Sir James Graham has addressed a striking letter to the electors of Carlisle . It speaks of the difficulty of findi ng " a Protectionist without disguise ; " and he sees that while a longing for a corn-law lingers in the counties , in t he Houso " the last shadow of Protection seems to have vanished in a Militia Bill . " He happily calls the budget speech " The official homage paid to truth ; " but he points out how Mr . Disraeli daily shifts his ground , and that his ¦ latest-declaration-is . one for Protection . Altogether , ho thinks the balance inclines towards a reversal of Free irade , and he urges free-trade electors to ask all candidates " Are you a supporter of Lord Derby ' s Government ? " as a test . " For myself / ' he says , " I will make no professions . My public life for the last thirty-four -years , is before you . I am a Free-trader ; a Reformer ; a sincere member of the Established Church ; a constant friend of civil and religious liberty ; and , I must add , with pain , that I am an opponent of Lord Derby ' s Government .

The glass-makers of Birmingham made a demonstration on the 30 th of April , to testify their estimate of the value of the services of Mr . George Dawson , M . A ., in the cause of Hungary . They did this by meeting in the Odd Fellows Hall , and presenting to him a token of their respect and affection in the shape of a large and handsome glass cup , and also the flag which bore his name on the great and memorable Kossuth demonstration . The meeting was very hearty . " We regret to notice that Mr . Apsley Pellatt , of London , refused to attend because William Newton , the able spokesman for the oppressed engineers , had been invited ! It is as gratifying to see this interchange of courtesies between working men and independent leaders like George Dawson , as it is painful to read of what we may call the ceconomical bigotry of a man like Mr . Apsley Pellatt , who occupies a leading position among- the Radicals of Southwark .

The Dover Chronicle saw , that a soldier othe 6 h depot , quartered at Dover Heights Barracks , while confined at the guard house on Monday night last , confessed to the serjeant of the guard being the murderer of the late Lord Norbury , in Ireland , some ten years since , at noonday , in his park . Tho man stated that he shot the unfortunato nobleman , and gave a detailed account of the murder ( which tho sorjeant very properly committed to writing in the presence of two men of the guard ) ; and as he comes from the locality in which the murder was perpetrated , there is a probability of tho truth of his admissions . Ho adds that he entered tho army after committing tho deed . The man is now in very close confinement in the guard-houso , at the Western Heig hts , awaiting tho results of inquiries which havo been sot on foot .

As KosHuth , in his progress through tho States , rocodod from tho Atlantic coast , rumours bocamo rife that the Yankees wcro becoming disgusted with him ; that ho had insulted Henry Clay ; that prosperity had made him insolent and overweening ; in short , that his cause was injured rather than nerved by his advocacy , Sinco ho camo eastward again , applauso has followed and calumny lagged behind him . His latest victory over tho Yankee Absolutists and tho Jesuit press was at Fanouil Hall , Boston . A military escort was allotted to him , and he reviewed tho troops .

Having done thin , ho proceeds to report upon tho conduct of the burghers as follows : — " I deeply regret , for tho credit of tho frontier inhabitants , to report that only 200 burghora from tho district
of Somerset , 200 from Gradpck , and 33 from Gratam ' s Town , have responded to my command . They first ob ! jected to the volunteer system which I offered to their loyalty . They then requested to be commanded to turn out . Their shuffling conduct is melancholy . There are many loyal and energetic men who d 6 not fall under this censure , especially the burghers of Albert , under Mr Cole , who , although they have not turned out bn this last occasion , having beeii only just dismissed after a long and harassing though successful inroad over the Upper Kei have done right good service during the war . ' * ' In winding up his last despatch , he gives unsparing praise to the chief among his subordinate officers .
