' ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA;
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the
Generative System, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis. Translated from
the German of Dr. PICKFORD, of the University of Heidelberg.
—"
Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall
detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his
power to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851.
—"
The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this
distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare
the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to
cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object
than to nil their own purses. The difference between true Sperma-
torrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are
accurately described, and thus a safe guide is offered for the
treatment of the malady "—Medical Circular, May 5, 1852.
- We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preliminary
chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of
the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate
price at which the ' brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of
every one interested in the matter. —Dublin Medical Press, April
38,1852.

IKEA BY CAUTERIZATI3N ; its Inefficiency and Danger.
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
" Thote who complain most loudly are those only who know not
how to use the common instruments ..... Thepractice of sur-
geons has been mar :ed with all kinds of violence, an indifference
about the simple cure of diseases, and a passion for operations and
all the excesses sad horrors of surgery.”—John liell's Surgical
Observations.—" In prof of his views he (Mr. Courtenay) has
given the history of a great many cases succeasnillY treated, as bad
as any which Mr. Syme adduced, and on which he had operated
Such ire cases ix., xi., xii., and xviii. No. ix. had resisted, for a
period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was neatly
removed in as many weeks. But cases xviii. and xix. appear, both
in duratioi, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag.
gravated character than any detailed by Mr. Syme, and yet the
treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently successful..

EMIGRANTS.—Many years ago, journeys into
far distant countries were less frequently undertaken ;
indeed, the inducements were less, and the passage more expensive
and tedious. Yet even then an Outfitting Department was kept by
E. MOSES and SON, and was liberally encouraged by all persons
about to leave England. But now, when thousands are emigrating
—when distance is forgotten, and prospects brighten with glorious
anticipations of riches in abundance.—the Outfitting Department of
E. MOSES and SON'S magnificent trade assumes a prominence
truly surprising. Why should it be otherwise 2 They have un-
equalled facilities, from long experience and universal connexions;
they have a stock unequalled in the world for extent, suitability, and
quality ; they have had more patronage in this department than any
other house ; they pay immediate attention to all applications made

party comes forward to substitute for protection a mea-
sure which shall simply tend to benefit the landowners
of the country, and to benefit them at your expense, I con-
tend that such a proposition is far less tenable ten thousand
times weaker, than the principle of Protection as against
free trade.—(Load cheers.) For, mind you, before with-
drawing any taxes from the land of the country, the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer will have tb meet us in argnment
in the House of Commons. Now we shall not need any
argument at all, for when Mr. Disraeli brought forward a
motion to transfer the burdens from the land to the shoul-
ders of the people, my Right Hon. Friend, the then Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer (Sir Charles Wood) demonstrated
oaftated that I can confirm his statement, that
any ground for such transfer.—(Cheers.)

I ever met with in my n.e.:--(cheers and laughter.) The

face of the land, we'll pay no probate or legacy. duty
upon
the land ourselves.—(Hear, hear.) Now that is the begin-
ning of their compact.—(Cheers and laughter.) And what
do they say afterwards? They say, "We propose to take
off the heavy burdens that fall upon the soil, and to
transfer them to the Consolidated Fund." Now the
Consolidated Fund means the income derived from tea,
and sugar, and coffee, and the rest of our indirect
taxation; and the cool proposal is this, that the landlords
will take off the taxes which they pay themselves and place
them on that kind of taxation which the farmers pay in
common with yourselv
es.—(Hear, hear.) That, I think, is
remarkably cool.—(Cheers.) Now, is it not odd, very odd,
that any tenant farmers, real tenant farmers, should be
found to join in such a partnership as that?—(Cheers.) I
can only account for it in this way. I think I see a farmer
before me, and I will watch his countenance, to see whether
my interpretation touches him or not.—(Cheers and
laughter.) The farmers think., no doubt, that it is a very
proud distinction that they should be united with the great
aristocratic party—(Cheers and laughter)—and that when
the Duke of Richmond goes into Chichester they no doubt
think it very desirable that he should be accompanied by a
party of farmers to maintain the great cause of protectionto
native industry.—(Cheers.) I have no doubt the farmers of
this country have been blinded to their own interest by the
appeals which have been made to their vanity.—(Laughter.)
I see my friend the farmer there rubbing his face as if hefelt
the remark.—(Cheers.) Now we have many fables and stories
which explain metaphorically this habit of appealing to the
vanity of the weaker party to join an undertaking with
the stronger party. One of these illustrations occurs to my
mind in that great battle in which a giant and a dwarf took
part. The giant and the dwarf went forth to battle, and the
giant put forward the dwarf, saying, " Now go at them, my
jolly little tellow—(Laughter)—you are the man to cut about
their calves and feet, and you'll make them give vsay.,, The
little dwarf took the giant at his word, and went into the
fight, but he soon lost an arm in the affray, whilst the giant
escaped unharmed.—(Laughter.) But the giant praised and
flattered the little fellow until he persuaded him to go into
battle again, and had lost an at and a leg, and it was only
when he had got considerablY maimed that he found out
how greatly he had been humbugged.--(Lould laughter and
cheers.) I will give you another illustration. You remem-
ber the fable of the chickens that would have a dance with
a donkey. It was very captivating to the poor little
things to be allowed to quadrille and waltze with so stately
an animal as a donkey.—(Loud laughter and cheers.) But
they soon found out that they got trod upon and maimed,
and had their wings lacerated, and they soon came to
the conclusion that they were paying vastly too dear for
the indulgence of their vanity.—(Laud cheers, and cries of
Question.") I intend to confine myself strictly to
the question before us. Now, if there be any gentleman
here who, after all, is a Protectionist, keep your eye upon
him. He has no business to be here, for we are all Free-
traders.—(Loud cheers.) Now, gentlemen, we have to deal
with a Government which, if I understand aright—and it is
not very easy to understand the explanations of Mr; Disraeli
in Buckinghamshire—(Laughter)—we have a Government
which now intend to change their ground, and having for
some years led the farmers a precious dance after the phan-
tom of protection, they are now going to elevate them into
the regions of romance in search of that still more untenable
phantom, a re-distribution of taxation.—(Laughter and
cheers.) I think we ought to deal with the Government in
the first place as a Protectionist Government, and I hope that
forty-eight hours will not elapse after the meeting of Parlia-
ment before that Government and the party belonging to
them are brought fairly at issue on the question of free trade
or protection.—(Cheers.) Let us have it settled "aye" or
"no."—(Continued cheering.) Let us ascertain whether
they are Free-traders or Protectionists. If they are Free-
traders--if they really and honestly recant the opinions
they have so long been professing in Opposition—l do not
know that it would be my business as a Free-trader to mo-
lest them, even if they do occupy the right hand of the
Speaker's chair.—(Cheers and laughter.) But if I were a
Protectionist—if I were one of the farming class who believe
in the Protectionists—if I found that my party had gone to
that land of promise, the Treasury benches—(Laughter)--
by professing to act on Protectionist principles—if I found
them recanting their opinions the moment they got into
power, I should be disposed to say to them, ' Gentlemen, if
you do intend to recant and repent, you must do so in sack-
cloth and ashes, and not on the Treasury bench"—(Loud
cheers and laughter)—and I think the present Government,
if their friends in the country do them justice, must not ex-
pect to remain long in office.—(Cheers.) That of course will
ba no matter of regret to anybody here, for we are all Free-
'traders.......(Cheers.) Now, gentlemen, we have had an
extremely good-humoured meeting, such a unanimous meet-
ing as never took place before at a West Riding election. It
may, perhaps, be a little dull; of course it cannot be so
lively as when there is an opposition. I myself require a
little antagonism to get up my spirits.—(Laughter.) But,
at all events, we are assembled to pronounce a decision
which 1 venture to say will be final on the one question of
free trade or protection.—(Loud cheers.) I feel it is a suffi-
cient honour for one man that he has been twice placed in
such a position by your unanimous vote as to become the
exponent, par excellence, of your opinions. (Cheers.) I
thank you, gentlemen, from my heart for the testimony you
have given me of your confidence. I thank those gentlemen
who have nominated and seconded me for their kind and
friendly expressions towards me. I shall go to Parliament
prepared to defend and extend the principle of free trade in,
every possible form, and to prevent anybody, no matter how
dexterous he may be, by any juggling device, from depriving
you of the benefits which lam happy to say the great mass
of the people are now enjoying, and which they know they
are enjoying in consequence of the legislative measures car-
ried out by Sir Robert Peel.—(Loud cheering.)
Mr. FIELDEN stepped forward to ask a question as soon as
Mr. Cobden sat down. Mr. Fielden said he was no Free-
trader, but was for protection to British industry.—(Hisses.)
He 'wished to ask Mr. Cobden whether he persisted in the
proposition he made in 1847 for reducing taxation by
10,000,000/. ?

WEST -RIDING.
WAKEFIELD, SATuRDAY JULY 17.—The nomination for
the West Riding of the county. of York took place this day
at eleven o'clock, in front of the Court-house.
Mr. E. B. Denison, accompanied by Mr. Edwin Lascelles,
Mr. John Rand, and many of his friends, arrived about a
quarter before eleven, and took their station on the left com-
partment of the hustings. They were preceded by a band of
music and several banners, the leading one inscribe " De-
nison and the Constitution." Mr. Cobden reached the hust-
ings a few minutes after eleven, attended by Sir Charles
Wood, M.P., Mr, W. M. E. Milner, M.P., and Mr. Francis
Carbutt, and followed by a great number of his supporters,
who took up their position on the left of the hustings. The
Free-trade party were preceded by a band of music, and two
large orange flags inscribed respectively, "Cobden and Free
Trade with all the World," and " No indirect Tax on the
People's Food." Mr. Cobden, on presenting himself to the
assembly, was received with the most enthusiastic cheering.
Mr. W. GRAY, the under-sheriff, officiated in the absence
of Sir John Henry Lowther, the high : sheriff. The usual
preliminaries having been gene through, and Mr. Gray
having requested a hearing from all parties,
Mr. W. IYI, E. MILNER, M.P., proposed Mr. Cobden as a
fit and proper; person to represent the West Riding tin Par-
liament. The electors were now called upon to .pronounce
in favour of free-trade or protection, and to give a verdict
which would decide the duty of the ministry, and for ever
establish free-trade as one of the acts of this country.—
(Cheers.) Although Mr. Coberi was not a Yorkshireman—
although he was not one of the territorial gentlemen—(A
Voice: He's better than that)—he was a man of whom the
constituency of the West Riding or any other constituency
might justly feel proud.— (Loud Cheering.)
Mr. FRANCIS CARBUTT (of Leeds) seconded the nomina-
tion.

The lion. Enwnz LASCELLES then nominated Mr. Backe

Denison„whose talents, industry, and energy, in the manage-
ment of the business of the Riding fully entitled him to the
confidence and support of the constituency.
Mr. Joint RAND, of Wheatley Hall, Bradford, seconded
the nomination. :-• - . ' .
No other candidate having been proposed, the Under-
Sheriff declared Mr. Cobden and. Mr. Denison to be duly
elected ; an announcement which was, received with loud and
enthusiastic cheers.
Mr. COBDEN, who was welcomed with immense cheering,
and clapping of hands, then said—Mr. Deputy Sheriff and
gentlemen, electors and freeholders of the West Riding of
the county of York, before I say a word or two upon the
questions which are more immediately at issue upon this
I will, with your permission, state the circum-
stancesunder which I appear before yon for the second
occasion ,
time, to ask the favour of your votes and support for the
representation of this important district; and I wish to make
this explanation now, when it cannot be misunderstood by
any one, for, as my election is secure, I have no favour to
ask, and no forbearance to purchase.—(Cheers.) But I
think it due to this vast constituency that I should, at the
very earliest moment, in this open manner, state my views
and intentions with respect to the representation of this
riding. I think it better, both for you and myself, that I
should not have to tell any of my personal friends what my
feelings have been and still are ; and, therefore, I will say
here openly to every one interested in the representation
that, until the advent of the Derby Ministry to power, I
had decided, as my friends immediately around me well
know, not to appear again in the West Riding to ask for
your suffrages. I had reason to calculate that I should
be safely returned for another constituency; but believing
when Lord Derby came into power that he and those who
act with him were sincere and honest in their past profes-
sions—believing that they intended to reverse the principles
of free trade, which I had hoped were for ever permanently
and for ever, established—knowing the handle that would
have been made of my resignation of the West Riding—
knowing right well what use would have been made of it in
Devonshire and Dorsetshire, where the farmers, who have
been abundantly deluded already, would have been again
practised upon by the cry that " Richard Cobden has

here to Leeds without stipulating for any support, without
asking any one to pay a single shilling towards the contest.
I came down here the moment Lord Derby was installed
in power, and threw down the gauntlet on free trade
principles, and challenged all corners to meet me here on
the widest and noblest arena that the political divisions of
this country presents—(Cheers)— and I have reason to
know that the course which I took on that occasion had a
very great tendency indeed, and went very far with the pre-
sent Administration and all parties who were wavering on
the subject, to decide that free trade was irrevocably estab-
lished.—(Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, why did I determine,
if free trade were settled, not to appear again in the West
Riding of Yorkshire? I will be frank with you, and state
my views openly and publicly. You have heard a good
deal said about my worthy colleague being a Yorkshireman.
—(Hear, hear.) lam not a Yorkshireman. but lam Briton.
—(Loud cheers.) I know of no reason in law or in equity
why, if the occasion should require it, you should not go
out of your own borders to find a candidate to represent you.
—(Cheers.) If, for example, you wished, as you undoubtedly
did on the question of free trade, to pronounce your opinions
in a manner the most emphatic, and you chose to select an
individual who had taken a more prominent part than many
others on that question as your representative, I think you
exercised a wise discretion by showing the strong feeling
which existed on that subject in this great constituency.—
(Loud cheers.) But that question being disposed of—my
name having no papticular connexion with any other topic—
it net being likely that my name should be so prominently
mixed up with any other great principle as it has been with
the principle of free trade—for it does not fall to the lot of
any individual to have the honour (and I deem it a great
honour) of seeing his name, his person, individualizing as it
were a great and a paramount principle—a feeling that free
trade was settled, and that you had no motive to go beyond
your own borders for a candidate—l agree in the opinion
which has been expressed, that you have a perfect right to
send a Yorkshireman to represent you in Parliament—
(Cheering)—and I have no doubt whatever that on all other
questions, and for many elections to come, Yorkshiremen
will seek Yorkshiremen to represent their interests in Par-
liament.—(Cries of " No, no," and " We'll have you—we
won't have any one else.") Gentlemen, we are met here
to-day to pronounce again upon that one great question—
free trade or protection.—(Cries of " No, no," followed by
loud cries of " Yes, yes." I thought I heard the gentle-
men in the other booth both avow that an understanding
existed between both sides that the blue and the orange
were, on this occasion, nut to come into collision with each
other.—(Cheers.) I understood you had agreed for once,
and I believe it is an unique instance in your political his-
tory to twine the blue and the orange into one wreath in
support of the principles of free trade.—(Loud cheering )
We read in history of two armies which stood motionless
and quiescent under the influence the' awful and startling
influence—of a great convulsion of nature; and here we
see two political parties that never made peace before, and
never even enjoyed a true— (Cheers and laughter)—we find
them now suspending their hostilities in the presence of a
great and beneficent principle, from the carrying out of which,
I trust, all parties will derive equal advantages.—(Loud
cheers.) Having met under those circumstances, I will not
be the individual to trespass upon any forbidden or unneces-
sary topic. I should not be here were it not for the purpose
of again giving my decisive and emphatic protest against
protection.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I meet you all here as
free-traders. Is there any dissentient ?—(Loud and repeated
cheers, and cries of " No, no.") Then we are all free-traders.
But, gentlemen, are we sure we all perfectly understand
what free trade means?—(A Voice—" Give us a definition.")
Because I am anxious, whilst we adopt the principles of free
trade in this riding, we should take care not to allow pro-
tection to meet us in some kind of disguise.—(Cheers.)
I have no doubt whatever of the perfect integrity of the
intentions of my Honourable Colleague—(Cheers)—becanse
I have seen him in the House of Commons not only oppose
protection in its open and avowed form, but I have seen
him oppose it in the sinister guise in which it
has been sometimes presented.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, it
is right it should be known elsewhere that the West
Riding of the county of York is agreed not only
to oppose protection as such, but to oppose that
new scheme which has been well and emphatically
explained by a gentleman in the meeting who exclaimed,
" They want to protect their pockets at the expense of ours."
—(Cheers.) Now, I do not think it makes much difference
whether Mr. Disraeli takes money out of ypur bread-basket
or out of your pockets.—(Cheers and laughter.)
We intend
to prevent his doing either the one or the other.—(Great
cheering.) Let this be clearly understood. It is important
that this should be known elsewhere. It is most desirable
that the opinion of this vast constituency ehould be clearly
comprehended and that they do not intend to countenance
any of that shifting of taxation, which will enable those who
possess property in land to place heavier burdens on those
who have no other property than theirlabour.—(Loud
cheering.) It is difficult to know exactly what our dexter-
ous Chancellor of the Exchequer is about to do.—(Cheiars
and laughter.) I have always thought, from the year 1846
down to last year, and even up to the beginning of the pre-
sent year, that the leader of the Protectionist party in the
House of Commons was a Protectionist.—(Hear, hear.) I
thought "by protection" he meant not merely a tax upon
corn for the protection of the agriculturist, but'` protection"
to all the interests of the country—" protection" to shipping,
" protection" to manufactures, " protection" to sugar,
" protection" to the colonies—that is what I understood
by the principle of "protection."—.(Hear, hear.)
I thought as a Free-trader I had been opposing a party
which possessed a principle, and that that principle was op-
posed to free trade. But I see the tone is now altogether
changed—(Cheers)--and changed in a way which I think
exposes the selfishnessof the party—the undisguised selfishness
of the party who are now advocting.a change of taxation for
the benefit of particular interests.—(Hear, hear.)
do I find? No scheme for protecting the manufactures, no

plan for protecting the shipowners, no propos . .

Mr. COBDEN said his proposal was that we should go back
to the expenditure of 1835, and he pointed out how we
might do it by modifications of our arrangements in the colo-
nies, and by other plans, and he adhered to the same opi-
nion now.--(Cheers.) We had to thank the Protectionists
for not having made more progress in the reduction and
modification of our expenditure. They had stopped the way
of all other progress in the country._(" No, no ;" "Hear,
hear ;" "Shame")—by occupying the public attention with
their absurd notions of protection, which even some present,
it seemed, had not gained wisdom enough to abandon.—
(" Hear, hear," and cheers.)
Mr. FIKLDEN asked whether Mr. Cobden was aware that
the taxation last year was 4,000,0004 more than before the
Reform Act ?

Mr. COBDEN answered, that for this we had to thank the
Members for agricultural counties, the county Members who
represented the Protectionists, and who always opposed pro-
posals to reduce the expenditure.— (Cheers.)
Mr. FIELDED further asked whether Mr. Cobden was
aware that, if the taxes were paid in wheat, it would take
millions more quarters now to pay them than formerly?
Mr. COBDEN rejoined, that if we paid more corn for our
taxes, we received more corn ourselves to eat.—(Cheers').
Mr. FIELDED next inuired whether Mr. Cobden, having
advocated " the big loaf,' would advocate " th® big pot

Some little time was then occupied by Mr. Jackson, who
said he had always been a supporter of Mr. Cobden, but
who objected to the admission of American manufactured

Mr. B. Dummy' then presented himself, and was received

the kingdom, had risen to 105,024,000 L, so that the annual
value of that property had increased within the course of the
last eight years 10,000,0001 —(Hear, hear.) I confess when
I saw those figures I was astounded. I think that the Hon.
Gentleman who was good enough to second my nomination
said that this kingdom had made a ;progress in wealth and
prosperity within the last ten years such as it had never
done before in a similar period. I quite agree with him, and
I say advisedly, that accordiug to my apprehension and con-
viction this country never made such a stride in wealth pros-
perity, happiness, and comfort os it has done within the last
ten years.—(Cheers.) But I must admit that there has been
one portion of her Majesty's subjects who have during that
time gone through a severe ordeal. Those undoubtedly are
the occupiers of land.— (Hear, hear.) Again I must remind
you that I voted against the abolition of the corn-laws, be-
cause I was apprehensive that that suffering, and even worse
would be gone through. But the worst is over, and I believe
that the occupiers of land, with their energies, with taxa-
tion reduced, with the duties on what they consume reduced,

hear.) That they will rise above all difficulties, I have not
the slightest doubt, and I beg and pray of them not to look
back, but to look forward, and not because
they have lost protection with regard to the corn, to believe
tbat they are ever to remain in the position of adversity in
which they have been. They are entitled undoubtedly
to every consideration on the part of their landlords, who, I
have no doubt, as a body, will give them that considera-
tion; and I have also little doubt that, receiving that con-
sideration from their landlords, and alleviation from a
reduction of taxation, they will
become as happy
and contented a part of the community as any one part of
her Majesty's subjects.—(Applause.) Therefore I assume

or what you like—though I say the term "Free-traders" is
somewhat a misnomer, for it ought to be reducers of the
duties on taxed articles, but the name is not of much ,eoi3„,_
quence, provided we get the substance.— (Hear, holm) I
have now done with that part of the subject, and I shall
proceed to advert to the state of the population of the king..
dom. I have stated in my address that lIA thoroughly
convinced that a larger sum of money ghl` eu to be granted
for the education of the children of the humbler clams.--
(Applause.) I hope that gentlemen who dissent from the
Church of England will not believe that I intend to say any.
thing disrespectful•en them in advancing this opinion. I say
it because I believe that by the voluntary system the ebiklren
of the kingdom cannot be sufficiently educated.—(Applause,
and some disapprobation.) I state in my address that the first
duty of every individual is to see his child thoroughly and
religiously educated ; and certainly, from what I have seen
abroad and read of in France and other countries, I sal
con-
vinced that there is no real safety for the monarchy under
which we have lived so long and so happily—that there is
no security for sustaining that monarchy, unless through
the rising population of this kingdom having their educa-
tion founded on strictp religious principles.--(Applanse.)
It is that which will guide a man through life when grown
up, and by adopting this system you will be able to train
up a child in the way he should go.—(Applause.) I speak
now as a magistrate, and often have I lamented when I have
had to pass sentence on a boy of 14 years of age, who had
actually been driven to acts of criminality because he had
not been better taught in his childhood.---(Hear.) There-
fore I ask those who may conscientiously dissent from
my particular views not to withhold their aid from a na-
tional effort to enable the whole children of the kingdom to
be religiously educated. I know they are with me in opi-
nion that the safety of the kingdom does depend on the
education of the children, and all I want is, that those
should not be left uneducated and untaught.—(Cheers.) If
all lam addressing here were uneducated—if you did not
know the value of the Bible—your duty to your God—l am
sure you would not observe at all times your duty to your
neighbours or to vourselves.—(Hear, hear.) It is this makes
me anxious that the system of education I have spoken of
should be persevered in—aye, with a most liberal hand— by
those who hold the pursestrings of the nation.—(Cheers.)
One word more, and I have done. It is in reference to the
Maynooth question, on which many of you hold strong opi-
nions.—(Hear, hear) I have only to say that I voted
against that grant. I thought it was wrong in principle,
and I thought it would be inoperative in its effects. With
respect to the last point, I can form an opinion, and I am
sorry to say I have been a true prophet.—(Hear, hear, and
laughter.) It has been inoperative. But the question is
what is to be done, the grant having been made t I will not
deceive you. lam willing to go into an inquiry on the sub-
ject before the House of Commons • but I will not pledge my-
self either to oppose
or uphold the grant until I hear what
can be said on both sides. My desire is to uphold and sup-.
port the Protestant institutions of the kingdom.—(Cheers.)]l
intend no disrespect to the members of the Roman Catholic
persuasion, but this I must say, that a
good and sincere
Roman Catholic must always have principles at variance
with the principles and doctrines of a true Protestant, and
therefore I have no right to expect that he will change his
principles to accommodate himself to mine. I consider the
citadel of the kingdom is Protestant, the Queen and her
Protestant subjects are within that Protestant citadel, and
there is no point for which I will fight harder or longer
than to uphold the Protestant institutions of the country.
—(Loud cheers.) I have served you, as I have said, for ten
years, and you have again elected me as your representa-
tive. In all human probability, this will be the last time
that I shall have the honour of addressing you as a candi-
date,—(Cries of "No 1") I shall act independently, as I
have hitherto done, as long as I am your representative. I
consider myself the representative of all. When you ap-
proach me on matters of business, I shall psk no questions as
to what sect you belong to, either with ngspect to religion or
politics.—(Applause.) I will do my best to_promote your
interest and to protect the prosperity of the West Riding of
Yorkshire.—(Loud cheers.)

with considerable applause. He said,—Mr. Under-Sheriff
and electors of the West Riding of Yorkshire, I have served
you for ten years as your representative in Parliament. My
conscience tells me I have acted independently, and I hope
you will admit that I have acted faithfully.— (Hear, hear.)
You have done me the honour again to accept me as one of
your representatives without any opposition. How much I
may be cross-examined before I sit down of course I cannot
say—(A laugh)—but I shall be quite ready to answer any
questions that may be put to me; all I hope is that the
questions may be short. and I promise you that the answers
shall be equally brief.—(Laughter.) I am particularly
anxious, but not more so, I think, than you will admit I
ought to be, with respect to my own character for con-
sistency, and therefore I wish for my own sake to detain you
for a moment or two while I advert to what I said on these
hustings, and in print, in various and bygone times, in
reference to the abolition of the corn-laws. I stated to
you most distinctly in 1847, on these hustings, that though
I opposed the abolition of those laws, yet I considered the
majority for their abolition being so great in the House of
Commons, and so overwhelming in the House of Lords, that
it was my duty, at all events, to assent to that decision ; and
I advised every one from that time to give their quiet and
cordial assent to it also. I will not advert to circumstances
which took place a t that time which relieved you from being
represented by me, but in 1848, when Lord Carlisle died, I
being strongly asked to become a candidate, again advised
my friends to seek one in another quarter; bet the gentle-
man to whom an offer was made having thought proper to
withdraw, I was again earnestly requested to come forward
as a candidate to represent you. I thought it my duty to
comply with that request; and I then more dis-
tinctly—if I could more distinctly—told all my friends'
in my address in print, to which I can refer, on the
hustings, in manufacturing as well as in agricultural dis-
tricts, that nothing should induce me to vote for anything
like a return to protection on corn. Nevertheles it was your 1
pleasure to elect me, and no one word did I hear at the
time from any one individual who was my former supporter
that be objected to my being returned because I had made
flat declaration with respect to the corn-laws, and I was •
undoubtedly returned by the electors of the West Riding al
Yorkshire by a very large manority. . Fronts-Waist time I
have uniformly opposed in the House of Commons every
direct or indirect attempt to return to protection, whether
by the imposition of a small duty, or by any other mode,
suggested by one party or the other.—( Hear hear.) The
main reason, I confess, whyl allude to this subjeet is this,—
I know perfectly well I have lost favour with many of my
former supporters on account of the course I have pursued
on this question. I humbly submit to them that I have
not deceived them—that I stated emphatically what I should
do, and therefore I must say I think it rather hard on a
public man, after he has made such public and distinct
avowals as to what his course of conduct. would be, that
he should forfeitfor-

plause.) If any man living ought to go into Parliament in-
dependent of all control and pledges, it should be the man
who represents the largest constituency in the
at once avow I am not merely the representative of one
class, but the representative of all; and if those who have
blamed me for taking this view of the question will only be
good enough to consider that there are millions of persons
interested in cheap food as well as in the cheapness of
other articles, I think they will see that, at all events,
I have not acted an inconsistent, though they have a
perfect right to think I have acted an injudicious part.
But the question of protection is at last gone and dead.—
(Loud cheers, which were very heartily repeated by the
friends of Mr. Cobden.) I certainly did expect that when
the present Government came into power they would have
I asked her Maiesty's leave to dissolve the Parliament for
the purpose of testing that question (Hear, hear)—but it is
only by degrees that it is intimated that that question is
not again to be raised in Parliament. I have in my pocket
a speech delivered the other day by the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, in which he distinctly states that he never did
intend to return to protection. lam most thankful that he
has made that admission so broadly and plainly as he has
done, because it sets the vexed question completely and for
ever at rest.—(Cheers.) But now, protection being gone, I
want to appeal to my agricultural friends. I hope I may
still call them my friends. I can only say I entertain for
them as high a respect as ever, and I will work for them as
hard as I ever have done.—(Applause.) But I confess it
must be somewhat in my own way.— (" A knocking-down
way," from some one in the crowd, followed by laughter and
cheers.) I shall try to address myself to my agricultural
friends both here and elsewhere, because what I say will be
printed at all events, if not read.—(Applause and laughter.)
I say, then, to the agriculturists of this great riding.—have
you nothing else to look to but protection for corn ? Are you
not as much interested in the reduction of duties on sugar, on
coffee, and on almost all the necessaries of life ? Why, there
is no manufacturer in the West Riding who has a larger
interest in a remission of the duties on exciseable and cus-
toms' articles than you, the agriculturists. Do your wives
tell you that sugar is already too cheap? Do they tell you
that coffee will not bear a further reduction, or that tea is at
too low a price?—(No, and laughter.) But then these are all
free-trade questions—they sre reductions of duty. Call them
free trade, or what you like, the fair exponent of them is that
they are reductions of duty, and every person living is in-
terested in those reductions, even from her Majesty on the
throne downwards to the humblest labourer.—(Applause.) '
Do you think that her Majesty is anxious that her sugar
should cost her 101 per pound when she may get it for 5d.?
I can assure you, and I do not speak off the book, that her
Majesty pays her bills as regularly as any man I address.—
(Applause.) Nay, I tell you more. She knows the price of
every article she orders before she orders it. She does not
order on credit and take the chance of being able to pay ;
and she sets her subjects in this respect, as in many others, a
most excellent example, which I wish they would all follow.
—(Cheers.) Again, with respect to the reduction of duties,
as I have told you in my address, within the last ten years,
while I have served you in Parliament, Sir R. Peel, and
Right Hon.
Lord J. Russell following him, along with my
Friend the late Chancellor of the Exchequer, have reduced
duties to the amount of 12,000,0001.; and the most extra-
ordinary thing is this—the most astounding fact that ever
and y hav
I knew in my life—that the revenue has risen to about the
same amount it was at before they began that system. So

have got the relief
of
10,0000,0001. or 12,000,0001. of taxation, ou g
all these articles infinitely cheaper than you did formerly.—
(Cheers.) Then I must respectfully ask the question,
why is this Government or any other not to go on in the
same line of progress? Again I must ask,—Is tea too

like manner will his successor have to act. What interest
has Mr. Disraeli or Lord Derby not to reduce taxation?
They are members of the community and want to reduce the
amount of taxation. Therefore my object is to try to im-
press on the agriculturists, who have lost protection, that
they must rely on other sources and means for relief; theyn

The newly-elected Members were then girded with their
swords as knights for the West Riding. When Mr. Cobden
presented himself armed with this instrument of war, re-
peated jocose allusions to his " peace " doctrines occasioned
some little amusement.

Thanks having been voted to the Under-Sheriff, on the
motion of Mr. COBDEN, seconded by Mr. B. DENISON,
Sir C. WOOD, who was repeatedly called for, stepped for-
ward, and was received with cheers. He said he was afraid
that he was out of order in addressing them, but as it was
so long since he had appeared on those hustings he
might be permitted in a few words to congratulate them on
the triumph of those principles which they had so long ad-
vocated.—(Cheers.) In this riding of Yorkshire he little
expected to see the " orange" and " blue " united in sup-
port of sound principles in such unanimity.—(Applause.)
Thus truth must ever in the end prevail, and glad he was
to hear, on the present occasion, no dissentient voice to dis-
turb their harmony. The West Riding had now sent two
Members to Parliament to represent one opinion, the opinion
of the Riding, that the food, the necessaries, and comforts of
the people, should not be stinted by any class legislation.—
(Loud cheers.) He congratulated them all on the result of
the present election, which would tell the Government, in
language not to be mistaken, that the people would not suffer
them to go back from that legislation which had proved so
calculated for the benefit of the masses.—(Loud cheers.)
Three cheers were then given for the Queen, and three more
for free trade.
At the conclusion of the proceedings Mr. Cobden and a
large party sat down to a cold Follation at the Corn Ex-
change, Sir Charles Wocd presiding. Mr. Denison and a
number of his supporters dined at the Strafford Arms.

AYRS HI RE.
The nomination for this county took place on Saturday.
Colonel Blair was proposed by Colonel Ferrier Hamilton, and

for the county, and seconded by Mr. Campbell, of Craig.
The show of hands was in favour of Mr. Cardwell, on which
a poll was demanded and fixed for Tuesday (to-morrow) and
Wednesday.
