Meeting for that purpose. By the terms of the Deed of Settlement it is required as follows resolution was unanimously adopt, meeting having heard the statement in reference to his political views, that he is a fit and proper person to borough in Parliament, to supply the vacancy occa sioned by the lamented decease of Mr. Hope., and pledges itself to use its utmost exertion to ss cure his return." Colonel Vyse, the Conservative cal i.di date, accompanied by Mr. C. S. Voules, his solicit t )r, and a party of friends, commenced an energetic ea n vass of the electors yesterday morning, which ws continued throughout the day, and from his lont connection with the town, seems likely to receive many promises of support. Captain Hay ter and his friends in the meantime were not idle, and they immediately began canvassing the Liberal portion of the community, with excellent results.

This Company has been formed with the view of assisting the development of those constantly-extenoing operations in all departments of trade and commerce, which presents so extraordinary a feature in the industrial statistics of this country. The marked success which has attended the establishment of other Associations of a similar character proves beyond all question that a wide field exists for business of this descrip tion. While this Association will assimilate in its principles with the institutions alluded to, it differs from them in several ma terial features. Without excluding Foreign Investments. it will in preference use its resources in affording increased faci lities f r the development of all legitimate descriptions of commercial enterprise especially in the leading Provincial Towna of the United Kingdom. In 'Liverpool arrangements are pending for the formation at a very influential connexion. It not its purpose to assume the functions which belong to ordinary banking, but it will make cash advances upon the deposit of all sound and bona fide securities, such as Deben fur es and Dock Warrants, including approved Bills of Ex an4e. It will extend the benefits of its experience and influence In forwarding the successful completion of all public and private undertakings, the utility and lucrative character of which is satisfactorily assured; and with the view that the sphere of its operations may be as enlarged as possible, it is intended that the Association shall be represented at all the loft important towns by some of the most influential persons at those places, to be appointed from time to time. No promotion money has been or will be paid. Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be obtained at the offices of the Company, and of the brokers, and the solicitors in London, and at the several offices of the b rokers and solicito rs in the country.

Rumours of disasters to the Federal arms both on the Rapidan and Chattanooga have been current during the whole of yesterday and to-day, and have sent up the premium on gold from 48, at which it stood on Saturday, to 56 this afternoon. The Go vernment is in possession of despatches from both quarters which it refuses to publish; and thus adds to the general alarm, until it almost amounts to a. panic. Bat the steady rise in the premium prior to Saturday and its sudden leap to-day are not to be solely attributed to the unfavourable opinion in the money market of the rumours from the Rapidan, from Chattanooga, and from Charleston, but to other and purely economic causes. The " Fall" or autumn importation of dry goods and articles of luxury from England and France, rendered larger than usual by the extravagant habits of the 22014 veaux riches, and by the gradual exhaustion of the large stock of goods previously on hand, has led to a double demand for gold. As Europe does not need American breadstuffs this season in Anything like the quentity of past years, and as America can not consequently balance importation by exporta tion, the difference must be paid in the precious metals, The exports of produce for the week end ing on Saturday last were of the value in green backs of 2,413,600 dols., and iu gold of about 1;600,000 dole.; while the imports were of the value of 2,994,500 dols. in gold, showing a difference of 1,334,500 dole. to be now or hereafter remitted to Europe. The total exports from January to Octo ber have been 93,000,000 dole. in gold valuation, and of imports for the same period 145,817,776 dole. from which it follows that America has purchased from Europe to the amount of 53,000,000 dole. more than she has sold. During the time gold to the amount of 35,000,000 dole. has been remitted from New York and about 10,01)0,000 dole. direct from Cali fornia, leaving, if these figures be correct, about 8,000,000 dole. still due to tne Old World for com modities which the N'ew World is not ab:e to pro duce. The natural effect has been, in conjunction with the war news, to raise the premium on gold from the low level of 20 or 22 per cent., when Mr. Chase would gladly keep it, to the high rate of 56, which it reached this afternoon. And, as Mr. Chase will not take his own greenbacks in payment of duties on imports, but insists upon specie, there is a large domestic, as well as foreign demand for hard money. These influences have not only com bined to make gold scarce for trading purposes, but to deter holders from effecting sales, in the expecta tion of that further rise which is certain to occur under one or all of the four following contingencies, each of which is both possible and probable : First, the capture of the whole army of Cosencrans; second, the defeat of General Meade ; third, the rais ing of the siege of Charleston; and, fourth, the re appearance of Mr. Chase in the money-market as the borrower of another sum of 50,000,000 dole. to pay the amount which was due to the army and the navy on the first of this month. Should these events, or any one of them, occur simultaneously, it is safe to calculate that gold will reach a higher premium and greenbacks a lower depreciation than has been known since the commencement of the war. To-day the State elections in Pennsylvania and Ohio will be decided; but the results are not likely to be known with anything like accuracy until the end of the week. The issues raised in both States by the candidatur e of Judge W oodward in the one, and Mr. Vallandigham in the ether, are political rather than national. Judge Woodward has said little; but his friends assert in his behalf that he is not opposed to the continuanc e of the war against the South, but only to the mode in which Mr. Lincoln conducts it, a n d to the suspension of the which he h as d eemed necessary to prosecution. G eneral M ' Clellan, de parting from his usual prudent course of saying nothing, has written a letter to a Mr. Biddle, of Pennsylvania, in which he expresses his belief that the election of Judge Woodward is called for by the interests of the nation, and in whi c h h a takes ground in no equivocal terms against the whole p o li cy o f t h e Administration. Gen. M'Clellan i s opposed to the conversion of the war into an agency for the eman cipation of the slaves. " Understanding," he says, " that Judge Woodward agrees with me that the sole objects of this war are the restoration of the unity of the nation, the preservation of the Consti tution, and the supremacy of the laws, I would, were it in my power, give the Judge my voiceand my vote." This is the Democratic platform, very good as far as it goes, but having the fatal demerit of being utterly unable to bear the weight of the superincumbent circumstances. The Union is dead, and the Constitution has become a piece of waste paper. Gen. M'Clellan and the War Democrats would revive the dead, re-establish voluntary Union by force, and set up again a Constitution which, by the consecration of slavery, would inaugurate a new rebellion at no distant day, with this only difference, that the rebels and secessionists of that time would be the R epublicans and Abolitionists of this ; and that Mr. Li ncoln, and others would Mr. Seward,. pr oba Mr, yan find Chase, themselvesMr . occupants of Forts Sum ner,Lafayettethe and. M'Henry instead of the more logical reasoners who people thosedun geons to-day. In Ohio the issues are the same as i n Pennsylvania. Mr. Vallandigham hopes against hope that the unity of the nation w ill be restored, and that the rivers of blood Which have been shed will be bridged over, so that peaceable and friendly men may pass to and fro as happily and uncon strainedly as before ; though, with the spirit of a lawyer rather than with that of a soldier, he believes that an armistice for six mon ths;vvould be far more likely to produce the desired result than any prosecution of the war, however suc cessful. In reality the only importance to the Ame rican people and to the outer world of the struggle to be decided to-day in these two influential States will be the effect of the victory of the one or the other party upon the Presidential canvass of next year. Whatever the decision may be, the Adminis tration and their friends, comprising all the sincere Abolitionists and theoretical Republicans, as well as the contractors, will leave no stone unturned to gain the victory. They have resolved to win by the ballot if possible—by the bullet if need be or oppor tunity offer, in the outbreak, spontaneous or orga nised, of disturbances at the polls. Another charac teristic of these elections and of that which is approaching for some of the minor offices in the gift of the people in the State and city of New York is, that they will be more purely American than any similar contests of the last quarter of a century. Heretofore, it has invariably been noticed whenever State or city elections drew near - in:any part of the Union that immense numbers of newly arrived aliens applied weekly and daily for the " first papers," or attested declarations of intention to be come American citizens. Armed with these, and propped up by a little forgery, they were held to be entitled to the privilege of a vote, and voted accord ingly. Another class of immigrants, who had taken out their first bet not their second papers, and who had qualified themselves by right of residence to vote at elections, were diligently hunted out by the agents of both political parties, and induced to com plete their naturalisation, in order that they might help the party to which their sympathies attached them, or by which they been bribed and bought by promise of worldly advancement, or a share in the loaves and fishes of co rru pti on . But this year all has changed. The ali ens are no longer ambitious of the privileges of American citizenship,involving as they do the unenviable privilege of conscription ; and those who have taken out their first papers obstinately refuse to take out the second, because they would thereby forfeit all claim to the protec tion of the countries whence they came. This natural, but as it appears unexpected action of the foreign population, has greatly deranged the calcu lations of the election-managers and wire-puller, and established the principles of the ancient party of "Know Nothings" in a manner which the most violent supporter of native Americanism never anticipated. A yellow-covered pamphlet, entitled " Secret Cor respondence Illustrating the Condition of Affairs in Maryland," has just been privately printed at Balti more, and circulated among a chosen few through out the Northern States. One copy having found its way to a New York editor, copious extracts have been made from it in the columns of his journal, and have thence been transferred to the press gene rally. The correspondence is stated by the com piler, insurer, or printer to be " published as a con tribution to the materials of which the future history of Maryland is to be written,"and the endorsements on the backs of the letters as well as the letters themselves are affirmed to be exact copies of the originals. The series commences with the letters of "spies and informers" addressed to Mr. Seward and Gen. Banks, when the latter was in command at Annapolis, among which spies and informers are several postmasters in the towns and cities of Mary land, the Republican and Abolitionist Governor of Th omas H. Hicks; a lady wh o s i gns the State, Mr. herself S. M. Bonaparte, and who is said to be the wife of General, or Mr. Paterson Bonaparte, the son of King Jerome ; and several others of lesser note. The second series consists of letters from and to Mr. Seward, Mr. Ex-Secretary Cameron, Gen. McClellan, Gen. Banks, and others, and refers exclusively to the arrest of the members of the Legislature of Maryland in 1861 by the order of Mr. Seward, not to punish those gentlemen, or to bring them to trial for anything which they had done, but to prevent them from doing something which it was supposed they would do—namely, the passing through the Legislature of an act or ordinance for the secession of the State of Maryland frem the Federal Union. The letters have all the appearance of authenticity, and must, if genuine, have been stolen from the archives of the War Department and that of the Secretary of State by some minor official in the service of the Government, or been given to the press for a political purpose, with the connivance and consent of Mr. Stanton or Mr. Seward. The pamphlet is very damaging to the reputation of four persons—Mr. Seward, Mr. Cameron, General McClellan, and General Banks ; but, as it discloses nothing particularly new with regard to the Secre tary of State or to the ex-Secretary of War, nothing in fact that was notpreviously known with regard to the willing and zealous part they played two years ago in the arbitrary arrest of their political opponents, it is probable that the intention of the publisher or publishers of the pamphlet was mainly to tar and feather and set adrift upon the street to be hooted by the people those hitherto immaculate and unsuspected patriots, Generals McClellan and Banks. If Burnside, Schenck, Butler, and Milroy, are to be held up to public odium for the alacrity with which they lend themselves to the dirty work of an incipient despotism, the acts of these gentle men prove that as the Butlers and Schencks were and are in 1862 and 1863, McClellan and Banks were-in 1861. The two following letters, selected from the mass, are sufficient to tell the story. The first is from:SecretarY Cameron to General Banks : War Department, Sept. 11, 1861. General,—The passage of any act of secession by the Legislature of Maryland must be prevented. If necessary, all or any of the members must be arrested. Exercise your own judgment as to the time and manner, kut do the work effectively.—Very respectivefully your obedient servant, SIMON CAMERON, Secretary of War. To Major-General N. P. Banks, commanding near Darnestown, Maryland. The second letter marked "confidential," is from General McClellan to General Banks on the same subject, dated on the following day : Head -quarters, Army of the Potomac, Washington, Sept. 12. General, —After full consultation with the President, Secretaries of State, War, eke., it has been decided to effect th e o peration proposed t or the 17th. Arrangements have been made to have a Government steamer at Annapolis to receive the prisoners, and carry them to their destination. Some four or five of the chief men in the affair are to be arrested to-day. When they meet on the 17th you will please have everything prepared to arrest the whole party, and be sure that none escape. It is understood that you arranged with General Dix and Governor Seward the modus operandi. It has been inti mated to me that the meeting might take place on the 14th. Please be prepared. I would be glad to have you advise me frequently of your arrangements in regard to this very important matter. If it is successfully carried out it will go far towards breaking the backbone of the rebellion. It would probably be well to have a special train quietly prepared to take the prisoners to Annapolis. I leave this exceedingly important affair to your tact and discretion, and have bu t one thin g to impress upon you— the absolute necessity of secresy and suc cess. With the hi g h e st my dear. General, your regard, I am, sincere friend, GEO . B. M'CLELLAII, Major-General United St a t es Army. Major-Gen era l N. P. Banks, U nited States A rmy. All the world knows how very well the "affair" was managed; with what skill, secresy and success it was planned and carried through, and that the victims, torn from their beds at night, were confined for 14 months in the dungeons of Forts M'Henry, Lafayette, and Warren, and submitt e d to indigni ties and indecencies such as make the flesh curdle to hear and read of; but no one, except the members of the Administration, knew, until the publication of this" Secret Correspondence," h ow thoroughly and with what gusto t hese two pop u l ar Generals lent themselves to the work. Uuder all the circum stances of the case it is not likely that th e y h ave b ee n published by so me member o f the Government for the malicious purpose of outing both M c Clellan and Banks from the ring of candidates who aspire to the Presidential chair in succession to Mr. Lin coln. Both Generals are prime favourites among , the Democracy ; and, as the Democracy have m a d e t h e illegal arrests ordered b y the Go vernment, the sus pension of the habeas corpus, the atrocities of Gen. Butler, and the blundering offensiveness of Burn side and Schenck the stalkinghorses of their oppo sition to the Administration and the party it repre sents, it is extremely probable that thi s exposure is an electioneering " dodge," intended to make an end of the patriotic pretensions of both Generals, espe cially of McClellan's, and to bowl him out of the political game. Though Mr. Seward and Mr. Cameron show but ill in the business, the polka. Tne political and anti. British deification of the Russian officers continues unslackened. The British Admiral and his little fleet take their departure lo morrow, without having been participants in any thing but the curiosity of a few sightseers and the hospitalityof a few citizens, much to the satisfaction of the British residents, who ever since the Admiral arrived in port have been apprehensive that a studied insult or mark of disrespect would be shown him by some arrogant official of the city or the Go vernment. Nothing of the kind has happened, and the absence of the fleet will doubtless give a renewed impetus to the laudations which the Republicans and Ministerialists are never weary, publi c ly or privately, of piling upon the Czar, his Government, hi s policy, and his sailors. A dinner, to which 2,000 guests have been invited, is to be given to Admiral Lesoffsky and the .ether-officers, at the Academy of Music, at which, doubtless, all that can be directly said in favour of a Federal alliance with Russia, and indirectly hinted against amity with Great Britain, will find utterance. In the meantime the admiration of the Russo-maniacs vents itself at smaller dinner parties, got up at the cost of eminent contractors, and the proceedings at which, together with the bill of fare, are duly chronicled in the newspapers. At a dinner of this character given last night at Astor-house, Mr. Brady, a dis tinguished Hibernian and hater of England, which he calls a "detestable land," was in the chair, and spoke of his " friend" Admiral Lesoffsky, whom he called his friend because he was the friend of his, Mr. Brady's, struggling country, and proposed the toast of "The Emperor of Russia" for the reason, among others, that he was "absolute as a reand allied to th e p eo pl e of all lands by m hi o s n e a ffo h' efforts in behalf of the freedom of his own." In reply to the toast of "The President of the United States," who was declared to be the elected leader of the nation which was solving the question of self-government, and which was very properly proposed by an Irishman, unconscious of the blunder made in regard to a man who has done more to destroy the principle of self-government than any ma n of Anglo-Saxon lineage since Cromwell or James 11., the Hon. Mr. Winter Davis could not let slip the opportunity to sneer at the British aristocracy, denounce the mercantile classes of England, and declare that, in return for the noble reception given by the Americans to the Prince of Wales, there was nothing to show " but the imper tinence of the Trent affair, , ' and the fitting out of the Alabama and the Florida, and a nest of pirates to swarm around the American coast. The Rev. Dr. Chapin was as complimentary to Russia, and uncomp li m entary to En g l an d, as a ll th e p rev i ous in speaking to th e toast o f '6 Th e Govern ments Russia and the Unit e d St a t es; " while ano tshpeerake of rev. gentleman, Dr. Hitchcock, who had, per haps, never heard of Prince Gortschakoff's letter to in 1861, procl a i me d t h a t Russia was t M he r. o L nl iilln y e P o ower in Europe that had any real sym pathy with the Federal Government. The "shoddy" interest was largely represented at the banquet, one member of which wound up the proceedings by a toast that is said to have largely astonished and amused the polished Russian Admiral, who tho roughly u nderstands the English language and knows the full significance of the word " buncombe," by proposing as a sentiment, " The City of New York ; with her left hand she grasps the harvests Wrest; with her r i g ht h an d she weds th e tin This was not to be outdone, theeaovnfedrtlhaaelslgsea l afte: oratory fell so flat and stale as to have been judged unworthy of being re ported. The Russians have much of the same sort of tribulation yet to encounter, as they have ac cepted invitations from the municipalities of Boston and Baltimore. Doubtless a grievous amount of " buncombe" is in store for them in these cities, both in the shape of praise of their own country and abuse of Great Britain. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. WEST WORCESTERSHIRE. The election of a knight of the shire in the room of the late member, Viscount Elmley, now Earl Beauchamp, took place at Worcester yesterday. The Hon. Frederick Lygon, brother of the present and second son of the late Earl Beauchamp, was the only candidate, and the Liberal party in the county put forth an announcement some weeks ago that they should not oppose the election of Mr. Lygon out of respect to his father. The hon. candidate was met at the outskirts of the city by a strong body of mounted freeholders, who escorted him to the Grand Stand at Pitchcroft, where the election took place. The writ having been read, and the High Sheriff (Mr. Heming) having briefly addressed the electors On the business of the day, and asked for each speaker a fair hearing, The Hon. WILLIAM COVENTRY shortly addressed the electors, and nominated Mr. Lygon as a fit and proper person to represent the Western Division in Parliament. He observed that Mr. Lygon (Ed not come before them as an untried man, having been for some years member for the neighbouring bo rough of Tewkesbury. Mr. Coventry paid a tribute of respect to the late Earl Beauchamp. Mr. T. G. CURTLER, in seconding the nomination. alluded to the fact that the county of Worcester, or the Western Division, had been represented for 70 years by a member of the Lygon family, and he added that that fact was not so much owing to their territorial possession and influence as to the politi cal principles which they maintained, and the re spect in which they were held in the county. Mr. Lygon also stood before the electors on the present occasion not in the character of a nevice, but as one who had had large Parliamentary experience. (Cheers.) No other candidate being nominated, the High Sheriff declared the Hon. Frederick Lygon duly elected, amid much cheering. The Hon. F. LYGON then addressed the electors, and after acknowledging in feeling terms the kind remarks which had been made by the p revious speakers with regard to his father, said he should so endeavour to follow his good example as to gain for himself at least a portion of that esteem and re spect which had been paid to the memory of his late father. He went on to say that this was not a time for entering into a disquisition on Cons ervative prin ciples, but he would say that ho w ould continue to follow the course which ho had adopted.in public life hitherto. (Hear, hear.) He might also on this occasion be permitted to touch briefly on some of the public questioue of t he day. It had latterly 'that there w as no become greatly the fashio n to sa difference nowadays bet ween Whig and Very. H © believed that was a great fundamental mistake— (hear, hear) —and when he heard people say that political differences were now melted away he an swered that no persons who made that assertion could have elerely 'poem(' vi hat was going on either at home or abroad. The). e would always be a difference of opinion with regar to both our fo reign and our domestic politics, and there would be a lways those who were unwilling tes change and those who would be always changing. ile wished it to bo ulderstood that he was not averse to Change. N o unprejudiced man could bo averse to cua iti°us and wise changer, hut it was another thing to g ° On recklessly changing [ (cheers) — and getting for the mere sake of change —'g into such a state of confusion as that which they were unfortunately in in Ame 7 I Irice. The progress of affairs in America showed how fallacious were the principles which a few years lego SOO 6 people thought would ultimately prevail in England. When we paw how much blood had been shed, how much treasure had been wasted, and what evil had arisen in A manner from the form of government which the Americans had sketched out for themselves, we ne - t g eit congratulate ourselves that our own different Reran of govern ment established by our forefathers Led exempted us from those evils; and we should eeke care that the blessings which the Constitution Df this country secured for us might be handed dowel .from us to our children and to our children's chileLan. (Cheers.) He felt strongly the lesson which wee derivable from the state of affaira in America ; tie felt that that lesson had been brought home to the convictions of many who had before allowed them selves to float down the stream of public opinion without caring where it drifted them . to. He thought it right at the present moment to make some remarks on the question whether their Home Government was to be supported. or opposed by the Conservative party, and on this point he must say that he believed Lord Palmerston had done more to degrade ana deutoralise public opinion than any other statesman. He was a man who had never maintained any great principles of his own, but had always been at the beck and call of the majority, which was adangerous and unsafe position for any 1 leader of her Majesty's Government to take up. At 1 the beginning of the present century Lord Palmer ston was a Tory of the Tories, and held office un der Lord Liverpool, and afterwards was a supporter of Canning. At Canning's death he took office un der the Duke of Wellington, and was in the suc cessive Ministries of Lord Grey, Lord Melbourne, and Lord John Russell, and when Radical opinions were in the ascendancy he was ready to give h # support to any Radical. And while at one time Lord Palmerston was ready to lend himself to a large degradation of the suffrage, so he now thought it wise, with Lord Russell, to turn round and laugh at those who had raised them to power, on the pre tence of advocating that extension. Mr. Lygon then referred to Earl Russell's recent speech in Scotland, and went on to say that he was not one of those who asked for any extensive degradation of the suf frage; but he was astonished at reading that speech, remembering as he did that so recently as the year 1859 Lord Russell had solemnly stated in public that as he had supported reform when he was young so he would not desert it when he was old. With regard to other public questions he might allude to the course taken by Lord Palmerston on the church rate question as illustrating his character as a statesmen. Some years ego when there was no ques tion raised about church-rates, Lord Palmerston supported their imposition. Subsequently, when the agitation against them was raised, and church-rates were pronounced to be doomed, Lord Palmerston consented to give them up, and voted for their abo- ' lition. That was not all; a change again took place; ' the opinion of the House of Commons was altered, 1 the minority against their abolition increased, and at last was turned into a majority. What did Lord Palmerston do then? He paired with a mem ber who it was well known was in Italy, and left the question to take care of itself. And thus he maintained the character which he (Mr. Lygon) had given of him. Whichever aide of a question had the majority was the side supported by Lord Palmer ston. He (Mr. Lygon) maintained that this was not the motive that should actuate public men and leaders of public parties. A man entrusted as Lord Palmerston was with public affairs ought to main tain a principle, abide by it, and make sacrifices for it. (Hear, hear.) Ha should make up his mind what was the right course to pursue on a public question, end having done this he should follow that course. (Hear, hear.) It was all very well to say that Lord Palmerston was always found on the winning side. That might be so, but that was not the only qualifi cation that they had looked for in a statesman. To maintain a great principle, to promote the education and improvement of your fellow-man, and to lay down a great principle of government, was a task to which any man might aspire ; but it he became a 1 mere weatherglass, to record the opinions of a ma jority which might be black one day and white on another, was the worst possible state of things that could exist. He eves not one of those who meant to s ay that a man might never change his opinions ; but he did oppose any such change when it became principle, but a ch a n ge i n or d er not a change in to maintain in office the party effecting it. (Hear, hear.) He next alluded to foreign affairs. They had an unfortunate state of things in Poland, and a Ministry doing something for the sake of doing something, and treading in those steps of vacillation which in 1854 led to the war with Russia, and which he feared might lead them to war again, although contrary to the wishes of the people of this country. (Hear, hear.) He believed that the people of this country were not prepared to go to war with Russia for the sake of Poland. (Hear, hear.) If unfortunately war should arise between this country and Russia, it should be made known that it had arisen from want of principle on the part of her Majesty's Govern ment in reference to its conduct towards foreign nations. In con clusion the hon. gentleman thanked the electors for the kindness they had shown t o wards him and his family, and moved the thanks of the meeting to the High Sheriff for his conduct of the election. Sir JOHN PAKINGTON, in seconding the vote, paid a passing trib ute to the memory of th e l a t e Earl Beauchamp , w ho i n the House of C ommons and the House of Lords had represented the county over a period of 45 years ; and, alluding to the ab sence of opposition to Mr. Lygon's election on the part of the Liberals of the county, said he would accept that fact as a mark of respect offered to the memory o f the late earl; but (Sir John added) he suspected bou nd discretion had somethi ng t o do with the decision of their political opponents. Bat Mr. Lygon had now been elected, and would proceed to Parliament to support those Conservative opinions which he had that day expressed to them in so accura te and just a manner; and in no resp ec t was b e more accurate in his enunciation of Conservative principle than in his statement that Conservative opinions were not opposed to liberal and gentle pro gress. (Hear, hear.) What Conservatives opposed was democratic innovation, We loved our consti tution, we loved our country, and we loved that liberty which was the result of those institutions. That was the feeling which actuated the Con servative party in the country—(hear, hear) —and he (Sir John) believed that the great body of the British people sympathised in the soundness of the Conservative policy, and that it was this unanimity of feeling that had obliged Lord Palmerston to abandon those principles on which he ' had taken office, and to govern the country on Con servative principles, in order to keep him and his colleagues in office. He had only to add his con gratulations on the proceedings of that day, and on their choice of a member who would do honour to the county of Worcester. He had known Mr. Lygon from a child, and respected his abilities. He was one of those young men who preferred to devote themselves to the public setvice of their country rather than to give themselves exclusively up to pleasure. Re had had the pleasure of acting With him for a short titue in official life, and he hop would long live to represent them. Although .1.10 e ed (Sir John) was not much in the habit of q uoting in doe opinion of Earl Russell, he thought h e could n better than close his remark i with the few oble earl. words of advice lately offered to them by then elected :, Ho would ther2fore say that, having now good member, it would well I"("tncs ) and be thankful." (Laughter and eh e erin to " rtst the vote, EIGH SHERIFF having Acknowledged tee duo form bee n vote, and the new member saving -- in girt with a sword, the proceedingsend ed. The hon. member afterwards rode in processio n . through the streets of the city. WINDSOR , Last night an influential meeting of the suppor ters of Capt. Halter took place at the Castle Hotel, Mr, H. PriTer in the chair. Capt. Rafter haying The iron-cased ship Caledonia, fitting in the Vic toria-docks, will be hauled out, according to present arrangements, to-morrow at high tide, and will be towed down to Sheerness to be completed ft r service. The screw steamship Cordelis, 11, having under gone a thorough repair, was removed yesterday afteruoon from No. 4 dock at De.vonport, and placed alongside the Sheer hulk in Hamoaze, to be rigged and stored for the first division of the Steam Reserve. The screw steam corvette Brisk, 16, at Devon port, is ordered to be placed in No. 4 dock to be re paired, and advanced to the first division of the Steam Reserve. The Monarch, target ship at Portsmouth, is re ceiving a fresh supply of armour-plates of 51,-in. thickness, on her sides for testing by the 68-poun der gun, They comprise three experimental plates the fieldl ielsl and c from Messrs. Sohn Brown and Co., of bheffield ; one from the Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Com p ny, .and, of one from Sheffield, are about armour-plate manufacturers to the Government. They have erected a large plant at their works for l. the purpose, and th e i r t wo fi rs t pl a t e s will be placed j l al t o Messrs. enter Ci M a under trial at Portsmouth in a short time. Admiralty instructions have been received at Chatham directing that in all cases in which vessels of war are sold out of the service the greatest pos sible care is to be taken in removing all the gun-- fittings, and returning them to the War Depart ment. The order also directs the officials to make a return of the exact cost of the sails, spars, rigging, and other gear belonging to the screw gun vessel Victor, 6,350-horse power, just sold by private con. tract. Private letters received at Portsmouth from the cadet training ship Britannia, stationed at Dart month, state the fever was raging on board, and that several cadets had already fallen victims to it, and among others the young Count de Metaxes. Sixty continuous service men are under orders to be forwarded this morning from the flagship Fis gard, at Woolwich, to join her Majesty's coastguard ship Majestic, Capt. Inglefield, at Liverpool, for service. Some con'ticlerable delay has been experienced itt " laying down the keel of Mr. Reed's new iron ship Pallas about to be commenced at Woolwich, in con sequence of her length (225 ft) exceeding that of the slip on which she is to be built. The work is now in progress for the extension of the shed, about 49ft. beyond its originil length, and also for laying down a solid base of concrete and other material for in creasing the length of the slip. The whole of the keel is in readiness, as wall as a large portion of her framework of ash and Italian oak, and on the re lease of the Caledonia from the Victoria Docks to morrow, the shipwrights and others, 350 in num ber, employed on her will be transferred to the pre paration of the Pallas. Tho following appointments were made yesterday :—Lieut. George IL Hope to the F at al t c h o e n A ; d L m ie ir u a t l . t t y he Hon. Edward S.

[Attvzunsmirom-] — Piolloway's Ointment and Pills.— Bad breasts wounds, and sores of all kinds may be deo rolghly healed by the application of this ointment to the parts affected, after they have been duly fomented with warm water. The discharge should not be checked at once but rather encouraged, for such sudden check must of course always be dangerous. Nature is the noblest of physicians, and must not be opposed, but seconded. All sores are fora time the safety valves of the constitution, and should not be defied or healed until they assume a healthier character. Under the action of this powerful ointment, aided by the pills, the depraved humours of the body will be quickly removed. • 111ISS KAVANAGH'6 NEW NOVEL.
