New, with me in a hearty vote of thanks to our highly respected chairman, Mr. Wilson, shall not attempt to eulogise Mr. Wilson to you.

He is a- gentlemen whose clear head and kind heart has secured the confidence and esteem of every one of us, and I am sure our rejoicings to-day would not have been so fervent if we did not know and feel that our worthy employer has left behind him a representative in every way equal to the duties of his high position and I feel assured that, under his leadership, every one of us will do what men can do to maintain the high eminence- to- which Lennoxmill has attained in the manufacturing I therefore call upon you to join me in three hearty cheers for Mr. Wilson. Mr. Wilson made a suitable reply, and thanked them all for their kindness, and hoped that every one would endeavour-to do his best for the good; of R. Dalglish, Falconer so that Mr.

Dalglish would find dl worthy of the confidence he reposed in them during his more protracted absence. The great crowd wore sow requested to form themselves into the order of procession, which was soon done, and really it was a most pleasant sight. About two thousand people all ages, from the hoary head to the blooming boy, and the females, about 600 strong, marching also in good order, in their best attire, added a charm to the scene, the like of which has never before been witnessed by our quiet village. Mr. Dalglish still joined the procession on foot, and the processors, after describing a circle round the park, accompanied Mr.

Dalglish again, with banners and music, through the village towards the west, on his way home, for about half a mile, when the procession came to a stand, and the band played with exquisite effeot "God save the Queen." Mr. Dalglish, after waving his adieu to the vast enthusiastic throng, joined his carriage and rode off, amid the deafening acclamations of his lovingpeople; The procession now returned to the public park, when every one took his own way, with joy depicted on his faoe, not soon to forget the great 4th of April, 1857. THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC. The "National Club." Yesterday, at the Central Police Court Bailie Hannan presiding William Gordon Lennox, keeper of the National Club, Candleriggs Street, was accused of having, on the morning of Sunday the 29th ultima, permitted disorderly conduct within his premises. The prominent witnesses in the case were; as usual, Coglan and his superior Stupart, who heard a noise in the house aud listened at a broken pane in one of the windows.

They heard a dispute about tossing, and' one man threatening to knock another's face off. They stood a considerable time and heard a great noise. This was betwixt one and two o'clock. Another policeman, who passed the house about three o'clock, observed, through the said window, that a man had fallen, or had been pushed down the stair. The man rose up, and witness obscrvod that his nose washart.

It was a dreadful noise at this time, and fighting and quarrelling were going on inside. The police did not enter tho premises, or give any warning, but allowed the row to proceed. For the. defenoe six witnesses were examined, who swore that there was no unusual noise, nor fighting, or quarrelling. The charge was found proved, and a fine of 10 imposed.

Tbk Ayrshire Club." Jessie Currie or Kinnieburgb, Trongate, was convicted of having, on Sunday the 15th of Marah last, sold spirits without being in possession of a license, and fined in the sum of 7. Two policemen in plain clothes entered into conversation with a member' of the Ayrshire" at the head of Maxwell Street, and asked him to try and procure thorn some liquor. They adjourned to the Club and procured a supply of spirits and ale, whioh the policemon paid to Mrs. Kinnieburgh through the member and the servant girl. Shebebn.

(From the Daily Nows.) What the Duke of Wellington and East Retford were to the Reform Bill of 1831-2, Lord Palmerston and Mr. Locke King's County Franchise appear destined to be to the Reform Bill of 1857-8. It will be curious if, as Lord Palmerston's admirers seem to expect, ha shall prove to be both the Duke of Wellington and tho Earl Grey of the new Reform movement. Be that as it may, of this thero can be no doubt, that the tiui8 has arrived when farther alterations and improvements in our electoral system can no longer be postponed. Outside of Parliament the demand for Parliamentary Reform is all but universal; and insido of Parliament no.

one evinces any inclination to resist the demand. Who is to be the statesman who is to embody in an acceptable measure tho general desire is not so apparent but provided the measure be a good one, it is the Sonor "le nat'n 1ualTel on "count of ti'i'i ie ao.oePt!lo, the new Reform Bill must be a reality. 1 he all but universal demand for Parliamentary Reform is not If Pl7nl of change, merely for the sake tl 1 8 oonso(luence of a deep-rooted conviction that the House of Commons, as at present constituted, is not a exponent of the national will This is owing to various causes. In the first place, the Reform Act of KxcE from all participation the franchise almost the whole of those classes whose only or principal property is their industry. Now as these classes constitute a numerical majority of the nonula tion, this is obviously a dangerous state of affairs.

All who are denied the power of exercising a legitimate influence over the composition of the legislative body naturally betake themselves to undue means of influence. This must be in an espeoial manner the case with our industrial classes, for they have a natural taste for political discussion, and the rapid progress which education has of late years made among them has taught them both to judge shrewdly of the mode in which public business is managed, and to feel how deep is their interest in its being properly managed. But more than this, their observation cannot have failed to reveal to them, that the politically powerful classes are anxious to conciliate their good opinion. They hear measures attacked and defended solely on allegations that they will or will not be palateable to the working classes. They hear grave statesmen oppose vote by ballot, on the ground that the electors are merely trustees for the non-electors, and that consequently the latter are entitled to know how their trustees vote.

The working classes say to themselves If we are competent to control the exercise of tho franchise by others, surely we are competent to exercise it ourselves." They say moreover, If the politically powerful classes are so anxious to conciliate us, it must be because they feel that we too possess a power of some kind it is only necessary for us to exercise that power in order to obtain what we so much covet participation in the electoral franchise." These are the views and feelings of the unenfranchised classes and it is clear that not a few, inside of the electoral pale, sympathise with these views and feelings. The time has come, therefore, when a wide extension of the franchise can no longer bo resisted. To concede it is merely yielding to necessity. But to yield will be productive of advantage to all. In seeking to conciliate the unenfranchised classes men of the politically powerful class sometimes act under sad, or ludicrous, misapprehensions of their wishes.

Witness Lord Robert Grosvenor's Sunday Trading Bill In bringing forward that measure the Noble Lord conscientiously believed that he was doing something that would be vastly acceptable to tho working classes. The Hyde Park disturbances were the fruits of his mistake. There will be no room for such misapprehensions when a considerable number of the working classes are admitted to the exercise of the franchise. Again, the existing qualification forvoters, excluding as it does almost all the labouring classes, forms them into a caste inspired with a spirit of antagonism to those who possess the franchise, The infinitely various links which bind man toman in society prevent the existence of hostile castes whenever artificial institutions do not thwart the working of this law of nature. Left to the operation of its natural laws, society would be composed of various groups, each embracing both rich and poor.

But our existing electoral qualification goes far to merge partment. At JNicolaiett, now tne most vaiuaDia-or an mu this process is proceeding most rapidly. Paris, April 6.

Accounts from the manufacturing distcicts are not so favourable as could be wished. Sales of both silk and cotton goods limited. Raw cotton very high in Alsace and Normandy, but raw silk had fallen considerably at Lyons, notwithstanding the fears of another bad crop.

Corn continues to decline in Paris and throughout France, and sales difficult. Accounts of the grjitf ing'orops most favourable.

This movement was not generally known until after business hours, when it caused Consols to be sold at a further deoline. It is, however, precisely, similar in character to that adopted at the approach of the dividend payments in January last. The step might, therefore, have been anticipated. The last price of Consols was 92J, sellers. The payments of the dividends on the stocks lately shut will commence on Wednesday the 8th.

The demand on the discount market is still active, and at the Bank the applications are believed to be numerous, and of a character to indicate that there is no general expectation of an early return to an easier condition.

Yesterday, at ono o'clock, the official announcement of the result of the poll for the comity of Lanark was made to a numerous assemblage of the eleotors by Sheriff Sir Archibald Ali9on.

Sir Edward Colehrooke returned thanks for the honour conferred upon him by the great constituency which he was called upon to represent in the next Parliament and, having dwelt upon the importance of the trust reposed in him, and the responsibility that consequently devolved upon mm, he concluded his address (in the course of which he was visibly much ancctod) by stating that ho went into Parliament as the partisan of no party, but merely as the representative of Lanark, and that so soon as the confidence of his constituency deserted him he would retire into private life.

Such a result, however, would not, ho trusted, ever arise from the course of conduct ho would pursue in the House. The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to Sheriff Alison. DUNOON INNKEEPERS' CASES. George Acinew, Spirit Merchant, Glasgow, against Donald Cameron, Innkeeper, Dunoon and Robert MacIsaac, Spirit Merchant, Glasgow, against Andrew Cathid, Innkeeper, Dunoon. It will be recollected that these cases involved the principle of whether travellers by the Emperor steamer from Glasgow on Sunday were lonafide travellers in the aenso of the Forbes Mackenzie Act.

Sheriff Maclaurin, and, upon appeal, Sheriff Cleghoro, found that travellers by the Emperor on Sunday were lonafide travellers, and entitled to admission and entertainment in the defenders' inns on that day. Sheriff Cleghorn, however, appointed the ease to be enrolled at his sittings at Inveraray, which were held last week, so as the parties might be heard on the question of damages. Mr. Chas. Buchanan, writer, Inveraray, appeared for the pursuers, and stated that the pursuers by no means wished to obtain vindictive damages against the defenders; but as the refusal to admit the pursuers into their respective inns was a gross violation on tho part of the defenders of the terms of their certificates, and also a violation of the common law ho therefore submitted to his Lordship that nominal damages should he awarded, to serve as a warning to inukeopers in future.

Mr. Q. At. Wbiqht, writer, Inveraray, appeared for the defenders, and stated that, in tho circumstances of the case, and after his Lordship's decision on the merits, he was afraid that he could not oppose the motion for nominal damages, but hoped his Lordship would make them as small a3 possible, as the defenders wonld be found liable in costs. Tho Sheriff accordingly made avizandum, and thereafter issued the following interlocutor Inveraray, 3d April, 1857.

The Sheriff having heard parties' procurators, who deolined to lead proof, and left it to the Sheriff to fix the quantum of damage upon the statements on record, and having further considered the whole process, assesses the damages (in each case) at for which sum decerns against the defender. Finds the defenders liable in expenses, of which appoints an account to bo given in, and remits the same, when lodged, to the auditor, to tax and report, and decerns. (Signed) Thomab CLEGnoRN." ATH INgT MACHIN ES. To the Editor of the Glasgow Herald. Sin, Observing the discussion in the Council here last week in relation to Mr.

Martin's useful motion as to skating ponds and baths, I beg to hand you copy of a letter and relative plans, which I sent to a prominent member of the Green Committee some months ago, receipt of which that gentleman has not had the courtesy to acknowledge. I will feel obliged by your inserting it in the Herald, for, how that public attention is drawn to the subject, it is to be hoped something practical will now bo the result. I am, Sir, your obedt. Titos. Smith.

Groat Clyde Street, Glasgow, 6th April, 1857. Sir, As you are the only member of the City Counoil who appears to take an active part in adorning the public Green, and also as I am well aware that you take a lively interest in all sanitary matters that have a bearing in any way in improving the habits and health of the community, I therefore take liberty of addressing to you the following romarks I have long been of opinion that our oivio authorities should endeavour, impossible, to put a stop to public bathing in that portion of the river Clyde which extends from Hutcnesons' to Ruthirglcn Bridges, for the following reasons In the first placo, I feel assured you will admit that it is not one of the most edifying of sights to well-disposed persons, especially to those of the female sex, to see in a nude state numbers of men and youths of various ages jumping off springboards, and going through in the water various indelicate evolutions. Such conduct must, of course, prevent rospeotable people of either sex from taking a walk near the banks of the river. In the next place and whioh, in my humble opinion, is of much more importance than even the first, viz. there is scarcely a summer passes wherein there is not one or more bathers drowned in that portion of the river I have indicated and many a time have I seen mothers, sisters, in the greatest anguish, wringing their hands, and displaying other tokens of grief for some fond son or brother who had been taken into the Humane Society's House to restore animation often in vain, generally owing to the distance and time that had taken place before tho body reached it.

Being impressed with these circumstances, and believing also (while holding the foregoing; opinions) that some plan could be devised to allow bathing in the river, at same time prevent tho unseemly behaviour in the one ease, and also save many valuablo livos in the other, I some time since had the sketch (herewith sent) drawn bv one of our best artists, as a GRAND DEMONSTRATION AT CAMPSIE, IN HONOUR Of ROBERT DALGLISH, M.P. (Communicated.) The "ood folks of Oampsie have awakened to find themselves famoUBf They think themselves especially honoured in the faot that Mr. Dalglish, their talented and much esteemed employer, has been elected M.P. for the great city pf Glasgow. We are bold to say that Mr.

Dalglish will be popular wherever he is known, and the more popular the better he is known his manner and abilities are a security for that. With tho inhabitants of Campsie, however, he is an espeoial favourite, and deservedly so. He is by far the most spirited gentleman of our neighbourhood. His extensive and long established printwork is the chief support of the village. His character, moreover, is here well known better known, perhaps, than anywhere else so that the esteem in which he is held is founded on personal knowledge, and is, therefore, thoroughly genuine.

His residence in Campsie for the greater part of his life, and his occasional visits to the works of later years, have afforded ample means of estimating Mr. Dalglish's worth, and this has beon honestly done. The employed esteem him as an upright and honourable master; as an employer, indeed, who not only values the services, but aUo tho elevation and welfare of his workers. The inhabitants generally rejoice to acknowledge him as a warm friend and liberal patron of education almost all their institutions being indebted to bis annual subscription for their support. Tho poor bless his ever ready hand, in ministering to their necessities.

And the learnod, from personal intimacy, rogard him as one of the most intellectual of the merchant princes whose city he is now chosen to represent. Mr. Dalglish's nomination was, consequently, productive of no small sonsation amongst the Campsonians, and the exoite-ment of Tuesday, the day of election, is perhaps indesoribable. Banners were waving from the most prominent positions of the works, and throughout the village. Couriers riding post-haste, added fuel to the exoitement by every fresh intelligence.

Campsie, indeed, soemed privileged to run mad for one day at least. For want of tho real hero, they made one laid hold of the worthy who brought the news of the final result, and carried him shoulder high from the railway terminus to the centre of the works. Indeed, nothing half so notable or so locally important had occurred to them since Campsie could boast of an existence, and they were not to be satisfied with a few eohoing hurrahs. It is true they had illuminated the village with torch lights, and paraded the streets with a band of music but that was not onough for so memorable an occasion, they determined to celebrate the triumph of him whom they delighted to honour by a lonafide demonstration and demonstrate they did. Favoured by Mr.

Wilson, the enterprising manager of the works, Saturday last was granted to the workers as a holiday. And the workers, in conformity with Mr. Dalglish's accustomed liberality, not enly received pay for the holiday, but an extra day's wages as the wherewithal to enjoy themselves. Information having arrived to the effect that Mr. Dalglish would be present to grace the proceedings, preparations were accordingly made to receive him.

A triumphal arch was errccted at the centre of the village, and another at the entrance to tho works. The workers en masse, male and female, with the other principal inhabitants, arrayed in their best, assembled on the Green, a gift of Mr. Dalglish's to the villagers. The sight was indeed imposing. Two bands of music belonging to the village were in attendance.

Twenty-five banners floated merrily in the breeze, inscribed with a variety of appropriate mottoes, such as Wisdom to govern and power to uphold "Robert Dalglish, M.P. the man of tho Hurrah for St. Stephou's and fee. The procession being duly formed, the workers, four deep, ranged under their respective departments, and joined by the most influential gentlemen of the place, proceeded to defile from the public park. With bands playingand banners proceeded through the village.

The procession marched about a mile beyond the village, at whioh place they met Mr. Dalglish. Here he was received with tremendous cheering, waving of hats and handkerchiefs, and shouts of The man of the people." Deploying on each side, that Mr. Dalglish's carriage might proceed to the centre of the line of procession, they closed in and returned. This order they retained until they reached the village, when Mr.

Dalglish, evidently as a mark of respect, left his carriage and joined the procession on foot. They then, amidst the heartiest congratulations, marched through the village until they reached the public park. A platform was here ereoted, to which Mr. Dalglish was accompanied by a number of the influential gentlemen of the village, tho foremen of the works, and committee of management When duly assembled on the platform, the hand played A man's a man for a' that." Mr. Wilson, manager of the works, being called to the ehair, said Ladies and Gentlemon, I look upon this as the proudest day of my lifo.

(Cheers.) It is indeed a great day for the workers of Lennoxmill, and will be long remembered by you all. I well know that your desire to celebrate this triumph of our employer is spontaneous, and rests on the esteem in which he is held by you. (Great cheering.) It is unnecessary for me at present to reitorate all that lias taken place since Mr. Dalglish came before the public of Glasgow as a candidate for their 'representation in Parliament. Suffice it to say that Mr.

Dalglish had but to come forward, to let himself be known, to tell the electors of Glasgow what lie could do, and what lie would do, in order to carry his election in triumph. (Immense cheering.) It would have gladdened your hearts, my friends, had you seen, as I saw, the enthusiasm manifested on the day of the polling, when the result was made known to the thousands assembled in front of the Merchants' Hall. (Hear, hoar.) And I can assure you that I was greatly pleased on reaching home tho following morning to find the enthusiasm equally great here. The bearer of the welcome news had been carried by you shoulder high -an emphatic expression of your sentiments. (Great cheering.) was -gratified, moreover; to behold the works all decorated with banners, as it was a plain indication to me of the intensity of your feelings.

(Cheers.) Above all, however, it gives me the greatest pleasure to state that an ad-dross, written by a committee of the workers, embodying their feelings towards Mr. Dalglish, will now be read and I request that you will all keep as quiet as possible, in order that it may bo distinctly heard by every one present. (Applause.) I have therefore muoh pleasure in introducing to your notice Mr. Thos. Young, who will now read the address.

Robert Dalglish, M.P. Honoured and Respected Sir, We, your workers at Lennoxmill, and inhabitants of Campsie, beg respectfully to present you with our hearty congratulations on your election by the citizens of Glasgow to the highly honourable position of one of their representatives in Parliament. We have not only been deeply interested spectators of the public events whioh have issued in your election, but have especially rejoiced in the honour conferred on you because of the large place you occupy in our hearts. We have many and weighty reasons for rejoicing in your joy. Many of our fathers lived and died in connection with tho firm of whioh you are now the head not a few now present have grown grey in its service, and the majority of lis have beon in your employment from our youth up.

Many still remember the time when your venerated father went in and out amongst us, ministering sympathy, comfort, and aid, with a Christian heart and an open hand, to those struggling with the ills of life. It has been with no ordinary satis all the proprietary classes into one group, and all the non-proprietary classes into another. By breaking up this purely artificial arrangement the harmony and stability of society would be materially augmented Again, we cannot prevent tua. unenfranchised classes from taking a keen interest in nublic. affairs, and energetically expressing their sentiments regarding (From the London Journals of Yesterday Morning.) THE GENERAL ELECTION.

(From the Times.) On what has the General Election turned On this point the political critics, always ingenious, and always hard to be pleased, have supplied us with an abundance of negatives. The election has not turned on the support of Government, still less, we are assured, on attachment to Lord Palmerston. It has not turned on Liberalism or any other ism. The very last thing it has turned upon, or could possibly turn upon, we are now told, is the Chinese war. It is absolutely inconceivable, we read as we write, that a single rational vote can have been affected by any opinion about Yell or Bowring, and no ono but a knave or a fool would suggest such a far-fetched idea.

Well; what if we should grant all tin's and more? What if we should admit that the electitn, like the decisions of most individual minds, has not turned on ny one point, or any consideration that the miud is quite conscious of It is rarely that a man knows all his own reasons much less can anybody else know them for him. So let us give up all this bard reasoning upon electoral figures. We will not taunt our old antagonists with any evident moral which they must bo very blind, indeed, not to see in the result. Let us suppose the General Election to have been a spontaneous, instinctive, almost unconscious act an act of that natural character that we ascribe to the old English peasant, or the old English yeoman, or the old English gentleman, or any example of fine moral vegetation. Indeed, why should we object to this view of the case, which we honestly believe to haTe a great deal of truth in it VVe never stood up for the logical consistency of the British people; their.

nature is too mixed, their sympathies too various, their interests too multifarious, for that. What we do maintain, and have always maintained, is the soundness of their SHERIFF CRIMINAL COURT. Yesterday the following cases were disposed of before Sheriff Smith and a jury Elizabeth M' Qregor and Hannali Dnffie were accused of the theft of a silver watob, from the person of Edward Norval, blacksmith, while in Hope Street. After trial, M'Gregor was cbnvictod and sentenced to six months' imprisonment. The charge against Duffie was found not proven.

Alexander M'Pherson, and James Orr, tavern keeper, Clyde Place, Tradeston, were accused of having, on Saturday the 10th of January last, stolen 12 bolls of wheat from Shed No. 22, south side of the harbour, the property of Henry Taylor -Sons, corn merchants, Hope Street.

Orr, who was out on bail, was ugitated for non-appearance. The charge against M'Pherson went to trial, which resulted thejury returning a verdiot of guilty. He was sent to prison for ten months. as our readers will recollect, was assistant-weigher at the she'd in question, and in conjunction with Orr, who appears to have been the ringleader in the theft, he delivered -the wheat to a carter, whom Orr had hired to cart it.to the Partiok Mills. Orr was apprehended at the time, but afterwards liberated on a bail, bond of 30, but a second ebarga of a more aggravated character transpiring, two sheriff officers were sent to apprehend him, but they did not seem to be in a hurry in making a capture, and Orr very quietly escaped by a back window.

William Marlow, Michard Donaghay, and George Gallaoher, were accused of having, on Thursday the 12th of February, Btolen a purse containing 5, from the person of Peter Kelly, labourer, while in a close in High Street, and farther with having at the same time stolen a five franc piece and 7s. 6d in silver money, while in the house of George Higgins, a French polisher, High Street. After trial thejury returned a verdict finding the prisoaers not guilty of the first oharge, and the second charge not proven. Jane Smith, was accused of having, on Friday the 20th of February, stolen a tartan handkerchief from the shop door of Thomas Struthers, draper, Gallowgate. After trial she was convicted and sent to prison for nine months.

tliem. ii mey possesseu ine iranciiise iney wouia express weir sentiments by voting as it is, they are bnt too apt to express them after the disgraceful and disagreeable fashion that they did the other day at Kidderminster. We have been discussing hitherto a modification of our elec; toral system, rondered necessary by an omission of the Reform Act of 1832. But there are modifications also which havo been rendered necessary by perversions of the principle of that Act. Some of these perversions date from tho framing of the Act others have been superinduced upon it.

The varying qualifications in county and borough constituencies exclude from the exercise of the franchise in the former many who would enjoy it if they belonged to tho latter. Again, the imperfect definition of the qualification excludes in all urban constituencies large numbers of the very class upon whom the franchise was intended to bs bestowed. The proportion of that educated, moderately affluent class, to which the 10 franchise was expected to give the right of voting, which is excluded by legal quibbles and cavils, is very large. Hereby a most important and valuable element of public opinion is denied its due influence over the composition of the legislative body. An adequate Reform Bill wilt, therefore, not only have to meet the case of those who were intentionally excluded by the Reform Act of 1832, but also the case of that numerous and intelligent class who have been unintentionally excluded.

We have said that the new Reform Bill, to be of anr value, must be a reality must appease a natural craving of the public mind. It was this that insured the success of the bill of 1832. That measure satisfied the then existing want. How then is the now existing want to bo satisfied?

But, to humour our critics as far as we possibly can consistently with truth, we will take the most negative view of the Election. Let it prove nothing for Government, for the press, or for the hustings. We will readily grant that it has gone not so much upon names, or questions, or party cries, though theso may have told in some cases, as upon the existing natural feelings of the country, irrespective of the topics of the day.

But in this election it is not so. There has been just enough of a pretence to withdraw the nublic attention from other questions of all kinds, just as you are more likely to see a picture of British charaoter at a fair, or a.ooac race, ur a sucui. puiiuiuuuiue, uuuiat.a place of worsnip or a leciure-room. len aim jjowruig nave hpp.n ns imimnortant in the business as Dido, or Rebecca, or the Queen of Sheba in Claude's pictures they give a name and ttiey US tne aate UI inc uuuil, uui mat is an. gumo gciibiuuiou whn rn for ever talkina or writing awiinst us, and always using the hardest words, of course in the purest charity, must admit that we are quite taking the bread out of their mouths, and that this is precisely their own line about this election in answer to a certain stiff, logical character, which, as they sup-nose, we have tried to force upon it.

But when the election is river bathing establishment, to show what might be dono to remedy tho evil. The drawing is something similar to what I have formerly seon and bathed in on the Seine, at Paris, where thero are great numbers of them, all apparently well patronised. However, as the dosign did not guile pleaBe me, I laid it aside, therefore made no public use of it. When in tho Athennum News Rooms lately, I saw in No. 666 of the Builder a new design of a circular swimming bath that was ereoted last summer at Banbury, in England.

I was so much pleased with the form, of it, that I sent to London for a copy, which I also beg to send you. A bathing establishment such as this, but larger, is juBt what is required for such a city as Glasgow, and if erected, would prevent the indecenoy and the many fatal casualties I have so feebly endeavoured to describe. The baths oould be so placed, say in the southern angle of the Fleshers' Haugh, and in such a position, that, instead of a blomisb, any way detrimental to the amenity of the Green, it might be made to form a thing of beauty and a joy for ever' to bathers, as well as to those who only wished to take a quiet stroll on the banks of the river. "If the foregoing useful project meets with your approval, there would then be little or no fear of it not receiving, on its own merits, a favourable consideration from your colleagues in the Council. Should their verdict be in favour of the project, it would take comparatively little money, and not muoh time, to put it in operation, as in tho situation mentioned maohmery of any kind would be of no use whatever, as the baths would fill and empty themselves by gravitation.

When complete, I have no doubt they could be made to yield a handsome revonue to the funds of the city, at a small charge, say ono penny (or two-ponce with towels) in the outer cirole for adults, the inner one for boys, froe, so as to keep them from canals and other dangerous places. At present there is little use in going into details, as I have enterod further into tho snbjoct than 1 at first intended, consequently must have taken up your valuable time. However, my excuse is, I oould not say less on the subject, as I feel its deep importance to the whole community. In tho meantime 1 remain, dear Sir, yours most Tiioa.

unpolitical, unbiassed, unreflecting, altogether unsophiatical utterance of the people, what are we to say of the returns of the county constituencies? If the view of the election which we readily adopt from our opponents, and have, indeed, anticipated them in forming, applies to the whole, it applies more especially to those indigenous bodies, those patriarchal cotn-TniniH. trip nnnntv electors. The county changes, too, if not faction and joy to us all to Denoin you nouiy warning am steps, succouring the aged in his poverty, promoting the education of our children, and liberally aiding to sustain our public institutions. Wo are all of us proud of our connection with your far famed and prosperous firm, and it cannot be wondered that we should. In the memory of many still living, Lennoxmill was but a small work now it is second to none in the kingdom.

Owing to the ability and energy with which you have conducted your business, in times of commercial embarrassment and failure which have pressed heavily on others, have passed lightly over us we have had constant employment, and been enabled to pass through seasons of trial with comparative comfort. Remembering our many obligations to you, and entertaining a high esteem for you as a master and a man, it was with lively satisfaction that we heard of your advancement to the highest honour the citizens of Glasgow could bestow. The business qualifications which you possess in no ordinary degree, combined with the indomitable energy of your character, will enable you, we feel assured, to maintain your position in St. Stephen's with credit to yourself and advantage to your constituents. We know that you have a deep sympathy with the wants and feelings of working men that you will use all your influence for the furtherance of needful reforms that ali corrupt practices in the management of public affairs will meet with your steady opposition and therefore we are persuaded that the citizens of Glasgow and tho poople gonerally will iiud you true to their interests in your place in Parliament.

In conclusion, Sir, we beg to renew our warmest congratulations on your advancement to well-merited honours to express our most fervent good wishes that you may be long blessed by a kind Providence in all the private relations of life, and made increasingly useful and successful in all your endeavours for the public good as a British senator." The address was then presented to Mr. Dalglish in due form. Mr. Dalqmsh came forward, amidst immense cheering, and said Mr. Chairman, Ladies, and Gentlemen It affords me much pleasure indeed to meet with you on the present occasion.

(Cheers.) I have addressed many and more numerously attended meetings than this, these few weeks baok most enthu-iastic meetings too but I assure you I have not felt so proud of any of them as I do of this. (Great cheering.) I know that your enthusiasm proceeds from a lovs to myself. (Renewed oheering.) I have always had a great regard for my workers, and rejoiced in their comfort and well-being. I see before me well-known faces, and no doubt many of you remember the little bickerings ws sometims had, when Iwasvnore frequently amongst you. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Perhaps you might think ine a little harsh on those oocasions, but it was all for your good, and I am sure you think so now.

(Great cheering.) My temperance friends in Glasgow have aocused me of being a friend to intemperance (hear, bear) you who are now berore me could tell them whether I am or not (cries of We could," and cheers) you know from personal observation that I al ways dealt most severely with intemperance. 1 have, indeed, largely reclaimed Lennoxmill from the resemblance it bore to other tuu msnnnt. and now I car. boast of it as one of tho the Bill of 1832to be enfranchised Merely lowering the qualification will not bo sufficient. The qualification must be simplified.

The power must not be loft to partisan registration committees aided by sharp lawyers to exclude their political opponents from the register upon mere technical objections. Diversity of qualification must be eschewed as tending to enhance the expense and uncertainty of registration. It is alleged that a diversity of qualifications enables all classes to be admitted but this end will be attained more surely by fixing upon one simple, intelligible, equitable qualification. To fix upon this qualification to let in one class, and that qualification to let in another, is to-act like the great philosopher who, having cut a large hole at the bottom of his study-door to let in the cat, cut a smaller to let in the kitten. To be real to be satisfactory to have any chance of passing and allaying the popular excitement, the New Reform Bill must be characterised by simplicity as well as comprehensiveness, in so far as the qualification is concerned.

STATE OF MATTERS IN NAPLES. The following is from a letter in the Corriere Mercantile of Genoa, dated Naples, March 26 The reaction goes on, and new tortures continue to be inflicted, but the public spirit bends like steel under the pressure, and recovers itself with the same elasticity. The King was passing tho other day along the road from San Luoia to Caserta, when a priest who stood in the way offered to salute him, and for that purpose hastily took off his cloak. The King, who fancied he saw another Angesilas Blilano in clerical cassock, was frightened by the quick gesture. The attendant janissaries instantly-rushed upon the priest, and beat him till they left him on the-ground half dead he had nothing in his pocket but a snuff-box, a handkerchief, and six sous.

The ordinary diet of persona confined in the prisons is merely bread and water. They are punished sometimes by tearing out their nails in other instances they are forcibly held in a bent position, or boiling oil is applied to their flesh. These tortures are executed undor the superintendence of Filippo d'Antoni, but their' inventor is the famous De Spagnolis. D'Antoni commenced the profession of executioner at Milan, and has been promoted by the King of Naples to the office of first-class inspector for his great efficiency and skill. He will probably attain yet higher rank." THE COLLIERY EXPLOSION AT LUNDHI'LL.

(From the Morning Post.) Up to Sunday last the water had been reduced about 23 feet, leaving about 37 feet yet to be got out before reaching the workings. It was generally expected that the pit would have been emptied in a much shorter time, three weeks being the limits given for that purpose from the time of the commencement of operations. To those, however, acquainted with the intricacies of coal mines, no disappointment will be felt, as it is almost impossible to say what obstructions will ha met with as the work proceeds. It will be probably recollected by some that a few years ago) an almost parallel calamity occurred at Newcastle-on-Tynej when 85 men were killed. In that case the pit was filled with water, and after the' water had been all drawn out it took five weeks to recover the whole of the bodies.

It is thought that the finding of the bodies at Lundhili after the water has been, drawn out will occupy about the same time. It is not a little singular that the heat of the water in the cupola shaft still ranges from 63 to 66 being considerably above the natural heat. The decrease of water in the shaft'is shortly expected to be more rapid. At present it is said the accumulation of gas forces the water back so that it may be said to be kept up at its' present height by artificial moans so that when once' the gas becomes dislodged, the fall.is expected to be very rapid. Many mournful scenes are still witnessed, and every train brings down 'some' of the' relatives or friends of the deceased, all anxious to hear if any bodies have been met with, as well as to know when it bo expected the pit will admit of parties going down for them.

To avoid accidents, as well as scenes of a painful, character, while the sad duty of bringing up the bodies is being, performed, a temporary shed has been erected on the side, of the tramway, about 400 yards from the pit. As the bodies are recovered they will be conveyed to the shed on trucks previous, to their identification (where that is possible) and burial. The proprietors have been unremitting in tlieir endeavours to comfort the sufferers, having, besides contributing 500 to the genoral fund, personally distributed upwards of 500 amongst the families. This is more worthy of notice when it is taken into consideration that, besides the immense loss caused by the non-working of the pit, there is a large daily expenditure in carry iug out the present operations. Ueir loss must therefore already amount to.a very considerable sum.

The subiect of the formation of a permanent fund and institution for tlie sufferers by accidents in coal minos is resolving itself into a tangible shape, and it is gratifying to find that the initiative in. the matter has been, taken by the colliers themselves. A meeting of colliers is announced to take place at Elseca'r, for the purpose of taking steps for the formation of a fund of this character, and there is every reason to believe that other meetings will follow for die same object. In no place, however, could the work be better commenced than in Elsecav where every assistance for so praiseworthy an object will doubtless be rendered by Earl Fitzwilliam, whoso extensive collieries are in this district, and whose exertions to promote the social and mora! condition of the great number of colliers cai-poye4 by him see well kuuwu throughout the districts so numerous, are even more remarkable than those for the boroughs. Here, then, is the qnestion in a very simple form: How is it that, not to speak of the boroughs, even the simple folk of the counties, caring nothing about China and not muoh for Palmerston, have nevertheless ousted more than 20 members hitherto classed as Conservatives Some of the counties, indeed, are by no means purely agricultural but they were agricultural enough to return "Protectionist" members before, and have not returned them now, West Kent, we see to day, BIRTHS.

That controversy, that cry of Protection" that has been worked with so much success for nearly twenty years, has altogether gone out. Not a word has been said about it since the dissolution.

The men who had been trading upon popular ignorance and selfishness for these twenty years, who undertook to secure Protection, and who declared it to be necessary to agricultural success, as well as to tho welfare of the country, have been convicted at every turn. They could not secure Protection, and it has been found not only unnecessary, but even injurious. The country thrives better without it; the farmer, the labourer, and the landlord the producer and the consumer the agriculturist, the manufacturer, and the merchant, all have thriven far more since the day that was to ruin all of them than they had ever done before. This bubble then is burst. Protection is exploded from Parliament and from the hustings.

The farmers have been released from their delusion, 'and, not finding in the present state of public affairs any question to divide them, have fallen back on their old selves. They are what they were thirty years ago. Then they were some Torys, some Whigs, some had Tory landlords, some had Whig landlords old natural differences, made by birth, by education, by locality or connection.

Amongst these causes the Times alludes to the crowded cattle sheds and to insure proper ventilation and cleanliness there, I recommend 1st, That every shed should at once be properly washed with a solution of chlorinated lime, or other disinfectant. 2d, That one or more of Watson's ventilators be fixed in the roof of each byre, unless other equally appropriate and less ox-pensive method may be adopted. 3d, That every shed should be swept out daily no filth allowed to accumulate within doors and half a pound of M'Dougall's Patent Disinfecting Powder he dusted with a common dredger over the lower end of each stall, and then fresh litter be laid down. I strongly recommend M'Dougall's Powder from personal experience.

It absorbs the gases that smell and poison, besides adding immensely to the value of the manure, for not only is its amount of phosphoric acid increased, but careful analysis shows that while ordinary stable manure contains only 0.66 per cent, of ammonia, that treated with the powder contains as much as 1.34 per cent. 4th, Although the complete admixture of the Disinfecting Powder and the manure renders the latter comparatively harmless, nevertheless it should be carted away more often than it is. 1 have suggested that in Edinburgh it should be removed thrice instead of once a week. 5th, The cows should bo daily brushed and cleaned washing, if judiciously managed, would bo the preferable plan. 6th, It should be ascertained as promptly as possible how many dairies there are in Glasgow, and how many cows there are in each, for very obvious and numerous reasons.

The mode of enforcing tho above remains for legislators to decide. Much may be done with oominon policemen, if made to act according to proper instructions. I am.

It is the same in Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire, Hero then is the true character of this election. In the absence of any Very torturing controversy, or any constraining motive, the British people have gone back to what they were some thirty years ago, and the result has been disastrous to 8,11 the three sections that have lived on the recent controversy Protectionists, Peelites, and Leaguers have alike disappeared from the scene. They have done their work, and all that was wanted was some trivial occasion for appealing to the people, without allowing the question of Free Trade to be dragged in either by one side or the other. Commissioner Yeh has answered this purpose, and the result is a Parliament which does not perhaps care much about Qhiaa, but which has wholly forgotten the Corn Laws,.
