At 7 in the morning the masks were dancing with .
as much animation as if the ball had but just com-
menced. A person whose communications deserve
implicit confidence, has informed me that the
Emperor Was Very serious, and even sad, dining
the last few days of his stay at Milan. It
would afford me satisfaction to be able to say
that the Lombards met halfway the advances
made to them ; but, unfortunately, such was
not the case. It has frequently been stated
that the Duchess of Parma hag a strong bias in
favour of Sardinia ; but such is not the ease. The
fact is, that the Regent dislikes both Austria and
Sardinia, and requires nothing from either of them
but non-intervention in the internal affairs of the
Duchy. It is related that the Grand Duke of
Tuscany is about to grant an arrinest.y to all the
political offenders, excepting Montanelli, Guerazzi,
Pigli, and a few others.
According to a telegraphic despatch received yes-
terday from Jassy, the Kaimakan of Moldavia is
dead. A short time before he expired M. Theodore
de Balseh sent for the Adiiinistrative Council, and
directed it to carry on the government until
instructions Were received from Constantinople. It
is said that the elections for the Divans ad hoc will
begin on the 30th of this month. The Austrians
are already withdrawing from the Principalities,
and in a fortnight or three weeks the
evacuation will be complete. We have learnt
that the British Government Was last night beaten
on the important question of the War with China,
and on looking into the ziltsbai, Gazette I see that
Profesaor Neumann, of Munich, who is the best-
informed man on Chinese matters on the continent,
says that the English agent at Canton had no choiee
but to act as he did. The learned Professor,
who knows the Chinese character well, observes,
that nothing but brute force eau induce them
to listen to reason, so " pig-headed" are they. The
parish priest of Veresegynaz, in Hungary, wishes
to establish a kind of inquisition. The reverend
gentleman proposes that when persons remove
foom one place to another they shall be obliged to
bring with them, from the priest of the parish they
have left, a certificate that they have properly
attended to their religious duties. "No person
who is without such a certificate," says the
enlightened priest,

THE GENERAL ELECTION

CITY or LoND)l4.—It is stated in the Times city article,
that the address to Lord Palmerston, from Lloyd's,
requesting him to stand for the city, having received 375
signatures, was presented this (Friday) afternoon by Mr.
Thornton, the oldest member of that establishment. The
feeling was unanimous, and the list contains the flames of
merchants and underwriters of all shades of political
opinion. It is stated that, among all who were invited to
tioin, there were only six refusals. One hundred names
were affixed after the address Was taken away. The
avtraio daily attendance at Lloyd's is only about 500.
The number of signatures obtained Indicates, therefore,
that the entire body are animated on this occasion by oile
feeling. Baron Rothschild will be again brought forward,
in order to vindicate the great principle upon which he
was originally returned. Mr. Crawford will also come
forward. Of the intentions of the present members we are
riot aware, but it is said that the feeling shown about the
vote on the China question even surpas ies that of gratitude
for Lord John Russell's past services, and that his re-
election is doubtful.
MIDDLESEX.—Mr. Bernal Osborne will not again come
forward for this county.
WESTMINSTER. —The friends of Low Church principles,
or some of the more ardent amongst them, have placarded
the name of Mr. NiTeserten as a candidate.
MasilmanoNr.—Lord F.brington's friends have
flounced his intentio❑ of again coming forward as a can
didate.
FINSBURY.—Mr. Thomas Duncombe will retain his seat.
Mr. Alderman Challis, it is stated, will retire, and Major
Reed (who leaves Abingdon) will be in that case the
second Liberal candidate. Besides these, there is talked
of a Mr. W. Cox, solicitor, and Mr. Rogers, Chancery
barr►ster.
LAIIRETII,—Mr. Wilkinson will be again returned, but
Mr. Williams will not be the chos!en candidate of the
Liberal electork,
GEEENwrce will re elect Mr. M. Chambers and General
Codrington.
• TOWER HAMLETS.—Tho present members, Sir W. Clay
and Mr. Butler, will oo►ane forward for re-election.
SOUTHAMPTON —ln the prospect of the approaching
struggle of the Derby party and their new allies to get
possession of the reins of Government, the Liberal electors
of Southampton will not repeat their recent internecine
quarrel, but are preparing to sink their differences, and
unite in support of the sitting liberal members, Messrs.
Wilcox and Weguelin, who have already issued their
address es.

CIRENCESTER.—Mr. Ashley Ponsonby, the present
member, has addressed the electors, and commenced his
canvass. Mr. Alexander Bathurst has been put forward
in opposition on the Tory side.
ANGLESEY BOROUGHS.—Mr. W. Owen Stanley, the
present member for Chester, goes to the Anglesey
Berougha, in place of Lord George Paget, who retires.
Briomr.N.-7-Mr. Wy,ld, of Charing cross, is to stand for
this borough ori the Liberal Intettst.
SOUTH NORTHAMPTONSHIRE —Lord Althor litts issued
an address to the electors of the Southern division of
Northamptonshire, intimating his intention of becoming a
candidate on Liberal principles, for the representation at
the general election. His lordship writes :—" The memory
of one of my name, who for a long time had the honour of
representing this county in Parliament, is still fresh in
the minds of many of you; and I feel the more confidenCe
in coning for Ward, holding, as I do; the same general
principles which directed his eonrse of public
Bars :bor.—At Bristol the determination of Lord Palmer-
ston to appeal to the country in vindication of his general
policy has been received with satisfaction. Active
measures are being taken to secure thn return of the
present members ( Messrs. H. Berkeley and H. G. Langton.)
DEVONSHIRE.—PIymouth, we are glad to see, says the
Western Times will get rid of Mr. Roundel' Palmer, and
return 'two Liberals. We cannot look for much other
beneficial change in the county. North Devon has two
members who are getting past senatorial labour. Mr.
Buck, it is said, can never go up to Parliament again ; and
Sir Thomas Acland, who is 70 years old, experiences the
infirmities incidental to that advanced period of life. the
Tories talk, we hear, of bringing Sir Stafford Northcote
forward for North Devon, in the room of Mr. Buck, as a
slight compliment to Mr. Gladstone. In return for the
services rendered by that able casuist, and in token of
their peace with the Peelites. In South Devon, Sir John
Buller and Mr. Palk will, of course, be returned without
opposition—the county is entirely in the hands of the
landlords. Dartmouth may, perhaps, wrestle against Sir
Henry Seale 's coarse minded ascendancy; but in no other
part of the county do we see any likelihood of a change.
WINDSOR.—Mr. Grenfell and Mr. S. Ricardo will again
come forward for Windsor, and Mr. Hope, Mr. Roberts,
the banker, and Mr. William Vansittart, are announced
as likely to oppose therr.
LEEDS —lllr. W. E Foster and Mr. Morley, of the late
Administrative Reform Society, are spoken of as about to
come forward, and Mr. W. Beckett, now M.P. for Ripon,
is to he asked to come forward with Mr. Baines for Leeds.
PONTEFitACT.-111r. Motickton Milnes will be pretty
certain of his re-election, but Mr. OlivAra will be strongly
opposed by Mr. Wood, a, local manufacturer.
HALtrax.—Sir Charles Wood and Mr. Crossley will in
all likelihood be returned, though Mr. Edwards may come
forward.

EDTIVEURGII. —Lord John Russell, it is said, is about to
be brought forward with Mr. Black. Mr. Cowan and
Mr. M`Laren will also come forward.
NORWICH.—The present member, it is thought, will be
re-elected.

LYNN.—Lord Stanley and Mr. J. H. Gurney will not,
it is presumed, he disturbed in their seats.

Wisr Nenrouc.—Major-General Windham is reported
as about to be brought forward as a Liberal for West
Norfolk.

DEVONPORT,-Mr. James Wilson will be a candidate for
Devonport ; General Berkeley retires, and Sir Erskine
Perry's junction with the Opposition the other night has
placed his seat in danger.

BELFAST.—There is every prospect of the displacement
of the present Tory members for Belfast, and the substi-
tution of two Liberals. A committee has been formed,
and active steps will be taken.

CARLOW —For the county of Carlow Captain Banbury
and Mr. Brien are in the field on the Conservative
interest.

WATERFORD.—Mr. John Ball, it is said, will go to
Waterford city, with every prospect of success.a
OXFORD, CITY.—The Advertiser says, that several of the
most influential gentlemen, who composed M. Cardwell's
committee, at the last election, are now the leading mem-
bers of a comtnitte formed to throw him out.
BRADFORD.—The Daily News announces that Colonel
Thompson will offer himself for Bradford.
SHEFFIELD.—Mr. W. Overend, Q.C., will offer himself
as a supporter of Lord Palmerston.
COVENTRY.—Mr. Edward Elice has addressed the
electors. He explains very fully the grounds on which he
supported the government on Mr. Cobden's resolution.
RAntionsnraE Bonouans.—The return of the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer will not be opposed.
WALES.—Respecting the representation of Wales we
read in the Welshman: The division list will possibly
affect the representation of South Wales, although not to
any great extent. The constituents notice with approval
the votes in favour of Ministers by Viscount Einlyn, Mr.
Morris, Mr. Phipps, Col. Watkins, Sir John Owen, and
Mr. Dillwyn. These votes are appreciated by electors
differing in political sentiments, but who know how to
value independent and at the same time consistent conduct,
in political as in all other matters. The members for this
county and borough will no doubt be returned without
opposition, and Viscount Etnlyn is sure of his seat for the
county of Pembroke. It was stated that the independent
course pursued by Mr. Philipps had given general satis-
faction to the electors, and in consequence his return for
Ilaverfordwest would not be contested ; but we find that
Mr. William Rees. solicitor, has been put forward by the
Liberals, who are already canvassing on his behalf. We
have not heard of any opposition for Cardiganshire, so
that Lord Lisburne will probably be re-elected. There is
some talk of opposition to Mr. Lloyd Davies for the Car
diganshire Boroughs, and Mr. Lloyd, of Bronwydd, has
been named by the Liberals. However, no official infirm.
tiou has reached us concerning it. No alteration is
anticipated in Breconshire.

LANCASHIRE.—In the northern division of the county we
know nothing to the contrary of both members again
becoming candidates, although there were some rumours
afloat on Saturday that Mr. Heywood, on account of im-
paired health, would not come forward. In the southern
division, we believe both the present representatives will
will again stand.

MANCHESTER.—On Friday a
.meeting was held consist.
lug of the old Free Trade party. There was a full
attendance, including Mr. George Wilson (in the chair),
Mr. Alexander Henry, Mr. Edward Potter, Mr. H. N.
Philips, &c. A resolution was moved by Mr. A. Henry,
seconded by Mr. Alderman Mackie, expressing confidence
in the sitting members, the Right Hon. T. M. Gibson, and
Mr. John Bright, and requesting them again to stand for
the borough. The resolution was adopted unanimously.
It was further resolved that the gentlemen present form
themselves into a committee to conduct the election, with
power to add to their [amber. Mr. Wilson was appointed
chairman with acclamation, Sir Elkanah Armitage, trea-
surer, and Mr. S. P. Robinson secretary. Much discus.
sion took place respecting the recent vote in the House of
Commons, and it was generally of approval of it.
PREsros. We have been rt quested to state that, at the
ensuing election, Mr. Grenfekl will seek to renew his par-
liamentary connection with Preston. This is the only
positive information we are in a position to give respect-
ing the election for this borough. Mr. Parker's friends
are naturally anxious to have that gentleman's services as
their representative, and his recently improved health
has led some of them to hope that he will not persevere
in his expressed intention of retiring from parliamentary
life. Sir George Strickland's friends will also probably
request him again to offer himself to the constituency.—
Preston Chronicle.

CasszEn.—J-117r-. Henry Grenfell, brother of the member
for Windsor, offers himself to the electors as a supporter
of the liberal policy of Lord Palmerston, in room of Mr.
Owen Stanley.

and West, to Lord Palmerston, at the Treasury, solicting
the noble Premier's permission to place him in nomination
at the ensuing election of the City of London. A similar
petition was at the same time handed in by Mr. Wilkin-
son, M.P., from the members of the Stock Exchange.
His lordship, it is understood, declined the honour.—

Shipping Ga:ette.
We cannot think that they have at all 'repeated their
position. Lord Derby's party and the Peelites combined
could not retain office for a single week There is, how-
ever, little reason to be afraid of their return to power.
Lord Palmerston knows that the country is thoroughly
with him; though upon some points his ideas are not so
liberal as could be desired, and that an appeal to the
country would result favourably to hia ministry. We
may, therefore, expect a dissolution of parliament as soon
as that portion of the business at present before parlia-
ment, which it is necessary should not be postponed, has
been transacted ' • and it wlll then be for the country to
record its deliberate verdict upon the policy of the
ministry which brought us successfully oat of the late war
with Russia ; which has just concluded a satisfactory
peace with Persia; and which has not at the present time
a single quarrel with any power but China. There cannot
be a doubt, that the verdict will greatly strengthen the
position of the ministry.—Durham Chronicle.
Lord Palmerston has decided to make an appeal to the
country ! If the electcrs vote for men of liberal principles,
who are prepared to give a general support to Lord
Palmerston, they wi!l place in power the only workable
government from which it is likely the cause of progress
will gain anything at the present juncture.—Kent and
Sussex ildvertiscr.

The contest which is about td tals::4 place must, to a
certain extent, assume the character of a personal one.
It is Lord Palmerston, the ablest of the Liberal statesmen,
and the most successful of Liberal leaders, who is assailed.
It is his policy which is specially attacked, and it is for
or againstihim that the decision must be given.—Hertford
_Mercury.

We have no fear that a Parliament can be returned
that It ill for a single week tolerate a Tory government.—
Bucks Advertiser.

Lord Palmerston's thorough English spirit, his indomit-
able power of work, and genial good humour, have made
him more personally beloved than all)' public leader of
the day. His defeat was the work of treachery.—
Western Times.
The vote is greatly to be deplored.
electors will pass in review the antecedents of Lora Derby
Mr. Disraeli, Mr. Gladstone, and Sir James Graham, aild
they will contrast with them the claims of Lord Palmer-
ston or Lord Clarendon.—Kendal Hercury.
The real question to be decided is, whether British
commerce is to be crushed or supported—whether we are
to maintain the protection of the British sag, or lay it at
the feet of a people who, in their intercourse with other
nations, have no respect for laws, treaties, or the sacred
rights of humanity ?—faverness Courier.
A full measure of public indignation will be poured
upon the head of those mean, dastard partisans, who have
thus recently endeavoured to subvert a Minister to whom
every patriot feels the national gratitude is due.—Carnar-
von Herald.

The merit of Lord Palmerston's government in our
view, is the protection vihich it has afforded against
Toryism and Spoonerism in England, and the unbridled
rule of Oraugeism in Ireland. Let Lord Palmerston
adopt a thorough Liberal and Reforming policy, embrac-
ing Ireland in its comprehensive range, and his success
at the elections will be complete and triumphant. His
opponents of the Coalition can have as many cries as there
are sections in the confederacy—tor Lord John Russell is
joined with Spooner and Whiteside—Tory with Peelite—
and Exeter Hall with what is called " Irish Independent
Opposition" and the Manchester school. The Coalition
is the confusion of Babel, and it wants the real elements
of a compact and permanent party.—Duhan Evening Pest.
We are not out and out supporters of the Palmerston
Ministry. But in this Chinese affair we hold government
to have been in the right. We are not much surprised,
although we lament that party feeling should have such
Sway, to find the Conservatives impugning the conduct of
government ; it may be regretted, but it was natural and
was to be expected. But wo confess we are grieved and
astonished to see Lord John Russell allying himself with
Earl Derby, Mr. Disraeli, and Mr. Gladstone, in such a
cause.—Bristol Gazette.

Lord Palmerston is by far the profoundest statesman we
at prcsent po:sess. He rescued us from the war with
Russia in a manner no other politician could ; be saved us
from a serious disagreement with America ; and the effect
of his last act has been to terminate a dangerous war with
Persia.—Derhyshire Times
Lord Palmersto❑ could not come before the constituency
in more favourable circumstances. He is beyond co:n-
parison the most popular statesman of the day.—Scottish
Guardian.

Lord Palmeraton has fully justified the confidence re-
posed in him by his country.—York Herald.
The questim to be decided will be a national one: the
Palmerston government will appeal to the country for
support in its pursuit of a national policy against a conspi-
racy of parties.-27righton Herald.
.IScarcely ever has faction manifested its vileness and its
baseness in blacker colours than it did on Tuesday in the
House of Commons. The constituencies will know how to
deal with tbo:e members who have swollen the majority.—
Leicester Chronicle.

This vote will obtain the approval of despots, and of
all who envy and bate this country ; but England has now
to speak out. There is yet confidence as to the decision of
the people. From Liverpool and Manchester, and, we
believe, from every important borough in the kingdom,
addresses will soon flow in expressive of undiminished con-
fidence in Lord Palmerston and his policy. What will
Bath do ? —.Bath Journal.

SHEFFIED.—We believe that the present Premier has
won the good opinion of the oountry generally, and also of
the inhabitants of this town, who will not thank their pre-
sent members (Hessrs. Roetrick and Hadfield) for the part
they have take —Sheffield Times.

ACTIVE MEASURES FOR THE SETTLEMENT OF
THE CHINESE DISPUTE.

The opposition will be gratified to a certain extent,
inasmuch as a plenipotentiary will shortly proceed to
China, with full powers to conclude a peace. The person,
whoever he may be, will not, indeed, supersede Sir 3.
Bowring, or in any way dispense with the assistance of
the men who are at present conducting the affairs of the
country in the Eastern seas. He will, however, have the
advan►age of knowing the wishes of the cabinet from the
mouths of the ministers themselves, and he will be
acquainted with what has been said and done at home,
while Sir J. Bowring, Sir M. Seymour, and Mr. Parkes,
will be able to supply him with the necessary local
knowledge. The plenipotentiary will, we believe, seek to
establish direct communication, not with Yeh, but with
the Emperor. The opposition, which holds Lord Palmer-
ston responsible for the acts of officials at the other side
of the globe, cin hardly deny that the Court of Pekin
should be held accountable for the acts of one of its
greatest satraps. The despatch of a professed pacificator
is not, however, the most important step. In the present
temper of the Chinese. diplomatic advances will be con-
sidered as a sign of failing courage. Peace will come in
due time, and the best way to hasten its arrival is to
increase the force in the Chinese seas, and to act with
vigour and promptitude. By the peace with Persia,
signed three days since, two fine bodies of troops, that
which garrisons Bushire and that which has probably, by
this time, sailed from Bombay to join the former, will soon
be free for service in China. Furthermore, the whole of
the Indian navy, with a large fleet of transports, will soon
be available.
