ME. DISRAELI ON ELECTION PROSPECTS.

After the nomination for Bucks, the three

sewly-elected ascalers, Mr. Disraeli. Mr. Du Pre, and Mr.
Harvey, dined with • large number of their supporter. at
the George Hotel, Aylesbury. Mr. T. T. Daus, of
tilharddoes, occupied the ehair, and in • humorous speech
proposed the he•lth of the three members, alluding to the
sponsorship he had menised on behalf of Mr. Do Pre.

Kr. Dr.tegt.i, who was vociferously cheered, said—Ges-
tlemm,—ln responding to the claim of fatherhood whisk tt
bas been urged by my excellent friend. I am bound to say M
that he has shown himself In one respect an excellent LI
parent, for he has uniformly given me his support. (Cheer.)
I cannot rupee's—(it would be oat of the power of language
to do so)—the gratification I feel in being, I may Nay with g
my friend/dr. Du Pre for the seveeth time, returned as mem- II
bar for the county of Buckingham. Them are greet events TI
in the life of anybody, and Ido not think that many men II
have had so good reason to congratulate themselves 14
on the good opinion of our neighbours as /dr. Du Pre II
and myself. As the same time, it is an honour, great as it ri
is, which lon my part will labour to merit. Gentlemes,
you may perhaps, after what has passed to-day, think that
it is possible to have too mach of • goad thing, or perhaps
I should say too much of • bad thing. Bat I may say, as
fez as I can yet go, that the result of the appeal to the I
country will be to accomplish that which was contemplated
—namely, that there will be no reduction in the power of I
that great conservative party which certainly has prevented
the party at present in power from carrying into effect I
those measures the accomplishment of which was the
condition on which they came into office. I say that
is the most moderate estimate that can be formed of the II
result of this appeal to the oonatry. On this result I may I
congratulate you that no great public danger is to be fume&
lam sum that, as in the last Do in the present parliament, 1,1
there will be a predominance of conservative feeling, if not '
an absolute numerical majority. (Cheer.) But if the
position of the party be such as no doubt it will be, if • I
parliament be retuned with a deeded conservative feeling.
you may rest mewed that no attack can be attempted
with any success on thaw institutions which from con-
viction we are resolved to uphold, bat that ere long,
and possibly before any considerable time has elapsed, the
opinions which govern the country will be upheld in that
oonatitutiosal and responsible form in which we hold they
ought to be. For there can be nothing more dangerous
than that the governmeot should be carried on by men
who profess principles contrary to those on which they
came into office. lam not about to make • party speech ;
I have oily to express my gratitude for your unchanging
ootutesies to myself, to express the satisfaction I feel in
being hem as your representative, and to assure you that on
every occasion I shall endeavour to prove that I am not
unworthy of the selection you have made. (Cheers.)

Mn, Rozzucx, M.P.—Mr. Roebuck bee grain
been returned for Sheffield, after a contest which has been
meet amusiog to everybody except himaslfasd bin opponent,
Mr. Foster. At first Mr. Roebuck treated his rival with
" supreme contempt :" then finding that he could talk as
abusively as himself feU back on his age and wounded dig-
nity. Be bad, he said, reached a great poodles), and did not
seraph to acknowledge that his "dignity was hurt at the
insolence be had experienced." " His character, and age,
and weakness" ought, be thought, to have protected
him from treatment which nevertheless everybody
e'se has experienced at his hands. The hammer,
one perceives, does not like being anvil, though
it is an " educating experience." The electors, however,
adhered to their old favourite, raising him to the top of the
pail, and Mr. Roebuck, ones more WWII, rose to his old
level, declaring that he never attacked a good man, but
"if I find •vi a, vulgar fellow, and I want to stamp him
with disapprobation and disapproval, the English longings
supplies me with apt words for that purpose," 'as indeed it
also supplies bargees, and bodraso, and cabbies, and other
persoos distinguished for plaiosewe of speech. We are not
oo the whole much disposed to congratulate the Hones of
Commons on Mr. Roebuck's wooer. It takes vinegar
to make salad, bat then it should be made of wine, not beer.
