THE DAY'S NEWS.

The Liverpool election, on Saturday, terminated
in the triumphant return of Mr. Ewart, the Liberal
candidate, over Mr. Charles Turner, who was left
in a minority of more than 800.
So far, the elections throughout the country
have terminated in favour of Lord Palmerston, if we
except the city of London, wherein Lord J. Russel
was returned as a member. The peace party
have been utterly rented ; not one of their
leading men have been returned. Messrs. Gibson
and Bright, at Manchester, had 2,000 less votes
than their opponents, Sir J. Potter and Mr. J. A.
Turner. The old league party, or what was latterly
known as the " Manchester School," has been
completely annihilated, as an addition to
Messrs. Gibson and Bright being deprived of
their seats for Manchester. Mr. Cobden has been
defeated at Huddersfield. Not one of the members
of the Ministry has as yet been defeated. Mr.
Massey has been returned for Salford. Sir Joshua
Walmsley has been defeated at Leicester. Mr.
Lawrence Heyworth did not stand for Derby, and
Bramley Moore has been returned for Maldon,
being second at the poll. Mr. Lowe, Presi-
dent of the Board of Trade, is again member
for Kidderminster ; but the election was not now
without a riot, which, in the end, proved so for-
midable, that a detachment of military had to be
called from Birmingham, ere the emute was quelled.
A number of persons were severely injured. Mr.
Humphrey Brown, of British bank notoriety, has
been ignominiously turned out of his native
;borough, Tewkesbury.
There is no domestic or local news of the least
consequence, the elections being the all-absorbing
question of the day. _ . _

•
We have one week's later news from the United
States. Lord Napier had been introduced to the
President, and presented his credentials as
English Minister. The remarks made by both
gentlemen on the occasion, will be found
given at length in another column. The
assurance given by the President that " the good
wishes which her Majesty cherishes for the United
States will elicit an enthusiastic response from the
hearts of the American people," will cause as deep
tand as widespread gratification in England, as
we c.re sure that the expression of her Majesty's
" earnest desire to preserve and advance the
interests and happiness of the people of Eng-
land and America, which are so deeply involved
in their amicable intercourse," will afford to all
classes of the population in the United States.
The Dallas-Clarendon Treaty had passed the
Senate after some amendments, and had been
ratified by the President. It was generally believed
that the amendments adopted by the Senate prior
to its ratification, are confined to the non recog.
nition of certain grants of land made by the
British Consul in the name of the Mosquito. King;
to a more precise delineation of the
boundaries of certain lands reserved for the
Mosquito Indians; and to striking out the qualifi•
cations attached to the Act of cession of the Bay Is-
lands by Great Britain to Honduras. The
great principles of the Treaty, namely, the renun-
ciation by Great Britain of all claim to territorial
sovereignty in Central America, with the exception
of the Belize ; the acknowledgment of the right of
the Republic of Honduras to the possession of the
Bay Islands ; and the protectorate of the Mosquito
Indians,—are in no way disturbed by the proposed
amendments. It is not anticipated that
the British Government will object to any
of the proposed modifications. The material point,
which some have called the whole concern of

England in Honduras, namely, a free transit
across the territory, is securei ; and the point of
honour—the protectorate of the Mosquito tribe—
is placed on a fir mer.and more advantageous basis
than it was before. It is doubted whether Lor 1
Napier is empowered to accept or reject the
Senate's amendments. In case he is not, it will
he necessary to submit the matter to the British
Government for their approval. If this be
accorded, as every one seems to think it will be,
but a few weeks will be required for the final and
satisfactory adjustment of the long vexed Central
American question. There is exciting news from
Kansas. Governor Geary had resigned, and
it was feared that another civil war
would break out in the Territory. The
Federal Government were sorely puzzled
what to do. A Rebellion Bill, which was
regarded in Kansas as the omen of future
disturbances, had been passed by the Legisla-
ture. It was entitled "An Act to Punish
Rebellion," and was to the following effect ;
" Be it enacted by the Governor and the Legislative
Assembly of the territory of Kansas. Sec. I. If
two or more persons shall combine by force to
usurp the government of this territory or to over-
turn the same, or interfere forcibly with the ad
ministration of the government, or any department
thereof, evidenced by forcible attempt within this
territory to accomplish such purpose, the person
so offending shall be deemed guilty of rebellion,
and on conviction shall suffer death, or confine-
ment and hard labour. Sec. 2. If twelve or more
persons shall conspire to levy war against any part
of the people of this territory, they shall be deemed
guilty of rebellion, and on conviction shall suffer
death, or confinement and hard labour. See. 3.
If two or more shall conspire to remove forcibly
out of this territory, or from their habitations, any
portion of the people of this territory, evidenced
by the taking arms and assembling to accomplish
such purpose, they shall be deemed guilty of
rebellion, and punished as in the last section
specified. Sec. 4. Confinement and hard labour,
as provided for in this act, shall not exceed
twenty years. This act to take effect
and be in force from and and after its passage."
By way of Havanuah we have details of Central
American news to a late date. They go just far
enough to stimulate the hopes of Walker's friends
without changing the opinions of those who con-
sider his condition desperate. Colonel Lockridge
is making desperate efforts to re-open his line of
reinforcements, and so far as he has gone has
been successful. But his progress is small, and
the difficulties of the attempt are but just com-
mencing.

A dreadful railroad accident had occured at the
Suspension Bridge over the Burlington Canal ;
on the Great Western of Canada railroad, involving
a loss of life of between 70 and 100 persons. The
train, which left Toronto at four o'clock p.m. went
through the suspension bridge with a tremendous
crash. It appears that the locomotive and baggago
car, and the two first class passenger cars
went through. Full details are given elsewhere.
There is but little new from the continent this
morning. _ _

Advices from Konigsberg state that Russia has
reduced her Customs' tariff considerably. The
duty on cotton and woollen goods is to be reduced
one half. The duty on silk is unchanged. The
duty on linen is raised.

The Paris Of oniteur contains a note on the
difficulty which has arisen between the Bishop of
Moulins and some of his inferior clergy, and which
has been submitted to the Council of State. From
the wording of the note it would appear that the
conduct of the above prelate is condemned by
government.

It would appear by letters from Denmark that
from the lst of April next the Sound Dues will
continue to be reckoned for vessels belonging to
States which shall not have ratified the treaty, but
these vessels are merely to give a guarantee for the
dues, and when the ratification has taken place, the
debt will be cancelled.
Berlin letters of the 27th informs us that the
first paragraph of the law concerning the tax on
houses, proposed by the Prussian Government,
in which paragraph the whole of the law was
embodied, has been rejected in the House of
.veputies ny a majority or z.lt against 73 The
Minister of Finance announced that the Govern.
ment would not insist on the discussion of the
remainder of this bill.

The Messrs. Green, the greatest American
bankers in Paris, have failed.

THE contest is over ! The victory is won ! Libe-
ralism has triumphed over the arrogant pretensions
of Toryism. Mr. EWART has been placed at the
head of the poll by a vote of 7,086 to 6.282, and Mr.
TURNER sent to meditate over the consequences of
his indiscreet conduct, creating annoyance, incon-
venience and bad feeling by the contest. No other
result could be expected. The days are gone by
when rampant Orangeism will be permitted to
domineer over such a numerous, influential, and
liberal constituency as that of Liverpool. The
proposal of the Reform party to re-elect Messrs.
SWART and HORSFALL was legitimate and reasona-

ble. tieing provoked to a contest, however, they
have taught Mr. TURNER and his party that their
influence is gone. The Liberals have the power,
and had they exercised it, could have sent up
another gentleman in the room of Mr. HORSEALL
Mr. TURNER must feel deeply humiliated at his pre-
sent position. For what has occurred he can
blame no one but himself ; and we hope that, as
he returns into private life, he will duly ponder
over the result of the present election, and learn
therefrom the wholesome lesson that it is a most
dangerous thing to drink too deep from the cup of
popularity ; and that public characters who are
led away by vanity and an overweening ambition,
are sure to meet universal condemnation from the
public at large.
The grand cry of the Tories at the contest just
closed was " Down with Maynooth." This was
fomented by the Orangemen who held a grand
conclave at Clayton Hall, on Wednesday night.
The Electors of Liverpool have repudiated that
cry, and in a spirit of manly independence pro-
claimed their abhorance of a system which is

exclusive and anti-Christian in its character. They
have set the broad seal of their approbation upon
the advocates of Reform, and as far as their
influence can extend will not be satisfied with any
thing less than the fu]fi!ment of the good old cry
of " Peace, Retrenchment, and Reform." A policy
dictated by such principles will be the only means
of elevating the people in all which pertains to
independence, intelligence, wealth, and power, and
the country rendered more and more respected
and feared by the nations of the earth.

We look upon the contest just closed as core
plete evidence of the utter prostration of
Toryism in Liverpool. To the credit of many
influential gentlemen, who formerly took

heir place in the van of a bigoted faction,

they held aloof on the present occasion. Many,

whom we could name, disapproved of the course
pursued by the political clique who congregate in
They were too liberal for

arrington street.

such wholesale arrogance as the bring-
ing forward of Mr. TURNER. Indoed, if we

are not misinformed, ➢lr. HORSFALL himself
felt anything but comfortable at the company he
was obliged to keep during the contest. His whole
proceedings throughout show that he is gradually
throwing off the trammels of his party, and that in
a short time we may expect to find him advocating
political sentiments as liberal and enlightened as
those of the most popular Reformers of the day.
From what has occurred, that gentleman cannot
with consistency be found in the ranks of bigotry,
as marshalled by the Colonel Commandant of the
Constitutional Association. What gall and worm-
wood it must be. to the Tories to read the final

state of the poll, and to know that they were
grossly mis-lead by the false prophecies which
certain parties boastfully placarded on Friday.

Now that the contest is over, and that the

principles of progress have been ably vindicated,
and triumphantly carried, let us hope that all
ill fealing will be allayed, and that the past be

forgotten. 'We have now two representatives in

whom the people trust. Be it our duty to act as
becomes free and Independant citizens, and now
only think how each and all can best promote the
public weal, free of the impeding shackles which

our opponents would place upon civil and religious
liberty, our commercial prosperity, and the mental
and moral illumination of the people at large.

THE Prime Minister has been re-elected, and
has addressed his constituents at some length.
The sentiments of the noble Lord, at this parti-
cular juncture, are not only interesting but
highly important. They give us an insight into
the intentions of the Ministry, and enable us to
form an estimate of the measures of reform whieh
they purpose to bring forward. In addressing
his constituents, Lord PALMERSTON, as might be
expected, dwelt at much length upon the Can-
ton affair, and with great vigour vindicated the
policy which he and his colleagues had pursued
thereon. We are glad to find that his lordship
judged rightly, when on Friday he told his con-
stituents that he hoped the Chinese Government
would prove too well informed, both as to the
nature of the alleged violence committed, and as
to the dangerous results to China from a conflict
with England, to make the dispute at Canton a
cause of war, His lordship had hardly uttered
this hope when the wings of the lightning mes-
senger bore us the pleasing announcement that
the Emperor of China disapproves of the con-
duct of Governor Yeh, and had given orders that
that official should use every effort in conciliating
the English. This is highly satisfactory. It is,
however, to be hoped that from what has taken
place both here and in China, that such regula-
tions
_will be issued, and a strict adherence
thereto insisted upon, as will prevent for the
future any such occurrences as have taken place
at Canton.

Pleasing as is the intelligence that the Chinese
quarrel has been settled, and that our relations
wan rerni are piacea upon a peaceable and
satisfactory footing, the intentions of Lord
PALMERSTON as to the promotion of measures of
reform are equally so. As far as is prudent
for the head of the Government to make pledges
and promises, Lord PALMERSTON binds himself
to mature and carry through Parliament such
well considered measures as will give satisfaction

to the country. He regards our institutions to
be "in the main better than those of any other
"country on the face• of cthe globe, without a
single exception, Ido not say on that account
" that they cannot be improved. All human in-
stitutions must necessarily be imperfect, Ours
"in all their branches are, no doubt, susceptible of
" amelioration and the government that shuts
" its eyes to facts and circumstances, and wished to
" maintain things in all respects as they are,
" simply because they are, would be a govern-
" ment upon which the lessons of experience and
" the reasonings of men would be utterly thrown
"away."

In this declaration of principles, we recognise

the fact that Lord PALMERSTON is determined to
act the part of genuine Reformer, and
although he may not proceed as extensively and
as quick as some could wish, we must admit
that the line of policy which the above quotation
foreshadows, that his Lordship will be found
using his position and influence to promote
the people's cauie. He tells us with a frankness
which is commendable that he will give his sup-
port to the extension and improvement of educa-
tion. The extension of the suffrage will also
find in him an advocate and friend; and while
he will take particular care to protect and uphold

the honour and integrity of the country, he will
exercise a well-advised economy in our national
expenditure. These are cheering symptoms, and

if no other good result out of Mr. CODDEN's late
motion than the return of such a Parliament as
will compel the noble Lord to advance in the
cause of Reform, the country will be satisfied
with the dissolution and the result of the general
election. At the same time it will be incumbent
upon the new House of Commons to watch with
much strictness the movements of the PREMIER
and his colleagues. Statesmen are too liable to
forget their hustings pledges. The Reformers
have a powerful majority, and will be enabled to
carry any and every measure of political amelio-
ration which they choose. The country have
elected them for that purpose. It will require at
their hands a fulfillment of all their hopes and
expectations.

As far as the elections have proceeded, this
feeling is emphatically manifested. Men of ster-
ling ability have been ousted to make way for
more stable-minded politicians; and where any
member of the late House of Commons has given
a factious vote, his constituents have marked
their sense of displeasure by ejecting him alto-
gether. Under these circumstances, Lord PAL-
MERSTON will be in an improved position, and is
now all-powerful as the Prime Minister of Eng-
land. He has made his political promises to the
