THE "EXPRESS" AHD THE

his best to import
J. H. ELLIOTT a
el the City of
be is alike
palsy of Lord -
-I.4ll•Tions policy of Lord DENNY." As far as we
off ether his antecedents from his address, Mr.
Ituactri most be one of those ill-fated personages
who were garotted two or three winters book. His
especial complaint is that " civil liberty is imper-
" feet," and in proof of this statement he asserts
that " men's persons and lives are exposed to
"utmost peril to please the oonosits of humane
" ladies had gentlemen ; " that " ruffians and
burglars must not be shot at though appearing
" infiegranta delioto," but " are put into retreat,
" ceased, doctored, made warm and fat, and re-
" forined—thse is, made docile and cunning,
" and then• licensed to renew their triode with
" a ticket-of-leave." Unfortunately, too, while
civil liberty is thus imperfect, religious
liberty goes to the opposite extreme,
sod "is licentious indeed," since "priests are
"tolerated and even paid by the State." The
only remedy for these evils reams to be to autho-
rize the immediate shooting of any one who, in the
OESCEICIII of the person firing the shot, shall be either
a ruffian, a burglar, or a priest. In this manner
everyone who is socially, morally, or theologically
offensive will be speedily disposed of. We really
do sot see how the constituency can possibly
disregard the solemn warning with which Mr.
Burorr concludes :—" The coming election
" will prove whether you will place in Parliament
" one who will respect the nation's safety, which
" (quiet though things seem) is in more danger
" than when the First NAPOLEON had his fleet of
" boats off Boulogne." Of course, as party jour-
nalists we are pledged to support the Liberal can-
didates for the City, but if the choice is to lie
between any of the other three, our good wishes go
with Mr. ELLIOTT. He is evidently eccentric, and
possibly amusing ; Messrs. Lrzr.r. and Fowxsz are
probably sane, but certainly

deans will imiesdiately take plaor; and I beg to solicit
from you a renewal of that omildenee with which you have
honoured me during seven successive parliaments. If I
wore addressing you for the firth time it might be seem-
nary for me to dilate upon the future ; but I think I may
with propriety found my appeal for the continuance of your
favour upon a reference to the past, and to the results
of the course pursed by the government of whisk. I
daring the last six yaws I have had the honour of bring a
member. Daring those six years, notwithstanding the
heavy pressure of three bad seasons on Ireland, and the
severe distress which prevailed in some of the manufactar-
• lag &Arida, in ocasequenee of the peat diminution of the
supply of cotton from North America, the United Kin..
does, a whole, has eejeyed a remarkable degree of pee*
perrive peceperity ; pease has been preserved with fordo
natioss mid this county be bees exempt from the smilers
and ratios' which within that period other sentries
have been required to Teske. Additional freed.. bas
been given to the employment of capital and to the
exercise of productive industry. Trade with foreign °Pas-
tries has bees relieved from many obstructions, while new
and important chamois of commerce have been opened is
distant tarts el the globe. The result has been that the
wealth of **United Kingdom has vapidly increased, sad,
though great redactions of taxation have been made, and

the public revenue ban always been sufficient to pro" 1
Yidli for the public expenditure, and to maintain
is efficiency those national defences, naval and,
military, which are to every triunity among the best'
securities for peace. The present time is remarkable for
the progressive application of the remits of science to the
operations of war both by sea end by land, sod this country
him aot in snob matters lagged behind the other great
powers of the world. Nor has our colonial administration
hese law suareelf id. The population of our North Ameri-
can provinces are devotedly loyal and attached to cones:La
with this country ; sod India, no longer the scene of insur-
rection and rebellion, is making rapid strides in civilisation
sod general prosperity. But the six Teen' period In these
respects so happy was doomed to witness a calamity
which plunged the whole nation into grief ; sod while the
lose of the Prime Consort will for ever be recorded among
the great domestic misfortune* of the country, the univer-
sal sorrow which that ices ocaudoced will at laid testify
that the nation duly appreciated the high and admirable
qualities of the prince whom they mourn. On the other
heed, a bright gleam of hope for the future bas cheered
the Lad by the fortunate aid happy marriage of the
Priem of Wales and the birth of two royal priers.
How long the ministry of which 1 have the
honour to be a member may continue to direst
the affairs of this great nation must depend upon the
will of the parliament now about to be elected ; but I
think I may be allowed to say for myself and my colleagues'
that a jest judgment of cur pest administration will entitle
us to the same measure of goodwill which has been extended
to us by the parliament now dissolved. In the meantime
I spin repeotfoily sad earnestly solicit from you a continu-
um of that confidence which for so many years has been
to me a proud and honourable distinction.-1 have the
honour to be gentlemen, your most obliged and obedient
servant, " Ethszaisros.
