HOWARD, 6urgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet street, has introduced an entirely new description of ARTI FICIAL TEETH ,fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the nataral teeth as not to be distinguished from the original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found very superiof to any teeth ever before used. Ibis method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful oreration, and will support_and preserve teeth that arc loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication.

BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY ha § ever since its introduction to the public been recognised, both by scientific Men and the trade, as the best article ever manufactured in this Country. Its claims to such pre - eminenc e are based upon its unri valled purity, and its clr•ser assimilation than any other to the flavour of the finest Champagne Brandy. There has been no Brandy made from wine in France, either in the r e sent year er in the preceding one. Owing t o the successive failures n their vintages, the French wine grower gets a higher price for his in consum e d as such, than he can realise by its being d i st ill ed lnto Brandy; and forasmuch as the foreign Brandy of recent impor tations is but the product of British grain and beetroot spirits, the prestige s hitherto exclusively enjoyed by French Brandy as having been distille I from a particular French wine no longer exists, and is no longer worthily assignable to it now that it is bunglingly made having other materials. The supply of wine for distillation i n t o Brand y failed, the French distiller is constrained to recur to a manu facture in which he needs the quarter of a. century's experience Which has been exercised upon that of BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY to render his article rt spectably competitive, and he has not had it. Under these circumstances the Messrs. Betts challenge that their PATENT BRANDY 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 arc of quality so inferior as to di grace the name they bear, and are twice the price of BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY, which is supplied by the trade, in capsuled bottles, to private famille in any quan tity, down to the single bottle. Excise regulations prevent its sale irom the Distillery, 7, Smithfield-bars, St. John-street, in any less quantity than two gallons.

The hon. gentleman e'pecially dwelt upon the importance of upholding the national flag against all comers, referring at the ,same time to the disgraceful coalition by the peace at-any-price party and the place hunters in their attempt to overthrow the Government of Lord Pal merston upon the Chinese question. A resolution, approving of Mr. Wilkinson, 'and pledging the meeting to use every exertion to secure his return, was carried amid vociferous cheering. A vote of thanks concluded the proceedings. Judging from the unanimity of the meeting, Mr. Wilkinson's re turn is placed beyond a doubt. FINSBIJRY.

MAjorßeed at somelength vindicated his Parliamentary conduct ; and, from his addresses at Liskeard and Abiugdon, defended himself from the charges of Conservatism made by Sergeant Parry. A resolution was with acclamation adopted to se cure his return. WESTMINSTER La/4 evening a public meeting of the electors of Westminster, convened by the Reform Association, wai held at the Adelaide Gallery, Strand, to take into consideration the future representative of the City of Westminster. Mr. A. Wright was called to the chair. Amongst those present were—Gen. Sir De Lacy Evans and Sir John V. Shelley, Major Lyon, Mr. Prout, and many other influential reformers of Westminster. Gen. Sir Do L. EVANs, after referring to the cir cumstances of the dissolution of Parliament, alluded to the political principles which it was well known be had advocated, and defended his conduct as a representative of the City of "Westminster. Alluding to the position of parti, s in the House of Com mons, he said—Wi:h regard to the Toryparty, they were very mild ; in fact, they were almost Liberals —(laughter)—but hs thought, when they threw d )wn the standard of protection, they had no stan dard at all in the Legislature, and his opinion was, form what, they had done in the session, they were bidding for positions. Alluding to r. L. King's motion, he thought there was something so clear in the measure that it required no defence. That bill was stopped by Lord Palmerston, who said it was not a general measure, but Earl Gran ville had said it was a pity the bill should have been sopped. That was something, cowing from the leader in the House of Lords. He regretted that Lord Palmerston should so have acted; but the greatest man had his faults, and he thought that, although Lord Palmerston was the most flexible Minister, yet he was, under all circumstances, the best man they could have at the head of the Go vernment. (Cheers.) Sir J. V. SHELLEY, Bart., then addressed the meeting. Having alluded to the votes he had given, and to his advocacy of all matters that tended to promote the interest of his constituents, Sir John, addressing himself to the question of confidence in Lord Palmerston, defended the' conduct of his lord ship, not only for the manner in which he bad car tied the country through the Russian war, but he thought Lord Palmerston was deserving of every praise for the manner in which he had appointed the recent bishops, although they did not suit the Gladstonites. In conclusion, he trusted his past actions would secure his reelection. (Cheers.) Mr. STUART wanted to know if General EVans would allow 70,0007. to b© voted on the marriage of the Princess Royal General EVANS said ho should not lend a hand to anything of the sort. (Cheers.) In answer to Mr. JACKSON, Sir J. T. SHELLEY said he voted with the Go vernment on the Chinese question, because he felt convinced the hostilities were called for and neces sary. _ _ Mr. DEXTER wished to know General Evans' opinion on the Chinese question. General EVANS said the question was a most dif ficult one. He agreed with most of the members of the Government that they regretted the hostilities in China, but sanctioned them as they had taken place. Therefore, he thought the Government were perfectly exonerated from any blame in the matter. But the Government should have done, when they first heard the news, what they had done in the last ten days, in sending out a proper Government authority, and a naval and military expedition to protect the British residents in China. No doubt they were good Parliamentary men , but they knew nothing of military m a tt ers , an d it was often that tardiness and neglect that brought disgrace on the country. (Cheers.) Major LYON wished to ask if it was right for one of their members to walk out of the house when an important question had to be decided Gen. EVANS said he had acted in accordance with the wishes of some of his oldest friends in the city. Mr. PROM then moved the following resolu- , tion " That this meeting having been convened for the pur pose of taking into consideration the future representa tion of Westminster, and having heard from Sir De Lacy Evans and Sir J. V. Shelley a statement of their con- duct during the present Parliament, and a declaration of their unabated attachment to the cause of progressive re form, resolved that immediate steps be taken to secure their return to Parliament as the future representatives for this city." Mr. ROBINSON seconded the motion ; after which Major LYON, in a long speech, suggested that the names should be put separately to the meeting. Mr. Bthas asked the meeting not to decide the question that night, as it was not one of Parlia mentary reform—it was a question of Palmerston or no Palmerston—(" no, no," and cheers)—and at great length denounced the conduct of Govern ment in relationio the Chinese hostilities. After some further addresses, the motion was p - ut and carried amidst loud cheering. MR. COBDEN AT MANCHESTER. A crowded meeting of the friends and supporters of Messrs. Gibson and Bright was held on Wednes day evening in the Free Trade Hall, at Manchester. There were about 6,000 persons present. Mr. G. Wilson presided, and there were present Mr. Cob-. den, M.P., the Right Hon. T. M. Gibson, M.P., Rev. Dr. Halley,. Rev. Dr. M'Kerrow, Rev. Dr. Davidson, Messrs. T. Baxley, R. N. Phillips, J. A. Nicholls, W. B. Watkins, J. Sidebottom, R. Platt, R. Stuart, J. Slagg, N. Heald, F. Penning ton, J. L. Kennedy, J. C. Dyer, E. Ashworth, H. Ashworth, B. Syddall, W. M'Call, S. Lees, T. Schunck, S. Pope, Aldermen Mackie, Harvey, Heywood, Mr. J. Simpson, &c. The entrance of Mr. Cobden, Mr. Gibson, and their leading sup porters, was greeted with the most enthusiastic cheer:ng. • The CHAIRMAN having made a few remarks, and read a letter from Mr. Bright upon the subject of bis candidature, Mr. M. GriasoN, who was received with great ap plause, addressed the meeting, commenting on the attacks made upon him by the Manchester Guar dian and by Mr. Lowe's supporters, explaining and justifying his own vote with regard to the Chinese quarrel, denying that he or those with whom he acted had opposed in Parliament any necessary measures for carrying on the war against Russia, and referring to the ballot, extension of the suf frage, and Jewish emancipation, which' he bad al ways advocated. Mr. T. BAZLEY proposed the following resolu tion, in which be entirely concurred :—" That the grateful thanks of this meeting be given to the Hight Hon. Thomas Milner Gibson and John Bright, Esq., for the faithful and unflinching fide lity to the principles to represent which they were sent to Parliament, and that this meeting pledges itself to use all lawful means again to return them to the House of Commons." (Applause.) Mr. W. B. WATKINS seconded the resolution. On the motion being put to the meeting a very small number of hands only was held up against it, and the chairman declared it carried unanimously, save with five dissentients. The announeoment was received with deafening acclamations. Mr. COBDEN , M. P. ,was received with plaudits which continued for a considerable time. He said —I appear before you oil thi§ 0M43i9 1 1 IA the humble representative of my friend, Mr. B. ight— (three cheers were here given for Mr. Bright)—and, in his none I thank you for the all but unauinems vote with which you have announced his candida ture at this election. Now, I appear before you on the present occasion under circumstances which. I certainly never expected to encount'r again. I have, on former occasions, found my name promi- - nently associated with measures in the House of Commons and in the country that have led to dis solution's of Parliament, and to the fall of Minis ters. That was -when I was connected with the movements in which our object was to cause disso lutions of Parliament and destrucion of Ministries. For three times, I believe, Parliament has ben dissolved, arising out of. questions with which my name was prominently connected, but I certainly never did expect to see again a dissolufon with which I should be associate:). Now, what are the circcinstances under which this has arisen ? On the assembling of Parliament, we found ourselves en gaged in two wars, the one w.th an empire of 350,000,000 of people, with a territory about eight times as great as that of France, and about teu times the population ; the other was with Persia, another of the most an c i e nt einpir , s in the would. Parliament and the people hid had no voice in de claring these wars ; troops were moving from India to Bushire, troops were moving from Ceylon to Hong gong, and war was going on at our expense, and you heal had no voice in declaring that war. (Hear, hear.) On the assembling of Parliament, a demand was made frona the Ministry for informa tion respecting the Persian war. The answer we got was that it would be contrary (it is the stereo: typed answer), that it would be prejudicial to the interests of the country that any papers should be given referring to the origin of the Persian war. But I found oe the table of the House of Commons all the papers having reference to the Chinese war ; and it is a very rare thing indeed that we are so for tunate as to find a record of what is going on in our name and behalf. I read these papers, as I wa 4in duty bound to do, and, coming to th e conv i ct i on th a t the origin oithis war was a blunder and a crime— (A. Voice—" No," and enthu s i ast i c tb ou t a o f "Y es , yes ")—I framed a resolution, which I showed to my right hon. friend here, and asked him if he would like to second it ; and, without consulting any other human being, I put that motion on the paper of the House of Commons, and it lay there for a fortnight before my turn came for bringing on the motion. Singular ro say—for it is an unusual thing—not one word of that resolution was altered to accommodate the mind of any member of the House of Commons. (Cheers.) Well, lam told, and we hear it daily repeated in some of the columns of the London Tapers, whose au lacity of assertion sometimes astounds me, even though I am habit uated to the perusal of the Times newspaper— (laughter)—there is still every day the reiterated falsehood, as if the people b a d not yet h a d enoug h of it, that this was a motion brought forward in a Ifactious spirit, and with, a coalition of parties, in order, forsooth, that we might overturn the Go vernment and get possession of their places. Well, now, there is a great question involved in this, which I think the people of this country ought to take very much to heart. Do you want the mem bers of the House of Commons to look after your interests, and watch the expenditure—(yes, yes)— and to guard you from gettin g into needless and expensive wars ? (Yes.) W(11, but you are not going the right way to work, if what I learn in your newspapers is going to be verified in the course of the election, for lam told that those members who joined in that vigilant care of your interests, and voted according to the evidence before us on the question of that war, are all to be ostracised—sent into private life—and that you are going to send up other men—(no no)—to d o w h a t to look after your interests? No 1 to go and do the huMble dirty work of -the - Minister of the hour. (Loud cheers.) In fact, that you are going to constitute Lord Palmerston the despotic ruler of this coun try. (No, no.) Well, but it he is not checked by Par liament —if the moment Parliament does check him he dissolves Parliament, and instead of sendingup men who are independent enough to assert their and your:rig*, you send up mere creatures of his will, what ie that but investing hint withthe powers of a despot ? Aye, and let me tell you that it is a deep ism of the clumsiest, mo , t expensive, kind, Fad atthe same time the most irresponsible on the "thee of earth, because you surround the Minis ter with the sham appearance of a representative form of government ; you cannot get at him while be has got a Parliament beneath whose shield he can shelter himself ; and if you don't do your duty in your elections iu sending men up to the House of Commons who will vigilantly watch the Minister of the day, then, I say, yos are in a worse plight, because governed in a more irresponsible way than if under the King of Prussia or the Emperor of the French. (Cheers.) But vho is Lord Palmerston that we are to inv es t hi m w ith this power? Who is he ? (A traitor.) N o , I w ill eeY nothing worse of him here than I have said to his face in Parliament ; but when I want to know what a man is, I ask, What has he done ? (Cheers.) There is no other test like that. That was Napoleon's question always, if anybody talked to him about anybody being a great man—" What has le done ?" Lord Palmeri ton has been fifty years is Parlia,meut—(fitty-two) —fifty-two years in Parliament. Well, he has be lcnged to every Government excepting one during those fifty years. (Laughter.) I remember the Times newspaper, which spent about 15 years in trying to blacken his repu t ati on, and is now polish ing him up every d a y day—(laughter and cheers)- 7 . and when it had sa id ever ything else that was gross, vulgar, and vituperative about him, wound up by saying that he had b een "boots" to every ldminis tration for 30 yea rs . (R e newed laughter.) NOV, I beg you to und ers t an d t hi s i s the language of the Times, and not m i ne. (L aug hter.) (But with what has his name b een assoc i a ted ? (" Peterlo a.") I am Yes, Peterloo. reminded that on this very spot of ground—(" Yes, • yes,")—when the people . were nut down an d t ramp l e d u p on by the yeomanry, Lord Palmerston was one of the Government and voted in favour of that outrage. (Groans and cries of " Shame.") W e ll , b ut w h a t h as he done since ? —because men may h ave b een, i n th e ear ly p ar t of their career, by c i rcumstances , like Sir R. Peel, put into a cert a i n groove, an d hardly answerable for the course they were obliged to run. What has he done since he has been able to take his own choice ? What does he propose now to do ? (" Ruin us.") He was a member of the reform ministry in 1831, he left his old party and joined the Whigs as a reformer. But was he one of those who put for ward the cause of reform, or was he there as a drag chain I I have seen to-day a speech which has been sent to me, delivered by Sir J. Graham, at Car lisle. He says, " I and Lord J. Russell are the only two Cabinet Ministers remaining alive who formed the Government which brought in the re form bill of 1831 ;" and he says, " We had Lord Palmerston amongst us; but I very soon found out that he was not very much disposed for the work that we were engaged upon." (Hear, and cheers.) In December, 1843—little more than three years ago—Lord Palmerston belonged to the Ministry of Lord Aberdeen. Now, Lord Aberdeen was considered a very liberal man ; we were all de luded with the idea that Lord Palmerston was the great champion of democracy, and that Lord Aber deen was always the friend of despotistn ;—I was not token in by that, but a good many people were. (Cheers.) Well, but what did Lord Palmerston do in December, 1853, when Lord Aberdeen's Go vernment was preparing a new reform bill, to be brought in in the session of 1854 ? Lord Palmer ston left Lord Aberdeen's Government because he objected to that modicum of reform that was then proposed—(hear)—that bill, bearing on its back the names of Lord John Russell and Sir J. Graham —cm tainly not two very rash or democratic re formers—(laughter)—which proposed to give a ten-pound franchise to the counties, and a modi fied franchise to the boroughs —so slightly reduced that some of my friends thought it would rather operate as a restriction in some boroughs than an extension ; that bill was too much for Lord Pal merston to swallow in 1853, and he left Lord Aberd. en's Cabinet avowedly because he objected to that bill. (Hear, hear.) Well, what has he done since ? What has he done this very session? Why, he has opposed everything that can bear the mere semblance of reform ; he voted against Locke King's motion for a ten pound county fran chise, which formed part of the bill of 1854 ; he has opposed even the 40s. freehold franchise for Scot land, if you may believe the Lord Advocate of Scotland, who is in the Ministry, for lie has gone down there, and announced that the Government are opposed to it. Now, will you tell me on what ground I am to be called upon to surrender my in dependence*and freedom of thought and action to the will of a Minister such as this 1 Why, what do you propose to get by such a policy ? It appears to me it is about the most audacious attempt upon your credulity that ever was praet;sed in this coun try, to think of raising the cry at an election in favour of one man — for there is no other cry at tempted on the hustings ; and for that man to be the leader of the Liberal party, without having one Liberal tenet in hi; profession of faith. (Cheers.) Why; when I read et men that I hue hitherto core MARCH 20, sidered to be earnest reformers—wh3n I read their speeches and addresses, in which they have said, " I am fir the ballot, the extension of the suffrage, shotteni ng P ar liaments, egainst church rates, and will give my hearty support to Lord Palinerston'e Government," my natural quest' on is, "Are these men idiots ?"—("Yes !")—or are they dishonest? (" Dishonest.") If you attempt to carry out a business in private life, you don's go-to a man that you kno w is directly opposed, in his vieur,.to what you wish to accomplish, and put your: elf unler his guidance. Lord Palmerston is not content with a mere passive resistance to what you de - sire as re formers. He lends an active opposition,—he votes and speaks against every measure of re!orin that is brought into the House of Commons. (Cheers.) But we are told that Lord Palmerston is a great fiend of freedom abroad. (L :tighter.) Welt, now go and ask those men in this couutiy who represent freedom abroad ;=ask Kossuth. (Loud cheers) I will tell you what happened wi-hin my knowledge —it is no breach of confidence t) say it. when. that illestrious Hungarian was expected in Eno.- land, alier hisimprisonment in Turkey, my lamented friend. Lord Dudley Stuart-who se devotion to the cause of these forei g n r-fugees was as unbounded as it was sincere—went down to Southampton to meet Kossuth,• and receive him on his .arrival. Having to wait a day - or two there, and being in the neighbourhood of Broadlands, where Lord Pal merston lives, he wont there and saw the noble lord, and received from him a request to b: ing Kos suth over to Broadlands, to sea him. I rememb receiving a letter from Lord Dudley Stuart, an-. nouncing to me this piece of intelligence with the greatest glee. He was delighted at the opportu nity eLtaking Kossuth over to see Lord Palmer ston ;* and as soon - as he arrived he announced to him the pleasing information. To his ast , nishment he found Kossuth would not accept it. He would not ge near Lord Palmerston—(cheer)—ant I have got a letter from Lord Dudley Stuart, asking me to use all my influence with Kossuth to induce hien to go and call upon Lord Palmerston. He would not do it ; and my answer was this, " Yon may depend upon it, Kossuth knows a great deal more about Lord Palmerston than you do." (Laughter.) Why, I could not go into the particulars now ; but they are all familiar to me. Every transaction of Lord Palmerston's foreign'policy is known to me. I defy any human being to show an instance where any , body on the face of the earth has been happier or freer in consequence' of Lord Palmerston's foreign policy. (Cheers.) He endorsed the invasion of Rome by the French. (Hear, hear.) We have it in the blue books. He was the filet in red-hot haste to congratulate the present Emperor of the French after his usurpation, when 'the blood was still flowing in the streets of Paris. He refused to see an envoy sent from the Hungarians because he said he could treat with nobody but the Austrian Government. He treated the Italians in the same way. Arethese facts or not (Yes, yes.) Nobody denies them. Do you think, then, it is consistent with common sense that the man who has no love for liberty or progress at home should have any love of that kind to export to foi sign countries (Cheers.) Do you 'not think that liberalism like liberality, and (progress like charity, should begin at home 3 Well, what other title does he present to our confidence, that the people of this country should be called upon by the impudence of three or four metropolitan journals, which for reasons best known themselves—(hear)--which I hope will be exposed some day, are calling upon the English people to lie down upon their b llies in the dust before this man What has he done 3 We are told he carried the Russian war to a triumphant conclusion. Now I will tell you what he did in that war. Lord Palmerston was a member of the Government which declared the war. (Hear.) If ho be the man of talent, with the powers of ad ministration which we are told he bas—if be be a man of this towering genius, thtt we are all sud denly called upon to discover at the age of 73 (laughter)—was he not likely, at least, three or four years ago, to have had a share of .t at energy, so that he might have imprinted a portion of his policy upon the Government during thetime he was one of them ? He was responsible for every blun der just as much as any member of the Government. And what is the c tbinet now Why the majority - of the cabinet now was the majority of the cabinet then. Lord Paltner.t , :n was not called upon to make a new cabinet in order to carry do the war; cot t.sin members of the cabinet—a minority—seceded from it, and left the majority, of whom Lord Palmerston w'as at the head. That majority is quite as respon sible for everything that occurred during the early progress of the war—(loud cheers)—as they can claim to be entitled to any merit for any improve ment in the conduct of the war after th it minority bad seceded. But did Lord Palmerston over him self lend his word to thisimposturo that is practised in his name ? No ; to do him justice, his toadies practise the imposture, but he has told us manfully and in a straightforward way that he did not share in the delusion himself. (Laughter.) When Lord Aberdeen secede I from the Government Lord Palmerston told Sir James Graham and the rest of the friends of Lord Aberdeen who remained in the Government, that he would carry on the Govern ment and the war upon precisely the same princi ples that had been carried on by Lord Aberdeen ; and that there should be no change in his foreign policy. ; and that he would only ask the same terms of peace as Lord Aberdeen would have been content with. (Cheers.) That was only men tioned privately in the course of their discussions amongst themselves, but it came out in the house of Commons. Did Lord Palmerston himself ever come before us to complain of anything that had been done in the early conduct of the war whilst he was a member of the Cabinet ? No, ou the contrary he defended everything. When Mr. Roebuck brought forward his motion--(sheers)—for inquir ing into the scenes going on before Sebastopol, to try and hunt out, if he could, the cause of the ruin and disaster that had befallen our army, did Lord Palmerston get up in his place in the house and say. " Here are admitted evils. I grant to the bon. and learned gentleman that this is a fair subject for in quiry ?" No, he stood by things as they were—de fended everything, and resisted an inquiry by the committee. But what is more, after the committee was appointed and had sat and inquired into the proceedings at Sebastopol, when Mr. Roebuck -brought forward a motion in the House of Com mons consequent on the inquiry, did Lord Palmer ston assist him ? No, he voted against him again. What has he done besides ? Atter sending out a couple of men, able and competent men—Sir John M‘Neil and Col. Tulloch—(cheers)—and after they had brought home a report, certainly as able, and I believe, as conscientious as was ever made by public men, what did Lord Palmerston do ? Did he back up his own commissioners ? No. He would have done, if it had been Smith, Jones, or Robinson, that had been concerned, but they were lords and earls who were in question, and what did he do ? He appointed a commission of military men to in quire into the conduct of the commissioners. (Shame.) And then when public opinion rise sto de mand some improvement upon this state of things, what does he do ? He insults these distinguished men by sending them a present each of a thousand pound, which they sent back again—(hootings and groans)—just the amount that was paid some time ago to a policeman for having captured a celebrated political criminal. (Laughter.) Now, this is the sort of man that we are called upon all at once to fall down and worship. Why, I say the brazen image shall have no worship from me. (Cheers.) . But I want to ask these people that are here in Manchester. I will first take Mr. A. Turner. (Groans.) No, no, no ; we will deal with them with reason, and not with clamour. (Hear, hear.) I want to -put something before you that you may probably have the opportunity of asking them. The great complaint against us, on the part of these gentlemen, is, that we are too independent of this Minister. Now, ask them this question ; What would they have had us do in the case of that vote the other night, that was thre *toned to do justice to Colonel Tulloch and Sir John M'Neill ? I was in the House of Commons, waiting for the division, and certainly should have voted against the Go vernment ; but Lord Palmerston, seeing which way the wind blew, atter having spoken against ttie motion, got up and said, "I won't divide the horse upon it." Now, I want to know how Mr. Aspic all Turner would have voted on that occasion? Would he have considered it very factious if he had joined the member for Devonshire, who sits on the other side of the house on this question? Why, 3. see this gentleman's (Mr. Turner's) name as presi dent of the Commercial Association, signed to a menu in which he states the whole of the facts I am stat ing, and says Lord Palmerston has not only failed to do justice to those eminent officers who want out to make the inquiry, but has also given e 7 aco-urage meat and promotion to the very men proved to have been culpable and neglectful. (L aughter.) Now, I must say I think Mr. Aspinali ' curs er is looking very much like a "conspirator " i n thi s matter; he is guilty of a "coalition" with somebody to 'turn out a Minister. (Laughter.) Wren, what are we to do under these circumstances Are we to follow this Minister, or to follow the . dictates of our own judgmentri and con iences ? • Now, I hear [ P.RIOIC 4D.. STAMPED 513 it said that we - have been a thorn in the side of three Geverements. We are told that three or four of es have been a thorn in the side of Lord Aberdeen, Lord John Russell, and now of Lord Palmerston.' I can only say this—if Manchester should Fetid up the two gentlemen that are now caudidates in opposition to my hon. friends, they won't he thorns in the side of any Government. (Loud laughter.) Well, but what do you want in Parliament?. Do you send up men to Parlia ment just to be told off into one lobby or the othe-, according as the whipper-in of she Treasury decidth ? I suppose you want your members to du something •belter than follow the bidding of the Treasury whip. Do you think t'rere is much danger n ow of your catch ing members of Parliament likely 'o be too indept nd erit ? I can assureyouyou will find itjus. thecontrary. And if the threats now held out should be carried into effect—if you should, unhappily for yourselves, lose those two members you .have got_(aerer)—l will venture to say it will be a long time before you will have t i get two others, of whom you w,ll have to complaiu that they will bo too independent when they get to London into Parliament. (Hear, hear.) Why, now, the very thing of all others meat diffi cult to find in London is independe Ice. Only cast your memories back ; how few men have we ever got permanently to jein us in our attempt to thwart a Government? Four, or five, or six, or eight, 'or ten. I cool I count them a ll on my ten fin gers w ho retna . med resolved and det -rmined to maliktain an ;ndependent course. Mid why ? Because the t mptations, bl :ndisisnents, and seduc. ions prao t sod on me fibers of Par iament are very well known to Viose engaged in that avocation. Do you think I was not tempted like everybody else 9 I have had my cards, my d nner cards, as large as that (exhibitine a half-shot of paper), awl from Lori Patnterst.in, too. (Loud cheers.) When I went up to Pailiament, ire 18f1, it would have been mush easier, more teanquil, and, to many minds, a much more agreeable life, if I had at once fallen into the track, and, instead of setting.up an independent resistance to Government whenl chose, I had joined the governing class and become one of their' humble servaets. But the very first day I went into Parliament, in 1841, when the lines of party were still visible, when there was a great gulf between the two great parties on the two sides of the house ; wh-n Sir Robert Peel had his 390 or 400 men, and Lord John Russell his 270 or 280 men, the very first time I got up and spoke as the member for Stockport, I declared I came there to do something—and that was to repeal the corn laws, and I would know neither Whig nor Tory —(loud cheers)—until that work was done. Well, now, suppose I had pursued another course—sup pose I had allied myself to the Whig party, which was then the most liberal, and which had then adopted she advanced position at that time, of an Bs. fixed duty —suppose I had joined that party, as I might have done, and depended upon them and not upon an abstract principle for the success of our agitation, do you think we should ever have got the total and immediate repeal . ? No • it would not have been possible ; because we should have told Sir R. Peel and the party opposite, ".we are not going to ake it from you at all ; it is a party ques tion—a Whig question, and we_ are going to take the repeal of the corn laws in no other way." But when Sir R. Peel and the party opposite saw we were in earnest, and did not make a party question of our principle, he did the work for us, which the Whigs never could have done. Aro we not to pur sue the suns course again? (Yes.) Am I, because I find Mr. Disraeli and Sir J. Pakington coming round to principles I have been advocating—am I, at the moment which offers a fair chance of suocess to my op niun, to say, " No, I will not join you ; that would be c mspiracy—that would be a coati- Con." (Hear, and cheers.) After referring to the pressure of taxation, Mr. Cobden proceeded :—I come now far a moment to the conduct of my right hon. frieud here, and the cotiduct of my right hon. friend whom I represent here on this occasion. (Great cheering, followed by "Three cheers for Bright," and " One ch-er more."). Knowing him, then, I stand here in all humility as his representa tive ; for what I have long cherished in my friend Mr. Blight is this, that I have seen in him an ability alid an eloquence with which he is endowed; and that I have had the fond consolation of hoping that Mr. Bright, being seven or eight years younger than myself, will be advocating principles—and advocating thorn successfully—when I shall no longer be on the scene of duty. With those feel ings, I naturally take the deepest interest in the d-ciai , tn of this election. I feel humiliated—l feel disgusted to see the daily personal attacks—the diatribes that are mad* against this man. (Shame, and loud cheering.) I will deal very candidly with yon, men of Mauchester, in this respect. I say you have not the character, or the fame, or the destinies of John Bright in your hands ; but I will tell you this, that your own character and reputatiou with the country and with the world at large aro at stake in the conduct which you pursue on this occasion. One who has served you so faithfully and so assiduou'ly—even to the partial destruction of his own health—who is no longer able to appear before you—why, the manhood that is in you must all rebel ngiinet the cowardly assaultsithat are made upon him. (Cheers.) But I believe the hostility is a psrsonel one. (" Hear, hear," and applause.) I believe it is confined to a select few. They may, perhaps, make dupes of others ; and, unless you be watchful, they may make dupes of some of you. (" No, nn.") But what are the alleged faults of this man—what have you to say against him ? I tic! you before that you must go to the House of Commons for his character—to either side of the House of Commons—and I will venture to say you will hear but one opinion of him from Whig, Tory, or Radical. I will tell you what I heard ono of the oldest and most sagacious men in the House of Commons say ; that he did not believe there was any man in the house, with the exception of Mr. Bright and Mr. Gladstone, who ever changed votes by their eloquence. (Hear, bear.) Now that is a great tribute to pay to men. (Applause.) Be cause, although we, many of us, may probably con vince people by our arguments, we do not convert them and make them change their votes—it re quires logic and reasoning power, but it requires somethiug else—it requires those transcendent powers of eloquence which your repro sentatives pos sess. (Cheers.) I am going to Huddersfield to morrow. (Cheers.) If my voice does not fad me, I should like to come back and have one more great meeting at this hall—(loud cheers) —but it must be on one condition, and that is, that the gentlemen here set to work. (Hear, hear.) Our late friene, Sir Thomas Po; ter, if he had been living, would have been amongst us—(cheers) —and he never al lowed a meeting to go off without his memorable and famous words, " work, . work, work." With these words I wish to dismiss you. I tell you here is a combination—l call it a conspiracye--(loud cheers)—a foul conspiracy—(rene wed cheers)—that upset two of the ablest men in the House of Com mons—one of them that is absent, and therefore it is no flattery to say of him, that if the House of Commons had the power of returning three men to be members of their body, I have not the least hesitation in saying that one of these men, if he were not in Parliament, would be John Bright. (" Hear, hear," and loud cheers.) Now, he is well known to you, and'my friend .Mr. Gibson is known to you as a great worker in the good cause. You are asked to dismiss these men without a cause. I tell you that it is you, and not they, who are upon your trials. • You may dismiss them ; but if you do you will never have them back again, for they will not be out of Parliament a month. (" Hear, hear," and loud applause.) And what will you have in place of them ? I will avoid personalities. I have only dealt with Lord Palmerston as a person be cause he has been put forward as a policy. He is the only policy put forward on which the elections , are to turn. (Hear, hear.) I am obliged to deal with the man as a policy. But now as to your two candidates. There is Mr. Lowe. See him, and hear him, before you choose him. (Hear.) You have had one specimen of Ministerial oratory on this platform—(laughter)—aud I want you to hear more of these "right honourable" and "honour able" members of the aristocracy. Litt them come and talk to you, and you will then know better how to appreciate the men you have got. (Loud c h e ers.) Hear Mr. Lowe. I have heard him, and I will say this, and in saying it shall be borne out by any impartial man in the House of Commons, that, considering that he had some reputation for ability when he was at Oxford, and as a writer in the Times—(hear, and laughter) —he is the most conspicuous failure in the House of Commons. (Cheers.) Then there is my friend Sir John Putter. I will say nothing upon this subject except t his : I am sorry to see him in o os iti o n to his old friends. But I say to y ou , if pp you want to exella u g a an attitude of proud distinction, and to show you r selves to the world instead of having represent you who are men and men in that great arena of intellectua.l.g the House of Commons—(eheers) -- e preserve your present proud position —that Mittichester, at all events, is - - keepthemen you have; buctrbif fame and distinction entitle u two men. to gra pple with can ladiatorship, Commons—(cheers--if Yo" want to before the world soraethingben think youhave had Y nd Want to fall into utter insignificance, and to ?near a bits of scorn and in _ . An: extraordinary supplement 10 the Carlisle Journal contains the report of a crowded and en thoiastic meeting, held in the Coffee-house Assein bly-room, at Carlisle, on.

The right hori. gentlenian addressed the meeting at great length, and _defended the vote he had given in, the .11011F0 of Commons ou Mr. Cobden's Having repudiated the charge of having joined a coalition to defeat Lord Palmerston, the hen. b:r.met, in conclusion, said—l have isueilMo address ; I do not irttend to form any decisiou with respect to the course which I shall pursu e at the approaching elecion until I know what is the ef ftet of my statement on this impartial audience which I have now addressed. It will be f r :the constituent body to determine who shall he the candidates—whom tbev shad support, and what are the principles they shall promote. A pledge to giv e a vote of confidence in Lord Palmerston, not fel ing that confidence, I cannot and wilt not give. (Loud cheers.) I have told you, I think the is a very till& ques ion to go to the country upon. It ought not to be made a question of confidence in men ; it ought to be a question of meisti res— •—and-th 3 mode most certain of promoting the measures of -which the constituencies approve. I believe Viet your princip;es with re:orance to peace, with reereoce to ec inomy, with i eferencb to taxation, with reference t., non-intervention in the affairs of other count ies, except where the honour of E igland absolutely requir.s—l believe that on these questions your opinions r. 3 in unis.ar with mine. (akar, hair.)

Bur if I find [din disposed to interfere where the intereAsof England do not demand it; when I find him encouraging warlike opinions and war -Ike expend ture, cef ta . nly if I am your reprisen ta•ive, I shall offer a firm uncompromising resist ance.

An attempt had been made to shelve him in the City of London—(hear, hear)-- not very unlike what has been attempted further ni•;rth. (Laughter.) Lord Jahn Russell has con fronted it like a man; it is for you to say if I have shrunk from explanation by my conduct this even ing. I have not issued an address ; but Lord John Russ -ll has issued an address, and I will read to you the expression of his opinion, with regard both to foreign and domestic policy, which are better ex pt., ssed than in any words that I could use. Me has recorded them, and, in the absence of an address from myself, let; me read them to you as embodying my sincere and deep con victions. (The right hon. baronet read an extract.) Now, these are the words of Lord John Russell. These are the principles which I profess. I shall now retire from this meeting, leaving it to you to discuss the course which as circumstances now exist it will be expedient to pursue. Recollect Ido not presume to dictate who shall be my colleague. It is for you to determine that question, if you should be so generous as to allow me to be on• of your representatives. But a pledge such as it was at tempted to exact from me by a dapuirition which came up from Carlisle—that if a vote of confidence in Lord Palmerston should be proposed in the next Parliament I should support it—recollect I cannot, as an honest man, give that pledge. I cannot re cede from the vote wish regard to China. I had rather far never give another vote in the House of Commons than nullify that vote. I believe it to be moral, just, true. Let us recollect. The real matter of dispute with China is not the loreha, not the right to enter into Canton; but whether, for the sake of the profit of a handful of British merchants, you should smuggle into China the dreadful drug-of opium —that opium which demoralises, which mad dens, which destroys the rea son , an d destroys the life of millions of our fellow-creatures ; and for this object, and merely for this, shall I be brought to stretch a point and to favour transactions which I - - - believe have been marked by injustice as certa ihly as they have been markel by bloodshed/ Every prin ciple of religion and morality forbids it. I cannot compromise this question--I won't compromise this question, even if a British audience tell. me t 3 do so. I will not believe that any body of my fellow countrymen will give me such advice. But I have bad enough of public life, and, if in an evil moment you should give that advice, like the delf adder I wid stop my ears, and will not give my consent. Tile following resolution was thou put to the meeting and ctrried unanimously:— " That this meeting, having heard the explanation of Sir James Graham, declares its full confidence in him as an independent reformer, ,and requests him again to pre sent himself as a candidate for 'the representation of Carlisle." GENERAL PERRONET THOMPSON- AT BRADFORD. On Wednesday night General Thompson addressed a . large assembly orthe electors of Bradford in a building lately need as a circus, opposite the Lancashire a.ndYork shire Rail say terminus. R. Kai, E-q , took the chair. Gen. THOMPSON was received with prolonged cheering. £hey were wet there to know whether he (the general) was able and willing to be their representative and spokesman in Parliament. The gallant general then spoke in favour of the ballot, extension of the suffrage, and religious equality, and said he did not know that it was necessary to go on telling them that which they had agreed upon in times past ; perhaps it would he better if they would ask him some questions on points on which they wanted particularly to know his views. He did not think it was possible to . agree with them all ; but they oonld judge whether he was capable of agreeing with the majority or not. If any gentleman would ask him a question on any subject which occurrod to him he would endeavour to give them an honest and satisfactory an swer. (Cheering.) Mr. Councelor RUDD (Horton) asked the gallant gene ral to favour the meeting with his opinions on the edu cation question. General THOMPSON replied, as far as he understood that question, there was a great dispute between two estimable classes of men—the one class was those who wished education to. be carried out by Government inter ference; the other was in favour of education without Government interference, but supplied on the voluntary principle. Now, he would say let the Government lay down a scheme for those who chose to join it, and those who did not like to do so could support the voluntary principle. He . did not care how education came ; only put it in. (Applause.) Mr. B. td`Queib asked whether he would vote for the shutting of public•houses on Sundays, and the intro duction of the Maine Liquor Law! (Hissing and uproar.) Gen. THOMPSON replied, as for the Maine law, so far as he understood it, no. (Applause.) Were they Teeto tallers! So was he. Were they vegetarians ? So was be. But "shall there be no more cakes and ale, because we are virtuous t" (Laughter and applause.) Temperance was a great virtue, both for this world and that which is to come; but none of us had a right to say to our neighbour, "This you shall eat, and this you shall drink, and this you shall let alone." (Applause.) If a man got drunk in the street, put him in the stocks— (laughter)—if a man got drunk in private, avoid his company. (Hear ) Mr. Al`Quen) asked, would the general, if in Parlia ment, have voted in the majority in support of the recent censure on ministers ! gin. THomrsoN wished he had been there. There would have been no doubt of it—he was sure he should. (Applause.)

Such a communication would intimately con• nect the islands with the 450 miles of the Great Western. Railway. When the railway between Pails and,Cher bourg, which is finished as far as Bayeanx, and that between Paris and St. Mais via Rennes, are finished, such a steam-packet communication could be easily ex tended so as to connect the whole of the west and south. west of England with Paris and north-west coast of France.
