union :,;they who uphold the ConseTative policy ought to be
fully imbued with this truth. All the efforts of their adver-
saries will tend to divide them ; ill their acts ought to aim
at preserving in their ranks a unity which will as-
sure their success. When a great public interest
commands, it is necessary to kzow how to obey, and to
sacrifice to one's convictions and one's country's suscepti-
bilities even when they are well-founded, and pretensions
which may be considered legitimate. One of your duties is
to remind- all men supporting the Conservative policy, and
sincerely desiring to witnesss its triumph, of these rules of
honour and good sense. This pol.cy is at present less than
ever difficult to defend ; it has been tried, and does not fear
to be appreciated by its results. Peace, compromised a few
years ago, has been maintained wi:h honour; order has been
preserved, without any recurrence to rigorous measures, and
without any person being able tc accuse the Government of
using too largely the powers which the laws place between
its hands. When the Electoral Colleges met in 1842, grave
and difficult questions occupied the public mind; these have
all been happily settled. At what period has there been
ever seen in our country so brilliant a prosperity and so pro-
found a security ? The greatest enterprises of public utility
can be accomplished without compromising the gocd order
of the finances. What has hithertoo never been seen, we
have carried on the same time military works, on which
the safety of the country depends, and civil works, which
augment alike its riches and its power. The continual de-
velopment of labour and intelligence constitutes at present
the proper progress of societies. In this great movement,
which will reflect honour on our age, the Government acquits
its debt, both by the execution of the publie works, which
favour individual labour amongst all classes of the population,
and by the liberal impulse given to public instruction
in all its forms. This progress is at the same time the
most certain and most fruitful. The policy which has
obtained the support of the last Chamber can present itself
before the country with head erect. But if even the most
fastidious minds are obliged to admit the benefits which
France enjoys in the midst of order and peace, every one
ought to learn at the same time to appreciate the conditions
by which these benefits may be preserved and increased.
A slight deviation from the policy to which these results are
due may trouble a state of things now serene, and compromise
the certain prospects of the future. The Government feels con-
vinced that it has done its duty; it is now for the citizens to
do theirs—they have to choose between lines of policy already
tried, and on the choice which they make will depend the
destiny of their country. You belong to those whose mission
it is to remind them incessantly of the responsiblity under
which they labour, and of the importance of the rights with
which the law has invested them. I am firmly convinced
that you will know how to acquit yourselves of this duty
with honour. Conservative opinion must owe its victory to
the goodness of its cause, loyally and courageously sustained ;
it would neither suit its interests, nor your dignity, nor ours,
to have it triumph by other means."

The Pritchard indemnity is the cheval de bataille
of the Opposition. The National publishes the names
of all who voted in favour of it. The Univers, the
organ of the parti-pretre. publishes a long ad-
dress to the electors in favour of what it
calls religious liberty, which, being interpreted,
means the absolute power of the priests over the
laity. The meaning of this electoral address is
" Vote as your priest tells you."
The Electoral Committee of the Extreme Gauche
is composed of Messrs. DUPONT DE L'EURE (chair-
man), ARAGO, General THIARD, LEGENDRE, MARIE,
and CARNOT, and GARNIER PAGES (secretaries).
The llioniteur contains an ordonnance elevating
General JACQUEMINOT to the peerage. It was again
rumoured that Marshal SOULT had tendered his re-
signation, and that M. GuizoT would be appointed
President of the Council of Ministers.
According to the Presse—

" The Minister of War had written to the Maritime Prefect
of Brest to know how long it would require to fit out the
frigate Psyche for a distant expedition. Captain Lavand,
commander of that vessel, which is to relieve the Uranie,
had been called to Paris to receive his instructions. It was
believed that he would replace Captain Bruat in the Govern-
ment of the French possessions in Oceania."

" In announcing the departure for Tunis of the
squadron commanded by the Prince DE JOIN vuLt,"
says the Constitutionnel, "we mentioned that this de-
parture was connected with the attempt which it was
supposed would be made to instal at Tunis the
Austrian Consul, who claims to be received in virtue
of an order from the Porte, whereas the BET pretends
that it is he alone who can accord the exequatar.
What would indicate that political matters have some
connexion with the sending out of our naval forces
there is, that M. DE LAGAU, our Charge d'Affaires,
has received orders to return forthwith to his post.
He arrived at Toulon on the 3d, and embarked next
day."

The Moniteur publishes the law relative to the
railroad between Paris and Cherbourg, passing
through Evreux and Caen, with a branch to Rouen,
which the Minister of Public Works was authorised
by the Chamber to concede directly to the company
represented by Count DE BRETEUIL, the Duke de
PLArzaistcE, M. EDWARD BLOUNT, &c. The same
law authorises the direct concession of the Versailles
and Rennes Railway to Messrs. EMILE PEREIRE,
D'EicuTHAL, and TARBE DES SABLONS, allowing six
months from the date of the promulgation of the law
for the dissolution of the two Versailles Companies,
or the final settlement of their respective claims.

SECON LIARIES'.--(T HIS DAY.)
(Before ➢lr. Secondary Ja3tEs.)
MARLOW V. MASON.

This was an action to recover damages for an excessive
distress, and also for an illegal sale.
The defendant did not plead or appear to speak in miti-
gation.
Mr. ADDISiON appeared for the plaintiff, and stated the
case. The plaintiff is a journeyman plumber in Joiner-
street, Lambeth, and the defendant was his landlord. On
the sth of May a distraint was made for sewers' rate, which
defendant was bound to pay. A man was put in possession,
but the next day, during the absence of the plaintiff, de-
fendant went with three Men and forcibly took away not
only the plaintiff's goods but also those of all the lodgers, in
fact, stripped the house entirely for 41. 18s. rent, which he
had not demanded. No appraisement was made, but the
goods were sold immediately, and defendant kept the whole
of the money. Plaintiff's goods were valued at 101.
The SECONDARY said that the defendant had admitted all
that had been alleged against him, and besides the value of
the goods, plaintiff was entitled to such damages as the jury
might think proper.
The jury asked if they gave the whole value of the goods,
whether the defendant could sue for the rent?

The SECONDARY said probably he could..
The jury gave a verdict for 51. 25.. the value of the goods
beyonc the rent due, and 71. 10s. for damage.

IMPROVEMENTS IN AGRICULTURE.—There is a fine field
of wheat on the farm of Mr. Alfred Hearn, at Standen,
Cowes, Isle of Wight, which was planted in double rows ten
inches apart, with thirty inch spaces between, which admits
the plough to pass freely and destroy all the weeds. The
wheat is seven feet high and the ears seven inches in length ;
it is four clustered Talavera wheat, and contains from 48
to 72 grains of corn in each ear ; we have some sent to our
office as specimens, though there are some selected ears that
even measure eight inches we are told, and the straw as
stout as the largest part of the stem of a tobacco pipe. It is
Mr. llearn's intention to plant the field with wheat again
next year in the spaces between the rows ; he uses liquid
manure from the farm-yard tanks ; the land is poor in
quality, with a chalk bottom.
NOVEL ImeowraTiou —Yesterday morning :the Ve-
nezuela steam-ship arrived at the St. Katharine's Dock
steam-packet wharf, from llavre, with twenty-two horses
on board, which have been working for some time on the
French railways, and will in future be employed on the
Trent Valley Railway, now forming. It appears that the
animals having been accustomed to the particular work
d by the police that a
mercantile
re-
quired on railways, will be more serviceable than horses that
have not been so engaged.

Exchange, containing 4151. ; and that a gentleman residing

FEARFUL COLLISION IN BOND STREET.--yesterday
afternoon, between the hours of one and two o'clock, an
accident occurred of a most fearful character, to Geo. Henry
Patterson, Esq., of Bryanston-square. Mr. Patterson was
proceeding along New Bond-street, in one of Hanson's
patent cabriolets, when the rain began to descend in torrents,
and the driver had orders to increase
his speed • On passing
Brook-street there came another vehicle of a similar descrip-
tion, both going at a pretty smart pace ; and before they
could get out of each other's way they came in direct colli-
sion. At this time Mr. Patterson quickly endeavoured to
escape, and in getting out, the horse suddenly backed, and
he was thrown down, and the wheel, passed on to his left
leg. lie was removed into a surgeon s, where he received all
the attention the nature of his injuries demanded.
,Both cabs, Th
as well as the horses, are considerably damaged. e drivers
escaped with a few bruises only
a Parliamentary return, it appears that the
commission to inquire into the potato disease cost 19,0001.
THE CROPS IN THE ENVIRONS OF LONDON.--The
harvest in many parts round London has commenced vigor-
ously. In the neighbourhood of Ilford, Edmonton, Waltham,
Broxborne, Hertford, Barnet, gm, many fields of wheat and
barley have been cut, and it only requires a little fine weather
to have the produce securely housed. The recent rains ap-
pear to have well filled the ears, and although here and
there crops look rather weak, yet the general report speaks
most favourably of their condition.
DEATH OF SIR AUBREY DE yERE, BA.RT.—On
Sunday evening, at four o'clock, at his residence, Curragh
Chase, county Limerick this gentleman breathed his last.
Sir Aubrey de Vere was only son of the late Sir Vere Hunt,
who sat in the Irish Parliament, nephew of the late Earl of
Limerick, and brother-in-law of Lord Monteagle.. His eldest
son is Vere de Vere, Esq., late high sheriff of the county, and
is now Sir Vere de Vere.
LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY EVENING.--The Great
Western has not yet arrived, but is expected every moment.
