MONEY MARKET COMMEaffiAL v4iN CITY, Two o'CLoca. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed heavily, and prices of all descriptions were un changed. The sales were 6,000 bales. The Rail way Share Market was very steady at full prices. The col.inial produce markets this week have been quieter, and purchases have been confined to immediate requirements. For sugar a dull market has prevailed, and a decline in prices of 6d. per cwt. has occurred where sales have been pressed. Coffee has not been much inquired for, but com mon plantation Ceylon has maintained full prices. Trinidad cocoa is is. to 2s. per cwt. cheaper ; rice has advanced, and tea has supported previous values, although the dealings have been limited. Tallow has been dull. The accounts from New York, per steamer Atlantic, state that the Stock Market had mate rially improved in consequence of some extensive purchases. No material alteration had occurred in the Money Market, but the large receipts of /specie from California had increased confidence. In the advices received this morning from France, the particulars of the trade of the country during the month of October are furnished. In that period the customs receipts increased to 16 , 22 0,000 f., against 13,187,000 f. in the correspond ing month of 1855. This addition has been produced by larger importations of corn, coffee, foreign sugars, oil, grain, cotton, wool, raw iron, iron in bars, Pewter, lead, tallow, silk, &::. There were also larger exports of wines and alcohol, refined sugar, machinery, cotton and silk fabrics, porcelain wares, dm. The navigation returns give the arrivals of ship:i in the ten months of this year at 21,868, and the departures at 12,183 of 1,920,203 tons, showing a material augmentation, compared with the pre "ions year. The mails by the Lightning have been delivered to - day, and the advices, both with regard to trade and the productions of gold, are encouraging. Temporarily, however, the operations of the miners, as well as business, had been interrupted by the unfavourable state of the roads between the towns and the diggings. The Directors of the Bank of Victoria have declared the usual half-yearly divi dend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum. There is less inquiry for money in Lombard street and at the Bank of England. Approved commercial bills are in some instances discounted at a fraction below the minimum quotation. The Funds have been at further enhanced quo• tations, and the transactions are rather extensive, but this improvement is not supported with firm ness After such an important rise, however, and considering the high range of prices, a little fluc tuation is not to be wondered at ; but the gene ral position of the market appears buoyant. Consols have been 931 I for money, 93/ 94 for the December account, and 94i for January. The present values are about 93 for money, and 93/ for the next account, being flatter. The New 3 per Cents. have been 92/ the Reduced 924 /, Exchequer Bills 1 dis. to 1 prem., and the Bonds 98 i • Bank Stock is 215. Foreign Securities have also advanced. Turkish 6 per Cents, have been higher, viz., 93 94k, but they are now about 931 /. The 4 per Cents, have been 1001 101. Spanish Bonds are firm, the Threes being 41/ 42, and the New Deferred 23/ ,- Russian 4i per Cents, are 96k, Brazilian 6 per Cents. 1001, and Dutch 4 per Cents. 96k. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6i 7 ; Mexi can, 22 a 1 ; Peruvian 41 per Cents., 77 8 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 55 6 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 43 5 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 106 8 ; ditto 41 per Cents., 94 6; Spanish 3 per Cents., 42 421 ; ditto New Deferred, 23i 4; ditto Certificates, 5 5 ; ditto Passive, 6 6i. Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co. report that during the past week there has been a fair amount of busi ness done in the market for American Securities. In railway securities, however, the transactions have been confined principally to the bonds and share s of the Illinois Central, for which there has been an active demand at improved prices.

IN RE REDPATII.-THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY FRAUDS. A petition in bankruptcy has been presented against Redpath, who stands charged with the extensive frauds on the Great Northern Railway Company. It has been balloted to Mr. Commissioner Goulburn, and Mr. Pen nell is the official assignee. The petition will no doubt be opened in the course of the day, but at present no particulars can be oh. tained, but it is underst >od that the petitioning creditors are stockbrokers in the city. THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY FRAUDS. EX IMINATION OF REDPATH AND KENT.— CLERKEN WELL. —(THIS DAY). The further examination of the t mo prisoners, Redpath and Kent, charged with fraud and forgery on the Great Northern Railway, took place this morning before Mr. Tyrwhitt. The prisoner Redpath it will be recollected, was the registrar of shares and transferer of stock in the company's employ, and the prisoner Kent was a clerk is his office. The amount of which they have defrauded the company is supposed to exceed 200,0001. The enormity of the offence, and the position of Red path, coupled with his mode and style of living in Chester-place, has created great sensation throughout the country as well as the metropolis. One o'clock was the hour fixed for the hearing of the case, brat for some hours previously, and for a considerable period before the opening of the Court, a large crowd of persons had assembled around the Police-court, which increased as the day advanced. The usual hour for commencing the ordinary business of the Court is half-past 10 o'clock, but, not withstanding there were thirty night charges to be disposed of before this case cauld come on, the magistrate did not take his seat on the bench till past eleven o'clock. At this court all the officials appear to have a peculiar way of conducting the business, con trary to that usually adopted at other police-Courts; and from the continual and audible running commentaries of the magistrate and clerk on each case that comes before them much valuable time is lost ; and the sound of the two voices, one striving to be heard above the other, is anything but dignified or agreeable. No arrangements bad been made for the accommo dation of the reprosentatives of the press, most of whom had to discharge the onerous and arduous duties as best they could, with their note-books, &e., on their hands, knees, or hats, presenting a striking con trait to the admirable arrangements made for the accom modation of the representatives of the press at the Man sion-house during the examination of the gold robbers, and at Lambeth Police-court during the examination of Robson for the Crystal Palace frauds. The court was densely crowded. After a delay of about three-quarters of an hour from the appointed time for the examination of the prisoners they were placed in the dock. Kent walked first into the dock, and assumed the brisk air and demeanour as on the former occasion. Redpath followed, and looked pale and haggard. He stood most of the time with his bands behind his back. Mr. Mowatt, the secretary to the company, and Mr. Farquhar, of the Messrs. Johnson, Farquhar, and Such solicitor to the company, attended to watch the pro ceedings. Mr. Gifford, barrister, instructed by Mr. Humphreys, attended for the company, to prosecute. Mr. Wontner defended Leopold Redpath, and Mr. Hawkins, barrister, instructed by Mr. Dodd, of New Broad-street, defended James Charles Comyns Kent. Mr. Gifford said that, in addition to the evidence already given, with reference to two items of fraud against Redpatb, four other charges would be proved, and it would be shown that he had transferred more stock to himself than he ever possessed, and that he bad received dividends from them. Kent, it would be shown, was cognisant of this fraudulent transfer. He should show that in other transactions the prisoner Kent acted in concert with Redpatb, and was aware that in the transfer of shares from Stephen G. Allen to George Sidney by being the attesting evidence that the signature of Mr. George Sidney was a forgery. It would be shown that Mr. Sidney did not reside at the address given, but that Redpath formerly lived there. He called Mr. Henry James Wood, who deposed—l am a clerk in the office of Messrs. Ford, Wood, and Co., of 9, Warnford•court. In April, 1853, I completed a transfer of 5001. A Consolidated Stock in the Great Northern Railway, from Henry Baker to Leopold Redpath. I paid the money by check to Mr. Fawcet, the selling broker to Mr. Baker, and I received the transfer deed. It was numbered 8,518. I completed a'similar transac- tion on the same day of 2501. A. stock, from William Kitchen to Redpatb, numbered 8,519. I got a check for 1181. 2s. 6d. signed by my firm, which I handed to Mr. Salter, Mr. Kitchen's broker. Mr. Walter Fawcett—l am a stockbroker, of 22, Threadneedle-street, in partnership with Messrs. Hill. I recollect the completion of the purchase of the consoli dated stock A 5001. I attested the transfer. Mr. Henry Baker executed the transfer in my presence. The attestation is in my handwriting. I received 236/ . 55., including the stamp, from Messrs. Field and Co., on the completion of the purchase. Mr. Hargrave Grylls—l am in the service of the Great Northern Railway as clerk. In April 1853, I was em ployed at the London Terminus. I saw Redpath exe cute the transfers 8,518 Baker's, and 8,519 Kitchen's. I attested both the transfers. Mr. W. H. Clarke —I was formerly the registrar o f the Great Northern Railway stock. I left in April 1854. I have the register of stock before me, and on looking at the register I find that a figure of "one' has been added to the amount in each case, mak ing it 1,5001. instead of 5001., and 1,2501. instead of 2501., according to the transfer. If genuine they would show that stock to that amount had been transferred into Redpoth's name. The whole of the figures making the above amounts I believe to be in Redpath's hand writing. (The, effect of this evidence was to prove that the figure "1" bad been added in each in stance surreptitiously by Redpath.) There are figures on page 553 of the registry is Kent's band. writing. There were also entries on the same page in Redpath's handwriting. In page 558 there is a con tinuation of Redpath's account, and entries of figures there by Redpath and Kent. Cross-examined by Mr. Hawking—The figures to which I allude are in the colmun headed "A deferred." It appears to me the greater part of the entries on page 553 are in Kent's handwriting. The first four lines of Redpath's account are in Kent's handwriting. The rest is in Redpath's handwriting. On page 558, the con tinuation of Redpath's account, there are 11 lines in Kent's handwriting. The last entry in the account is in Redpath's handwriting, which follows Kent's last entries. Those preceding Kent's are iu Redpath's and another clerk's handwriting, whose name I don't now recollect. The entries made by that clerk were made subsequently to my leaving. I think that clerk's name is Freeman. I believe it is a 3ommon practice for per sons having a quantity of stock belonging to them standing in other persons names. Mr. Hawkins—Has not a gentleman, whose name I do not wish to mention, 100,000/. worth of stock in this line standing in other persons names? Witness—l don't exactly recollect. Mr. Hawkins—l'll give you the name. Has not Mr. Hutchinson that amount in other persons names ? Witness—Yes, I believe he had when I was in the office. Mr. Hawkins—ls it not recognised by the directors ? Witness—Yes, I believe so. I don't know how they oould help it.

SOUTLIAMPTON ELECTION. SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 20. Active operations for the election of a successor to the late Attorney-General (Sir A. Cockburn) in the representa tion of this borough have now commenced. A very large meeting of the electors, convened by placard, was held last night at Pratt's Riding-school, for the purpose of hear ing addresses from gentlemen offering themselves as candi dates in the Liberal interest. Mr. E twin James, Q.C., however, was the only candidate who presented himself to the meeting. Mr. JAMES presented himself, and was loudly cheered. He said—Gentlemen, electors of the borough of Southamp ton, I aspire to the highest honour that can be bestowed upon a citizen in a free country—the honour and right of representing his fellow citizens in their Parliament. lam aware, from what has occurred to-night, of the prejudice that has been raised against me as a lawyer—of that pro judice, merely because lam a lawyer, without reference to what lawyers have done for the people—without refer ence to the energies and the industry that lawyers have be stowed on behalf of the people. If they are to be cast aside by such an enlightened constituency as that of Southamp ton from a mere vulgar prejudice, then I say that the con stituency of :Southampton are ignorant of what lawyers have done for the liberties of the people. (Cheers.) Are the names of Romilly, and Brougham, and Denman, to be mentioned beiore you to incur contumely and disgrace ? (Cheers.) No man struggled for the people's cause and fur the people's liberty, in days when it was dangerous to his profession and to his r e p u t a ti on, more t h an Si r S. Roniilly. No man has struggled harder for civil and religious liberty than Lord Brougham—(luud cheers)—and no man ever advocated the rights of the people against the tyranny of the Crown more strenuously than Denman. (Cheers.) Ne man, to the sacrifice of everything that was dear to him, professional advancement and gain, struggled harder for the people and the liberiy of the press than Erskine. (Cheers.) Therefore, if I am to be told that merely because a man happens to be a lawyer, he is, though willing and anxious to bestow his industry and energy to the cause of the people, on that ground only to be exiled from Parliament--if this constituency teach me that lesson, I shall indeed be surprised at hearing it from such a consti tuency as Southampton. (Cheers.) lam aware of the im portance, the wealth, and the commerce involved in the interests of this borough. lam deeply sensible of the task I undertake in perhaps the presumption of presenting my self as a candidate for your suffrages. I know the vast in terest you have in commerce—the millions floating on the surface of your waters, your docks, your harbours, and your vast emporiums of trade—the enormous increase of your exports and imports—and your position as one of the greatest and most thriving ports of this kingdom. Bat do allow me to say that there are many questions pressing on the attention of the Legislature, in which not only your interests, but those of the country generally, are involved —questions which, if a lawyer will do his duty with energy and industry, he can advocate, if not better, certainly as well, as a layman or a commercial man. (Cheers. What do you say to your bankers lately ? Has not commercial credit in this country received a check that it will take years to overcome, by the dishonesty of bankers ? So that you may have dishonest commercial men as well as dishonest lawyers. (Hear and cheers.) Let me direct your attention to many questions coming on for consideration ; and I am sure you will agree with me that many of them are of that import ance that lawyers can render your town and the public essential service. (Cheers.) What are the great questions that are pressing ? (A cry —" The Police Bill.") Well, now I will tell you, if I had been in the House of Commons I would have voted against that bill. (Cheering.) And allow me to say that I know the Attorney General did all he could to remove from the bill those clauses which he thought were obnoxious to the people of Southampton. (Cheers.) He struggled hard for that purpose. After wards, it was true, he voted for the bill, but he laboured to remove what he considered were the obnoxious clauses in it. (Cheers.) But why is it, I ask you—and if you say you will have a commercial than, and suppose that commercial man did something to displease you—why are you to visit any faults on the next commercial man coming here? Let us have fair play, that is what I want. (Cheers.) I am myself sprang from the working classes, and lam of them. (Cheers.) I have been the architect of my own fcrtunes, and my own position—(cheers) —and if yeu say that because I am a lawyer I am to be disquali fied, say so at once—but let us discuss the question, and see if the objection does not arise from a prejudice which ought not to obtain in an enlightened constituency. (Cheers.) I was about to speak of those questions which must come prominently before the Legislature, and as to those questions in which a lawyer can assist the cause of the people. (Cheers.) Take, for instance, the Appellate Jurisdiction of this country. That will be one of the most prominent measures introduced during the next Session of Parliament. You are all interested in the proper administration of our laws, and I tell you the state of the Appellate Jurisdiction in the House of Lords is a disgrace to any civilised country. (Cheers.) If you have a lawyer who is advocating the cause of the people—tell me who can advocate that cause better than a man who is versed in the laws, and who understands how to amend them. Take the question of the Ecclesiastical Courts, coupled with law Reform. The state of those courts is a disgrace to the civil code of any country. (Cheers.) If you are left- and it is a question which comes home to the bosom of you all —a legacy of 1001., and it is litigated, you are driven into the Ecclesiastical Court, and before you get the 1001. it is sweated down to 60/. (Cheers.) So it is in all questions connected with the Ecclesiastical Court. You have one commercial man as your representative, and a most honour. able man he is, as well as a most able representative— (loud cheers)—and a commercial man can vote, and will vote rightly on all those questions, but on those great questions a lawyer who is advocating your interests will be of advantage to you. (Cheers.) Take the great ques tion of crime, now pressing itself on the attention of the country—its prevention and cure. The state of crime has arrived at that fearful pitch in this civilised society that it is essential some broad, comprehensive, and statesman. like view should be adopted to meet this great evil. (Cheers.) Who can advocate or bring to bear his legal knowledge and experience better on questions of this sort than a lawyer? (Cheers.) I am not here vaunting myself as a lawyer, but endeavouring to meet that which I believe to be—and which I think you, as anintelligent and thinking people, will believe to be—an unfair prejudice. Take, now, your local questions. (Cheers.) There are two local questions which occasion great interest very pro bably.: in the minds of the people of Southampton. The one is the introduction of a competing railway into the town. (Cheers.) Perhaps, now, gentlemen will do me the justice to own that I may know a little about that matter, because, when the narrow gauge was projected from Manchester to Southampton, and it wanted a law yer's help in Parliament, I had the honour of being the lawyer employed—(cheers)—and I think a competing rail way to the town would be of infinite advantage. (Re newed cheering.) I believe it will tend to keep in check that which might otherwise, and perhaps does, prove to be a gigantic monopoly. (Loud cheering.) If I were out of Parliament it is probable that my services as counsel may be retained as before to advocate that railway; and do you imagine that lawyers are so degraded and so base that I would not, as your Member, uphold the interests entrusted to my care, and deem them a higher and a greater stimulus to exertion than the mere fee I should receive if out of Parliament? (Cheers.) Are you so pre judiced as to think that if I had your interests confided to my care, I should not advocate that railway as willingly, and as zealously, as I would for a mere paltry fee—(cheers) —believing that the railway would be of infinite advan tage to the town? (Cheers.) Knowing as I do, and feeling convinced, that the railway would be of vast benefit to the commercial interests of the town, the advancement of those interests would be to me a stimulus sufficient to advocate it to the best of my ability. (Cheers.) Take another question. A eontest will probably arise between the Crown and the interests of Southampton on what are called the " mudlands," and I ask you, gentlemen, fairly and conscientiously, is not that a question in which a lawyer can materially assist you ? (" Yes," and cheers.) Of course your commercial member, Mr. Willcox, will assist you by his vote and interest, bat the question is one in which a lawyer can render you essential service. (Cheers.) Do you believe a lawyer does not take deep interest in the honour of representing such a borough as this? And is it fair to say of my friend Sir Alexander Cockburn that if, in the discharge of the duties of his profession, those talents by which he is adorned ware attended with their ordinary results, and honours fell upon him, that he made South ampton a mere stepping-stone to his promotion. ("Ne, no," and cheers.) A peerage may fall to the lot of a com mercial mast who has amassed wealth by his industry and integrity, as well as to a lawyer. (Cheers,) We have an instance of it in Lord Overstone—(cheers)—and it is a little unfair to say, even though he might have displeased you in some minor points, that my hon. friend the Attorney- General has made the constituency a mere stepping-stone to his advancement. (Cheers.) No, gentlemen, 'he has not. (Cries of "He has)." I know him to be essentially the friend of the people. I know that in any sphere in which he may be placed he will continue to be so. He will advocate the people's rights ; and I would rather risk all hopes of being elected than allow one word to be uttered to his discredit in his absence—(cheers) —without endea vouring to set it right. I believe, on my honour, that air A. Cockburn would not sacrifice the interests of the humblest elector of Southampton for the brightest coronet that ever glittered upon a statesman's brow. (Loud cheering.) No, gentlemen, it is unfair to say that be cause of the possession of talents which you well knew, when you elected him, must have led him to the highest honours in his profession- -it is a little unfair to say that, because honours have fallen upon him, he has sacrificed the electors of Southampton. (Cheers.) I be lieve that in the house in which he will sit there will be no more sincere friend of the people's cause, and of civil and religions liberty, than the new peer, Lord Langton. (Cries of "He has run away from them.") Run away ! Why, von returned him six times in nine years, and it is an honour that he is proud of. His elevation, so far from being a disgrace to you, has done infinite honour to your choice. (Cheers.) Now, then, I come to tell you what are my political principles. Upon the question of free trade I may say we are all agreed. The great questions that will come before Parliament upon that subject are merely to carry it to its legitimate results, but those ques tions are very much questions in which a lawyer's aid will be of avail. (" Let's have free trade in law.") lam for that too. (Cheers.) I am thoroughly for free trade in law, and I should not mind seeing the gentleman who has just spoken with a wig on to-morrow. (Lsughter and cheers.) The great principle of free trade has been accom plished, and the wealthiest and proudest aristocracy which the world ever saw have conceded to public opinion that great question. (Cheers.) It has now to be carried to its legitimate results. You have to give every possible sti mulus to commercial enterprise, by the relaxation of the strict laws of partnership, and other measures—to set com merce entirely free. Taking the question of the extension of the franchise, the people—who, allow me to say, in the want of a proper system of education, are educating them selves—have become more intelligent, and the working and other classes are in my opinion entitled to,] I will tell a consider able extension of the suffrage. [" How far ?' you how far. The extension proposed by Lord J. It usw it vrould not, I think, be a bad beginning. I would extend the right of voting from 10/. to 6f, householders —to every man having 501. in the savings' bank, but it must be there for a certain time, so as to avoid its being paid in to create a fictitious vote—and I would give a vote also to the clerk who le a respectable man, with a salary of 501. a year, who has obtained by his industry a status in society, £l3 well as to the Mall who derivesa fair sum from the dividends of his own earnings. I think it but fair and reasonable that a man who is intelligent, has a status in society, and is interested in the promotion of order and the security of property, should be entitled to have a vote, and the right to select his own representative to Parliament. But the extension of the franchise would be valueless without the ballot. (Cheers.) It becomes persecution to a man to give him the vote unless you protect him in recordin ,, it. (Hear, hear.) Havin o l had some little experience in these matters, I know that inlimidation is resorted to, to far too great an extent; and it is in my opinion useless to extend the franchise un less you give the voter the security of the ballot. (Cheers.) The fanchise is a sacred trust for the benefit of the people, and instances occur where men have not paid the rates in order to disqualify themselves from being placed on the register, from the fear of incurring loss or displeasure for the honest and independent exercise of their lights—a state of things which in a free country is a national dis grace. (Cheers.) They say, " Well, but voting by ballot is un-English." So is intimidation. (Cheers.) Then they say " Well, will you have a man vote in the dark ?" I answer "yes, because you take care a man shall suffer if he votes in the light." (Renewed cheering.) Ifa man is to record a vote, and the next day somebody is to came up and say " you voted for a commercial man, or for me I do not care which, or for Mr. Pegler's candidate when he comes — (great laughter)—aud I will teke my custom away from you," it is a disgrace to a free country and the free spirit of Englishmen. (Cheers.) lam in favour of the extension of the franchise, because I believe the people are qualified by their intelligence to be entrusted with the right of se lecting their own members for the Legislature —(cheers)— brit it idle to give them that privilege unless you also give them the opportunity of exercising it without danger or injury to themselves. (Cheers.) Tae the question of Church rates. If I had had the honour of being in Parlia ment, I would have voted for Sir William Clay's bill. I think Church rates should be at once abolished, without any equivalent and without any compromise. (Cheers ) I am a n ember of the Established Church, but I believe that the* revenues of that Church, if fairly and properly managed, are ample enough to sustain what I hope to live to see—a resident clergyman in every parish. I wish to see it, not merely in a spiritual point of view, but because the residence of a clergyman has a good morel and social effect upon the parishioners. (Cheers.) The revenues of the Church are ample enough, and you have no right to tax dissenters for the luxury of Church worship. If you want the Church worship to be attended by luxurY, pay for it yourselves. (Cheers) I always have been, and al ways will be, a most strenuous advocate for the total and uuconditio aal repeal of church rates, inflicting as they do an impost unjust and odious on the dissenters. (Loud cheers.) Civil and religious liberty is not yet thoroughly accomplished and perfect in this country whilst the Jew is excluded from Parliament. (Cheers.) No man ought to be excluded from Parliament on the ground of difference of religion—(cheers)— and nothing can be more absurd than the argument in favour of the exclusion of Jews. I had recently the honour of being present at an entertainment given to Mr. Alderman Salomons, the late Lord Mayor of London, and I had the pleasure of hearing presented to him the highest testimonial ever accorded to a commercial man. (Hear.) The wealth of the city rendered him their homage, and testified their esteem and respect for him, and their deep appreciation of the manner in which he had per formed the duties of his high office. (Hear.) He was a Privy Councillor during his Mayoralty, and yet he could not be member of Parliament afterwards—an anomaly ab surd and ridiculous. (Hear.) The House of Lords have rejected the Jews because they believed the public feeling was not yet strong enough ; and our history tells us that the House of Lords will oppose public opinion while it is weak, but will give way when it is strong, and I believe that will be the result in this instance. (Cheers.) I men tioned to you the question as to crime, and it is one which is attracting great attention. I have had the opportunity of devoting a little attention to this matter, and I have come to the conviction that the criminal law requires at the hands of statesmen much revision. Look about you in the world, and see how our criminals are made. Perhaps, in walking along the streets of London, you see a poor little half-clad boy, with a broom in his hand. That poor little wretch has no education—perhaps has nowhere to sleep - no home to shelter him ; some important policeman comes up and moves this unhappy child from door-step to door step, until at last, having no home, he has to sleep under the canopy of heaven, and there he takes his rest ; and as he sleeps under the glimmering stars be wonders, perhaps, whether God has inflicted so much misery in other and brighter worlds. (Cheers.) In the morning he is taken to the police court, and imprisoned for a month for sleep ing in the open air. That boy is the ticket-of-leave man when twelve years older. (Great sensation.) 1 have seen it and watched it. He is taken to gaol and made the asso ciate of felons, and he comes out the hardened criminal. Crime—as the statistics of it prove—is eating, like the canker-worm, into the vitals of society, and the question of its reformation and its punishment is almost more im portant, in a social point of view, than some of the political questions of the day. (Cheers.) It must be approached and looked at with a bread and statesman-like view, in reference to the education of the child and its reformation. Can a lawyer advocate that? He can. (Cheers.) Has not a lawyer experience from his criminal practice ? (Hear.) Can a lawyer attend before a committee and propound these views? He can, if he is honest and sincere; and why are you to say he is not, merely because he is a lawyer ? Upon the question of education I am aware of the difficul ties to be encountered, and it is one which must be ap proached in a statesman-like and comprehensive spirit ? Until we shall have a system totally unsectarian, se as to interfere with the religious feelings of no sect, I will be an advocate for the voluntary principle. I will not support a system which instructs the child, bat at the same time offends the religious prejudices of its parents. As to continental politics, I believe and hope the alliance between France and England is sincere. We know that there are powers at work to detach France from her alle giance, and we have lately had differences which the pub lic journals tell us are healed. In the present system of secret diplomacy, there are so many moves on the diplo matic chess-board that nobody knows what is going on. At one time Austria is allied with us, and as we saw the other day, keeping her troops in a position to take the same view of the treaty as England did, and supporting England against what might turn out to be a rupture with France. You all very well know that Austria supported us ; but is Austria any friend to the liberties of Europe ? (No.) Look at Italy ! (Cheers.) Look at Hungary ! Look at Naples ! For wherever you see liberty endeavouring to assert her rights, there you see Austria hovering with her troops to suppress the first blush of nascent liberty. (Great cheer ing.) It may be politic to have the alliance of Austria on occasions of difficulty, but is she to be relied upon as sin cere to England when liberty is at stake? (Cries of " No," " Hear," and " Where was England?") I say England was where she ought not to have been—reposing on her arms, a silent spectatress of the partition of Poland. Now, in the present position of our foreign relations, with the difficul ties with which we may be surrounded, and no man being able to foretell whence or how soon a storm may come, I venture to think Witt the statesman entitled to the confidence of the English pe )ple is Lord Palmerston. (Cheers.) It is said that Lord Palmerston has done nothing for the liberties of the people ; but I believe he will, and I will tell you why. Lord Palmerston, I believe, thoroughly understands public opinion and the genius of this great people. He has done more to uphold the national dignity and honeur of England, and to maintain the liberties of Europe against despotism, than any statesman since the days of Chatham. (Cheers.) European despotism trembles at the name of Palmerston; and I have a right to infer, from a man who has done so much for the cause of liberty in Europe, that, when he finds the opinions of the people of this country so much in favour of onward progress, and social and political advancement, he cannot, will not, and shall not stop— (loud cheers)—and I can hear no one say that in the present emergency there is any Minister or any Statesman in whom the public should place so much confidence as in Lord Palmerston. (Cheers.) A statesman who will secure and promote liberty abroad will not retard political improve ment at home. (Great cheering.) I am opposed to the grant to Ma 3 nooth; but, understand me—l will not support Mr. Spooner's, or any other such motion, which I believe is dictated by religions bigotry and intolerance. (Hear.) Jf ever I have the honour of a seat in Parliament, and that question is proposed, I will move, upon the principle that I am opposed to all endowments from the State for religi ous purposes, that the whole question should be considered in a large and comprehensive view. I will not support Mr. Spooner's motion, because it is instigated by bigotry and intolerance. I will not set Ireland in a flame by an act of injustice; but will support a motion to consider, in a statesmanlike view, the whole question of religious endowments, with which will be involved the question —an important one, which has been too long delayed— namely, how far the Established Church in Ireland is adapted to the spiritual wants of the people. (Immense cheers.) I have now stated to you my opinions on what I believe will be the great questions of the day, and I shall be perfectly ready to answer any questions you may put to me. I believe that the Government of my Lord Pal merston is strong. I believe that he will meet the house with a very large majority, and what is called a strong Government. It is when a Government is strong that measures for the improvement of the people ought to be proposed, for when you have party spirit running high, factious differences, and narrow majorities, it is not the time for considering and deciding upon great social and political improvements. (Hear, hear.) The time, in my humble opinion, is at hand for great social and political improvements. Our march must be onward. The thought and the feeling of the English people decree it. (Cheers.) I have expressed to you somewhat hurriedly my views upon the general topics of the day and my political senti ments, and it is because I believe that they are io unison with those of the majority of the electors of this important borough that I aspire to the honour ofrepresenting you in Parliament, in the place of one whose talents have adorned the Legislature—in whom you, upon six different occa sions, renewed your confidence—(cheers)—who, though he may have offended some of you upon minor points, has done honour to your representation—(cheers)--and who will, I am sure, recur with feelings of great pride and gra titude to the time when he was intrusted by you in Parlia ment with the political, social, and commercial interests of this great borough. (Loud and long continued cheering.) An ELECTOR—WiII you vote for the Ballot, to protect the voter? Mr. JAMES—I have already answered that question. I will. (Cheering.) _ _ Mr. IrouNG--- 7 V(That is your view of capital punishments ? Mr. JAMES—I'II tell you candidly. Ido re a lly thi n k now that it would be dangerous to abolish capital punish ment in cases of murder. I have given very anxious at tention, I assure you, to the subject. lam aware of the whole system of secondary punishments ; but I think we have seen lately such instances of utter recklessness of human life, and such outrages up on th e person, as to con vince us that this . is not the p er i o d for considering the question,of the abolition of capital punishments. Mr. WILLIAM LANKEsTER asked lir. James's opinion as to the necessity of a modification or repeal of the income tax? Mr. JAMES—I think nothing has been more unfair than the system on which th e i ncome tax has been assessed upon small incomes derived from industry. I think they bear no relation whatever to the income derived from as certained and realised property: The income derived from industry is precarious, and subject to the accident o f a man's health, an d s i c k ness coming on, and disabling him. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to ass i s t in the modification of that principle. I believe it to be m ost unjust. An ELECTOR —What is your opinion of the Game Laws? * MR. JAMES —I thi n k th e G a ineLaws, wimnadualnistered to the with severity become obnoxious. lam not opp osed fair preservation of game on a gen tl eman 's own estate, being careful that it does no injury to the farmer—(lcar)— but I would n ot vote for a total abrogation of th e Game Laws.

Mr. JOSEPH CLARK asked Mr. James to state his opi nion with reference to the desirability of adopting mea sures for the prevention of drunkenness ? Mr. JAMES—I think legislation as to drunkenness in very problematical. It should be left to education, to the benefit of example, and the increasing intelligence of the people ? (Cheers ) Mr. CLARK—WiII you advocate the Maine Law ? Mr. JAMES—If you mean will I support an Act of Par liament to prevent the manufacture of ardent spirits, I must say no. It would interfere with capital and indus try, and would only produce illicit distillation. Dr. HEARNE- I uaderstand that a sum of from 1,0015/. to 1,500/. has been spent, before a candidate coming for ward can secure his election. Is Mr. James prepared to spend that amount? Mr. JAMES—My answer to that question is this : The name of Southampton had been for many years a byword and a disgrace. You were placed in the catalogue of venal and corrupt constituencies ; but dur ing the last few years the electors themselves have purg ed the borough, and done away with that corruption. (Cheers.) I will not spend one farthing more than the legitimate expenses of th e e l ec ti on ; a nd when I now come beore you, I believe I am in the presence of one of the most honest and incorruptible constituencies in the king dom. (Loud cheers.) An ELECTOR asked Mr. James if he would vote for the abolition of the duty on paper ? Mr. JAMES—If you allude to Mr. Milner Gibson's mo tion, most anxiously have I supported him in conversa tion, and I shall be proud to vete for it as a means of edu cation, and the diffusion of useful knowledge among the people. Mr. SCRASE—WiII you be ready to vote for the repeal of the malt duty ? Mr. JAMES- That is a brewers' question—(loud laughter) —and more for the Chancellor of the Exchequer than my self. Mr. PURCHASE—WouId you vote for shutting np the hotels and public-houses of all sorts altogether on the Sunday ? Mr. JAMES—No. Why should not the poor man get his beer ut the public-house if a nobleman can go to hi s Club? Shut them all up, if you like; but do not let us shut up the public-house after the hours of Divine service if I have a right to go into Brookes's Club, and drink as much wine as I please. (Cheers.) An ELECTOR—If elected, would you pledge yourself not to take office ? Mr. JAMES—If I should have the honour of being ap pointed to office, the Constitution provides that I must come down immediately for re-election, and then, if I hale sacrificed y ou or an y of you, turn me out. (Loud cheers.) An ELECTOR—WiII you vote for the better observance of the Sabbath ? Mr. JAMES—I will not vote for any measure to make people religious by Act of Parliament, for it only makes them hypocrites. (cheers.) Au ELECTOR— Why did you leave the electors of Hull ? Mr. JAMES—Because I liked the electors of Southamp ton better. (Loud laughter and cheers„) MARKET NEWS.—Crius ray.) CORN EXUEIAN GE. The present week's arrivals of English wheat, coastwise and by land carriage, have been small, and the show of samples here to-day was limited. All kinds, however, were very dull, and to have forced sales lower prices must have been submitted t'. Over 33,000 quarters of foreign wheat having come in that article was exceedingly heavy, and rather lower to purchase. • We were extensively supplied with barley, and secon dary kinds were in favour of buyers. The malt trade was heavy, at barely stationary prices. Old oats supported former terms; but new qualities were heavy, and the turn lower. Beans, peas, and flour sold heavily, at barely late rates.

ANOTHER AMERICAN WONDER.—When the wood paving was suggested in the City, an d some difficultyagainst its introduc ti on presented itself amongst the an thorities, Sidney Smith suggested that the thing could be done ationce if the Aldermen laid their heads together. The notion of throwing a number of wooden heads into a mixture of soap and water and jumbling them therein appears to have surmounted the long-raised question of a perfect washing machine. This is an actual fact, and although the circumstance, when first published in Eng land, was received as an " American," it is both Ameri can and true.
