Int Country.

Lord Palmerston has issued an address, an original in its way, to the accommodating constituency of Tiverton.

" Gentlemen—Permit me again to request that you will accept my best thanks for the great honour you have done me in electing me tube one of your Represen- tatives in Parliament ; and be assured that I shall strive to show myself worthy of your confidence, by a zealous performance of my public duties, and by an anxious regard for the local interests of the intelligent and active community which I have the good fortune to represent.

" The result of the general election has been to give to the Hefonners a decided and sure majority in the House of Commons, fully sufficient to secure the ascendancy of those principles of Government which you profess, and according to which you desire to see the affairs of the country administered.

"It will undoubtedly be necessary for the Reformers to remain united ; for by union among themselves, by perseverance against difficulties, and by patience under temporary delays, the Reformers of the three United Kingdoms will insure the steady progress of legislative improvement. "Ireland is the part of the empire where the greatest abuses prevail, and where the remedies are most urgently required for existing evils ; and the People

of Ireland have unequivocally demonstrated, by their present choice of Repre- sentatives, what their opinion is of the relative merits of the two opposite sys- tems of government upon which opposing capdidates have recently taken their stand.

" Gentlemen, I hope 'shortly to have the pleasure of paying my respects to you upon an occasion of public amusement, at which political differences will be laid aside, and at which party struggles will be forgotten ; and, in the mean

time, "I have the honour to be, your devoted and faithful servant,

" PALMERSTON."

The Ministerial journalists are greatly comforted by this assurance of Lord Palmerston that the Whigs have not been defeated. The

Chronicle thinks his Lordship the best possible authority on the point, being of course an entirely disinterested observer of what has been going

on at the elections. The Courier is rejoiced to learn, on "such high autho • rity, that the majority in the House is decided, and fully sufficient," &c. &c. Then, of course, the Irish Church Bill, and the Irish Municipal Bill, and the English Church-rates BIB, will be carried ; and the Courier was in error when he stated, not long since, that " no party measure of any great importance will be carried in the next session," and merely in a

fit of causeless melancholy when he feared that " the Liberals must

not expect to carry any measure of useful improvement to which the High Church and Tory party may be opposed." The scene is changed ; the prospect clears ; .Palmerston declares that the Whig majority is " de-

cided," and " sure" and " sufficient." The Whigs have a seven years' career of victory before them-
