B a t in rlVorting Lord Palmerston on this occasion, and in acknow edging the gratitude which the country owes thim for so Soon terminating, with honour, a disastrous war, in which we 'were involved principally by the vacillating conduct of a the sec tion of _,party now opposed to him, I do not intend t o aban don on my advocacy of those measures of administrative reform and social and political progress which the welfare of the People so urgently demands. I look back with satisfaction to the successful result of the first Meeting (over which I presided) for the Repeal of the War Income Tax. By economy and retrenchment the re- Mainder of this iniquitous impost may be soon extinguished, but, at all events, it should be placed upon a more equitable foundation, as between property and income. I felt myself bound to vote against the continuance of the Increased rate of duty on tea, because it seemed to me unjust to the trader, who had reason to rely upon its diminution, ac cording to the Act, confirmed by the declaration of official authorities that the scale of reduction would take effect in April next.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF WESTMINSTER. • - A OEXTLEMEN, -Dissolution has been rather more hastily resolved on, in the Midst of the Session and season, than in my humble opi ai" the real int eres t s o f the country required. As, howeve r, P~k no part wh a t eve r in its supposed cause, it is not , per , for me to offer opinions on the subject. iv tut , few brief expressions from one or two of the most i -s _,nguished supportrs of Government may possibly be at onu;ed to, illustrative of the extraordinary diversities of 4 .10 u on this most vexed question. The Right Honourable s. Ward Ellice, addressing his constituents, says that he does "t approve and sincerely laments" the extrem e measures esorted to in China. " That reprisals should in the first in alitance have been taken, aml the ulterior course reserved for the ~feterrination of the Government in England ; that the question t c' h generrl hostilities should have been reserved for higher au ,,,t3r- It would seem (he says) full time that this practice of the country in wars in the East, except under the ' B ain g necessities of se lf-defence, should be brought m ore directly under the control of Parliament." And who is M r. Elli ce, who gives these formidable re asons A g a inst his o wn vo t e ? U n d ou bt e dly one of the ablest, most b .,. sef ni, and, I wo u ld a l m ost add, most illustrious of the W h ig war V—an ex-Whig Minister. But however I may admire him, you know very well that uave not the honour of being considered a Whig, and that am certainly neither an ex nor a future Minister. Again, Sir William Clay, also on this occasion on the side of Ministers, says to his immense constituency, which he so a bly represents :—" The question whence has arisen the sup- Posed necessity for a dissolution, was one of the most diffi cult I have ever known submitted to the decision of the Rouse of Commons—one on which it was impossible to give "3' vote without anxiety and doubt." But being myself impressed with a strong feeling on the Matter, believing that a mistaken opinion had arisen upon it, What must my doubts and perplexities have been—earnestly urged, as I eventually was, by three sets of old and valued friends, of vehemently different views—the one requesting my approval, the other my disapproval, of these Chinese pro ceedings on so questionable an affair ? I had already resolved on the latter course; thus at least avoiding a violation of my own convictions, and I shall never regret having done so. But two things must now inevitably be done—the lives and Properties of British and foreign merchants mustb e placed in security—the prestige and ascendancy of British arms re stored or established. It is most satisfactory therefore to hear that a superior Government authority and some six thousand troops arc about to be despatched to the scene of conflict. Had this been announced during the debates, or, bet ter still, two months ago, when the first intelligence of this affair arrived, we might have been spared a premature dis solution, and an enormous quantity of oratory. It is true that on my last return from the field my health Was much shattered. I was enabled, nevertheless, in that Ression, while the war still continued, repeatedly t o take as Vi gorous and efficient a part as any other man in . Parliament (Perh a p s more so )—i n promo ting the great national object of th at period, the reinforcement, by all possible means, of our "AY before the enemy. In the ear ly par t o f th e ses si on of 1556 I energ eticall y (some t bought t oo muc h so ) called attention to th e shortcomi ng s 11 ,a (1 mistakes of our War Department--to the great va lue of M'Neill-Tulloch" report—to the undeserved treatment Y Governme n t o f th ose two meritorious public servants—an d to the mischievous prevalence of military favouritism. be !iii the latter part of last session I had the good fortune of ig the su ccess f u l mover o f th e a pp o intment of a Roya l Co mmission for inquiry into the monster military corrupti on and abu se —th at of the system of sale and purchase of coin- I nis sions. This s y s t em is at the root of all our m ilit a ry failures. t_u(aro a member of that commission. We have collected a great 1 3' of evidence. lam sanguine that the result will be the ' ne otnplishment of the greatest measure of army reform that ca n Possibly be effected. h Gentlemen, I don't pretend to say to what it may be attri t ut4 ble, but never have I seen the principles of Parliamen atYY Refo rm so comp l e t e ly i gnor ed as by the present House C ommons. The less regret, then, should we feel on the opPortunity now offered for a declaration of opinion through out the country of electors and non-electors. I. came into Parliament, even before I had the honour of being known to you, as a warm advocate of Reform. West Minster, long before that period, was the historical head quarters of this great cause. I have been faithful to it, I I tn vill never deviate from it.

Last night the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress enter tained her Majesty's Ministers and a brilliant and numerous company of the corps diplomatique and the members of both Houses of Parliament at a splendid banquet at the Man sion-house. The occasion derived unusual importance from the impending dissolution, and it was anticipated that the Premier would avail himself of his visit to the city to ex plain the grounds of the approaching appeal to the coun try. This expectation, a 4 the report of the proceedings will show, was not wholly disappointed. The guests began to arrive at half-past six, but the din ner did not commence till seven. Lord and Lady Palmerston were greeted on their arrival with enthusiastic applause. The company included his Excellency Feruk Bhin (the Persian Plenipotentiary) and suit, who have just arrive' in London, and whose Oriental aspect and picturesque appointments made them objects of peculiar interest. _ _ Among the other guests were the French Ambassador, the Turkish Ambassador and Madame Musurus, the Bel gian Minister and Madame Van de Weyer, the Bavarian Minister, the Marquis d'Azeglio, the Greek Minister and Madame Tricoupi, Count Bernstorff, Baron Rothschild, Count Apponyi, Count de Vitzthum, Don Gonzales Bravo, Maintim Khao, the Lord Chancellor, Lady Eardley, Earl and Countess Granville, Earl of Harrowby and Miss Wort ley, the Lord Bishop (London, the Right Hon. Sir Geo. Grey and Lady Grey, the Earl and Countess of Clarendon, Lord Panmure, the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Lady Theresa Lewis and Miss Lister, the Right Hon. Sir Charles Wood Rai La ly Mary Wood, the Right Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Smith and Miss Thellusen, the Duke of Argyll, the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Marquis of Breadilbane, Lord Stanley of Alderley and the Hon. Miss Stanley, the Right Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Talbot Baines, the Right Hon. Sir Benjamin Hall, M.P., &c. The musical arrangements were under the direction of Mr. Bath, assisted by Mr. Alfred Gilbert, Mrs. Clara Hepworth, Miss Cole, Mr. Wiltby Cooper, Mr. Seymour, and Mr. Lawler. Covers were laid in the Egyptian Hall for 300, and the dinner was served by Messrs. Ring and Brymer. The loving cup having circulated, the healths of her Majesty the Queen, Prince Albert, Albert Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal family were severally given from the chair, and received with the usual manifes• tations of loyalty. The L'IRD MAYOR then rose and said—The next toast which I shall have the honour of introducing to your notice is one which will be received with the most grateful and cordial feelings. It is to those brave soldiers and sailors who have so nobly fought the battles of our country, and shed their best blood for the purpose of upholding the honour of the British flag in every part of the world. (Cheers.) We are this evening honoured with the company of many distinguished haloes of both services who are en titled to our warmest thanks, and it affords me the greatest pleasure to propose their health. With this sentiment I shall connect Lord Panmure and the army, and Sir Charles Wood with the navy. (Cheers.) Sir W. F. WILLIAMS, in returning thanks for the army, referred to the unwise reduction which had been made in those subsidiary establishments upon which the strength of our army depended before the late war, and expressed his satisfaction that, under the auspices of the present Com mander-in-Chief, and of the noble lord at the head of the War Department, these important branches of the service were being restored to efficiency and vigour. There was great danger in carrying retrenchment too far, for, unless well prepared for defence, a wealthy country like ours, with a population of 30,‘ 00,000, would at all times find its safety menaced, its peace endangered, and its honour threatened. Sir C. WOOD—My Lord Mayor, my Lords, Ladies, and Gentlemen,—lt is with great pride and pleasure that I find myself called upon to return thanks for the navy. It is with pride that I find nay name associated with that noble profession over which I have the honour in some measure to preside. And never do I feel that pride and pleasure greater than within these walls, where at all times and on all occasions the services of the navy are so justly and so liberally appreciated. (Cheers.) I will not refer to the events of the late war, but to that service in which the navy in peace, no less than in war, is employed —namely, the protection of the commerce of this em pire. That is the bond which connects the navy more especially with this great city, the centre and focus of our trade. It is our boast that there is no part of the globe so distant that our trade does not extend to it, and it is our pride likewise that wherever that trade extends it finds the protection of the navy, under which it flourishes and expands. (Cheers.) Now, it is in the protection of our trade that the navy has been engaged in those hostilities which have formed the great subject of de bate for some weeks past. It is in the vindication of the outraged merchant flag of England—in the maintenance of those immunities without which our commerce cannot exist—that the navy has been called upon to act in the waters of China—(cheers)-----and I am proud to wiy that the navy has there displayed its usual skill and valour. (Con tinued cheering.) I gladly embrace this public opportunity of expressing my opinion that, in spite of some assertions to the contrary, which I utterly disbelieve, the navy has likewise displayed that other quality for which the British sailor is no less distinguished than for his bravery—l mean his humanity. (Cheers.) I have seen with indignation the statement that unnecessary cruelty has been shown towards an unoffending people. I utterly disbelieve that a4cusatiun. I believe that no hostilities have been committed except against those bearing arms against us, and for purposes necessarily connected with the defence of the position we hold. I know the utmost pains were taken to spare the in habitants of Canton—thatofficerswerelanded to warn them to remove with their property from the scone of operations —and that when the Chinese soldiers were deserted by their own officers and left to perish they were rescued from a watery grave by British sailors. (Loud cheers.) My lord, I hope I may be forgiven for speaking warmly ou this sub ject, because I feel strongly the unjustifiable and calumnious imputations which have been cast upon the navy. That ser vice has at all times been distinguished alkie for bravery and humanity, and I believe that it has on this occasion in no respect fallen short of the high character which it has en. joyed. (Loud cheers.) The LORD MAY said —We are this day honoured with the presence of the Prime Minister of this country, and we the citizens of London fee Lit a proud privilege to have the opportunity of assembling ambassadors, noblemen, and the great commercial interests of the country in this hall. (Hear, hoar.) The occasion upon which we have met is to express the confidence we have in the nobleman at the head of her Majesty's Government, who has upon so many occasions in times of great difficulty nobly stood forward, weathered the storm, and brought affairs to a successful issue. (Cheers.) lam sure I shall ho supported when I assert—Woe be to England when our brave soldiers and sailors are not thoroughly supported by the Government when unexpectedly called on to take decisive measures on any great emergency. The noble Premier is about to ap peal to the nation to express its opinion on the course he has adopted, and every lover of his country looks with con fidence to the result. I therefore propose to you " The Health of Viscount Palmerston, and may he long be spared to guide the councils of our laud." (Loud and prolonged cheering.) Lord PALMERSTON, who war received with loud cheers, said—My Lord Mayor, Ladies, and Gentlemen, often as it has been our good fortune to partake of the splendid hos pitslities of tho City of London, I may certainly say that it never fell to the lot of any Administration to receive those testimonies of courtesy and goodwill upon a more important and interesting occasion than the present. We are not deceiving ourselves, ialy Lord Mayor, when we interpret the manner in which you have been pleased to propose our health as a renewal of that expression of con fidence and goodwill towards her Majesty's Ministers which I had the honour of receiving not many days ago from your lordship, as evidencing the feelings and opinions of the citizens of this great metropolis. (Cheers.) We were not long ago, se is well known, placed in a minority in the House of Commons upon a question which involved a cen sure upon her Majesty's Government. I know very well that some of those who honoured us with their general support, viewing that question merely as a simple expres sion of judgment on a particular transaction which had taken place at the antipodes some months before, persuaded themsalvea that in giving their rotes against the Govern ment they were not pronouncing a censure up the Adminis tration ; and sonic of those hon. gentlemen assured me— au convinced with great sincerity—that they did not intend by the votes they gave to withdraw from the Go vernment the general confidence they had hitherto ex. .IVING CELEBRITIES : a Series of /ILA PBOTCGRAPHIC PORTRAITS, by Menu and PoLTBLANIE The number for March containe . .

But the great majority of those who voted knew perfectly well the full political import of their votes. The resolution was that the proceedings which the Government have approved were unjustifiable; and if the Government have approved unjustifiable proceedings, they have followed a course which deservedly must incur the censure of the Parliament and the people of Englan 1. We were persuaded, on the contrary, that those proceedings were right and necessary. We felt that great wrong bad been inflicted upon this country. We felt that our fellow countrymen in a distant part of the globe had been ex posed to every sort of insult, outrage, and atrocity— (loud cheers) ;—that a treaty with this country had been broken ; and that those who were locally charged with the de fence of our interests were not only justified in resorting, but were bound to resort, as far as the means at their command enabled them, to the measures requisite for their vindication. We felt that we should have been basely betraying a trust which our Sovereign and the country had reposed in us if we had not approved proceedings which we thought right, and which if we had been placed in similar circumstances we should certainly have deemed it our duty to adopt. (Cheers.) Well, my Lord Mayor, in ordinary cases, when the House of Commons censures a Government, that Government has but one course to pursue—namely, to retire, especially, if it thinks that the country at large shares the opinion pro nounced by its representatives; but on tke present occa sion our belief was different. We did not believe that the country at large shared their opinions. (Prolonged cheer ing.) I took the liberty, during the last debate, of saying to the House of Commons that I was sure their vote, if it were adverse to us, would no:, be ratified by the opinion of the country, and the result has proved how entirely we were justified in entertaining that conviction. We have even now, before the constituencies have had an oppor tunity of recording their votes, had numerous expressions of opinion from all parts of the United Kingdom—ad( iresses from men of all ranks of society, and of all shades of poli tics— from Whigs, Tories, and Radicals —declaring it right that when the interests of the country are at stake party differences should be forgotten, and the whole empire should rally together to vindicate the honour of the em pire. (Cheers.) We know—cur fellow-countrymen know well—that such will be the result of the appeal we are about to make, and even now, although the time when that appeal can practically be answered has not yet arrived, we have proof that the heart of the country is sound, and that it will reverse the censure which was passed upon us the other day by the House of Commons. (Cheers.) It seems that it is not permitted to me to talk of coalitions I or combinations, because they have been distinctly repu diated ; bat there was, if I am obliged to say so, an acci dental concurrence of the leaders of opposite parties in the lobby against us. (Laughter.) In that lobby there were the elements of a Government which expected to succeed to power by making the humiliation and degra dation of their country a steppingstone to office. (Cheers.) We are truly told that party spirit and perty ties are essential to the working of the British constitu tion. Some party ties were remembered on that occasion, but one party tie was wholly foreotteu—the tie that ought to bind every Englishman to the interests, the honour, and the glory of his country. (Cheers.) If those who voted against us had risen to power, what ought they to have done as the logical and inevitable consequence of their vote? They asserted that our proceedings were unjustifiable. They were bound, therefore, in the event of their success, to have apologised to the Chinese barbarians for the wrongs we had done—to have rebuilt the forts which our gallant sailors bad destroyed—to have sent from Woolwich new cannon in lieu of those which our brave seamen had ren dered unserviceable—and at the same time, in order to rewards complete whichthe measure b eoefn given r e res s , f othey the headsmust ha of f e o p u a r i d m t e h r e . chants, and the cost of the arsenic which had been used in Poisoning our fellow-subjects at Hong K ong . G en tl emen ', I cannot envy the feelings of those men who could wit ness with calmness the heads of respectable British mer chants on the walls of Canton, or the mur d ers an d assassi nations and poisonin g s perpetrated o n our fellow-country men abroad, and who, instead of feeling their blood boil with indignation at suck proceeding s , would have had us make an abject submission to the barbarians by whom these atrocities were committed. (Cheers.) But we are told by others that we are addicted to war. We are told that while we direct affairs this country will always be ems' broiled with other nations. Why, sir, our conduct is a refutation of that charge. Some of the men woo are now foremost in advocating these doctrines of peace were among those who concurred in engaging the country in that ne cessary war—the first great straggle in which we have been engaged during thelast 40 years. These men, how ever, forgot to help us to carry that war through to a suc cessful termination; they did not assist us in obtaining, in conjunction with our glorious allies; the French, the Sardinians, and the Tu r k s , that safe an d honourable peace the conditions of which these men had before pronounced to be unreasonable to ask and hopeless to obtain. They forgot to assist u.s in that, and when they accuse us of an inveterate propensity for war they overlook the fact that we succeeded in restoring peace to Europe. (Cheers.) We, too, are for peace abroad and for progres sive improvement at home, but the peace which we want is peace with honour, peace with safety, peace with the maintenance of our national rights, peace with security to our fellow countrymen abroad. (Cheers.) We believe that that is also the opinion of the British nation, and as long as the nation regards those as the principles upon which the government of the country is to be conducted as long as it shall continue to honour us with its confi dence, so long shall we feel pride in discharging the duty, however laborious and responsible it may be, which our Sovereign and her people intrust to us. (Cheery:) If the day should come when a different doctrine shall prevail— when peace is to be sought by humiliation and degradation, the country must look elsewhere—l will not now say where---(laughter and cheers) ; the country, I say, must look elsewhere for the instruments of the national dishon our and disgrace. (Cheers.) My Lord Mayor and gentle men, I again beg to assure you that we feel proud, justly proud, of the noble spirit which the country has exhibited upon the present occasion ; a spirit which it will always display when national interests are at stake. We feel doubly proud of being the instruments of the national will, and as long as we feel that we are so backed up, we shall set at defiance the accidental co neurrenCe—(laughter)—of unconcerting and uncommunicatisg gentlemen-- (renewed laughter)—who by a strange fatality may find themselves united in a vote to turn out the Government of the day. (Enthusiastic and prolonged cheering) The LORD MAYOR said—The presence of the foreign Am bassadors and Ministers in this hall gives us an assurance of the support and cordiality of feeling which exists be tween the great powers of Europe and other parts of the world, and we are anxious to takeevery opportunity of no tifying to them the pleasure we feel in their preseeee, and the deep interest we take in the progress and prosperity of honouredth the great u of the f ore i gn A m b assa d ors an d Ministers who have , 1 e (Cheers.)the toast withththeeyirreepormespenant.y; and p propose " the health with the illustrious n a m e o f C oun t Per sig c 4 u . His o fthe or Excellency cps p C d o i uinointtaPEi ci lt u S e IGNY following is a translation : r e turned thanks on behalf o r which en the tle —My Lon ra Fren ch, mayo Mayor and g - men,—Perrnit me, in th e name of the corp s di p lomati q ue, to thank you for th e h onour w hi c h you have doae us. To-day, when all E urope i s reconc iled, it is with most lively satisfaction th a t we fi n d ourse lves again in the midst of you, on such a s o l emn occas i on, f or nothing can be more ,i worthy of interest than the spectacle which is here pre sented. When wo behold united at this table the repre sentatives of two distinct worlds—one the inheritor of glorious traditions, which has for its mission the preserva tion of those virtues requisite for the government of society • the other exer c i s i ng qua liti es not leis necessary to the happiness of the people, and which are the founda tion of the credit and riches of the state; when we take part in the friendly communion between the chiefs of a great government and the rspresentatiues of a city whose commerce embraces the whole world ; when we consider, moreover, the union of the aristocratic and governing with the industrious and commercial classes of this country, all animated by the same spirit, and who, far from imitating the fatal struggles of Plebeians and Patricians of ancient Rome, only manifest for each other respect and sym pathy ; when again we recognise the eagerness with which the great of thi s l au d come h ere t o m i ng l e with the Medicis of this new Florence then, indeed, gentlemen, we have no need to seek further for the secret of the grandeur and power of your country; and whatever may be the nature of your internal debates and your political preoccupations, we know beforehand that your prosperity is assured. (Cheers.) Now, gentlemen, I must respond, as the Ambassador of France, to the wishes expressed by the Lord Mayor for the continued communion of interests of England and France. This sentiment of the City of London has, to my eyes, a great significance, because it recals to me the consequences of an analogous wish which was presented four years ago to my Sovereign under the form of an address, signed by four thousand houses of this powerful city. At that epoch, circumstances ap peered serious. Ardent politicians sought to arouse ancient national hatreds by representing the re-establishment of the Empire as the sign of a new war between the two countries. On each side of the Channel minds were agi tated by dangerous anticipations; when all at once the voice of the City of London made itself heard, announcing loudly that the English nation desired the friendship of France, and from that day the Anglo-French alliance dates. (Cheers.) With the practical genius for- affairs that characterises this country, the City of London admirably appreciated the relative situation of the two peoples. It had seen before all the world, that between the two Powers, one more especially military, and the other more especially maritime, there existed no longer any real subject of rivalry—that from the moment when England was in full possession of the advantages that Providence seems to have reserved for her by her insu lar position, her mineral riches and the particular character of her inhabitants; that from the m omen t, i n d ee d , w h en she had acquired supremacy industrial and commercial, colonial and maritime, she had nothing to gain in a coalition against France, but she bad, on the contrary, every advan tage in seeking her friendship. The City of Loudon per ceived, also, that France, being capable of again exciting the anxieties of Europe by her historical recollec tions, revolutionary or conquering, eel not l ess in terest in gaining the friendship of England ; for from the time when by an intimate alliance with the first mari time power of Europe France became mistress of the seas, she had nothing to fear from a continental coalition, and her frontiers were no longer menaced. At this day, gen tlemen, these facts have become common place, but at that epoch it was a real political discovery. The City of London, by its address to the Emperor, performed a great action, and I am happy to day, as the representative of my Sovereign and my country, to take this solemn occasion of thanking you for it. (Loud cheers. The LORD MAYOR said—The House of Lords has ever proved itself one of the greatest bulwarks of our constitu tion. In all times of difficulty it has proved itself the champion of true liberty and the sincere fr iend of the peo ple. I rise, therefore, with feelings o f th e mos t pro f oun d respect to propose " The health of the Peers of England," and with it I will mention the name of Lord Granville — (cheers) —who is always ready to unite with us in all that affects the happiness of mankind. (Cheers.) Earl GRANYILLE—My Lord, ladies, and gentlemen, I rise to return thanks, first on behalf of the peers who are present, and next for the assembly to which we belong, for the honour which you have done us in drinking our health'. Speaking for those who are present I beg to return you our most sincere acknowledgments for the cordial welcome which you have given us this day, for the occasion on which you have summoned us to meet you—(cheers)—and I may perhaps be allowed to add for the !err excellent dinner which we have just enjoyed—(, rmigt)7,ana in which you have combined the old traditional dishes of the city with the most modern inventions of the art of cookery. I happened the other day to cast my eye over some adver tisements, and among them I saw an announcement of a new sauce of peculiar excellence. (A. laugh.) It was stated that it had a most exquisite flavour, and would impart the greatest zest and spirit to the viands with which it might be used. The name of this sauce was the " Palmerston sauce," and I venture to think that you have given us an opportunity of testing the genuine article in the greatest possible perfection. (Cheers and laughter.) I am sure that this company, composed of well-educated Englishmen, perhaps as well acquainted as we are with the institutions of our country, will not expect me to deliver a constitu tional essay upon the House - of Lords— (a laugh)—but there are some advantages ari , ing from the existence of that assembly which are univere .11y recognised, and to which I may, without impropriety, refer. Although ours is not the most important branch of the Legislature, yet, undoubtedly, it is that which those countries which have adopted our representative institutions have found it most difficult to imitate; and it is worthy of remark that this house is so open to talent and ability of all descriptions that any citizen of London who gives his child a good edu cation may feel that it is quite within the verge of possi bility that his son may take his seat among the most ancient peers of the realm. (Cheers.) The House of Lords has sometimes done good service, not by finally stopping mea sures which have been demanded by the people, but by interposing a useful delay during which the House of Commons and the nation at large might reflect and fully make up their minds upon the import of these measures. (Cheers.) On a late occasion there was under discussion a question, not of legislation, but of the action of the Exe cutive Government: On that occasion the House of Lords was very severely tested. Some of the most eloquent speeches which were ever heard within the walls of Par liament were then delivered. To the spiritual peers appeals were made which seemed to threaten them with the cen sure of their fellow-countrymen if they voted according to their consciences and in favour of the Government. Those spiritual lords, or at least the great majority of them, dis regarded these appeals, and resolved to act only in accord ance with the dictates of their own judgment. In the adoption of that coarse they must have felt that an excel lent example had been set them by their humbler but most useful brethren who are engaged in spreading the gospel in a distant land, and who had the fullest know ledge of the facts and merits of the case recently so much agitated. (Hear, bear.) We were told that we could not in this instance trust to the opinion of those merchants who were most interested in the question, but, although only some half dozen of us are directly interested in the trade and manufactures of this country, we felt that our relations with China consisted chiefly of commer cial intercourse, and that we could depend upon the judgment of those honourable and enlightened men who were engaged in such avocations, and who, in stead of consulting their own interests, were actually making great pecuniary sacrifices, because they thought that the placing our relations on a more satisfactory foot ing would lead to such an extension of commerce as would be beneficial not only to ourselves, but also and at least equally to the subjects of the Emperor of China. (Cheers.) The noble viscount (Palmerston). has referred to the fact that the House of Commons has come to a different de cision ; but I do feel some confidence that the country, which is now about to be consulted, will think, as I rejoice to find this assembly does, that in this instance the House of Lords has been the most faithful exponent of the wishes and feelings of the people, and I venture to say that all who are present to-night will think that we had 30 good reasons for the course which we took, and that, notwith standing your liberal feelings and associations, you will with all sincerity repeat the sentiment of a Tory peer, " Thank God !we have a House of Lords." (L uid cheers.) • The LORD MAYOR said,—Nations are like individuals, strengthened and upheld by the confidence feltin them, and the uprightness with which they deal with others. The public relations of this country to other States are of the highest importance to its dignity and welfare, whether viewed as regards the benefits yielded by commerce, the advantage of social intercourse, or the maintenance of those relations of friendship by which the progress of society and the improvement of mankind are gr tdually de veloped. England occupies a proud position in the eyes of the world, and her foreign relations are consequently placed at all times in the hands of statesmen of great ability and high character. In the present instance we hate a nobleman conducting our foreign relations who bears one of the great names of English history, and who has proved by his ability and energy in times of trial that he can maintain the reputation of a great title. (Cheers.) By his care and watchfulness difficult questions affecting the peace and tranquillity of Europe are dealt with, and I propose with peculiar satisfaction that the cordial expression of the feelings of this assembly be offered to Lord Clarendon, with their best wishes that he may long continue to administer the foreign relations of this country, so as to maintain its honour and preserve the peace of the world. (Loud cheers.) The Earl of CLARENDON, on rising to acknowledge the toast, was received with great cheering. Ho said, My Lord Mayor, my Lords, Ladies, and Gentlemen, I am truly grateful to tho Lord Mayor for having coupled my name with the toast which he has just proposed to this distinguished assembly. The success aid permanence of our foreign relations havolve considerations the importance of which it is impossible to over estimate, and no one who fills the office which I have the honour to hold can fail to be sensible of the responsibility of the Government to the country for the manner in which its policy is conducted ; or, oa the other hand, can question the right of the coun try to inquire whether the Government, while upholding the honour, the dignity, and the interests of England, is careful at the same time to respect the honour and dignity of other Powers, and does nothing to lessen the esteem of our allies, or to endanger the permanence of peace. (Cheers.) Such have been the principles upon which our policy has been founded, and we may confidently appeal to facts notorious to the whole world whether in our hands the honour of England has been sullied, her dignity lowered, or her interests impaired. (Cheers.) No one who listened to the able and eloquent address of the repre rientative of France can have any fear for the friendliness of our relations with that and other countries. (sear.) Among the numerous foreign Ministers who are present to night I have great pleasure in .seeing the Persian Ambas sador, who has been received by her Majesty in order that he might present to her the credentials with which he had been furnished by his own Sovereign in anticpation of an event which has been happily realised in the conclusion of a just, honourable, and satisfactory peace. (Cheers.) But we are told that our foreign policy is " turbulent and aggressive." Although it may be difficult to prove a negative, I think that that policy is not " turbu lent" which has been conducted with an extreme re luctance to go to war, and which, within twelve months, has been signalised by the conclusion of two treaties of peace ; nor can that policy be called " aggressive" which sought no territorial aggrandisement, which desired no ex clusive advantages, and which was not even led by success to demand anything beyond the objects for which hostili ties were undertaken. Perhaps at no period of our history has so great a mass of official corr.spoudence connected with foreign afairs been laid before the public as within the last three or four years, and I will ask any one whe ther—although we have felt bound to uphold interests which we thought just —we have injured our cause by adopting any course to which the term " braggadocia " can be truly applied ? (Cheer'.) Nevertheless, we were told that we have alien a t e d our f r i en d s, an d that' our alliances are not permanent. We were lately told that we were willing to sacrifice even the French alliance for a worth less object by our obstinate pertinacity. Well, you have heard the French Ambassador testify to the state of our alliance with the country which he represents—(cheers)— and if we ever had any difference with France, it has been that honest difference which may take place between friends, and when such a diffence has existed we have sought for and have found an honourable solution. (Hoar, hear.) The consequence has been the maintenance in all its integrity and cordiality of that alliance which has been so beneficial to both countries, and the increase of that mu tual respect and esteem, without which no alliance and no friendship, be it between individuals or nations, can be either solid or enduring. (Cheers.) I may also observe of that country with which we have lately been at war, and which we esteem and respect as a noble foe, that the differ ences which have occurred since the signature of the treaty of peace have all disappeared. They have all been set tled in an honourable and satisfactory manner—a man ner which, I trust, will leave no soreness or ill-feeling behind. Time alone and a very short time, too, I am convinced is necessary in order to knit together in alliance two countries having so many interests in common. (Hear, hear.) I will not venture to trespass on your patience by travelling in our justification, as I sheuld like to do, over the map of Europe; I will only say I believe that at no time in recent years has there ex isted so thoroughly sound and wholesome a feeling as now prevails between the people of this country and tee United States, who, understauding their reciprocal interests, feel a determination that those interests shall not be disturbed by quarrels and disagreements, which may partially de range, though they do not interrupt., our friendly coinneu nicetions. I believe that this amicable feeling is shared as well by the Government of the United States as by the Government of her Majesty, and we have.this advantage, that the eminent man who has now been raised by the voice of his countrymen to preside over the destinies of those States has but recently left our shores, lies lived among us, has mixed with all clessesof our people, and has been able to appreciate the esteem and respect felt for his country by all sections in these kingdoms. (Hear.) Before I sit down I cannot help adverting to what fell from the First Lord of the Admiralty with regard to China—a ques tion which has lately engrossed all moo's miuds, and which has produced results so widely different from those which were anticipated by parties who did not coalesce or com bine' but who happened to unite—(a laugh)—in censuring the Government for doing that which any Government must have done iu their place—(cheers)—if they believed, as we did, that a deliberate insult had been offered to the British flag, and if they knew, as we did, that upon the protection which that flag affords depends the safety of every British interest. My right hon. friend has made a most just and true defence of Sir Michael Seymour, and I wish also to add that in my opinion Sir J. Bowr iug has been most unfairly treated. (Cheers.) Eiery species of vituperation and abuse has been poured upon Lim, and I am convinced that Sir Michael Seymour, like every brave and honourable man, will not only ex pect, but will claim, to share the responsibility with Sir J. Bowring. (Renewed cheers.) It is impossible that officers far from home, and without instructions, should not as sume a certain amount of responsibility ; and when they do so, and act to the best of their judgment and ability, I think it is cruel and ungenerous, and I am sure it is im politic, not to put the best construction upon their motives and conduct, and not to. believe that men placed in such difficult circumstances must be the most competent judges of the requirements of the emergency. (Hear, bear.) We approved the conduct of our officers. For that we have been censured by the House of Commons ; and thereupon my noble friend at the head of the Government has deter mined to ascertain whether the country atrees in that cen sure. The manner in which that appeal has been responded to, and, above all, the enthusiastic manner in which my noble friend has been received by this assembly, are the best justification of our conduct, and the best proof c hat we should have acted unjustly towards our officers if we had not upheld their proceedings and maintained the honour of the British flag. (Hear, hear.) The LORD MAYOR then proposed " the Church," coup ling with the toast the name of the Bishop of Loudon. The right rev. PRELATE briefly returned thanks. Lord PAIALEIISIO, in complimentary terma, gave " the [PRICE 4 0 . ►TAMPED 5D health of the Lord Mayor," which was drank with much cordiality. The LORD MaYoR acknowledged the toast, and proposed " the House - of Commons," associating with it the name of Sir George Grey. Sir G. GREY returned thanks. The remaining toasts included " the Lady Mayoress,' which was gracefully proposed by the Duke of ARGYLL, and " the Bar of England," which was responded to by Sir R. BXThELL. The company separated at a late hour. Mr. Harker ably officiated as toastmaster. ELECTION INT PLLIGENCE. LAMBETIT. At a meeting of the electors , held at Hawkestone Hall last evening—James Gray, Esq., in the ' , chair —it was moved by Dr. Howland, seconded by W. Boak, Esq., and carried unanimously, amid enthusiastic applause, " That this meeting, having heard the Statement of W. Williams, Esq , upon nancial reform, 'are of, opinion that his untir ing exertions in advocating the interests of the labouring classes, and his strenuous efforts to abolish.the income tax, entitle him to the support of the electors of Lambeth, who pledge themselves to return him as one of their members, in the ensuing session'of Parliament." FINSBURY. A public meeting of the friends and supporters of Mr. Thos. S. Duncombe was held last evening, at the British Institution, Cowper-street, City-road. The chair was taken at eight o'CloOk by G. Shillibeer, Esq by which time the large room was d ense l y crowded. Mr, buncombe was loudly cheered. Mr. DUNCOMBE, who was most warmy applauded, said that before' 1 hours were over, he should cease to be their representative, for they were told Parliament was to be dis &rived to-morrow. Now he hoped th'by would not be in consolable, for since that Parliament was called together, in 1852, he was not aware that it had done any good. For himself, he was there to fulfil his pledge, that so long as Finsbury was prepared to seed him to Parliament ho was prepared to stand by Finsbury, and fight the battles of the electors of Finsbury. (Cheers.) He was not aware that he had any votes to explain. (Hear.) Every sentiment, every pledge he ever gave them, ho defied any man to rise in that place and say he had ever falsified. (Cheers.) Then, what was he there to explain ? If there' was nothing with regard to the past, they had much to talk about in reference to the future. As he came into the room, a paper was put into his hand--" What do you expect from Lord Palmerston ?" Why he did not expect much frOm any Minister, unless the people put considerable pressure upon him. That could only be done through their repre sentatives ; and, therefore, it was important that they should have a _representative who would speak their minds in the House of Commons. Parliament was to be dissolved in consequence of rather a factious vote (hear)—and he stood by Government, because he never saw so dead a set against a man as was made against Lord Palmerston. (Cries of "Shame.") He (Mr. Duncombe) believed he was right in sustaining him—(cheers)—in his attempt to support the heno'ur'of the British flag. (Applause.) There was a party in the house called "The Peace-at-any-price party." According to ; them,- England was to submit to any insult, and apologise when they were not in the wrong and John Bull was to be in the humiliating position,. of having his nose pulled by the Chinamen.' (A laugh, and No, no.) He believed it was a deliberate insult to pull down the British flag and carry off the crew of the Arrow, and Sir John Bowring asked some redress, some repara tion. After some del a y the c rew were restored, but wheri our representative wished to have an assurance that no such outrage should again be committed no assurance was given. He then asked for an interview with Commissioner Yeh, who was about as great a miscreant as ever disgraced human nature - -a man who beheaded 70,000 huMan crea tures as rebels, because they wished to improve the insti tutions of the country, or were, in other words, reformers: (Shame.) They next seized certain Englishmen cut off their heads, wrappe d t h em up in pockethand kerchiefs, and carried them into Canton, where they were daly rewarded for the barbarous murders they had perpetrated. The next discovery was that the bread of our country men in -China was poisoned. After all this it was said Yeh was a clever person. His house had been•knocked down. Well, that served him right—(cheers)—and if th .se who condemned Lord Palmerston for sanctioning these proceedings had been in office they would have done the same. Mr. Cobden, he believed, had brought forward the vote from humane motives and in perfect good faith. It was, however, seized upon by the T or i es as a f avoura bl e opportunity of tripping up the Government. Then there was Lord John Russell, Sir James . Graham, and the Peelites, all colleagues of Lord Palmerston ; there old col leagues—and to that he begged attention—these old col- . leagues of Lord Palmerston, the moment they were put in the ranks, took the opportunity of tripping him up for pur suing the course they would themselves have followed. But he was told Lord Palineraton was no Reformer; pos sibly not. He should like to know when Sir Jas. Graham, Mr. Gladstone, and Mr. Sydney Herbert became Reformers. When he (Mr. Duncambe) and his late colleague, Mr. Wakley, represented to those.gentlemen that the Reform Bill had not gone far enough, what did they say ? Why, they gave them a decided negative as to further reform. Up to that time Lord Palmerston was as good a Reformer as any of these gentlemen, and now when circum stances had changed he wanted to know why Lord Pal merston should not be as good a Reformer as any of them, He (Mr. Duncombe) would be so if he were in his place, (A laugh.) But he was told in one breath why Lord Pal. merston is an obstinate old Tory, and directly afterwards, that upon sufficient pressure being applied he would go any length to retain office. That was just the man they wanted. (Cheers and laughter.) He believed he would go any length to retain office. The new Parliament would test him. They would then find out what he was made of. It was totally impossible that a Minister with expe rience like him should not attend to the wishes of the people of England. They would agree with him that he should have fair play. Should he fail or should he suc ceed, he should, as he had ever done, stand or , fall alone. (Cheers.) He should form no coalition with any party. He knew other parties were trying to cling to the skirts of his party, but he would say to them, with Liston, in the play, " Gentlemen, if you do cling to my skirts, then I will wear a sponger." (Much laughter.) That was the answer he would make to Mr. Cox, Sergeant Parry, or General anybody else. If they thought him worthy of their support they should go early to the poll. The hon. gentleman resumed his seat amidst tremendous applause. Thanks were voted to the chairman, and the meeting separated. MEETING OF MR. COX'S FRIENDS. Last evening a very numerously attended meeting of the electors of the borough of Finsbury was held at the Ulobe Tavern, Hatton-garden, for the purpose of hearing from Wm. Cox, Esq., one of the candidates for the representa tion of the borough in Parliament, an exposition of his political sentiments._ _ Mr. Cox presented himself for the purpose of a idressing the meeting, and on doing so was much applauded. A resolution to the effect that the meeting had heard with much satisfaction the political sentiments of Mr. Cox and considered him a fit person to represent them in Parlia ment was carried. MEETING OF 3IR. SERJEANT PARRY'S FRIEXIDS. Last night a publio meeting of elector•e of the borough of Finsbury was held in the theatre of the London Mechanics' Institution, Southampton-buildings, Chancery-lane, to hen from Mr. Serjeant Perry a statement of his political sentiments. The place of meeting, which seats 1,200 per sons, was densely crowded, and many were unable to obtain admittance for want of room. Mr. S ~ r jeant PARRY delivered an eloquent address, which w 0.3 received in the most enthusiastic manner. Ho declared himself to be in favour of a wide extension of the suffrage, and would support any measure introduced for a " resi dential" suffrage, and the ballot. Mr. JOHN LLOYD then moved a resolution, which was seconded by Mr. Babb, and adopted by the meeting,tbat he was a fit and proper person to represent the borough in Parliament, and pledging itself to every exertion to secure his return. SOUTH WARK. Last evening a highly respectable meeting of the elec tors of Southwark. resident in the locality of Bermondsey, was held at the Lilliput Tavern, Prospect-place, Bermond sey, to hear Mr. Locke, one of the candidates to represent the borough in the new Parliament, make a statement of his political opinions. The following resolution was car ried unanimously :—" That in the opinion of this ineetiiez, the clear and honest exposition given by Mr. Locke of his political principles fuly entitles him to the confidence and support of the electors of the borough, and we pledge our selves to use every means in our power to secure his return." Mr. Apsley Pellatt has reconsidered his determination to retire from the representation of this borough, and he now announces his intention to go to the poll. In all pro bability he will be returned. Mr. Scovell intends, it is sail, to contest the borough, and Mr. Locke will also go to the poll. MANCHESTER. On Thurslay, the 19th, a deputation waited upon the Right lion. R. Lowe, on behalf of 4,000 electors of Man chester, requesting him to allow himself to be put in nomi nation for that city. The deputation consisted of Mr. Al derman Neild, Mr. A. Turner, and Mr. J. Garnett, and they backed their request by an assurance that 16,0091. had been already subscribed by the constituency to defray the necessary expenses of a contest with so formidable an organisatio❑ as the League. Mr. Lows expressed his high sense of the honour which hid been done him, but felt bound in gratitude to the (doctors of Kidderminster, from whom he had always re ceived the utmo3t kindness and confidence, not to retire from the representation of that borough. The deputalien returned to Manchester yesterday morn ing to consult the constituency as to the propriety of adopting a requisitions to Mr. Massey, Under-Secretary of the Home Department. We believe there is no doubt of their decision, and that Sir J. Potter and Mr. Massey will be nominated in opposition to Mr. Bright and Mr. M. Gib son, with great prospects of success. BRIDPORT.

It is expected that they will be returned without opposition. POR TSMO UTH. Yesterday a Sir H. I. D. Elphinstone, Bart., was an nonneed as coming forward for this br)rough on the Tory interest. He was to arrive in the evening. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE: NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—YoRK MAR 19. CROWN COURT.— (Before Mr. Justice Crompton,) George Bell, 40, was indicted for attempting, on the 14th of Apy74-185S, to administer to one Thomas Bell two drachms of prussic acid, with intent to kill and murder him. Mr. Pickering briefly steed the.leading facts of the case. The, prosecutor was a farmer, residing at a village called indall, a few miles from l3riilington, in the East Riding. The prisoner was h;s brother, and up to May, 1855, had resided at a farm called Finley-hill, about a mile from Grindall. The case against him was that in April, 1856, he had put some prus4ic acid into a bottle of sherry, and sent it by railway to Grindall for his brother to take. For tunately, however, his suspicions were aroused, and in con sequence of the peculiar smell of the liquid when poured out into a tumble,, - he-merely tasted a little, and then sp a t it out. It would b e asked, what motive could the prisoner have to attempt such a crime as the one charged against him ? Thomas Bell, the prosecutor, was in possession of some landed property under his father's will ; be was mar ried, and if he died without issue that property would go to the prisoner for his life. The jury returned with a verdict of Guilty, mom mendit?g the prisoner to mercy. The learned judge sentenced - the prisoner to be trans ported for the term of his natural life. HOME CIRCUIT.-KINGSTON, MARCH 20. Mr. Justice Crass Well did not get through the criminal business at Lewes until Thursday afternoon, and at the conclusion of the assizes the young woman Eleanor Jane Sfa:pur, who was convicted of robbing her mistress, Lady Vincred, was brought up for judgment- and sentenced to 15 months' hard labour. The commission for the county of Surrey was 'opened on Thursday in this town by Mr. Baron Channel], and to-day business was proceeded with in both courts, Mr. Justice Cresswell presiding on the Civil Side an) Mr. Baron Channell in the Crown-Court.- There are 22 prisoners for trial, and there are two charges of murder and several other serious cases to be disposed of. On the Civil Side 49 causes are entered, 15 of which are to be tried by special juries. This is a much smaller number than usual at these assizes, which is probably owing to a great many attorneys being engaged in connexion with the general election, and having consequently not entered their causes for trial. The special jurors, it appears, are only summoned to ap pear on Wednesday next, but the nature of the business appears to be such that it is doubtful whether there will be sufficient common jury cases to occupy the Court until that day, and their attendance has therefore been required on Tuesday instead of Wednesday. Those gentlemen who do not receive such notice will probably, notwithstanding, feel it their duty to attend on the earlier day, as their pre sence might materially expedite the business of the assizes. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—DERBY, MARCH 19. Civil, SIDE. (Before Lord Campbell and a Common Jury.) CURRIE V. TURNER. This was an action for breach of premise of marriage, to which the defendant bad pleaded that be made the promise when he was in such a state of drunkenness as not to know whit be was about. Mr. Brewer and Mr. Beasley conducted the plaintiff's case, and Mr. Macaulay, Q. C., and Mr. Field the defend ant's.

It ap peared that the defendant, who was about 23 years old, soon after the family of the Corries came to Mayfield, be gan to pay great attention to the plaintiff, and, having frequently visited at the father's house, expressly asked and obtained his consent to their marriage on the 29th of December, whereupon the defendant said he should see about the settlement immediately, and he did accordingly in a few days go to a solicitor named Welsh, and gave instructions for the preparation of the settlement. The wedding-day was fixed for the sth of February, and on the 4th the defendant went for the license '• but, the vicar not being at home, h e cou ld no t ge t it that day, and it became necessary to put it off to the 7th of February. Bnt before that day came the defendant's father came over and broke off the match. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff.—Damages, 2501. WITHAM AND WIFE V. WRIGHT AND OTHERS.

Mr. Nodder at Ashover on the 201,11 of February, the particulars of which have so recently app-ared in our columns.
