Mn. ROEBUCK, M.P. for Sheffield, is feat recover-
ing from his recent indisposition. He has just left Malvern
(where he has been under the care of Dr. Gully) for his
residence in Hampshire. His medical advisers do not
think it desirable that he should attend to his parliamentary
duties this session, but good hopes are entertained of his
resuming his duties when parliament shall again assemble.
THE OUTWARD INDIAN MAIL—The Peninsular
and Oriental Company's steamer Bengal left Southampton
yesterday with the India, Chins, and Australian mail. The
mail was exceedingly heavy ; it was conveyed to Southamp-
ton by special train, Ailed four railway waggons, and
weighed about 15 tons. It consisted of 32.1 boxes and 18
bags,-97 of the boxes were for India, 10 for Chic., and 210
for Australia. Of the Australian boxes, 5 were for King
George's Sound, 25 for Adelaide, 108 for Melbourne, 8 for
Geelong, and 64 for Sydney. Amongst the passengers by
the Bengal were Colonel Outram, whose retain to India in
the service of the East India Company is significant of his
having triumphed over the Bombay government ; Lieute-
nant Percival, It.N., who is gone out to take charge of the
mails between Sues and Calcutta, and a portion of the suite
of the Rajah of Coorg. On board the Bengal, also, there
were mastiff dogs, gold and silver pheasants, peacocks, and
a quantity of poultry for the Pacha of Egypt.

LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 5.

laveßron, though the second greatest maritime
port in the empire, is a strange political town. Once

it
on a time was represented by brilliant statesmen
and profound economists, such as CANNING and firs-
KISSON ; lately it returned to Parliament such cor-
rupt or foolish nonentities as Mr. FORBES MAC-
KENZIE and Mr. CHARLES TURNER. Sometimes its

more prominent partisans club their thousands toge-
ther, and spend them in defeating commercial candi-
dates; at another time political candidates have thrown
away their tens of thousands, and half ruined them-
selves in aiming at its representation. Occasionally
Dr. M'NEILE and No Popery can turn the scale; then
the old Freemen can sway the balance ; on a third
occasion, the hishisin of the Roman Catholic Liberals
deters good men from coming forward, and secures
the return of bigots. But of late years, be the predomi-
nant influence what it may, rarely since I:II:SKISSON'S
death has Liverpool been worthily represented by dis-
tinguished politicians, eminent merchants, great
orators, or even good men of business. And,
unless Liverpool begins soon to turn over a new
leaf, and have in its elections some higher and better
object than mere petty local party triumphs, its re-
presentation will fall into that state in which it will
not be any very great honour to sit for Liverpool in
the Commons House of Parliament.

In the session 1847-32 Liverpool had been
better represented than usual. It had Mr. CARD-
WELL—then only a semi-liberal ; and Sir THOMAS
BIRCH—an honest, steady, intelligent, if not
a very brilliant, full-blown Liberal. But Sir THOMAS
had given offence to Irish Roman Catholics and Mr.
CARDIVELL to bigots on the other side ; and between
these two extreme stools of intolerance both fell to
the ground. The priests would not tolerate the one,
and Dr. M'NEILE denounced the other ; and Liver-
pool returned a politician who, to keep a small place,
had voted black was white on the Maynooth ques-
tion, and a merchant hostile to those economical
principles by which only trade can flourish and navi-
gation thrive.

The election of Messrs. MACKENZIE and TURNER
has, however, been set aside on the ground of a sys-
tem of small treating and five-shilling petty bribery

on a most extensive scale. And what do the
Tories of Live pool do ? Why, they first pick
out one of the weakest, silliest members of
the aristocracy, the Hon. H. T. LIDDELL,
and then they send to the Continent after
Mr. HORSFALL, the disgraced and discredited of
Derby ;and these men are their candidates! If the
pride and good sense of Liverpool do not rise and
reject the pretensions of the antiquated courtier, the
petit-maitre of politicians, then Liverpool will indeed
be fallen and degraded. Twice has the Hon. H.
T. LIDDELL been obliged to retire from the represen-
tation of Northumberland, where he is known. For
a while he represented North Durham on
the nomination of Lord LONDONDERRY ; but,
like a well-bred spaniel, withdrew from it when
my lord's eldest son was ready to be imposed on that
division of Durham. Last election he attempted the
little borough of South Shields, but it would have
none of him. And now, the flouted and despised of
his own vicinage is the Tory candidate for Liverpool ;
and the Tyne and the Wear are laughing at the
folly and nonsense of the Mersey, in picking up
their political castaway. Well they may. An emptier
man than the Hon. H. T. LIDDELL Liverpool, in
its love of lords and lordlings, could not have found.
Compared with the Heir Apparent of the Ravens-
worth barony, Lord MAIDSTONE is a great statesman,
and Mr. BAILLIE COCIIRANE a profound juris.
Iconsult.

It is difficult to recall to recollection the insignifi-
cance of such a politician as Mr.—we beg Liverpool's
pardon the Hon. Mr.—LIDDELL's antecedents. Talk-
ing frothily about Mr. CANNING, he opposed Catholic
Emancipation,--recalling affected reminiscences of
Mr. HUSKISSON, he opposed Free Trade. Against
Parliamentary Reform, Municipal Reform—against
the fair government of Ireland by his brother-in-law,
Lord NORMANBY—against Church Reform—against
the whole spirit and current of improvement—Mr. LID-
DELL, when in Parliament, ever voted. In the House
of Commons he rarely spoke without creating a smile,
and on one occasion he covered himself with universal
ridicule by a cock-and-a-bull story of untold deaths
or murders in tho Sunderland Workhouse. But
now, looking back again, as he always does when in
a pickle or a dilemma, to the memory of CANNING,
and the recollection of HUSKISSON, we are told
Mr. LIDDELL is " a sort of Liberal." Will he
vote for an extension of the suffrage? Let Liver-
pool ask the Honourable H. T. LIDDELL that. Will
he support Free Trade principles as carried out
in Mr. GLADSTONE'S Budget ? Would he have
upheld the DERBY Government ? These are
questions for the canvass and the hustings. Mr. LID-
DELL'S liberalism is about on a par with his
sanctity and Protestantism—it is the sickly reflex of
Mr. DISRAELI'S modern Bolingbrokeism, jug as Mr.
HORSFALL'S religion is merely Dr. M'NEILE'S bigotry
at second hand.

Admirably selected by Mersey Toryism, Mr.
HORSFALL is to play second best to Mr. LIDDELL'S
first man. Bribery and corruption in infinitesimal
doses, on a homoeopathic scale, voided Mr. TUR-
NER'S election. So the Liverpool Tories (or rather
the more violent of them) seek for a successor in a
gentleman who bribed and corrupted Derby in a
more substantial manner; after the old allopathic
fashion. Having recalled Mr. HORSFALL from his
continental tour, we presume they will also summon
Mr. FLUL from his barber's shop at Shrewsbury, and
Mr. MORGAN from his bricks and mortar, to repeat
at Liverpool the services they rendered Mr. HORS-
FALL at Derby.
Opposed to Tory Frineiples and Messrs. LIDDELL
and HOP9FALL is Sir ERSKINE PERRY an old and
tried Liberal, son of PERRY of the Morning Chro-
nick in its old successful days. He is a re-
tired Indian Judge, and, in the beet sense of
the word, a gentleman. Though the son of a man
who in the worst of times, and under circumstances

the most adverse and disheartening, kept the beacon
of liberal principles steadily shining until better days
dawned on them, Sir ERSKINE PERRY needs no bor-
rowed lustre from the services and memory of his
father; for he has acquired reputation of his own.
Distinguished as one of the best Judges that ever
sat in, and at last presided over, the Queen's Court at
Bombay, Sir Easaisv l'eatav was first and foremost
in the great cause of native education. He did not
while away his vacations at the hills ; but rendered
himself familiar with the internal condition of India,
saw fur himself how justice was administered in the

country, and studied the native character and
wants where few Europeans ever penetrated.
By such means Sir ERshINE won the confidence of
the natives in the Bombay Presidency to an extent
unequalled by any other functionary; and lately in

England he has been one of the most able and Intel.
ligent of the witnesses examined before the Lords'
and Commons'Committce on India. But Sir ERsiilN2
PERRY'S qualifications to represent Liverpool are not
confined to his general political opinions, or to hie
special Indian information. Since his return home
he has laboured assiduously as a Law Reformer, and
is evidently prepared to carry out in rarhe,
ment the experience he has gained on the Beach.
Mr. MACAULAY, in a recent speech, regretted the
want and absence of men of this class and calibre
from the House of Commons. Here is one without
the disqualification of being on the Bench. It is,
then, for Liverpool to say whether she will give to
Parliament the benefit of his mind, learning, talents,
and liberalism, or whether—preferring the inanity of
a LIDDELLand the stolidity of a llonsFALL—she will
reject Sir ERSKINE PERRY,and so still further damage
her political reputation and perpetuate her political
shame.

FRANCE.

PARIS, MONDAY ETZNING.
We are still sceptical here about the news that the
of the Pruth was actually effected on the
:[.th. the Monde/se merely says that a despatch
!nn st • •
Petersburg, of June 27, announces that the
silt r to occupy the principalities had been given by
the Russian guvermeut. The Debuts positively con-
tradicts the iutelligence of the actual entry. It main-
tains that, according to all accounts received in
France and England, the order to cross the frontiers,
en:v left St. Petersburg on the 26th, and, therefore,
it holds it to be certain that the passage of the Pruth
be the Its army cannot be known in Paris for se-
tin,' do, to come..lt In, however, to be borne in mind
that Prince Ntenclukotl had. at one time authority to
order the army to advance immediately upon the re-
jection of the ultimatum by the Porte without further
instructions from St. Petersburg. It has been reported
inched, that this authority was revoked, but
the truth of this report has never been
conclusively establisbed, and it is very possible that
014'.n.,.: to some misunderstanding—perhaps a pre-
concerted misunderstanding—the original instruc-
tions may have been acted upon. Perhaps a calcu-
lated mistake of this kind may, after all, iuvolvo the
peace solution upon which the Parisian public
so pertinaciously. reckons. Turkey has said she
will not negotiate while Russian troops oc-
cupy her territories, and Russia has sworn that
sheemelt invade them if the ultimatum were re-
jected. 'f he jait aceompti of the invasion will satisfy
this oath in the eyes of Russian subjects, and the
mistake"—supposing always that Russia is really
irdisposed for war, may be a plausible ground
for withdrawing her army at the suggestion
et Austria. However the fact may turn
out the Bourse has been in high spirits to-day.
A paragraph in the lankpenelance Belye, stating that
theood offices" of Austria had been ac-
cepted bgy
ltussia " and the Porte," met with very
general credence. This paper also asserted on
the authority of correspondence from Vienna,
of June 39, that the report of the Russians having
crossed the Pruth was false. Au impression was
prevalent hero that Lord Aberdeen's ministry would
be thrown out upon the India Bill, and the large
majority obtained by the English government on
that question is considered as an indication that the
peaceable and not anti-Russian policy attributed to
Lord Aberdeen will prevail. It is further reported
that at the cabinet council held in London on Satur-
day last, it was decided that the occupation of
the principalities by the Russians should not be
considered a cases. belli, on condition that
Russia would not object to the entry of the combined
fleets into the Dardanelles. The belief in the effi-
cacy of the Austrian mediation gains ground. It Is
suggested that Count Giulay will propose that Tur-
key should sign a treaty embodying the stipulation
of the last firman, not with Russia alone, which she
objects to do, but with ail the powers, and that the
parties to the treaty should at the same time guaran-
tee Turkey against any aggreesien from Russia. It
was quite overlooked at the Bourse, that, according
to the Correspondence Aufrichienne, Count Giulay
has merely gone to St Petersburg in consequence of
an incitation from some Russian officers of rank, to
witness the manoeuvres of the camp lately formed
near the capital.
l;y an imperial decree, Admiral Baron du Bour-
dieu has been nominated maritime prefect of Toulon,
in the place of Admiral Hamelin, appointed to the
command of the French fleet in the Nleffiterranean.
The Meniteur contains a report from M. de Per-
signy recommending the revival of the offices sup-
pressed, as be says, partly in 1832 and partly in 1848,
from motives of ill-judged economy, of secretaryships to
the prefects. The general question is submitted to the
consideration of a commission to be assisted by
the councillors of state now on a roving mission
to inspect the prefectures; but in the meanwhile,
M. de Persigny recommends at once, with a view of
relieving the prefects from the details of business, the
re-establishment of the secretaries in the eight first-
class prefectures. which are the Bouches-du-Rhone,
Gironde, Haute Garonne, Loire Inferieure, Nord, Bas
Rhin, Seine Inferieure, and Seine and Oise. A decree
follows, effecting this recommendation.
An imperial decree of July 2 nominates M. Be-
lurgey de Granville, prefect of the Lozere, to be pre-
fect of the Aube, in the place of M. Collet-Meygret,
appointed director of general surety, and M. 'envier
de la Matte, sub-prefect of St. Etienne, to take
the place lett vacant in the Lozere ; also M.
d'Andigne, sub-prefect of Peronne, to be prefect of
the Charente, vice M. Riviere, who retires on a
pension.

A considerable advance towards recovering free
the late panic was made at the Bourse to-day; at the
termination of business all descriptions of stock
having materially improved in price, the Four-and-
a-Half per Cents. for the account to the extent of
more than 1 per cent.; for money the Three per

25c.; whilst for the end of the month the improve-
ment was 60e. in the Three per Cents., and If. sc. in
the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. No change occurred
in Bank of France shares. Closing prices:—For
