It Railway, Mining, and other Shares ; Sporting, and General Intelligence, EVERY EVENING. LONDON, FRIDAY, OCT. 16. MR. 311 LL AND MR. BOUVERIE. IT must be admitted, we think, that Mr. Bor -SERIE has the better of Mr. MILL in the little cor respondence between them relative to Mr. CHAD lynx's appearance at Kilmarnock. The truth is that the reasons at which Mr. MILL hints are far more weighty than the reasons he states in full. " In regard to the matter of sowing dissensions "among the Liberal party," he tells Mr. Boxrvnut, who had charged him with doing this by his recommendation of Mr. CHAD WICK to the electors, " I could say a great " deal which I am sure would meet with " sympathy in the advanced portion of it " at least." A man cannot be judged only by his votes, and it is impossible to deny that Mr. BOCVERIE has not always exerted the infiu enoe which naturally belongs to a politician of his standing for the good of the Liberal party. We hold, therefore, that any one who disputes Mr. BOUVEItIIf a right to represent a really Liberal constituency is perfectly justified in contesting his seat. It will be for the electors to decide whether their former representative has forfeited his claim to their suffrages. Mr. MorTeasz's inability " to understand how the " great objects of the Liberal party can be " achieved if dissensions and divisions are to be " promoted among them by those who are pro " raiment in their ranks," we entirely share; but we can hardly regard it as a safe point for him to raise. For the ground on which Mr. MILL elects to rest his defence there is much less to be said. lie waives the question whether Mr. Borvenis is or is not a genuine Liberal, and justifies his inter vention on behalf of Mr. Csianwmx on the score of his personal merits. His position is. " that it is much to be desired that every con " stitueney should consider, not merely whether " a man will do to represent it, but whether he is " the best man to be had." This theory can only be maintained by the aid of two sweeping qualifi catiosis. In the first place it ought only to apply to cases where, for some good reason, the consti tuency wishes to part from its present member. Buppoaing the electors of Kilmarnock to be dissatisfied with Mr. Boy - ream on political grounds it is certainly " much to be desired" that they should transfer their support to the best available candidate. But Mr. MILL's advice, if taken in the broad way in which ho offers it, would turn a general election into a game of puss in the corner on a great scale. Every constituency would be scrambling for the few foremost men in the party to which the majority of the voters happened to belong, and there would be no longer any securitythat long and steady service in Parlia ment would meet with its due reward. The most consistent Liberal would hold his seat by the sufferance of all the members of his party whose names might be more popular than his own. Granting, that in some respects, Mr. Cmsnwicx has not his equal in Europe, it would surely be pomade to find a seat in contesting Which ho would be fighting the common enemy; or, at worst, displacing an unknown friend. We say this, it must be remembered, on the hypothesis that Mr. Bonvekies career has been such as to command the confidence of the Kilmarnock Liberals, and an argument put in this form implies no opinion as to the truth or falsehood of the assumption on which it rests. The other limitation we should append to Mr. MILL'S statement is that some re gard should be paid to electioneering tactics. If, for example, there are two constituencies, either of which can return an eminent Lils•rul, while one of them can return no Liberal who is not eminent, it will obviously be desirable that the eminent man in question should sit for the latter. Otherwise the result will very probably be the return of a Conservative, when, by judicious management, the seat might have been saved for the Liberals. A practical consequence of this consideration is that doubting electors should go for advice in these matters rather to the recognised party managers than to individual members, however distinguished. Mr. MILL'S opinion upon the abstract merits of a candidate will always deserve serious consideration. But upon the merits of this or that candidate in refe rence to this or that constituency we confess that we would rather have Mr. Gum's. THIEVES' NOVELS. BULWILIeII " Paul Clifford," and Anwswoads's " Rookwood" and "Jack Sheppard" (in the former of which Dick Turpin was a prominent figure), set the fashion for thieves' novels, and infected the literature of the humbler orders with a taint of romantic felony. Mr. Thome'. " Oliver Twist," though dealing with the same elements, had no such influence, because it repre sented Saffron-hill life in its tree colours and natural repulsiveness, and was totally devoid of that false hue of heroism, gallantry, adventure, and enjoyment which belonged to the other pro ductions. It cannot be questioned that Mr. Aussworre's brightly-tinted and sentimental chronicles of the ride to York, and of the doings of Jack Sheppard, have done incalculable mischief, not only by their own action, but by the numerous imitations to which they have given rise. Not very long ago a boy was examined at Worship-street on a charge of theft from his employers, and it appeared that ho was in the habit of reading "Tales of Highwaymen, or Life on the Roads," and other books of a similar character. This week, in the story from Newbury, we see the same evil influence at work. We arc probably not as suming too much in taking it for granted that " Captain Hawk" has been seduced into a criminal career by the vile works ho has been in the habit of reading. He had a trade by which be could have supported himself, and he was of " harmless appearance "—that is to say, he was not a born ruffian. Tho specially dangerous ope ration of these tales of felony is that, by a delibe rate falsehood, which the authors know to be such, they create a romantic ideal, calculated to satisfy the vague love of adventure and aspiration after the heroic which possesses many youthful minds. The feeling is not altogether a bad one; but the writer of felon fiction deliberately directs it into the foulest of channels, and stimulates it into a morbid and criminal passion. Some of these stories actually contain elaborate arguments, seeking to prove that respect for law is a mere convention ality, invented for their own selfish advantage by well-to-do hypocrites ; and the foolish lads who read this species of literature are led to think that idleness and marauding arc the height of noble ness. Sciimeea's play of The Robbers is said to have infected half the youth of Germany with a bandit mania; and some of our English authors seem to have produced a similar effect. The evil, however, is becoming too serious to be left without a remedy. --e As Mr. GLuncroNs has been likened to the Devil, we must not be surprised to find Mr. MILL, by imputation, a minor demon. Mr. P. MERRICK Holum, one of the Conservative candidates for Southampton, has addressed a long letter to the electors of that borough to explain his views on public affairs. In one part of it he says : " I must once more cite the high autho " rity of Brnxx, who says what is singularly " relevant to the matter under consideration— " ' Nothing can be conceived more hard than the " heart of a thoroughbred metaphysician. It " comes nearer to the cold malignity of a wicked " ' spirit than to the frailty and passion of man.' " Mr. JOHN STUART MILL, despite all his learning " and logic, might do well to meditate on this." When Tory candidates begin to look into their libraries for quotations by which to describe the "hearts" of their opponents, they are in stress alike of wit and of taste. But they illustrate the term—" the stupid party." Tnz GINERAL ELECTION.—We have reason to believe that the writs for the approaching elections will be issued on the 11th of November. In this case the borough elections will take place on Monday and Tuesday, the fah and 16th, and the county elections on the 18th and 20th. THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 16, lB6B. TIIB run J. MICHAS AND HIS BISHOP. A correspondence which was published in the TiOdel this morning gives a little further insight into the relations which exist between the Rev. J. Purchas, of Brighton, and his ecclesiastical superiors in the diocese of Chichester. On the let inst. the bishop wrote to Mr. Perches with respect to the ritualistic eccentricities prac tised in St. James's Chapel, and declared that the Illegal proceedings imputed to the rev. gentle man were of so grievous a nature as to compel his lordship to refer the charges to a legal tribunal. In the meantime he inhibited ;Mr. Purchas from preaching and from taking any part in the celebration of divine service within the diocese. Mr. Purchss's reply was that although he and the bishop might differ on mere points of ritual, no charge of illegality could be proved against him ; that the accounts published in the Times were "distorted," and that, with respect to the inhibition, the bishop misappre hended his position in the diocese, which was not that of a licensed curate, but of the incumbent of a benefice. The rev. gentleman also requested an interview that he might learn with more certainty of what he was accused. Then the vicar of Brighten, the Rev. H. M. Wagner, ap pears on the scene with an intimation in writing to Mr. Purchas that, in obedience to the bishop's authority, he had acquainted the clerk or verger of his intention to officiate on the following day (Oct. 4), assisted by two of his curates; that the services would be conducted " with all simplicity ;" and that to avoid giving pain to the rev. gentleman's feelings or disturbing the mind of the congregation, no allusion would be made to the cause of his appearance there. Mr. Wagner intimates, in a postscript, that he has " desired Mr. Yates to place in the vestry the floral decorations, and not make use of lights in the morning service." Mr. Purchas, of course, replied immediately to this letter, stating that, pending the reply of the bishop to his previous communication, he should take the services himself, and, therefore, the vicar might spare himself the trouble of making any further arrangements with regard to his (Mr. Purchas's) church. Then comes the bishop's reply, in which ho de clines acceding to the rev. gentleman's request for a per tonal interview, but promises to "carefully peruse and fully consider any statement or explanation" Mr. Purchas may see tit to address to his lordship in writing. Mr. Purchas's answer is a declara tion that he has no explanation to give beyond what he hub already given, viz., that the only irregulari ties of which he was conscious were omissions of certain non -essential parts of the service, occasioned by sudden and revere indiepo,rition, which also compelled him to make use of the a mires of one of the choir; "but," he adds, "having clerical help lest Sunday, this was happily unnecessary, and I think I may promise this shall not occur again." That communication, which was written on the Rh instant, did not evoke any episcopal reply, and Mr. Purchas hardly think, that the bishop 'A silence is " quite paternal."

WI SWINDELL TALYES FOIL OSSORD Looking to the lame of the contest between Mr. Mowbray and Sir Roundoll Palmer for the seat made savant by the resignation of Sir W. Heathcote, the Mom observes that the former will be well supported by those all-believing people who still trod in conservative pre miers and Mr. Disraeli in particular, by the majority of the country clergy, and by the compact body of l/11 changeable@ slowly melting away amid the warmer cur rent@ of academic society. Sir Roundel Palmer will have the great majority of residents—near three-fourths, it is said—a good contingent from the clergy, and the bulk of his own profession. It is impossible, our contemporary says, to speak of either candidate except in the highest terms; for either would fully maintain the credit of a most honourable roll. As for the constituency itself, Oxford is at once most progressive and most obstruc tive. and, were it not for the mid-party that always comes when it is wanted, would often have found itself at a dead-look. It becomes either the rock a statesman splits upon, or the living tomb of some excellent man who is not a statesman, and has to renounce that character. Sir lloundell Palmer would, however, represent the whole comtituency of Oxford better than any partisan, for he is not • partisan, but • man of singularly independent character and °pintos& Be has already in parliament expreesed opinions that would oppose • great, if not insuperable, bar to any *E clat connexion with the liberal leader in the Commons, and nobody has sacrificed more to independence and the sacred right of private judgment in political matters. ma. OL&DOTONI . 11 roucry. Reviewing Mr. Gladstone's reform speech in Liverpool, the Deily News remarks that the information given by the right hon. gentleman with respect to the future is of the wantiest kind. The restoration of the attainted com pounder to all his privileges, an incidental expression of distaste for the minority clause of the bill of 1867, and, less wisely, of • still unconquered, but not, we trust, invincible, aversion for the ballot, make up all the prospective part of the Liverpool speech. tin future occasions, however, Mr. Gladstone will doubt less speak to his constituent& ou subjects on which as yet ho has been silent, or has only made short and inexplicit declarations. The relations of labour and capital in England, and of landlord and tenant in Ireland, popular education, the position of nonconformists in the univer sities, the organisation of representative boards of finance in the counties, administrative reform, foreign policy, our Plan of national defences, the military education, and the system of purchase in the army—all these are topics, a few out of many, on which he is bound to speak, with prudence and reserve it may be, but stall with a clear in dication of principles and tendency. Thu Nereid asks whether the Liberal party is prepared to seize the property of Irish landlords and give it, under certain conditions, to the present tenants ? For that, it says, is what, according to Mr. Gladstone's declaration, he must propose to do. Can any man, with the slightest sense of justice or the faintest knowledge of the condition of Ireland, vote for a man who would cure her evils by driving away all her capital and intelligence ? At all events, those who support Mr. Gladstone will not be able to argue, when he brings forward his scheme for altering the unjust laws of property in the United Kingdom, that he concealed from them his views. TEE CITE ELECTION. Speculating upon the operation of the minority clause, the Post observes that the difficulties with which the ma jority have to contend in the city of London. in order to retain their present ascendency, are not so serious. and the discredit will be all the greater if it permits, solely by mis management (fur the conservatives assuredly do not amount to three-reveuths of the constituency) one or more of its seats to be filled by men who do not represent the opinions of the majority of the citizens. TUE co-ors:um* NOVKICIINT. The Star says that the history of co-operative produc tion is not so encouraging u that of co-operative distribu tion, and is afraid that some time will elapse before it will be possible to realise the ideal of co-operative production cn the grand scale contemplated by some of its promoters. The extension of co-operative distribution is, however, at tended with little hazard, and is obviously and directly beneficial to the working classes. To th;s method of en terprise the working men may lend support with advantage to themselves and to the community. TUX ammo sznahey. The Tows points; out that one of the objects of Mr. Burlinghame's appointment is to train the natives asso ciated with him to the habits of European diplomacy. U he abstain from all interferenoe with political intrigues in which China can have no healthy or natural interest ; if ho act as though there could be no separate national in terests in Europe and America, as indeed there are not, so far aa their relations with China are concerned ; and if he accept it as the primary function of his mission to discover and explain what are the best lines of trade both for China and the western countries, he will have accomplished much for China and something for the rest of the world. _ MN Court.

Accept, along with all your colleagues, the repression of my sincere regard, and reckon on the madame of your devoted servant, BALDAIZIO Beramruno. RUSSIA. A NEW MOVEMENT. The return of the Emperor Alexander and Prince Gortchakoff to St. Petersburg has been fol lowed by meetings of the council of the Empire under the presidency of the Grand Duke Constan tine. The following letter in the Gazefa Narodova makes known the chief subject of discussion among Russian statesmen : It le beginning to be seriously apprehended here that the Ukraine will become troublesome. This question, com bined with that of the Muscovite Germans, constitutes the principal topic of the moment. The Russian Government dreads lest Austria should raise the question of the Ruthe nian nationality, including Little Prussia, the Ukraine, Volhynia, Podolia, and White Russia. In that case twelve millions of the Ruthenian population of Muscovy will turn their eyes towards Austria, and then indeed will commence the fall of Holy Russia. It is not the phantom of Poland which now disquiets the Muscovites; this was, they my, long since interred, and the monument of fallen Poland has been raised at Rapperschwyll ; it is the phantom of the Ukraine, with its Cossacks and the memorable treaty of Persiaslavi,by which the Muscovy of Catherine guaranteed the privileges and the national rights of the Ukraine, that forces reflection on the Russian government at the present moment. It is on this ride that the horizon begins to darken. The storm might easily burst in this direction, and hurl down all the artificial scaffolding which is called the Russian monarchy. Assuredly Austria, if she under stood and knew how to avail herself of this question, might entirely dispose of the future of Muscovy. It she can but take it in hand and deal with it skilfully she will become the mistress of the situation in the east. AUSTRIA. The twenty-one provincial diets of Cis-Leithan countries of the Austrian empire are now closed, and the general diet, the Reichsrath, will shortly commence. Some uneasiness exists respecting the imperial decree which attributes to the govern ment the power, in case of urgency, of tempo rarily suspending constitutional liberties in these provinces. The details of this ordinance arc so elastic that in the hands of a reactionary minister the constitution might be endangered. (1113011011 ILIUTILIiII 4010tClf.) SPAIN. MADRID, Ocr. 15.

I am told that the King whom General Prhn has in pito for Spain is no other than the Saxe Coburg prince the father of the King of Por tugal. Count Oirgenti, whose whereabouts was for many days a mystery, has turned up in Paris, and has carried off his young wife to Pau to be near her mother, Isabella. The revolutionary junta of Seville has authorised the Minister of the Uhited States to build a pro testant church in that city. Now is the time for enterprising young parsons in search of cures to go out to Spain, where hitherto no public preach ing of any religion but the Roman catholic has been tolerated. The Emperor and the court will leave Biarritz for St. Cloud on Saturday. On Tuesday there is to be a council, to which all the ministers are sum moned. There is a confident expectation, founded no doubt upon some official indications, that next week the Emperor will issue an im portant manifesto, indicating his home and foreign policy. All sorts of rumours are afloat on this subject. Constitutional government and a frankly pacific declaration are talked of. The government papers allege that disarmament has already begun on the French side. But if it be true, se suggested in many quarters, that the Emperor means to propose disarmament to Prussia, there is considerable reason to fear that the over- tore, certain to be refused, will only make war more imminent than it wee before. There is great talk of a now map of France to be published by the Emperor's orders, showing the boundaries of France at three epochs : 1815, 1832, and 1868. As to the object of the publica tion there are diametrically conflicting rumours, some saying that the Emperor means to show (which seems to me very unlikely), that France is in no way damaged by the aggrandisetnents of Italy and Prussia, and others, on the contrary, that the changes create a right to a rectification of her frontiers. The Opinions Nationale affirms, in spite of all denials, that an offensive and defensive alliance between France and Holland is a fait accompli ; that although the new ministry is less favourably disposed towards French policy than its predeces sors, it is ready to accept the responsibility of the alliance, the terms of which will only be made public in the event of a conflict. The Bourse was extremely firm, the purchases "recommended" by M. Maple (as the Constien tioimel admits) by the Bank of France and the great credit societies, to support the market, being backed by political rumours of a most favourable nature concerning the policy which the Emperor is expected to develop next week. Recite rose l sc. for cash and 22c. for account, closing at the highest prices of the day, 69fr. 95e. and 69fr. 97e. Mobi lier fell 2fr. 50e. There was not much change in other securities. A Paris journal states that Malakoff was a cordmaker of the RUMiall Beet in the Black Sea. After being discharged for drunkenness, he opened a cabaret at the top of the hill to which was given his name, since shared by General rebuke.. The Duke d'Attmale is about to publish a pamphlet on the Battle of Sadowa, in which he pleads extenuating circumstances for the vanquished Henedek. The Paris journal the C/orhe extracts from Baron Pelet's work entitled "The Opinions of Napo leon," the following words of the first emperor : "I might have publicly executed the Duke d'Enghien. If I did not do so it was not from fear, but to avoid giving occasion to the secret partisans of the family to rise and ruin themselves." The Temps suggests that after this explanation there is nothing to prevent M. (Jerome from exhibiting, in 1849, the shooting of the young prince at night, under this title, " Fine trait of Humanity in the Emperor Napoleon." _ _ The Chinchu guano islands are 100 miles from the Peruvian coast. The coast of guano was originally 140 feet thick, but it is considerably reduced, and will ere long be completely removed. There are about 1,000 persons employed in the guano workings, nearly eighty of whom are constantly engaged in shipping it. The islands wore seriously affected by the great earthquake in August. The chief island rocked like • ship. The inhabitants rushed to the church, and in their fright they knocked down the altar and destroyed its adornments. The few English inhabitants tried to control the panic but failed to do so. CD:EMVBTOWN, OCT. 16.—The National Steam ship Company's steamer Pennsylvania, from Liverpool, arrived here last night, and having embarked passengers this morning, proceeded for New York. All well. THE FORTHCOMING CONVENTION OF BISHOPS. —lt is feared that in consequence of the law's delays, the four bishops awaiting consecration—Peterborough, Bom bay, Grafton, and Maritsburg—will not be able to be consecrated on All Saint's Day, the Ist of November, as originally intended. The ceremony will probably not take place until Monday, the 30th of November, St. Andrew's Day. THE MARQUIS OF LORNE ON ITALY.—On Tuesday night the Marquis of Lorne delivered the opening lecture of a course got up under the auspices of the Greenock Young Men's Christian Association, in the Town Hall, Greenock. The subject of the lecture was " Italy in October, 1867," on which the young marquis discoursed for nearly two hours, during which he was listened to with deep attention. At the close a cordial vote of thanks was given to the lecturer, who moved a vote of thanks to the provost for presiding. LORD NAPIER OF MAOUALA ON PRAYER.— Yesterday, at a meeting of the Evangelical Union. held at Exeter-hall, General Burrows related the following anecdote of Lord Napier, which had come under his notice :—" Years ago," said Lord Napier, "in Edin burgh, I happened to read one of your delightful authors —a w riter who, I believe, is very popular among you—l speak of Hugh Miller. I well remember a description there given of a awns which happened one stormy night. The mother of Hugh Miller was sitting in the house of a minister, and being terrified by one of the fiercest gusts of the storm, she ran to the minister's door, and knocking at it said, Come and let us pray for theta that are at sea, and they knelt down and prayed. Her husband, who commando' a small coasting vessel, was out at sea that night, and d ring a tremendous gust of the storm, a mighty wave u submerged the barque, which struggled as though she would never ries again, but at length she with difficulty emerged to the surface, and the father of Hugh Miller, who was at the wheel with his mate, said, as soon as he could recover his breath, ' There must have been a code soul praying for us this night.' " " I felt," said Lord Napser, " that those poor Abyminian captives, as they breathed** epee air sitar peasia4 the gates of Magda* might have acid, ' There are many good souls praZini ( for la this day.' " MAN CATHOLIC BISHOP ON RITUALISM.— On Wednesday last, Dr. Ullathorne, Roman catholic! Bishop of Birmmgham, laid the foundation stone of a new church at Bwynnerton, Staffordshire. Iu addressing diode assembled, Dr. Ullathorne said they had hoard a language and had witnessed rites and ceremonies which to many might hav=red strange, foreign, and what was termed un- ; but the self-same rites, langusge, words, ceremonial; and &aunts had burn used 700 years before by his catholic predecemor when he laid the foun dation dune of the church which ho saw before him (the parish church of Bnriertoti). There were in the church of God, and ever had been, two languages—the language of words and the language of actions, film, and ceremonies and even that community, that sect, that boil) of separa tists—the clergy of the Anglican church—who for 300 years had used all their learning and all their skill iti writing and in railing against the catholic chef's+, were now beginning to use again the language of tuition *nil cereuto- Oita. The grant body of the Anglican clergy were r'intra ducing ritual, and this was predicted 1111 l re than '2OO years ago by the illustrious Iloesuet, who said the limo would come in England when by the more force of the learning of its able men, SW by the study of the history of the church, they would come lack in numbers into the tree fold, and amongst the gentry of England the trite worship would become the habitat. Th d prediction was being fulfilled.
