measure illustrated his political Ntews by the same
evidences of daring and sagacity which have urn
the " tented field" rendered
,his military cart er
illustrious. The latter is so cordial and earnest
a champion of his views within the House of
Commons that—in the matter of the Ballot for
example—he is the seconder of the annual motion
of Mr. HENRY BERKELEY. Such are the two
First Members returned to the New Parliament
,xt Westminster by the Liberal electors of West-
minster. Let us regard the circumstance, again,
ts an augury of success t,) the interests of Re-
formers generally. Let us accept it as a good
,men of the sentiments predominating among the
new members returned to the popular branch of
the Legiaa.ture by the really "free and indepen-
dent" constituencies.

They say (those garrulous talkers, the On, the
(bid/tunes, the Gobeinouches, dealers in scandal
aod mongers of canards) that K ALEXANDRE
DUMAS is on his way to this country, with
the intention of furnishing an account
of our English Elections to the columns of the
Presse—the Times of the Frenchmen ! He had
better make haste, or he will run the risk of hav-
ing no more story to tell than Carfripra's Needy
Knife-grinder. JoRN BULL has his sturdy
shoulder to the wheel—of Fortune !—and wi,l
make quick work of it. Already, since the di'so-
solution of the old Parliament, the earth has
turned upon its axis to the extent of merely some
four or five revolutions—and we have actually
returned upwards of a hundred representatives to
the new Parliament ! To be precise, we believe,
there are now exactly 119 candidates already re-
turned without opposition. And out of these there
are seventy-nine Libcrala and forty Coxiserva-
Several of the latter, however,
/laving distinctly declared in favour of Ministers,
we may divide these 119 otherwise rattier differ-
ently—giving some 25 or 30 as Derbyites, and
some 80 or 90 as Palmerstonians. So much for
what has already occurred. From which, what
may hereafter transpire c tin, of course, to a cer-
tain extent, be pretty readily predicated.
It is a somewhat noticeable circumstance, in
the present General Election, that no less than
three conspicuous representatives in the last Par-
liament appeal to their constituencies for re-
election to the New Parliam,nt—hriefly, by letter,
as invalids, unable in any way to participate in
the struggle for admission wi.hin the walls of the
Legislature. Viscount EBRINGT.►N has not sued.
in vain for re-acceptance by his old supporters in
Marylebone. Similar success, we doubt nut, will
in due course attend the application of a like
character made t, the electors of Butesh:re by
the Right Hon. STUART WORTLEY, Her MAJESTYS
Solicitor-General. It remains to be seen whether
the same good fortune will follow the manly
though supplicatory epistle despatched to the
men of Manchester from Rome by a much more
remarkable man than either, but a man, at the
same time, it must be allowed, of nit by any
means such stable reputation. Mr. BRIGHT,
and, with him, his Right Hon. Colleague Mr.
MILNER GIBSON, having drawn upon themselves
tie opposition of those Liberela i■ the constituency
who cannot find it in their hearts to follow them,
blindfolded by infatuation, through all the fens of
folly, and all the quagmires of inconsistency through
which they have been stumbling and floundering
in the wake of some nameless ignis fatuus of a fan-
tastic political hallucination. They, at least,
should be the very last to complain of the " divi-
sion in the camp" which their own eccentricities
have alone originated. Had the Manchester School
generally, but more particularly the principal
leadera of it, Mr. COBDEN, and Mr. BRIGHT, and
Mr. GIBSON remained true to the popul tr inte-
rests they themselves at one time so nobly advo-
cated—they must have continued to this day in
the van of the great popular movement. As it

ti ves.

is, they have either fallen back into the rear or
have straggled out upon either flank, according to
the whim of the moment, to indulge in some
eccentric escapade. Foremost still among the
leaders of that Movement remains to the lest the
Chief of the Whig Reformers. No longer th
Lord JOHN of "Fina►lity." Instead of that, talk-
ing boldly once more for improTements of all
kinds—social, political, economic, educational,
financial, ecclesiastical ! And, beyond this even,
like Pores depreciator—" hinting " fresh change
—and "hesitating " even the Ballet ! Ainoug
all these choppings and chaugings, twists and turns,
it behoves all practical Reformers to keep their
" weather eye" well open, just now, in the various
Liberal Constituencies !

This day some HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN
BOROUCHS will be called on to eltc their repre-
sentatives I What a topic might it, furnish for a
declamation on the liberties of Albion I A con-
tinental Socialist dreamer, or a prize essay writ ng

lators who could practically choose the Execu-
tive Governments of their respective countries.
Yet, we ask Reformers all over the kingdom,
where is the borough in which they could not
improve the representation ? In the long list we
find constituencies as different in number and
character as those of Finsbury, Manchester, or
Birmingham, and Thetford, Arundel, or Caine--

boroughs all alive with business ; and others,

old borough-mongers,. have haunted the house

But, name them all—laAlords, large employers,
customers, bribers, bankers, mortgagees, lawyers,
and could you not exercise the whole hatch of
them by the awful word—BALLOT!

We ask the constituencies, then, in the name
of common sense, to pledge their members to au
honest extension of Vie suffrage, and an honest
protection Of the voter. These are the reforms
first wanted. Income-tax reform, Bank reform,
Church-rate reform, that is, abolition ; Civil Ser-
vice reform ; Secret Diplomacy, that is, despot
diplomacy reform ; Ecclesiastical aturta reform :
—name any reform you please, all will depend
on political emancipation of taxpayers and fre,-
duce of voting. The Adininistr.i.tive Reformers
themselves, who at first resented the introduction
of these questions as an intrusion, now see that
an electoral oligarchy, for the more part the slaves
of an aristocratic oligarchy, will never at in Ad.
ininistrative Reform.

We ask of the few independent boroughs to
remember "their brethren in bonds "—and of
those in bonds t,.) make a bold and fearless effort
to break them for once—for this once—for if a
vigorous band of determined reformers be sent to
the House this time it will inaugurate a new era.
Neither Lord PALMERSTON nor L.)rd JOHN RIIS-
SELL, nor any Premier professedly of the Liberal
party, will dare to split it again too coon, and
too saucily. They will be obliged to stake their
credit on some advance, and it wil! be great in
proportion to the ability and firmness of the
borough members. The twelfth hour is come—
Freemen of England, do your duty !
But what shall we say to the poor Thafords,
A rundels, Abingclons, Woodstocks, &t: ? Are
Jiey to be asked to seal their own political doom ?
Our reply is, better lose themselves in au t xtended
County Franchise than live as now in political
shame. Better be free in a county than slaves in
a borough. They pine on in disgrace, as the
kept boroughs of those who have undone them,
but we commend to their attention a slightly
altered, or adapted, version of GOLDSMITH'S well-
known lines :

" When country boroughs stoop to folly,
And find too late that lords betray,
What charm can soothe their na-lancnoly,
What art can wash their guilt away 7

"The only art their guilt to cover,
To hide their shame from every eye,
To give repAntatme to their lover,
And wring hie bosom, is—to die"

Yes, ye " uuforitinate females" of the consti-
tuencies, self-immolation is your only means of
regaining political respect, the only means of
showing that you have not lost your own appie-
citstion of political virtue, and the only sty by
which you can punish as they deserve those who
gratify their lust of power reckless of your dts-

honour.
Let alt tie boroughs of England, then—small
as welt as great—remember that Eugland expects
each borough to do its duty.

We are pleased to see that Prussia and the dowry,
or annuity job, for the Princess Royal are not
forgotten. It has been already mentioned to
several candidates. Let it be mentioned to every
one. Some reasonable dowry we do not object
to. Let our princesses, while we have them, be
treated like princesses. What electors should
warn a candidate of is, that they will not endure
a large sum—FIFIT THOUSAND rourins—the in-
terest of a million of money at five per cent.—
bas been tAlked of—being sent away year after
year to be spent on a Prussian husband, on the
Prussian slaves of Russia. We want our money
spent at home. We would rather give our prin-
cesses double here, than half the sum abroad.
Above all, we resent the th:nght of paying a
heavy annual sum to the Royal F4inily of Prus-
sia. A Prussian prince ought to be able to main-
tain his wife. We have English nobles. in abun-
dance quite capable of doing it, and we protest
against this country being saddled with the royal
pauperism of Germany. Let elect..rs look to it.
We trust that the rumour of fifty thousand pounds
per annum is a mere rumour. It would be fatal,
we believe, to the credit of a Minister to make
such a proposal ; but unless he could declare on
his honour that he was influenced by no unmen-
tionable suggestion, it would be much more fatal
to the reputation of one whom, for our honoured
SOVEREIGN'S mike, we wish to btlud well with the
nation.

CREW —Berwick, weeneedey, March 25.—1 3[ll ea.] to
say that the Berviok lice-boat, which belongs to the
Royal Nationel Life-boat Institution, was instrumen-

Leith, which, during the heavy gale that prevailed
on this ctiamt on that day, was stranded on Spittal
Point. The service wail severe, but
gallantly per-
Trtned, it being dark, a heavy sea, arid a hail-
storm prevailing. One of the shipwrecked crew was
washed overboard, but was soon saved by means of the
life-b. at's life buoy. A few months ago this same life-
boat also rescued the crew of six hands from a foreign
vessel, the Provence, of Norway. This life-boat is on
Mr. Peake's plan, and was built, by the Messrs. Forest,
of Limehouse. She has not long been on this important

been required, her admirable sea qualities have elicited
