Lord Seymour met his constituents at Totnes on Wednesday week,

for the purpose of rendering an account of his stewardship during the past session of Parliament. A dinner was given to his Lordship; at which the exposition of his Parliamentary conduct was made. He stoutly defended the Ministers, and praised " the various excellent measures' introduced by them. He said, if any doubt were entertained of the dis- position of the Government to promote and defend the liberties of the people, it would be removed by their strenuous opposition to Lord Stanley's bill for restricting the franchise of the people of Ireland. The foreign policy of the Government also came in for a share of Lord Sey- mour s admiration it was dictated, he said, by a sincere desire to pro- mote peace with all the world.
