AUGUST 4,

meat that has already led to most calamitous breache
of the peace in Icelaud.

By this shameful revival of the ferocious h'utry
of former days the supporters of the present Ministry
have gained a few votes in the House of Commons;
hut they have made Ireland ungovernable by Lord
Derby. No Minister, however large his msjoritics
in Parliament, however high his reputation, can rule
this united empire with benefit or advantage after
selecting as his electoral battle cry—the one-sided
denunciation of a public grant, devoted, it is true, to
what we conscientiously believe to be an 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 arid in-
direct, corrupt influences, open and unscrupulous in-
timidation ?

These (like the other means employed) have failed,
evtn 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 aborninable bribery, which has, in so many
instances, been clearly apparent, will, on future occa-
sions, exert a powerful influence in disgusting ali
right-minded men with the Pharisaical professions of
intolerance towards our Catholic fedow-subjects wEh
which this detestable crime has so commonly been is.
sociated.

And what shell we say of undue influence and in
timidation ? Can anything be more palpably than
their tendency to create a cry for the ballot, which it
will be impossible to resist ? 'W 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•
put ds entirely on the future conduct of the landlords
f 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 he carried by a force that no power either
in or out of P trliaruent can resist.

in many parts of the kingdom we have observed
with satisfietion a growing disposition on the part of
the landlord{ to respect the electoral rights of their
tenants. Those who so act are the truest Conserva-
tives aid the best friends to their own order.
With similar sentiments of gratification have we
observed the increa3ing , influence of an enlightened
and independent public spirit among the electors, a
e•rowing 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 bis 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 Derby ite 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. C4rdwell, Mr. Horaman, &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.

STATI OF
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
Bla.scuesTeet, 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 .:ull 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 wey
our market for yarns and goods has been decidedly
quieter to-day thin it was last week, partly from its
ready sympathy with any change in the raw
but very much also ly:cause the beyere
ave given out largo orders within the lest seveo
da.P. Merchants and manufacturers have appeared
ed rally disposed to defer further operations in yarns ;
the trinsactiens of the d,y hole, therefore, been
aliegether incoosiderable.; bu , as spinners are in ge-
neral well eng4geff, they have held to their quota.
ti ns wber enure firmness in those descriptions that
11 ve been in demand, except in cases where extreme
rates hod been required. The buyer has a little
advantage in reeled-water, and twist, and low mule ;
and lonia yarns continue dtpressed. Warps, cop-,
twis7, and pin,cups, taken at large, are steady, and
acme cops are again higher. Goods, though quiet,
are firm at the full quotations of last week. In both
deplrtments of our market we feel the absence of the
overland advice's, which are now five days behind
the date of their delivery at this period of last year.
Roc EIDALE, MONDAY.--The flannel market has
undergone no change to-day from that of the prece-
ding week, except Viet 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, TUESDAT.--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 acaie,
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. Tbe
consumption is large, end the deliveries to the tradt,
for the past month of Bengels and Chinas are good.
HALIFAX, SATUIIDAT.—Very few merchants have
visited our piece ball to-day,r
and scarcely any goods
have changed hands. /here is a fair trade doing in
yarn, and the spinners are obtaining a small advance
upon late rates. Long wool continues firm with u
moderate amount of business doing. Short wools
are dearer.

HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.— There has been a fair
demand in the hail fur 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.

I FRENCH RES EARC.HES al NINE VET!.
The Minister of the Interior has received further ac-
counts of explorsions which are being carried on by
M. Place, Consul of France at Menu!, 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, he has been able to examine the whole of
the palace of Khersabsd and its dependencies, and in so
doing has (Annulated some doubtful points, and ob-
tained proof that the Assyrians were not ignorant of
any of the resources of architecture. Ile has also
discov-red a large gate twelve feet high, which ap-
pears to have been one of the entrances to the city,
several constructions in marble, tiro rows of columns,
apparently extending a considerable distance, the cel-
lar of the Palace still containing regular rows of jars,
which bad evidently been filled with wine—and at
the baton of which jars there is still a sort of deposit
of a violet colour. M. Place has, moreover, discovered
the storahouse of pottery, containing various articles. In
addition to all this, he has caused excavations to be made
in the 13"118 of B ,chicchasliarainlees, 111.1 Lemben, Mat-
tai, Karakock, Digan, &0., on the left bank of the Tigris,
within ten leagues from lihorsabad. Its them ho nes
found monuments, tomes, jewellery, and some articles
in gold and other metal and atone. At Dgigiran there
is a monument which, it is supposed, may turn out to be
as large as that of Khoraabad. At Mattel, and a place
called Martian, Al. Place has found bas-reliefs cut in
ue
solid rock; they consist of a number of colossal fig urea

MONASTRRBOICE, near DROGFIEDA.
Monasterboice Is a stegulurly intereceine c.,11 a ion of
t""Lmens, namely, a R :und Tower, the remains of a
small 13ib century chapel, other remnants of one much
earlier, and three sculptured crosses full of surprising
interest. The doorway of the tower is circular-headed;
the upper part of the circle being worked out of a hori-
zontal stone: the doorway is wider at the bottom then
the top. The tower is covet-el 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 snould be drawn to the
condition of several of these towers so peculiar to the
eountry, and which ought en no account to be suffned
to fall away. We do net want restoratiOl, bat simply
such repair as will enable them to withstand the weather.
The largest of the crosses is about 20 feet high, and is
covered with sculptured figures, loops, snske., &e.: age
and wantonness have so affected the lower part of the
stem as to render it likely thee, unless strengthened, it
will be overthrown. The carving; on the second cross is
better executed and in a more perfect state than that of
tha largest: it is one of the most ssriking monuments
of its class•existing, and it eludes croups of boldly sculp-
tured figures, representitig the Day of Judgment. the
Temptation, and other Scriptut'ut events. Tee Irish
Annals have been quoted to stow that these crosses were
executed at the commencement of the tenth century, and
the monuments themselves seam to justify the
