OXFORD CITY ELECTION.

--- -- .~

The polling commenced yesterday morning at 8
o'clock, and was carried-on wi'h nualytted vigour
till 4in the afternoon. Mr. Cardwell healed the
poll the whole of the day, and at 1 o'clock the ma-
y ray in his favour-was no less than 101. H s opp-
lieat, however, gradually gained ground, and at
the close of the poll•at 4 o'clock the numbers were—
Cardwell .......1,080
•Thaekeray ........................ ...... 1,018

Majority for Cardwell 67
At 6 o'clock the Mayor declared the state of the
poll in the Towii-hall yard, in the preSence of an
invileTise awieml lage.. . .
Mr. TIIACKERAY ti; On came -forw:,rd to address

the meeting, and was received wish loud'raid pro-
longed cheering. He said—Give me leave to speak
a few'wOrds to you on .this occasion, for although
the red, white, and blue arts my friends, I•hope to
make the blue and yellow my friends also. Let me
tell you a little story, but a true one. Some years
ago, when boxing
was more common in this corm-
try than it is at the present time, two celeb-:ated
champions met to fight a battle on Moulsey-heath.
Their names were Gully and Gregson. They fought
the most tremendous battle that Ind been known
for many long years, and Gregson got the worst of
lf. (Laughter.) As be was lying on his bed tome
time afterwards, blinded, and his eyes doled up,
he asked a friend to give him something to drink.
A person in the room handed him some drink and
grasped him.by the hand. " Whose hand is this?"
asked Gregson, "'Tis Jack Gully's," was the reply.
Now, Gregson was the man who was beaten and
Gu'ly was the conqueror, and he was the first man
to•sheke him by the hancf, to shoW that he had
no animosity against him. (Cee,rs,) This should
be the conduct of all loyal Engli hmen, to fight
a good fight, and to bold no animosity against
the opposite side.. (Loud cheers.) • With this
Leling -(proceeded Mr. Thackerty) I go away
from Oxford. With this fee'ing I shall
have redeemed, one of the promises 1 made you
yesterday; the other I cannot by any possibility
answer, beeauSe, somehow or other, our side has
come out a little below-the ether side. (Laughter,
cheers, and groans.) I wish to shake Mr. Card-
well by the hand, and to congratulate him on t eing
the representative of this great city. (Cries of
"No, nt," " Yes, yes." and 14oan.s and hisses.) I
say it is a victory which you ought to be proud of ;
it is a battle which you ought to be proud of who
have taken part in it ; you have done your duty
nobly and fought most gallantly. I, a man who
was unknown to most of you, and who only came
before you with the rzcornmeTnclat.ou of my noble
1.
and excellent friend, Mr. A.7.0u have. fought the

batt'e gallantly against great mfluenccs, against an
immense streng h which have been brought against
you, and in favour of that honoured and respected
man, Mr. Cardwell. (Cheers, h'sses, and groins.)

Lord Monck came. down here and addressed the

kind
that
tgl being
to say
satYhe case, don't let a kind word in
allow me to sty a few words of the respect and cor-
diality which I entertain for. Mr. C,irdwell. As fur
the party battle which clivr,les you, I am, gen•le-
men, a stranger, for I never heard the name of cer-
tain tradesmen of this city till I c'ono among you.
Perhaps I thought my nanal Wes a little better
known than it is. You, the electors of Oxford,
know whether I have acted honestly towards you -
ani you on the other side say whether I ever
solicited a vote when I knew that vole was pro-
mised t) my opponent ; or whether I have not al-
ways sail—" Sir, keep your word ; he re is my
hand on it, let us part good friends." (Cheers.)
With my opponents I part so. With others,-my
friends, I part with feelings still mote friendly, not
only for the fidelity you have shown towards. me;
but for your noble attachment to the gallant anl
tried friend whom you did know—(loud cheers)
and who I hope will he your represen ative at some
future title. (Cries of "Bribery !") Don't cry out
I ribery ; if you know of it prove it ; but as I am
innocent of bribery myself I do not choose to fancy
that other men are ri,t equa'ly loyal and honest.
(Cheers) It matters very lit is whether I ant in
the House of Commons or not to prate a little
more ; but you have shown a groat spirit, a great
resolution, and great independence, az-A 1 trust at
some future day, when you are better acquainted
with me, when you know me bett.ir than you do
now, you will be able to carry your cause to a more
successful issue. (Loud cheers.) B,fore I came to
Oxford I knew there was a certain question that
would go against me, and which I would not blink
to be male a duke or a marquis to-morrow. In
March last, when I was at a•dinnor in Edinburgh,
some friends of mine asked me to stand for the
representation of their city. My answer was this,
" That I was for having the. people amused after
they had done their worship on a Sunday."
(Cheers.) I knew that I was speaking to a people
who, of all other', were the most open to scruples
on that point, but I did my duty
as an honest man,
and stated what my opinion was. (Cheers.) 1
have done my duty honestly to this el'Y, and I
bedeve that that is ihe reason why am placed in
a minority, but I am contented to holy to that
decision. I told you that.l was for allowing a man
to have harmless pleasures when he had done his
worship en Sunday. (Cheers.) I expected to have
a hiss, but they have taken a more dangerous shape
—the shape of s'andtir. Those gentlemen who
will
take the trouble to real my books—and I shall be
glad to have as many of you for subs:cat c•s as will
coma forward—will I.e able to say whether there is
anything in them that should rot be re.al. by any-
one's children or my owo, or by any Christian man.
I sty, on this ground I will retire, and take my
plade, with my pen and ink, at my desk, and leave
to Mr. Cardwell a business which I am sure he
understands better than I do. (Cheers Mr.
Thacke7-ay concluded by proposing a vote of thanks
to the mayor, and the proceedings shortly after-
wards terminated.

ask the responsible advisers of the Crown what they
mean: by 'affecting still to treat it as au open ques-
fon amongst themselves. NobAly asks, nobody
has a right t esk, why Lord Harrowby voted
against the Jews last year, and why this year he
did not vote for them. • But people ask, as they
have a perfect right to ask, why Lord Palmerston
permits the Lord. Privy Seal-to oppose the haine3Sl
of the Government and the will of the House of
Commons. The office of Keeper of the Privy Seal
is a sinecure ; but it has always been saved from
abolition on the plea that it was desirable to have
a seat in the Cabinet for some distinguished indivi-
dual who m ght -not te exactly suited to any cpec:fic
department, and who, it was said, might be well
employed in looking out of the windows cf admi-
nistration, and seeing what the people most wane 1
or wished to 'have'. May eminent persons have at
vafous times occupied the peat since the days of
Chatham, who preferred it during his second ad-
ministration to any other, because it I:ad no depart
men'al duties attached to it. But the case for its
suppresdon will become absolutely irresistible if it
continues to be filied by a man whose. presence in
the Cabinet is a positive hindrance to the progress •
of good government ; and the Liberal party would
grossly neglect and abandon their duty if they
silently sanctioned its perpetuation for so mischie-
vous a purpose.
Lord Palmerston's reply evinced a prudent recog-
nition of the weight and value of the representaf ons
thus made to him, as official head of the party. He
c q.t.-fully limited himself indeed to the practical
question of the day that pressed for solution.
"Would ho or would he not support- the .list

noble vi'ccunt, seeing no bAter use for a Tuesday
evening, bland ty repb ed—" Ct rt ainly." When,
however, the further interrogative was put to him
—whether he would give a Government day for the
furthe r progress of the bill, his lordship seems to
have taken a series of special demurrers. First of
all, he had no day to q)are ; then, even if he had,
the concession of one day would be of no use ; and
finally, there was plenty of time, for noboiy could
tell whettirr Parliament might not sit another.
month. This is fencing, not meting the difficulty
in the face. Perhaps a little more st-ady pressure
may open the Prerder's eyes to the propriety and
expediency of going further ere many days elapse.
If he only wants to be pressed, and to have an ex-
cuse in the fact, it were a monstrous pity not to
gratify him.. We think the adjourned meeting did
well in alhering to their original intention of sup-
porting Lord J. Russell's proposition. The house
last night voted for the int!oduction of Iz-ird John's
bill by a majority of 92, and wh tfever the ulterior
fate of the me'asuremay be, it will clear the way of
qualms and quibbles, and make • the path plainer
that leads to the alternative of a resolution. We are
in no hurry to have that great question argued. Its
time will, as we believe, come, and that speedily.
When it comes, we hope it will be debated
wit'i fulness and with freedom. But in the mean-
while we must be permitted to pooh-pooh the so-
lemn twaddle which senate short-sighted puzzle-
pates inclulp in, about what they call a c-mfliet
with the Courts of Law. A conflict might no d-nibt
be attempted, for the sake of maliiug mischief and
ere ‘Vng costs ; but its duration would of necessitir

besurnm grilyierminated by aDuclarat: ry Act,which
neirhsr House cf Parliament dare refuse to pas,
for the simple rea-on that it would become au ob-
vious necessity. A couple of grand field days there
might be in Westrniuster-hall, and two or three
late nights there would probably be in the Lords,
rind as many in the Commons ; and then the hub-
bub would end, for no other or more awful reason
than th‘t i•s continuance would on al hands be
deemed intolerable.
