cannot shut out from view the fact that this miser-
able movement has ended in a signal triumph for
the TorypartY. 'i- This, .hoTever, is the natural re-
sult of abandoning principle for selfish purposes. In
th it unworthy haste: to re time power, the arisio-
cinticdeaders were ready to march their supporters
tluough Coventry. But their usual supporters,
all honour to them,. would not march for them ;
and though by this spit ited retitsa the Liberal party
has been saved final execration, the unprincipled
atttmpt• to make "confiscation" the rallying cry
of L beralistn. has giVen a •triumph to the Tory
party, and not only renewed their lease of office,
but inspired them with a confidence which will
embolden them to appeal to a.wider public hereafter,
and thus defer, no wan can ttll'how long., the for-
maion of a really .popidar administration which
will reeog,uin-the_rights_of the prople, and adopt
measures to secure them theirliberti,:s and their

.NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, Sap rAty Night.
a s
The withdrawal of Mr. CardwinOlion of cen-
sure on the Ministry in the House of Commons
last night, lame and impotent as it is, has Leen re-
ceived with a toltrable amount of satisfaction, as
t' e I est for all partit sat the present moment. The
whole affair has be n considered by the men of
the noith as a mere faction fight, and as not re-
.dounding to the credit of the House of Commons
As ade iberative assembly. It his not added to
the popularity of Lord Paltterston and his party
down here ; and if a dissolution had followed a
defeat of the Ministry it is every way probable
that, disgusted as the Liberals of the north are with
Lord Palmereton's recent stitservietcy to. France,
and hie contemptuous abandonment of the iinfor-
tunate engineers Watt- and Park to the ,ender
me cies of ti,e King of Naples, on.e or wo at
least of our north-Country.b:)rough members who
have supported him would have lost their seats.
There is every prospect down here that mere
Whigs will go the wall at the next election, and
that the cause of advanced liberalism will be sup-
ported fly better men. It nay be safely stated that
the only circumstance that has left any profound
im-
pre•sit,n on the public mind during the Lreat debase
is the rising power of the advanced liberal cause. A
letter from one of the Liberal members, received in
a neighboming town this morning, states that the
withdrawal of Mr. Cardwell's motion, showing that
Lad Palmerston was abandoned by an influential
section tf the literal patty at the last moment, is
cou,idered oven more damaging to the prospects of
the ex-Premier than if he had sustained a defeat.

NOTTINGHAM, Saturday.
The intelligence of the withdrawal of Mr. Card-
well's motion was received by nearly all shades of
political parties in this town with unmixed satitifac-
ti.on. Tae course taken by the debate during the
we.lk was watched with great interest and anxiety,
and the hollow treachery of the Pahnerstoniati fac-
tion completely seen through. As the debate pro-
ceeded there was less fear for the result 9f a divi-
sion ; and the damaging speech of Mr. Bright gave
full assurance that the spirit of cabalism• would be
ann;hil Lted. The unprincipled opposition to the
Government is deprecated by people here whose
political cr, ed is the reverse of Thirbyism ; and it is
r.otne time since a victory, poising out of a discom-
fiture so complete and decisive, has yielded so entire
a satisfaction as that which has just been achieved.

SOUTHAMPTON, Saturday.
The news of the withdrawal of Mr. OardweTs
motion was received here this morning with evident
satisfaction by many of the chiefs of the Liberal
party. A large number of Southampton Liberals
disapproved of Lord Canning's proclamation, and
approved of the principles enunciated in Lord
Ellenhorough's despatch, and they therefore were
indis;_osed to see the present Government turned
out by means of .11i, gardwell'l
,kescilution. The

On Saturday afternoon, shortly before 61133
o'clock, cousiderablo excitement was created among
the inhabitants of Bethnal-green, in consequence of
a most de• ermined attempt at murder, and the sui-
cide of Mr. Alfred Pim, aged 38 years, rope maker,
&c., of 51, Church-street, Bethnal-green, under the
following shocking circumstances :

business by the kind interference of uncle, but
for some time past he had lived on very unhappy

t erws with his wife. A short time since be borrowed

the shop and met deceased, who walked to the front
door, where he held out the open razor, and ex-
claimed to a man, " Will you come and cut my
throat ?" The man replied, " No, do it yourself."
The nsxt moment he walked to the front of the
hr'use of Mr. Pottier, dealer in garden implements,
lesiding in the adjoining premises, where he in-
flicted afrightful gash acrosshis throat. The wound
was of a most frightful character, and divided the
whole of the principal arteries of the neck. A police-
constable of the II division, whohad been attracted
to the-spot, caught the deceased as he was about to
fdi upon the pd.vemcitt. The deceased never spoke
afterwards, and became totally insensible, while
the blood flowed copiously from the wound. The
constable called for a cloth to atop the ba3morrhage,
And assistance being procured deceased was placed
on a shutter, and conveyed to the London
