To the 71- FeTOR7, et the CITY of LONDON.
J
GENTLEMEN,—In compliance with Vse wishes of m slay
of my friends in the City, who think that the sentiments 1
expressed at the meeting of the Liberal Associalon on
Tuesday last have not been published so fully as they ex-
pected, I venture respectfully to place before the electors the
grounds on which I claimed the honour se their suffrages.
My politictl life began with the first agitation of the Corn
Laws, and was a member of the Anti-Corn Law League
Which, under the guidance of 31r. Richsrd Cobden, achieved
their repeal—the greatest social revolution of the age. I
then took an active interest in the abro ttion of the Naviga-
tion Laws, although it was a question which tried the con-
sisteney of free traders more than many of the old school of
shipowners could endure.
These and the other fiscal clurr;:ens of the last twenty years
contr.buted so much to the ha: piltess : aid prosperity of the
country that the grounds for controversy have been narrow d
very much to the Church Rates and the Ballot. On the first
of These I never li sitated for a moment to sulmit they were
most discreoitable to churchmen, who would gladly raise the
sum by a voluntary rate, anti that forcible exaction should
cease without delay. As to the Ballot, althouvli never op-
po- ed to it, I considered that the growing indifference
throughout the country, and the sickly course it Was runninz
in the House of Commons, did cot warrant a Quixotic at-
tempt to press it on tire constituencies of Eng- anti at this
time, feeling sure that if the want of it became a grievance it
must coo. be it( dressed, arid I should be then ready to take
my share in the work.
On the question of the franchise I declined to commit my-
self to its immediate or early reduction, and 1 based this
liesi•ation, not only on what had taken place in America, but
in a field for a fairer trial of democratic government than any
other place in the world—Victoria. Australia—where the
working classes, being chiefly men who had paid their own
passages, involving an outlay of £l5 to £2O, would compare
very favourably wits those they had left behind—that they
had at quired universal suffrage, and the use they had put it
to, as far as they could, was social and political retro ression.
`Etat the community had felt its effects so sensibly that it
lost no time in retracing its steps, and within tour years
new electoral amendment act was passing !riumplian tly a
(in-
volving for the first time the educition test of the elector's
signature) which would disfranchise from one-third to one-
half the electors. At the same time, I stated my willingnessto extend the .-£'o franchise to lodgers, and also would be
glad to see its equalisation in the country as in the towns.
It is a great mistake, as I mentioned, tou s pp se ;hat me-
chanics are now debarred the right of voting, for four shil-
lings a week is so low in the social scale that no w rkman
above the limit of an inferior labourer but lives in a house at
a higher rent, and if he would b a yearly instead of a weekly
occupier, he needs no reduction in the franchise to acqu re
his qualifiettion. On t e question of our foreign Policy I
was quite prepared to take my stand with Lord Palmerston's
Government ; and in any vote for the suppo tt of the army
and navy, I stated that while I would endeavour to control
any unnecessary or doubtful expenditure, I should insist
upon the strength and efficiency
of the ervices being such as
would prevent tt repetition of the panics of former years,
Which were -iscreditable to the nation, injurious to com-
merce, and invited insult, if not aggression—that the cost
Was simply a premium of insurance for security, and a y ex -
penditure was preferable. in a country like cwrs, to feeling
that we were not covered from all ordinary or 'Oen extract{
dinary risks.
In defending the privileges of the City I had no misgivings.
It remains the last unimpaired memorial of the dawn of re-
presentttive government—its traditions are intimately asso-
ciate t with our national history -it still retains the vigour of
maturity, and enjoys the confidence r f tire vast influential
body within its bounds. Sup i a municipality de erves the
respect of the country, and I should in common with my
fellow-citizens endeavour to teach all rash innovators that
we had the power and the will to enforce it.

Tho hon. member for Liekeard addressed a meeting of
his constituents in the Guildhall of that borouga on Wed-
nesday evening, the Mayor, Mr. H. Caunter, presiding.
Osnoneee said he thought he discovered in the
Mayor, who had spoken of him as the "truant member,"
the author of a facetious paragraph in Punch, effering a re-
ward for their missing representative. (Laughter.) He (the
hon. member) was, however, now before them, and was
prepared to review the events of the past session. He was
reminded of an anecdote told of the great Queen Bess, who
was reported to have asked her Minister, the famous Lord
Burleigh, " Whet have you passed in Parliament ?" To
which he replied, " Six weeks." (Laughter.) He (Mr.
Osborne's') answer must be a similar one, for, looking back
to the last two sessions, he was not aware that they had
passed anything but their time, and thatnot in a very bene-
ficial manner. (Laughter.) There was one question in the
last session in which he had taken considerable interest,
viz., the Revised Code. He thought the Government de-
served great credit for attempting to reform the educational
system in this country ; for when they considered that the
grants for education had risen from £30,000 in 1839 to
£140,000 in 1862, they would ba of opinion that it was high
time to grapple with the question. (Hear, hear.) He had
come to the conclusion that we were going too far with
these education grants—(hear)—and that the attempt to
get the whole of the education of the country into the
hands of a Government officer was a great and glaring mis-
take. He held that the Government was not bound to
furnish more than the mere elementary parts of education
—rameling, writing, and arithmetic; the rest should be
done by voluntary efforts. • He pointed -to Prueeikee an
example of the results of State interference in educa-
tion. They saw there a King defying his people, a Minis-
try sneering at the Parliament, and a people so patient
that we held up our hands in wonder, and were induced to
look upon a Prussian as a long suffering animal ; and yet
Prussia was said to be the best educated country in the globe.
Our Government, after a bold stand on this question, had
succumbed, and a compromise was effected, but it would
result in little good. It might check the votes, but we
should still be called upon to vote hundreds of thousands
for State education. Another question which had excited
England in an enormous manner was the great Thames
Embankment question. That was the great question of the
session of 1862, and it was carried. There was another
question which he did not look upon with satisfaction—that
was the Night Poaching Bill, which he had voted against
in all its stages. He did not wish to encourage poaching ;
but he thought the whole system of the Game Laws was
based upon wrong and bad principles. (Hear.) Poaching
had considerably increased since 1857, and this he supposed
was the motive for the introduction of the bill ; but he ob-
jected to the country being taxed for the maintenance of
policemen who were to serve as gamekeepers. Coming to
the session of 1863, the hon. gentleman said he felt much
in the situation of the famous knife-grinder in Canning's
poem,—" Story I God bless you, I've none to tell." The
House of Commons was now an Agaperoone—an Abode of
Love. (Laughter.) There were scarcely any differences
of opinion, and party spirit seemed almost to have died out
except when a debate was got up on foreign politics, in
which respect the policy of the Government seemed to
resemble that of the well-known Mrs. Jellaby in Dickens's
story. They were drawing Reform Bills for Italy, but were
neglecting the reform that was so much needed at home.
He would like to see a little of the same "advice" given to
Prussia. (Hear, hear.) We were putting a finger in every
foreign pie, to the neglect of the roast beef of Old England
(laughter) ; but his idea was that reform, like charity,
should begin at home. (Applause.) He would have liked
to hear of some domestic measures in contemplation, but he
was sure there were none ; for a paragraph in The Times,
which ;wasi the organ of everything and governed this
country, stated that the ensuing session is not likely to be
very busy or eventful, and the Home-office could not un-
dertake a more useful, or popular task than reform in the
standard of bottles. (Loud laughter,) He had been look-
ing in vain for this great measure ; but if there had been no
reform in the standard of bottles, there had been a great at•
tempt to have reform in pots of porter. (Laughter.) He had
been waited on that day by a deputation inreference to Mr.
Somes's Sunday Closing bill, on which measure he would
candidly tell them his opinion. (Hear.) The question was
a much larger one than might at first appear. He did every
justice to the conscientious and good men who thought that
by closing the publichouses they would make men moral
and good; but, although the measure might be good for
the rural districts, in large towns it would be totally im-
possible to carry it out. The mechanics and industrial por-
tioae of the community were suppliedehettktee puleliehouses
in their every-aay weute ; they hartleAr ping et porter ae
regularly as their dinner, end fee could not see why they
should be debarred from this enjoyment any more than the
rich man who could get refreshment at his club. If there
was to be legislation on this subject, let it be impartial, and
apply to the rich as well as the poor. (Great applause.) It
was utterly impossible that we could legislate for one class
and not for the other. We could not expect that men would
be made moral by act of Parliament. We might make
hypocrites but fail to reach the heart, and he could not vote
for Mr. Somes's bill without serious consideration. This
was probably the only domestic question we should have
during this session that was likely to excite the public mind,
People were much more fond, it seemed, nowadays of call-
ing public meetings about the affairs of foreign countries;
accordingly there was great excitement about Poland, but
in holding these n.eetings we should consider whether we
were not doing our best to foment a gallant but useless
struggle. He thought a great responsibility rested upon us
in this respect. (Hear.) We were holding meetings to sym-
pathise with the Poles in their struggle for freedom, but
were we prepared to render them any material assistance ?
If not, we were misleading that gallant people by mere un-
meaning resolutions of sympathy. What they required was
aid, but was England prepared to go to war on behalf of
the Poles—(No !)—or to incur an addition to the pre-
sent taxes to aid the war ? (No.) If not, it was wrong
to encourage false hopes of assistance ; and for this reason
he had refused to attend meetings of this kind, although he
had promised readily to subscribe. Row much wiser had
been our conduct in relation to the war in America. The
Government had acted, he thought, with commendable
prudence in this matter- e(hear)—and he gave Lord Pal-
merston credit for the mariner in which he had steered clear
of the difficulties which beset him and avoided any partici-
pation on either side. (Hear.) The hon. member next re-
ferred to the distress in Lancashire, and applauded the pa-
tient endurance displayed by the operatives under their
sufferings, and he thought the day would come when Par-
liament would best show its sense of that endurance by re-
membering that many of these men were not endowed with
the suffrage. He did not think that the whole of the para-
lysis of industry in the Lancashire districts was attribut-
able to the war in America; he believed the great cause of
distress was the system of over-production. A number of
small mills had been built, and in the year 1859-60 the
number of bales of cotton imported from America was one
million in excess of the number imported in 1848, all of
which had been manufactured in one year, causing a glut
in the markets from which distress must sooner or later
have arisen, independent of the war. But be this as it might,
we had seen in our time the breaking up of one of the
greatest empires the world had ever seen. No man could
read the details of this war, which came home by every
mail, without shuddering at the spectacle of a nation ar-
rayed in arms against each other. Whatever a man's feel-
ings might be in regard to North or South, he could not
look upon the gallant stand made by the South in defence
of their liberties without wishing them success. (Cheers,)
Englishmen, too, would also regret the loss of that brave
and noble hero, " Stonewall" Jackson, over whose tomb a
nation's
be
n'steaeresneweoeureldtedfalfe ages to come. It was l—(aPPlause)—and whose memory
impos-
sible to say at present what would be the result of this
war. It would seem to him that there must soon be ex-
haustion of credit on the one side, and exhaustion of men
on the other; for, after all, the resources of both North and
r
South in respect to men was limited, although he knew that
the North was at this moment recruiting in the sister
country. But take it as we might, a struggle of mercenary
soldiers against a gallant band, however small, who were
fighting for a good cause, could not succeed, and he did not
this country in a probable war ;
and a
believe that the Union would ever be restored. Any inter-
fmereenntcst onkendandn et m
independent
nduder would,ppteeanritnevlvehis he believed, only provoke resent-
ember he could not but admire the
consistent course which had been followed by her Majesty's
Government in respect to this all-absorbing question—a
course in which he trusted they would persist. (Hear, hear.)
He could have wished that the same consistent course had
been persued in respect to the dispute with Brazil, in which

manlike forgetting its dignity,

question had been sub-
,
and able men in Europe—for arbitration, and he
hoped that it would be amicably settled ; but he thought
that great discontent would be excited by our ungracious
conduct. With regard to Italy, he wished to see liberty
prevail all over the world, but he was not so Quixotic in his
notions as to wish to involve this country in additional
taxation in order to aid in the achievement of Italian inde-
pendence. Referring to the defeat of the Metropolitan Police
Bill, the hon. member said he did not wish to see the police
concentrated in the hands of the Home Minister—(applause)
—and he desired to see municipal rights preserved. (Hear,
hear.) He next spoke of the outlay on fortifications, and
condemned strongly the waste of money on the land de-
fences, but said be would vote any amount of money that
might be necessary to preserve the navy in a state of
thorough efficiency, believing that to be the most reliable
means of protection against foreign invasion. In the last
12 years there had been £293,000,000 spent on our military
and naval defences, and now the Government was proposing
to spend nine millions more ; but be believed that at least 25

domestic policy had been fitly characterised by the term of
appear capable even of settling the question of church rates,
last been obliged to abandon it, notwithstanding the talk
which had been indulged in about the British lion not sub-
miting to this obnoxious tax. It' the question was to be set-
tled at all it must be settled by the Government, who might
introduce a wise and moderate measure that would satisfy
both parties. But the people might rest satisfied that while
they remained so apathetic they would have no reform in this
or in any other matter. The measure which the Government
might and ought to take up was the question of reform in
the criminal law, Sydney Smith had said that railway re-
form would never be brought about until a bishop was burnt;
and it was not until a member of Parliament had been gar-
rotted near the ugly monument in Pall-mall that the Legis-
lature had seriously ditectea their attention to the necessity
of dealing with thee° hardenservillains-who had been let
loose on society by the ticket-of-leave system. But, instead
of dealing with these ruffians, and acting on the evidence
at hand, the Government has merely appointed a commis-
sion, the result of which would be an inquiry and the
publication of two or three blue-bootie ; after which the
matter would be forgotten. (Laughter.) Under the present
system criminals were treated with a degree of consideration
that made the gaol a rather desirable place of abode ; and, in
consequence of the maudlin sympathy that existed, these
ruffians experienced a degree of comfort that was unknown
to many honest and hardworking poor man. (Applause.)
Commissions had also been appointed to inquire into the
systems of promotions in the navy, and another had been ap-
pointed with respect to the Ordnance, but " commission" was
only another word for " procrastination." (Hear.) He had
been disappointed on one subject ; when Sir R. Bethell was
appointed Lord Chancellor he had expected to see some use-
ful and much wanted measures of legal reform introduced ;
but accession to the woolsaek seemed to have brought for-
getfulness of the past. There was one man in the Govern-
ment to whom the country might look with hope—he meant
Mr. Gladstone, whose efforts in the way of financial reform
entitled him to the gratitude of the country. It was an
agreeable thing to find that Mr. Gladstone in his last bud-
get had reduced the income tax; and he (Mr. Osborne)
thought that by judicious management the tax might be
dispensed with altogether. He applauded the courage of
the Chancellor of the Exchequer in bringing forward the
subject of the taxation of charities, and believed that, al-
though opposition was shown to it now, the time must come
when this question will be dealt with on its merits. The
only complaint he had to make against Mr. Gladstone was
that after having bade out such a good case against the mis- '
management—the swilling and guzzling that went on
under the name of charity—he had not brought in a
bill for the reform of all the charities throughout Eng-
land. (Applause.) Mr. Gladstone was a man to whom
the people might look with confidence to sway the financial
destinies of the country. He would eventually rise to a
higher position than he had yet done, and if he pursued his
present course, as a practical reformer of expenditure and
finance, he ought to receive the support of the country.
(Hear, hear.) The hon. member, after regretting the death
of Sir C. Lewis, glanced at the recent changes in the
Ministry, and expressed his objection to the policy of placing
so much of the Ministerial power in the House of Lords.
The Secretary of War and the First Lord of the Admiralty
had both great funds at their disposal, and, as the House of
Commons voted those funds, those two officials ought to be
in the lower house. (Applause.; The effect of the Reform
Bill, so far as it concerned the Liberal party, had been to
throw the great Ministerial power into the House of Lords
—and we had now probably the strongest aristocratic Minis-
try ever seen. He did not decry the aristocracy, and thought
it a good thing that the wealth and the nobility of the
country should be adequately represented in the councils of
the nation—but he thought that the Government had
thrown too much of the power of the Ministry into the
'louse of Lords. He thought Lord Ripon well qualified for
the situation he held, but would have preferred to see him
as Lord Goderich in the House of Commons. Coming back
to the state of parties, the hon. member proceeded in a
humorous vein to describe the effete Tories and Whigs of
the old school. We no longer saw any specimens of the old
gentlemen who were formerly depicted in yellow leathers
and drab-coloured tops. They were extinct—possibly,a spe-
cimen might be found in the red sandstone of Devon—(laugh-
ter)—possibly,the jaw bone which had recently created such
a sensation in France might have been the jaw bone of an
aboriginal Tory. (Great laughter.) The Whigs pure,but not
simple, were also extinct. A few might be found. In the
Ashmolean Museum at Oxford there was a rare specimen of
a bird—the dodo—which had neither wings nor tail, and
possibly afew R ondering dodos might bo found in the House
of Lords—(shouts of laughter)—but the great Whig party
was extinct. He might be asked, and he would like to
know, what had become of the great Liberal party—the
tpartythatrea had t

well provisioned and well supplied,but were without leaders
—the consequence was that they were dispirited and disor-
ganised, and their policy was one of retreat rather than of
advance. The leaders were performing a kind of Dutch
concert, each man playing upon his own particular in-
strument—(laughter)—Mr. Berkeley performing an annual
pipe upon the ballot, and Mr. Bright upon peace
—(laughter)--and while the country remained so apathetic
we might take it for granted that no useful measures of re-
form would be carried. He did not see why the two races
mentioned being extinct, a new one should not be created
in which the best elevation of the political spirit of the age
should be blended, and which would be pledged to carry on-
ward the cause of progress and reform. The great thing
to be grappled with in this country was the taxation. The
taxation was too great—it had increased, and was increas-
ing, and ought to be diminished—(cheers)—but it never
would be so long as the people were content to back up the
Ministry in being frightened of foreign Powers and in in-
curring enormous expenses in armaments. (Applause.)
Let the country be properly prepared for defence, but he
implored them not to be led away by foolish ideas of inva-
sion into spending excessive sums which would burden not
only themselves, but their posterity. (Applause.)
A vote of confidence was passed in the hon. member.

SOUTHAMPTON, Thursday Night.
The Royal Mail Company's screw steamer Tas-
manian, Capt. I'. W. Sawyer, Lieut. R.N.R., arrived
at 8 30
p.m. She left St. Thomas's at 6 a.m. on the
15th inst., and brings 2,394,102 doll. in specie,
jewellery value 1,500 dole., plata piva value 6,875
dole., and a full cargo. Her total number of pas-
sengers is 256, among whom are Commodore Dun-
lop and staff from Jamaica.
At, Callao were her Majesty's ships Sutlej, for
Vancouver's Island; Charybdis, for Panama; and
Bacchante, for Tobago. At Martinique, her Majes-
ty's ship Pt wton.
The following Federal ships were at St. Thomas's
—The Vanderbilt, 12; the Alabama, 6 ; the Oneida
and theWauchuset, gunboats; the Sheppard
The Royal Mail steamship Solent was on the
Spanish Main route, the Tuviot at Jamaica, the
Thames at Barbadoes ; the Trent (from Barbadoes
and the Windward islands), the Clyde (from the
Gulf ), the Tyne (from the Spanish Main), the Con-
way (from Jamaica), and the Tamar were •at St.
Thomas.
On the outward passage, on the 10th of April,
6 p.m., in lat. 45.43 N., long. 12.35 W., the Tas-
manian observed a boat on the port beam ; bore
down and found it to be a white-painted lifeboat,
half full of water, with a red.painted burgee with a
black ball in the centre, and the word "Liverpool"
on the boat's quarter. There was no person in the
boat, neither oars, mast, nor sails. Two bundles in
a red and blue handkerchief were laying in thebot-
torn of the boat, and the boat's painter was hanging
overboard, The boat swamped alongside, 2 p.m.,

On the homeward passage the Tasmanian spoke
the following vessels :—May 24, in lat. 41 12 N.,
long. 28 10 W., the bark Indian Queen, from
Barbadoes, homeward; lat. 41 16 N., long. 28 7
W., the iron ship Clyde, from Bombay from Liver-
pool ; May 25, lat. 44 14 N., long. 21 37 W., the
bark Refuge, from Buenos Ayres for London.
The Tasmanian had on homeward voyage, mode-
rate north-east winds for the first week ; strong
south-west breeze and thick rainy weather off the
Western Islands; subsequently light easterly airs
and calm.

At Jamaica the Legislature had been prorogued
by Lieutenant-Governor Eyre, who, in his speech,
stated that no official announcement had been
made as to a successor to Sir Charles Darling.
Business, which for some time past had been dull,
was becoming more active, and stocks of provisions
were not large. The island was generally healthy.
Heat had been excessive, the usual rainy season not
having yet commenced. Crops were being gathered
in in good condition, and shipping active. Among
the recent Acts passed by the Legislature is the
retransfer to the British Government at their re-
quest of the forts and fortifications ; and it is stated
that Port Royal is to be at once strongly fortified.
From Trinidad there is no political news. Weather
very dry and favourable for sugar making; but the
crop will be far short of what was anticipated, owing
to the heavy rains in February and March ; while
the cocoa crop, on the contrary, will far exceed any
previous year by £2,000,000. Trade in general very
dull throughout the island, owing to the low price
of sugar, scarcity of money, and great commercial
distress. Mr. Scott's ordinance for the relief of
debtors under £lO came into operation on the Ist of
May, when 40 were released from the Royal gaol.
Shipping plentiful. Freights 435. for London and
Clyde; Havre, 70f. per ton. Per French steamer
Cacique (new line) 333 bags cocoa were shipped for
Havre, being the opening of a direct trade with
France. Bank rates of exchange—buying, 470;
selling, 485.
Our correspondent at St. Lucia writes as follows
on the 11th instant :—" Sugar making progresses
favourably, but still the yield is far from satisfac-
tory, and the crop in general throughout the island
will fall short of that of last year. The Chancellor
of the Exchequer says the duty is about half the
cost of this article. I regret to say he has derived
his information from a very bad source. In this
island sugar of the very best quality made is sold
from Bs. to 10s., and the duty charged on it in Eng-
land is 13s. 10d., which is fully 3s. 10d. per cwt.
more than the cost of the article. Again, a hundred
weight of sugar sold in England at 325., there are
expenses upon it, including duty, freight, broker,
and merchant's commissions, &c., not less than 21s.
6d., thereby leaving the producer only 10s. 6d.,
which cannot pay him. Sugar is considerably
heavier taxed than tea, and this, lam sure, the
right hon. gentleman would have admitted, had he
obtained proper information on the subject.—No
alteration in exchange."
There is a complete dearth of news from Deme-
rara. The arrivals of breadstuffs for the fortnight
had been moderate, and prices for flour fully sup-
ported. The market was well stocked with all
kinds of salted provisions. The stock of rice was
heavy, and no quotable change in price. Tonnage
was ample for present requirements, and freights
remained unaltered. The weather had been showery
and favourable for growing crops.

At Barbadoes dry weather had set in. Reaping
operations in the outer parishes were considerably
advanced. A deficient crop was considered certain.
The quality of the sugar continued good. There
had been 15,656 hhds., 1,296 tierces, 4,924 barrels
sugar shipped to crate.
Within the last month two crews of 500 and 345
negro slaves have been captured just previous to
their being landed at Colon Bar, opposite Havan-
nah. In April the Vanderbilt, Linoma, Tioga, Oc-
