old Toryisn3, of respected memory, but a supporter
of that more modern, more liberal{ and enlightened
Conservatism which reco,enizell the great principle
of ccmhining progress with preservation. Mr. W.
Egerton, M.P., returned thanks. He said as a Con
sanative be was naturally disposed to give a general
and independent support to the present Government,.
believed it would promote measures of ganeral
benefit, and maintain peace with due regard to the
national honour. He contrasted the ability, fairness,
and moderation with which this Government had
treated the difficult questions of foreign policy
with the mode in which thous questions had
been dealt with by their predecessors in office.
lie believed the Government of India had been ad-
vantageously transferred to the Crown, though the
expediency of the measure at the present juncture
might be questioned. No one could doubt the ability
with which the bill had been conducted by the pre-
sent President of the Board of Control, and its
operation would no doubt greatly facilitate communi-
cation between the authorities at home and those in
India. Lord Derby had promised a Reform Bill,
which he (Mr. Egerton) was confident would he dic.
tated in no party spirit, nor for the benefit of any
particular class, and, though he did not think Re-
fecal was very much demanded in the country, the
increase of education and intelligence was a claim to
a fair extension of tbe fianchise. The question of
church-rates could not long be allowed to remain in
its present state. As a firm supporter of the Church
of England, he would not consent to any abolition
without some compensation to the Church, for with-
out them those time-honoured fabrics erected by oar
ancestors, which it ought to be our pride as well as
it was our duty to maintain, would fall into neglect
and ruin. While advocating a wise and economical
administration of the national finances, he was en-
tirely opposed to shortsighted reduction of our
forces. Mr. Tatton Eger:on, the late member, pro-
posed a vote of thanks to the High Sheriff, and ex-
pressed his heartfelt acknowledgments for the kind-
ness be had received from the constituency during
his twenty-six years representation of them. The
motion was carried by acclamation, and the proceed-
ings concluded with " three times three" for the new
member and the Queen.

(Election Intelligence.

GUILDFORD.—On Monday evening last the friends
of Mr. Evelyn convened a meeting of the electors of
the borough, for the purpose of enabling that gen•
tleman to express his political opinions and the
grounds upon which he sought to be elected to re-
present the borough in the room of Mr. Mangles,
who has been appointed one of the Indian Council,
under the new act relating to the government of
that country. Mr. C. Cooper, one of the magistrates
of the borough, took the chair, and the public hall,
where the meeting took place, was full of the electors.
Mr. Evelyn, having been introduced to the meeting
by the chairman, proceeded to address the electors.
He expressed himself hostile to vote by ballot, to the
abolition of church rates, and Mr. Locke King's
County Franchise Bill. Upon the subject of the
defence of the country, he would observe that be
could not agree with the peace party that the country
ought to be left altogether unprotected, but he
thought that we ought not to keep up a large stand-
inz army, but that there ought to be regiments of
militia and rifle clubs to teach the people the use of
arms, and how to protect themselves all over the
country. He did not believe that we had anything
to fear from the present ruler of France, and he was
of opinion that the outcry that had been made
.in
the press, upon the subject of our relations with
that country, was quite unjustifiable, and was cal-
culated to produce nothing but mischief.
LEOMINSTER.—Two candidates are at present in
the field for this borough. Captain Hanbury,
brother of Lord Bateman, Conservative; and Mr.
Wilde, nephew of the late Lord Truro, Radical.

(Mr. G. F. Wilbrahatn ) having gone through the
usual formalities, Mr. T. W. Tattoo (of Wythen-
shaw) proposed Mr. Wilbraham Egerton (son of the
late member), of Rostherne-hall, as a fit and pro Per
person to represent this division of the county. That
gentleman was proposed because there wag the

Al EXCITING CHASE AND CAPTURE.

James Sutton Elliott was senior military store-
keep. at Weedon, near Lmidon, ranking as lieu
tenant-oolonel, receiving nearly 2,0001. a year, and
could have retired at any moment on half-pay, having
served about thirty-five years. He is between fifty
and sixty years of age. Ou the '22nd of May he
absconded, and is charged with embezzling 10,800
dots. of the Government money, leaving an aged wife
but no children, and bringing away an actress named
St. Clair, about twenty-five years of age. They left
England in the America on the 22nd of May, and
arrived at Boston on the sth of June, under the name
a Mr. and Mrs. Brooks. On the 111th of June Mr.
Robert W. Bowyer, special detective, was applied to
by Mr. Henry Whittaker, a lawyer of this city (New
York), to take the papers and try to trace the de-
faulter. Mr. Bowyer went to Boston, and there got
a trail of the fugitive through the Custom-house
officer who passed his baggage. Mr. Bowyer had
been apprized from England that the runaway had
assumed the name of Brooks, and had a young
woman with him. Mr. Bowyet here found his sig•
nature," J. Brooks," by which lie traced hint to the
Tremont-house and there obtained a tnlre accurate
description of IL the man and his paramour, who
was a small, dark, attractive personage, and was
louspicuoui among the hotel boarders. lie learned
that they left on the 7th, in the three p.m. express, for
New Yurk. Mr. Bowyer followed, and made every
search here, but did not find them. He then judged
that they had left the New York line at Springfield
and made for Albany, whither he now proceeded,
some fortnight behind them. Mr. Bowyer tracked
them (by the defaulter's handwriting) at the Delavan,
where he had entered the names of " Mr. Everett
and lady, of Toronto." They had remained in
Albany till the morning of the 9th, and then took
the western train. Tbe next trace Mr. Bowyer found
of them was at Syracuse•house, where Elliott had
declined giving his name, but remained two days,
living on the fat of the land, as usual. Mr. Bowyer
next traced them in Buffalo, where they were booked
as " Mr. and Mrs. Edwards," remaining two days at
the American hotel. Mr. Bowyer next traced him at
the International Hotel, Niagara Falls, when: the
parties were booked as " Mr. and Mrs. Evans." Mr.
Bowyer failed to trace them at the Clifton, at
Saratago, or at any other point above Albany, though
he was satisfied that they were on their return to the
coast. He next struck them on the Isaac Newton,
where they were booked as " Mr. and Mrs. Everett,"
arriving in New York on the morning of June 15.
Mr. Bowyer then traced them to the St. Nicholas,

SIR JOHN LAWRENCE, BAWL'., 0.C.8.

Sin JOHN LAIRD Matti LAWRENCE' G.C.8., Chief
Commissioner of the Punjano, who has been em
phatically styled the man who has saved India durine,
the recent mutiny, is a brother of the late lamented
Sir Henry Lawrence, K.C.8., who was killed in the
siege of Lucknow.
This pair of distinguished officers of the Honour-
able East India Company's Service are of Irish
blood and extraction—like Wellington, Wellesley,
fil‘Nagliten, and a host of other distinguished
names—and they are children of whom the sister
island may well feel proud. Their careers have run
to the last most wonderfully parallel to each ether,
and we may add that they have been followed at no
long distance from each other by a third brother,
though one less known to public tame, Colonel
George St. Patrick Lawrence, 2nd 8.L.C., at present
holding a command in Itsjpoolana. Of this tamily,
the late Sir Henry Lawrence was one of the elder
sons, and Sir John Lawrence one of the youngest.
Their father was the late Lieut.-Colonel Alexander
Lawrence, an officer of the King's service, sometime
Governor of Upnor Castle, and who gained consider-
able distinction in the Mysore campaigns, under the
Marquis Cornwallis, and in the siege of Sering-
apatam. Their mother—a second Cornelia, the
mother of the Gracehi—was a daughter of the late
Captain Knox, a member of a highly respectable
family of the north of Ireland, which long held
landed property in the county of Donegal.
Sir John Lawrence was born in India in 1810, and
received his early education, like his brother, in Lon-
donderry, and subsequently at the East. India College,
ll.iileybury. He obtained his nomination to India
as a writer, April 30, 1829, and was sworn in on the
following 3rd of June. On the Ist of July he
received notification of his actual appointment, and
arrived in India on February 0, 18:30. In the early
part of his career, in January, 1831, he became
assistant to the Chief Commissioner and Resident at
Delhi ; in December, 1833, we find him promoted to
the post of officiating magistrate and collector at
Delhi ; from which, a year later, he was traesferreil
to a similar appointment at Pamput. In July, 1836,
he was appointed joint magistrate and deputy
collector of Goorgaon, and the southern division of
Delhi, anti in the November of the same year, offi-
ciating magistrate of the southern division only. In
183.,3, he was transferred to the sole charge of
Goorgeon. Before the close of the same year we
find him conilnciing the settlement ditties in Zillah
Elawall. In February, 1840, he proceeded to Europe
on the usual Ntioughi taud didi gm returnto lndia
until Doneraber, 1842.

CONSPIRACY FOR THE MA•it'ACRE OF THE CHRISTIANS.
Msnstm.t.r:s, Aug. N.
The Conrilr de Constantinople of the 4th instant
Rta tes that the late collisions ut Bosnia, in Turkish
Croatia, and in Montenegro, have caused a sort of
panic in the capital. The Mussulmans and the
Christians were living in mutual fear of one another.
The Sultan, to show his own contiilernle, hail gone
in the fleet on an excursion to Smyrna and the Archi-
pelago.
A plot, having for its object the massacre of the
Christians, had been discovered at Smyrna. The
Governor had made a seizure of arms, and sent the
guilty persons to Constantinople.
A scandalous rise had been effected in the
exchanges; but, the Divan having given orders to
the bankers to reduce them, a fall had begun.
The Turkish Government has announced that a
pension of 12,000 francs would be allowed to the
heirs of the Page family, and that 1,000,000 piastres
had been granted to the other victims.

PARIS, Thursday.
OF all the successes in foreign policy obtained thus
far by the Derby Cabinet, the greatest, without ques-
tion, is the visit of the Queen to Cherbourg. That
event is of immense political importance ; it may
almost, without exaggeration, be said to rank next to
the signing of the treaty between England and
France for making war on Russia. It rolls away the
clouds of distrust, suspicion, and dislike which
recent events and newspaper squabblings caused to
exist between the two countries; it places their alli-
ance on a firmer basis than it over stood on before—
ay, even during the war; it baffles for many a day
to come the Russian intriguers, and their continental
creatures, whose object is, at whatever cost, to bring
about a separation between the two nations. To
appreciate fully this great event, a man should have
been living for some time in the political circles of
Paris. He would then see clearly how completely
has given way to good feeling, disquietude to
confidence, the dread of war to the conviction that
peace will be maintained ; be would see that the
friends of the Emperor are exultant, because they
feel that his Throne has bee►, consolidated ; he would
see tbat even the eminent statesmen and politicians
of former days are, in spite of their dislike to the Em-
pire, glad exceedingly, because France has been
snatched from the side of despotic Russia, and placed
shoulder to shoulder with liberal England—a nobler
alliance far. He would see that almost all the conti.
nental diplomatists, great and small, appear relieved
from a load of anxiety, because the Cherbourg interview
was—Peace. And, after a few minutes' conversation
with banker and merchant, he would learn that as
complete a transformation has taken place in the
commercial as in the political world—the rente and
all other securities having, after months of depres•

THE QUEEN'S SPEECH AND THE
COUNTRY GENTLEMEN.

Ix the Queen's Speech, at the close of the Session,
the country members of the House of Commons
had addressed to them the following advice :

" Many of you, in returning to your respective
counties, have extensive influence to exercise,
and duties to perform, of hardly less value to the
community than those from the labours of which
you are about to be released; and her Majesty
entertains a confident assurance that, under the
guidance of PROVIDENCE, that influence will be
so employed, and those duties so performed, as to
redound to your own honour, to promote the
general welfare, and the happiness of a loyal and
contented people."

This was just advice. Legislation is not all
carried on at St. Stephen's. There is the legisla-
tion of local improvement, carried on by influence
and example, to which we feel certain the country
gentlemen of England will not be slow in giving
their attention. But it may help to give a direction
to their thoughts and exertions, if we take occa-
sion, from this passage in the Queen's Speech, to
suggest some considerations to them in relation to
these matters, and then point out certain amelio-
rations in the condition of those around them
which they might with advantage make.
TIT improvement of the condition, moral
and social, of the labouring poor, is a subject to
which our country gentlemen would do well to
turn their attention. Even in a physical point of
view this is of importance, since the health, and
strength for labour, of this large class of the com-
munity must depend very much upon their moral
and social habits. If in their childhood they are
crowded into close houses or badly-ventilated
schools, and have no open, healthful, sunny play-
ground; if they are badly fed in their young
growing years, and are taken too early to hard
work, the natural and necessary consequence is,
that they grow up weak and spiritless, become
sullen and sottish in their disposition, fall into
premature decrepitude, and render not half that
service to society which, under wiser treatment,
they would be capable of rendering. What
fanner knows not that if a horse be taken too
early to work, or when young be overworked and
ill-fed, it is injured for the rest of its days ?
And shall we care less for our labouring men than
for our horses ?

There has been growing up of late years a
widening distance between the different classes
of society, especially between the class with
which country gentlemen used to be surrounded
and in constant intercourse, and those gen-
tlemen themselves. The patriarchal mode of
life in which the lord of the estate lived
formerly in the midst of his subordinate
agents, and carried on all his operations directly
through them, regarding them all as in some
sense members of his family, is almost entirely
gone out. Now he scarcely ever sees them
except in flying visits ; and no humanizing inter-

METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.
THE MAIN DRAINAGE OF THE METROPOLIS.
A SPECIAL meeting of the Metropolitan Board of
Works was held on Wednesda) at noon in the
Council chamber, for the purpose of considering the
main drainage of the metropolis. Mr. J. Thwaites
in the chair. _ _

The meeting was very fully attended.
The following report from the committee of the
whole board on the subject of the main drainage was
presented:—

No. 1, Greek•street, Soho, Aug. 11.
Your committee have, in obedience to the reference of
the board of the 3rd inst., considered the plans for the
main drainage of the metropolis presented by the board
to the First Commissioner of Her Majesty's Works, &c.
your committee have also conferred with Messrs. Hawks-
ley and Bazalgette, Mr. Bidder being absent from London,
on those and other plans, and your committee have come
to the conclusion that the principles of drainage recom-
mended in the report of Messrs. Bidder, Hawksley, and
Bazalgette are those most suited to the requirements of
the menapolie.
Your committee, therefore, recommend that the board
should without delay instruct the engineer to report as to
the order in which the several parts of the works recom-
mended in the report of Messrs. Bidder, Hawksley, and
Basalgette may be most advantageously and conveniently
carried out.

Your committee further recommend that the engineer
be instructed by the board to prepare specifications for
carrying out the several works set. forth in the repert of
Messrs. Bidder, Hawksley, and liazalgette, commencing
with those parts of the works which the engineer considers
to be most urgent.
And your committee farther recommend that the en-
gineer be instructed by the board to prepare plans anti to
report to the board as to w hat advantages may be derived
by having the outfall on the south side of the river Thames
In.
.Greenwich marshes, providing, in that case, for deodo•
ruing the sewage continuously throughout the year.
All which your committee have to submit.

WILLIAM CARPMAEL.
PHILIP CRELLIN.
Mr. CARPMAEL moved the adoption of the report,
and at some length stated what had been done for
some years for the removal of sewage from houses,
in doing which they had largely contaminated the
river Thames. That was the only expedient then
open to them ; but now, in consequence of the in-
creased powers conferred upon them by Act of Par-
liament, they were called upon to do away with that
nuisance by a system of intercepting sewers. That
remedy was to be obtained by the plan proposed by
Messrs. Bidder, Hawksley, and Bazalgette, which
was calculated to remove the sewage to points on
both the north and south sides of the Thames, so

METROPOLITAN MARKETS.-.--.FRIDAY.
CORN Excrtaxos.7-During the present week, as well as fresh

- -
up to-day, the arrivals of English wheat, coastwise and by 11111.1
carriage, have been on a very moderate scale. For good atd
fine samples we had a fair demand. The imports of foreign
wheats are 4.620 quarters. There was only a limited inquiry for
all kinds. Fine malting barley was in fair request. Grinding
and distilling sorts met • dull inquiry. There was only a
limited sale for malt. No change took place in the value of

ENTRY OF ME PRINCE AND PRINCESS

WILLIAM INTO BERLIN.
The entry of our Princess Royal into the city of
her future home took place on Monday with all the
splendour and formality befitting the Daughter of
England. It is computed that nearly 200,0(X) per-
sona were congregated alone in the chief street, the
Unter den Linden, where the procession would pass.
The reception of the royal couple was enthusiastic
in the extreme. The people at one portion of the
distance to be traversed outside of the town threw
flowers into the carriage as she passed before them,
for which she bowed her smiling acknowledgments ;
but, just as she was one time bowing, a tolerably
substantial nosegay flew in at the window and struck
her in the face. The well-meaning donor stoo
aghast at the contretemps, till the hearty good-
nature of the Princess manifested itself in uncon-
strained laughter at the concussion, in which Prince
Frederick William joined.

A grand state banquet was given on the occasion
at the palace of the Prince of Prussia. After the
banquet was over and the guests had retired, the
Royal family, together with their numerous relations
present, drove about the town in a cortege of twenty
carriages, to view the very extensive and brilliant
illuminations, and were everywhere received by the
people with the most hearty and vociferous exhibi-
tions of gratification.
On Tuesday morning there was a dejennerdina
Loire in the apartments of the Prince and Princes"
Frederick William, after which they received the
congratulations of sixty young ladies, unmarried
daughters of the various municipal officers of the
city, dressed in bridal array, and were presented
with a superb bridal gift from the city of Berlin.
This costly production of the silversmith's art coc-
sists of a silver vase about four feet high, on the
body of which is represented in relief the festal
entry of the Prince and Princess into Berlin. This
silver plate stands on a pedestal thirty-four inches
high, so that in the whole this centrepiece is full
seven feet in height, to which also the height of the
branch candelabra corresponds. The weight of the
whole four pieces amounts to about five cwt. ; the
entire cost has been 30,000 thalers, and the intrinsic
value of the silver contained in it about 14,000
thalers. Altogether the welcome given to the bridal
couple has been marked by unusual kindly feeling,
heartiness, and enthusiasm on the part of the people.

SPAIN.

The Spanish authorities have been put on the
traces of a new revolutionary plot.
At Madrid, incendiary proclamations, arms, and
ammunition, have been seized in a house in the
immediate proximity to the palace.

NAPLES.
The trial of the English engineers proceeds. One
man, Watt, is already out of his mind from his pro-
tracted imprisonment, and from the petty harass
and persecution he has been subjected to. The
whole affair of the trial, as related in letters from
Naples, betrays much painful detail.

LAST NIGHT'S DEBATE.

HOUSE OF LORDS.
DEFENCE OF ARRAN.

The Earl of DERBY wished to repair an omission
in the last vote of thanks by calling attention to the
eminent skill and gallantry displayed by Mr. Wake, a
civil servant of the Company, in conducting the
defence of a small and ill-fortified bilngalow at Arrah,
Earl GRANVILLE acknowledged the eminent services
performed by Mr. Wake on that occasion. The omission
of special mention of his achievementarose solely from
the very large number of persons, both civil and
military, who had displayed the most exalted heroism
during the late mutiny in India.

IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT.
Lord BROUGHAM, in moving for some returns,
commented upon the existing state of the law of
creditor and debtor, and enforced the expediency of
totally abolishing the penalty of imprisonment for
debt except in cases of proved fraud.
After some conversation the motion was agreed to,
and their lordships adjourned.

LONDON,' SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1858.

Tax art of politics is eminently a practical
art. Events will not stand still while states-
men deliberate. If we would not remain pas-
sive spectators of the world's progress, we
must snatch at opportunities of action as the
wheel of time presents them. We can only
take a rapid glance at the relation of succes-
sive events to each other, conjecture as best
we can the results of our conduct, and so
that we keep certain guiding principles in
view, leave the means adopted for their pro-
motion to the judgment of posterity.

The excellence of Constitutional Government
is a favourite topic with Englishmen—and de-
servedly ; for to it they undoubtedly owe
both their greatness and their happiness.
But if thinking men are asked to what that
excellence is mainly attributable, they will
commonly reply, to the practical character of
English politicians on the one hand, and the
sagacious fortitude of the English people on
the other. That is to say, we have never
allowed ourselves to be deterred from legisla-
tion because we could not in a moment make
it all we desired ; and have sometimes even
submitted to remedies which for a long time
seemed worse than the disease they were in-
ten Jed to cure, because we believed they were
founded on a right principle. Our ancestors
tolerated the corruption of NVALPOLE, ill spite
of the protests of able and honest men, rather
than endanger a Parliamentary dynasty. And
a hundred years later the Reform Bill was
passed, rather because it was absolutely ne•
cessary to do something, than because that
was the best thing to do.
Now, we would put it to those conscientious
gentlemen who on Tuesday last divided
against the Government, by which system
constitutional freedom is most likely to be
advanced—by a cordial understanding with,
or a haughty isolation from, the Emperor NA-
POLEON ? By the first, we may do much to
insure the general tranquillity of Europe and
a respite from regular wars, as well as to dimi-
nish the chance of internal revolutions By
the second, we should not only lend encou-
ragement to internal conspirators, but pos-
sibly pave the way for continental complica-
tions which would result in general hostilities.
We need not add that the great obstacle to
Constitutional Government is the necessity of
a large standing army, and that foreign war
and domestic convulsions are alike conducive
to the exaltation of the soldiery. A long
period of tranquillity both at home and abroad,
diverting military ardour into other channels,
and gradually extinguishing all hopes of a
violent subversion of Government, might not
improbably permit of ultimate changes on
which no Sovereign threatened by assassins
and protected by Praetorians could possibly
adventure.

The form of Government which at present
prevails in France cannot be commended in

'HE LAWRENCE MEMORIAL.

itial public meeting was held on Saturday
.11is's-rooms, St. James's, for the purpose
perpetuating the memory of the late Sir Henry
by raising a fund for the permanent en-
of the schools founded by him at the hill-
Kussowlie and Aboo, for the orphans and
iildren of the British soldier. The institu-
is called " The Lawrence Asylum," was
by the gallant officer in 1840, and towards
. for the last seven years he contributed
one thousand pounds. It is built for 400
300 girls, and is situated at Sanawur, on
slopes of the Himalayas, and at a short
from Kussowlie, which is the first hill.
the road from Umballah to Simlah. The
' The Lawrence Asylum " was given to it
, 1847, by the late Lord Hardwge, who, in
written iu the visitors' book, expressed his
of the institution and his wish thus to

torate the benevolence of its founder and
The object of the institution is to pro-
- asylum for the orphan and other children
of the soldier serving in India. Lord Panmure on
this occasion presided, and, after explaining the
objects of the meeting, paid a warm tribute to the
memory of' Sir Henry Lawrence, who " had earned
for himself before he died, in an especial manner,
the gratitude of every soldier in the armies of India,
whether of the Queen's troops or of the Company's
armies, for the manner in which he ead laid him-
self out to contribute to their comfort, to aid and
support them in al. their works of danger and diffi-
culty, and to provide for their little ones a refuge
and an asylum which should guard them from the
contamination of evil and the inroads of disease."

L.ird Shaftesbury, Lord Hardinge, and Sir F.
Currie each paid an eloquent tribute to the great
man, and warmly advocated the project of a perma-
nent endowment of the Lawrence Asylum as the
most fitting testimonial to his memory and distin-
guished services.

Lord STANLEY, too, addressed the meeting. He
said :

Of Sir H. Lawrence's Ipublic actions others can speak
better than I. He rose to eminence step by step, not by
favour of any man, certainly not by subserviency, either to

DIFFICULTIES OF REFORMERS.

As the time draws near when the Liberal
party must commit itself one way or the
other to some plan of " Reform," it throws out
in front its scattered pickets to aid its leaders
in reconnoitring the public mind. Earl GREY,
Mr. RICH, the Member for Richmond, and
several others have appeared before the public
in the character of political essayists and
pamphleteers; but Earl GREY is the only one
of them who has had success in attracting the
attention of readers. If the Noble Lord's
work were anonymous it would be difficult to
say on what side it was written, so remarkable
is its impartiality; but, taken as a whole, its
publication is damaging to " Reform." Earl
GREY is an extremely clever man ; he has
much political knowledge, and he has a shrewd,
independent mind. His intellect is acute in
details, and is frequently far-sighted in prin•
ciples The name he inherits, and his exten-
sive Whig connection, give additional weight
to his observations on public affairs, and many
portions of his recent work merit the perusal
of those who take a strong interest in the
subject of Reform. A critical estimate of
his Lordship's important volume will be found
elsewhere in our impression of to-day.
On many points of the Reform question,
especially with reference to the results of
experience, Lord GREY must be accepted as a
most trustworthy witness. Prior to the Par-
liamentary Revolution (for such it was) of
IS3I-2, there was a vague but strong feeling
abroad that the best men and the fittest
representatives would be chosen by popular
constituencies. On this important question
Earl GREY is satisfied to bow to experience.
When discussing the serious subject of the
difficulty, now experienced by the Crown in
finding scats for an Attorney or Solicitor
General, Lord GREY frankly admits that
" experience has shown that the qualifications
" requited for their situations are not those
" which most recommend men to the favour of
" electors ;" and his Loriship dwells on the
injurious effect upon the legal profession of
constantly selecting the law officers from the
barristers who by chance or improper influ
ence have forced their way into Parliament.
Lord GREY does not illustrate this considera•
