The recent advices from the United States represent a r il dition of financial affairs which has an important , s ea ring on the money markets of other countrie s . Two eculiar causes are in operation to produce an unusual e t ience, and although one of them is of a m ore local a racter than the other, they are both of sufficient ,s itude to occasion striking results. Until recently, the l aws of New York have required the various bank instit • utions of the State to publish their accounts of Via e _ u ilities and assets only once every three months. T h e o „2 6 equences, however, were found to be such as to ne f"assitate a reform. No system could have been more l i p arable for gamblers, or more hurtful to the regular t j 411 sactions of commerce. Within a few weeks of the der °d of the issue of their statements, the bank s, in or to to exhibit a position of great safety, were accusto med call in a large proportion of their loans ; and as soon as zo_ the necessity was over, they would then again accom- I rate their customers with greater liberality than ever. h 'nee a quarterly panic in the stock-market, followed on ce equally violent rebound, was an event always to be th is knowledge, and speculators of large means, acting upon 'newledge, could realise profits with a degree of cer taintyf that afforded a singular illustration of the blindness 'w t he smaller dabblers among the general public, who re invariably its victims. To remedy this a new tI W . has l a t e ly b e en passed, which came into force re " 9th of the present month, and which requires from "' e h bank, for the future, weekly instead of the quarterly publications. The last intelligence from New 4 ork reached to t h e 18th i n st., and by confirming the anticipations as to the effect to be produced by the first T he of this measure demonstrate d its usefulness. h e same rapid steps of contraction h ad been p ursued byd the several institutions preparatory to t he a pp ointed a Y as had been witnessed previou sl y on the approach nf each quarterly period. The rate of discount even on " e hest commercial paper was suddenly raised, the quo tation of exchange on England d eclined so as to check t he amount of specie remittance s, advances on all kinds (/', securities were required to be repaid, and even mint notes against deposits of bullion were sold at a con siderable discount to av oid the few days' delay before ,', ll eir amount in coin c ould be obtained, a simultane ous fall of 5 to 15 per, cent. in all except the most established securities being likewise reported. From t his time, however, no such con vulsions can recur. The returns of each bank being made from week to ' W eek eannot admit of sudden fluctuations, and there will be no inducement beyond such as the fair course of the market may offer to vary the amount of accom kndation to the commercial public. After this date, t herefore, as far as mere bank regulations bear on the ( inestien a more steady state of affairs may be expected and the causes of the momentary pressure being recog nised, a return of confidence can, be relied upon. The other circumstance, however, which is now affect mg the American money markets is far more general 431(1 permanent in its influence, and is one that will re quire to be taken into account even in the calculations that have lately excited attention regarding the move ments of specie throughout the world. When the Na -43nal Bank system, on account of its having been made 4 , Political instrument, was abolished in the United "Mates 15 years ago, the Government resolved to trust nn banks whatever, and a law was adopted requiring all Ynients on account of revenue to be made in specie, -" being provided that the funds thus received shonld be d eposited in sub-treasuries belong in g to the State. while the disbursements of the nation were equal, or nearly s o , to its receipts, this plan produced little incon lenience, although even at those times, as the incomings a nd outgoings were not always simultaneous, a die klirbing effect would be produced on the money mar et by a large sum being accumulated for a few weeks, ~,,a n d the n poured forth in one or two extensive pay ments. But since the introduction of the reduced tariff, 111 1846, the Customs duties h ave g one on y ielding in- Z t eased totals, until a surplus h as been hoarded u p of ex .aordinary magnitude. Its total, according to returns Lust made, is now equal to about 4,500,0001. or tr n °°,ooo/. sterling ; and w hen the fact is borne in mind :at this heavy sum, which would, according to ordi :,l? notions, be an ample basis for a circulation of „ 4 'ee times its amount, is actually lying idle and unre sZsented in the Government vaults so as to be virtu h,Y in the same position, as regards any effect it can k "ve on the world, as if it were at the bottom of the h ea, an idea will be arrived at of the important element l A, t ile questions regarding the counteracting circum atlices in connection with the recent production of gold, f the effect that may at any time be produced by a, attire • tio e influx. At some not distant day the appropria ohn and disbursement of this surplus will be decided Boated. But, will create effects such as few have contem , to lt ‘ e d. But, meanwhile, the accumulation can only oort On increasing. The revenue receipts of the t r .;, 1 1 311 7, owing to the' extraordinary prosperity of duetare augmenting month by month, and in that u ended—namely, July—they exceeded any sum e 45. received for a similar period. The enlargement f ar - , Year of the sub-treasury hoard will, therefore, be to beyond the original estimate. It is true the Secre las? of the Treasury, according to the advices by the th e ' Packet, has, with the view of reducing it, exercised th e Powers vested in him for applying these funds to hi® _extinction of the Federal debt, and has advertised aro ,f,adiness to purchase a sum of United States Sixes, hri to 1,000,000/. sterling. Much of this ' stock, we ver, is held in Europe, and the price at home also 811C11 as to render it doubtfu l if the bid will prove en,,., Zessful. Just to the extent of the p urchase will be d - amount of specie liberated, and this specie will pro eZep.inst the same effect as if it had been dug up in k at ' °r ,nia or Australia ; but if no sellers of United di ti es securities should be found on the proposed con ty ° Os, the evil must go on until it shall be terminated a oro 'gislative appropriations for public works, or by Ari:lncrease of national expenditure, such as would Zin te n n a war or a purchase of foreign territory.— t'ity Article. tr z T R E RARVEST IN THE NORTH OF ENG kD fi n . — ew p a t ", Aug. 24.—We have had remarkably Z..sather during the past month, and, consequently, the h e ather has commenced about a fortnight earlier heat than e A predicted. Several fields of beautiful n Cut throughout the county of Durham during the Past seven or eight days, and in several districts nthe e pro will be soon ready for the sickle, In conseque th. us cold, bleak weather being protra . cted into May ah !: year, spring wheat will be late, and in the Teesdale_ Weardale districts oats look very green. Barley ta °4 u s well, and it seems the general opinion---though th at has been expressed previously to the contrary — he if this weather holds out, the crop of cereals will 4 fair average. Winter wheat will be very sound.. ti on , rni Ps need rain. The harvest has also commenced in efa —ef the districts of Tyneside, and reports speak kr?orably of the progress of the crops in the southern it sicu of Northumberland. Farming operations are BEATug in North Yorkshire. H op GENERAL MONTHOLON.—The Debats an- Air "‘:es in a single line the death of General Count de -o ntholon in Paris.

ALLEGED UNLAWFUL BARGAINING FOR AN . EAST INDIA APPOINTMENT. Yesterday having been appointed as the day on which the Lord Mayor was to deliver his decision in the matter of the charge preferred by the directors of the East India Company against Mr. Norman Wilkinson, of having been concerned with a person whose name is unknown in the trafficking for the appointment in the gift of the East India Company, the justice-room of the Mansion-house was densely crowded, as on the former occasions, with members of the Stock Exchange, mer chants, and other persons of influence in the iCRy. Messrs. Lawford appeared as solicitors to the East India Company, with Mr. Clarkson as their counsel. The defendant was represented by Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Hawkins ; and Mr. Willes appeared on the part of Mr. W. A. Wilkinson, the brother of the defendant. The Lord Mayor delivered the following judgment : This is a proceeding instituted by the East India Com pany under the 49th George 111., chapter 126, which constitutes the negociation for the purchase and sale of civil and military appointments under a company a mis demeanour. I have heard the evidence for the prosecu tion, because, under the 11th and 12th Vict. c. 42, it was my duty so to do, seeing that the accusedcarried by this inion that I have having heard this evidence, I am of o p no jurisdiction to proceed further with theca cse. No evidence has been brought forward topr th withi at n the transactions charged as an offence took place the City, and in my opinion this is indispensable to give me jurisdiction to act further than I have done. suffi I do not mean, by saying this, to have it implied that - cient evidence has been given to satisfy me that the offence has been committed if it had taken place within my jurisdiction. I am not called upon to express an ties have borne to ti opinion upon this point. All par mony to the honour and integrity as well of the gentle man against whom the summons has been obtained as of Mr. Wilkinson, upon whose evidence it has been sought to establish the charge. I entirely concur in the opinions thus expressed ; and it is due to the defen dant that I should say, whatever construction the law might have put upon the conduct, of this gentleman, if it had been proved that this treaty, as far as it went, was conducted in the City of London, I am quite satisfied that, until apprised by a friend such a proceeding was illegal, he was not conscious of it ; and that, as soon as [he discovered that it was so, he retired from any parti cipation in it. Mr. Clarkson said the remaining portion of his duty was of a much more painful character ; for he had to submit that his lordship was called upon to commit Mr. William Arthur Wilkinson, under the 16th section of the 11th and 12th Vint., cap. 42, for seven days, for his contumacious contempt of this Court. That act authorised the justice, if he shall be satisfied by the testimony of credible persons that a witness who has a material evidence to give on the part of the prosecution, and who is not willing, or in the language of the section of the act, " will not voluntarily appear for the purpose of being examined as a witness at t he time, and place appointed for the examination of witnesses against the accused," to commit such person for ,the time above specified: The learned counsel entered at considerable length into the law affecting the case. Mr. Willes then addressed the court on behalf of Mr. W. A. Wilkinson, and said he could not avoid charging the East India Company with acting in a vindictive as well as in an unfounded manner with reference to the transaction in question. So far from his client and friend deserving the character which had been given to him, of being an unwilling and a hostile witness, he had attended when called upon to appear, and had stated everything he knew relative to the alleged negociation between his brother and the party whose name had not transpired. All that he had refused to do was to dis close the name of that party ; and any person who did not feel some degree of unwillingness in being brought forward to give evidence upon a criminal charge affecting so near a relative as a brother must be totally void of feeling. The part which his (the learned counsel's) client had taken in the transaction, so far from being discre ditable to him, and only worthy of being characterised as a subterfuge, would redound to his honour and credit to the latest period of his existence. The learned counsel then proceeded at considerable length to argue the law of the case, and submitted that there was nothing in the act of Parliament which would justify the Lord Mayor in acceding to the application. Mr. Clarkson, in reply, observed that his learned friend had gone a little out of his way to impute to the gentle men who were prosecutors a spirit of vindictiveness ; he regretted the tone that had been adopted, because Mr. William Arthur Wilkinson was the very last per son who ought to complain of the conduct of the East India Company. Mr. Wilkinson had been the source of a most grievous and scandalous libel against the Board of Directors of that company, in the great council of the nation, and, when called apon as a witness, had chosen to prevent the company from having the only opportunity which the public justice of the country afforded them of proving the falsehood of the assertions which he had made. The Lord Mayor—ln regard to the application to me to commit Mr. W. A. Wilkinson, for refusing to divulge the name of the party who made the proposition to his brother, lam of opinion that entirely, fails. This is a special application under the powers conferred' by the 16th section of the act. The section requires, as the foundation for the summons, that there are grounds for believing that the witness is likely to give material evi dence, and will not voluntarily attend. Mr. W. Wil kinson's conduct disposes of this altogethe.. He has always voluntarily attended upon every occasion, and has been examined to the material question put to him to determine whether I had jurisdiction. He has frankly answered, and if, from the want of a venue in which the act is stated to have taken place, I have no power to commit, I think, however, the witness has reasonable ground for the course pursued. The summons was then dismissed. The following is the correspondence that passed be tween the directors of the East India Company and the Messrs. W. A. and Norman Wilkinson. The two first documents were objected to, and not received in evi dence.

M'Carron, Roman Catholic Archdea con of Derry, who was tried and acquitted at the last Londonderry Assizes, on a charge of inciting some sol diers of the 54th Regiment to disobey the commands of their officers. It appears that the rev. gentleman, whilst celebrating mass, at twelve o'clock, on Sunday last, at Waterside Chapel, Londonderry, was suddenly taken ill with an attack of apoplexy, and gradually be came worse until between seven and eight o'clock in the afternoon, when he expired. "My son," said a doting father who was about taking his son into business, " what shall be the style of the new firm ?" " Well, governor," said the one•and-twenty youth, looking up into the heavens to find an answer, " I don't know ; but suppose we have It John H. Sam plin and Father." The old gentleman was struck by the originality of the idea, but could not adopt it. i o THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 26, 1853. SPURTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S—THURSDAY. A remarkably thin attendance, and very little busi ness transacted. Enough, however, was done to show that the favourite for the St. Leger was not so firm as his backers could wish, although 500 to 400 and 100 to 80 were laid on him at the commencement ; yet, towards the close, 6 to 5 would have been taken to some money " that he does not win." Sittingbourne, meanwhile, had an advancing tendency. After 5 to 1 had been laid to upwards of 3001. offers of 9 to 2 found acceptors ; 200 to 50 was taken once, but 9 to 2 was the closing price. Bto 1 was laid to 501. agst Cineas. 6to 1 would have been taken about Rataplan. Further comment is unnecessary. ST. LEGER. sto 4 on .

DERBY RACES (YESTERDAY). The rain to-day did not prevent a large attendance of spectators. Owing to a mistake in the weighing of Pastrycook's jockey, the races were delayed some time.

He therefore disfranchised the interests of tho people and in favour of every corrupt measure brought forward by a Tory Minister, whilst at the same time he rescued Scotland, being a great rotten bo rough, to be so independent, that I will tell you the result of what Scotland did at the late change of Ministry. It is this—ln fact, were it not for Scotland, you'would have had and c rd ihi D s Derby ow ea n gues i r n s pz us er d . a ( a C m he u er u s w .) uo W mi h n e g n v L er7 ord John r ohn to the present times—within a few months) her Majesty was advised, I think very wisely, to see what they could do, to send for Lord Derby. Lord Derby went to Buckingham Palace, and he was empowered by her Majesty to form an Administration. Lord Derby having received this com mission, went from Buckingham Palace to a house in Park lane, where resided a gentleman distinguished by the bril liancy, the fluency, and the acrimony of his eloquence. I do not believe that he is of the Jewish persuasion himself; but this I do know that, paternally and maternally, he belongs to the Israelitish nation. lam not at all illiberal with respect to that ; I have voted and will vote for re lieving the Jews from their disabilities ; I merely state the fact, that to this eloquent member of Parliament was intrusted that great essential maxim of our liberties and taxation—to him was intrusted the carrying out of that principle, that no subject of her Majesty should be taxed without his own con sent through his representatives in Parliament. The Derby Administration was formed. Mr. Disraeli was entrusted with the most important responsibility in the country; as Chancellor of the Exchequer he had the whole responsi bility of the immense taxation, the revenue and the ex penditure of the United Kingdom, everything from the salary of the Prime Minister down to the mere wages of the letter-carrier. With regard to the ,personnel of the toerity Adininisfintion; there we're several very eicelleht men in it. I must do that Administration the justice to say, that with regard to their legal appointments, never were there more able or better men, probably, with one or two exceptions. Their Lord Chancellor was the greatest Equity lawyer that this country ever had at the head of the Court of Chancery. He had long determined that he would do away with the delays and iniquities of that op pressive, vexatious, and interminable Court. Their At torney-General for England, and their Attorney and Soli citor-General for Ireland, were all eminent, and I believe as honest, lawyers as ever lived. (Cheers.) With regard to the Home Department, I must pay a just tribute to Mr. Walpole ; and a fair tribute also to the Colonial-office. With regard to our foreign relations, however, I do not think the Earl of Malmesbury was to be trusted ; his lean ings being altogether towards absoutism, as allihis negotia tions prove. I will say nothing about the minor appoint ments further than this—that some of them were exceed ingly discreditable—men who were appointed to do the dirty work of a Protectionist Government. Very well, they entered on power. They met the Parliament which then existed. It was necessary for the Chancellor of the Exchequer to bring forward a budget. Lord Derby, in the House of Peers, still declared himself a Protectionist —predicted ruin to the country if we persisted in the Free-trade system ; Mr. Disraeli was rather more cautious in the - House of Commons ,• but his colleagues, when they went to be re-elected, still de clared themselves Protectionists. We found we could not put our trust in them. However, it was necessary, as I ' have stated, to bring forward a budget, and Mr. Disraeli did produce a financial scheme, which he brought forward with very great ability—extraordinary ability. He was cheered by the House of Commons—he was eulogised by the press, and generally praised out of doors. Out of regard to the peculiar circumstances of the Government, we passed all the estimates without a division. As Chancellor of the Excheque, Mr. Disraeli got gloriously through the budget and the estimates for the remaining part of the session. But i t is painful this o subject.revert to certain elt D al isra nC e i l liell h lll ad con nectedpreviously s ious with stated that Sir Robert Peel's administration had surprised the Whigs when they were bathing, had stolen their clothes, and came into office wearing their garments. Un fortunately the budget which Mr. Disraeli brought forward was not his own. It had been previously prepared. The Army Estimates were prepared by Mr. Fox Maule, now : Lord Panmure ; Mr. Disraeli found them at the Horse Guards. The Navy Estimates were prepared by Sir Fran- : cis Baring : Mr. Disraeli found them at the Admiralty. : The Ordnance Estimates were prepared by General Anson: I Mr. Disraeli found them in Pall Mall. The Colonial Esti- 1 mates had been prepared by Lord Grey : Mr. Disraeli 4 found them in the cul de sac at the bottom of Downing 4 Street. The Estimates for the Miscellaneous and Contin- ' gent Expenditure were prepared by Sir Charles Wood and. 4 the Lords of the Treasury; Mr. Disraeli found them corn- 1 fortably folded up within red tape in his uew residence at 1 the Exchequer ;so that he at all events had discovered the I old clothes of others that had been there before him. Lord 1 Derby, in the House of Peers, declared himself still for 1 Protection—he said the country had thriven under Pro- 1 tection : that the prosperity we had enjoyed for some ] years past was purely accidental, in consequence of our having had good harvests and other circumstances which • he stated. Mr. Disraeli stated the same in the House of i Commons—still adhering to Protection. They then said we will dissolve Parliament; we will go to the country: we will 1 abide by its verdict, in full confidence that we shall have 1 a majority to' enable us to govern the country upon Pro tectionist principles. They did dissolve Parliament ; and i they went to the elections. Never was there so mnch in- ( trigne, never was there so much immorality practised as 4 at those elections ; yet notwithstanding all that, when : Parliament met afterwards, such was the good sense of the people—so great the benefits they had derived under free I trade, full employment, from the great prosperity of manufactures and commerce, with all the advantages of being fed, better clothed, and better sheltered than they had been before—they sent a large and decided majority to the House of Commons in favour of free trade. (Cheers.) On the 4th of Nov., 1852, Parliament met. In the mean time, the Duke of Wellington having departed this life at Walmer, on the 12th of that month, Mr. Disraeli, in the House of Commons communicated a message from her Majesty, intimating that it was her Majesty's gracious wish that the Duke of Wellington should have a public funeral at the expense of the country. On that occasion. the Chancellor of the Exchequer delivered a brilliant ora tion worthy of Fenelon or Massilon, to the memory of the illustrious departed hero. But if the shade of the Duke of Wellington had been present it must have shuddered to have heard laisfuneral oration was not that of an Englishman but of a Frenchman. It was an oration delivered over a French General who was buried some years before at Pere la Chaise, every word of all its immortelles, and all by that witty, sparkling French statesman, known as the author of several romances which he calls histories. It was an oration by M. Theirs—(a laugh)—at the grave of General St. Cyr. These were stolen goods at all events. (Loud cheers.) A few days afterwards, the Free-traders and others in the House of Commons were determined to bring the Derby-Disraeli Government at once to declare s t v ha il t li o e f rs fr w ee as tr e a n d tru e asnteddLwiibteh -1 ar w ar h le e pso t ri h l e un r ctii t po h ni ei sst r o ; paonllcty is wasquite and Mr. this effect, that "free trade is just, wise, and beneficial " I true that the Derby Govern ment obstructed us, but they themselves were compelled to declare, both in the House of Peers and in the House of . Commons, that a return to Protection was an impossibility ; and we carried Mr. Villiers' resolution that " free trade is just, wise, and beneficial," all the members of the Derby Government, and even Sir Robert Inglis, going out into lcb to ear be i s the lobby with us. We therefore settled the question of free trade for ever. Then came the question of the politi cal integrity and morality of the Derby Government. Mr. Disraeli had declared—l believe, as a disappointed man— that. the Government of Sir Robert Peel was " an organ ised hypocrisy." The country, fortunately, thought other wise. They considered the measures he brought forward wore practical, were consistent with the circumstances and necessities of the times, that his free trade measures espe cially were permanent realities. We then began to think that Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli and their colleagues, having for ten previous years resisted every thing like the appearance of free trade and Liberal sentiments—having declared, on coming into power, that their policy should be to arrest the dangerous progress of democracy, which was undermining the institutions of the country, and admit of no system of education, except that which should be strictly and indissolubly connected with the Established Church of England, we began to think that the proper designation of the Derby-Disraeli Govern ment was a great political immorality. (Cheers.) We, the Liberal members of the House of Commons—and I am glad to say there were none more Liberal than certain members of the Peel Government, both as regards civil and political liberty, as well as that connected with our com mercial and industrial operations—we, the liberal members, were determined to bring them to the test. We knew very well that Mr. Disraeli must now, at length, bring forward a budget of his own. He had to fulfil some pledges of his , colleagues. The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, for instance, addressing the electors of North Lincolnshire, said that he was still a Protectionist—that Lord Derby was a Protectionist —that Mr. Disraeli was the great leader of the Protectionists—and then there was their veracious Soli tor-General, in addressing the electors of East Suffolk, said " we are going back to Protection as before—give us power and we will do it." The country, ho said, had been de ceived by Sir R. Peel—the country was still Conservative. Mr. Forbes Mackenzie said the same thing. There were rather blacker things done at Derby and other elections. Well, Mr. Disraeli did brin g in his budget. It did con tain some good things P • and he certainly put the best things in the front. I admit at once that his proposals with re spect to merchant shipping, by taking off the various re strictions as to the manning of our ships, and other parts of that measure, were quite equal to that passed by the present Government. But in admitting that, I am obliged to stop. The rest of the budget, if it were his own d get, which I can hardly conceive—from his really well known abilities, I should say it was forced on him—for it exhibited so great a want of financial sagacity, with such an utter ignorance of the sentiments and interests of the coun try, that I can only regard it as the last expiring effort of a desperate party. He proposed, in order to relieve the agri cultural interest, to take off half the malt tax, sacrificing two millions and a half of revenue. Now, if the duty could have been altogether abolished, it might have been very well ; but taking away one half of it wou ld, practi cally: speaking, have given no relief to the agricultural in terest. terest.

(Cheers.) Let not Scotland forget that we (From the Glasgow Constitutional of August 24. ) On Monday evening, Mr. John Macgregor, 11l P., one of the representatives of the city of Glasgow, met his consti tuents in the City Hall, for the purpose of giving an ac count of his stewardship, in fulfilment of a promise to that effect, given by the honourable gentleman at the late elec tion. On the platform we observed, amongst other gentle men,e J. Smith, Bailies Gilmour, and J. W. M a cgregor ; Councillors 11l Moir, Couper, and 'Adam ; Messrs. Peter Mackintosh, Paton, G. Ross J. W./Warn, J. Clark, Wm. Ross,iJ. Murchi M`Grego r M'lntosh, Rowland Hill. The galleries were well filled, and there was a large atten dance in the body of the hall. On the motion of Councillor MADAM, Bailie J. W. Macgregor was unanimously called to the chair. Bailie MACGREGOR, on being called to the chair, said — Fellow-citizens, it is with pl easure I re spond to your de sire that I should take the chair on this occasion. I could have wished it had fallen into abler hands ; but on account of my immediate connection with Mr. Macgregor, as chair man of his committee at the late election, it behoves me to rnn defer at once to your wishe s , t rus ti ng to your indulgence terminationt o e in honourable bg theto ourselves and of this agreeable meetingto to ou a r representative. It is un necessary f or m e to detain the meeting by any statement as to its object. You are all aware of this from the public notice given in the papers. I will only state, to prevent misconception, that Mr. Mac gregor, while on his canvass and at public meetings during the late election, stated, that if returned again for Glas gow, he would consider it his duty to appear amongst you annually, and at his earliest convenience, after the close of. ,the seasipn„ to render an account, of his stewardship. Mr. MacgregOr appears before yip. night for that purpose ; and it must be gratifying to ts all that be is enabled to mingle thus early amongst us, in perfect health, after such an arduous and important session, to inform uswhat has been done, and what maybe expected, and what should be done. I know you will give Mr. Mac gregor an attentive and a patient hearing. The details connected with finance, law, and commerce, may be dry to some, but the subject is an important one for the welfare of the people ; and when you hear of this from the mouth of one of your representatives, it will give you more inte rest, so that if your assistance is required you will aid your representatives in bringing matters of importance before the State, for if both the representative and the repre sented go firmly united to have their grievances redressed, it will require a perverse government indeed to withstand them. (Cheers.) I have further to congratulate you in having a representative that honourably and respectfully thus comes before you, the. your intercourse may be strengthened. I trust this gocki example of confidence may have its effect upon other members and other co nstituencies, but remember many eyes are upon you, and I do hope and trust that the business of this meeting may so terminate that Mr. Macgregor may have pleasure in renewing his pledge, and that the great cause of social progress—of civil and religious liberty—may be advanced at such meetings as the present, conducted in a spirit of mutual forbearance. Allow me, then, without further remark, to introduce to you Mr. Macgregor, for whom I crave a kind and an atten tive hearing. (Cheers.) Mr. MACGREGOR, M.P., who was loudly cheered, said — Mr. Chairman and fellow-citizens. I now appear before you in fulfilment of a promise which I considered it a duty to make when you did me the honour of returning me a second time to represent you in the Parliament of the United Kingdom. (Cheers.) I consider it a debt of gra titude upon my part to come before you immediately after the close of a mast important session, to give you not only an account of my own stewardship, but also to make some statements, which I trust may be instructive, with regar d to past a d m i n istrations, and with regard to the present Government of this mighty empire. I perfectly agree with what has been stated by your excellent chairman, that a re presentative ought to come in communication with his con stituents; that he would be unworthy of your kindness and the trust devolved upon him if he had not the resolution, the honesty, andt he candour to come and meet you at the end of each session of Parliament, to submit to you what he has done as your representative and subject himself to your inquiries and your questeionings. (Cheers.) The most solemn trust which Legislate privileged to enjoy is that of sending to the great re of this country men in whom you have confidence—men, who, you believe will do that justice which your interests demand, which is required by the general welfare—entrusted, as they are, with the making of laws that will not onl y your posterity from gene ration to generation. ( Cheers.) Depend upon it that the right of electin g a re p resentative is not only a moral but a religious obligation, which you ought to discharge honestly, freely, fully, dispassionately ; beyond almost any other obligation, it involves every one of your civil, political , and religious rights. Therefore, as I have already said, in gratitude and in justice bound, I have come before you to endeavour to give an account of my stewardship, and to make some cursory statements with regard to the administration of the different Govern ments of this country for the last few years ; and with re gard to the legislation of the past session ; a legislation which has been of the greatest, the utmost importance, and the results of which I do say, fearlessly and hopefully, will be of the utmost advantage to the progress of civil and religious liberty within these realms. (.Cheers.) As I will have several statements to make, as I trust these state ments, which are all based upon truth and experience, may be of some little use to my constituents, and being ad dressed to a constituency of so much importance as that of the city of Glasgow, I hope you will bear with me, and ex tend to me a little of your gracious patience. Before pro ceeding further, I wish to make one premise, and it is a maxim of vital importance in everything connected with our free constitution—a maxim without which no govern ment can exist—a maxim without the due observance of which no public, no civil, no political, no religions liberty can endure. It is a principle that was first secured to the people of England by the great contract of liberty that the barons and freemen of Eng land exerted from a tyrant—that was afterwards con firmed by the two most remarkable statutes frequently quoted by one of the present Ministers of the Crown, I mean Lord John Russell - that was confirmed by the sta tutes of 25th and 34th of Edward 1., that no freeman, no fiber homo, should be taxed. without his free consent, through his representative in Parliament. (Cheers.) Now, that great maxim of our constitution appears ex ceedingly simple ; but I could prove to you that without that maxim you would enjoy no liberty whatever within this realm—the principle that no man should be taxed except with his own consent, through his representative i n Parliament. The violation of that great and sacred maxim by Charles I. led him into these fatal errors which cost him his life. Forty-eight years afterwards, when the people invited William of Orange to England, before they would consent, as they foolishly did with Charles 11., to his ascending the throne of these realms, the Convention Parliament of Lords and Commons insisted on his agree ing: and signing and swearing to that solemn deed and covenant called the Bill of Right, in which were embodied the Magna Charta, the acts of Edward 1., that celebrated bill that was passed by the Long parliament, the Petition of Right, in which all the great bulwarks of British liberty were embodied—emb o d y i ng also one of th e most sacred laws that ever existed in any country in the world, and which only- exists where the English language is known—viz., in England and America —I mean the Habeas Corpus Act, by which n o man can be deprived of his liberty unless just cause be shown for his incarcera tion. I trust you will not consider me tedious in making these few preliminary observations. Upon this rests everything that we enjoy —on this depends the liberty of the Press, our civil, religious, and all other liberties ; for if we were to give up to the:prown or to the House of Peers the power of taxation, the power of illegal im prisonment, the deprivation of liberty which exists in other countries, you would be slaves to the Crown and to hereditary jurisdiction. (Cheers.) Having made these preliminary observations— having made them advisedly, and I wish them to be undestood well by the country—for we do not always speak out as we oug ht to do in Glasgow—l do and , many of my friends do but with a population so great, so wealthy, so en terprising, and so intelligent, I say, not only in this but in all other respects, the voice of Glasgow, as a great component por tion of the empire, ought to be heard. (Cheers.) I now Come to the more modern and matter-of-fact portion of the statements I have to make to you.. And I must go back to the time when you first did me the honour of electing me one of the representatives of this great city. The party then in power, the Whig party, were considered ex tremely strong in consequence o f their great family al liances—the relationships subsisting among those who held power at that period., Far be it from me to say or do anything against any individual members of the Govern ment of 1847 ; but still I am compelled to speak the truth obligations in a moral and political sense, not only to you, but, as every public man does, to the country. For some time past, but eeciall in 1851, that Government began to grow weak before the country. The House of Commons, and, I 'believe, the public generally, became weary of the Whig Government. In fact, the House of Commons did not like to see ten or twelve highly respectable noblemen and gentlemen, ruling the whole country, inasmuch as with one or two exceptions they all stood with respect to each other as brothers-in-law, sons-in-law, uncles, nephews, cousins ; and, in fact, a mong themselves, they were an exceedingly happy family. (Cheers and laughter.) But the happy family unfortu nately did not enjoy the confidence of the House of Com mons nor the confidence of the country. The country thought they liked their ease. The country thought that men who would do more with regard to the progress of re form were necessary. It is quite true that in that Govern ment there was a statesman, a favourite of the House of Commons. From his kindly nature, he was respected and loved in his domestic relations and with those who en joyed his hospitality—he was a man loved, respected, and. trusted by all. The Prime Minister of the day had stated, "he is not the Minister of Russia —he is not the Minister of Austria—he is not the Minister of France —he is the Minister of England." (Cheers.) He had no relations in the Cabinet—he had no brother-in-law, no father-in-law, no uncle in the Cabinet—it was determined to get rid of him, they dismissed him very unceremoniously under the pretext of having had an indiscreet conversation with the French Ambassador, Count Walewski. This occurred on the 4th December, 1851, two days after what was called the coup d'etat in Paris. On the 17th of the same month he was dismissed without any notice what ever. That statesman was Lord Palmerston—(cheers)—in whom the House of Commons had confidence —the man who always held up his voice against the despotism of continental Europe. The pretence was a conversation he had held with the French Ambassador. I know what the real cause was; but it would be indelicate f6r hie to un veil the secret—now he is in the Government it would be useless. Very well, the House of Commons and the country saw, from the moment the only popular element in that Government was left out, that the downfall of the Ministry was inevitable. Some time afterwards, the Government entertaining very extraordinary apprehen sions of being attacked, invaded, and ruined by France, brought forward various measures for the protection of the country. I don't say they were not in some degree pru dent. A Militia Bill was brought forward. Lord Pal merston, who had been in the W u before, and had g reat experience, thought, because it was to be a Local Militia Bill, such a force would be extremely pernicious in every town with regard to morality, and he moved an amendment and carried it. The Ministry were in a mi nority, on the following day they resigned, and the com pact Government was broken up for ever. (Cheers.) In making these observations, as I have already stated, far be it from me to make any invidious charge against any member of that Government. However much I may blame them, I cannot forget the service which Lord John Russell rendered to the country. (Loud cheers.) I cannot forget that it was: throu gh his exertions that the repeal of the Tests and Corporation Acts was carried 26 years ago. I cannot forget that ho was one of the principal actors in ca rrying the Reform Bill—which I considered very imperfect, yet a groat march in the progress of reform—l mean the Reform Bill of 1832. (Hear.) He was certainly the most active of those men who carried that bill—a bill that disfranchised 58 boroughs in England, returning each two members to Parliament, although their whole popula tion did not amount to that of the Barony parish. He also reduced the number of members sent by. other 30 boroughs from two to one—all of these sending two members to Par- did that. Fora long period both civil and religions liberty considered a most satisfactory bill, both in its bearing on has been sustained by the determined moral and political civil and religious liberty and the satisfactory government courage of Seotchmen ; and when I state to you this offi- of Canada.

Lord J. Russell had temporarily taken charge of Foreign Affairs, which it was understood he would give up to Lord Clarendon, who had not taken office—Lord John then to continue leader of the House of Commons, with out office. Shortly afterwards Mr. Gladstone brought for ward some of his financial proposals. By his first he pro posed, in consequence of the great abundance of money, to convert a certain portion of the national debt, and especially that very anomalous portion the South Sea Annuities, into a'consolidated debt that would be less expensive, being at a lower interest to the country, thus saving from 1,000,000 to 200,0001. a year. I did not exactly agree with the manner in which he did that, at least as to a portion of it ; but still it would have saved money to the country, and it has. It has not been so successful as was expected, because we, at that time, had no idea of a disturbance of the peace of Europe, in consequence of the difference between Turkey and Russia. Then, at that time we had no unfavourable prospect of a deficient harvest. Men in consequence did not invest moneyfor a long period with tbe same confidence they might otherwise have done ; yet, so far as it had gone, the measure bad been a saving to the country. But the great measure was Mr. Gladstone's financial scheme. He brought forward a budget, which I say without hesitation, is the greatest ever presented to the country. (Cheers.) In the first place, he went thoroughly and fully into the whole of our national obligations—he went fully and thoroughly into every branch of taxation. He grappled boldly with that which no Ministry in this country ever had the courage to contend with—the extension of the tax always exacted on succession to personalty, to landed property. His calcula tions with regard to that tax had, I believe, been made with groat care—to my knowledge he had applied his mind to financial subjects for some years. When I speak of Mr. Gladstone before this assembly and before the country, I speak from personal knowledge of him, having acted under him for some years in office. We had daily intercourse while he was Vice-President, afterwards President of the Board of Trade, and I was chief secretary, and consequently intrusted with all the important affairs of that department. I saw he studied during that period everything con nected with our commercial legislation. Instead of being bigoted as a )politician, in religious or in civil affairs, I found he had thrown off all the little pre judices of youth—l found that he was a man who had determined to do everything that he considered commer cially, financially, and morally right—and I knew that he moment he took office I and others might place confidence in him. (Cheers.) His calculation with regard to the succession duties was in substance, not in his more lucid words, this—l shall probably, during the first 15 months, get from 2,000,0001. to 2,500,0001.—it will eventually pro duce 3,000,0001. a year. I am looking forward to the falling in of the terminable annuities in 1860 • from the conse quent diminished expenditure of 4,000,0001., and the in creased revenue from this source, I shall be enabled to do a good deal. In the first place, in the excise department I am pressed to abolish the soap duties, yielding 1,000,0001. I am advised not to meddle with it at all unless I abolish it altogether.. It is a tax on cleanliness and health ; very well, I will abolish it altogether ; because, if I allow the exciseman to remain for the purpose of collecting my duty I shall prevent the extension of the manufacture ; I shall nearly double the price ; I shall prevent the poorer classes getting all the advantages of c!eanliness and salubrity ; but I shall be doing more, I shall prevent the extension of the African trade in palm oil, and prevent Britain from being the greatest soap producing country in the world. (Cheers.) Then lam called on also to reduce the duty on tea. I should bo happy to abolish it altogether, because I consider ip should be as free a beverage as water is now : and, to use the language of a gentleman from this city, to whom he said it, instead of the people drinking slightly stained water as they now do, I want them to drink good wholesome strong tea. He adopted the amendment that was proposed to Mr. Disraeli—l proposed he should reduce the duty from 2s. 21d. to ls. in three years ; I should like to do it immediately ; but deriving a revenue of 5,900,0301; from tea, he could not do it at once, inasmuch as there is only one market to produce the article, while many other are (competitors for it. He reduced it in three years to one shilling per pound. He then brought forward mea -1 sures long contemplated. He said there are 227 articles now subjected to Customs duties. They don't produce a very large revenue ; they are a great restriction on com merce and trade. The collection of this revenue, too, is attended with great vexation, dispute, and litigation, even more than the revenue on larger articles. He therefore abolished the duty altogether on these 227 articles. (Hear.) These duties included many on the raw material of manu factures ; all the remaining articles of food being now re lieved of duty-, except eggs, on which the duty is merely nominal, to enable an account to be kept. Then we had a good deal of discussion on the taxation upon knowledge. I wished them abolished altogether; but taking into consi deration the state of the revenue, and believing that a progressive reduction was better than none at all, I came to the conclusion that it would be well if we could this session repeal the duty on advertisements, and look to the next and following year to abolish the excise on paper ; because he made up his mind that in all cases where the excise'were concerned, with the single exception of spirits, if touched at all the duty should be abolished. As to the advertisement duty some objection was made ; there were a few men in the Govern ment who wanted to retain the 6d. I voted against its retention. We beat them ; Mr. Gladstone was not sorry; it was probably his own intention to have repealed it first. (Hear.) Then there was a new arrangement of the assessed taxes. They had been greatly moderated ; and there were those on carriages and horses, which Mr. Gladstone had changed to a more equitable and much lower rate. We had various other matters to look into. A bill was brought forward for the purpose of relieving merchant shipping FRENCH PRIZES FOR VIRTUE.—M.

MATCH FOR ONE HUNDRED GUINEAS. This match, between the English yacht Alarm, and the Swedish yacht Aurora Borealis, came off yesterday. The yachts were started from off Cowes Castle at 11 a.m., with a light wind from the N.E. The Swede was to windward, and was so good a match for the Alarm that Corke could not shake her off till they got off Ryde, when by a piece of trickery he got away from her. It soon after fell off calm, but the ebb tide took them down the back of the Wight, the Alarm at one time nearly a mile ahead. When near the Needles passage (the tide still carrying them to the westward), the Swede drifted almost on board the Alarm, and, but for the crew using their boat-hooks, would have become too c l ose l y ac quainted to be pleasant. The were hardly clear of each other when the Alarm let go her anchor, and the Swede directly followed her example ; but they had hardly brought up, when a light breeze sprung up from the westward, and the Alarm's small anchor (only 2 cwt.) was on her bows again, and she was off. The Swede soon followed, and after a hard struggle they reached the starting vessel at nine o'clock, the Alarm beating by two minutes, after a trial of ten hours ! It is much to be regretted that these vessels had not had a spanking breeze to contend with, as they are both fine powerful vessels, and splendid sea boats. This match has done nothing towards deciding which is the fastest yacht of the two. The Alarm was sailed by Edward Corke, the most noted and successful yacht sailor in this district. THE AMERICAN YACHT SILVIE.—This yacht was hauled up on Mr. Joseph White's slip on Monday, to have her bottom scrubbed. Numbers flocked to. exa mine this challenger of the English yacht clubs, with her two sliding keels. She is generally considered to be a complete failure. We are very much surprised at this, as she was built by Steer, the talented builder of the justly celebrated America. Her bottom is like a spoon, one of her sliding keels is amidships, the other aft—the first acts very well, the aft one is a failure. She draws only 6 feet water when they are up, but 15 feet when they are down. - ACCIDENT OFF NITON.—The name of the gentleman who was drowned off Niton on Saturday morning last is Mr. Edward Anderson, of London. A reward o f 201. has been offered for the recovery of the body. B.e was but lately married, and his lady was on a visit with him when the fatal accident occurred. The watermen, were, Francis and Peter Barton. A reward of 101. has: been offered for the recovery of their bodies. A verdict of manslaughter was yesterday returned by the jury against Captain David Corke, for occaisioning the death of William Wearn, on Monday, the St h inst., he being the master of the Medina, Southampton steamer, engaged in a pleasure trip round the Isle of Wight. Having neglected to keep a look twit, the steamer ran down Wearn's boat, drowning hint and his two brothers. The mate and seaman of the steamer seem to have been equally to blame, they ha ‘;!ing left the bows of the vessel, where they ought to h aN-e been on the look out, to go below to drink with o'ne of the passengers. The commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron? s yacht Zara came into harbour this day to lay up, she, having been in commission only one week.
