ITIDHURST.

The election of a representative for Midhurst, in con-
sequence of the acceptance by Mr. Walpole of the
Secretaryship of the Home-office, was hold yesterday
(Friday).
The HIGH BAILIFF (George Wolferston, Esq.), pre-
sided ; Lady Egmont, Lady Scott, Mrs. Shirley, and
other ladies were present.
The Mayon having opened the business of the
election,
Captain SHIRLEY proposed the re-election of S. H.
Walpole, Esq. This being seconded, and no other can-
didate being proposed, the High Bailiff declared that
gentleman duly returned to represent the borough of
Midhurst in Parliament.
Mr. WALPOLE then returned thanks for his re-election
and the kind reception ho had had at the hands of the
electors of the borough.
A vote of thanks to the High Bailiff concluded the
business.

BUCKINGHAM.
Yesterday the nomination of the Marquis of Chandos
took place at twelve o'clock, without any opposition or
excitement. The Mayor presided.
The Rev. J. COKAR nominated his Lordship.
HUMPHREY HUMPHREYS, Esq., seconded the nomina-
tion, and said he believed Lord Derby would not re-enact
the corn-laws, however desirable.
The Marquis of CHANDOS presented himself, and was
received with applause. Having briefly recapitulated the
opinions that he has heretofore supported, he said that
he intended to continue, for the future, the same line of
conduct.
A party attempted three cheers for the Marquis, but
the meeting was so tame that they could not be got up.
The chairing followed, and no excitement prevailed.

DENBIGHSHIRE.—it is said that the Hon. William
Bagot will resign the representation of this county, and
that Colonel Biddulph will become a candidate in his
stead.
FLINTSIIIRE.—A correspondent states, that the Hon.
E. M. Lloyd Mostyn intends retiring from the repre-
sentation of Flintshire at the dissolution oft he present
Parliament, that Sir John Harmer, Bart., ill s
the Hon. Member, and that Thomas Mostyn, Esq., will
take the place of the latter gentleman as representative
of the boroughs.
LYME REGIS.—WO have two candidates in the field,
an
says a correspondent, John T. Tatchell, Es
Admiralq., a gentle-
man of our county, and a Protectionist; I'.
uornby, C. 8., uncle to the • 'Premier, and one of the
jnior Lords of the Admiralty. No Free-trader appears
on the platform yet.
MID LOTHIAN.—We are requested, says the Edin-
burgh Courant, to state that there is no foundatione
for
rumour that it is the intention of Sir John Hop to
retire from the representation of the county of Edin-
burgh, in order to make room for the new Lord Ad-
vocate.
STAIIFORD.—The re-election of the Right Hon. J. c.
Berries, the new President of the Board of Control, as
one of the Parliamentary representatives of this borough,
which is to take place this day, excites very little in-
terest. There will of course be no opposition, and as the
address to the electors which the lion. Gentleman has
issued is as vague as all the others which have emanated
from members of the Government seeking re-election, it
is probable his explanations will be es brief as possible
and entirely void of information concerning Mtnit
s erial
intentions.—Linco/n Mercury.

MR. COBDEN AT LEEDS.
Havhag raised Lancashire, procVmed free trade in a I
state of siege, co looted 27,000/., and threatened to shut
up the Times, Mr.
Mr. Cobden next appears in Franceei's
Circus at Leeds, haranguing a multitude—hsur tires
larger, he says, than any he ever saw in that borough
before.i His tone hero is much the same 93 before. The
Gaul s at the gates ; our loves and our liberties arc in
imminent peril ; Lord Derby and his tayrmidoes are
sworn to rob our pantries and our larder:4, and cannot
possibly withdraw from the enterprise with honour ;
give no space for repentance, but crush them et once.
:cr. Cobden had iuteuued to consult kis modesty and
his ease by giving up the West. Riding, and retiring to
his snug little borough of Stockport ; but, ever ready at
duty's call, he will sacrifice his convenience to fight the
lest battle of freettrade as the representative of the West
Riding. To augment the solemnity of the occasion, he
advises the people of Leads not to inaugurate the
statue of Peel till they have smitten the dragon
of Protection with his lest--positively his last fatal
wound. Give the enemies no quarter ! Pursue and
spare not 1 Wait not to see what they will. du. If
they are barest men they arc robber.
Belleve. not
their fair words, and doubt not their evil intentions.
Thus does Sal re' Cobden rave by the hour, and, as
nothing cceuries the senses like noise, he dominates at
this moment with undisputed sway from the Mersey to
the Humber. Shout loud enough,
exaggerate largely
enough, and be sufficiently positive, and you will stun the
' memory, stupify reflection, and paralsze the whole
reasoning man. For our part, we can pretend to no such
mastery over the senses. We cannot vie with Franconi,
or make ourselves heard above kettledrums and cornets-
a-piston. We are painfully aware that though the forty
thousand copies of our paper may possibly pass in turn
to a million readers, every one of them sits down to the
perusal of our colums grimly resolved to judge for him-
self. Every one of them says, " Now, what does the
Times say?" and stops at the end of each paragraph to

understanding,
and
not simply to the senses of our readers, we are obliged to
be rational, and can also afford to be so. But, in truth,
whore is the necessity of all this hideous rout and frantic
uproar? Is the ship on fire? Are wo actually going to
the bottom? Are the pirates on board? Are we tied
hand and foot, expecting our doom? Is there any
danger at all? We answer none. In our opinion there
nas been no such sudden change in the state of affairs. It
is true that Lord John Russell is out and Lord Derby is
in, but beyond that the change is imaginary. We are
afraid to say for how long—some will say a quarter of a
century, and some will say a century and a hulf—no
change of Government has made any considerable dif-
ference in the progress of legislation, for when a thing is
once resolved on out of doors, no Minister, no Parlia-
ment can stop it or considerably retard it—much less
reverse it. The Tories used to abuse Lord Inv. Liverpool
for sapping the foundations of the British Constitution,
just as they abused Peel afterwards; but since that Can-
ning, Wellington, Grey, Melbourne, Peel, and Russell,
have simply been doing one another's business; for
there is not a more thorough servant in this nation than
the Prime Minister. If the nation sets one Minister a
piece of work his successor must finish it, and will
.finish it, or give up his situation as well as the
job. This is a simple induction of the portion of
British history that falls within the memory of even our
youngest readers, and the lesson is so manifest as to be-
come a byword against successive Ministers. We know
the mind of the British people, and we also know the
mind of British statesmen; and we know that no British
statesman will ever try conclusions with the British
people. But, as Mr. Cobden exaggerates the rower of
a Minister and of a Parliamentary majority, supposing
one to be gained, so also is he guilty of a far more serious
exaggeration in his account of the party just thrown into
power. On this point our own position is unchanged,
for we see no change, and apprehend no change, ex-
cept that which has been long in progress. We
have had occasion to say, not once, but a hundred
times during the last two cr three years, that the
leading Protectionists all over the country were giving
up the rigour of their principle, commuting their chief
article of faith for more practicable objects, de-
serting Protectionist meetings, and determining to
think for themselves. Last autumn we recorded
the complaints of farmers and land events and id genus
omne, that country gentlemen were fighting shy of pro-
tection, and leaving them in the lurch. The chiefs have
long ceased to demand protection, and contented them-
selves with exploring the condition of the agriculturist,
to sea where the shoe pinched, and how it came to pass
that he could make all ends meet. Bat, as for pledges,
they had also come to an end, and were quite out of fa-
vour at head-quarters. That enlargement of mind, that
softening of prejudices, that acquiescence in free trade
as a fact, was going on when Lord Derby was sum-
moned to form a Government, and has only been slightly
accelerated by that event. Now, much as we respect
Mr. Cobden, we cannot be altogether blind to the facts
of the case. We cannot say, with him, that Lord
Derby's Government has come in pledged to protection,
after having ourselves boasted fifty times during the left
year that its principal members had refused to ask for
pron ction any longer. Having watched, and noted, and
proclaimed this hopeful change, we could not, consis-
tently with truth or decency, pretend to be frightened
when Lord Derby came in. We could not even call him
a Protectionist, except in a conventional sense, much
less could we think free trade in danger.
But, as Mr. Cobden is turning over the old " dig-
gins" to extract another crop of honour and glory from
free trade, and has abused us for not adopting his own
view of the matter, we beg to contrast our two positions,
and to ask which of us two, Mr. Cobden or the Times,
is staking most on the truth and triumph of free trade.
, e
are prepared to show that we are staking every-
thing, and Mr. Cobden nothing. Supposing that Lord
Derby on the opening of his new Parliament expressly
and solemnly renounces protection, either because there
is au evident majority against it, or from considerations
in his own mind, Mr. Cobden then will once more ac-
cept an ovation. He will tell the world what he, and
Lancashire, and the West Riding have done. " We
rushed to cur posts; we gathered in masses. I mane a
speech in Manchester when 27,0001. was collected in 25
minutes. I made a speech at Leeds to 5,000 people. I
denounced the immorality of the
press. I exposed the
treachery of the Protectionists. I let them see what
a pit they were preparing for themselves.
roused the country. I did this. I did that. I did
everything. The Protectionists trembled and hesitated.
They took warning, or the people took warning, as it
might be. And now, behold, wo triumph once more.
He will brag a twelvemonth of this rubbish, and he will
find hearers to suck it all in, though all the time he
will positively have no more to do with the result than
Franooni, his brass band, or his horses. That will be
Cobden's gain out of that result. We, on the contrary,
shall gain nothing by it, for we shall not be able to add
anything to what we now say—viz., that Protection is
done for, and Lord Derby neither will nor can restore it.
We shall only be able to say that the state of things, in
autumn, 1852, is, on the whole, much the same as in
spring, 1852, and in spring, 1852, much the same as it
was in autumn, 1851, there only being a slow and sure
development of salutary convictions in the country
party during the whole period, somewhat hastened
but not produced, by the sense of Ministerial respon-
sibility. That will be all we can say in that
event, and of course we shall gain nothing. Take
the other alternative. Suppose that Lord Derby
gets a majority pledged to protection, and is so infatu-
ated as to use it, and carry, we will say, a five-shilling
duty. In that case Mr. Cobden will get all the credit he
can desire for his superior sagacity, his honesty, faith-
fulness, his prescience, and his wonderful exertions to
rouse the people to a sense of their danger; and ha will,
of course, have a carte blanche for any operations or any
propositions that may be necessary to drive Lord Derby.
from power, and reverse the policy we have suppnsfd
him to be guilty of. We, on the contrary, shall be
laughed at as dupes, or hated as traitors. 1".
moment's reflection will show that Mr. Cobden is play-
ing ing his cards to gain by both revisits, whereas We, by
eg'ain no-
quieter and simpler course we are taking,inso.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS;
TIMES.—Among the ninny duties cf political leader-
ship, not the easiest is that of simplifying the policy, her-
monizing the language, and moderating the expectations
of a mitc_llavecus coosed of supporters. There is hardly
an extreme opinion or a Quixotic design which might
not be feud, not merely in Lord John Russell's Parlia-
mentary majority, but in his official staff, and his Cabi-
net itself; nor was there loss diversity in Sir Robert
Peel's Government, or any that preceded it skim at least
the Liverpool Administration. But the operations of
party and the prospect of office, though they are apt to
inflame the extravagant and egotistical, have the more
general effect of sobering men down to a sense of their
position and a calculation of their power. The chiefs,
of coarse, as being the most responsible, are usually the
most practical, and the consequence is they have very
hard work with declaimers, theorists, bigots, and all the
other rudis indigestaque moles of faction. That some-
thing of these difficulties is to be found even in that
finer material of which Cabinets are composed, might
be abundantly proved by the annals of Downing-
street during the last twenty p ars. We are thus
rather diverted than surprised to find the statements Of
the politicians just come into power varying in the exact
order of their responsibility end importance; the chiefs
being content with general and conditional language,
while those farther down in the scale are more positive
and precise. We have already adverted to the rather
blank announcement of the new President of the Beard
of Trade and the Colonial Secretary. If two examples
be wanted to illustrate the case of less responsibility, and
no responsibility

rious to native industry and capital." It is unnecessary
to sift this sentence, but on the first blush we should
say that Mr. Christopher is not very unlikely to
repeat the episode of the Duke of Buckingham and his
blue ribend in the Peel Ministry; viz., to walk away
with his permanent addition of " right honourable," and
the historical honours of a distinguished, though not
r . Booker, a
thundering ad-
dress, being under no
to which we have no doubt he will revert a year
ovffiercyiarletsrpaomnsmibelle s whatever,ofilceM advertises
hence with mournful satisfaction. We have now several
Ministerial speeches before us. Lord John Manners has
addressed his constituents from the hustings, and has
answered some impertinent questions. But, before we
concern ourselves with his answers, let us ask what his
Lordship is in the Cabinet. He is what Lord Seymour
was, and may easily do his duty as well. There is
no reason why he should not select a position for
an arch, or a design for a lamppost; why he should
not plan a drive or lay out a shrubbery as :well as
his predecessor; why he should not be
,as civil to
the Royal Commissioners or the apple-women is
Hyde-park. But, as Lord Seymour had, we pre-
sume, a very diminished head in the delibe-
rations of the Cabinet, Lord John Manners will pro-
bably exhibit to his chief that affectionate submission
which accords so welt with his natural loyalty of temper.
We take it, therefore, as a very small affair that, in re-
ply to a mixed demand for his opinions on the ballot and
on free trade, he entered into some superfluous specula-
tions on the latter point. His Lordship does not see
why beer and soap and tea should be taxed in order that
foreign bread and meat should be untaxed. It is not
very necessary to clear his Lordship's perplexity, but
we are quite sure that ninety-nine hundredths of the
people will understand by the light of their own under-
standings; and the sensations of their own stomachs,
why, if taxes must be paid, the superfluities of life should
be taxed, and that the necessaries of life may be untaxed;
and why also taxes should be paid to the State, and to
no other party than the State. This answer, we fear,
will not be so satisfactory to his Lordship as to
prevent him from still retaining his opinion, " that
a great reform and revision of the tariff is
asked for at the hands of Government." He will proba-
bly still trust " that the verdict of the sound-judging
people of England will be given in favour of tariff re-
form." Believing, as we do, that tho consummation
which Lord John Manners so ardently desires is simply
impossible, we may perhaps bo expected tb regret the
presence of the noble enthusiast in the Cabinet. Bat, in
the first place, Lord John Manners, as, indeed, he ad-
mitted on this occasion, is one of those who are so ner-
vously anxious to avow what they call their principles
and opinions, that they will often publish as such what-
ever comes to the tip of their tongues or the surface of
their imaginations. Everybody knows that Lord John
Manners is sentimental to excess, so we sot down his
sentiment at its proper worth. If he writes poetry de-
ploring the dissolution of abbeys, the banishment of
the Stuart de/misty, the disuse of the maypole or the
baronial gallows, the substitution of muskets for
crossbows, or of printed prayer-books for richly illu-
minated missals, we none of us expect that he will
seriously set to work reviving those obsolete affeirs, or
that he will insist on Lord Derby
.bringing in a Bill to
repeal the Act of Succession. No. The Ministerial re-
presentative of the house of Rutland will be content to
adorn the Cabinet with his poetry and his presence. He
will give no unnecessary annoyance. "We are called a
practical people," he justly says. "It is the boast of
Englishmen that they are not carried away by theoreti-
cal doctrines, and Utopian dreams of perfection which
cannot be realised," So, among other "Utopian dreams
of perfection," which hie Lordship will surrender year
by year as he grows older, we have no doubt we may
set down wheat at an average of 565. a quarter, and
beef at 10d. a pound. In rather striking contrast
to the Noble Commissioner of Woods and Forests,
we have an address from Mr. Herries to the electors
of Stamford, a speech by Sir John Pakington to his
constituents at Droitwicb, and anather by Lord Henry
Lennox at Chichester. The Right Hon. President of
the Indian Board says, in the best official language, that
his "political principles" are unchanged; a fact which
we believe to be quite compatible with a judicious appli-
cation of those principles, as circumstances may require.
Sir John Pakington is reedy to bow to the decision of
the country, whatever it may be, as expressed at the
general election. He has always avowed his opinion in
favour of a moderate fixed duty, and sees no reason to
alter that opinion; but he evidently does not think it
sacred enough to require tither a martyrdom or a resig-
nation. If the country won't have it, the country need
not, as far as he is concerned. Lord Henry Lennox
thinks that the pressure of taxation is unequal,
and he hopes for an amicable settlement of our
fatal class warfare; but he denies that Lord
Derby is pledged to anything more than to obey the will
of the people, as announced by the next general elec-
tion. That general election, from all accounts, is not
very far distant. Lord John Russell, it is said, will
take the earliest opportunity of grasping at the prize
which he has let slip out of his hands before it be gone
too far down the stream. His plan, and we believe, his
principal supporters have agreed to i; is to vote the
supplies for a limited period (as was done in 1841), and
force Lord Derby to resign, that, if they beat him again
athrsatthaefter concern this
will
then go on more prosperously than ever, that is, with
in the new Parliament, they may set the old Ministry
• once more on its legs by autumn. As his Lordship has
