THE RE-ELECTIONS.

SOUTH SHROPSHIRE.
VICE-CHAMBERLAIN OF THE HOUSEHOLD.
The vacancy occasioned in the representation of
the southern division of Shropshire by the accept-
ance of the office of Vice-Chamberlain of her
(
Majesty's Household by Viscount Newport was
supplied yesterday by the re-election of his Lord-
ship, without opposition.
The election took pLlee at Church Stretton, Mr.
Edmund Wright, the High Sheriff of Shropshire,
presiding. Shortly after 11 o'clock, Viscount
Newport, accompanied by a number of friends,
arrived at the hustings, which were erected under
the Market- h all.
The usual formal preliminaries having been gone
through,
Sir BALDWIN LEIGHTON proposed the re-election
of Lord Newport, who had never done anything to
forfeit the confidence the electors had previously
reposed in him. Referring to the cause which led
to the downfall of the late Government, he said it
was desirab!e it should be perfectly understood that
this country would not submit to be bullied by any
foreign Power, and he thought that Parliament had
acted properly in resulting the insolent language
which had b-en used with respect to England by
some of the officers of the French army. With
regard to the right of asylum, he would not have
it trenched upon for any consideration, and cer-
tainly of all men living Louis Napoleon had the
least reason to find fault with it.
Mr. M. G. BENSON, in seconding the nomination,
expressed similar sentiments.

iThere being no other candidate, Lord Newport
was declared duly elected.
His LORDSHIP, in thanking the electors, said
that if he bad thought his accepting office was in-
compatible. with his duty to his constituents he
would not have become a member of the present
Government, as ho would rather be the representa-
tive of the southern division of Shropshire than the
nominee of the Crown. But he did not think there
was any incompatibility in the two positions, and
he thought, moreover, that his acceptance of a
subordinate office under Lord Derby, whose
opinions he had always himself professed. was an
earnest of his sincere desire to see those principles
carried out. He hoped and believed that the
people of this country were anxious to give a fair
trial to the new Ministry, and he was satisfied that
their conduct of public affairs would conduce to
the general welfare of the community at large.
After eulogising Lord Derby and several of the
principal members of the Cabinet, and expressing
sentiments on the Conspiracy Bill and Government
of India in harmony with those enunciated by the
present Prime Minister, his Lordship concluded by
thanking the electors for having the sixth time re-
newed their trint and confidence in him.
1 The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks
to the High Sheriff, proposed by Lord Newport,
seconded by the Hon. R. W. Clive, M.P., carried,
and duly acknowledged.

CONFERENCE OF ITALIAN DELEGATES

The assembly of the Conference took place yesterday
at three o'clock, and owing to the absence of the Presi-
dent, Signor Borromeo, through indisposition, his place
was occupied by Signor Pallavicini.
The CHAIRMAN said he regretted much the absence
of their eloquent and patriotic president, who invariably
by his appearance lent an earnest tone and dignity to any
meeting he might honour with his presence. He re-
gretted his absence ; for he understood a proposition of
some importance would be submitted to their considera-
tion, and it would have been as well for him to have
been present in case any discussion had arisen with
respect to it. He trusted, however, no opposition would
be offered by the honourable delegates arourd him to the
resolution about to be laid before them.
Signor PORRO rose with great satiifaction to submit
to them the resolution the chairman had alluded to, and
he considerediwith him it was of the highest importance
that the vote given on the subject by the Con-
ference should be an unanimous one. They might
recall to their mind that on the first day the Con-
ference met, their president, in a speech full of profound
eloquence and learning, dwelt in powerful terms on the
recent attempt made on the life of the Emperor, and
urged upon them the importance of laying aside all other
business till they bad fixed on record their expression of
utter detestation of such an act. That sentiment of their
president was re-echoed, he was heartily glad to say, in
the mind of every delegate present ; and already Eng-
land had commenced to learn that the oause of Italy's
freedom did not require the arms of assassins to secure
for it friends in the mind of an ever-discerning public.
But in thus giving expression to their own sentiments,
he thought it also of the highest moment, to the inte-
rest of every Italian refugee, to denounce in the strongest
terms the very idea of their giving countenance to an
act every honourable mind must lament, as not only
injurious to their cause, to the interests of
Italy, as it was also casting a slur of infamy on the
fair name of every exile. He felt bound to say,
before he had landed on the shores of hospitable
England he had expected his countrymen who were re-
fugees here would have already made some movement to
express their innocence in the complicity of such an act,
and to have boldly proclaimed they required neither
stiletto, nor pistol, nor infernal machines to secure the
ultimate success of their country's liberty, founded as it
was on justice, humanity, and every principle of right.
But what was his surprise to find that even Row, at the
last hour, no effort was made by the refugees to denounce
the attempted assassination of the Emperor. He did not
stand there as the apologist of the Emperor, for far from
being his friend or advocate, be was ready to denounce,
and so would every true Italian patriot, the invasion of
Roman liberty ; but he would wish it to be well and
thoroughly understood, assassins were as much despised
by the people of Italy, and their supporters also, as they
were hated in the generous land which had given them
shelter in the hour of distress. He should move the fol.
means of the public press and
togive expression to their
lowing resolution :—" That the Italian refugees resident
in the United Kingdom be at once called upon by the
utter
more of their countrymen on

sentiments,tu Italiantbe ml
icpt mameetings,made

Leagueetthhoeerir
abhorrence of the recent

Signor CREvELLI supported the resolution, and said if
it had been his fate to have been an exile, not a dal' would he allow to pass by without nttoring his indignant
protest of even being thought capable of giving support
or countenance to such an act of secret assassination.
Signor FARINI objected to the form in which the reso-
lution was embodied, but otherwise concurred in the
sentiments given utterance to by the two previous
speakers.

Several other speecheswere delivered, condemning
the silence of their countrymen in exile, and otherwise
objecting to the form of the resolution. The Conference
adjourne without coming to any decision, to allow the
question to be fully debated.
