TO THE ELECTORS OF MARYLEI3ONE. GENTLEMEN, • The unexpected announcement of an immediatedDissolutiou of Parliament renders it necessary for mo to address you, ! and to explain to you the cause of my absence from England at this time. In the course. of last summer I was, as you are .aware, afflicted with severe illness, contracted in the discharge of what I deemed a public duty, and which has resulted in the loss of one of my eyes, but I em, thank God, decidedly better, and assured by the best medical authorities that there is, humanly speaking, - every •probablity of my being able to resume Parliamentary life in two months. . You did me the honour of electing me, about two years ago, by a majority unparalleled in your contests. Previous to that Election I stated to you without reserve my views • upon all the great,questions of the day, and I think I may ' safely assert, withou i t fear of contradiction, that I have not, in one single instance, deviated 'from the principles which I then professed. Under these circumstances, I venture to hope that my absence, occasioned as it has been, - solely by a visitation of Providence, may not operate against me at the approaching Election. With regard to the vote of the House of Commons, which has led to the Dissolution of Parliament, I beg to say that had I been present I should most assuredly have given rmy support to the Minister who, at a time of extreme difficulty, undexto . . , k the Government when it was abandoned by others, and who has throughout his long political career upheld the honour and interests of the British empire. I beg to offer my most grateful thanks for the considera tion and forbearance which you have exhibited towards me during my involuntary absence, and to' assure you that if you will again honour me with your confidence, my best energies shall, as heretofore, be devoted to your service. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obliged and faithful servant, Naples, March 8, 1857. . EBRINGTON.

GENTLE:4EN, ;As Parliament is now Dissolved, I again solicit your suf frages. The immediate cause of the dissolution is a vote of censure on the Government, carried by the union'of various parties in the House of Commons, and it is evident, from the expres sion of public opinion, that the vote so carried is net in ac cordance with the general feelinr , of the country. As I have already represented your borough for 20 years, and have been elected on six different occasions, my public conduct mu 4 be well known to you. I have always endea voured to promote your interests, whether local or general, and to advance, the principle of that local self.governmint which you so highly prize. Since the dissolution was announced, I have received the most gratifying assurances of renewed support from all parts of the borough, and I shall hope when the day of erection arrives that I may be again returned to Parliament as one of your representatives. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obliged and faithful servant, 9, Great Stanhope-street, March 21, 1857. B. HALL. V C?

Tne fol lowing is au abstract of the main provisions of the act just referred to :—" Every person who shall directly or indirectly give, lend, promise, or endeavour to procure, any money, or valuable consideration, to or for any person on behalf of any voter or to refrain from voting, or shall corruptly do any such act on • account of such voter having voted, or refrained from voting, at any election ; every person who shall, di rectly or indirectly, give, procure, offer, promise, or endeavour to procure, any office or employment to or for any voter, or any other person on behalf of any voter, or any other person, in order to induce such Toter to vote, or refrain from voting, or shall cor ruptly do any such act, on account of any voter having voted, or refrained from voting, at any elec tion ; every person who shall make any such gift, • . loan, offer, premise,, procurement, or agreement, to or for any person, in order to induce such per son to procure the maim of any person to serve in Parliament, or the vote of any voter at any election; and every p - eTsarrichro strati; - npon such loan, offer; -- -.-- - . 7. ' aidr. promise, procurement, or agreement, procure, or engage to procure, the return of any person to serve in Parliament ; or any person who shall advance or pay any money to the use of any other person with the intent that such money shall be expendel in bribery at any election, or who shall knowingly pay any money to any person in discharge of any money wholly or in part expended in bribery at any election ; every person thus offending shall be guilty of a misdemeanour, and shall also be liable to a penalty of 1001." The penalty attaching to any one who shall re ceive any bribe for giving or withholding his vote, either before or after an election, is 101. The penalty against treating is equally stringent. A forfeiture of the sum of 501. is the consequence to a candidate, if on the day of nomination or elec tion there should be treating either in the way of " moat, drink,' or entertainme , nt, by way of refresh ment, or money, or ticket, to obtain refreshment by' any person on the candidate's behalf, to influence a voter." Agents or indifferent persons are to be tined 21. for every offence of this nature. With respect to undue influence the provisions in the act are most stringent, and impose a fine of 501. en any candidate whip shalt, in any way, compel a voter to vote in favour of a particular candidate. An " election auditor" is also appointed, and all accounts are to be submitted to him. He is to re ceive 101. from each. candidat ~ and two per cent. oa every payment which passes through his hands. If this office be faithfully fulfilled, the functions of an election otlic,T are so stringent as to afford in themselves a check upon elec.ioneering, abu-es. The time for proceeding with elections is also fixed by the act. In counties, elections are to take place between the 6th and 12th day after the sheriff's proclamation is made, neither sooner nor later ; the . sberiff's proclamation for holding the election is to be made within two days after the rec:ipt of the writ. handicap attar the publication of the vecights s!b ex.

Tito 23d company of Royal Engineers a nd the detachment of 1 200 w orderlies of the Medical Stiff Corp , , at Chatham, are to be held in readiness for immediate embirkation for service in China. The whole of the non-commissioned officers and men have hen inspected, and they are in readiness for embarkation at instant notice. The reduction in the number of men employed in Cna hate dockyard is now completed, ther last &suliarz.e of men having been made on Saturday list, when upwards of 31 hired labourers who were taken on at that establishment during the war re-, ceived their discharge, their places being supplied by several hundred convicts, who lira now stationed at Chatham since • the abolition of the hulks at Woolwich. A great deal of activity prevails in the dockyard in bringing forward those ships which aro intended to be hunched during t!,e present .year, and the labourers on the eeta(diQhmen , , employed on general service, will be retuned. In consequence of the election at Chatham tak ing piaci on Saturday next, on which day it was iutetided to launch the large screw steamer Re- Lown, 91, an application has been made by Ovt. G. Go!dsmith to the Admiralty to allow the launch to be postponed to a future dai, it being customary for the men employed in Her Majesty's dockvarjs to be allowed a day's holyday at an eleo ion.

The Arrogant, 47, screw frigate, has been taken into the sham basin at Portsmouth to repair de frets. An 'order has just been received from the Ad miralty at t' .e various dockyards to stop all fresh entries and re-entrie3 of men and boys from the In borough?, the returning officer must proceed, to the election within six days atter the receipt of the even* , ' and must "give three clear days n( tire, at least, of the day of election, exclusive of the day of proclamation and the day of election," making in all five days. Tice polling for counties in England and Wales is limited to one day •(formerly two days were al lowed for the purpose), the poll to be kept open om 8 a in. to 5 p.m. At the universities, Oxford and Cambridge, the polling is fixed, by sac. 4 of the act, to continue five dayS only. By the 15 and 16 Vie., c. 23 (passed 17th June, 1852), it WAS enacted that, after a dis , iolution ' Par liament may meet within 35 days after the da'e of the royal proclamation. It will be seen, from the above succinct outline of the new act, that a mat - many electioneering nuisances and abuses wuich formerly existed ara abolished ; and that a more honourable course of conduct, at any rate, is provided for. It is only to be hoped that the salutary and beneficial provi sions of thisimportant act ofParliameot will be ob served and strictly adhered to in the forthcoming election ; and that every man who id, appointed to any office, no mater how trivial, will strive to the utin , ..st* to do his &Ivy. However great momen tarily may be the advantage to a poor _voter, of getting a quid pro quo iu s . me shape of his vote and interest, it is unnecessary, at this time, to say one word on the demoralising tendency of such prac tices, nor the fatal blow theystrike at all real liberty in the voter, and all feelint,-of purity, honour, and patriotism in the so-elected "representative."— Boston Advertiser.

She is expected at South- . aulpton early on the morning of the 27th inst. The freight ship Violet, from the London Docks, was yesterday moored at Woolwi6h Arsenal for the purpose of shipping a cargo of war stores for Giina. A portion of the freight will consist of three complete three-pounder batteries, which are in course of beina fitted out in the Royal Carriage department of the arsenal, for use in China. These small batteries are intended for mountain service, ,and torbe removed as may be necessary by the na tive ponies. The ammunition waggons, which are covered with tarpaulin, are about the s;zo of an ordinary handbarrow. A number of medals awarded to the officers and priVates of the Royal Marine Corps who were in active service during the late Baltic campaign have been received at Woolwich, 190 of which were dis tributxl on Tuesday by Lieutenant and Adjutant Fraser, and yesterday morning the remaining 100 were disposed of. This completes the list of the recipients in the Woolwich divisions entitled.to the Baltic medal. Major Barstow's company of Royal Artillery were yesicriay morning marched down to the Long Range, in the Plunastead. Marsh, Woolwich, where they underwent a course of rifle practice, preparatory to their departure for China. Captain Knox.'s company assembled on Woolwich Common, and went through a series of mortar practice, firing several rounds of cohorn mortars, loaded with shell, and directed towards a flag-staff erected at a distance of 200 yards from the battery. Captain Middleton and Captain Longdeu's companies were engaged during the morning firing, 8, 10, and 13-inch shella, in the mortar battery near the Royal Repository, over a range varying from 600 to 800 yards. These exercises are ordered to be continued daily until the embarkation of the companies. They were conducted by Lieut.-Col. John Henry Franck lyn, R. A.; field-officer of the week.

A corespondent, writing io tLe Times, says : " As regards the Austra4an postal service, it would seem that if we bava not jumped odt of the frying pan into the tire, we certainly have not leaped out of the former up the chimney. "To this date them is no telegraph of the arrival of the Cambria bringing the mail to Marseilles, and, even if the arrival were at once announced, the letters could not by any po-sibility be delivered until at least 11 days after they were doe in London. " I noticed in the Times some days ago aletter from an Australian Merchant,' netting of the company some in formation respecting the probable detention of the mail, but, as he barayed an entire izoorance of the subject and the route, I presume the secretary thought the task of enlighteuing him would bo too arduous to he undertaken. I think, however, it would be satisfactory to all those who have forwarded their outward correspoudecce via Marseides to know that the bags have been forwarded from Marseilles to Malta in time to catch the Jura from Southampton: As it seems, from the advertisements of the company, that there is but one steamer (ihe Cam bria) employed in the service between Marseilles and Malta, and as she ought to be waiting at the latter place for the homeward mails due there on the 12th, it would seem she could not be at Marseilles to take on the out ward mails due thence on the 18th. "If the ag.:nts of the company have not provided another steamer to take on the bags, via France, our correspondence will necessarily be detained at Marseilles from the 18th inst. to the 18th proximo—not a very satisfactory result. to those who paid the extra postage rates to secure the advantages of four days' later intel ligence. Perhaps the secretary may on this occasion consider that some inforication on this subject is due to corres pondents via " MAR ET - NEWS.—(Thus ray.) CORN EXCHANGE.

A meeting summoned by the inhabitants of the ward' ;f Bread-street was hold list evening at the North and i-Juth American Cuffte-hous:.„ at • which the claims of Lord John Russell and the course taken by tie busine-s esmmittee in reference to the resolution for excluding his iordship from the representation were .taken into con sideration. There wai a very full attendance of electors, lac tiding several members of the association and sup prter-s of their "four candidates." Mr. F. ABRAHMIS, who had been announced as the jhairman in the placards calling the meeting, presided. Mr. PRITCILIED, ugh Bailiff of Southwark, proposed a.resolution expressing confidence in Lord John Russel:, and pledging the meeting to support him, intrOducing nis name by an historical retrospect of the nol le lord's services, and an eloquent panegyric on his consistent and patriotic liberalism. Ile intimated that he also had been a member of tho Liberia Registration Association, but had seceded from it because of tiaeir unfair - conduct in thq present instance. The resolution A•as put and carried. A third resolution, insisting•that tho resolutions pamed at the meeting stould be abolished, having been prc pored—_ Lord CHAS.. TOSSELL, who had some time previously entered the room, proceeded to address. the meeting On behalf of his brotaer. Hu said—.W ea I left home this rooming I did not•expect that LshoUld remain in the City, and not 'have returned to dinner at nine o'clock this evening ; nor did I expect ttisee those magnificent warehotises through which I have.heen conducted—nei thee did I contemplate weadingeday, way through those narrow courts and alley's, in which I find I have had my pocket picked---(" bear, bear," and laughter)—and still less wasl prepared to bear much that I havo heard in this room to-night from the warm friends of the Its - gistration Society. I acknowledge the usefulness of that society, and I say it is a proud distinction for a great city like London to have mainly through. their exertions, five candidates corning forward, all upon the Liberal interest, not one C.,nservative daring to show his lace. ([sear_) But I must say also that their conduct towards my brober in this election is not generous—is not just. (Hear.) Undoubtedly the association bad a perfect right to combine together to appoint any four gentle:pen as candidates they pleased. I demur not to that ; but it is an old saying and a true one, that that which is morally wrong cannot be politically right. I do not say that udder some circamstauces they have not a right to combine for such a purpose, but. I say that it is not morally right, it is not English for them to combine to rdeqt a man unheard. (Cheers.) It is not right to call upon a man to came from a boraugh he represented, and might have represented to the close of his political career, to vindicate in his person the great principles of unr,stricted trade and civil and reli gious freedom, of which the members of the association were the advocates, and after sixteen years' service to treat him, as I have seen a member of P ar li amen t, w h en making a long speech, treat an orange—having sucked it, to threw it away. (Loud cheers) One gentleman present seemed to me to make the most reckless asser tions. Ile went back to the year 1837 ' • and said that toy brother, when member for Huntingdon, was not a flee trader. He is perfectly right in that statement ; but when the gentleman goes thirty years back to com demo a man, would it not be fair to go twelve years back to give him credit ? (sear, hear.) Aga.o, the gentleman said that Lord John Russell was not more in favour of Parliamentary reform than Lord Palmerston: Why it is will known that three years ago, when Lord J. Russell brought - forward his reform bill, Lord Pal merston " bolted" out of the cabinet on that ground (" Hear, hear," and laughter)—and within the last few weeks, on Mr. Locke King's motion, Lord Palmerston, with 40 of the Treasury men, went into the lobby with the Tories against it, while my brother went into the opposite lobby in company with the great body of the Liberal party in its favour. (Cheers.) One gentlu man has said that my brother is not a friend to the ballot. Now, let us deal fairly with him in his absence. (Bear, hear.) I Was in Parliament once, though I have not the honour to be so now, and upon this subject:, of the ballot I differed from my brother. (Hear.) Why, it' you reject Lord John for that cause, you ought on the same ground, if I were put up as a candidate - against him, to elect me—he being, as is well known, the fruit of the family, while I am but the mere husk and rind. (Hear.) But I will state to you a fact ; I have autho rity for stating that the vice-president and treasurer of the ballot society have both of them expressed their de termination to stipport.Lord J. Russell its the coming election, so satiedied, are they with his c.tnduet, Altar all I want to know is Lord John Russell so determined an cppouent of the ballot as some litre seem to suppoa In the abstract I am myself in favour of open voting ; but what made ice a convert to the ballot was seeing the enormous amount of coercion 'exercised in an election when I was a candidate—and I have heard Lord John Russell say, alien be was contesting Devonshire, that hu saw things then which, though iu Vile abstract he was oppossd to the balit, led him to behove it possible thatl he might be driven to it. The resolution, that Lord John Russell, as the con sistent champion, &c., was . then put and carried by a large majority. . After the usual vote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting separated. RAILWAY INTRLIIGENCE. :CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD. The adjourned half-yearly meeting of -thil .company was held at the Eusthn station yesterday, - Sir S. Morton Peto in the cha'r. . . Mr. MANsEL, the . .seeretary, read the report, which stated that the traffic during. the past led! '-year had con tinued steadily to increase,' the `receipts from the railway xhibiting an excess pf. 8,797/. over those of the corres ponding period of the previous year, and the earnings of tie steamboats showing an increase of 3,695/. The engineer reports that the permanent way, works, and stations of the main line and branches are in good conrlition. The sea, during the past half-year, has dis turbed a portion of the bench at Pennmen Mawr, so that it has been necessary to make some additions to the pitching of the fore-shore, which will be c mipleted in the course of a few weeks. The accounts show a net balance to the credit of re venue of 31,7831. after payment:of debenture interestand other first charges ; from this•sum the directors recom mend the payment of the full half-year's dividend, at the rate Of sj i per cent. per annum, on the firs,t prefer ence stock ; and-one year's dividend, at the rate of 5 per cent. per a,unnni, on acctount of the arrears on the issued portion of the viand preferencT stock ; leaving balance of 1,6671. to be carried forward to the current half-year. The capital account cbowed th:A.4,304,930/., had bG6n receive:l, and 4,339,188/. ekoendtd, leaving a ba'ance of 24,2571. against the, coppany. The reven`U.e account for the balf-year ending the 31 : t of December 13 , 4 showed thetel-89,180/. had been received. teti — tte* railway, and 27,6671. from the steamboats, making together 166,7971.; and that the expenses in respect of the rail;vay amounted to 70,723/ , and on account of We steamboats to 25,2511., together 95,974/. ; leaving a balance of 68,4071. in fa vour of the railway, and 2,417/. in favour of the steam boats (after setting aside 5,401/. for insurance and de precia ion funds) ; making a net profit of 70,824/. To this was added 17,5021., the balance from the preceding half-year, and 3401. allowed by the Leedon and North- Western Company as their proportion of loss shown on the steamboats, after charging interest on the value of the vessels, making 88,666/. Out of this was deducted 17,3251. dividend on first preference shares at 8.3. 3d. per share, declared at last meeting, 3,568/. exnenditure appertaining to previous half-years, 246/. balance of traffic, 3,0001. rent of Bangor and Caruarvon Railway, and 5,5271. interest on advance ; leaving 58,9991, lees amount of debenture interest, and of Band C beads, 27.2161., leaving 81,783/. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said they had been extremely anxious that the accounts presented on that occasion, being the first under the new system of working, should have all the arrears carefully settled, and all open accounts closed, so that hereafter they would simply have to look to the acceunts from time to time under their arrangement with the North-Western 'Company. He thought, on referring back to the receipts, omitting tho:7o for 1853, it being the year of the Dublib Exhibition, that the increase was such as they might reasonably have ex pected. The pasaenger traffic fee the half-year ending, the 31st of December, 1852, amounted to 53,583/. ; ending 31st cf December, 1854, to 62,1701. ; 31st of December, 1855, to 64,212/. ; and 31st of December, 1856, to ,5391. - For oarcele the figures were 2,6751., 3,5191.. 3,7431., and 4,003/. ; and for goods and live stock, 24,6491., 39,1,411, 45,1201., and 49,5,13/. respec tively. The steam-boat traffic, as compared with pre vious years, also showed an increase. The general results showed the company was placed in a position of much greater security by having the steam-boat traffic in their own bands than they would have been if entirely depen dent upon others. He then moved the adoption of the report and accounts. The report wag adeptol, a dividend for the half-year ending 31st D , c. last on the first preference shares was declared at the rate of 51 per cent. per annum, payable the 31 April ; also a 5 per cent. dividend on the second preference shares for 12 months, on Ib9C• )u nt of arrears of interest due prior to Oct., 1853. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the prc ceedings. LUNDIIILL COLLIERY EXPLOSION. THE COMMENCEMENT OF OPERATIONS • FOR EMPTYING THE PIT. Contrary to expectation, the drawing off of the water, preliminary to reaching the bodies of the victims of the late explosion, did not commence until late on Tuesday afternoon.' On Monday the water had reached within 15 inches of. the height fixed by the engineers. as that required to overpower the burning matter. Great disappointment was felt by many of the relatives of the deceased, who, de spite the unfavourable state of the wea' her, had come from a distance to be present at the commencement of operations which would lead to the speedy re covery of 'some of the • bodies. This anxiety was greatly increased by it•having been made known that some of the men who had descended to the water.in the pit bad observed some bodies floating on the surface. This, however, on more minute inspection, was found not to be the case. At an early hour on Tuesday morning the water had reached the maximum height,of 60 feet, and during the forenoon it was stopped from running into the pit. It was then expected thee, as 'everything had been ready for some days past for drawing off the water, operations would be at once commenced. This, however, was not the case, as it was nearly four o'clock before the iron buckets could be said to have commenced drawing. • The delay was oc casioned, in a great measure, by it being found, at the eleventh hour, that the buckets were too large, and that other essentials, although trifling matter 3, had been overlooked. Loud were the complaints of the poor . women,' who came towards the pit, on bearing of the apparent dilatoriness of the parties. `Their grief, however, had no effect upon the police etatioried at the pit, who rudely sent them away from 'the ground upon which their husbands, fathers, and brothers lie. .Thairon bucke:s having been lessened they were let down, and were found to do their work admirably, discharging ab7att 500 gallons of water in five or six seconds under a minute. A quantity of lime was placed close to the shaft, some of which was thrown into the water. This was found to be necessary as a disinfectant. good deal of gossip has prevailed on the subject of the water during the past week. There is little fear that anything injurious can re sult from it, for, besides the disinfectant thrown into the water from the shaft, a large quantity of pure water is mixed with it from the Abdy bed. During the operation'. of drawing . it is atranged that men shall go down to the water's edge at short intervals, as it is expected that bodied may occa sionally come up to the surface. The difference of the temperature of the water at the surface andsbottom of the upcast shaft still con tinues nearly the same as it has been for the last 10 days—the bottom being 60 degs. and the surface 66 degs. ; and doubts have been expressed as to the tiro being extinguished by some of the best autho rities. It is to belopcd, now that operations have commenced, that no time will to lost in reaching the bodies, and'thus allaying the excitement and easini , the mindsof the relatives of the unfortunate men, the great wish of all of whom seems, to be the seeing of their remains interred ; and, until this is' done, the painful scenes already witnessed are sure to occur. An instance of this was' given on Tues day. Doubtless from want of thought, a waggon load of coffins was sent down to Lundhill, from Barnsley, in the middle of the day, when a scene occurred only equalled by the day the explosion took place. The women in a body left their houses, rushed up to the waggon, and on witnessing its contents—the sad spectacle bringing to their minds SO forcibly the great loss they had sustainbd—a most agonising and painful scene was the reSult. It is to be hoped that such scenes will in future be obviated, as they easily might be, by the transit of such articles' being made at night, and thus spare the feelings of those who have already suffered so deeply. Two powerful fans, for exhausting, the eases in the cupola shaft, are just being erected, to be worked by steam-power. As soon as the water has been drawn off, the fans will be'brought into opera tion, so as to allow parties going to the bottom to do so without the risk of another explosion, as the vast body of gas accumulated in the pit would ren der such a thing probable, if not carried off. The men on whom will devolve the onerous task of searching for the bodies' will be selected from the various pits in the district, and will embrace the best and most experienced miners to be found in the Yorkshire coat fields. The small amount of dollars brought by the lot West India steamer has been sold at 61d,, being an advance of OAd. on the price realised for those by the preceding packet, MARYLEBONE. Yesterday placaros were issued naming Mr. Joseph Hoare, the banker, and Mr. Charles Jantes Btvan, woo is a partner iu the firm of Messrs. Barclay, Perkins, and Co., the eminent 'orewers, as candidates. As soon as the placards appeared these gentleeien were waited upon toe a,certain if their names had been thus published vriai they sanction. Mr. Bevan expressed his great surprise ►and annoyance that his name should have been so un w•arrantably put for warj, and at once dechred that ho had never sanctioned anything of the kind, and had no intention of standing as a candidate under any circum stances. Mr. Joseph Hoare was also waited upon, and, although not personally seen, as,urances were also given that he had not the sli&latest intention of standing. GREEN WIC EL Last night a crowdetimeeting was held at Woolwich, for the purpose of hearing au address from Mr. John Townsend, the resident candidate, who avowed himself an advocate of the rote by ballot, extension of the suf frage, repeal of Jewish thsablties, abolition of Church rates and flogging in th f e army, and a continuance of the Maynooth grant. Mr. Townsend avowed his intention to pull to the last man ; and, in consequence of his popularity as a tradesman of long standing and ii.- tegrity, has he received the support, not only of the Liberal electors, but of a numerous section wbo are op posed to his poot:cal views. Gen. Codringion and Mr. Ohaniberd, the former members, have combined their interest 4. SHEFFIELD. Every day furnishes lre,h evidence of the severe nature of the struggle for, the second seat for this bor.,tigh. Tory canvasters are in every district endeavouring to obtain split votes for Overend and Roebuck, as against Mr. Hadfield, the colleague of Mr. Roebuck, on the ground of Mr. Hadfield being a member of the Man chester school, and a peace-at.any-price man. To coun• teract this, Mr. Roebuck has accompanied his colleague to several ward meetings, and in his addresses has de nied that Mr. Overend is more allied to him in politics than Mr. Hadfield. At a meeting in the Park ward, on Tuesday, Mr. lia'jfieid, in the course of his address, stated that if Lord Palmerston had done before the divi sion on Mr. Cobden's motion what he did afterwards— probably in consequence of that division—if he had sent Lord Elgin to China to repair the mischief that had been done, that division would never have taken place; and if it had, Lord Palmerston would have been in a majority. (Cheers.) Mr. Staniforth asked Mr. Had field if ho would offer any further opposition to Lord Palmerston's Government on the Chinese question Mr. Hadfield, after stating that he had supported Lord .Palmerston on many occasions when Mr. Disraeli had tried his strength against the Government, said, if the present:proceedings should result in a frightful conflict with China, they might depend upon him (Mr. Hadfield) standing by his country. Let Lord Palmerston, or whc ever would, hold the reins of Government, he should support them in the war. (Cheers.)—Mr. Roebuck : I want to say a word on that matter. The gentleman says Lord Palmerston upon coercion has done right, and he asks will we support bias on the China question. My answer is a plain and straightforward one. I don't know. I will tell you why. I don't know what Lord Palmer ston may do. So often and so long as he does right I will support him. When I think he does wrong, I will coerce him. (Cheers.)
