oteaa. tad who wield Manna Ora Is parliament ?
Like esneed pearls Woo saisgisi the wee into the
°Oar@ seam, led the aims of hie own. In
the Louden they wrote of " rarest malignant.,"
he had observations below to the effect that he
was a " religious bigot." If to think his own religion
nett sad others wrong was to be a bigot, then he was a
bigot. He thought the Roman catholic wrong, and the
Boman catholic thought him wrung; but whilst he would
sand up for his own rights, he would equally advocate
tie enhts of the Roman catholics. He bed supported the
grandee of the Roman catholic claims; but while he would
oppose the endowment of the Romeo catholic religion in
Island, he would also oppose the endowment of bishops
in our colonies. And it must be borne in mind, that whether
himself or Mr. Denison were the choose of the constituency,
Yorkshire had already spoken out against all religious en
dcwment of the Roman catholic*. (Hear.) He use not
anxious foe any privileges to his own religion that he
would net concede to others. He eppesied to the landed
gentry and leading whigs of the Riding to do their duty
on tots occasion by voting for him; for if they ,
did not they would be whist* no longer, what- ,
ever they might have been hitherto, and hereafter
they would be looked down upon. With regard to the
franchise, he bad nothing to conceal. He had had the mis-
fortune to reprise nt Pontefract, when he paid for it.
(Laughter.) He had been a candidate when some 140
voters supported him without being paid for it. He
then proceeded to say that the extension of the suf-
frage should be scrompanied by the ballot and larger elec-
toral districts. He believed that the proceedings on the
continent had been brought about by the want of extended I
suffrage. (A man in the crowd exclaimed, " I should be
glad to see a republic ben.") Sir Culling said he believed
that was not the orinion of the people neurally, and that,
if the people were polled out, the would declare their
attachment to their Queen. (Hear.) But, though
he was In favour of proem, be did not mean French pro-
gress, though he and his friend, Mr. Denison, stood side by
side, like General Cavaignec and Prince Louis Napoleon.-1
(Laughter.)
Mt. Dxxisox.—l hope lam not like either. (A laugh.)
Sir Cloture° R. BAHDLEY hoped that he else was not like
either ; but he wished matters to be so arranged here, that I
when the election was over they should not be obliged to go
to fisticuffs to overturn the result. To return to his subject :
Though he was in favour of a municipal suffrage, which,
in the borough of Leeds for instance, would increase the
number of parliamentary electors from 6,000 to 15,000,
he would not conceal from them that he was opposed to uni-
cereal suffrage. He was in favour of economy and retrench. ;
ment, and thought it high time that various matters were
looked after, especially as to the large salaries that were ,
paid. For instance, be believed that the British ambassador ^
at Par's had nearly four times the allowance that the am-
bassador of the French republic in London had. He was
opposed to large quantities of land being kept in had by
the Commissioners of Land Revenue, as he thought it could
not be as scougniully worked by the owner es by tenants.
Mr. Dmenote—And for that reason I have none.
Sir C. BARDLEY hoped that if Mr. Denison should be
their choice, he would carry that principle into effect in the
Houle of Commas. He wished to have an efficient army
for the protection of our national interests, but he thought
that after thirty years of peace the army was larger than It
ought to he, and that it was not nee...eery to keep up a large
force front fear of foreign invasion. As the Pope had bean
obliged to run away from Rome, there was no fear of '
an invasion by him; and as the French national
guard, hod come over to fraternise with us, and the com-
pliment was about to be returned by &inland, there
was no need to apprehend invasion from France. Sir
Culling repeated his adhesion to the principles of free
trade, which be was prepared to carry out thoroughly.
German cutlery competed with that of Sheffield ; and he
would have Brazilian sugar to competewith that of Jamaica;
and though he hated slavery as much as any rose, be did not
think that the way to put it down was to make Englishmen
ray more for their sugars than others. Upon the same prin-
ciple he would allow tnreign produce to be imported on the
same terms in foreign bottoms as in British ship.. Sir Culling
concluded by saying that he would be glad to answer any
question that might to put after Mr. Denison had c' nduded.
Col. TIMPINT then introduced Mr. Denison. He was a
native of the county, a friend of the constitution, and he
would be ready to preserve their rights, and the integrity of
the empire.
Mr. DENISON said he wee once more a candidate for their
representation, and he was there to tell them what he would
do if returned ; and it would be their fault if they did not
find out before they parted what he would not do. He
would promise them two things—gnat, that he would give a
distinct answer to every question intelligibly put; and,
sound, that he would give them an opportunity of
recording their opinions at the poll. As to free
trade, he believed that a thorough free trader would
,weep
oorff all duties
.imp7V...,a)rtiolss, man
A gentlemen
on his left said " no," but he must say that, to that extent
he was not prepared go; he was not a free-trader to that
extent ; but when last in parliament he had supported the
reduction of duties on imported articles to the extent of six
or seven millions. And he was yet prepared to go with the
Chancellor of the Exchequer in repealing duties, whether
sugar, tea, tobacco, or anything else, so long as he could
emus hint that the remaining duties would produce sufficient
become to meet the claims of the national creditors. (Remo"
donee( dissent.) He waseorry to hear that intimation, because
it -bowed that there were fewer honest men in the world
than he bad believed. For he would say, let the result be
what it might, let them elect him or not, that the man who
would not pay the interest of the national debt was a dis-
honest man. If they did not do that, there would be no in-
terest for their deposits in the savings banks; and it would
lead to a dark day in Bradford when such opinions were to
prevail. He would take the burdens off the shoulders of the
working dusts as for as he could, but ho would not promise
them to do that which he was determined not to do.
(Hear.) As to the corn lain, they were aware that
he ha I opposed their repeal; but having been in a
minority on thatekuestfen, now that they were repealed, he
bowed to the decision ; and looking to what had since oc-
curred on the continent, he was glad that they had been re-
pealoi. He was, like his hon. opponent in favour of eco-
nomy end retrenchment, and if he went to parliament
instead of his hon.opponent,Sir C. &teensy—and which, with
all respect, he believed he should (laughter)—he should be
ready to support all proper reductions. He had no motive
to keep up either large salaries or en unnecessary number of
clerks. Only lest week, as chairman of the Great Northern
Railway, he had proposed a reduction of salaries of all
the staff, and he had for soma years been a
member of the Finance Committee for regulating
the expenditure of the county rate of the riding, and a con-
siderable suing had been effected in that expenditure,
though he had not been a very active member of hoe. He
was opposed, from EO.llCialltiOUS 1110tivel, to the endowment
of the Lan catholic
clergy In Ireland; but he deemed
bishops to be as necessary in oar colonies as they were at
home. He was in favour of the general education of the
people. (" We want secular and not religious education.")
He would tell the man who said so that an ounce of reli-
gious education was worth a bucketful of secular edu-
cation. He was in favour of religious education;
and if that man's children were religiously edu-
cated, they would be better men than their father.
(" The suffrage.") He would tell them at ones that he was
not disposed to extend the suffrage at all. (Groans.) If
they wanted to extend the suffrage they must pat their
money into the lungs bank till they had accumulated suf.
ficient to buy a qualification. (Disapprobation and cheers.)
Mr. COPLEY asked if the candidates were prepared to re-
sist all further endowments of any party ; and, at the most
opportune moment, to abolish all state endowments ?
Sir CULLING EuRDLEY said he would object to all fur-
ther endowments ; but he did not think the time was come j
for an alteration of the existing endowment' of religion. The
word " opportune" was relied on. He would not have two
religions endowed ; but, u the Russians said, " Burn
Moscow, rather than give shelter to two armies," he would
abolish the endowment of both religions rather than endow
another.
Mr. Deensox said bewould not oppose further religious en-
dowments, as he bad raid he would sanction additional bishops
in our colonies, and he would not support the separation of
church and state.
Mr. COPLEY—MiII you abolish the civil disabilities of the
Jews?
Sr C. EARDLEYI will support such a proposition.
Mr. DENISON—I will not pledge myself to do so.
Mr. COPLEY asked if the undidetes would support a no-
tonal poor rate, and that those who paid the rates should
elect those who expend than ?
Sir C. PAROLEE did not think that a national poor rate
might be the best, butwas prepared to look into the question.
Mr. Dexistat was not prepared to vote for such a proposi-
tion, for there would be many hands dipping into the es-
tional puree and few to take care of it. Let them ap.
point a trustee when they could do the work themselves
Mr. COPLEY said he did not wish the appointment of a
trustee, but that the land should bear its share of the hurtles'
of the poor.
SIR CULLING EARDLEY AND MR. DENISON Mr. DENISON said that the land bore a great deal of the

tan police, whieb stated that a person named J. B. Rush had
made his serape from Wyrnondham, suspected of haring com-
mitted the murder at Stanfield Hall, the residence of the late
I. Jeremy, Esq. The despstchstatedthat the suspected party
wu travelling on the Eastern Counties Railway, and steps
were to be taken to apprehend him immediately. Hs is de-
scribed as being of " dark complexion, rather stout made,
6 feet 7 inches high, and stoops when walking." The mo
ment the news arrived in town the commissioners issued co-
pies of the despatch, which were sent to every police station-
house in the metropolis, and from thence to the country
police depots. The same were read over to the men before
they went on duty yesterday morning, with instructions to
the constables that they were to keep a good look-out for
the suspected murderer.
These precautions were, as it now appears, unnecessary,
Rush having been apprehended at his own house.
Stanfield Hall, the scene of the murder, is said to have
been the birthplace of Amy Robsert, the heroine of Sir
Walter Scott's ••• Kenilworth."

would not allow his personal friend, the Rev. James Shore,
to leave the church and become a dissenter, and was punish-
ing him through the ecelseisatical court.
Mr. Dasuume thought that it was very hard upon Mr.

why he should vote for the abolition of ecclesiuticel courts.

on tea.

Sir Crturro EARDLBY said that Mr. Denison agreed with
Mr. Fraser that free trade meant no duties; but that was
not his meaning. He would not take off duties that could
not be spared to meet the requirements of the nation ; but he
would equalire duties. He would not let Indian-grown tea
come in at less duty than China tea ; but he would not make
a fool of them by telling them that he was for abolishing all
import duties. He thought they ought to be regulated upon
a principle of equality, and no preference for the produce of
one country over another.
Mr. DENISON mail he had male the discovery that free
trade did not mean a trade without duty. It seemed that
after all there was not so much difference between them, for
he was also for having a duty on imported articles. He
would vote for a reduction of the duty on tea it the Chancel-
lor of the Exchequer could spare it, for he had no with to
pay 7s. a pound for tea if he could get it for be. a pound.
Mr. FliA2llll asked, was Sir Culling in favour of trade
being free as the air they breathed ?
Sir CULLING EARDLIY said, No, I am not ; I have just
said NO, _ _

Mr. Fraser wu proceeding with some observations when
oar report wu despatched, the meeting evidently then be-
aming very impatient.

SALE OP SKETCHES AND DRAWINGS BY THE
LATI R. B. HATDOW.—lrecterday the collection of chalk
drawings, mentioned in this paper on Wednesday, number-
ing more than 1,500 specimens, was put up in 60 lots., at
Robins's Rooms, Covent-garden, the preceeds to be devoted
to the assistance of his family. The most remarkable imma
were—Sketches of the Duke of Wellington, sold for 11. 15s. ;
finished heads of Lords Melbourne, Stanley, Orgy, Althorp,
and Sir P. Barton, 21. 74. ; Lord John Rumen, 21. 10s. ;
Mr. blunts, M.P., 11.61. ; uuSnished sketches of the Duke
of Sussex, D. O'Connell, and Wordsworth, 11. 124. ; the
celebrated Sleeping Head exhibited in 1822, said to be a
panting of Mrs. Hayden, 6 guiners k Napoleon and hat, for
Sir R. Peel's picture, from the veritable chapeau worn by
the Emperor, in the possession of Sir M. S. Stuart, 94. ; the
Duke of Wellington and his Hone, I guinea ; the cartoon
representing Queen Philippa pleading for the citizens of
Calais, 1 guinea ; the unfinished gallery painting, Uriel
and Satan, on which he was engaged at the moment when
he committed suicide, 41. The entire produce of the oak
was about 531.

THE MENDELSSOIINSCIIOLtERHIPL—Aa a monu-
ment to the memory of this i'lustrious and lamented mu-
sician, it is in contemplation to f, quad, in the Musical Con-
servatory of Leipsie, acholarships to bear his name, for
students of all nations, as • recognition of musical genius and
exemplary conduct. The plan originated at Leipsie, under
the sanction of the King of Saxony, and has received the
zealous co.opeiation of Mendelssohn's friends and admirers
in England. In July last a committee was formed in
London, consisting of several distinguished artiste and
amateurs, and having Sir George Smart fir their
chairman. This committee have arranged a per-
formance of " Elijah," to take place at Exeter Hall
on the 15th of December, in aid of the proposed object. The
arrangement has been made with the full concurrence of
Mdlle. Jenny Lied, who has with her usual generosity
offered her gratuitous services ; and the committee have ?s-
-alved the meat cordial cooperation front the Sacred Har-
monic Society, and from the members of Mr. Mullah's
upper schools. The performance is to be conducted by M.
Benedict, and will be on the most magnificent scale. We
observe that the committee have annexed to such contribu-
tions as they may be enabled to forward from
England a highly proper condition namely, that
• proportion of the scholarships of the Mandela-
yam foundation shall always be held by natives
of the United Kingdom; and that • part of the sum col-
leeted shall be deleted to the endowment of preparatory
scholarships in the conservatory of Leipsic, reserved for the
natives of the United Kingdom, to qualify them for competi-
tion for the Mendelssohn echolarshipa. Every lover of music
will look forward with much interest to the accomplishment
of a measure which, while it will do honour to the came of
Mendelssohn, is calculated to promote the advancement of
the art in this country.
Tlin ITALIAN OPERA IN PARIS.—Such is the com-
plete desertion of Paris by that class of persons who usually
compose the audience of the Italian Opera, that that theatre
has been obliged to close its doors. It wall not be re opened
for the present season, unless government ene.les it to do so
by a subvention, which, in the present state of the finances,
is not likely. This is, it is fusel, the tint time for nearly a
century that Paris has been without an Italian Theatre. The
" Academie de Mnsique " does not average a gross receipt
of so much as 2,0001. a night, its actual outgoings being more
than double that amount.

DvaLter, Nov. 30.
Yesterday two American citizens of Irish extrac-
tion, Messrs. Bergin and Ryan, were released from
Newgate. These gentlemen arriving in Ireland about
the period when the government had reason to me
prct, from the declarations of Americans themselves,
that numbers of "sympathisers" would descend on
Irish ground, became inevitable objects of suspicion ;
and, acting on the powers confided to him by law,
Lord Clarendon had both taken into custody. Their
release now is probably owing not less to the circum-
stance that there is no longer danger than to the
interposition of the American government, which last,
however, was very energetic in their behalf. Messrs.
Bergin and Ryan have received notice that they
mast leave Ireland within three weeks, or they will
again be placed in custody.
Several forgeries on the Bank of Ireland have
recently been discovered in Ireland. One of the
' forgers was arrested a few days since in Limerick.
Father Mathew has commenced a second campaign
against intemperance : a wide field of action presents
itself, if we may credit the accounts in various jour-
nals throughout the kingdom, and the records of our
metropolitan police courts. Let us hope the good
man will have the same success in the present as in
his former operations for the regeneration of his
countrymen.
The clergy of the established church have pro-
claimed a new grievance. The rate collectors under
the labour rate repayments have called upon them
for their shares of the loans granted for carrying oat
that enactment, in proportion to the amount of their
rent charges. The principle on which this claim is
founded is no doubt perfectly just, note ithstandiag it
I must press very heavily on the incumbents of small
livings, who in Ireland are at this time in as much
distress as any other class of the community.
Mr. Duffy will be transferred to the custody of the
County Sheriff to-day, preparatory to his trial on the
12th proximo.
The Xenagh Guardian of Thursday states that
there were several robberies committed and threaten-
ing notices served on the collectors of poor-rates,

THE STAMP-OFFICE department, it is said, is now taking
proceedings against certain landlords in Ireland who keep
pas books with their tenantry, in which payments are en-
tered, they not passing receipts. The system is one which is

11:01NIIVEWH, Nov. 30.
A proposal having been made to establish soup
kitchens in Edinburgh, as a preventive to cholera, an
objection was made to the plan, unless under the con-
trol of the parochial board, as otherwise Irish pau-
perism might be fostered. In defence of the objection
it was stated that, of 24,1461. raised last year in
Edinburgh as parochial assessment, 7,9751. went to
Irish paupers; and of 3,4871. raised as a special fund
for the unemployed, 2,7911. went to the same class of
persona. Highland pauperism is not one whit better.
The Glasgow section of the Destitution. Board has
18,6241. 9s. 6d. on hand ; it is rapidly diminishing,
and, after it is gone, the board has the prospect of
finding the Highlanders as destitute and helpless as
when they began their labours. Mr. Gordon, of
Cluny, has informed the section that, of 37,4071.
which he ;has drawn as the rent of Long Island for
the last nine years, he has spent 26,9831. on the im-
provement of the people.
Prison statistics are as gloomy as those of pauper-
ism. Our gaols are becoming too comfortable to be
regarded as penal establishments. A common allow-
ance to paupers in Scotland is 2s. per week ; prisoners

Anaturres.—Tbe above-named barque war lost on Monday
night last, when almost within tight of her destination.
She sailed from Cuba on the 13th of October, laden with
copper ore, for Swansea. She made Lundy, Caldy, and the

vessel struck the lower edge of the Mizell (a wel`...known
shoal a short distance off the Mumble Head). The muter
finding that the vessel would not come off, deemed i•
I expedient to get out the longboat. As the crew were cadet.

sea. The matter and rest of the crew (13 in number) then
proceeded in the longboat through the sound into
the Mumbles. Here they met the Dragon Fly, Neatb
steam-tug, the master of sedch evinced the great-
est readiness and alacrity to assist, and no tune
was lost in reaching the vessel with the view, if practi-
cable, of getting her off. On approaching the barque
It was, however, found that the sea was breaking over her,
and that the steamer could not, without imminent risk of
sacrificing the lives of all on board, get sufficiently near to be
of service. The attempt was consequently abandoned, and
the crew nude the best of their way to Swansea harbour.
The eerie' has since become a complete wreck, the whole
coast being strewed with portions of the unfortunate craft.
