Morning.. 17 minutes after 3. 1 Evening .. 33 minute s atter 3 of experience and the convictions of the age, as the principles of restricted commerce, implies a certain ditiiciency of discernment, and a mind actually obsolete in its character. Ability there unquestionably is among the enem'es to free trade, but it is confined to a very few individuals, and even then employed through a medium so deplorably vile, tiaat its come • liness is distorted, and its vigour cramped. In the instance of Lord STANLEY, for example, it is like a giant entering the arena buckled in a . straight waistcoat, and in the instance of Mr. DISRAELI it is as though a true knight-errant armed himself with a porringer and a spit. Therefore it is that so few terrors are presented to the Government by the Pro tectionist Opposition, in regard either to number or intelligence. Beyond this, the present Cabinet is sustained by the good opinion of the people. The strength of her MAJESTY'S advisers is rather in the Forum than in the Senate-house ; it is rather on the Champ de Mars than in the Legislative Chambers. _ _ There is, consequently, no cause for trepidation, either on account of the numerical influence, or the excellent reputation, or the intrinsic ability of the Protectionists. Excepting among a few stolid consti tuencies, we are confident that the agricultural mono polists are in miserable odour, and that, like the King in Hamlet, their offence "is rank and smells to heaven!" Were the Ballot in operation we know that the " column" of the Protectionists would be remark able—we mean no pun—for a yet greater number of cyphers. Intimidation could no longer assist in smuggling obnoxious Members into St. Stephen's, and the landed aristocracy could no longer aid by their unconstitutional interference, in cramming the most abhorred principles down the throats of the helpless electors. A better opportunity never pre sented itself for the agitation of the ques tion of the Ballot than now that the ad vocates of that system are mustering as it were In the very lolkiei Of the House of Commons, Parliamentary Reform has been obtained, Catholic Em.incipation has been obtained, Free Trade has been obtained—why not the Ballot ? The arguments in favour of unrestricted commerce are not more un • answerable than those in favour of the Ballot; be sides which, the opponents of the Ballot—the denizens of May-fair and St. James's—cannot, with any grace or reason, protest against its adoption as a most un- English practice, while it remains the system Of election or expulsion in all their courtly and Tashi.inable clubs. What is not considered un-English in the palaces of Pall-mall and Waterloo-place, cannot surely be un-English in the metropolitan or provin cial polling-booths. It must be remembered, how ever, that the opponents of the Ballot dread lest their nominees should be black-balled. Well then, in their teeth we will struggle for the Ballot, and in their teeth we will gain it, as we have already gained Free Trade. and Parliamentary Reform. Notwithstanding the formal withdrawal of Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN from the representation of . the county of Limerick, and the subsequent selection of a second Repeal candidate, in the person of Mr. GEORGE JOHN O'CoNNELL, a wealthy inhabitant of the city of Limerick,, the friends of the ex-martyr of the cellar appear resolved to bring him forward, and apparently to return him again to Parliament. Meanwhile, the . Old Ireland candidates are equally determined to pi to the poll, and to afford every elector an opportunity of registering his vote. They argue that the resignation of the Young Irelander " is no mistake--can be no mistake," and add, " that it shall be no mistake." Whether that gentleman is himself a consenting party to the proceedings it is at present impossible to say. It is, how ever probable, that if selected, he will own the soft impeachment, and yield to the press ing solicitations of his admirers. Indeed, the terms in which he announced his intended retirement appeared by no means decisive. He was not desirous of retaining a seat in the Legislature, but if the electors were determined to have him he would sub mit to their wishes. To his great surprise, the re sponse to this transparent coquetry was of a very dif ferent character from that which he anticipated. The club, which had generally selected the future Mem ben before the appeal to the country at large, were ' quite prepared to submit to the sacrifuso, tuna to per mit the Honourable Gentleman to enjoy his coveted repose in the blissful shades of Cahir moyle, freed from the cares and labours incidental to the position of a legislator, and they ac cordingly proceeded to find a fit and proper person to send to St. Stephen's as his substitute. This was a rather unfortunate decision, for the result will most probably be that a Conservative will slip in, i n consequence of the schism and dissensions thus occasioned in the Repeal camp. Irish elections have long attained an unhappy celebrity for the scenes of turbulence and outrage that take place. Irish mobs, at all times easily ex cited, appear on such occasions to become absolutely C.antic, and to plunge into the most lawless excesses on behalf of th.,•ir favourite candidates. But it would be impossible to find, even in the annals of past elee. tions, more disgraceful scenes than those which have already characterised the present contest. The moment the doors of the Court-house were opened, a dense mob, arme d w ith t hi c k , s h ort sticks, and other formidable weapons, rushed in, and having overcome every obstacle, filled the galleries and every portion of the building. Many persons were over thrown, hats knocked about and trampled on, and every person suspected of being in the opposite in terest was at once laid hands on and removed out of the way amid indescribable din and clamour, by those consistent opponents of physical force doctrines. The shouting, cheering, groaning, yelling, whistling, cockcrowing . , crashing of glass windows, and other elegant amusements of the gentlemen who filled the places which should have been preserved for the elec tors, surpassed description. They were equally cla morous in opposition to the Conservative and the Young Irelander. We shall, however, furnish an illustration of the general conduct, by the manner in which Mr. MoNSELL, one of the candidates, was received : " Mr. Monsell then made his appearance. He was at once assailed by a hurricane of groans, yells, hisses, cockcrowing, beating of sticks, &c. Several of the crowd proceeded to cut the ropes of the window pullies, and to tasten them to sticks and old caps and handker chiefs, as it to represent hanging effigies, whilst others were engaged in crying out, Begone hangman,' See the devil,' and other similar demonstrations. It is per fectly impossible to convey au accurate notion of the scene that was kept up without intermission for an hour and twenty minutes, during which time Mr. Monsell sioud beside the High Sheriff, and made several ineffec ►ual attempts.to utter a single sentence. "Mr. G. J. U'CONNELL anti the Emu SIIERIFF rip pealed to the crowd, and asked them, in the spirit Fair play, would they not listen to what Mr. Monsell had to say ? " geveral huge men hung out of the galleries with one panels ot hand, and with the other continued bea the galleries with clubs, whilst others were b t t ' " jikitiii& ropes, and calling out . 44.2 hangm an ,' and ` 6 We won't hear him,' ecc. " The 'hut SHERIFF sat down on the bench, and ' I.lan,n-.? hangman,' and sot he would remain there for a lime, as he couldstand lio longer. " 3.1 r.

I must take care that every qualified per sou shall get a hearing—that is my duty.—(Uproar.)

And this is freedom of election in the sister king dom, mobs on in the middle of the 19th century. The the outside of the Court - house proved worthy of those who had obtained admission , and the city ha s b on e scene of riot and disturbance, the immenseen body of military who were station ed in a great many diff er ent parts of the town being only able to pre serve tranquillity in their immediate vicinities. The defeat of the Old Ireland candidates is now almost a matter of certainty. An extraordinary coali tion.appears to have taken place between the Conser vatives and Young Irelanders, which has had the effect of placing their respective favourites in a con- 1 siderable majority,—the numbers, up to half-past two o'clock on Wednesday, being AIoNSELL SmITH O'BRIEN .. 356 l'ow ELL O ' CONNELL And this majority is said to be hourly increasing, so that the return of the two former may now be looked upon as certain. This extraor dinary result—it being the first time for many years that a Tory has been victorious in the county of Limerick—may be ascribed partly to the split among the Repealers, and partly to the feeling that Mr. MONSELL is himself more than half a Repealer, and that the high Tories generally will shortly join in the cry for a separation between the countries, and also to the fact that the ultra-Tories and Young Irelanders exchanged their second votes, the former probably feeling that they could not do greater damage to the Repeal cause and to the Liberal cause generally than by again returning SMITH O'BRIEN to the Imperial Parliament. A letter from Bologna, of the 3d, states that the regulations for the National Guard had arrived from Rome, as had also the ordonnance nominating the deputies for the provinces; and also an ordonnance reducing the duty on salt by a mezzo-baiocca (one sou) in the pound. These measures have satisfied all classes, both in the towns and country. ,The Calabrian bands have increased (says a letter from Naples) to an alarming extent, and the Govern ment bas marched 8,000 men to the. Abruzzis to act against them. .. ~.,..\ *__H it i tesf . .. A .ip•• ...4 ‘4 ,.

When the proportionate numbers of Liberals, Peelites, and Protectionists shall be made visible by the re-assembling of Parliament, the latter class of politicians will most certainly perceive the futility of their aspirations for the possession of office. At present they are so blinded by the delirium of electioneering excitement that they have not yet perceived their own impotence and unpopularity Before September has closed, however, they must recognise the extravagant weakness of their position. Still we are so far from anticipating any advantage to accrue from this circumstance, that we are con vinced the result will prove an annoyance to the public, and a further source of infamy to the ogri . cultural minority. Instead of endeavouring to compensate for their past transgressions by their gradual conversion to a more rational policy, we are prepared to see the Protec- tionist bigotries confirmed and their animosities intensified. The experience acquired during the two last sessions cannot be forgotten. The dispersed phalanx of Conservatism then fund, that as it would be an absurdity to struggle against the overwhelming forces of their antagonists, so the manifestation of a fac tious opposition would at once gratify their own miserable spleen, and tend to retard the passage of the popular measures. Having acquired this knowledge, the Protectionists will scarcely be disposed to refrain from the employment of the negative power still in their possession. Time can be frittered away in pre tended discussions, debates may be almost indefinitely adjourned at the first reading, an d at the second reading impediments may be th rown in the way of Government Bills by piece. meal objections, clause after clause, whenever the wh the H ouse i s reso l ve d into Committee. These things will not be lost upon the rancorous antagonists of con stitutional reform; and hence the popular representa tives, and the popular Administration, will be re quired to evinc e an unusual share of patience, acti vity, unanimity, and determination. Already the probable strength of the different classes of politicians may be tolerably conjectured; and what is, if possible, of yet greater linP ortance, the relative tal en t o f the three different (livi-ions Liberals, Peelite s , an d Protectionists, may beesti: mated. The talent en li s t e d on the side of the Protec tionists is not by any means so formidable the numerical force o f t h at party, and i ts nu as merical force, when contrasted with that of the Liberals and Peelites, or even with the Liberals alone, is absolutely insignificant. The very fact of any man entertaining principles so opposed to the deductions T ~. 14 N 172-1, DAFT E F. N' N G,' Madrid papers of the 6th instant have arrived. PACHECO and BENAVIDES are endeavouring to bring about a reconciliation betWe'en, the QUEEN and her husband, with, it is said, some prospect of success. Serious differences have arisen between PACHECO and SALAMANCA, and the President of the Council, is said, threatens to resign if SALAMANCA is any longer permitted to remain in the Cabinet. Should PACHECO resign, NARVAEZ will probably succeed him. Some persons, hoever, reckon confidently on the forma tion of a Progressista Ministry. General CONCHA has not yet returned, but General BLASEE, at the head of five battalions of infantry, a squadron of cavalry, and two batteries of artillery, arrived at Zamora, from Portugal, on the ht instant. According to the Furo, the Ministry has neither credit nor money, but a p►ivate letter states that Senor BUCHENTHAL has succeeded in ,rahing London 40,000,000 of reels of the loans of 100,(00,000 contracted for by the Bank of Union. Ihe taxes paid into the public treasury during the month of July, amount to 100,000,00 Z% of real. • MADRID BoLSA, AUG. 6.—The Three per Cents. were done at 26i for cash ; the Five per Cents. at 17-1 ; and the Coupons at l5. We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. The Court left the Tuileries on Tuesday for Eu. The National says— •" The journey was to have taken place two days sooner, but was adjourned. It was remarked that Louis Philippe appeared co be suffering and weak. Contrary to his ordinary custom, he was obliged to support himself on a cane in walking from his carriage to the railway train." Some riots have occurred at Troyes, in consequence of a discovery made by the people of a conspiracy among the farmers and bakers to raise the average price of corn by means of fictitious sales, in order to keep up the price of bread. One farmer and one baker, who were caught in the act of entering a fic titious sale in the public record, were committed to prison. This pacified the people, who quietly dis persed. The following warning to the Government is from the Siecle. We have ourselves frequently pointed out the resemblance between 1827 and 1847, which is here alluded to. .Let us hope that the existing authorities of France will take warning, and adept (we cannot say return to) honest courses, while there is yet time. The Siecle says -6 Twenty years since the restoration, after having during several sessions united in the Chambers a ma jority considerable in numbers, and every day more satisfied, came at length to have but the most trifling majority in the country. The taults of the Government having daily accumulated the grievances and the strength of the Oppositio ,, , an unanimous feeling as at. length against It, so that when t shtiwed - Itselt dt chit d to maintain at ail hazsrdu a system of desperation, a not less deivrtnined will was expressed by the nation to op pose an invincible resistance. Everybody knows what were the consequences of this antagonism. carried by the restoration even to an open violation of all law and of every constitutional guarantee. We trust that. the same in fatuation will not be seen at so short a distarce from the revolution of Ju;y; but it is itnpossible fur us not to remark that the present G .verntnent, which, at its ac cession, was greeted with a must universal support, and Witch, during several years. preserved at least a consi derable party, which supported it even in its eccentri cities, partly through passion and partly through interest, has itself likewise arrived at the point of alienating abh disgusting. the greater number of its defenders. The unanimity which was r. marked in the years 1827 sr.': 1828 is now :visibly re organ z:tig itielf. There now r,— main us servants and support. rs of the system and of the Ministers none but avaricious or cerruut men, wh• sl.veya watt until the tail of a Government to dech,r. against it. • We make this remark with less joy than sorrow. in order to fulfil a duty, and net to announe. fresh calamities. These misfortunes, nevertheless, may be prevented, arid it is precis.ly for that reason that we here renew our honourable warning whilst there is still time." Corruption, it would seem, runs through the whole of every governmental department. While the Cabinet Minister is corruptly granting a conces sion of mines, the employe of the hospital is pilfering stores. The following trial exposes the rottenness of the whole system on which the Executive Govern , ment of France is conducted " A court-martial assembled on Monday and Tuesday to try Lagrange, ex accountant, and Delorme, adjutant of the military hospital du Gros Caillou, for malversa- Lions and traud in the discharge of their duties. La grange took to flight when his guilt was discovered, and did not appear to take his trial, but the evidence against him was received. On entering into office in the month of April, 1846. L agrange i mme di ate l y commence d a sys tem of peculation, in which Delorme participated. Every day they took soup, meat, and bread, vegetables, wine, wood, and other articles for their own use. Their ser vants presented themselves regularly to receive some of the articles ; Delorme wore a coat with immense pocket, in which he was accustomed to slip others ; and Lagrange caused articles to disappear mysteriously as well as publicly. At length, in May last, M. Mele coir d'Arcq, intendant militaire of the first division, re ceived a letter from Labouret, one of the men engaged in the infirmary, in which the frauds were denounced. In consequence of this, that gentleman went to the hospital at the early hour of four in the morning, and made an inspection of the contents of the soup pot. He found that it contained a much smaller quantity of meat than it ought to have done, and on making further inquiries the whole system of peculation was brought to light. In addition to his thefts of provisions, La grange was proved to have added to the items of bills in order to obtain a larger sum than he had really paid, and it was also shown that he had made many of the tradesmen of the hospital give him receipts in blank, which he filled up as he pleas, d. The amount of which he had:deirauded the State, in a year, was at least 7,000 f. Delorine stated in his defence that he had taken provi sions himself, and allowed Lagrange to take them, because the latter had given bins orders to no so as his superior officer. Ile also stated that fur what he Ilier himself taken he had always paid Lagrange, and bi lieved that he had duly accounted for it to the Governmei.t. His advocste made . an earnest app. al on his behalf, and Specially insisted on the tact of his being hound to act a. ers of his i ri r gao d , a n t chief. The Court taking the same view of the case, acquitted Delorme ; but La labour,grae )ea .prisonment with hard y l e was declared guilty, an of Honour with which h ' e l s Cl 3h( c ,,f, : i n a tb d t te :d ee n : ne t n r o (o : es d n sco l t l cl i, i l t t fi a t / td the Plesidi-nt of the Court saying, as it he were present, ' You have tailed in honour !

The following is from the Moniteur Algerien : " The intelligence from Morocco seems to indicate an important change in the si , uation of par its. Aid el.

This event does not appear in any manner connected with an attempt at revolt.

This week's arrival of English Wheat, almost wholly of the present year's growth, has been small ; and the Show of samples here, to-day, was trifling. Previously to the elose of the market a good clearance was effected, at Monday's prices. Nearly 50,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have come in since Saturday last. The best qualities were in moderate request, at full currencies • but all other kinds were is per quarter cheaper. In Barley exceedingly little business was passing, but prices ruled about stationary. The same remark may be ap plied to Malt. There was a fair demand for Oats, the prices of which were well supported. Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn were heavy, and rather lower. Flour was dull, and some few sales were effected on easier terms.

EAST LANCASHIRE RAILWAY. (THIS DAY.) The usual half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of this company was this day held at the London Tavern. The chair was taken at eleven o'clock, by G. 11. Packe, Esq.; the chairman of the company. The usual preliminaries having been gone through, the secretary proceeded to read the report, which stated that the two Bills, one, to enable the directors of this company, and the Great Northern Company, to carry out the agreement for leasing, &c., already approved by the shareholders of both companies ; the other to enable the company to purchase an existing lease of the Louth Navigation, at a rent of 1,5001. per annum, for a period of twenty-nine years, had re ceived the sanction of the Legislature. The - works upon the line were being proceeded with as rapidly as possible; and the Great Northern Company were, in conformity with their agreement, providing the kof engines, teer s c e a v rri a ar es, waggons, &c., for working the tn e line portions of it were completed. The total receipts of the company, on payments of de s as h posits, instalments, and calls, had been 175,3961.45. 6d., leaving . a balance in the hands of the company of 53,567/. 12s. Bd. The report having been received and adopted, se veral resolutions, in accordance with the recommen dations of the directors, were agreed to. A vote of thanks was given to the chairman, and the meeting broke up. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.) The usual half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of this company Vok. place to-day, at the Euston square station. George Carr - Glyn, Esq., M.P., took the chair at twelve o'clock. The usual preliminary proceedings having been gone through, and the minutes of the last meeting having been read and adopted, The CHAIRMAN said, before the report was read, he was anxious to make a few observations. lie thought the Company had given to the public all the advantages of competition ; but if that principle was carried on, it would be found that where combination was po-sible, COlllt etirion would tie found to be impossible. The public safety would be endangered thereby, because no }_erson would be found in railway companies to keep them up to that. perfection which they had hitherto att•,ined.— (Cheers.) The accounts of the company were before the proprietors; there was a great falling off, he was sorry to say, of- the passengers traffic of the com pany for the last half-year. In first class passengers alone there was a falling off of 16,4001. In the second class a small increase had taken place, but in third-class passengers, there was a falling off of 8,345/. There was also a great deduction under the head of horses and carriages, and live stock ; added to this, there was a great increase in the rates and t axes. The worthy Chairman, after alluding to the Bills in which they had been successful, and those in which they had failed in the late Parliament, stated that it was not the intention of the directors to proceed hastily with any of the measures for whicn they had obtained the sanction of Parliament. The regu lations of Parliament had forced upon them the course they had pursued.—(Cheers.) This company had been anxious for x settlement of all the differences between all companies ; and he hoped the time was not far distant when they would all pull together— (Cheers)—and every railway company have an op portunity of looking into its own concerns. The SECRETARY then read the report, which, after taking a review of the proceedings of the company for the last half year, and the works that had been carried on during that period, recommended a divi dend of 4i per cent. for the last half year. The report was unanimously agreed to, as were also resolutions for a dividend of 4f per cent. for the last half year, after a few observations from some of • the proprietors. In an'wer to a question from a PROPRIETOR, The CHAIRMAN said that the proprietors might ex pect but a small increase in their dividends next half year. :With respect to the Oxford and Birmingham line, all the company asked for was, that it might be a second line for them into Birmingham. Their object in this was to prevent an immense outlay of the capital of this company, and that was the whole secret of the proceedings of the directors of this comoany• Mr. CROSSFIELD said that it had been decided that it was not illegal for the proprietors of that com pany to possess shares in the Oxford and Birmingham Company, and he trusted, therefore, that the pro prietors would increase the number of shares which they at present po-sessed in that company. Thanks were then unanimously voted to the Chair• man and directors, and the meeting separated. MARLBRO' - STREET-(THIS DAY.) doses Rosenplatt a Jew hawker, was charged by Mr Coatles Hail, 112, B.acktriars-road, with hawking goods without a livens , . The complainant stated that about six o'clock on the previous aft, moon defendant came into a. public-house. where he was, in Burlington street, and off, red jewellery or sale. A person in the room purchased a void 1 2 " , complainant 13,ught one also. Ile then asked de ndmit to produce his license. Ile said that lie had not , t ot one, and hastily left the i• 011 SP. Complainant :01- tow , d hitn, and saw him cater the White Horse pubde uou.e, in !la , - same street, where he endtavowed to sell a pin to the harm-dd. Complainant then calved a con staLle and gave him in charge. In answer to the charge the defendant sail he was in re piverty. and hai a wife and tour littl e children depending upon him for suprt. He was i•,treat ilis gat p tri ss, and could not afford to pay tor a lie •.n e. The ,goads were not his own, they belonged to Mr. Davis in Hounsditch, who employed him to sell then. Mr. BINGHAM Suitt that there were many poor trades men who had rates and taxes to pay, and he thought it very hard upon them for people like the defendant to be allowed to sell without the proper license, and he cer tainly would not allow it; but if he (defendant) could prove that he wss an agent employed by another party, that would alter the case. If he could not do that, he (Sir. Bi ng ham) had HO alternative than to inflict the usual penalty of 50/. The defendant begged the magistrate to send to Arr. Davis, who would no doubt satisfy him that he was merely his agent. Mr. BINGHAM said he would send an officer with him to Mr. Davis, and if his statement was found correct he should discharge him. s ET j o i b N d . AUG.MR. COBDEN'S ARRIVAL AT - Richard Cobden arrived here from Berlin, after a stay of eleven days in that city, and was received at the terminus by a large number of his friends and admirers. A grand entertainment was to be given that evening, in his honour, at the Hotel de Presse. He will proceed to-morrow morn ing, by way of Danzig and Conigshey, to St. Peters• burgh and Moscow, and to return thence by . Stock holm, Copenhagen, and Hamburgh, whefe it is now expected that he will not arrive till near the end of September. This latter place will terminate Mr. Cobden's grand continental tour; and, doubtless, Place the crowning honour upon his triumphal career.. Berlin; which may be considered as the birth-place and focus of the Zollverein province, for Mr. Cob den's signal distinctions and sympathies, both from his Majesty and the Prince of Prussia, as well as the leading men both in the state and the commercial world. Mr. Cobden often (expressed his sentiments at the Zollverein, and the germs of our developing greatness which it contains, in his speech at the public dinner given in honour of him, he lamented that his own country had not followed the example of Prussia thirty years ago, and manifested some reciprocity of feeling.
