While we would express our gratification at the honourable course adopted in several of the English constituencies, we would most emphatically protest against the dishonesty already evinced by certain factious individuals. Finsbury has acquired for itself the undisputed credit of returning the two first rp presentatives to the Parliament of 1847—those repre sentatives being the very impersonation of liberality. Tamworth has been actuated by an enthusiasm quite in accordance with the prevailing sentiments of the community ; the constituents have . proclaimed their sympathy with the great cause of commercial f sir R. PEEL. eman cipation by their ardent reception They have proved themselves competent to appreciate the poli c y o f th a t gre at statesman by declaring in their printed address to the Right Hon. Baronet, that in the estimation of his constituency his mercantile innovations must promote " the benefit, the prosperity, and the glory of the British dominions." In his electioneering address from the hustings of Tamworth the el-Premier admirably refutes the charges levelled against him on the ground of inconsistency. He was accused of having betrayed his supporters, of having deceived the party of which he was the acknow ledged leader, of having flagrantly broken his pledges to his own electors in particular, and to his political followers in general. Ile emphatically denied the accuracy of those imputations. Formerly he had protested hi 3 devoted loyalty to the Crown : had he done anything to trench on the just preroga tives of the SOVEREIGN ? Formerly he had declared his anxiety to aid by every legitimate means in th e ,maintenance of the established r e l igion : had he in any manner depreciated the influence of the Church Establishment ? Formerly he had announced his solicitude to preserve to the House of Lords all th e rational authority which d hitherto been associated with the hereditary peerage; a had he diminished even the p rest i ge o f t h e ✓nobility by any of the proceedings of his administration ? Had the liberties of the peopl e b een trifled with ? Had popu l ar opinion been depreciated ? had the freedom of the press been assailed? had any efforts, either overt or insidious, been made for the restraint of thought or action in the multitude ? On the contrary, whatever reforms had been adventured upon by his Government had been reforms of a con stitutional character ; such reforms as were consonant with every principle of rectitude, such reforms as were imperatively demanded by reason and justice, such reforms, moreover, as consolidated the structure, and imbutced the value, and di3seminatcd the advantages Through th Ps cl cur ill:on:parable constitution. ,wlt .s oT Clo, . 7 „ zier ..., . Ark; o " -A ; THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 29, 1847. operation of the extraordinary changes which had been effected by his Government not only were a multitude of pernicious and timorous restrictions removed from foreign articles of manufacture aid consumption, but the loyalty of the popu lation was confirmed, the dignity of the hereditary legislators was heightened in the estimation of the country, the power of public opinion was avowed the liberty of the press was rendered more than ever indestructible, because its advantage was more than ever displayed, and, beyond all, thought, and action, and commerce, received thereby a new emancipation by the dispersion of many centuries of prejudice, by the destruction of a system of fiscal bondage, and by the facilitation of intercourse between all the races of Christendom, and all the nations of the habit able globe. Those were, in effect, the arguments enunciated yesterday by Sir ROBERT PEEL before the independent electors of Tamworth. The inte grity of the ex-Prime Minister was fully compre hended by those electors ; they respected his convic tions, his principles, and his daring ; they knew that in his submission to those convictions, in his further ance of those principles, and in his manifestation of that daring he had evinced the purity of his inten tions by the magnitude of his sacrifices : they knew that in obeying the dictates of his conscience he had abdicated from a species of dictatorship, he had lost the enthusiasm and the devotion of a great party, and had exposed himself to calumnies and vituperations. Remembering all these things, the constituents of Tam worth returned Sir ROBERT PEEL with ac clamation and without opposition. Matters are not, unfortunately, managed so com fortably elsewhere. While the Right Hon. Baronet , is quietly reinstalled as the representative of Tamworth, an ugly trick is being performed upon the hustings of Bolton. A word in the ear of the Mayor of Bolton ! A word in your ear Mr. J. SCOWCROFT ! You have branded yourself on your forehead, and the brand can never be obliterated or forgotten ; it was done in the face of the whole land ; the people of England will henceforth esti mate your character as it deserves to be esti mated. What says Dr. BOWRING ? " I have seen," he says, " many dishonourable and disgraceful nomi nations, but none equal to this!" The circumstances are simple enough. A forest of hands is held up for Dr. BOWRING, a similar number for Mr. JoHN BROOKS, and " a comparative few" (so says the re porter) for Mr. WILLIAM BOLLING. The reporter, indeed, goes further, calculating the number of hands held up in favour of Dr. BOWRING and Mr. BROOKS as " not less than ten to one when compared with the number held up for Mr. BOLLING." Yet, in defiance of this, and amidst a storm of indignant disapprobation, the Mayor proclaims Mr. BoLuno and Mr. BROOKS to be the successful candidates, the former gentleman being a Conservative. The dis grace of this transaction cannot speedily he erased from the character of Mr. J. SCOWCROFT, the con scientious Mayor of Bolton. The alleged case of revolt and piracy, for which an entire ship's company were placed on their trial at Exeter, on Monday last, possesses deep and peculiar interest for every one anxious for the maintenance of the commercial and mercantile welfare of Britain. It was rightly described by the Learned Judge who presided, and by the able and talented counsel who conducted the prosecution, as a question of the greatest national importance, and of the most vital consequence to the existence of the maritime greatness of this country. The issue that went to the jury was, prac tically, to what extent could a captain be, per mitted to bully and tyrannise over his crew, before th e y would be authorised to venture upon a resistance to his authority, and to dispossess him of the power which he had abused. We have had the advantage of a judicial exposition of the law. The Learned Judge declared that, in point of law, a revolt would be justified in one view, and in one view only, viz., that if the conduct of the captain had been such as to afford reasonable grounds for concluding that, unless the men had imprisoned him, they, or some one, or more of them, would have been in danger of their lives, or of suffering some grevious bodily harm, it would be a justification, but that no degree of harshness or oppression, on his part, no commands, however unjust or unreasonable, would be sufficient to warrant the crew in taking the law into their own hands, or in depriving the master of that command of the vessel with which he had been entrusted by her lawful owners. We are bound to accept this interpretation of the law. We believe it to be strictly in accordance with previous decisions, and that as liberal a view of the particular statute under which the parties were indicted was taken as its stringent provisions would admit. That statute contained no exemption whatsoever, but declared " that if any seaman should confine his captain, er make a revolt in the ship, he should be deemed and adjudged a pirate, and being convicted thereof should suffer death as a felon ;" and, although in the recent changes of the criminal code which the humanity of the age de manded, the extreme penalty of the law was remitted, and transportation substituted for the punishment of death, the law in all other respects remained in the same condition as when it was originally enacted, more than one hundred and fifty years ago. It is also possible that no very great relaxation could safely be made in the stringency and severity of this law. It is mani fest that the greatest dangers would be incurred, and evils of the greatest magnitude rendered probable, if seamen were encouraged to resist the authority of their captain on trivial or insufficient grounds. It such a course were tolerated, there would no longer be any security for the lives of the mariners, or for the safety of the property entrusted to their charge. The destination of the ship might be changed, and the underwriters exonerated from all responsibility, on account of some petty dispute or trifling alter cation. While, however, the sailors are bound by such strict rules, they should be protected by the most efficient and binding enactments against any abuse of the extraordinary power conferred upon the master. The present law is altogether one ided in its operation. There is no reciprocity whatsoever. The seaman who, goaded by a continued course of ill-treatment and annoyance, for a moment forgets his position, and revolts against his tyrannical oppressor, is banished for ever from his native land, and doomed to toil as a slave for the remainder of his existence, while the master is suffered with impunity to utter the most frightful imprecations, to use the foulest and most abusive language, and to teaze and harass his crew in every possible manner; and, if occasionally brought before a magistrate for some gross and wanton outrage, he generally escapes Pm either without p un i s h ment, or, at the most, u payment of some sma ll fi ne. Shipowners, too, ap pear perfectly indifferent t o th e character of the man whom they select for the discharge of such important duties, and there is no test of character or qualifications which ~he is com pelled to undergo before he is invested with the au thority. A trifling knowledge of navigation is all that is looked for or expected at his hands. If he can work the ship's reckoning, calculate her position, and navigate her from port to port, nothing more is desired. A person is subjected to a heavy fine for acting as master of a twopenny boat on the Thames without a certificate of his competence, but he would Le permitted to circumnavigate the globe, to take charge of the lives of the crew and passengers, and of the property contained in the vessel, without the slightest proof of his fitness for the task. In the present instance the master was tainted by previous iil conduct, w hi c h s h ou l d have prevented any persons from again placing him in so responsible a position. He had been just liberated from Newgate, where he had been imprisoned for six months for a serious v is o a u u si l y t upon the ; edstewardhe h a o d b f the ebeen n vessel fined Madrasdh p r e fur another assau l t ; and on another occasion charged his crew w i t h mutiny and taken thee had Hong-Kong, m is ong-Kong, wher e th e magistrates held the them from blame, and ordered their wages to in d be paid in full. He had been so frequently engaged with his different crews, that he co u ld not say that twenty complaints had not been preferred against him, a lthough, of course, he was perfectly blameless on every occasion. He could not believe anything against Captain JOHNSON, of the Tory,who would appear to be an object of his ardent admiration, and his conduct to the persons whom he has just brought to trial was such, that the jury. without the slightest hzsitation, and without hearing the several counsel for the defence, stopped the case, and declared that the crew were justified in what they had done, and that they were in danger of their lives or of some grievous bodily harm from his violence. It is not possible to sympathise with the owners of the vessels for any loss they may have sustained in consequence of employing such a person. But we hope that the case may not be suffered to rest here, but that it may attract the notice of the Legislature. An important inquiry has been carried on during the past session into the effect and operation of our navigation-taws, and whether any and what changes therein are desirable. This constitutes one of the most serious topics to be submitted to the consideration of the new Parliament. Whatever may be the result of that investigation or the future legislation on the sub ject, it must be defective and insufficient unless the grievance of incompetent and tyrannical captains is remedied. This can only be done by requiring that every person should be licensed by the Trinity House, or some other competent board, before he is permitted to take the command of a vessel, and such license should only be granted after a strict examination as to his qualifications as a seaman, and an investigation into his previous character and conduct, and should be revocable on any proof of subsequent impropriety. By such a regulation, and also by punishing with the utmost severity any misconduct of a captain at sea, we can alone place our mercantile navy on a proper footing, and render justice to the gallant men whose services are so valuable to the country. The Swiss Diet, on the 23d, considered the motion of the Deputies of Geneva for striking out from the rolls of the army of the Confederation the names of all officers who shall continue to serve in the forces of the Sonderbund. The motion, although strongly opposed by the Deputies of the seven cantons forming the Sonderbund, was carried by a majority of twelve votes and two half votes, and the Diet was instructed to draw up a list of such officers. According to the German papers, negotiations have been commenced for the purpose of securing the succession to the Duchy of Brunswick to the family of the reigning Duke WILLIAM. 40 Madrid papers of the 22d have arrived. The Espanol contains an article, warning capi talists against the new loan, which it declares is illegal, while the security offered is illusory. In five out of the six electoral districts of Madrid Pro greesista candidates have been elected. The QUEEN, it is said, is about to make an excursion to Segovia. On the 21st the treaty for the recognition of the re public of Bolivia was signed by the Minister. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. The Comtitutionnel has an admirable article on the affairs of Switzerland, and on the conduct of M. GUIZOT in lending himself to a reactionary policy in support of the Jesuits and the Serviles in that coun try, and thus not only repudiating, but stamping as a crime the revolution of 1830. The following is the article from the Constitutionnel ,t " The struggle is becoming more and more desperate in Switzerland between the Diet and the League. The Diet pronounces the dissolution of the League, whilst the League replies by a protest and a threat of civil war. To this challenge the Diet responds in its turn by a note which forbids the Federal officers to have any intercourse with the Sonderbund, and threatens to cashier such as should persist in accepting employment in the troops of the separated cantons. This decision is the forced consequence of the former one. After having declared the alliance to be incompatible with the compact, it was inevitable that the incompatibility of the service in the army of the confederation, with that in the insurgent troops should be formally announced. It is the practical application of the purely theoretical decision which was taken first. It is evident that this struggle, which since the opening of the debates has remained within a circle, in a certain measure abstract, is tending to occupy the ground of facts and application; it is more and more to be feared that to the war of inter pretations and speeches may succeed a real war—that in which musket-shots will decide the differences. We do not hesitate to declare, that if blood is to be shed in S iizerland, that blood must be justly attributed to the powers who encourage an illegal revolt against the estab lished government, and hold out a premium to civil war in the hope of assistance corning from abroad— thus casting into the scales, where are at present balanc ing the destinies of Switzerland, the weight of the sword of a new holy alliance. It is truly impossible to com prehend how these same Powers which, in 1815, in their declarations to Switzerland, laid down in the most pre cise and peremptory manner the principle of the neces sary submission of the minority of the states to the ma jority, should uow come forward and support a principle .iiametrically opposite, by remanding, under the menace of a coming intervention, that the majority should pass under the Caudine forks of the minority —that the law should bend before revolt ! It is easy to comprehend that they will always be ready to sacrifice all their ideas .4 justice and the truest principles to their cgoti,m and reactionary policy, but that the Government of July should make itself against Switzerland, in the name of the treaties of 1815, the accomplice of the Powers which have just destroyed Cracow in contempt of these same treaties ; that it should support in the conledetation the same Jesuits that it was forced to expel from France ; that for such results it should not fear to repudiate at the same time in a single act its revolutionary origin, its interests, and its duties against an allied people, is wl.at cannot but excite the utmost indignation and as ronishment, if anything on the part of the Cabinet could call forth such feelings." Certainly the policy of the Court of France in sup porting this reactionary movement in Switzerland, is very short-sighted. Is it to be imagined that if the Austro-Jesuit reaction should be successful in Swit zerland, it will stop short at the Jura ? Has M. GUIZOT forgotten the alliances recently contracted between the Princes of the elder house of Bourbon and those of Hapsburgb, and does be imagine that for the sake of the beaux yeux of the Orleans branch, Austria will sacrifice those principles of legitimacy which are so dear to her ? It may be true that Austria makes the most devoted professions of friend ship to the reigning dynasty of France, but she did the same to NAPOLEON, and betrayed him. An in tervention by France in aid of the Sonderbund would be treason to the Orleans dynasty in any Minister who should counsel it, and in any Sovereign of that branch who should consent to it, political suicide. We learn from these papers that the Vorort of the Swiss Diet, M. OCHSENREIM, having com municated to M. Bois LE COMTE, the French Minister in Switzerland, a letter which he had received from M. JEN; the gentleman accused of having decorated his dog with the Legion of Honour, denying that the dog had been so decorated, and stating that nothing but a powerful imagination could have traced any resemblance between the de coration in question and the pieces of tin attached to dogs' collars, M. Bois LE COMTE had expressed him self satisfied with the explanation, and M. GUIZOT was satisfied with the satisfaction of M. Boss LE COMTE. It was rumoured in Paris that Austria and France were, in the affairs of Switzerland, to act the part which Austria and the Northern Powers have acted in the affairs of Poland, and that in the event of in tervention, an attempt would be made to partition the republic. We cannot credit this rumour. The Moniteur publishes the returns of the impor tation of grain and flour into France, from which it appears that the quantity amounted, from the Ist of July, 1846, to the 15th of July, 1847, to 9,403,028 hectolitres. The average price of wheat throughout France during the first six months of 1847 was—in January, 30f. 16c. per hectolitre ; in February, 33f. 50c; March, 37f. 69c.; April, 37f. 54c. ; May, 37f. 98c. ; June, 33f. 52c. The Presse states that there is not the least cause to appr , hend a further scarcity or even dearness of food. The samples of new wheat offered for sale are superior to those of an ordinary year, and abundance is general. In commenting on the reception of Lord JoHN RUSSELL by the citizens of London at the great meet ing at the London' . Tavern, the Courrier Francais makes the following pithy observations : "If we were told that one of the King's Ministers had come forward to solicit the votes of the electors of Paris, and that he was received with enthusiastic acclamations, we should exclaim—this is strange. Why does the re ception given to Lord John Russell, the first Minister of the Queen of England, by the electors of the city of London, appear strange to us? How it is that neither of our Ministers, since Casimir Piiier and Laffitte, has ever thought of scliciting the votes of the electors of Paris? Would the Government be in danger if 6,000 citizens should receive M. Guizot or M. Duchatel as 6,000 of the electors of London have received Lord John Russell? Would a French Ministt r who should present himself thus before the electors of the capital think it necessary to put the police on foot, and distribute cart ridges to the garrison every time that the citizens should assemble for a political manifestation, as was the case for the meeting of the Chateau-Rouge and the banquet of Macon? Would not that be a fine day for the country when_ a Mi n i ster should obtain applause from the people ()i • Paris? Why has none of them attempted it? Tt is because none of them can say like Lord John Russell—. I am a liberal Minister, and if it should happen for me to have to choose between your wishes and the necessities of the Government, you will not believe that I have be trayed liberty because I shall have oppo*ed myself over-impatient desires.'" The same paper returns to the subject of the con cession of the mines in Algeria to the Talabot Com pany, and asks if Marshal SOULT has not an interest in the ironworks at Alais, and others directed by the Talabot Company. It is not true that General CURIERES is about to emigrate to the United States. He intends residing for the future at the chateau of Autiviile, near Fe camp. The following is the programme for the celebra tion of the present anniversary of the Fetes of July : " During the three days, three tall masts will be erected on the Pont Neuf with each a banner of the na tional colours. On Tuesday, the usual distribution of alms will be made in each of the twelve arrondissements. On Wednesday, funeral services in memory of the citi• zees who were killed during the three days in 1830, will be performed in all places of public worship. A special service will be solemnized in the parish church of Saint Paul, at ten o'clock. During these services, the banners on the Pont Neuf will be covered with crape. On Thursday military pantomimes will be played on two theatres erected on the Grand Carlo of the Champs ny E t e s, where there will be four orchestras for dancing and a maypole with five prizes at the pinnacle for climbers. At the Barriere du TrOite there will be a theatre for pantomimes, two orchestras for dancing, and a maypole with five prizes. At three o'clock there will be a joule sur l'eau between the Pont Royal and the Pont de la Concorde. At seven o'clock a grand concert in the gsrden of the Tuileries. At half-put eight in the evening a grand display of fireworks at the Barrisire du Trone, and at nine another display of fireworks on the Quay d'Orsay and the Pont de la Concorde. The Grande Care and the Grande Avenue of the Champs Elystiu, the Avenue- d'Antin, the Cours la Reine, the banks of the Seine, the Arc de Triomphe, de l'Etoile, the Column of July, the Place and Barriere du Trone, and all the public buildings will be splendidly illumi nated. Salvos of artillery will be fired at the Invalides at six in the morning and six in the evening of the third day." The distribution of alms took place on Tuesday, and all went off quietly. General Baou DE BAILLY, the last survivor of the generals of the army of Egypt, died a few days since at Batignolles-Monceaux. The Chamber of Peers sat on Monday, and regis tered, rather than discussed, an immense number of Bills sent up to them from the Deputies. BOURSE.-PA RIS. JULY 27.

Manch. and Newcastle-upon-Tyne 0 15 0 The Money market is still rather tight, and there is some controversy as to whether this will continue. In the opinion of many, the Bank will exercise great caution still, and accommodate, principally, the middlug class of merchants. The American adviccs by the Caledonia, are cheering in reference to the supplies of grain and flour which we may expect, and as prices are declining on the other side of the Atlantic, our supplies will not be so costly. Indeed a good harvest hero will soon relieve us of the necessity of importing much more, and the present " pinch " therefore, may prove the tightest of the year. The exchange at New York was about 104. We regret to hear that trade was very dull in Canada, and that "everybody is complaining," as one party writes. Flour had been down to 31s, per barrel, and freights were in good demand at 6s. 3d. to Liverpool, and 6s. ed. to London and Glasgow. Exchange for private bills at ninety days 6i per cent. premium.

NOMINATION OF CANDIDATES. The nomination of candidates for the borough of Lambeth took place this day, on Kennington-comtnor. Shortly after nine o'clock Mr. Pearson, one of the candidates, accompanied by a numerous retinue of his supporters, arrived in a long train of carriages in the neighbourhood of Kennington-common, and having alighted at their committee-room, proceeded on foot to the hustings, and took their places accortingly. He was loudly cheered. Mr. Hawes was the next to make his appearance ; he was accompanied by his Excellency Mr. Bancroft, and a numerous train of supporters, and was received with mingled cheers and hisses, and cries of " Manchester wants no bishop," " How is the bishop?" to which Mr. Hawes good-humouredly remarked " Your money will not pay for the bishops." Mr. Hawes shortly after wards announced that the Liberal 'candidates for the city of London were upwards of 100 a head at ten o'clock, an announcement which was received with tremendous cheers. At half-past ten Mr. Tennyson D'Eyncourt appeared on the hustings, and was loudly cheered. Proclamation for silence having been made, Mr. R. ONSLOW, the returning officer, proceeded to read the precept and writ for the election, and the Act for the prevention of bribery and corruption, with the usual formalities. Mr. OsisLow then stood forward, and stated that he hoped the electors would hear with fairness and calmness the opinions of all the candidates, and that the election would be conducted in such a manner as to reflect credit upon the enlightened constituency of Lambeth. Mr. REDHEAD then proposed the name of Benjamin Hawes, jun., Esq., as a fit and proper candidate to re present the borough of Lambeth in the Commons House of Parliament. He had great pleasure in doing so, on the ground of the past and efficient services he had ren dered to the country and to the borough in his place in Parliament.—(Cries of "No bishops.") And he hoped that the result of the election would be, that they would send him again to represent them in the House of Com mons.—(Never, never.) Mr. CORY said that this was the second time he had had the honour of recommending B. Hawes, Esq., and he felt assured that in re-electing him they would return a consistent and honest man.— (Cries of "Nonsense," hisses, and other marks of disapprobation.) He would content himself with seconding his nomination, feeling fully convinced that his re-election would reflect great honour upon the borough.--(Cries of " No, no," and great confusion.) Mr. CHRISTIE proposed Mr. Tennyson D'Eyncourt. He had been a long and tried friend of the borough, and had represented it ever since the passing of the Reform Bill. He asked them now to do as they had always done, come early to the poll and vote for Tennyson D'Eyncourt, honesty and integrity.—(Cheers.) Mr. HARDY seconded the motion. It was now fifteen years since Mr. D'Eyncourt first came forward to re present the borough. ft e would not remind them of the saerikes made by that gentleman in the cause of liberty, and in promoting the prosperity of the borough of Lambeth. He could never imagine that ingratitude would ever become the attribute of the borough of Lam both, and he hoped that the time would never come when consistency would cease to be a strong recommendation in favour of any candidates that might be proposed to represent that borough. He was a Dissenter himself, and he felt sorry that he differed from many of his brethren on cer tain points, but he felt perfectly satisfied to leave his interests in the hands of Mr. Tennyson D'Eyncourt, and he must say, he hoped most sincerely that the electors would place that gentleman at the head of the poll.— (Cries of " We will," and loud cheers.") Mr. CORDEROY came forward to propose Mr. Charles Pearson. They were all aware of the principles of that gentleman, and many overflowing meetings had ex pressed their assent of his principles. The fact of his being a true Protestant was one reason why he gave him his warmest support. He said if he was elected he would oppose the further endowment of Maynooth.— (Cries of "No endowment at all.") He supported him also on the great grounds of civil and religious liberty. for his profound eloquence, his great and varied abili ties, and his devotion to the great cause of education. and civil, religious, political, and commercial freedom He felt, therefore, the greatest pleasure in proposing Charles Pearson, Esq., as a fit and proper candidate to represent the borough of Lambeth. Mr. DOULTON seconded the nomination. He did so, because he believed that if elected he would do his ut most to promote the best interests of the borough of Lambeth. Mr. Pearson was an eloquent advocate of the civil and religious liberties of the people of the coun try, and he most sincerely trusted that the electors of the borough of Lambeth would do their duty by placing him at the heed of the poll. Mr. .DANIELS proposed Mr. Gurney as a fit and proper person to represent Lambeth. Mr. SHAW seconded the nomination of Mr. Gurney. The RETURNING OFFICER then asked whether there were any other candidates to be proposed, and no one ap pearing, Mt . . B. HAWES then presented himself, and was re ceived with a storm of hisses, which lasted for some time. Silence being somewhat restored he said—Gentlemen, it now becomes my duty, as it is my privilege, to ad dress you upon this important occasion first in order of the candidates who have been presented to you.— (Hisses.) That privilege has been earned by me through your approbation and support in previous contested elections in this borough, and sanctioned as my conduct has been at part elections, I look 2onfidently to the re sult of this for a similar confirmation and approbation.— (Cheers and hisses.) I cannot commence the proceed ings of this day without expressing a strong feeling in my mind, in which I know you will all concur with me, if in nothing else, and that is the feeling that, in conduct ing this contested election we, among the candidates, and ' you, among the several supporters of each of us, may con duct ourselves fairly and as gentlemen one towards the other.—(Cheers.) It has been my most anxious wish that the election should be conducted without that personality and ill-feeling which so frequently agitates the public mind at elections in general, and I am glad to find that it has been so con ducted, and that the feelings of no person whatever has been intentionally wounded. I will now proceed to say in the face of the electors of this large borough, that having served you many years with industry and fidelity —(Cries of " No, no," and hisses)—l venture now to claim the honour and the reward of the due discharge of those duties, and when I hear the promises of others, I may fairly refer to my own acts and my own deeds.-- (" How about the new bishops?") I ask you to refer to any of those great questions—(A voice—" How about l)uncombe's motion ?")—which affect the great interests of the country, and say whether I have not faithfully discharged my duties.—(No, no.) It has been said, and truly said, that Mr. Pearson has appeared before you at many public meetings, as he was bound to and no doubt wished to do, and so have I, for I have never been afraid to meet the electors of this borough.—(A voice—" We want principles, not talking,")—in order to explain my conduct, and to vindicate any part of my conduct, upon which I might be questioned. (A voice— " How would you like the cat,' Hawes ?" At this moment a cat-o'-nine-tails was exhibited on the hustings by one of the supporters of Mr. Pearson.) Having, therefore, upon these various occasions to which I have alluded given you every opportunity in my power to ask for an explanation of my conduct, and also taken every opportunity of vindicating myself from the charges brought against me, I do not feel it now necessary to go again into those details which I have already done.— , (A Voice, " Y ou never did, you always shirked the question.") I cannot, and lam not going now, in the face of my constituents, to blink one question or objection which has been raised. It has been said that I, representing one of the l-.rgest constituencies in this kingdom, am disqualified from serving the people because I serve the Crown.—(Hisses.) I mean to main tain—(oh, oh!)—that he who serves the people faith fully—(Hisses) —may at the same time most honourably serve the Crown, and I think that the inetitudons of our country are never placed upon a safer foundation than when they who are identified with their maintenance themselves rest upon the bosom and affections of the people. (A Voice, " That is all soft soap.") I say that the vindi cation of my conduct is to be found in the language of the poet. I say that I claim to myself the character of the great warrior described by the poet—(Cheers and hisses)—who, "If he rise to station and command, Rises by open means, and there will stand On honourable terms—(Hisses)— else retire, And in himself possess his own desire." These are the sentiments which I appropriate to my self as my guide, and I say this, that if I cannot discharge my uuty—("You can't do it")—and at the same time serve the Governmeat—( 'You serve your self !")—I wiil then prefer your service to any other which can be bestowed upon me.—(hisses, and cries of "soft soap.") I believe you have now before you four candidates to represent you.—(A Voice—" Tw o of them out-and miters.") There is no very marked distinction between three of us, but there is another gentleman who appears upon other grounds. I feel bound to say that my experience and knowledge of the borough of Lam beth has never led me to connect success with the "orange placard " But still even to him, as to all others, we will deal fairly and lionourably.--(A Voice, "You don't know him ''') To acoommodat6 you, st 411 COURT CIRCULAR.

LOYAL UNITED FRIENDS.-- On Monday evening last the stewards of the last anniversary dinner at High bury Barn partook of a supper at the Griffin, Leonard street, Curtain-road, Shoreditch, when a numerous body of the stewards sat down bo an entertainment which re flected much credit to the worthy host, P. S. P. Price. P. P. Burns and P. S. P. Wells officiated as chairman and deputy, and were supported, among others, by P. P. Clowes, P. P. Bull, P. P. Fawcett, P. P. Hayward, P. P. Williams, P. P. Fitzgerald, P. P. Boggis, P. P. Harris, P. P. Soper, P. P. Hull, P. P. Murdon, and P. Burgess, of No. 15 Lodge. After the usual loyal toasts had been given, and properly responded to, the chairman gave " The Order of Loyal United Friends. and may it prosper as long as time shall exist." This toast was re ceived with tremendous applause. The Senior Steward, General Secretary Shiers, in a neat speech, proposed " The Ladies and Friends who were kind enough to favour the Stewards with their company at Highbury." After which P. P. Murdon and P. P. Pike gave a very pleasing recitation, which was well received. " Success to the Charitable Funds of the Order," and "Prosperity to the Gift Funds," were afterwards given, and received with much enthusiasm. The health: of the Chairman, Deputy, Senior Steward, Host, and P. Burgess were in the course of the evening drunk with great honour, and severally acknowledged by the parties in short but ap- propriate speeches. Several amusing songs were sung, and the company, at a late hour, adjourned to their re spective homes, in high spirits. This important social order now comprises about 12,000 members, with 30 15 highly-flouri s hi ng g if t f un d s, and 5,000/. s lo to d e g k e and .s, ISUDDEN ILLNESS OF EARL JERAIYN.—Much in terest and concern have been manifested by all classes and parties in this town, in consequence of the serious indisposition of this universally esteemed nobleman. His Lordship came from town en Friday, and on that and the following day proceeded with his canvass of the electors in conjunction with Mr. Twiss. On Saturday evening he and his colleague met a party of friends at dinner at Hardwicke House, the seat of the Rev. air T. G. Cullum, Bart. Early on Sunday morning, at Ick worth, the Noble Lord was seized with a violent attack of English cholera, with severe cramps of the legs, great prostration of strength, and other symptoms of the worst form of that disorder, so o as for some hours to occasion the most serious apprehensions in the minds of his medical attendants.

Au instant alarm was raised, and after considerable trouble the inmates were aroused from their slumbers; the fire, by that period, had obtained a strong hold of the lower part of the premises, and owing to the intense heat, and the suffocating nature of the smoke, it was with the greatest difficulty that the several parties re siding in the house could effect a safe retreat. As it was, they had not sufficient time to dress themselves, but were obliged to rush into the street in their night clothes. The engines of the London Brigade, parish, and West of England office quickly attended, and there being an abundant supply of water flowing from the mains in the district, the firemen set the engines to work, and by pouring a copious stream of water into the midst of the flames, they were soon extinguished, not, however. until the premises and the stock in trade therein, toge ther with the furniture, were severely damaged by fire, &c. The origin of the outbreak could not be learned. Had it not been for the timely discovery, it is quite pro bable that every person in the building would have been burned to death.
