MIDDLESEX.
IP. LADOI:MIXRE LID LORD ESYIELD.

Yesterday afternoon a meeting of gentlemen
interested in the success of the liberal cause in the county
et Middlesex was held at the Town-hall, Brentford. The
meeting waft to some extent of a private character, being
confined to those gentlemen who had previously formed
themselves into a committee for the purpose of securing
the return of two liberal candidates. The circom-tanees
under which it was called are fully detailed in the state-
ments given below.
Mr. C. CROSB occulied the chair, end in opening the
proceedings stated that the committee was formed with-
out any instructions from either candidate, solely in the
interest of the liberal cause. It wax only within the last
few days that they had learnt that the two liberal
eandidates were not united : but from Lord En-
lie!d'S statement in that hall they had reason
to believe that. although politically there was the greatest
-eordialdy between the two liberal candidate..., they dif-
fered in the details and the mode of conducting the elec-
tion. They had tried every means they could devise to
bring the two camlidatee together, feanng that if they
-were not united there was considerable danger of a con-
servative being returned. On Tuesday morning an a.'lver.
thement appeared announcing that the interests of Lord
I,.nbeld and /dr. Lalemehere were united, and up to the '
*afternoon of that day the present committee expected to
motive explicit instructions how to set, but none being
forthcoming they sent messengers to both candidates
asking for some explanation. In the evening they
received information that all likelihood of the
two liberal candidates uniting their interest was at
an end. After the meeting he himself went to Loudon,
and saw Lord Enfield; and the following morning he had
an interview with Mr. Labonchere and several members
of the liberal party, and from what transpired it appeared
that all hope of a coalition at present was at an end. In-
asmuch vi Mr. Labouchere had given up his agent, and
bad no organisation whatever at work in the county, it
.• was deemed advisable that the committee at Brentford,
%which was the county town, should invite Lord Enfield
ad Mr. Labouchere to meet them, in order that such ex-
pl 'mations might be mutually tendered, and such a course
ce, action be determined upon, as would result in securing
!ha return of two liberals. Mr. Labouchere had responded
to eh at invitation, and was present; but Lord Enfield had
deog, •ed to come in the following terns :

mittee the following announcement :—" Lord Enfield

tion."

approaches the contest grows hotter, and the excitement
more interne. Captain Brinkman. the liberal, Mr.
Butler-Johnstone, the independent, and Means. Huddle-
trone and Lee Warner, the immervative candidates, have
each addressed several meetings of the electors in diffe-
rent parts of the town during the last few days. From the
number of promises given to Captain Brinkman and from
the enthusiastic reception he has met with his election is
no longer doubtful ; and Mr. Butler-Johnstone's friends,
by combining with the liberals, are sanguine of defeating
the conservative candidates.
CRELSRA.—The two liberal candidates—Mr.
Wentworth Dike and Sir Henry Hoare—last night ad-
dressed a public meeting in the " Windsor Castle,' Ham-
mersmith. The large room was crowded to excels, a great

Beal was kin the chair. A resolution pledging the meet-
ing to support the two liberal candidates was proposed by

they sent to parliament, they would not leave out Mr.
Torrens. A vote of confidence in the alderman was
carried unanimously„
GREENWICH.—The nomination will take place
on Monday, and the election on the following tiny. The
liberal party are firmly united in favour of Alderman
Salomon' and Mr. Gladstone, and a good organization
exists to secure their return. The conservative candidates,
Lord Mahon and Sir Henry Parker, have but little chance
of success, although it is Wasted that the number of
promisee on their behalf far exceeds expectation, and
fully warrants them in oing to the poll.
HEREFORth—liir. Ernest Scott Jervis, the third
liberal candidate for this city, has now formally retired
from the conte-t, as he does not wish to divide the liberal
interest. Messrs. Clive and Wyllie will, therefore, receive

out doubt, be returned to parliament. Mr. Jervis had not
the remotest chance, and he has acted wisely in with-
drawing from a worse than ii,eless contest.

the electors, amongst a miumity of whom some diessatisfac-
Cue exited at ire dual candidature. Thin, however, is re-
moved by a telegram received yesterday from his Oxford
committee, stating that his nomsnatiou was withdrawn.
Soul!! WAHWlllnlillitE.—Arclideaccnt Sandford
was in the chair at a great liberal meeting held at Lea-
mington on Wednesday night, and in opening the heehaw
of the meeting drew a contrast between the leaders of the
two great political parties. lie said the liberal candidates
for South Warwickshire, Lord Hyde and Sir it. Hamilton,
would ably support the policy of the man whom the esigen-
Cie, of the country and the world required at this crisis of
unexampled difficulty and impedance —the man whom the
British people wished to he the director of public affairs--
• statesman who had earned his own proud position by his
unblemished character, treinceudent abilities, and undy-
ing fiatriot isni--William Ewart Gladstone. Comparing hem
with Mr. Disraeli, the archdeacon observed that the one
was distrusted by the very men whom he bad undertaken
to educate and to lead by devious and dirty paths to their
political extinction as a party ; the other man was, im-
plicitly trusted and beloved by his own friends, awl no
candidate soliciting the popeha vote refused to acknow-
ledge him as his chief. The inscrutable physiognomy,
adroit inanauvres, slippery policy, and elastic pnuciples
of Mr. Disraeli might excite amazement, but the Premier
of England should be too sineere to be mysterious, too
much in earnest to be phlegmatic, and too confident in
the justice and integrity of his Gauss to mask his
tactics. Gladstoue's course was as straightforward
as the flight of an arrow, while that of Dis-
raeli resembled the coils of • serpent. The archdeacon next
rebutted Sir J. Pakingtea's statement at Dretwiels, that
Mr. Madame was alone in powers of tergiversation. Sir
John was a connoisseur in this matter, after the wonder-
ful acrobatic evolution he and his colleagues performed iu
the famous Osten minutes." Sir John ones add to him,
'peaking of Mr. Glalstoise, "You call that man •
churchman !" reply was Jelin, the differemie
between Mr. Gladstone 's view of the, church and the view
entertained by your party is, that they have for long
years supported the church as a political eugiue, to the
great evil of the church, but Mr. Gladstone supports it
as a divine institution," Could there (he asked) be a
