SIR JAS. GRAHAM AND THE DERBY
ADMINISTI?ATION.
Sir Seines Graham has just published the following
the eleetoraot the city of Carlisle
TO THE ELECTORS OF CARLISLE.
" Grosvenor-place, May 8.
" Gentlemen,—eSame time has now elapsed since I ac-
cepted a. r' quisition to stand for Carlisle, in conjunction
with Mr.'Eergusten, at the next general election; and a
chane,e has taken place in the position of public affairs
since' I had the honour if addressing you at a public
meeting. -- •
" I teen observed bow difficult it had become to find
a Protectionist witheteteli•guise. This difficulty increases.
In cities Rad boroughs the least intention of reimposing
a cora:la:al has been generally disclaimed by the candi-
data; riven in counties a lingering desire for a corn•law
has been timidly allowed; end in Parliament the last
shadow of Peosection-eeems to have vanished in the
smoke of a ,
" Tho Chenceller of the Exchequer has made his
financial stetement, The official homage paid to truth
hoe been a hill adraiSsion of the benefits of free trade,
and thne Pudget :for the current year is based on an '
adop:ion of the ennamercial and financial policy of the
late Sir Robert Peel, which has been so much maligned.
"It is not sae, however, to preimmo that ibis policy
is now pieced b.:yerai the re ach of danger; its fete is in,
the !:ands of: tho electere at the approachin,g dissolution
of Parliament.
" Lord Derby, kincehe'beeame the First Minister, has
declared in his place in Padiarnent that-he is an admirer
of the tariff .f the States, which imposes high
import duties on all articles from abrcad which may be
produced at home; ite-aditd that he considers corn no
just extioplion to this-rule, and that in his opinion the
reimposition of a duty on corn is the measure which
would best Fs tisfy the- claims of the landed interest
for coolietisation on,aceodat of their peculiar burdens.
" The pree nt Secretary of State for the Colonies de-
'claretithetehe is still opposed to the de:sce.nding scale of
du ties'ortf7sreign sugar, and he avows that, if be had the
power and the _opporteinity, he would prolong the en-
hancement of the price_or the British consumer for the
exe!usivo benefit of the colonial grower, by the eon-
tinuence of a discriminating duty. Surely this is Pro-
tection in-its naked deformity.
" An important branch of Sir Robert Peel's financial
policy is the redaction of indirect taxation, and the sub-
stituti*nroFelirect taxation in lieu of it, within moderate
Chermellor of the Exchequer, when be
prOPoebl'ae'renesval of the income-tax for another year,
gave a significant warning, and notified his opinion that
direct taxation, witbOnt large exteaptione, is impracti-
ticable; andethat witlalarge exemptions it must be re-
garded as confieeation. .
" So matteri stood on-Friday,' when the Chancellor of
the Exchequer opined his budget: 'On Saturday morn-
ing the Sfilleiter-General addle-saes ihefreeholders of the
couety of - Sriaff )Ik, and seeks their seaport on the express
ground that this repeal of the cornelawe has been ruinous,
and unwisee, that the ag.i_oiculturiste, if" they require re-
lief, nattaelook: to the Adininistration of Lord Derby,
which is ready to adminis:er it to them in the next
Parliament; and that with a view to the satisfaction of
their just claims their hopes, mast rest on the existing
Administration. Again,-the Chancellor of the Exche-
qaer has returned to his original ground; and even since
his speecheon the budget-he has declared that ' when her
Majesty shall have recurred to the sense of her people,
the Government aro reputed to fulfil, as far as lies in
their power, that-pollee, With regard to the agricultural
interest which they advocated on the Opposition side of
the House.'
Rere,ethen, the' reversal of free trade, the reim-
pesition-of ti cornehtie, or relief to the agricultural in-

tuencies be not on their guard, and if they fail to beware

PIIOTOGRAPHre AND BINOCULAR
PORTRAITS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sir,—l observe in- the Tinto .of Tuesday that M.
Claudet, in the ctfiracter Of the oldest photograper, and
A
therefore, probably, the most prfjudic, has taken it
very much areisslhat the pubic has learnt the fact that
photographic portraits taken by lenses deviate greatly,
and more and more from truth as the lenses increase in
diameter. I took the earli,st opportunity of communi-
eatirg this new end important Ica to my photographic
friends Messrs. Ross and Thomson, photographers to
the Queen in Edinburgh; to Mr. Kilburn, photographer
to the Queen in L-ndoe; and to Mr. Hennemann and
Mr. Berne, who have produced such beautiful portraits,
the one on paper, and the other with collodion on glass.
All these gentlemen received the information as a valu-
able contribution to the art which they so skilfully prac-
tise—as an explanation, toe, of the well-known imper-
fection of photographic portraits, and as a stimulus to re-
move it by using small lenses and searching for more
sensitive materials. They-did not, like M. Claudet con-
sider the announcement of a scion iflc truth as an in-
vasion of their p,cunitify interests; and while be, on
the ananxity of his experitoents, will continue to prac-
tise his art as he has hitherto done, with larger lenses;
they, and we trust many, othersovill nut disdain to guide
the light of the san by the light of science, and thus di-
minish the noraber of, these grim anamorphoses of hu-
manity which proCeed„frorn no studio more copiously
than those of M. Claudet, and which, though a terror to
the d )mestic circle, have the merit of showing us how
we shell look in a! winding sheet, or under the more
gheo!tly phase of a pest mortera examination.
If you, Sir, or any or your readers will take the
trouble of "Joking into aMartiele," Binocular :Vision and
the Stereoscope," in the !number of the- North British
:Review just published, y‘ou will form a better opinion on
the subject under discussion; and will see it demon
strafed that the method employed by M. Claudet of
:taking biaccular portraits, to- be raised into relief by the
steremcepe, is not duly utterly erroneous in principle,
and incapable of giving a--correct representation of the
human term, but that it actually involves the very op-
tical truth which he professiehially repudiates.
I ana Sir, yours most truly,
D. BREWSTER.

THE JOB AND POST-MASTERS

BENEVOLENT FUND.
The ninth anniversary dinner of the members, friends,
and patrons of the, above institution was held yesterdEy
at the London Taverr, when about 230 gentleman sat
down to an elegant and liberally•supplimi dinner. The
chair was ably tilled by Alderman Salemons, M.P., sup-
ported by the Hon. P.S. Pierrepont, till Hon. Newton
Feliowes, Major Campbell. Captain Huish; Captain
Bray-ores, C. E. Stewart, Esq., Edward Watkin, Esq,
Thomas Gallen, Esq., and Messrs. Tattersall, Wimbush,
Deacon, Dickinson, Collins, East, Hetherington,,B4o-
- vocal arrangements were under• the management
of Mr. Hobbs, assisted by Mr. Young and Mr. 'Allen
The duties of toastmaster were, of course, ably filled by
Mr. Harker.
The otject of this excellent institution is to give per-
manent and temporary relief to members, in either of
the above trades, when in necessitous circumstances,
from age, sickness, accident, or distress; and also to the
widows and children of such members, in the event of
death.

The grace from the Laudi Spirituali having been sung
on the removal of" the cloth,
The CHAIRMAN rose to propose << The Health of her.
Majesty the Queen." He said he thought it due to him-
, self to c-mgratulate the institution on seeing so large and
di,tioguished a company ce.nmbled on that occasion,
end having said that he proceeded to perform the HR.
Mediate duty which devolved upon him as the chairman
of the evening.—(Hear, hear.) They were met on the
anniversary of her Majesty's birthday.—(Loud cheers)..
In giving that toast be called upon all present to reflect
en the blessings which this great nation enjoyed under
the benignant sway of her Majesty.—(Cheers.) Let
them reflect on the character of our beloved Sovereign;
she was the grace ot all society, and an example of all
domestic virtue. He proposed the Queen, may her ?de-
jesty never be lees popular, and may she ever reign
over a happy, a loyal, and a contented people, as she
now dues.—(Cheers.)
National Anthem.

The CHAIRMAN gave, in justly-merited eulogistic
terms, " The Health of his Royal Highness
Albert, Albert' Prince of Walev, and the rent of the
Royal Family." Prince

Song, by Mr. Hobbs—" Hail to thee, Albert."
The CHAIRMAN next gave,
" The Army and the
Navy," and though ho hoped the day was far distant
when their services would be required, yet he had no
doubt that, if circumstances really demanded it, the
members of either service would be ready to show the
same indomitable courage and determination which bad-,
immortalised their fame.
Major CAMPBELL returned thanks for the-Army. I
'Song, Mr. Hobbs—" True Courage," Dibdin; given
with much good taste and feeling.
The CHAIRMAN next rose to bring under the notice of
the company.the toast of: the evening. namely, " Pros- '
perity to the Job- and Post-
masters, Coach Proprietors,
Horse Dealers,and Livery Stable Keep& (of England)
Provident Fund." They were met there that evening on
an important occasion.—(Haar, hear.) Theirs was not
a charitable but a philanthropic meeting; for one of the
objects of the society was not so much to provide for the
present as the future, an object, he thought, which well
deserved their serious attention and constant support.—
(Hear, hear.) Every one in this country was more or
less engaged in trade, and every one Mere or less was
thrown upon his own immediate resources, and the prin-
ciple of self-reliance and selhstipport had become, as it
were, part of the glorious Constitution under which we
lived.— (Cheers.) In this country the Government not
only taught, but almost compelled all of us to rely on
ourselves, and in furtherance of that doctrine, no doubt,
this admirable institutton had been founded, which was
to all intents and purposes a Doric column with a Co-
rinthian capital.—(Cheers.) Happily they lived under
a Constitution where freedom was enjoyed to
the fullest extent, and one of the peculiar
features which attracted to it, and which was to be at-
tributed to the existence of institutions like this, was
that it was free from those revolutions and convulsions
which had shaken the foundations of other nations.—
( Hear, hear.) The cause of this was well known and
appreciated in this country. Men here did not look only
at to-day, bat they thought of to-morrow, and carried
their mind's eye into distant ages, and hence arose the
.iberality with which the charitable, benevolent, and
provident institutions of England were Supported.--
—(Hear, hear.) Englishmen did not alone seek for the
wants of to-day, but they made provision for the future
also, and one of the peculiar features of the country
was her life assurance societies.—(hear, hear.) No
later ago than that very morning he had received a
paper from a life assurance society, the con-
tents of which greatly astonished him, for it
would appear from this document, which he held in his
hand, that magistrater,- judgee, barristers, legislators,
and, in fact, every class ot the community, were sensibly
aware of the importance of insuring their lives, us a
.provision for their families hereafter; and it appeared
that the extraordinary sum of 5,000'0004 was annually
put aside for the purposes of life assurance, to secure
131,000,0001. to be granted for the benefit of families,
when those who bad insured should be no snore.—
(Cheers.) They should never forget the value and im-
portance of that principle Which taught them to put by
something
allies; in ea in a period of prosperity to meet future Daces•
se they should be overtaken by adversity here-
af:er, and it was upon that ground that ho appealed to
them to support this institution.—(Cheers.) Let him
read to them a paper which had been placed in his
hands to show the progress which the institution had
made and was now making.—(Hear, hear.) It appeared
from this paper that in 1846 the society attained that
point ot _ prosperity which enabled the committee to
commenea dispensing their benefit% and since then the
extent of relief afforded to Omen who were in want
of it had gone on increasing.—
(Cheers.) The founders
and supporters of the society had divided its progress
into two stages, the first of which would be completed
when the funds should have reached 10,000/., and the
(Hear, hear.) The fist epoch
second when the funds had mounted up to 20,0001
hinee he understood the funds already amounted to
9,9281. 3s. 2d., and he bad no doubt the sum would be
made 10,0004 before the company aoparated.—(Cheers.)
And with these views and opinions, feebly expressed„ to
them " Prosperity to the Job awnads
