Mr. RAwLiNs then rose to reply, evidently under the
influence of great emotion, and assured the meeting that
he had faced the unbroken hosts of monopoly with far
less misgiving than he faced them on this occasion, to
return them his thanks for the enduring work of art with
which they had complimented him.. He felt that too
much credit had been given to him, and too little
to the friends around him with whom he bad worked ; and

particularly he referred to the exertions of Mr. Thorneley,
which, in London especially, had been most valuable, as
well as in the country. He dwelt also on the eminent
services rendered by Mr. Brown, who had brought to the
cause both the zeal of the missionary and the knowledge
of a world-wide commercial experience. Mr. Heyworth
and Mr. Holland had also contributed material assistance
to the cause, as had Mr. Rathbone, Mr. Blackburn, and
Mr. C. Robertson. They had also been under obligations
to the council of the association for onerous duties per-
formed in writing and distributing addresses, written and
oral, in a number of places ' • and in eradicating the
fallacies with which the subject of Free Trade was sur-•
rounded. Mr. Rawlins also referred to the sssistance
which he had received from Mr. James Harvey and others.

Having entered into a brief apology for the working thus
far of Free Trnde policy, Mr. Rawlins expressed once
more in very feeling terms his thanks for his flattering
reception and the handsome testimonial presented to
him ; and concluded by proposing the members for the

county.

THE POI

AND THE GOVERNMENT.—It may be i

questions recently put to him with reference to the mission
of the Lord Privy Seal to the Italian States, that one of
the first measures of the government, after the recess,
will be the introduction of a bill into parliament calcu-
lated to remove the legal doubts which exist as to our
diplomatic relations with the Papal See. • Lord -Lans-
downe thought fit to declare, on the occasion to which we
allude, that, although Lord Stanley had abstained from
)ropriety of establishing

ssin any opinion on the

_
such relations:, the ministers of the crown make no secret
of their conviction that it is desirable that all impediments
to such a measure should be removed, and we presume
that, when the proper time arrives, they are prepared to
act upon this declaration.—Times.

It appears that he had from his father an allowance 0

£250 per annum, or somewhat more than one-quarter of
his total income. The youth went into residence in Oct.
1845, and, instead of applying himself to the studies,
sems at once to have given himself up to the follies of the
university. The trade harpies of the place at once fixed
upon their prey. From the statement of Mr. Cooke, the
counsel for the insolvent, it would seem that during the
first week of hi
