BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY Has ever since its introduction to the public been recognised, both by scientific men and the trade, as the best article ever manufnctu-ed in this country. Its claims to such pre-eminence are based upon itso unthe ri ' Tilled purity , and its cl ser assimilation than any other t flavour of the finest Champagne Brandy. There has been no Brand , made from wine in France, either in the Present year or in the preceding one. Owing to the successive tenures In their vintages, the French wine grower gets a higher price; or his Wine, c ' nsumed as such, than he can realise by its being dtilled • Into Brandy; and forasmuch as the foreign Braney of recent impor tations is but the product of British g rain and beetroot spirits, having been distillel from a particular French wine no linger exits, and is no loneer worthily as•hinable t., it now that it is bunglingly made from other materials. The supply of wine for distill , tien into Brandy having fai, the Frnch distdler is constrainell to recur to a manu- facture in led which he e nees the quarter of a c mtury's experience Which has been exeresed. upon that of BE • TR'S PA'T'ENT BRANDY, to render his article I, spectahly competitive, and he has sot had it. Under these ci,comstanees the Messrs. Betts challenge that their PATENT RRANDY is superior to any now made abroad. It is to the interest of the public and the Messrs Betts that these facts should be widely spr, ad, for recent importations are of a quality so inferior as to di grace the name thee hear, and are twice the price of BETTS'S PA TENT BR A NITY, which is supplie d by the trade, in cansuled bottle s, to private famine- in any qun• litY• down to the single bottle.

He was, as he ever had been, the advocat3 of pro gressive rcforin ; was favourable to an enlargement of the suffrage; and, during a career of many years, was never lint once absent from h's post when any mealve of that character was before the,l»,u,e. . - Mr. , RICARDO, who was also warmly received, maid that it addre , a.s went for anything., then his opponent was an out and-out Liberal ; but he thought it more likely, from hip auteitedents, tha , he would be a supporter of Lord D.'rby. The pre sent opinion Of the Government was do opinion of tie country—he hittise!f supported it. It was Liberal, and this borough, by the return of its tried Liheral members, would give an additional support to Oat Government. Mr. VANSITTART then came forward, and was received with tremendous cheer,ng. He said he was sorry that his opponents, in the att tcks they had made upon him, hld not allowed the dead to re3t. EL) could excuQe them for their taint.; abut his inexperience in these Matters, but 16 days' canvass had tiu4ht him much in electioneering matters ; and in knowledgb to render him en effi c'ent representative of this borough he was, not wanting. He had been a soldier, and for years a magi , trate, holding high official appointments. lie was endeared to the ► , orotigit and its inte.re443 as a resident. He had be'en taunted about Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli, but he did not even know those gentlemen, and surely any act of his brother's ought not to attach to him - when he was hot even in this country to know about'it. He thought the Chinese war ought to be vigorously pushed until the British flag was fixed at Canton, and all the ports matte free. If he went into the hou , :e he should support the Church, and vo'e for all liberal and progressive measures ; should check Govern ment expenditure, vote for the extinction of the income tax, promote the interests of the working classes by the spread of education and emigration; and should always vote, independently of men or party, for liberal measures. A show of hands being taken, the choice was de clared to have fallen upon Mr. Grenfell` md Mr. Vansittart, upon which a poll was demanded. / ~'-~ i-? ~ ~ `_ ~:/ :: 2_ ~zr-r `~z ‘A'S ...,PAPER .

Yest -Hay the theme was: the Landon and Eastern Batik, which, having.

The addi . i. in to the list fir to-dry is furnished by CO North of &t -rope Steam Company. About a mouth back the Times cautioned the public that there -were unfa vourable rumours regard-in.; this untie taking which require I into tigatioir, all hotigh the rat reseecta btlity oft .e directors seemed to preclude the possi bility of th-re being anythisig really wrong. The result was that some of the lar g est proprietors waited upon the directors, and were solemnly as sured that, n . rtwithstanding some inc invenience which had arisen frem ac iidental caric es, nothing had occurred to interfere wish the permanent pro , perity of the concern ; that the large dividends pail had all been honestly earned, and, of course, that t ere had never been anything more uninstifiabSe than tl e distrust suggested by the Times. It was added, moreover, f.ati at them eting of the company ab ut -to be lieet-ev - ery chrtfail"tv add - be - enstrr.k-;iit ' •,nd this favourabl e st a t emen t b e f u ll y confer That meeting took place to-day, Sir - Morton Peto in the chair, and the following is a narrative of t!.e pro ceedings., from which it will be seen that the de ec tore, like those of the Australian Agricultural Cem patty, have pnalled the entire property of Ili& con stituent; by leaving it recklessly in the contrei of a siagie individual ; that 50,000/. or upwards, out Of a capital. of 500,0001., has hoer lost in the course of a few month-s, without the board having the slightest suspicion of the circumstance ; and that se.e last half-yearly dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum was paid not only when there had beep no pro its, but actually while these ruin g oua proce• dings were going on. The chairman commenced I,IT adverting to the declaratkm of .a dividend in July last for the previous six months 'without the presentati n of accounts, these being inaile up annually. Thedistribution,which involved 13,0001., was made on the faith of a statement pre pared by the - managing director, Captain Andrews, showing for the half-gear ending midsummer a profit of upwards of 20,000/., and certified by Mr. - J. E. Coleman. that occasion Capt. Andrews personally ..ddre , s , d the proprietors, alluding to the oesiti'm and prosirects of the company, which he destcribed as satisfactory, and it was then supposed that when the meeting took place in January there would be at least an ova if not an augmented di vidend. Soon after Christmas the accountant of he company died, and it was found, notwithstand ing every exertion, innpossi'le t complete the ac counts in time for the usual int et in February. The directors, however, had 'no reason to believe but that the busin e s s had been in a favourable po sition, and it was not until Tuesday, w h en th e books were- brought into partial order, that they and Mr. Cob man discovered the fact of a consider able foss on the operatioes of the year. Capt. An drews, the managingdirector, was incapacitated to wards the close of the year through sickness, and although previously apparently in the vigour of health, the - disease from whi c h he s u ff ere d h a over- thrown his int dlect, and he was no long:r respou b'e for his acts. In this state of things th , 13,-st exertions had been made to prepare accoutts for the share holders but at present th e y were incom plet,?, although Mr. Coleman had ascertained that the loss wa-tat least 50,0001. This circunistaueehtd taken the .lirec ors greatly by surprise, and as Capt. Andrews, in whom the board as well as the shate- holders lia►d placed great confidence, could not be appealed to, the directors proposed,that a commit tee of shareholders shoul I be appointed to co operate with them in carrying out an examination of the acitounts . , and investigating the state of the trade not only with regard to the past, but also the future. With respect to the potkitlon occupied by hiinself, the chairman stated that his original holding in the company was 20,0001., but that, having confidence in the management of Capt , du Andrews and the position of the undertaking, he had increased it to 60,0001. fully paid lip. Conse quently, if the shareholders had been deceived, he hiinself largely participated in the sacrifice. The announcement of the loss occasioned great dissatis faction, and several shareholders arraigned the con duct of the directors for the absence of the neces- sary vigilance, and al,o the neglect of ordinary ar rangements, since the !o: s of the services ofa mana ger, and the death of the principal accountant could uct otherwise have thrown the compauy iuto such a state of inextricable confusion. In answer to questions, the chairman mentioned that of the fleet fuutt, , en vessels were employed, three under repair, and ten unemployed, and that the weekly pay -sheet at Lowestoft amounts to 140/. A variety of iuterrog tines were put with respect to the traffic arravgtmeuls, which were re plied to, but it . was suggested that it would be more desirable to allow a committee to take thew iuto considera.t'on. It was stated that the position of the share list is satisfactory, the majority being all 'ai I up. A i•harcholder inquirei if the la 4 divi dend wag declared, when there was in reality no profit. The chairman said be ft aredfromwhat had qnce been ascertained that such would be found to tho ca e. Two or three proprietors then desired Mr. Coleman to explain how be came to certify to the accounts. In reply tie stated that the accounts were regularly audited to December, 1855. Being made out annually, there was n) balance-sheet pre eared to th. 4 30th of June, 1856. Ast dement of the earnings for th. se six months was, however, submitted to himself and the directors by Captain AndrewP, which showed, from the emploprien . t of vessels in the transport u rvice and other sources, a total of al out . 424,00 r, 'gild upon that it :VT•ifil p resumed , adi v iden. ftb50,7 . 1.) ngl_B(ioOt. to 14,000 i. might be wifely dedal•e(l! • The loss which has now aceru'lltt fi6th' the opbrations and Mr. Coleman refused to place it at a maximum of 50,0001., the Or,. the, accounts not having Ewen finally completed; .One dim ehold er complaut..it that the directors should have given sr) f , vourkble an account after the warning uttered by the Times.

Capt.

In co-operation whi► them the directors would at a future day be able to pre sent a report with such recommendations as might appear consistent with the interests of the propri— tom After some further discussion it was agreed that a committee of six shareholders_ should be ap_ pointed to investigate, with the directors, the situa tion of the undertiking, and Sir Morton Peto pledged himself that the report shall be circulated a week previously to the adjourned umetiog.

THE P - - _ - EAST INDIA POLICE SYSTEM IN BENGAL. —A copy of a despatch relating to the s , the late H ouse of ys t e m of police in the Bengal Presidency wail laid before C o mmons, on the motion of Mr. Binn aird, the ex-mem. lasi- for Perth. The G,,veroor-General of India has had his attention directed of late, on various occasions to the character and proceedings of the pollee in different parts of the peuinscla, and the reports laid before him have combined to deepen the conviction that an imme diate and thoroughreform of the police in all the old provinces of British Trdia is loudly called for. The evils to be contended W ith arei to be found both in the charac ter and want o f g nr arnsation of the police. The p, lice system i, a thorcogh failure, the police being all but useless for the p revention, and sadl y inefficient for the ° , e viction, m o f crime. To reedy the txisting evil s it i s pro poe_ pd to separate the police from the administration of the land revenue—to take the management of the police Of each district out of the hands of the magistrate, s od c , mmit it to a European officer, with no other duty to discharge, and finally to raise the status and secure the honesty of the police. It is also thought advisable to divide the police into - two separate portions—the pre ventive and the detective.

ELECTION INT gLLIGENCE. BATH. ThP nomination of candidates for the representa tion of the city in Parliament was hAd yesterday, upon a • hustings erected in. 'the Orange Grove. There was a tOltrably Lige attendance, hut - the ab sence of. colows, music,.and indeed of everything calculated to indicatl the party of the aspirants f r P:=.rliaraentary honour?, imparted t") the •ptocted ings a somewhat tame appearance. Tile Lilyral?, Mr. W.' Tito and Sir A. H. were the first to arrive. . They . were . attended by the .movers and sec. mins and 1 numerou?. influential gentlemen of tl,eir party, and were teceNed on their appearance o'i the hustings with sortre cheer:ng. Mr. Arthur Way, wlio offers hiinself 'as a Liberal C 4•servative, shortly fflowed, attended I , y. art influential bOdy of elect .xs holding. the views he professei, and wan also received wish some apulause. _ •• The MAYOR (Mr.' Cook) having briefly addressed the electors, • Mr. W. Hurri‘,,propoi, and, Mr. W. BLAIR sec .nded, the nomination of the late member, Mr. Tite. ••• • • ••• .• • Mr. GEO. NORMAN proposed, and Dr. FALCONER seconded, the niinatiori of Sir Arthw Elton. Captain DOLPHIN *posed, and Mr. SAEITif seconded the.nomination. of Mr. Arthur Way. Mr. TITE first addressed the electors, and was re ceived with cheers and some interruption. He said he appeiled to the electors of Bath whether he had keiit his word with them? (Cheers, and "No." " How.about Roebuck,?'.') He had voted for the ballot, for an extension of the fratiChige, for admini strative •reform—aye and had spoken to—(" Roe buck's 'motion.") . He *was ashainei to hear the nonsense about Mr. Roebuck's motion—it had no thing tri: do with adininistrative reforin. (Cheers.) He came to his vote in respect to Lord Palmerston —(hear,- and disapprobation)"—the electors knew that hiscame to Bath perfectly unpledged. He came down to Bath to attend a mectin.g—one of the largest he ever addressed,, and he found that meeting unanimous on the question of a peace-loving policy. The electors of Bath had sent him and his 'col- league to Parliament, - pledged to a peace-loving policy. They accepted that pledge, and he did not mean to say that they did not pledge him, rightly. (Cheers. and " No.") .He denied that Mr. Cob den's motion was a censuze of Lord Pahnerston ; it nu rely stated that . the papeyslaid befOre the house faded to present Fatisfactory Wounds for the affair of the Arrow. He asked any man who had looked into the blue books tr) say if that way not true? It was his.con.scientions conviction that it was true, and he voted on that conviction. (Cheers and in- tcrrupfien.) He' was 'proud to be a member for Bath, but Aims even more to feel that he was; an honest man. (Cheers.). With respect to Lord Palmerston, there was a meeting of hisiritliiis on th Monday before the vote. Mr. -Lindsay, a Lleral;' then told' Lord Palmerston that if he wcodd only promse . to send out a Venitiotentialy to Oniea, they would let bygones be bYgOnei and vote for hinito a man. What did they get in re turn ? ••Ailong-winded statement with ,ut On Thursday Lord Palmerston came doVin to the house and ated that he proposed to send out a minister to Ohinl.. (near.). If he had stated that on the Monday the electors of Bath would not have had the trouble of being there; and he fi ut 1 not have had the duty of addressing th In. (Hear.) It had been charged that he did' hot support Mr. Roe buek's .niotion, and that :therefore he had not sup- ,orted.administrative reform. The first.resolution on administrative reform was that of Mr. ligard ; the division was. 48 to 361. That was the fist time that he r evPr"tvent 'into the lobby with a sm)11 number. (A Voce—"You were then askimed of yourself.") No, he was.not ; he went on. (Cile , rs, " No," and "Roebuck.") On the 10th of July came the motion of Mr: Vincent Scully, and then the adminigtrative reformers divided, 127 to 142. More recently Lord Goderich brought forward his motion for administrative reform, and then they c ivied it against the Government (Loud cheers.) True, he - voted against Mr. Roebuck's motion, hut it • was not a motion for 'administrative re- form; andhevotedagainstitbeeause he believed that it would compromise the character of the nation, and embarrass the Government in the midst of a difficult war. He was an admirer of Lord Palmer ston ; he was the • elowereFit . 'man he had ever met, with, without any execution ; he admired his talent and his tact ; he admired his policy, and she vigour with which he carried it out(cheers)---he admired e bishops he had appointed, although they had. given offence to many/ (Loud cheers.) Hehon ouredtbe Minister who had the courage to despise class interests; he deServed his support; and he should have it. Mr. Titikthen stated that be bad voted against the regium donum and ministers' money, and then proceeded to criticise the chime of his• opponent,• Mr. Way. - He concluded by in viting' the electors to poll early for Tite and Elton. (Cheers.) Sir .ARTHUR ELTON, . who was warmly received, said the nation wanted in the House of Commons independent men,. who would not fawn or cringe, but would even brave the indignation of the Piime Minister, aye, and risk the rude but honest expres sion of their constituents' opinion, rather than not carry out the principles of progress. Of the public questions of the day, first in order of importance came the ballot.. (Cheers.) That was the first measure which ()light to he pres , ed on the at etition of Parliament, for as yet they did . not rightly know the honest opinions of the people. (fLar.) The people in some places could not vote as they pleased, but as s , me bne else toll them to veee. The ballot was not pit forward as a panacea, but as a means of enabling a poOr man to give an hon e. 4 vote. (Cheers.) He was in . favour of an ex tension of the suffrage on two grounds . . It was not safe for large bodies in the country to belit with out the slightest' influence on t!le le4islation. If they gave men's opinions no vent they repressed them, .and they caused them to nurse . feelings 1041 might rankle aid by-and-hie fortit iu disorder. The pot . man, too,, tattered lore froin, bad gevernment thin the rich mau—(loud cheers)--taxa - ien pressed mote tiewily upon firm. It was a mistake to suppose that • the income tax, for inst ance, only.. affectnl - the' rich and middle classes. lithe middle classes paid that tax they could not lay out so much on labour, and as was the case in Lonlon the otherday large num bers of labourers were thrown out of employ. He was for supporting any measure which would ex tend the franchise to the misses, who at present had no more influence with the Leg!slature than the bench befofe him. (Cheers, and no.) He should like to see ati`educwional test introduced, and would give the franchise to clergymen, surgeons, artists, schoolmasters, and othi-r educated men, although they might live in lodginr. He was in favour of a hett4 system of electoral divisions, and would either. disfranchise the very small boroughs, and give more members to the larger constituencies, :or el'e he would add the suirounding hatule•s to the small b. roughs, so as. to enlarge the electoral bo - - dies aiid lessen personal influence and intimidatiOn. He was in favour of an extended . education for the people, because he had faith in education. He was for education wedded to religion, and fur that rea son preferred a system of Government Aid to local rates. (Cheers and no) He would not support a school where merely secular, education was given, and although a Churchman, would prefer his child being taught by his Dissenting brethren than by no religious teacher at all. They wanted law reform, and he for one should never think it beneath the dignity of a statesman to endeavour to increase the happiness of his. fellow-subjects. " The greatest happiness for the greatest number" was what every Minister ought • to aim at effecting. He was net ashamed of the old Whig rallying cry of " Peace, retrenchment, and reform." Peace without dis honour to the national flag and name ; retrench mentwithout such petty meanness as would weaken onr national services, and reform without injury to the basis of our free constitution. He warned the electors not to be misled by specious remarks, but to go to the poll and uphold the Liberal cause. • Mr. A. WAY was received with cheers and some interruption. He first referred to the observations of the Mayor as to his having charged him with par tiality, and add he felt that the course taken of pnb lisiiing the writ on Sunday was offensive to those holding certain .views.on the Sabbatarian question, and in the second place the prre!e,,ding touc!ied•him because he was last on the ht-ld, and it had cheated him of two days' canvass. (Chee rs and interrup tion.) However, he • had, as advised by hip military proposer, attacked them in. column and en masse, and to-morrow he should bring to bear the broadsides of the heavy guns around him — (cheers and laughter)—should see his banner flow unfurled in victory. (Cheers, and never.) If re• turned be would maintain the fundamental prin ciples of the constitution as laid down at the glorious revolution in 1688—a limited monarchy, hereditary - House of Peers, free House of Commons, an Established Protestant Church, civil and rel,. gious liberty, and equal laws and equal justicelfor every individual in the realm. So far Const rvative on the other hand, he would call himself a Liberal if they liked it. (Cheers and uproar.) He would * support all judicious and well-considered measures of reform.: There was no man who heard him who did hot know • that reform was wanted in our law, con! ts, • and that 'our ecc'e.iias , ical court needed oughrevision. He had be. it surprised to hear Mr. Tite talk Of Johb Arthur Ra.buok, wh-n he had voted against him, ;Ind praise L I Palmerston, whom he had as , isterl in turning out. (Cht ers snd no.) • To come to other matt, rA. (A voic--;.-- The ballot.)

(Cheers and uproar.) Sir Ar:hu- Eloo had told them that it would protect the lowest voter, but would it not likewise prot ct the dishoire4 voter? (No, no, and a voice, ChurAt rates.) • He hoped to see the Church-rate system amended, but he would not support any ni-asure for the removal of Oiturdr. rates which did not give a quid pro quo.

(Cheers.). He could' not be lieve that Disraeli, Cobden, and men of all shades of par y found their way into the saute ~lebby by . accident. He would :put it to the eleetors whether the Barbarian Yoh deserved support, or their own countrymen. (Cheers.) Mr. Way concluded by inviting the support of the electors. The show of hands was then taken, and there being a large majority for Tite and Elton, Mr. Way's mover demanded a poll, which was fixed for to-morrow (this day.)

Teti ye as ago he that came forward to solicit their suffrages, and for fi ye' yeari by ha .1 l,ad the honour of leing their riareseetative, and he now . stood hefo'e them again :to ask thei r i u pport, and be asked the n to ect. uon.their cal lid aed upright iiid,cr,• - nents in deciding the ques ion whether he ow ht ti be returned as their repussntative, and ir-uch deoision was favourable to him, or wlteiher it would consign h'in to the shades of private life, he should'be satisfied. Mr. Chambers then pro ceeded to refer to the proceedings of the last Par liainew, and said that although it was the fashion to say it had done nothing, it appeared to him that it had carried some most important measures. During. the administration of Lord Palmerston a safe and honourable •peace had been obtained, and although at the cdinmeneement'of the war all the administrative departments of the State appealed to have broken down in the most melancholy man.' ner, so much .so that the voice of every one was hied up in if dignation and disgwit . at their pro ceedings. yet the moment the House of Commons expressed its opinion upon these matters a great change took place, and the army which bad before been in the most depressed and miserable condi tion, was speedily raised to a state of the utmost efficiency ; and it appeared to him that the House of Commons on this question entirely reflected the feeling eog_the_peopl,e. of England.. .theue,ptaci, ceeded t . 6"state - that he supported the Government of Lord Palmerston because he believed he would bring forward liberal measures, and he asked them whether they thought they were likely to get any reform from a Government such as would be formed by Lord Derby or Mr. Disraeli. If they wanted a GoVernment that would support the honour of the country, did they think, after the recent , debate, that they would effect that object by supporting Lord .Derby 1 He would not tike an unfair ad vantage of his lordship, however, and he was baund to express an opinion that if he had been in office he would have acted. in the Chinese question exactly as Lord Palmerston had done. (Hear, hear.) If it were so, then he could not help con sidering that his vote was a factious vote, and that it was ungenerous to the Government and unjust to the country to give such a vote. (Hear, bear.) Mr. Chambers next proceeded to refer to the pro- C-edings he had taken in connection with the Nunneries Bill, and he said he bad done all he could to pass that measure, because be considere 1 that at present the young women of this country who entered such establishments were virtually placed out of the protection of the law, and he said that if lie was re-elected it was his intention to introduce another measure upon the subjeiit, and he believed he should make out a much stronger ease for its adoption than he did before. He then stated that in all his Rirrami,ntary course he hail acted from a Conscient;ons desire to advance the intere ,ts of his c , .instituents and the country at large, and although they might undoubtedly deprive him of the high honour to which lie now aspired, he did not be- lieve they would do so ; but if they should, he should ever feel grateful for the honour they . had fornietly conferred on him, and for the kirolne4s he had on so mAny occasions received at their hands. Sir M. FAItQuHA.R next stood forward, and was rect.iv. , (l with !tend cheers. He said that he most cordially thanked the electors for the kindness he had received from them during his canvass, and for the promises of suppor;; that he had received. They all knew him as a neighbour. He was con stintly mixing with them, and they were aware that, 10 years ago, he came forward as a candidate to represent them in Parliament., and he was delighted to find that they had not forgotten him. (Cheers.) He could assure theta that if he had consulted .his own personal convenience he should not have had the honour of address ing them on the present occasion. He bad no desire to pluuee again into politics, but he had received such pressing solicitations that he could not resist coming forward as their .representative. (No, no, and, a laugh.) It was a slip of the tongue to say their representative at that moment, but he re garded it as a good omen. He came forward solely at the request of the electors, and he would repeat the observation that was made by his hon. friend Mr. Cowper when he first came forward, that it was his intention to open the borough, and. give the electors an opportunity of asserting their indepen dence. He was surprised that any gentleman should have ventured to make the assertion that he was merely the nominee of Lord Salisbury. He was no man's nominee, and if he was returned he should go to Parliament as an independent member, and the representative of the whole body of the electors. (Cheers.) It bad been said that he had passed three days at Hatfield House, and that he had come to Hertford indoctrinated with the opinions of those he associated with there. In reply to this he would state that he bad not even seen Lord Salisbury since last June or July. He had always told them that he would not pledge . hitnself to any particular course, but would go into Parliament thoroughly independent. This dettrinination was confirmed by what had taken place between the electors and ene of their late hon. members, Mr. Chambers. T':ey had on several occasions expressed their dis satisfaction at the conduct of that gentleman ; and what was the reason ? • Why, because in 1852 he had made a flourish of pledges which h's supporters thought he had not carried out. (Heir, hear.) If Viere was any distinction between their two late hon. members, it appeared to %rim that Mr. Chambers was the greater Radical of t e two ; and yet, upon Mr. Locke King's motion for extending the county franchise, he was found in the majority of 31 (21 of whom were placement that sup ported the Governtnent in. opposing that motion. (Heir, hear.) He then sail filet nothing but the determined co ilition that, existe l be7weeu Mr. Cowater,, „toad Chambers coeld preveat hair from being Asturrie t, n - 14 if eopteir had oierellt liNetit'btftwreoi-hitru-and•-Mr. ChNxibns, there .would. be no.doubt of. the resnl,t, and Ile prg•• d the electors not t, a-Ost ti ttle endea vour that would he made to carry n2"~. `Chambers into Parliament upon the ehoUlders ofhis ceilPdaeite;t Sir Mingo Farquhar then proceeded to state that if he had been in Parliament he should hive step ported Lo.d Palmerston upon the China ques and it was his opinion that no more had been done than was necessary to vindicate the honour of the country, add if he was elect d he should support the Government on that and every other question in which he felt they were in the right. He would support every well-considered and rational measure of reform and although' his opponents professed to laugh at Ls address and at his coming forward as a Lib -ral Conservative, they must have supposed that he bad been asleep for the last-ten years if he had asked for the suffrages of the electors upon any ether principles than those he bad avowed in his address. (Cheers.) With regard to the Chinese question, it appeared to him that a most gross in sult had been offered to the British flag, and that the British authorities had done no more than their duty in resenting it ; and although it might have been disagreeable to his party, upon that question he should certainly have supportrd Lord Palmer ston. (Cheers.) He at the same time, however, thought that at the outset of the debate, Lord Pal merston ought to have informad the house that he had sent out so able a diplomatist as Lord Elgin with full powers to settle the dispute, and he be lieved that if he had done so the Government would not have been left in a minority. If he was elected . he certainly should give no factious opposition to any measures that might be introiuced, and he should be the more inclined to support Lord Pal merston because he believed that he was really a Conservative at heart. (" Hear," and a laugh.) A show of hands was then taken, which was de .clared in favour of Mr. Cowper and Sir Minto Far quhar. Ap 11 was demanded on behalf of Mr. Chaml ers, which will commence at eight this (Fri day) morning, and finally close at five. Tim con test between Mr. Chambers and Sir M. Farquhar is expected to be a very close one. NOTTINGHAM. The nomination for t his borough' took place yes terday morning in thoExchauge-hall, Market-place —the Sheriff, Mr. Felkin, presiding. Mr. NEWMAN (a magistrate) proposed Mr. John Walter, and Mr. HADDON (also a magistrate) se conded the nomination. __ _ Mr. HART pt oposed Mr. Chas lei Paget, and Mr. MIINDELLA s econ4led the nomination. Mr. lionimrs, a member of the Peace Society, in .r,ler to make a peace speech, proposed Mr. Samuel Fox, but the mowination was not seconded. Mr. S. BEAN then proposed Mr. Ernest Jones, and Mr. W. S. MOTT seconded the nominadon. Mr. WALTER was the first to address the electors. He c , nd: raved the conduct of the persons who had combinut for the purpose of defealing Lord Pal merston on the Chinese question. He was ratified L gd Palmerston bad so ed honestly and ftirly in the mAter, and deserved the confidence and sup port of the people. He then at some length justifi e d the course his lordship had pursued, and his own BEDFORD. The nomination for this borough took place yea terday (ThurAlq) on St. Pet e. 's -green—t he IVI .yor (Mr. Kilpin) presiding. The candidates were Mr. Whitbread, Mr. Barnard, Captain Stuart, and Mr. K T. Smith. Alderman WILLIAMS proposed, and Mr. G. HIGGINS seconded, the nomination of Mr. Whit bread. Captain LEECH proposed, and Mr. R. NEWLAND :econdel, the nomination of Captain Stuart. Mr. G. HuRsT prof o , ed, awl Mr. ROSE seconded, ,he w.m;nation of Mr. Barnard. Mr. SLONE proposed, and Mr. DIMES seconded, he nomination of Mr. E. T, Smith. Mr. WHITBREAD, in the course of his ad cress, adv rted to the Chinese qut-stion, and stated the re;.son which induced him to support Ltrd Pal mers!on on Mr. Cobden's resolutimi. The pro c!edings in the House of Commons were a rictly of a private character, and the majority hal Wen biougilfab: ! ut by a combination. In the present condition .of p)liti::al parties he considered Lord 'Palinerston the only man who could efficienVy carry on the affairs of the nati-n, and if he was agd.n re urued he should be prepared to support his lordship. As a Liberal he would be happy to support any measures which would add to the in terest of the country at home and abroad. Capt. STUART took a differ .nt view of the Chine , e question, and mentioned that he had voted with the majori y in favour of Mr. Cobden's resolution. Mr. BARNARD then addressed the elector. He reviewed the Chinese cinestion'as pre,ented to Par liament, and expnessed au opinion that Lord Pal mentos' was perfectly justified in supporting .Bri tish officials at Canton. He bad much confidence in Lord Palmerston, and believed that the tlirotzgh the repre-entatives sent to the new Parlia ment, would show that they would not allow the British name to be insulted, or the lives of their countrymen to be jeopardised, only to suit par'y purposes.. He trusted Loid - Palmerston's appe +i to the country would ba answered to his satisfaction, and that the country would approve the course his lordship had adopted. Mr. E. T. SMITH announced himself as willing to support everything liberal -.that could improve the condition of the people, and expressed his readiness to support Lord Palmerston. A large number of hands were raised in favour of each candidate, and the contest is likely to be a severe one. The poll was be opened this (Friday) morning at eight o'clock. HERTFORD. The nomination of the candidates for the borough of Hertford took place yesterday. The proceedings commenced at 11 o'clock, and the writ having been read, and the other formalities gone through, Mr. E. D. Raymont, the mayor of Hertford, stood for ward and commenced the business of the election by call►ng upon the electors to propose candidates to represent them in Parliament._ _ Mi. F. J. GRIPPER proposed the Right Hon. W. F. Cowper ; and Mr. W. POLLARD seconded the nomination. kraRAW LEY proposed Mr. T. Chambers ; and Mr. Alderman YOVNG seconded the n mination. Mr. J. LAWRENCE proposed Sir M. Thrquhar, and Mr. H. COLEMAN, a tradesman in,the town, seconded the nomination- Mr. COWPER remarked that only two months age li,d stood before them in a similar position to th the now occupied, and they wound remember that at that time the opponents of the Government intended. unfairly to take advantage of the wording of the statute to keep on the war income tax for another year, blit he told them at the time tha. they had no such intention, an" tneresul hid con firmed what he then stated. The aivernm.ent of . .tl eVent ture.ntlw c ; Kit t , ev e ry itespect, ail et so ar Lord Palmerston w as mist anxious to reduce tie i lant4ene,of tpe4etl.l e , an d t o ltrser Il was consisteut, with itrhenour and sirety.T - They 'f had n r ady done' a, great iletil m that 'a irection, acid they were prepared to have done much teoceit.the Parli iment had not been so suddeely brought to an end by the proceedings of th it opponents. (Hear, hear.) What, the; was the cause of this step be ing tal en ? A haughty and despot c barbarian had dated to insult the Briti h flag, which no natien jealous of its honour could for a moment think of submitting, to, and lie had received the etiastis-ment lie bail deserved ; but the proce .ding appared to have come very opportunely for the purposes of the opponents of the,Gov e rninent. They had looked round them at home, but coold find nothing that would answer their purpose. First, they made it a ground of complaint that the income tax was n t to be taken off, and when they found there was no foundation for that suggestion, they turned round and said that too great reductions had been made, and that the country would be bankrupt. (Hear, and a laugh.) Find ing that neither of these arguments prevailed, and that the Home of Commons, by a majority of 80, sanctioned the financial propositions of the Government, they looked for some other question upon which they might hope to turn out ihe Go vernment, and they found it in the proceedings at Canton. By a most extraordinary coalition a ma jority was obtained against the Government, there by virtually declaring that the barbarian Yeh was right ; and be supposed if Lord Derby came into power an apology must be made to him for the proceedings that had been taken by our navy for the honour of Old England, and for proclaiming by the mouth of the cannon that they would not allow their country to be insulted by auy barbarian, how ever great he might be. (Cheers.) Now that the country happily enjoyed the blessings of peace, the Government was prepared to carry out those mea sures of reform that were required. ; and he would ask those who desired the progression of liberal principles, to consider whether they were more likely to obtain them from the Government of Lord Derby than from that of Lord Palmerston. (Hear, hear.) Lord Palmerston had accepted office at a period when they were engaged in a European war, and under very discouraging circumstances, when no other statesman would undertake the task; and by his energy and determination he had brought the vessel of the State sWe into p. rt ; and he could not believe that the people would desert him now. (Hear, hear.) He could only say that if they did, and if they gtve his opponents a majority, it would cause great delight in Russia, great delight in every despotic Court in Europe, and would give especial delight to Commissioner Yeh and his despotic throat-cutting barbarians. (Hear, hear.) He said, in conclusion, that lie believed the electors of Hert ford would certainly not take this course, but they would return their two old members and reject the candidate who would oppose the Government if he were returned as their representative. Mr. T. CHAMBERS then stood for ward to address the electors, but was r< ceiced with considerable dis approbation, and some time elapsed before he could be beard. He commenced by saying that he did not complain of the electors expressing their feel ings, although they might be unfavourable to him, and they had a perfect right to do so. cry of --
