L > N LEON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 13, 186

We -are much obliged to Lord DERBY, on be-
half of Reformers, for calling attention, on Mon -
thy night, in the 11)use of 1.-)rds, and iu an
eloquent speech, to our rem Irks of the preceding
Wednesday. Of course our Candidates' Catechism
repeated by Lord DERBY will ba heard in many
schools which would not have heard it from u=.
We know well enough what his olject was. He
did not ofcourse mean to teach it, but it is the good
fortune of truth and justice that their dictates
cannot be even enunciated without increasing the
circle of approvers. Lord DERBY meant to show
Liberals that Lord PALHERSTON stood, according
to a journal which has warmly supported him in
every bold measure abroad, and honest mea-
sure at home (hut which has as unsparingly
denounced all his back,lidings both at home and
abroad), that he stool at the bottom of his class ;
That he could not indeed even say his First Cate-
chism. Let it bo so. Our doctrine is that if
Members of Parliament all know their CLtechisno,
as they ought to do, they will soon teach it to any
Prime Minister. It is members who make Minis-
ters, and the people who make members ; and we
want the people now to see to it that old candi-
dates are fit for confirmation in their old seats,
and new ones more fit than those whose placeb
they fill.
We are not, like Archbishop WHATELEY, fond of
quoting ourselvei4, but it is worth), while perhaps
to recall our precise remarks.
" Reformers—you must not b 3 beguiled by generali
ties. Put no faith in the candidates who will only pr
saviely to support "a liberal policy," "every well-
considered measure of reform," " safe and steady pro-
gress," and who equivocate, and shuffle, and qualify,
and refuse to come to the point when some of the prac-
tical question, on Which all. honest Liberals are agreed,
are brought before them. We do not like pledges when
a solject is new, or complex, but there are three or four
liiwral questions now in hand on which every t worth
for ought to have made
up his mind ;
a Liberal's voting
we may mention—
" The Ballot ;
" The Extension of the Suffrage, and in
particular
Locke King's motion ;
" The Bank Monopoly ;
" Church Rates ;
" Abolition of Purchase in the Army, and Promotion
by Merit ;
" A graduated lnelme Tax.
" Here is a list which might easily be increased, and
no man deserving the name of a Liberal ought, t..) wioce
when c•ttechised on each of these subjects.

Now we reassert, almost as a traistn, that no
Liberal ought to wince when, put through this ele-
mentary catechism.. Whether Lord PALMERSTON
would kick at it or not we care very little. L')rd
DERBY himself witnesses that he will very easily
yield to "external pressure"—which, being in-
terpreted, means pressure by the electors
or by those who represent them. He even

_ _ •
threatens him in the Conservatively eloquent pero-
ration of his speech, that if he do yield up any
of his Tory predilections to popular pressure,
—then, woe be to him ! Down will come upon
him the whole Tory phalanx, and by the fatal

sixteen they will crush him and his. Lord DERBY,

AUSTRIA.

A Vienna letter says :------r‘jount R. d'Appony,
our envoy in London, has left to return to his post.
Before setting out he had a long conference with
Count Buol and Sir H. Seymour ; his leave of ab-
sence was to have continued to the Ist April, but
he has had to abridge it in consequence of his pre-
seine being necessary at London. M. Lichman,
who is to replace Baron de Koller in the commi,:-
sion for the reorganisation of the principalities, has
also left for his post."

FIRE BRANCH.
The Fire Premium in 1856 amounted to about 150,0001., placing the
Company among the very largest Offices in the Kingdom; indeed it
is believed that there are only three or four offices which equal it in
Fire Revenue. Insurances are received upon nearly all descriptions
of property in the United Kingdom, the Colonies, and most Foreign
Countries; the rafts of premium are exceedingly moderate, and
governed in each case by a careful consideration of the risk proposed.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

DEAR SIR, —Will you kindly permit me, through
the medium of your columns, to say there is not
the slightest truth in the statement contained in
this morning's Post and Advertiser, that I had
given up my hope of obtaining a seat in the House
of CommorP, for Bridport. On the contrary, my
canvass has been most flattering and successful.-
-I am, dear sir, yours faithfully,

NAPLES, March 14.—A Muratist party is rapidly
forming and consolidating. An invitation to the
army is in circulation, calling on the troops no

daily expected to be placed in a state of siege. Two
Swiss generals, with the Neapolitan Nunziante,
are to have the command. The King is said to
have despatched private agents to Paris and Lon-
don, with a view of reconciliation. The Neapoli-
tans, finding themselves " neglected," as they call
it, by England, are looking to France.

LIVERPOOL —3lAatcH 17.
At this morning's market we had a small attendance of the
millers and dealers. The business was limited. There No's'
however, a disposition to invest in wheat at prices, however,
which holders would not submit to. The reduction in prioes
from Tuesday last was called about 2d to 3d per bushel on
wheat, 6d to is per barrel and sack on flour, and 6d to is
per qr. on Inllan corn. The trade in barley, beans, Lod
peas was limited, and in all cases of business prices were
easier. Oats and oatmeal sustained late rates.

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin of the 14th says :—" In a
verbal note presented on the 11th the Danish Go-
vernment declares that it is ready to make all the
concessions demanded as regards the domains of
Lauenburg. But Prussia will not be contented her-
self with that extent, and in concert with Austria
persists in her intention of submitting the question
to the Diet. The memorandum of the Danish Go-
vernment was known here yesterday ; and our
Government was surprised to find that the intro-
duction to the copy destined for Prussia was not
very becoming in tone, anal tlid.t, besides it pre-
tended that the union of the duchies and Den-
mark was never purely personal, but that, on
the contrary, it has always been real. It ap-
pears from a semi-official article in a Kiel journal
that, to prove the reality of the union, the Danish
Government relies on the patent of King Cbris-
tian VII. of the 9th Sept., 1806, relative to Hol-
stein ; on the treaty of the 4th June, 1815, relative
to Lauenberg ; and on the patent of incorporation
of the 22d Aug., 1721, relative to Schleswick."

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, MARCH. 17.
1 •
Th 're is not much business doing, but there is a
healtl l
-tone in the market, and principally owing ly
to the good accounts from Calcutta and Bombay.
Prices) are very firm. The advises from Liverpool
speak )of an active business in cAton, with prices' in
fAvouri of sel!er, and this has helped to suppor& the
yarn and cloth markets. There would probably
have been more business in yarns this morning had
the Geman letters come to hand; they were not
1 rece;v4l till this; afternoon. From their tone it is
not improbable that.some engagements will be en-
tered into this evening for twists suitable to that
market The yarn market is very fgra_geterally,
with ari upward tendency, and spitinera decline to
' enter in to contracts at present rates.
Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report :—" There is
little change to notice in the market since-our last
report. 1 We continua to have a good demand for
low shOtings, Madapolams, and jaconets fir India,
especial'y since the report of the improved accounts
to hand`: this morning by the overland mail, and
-prices 4till tend upwards. Longcloths, T-cloths,
and good printers also continue in fair request at
last week's quotations. With these exceptions the
market is quiet, but without change in prices.
I NOTTINGHAM, MARCH 17.
There is a decided improvement in tha home de-
mand for lace, the fine weather baying operated
favourably. In addition to an improvement in the
home trade, there ara numerous orders in the mar-
ket for export both for the Continental and Ame-
rican markets. For the finer descriptions of plain
nets there is more inquiry, and in coarser qualities,
notwithstanding the high price demanded, there is
a good business doing. In silk and fancy laces the
trade is quiet.
In hosiery there is a fair amount of business
' doing, and the favourable change in the weather
will create a still further improvement.' Manufac-
turers are anticipating both a good home and fo-
reign trade. The framework-knitting branch has
for some time being in a healthy state, the opera-
tives being well employed at good wages.
. Silks an 1 yarns continue firm.
LEICESTER, MARCH 17.
There is very little alteration to report in trade,
although there is no doubt that the fineness of the
weather will influence business for the better. Cot-
ton goods are sold readily, and this branch is de-
cidedly brisk. In worsted articles very little is
doing. Materials, both worsted and wool, con-
tinue very high.

LEEDS, MARCH 17.
The cloth-halls have been visited by a good
number of buyers to-day; but stocks being low,
not a very large business was done, and the mar-
ker, upon the whole, was of a quiet character.
The light kinds of fabrics for summer wear are in
chief requst. _

- HUDDERSFIELD, MARCH 17.
The cloth-market to-day has riot been quite so
brisk as last Monday, the agitation about the im-
pending election rather checking business. Low
goods, unions, steel mixtures, &c., meet with
tolerably good sale. Wool continues high and firm
in price.

nus at Landport into Portsmouth Dockyard, for the
exclusive use of the Government in the conveyance

veyed from a distance and embarked with similar
facility.

however, a disposition to invest in wheat at prices, however,
which holders would not submit to. The reduction in price°
from Tuesday last was called about 2d to 3d per bushel 01
wheat, 6d to is per barrel and sack on flour, and 6d to 16
per qr. on Lilian corn. The trade in barley, beans, and

Istain,cler of the cake whiegMaijareassey had so
eaten was given to some fowl, and they instantly
died, and the rest of it was sent up to Cork to lie ana-
lysed,-and was found to cont a;n n o less than 80 grains
of arsenic..None Of the other six cakes produced any
injurious effect on the persons who a'e them, and
upon inquiries being instituted it was afickrtained
that on the 13th Dec. previously the prisoner went
,
into the shop of Mr. Justice,, in Mill-street, and
purchased a large quantity of
" rat powder," which
was chiefly composed of arsenic, and which she said
she wanted to kill rats that were destroying her
eggs. Mr. Justice at first declined-to give her the
poison, but eventually did se, upon a person named
Clifford vouching for the respectability of a man
Quinlan who was present, and who said lie knew
the prisoner, and that she was a proper decent
woman. The prisoner in her &fence admitted that
she did administer the poison as alleged, but stated
that she did so-at the instigation of Cornelius Casey
and other memliers of his family, who now turned
upon her to prosecute her for it, in order to get lid
of her. The jury, without hesitationo convicted
the prisoner, who was sentenced to be transported.
for life, with sentence of death recorded against
her.

ITALY.

The Milan gazette, of the 7th, states that the
Emperor and Empress of Austria arrived at Mantua
on the 4th, and were received with loud applause
by the public on entering their box at the theatre.
On the Gth their Majesties arrived at Verona, where
they were received at the station of Porta Nuova by
Field Marshal Radetzky, Count Bissingen, and all
the principal civil and military authorities. The
station was elegantly decorated for the occasion.
Their Majesties then rested some time in Field Mar-
shal Radetzky's palace, and afterwards started for
Treviso by the same train which brought them.
Both at the station and on their passage along the
streets of Verona they were loudly greeted by the
population. The same journal announces that the
Emperor has granted a general amnesty to all the
soldiers and officers of inferior rank who, in 1848-49,
deserted the Imperial army, provided they have
committed no other crime. Moreover, those, who,
having returned before the proclamation of this
amnesty, have been condemned by the military
tribunals to a longer period of service in the army,
are to have the surplus time thus imposed re-
mitted.

Speakers who have ably filled the chair of the

house, not to eo:it-mt tllem3elves simply with an
expression of their own thanks, but to give to the

Crown an opportunity of going hand in hand with
this house in its acknowledgments of great and

meritorious services. I shtil therefore, withou

further preface, following 111.3 example of previous

occasions, move that a humble address be presented
to her Majesty, praying that she would be pleased
to confer some mark of royal favour upon you, sir,
and assuring her Maj,:sty that this house will make
g°°,l any expenditure that may be attendant upon
such merks of the , royal favour. (Loud cheers.)
Skil.. PAKINGTON—Sir, though I cannot hope
to add anythinE;
to the eloquence with which the
last vote was moved and seconded by the noble
lord and my right hon. friend, I may be allowed
the very great gratification of seconding the motion
which the noble lord has now made. Sir, lam one
of the members of this house—I believe, compara-
tively
spe,king, now small in number—who have
hid the honour of a seat in this house during the

of the long period of 18 years during which
you have so ably whole

then, as now, sitting on this side of ill, house ; and .

it was not my fvrtuno to coistltuto ono of that
