(Hear, bear.) Two very fair pro ponuons were maoe tne ueose ox commons namely. Vast the freeholder!

Tbosa propositions were very timpla ta themaelrts, and not, aa the Chancellor of tbe Exchequer called them, a rejection of tbe Government Keiorm lull and. because they were earned by a malontr of the House, the House was sent about its baslneoe.

ia order that the people themselves might declare whether they would or woald not have any mora liberal measure than that brought forward by Lord Derby. Well, tba is tbe reel Question at iataaand I have no hesitation in tavlnr. that, so far at this great eonstltneney it oonosmed, the elector! will return my boa. aad learned friend aad myself again to toe noose of Uommoat to lain I apoa a larger and more compreheniire measure than that brought forward by Lord Darby. (Cheers.) Pasting from that matter, let me ssy a few words with regard to a subject which hat been touched upon namely, tbe peeoo of Europe.

Those gentlemen who bare lntrodaoed the Bams of Lord Stanley have told yoa. If yoa desire to have peace, retain Lord Mslmeabury la power. Oh, oh and laughter.) Why, be it la power aad yet, by a telegram which hat beea received early this morning, ve areiniormed that the Austrian troopa have passed the Tidao, that tbe Prench troops nave landed ta Ueaoe, tbat taey are going over tbe Alps, and peering Into the plains of Sardinia, and a bloody conflict vlll take place there, aotwlUutandlng that my Lord Mai meebory sits at the bead of the Pordga Department. Hear, bear," and laughter.) It vat only oa Monday week that Mlniiten made theiriUtement with regard to oar foreign relations. We had asked them to make that statement previously.

Taey declined to do so. We would not prem them to do so. because they mid that If they did. they might Injure the pnbllt service. Well, they made their statement on Monday week, and certainly tbe sentiments conveyed to the public la tbe ipeechet of Lord Derby and of Mr.

Disraeli were those of tympathy with Austria. Since that I admit the nobis lord at tbe bead of the Government hat qualified bis expressions. Bat what was the oonseinence of his speech! Hit words ware ooureyed like lightening ea the wires of the electrls telegraph to Austria. Hit speech was read at Vienna, aad as soon at it was there perceived that the Ministen of tbe Queen la this ooontry rympathlxed with Austria, Austria determined on sending aa ultimatum to Sardinia, saying that If within three days Sardinia did not disarm, Austria would Croat the Tidao and take possession of tht realm of tht King of Sardinia. I think that if Her Majesty! Government had shown a more determined feellnr Austria would aot bar taken that course.

After Austria bad taken that ooojto which she did oa Thursday last the Cabinet met again, aad they remonstrated. Bat where was Parliament Where vat the voice of the representatives of Great Britain I Those representatives bad beea teat about their be rln net. Austria knew that Parliament had been dissolved. She knew that the tabieet ooold not be dlenneied in tbe Hoase of Commons or debated ia the House of Lords. Austria therefore determined on pouring her troops Into Sardinia to put down the liberty which existed there.

Austria determined on crossing theTlcino aad invading that ooontry, and now we an at war. Hear, bear." and a err of It't a rood Europe It bow about to be del aged with blood, and yet these genUe mea eomo forward and my Keep Lord Kal met bury la oEoe. JLaagbter.l 1 my. do bo taea thing. 1 my tbat at this very moment it was the duty of the Government, instead of dissolving Parliament at they did last Saturday, to have brought the Cham ben together la order that ve might in Parliament bare interrogated the Ministen at to what vaa really going on, aad have said la tbe name of the people of this eoontry what vat tbe eoone to bo taken upon this subject.

(Cheen.) I vill my one verd at rrrardt myself, because vbea aa opposition threatened against me at the very last boar vuaout any nouoe. it oi course time to look about One of those gentlemen who have pro cosed the name of Lord Stanley hat Invited you to come early to tbe poll. I give yoa the same Invitation for tomorrow. (Cheen and laagbter.) Why it thii opposition offered to my return Hsve I neglected my duties No, nor) Have I neglected any of your local Interests which are to numerous and to varied in their character I believe that for 23 rean I have done mrdaty towards you. Why am I to be subjected to this annoyance at tbe very last hour! The learned gentleman the Matter of Arts (laughter) hat told you that ha hat proposed bora Stanley because be 1.1 Jl fc V.

(Hear, bear.) I have worked for you for many, many yean. I have endeavoured to discharge toy doty towards you, and I think I may call upon yon to do me once more tao honour of sending me at one of your representatives to Parliament. (Cheers.) in answer to tne question, ui yoa vote iot oar inaian fellow tubjectt bUng permitted to read the Bible in the Go mrannit aehoola If tier desire It 7 Sir B. HlU said. If they desire It they may read It, of course.

(Laughter.) Ur. Ed wis Jamxs, Q.CX, on presenting himself to the assemblage, vat loudly cheered. He mid, Elector! of the borough of Marylebone, for the second tims after a very brief Parliamentary career I appear before you to solicit a renewal of year eoundenos. The boa. aad learned gentleman who, without the unction of Lord Stanley, and without bit knowledge, hat seconded bit nomination at a rsniptf for thii borough, bat told yoa that I hart per formed my duty during the time that I was In Parliament, aad this is tbe reward I am to hart I (Laughter.) He tells job alto that during the time I was la Parliament I hare exposed the sharacter of the Whigs, aad thii It tba reward tbe nomination of Lord Stanley which my boa.

aad learned friend gives me (or my exertions (Laughter.) Kov, gentlemen, without reference to myself for I. ear sot for this position, except that I would rather have tbe honour of meetisg Lord Stanley face to face with tbe electors if there be any slnoerity la bit candidature (bear, hear) myself, ears aot a farthing for this position, beeaaag I know what tbe signal ran ltd vlUbe, 1 am' one of tboat who think that the gentlemen who bava ptuyotud Lord Stanley aa a candidate for tbe upTomntttloa of this boroogh have done him anything but credit aad honour (eh tart), because I believe Lord Stanley, at a Boniemta aad a gentleman, would be the last person, whatever hit poUtioal pjjaeiplet may be, or tbe mere jparnom of annoyance, to pnx candidates to tbe expense of allowing hit name to be proposed as a candidate I without aay ahaaot of aeeeai for the boroogh of Msryle booe. (Loud cheers.) Aad it does appear to me to be aa lasolt to Lord Stanley aad to this eoattitaoaty that wbea aa elector aaked that tenUtceaa whs spake se spasmodically before at (laughter) whether be bad tbe sanction of Lord Stealer, answered No." (Hear, beer.) As tbe gentleman who proposed Lord Stanley lamed a manifesto la vhich be called pon tea gentlemen to contribute 1001. eaeb to defray the expense of oontesttnc the eleo ttoa oa bit Lordship! behalf, I presume that ba bat has beea mimili ta this unfair attempt to disturb the arewded into tbe period of the next 'aw months.

If England embark in a war the will have at my friend, who, like myself, It a lawyer, will teQ yoa, she always hat bad to pay tbe costs. Hear, bear." and laughter.) Kov.

what ought our position to be Tbe domination of Austria la Italy since the Treaty of Vienna has been a withering eons to that ooontry. (Cbeen.) Almost every square yard of that eountry, extending from her Lotnbardo VenetUa provinces to the south, has been under Austrian rule and tyranny. Wbea the Treaty of Vienna was signed, whichjpercelled out Italy to Austria, which treaty, at you know, was levelled at the annihilation of the power of Napoleon in Europe, Dot content with that, wbat did she do: Why. the Ink of that treaty was scarcely dry before the entered Into a secret treaty vith Naples, and insisted that Xaples should be governed upon the principles of despotism, that animated tbe Austrian Court, (Hear, bear.) And all tbe despotism that hat occurred In Naples from tbe day that treaty vat signed to this dsy It malnlr ewinr to that treatv vhich has made Naples a miserable puppet, a mere janissary of the Austrian Court, vhlch bat filled the Neapolitan prisons vitb mea who lay ia them entombed, as it vera, until they eame oat withered vitb age, aad staring like vacant idiots at tbe bright tun of heaven. (Loud cheeri.) It it Austria who has domineered over tbat eountry, and who bat menaced every Italian State that vas struggling for liberty.

And Is England to exert her influence oo behalf of Austria CNo.no.") No. and I trust the country vill say no, that the Hoots of Commons vtll my no, and that tbe voice of England will be raised, not for the purpose of becking" one despotism against another, bat la favour of the regeneration of Italy. I trust that the wish of England upon that question vill be enforced by a power far greater than that ef arms namely, by tbe Ewer of public opinion. (Cheers.) No man can tell, after first cannon Is fired and the first sword It drawn between Austria and Prance, what will be the result of that mighty eonfliet. If Austria experiences a reverse, and returns to her fortresses, don't you believe that the German Confederation vill interfere? and if ranee experiences a reverse do you believe that tbe throne of France it safe for an boor No maa caa my that the dynasty in Paris voold be safe 21 boon after the French forces bad suffered a reverse.

(Hear, bear.) Under these circumstances England should remain a silent spectatress. The result of this war may be that Italy will get that which the bat never had, bat hat always been aspiring to liberty and constitutional freedom. (Cheen.) Ia this conflict we should place our nlianoe upon the power of the public onion of England that it to my, in the free exprewon of be thoughts of her free people la her free press. That Is a power that has made strong the foundations of oar consti tutional throne. That it the power vhich in our own colonics struck the fetter from the slave.

That ia the power which, oomlag effaJgeatly like the rainbow, will dispel the ttorm which It threatening Europe.

There can, therefore, be scarcely the tbadov of a doubt that the Liberal candidates will walk over tbe coarse.

The Liberal party complain that there vas tome trickery the drier which" otcorred in issuing the writ for the city election. The authorities of the city have been accustomed to receive the writs for Parliamentary elections at the earliest period at which they eould be issued from tbe Crown and consequently its eoostitaeney bat sounded or hat been supposed to sound a key note vhich gave a tone to the subsequent elections throughout the eountry. In this instance, from aome unexplained cause, altnongn tne writs vera forwarded to the returning officen for Maryle bone and other metropolitan borough! in time for the proclamation to be made on Saturday, the writ for the city of London did not reach the Secondary'a omce until to late aa boar tbat it was necessary to defer the proclamation until Monday. The subject vat referred to at one of the meetings of tbe liberal electors on Monday by Mr. Crawford, vbo expressed his opinion' that the delay had been intentional, in order to prevent the example of the citixeos of London producing an effect upon the provincial elections.

Tbe CHA1BMAJT, in introducing Mr. Cox to the meeting, declared that be had faithfully fulfilled every pledge which be had given wbea they ant returned mm to rarlia ment, and asked why they should not re elect him now. What was there against Mr. Cox 11 there were anything, let them bear It but while nothing was alleged atainst htm why should they not oontinue to rapport him (Cheers.) Mr.

Cox. who was greeted vith a volley of cheen, observed tbat it vat unnecessary for him to trouble them vith any lengthened remarks apoa bit political opinions.

Mr, jJouIton to hit retiring address stated that the contest was fast becoming one ef the most acrimonious on record within the borough. Thii ve confess our Inability to.undentand, for. since the first moment vbea it became known that an appeal vaa agala to be made to the constituency, anything more prosaic or destitute ef Interest than all the rubeeqnent proceedings cannot veil be conceived. To be convinced of this a maa has only to takt a troll through any of the principal thoroughfares of the borough. Beyond tbe ordinary eruption of placards in the interest of one candidate or another, la vhlch the fronts of tbe greater wart of.

the publlchoutet hare suddenly broken oat, or a noisy public meeting iniidt or outside a tavern of an evening, there it literally nothing to Indicate aa approech lngeiecuon. A common parun oocteaS fount elhct of txsdje excites Infinitely more party feeling, andSt certainly at eclated vith far more of the grotesque and the ludicrous. If, then, no other consideration than the acrimony" of the contest prompted the retirement of Mr. Doultoo, be might, for the matter ef that, have maintained a rood stand ap fight vith Mr. Williams, and vith a fair prospect of snecett, though that gentleman it recommended by his partisans to the electon at their old and tried member." lie may never hsve rich a chance ain for a teat ia Parliament.

The seat of Mr. Eoupell, who it popular vith the eonitituency, appeared safe from tbe very first against all comers. Mr. William! harangued a publio meeting assembled la Uawkstone hall last night at tome length. Tbe only noteworthy point in his speech vas hit calling himself conservative, a declaration vnicn win amuse not ftv persons.

Speaking oa the subject of reform. I am," said he, what may be called a Conservative. am for the lnxtitationi of the eountry bat I van! the Hoase of Commons to be what it Professes to be a repre sentation of the people, and not what a majority of that House would have it a mere representation of the great aristocratic interests of the country aad of moaer." Re gardless of the ridicule vhich followed a veil remembered tally of bit during the last oontest, Mr. Williams also recurred to hit purity at a member of Parliament. He said the qualities chiefly wanted in a member of the House of Commons vera, not great ability to much at knowledge, and.

above all, honesty. He should be a man not to be led astray from Lit public duty by the blandishments or favours of any Minister, whoever he might be. He had never, he added, accepted a favour from anyone, although he had been offered all torts of civilities and acts of kindness daring tbe time be bad tat in Parliament. When a new member, he continued to my, entered the House of Commons, toe am tning vas to and out bit weax points, and vith that view he was turned Inside oat, They bad not yet found oat his (Mr. Williams's) weak point, and he did not intend that they ever aboald, if Indeed be had one.

Mr. Williams was frequently cheered daring 1 bit speech, and at its close a resolution was unanimously pasted pledging the meeting to support him at the election. The nomination is fixed to take place this (Thursday) morning at 10 o'clock, on hustingt near the Horns Tavtra, Kensington. BARNSTAPLE. Mr.

Laurie, the late Conservative member, hat withdrawn and there are now four candidates in the field. BOLTON. II It exceedingly doubtful whether there vtH be a eon Lett here, in vhlch case tbe late members. Captain Gny (Conservative) and Mr. Crook (Radical), will be re elected.

Before the dissolution of Parliament was announced the Liberal! proposed to make a vigorous effort to oust the Conservative member, and began to organise their forces; but a serious division, took plaoe In their ranks, owing to the determination of a small, bat influential portion of the constituency to have an independent eommlttee for Mr. Barnes, who tat at member from 1852 to 1857, when be was defeated. The oon tequenoe was that Mr. Barnes, after remaining tomt time ia the field, was forced to retire at the close of last week. An attempt waa then made to reunite tbe.

party by bringing oat Mr. Thomassoa, an extensive cotton spinner and an extreme Radical, but it proved ineffectual. Captain Grsys re election It considered certain be it oae of the seven Conservatives who voted against Lord Derby't Reform BUI, nica be jutunea cecaaaa it did not lower tne borooga Iran Derby on that occasion. He is "ofthe front rank of Radical Reformers," in favour of manhood suffrage, vote by ballot, equal electoral districts, aad annual Parliaments. BIRMINGHAM.

The nomination takes plaoe to day at Boon la the Town hall. The proceeding! are expected to be rather stormy, but precaution! have been taken to prevent a breach of tbe peace, aad to preserve as much order as may be compatible with a free expression of opinion on the part of the people. Doobtt are entertained whether a fair hearing will be given to Mr. Acland, who does not teem to stand well vith tbe great mast of the non eleeton but It It right to state tbat the friendi of Mr. Bright are using their influence to secure aa equal measure of justice to all the candidates.

Hitherto, the contest, though a remarkably keen one, bat beea conducted on both sides with fairness and good humour and it would be a pity if it were now to be marred bv anv diaolev of violence or had temper. The canvassers were oat la great itrength yesterday, and the excitement It hourly increasing. The streets are crowded vith people business it almost entirely suspended the election it the only topic of conversation. According to the statement of the Acland eommlttee, there are about 9,000 names upon the register, but they Include 1,000 doable rotes, reducing the actual available number to 8,000. In previous contests, however, never more thantwo thlrdaoould be brought to the poll, and therefore the eoostitaeney does not amount to more than 6,000 rotes.

The friends of Mr. Acland do not state the precise number of their promises, but they profess to be well satisfied with the result of their canvass, and tome of them even go the length or saying that about 3,000 votes will be recorded ia favour of their candidate. I la not surprising that the other party should pot the number much lower, bat they are evidently afraid that Mr. Acland will make a greater show of itrength than was anticipated, although tbe vague impression which seems to be abroad upon that head probably arises from the profound secrecy In which Mr. Aclsnd aad hit party have threaded their proceedings.

It appears, cow ever, that in 1817, when Mr. Spooner contested tht borongb, ao fewer than 2,300 rotes were polled in his favour. He was aot supported by a tingle Liberal, whereat on tbe present occasion Mr. Acland unites the suSrares of all the Conservatives and a large portion of the Whigs. The result, therefore, it not by any means so certain at the Brlghtitet teem to imagine at all events, the time it not arrived when they can relax their exertions with any degree of safety.

A direct appeal hat been made to tbe gun trade against Mr. Bright, onithe ground of bit peace vUwt. and It Is not unlikely, especially at the present moment, to bare a considerable eneet. mr. Acland bat also having solicited workmen for their votes oi tneir employers, and naa contradicted a rumour current oa Tuesday that be intended to retire before the polling dsy.

He and hit friends are determined to fight to the last, and the only symptom of weakness aad despondency which they hsve yet betrayed it implied ia their declaration that their principal object it, aot to oust Mr. Bright, but to enter a protest against bii assertion that his opinions upon reform are backed by all tbe large towns of tbe kingdom. There hat beea some eoquetting with tbe licensed who an reported to be dirrstiifitd with Mr. Bright on account of bis teetotal connexions, for the purpose of getting them to rote la a body for Mr. Acland but it bat eomo to nothing.

Upon tbe whole the candidate! may be placed that Scholafield first, Bright second, viq rn, BRECON (BOROUGH). Mr. J. Iiord. the Cnwmtin eudidaia.

CHATHAM. The present it likely to be one of the most severe oonterti ever knows la thii borough, the friendi of Mr. A. J. Otway, the Liberal caadidate, being unceasing ia their extrtioai to defeat Sir P.

South, the late member, although it Is un derstood that ha hat the whole of the Government support, A great deal of ill feeling hat beea occasioned among the a porters of Mr. Otway la consequence of a gentleman, who stated himself to be deputed by Dr. Grant, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Sooth vark, having informed the Catholics of Brompton and Chatham at a recent meeting that he had been directed by the Bishop to request" them to vote for tbe Derby candidate. Sir P. Smith.

Mr. Otway, naturally surprised at such a prooeeding, had an interview with the Bishop, wbea the latter stated tbat be bad certainly never given any authority for it, and that the person re erred to art hsve attached a wrong meaning to what pesied In conversation with him. The Bishop alto stated that be had not the slightest wish to Interfere with the votes of any of the Roman Catholim. The explanation given it oouiidered satisfactory by Mr. Otway, who hat the support of most of the Roman Catholics.

CHIPPENHAM. Colonel Boldero has retired from the contest for the representation of this borough. If a poll had been demanded, Mr. Lyiley, the Liberal candidate, would hare had a triumphant majority. COCKERMOUTH.

Valor Thorn peon.who eame forward as a candidate oa the Conservative interest, hat retired. Tbe late members. Lord Nasi (Conservative) and Mr. Steel will bare elected without opposition. COVENTRY.

The nomination for this city will take place tomorrow (Friday), at 10 o'clock. Though there are four candidates for the two teats, the contest is expected to be a very quiet one, and it is pretty generally believed that tbe two old memberi, tbe Right Uoo.E. Elliee and Sir Joseph Pax ton, will be re elected by a very substantia! majority. Mr. Ellioe'i return it absolutely certain.

He has aot yet per aonally'appeared among the electon, as he Is at present suffering from a severe attack of gout, as stated ia bit address to tbe electon published ia Tht Timet oa Saturday. Oa Monday Mr. Ellioe, member for the borough of St. Andrew's, called here nt route, aad, on behalf of hit father, addressed a large assemblage. The new candidates, if we may so term them, for one, Mr.

Morgan Treherne, has anmcoeasf ally contested the boroogh at every election since 1831, are not making much exertion to secure their return. Mr. Treherne, it it thought, will poll a larger number of voles than at the last election from the circumstance that several of his old Conservative friends. who deserted him on tbe last occasion, are agala by bis tide. The gentleman hat, however, aot been here for the last eight or ten days, and Is therefore making ao canvass.

The other caadidate a solicitor of Leamington of extreme opinions, stands ao nance whatever, and wlu not, it It understood, persist to the end la to quixotic a oontest. DOVER. Oa Tuesdsy evening Mr. Bernal Osborne addressed a large and entnunastie meeting oi tne electon ef Lorer, held In the Maitoa Dieu Hall, at which upwards of 2,000 penint wire present. Mr.

OasoRNl. who wai greeted with much enthuxUrtn. raid, I stand before you a caadidate for the borough of Dover on clear and distinct principles I have expounded my creed (bear, heir) aad it is not too much for me to ask Wbat are the principles of my opponents I (Uaar, bear.) iney come to uu consutueney of uover, nat always renuired aay man who asked for their rotes to explain his principles (hear, hear), aad to this day you are almost ia Ignoraaoe of what they profess. Por the life of me I cannot find that Sir H. Letke professes any one principle.

Pro bably, naving Del ore dim eyes tne promises, of veron port, and ao doubt rememberinz the proverb of oertaia Preach cynic who held that we promise according to our hopes and perform according to ear fean," he comes to Dover and tolls us that It it Impot si Die lor aim, in xus siiuaiioa, to promise anyuing. (Hear.) He goes on to allude to the magnificent fleet be in then informs hit hearers that Dover haa a fine harbour, but that it ought aot to be a tidal harbour." I do aot know bow he can prevent that. Admirals eaa do a great deal (a laugh), but 1 am unable to imagine how he caa prevent that. Aad, mind, be promises to da nothing. (Hear.) He then goes oa to my that as he was walking through the town in tbe eourw of his canvass he wis much struck with the squalor and wretchedness which met him la tome of the back lanes.

I think he might hare been at much struck with the squalor and wretchedness of Devon port, and that if be wanted to do good be might hare stayed there and have done it, (Hear, hear.) Bat this it literally the whole of the declaration of principles made by my gallant opponent, sad he comes before a constituency like Dover and calls that an exposition of hit political sentimenti I dismUs the senior candidate for the present and come to tils coadjutor. If ve know bat little of tbe politic! of Sir Henry Leeke we mutt do Mr. Nlcol the justice to say that ve know somewhat more, although a very little more, of Us, Mr. Nieol tells us that S3 yean ago he stood as a Protestant for the town of Youghal. It is rather a vague kind of recommendation, standing at a Protestant, tad it reminds me of the charity boy who, ia being examined, and asked vbat his godfathers and godmothen did for him, said they took his tins upon them, bat that he vat to be drawn for tbe militia.

(Laughter.) Bat upon what does Mr. Nlchol stand here I Not upon hit Protestantism. If I knjw anything of the matter he stands here as a director of the London and County Bank. He it going to make thinj! pleasant to. certain gentlemen, and I understand that one of the persons canveering for him is the solicitor ti tbe London and County Bank.

Several of the shareholder bowever, are not pLeased at tbia. This establishment hat already obtained some notoriety, not in relation to the Protestant interest, although connected with Ireland (a laugh), and tbe shareholders are not desirous of enoeontering fresh troubles. (Hear, bear.) But why are either these gentlemen here; Why, in default of an exposition of their principles, do they come before you? Captain Carnerie has published a letter, and what does Captain Carnegie say That Sir John Pakington told him he hal no option," bat mart come to Dover. Why wis Captain Carnegie dlsmiiefd ot because na would not go into rariiameat, because be offered to go another teat. But," said Sir John Peking ton and Lord Derby, you have aa option you most go to Dover." No," returns Captain Carnegie, I will not go to Dover, became I cannot succeed there except by trying means I vill aot condesoend to adopt." (Loud cheen.) A board seems to hsve been put up over the Admiralty list mas wnicn is ireqaenuy teen at the Horse Guards Wanted, a fev stout re eruita." (Laarhter.) La tbe Admiralty are wanted a aw juvenile memberi of Parliament of whom junior lords may be made.

Sir Henry Leeke, we know, has "no option and that, perhaps. It the reason for bit appearance. (A laugh.) Admiral Leeke, K.C.B., K.IL, comet here with still another order round hit neck the order oi the "mill. stone, jjxadrtlinsshm where oeptalne fear to I wai amused the other night la the House of Commons to bear Sir John PaUngton, wtta a fectxnlman and Pharisaical piety (laughter), talking about the honour of our pobtls men." He laid la the House of Commons but it was before this was found out (a laugh that the honour of our pt blic mea it not wbat it used to be." I echo that tea timent, (Hear, bear.) The honour of our pablia men it aot what it aeed to be and I wiU defy any maa to put his head on a period of our history wbea a Tint Lord of the Admiralty It found compelling his oOcen not to serve the State ta their prtf tcaioa, but, at a stat ol aom, to go to a borough aad get returned aa its representative ia Parliament, although told that such a return eould aot be procured by fair and booourable means. (Loud cheen.) We nave beard some talk of reoooatrueting the fleet but wo bava another job before uswe matt first i mum If act the Admiralty.
