| ELECTIONS IN ENGLASp.-At times we find de-
scrpuons of eecton-rows in the English papers,
which throw the little electien-day tfs," now and
then occurring at New York and Philadelphia, com
pletely in the background We extract from the
| London Spectator the following account OF the
scenes at a late canvass for member to represent
Cambridge in Parliament, to give the readers OF the
"Union" an idea how they manage such things over
the water; and assure them that less than the usual
amount Of fighting and quarreing TRANSFERRED on
| that occasion.

! The JEsuIrs IN FRANcE.--We have looked over
the foreign papers for some time past, with much
care, to find data from which to compile synop.
| sis OF the state of things in the French religious
world leading to the late recall Of the Jesuits but
have been able to Gull little of interest bearing on
| the subject. The following, from a recent number
of the Journal des Debats, may not prove entirely
interesting. II is a summary of late debate in the
|
NJ de Bossy alluded to the only question which now oc
cupies the public mindthe affair Of the Jesuits and the
negotiations of whchit has been the subject with the
Of Rome. We, this OCCASION thanks to NJ. de
Bossy, for should have regretted the session closing
without the government having had opportunity of CIV
ing categorical plantations the subject These were
yesterday given by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and
think they OF nature to dsspate all the doubts and
overthrow all the pl bubbles which the opposition jour.
nails have been raising during the last few days II
wished to know why the government preferred adopting
diplomatic negotiation legal and means Of
preston NJ. Guzot explained himself this point with
force ofargument and holiness Of language which will
hope suffice to convince the pTejudced mind 1t
asked with whom the representative of France had
negotiated NJ Guizot said and repeated in the most for
pontfcal government exclusively and directlyha the
negotiations opened followed up and concluded The
result OF these negotiations known; the rest is Of little
consequence We have ourselves with the
resources which the court of Rome thought it its duty
employ give satisfaction to the complaints wishes
| France. In word, wish to have done with the Jesu
it's Instead OF having recourse to force we have obtained
all by reasoning and persuasion Have by the
given by Quiet lost anything by this liberal religious
pacific and paciiyng soluton' Let rather say that
have gained everything The Count de Montalember
evinced zeal than GOODNESS in his reply uzot
We require to call to mind that the orator spoke under
the impression of legitimate disappointment in order
to notice too severely the fresh which
uttered from the tribune Let NJ de Montaembe speak
his own names let him speak in that Of his dispersed ad
vanced guard conceive the gall which he throws
his speech but win believe we have proof to
the contrary that he the organ OF the French clergy
will offer that insult the bishops behind whom he
has nevertheless dared to place himself launch forth his
manifesto. If we unfortunate to be drceved-f
the terminated with the Jesuits Is to
the episcopacy it is not feared to threaten with
will accept in spite Of ourselves this situation and
will accept with all its consequences. But let be well
knownwe shall be the first to appeal the energy of
government and we have the firm hope that il viii know
how to resist those arrogant pretensions 1t is thus
dersand the short and energetic reply ofM Guizot"
The CONDITION OF IRELANp-The following ex-
cerpts from the London Morning Chronicle, though
not very late, shed much light the state of feeling
existing in the "sister kingdom" between the Catho-
lie and Protestant population II not only furnishes
| strong comment upon the want of hberaty of
those English journals that always catch UP and
make mountains of the molehills Of popular disturb
ances which at times occur in the United States; blu.
it superinduces melancholy reflection over the inn
perfection of poor human nature, to know that in
this the nineteenth century, the age Of the march of
mind, and with the nation claiming to be the most
liberal and enlightened on the face of the EARTH such
occurrences can grow out of difference as to the
details of the christian system, which has for its ba-
| sis the motto--'ove one another"
