opinion was that the relation subsisting between
man and God, and all matters referring to the exer-
cise of his religious duties, were matters strictly
between man and his Creator alone. No Govern-
ment, therefore, had a right to interfere in the
exercise of these duties. Governments were not
constituted for any such purpose. They were
organised to manage the secular affairs of the
country—to administer justice between man and
man, and to protect men from external in-
jury. But when Government interfered with
matters of religion they trespassed on that
which was out of their sphere. They might
just as well take upon themselves to legislate about
the tides, or anything that is completely under the
exclusive control of God alone, as to pretend to
legislate with a view to the advancement of reli-
gion. Mr. Miall strongly condemened the views
of those who were anxious that the opponents of
church-rates should provide a substitute for them,
and expressed his conviction that the best substi-
tute that could be offered for this unjust impost
would be found in the general sympathies of Church-
men themselves. Churchmen should feel that the
Establishment was dependent upon their individual
support, and not upon Government aid ; and they
would soon show that they possessed the power,
not only to preserve the Church in its present effi-
ciency, but to place it in a position of far greater
strength and usefulness. After making one or two
remarks on the Jewish disabilities, which, he said,
were a disgrace to the country, the honourable
gentleman came to the third point, which has
reference to our relations towards our colonial
dependenciv, and in regard to this question he
said that it was impossible to furbear entering
upon the consideration of that lamentable occur-
rence which hid recently taken place in the East—
the military mutiny of the Sopoys, by which our
fellow-countrymen who were thinly scattered over
that country, had been exposed to the greate-t atro-
cities that tl:e eye could witness, and had never
been excelled in the annalsof ourcountry. With all
his heart and soul ho would express his fervid sym-
pathy for those who had been exposed to wrong
and butchery. They had endured privation and suf-
fering with admirable firmness, and had opposed
with a bold and determined front the efforts of the
mutineers, which were evidently directed to the pull-
ing down of the power of this country in India.
With the relatives of those who had thus fallen he
begged to express his deep and earnest sympathy ;
and whatever might be necessary for the Govern-
ment to do to master this rebellion, to crush it out, to
dissipate all the elements of it to the wind, though it
might be by the sacrifice of much property, ant
each individual in this country might be called
upon to contribute far more largely than his circum-
stances would allow, yet he would render to the
Government all the aid lie could afford in order to
procure the re-establishment of order, law, and
British supremacy in India, because he believed
that the interests of the 200,000,000 souls com-
mitted to us by God's providence to govern in that
empire were identical with the maintenance of that
law, order, and British supremacy. But while he
said thus much he did not think that our duty to
that country would Le fully and adequately per-
formed when we put down the parties who were
now struggling against our 'authority. He took a
deep interest in the measure which was passedsome
time since for the government of that country, and
he was then, as now, and as be had always been,
impressed with the fact that for a commercial com-
pany to govern 200,000,000 people in order to make
them pay was impolitic and unjust in the highest
degree. He believed that that system must be all
put an end to. The native army at Bengal had
been utterly destroyed. It was organised and main-
tained for the purpose of securing to this country its
conquests. It never had any interest for the coun-
try over which it was scattered, but now that this
army was no more he thought it behoved us—and
this was one of the solemn questions that members
of Parliament would be called upon to consider in
the next or ensuing sessions—to re-organise the
government of our Indian possessions. For his own
part, he was fi'mly persuaded that these posses-
sions should be placed under the government of the i
Crown, and that the Ministry of the day should be
responsible to the country for the proper adminis-
tr tion of the affairs of our Eastern possessionq.
Whatever might be the cost—and they must take
care that individual interests did not suffer by our
general lcieislation—the East India Company ought
to cease, and ought no longer to be permitted to
have any thing to do with the government of the East
Lot the management of affairs be transferred to the
responsible officers of the Crown ; let them maintain
such a mili ary force as was necessary to keep in
order the population of that region. Let them divert
the taxes from the native army to the develops-
merit of the resources of one of the most magni-
ficent provincm of God's earth—try to mete out
those measures of justice to whieh they were ent. tled,
and we might depend upon it that in this instance
we should find that the rule of right was the rule of
profit, and that, so far as our commercial interests
were concerned, they would never be so prosperous
as when the people of England determined that
justice should be done to India. (Applause.) These
were the principb s by which he should be guided
if it should be his good fortune to be returned as a
member for that borough. They werethe principles
by which he had been guided hitherto. He pro-
fessed not to be exempted from infirmities snore
than any other people, or to be more free from
those political passions which found a place in the
breasts of ether men. He had always endeavoured
t discharge his duty conscientiously and honestly.
He could truly say that in Parliament this had
been his constant aim, and he thought he could re-
fer with confidence to the constituency which he
had recently represented, and which, according to
constitutional principles, he ought now to repre-
sent, and he thought he could promise that
constituency, in case he should be elected, that any
profession lie had made he should endeavour con-
scientiously to carry out to the best of his ability.
They were not engaging adversaries, but only sup-
porting et rtain principles which they believed to be
right, and which they desired to assort. As he un-
derstood the question, they desired to send to the
House of Commons those whom they considered
would best represent them, in order that they might
express their sentiments during the settlement of
those great political questions which would come
before the Legislature. Such being their object,
they could assert those principles without violence,
and, although there might be some difference of
political feeling, he, for one, professed, and he
doubted not diet those on the other side hid the
same, an earnest desire that the electors of that
borough should not be influenced by party motives,
much less by mean or unworthy motives, but by
high public consideration, by judgment, discretion,
and common sense, and by ad those qualities that
went to make up a valuable and intelligent politi-
cal constituency. (Loud applause.) If they de-
cided, in the exercise of those qualities, that he was
not the man to represent them he would most con-
tentedly
bow to their decision ; but if they decided
that he was worthy of their suffrages, then he should
endeavour most earnestly and honestly to perform
the duties which they had intrusted to him. In
whatever way the decision might be made, whether
they chose him or the relative of his hon. friend
behind him (Mr. F. C. Hastings Russell, M.P. for
Bedfordshire), he would say this, that they deserved
to have an opportunity of exercising their freedom,
and he appeared there almost exclusively with a
view of affording them that opportunity.
The hon. candidate sat down amid loud cheers.
A resolution in favour of Mr. Miall was then put
to the meeting, and was carried almost unani-
mously.

The Opor to papers say that the submarine operations
to clear the passage of the Douro are progrcss)ag. A
