Wit iLE we hope that the stupid "No Popery" cry will be understood and disregarded by all Liberal constituencies in England, there are one or two places in which its influence is especially to Le deprecated. These are the three localities in which Liberal Ronan Catholics are themselves candidates. There is indeed a considerable dif ference among these gentlemen themselves. Sir JOHN AeTON, who renews his appeal to the electors of Bridgnorth, in Opposition to Mr. Wurrmoax, is one whom the ultramontane party of his Own Church hate worse than any protestant. The consistent and able testimony in favour of fair dealing and honest thinking is a standing accusa tion against them. They were able, by invoking superior authority, to silence his speaking in the Home and Foreign lie , ieto and in the Chronicle. But they cannot silence his addresigli to the electors of Bridgnorth, any more than they could stifle his words in Par liament. The former bear witness now to his true liberality and uprightness. He asks the borough to return him to Parliament in order that he may vote for the disestablishment of the Irish church, not as a catholic dissenter, but as a free Englishman. He desires our government in Ireland to be conducted on exactly the same prin ciples as those on which we desire to judge the government of Rome. He accepts our doctrine that the temporal power must be considered not in regard to its necessity for the spiritual wants of the Catholic Church, but in regard to its suit ability and acceptability, to the Roman people; and applying this rule at home he demands that the Irish Church shall not be maintained in deference to the abstract prin ciple of establishments, or as a bulwark to the Church of England, but that it shall be tried by the standard of its work and its advantages in Ireland. Following out this line of argument he shows that Mr. Dualism is the true ultra montanist. The sentiments of the English Pastime are applauded in the official organ of the Vatican. The supporters of a temporal supremacy for spiritual institutions are, as Sir Joux Aurox demonstrattm with equal truth and boldness, everywhere in unison. Everywhere genuine liberals are opposed to such an THE EXPRESS wir;ghtoiis iiiingEng of the this of Ron. , and of CA , ..,AIt. A Roman Catboat' preaching such dot•triutw as these may scorn to as an i ticnial). But that is not our off tir. Sir Joust At ion is so strong in his position thatthoroughly fin his invin:ea m his own church hate him they • .11not thin him out of it. Bet our concern it hint only as a politician. It is evident, in dad that the weight of Liberal argument will lin iuu n t•nsoly whon it comes front the lips of ttic horn whom true liberality is not necessarily t,, be esrocted. And Mr. WIIALLNY bo di-posed to lend a helping band to that tin tither of the Roman Catholic faith who so strongly illustrates that it is a house divided ogainst itself. The electors of Bridgnortb will, however, as we hope, elect Sir Joint Aorox from higher motives. They will welcome him as one who in politics is an Englishman like them selves—who keeps his faith in his own conscience, but who in Parliament will judge all questions that come for decision there on the broad grounds of what is best for his fellow countrymen. Sir Joint Snizox, the present member for the Isle of Wight, is one who, if not so conspicuous in the ranks of Liberal Catholicism as Sir JOHN ACTON, has yet proved his title on the same grounds to represent an English constituency. The only passage in his address in which any distinctive colour can be traced is in reference to education. - lie does not desire to supersede deno minational teaching where it is already in force, but he recognises the duty of the State to supple ment it with a national system. In this he is as liberal as probably nine-tenths of the Church of England candidates. _ Lord EDWARD HOWARD, who sat for the now disfranchised borough of Arundel, transfers his candidature to the borough of Preston. We are bound to say that he is less liberal in church matters than either of the catholic baroneta. He is opposed to any education that is not denomina tional, and he defends the temporal power in Rome, on the ground that the Romans like :t ! Mr. DISRAELI has not, we believe, made it a point in favour of the Irish Establishment that the Roman Catholics like it, but he will, perhaps, do so before he is done. At least, however, the plea implies a recognition of the only basis on which any authority can be supported, and so far we are bound to assume that, as Lord EDWARD HOWARD appeals to the majority in Ireland as ad verse to the Establishment, he would be equally ready to submit the Papacy to the poll in Rome. But Lord E. HOWARD has been on general ques tions so sound a Liberal that we are not indisposed to grudge his co-religionists such an honest expo nent of their peculiar views. If we must have Ca tholic interests or ideation regards church property, church titles, or church institutions, such as con vents and confessionals, represented in the House of Commons, it is better to have Lord E. HOWARD to expound them than only Sir Gaoaoa Bowe= or some other gentleman from Ireland or Rome. And we are disposed to think that it is better for all parties that such notions should have an expositor in the House of Commons, so as to ensure their being fairly examined and discussed, than that they should be exposed to one-sided attack or subjected to legislation without being fully understood. But we may fairly expect that the consequence of the act of justice we are resolved to deal to Ire land will be the heaviest blow to ultramontaniam that it has ever yet experienced. It has grown up and flourished on the semi-persecution to which Catholicism has been subjected. When a stigma was placed on the creed of nearly the whole nation the inevitable consequence was to throw it for support on some external power—and such a power was found in Papal pretensions to civil authority. It was a point of honour to support the priests, when the prie..ts had to contend at such disadvantage with their endowed opponents. Supporting the priests meant sympa thising with the priests, and sympathy led to guidance by them, and guidance by them resulted in the setting up of Rome as the refuge, the ar biter, the ruler of those whom Britain oppresqisl. Well then may the Roman organs deprecate that act of justice which will most surely sap their power. With the administration of equal justice among the subjects of the Querns will revive loyalty to the QUEEN. With removal of the badges of supremacy in one party will abate the cohesion of the other party. Where Roman Ca tholicism is dealt fairly with as a religion it is not suffered by its adherents to influence their conduct as members of the State. This is the re sult which we hope to see reached ere long among the Roman Catholics of Ireland and their fellow religionists of England. We sball welcome it when it comes, but we must all the more welcome those who have already had the strength of mind and clearness of vision to distinguish the claims of authority from those of reason, and in matters of politics to be Englishmen before they are Roman Catholics. This is the position, more or less pro nounced, of all the Catholics who are at present appealing to English constituencies, and therefore we wish thew success as heartily as we are very sure the Court of Rome longs to Lear of their defeat.

Our contemporary, they Daily Telegraph, with $ chateeteristically shrewd eye to the rowdy as well as the respectable interest, had, with its usual ingenious felicity, anticipated Mr. Ooss's parting protest. " The professional boxer," it said yesterday morning, "need not be a " ruffian ; but there has been a general irruption of " blackguardian into the ring, and the scamps, to " use an appropriate phrase, have ' out the " rotes.' Boxing itself ought, in the opinion " of many judicious people, to form a part of every "man's physical education. Even in these en lightened days attempts at robbery with violence " are not altogetherunknown, nor arebrutalsttacks • "upon women to be considered entirely as things "of the past. There niust,•therefore, be /sinks " sionsls to teach it, and it has often been argued, " with afair show of reason, that these professionals " must themselves establish their prowess by some " thing more serious than a glove fight." Our oontemporary, it will be observed, abounds in the sense of Mr. GOBS. who had probably read with pleasure and profit its discriminating remarks before he addressed Sir THOMAS HENRY in the Police court. We should be as sorry as Mr. Goss and the Daily Telegraph can be to see the use of the fists superseded by the knife ; but we have never been able to understand why the noble art of self-defence by the arms which nature has provided should not be taught without those periodical exhibitions of brutality and that organisation of ruffianism which have no more to do with the use of the fists than the betting ring, with its parasitical excrescences of welchers and touters, with the racing or breeding of horses. THE END OF THE PRIZE RING. Lamr.nut the Prize Ring is, if we may be allowed the expression, on its last legs in this country, the classic land of that noble sport. It attained its apotheosis in that memorable " in " ternational " encounter between Mr. THOMAS SAYERS and Mr. JOILN HELNTAN t at which the ails of all ranks and classes of English society assisted, and which was celebrated by some of our contem poraries in columns of rich and resonant prose, which only wanted rhythm to be worthy of Pumas. The victor of that combat was saluted on the Stock Exchanges of London and Liverpool with the rewards of a triumphant (leneral;with rounds of cheers, with purses full of gold, with testimonials in plate, in short with all the honours which a WXLIZIOTON or a NAP= of MAon.u.s could desire or expect. Success alas ! which has been fatal to so many illustrious reputations, hastened, it is to be feared, the end of Mr. THOMAS SATzns ; and with the public funeral, and the visit of innu merable pilgrims from Whitechapel and more dis tant countries, to the little room in which the great man's furniture and clothes were treasured as the relics of a saint, the fate of the institution which his career had sanctified was sealed. From that day the Legislature, society, the press, the railway companies have cruelly deserted the profession en nobled by Mr. Tnowes &Tim. And yesterday, in the Bow -street Polioo-court, the glory of the Ring was finally blown upon by the magistrate, and went out in a splutter. Not without a certain saddened dignity, however, on the part of the last aspirant to the fame of Dias and Ezrriuxus. Flir THOMAS HENRY, addressing the proposed bail for JOBEPII 0088, the pugilist who stood en gaged to fight with ALLEN for the championship and 2001. a side, observed— " That it was the duty of all detective officers, if any prize fight waa contemplated, at once to apply for war- A CONSERVATIVE TRIO. ON the eve of a general election trifins assume importance. For example, it is noteworthy that three at least of the heroes of the Credit Foncior of England, Mr. STUART WORTLEY, Mr. ALBERT GRANT, and Mr. Smear Lent belong to the groat Conservative party, the defenders of the Throne, the Church, and the Constitution, the denounoors of Mr. 01..verroxa's policy of " confiscation" in Ireland. Mr. STUART WORTLEY, so far as we are aware, is not among the candidates in the coming electoral contest : for the present he reposes on his just and moderate share of " commission profits" in another field of public service. Nor is Mr. ALBERT GRAlred can didature "on the carpet" at Kidderminster. 11l health and the ingratitude of shareholders have compelled him to renounce the chairmanship of a board and a seat in Parliament at once. Re will not again appeal to the enlightened suf frages of the free and independent consti tuency of Kidderminster, and the bench in the Rouse of Commons from which be once patronized and pitied Mr. Otenerofts will know him no more. But Mr. Ikrusair LANZ, who has come forward to declare that he is " perfectly ready, and most anxious, to make good " any overpayment (of commission profits) to the " fullest extent," presents himself us a Consti tutionalist and a Conservative to the electors of Plymouth ; and if any stray shareholder of the Credit Foncier should appear before hint, B.L.voro like, " with no speculation in his eyes," at the hustings. Mr. SIUALT LA-NE will be perfectly justile•d in asking him what sort of security he expected for his money, when he was pocketing inter(st at the rate of •l 0 or 50 per cent., and a ski ng n o queqions about the profits of the dime tot -. - - .41'OSTLE OR lIERGYX.IN 1r has been curious to note in the newspaper discussions which have been going on with but little interruption for two years about sermons and preachers of sermons how seldom what may he called the " Evangelical idea of the preacher's function has emerged. In strict ness, that idea is not the property of the party loosely called evangelical, but this adjoctive will answer the purpose of identification very well. It is not the apostolic-succession idea, by itself ; nor is it the professional idea at all ; it is, in truth, a high-supernatural idea. THREE years ago Mr. SAMUEL CARTER HALL invited the admirers of LEIGH Et - Yr—the poet, essayist, and critic—to raise an " unpretending " monument oN e-.• his grave in Kensal-green Ceme tery. The appeal wits responded to, 'and the list of subscribers included many names of highest re putation in the literary world. Nevertheless, for some unaccountable reason, the effort was allowed to flag. We are now informed that the subscrip tions paid or promised amount to about 70!., and that it has been determined to make a public " ap " peal for the remainder of the money, MOO The execution of the monument, a bust and a pedestal, is confided to Mr. Journ DrituAm. It could not be in better hands; but the dilatoriness of the whole proceeding hitherto, almost forbids us to hope that it will be promptly executed. If 70/. can be found in three years, how long will it take to produce 80!.? LEIGH rltrxr's best monu ment is in his books, a few of which deserve a permanent place in English literature ; but it seems a curious retribution that the memory of a poet who was remarkable through life for indif ference to money should be allowed to suffer for the lack of a few pounds. Surely, in this case, if in any, the gracefulness of the tribute depends upon the promptitude with which it is paid. Tin Loki) Hartazirr Dimwittax.

T I BRIT= 111111111118 IX SZLOIOX. The death of Lord Howard de Walden, the representa tive of England at the Court of Brumeis, gives occasion to the Morning !bat to impress on the Foreign-office the im. portance of economy. It points out that Wu H. Butwo; Lord Stratford de Radcliffe, Sir James Hudson, Mr. W. D. Christie, Sir A. Male; Mr. Searlett, and Mr. Percy Doyle, are on the diplomatic pension list and unemployed, and that they are all capable of work. Now that economy has become a national cry, it is a public duty to follow up Mr. Lebow:here's admonitions, which found favour with the House of Commons, and to press on Lord Stanley and the Foreign-office the duty of utilising some of the idle pensioners of diplomacy. The 7Liogroph, remarking on the position of affairs on the Continent, Pays it is not unnatural that the Belgians should view with alarm any incident which may possibly lead to differences with France, and that they should be anxious to have in the representative of England at their court a man of tact and ability. On this aooount, if for no other reason, Belgium will have heard of Lord Howard's death with deep regret, and will emulously wait to learn who is to succeed the late minister in his arduous lam• TOTS DT BALLOT. The Sls, regrets that Mr. Hughes, the member for Lam beth, is not an advocate for the ballot. It cannot under stand how he, of all men, Drought, Al be is, into nation ship with all classes of society, can fail to see that the ballot is the one only thing which can protect the poorer voters against the temptation of a bribe, the force of inti midation, or the pressure of an Influence which is really intimidation or coercion in another form. It looks to find lie. Hughes, one day among its supporters. The Doily -Vries takes occasion of Earl Russell's letter to his Irish tenantry—allowing them to vote as they please—to ask what is the difference between the direct offer of a bribe and the indirect threat of a penalty I' What is the landlord who seeks to influence his tenants in the discharge of their political trust better than the speculator who seeks to influence • juryman in the discharge of the trust committed to him Y The offence' belong to the same category, and it is only the familiarity of the one and the infrequency el the other which make society regard them differently. Land lords cannot too soon learn that their rights over their property do not in the present day extend to individuals who reside upon it. The tenant is as much a citizen as his landlord ; hi+ vote is a trust committed to him by the state, and the state must protect him in the exercise of it. The landlonl's rights are exactly stated by Earl Russell, and the •• grave iK•litical offence whia h so many land lords are guilty must have a penalty attaehed tai it, if such a protection of the electoral tru4 appears to be needful.

THE QUE.t.TION OF FEMALE St - Trasor.—Mr. Sidney Smith, Secretary of the City of London Liberal Registration Association, in a letter to the Mow makes the following remarks on the difficult question of the claims of women to vote at parliamentary election? :--.• Overseers are not professional interpreters of acts of parliament. Their business is to ' follow their nose,' obey the plain words of their instructions. The Re gistration act (section 13) directs them to make out 'an alphabetical list of all persons entitled to vote . . in respect of the occupation of premises." Women arc jorsous,' and if they ' occupy premises they reasonably come within the category of the clause. The precept sent to them by the town clerk is to the same effect. I maintain that unless an objection affords the revising barrister the opportunity of raising the question of ' legal incapacity,' he has no right whatever to expunge the names, which can only be done, in the absence of objection, where the ' qualiffiation, us described on the list,' is ' sufficient in law.' Once on the register without objection, the returning officer can not refuse to record the vote ; and thus will be commenced the innovation that ultimately will carry the question of female sufrage.- THE METROPOLITAN ELECTIONS.—It appears (says the Ii at) that all the arrangements have been made for the city of London and the metropolitan boroughs, end it is not likely that many more candidates will be added to the already very ample het.

Cue bevel Ciarigny, an old and tried servant of the present government, and who is yet above all things dynastic, writes in the Freese that it is impossible for any sincere friend of the Empire to read without pain the report of the trial at Nimes of M. Lacy-Ouillon and others for holding an electoral meeting. It was a " lamentable spec tacle " to see a commissary of police denying through thick and thin the testimony of scores of respectable vritnetthes, and fancying he was thereby serving the Emperor. The Freese takes it to be in contestably established that nobody was voluntarily admitted to the meeting at Nimes who had not received a personal invitation, and that if the meeting had ultimately a public character, it was only because certain persons without tickets entered the room in the wake of the police, who, by their own admission, "pushed and elbowed" their way in. Even assuming that when the police got in they saw evidence sufficient to ground a prosecution for an illegal meeting:why did they not retire and make their report to the proper authorities It was wholly unnecessary to send for the military. The shocking result was that ten citizens were knocked down by the butt end of muskets, and one received a bayonet wound which may yet prove mortal. The Slams judges were evidently greatly embarrassed by the case so injudiciously forced upon them by the administra tion. They could find no corpus delicti, and were driven to judge a phantom. They ignored most of the arguments for the prosecution, but grounded the conviction upon the novel distinction that a private meeting can only be held in the actual domicile of the person who calls it, and not in a locality hired for the purpose. This doctrine is quite contrary to the authorised affirmation of M. Vuitry, who, in the character of Minister presiding at the Council of State, said in the Corps Li•gislatif on August 1, 1563, that every citizen would always have a right to assemble as ninny electors as he pleased, •' either in his own house or in any private locality." Whatever may be the strict law that a court of appeal may lay down, the Freese holds it lamentable that the uuthorit ies should have put the law in motion at such a time as this to restrict electoral liberty, and it exclaims :—•• The empire has nothing to fear from open enemies, but may God pmserve it from some of its prefects." A prosecution has been conimence.l in the same department of the Gard against M. de Larry. an opposition candidate. for holding. an eleetoral meting by special invitation in his own private house in Alais, where he has for years lived with his family. In this case the judges cannot avail themselves of the NiMi`4 prooslent, and mu,t find sonic other pretext fur a conviction. M. Fitstoureau, the Fillet t of the Indre et L.,ire, who has just obtained o .11 kt :I Zrl 111 the I•'igare of Paris, and several provinetd journals. for a libel in stating that he, when prefect of the Var, in December, 1551, had shot a rebel without trial. and finding that he was not killed the first time. brought him out and shot him again two days later. now writes a long letter to M. Eugene Polletan, the deputy, for publication in the Tribune, plea/ling au alibi, and also that at the time mentioned the department was in a state of siege, and that General Levaillant concentrated all civil and military powers in his own hands. I as sume M. Pastourcau's assertion that the statement. is false •e so far as he is concerned," to be strictly true. But it would have been far better for all parties, himself included, if he had given these full explanations at first. instead of instituting prosecutions which prove nothing. The prefect now places General Levail lant in an awkward position, because the fact stated is too notorious to be denied. M. Pastou reau does deny it, but only says it was a gross calumny to impute it to him ; and, moreover, that the historical work of M. Tenot on the coup adopting. in regard to this incident, the contem porary statement of un eye-witness, M. merely said that the man was twice shot by the " authorities." Authority at that time was not anonymous, and now that M. Tenot's work has stimulated inquiry into the his-tory of the coup (raid, it ran hardly fail to be found out what " authority" was responsible fur a fact which M. Pastoureau not only repudiates but stigmatises as disgraceful. The legal journals announce that a prosecution has been commenced against M. Paul de Cassag nac, and of course the seconds on both sides, on account of the duel at Vesinet. M. Paul de Cas sagnac has alreadylbeen condemned both for duel ling and private libels, but the practice hitherto has been for the Emperor to pardon bins. He has never yet been in prison. The Bourse closed with much firmness under the influence of M. Magne's toast to peace at Porigneux. Bente rose 10c. for cash and for account, closing at 70fr. 80e. and 70fr. 8.50.
