LONDON, rumour. JULY 6.

Tax political wadi be. bass labouring under a
great mistake foe the last six Of seven years. It
has been taken is granted on all sides that the
repeal of the Corn-laws by Sir Hone= Peet broke
op the Conservative party. Conservatives themselves:
have been of this opinion ; politicians of all parties
have made it the basis of their arguments. At last
a patriotic body of historical inquirers in the City of
London have come forward to disabuse their friends
and countrymen of this pestilent heresy in matter of
fact. The disruption of the Conservative party, ac-
cording to these civic NIEBUIIIia, had quite a diffe-
rent origin ; what that origin was is a matter of too
much importance to stick at the end of • paragraph;
we therefore reserve it for the beginning of a new
one.
"The bill foe the endowment of Maynooth was
passed in the year ISt & • • • As its first re-
sult, tit broke to pieces the great Conservative party,
and a-single year saw the dissolution of a ministry
which a short time previous seemed to enjoy the
prospect of a long duration." There cannot be a
doubt of it. The fact is attested under the bands of
Messrs. JOTIN LABOCCIIEBZ, ALESAIiDER GILLES-
PIE. and "many other electors". It is true that Sir
Ronan Pm., leader of the Conservative Free
Traders, and Lord GEORGE BENTINCK, leader of the
Conservative Protectionists, went down to their
graves, poor men, with the notion that they had
split about the Corn-laws, but MCSIZI. LABOUCITERE
and GILLEMIE know better: it was Maynooth did
it all.
The first reflection suggested by this new read-
ing in modern English history propounded
by the Ltuoteneet.Gittesels school, is—" What
great events from little causes spring." The tough
ein:Aitution of the Conservative party survived for
many long years the political debauchery of voting
thousands upon thousands of pounds to Roman
Catholic priests and prelates in the colonies. "In
our hot youth. when George the Third was King,"
we cau remember the great Tory leaders of the day,
with all their followers, subscribing from their pn-
Tate funds, and promoting grants from the Exchequer
to console the Burnish priests who sought refuge in
this country from the revolutionary storms of the
continent; to find these reverend refugees (as
Pk ILI" PLTMLEY wrote to brother ABRAHAM
at the time) not only in food, coals, and can-
dles, but in pixy, , beads, and breviaries. Part
of that blessed national debt, which the pre-
sent generation of Conservatives has the privilege
of paying, was incurred by their Tory fathers to re-
place the Pore on his throne along with other legi-
timacies. All this wasteful outlay for the promotion
of Popery, persevered in from 1760, when Canada
was conquered, down to the present day, could not
" break' to pieces the great Conservative party;" but
the little grant of 20,0001. or 30,0001. a year to
Maynooth did the deed. Far be it from us to ques-
tion the veracity or information of the LUX/MAMIE-
GILLESPIE historians ; but we must say that the
effect of the Maynooth grant, coupled with the
non-effect of so wary other immeasurably greater pro-
popish grants, does very much remind us of a story
of a sturdy Scotch toper. The hero of the tale, u sea-
soned a cask asever walked the hoards of the Edinburgh
Parliament house, on his way to London, to watch
the progress of an appeal in the House of Lords
from some judgment of the Court of Session, slept a
night at York ; for as yet railways were not. He
there, in company with a professional brother, die-
cussed some three or four bottles of claret, on a sub-
stratum of port and sherry, finishing off with
sundry tumblers of strong whiskey toddy. Next
morning, when he appeared at breakfast, he in-
funned his friend that be had not been able to sleep
—" that cold mutton we had for supper threw him
into a perfect fever." The Maynooth grant has
been the cold mutton of the great Conservative
PST"
Another remarkable consequence of this Mayseedi
grant ts the different ways in which participation I.
its transfer from the miscellanous estimates to the
Consolidated Fund, has abated the claims of differeat
individuals to the sosidesee d Oonowvatives. Were

FRANCE.

PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.
To-day I have to rend you a notable instance of
tho present mode of dealing with the press under the
dictatorial decree of the 17th February. The 32nd
article of that decree allows the government to pro-
' ceed to the suspension or suppression of a journal
which has been convicted of a press-offence during
the two months that succeed that conviction. Now
on the 18th of last May the Corsairs was convicted
before the tribunal of the Seine for exciting to con-
tempt of the government. M. de Maupss has thought
proper to take advantage of this misfortune of the
legitimist paper to pronounce, after a lapse of six
weeks, the suspension of the Corsairs for two months.
A decree to this effect appears in the ifuniteur. The
Moats is requested to state that the Corsairs will
resume its publication at the expiration of the two
months. The particular offence of the Corsaire
which has drawn down this chastisement is not spe-
cified.

The sentence of the court-martial of Monpellier, by
which seventeen insurgents of December are con-
demned to the guillotined, has produced a sensation
of profound horror. Judgment having gone by de-
fault against six of the accused, the number of heads
doomed to fall in the public place of Bedarieux, the
Irene of their crimes,is eleven. The offence for which
these men have been condemned to death is the mur-
der of three gendarmes. Thus military justice makes
a shambles of a French town to punish a crime
which was the immediate consequence of the coup
cletat of December, and the lives of eleven
men arc to be taken in cold blood for
acts of violence, which, however atrocious, were
committed in the strife of civil war. As no page in
the history of the bloody events of last December,
gives a more striking picture of the character of the
insurrection in thesouthern departments, I shall nar-
rate hero briefly the events of Bedarieux, upon
which the sentence of court-martial, given in my
letter of yesterday, is founded. On the night of
December :I the emissaryof a secret society at Berle»,
in the Ilerault, brought to Bederieux the signal for
insurrection. In the canton of Bedarieux alone there
were as many. as three thousand affiliated members,
which comprises the whole population of artisans
and labourers. They were organised, armed, and in
communication with the secret societies of Paris
and Lyons, as well as those of their own de-
partments. On the 4th the ateliers had emptied
their swarms into the streets and cafes of
the town. Men mounted on tables, with inflamed
features and violent gesture stirred up the people to
march on the town-hall and the quarters of gen-
darmes. The mayor having appealed in vein to the
better class of citizens in support of order, finding
towards c'ose of day his residence besieged by the
insurrection, dismissed the brigade, consisting of only
five gendarmes, charging them with despatches for
succour to neighbouring towns, and then retired
himself. Favoured by the dark, and charging the
crowd with fixed bayonet, the gendarmes succeeded
in making their way good to their barrack; but
before they could get out their horses to start with
the despatches, they were blockaded by an infuriated
mob. fhe quarter-muter Leotard, and the gen-
darme Brugiii4ree, made a desperate attempt
to sally out, and discharging their carbines,
killed an insurgent. This was the signal for a
regular siege. The insurgents took possession
of the neighbouring houses, and poured from the
windows en incessant fire into the barracks. Their
first victim w..s the wife of the gendarme Flacon,
who fell shot through the head, as she was standing
at the window. The besieged continued to hold out
with desperate bravery, until fire was set to the
`ate of the court-yard. Faggots were brought from
the bakers, piled against the door, and fixed amidst
the yells of men and women. Driven from their
quartersby the flames and awoke, three of the gen-
darmes scaled, by means of a rope ladder, a par-
tition wall, and took refuge in the house of one
Mical, a small tradesman. The remaining two, the
same who had sallied forth in the beginning and
killed an insurgent, being badly wounded, con-
aided themselves as they could. Meanwhile, the
&Mil" door having been rent away, the insurgents
burst in. The unfortunate Brugnieres was found
under a mattress on a heap of litter in the
yard, and shot by 'several, who discharged
their • gnu erase to him. The horses were

PRUSSIA.
Another Zollverein congress was held at Beilin,
on the Ist inst. The Berlin cabinet, represented by
M. Prate/tell, called upon the delegates to declare,
with as little delay as possible, whether they
would accept the llanover treaty or not, but
did not tlx any latest date for its acceptance
or rejection. The Prussian newspapers agree
in ascribing great disunion to the coalesced
of Darmstadt, and represent them as seeking
a bridge by which to pass over to M. Manteuffel.
On the other hand, Bavaria, Wurtemberg, and Baden
are treating with Austria for a common representa-
tion of their commercial interests abroad ; facts which
presuppose a severance of the three first states from
the Zollverein.

. THE ELECTIONS.

NOMINATIONS.-THIS DAY.

CITY OF LONDON.
The nomination for candidates to represent the
ancient City of Leaden took place this day in Guildhall.
♦t 10 o'clock precisely, the doors of the great hall were
erased, and from the attention of Mr. Secondary Potter,
every ageoessnedation was provided for the representatives
of the press.
Mr. Sheriff COTTERELL, in commencing the proceed-
ings, said it was his duty to tell them that every speaker
who should present himself, was entitled to a fair hearing.
Mr. THOMPSON RANKNT, the governor of the Bank of
England, came forward and proposed Lord Juhn Russell
es a fit and proper candidate for the city of London. (Greet
cheering.)` It was not necessary for him to expatiate on the
statesmanlike qua:ities of that noble lord, for he was suffi-
ciently well known to the public by his politics and past
conduct, and he hoped the citizens would, by their choice
of representatives, show their attachment to free trade
principles.
Mr. DILLore briefly seconded the nomination.
Mr. HEsky Jaws. Pasecorr proposed Baron Lionel de
Rothschild.
Mr. Alderman Winn, in seconding the nomination, mid
that, having elected the Baron in 1847, and reelected him
in 1849, he was sure they would be true to their principles
by electing him again in 18.52. (Cheers.)
Mr. Resent. Ewen proposed Mr. Mssterman—(cheers)
—and Mr. JOHN B. Baron seconded the nomination.
Mr. MAKTINSAIV proposed, and Mr. Alderman Lew-
111MCIlseconded, Sir James Duke, amidst great confusion.
Mr. Deputy J. HALL proposed Mr. Crawford, and was
seconded by Mr. Ranier BATEMAN, who obtained a hear-
ing with great difficulty.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL then came forward, and was re-
ceived with the most enthusiistic cheering. His lordship
said that he appeared before them again to solicit a conti-
nuance of their confidence u a friend of religious liberty.
He had proposed and was succesdnl in the repeal of the
Test and Corporation Acts, and was an sdvocate for free
trade. In 1831 he hail proposed an I carried the largest
measure of reform which had been proposed or carried in
modern times. He had done his best to remove all diatibili-
ties on account of religion, and if he had nut succeeded; it
was the fault of the people of England. Ile acknowledged
that the Reform Act was in many respects deficient, and
that it was therefore necessary that they should proceed to
give it additional force, and that was the object of the bill
which he bad brought in during the last session. In the
came of his political life he had nu doubt viminitted many
errors, but they should recollect that good u well as bad
bad been committed.
A GENTLEMAN inquired whether his lordship was in
favour of the ballot ?
Lord JOHN Resume said he was against secret voting.
If be were sent to parliament he would exercise his own
judgment rather than act like an automaton, who would
move according to the wires by which ho would be moved
behind the scenes. (Cheers.)
Baron Itoensextue said a victory in the City would be
viewed with a jealous eye by the present government. Much
bad been said about him with respect to .kustrie, but in
that country there were two important functionaries who
were Jewe. (Cheers.) He appealed to them as English.
men to return him to parliament, and thus support the
principle of civil and religious liberty. (Cheers.)
Mr. MASPARMAN, who was received with immense ap-
plause, 'messed his determination to maintain the rights
and privileges of the electors• of London, and hoped they
would suggest him at the poll to-morrow.
&r Jan* DUKE said that, during the three years he
W been *lir representative, he had advocated and sup-
ported Moral principles. He left the ease in their hands,
sad was sure they would not disappoint
Mr. Catwpoan next came forward. He said he was not
• candidate, but he was bound to say that he fully appre•
Mated the feeling which had been exhibited towards him
in the city. He would not take up their time by any ad-
vocacy of his own claims, for they were not put forward by
his own sanction. (Cheers.)
A show of hands was then taken, which the sheriffs
declared to be in favour of Lord John Russell, Baron
Rothschild, Mr. M.sterman, and Mr. Crawford, and they
were accordingly declared duly elected. A poll was de-
manded by Sir James Duke.

fir TbOraaX Fremantle, the chairmen of the Board of
Customs, had an interview with the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, yesterday, at his official residence in Downing-
street. Sir John Plenehel, Muter of the Mint, had also an
interview with the right hon. gentleman.
Mr. Warren had en interview yesterday with Mr. Seere-
tary WalPole-
Despatches were received at the Csisalsk•sdice, yeast,
day, from the Uovernors of New Hnaisaidi sad Nova
tiestis,

LAMBETH.
The various committees of the respective candi-
dates made their appearance on the hustings on Kenning-
ton Common precisely at 10.
Mr. H. ONSLOW, the returning officer, read the writ,
when the three candidates were duly introduced.
Mr. W. Cony proposed Mr. D'Eyacourt, and Mr. KNorr
seconded the proposition,
Mr. Duel:rote proposed, and Mr. LYON seconded Mr.
Williams.
Mr. BOYINGTON proposed, and Mr. Bzwr.u. seconded,
Mr. Wilkinson.
The proposers and seconders were, as usual at:electioneer-
ing contests, greeted with cheers and hisses. "No coali-
tion," and " Let D'Eyncourt and Wilkinson stand alone,"
were uttered by the friends of Mr. Wilkinson, whilst the
parties were advocating the claims of the other too candi•
dates.

Mr. Es-noway, on maleng his appearance in front of
the hustings, was received with cries of " Retire," " Go
hack," &e. The confusion at length became so great that
Mr D'Eyncourt was obliged to give way, when—
Mr. SEWELL resumed his address in favour of Mr. Wil-
kinson.
Mr. D'ETNCOUII2 again made his appearance in front of
the hustings, but wu received in a similar manner as be-
fore. The hon. gentleman, however, continued to address
the meeting, but scarcely a word could be heard. So far
as could be understood, he denied the charges brought
against him. (Cars of " How much did you give to the
cholera sufferer 1" rent the air.)
Mr. Witninson interposed, and claimed the indulgence
of the meeting for Mr. D'Evocourt.
Mr. D'Ermeottur continued for nearly an hour to address
the electors, hut very tew words could be heard, unless
" How about Mn. Okay's ball and the poor widow,?" At
length,
Mr. WILLIAMS made his appearance, and was hailed
with "No coalition." As soon as silence was somewhat
restored, the hon. gentleman proceeded to say, that two
years ago ho made his appearance on that platform, as a
candidate to represent them in parliament. Ile had
now served them two years, and, with the exception of
Mr. Hume, no one had done more than be had to
protect their pockets. Ho neat laid before tho electors
the line of conduct he had pursued in the house, and
added that, if they did not think his past conduct
deserved their support, he would at once retire. (Cries of
" Why don't D'Eyncourt to do so ?" and shoe,.) Mr. Wil-
liams concluded by saying he would leave his cause in their
hands, when loud cries ot " Williams and Wilkinson" were
raised.
Mr. Witinuore, on appearing, was lordly cheered. He
addressed the electors in similar terms as he advanced the
previous evening, and promised, if returned, to do all he
could to benefit the borough, and he hoped he should never
do anything that would Cause them to regret their choice.
ONSLOW then called for a show of hantle and de-
clared the majority to be in favour of Messrs. Williams and
Wilkinson.
A poll was then demanded on behalf of Mr. D'Eyncourt,
which is to take place t 0.10017011.
Mr. WILLIAMS and Mr. Wttatteson next thanked the
electors, but craved their support at the poll,
Mr. D'ETNCOURT afterwards made an attempt to ad-
dress them, bat was received with shouts of disapprobation.
He *included by saying he was sure be should be at the
heed of the poll to-morrow.
A vete of thanks was then panted to the returning officer
and the proceedings terminated.
GREENWICH.
