Well, they would have a dissolution, and he

informed. The following is an extract of a letter
from Galway :
" A large number of persons are named as the supposed
candidates, and the French party have already decorated
the walls of our ould town with ins notification of being a
candidate at the coming contest. Lord Dunkellin and John
Orrell Lever are also named in one of the Galway papers as
being two of the most suitable candidates for the represen-
tation of the borough. Mr. Anthony O'Flaherty, our late
representative, will also take his stand, and patiently wait
for the 'tug of war.' Sir T. Redington is again to take the
field, and it is said will make a good fight. Rumours are
afloat that Mr. Thos. Howard, of Manchester, will take his
chance, and Captain O'Hara, of Lenaboy Castle, it is said,
will come in for sweepstakes."

but that such a party would be returned as would
events ally lead to a fair representation in the House
of Commons. (Hear, and renewed applause.) No
one wished for arestless system of revolution. That
was the old doctrine prescribed during the free
trade agitation ; every advocate of that measure
was told that it was revolutionary--that was 'the
old tale. There was no revolution intended—all
that was requisite being a proper representation of
the country in the share of the Government. (Ap-
plause.) He trusted that the Government would
be taught that they were playing a reckless and
desperate game, and that the people would let them
know that they would have a consistentreform mea-
sure, such as the country demanded. (Hear.) Hehad
been but a short time their representative, and he
could not take much praise to himself for any-
thing that had been done; but he begged to
say that during his short connection with
Parliament he had receivedexoellent advice from

SCOTLAND.

CLACKMANNAN AND KINROSS COUNTIES

Lord Melgund will again come forward as a
candidate for the representation of the united coun-
ties of Clackmannan and Kinross in Parliament.

HADDINGTONSHIRE.
Lord Elcho offers himself for re-election to the
electors of this county.

his hon. colleague (Sir B. Hall), who kindly took
him by the hand, and rendered him every assist-
ance. (Hear, hear, and applause.) He thus had
the advantage of the experience of the advocate not
only of the local interests of the borough, but of
one who was sincere in the advocacy of the cause
of the people. (Hear, hear.) In conclusion Mr.
James sat down amid vehement applause, observing
that he was resolved upon constitutionally bringing
about, through his influence in Parliament. that
which he trusted would prove the greatest happi-
ness to the greatest 'numbers.
Mi. R. GOODWIN proposed the next toast, " The
health of the Right Hon. Sir Benjamin Hall,
Bart.," which was also drunk amid loud and en-
thusiastic applause.
Sir BENJAM2N HALL, on rising to respond, was
received with enthusiastic cheering. He tendered
his acknowledgments to the, committee who had
honoured him with an invitation to this festival.
It showed that when the heat of conflict was over,
that when party feeling had subsided, the electors
had a thought towards one who had represented
them for 22 years in Parliament. (Applause.) He
looked upon it as a mark of gratitude and respect.
(Loud .beers.) The present moment was rather an
extraordinary one. He (Sir B. Hall) had read in
the papers that day the address of one of the most
excellent and valued reformers in the House of
Commons, Mr. Thornely, the member for Wolver-
hampton, in which he stated that he had represented
that borough for 25 years, and that he had had but
one colleague. Now his (Sir B. Hall's) position was
a very different one. When he became member for
Marylebone, in 1837, he was told he should not
retain his seat for more than one session. (Oh, oh,
and laughter.) He had, however, represented the
borough for 22 years. There had been 10 elections,
and he had had six different colleagues, namely,
Sir Samuel Whalley, Lord Teignmouth, Sir Chas.
Napier, the dearest friend he ever had (Lord Dudley
Stuart), his late colleague Lord Ebrington, and his
present excellent colleague, Mr. Edwin James.
(Cheers.) His kon. colleague had been kind enough
to speak of the readiness with which he (Sir B.
Hall) had done all he could•to aid and assist him
since he had been elected, and he expressed his
conviction that he (Sir B. Hall) would work in har-
mony with him. He (the right hon. baronet) was
quite sure he should. (Cheers.) He knew that they
agreed in politics, and as regarded their local
matters he was also sure there was such identity of
feeling between them, that they might defy any per-
sons who came forward against them. (Applause.)
With reference to the dissolution of Parliament, he,
as well as his hon. colleague, was prepared to
meet his constituents. It was impossible in a
borough containing a population of 400,000 persons
to please every body. and so his hon. friend and
colleague would fin..d as he became more acquainted ,
with Parliamentary life. (Laughter, and hear,
hear.) But the mass of the electors were
most considerate, and were not prone to cavil
at trifles, and would be found ready to condemn
those who raked up petty charges against their
members. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Goodwin, who had
proposed the toast, had referred to the subject of
church-rates. One of the things which had embar-
rassed Government was the question of the aboli-
tion of church-rates. He (Sir B. Hall) was the
offender who had so far "back as 1834 brought
forward a proposition which at that time was con-
sidered exceedingly radical, for the abolition of
church-rates, which lie believed would be carried.
in 1860. He (Sir B. Hall) could point to his poli-
tical career without any fear of being charged
with inconsistency. Therefore he had no fear of
the dissolution, for which the Government must
take the responsibility. When they heard of war,
and that the Austrians had crossed the Ticino, it
was not right that England should be without its
Parliament and without its responsible Govern-
ment. They were told that the only way to pre-
vent war was to keep Lord Malmesbary at the
Foreign Office. (" Oh, oh," and a laugh.) Ho
(Sir B. Hall) could only say that he, from what
he knew, could not believe in the infallibility of
that noble lord. (Hear, hear.) In reference to
state of the borough he (Sir B. Hall) had been ro;:
elected seven times in the last 22 years. They hati
recently attended three great meetings in the
borough, at which their conduct had been approved,
and if there was really any one who was prepared
to throw down the gauntlet, they were prepared to
receive it. It was his (Sir B. Hall's) opinion that
it was the duty of the Government to call Parlia-
ment together at the earliest possible period. If
they did not bring in a good measure of reform,
then some one else would, and he (Sir B. Hall)
would support it. The right hon. baronet concluded
by saying that he and his hon. and learned colleague
would be prepared to go to Portland-place, depend-
ing upon the fidelity and confidence the ratepayers
reposed in them.
-Mr. LOFTUS then proposed " The Health of the
Mover and Seconder of Mr. Edwin James at the
late Election," which was drunk enthusiastically.
Sir JAMES DUKE, M.P., responded, and said he
should not be satisfied till he saw the hon. member,
Mr. E. James, on the woolsack. (Cheers and
laughter.)
Mr. Ross also responded, and said he had already
prophesied that Mr. James would be Lord Chan-
cellor, and he thought that before many weeks
were over their heads they should see the other
hon. member (Sir B. Hall) Secretary of State for
the Home Department.
Mr. F. M. HUDSON next proposed " The House
of Commons, coupled with the name of Sir John
Shelley," which was received with great cheering.
Sir JOHN SHELLEY, in replying to the toast, ob-
served, that the change which would be effected by
the dissolution would prove satisfactory to the
country. (Hear.) They had been dismissed because
the Government, with aminority in Parliament, had
ventured to bring in a bill for a reform of the
people in the representation of the House of Com-
mons. Her Majesty's Ministers said that the vote
come to was a vote of censure upon them ; and,
therefore, they called upon her Majesty to dismiss
them; but the fact was, her Majesty's Ministers
were in a scrape. (Hear, and laughter.) When the
Government Bill was introduced to the house the
Government endeavoured to win over the Liberal
members, and they were willing to give the measure
a fair trial ; but he for one, as a Liberal member,
was suspicious from the first of the cloven feet
for

mons who would tell the Government, on the first
opportunity, that they would have reform, and he
trusted that the measure proposed would not be
such a sham as the one lately presented by Govern-
ment. (Applause.)
Colonel DieKsoN proposed " The Bar of Eng-
land," coupled with the name of Lord Chief Justice
Campbell, which was also duly responded to.

EDWIN JAMES ; " The Ladies," and other toasts
concluded the evening's entertainment.

21-I.RYLEBONE REFORM DBMONSTRA
TION.

Last evening a public festival, given by the Libe-
ral electors of the borough of Marylebone, to cele-
brate the return of Mr. Edwin James, M.P., to
Parliament, took place at the Freemasons' Tavern,
Great Queen-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields.

Mr. E. M. Watson, a prominent member of Mr.
James's committee, presided, and was supported by
Mr. Edwin James, M.P., the Right Hon. Sir Ben-
jamin Hall, M.P., Sir James Duke, M.P., Sir John

M:P. General Sir John Scott Lillie, J.P.,
Colonel L. g. Dickson, Captain Winkworth, Mr.
Gordon Allen, Mr. Sleigh, Mr. 1). E. Cameron
(churchwarden of St. Pancras), Messrs. Clement
George, Thomas Ross, R. Goodwin, .Mortimore
Timpson, F. M. Hudson, J. Loftus, J. M'Evily,
Thomas Smith, John Wells, S. Taylor, W. T. Par-
kiss, and other well-known Liberal electors of the
borough.
The cloth having been cleared,
The CHAIRMAN gave " The health pf her Ma-
jesty," which was responded to amid great applause.
" The Prince Consort, the Prince of Wales, and
the rest of the Royal Family" having been duly
honoured,

The CHAIRMAN then proposed "The Army and
Navy." The independence of the country was
mainly attributable to the great power and indo-
mitable courage of the British army and navy, and
ie was the duty of whatever Government ruled its
destinies to take care to maintain the army and navy
in all its efficiency. (Applause, amid which the
toast was drunk.)
Major-General Sir JOHN SCOTT LILLIE returned
thanks, and, in the present aspect of affairs on the
Continent, called upon the Government to take care
not only to preserve the efficiency of our army and
navy, but to take care also of our national defences.
(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN said, when they looked back at
the late contest, they must feel delighted that the
borough of Marylebone was represented by a gen-
tleman of the talent of Mr. Edwin James. Their
hon. member had come before the borough at a most
important crisis, when the Governmrnt had pro-
mised the country a Reform Bill. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. James had prophesied upon the hustings that
that bill would be one which would not meet the
wishes of the country, and he (the chairman) be-
lieved they would all agree with him that their
hon. member was quite correct. (Hear, hear.)
If it were asked how it was that Mr. James

had been elected for Marylcbone by so large a
majority, that was a question that was very easily
solved. It was that honourable and straightfor-
ward manner which characterised him that always
spoke home to the hearts of Englishmen, and it
was that which had spoken home to the hearts of
the electors of Marylebone. (Cheers.) The electors
of Marylebone could not but look upon Mr. James
as the eloquent exposer of the mal-administration
of the army. (Cheers.) Could they forget his
glorious defence of the exile, Dr. Barnard ? (Cheers.)
Mr. James had been found the eloquent defender
of the oppressed. He had established the fact that
the forlorn and oppressed exile should find in exile
the sanctity of a home, that they were received as
•ne of our own great British family, and would ever
find a defender in their own right arm. (Cheers.)
After ridiculing the idea of an opposition to the hon.
member who had served them faithfully for 22
years, or of the other, who had a majority of 3,000
at a recent election, the chairman concluded by
proposing " The Health of Edwin James, Esq.,
M.P.," which was drunk with several rounds of
cheering.
Mr. EDWIN JAMES then rose amid loud applause.
Silence having been procured, the hon. gentleman
proceeded to allude to his late great triumph in
Marylebone, observing that when six weeks ago,
he was returned flushed with triumph, for the great
and populous borough of Marylebone, he then
said, that in representing so great a borough he
took upon himself very heavy responsibilities.
(Hear, hear.) Not only had he to represent great
interests of local importance, but necessarily so
great a borough carried with it mighty and great
interests in Parliament. (Applause.) When
elected, he prophesied to them that he would
shortly have again to appear before them ; that
in six weeks time he would have the honour

to ask again for their support, and, almost
before a week had elapsed, that prophecy was ful-
filled. (Hear, hear.) How did this come about ?
When on the hustings, he (Mr. James) stated that
he would enter Parliament without intending a
factious opposition to Lord Derb's Government,
but that if a sincere and genuine Reform Bill were

intreduced, which he doubted would be the case—
(hear, hear)—but if, as he said; a genuine and sin-
cere bill were introduced, it should receive no
factious opposition from him. He went into Par-
liament intending to carry out the statement he
made on the hustings. (Hear, hear.) The bill was
introduced, and an opposition followed, but when
Mr. Disraeli stated that a factious opposition took
place, it should be borne in mind that the first per-
sons who showed such opposition to the bill were their
(the Government's) own supporters. The first
opposition was that of Mr. Miles, member for
East Somersetshire, who was a strong Tory.
(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. .Tame§) found that the bill
was so vicious in its principles, so utterly a sham, a
delusion, and a mockery of the long sought for re-
form in the representation of Parliament, that,
although he had resolved previously upon taking
the voice of the houso and their decision on its
second reading, yet, when Lord John Russell's re-
solution was introduced, pointing out these princi-
pal defects in the bill, he supported that resolution,
conceiving that such a proceeding would be better
understood by the majority of the people. (Ap-
plause.) This course was, he believed, the -best
that could be adopted, instead of allowing the
bill to go into committee, thus occupying two
or three months over a defective, and so
insincere a Reform Bill. (Hear, hear, and
applause.) He considered that the Ministers had
taken upon themselves a serious responsibility
in dissolving Parliament at the present junc-
ture. No doubt the Crown in its prerogative
had the right to dissolve Parliament, but allow
him (Mr. James) to say that the House of Commons
had its prerogative as well. (Applause.) When
he said that Lord Derby had taken upon himself
the serious responsibility of dissolving Parliament,
paralyiging trade, and putting a stop to commerce,
and making the people ask what was the principle
of the dissolution, he was induced to call it a serious
responsibility, as there was no defined principle at
all. (" Hear," and applause.) Although the Crown
had the right, under the advice of the Minister, to
bring about a dissolution, yet some definite prin-
ciple was to be looked for under such circumstances.
Mr. Pitt, when he dissolved Parliament in 1781,
did so on the East India Bill. In 1830 the ques-
tion was one of reform ; and in 1841 the question
was free trade; and the people always
had some definite principle before them ;
but, in the present instance, the Government
had taken upon themselves to dissolve without any
principle, unless it was that the Government had
been thwarted in their intentions, as they said by
Buthd
he
a
an embarrassing majority. (Hear, dissolutionhear.)
(Mr. James) was not sorry that thee
taken place, as he believed it would bringt forward
a strong support from the Li Liberal p y.
country. (Applause.) There was
L.bnever in the
history of the country so strong a oral party in
the House of Commons, and he trusted that their
opponents would not be permitted to taunt them
with a want of unison or a want of cohesion ; and
in the result of a dissolution he considetrheed

Scott Lillie had observed, at a time when the state
of Europe was most critical—at a period when
sittin,, as they were at the convivial table,
they did not know but that war might have al-
ready broken out, paralysing the best interests of
Europe. He did not know whether England might
be drawn into the war or not, but as an individual
he begged to protest against their incurring any

THE NORTHFLEET DOCKS COMPANY.—This
company have received highly satisfactory aliesirances of
support from the maritime and mercantile interests of New
castle, Shields, Sunderland, and other northern ports.
Several town council and commercial meetings have been
held in these localities, and it appears to be a prevalent
Opinion in the coal neighbourhood that, by reason of the
great facilities which will be afforded to colliers at the
Northileet Docks, and,by the railways to be connected with
them, seaborne coal may be introduced to many districts
from which it has hitherto been excluded.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]-11olloway's Ointment and Pills
Spring Changes.—ln the spring, many persons otherwise
healthy, often suffer from cracked lips, rough skin, pimples
and blotches. All sufferers from such causes will find their
appearance and comfort both restored by the use of Hole-
way's preparations, which may be used without fear, as no-
thing in the ointment could injure the most delicate skin,
nothing in the pills could disagree with ihe most feeble con-
stitution. The ointment immediately cools and relieves the
irritation ; the pills purify the blood ; both act energetically
en the cutaneous functions. They likewise set the diges-
tion in order, strengthen the stomach, and regulate the
liver and kidneys; thus disorder disappears from the inte-
rior as the disfigurements depart from the Olin.
