Mn. JOHN BRIGHT has issued a farewell address to
his late Manchester constituents. The address is
dated Florence, March 31, and after stating that the
result has " not greatly " surprised him, and that he
does not "seriously regret it," and justifying his votes
upon the Russian war, concludes :
I have esteemed it a high honour to be one of your repre-
sentatives, and have given mare of mental and physical
labour to your service thea was just to myself ; I feel it
searedy less an honour to suffer in the cause of peace, and
on behalf of what I believe to be the true interests of my
country,—thringh I could have wished that the blow had
come from other hands, at a time when I could have been
present to meet face to face those who dealt it. In taking
my leave of you, and of public life, let me assure on that
I can never forget the nisly—the innnmerahle—kindnesses
I have received from my friends amongst you. No one will
rejoice more than I shall in all that brings you prosperity
and honour ; and I am not without a hope that, when a
calmer hour shall come, von will say of Mr. Gibson and of
me, that, as colleagues in your representation for ten years,
we have not sacrificed our principles to gain popularity, or
bartered our independence for the emoluments of Alec, or
the favours of the great. I feel that we have stood for the
rights, and interests, and freedom of the people, and that
we have not tarnished the honour or lessened the renown
of your eminent city.
