lewski's despatch, then, and not till then, be would be
prepared further to consider the subject of amending
the Conspiracy Law. Passing to the question of
Indian legislation, Mr. Inglis expressed his entire
confidence in Lord Ellenborougb and his conviction
that the bill the Government would propose would
give satisfaction to the country. With respect to
Reform, or ratber a full consideration of the laws
regulating the representation of the people, he
thought the Government was asking no great
amount of indulgence from the country if, upon a
subject which required such earnest attention and
deliberate consideration, they asked till the session
of 1850 to bring forward the measure :

That they will address their minds to the question
honestly and earnestly I do not doubt, and I believe the
result will be that iu 1839 this question will be discussed
in a fair, dispassionate, and unprejudiced spirit, not only
by the Government, but by Parliament and the country.
(Hear.) I can only say in conclusion on this point that
t is quite in vain to expect any satisfactory measure re-
garding the representation of the people, unless the Go-
vernment which sits down to prepare it does so in a spirit
of perfect honesty and fairness. (Hear, hear.) If any
Minister will approach this subject with a view to the
promotion of party or personal interest, or to carry through
any preconceived theory or project of his own, be will
undauhtedly fail ; but if he come to the consideration of it
with an unbiassed mind, having • single eye to the advan-
tage of the country and the securing of those great ends
of representation to which I have referred, be will by God's
blessing prevail. (Hear, hear.)

BUCUSGHAMSHIRE.—The nomination of a member
for this county, consequent upon the acceptance of
office by Mr. Disraeli, has been fixed to take place
on Monday next at the County-hall, Aylesbury. Mr.
Disraeli has issued the following address to the
electors of the county of Buckingham :

Gentlemen,—The Queen having confided to the Earl
of Derby the duty of forming an Administration, her
Majesty has been graciously pleased to confer upon me
the office of Chancellor of the Exchequer.
I resign, therefore, into your hands the trust which,
for ten years, you have extended to me, as your member
in the House of Commons; but as you have thought
fit on several occasions to renew that mark of approba-
tion, I beg leave to announce that on the day of election
I shall solicit the honour of being, for the fifth time, your
representative in Parliament.
The circumstances of the country are, in many respects,
critical ; and in none more so than in its external relations.
Painful misconceptions have arisen with the Government
of Ciat faithful and powerful ally who, in so many in-
stances, has proved his good feeling and fidelity to this
country. Believing that a cordial alliance between Eng-
land and France is equally conducive to the interests of
both countries, I shall express my hope and conviction
that by measures, at once firm and conciliatory, these
causes of misunderstanding may be speedily and entirely

If the country will heartily support the Queen's Go.
vernuient, at this conjuncture, a result so desirable for
the peace and progress of Europe will be greatly facili-
tated.—Believe me. yours sincerely,
. Grosvenor-gate, Feb. 2d, 1858. B. DISRAELI.

was re-

BELFAST.—Mr. Cairns,
elected yesterday for Belfast without opposition.
BRIDGENORTH.—Mr. Whitmore, Lore of the
Treasury, was re•elected on Wedne%day without op-
position. Mr. Whitmore, who was received with
much enthusiasm, addressed the electors in an able
speech, justifying Lord Derby's acceptance of power,
and asking for him a fair and impartial trial.
CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY.—The Right Hon. S. H.
Walpole was again returned on Thursday as the
representative of the University in Parliament. As
there was no opposition there was a very thin attend-
ance of electors, not more than a dozen besides the
officials being present.

COLCHESTEIL—Lord Henry Lennox, M.P., Junior
Lord of the Treasury, will be returned this day
without opposition.
COCKERMOVTEL—Lord Naas was on Thursday re-
turned for Cockermouth without opposition.

EAST SUFFOLIL-Sir F. Kelly, the new Attorney-
General, has issued his address soliciting re-election
to the electors of this constituency. The learned
gentleman observes in the course of his address :
" It would obviously be premature to enter at this
early period into the views and intentions of a Go-
vernment which has yet scarcely come into exist-
ence ; but I may venture to assure you that if we
are fortunate enough to enjoy tha confidence and
receive the support of the constituencies of the
empire we shall bring to a satisfactory conclusion
the great question affecting the fate of our dominions
in the East, and that we shall advance the cause of
law reform and of the civil administration of the
affairs of the State so as to satisfy the just expecta-
tions of the country. My sentiments upon parlia-
mentary reform are well known to you all."
Flrmsonox.—General Peel, Secretary of State
for War, was duly re-elected for Huntingdon on
Thursday. The gallant general, in his address to
his constituents, expressed himself in favour of
Indian reform, and of a wise and judicious measure
of parliamentary reform, and, with respect to the
law of asylum, declared that foreigners who seek

refuge among us ought to be perfectly free to come
or to go as they think proper, so long as they are
contented to yield obedience to our laws :

know of no difference between Englishmen and
foreigners in that respect, and, depend upon it, should
there be any necessity for an alteration in our law of
conspiracy, it will be made without reference to any
such distinction.

NORTH NORTHIJHBERLAND.—Lord Lovaine, upon
his appointment as a Lord of the Admiralty, has
issued the following address to his constituents in
North Northumberland .
