THE ELECrIONS.

SIR JAMES GRAHAM IN CARLISLE,

On Thursday, Sir James Graham addressed the
people of Carlisle. in the Mirne of his speech, he saw—
I think that the measure of reform passed in Is:12 was a
largo and ample measure, framed strictly fur the purp",.
effecting a great change of a permanent character, in,urng
to the people of this country larger ionuence in the admin-
istration of affairs, and the principles of in better govrn.
ment. (Cheers.) I think that measure was successful to
accomplishing the object it had in view. I ant net prepiod
to say it was a perfect measure. I will not deny that it Lan
many imperfection., and that it requires much alteration.
(Ilear, hear.) lam not singular in that "pinion. llpr
Majesty in her speech at the upeaing of parliament was ad-
vised to say that the time had arrived when that measure
should be revised, and I am of opinion Mime that recommen-
dation from so high a quarter has been given, that a revision
of that measure cannot long be postponed. (('heers) I
am not prepared to say (though I speak with.ut reference
to particular details) that the amendment lately introduced
into parliament wan a perfect amendment. (('heers.) I
am decidedly of opinion that if the Iteturm Art of P 432 is
to be revised it must be founded on the principle laid
down by that great and gond man with whom I was wow-
' elated for some time in the hume department of state.
(Ilear, hear.) You must not group small borough, toge-
ther, joining little to little, and corruptem to rot minion—
(" Oh, oh," and hear)—but you must proceed in the march
of reform by disfranchising those corrupt boroughs, and M
their place distributing the privilege, of repnsentation
amongst larger populations and more worthy eonsiii,,,
cies. (Cheers.) I should not d. cm it right to eat' r
into micute detail, hut I should tell you foes/
that in distributing the representative privilege )
should pay respect to numbers in some degree, but at
the same time I do think that with gnat advantage the
representative power might be confer', don parties
sing intelligence and science to an eminent degree, who do
not now return repress ntatives. (Cheers.) 1 cannot say
at once lam prepared to recur to secret voting. 'Ay INA
is to make every effort to exterminate intimidation and
bribery by every other means, and tritil convinced that
that is impossible I should only device you I/ saying I am
prepared to pledge myself to the ballot. I have said that
the present time is a critical one. I admit that he is a
daring man who, in the face of public opinion and the et.
perience of the last five years, shall venture to attempt the
'reimposition of • corn-law in this country. But .till
that attempt, we were told, until very lately, was to
be made when Lord nerdy and his friends came into
power. It has now assumed an ambiguous shape.
There is the direct mode of imposing the corn laws and
the indirect mode of avoiding the reimposition of the corn
laws. They arc seeking to accomplish the object by trans-
ferring those no-called burthens of agriculture to the taxa-
tion which is borne by the great body of the people. I for
one would rather meet the direct sod bold assault of an
open foe, than countenance the insidious and indirect at-
' tack to which I have referred. (Cheers.) Lord George
Bentinek, in the very year before he died, gave us a sketch
of the budget which he would profs..., and Lard Derby
and Mr. Disraeli are two of the party to which Lord
George belonged. What was the course he would pur-
sue 2 He intended to relieve the and by imposing •
duty upon corn. I believe that to he no longer pm-
sible. Ile then proposed to re-impose the import duty
upon cotton, one of your raw materials. Ile pro-
posed to increase the ditty on timber to greatly in-
crease the duty on sugar; and also—and if ono thing
more than another tends to promote the comfort of men, it
is the cheap communication with distant relations and
friends—he proposed to double the postage upon all your
letters. (Hear, hear.) So that we have corn, your daily
bread ; sugar, that little luxury which we may place next
to bread ; cotton, that affects immediately the labour of the
poor, especially in a city like this, where the raw =tend
advances the demand for labour, and operates unduly on
your wages. It also operates to increase the clothing of the
poorest men and women who walk your streets, nod who
are large consumer* Then if you come to touch tobacco
and spirits, these are the little 'ovaries in which the hum-
blest seek from time to time, as well as their betters, a short
oblivion from the cares and troubles of this life. (Laughter
and cheers.) lam not disposed to ask you to compensate
the agricultural interest by tampering with any of these
heads of taxation. (Hear, hear.) Ou the contrary, I be-
lieve that if you adhere still to the policy you have been
pursuing, the time will come when the duty on tea, soil
perhaps tobacco, will be lowered, and a large revenue yet
be raised to the state. (Hear, hear.) Hut everything de-
pends upon your adherence to free trade principles.

HUDDERSFIELD.—A new candidate in in the field
at Huddersfield, iu the person of Mr. William Witham., a
merchant of much popularity. Mr. Cheethain has nival
again to contest the borough, and the battle e. now likely
to be between the present member, Mr. W. It. C. Sues-
field, and Mr. Williams, both of whom are liberals, though
differing in degree. Mr. Williams is of the school of Cob-
den, and Mr. fitansfield favours the views of the whip.

LIVERPOOL—Our correspondent states that Mr.
Forbes Mackenzie and Mr. Charts. Turner, on the masa-
vative side, end Sir Thos. Birch and Mr. Cardwell as re-
presenting free trade, may safely be looked upon as the
candidates for the representation of this borough at the
forthcoming election, although they have not as yet issued
addresses, which, however, may doubtless be looked for
after the presentation of the requisitions now in course of
signature to each of these gentlemen. The requisition to
the two former has been receiving signatures for a week
past, and that to the two latter fur the last four days.
PEBTII.—The Right lion. Fox Manic has issued
an address to the electors of Perth, announcing ho inten-
tion of retiring from the representation of the fair "City."
at the neat general election. The lion. A. Kinnard has
presented himself as a candidate to supply the vacancy.
Mr. Gilpin is also to be brought forward as a candidate, and
there is some talk of the protectionists introducing the
Hon. C. Lyon.

WaLLINGFORD.—A correspondent says every pre-
paration is being made here for a contest at the approach=
election. The field is now taken by Mr. Malin., Q.O
the Chancery bar, introduced by the former friends of Mt.
Blackstone, the present member, as a ron.ervative and pro-
tectionist ; and Mr. Alfred Morrison ..on of Mr. Morri,n.
of Bouldnn Park, near this town, and many years M.P. lot
Inverness), is brought out on the liberal interest, pledgins
himself to oppose in parliament every attempt to re impse
an import duty on corn.
IVaLsALL.—On Wednesday evening, Mr. Forster
met the committee formed to promote Ins
which was numerously and respeetauly attended. J. shin'
non, Esq. ex-mayor, in the chair. The necessary orracd, •
ments for organisation were completed, and distrio.
signed to the various members of the committee. Up to
the present time, no other candidate has been announce.]
Mr. Forster, since Mr. Littleton's retirement, has r, d
the undivided support of all sections of the liberal parts,
and his election is regarded by the inhabitants of the d;.,
roagh as perfectly secure.

Principal entraree. Sonic thousands came from the mall'

bourhood, Turner being well known in that district. About
a quarter to 12 the prisoner was led upon the scat old, sod•
the necessary preliminaries having been completed, the drop

rently without a struggle.
Since the condemnation of the wretched man his cos
durt
had been most exemplary. lie expressed his deep pant
at baring perpetrated the awful crime which doomed Ina
to the gallows, and was astonished that he should have be'x
betrayed into the commission of such on act. In to l!
the question, " What has become of the knife ? AA"
that he put it into the tire at a friend's house.
The Rev. Mr. Bannister and the family hare lass
ant ttttt r to obtain satisfactory evitlenee of the pavan, 01
the child. The deceased Mrs. Barnes nelieved that TPn'a
was attempting to impose upon her, after the thNith of Itft
