MIDDLESEX ELECTION.

LORD CHELSEA addressed the electors at Hammer-
smith yesterday. At the conclusion of the meeting,
Mr. Daly, the landlord of the Black Bull at Ham-
mersmith, asked the following question :

A proposition having been brought forward in the House
of Commons to throw open the licensed victuallers'
trade to the whole world, will Lord Chelsea pledge himself
to support the licensed system against an open trade?

Lord Chelsea replied that he most unhesitatingly
did so.

At a subsequent period of the evening a deputa-
tion of licensed victuallers attended at Lord Chelsea's
committee room, and had an interview with his lord-
ship, which resulted in a most satisfactory explana-
tion of his lordship's views with respect to the
licensed victuallers' trade, and a di termination was
expressed on the part of that important body to give
his lordship their unqualified support.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE election returns published this morning
show that the Liberals have, as was expected,
gained a few more county seats. In Berkshire
Captain VERNON made so gallant a stand that
it is evident he would have won had he been
earlier in the field. The Conservatives win
one seat in North Hants by a triumphant
majority, and lose one in the following coun-
ties :—Berks, Cambridge, Dorset, S. North-
ampton, S. Durham, and Glamorganshire.
The balance against the Conservatives is
therefore four. In another part of THE PRESS
the previous loss in the counties is stated to
be nine • the total loss in the counties to this
date is therefore thirteen.

The morning papers are chiefly occupied
with speculations on the policy to be pursued
by Lord PALMERSTON The Times recommends
him to cut out plenty of work for the new
Parliament, but says not a word of electoral
reform. The Dorms►g Post indicates that the
public may expect from Lord PALMERSTON
measure to correct the " bungling Act of
1832 " some time before the present Parlia-
ment expires. Another Cabinet Council was
held yesterday. It is generally reported that
the question of Reform is under discussion.
It seems most probable that the Premier will
succeed in throwing over the question for this
session at least. He may plead the necessary
shortness of the sitting, the pressure cf busi-
ness, and the time required for maturing
any satisfactory measure. It is besides
evident that if any extensive measure were
carried, another dissolution would be re-
quired immediately afterwards, and we may
suppose the new Parliament would not con-
template its speedy dismissal with pleasurable
feelings. In spite of all the hustings' pro-
fessions and pledges, the question will most
likely be shelved. Finance admits of no such
delay. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
will have to prepare a new budget, and his
scheme will probably be the first and most
important business of the season. The Daily
News dwells on the question of the Speaker-
ship. That question is not yet ripe for
discusbion.

AUSTRIA AND SARDINIA.
Count Cavour has addressed a note to the Sar-
dinian Chargé d'Affaires at Vienna, dated Turin,
March 24, announcing to him his recall from his
post. Cuuut Cavour thus refers to Count Buol's
note:—

explanations with which I should be iu the course of sun-
plying him. 1 regret nut Laving been able to satisfy

POSTSCRIPT.

THE NEUFCHATEL CONFERENCES.

The Con'erence (lid not meet again on Thursday,
as anticipated. The demands of Prussia under
discussion are a full and complete amnesty for those
who took part in the insurrection of September;
conservation of the title of the Prince of Neufchatel ;
payment to the King by the Helvetic Confederation
of 2,000,000 as a lompensation for the revenues of
Neufchatel ; restitution of the property of the Church
incoi porated in the year 1848 with the property of
the State; payment by the Hevetic Confederation
of the expenses occasioned by the events of Sep-
tember, and by the occupation ; contribution by the
population to the expenses at the charge of the
State ; amnesty for all political offences anterior to
the events of September; guarantee by the State for
the capital and interests of pious establishments,
hospitals, yte., particularly of the sum bequeathed
by the Byron de Grury ; and suspension of all dis•
cussion relative to the constitution of Neufchatel
until after the expiration of a term of six months.

The Emperor of Russia has definitively renounced
his intended excursion. Prince Gortschakoff, the
Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, and General
Suellosanol, Minister of War, are expected here
shortly.

SPAIN AND MEXICO.

Advices from the Gulf of Mexico, on the 25th
February, via Cadiz, state that the Spanish frigate,
Ferrolana, had had rather a sharp cannonade with
on of the forts of Vera Cruz, which had fired for
the third time on her boats as they were going for
water. The situation of affairs in Mexico still con-
tinued silious. Fresh demonstrations against
Spanish subjects had taken place in the east, and
the authorities of the country, notwith-tanding the
formal orders given by the central Government, had
hal not been able to put a stop to the outrages.

General Todtleben, the great engineer and skilful
&fender of Sebastopol, has arrived in Paris. This
gallant officer is on a tour of military inspection, and
it. is believed he will visit the arsenals of England
before returning to St. Petersburg.

AN OFFICER OF THE 44TH REGIMENT now at Wel-
mer, Lieutenant. E. Carroll, aged 20, is believed to
have been most brutally murdered by a publican at
Deal. The young officer about one o'clock on Sun-
day morning tried to force his way into the public
house kept by this man, Baker. Mrs. Baker resisted
him. Lieut. Carroll, after a short struggle to force
open the door, walked away towards Sandwich.
Baker, the publican, on hearing the cause of the
dispute, seized a short pcker, ran after Lieut. Carroll,
and it is supposed beat him cruelly over the head,
for the young dicer was found at Are a.m. lying on

SATURDAY,

the beach insensible and bleeding, his skull frac-
tured, and a deep gash on his head. Ile never
rallied, and in a few hours died. Baker has been
arrested and examined, and fully committed for
trial.

THEIR HIGHNESSES THE PRINCES OF OUDE are at
present on a visit to Birmingham. The Mayor and
Corporation have paid every respect to their Royal
Highnesses, and indeed the reception the Princes
have met with has been most cordial from all classes.
On Tuesday the Major entertained their Highnesses
at a grand dinner, and invited the resident gentry to
meet them on the occasion. Major Bit d returned
thanks for the toast of the evening. He observed,
with regard to India :
The productive csapabilities of India were scarcely appre-
ciated, or even known. There was a general knowledge
regarding the existence of a little indigo, cotton, sugar, and
so on; but none knew the extent to which all these could
be grown. For the production of cotton, to any amount
and in the utmost perfection. knowledge was alone
wanted; and now they had commenced railways, which
would bring it to market at a cheaper rate than was
hitherto possible. Tea, coffee, and sugar growing, might
also he made a flourishing branch of commerce. Enter-
prise was alone wanted to develop their cultivation to
any extent. If Englishmen imagined that India had yet
arrived at the hundredth part of the condition of civilisa-
than which it was capable of achieving, they were labouting
under a great mistake. If the presence of the ro3 al family
of Oude in England had no other effect than that of
drawing attention to the ine'hanstible natural riches of
India, their visit would indeed be a profitable one.
In conclusion, Major Bird expressed, on behalf of
their Royal Highne-ses, their thanks for the very
handsome welcome the Mayor and his guests had
given them.
London, England, 1857-04-04

SATURDAY,

It is stated that Colonel Waugh, one of the Directors of
the London and Eastern Bank, who obtained advances
from that concern to the extent of 237,0001., has retired
with hia family to the Continent.
At the Court of Bankruptcy, yesterday, the examination
of Mr. T. Adams, banker, of Ware andHertfurd, was again
adjourned.
The Report of the Committee of Shareholders in the
Australian Agricultural Company was considered at a
meeting yesterday, and eventually received. A variety of
changes will be made in consequence, both among the
Directors and in the system of management.
Mr. Apsley I'ellatt was examined at the Court of Bank-
ruptcy, on Wednesday, with regard to his share in the pro-
motion of the Royal British Bank. The ex•mewber for
the borough came out of the ordeal greatly damaged. He
took no care of the interests of the shareholders, but a
good deal of his own, for he sold out in 1850, at a time
when he knew the danger which threatened the concern,
and at a time when a little courage and openness might
and would have prevented the frightful ruin and misery
which has since occurred. There are few persons in the
City who do not blame Mr. Pellatt for his whole conduct
in connection with this affair

The Russian railway scheme is advertised in the
French papers; but it is believed that the capitalists of
Paris will not be able to find a market for their first sub.
scription of 2,5000001.
The Trade Reports of the week continue satisfactory. A
great production is evidently going on in our staple menu.
factures, and employment is general. The elections, as a
whole, have disturbed the operations of trade to a very
slight extent.

AMERICA.

The usual mail with dates from New York to the
19th, and bearing the Clarendon-Dallas Central
American Treaty, 'Edified, but with several ame.,d-
ments entirely vitiating the principal conditions, has
arrived.

There is no other political news of importance.
Lord Napier has expressed himself highly gratified
with the cordiality of his reception.

INDIA.

Intelligence from Bombay, March 5, and Cal-
cutta, Feb. 21, states, as an undoubted fact, that his
Excellency Viscount Canning, Governor-General of
India, has tendered his resignation.
The Hurkaru suppoi is this statement, and says :

Lord Canning, we are assured, feels that he has not been
trt sled with courtesy by !he home authorities, who not only
hive taken the conduct of the Persian war out of his lord-
ship's hamls—a war at present carried on with the hoops
and revenue oil mlia—hut have als.t, we are tad, despatched
instructions direct to a subordinate Government with
peremptory orders that they shall be carried out, and are
tons, it is said, controlling and directing the resources of
India, without any reference to the head of the Government
of India, the Governor General. The last mail, we are
informed, conveyed an indignant remonstrance addressed
b) Lord Canning to the Ministry, end in the same despatch
his lordship, we understand, desired to be relieved Iron an
office the duties of which be is not permitted to exercise.
A letter from the Khyber Pass, dated the 28th
ultimo, reports that Dust Mohammed had left the
camp that day. Up to the date of th•• letter, no
encounter had taken place between the Persians and
the Atfghans.
The results of the late negotiations with the
Ameer are currently reported to be that we are to
subsidise him to the extent of 10,0001. or 20,0001 a
month, or more, for the defence of Candahar. Dost
Mohammed, it is shrewdly expected, will pocket the
subsidy, and leave Candahar to take care of itself.
Three British officers are en route to the city, which
is believed to be yet uticaptured by the Persians.
Some disturbances in Pegu are reported.
The five per-cent. loan at Calcutta has failed.

THE APPROACHING MURRAIN is exciting much at-
tention. The disease is spreading so rapidly among
the grazing districts of Holstein, and up and down
the low marshy banks of the Elbe, as to cause the
most serious apprehensions on the Continent. The
different agricultural districts are taking every step
to check the progress of the disease, but without
avail. The epidemic, according to the researches of
Professor Spinola, in Poland, Professor Bugdaleck,
in Bohemia, 6tc., is a species of contagious typhus,
characterized by various pathological states, the chief
of which is ulceration of the intestinal gland&

the Italians love to style their enthusiasm, it sur-
passed even that exhibited for a Grisi or a Lind--a
Pasta or a Malibrau—a Rubini or a Mario—a
Tamburini or a Ronconi. The uninitiated, on
taking up Mr. Lumley's prospectus for 1857, would
naturally look for a repetition of the names recited
above—such signal successes of course must be
succeeded by permanent re-engagements. The
reverse,! however, was the case. In place of the
improvised engagements of 1856, the unparalleled
phalanx of lyric genius, according to our daily con-
temporaries, the list for 1857 comprised only the
names of Alboni, Piccolomini, Mlle. Berti, Signor
Balletti, and Signor Beneventano. The new engage-
ments were Mlle. Spezia, Mlle. Ortolani, Mlle.
Ramos, Mlle. Puma, Signor Giuglini, Signor
Bottardi, Signor Corsi, and Signor Vittletti—almost
an entirely novel troupe, in fact. Signor Rossi, \Jim
replaced as buffo that stupendous Zucconi, re-
appeared at the fag end of the season, Beneventano,
for some inexplicable reason, having done duty fur
him in Bartolo—a delineation which effectually
killed the Barbiere, with the aid of Reichardt one
time and Bottardi on another occasion. Charles
Braham, Reichardt, and Belart—the one an English
tenor, the second a German one, and the last a
Spanish one—were in turn added to the company of
1857. • The season opened on Tuesday, the 14th of
April, with Donizetti's Favorite, and closed on
Thursday, August 6th, with Verdi's Traviata and
th:i last act of Puritani. The subscription was for
thirty nights, and ended Saturday. July 25 ; since

at five p.m. At nine o'clock the same evening they left
for Osborne, where they arrived safely the following
morning.

RUSSIA.

The Emperor of Russia arrived safely at St.
Petersburg on the Ist of August.
A despatch from St. Petersburg announces that
Captain Lichareff, commander of the Russian naval
station, near Astrabad, a Persian town in the Persian
province of the same name, on the southern shore of
the Capsian, bad landed troops on the 12th of May,
and had destroyed the Aoul Tonmatch, where a tribe
of Turcoman robbers had taken refuge. A Russian
courier, and some Parisian subjects, who were captives
of these Turcomans, recovered their liberty by this
act.

LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1857

POSTSCRIPT.

A letter from St. Petersburg, in the Constitution
nel, states that Russia has made an application to
the Porte, with a view to such a modification of the
Treaty of Paris as woul.l enable her to employ a
larger number of vessels of war to carry on her
present operations on the coast of Circassia.

THE HAGUE.

The Netherlands Government has presented to
the States General a projet de loi, having for its
object the abolition of slavery in the West Indies.
The basis of the project will be an indemnity,
which is calculated at 34,000,000 guilders, to be paid
to the proprietors of slaves.
DENMARK.

A Copenhagen letter, in the Brnssels Independence,
says :

The latest news confirms the statement that a new
constitution will be offered to Holstein and Schleswig.

The conditions are, it is said, most honourable and
acceptable. His Majesty has made every concession
compatible with the interests of the monarchy and tho
dignity of the Crown.
AMERICA AND BRAZIL.

The usual mails have arrived, butZhout much
political intelligence of importance. The military
expedition to the great Salt Lake City is being
pressed forward. At Kansas there was some pros,Nect
of a collision between the people and the troops.
From all quarters the account of the crops is highly
satisfactory.

The Honduras advices report that the treaty with
Great Biitain guaranteeing the railroad is ratified,
while the convention for ceding the Bay Islands to
Honduras, and terminating the Mosq Tito protecto-
rate, was still in the hands of the legislative com-
mittees.

From Brazil the intelligence is unimportant beyond
the sad news of the attaatination at Pernatnbuoo of
the British Vice-Consul, Mr. T. (,ollan, on the
evening of the 6th of July. Up to the 18th no clue
had been obtained to the assassins. It is supposed
that private, and not political motives, induced the
act.

DIVORCE BILL.

In the evening the house went again into com-
mittee upon this bill, commencing with the eighth
clause, specifying the judges who were to constitute
the full court.

Mr. DRUMMOND moved to omit the clause, with the
view of substituting a clause enacting that the judge
of the Court of Probate should bo the sole judge of
the Court of Divorce and Matrimonial Causes, with
full authority ito hear and determine all matters
therein.

Strong objections to the proposed constitution of
the court were urged by Lord J. Manners, Mr. Malins,
Lord J. Russell, and Mr. Henley.
Sir G. GREY P.uggested that the clause might be
allowed to stand until the other clauses were con-
sidered, and upon the report of the holm might
decide upon the expediency of any alteration in the
constitution of the court.
A long discussion, in which the unprecedented
conduct of the Government supporting a clause
which they themselves admitted required modifica-
ti'n, terminated in a division in favour of the clause
in its original form, of 105 to 71.
In the oth clause, to the matters reserved for the
jurisdiction of not less than three judges of the
court were added petitions for annulling a marriage.
While this clause was under discussion the Go-
vernment were much pressed, as the existing country
machinery was to be swept away, to provide some
local jurisdiction, and an amendment was moved by
Mr. Dnusisionn (which he subsequently withdrew,
as being informal), empowering the judgs ordi-
nary, within certain limitations, to authorise the
County Courts to try cases and decree judicial sepa-
ration. . .

Upon a division clause 9 was carried by 139
to 80. - -

On arriving at the 15th clause, the chairman was
ordered to report progress.
The Constables (Detached Parts of Counties) Bill
was withdrawn.

Sir J. BULLER moved the second reading of the
Prisoners' Removal Bill, but., Mr. MASSEY objecting
to the measure, the motion was withdrawn, and the
order for the second reading was discharged.

Sir F. liEr.r.y moved the third reading of the
Wills, &c., of British Subjects Abroad Bill, which,
although opposed by the ATTORNEY•GENERAL, was
agreed to, ana the bill passed.
The report of the committee of supply was brought
up and agreed to.
The Sale of Obscene Books, S:c., Prevention Bill
was committed pro fornul.
On the order for going into committee upon the
Leases and Sales of Settled Estates Act Amendment
Bill,

Mr. Cox moved to defer the committee for three
months, but this motion was negatived and the
house went into committee on the bill.
Mr. AYRTON moved that the chairman leave the
chair, arid, upon a division, this motion was carried
by a majority of 1.-45 to 44.

Constantinople, Aug. 2.
The French Ambassador, failing to obtain the setting
aside of the Moldavian elections, suspended relations with
the Porte on Thursday last, and prepared to leave Con.
stantinople.
To prevent that step the Sultan changed his Ministers.
Mustapha Pacha (of Crete) is appointed Grand Vizier,
Ash Facha Minister of Foreign Affairs, Redschid Pacha
(ex-Grand Vizier) President of the Tanzimat, Pacha
(of Jedda) Seraskier.

Vienna, Thursday Evening, Aug. 6.
M. de Thouvenel, the French Ambassador at Constanti-
nople, took down his flag yesterday, but informed the
Turkish Government that he should not leave his post for
some days.

Notes by Russia, Prussia, and Sardinia were also
presented against the recent elections.
The change of Ministry is evidently a concession
to France, and it is probable that before long we shall
hear that the elections have been annulled. Tele-
graphic despatches from Jassy state that the eke.
Lions were taking place in Moldavia in spite of the
protests of the inhabitants, and that from the means
employed by the Kaimakan Vogolides, an immense
majority was assured to the Government. The dery
and some other corporations had refused to vote in
spite of the threats of the Kaimakan.
The Nord contains the following telegraphic com-
munication, dated Berlin, the 4th :
The identical protest of France, Prussia, Russia, and
Sardinia at Constantinople is authentic. This protest is
to be transmitted to the Porte in case of an anticipated
emergency. Should the Porte not annul the Moldavian
elections, then Prussia will break off all diplomatic rela-
tions at Constantinople.

The Morning Post of Thursday confirms the fore-
going in the following terms :
The change of Ministry has not yet led to any solution
of the diplomatic disputes existing at Constantinople.
The new Cabinet has offered to summon to Constantinople
the Kaimakans of Wallachia and Moldavia, to hear from
their own lips their accounts of the recent voting in the
Principalities. This proposal was declined on Tuesday
last by M. de Thonvenel, who haughtily termed it " un
refus derisoire "of his demand. Unless the whole of the
recent proceedings are annulled, he threatens, with the
Russian Ambassador, to leave Constantinople, and be is
countenanced in this, we regret to say, by :he representa-
tives of Prussia and Sardinia. The Ambassador of
England and the Austrian Internuncio take totally
opposite views, and deplore this rough treatment of the
Porte, which is calculated in its effect to injure the best
interests, and to compromise the stability of the Ottoman
empire, whilst in its overbearing and rude hostility it out-

THE DIVORCE BILL.

WHEN people are worsted in argument they
frequently grow all the more positive, and
endeavour by a loud voice and a scornful air
to maintain the ground they can no longer
defend by reason. If they happen for the time
to have numbers on their side, there is no limit
to the blustering violence with which they will
trample down an unpalatable truth. They will
go through all the antics of Lord Peter's bull
to awe and terrify those who are rash enough
to differ from them, and, when evidence begins
to fail, imitate Titus Oates, and roar all over
the country that " they are stifling the plaat."
Unhappily experience has taught them that
this mode of procedure is but too often suc-
cessful. Where immediate action is involved,
the victory of the moment is as good as a vic-
tory for all time. The subjects of CHARLES 11.
might return to their senses, but they could
not restore to life the victims whom their folly
had destroyed ; and men may change their
minds about the truth and justice of any par-
ticular statute, but when cnco it is intei woven
with the law of the land there is small chance
of its rescindment.

The journal which is at this moment
playing the dignified and enlightened part
of the Titus Oates of the Press is that
which has been permitted to assume the title
of the leading journal. Unable to compete
with the opponents of the Divorce Bill in
logic, it has recourse to oracular contradie-
tiwi. This is so—this is not so ; sic solo, sic
jubco. When Scripture and reason are against
it, then the vote of the majority is better
than all argument. When the vote of the
majority is against it, as on a recent occa-
sion, then an opinion based on bigotry and
supported by faction cannot be allowed to
override the dictates of Scripture and reason !
While carefully avoiding to grapple with the
point of scholarship at issue, the Times in-
forms its readers that it " has no great respect
" for the scholarship of nine thousand clergy-
" men." And, instead of attempting to refute
them by superior argument, " we," says the
same authority," beg to assure them that what
" they are pleased to remember so posi-
" tively, is a downright untruth," i.e., that by
the Word of GOD marriage with a divorced
woman is adulterous. " We beg to as-
" sure them." Indeed ! The clergy must be
greatly interested in the fact, and could
