Government by the - -Irish populacea.a senti-

meat that has already led to most calamitous breaches
of the peace in Ireland.
By this shameful revival of the ferocious bigotry
of former days the supporters of the pmsent Ministry
have gained a few votes in the House of Commons ;
but they have mode Ireland ungovernable by Lord
Derby. No Minister, however large his majorities
in Parliament, however high his reputation, can rule
this united empire with benefit or advantage after
selectiig as his electoral battle cry—the one-sided
denunciation of a public grant, devoted, it is true, to
what we conscientiously believe to be a❑ erroneous
faith ; but which is, nevertheless, the faith of the
great mass of one of the sister-nations of this free
kingdom.
Among the instruments of Derbyite electioneering
warfare need we enumerate bribery, direct and in-
direct, corrupt influences, open and unscrupulous in-
timidation ?

These (like the other means employed) hove failed,
even for the time, to produce the desired end ; for as
we have previously pointed out, Lord Derby is hap-
pily after all in a minority. Equally certain is it,
that these, like the other bad practices his party have
employed, will recoil with tremendous force on those
who have stooped to resort to them.
The abominable bribery, which has, in so many.
instances, been clearly apparent, will, on future occa-
sions, exert a powerful influence in disgusting all
right-minded men with the Pharisaical professions of
intolerance towards our Catholic fellow-subjects with
which this detestable crime has so commonly been as-
sociated.

And what shall we say of undue influence and in-
timidation ? Can anything be more palpable than
their tendency to create a cry for the ballot, which it
will be impossible to resist ? We have always advo-
cated the ballot. At the same time we are perfectly
sensible that it is nothing better than a choice of
evils, for we perfectly agree that in many respects it
would be much better that the elector should give his
vote openly, and that each member of society should
know the political acts of his neighbour. But the
preservation of the present system of open voting de-
pends entirely on the future conduct of the landlords
of this country ; for if by an abuse of their influence
they continue to make that system a source of op-
pression to their dependents, the ballot, like Catholic
emancipation, the repeal of the Test and Corporation
Acts, the Reform Bill, and the repeal of the corn-
laws, will be carried by a force that no power either
in or out of Parliament can resist.

In many parts of the kingdom we have observed
with satisfaction a growing disposition on the part of
the landlords to respect the electoral rights of their
tenants. Those who so act are the truest Conserva-
tives and the best friends to their own order.
With similar sentiments of gratification have, we
observed the increasing , influence of an enlightened
and independent public. spirit among the electors, a
growing disposition on their part to respect the sug-
gestions of the press and the general good of the
community. The return of Colonel Biddulph for
Denbighshire is as striking an example as we could
produce, especially considering the defection of many
of his former friends, and the agricultural character
of the constituency. Yet that gentleman was elected
for the most populous constituency of North Wales,
in defiance of all the local influences opposed to him,
and in defiance of the Derbyite watchwords of Pro-
tection and No Popery. Much rejoiced we are at the
gain of a seat to the Liberal cause, under circum-
stances that distinctly show that our simple-minded
countrymen are not behind their neighbours in intelli-
gence and toleration, and that even the enlightened
citizens of Liverpool may learn a lesson from the un-
pretending mountaineers of North Wales, both in the
maxims of sound commercial policy and in the doc-
trines of enlarged Christian charity.
While we concur with our contemporaries of the press
in regretting the rejection of so many excellent men
(for example, Mr. Cardwell, Mr. Hersmean &c.), we
feel convinced that constituencies who have so acted
will be largely influenced at the next election, by the
general reprobation they have brought on themselves
(from the press and the public), to reverse their re-
cent decisions. Mr. Macaulay's return for Edinburgh
is a cheering and instructive example of this kind of
electoral penitence which will be one of the auxiliary
sources of Liberal strength at the next election.
Moreover, free-trade itself, by making the electors
more prosperous, and therefore less dependent, will
contribute powerfully to promote the final destruc-
tion of the present hypocritical Government, and of
the reactionary party whose instrumente they are.

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.,--•The advices by the Ca-
nada describe the cotton market, both at New York
and New Orleans, as being still inanimate, with a
bias of prices in favour of buyers. The receipts for
the last week were 8,000 bales, against 10,000 last
year. The state of the growing crop continued to
be in the highest degree promising. These accounts
have not been without effect upon the Liverpool mar-
ket, which was dull yesterday ; and, although prices
were not lower, the seller found himself at a disad-
vantage in a bargain. This, however, is to be con-
sidered as, in some degree, a natural pause after the
extensive business of last week. And in the same way
our market for yarns and goods has been decidedly
quieter to-day than it was last week, partly from its
ready sympathy with any change in the raw ma-
terial, but very much also because the buyers
have given out large orders within the last seven
days. Merchants and manufacturers have appeared
equally disposed to defer further operations in yarns ;
and the transactions of the day have, therefore, been
altogether inconsiderable ; but, as spinners are in ge-
neral well engaged, they have held to their quota-
tions with entire firmness in those descriptions that
have been in demand, except in cases where extreme
rates had been required. The buyer has a little
advantage in reeled-water, and twist, and low mule ;
and India yarns continue depressed. Warps, cop-
twist, end pin-cops, taken at large, are steady, and
some cops are again higher. Goods, though quiet,
are firm at the full quotations of last week. In both
departments of our market we feel the absence of the
overland advic'es, which are now five days behind
the date of their delivery at this period of last year.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—The ft/noel market has
undergone no change to-day from that of the prece-
ding, week, except that there has been a rather thin-
ner attendance of buyers, and not quite so much
business transacted. Good prices continue to be
asked for wool, and the manufacturers complain of
not being able to obtain a remunerating price for
their pieces.
MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—During the last few
days our manufacturers have been visited by several
buyers, who have purchased to a fair extent. Their
sales would have been on a more extensive scale,
had it not been for the limited quantity
of goods in the hands of producers Altogether a
More hopeful feeling prevails.—Thrown silks have
been in but limited demand for the home trade.
Stocks, however, do not accumulate, as the purchases
for foreign account continue ; and to this mainly may
be attributed the activity observable in our throwing
mills. Raw Silks—The market is rather quieter;
the late arrivals of Chinas are mostly unsold. The
consumption is large, and the deliveries to the trade
for the pant month of Bengels and Chinas are good.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—Very few merchants have
visited our pieCe hill to-day, and scarcely any goods
have changed hands. There is a fair trade doing in
yarn, and the spinners are obtaining a small advance
upon late rates. Long wool continues firm with a
moderate amount of‘lriness doing. Short wools
are dearer.
HUDDERSFIELD, TwieDAY.--There has been a fair
demand in the ball for goods suitable for the coming
season : dark checks and plaids seem to have the run,
and black and brown doeskins have also gone pretty
freely; but more is being done to order. The manu-
facturers generally seem to expect a good autumn
trade, especially as wools are easier.

FRENCH RESEARCiIES at NINEVEH.
The Minister of the Interior has received further ac-
counts of {he explorations which are being carried on by
M. Place, Consul of France at Mossul, in the ruins of
Nineveh. In addition to large statues, bas-reliefs in
marble, pottery, and articles of jewellery', which throw
light on the habits and customs of the inhabitants of the
ancient city, be has been able to exielaine the whole of
the palace of Khorsabad and its dependencies, and in so
doing has elucidated some doubtful points, and ob-
tained proof that the Assyrians were not ignorant of
any of the resources of architecture. He has also
discovered a large gate twelve feet high, which ap-
pears to have been one of the entrances to the city,
several constructions in marble, two rows of columns,
apparently extending a c)nsiderable distance, the cel-
lar of the Palace still containing regular rows of jars,
which had evidently been filled with wioe—and
at
the bottom of which jars there is still a sort of deposit
of a violet colour. M. Place has,, moreover, discovered
the storehouse of pottery, containing various articles. In
addition to all this, he bus caused excavations to he made
in the hills of Bachicekti.Karacaless,.. Tea le7nhen, Mat.
tai, Karakock, Digau, 'Sic., on the lett bank of the Tigris,

MON ASTARBOIOE, near DROGHEDA.
Monesterboiee is a singularly intere,nog collection of
rnoriurrn,nni. namely, a R Tower, the remnns of a
small 13 Is century ehapal, other remnants of one Ttten
earlier, and three scalptured crosses full of surprising,
interest. The doorway of the tower is circular-heacied;
the upper part of the circle being worked cut of a hori-
zontal stone: the doorway is wider at the bottom than
the top. TLe tower is covered with a green moss, and
is much bowed and dilapidated. Steps should be taken
to repair the upper portion of it, or it can scarcely last
Many years. Indeed, attention should be drawn to the
condition of several of these towers so peculiar to the
country, and which ought on no account to be suffered
to fall away. We do net want restoration, but simply
such repair as will enelile them to withstand the weather.
The largest of the croises is about 20 feet high, and is
covered with sculptured figures, loops, snakes, &c.; age
and wantonness have so affected the iower part of the
stem as to reader it likely that, unless strengthened, it
will be overthrown. The carving on the second cross is
better executed nod in a more perfect state than that of
the largest: it is one of the most sariking monuments
of its class existing, and includes groups of boldly sculp-
tured figures, representing the Day of Judgment.,, the
Temptation, and other Scriptural events. The Irish
Annals have been quoted to show that these crosses were
executed 'at the commencement of the tenth century, and
the monuments themselves seem to justify the infer-
ence. None should miss seeing Monasterboice. The
three crosses, two chapels, overgrown with high grass
and trees, and the ancient tower, moss-covered, waiting
to fall, form a group scarcely to be equalled, and to one
standing amongst them a scene of surpassing interest
and an enduring recollection.—Builder.

REPRESENTATION OF PETERBOROUGH.—A meet-
ing of the Whigs and Radicals was held on Monday evening,
at the Angel Hotel, Peterborough, for the purpose, if possi-
ble, of amalgamating and electing a man with whom they
might jointly agree. Sir George Grey (late Secretary of
State), Mr. Cornewall Lewis, Lord Duncan, and Mr. Horsman
were selected for choice. From what was said at the meet-
ing, it would appear that Earl Fitzwilliam declines interfer-
ing with the election, and has lett it at the electors' discre-
tion. The Whig Committee proposed Sir George Grey, and
the opposite committee wished to bring forward Mr. Hors-
man. The two parties were unable to unite in the selection
of one individual, and a requisition, soliciting Sir George
Grey to come forward, was handed round by the chairman
for the signature of all favourable to him. It does not
appear at all probable that the Liberal interest here will
unite.

The Lord Chancellor has appointed the Rev. J.
William Hillyard, M.A., late incumbent of St. James's
Church, Salt, Stafford, to the incumbency of Castle Church,
in the same county, rendered vacant by the promotion of the
Rev. C. H. Aitkens, M.A.
