A Vienna correspondent of the Augsburg Gazette, who attends principally to military matters, fully confirms the information already forwarded that Art. 5 of the treaty of December had taken the dimensions of a military convention. He asserts that it is already prepared for signature, and is inclined to believe that General Count Crenneville took a copy of it to Paris a few days ago. The story of France having undertaken to place an army on the Russo-Polish frontier, if Prussiashould persist in refusing to do so, is again told, and its route, through Sardinia, and Lombardy, is mentioned. The order of the Emperor of Austria that all his armies should be on a complete war footing by the end of January has been punctually obeyed. On the 31st all the re serve troops ha d b een ca ll e d i n , and new fusilier compan i es ra i sed i ns t ea d o f th ose which had been t a k en t o f orm the G rena di er bat talions. Thus e ac h reg i ment of t h e li ne , w hi c l a before was 4,600 s t rong, i s now composed of 8,000. Soma corresp on d en t s appear a s if it was " against their gra i n " to leave an agreea bl e im pression, and thi s appears to be my case, f or you must now be informed that Austria, even under the most favourable circumstances, will hardly be able to take the field before the month of April, as Galicia is in such a state in the month of March that military operations are almost impossible. For want of forage the greater part of the cavalry has been removed from Galicia to Hungary, and the prices of all the necessaries of life are so enormously high that the inhabitants of the province are re duced to the greatest distress. It is related that the Emperor, in an autograph letter, has desired Baron Kubeck, the President of the Reichsratb, to send in his report as soon as possible on the draft of the laws relative to provincial representation which has been made by the Cabinet. THE COFFEE TRADE. (From the Times of this day.) The great mystery of the unroasted coffee supplied to our troops in the Crimea is explained in a letter which we publish this day. It may be remembered that the distribution of unroasted coffee to our poor soldiers was announced in the letter of our special correspondent in the Crimea. Thereupon a commercial firm in the city, actuated, we believe, by none but the most honourable motives, made an offer to the Government to remedy the defect by supplying the troops with the berry pro perly roasted at cost price. Their application was met, after a due period of official delay, by an intimation that " My Lords were not aware that coffee in an unroasted condition was supplied to the troops, and that such an occurrence was impossible, inasmuch as there were large . establishments for roasting coffee in the various depart ments," &c. This reason, however satisfactory it might appear to the Luthortties at home, seems not to have convinced the soldieri before Sebastopol that the green coffee berries which were distributed for their eN u o s oi e uwe lv ff e r r i:, ) y rnv,l. at. rhte three —le at i , r e o f o o f t l i ol r auir d a ay p s cec er t ri correspondentactuallyt t,oNd. ,a t roas ted. fend Lord Raglan, it appears that we have the benefit of the General's testimony in our favour as to the fact. Lord Raglan knew that ti , e coffee berries were unroasted, and took official notice of it. Our correspondent writes —" Has Lord Raglan, by neglect, even by silence, con nived at such folly ?" The answer follows :—" Early in October, by Lord Raglan's desire, Mr. Felder, the head of the Commissariat, wrote to the home authorities, complaining of the practice, and pointing out its injurious tendency. Up to the 20th' of January no answer to the remonstrance had been received, nor had any rcasted coffee arrived in the Crimea." Thus, then, we have ad ♦anced one step in the solution of this question. The Commander-in-Chief is scot to blame ; the Cominissary- General, too, would doubtless wish to wash his hands of all responsibility, and would triumphantly point to his letter, should his share in the transaction be called in question. It is somebody at home, not somebody in the Crimea, who is to blame. Now, who is this somebOdy I There is somebody at home who can give us information as to the whereabouts of this other somebody who has been guilty of so flagrant a breach of duty. We trust the public will not let the matter rest until it is properly cleared up, and the guilty person dealt with according to his deserts. We do not quarrel with those who &bur us for the course we have adopted in exposing the mis management of the Crimean army ; let them abuse the Times to their hearts' content, but let them not throw difficulties in the way when we are endeavouring to find out the source of an acknowledged neglect. Lord Rag lan and Mr. Commissary Filder are upon our side at least this time. Up to the 20th of January, be it re membered, no answer to their remonstrance had arrived nor had any roasted coffee been received in the Crimea. But, when our correspondent "N. M." gravely fol lows up this valuable information with the question " Could Lord Raglan have done any more ?"—we almost suspect that he is indulging in dry jocularity either at his or our expense. Astonishing as such an effort may appear, we cannot but think that Lord Raglan might have done one thing more—namely, have issued an order, which it would have taken him but two minutes to write, or perhaps five seconds to sign, directing the Commissary to have the coffee roasted forthwith. Surely there were a few idle Turks about the camp who could roast coffee, if they could do nothing else. Surely the bulk of the coffee might even have been transmitted to Constantinople and brought back again in a condition fit for human use. It was as rational to distribute to the soldiers unroasted coffee as it was in Mr. Bumble to " relieve " his dying pauper with five shillings' worth of Dutch cheese. The following is the letter referred to above : Sir,—General accusations are difficult to meet. It is easier to say that Lord Raglan has done his duty badly than to prove that he has done it well. But your paper of to-day refers to a distinct and specific charge. Who is responsible for the unroasted coffee ? Has Lord Rag lan, by neglect—even by silence—connived at such folly ? Early in October, and by Lord Raglan's desire, Mr. Elder, the head of the Commissariat, wrote to the home authorities complaining of the practice, and point ing out its injurious tendency. Up to the 20th of Jan. no answer to the remonstrance had been received, nor had any roasted coffee arrived in the Crimea. Could Lord Raglan have done more ? Is it wholly improbable that, iu examining other specified and definite charges, we shall find as striking remains of the "ancient good ness" of the man as your columns have told of the " ancient courage" of the soldier ? Yours, &c., N. M. Feb. D. MARKET NEWS-(THIS' DA Y.) COVENT GARDEN. About an average business was transacted hero to-day, as follows : LORD DERBY'S STATEMENT. (From the Morning Herahl.)

Minute in its details, frank and dignified in its tone and spirit, masterly in its review of the entire po sition of affairs, it exhibits, above all, an exalted pa triotism and loyalty, and an unswerving fidelity to the great party acknowledging him as its head. Before ad verting to one or two signal disclosures in the address, let us say, with perfect sincerity, that he has removed every doubt which bad haunted .us as to the prudence of declining to form an administration when lately hon oured with her Majesty's commands to do so. As we value frankness above almost all things, wo have ac knowledged that such doubts b a d haunted us ; but they are totally dispelled by Thus-3day night's statement— one which a thousand-fold enhances that distinguished nobleman's claim to the support cf the Conservative party, and to the cenfideece of the country at large, ir respective of party ; while his pr.feund consideration for the true iii';creets of the Queen cannot but be appre ciated by that Royal La ly. This explanation places the Earl of Derby in a vivid contrast to every statesman or politician of the present day, except Lord Lansdowne ; whom, much as we dif fer from him on certain points, we believe to base a% heart the best interests of the public service. Nay, we believe that had Lord Derby succeeded in fcrening Administration, it 'would have had no cold or reluctant support from the noble marquis. Throughout Lord Derby's explanation shines clear and steady the proud spirit of disdaining - to be a Minis ter on sufferauce—a position, not only personally de grading, but attended with absolute peril to the public interests, as he proved on that occasion with inimitable felicity and force. No one could hear him, nor can read his speech, without feeling that he would have been the fitting head of a great War Ministry, that he perfectly knew the necessity of a strong presiding will and steady Parliamentary support, as well as of resolute, able, and united colleagues. How- would the deliberations of Ins Cabinet have been strengthened by a knowledge of the unflinching support they could have obtained in the House of Commons ; how palsied by the apprehen sion that he might fail in obtaining such support, and must tack, and trim, and pare down, and accommodate his measures so as to conciliate a capricious majority in the Lower House ! This is the contrast between his position and that of his rivals, if such a word be ad missible on such an occasion ; what he disdains they coert ; and the disastrous consequences have been visible ever since the resuscitated coalition came originally into office.

( From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, Feb. O.—The departments of our mar , ket which are suffering least from the present course o depression are mule yarns adapted to the India brad• which are taken with a concession of d. per lb. ; certain counts of doubled yarns ; and such coarse cloths, and low and hard-twisted yarns, to go to the Mediterranean, which are yet too much under contract to betray in any but a very slight degree, that a falling off in the demand has actually taken place. Beyond these, there are no noticeable exceptions to a state of dullness in yarns and goods, which has at length become so great, as to create a feeling of deep anxiety among producers, leading many of them seriously to contemplate a curtailment of their production. The spinners of fine yarns, whose business has long been a losing one, will meet tomorrow for the purpose of considering a proposal to limit the hours of labour in their establishments. The makers of India goods and ♦arious other fabrics are strongly advised by the agency houses with which they are connec ted to adopt a measure which seems to be the only means of preventing such an accumulation of stock as must shortly tie up their hands most completely ; and we hear of two mills at Preston, in which the work people have received the notice usually given prior to such a restriction. The producer will find an additional motive to this course in the fact that the raw material remains firm in price, while the finished article is every week involvirg him in a greater loss. GLASGOW, Feb. 9.—Thera is no change to report in our cotton market. The same quietness which has prevailed for two or three weeks still continues, and prices are getting lower. BllillFo B.—Wool—There is no alteration either as regards demand or price of combing wool, and the sales were very liraited.—Yarns---There is no material change in the demand for yarns, which is stea dily on the increase, and prices firm.—Pieces --The manufacturers complain loudly of their profitless busi ness, for goods are sold at such prices that must entail a continued loss, and there is no disposition to increase the present limited production.—Brad ford Observer. LEICESTER, Feb. B.—Complaints of the flatness of trade are becoming more general ; scarcely anything is selling in any branch, except for Government orders, There is no alteration in the price of either yarns or wool - to report.—Leicester Journa?. THE PIEDMONT PARLIAMENT. The discussion on the treaty of alliance of Pied mont with the Western Powers was continued in the Chamber of Deputies at Turin on the sth. The following is a brief summary of the proceed ings : Some members having complained that Ministers bad not laid the documents relating to the treaty before the Chamber, Count Cavour explained that he considered such a course prejudicial to the public interest. M. Valerio moved that the protocol to Jan. 10 might be delivered to the President of the Chamber that he might show it privately to any member who might wish to read it. _ This motion was agreed to by the Chamber. Count Solaro della Margherita, a member of the Right, who, in a previous sitting, had declared that he was still undecided whether he was to vote for er against the treaty, then rose, and said that as so impor tant a resolution as that of entering into a league with the Western Powers against Russia could not have been taken by the Cabinet without very weighty reasons, he would not hesitate to vote, even though those reasons were not previously communicated to him. M. Biancheri, on the contrary, declared, that as the policy of Piedmont had been, since 1848, founded on the principle of Italian nationality, and as the treaty ap peared to him a deviation, if not a desertion, from that principle, he would oppose it. M. Gallenga maintained that the blood of the bravo Piedniontese army was too precious to be thrown away in the Crimea. Count Revel (of the Extreme Right) declared he would veto for tho treaty, though he thought it onerous in a financial point of view. The discussion was then adjourned to the following day. THE MONASTERY OF ST. G BORGB. The Moniteur publishes a letter from the Crimea, dated 27th ult., containing some interesting particulars relative to the monastery of St. Ge7ge, a religious esta blishment, held in great veneration throughout the country. It was founded in the 10th century, and ori ginally served as an aboie to a few Greek monks, who refused to join in the heresy of Photius, and placed it under the protection of St. George.. The monastery is situated on the highest point of the coast of Chersonesus, 360 feet above the level of the' sea, and has been in habited, since 1829, by Russian monks, who supply with chaplains the fleet at Sebastopol. When the Al lied armies took possession of the positions they now occupy, General Canrobert, who has made himself f very popular in the country by the manner in which he maintains religious liberty and protects private property, confided the care of the monastery to a corps of Zeuaves, and issued the following order of the day : " Tho Convont of St. George is placed under the protec tion of the Alliod armies. Military men and other persons following the armies are forbidden to entrr it by force, or to disturb in any way the security of tho inhabitants, or violate the rights of property. "At the Camp of Chersonosus, Oct. 2, 851." - • • • That order hai been atrictly- obeyed by the two armies. The monks who usually inhabit the convent are 50 in number ; at present only 17 remain, the others being engaged with the duties of their mini s try at S e b a stop o l. The Superior, who is invest e d w ith th e di gn ity o f A relit mandrite, is Father Guerondi, a man of respectable ap pearance, about 48 years of age. He is tail and wears a long grey beard. His costume consists of a black robe, a black round hat without brims, to the back of which is adapted a black veil falling on his shoulders. A gold cross, placed on his breast, is the only sign that distiu guishes him from the other monks. The convent is with in the direct jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Odessa. Father Guerondi understands his position, and expresses the greatest gratitude for the conduct of the army to wards him. On ordinary days the monks have only two church services, the one at nine o'clock in the morning and the other at three p.m. They officiate in the Scla vonian language, which was sub s ti tuted 25 years ago by the Emperor Nicholas, for the Greek language. Their singing is grave, and not wanting in originality. They enjoy a great reputation of piety in the Crimea, and their appearance is very fair. Several among them, who were married, declare that they do not re gret the pleasures and joys of th e wor l d. W i th the ex ception of the Archimandrite, they are all devoid of instruction, and know very little even of their religion. When they aro on board the Russian ships they aro subjected to the mo . st rigorox!ii military discipline, being obliged every mornin . g to wait on the Commander and take his orders. It is he who regulates the labours of the day, and tells them the poi n t s they are to treat in their sermons and religious instructions to the seamen and marines. An officer assists at those exercises to ascertain if the orders of th e C ommander have been obeyed. That situation completely destroys the inde pendence of their sacred character, and renders them mere political tools in the haads of the Russian Government. MINING INTELLIGENCE.

LEEDS, Feb. 9. —During the Ministerial interregnum there has been a stagnation in trade ; but as the dia. culties in forming a good a dministration have now been overcome, we hope to see more confidence and consi derable improvement in the state of trade. The mar kets, both on Saturday and on Tuesday, were very flat, and only a slender business was done. The trade in the warehouses has also been exceedin g l y quiet du r i ng the week. • HUDDERSFIELD, Feb. 6.—The market to-day was net considered to be worse than our notice for a few weeks past, but perhaps rather better. More business was done in the Cloth hall, though we understand that in part it consisted of job lots ; in other cases parties were reluctant to sell for prices which will not replace their goods.

That he will be ere long at the helm of affairs we en tertain no doubt whatever ; and then will be seen how solid is the basis which ho has laid for Conservative ascendancy in the councils of his country. We see him confidently biding his time, resolved not to assume till he can retain the reins of power. It will by-and-bye be ap parent to even those now politically opposed to him that his clear-sightedness and decision on the late occasion, while attesting his political sagacity, have satisfied his country of his patriotism, and his Queen of his wisdom and devotion to her service. He proves to demonstration that in the present state of the House of Commons his Government would have been every moment at the ' mercy of a capricious and treacherous combination of opponents, ready for such combination for one purpose only—to oust him front power, as experience had but too lately shown him. We cannot see what he could do beyond what he did, under such circumstances, to make au honourable advance to that one of the late Ministry, Lord Palmerston, who seemed to Lim, as it were by common consent, exempt from the fierce censures passed on his companions. How that advance was met we now know. But this brings us to the disclosures of the explanation ; some portions of which will delight, and others disgust the country. It now appears that the Earl of Derby would have had for his right-hand man him in whom the whole country would have welcomed as the ♦ery plan for the crisis—the E:trl of Ellenborough, whose indomitable re solution, powerful intellect, admirable eloquence, and, above all, splendid qualification for military administra tion, would in an instant have re-assured the fainting heart of the country—who would have been a host in himself, but who would have fallen before the first blast of faction from t►'e House of Commons, at the bidding of an opposition specially coalesced for the occasion ! New we are very curious to know whether tiiie Earl of Derby tlld Viscount Palmerston that the Earl of Ellenborough bad consented to be War Minister in the new Cabinet of which the Earl of Derby was to be the head ? Probably he did ; and if so, all is explained. The ambitious ♦iscount took the alarm ; the man of the situation, before the country and all Europe, would be the Earl of Ellenborough, and not Viscount Palmer ston, who, moreover, would not be Premier. So he resolved coute qui coute, to retreat, without reason as signet], from Lord Derby's patriotic adval.ce, and the country has lost, for the critical present, the incom parable services of the Earl of Ellenborough. To fill up the gap for the nonce, Lord Palmerston had recourse to Lord Panmurc—a man undoubtedly of con siderable administrative ability, but notoriously an in valid, and whose shattered health it is most unfair to press into the public service on so urgent an occasion, and with such incessant and overwhelming labour and responsibilities. If Lord Paumure should soon be foretl to retire, who is to tako his place The - country will then look sternly towards those who deprived it of Lord Ellenherough. Another disclosure is , the Queen's prompt appeal to the Earl o f D er by, and unconditional commission. to firm a Conservative Government, on the ono hand; and, on the other, his assurance to her Maj. sty that she tnitibt rely on him and his friends for a Ministry, should other combinations fail. And a Ministry he can form which will abundantly satisfy the country ; and it will be one suppGrted by the overwhelinimr force of public opinion. There were peculiar and delicate reasons why at this conjuncture Lord Derby should not have dissolved a House of Commons, however confident he might be that it did not, as it assuredly does not, represent the sense of the country. Circumstances may soon render that necessary ; and we shall then see whether the country will incline towards the Earl of Derby and his Conser vative friends, guiltless of the war, untainted with its foul mismanagement, and admirably conducting the affairs of the country, till overthrown by an unprincipled cabal, who are alone, undeniably and avowedly, respon sible for the war and for its infamous mismanagement. We fear the new cabinet will but too soon exhibit its ricketty condition in divided counsels and feeble action, in jealousies and dissensions ; but they may safely rely on receiving from the Conservative party, however ill the coalition may have deserved it, not only forbear ance, but a support without which they could not stand a day. The Conservative party and the country will, however, at the same time, keep their eye on Mr. Roe buck's committee, its constitution, and disclosures. BANK Of FRANCE.

DEFENCE OF THE PORT OF LIVERPOOL.—It is the in tention of Government to construct another large battery on the Cheshire side of the Mersey immediately, OR the site of the old powd er m agaz i nes a t Li sc ard.

Later in the evening the noble Marquis, speaking to the toast of " th e L an d we Live i n, " remarked : " There is no single thing in the world so hard as for a man to do his ditty. (Cheers.) You are expected by men to do it, but recollect how much higher a call is upon you. God expects you to do your duty, aid when you measure it by that great standard how very short do you come of that perfection which is required I For myself and my dear wife, I need not remind you that we aro a family party ; here we know no strangers. And when I think of that I cannot but think of Sir Colin Campbell, when he led the Highland Brigade upon the heights of the Alma. (Cheers.) Sir Cohn Campbell said, We'll hae vane but Heelan' bonnets here'—(re newed applause) —so, my friends, when we were to be here I thought I would have you, and be in the midst of you with my 'ain wifey,' and that I would have nine here but just our ain folk.' (Great applause.) Here is security for your farms and improvements, as I know the fall is at your doors. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, if I fail it is with you. It is for no object lam saying so ; Ima not discussing any new opinion or fresh conviction on that subject—the much mooted subject of tenant•right. My impression is that a change has come over all of ne since this question was mooted —not that it is less valu able—not that it does not remain as an ore in the earth, to be worked out ; but I do think that during the pre- sent state of things, it is our duty to sink all questions in the common consideration of the country's welfare—the necessity of forming a strong and efficient Government, and obeying olio common object—that of supporting the Queen. (Cheers,) I bad but one object in supporting the tenant-right question, which was marked by my votes in Parliament, and which lost me my position in this country ; but from these principles I will not depart. (Cheers.) I am afraid you may be flattered without reason, and that you may imagine I have taken such a great interest in your welfare that I do not think of my own ; but I would sot have been as I always was, for affording security to the farmer to lay out his money on the land if I was net sure it was the best thing for me— (cheers)—therefore, you have not mere seeking for popu larity on my part, but I have indicated a motive which all have in view, as I am fully convinced the landlord has the greatest interest in the outlay of money in the soil. You are all sharp, clever, and shrewd men. I know I am not talking to men who are unable to weigh every word I speak--who will allow their hearts alone, and not their understanding, to be addressed, but I arm speaking to your understanding when I say that if the farmer lass good timn now, there may be a time of re verse. (Hear.) War has come, and it has brought its consequences with. it. Every interest, or very nearly every interest, in the country is suffering. The farmers (alone arm doing any good, and may God blsss the armor ! (Cheers.)" ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. WINDSOR. Yesterday morning, the chairman of Lord C. Welles ley's committee at the general election in 1852 received a letter from his the effect that the almost total absence of sight, umEr which the noble lord is still suffering, renders it impo , isible for Lim t) discharge his Parlfirm-wary duties, and that ho had made up his mind. to vacate his scat f,r Windsor by accepting the Chiltern lluinredq on an early day. Scarcely had this commn uicat:no been made pubic when it eras announced that the new writ had been moved for at the early sittings of the House of Commons. Before this latter fact was ge nerally known, Mr. G. W. Hope, accompanied by Mr. Leslie Melville (the resident partner of the Windsor Bunt: and B brewery), had made a partial canvass of the • - town, and at five o'clock in the afternoon, his address, offering himself as• a Liberal-Conservative candidate, was issued. Mr. Hope is the nephew of Lady Montagu, and cousin to the Duke of Buccleuch, which will ac count for the address being dated from Ditton Park, in this neighbourhood, one of the many seats possessed by his grace, and now occupied by Lady Montagu. Mr. Hope was returned for Weymouth in 1837, in opposi tion to the late Sir Thomas Fovvell Buxton, and will secure on the present occasion the cordial support of the Conservative party. It is understood that Mr. Samson Ricardo, of Titness-park, Sunninghill, who contested. this borough against Lord Charles Wellesley in 1852, will be in the field to-morrow. LORD LONDONDERRY AND HIS TENANTRY The Marquis of Londonderry, more popularly known as "Lord Castlereagh," entertained his tenantry at Mountstewart, his lordship's residence, in the county of Down. About 350 sat down to dinner, and it is rnen. tioned that "none of the class gentry or clergy were in. eluded in the invitations." After the banquet the noble Marquis rose to propose " the Health of the Queen," and in the course of his address thus referred to the great event of the day :—" For the first time now something of saltless, something of gloom, has been cast around our Sovereign's crown. My friends, the present gather. ing, the gathering of this evening, is well suited to throw a sun-ray across that shadow. Her Majesty need not fear, her councillors need not fear, so long as they are true to her Majesty—(loud cheers)—for the free country which she rules will be true to her. My friends, it is not alone upon the snowy and ice-clad hills of Baler klava that we have Nicholas to meet. Mismanagement may have existed, false calculations may have been made, but it is the elastic and indomitable spirit of the people of this country that will destroy and neutralise the terrors of that cold and inhospita:de shore. Cash. al ties and mieforoine3 may al ice, the hopes of the nation may for a time be wrecked, the deeds of the great men who existed year ago may be gone and past, but the trophi es o f a Nelson and a Wellington still remain ; the array and the navy are the Fame that they then were, their sons have been born in the same native earth, and their spirit is the same. Of England I will not speak, nor of Scotland, but to Ireland I will refer, for Ireland is my uwo laud, that I love best, dearest, and I say that, though toe great Czar of Russia way look upon our shivering ranks, aud upon the nielaneholy exhibitions in the Crimea, yet would I like to show him an assemblage such as that which I have now the honour t o b e i n the midst of —(cheers)----and to tell him that all his nobles, and lords, and princes, his dukes, his potentates, and his Menschi koffs, are not worth 300 such good and true men, who are not serfs, or vassals, or slaves, but who can come thus beneath their landlord's roof, and say, We live with you, you live with us ; your lot is cast with us, our lot is cast with you.' (Loud cheering.) You, and all of you, should hold it as a Christian duty, as well as a mat , ter of political necessity, to merge all difficulties and ferences, and to say that Great Britain must be main tained, and her might for the future strongly and power• fully preserved. (Hear.) Thus you can beet show your loyalty to the Crown, and I think that a meeting like this can show to the Crown what it can beet rely on—not the sympathetic howl which across the Atlantic cornea and goes in the national prosperity, but that which is prepared to staid by her Majesty, whether her path be rough or smooth, and to maintain against all foes the honour, security, integrity, and moral ability of the Crown." TIVERTON. The writ for the election of a member of Parliament for this borough was received at Tiverton on Thursday morning. The election is fixed for Monday next. During the course of the day an influential meeting of his lordship's supporters and friends was held, at which it was represented that there would not, in all probabi lity, be the slightest opposition to the noble premier's re turn ; and that, therefore, considering how important it was that he should remain in London, it was undesir 7 able that he should be present at the election. In pur suance of these suggestions, the following resolution was passed, from which it will be seen that it is not at all probable that Lord Palmerston will visit the borough on Monday : " TO THE ELECTORS OE THE BOROUGH OF TIVERTON. " Lord Palmerston having accepted the office of First Lord of the Treasury, and having consequently vacated his seat in Parliament fer this borough, the committee for ensuring his lordship's re-election met this morning, and unanimously passed the following resolution : " That considering the present state of public affairs, and how necessary Lord Palmerston's presence is in Lon don, his - lordship's friends ix this borough are of opinion that, under these circumstances, his personal attendance at the ensuing election should be dispensed with.' " The committee feel assured that they have acted only. in accordance with the wishes of their brother electors in having communicated the .preceding resolution to Lord Palmerston ; and that, mash as they would rejoice to wel come his lordship as the head of her Majesty's Govern. meat, yet, that if the interests of the public service reptire his presence in London, the electors of Tiverton will be prepared unanimously to return him, though absent, at one of their representatives in Parliament. " Signed on behalf of the Committee. "Dated Tiverton, Feb. 8, " 1855."". AROZT Chairman . Yesterday (Friday) the following address from Lord Palmerston was issited. " TO TER ELECTORS OF TIVERTON. Gentlemen — The Queen having been greefeuelY pleased to conf er upon me the office of First Lord of the Treasury, my seat in the House of Commons has become vacant , and I again solicit at your hands a continuance of that confidence on your part which I have now for so long a period had the honour to enjoy. lam fully sensible of the deep responsibility which attaches to the high post in which her Majesty has been pleased to command my Bor. vices ; and no effort shall be wanting on my part for a due performance of the important duties whioh have thus de. volved upon me. To promote the welfare and prosperity' of this great nation must at all times be the anxious study of those to whose hands may be committed the manage ment of its affairs ; but, at the present moment, that task is beset with difficulties which require proportionate exers tions. This country has been compelled to engage in war, for objects which the judgment of the nation has declared to be of sui3lcient magnitude and importance to mat necessary the exertions and sacrifices which that war me? require. We are contending against a powerful adversor4 but we are contending in conoert with a powerful an faithful ally; and I confidently hope that the aiditficauf. energy of the British people will triumph over ties, and that by vigorous exertions in war we s hall attain that end which is the object of all just war — a saf e and honourable peace.—l have the ho r no n u t" r , to be, gentlemen, your most obedient and humble se ya PALMERSTON.
