ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

IRICHINGHAMSRIRE.-011 Saturday the following ad-
dress was issued by the Eight Hon. B. Disraeli to his
constituents of the county of Buckingham:—
" Downing-street, Jane 18, 1852.
" Gentlemen, The dissolution of Parliament will
take place in a few days. I have so recently addressed
you and at so great a length, that I will only now beg
you, on the day of nomination, to support my claims to
be elected, for the third time, to the high honour of
being your member. If, as I confidently anticipate, the
judgment of the country will ratify the choice of our
Gracious Sovereign, the present Administration, under
the auspices of Lord Derby, will do their utmost to ob-
tai❑ a just redress of the agricultural interest, and will
unfalteringly uphold our free constitution in Church and
State, to which, under Divine Providence, we are in-
debted for r. greater degree of happiness and liberty
than is enjved by any country in the world.
" I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen,
"Your obliged friend and serve. t,
"B. DISRAELI."

we were to be kept alive by the exercise of reason as
in
other cases, But the cholera went off; those who were
to die, died, and were eaten or drunk or inhaled by
those who were destined to survive, and so the Board of
Health was shelved like an umbrella in dry weather.
We aro waiting for the cholera, and then there will be
a bustle and the umbrella be brought out again. The
undertakers have been too strong for us; we must con-
tinue to make meat for them, and Mr. Bumble have his
own way in his parish. The present Bill of the Govern-
ment is a sort of compromise; it is not to wash us too
clean, but leave certain chances to the animalcules of
the microscope.
On the same day the Corrupt Practices Bill made a
kind of posthumous appearance before the House, and
was killed again, on the principle probably that " such a
villain cannot be too dead," by a majority of 67 to 24.
And directly afterwards, as if to keep the hand in, the
County Elections Polls Bill, which was to have reduced
the time of taking the Poll in Counties to one day, was
thrown out at the Third Reading by 49 to 39. So the
gentlemen who have seven votes in seven different
places, have secured the exercise of their rights, while
seven out of eight of you go without a vote at all.
And this leads me to some further comment on the
facts connected with the increase of Bradford, formerly
alluded to. Out of the great increase of houses there,
what has been the proportion which has led to an
increase in the number of electors? In other words,
how many of those who live in them and pay for them,
have been thereby raised to the privilege of having one
of those votes, which the man of landed property must
have by sevens, and to preserve which to him in full ex-
ercise the County Elections Polls Bill has just been
thrown out? A little inquiry on this subject at Brad-
ford might be a useful exercise. Ido not know whether
any engagement upon this subject comes within the
plans of a Liberal Protectionist and Conservative Free
Trader like Lord Derby's manager in the House of
Commons.

Contrary to the predictions of the knowing in such
matters, the Resolutions on Currency &c. which for
some months loaded the Notices of Motions, were so for-
tunate as to be called on at two in the morning and
negatived, which gives them insertion on the Journals of
the House. A motion withdrawn, is not inserted on the
Journals. As the adjournment of the House had been
moved or threatened two or three times, the smallest
attempt at explanation or confirmation would have
caused some opponent to exercise the Liberuni Veto in
his power, and so the end would have been missed.
lam not unconscious of the danger attending pro-
ceedings of this nature. It is always a crime and mis-
demeanour, to try to know anything before the public.
The question is now nearly where that of the Corn
Laws was five-and-twenty years ago. But somebody
must be forlorn hope. Somebody for a score or two of
years must be content to work in the dark, with great
disgrace and loss of fame, amid loud cries of " What
would this babbler say ?" And then at some time or
other will come the proper person, the " discoverer,"
and "discover" it all; and he will be a wonderful
man. It is the course of nature; there is no use in
kicking against the pricks. But for the same process,
we should still have been at" Protection to British In-
dustry," and the Pope's right to depose kings.
On Friday considerable progress was made in what is
called " the business of the House," preparatory to the
conclusion of the Session. 'rho bastard Romanists in
the Church of England continue to rally against Mr.
Horsman; and appear disposed to persevere in their
course, till they invite what Napoleon and O'Connell
expressed by the same metaphor, " being thrown into
the river."

I am, Sir, yours very sinePrely,
AN OLD REFORMER.
Blackheath, June 21,1852.

THE NEW CRYSTAL PALACE.

Various arrangements have been already made by the
directors of the Crystal Palace Company, in conjunc-
tion with Sir Joseph Pextota Messrs. Fox and Hender-
son, and Mr. Owen Jones, and the other gentlemen en-
gag: d in the reconstruction of the edifice, and in the
formation of the grounds. The total length of the
building will be 1,853 feet, the extreme width 384. The
new palace will undergo several modifications. It will
have three transepts—two of the same size and height
as the original transept, and a central one of 130 feet
span, 108 feet higher than the two smaller. The roofing
of the transepts, as well as of the whole of the nave, will
be arched, and the ribs will bo of wrought iron instead
of wood, as employed in the old transept, the former
material being used, not for the sake of durability only,
but with the view also of absorbing the whole " thrust"
of the arches, and of preventing its being thrown on
the adjacent flat roofs of the aisles. The glass for the
new roofs will be all twenty-one ounces instead of six-
teen ounces per square foot. The sloping form of the
ground on which tne building is to stand will be made
available for the various works below the floor line,
necessary for the heating of the interior, for maehi-
bury, and for the stores required in a building of a
permanent character. This basement story will be
formed of columns and girders, with brick arches fitted
to receive the earth for the plants above. The disposi-
tion of the galleries will be much modified. It is deter-
mined that they shall not rua along the nave, as at pre-
sent, bat shall be generally kept back to the outside
walls, coming forward only at those points where they
will command the most striking views. The interior
will be arranged on the folloaing general principles. At
one end the climate and vegetation will be those of the
tropics, gradually changing, until at the centre transept,
a temperate climate and temperate vegetation are reached,
which will prevail throughout the remainder of the build-
ing. Portions of the palace will be converted into quad-
rangles similar to the fine art or medieval courts of the
Exhibition. These courts will hems& to represent the man-
ners, cutunses, &e., of different countries. For instance
one court will form an Indian bazaar, with adjoining
durbars and reception rooms. Hero all the illustrations
of Indian life will be collected in as vivid and charac-
teristic a manner as possible. Another quadrangle will
be devoted to the illustration of China. A third will
contain a reproduction of one of the courts of the Alham-
bra, by Mr. Jones; and a fourth will exhibit a Pom-
peian house fully restored. In one of the smaller tran-
septs there will be Egyptian antiquities, casts from the
celebrated reliefs, illustrative of the trades of Egypt, and
from the most noted statues—all coloured exactly like
the originals, and so disposed as not to be a mere dead
collection of individual objects, but a living reproduction
of Egyptian manners and things. In another part there
will be presented a Nineveh palace. Steps have been
already taken to procure collections of sculpture, of ar-
chitecture, and of ornaments, illustrating the progress of
those arts from their commencement to the present
time. The sculptures will include the finest works of
the great European galleries and of the modern schools.
Many of the latter—the compositions, for instance of
Rauch, Schwanthaler, Cornelius, and Schnorr-2the
