faction. It is alinost due to the once maligned isrsises
plea with which the name of Mr. Vitaanns has be-
come so gloriously associated, it is almost due to the
character of the Hon. Gentleman the Member for
Stockport, that the man who, during so many suc-
cessive sessions, demanded from the floor of the
House of C Annsons the abolition of the restrictive
duties upon foreign corn, should re-enter that Hoe
noureble house as the refatesentativo knight of one of
the most important counties in the United Kingdom.
However much Wolverhampton might exult in
the retention of its now celebrated Member, we are
persuaded that that eminent constituency will eagerly
sacrifice its own laudable predilections for the ad-
vancement of the rights and the consolidation of the
power of the liberal possessors of the franchise. Mr.
VILLIERS, it must be remembered, was for years the
scapegoat of all the puling sarcasms and malapert
panci-s of the then formidable and predominant party
of Protectionists. In a manner be was the recipient
of as many indignities and gibes as was the elder
BRUTUS, - but, unlike that antique patriot, he
abstained from raising the avenging hand in
the days when his long-sought triumph had arrived.
Throughout the stormiest time of opposition he was
foremost in the ranks of the free-traders, bearing the
brunt of that prolonged battle, and accumulating on
his own head almost all the obloquies and vitupera-
tions of his Conservative antagonists. When the
agricultural Moloch was at length destroyed, and
the principles of perfect emancipation to commerce
recognised as most in accordance with the divine
laws of nature--and the sublime ordinations of
Christianity, the Hon. Representative of Wolver-
hampton in no way endeavoured to continue promi-
nently before that public whom he had served so
gallantly, and for whom he had borne so much
abuse and so many reputable reverses. The greedi-
ness of the baser class of reformers found no sym-
pathy in his disposition—he had none of that ignoble
hungering after applause and notoriety which
is the curse .;of the political Sir EPICURE
MAMasoss. Neither, on the other hand,
did he evince any tokens of satiety in
popular agitation; he was no legislative ennuyte, no
democratic POCOCURANTE, disposed to yawn over the
excitement of partiei, and the clash of opposing argu-
ments. Such fictitious patriots there are, there have
been, and there ever will be, as long as there are pro-
vocatives of a man becoMing blase, or, as Mr. BOURCI-
CAULT has translated it, utterly "used up." But
among these the Hon. CHARLES PELHAM VILLIERS
can most certainly never be enumerated. His career
from its commencement has been modelled upon that
wisest of all systems, the juste milieu. In adventur-
ing upon the conquest of a thousand agricul-
tural prejudices, he was bold without auda-
city, and in assisting in the downfal of pro-
tection, he evinced generosity without display-
ing weakness. As the Protective system was essen-
tially the pedestal of the statue of Conservatism, in the
destruction of that pedestal the sisperincumbent mass
was in like manner dashed into ruins. Here was an
opportunity for exultation ! Here was a theme for a
peen ! Mr. VILLIERS betrayed an entire indiffer-
ence to that oppiirtunity. The incubus of the
industrious poor was removed—the enemy of
the laboaring classes was overthrown—the corn-
laws were abrogated. The work which the
Honourable Member for Wolverhampton had
originally mapped out for himself was accom-
plished; his most cherished aspirations were realised;
and, satisfied with this position of affairs, he seemed
in the very flush of victory to seek the shade of re-
tirement. It is well, therefore, as an expression of
national gratitude, that the Hon. CHARLES PELHAM
VILLIERS should enter the New Parliament as the
knight of a shire, and it is better still, as an ex-
ample for all future politicians, that the modesty of
this patriotic representative should be so responded to
by the community. Hence, we are peculiarly, re-
joiced that the Member for Wolverhampton has been
returned by the constituency of South Lancashire'

The tug of war has commenced in Ireland, the
nomination of the several candidates for the City and
University of Dublin has already taken place, and,
practically, Mr. JOHN REYNOLDS 15 the only oppo-
nent of the former Members in the city, if indeed,
he has been enabled to overcome the difficulty inter-
posed in the way of his ambition, and to lodge his
portion of the 2,5001. which the High Sheriff is autho-
rised to demand for the erection of polling booths, and
other legal expenses connected with the election. A
discussion took place on the occasion of the nomina-
tion, the Counsel for the Conservative candidates con-
tending " that if Mr. REYNOLDS refused to deposit
the money at the moment, the returning officer was
bound to declare those who were happy enough to
posses 4 the requisite funds, and willing at once to
place them in his hands, duly elected," a doctrine,
by the way, which was recently acted on at
Derby, and by which the hopes of a Mr.
Nl‘Grtaxu were prematurely nipped in the bud.
Mr. REYNOLDS, however, was more fortunate in the
present instance, inasmuch as he was given until
twelve o'clock on Wednesday (yesterday) morning
to pay his proportion of the expense, amounting to
8331. 6s. 81, before which time it is to be hoped
that the enthusiastic advocates for a domestic legis-
lature may have subscribed the necessary sum, which,
if it had no other effect, would, as Mr. REYNOLDS beau-
titully expressed it, have the effect of "sending round
the circulating medium, and making Messrs. GROGAS
and GREGORY pay out the cash." The Rev. TRESHAM
DAMES GREGG indulged himself in the cheaper
luxury of proposing a congenial spirit, Mr. Ml:a-
-rena) FERRAND, the fugitive from Knaresboirough
(tor, happily, no deposit is required to place a candi-
date in nomination, nor is any liability thereby in-
curred unless a poll is demanded), and thus was
enabled to deliver himself of a two-hours' harangue,
denouncing Sir ROBERT PEEL, and almost every
one else, except the object of his unbounded
admiration. Poor GREGORY'S anti-Maynooth vote, his
constant and unceasing Toryism, nay, not even the
" quarter-acre" clause itself, were sufficient to vindi-
cate his character in the eyes of the rampant Boa
nerges. He was accordingly subjected to the ana-
themas of the Orange champion. GROGAN fared
somewhat better, the reverend gentleman being con-
tented with administering a slight castigation or his
past misdemeanours, and announcing his intention to
afford him a locus penitentice, and to try him once
more. We suppose that if the wanderer should,
during that probationary period thus generously be-
stowed, retrieve his character by proposing the re-
peal of the Emancipation Act, the re-enactment of
the penal code, and a few other similar measures, he
will be received with joy, as a repentant sinner
by the Jupiter tonana of the Orange party.
In this case, however, there was no hope of procuring
the funds demanded by the inexorable Sheriff, and
the end and object of the proposer being attained in
the delivery of his diatribe, it was declared that his
protege would not go to the poll. Surely such an
exhibition is too ridiculous to be tolerated in the
very metropolis. It exhibits in the strongest light
the depth to which the doctrines of repeal and ultra-
Orangeism have simultaneously fallen in the place

In the University the contest assumes a more
serious aspect, and there probably it will be carried
on with the utmost vigour and activity. No less
than six aspirants to the good graces of the electors
have come forward, five of whom are strong Conser-
vatives, and the sixth (Professor BIiCuLLAGH)

beral and enlightened politician, a man of tlrquhiirgehdea

European reputation, and who, in the words of his
eloquent proposer, " had done more to make them
acquainted with the

rious workings, and with the arcane of science, than

strange -to say, are not even " alumni" of

walls. They would conceive themselves (anajusinj,
dishonoured by so doing ; it would be a tacit admis-
sion that they possessed no child worthy of so high
an honour. The were suggestion would be scouted
with the moat unanimous indignation. We believe
that a graduate of Qx.ford or Cambridge would sooner
vote fur a person opposed to him iu every political
feeling and sentiment who had obtained high honours
during his collegiate career, than one who, agreeing
in every particular with his views, was yet a
stranger to the Alma Mater. It. remained,
however, fur T. C. D., as if anxious to merit the
ignominious appellation of " the Silent Sister" that
had been bestowed on her, to return two gentlemen
educated at the rival seats of learning as her repre-
sentazives to Parliament. The learned and eloquent
proposer of one of these gentlemen thought proper to
designate this as a futile objection. We must, how-
ever, be permitted to douot if it will be re-
garded as one of so very trivial a character by
the constituency. We are well aware of the
anxious desire that formerly existed to retrieve the
character of the Irish University by selecting from
amongst her many distinguished children two fit and
proper persons to give expression to her feelings and
defend her rights and privileges in the Imperial
Legislature.
Mr. J. NAPIER. Q.C., has been a scholar of
the house, and on every occasion during his
collegiate career afforded evidence of his great
and varied powers—powers which have since
raised him to his present distinguished posi-
tion as a profound lawyer. Mr. KYLE, too, the
son of a man who for many years presided
over the University, obtained honours at every
examination, and concluded his under-graduate
course by obtaining the highest distinction attain-
able by a student, the science gold medal. Dr.
GIFFARD, the editor of the Standard, is so well
known, that it is unnecessary to say anything on his
behalf, save that he also was a distinguished student
and graduate of Dublin College. The five gentlemen
are, we believe, nearly identical in political feeling;
in this respect there is little to choose between them.
There is nothing that can possibly be brought
against Professor APCULLAGEI, whose every act
from his earliest boyhuod points him out as a person
who would do honour to any constituency. We can-
not believe that claims such as his can be overlooked,
and we trust that he may be returned, and that the
University of Dublin may free herself from disgrace,
by returning with him one of the three gentlemen
who were educated within her walls as his colleague.
We dissent from the political views of each of those
gentlemen, but there could, at least, be no reproach
if she selected any one of them, in place of the gra-
duates of Oxford.

A letter from the Hague, published in the Inde-
pendence Beige, gives the following account of the
differences which are said to exist in the Royal Family
of Holland :

Y.,u are aware that the inhabitants of the royal re-
sidence have f)r a long time past been accustomed to
have the most improbable and the most scandalous re-
ports circulated among them and believed, the greater
part of which art. utterly devoid of foundation. We are
generally very prudent, and avoiri giving circulation to
such rumours. Nevertheless, the report, according to
which the Prince of Orange thinks of renouncing his
eventual rights to the throne, is given out under such
auspices, and surrounded by such ciicunistances, that I
think it my duty to communicate it to you, without, how-
ever, wishing to give it more authenticity than it really
deserves. For a long dine past people have been speaking
of the ,erious differences between Kin William 11. and
the Prince of Orange. On the other ham), the Prince of
Orange lives on the very worst terms with the Princess,
his wife. This difference, we are assured, arises from
a cause so delicate, and the consequences of it would
be so deplorable, that we abstain from making it known.
At all events, if the causes to which these auuoling dis-
sensions in the Royal Family are attribute I are true,
the resolution of the Prince of Orange would be the
immediate and forced consequence of it. In consequence
of this circumstance, joined to numerous others, the
Prince of Orange has declared his firm resolution to re.
trounce his rights to the succession to the throne.
‘• He is said to have communicated this resolution to
the Princess, who immediately wrote to her father, the
King of Wurtemberg, and explained to him the reasons
which had led to a resolution which would have the
effect of depriving her of a throne that had been pro-
mised to her, and which also alarms her as to the rights
of her son, the Hereditary Prince, who, some day or
other, should succeed to his father. It is in this way the
unexpected arrival of the King of Wurtemberg at the
Hague is explained. I shall make no comment for the
present, but I may as well mention that the King of
Wurtemberg, in place of taking up his residence either
at the King's palace or at that of his sun-fn-law, has
taken rooms in the Motel de ]'Europe."

In the sitting of the Swiss Diet on the 30th ult.,
the President communicated a letter addressed to
him on the previous day by the Vorort. In this
document the Vorort called the attention of the Diet
to two dispatches of great importance, which had
been addressed to it by the Cantons of Berne and
Tessino. The Berne dispatch stated that from the
reports sent to the Council of State by its officers, it
appeared that the Canton of Underwald was erecting
fortifications on that part of its territory which is
contiguous to that of Berne, and that meetings
of the citizens of the Valais and of Underwent
took place at the village of Meyringen, with the
object of arranging the military and other measures
to be taken under the present conjuncture of cir-
cumstances. The dispatch from Tessino announced
that ammunition coming from Lombardy had not
ceased to traverse Tessino for the Cantons of the
Sonderbund ; that this circumstance had caused
a great exasperation among the population of
Tessino, and that part of the ammunitions had been
temporarily stopped at Lugano by the people. The
perusal of these two dispatches caused great sensation
in the Diet. The Deputy of Zurich proposed that a
committee of seven should be immediately nominated
to examine into the matter, and to submit to the Diet
such measures as it might think advisable. The
Deputy of Lucerne opposed the motion, as he did not
see what it could lead to. The two cases, he added,
seemed to him very simple, but he would not say
more on the subject at that moment. The Deputies
of Uri, Schwyz, and Underwald thought it perfectly
natural that the Cantons threatened with aggression
should neglect nothing to resist it; and the Deputy
of the Canton of Fribuurg said that the matter was
not worth the trouble of being specially taken
into consideration. Several other Deputies spoke
in support of the motion of the Deputy of Zurich,
which, on a division, was adopted by twelve and
a half States, viz. :—Zurich, Soleure, Schaffhausen,
St. Gall, Argovia, Tessino, Geneva, Vaud, Thurgo-
via, Grisons, Outer-Appenzell, Bale-Campagne,
Glaris, and Berne. The Diet. then proceeded to the
nomination of the Committee of seven. Five Liberals
and two Radicals were chosen, and among them M.
OCHSENESIN. The States of the Sonderbund
strengthened by Neuchatel, abstained from voting ;
and the half-states of Bale (Ville and Campagne),
and of the two Appenzells, could not agree as to the
choice of their candidates. There were, therefore,
only twelve tickets deposited in the urn, but each of
the seven gentlemen was elected by ten or eleven
votes. The Deputy of Neuchatel desired that it
!tumid be recorded that his reason for not taking part
in the vote was because it was the consequence of the
resolutions against the Sonderbund, which he had re-
fused to support. The Diet then proceeded to deli-
berate on the subjects on the order of the day.

Accounts from Athens tothe 30th ult., state that not
a single Member of the Opposition has been returned
to the new Chambers. This fact speaks volumes as
to the manner in which COLETTI must have proceeded
to have procured this wondertial unanimity. It is
supposed that COLETTI has at last determined to make
the required apologies to the Turkish Government for
the insults offered to M. MIJSSURUS.
A letter from Athens, July 20, says that the Greek
Minister of Finances had placed 500,000 f. at the dis-
posal of the British Government, and was ready to
give a draft to that amount on M. EYNARD. Official
notice to that effect was given to Sir EDMUND LTO/78
on the 19th, by M. COLETTI, the Minister of Foreign
Affairs.

We read in the Diario di Roma of the 24th ult.—

" The movement operated by the Austrian troops to
reinforce the garri.on of Farrara has furnished an occa-
sion for spreading in the provinces, and in this capit.l,
a belief that they were preparing to spread t ,em4elves

being able to announce that this has no foundatitu, for
diplomatic declarations, which merit full c,nfidence, as-

The Madrid mail of the 29th had not arrived in
Paris, when the post left.

We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday.
The Count DE MONTALEMBERT, on Monday, in
the French Chamber of Peers, following the example
first set by Lord LYNDHURST in the British House of
Peers, gave a review of the session, which brought
up M. GUIZOT, who made a long but by no means
satisfactory speech in reply, and who was received
very coldly. The Constitutional thus describes the
scene :

"M. de Montalembert delivered to-day what he wittily
called the funeral oration of the session; he briefly de-
scribed its deceptions, miscarriages, inanity, deficits. find
scanials. Omitting to notice facts of pecuniary corrup-
tion, which are less frcqu nt in our time and in our
country than under the ancien regime and in other coun-
tries of Europe, M. de Montelainbert strongly attacked
electoral corruption, that is, the purchase of suffrages by
means of the distribution of putdic works and the nomi-
nation to salaried functions. That sort of corruption,
everybody knows in France, is the evil of the present
day, the primary cause of the depravity of public murals,
the encouragement to avaricious passions and the special
crime of the Cabinet of the 29th of October. This
was called by M. Guiz at the abuse of influences, and
M. de Montalembert summed it up in these th-ee points,
unfortunately incontestable.
Ist. Everybody in Frauce
is anxious to obtain a public situation ; 2d. The dis-
pensation of ail functions belongs to the Govern-
ment; and 3d. Every" office is now given with a view to
strengthen the Cabinet in the elections, either to recom-
pense services or to seduce wavering consciences. M.
de Montalembert concluded,
as might be supposed, that
the remedy to that evil, the means of restorieg the purity
of morals and rendering elections incorruptible, would
be to bestow on France the liberty enjoyed by Belgium.
M. Guizot replied by a loeg, coil, vague, and sophis-
tical speech, listened to by the Chamber with a chilling
silence, which, in that assembly, as remarked by M. de
Montalembert, is the ordinary condernnetion of orators
speaking on the wrong side (Attie question. Everybody
admitted that the session had been sterile. mi. Journal
des Debuts itself confesses it in rather energetic terms,
so that there is not at this moment in Paris a single
journal that does not upbraid the Government for its
inaction, indecision, went of resolution, and system. M.
lituizot, however, does not accept such a reproach. He
doematicaily demonstrated that the session should be
sterile, because every first session of a legislature must
be so. He next adduced another axiom of the same
stamp, namely, that the majority of the Chamber of
Deputies was alone competent w decide whether the
Government had employed corruption and recurred to
the abuse of influences in the general elections I Let
us fancy a majority, of which a great number of
members owed their election to that abuse, and were
consequently interested in denying its existence ; in
vain would all the electors have a personal know
ledge of facts of corruption ; in vain would public con-
science accuse the administration ; in vain should moral

murmurs to the Minister, who contested its compen ncy

it had likewise a right to attend to the maintenance of
political morality in the country. The assembly
was
not

observed that it was improper to compare the situation of
the two men, and that the Chamber could not have had
any suspicion as far as M. Cublares was concerned, whilst
the Ministry had ample reason to suspect M. Teste. M.
Guizot compared himself to Washington in concluding
hie speech, and demanded time to improve the public
morals. If we were'td-judge by the progress which the
Cabinet has imparted to political and private morality in
France durieg the last seven years we may safely con-
fide in it to promote the reign of virtue, provided we
grant it a few years longer to exist."
The National has the following on the interview
which took place between its responsible editor, and
the Juge d' lnstructton, on the subject of the scandal
which it brought to light by referring to the regis-
tered deed of the corrupt bargain for securing the
passing of the Paris and Meaux Railway Bill.
"One of the responsible editors of the National ap-
peared yesterday before M. Legonidec, Juge Instrue-
lion, charged to examine into the scandalous bargain of
which we published the enregistered deed. Our editor
had only to repeat the precise indications of our article.
We published an official extract from the archives of the
registration ; we gave the numb,- r of the volume, of the
page, and of the divisions of the inscription. It wet
extremely easy for the Judge to cause the register to be
brought before him, in order to verify the textual and
perfect exactitude of our copy. As CO iitherinformation,
it is the duty of justice to seek for it, and as well-known
proper names are cited, the task does not appear to us to
be difficult. But since M. Delangle has done hie duty
on this occasion, why does he not prosecute on the
denunciation of an act perfectly analogous to this,
and which has the merit of nut being so far back ?
We refer to the offer made of a bill in favour of the
post-horse-mesters, in return for a sum of 1,200,000 f.
We seek in vain the motives of the indulgence of M.
Delangle. Where is the difference between' the
two Lets denounced ? Th re is only one, and that is
that in one case the bargain is enregistered, whilst in
the other it is not. Does that suffice for the parquet to
dispense with entering into an examination ? It is ex-
actly as if prosecutions were confined to cases in which
offendiers are caught in the act. Remark, however, the
difference of the proceedings : we published a deed in
which an offer is made to present a Bill in return for
450.000 f., and at th instant we are called on. A Deputy
denounces from the tribune, and re eats in a journal,
that M. Grainer de Ceseagnac offered exactly the same
bargain to the post- to.rse masters in return for
1,200,000 f.; but this Deputy is not called on. Let it
not be hoped that the public will he deceived. There is
an air of employing a fine zeal respecting an 'Am of a
Bill which dates from 1841 ; but this zeal will appear
more suspicious so long as an analogous act, and of a
much more recent date, shall not be prosecuted. Th,
public does not deceive itself byhh in a deceitful appearance.

Ministers, and pf leading minion% He ill de-

n minced, publicly denounced, and if he be not pursued
it is because his revelations are dreaded. This motive
alone explains the conduct of M. Delangle ; but this
explanation accuses himself, and causes the responsi
Witty of an act qualifi, d and punished by the Penal
Code to ascend higher than he. Tho parquet, which
to-day retuses to execute the law, exposes itsOf to the
deniand being one 'lay ma& for a severe accuuut of this
grave failure in its first duties!'
In the same journal we find another eorrupt bar-
gain denounced in tha following terms :....
" Revelations succeed each other with alarming ta-
, pidity. We hare often raised our voice against the
immorality of public companies and against the cor-
ruptions of the Government, but, in truth, we did
not believe that the evil had taken such deep root.
It is with great difficulty that the .Ministers can be
induced to make a judicial inquiry, and when the
law officers do interfere, discoveries of an incredible
nature are made. It is easy to conceive that MM.
DUCILATEL and HEBERT are not anxious to inves-
tigate the case of the 100,000 francs paid by the
director of the third lyric theatre, or the sale of a
parliamentary Bill in favour of the postmasters. The
result of the trial of MM. TESTE, CI;BIERES, and
PELLAPRA—the incidents of the dispute between the
shareholders of the Munzoua mining company—the
publication of the statutes of the Algerian Society—
ought more than ever to cause their Excellencies to
persist in covering those seanchls with a prudent
silence. The Coarrier de la Moselle, in its number
of the 31st of July last, gives a new example of the
danger of such investigations. There is another sus-
picious convention about to be discovered, in which
companies, it may be said, constitute a budget of
corruptkn, and which appears to have become a
form in the deed of co-partnership of joint-stock com-
panies. We find the following in the Courrier de la
Moselle :

" We have received the following letter from a per-
son holdine an elevated position at Metz, and who
ought to be well intormed, which signalises a striking
analogy between the-itial vitiating to the salt mines ut
Gouhenans and certain details but little known rt-lative
to another salt mice lately brought betoce the Royal
Court of Metz .

" July 30, 1847.
" t The last number of your journal, when publishing
the pleadings in a trial relative to a concession of mines
in Algeria, signalised with reason for the intoimation
of the country those suspicious clauses in the statutes of
the deed of partnership which place considerable sums
of money at the dispo,al of V- e directors without oblig-
ing them to account !or their employment. One is na-
turally induced to suppose that, as in the affair of Cu-
bia es and his co accused, those sums constitute the bud-
get of corruption. It is to be remarked, moreover, that
whatever be the period of the constitution of these com-
panies, whoever be the Minister under whose juri,dic-
tion they full, we see almost always the same suspicious
clauses inserted in their statutes. We found such
clauses in the deeds constituting the company for
working the salt mines or Gouhenans and the mines of
Algeria, and we now find them in the company con-
stituted for working the salt mines of Salabronn. In
the Royal Court of Metz M. Met lie , the King's Advo-
cate, remarked the analogy which existed between the,
latter comps.), anti thaw of tiouhenans. M. Dorr hs:v-
ing been pressed by the court to account for the exr2en
diture of a large sum of which the application was eon.
cealed found himself wider the necessity of producing
letters from a person named of Paris, tarrnedy a
receiver general, which admitted the receipt of that sum
of money. Those letters were impounded at the demand
of the Attornev•General. We shall, perhaps, be in-
formed of the object at a later period. As those. tacts are
but little known, you. Sir, will no doubt consider it ut
general utility to communicate them to the Parisian
public through ttie press."

FRENCH PLAYS.
Si. JAM tSt.s THtiiritE.
Racine's tragedy of ifillirbute, which has never
been played in this cowl' ry, and which has almost
disappeared from the French stage, was produced
here last eveni,ig, for the benefit of Mademoiselle
Rachel, who appeared in the character of Monime,
the young betrothed of the mighty Mithridate,__but T
the be:oved and the lover of his son Xiphares. his
character has none of those outbursts of intense
passion in which Rachel is so great. It 13 acharacter
of grief and suffering, and in the representation of the
intense yet d.gnified sorrow which is the charac-
teristic of the part Mademoiselle Rachel was pecu-
liarly happy. After the play her sister, Mademoiselle
Dinah Felix, a little girl of twelve years of age, re-
cited two of La Fontaine's fables in the most
naive and engaging manner imaginable, and appeared
afterwards in a vaudeville. Mademoiselle Rachel was
called for at the fall of the curtain, and was loaded
with bouquets. To-morrow evening she appears in
Virginie, and this brings to a close the very success-
ful season of 1847. It is impossible to permit the
season to close without congratulating the public on
the fact that the French plays have now regularly
taken their station as part and parcel of the amuse-
ments of this metropolis. Fur this, be it never for-
gotten, we are indebted to the enterprize, the good
taste, the generous liberality, and the sound judg-
ment of Mr. Mitchell, who, by the exercise of these
qualities, has secured the services of all the great
French artistes in turn, and has thus achieved a
triumph and a lasting success, where his predecessors
have failed.

DISGRACEFUL PROCEEDINGS IN TAUNTON.
Violent rioting after tile election on Friday destroyed
the quiet of this generally respectable town. The Tory
or Blue party, as they delight to be called, being un-
able by numbers to carry their man, determined, if p,.6-
bible, by brute tome to prevent the Greens tom carry tug
theirs. Accordingly a mob of Litt) or sixty ruffians,
well provided with gin, beer, and hl cl;:eons, tell on the
procession, took away ail the banners and destroyed
them, a ad made an attack on the car which contained
Sir T. E. Colebrouke who was obliged to be carried Into
a house near tor protection. Mr. Lsoouchere escaped
without any attack. the virluence of the mob being
directed to the second man. The higher prey escaping,
they descended to lower, and broke sixty squares at the
London Hotel, and altogether acted so riotously that the
magistrates were sent for to read the Riot Act, which,
bow:.ver, was not resorted to. This was Frioay
Saturday was comparatively quiet. The Sunday was
to be the climax of absurb partizanship. The Rev.
;)r. Cottle was solicited by the late and present
members for his vote ; there were no signs or oppo-
sition ; he voted according to his word, for he is not •
political man—such daring audacity was not to be en
dured, and an unusual number attende the church on
Sunday, men who baldly ever we t before, others who
regularly attended other places of worship. The curate

desecrated the " teture of the Most High" by walking

drowned by the disturbance, and all this because Dr.
Cottle voted for the Liberal candidates. He kelingly
alluded to it, as he commenced his sermon, as being sup-
ported by a friend above who could sustain him under
such a lamentable exhibition of petty malice as the con-
gregation had just witnessed. On Sunday evening a Si-
milar scene occurred with the "smaller fry," a few men
ant maid-sers ants emulating the example of their bet-
ters, but it was not of sufficient importance to hinder
the doe or preaching a must eloquent and impressive
sermon.

AN ENOLtsll Row VERSUS THE PADDIES.--Early
on M .nday morning last, about six o'clock, a row and a
fight took place between the English end Irish labourers
on the Huddersfield and Manchester branch line of rail-
way, near Cooperbrid,ge, in which the latter sustained si4eui defeat. At the hour above specified a great num-
ber of English labourers assembled together on the line
and proceeded along it with the avowed intention of
driving the Irish" from off the works, but finding the
"gems of the say" rather obstinate, they removed the
handles of their pickaxes, and converted them into blud-
geons (and very formidable ones they are); a battle en-
sued, and after some time, with plenty of hard knocks,
the Paddies retreated; some few (a score or so) main
tamed a doeged resolution to remain, but were over-
pottered by numbers, and actually thrown over the eta-
baukinetit, reth,r consid,ranle height. The Engli+h
having been informed that a body of Parlandershad de-
ployed to De'ghton, arid ensconced themselvesin hopes
of a refuge, the visitors proceeded thither with their
faces blackened, arid drove the Irish out of the village by
force of their b!trigeons. During Monday several of the
iatjur d parties applied lor summonses against their per-
secutors. No satisfactory reason has been assigned, that
e can yet learn, tor this outrage, unless trots* s we
rumours as to the strange und unexpected verdict of the
jury on the late trials ler the Mirtieht murders at bolt

In the Liverpool market the sales of cotton yesterday
were only 4,000 bales, and there was mere of the staple
offering. There were 3,000 bales of American sold at
6d. to 70. per lb.. and 700 Surat at 4id. to sd. per lb.
Railway shares were very dull ; there was a quantity of
stock offering, and but little business was &tie.
The sal* of Railway Shares, by Messrs. Lumond and
Co., was held yesterday at the Hall of Commerce. Prices
were generally rather lower, and the demand Was

We have late accounts from the West India Islands
by the steamer Avon. In respect to the weather it was
not so favourable as could be desired, rain being much
needed, but there had been partial showers before the
packet left. In Jamaica money was very scarce, and
there was a great want of shipping to bring away the
produce. The scarcity of food in Barbadoes, owing to
the dry weather and the absence of imports from the
United States, was muen felt,. Trinidad was flourishing.
and from Batba.does there is nothing particularly new.
The disorganised state of aff&irs in Mextco, and the
vigorous efforts making by the republic to oppose the
Americans, seem to promise yet a lengthened conflict,
unless the latter push forward in the face of every ob-
stacle, the sickness prevailing among the troops being
the worst feature. The best that can be hoped for,
however, ultimately, is that the Mexicans, by their
continued efforts, will perhap's be enabled to obtain
more favourable terms of peF:.ce. The exhausting nature
of the conflict will proi•.ably be felt both by the Ameri-
cans atsclehe Mrxictr.is long after the contest is closed,

The accounts from the manufacturing and trading
districts notice; the increasing pressure for money which
is still felt iri the Metropolis.
The funds have been drooping again to .day, under the
influen ea of sales both for money and time, and the de-
cline upon yesterday is about another i per cent. The
somewtiat 'avourable manner in which the 4th of the
mono, has pone off, although the firm of Perrin and Co.,
of Lancashire, has suspended, would perhaps have given
a better tone to the market, were it not that money is in
demand. Consols have been 871 to 871 for present
transfer, and 871 to 881 for account. The New
Three-and-a Quarter per Cents. have been 891 to 90,
and the Three per Cents. 881 to i. Bank Stock is firm
at 107 to 1071. Exchequer Bills have been as low as
Bs. to 3s. premium.
There is almost a suspension of business in the Foreign
market. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 21, and the
Three per Cents. 301. Dutch Two-and-a Half per
Cents. have been 561.
Shares are rather lower, where sales are pressed.
