As you very properly remark "if there be an element
of discord more than another, which is calculated to rend
asunder the Conservative party, it is the religious
element; that element which is to be found in religious

I would ask every Conservative, after the experience

of the past, whether he be a Protestant, or a Political

a bold front at the approaching political struggle if our

party be not united. To achieve a permanent victory,
which is the aim of our chief and, I doubt not, every

Conservative, we must drop our minor different.,

round our Queen 'and revered. Constitution in Church
and State ; and by united action strengthen the hands
of our great Conservative leaders, who are able and

We have no w but one Conservative member for this
borough ; and, if we are not prepared to support the
Earl of Derby at the meeting of Parliament, we shall
find ourselves at the next general election, which in all
probability is not far distant, without even one.
We have had elections of late years innumerable ;
and what has been the result ? Why ! What with the
schisms in High Church and Low Church—Protectionists
and Free Traders—we have been beaten hollow, and
have been unable, to our shame, to strengthen a Con-
servative and Protestant Government. The period has
arrived when we should put our shoulder to the wheel
as one man, if we would check the flood of democracy
which threatens the State. Let not our adversaries be
able to say, that the apple of discord is yet hurtling
amongst us; for, depend upon it, our weakness is their
strength.
I would adjure, therefore, all who call themselves
Conservatives to sink minor differences, and, having
but one object in view, the welfare of their common
country, whenever an election shall take place I doubt
not that we shall be able to strengthen the hands of the
Earl ®f Derby, and the late Government, by returning
a second member, and thus aid them by two votes, upan
a division, instead of one—neutralised as at present,
and, therefore, rendered nugatory.—l am

LOSS OF THE HYNDEFORD.

TO THE EDITOR. OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES

Liverpool, 7th Nov. 1859.

-My attention has been called to a report in
Lloyd's list, of 6th October last, relative to the llynde-
ford, and which report is untrue, as far as stating the
timbers of said vessel to be decayed. The only correct
report was as follows, and should have been so stated :
" 7th Sept., 1859.

I SIR,-

"The Hyndeford, Pearson, from Liverpool to Bom-
bay, which put into Rio Janeiro, 6th August, leaky,
has been discharged, and again surveyed. She has been
found very much strained—one or two of the timbers
about the breastworks rather sappy. Estimates have
been got in of what it would cost to repair her, but the
cost was found to be so heavy, and by far exceeding her
value when repaired, that she was condemned, her cargo
being taken on by the American ship Westminster."
Since then the estimates were more carefully gone
into, and the necessary repairs found to be nearly double
her value, and she was sold by public auction, for
account of whom it might concern
The purchaser, finding it inap
