LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 16, 1852.

As the electioneering struggles draw towards their
conclusion the excitement becomes manifestlyincreased.
In Ireland there have been latterly, indeed, more fre-
quent collisions between the mob and the constabu-
-1517 than has been usual even iu that land of popular
turmoil a: d political agitation. At Eeveial of the
county hustings in England, moreover, the fury of
the rival supporters of the opposing candidates has
come from hubbub to blows, as was manifest yester-
day on the occaeion of the nominations at
Hertfordshire. The reason of this must be
tolerably apparent Every one—w'nether Liberal or
Derbyite—recognises the importance of the few
remaining seats, to swell the ranks either of the
Government or of the Opposition. It is perceived that
within the next few days much may be accomplished
to strengthen or weaken the position of our administra-
tors. Upon the result of next week's polling is de-
pendent in fact, in a very great measure, the actual
existence of the present Ministry. Therefore the
energies of all parties alike are revived to contest
the
Places still open to the different candidates for
adrnissietn to the Legislature. It is to this end that
we observe supporters of the Cabinet thrust forward
upon the notice of Liberal constituencies like the
constituency of Middlesex, and,

description should be made just now, cannot but be
cause for satisfaction. It evinces a real solicitude
upon all sides very preferable indeed to the h

sometimes culpably displayed in regard
of a new Parliament. Had the enthusiasm which is
thus being manifested at the eleventh hour
by the Liberal possessors of the franchise
been some what earlier in its manifestation,
we should not have had to regret the loss
of so many seats of importance. We should
have been spared, for example, the chagrin caused by
the rejection of Mr. CARDWELL and of Mr. EWAuT
by the men of Liverpool. We should have seen Mr.
REY24"Ds still empowered to enter the House of
Commons as the elect of Dublin. We should have
witnessed the second triumph of Colonel THOMPSON
at the Radical borough of Bradford. We should
cared from the 1. ;ntme
have been sav etseppe- -
nt consequent
upon the selection of
two ultra-Derbyites by the elec-
tors respectively of Warwicl-, of Cambridge, and of
Rochester. It is unfortunately idle now to comment
upon losses which, like these, are only glaringly
irre-
parable. But a salutary warning may at least '
be drawn at this moment from their remembrance.
The mere recollection of the evil
consequences of the
over-confidence unhappily felt in the foregoing and 1
other instances by the Liberals of the United
King- i
dom, must, we believe, act as an incentive to a greater

degree of activity on the part of their compatriots in
the different contests still remaining to be decided.
In Middlesex, for example, not an opportunity
should be lost to forward the interests of the two
distinguished Liberals who are the candidates for
its representation. If anything had been re-
quired to remind the electors of Middlesex
of the duty devolving upon them at this
moment and in this regard, that reminder would be
discoverable in the circumstance of such a man as
the Marquis of BLANDFORD being hurried at the last
hour, as it were, upon their notice by the advocates
of the Derby Government. Happily, however, for
Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR and his gallant colleague,
Mr. B/axe' BERNAL OSBORNE, there existed no
necessity whatever for any incentive to activity on
the part of their numerous constituents. Their ser-
vices are too well known and too generally appre-
ciated to need any enforcement upon the knowledge
of the men of Middlesex. The only effect, there-
fore, of the appearance of Lord BLANDFORD upon
the hustings to-morrow will be the revival of the
ardour long dormant in the county in consequence
of the indolence of the Tory electors of Middlesex.

for the great Duke of MARLBOROUGH 500,0001.,
and for his Grace's descendants no less than
the enormous aggregate of 12,000,0001. Thereupon
the gallant candidate tersely and facetiously added,in
reference to the electors, " let them bring in 150,111 Q
man with a cleaner bill of health, and a better title to
represent a Liberal constituency." Upon the same
subject, namely, upon the question of sani-
tary reform it was observed yesterday from
the hustings at Hertford by Sir EDWARD BULWER
LYTTON, that there were evidences of the apathy in
this matter of our legislators generally in every
alley of the metropolis, where you might count the
number of squalid human beings passing away by the
side of filthy pools and noxious sewers. In this par.
ticular, as in many others, the culpability of the
late Government must be allowed to be very enor-
mous, and if any authentic token could be adduced
that their successors are prepared to act differentlyl in
regard to sanitary improvements, it would b
sufficient—such is our appreciation of itsimpoertaanincoeslt
—to induce even the most Radical electors to look
with some degree of complacency upon the continued
existence of the DERBY Government. There was
much agreeable pleasantry in the speech addressed
yesterday to the men of Hertfordshire by Sir
BULWER LYTTON, whose support of the Go-
vernment resolved itself into a humorous on-
slaught upon the past Administration. The
rlITLig Cabinet he spoke of as having received a stroke
of paralysis in 1851, and died of exhaustion in 1852 !
119 described it as a Government as much resembling
an oligarchy as any that had ever ruled
the destinies of Great Britain. "It was a
Government," he said, of a couple of families, with
one or two illustrious exceptions," insomuch that
" wherever you looked," continued Sir EDWARD,
,4 you saw a RUSSELL, or a connexion, of a RUSSELL
and a GREY, SO that the last Government put one in
mind of the Chinese map of the world, which was a
large circle in the middle of a square, leaving out
four little corners, which they consider the regions
of perpetual darkness and sin, and they consider the
circle the Celestial Empire, the miserable remnant
of mankind beyond being banished to those four
little corners.—(Cheers and laughter.) Just so,
the last Government, described as a Liberal Ad-
ministration, was the great circle where all the
goad things were concentrated." Should the Hon.
Baronet be elected by the men of Hertfordshire, his
return among the number of the Derbyites would
be as important an accession to the Government as
the recent return of another illustrious man of letters,
Mr. MACAULA.Y, by the constituents of Edinburgh,
constitutes a noble accession to the ranks of the
Liberal Opposition.

We cannot conceive why any civilized nation
should fling the mantle of its protection over ordinary
criminals—murderers or robbers, forgers or swind-
lers; those who have compromised themselves by acts
of violence or fraud cannot be very desirable additions
to the population of any country, however thinly in -
habited, or anxious to encourage immigration. Of
course we do not include persons charged with poli-
tical offences, or acts not opposed to natural law, and
only rendered punishable by special local enact-
ments. Such persons may be cordially and
kindly received, notwithstanding that they may
be fugitives from other lands, and that
large rewards have been offered for their apprehension.
Their very misfortunes, the sufferings they had pre-
viously endured, would constitute the strongest claim
to shelter and hospitality. Bat, with these exceptions,
all persons against whoa prima facie case, or

which all constituted authorities are equally

efforts should be spared
to attain that great desideratum. Now
it is well known that the certainty of even a light
punishment is far More efficacious than the proba-
bility of the most severe, so long as there is a chance

The Moniteur promulgates the Senatus Consultum

The Mayor of Fougerolles, Indre, has been sus-
pended, and the Municipal Council dissolved by the
Prefect.

Yesterday's Moniteur publishes a return of the
revenue for the first six months of the present year,
which amounts to 389,497,000 f. As compared with
the same period of 1851, there is an increase of
25,837,0001., and of 39,030,000 f. over that of 1850.
The State has taken possession of the domain of
Dreux, with the exception of the mausoleum, and the
agents, after executing
the orders of the Government,
proceeded to La Ferteidame to complete their mission
by taking possession of that domain.

last, being the tonth anniversary of
the death of the Duke of ORLEANS, a funeral service
was performed in the Chapelle de Tombeau', at
Dreux, in presence of some friends and faithful sera
vents of the ex-Royal Family.
There is an article in the Pays on the elections in
England, which, considering that the Pays is a Mi-
nisterial organ, has much interest. This journal re-
gards it as quite impossible that the Derby Ministry
can remain in power, and considers that the only man
in England capable of forming a Cabinet which shall
have a chance of duration is Lord PALMERSTON. It is
evident from its language that the Pays fears nothing
for the alliance with England from the return of
Lord PALMERSTON to office with the supreme direc-
tion of affairs.

The thermometer was a little lower in Paris on
Wednesday than on Tuesday,
but from the state of
the atmosphere the heat was more sensibly felt. At
two o'clock in the afternoon the thermometer of M.
CHEVALIER stood at 33 deg. nine-tenths of centigrade
(93 of Fahrenheit). At the same hour, on Tuesday,
it marked 34 deg. six-tenths centigrade (94 deg. one •
third Fahrenheit).
The elevation of the temperature has produced so
important a change in the crops, that in some of the
departments the rye harvest is already completed.
The quantity is large, and the grain is in excellent
condition. In the Valley of Montmorency, and as
far as Pontoise, all the crops have a fine appearance,
and in many parts the yield of oats is greater than
it has been for some years. The accounts from the
wine districts are much more favourable than could
have been expected from the bad weather in June.
The grapes have advanced considerably, and if there
should be no unfavourable weather for a long dura-
tion, the vintage will take place at the usual time.

for the expulsion of the Jesuits, but that it will not

A telegraphic dispatch received at Vienna on the
11th announces that on that day the statue of General
HEETZI, who defended the fortress of Buda against
the revolutionary army in 1849, was inaugurated in
presence of the Emperor of AUSTRIA, who went spe-
cially from Vienna to attend the ceremony. The
population are described to have been rather cold,
though very respectful, to the EMPEROR. After the
ceremony a grand dinner was given at the palace.
The Empress of RUSSIA, after her recent visit to•
the cathedral of Cologne, contributed 50,000 ducats
(360,000 f.) to the works.— -
The German Journal of Frankfort, of the 13th,
says that the Ministers of the states of the coalition
are about to hold another conference, but that the
place of meeting has not yet been quite decided on.
It was stated some time ago that M. HASSERPPLUG,
Prime Minister of the Elector of HESSE, had been
condemned by the tribunal of Greefswalden, in
Prussia, to imprisonment for forgery. •The affair
has since been carried before the Supreme Court at
Berlin, and he has been acquitted.
