YOREaffilne (Witt RIDINO.—The Right Hon. ,
J. Stuart Wortley has issued an address, in whielas rye :
" In going to the Howe of Commons as theeepsesentative
of des West Riding, I shall do so in • sake, dent
character, bat with the determination of supporftg the
government of the Queen. The country requires-sad wiahr
to see strength given to a constitutional execustive, to deal
efficiently with the difficult and important question of the
future representation of the people, as also to etons
tan the honour and influence of England in
the present critical state of Europe, and to secure ,
the inestimable advantages of continued peace. In the
scans of the late debate I voted with the government,
extending for a settlement of the question of parliamentary I,
reform in the present seestoo, but exprersing the opinion at
the sues time that no settlement of that question would be
esseptable to the country or enduring in its &arson, which
did sot extend the right of suffrage to the worthy end intel-
ligent among the industrious classes. I adhere to these
and shall be repined to sopport them
artrat tature parliament. The course Whin by en
eminent statesman far the parpote of uniting the
discordant sections of a weak and divided opposition in
the late majority was one which I could not approve, sines
its Immediate effect we. to preclude for the anion the con-
riderstioo of the great roes.ure of reform, which has sow
been oolong praise, and involved the probable consequence
of • dirolntion, which would otherwise have been =nem-
gory, and which I thought at this juncture oh.
namely inconvenient. On religious subjects I hope
I have alvsys pursued • tolerant and conciliatory
coven without sacrificing my deep conviction of the
benefit conferred on all &awe and denominations by the
• malatentreee of the national protestant church. The
inuseese development of cameras! and egrioulturel
*Welty arid wealth will have recentilled many to the course
of reeent legislation, the of eets of which cool as be oer.
Joist, foreseen, but which wee designed for them
sad my endeavours will always be to preserve the leer inter-
com's of entice* the unburdened cultivation of the soil.,
and the prosperity of ebbs, celestes, and comments"

Rased= the landed interest is fitly and worthily repainted.
Mr. Oneeley will represent the manufacturing industry;
mad it would be as inappropriate to reject • eneaufsts,
, curer for an aristocratic lawyer, as to reject at this
mils a decided reformer for an anti-reformer or •
waverer. No condemnation can be tea emphatic for
the West Riding to pronounce on Lord Derby's wretched
Reform Bill ; and that c mdemnation would not be summed
in the return of Mr. Wortley. The language of soda •
raters would be this—' The West Riding care' nothing
fat the question—has no opinion upon it, and no Interest in
it—bat humbly desires Lord Darby to cut and cave
the Siam ea he plesses—to dithasoblas Woe thousand
, of its freeholders—to exclude from the oonstittancy
, all its large towns--to disregard the anima of all its working
men—to make as many votes as be pFesees oat of its great
loaded properties—to accommodate riots men who wish to
use nun& influents by voting papers; and toe all these par-
r poses they send as their fitting member the Ritht Hon.
