Borough elections having proved so advantageous to the Liberal interests, by affording a triumphant majority to the Government candidates, the county elections have also proved, and are still proving, though in a lesser degree, beneficial to the Popular Party. Scarcely have the constituents in the Southern Divi sion of Lancashire given a decisive token of the cha racter of their commercial predilections, by return. ing the Hon. CHARLES PELHAM VILLIERS, when a yet more brilliant testimony of gratitude towards the advocates of free trade is given by the nomina tion of Mr. COBDEN himself for the representation of the West Riding of Yorkshire. That this distinguished patriot should receive such a magnificent guarantee of the confidence with which he is regarded by the community is but just and rational. Whether Mr. COBDEN will coincide with the enthusiasm which has dictated this movement among his admirers remains a question of considerable uncertainty. The circumstance cannot however, in the ab stract, influence either the cause with which the name of the Hon. Member for Stockport is for ever associated, or the electors of the West Riding of Yorkshire, prejudicially. Indeed, were we to adopt the Machiavellian system of putting Mr. COBDEN'S personal feelings altogether out of the question, we should assuredly ex.ult at an opportu nity so peculiarly favourable to the diffusion of the vivifying and luminous principles of which the famous League has been the principal promulgator. While the absurdity, if not the absolute atrocity, of the system of so-called protection to native industry is recognised by the population of continental Europe and the millions of the Western Hemisphere, it would be frivolous to deny that those, among our countrymen, who have been in any manner pledged to th e ma i ntenance or restoration of the re strictive duties a ga i nst the importation of foreign grain and foreign merchandise evince no tendency whatever to an alteration in their opinions. Their p re . possessions are rendered yet more illusory and more fas cinating by being invested with a certain degree of political fanaticism. Their prejudices are rendered more stubborn than ever in consequence of their re cent and ignominious discomfiture. In a way, the more obstinate supporter:, of protection are case-har dened in their ignorance. Their ideas upon political economy can only die away with their own generation. Another generation can never be inoculated with notions so preposterously obsolete, or so contrary to the revelati ons o f experience. That i s one consola tion i n the midst of the confirmed darkness of our Protectionist countrymen. Thank GOD ! moral blindness is n o a hereditary affl ic ti o n than physical blindness Tore Persuaded, therefore, we ar e , th a t th e con v is i • version of th e more gotted opp onents o f free dom to commerce a thingalmost hopeless, a and decidedl y chimerical, satisfied th a t it only we are eqaally oomzh i oh.p n iac -t e simple explanati on o f facts and trheelainrsess the ro enumeration of figur es t o remove theill scales of misap prehension from the eyes of the more disinterested and unbiassed agriculturi s t s . T he nomination, !fluently, of such men as th e Hon. Member- eo e n. s or Stockport and Wolverhampton for the representation r of populous shires cannot but tend to dispel the errors which have hitherto obscured the judgments of our intelligent farmers. They will thereby be brought into immediate communication with those who have imbibed the wisdom of free trade from the eloquence of RICHARD COBDEN. The collision between their a ncient mis concep ti ons , an d th e u nanswerable lo g i c of inthe the enemi es o f P rotect i on, must necessar il y resu l t elucidation of truths comprehensible to the meanest capacity. 1 Free trade is as irresistible as the ever of A.acß im • • it may be argu e d E„ i S- Give it but a spot upon which will be moved in wth candour, and the whole world unisonpeoia with its principles. There fore we are es and supporters of they I r i e o joiced that the colleagues tn. CHARLES PEeham YU' WEER had an opportuniftryor: address the constituency pporte the hustings of South Lancashire the colleagues and su and that rs of Coupgzi will -....----..................... .--..—...._ _... be afforded a similar opportunity, at the nomination for the West Riding of Yorkshire. It were a fitting accompaniment to the national testimonial already collected for presentation t o the latter gentleman to proffer him at the same moment the knighthood of a gigantic shire. That woull be a splendid consumma tion to the memorable travels of RICHARD COBDEN ; it would be -er Afetkotne of suitable,cordiality, after his enthusiastic reception in the courts and cities of France, Spain, Germany, and the Italian principali ties. It would Le a brilliant evidence, that if Europe can honour an Apostle of Civilisation, England can also honour a Patriot and a Benefactor. We have repeatedly directed the public attention to the suicidal policy adopted in Ireland during the pre paration for, and, in some instances, the progress of, the present elections in that country. Ultra-Tories, the most decided Conservatives, have been received without opposition ; nay, even with the approbation of the people; while the most approved and tried friends of liberal opinions, those who have served during a series of years with ability, fidelity, and zeal, are, with scarcely an exception, held up to public odium, and subjected to all the expense and, annoyances of a contest, and too often deserted by the constituencies, who should have felt honoured by the connexion. A difference on one question is considered an amply sufficient reason for a total oblivion of past services, and of the very many points on which there is an identity of feelings and sentiments. The late vener able patriot, the Liberator, who for so many years di rected the actions of his countrymen, would never have sanctioned so ridiculous a course, the only re sult of which must be a weakening of the popular party and an increase to the ranks of their most de cided opponents. A pamphlet of great power and ability has just appeared on this most important topic, entitled, "A Word in Season to the Liberal Electors of Ireland," by a Graduate of the Irish University, which should receive an attentive- perusal and the most serious consideration of every member of the class to whom it is addressed, before he shall finally decide on the manner in which he shall exercise his most importaht privilege "the elective franchise "—a privilege which may not again be conceded to him fur many years, and until after the questions of the deepest interest, the most vital importance to the welfare of his country, shall have been finally disposed of. He may bitterly lament the error into which he has been led by a feeling of temporary irritation, but the opportunity, once thrown away, can never be recalled. He nay find that the representative whom to-a- moment of pique he helped to return, may record his votes on every great question in opposition to his feelings and wishes, but he will only have himself to blame, and must remain, until a future election shall afford him an opportunity of retracing his footsteps, a political nonentity, or, even worse, a practical oppo nent of his country's rights. The talented writer of the address to which we have alluded has well exposed this absurdity. He says— "A political leader is not justified in directing all the energies of a people towards the attainment of an ob ject, either of doubtful possibility or remote success, in such a manner as to be injurious during the conti nuance of the struggle, and, in the event of failure, to leave them in a condition far worse than that in which they originally were, and incapable of any effort to redeem them selves. This is gambling with the interests of the country, and perhaps few higher tributes can be paid to the memory of O'CONNELL than that throughout his entire career, with many temptations to pursue it, he never was allured into this dangerous, though very popular policy. His uniform course seems to have been, while directing his efforts to one ultimate object, to take care that the means he employed should not be prejudicial to his country, and to neglect no intermediate advantages he could procure for her, but, on the contrary, seize every opportunity of acquiring them." Would that the present leaders of the Irish people—the children and friends of that illustrious patriot—were guided and influenced by similar sentiments ; then, indeed he would be spared the pain of witnessing Ireland's ingratitude to some of her most worthy children. The late rejection of the Roman Catholic Relief Bill brought ferward by Mr. WaTsoss, Q.C., a rejection chiefly to be attri buted to the unrelenting hostility of many Members of the Irish party, as it is termed, is well commented on. "An English barrister (says the writer) pro poses to erase from the statute-book certain obsolete laws, imposing pains and penalties on persona pro fessing the Roman Catholic religion. Those laws are obsolete, because the spirit of the age would not suffer their execution ; and education and enlight ment have shown the injustice and absurdity of them. By one of them, the man who conferred the blessings of temperance upon Ireland, and who has just been honoured with a pension from the Crown, is liable to transportation, yet members of the Irish party, who were all for Ireland, without distinction of po litics or religion, could not afford to let this humble priest walk independent of this law. The represen tatives of themetropolis, and the University of that country, fur whOse benefit they proposed to forget all distinctions, made common cause with their tolerant companions, and defeated the objects of this liberal stranger. They retained a power which they never can u.e. To quote the language of the Irish orator, they showed their teeth, but they were too loose to bite." And yet that liberal stranger— the man who sought to abolish these atrocious enact ments, and who earned golden opinions for himself during the period of his Parliamentary career—is to be opposed in the Irish borough for which he had been returned by a high Conservative. And if re jected it will be owing to the apathy, or, still worse, the hostility of those from whom he endeavoured to strike off the sole remaining shackles to elevate them to perfect religious freedom, and to remove every dis ability and stigma. The conduct of the Whig party of the present Liberal Government is shown to b e such, in every particular, as should have earned the warmest gratitude of the people. It is impossible to withhold your assent from the evidences thereof put forward by " the Graduate" in the most eloquent and energetic lan guage. His observations on the New Irish Poor law, by which " the present Government were bold and manly enough to go to the root of the evil," and which he designates as " the Bill of Rights of the Irish people," are deserving of the highest approba tion for the soundness of the views put forward. We deeply regret that our space does not at present opinions in t, ho c permit a further notice of this admir a bl e address. We n i cannot, how ever; to a p o s s ib l e , refrain f s r i o b m l e again quotin g h re opposition to the ls pi re-election of the Master of the Min Mint, an op p osition which was then only meditated, but which has actually since taken place. tie says_ "Suppose, for instance, that the electors of D gary should discard—tor some one who calls hiinselfaa alist, and who may be useful to make or na nation alist, house—the brilliant advocate of their liberty,ctiinf out a labourer and associate of their illustrious lead er, to whom they have not yet paid funeral honours, do er, to think they would advance their cause by such yott; He gave his youth and his eloquence to the greatac struggle with which his name is associated ; and as an Irish Catholic in the English Cabinet, he is, at once, a brilliant trophy of their vi c tor y , and a co nvincing proof that they deserved it. And if men desire rationally to spread the doctrine tbas Irishmen alone should legisl ate do on Irish matters, they _ hope to do so, at a time when three English Members do not agree with them, by forcing into a private station their countryman, who commands the admiration of the Senate, and reflects honour upon them ? I trust the constituents of this Right Hon. Gentle man, who are justly proud of their representative, will not strive to do themselves this dishonour. But those of you who are Repealers may object, that if you pur sue the course which I suggest, you will be praeically Whigs. Yes ; but if you du not you will be practically Tories. You cannot prevent yourselves from sustaining one or the other."

" Accounts from the interior of Russia confirm the reports of the defeats sustained by the Russians in the Caucasus. At the assault of Gerbegil, the Ru=sians had 1 7GO killed and wounded, of whom 83 w( re officers. On the return. a detachment of Colonel Jewdokin , ff's corps tell into an ambuscade of Lesghiens, and lost five officers and 140 men. Soon otter the retreat of the Russians, numerous detachments of Tschetscheozes and Lesghiens appeared in the Koissu and the Silak, threa tening the Russian line, and spreading tenor and devas tation among the tribes which are friendly to the inva ders. Since these successes the name of Schamyl is held in still higher honour than ever. The whole of Tsehetschna is in motion, and it appears that Schamyl is meditating a still more important- enterprise against the Rusnians. Prince Woronzow - was making preparations for not only repelling the enemy, but also to renew the siege of Ger gebil. Every sacrifice will be made to destroy the place, and remove the impression which the retreat of the Russians has produced among the neutral tribes. But, as the cholera is making great ravages, it will be hardly possible to undertake any important expedition. On the right wing, the Übisches and the Tschigetcs had several times assaulted the forts of Gagra and Pitzinka. It is said that the first has fallen into their hands. In consequence, the Commander- in- Chief has reinforced the right wing. The marching of troops from the interior has been suspended on account of the cholera." • THAMES.—(THIS DAY.) In The Sun of -Thursday a case was reported from this Court, in which Reed, a constable of the II division, No. 199, charged a girl named Mary Ann Parkins with being drunk and fighting in the streets. The charge was disproved, and the girl dis misse d. S he, however, made a r counter charge a ga i nst t h e constable, which, it will um e embered, the M ag i strate directed should be serious thoroughly investigated. As Mr. Ballantine .was leaving the bench yesterday, Inspector Scott hitided :kiln his report, the result of which was that this 'morning. the inspector was directed (no charge having•been laid in a formal way before the Magistrate) to procred to Scotland-yard and lay the affair before the Commissioners. The result of the in spector's inquiry fully confirms the report in The Sun of Thursday. It appears that a similar charge was preferred against this very constable about a tw e l vemont h since. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) Thomas Freeman was charged with stealing a watch from the house of John Forrest. The prosecutor's daughter •tared that the watch was hanging over the mantel-shelf in the parlour, and she left the room for the purpose of going up stairs, the hall door being open at the time, when the prisoner, whom .he had observed lurking about the premises for nearly two hours, and whOm she saw look through a window from which he could see the watch, rushed in and snatched the watch from where it was hanging, cud ran away as fast as he could. The prosecutor having described the watch, Mr. Allen, the landloid of the Prince of %Val , s, Barnsbury-park, Islington, stated that the prisoner came into his house in about half an hour after the rubbery had been com witted, and exhibited a watch which corresponded in every respect with that described by the prosecutor. The policeman said he was unable to trace the watch as yet, and in consequence the prisoner was remanded. We read in a letter from Berlin of the Ist inst.— " Within the last few days the witnesses have arrived who will be heard in the case of the Polish insurrection, the trial of which will "commence to-morrow morning. These witnesses are about eleven hundred in number, and all have been brought to Berlin at the expense of the Government, either by the railways or other public conveyances. Immediately on their arrival in our capital they went to the office expressly established, to make known their names and their residence at Berlin, and there they were repaid the cost of their maintenance during the journey, such cost being daermined according to their respective social positions. For the last class of witnesses, composed of simple peasants, workmen, day labourers, domestics, &c., the allow ance was fixed at 20 silver gros (2f. 40c.) per day, The greatest part of the witnesses belong' to the rural districts of the Grand Duchy of Posen, of Silesia, and of Western Prussia. They never before left their villages, tied only know how to speak their Polish, Silesian, and other dialects. They find themselves entirely displaced in our capital, in which they do not cease to excite the curiosity of the public by their costume. 4, language, and manners. The Government has caused new linen and clothing to be given to all the indigent prisoners who will figure in the trial, in order that they may present themselves decently before justice. It has also caused them to receive medical attention. During the whole of their stay in the Pennsylvanian prison they have been made to take baths every week, and the food iziven to them has been both good and abundant. The wealthy pri soners have lived with princely luxury, and all have taken measures to be dressed with the greatest elegance dur ing the trial, which will last three months at least. M. Louis de Miroslawski, one of the chiefs of the insurrec tion, had the intention of defending himself, and to do it in the French language ; but, on the advice of his friends, he has abandoned this project, and has just made choice of a young and clever advocate, Doctor Meyer, of Berlin." A letter from Stutgard states that the second and and last portion" of the loan of eleven millions of thalers (forty-four millions of francs), at four and-a half per cent. interest, which the Chambers authorised the Government of Wurtemberg to contract, and which amounts to six millions of thalers, has been negotiated with the houses of ROTHSCHILD, of Frank fort, and of FEDDERS, BENEDICT, and STAHL, Of Stutgard, at the rate-of 98 per 100. Madrid journals of the 31st ult. have arrived. The QUEEN, accompanied by Generals SERRANO, Ros DE OLANO, DOMINGUEZ, and other distinguished persons, left La Granja on the 29th for Biofrio. Her MAJESTY will return to La Granja shortly, when the POPE'S Nuncio, Monsignor BRUNELLI, will be so lemnly presented. The Duke of GLUCKSEURG, the French Ambassador, has left Madrid for La Granja. An action took place in Catalonia on the 23dbe tween the QUEEN'S troops and the Carlist bands of MARSHAL, HERRERO, and others. Several Carlist were captured. MADRID BOLSI, JULY 31.—The Three per Cents. were dune at 26} for cash ; the Five per 0-tits. at 17A; the Debt without Interest at 54; and the Coupons at - 14}. . We have received the Paris Papers of Thur s d a y. On Wednesday Baron CUARLES DUPIN laid on tho table of the Chamhpr PPPTIA the report on the Bill for granting an extraordinary supply for the ser vice of Algeria. A resume of this report is published in the Journal des Debats, from which it appears that the port and fortifications of Algiers have been greatly improved by norks, which have tripled the extent of Algiers, and have substituted for the an cient fortifications . a continuous wall two miles long, protected by bastions. The improvement of the port of Algiers occupies a prominent part in the report. In place of a small harbour, covering a superficies of from ten to twelve acres, which was sufficient for the Algerine corsairs, the jetty constructed by the French engineers affords an anchorage ground extending over fifty acres, _and Which, when completed, will enclose 250 acres, sufficient for the purposes of a considerable fleet. Oran and the great port of Mers-el-Kebir are then described. Next are mentioned the number of roads opened and bridges constructed, tOge:her with the lighthouses and tele graphs erected. The report states that twelve years since there were but 11,000 colonists in Algeria. There are now •110,t'00. Of these 17,000 are armed as militiamen. By these means, should the entire regular army be engaged in campaign, Algiers can protect itself by its national guard. The report ob serves, that during the first *years of the French oc cupation the colony resembled Rome before the rape of the Sabine women. There were scarcely any Eu ropean women or children there. At present the European population numbers twenty-five thousand woman and forty-two thousand children. The re port • concludes by stating, that of the children of the Algerine - population, 4,000 males and females, in equal proportions, are educated .in schools established by the French authorities. The Sisters of Charity have, moreover, established a dispensary at Constan tine, where they distribute, gratis, medicines to the indigent Arabs. They even dress the wounds of the poor natives. Their reputation for benevolence has extended to the confines of the desert, and the dis tressed Arabs come a long distance to implore their aid. The Sisters of Charity afford relief, on an average, to 100 a day, or more than 36,000 a year. The report recommends that the supply demanded by the Government be granted. The Chamber of Peers voted the budget of expen diture on Wednesday by a majority of 105 to 13. M. ryas, a Conservative, has .resigned the office he held of Councillor and Secretary-General of the department of •the Haute Loire, because " shameless nepotism, corruption ; venality, rapine, are every where ; the public fortune is abandoned to shameless waste, and the consideration and honour of the coun try are degraded-in the most deplorable manner." The Presse says that every effort was made to pre vent M. TUJA from resigning his office. Senor OLOZAGA and Mr. HENRY SOUTHERN, the Secretary to the English Legation at Lisbon, passed through Bayonne, en route for London, on the 2d instant. The Gernian Journal of Frankfort has the follow ing from Berlin, dated the 28th ult. :—" M. GuizoT lately called the attention of the Prussian Minister for Foreign Affairs to a Polish lady, who, in the in terest of the Polish propaganda, intended to pro ceed from Paris to Berlin to communicate with one of the Poles about to be tried. The Minister for warded this informatiop to the tribunal, and it was ascertained that M. GrJIzoT really keeps a vigilant eye upon the Poles in Paris. The lady did arrive in Berlin, and went to the prison to speak to the Pole in question, but she was refused admittance, and there fore returned immediately to Paris." The Constitutionnel, after quoting the above from the German journal, remarks — If this is a fact it will greatly increase the esteem with which our Ministry is regarded, and which it merits so well. The narrative of the Journal of Frankfort is too precise to admit of any doubt of the Cabinet having given this new proof of its title to that consideration which no one refuses to it.

The quantity of bullion drawn from the Bank, the increasing demand for discounts, and the necessity of using some amount of the unemployed notes, was sufficient to excite the vigilance of the Bank directors, and the return made up to last evening will, no doubt, show the further action of the same causes. The exchanges yesterday were a shade better, the demand for bills being limited by the want of money.

TheLnonlination of candidates for the honour of re presenting the freeholders of the Isle of Wight, took place at the Guildhall, Newport, at eleven o'clock this day. The friends or Mr. Fleming. the good old Tory candidate, came in by the Shide road, a goodly muster of 30/. renters and faggot freeholders. The friends of Mr. Simeon formed at the Bugle Inn. The Hon. W. A. i-Court Holmes proposed Mr. John Simeon; the lion. A. Moreton seconded him. William Sloane Stanley, Esq., of Paultons, near Southampton an over'nman, pro posed Thomas. Willis Fleming, Esq. ; Mr. Eoward Way seconded this nomination. The show of hands was in favour - of' Mr. Simeon. Charles Stokes, Esq. demanded a poll for Mr, Fleming, which will take place on Mon day-and Tueiday next. The people of our good town are anything but in a good humour with each other. NEWPORT ISLE OF WIGHT, BOROUGH ELECTION. RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE. —The Tories carried their men by the No Popery" cry, many of the Dissenters supporting them, and others refusing to vote for parties favourable to the Maynooth grant. This uncharitable and anti-Christian feeling gave the Tories a majority of votes, and has caused serious 111-feeling among the Libe ral. ; every other consideration wa,, stink. The (bear loaf, so much complained of—and free trade, considered so desirable—were throw❑ overboard, and the supporter of protection was placed at the head of the poll by the as sistance of free traders. The second act will commend• on Monday next, by which time, we hope, these mad men will have come to their senses. PERILS OF REPORTERS.—An accident, which might have terminated fatally, occurred this evening to the reporter of the Morning Herald, in his anxiety to f r ward his report of the county norr ination this day. He took a boat to catch the steamers, but in getting on board he missed his hold, and fell overboard. Fortu nately he caught a stray line and was by it hauled on board the steamer.

The cereineny of parading the troops for guard mounting during the day was taking place when the Prince Louis Napoleon and Prince Jerome arrived, and they remained to witness the large detachment for duty in the Royal Arsenal march from the garrison to that depot, headed by the band of the regiment. The visitors then proceeded to the Royal Military Repository grounds, and occupied upwards of an hour in witnessing the models of tortificattons in various quarters of the world, the Royal Dockyards in this country, and almost every description of British and foreign arms used since the introduction of warlike instruments for aggression, or the protection of countries from hostile invaders. shortly after eleven o'clock the Royal Horse Artillery, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel St rangways, the right troop under Captain Warde, the centre troop under Captain Lake. and the left troop under Captain Grant, with Captain and Adjutant Gilbert, assembled on the common, and the Princes on their arrival on the common rode down the front and up the rear of the troops, and afterwards witnessed them march past and at trot and full gallop, which they did with great precision. They then went through the evolu tions of a field-day with excellent effect. At half past twelve o'clock the visitors proceeded to the Royal Horse Artillery square in the Garrison, and witnessed the accommodation for the men and horses of that branch of the service. A very great improvement has recently been made in the square, which will afford a greater degree of room for the horses should an additional num ber be required. This has been effected by the con struction of spacious balconies, with commodious and easy ascents, from the north and south sides of the square to the rooms of the men, and dispensing with the numerous staircases which were formerly inside the buildings betwixt each stable. From the Royal Horse Artillery-square the Prince proceeded to the mess-room of the Royal Artillery, where an elegant deieuxer was laid out for the visitors, the band of the regiment play ing " Napoleon le Grand " on the arrival and depar ture of the Prince. At a quarter before two o'clock the Princes proceeded to the grand depot, and was conducted over it by Major-General J. Weteier Smith, C.B. O n arrival at the R o y a l Arsenal, the Prince was condu,ted over the foundry department by Lieutenant-Colonel Derides, C. 8., and witnessed all the operations in pro gress. The visit of the Princes. occupied until ten mi nutes to four o'clock p.m., when they thanked the offi cers who attended them, and returned to town.
