returned with flying colours of blue and scarlet.
Colonel WOOD, as the Tory candidate, was, in like
manner, accepted in 1841 by the voters of Middlesex.
In 1847, that same Colonel WOOD is rejected by that
same constituency, and two staunch supporters of the
Liberal policy elected as the representative knights of
the metropolitan shire. The triumph of Lord
ROBERT GROSVENOR and of Mr. RALPH BERNAL
OsuoaNz is no mere casual or unnoticeable
success of the principles with which they are
identified. It is a brilliant proof of the predominance
of those principles among the bulk of the intelligent
population, and it should encourage the Liberal
electors of the United Kingdom to ensure in some
manner the election of such men as Mr. ROEBUCK
and Mr. HAWES to seats in Parliament, instead of in-
citing them to raise testimonials of a pecuniary cha-
racter as expressions of esteem and gratitude. In-
stead of speculating upon the possible demise of Mr.
BARNARD, and of the popular favourite THOMAS
DUNCOMBE—both of whom will, we trust, continue
their patriotic labours in the Legislature years to
come—the yet unrepresented electors of England
should endeavour to secure for themselves the intel-
ligence and honesty of HAWES and ROEBUCK.

The explanation given by Mr. JOHN REYNOLDS,
the newly-elected M.P. for the city of Dublin, at
Conciliation Hall, on Monday, of all the incidents
relating to his victory, affords a curious illustration
of the manner in which elections are carried on in
the sister kingdom. If any doubt previously existed
as to the happy land that could boast of Mr. REY-
NOLDS as one of its especial children, it would be
wholly removed by his statement. Although it is
impossible to repress a smile at the tone and manner
of his self-gratulatory harangue, there are circum-
stances connected with the case that undoubtedly
afford matter for deep and serious reflection, and a
due consideration of which will, we trust, lead
to the abolition of some of the abuses that
are still suffered to prevail in the manner by
which the representatives of the people are
elected. Mr. REYNOLDS, with true Hibernian mo-
desty, compares his recent election with that of the
departed Liberator for the county of Clare in 1828,
and he complacently states that his own was by far
the more remarkable of the two, and deduces there-
from equally favourable results to " repeal " as those
which so speedily followed the other victory in the
emancipation of his brother Catholics. The newly-
dubbed M.P., however, proceeds a little too rapidly.
He may be well assured that he is no DANIEL O'CoN-
NELL, neither are the people of both countries so
convinced of the justice and propriety of his present
demand as they were, in 1828, of the necessity for the
immediate removal of all civil and religious disabili-
ties. In that year the most brilliant and able men
of all parties bad proclaimed the injustice of
restrictions affecting large bodies of their fellow-
subjects, for their adherence to the religion of their
forefathers, for worshipping their CREATOR in the
manner which, in their consciences, they believed to
be most correct. The Senate had rung with the in-
dignant eloquence of CANNING, BROUGHAM, PLUN-
KETT, TIERNEY, and BURDETT, and of many other
able and effective coadjutors, in denunciation of the
vile system that had so long been maintained, to
the British disgrace, the worst blot upon the escut-
cheon of England. All the ability, all the enthu-
siasm, was arrayed on the side of those who had so
long been defrauded of their rights, and though an
obstructive policy was acted on by many who still
supported the exclusion, because it had been continued
for ages—because it had become

" An aged rice, a grey iniquity,"

it was apparent that a change was inevitable,
and that the speedy abolition of the obnoxious laws
was a matter of perfect certainty. It was at such a
period that the Clare election added the additional
impetus that was required to effect its immediate over-
throw. Had it never taken place—had Mr. VESEY
FITZGERALD, or even a strenuous opponent of the
Catholic claims, been returned to Parliament en
that occasion, it could not have retarded many
months, if at all, the triumph of truth and
liberality, the victory of equity and justice.
What analogy exists between the then prospects
of Catholic Emancipation, and the present prospects
of the Repeal of the Unlock ? What popular -Talaea
(at least on this side of St. George's Channel) are
uplifted in favour of that demand ? What men of
sterling talent or ability, in the Senate, are now to
be found amongst its advocates ? What legislative
majorities have been proclaimed in its favour ? No,
Mr. REYNOLDS, you may with as much justice arro-
gate to yourself an equality in eloquence, in intel-
lectual power, in discretion, position, and influence
with that illustrious patriot now departed, as you can
compare the delusive mirage of Repeal with the sober
reality of Catholic Emancipation.
The Clare election cost, he said, 14,0001. sterling,
while that for Dublin cost not a farthing beyond
the legal expenses to the Sheriff. In the
former there was long preparation, ample
funds, and influential friends, while in the
latter all these accessories were wanting. The
Tory candidates were both men of large fortune, and
no doubt as to their return disturbed their equani-
mity. The Sheriff's demand, which should be satis-
fied before going to a poll, involved the cost of the
erection of one hundred and eighty-two polling-
booths, with a staff of paid officers in each, with poll-
books and other necessary adjuncts, by which the
preliminary legal expenses were made to amount to
the enormous sum of 2,5001., or 8331. 6s. Bd. for each
candidate ; and 200 paid individuals were employed.
The new legislator describes his position in this diffi-
culty. "There I stood," said he, " in the midst of that
mighty establishment without a penny in my pocket."
(Happy position for an aspirant for senatorial honours
entering upon such a contest !) " We were run to
the saddle skirts. We could only make up 3001. in
subscriptions, and I advanced the balance of the
Sheriff's fees myself." Ingenious Mr. REYNOLDS,
who, without a penny in his pocket, was enabled to
advance, at a moment's notice, some 600/. ! What a
talent would this be for a Chancellor of the Exche-
quer. No wonder that the possessor of such a secret
should become popular. How will his acquaintance
be cultivated by some of his Parliamentary associates,
whose more expensive contests must have deranged
their financial affairs in no trifling degree.
The Sheriff's fees, however, were paid, to
the surprise of the Conservatives, in due time,
although the manner in which the payment was
achieved by the gentleman without a penny in his
pocket, is still involved in mystery. Three hundred
men offered their gratuitous services as poll-
clerks and agents, while ten times that number pa-
trolled the streets as scouts, and used all those mild
methods of persuasion, so usual at Irish elections, to
hurry the reluctant voters to the poll. A patriotic
stationer, Charley Grace, provided poll-books (which,
had there been no contest, would have been left on his
hands a dead loss), trusting to chance for payment ;1
while 300 jaunting cars (the drivers of which were
offended at not being employed on the other side),
brought up the voters without expense.

had at least as much to do with the result
as the feeling in favour of repeal, and, in ad-
dition, there was the general feeling that has
latterly grown up in favour of liberal opinions, that
induced many to prefer even Mr. JOHN REYNOLDS
to the men who had aided in the rejection of the
Catholic Relief Bill, recently introduced by Mr.
WATSON, for the removal of every remaining dis-
ability from his Roman Catholic brethren.
We trust that the* circumstances will not be lost
sight of, but that they may lead to an inquiry into
" legal expenses " at elections, and the placing of the
Sheriff's demand on the constituencies, in place of
the candidates ; and also an inquiry into the privi-
leges of freemen (privileges that are frequently so

grossly abused and perverted), with a view to their
total abolition.

The Prussian State Gazette of the sth publishes
the law, passed by the Diet and approved of by the
KING, removing several of the civil disabilities under
which the Jews of Prussia have hitherto suffered.

The interrogatory of the principal prisoners in the
affair of the revolution in Prussian Poland having
terminated on the sth, the Attorney-General of the
Crown addressed the Court in a speech of three
hours, in which he gave an analysis of the interroga-
tory, and maintained that they had been guilty of
high treason. He, therefore, called for the application
of the law against them. As regards the nationality
of M. MisaoLawsm, he contended that his being a
Frenchman did not render him the less amenable
to the laws of the country against which he had
offended.

At the sitting of the Swiss Diet, on the sth, the
following letter from the Executive Council of Berne
to the Vorort was read :

" Gentlemen,—The Government of Berne is again
obliged to bring under your notice the further communica-
tions which have reached it relative to the demonstrations
taking place in the cantons of the Sonderbund, in spite
of the order of the Diet—demonstrations which each
day acquire more and more extension. We learn by
official reports that on the 9th of July, on a part of the
territory of Lucerne. adjoining the Berne district of
Segnan, reconnaisances of the ground were made on
the Eutlibouch road by several officers of civil and mi-
litary engineers. The following day works of fortifi-
cation were commenced in the neighbourhood of
Wykenbrucke, on the side of Weissembach. The
works occupy a sufficiently great number of per-
sons, and are pursued without interruption. On the
two sides of the road, on the heights, works are
being executed near Wykenbrucke. It is asserted that
in a short time a military post is to be established on
the frontier. Without being desirous of anticipating in
any degree the resolutions which no doubt the Federal
Assembly will take in presence of such acts, which con-
stitute a flagrant violation of the compact, we cannot
dispense with calling your attention to the possible con-
sequences of manifestations of so hostile a character,
and we are bound by so doing to relieve ourselves from
all the responsibility which might result from them."
-

The dispatch was referred to the committee of the
s3ven, amongst whom, it is said, the opinion in fa-
vour of immediate energetic measures is gaining
ground.
We read in a letter from Friburg of the 3d :

" The national association (Vollisbund) which was
finally constituted at Berne on the 27th ult., has officially
notified its existence to the Federal Directory through
its central committee, which is established at Berne,
and has addressed a circular to all the radical so-
cieties of Switzerland, demanding their most ener-
getic concurrence in the work of regeneration, pro-
mising them, in return, its support in case they shall
have to contend against the ill-will or direct resistance
of their respective Governments. Nevertheless, the
central committee, conforming itself to the programme
drawn up after the patriotic meeting at Glaris, an-
nounces that the ass iciation will endeavour to attain its
object by confining itself, as long us it shall be possible,
within legal means, and act by persuasion before having
recourse to more violent measures. The central com-
nittee has sent emissaries into the seven cantons, form-
ing the party of the Sonderbund, to harangue the people
and prepare the way for the Federal Uommissioners,
who are, as there is every reason to believe, about to be
delegated by the Diet. Numerous arrests have been
made by order of the Government of Valais in the dis-
tricts of St. Maurice and Moullay, where the leaders of
the Radical party had succeeded in forming a brigade of
several hundreds of volunteers, who are to join either
the Federal troops or the free corps in case of an attack
upon the Valais." _

The Suabian Mercury has the following from Vi-
enna, dated the 2d :—" We learn that twelve bat-
talions of infantry will soon march towards the
frontiers of Italy and Switzerland. The Government
is resolved that the Radicals in those countries shall
be under no mistake as to its intentions."

A letter from Rome states that the new Secretary
of State, Cardinal FERBETI, has taken the Jews
resident in the capital under his protection, and an-
nounced that he will punish with the greatest possible
rigour all who may insult them.

The people, notwithstanding the assertion of Father
ROOTHAN to the contrary, persist in regarding the
Jesuits as hostile to the liberal system inaugurated by
Pius IX., and the Holy Father himself appears to
concur in that opinion. On the 31st ult., the day of
the festivity of ST. IGNATIUS, the Pora was to have
assisted, according to usage, at a ceremony celebrated
in the church of their convent. To the great
annoyance of the Reverend Fathers, and the
sfttisfstotinn of the people,.the Holy Father thought
proper to depart from the established rule and
abstain. The proceedings against the conspira-
tors were conducted with activity. The arrest of
Colonel FREDDI and Captain ALAI, and the cha-
racter and previous conduct of the persons placed
under the hands of justice, who all belong to the
party of the old regime, afford so many proofs of
the gravity of the plot. All classes of society in
Rome are determined to support the POPE in the
glorious mission he has undertaken. The nobility
and people have given him sufficient proofs of their
devotion. Now is the turn of the clergy. All the
religious orders are anxious to contribute towards
the institution of the National Guard, and to alle-
viate the burdens its organization entails on the
public. They have all subscribed considerable sums
for that object. This conduct of the clergy de-
serves the greatest praise. It now remains to be
seen whether the Jesuits, who possess immense
wealth, will also subscribe. They are very capable
of it.
Letters from Rome of the 31st tilt, mention that
the number of persons implicated in the late con-
spiracy, confined in the Castle of St. Angelo, was
about eighty. One of them, the Chevalier MINARDI,
was said to have made important disclosures. Cc-
lonel FREDDI and Captain ALAI, captured at Came-
rata, on the frontier of Naples, arrived on the 27th
ult. at the castle, in charge of Colonel CAPTIVERA
and a magistrate named MazzA. The PorE had
adopted the helmet, instead of the shako, for the
National Guard, because it was worn by the old
Romans. The other parts of the uniform also re-
semble as much as possible the ancient costume.
The following deputies were said to have been
chosen by his Holiness; namely, Prince SIMONETTI,
for Ancona; the Marquis PAOLUCCI, for Forli;
Count CAMPELLO, for Spoletto ; M. BENEDETTI, a
lawyer, for Civita Vecchia ; M. PIACENTINI, for
Rietti ; and Prince BARBERINI and two lawyers,
MM. LUNATI and VANUTELLI, for Rome.

The Journal des Debuts has a long article on the
letter of M. WARNERY, accusing the Government of
corruption in the affair of the concession of the mines
of Algeria. The Ministerial writer does not attethpt
to disprove any of the allegations of corruption brought
forward by M. WARNERY, but confines itself to as-
serting that M. WARNERY has no right to designate
himself as delegate from Bona, because there is no
municipal council there authorised to appoint a dele-
gate, but that he is merely the delegate of the 121
inhabitants of that place who signed the warrant giving
him powers to act for them. If this is the only reply
that can be given to so grave an accusation, most
assuredly M. TESTE is most hardly used in being
victimised 7. s he has been.
The Constitutionnel, in a long article on the pro-
gress of Liberal principles, passes the following severe
but unfortunately most just judgment on the conduct
of the Guizot Cabinet _ .

"Everything around us progresses towards hberty ;
the principles proclaimed by the French democracy cast
everywhere profound roots in the minds of the people ;

everywhere Governments are obliged to reckon with
that power of ideas, which increases every day. France
alone has not reaped her part in the rich harvest which she
herself has sown, and which appears to be reaped alto-
gether by the labourers of the eleventh hour. What is
the conduct of the French Government ? At home, it
is endeavouring to root up, one after another, all the
germs of liberty and progress ; it recoils before the em-
ployment of no means, however wretched they may be,
to put down in the heart of the populations every gene-
rous aspiration, every disinterestt d idea ; it infuses into
the country egotism, sordid calculations, and the disdain
of every patriotic sentiment : it makes use of corruption
as of opium to lull to sleep a people which was the mis-
sionary of liberty, as Poland was its martyr. Abroad,
not being able to force liberty back, it endeavours to im-
pede its course. In England it eulogized the leaders of the
Tories until the day they became Liberals ; it sought
the alliance of the ultra-Tories, in the hope of overturn-
ing the Whigs, still tottering in power. In Belgium, it
gave its persevering support to mixed Cabinets, the sole
I object of which was to paralyze the liberal movement of
the country. In Switzerland, what has been for two years
its aim ? To make the Diet powerless by rendering a
majority impossible. It has endeavoured as much as
possible to prevent Geneva from joining the other liberal
cantons ; it has rendered a revolution necessary for the
purpose of thwarting this system of tactics, which has
led to no result but to ruin a little Government credulous
enough to look on the eulogiums which were lavished at
Paris as serious, and blind enough not to perceive that
the alliance of the French Cabinet is the first step to-
wards
ruin. In Italy it endeavoured to discourage
the partisans of liberty. It deadened the aspira-
tions of patriotic pride of the Pontifical Govern-
ment, and, because it durst not wound the national senti-
ment, because after a year of doubt and silence it was
obliged to make the amende honorable to public opinion,
because it was obliged to declare that it is the interest of
France that Italy should arrive at liberty, it now wants
to turn these tardy words to advantage in order to give
itself the honours of a patronage which i❑ secret it de-
nies. Is it necessary for us to say what French diplo-
macy has effected in Spain, and what part it desired to
play in Portugal? Sterility, abortion, or scandal are the
fruits produced everywhere by the policy of October 29;
could it be otherwise ? A Liberal Government which
denies liberty, a Government raised to power by insur-
rection, and which imitates divine right, a Government
springing from a reaction against the political influence
of the clergy, and which endeavours at present to revive
for its profit that influence, cannot find any other means
of acting than ccrruptinn, and cannot produce anything
but what is wretched. The effects are similar to the
causes."

The appointment of Count BRESSON to Naples has
been signed by the KING. This appointment is a bad
omen for the cause of progress in Italy.

On the occasion of inaugurating the statue of the
late Duke of ORLEANS at St. Omer, the private secre-
tary of the Duchess of ORLEANS has intimated to the
Sub -Prefect that the Count DE PARIS has been

the Ecole des Arts et Metiers, two boys of the town
of St. Omer; and that, on the completion of their
studies, he will present each with 500 f. in the
Savings' Bank. The Princess desires that the two
candidates may be selected by the municipality.
Great consternation prevails amongst the farmers

COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS'
SCHOOLS FOR ORPHAN AND NECESSITOUS

CHILDREN.
We have from time to time, during the infancy of
the undertaking, drawn attention to the above-named
excellent institution, and we congratulate its pro-
moters upon the success which has already attended
their benevolent exertions. The premises which have
been taken are capacious, and in every respect ad-
mirably adapted for their intended purpose, the
various arrangements for the comforts of the juvenile
inmates especially being as complete, or more so, than
anything of the kind we have ever witnessed. They
are delightfully situated at Wanstead, and the gardens
and playgrounds attached are of considerable extent.
On the 2d instant the institution was opened for the
admission of children, and several of those of both
sexes, who would otherwise have been unprovided for,
are now enjoying the physical, moral, and intellectual
advantages which these schools have been founded to
bestow. On the day named the children, having
previously been arrayed in their new and very
neat habiliments, from which we are glad to
see all distinctive marks or badges have
been wisely excluded by the committee, were attended
to their destination by several of the directors and
other influential frie▪
nds of the society, besides being
accompanied by a considerable number of their rela-
tives and friends. The little people seemed delighted
with their new abode, and soon made themselves at
home, running about the grounds with the apparent
familiarity of a long acquaintance; and the enjoy-
ment of the day was undisturbed, except by a touch-
ing expression of natural feeling on either side as the
hour of separation between them and their friends
approached, whi▪
ch, however, gave rather a grace to,
than detracted from, the general gratification. In
the course of the day the whole party partook of a
repast which had been hospitably provided for the
occasion; and the time of departure having arrived,
the members of the institution and the friends of the
children returned home, the latter expressing their
gratitude for the ki▪
ndness manifested by the commit-
tee towards the youthful objects of their care, as dis-
played in the arrangements made for their happiness
and comfort. We cannot close this brief article

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet,
but steady. Sales 2,500 bales, including 2,000 bales
American at 61d. to 71d. per lb., and 400 Surat at 4id.
to 51d. per lb.
Railway Shares were heavy, and prices again lower.

Although money has become more in demand since
this day week, and is still fully worth 5f per cent. upon
approved securities, one reason is very obvious, viz. an
increased amount of req lirements existing to meet an
augmented trade in the commercial and manufacturing
districts, and as the prospects of the harvest are bril-
liant, so will the spirits of the merchant and trader
become elevated. It is not therefore to be considered a
matter of surrri:e that money stock has recently been
very fully thrown upon the market, the proceeds being
destined to work out a larger rate of interest than is
yielded by the public securities. In the Colonial mar-
kets but a small amount of business has been transacted,
but even these may improve if Corn continues to recede,
and commercial confidence be not so shaken by failures
as to prevent any steady continuance of ease in the
money market. We hear again of one or two houses in
the corn line, both here and in Ireland, being unable to
meet their engagements.

The exchanges were firmer yesterday, but the dis-
count of excellent bills is still as high as 5i and 6 per
cent., where there are three months to run.

The stock market is looking well again, and although
there is not much doing, prices are about * per cent.
higher again. Consols have been 87 to * for present
transfer, and 87* to 878 for account. Exchequer Bills
have been par to 4s. premium. The New Three-and-a-
