BUCKS ELECTION—(This Day.

RE-ELECTION OF THE NEW CHANCELLOR OF
THE EXCHEQUER.

The election for the county of Bucks, necessitated by
the appointment of the Right Hon. B. Disraeli to the Chan-
cellorship of the Exchequer, took place this morning at
the County Hall, Aylesbury—Mr. Henry Arthur Hoare,
High Sheriff, presiding.

Mr. T. T. DRAKE proposed, and Mr. P. DAUNCEY se-
conded, the re-election of Mr. Disraeli, and no other can-
didate being nominated, the returning officer declared him
to be duly returned.

Mr. DISRAELI, in returning thanks, briefly narrated the
circumstances which had led to the necessity for his re-
election, expressing himself confident that the career
of the new Government would not be stopped by any fac-
tious proceedings, but by the merit of the measures they
would introduce for the benefit of the country would gain
its support. Adverting to the European war, he declared
his firm opinion that there was no necessity for the inter-
ference of England in that con test, and urged that the opinion
that that doctrine was one indicative of a decline of power
and influence on the part of England was utterly erroneous.
He looked upon the abstention of England from unneces-
sary interference in the affairs of Europe to be an evidence
rather of its increasing strength, because the truth was
England had outgrown the European continent ; the posi-
tion of England was no longer that of an European Power
merely, for she is the metropolis of a great maritime empire
extending to the boundaries of the farthest oeean•

EXTENSION OF THE FACTORY ACT.
In reply to the Earl of SHA.FTESBURY,
The Earl of DERBY said a bill on this subject had been
prepared, but was not so advanced as to be brought for-
ward during the present session.
In answer to the EarIBREECH LOADERS.
DE GREY,
Lord LONGFORD said that the late Government bad

approved the principle of the conversion of the exist-
ing arms, the cost of which, though it might now be
probably reduced, was £1 each. 600,000 were ready for
conversion, and 40,000 has been given by the late Govern-
ment for such conversion, which number had been in-
creased by the present to 150,000, which would be ready
for use by March next, as a portion of the contracts had
been taken up, and others were advertised for.
The Duke of CAMBRIDGE said he could endorse
what fell from both sides of the house on this subject.
The question to be considered was, what was to be
the most efficient arms with which the troops could be
the soonest supplied, and he was of opinion that, under the
circumstances, the conversion of the existing arms was
the best move that could be devised.
