of making the appoottments of bishops frost any elemre

now adverted to those political questions which are of the
greatest interest at the present day, but there remain other
subjects to which I trust the attention of the new parlia-
ment will beciarnestly directed—l mean those social questions
which ere calculated to produce the greatest effect upon the
character and welfare of the people of this country. And
I may ray I allude more particularly to the want art else,-

They are cause and sidect. The intellectual bring must hays

of a less creditable and more dangerous character. (Hem,

would cost too much money to educate the people. Depend

now a stronger government than that of Lord Grey ap-
peased to be in 1834, vet it wee broken up by internal dm-
sondonr. The same tote awaited the administration of Sir
R. Pod in 1845. Judging by the probable course of enrage,
however, it is nit likely that I shall soon return to solicit a

LORD STANLEY.

Lord Stanley and Mr. J. M. Gurney were yes-
terday re-sleeted without oppoatien.
Lord STanLey, in the mute of • lengthened addrees to
the electors, in which he was frequently enthusiastically
cheered, parsed in review the nbjectm which have engaged
the attention of the late parliament, and glanced et the
topics likely to come under the consideration of the new
one. Ile utterly denied the charge of " factions
combination and unprincipled compromise" brought
spies' t the majority on the Chinese question, declaring
that be had never seen a division in which there was
so great • moral and intellectual prepaiderance. He
denounced the war, as not only unjust to the Chinese, and
sconemieffily unjust to the English people, bat because, by
weakening China, we laid that empire open to the Negras-
Mons el R.l.* whose designs were already apparent in the
north of China. Commercially, politically, and diplomati-
cally, that war was • mistake. Turaing from foreign affairs
and from intervention in foreign elates—e principle which
he deprecated—he approached dime domestic subject. which
he thought of greater Imp:ethane. He said, " I desire to
