the repeal of the navigation laws, on which he believed

depended. (Cheers.) Much as he admired the ability

far as confidence in public men went, he confessed that,
comparing the conduct of the recent and present govern-

George Grey as of Sir Robert Peel and Sir James Graham.

NORTH STAFFORDSIIIRE.—Mr. E. Buller resigned, on
finding that it would be a very doubtful matter, with the
powerful influence of the Duke of Sutherland in favour of
his Grace's nephew, Lord Brackley, for any one devoid of
such support to enter the pOlitical arena as a compotitor

at Newcastle-under-Lune. After Mr. Buller announced
his retirement, some of the leading Liberals induced him

to withdraw his resignation, and oil Tiles,

also arrived, and resolved to allow himself to be put in
nomination, not really with a view of going to the, poll, he
being already one of the members for Litchfield, but
merely as a rallying point for the Liberals. On Wednes-
day, the Hon. and Rev. A. Talbot proposed, and Mr.
Kinnersley seconded, the nomination of Mr. Adderley ;

Captain Mainwaring proposed, and Mr. Pye, of Clifton,
seconded, the nomination of Mr. Edward Buller. Lord
Sandon and Mr. Smith Child nominated and seconded
Lord Brackley ; and Mr. Bass, of Burton-on-Trent, pro-
posed, and Captain Powys seconded, the nomination of
Viscount Anson. A show of hands was then taken, and
declared to be in favour of Lord Brackley and Mr. Adder-
ley. The polling was. fixed for Monday and Tuesday, and
a sharp contest is anticipated.

which he issued when a candidate for South Lancashire.
In South Lancashire, he " has a confident expectation
that the application of the principles of commercial policy
will realize the advantages anticipated by their advocates.
In North Staffordshire he says, " Though not disposed to
advocate the re-imposition of those restrictions on com-
merce which were removed by the now expired parlia-
ment, I am in favour of giving every encouragement to
native industry, consistently with the general interest of
the community." In South Lancashire, again, Lord
Brackley expressed his wish to see the blessings of educa-
cation " freely placed within the reach of all classes of her
Majesty's subjects ;" but in North Staffordshire the noble
lord is desirous that Catholic children should " partake in
h.npfits of eovernment aid,".only " if a measure to

that effect could be carried out without increasing the in-
fluence of the Roman Catholic church." In South Lan-

kt the Glasgow electln” Mr. M'( -

.iregor, made the fol-
lowing extraordinary revelation —(We quote the Morn-
ing Chronicle's report).—" If he were to refer to any
one part of Sir Robert Peel's public conduct more than
another, he could not be more proud of anything that he
did publicly than the testimony that he gave for three
consecutive days in June, 1840, before the committee of
the navigation laws, and which testimony was frequently
referred to by Sir Robert Peel, when he was carrying out
his great free trade measure (hooting, and cries of ' hear,
hear'). And he could obtain proof, that when Sir Robert
came into office, Lord Ripon, who was then President of
the Board of Trade, confided to him (Mr. M` Gregor)
the arrangement of the whole, and the resolutions as they
were presented to and carried by Parliament, (Cheers.)
Now he had done with all personal allusions.". Scarcely
recognised by Hansard, Mr. AVG-roger was the virtual,
prime minister from 1841 to 1846. It was he that taught
the ostensible Premier to prepare that commercial revolu-
tion, the early preparation of which, four years before the
potato plague was dreamed of, is acknowledged in the
Elbing letter. It was he that drew up Sir Robert
Peal's resolutions
.; it was he that manufactured his acts
of Parliament. It is worth the while to mark the
date of Mr. M`Gregor's first boasted conquest of Sir Ro-
bert Peel, viz., the spring of 1840. Sir Robert had then
vowed himself secretly to free trade—one whole year be-
fore he helped to dismiss the Whig ministers upon the
ground of their free trade measures. This antedates the
hypocrisy avowed in the Elbing letter by twelve months
and more : but a man who could play the hypocrite for
six years must have been a hypocrite all his life, and must
be expected to remain a hypocrite to the end.

How BARON ROTHSCHILD IS TO BE ADMITTED..—.
We are not aware that the matter is either so mysterious
or so difficult as appears to be imagined in some quarters.
There will not be any occasion, so far as we know, for
Lord John Russell to tempt fortune and the bishops in
the lottery of legislation. The well-known case of Mr.
Pease (the first Quaker member. of .the House of Com-
mons). in the year 1833, supplies a precedent, the prin-
ciple of which seems completely applicable to the case of
Baron Rothschild. The honourable member for London
will, we presume, on the usual oaths being tendered to
him at the table of the
.house, decline, as did his Quaker
predecessor, to swear in the usual form—intimating, at
the same time, his perfect readiness to take the oaths in
question according. to the form prescribed by his own
creed, and recognised as legally valid and sufficient in
every courtcourse, refer

under such circumstances. The question would be simply
and purely a judicial one; and no House of Commons,
probably no individual member of the house, would
dream of dealing with it in any other than a judicial tem-
per. In the case of the Quaker member. for Durham, it
will he remembered that Mr. C. W. Wynne's motion for

would sincerely maintain the same.]
