Bowring went out strongly imbued wish peAce•at-any-price principles, but found at length no other course was possible with the Chinese, ex cept that which he.was rtcently compelled to adopt. (Herr, hear.) Since the war broke out he (Mr. Holliday) had found his life was not safe if he ven tured to walk beyond the English residences in China. (Hear, hear.) Mr. GARNETT spoke in support of the motion. This had seemed to him all along a question on which every man who knew anything about Chins held but one opinion, while a great many who were utterly ignorant about China held-a very different opinion. (Applause and laughter.) The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. W. ENTWISTLE moved that a copy of the foregoing resolution be transmitted to Lord Palmer ston: He expressed his opinion that the vote which this association had just come to would be consi dered to have strengthened the hands of the Go vernment---(hear, hear)—while it had not been passed with any political purpose in view. (Ap plame ) Mr. J. PANDER Se(;indenlie motion, disclaiming, on the part of Manchester merchants, the right of any body of men to coalesce fox-the purpose Of dis honouring the British name. (Applause.) The resolution was unanimously agreed to, and the proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman, passed by Acclamation. BRISTOL. The determination of Lord Palmerston to appeal to the country in vindication of his general policy has been rf ceived here with great satisfaction. Ac- tine measures are being taken to secure the return of the present members (Messrs. H. Berkeley and H. (. Langton). The Opposition party here, which is of the same heterogeneous character as the recent majority, are neither united in action nor numerically strong, and will have some difficulty in selecting a candidate whose political professions would be sufficiently chameleon-like to secure any large amount of suffrages from the Opposition elec tor:. Messrs. Berkeley and Langton are expected to attend a public meeting to be held here on Tues day next. THE GENERAL ELECTION. REPRESENTATION OF MANCHESTER. Yesterday morning, a meeting took place at Newell's-buildin gs , Manchester, consisting of the Old Free-trade party. There was a furl attend ance, including Mr. George Wilson, in the chair, Mr. Henry, Mr. E. Potter, Mr. R. N. Philips, Mr. J. C. Dyer , Mr. W. Evans, Alderm an M ac ki e , and Councillor s Simpson, Fildes , and Goadsby. A. resolution was mo ve d by M r . A. Henry, and se conded by Mr. Alderman Mackie, expressing con fidence in the sitting members, the Right Hon. T. M. Gibson and Mr. John Bright, and requesting them again to stand for the borough. The.resolu don was adopted unanimously. It was further re solved that the gentlemen present form themselves into a committee to conduct the election, with power to add to their numbers. Mr. Wilson was appointed chairman' by acclamation ; Sir E. Ar mitage treasurer, and Mr. S. P. Robinson, secre tary. Much discussion took place respecting the recent vote in the House of Commons, and in ap proval of it, with only one dissentient voice. THE WEST RIDING AND WEST RIDING I BOROUGHS. LEEDS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON. The announcement of the intention of Ministers to appeal to the country has created an extraordi nary ferment here and the West Riding. All political parties are actively on the alert, and abundant speculations are afloat as to the local and Riding candidates. For the West Riding there is '577 doubt whatever that the representation of Mr. Cobden is at an end. The re-election of Mr. Beckett Denison, the present membtr, is on all hands predicted as certain. It has for some time been rumoured that in the event of a general elec ti.n either the Right Hon. M. T. Baines, Lord Goderich, or Sir John William Ramsden, would be elected along with Mr. Denison. The opinion now, however, seems to he that Sir 3. W. Rams den will contest the Riding, and that Lord Gode rich and Mr. Baines will keep to their present con stituencies, namely, Huddersfield and Leeds. At Huddersfield, it is doubtful whether any opposition will be offered to the re-election of the noble lord. But in Leeds a hard contest is antictpated. There is at present but little prospect., of a thorough union of parties, such as has existed at former contests. Sir George Goodman, who has long, owing to his feeble health, been unable to attend to his Parliamentary duties, re tires from the representation, and the difficulty is to find a generally-acceptable man to retu-n along with Mr. M. T. Baines. One section of the liberal party is pertinaciously putting forth the claims of Mr. W. E. Forst.r, a manufacturer of sJine note at Burley, near Otley. Another section of the same party is seeking to introduce Mr. Morley, of Lon don, chairman of the Religious Liberation Society; while a third division of the same party is seeking to promote a joint requisition to Mr. M. T. Baines, and Mr. Wtn. Becket-, (an influential local banker, and one of the present representatives of Ripon). Mr. Beckett, up to the period of the last general election, represented Leeds, his native town, in the Tory interest, but then retired in disgust, owing to the "shabby" treatment of some of his party, arising from his having embraced free-trade prin ciples. In the event of his return, the "pet" man of the old school in the borough would be set aside ; namely, Mr. Robert Hall, a barrister of the north ern circuit. What will become of all these compli cations it is impossiMe at present to predict with certainty ; but it Seems not at all improbable that the disunion ie the Liberal ranks, unless speedily healed, will lead to the loss of at least one Liberal seat in the House of Commons. We hear of no changes at present for Halifax or Bradford, though in the former town it is not improbable that Major Edwards, a Conservative, will once more ask the suffrages of the constituency. Pontefract will be the scene of a warm contest. The present members, Mr. M. Milnes and Mr. Oliveira, have declared their intention to offer themselves again ; but against the latter gentleman a strong opposition has been got up, and a very numerous and influential requi sition presented to Mr. Wood, a self-made man, and a native of the borough, to allow himself to be put iti nomination. He has accepted the invitation, and the probabilities are that he and Mr. Milnea will be returned. It is stated that Mr. Sandars (Conservative) will retire from Wakefield, and Mr. Leatham (Liberal), the defeated candidate at the last election, will be nominated. This, however, is at present doubtful. Should Mr. Beckett be come a candidate for Leeds, as so many of his Con servative and high Whig friends desire, there will be a vacancy for Ripon. The second representa tive of that city (the Hon. Edwin Lascelles) will no doubt be re-elected ; as also will Mr. Beckett if he does not prefer trying his fortune once more at Leeds. LEEDS, FRIDAY NIGHT This evening placards were posted in Leeds and other towns : Palmerston for the West Riding." The Halifax Liberals have resolved in public meeting to nominate Sir Charles Wood and Frank Crossley, present Liberal members. LORD PALMERSTON AND THE STOCK EXCHANGE. —A very numerously-signed requisition, from Lloyd's, was this afternoon presented by Messrs. Thornton and West, to Lord Palmerston, at Vie Treasury, wiliciting the noble Premier's permission to place him in nomination at the ensuing election of the City of London. A similar petition was at the same time handed in by Mr. Wilkinson, M,p , from the members of the Stock Exchange. His lordship, it is understood, declined the honour. Shipping Gazette of last night. NORWICH, MARCH 6.—No meetings have yet been held by either party in this city, and there appears to be some expect ttion in Norwich that a compromise will take place, and that the present members, Sir S.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER-FRIDAY, Some rather heavy accounts were settled upon the Liverpool Steeplechase, the settling upon which appears to go on satisfactorily. The announcement of the death of Mr. John Booth, of this city, who died about four o'clock on Thursday afternoon, created quite a sensation. His illness was of short duration. He was a much re -petted member of the Rooms, and by his death many heavy bets upon the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes, the Chester Cup, and the Derby have become void. The Northamptonshire Stakes seems to take precedence of all other forthcoming events as a betting race, Sir Colin and St. Giles being most in demand. 1,000 to 50 was taken about St. G les for the Chester Cup, and 40 to 1 would have been taken about Sir Colin. Odd Trick re ceived a little support for the Doncaster Handicap, at 7 to 1. For the Two Thousand Guinfas Stakes, 6to 1 was correctly offered on the Field-7 to 1 would have been taken about Vedette ; 100 to 7 was taken once about Lord of the Isles. CLOSING PRICES.

STATE OF PUBLIC OPINION. CITY OF LONDON. The Common Council will meet on Monday to express an ouitlios on the subject, which appe Ars to be engrossing the minds of people to an extraordi isary degree.

ADDRESS TO LORD PALMERSTON FROM THE MERCHANTS AND TRADERS OF LIVER POOL. Yesterd a y morn i ng a depu t a ti on , cons i s ti ng o f Messrs. Al ex . Sl e i gh Th om as Baines, and Alfred Higgins, fro m Liverpool, introduced by Mr. J. B. Horsfall, M. P., and Mr. J. O. Ewart, M.P., mem bers for the borough, waited upon Viscount Pal merston, at his residence, Cambridge House, to present an address of the leading bankers, merchants, shipowners, and broker, of that port, expressing their warm approbation of the conduct of his lord ship's Government on the Chinese question. Mr. Sleigh presented the address, calling his lordship's attention to the fact that it was signed by men of every shade of political charact er , and with an en thusiasm quite anprecedeuted. He thought his lordship had been unfairly and ungenerously treated by the coalition in Parlia men t ; and, after some further observations, real the address. His Lordship expressed himself much pleased with this mark of confidence, and, after a few re marks, the deputation withdrew. MEETING AT MANCHESTER. A meeting of the Manchester Commercial Asso ciation was convened a " t the B oar d- room, King street, yesterday morning, in consequence of the defeat of Ministers, to con s id er h ow far the inte rests of commerce with China are compromised by the existing state of affairs in that country." There was a more than usually numerous a tt en d ance _ about 100 of the leading foreign merchants and ma nufacturers being present—and the meeting had to be twice adjourned, first to one of the committee rooms in the Town-hall, and then to the Mayor's parlour, for increased room. Mr. J. A. Tu rner , president of the association, took the chair, and there were present—Mr. Malcolm Ross, the vice president ; Mr. Robt. Smith, China merchant ; Mr. R. J. Farbridge, do. ; Mr. H a llid ay, o f Halli day, Wise, and Co., China merchants ; Mr. T. A. Gibb, of London, China merchant ; Mr. Thomas Finlay, of Rawson and Co., China merchants ; Mr. Reiss, of Reiss Brothers, China merchants ; Mr. W. Entwisle, of Loyd, Entwisle, and Co., bankers; Mr. T. Cardwell, ef Cardwell and Pearson, India merchants ; Mr. William Cassel; of J. Peel and Co., India merchants ; Mr. Pierce, of Pierce and Co., India merchants ; Mr. John Pinder, China merchant; Mr. Richard Birle Y ; Mr. Samuel Schu ster, of Leo, S c h us t e r, an d B rothers ; Mr. Clayton, of Clayton and Gladstone ; Mr. Murray Gladstone ; Mr. La•liam, of Gladstone, Latham, and Co., India merchants ; Mr. D. R. Davis, of George Fraser, Son, and Co. ; Mr. Bradshaw, Of Bradshaw and Wanklyn ; Mr. Rhar, Mr. G. Balfour, Mr. W. R. Wood, Mr. Thomas Swanwick, Mr. James Chabot, Mr. Thorpe, &c. The CHAIRMAN said it was not his intention to make any lengthened observations, as he considered he had fulfilled his duty by having, as president of that association, called its members together, that they might have an opportunity of expressing an opinion on the present state of pudic affairs, espe cially as connected with our official relations in a foreign country. This was no political meeting ; they knew nothing of politics in that room. He was glad to see around him men—so far as heat all knew their opinions --.of almost every-shade of polities, and he was glad to-see on this occasion such an assemblage of merchants, manufacturers, and large traders as was seldom seen in the city of Manchester. It was a sign, at all events, that they had been r eady to respond to the invitation of the directors to say that they were not indifferent to the question at issue. The hon. member for the city of Manchester had taken upon himself to observe, in the course of his speech in the House of Commons the other day, that be had received no intimation of any particu lar interest felt in this question at Manchester, except that a mem or i a l h a d b een sen t t o him from a public meeting in that city on the subject. Now, what was that public meeting ? As he (Mr. Turner) understood, it was a gathering of friends of Mr. Urquhart, and of persons among whose names not bait-a-dozen could be found who were at all known as occupying a position in that city. (Hear, hear.) He saw a very different assembly before him to day, for here, as he had already said, was a most influential body of gentl emen . And, although it had been imputed to them by another hon. mem ber of the House of Commons that they were a set of selfish m erc h an t s —i n f act, h e believed theimpu tation had b-en applied to British merchants gene rally, that they were a se t o f s elfish individuals, who were utterly regardless of all consequences,. provided they s e r ve d th e i r own i n terests—he dowel that assertion altogether. The gentlemen whom he saw before him were not a set of selfish merchants, but a set of indignant men, who had seen, to use Lord Palmerston's expression, "a fortuitous con course of atoms" gathered together in one lobby, actuated by very questionable motives. Whatever they might say, he believed the parties to that com bination had gained very little credit, and did not much like the position in which they had placed themselves. He regarded this vote as a disaster, because he was satisfied the, as soon as it was known that the House of Commons did not support the Government on the meas ures o f their officials the effect would be most injurious throughout the E as t. Whether those measures were right or wrong be did not now inquire, since it was the duty of our G overnment at all events to support their subordinates abroad, or these last would not have courage to fulfil theirduty. (Hear.) This meeting was, therefore, not assembled in sup port of any particular G overnment, b ut i n support of our mercantile position in all parts of the world, on which he was satisfied a very bad effect had been produced by the recent vote. He knew not how the injury was to be repaired ; but, at all events, let that association do all they could to show the Government that they wished our servants abroad I to be supported in maintaining the firm and hon ourable position of this country wherever we had representatives. (Cheers.) Mr. W. R. WOOD moved the first resolution. He observed that, while this was not a meeting for any political purpose, neither was it a m ee ti ng t o try the conduct of Sir J. Bowring or Admiral Sey mour. He believed the conduct of such matters was best left in the hands of the Executive Govern ment. Ho did not therefore propose to follow the example of another assembly, which had. unfortu nately pronounced on the cond uc t of Sir J. Bow ring.days sh n old ha n d av e rsad the fiideneeand until th e l as t f ew country confidence, in the character arid judgment of Lord Palmerston and Lord Clarendon, relying th a t th e y would send out no instructions which were at vari ance with the interests and honour of England, or with what was due to the interests of justice and humanity. (Hear, hear.) He beli eve d t h e h on . member for the West Riding of Yorkshire had in this matter been perfectly consistent. He believed there was no doubt of the hon. gentleman having declared, on a former occasion, that from his earliest years he was most earnestly attached to what might he called the pri nc i p l es of peace, and that those measures in connection with which his name would be banded down w i t h glory to poste rity had baserto him matters o f very secondary attributei por an c e to . the honourable gent l eman fur one moment any desire, by the success of his motion, to take . a place on t h e Treasur y benches ; but in this respect he could not say quite so much for sonic of Mr. Cob lea's allies. He could not help . rec tiling the f ac t t h at dur i ng a great part of h s (Mr. W oo d' s ) political life the great Conservative party of th' s country had b een led by a man from whomi n . t was often his fate, at a humble distance, to differ in opinion, but who, as all who knew him, must feel, h a d ever at heart the honour and glory and interest of E ng l and ; an d if Sir R. Peel had now been the lead er o f th e oppo sition in the British Ho use of Commons he ven tured to express his belief that this vote would not have been arrived a`. But wh en the members o f that association considered th e conduct of others in that house, it was their duty in som e degree per hap's to look at home. He had heard with sur prise the observations, quoted by the chairman, of the right hon, ;amber for 11 .1u , noliester, which would not have been creditable even in a representative of the smallest and least important constituency in England, and he should have thought, if there had been in the House of Commons a man who had any knowledge of the feelings of Manchester, or to whom its reputation was clear, he would have risen at once to contradict that statement. The debate would be read with the deepest interest in all parts of the world, and it would go forth in the reports that Manchester, by the voice of its representative, had declared that opinion. He was bound to b lieve that what the right hon. gentleman had said he believed to be true, but the only conclusion at which he could arrive was that some pereons had been trying "to make a fool" of the right lion. gentleman, and they had succeeded in so doing. (Laughter.) He (Mr. Wood) toull truly say that, during what he could call his political life, extend ing over about 30 years, he never remembered a vote which appeared to him so calamitous as this one. He had alwaps felt and believed that: in those great commercial transactions which England carried on through all parts of the world, English property and English life were safe under the pro tection of the English Government, under the re spect due to and maintained by the British people, and under the homage invariably enforced for the British flag. Would that be the case h'reafter ? He had read two days ago some very interesting ac counts of a gross outrage which had taken place in Mexico. An armed force, under the orders of the revolutionary Government, attacked the British Consulate, demanding surrender of a large amount of property b e l ong in g to . a B r iti s h mercant Well known in Manchester. He believed there was 10,0001. of treasure at stake, and the consul acted as the representative o f England ought to do. He hoisted the flag of the Consulate, and refused to surrender the property until the armed force broke open his doors. That man did his duty, and for doing it perhaps he would find that be had been de nounced in the British House of Commons as a troublesome and meddlesome official. (Applause.) That association was not formed for any political purpose. The first words of its code of laws de clared it to be an association for the promotion an I protection of the trading interests of its members, and on that ground as well as—if he might be al lowed to say so—on far higher grounds, he asked the meeting to pass the resolution which he had now the honour to submit "That this association, composed of merchants and ma nufacturers deeply interested in trade and commerce with all quarters of the world, views with profound regret the probable consequences of Mr. Cobden's motion in the House of Commons on the 3d inst. " That without venturing to offer an opinion on the technical or legal merits of the question at issue, the asso ciation well knows that much difficulty and embarrass ment in our dealings with China have been caused by the aggressive spirit displayed by the native authorities, and by their systematic evasion of obligations imposed by treaty; and they cannot but regard with the greatest ap prehension the effects likely to ensue from the repudiation by our Legislature of the acts of our diplomatic, military, and naval representatives at Canton, not only in its bear ing upon our future commercial intercourse with China, but also as being calculated to diminish that respect hitherto entertained for the rights and liberties of British subjects in foreign countries generally." (Applause.) Mr. J. GARNETT suggested that in one respect the resolution required alterationto make it strictly accurate. The " repudiation" was not by " the Legislature," but by the House of Commons only. Mr. R. BIRLEY seconded the resolution—which was altered in accordance with Mr. Garnett's cor rection—but observed that while at first he had been quite ready to do so, on second thoughts he felt some reluctance, because he really could not conceive that any set of Englishmen could by pos sibility seriously mean to leave our representatives in foreign countries in the lurch. He believed that those who had been the means of repudiating the acts of our representatives in China would be compelled, if they were in office, to do precisely as Lord Palmerston had done. (Hear,) The whole previous acts of Lord Derby and his party showed it, and he had therefore no faith at all in that re pudiation, believing it to be a mere party move of the Conservatives to get into office. (Hear, hear.) (Mr. Birley, was, however, understood to second the motion.) Mr. M. Ross, in support of the motion, said he could not but regret, looking at the matter strictly as a commercialman, that our consuls and governors in any part of the world should incur a hosLile vole of the House of Commons , throwing on tiler shoulders the re s p ons ibilit y of acts in which they had exercised all the ability and judgment they possessed for the benefit of the people over whom they had control. (Hear.) Looking at the various quarters of the world in which we were mainly dependent on human sagacity and energy, we should be more and more convinced that we should strain every nerve to support our representatives abroad in carrying out the measures they might deem cal culated to promote the general interests. (Cheers.) Thera was no human being that had ever been placed in such positions but had had difficulties to overcome, and, instead of magnifying those diffi culties to the disadvantage of those men, we ought by every possible means endeavour to shield them from that clamour to which they would under any be exposed ; for there was no posi tion in which they could possibly be p`aced but we should find parties able and`willing—aye, only too ready to pick from the smallest hole the largest rent. (Applause.) It was with this feeling that. he had the most cordial sympathy with the parties who had been attacked in Parliament, mad believed that their condemnation only reflected discredit on those by whom it was carried. Look ing at the names of those who appease 1 in the di vision lists, and seeing the differences of opinion on almost every topic which were known to prevail among those who voted in the majority, it was im possible to come to any otherconclu , ion than that a factious opposition, a'md opposition personal to the head of the Government, had influence I the de cision. (Cheers.)" Allusion had with great pro priety been made to the spirited c induct of one of our consuls at Mexico. What course would that man not have been justified in taking, if he bad had the power, in order t o p rotect our honour and our property when they were attacked as had been described'? (Hear, hear.) Because in exercising that protection a few lives hid been sacrificed was that any reason why parties in the House of Com mons should make our representative a scapegoat for their political intrigue ? He confessed he was most indignant at the mode in which those who ought to have been supported had been treated in this matter. (Hear.) Nor was this the only in stance of such a course being pursued. When the conduct of SirJ. Brooke was arraigned in Parliament for what was called the massacre of . the Bornese pirates, who were the parties that wished to give a ticket of leave to those pirates but the same men who had instigated this opposition to our proceed ings at Canton ? (Cheers.) The mock philanthropy and mock humanity which dictated such proceed ings merited the just indignation of this commer chd community. It was impos-ible to believe at this moment the lives and property of our country men in China were safe. He did not allude to the reports of attempted poisoning, which ho hoped were greatly exaggerated ; but what could we rely upon when we beard of the governor of a province, in a country which Mr. Cobden claimed to be feel- ing the influence of 2,700 years of civiliation, offering a reward for every Englishman who should by fair or unfair means, be laid down at his feet ? We talked of the barbarity of uncivilised nations, and we had a member of our Legislature, a representative of a large community, lauding that as a civilised nation winch could descend to such acts of barbarity as this I (Cheers.) He, in common with most of his coun- . trymen, looked with pride and pleasure at the talents which were assembled in the House of Com mons, but he believed those talents in the late de bate had been prostituted to a bad purpose, and he hoped the result of a dissolution of Parliament would show to every representative of the British Government abroad that the mercantile community would use every exertion in their power to support them in protecting the lives and interests of Eng , lishmen. (Loud cheers.) Mr. GIBB, of London, having been invited to speak of his experience in China, where he said he bad for some years been a resident, though for the last 10 years he had not been in that country, said he should certainly desire to represent the charac ter of the British merchants in that part of the world in a more favourable light than it was re garded in the House of Commons. (Hear ' hear.) While they were in eternal di s p u t es w‘ th th e man darins and authorities, they were on the best terms, always, with the trading community, with the Hong merchants, and the native merchants of Shanghai. It had been alleged that the British merchants walle glad of these disturbances, to‘avoid payment of their just debt to the Chiuese. Now, the fact was that where the English merchant was indebted to a Chinaman it was an exceptional case. (Hell., hear, and laughter.) He did not think that at, present a single instance could be found in Canton of British merchants being in debt to the Canton merchants. On the contrary, the house with which he was connected were large creditors of the Chinese, and he believed that the debts would have been faithfully met, as the Chinese with whom they dealt were wittily honest men, but by 1857• 1856 3 9 2 6 9 2 '-2/z,-2,--.,.,.-- ZT« • . 7 / 2 ?:,-,__..,- . • NLWSiAPE}t • interest in opposition to ct Er.

The Lord Chancellor gave judgment this after noon on the appeal from the order of the Master of the Rolls in the case of " Ginger" and the other English shareholders. The Lord Chancellor dis carded all questions in the ca-e save what he con sidered to be the real and main point for discus sion—whether Mr. Ginger had become a member of the copartnership or was in any sense a contri butory to the duties or engagements of it. He did not think that it was at ail thrown upon a pur- chaser of shares to take any substantive motion in a court of equity, save as had been done here, to relieve himself from the responsibility of being a contributory ; he therefore looked upon the pro ceedings in the present case as if they had beenupon a bill filed by the purchaser f kr the purpose of hav ing his name erased from the share register-book and the assignment of shares annulled. His lord ship said that the whole question iu the case was narrowed to the consideration whether in point of fact Mr. Ginger had not been deceived and de frauded in the very essence of the transaction, by being led to suppose that he was buying one thing when in point of fact he was buying another. It appeared to him to he a clear case of fraud and conspiracy on the part of John and James Sadleir, and, therefore, Mr. Ginger having been defrauded by them, as the agents of the other shareholders, he could not be held to be a Contributory for the liabilities entailed upon them by the misconduct of those to whom they intrusted the management of their affairs. The order of the Rolls should there fore be affirmed, and with costs. The order of the Master of the Rolls was likewise affirmed pro forma. in the cases of Mr. Sterling and Mr. J. Bitch Ken nedy, with, a view to their being argued at once before the Court of Appeal, which it is understood will sit on Monday. riaval and Military lntell geace.
