Mr . Bernard said that for many years the agricultural interest of the country had endured great difficulties arid privations ; they had encountered them manfully , but they would not he a party to fettering the new ministry , based on sound conservative principles , by pledging them to any particular or specific measures , whether remedial or protective , but that , having confidence in them , they were prepared to
ac-$ atttr : da . y , April 17 . A MEETING of gentry , clergy , and agriculturists , resident in the county of Buckingham , was held at the George Hotel / Ay lesbury , on Friday , for the . purpose of voting confidence in the Earl of Derby and present administration . Upwards of 200 persons were present , the chair being filled by Mr . W . Lowndes , of Cheshara , a gentleman well known for his attachment to the Conservative cause in this neighbourhood . In opening the proceedings the Chairman stated , that the meeting had been convened by the Conservative Club of Buckinghamshire , and that the object in view was to give their support to the present Government , Some resolutions had been prepared , which would be immediately submitted to their consideration .
cept such measures at their hands as they might in their judgment deem fair and honest to propose ( cheers ) . He concluded by moving the first resolution , " That this meeting hails with satisfaction the formation of a Conservative ^ Giovernment , / wrijih the Eso-t-of Derby afc . its ; . head , Relieving the ; stability of the Throne and constitution , and the welfareofthe best interests of this country , will be maintained and promoted by her Maiesty ' s present advisers . " ( Cheers . )
The resolution was seconded by Mr . Newman , put to the meeting , and carried unanimously . Mr . P . Box moved the next resolution : —" That this meeting observes with unfeigned disapprobation the factious attempt of the late Prime Minister , regardless of the circumstances under which the present Government were brought into office , to hastily force upon them a dissolution of parliament , which he had but a few days previously counselled her Majesty was impolitic and unwise . " He declared that the opposition offered by / Lord John Kussell was factious , and that the country looked
upon him with contempt as " a dishonourable man . Everybody , however , he shortly added with slight inconsistency , was banded against " the noble and chivalrous" Earl of Derby ; the late Ministers—Mr . Cobden and " the democratic faction "—Sir James Graham , who had been coquetting with the Radicals , but who was despised by all as a " turn-coat . " Mr . Box , however , " trusted the day would never arrive when the polluted stream of democracy , mingling with the equally filthy stream of political apostasy , would acquire force enough to undermine and sweep away tho monarchical institutions of this country . " ( Cheers . ) Mr . E . W . S . Lowndes having seconded tho resolution , it was put from tho choir , and agreed to without a dissentient .
Mr . H . S . Trowcr proposed the next resolution" That although labouring under tho baneful effects of tho lato frcc-trado lcgis \ ation , this mooting is dosirous that the present Government ehould , in devising n remed y for tho still existing agricultural distress , bo unfettered , feeling confidonco that the agricultural > ntoroat will receivo from them its duo consideration , and that justice will bo done by them to Jill classes of her Majest y ' s subjects . " Tho resolution was agreed to , « nd a cordial vote of thanks to Mr . Lowndcn , tho chairjnan , closed the proceedings of this extremely " inijuontial" asscinblngo . '¦
On Thursday night n meeting of tho liberal electors of Nottingham was held in tho Exchange Hall , for the purpoHo of hearing addresses from tho Right Hon . Edward Strutt , nnd Mr . Thomas Qisbomo , tho candidates agreed upon by that party to bo put in nomination nt tuo next election . Proceedings wore announced to conmionco at 7 o ' clock , by which timo only about 50 persons . had asssomblod . At 0 tho room was about Aw Parts flIlod - Mr - Alderman Victors presided . ¦ After explanations by Mr . T . Closo of tho oxortions wade to riuso an opposition to Mr . Walter , '
-Mr . Striitt presented himself , and was warmly applauded .: He expressed the gratification he had felt at receiving an invitation from al arge body of electors to become a candidate .: H ! e stood before them no untried man , having represented his native town Derby for eighteen years , and in six . ! Parliaments , Proceeding to explain his views on the leading questions of the day , he declared that he-was no moderate convert to the " principles ' of Free-trade ; he had from the first voted for motions for the repeal of the Corn Laws , and he referred with approbation to the statement of Mr . S . Herbert , that any proposal to impose a Protective duty on corn was neither more nor less than an attempt
" to give out-door relief to the country gentlemen . " He rejoiced at the measure of Reform introduced during the present year by Lord- J ; Russell . There was , however , an important omission , inasmuch as it did not disfranchise small boroughs . Though prepared to support the enfranchisement of 51 . occupiers , he thought the better course would have been , to extend the privilege to those who held the municipal franchise . He was strongly in favour of the ballot . He expressed his anxiety for legal refrom and tie education of the people . He had . always "been in fayour of the removal of civil and religious disabilities , and the abolition of church rates . ( Cheers . )
Mr * Alderman Birkin . proposed , —r" That this meeting pledges itself to support the Right . Hon . Edward Strutt and Mr . Thomas Gisboxne at the coming election . " Which resolution was seconded by Mr . Councillor Eyre , and carried ; soon after which , tke' proceedingsterminated . The Conservatives of Sheffield are about to bring out Mr . William Overerid , barrister-at-law , of the Northern Circuit a , nd West Biding petty sessions bar . He is brother of Mr . Wilson Overend , of Sheffield , a magistrate of the West Biding of Yorkshire , of the county of Derby , and of the borough of Sheffield . The Overends are an old and highly-respected Sheffield , family , and the new candidate wnl undoubtedly be " Tespectably" supported , if not numerously . A requisition , has been , presented to Mr . Overend , ' signed by about 160 electors ^ out of a constiT
tuency of upwards of 5000 . His reply , consenting to be put in nomination , was received in Sheffield on Friday . Sir Watkin Williams Wynu ha ^ fienfr . a ckcular , occai .-pying''aW 3 utfourTines dfSpruit inthe Tinies , to bis constituents in Denbighshire , without offering the sli g htest explanation of his yiows for the future , and requesting them to excuse " a personal canvas in consequence of my intended marriage . " Colonel Myddfclton , Biddulph intends contesting the county , but the large-acred Baronet , notwithstanding bis laconic address , is supposed to be assured of his seat . The other member , Mr . Bagofc , is not so safe . The O' Gorman . Mahon arrived in Ennis on Wednesday evening , and met but _ an indifferent reception from the constituency . His appearance in the streets was the signal for uproar and shouting , but by some of his friends he was cordially welcomed back . ¦
The contest at Macclesfield will be between three candidates , Mr . John Brocklehurst , a silk manufacturer , banker , and Whig ; Mr . John / Williams , M . P ., in tho Reform interest ; and Mr . E . C . Egerton , a barrister , and Conservative . Mr .

There is nothing so revolutionary , because there is nothing so unnatural and convulsive , as the strain to ieep things-fixed when all the world is by the very law of its creation in eternal progress . —Db . Abitoi . d .
Much In Supplying More Information, Wher...
much in supplying more information , where , we have abundance already , as in freeing the practical opinion from a useless deference to certain notions and prejudices which prevent its effective action , and in concentrating authority upon a definite purpose . India must not be governed on fancies , or we might soon see that fancy indulged wEich inclines to throw away the Empire ; hut upon facts , and the facts show us how our rule ( may be ^ strengthened while we render the yas ^ ¦ territory dbuBly available for both Englishman and Hindu . ~
MAINTENANCE OP THE INDIAN GOVERNMENT . In spite of one-sided ceconomy and of a more onesided philanthropy , our empire in India is beneficial both to this country and to the natives . Not indeed so beneficial as it might be to either ; but recent changes have improved it for both . In spite of conflicting opinions and conflicting interests , of narrow professional or political views , on the whole the concurrent exertions of Anglo-Indians and English politicians are in the right direction ; we only want more of . the same kind . If the intended inquiry under Mr . Herries ' s committee can be of any service , it will not be so
Our dominion is based on the Indian sense ^ of our power , on our superior intelligence , and our moral force : but if we want to maintain the dominion , we must come to a distinct understanding with ourselves as to the mode in which tkose elements of strength are presented to the Indian mind . Our moral force , for example , is not based upon an appreciation of morals such as would hold good in Exeter Hall ,. or in the prelections of the professor of Moral Philosophy at Edinburgh ; but on tbe feeling in native India that we understand better than tbe Hindus
themselves tbe arts of public life , and especially tho arfc of retaining dominion and profiting by it . " John Coompany" is worshipped in a species of political demonology , as the transcendant man of business , who knows how to fill his treasury , and beat every opponent . Who knows how to bo cheated , on occasion , with a discriminating sagacity superhuman , and suited to his abstract existence . But the native appreciation of our moral force will bo strengthened and developed ' in proportion as we train tho natives to understand it . And our empire in India depends yjjon our not being stationary .
We have made some progress in tbo true direction , but only enough to show how much more we might make . By keeping tho natives only in tbo subordinate offices , however well qualified they may be , wo not only fill them with a natural exasperation , but wo compel thorn to fall back for consideration among their own race , upon their own institutions alien to ours ; and we thus keep up a sort of imperium sub impcrio hostile to an y permanent establishment of our own power . Wo might give the highest class of native talent a footing on British institutions ; what wo do is , to insist on tboir keeping , to their own . If wo attompt something different , it is in tho
sbapo of roligious missions—which do no good . Tho progress of Christianity in India is confessedly ; slow , and what appearance there is ; of ifc is mostly delusion or cant . Tho whole training of tli , e ilindu mind alienates tho race from Christianity . Its dogmata they hold to bo beneath tho notico of speculators who can display much more roiined and abstruse excogitations . Its moral is miles above their level . Tho mind indelibly moulded in caste , addictod to suttee , and onslavod to childish ceremonial , cannot comprehend the sublimity of tho faith , which , as Charles Kingsley proclaims , teaches freedom , brotherhood , and equal , rights j especially when its pioneers ore a military
