MEETING OF THE CONSERVATIVE MEMBERS
OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.

As we had previously announced, a meeting of the
Conservative members of the House of Commons took
place yesterday for the purpose of hearing from the Pre-
mier an exposition of the course of policy and action in-
tended to be pursued by himself and his Government.
About 250 members of the Lower House accordingly
assembled in Downing-street, and were addressed by the
Noble Lord at considerable length in those lucid, frank,
and manly terms which so peculiarly become him. No
point of policy was left untouched, no purpose was veiled.
We are in possession of the substance of his Lordship's
speech, but we are unwilling to publish a summary of it
lest faction should seize upon and misconstrue a con-
densed phrase, or upon a word, for its own especial pur-
poses. Let our readers remain satisfied with the fact,
that the address was received with unanimous enthu-
siasm ; and that when Lord Derby, in conclusion, in-
vited discussion upon any of the points he had advanced,
there was not a voice raised even for the purpose of
debating the smallest of the details he had explained—
cordial approbation and a resolve to support thoroughly
the measures of Lord Derby's Administration were more
positively and unanimously manifested than at any pre-
vious similar assembly.—Morning Herald. t
[We are given to understand that the address of Lord
Derby fully expressed the adherence of the Government
to the free-trade policy, and the " unanimous enthusi-
asiasm " alluded to by our contemporary, on the part
of the hearers of that address, affords satisfactory evidence
that the Government party have at length learned the
true
wisdom of yielding with a good grace to the popu-
lar will.—En. Sum.]

THE DukE's FUNERAL.—This morning a large body
of workmen commenced hanging the front of Temple
Bar with black cloth, for the purpose of doing honour
to the memory of his Grace the Duke of Wellington.
The erection of barricades along the pavement in Fleet-
street and Ludgate-hill, breast high, were also com-
menced.
IRISH APPOINTMENTS.—We are happy to be able to
announce that the Irish Government has conferred upon
Mr. James Martin, of ROHR, the office of auditor of union
accounts in the Poor Law Board. We feel assured that
this appointment will meet the full sanction of the Irish
gentleman of Mr. Martin's character
public, and that even political opponents will admit that
thend
selection of
abilities for this office, is calculated to reflect credit
a
a
upon the Government of the Earl of Eglinton.---../Iforning

SUSPICIOUS DEATH.—Yesterday an inquest was held
by Mr. Baker, at the Sportsman, Margaret-street, Hag-
gerstone, relative to the death of Jane Hawkins, aged
20, a single female, whose body was found on Friday
morning in the Regent's canal, near Acton lock, with
severe marks of violence on it. Sophia Caster, de-
ceased's aunt, No. 11, Seabright-street, Hackney-road,
said that her niece called upon her on the evening
of the first of November last, about six o'clock. She
seemed rather excited, when witness asked her if there
was any circumstance which troubled her. She made no
reply, but wept. Some months ago, she lost the com-
pany of a young man for whom she had formed a strong
attachment. Verdict—That the deceased was found
dead, with marks of violence on her person.
