LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 7, 1852.

Yesterday the elections commenced so far in earnest
that—besides six candidates (all Liberals) elected
without opposition—nearly a hundred persons wen
put in nomination. Nearly a similar number will
appear this day upon the hustings in other localities
throughout the United Kingdom. As yet, moreover,
the prospect is considerably in favour of the Re.
formers. Insomuch so that the chief among the
organs of the Derby ites addresses the aupporters
the present Government in terms alternating between
the extremes of indignant remonstrance and of
pathetic and agonized supplication. According to
their own showing, therefore, even at this
early period in the contest, the Ministerials are in a
position little less than absolutely desperate. Here
and there, of course, are snug boroughs safe enough
to return to the House of Commons some nominal
upholder of Protection. The borough of Mmlburst,
for example, is tolerably certain to accept Mr.
WALPOLE on the instant of nomination—as an en-
lightened statesman whose enlarged views, particu-
larly in regard to religion, are calculated to rfrflect so
much honour upon a " No-Popery " Administration.
Then, again—Lincoln will of course rally
anew round the banners of the illustrious
SlBTHORP—resolved to secure the advantage of his
transcendent genius for the genius of the councils
of the new Parliament. The King's jester may
have become only a delightful remembrance—
but the jester of the House of Commons must still
enliven the proceedings of the Legislature. Touch.
STONE can speak to us through the dialogue of
SHAKSPERE, WILL SOMERS can only peer at us
through the painted lattices of HOU:IEIN on one of the
walls at Hampton Court—but the new Palace at
Westminster must still, happily in all like-
lihood, long resound to the voice of the lineal de-
scendant of Major STURGEON. Exempting, however,
the comfortable pocket-boroughs—or rather let us
call them (in the presence of the new Bribery Act)
the comfortable partizan-boroughs—there are but
few places in the country where the Ministry can
look forward to a termination of the struggle in a
manner satisfactory to themselves with any remark-
able degree of confidence. On the contrary, the pro-
babilities are so glaringly to their disadvantage, that
the most conspicuous among our Derbyite contempo-
raries indulges itself this morning in a paroxysm of
mingled terror end lamentation. The half-
prediction of the Earl of DERBY would seem, then,
to have been by no means premature. Neither
could it, for one moment, have been reasonably ex-
pected to prove otherwise than accurate. The Cabi-
.

net appealed to the country in a way so dubious, as
to the declaration of anything like lofty principles,
that the electors could scarcely have been supposed
to await with even ordinary eagerness the opportu-
nity of tendering their votes to the acknowledged
candidates in favour of the Government. Nothing is
precisely known, even to this moment, as to what may
be the exact nature of the policy upon which the Etrl
of DERBY and his colleagues would, in the event of

obtaininga
working
franchise, p
majority, be pr pared to
at hdevierntta e
. The possessors
Ise, to em-
ploy an elegant phre which would sound ecstati-
cally in the ears of CIESTERFIELD, were not prepared
to buy
a pig in a poke—by blundering into an accept-
ance of a cause the tendency of which it was difficult
even to conjecture. Yet a multiplicity of candidates
have, nevertheless, hid the temerity, in defiance of
every prudential consideration, to come forward as
advocates of the enimaginable schemes, floun-
dering in

enter-
prising individuals have adventured even upon the
f the LUCIFERTor
somewhat laborious duty of canvassing in their
favour, toiling from house to house over a broiling
Pavement, and under a relentless sun, with the
thermometer, even in the shade, at from 80 to 90
degrees Fahrenheit. Nearer home, under our own
view, in the streets of the metropolis, the enterprise
displayed by the Tory party is precisely of this de-
scription. The energetic and practical supporters of
the Derbyite candidates are slaving at this moment
as negroes have seldom done with the sugar plan-
tations. Gentlemen, the girths of whose waist-
coats are considerable, even in the presence of
come of the model Aldermen of the city of London,
are displaying, from early dawn till sunset, an acti-
vity calculated to reduce them to " Light-weights"
before the dog days have passed by altogether. Yet,
with all this magnanimous evidence of determination
before them, so desperate seems their position just
now, even when viewed under the colour of their
most sanguine anticipations, that the organs of the
Tory Government are taunting the Tory electors with
a culpable indecision and a shameless indifference,
The fact, we conceive, is sufficiently significult.
It indicates an uncertainty as to the result of the
general election. and an uncertainty so painful of its
kind that, against the commonest dictates of prudence,
it gives utterance to cries of distress at the preoa-
bittey ee a speedy and overwbelmoing discomfiture.
Meanwhile the Liberal party are working their
way very steadily onwards, without any ostentation
of assiduity, and certainly, also, without any exclama-
tions of solicitude as to the consequence of their elec-
tions for the new Parliament. The reason for this is
obvious—in the majority of the contested seats there
is the promise of a tolerably apparent triumph to the
Reformers. At intervals, of course, the Liberal
candidates will be found in the end in
minorities, but these will be the ex-
ceptions. The little progress already made
in the struggle reveals this clearly enough, and tends
to yield the Reformers very appreciably encourage-
ment. Everywhere the free-trade possessors of the
franchise are proving themselves staunch
in their devotion to their principles. Against
them we can nowhere discover reason for
complaint. Unlike our Protectionist Con-
temporaries, who turn upon the Tory electors in
alternate moods of reproach and entreaty—we can
only address the Liberal voters in the equable lan-
guage of a calm and deliberate approbation. They
are acquitting themselves manfully in almost every
direction of the duty devolving upon them
at this a--. il• important juncture. They appear to be
conscious of the magnitude of their individual respon-
sibilities— and whenever they encounter discomfiture
it is either from the well-known preponderance of
the Tory electors in the locality, or from the
divisions forced into the Liberal
unhappily
camp by the needless and unwise superfluity of can-
didates. I
-a spite of the union of their opponents,
however, and in
we, spite of' this unwise division amongst
themselves,
have every rational confidence in the
ultimate victory of the Liberal and Free-trade opposi-
tion. Let the electors on one side only persevere in the
manly course upon which they have adventured, and
the result will not much longer remain very doubt-
ful. It will then be seen whether the people of the
United Kingdom are prepared to abandon the cause
of Worn in a momentary concession to the dar•
