"' . l ~-' , , ' triening .-'-ltit LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 31, 1847. - Wolverhampton and Bradford have profited by the famous recommendation which was lately wafted to !England from the amphibious city of the Adriatic. Mr.. COBDEN spoke to the constituencies of the United Kingdom from the distance of Venice, but bis voice has reverberated over the islands. Every Tensible opponent of the Protectionist doctrines has rtscognised the truth of his assertion, that the victory of free-trade is as yet only partially achieved. The electors of Wolverhampton and Bradford have re spanded to the declaration of the convalescent orator, by returning two of the most eminent of his colleagues in the warfare carried on fur so many year's against the prejudices of the agricultu rists, and the misapprehensions of the general community. They have proceeded further ; they have returned, in conjunction with those distin guished benefactors of the country, two men ani mated with principles of consistent liberality. Re mir,bering the gratitude which is due from the na thin to the Hon. CHARLES PELHAM VILLIERS for his bad and persevering advocacy of the anti-corn-law agiltation in the British Legislature during those pro longed days when the restrictive policy P was redo mi'mant, we heartily rejoic e d th a t h e was not insulted by :any opposition in seeki ng the suffrages of lVol ve rharnpton; and, rememb er i ng the ardour with w i tich during three Parliaments h e has fought th e . good fi g ht o f the people in the h va •of the constitutional reformers, we are la gr s tifled that his name is connected with that of a sta tilla Liberal like Mr. THORNELY in the represen tati on of 'Wolverhampton. Annually did the Hon. CH ARLES VILLIERS move for the abolition of the edit ma enactments against the importation of foreign gra in—annually did he brave, almost alone, the con tun *lies, and the derision, and the animosities of a pot need and intemperate bigotry. Against odds tha tt would have discouraged any man less satisfied wit.h the ete rna l j us ti ce o f the cause of which he was thethat sp i okesman, or less sustained by a moral intrepidity graved all the taunts of Ministerial authority and a ll the indignation of those who trembled for the elt !struction of their . own selfish interests, Mr. VIE La .Its persist e d in raising his periodical protests, and is . delivering his c time yearly orations. When the triu hat last came this forem champion of free trad -foremost i n regar d t even when com pare el with Mr. C OBDEN , as MrCOB eloqu ence an d DEN is possess e d of ti se undisputed priority in regard to aud: tce;,ty, even when brought i ntoo is mparison w ith t h e numerous and brilliant array of c his tcoolleagues— atros re in no manner wh a t ever to :himself the credit of the arrogate a ment. • I n the enthusiasm of the moment ieve his /11 el its and his services were apparently forgotten . They vi ill survive, however , in history, and futur e hist ;oria ns will record, in the language of commenda steer, the Parliamentary career and political exertions of 'this modest and incorruptible patriot. Another memorable leader in the struggle for the em oncipation of commerce has likewise received the rev; 'ard of his honourabie labours in behalf of the wo eking classes. Colonel PERRONET TnomrsoN is on e e a more a M em b er o f th e H ous e of Commons— b g a successful candidate, with a brother Liberal, Mr. 13 c 4 rEILD, at the election for the re p resentation of L iradford.

PERRONET Tuomr- SON. Regardless of personal convenience, and indif farent to the storms of virulence and vituperation, be undertook the championship of the free-trade dogmas when free-trade was a byeword in t' e land. When the advocacy of the permanent opening of he ports was little less perilous in regard to a man's re putation than a forlorn hope is to his body, Colonel THOMPSON seized the standard of the outcast free-traders, and cheered them onwards in the mur derous cannonading of their antagonists. He was the BONAPARTE of free-trade, at the Arcola of protec tion. But the weapons he employed in conquering the opponents of the people were the innocuous weapons of logic and rhetoric. He flooded the whole land with his arguments in pamphlets, in broadsides, in speeches, in letters, in addresses, in every one of the different forms of circulating literature, whereby the truths of philosophy and of political economy are made accessible even to the artizan in his workshop. Bradford has remunerated these long and arduous services of the veteran Reformer, and has returned Colonel PEERONET THOMPSON as its repre sentative in the new Parliament. Birmingham has acted in a similar spirit of loyalty to the popular party by re-electing Mr. G. F. MUNTZ, and associating with him Mr. W. SCHOLETIELD. Canterbury has also in a great measure been actuated by a similar enthusiasm by returning the Hon. GEORGE SYDNEY SMYTHE and Lord ALBERT CO• NYNGHAM ; for, notwithstanding his panegyric upon an ideal kind of Toryism, we cannot regard Mr. SMYTHE as anything else but a gradual Reformer. Cheltenham, in proving itself ungrateful to a man who has represented it with the most consistent li berality during the fifteen years it has been invested with the elective franchise, has resigned itself to the power of a Conservative nullity in the person of Sir WILLOUGHBY JONES. The inhabitants of Cheltenham have, in fact, by their rejection of the Hon. CRAVEN BERKELEY (a Radical at heart), laid themselves open to a disgraceful suspieon in connexion with his remarks upon the liealths of Towns Bill. They appear to have ousted the Liberal candidate out of a petty affection for the reputation of the town ; they have sacrificed the interests of the nation to the in terests of their own selfish littleness. Greenwich, the Tower Hamlets, Lambeth, Marylebone, Stroud, Reading, Taunton, and Manchester have, on the contrary, looked with a nobler forethought to the advantage of the entire community. Each of those boroughs has returned men who are Liberal to the backbone. We congratulate Sergeant TALFOURD upon his re-instalment among the national representatives, while we regret the con tinued rejection of Sir BULWER LYTTON by the electors of Lincoln, out of a partiallity for a hirsute droll like Colonel SIBTHORP. Liverpool has crowned the success of the Liberal candidates by the trium phant return of Sir T. BIRCH as a Member of the Popular Parliament. the follies and absurdities of their leaders, and to bJwail the sad results of their senseless divisions. We find the following m a letter from Rome, ki4ted July 21 : Rome is recovering from its fright, but the indiAna tion and exasperation of the people against the authors of the infernal conspiracy is difficult to describe. There have been public prayers to render thanks to Heaven for having preserved the population of this capital from so great a danger. Another incident has this day arisen to plunge the people into stupor, and to make known to us that the plot was concocted at Vienna. You remember the famous meeting of certain cardinals and prelates at the house of the Ambassador of Austria. The instinct of the people rarely deceives itself I You know what the people thought of it, and what it desired ; and you know box Ciceronachia succeeded in calming the effer vescence and saving those very cardinals who, ten days later, were to have plunged Rome and the State into mourning. Well ! the mask is taken off. The very day of the execution of the Austro-Lambruschinian plan in Rome, the Austrians were to commence by invadiig Ferrara. The conspiracy was thwarted, as you know, on the 15th ; but the Austrians could not expect this providential dbuyientent, still less could they have re ceived notice of it. On the 16th, therefore, 1,200 Aus trians entered Ferrara. The good legate, Cardinal ' Ciachi, protested vigorously. The commanlant was as tonished at the resistance of the governor, and asked if he had not received news and instructions from Rome. The governor replied in the negative, and persisted in his protest against so flagrant al vio lation of the territory of the Holy See. In short, the Austrian troops returned to their quarters. The Bilancia, in giving details relative to the conspiracy, spoke of the intention of the Austrians to occupy the town of Ferrara on the 16th. This journal dared, and FINE ARTS. PORTRAIT OF LIEUT. WAGHORN, R.N. An admirable and characteristic likeness of this eminent man, from the original painting by Sir G. Hayter, has just been published, and will be regarded with profound interest by many thousands. To the superficial observer the labours of Lieutenant Wag horn may appear as merely a natural and necessary sequence of the vast rail way speculations which are rapidly covering the surface of the globe with a network of iron. To those who look onwards to the future, and estimate the conduct of a public character with intelligence and discrimination —viewing him rather in his influence upon the age in which he lives, than in his individual peculiarities,—Mr. Waghorn assumes a more important and more dignified position. With his name is associated the progress and im pulsion under his guidance channelsl i d for the flowing of a civi puzli s n i g o n areo intercourse, f b civilisation eing pto o:n n de fro, between the most bar barous and the most cultivated races. Time and dis tance have been con*ered by the etearn-engine ; it has been the ambition of Lieutenant Waghorn to turn that conquest to advantage, by bringing the most remote inhabitants of Asia and Europe into compa rative proximity. Watt, by his genius of construc tion, created a machine, almost gifted with vitality ; Waghorn, by his genius of contrivance, is affording that vast and marvellous power opportunities for its development. These things are being recognised by every enlightened man in the world ; one of the most enlightened princes on the face of the globe—Pope Pius IX.—has afforded Lieutenant Waghorn a bril liant token of his approbation, by personally present ing to him, on the 7th of January last, a gold medal of his most memorable pontificate. A representation of this interesting gift from the Liberator of Italy 'is given under the engraved likeness of Lieutenant Waghorn, and affords an appropriate embellishment to the portrait of one cf the most practical of the pro moters of the advancement and enlightenment of the human family. the censor permitted it to give, this grave news of an attempt at Austrian intervention in the States of the Church. This news caused a profound sensation. The coincidence of the dates, the entrance of the Austrians, at the same time that troubles were to have made the streets of Rome run with blood, fully prove that an ably combined plan had been prepared in advance. This in tervention would have been justified in the eyes of Europe by the disturbances themselves. But God, the Pope, and the population of Rome, disposed otherwise. The conspiracy has been baffled, and the Austrians have been unmasked in the eyes of the most incredulous, and now behold them and their Roman accomplices, ecclesiastic and laic, devoted to the execration of the world. There is no doubt that on the same day, and at the same hour, disturbances would have broken out in all the towns of the Roman States; it would have been the fête which would have been celebrated in all the State! The Bilancia records an attempt which was made in the church of Bologna, whilst the preacher was holding forth on the occasion of the anniversary of the amnesty. The details are long. Arrests of the conspi rators continue. Very important papers have been seized. A new placard, bearing the names of the Cardi nals mixed up in the conspiracy, has been stuck up. The names are those of their Excellencies Mon signors Lambruschini, Bernetti, Dellagenga, Mattei, Vanicelli, Count Lutzof, Ambassador of Austria, and Count Ludolt, Ambassador of Naples; her Royal High ness Marie Louise of Parma, del Caretto. It appears that these names were remarked and divulged by the persons who arrested the conspirators, and seized their papers. The list is thought correct, because that which was stuck up on the 16th was exact. The exiled Go verner of Rome has arrived at Naples. Cardinal Fer retti signified to him in these terms his order of exile: —' Two hours' time are accorded to the Abbe Grasse lint to quit the territory of the States of the Church.' A celebrated spy, Minardi, was arrested yesterday. More than ten thousand men traced him from house to house from six o'clock in the evening until midnight. The effervescence was so great that Father Ventura had to harangue the people. The celebrated preacher was reconducted to his own residence by the people, carrying torches, and shouting 'Long life to Cardinal Ventura!' This is the first time in which a Cardinal RAIL WAY RETURNS RAILWAY TRAFFIC.—The following are the Total ways for the past week—that is to say, up to the respective returns are made, together with the re, week in the previous year:— Many extraordinary addresses have been presented to constituencies during the excitement and heat of a general election, but it has seldom fallen to our lot to peruse one more essentially sui generis than that which has just been issued to the electors of the county of Limerick by the recognised leader of the Young Irelanders, the quondam martyr of the cellar. He declares that " for a considerable time it has been his settled wish to withdraw altogether from the British Parliament." It is much to be regretted that the Hon. Gentleman should so long have done violence to his inclinations, and sacrificed his per sonal comforts to the good of his country. It is just possible that the business of the country might have been carried on, and that even the interests of Ireland might have been attended to, though the physical force advocate had disdained to waste his energies on a foreign legislature, and had refused to cast the priceless jewel of his eloquence before the Saxon swine. He has made the notable discovery that he could serve Ireland better as a private individual than as an isolated Member of Parliament, and therefore he cannot with sincerity profess that he is desirous to retain a seat in the House of Com mons. We confess that we were deceived for a moment by the nature of this opening, and conceived that it was intended as a justification for his with drawal from the suffrages of the constituency. This, however, was altogether a mistake—it was merely a pretty coyness intended to increase the ardour of the nalitical nolo eniscopari, which he would have been sorry tl have seen accepted in its Literal sense. He hastens, accordingly, to assure them that he is not very hard-hearted, but is prepared to yield to the prayers and intreaties that he is satisfied will be addressed to him, and, as he has been informed, "that a large majority of the electors are desirous that he should continue to represent them, he declares that if such really be their wishes, he does not feel himself at liberty to ask them to re frain from carrying it into effect." Poor bashful young man, it is indeed hard to have greatness thrust upon you, with such unrelenting violence, that you cannot even utter one single petition for mercy—one humble prayer for exemption from the dreaded con tact with the Saxon and the stranger, or, still worse, with the Irish repealers, who consent to a temporary armistice, and do not incessantly hurl their hitter defiance at the devoted heads of the English Ministry. In one sense this tristful lamentation may be looked upon as indicative of the gloomy prospects of the Young Ireland party at the forthcoming elec tions. The hero of Cahirmoyle has no hope of even a single congenial associate. If returned, in the lan guage of his own touching jeremiad, be will be " an isolated Member." What! is there not sufficient energy in the young blood of Ireland ? Is there not such con fidence in the popularity of their cause as to induce them to make one single effort in any of the counties, cities, or boroughs, abandoned without a contest to ultra-Tories, Ministerialists, or mean-spirited moral force repealers, who would not appeal to arms, even in support of the nationality of their green island ? It is, indeed, a pitiable topic, and one that demands a general sympathy with the deserted chief. Whether that compulsion and force will be applied which the ex-martyr seems to calculate on is another question. Mr. MONSELL, of Tervoe, who, if he has not already joined the ranks of the Conservative Repealers, appears to be coquetting on their very confines, is in the field, and the moral force men in sist that Mr. CALEB POWELL should again be re turned. The various sections into which the once united body have been divided will thus be brought into collision in that happy county, and fierce indeed will be the contest, for has been reserved in pelt° by the Pope and the people.

The obiect of the Bank directors is clearly to keep out foreign loans, and induce caution in corn, cotton, and other speculations, and so far the country benefits ultimately by the disagreeable necessity. The bullion is still at a point which may be reduced without danger by one or two millions, and foreigners, if they send us grain on their own account, must be prepared to take payment to a liberal extent in goods, or keep their corn at home. The acaretty of money just now checks remittances to the continent, and bills of exchange are supported in value upon most of the continental cities. Referring to the exchanges, the editor of the Bankers' Magazine writes that— " The decline in the continental exchange which had begun to manifest itself at the date of our last review continued throughout the greater part of the month, until it reached a point only just above that when bullion becomes the cheapest remittance. At that limit, how• ever, it has (at present, at least) come to a pause. A small shipment of gold—some 30,0001. or 40,0001.—has been paid to America, where the last quotation was 1054 to 106 i. But it is not expected that the advises now due will bring a rate of exchange and a scale of corn prices favourable to any further remittance of gold from hence. For the present, therefore, we appear to have got over our drain of bullion. We are greatly beholden, however, to the salutary influence on the continental ex change of the Russian purchase of British Funds. The demand of the Russian Government for bills on Eng land, to the extent of two millions (or whatever may have been the exact amount), has afforded most important relief, in taking off the excess of paper in the northern Darts - The letters received from Brazil by the Express packet, describe trade as being dull, and shipping very scarce.

Another letter, from the same place, of the 24th July, gives the following additional particulars of the occupation of Ferrara by the Austrians :—On the 14th a battalion of Crotians, 900 strong, marched unexpectedly from Verona, and reached, in less than 42 hours, Santa Maria Magdalena, overpowered by heat and fatigue. In the meantime a squadron of Hungarian cavalry, with three pieces of flying artil lery, proceeded from Rovigo, and arrived on the 16th, at Vallice, opposite Francolino. Those troops having effected their junction, occupied the passages of the Po during the night, and early on the following morning they sent across small parties in boats, as it were to reconnoitre. The remainder of the corps shortly afterwards passed the river, and, after adopt ing military precautions usual in campaign, advanced on Ferrara, from which they were distant only four or five miles. At half-past seven o'clock they entered the city, and, having halted on the principal square, one-half of the column repaired to the citadel, and the other to the two barracks of Ferrara. The people, surprised by their appearance, looked on in silence, and confined itself to the cry of " Viva Pius IX !" Madrid Papers of the 24th have been received. The Progressistas have been fortunate in the elec tions. One-third of the Members returned to the provincial Deputation belong to that party. The QUEEN'S troops dispersed a band of Carlists near Manresa on the 16th. Senor SALAMANCA and General CORDOVA left Madrid on the 24th for La Granja. MADRID BoLSA, JULY 24.—The Three per Cents. were done at 27 fur cash; the Five per Cents. at 174, and the Debt without interest at 5i.. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. Up to the hour of post the fetes had passed off quietly, and there was every prospect of the public tranquillity remaining undisturbed. The following article, contrasting the state of France, on the 29th of .July, 1830, with that of France on the 29th of July, 1847, is well worthy the attentive consideration of the " powers that be." " When Greek meets Greek, then comes the tug of war," and obstinate must, be the encounter between such doughty champions. " The 29th of July, 1830 ! In whatever place you be, comrades, happy or unhappy, you will iecal with transport the sound of your footsteps in the vast halls of the Tuileries, and the aspect of that throne, occupied by a mere corpse, and those visible signs of vanquished power rent in pieces by your hands, but which hands, nevertheless, respected and preserved with care all those monuments of history which did not insult you ! What a spectacle ! Marmont flying from Paris, through streets unpaved and by walls impregnable ! All the public monuments open and guarded by the public faith —the people alone masters. No police—no Government —Hot a lamp lighting, and nut one act of dilapidation— not one offence against property or morality ! Every where citizens in crowds, without di s ti nct i on o f c l asses , united by the same love of country, by the same senti ment .of right, strength, and mo d era ti on ! I n t h ese behold that which was popular victory ! Behold that which the monarchical lees (debritus) calls by the name of anarchy ! What have we to-day ? What have they substituted for that effusion of patriotism—for that union of hearts—for that palpitation of the noblest of hopes ? That which you have seen. Poland and Italy deceived, betrayed. The tricoloured flag folded up in its ease as a coward—violent laws against the press— against the association of citizens. Egotism in its ut most possible extreme. The hideous worship of money. The dilapidation of principles as of finances—that, in fine, which you ha.. e before your eyes,--' for which,' as Bossuet said, `there is no word in any lant-zuage—All that is order I—and the Paris of July 29, 1830, was anarchy ! " Oh, holy anarchy I—inay all good citizens embrace with all their love ! Let them be neither blasphemous nor ingrates in rendering victory responsible tor, or the a c complice of the jugglers of the following day." The following is the reply of the Archbishop of PARIS to a deputation of young men, who waited on him to request that a funeral oration might be pro nounced on Mr. O'CONNELL Mayo and Kilkenny counties also are torn by in testine commotions, while Repealers in excess offer ' themselves for the most sweet voices of the voters, and wage a fierce internecine war. Cork city also presents a similar instance of civil dissension, the former Repeal Members being opposed by another,who wavers between the charms of Conciliation Hall and the Rotunda, and, like a political Macheath, chants to the rival sirens— " How happy could I be with either, Were t'other dear charmer away; But while you both tease me together, To neither one word will I say," - - - t o either and who, accordingly, has not as y et given hi e sad e; hesion, or the monopoly of his affections exclusively. But, to be serious once more. How soon will the seek to act i n un i son an d con cord for the benefit o - Irish peopl e se t as id e th e ir own paltry disputes, and f their fatherland. A golden opportunity is now be fore them which, if once suffered to escape, may never be restored. If due advantage is taken of it, if the hands of the Ministry —by whom every important con cession hasbcen made tolreland,who are actuated by the most friendly feelings towards her, and whose chief Idesire is to place her on a footing of perfect equality with England, to promote a real and lasting union hetween the countries, based on mutual advantage, to encourage, by every means, the full development of the national resources of Ireland, and to elevate her in the social scale—are strengthened and supported, all these desirable e n d s w il l be attained, and prospercus and happy Ireland will at length be come what she ought to be.— " A similar request has been already addressed to me by a distinguished personage. The custom of deliver ing funeral orations being long abolished in France, and only one exception having been made of late in favour of my predecessor, I had thought proper not to revive that custom. I concur in ail your sympathies for tl,e pacific agitator of Ireland, and my admiration of that a . great m an i s on l y equa ll e d by my regrets.

Yesterday morning, between the hours of two and three, Strand-on-the-green, Chiswick, was visited with one of the most alarming and destructive conflagrations that has occurred in that neighbourhood for a long time past. From inquiries made, it appeared that the first discovery was made by a police-constable of the T division, at which period a large timber building, 80 feet long by 30 feet wide, the property of Mr. Duer, but un tenanted, was wrapped in a general blaze. The officer immediately raised an alarm in the usual way, and after some trouble he succeeded in arousing the inmates of the surrounding houses. Ile had scarcely done so be fore the flames had communicated to the dwelling house of Mr. Harradine,- a barge-builder, and from thence ne arly 50 feet long and 20 b roa d. O w i ng to t h e to another timber building, the property of the same party, inflammable nature of the premises, the fire extended with such teariul rapidity as to threaten destruction to the whole neighbourhood. With all possible expedition two parish engines arrived, followed by a private one one from Kew. The machines were without loss of time set to work from the River Thames, and a powerful stream water was thrown upon the burning property, but without subduing in the least degree the destructive elemtnt. The tire still progressing, a mounted police man was sent up to London for the fire brigade, and forthwith the engine from King -street, Regent-street. ,tarted to the scene of the confiaeration, when the fire men tound the premises in which the flames began, toirether with a loft between 80 and 90 feet long. and a number of other similar buildings, levelled with the ground. After some trouble the parish engineers and London firemen got out what remained of the fire, but not until a deal of Other property, beside that stated above was destroyed.

CITY OF LONDON SCHOOL.—The annual examina tion of scholars and distribution of prizes of the City of Londim School, took place yesterday in the theatre of the school, Milk-street, cheapside. The Right Hon. the Lord Alayor presided. There were also present a large number of aldermen and influential City merchants. The proceedings commenced with an address by Dr. Mortimer, the head master of the school, in which he gave an account of the present state of the school, by which it appeared that there were at present upwards of 600 scholars in the schools, the maximum number allowed, and that there were now upwards of seventy applications on the books for admission. The prizes were then delivered with suitable remarks ; and several gentlemen spoke in terms of satisfaction touching the mode in which the benefits of the Institujon were conferred. SINGULAR ACCIDENT BY SWALLOWING A STONE. —Yesterday an accident of a most remarkable character occurred to a boy, named Henry Wallace, aged four teen years, whose parents reside at Bexley, ikcot, and from the peculiar nature of the case it is considered one which may terminate fatally. It seems that the unfor nate boy is the con of respectable parents, carrying on business at Bexley, Kent. He left home for some pur pose, and whilst amusing himself on the way be care lessly picked up a small stone, which he placed in his mouth, where it remained until he commenced running along the road with considerable speed. After he had pro4ressed some distance he suddenly stopped, as he found that he had swallowed the stone, which he en deuveured to bring tip, but his ofiorts were all in vain. He returned t o h is father's residence, where he informed the family of w h a t h a d taken place. They were much alarmed, as he became unwell and breathed with great difficulty. A surgeon was called, who, after a careful examination, suggested his imme diate removal to Guy's Hospital, where he was at once seen by Mr. Edward Cock and other eminent gentlemen. The stone is still in the trachea, and at prese nt he remains in a very favourable condition, under the care of Mr. Beaumont, the assistant-surgeon for the pi eseet week. The election returns up to this date show an in crease to the Liberal party, deducting the Tory acces sion of about twenty members. HIDD EN TREASURE.

Ten o'clock was the time fixed by Mr. G. Onslow, the returning officer of the borough, for the official dt clara tion of the poll. Long before that hour Kennington common exhibited all the usunl bustle and crowds attendant upon a con tested election. The supporters of Mr. C. Pearson, with pink and white colours, seemed fully alive to the impor tance of the victory they had achieved, and, joined by the friends of Mr. D'Eyncourt, gave expression to their feelings of exultation with all the pride of glorious triumph. Shortly after ten o'clock Mr. D'Eyncourt and Mr. Charles Pearson made their appearance on the hustings, and were received with loud and long•continued demon strations of applause. About eleven o'clock, Mr. Onslow, the returning officer, came forward, and said that it would be quite unpossible for him to complete the casting up of the returns before half-past twelve o'clock at least, and if any of the electors wished to go away and amuse them selves on the common, they were at full liberty to do so. A considerable number of persons accordingly took ad vantage o this announcement, and occupied their weary hours with " three throws for a penny" at snuff-boxes and other articles, which the more enterprising of the Lambethians had provided as a source of amusement to the public and profit to themselves. Othf ra preferring more substantial enjoyments, rushed helter skelter to the Horns Tavern, where, partaking of liberal potations of " heavy wet," they discussed the merits of the several candidates, and warmly expressed their opinions as to the policy, past and future, of those placed in authority over them. o,t j do—(Efis , os and cheers) ::.:(7.r(ling - to the beet o: his belief. has de„..v.}ur.d d., more en rvic e ; (Cheers; a voice, " How about the wages?") ---I heard, and I now hear it again, some cry about wages.

I'. D'Eyncourt 3,708 Benjamin Hawes, Esq. ... 3,344 It was, therefore, his duty to declare Charles Pearson, Esq., and the Right. Hon. Charles Tennyson D'Eyn court as Members to represent the borough of Lambeth in the ensuing parliament. The announcement was received with tremendous cheering. Mr. Hawes appeared on the hustings and heard the result with the greatest composure. CHARLES PEARS 'N, Esq., then came forward to ex press his thanks for the honour conferred upon him. His forte lay more in the conflict than in victory; and he hoped, therefore, that they would forgive him it he wanted words sufficient to express his thanks. — (Cheers.) It was his determination to redeem the pledges he had made. They all bad a lesson that, how ever worthily a man might perform his duties, would, if he lost the confidence of the people, be unable to sus tain his ground with the electors of Lambeth, and he hoped that the country would not lose the valuable ser vices, as Colonial Secretary, of his Hon. Friend whom he had now supplanted in the affections of the people of Lambeth.—(Loud cheers.) He felt deeply grateful to all the members of the committee for the kindness they had done him, but more especially for the display of those principles on his behalt which they had entrusted him to carry out. He felt satisfied that having received so many marks of favour from the electors of Lambeth that it would be unnecessary for him to do otherwise than to cut short what he had to say to them on the pre. sent occasion. He would say, with respect to his sup potters splitting their votes at an early period of the day, that they had acted only in conformity with their 2ledges that they would continue to give him plumpers until they thought that he was perfectly safe. But with respect to what they did, he personally knew nothing, and had not by word, by message, or by gesture, re commended such a course of conduct. In conclusion, he thanked the returning officer for the ability with which he had discharged the various duties of his office, and hoped that when they met again it would be upZin groundsthheicshanmoewactuated them.—( L oud anednit.—hems(aimaeupprilnaucispel.l principles as those w 1.1 r....YNCOura then came for ward, and said that he understood a report had been cir- culated to the effect that unfair play had been used to wards Mr. Hawes.—(A ►oice—" Hear, hear.") Yes, let them hear him. Mr. HAWES—That " hear" did not come from me. Mr. VEYNCOURT was glad to hear that observation from his Hon. Friend. He felt convinced that fifteen years of close and affectionate friendhip with that gen tleman had fully induced that gentleman to believe that he :(Mr. D'Eyncourt) was not capable of acting with anything like trickery on his part towards him. He as sured them that neither directly or indirectly had he had any connexion with Mr. Pearson's cone. mittee. "He most deeply regretted that any cir cumstances should have arrived to separate him from his Hon. Friend, Mr. Hawes, whose talents well fitted him for a much higher sphere of usefulness in the Government than that which he at present occupied. He was aware that this was a poor compl ment to Mr. Hawes, but other and even larger constituencies had already very plainly hinted to her Majesty's Govern ment their dislike of the course lately pursued by the Government. The Tower Hamlets, Edinburgh, Not tingham, had spoken very plainly on the subject, and he hoped tnat the Government would take warning by that voice, and amend their Education Bill, extend the suffrage of the people, and withhold their hands from he unconstitutional and centralising system now fast spreading over the country.—(Loud cheers.) 'With re spect to the colleague they had given him he had no doubt that he would be industrious, and as he had kindly promised to make up for his defects and abience, ne, on the other hand, as the older Mcxaber. would make up for him what his youth and inexperience might require in the performance of his duties. — (Laughter and cheers.) Mr. Pearson said he would work double time now, if he (Mr. D'Eyncourt) would single time. They would then have as good as three representatives for the borough of Lambeth.—(Laughter and cheers.) Hu hoped to be able again to meet them very shortly. Ile hoped at a period not more distant than throe years.—(Cheers.) And he toped, that upon that occasion, so far as he was concerned, that he should justify the choice they had made. He hoped _that they would, upon his account, patiently hear the address of his late hon. colleague, Mr. Hawes. Mr. IlAwEs then came forward, and was received with hisses and other sorts of disapprobation. He said, Gen tlemen, I shall adhere, in the few observations which I have to address to you, to that rule which I have pre scribed for myself throughout the whole of this conflict —throughout the whole excitement of the contest—that rule which has forbidden me to carry into a political contest anything like personal bitterness or animosity; and I may to-day, I think—the defeated candidate—l may say that if any of you have felt anger and aninmsity, let let those feelings, at least, be buried altogether, and let none of these angry results of a contested election affect the revolution of what has passed in the course of the last few days—(Cheers). Adhering, then, to that rule, and strictly confining myself to general and public topics, and not wishing my Right Honourable Friend, and the Honourable Gentleman who has been elected now as your Member, to understand for one mo ment, that if I make any comment at all whiyh sa vours of personality, it is other than founded upon public principles and public principles alone.— (Cheers and laughter.) I stand before you, then, a defeated candidate, but not dishonoured.—(Cheers.) I am cieprived of the high and proud position which I re cently held among you. lam resentful to none who have taken a part in committing that act, which I, as an individual, and w ith a ll humility, dam to be an act of injustice.—(Cheers.) I am n o t go i ng t o ma k e an y childish complaints about it. I have fought the battle manfully, and I may yet do so again, and therefore do not suppose for a moment that I shall shrink upon this occasion from vindicating icy principles at,d conauct to that great body of electors v.ho have come forward so independently and honourably to sup. port me.—(Cheers.) I stat , d on a former occasion that I would state what I deemed to be the cause ot the failure of my election, and in doing so I shall disappoint seine of ) ou. I shall disappoint, I am afraid, the Honourable Gentleman who has supplanted ma io your confidence, for I shall not call it a " triumph of principle."—(A voice, "It is.") I shall call it a triumph of " a lucky acci dent."—(Oh, oh, and laughter.) And I will tell this peat meeting the reasons, clearly and shortly, why I take the liberty to say so.—(Bravo and cheers, mingled with hisses.) I was engaged in the tib;:orbirg and lato nous duties ef Parliami nt ; and I will say, even though it savours of a boast, in the discharge , :f the duties of an office, than which none motel ibortous, I will veiittir, to say is within the girt of the Minister of the Crean.-- (Cheers.) And while I was discharging my public duties (Mind, I don't complain of it, I am simply stat ing the fact-), tart while I was discharging my public duties, the Hon. Gentleman, who has attained the highest distinction in ibis borough to which he can attain, wars successfully arranging his election, anti planning his return. There was another cause, one upori which I am anxi,ats to addrefs a few words to the working cla , ses of this great borongh. You are aware of the, vast increase of voters for this borough which has talon place upon the register within the lust year or two ; a very large pro portion of that class could have known nothing of nie— (Cries of "Oh, oh, quite enough ")—and what tittle they did know upon which they could decide as to my merits arose from what had been told them, as it has since been brought to my knowledge, which was absolutely The third ordinary half-yearly meeting of tbe she holders of this Company was held to-day at their ° ffi lib 18, Abingdon-street, Westminster, in conformitY t he the Act of Parliament.
