classes were subjected to an increasing com petition they were taxed to an enormous extent on their by an increased tea, their sugar, their tobacco, thei r soa p —a rticles which entered into the use of daily li fe. A diminu tion of taxation was often compensated consumption. There was a great question on which the Interested—she constituency seemed at present highly Though ho was question of civil and religious equality. a member of the Church of England, he held that th e members of every sect and creed ha d a right to every political privilege he enjoyed, whether they were Jews, Catholics, Dissenters, or Churchmeo. Every class of religionist contributed to the burdens of the . State ; an d what right had they to prevent one who fulfilled every function nobly and well of a magisterial kind from being admitted to the highest functions he could enj )3 , — namely, that of legislating for his fellow-subjects? H o was opposed to all State endowments. Taxes raised for secular purposes should be a pplied . to secular purp oses alone. It had been charged against him that he had been unf requen t i n hi s attendance in Papi ament, and had been absent from many division s. Whatever fault might he found with some of his votes in times past, he, as a friend of r e ligious liberty, and a s a R e f ormer in the ' Sincerest sense, ventured to say teat his. constituents should have no fault to find witty him in future. Ho begged the electors to take, not an isolated. vote h ere and faultless?—yet they would there, but to judge of a man's whole political career. If in presenting theycl faults —and find that ho had com mittedalso find that he bad not been actuated by selfish motives d d b r e p a s; d e d . the electors or personal feelings.—(Loud cheers.) am A i l d r in t i ld s e s r a m nt an ci C am m o d. u L r, m an th d e n wa s s with difficulty (nen ha his immediate vicinity. Lie said, EVENING, JULY 8, 1852. himself to the electorsasacandidate to represent the borough of Finsbury in Parliament, he was desirous of answering an objection that in ' so doing he was dividing the Liberal interest. Wh en first requested to become a candidate, he declined on the ground that there was no vacancy. His friends assured him that the onerous nature of Mr. Wakley's official engagements and the failure of his health would most likely prevent his be eaining a candidate all ea l ev tt e h u is t election; they stated that on a these ground s , s, if he did, he would not be ' signed returned. The r equ i s iti on , by between 4,000 and 5,000 e l ectors, appeared to remove any doubt on the subject. The course the election had taken seemed to leave the vacant seat eat to be contested between him and During Mr. Wyld.the canvass some placards had been i ssue d the which had given pain to the g en tl e men en gaged incontest. He begged to as su re them the Were placards printed without his knowledge and against his repeated by any f r i end()i desire that nothing might be done his that should make a political contest the occasion mostimportant of producing acrimony an d b a d feeling. Th e electors were called upon thi s d a y to dis charge the portant duty known to the constitu tion—a dutyimportant to themselves and to their coun try. It Was at elections the people learnt the secret of if their strength, and,the power acquired were rightly used, it could not world.fai fail to serve the cause of fr ee do m throughout the Tho government of a mighty nation like England, selected by a p o p u l ar constituency, must was a great fact, and of have an inluence upon every o ther. A declarationprinciples, embodying all the great questions of the day, carefully prepared by the grea t es t men in the country, was addr e s s ed to ever y on e elector; discussions very point took place in every United b oroug h and county i n the and thus the political education of peoplethe Kingdom;was pro gressing, and many an industrious mechanic was made familiar with the principles of government which a century ago were confined to the schools. On such occasions the liberty o f speechliberty and of the press was vindicated; the enemies o the sophistrie s and del usions of the were confronted, and the advo ca t es o f arbi trary power and monopoly were to exposed; but, above all, goo d g overnment was show':be the right of the people. It was of g re at importance questions the app eal sh ould not be that on all these made to force or faction, but to reason; for, stron g conv i c tions of those h© addressed, and as might be th e valuable as might be the truths involved therein, th e cede to their oppo nents the s ame liberty the y rea dil y con went as they claim ed for themselves. to form a ju d g - The man that created disorder at an election was an the man that by int imidation, or in any way, to liberty; 12 3' way, obstructed the free exercise of a freeman', vote, m mitted a crim e against the people; a nd such P e rsons should and exposed, as se eking to brin g popularelection i n t o be w a t c h e d contempt. In this wa y a free people choosing their h future Government , and determining upon princi ples it should be gui ded, was a sublim e t what s a spectacle, and by extending the p ower to vote as the boundaries of knowledge among t h e people were enlarged, they would see a nation progressing in everythin g that t him to Par uld molde them great and free. If the electors sen liament with those principles he should be perfectly free to exercise his own judgment, unpledged to any party, and opposed to an class leislation. By makin truth the basis of his decision, and the happiness of the people his object, he hoped to merit the approbation and secure the confidence of the electors of Finsbury. A show of hands was then taken, and the Returning Officer declared that it was in fav our of Mr. .Duncombe and Mr. Alderman C hallis. The show o f hands in favour of Mr. Duncombe appeared to be universal. A poll was then demanded on behalf of to-morrow (this day), polling was appo inted to take plac© day), commencing at eight A.m., a n d l c (ming at four P.M. The proceedings th en terminated.

Dr. CHALLICE proposed, and Mr. T. M ARTIN se conded the nomination of Sir W. Molesworth ; Mr. J. THWAITES proposed, and Dr. EvANs seconded Mr. Apsley Pellatt; and Mr. EL SINGTON Proposed, and Mr. PUTLEY seconded, Mr. G. Scovell as fit and proper per sonsognh i p n re P s a en rl t i i a n m g en h t i . toself; was to represent the boroug h Sir W. MOLESWORTH , greeted with unanimous plaudits. He said, he came before them to ask them to choose him to be one of their representatives. A similar request would be made by two very honourable and very estimable gen tlemen. He was very sorry they could not return all three; but as by the constitution of the country they could only gratify the wishes of two of them, they could only decide between their conflicting claims by rejecting one. Now, he was happy to think that ho lead claims to submit hich must be regarded as superior t o t h ose of his opponents.—(Cheers.) Not only had a Member duties to perform to his constituency, but ho contended that constituents were also under obligations to their representatives if they did their duty. In order to persuade them that he deserved the reward of con fidence at their hands, he would very brit fie remind them what were the promises which, in 1843 and 1847, ho had made, and it would be for them to determine whether he had carried out what he had professed.—(Cheers.) Ho had spoken and voted in fa vour of all measures which had had for their object the freedom of trade and the removal of all restrictions upon commerce.—(Cheers,) He had voted for the abo lition of the navigation-laws, and for the reduction and equalisation of the duties on sugar. Ho was in favour also of direct taxation, and be thought that there should be a gradual reduction of all those taxes which press heavily on the industry of the country. He had there fore supported the income-tax, and generally the finan cial policy of the late Government, which, in many respects, was identical with that of the late Sir Robert Peel.—(Cheers.) He had always advocated economy in every branch of the public service, and having been a member of the Committee which had sat for a long time on that subject, he had endeavoured to give a practical effect to his opinions.—(ilear, hear.) National education he regarded as a matter of primary importance. It formed one of the most sacred and solemn duties of society, and by properly discharging it the State best consulted both the moral and material interests of its subjects. He had, there fore, supported grants for education, and for its exten sion to all religious sects equally. He had also sup ported the repeal of all taxes upon knowledge. — (Cheers.) He adopted the broad principle that all men, to whatever sect or creed they might belong, were en titled to equal rights and privileges under the law, and in carrying out thi s p r i nc i p l e h e h a d b oth spoken' and voted for the admission of Jews into Parliament. He was an advocate for the extension of the suffrage in boroughs to the extent proposed by Mr. flume, and in counties to that proposed by Mr. Locke King. He was in favour of the ballot to protect the voter, and of the abolition of the property qualification, in order that his choice might be unfettered and unrestricted.—(Cheers.) To the foreign policy of the country he had devoted a considerable share of attention; and he had constantly and perseveringly advocated a complete reform in the system of colonial government, in order to strengthen and render permanent the connexion between the colo nies and the mother country, and to reduce the expen diture on their account, which at this time amounted to about 4,000,0001. per annum. (Loud cheers.) Permit him to tell them that the election of a represen tative in Parliament was at all times a grave and serious duty. At the present moment it was particularly a grave and serious one, because everywhere in Europe, except in this favoured country, free institutions had been suppressed, despotism was in the ascendant, and liberty dwelt among us alone. We were not justified, indeed, in forcing our institutions upon other countries; but it was our solemn and bounden duty, as natives of this free country, to set a good example to the rest of Europe—to show how excellent the institutions of this country were, how precious our liberty was, how it con duced to good government, and how it tended towards the steady progress of civilization and the permanent benefit of mankind.—(Loud cheers.) They should bear in mind that in giving their votes they were responsible for their choice to their fellow-men, and that they formed no mean item, and were playing no subordinate part, in support of that constitution which had survived every political storm, and which justly continued to be the wonder and admiration of the surrounding nations. Mr. AFSLEY PELLA.TT next presented himself, and was received with the utmost fervour and enthusiasm. Having enumerated his leading political principles, he ob served that he had been most anxious in dthe limited sphere to which his exertions had hitherto been re stricted to prove himself a patriot and a philanthropist, and he was now seeking that more extended sphere of usefulness which as their representative and th_e . expo neat of their feelings any man must occupy.—(Cheers.) The present system of prison discipline he regarded as most defective, and he inclined to the adoption of the plan recommended by Mr. C. Pearson and the Rev. Sydney Turner.—(Hear.) He was for the entire abolition of ecclesiastical and canon law—remnants of a dark and bad age, fit only for the owls and bats of iniquity, H e was opinion that happiness would be confered more es pecially upon the working and middle classes if the con nexion between Church and State were severed, and the Church was left to the purity of the Scriptures, the holiness of her doctrines, the activity of her members, the kind providence of an all-seeing and omnipotent Deity,—(Cheers.) He was anxious that the working classes and the new names upon the register should have some voice in the great Senate of the country, and upon the principles which he had so often enunciated, and with which they must be all familiar, he sought with confidence the approbation and support of his brother electors of the borough of Southwark.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. ScOVELL was also received with much applause.- He said that in the course of his various addresses to the electors he had been asked why he came forward to divide the Liberal interest. The best mode, probably, of replying to such a quest i on was, to state that, al though other candidates had had the advantage of a canvass of no less than four w e ks before the retiremen of Alderman Humphery, there were found in th bo rough from 1, 4 00 to 1,500 gentlemen who in a few hours hour signed a requisition to him to come forward a s candi date for the representation of their i nteres ts.—Che er s.) He thought he had a right to take that as a ear testi monial that he at least was not an unfit person to repre sent them in the Legislature, and be also mt h eenevr gh er t e the inference arose that those numerous not perfectly satisfied with the political si g se e n c t t i c asent . s of both those Liberal candidates who had preceded cveleodhrh,)l7 tln he s canvass.—(Cheers, and cries of , opinion the true Reformer was he who aimed only a t that which was attainable, and who sought t o bring within the reach of the people the greatest jUntslula ries b° of unsubstantial e e d d e s q h u ad al o ly w exaggerated evils, and p good, and not he who adrvnannca p and unattainable modes of redress.—(Ch eers. ) H e would, therefore, state candidly that he was not for universal or manhood suffrage, nor for annual Parlia ments—(Cheers and hisses)—but he would tell them presently the extent to which he would go as regarded those points. He was for Mr. Hump's motion as re spected the borough, and for Mr. Locke King's as re garded the county franchise ; but supposing that such an extension of the suffrage were conceded, as ho had no doubt it would be, it next became a question how to secure its fair exercise, and for that purpose he was de cidedly in favour of vote by ballot.—(Loud . cheers.) Then, having vo t e d f or t h e i r representative, they must next consider how long he was to be trusted on the promises which he h a d ma d e , b e f ore ag ain coming be fore them to give an account of the fulfilment of those promises. Atter f u ll cons id erat i on upon t hi s point, he was decidedly in favour of triennial Parliaments, be- cause he conceived that no one could object to come be fore his constituents once in three years.—(Loud cheers.) He deemed it almost unnecessary to state the other principles which he most ho nestly professed, because, with thee objects at tained, that retrenchment would follow which any reasonable man could wish or expect.—(Cheers.) He was strenuously opposed to the income-tax—at least under the present regulations, because ho believed it to be, as at present levied, unjust and inquisitorial. But ho would unhesitatingly vote for a co n ti nuance o f t h e property-tax, because he believed that the best mode of securing property was to make it bear ite due proportion of the burdens of the State, by which course means might be afforded for a reduction of that taxation which bore more heavily upon the poorer classes.—(Cheers.) He was also favourable to a revision of the present sys tem of levying Customs' duties, and he would vote for the gradual abolition of all Excise duties. He was for the abolition of all taxes which pressed upon the dis semination of knowledge; but he would begin by abolishing the duty on paper, because he believed that to be the great barrier in the way of that spreading of knowledge which he should wish to see more universal than it wan—(Cheers.) With re ference to poor-rates, which he knew was an interesting question to some of them, he was most anxious that they should fall as lightly as proper vigilance could make them; and he hoped to live to see the day when church-rates would be entirely abolished.—(Cheers.) He said this in no hostile spirit to the Established Church, of which he was a sincere member, but because he believed it to be the best safeguard of that union of Church and State, for the severance of which he was not prepared to record his vote. He was beyond all doubt opposed to any restrictions which forbade a man, on ac count of his religion, from holding any office in the State; and he should, therefore, be prepared to sup port any measure which favoured the admission of Jews into Parliament. He was likewise opposed to all endowments for any religion whatever, and he should certainly vote against any future endowments for such purposes; but he was not prepared to disturb the grant to Aleynooth, because ho considered it de facto an educational gran t, an d not strictly a grant for ir religious oo unn p eii ss.o .—(Cheers.) purposes.—(Ch eers .)

TIVERTON, WEDNESDAY NIGHT.—The election of two Members to serve in Parliament for this borough took place to-day. The representatives of the town in the late Parliament were Mr. Heathcoat and Lord Palmer ston. Mr. Heathcoat, who is just recovering from se vere indisposition, was unable to canvass the electors personally, or attend to the nomination, where he was represented by his grandson, Mr. Heathcoat Amory. For some days past a contest had been vaguely threatened, handbills having been issued requesting the electors not to promise their votes, as a gentleman of " independent principles would present himself to the constituency at the hustings. It was rumoured that the gentleman who was expected to contest the representation was Captain Stirling, but no " third man" made his appearance to day. The Chartists, who at the last general election brought down their well-known lecturer Mr. Julian Harney as the opponent of Lord Palmerston, offered no opposition to the re-election of the late Members, owing, it is said, to their having at the last election been forced to a poll, and having consequently been saddled with a portion of the expenses of the hustings and polling-booths, which the leading representatives of the party very reluctantly discharged. The proceedings commenced at 10 o'clock this morning, when Lord Pal merston, accompanied by his own committee and that of Mr. Heathcoat ' proceeded to th e T own -h a ll, w h e r e th e reading of the Bribery Act and the other formal pro ceedings were gone through. An adjournment then took place to the hustings, which had been erected, ac cording to custom, opposite th,, fine old church. ThollAroa (Mr. John S. How), es returning officer, having bespoken a fair hearing for all persons who might address the meeting, Mr. W. H. Gone-EN proposed Mr. John Heatheoat as a fit and proper person to become their representative, brkfly alluding to the long residence of that gentleman in the borough, the benefits he had conferred upon its inhabitants, and the faithful services he had rendered them for 20 years as their representative in Parliamcnt. Lie also expressed his regret that Mr. Heathceat's health was not yet sufficiently restored to enable him to appear before them. Mr. PARKELOTISE seconded the nomination. Mr. W. HonE said, before be nominated a candidate, he wished to ask them it any of them could tell him what had become of Captain Stirling?—(Cheers and laughter.) He had been told the Gallant Captain h a d b een mast headed—(A laugh)— but ho did not know whether that was the case or not. Mr. Hole nominated Henry John at Temple, Viscount Palmerston, a fter referring to the dis tinguished position held by the Noble Lord in political life, to his long connexion—now of 15 years' duration— with the borough, and to his firm adherence to Liberal principles. The nomination of Lord Palmerston having been se conded by Mr. JERYIs, The MAYOR inquired whether any other person had any candidate to propose, an d, as no answer was gi ven, he at once declared Mr. John Heathcoat a nd Lord P al - merston duly elected to represent the borough. The announcement was received with load Mr. H. AMORY briefly returned t hanks on behalf o f l, cheering. his grandfather, stating that he bad been most anxio us to present himself before m from doing so by the advicetoefis friends. Of M r . them, had ref ra i ne d Heathcoat's political: principlesh They it was almo s t un necessary for him to speak. coat, and he had so long been their representative in Parliament that they must b© thoroughl y acquainted with his political o pinions. He was n ot , as they well knew, in favour of rash or impracticable re forms, but was anxious to promote such moderate re forms as the spirit of the times demanded.—(Cheers.) As their representative in Parliament, Air. Heathcoat bad given a steady and unflinching support to all mea sures which ho thought for the benefit of the country, and he had always shown his desire to promote the in terests and welfare of his fellow-townsmen.—(Cheers.) It would be Mr. Heathcoat's pride to devote his best energies to their service, and all he (Mr. Amory) would add on his grandfath er ' s b e half was th at he would at tend to his duties in Parliament for the future as he had done hitherto.—(Loud cheers.) Lord PALMERsToN then came forward and was greeted with three hearty cheers. H e ' --1 -° said,—Gentle men, I beg to return to you, f rom the bottom of my heart, my most sincere thanks for the honour which you have now for the fifth time conferred upon me by elect ing m e as one of your representatives in Parliament. It must, be at nnY time, and under any circum stances, highly gratifyin g t o any man, who has that honest ambition which every Englishman ought to feel, to be chosen as one of the representa tives of so honourable and independent a population as that of this borough—(Cheers) —but still more gratify ing must it be when that honour is conferred, not for the fi rs t, nor for the second, nor for the third, nor even f o r the fourth time.—(Ch eers.) When such an honour is conferred on so many successive occasions it is a proof that the public conduct of the man of your choice has answered the expectations which you formed.—(Cheers.) I can only assure you that it will be my most anxious study that my future conduct may correspond with my past ; and I trust it will equally deserve and obtain the. approbation of my constituents.—(Hear and cheers.) ! am somewhat sorry that you should be detained under__ a burning sun on this hottest of hot days ; ever hot the day is, and however aub sp ii i r c b e i u o a u t s s u se u in i"t ! fineness for the purpose for which y bled, I am gratified to think that the reception we now I have met with is as warm as the w eather ive were told °ueption which experience.—(Laughter and when we came to this but also a hot con- I place thaethweeersstioald not only have hot weather and a warm recedpctihoene%ing 0 - We were told test.—(Renewed laughter in an h a ndbills circulated through in mysterious language,candidate would appear unknown out the town, that an, Idependent principles."

I are glad, , gentle for the sake of the constituency of Tiverton, that such went a ! m an has not been fo un d . I will not do the gen tlemen w ho circulated th e h andbill to which I refer— the ge ntlemen who went about canvassing the electors for a n dark horn," f or an unknown man whose name they had promised not to reveal until votes had been promised blindtold—l will not do them the injustice to suppose that :this announced contest, and this myste rious candidate were, from beginning to end, nothing but a hoax.--(Hear, hear, and laughter.) I will not suppose that those individuals were repeating the mis placed, and I may, perhaps, say vulgar joke, which has sometimes been made, with some malignity and envy, by the inhabitants of the eastern part of this island, who have said that the further westward they went the more convinced they were that the wise men came from the east.—(Laughter.) I cannot believe that any men of Tiverton would have offered such an insult to their fellow-townsmen. I am, therefore, compelled to think that a small portion of the electors of this borough, anxious that a contest should take place for the sake of the fun (for they could not have anticipated success), 1 having beat the land, and h av i ng searched the sea— -1 (Laughter) — having ransacked houses and dived into the holds of yachts—(A laugh)—having even gone, as was hinted, to the very masthead—(Renewed laughter) • —have yet been unable to find any man who would kindly devote himself to the amusement of a small por tion of the inhabitants.—(Cheers.) There ii, gentlemen, one matter only which mingles feelings of regret with the satisfaction and enjoyment which I should otherwise experience on the present occasion. I allude to the ab sence of my worthy, most esteemed, and most respected colleague—(Hear, hear)—but I am sure you, who, as his fellow-townsmen, know well, by long experience, all the public and private qualities and virtues which adorn Ihim, and who would deeply regret to be deprived of his services in Parliament, mu s t f ee l g l a d t h at under his temporary indisposition he has not re t ar d e d hi s reco ery—which I trust may be early an d comp l ete —b y ex posing hi mse lf to the heat and bustle consequent on this occasion. —(H ear, hear.) It mostw ou would distinguished bec e m e t m o w e n to tell y ou o f the merits of your . man. What he has done in his private capacity for the people of this borough you know well, and better than I can tell you; but this, at least, I may be allowed to say—that there is no Member of the House of Com mons who is more esteemed and respected than your representative, Mr. fleathcoat.—(Cheers.) And for !myself I would say, that if I wanted a sound and just opinion upon any matter whatever, whether of a public 'or a private nature, should it turn upon judg ment or upon feeling, th ere i s no man whose opinion would more guide my conduct than the opinion of Mr. Heathcoat.—(Cheer s .) We have been told that the general election in which this country is now engaged is to determine finally and for ever one great question—l mean the question of protection or no protection.—(Cheers.) It is my humble opinion that that question h as b een long since settled.—(Hear,hear.) I t oo k t h e lib erty of telling you last autumn, when I had. the pleasure of being he re , th a t w h en you saw the river Exe running up from the sea to Tiverton, instead of running down :trona Tiverton to the sea, you might then, and not till then, consider certainly that the revival of protection was near at hand.—(Laughter and cheers.) I see no change in the current of the Exe. I don't even see that in the construction of your bridges you have taken any precautions to secure them against a turn of the stream. —(Hear, hear.) What, gentlemen, after all, is this great question which is called protection? Why, pro tection is a single word, which represents a not very complex idea. Protection is a term something like that of " independent principles," to which I before referred —(A laugh)—but protection, stripped of its generality, means practically taxing the food of the many for the sake of the interests of the few.—(Loud cheers.) I have that notion of the judgment, the good sense, and the good feeling of the people of England—(and I do not use the expression " the people of England" in the narrow and restricted sense in which it is sometimes employed, as denoting only one class of the nation, but as including the whole nation, from the highest to the lowest)—l have that notion of the good sense and the good feeling of the British nation, that I am convinced they never will consent to revert to a system which is founded upon injustice and mistake.—(Cheers.) If you wished to know what has been accomplished by the liberal commercial measures which have marked for some years past the course of legislation, I should give you an answer similar to that inscribed upon the tablet which records the burialplace of the great architect who built the magnificent cathedral of St. Paul's. You know very well that it is usual to adorn the place of sepulture of eminent persons with marble statues, or groups repre senting different ideas connected with them. The burial place of the architect of St. Paul's has no such orna ments. You find a simple inscription of his name, and it is added, " If you seek for his monument, look around you"—look around at that magnificent structure which bears witness to the skill he had attained in his pro fession. Well, gentlemen, if I am asked what is the b m e e e r n it fo o r f m t e h d os i e nt c o laommwes:cl answer, measuresal "Look around whichhoauvnd you." e of late Look around you, beginning with the prosperity of the princely m erc h ant in his counting-house, and descending to the humble peasant reposing in his cottage. Ask the mother who carries her babe in; her arms; ask the father whose children are clinging around him; ask them what has been the benefit of the commercial relaxations of late years. They will tell you the benefit is felt both physically and morally, and they will entreat you not to revert to a system which would deprive them of the enjoyments with which they have been blessed._ (Cheers.) We are, nevertheless, told that there is one class which, amid this general prosperity, has suffered in some degree—namely, the owners and occupiers of If I am asked what is the real protection for them, I say their protection lies mainly in the happiness and con tentment of the rest of their fellow-countrymen. — (Cheers.) Is that a vain assertion?—(Cries of " No!") Why, look what happened only three or four years ago. In 1848, when all Europe was convulsed, when thrones were overturned, when constitutions, ancient and mo dern, were alike levelled in the dust, what was the ex ample shown by this great country. There were a few men who, unjustly and unwisely dissatisfied with the condition of this country, wished for a violent change; but the moment that change was threatened you saw every man in the great city of London, from the highest peer down to the humblest labourer, mingling in honour able fellowship, and stepping forward to defend the laws and institutions of their country, in an array so formidable that it prevented even the slight est manifestation of disorder. Now, I believe that could not have happened if the people of this country , had not felt that the course of legislation had been di rected towards the general good.—(Hear, hoar.) I say, then, that Protection is gone, and I trust and hope that the result of this general election will be to give the final seal and sanction of the country to the doom of that mis taken and bygone principle.—(Cheers.) It is perfectly , true, es was stated by my proposer, that in the early pe riod of the discussion there were many—and I was one of them—who thought that, in order to make the transition less rapid and less injurious to men who were not easily to be convinced, a small fixed duty might be the best measure to begin with, and that that arrangement might have lasted for some considerable time. My belief is that suah a small duty would not have raised in any per ceptible degree the price of food, and it might, to a cer tain extent, have consulted the feelings of the agricul tural class.—(Cheers.) But that suggestion was rejected by those in whose favour it was proposed, and the boon, once refused, you may depend upon it will never again be submitted to their choice.—(Cheers.) Now, gentle men, I say that the course of Government has, for a con siderable period of time, been directed by the principle of steady and progressive improvement. Those per sons and those parties who wish to improve the institu tions of a great country like this are bound to go slowly and deliberately, and they are sure to meet with great resistance at every step which they take. I, for one, do not complain of that resistance. It belongs to the cha racter of the country, and it has this advantage, that it prevents sudden and ill-considered alterations, and that measures proposed as improvements receive that due consideration and discussion which renders them ulti mately better adapted to the condition of the people to whom they apply.—(Hear, hear.) A love and affection for ancient practices and institutions is an honourable and peculiar characteriltic of the people of this country —(Cheers)—and I am the last to wish that that ho nourable and useful sentiment should ever be discarded from their minds. There are some of the nations of the continent who are more volatile and more apt to change —and national character is often evinced by circumstances apparently trifling in themselves. Now, in many parts of the continent if an innkeeper wishes ,ne to recommend hi s i nn , h e h a ngs up a sign of New Whit e H orse ," or " Th o N e w Golden cress. The t last novelty i s th a t w hi c h is considered the most a - d t tive.

There is , . at a place called Hanwell, not far from London, an inn to which gentle men who were fond of pigeon-shootingused to resort to anybody Itis practise ,,T h th e e o ir l s d k i i i llWelt, what is the sign of that inn? r an old hat to a new one, b u t it was expected that gentlemen would come to " Th e Old to " The New Hats."—(Ren ewe d laughter.)

I or are about to although upon two of them especially I may find that my opinions do not coincide with those of others whom I highly respect. The first topic is the Militia Bill. (Some hisses, met by cheers.) You see I take the bull by the horns.—(Laughter and cheers.) I suppose that no man in this country, except the few who think in agreement with the author of a pamphlet which I felt it my duty to mention in the House of Commons, and who, good man, recommended that we should quietly submit to be invaded and conquered, in the hope that the con queror would be so astonished at our submission that ho would grow ashamed of himself, and would go avail after having taken some 50,000,0004 of our mono' s — (Laughter and cheers.) I presume, with this excel : poi?, that there is no man who has an English heart in his bosom who does not feel that England is worth defend ing, and that he ought to make any sacrifice rather than allow his country to be conquered.—(Cheers . ) Why, I may say, gentlemen, that this country is the heart of civil and political liberty, and that the conquest of this country would not only be one of the greatest calamities to the country itself, but would eh e a misfcrtune to the whole of the civilized world.—(Hear, hear.) A poet, Campbell, who died not long ego, says—in lines de scribing the fate of Poland—that " Hope fora season bade the world farewell, " And freedom shrieked when Kosciwko fell:" But hcpe would indeed for ever bid adieu to the world, and freedom would die and not shriek, if England were to be c onquered.—(Cheers.)
