upon the hustings showed a gallantry such as could
not fail to extort a certain degree of admiration from
the-noisiest of his antagonis.s. Instead of allotting
himself to be coolly bantered into- retirement, the
Marquis of BLANDFORD appeared to be desirous of
showing himself to his opponents in the county of
Middlesex. before the close.of the electioneering ex-
citement, if only for the purpose. of assuring them
that their favourite.and himself had so far preserved
their good will towards each other that they bad
shaken bands instead of exchanging cards for return
tickets to Weybtidge. Then, again, his rival—
always an animated and delightful speaker to listen
to, either within or without the Commons' House
of Parliament—spoke at some length, and spoke,
too, Ia a manner more than usually delighttuf
and more than ordinarily animated. His speech was,
for the most part, replete with a pleasant badinage
that could scarcely have been objected to by the
most fastidious, or even by the most atrabilious
among his opponents. .Cardinal Wesemete him-
self could hardly have refrained from smiling
at that allu.ion to his name, in which Mr.
Ot,BORNE design ;1:-ed him " a genleman whom, a,
he had never seen, so he wished he bad never heari
or," seeing that he had caused him a most extraordi
nary degree, of trouble and enxieq. Having agAin
reminded his hearers, as he bad done before at Kiog's-
cross, on Wednesday, that the real question submitted
to them was a question of English beef rather than of
Roman bulls, he humorously referred to the man-
, ner in svnich the veritable matter at stake. bad been
blinked by the ingenious advocates of the isterests of
Lord Daisy's Government. He observed, for ex
ample, that when we questioned them as to their
Protectionist theory, they talked of their Protestant
principles—and when we hinted at reform they
quietly referred us to the Pore. In this contetnp-
tuous mood it was that Mr. BERNAL Ossoarre re-
ferred to the disinterment of " the fossil remains of
an extinct monster which had led to the exhibi-
tion of the hoofs arid horns of the bugbear
of Na Popery," with the intention doubtless of
scaring the imagination and prejudicing the totes of
the electors of the county of Middlesex.
Before the close of Mr. OblriltriE'S harangue to
his supporters arid to the supporters also of his col
league, Lord ROBbRTGRoiVENOR, we are rrj,iioed to
observe that due mention was wade of the thanks
due to one of the moat distinguished of our veteran.
Reformers. After avowing that it would be impos-
sible for him to have appeared then upon the hust-
ings -without proclaiming•his obligation to those who ,
had by their votes rendered him one of the two L'beral
repres-nt,ttives of Middlesex, BEKNAL 0611910 g con-
tinued—" Sill, how can I retire without exprese-
ine, in words which I am sure you will take up
and re-echo, my gratitude to a man who has stood.

going from Breetford to London,, and from Lott.

Can I• forget this 2--(Cheers) Can you for-
get it.—(Renewed cheers.)" The acclamation's
with which that deserved eulogiurn Was received
were evidences of that sincere and most unaffected
respect with which Mr. Hums is regarded by the
whole Mass of Reformers throughout the United
Kingdom. During forty years—as the Hon. and
Gallant Member for Middlesex observed yesterday— 1
during forty years has Joss Pll HuME laboured man ully
in the cause of reform and of the popular advancement
generally—lnd now, as the Father of the House of
Commons, his clear judgment and his generous di,-
intetesteduess are alike received with veneration by
all classes of politician's iudiscrimmately., It was
well, therefore, to proffer this tribute of gratitude to
one to whom the nation has, in truth, such reason to feel
grateful. _ _

Everything considered, the elections not alone of
Altddiesex or of North Northumberland, but of the
three.kingdoms generally, assure us that the recent
kii,solution canuo: be long unfollowed by its succe,sor,

After the House of Commons has once assembled,
the calcula ions of oar administrator?, both on the
side of the Givernment and on the side of the.
o,,positLn, must be to estimate the probable
litiratiora of the time before the . next appeal
to the country will be r, quisite, so that
next time at least due preparation may be made for
the electioneering struggle both by Liberals and
Conservarives, by Del by i!es and Reformers. During
the re ci,nt cutest it has, we conceive, wi'h one
or two remarkable exceptions, been tolerably
apparent that all parties alike have marred
heir energies by the mistake of over con-
tideoce. Hence that balance of interests productive
of an equilibrium SO complete as to lead only to
legislative syncope and administrative stagnation.

In our impressien of y eserday was announced the
death of one of those distinguished soldiers of the
Empire, whose brilliant constellation was grout. ell
,round the dazzling orb of NAPOLEON is the early
year': of the praseuc century. At the good old age of
seventy-six; the Count ExcELsia!as, Manna' of
France, was snatched away by a sudden accident of
a like nature to that which, two years ago, deprived
us of the great stee4man whose loss we still feel so
aensibly in the politicial world. Ou Wednesday even-
log at about ten o'clock, as the Marshal was proceed•
ing on horseback, accompanied by his son, and at •
tended by a groom, to pay a vi-it to th-,
Princes* MATHILD2, the daughter of Journals
BONAPARTE, at Brett-nil, near St. Cloud,
a carriage suddenly came against bis horse, which
reared, and threw him to the ground. H. was in •
stantly taken up by his son and the servant, and
carried in a senseless state to an inn hard by, laid
upon abed, and every possible attention paid hint.
An express was immediately dispatched fur surgical
assistance, and in a abort time five medical men were
in attendance, who proceeded to the pwient, who ap-
peared to be rapidly sinking. An attempt- to bleed
flirt) produced no perceptible result, yet there was no
appearance on the body of fracture, or even con-
tusion, to account for the dangerous symptoms that
were manifested ; but, on examining the head, the
skull was found to be fractured. As it was now
evident that dissolution was approaching, a
priest was sent fur, and on his arrival
the rite of extreme unction ras administered, the.
Princess MATIIILDe, who had arrived, on receiving
information of the deplorable accident, andfher com-
panion, Ducos, wife of the Minister of Ma-
rine, kneeling at the feet or the Marshal, and 'reciting
the prayers for the dying. He,' however, neither'
spoke or showed any sign of consoiousnels, mirth,
four hours ceased to breathe. Thus, after having
escaped the fires
.of on many a desperately
foughten field, was one of the five surviving Mir.'
