THE SPEAKER OF TIIE HOUSE OF COMMON& The Commons, we have reason to believe, are about to lose the services of their able and ex cellent Speaker. Though this announct!ment will be received with regret by his numerous personal frends, and by all who have come within the wide range of his influence, yet his retirement could scarcely have been postponed beyond the close of the now expiring Parliament. He has served for 18 years a longer period than any previous Speaker, if we except the well-known Arthur Onslow, who occupied the chair for the unexam pled space of 33 years. But we have lived faster since the days of Onslow, and have h. arned, per haps with scant wisdom, to compress into one modern session the labours, the night watchings, and the wear and tear of at least two sessions of the olden time. In years of service Mr. Speaker Shaw Lefevre has already exceeded the late Vis count Canterbury ; and if the labours of a Speaker could be computed in days and midnight hours, our distinguished contemporary would not be se cond even to Arthur Onslow. Elected to the chair i n fou r Parli amen t s , he has witnessed the fall of four Administration, and the recent crisis of a fifth ; he has enjoyed the confi dence of Conservative as well as Liberal majori ties ; and whether the House of Commons has been led by Lord John Russell or Sir R. Peel, by Mr. Disraeli or Viscount Pal mers t on , the as cendency of his high office and hi s own personal popularity have ever been the same. His dignity, free from pomp or affectation, is natal al to him ' his judicial clearness, his quick saga c ity an d t ac t, a re never at fault ; while his admirable temper is proof against all the wearisome t r i a l s an d exhaus tion, to which heis exposed. Meanwhile, the valuable improvements which he has introduced into every department of Parliamentary business are evidence of his great administrative ability. Nobly has he won the rewards which now awa it him. His talents , his high character, and eminent public services entitle him to a diAinguished place in the House of Peels; and the public will cordially approve of any pecuniary acknowledgment which Parliament may offer to a public servant, at once so worthy and so justly popular.—Post. THE LUNDIIILL COLLIERY EXPLOSION. LATEST PARTICULARS. LUNDHILL, . F R IDAY EVENING. It was generally expected that by the close of the present week the water would have reached suf ficiently high to subdue the flames. Such, however, we are sorry to say, will not be the case, as in all probThility another week will elapse before the pit will be in a state to admit of operations being com menced for drawing off the water. The period when that will commence may be calculated when it is stated that the water in the first instance had to rise 30 feet up the shaft from the bottom. On Tuesday last the water had only reached 11 ft. 1 inch ; on Wednesday, 14 feet 5 itichei ; Thurs day, 16 feet 5 inches ; and to-day at five o'clock, 18 feet. The cisterns for drawing the water off have' just been finished and fixed, and are reedy for hit . - rat diate use ; they will hold about 550 gallons each, and will descend and discharge their load of water in less than a minute.

BRISTOL. After high 'Change on Saturday afternoon an ad dress to the Right Hon. Lord Palmerston, expr:s sive of regret at the result of the Cobden vote, was set on foot and 'received a number of most influen tial signatures, including those of many magistrates and town councillors, leading merchants, &c. The address is couched in the following terms, and, al though originated by members holding Conservative i ws in politics, it has bean 'subscribed by men of all p .rties : " We, the undersigned, inhabitants of the city and county of Brist , d, 13 , g to represent to your .lordship the &clings cf surprise and regret with which we have receivel intelligence of the result (;f , he recent division on Mr. Cotden's motion in the House of Commons. " We greatly lament that an Opposition so openly factious, and combining within itself men and prin cip'es too incongruous to afford hope of any useful alliance, should have commanded the support of so large a number of members of the House of Com mons as to, have enabled it to defeat a Ministry re markable for its truly English character, for the respect it-has won for the British name throughout the world, for the security it has obtained for mer cantile intercourse with foreign nations, and for the vigour with which it has carried on its governmen tal furctions at home and abroad. " We venture to believe that the alliance by which you have been assailed, while it has, greatly , lowered the political reputations of the parties en gaged in it, has gained no sympathy in the hearts of the British people. • vt - Wnthauk your lordship that, instead of yiGlil ing the reins of Government into o her hands, you have resorted to the constitutional alternative of appealing to the people ; and we desire to express to you our firm conviction that the result of that appeal will not confirm the decision of the House of Commons." It was expected that the address would be very numerously signed on Monday (this day). • SHEFFIELD. The recent defeat of Lord Palmerston has caused a great sensation in Sheffield, but ftom the result of our inquiries we are able to state that the public feeling, at least among the middle classes, appears decidedly in favour of his lordship, and opposed to the coalition. On Saturday morning a meeting of tlie principal merchants of the town was held at the Exchange-rooms, to consider the propriety of adopt ing a memorial expressive of confidence in the pre mier. The following is the memorial : "We, the undersigned, merchants, manufacturers, and others, inhabitants of Sheffield, feel bound at once to assure your lordship that we have heard with the greateet r,gret and dissatisfaction the result of the division ea Mr. Cobden's motion in the House of Commons on Wednes day morning last ; and, at the same time, most decidedly to express our opinion that a Liberal Government, with your lordship at its head, will give the best guarantee for the prosperity of the British dominions at home and abroad." The memorial was signed by all the gentle men present, including many of the most eminent merchants and manufacturers, and the document is still receiving an additional number of names, prior to its being despatched for presentation to li;s lordship. LEICESTER. The feeling here in favour of Lord Palmerston is very strong, and is shared in alike by all political patties. The Conservatives very generally regard him as the best possible Minister at the present time, and would be anything but elated at the prospect of his downfall. The three local journals, representing respectively Conservative, Whig, and extreme Radical politic., and which on most sub jects aro as wide as the poles - asunder, are united in representing the late vote of the House of Commons as the result of an unprincipled and factious combination. Had the borough members voted against the Government their return at the ensuing election would certainly have been im perilled, for the almost universal feeling of their constituents is, that the present contest is between Palmerston and England on the one hand, and the the tripartite coalition and Russia on the other. • r Prom the .Econotniet.l Few topics have been more thoroughly winnowed and sifted than the origin and detali of our pre sent quarrel with China. The debates contin ued for two nights in the Lords and four nights in the Commons, and nearly every speaker of eminence in each branch of the Legislature, and many who were eminent in neither, took part in the discussion. It may be presumed that every point contained in the papers laid before Parliament, and every piece of infotmation possessed by the public, was tho rotighly well examined and brought to bear on the decision ; but whether all these papers and all this information combined were sufficient either in clear ness or in :fullness to warrant any confident deci si qt. at all, is a very different question. And, look ing at the matter actually as well as constitutionally, it cannot be said that t le nation has arrived at any definite or fixed conclusion. The House of Lords his expressed one opinion ; the House of Commons has expressed an opposite opinion, and the people of England, the court of ultimate resort, is about to be appealed to as umpire between these conflict ing verdicts. We frankly and unrehictantly admit both the difficulty of the dilemma in which Parliament was placed, and the unsatisfactory character of the facts and materials of the special cage before it. It was almost impossible to debate the matter without doing harm and incurring serious dangers. It was equally impossible to avoid debating it without a de reliction of one of the most obvious duties of a con trolling and governing assembly. . Ministers, on whom devolved the heavy responsibilities of action, and independent and conscientious members of Par liament, who could not but look at the actual or apparent merits of the case, were alike in a position of grave perplexity. If Ministers blamed and de- Berta their representatives in China for acting in a manner which they themselves, if consulted, proba bly never would have sanctioned, and which, j udg ing by the facts as partially known to us, seemed open to serious question, they might possibly be in error ; and at all events- would greatly embarrass and complicate the crisis at Canton, and by discou raging the English and encouraging the Chinese, might bring the most formidable dangers on those who looked to them for protection, and who at the very:pion:lent might be struggling for their lives. If, on the other hand, they resolved to assume the re sponsibility of what hal become afait accompli, and to justify and endorse proceedings which their in structions had not warranted, and which undeniably, as tar as yet appears, were not free from flaw or doubt (to say the least) —they placed themselves in the awkward and painful predicament of baying to defend what it was clear they could not heartily ap prove—and thus give a great and manifest advan tage to their rivals and antagonists at home. Again, honest senators felt that Sir John Bowring and Con sul Parkes appeared to hare acte I hastily and harshly, and, however just their chronic grounds of quarrel with the Chinese, to have chosen an ' unlucky and defective case for bringing that quarrel to an issue—thus placing themselves and their country in the wrong by a mistake, though there might be no mistake at all as to the substan tial merits of the cause. Yet to condemn these officials for what they had done and the Govern ment at horns for supporting them when it was done, would not only be to kizird actual and seri ous mischief by playing the game of our enemies, but would—bdore the world at large, where the niceties of a question are always overlooked—be equivalent to confessing that, in the quarrel with the Chinese authorities (not about this miserable lerclia, but about their whole conduct towards us), they are right and we are wrong—which every one believes or knows to be the very reverse of the truth. It is not surprising, therefore, that there should never have been a discussion in which sin- Icere men and wise men felt so entirely puzzlel as to the language they ought to hold and the vote they ought to give. . . • • • A second consideration, which has not received the attention it deserves, is this :—Whatever may be the reality or the importance of the flaw in our case relating to the lorcha which Sir J. Bowring ma!e the immediate occasion of the rupture, there can be no dt übt that it wat only the occasion, and not the real cause. One undoubted fact—at least we believe it to be undoubted—is, that every indi vidual acquainted with the Chinese or resident in China, whether merchant, naval officer, diplo matist, or missionary, whether Englishman or foreigner, is of the same opinion in this matter. All deplore the decision of the House of Commons, and all concur in the absolute necessity of chas tising the persistent faithlessness, the incessant aggressions, and the systematic affronts of the Chinese. It is very possible that in the matter of the lorcha we may have been in error as to fact ; it is probable, even, that in point of law we were in error. It is too probable, also, that as regards the illicit trade carried on in the Canton waters our hands are not clean. But we must not overlook meanly every per the consentmecou4 testimonya son whose knowledge of China entitlq him to be listened io on such asubj..ct. All deellre that ss tisfactory, safe, and dignified intercourse with those arrogant and cruel people is impossible till they have met with severe chsstisement, and have been forced to r espect our superior power and their own so'emn engagaar nts. A Ion; c 'urse'oriri‘mlts, no only to us, but to other f)reigners, had bees gra dually reaching its climax ; further endurance and forbearance had become impossible ; everyLliing was ripe for 1a quarrel ; an I it se&ms to hay. , I - ben dytermined that the nest insult Vie British should be peremptori'y dealt with wh in the Arrow was boarded. At the very time this happened, we were in consultation with the French and Ame ricans, in order to "devise some plan for placing our common relations with the Cantonese upon a more satisfactory ftiotiny, and bi inging that ignorant and overbearing people to a sense of their true positi , m with regard to European Powers. Now, we do say, that the unanimous feeling of all most qua lified to judge as t o th e nec essity of taking a high ground with Chin a , an d o f prosecuting with energy and reso',ution our su b s t a ntially just quarrel—just in its essentials, though erroneous in its accidental circumstances—ought not to be lightly put aside. The debates in Parliament and the decision of the House of Commons—awn if reversed by the country on appeal—will render the further action of our Government in this matter full of difficul.: fes, and embarrass not a little the proceedings cf the Commander-in-Chief or Plenipot -ntiary we may send out to prosecute cr terminate the quar rel. We do not apprehend as many do that either c the adverse vote or the erong and reckless language held by many members of the Opposition will really 'imperil the gives of the EuropeAnr3 iu those parts : fur the same mail that cat ries out this news will carry out also such reinforcements as will place opposition and danger at defiance.

Never was there a more motley majority than that of the Yehs on Mr. Cobden's motion: Black spirits and white, blue spirits and grey, spirits - of mingled together in the that ever astonished and It was but a few 'lights o every dde ds hue sg confusion, tt o e f d t t h h e e rainbow, p opublic.' fusion, c. ago that Mr. Sidney Herbert voted against Mr. Locke King's motion for the extension of the fran chise, not because he was against re f orm , t o which he was so friendly, indeed, that he had been a party when in power to Lord John Russell's Re form Bill, but because he held it to be a paramount obligation to look to the state of parties, and not place Lord Palmerston's Administration in diffi culty, much less in danger. These cons iderations have, however, all vanished, and Mr. Sidney Her bert's tender regards are all transferred from the Premier to Commissioner Yeh. - . Since 1831 we have not observed so strong a fealing of public displeasure at an attempt to over throw a Ministry as has been manifested upon the present occasion. The judgment has been all but unanim-us out of P,u'liament, and Lord Palmer ston has good grounds fa. asserting that he has not lost the confidence of the country. We will not evade the truth—the Chinese affair was not liked, for it is not every one who understands the charac ter of that singular people, and the only means of dealing with them ; but the public had soon the wit to perceive that the queston was not discussed on the merits, but was merely wielded as an instru ment for a deadly blow to the Administration. " What's Hecuba to him, or he to Hecuba 1" asked the public of Mr.' Gladstone's and other similar extravagances. " Tears in his eyes, distraction in 's aspect, A broken voice, and his whole function suiting, With fortni to his conceit, and all lor not Lin:: !" For Yeh ! The current word for the thing has bsen humbug, every one knowing that the Opposi tion, if sides were changed, would chastise the Chinese miscreant in authority at Canton with a will not a jot less hearty than that of the present Government. Nay, more ; if Lord Derby and Lord Mahnesbury had been in power, they would have approved all that had been done, as surely as a Liberal Opposition would have pursued the other course. Men never will learn how much their views are influenced by the position whence taken —in or out. (Prom the 4fanckester Guardian.) For gentlemen who have their personal connec tion principally among the mercantile cla - ses, and whose influence is mainly btsel on their presumed knowlelge of, and regard for, the interests of tr 'de, Mr. William Gladstone and Mr. Richard Cob den have managed to distinguish themselves in a very remar:rable manner. As we address a com munity whichhas some slight pretensions to commer cial importance, wo have reason for taking special note7of the obligation under which they have placed us. Mr. Gladstone encouraged the House of Com mons to turn a deafear to the voice of the merchants of England on the Chinese question, by saying that to listen to this class of witnesses would be the same as if they had decided the question of slavery by a reference to the slaveowners. We must leave others to decide whether the comparison is more first place, it r c iela l si e era a lsns i old li a i aeegi n i ta v tiit o i yes damaging to the right hon. gentleman's cause iu a logical or in a rhetorical point of view ; for, in the attitude assumed by our officials in the Canton an admission that the River is favourable to the interests of trade, which h n t len d ud e leN i ,n i i i loc e one i ; o:n.if a i ta d hp , eosiolneicicietyal elution of l the class, h x o pl w a f ce, eeerittxts exercises implies m e country, is base enough to prostitute its conscience to the successful pursuit of gain. The elaboration of this flattering idea was chiefly, however, under taken by Mr. Cobden, who appears to have a rather worse opinion of his old friends than that which he used to expr• ss of the landowners. If he had been con'ented with throwing them overboird with re gard to this question alon? the esiigenc•?s of his a rgument would luso aiforhe.l a pres ntable ex cuse. But the heart isst and longest part of his speech was an invective against the cupidity, sel fishness, and arrogance or British merchants all over the word. - - After the betrayal of feelings so very nearly allied to conttmpt, it may not be a ver y ser io us thing to threaten either of these orators with the displeasure of the class whom th y estimate at so low a &tire. But as we know what Mr. Gladstone and Mr. C.,bden think of the commercial_ class, it is in evitable that we should E ()Dn. learn what the com mercial class thinks of them. Au earneA of its opinion was decisively afforded during the debate itself by the circunistanc 3 that evon such opponents of Lord Palmerston as Mr. G 1 egson,M r . R o b er t on, and Mr. Horsfall, happening to be also connec t e d with trade and requiring keep an eye on its in terest were unre , etvecl in condem n i ng an d resist ing tin course whi 3 h the nnin!leis f or the West Riding and the University of Oxford had com bined to adopt. The voice of the commercial interests of the country lute now to be heard di rectly pronoun c? (1 , and, apparently, there will be a u unusual unanimityin its declaration. ( Front (lee Derbyshire Courier ) There are not a score of Englishmen out of the h hopes of advantages to be ga i ne d b y a c h ange o f Ministers, i u n 3 i e s , t so: who h r i a o ro w m il :l n l trammelled not b yparty pre j u di ces or the acquit Lord Palmerston of any intention of acting with c r ue lt y towar d s th e cra fty barbarians of Canton. All that can be said against him is that, finding two official servants in r esponsible situations in China when ho became Minister, and believing that they were not men to act with undue severity or reprehensible want of consideration towards the Chinese, he has refused t.) secure his own safety by sacr ifi c i ng t h e f or mer friends of his political oppo nents. L or d Palmer ston has stood up with tie manliness of an English gentleman fur Sir John Bowring and Admiral Sey mour. (From the Gateshead (Avner ) As soon as the necessary arrangements can be made the Parliament of 185 2 will be dissolved, and a general election will ensue. We have no misgiv ings as to the result. It will not accord with the o views of Mr. Cobden. It will not serve the pur pose of the Conservative party.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE, EAST SUSSEX. The official declaration of the pill was made on Satur day at Lewes by the High Sheriff of the'c3unty, Mr. R. C. Pomfret, the number of votes recorded being as fol lows : Lord Pevensey Mr. Dodson q . 2,231 Majority for Viscount Perensey (C) 68 The result, while showing the maj )rity in Viscount Pevensey's favour as less by 21 than in a former return published, proves the present contest to have been the most severe one known for this diviiion. Viscount PEVENSEY, after the ceremony'of buckling on the sword to the newly-elected meal )er had been performed, returned thanks. Mr. DODSON also returned thanks, and, having c3n. gratulated the electors on their success in the infliction of a death-blow on Tory monopoly in that division of the county, said they would riot desist in their efforts until they had wrested the division from the grasp of the Tories. Before very many weeks vitro over he should appear again as a candidate before them, and he believe.) that next time the result would not be doubtful. Reform Association here have issued a long address to The electors of the city calling upon them to support. Mr. Ricardo and Mr. Laslett as being two consistent re formers. The address is dated March 9, but was circu lated on Saturd4 SOUTILUIP7ON.-11 , 3 present Liberal members Mr. B. M. x and Mr. T. M. Weguelin, have each pub lished an address to the electors ; and the unfortunate difference which (xi-led between the Liberal elec•ors, we hope, no longer existing, it is probable that no Tory candidate will offer himself; and these gentlemen will be returned without opposition. CIRENCESTER.—the Hon. Ashley Poneonby, one of the sit ir.g mirnbers for this borough, has issued an ad dress to the el,ct , r3 soliciting re=election. Referring to the Canton aff,ir he says : LrvEnrooL.—The election campa;gn at Liverpool has commenced. Mr. J. C. Ewart, one of the present mem bers, issued his address on Saturday soliciting a re newal of the confidence which has been .so far reposed in him. He refers to his vote in support of the Minis try against the motion of Mr. Cobden, and makes Pro minent mention of, his sympathy for Colonel Tulloch and Sir J. M'Neil, aqd of his address on the subject which he had the honour of forwarding to them from the principal merchants and others in Liverpool. The feeling of the town is at present strongly in favour of re turning both the present menkters, Mr. Horsfall having gained the favour of all sections and parties by his bold and independent c onduct in the house, and by the at tentiou with which he has looked after the interests of his constituents in Parliament, while the moderate Tot ies have no objection to Mr. Ewart. The extreme party men, however, are determined to bring Mr. Turner for ward in connection with gr. Horsfall, and . a severe struggle is anticipated. MANCHESTER. The Liberel4 of Manche ter are anxious to get some Liberal of mark to oppose Mr. Milner Gibson, whose course of conduct has given deep dissatisfaction. There is no place where the princip'es and English policy of Lord Palmerston aro more warmly e,poused. Some of the old Free-trade party are, how ever, anxious for the election of Mr. Bright and Mr. Gibson on the ground of former services in the cause of commercial reform. . "I deeply regret the unfortunate occurrences which have recently taken plco at Canton, but feeling, as I did, that the House Gov, rinsont wen; not fairly chargeable with the actst c f agents abroad, with whom they had had no pre vious cotamusication on the subject; I did not feeljtistiOed o service its r_-fusing them my support on the recent division, espe cially beari ng i n m i n d th e prev i ous character of the officer whose cond uc t was chiefly impugned, and the fact that his appointment h a d ben approved by men who have now j , ,ined the Opp os iti on .

Mr. Ponsonby adds a hope that with the war will cease the heavy expenditure of the country, and that our naval and tary e tallshments may be placed on a reduced footing. It is understood that Mr. Mullings will again offer himself, and a third caurldate i r the person of a nephew of Ea I Bathurst is spoken of. GLOUCESTER,—Au opposition to the Return of Admi ral Sir M. Ii keley and MT. Price is talked of here. Although the Conservative party was beaten at the last election, they intend to bring forward Mr. S. Baker, of Thorngrove, Worcestershire, as tbeir champion. Mr. Baker is Chairman of the Gloucester and Dean Forest Railway Company, and was an unsuccessful candidate or the borough of Stroud at the last election. He pro f sees Conservative and Free-trade principles, and is an able speaker. The annoyance which has lately been ex perienced here on the subject of the income tax has somewhat prejudiced the minds of the electors against that tax, and this will be taken advantage of by the op position party. TEWICESBUILY.—Fonr . candidates are likely to offer themselves for the representation of this small constitu ency. The two sitting members, Mr. Martin and Mr. H. Drown (both Liberals), offer themselves for re-election, and Mr. Cox (of the Northern Circuit) has pledged him self to c tme forward in the Conservative interest. A requisition ha • also been got up soliciting the Hon. F. Lygon, son of Earl Beauchamp, to allow himself to he put in nomination in the Conservative interest. There is a stroeg feeling here wi!h respect to Mr. Brown and his connection with the Royal British Bank. STROUD. —Mr. Horsman and Mr. Scrope have both intimated their intention to appeal to the electors of Stroud for a continuance of their suffrages. The nomi nation of a " third man," professing decided anti-In c mo tax principles, is t. , :reatened. WINDSOR.—Mr. Grenfel and Mr. S. Ricardo will again name falvard for Windsor, and Mr. Hope, Mr. Roberto, the banker, and Mr. Wm. Vansittart are an nounced as likely to oppose them, without, however, any vs ry great chance of success. NORTHAMPTONSHIRE.—Lord Altborp is about to COMO forward in the Liberal interest for South Northampton- shire. LYNN.-At Lynn Lord Stanley and Mr. J. H. Gurney not, it is presumed, be disturbed in their seats. NORFOLK.—Major-General Windham is reported as about to le brought forward as a Liberal candidate for West Norfolk. _ _ IVORWICH.—The vote given l y Mr. Warner, the Libe r d member for this city, against the Government, cn Tuesday niglit, has caused dissatisfaction among some of his constituents, although it has received approval from others. Thera has been'a rumour that the hon. gentle. man does not intend to offer himself for re-election ; but this appears t xtremely doubtful. GREAT YARMOUTH. --Here thera is every probability of a severe Contest. The Conservative candidates are t:oected to be Sir E. Lacon, one of the present mem bers, and the Hon, C. S. Veieker, who received pledges of support from the party some time since. The Liberal c indidates are Mr. T. S'l 4 3tillagh, and Mr. E Witkin, of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway ; and they bare i.aued an address to the electors. CHATHAM. Mr. IV. G. Romaine, C. 8., Depu ty-Judgo- Advocar o with the army lately servingin the Eaatl,:dirs, a Liberal in politic.,, has annutineed his intention of be- coming a candidate for the representation of the boroug h. In his a , idtes, just issued, he sap : " The dissolution has been brought about by the tempo rary union of certain public men, who, differing on all the great questions in politics, have nevertheless agreed to rick the welfare of their country in the hope of grasping place and power. Am I wrong in supposing you will con demn such conduct? I feel certain that you will not join in censuring officers who on the distant shores of China have sustained the honour of the British flag. You will not assist in driving from the helm the pilot who weathered the great Russian storm and brought the ship into a fair haven. You will not help to bring into office men who at the turning point of England's fortune would have made a cowardly and i gnominious peace with Russia. The coun try is now called upon to choose between Palmerston on the one hand. and Disraeli and Gladstone on the other. What is your answer?" . Mr. Romaine was a candidate for Chatham at the gene ral election in 1852, but then retired in favour of Ad miral Sir J. Stirling. DEVONPORT —Mr. J. Wilson will be a candidate for Devonport ; Gen. Berkeley retires, and Sir E. Perry's junction with the factions Opposition the other night has placed his seat in great danger. PLYMOLTR.—" Plymouth, we are glad to see," says the Western, Times. " will get rid of Mr. R. Palmer, and return two Liberals. North Devon has two members who are getting past senatorial labour. Mr. Buck, it is said, can never go up to Parliament again ; and Sir T. Acland, who is 70 years old, experiences the infirmities incidental to tbat advanced period 'of life. The Tories talk of bringing Sir S. Northcote forward for North De von, in the room of Mr. Buck, as a.rlight compliment to Mr. Gladst me, iu return for the services rendered by that able casuist, and in token of their peace with the Peelites. In South Devon Str J. Buller and Mr. Palk will, of course, be returned without opposition. Dart mouth may, perhaps, wrestle against Sir H. Seale s as cendancy, but in no other part of the county do we see any likelihood of a change.", CORNIVALL.—In East Cornwall there will be a cog test ; Mr. Rabarts And Mr. Kendall, the present mem bers, and Mr. Carew, are the candidates. In West Cornwall Mr. M. Williams will likely he re-elected, and Mr. Tremayue wid probably succeed Sir 0. Lemon, who, 1 it is understood, retires from his Parliarneatary duties. YORKSHIRE.--The constituents of the various Parlia mentary boroughs in the West Riding of Yorkshire have already begun to look out for the right men to send as their representatives in Parliament, and among a large portion of the inhabitants there is a strong determina tion to return such as will support the policy of Lord Palinerston's Government with reference to the Chinese question. First of all, as to the representation of the West Riding itself, there is not a shadow of a chance of Mr. Cobden being again elected, tee hon. gentleman's opinions of the war with Russia having decided his fate some time ago. Indeed, it is extremely doubtful whe ther Mr. Cobden will venture to come before the elec tors even to thank them for their past c infidence. So far, therefore, as the West Riding is concerned, the mover of the resolution which has had the effect of bringing about a dissolution will most undoubtedly not find his way. back again to St. Stephen's. Mr. E. Denison, the other member, will most likely be again elected. The probable successor of Mr. Cobden is nut yet known. Various gentlemen have been mentioned, including Sir John Ramsden, Lord Goderich, and the Right Hon. T. Baines, but no definite nomination has been made. It is said that Sir John Ramsden, who wll be supported by the Fitzwilliam interest, is likely to be preferred. At Leeds the capital of the Riding, there is every probability of the rc-election of the Right Hon. M. T. Baines, and a meeting is to be held on the 16th inst. for the purpose of taking steps to pre sent a requisition to Mr. Babies and to Mr. William Beckett, one of the present members for Ripon, who, although a Conservative, vote I with the Government against Mr. Cobden's resolution. Mr Robert Hall, bar rister, is also spoken of as a Conservative candidate ; and the name of Mr. S. Morley, of the Administrative Reform Association, has also been mentioned as a candi date on the Liberal interest. Sir George Goodman, in consequence of ill health, will not come forward again. At Bradford Mr. Robert Milligan will resign his seat, but Mr. 11. W. Wickham will again come for ward. ' Several names have been mentioned as those of probable candidates to succeed Mr. Mligan, among whom may be mentioned Major-Genei al Thompson, Mr. E. Ackroyd, of Denton and Hali!ax ; Mr. Titus SOUTH WALES. interest being so Salt, of Crow-nest; Mr. Wills en M urgatroyd , of BRECDNSIIIRE.—The Conservative Bankfield ; and Mr. H. W. Ripley, of Sighteldo. At strong in this county, it is rather improbable t hat an y Halifax, the present members, the Right Hon, opposition will be offered to the return of Sir J. Bailey, Sir Charles Wood and Mr. Frank Crossley, will Bart., although it is rumoured that Mr. De Winton, again be nom i na t e d.

SCOTLAND, LEITH BURGHS.—On Saturday afternoon the Lord- Advocate addressed a crowded meeting of his constitu ente in the Assembly-rooms, Leith ; Provost Taylor in the chair. The Lord Acl vocete entered into -a general defence of the policy of Lord Palmerston, and expressed his Leiref that the country was of opinion oot only that the vote of the House of Commons in regard to China was not well grounded in itself, but that the circumstances under which that vote was given, and the parties from whom it proceeded, to far from weakening the hold which Lord Palmerstoo's Go vernment had en the people, ought more properly to strengthen. it. His lordship allu led to the course adopted towards Persia as another proof of the firtnneQs and vigour f Lord Palmer-ton, and proceeded to allude to various matters of domestic legislation, and to the great industrial and commercial prosperity that existed. A. resolution of confidence in Lord Palmerston's Govern ment was adopted. DUNDEE—RESIGNATION OF Mn. GEORGE DUNOAN, M.P.—A. special meeting of the Dundee Town Council was held yesterday afternoon at half-past two o'clock. Provost Esvan, who occupied the chair, intimated that the meeting had been called in consequence of a letter he had just received from their re -pective representative, Mr. Duncan, intimating his intention to resign the Office he had so long, so honourably, and so satisfactorly filled, The Provost then read the letter, which was dated "House of Commons, March sth;" and in 'which Mr. Dun can; after referring to the approaching dissolution of Parliament, said—" It is not my 'intention to ask a rc. newel of the trust rep"sed in me for so many years by my fellow-townsmen. Allow me to offer to you, to the Magistrates and Town Council, my sincere and grateful -thanks for your attention and kindness to me in all public matters I have bad to conduct while inernher for the burgh during your tenure of office. I beg to add that you are the only one to whom I have communicated this resolve of mine, so that no candidate for the vacancy can have it in his power to say that I have in any-way compromised the full and free elective power of my many friends in Dundee." Mr. Duncan concluded by expressing a hope that the burgh of Dundee might con tinue to prosper as it bad done since he was elected in 1841. The Provost after referring to the exemplary manner in which Mr. Duncan had peformer; hie duties, said he was confident that the entire community wool i come forward and request Mr. Duncan to reconside his resolution, in order that they might have the benfit of his valuable services for come time to come. The Provost con cluded by proposing the following resolution :—"That the Council express to Mr. Duncan their continued high sense of the able and efficient manner in which he has for 16 years dienbarged .his important dutiea as member for the burgh, and their unabated confidence in him." The resolution was seconded by Dean of Guild Smith, and carried by acclamation. Bailie Mackay proposed the following resolution, which was seconded by Coun cillor Rollo, and also unanimously adopted That the Provost be requested to communicate to Mr. Dun can the resolution just adopted, and that the Council farther request the Provost to call a meeting of the elec tors on an early day, in order to afford them an opportu nity of taking Mr. Duncan's letter into consideration?' The Council then adjourned. The above resolutions were forwarded to Mr. Duncan yesterday afternoon. It is considered doubtful, however, whether they will have the effect of inducing him to alter Lis decision, although in the event of his stoing so, his re-election without oppo sition, would be certain, so universal is the satisfaction felt by the constituency as to the manner in which they have been represented by Mr. Duncan. - GREENOCK—RESIGNATION OF MR. DIINLOP.—We are favoured with a third edition of the Greenock Advertiser of yesterday, containir , a letter from Mr. Du i lop t o Mr. Hunter, Provost of Greenock, intimating that In will not come forward at the next e'ection. Mr. Duid,ip defends at length his vote against Ministers on the Chinese question, ar.d says : _ " When I came to the resolution to vote as I 'did, I had likewise to form another, which I have now to make known to my constituents. I had- for some time been hesitating as to whether I should offer myself as a candi date for next Parliament. Prior to my meeting with my constituents last autumn, I had nearly resolved not again to do so. The universal heartiness of my reception on that occasion, even by those who hal formerly opposed 1 me, led me to pause ; but in deciding the question of my recent vets, I was compelled to decide this question also. I had no relations with any of the political parties in the house who are opposed to the Government, and I desired to have none. By voting against the Government on a motion so vitally affecting their-existence, I saw that I would necessarily place myselt in a position of isolation which, were I to continue in Parliament, would be most painful to my feelings, and might greatly mar, if not de stroy, my usfeulness as a member. I therefore resolved that on the first occasion of a dissolution, I would retire from public life ; and on that event taking place, I shall solicit a final meeting with my constituents, that I may take leave of them, and in person offer them the thaws of a grateful heart, for the kindness, forbearance, and in dulgence which I have received at their hands while I have been their representative, in which character I have at least striven to the utmost to do my duty to them, and have not, I trust, altogether discredited their choice." In another letter to Provost Hunter, Mr. Dunlop says " I owe so greats- debt of gratitude to the constituency of Greenock, that if the suddenness of the announcement should expose them to inconvenience or disadvantage in selecting a successor, I should feel bound, if they still con fided in me, and desired it, to accept the seat temporarily, till they were prepared for a new choice ; but I do not au• ticipate that there will be any occasion for this." TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—The Observer having stated that I am to retire from the city of London, I will feel obliged by your allowing me to contradict such a repot', and to state that at the proper time I will present myself with coo& dance for re-election.—Yours faithfully, Sunday Night. J. DUKE. The folbwing address has been presented to Lord Palmerston by the principal firms connected with the trade to China. Its importance will be appreciated by all who are conversant with the standing of the mercan tile heu3es of London : "THE 'RIGHT HON. THE VISOOI7NT PALMERSTON, M.P., &c. " London, March 5. " My Lord,—We, the undersigned merchants of the city of London, engaged in trade with the East, beg leave to address your Lordship to offer the expression of our cor dial thanks for the firmness which you have displayed in upholding the honour of Great Britain, and in a determina tion to protect the lives and property of British subjects, peaceably engaged in commercial intercourse with China. "We lament the collision, causing the destruction of life and property, which has occurred, and we are under grave apprehensions that still further difficulties and dis asters will be created by the late adverse vote in the House of Commons. "We therefore look confidently to your Lordship to devise measures calculated to protect our friends and fel low-countrymen, and to extricate us honourably from the present painful state of things in China. " In pursuing these great objects we trust you will not be deterred by what has occurred from continuing to main tain a firm anti dignified attitude until all treaty obliga tions are fulfilled, and our commercial relations with China placed on a permanent footing of security and peace.
