Grosvenor, reached me .n Germany, and has caused me to return to Eng' +n t with all possible expedi tion, and as once to declare myself a candidate for the high honour of representing that great and important constituency With which my name and family have been associated for up- Wards of a century. Let me, however, rest my individual claims for your support upon the principles and votes which I hive maintained and given during the five years I have sat in Parliament. Daring that period I have supported the Re moval of the Jewish Disabilities, th, Total Abolition of Church Rates, the adoption of the Vote by Ballot, the Ad mission of my Dissenting fellow-subjec s to the advantages of our University Education, and all measures tending to promote and secure, in its best and highest acceptation, the great principle of Civil and Religious Liberty. The usual limits of an address would be exceeded were I to express at any length n” views upon the all-importa t question of Par liamentary Reform. lam most anxious that the Franchise should be fairly and honestly extended, commensurately with the growing intelligence cf the people ; awl any well-digested scheme, havin: for its object the removal of existing anoma lies in our representative system shall have my warmest sup port. Under this head I may class the property qualifica tion now required of Member, of Parliament, the repeal of which, as proposed this session by Mr. Locke King, I cor dially supported. The engrossing topic of the day is, however, the unhappy state of our Indian Empire. All classes of politicians must unite in one comm• n feeling of horror awl grief at the recital of atrocities almost unparalleled in the history of mankind ; and I shall, if returned by you to Parliament, mo t heartily support Lord Palmerston's Government, or any Administra tion, in such prompt and vigorous measures as may be deemed advisable ixo quell the existing mutinies, to punish the guilty perpet, ators of those deeds of blood, and to re-establish our authority and dominion upon a firmer and more du: able basis. I shall, however, watch with a jealous eye the public ex penditure, and rigidly scrutinise every propos.d which has reference to the burdens of taxation. No one can feel more sensibly than I the weighty responsi bilities which must attach to him who is selected to represent the various and important interests of the Metropolitan County, and if the trust which I seek is committed to my care. I will devote my time and talents to its faithful and conscientious discharge. In your hands I leave the issue of acceptance or rejection. I have the honour to he Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, GEORGE BYNG. Wortham Park, Barnet, August 27, 1557. MIDDLESEX ELECTION. The CENTRAL COMMITTEE for PRO• NOTING the ELECTION of the Hon.

The nation is at length beginning to recover from the shock sustained by the arrival of the overland mail, and the confirmation of the sad apprehensions entertained respecting the fate of Cawnpore, with its garrison, and the numerous fugitives who had taken refuge under what was vainly supposed to be the sure protection of General WHEELER. But terrible as was the intel ligence, it has only created an unbending resolu tion to maintain the honour of the British arms, at any sacrifice, and to inflict exemplary punish ment on the bloodthirsty miscreants who had per petrated the most fearful aeries of atrocities recorded in history. There can be no compromise —no peaceful settlement of the question. There must be ample retribution. The mutineers who have imbrued their hands in the blood of their too in dulgent officers, as well as all who have partici pated in the horrible atrocities perpetrated on non-combatants, women and children, fi,ght with ropes about their necks. For them there can be no mercy. They have themselves alone to blame for this result. They erected the black flag, de liberately cut off the means of escape, and such piratical conduct can only be adequately expiated by the pirate's doom. A heavy responsibility now devolves, not merely on the Indian, but on the English Government. Every nerve must be strained to the utmost, no effort spared to render the second campaign deci sive. Every available English soldier should at once be forwarded from the Cape, without refer ence to the wishes sr protests of the Governor. Sir C. GREY must learn that be is the servant, not the master of the Cabinet, and that he must either obey the instructions forwarded to him, or surrender his position into other hands. The Ger man pets have been maintained on full pay. They should surely, with the local force, be sufficient to maintain the tranquility of the colony, or else our money has been expended for but little purpose. At all events, 10,000 troops could and must be spared. The Governor of Bombay has not merely despatched a requisition, but has also sent the means of transport. Should Sir C. GREY disre gard the request, more stringent measures must be forthwith resorted to. Something more im portant is required than that British troops should act as guards of hono4 to the Governor, or that their expenditure should enhance the profits of the shopkeepers at the Cape. There are many troops, too, in the Mediterra nean, which might also be spared, and trans mitted by the overland route. Lard PALMERSTON has virtually confessed that no obstacle would be offered by the PACHA. Nor could the SULTAN, with any consistency, refuse his permission. It is very different from the case when the contest is between nations, with both of whom the Power required to grant facilities maintains friendly rela tions. There might be a breach of neutrality in Ev civilisedr e bels s , suc h case, but is i s qu i ts di f ferent where muti neers, very and Sate should mur afford dere sar i e ts co a n gs c i e s r t n an ed ce ., in such matters, 'without hesitation or repugnance. If means then be not speedil y adopted to transmit European soldiers across S uez, we shall consider it to be so i e :y attributable to the indecision and negligence of our own Government, rather than to any impediments created either by the SULTAN or the PACIIA. For such shortcomings ample accounts must be rendered. ft is true that Par fiazient ba6 separated for a ilize t but that only renders increased vigilance indispensable on the part of the Government and of the public jour nalists. We are satisfied that the latter will do their duty, and strive by every means in their power to keep Ministers up to the mark. The great arena of strife is situate within a comparatively limited space. It is true that there is great discontent in other quarters throughout the North• Western Provinces and Central India. Delhi, the stronghold of th, rebels—the old capital of the Moguls—is on the Jumna River, close to Meerut, Bareilye, and other places that have attained an unhappy noto riety. There our troops maintain their ground, but have as yet been unable to hazard an attack, in consequence of the numerous detachments re. quired to protect other districts. Agra—also on the Jumna—is about 110 miles lower on tht river. There a battle was fought with little more than 500 men, a large proportion of which were civilians, against 10,000 of the organised muti neers. At first the cause of truth and justice pre vailed. The rebels from Neemuch and Nusseer abad were driven at the point of the bayonet from the villages where they had encamped, about six miles from Agra. But, unfortunately, there was no reserve, no means of following up the first success—even the ammunition failed. They had, consequently, eventually to retreat, with the heavy loss, in proportion to their numbers, of 49 killed and 92 wounded. Their dating, however, was not thrown away. It prevented the attack on the fort which would otherwise have taken place, and possibly a repetition of the atrocities at C.twupole, bliftt licsm excited the wrath of the nation against the miscreant NENA. SAHIB. Cawnpore is on the Ganges, about as far from Agra as Agra is from Delhi. There the most fearful incidents took place—the massacre in cold blood of those who trusted in treacherous promises, and the sale and subsequent ill treatment, such as we cannot eipliin in these columns, of 240 English females and children. The gallant HAVELOCK has already recaptured the violated town, and wk can scarcely doubt that the next mail will bring the intelligence of a summary settlement with NENA SAHIB. Lucknow, the capital of Oude, is a compara tively short distance from Cawnpore, which is oil the frontier, and there is every reason to hope that reinforcements will arrive in sufficient time to prevent it from falling into the hands of the rebels. On the whole, although the crisis is fosmiiable, there is no reason_ to be discouraged. We hAve already beard the worst, and we may easily be lieve that, according to our contemporary Punch, we may shortly see the British Lion inflicting complete vengeance on the cowardly Bengal Tiger, that preys upon helpless women and innocent children, and has not the courage to face an enemy armed with equal strength and power. The Red Sea Telegraph Company is an estab lished fact. The prospectus has been duly issued, and will be found in another part of this day's impression. The Board of Directors are perfectly unexceptionable. Their names are alone sufficient to afford the strongest guarantee of its ultimate success. At present they limit their operations to Alen, at the mouth of the Red Sea. This may be accomplished within a few months, simulta neously with the Mediterranean telegrap4 to Alexandria. Already have the necessary con cessions been obtained from the Turkish and Egyptian Government, so that not the slightest delay can be anticipatad. Something even more acceptable to anxious capitalists has al s o I.)4eu se cured, viz., the guarantee of the East India Com pany of a minimum annual revenue of 20,0001. per annum, equivalent to 6 2.3 per cent, on the required capit d from the date of the first message received, together with the most positive assurances of assistance and support. This guar antee will of course receive the sanction of the InJian Board. Until that sanction is ob tained the directors pledge themselves that no step shall be taken. But although it is s ttis factory to have "assurance made doubly sure"— to knOw that under the most favourable circum stances there must be a remunerative return for the inveAment3---we believe that it will be a mere formal guarantee, which will never be brought int) operation. The returns, which may be inspected at the office, show that there is every prospect of a large excess from the legiti mate and ordinary operations of the C )mpany. When this is completed, as we hope and be- lieve it will be within the present year, India will virtually be brought within a week of England. Bat it may, and ought, and must be broUght within an hour. For this we have long contended, and this is perfect'y practicable, nay more, comparatively easy of attainment. The extension of the lino toKurrachee is indispensable. There it will be brought into connection with the various lines throughout India. Of course the present shareholders will have a priority, by means whereof considerable premiums may be autici- We shall not ask our readers to "lay down their money for the glory of GOD and 5 per cent." But we call upon capitalists to examine closely and strictly the financial prospects of the concern, which are, perhaps, more satisfactory than any that have been tendered for public acceptance for many years past. Should they be satisfied merely in the £ S. D. point of view; we can assure them that they will not have any `drawback in the enjoyment of the profits. It is a truly patriotic undertaking which will do more to ad vance the combined interests of England and of India than any other that could be devised. Not only will it yelieve the anxieties which so many families must entertain for relatives and friends, but it will enable us to economise our resource, sending troops where they are most urgently re quired, and doing exactly what the exigencies of the case demand, and nothing more. It would be worth the ()Why ten tines told to have had it in operation at the com mencement of the mutiny, and we fear that there is no immediate prospect of its not be ing required for warlike purposes ; but eve n if such were the case it would be a valuable auxiliary to commercial afftirs—one worth far more to the, nation than the ample dividends which will be received by shareholders. The pro ject is in every respect worthy of support, and that it will doubttois obtain from every true hearted Englishman every man' desirous of ensuring the _integrity arid permanency of the Anglo-Indian Empire.

For the present there is no idea of a French ex pedition to Cochin China. All the naval forces sent to China, by France, have arrived at Macao. A despatch from Naples says the Criminal Court of Salerno has declared the passengers of the Cag liari entirely innocent of any participation in the !ate attempt to, create revolt in the Neapolitan dominions. The Emperor, after leaving Paris on Saturday at two o'cl ,ck, stopped at Epernay, to visit the railway engine factory at that place, and arrived at Chalons at half-past five. He visited the camp at fifty minutes past six. Before the Emperor left Paris, Cardinal Morlot, Grand Almoner of the Emperor, took the oaths o that office in the presence of the Ministers of State M. Abbattucoi and Marshal Vaillant. There was a Council of Ministers in the morning. The closing of the Exposition of Fine Arts, which was fixed lb:. the 31st of August, is post poned to the 15th of September. The Debats contains the following :—"For some days past, several journals have announced the approaching rupture of diplomatic relations be ween the Courts of Turin and Naples. We think we can affirm that such a rupture hay never ben imminent, and that the incident alluded to has been completely arranged to the satisfaction of the two Cabinet. The note of M. Caraffa, Minist.-r )f Foreign Affaira at Naples, addres=ed to the Sar dinian Minister at Naples, was withdrawn on the observations, as just as moderate, of Count d Cavour." Tho calculations of the Frenth budget of the War Ddpartment for 1858 have b:en established on effective force of 392,400 men on a peace footing. and with a contingent to incorporate of 75,000 men. This contingent is composed of 39,300 infantry ; 18,430 cavalry ; 11,400 artillery ; 2,600 engineers ; 3,000 wziggob. train ; an I'7o veterans. The number of pupils in the principal mill ary schools will, in 1858, undergo a verysen-ible diminution. The Poly technic School will during that year keep up 260 old Ind . admit 130 new pupils, inA3ad of 310, whom it supports at the pre.eilt time, and . 170 whom It will admit in 1858. The Staff School, which now !las 90 sub-lieutenant pupil 4, will only have 60 in 1858. The School of St. Cyr, which has now 800 pupils with 400 admissible during the present year, will in 1858 have only 620, and will only admi. 300.

The session of the States-General of Holland was clesed on the 26th by the Minister of the Irverior, who delivered the following speech : " Gentlemm,—By order of the King I now ClOit • the session of the States General. Many important matters have been brought, to a termination through your co-operation. The first bases have been laid fur the union of a ceit tin number of communes, and new arrangements have been adopted relativ,- to the deep-sea fisheries and the game laws ; navi gation has hem relieved from the borden of the Sound dues ; and towards the end of the session the difficult question cif • primary instcuctod wa , decided by a general understanding in a manner worthy of the high importance of the subject, and in unison with the exalted mission of the Legislative Body. The King followed with ptr ticular eatisfaetion the course of your proceed ings on that question, and he has confirmed the modifications which were so much desired by ac cording to the law his supreme saucfon. Several important bills, however, still remain undecided, and the number has been recently increased by that which relates to different branches of the me dical art. All these projects will not have been presented in vain this session.

It is difficult to assign any reason for the dullness of trade ; but we consider the quiet in most articles, at this time, arises principally from the fact that counlry orders are very scant, owing to the celebration of the an niversary of Ft eedom, and the apparent intention :na the part of the pesSen#ry ti continue, yet a while, the " keeping the Aueust holidays."

(From the Georgetown Royal Gazette ) Thestirring evei.ts of V!e last fortnight have some what disturbed the usual dulness of tropical life. An outrageous attack made by a low rabble of woinen and boys on the Governor and Mrs. Wode house, as they were proce ding from the public buildings to the Market Stelling to embark for England, has aroused the indignation of the respec t,ble inhabitArits of tee colony. A large crowd composed of the lowest scum of the population, had ,assembled in front of the market, and as the Go vernor and Mrs. Wodehouse, accompanied by the Bishop of Guiana, Mr. Walker (the Lieut.-Go vernor), the Chief Justice, Hon. W. B. Wolseley, Elon. D. Macd )nald, Hon. Dr. Blur, Sir W. H. Holmes, Mr. A. F. Gore, Mr. J. Brumwell, Mr. E. T. E. ailton, Mr. W. Ware Mr. R. S. Turton and several gent'emen, were walking to the Stel ling, they were assaulted by the mob with st unee, plaintain stalks, and other missiles. We regret to say that Mrs. Wodehouse was s;ruck on the forehead with a s'ntie ; the Bishop received several blows, th-) L rd Chief Justice was wounded in the ear, and Mr. Wolseley in the face. Several other gentlemen were struck with missiles of one kind and another. "Phis police charged the mob, and kept them back, but they took none into custody ; and, although there were several detectives among the crowd in, plain clothes, they made no arrests. The most singular fact is, that the police were ignorant of the fict that the rabble had assembled for the purpose ef insulting the Governor on his departure, and that the watchword current amongst them for several days before was, " Are you going to the funeral?" " Where ?" "At the Stelling, on Satur day afternoon, •at four o'clock." It lied also been suggested by some of the instigators of these ruffianly proceedings that "No rotten eggs should he thrown at the Goveroor on that occasion." The converse of this was what the patties meant. In passing through the market several missiles were thrown at his Excellency. One fi-l'ow was struek down on the spot by Sir W. Holmes, and another, names Welch, a man possessel of some prop:-rty, and the owner of a number of prin.'s, was recognised. He has since absconded. When the Governor and his lady had entered the boat, .some wretches in the slaughter-house threw •offal and other offensive matter at the boat, and some women on the Stelling threw stones. As the boats proceeded to the steamer some African savages, who were out in the stream in batie , ux, vented their impotent rall'ee by throwing water with their peddles towards the beat.

The f)llowing is extracted from a letter dated Island of Banca, July 11, 1857 : " The Transit has come to grief at last. Yesterday morning, at 10 o'clock, we were steaming along at about nine knots an hour, when the vessel suddenly struck on a reef. In a luarter of an hoor the water was over the engine passage, and it became very evident that we should be oblfged, to abandon her. The boats were got out, and conveyed the soldiers to a reef about a mile and a-half away. The size of the rock where we were stowed, was not more than-25 yards, and the tide was rising. The boats kept going backwards and forwards landing tsoops, and when I lett the rock - (one of the last three) the .rater was within two feet and a half of me Thanks to God, all were got sillily to land, fires were lit, branches puled dowri, and things made as snug as circumstances would allow.

The following letters have been addremed to the editor of the Times : Sr,—.[i do not doubt that your column are open to me for self defence. In your City Article of Thursday last it is stated, that "as to the Surrey Gardens the facts appear to be such as must, sooner or later, lead to some crieitnal proceedings ;" and " that Mr. James appock of Cleveland-row, St. James's, who is represented to have been the acting director, makes no sign." Such a reference to my particular Caine, on the day of a public meeting of hostile p art i es interested, was cal culated to do me persorial prejudice and injury. I make no complaint of your report of the proceedings in the Times of Friday ; but the affidavit by Mr. Coombe eas never read or used. Your own report says it was CIA " without remark or discussion." I was wholly unaware of the contents of that affidavit until I read It in your journal. The directors were ell equally ignorant of the document, therefore, of course, coule not file any answer. I will hereafter prove it to he a tissue of garbled statements, and I pledge myself to con tradict all its material averments. - I have ample proof in the handwriting and correspondence of Mr. Coombe hiwself that such affidavit is substantially untrue. In t our leading_article of this day (Saturday) you so ninent on that geuilernan's affidavit, and I am alleged to have received a larger suin of money for my security than even Mr. Coombe states ; whereas I was not the recipient of a farthing, except so far as I foolishly sub cc, teed my original lien in shares. I could not make any " sigh" until the day I did make it. My fir-t opportunity was that before a comps t int tribunal. The previous meeting of shareholders re presenting a small portion of the capital was anony mously convened, and personally I had no notice th tt any such m-eting had been called. It was not designed' t'iat I should be present, and if I had known of such a partial meeting of a fe w shareholders should not have attended.. • I now challe'oge the most-searching inquiry into my acts. Nsither directly nor indirectly have I derived the smallest pecuniary benefit front the Surrey Gardens. I did not originate or plan the company. I originaFy joined it rsluctantly. rultimately agreed to take shares to the full amount of my charge up n the gardens from my desire to aid the previous proprietor, to whom I had advanced thefull value. I thought the company would be profitable, or I should not have embarked .my entire and large debt in the risk. My brother directors and myself laboured - successfully in the first season. The result was deemed by us and the shareholders t justify a dividend. We then prepared for a second reason on a more liberal scale of outlay. The past season has signally failed us: Oar expenses wn'e too great, our capital was insufficient for such an undertaking. The average weekly receipts of the second season have not beeii more than half those of 1856. We endeavoured to reduce our expenses, but we were constantly advised by the very persons also now celutnnitie us to increase rather than diminish them, as the only means of retrievieg losses. We could not and did not take any measure to increase our capital, and we t late discovered that, as amateur directors of music management we could not profitably conduct such a place of public emus , meat. Creditors became pressing, the joint-stock property was in danger, actions at law were commenced, and applica'ions to wind up the company were threatened. Under such circumstances the " Winding-up Act" w:is our only alternative. Our direction was originally composed of rig members,: to Christmas last ; we had no differences. At Christmas we added a seventh gentleman to our hisard. In May het one of our body resigned, solely be cause be was dealing with the company in business, and therefore could not legally continue a director. In 'the month of July last two other directors resigned. We met comp a week, and °cession tidy oftener. The direc tors throughout their administration were unpaid, and had no privilege beyond any other shareholder. I may fairly add, without prejudice to my fellow-directors, that during this season my Parliamentary agencies required my almost exclusive personal attention, and unavoidably limited my pewer ,of attendance at the meetings of the direction. We shall hereafter have full opportunities for public explanation of all our j int and several acts. I will now only add that the full amount due to the Seacole fund has been paid to Cox and Ce., the bankers. To the Surrey Gardens the Seac, is festival was a los., and the net profit to that former fund was 2231. 9i. 81. There has be n a difference between that fund comniit tee and us a' to what portion of the net receipts belonged to the Seacole fund. If it be alleged that 'any larger sum than the one now paid is justly, or morally v or equitably due to- that clairty, is shall he left to arbitra tion ; and, aided or unaided by my brother directors, I will not hesitate a moment individually to pay aoy fur ther sum awarded. Whatever my personal want of judgment or common sense in this company may have been, I wiil not rest un der charges of want of . integrity. I have forborne to re taliate on those who have unjustly abused me. The com mon o ject of all really interested ought to be the Injure profitable conversion of the gardens. Tte music-hall is the best iu the united_kiugdom, and the gardens have no metropolitan or provincial equal. The directors will concur in any plan to promote the remaining-interest 01 the creditors and shareholders, and they will endeavour to di-charge their duty regardless of calumny or roi,r,pre , entation. I aro, Sir, your obedient servant, JAIIES COPPOCS, 3, Cleveland-row, Westruimter, Aug. 29.

On Saturday evening at 8 o'clock a very crowded and influential_ meeting of the eleelors of Middlesex was held at the New Globe Tavern, Mile-end-road, for the purpose of hearing from the Hon. G. Byng (late M.P. for Tavis tock) his views on the leading qUestions of the day, an d to adopt such measures as may be deemed necessary for securing his return, in the place of Lord R. Grosvenor, as their reprentative in the Commons House of Partite. ment. The large room was filled, and on the hon. gentleman Making his appearance in the hall, supported by his friends, he was most enthusiasticaly cheered. The Hon. G. BYNG said be felt he was coming among them as a stranger, but he bore a name which was not so, and it was party on that ground that he appeared before them that evening. Before he referred to 'the political sufjects of the day he wished to make a few re marks why he appeared in his present pmition as a can didate for their suffrages, and here he might remark that to represent the important constituency of Middlesex had always been the highest point of his ambition. (Hear.) Last Tuesday • be most unexpectedly received a tele graphic message while in Germany stating that the sea t was vacant, upon which he immediatel hastened to meet the electore, and issued his address asking their suffrages. (Hear, hear.) This was the first meet' ing that he had held, but he hoped would not be the last. He should state his views on the different polideta questions of the day, and leave it to the electors to saY whether they would not return him as their member. Having apologized to the electors for detaining them with remarks relative to himself, he would now brieflY touch on the state of the country abroad and our home policy. With regard to the former, there was one sub' ject in particular that at present engrossed the public attention, one on which a politician, And especially young one, should be careful in giving an opieien— meant the state of our Indian empire --( hear )— in which scones of bloodshed and massacre were now no strangers . He had heard it said that the country and Governmen t were unprepared for this smitten outbreak. It did seem to him impossible that so fearful a state of things could have arisen without some great and serials causes. He thought that neglect and superstition, in: dolence and supineness, bad had something to do with it. (Hear, hear) He s a id s o b ecause t h e warn i ng s of G. neral Sir C. Napier and other distinguished men of experience must have shown that some greet outbreak would occur. (Hear, hear.) He said neglect and Fu" pineness, because those officers who had been in charge of the Sepoys had been removed and. placed in the cis' service, and the Sspoys, thus finding that there was n° one to take charge of them, had taken advantage. He felt that it was an utter impossibility to hold on i. Indian empire by justice alone. There must be sia adequate force to support that justice. (Cheers.) Agate he thought that most reprehensible of all systems, cen tralization, bad had something to do with the present state of-affairs in India. Scarcely an officer iu India bsd any control placed in his bands—as an instance, not even the sentence of a court-martial could be carried in t° effect without going to the highest in authority for sane' tier. These things were the great source from which this shocking mutiny arose. It might be said that they ought to have been forewa rne d an d f orearme d . B og 's" had a most efficient army at the time of the Rue' sign war, but aft er th a t it was t h oug h t that there wale' be a political lull, an d thi s I n di an a ff a i r came on sna.' denly. It would not be policy for her Majesty's Min tern to go to the h ouse an d as k t h e mem b ers t h ere an then to sanction any great and impertant change in tb ° army, by either disbanding troops or augmenting th e army. What would hon. members say to their conkt l : tuents if they merely took the word of a Minister that such a thing was necessary without asking for the fulles t information on the subject? His opinion was that there must be a larger force in India. Had there been that - 1 and it could have been bad if every information bat; been given on the eubject—they would not have bad India in its present state, and many valuable lives niigb' lave been saved. However, as it was now there was WI help for it, only by looking well into the question °' what should be done for the future. He saw that Si r E. Perry had a notice on the paper of the house of a metion which he intended to introduce next session, wil e ; ther it would not be m ere d esira bl e th a t t h e G overn ment of India should be transferred from the East India Corn' pany, and for the futu re •b ecome par t an d parce l o f be` Majesty's Government.

Coming' _ then, to home 'affairs, the chief points that had eegage d his attention were Parliamentary reform, vote by ballot, Jewish disabilities, and church rates. He thought the question of Parbainentiry reform one of the greatest that could be expatiated on. They had lately had seve' rid measures introduced, but none had been carried.
