WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 4. 1r!,47. Taking all the confusion of political principles into consideration, the Government may congratulate themselves upon the extraordinary success ‘shich has .hitherto attended the appearance of their candidates. The rejection of such colleagues as Mr MACAULAY and Sir JOHN CAM HosuousE must unquestionably ',prove a serious annoyance to Lord JOHN RUSSELL; nor can the failure of Mr. HAwES and of Mr. RCA , uccic. be a matter of indifference. On the whole, hOwever, the Popular Party has gained considerably during the progress of the English and Scottish borough elections. One after another have eminent and already distinguished men been returned with triumphant majorities by the Liberal electors of different constituencies. Even in their most the 'fished predictions the Protectionists have, on the contrary, been miserably deceived. The hustings of Caiterbtry were to be the platform of the Nemesis of Toryism ; and yet the Hon. G. P. S. SMITHS has not only been unscathed by the brand of the avenging goddess, but he has been triumphant t in company with a nobleman of the vindicate the predilections. Liverpool was to the dignity of the outraged agriculturists: and yet Mr. CARDWELL has surmounted all the obstacles of opposition, and obtained the ,uffruges of its citizens in conjunction with a pertinacious Liberal. Ripon was to crush the Parliamentary exislence of a renegade Minister :• and yet Sir JAMES GRAHAM has obtained the majority of the votes of its int , ahitatits. Cambridge was to witness the ignominious discomfi ture of a statesman with a similar reputation: yet Mr. GOULBURN has vanqui•hed even the formidable popularity of the young and accomplished Lord FEILDING. Insinuations were even indu ged in v‘ith reference to the conatiuency of Tam worth, and this notwithstanding the almost libellous jeers of those w h o whispered that the borough was comfortably ensconced in the pocket of the ex-Premier and yet Sir ROBERT PEBL was not merely returned as its representative, but be was returned with ent h usiasm. Stich are the successes of t h e followersothe Free trade Prime Minister; and in their goid f Liberalortune we recognised the better fortune still the cause with which they are virtually associated. The gentlemen who nominally distinguishthem - selves a s th e sup p o rt e rs of a policy whic h they 11 "" long been ashamed to advocate—namely Protec tion—have, on the other hand, encountered the most alarming difficulties, and in several instance; those difficulties have proved altogether insur-"ountable. In Liverpool, for example, Lord JOHN Alarmeas has been abruptly repulsed. At Knaresborou,gh the re doubtable Mr.. BVSFEILD FERRAND—the Captain BOBADIL of the House of Cotntnons with a pre science of the fate reserved for him by the consti tuents in the event of his presthning to claim their mamas again, retreated with that discretion which Sir JOHN FaLsrarr happil y terms " the better part of valour." Mr. SPOONER, still ballaviLg implicitly in the continued gullibility e gi w m e population of Bir m i ng h a gcaT.tave, sze. meind :art advent ured upon j-ast ment of his temerity. Such are some of the calami- i lt may be said that it is by the students themselves ties which have befallen the obsequious creatures of it is carried on, hut it would speedily be supr resseci the 8.. n inck Stanli-y Opposition. if it we're not, n only s.on tion.-,1 and teb-ratee, hut It would be unnecessary to enumerate the various directly encouragt d by the school authorities. We circumstances o f a f or t un ate character which have, trustthat some st e p s may b e ta k en to a b o li s h b ot h on the contrary, attended the Liberal candidates 1 these iniquitous customs, and that the practices of throughout the United Kingdom. The lengthening public schools may be rendered more consistent catalogue daily publi-Thed in our columns affords of I with the increased intelligence and enligbtment itself the best guarantee as to the real Position of of the age. parties and the real popularity of political principles. That that popularity tends in the vast majority of con stituencies to the advocates of constitutional reform is obvious. Several of the successful candidates are even of a class that would be designated by the timorous as ultra-Liberals, and by the lovers of Conservatism as dangerous Radicals. And it is creditable to the people that most of these gentlemen are renowned in a great measure fur their versa - ility, for their genius, for their practical ability, or fur their oratorical inspira tion. Among these must be particularly mentioned Colonel PERRONET TtIONIPSON, Mr. GEORGE THOMP• M iDDLES EX ELECTION. (THIS _DAY.) NOMINATION OF IHE CANDIDATES. The nomination of the candidates rho sought the honour of representing the county of. Middlesex in Par liament took place to-day at Brentford Butts, at ten o'clock. Ling before that hour the town of Brentford pre seeded a scene of grt at bustle and excite meat, such as was its wont in the good old times, when elections for counties lasted for numberless days, and tailors rode on horseback to Brentford at the risk of their necks, to give their vote for their favourite candidate. The friends of Lord Robert Grosvenor met his Lord ship at Kewbridge at a quarter befere nine o'clock, for the purpose of escorting him to the hustings; and Mr. Oshorne's -supporters also met him at Turuham green, at half pa,a eight. The scene around the hustings was exciting in the extreme. Flags and banters fly it in every dieectitin, and the supporters of each of the. candidates bearing their colours. Those of Lord Rob. rt Grosvenor were purple mei orenee; those of Col net Thomas Wood, blue and crimson; and those of Mr. Osborne were dark green. Sir Wm. Altilesworth, the chairmen of Mr. Osborne's committ e e, was on the hustings at an earl) boor, as were also Mr. Collins, M.l' for Warwick, alio Mr. George Thompson, M.P. ter the Tower fiend. re. On tie hust ines we also noticed Mr. Pownell,and Mr. Wakley, AI.P. fur Fetshury. The appearance of Sir W. Molesworth, Mr. Wilk! y, and Mr. Osborhe on the hu• wigs, was hailed with heel cheers.

In Xn :,:erM.it tee tat cam, thy as 403 tors W 9 Itltnatt/d lii' the Levant Mail, ae have received Constan tinople journals to the 17th ult., and Athens journals to the 20th ult., both inclusively. The Journal de Constantinople of the 17th states that nothing had yet been decided by the Divan relative to the letter from M. COLETTI, the Greek Minister, but that Cabinet Councils were being held daily on the subject. It is evident from this delay that M. COLIETTI . B letter was nut of so satisfactory a character to the Turkish Go vernment as was at first reported. The 111 oniteur Grec of the 20th, in a reply to some articles in a Greek opposition journal, in which M. COLETTI was stated to have made the most humiliating concessions, almost declares that he has, on the contrary, made important rs.ervations. The general news in both the Constantinople and Gret k journal.; is nut of much interest. SON, Mr. FEARGUS O . CONNOR, and Mr. W. J. Fox. Like "TOMMY DU COMBS," as Mr. \VARLET calls him, they will prove them-elves the popular tribunes in Parliament ; and it is certain that they will mate rially enhance the numerical strength of the Ministerial division upon every measure calculated to remove ob solete ahu-es, and ameliorate the condition of the un represented artisans. The ranks of the Government itself are swelling with almost every additional election ; and those ranks are comp )sed of new recruits and of veteran Members. We may classi'y as in the former divi sion the lion. Gentleman the Me.nher tor Glas gow, Mr. MACGREGOR, and in the latter divi n the Right Hon Gentleman the repreen tative of the northern division of Hampshire, the Speaker of the House of Commons. In such men as Mr. MACGRECOR the Government has a peculiar accession of strength ; for the ataliiies which have been evinced and matured in the subor dinate offices of the State are thereby called into double operation, first, through the de ' pertinent to which they had been previously restricted, and, secondly, through the division lists of the Lower Chamber of Parliament. In such men, again, as the Right Hon. CHARLES SHAW LEFEvaE, the Administration has the best guarantee for its con tinued existence. It must be acknowledged, how ever, that the Right Hon. the Speaker of the House is rathsr the exception than the rule. Few public cha racters have preserved, during the changes of events and the vicissitudes of parties, the honourable and unsullied reputation for which the Right Hon. CHARLES SHAW LEFEYRE is remarkable. Few men have concentrated in themselves so many amiable characteristics and natural endowments as that Right Hon. Gentleman. It was a deserved tribute to his distinguished career that the sword of knighthood was slung from his loins and the spurs bound to his heels, without a dissentient voice, in the county hall at Winchester. A Constantinople letter of the 16th states that ne gotiutions are about to be opened between Russia and the l'otte, for the cession to the former of two little Pachalics of Diavakihi and Narinutn in Georgia, and which are in the midst of the Muscovite possessions. A letter from 11._.m- of July 26 announces that the city was tranquil. l'he evening belore, Cardinal FERErn, having visited the posts of the National Guird, had addressed to each battalion a few spirited words which gave great satisfaction. In one quarter the Cardinal said to the men composing the post t us show to Europe that we can protect our selves!" These words were much spoken of, and thousands of papers containing the expressions were printed privately, and distributed amongst the people. The Bulletin of Law• ot Hanover, of the 28th, publishes a decree of the KING, announcing to the public the decision of the Germanic Diet of August 6, 1846, declaring all the members of Comrnu►,ist Associations guilty of high treason, and ordering their punishment for that offence. The Prussian G,vernment has consulted all the universities of the kingdom upon the question whether any inconvenience can arise from the appointment ot Jews to professorships at the universities. That of Berlin has expressed an opinion in the affirmative. Intelligence has been rei:e.ved from Lisbon to the 29th ult. by the Jupiter, which has just arrived at Southampton. he intervention having secured the Ctieen of PORTUGAL on her throne, she has, wi.h characteris tic perfidy, purposely neglected to perform the con ditions on which the intervention was undertakers, and laughed at the remonstrances of the British Am bassador against this flagrant breach of faith. She for a long time refused to take any steps to form a new Ministry, but at length she empowered Count LAY ADtO to do so. The Count, however, could not prevail on any one to take office except FONSECA MAGELHAES, and he has been objected to by the QUEEN. It is now four weeks since the surrender of Oporto, and no decree has been issued restoring the liberty of the press, or the liberty of the subject, or convoking the Cortes. COSTA CAsRAL has been re called from Madrid, and his party have committed the most horrible outrages in the provinces. They have already committed fourteen murders. Sir Wat.z.rAst PARKER has discovered, and frustrated a Cabralista conspiracy for the murder of SA DA BANDEIRA and DAS ANTAS. The army is in arrears of pay, and h discontented. SALDANHA was to arrive in Lisbon on the 30th, and it was expected that his entry would be the signal for an outbreak. l'he Queersite volunteers in Algarve have bee❑ per petrating the most horrible massacres. Amongst other victims was a respectable old priest, named Burolutes, who was stabbed through the heart with a ba3onet while on his way to church. About a week since a statement appeared, to the effect that six young gentlemen had, for offences of the most trivial character, been subjected to the bru talizing and degrading punishment of the cat, at the College of Stonyhurst, and that the sufferers were not of very juvenile years, but that they were ac tually verging on manhood, and had long passed that period of existence when personal chastisement of any description is usually administered. This ac count appeared almost incredible. It was scarcely possible to suppose that sueh a transaction could pos sibly have occurred in England in the nineteenth century. That a practice that had so justly been denounced in the Legislature, that had, by the clearest and most convincing medical testimony, been proved to be in the highest degree injurious to health, and too frequently fatal to life itself, about which the public feeling had been so strongly excited and unequivocally expressed, that a prompt and ready subniission to the universal demand by the military authorities was rendered necessary, and the abominable custom practically abolished, despite the earnest p °tests of many zealous sticklers for the abuses of bygone days, who declared that th e neces sary disciplin e co u ld not otherwise be maintained in our army—should still be sanctioned and resorted to in a semin,iry for public instruction, by educated and enlightemed men, was indeed hard to believe. Any doubt or difficulty Inuit, however, he set at rest by a kiter which this day appears in our columns from one of the victims. The nature of the trifling offence with which he was charged, the disgusting character ' of the punishment, when up.vards ut thirty lashes of a cat o'-nine• tails were inflicted on his n eked back by the brawny prefect, are detailed with the utmost siniOcitv and verisimilitude. It does not appear by w hat authority the sentence was pronounced ; whether it was decided on at any meeting. of the masters, or inflicted by Mr. Speaxstasi, ex mere mota. That person must, however, be legally and morally responsible for the consequences of his act ; and it any of the six victims should decide on bringing him to a further account, he may find that he has subjected himself to grave and serious penalty for his conduct. The highest authority that can possibly be claimed by the master of any school is that of a father. He may, to a certain extent, be lloked upon as in loco parenti.c, the actual parent having delegated to rim the authority he possessed for the time being. Ile is justifitd, therefore, in maintaining a fitting disci pline, but cannot with impunity have recourse to acts of unnecessary severity or violence. Any abuse ut his power at once subjects him to the severest censure of the law. During the present assizes a schoolmaster was convicted of an assault upon one of his scholars, a lad of fourteen or fifteen years of ace, who had cast water from one of the windows on a schoolfellow, and been caned outside his clothes, therefor, and but for the inter ference of the prosecutor the master would have suffered a weighty punishwent. The Learned Ju lge who presided at the trial clearly explained the law, and showed how unwarrantable was the corduct of the reverend defendant. Surely his conduct cannot for a moment be compared with that of the Stony hurst official, la ho, without trial or investigation of any kind—without giving the accused parties an op portunity of defending themselves from the charges brought against them—compelled them to strip naked, ' and flogged them on the bare backs with so atrocious and cruel an instrument as that made use of on .the occasion. Nladri 1 pipers of the 28th ult. have arrived. There appears to be nu , little chance of the loan of 100,000,000 teals being effenteal. There was rumour of the discovery of a conspiracy to dethrone the QUEEN and to murder General SERRANO, but it did not obtain credence, more Pspeetally at it was coupled with an absurd report of a inarrive between the Count DE AIONTEMOLIS and a daughter of the Duke of CAMBRIDGE.

In the literary, or rather entice], department of this periodical, the most prominent feature for Au gust is the elaborate notice of the Exhibition of Paintings at Westminster Hall. While reviewers in a generous spirit ot commendation, o f all those produc tions which are not absolutely vile either in concep tion or execution, we observe that the Art Union Journal coincides with ourselves in awarding the highest prase to the large historical pictures, No. 11 and No. 28 There can be no question whatever that Mr. G. F. Watts and Mr. Paul Falconer Poole, have amongst all the competitors evinced the highest order of merit in the highest order of art. In concep tion, in drawing, and in grouping, Mr. Watts has the priority of Mr. Poole ; but Mr. Poole excels not only Mr. Watts, but every one of the painters who have contributed to the exhibition in regard to colour, to grace, to diversity, to elevated feeling, and to the zen ler evinces of suffering and sympathising huma nity. The " Fairy Tale," Mrs. S. C. Hall, is con• tinned with unktim ed spirit, though the embellish inents are scarcely so meritorious or fanciful. Many years ago the habit of flogging at school was all but universal. Those who undertook to in s.ruct the rising generation by milder mean , formed but a small minority. Gradually a bettor princi p l e was i ntroduced, and it was di- covered that as much information, and as sound an educ•ation could be obtained, without the cruelties of the former system, and that it was far better in every r, apect for the pupils, and we believe we are ju-tified in say lug that the seminaries where p ersona l chastise ment is still retained now form the excepti on an d not the rule. But why should it,.or.the equally iniquit ous habit of fagging be still tolerated? The Legislature have repeatedly interfered in matters of far less con sequence than those to which we have alluded. The law, however, Rs it stands, if put into torce in every case of abuse, is sufficiently poweriul to do away with the firmer; hut the persons chir-fly interested, are too often unwilling to take the necessary steps to bring the offenders to justice. The force of public opinion, if fully aroused on the question, would be far more efficacious in bringing the birch-loving pedagogues to their senses, and deterring them from than . any the gratification of their flagellating propensities, q ri u d es o t f ion of fagging is, legislation could possibly be.

He rt collected t•ther, but he had t e acdro sa witch he isAued on a fermer ec casion in his pocket and could refrr to it, and he %omit!, if they would allow h.m, refer to.. that, in order to show that he was not guilty oi the crimue which had been alleged against him. Now, with respect to the corn-laws, he stated on the hustings in July, 1841, and he would read it trim the Times newspaper report of the proceedings there, that "It had long been his opinion that, when a proper op portunity came, a very considerable reduction ought to be made in the scale of duties which iegulated the I:erte ttuetien of foreign corn, and he thought so because when those duties were first impo-ed corn was considerably lower in price. They were afterwards altered to co. - ciliate the landed interest to a greater immure, but it must be remembered that since that period there hail been a great increase in the prosperiiy of the country." At that time he issued an address, from ehieh he would read, if they would allow him, an extract with respect to the question of the corn-laws ( (leer, hear ) He teat• d in that address, that •' The measures relating to our cornmeicial se stein, wlecto have been so lately nittoduced by the Government, re quire the most deliberate and calm consideration. I'he main principle et the corn-law of 1828, as announced by its original promoters, is that of eemprotuise beta etei extreme opinions, and I Perceive ihat an adherence to this principle ought to guide our futute legislation on this steject. It the present law be not an Equitable arrangement for gall interests, or if circumstances require a re-aejestment of its details, I shall endeavour to approach the consideration of them with a mind unbiassed with partial views. Wien they were visited with that dire catatuity in Ire• land did they mean to say that it was not th• n necessary to bring an unbiassed mind to the Lull consideration ot the whole subject? Was it not then necessary to re, lieve the industry of the country, and to afford the means of supplying the wants of the country by the only resource lett, viz, bt the repeal of the corn laws?" lie would not have alluded to this subject had it toot been that he was chargtd with having violated bus pledges on this subject.—(Cheers and hisses) He would then ask them whether he had nut also been true to his pledges with respect to the Established Church? H e highly approved of the principle of Sir R Peel, and of his measures with relation to the Church of England. He thought that his plan of appropriating the surplus of collegiate centribuions, aid which were not necessary for their thaintenauce, in order to the increase ot small livings, and to suplying spiritual wants in destitute E laces, which he aid by a measure plit•aid in the year 1843, by the creation of 218 new livings in pieces where before the people were destitute of religious instructors, was of the greate.t advantage to the b. st interest. of the. Church of this country. — (Cheers.) Then, with respect to the interests of the working clteses, he had the pleasure of voting with Sir Hubert Peel for the reductiou of the duties on cotlee, sugar, timber, cheese, butter, lard, spirits, and for the abentien of all minor duties of Customs, which, instead of affording any revenue, only impeded the commerce of the country, to the amouet of 700 or 800 articles, the duties upon which had now been all swept away;—(Cht era.) He was induced, theretore. to ask whether this opposition really arose 'ruin the ing.eritede of the free traders? He never tx peped to receive feem them any confirmatieu of the course which he had adopted, but he did expect from the enlightened, the intelligent, the rductited, bud the work ing clas'es ot Middlesex a warm approval of the come , which he had adopted, and a tuil acquittal of the charge of puliti n cal apostacy.—(Cheers and hisses.) With respect to the operation ot these measures, the past year had not been at all a prosperous year, and he could net find words to express bis sense of the happiness with which he had witnessed the Christian resignation of the people under their sufferings and destitution. But why bad this been so? Because the people had seen that the distress came not from the hand of man but by the visitation of Providence.—(Cheers.) He would not nee. hot her them with questions of finance; that subject had been better and more fully explained than he et,u.d ex plain it by the great orgaes of pubic opinion —the press. He had now no new principles to profess, he came net there attired in the garb of Liberaliern. ' He came there to maintain inviolable the attachment to a limited monarehy, to the Established Church—(A votce—" And to the cat")- e -to the hereditary pi erage.—(Cheers and hisses.)

That Noble Loud said, in his address to the electors of Stroud, in 1839, that a new Reform Bill, whether the suffrage were house bold or universal, would do nothing towards the cure of evils, which belong to a populous country, and vary ing employment. • But the excitement of a new change, the passions again raieed, the House ot Commons again in the furnace to be welted in a new mould, the pe o pl e. again in the temper which buret.ouL iti• &MOS- *WNW. tsuglaina end arnitol, would- go tax *Wm thil stabilisy Li I-OLLET. - As a miscellany of the fashions, Le Folk is still without any competitor.

M. Grote, aith his strong sense of justice, and hi knowl. dge the true privet- Wes of peblic faith, would oppose all such schemes.

Accounts from the fair of Beaucaire state that there was less t.ctivity than at the corresponding period of last year, and that owing ito the recent high price of food. &r., there was not likely to be such a good business done. The scarcity of money lessens -still the demand for bills of exchange on the continental cities; and there was, consequently, an advance on the rates of yesterday afternoon. It also indisposes parties to receise corn beyond the exact amount of contracts already entered into, and thus some parties have sent hack by the at. tuner bills drawn upon them in America beyond the extent which was authorised, even though the produce is en route The amount of bills being presented for payment to day is not so large as in some months of the year, and it is hoped the payments will go off well.
