!~~ f THE OLD GREE.Y LANE. BY ELIZA COOK. 'TwAq the very merry summer time That garlands hills and dells, And the south wind rung a fairy chime Upon the foxglove bells ; The cuckoo stood on the lady birch To bid her last good-bye— The lark sprung over the village church, And whistled to the sky ; And we bad come from the harvest sheaves, A blithe and tawny train, And tracked our path with poppy leaves Along the old green lane. 'Twas a pleasant way on a sunny day, And we were a happy set, And we idly bent where the streamlet went To get our fingers wet ; With the dog-rose here, and the orchis there, And the woodbine twining through, With the broad trees meeting everywhere, And the grass still dank with dew. Ah ! we all forgot, in that blissful spot, The names of care and pain, As we lay on the bank, by the shepherd's cot, To rest in the old green lane. Oh, days gone by ! I can but sigh As 1 think of that rich hour, When my heart in its glee but seemed to be Another woodside flower; For though the trees be still as fair, And tile wild bloom still as gay— And the south wind sends as sweet an air, And heaven as bright a day; Yet the merry set are far and wide, And we shall never meet amain ; We shall never ramble side by side Along that old green lane. LITERATURE. Books von REVIEW, &c.—Books, New Prints, Music, &c., intended for review, may be left at Mr. C. Mitchell's, Red lion-court, Fleet-street, London, addressed " to the Editor of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD," when they will be forwarded and receive attention. A Charge delivered by the Venerable the Arch deacon of Liverpool, upon the Admission of Churchwardens in his Archdeaconry, in the month of May, 1552, and published at their request. Liverpool : Deighton and Laughton. Haddock and Son, Warrington. The whole tenor of this charge of our Venerable Archdeacon is conceived in a truly Christian spirit; and, with respect to the rights of private parties to pews in parochial churches and chapels of ease, it contains a statement of the law, which will be both new and interesting to the public. The Venerable Archdeacon lays it down that " by the general law, and of common right, all the pews in parish churches are the common property of the parish ; they are for the use in common of the parishioners, who are all entitled to be seated." He proceeds : " It is a clear rule of law, recognised in a series of ad judged cases, that pews in the body at least of a parish church, cannot be either bought or sold. The practice of making such sales may have frequently prevailed. but has constantly been disallowed by the courts. Even where an occupier has purchased a seat erected under a faculty containing a clause permitting the party erecting it to sell, this is no bar to the common right of the parisioners, as such permission is illegal. In a case which came before Sir John Nichol', a most learned, able, and experienced judge, it appeared that on the building of a gallery the churchwardens and vestry had sold the seats, erd that the pews in question had been purchased and paid for twenty years before—but he said, " this is alleging what from beginning to end was an illegal trans action, and can furnish no ground of title. It may be a reason in the discretion of the churchwardens for seating these persons, and such seating may give a possessory right against a mere disturber ; but if the court were to admit any part of this article, it would lend its countenance to a proceeding contrary to law. The sale and purchase do rot improve, they rather operate against the claim ; because if a party seeks to found his title on an illegal origin, it goes far to justify his removal—and as it is illegal to sell, so is it equally unlawful to let pews.' " Pews " may be appropriated by prescription and by a prescriptive title ;" but in most cases where claims of the kind are made, such title would be proved to be supposititiotis. It must he shown that the pew has been annexed to the house of the parishioner time out of mind; and, secondly, that it has been repaired by the party claiming it time out of mind. A third proposition is, that as soon as ever the holder of a pew ceases to be a parishioner end quits his house, his right ceases. For the remainder of the argument, however, we would refer our readers to the pamphlet itself, which is well worthy of perusal. Edinburgh Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine. Blackwood and Sons. Blackwood presents us with an admirable num ber this month ; and we would especially direct the attention of our readers at the present crisis to an article on "The General Election." The remarks of the writer point with tolerable plainness to the policy which an honest government, should the verdict of the country be in favour of Free-trade policy, must pursue to render it a just policy. Having withdrawn protection from agriculture, from our sugar colonies, and our shipping interest, we must, he contends, carry out the principle of Free-trade in other branches of industry. " Why," he asks, "should the staples of Paisley and Sheffield be protected, whilst the great staple of our agricul tural counties is laid open to the competition of the world ?" Why, indeed? Why the staples of Manchester, Bradford, Macclesfield, and other towns ? We should like much to see what sort of arguments any consistent Free-trader could find to oppose to so just a proposition. The magazine contains an elaborate article on our national de fences, and a letter on American politics, which is well worthy of perusal. The literary matter is of a high, order. SERIALS.—First in order we take up our old friend Chambers's Journal, which still flourishes with the strength of former days.

In this respect, these ma gazines are much alike; and each is reprinting a work of standard merit—the former, "The Vicar of Wakefield ;" the latter, " Handy Andy." Apropos of the times, the last has got to the nomination day and.election, one of the most amusing and best written parts in the volume.

THE ELECTIONS. NORTH LANCASHIRE. It was anticipated up to Monday night that this divi sion of the county would be contested, and vigorous preparations had been made on both sides. Early on Tuesday morning, however, the day of the nomination, it was arranged between the committees of Col. Scarlett, the Conservative candidate, and Mr. Richard Fort, the Liberal, that both these gentlemen should retire, and allow the former sitting members to be re-elected without a contest. The nomination took place in the Shire Hall, Lancaster Castle, at ten o'clock on Tuesday morning ; Mr. T. W. Blundell, the High Sheriff, presiding. J. W. Patten, Esq., was proposed by Mr. T. B. Crosse, and seconded by Mr. T. B. Addison. Mr. Garnett proposed, and Mr. Richd. Fort seconded, the nomination of James Heywood, Esq. No other candidates being proposed, the High Sheriff declared that John Wilson Patten , Esq., and James Hey wood, Esq., were duly elected members of Parliament for the northern division of the county palatine of Lancaster. Mr. PATTEN then addressed the electors, and stated that it was evident to any one who went amongst the working classes that their condition was much improved; but, at the same time, it was certain that the agricultural interest was in a state of great depression, although that interest had done much to benefit themselves by the adoption of improved modes of cultivation. Mr. HEYWOOD, in returning thanks, expressed himself in favour of a large revision of our colonial system, and .• the withdrawal of - our troops from such distant stations as Canada ; of an inquiry into the system of taxation pressing particularly upon the agricultural interest ; of a reform in Parliament which, whilst giving members to such places as Burnley, Colne, and Accrington, would also allow the county of Lancaster to be divided, as pro posed by. Lord Derby's Government ; and of an inquiry into the system of education in Maynootb. He was for vote by ballot, five-years parliaments, and no property qualification for members. After the conclusion of Mr. Heywood's address, Mr. Patten moved, and the former gentleman seconded, a vote of thanks to the High Sheriff, and the proceedings terminated. SOUTH LANCASHIRE. The nomination for South Lancashire took place on Wednesday last at Newton ; and there being no opposi tion, the attendance was not numerous, the muster con sisting chiefly of the League party from Manchester. Af ter the usual preliminaries had been gone through, Mr. T. BAZLEY, president of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, proposed Mr. William Brown, of Rich mond-hill, in the county of Lancaster, as a fit and proper person to represent the southern division of the county in Parliament. (Vehement cheering.) Mr. T. THOILNELY, of Liverpool, M.P. for Wolver hampton, seconded the nomination. Mr. H. ASHWORTH, of Turton, near Manchester,-pro posed the nomination of Mr. Cheetham, of Staleybridge. Mr. W. RATHBONE, of Liverpool, seconded the nomi nation. There being no other candidate, the Sheriff declared Messrs. Brown and Cheetham Members for the southern division of the county, an announcement which was re ceived with great cheering. Mr. Buowx returned thanks, and quoted a mass of statistics to prove that the country had progressed under free trade. In reply to a question put by Mr. Al derman Kay, of Manchester, as to whether, in case of Lord John Russell being again at the head of Govern ment, he would use his exertions to " help the clan of the Elliots being excluded from office," he said he did not think " there was any probability of that family party being assembled again." Mr. CHEETHAM next addressed the electors, and prin cipally dwelt upon the importance of an extension of the franchise. A vote of thanks to the Sheriff, Mr. T. W. Blundell, terminated the proceedings. NORTH CHESHIRE. The election for North Cheshire took place on Tuesday last, at Knntsford, when William Tatton Egerton, Esq., and George Cornwall Legh, Esq., were unanimously re elected. The two hon. members briefly addressed the electors, both admitting that a corn-law could not be re-established, and expressing their reliance upon the indomitable perseverance of the British agriculturists for bringing about the relief of the temporary distress under which they were labourinz. The hon. members also ex pressed themselves favourable to an inquiry into the system of education in Maynooth College. SOUTH CHESHIRE. The election of two knights to serve in the ensuing Parliament for the southern division of the county of Chester, took place on Wednesday last, at the Shire-hall, Chester Castle. The High Sheriff, G. Holland Ackers, Esq., pres;ded. After the writ, &c., had been read, Mr. CORBETT proposed Sir Philip de Malpas Grey Egerton as a fit and proper person for the representation of South Cheshire. Mr. ANTROBUS seconded the nomination in a speech expressive of his confidence in the Derby administration. Mr. R. WILBRAHAM, sen., proposed John Jervis Tol lemache, Esq., as the colleague of Sir Philip Egerton. He remarked, that, feeling that certain responsibilities rested upon a nominator, he had closely watched Mr. Tollemache's political conduct for some years past, and was perfectly satisfied with it. (Cheers.) Mr. J. F. FRANCE seconded the nomination. The SHERIFF. haring inquired whether there was any other candidate to be proposed, and receiving no reply, declared Sir Philip Egerton, Bart., and Mr. Tollemache to be duly elected. Sir PHILIP EGERTON then addressed the electors, and expressed himself adverse to an extension of the franchise and to the ballot, and in favour of protection to the far mer, the colonial proprietor, and the shipowner. He was in favour of the repeal of the Mavnooth grant, and on every ground desired a fair trial for Lord Derby.. Mr. Tox.r.EmAcriz said he was not an advocate for high p?otective duties, but for that amount to which particular interests were justly entitled. He rejoiced that the state of the country since free-trade measures were carried was not so bad as he expected, but he attributed it to the sudden discoveries of gold, and the vest amount of specie which had arrived in this country and filled the banks. With respect to the Church of England, he desired to see an addition to the Episcopate; the revenues of the Church placed under a system of management ; and any surplus applied to the augmentation of small livings, or the crea tion of new ones. Upon all other principal points he agreed with Sir Philip Egerton. A vote of thanks was then given to the Sheriff, and the .proceedings terminated. NORTH LINCOLNSHIRE.—Mr. R. A. Christopher, ml nisterialist, Sir M. Cholmeley, liberal, and Mr. J. B. Stanhope, ministerialist, were nominated on Friday. The polling was to commence yesterday. WEST GLOUCESTERSHIRE.—The nomination took place on Wednesday, and the polling is fixed for yester day and to-day. WEST SURREY.—The nomination of Messrs. 11.

Carew, Conservative, (the old members,) and Mr. Ken dall, the Derbyite, were nominated on Saturday. The polling is fixed for to-day and to-morrow.

Colonel Hunter Blair was proposed by Colonel Ferrier Hamilton, seconded by Mr. Love, of Threepwood. Mr. Oswald, the late M.P. for the county, proposed Mr. Cardwell, the late member for Liverpool. Mr. Campbell, of Cra igie, seconded the nomination. There being no other candi dates proposed, Colonel Blair addressed the people. Mr. Cardwell was not present. The show of hands was in favour of Mr. Cardwell. Poll demanded for Colonel Blair, and fixed for Tuesday. NOMINATION DAYS. BEDFORDSHIRE—Yesterday, (Monday,) July 19.

The conduct of the priest-led mobs at most of tho con tested elections in Ireland has been of a very outrageous character ; and in several places the return of Popish Radical candidates has been achieved by brute force and intimidation alone. CORK.—In this city the outrages commenced on Satur day evening, and were continued on Sunday night, large mobs perambulating the city, and knocking at the doors of the supporters of Colonel Chatterton to intimidate them against voting. On the morning of Monday, the great day of polling, they proceeded to actual violence, stoning without mercy, and assaulting with bludgeons the voters for tho Conservative candidates. At half-past eight o'clock two gentlerden, who had just voted, wereattacked by a mob of 500 persons, and, severely ill-treated, one of them being stabbed in the head by a sharp instrument. Shortly after four other gentlemen, named Bradford, were murderously assailed at one of theolling booths, and one of them, an aged man, was frightfully cut in the head and had his gold watch and his hat stolen. A clergyman was assailed in the same booth, and a sub-inspector of police in endeavouring to protect him, was severely cut in the face with a stone. After this, complete terrorism existed throughout the city ; and an, information sworn _to by Mr, French, as justice of the peade, states that " after one o'clock any persons coming to the-Poll to vote for Colonel Chatterton could not proceed with safety, to their lives. "Throughout the day," remarks the Cork Constitution, the "dilapidation of houses and the assault ing of voters continued almost uninterruptedly by vast mobs, who perambulated all the streets of the city, drag ging people from their houses to vote. and surrounding those of others, to prevent their voting. These outrages, it cannot be denied, are the result of the peace arrange ments, which were most effective in allowing the mobs to run riot through the city. To swell these mobs, bands of desperate women, more savage in their demeanour than the most brutal men, were brought in from rural parishes, and over 100 of them took their discharges from the Cork workhouse on Monday morning, and so well did they all execute their order, that even Mr. Fagan, when address ing them in the evening, could not help ejaculating, " Glory to the women of Cork ! Them are we to thank for our position to-day !" ** * * The Protestant Churches seemed to be specially decreed for attack. The mobs broke the windows in several of them, and tore up the trees in their burial grounds. Even the aged Protes tant female alms-houses were not forgotten—that of Blarney-lane was tattered unmercifully." Whilst these outrages were going on some 2,000 dragoons, infantry, and police, under the orders of a stipendiary magistrate, were slowly parading the principal streets in almost use less array ; and, even when they were assailed by the mob with stones and other missiles, no orders were given them to repel the assailants. Under these circumstances, it will be seen that out of a list containing about 3,000 voters, only two-thirds voted. The following is the close of the poll : Murphy .. Fagan ... . . . 1220 Chatterton Perrier .. On Wednesday evening a very numerous and influential meeting was held, when a series of resolutions were passed, expressive of the determination of the Conservative elec tors to support Colonel Chatterton in the prosecution of a petition against the return of Mr. Serjeant Murphy and Mr. Fagan. A. sum of £6OO was subscribed in the room, Mr. Hudson, M.P., putting down his name for £lOO. — As a specimen of the influence exercised by the Roman Catholic priesthood, we quote the following from the Cork Constitution :—As one of a number of poor fellows said on Saturday to a gentleman to whom they had promised to vote, as they had before voted, for Colonel Chatterton —" We'd like to vote for the colonel, sir, but what can we do ? The priest has been here and he told us we'd go to hell if we voted for Colonel Chatterton ; and you know, sir, we don't go against the priest, for we have no one but him to look to when we're dying, and he won't give us the rites of our church if we go against him." LIMERICK.—In Limerick the same murderous scenes were witnessed which took place in Cork, the town being for the two days of polling literally in the hands of the mob, of which the most violent portion were women. The third dragoons and infantry were pelted with stones. Five of the dragoons were unhorsed, and two of the officers wounded in the face with stones.. The benches, &c. in the Court-house were torn in pieces, and one man thrown out of the gallery, and spiked on the railings outside.. In the evening there were thirteen persons in the hospital severely injured ; and the windows of every Roman Catholic elector who had promised to support Mr. Russell, the Protestant candidate, were shivered to atoms. On Tuesday the same violent conduct was continued ; and the houses of several voters for Mr. Russell were gutted. Notwithstanding, it will be seen from the following return that that gentleman was elected Potter ... .. •• • •-• Russell.... O'Brien . Mac Donnell .. . WATERFORD. — In this borough the pro-Papist mob was tolerably well kept in order by the police, assisted by a strong body of military. The most gross intimidation and obstruction of voters prevailed, however ; and Sir Henry Barron, one of the defeated candidates, has-made an affidavit of the fact, and declared his intention to peti tion. The following is the return, as given in a second edition of the Waterford Mail, which has been obligingly forwarded to us : Meagher .. Keating Christmas Barron ' KING'S COUNTY.—In this county the language of the priests in their chapels has become of the most seditious character, the most fearful anathemas being launched on the heads of those who will vote against their priests and their religion." The Dublin Evening Herald, of Thursday, states that On last Sunday, so violent was the language made use of by a priest in Banagher Chapel, against the government and constitution of the country, that the officer in charge of a detachment of the 9th Regiment, quartered in that town, felt it his duty to direct the men to retire from the house of worship." The poll ing is fixed to take place on Thursday and Friday next. DUBLIN.—We 'published the return for Dublin in our last. Similar atrocities have been perpetrated by the Papist mobs in Dublin to those which have disgraced Limerick and Cork. At the close of the poll, on Satur day, an attempt was made to carry, off the poll books, which was successfully resisted by the police. An attack was made upon St. Peter's Church, in which between thirty and forty panes of glass were smashed. Some windows ware also broken in Molyneux Asylum Chapel. Windows were also demolished in Stephen's-green, and other parts. On Monday night, there were no less than nine policemen so severely injured as to be compelled to go to, the Hospital. BELFAST--.. 111 this town an attack was made on Taes day last, on the house of a man named Ball, a Protestant, after which preparations seem to have been made by both Roman Catholics and Protestants for a general fight. Two men and a woman had been previously wounded by pistol shots in the affray at Ball's house. In the evening, after the mill hands had left work, the general fight began, and was carried on with great ferocity for nearly an hour, notwith standing all the efforts of the police to restore order. The Belfast News-Letter states that :—" For nearly an hour a desperate fight continued almost without intermission, notwithstanding all the efforts of the small body of con stabulary to restore order. The two parties successively assailed each other, and retired, according to the fortune of the fight, or as either were driven off by the police. The attack was not confined to the persons of their adver saries. They began to wreck the houses on either side of the street, each party assailing those in which the families of the opposite party resided. The windows were demo lished with stones to such an extent, that at this moment there is scarcely a single window in Durham-street which is not completely demolished, in many of them the sashes being completely torn out. Firearms were now in requi sition, and many of the combatants, some from the street and others from the houses, kept up a continual volley from muskets and large pistols, which gave-the spectator the idea of a town being sacked. We have been credibly informed that upwards of sixty shots from loaded firearms were fired during this affray ; and that one man (a Ro manist) was seen to take deliberate aim and fire from a window ih his house, at least 15 times into the street be low." It is ascertained that one life has been lost ; but the wounded amount to a great number. COUNTY TIPPERARY.—The priesthood of Tipperary seem to be inviting outrage; and, in the placards which they allow to be posted on their chapel walls, the most horrible blasphemies are perpetrated. The following is a PPeCialint from one: which 1§ WOO " 11011 bNlic lQv,e ;" RIPON. The Yorkshireman, in describing the riotous proceed= ings of the mob at the declaration of the poll at Ripon, says :—" This disgraceful conduit prevailed to the termi nation of the proceedings, which were, necessarily closed without the members being able to address the electors. On Mr. Beckett and Mr. Lascelles going down from the hustings, the mob surrounded them, - and, sorry are we to add, were guilty of much violence towards them—espe cially to Mr. Lascelles, whom they threw down, and, with savage ferocity, tore his hat and other portions of his clothes to shreds. The hon. gentleman was, however, soon rescued by his friends, and, we are happy to add, escaped without any serious injury. Consequent on these disgraceful proceedings, the ceremony 'of chairing the members will be dispensed with. SANDWICH. Our talented townsman, the able chairman of the South-Eastern Railway Company, has been returned one of the barons for the united borough of Sandwich, Deal, and Weimer, in conjunction with Lord Charles P. P. Clinton. They were returned without a contest ; for though it was not known till a few hours previously that Mr. Macgregor was in the field ; as soon as it became known, the Whig candidate Lord Paget ran away. Mr. Macgregor, in an able address, delivered after his election; avowed himself a firm supporter of Lord Derby's Govern ment, and " hostile to Popery in every phase and form which it can assume." OXFORD UNIVERSITY. Although the retirement of Dr. Marsham was com municated on Tuesday evening, and announced by both committees, it appears that the poll could not be closed until Wednesday, as it had been arranged that it should remain open until that time, in order to afford every pos sible facility for voters from a distance to record their votes. The contest was considered to be virtually at an end, and only a very few votes were recorded on Wednes day, as will be seen by the returns. Dr. Marsham's committee issued no returns at all. The poll closed at seven o'clock, and the following are the returns which have been issued by Mr. Gladstone's committee :—lnglis, 1,368 ; Gladstone, 1,108 ; Marsham, 758. EDINBURGH.—Mr. Macaulay has been returned by the City of Edinburgh at the head of the poll. The following were the numbers at the close, as decided by the sheriff — Mr. Macaulay . Mr. Cowan .. 1.754 Lord Provost MiLaren ..... 1,559 Mr. Bruce . .... 1666 Mr. Campbell Amongst the interesting features at this contest was the appearance at the polling booth, to give his vote for Mr. Macaulay, of Professor Wilson, the." Christopher North" of Blackwood's Magazine, who, although suffering from the effects of paralysis, has paid his homage to eminent literary talent. Mr. HORSMAN.---It is said that there is a strong pro bability of this gentleman being returned for a Scotch county, in which his uncle, the venerable Earl Stair, has in fluence. ELECTION property and ELECTION or SCOTTISH PEERS.—The following repre sentative peers were elected at Edinburgh on Thursday : The Marquis of Tweedale, the Earl of Morton, the Earl of Home, the Earl of Strathmore, the Earl of Airlie, the Earl of Leven, the Earl of Selkirk, the Earl of Orkney, Lord Seafield, Lord Saltoun, Lord Grey, Lord Sinclair, Lord Elphinstone, Lord Blantyre, Lord Colville, and Lord Polwarth.

BUCKINGHAMSIIIRB.—The nomination of Mr. Disraeli, Mr. Cavendish, and Mr. Dupre, conservatives, and Dr. Lee, liberal, took place on Friday at ,Iylesburr, The polling was te commence yesterday. —"Up Irishmen for the Old Faith ! Link your strength around the sanctuary. This is no time for Cabals or Feuds. Who would place his hopes in the smiles of an Orange Landlord, while the Holy God of Heaven spreads forth His arms to shelter the faithful defenders of his Church ? Who would support Jocelyn Otway, the sup porter of Derby and his Hell-crew ? Who would vote for Jocelyn Otway, that wants to go to Parliamrnt to help in the destruction of the Catholic Church. The Traitor who would do so never let him enter a Chapel Door. Let his memory be to you as the memory of Judas. Keep from him, for the Devils of Hell are his companions. and no Saint of Heaven will pray for him in his dying hour."

On Tuesday last, Mr. Disraeli, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and his colleague in the representation of Buckinghamshire, Mr. Dupre, dined with a numerous body of their constituents at Newport Pagnell ; and as everything which emanates from the former gentleman is at the present moment of importance, as shadowing forth the intended policy of the Government, of which he is a conspicuous member, we are induced to quote some of the most striking portions of his speech on the occasion. Mr. Disraeli vindicates his opposition to the measure of 1846, which he still considers to have been of too violent a character, injuriously submitting the agriculturist to com petition with the foreigner, without providing any alle viation of the onerous taxation which British industry has to sustain. He regards a return to Protection, however, in as impossible the present temper of the public mind ; and, admitting that a ss. duty would furnish an important source of revenue, he considers that it would not per se be a protection to the British agriculturist. The remedy for the present sufferings of that class is described in the following passages : " Now, gentlemen, it has sometimes been said that the policy I wish to pursue has been of but limited compass ; that it referred only to the burdens entailed upon land by our system of unfair taxation. Well, gentlemen, in the first placA, if there are any particular burdens on one cless which the rest of society do not bear, I say, as a matter of principle, that there ought to be redress. (Hear.) But I utterly deny that at any time I have told you that proper measures of redress were solely or wholly to be got by any advantage which might arise from the ad justment of particular burdens entailed by local taxation. Three years ego, in this room, I advised you to take that particular grievance into your consideration, and to work it out, because your claim for redress was founded upon justice. (" Yes, yes.") And because justice would be sanctioned by the great body of the country. (Cheers.) And what has happened since I thus advised you proves that my advice was a good one, for many gentlemen in the House of Commons who did not represent agricultural constituencies voted for the motions I brought forward on the subject, because they could not withhold their ap proval of what had the high sanction of national justice for its support. (Cheers.) But, gentlemen, I have not told you—l do not tell you now—that this would give you a sufficient, or that this would give you the chief, means of redress. (Hear, hear.) I say no. It is in reviewing— it is in adjusting—the whole system of national taxation ; it is in placing this system upon a just basis that the pro ducer will find that justice which the consumer—which every fair and upright man—could wish him to secure. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, the old question was simply this — You said it required a system of legislation which would secure to you an artificial price. You were always taught to believe that in raising prices you would find redress ; and, in my opinion, it would have been very wise not ma terially to have destroyed the old system. (Hear.) But there is another view of the case—another view of your position—another means by which you may obtain redress—and a means mare practical than recurring to the past—which is beset with infinite difficulties. It is not to increase prices in order that you may have a fair remu neration for your toil ; but it is, gentlemen, to reduce the cost of production. (Immense cheering.) Now, that is the sound advice which the agricultural interest must act upon. (Hear, hear.) You are told that it is one of the necessities for the prosperous condition of England that the bread of the people should be cheap. Well, I say take care that the producer of that bread shall be able to pro duce it as cheap as possible. (Loud cheers.) Now, gentlemen. you will find, if you adopt that view of the case, that you who are occupiers of the soil will more gra dually get the feeling of the country in your favour, and, at the same time, more perfectly secure compensation for yourselves. It is, as I have said, in reviewing the system of taxation which exists, and in the adjustment of that system, that the cultivators of the soil will find that com pensation which they have a right to expect from the ab rogation of that law which gave them artificial prices (applause); and I say, in accordance with the spirit of the age and with the temper of the country, let your produce now be raised upon the cheapest possible prin ciple. (Applause.) But, then, it follows you must not allow your native produce to be shackled by laws which hinder the producer from competing.with foreign countries. It follows that in the new principle of justice the culti vators or the soil shall no longer remain the only class incapable of receiving a fair profit for their industry. It follows you must take care that the same justice be done to all her Majesty's subjects. (Cheers.) And lam well aware, gentlemen, if the question be viewed in that light, and if taxation shall certainly be placed upon a new prin ciple, I am convinced we shall be able to bring forward measures of relief which will receive the sympathy, and approbation, and support of all the various classes of this country." As to the prospects of Lord Derby's government being able to carry out this policy, he proceeds : " Well, I say, gentlemen, it is, in my opinion, the duty of a Government to redress the grievances under which the agriculturists have unjustly suffered. I say more, it is their duty to do so, if they have the opportunity ; and I say further, it is their duty to meet the electors of the country, and to ask from them the opportunity of effect ing this redress. (Cheers.) And what are our prospects, gentlemen, of success in that particular ? If I thought we could only obtain that redress by a continuation of support from the counties of England, although I might think the case abstractedly a just one ; although I might feel that being just we should not refrain from doing that which is founded in justice, yet I: could only do it with regret ; under such , circumstances I might shrink from at tempting the great risk of conciliation. (Hear, hear.) But as far as I can view the appeal which my Lord Derby has made to the nation, I see no evidence that only one class—the agricultural class—is about to give its sanction to such views. (Hear.) I see some of the greatest towns in the country (A Voice—", Liverpool") eagerly and zealously advancing to give IA the opportunity of bringing forward these measures, and that they believe such remedial measures to be just and necessary. An hon. friend had just mentioned Liverpool, and Liverpool is the greatest port of England (cheers), much more extensive than London. But this decision of Liverpool is not un accompanied by others equally startling and satisfactory. The city of Dublin (cheers) has done the same ; and I have learned within these last few hours that the great manufacturing town of Belfast—the Manchester of Ire land—has returned two members to support the Govern. ment. (Loud cheers.) And if I take the other great ports of the country—Dover, Greenwich, and Plymouth (cheers)—l find the same result." The alternative which is now before the country—the maintenance of the Derby administration or anarchy—is described with a force of eloquence of which Mr. Disraeli alone is master : " It is my firm conviction that the government of Lord Derbywillinect parliament in the autumn with an absolute majority. (Cheers.) To me that is not a subject of doubt. And the ministry shall, therefore, no longer have to meet a hostile parliament, or be restrained in its policy by an overpowering opposition. We shall meet parlia ment prepared to do cur duty, under a firm conviction that the country will steadily support us. My hon. friend (Mr. Dupre) has referred to the position in which the country would be placed if the government did not suc ceed. Gentlemen, I will not conceive the alternative ; but at the same time no one can be blind to the fact that the opposition will create its organisation upon revolu tionary principles. (Hear, hear.)_ Happy was the pre science of Lord Derby when he told the Whig opposition that the pear was not ripe last year. (Laughter.) The whigs were in office. They have shown us their character, 'and their policy has been received with universal scouting by the country; and they cannot, gentlemen, attain to popularity again, except by calling to their councils the Jacobin clubs of. Lancashire. (Loud laughter.) But I feel, gentlemen, that the present government is necessary for the preservation of the English constitution ; but the future institution of the opposition already peeps from its. shell and developes its horns, and from that shell the opposition cannot emerge except enveloped in the shrine of sedition. • (Continued laughter.) A change in the institutions of the country will be the condition of its. success • and you must indeed be false to all your profes sions—false to that high spirit which Englishmen have ever shown—false to the traditionary association of your country, if you suffer an opposition, founded upon such principles, to govern this nation. (Cheers.) Well, then, gentlemen, when we meet in the. County-hall on Friday, I want to know if you will support the principles and practices which I have so feebly detailed ? (Loud cries of " Yes, yes,") Will you be prepared to say , "We shall have justice done to the soil—(" Yes, yes")—we shall have our legislation conceived in the spirit of the age—(" Yes, yes")—which is the spirit of justice." (Cheers.) Will you be prepared to say, "We will have the Protestant constitution of this country preserved, not with the sectarianism of bigots, but with those who believe that Protestantism is the only safeguard of English liberty." (Loud cheers.) These, gentlemen, are the issues before you. Be prepared to fight against those difficulties and compunctions which an unwise andeccentric opposition may create, and in the ancient spirit of the men of Buckinghamshire, which has congered in times that are past, and which now, I believe, will carry us on to that higher triumph which yet awaits us. (Loud and repeated cheering.)"

IMPROVED UNDERSTANDING WITH BRAZIL.—The an nexed is from the private correspondence of the Daily News, of Saturday, under date of the 15th ; and just brought by the Tay :—Senhor Paulino, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, had notified to the Chambers that Lord Malmesbury had withdrawn the offensive and hostile in structions given by Lori Palmerston to the British crui sers to follow vessels they suspected of being engaged in the slave trade into the rivers and ports of Brazil, and thence take or even cut them out by violence. This an nouncement had given satisfaction, both in and out the Chambers ; and hopes were very generelly entertained that the Brazilian Government would reciprocate the con cession by sending powers to the Brazilian Minister in London to put an end to the unpleasant relations that had so long prevailed between the two countries by eon• eluding a new slave trade treaty with England. `-`" TO THE PROTESTANT ELECTORS oFMANCHESTa FELLOW-PROTESTANTS, —Disappointed, but not heartened by the result of your late Election, I c a r take leave of the subject without a few parting remarss•of We have been deceived, but we have not bee guiltlfor deception. Between five and six thousand pledges _ , the Protestant Candidates fully justified the con fident to n !. with which I spoke of the probable issue of th e conta-! Not to have been confident would have been a breaeh a i s charity.

Was it their Faith, or their Treu that swayed them es ill As for the Dissenters, they have shewn theM seS their true colours : with some splendid excep tions their more splendid because so few—they have allowed sectarianism to outweigh their Protestantism. fth As for the Wesleyan Methodists, the majority o f have " quitted themselves like men," and ere" - t or there is something dearer to them than either se° trade. a ill The efforts of some of our friends have been b e Y ell praise. Had the zeal of all our supporters borne aq P g , portion to that of a few, success must have crowned n to been We have been defeated,—but has our struggle f b gall• / vain ? Far from it.
