LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 24. A SIMPLE STORY OF DOUBLE-DEALING. Otra Conservative readers will bear us witness that we had given the Patin Mumma the fullest credit for honourable intentions with regard to the Corrupt Practices Ball. To put the fairest coastruotion on the purposes of an adversary Is never impolitic, and descends no excessive gene rosity. There are eases in which it is better to be the duped than the deceiver. Our Liberal readers, however, will remember that • oar faith in the virtuous resolution of the Pain= was destined to be shortlived. On Monday last we were obliged, by the reveipt of information to which we oould not remain deaf, to warn Liberal members that " o vigorous at " tempt" was to be mode in the Mouse of Com mons." to get rid of the clause inserted on Satter- • " clay in the Elections Petitions Bill, throwing the " oacisesary expenses of candidate* upon the -con " stituencies." That same evening Mr. W. E. Fossrria asked the Pansy Mosterigt whether there IWIIII any truth in • rumour—to which, for his. mai part, he attached no credit--that the Government intended to endeavour to strike out of .ths Kleotions Petitions Bill (upon the Report) the donee throwing the payment of the returning officers' expenses upon the borough and county rats.. • The PREMISS declined to reply to en inquiry which he characterised as " unusual, " impedimentary, and inconvenient ; " but, being pressed by Mr. ClUorroNs, he under took to make no proposal upon the subject " without due and parliamentary " notice." On the day following we felt it our duty to point out the studious vagueness of the Paziern's assurances, and to Pit liberal members "on their guard." " Naar '` braiiiatariAlists," we wrote, " dislike the clause, " foe the reason that it will tend to admit men of " nip**e fortune into Parliament, and.so shake " " the dionopoly o f wea l t h i n deciding election.; " and .it. may, be. • they are o s l on hiting up on th e chasm of Liberal members leaving town to-day "in numbers sufficient to render practicable " a return to the old system." This was Tuesday last. Now, mark what has Till happened since. At half-past eleven on that very y Tuesday night, when the House was all hat emptiy, the Soucrroa-Gturaast. gave notice Of his inters-1, tion to move next day the omission at Mr. Few — cares clause. if an entry, by way of a poateoript, of half a dozen words in the order book to that effect at midnight can be described as " giving " notice ;" the LORD Armament having earlier in the day put clause. on the notion paper extending the Act to Scotland, and i among the rest, a clause precisely parallel tolls. Etwozrr's. It was not owing to any want of ibarp praotion on As part of the Government Mitt the . 841003- , OKSZRAL'I3 motion wan not dinistasid on Wodnoo-: day, but simply to want of titan Yesterday afternoon the Sorzorros-Onnitsst. moved the rs-• jeotion of the clause, and by aid of a vigorous Government whip and the absence of Liberal members, obtained a cheap Acid easy vic tory over the reputation of his employers and the negligence of the Opposition by a majority of 20 in a House of 214. There are triumphs that destroy a Government, and victories that overwhelm a party. Mr. Fewozrr, with a courageous pertinacity which deserves to be held in honour by his oonstituents, will endeavour once more to-day, on the third reading of the Bill, to challenge a victory stolen from the tactics of the Turf, and to insist on the reinsertion of his dawn. Success against such odds he can scarcely hope for ; but the example of such persistency will not be lost. We could wish that all the credit of this vic tory belonged to the Government alone. It is impossible to acquit members on the Liberal as well as on the Ministerial side of the House of having let this obtuse be lost by their own sheer pusillanimity and want of pub lic spirit. Looking at the question as can didates rather than as representatives, these inge nuous gentlemen, as liberal in pocket as in principle, are, it seems, afraid of their constituents not liking the charge upon the rates; a charge as Mr. Fawarrr showed of half a farthing on boroughs and a quarter of a farthing on the coun ties. The dread of imposing this fearful burden on their ratepaying electors makes many of those Liberal members who were absent from the division yesterday insensible to the consideration that Mr. FeweErr's clause would do more than anything else to keep down expenditure and make electors careful in the choice of candidates. These debates, however, will not, we trust, be without their moral effect upon electors who pos sess the luxury of a conscience, who hold the exercise of the suffrage to be something more and better than a marketable privilege. The country will estimate the morality of the present adminis tration by the doctrines of the Somorron-Gatra na.. That learned functionary, speaking from his brief, treats the relation between candidate and elector as a case of " value received." He ridicules the puritanical conception of representa tives of the people performing a public duty, and describes them as coming " cap in hand" and bidding for an honour which of (*tune must be paid for. Such is the constitutional creed of the ,Tory functionary of the latest brand, the law officer of the DiansaLrrig creation. Against it, in simple justice to en old historic party ,and tradition, let us not forget to count the honesty and the honour of men like Mr. limnarr and Mr. NEWDEGATE, who have not learnt to stoop to the arts of their leader, and who object to be governed by the organised oorruption of a pluto cracy, at the service of the organised hypocrisy of " an official class." WOBDSWOBTH FOB THE FBENCH. Or the non-political journals of France, the most widely circulated is Ls Petit Journal, five centimes a number, and boasting a daily sale of 260,000 copies. The thin diet of " Tracers= " Timm" answers the purposes of Messieurs the Prefects, if it fails to satisfy the wants of the people. Of the sort of pabulum supplied, a long article, which appears in Tuesday's impression, is a seasonable specimen. M. Timm seta out with en larging upon the wisdom of reverting occasionally to the scenes of village life; to that naivete and candour of soul " which makes the young girls of " a village reeemble the lilies spoken of in Scrip " tore—simple, but striking emblems of grace and " purity." Then follows a vague allusion to an English poet, who, in obedience to the mysterious law which forbids a French journalist ever spell ing a well-known proper name of English cor rectly, is termed " WOOD-WORTH," and who the readers of the Petit Journal are told met with •" the little cottage girl" (said by the poet him self to have lived at Conway), while on his pedestrian tour through the French forests in the revolutionary period. But this is skipped over hurriedly to come to M. Tam's own experience. Three months back it seems he was staying at a village of the department of the Loiret. Mere he met a girl of twenty, having a sweet air ; a blonde with expressive eyes " that appear to close when they have seen some "thing pleasant, as if delighting to preserve the " joyous vision under those immense eyelashes." This is the Parisian version of " the simple child" of the poem : Her hair was thick with many a curl - That clustered round her head. She had a rustic, woodland air, And she was wildly clad. Her eyes were fair, and very fair. Bar beauty made me glad. But this alone would not do for the Feta 4reurnaL Some one else was by; a youth who confides to the visitor that he would like to seek the band of the fair peasant in marriage, though 40 was fatherless and without, a dowry, did he not tsar her brain was disturbed.

"Oh Iws are not all under one roof. '; There are only my mother, myself, and my four Vttle brothers, but —" and then succeeds in !mak prose a travesty of th e re pli es o f th e liglarasid,"—the chief departure from " WooD 'f IIROUTE " being in the transposition of the num ber nine far the " seven" of the poem.

ITHE WTMRLEDOM RSVIICW TO-MORROW. 1 T7lll ohief 1 Ito be held on lof Vas miliiary display munon to-morrow will _. . . losores / be oompaotnees. The review will probably be on what * by compariain a small seals; and the ocaarnandiag volunteer corps which in tend to-he present are cheerfully anticipating more work in cotteequenoe. Given a small ground and a large army, and it is obvious that the movements and changes of position must be of the amplest oha . rioter. To get ten thousand men in and out of : Hyde-park was held by the late Duke of Werztworoie to be beyond the power of modern commanders ; and though his opinion was falsified by the Volunteer Review of a few years since, there is no doubt that the aim jpleat evolittiona are the most practicable when the ;space is limited and the force large. But the re view of to-morrow will be held under preoiaely opposite conditions. The ground is ample, and the thousands assembled on it will not be so numerous as to deprive the officer command ing of fair scope. Is it too much to hope that something out of the ordinary cut and dried routine will be attempted ? The experiment would be useful to the Volunteers. It is idle to conceal that the officers having moat experience of the various corps do not compare the present oondition of the force favourably with that of seven or eight years ago. The men who have retired have not been invariably succeeded by a class equally available as military material, and the misunderstandings at Windsor, and the system upon which drill returns are habitually made up, are straws showing the direction of the wind. A few difficulties to surmount, a little whole some opposition to overcome, and a alight strain upon the military resources of the corps, would have a wonderfully bracing effect ; and we see no reason why the review of to-morrow should not be made one of the most successful yet seen. Let the opportunity afforded by the comparative smallness of the numbers to be present be properly used, and each company will be put on its mettle in a way impossible at larger gatherings. It is always permissible to introduce slight changes into a programme at the last moment if they are an improvement ; and what ia wanted, is, in a word, a brilliant and dashing well-managed spectacle which shall wipe out the memory of Windsor from men's minds. It is much to be re gretted that some of our beet-known volunteers decline to be present on the express ground of the 1 improper treatment they received, and the incon siderate oonunente they were subjected to after the ' display last month. OPENING OP THE , TRAMES &MBANK- KENT. THE Thames Embankment will be formally opened to the public next Thursday. All whose business or pleasure has taken them across the river during the last few days, must have observed 'the rapid progress made by the workmen engaged between the Temple and Westminster Bridge. A long row of rough wooden uprights, ranged behind the parapet and the lions'-heads, by the Adelphi and past Somerset House, hasfirst caught the atten tion. A nearer inspection shows that those mark out the line of pavement which is new nearly laid down. A small patch near Water loo Bridge is the only part of the footway unpaved this morning ; and this will be finished long before Thursday. There is no handsomer pavement in the world. It is broad, level, regular ; and the graceful sweep with which it follows the river-line combined with its ex tent and workmanship give a singular sense of beauty to the eye. Let any reader who wishes to see this portion of the Embankment to advantage, stand at the northern end of Waterloo bridge and look towards Hungerford and West minster. He will see how noble is the space re claimed from the river, and how practically avail able it is. The fire-engines of the Metropolitan Brigade, both land and river, have been em ployed on several occasions since their first appear ance ; and the rubble, rubbish, and broken taicks have been deluged and welded into a consistent whole. But it is the smooth stone pavement by their side upon which the eye rests most grate fully. It seems made for a fashionable promenade. The sentential stone balustrade at its side adds to its beauty, while the bridges, churches, and public buildings seen from it, together with the animated life of the bright and busy river, and the distant roar of traffic from the hidden streets, make it on a day like this, one of the most interesting and pleasantly vivacious spots in the whole metro polls. The Board of Works have appointed next Thursday for opening the footway to the public, and the people invited to be present will assemble at the north pier of Westminster bridge at half-peat eleven in the morning. They will proceed along the footway to the Temple, ' where steam-boat will be waiting to take them down the river. Disembarking at North Wool wich, they will be conveyed by train to the Abbey Mills Pumping Station, the works of which will be inspected. The last part of the proceed ings is subsidiary to the first, and the great point upon which London is to be congratulated is that a. new, agreeable, and con►enient footway between Westminster and the temple will be opened in a week. LORD XAYOII ALLEN AND TIM CITY 07 LONDON SCHOOL. Is there be any truth in the Preach proverb, 17 a'soci rien qui tea OOMNIS en ridicule, the life of the present Lord Mayor of Lows must hang on a thread. Ilia latest escapade ie in a new direo- Oon. Having acoommodated his fellow citizens with his political views—s graceful act which was scarcely sufficiently appreciated—he now proposes to let them have the benefit of his religious opinions. It appease that one of the duties of the Loan MAYON. is to preside at the annual distribu tion Of prizes to the City of London School, that Mr. Au.an accepted the position, but after wards declined it in consequence of a sermon by the Read Master with which he did not agree. A proverb, more socially than entomologically cor rect, says that " worms will turn," and thi s silliness of the Loan MAYOR was too much even for the long-sufferingprporation. They interro gated Mr. ALLEN in public court, and made him confess that he lad not read the sermon in ques tion, that having heard from one of " several dia " tinguiahed dignitaries of the Church with whom " he had been dining," that it contained sentiments tending to set the poor against the rich, ho de dined to preside over the ceremonial at the school of which the obnoxious preacher was the Head Master. That this statement was received with E , , . tii :41;:g a : A ir and ' lderision, that fa polal wade aim 91 Vie City members id hip to "Mae over the prize, • ,that Ms. ikaggsr;"direetly he saw that t Corpora tion would no - longer bear his arrogance, gave im and swallowed the look in the very spirit of Przroz,—all this was to be expeoted. But another raison for Mr. Aim's withdrawal from the discharge of one of the duties of his position was net mentioned in the court. It Mans that Mr. Assam, the Heed Master in question, appears prominently in the clergy petition to the House of Lords in favour of Kr. Clunerotra's Suspensory Bill. Hence the spring of religious fervour hub ibling up in Mr. ALLax's breast. Metropolitan Foreign Cattle Market Bill is the first of the orders at this evening's sitting ci the House of Commons, and the friends of the measure, strong in a numerical majority, have by. no means abandoned their hope of manes. Its chances have varied from day to day. If it has gone swimmingly on ono evening, a " snag" has stopped it the next. A serious danger still awaits it. The City refuses to take the responsibility of 'the measure, if the wharfingers are to have corn , prametion ; while if the clause giving oomperma tion wore struck out, the wharfi.ngers would 'insist upon being heard by counsel at the bar of tbo House of Lords. The delay which this would entail is the greatest difficulty loft. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. THIS DAY.) :Aorta. The Time* classes together the oourse pursued by Mr. Disraeli with respect to Mr. Fawcett's (dame and that pursued by Mr. Ayrtoe in the evening, in countingent the house with a view of getting rid of the Metropolitan Cattle Market Bill. Much of doubtful propriety has been done within the last eighteen mouths, but the Times remembers nothing so little creditable in the conduct of public binariess as the way in which the government yestdrelay contrived to persuade the House of Commons to reverse a decision adopted after mature deliberation by a twice repeated verdict of the house. There is, indeed, a cer tain fitness in the events of these last days of the present House of Commons. The arts of management by which it has been guided have had their influence on the morality of the assembly ; and the events of yesterday may be a fitting end to a reign of audacity and chicane. The defeat of Mr. Fawoett'm amendment is only one more, says the Doily Ness, in that series of petty victories with which the government is bringing the session to a close. It is, however, more than doubtful whether it is a victory on which the more astute occupants of the treasury bench will see reason to congratulate one another. Not only does it reverse a decision which was received with universal satis faction in the country, but it reverses it by one of those suspicious and untimely changes of policy which suggest to unsophisticated minds the idea of government by intrigue. The Tskgrsph 'ecarcely regrets the rejection of Mr. Fawcett's amendment. No doubt the clause asserted a greatiprinciple, but it could have produced little immediate effect. Were it passed into law, poor men would find the task of getting a wet in the house almost as difficult as ever. Mr. Fawcett struck only at that measure of the ex penses which is entailed by the action of the returning doer, and, is earaparison with the total expense of a general election, the amount is a mere drop in the The Herald allows that there is a good deal to be said in favour of Mr. Fawcett's proposal, were it brought for ward at the proper time. The total burden thrown upon the constituency would be small, whilst the relief to Nally honest candidates would not be inoonsiderabbs, and the burden, such as it ie, would fall upon the shoulders which ought to bear it. But it is obvious that an alteration of the existing law of so important a character and the esta blishment of a totally new principle with regard to the manner of election has nothing to do with a bill for the prevention and punishment of corruption at elec tions. The Star thinks no one could listen to the debate yesterday without perceiving that very few members on the Tory side, and not so many as one could desire on the Liberal side, recognised the true position of a member of parliament. Who can wonder that men who, either by money or cringing, have gained a high position, to which they attach no idea of responsibility, should resent any attempt to introduce competition in political merit as the test for parliamentary honours P THE BALE OB LIQUORS ON SUNDAE BILL. The Daily News agrees with the opinion of the select committee of the House of Common. that moral influence will do more than legislative enactments to diminish drunkenness. When public opinion has condemned the vice of drunkenness in other spheres of society, as it baa among the rich and educated, the late result will follow. Those who deny the possibility of this must believe that the poorerclasees are neither amenable to moral suaaion, nor capable of learning how to respect themselves. A draft report, drawn up by Mr. J. A. Smith, and sup ported by three members of the committee, urged that, eo far from producing mischief or exciting discontent, the bill would be both useful and popular, and that the in terests of public morality, order, and industry all call loudly for immediate legisiation. The Timm has so much sympathy with the object the minority of the committee had in view that it heartily wishes they had met with more success. Let but one bold, vigorous effort be made by the wiser, stronger members of the community to with hold from their feeble, foolish brethren the accursed in strument of ruin and degradation, and the glorious battle is half won. The root mime in the conclusions of the committee, and expresses a hope that we have heard the last of the Sunday Liquor Bill. EaLEL RU89172 ON LORD PALMERSTON. In reply to an address sent to Earl Russell by the corporation of Bowery, in the expectation that his lordehip would be pretreat at the unveiling of the Palmer ston memorial at Rommy, the noble earl says : " I bass deeply to regret that I was unable to perform the kosoosabie duty whisk had been asigsed to me of Winos-aft; the statue of the late Lard Palmerston. 1 bA4 bees IM4I and intimatelg associated wi th him in the rispessibie gewanuasat of this great 11Elphro.

BRyOBT AT Bramrsotum.—Mr. John Bright has undertaken to be present at a dinner party:, to be given this eveling (Friday) by the mayor of 714g ham (Mr. T. Avery), to about 170 of the leading inha bitants of the town, who, including the town council and the public CAMS, bare bean invited to meet the borough members. The assembly is regarded by the mayor as a valeta party; but there is intense curiosity to know what Mr-Bright says just now. consequence is that the mayor has very staiienaturedlf sent -invitations to rwporters from London, Manchester, Leeds, and - elsewhere, and about twenty shorthand writers will be present. ]gr.
