The Representation of Huddersfield.

Mr. T. P, Crossland, who will contest Hudders-
field at the next election, has issued an address to
the electors of that borough, in which he says :
" In politics I am a Liberal, as I have always been ;
and I shall continue to support such measures of
reform as are likely to advance the interests and
develope the intelligence and resources of this great
country. I should support a large and well-consia
dared measure of parliamentary reform, introduced
either by the Government of the day or by a power-
) ful patty in Opposition ; and I am anxious to see
any suer measure aim rather at the extension of
the suffrage to the intelligent, industrious, and
thrifty portions of the now excluded than merely
at the lowering of the brick and mortar test.
With my present views 1 would support a
measure based on a £6 rating for boroughs and
a £lO rating for counties, I would further give
the vote, both in counties and boroughs, to every
man assessed to the income and property tax. Be-
lieving, as I do, that while any portion of the
community remains excluded from the franchise,
and those who possess it hold it as a trust, I regard
it as essential to the proper exercise of that trust
that it should be openly discharged, and I cannot
therefore support the ballot. As a sincere Church-
man, and in the interests of the Church itself, I feel
that in the absence of a well-considered and approved
compromise of the conflicting interests involved in
the difficult question of Church rates, it would be
wise to abolish such rates altogether; but at the
sometime I hold myself free to vote either for their
total abolition or for any attainable fair compromise
and just settlement of the question: While I would
advocate economy in every branch of the public
service, I would, at the same time, maintain our
national defences prepared and fitted for every pos-
sible emergency. I have been, and still am, a
great admirer of Lord Palmerston, and in the main
lamso of his present Government. I would, how-
ever, afford a cordial and willing support to Lord
Derby or any other Minister introducing such mead
sures and so conducting the Government of the
country as would in my judgment promote its pro-
sperity and maintain its honour and dignity. In
a word, if I go to Parliament, I go as an indepen-
dent member, free to act and to vote as my own
judgment, guided by the leading principles I have
stated, may dictate or suggest. I would meddle
as little in the affairs of other nations as may
be compatible with the high position this
great country ought to occupy, having duo regard
to its extensive commercial interests and to its
numerous distant dependencies. I very much ap-
prove of the part take❑ by the Government with
reference to toe sanguinary conflict still waging
across the Atlantic. lam not, in the present state
of things, prepared to advocate our going to war,
single handed, on the Danish question. At the same
time I deeply regret that our Government should,
by its conduct, have held out to Denmark hopes and
expectations which it was not prepared to maintain
and secure, by armed interposition it accessary; and
as a general rule, I regard it as derogatory to the
influence and prestige of this country to interfere in
the affairs of other nations, unless prepared to assert
her power and authority if remonstrance should
prove unavailing."

THE BUILDERS' LOCK OUT IN VII OLVERHAMPION.
—Yesterday building operations recommenced at
Wolverhampton, after a six weeks' part strike and part
lock out. The bricklayers have mediated between the
labourers and the master builders, and induced the men to
withdraw the notice for an advance of wages, on the ground
that they ought to have given a three months' and not a
fortnight's notice ; the masters, on the other hand, have
withdrawn the lock out. This done, the masters gave the
labourers an advance of is a week all the year round, to
make 18s in, the summer and 16s in the winter, but they
refuse to make the wages in the winter equal with thos3 in
the summer, which the men at first required. They have,
however, promised to consider any application that the men
may make to then on, any occasion after a three months'
notice,
