AYLESBURY.

Mr. S. G. Smith, one of the sitting Conservative
members, whose address is now in the hands of
the electors of this borough, has taken up his
quarters at the George Hotel, in view of the ap-
proaching election, and a canvass on his behalf is
to be commenced this day. Mr. Nathaniel M.
de Rothschild, Liberal, who is the only other
candidate who has issued his address, has engaged
committee-rooms, but has not yet made his appear-
ance, having been during the past week engaged in
promoting the election of his father, Baron Lionel
de Rothschild, for the City of London. He is ex-
pected, however, to be in Aylesbury to-day to pay
his respects to the electors. Mr. Bernard, the se-
cond sitting Conservative, has not yet issued any
address announcing his intentions.

probably amount to about 6,000 or 7,000 bales.

EXECUTION OF NEGRO SOLDIERS.—TweIve negro
soldiers were executed at Vicksburg on the 26th of
May for the murder of Mrs. Cook and her child. Tho men
had left their camp one night without leave, and for the
purpose of robbery. They.went to Col. Cook's house and
shot him, but after a little time ho managed to crawl out
to a barn. Meanwhile they demanded money of Mrs. Cook,
and on her refusal to give up her property shot her and her
child dead. They sacked and fired the place to wipe out all
traces of their crime. They had a fair trial, and were justly
convicted. Thousands flocked to see the execution. The
ground was kept by their own and other regiments. Being
asked what they had to say, they stated they had fought
for their country, and been taught to hate rebels, but as-
serted their innocence of the murder, and said "Jesus was
their friend." They then sang a hymn, and the chaplain
made a short prayer. The executioner went along, placing
the rope round each man's neck, and adjusting the caps
over their heads. The word was given, and the twelve
men were between earth and heaven. A wild murmur of
the black women and children rang from hill to hill, but
the band struck up, and the multitude gradually dispersed.

HYDROPHOBIA.—The efficacy of Dr. Buisson's
sudorific treatment of hydrophobia, as reported in
Galignani, is confirmed by the Revue des Province; which
quotes from a journal printed in 1830 :—" I remember,"
says the narrator, "a man who formerly lived in the same
place as I did, and who was unfortunate enough to be
bitten by a mad dog. Some time after he fell ill, and
very soon appeared all the symptoms of hydrophobia,
which became so violent that his friends resolved to ter-
minate his sufferings by suffocating him. To accomplish
that dreadful design, four of them extended a feather-bed
on the floor, threw the unhappy man upon it, and covered
him with a second bed, on which they placed themselves to
press upon and smother him. During the time, his wife was
held in the adjoining room by some of her relations. The
state of this unhappy woman may be imagined during the
struggle and groans of the sufferer ; she remained at first
apparently stupified, but when a frightful silence had suc-
ceeded the tumult, she seemed to break loose from her
apathy; the full horror of the scene rushed upon her mind,
and, with a shriek of despair, she rushed into the chamber
of death. With superhuman force she threw aside the
men who were holding her husband down, and pulled
away the bed which covered him. Life had almost de-
parted, but respiration was soon re-established, and at last
he opened his eyes. Tho efforts he made had coyered
him with so profuse a perspiration, that it ran in streams
from the whole of his body. He was calm, and, a short
time after, to the astonishment of all present, announced
that the symptoms of his cruel malady had quitted him.
This man lived long after, had a numerous family, and
never felt any recurrence of the attack."

FIFESHIRE.

Sir Robert Anstruther, who was elected last year
in room of the late Mr. Wemyss, asks renewal of
the honour. On the question of Parliamentary
reform he still thinks that an extension of the
franchise—not in a liberal direction only—
" would at once tend to the establishment of our
constitution upon a broader and firmer basis, and be
a timely and well-deserved concession to the tempe-
rate demands of the intelligent men among the work-
ing classes who are still excluded from its exercise."

On Saturday the Conservative candidates, Sir E.

Marshman, have been very actively canvassing and

BIRMINGHAM.

Messrs. Scholefield and Bright have issued their
addresses offering themselves for re-election. Mr.
Bright says :

" In a few days the Parliament will be dissolved, and
you will be required to select representatives for a-future
House of Commons. I fear the career of the house which is
now about to separate is one which has given you much
disappointment. The election of 1859 was caused by the
question of suffrage-extension, and was intended to pro-
mote an advance, if not a settlement of that question. The
house which was returned at that election has been 'dis-
loyal to its pledges, and has neglected its first duty. The
Administration which in 1859 climbed into office under
the pretence of its devotion to the question of Parliamen-
tary Reform has violated its solemn pledges. Its chiefs
have purposely betrayed the cause they under-
took to defend, and the less eminent members
of it have tamely acquiesced in that betrayal.
The Ministry have for six years held office, which but
for promises they made, and which they have broken,
they could not have obtained possession of even for a day.
No Parliament fairly elected by the nation would have so
treated its constituents, and no Administration so treacher-
ous to its professed principles would have escaped instant
punishment from a Parliament honestly representing the
people. If I felt myself in any degree responsible for the
conduct of the Parliament and the Administration on this
question of Reform, I could not without confusion of face
render you an account of my stewardship, and I could not
hope you would again select me as one of your representa-
tives. But I am free from the guilt of your betrayal. I
have denounced and resisted it to the utmost of my power.
The Parliament is about to expire, the Ministry will soon
undergo changes, or will totter en to its fall ; but the
question of Reform still lives, and at this moment, in the
eyes of its opponents, takes a more distinct shape than at
any other period since the passing of the bill iu 1832. I
trust the result of the coming general election will show
that, notwithstanding the treachery of official statesmen
and the indifference of the expiring Parliament, the cause
of freedom, based on a true representation of the nation, is
advancing with an irresistible force to its final triumph.
If the electors of Birmingham, so honoured by past ser-
vices in this cause, deem mo worthy to speak for them and
for it in the coming Parliament, I shall accept the trust
with gratitude for the confidence they show me, and with
an earnest desire to act worthily in their behalf and in
their name.

BRECON (BOROUGH).
A very influential meeting of electors of various
shades of political opinion was held on Thursday
evening, when it was resolved to return Colonel
Lloyd Vaughan Watkins, the present member, at
the coming election, free of expense or personal
trouble.

CLACKMANNAN AND KINROSS.

Mr. W. P. Adam, M.P. for these united counties,
will be returned without opposition. In his address
he says events' have justified the decision of the
House of Commons in 1859 to transfer power from
the hands of Lord Derby to those of Lord Palmer-
ston. A deficit of £2,500,000 had been changed to
a surplus of £4,000,000, while upwards of

duced.

family, attended by the Court, is expected to leave VS ind-
sor Castle for Osborne a few days after the baptism of the
infant sou of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Prin-
cess of Wales. The Queen, after staying at Osborne some
little time, will return to Windsor, and then, it is under-
stood, proceed to Coburg to inaugurato the memorial to the

THE PRICE OF GAS.—A large and influential
meeting took place this afternoon, for the purpose
of taking steps to abolish the repeal of the Metropolitan
Gas Act ; and also for the compelling the gas companies
either to submit to a reduction of the 1,000 feet of gas
from 4s. to 2s. 9d., or to encounter a strong, determined
and effective competition. There was a very full attend-
ance, and resolutions to the effect aboYe mentioned were
carried unanimously.

The Conservatives of this borough have, after
several ineffectual attempts to oppose Mr. J. T.
Norris, the sitting member, induced Colonel C. H.
Lindsay, of 21, Berkeley-square, London, and High-
hall, Wigan, Lancashire, to come forward, and he
has commenced his canvass with great energy. He
professes to be a Liberal Conservative, and is in
favour of a moderate extension of the suffrage and
a compromise on the church-rate question.

ANGLESEA (COUNTY).

Sir B. W. Bulkeley, the present member for the
county of Anglesea, offers himself for re-election,
though, as he himself states in his address to the
electors, his wish from personal and private reasons
was to retire from a position at all times requiring
energy, and for some months in the year conside-
rable sacrifice of personal comfort. But he adds,
" No candidate having appeared in the field likely
to meet with general support, on the invitation of
numerous influential electors, and at the request of
many personal friends, he is induced again to offer
himself for re-election."

It is now tolerably certain that there will be a third can-

retires with this Parliament from the representation of
Cirencester. Mr. Ponsonby's name has been before the
constituency for the past week or two, but there has been

of the electors on Tuesday evening. Mr Horsman is an-

Gen. Peel and Mr. T. Baring, the Conservative sitting
members, have issued addresses soliciting re-election. Gen.
Peel observes that in the true spirit of Conservatism he
shall ever be ready to support measures for the progressive
improvement of our institutions, the amendment of our
laws, the promotion of sound religious education, and the
general welfare of the nation. Mr. Baring states that it is
his wish to support the rights of the Chuach without in-
tolerance, and the constitution of " this happy country"
without hastily rejecting any proposals which may tend to
invigorate it.

LUDLOW.

The Liberal candidate for the borough has at length made
his appearance in the field in the person of Sir W. Yardley,
once Chief Justice of Bombay. In his address he refers to the
acts of the Liberal Government, which he commends, and
says the question before the people is whether this course
of legislation shall bo pursued or chocked and obstructed.

GLAMORGANSHIRE.

It is reported that the two sitting and Liberal
members, Messrs. IL 11. Vivian and C. R. M. Tal-

the Conservative party receiving any support from
this county.

again in the field, candidates for re-election. Both
are Conservatives.

TEWKESBITRY.

There will be a contest here notwithstanding the state-
ment made in the papers last week that Mr. Martin, the
sitting member, would retire. Ho has just issued an address
soliciting re-election, in which he says, " It is with the ut-
most confidence that I ask you again to commit to my care
that trust with which you have honoured me before,"
&c. Mr. York, the other member, also asks re-election on
Conservative principles. The address of the new candidate,
Mr. Dowdeswell, of Pull-court, states that, " educated in a
political school," he is warmly attached to the principles
which are advocated by the Conservative party."

CARDIFF.

A contest in this borough becomes daily less pro-
bable, Mr. Hardinge Giffard, Q.C., the new candi-
date in the Conservative interest, not having issued
his address or made any canvass of the electors. It
is understood that Mr. Giffard, not receiving the
anticipated support from the Bute party, has given
up any hope he may have had of successfully op-
posing Col. J. F. D. Crichton Stuart, who is held in
high esteem both by Liberal and Conservative elec-
tors.

the hands of Lord Derby to those of Lord Palmer..

a surplus of £4,000,000, while upwards of
£10,000,000 of the National Debt had been re-

Mr. B. J. H. Harvey, of Norwich, has issued his address
as an independent advocate of progressive measures con-
ceived in a Conservative spirit. Mr. A. IL Baring, the Con-
servative sitting member, has also issued his address solicit-
ing re-election. Lord. F. Fitzroy retires, and Mr. Harvey and
Mr. Baring will probably be returned without opposition.

HUNTINGDONSHIRE.

As stated in The Sun of Saturday, Mr. E. Fellowes and
Lord IL Montagu solicit re-election. Lord llobert observes
in his address:—

"During the last Parliament the country has been saved
from democratic reform by a judicious abandonment of the
principles which the Government had rashly professed. A
triumph of party having been achieved, it was unnecessary
for the Ministers to regard the pledges which had brought
them into power. The Radical party has since then retained
office, because the Conservative character of its veteran
leader has been a warrant for the moderation of its mea-
sures. The lateral Reform' which was proposed by Lord
Derby would have admitted many educated to a voice in
the government of the country. The degradation of the
franchise, which was ostensibly substituted for it, has been
rightly regarded with suspicion by the nation. It would
have swamped the present constituencies."

TAMWORTII.

The following address has been issued by Sir H. Peel:—
" The business of the Session will shortly be brought to a
close, when a proclamation dissolving Parliament will be
issued, and the constituencies of the country will be invited
to select their representatives in a new House of Commons.
Under these circumstances I beg respectfully to solicit at
your hands for the seventh time a renewal of the trust
which for many years you have done me the honour of
confiding to me. My political opinions are well known
to you; and, as during several years I have held office
under the Grown in the Government of the country, I have
paid much attention to public businegs, and venture to hope
that, my past conduct in- Parliament meets with your ap-
proval. The Parliament, now on the eve of dissolution, as
you are aware, was elected in 1859, since which compli-
cations have existed in Europe and in America, but the
course of events has fully justified the confidence of the
country in the wise and beneficial legislation of the Go-
vernment of Lord Palmerston, for while our national de-
fences have been placed in a thorough state of efficiency,
eleven millions of taxes have been remitted ; and yet, not-
withstanding these reductions in the burdens of the people,
there has been during the last three years a considerable
surplus of income over expenditure. Many important mea-
sures of domestic legislation have, since 1859, passed into
law, and while there has been no indisposition on the part
of the Government fairly and honourably to accept the re -
sponsibility of every pledge given by it on taking office, it
has also manifested a laudable desire to act in a spirit of
just and impartial legislation towards all classes and sec-
tions of the community, in a manner which cannot fail to
recommend its policy to the favourable consideration of the
country. The new Parliament will have to deal with ques-
tions of no less importance than in the past ; such as, for
instance, among other subjects, questions of railway legis-
lation, colonial policy, and the reform of the franchise, and
if during the next session the latter question of the lower-
ing of the franchise should come before the House of Com-
mons, I shall be prepared to give any well considered mea-
sure my best attention, reserving to myself, in accordance
with what I believe to be the view of the constituency I
have so long represented, and of the country generally,
the right of opposing any such extension as will disturb
the balance of the Constitution."

EDINBURGH.

An extremely keen canvass is going on for both
sets of candidates, and both sides are exulting in
hopes of success. The result is certainly doubtful,
and it is not unlikely that a candidate may be re-
turned from either side. A meeting of the Roman
Catholic electors was held on Friday, when the com-
mittee recommended that they should vote for the
Lord Advocate and Mr. Black. A resolution was
moved hostile to Mr. Black. The meeting was
nearly equally divided in opinion, and it was dis-
puted which motion was carried. The nomination
will take place on Tuesday, the 11th.

CANTERBURY.

A section of the Liberals here seem determined to
have a contest, notwithstanding the tacit under-
standing among the leaders of the two parties that
Mr. H. A. Butler-Johnstone, Conservative, and
Major Lyon, Liberal, should have a walk over.
There is much dissatisfaction that a few persons
should take upon themselves to arrange the represen-
tation without any reference whatever to the elec-
tors generally. Fruitless attempts were made on
Thursday and Friday to induce Lord Athlumney to
offer himself for re-election, but he adhered to
his determination to retire.

showing an increase of $1,291.

OXFORD UNIVERSITY.

The statement that Mr. Gladstone would be withdrawn
from the University of Oxford is, we have authority for
stating, entirely without foundation. The result of the
election, it is true, cannot be predicted with any degree of
certainty in consequence of the large number of members of
Convocation who will not promise their votes ; but Mr. Glad-
stone's friends at Oxford are very sanguine of success ; in-
deed, to use a sporting phraseology, the Chancellor of the
Exchequer is the favourite at slight odds. Mr. Gladstone
will, we understand, be again proposed to Convocation by
the Very Rev. the Dean of Christ Church, and the President
of St. John's College (the Rev. Dr. Wynter), who proposed
the Marquis of Chandos in opposition to Mr. Gladstone in
1859, will, we hear, bring forward Mr. Gathorne Hardy. The
election, in accordance with the provisions of the Act of
1861, is limited to five days, and members of Convocation
can either vote by " papers" or in person. There will bo
two more degree days this Term, and it is expected further
additions will be made to the register of Convocation by the
admission of new masters.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was a large supply of foreign stocks on offer here
to-day, chiefly in middling condition. Amongst it were
1,300 beasts frem Tonding. Some of the Dutch beasts
realise 4s 8d per 81bs.

The arrivals of stock fresh up from our own grazing
districts were very moderate. For good and prime beasts
the demand ruled steady, and in somo few instances the
quotations had an upward tendency. Otherwise, the beef
trade was dull at about last Monday's currency. The best
Scots and crosses realised 5s per 81bs. A few very superior
Scots at 5s 2d per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 900 Scot; &c. ; from Lincolnshire, and North-
amptonshire, 1,200 short-horns, &c. ; from other parts of
England, 400 various breeds ; from Scotland, 220 Scots
and crosses ; and from Ireland, 60 oxen and heifers.
Tho show of Fnglish sheep was very limited, about a
moiety of the total supply being derived from abroad, but
in fair average condition. Downs, half-breds, Lincoln;
and Leicesters moved off steadily on rather higher terms.
Inferior sheep were a slow inquiry at late rates. The top
figure was 6s por Sibs.

Lambs—the supply of which was moderate—sold slowly
at from Gs to 7s 4d por 81bs.
We had a steady sale for calves at slightly enhanced
rates. The top quotation was 5e 2d per 81bs.
Pigs changed hands slowly, yet prices wore supported,

IiEREFORDSHIRE.

In this county three members have to be elected.
Two of the sitting members—Lord W. Graham
(Conservative) and Mr. Mildmay (Liberal)—retire,
and Sir J. R. Bailey (Conservative) and Mr. Bid-
dulph (Liberal) offer themselves in their stead, Mr.
King King soliciting re-election. Mr. Bidduiph's
address has been out some time, and has just been
followed by those of Sir J. R. Bailey and Mr. King
King. The former in his address says :

"My opinions are Conservative. lam willing to consi-
der any proposition which may be brought forward for
ameliorations in our Constitution which would not endanger
the stability of that excellent form of Government under
which we *have the happiness to live.

FLINT (COUNTY).

Lord Richard Grosvenor offers himself for re-
election. lie states that he can conscientiously assert
that he has acted up to the course of duty which he
had laid down for himself when elected in 1861. He
is a supporter of a Liberal Government, and a total
abolitionist of church rates, all compromise having,
in his opinion, proved ineffectual.

PEMBROKESHIRE.

Mr. Lort Phillips has issued an address, dated from the
Carlton Club, in which he seeks a renewal of the support
given to him at the last election.

PRESTON.

The addresses of Sir T. G. Hesketh and the Hon. F.
Stanley, son of the Earl of Derby (the two Conservative
candidates), were issued on Saturday. The. Hon. F. Stan-
ley's address to "the free and independent electors" runs as
follows :

" I have, it is true, no past services in Parliament to
which I can refer, but my close connexion with the acknow-
ledged head of the groat Conservative party will, I trust,
be a sufficient guarantee that I shall faithfully adhere to
their principles, which aro, moreover, in entire accordance
with my own convictions. As an attached member of the
Established Church, I feel myself bound to uphold those
rights and privileges to which she is entitled as an essential
part of the constitution of the country ; but my vote will
always be given in favour of any measures which may
secure to those who dissent from her communion the ful-
lest and freest exercise of their religious and civil rights.
I believe that the truest economy and the best security for
continued peace are to be found in the maintenance in a
state •of perfect efficiency of our naval and military esta-
blishments : but the patriotism and public spirit which have
led to the formation of our present splendid Volunteer
army have largely increased the national means of defence
against foreign aggression, and rendered less necessary
such a numericanorce as would unduly burden the re-
sources of the country."

HUNTINGDON.

Gen. Peel and Mr. T. Baring, the Conservative sitting
members, have issued addresses soliciting re-election. Gen.
Peel observes that in the true spirit of Conservatism ho
shall ever be ready to support measures for the progressive
improvement of our institutions, the amendment of our
laws, the promotion of sound religious education, and the
general welfare of the nation. Mr. Baring states that it is
his wish to support the rights of the Chuach without in-
tolerance, and the constitution of '• this happy country"
without hastily rejecting any proposals which may tend to
invigorate it.

LANCASHIRE (SOUTH).

It is tolerably certain that a contest is to take place for
the Southern Division of Lancashire. The three sitting
members—Messrs. Algernon Egerton, William J. Legh,
and Charles Turner—have issued addresses to their con-
stituents, offering themselves for re-election. They state
that they belong to the Conservative and Constitutional
party, and point to their votes in the house as an evidence
of the sincerity of their professions.

WORCESTER (CITY).

Three candidates are now fairly in the field for this city,
and a fourth announced. Mr. Padmore (one of the sitting
members), Mr. Sherriff (Liberal), and Mr. Levick (Conser-
vative) have issued their address, and the canvass has been
commenced,. Mr Padmore and Mr. Sherriff have a joint
committee, and the Liberals are most confident of success.

party considerations when he thought tke interests of the
country were the other way. The addms of Mr. Moline
throughout was most moderate, declaring pelf willing to

West Hartlepool and Cleveland and North Eastern
(Amalgamation) Bills.

AYLESBURY.

Mr. S. G. Smith, one of the sitting Conservative
members, whose address is now in the hands of
the electors of this borough, has taken up his
quarters at the George Hotel, in view of the ap-
proaching election, and a canvass on his behalf is
to be commenced this day. Mr. Nathaniel M.
de Rothschild, Liberal, who is the only other
candidate who has issued his address, has engaged
committee-rooms, but has not yet made his appear-
ance, having been during the past week engaged in
promoting the election of his father, Baron Lionel
de Rothschild, for the City of London. He is ex-
pected, however, to be in Aylesbury to-day to pay
his respects to the electors. Mr. Bernard, the se-
cond sitting Conservative, has not yet issued any
address ann.ouncing his intentions.

Mr. R. J. H. Harvey, of Norwich, has issued his address
as an independent advocate of progressive measures con-
ceived in a Conservative spirit. Mr. A. H. Baring, the Con-
servative sitting member, has also issued his address solicit-
ing re-election. Lord. F. Fitzroy retires, and Mr. Harvey and
Mr. Baring will probably be returned without opposition.

YORKSHIRE (SOUTH-WEST).

The announcement that Viscount Milton and Mr. R. H.
Beaumont had consented to become candidates in the Li-
berel interest for South-West Yorkshire, caused consider-
able excitement at Sheffield, Doncaster, and other towns,
and the Conservatives were speedily on the alert. A meet-
ing of the Doncaster committee for Messrs. Denison and
Stanhope was held in the afternoon of Saturday at Messrs.
Baxter's offices—and this was followed up by a meeting of
the Liberals at the office of Mr. Joseph Wright, county
coroner, where arrangements were entered into for an
energetic canvass of the district for Viscount Milton and
Mr. Beaumont. Whatever the result of the election may be
the Liberals have lost considerably by Ithe apathy of their
leaders and the conduct of Sir John• Ramsden, who was
chosen, in the first instance, in conjunction with the Hon.
C. W. Fitzwilliam.

YORKSHIRE (WEST), NORTHERN DIVISION.
There does not appear to be much probability that there
will be a contest for this division. The leaders of the Con-
servative party held a meeting at Leeds, on Friday, with
the Hon. Geo. E. Lascelles in the chair, when letters were
read from Mr. Rowland Winn, chairman of Messrs. Deni-
son and Stanhope's committee, and other gentlemen, in re-
ference to tho position of the party in the nothern division
as well as to the prospects of the election in the southern
divison. Various suggestions were made as to what steps
should be taken with regard to contesting the representa-
tion, several gentlemen appearing to favour the idea that
it was desirable to test the relative strength of parties in the
northern division, but with the prospects of the Conserva-
tive party in the southern division and in the probable event
that there wfll be no opposition there, the prevalent feel-
ing appeared (tolbe that it was not expedient to provoke a
contest in the northern division. Whether any change will
take place on the part of the Conservatives in the northern
division in consequence of its being the intention of the
Liberals to contest the southern division with two candi-
dates, time will show ; but the general impression is that
the Conservatives have no chance with any candidate in the
northern division against the present Liberal candidates,
Sir F. Crossley, M.P., and the Hon. F. C. Cavendish.

FALKIRK BURGHS.

Mr. Merry, who has served the constituency for
eight years, solicits re-election. lie thinks a length-
ened declaration of his opinions can scarcely be ne-
cessary now, but he says with confidence that expe-
rience has not merely confirmed, but greatly
strengthened those liberal opinions with which he
first entered Parliament.
London, England, 1865-07-03

HERTFORDSHIRE.

On Saturday Sir E. B. Lytton, Mr. A. Smith,
and Mr. Surtees, the three Conservative candidates
for the representation of this county, met some of
their constituents at the Corn Exchange, Market-
cross, St. Alban's. The hon. gentlemen have met
the electors during the week at various parts of the
county, and at Hemel Hempstead Sir A. Cooper
proposed a resolution pledging the electors to sup-
port the three gentlemen, and this was carried,
though not unanimously. Sir E. B. Lytton, in ad-
dressing the electors, said that in a few days the
old Parliament would be gathered to its fore-
fathers, and the representatives of Hertfordshire
had come, to use a Parliamentary term, to " report
progress and ask leave to sit again." He was
not quite recovered from his recent illness,
and this prevented him from addressing them at
any great length, but there was little neces-
sity for his doing so, as he had an advantage over
Mr. Cowper, the candidate in the Liberal interest,
inasmuch as he had served the constituency for 13
years, and could point to the record of his opinions,
to be found in the votes and debates of Parliament.
Yet Mr. Cowper, who had not that reference to give,
was as vague upon all special public questions as if
he were setting an example of caution to the Minister
for Foreign Affairs. (A laugh.) At the last election
Mr. Cowper was explicit enough about the malt-tax
and church-rate questions, but he now avoided any
reference to those delicate topics, and his address
somewhat resembled the red daub which an ingenious
artist painted as a representation of the Israelites
crossing the Red Sea, a subject chosen by an inn-
keeper for his sign. The artist explained that Pha-
raoh and his host had gone to the bottom, and that
the Israelites had crossed over ; and Mr. Cowper's
daub, not red but orange, was a vague splash, with
church-rates and Dissenters drowned in the midst,
and farmers and the malt-tax safe on the other side.
(Laughter and cheers.) A Ministerial candidate
could not claim for the Government the merit of
