VIE SECRET (From the Morning Hog) a s The journals in the interest of the Government, and even those claimed by the Whigs as their peculiar property, have so often alluded lately to a supposed junction between Mr. Disraeli and Mr. Gladstone, that it would not only be gross affecta tion in us not4o notice it, but might even bear the construction'that we feared to meet the question. It will not have escaped cur readers that the journals which are most hostile to Conservative principles put forward the assertion with a degree 9f glee which is quite incompatible with the sup position that such a junction would strengthen the Country party. 1 11, ALBERT SMITH'S MONT BLANC.

At lfat f t o e r rs s a o ll 9 's i. , on Monday, ten were taken against the field SOUTHAMPTON. The long protracted struggle which has afflicted this town for the last three months, has just terminated in the election of the Liberal candidate, Mr. Weguelin, Governor of the Bank of England, to represent the bo rough in the House of Commons. The Times is jocular, and describes the two gen tlemen in question as anxious to show their mutual goodwill by " helping each other on with their great coats," while the equally facetious Examiner de scribes them as a pair of lovers engaged in amorous dalliance, and impatient for the day which is to bless their union. Now, in our minds, the " hoc Ithacus velit" is quite apparent in this tone, and that with our enemies at least the wish is father to the thought, being persuaded in their own minds that such a, proceeding would be the beginning of the end, as far as Conservatism is concerned--_ " Fas est et ab hosts doeeri."

Every vehicle in the town was placarded with the name of one of the candidates ; hundreds of partisans were seen sporting the colours of their favourite. Sir Edward Butler healed the poll up to 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. Weguelin was next, and Mr. Andrews last, At that time desperate fights took place in the High-street betwee❑ the partisans of Sir Edward Butler and Mr. Weguelin, the committee rooms of whom were opposite each other. After 2 o'clock Mr. Weguelin les sened the distance between himself and his Tory oppo nent, and gradually got ahead of him. Mr. Andrews alio picked up well, but he bad got so far behind that he could not recover. Besides, at this time, numbers who were disposed to vote for Mr. Andrews, seeing the improbability of his winning, went in and voted for Weguelin to keep out Butler, the Tory.

Recruiting for the several infantry regiments having been for the present suspended, it has been determined that those corps on the Indian establishment in want of men to complete their strength shall be augmented from regiments which are above their prescribed establishment. A great deal of activity prevails among the troops at Chatham garrison, where there are at present about 500 men, belonging to the various branches of the service, daily undergoing a course of rifle instruction. As the season is approaching when nearly 2,000 young soldiers will leave Chatham to join the head-quarters of their respective regiments in India, great pains ars taken to have each man instructed in the use of the Enfield rifle previously to his landing in that country.

A lifeboat intended for presentation by Government to the Government of Chili, in consideration of succour rendered by the Chilians to British mariners in distress, is lying in the boathouse wharf at Woolwich, awaiting an opportunity for conveyance to her destination. This boat is built on the principle of a design produced by Mr. J. Peake, assistant master shipwright of Woolwich Dockyard. Her length is 30 feet ; width, 8 feet beam ; depth amidships, 3 feet 4 inches, exclusive of keel ; ditto, from boat's floor to deck, 1 foot 3 inches ; ditto, from deck to thwarts, 1 foot 3 inches ; ditto, from thwarts to gunwale, 10 inches ; length of end cases, 4 feet ; width of side cases extreme, 1 foot 6 inches.

MANCHESTER, FEB. 10 There has been rather more activity in the yarn mar ket, and in some kinds of twist we may quote id. ad vance on last Tuesday's quotations. The principal buyers have been the German and Russian houses, and there has been some little doing for India. Cop yarns are also in good request, without change in prices so far as lower counts are considered, but the finer cops, from 70's upwards, are fully id. per lb. dearer, owing to the extra demand recently made for Egyptian and Brazilian cotton. In cloths beyond a better feeling there is nothing to remark. There has been very little business doing in fabrics suited to either the home or foreign mar kets. In India and China skirtings there is now EOM) accumulation of stocks, more particularly in filb. and 71b. goods. Prices have declined in these goods during the last four weeks from 41d. to 6d. per 'piece, which leaves a heavy loss on their production at the present rates for the raw material. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report : " From Tuesday last to the end of the week there was no change in the state of the market for goods. Yester day and to-day, however, owing principally to the im provement in the cotton market, but in some degree also to the gradual extension of short time, there has been more firmness displayed by producers than for the last two or three weeks, a nd in some instances a slight advan ce has been asked, but so far there is no improvement whatever in the demand, and the transactions of this day are conse quently again on a very small scale." Messrs. George Fraser, Son, and Co. report:— "There has been somewhat more business doing in India goods where low prices were taken, but it has not done anything to affect the other portions of the market, which remain steady, but with few and limited transactions." NOTTINGHAM, FEB. 10. The lace trade has improved to a slight extent, still in many branches business is dull. For Canada and the continental markets there is a fair amount of business transactions, and operations for our home trade are also extending. Brown nets continue exceedingly dear. There are orders for goods for America, and upon the whole the lace trade is in a healthy trade. In silks and fancy goods there is not much doing, in consequence of the high price of material. The hosiery trade continues very brisk, the demand which we have experienced for several weeks past being in no way diminished. The stocks on h an d b e i ng ver y l o w, the present demand ren ders the m ar k e t very b usy . res L p E ec l t e s E w S o T rs E te ß d , a F nrw . 10. Trade, m ore especially as goods,oollen tton continues dull. There is a tolerable inquiry for articles ; a g o o d d ea l o f mac hi ner y is, however, still unempl o y e d. The price precludes o f increase yarns has become serious, and entirely of stocks. ,0. The wooll en c l oth market has ben LEEDS very firm FEL in l both cloth balls this morning. Meltons, ladies' cloths, and other fabrics for the spring trade are in brisk request, and the supply is scarcely equal to the demand. Manu facturers are busy, and they are not disposed to sell ex cept at an advance on last month's prices. The report of the Iluddersfield market to-day is as follows : " The market is a very fair one. There is an average attendance of buyers, and inquiries for summer goods have commenced among shipping houses with consider. able briskness. Tho usual sales are cheap fancies, cot ton warps, &c. Both in raw material and the manu factured article stocks are low. In wools prices are still a dvancing.7 The many events that are now before the public causes an early and numerous attendance at the rooms, ani never to our recollection were there so many books opened at this period of the year as there are now. And as regards th e • dd s o ff ered, w i t h a f ew exceptions, against horses, they ace really ex travagant, yet could be obtained to m oney . Tattersall's and B e eton's quotations are almost disregarded here, so well versed do the book makers seem to be with the relative chances of the dif ferent candidates, and so great the competition amongst the layers of the odds. We have very little to record respecting investments made to-day, which were very few, no commissions of any weight being executed ; however, we h ave g i ven a lengthy list of prices which are chiefly made up from offers. For the Liverpool Steeplechase, Minos was firm at 10 to 1, and 100 t , ) 6 would have been taken about Omar Pasha, who has many friends. 8 to 1 was taken to a pony about Skir misher for the Northampton Stakes, and 10 to 1 about Madame Rachel for the Metropolitan Stakes.

Weguelin l,OOO Butler Andrews These numbers will probably be slightly altered to-day, at the deolaration, but there cannot be a doubt that Mr. Weguelin is at the head of the poll. While Mr. Weguelin was addressing the crowd, yes terday, after 4 o'clock, a large omnibus, filed with a set of roughs exhibiting Sir Edward Butler's colours, and " Harry Broome" and " Jerry Noon," the prize-fighters from London, mounted on the box, drove up, but could not pass through the crowd. They then dismounted from the vehicle, and commenced fighting right and left, when two policemen came up and manfully collared one of the "gentlemen of the P. R." and amid the cheers of the populace carried him off to the station house, where he now remains. GREENWICH. Yesterday morning, long before the hour appointed for the polling to commence, the three districts into which the borough is divided were in a state of com motion. CLOSE OF THE POLL. Codrington _____ 2,975 Sleigh Majority for Codrington At the close of the poll General CODEINGTON pre sented himself to the electors, and was received with erect cheering, not unmingled with less grateful sounds. The gallant general briefly returned thanks for the honour which had been conferred upon him, and retired amid considerable cheering. Colonel Sleigh next addressed the meeting, declaring his intention of petitioning the House of Commons against the return of General Codringtoa on the ground of bribery ; and, having remarked upon Government influence and intimidation in the borough, said the peti tion would be so successful that within one fortnight he should take his seat as the representative of the borough in Parliament. This announcement was received with very consider able hilarity, and the proceedings terminated. NEWPORT, ISLE OF WIGHT, The polling took place yesterday, and, after a hard day's fight, Mr. Kennard, the Tory candidate, has been returned at the head of the poll, having polled 271 to Mr. Seely's 251, leaving about 100 voters unpolled, principally Liberals, that the Sunday question had driven from Mr. Seely's camp. Had he not expressed in his address his determination to vote for the opening of the Crystal Palace, the National Gallery, and the British Museum, he would have been returned by a large majority, many Radicals even having voted against him on that account. Many attempts were made by his friends to prevail on him to give in on this point, but he would not. WEST KENT. The nomination for a representative of this division of the county of Kent is fixed to take place at noon, on Monday next, at Penenden Heath, near Maidstone. The polling will take place in the various districts on the following Thursday, and, by a recent act of Parliament, will be confined to one day only. LIMERICK. The committee of the Irish Tenant League having issued a resolution declaring that Mr. Monsell, the late member and present candidate for the county of Lime rick, " being a place-holder under a hostile ministry, is an enemy to the interests of the tenant-farmers of Ire land," the proceeding has (ways a correspondent) excited unmitigated indignation and contempt among all classes in every part of the county. There is, perhaps, no county in Ireland in which the Liberal and Roman Catholic party is stronger than Limerick, but the Ten ant League made a great mistake in attempting to de nounce Mr. Monsell to the electors. In all probability , that gentleman will be returned on Tuesday next, with out being even put to the trouble of attending at the hustings. DOWPATRICK. The nomination of candidates for the borough of Downpatrick took place on Monday, to fill the vacancy left by the elevation of the late representative to the peerage, as the present Lord Ilardinge. Mr. Richard Ker and Mr. W. Johnston were duly proposed and seconded, the former on the part of the moderate liberal interest, and the latter on that of the extreme protestant and Derbyite party. The show of hands being in favour of Mr. Johnston, a poll was demanded for his antagoniot, and will take place to-day. SP.RIIIrGt ASSIZES. (Prom Tuesday's Gazette.) CROWN-OFFICE, FEB. 9, 1857.

The deaths registered in London, which had been in the first week of January 1,135, and in the last week of the same month 1,200,, rose in the week that ended last Saturday to 1,368. In the years 1847-56, the average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week was 1,180. If this ,average is raised for the purpose of comparison, proportionally to increase of population, it Will becomel,29B ; and hence it appears that the rate of mortality which prevailed last week was higher than the average rate in the beginning of Feb. ' The increase, which the present return shows, 'on the deaths in Jan., arises from the recent depres sion of temperature, which commenced. towards the end of that month, and continued till near the end of last week. The weather was generally mild in the first three weeks of the year. The mean tem perature was 37 deg. In the fourth week it fell to 31.2 deg., and last week it was 32.3 deg. ; and on two days since the 28th ult. it has been 12 deg. below the average. The deaths from diseases of the respiratory or gans, the clan which more than others rite falls with the fluctuations of heat and cold, rt,..,z is week to 859 ; they had been for tome previous weeks about - 280. The average of this cor rected for increase of population, for ten weeks cor responding with last week, is 285. 'The deaths from' bronchitis in the last four weeks were 170, 164, 166, and 224. -The increase of pneumonia in the last week is much less considerable. PhthisAs, which was fafal in the previous week in 146 cases, numbered last week 184. Hooping-cough carried off 61 children and, as regards the extentto which it was fatal, showed little change on recent weeki. A child died of hooping-cough at 2, Churcb.-Court, Westminster, being the fourth fatal case of this complaint in the same house. Four children died or measles in the Marylebone workhouse ; the total number of deaths from this disease was 38. Only 3 deaths from small-pox were registered last week in London. The deaths of four nonagenarians were returned ; the two eldest of these aged persons, namely, 'a widow in Queen-street, Ratcliffe, and a lady in Southampton-row, had attained the age of 96 years. Last week the births of 976 boys and 915 girls, in all 1,891 children, were regist9red in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1847- 156 the average number was 1,620. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29/62 ilk.. The lowest reading in the week was 29.41 in. ; the highest occurred on Wednesday, •and was 30.14 The mean temperature of the week was 32.3 which is 51 deg. below the average of the same week in 43 Tars.

A public meeting of the electors of Marylebone, spe cially convened by circular and public advertisement, at the instance of the " United Parochial and Political As sociation of the Borough of Marylebone, was held on Monday evening last, at the Colosseum Hotel, Portland road, for the purpose of considering the following reso lution : " That this meeting, deprecating the language which has been recently used by an individual on public occa sions towards the senior representative of this borough, unanimously expresses the admiration in which Sir Ben jamin Hall is held by the electcra now present, and takes this opportunity to testify their admiration of his con duct, not only as their representative awl as the friend . of local self-government, but also in the administration of the important public offices which he has so honour ably and so admirably filled, as well as to recognise the influence of Sir Benjamin Hall's success as an adminis trator in promoting the principles of reform." The large room of the hotel was densely crowded, and many were unable to obtain admission. Amongst the gentlemen present were Mr. Nicholay, Mr. Jacob Bell, Mr. Win. Field, Whitmore, George, Bridgman, Poland, d'lffanger, Dr. Bachhoffaer, M'Evily, Hodges, Farrar, and several other influentia electors. Mr. FIELD occupied the chair. Mr. BRINSMEAD moved and Mr. FARRAR seconded the resolution, and extolled the conduct of Sir B. Hall. Mr. HALLAM moved and Mr. C. GEORGE seconded the following amendment :—" That, in the opinion of this meeting, it is the privilege of every elector freely to can vass the public acts of his representative in Parliament, and that on the present occasion it is not necessary to express any opinion upon the public conduct of the Right Hon. Sir B. Hall." Mr. HODGES supported the original resolution. Mr. D'IFFANGER neither liked the resolution nor the amendment. (Laughter.) The first was too severe upon Mr. Nich e l a y, th e secon d no t su ffi c iently complimentary to Sir B. Hall Mr. DYKE also supported the resolution. Dr. BAC HHOFFNER thought a public apology due from Mr. Nicholav to Sir B. Hall. adoption of a resolution Mr. J. BELL suggested o the n Mr. Nicholay, and expressed leaving out all reference t Mr. WHITMORE opposed the r esolution. r and gen t w l e a m a e r n e , - his approval of the t_ having spoken, Mr. M'Evrev, conduct of Sir B. Hall. Mr. NICHOLAY Tol e. He P i i d a nd o t himself, he (Mr. Nicholay) had nothing ceived with loud M P r a . B :ao d w e f iv e the term jesuitical, he meant to Hall's letter. I to regret as to the mode in which he had spoken of Sir B. . n u t t in that letter there were a great , but which meant nothing. So far from his many words, hostile feelings to Sir B. Hall, he had ever entertaining . convey his opinion t e% been one of his foremost supporters ; and he (Mr. Nicholay) thought the true supporters of Sir B. Hall had grea t cause to complain of the injudi c i ous zeal of some of hie friends in dragging him before the public by this ill-timed resolution. His (Ur. Nicholay's) policy had ever been to magnify the popular acts of Sir Benjamin and throw a cloak over his uepopular ones. That he had done so was evident from many circumstances. Did not Sir B. Hall, he would ask, oppose the people by voting with the ministers against the opening of the Crystal Palace on Sunday l— (hear, hear)—and, again, did he not vote against Mr. Roebuck's motion for the Crimean inquiry ? (Loud applause.) Had be (Me- Nicholay) been opposed to Sir B. Hall he might have noticed these shortcomings of their right lion. member, by the severest censures, but he did not do so. Alter 'orne furthe r remar k s upon the necessity for wraetcohe to i ng the conduct of th e metropo li tan mem b ers i n ref the important question of the war tax, Mr. Nle ho olay re ,,umed his seat amidst loud cheers. Mr. BRINSMEAD having replied, the amen d men t was put and declared by the chairman to be loud applause. carr i e d amidst Tbis report—of which we do not believe one word—has obtained such publicity, principally, as we have shown, through the columns of our oppo nents, as to render some reply necessary ; and we proceed to give it, although we are firmly convinced that the report merely owes its origin to the net' unnatural agreement of two statesmen, otherwise r;noset that faith should be kept with the nation regard of the pledge oiveh. that the income tax should terminate in 1360. Having made this pro viso, we proceed to make some observations upon the probable effects of the supposed junction, from the ConserVitive Voint z of view, setting forth what we conceive to be not oily the impolicy, but prac tically the impossibility of such a junction. We have the authority Of one ,:of the supposed contracting .parties, that " EiiiTand loves not coalitions," and certainly her experience of the last two has not bcen such as to increase her affection, for such ill-omened associations. It is to be presumed that this new coalition, so to call it, could'only arise from the mutual anxiety of the eminent persons principally interested to re turn to office on almost any terms. In every such arrangement there must be at least two contracting parties, and we can easily believe that the Peelite leader has obtained his own. consent ; in fact, we agree, with the Examiner that Mr. Gladstone is be coming exceedingly tired of-what our contemporary terms his " political batchelorhood ;" in other words, that state of isolation which threatens him and his friends with permanent exclusion from office and its enjoyments. • - There is, however, another power whose consent is absolutely necessary—namely, the Conservative party as a whole. Will such consent be given ? We believe not. - Let us not beiuisunderstood. We are as anxious as any can be to see the return of our friends to office, but we : are equally anxious that such return should be. permanent and secure, We have no wish to tee them in office if not in power, and we specially deprecate any temporary arrangement which would have the effect of I:ringing them hack to the Treastry benches, if.such restoration were to be followed by speedy ejectment and great loss of character. We return to the phrase, the Conservative patty as a whole, for it brings us at once to the question of practicability. Few will deny that in case of the junction in question taking .place, nothing less than the undivided strength of both Conservatives and Peelites would be necessary to maintain it is place. Now, the immediate point at issu3 is, how far the support of the - whole party can be relied on ? The Conservative body, as our readera must be aware, although agreeing in all main points, is in a certain degree divided, at least so far as that each of its different sections give a greater importance to certain portions of the common creed than is allowed by the others. _ One portion, it is evident, look .o •the religious or Protestant part as that entitled to predominance. A second considers that more importance should be given to the support of the landed constitution of the country. While a third may be said to look more especially after the commercial and financial policy of the empire. gow, let us see on which of these three ques tions Mr. Gladstone can claim the support of their respective adherents. Surely it cannot be supposed that a gentleman who is well known for his Purvey to leanings, and who supported and comforted Caidinal Wiseman at the period of the Papal aggression, can possibly expect the support of the religious section of the Conservative party. We have reason to believe that an appeal to the constituency at Oxford would place this matter beyond a doubt. It is stated, to be sure, that the right hon. gentleman would return to office as a zealous Protestant ; but in our eyes, this, if true, would only convey that there is nothing he would not do to effect so desirable an object. Again, the whole landed aristocracy is suffering under the succession duties, which, sooner or later, must break up all estates, as certainly as that effect would have been produced by the repeal of the law of primogeniture. This body, it must ba remembered, contains, not only the titled landowners, but the still older and more widely extended aristocracy known as the landed gentry. Surely Mr. Gladstone •cannot expect any very cordial support from those men whose interests he avowedly sacrificed to relieve certain classes from the income tax who should bear ir , whilst there is an income tax. Next, let us con4der the feeling of those who chiefly look to his financial and commerci;'l ante cedents. No man can doubt that Mr. Gladstone must pursue in both cases the carrying out of that Manchester policy of whi h he has always been the chief exponent, and can hardly expect the support of Conservatives in such an object. Moreover, Manchester, is not, at the present moment, iu such a flourishing state as to render her a very desirable ally. There are two things now pretty well under stood which will in future make an extension of the Manchester policy, to which we hold Mr. Gla Istqne irrevocably pledged, impossible. Tile first is, that the masses are at last beginning to find 'out that free trade has not given them the promised big loaf ; the second, that her wicked connivance in the maintaining the worst evils of slavery to secure cheap cotton has produced a state of things which we always foresaw—namely, that the reed upon which she leant would break and pierce her side. In fact, the American slave states can supply the staple of trade no longer ; and this alone will ren der a return to a Conservative system of policy in evitable, even if England had not expressed from end to end her determination no longer to submit to direct taxation. How in these circumst an ces, we ask, are Conservatives to supfort Mr. Glad- stone 7 We have entered into this question at some length, because, although firmly convinced that the junction in question would he suicidal, we consider that, to avoid dispute and personal recrimination, it would be better to prove that it would be found impracticable. We hope we have at least showiwitibtoutot b e e al s l ur in: rounded with difficulties and danger o s f ,i d r o r o e wr sp shl e c o h t t i h v ar e st of the sacrifices of moral principles which it must l and their rulers tivv g n i i E n glishmen no necessarily .cagi eirinoi lid o i o v arw e et eqoavuni require hereafter tsrised conclude aefostu.e out of the attention of our readers to a feeling g far more of political earnestness and integrity than of mere talent; and with all our respect for Mr. Gladstone's capacity, we cannot but feel that his political antecedents have not been such as to secure to the country those necessary, though cc rial guarant ees ." inmate- PEMBROKE COLLEGE.—Two scholarships, of the vales of 50/, a year and rooms, tenable for five years, and open to all persons under 19 years of age, will be filled up on Friday, March 20.
