had been passed they would , have been better without the Reform Bill of 1832 . Did it ever happen to any Government in this country , or in the world , that upon three great questions their measures should be so ill-considered , so ill-calculated to meet with the approval of the people , that every one of them failed ? Before the dissolution they were told that the Government ought to be kept in power * because there was only one man who could maintain the peace of Europe , and that was Lord Malmesbury . Well , the voice of England , in Parliament , which might have had some weight , was silenced by the dissolution , and within ten days war was declared . Did they approve the appointments of the Government when they put into a high judicial situation a man who knew little or nothing of law , having only held a clerkship in an office , and the very mention of caused him to ive it ? Did
which appointment g Up they approve the manner in which a great department over which he had once the honour of presiding was made the arena of political jobbery ? These were probably not the-grounds on which the Government appealed to the country , but they were at least the facts most patent to all men , and he congratulated the . electors of the West Riding on the answer which they had given , by sending two men who would say , " Forbearing have we been , longsuffering have we been , a fair trial have we given you , but your own acts are the strongest condemnation which could be passed upon any Government . " Let the Government take it which way they liked ; they had asked the constituency of the West Riding what they thought of the Reform Bill , and what they thought of the Government . There could be no doubt as to the answer ; They rejected
the one and condemned the other . Lord Chakijss Russell , M . P . —At Bedford the noble lord has delivered a speech in which he was very hard upon . Lord Derby for dissolving Parliament , and laid at his door the responsibility of the complications how existing on the European , continent .. Lord Charles also delivered a vindication of his brother ' s policy . He said , The limits of an afterdinner speech will not allow me to attempt even a sketch of my brother ' s Parliamentary life . We can't put the contents of an encyclopaedia into the narrow dimensions of a penny tract ; but did time permit I could desire no more grateful theme .. During a long political life of more than forty years , Lord John has
riot laboured in vain for a generous and a grateful people . And now a word or two about foreign policy . War is abroad , and the only circumstance that cheers me is , tHat we seem to have no reason to take part in the present war . We can have no interest in Austria , that most hopeless Of all governments , that has so systematically suppressed the liberty of a noble people in the fairest portion of the globe . Nor can we feel much hope in the liberty of one nation gained by the arms of another , nor in the truth of France , with liberty on her lips and despotism on her brow . The application of all this is-r-that Austria represents the old Tories of this country , and France their present race , with reform in their
mouths and reaction in their hearts . We can have no sympathy with either . Then let us take our stiund , not in the armed neutrality of Lord Derby , but in the strict neutrality of Lord John Russell ; and while the despotic nations of the continent are on the full march of retrogression , let us free islanders rest secure within our double wall of sea and ships , and at the dictate of our old reforming statesman , so busy ourselves with measures of internal reform as to be a beacon to the nations , burning bright above the lurid glare of war , and teaching that the best hope of a . free people is the freedom of her institutions , —her best security , the timely extension of their basis .
Mjr , Urquhart . —This eccentric gentleman delivered the concluding portions of his lecture op the War in Italy last night . Amid much that was strange and incomprehensible in ljis address there were some passages which displayed both reason and eloquence .. Chatham .- —The Liberals of Chatham , believing that their recent defeat at the election was partly owing to the want of a thorough organisation of the party , have resolved to form a Liberal Association to remedy that defect . A meeting was held on Monday night , and it was , unanimously resolved to form an association , to be supported by voluntary contributions . Meetings on the War . —At a meeting of the Plymouth town-council last week , n . memorial to Government was adopted , to the effect that it is no pnirt of the duty of England to meddle in the contest now going on . " —Public meetings advocating non-intervention have , also , been well attended at Manchester aqd Nottingham , and resolutions passed to that effect . —A great non-intervention meeting . has been held at Norwich , An address to the Queen , in jfavour of abstinence from tho present war , was adopted unanimously .
POLITICAL FORESHADOWINGS . Sir Jambs Graham and the Ministers . — Sir John Pakington and General Peel have both written to Sir James upon the subject ; of some statements advanced by him in his Carlisle speech . Sir John Pakington is hurt by Sir James ' s assertion that" Captain Carnegie informed the First Lord of the Admiralty he had made inquiries at Dover , and he was satisfied success was impossible without the use of means which , as a man of honour , he could not use . The First Lord of the Admiralty said < There is no option , ' and intimated that he must go to Dover , " Sir John declares this imputation to be totally unfounded . General Peel denies that the increased allowance of billet money to publicans was
given for electioneering purposes , since it was promised in the House of Commons in February last ; tho statement of Sir James Graham as to the new barracks at Berwick he also contradicts . Sir James has apologised to both the right hon , gentlemen . Sir CnARLES Wood , M . P . —At an election dinnner the right hpn . bart ; congratulated the electors of West Yorkshire on * the result of the poll , and said , When defeated on the Reform Bill , Government appealed to the country to reverse the decision of tho House of Commons . Their answer , at least , could
not bo misunderstood . The Government were anxious to escape from the issue which the decision of the House of Commons raised . They said they did riot appeal to the country on that bill , but on the merits of the Government . Well , let them weigh the Government on such grounds . There were three measures . of importance which they brought before the House , and what was tho result ? There wab , first , the India B . W , which was rejected with contempt and ridicule ) next they brought in a CJiu ^ hr-rato BiWj which satisfied nobody , and it was thrown out j the third measure was the Reform Bill , of which ho would any nothing but this , that if it

• m . . , ¦ THE ELECTIONS . At . the Cirencester Petty Sessions , oh Monday , Mr . Henry Pole , of Stratton , near Cirencester , and three of his servants , were summoned under the Corrupt Practices Prevention Act , for having , by abduction and contrivance , interfered with the free exercise of the franchise by John Kibblewhite , of Cirencester , an old labourer , who deposed that the day before the election lie was ' sent for to'Mr . Pole ' s house to open a draiii . The woman servant gave him some tea which he says , stupified him . He was then sent to a public house , the landlady of which was told that he was ill , and to give him twenty drops of laudanum in some rum , the next morning . Eventually he got to the hustings in time , and voted . The magistrate committed the three servants , but admitted them to bail .. They considered that there was no evidence against Mr . Pole .
