DUDLEY ELECTION.—At a MEETING of influential MEMBERS of the Borough of DUDLEY, held at the Old Town llsll this day, The Mayor, JOHN RkITAUD, Esq., in the Chair, the following letter from Sir Stafford Northcote, the late member for Dudley, to Wm. Haden, Esq., was read:— Pyner's ' Exeter, March 22, 1857 . „ My dear Sir—As you have expressed to me your strong opinion that my late constituents at Dudley have a right to a further ex planation of the circumstances of my retirement from the represen tation of that borough than I have given in my published address, and as you state that an Impression prevails among them that Lord • Ward's influence was not used to bring me to the resolution of quit _ ting It, I cannot object to tell you that at the time I decided upon offering myself as a candidate for Norih Devon I w s aware that Lord Ward objected to the vote I had given on the China question, that he was no longer able to offer me the same support as he had previously done at Dudley, and that he hoped I should not offer myself there again, as he understood that my vote was as unpalat , • able to the constituency as to himself. It is due to Lord Ward to add that at the time he communicated with me on this subject, he knew that it was 'probable I stioutel bo ~e ked to stand for North Devon in the event of avacancy occurring. Yours very faithfully, STAFFORD H. NORTIICOTE. W. 'Haden, Esq. The following extract of a letter from Sir Stafford Northcote to William Itobi”son, Esq., was also read, in which, alluding to the electors of Dudley, he states—" I do not wish to be thought un • grateful for all their kindness. Had my choice been free I never should have quitted them." It was then moved by W. HADEN, Esq. ; seconded by W. Roam- Cox, Esq and resolved, with a very few dissentients: That this meeting, from the information received yesterday after noon, expressed its regret at the conduct of Lord Ward towards our late respected member, Fir Stafford H. Northcote. lb was then moved by Isaac BADGER, Esq., and seconded by Jons BADDARD, Esq : That in consequence of the election taking place on Saturday next, this meeting feels no other means of expressing its feeling, or of asserting its independence, than by giving its support to Mr. H.

BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY has ever since its Introduction to the public been recognised , both by scient men and the trade, as the best article ever manufactured in this country. Its 'claims to such pre-eminence are based upon its unri valled purity, and its closer assimilation than any other to the flavour of the finest Champagne Brandy. There has been no Brandy made from wine in France, either in the present year or in the preceding one. Owing to the successive failures in their vintages, the French wine grower gets a higher price for his wine. cnnsnmed as such, than he can realise by its being distilled into Brandy ; and forasmuch as the foreign Brandy of recent impor tations is hut the product of British grain and beetroot spirits, the Prestige hitherto exclusively enjoyed by French Brandy as having been distilled from a particular French wine no longer exists, and is no longer worthily assignable to it now that it is bunglingly made from other materials. The supply of wine for distillation into Brandy having failed, the French dist i ller is constrained to recur to a manu facture in which be needs the quarter of a century's experience which has been exercised upon that of BE rTS'S PATENT BRANDY, to render his article ri spectably competitive, and he has lot had it. Under these circumstances the Messrs. Betts challenge that their PATENT BRANDY is superior to any now made abroad. It is to the interest of the public and the Messrs Betts that these facts should bo widely spread, for recent importations are of a quality so inferior as to di-grace the name they bear, and are twice the price of BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY, which is supplied by the trade, in capsuled bottles, to private families in any quan tity, down to the single bottle.

[A summary of the following appeared in The Sun of yesterday - SdIITHAMPTON, TUESDAY. The Royal Ma'l Company's steamer Tamar, Cap tain Jellicoe, arriv e d h ere this morning, with the Brazilian and River Plato mails, in charge of Lieut. Irwin, R.N., Admiralty a g ent. Her dates were— Buenos Ayres, February 1• Monte Video, 5 ; Rio de Janeiro, 25 ; Bahia, March 1 ; Pernambuco, 3 ; St. Vincent, 11 ; Teneriffe - , 16 ; Madeira, 17 ; Lisbon, 20. The Tamar was detained for coals at St. Vincent, strong gales prevailing ; she experienced strong north-easterly gales from the line. This steamer biinga 35 passengers, and landed 34 at Lisbon. On fr-ight she has specie from Buenos Ayres, value 3,8001. ; from Rio, 1,0851. ; total, 4,8851. sterling ; diamonds, value 25,8001. ; and the cargo includes 100 barrels of tapioca, 14 serons of ipecactiaiiha, 25 bags of cocoa, 384 bags of cochineal, and 113 packages of sundries. From Buenos Ayres our advices state that the law respecting the differential duties had been modified by tli - e•authoritieS of the upper 'provinces now allowing vessels to discharge pal t their cargo nt Buenos and at Monte Video, and then proceed up the liver with the .remainder ; also considering Bahia; .Bianca, and Castillo as foreign ports, owing to which the effect of the measure on.,tlie. commerce of Buenos Ayres will be much loss serious than was anticipated. The Buenos Ayrean Governinent addressed a note to her Britannic Majesty's Acting Consul-General, apologising for their note of tbe 6th of January, 1853, to the Hon. Captain Gore, enclosing him his passport, and requesting that both the note and the passport might be con sidered as withdrawn. In consequence of this apo logy being accepted, the British flag was duly saluted at 1 p.m. on the Ist of February, which salute was returned by her Majesty's ship Harier. The money market had been very tight. Exchange opened at 725. cash on. London, and subsequently declined to 715., at which it was maintained until the thy of sailing of the Tamar, when some large amounts were done at 695. and a alma credit. Doubloons had gradually advanced from 331 to 3411 during tbe month. In freights for Engl.nd and the continent large transactions had taken place, but for other quarters a!limited business had been done. To England—Salted hides, 455. to 475. 6d. ; tallow, pipes, 50s. to 555. ,• boxes, 50s. ; tobacco, 40s. to 455. ; bales, 403. to 455. Our Buenos Ayrean correspondent writes as fol lows on the 31st of January : " We are reduced in politics to the lowest ebb. Ministers and admirals pass and repass to and from the Parana without deigning to take the least notice of us or speaking a civil word. "Admiral Johnston was here for a few days. No public—i. e., official notico was taken of his arrival, and we are not aware that he had any interview, public or private, with any member of the Govern ment—a great change from the palmy days when Mr. Southern was the confidential counsellor of Don Juan Manuel Rosas " Our internal parties are at daggers drawn with each other ; but there is a generaldetermination to allow Dr. Obligaclo to finish his legal term, and for tunately, the revolutionary mania is fast fall ng iu to disrepute. ‘.` Our commercial affairs are quite paralysed in view of the differential duties, aggravated by an immense overstock of goods that persons hardly know what to do with. Our situation is far from satisfactory as regards commercial interests and prospects. "in other respects the country is prosperous, and ought to be happy." From the Brazils we learn that it was believed_a new Ministry would be formed before the opening of the Chambers in May next. In the meantime there was nothing stirring in politics. Yellow fever prevailed at all the ports, and at Bahia and Rio, principally among the shipping, of a very malignant type. The Tamar lost two men by this epidemic. A letter from Rio, dated the 24tU ult., says :-- " Peace reigns all over the empire. "The works of the first section of the Dom Pedro 11. Railway are carried on with rapidity, and it is hoped that it will be opened to public traffic either in August or September. The "second section is already . marked out, and it crosses thi great aerra- which sepsrates tl. Paraiba Valley from the ocean currents. The plans will be ready in February. The Cordillera offers a maxi mum declivity of 1.55 in 12 miles distance—i.e., Eng lish miles, terminating in a tunnel of 1,950 feet ;, in the remaining part of it the declivities are not superior to 3.80. Te'n'ders have been called . for the construction of this section. Mr. Edward Price, we' believe, will not enter in competition with any one who may appear ; the directors, on their past, without any compromise for the first contract, give full liberty to all who may offer more advantages in such an undertaking. • " Since the sailing of the French packet Byzantia to Marseilles, by which we have duly remitted the commer cial information which ought to have been taken by this conveyance on the 15th inst., our markets have not pre sented much interest. Transactions have been made in exchange upon London for this mail (Tamar) at 27i to 27i 90 days' sight ; Paris, 348 90 days' sight ; and Hamburg, 657 90 days' sight. The total amount upon London is very important, and upon France and Ham burg of little consideration. "In freights little has been done, and we halie to notice scarcely any alteration in the quotations , per Byzantin. We have many ships, in port, especially American. "Coffee.—Since The sailing of the Byzantin prices have undergone no variation, and we quote—washed, 5,500 to 6,200 reis ; superior, 4.900 to 5,000; let good, 4,700 to 4,800 reis; Ist ord., 4,300 'to 4,500 reis. Stock about 100,000 bags. "Shares.—Brez 1 Bank, 107,000 reis ; Dom Pedro 2d Railway, par ; General Insurance, 50 reis premium. "Stock.—Six per Cents., 100 to 101 per cent. " Specie.—Sales of Spanish ounces have been effected at 29,800 each." The latest Bahia Price Curren* (Feb. 28) states that, owing principally to the heavy importations during the last month or two, the Custom House and landed warehouses were completely filled ; vessels bad been obliged to wait for weeks before they were admitted to discharge their cargoes, and great stagnation had taken place in the import market. The stocks of beef on hind amounted to about 40,000 arrobas, selling at 4,600 reis to 6,000 reis per arroba, according to quality. In butter no sales had been effected during the pre vious week, and quotations were nominally 660 reis to 640 reis for Irish ; and 570 reis to 560 reis per lb. French. No sales had transpired in flour, and stocks in band amounted to about 17,000 bar rels. The export market was brisk. We quote the following from the Price Current of the above date : " Sugar.—Considerable activity has prevailed during The past week, and brown sugars were eagerly pur chased at 3,200 reis per arroba in cases, with slight abatements on inferior descriptions ; for superior bags something more has been granted ; whites are less in quired after, and sell slowly at 4,100 reis and 4,000 reis per arroba, according to quality. At 3,200 reis for browns and 4,000 reis to 4,150 reis per arroba for whites, exchange, 28d. sugars cost 30s. ld. and 375. 6d. to 38s. 3d. per cwt., free on board, exclusive of freight. " Cotton—The greater part of our stocks on hand has been bought up at 6,400 reis per arroba, at which price, exchange 28d, it stands in 6.45 d per lb., free on board, freight excluded. " Coffee—ln brisk demand, fair quality from the inte rior selling at 4,400 to 4,500 reir per arroba, which, at 28d exchange, is equal to 44s 4d and 45s 3d per cwt. free on board, freight excluded. " Cocoa continues to be much inquired after at con tinually rising prices; last sales were at 5,200 to 5,300 reis per r.rroba, at which, exchange 28d, the article costs 52s to 53s per cwt. free on board, exclusive of freight. " Rum continues firm at 1,200 reis per Canada, and higher prices are demanded. " Hides much inquired after, and stocks on band in significant ; sales have been effected at 400 reis per lb. for dry and 360 reis per lb. for dry and salted, which, at the exchange of 28d, is equal to about 13 . 40 d per lb. for the former, and 11.13 d per lb. for the latter, free on board, without freight. " Tapioca.—None in the market, and our quotations are nominal ; the high prices of mandioca flour prevent the fabrication of ;this article. " I'iassava —We have had no supplies latterly ; sales in second hands have been effected at 17,500 reis to 18,000 reis per 100 bundles of superior, and 8,000 reis to 10,000 reis of ordinary quality. " Coquillioa.—None in market. " Tobacco.—A small lot of closed leaf seconds of su perior quality found a purchaser at 5,400 reis per arroba; prices of regular lots without alteration. " Wood.—Arrived, 15 dozen from Porto - Seguro ; sales effected, 50-dozen at 125,000 reis, and 18 dozen at 115,000 reis per dozen. " Freights.—Five or six charters have been effected this week at 40s. per ton for the Channel, Great Britain, and continent, and ono at a lump sum which has not transpired, for London direct ; the Celt steamer is taken up at 45e. per ton for Plymouth or Southampton, 425. 6d. for London, and 50s. for Liverpool or the continent. For Bremen light freight has been engaged at 475. 6d. per ton. " Exchange has settled down to 28d., at which it doses very flat, something having been effected at 27icl„ 60 days' sight on easy terms of payment." Our correspondent at Pernambuco, in his letter dated the 3d inst., writes as follows " Our anxiety respecting the Tamar was relieved on the 15th inst. by that steamer's safe arrival ; hhe pro ceeded to Bahia and Rio the following morn i ng , and arrived here homeward bonnd'this morning at 7 o'clock. Ths yellow fever has almost &together disappeared from among the shipping." THE MERCHANT SHIPPING ACT. SOUTHAMPTON, fo gentlemen conne.t e d w ith . thi s port was, held a-. the nerejia I M ci o t, N h riA p Y pi A public meeti n g ng . Town-liall this afternoon, "to take int. considera tion the present State of:the law as reg:irds the pro with the ad vie ° w Pt o e f l ci ce ui d ri i e n raffecting the commanders of merchant ships, in by ein tl o i r e ia lo s . i u n d g of Tra)o in . their in the Government to rewliust that part of The" Merchant :Shipping Act which refers to this particula,-." The meeting was very numerou-ly.attehd.„ld by captains and. ether officers of the various mail steam-ship companies loca.ed at this p r! - ,_ and other gentlemen interested in the prosperity of our mercantile marine. On the motion of Cap'ain J. R. ENGLEDUE (superintendent of the Peninsular and Oriental Company), second e d b y C a pt a in Sawyer_ Captain J. Strur,t (the examiner to the Royal Mail Com- pany, and superintendent of the Company's Offi cer's Home at this p..:rt) wag voted to the chair, and introduccd the business of the meeting with a few preliminary remark:. Ciptain ENGIEDUP, moved the first resolution, and in doing so entered inro a statement of the griev ances complained of. The first point ,contended for was that the in rchant sarvicesbould have the 33111 e justice extended to them as military and uaval offi cers, who, when charged with any offence, were put upon their trial before courts constituted of their own body, and who were therefore competent to judge of the merits of the question. Another question related to the operation of the Passenger Act, which prevent , d British sbipowners from fairly competing with foreigners. A Belgian steamer might arrive at this port with 500 passen gers on board, and could take on board 100 or 200 more here without any interference ; but an Eng lish merchant ship of the same power would be compelled to take a very much smaller number They had at present fitting out at this port a splen did fleet of steam-ships, lately belonging to the General Scnw Company, on whom this Act would press most heavily. There was the Golden Fleece which was about -to run in conjunction with the Teutonia and Petropolis, sailing under the Ham burg flag. They might take passengers on board at Antwerp, without restriction, but as £OOO as the Golden Fleece came here the emigration officer or Cullector of Customs goes on board, and says, " You have too many persons on board, 'and you must land some of them." And under the present Act the order must be obeyed. This was very un fair, and the law must be altered. The speaker enumerated other grievances, 'among which was Lord Campbell's Act, making owners of ships re= sponsible for the support of relatives of - persons whose lives might be lost by accidents. He also contended that the Marine Department of the Boird of Trade sbould be composed of mercantile men, and complained of the manner in which cap tains of merchant ships who might be so unfortu nate as to lose their ships, or be subjected to any accident, were put upon their trial as though they were only common felons. Nothing could b 3 worse or more unjust than the manner in which the officers and men - engaged in the transport ser vice during the late war had been treated by the Government. Their services had been unnoticed, and unthanked almost, by any one connoted with the Government of the country.'. He referred to the loss of the Prince and the Resolute, and con tended that the Government were bound in justice to give a pension to the widows and orphans of every person who had perished in those ships. The administration of the Patriotic Fund, which had been so generously contributed to by the country, was grossly unjust to those engaged in the trans port servic', who were as unlit , e.tionably acting for the welfare and benefit of their country as the members of the army and navy were. Captain Engledue concluded a spirited and lengthened ad dress by moving the first resolution, which, with those subsequently adopted, will be found in our advertising columns. Captain STEWART, of the European and Austra- Tian Royal Mail CoMpany, seconded the resolution, remarking that it was manifestly unfair for lands men to sit in judgment on nautical men. The resolution was put - from the chair and carried ' unanimously. Captain FIELD (Peninsular and Oriental Com pany) moved, and Captain METEVEN (Peninsular and Oriental Company) seconded the next resolu tion. Referring to the late Court of Inquiry into theloss of the Madrid, Captain Methven remarked that he could not help observing that as at present constituted such courts were composed of lands men, who received their bias from a man not practi cally acquainted with the rapid progress of naviga tion at the present day. He had no objection to magistrat,s or townsmen being associated with in quiries of this nature, ;but he did want to see a large influence therein of men of their own class, - so that men who met with an accident to their ships might be judged of by those who thoroughly under stood the whole bearin,g, of the question. The remaind er o f the resolutions were severally proposed and seconded by Mr. P. Hedger (superin tendentof the Southampton Docks), Captains Tre gear, Christian, and Evans (of the Peninsular and Oriental Company), Moir arid Curlewis (of the West India Royal Mail Company), Blackmore, Benson, Bown, and Baker (of the European and American Steam Shipping Company). The proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman. TILE AMERICAN WAR IN OBIATA. U. S. Steam Frigate San Jacinto, WhampoS, Dec. 5,185 G. Capture of the Barrier Forts—Another Account of the Operation—The Chinese Fire on. the Ships and Boats—American Rush on Three Forts— Bombardment and Storming of the L'st One— Scene of er the Fight—Officers and Men at Dinner—:The Walls and their Armament. It appears that I am fated to part'cipate in all the firtiting► the United Sates Government has to do. We have had a nice little skirmish with the Chinese. I will .now give you all the pneticuhrs. The English bad commenced hostilities o.omo two or three months since, and held - the city of Canton in a state of siege. The Governor of Can tln requested all .A . mericms to withdraw, and tint he would make restitution for all property destroyed from the effects of the war, belonging to View, as he intended to fight the English to the death. This snip, the Portsmouth, and the Levant, comr prising the whole American sqlladrim ; were lying at Whampol, twelve.mil.is below Canton. On the 15th .of November, Captain Foote, of the sloop Portsmouth, attempted t 3 go up to Cant m in his gig by a channel that leads past four Chinese forts. AS soon,' however; as he came within reach of their guns they commenced firing at him, and compeled him to return to his ship again. He then itnme diately acquainted Commodore Armstrong of - the fact. i3ii'tL`l~ morning - 01116 lath of Noveml* - 1-a:IA from the San Jacinto, in charge of Lieutenan Williamson,wae sent up thesame channel to sound Tho forts opened fire on her and struck her with a cannon shoc which killed one of the crew instantly, and they had t.) return to the ship. Imme Hate preparations were now made to take satisfaction f,,r the death of one of our men and •the offered to the flag. As the San Jacinto draws too much water to get up any flit ther the most of our crew were armed and transferred to t'ie sloops Portsmouth and Levant,•and a steamboat chart-red to tow them up within range of the forts, so that by three o'clock in the afternoon the Portsmouth opened a gal'ing fire of shell and shot upon the lower fort. The Levant got aground going up, and way of no service till next day. The bombardment was continued until the morn ing of the 201 h, when the order was given to land and storm the fort. As soon as our men landed the enemy evacuated it, and we took pos-ession. Early on the morning of the 21st it was decided to take the second fort. The boats were filled with men, and under cover of the ships' batteries pulled in for shore. When within about twenty yards of the beach a 24-pound shot from the fort struck the San Jacinto's launch, killing one man instantly and wounding three others ; two died shortly after, but the other is fast recovering. As soon as the boats landed the men, the Chinese began to retreat from the fort, but our men rushed on them with a fury indescribable, and, maddened at the death of their shioma es, gave no quarter. In the afternoon the third fort was taken. Early on the morning of the 221 the attack on the last fort commenced. The broadsides of the ships were accordingly brought to bear upon it, and also cover the boats while landing the storming party . . There were at least 4,000 Chinamen in and about it, and it was evident they intended to ,make a last and desperate stand. Still our little party of about 200 pulled bravely into the shore under showers of grape from the fort, which fortunately for them were not well aimed, and succeeded in landing without the loss of a single man. The enemy retreated as soon as we landed, as they know nothing can stand the charge of a party of sailors. Captain Bell was as wild as anybody else ; he killed several with his own hand, grabbing them and running his sword through them. Ho nar rowly escaped being killed himself, m a fellow m tide a full charge' on him with a pike, but ho struck . it aside with his sword and run him through. Here you see r, , publicanism. There are Captains Bell, Foote, and. Smith, of the three ships, sitting down on a log by a fire ; some of the crews are roasting some eggs pr boiling a chicken on the coals, with potatoes they have foraged somewhere. One of the men takes a chicken by the leg : "Here, cap tain, will you have a piece ?" " That I will , and thank yon ' too, as I am very hungry." So the captain takes hold of a leg and pulls for his share. This is another part of the play from the clean deck, elegant uniform, silver plate to eat oil; (C.-,e. In place of his line cab'n, Captain 801 l has had no thing but a bunch of straw and a blanket that ono of the men gave him to lie on, night after nigh, We have blown the walls of the forts down with gun-powder. Our total loss is five killed and ten wounded. The walls of the forts were of the finest granite I ever saw, eighteen to twenty feet high, and six to twelve feet thick, and mounting 165 guns in all. There was one gun twenty-four - feet long and ten inch lante—l suppose the largest in the world. We look back now surprised at our own foolhar diness in attacking forts that in proper bands would have blown the ships out of the water. ATTEMPTED ESCAPE OF ROMAN POLI TICAL PRISONERS.-FATAL CONFLICT WlT.ti THE SOLDIERY. (From a Correspondent of the Daily News.) ROME, MARCH 19. The most exciting piece of intelligence that has presented itself since my last letter is an attempt on the part of the prisoners confined in the Castle Of Palliano, chiefly for political offences, to escap, vi et artnis, from that place of durance vile. The attempt took place about 4 o'clock in the afternoon of Saturday last, and various accounts of the occur rence were in circulation in the cafes and saloons of Rome on the following day, but the official nar ration appeared on Monday evening with more exact details. It appears that the prisoners had chosen the hour allotted to taking exercise in the court as most propitious for their attempt. Instead of returning into their respective places of confinement, some of them succeeded in forcing the doors leading to the piazza . d'armi, whilst.. others broke thrOugh the ceiling of the prison wards and got upon the roof of the barracks and infirmary. The first detach ment, making me of the tools with which they are allowed to work at certain hours, broke open the door of the head gaoler's room, to get the keys from him. Those on the roof of the barracks un tiled the roof to gain admission into the building, and seize the soldiers' arms, whilst the other pri soners who had got on the roof of the infirmary endeavoured to keep the troops from entering the barracks by pelting them with tiles. Some of the rioters finally forced the door of the great tower of the fortress, whence they molested the soldiers with showers of stones and bricks. In this state of things, having in vain summoned the prisoners to roturu to their places of confinement, the com manders of the garrison of chasi:eurs and of the brigade of gendarmes gave their men orders to fire, when, brickbats • being no match for muskets, the mutineers had to submit, with the loss of four of their number killed and five wounded. One of the soldiers and a keeper were wounded also. The official report does not give the names of the killed, but merely states that they were persons who had been condemned for wounding or robbing, "through party spirit," the damning clause which enhances threefold the heinousness of every crime in this country whenever connected in any way with poli tical motives. The prisoners in the Castle of Palliano are all considered as political offenders, and amount in number to several hundreds, ooufined in separate cells, each containing twelve individuals, who are only allowed to see the inmates of other cells dur ing the hour allotted to exercise. The plan of operations appears to have been concocted during these occasional meetings.

The four candidatee attended to hdclro;s the meeting, but neither of them deemed it necessary to enter into an expo•i`ion of his political sentimants, their principal object being to show to the constituency that Ahoy are acting in strict conceit and com bination.

There is no change in the market. The great interest taken in the election not only interrupts business here, but the wholesale houses in this city find that the same cause interferes with their cor respondence in othe r p l aces . Notwithstanding this partial suspension, the prices of cloth are well sus tained, and the m ar k et ap p e irs to be thoroughly sound. For yarns there is a fair demand from the home trade, but the principal business has been in yarns suited to Germany. Both 30's and 40's mule have been sought for considerably, and spinners are asking id. per lb. advance in these numbers. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report— " There has been very little business done here during the last few days, except in electioneering affairs, to which many of our large operators are d6voting more time and labour than on almost any previous occasion. We have consequently to report today a very quiet market generally, and repeat our quotations of Tuesday last." • Messrs. George Fraser, Son, and Co. report— " Th e yarn 'market is steady, or rather inclining to hardness in prices. Goods, however, are generally very inactive to-day, but without change in values. Polities are more the order of the day than business." LEEDS, MARCH 24. The cloth market has been rather inlnimate this morning, the excitement of electioneering proceed ings throughout the country putting a temporary check upon mercantile transactions. Fabrics suit able for summer are almost the only kinds of goods saleable. HUDDERSFIELD, MARCH 24. The market this morning has 'been very quiet, and it is evident that until the excitement of the election is over trade will continue flat. There were some London buyers in, but the transactions were generally unimportant, job lots being chiefly sought for. Wool firm. Naval and Military Intelligence. Yesterday' and the previous day a distribution of Baltic medals was made at Cbatham to those officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates of the Chatham division of Royal Marine Light Infantry, who were en gaged in the Baltic campaign of 1854-55.

MIDDLESEX. A large meeting of the electors of Middlesex took place at the Globe Tavern, Mile-end-road, on Mon day evening, to hear addresses from Lord R. Gros venor and Mr. Robt. Banbury, jun., the new can didate for the representation. Several of the most influential electors of the eastern portion of the county wero on the platform. Lord R. GROSVENOR having addressed the meet ing, proceeded to answer' several questions. A Voice—What is your opinion, Lord Robert, about the bands pl a yi ng i n the parks ? (Cheers and laughter.) Lord R. GROSVENOR s , id he was informed that the 'military bands that played in the parks on Sunday complained of being compelled to work on that day. (Hear, and cries of " No.") ins duty iu life was that a man on every seventh day should have a holyday, and to compel a man under mili tary law to work on that day was nothing less than gross tyranny. (Loud cheers.) Mr. HANBITRY then addressed the electors, and was greeted with great applause. An ELECTOR—WiII you vote fur the ballot ? Mr. HArrnunv—lf that measure be brought be fore Parliament I will vote for it. (Cheers.) A Voice—What about the 70,0001. which is to' be vo'ed to the Princes Royal on her marriage ? Answer that, Lord Robert. Lord R. GROSVENOR Slid he had heard nothing about it. All he could say was that if such a pro- • position was brought before the House of Com Ons he must ascertain the reason for prep() :iii; it be ford -ho could give any answer. (Cheers and laughter.) A Voice—Mr. Hanbury, will you vote for the extension of the franchise A . Mr. HANDURY said he should rote for Mr. Locke King's motion. _ Tiie next resolution crag agreed to. GREENWICH. There is now a third candidate for the represen tation of this borough.' Yesterday Mr, J. Towns end, undertaker, Greenwich, issued an address offering himself to the electors.• Mr. - Alderman SALOMANS has issued an address, Ln which he declines to contest the borough. BEDFORD. The Liberal party, determined to put at end to the system of equal representation ' 1 ‘ one Wlrg, one Tory,"• have brought out Mr. Thos. Barnard, in conjunction with Mr. Samuel Whitbread, the Liberal member in the late Parliament. Captain Stuart, the Tory candidate, has been carrying on an active canvass. Mr. E. T. Smith, the les'ee of Drury-lane, has left Bridport and put up for Bedford, as a Radical. He has received lorge - promises of support. A meeting was held on Monday night at the Assem bly-rooms, which were thoroughly crowded. Mr. SKENE ' who was called to th e c h a i r , intro duced " the Man of the People," and announced amid peals of laughter and loud applause, that his name was " Smith." Mr. E. T. SMITH addressed the meeting. After promising to remedy the abuses of the Bedford Charity, Mr. Swith announced himself in favour of the ballot and a liberal extension of the suffrage, as he maintained that every honest man had a right to the franchise. He was also for an extensive re form in the army. In obedience to the call of honest men who had waited upon him he had de termined to come down and fight their cause at Bedford, and had left Bridport, where he was cer tain to be returned. He had, however, come to Bedford ; he had nailed his colours to the mast - , should 0')M0 to the poll, and remain until he had polled the last man. (Cheers, and mewing in imitation of cats, probably iu reference to the an nouncement that Mr. Smith would " let the cat out of the bag.") Several persons who had accompanied Mr. Smith from London addressed the meeting as Radicals. They extolled Mr. Smith in the highest terms as a puro Radical, a thorough philanthropist, a gene rous master over a thousand admiring dependents, and a thorough hardworker—one who always did two days' work in one. _ _ _ An RLEcTon objected to the latter qualification, on the ground that it would make work scarce in Bedford, and there was nono too much to do now.

But the msjb rity of Churchmen, who do not wish to see 'our parochial fabrics stripped as bare as a Scotch con venticle, and are equally reluctant to assimilat e them to a Roman Catholic chapel, will acknowledge thankfully that the law leaves so much liberty i n the mettir of Church ornament - , and will. readily give up the two points on which the Court of 214 3 - peal has affirmed the decision of the Court below. We shall probably b 3 doing the. general reasir a service if we condense into a small cempass 'this elaborate judgment, an 1 prezent a summary of its leading points, divested of its legal phraseology and technicalities. -It will be-remembered that the first suit was in stituted early in 1855 by Mr. 'Neste eon, a b x,)- seller, and .Churchwardera of St. Paul's, Knights bridge, against Mr. Liddell, a n d M r . orne,, the other Churchwarden. The other suit was instituted by a Mr. Beale against Mr. Liddell and the Churchwardeus of St. Barnabas. The first case took the form .of an application to ,the Consistorial Court of London for a faculty to remove fr { k aine St. Paul's Cloirch " the alt tr or high sitar," as it was calla d ; also, certain cloths of various colours used for covering the same, together with the wooden cross elevated thereon and affixed the:l3'o • r. as well as the ca n dlesticks theroors es seeteeelee.wit the credentia, or credence tab'e, and' for substitut ing in lieu there)f "a dec nt and proper table," and a decent cloth "for the covering thereof." Dr. Lu,hington, in giving judgment, allowed t%e communion table, which is of wood and moveably, to remain, and also the candlesticks ; but he de creed the removal-of the cross, the credence table, and the cloths. With regard to St. Barnabas; a monition was obtained on the 17th January, 18 i 55, against Mr. _Liddell and the Churehwardens to re • move the rood screen and brazen gates, together with the cross elevated and fixed en tee said screen, and also the stone altar and the cloths now used for covering the same, and the cross ornamented with jewels elevated thereon, and fixed thereto, with the candlesticks and candles, and also the marble cre dentia, and to set up on the east end of the chancel the Ten Commandments. Dr. Lushingto_n, in givingjudgment on this case, orde , el the removal of the stone altar or table, together with the cre dence table, the cross on the screen, and the cross on the tatle, and the coloured - cloths. Both these suits came by appeal before the Court of Arches, and as they involved the same principles of law they' ware argued and decided together. The Dean of Arches Sir John Dodson—affirmed the judgment of Dr. Lushington, condemning the apel !ants in the costs. On the subject of crosses, ;Sir John Dodson and Dr. LuShington differed, inas much as the formorclassed them under images and the latter under ornaments, but both came to the same cenelusion as to their removal. But the Ju dicial Committee have taken broader ground. They hold that by ornaments is meant all those articles the use of which is enjoined by the Prayer-book of Edward VI. The term ornaments is not confined in ecclesiastical law to articles of decoration,' but is taken pro quocum,que apparato seu inifitemento —vestments, books, cloths, bells, organs, and the like. • ence, the Rubric, inserted in the . Prayer-book from.the Statute Ist Elizabet 1, cap. 2, when it speaks of such ornaments continuing iu use as were in use by authority of Pa , liament in the second year of Edward VI., adopts the word ern t meats as covering both the vestments of the minis ters, and the several articles used. in the services, and is confined to such things as in the perform ance of the service the ministers were to use.. But none of these could have any reference to articles not used in the services, but set up in churches as decorations ; therefore their lordships have d.ecieted that although the Rubric excludes alt use of crosses in the service, the general question of crosses not used in theeervice is unaffected by the Rubric. No objecti ,n, then, to crosses on the score of ornament can be sustained. . Are they then forbidden under the wo:d images, as Sr J. Dodson thinks? Tueir lordships rote that they aro not, but that, on the contrary, " crosses, as distinguished from cruci fixes, have been in use frOm the earliest periods of Christianity; that when used as mere emblems of I the faith, and not as objects of superstitious reve rence, they may still be lawfully erected as archi tectural decorations in churches ; that the wooden cross erected on the chancel screen of St. Barnabas • is to be considered as a mere architectural orna ment ; and that, as to this article, they must ad vise her Majesty to reverse the judgment com plained of." This decision, however, do _a not apply to the crosses fixed upon the communion tables at St. Paul and St. Barnabas, which are afterwards dealt with. The communion table comes next under review. The Court lays great stress upon the words, alt .r and communion table, as marking a great distinction bet 'keen the doctrine of the Church of England and Rome on the subject of the Lord's Supper. Revert ing to ancient precedent and the history and changes of the law on this subject, their lordships are satis fied that the judgment in the well-known case of Faulkner v. Lichfield ought to remain, and, there fore, that the stone altar at St. Barnabas be removed and a wooden one substituted, and that the cross fixed to it, and also to the one at St. Paul's, be re moved, as making in it such an alteration as re moves it out of the definition of a table in the ea des'astical sense. On the subject of credence tables, thsir lordships rule that they are to remain, as being merely unobjectionable "side tables from which the elements may be conveniently reached by the minister, and at th: proper time transferred to the communion table." The embroidered cloths for the communion tables are not to be interfered with. The canon on which Dr. Lushingion and others relied, as requiring only one cloth, being held by their lordships to have only the intention of securing a handsome • re, and not to guard againi t having one of too much splendour. The -embroi dered linen - and lace are to be disused as not failing within the definition of a "fair linen cloth." The decision cf the Court below as to costs is reversed.. Both parties in both suits are to bear their own. Such is the substance of this important judgment. It will be seen that it is a victory for the appellants on all the points but two—the stone altar and cross on it and the lace. We trust that in its effects upon the Church this long-expected decision may be the harbinger of peace. It will now be seen what is in accordance with the spirit of the Reformation and what is not. The hitherto uncertain state of the law—uncertain because undeclared—has embarrassed both clergy and laity. The absence of positive and direct autho rity in the matter of Church decoration, and some points of ritual observance, has thrown merle , upon the resources -of their own private judgment, and so some with an antiquarian bent have desired the restoration of this ; others given up to architectural inquiries have sought the adoption of that. Some have desired a florid, others a simple, celebration of Divine worship ; and the lovers of a i plain and the admirers of a decorated church . have striven together, often not in the most seemly spirit, for victory. But the points that have been determined in these Knightsbridge suits ought to go far towards preventing the like want of unity and confidence in future, since it is now ruled by the highest authority in the land both what the law is and what are the grounds of it. It only re mains for all parties to accept this final decision. with a good grace. Let the clergy take caw how they strain its permissions too far, and the laity howthey complain to o rea dil y of the adopt i on o f this or.that practic e , ornament or custom, t o long as it remains sa nct i one d b y the, law. Mr. Wester ton and his party, w h o h ave ma d e t h em selves no torious by th e i r i n d ecent i nter f ere nce on various occasions with th e so l emn i t i es o f Divine worship, will do well t o p ract i se f or the future glees : obtru sive course, an d t o t a k e care how, under the cloak •ty, they transgress the of zeal for liturgical P itself unseemly.—. ruffed up, and doth not behave nteth not itself, is not limits of the grace that Morning Post.
