Ti g If N9L,NOON,

Rowe-LIFT was here"—whereat the audience, as
might have been expected, " laughed consumedly.'
" If there was a bad thing to be found out," con-
tinued Lord PALMERSTON, "to be invented, to be
imagined, I am sure my friend RowCLIFF would be
the first man to give it to you, founded or unfounded.
I see he is impatient under this castigation," he pur-
sued, adding, with malicious pleasantry, "I will hit
him high or low, just as he pleases, but he must
let me hit him somewhere "—the " judicious
Bottle-holder" taking up the gloves himself
at a pinch, and eliciting a round of applause at every
round with his unfortunate opponent. While re-
ferring thus humorously to the gibes of his assailant,
Viscount PALMERSTON admitted the generality to a
tantalizing glimpse of the future—tantalizing because
merely a glimpse, and leaving the judg-
ment almost as much as ever fluctuating
to the breath of a dozen opposite conjec-
tures. "He (meaning Rowcure) asks me
what Government I mean to join. That is a question
the answer of which must depend upon the future.
But I will tell him what Government I do not mean
to join. I can assure him that I shall never join a
Government called the RoweLiTe. Administration."
In this tormenting mood it was that this distinguished
statesman passed in review the various sneers and
aspersions directed against him by his political de-
tractors—whose number and virulence, by the way,
are nearly proportioned to his claims upon the na-
tional gratitude. Fortunately there was but little
provocative of real acerbity in the election then
taking place at the hustings at Tiverton—the con-
stituency doing itself honour by electing its old
Members together, for the second time, without op-
position.
Elsewhere matters are not going on quite so
smoothly. At Lewes, it is true, as well as at
Portsmouth, at Richmond, at Chester, and at Bir-
mingham, the two Liberal candidates were returned
as readily as had already been the case with the
constituencies of Oxford, of Coventry, and of Mary-
lebone. But then it must be admitted a similar
course was pursued in regard to the two Tory candi-
dates at Devizes, at Much Wenlock, at Hunting-
don, and at Chippenham. Meanwhile one Minis
terialist and one Liberal were returned together
at Tamworth—a solitary Liberalifoidistrict,nrdis b

Since which period a number of severe contests
carried to the head of the poll the names here of a
Liberal and there of a Derbyite. The most notable
personal defeats among the Reformers are those of the
eloquent GEORGE THOMPSON at the Tower Hamlets,
and of the shrewd and gallant P _ EYRONNET THOMPSON
at Bradford, events which cannot but constitute a
subject of serious regret to every sincere
lover of the popular interests. Conspicuous, how-
ever, above all the triumphs of the Derbyites, is the
victory achieved by the two Ministerial candidates at
Liverpool. The simultaneous discomfiture, in that
important borough, of a distinguished Liberal like
Mr. EwlnT, and of a distinguished Peelite like Mr.
CARDWELL, is a circumstance, it must be confessed,
sufficiently remarkable to warrant an extraordinary
display of exultation on the part of the Ministerialists•
We are, therefore, not in the smallest degree sur-
prised to fiad that our Tory contemporaries are filled
with posans of the most ecstatic kind at the return—
uy 6,553 votes for Mr. TURNER and by 6,1263 for
Mr. MACKENZIE.—.Of two Conservative Members
for Liverpool. Another subject of congratula-
tion they have, moreover, in the circum-
stance of the poll for the city of London
election being headed by their fortunate and
(among all parties) highly respected candidate, Mr.
MasTramaze. To their successes in these two
directions, however, their self-felicitations must
be almost entirely restricted. A considerable
majority of the new Members whose names
have been returned are placed in the catalogue
of Non-Ministerislists. Besides those already enu-
merated, and others received from hour to hour, we
have to rejoice at the return of two Liberals for
Aylesbury—one of these new Members being the
celebrated Dr. LAYARD, the discoverer of Nineveh.
Together with the foregoing—two other Liberals for
Berwick, two for Beverley, two for Chester, two for
Guildford, two for Halifax, two for Hertford, two for
Lambeth, two for Marlborough, two for Newcastle-on-
Tyne, two for Northampton, two for Nottingham, two
for Reading, two for Richmond (Yorkshire), two
for Stroud, and three for the City of London, making
an aggregate of SEVENTY-EIGHT Liberals against
THIRTY-FIVE Tories, yielding a clear majority of forty-
three out of one hundred and thirteen—already
returned in the two first days of the general election,
by polling and by nomination. Supposing the rest
of the returns be in any degree proportioned in re-
sult to those which have been made up to this
moment, the majority against the Protectionists
must be more enormous than could have been
anticipated by the most sanguine in regard to the
new Parliament. Reflection, therefore, only assures
us the more that the confidence expressed by our-
selves last evening in reference to the probable
result of the pending struggle, was in no
respect premature or extravagant. A moderate
degree of perseverance on the part of the Liberal
electors throughout the three kingdoms, and we shall
very speedily have the satisfaction of witnessing the
construction of a powerful Reform Cabinet, upon the
basis of a Liberal House of Commons representing
the real wishes of the population.

although the Tory party have hoisted the orange flag,
and are resolved to make a desperate fight, there
can be little doubt that they will fail in ousting Mr.
REYNOLDS, whose industry and energy as a senator
cannot fail to be appreciated by the Roman Catholic
portion of the constituent body, and who, to the Li-
beral Protestant electors of Dublin, must be far pre-
ferable to the champion of the Orange bigots. In Cork,
the southern capital, theDerbyites are certain of defeat.
That city has assuredly cause for self-gratulation in
being enabled to bring into the arena candidates on
either side sprung from its own soil, without any
solicitation from external quarters. In the last ses-
sion both Interests, Conservative and Liberal, were
severally represented by gentlemen of whom their

of ours." Both Sergeant hicaPny and Mr. FAGAN
have been tried ere this—weighed in the balance,

and not found wanting. Intimately acquainted
and connected with the local interests of the
important commercial city they aspire to represent,
they have evinced themselves, during their former
Parliamentary career, fearless and active advocates of
the true principles of civil and religious liberty. The
constituency of Cork could not by any possibility fix
their choice upon two more upright or efficient
representatives, both of their peculiar interests and
those of the country at large.
Without any intention or desire of drawing in_
virlious distinctions, we cannot help saying that any
body of electors in the empire, however important,
would do themselves especial credit by selecting the
Learned Sergeant ag, their representative in the
Commons House of Parliament. His rare chow

cal attainments and oratorical proficiency are united
to a stock cif practical information and sound sense
and shrewdness which eminently qualify him as an
effective popular representative. He would in any
case possess hereditary claims of no ordinary mag-
nitude in the city of his birth, considering the
stanch arid munificent support which, when it was
most needed, the cause of liberal progress ever ex-
perienced from the leading members of his respected
family, but those claims become irresistibly aug-
mented, when seconded by personal qualifications
far from ordinary, and such as confer no inconsider-
able lustre upon a city proverbial for the talent and
cultivation of its sons. Himself a conscientious Ro-
man Catholic, and justly intolerant of any vestige of
sectarian ascendancy, it redounds highly to the credit
of Mr. Sergeant MURPHY that in the intercourse of
life he has invariably manifested the most entire
and complete absence of any unjust bias, such as re-
ligious predilections or prejudices but too commonly
engender. Indeed, a circumstance lies within our
own knowledge where he voluntarily and generously
stepped forward in aid of an individual of the
strongest possible difference of opinion on those
points, in fact a red-hot Orangeman, on the broad
grounds of benevolence, an instance of laightninded
L liberality equal, in its way, to the noble conduct of

that good and great man, DANIEL O'CONNELL, when
he so nobly came to the rescue of his old Purple fee"
man, Sir ABRAHAM BRADLEY KING.
These are the sort of men who should
possess substantial and paramount merits in the
eyes of those who have long and intimately
known and proved them. Had the Gallant Colonel,
who now leads the forlorn hope of perbyiena'
against the Mononian metropolis, advanced under
other colours, we should never have
against his favourable reception by garris°n said a word

the hustings ; but we feel little hesitation
in assuring
him that be will find to a certainty that the good
men and true of " the beautiful city" are too strong
and too compact a body to let him get higher on theof
approaching poll than the unprofitable position

CITY ELECTION. (THIS DAY.)
DECLARATION OF THE POLL.
The result of the poll for the city of London election was
officially announced this afternoon from the hustings erected
at the Guildhall. The hall was tolerably well tilled with a
more orderly body of electors than attended the nomina-
tion, and some new arrangement having been made in the
disposition of the barriers, there was far less confusion
amongst the crowd. A place was set apart immediately
in front of the hustings for the friends of the
different Members, and as they observed a commendable
silence during the speaking, there was scarcely any
difficulty in catching what was said, though occasionally there
were some displays of jocularity which seemed to diversify
the quietude of the scene. The announcement of the num-
bers for Mr. Masterman was received with universal cheer-
ing, but the numbers for Russell and Duke were greeted with
mingled cheers and hisses.
Mr. Sheriff COTTERELL, shortly after one o'clock, stated
the result of the poll to be as follows :

d:elc:lared that the election had

fallen on Mr. Masterman, Lord John Russell, Sir James
and theC
Duke, and Baron Rothschild.
Mr. MASTERMAN returned his thanks for having been
elected a third time. It satisfied him that his conduct had
met with the approval of his constituents, and although he
was not prepared to detain them with a lengthened address,
he would promise them to keep a careful and steady watch-
fulness over the interests of the country, and to take care to
be always alive to that which was calculated to advance the
local welfare of the city of London.—(Cheers.)
Lord JOHN RIFSSELL was next introduced to the electors,
and was received with much applause. The Noble Lord, before
he thanked the electors for his return, took the opportunity
of expressing his satisfaction at being sent to Parliament
with the same colleagses that sat with him in the last ses-
sion.— (Cheers.) He viewed the result of this election with
feelings of extreme delight. Only a few days had been de-
voted to the contest, and yet in that brief space a large
number of the electors had spontaneously come forward to
render him support.—(Hear, hear.) He had not shrunk
into a corner like others, but had openly avowed his princi-
ples, and he was rejoiced to find that these principles were
warmly approved of by the city of London. Ile was not in
a position to reveal to them any Cabinet secrets, but he
could foreshadow that " something which loomed in the
future," and with the permission of the electors he would
briefly do so.—(Cheers.) In a few days, when the vote of
the last tenant-farmer should be polled, it would be found
that the country was decidedly in favour of free trade, and
the supporters of protection would have to abandon their
hobby for ever.—(Cheers.) That question, then, being irre-
vocably settled, it would be left for the Legislature to turn
its attention to measures of social and political
reform, with the view of still further extending the principles
of civil and religious liberty, which had been so long the
boast of England, and which were still destined to place her
upon a higher pinnacle than she had ever occupied before.
Sir JAMES DUKE was also greeted with great cheering,
and, in returning thanks for his election, he renewed his pro-
mises to support free trade, an extension of the suffrage, and
all such measures as were calculated to promote the
local interests of the City,—(Cheers.) He had
this morning received a letter from the Rev. Mr. Allan, the
clergyman of his own native town, bearing testimony to the
success of free-trade, and giving his opinion that the majo-
rity of the elected for Scotland would be found to be staunch
advocates of commercial aid Parliamentary reform.—
(Cheers.) Again expressing his gratitude for his return, he
retired from the hustings assuring the electors that it would
be his anxious desire to merit the confidence of his caneti-
tuents.—(Cheers.) his re-
