However suspicious may be the official intimacy which, until very recently, subsisted between M. GUIZOT and M. TESTE, it would be ungenerous to impute to the entire Administration of the former a corruption which has been divulged in the character of his unfortunate colleague. No one stigmatises CANILLE DEsmorLlNs with a love of cruelty because in a moment of enthusiasm he had once publicly' embraced ROBESPIERRE, or accuses Cardinal WOLSEY of a tenderness for bi gamists because he was wont to carouse with our Eighth HENRY. M. GUIZOT has enough overt criminality to answer for to satisfy even his most pertinacious opponents. We are by no means disposed, therefore, to quarrel with him upon a merely supposititious turpitude. The advantages which must inevitably result from the conviction and punishment of M. TESTE are rather of an abstract than of an inferential character. Neither his punishment nor his conviction would be advan tageous of . casting an a dditional odium upon a Ca binet which he was recently a member. No ; the detection of venalit y i n t h e l ate Minister of Public Works can only b e beneficial bearing morality in its gene ralised upon publi c moralit Little palliation is there to the gu . ilt of M. TESTE, that in sinning against the laws of rectitude he fell had with the illustrious. L ord BACONbranded his gr eat and immortal name with the culpability of peculation. Tha t was no e xcuse to bi. TESTE. DANToN, the b oldest rebel the wo r l d ever saw, had pocketted the douceurs of the minions of tyranny. That, aga i n , was anything but a v i n di cat i on of TESTE. MIBABEATI, the greatest trib une o f the M. French people, the most eloquent of modern or ancient demagogues, had tarnished his gl or y b y accepting the assignals of Louts XVI. That in no measure diminished the atrocity of the late proceed ings of M. TESTE. Beyond, however, the shame of his detected corruptibility, M. TESTE has in an extraordinary manner aggravated his guilt by at tempting to add to the shame of bribery the infamy 4)f self-destruction. The hoary administrator, however, will so amply expiate his conduct b y pecuniary infiletions i by a prolonged deprivAion of personal liberty, and especially by degradation in the face of the whole civilised world, that are little disposed to dilate in lanuuage of we miserably and contumely dedeplorably a and l i n dignation upon a man so debased. Others, however, implicated in the transactions for which M. TESTE has been condemned, are associated with him also in subjection to judicial severities. One amongst these individuals i 3 conceived by th e tnajority of our Parisian contemporaries to have be en awarded an undue proportion of punishment. For the remembrance of his long and honourable services to France they consider that his sentence might have been moderated without any abatement whatsoever of the supreme justice of the Tribunal. As a soldier THE SUN,' of Waterloo, as an officer who has fought and bled in the ranks of the French army, as a citizen who has hitherto enjoyed an unsullied reputation, and especially as one who has been, more strictly speak ing, imprudent than corrupt, he is regarded as in a great degree entitled to consideration and lanity. The .3 , ec'e feelingly remarks upon the civil degradation of General CUBIERES, " We may be allowed to ex press some commiseration for a brave soldier whose blood has flowed through nine or ten wounds on the field of Waterloo, and who, in the decline of his life, allowed himself to be be trayed into the sad paths of speculation and intrigue, without bringing there the spirit of audacity, rapine, and trick, to which so many others in those days owe their impunity." Such are the generous remonstrances which are appearing in the press of the French ca pital against the rigorous course adopted in the punishment of General CUBIERES. Altogether we are not disposed to coincide with the purpose of thes e remons t rances . R espec ti ng th e military gallantry of the condemned, esteeming his loyalty to his country as unimpeachable, and respecting the integrity of his domestic life, and the varieties of his civic virtues, we nevertheless, conceive it to be incompatible with the maintenance of morality to decrease the penalty im posed upon a participator in such a shameless act of peculation. We admire the spirit which animates these appeals in behalf of General CUBIERES, but we cannot but consider, nevertheless, that his culpability is so far established as to render his degradation from the army essential for the preservation of its good character. A temporary degradation may suffice, but a degradation of some sort appears to be abso lutely requisite. The punishment is bitter it is true, but public decency has been violated beyond all ex culpation. We have repeatedly pointed out the imperative necessity that existed for the strictest good faith and integrity on the part of the Irish landlords in the repayment of the several sums advanced from the national Exchequer in the hour of their affliction. It is demanded not only by every consideration of honour and honesty, but also of expediency. The national character is not more deeply involved than the na tional interests. A more striking illustration of the old adage that " honesty is the best policy" could scarcely be found. We have no hesitation in saying that the future prosperity of Ireland will in a great de gree be dependent on the course pursued throughout the country in general with respect to the repayment of the sums charged to their account by the stipulated instalments. The future proceedings of England will be regulated thereby. If an anxious desire is mani fested to discharge these obligations to the best of her ability—if every fair exertion is made to perform her part of the contract, the credit of Ireland will be established, and no future difficulties will be raised to the application of all our means to her benefit. Her chief want is capital. She possesses all the elements of national wealth ; her fields are of almost unex ampled natural fertility ; her rivers and harbours afford every facility for the extension of com merce ; her bays and the adjoining ocean teems with life, that by a slight exertion might be turned into a source of support and main tenance for a large portion of her children. Valuable mines and collieries in almost every part of the country, and millions of acres now lying waste and unproductive, which at a moderate expense might be brought into cultivation and made to produce crops of every description. In addition to all this there is an abundance of labour at hand, available for any and every improvement, at a low rate of wages. How comes it, then, that with all these advantages she is still so backward that she is obliged to implore aid from another land to save her children from perishing in myriads from want of the common necessaries of life ? The answer iti simple. She wants capital. The proprie tors of the soil are, as a body, involved in debts and embarrassments, the estates, of which they are the nominal owners, heavily encumbered and mortgaged to those who have no interest in their improvement. The necessities of the landlords affect the tenants, the former are unable to improve themselves, or even to encourage any improvements by the latter. They cannot yield any present benefit for the greatest future advantages. The latter fear, that if they expend their labour (in too many in stances their only capital) on the soil, they will not he permitted to reap the benefit thereof—that the increased value may attract the attention of the needy landlord, or the hearties and avaricious agent, and lead to their expulsion from their holdings : thus there is a continuance of neglect and apathy, little or nothing is done, the fields remain not half cultivated, and the people are still immersed in poverty, while the sources of wealth remain at their very thresholds, uncared for and unnoticed. This can only be remedied by the influx of capital, public and private, from this country—the first alone will not be sufficient, but it will lead to that peace and tranquillity, that general submission and obedience to the laws, that restoration of confidence, the want of which has hitherto prevented English capitalists from investing their wealth in Irish speculations. Persons of this description will act with the greatest caution before they decide on laying out that which may be turned into many beneficial channels. They will examine with their closest attention every point that should be introduced into the calculation. If they see a wilful disregard of public faith, they will not be disposed to place much dependence on the private integrity of the same parties. If public obligations are evaded, and public liabilities repu diated, they cannot repose implicit confidence in indi vidual honesty, or the punctual performance of private promises by those who unhesitatingly violate their public undertakings. But, on the other hand, they will acknowledge and readily act on the evidence that may, and we most fervently hope will, be afforded through out the country of the existence of a better and more honourable feeling. When they perceive that no ob stacles or difficulties are interposed in the way of Government, that the required rates are struck, and the means given for their collection, they will feel anxious to assist in every manner, and this feeling will be increased, because they will believe that that assistance can be rendered without loss to themselves, that their advances, whether made through their re presentatis es, in the Legislature, from the public purse, or by themselves individually, will be punc tually and fairly liquidated. We trust that these con ya n not d n b t e e r l e o s s t t s o w n e t h h a e v e people y o f a l t r Ir eland, w sid h e o r s a e ti w on elre s fa ma but that they may pursue a course worthy of a great and highminded people. As the friends of real religion, we hesitate not to affirm that religious intolerance is the greatest curse of civilised life. It matters not, whether possessed and exercised by the Turk, the Jew, or the Christian ; whether rampant in the Legislature or lurking in the cottage. It is the embarrassment and perversion of all right Government, and the destruction of all do mestic harmony and peace. But at this moment of electoral excitement it is its evils in the Senate to which we wish to draw the attention of every honest elector. Why, in a Government that has to extend its protection and its power over upwards of fifty different denominations of Christians, should you (unmindful of all other qualifications) endeavour to select or reject certain o candidat es mere l y because they agree or diff er from some whose oneenlightenment g p h o t i e n n t nl o e f n t t , h e disinterestedness,o l ogy V bY r ej andt liberality will enable him t o s h e d t h e blessings of a wise civil Go vernment over lec y th u e man on your forty - o ni en lt of b e i and on yourself al so , and r na e g t h rn r a e n of your own faith o n l y , f or the purpose r endeavour t un mindful of the interests, an d - regardless of the wishes of all but your own sect? What has the individual creed of a legislator to do in legislating (as he must do in a country like this) for the 49 others who differ from him? If religion in civil Governments is thus to assume an individual and intolerant character, we had sooner at once fall into t he views of the consist ent author of " Man unfit to govern Man," and contend with him that it is " inconsistent with the authority of JESUS, the Christian's only lawgiver, and with the principles of his religion, for men to form together, and enact laws of their own to punish other men who will not so conform. Let the advocates of Christianity be consistent ; let us draw back our interested hands from civil distinctions and human domination alto gether ; let us not perplex and embarrass a Govern ment of this world with our unholy and unauthorised LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING 9 JULY 21, 1847. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about 4,000 bales, including 2.500 American at 4-11 to ; 400 Pernam and Maranham, at 7-id. to B+l. ; 700 Maceio, at Bid. to B*d. ; 500 Eeyptian, at Bitl. to 91d. ; and 200 Surat, at 42d. to s*d. per lb. Prices re main without alteration. For long staple cotton there had been a fair demand ; but for short staple there had not been much inquiry. The Share Market was dull, and prices generally lower, excepting Newcastle and Berwick. We have one or two arrivals from tho Colcnies, but although the advices are not of later date, except from the Cape of Good Hope, there are some points of in. terest therein. It appears that on the frontier the Kafirs continued their petty depredations, but up to the end of May had not succeeded in facing anywhere even detached parties of our troops. From Pert Phillip there is news of March 12. The colony was in a prosperous state, but although heavy rains had fallen late in the season, the weather had again become too dry, and the usual sheep " r uns " were in many cases deserted fur stations further distant, where water is procurable There had been again a large and influential meeting in opposition to the transportation system, but this loses much of its pi esent interest from the circumstance of the home Government having resolved materially to restrict trans ' portation. The great grievance with the Port Philip pians is their annexation to Sydney, tow ar d s t h e ex penses of which they contribute so heavily, and on which account they so earnestly desire a" separation." At Adelaide, South Australia, in February, there had been a conflagration, by which property was destroyed to the amount of 5,0001. or 6,000 L The revenue of the colony was very flourishing.

But at present we contend for what we think a happy medium—the medium between intolerance and seclusion. Madrid papers of the 12th, and letters of the 13th have arrived. The French mail was stopped, between Santander and Burgos, on the 12th, by the Carlists. They burned the mail, and took the horses, leaving a receipt for the latter, in the name of CHARLES VI. The day before the band of EL ESTUDIENTE had been routed by the QUEEN'S troops. He himself was wounded, and one of his Aides-de-camp taken prisoner. A meeting of Progressistas had been held at the house of Senor MENDIZABAL, at which twelve can didates had been nominated to stand at the forth coming provincial elections. MADRID BOLSA.—The Three per Cents. closed on the 12th inst. at 26 cash ; the Five per Cents. 1 ; and Passives at 5i cash. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. The sentence on MM. TESTE, CUBIERES, and PAR MENTIER are the subject of comment in all of them, and, judging from the tenor of their observations, it is probable that the sentence on General CUBIERES will be mitigated. Almost all the journals express their commiseration for him, and consider him to have been the dupe of other and more guilty parties. The Union Monarchigue observes that, " Now that the sentences are past the partizans of Government will go about exclaiming Justice is done'—whereas justice will not have been done until all the roots of corruption shall have been torn up and eradicated." "Imprudent optimists that you are," exclaims the Union Monarchique, " you fall asleep on the crater of a volcano. You resemble an ignorant populace, who having immolated some unfortunate wretches afflicted with the plague, cry out, 'We have de stroyed the plague!'" The Presse, as might have been foreseen, turns the conviction of M. TESTE to excellent account, and it must be confessed there is some reason in its obser vations. It says—" Had the Court of Peers been satisfied with M. TESTE'S solemn asseveration of innocence (as fully as the Chamber of Deputies had declared itself satisfied by the simple denial given by M. DUCIIATEL to the matters alleged against him) — had the Court of Peers accepted M. TESTE'S dis claimer of guilt, he would have passed as triumphantly through the ordeal as had his former colleagues on the 25th of June, in the Chamber of Deputies." Now, seeing that the character of M. TESTE before this accusation was brought against him stood as high as ever did the character of M. DUCHATEL ; seeing, also that M. DUCUATEL was a Cabinet colleague with M. TESTE at the time the latter accepted the bribe, it is but reasonable to demand judicial investigation into the charges of M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN against the colleague of M. TESTE. Since the conviction of the latter, the assertion of innocence of M. DUCEATED amounts merely to a plea of not guilty. On Saturday the Chamber of Deputies was engaged in a debate on the Paris and Lyons Railroad Bill, which was adjourned to Monday. The Committee on the Loan Bill have reported in favour of the Government. The prospect of the harvest throughout the south of Europe is most gratifying. For fifty years the markets of Paris have never been so abundantly supplied with fruit and vegetables as at present, and the vintage of this year will, it is said, be memorable for its superabundance. The Three per Cents. were done in the Passage de l'Opera on Sunday at 77f. 80c. This price was, however, merely nominal, the great majority of the speculators being in the country.

MALTA, Juir 13. The Calcutta mail has brought Indian news to the 2d of June. Colonel Lawrence proposed to visit Cashmere with Ghoolab Singh, who had expressed his desire to make it his residence. The Sultan Mahmoud Khan, brother of Dost Ma homed, had obtained permission to return to Pe shawur, of which he was formerly the Governor. The Dost had returned to his capital. His dif ferences with the Ghillie Chiefs had been arranged. The interruption of the march of the contingent to Hyderabad had been commanded by the Supreme Government. The Legislative Council had authorised the emi gration of Indian labourers to Ceylon. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. We have received Cape papers to the 29th of May. Their contents are not important. The Kafirs con tinued their incursions and robberies of cattle along the frontier, but nothing of a serious nature had occurred since our last advices. It was said that Sandilla, being asked by a public officer whether he considered himself and his people at peace with the colony, and whether he would be satisfied with such tracts of country as the Go vernment might assign them. replied, " I told you six months ago that it was peace. We are all peaceable. As for land, we had too little before the war, and cannot do with less now." The Graham's Town Journal states that some speci mens of fossil coal had been found a few miles from the mouth of the bowie River, and that there were indica tions which led to the conviction that there will be found an extensive deposit. Should this prove true, it will be an important discovery for the colony. NORWICH ELECTION. A Liberal candidate has already appeared for the suffrages of the constituency of Norwich, in the per son of the eminent railway contractor, Mr. Samuel Morton Peto. We congratulate the independent electors of this city upon the opportunity which is thereby afforded them of returning as their represen tative in the new Parliament a gentleman so peculiarly qualified to maintain the national interests with integrity against the factious opposition of the anti-reform, anti-cleanliness, anti-free-trade, anti everything-sensible party, led by Lord George Bentinck. Are the electors of Norwich be lievers in the perfectibility of the Constitu tion ? Are they advocates of gradual reforms in that Constitution ? If so, they will support the Li beral candidate ; and that Liberal candidate is Mr. Peto. Are the electors of Norwich desirous of sana tory improvement ? Are they lovers of domestic and personal cleanliness ? If so, they will support none other than the antagonist of the Noble Lord the Member for Lynn, and his followers, for by quashing the Health of Towns Bill the lowers of Lord George Bentinck proved them selves to be DIRTY POLITICIANS. Will Norwich send a DIRTY POLITICIAN to Parliament as its representative ? Surely not. A man honest in principles, liberal in character, sound in judgment, influential in position—such is the only man who should be selected by the constituency of the principal town of Norfolk. For these reasons we are satisfied that Mr. Peto—as the Liberal candidate—will be returned, and that he will be returned triumphantly. LYCEUM THEATRE. A new drama, entitled Fleur de Lys; or Love's Tri umph, from the pens of Mr. Angus Reach and Mr. H. Hamilton, was produced here on Menday with complete success. The scene is laid in Paris in 1789, and the in terest of the play turns on the fortunes of a young and virtuous damsel of humble life, who refusing to accede to the dishonourable proposals of an aristocrat, is by him thrown into the dungeons of the Bastile, from whence she is rescued by her virtuous lover of humble life, who excites the people to aid him, and by their assistance destroys the Bastile. The scene of the taking of the Bastile was capitally managed, and the piece was most effective. George Wild, as a cowardly, boasting patriot, and Oxberry, as a sentimental turnkey, con tributed, by their drolleries, greatly to the success of the piece. It will be recollected that Dr. Arnold Mendols sohn, advocate, at Berlin, some time ago assisted M. Oppenheim in abstracting, under peculiar circumstances, the casket of the Baroness de Meyendorff. For this M. Oppt-aheim was brought to trial, before the Court of Assizes of Cologne, but Dr. Mendolssohn contrived to make his escape, and, notwithstanding all the exertions of the police, nothing-was heard of him until a few days ago, when he voluntarily presented himself to the judi cial authorities of Dusseldorf and constituted himself prisoner. He has since been examined three times, and will, it is said, be shortly brought to trial before the AS4i7,O Court of Cologne. MINES.

INVERNESS I3VaGIIS.-1 • (le tollowiog ;rte arl ( j • , .cs which has been published by Mr. Matheson, of Ardross, to r!te, electors of these burghs : " Gentlemen,—Your present representative in Par llilthent having announced his intention of not again soliciting your sutfrages,l beg to offer myself as a caudi date for the honour ot representing your burghs. Having but recently returned among 3,u, after a lung absence in the East, I woo d h_►ve hesitated to ob trude myself thus early on your notice, were it not for the very flattering invitations and promises of support which nave been spontaneously tendered co me by a large and influential body of your number, embracing in dividuais of all shades of opinion. Whilst I approve of the principles of free trade, and of .the liberal line of policy pursued by her Majesty's present Ministers, still, it I be so fortunate as to be re turned by you as your representative, it will be my study to pursue an independen; course in Parliament, and to support such measures as may seem to :enu to the gene ral good, from whatever party they may emanate. My hest services shall at ail times be devoted to your local interests; and it will be to ir,e a source of no ordinary gratification to be placed in the proud position I aspire to, by a body of my own fellow•country men, and fur a district with which I am so closely c.,nneetecl by my per sonal interests as well as by the ties of early friendship and local attachments. " Unavoidable engagements detain me in London for a short time; but I hope in a few days to be enabled to return to the Highlands, when I shall have the honour of waiting personally on you, and of affording you such explanations of my polit:cal sentiments and views a, m:sy be required.—l have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your most obedient servant, " ALEX. MATHESON. " London, June 22, 1847." ----- Mr. Matheson arrived at Inverness on Wednesday, the Bth inst., from London, and commenced his can vass with every prospect of success—there being no opponent in the field. Mr. Matheson was the repre sentative in China for many years of the house of Jardine, Matheson, and Co. FINSBURY. On Saturday last the following address, signed by upwards of 1,000 electors of Finsbury, was presented to Messrs. Duucombe and Wakley:— "TO THOMAS SLINCSBY DUNCOMBE AND THOMAS WAKLEY, ESQRS. " We, the undersigned electors of the borough of Finsbury, having now for many years had the benefit of your services as our representatives in Parliament, and being desirous of marking our unsolicited approval of your past conduct, hereby request you to allow us, without any interference on your part, to take all ne cessary steps to secure your return► at the next general election." Messrs. Duncombe and Wakley yesterday returned the following answer:— " TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF FINSBURY. "Gentlemen,—We are much gratified by the receipt of a requisition, so numerously and respectably signed as that which we have this day the honour of acknow ledging. Be assured that it is net only most satisfac tory to us to find our past political conduct marked by your unsolicited approval,' but that, so long as we are sustained by such honourable and independent proofs of your confidence, we must feel proud of continuing your representatives in Parliament. "In obedience, therefore, to your wishes, we leave the result in your hands, hoping that the example you have placed before the electors of this country may exercise a powerful influence on other indep e nd en t const i tuenc i es . "Peill}lC*Us to add, that the recollection of your past and present generous approval of our labours and in tentions can never be obliterated from our minds.—We have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your obedient and faithful servants, " THOMAS S. DUNCOMBE. "THOMAS WAKLEY. " July 19th, 1847." MARYLEBONE ELECTION.-THE BALLOT. The ballot to decide between Lord Dudley Stuart, Mr. Daniel Whittle Harvey, and Sergeant Shee, took place in accordance with the arrangements which we gave in our paper of en Monday, at:Captain Ha't's Riding-rloms, Albany-street. It commenced at nine, and terminated at eight P.M., and was attended by no difficulty during the day, though several complaints were heard that letters had not been sent to all the electors. The neigh bourhood during the day exhibited the general features of electioneering excitement. At eight o'clock the doors were closed, and the ballot-boxes removed to un dergo the scrutiny of Messrs. Birkheck, Everest, and Ridge, who had been appointed as independent parties. Four hours were occupied in this, during which several hundred electors waited with great anxiety inside, while the street was crowded with hundreds more, who were temporarily excluded. At twelve o'clock the candidates and committee entered, and Mr. J. Williams (chairman of the committee of Mr. D. W. Harvey) having been called to the chair, the following result was announced amidst tremendous cheers:— Sergeant Shee Lord D. Stuart 1,250 Mr. D. W. Harvey The doors were then opened, and a general rush soon increased the number of those present. to upwards of 2,000, when Mr. D. W. HARVEY rose to address them amidst thunders of applause. He said that in the early stages of the arrangement some controversy had taken place as to the position in which the candidates names should be inserted upon the card. He had asked to be placed last, under the full conviction that the result of the ballot would place him first—(Applause) —and this had been realised beyond his most sanguine expectations ; and gratifying as the result must be to the friends of sincere and unequivocal reform, there was a result connected with it even greater than that which had been attained. With all the newness of an experiment, and though the management of it was given to persons who it could scarcely be expected could entirely divest themselves of the character of partisans, they had had the great fact established, that the ballot was a system which could be well conducted—(Great cheering)—and that when it should be reduced to a system it would be an admirable one. At the same time there had been evinced through out the ballot a feeling, which he ventured to express, when giving as his opinion to the great meetings of the constituency, of the desirableness of this kind of voting, that he considered it more valuable and essential to small constituencies than to one like Marylebone, whose independence was not to be assailed by any means from any quarter. It was a remarkable fact that the greater number of cards placed in the boxes had been with exultation exhibited to all around, so little were the electors of this great borough disposed to conceal their inclinations.—(Cheers.) But though they had se cured the victory, they ought not to make it—he trusted they would not make it—a matter of boast. It had been a course adopted by friends to decide the pretensions of candidates, who, however they might differ in the differ ent degrees and views they entertained of reform, were sincerely anxious for its support and promotion. It was, therefore, for the welfare of the common cause of all that they should now labour conjointly in it. Unless the support of the others was now given, and they strove together for common principles, they would only have to look forward to bickerings and strife, w hich would defeat the end they all had in view, and they would have to take on themselves the shame of their indiscretion. He therefore hoped, from this time, that all the electors who had embraced the cause of the Noble Lord and the Learned Sergeant would give them the same assistance in their cause as they would have done had fortune been on the other side.—(Cheers.) So anxious was he for the advancement of the great cause which this borough had served to-day beyond all example, that he should not suffer any views of personal ambition to interfere with the principle.—(Hear.) But he could not suppose that the disposition which had been displayed could be taken as anything but a herald of success for the future. While he thus disclaimed anything breathing a spirit of hostility to his Noble Friend and the Learned Sergeant, he thought there were circumstances which, as characteristic of the cause and in gratitude to the borough, ought not to be concealed.—(Bear, hear.) They had secured this great result by exertions alto gether of a personal kind.—(Hear, hear.) Individually, he (Mr. Harvey) had not entered one house to canvass one vote.—(Great applause.) He had engaged no canvasser and paid no cab.—(Great applause.) The result was a splendid monument of what tree men could do who rightly understood their rights, and had a prin ciple stamped on their minds. He was told that before to-morrow's sun should set there would be proclaimed the names of their opponents. Whether they had to I contend with one sturdy knight—(Laughter)—or two, was equally a matter of no importance if they were true and faithful.—(Cheers.) For himself, he should be pre pared to give the only earnest—no feeble one—of his sincerity and devotion to the object in which he had embarked, by throwing off those fetters which bound him, which would enable him to cast himself into their arms, and repose there.—(Tremendous cheers.) Let them permit him to say, without dwelling on any of the various topics which be had discussed in addressing their large meetings, that there was one point with regard to this last subject which ought to be one of the principal motives which would induce them to emanci pate him from the thraldom in which be had been thrown by the contrivances of parties. For the first time in the history of the country was a clause intro duced into an Act of Parliament by which, when made a commissioner of police, he was rendered incapable of being elected. The fact was, that he was not ap pointed by the Crown, but chosen, 4364 of other candi dates, by the City. The Hon. Gentleman having pro. seeded to expose the dangers of a Tory policy, when the Tory candidates appeared, concluded his address, which was warmly cheered throughout, by stating that he was sure that what the herald proclaimed to-day of their power, was but a presage of their own omnipotence. Lord D. STUART, in a brief address, grecefullp with drew his pretensions, and congratulated his oppo nent.—(Cheers.) There were loud cries for Mr. Sergeant Shee, but Mr. Ivimey explained that he was kept away unavoidably; and Sir B. HALL made several attempts to address the meeting, which were very ungraciously received. CITY OF LONDON EL EC HON—MEETING IN THE WARD OF FARRINGDON WITHOUT. On Monday an extremely numerous meeting of the inhabitants of the ward of Farringdon Without took place in the Farringdon Hall, King's Arms-yard, Hol born-hill, to hear the opinions of three of the Liberal candidates—Mr. Pattison, M.P.,Baron Lionel de Roths schild, and Sir GeOrge Larp en t, each of whom, wirticu larly the first, was loudly cheered on entering the hall. Mr. WALKER, who lit the course of his address said he wag A Digcontor ", 4, 44,, Tr„ era . act . 'oe a aka i a t ii -k ka.. psi. cip:- s tended .to promote the wee ;,:re of the cots mil• nity at large. Although he differ, din some paints faim Lei d T a shn Russell, sun he saw so nine% to be approved of in the Noble Lord's leer; public career that Le would still ssrport him.—(ilear, hear.) NV ith respect to Baron de RothscUki, he found no reasonable objection to .ne could • , bj , ct to him in the relations of private life, and he did not see eby any tliff -reace should arise in public in itters.— (Hear, hear) Who ever reed the history it Criristianity would see that our hitherto treatment o- the Jews was disgraceful, and he hoped soon to see those laws broken down which pre vented the sans of Abraham from becoming their poli tical friends and advisi rs. The worthy chairman con cludt d by eulogising the public conduct of Mr. Pattison, M.P., end Sir George Larpent. Mr. PATTISUN, M.P., rose, and was received with im mense cheers. He said that as his speeches for the last eight or ten days, addressed to the electors of the City, and containing expressions of his public principles, had been publish, d in the d'fferent newspapers, he could say but ver4 tle more than he had air. ady said. He would rarniud Lae meeting of his votes in Parliament He had voted tor tile ballot-0 :iieers)—tor triennial Nadia msnts—(Chi ers)—fur hots, hold suffrage—(Chi ers)— for aboli.ion of the punishment of death—(Cheers)—he had voted for the repeal of the worst part of the Reform Bill, the rate-paying clause—(Cheers)--and he believed that his noble colleague, Lord J. Russell, would, if he had time, in the present session, have passed a measure to nullify that clause.—(Cheers.) For his other votes he referred the electors to the published lists of divisions in the House of Commons. He would persevere in up holding his old principles, and he hoped that they would get rid its time of the drags that still lay heavily on the trade of the country. He felt great satisfaction in hav ing for his colleague the Prime Minister of the country, who was not perfect —no man was—but who was he (Mr. Pattison) believed, as honest a man as ever breathed.—(Loud and long continued cheering.) Who, asked Mr. Pattison energetically, will you get to re place him?—(" No one.") Sir Robert Peel is a great man, and has done great good to the country, but his party is nothing—(" It will be less")—and he could not now form an Administration.—(Hear, hear.) Will my friends have Lord George Bentinck?—(" No, no.") He is the head of a third party, and I do not think that my friends will support them.—(" No, no.") The other candidates, Baron de Rothschild and Sir George Larpent were known to the electors through their speeches. He hoped they were Radicals, as he was. He was a Ra dical—that is, a person opposed to everything radically bad, and friendly to everything radically good.— (Cheers.) The Hon. Member then eulogized Baron de Rothschild, who, he said, was a friend to religious liberty, and he hoped that by electing him they would get rid of Jewish disabilities, one of the last, together with church rates, objectionable laws on the statute book.—(Cheers.) He firmly believed that if they elected his excellent friend they would get rid of that monstrous stain on the Legislature of the country.—(Hear, hear.) Was not Baron de Rothschild a most charitable man?— (Hear, hear.) Whenever he (Mr. Pattison) knew of a case of distress, Baron de Rothschild was the very first person he applied to for assistance. During the recent and still prevailing distress in Ireland, Baron de Roths child not only subscribed most munificently, but placed two steam-boats, at his own expense, at the service of those conveying relief to Ireland.—(Cheers.) He hoped the electors would back Baron de Rothschild, whose family he would back for charity against the families of a dozen noblemen.—(Cheers.) The Baron DE RoTHSCHILD, on rising, was received with loud hurrahs. He said, that as their veryable chair man could see no objection to his being a candidate, it was equally clear, from the kind demonstration now dis played by the meeting, that they did not see any objec tion to him.—(Cheers.) At the suggestion of many of his Liberal friends he had come forward, as they thought that a trial for civil and religious liberty should be under taken through and by him—that they should have an opportunity, not only of expressing their opinions on the subject, but of proving them by public acts.—(Hear, hear.) On those grounds he claimed their support. The Hon. Candidate then expressed himself favourable to free trade, showed its good effects, and said if Liberal Members were returned the system would be followed up to the greatest and most beneficial extent. As reli• gious questions were now more agitated than easy other, he begged to say that he was decidedly against church endowment, and would oppose for such purpose any grant of money from the public purse.—(Cheers.) He would endeavour to support the progress of education without any religious interference, and would pay the greatest attention to the improvement of the franchise. A large meeting would take place the next day, when every question would be fully discussed, and when he would be prepared to answer every querist, as he was prepared now, and at which meeting he hoped to see public opinion as great, and greater, in his favour than ever.—(Cheers.) Sir G. LARPENT then addressed the meeting. He came forward as a merchant of the city of London, professing liberal principles, to solicit the honour of tieing chosen one of its representatives. He was a friend of free tradh in the widest extent of the term. With re spect to social improvements, connected with the poor laws and the suffrage, they should receive his patient attention. He would support reduction of taxation, revision of the Excise laws, and would vote for the removal of the window-tax. He considered a tax on property right, and fair, and just, but an income-tax was neither right, fair, nor just.—(Cheers.) He consi dered church-rates highly obnoxious. Persons should not be forced against their conscience to support the Church establishment, but it should not be allowed to go to ruin. On the question of religion, he was opposed to all endowment whatever taken from the general funds of the country. All who contributed to the taxation of the country had a right to share in the benefits of public education. No system of public education should receive his support which in the slightest degree inter fered with the conscience of any man.—(Hear, hear.) Those were the opinions by which he meant to stand or fall, and which he would support, if elected.—(Cheers.) Baron DE ROTHSCHILD here withdrew, saying that he had another meeting to attend. Mr. PATTISON, M.P.—You must also excuse my going. I am going to the House of Commons to vote against the Bishop of Manchester.—(Loud cheers.) The meeting shortly afterwards separated, having expressed the fullest confidence in the three candidates. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. LONDON, JULY 20.—Wind N.N.E., light breeze and fine.

ALARMING FIRE AT PIMLICO. - Monday morn ing, at four o'clock, an alarmi, g fire broke ou t at 73, Vauxhall Bridge-road. Pimlico, in the occupation of Mr. Soane, and had it not been so opportunely discovered, a loss of life would doubtless have taken place. It com menced under the stairs in the kitchen, and rapidly extended to the top of the house. The engines of the London Brigade and West of England Company were prompt in their attendance, and the firemen having set to work most vigorously, they soon got the mastery over the flames. The damage done by fire and water, how ever, is considerable. EXTRAORDINARY CARE.-.A case of a very extraor dinary nature, which, for the sake of humanity and the credit of the medical profession, is not, we trust, of fre quent occurrence, took place last week in this city. A respectable woman who keeps a lodging-house on th e south side of th e river, happened to have, as ono of her inmates, a young man, a native, we believe, of Aber deenshire, who sometime at the end of last month took typhus fever, which the medical man pronounced to be of a dangerous kind, and likely, in all probability, to be attended with fatal results. With the surgeon's advice, this gentle landlady, to prevent all risk of contagion, had the period of the young man's disease calculated with so much exactness, that while he was still breath ing, and conscious, his grave was ordered to be dug, his coffin in readiness, and the hearse hired for the purpoi,e of conveying away his remains. Unfortunately, their calculations were not sufficiently accurate, for the coffin had arrived a few hours too soon; and when the hearse came, the driver was horror struck to find that the sup. posed deceased was still alive. He immediately d ..we back. The young man died soon aittrwards, and n was not till the day following that the interment took place. The circumstances coming to the knowledge of the authorities, an investigation was instantly set on foot to arrive at some reason for these strange proceedings; but we understand that nothing was elicited to criminate any party further than that they had been prompted by a desire, at whatever sacrifice of common humanity and decency, to lessen the chances of contagion.—North -British tinil HER MAJESTY'S STUD.—Twelve horse-boxes are repairing and being zn!de rea:ly fo r use in Wools i ch Dockyard, said to be i ntended for the conveyanc e of Forma et tier Majesty's stud by steamer to Scotland. r-1 r lra r: z inb ,) 17 --‘44( ~- . 0., --- The Muse met fer public buiiness Olortly after Eve o'clock.

BUSINESS OF THE SESSION. Lord BROUGHAM then rose to call the attention of the House to the manner in which the business of Parliament had been conducted during the present ses sion. He did so with no factious design. His intention was to bring under the consideration of their Lordships' the course legislation had pursued during the present sessien, nod in doing so his only object aas to gather lessons for the future, and prevent Parliament trom undergoing such another session a- that uhieh was now about. ta close. He would call their Lordships' :,t -lei Lion '0 the measures that had be, n introduced, those that had been withdrawn and those that had passed. Or the latter he felt bound to say that he had never known a session in which such calamitous mea sures had passed. Of the e:nglish Poor-law Bill which they had passed this session he could not say much. Another measure was the Poor Relief(lreland) Bill. How long that measure was to last he could not say; but he believed, that in bringing it forward, they were only putting off the evil day. It was one thing to give relief, and another, after they had taught men to be beggars, to withdraw it. To say that because persons were to be relieved from hunger who were unable to help the m selves during the summer months was a proposition which he must confess he could not grapple with. He found that in several districts assessments had been made to the amount of 9s. in the pound for a single quarter of the year, making a sum equal to 365. in the pound for the year. Unless the pound sterling had a capacity of swelling in Ireland, he did not see how those rates were to be paid. Then there was the Factories Bill—it did not require the talents of the seer to forsee what would be the results of that Bill. Those three measures were certainly the worst that he had ever known to be passed. Now with respect to another subject, the endowment of the Catholic Church he thought it might be rather an unpopular opinion to express just now, that the Catholic priesthood ought to be endowed, and he be lieved that despite the assertions to the contrary, that there was not a single individual in connexion with that church who would not jump at the offer. He was sorry that a measure had not been introduced to carry out those opinions. It was also a serious omission of duty on the part of the Government, that they had not sent a recognised agent to the Court of Rome. By their omission to do so, they left seven millions of their fellow subjects in a manner almost, if not altogether, unrepre sented. Then again, there were measures which were just brought for ward seemingly for the purpose of being withdrawn, some of them of the most important nature, others of a less important character, but all of them involved in one common and pitiless abandon ment. The first to which he would refer was one with respect to Ireland, for the purpose of extending the period of elections for counties in Ireland. The pre amble of that Bill recited, that " Whereas it was expe dient to limit the polling at elections to one daa," yet the Bill contained no proviso for so reducing the time to be allowed for such elections. That Bill, however expe dient might have been its provisions was gone, however, with its brother Bill—the Parliamentary Electors' Bill. Then, again, there was the Encumbered Estates (Ireland) Bill, which was considered of so much paramount im portance to the best interests of the country. He thought that nothing ought to have stood in the way of allowing that Bill to pass. But notwithstanding the importance and the necessity of such a measure, the Government had made that to share the same fate as the other unfor tunate Bills. He then came to another Bill, which pro posed to effect much good for the whole commercial system of the country, he alluded to the Railways' Bill. He could hardly mention the name of that Bill without exciting a smile. He highly approved of the interference proposed by that Bill ; it was perfectly necessary that some such supervision should be carried on by the Government over the railway interests. By rail ways the whole of the country was cut up, the old modes of travelling suspended, and the roads blocked up. A monopoly was afforded to those parties, and powers to take land and property com pulsorily. A Bill was brought in to allow the Govern ment some control over parties possessing these enor mous powers, and had been withdrawn in consequence of the threatened opposition of the railway authorities. He had no hope to see that measure carried in the next Parliament, which was to be the first of the railway Parliaments, and where he had no doubt that instead of there being one person entrusted in railways, there would be a dozen. He deeply regretted, therefore, that the Bill had been withdrawn. Then the Health of Towns Bill, that was a subject mentioned in the speech from the Throne, and a Bill had been introduced at an early period on the subject, but in that Bill the very place (the city of London) which of ail others most needed the ope ration of the Bill, was excluded therefrom. That unfor tunate Bill, however, went the way of all Bills, except those which were of no real value or service to the coun• try. Then there was the Thames Conservancy Bill, a Bill of great national importance, that had also gone the way of all the Bills. There was a Prisons Bill, also, that had been withdrawn, The Regulation of Births and Deaths (Scotland) that had shared a similar fate. Now, all these things showed clearly to his mind the sivns of a weak Government, and he thought that any Ministry was better than a weak Ministry. He sincerely hoped that he might never live to see such sentiments a.. ain adopted with respect to Bills, as had been with respect to the Health of Towns Bill, the Encumbered Estates Bill, and the Railways Bill. He hoped to see, whatever Government should succeed, one that was sup. ported by public opinion, enshrined in its own merits Is the hearts of the people, and supported by large majo rities in both Houses of Parliament. Most sincerely did he trust that he might never again have to lament over such a session as this. He would, therefore, move that an humble address be presented to her Majesty, setting forth that the measures recommended from the Throne had not been carried out by her Majesty's Ministers. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE thought it necessary to make some observations upon the speech of the Noble and Learned Lord. There was not a word that the Noble Lord had said, but would most equally apply to the last four or five sessions of Parliament. He should meet the Noble Lord's motion by a decided negative. Nothing was more surprising than the charge that nothing had been done. The Government had shown the utmost desire to destroy monopolies injurious to the people. For instance—the monopoly of the East India Company, which fell gradually after sessions of debate. The Government had passed, in addition to the Bills for the alleviation of the famine in Ireland, several Bills with reference to Scotland. The Muscle Bill, for instance, was one of great national importance, inasmuch as it would give employment to a great portion of the people of Scotland. He entertained a confident belief that the loans advanced to Ireland would be repaid—in fact, they were in the course of being repaid. The Noble and Learned Lord accused them with having done little during the session. Why they had proposed and carried a Bill for the importation of corn, a Bill relating to the navigation-laws, a Bill respecting brewing from sugar, and distilling from sugar. The Noble and Learned Lord called these merely temporary Bills, but they were brought forward for the purpose of meeting a great and pressing emergency, although they did partake of such a character. But they had also passed measures of great permanent public importance: He should oppose the motion. Lord BROUGHAM replied, and stated that he did not undervalue the temporary measures of the Government. He considered that the Government had been deficient in permanent measures of great public importance. The motion was then negatived without a division. Several Bills were advanced a stage, and their Lord ships adjourned shortly after Eight o'Clock. HOUSE OF LUMMUIVS. July 20. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Three o'clock. LORDS' AMENDMENTS. The Lords' amendments to the following Bills were considered and agreed to:— Birkenhead (Commissioners) Dock Acts Amendment (Construction of New Docks and Alteration of Culvert). Birkenhead Commissioners Docks Acts Amendment (11 1 to Construction of Sea Wall along Wallasey Pool). Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midlands Junction Railway Deviations. Royston and Hitchin Railway (Sale or Lease). THIRD READINGS. The following Bills were read a third time and passed: —Dean and Chapter of Westminster's Estate—Jesus Hospital (Newcastle) Estate—Passingham's Estate.

Mr. WAKLEY presented a petition from Brixton, praying for the repeal of the Septennial Act. TRINIDAD. In reply to a question from Mr. HUME, Mr. HAWES stated that instructions had been sent out to Trinidad, directing that the island should be partitioned out into districts, w i th th e v i ew of esta blishing municipal government, which might here after become a foundation for the erection of a General Legislative Assembly. THE BIBLE IN MADRAS. In reply to a question from Sir R. H. INGLIS, Sir J. C. HOBHOUSE intimated that the Home Go vernment did not approve of the order issued by the Governor of Madras, discountenancing the use of th e Bible in a new c l ass recent l y i ntroduced into the Uni versity of Madras, the attendance on which was per fectly voluntary. On the motion of Mr. HUME, returns were ordered to be laid before the House relating to the cultivation of cotton in India ; and also returns relating to the number i , f resident and non-resident clergymen belonging to the Church of England. IMPORTATIONS FROM IRELAND. On the motion of Mr. GROGAN, returns were ordtrcd showing the quantities of Grain (specifying the different kinds), and of Flour or Meal imported into Ireland, from the Ist day of September, 1846, to the sth (lay of July, 1847, showing the number and description of live stock, the quantities of cured provisions of all kinds, of butter, poultry, and eggs imported into Ire land during the same period; and showing the quan tities of cured provisions, of butter, poultry, and eggs exported from Ireland during the same period.
