POPISH INTOLERANCE FOREIGN THE COUNTY ELECTIONS. to the feelings of tho people of Leicestershire but, differ-i ng so much as I do from Chs noble marquis on the question of free trade, I cannot let some recant remarks of his pass by without some slight notice. In the House of Commons ou June the 14th, the noble marquis, no doubt in anticipation of the election, made a long election speech, citing various statistics to prove that Free Trade was producing the most baneful results. Now, the noble marquis and his elaborate statistics were not, I think, very successful in turning free trade facts into pure fictions.

Although the arguments were somewhat diffusive, they have not been very distinctive, and may very fairly be placed in the same category as that romantic invention, Captain Warner's long range, which they may be said to have equalled in precision, and somewhat exceeded ia distance, extending from the purlieus ofSpital fields to thehigblaad of Scotland. Now, with respect totheSpitalfields silk-weavers mentioned by the noble marquis as being iu a very depressed state, I think they hare not been in a very flourishing condition for a number of years. They suffered equally under Protection as they are now doing under Free to call the attention of the peonle nf thi nntrv to an iliustraiion of the intolerance and perse-CLn'of country which enjoys the advantage of -Uium ft d-c 'YSSl!

Jfe pbould like to know what the crafty priests of Home n(i Oxford bav to say to the case we will uow bring notice The cm hC we refer t0 18 that of Francesco Ma-j Rosa.

hii who: having had. by residence country, an opportunity of becoming acquainted the Bible, ventured in their own country to possess Ls0f the Scriptures, to read the same, and to avow Protest ants. We have been told that the Rome does not prevent her children from jessing tht Word of Cod. The palpabie falsehood I statement is evident in the case before us, as one brought against the Madiais was their Lgafiotl of the Hible commencement of the trial to which these Jpfflt were subjected, the husband, Francesco, was whether he liad been born in the bosom of the Hoi' M.other, the Roman Catholic Church, to which he replied. 'Ye, hut now I am a Christian according to 'Oe Crospet When asked who made trim such, and if here did not exist an act of abjuration among those with om he was ui.hed, he replied, My convictions have for man sear, but have acquired strength from Vstadv of the Word of God.

It has been a matter between' God and my own soul, but which was out-wlrdly manifested when I took the communion in the si Church." With equal boldness his wife, Rosa, stood forward as and. when challenged stated that she had ot changed her religion lightly, nor to please men, as, if tbit hi been her wish, she might have done this when it Enpland. where she had lived about sixteen years alter reading the Word of God, and contrasted it die Romish doctrines, she was convinced, and tiannp abandoned that Church, had made public con-jyti of faith hy partaking of the Lord's Supper, at a en the laws gave and protected religious liberty tbe citizens It appear- that the trial of these two Italian Protests lasted four days. Witnesses were examined, the defence WHS mad-, and there was a. summing up by the prosecutor.

When the Court, composed of five psabers. came to consult on the judgment, they were lei ia their opinion, two were for an acquittal, and a majority of ono for condemnation. It is i rtnj of special notice, that while the heretic prisoners ueoed to the sentence with the greatest firmness and the prHdent judges who read the sentence, trembled a if. like another Felix, his conscience smote mm for hi? guilt It will wry expressively show the thI state of feeling in Italy, if we notice the recorded id. that the public showed themselves to be indignant i the sentence and the judges, and displayed sympathy fin tin Madiais, although they were heretics.

And now let tbe people of Eneland observe the sentence which the priest-riuden government of Tuscany awards to the crime of reading the Bible, and following onl then convictions after doing so. Francesco Madiai sentenced to fifty-six mouths of hard labour at the alleys, and after that part of the seutencehas been endured, he is to be subject to three years of police sur-re'Iiance, and besides, he will not be able to recover his ireedom until he has paid all the costs of this disgraceful -rial His wife has some tender mercy shown her, the Christian consideration of the Holy Church. Her imprisonment takes place at the Vigastolo (the female galleys), and is to last only for forty-four months. Six is also to he subject to the surveillance of the priests ttiree years, and has no chance of recovering her iferty until she has paid, or some one has paid for her, the expenses of her trial. Morning Advertiser A Stste or -The iniquitous and solemn sbng (says Pans correspondent of the Morning I lUtnbu Advertiser), by which the Church of Rome retains its lioul upon the fevered imaginations of its besotted ots, was never more lamentably witnessed than in the folli ing tale, which is going the round of the French paper to-day Count Mornay, the son-in-law of the lm Soult, is just dead.

Listen, reader, to the following romance, which, unlike other romances, as an "ower true tale:" "It wat night, and a sister of charity was seated in a chamber of the hotel of the late Marshal Soult, Rue de TUniversite, by tbe bedside of omit de Mornay. on whom she was lavishing i rrv imaginable attention.

Wabwick. The election for this boroueh has resulted in the return of Messrs.

Repton and Greaves a circumstance so strange and unexpected as to demand particular explanation. That it is attributable to tbe preponderance of Tory opinions among the electors, do person capable of judging will venture to assert. Philosophers tell us that every effect must have a cause and doubtless the remark is applicable to the poll of Wednesday. The phenomenon to be accounted for is the return of two Tory candidates, by a constituency which has hitherto returned only olfS and which retains all its old attachment to the Liberal cause. We naturally turn for a solution of the difficulty thus presented, to the defeated candidate himself and to his most active supporters.

What is Mr. Mellor's accouut of the matter? He states; My excellent and zealous friends have been unceasing in their exertions but tbe vast influences arrayed against us have induced many to absent themselves from the town and from the poll whilst others, too confident in our strength, have given votes to one or other of my opponents, which, if reserved solely for me, would have decided the election iu my favour," The analysis of the poll confirms this account as to the distribution of votes. Mr. Mellor received 244 plumpers from consistent and earnest friends but 39 Liberals split their votes, and nearly an equal number, who bad promised him their undivided support, were altogether absent from the Poll Warwick Advertiser. Newport Election.

The Hampshire Advertiser, (Conservative paper) in allusion to tbe election at Newport, Isle of Wight, says, rampant Chartism has gained a temporary triumph. The reasons of such a result shall be given in our next." It also states, that the Biggs and party had assembled at the nomination a gang of "smock bearing banners and decorated with sky blue (tbe party colour). Dp to the eleventh hour the Chartist party held back, but then tbe whole force was brought to bear in favour of Biggs and Massey. From another part of the paper we extract the following: "The day-mail through Newport to Ventnor was stopped by Biggs and Massey's mob, on Thursday, the harness, pole, broken, and the horses taken off. Tbe mail was detained in Newport nearly half an hour." Nottingham.

Mr. Ball, sheriff of the borough, officially declared the state of the poll, on Thursday week, at three o'clock, when the numbers, after having been carefully calculated, were found to be as follows Strut 1,960 Walter Sturgeon 512 Derby. Great excitement prevailed in Derby on Thursday week, in consequence of the seizure of a briber on the Tory side, who was very cleverly captured in a dark room at an inn with a large sum of money before him. There was a regular door-keeper, and passwords were used. A letter was found upon the briber, which, it is stated, is likely to lead to important results.

A description of three other persons was obtained by the Liberals, but they were cot detected. The contest was a very severe one. Close of tbe poll Bass 1,352 Horsfall 1,025 Hey worth 1,018 Cambridge. The final state of the poll here was Macaulay 821 Astell 804 Adair 737 Mowatt 673 Carlisle. Tbe final result of the close of the poll on Thursday week was Sir J.

Graham 509 W. Ferguson 494 W. Hodgson 417 RocunALE. Tbe nomination for the borough of Rochdale took place at ten o'clock on Friday morning. After tbe usual formal proceedings had been gone through, Mr.

G. Ashwortb proposed, and Mr. J. Petrie seconded, the nomination of Mr. Fdward Miall, of Sydenham -park, editor of the Nonconformist.

Mr. A. H. Royds proposed, and Mr. J.

Scbofield seconded that of Sir Alexander Ramsay. The show of hands was at least three to one in favour of Mr. MiaM, nd a poll was demanded on behalf of Sir A. Ramsay. Next day Mr.

Miall was elected. Tivr.KTON. Lord Palmerston aud Mr. Heatheote were returned on Wednesday week without opposition. The noble Viscount returned thanks in a long and pleasant speech, full of amusing anecdote and illustration, in defence of his Parliamentary conduct and principles, especially of his course on the Militia Bill, and his opinion in favour of the Maynooth grant.

The Corn-law questiou called only for a brief reference "I took the liberty of telling you last autumn, when I had the pleasure of being here, that when you saw the river Exe running up from the sea to Tiverton, instead of running down from Tiverton to the sea, you might then, and not until then, consider certainly that the revival of protection was near at hand. I see uo change in tbe current of the Exe. I don't even see that in the construction of your bridges you have taken any precautions to secure them against a turn of the stream." After his speech, a Mr. Rowcliff cross-examined and rather pitched into" him but got a demolishing reply for his pains. Whether Mr.

Rowcliff is a Radical, a Chartist, or a Tory, 1 really cannot say. 1 believe that all parties may have some reason or other for claiming him. Mr. Rowc'iff says I ouly told yon of the good that Governments and Parliaments have done, and that I have myself done, and that I have not told you of the bad. Why, God bless me, it was quite unnecessary for me to do that when he was here.

If there was a bad thing to be recorded, to be invented, or be imagined, I am quite sure Mr. Rowcliff would be the first man to tell you of it. (Laughter, which was increased when Mr. Rowel iffe 'called out Question Well, Mr. Rowcliff is impatient under this castigation.

I will hit lower or higher, just as he plcnses but be must allow me to hit somewhere. Mr. Rowcliff has asked me what Government I mean to join. Now, that is a question that mst depend upon the future but 1 will tell hirn what Government I do not mean to join I can assure you and him that I never will join a Government called a Rowcliff Administration. (Great laughter and cheering.) Now, gentlemen, don't you imagine, because you deem it very absurd that there should be such an Administration, that my friend Mr.

Rowcliff is at all of that way of thinking; for I believe 1 am not mistaken in the opinion that he will cou-sider everything going wrong in this world, and iu this country, until the Rowcliff Administration shall govern the land. Mr. Rowcliff says 1 voted for the Militia Bill. As I have already explained to you, the material difference between the Militia Bill which I opposed, and the Militia Bill which I supported, was that the former was founded npon compulsory service as the rule, admitting voluutary service as the exception while the bill of the present Government, which 1 supported, was founded upon voluutary service as the rule, and admits of compulsory service as only the remote and contingent exception. The Militia now to be raised will be raised by bounty and, if 1 have any fault to find with the act, it is that 1 think the bounty is rather too high.

That, however, I presume, cau be no ground of objection to young men who may be disposed to enlist. My belief is that you will have no ballot, but that you will gain all your men from the spontaneous patriotism of the people, aided by the inducement of the bortuty. do not think so ill of the young men of England as to believe that they will be afraid of tweuty-one days' service during the year in the Militia. I commanded a regiment of Local Militia, which used to assemble for twenty-eight days' training, and I knew only one instance of a man who wished to go home before the twenty-eight days were over. He was one of the privates, who came to me, and said, My Lord, I wish you would let me go I replied, Why you have only a week to serve now 1 said he, the fact is, that before I corned here I promised a young woman in my parish that I'd marry her, if so be as I surwived the (Great laughter.) I replied Heaven forbid that the young woman should be disappointed.

Go homeand marry her, aud tell her the campaign has not been so dangerous as she may have thought I am convinced that the young men of England won't be afraid of three weeks' campaign in a Militia Regiment." The "five or six, or any other number of points" of the Charter, having been smartly disposed of, the meeting testified their admiration by three cheers for Lord Palmerston" as a newly-chosen member. The New Member fob Aberdeen. The Mr. George Thompson who has just been returned for Aberdeen, is not the Mr. George Thompson who was the late member for the Tower Hamlets.

Edinburgh. Mr. Macaulay has been still persecuted by petty election-piques, about his behaviour and tone of correspondence. Some persons have taken offence at the tone of his letter to Mr. Lyon, published last week.

Mr. Macaulay wrote to Mr Adam Black, chairman of his Committee, saying, "I despair of being able to use words which will not be distorted" and correcting the wilful misapprehensions to which he is exposed. I say that such a distinction is so rare that 1 lately thought it unattainable, aud that even now, I hardiy veutnre to expect that I shall attain it and I am told that I hold it cheap My language, naturally construed, was respectful nay, humble. My feelings towards the people of Edinburgh is the very opposite of unkind or contemptuous I give the best proof of my regard for them, by consenting to return to public life at their invitation, after repeatedly refusing to do so when invited on most honourable and liberal terms by others nor shall I cease to wish well to yonr fellow-citizens, or to think highly of their geueral character, even though they shonld be again estranged from mc by misrepresentation such as yon describe." City of Limerick Election. I have only to state (says a correspondent of the Morning Advertiser) that the occurrences of this day will never be forgotten.

Anything to eqnal the awful results are not upon record, and as time presses, I will merely mention that the 3rd Dragoons and Infantry were pelted with stones, aud severely injured by the female portion of the mob, which amounted to at least 20,000 persons favourable to the Roman Catholic candidates, Sergeant O'Brien and Mr. Potter. Five of the Dragoons were unhorsed, and two officers wounded in the face by missiles hurled at them. There are 13 persons under treatment at Barrington's Hospital, consequent upon the conflict. The Court was opened at half-past ten o'clock, when the candidates and their friends were admitted to the galleries.

To depict the scene would at this moment be impossible. Benches, bars, and seats were torn up by the mob in the Liberal interest, and hurled with tremeudous violence at Mr. Rus-sel aud his friends, several of whom were cut and wounded. A mau was flung from the gallery, and spiked on tbe rails beneath. Mr Russell was proposed by Mr.

William Howley, and seconded by Mr. Robert Roger. Sergeant O'Brien was proposed by Mr. Monsell, late M.P. for this country, and seconded by Rev.

John Beahan, P.P. St. Mary's. Mr. Potter was proposed by Counsellor Devitt, and seconded by Mr.

Richard Raleigh, tobacconist. Not one word could be beard from either proposers or seconders, and the candidates at either side were not allowed to speak a word. This evening the windows of every Roman Catholic in Limerick, who promised to support Mr. Rnssell, were shivered to atoms by the mob, and military aud police are in requisition in all quarters. North Lancashire.

The nominaton for the northern division of Lancashire took place in the Shire Hall, at the Castle of Lancaster, on Tuesday morning. Tbe prosjiect of a contest iu this jeH of the county acted 1- a chum of great ooreity, for, as there had not been a contest for tbe nortiern division since it was created in 1 832, nor for the whole county, of which it previously formed tbe more aristocratic portion, since 1725, great interest had naturally been excited, Mr. Thomas Weld Blnndell, the High Sheriff, opened the Conn in the usual form. Mr. T.

B. Crosse proposed Mr. Jobn Wilson Patten. Mr. William Garnett, of Olaernmore Park, seconded tbe nomination.

Mr. Thomas Batty Addison, of Prestoi, nominated Mr. James Hey wood. Mr. Richard Fort, of Rad Hall, one of the late candidates, seconded the nomination The High Sheriff declared the two late members duly elected.

Rutland. The election of two knights of tie shire to represent the county in Parliament took place at the Castle of Oakham on Tuesday, at eleven o'clock. Rumonrt of opposition to one of the late members were rife, and it wuj confidently reported on Monday that Mr Jobn Talbot of Catmore-lodge, near Oakham, would be put in nomination, bat no grounds for these rumours seem to have existed, and the late members (Sir Gilbert Heatheote and the Hou. Gerard J. Noel) were reelected without opposition.

Nottinghamshire (Sooth). The nomination took place at Newark on Tuesday, commencing at ten o'clock. The proceedings excited very little interest, and presented a marked contrast to the memorable contest which a short time since took place between Mr. Barrow and Lord Newark, who now came forward as allies in the same interest, and were returned without opposition, Derbyshire (South). Derby, Tuesday.

The nomination to-day was a quiet enough affair. Mr. F. Wright, of Osmaston Mauor, nominated Mr. Colville, and stated that few persons would be found at this time to dispute that the prosperity of the poorer classes was clearly traceable to those Free Trade principles which had been successfully adopted by the legiilature (cheers).

Mr. G. Moore, of Appleby-hall, seconded tbe nomination, declaring himself a firm s'ipporter of Free Trade, now that he had seen its beneficial effects upon the poor in villages as well as towns. Mr. Moore trusted that Mr.

Colvile would be found among those who were prepared to graut a wide extension of the suffrage, and keep page with the growing intelligence of the times (loud cheers). Sir 0. Moseley, nominated Mr. Mundy, and dwelt principally upon the Maynooth grant, which he strongly condemn Mr. J.

Radford, of Smalley, seconded Mr. Mnndy's nomination. vTbere being no opposition the High Sheriff declared Mr. Colville and Mr. Mnndy dnly elected, amid cheers.

Mr. Colville then addressed the electors. He was now prepared to declare that he was against a tax upon corn on principle, and that he would not supportany attempt to reimpose it (loud cheers). He declared himself for a reduction cf taxation, local as well as general, and trusted that a revision of our burdens would take place. He concluded by declaring that he would go to Parliament as an independent representative, with the sole intention of promoting the best interests of tbe country and the welfare of all classes of the people (load cheers.) Northamptonshire (South).

The electioa of two members to serve in Parliament for the southern division of Northamptonshire took place 00 Tuesday, in the Caunty Court of Northampton. The sheriff, Mr. Ingham Christie, presided. Tbe precept and Bribery Act having been read, Sir Henry Dryden eame forward and proposed their late member, Captain Vyse. (Cheers.) Mr.

R. T. Clarke seconded the Domination. The Hon. Frederick Villiers proposed Mr.

Rainald Knightley, the son of their late member. Mr. John Grant seconded the nomination. Mr. Smart, an upholsterer and inhabitant of the town, rose amidst great cheering and uproar, aud proposed Mr.

John Houghton, of Sunuinghill, Berkshire. The nomination was seconded by Mr. Collier, a shoemaker and inhabitant of Northampton. Captain Vyse aud Mr. R.

Knightley addressed the electors. Mr. Houghton was called for, but did not make his appearance, it being stated that he had been nominated without his kuowledge or consent. The show of hands was then declared to be in favour of Captain Vyse and Mr. Knightley, and a poll was demanded on behalf of Mr.

Houghton by Mr. Smart. The polling was fixed to commence yesterday (Friday). North Warwickshire. The nomination of candidates for the northern division of the coacty of Warwick took place ou Monday at Coleshill.

The High Sheriff, Sir John Chetwode, having disposed of the preliminary proceedings, Sir George Chetwynd proposed Charles N. Newdegate. Here the first row "came off," in which sticks, bludgeons, and fists were used without the slightest reserve. Mr. James Taylor seconded the nomination.

Then the second row took place, in which the reporters were the sufferers their table was smashed to pieces, some of their legs were nearly broken, hats and note books and pencils were flying abont, while a few enterprising lovers of liberty exhibited the "frankest" disposition to explore the watch pockets of the unhappy individuals whom they had thus overwhelmed. While this scene was being enacted Mr. Spooner was proposed by Lord John Scott, and tbe nomination was seconded by Mr. Wr. Hartopp.

Sir R. Peel proposed, and Mr. Parsons (a tenant farmer) seconded Mr. F. K.

Craven. Sir Geo. Skipwith was proposed by Mr. Kendal, and tbe nomination was seconded by Mr. B.

D. Webster. The candidates in succession addressed the assemblage, but tbe uproar was so intense that even the persons in their vicinity conld catch but a few disjointed sentences of their short speeches. Mr. Newdegate was understood to declare that he wonld not endeavour to force the government to pass any corn law, or any law that was opposed to the wishes of the people.

Mr. Spooner confined his observations to the simple assertion that he had done his duty, and would do it in future. Mr. Craven apologised for not having made a personal canvass of the electors, but he was unable to do so, because he did not know ntil Friday that the northern division of the county would be contested. For the best part of his life he had resided in the county, and his politics agreed with those of his family, which were well known.

If they should send him to Parliament he would endeavour to do his utmost for the country, and of course for that county in particular. He should iu the first place direct his attention to prevent the re-imposition of the corn-laws, or the reversal of the system of free-trade. The present government had said they had not abandoned protection, and therefore he should oppose the present government, but he wotdd gladly give his support to any Liberal government that came into power. Since the repeal of the corn-laws education had spread very much amongst the people, and therefore he thought that the parliamentary representation ought to be extended. Sir George Skipwith promised that if returned to Parliament he would do all he conld to promote the cause of the people.

His principles mainly agreed with those of the late government, but he was opposed to the present government, which had thought fit to dissolve Parliament without giving tbe electors aDy idea of the measures that were to be brought forward iu the next Parliament. The speaker next referred to the question of Church Reform, and was understood to say that any efficient measure introduced for the purpose shonld have his support. If he were returned to Parliament he should endeavour to promote the interests both of agriculturists aud manufacturers, and if by the revision of taxation they could render tbe former class any help, he should be glad to assist in such a movement. The Sheriff haviDg taken a show of hands, declared the result to be in favour of Mr. Craveu and Sir George Skipwith.

A poll was then demanded on the part of Messrs. Newdegate and Spooner, and of course granted. It should be observed that the show of hands was exceedingly unfavourable to the Protectionists while not more than thirty hands were raised in favour of their opponents. North Stafpobdshibe. Tbe nomination for the northern division of this county took place on Monday at Stafford, and terminated in the unopposed election of the old members.

The Hon. and Rev. A. C. Talbot nominated Mr.

Adderley. Mr. John Cruso seconded the nomination. Mr. J.

Bateman, of Biddulph, placed Mr. Smith Child in nomination. Mr. B. Levett seconded the nomination.

No other candidates having been proposed, the High Sheriff declared Mr. Adderley and Mr. Child duly elected. South Staffordshibe. The election for the southern division of this county took place on Tuesday at Lichfield.

The re-electioD of the Hou. General Anson and Lord Lewisham was unopposed. Until some time, however, after the nomination had commenced this was a matter of uncertainty Mr. Bass, M.P., Mr. Scholefield, M.P., and other influential gentlemen, being in Lichfield, deliberating on the subject of bringing forward a second Liberal, the Hon.

Arthur Wrottesley, eldest son of Lord Wrottesley. Mr. Cardwell and other gentlemen had been named. The friends of the Liberal cause thought it better to defer any opposition until another election, although the state of the register even now is such as to place the return of a second Liberal beyond the slightest doubt. Voluntabies in the New Parliament.

Of the Protestant Dissenters who had seats in the last parliament, the following gentlemen have again been returned Mr. Kershaw, Mr. Hindley, Mr. Pilkington, and Mr. MiUigan.

Our readers will regret the exclusion of Mr. L. Hey worth. We have now the satisfaction of adding to the list of our Parliamentary representatives, the following members of Evangelical denominations who have not before sat in parliament: Mr. Alderman Challia (who, in accordance with our prediction, was returned at the head of tbe poll), Mr.

Apsley Pellatt, Sir George Goodman, Mr. George Hadfield, Mr. Frank Crosslev. Mr. Barnes, Mr.

MiaJL Mr. Eccles, Mr. Price, Mr. Hastie "and we believe we may include Mr. T.

Chambers and Lord Moretoo as holding Nonconformist principles. Mr. Wilkinson, the new member for Lambeth, is a Wesleyan as is Mr. Westhead, the member for Knaresborough. This list is likely, we trust, to receive some important accessions.

Patriot. Freedom in America A Fugitive Slave Case. James Phillips, a coloured man, who has been working peaceably and honestly for the last li years at Harrisbnrg, Pennsylvania, where he had a wife and children, was seized on the 24th as a fugitive slave, while at his regular work of driving a team for the railway corapany.andhurried before Commissioner R. M'Albs-ter, where, on the strength of testimony that would not have proved title to a dog, he was adjudged a slave. The American Standard thus closes its accouut of this business Mr.

M'Kin-ney then addressed the Commissioner on the illegality of some of the testimony given, the indefiniteness and insufficiency of the evidence as to the ownership by the claimant, and the alleged escape, and the want of proof to justify an order of removal. The Commissioners, however, drew out the papers already drawn up, and filled in the name of James Phillips.

The alleged fugitive was then handed over to the custody of the officers, and immediately conveyed directly across the street into Dauphin county gaol. Tbe entire street was filled with citizens of both sexes, and when Phillips's wife saw him dragged in at the prison door she gave vent to her feelings in tbe most agonising screams, which rent the air as she was conveyed to her desolate home. Fathers and mothers of families, who had never witnessed the practical working of the infamous slave law, now openly denounced it, and an entire revolution iu public sentiment displayed itself throughout the borough. In the morning, at six o'clock, Phillips was taken in the car to Baltimore, and at four o'clock in the afternoon to Virginia. So great was the feeling manifested that an agent was despatched to Baltimore to ascertain the price set on Phillips, and purchase his freedom, to which our citizens very generously and very liberally contributed but np to the time" of our going to press no further news has been received beyond tbe safe arrival of the agent in Baltimore, and his expectation of their bringing Phillips back to that city to be sold.

But without sdvertiug to universal suffrage, let mo ask these gentlemen to carry their idea a little farther back. What caused Louis Philippe to quit bis kingdom in the ignoble manner be did Was that universal suffrage, or was it not She rather, that in wishing to concentrate the government id and around himself he took away its base When the winds blew and floods came, like a bouse built upon the sand, it tumbled over. Had be by timely concessions thrown himself rrpoa the loyalty of bi9 people, he might in all probability have been on the t.irone of rranco uutd the day of his deau.

And when a reform in Parliament is mentioned, the old antiquated cries are dinned into our ears of The Church in danger," The institutions of our country in danger," The Queen in danger." False alarms' The tame cries wero uttered durtog the passing of the Reform Bill of 132, but with what truth Does uot tiie constitution of Sag-land stand out like a summer son, ereno and beautiful Were the institutions of our country evt-r more respected! than now Was ever monarch mora tirmlv eatcd upon her throne than our great and gracious Queen have no hesitation in saving that the passing of that very measure-the Reform Kill of 1832 added very materially lo the support and security of the throne.

For sboold that monarchv ever be menaced 1 which Heaven forbid), who woald be ben tho first and foremost defend it Why the million. Their hearts big with gratitude arms strong with plenty.

Then let me not be told that by redressing a man's grievances yon aiaka him more disaffected that timely concessions incite to rebellion. Away with such false conclusions! Now Jet me have a word or two with the farmers, and I must beg of yon ii hear me with good humour, and not think that because a man is in favour of Free Trade he wishes to annihilate you. Well now you have come here to-day to support candidates who are pledged to uphold the Derby government consequently, it ia only fair to suppose that yon are ready and willing (v give that government your confidence. Iu doing so I most say you are acting rather prematurely, and I think lome-what blindly. Lord Derby has eertajnly done nothing yet for you, and pray whai do you expeet he will de for yon ou have heard fine flashy speeches about modifying (he burdens upon land 5 re-adjustment of taxation, and other vague generalities but I think it wordd be very difficult for you to particularize any one of the blessings ministers have in tore for you.

One day Sir Fitzroy Kelly raises high hopes, another day the Chancellor of the Exchequer brinrja them down again. And how ambiguous is Lord Derby's Famgnage what he says oneday, is qualified another there's defiling like plain downright John Bulhsm in his speeches, ow, want 0 candour whs not what was expected from tbe siufo-asindeii and chivslfotis Lord 8tauley, the nobleman ou whom honour was so highly polished no breath could dim ita lustre.

But it appear? be the craft of the present government to mystify you in every possible way you are living like lovers in hope, walking 211 a fog so deuse you cannot see a band before you Some line morning when you awake you will find the fog gone and your friends to. Did ministera but propound, like honest men, a fair statement of their principles, you would then know bow far your interests wre cared for, and whether or not they were your friends. BuS when you find men racking their brains, and ransacking the English language, in order to mystify you, surely sums hitler caution is required before you give them implicit couhderAee. If ever a Ha-s of men had a right to cry out, save me from my are that class. You were taught ro hate Lord John Kussell because he proposed an eight shilling duty, but how glad would you have been had juu accepted that offer.

And few of you have had th candour to ae knowledge the foresight af that noble lord proposing his measure. But you brought in air Robert Peel he opened the tlood-gatea wide, and yon were thrown over-board. You vre betrayed then, and are you not deceived now Did yon not expect, at Lord Derby's advent to power, that he would, at ii events, attempt to carry out tbe principles he adv seated iu opposition But does he nut hurk the question every possible way? Now you have hitherto been very unfortunate in your selection of friends. Let inu adviee you lo change sides leave the party who have so olteu deceived you, and join the Liberal ranks.

If you have grievances to redress, here you have men able and willing to assist you men who can appreciate your wants and wishes -men who have syrung from the same ranks as yourselves. Vou have supported tho landed aristocracy, thinking your interest and theire were identical. You never made a greater mistake lor iJ is clear your interests are more nearly allied to ihe tradm classes men who live by their hands aud their brains, rather than to those who were born with silver spoons in their mouths. Let it be not thought that I wish to make breach between landlords anil tenants; 1 contend that iu their relation to each other there is a mutual advantage. One has uo more right to dictate than the other has to obey.

But I think you, gentlemen, have been deterred Irom, coming over to our side, because you havo been told you would be rushing into the arms of revolutionists of mes who, reckless of consequences, would destroy the institutions of the country. Now don't let this bugbear stand any longer in your path there's no truth in it. Read and think for yourselves.

Mr.

Pickworth concluded by aominatin Richard Harris, of Leicester, as a tit and proper person to represent the division in parliament. His remarks were received with oft repeated cheers from the froe traders, and cries of Well done Pickworth, we'll nominate vou, end other similar expressions of approba1 ion. It elicited contrary expressions from the protectionists, who jeered the speaker and towards the close became very impatient. The Rev. Edward Stevenson -mid he rose to second the nomination of Richard Harris, Esq.

not because he thought any valuable result would be attained thereby, but because be wished to take the sense of the people with reference to the character of the representatives of the county. He seconded most cordially the nomination, having the moat perfect coDlidence in the moral character, and the political integrity, of that devoted man of the people. Cheers, and cry of Oh, Mr. Farnham presented himself to address the electors, and was met with a storm of hard words aud expressions of disapprobation. It was some time before he could be beard to speak, and then not more than two or three words in a sentence were audible.

Mr. Pickworth interposed, and begged the people, as Englishmen, to hear Mr. Farnham, and every one who thought proper to address them. Mr. Farnham said they had heard a long speech from a gentleman residing in the town, who, to hia mind, had falsified his own principles he had stood forward and told them he was a free-trader, and that Free Trade had made the people a stone and a half heavier.

Xow it appeared to him that Mr. Pickworth hud opened all their mouths, but put nothing into them. Mr. Pickworth had also spoken of a figure dressed in a very extraordinary manner, and be should thiuk no man could put that figure in 1 more he-coming dress than Mr. Pickworth, who was (as he was informed) a draper.

If he did not know from his own exoe- rience that Free Trade could not clothe the people, it was time he gave up. He (Mr. Farnham) was not a free-tracV-; but, as he had before observed, fair play is a jewel." j.r Mr. Pickworth had told them of the blessings of Free Trade and the prosperity they all enjoyed but he never said a word about tbe grist it brought to his own mill. Having said thus much about Mr.

Pickworth, who had said a great deal about himself, he would leave him alone and refer to hit own political opinions. He had been asked what the quarrymen in his own village would say to him. He need only point to the beautiful flag opposite, and tell them that it was purchased and presented to him hy the poor residing iu his neighbourhood and that was au answer to the iu sinuation that tho poor his own district disapproved of him. He had now represented them fifteen years i'a voice You are a and he thought he had some olaim to ask again for their support. He appealed to them whether he had betrayed their confidence (A voice You never had ours Had he not kept up to the professions he had made? and he would ask whether he had not attended to their local interests and if he had not always shown a desire to promote the public welfare When Lord Russell was prime minister of this country, and when Free Trade was in its infancy, Mr.

Disraeli brought forward a measure in the House of Commons, for the relief of the working classes, and to relieve the suffering agricultural interest -but those measures were opposed by Lord John, and were ridiculed by the ministers although, in the speech from the throne, the existence of the distress was admitted. He thought, when they saw these things going on, it wus high time to look out for other miuisters and they'did so the late administration becoming 30 weak, that it fell to pieces. (A voice It was stronger than yours His opinion was, Lhat the present prime minister was not for tefftt I latiou and no one disliked more than he Mr did, class legislation but he considered Free Trade to be a one-sided polity. He considered that it impoverished one class at the expense of another, and he believed Lord Derby was of the same opinion, and wouid bring forward measures to remedy the evils they now had to complain of.

Globe. The ex-Govebnoe of Hungarx The Debats of Wednesday week cotitains some documents of considerable importance, inasmuch as the character of the illustrious ex-Governor of Hungary is assailed with some bitterness. These documents are entitled to some consideration, in eonsequenee of the hijih character of those from whom they emanate. The gallant old general Demhinski writes to the editor of the Dbatx to protest against some criticisms which have appeared in that journal on the memoirs of the traitor Gtirgei. The Debats had said that Demhinski had left the command of the army when it was in deplorable condition, and that the army did not regain its vigour until Gijrgei assumed the command.

The General declares this to be false; he says, in a letter which has appeared in the Algcmeinc Zcitung, that the only reproach which military men will make is, that he did not bring Gorgei to a court-martial that is well known to all military men, that nothing could have saved the Austrian army from utter annihilation, but Gorgei's treachery that the Austrian army would have been swept away from the face of the earth, and driven into the Danube even in the month of March, and the intervention of Russia rendered impossible. Tbe other important letter is from izemere, who was formerly Minister in Hungary. Gorgei says that the cause of Hungary had been offered to a Russian prince by the leaders of the insurrection. M. Szemere says that G(irgei had made some proposals to this effect on his own responsibility, to General Paskiewitsch, the Russian General, and that in consequence, he and Count Casimir Batthyani were sent to negotiate on the matter with General Paskiewitsch, but that the crown was never offered to a Russian Prince, although Gorgei urged such a proceeding.

But the most remarkable part of the letter is that in which he says that Kossuth and Gtirgei, at a council at Aibd, absolutely proposed that, as a last extremity, the iron crown of Hungary should be offered to a Russian Prince, but that this proposal wus over-ruled by the other ministers, and that it was repeated and again urged by Gorgei, and seconded by Kossuth. It is probable that the echoes of that eloquent voice, which was listened to with rapture in England, will be heard booming across the Atlantic, to vindicate the character of the foremost man of all the world against such aspersions as these. And apropos of Russian Princes, to-day is the birthday of the Emperor of Russia. lie was born on the 7th July, 1796, and is therefore in his 57th year. He ascended the throne on the 1st December, 1825.

Correspondent of Morning Advertiser. ITALY. The Hor.v City and Improvements. Popery, the sworn foe to progress, sits like an incubus upon civilization. The Pope and the Cardinals mock in idle state every effort made by the benefactors of the human race to enter the Holy City.

The spirit of Ignatius Loyola buzzes like a great cantharide against the gas lamp with which an itihsh i) Javed streets of theeven-hilled5 city. The Pope had stipulated that he must approve of the spot selected rnninynv hu1 vurwrl fnen Krhtnn Tito Horlr onH by the company for the erection of the gasometer. Tbe company have pointed out twelve different plans, against none of which any reasonable objection could be raised, but the Pope has rejected them all, and thus Rome is again condemned to the pristine Cimmerian condition. Again, a Frenchman who rejoices in the balloonish name of Montgolfier Bordin, entered into a contract with the government to erect, at his own cost, four bridges over the yellow Tiber, on the condition that he were to be allowed to levy a small amount of pontage or toll from passengers using two of the bridges The arrangement was highly advantageous to the Roman Government, and the Duke di Braschi thought he bad made an excellent bargain; hut now, it seems, that two or three ferrymen, the Charons of the flavus Tiber have induced their confessors to point out to the Pope the danger which foot passengers will incur in crossing the river by a bridge instead of a boat, and thus the whole project is knocked on the head.

Again, everything as decided for the commencement of the railroad from Rome to Aucona, via Bologna. The contract was signed, authorisation was given to the French engiueer, M. Courtine, to draw bills on the house of Baring in London, and Suir at Vienna, but the Pope now refuses to put his seal to the bond he thinks that railroads are wicked, that a railway engine is a monster and at the eleventh hour he refuses to complete the contract and thus tbe AlUe Mteniu Rjjihp are not to be desecrated by the entrance of Progress. Verily, the Pope bears a stronger hereditary resemblance to Judas Iscariot than to the St. Peter, whose keys be is perpetually dangling about the world.

Morning Advertiser. AMERICA. We learn by a late arrival from the United States, that a dispatch from Washington announced the decease of the Hon. II. Clay, on the 29th ult.

At seventeen minutes past eleven he breathed his last, at the National Hotel. He had been for three days so low as to be scarcely able to converse with his sou or pastor, Dr. Butler, but no further visible change was observed in his condition until a few moments before death, except that he had suffered from cold sweats during the night. His physician. Dr.

Hall, was then hastily sent for, but before his arrival Mr. Clay breathed his last. No one was present at the time except his son, Thomas Hart Clay, and Governor Jones, of Tennessee. His last moments were calm and quiet, and he seemed in full possession of all his faculties, apparently suffering but little. He did not speak for several hours before death, but his countenance indicated a happy resignation and full knowledge of his condition.

lie had long since made every preparation for death, giving his oon full instructions as to the disposition of his body and the settlement of his worldly affairs. Mayor Maury has summoned the City Councils to assemble in the morning, to make arrangements for participating in tbe funeral ceremonies.

On Saturday the thermometer stood in the sun at 102 degrees Fahrenheit, and iu the shade at 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Throughout the week the heat in the metropolis averaged 103 degrees, and on Monday last, the mercury attained 10C degrees Fahrenheit, a degree of heat seldom exceeded in a tropica climate.

The excessive Heat which prevails at present gives some interest to the following account of remarkably hot summers: "In 1132 the earth opened, and the rivers and springs disappeared, in Alsace. The Khine was dried up. In 1152 the heat was so great that eggs were cooked in the sand. In 1 160, at the battle Bela, a great number of soldiers died from the heat.

The election of two knights of the shire, to serve iu Parliament for the Northern Division of Leicestershire, took place at Loughborough, on Wednesday last. Report said, an opposition would be made to Mr. Farnham, and that Mr.

Gisborne would be proposed. This report was current in Leicester on Tuesday, and caused some stir amongst the county electioneerers. The day opened at Loughborough with the ringing of the church bells and soon after sine o'clock, a band, composed of friends from Leicester, Nottingham, and Loughborough, turned out with the party colours of the Conservative party, and proceeded on the road towards Loughborough, to meet the candidates, E. B. Farnham, Esq.

(the old member), and Lord Granby, who came to fill tbe place of tbe retiring member his uncle, Lord Charles Manners. Several men left Loughborough on horseback, and some on foot and about ten o'clock the procession entered tbe town in the following order Fourteen horsemen. The Band. Flags and banners. Men on foot.

Stephens, The baud played, as they entered the town, See the Conquering Hero Comes," and "The Home of the Englishman." The flags bore the inscriptions, God Save the Queen, the Altar, and the Throne," "Edward Basd Farnham," Agriculture and Commerce," As soon as the candidates arrived at the Ploueh the Chartists collected round the windows, and received the candidates with yells and discordant noises, at the same time holding up pieces of green, a small loaf upon a stiok, and other things. Sir G. H. Beaumont, the High Sheriff, having arrived, the business was opened with the usual formalities, and then W. Herrick, of Beaumahor-park, came forward to nominate E.

B. Farnham, as a fit and proper person to represent the county. (Cheers, and a cry He is not a fit He had represented them during the last fifteen years, and had kept to his principles. He had been weighed in the balance and had not been found wanting and now he came forward again to solicit their confidence. (A noise, and a cry We won't have He would uphold the Protestant institutions of the country, and be would also give his cordial support to the present government.

(Cheers and groans.) He would render Lord Derby his support, becaose he thought that noble lord's government would act in accordance with the principles he himself entertained. People would tell them Lord Derby had shifted his ground that he had no fixed principles to guide him they would tell them a great many things, if they would believe them. The Whigs would tell them they were the only persons who could govern this country. People who talked about inconsistency should be at least consistent themselves; but he knew no consistency on the part of the Whigs, except their clinging as long as possible to power. How did they act on a late occasion? Why, when owing to their own blundering, and their own incapacity and division, they were obliged to give up the reins of government, they handed over to her Majesty the trust they had received, and persuaded her to place Lord Derby in office, where he now was, and where he (Mr.

Herrick) hoped be would remain. (Cheers aud groans.) They had no sooner done this, than they repented of their chivalrous conduct, and so bitterly did they feel the loss of power, that they went to Cobden and asked him to assist them in turning out the very government they had placed in power but the voice of the country was against them, and would not hear of such an unprincipled compact. Then, again, the Whigs were mortified at the course of policy Lord Derby had pursued. They expected that he would at once reverse the commercial policy which bad been adopted in this country for the last few years believing that such a course would throw the whole country into disorder, and that they should then again come into power. But Lord Derby was too old a statesman to do that he would not make such a momentous change in our policy until he had taken the sense of the country upon it.

(A voice "We won't have They accused Lord Derby of tergiversation, of shifting his principles, and he (Mr. knew not what besides but they knew, and were satisfied, if Lord Derby received the confidence of the constituencies of England, his aim and object would be to benefit, not one particular class, but tbe nation at large. (Groans and cheers.) He would call upon those gentlemeu who might differ from Lord Derby as to the commercial policy of the country, in the present crisis, to decide between men who would preserve tbe constitution of tbe country, and men of democratic opinions, who, if successful, would gain such a power that no future statesman would be able to resist them and in the end, if this happened, we should have anarchy and revolution, similar to that which had been shaking the continental powers. This was an important crisis, and he knew the electors would do their duty, and return "good men and true," in whom they could confide; and believing Mr. Farnham to be suoh a man, he had great pleasure in nominating him.

(Cheers and groans.) E. B. Hartopp, of Old Dalby, seconded the nomination. He had knowc Mr. Farnham more than twenty years, both in his public and private character, and if he had not seen enoagh to convince him he was a fit and proper person to represent them, he would not be there to second his nomination.

For sixteen years be had been their member, and many difficult subjects had arisen during that time, and the moat conscientious men bad been puzzled how to vote and he would ask them all whether Mr. Farnham bad ever falsified any of his professions. (Hear, and He No; he bad passed through the difficulties with increasing honour to h'mself and, through him, credit to the constituency. He had never broken a pledge he had given. They were quite aware that since the system of free trade had been in existence (but it was not free trade, for it did a great in jury to the producer, and was only a small benefit to the consumer) Mr.

iarnham had been seeking for justice to the producing classes of the country. If they were to have freedom of trade, let them also have fair and bond fide free trade, and not a one-sided system. Let them act fairly towards all classes. (A voioe Give ns the Charter, and we'll soon regulate Lord Derby's government was pledged to some measure that would give them justice, (A voice Lower the and if they would only give him the power to carry it out, there was no doubt be would do it. The family government broke down by its own dissensions, and as Lord Derby had been placed in power, it was only fair that they should give him a chance, before they were all handed over to Messrs.

Cobden, Bright, and Co. If they did not desire to be handed over to the tender mercies of those men, they would return such men as the gentleman he had the honour of seconding. (A voice What has he done He would not look after particular classes, but would attend assiduously to the welfare of all classes of his constituency. (Cheers and groans.) Sir G. J.

Palmer, (of Wanlip Hall) said the recent dissolution had again called them to make a choice of representatives and they were all aware that one of their late members had taken this opportunity of retiring from public service (A voice: "To make room for a to enjoy that repose and rest which a long and useful life justly entitled him to. They owed him a debt of gratitude, and they must all deplore the loss they were about to sustain but he had to congratulate them that a candidate had come forward to supply his place, well worthy to succeed their late member ha meant the Marquis of Granby. (Loud cheers, and a cry of give us cheap bread and we don't care what you Though, hitherto, the noble Marquis had been politically unknown to them, ha had long been personally known to all of them. He had discharged his Parliamentary duties with credit to himself, and advantage to the country at large. His principles were known to them they were the principles which the great and honoured family of which he was a member had ever advocated, and the Marquis had never swerved from those principles.

He was a thorough Conservative, in the truest sense of the word for he desired to uphold the institutions of the country; and, possessing that desire, he was a conscientious supporter of the present government. He had no doubt the noble Marquis would, when returned, devote his best attention to all interests in the country to the agricultural, the manufacturing, the commercial, and tbe shipping and if they returned him, he felt sure they would never repent their choice, (Cheers.) R. Gougb, in a thorough protectionist speech, seconded the nomination of the Marquis. Mr. Pickworth said, Gentlemen, I am proud to acknowledge myself a free-trader.

You hare heard speeches from Protectionist gentlemen, and cannot, in common fairness, refuse to those who advocate a different policy, an opportunity of expressing their opinions. Now, gentlemen, do not ran away with the idea, as is sometimes the case, that for a man to be a free-trader, he must also be a revolutionist. I will acknowledge myself second to none in my attachment to the institutions of this country. Nor am I going to advocate universal suffrage. I certainly wish for a large extension of the franchise, but in the present defective state of the education of the people, I think universal suffrage would not be properly exercised.

Now, although I differ in opinion from many of the gentlemen around me, I trmt in the remarks which I may think proper to make none will be considered personally diirespectful. Difference of opinion there always has been, and difference of opinion there always will be but I hope there is sufficient nobleness in human nature to prevent an honest opposition from degenerating into personal enmity. Now, gentlemen, there are two candidates proposed for the honour of representing the Northern Division of the county of Leicester in Parliament. With respect to one of them, the Marquis of Granby, although I cannot conscientiously vote for him, I must acknowledge that I think he will very fairly represent the political principles of a great number in this county, and am also quite willing to own that, did I hold the opinions the noble Marquis does, I should certainly think him the beau ideal of a county member. And there is a reason why I am somewhat loth to oppose the Marquis of Granby.

He is so nearly allied to the good Dnke of Rutland, a man (I say man, because that is the most emphatic word) a man who has not only large possessions in this but who, has also a large hold on the aOecUons of its inhabitants so that worn In nffcr murh nm In nl JS.Y i ij 1 7t -HWrWX I should a. if I were, in soma measure, doing notaot Trade and I think this may be accounted for by the fact, that the trade once carried on exclusively there has been partly directed into other channels. An immense quantity of silk is now made in Manchester and the neighbourhood, and there is another reason silk, at one time unequalled as an article of dress, is now in a great measure superseded by the beautiful fabrics of Yorkshire and Scotland so that I think the noble marquis has not here hit upon a very happy illustration of the evils arising from Free Trade, for had the noble marquis all the protection his heart could desire, he could not benefit the Spitalrlelds silk weavers. Aj well might the condition of coachmen and postboys -men who lost their occupation by the introduction of railways be taken as a test of the state of the country as the Spitalfieids silk weavers. The noble marquis next refers to British shipping, contending that it also is in a deep decline, and says, fair test of this would be a statement of the number of ships and steamers built of late years.

They would find that the number built in 1849 was 730 iu 1850, 689 and in 1851, but 670." The noble marquis makes no further comment on this statement, but no doubt exultiogly concludes that the figures he has given must convince every one that British shipping is in a most deplorable condition. Now, had the noble marquis but studied tho amount of tonnage of these ships, he would have given a rather more correct impression. But this would scarcely suit the noble marquis's argument for what is the fact At tiie snd of the year 1849, when the Navigation Act expired, the registered tonnage was 4,144,115, and at the end of the last year two years after the repeal of the navigation law it was 4,332,085." So that, instead of a decrease of tonnage, there baa been an increase if there have been fewer ships built, they have been larger ones. To give you a local illustration, instead of being satisfied with i- machines, they have made 8- an 12- ones. Tbe noble marquis, doubting the fact that tbe people have been better fed since Free Trade has been in existence, labours to prove that although there were nearly ten million quarters of corn imported into this country last year, that we actually consumed less by nearly half a million quarters than we did in 1846.

Now, I must say, a more preposterous statement I never heard, and how fai- lacious is the source relied upou to prove it. What do you I think it is Why, the corn returns from 290 market towns. Every corn factor will bear me out when I say that a return is not made of one-half, probably of not one-fourth, of the oorn sold in this or any other market. Now, I believe the yield of wheat per acre last year was over the average. Yet the noble marquis contends that there was less wheat grown in 1851 by two and a half million quarters than in 18-16.

Now, had such been the case we should certainly have beard of 1 some large occupiers of land who had given up the cultivation of this particuiar grain. It would be no small farm to produce two-and-a-half million quarters. There must have beensomo large wheatless tract. Well, where was it Recollect, that 1 within that time, there has been no less than 300,000 acres of land brought into cultivation. Now, gentlemen, presurn- ing five quarters of wheat the average produce per acre, there I must have been in England, according to the noble Mar- quia, upwards of half a million acres less of wheat in 1851, than there were in 1846.

Jnst fancy, gentlemen, 250 farms, 200 acres each, which where wholly wheat in 1845, and which, in 1851, did not produce a single grain. Do you think such was the ease? Will any farmer endorse this draft upon our credulity drawn by the Marquis of Granby The noble Marquis proceeds to speak somewhat contempt uously of tbe manufacturing interests and doubts (without giving any reason for doing so) whether they are in a prosperous position. He says, He might be told tbe manufacturing interests were prosperous, but he had very great doubts of it. He did not deny they could show an increase of exports and imports, but be thought it would be found, if tbe question were thoroughly examined, that profits had not increased, but had diminished, and that manufacturers were in a state of excitemeut, and not of sound health." Thus insinuating that although they are manufacturing largely and selling largely, they are doing so at a loss. Well, now, I think manufacturers may be safely left to themselves on that point.

Of one thing I am quite certain, this assumption of the noble Marquis has caused many a smile. Now, gentlemen, whilst the Marqois of Granby may be in some measure a fit and proper peraou to represent the agricultural portion of this county, I must, on behalf of the manufacturing and trading iuterebt, ask for a different representative than Mr. Farnham. We cannot, certainly, congratulate the honourable gentleman on his brilliaDt speeches in the House of Commons for although be has been 15 years a member, he has never yet opened his lips. I am aware there are members of tbe house who, al-though they do not speak much, yet have from their practical 1 character, considerable influence, and are very useful members of Parliament.

But this cannot be said of Mr. Farnham, as I am given to understand he has never shown any particular aptitude for business, or gained one particle of influence. Now I think North Leicestershire, with a constituency of between four and five thousand, ought not be satisfied with such a representative. The mercantile and manufacturing interests in this division of the county are by no means inconsiderable, and I think they have a right to insist upon having a representative who is not only well acquainted with commercial transactions, but who has also a considerable business ability. Should anything arise in Parliament affecting the commerce of this county, or the country, Mr.

Farnham would be the last man we should apply to either as an advocate or a defender. The hon. gentleman claims your suffrages, principally on the ground that he will support Lord Derby a government, and makes his promises of support to Lord Derby's government, the stalking horse to power it appears to be the ue plus ultra of the hon. gentleman's parliamentary qualifications. Well, now, gentlemen, such being the case, considerable trouble, and no little expense, might have been saved, had we been allowed quietly to manufacture a representative which, I think we could do, and a very good one too.

For instance, if we had a large wooden figure made, and we had this figure clothed after the following fashion It should have on one of Messrs. Cartwright and Warner's Angola vests, a pair of Messrs. Paget's and White's pantaloons, a pair, also, of Messrs. Harriman, Knight, and Cotton's stockings, and one of Mr. Gimson's night caps.

On this figure we might havo painted in large blue letters (if that were tbe colour preferred) A representative for the Northern Division of the County of Leicester." We might then have it carefully packed and directed to the Right Hon. the Earl Derby, with invoice enclosed, to be used when required." Then I contend we should have a representative of some localise for as Lord Derby must occasionally notice his trusty supporters, he would then be struck by the habiliments in which the figure was clad, and forcibly reminded of the manufactures carried on in this neighbourhood; and with that generosity for which the noble earl is so celebrated, wishing to reward trusty and valuable he might be induced to do something very handsomely for us. So that if Mr. Farnham would make his bow and retire, continuing to dispense the hospitality of Quorndon-house, I think we should be quite as well satisfied. Mr.

Farnham says he doubts whether the poor have derived any advantage from Free Trade. Well, now I see a great number of the working classes here, and I will ask whether they wish for a dear or a cheap loaf. Do you who have large families wish for a return to protection, by which that great necessary of life, bread, should be made dear Will Mr. Farnham tell us that the quarrymen in his own neighbourhood have not been benefited by Free Trade have not the miners in this county been benefited by Free Trade have not the stock-mgers with their beggarly amount of earnings have they not been benefitted by cheap bread Bear in mind there is no probability that if bread had been three times the price their wages would have been one farthing more. Why, I contend, that the Protectionists' own pets, the men of their peculiar care, the agricultural labourers, are in a better condition under Free Trade than they were under protection.

Mr. Farnham has no doubt seen the poor law returns, and knows that throughout England pauperism has decreased to very considerable extent, and that in thia very county during the last year, notwithstanding trade has been dull pauperism has decreased twelve per cent. To what, I ask, other than Free Trade, is to be attributed this better state of things Seldom is now ever heard the agonizing cry, umj childrena re starving for bread." No, thank Heaven and a just legislature, the poor are better cared for I was much struck by an answer I received from a man of Dise-worth, a village some short distance from here. After Free Trade had been in operation some time, I asked him if the poor were pretty comfortable about him. Oh rarely, sir," says he, "I hardly know the men when they go p.st my shop they weigh a stone and a half heavier than they did." But not to confine the question to this locality, I will, with your permission, read you au extract from the Board of Trade returns, showing the increased consumption throughout the country of articles which, if not absolute necessaries of life, add very much to life's comforts.
