chunk's, to dieendow Maynooth would be a revival of the
old and hateful policy of treating Roman catholies as a I-
, favoured class of citizens; and would be a departure fru:
the wise and tolerant policy which kad prevailed since the
time of catholic emancipation. (Cheers.) Mr. Spooner's
motion was a part of that base, sneaLiug, and miserable
policy which upright and straightforward Englishmen
would see through and despise. Ile meant the policy of
Lord Derby. And this brought him to the last political
question upon which he should address them, namely, Lore
Derby himself. (Laughter.) Lord Derby was now a NH-
tical question. (Cheers and laughter.) That name was
inscribed upon the banners of certain candidates as the
symbol of their political faith, as fres trade or retiree
were fotmerly inscribed upon their banners. (Hear, bear.)
I What did it mean? It did not moan the famous Lord
Stanley of the Howse of Commons. Ile was an
eloquent orator the Rupert of debate, ready to
carry the reform bill at the expense of a revolution. (Rear,
Lear.) Rot, zealous, chivalrous, without a particle of
statesmanship, fur six years he misgoverned the colonies.
There was scarcely a colonial grievance of any importance
which might not be traced to his mismanagement. Re
produced a rebellion in Canada (may he out produce another
—be sowed the seeds of our costly wars in South Africa—
he caused the hideous demoralisetiun of Van J./screen's
Land, for be was wrong-healed, obstinate, ignorant, rash,
reckless, and careless of consequences, but, uu the whole,
frank, straightforward, and manly. (Much cheering.) '1"h;
Lord Stanley was not the Lord Derby who appeared on the
hustings of the present day. Who was he ? A free trader
in the towns, a protectionist in the counties—(loud
cheers)—pro-fdaynooth in Ireland, auti•Maynooth is
England and Scotland—(renewed cheers)—saying one
thing one day, retracting it the next, repeating it
the third, equivocating about it the fourth—a po-
litical jockey—(roars of laughter) —riding a losing
horse, hoping to win by a crow—(great laughter)—a
thimble-rigger, gammoning clowns and chawbacons with
the pea of protection, which would never be found under
any one of his thieubles—(laughter)—a truckler to the
bigotry which he intended to betray—the leader of men
who had no convictions; whose only rule of political mo-
rality was success; the end and aim of whose existence was
the gratification of personael ambition—men long eager tor
power, surprised at obtaining it, unscrupulous as to the
means of retaining it; recreant prutectienists, dishonest
freetraders—hiding insincerity under the mask of intole-
rance ; too pusillanimous to stick by their colours—not
courageous enough to take up a new position. (Great
cheering.) In speaking thus of the Derbyites, he did not
mean to speak of all who sat upon the ministerial aide of
the house, or even of all the members of Lurd Derby's
government; for many of them were upright honourable
English country gentlemen, who long believed in protection,
now perceived that it could not be restored, and wished
honestly to abandon it. lie spoke only of the more active
chiefs of the party, and of more whom Lord Derby would
term statesmen. Fur Lord Derby, in one of his speeches,
likened a statesman to a bark, which trimmed its sails and
altered its course with each changing wind and varying
breeze. This was not his (Sir W. hioleeworth's) notion
of a statesman: he likened the true statesman mad upright
politician to a steam vessel, which pursued its steady course
amidst storms and waves, in dellaucc of adverse melee and
app sing tides, and straightfurwanl reached its destined
port. (Loud cheers.) Sir William Molesworth concluded
by thanking the meeting for the attention which he lied
received, and offering to answer any questions which luiht
be put to bins. Ile sat down amidst loud cheers.
Among other questions the hon. baronet was asked wl.e.
tber he would vote against the third reading of the Mi.
litia Bill, and whether, if the bill passed, he would "ate
for its repeal ?
To both these questions he replied in the affirmative.
Mr. Witsow thin moved a resolution pledging the
meeting to support the return of Sir William Moksworth
at the approaching dissolution of parliament.
The resolution, after being seconded by Mr. L. ElllttE.
TON, was put to the meeting, and carried by a considerable
majority.
On the motion of Mr. kfAiltitS, seconded by Mr. Mai, a
resolution was passed fur the formation of a committee, and
the adoption of all necessary steps en the candidate's
behalf.
A vote of thanks was given to the chairman, on the
motion of Br. Evaxs, and the meeting then difilk-rat d.

BRISTOL.—Nir. IL Berkeley, the liberal member
for Bristol, paid a visit to his constituents yesterday, and
his intention having become known in that city, some of
the working men put out a bill, calling upon their co-elee-
tors to give him • hearty reception. This invitation was
heartily responded to by the people. The station at the
railway was crowded by the leading members of the free-
trade party, and the streets immediately adjacent to the
terminus, and, indeed, throughout the centre of the city,
were rendered almost impassable by the multitude which
crowded them. From the windows of many of the Louses
in the route, gaga and banners, bearing suitable mottoes,
were suspended, and two bands of music, presided by some
of the operative voters, preceded the cavalcade through the
city, playing See the conquering Hero." The people
took the horses from his carriage and drew him through the
streets.

MOSION.—Three candidates arc now busily en-
g►ged soliciting the suffrages of the electors. Mr. Benj.
Bond Cabbell, en conservative principles, as a supporter of
the present government ; Mr. J. A. liankcy, the West
India merchant, on liberal and free-trade principle* ; and
Mr. O. 11. Heatheote, as a protectiombt. Mr. Mulkey has
proceeded three days on his canvass, and met with great
succees.
MANI

-. Bright, in his late address to
the electors of Manchester, said: " The next time Mr.
Loeh goes to confession he will feel it upon hi. conscience
to explain who paid the 5,0001. or 6,0001. that were ex-
pended at Falkirk." Mr. Loch has since addressed the
"independent electors," and complains that Mr. Bright
has charged him with expending 5,000/. or 6,0001. Mr.
Loch says he did not pay more than 2,6001. to 2,6001., and
this upon legitimate expenses. Now, Mr. Loch polled
exactly 644 votes, so that his legitimate expenses cost nearly
61. a head. To win Manchester he will require something
like 6,000 vote', which, at a similar rate, would cost 30,000/.,
rather a heavy pries for tte honour of representing the
people of Manchester.
ItvE.—On the present member for nye having
signified his intention to retire from next parliament, tho
only candidate was Mr. Pomfret, the banker: a new candi-
date, on free trade principles and for liberal measure., has
now entered the field, Mr. Alexander Mackinnon, the
eldest son of the member for Lymington, who has expres-
sed his determination of affording every liberal on upper-
lesd_q of recording his vote.
WEST SURREY.—On Monday afternoon a num-
saaa sad very influential meeting of the electors of West
Barret' was hell at the Crown Ina, Chcrtsey, to hear from
asked B. Challoner, of Portnall park, the liberal and
fret trade candidate, a detailed explanation of his political
opinions. The chair was taken by Captain the lion. C. C.
Cavendish, RN., and Col. Challonor having explained his
political views, Mr. R. W. Edgell (who contested the
county in 1849) congratulated the meeting upon having
obtained a candidate so peculiarly qualified to carry out
their views. and proposed that they should at once take
steps to presets the return of Colonel Challoner. An in-
fluential esonaittse was then appointed, and the proceed-
ings terndasind.

PICTURES FOR THE NATIONAL OALLERT.—A pur-
chase has been made on the part of the trustees of the
National Gallery of London, at the sale of the late M►rshal
Soup's collection, of a picture by Titian, and also of a pic-
ture at another sale in Paris, for the purpose of being depo-
sited in that national establishment. The picture+ have
been shipped to London ria Calais, and removed with
every care to the National Gallery.
INDISPOSITION OF NIA. WAELET, M.P.—We re-
beatrhetlituosen theo. rjoturn.a.
or .nw Saturdayhy to hmisocrihairang-
bets from
liat, between three and four o'clock, he was *ed with •
sudden faintness, which caused much alarm to his rela-
tives. It is satisfactory to state, however, that the hon.
gentleman was so far recovered by the afternoon as to lie
able to leave town for his residence at Hatfield.

ILLNESS OF Ma. ROEBUCK.—We regret to learn
that since Mr. Roebuck's departure for London on Satur-
day last he has been severely indisposed and unable to
attend to his duties in parliament, and wo fear that some
little time must elapse before it will be prudent fur him to
resume them.—Sheffield Times.
STEAM TO AtlSlSALlA.—Yenterday morning the
Australian steam ship, belonging to the Australian 103%1
Mail Steam Packet Company, tett the moorinus off the en.
trance to the East India Docks, on her " minden" voyage
for Australia. She is a flue-looking vessel, 1,400 tons bur-
then, worked by the screw. She carries out a very valu-
able cargo, and upwards of 200,0001. in specie, braider no
lea than 180 pawners, of whom 48 are first-claw pas-
wingers.

Two SHIPS LOST of TILE ICE. Letters were
brought by the Europa steamer, communicating the loss of
two vomela in the ice. The intelligence was :made known
by the master of the Lady Bannerman, of Prince Edward
Wank which has been locked in the ice all the winter,
Mariam and Chaticanth. While off the latter place, he
observed a largo ship in the ice, about 20 miles from land,
and with part of his crew and some persons from the shore
started from the wreck. After a tedious and dangerous
passage over the drifting ice, they succeeded in reaching
the spot, and discovered the Tema to be the Aberdeen of
Liverpool, about 800 tons burthen, bound to Quebec. There
were no persons on board, and all the boats belonging to her
were gene, leaving the party to suppose that the crew had
taken to them and were safe. About five miles from where
the Aberdeen lay, they observed another vessel ; she was a
schooner, embedded in the lee.

Wilkinson, of Wellington street, and produced, in the tots!,
