the successive leaders of the ether parties. Mr. Fox
opposed the legislative union of the islands because
he believed that the intimate alliance, not less per-
sonal than moral, which subsided between the Eng-
lish and Irish whigs, would preserve the connexion.
Mr. Pm, on the other hand, maw that there was no
party in Ireland congenial with English tory views.
After 1782 Mr. PITT naturally feared for the con-
nexion. He said, "As there is no legislative union,
let us have a commercial one." He brought forward
" Irish commercial propositions," which failed.
Mr. Fox, on the other hand, reposed fall faith in the
strong party union of English and Irish liberals.
The existence of that friendly union preserved the
islands. But for the want of such a vital—such a
living personal connexion—the government of Ire-
land, for the last fifteen years, has been much em-
barreased. We say it without the least bitterness,
that the class of men who were flung by O'CONNELL
into St. Stephen's did vast injury to the social and
political character of their country, without doing it
any good. Their social influence in Ireland, or Eng-
land, was nominal. They bad no qualities for gain-
ing influence in the House of Commons. They could
not coalesce with English radicals, whose ideas and
views were totally different. The tortes contemptu-
ously spurned them from their private clubs and
societies. The whigs maid not be partial to the men
who had usurped their seats, and had coarsely vili-
fied their principles. The gigantic influence of
O'CONNELL, and his multifarious talents alone, gave
them any influence. Had they been men of in-
fluence in Ireland, or of talents in parliament, they
would never have so tamely submitted to his sway.
The introduction of so ulterior a class of members
has been felt in Irish legislation down to the present
session. We drew attention, some time since, to the
notorious incompetency of the present Irish members,
and our remarks have been echoed by nearly all the
leading Irish journals. Bat what is the remedy? We
answer, a very obvious one, which must be stringently
employed. The Irish constituencies, and those who
lead them, must take the matter up at once. The in-
capables must be ousted. The mere cyphers; the in-
significant country squires; the fantastic Fribbles,
and dingy provincial dandies, must be sent about ,
their business. Their places must be filled by steady
and respectable men, by those who can afford to have
their characters scrutinised.
We repeat that there must be a discreet choice of
candidates for the coming election. Irish consti-
tuencies must not follow the bad example given by
the county of Cork, where two inexperienced gentle-
men are new put forward as rival claimants for the
seat filled by O'CONNELL. The tones have started
Mr. LEADER, a respectable country gentleman, and
nothing more ; certainly in few respects qualified to
be the member for so large a constituency as that of
Cork. On the other hand, the repealer., determined in
their obstinacy to prevent a whig from being chosen,
have pat forward a physician practising in a country
town, Dr. MAntice Powea, for their champion, and
have carried his election ! What possible influence
could such a gentleman have in an assembly like the
House of Commons ? He is not experienced in public
business; he is neither a landholder or a great capitalist;
he is unacquainted with commerce, and has no stand-
ing as a public man ; yet, blinded by fanaticism, the
county of Cork repealers have chosen such a mere
cypher for their candidate. There cannot be a greater
error in Irish politics than in returning members
without personal influence, or the qualities which win
favour. No wise constituency ought to disregard the
social position and personal claims of a candidate for
their suffrages. To send into parliament men without
rank, without talent, without experience of affairs, is
a blunder of the greatest magnitude, yet we are sorry
to observe that some of the Irish constituencies seem
resolved to persevere in the absurd course which has
given them for many years an inefficient, obscure, and
despised body of representatives.
It is for the leaders of the liberal party in Ire-
land to put an end to this system of returning
feeble representatives to parliament. The liberal
party in Ireland has been for some time in a state of
abeyance ; but now, when too large a portion of the
popular party is showing an abject indifference to
politics, the leaders of the Irish liberals must come
forward and interpose their authority between the
political inaction of the people, and the grasping aims
of the ascendancy. If they will not do so, the case of
Ireland may become worse than it has been : " Even
in the lowest depths a lower still."

LISBON, Jr.rtnt 29.
It was rumoured yesterday that despatches had
reached the Admiral from Sir Thomas Maitland, off the
bar of Oporto ; the report turned out correct The de-
spstches were brought by the Preach steamer, Anacreon,
and appear high)mportant. It would seem that the
queen's field-mare, the Duke of Saldanka, after months
of most cautious inactivity, had, somehow or other, em-
boldened by the immediate presence of the overwhelm-
ing. Spanish force, advanced to within gunshot of the city,
and determined to ham a brush with the enemy's out-
posts. This took place on the 27th, the result being a
score or so of killed and wounded on either aide; no very
t matter, the mean time, the Marquis of Louie
urenacle, by marriage, to the queen), had announced to Sir
homes Maitland the derision of the Junta to yield up the
city and to surrender themselves upon certain conditions,
the principal stipulation being that the Spaniards were to
garrison Oporto, and receive their arms, but that Saldanha,
with the Cabral forces, should not be permitted to put foot
in the place.
The Marshal, however, offers impediments to • picifice,
Son. Ile insists upon entering the city. Colonel Wylde,
we are told, inclines to Saldenha's wish, and so, it is likely
that, in the perseverance of • line of action arising out of
pammal pique on the one side, and the desire of enjoying a
In* Idevaph on the other, more blood may yet be shed.
Asmara the trifling occurrences just now so characteristic
of Lisbon doings is the seising by the police and incarcerat
fag in the already overflowing jails of all the soldiers they
aaa lay bonds on or entrap, who were the other day released
Dana Fort St. Juliaa upon the solemn pledge of the English
mimiral and English minister that they should receive name-
plate for their various homes. The government now say
ihiSellee free and on shore these men again fall under the
mmseription act, and, consequently, those who would not
take military service, are flung into prison, where, with a
wholesome abstinence from food and water, these base
jtaissaries of the queen of " good faith " anticipate over-
coming any lingering reluctance of the men to serve.
Sir Witham Parker is aware of this infamous infraction of
pledges and engagements ; I state this upon authority, pledge
myself to the fact I relate, and by next packet will furnish
you documentary proof of the admiral's cognisance of these
outrages.
The following is a translation of a royal decree appearing
is the Diario of yesterday, but bearing date the 26th inst.:
" COLONIAL-OFFICIL—This department having received
the confidential despatch dated 27th March last, in which
the Governor-General of the province of Angola announces
the arrival at Loanda (the Portuguese Sierra Leone) on
board the brirfAudaz of the political prisoners taken in the
action of Torres Vedras on the 22nd December last, and her
Majesty the Queen being desirous to extend to the said pri-
soners the advantages of the amnesty which she was plessed
(ciy. compelled ?) to grant by decree of the 28th April last,
the same august lady orders, through the marine and colo-
nial department, that the said governor-general, fist
wading from the said prisoners en oath of submission to her
august person and to the constitutional charter of the
monarchy, the prisoners are to be considered as at liberty,
and as such permitted to reside, or retire to whatever place
they may deem proper, it being understood that the said
governor is from this moment authorised to arrange

dada', June 26, 1847.

ceiving and returning the envoi, entered the hall, by a door
at the upper end, near the el:10r of state which had been
provided for her use. Her Majesty, who wore a" dress of
white muslin, trimmed with primrose-coloured ribbon., with
bonnet to match, and who looked extremely well, was at-
tended by the Duchess of Sutherland and another lady in
waiting, the Earl of Fortmone, Earl Spencer, and Sir George
Grey, and was conducted to the throne by the uni-
versity authorities. Having taken her seat, a shout
was heard from without, and almost instantaneously
the ball, which, except at the throne and in the
gallery, had been hitherto empty, became crowded by
members of the university, who, rushing in, hailed
the presence of her Majesty and their Chancellor—
who, assisted by the Vice-Chancellor and some of the
heads of the colleges, was endeavouring to approach
the throne in something like order—with hums so loud and
so long that the fine old Tudor Gothic ball rang again and
again with their echoes. Occupying pieces near the throne
were the distinguished foreign princes and the suite who ac-
companied her Majesty.
The Prince-Chancellor, on entering at the principal door,
proceeded, the Vice-Chancellor, bedells, and other univer-
sity officers attending him, direct to the throne, where, on
approaching her Majesty, his Royal Highness tad the ad-
dress as follows

lace, bracelets, star, and George, rendered her Majesty
a most striking and glittering object, as she sat by
her consort's side, surrounded by her attendants
and court. The venerable Duke of Wellington occupied •
chair to the right of the Queen, and the Duke of Buocleuch.
the Duchess of Sutherland, the Earl and Countess of'..
Hardwick°, together with numerous other noble personages,
including the Premien princes and their suite, were seated
near her Majesty. At half-past eight the concert began
with the national anthem, the Queen and Prince
standing during the performance, which was under the
conduct of Professor Walmisley, who presided at the piano.
A MS. symphony composed by this gentleman wu next
played, much to the gratification of the royal maple, who
loudly applauded the composition. The principal vocalists
were Mdl le. Alboni and Misses Dolby and Birch, together with
Signori Sal vi and Lablache,and Messrs.ll . Phillips and Lockey.
The orchestra comprised the most eminent musicians in the
two Italian theatres. Several of the vocal pieces appeared
to give her Majesty and the Prince consort great pleasure ;
and notwithstanding the fatigues which both of them must
have undergone during the day, there were no symptoms of
lassitude perceptible in either. The concert did not termi-
nate until Rear eleven o'clock. After it was concluded, the
Queen and Prince retired (amidst the acclamations of the
audience) to the royal apartments at Trinity College, thus
bringing to a close the first day's visit to Cambridge.

FATAL AFFRAY IN SOUTHWARK.—Yesterday even-
ing a man named George Rodway, aged 32 years, expired in
the accident ward of Guy's Hospital. from injuries received
in a fight. The deceased& few nights *Uwe left a public-house in
Gravel-lane very much intoxicated, quarrelling and fighting
with several persons, and when be reached a spot facing Ow
Salmon Tavern, in Union-street, Southwark, he had some
words with a young man named H•Donald, and ultimately a
desperate fight ensued. They continued the battle until the
7th round, when M'Donald threw the deceased with great
violence on the kerbstone, which terminated the contest.
Rodway remained unconscious for a few seconds, but subse-
quently reeevered and was taken home. On the following
morning he became worse, and a surgeon being called in ad.
vised his removal to the above hospital, where Mr. Abershon,
the assistant-surgeon, on examination, found the deceased to
be suffering from absorbing inflammation of the left arm,
which had evidently received violent injury. There were
several external marks of violence on the back part of the
body aad the bead. Delirium tremens eventually came on,
which terminated fatally. Information has been forwarded
to Mr. W. Payne, the coroner, who baa ordered a post-mor-
tem examination of the body, and an inquest, which will
take place this day.

FRANCE.—HAVES, JILT 4.—The Journal do
Havre gives an amusing account of an incident in which
one of our tars was concerned. On Saturday last the Eng-
lish steam-packet, the Dieppe, plying between Havre and
Brighton, was stopped on her first journey by an infringe-
ment of the custom lass, followed by a breach of the peace.
One of the crew of the steamer was seen, ss the boat was
about to start, endeavouring to smuggle away a few packets
of gloves. He had, however, been watched, and was seised
whilst in the act. The delinquent, says theJournaldu Hoer.,
disappointed in his intentions, answered the rude summons
made him by one of those British blows with his fist which
send a man spinning to the ground, and endeavoured to fly.
But he was soon stopped, and the steam-boat was only enabled
to proceed after a negotiation with the authorities, which
lasted a whole hour.
ITALY.—ROME.—PROCLAMATTON OF THE POPE.
—Some placards of an exciting tendency having recently
appeared at Rome on the the occasion of the fire on the 17th
ult., a proclamation was published there oa the 22nd by
Cardinal Gum, in the name of the pope, in which his holi-
ness, after alluding to the reforms which he had felt it his
duty to introduce, declares that he intends to persevere in
the same course, but to observe in so doll wisdom and
prudence. The proclamation says: " His h ins+, is firmly
resolved to pursue the course of amelioration in every branch
of the public administration which may require it ; but he
is equally resolved to do this only on a prudent and cal-
culated gradation, and within limit, which belong essen-
tially to the sovereignty and the temporal govern-
ment of the head of the Catholic Church —• go-
vernment which cannot adopt certain forms which
would ruin even the existence of the sovereignty, or at least
diminish that external liberty—that independence in the ex-
ercise of the supreme primacy for which God willed that the
holy see should have • temporal principality. The holy
tether cannot forget the sacred duties which compel him to
preserve intact the trust that has been confided to him." The
pope then enumerates some of the reforms and ameliorations
that he has introduced, and the proclamation adds: " The
holy father has not been able to see, without deep regret,
that certain restless minds are desirous of profiting by the
present state of things to promulgate and endeavour to
establish doctrines and ideas totally contrary to his
maxims, or te impose upon him others entirely opposed to
the tranquil and pacific stature and the sublime character
of the person who is the vicar of Jams Christ, the minister
of • God of peace, and the father of all Catholics, to what-
ever part of the world they may belong, or finally, to excite
in the minds of the people, by speeches or writings, desires
and hopes of reform beyond'
the limits which his holiness has
indicated. As these persons are in small number, and the
good sense and rectitude which govern the great majority of
the people have hitherto rejected these insinuations and
counsels, the holy father feels assured that they will never
Sod a welcome among the people. But it is more may to
imagine than to describe the grief felt by his holiness
at some: horrible acts which have taken place in various
provinces, and which are in open opposition to the peace and
concord which he was desirous of establishing among his
beloved subjects, when, in the early days of his glorious pon-
tificate, tie pronounced the sweet words of pardon. Another
subject of grief for his holiness has arisen from certain as-
semblages of the multitude, which, order a pretext of a
scarcity of corn or other wants, have taken place in divers
parts of the Mate, to the disturbance of public order,
and sometimes with menaces ageism& personal security.
Cardinal Gitzi then says that the pope does not confound
these meetings with these which have taken place for the
manifestation of gratitude for the benefits which be has
bestowed upon the people, and that lie holiness is deeply
sensible of these d sad implores God to
bestow the most perfect them, but he adds :
The paternal heart of lie suffers deeply at
seeing entire populating* lei ledividuals incessantly put to
expense for public dismomstretkms, artisans abandoning
their labour to the injury of their families, and youths
destined to study losing time which is precious to them.
The heart of his holiness would suffer still more if this
state of things were to continue. The first year of his pon-
tificate is over, and in this period of time the holy father
has been able fully to appreciate the love, gratitude, and
devotedness of hie well-beloved subjects. He now asks a
proof of these praiseworthy sentiments, and this proof must
consist in the cessation of all unusual popular meetings,
on whatever occasion and all extraordinary manifestations,
I except those for which, anterior to the present notifies-
' tion, permission had been received from the competent
authorities."

THE LNSTALLATION.-HER MAJESTY'S

THE sole grounds upon which exorbitant duties oa
foreign goods imported were advocated after suffi-
cient proof had been given that they produced no
revenue was, that they defended certain manufac-
turing or agricultural intend& High and differen-
tial duties were supposed to protect home production.
Parliament arrogated the power of creating or pre-
serving certain branches of trade.
The triumph of the free trader consisted, not in
having the obnoxious duties abolished. He aimed
at something higher : his wish was, to destroy the
convictions on which the advocacy of those duties
was founded. His labour was directed to obtain an
acknowledgment of the incorrectness of this notion.
He wished the house to declare that it would not
create and would not protect any branch of trade by
laying on restrictions.
This acknowledgment was practically obtained by
Sir ROBERT PEEL, but only as leader of those who
for years had professed the new faith, and had man-
fully fought against him to spread it. Under more
congenial leaders it might be expected that the same
house would at least show the same views, and would
furnish the same majority to support them. Were a
question raised concerning inland production, it might
be expected that restrictions would form no part of
any future project for the encouragement of industry.
But the case has occurred; and how is it treated?
Parties desirous of constructing railways, encouraged
by the unprecedented success which has attended
some of those undertakings, come to parliament for
leave to do so. They are told that they monopolise
the capital of the country, and that they are not to
build them. Whether it is the agricultural or the
manufacturing interest that is to suffer fron the
alleged monopoly does not appear. Ministers
are not even called upon to state which in-
terest they now recommend parliament to pro-
tect. An indistinct notion prevails that railroads
absorb capital. People have not yet gone the
length of openly declaring that they caused the
present dearth of corn, or the momentary stoppage of
the factories ; but there is a notion abroad that all is
not right about them. It is true that we have no
line se long as some of the German lines ; but what
does that signify? What good can it do an Edinburgh
man to be twenty-four hours sooner in London than
he now is ? People shake their heads, and parlia-
ment throws out the bills. Matter-of-fact observers
make such comments as the following : A railway
requires about 200 tons of iron per mile. Is parlia-
ment afraid of exhausting our mines? To produce
this iron, wages are paid long before the rail-
road company gets its rails or chairs. The
labourer, therefore, runs no risk. The timber is
imported ; its cost and its freight are paid before the
railway company gets it. The landowner is on the
spot to look after his own interests. Who runs any
nsk in contracting with a railway company ? Well,
but these companies lock up all our money. How do
they lock it up ? They neither make rails nor sleepers
of it. If money passes through their hands, it goes
forthwith into the pockets of the iron master and of
the timber merchant, or rather of the people whom
these employ. They will scarcely deliver their goods
without paymeat, and consequently the money sub-
scribed can scarcely be locked up, at least not by the
company. To people of such ample minds the money
employed to enable a company to order some thou-
sands of tons of iron, and some hundreds of thousands
of cubic feet of timber, instead of being consumed, is
positively increased by its being thus appropriated.
let the railway but be built, and it will be sees
whether the company is a loser in money or not ;
and if the shareholders have lost no money, how
can the nation be a loser? Where is even a t
for interfering in this purely commercial tion ?
If this gimp's view of the matter be not the right
one, it would be charitable in any opponent of railway
speculations to set us right. He, of course, can ley
his finger on the particular party who suffers by the
expenditure necessary to construct a railway ; and
can show which of the monsters that beset the path
of the monied man swallows his cash without giving
it to an one else. The obnoxious party, when once
aefed, may run the gauntlet between landowners
desirous of seeding produce cheaply to market, and
Maanfacturers in want of cheap coals or of raw mate-
rials. We might add the population of remote dis-
tricts desirous of being cheaply fed to the list of his
foes. Bat until we see him, how can we decide
whether he is a moose or a mammoth ?

. _
A written answer to the address was headed by Sir George
Grey to her Majesty, by whom it was read. It was brief and
appropriate ; alter which, theVice-Chancellor, the masters of
the several colleges in their order, the bishops prment, end
the Hon. C. B. Law, one of the member' forth. university,
were presented to her Majeety by His Royal Higbee's
the Chancellor, and had the honour to kit hands.
The ceremony of presentation being concluded, the
Prince and the other officers of the university retired
in the same order as they had entered, and her Majesty,
attended by her ladies and officers in waiting, proceeded
to her apartments, the exit of the royal party being, like
their entrance, 'accompanied by the most energetic ap-
plause. During the progress of the ceremony there must
have beset at least 3,000 persons crowded together in the
hall. _ .

Tae B.NATI Hoces.—ln the afternoon the Chancellor
held a eongregation for the purpose of conferring honorary
degrees, at which were present all the distinguished persons
who had taken part in the ceremonies at Trinity in the morning,
and in addition the Deans of Bristol,Windsor, and Bt. Patrick,
and the Bishops of Antigua, Tasmania, and Cape Town. The
building was crowded in every part, so much so that, on the
arrival of the Chancellor (whose presence was greeted with
a repetition of those so:damations of welcome by which he
had been greeted in the morning), it was with great diffi-
culty that a lane through the throng was made to enable
him to reach the Chancellor's chair, which was placed
on the dais at the upper end of the room, a step
below and a little on the left hand of the throne.
The Chancellor entered the Senate-house, and in
about ten minutes afterwards, after the transaction of
some formal business, the cheers of the multitude outside
announced the proximity of her /Quigley, who shortly after-
wards entered, his Royal Rieman; the Chancellor, attended
by the bedells, &a., going to meet her, and conduct her to
the throne. Her Majesty having taken her seat, the public
orator of the university delivered a Lath oration, on intro-
ducing to the Chancellor the foreign princes and others who
were to receive honorary degrees. This oration occupied
nearly au hour in the delivery, and so exhausted the patience
of the assembly, that long before it was brought to • condo-
don the most unequivocal eyniptame of )htigne were mani-
fested.
The following were the iligress semlarted by the
Chancellor

The business of the congregation loving concluded, her
Majesty, conducted by the Chanedier, and attended by her
officers of state and the principal Mines of the univenity,
retired.

Sr. CATEZEINZ'S HALL.—M a z eilook, the Vice Chan-
oellor, who is also master of this caller, gave a sumptuous
banquet to her Majesty, his royal highnem the Chancellor,
the foreign primes, and about fifty of the most distinguished
of the visitors. -

Each train to-day has brought down an accerion to the
number of visitors, and the town has now become incon-
veniently crowded. The Norwich up-train, which leaves
Ely at 10 o'clock, and which brought the Marquis of Nor•
thamptsn, the Dean of Ely, the Dean of Westminster, and Sir
R. Murchison, was in 111Kh regain, that it was bend neces-
sary, at the Ely station, to pat on all the open cerriagre that

gnats to the number of pamengen that several were com-
pelled to ride on the rook of the ferriage; while others were
left behind in the hope that soomeding trains might have
enfikdent scare room for them.
The corporation address not having yet been delivered, we
do not put dish it, preferring that it should coon in its due
order, if it coma at all, to presenting days beforehand (ex-
cept as an advertisement) a document which it is pnAle
may never be used.

LOOClterritelilitn, EAST.---Mr. Edward Holland, of
Dumbleton, has consented to come forward, on the liberal
interest, for this division of the county. A requisition hu
been presented to Mr. Holland, and the reason assigned by
the requisitionists for contesting the county is " tae position
in which the eastern division is placed, in consequence of its
having, at the dictation of one family, returned two mem-
bers, both giving their support to that halting polity whick
is now repudiated by every statesman of eminence." Mr.
Holland, in his address to the electors, says, " I am ready to
come forward on condition that I am not called upon to
incur any expenditure in furtherance of my return, beyond
that which the law declares shall fall upon a candidate. It
must also be clearly understood, that whilst I spare no pains
and personal exertions in making my political sentiments
fully and generally known througheut the division, I con-
scientiously abstain from asking any man far his vote."
IPSWICH.—On Saturday, Mr. S. L. Fox, the colleague of
Mt. Gladstone, publicly stated his determination to retire.
Mr. Cobbold, a conservative, and chairman of the Eastern
Union Railway Company, is to be a candidate. On the
same day Mr. H. Adair addressed a large body of the liberal
electors; but considerable disappointment was felt, inas-
much so Mr. Adair declared himself unfavourable to vote by
ballot, and stated that the people were not sufficiently well
educated to be entrusted with any further extension of the
suffrage at present. These announcements created great
surprise and confusion, and added to the political distraction
already so prevalent in the borough.
KIRKCODIPRIGHTSHIRL.—The Solicitor-General has issued
his address, soliciting a renewal of the suffrages of the con
stituency.
LONOPOILD.—Besides the present representative, Mr. Le-
froy, two other conservatives, Mr. Fox and Mr. Blackall,
are canvassing the constituency. Nor are the liberals mac
tive, for it is very confidently stated that Mr. Luke White
and Mr. J. N. Vaughan are in the field, and as the lattet
would receive the support of the repealers and the Right Rev
Dr. O'Higgins, in whose diocese this county is comprised,
the liberals will probably succeed.
LINLITHOOWEIHIIIE.—The present member it is under-
stood will withdraw, and Mr. Dundas, teh younger, of Dun-
das, come forward in his stead.
LiviILPOOL. —The Liverpool Mail of Saturday states:—
" From all we can learn, Sir Digby Mackworth is in the
predicament of a vessel—say a fiat—sunk in very deep water.
There is little difficulty in getting at it ; but how to get it
up is a different affair. And then comes the question, if it
could be got up, is it worth the trouble and the expense ?
Sir Howard Douglas has been invited ; but it is extremely
problematical whether he will come. The honourable
baronet is willing, we believe, to continue his able, untiring,
and faithful services to his present constituents, provided
he can be the means of restoring unanimity amongst them.
But this is impossible in conjunction with Sir Digby Mack-
worth. If the latter gentleman would retire, Sir Howard
Douglas ought to be returned, and would be returned with-
out a contest. But we apprehend that this arrangement
cannot be accomplished ; in which case Sir Howard
is not likely to place himself in an unpleasant posi-
tion to serve the purposes of a party who nominated Sir
Digby Mackworth, without fairly and legitimately ascer-
taining the sentiments of the constitutional electors, without
consulting Sir Howard Douglas, and only made me of his
honoured name, when they could not help themselves, at
the latest moment. It is still asserted, that in case of Sir
Howard declining to come forward, Mr. Cardwell will be
nominated by the ultra free-traders. How a mere creature
of Peel will be received by the independent electors, and the
supporter of the Godless colleges in Ireland, by the even-
gelicel party, is a question which we shall not attempt to
answer. But this we can say, that if Sir Howard declines,
and Cardwell is proposed with Mackworth, the friends of
Lord John Manners will propose that noble lord in oppoei-
tion to the two latter, and in amity with the friends of Sir
Thomas Birch—not that there can be much political affinity
between them, although we cannot see why there should be
any collision or distracting hostilby, and we know there can
be no personal obstruction, but because it is desirable, above
all things, to secure for Liverpool the talents, the influence,
the liberal sentiments, the unflagging zeal, the accessible
habits, and the sterling independence of Lord John Manners.
We have reason to know that Lord John Manners has the
strongest objection to his name being used in any way cal-
culated to create disunion in Liverpool, or provoke a contest.
This is an honoarable trait in his character. These also are
the sentiments of his friends. But inasmuch as Sir Digby
Mackworth has been brought forward as a perfectly un-
known man, except at Exeter Hall, and to Mr. Colquhoun,
the late member for Kilmarnock, in so irregular a manner,
and Mr. Cardwell is invited to make the ingredients of the
mystic cauldron more repulsive, we c3ntend that Lord John
Mariners, being really first in the field, is not only fully
warranted, but in some measure bound to allow his friends
the chance of returning him. This is determined on."
Mowstoirtnenien.—The "county election" excites great
interest, is consequence of the attempt of the Duke of
Beaufort to teat his nominee in preference to Lord Granville
Somerset, who voted with the majority of the late ministry
for the repeal of the corn-laws.
ROXBUROHSTIIR.I.—The Dumfries Herald mentions a
rumour that Mr. Balfour, of Whittinghazae, will probably
start in opposition to the Hon. Mr. Elliott, for Roxburgh-
shire.
