THE DAY'S NEWS

The main topic of news this morning IS the
general elections. Yesterday Liverpool proceeded
to the nomination of candidates. We have reported
the proceedings at full length in another column,
and, as far as reason and good speaking were con-
cerned, the Liberals had the best of it.
At Manchester, Messrs. Gibs m and Bright were
nominated by the peace party and Sir John Potter
and Mr. J. A. Turner by their opponents. The nom-
ination took place in St. Anne's Square, and not less
than 0,1100 persons were present. Mr. Gibson, in
the course of. his speech at the hustings, stated that
Mr. Aspinall Turner had been betrayed with serious
indiscretion. " He had charged, as far as I un-
derstand," said the Right Hon. Gentleman," all the
members of the HoUse of Commons who voted for
Mr. Cobden's motion, with having voted for the de
liberate murder of their fellow Countrymen in China
I hope if he is returned to parliament, he will make
-that iitittefiielit-iii-thifffesenee of the Commons of
England, and I take it, if he does, he will
meet with a reception that will not render
him very willing- to present himself to
their =notice again. • Lord John Russell, the
leading members of: the Radical party, Lord
Robert Grosvenor, and the great body of the Con
servative party, who voted on Mr. Cobden's motion,
have been charged by Mr. Turner with voting in
favour of the deliberate murder of their fellow
countrymen in China. Now, you have to consider
whether your old members have to be dismissed
—whether there is a sufficient ease for recording a
verdict against them at the present election.
Have they betrayed the cause they were sent to
Parliament to advocate ? Have they neglected
their duties? Haye they voted according to their
pledges? No ! Well, then, you will censure them by
sending them to the House of Commons to advo-
date your interests in the future. We have been
the advocates of reduced expenditure, of reduced
of the extension of the- suffrage,
of vote r by ballot, and of giving power to,
the people. Judging from the views I have
heard expressed by the supporters of Mr.
Turner and Sir John Potter, they are not the
frier-0 s of the people. They are to go to Parliament
-0 the friends of the government. We cannot
pledge, if returned, to Support the government.
Government men cannot be people's men. Mem-
bers of parliament cannot serve two masters, and
because "we have served the cause of the many
'as against the interests of the few, there-
lore we are. charged with being factious, and
'with being conspirators." At Warrington, Gilbert
,Greenall, Esq., was returned without oppo-
'sition. In reference to the China question, he
,said that he came to the conclusion in his private
reading that Sir John Bowring was not justified.
Then came the debate : he heard it for four nights,
and he ventured to say that in the palmiest days of
the House of Commons there never was a more
important debate. He heard the charge against
Sir John Bowring, and the defence, and he was
more and more confirmed in the conclusion he had
rcaphed before he voted against Lord Palmerston
on that question, but not against Lord Palmerston's
lgovernment—that he had nothing to do with.
!Lord Palmerston will have his support freely and
'independently, to, all measures which he Iselieved
salutary and good, And Lord John Russell, Earl
Derby, or any other minister, shall have his strong.
eet opposition to anything which he believes to be
detrimental to the public good. At Burry, Mr.
F. Peel and Mr. Phillips were nominated, and a
show of hands was declared in favour of Mr. Phil.
lips. A poll was demanded by the friends of Mr.
Peel. The only part of the proceedings of any
interest was Mr. Peel's speech, wherein he declared

himself in favour of an extension of the sufferage.
At the nomination in London the show of hands
in favour of Lord John Russell was immense,,

The intelligence from China is of importance'
this morning. It is etate-d than a telegraphic
message had been received at Bombay, from
Calcutta, stating that the Emperor of China disap-
iirOves of the proceedings of the Government at
Canton, and had given orders
.for conciliating the
English.
From the Persian territory we learn that a battle
had been fought about forty miles from Bushire
between the Bombay and the Persian cavalry
which ended in the total rout of the latter, with a
loss of 800 killed. The loss on our side was 10
killed and 02 wounded.

Intelligence from Constantinople of the 20th
states that 16,000 Turkish troops ate stationed
along the frontiers of the Principalities, prepared
to occupy Bucharest and Tassy, in the event of
unexpected disturbances breaking out during the
excitement of the elections. This is merely a
precautionary measure, the importance of which
has bean exaggerated in the telegraphic despatch
received here. The incident of the Kangaroo was,
at the last dates, the great question of the day at
Stamboul, and the Porte was acting with a great
show of energy in the matter. Ismail Pacha, a
Circassian officer, had been arrested on suspicion
of having facilitated the purchase of the arms and
munitions landed from the Kangaroo ; in all pro-
bability he and Ferhard Pacha will be exiled into
the interior for a short time by the Turkish Cabinet.
Ferhard Pacha, who appears to have been the chief
Organiser of the expolition, is an Austrian renegade
of the name of Stein. He is a man possessed of
immense 'capacity, both military and political. His
pen drew up the most brilliant plans of campaign
carried out in the Hungarian war, and in military
science he has, perhaps, no superior in the world.
However, his moral character aud his attitude in
the field by no means correspond with his vast
intellectual powers-
The intelligence from France is not of the least
moment.

A letter from Naples states that the. Chevalier
Pinelli has been sent by the Neapolitan Govern-
ment on a mission of conciliation to the Western
Powers, and that he was to make a short stay
in Rome, prior to his visiting Paris and London.
A Paris correspondent, noticing the state of
affairs between the beligerent Powers, says -that
the opinion-expressed by Lord Palmerston on a
reconciliation based merely on exchanging exile in
a distant land for imprisonment at home, is one
that is approved by all who knew the country. It
is undoubtedly a misfortune for Italy that there
exists so much division among her patriots as to
the mode of her independence and regeneration.
Each leader has his own separate project, while the
only chance of attaining the object all have in view
would be the sacrifice of party interests and the
amalgamation into one great national body;
Private intelligence has been received from
Cadiz, to the effect that the first division of the
Spanish squadron destined for Cuba and the Mexi
can coast had received orders to depart on the 28th
inst.

From .Vienna we have rumours that, in conse-
quence of the late violation of the Austrian
territory committed by the Montenegrins,' and the
seizure of Louis Radovich, the Austrian govern-
ment has the intention of insisting on proper
reparation.
In some quarters,the suspension of diplomatic
relations between Austria and Piedmont is looked
upon as rather grave, not so much as regards any.
immediate consequences, but on account of the
complications to which it mu- give rise hereafter
in Italy. It is rumoured, though we cannot say
what grounds exist for the rumour, that itis in
contemplation to suspend the reduction in the
French army. The mode, however, of that redue
den is such that the Emperor may again call the
men back to the ranks without difficulty.
_

Hanover advices say that the First Chamber has
adopted unanimously, and the Second Chamber
by a large majority, the bill for suppressing the
national guard, instituted in 1848.
.The Austrian Government has just settled the
amountof indemnification which is to bepaid to the
Danubian Steam Navigation Company for the loss
of monopoly, and in future any nation that
may feel inclined to navigate the Danube from its
source to its mouths will be at liberty to do so.

YESTERDAY the contest for the representation
of Liverpool began in real earnest. The nomi-
nation of the candidates—Messrs. HORSFALL,
EWART, and TURNER—took place in front of the
Town Hall. For a time the proceedings were
marred by the breaking down of that portion of
of the hustings occupied by Mr. EWART'S
friends and supportersoo that an adjournment
took place in order that the deficiency might
be repaired.

As usual, the Tories mustered in force, and
notwithstanding the recent law, 'there was
much disposition to disregard its requirements,
and to exhibit party colours—the appearance o
which is well calculated:to arouse feelings of po-
litical animosity and religious strife. But it is not
our purpose to comment upon these practices.
In proposing Mr. HORSFALL, Mr. War. POTTER
dwelt upon his friend's aptitude for business, his
constant and zealous attention to the duties of
his office as a Member of Parliament. Mr. J. A.
TOBIN followed up the eulogy by stating as an
additional recommendation that Mr. HORSFALL
was the advocate of Education based upon Reli-
gion, whilst Mr. EWART was in favour of that
system which recognised the principle of incul-
cating peculiar religious opinions in the schools
of the nation. The same remarks respecting
Mr. HORSFALL'S fitness were repeated by the pro-
poser and seconder of Mr. TURNER.

In the selection of Members of Parliament,
the Electors have three things to consider : first,
are the gentlemen of business habits, and
of unspotted reputation ; secondly, are they
attached to that class who advocate the people's
rights, and disposed in every instance to advocate
and support those measures best calculated to
advance the nation in all that contributes to
greatness, whether we regard it in the aspect of
wealth, intelligence, or civil and religious free-
dom ; and thirdly, are they independent of
Government influence ?
As to business habits, we have no objection
to make to any one of the three candidates.
They are all gentlemen who are or have been
engaged in trade and commerce, and must have
acquired such experience and training as qualifies
them in the matter under consideration. As to
unspotted reputation, we fear that yesterday's
proceedings must warrant the electors of Liver-
pool to regard one candidate with suspicion.
The " bale and truss" affair has not been cleared
up, and we now repeat the question which he
dexterously evaded replying to, namely : " Does
Mr. TURNER know that his firm charged their
clients 2d. per bale for goods on which they
only paid Id as town dues ?" Now, this is either
a fact, or it is not. Let Mr. TURNER answer
this question, with a plain and simple " Yes" or
" No ;" let him state openly and without reser-
vation or qualification, all he knows of the affair,
and the electors will be more disposed to listen

o his other pretensions. From the statements
made on the hustings yesterday, Mr. TURNER
studs accused of, a very disreputable transaction.
It-behoves him to wipe away the foul slur which -
that imputation affixes to his character, as a
public man. But enough upon this point. The
exposure which has taken place will enable the
electors to say ho,w far, they approve of a gentle-
man against whom a charge so serious has even
been preferred. They will do well to peruse with
care and attention the terms in which that charge
was made, and then give their best consideration
to Mn TURNER'S reply. If they are satisfied
with the latter, then it is their duty to acquit
him of any dishonourable praCtice, but as the
case now stands that seems questiOnable.
We now come to our second enquiry—are
the candidates attached to the cause of Progress ?
To this our reply must be brief, but pointed.
Mr. EWART is ; Messrs. HORSFALL and TURNER
are not. Mr. EWART tells us that he is the firm
and constant supporter of education, denuded of
the dogmas of any religious creed or party.
He tells us that vote by ballot, an extension of
the suffrage, and the abolition of Ecclesiastical
Courts, shall meet with his best support. He will
not join in the bigoted cry of " Down with
Maynooth ;" nor can he see any necessity for the
continuance 'of ChUrch rates. In a word, Mr.
EwART's speech, :as all others he has delivered
during the last ten days, has proved him to be a
genuine Reformer, one who will not compromise
his principles for the sake of office. From Mr.
EWART we turn to MR. HORSFALL and Mr.
TURNER. 130th of these gentlemen are pledged
to vote for -the repeal- of the " Maynooth Grant ;"
to retard the progress of Education, unless
fettered with .the pedantic comments of lay
theologians, in the pers9ns of elementary
teachers. Church and State is with each a watch-
word; Reform a. political dru,g which both the one'
and the other scout, abhor, and detest. Their
political programme is made up, like the mani-
festo of Lord PALMERSTON to his constituents at
TivertOn, of Specious generalities, which may
mean anything, or 'nothing. The Mayor de-
cided the show of hands to be in favour of
Messrs. HORSFALL and TURNER, but we feel
confident that the electors will not ratify that
decision, and that in a few hours after our
readers have perused these remarks, Mr. EWART
will be at the head of the poll, as one of the
representatives of Liverpool, -and that the same
voice will declare Mr. HORSFALL to be his honou-
rable colleague.
