GOVERNMENT INTENTIONS.—III Lord John Russell's
address to the electors of London, offering himself for
re-election, occurs the following passage—" I trust that
the measures of commercial freedom which still remain
to be accomplished will not occasion the renewal of angry
conflict. The government of this country ought to be-
hold with an impartial eye the various portions of the
community engaged in agriculture, in manufactures, and
in commerce. Th., feeling that any one of them is treated
with injustice provokes disturbs legislation, and
diverts attention from many useful and necessary reforms.
Great social irnprovemen;s are required; public education
is lamentably imperfect ; the treatment of criminals is a
problem yet undecided ; the sanitory condition of our
towns and villages has been grossly neglected. The ad-
ministration of our colonies demands the most earnest
and deliberate attention. Our recent discussions have
laid bare the misery, the discontent, and outrages of Ire-
land ; they are too clearly authenticated to be denied ; too
extensive to treated by any but the most comprehen
sive measures."

SOUTH LANCASHIRE ELECTION.--On Friday a nu-
merous meeting of the friends of free trade and reform
took place at Eastwoods' Hotel, Dale-street, to devise
measures to secure the election of Wm. Brown, Esq.,
as representative in Parliament for South Lancashire, a
vacancy having occurred by the election to the peerage of
Lord Francis Egerton. Robert Ellison Harvey, Etq.,
was called to the chair. He said they bad now, for the
first time a candidate selected, and all they had to do was

they had but to exert themselves to ensure success. .Mr.
\Vm. Rathbone moved a resolution pledging the :reefing
to use every constitutional means to effect the object in
view. He believed, indeed, that little exertion would be
required, for he did not anticipate any opposition. The
motion was seconded by Mr. :James Holmes, and carried
unanimously. Mr. Blackburn paid a high compliment to
Mr. Brown for the cheerful manner in which he accepted
the requisition, and to his merits as a merchant and a
man. The duties would be onerous, and would require a
sacrifice from Mr. B. at his time of life, but be (Mr.
Blackburn) believed he would faithfully represent the
southern division, which was more to be considered as
one large town than as an agricultural district.
.Mr.
Browne had done much for free trade, and he (Mr.
Blackburn) trusted that through their candidate they
would be enabled to celebrate the triumph qf those plum-
pies. He moved the thanks of the meetinglo Mr. Brown
for his promptitude in accepting the requisition, which
was seconded by Mr. C. Holland, and carried with cheers.
The election of a committee and officers was next dis-
cussed. Mr. C.'H. Ran tins proposed, after a warm eu-
logy, Mr. Rathbone as chairman. This was seconded,
but opposed by Mr. Rathbone, whoproposed as an amend-
ment their present chairman, Mr. Harvey, under whom,
and him alone, he would act as a committee-man. The
amendment was seconded by Mr. Mulleneux. A variety
of compliments and badinage was banded about, both
Mr. Rathbone and Mr. Harvey declining the post of ho-
nour. Finally, Mr. J. C. Ewart was named, and con-
sented to serve. A committee was then appointed, and
after some routine business the meeting broke up. At a
previous meeting on Wednesday a requisition signed b y
9000 electors was presented to Mr. Brown, when be con-
consented to become a candidate for the representation of
this division of the county.
