THE TIPRESS,

of Oho Homo of Ooomora who, al aa orator sad

a man of great warp sod determination, Is sexed
to no we. Mr. Bright tells us with the 'noted
teatime aid clearriess what his particular opinions are, sad
what is the policy which be en rely thinks the country
ought to porno, but which, if the present administaitios
cestinues a little logger in power, will ultimately be per-
used. He sever cononals hie objects ;be wants to chaste
the Mauro of lead in this country. Why, the Locum of
Lad is the viW principle of society, sad from that our
lasktution hare drawn their specific character. Mr.
Bright tells us, " lam opposed to ecolseiastical instits-
' times, and I hope to see the day when they shall be put
as end to." Mr. /Might is opposed to the hew of
primogeniture, be holds it to be the duty of ea
Hagfish ministry to effect the complete • =Mei pation of
its land of Eaglaod from the laws which govern it. Kt
Bright never conceals his opioioes. His opinions, °Deceived
! la conscience, will be propagated with energy, and 111000 r
mended by unrivaled eloquence. It is perfectly absurd for
small paitiriana, who perhaps bold small pleas seder
'overeaten, to tell es that clarion are not afloat which, if
adopted, would effect very great cbs•gae, and, is my mind
—sot to misuse terms, but 'mann myself of the saturate
term—would effect a revolution in this country. Observe the
position of Mr. Bright. Mr. Bright is the last parliament was
• isolated. He never had any men of very great character
or inoence who sympathised with him, except Mr. Cub-
an). Mr. Cobden, partly from hie health end partly from
the different character of his mind, acted rather as a died
en Mr. Bright. Hs rather mitigated the expenders of Mr.
Height's opinions than encouraged him to espress those
*pin= with boldness, and to act on them when expressed.
Bat Mr. Bright, now, is surrounded in the present House
of Oommoos by • considerable body of members,
men of talent, energy, and eloquence, w►ich will
make him a very considerable power. Do you
think that any government, because it calls Itself
liberal, en keep Mr. Bright, the head of such a
party, like a servant in the p retry or waiting in the hall,
while they are on the Tanury beaches and Is phees of
authority? It is; quite impossible—they are • party who
no doubt, whether we look to their ocavielloos, their West;
theizeloqueoes, 'harm:gain degree of supporta the couetry,
roust be recognised in the course of sense, and it would
be blindness on the part of the conservative party
for one moment to accept the opinions that are now
circulated, and which it would be csnasoient to the govern-
meet if everybody would accept, that there is so one who
wishes to assail the institutions of the country, or who
looks to anything other than the skilful administration of
ear finalises and the preservation of peace. It is, lam con.
adept, from the instinct which Englishmen have that there
is danger of this kind ahead, that we have this large con.
servative opposition elected to parliament. And if, when
parliament mesta,we find the oppositioe numerically scareely
less, and which practically and for real bunions is
far better combined, I think we should be yield.
nog to • panic for which there is no foundation
if we were to enteral/1 for • moment the opinion that the
power and influence of the conservative jowly in this
country are diminished by the elections. On the contrary,
I my it has been increased and confirmed, and that, consi-
dering the circumstances under which the elections bike
place, we have gone through the trial with uudimiaished
energy and marvellous resouras. (Chars.) Well, petlenass,
looking to the future, I cannot for a moment but believe
that it is a accessary consequence of the present position of
affairs that you will have in due time a conservative
government, and • conservative goverment to whom the
destinies of thin country will be committed foe • long
time. Bat you never can have a con t.ve government,
you sever am secure the inatinitiose of this country un-
hurt, miler you maintain that spirit which animates all
is this room, and which haareturued three members for the
county of Buckingham of conservative opinion., at a
mousse, when an unscrupulous government was assaulting
and attacking every *suety io England. It is the spirit that
has animated you which will maintain oar iesUtutions and
save the country. (Cheers.) That is the moral of
the late elections. Gentlemen, I will not detain
you further. I came to thank you for your kind-
sees in inviting me to he year guest today, and to
celebrate what I think is • very great triumph, the
return of three conservative members for this great and
undivided conservative county. But I could not neglect
the opportunity of pu•.ting before you the real state of
facts. The result of these eleotioas to the conservative
party is one which might to make them proud. If we had
obtained a small alma, of numbers we might have ob.
Wised thegoverument of the country, but we could not have
maintained it without a decided majority. The government
have gained, they say 15--they may have gabled 20 seats.
Well, there were measly that number of gentlemen prefer
slog oonservative principles who sever supported bat always
opposed • conservative policy. Almost every individual a
that bend has disappeared from the House of Commons.
They have been replaced by true liberals, and that is •
practical result which I rejoice in and approve of. It le
my opinion, formed without prejudice end with coolness
and calamine, that when parliament meets and is properly
settled lite shape, there will be a conservative party
eats' thoroughly is unison, not inferior is numbers
to that which, is the l.te Parliament, certainly by the ad.
minion of all parties, exercised a most important cootrol
over the conduct of the Government. That, I believe, in a
state of things which ought to encourage all those who are
endeavouring to preserve the constitution in church and
state, earl I am sure that if the spirit which animates this
county be maintaleed no danger to the inetitutio•• which
we love sad venerate can ever occur. (Loud cheers.)
Mr. 8.. BILTEION Baster, the jonioe member, also
returned thanks.

The health of the Duke of Buekiegham was afterwards
gives and responded to, and the usembly shortly after-
wards broke up.

TBE PROPOSED REMOVAL OF THE GREAT WESTERN
RAILWAY WORKS TO OXFORD.—Notr,ithrtasdirg the
annouociemeut that the direet,rs of the Cheat Western
Railway had come to the conclusion to transfer their car-
riage works from Paddington to Oxford, independently of
the strong opposition made to such transfer by the vote of
the uoirenity in convocation, it appear/ that the transfer
is not yet au accomplished fact. Too Oxford Local Board
of Health (which hr/ roily obtained powers under so act of
the parliament just pared) met yesterday, when Dr.
Rolhatoo, Liescie Professor of Phyirology, celled atten-
tion
to the %flux of inhabitant' which the trausfer of the
works to Oxford wool] tiecessitate, and asked whether the
site selected for the works, and the immediate neighbour-
hood where residences would have to be built, would be
prejudicial to health, and he wished to know whether the I
hosed, if his premises were correct, had any power to pre.
met the erection of houses on sites pronounced to be unfit
for human habttetion. The clerk replied that they bad no
each powers, but 'Wed that bye-lows giriog those powers
might be made. Mr. C. Neate, M.P., said he thought it
was well the board should • mow that one of the reasons
urged upon the directors of the railway mummy to iodise*
them to bring their works to Oxford was, that the city
were to obtain full powers by the Load Governmest Act,
and if II were to be brought to the directors' notice that
the city shrank frees that act they would be giving them
the best possible ressoe—if they wished for an excuse—for
not transferring their works to Oxford. The Warden of
New College (Dr. Sewell), Dr. Jackson. tee., took
pert Is the diocesan* ; it being contended that the
site selected for the dwellings and the works was,
when properly drained, of the most eligible descrip.
tins, and it wee further added upon authority that
St. Johis College was prepared to offer leasehold pro-
perty contiguous to the works for the emotion of houses,
highly advantageous is a sanitary poiut of view. Ulti-
minty it was resolved that the question of framing bye-
laws be referred to a committee.
