SPAIN.

MADRID, MARCH 25.

The Queen has ordered the Infant Mon Henry to
leave Salamanca immediately for France. The
reason for this measure is that the prince haft openly
taken part in the elections as a partisan of the
progressistm.
The governor of Ciudad-Real has been dismissed
for an indiscreet display of seal. M. Noccdal, the
Minister of the Interior, was a candidate fur the
representation of this district. His opponent was
the Count de Caneda. The governor, thinking to
curry favour with the Minister, arrested the Count,
together with some of the most influential electors,
and sent them out of Ciudad-Heal. This mode of
serving the cause of "order" was a little too
strong for M. Nocedul's stomach. The moment the
news reached him he called a council of ministers, in
which he moved and carried a resolution for the dis-
missal of the governor. He then sent a carriage to
Count de Caneda, and a message recommending him
to come at once to put himself at the head of the
electoral district, and announcing that he (M.
Nooedal) would withdraw from the field.

support they have revived from the elcvtora. (Hew, hear )
But that support had lava ortrunired by • body which far

somewhat different one, because I have to thank the volun-
tary effort* of the electors. I have to thank them for com-
ing forward to support me ins spirit of fairness, and with a
willingness and determination to assert the lade•

pendenco of the electoral body of this city. (Cheers.)
I have, therefore, gentlemen, to return thanks
in the first place to the gentlemen of my committee, who
came forward with their voluntary offers, leaving their
houses in some instances no doubt at considerable
loon, and emoting themselves to the utmost with a
msil and an amount of indefigigtiLle labour which no
pun lowed senicws could have procured. I have to thank
the gentleman who we,, at the head of that committee, Mr.
Ricardo, who, I am glad to see has been returned as a
member of the new parliament, though be had the misters
tune to agree with me in the House of Commons on
the China vote. I have also to thank my mover and
seconder, and all than gentlemen who exerted themselves
on ray behalf. (Hear, beer.) And I have to thank the in-
dependent Fees of the metropolis which has ges
nerally taken my part—l speak not of the servas
part of the press, but of that independent press which has
generally supported use upon such OCC.IOIIA, (loud cheem)
and above all I have to thank that free spirit of this

metropolis—that free spirit of the cititens of La ndnn, that
hoe steed forward to support the cause of freedom of election
upon this es cession. Let me say, now, that superior
to any minor question, of extension of the suffrage, of the
ballot, or any other of those matters, important as they
are in themselves, is the maintenance of that free
spirit, that love of independence which distinguishes the
people of England, and upon, which all our institutions
and all our liberties must ultimately rest. sow,
gentlemen, let me say a word, end it shall not
be long, with regard to our future prospects.
We have hitherto had as en excuse from every
minister who happened to be in power—was my excuse

Lord Palmerston—and I think it a very Lair and just

excuse—thet trero OP finely talented in the Moues of
Commons that it was difficult to carry liberal measure. with •
sufficient majority to secure the assent of the other house of
parliament. But if it be Om, an I hope it is, that the
result of this election will be to give • large liberal
majority in the lower house; so large that the upper
house will no longer have any mason, on that ground, to
refuse the measures which way be passed by the
House of Commons, that excuse must henceforward
fall to the ground—(llar, hear)—and Lord Palmer-
ston sill have no such mason to allege for not bringing for.

with ono or two of great importance—such roes

hitherto cooled their ardour. I see some symptoms of ire.
prevenient in this respect, because this election has not
teased—the people of the rutted Kingdom would not
allow it to turn—on the temporary question of whether
Sir John Lowing was right or wrong,—the nation has had
the good sense not to allow itself to be divided between Bow-
ringites and Y (laughter)—they know that the
true distinction is between con.ervatives and re.
formers—conservatives desiring to maintain our in-
stitutions and not to improve them, and reformers desiring to
improve our institutions and at the samo tiles mime them.
Now, gentlemen, we had a symptom in the last parliament
of a email. measure-a very mull measure. It wee pro-
posed by Mr. Locke King on that subject, and we
heard nothing in the House of Commons Hi that
time but ohjecetiona to that meneure, and if
it had been a larger measure the objection would
have been stronger and more decisive. But no stoner
WIG there the question of the dissolution of parlia-
ment than it was discovered that they were in favour
of that measure, but that there were in Mr. Locke King's
bill, which they had never seen, and which, I am told, Mr.
Locke King had never communicated to them—
certain faults and defects which alone prevented them
farm voting in its favour. If that bo the case, they will
have an opportunity, if they are in the nee
parliament, to bring in new meaeures of their
own in which they can put all the guards and securitise
which they desire, in which they can insert all the
guards and securities which I inserted in • bill
which I introduced two years ago, and then no doubt thq
can carry it through both houses of perlintnent. It is in die
way that this dissolution of parliament will prove to be redly
of use to this country. I trust, as I have formerly said, to era
the Wilke of religtous liberty completed. I trust to ass
five trade completed by the abolition of some °bunks
duties. I trust that, by economy and retrenctunint,
shall be able to imam those atklitional duties as
sugar and ten, which tend so much to diminish the enjoy-
meat of the people. (Cheers.) I trust, likewise, that by
extending the franchiseto the enlightened and the respectable,
tlichoncet clanger of thecountry which havenot hithertohsdthe
benefit of exercising the franchise, that we may extend still
farther the basis of our representation and give an additional
security to our buditutions. (Cheers.) Suck I treat may be the
result of this. dissolution. The good sense of the nation has
seen the advantage which might be taken of it, haw
ing • new parliament, fresh from conimuricating
with the people at large. I trust you will
Pee in future supported by the four members for the
City of London measurer of economy, measures
of reform, measures conducive to the prosperity
of this groat empire. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, agent
I thank you for the honour you hove done me. I have
been expuked for some years to much obloquy, to much
mierepromentettion, to much iniseomeruction of my
motives, but whatever I hove suffered in this respect, the
gencroue niannie in which you have come forward to sup-
port use afford. me full compensation. (Cheers.)
Mr. Cn.twrmnu next presented himeelf. He thanked
them gratefully for the reeponee they had made to
the appeal addressed to them in his behalf, and
for having recorded nearly 6,000 voter in his
favor. (Hoar, hear.) He was indebted to the position he held
not only to the great liberal principle. whirl he advocatobbett
also to the large body of his fellow eitixens, who recognised
in him as a merchant a Starve to represent them
in parliament. (Hear, bear.) He did not come
