electors of Tiverton, Let us hope that they will
be fully realised, and that the just rights of the
people so long withheld will be promptly and
fully conceded.

SATURDAY last was a most important day for
the Empire. Nearly one hundred and fifty consti-
encies have gone to the poll, and made choice of
their representatives in the next Parliament. In
mostly every instance the foreign policy of the
Government has been sustained, and that, too in
a manner which leaves no room for doubt as to
the feelings of the country thereon. The Peace
party have been severely handled, and many of
them turned adrift. Mr. COBDEN has been de-
feated at Huddersfield, and the men of Manches-
ter have discarded Messrs. BRIGHT and GIBSON.
The Liberals of Leicester have rejected Sir Jos-
HUA WALMSLEY; Mr. LAYARD has been thrown
out of Aylesbury, and the electors Of Salford
have refused the claims of 'Sir E. ARMITAGE.
Now, the rejection of such men as COBDEN, GIB-
SON, BRIGHT, WALMSLEY, and LAYARD, is a severe
blow to the cause of Liberalism. They are each
gifted advocates of the cause of progress, and
have rendered good service to the country. The
people of England are, however, inexorable in
all that relates to the honour of the British flag ;
and no matter who he may be who would falter
or hesitate in its vindication, is sure to meet with
condemnation.

In the rejection of the gentlemen alluded to,
Lord PALMERSTON has had his revenge far ,the
attempt to censure his Government. We could
have wished that when the electors of Manches-
ter and Huddeisfield, Salford and Leicester, had
made up their minds to reject the gentlemen we
have named, that they had been more happy in
the selection of their future representatives. Mr.
ARKROYD will be a poor substitute for Mr. COB-
DEN ; Sir JOHN POTTER and Mr. TURNER will

not be able to command the influence of Mr.
GIBSON and Mr. BRIGHT; whilst the diplomatic
talent of Mr. LAYARD will be keenly felt. Well,
indeed, might every one of them exclaim, "My
" punishment is greater than I can bear !"

The offence of voting against the foreign
policy of Lord PALMERSTON has resulted in the
dismissal of a number of able politicians and
earnest Reformers, which will be sorely felt;

and we doubt not that after the excitement of
the present elections are over, many of the con-
stituencies will regret that they have been so far
led away as to exclude from the House of Com-
mons a set of gentlemen who have rendered
essential and most important services to the
State.

But although the evils and inconveniencies to
which allusion has been made will undoubtedly
occur, we see in the fact of such, c inclusive
hopes of ultimate beneficial results. It is not to
be supposed that men of such political standing
as Mr. COBDEN and Mr. BRIGHT can long be
without seats in Parliament. Their rejection.
will be the means of forming a strong political
feeling out of doors, and that in its turn will
exercise a wholesome and salutary effect upon
of 411 00,•02.1,111f1 'l-110 WCLO much
wanted; for, notwithstanding the boasted ex-
cellence of our institutions, recent events, have
demonstrated the fact, that as things now exist,
there is a deal of Government corruption and
national jobbing.

PASSAGE.—The Steamer Valparaiso, which sailed
from Liverpool on the 29th of November, arrived out at
Valparaiso on the 19th of January, 61 days from port to
port.

THE GREAT FLOAT.—We understand that a portion of
the Great Float, will be launched this day, and brought to
this side of the water previous to being adjusted in ita place.
SERIOUS ASSAULT.— On Saturday night, Mrs.. Palmer,
the wife of William Palmer, a. shipping agent, residing at
the north end of the town, was taken to the Northern
Hospital with several wounds, which she states her husband
inflicted on her. She is at present under medical treatment
at the Hospital.

Sin Lturica.—On Saturday there was launched from
the building yard of Messrs. Vernon a fine ship called the
Philosopher, built for Messrs. Thomas and James Harrison,
of this town. She is 187 feet long between perpendiculars,
34 feet beam, and 22 deep, with a registered tonnage of
1,024. She will be full ship rigged, with an iron main-
malt, and will form an additional vessel to our noble fleet.
LAW AND PoLmcs.—During the progress of the trials in
the Nisi Prius C iurt, on Saturday, some slight interruption
occurred every half hour, from the entrance of a person
with a mysterious piece of paper in his hand, which was
first handed to the counsel, and then to the jury. On the
first appearance of the gentleman with the missive, his
lordship looked enquiringly and puzzled towards the jury,
when the foreman handed to his lordship the piper, which
turned out to be the state of the poll, with Ewart 400
ahead. Hurrah ! The judge smiled, and every successive
half hour he was made acquainted with the doings outside
connected with the contest.

SALVAGE OF A DESERTED SHIP.-011 Wednesday, a fine
brig, the Selsker, of Wexford, 200 tons burthen, was towed
about half past one o'clock into Q teenstown, by the Black
Eagle tug. She was found by the crew of the Derrynane, .a
pilot boat belonging to the Messrs. Scott, about fifteen miles
to the west of the Old Head of Kinsale, completely
abandoned. The vessel had about three feet of water in the
hold, lint in all respects she appears to have been uninjured.
Her topgallant yards were standing and her foretopsail
was set when the pilots boarded her. They found her pro..
visions, brandy, wine, &c., all right, and a large bale of
tobacco, about 21 cwt weight, was on the cabin floor. The
long boat only was taken away, in whieb,it is presumed, the
captain and crew sought to make their escape; and the
ship's papers were gone. The vessel had on board a cargo
of linFeed, and was bound from the Danube to this port for
orders.
