FINAL CLOSE OF THE POLL. and almost painful bewilderment. Can it be that the
result of the elections which have already taken
place has induced the Cabinet to pronounce its views
in reference to the corn-laws with somewhat
more than customary distinctness ? Whatever the
reason may be, it is at any rate matter for
rejoicing with the community at large that, at the
eleventh hour at least, the doubts of the last four
months have been dissipated, and that some notion
may at last be formed as to the intended policy of
the Deem. Administration. Free Trade would
seem, therefore, to be now honestly accepted as an
accomplished fact,
and as one, moreover, wholly and
entirely irrevocable.
According to the acknowledg-
ment of Mr. DISRAELI, neither himself nor his col-
leagues entertain any project for the revival of the
system of Protection. They still consider the
di in their
in
en-
actments of 1846 to
greathave tabeeeansurealso disastrous erroneous
character, and in a
their consequences. But those enactments they have
no hope whatever of seeing sooner or later reversed.
Instead of this, they aspire now to complete the great
series of alterations upon which a former Govern-
ment adventured—beginning with the entire revision
of the present system of finance. So far the prospect
held out by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER is
somewhat consolatory. It would be still more so
could we believe, with Sir Weaves, LYTTON, as in-
timated by him on Thursday from the hustings at
Hertford, that the Earl of DERBY is really that
same Mr. STANLEY who breathed such noble and lofty
eloquence twenty years ago in the House of Com-
mons in favour of Parliamentary Reform. If the
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER fottnd it yesterday
somewhat difficult to describe in sufficiently alluring
colours the future achievements of the Cabinet pre-
sided over by that once energetic and distinguished
Liberal, the Right Hon. Gentleman contrived very
ingeniously to divert the attention of his hearers to
the rather laudable activity displayed during the last
four months, itqoffice, by the members of the Adminis-
tration. " Remember," said he, " the very evening, I
think, upon which I took my seat in the House of
Commons—the very evening of the day upon which
I was elected four months ago, when I took my seat
for the first time in a most responsible position as
the leader of that assembly—no less than the highest
authority in that House, Lord JOHN Russell, rose,
and her MAJESTY'S Government were submitted to a
severe cross-examination. The object of the Oppo-
sition, then, was to prevent our doing anything.
The object of the Opposition, then, was to pre-
vent our bringing forward any measures. The
object of the Opposition, then, was to precipitate
that appeal to the country which we are now
making. Well, what was our conduct under
those circumstances ? We knew, as those who
opposed us knew, that there were subjects of
such great weight and moment at issue, that it was
utterly impossible for a Ministry prepared to do their
duty to neglect attempting to carry those mnasures
into effect." Aware of how far the Ministry actually
succeeded in displaying their sense of this responsi-
bility, it was not surprising to find the CHANCELLOR
of the EXCHEQUER yesterday defying anyone to gain-
say that the Cabinet had done much prior to the disso-
lution, any more than it wrs surprising to observe that
defiance greeted in the Town Hall of Aylesbury with
acclamations. From the course then and there pur-
sued by Mr. DIsRAELI during those turbulent pro-
ceedings, it is sufficiently evident that conciliation will
be the principal characteristic of the policy about to
adventured upon by the DERBY Government.

Notwithstanding the extraordinary heat of the wea-
ther, and the more exciting warmth of electioneering
contests, the annual meeting of the Royal Agricul-
tural Society has gone off with considerable éclat.
Some complaints, indeed, have been male that the
. s. d. did not flow
in quite so freely us on former
L
occasions, and that the resulzs have not been so satis-
factory in a pecuniary point of view as hereto-
fore. But the show was good ; the cattle of
every description displayed that degree of
obesity which rejoiceth the bucolic heart.
Many yielded to fate, expiring prematurely
before the keen knife brought their existence to its
natural termination. These accidents were, however,
looked upon as the more than probable consequences
of the perverted taste, which induces breeders and
stockowners, but above all the judges of the show,
the distributors of prizes, to prefer animals fattened
to excess, so that the meat is only fit for the grease-
tub, and that profit could not possibly be derived from
the pinguose:clianuracture, to others in more healthy
and useful condition. The extreme cruelty of the
process, the wretched condition to which the
miserable victims of the fattening mania ere
reduced, appear to be totally forgotten, and every
exhibitor appears to conform to a prejudice which he
perhaps feels that he ie individually unable to resist.
It is difficult to say how the unquestionable evil is to
be remedied. The Earl of Duce, the President of
the society,
suggested that the only means of refor-
mat;on would be to ask the Council to have a spare
stock class. His Lordship added that the breeders
would Boon find that the wealthy purchasers would
go to that dos, and where the money went there
the breeders would be gathered together. This might
possibly do something ; it might enacoulersasgedissgtoucskt.-
