PARLIAMENT has gone to the provinces, to the moors, or to the Alps, and therefore politics are somewhat out of date. But, no doubt, a month ago the news which hu just arrived from Canada would have produced a lively debate in the House of Commons. The effect produced upon the Canadian mind by the discussion which took place on Mr. ADDERLEY'S motion touching the colonial defences, has now reached us, and it is singularly consistent with the effect which was anticipated by those who had fairly considered the subject in this country. It is impossible to deny that the Canadians look with considerable interest and some anxiety to opinions expressed by the states. men and the people of this country as to their conduct on the subject of their military de fence. They certainly rejoice at the prospect that the Imperial troops who have been despatched to the other side of the Atlantic, and who are paid for out of the Imperial treasury, are not to be withdrawn. They appreciate the importance of the presence of these troops in a military and in a social point of view. They appear satisfied that this country is prepared to defend the colony against all invaders, and at any expense, however great. They are grateful for the opportunity afforded to their wives and daughters of having their ball-rooms adorned with eligible partners. But at the same time they do not hesitate to express their conviction that the presence of the troops is unnecessary, and that if the Imperial Government persists in keeping them in Canada the Imperial Treasury must pay for them. The Canadians, in short, have achieved a practical independence. They do not underrate the advantages which they derive from their connexion with the great British empire. But, admitting this, they do not hesitate to assert their right to manage their own affairs or to accept the consequences of this principle. As the Toronto Glohc distinctly says : " The Canadian people un " derstand their own rights and duties as well " as the editor of the Times or any member of the " Imperial Parliament. They will adhere to the " one and perform the other without regard to " what is said by people on the other side of the " Atlantic who know nothing about them." There is little doubt that this colonial journal accurately expresses the opinions of the great majority of the Canadians in both provinces. it is idle to suppose that these views can be modified to any material degree. They are absolutely fixed ; and therefore the sooner the Itliniaters in Downing-street and the people in this country learn to acquiesce in these views, the better will it be for themselves and for the British taxpayers. What then is the view which the Canadians take of the relations which now subsist between themselves and the mother country ? They are simple enough. There is, indeed, only one single matter in which the Imperial Government attempts to interfere with the Colonial Government, and that is in the matter of colonial defence. The Imperial Government has expressed its dissatir faction with the mode in which the Canadians have made provision for the case of invasion. Not only the QUEEN'S Ministers have declared that the colonists ought to make more efficient preparation to meet an invasion, but they have directed the Colo nial Governor to urge these views upon the colonists. These views of the Imperial Government have long been pressed upon the local Government in vain ; the news which has just arrived from Canada enables us to see how far that is supported by the colonist& The position occupied by the Canadians is obvious enough ; nor from the Canadian point of view is there any doubt that that position is unimpeachable. The case is very clear. " You have sent us " some 12,000 excellent troops, and you ask " us to pay for them," say the Canadians to the Colonial Minister. But they reply : "We have " never asked for them—we don't want them, and, " therefore, your demand is not only unreasonable " but unjust." The Western Province is filled with English and Scotch settlers. It is eminently British in its desires, and the Toronto Globe, one of the most popular journals in the Western Province, fairly represents the opinions of those who are the most earnest advocates of the British con nexion. That journal may be taken as the exponent of the Western Colonists, and what does it say 1 With a full knowledge of all that was uttered in Parliament by Mr. ADDEBLEY, by Sir Cosiaxwani. Lawns, and by Mr. Rosaucx, these are its words : " The Trent affair was an Imperial " and not a Colonial question, and the troops were " despatched here by the Imperial authorities " withon t any demand being made by our Colonial " Goveroment. The cause of the despatch of " the troops was Imperial, the act Imps " riaL Surely no Englishman will yen " ture to say that we should have paid the ex " peones of those troops." It is impossible to gainsay this opinion. If the Imperial Government doubts the sincerity of the Canadian people to maintain their independence—or if it thinks them incapable of judging as to whether there is any danger of invasion —if, in short, the Imperial Government prefers to place reliance upon their own officers instead of placing reliance upon the re sponsible Ministers of the Colony, then the Imperial Government must adopt their own course, and the Imperial treasury must supply the means for de fraying the expenses of pursuing that course. The Ministers in the Colony must not by force be made .LXP4F responsible for expenses which they thit4/101,.. necessary, and as they were Lot consulAtisa to sending out British trAls, "other, aL aey were despatched to Canada against thiiir will, "the British Ministers who sent them must supply the means of paying them. The truth is that neither at the time of the Trent affair, nor at any prior period, have the Canadians had the slightest fear of danger from the Americans. The Ministers in this country were hoodwinked by the Staff officers of the regular army who were sent out to organize a system of national defence. There is no reason to believe that the Canadians are less determined than any other people to maintain their independence. It is notorious that in Canada the party of annexation to America has always been insignificant, and the events which are now taking place in the United States have indisposed the Canadians still more to any such idea. If there were any probability of an invasion of Americans, there is no doubt that the ranks of the Canadian Militia would be rapidly filled. But such an event is considered practically impossible, and therefore it is idle to suppose that any insolence or threats of the people in this country will have any effect upon the Canadians. To quote once more the Toronto Globe on this subject : "If anyone " imagines that by speeches in the Imperial Par " liament or by the bullying of the Times news " paper the people of Canada can be forced to " rush into an extravagant expenditure and draw " immense numbers of the population from their " peaceful pursuits to guard against the danger of " a war which they think will never happen, he "makes a grievous mistake." The Canadians may be right or they may be wrong in their opinion. But in either case it is obvious that the conduct of the Colonial Minister is without justification. No one in these days proposes to maintain the connexion between Canada, or indeed any other colony, and this country, against their will. If Canada desires absolute freedom, she may have it to-morrow. If she desires to remain as she is, that also is within her power—but upon one condition. As she enjoys the privilege of independence, she must also undertake to bear its burdens. Of these burdens none is more essential than that of providing for her own defence. Of the weight of this obligation Canada must be allowed to be the best judge. In case of immi nent danger the Imperial Government would no doubt send out an adequate force. But no such danger presses. On the contrary, the Canadians insist that there is not the remotest prospect of any such peril. They refuse to adopt any system of defence which could be made practically available for many weeks. This country is bound to adopt the same principle. The Imperial resources are to supplement, not to replace, those of the Colony. To despatch Imperial troops, even in case of im minent danger, to a colony unprovided with an efficient local army, would be questionable enough ; but to persist in maintaining a body of Imperial troops, who in case of invasion would be practically useless, and who, in the actual state of affairs, are considered by the colonists absolutely useless, is an act of extravagant folly which passes human understanding. The Indipenclance says that her Royal Highness the Princess Clementine, wife of Prince Augustus of Saxe- Coburg, has left for Spa with her family. The Princess will await there the arrival of the Queen of England in Germany. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess de Mootpensier (Infanta of Spain), with Princess Labelle and the rest of the family, attended by two ladies in waiting and Colonel Velarde, aide•de.cemp to his Royal Highness, and a numerous suite, have arrived at the Clarendon Hotel, Albemarle-street, from St. Leonard'.

PROCLAMATION OF GARIVIALDI AND SXPIiOiS N1L0.% NAIL. , • jUSDAY EVESIN - er TvGUST 26, .tsposi 001 ows coassarosnirr.T PARIS. Morroar Emmet+. The Italian government is to all appearance playing a new part. Generals Cugia and Mella are recalled, the former being accused of dallying with dangers, the latter of military incapacity in allowing Garibaldi to get into Catania. Are these men sacrificed to save the credit of the govern ment ? Has the whole affair been a comedy ? Such are the questions asked here. The Turin correspon dent of the Franca gives the following version of the cause that has led to the series of repressive mea sures now resorted to by the government. He states that Sir James Hudson, in a recent inter view with General Durando, asked him whether the government felt itself sufficiently strong to domi nate the Sicilian movement without foreign inter vention. General Durando replied in the affirma tive, and added that he felt confident of getting the rebellion under - within a week. Hereupon Sir James expressed his satisfaction, because otherwise, he said, the Emperor, who bad brought about the recognition of Italy by Russia and Prussia, might think himself authorised to interfere in the inte rests of order. The Italian foreign minister observed that there was little danger of this, as it would be ' ; an infraction of the principle of non-intervention. Now the principle of non-intervention is a very ex cellent thing, but there is no greater difficulty in drivingtwoor three coaches and four through it than there is through an English act of parliament. So, doubtless, thinks the ex-King of Naples, when he resolves, as the report goes (not confirmed to-day by the bye), to go and pay his respects to Vesuvius. Reports are rife as to preparations in the French j war department for Italian eventualities. An army of 25,000 men, with a marshal to command, I is talked of. I believe these things are all mere reports, nevertheless it is useless to attempt to shut our eyes to the extreme danger of the situation. It appears to be an au thenticated fact that Garibaldi has left Catania, and it is reported that be has landed in Calabria ; but this requires confirmation. I believe there is truth in the statement that he has offered to sur render to the King personally, but not to the King's government. This comes to me, at least, direct from Turin. As you will have learnt, the Moniteur has this day broken silence on the great question of the day. The oracle, however, is as mysterious as ever. It tells us nothing but what we knew before. Nobody ever supposed that the army of France would retreat from Rome before the " insolent menaces" of Garibaldi, any more than anybody ever believed that the military honour of the French army had anything to do with the matter ; and we needed not have searched the official journal of the empire to find such a plati tude as that " the world must well know that France does not abandon in dangers those over whom she throws bur protection." We are en tangled in a political complication, we have self arrogated opinions raining from soi-disant semi official organs, and what we want is to know from the Mouiteur whetter there is or is not any hope of the disentanglement of this political complica tion by the only hand capable of the achievement. All other points are irrelevant, and do but tend to make confusion more confoun. I ed. The general tone of the evening papers is that of disappointment on the occasion. The Opinion Nationale says :—" This note, very distinct and precise iu its terms, explains nothing as to the main question. . . . What to us is most evident from it is that we shall re main in Rome till the death of Pius LX." The Temps rigs the note does not engage the future ; but as between the Constitutional and the Frame, it gives the greater weight to the opinions of the latter. The France itself sees only through its own spectacles, and sings pwaus. The Patric appears to think the declaration of the Moniteur means little or nothing. It says : It wisely condemns doubts uselessly expressed, and which answered so little to the true preoccupations of the public opinion. These preoccupations were, in fact, not to know what France would do in presence of the attacks of Gari baldi . . . But what justly preoccupies the public mind is to know whether Ganbaldi's /clic de low-herr , is likely to immobilise the Roman question, or merely to retard its solution. We persist in thinking that the Roman question and the interests depending upon it are placed above the insurrectional ►ttempts of Garibaldi, and that French diplomacy will remain as impassive before the menaces of the revolution Si our soldiers before the volunteers of Catania. REPLY OF GENERAL KLAPKA. The following is the proclamation of Garibaldi to the Hungarians, referred to in the reply of General Klapka, a summary of which we gave yesterday : Hungarians ! What is Hungary doing?—That noble nation which the victorious Oltomae once saw sud denly rise, completely armed, to defend the civilisa tion of Europe—that nation before which the proud Emperors of Hapsburg bowed down as sup pliants demanding aid and pity, does it sleep now and for ever! Hungarian brethren, the revolution is at your frontier. Open your eyes and on the walls of Belgrade you will see floating the flag of liberty—lend an attentive ear, and you will hear the musketry of the Seryiaes, who, erect and armed for the defence of their rights, give battle to the abhorred Turk. And you, what are you doing? You, • strong people, who have not had the misfortune to which Italy was at one time subject, of being divided amongst seven tyrants—you, a people of warriors, what are you now wait ing for? Have you broken 3 our swords? Have you for gotten your martyrs? Have you abjured your oaths of ven geance ? Or would you trust in the artful promises of your oppressors? Would you place faith in those who counsel you to accept the insidious offers of Austria, who now ap pears disposed to accord to you your rights, but who is already preparing to. betray you, and to regain by force or by fraud what she gives to you against her will? Would you reckon on the good faith and loy►lty of a robber and traitor government, which, after the disaster of Vilagoe, despoiled an entire nation of its wealth; or would you listen to those who, leas imprudent but equally culpable, flatter you with • foolish hope of accomplishineyour freedom by legal expedients, hitherto shown to be insufficient to redeem • people ; or, worse still, who exhort you to await foreign succour ? A ferocious despotism oppresses you. You also have Austria, like • rock on your chest, stopping your breath—Austria whose empire you have more than once saved—Austria who, as a reward for your having lent her many times the shield of your powerful breasts, has violated yonr laws, destroyed yourststutea, endeavoured to abolish your language, peopled with your best citizens the land of the exile, filled with 'scaffolds. all your towns ? Do you lack faith in yourselves—in your strength, in your valonr? 1)o not forget that in 1848 you had only to follow boldly your triumphal route even toVienna in order to break down for ever the old blood-stained throne of the Hapsburgs ? The times are now more propitious. Now Russia will not lend • succouring band to Austria to annihilate your efforts. She has been repaid by too much ingratitude. Nor will Prussia, the ancient rival of the empire, defend it against our attacks. Woe to Hungary—woe to all oppressed peoples, if you obey these fallacious and cowardly suggestions, if you believe possible any other relations between Austria and you than hatred and w►r. 014 brethren ! do not let so auspicious a moment escape. The Serviette are fighting for liberty—for the emancipation of a whole rare oppressed and degraded. And you, too, want liberty—you, also, oppressed and de graded, have the right —more than the right—the duty, of rising once more to the rank which you have merited by your glories, your virtues, and the services which you have rendered to civilisation. Tee Servians and the Montenegrins fight against despotism. Courage! You are strong if you dare to venture. Listen not to those who counsel patience in an ignominious servitude ; but listen to the voice of your conscience, which says to you " Arise." Imitate Sent& and Montenegro ; imitate those who are ready to light up in other parts of Europe the flame of revolution. Italy, which loves you as brethren, and has sworn to repay you for the blood which your heroes have shed for her on twenty fields of tattle ; Italy, which gratefully honours and blesses the holy name of Ttickery, who died for her, calls on you to participate in her new battles and her new victories over despotism. She invites you to them in the name of the holy fraternity of the peoples—in the name of the common welfare. Sons of Arped, will you betray your brothers? Will you fail at the rendezvous of the nations, wheel they shall array themselves in battle against despotism ? Assuredly liberty aban doned by you would be subjected to a mime peril ; but your renown would at the same time be for ever lost. The Martyrs of Arad would curse you as degenerate sons. Oh, I know you ;I do not doubt you. Hungary, too long deceived by perfidious friends, will awake at the cry of liberty which now comes to her from the other side of the Danube, and to-morrow will reach her from Italy. And when the solemn hour of the people shall sound, I shall meet you, I am sure, as invincible phalanxes on the field where the deathly duel will be fought between liberty and tyranny, barbarism and civilisation.—Your sincere brother, Palermo, July 26. G. GARIBALDL The following, according to the Ihelia, is the reply of General Klapka : General,—You have just addressed to Hungary • call to arms. Your voice might have found an echo amongst my fellow•citizens, if you had raised that war-ery at the bead of your volunteers, wilted to the royal troops to march by common consent against the 1 dynasty of Hapsburg. Now it cannot be regarded ; for it is no longer the voice of Italy, but that of a man who is labouring to destroy his own glory, and wbo is compro mising his name and his for tune in the ad chances of civil war. In order to urge the Hungarians to insurrection you cite to them the example of the Serviette, of the Greeks, and of the Montenegrins. That example is in fact a lesson for Hungary ; but it tells her to wait for a more propitious moment, if the would not expose herself to the same din's pointnienta and to the tame disasters. The Ser i VigllA. the Greeks, and the Mootenegrins believed 'that they ought to respond to an appeal like that which you have just iuldressed to us. They were to be supported in their movement. I even believe that they expected you. What • tine opportunity you lost of con tinuing your great role of Liberator which you had com. menced with so much 6-lat. The fate of all these peoples deceived in their hopes does not reconcile us to oppression, but teaches us to husband oar forces for more favourable circumstance,. This prudence, so patriotic, displeases you, and you talk to us of our duties. That gives us a right to remind you of your own. Have you not misconceived them, general, in separating yourself as you have done from the legal authorities consecrated by the vote of the people, and raising against them the standard of revolt? Halt, while there is yet time, in this fatal path. Cease to labour for Austria, and for all the European reactious, while trying to hasten too much the enfranchisement of Italy. Scatter from her all these menaces of civil war which alarm all good citizens. You owe this to your past—you owe it to your name —and you owe it to the hopes which you have created amongst the nations who stiffer and whom you can not deceive without betraying yourself. As for Hun gary, she wishes, she ought, to act, and she his shown already what she can do. But to test this new effort, while listening to the voice of her friends she will take above all the counsel of her conscience. She would be happy if on the day of the struggle she could give her band to Italy, united with her against Austria. Cod grant that you may be able to enact again on that day the part which your happy fortune seemed to reserve for you in contem porary events. Accept, general, the assurance of my de voted sentiments. GEORGE ICLAPKA. Turin, August 23, 1862. (eistrrra's rusoseue.) FRANCE. PARIS, Almon 26. The appeal of Vessel, Miot, and others, against the judgment prcnounced spinet them by the Tribunal of Correctional Police for conspiracy against the government, was heard yesterday. The Court of Appeal confirmed the sentence of ea the accused, except Adine and Bray, who were acquitted. DENMARK. COPENHAGEN, Amon. 25. The English Baltic squadron arrived off here to-day, and anchored in the roads. THE CAPE MAILS. VIGO, Auouer 26. The Cambrian, from the Cape of Good Hope, put into this port yesterday for coals, and left this morning for Plymouth, where she is expected to arrive with the Cape mails on Thursday night. The Pays thinks the note of the Afoniteur is Decided, precise, and categorical. It simmers to all the legitimate solicitudes of catholic consciences ; but it entirely reserves the question as it baa been laid down for two years by the Senate and the Corps Legislatif. Our political sense blames the Roman government, but our catholic faith would protect the Holy Father. This dlisl devotion is not a political guarantee, and this protection does not con. stitute an engagement in the sense sought (by M. de la Onerrenniere) to be given to it. The important theatrical event of the week is the revival at the Thdatre Francais of Byche, a tragicomedy, chiefly remarkable as being the joint production of Molibre and Corneille, to whom may also be added as coiMborateurs Lulli, the com poser, and Quinault, the poet. It is something like a century since the work was performed ; and I believe the majority of the audience who wit nessed its revival are of opinion that it had better have been suffered to sleep another hundred years The subject of international education has lately excited some attention here. M. Hachette, the publisher, is said to be in London at the present moment, for the purpose of taking some steps in the matter. I hear he has purchased a well known educational work which has gained a medal at the International Exhibition, Jules Delbrtick's "Instructive Recreations." The comet is now becoming plainly visible here without the aid of a telescope. The weather is splendid, and the sky perfectly cloudless on each night. The Bourse was less agitated by political reports to-day, and presented a more favourable aspect than heretofore. Rente rose 150., both for cash and account, leaving off at 681 r. 85c. and 68fr. 80c. respectively. The Italian Loan rose 35c. for ash and 55c. for account, leaving off at 69fr. 85c. and 69fr. 70c. respectively. THE RELIGIOUS QUESTION IN MANOVER. The Ilanover Gazette publishes the following decree " We, George V., &a. When on the 14 th April we offered to our subjects of the Evangelical-Lutheran creed, as a precious object, the ' Small Catechism of Luther, with Explanatione,' we felt persuaded that the gift would be received with gratitude. We could not doubt it, because, faithful to the principles of the reform, we have still the conviction that the new catechism contains the pure un altered Evangelical troth, and is conformable to the Lutheran confession. We now learn with grief that • great number of our Lutheran subjects, out of attachment to the catechism received from their forefathers, hesitate to aosept the present which is offered to them, and that feeling occupies on the subject of certain phrases of the new catechism, they have considered the Evangelical faith to be threatened and consciences disturbed. We, however, have at heart to preserve pesos in the chinch, and not to ' weaken by constraint the benefits which result from • wontanemte and unstained gratitude. in 0002equence, the order for everywhere introducing the new oatechism is revoked, and it will be used where it is spontaneously adopted. " GLOROZ Rte. " Countersigned by the fdinisten." 1861 ITALY. --.- TBE DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE. (nod ova owx 11:1111?1, Almon 21. After all that has happened, after Garibaldi has been proclaimed a rebel, and Sicily in a state of siege—would you believe it ?—there are those who still think there is a secret understanding between ministers and Garibaldi. That incredible entry of his into Catania, whence the garrison had marched out and the Prefect was absent, is, in the eyes o many, a proof of Rattazzi's connivance ; so much has an ambiguous and tortuous course of conduct on many occasions broken down confidence in his I most explicit declarations. Hence, whilst the great majority of the Italians condemn Garibaldi's pe rilous fanaticism, they equally condemn the con duct of a minister who ought not to have let things come to this extremity. Principiss obsta was the maxim of ancient wisdom, but Rattazzi, by reason of previous errors, which constrained him to hybrid alliances and pernicious condescendence', could not withstand the beginning of these evils, but was obliged to wait until the danger was mani fest to all, so that he might be justified in the eyes of his old friends when at last he ventured upon resistance. The consequence is that now, after having been without exceptional laws for two years, and just at the moment when our chief difficulties had disappeared, we find ourselves face to face with this unforeseen complication, which makes the rule of military law a necessity. I must tell you, however, in justification of the government, not as regards its past conduct but its present ne oessitios, that the assemblage in Sicily of so many armed men, without discipline and without control, and not all of whom went over from the mainland to sacrifice themselves on their country's altar, has thrown back the condition of the island by two years, and robberies and assassinations have begun again in almost every province. Yesterday morning the King said, in a tone of in dignation and grief to a friend of mine, to whom his Majesty had granted an audience upon important business, "I would rather have lost an arm than found myself constrained to acts of rigour ; but I must save Italy from enemies both foreign and domestic. I observe the constitution, and I must make it be observed by all. Anarchy would quickly undo Italy. I have done everything to avoid these dangers ; now I can no longer hesitate ; weak ness would be abdication and the triumph of Italy's enemies." I send you an important pamphlet by Celestino Bianchi, who was Ritmoli's secretary in Florence and in Turin. Bianchi clearly expounds the baron's policy, and victoriously defends it against the accusations of Rattazzi's journals. Baron Ri casoli set out yesterday evening for London after having remained here one day. General Klapka is here, and General Bixio has also arrived to-day, but from Genoa, not from Paris. Both Klapka and Bixio deplore the blind ness of Garibaldi, who does not perceive that he is led to ruin by the Mazzmiatui. A SECOND ARCHBISHOP BERESPORD. We (Dublin Evening Mail) believe it to be now certain, although no official announcement is yet made of the fact, that the new primate will be the Irish bishop whom, from the first, the Evening Mail has designated for the office, Dr. Bereeford (Bishop of Kilmore). Irish church. men will accept it as an acknowledgment of their rights, and a concession to their distinctly-expressed wishes. It was manifest that the selection of an English divine, however noted, would have given just offence, so long as the Irish bench included prelates in every respect worthy of the post. At the same time it was clear that even an English bishop would be less unwelnene than several Irish prelates. We augur the best results from the primacy of Archbishop Beres ford. Ilia lordship's active sympathy with every effort to spread the gospel, his strong attachment to the church, his generosity of disposition, hie urbanity, pru dence, habit& of business, and excellence es a preacher, ought to make his administration singularly successful. He is, moreover, no stranger to the functions imposed upon the primate, having assisted his late noble relative for many years. The Bishop of Kilmore spent no lees than twenty nine years as a parish clergyman before he became bishop in 1854. Had the age and health of the Archbishop of Dublin ' permitted him to undertake the multiplied responsibilities of the primacy, no other bishop could have been placed in rivalry with him, and his appointment would have left no room for cavil on either side of the water. That choke being not possible, however, the government have dealt with the opportunity wisely. The name of Dean Verechoyle is mentioned in onouezion with the dire:asset !Cilium, but we believe no decision has yet been arrived at.—[Dr. Beres ford is the second son of Dr. Bamford, the late bishop of the diocese over which he now presides.] On Saturday Prince Victoria de Windincli,gratz paid • visit to some of the principal objects of interest in Liverpool, includiog the docks on both sides of the Mersey, the lumen steamship City of New York, the Albert Ware houses, &c. The Prince and suite stayed at the Adelphi Hotel, and ware accompanied in their visit to the docks and other places of interest by M. Victor, the interpreter to the Inman Steamship Company. DEATH OF THE COUNTERS OF ESSEX. The Counter of Essex died on Friday morning at the family seat, Cassiobory-park, in Hertfor‘bire.

THE REPRILSENTATION OF STOLZ-UPON-TRENT.— Ws have authority (says the Morning Herald) for announ cing that Mr. A. J. Bereeford Hope has consented to become a candidate for the borough of Stoke.upoo-Trent. The boo. gentleman (adds our contemporary) is well known as a con servative, and a sincere and attached friend of the estab lished church. He formerly set in the House of Comma= as member for the borough of Maidstone. TuE REPRINENTATION OF EXETER.—We are now enabled to remove a portion of the doubt which has existed for some time respecting the liberal candidature for the city of Exeter. Mr. J. 1). Coleridge. Q.C.. has consented to stand. He has assure l the Liberal Association that he is quite prepared to encounter the chances of a long and severe struggle. We believe he is waiting only a fitting opportunity to address the liberal electors, when he will expound his sentiments and announce his intentions. We are not so well prepared to clear up the uncertainty re specting Mr. Seymour's movements. That gentleman has recently visited Exeter. and has left again. It is probable that he has made no definite decision.— Western Morning Nun. DREADFUL OUTRAGE. —The inhabitants of the town of Spalding, in Lincolnshire, were thrown into a state of great excitement on Sunday last., by the fact transt r si to that an attempt at murder , which it is greatly be fear ed will be productive of fatal reaulta, had been committed under the following singular circumstances. It appears that on Saturday night last. about 12 o'clock, a roan named Percival, formerly ostler at one of the inns in the town was returningto his home, and when crossing the sheer; market he met a man named Leadbeater, a labourer, from the adjacent village of Pinchbeck, with whom he bad not the least previous acquaintance ; suddenly, and without any provocation, Leadbeater rushed upon him and cut his throat with a large knife, inflicting • serious injury. Per. rival was accompanied by another man, but the deed was accomplished so quickly that he was unable to prevent it ; and whilst in the act of raising his wounded companion, the aneassin rushed upon him and inflicted a ',miler wound. Whilst the aril& was still pending. a third man, Hayes, came up. and attempted to collar Leadbeater, when the latter stabbed him in the ern, causing him to release his hold. The fellow then ran away along the Bourn-road, but was pursued by a couple of policeman, who came up at the time. and about • dozen other persons, who. after a chase of nearly half-a-mile, enc. ceeded in capturing him near the Pied Bull public-house, on the Bourn-road. The wounded men. Percival and his emu panics, were, in the meantime. conveyed to Dr. Mania's surgery, where their wounds were promptly attended to ; but they were found to be of No serious a nature that the doctor deemed it advisable to have them lodged at a neigh bouring nublic-house, lest their removal home should prove fatal. The latest accounts state that they are in • very precarious state. Haves. on having his wounds dressed was able at once to leave for his owe home. At present no pos sible motive can be ascribed for the fearful deed, and it In generally supposed that the prisoner was suffering from temporary insanity. IllsrsorourAw num Homnrai, DavoNsersz swan, Corr.—The aggregate number of patients relieved during the week ending August 23 was :—Kedisal,ll.,3Bo; surgical, 693—total, 2,073; of which 736 were new eases. The Cotton Dietricte Relief Committee he:d itw first meeting at the Town-hall, Manchester, yesterday after noon. The Peri of ELLIRKIIi presided ; and there were also present Lord Edward Howard, Lord Egerton of taunt, fir J. Kay-f3linttlewarth, and J. M'Clure, Hon. Sec. Sir J. Ker-Suurrtewonen said he was anxious the atten tion of the public should be called to the fact that the meet• hog which assembled in the Town-hall, Manchester, " Fridaylast, was mainly occupied with the first arrangen,eots of • scheme of organisation well calculated to give the largest amount of public confidence. For that pm-poses representative executive committee was elected, cousistinr of noblemen, geotlemen, and the most considerable capita iste in the whole of the cotton districts. For inatuce, the Earl of Ellesmere, the chairman, would represent Wee e k,, , Fatricesit, sod the West !null Valley ; Lug p 4orto . Tattoo, Cheshire ; Lord Edward Howard, Glossop, and llottram, Derbyshire ; Sir J. Kay-Shuttlewurth, East Lan cashire and the Valley of the Ribble ; Colonel Wilsoo Pat. ten, North Lancashire and Warringtee ; Major L. Legh, Maocleatield, kc. • Mr. T. Ashton, Hyde and beim:rid ; Mr. Edmund A shworth, Bolton Union ; Mr. C. L. Ash worth, Rochdale Cajon ; Mr. Robert Gladsome, Mulches ter; Mr. Nathaniel Eckereley, Wigan ; Mr. Robert II utchie soo, Uverpnol • Mr. Joshua Fenton, of (Nimble, eywood and girth ; M;. J. Robinson Kay, Bury and He H ywood ; Mr. High Mason, Ashton and Stalybridge ; Mr. Robert lichee, Stockport ; Mr. J. H. Miller, Preston ; Mr. John Platt, Oldham ; Mr. W. Roberts, Burnley Union ; Mr. Malcolm Rots, Harpurhey, Middleton, and Blakely ; Mr. S. J. Stern, Manchester ; Mr. John Worrell, •ialford together with the chairman, treasurer, and boo. secretary of the general committee ; also Mr. H. B. Parnell, the You-law Board'a special commietioner, would be invited to attend as an ex officio member of the executive. Lard Elles mere was the chairman, and Sir J. Kay-Sbuttleworth the deputy chairman, with Mr. /Velure as bon. secretary. meeting then settled the plan of °nomination, which is to form a model for the competition of each local com mittee. Reports, comprising summaries of the proceedinp of each of the local committees, must be made at regular intervals to the central executive committee, the rate of aid settled in reference to the amount of load subscriptions, and other means of relief in relation to the supposed wealth of the district. This plan of organisation is to be ailed by the active personal assistance of Mr. Parnell, so that the whole scheme promises, under a vigorous administration, to coordi nate in harmony of principle the administration of the Relief Committee, and to secure their co-operation with the Central Executive Committee. The following letter wee read: "London R 6 King William street "Sir,-Isetdesired by the MaiitifacCurers' Relief COM. mate* (1842) to send you the following copy of the resell". tions paired at a meeting held here yesterday, to consider the application addressed to them by you, as honorary se cretary of the Manchester Central Relief Committee : ' Resolved,—That a grant be made of 1,0001. to be appluel at the discretioo of the committee in the relief of the da trees in the cAton districta, whether theapplicaots have or have not applied to the guardians for relief. Resolved,— That the committee meet again on Friday, Sept. 26. to take into consideration any further application from the Maa• cheater committee.' The amount of grant will be remitted through Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smith, in the coarse of a day or two. " Yours, &c., " H. Senn." " J. Machin, Faq., Manchester." • • • - Another letter from the Lord Mayor's committee was also read, announcing the amounts that he had sent to the variona towns last Friday. Resolutioes, among others, were passed to the following effect " That the committee be called the Central Executive Committee. That Mr. A. Heywood be the treasurer, and Mr. J. W. Madura the bon. secretary. Th►t cheques be signed by the chairman of the executive, and countersigned by the boo. secretary, and that the meetings of the com mittee be held weekly." " That a letter be written to each of the several donors stating the present amount of the general united fund, and to ask each donor within about what period he would wish his donation should be paid to the place as to which it had been appropriated, or whether he would desire that donation should be merged in the general fund, and thereby leave to the discretion of the executive committee the future appro priation of the money." A memorial from the overlookers was referred to the Manchester committee for consideration. The following greats were made :-501. to Livsey, 300 i. to the Manchester district, and 900/. to Blackburn. Appli cations from Heaton Mersey, Stacksteads, and Macclesfield were deferred because no local committees had been formed there. This terminated the business. _ _ The first distribution of the relief food took place at Oldham on Saturday, when the sub•committeea in the various wards gave out money to the amount of 250/. The applications were so numerous in many districts, that the committees had to meet in the afternoon, although it was at first arranged to go through the business in the early part of the day. The distress appears to be increasing not only in Oldham, but iu Royton, Crompton, and Lees. Rooms have been opened in Cauning•street, Charlestown, Aahton-under-Lyne, for the employment of young women who have been thrown out of work by the claming of mills, and who are not in receipt of perish relief. The projectors have only limited means, but they offer Bd. per day for plain sewing and making garments. The hours of work are from nine in the morning to five in the afternoon, allowing an hour for dinner. Thom wbo have the means of helping the work may do so by contributing money or materials. The distress is Preston stiff musses. Notice has been given at several of the mills that they will he closed u soon se the present stock of cotton is worked up, which will throw out of employment a considerable number of bands. The report of the relief committee, issued on Saturday, shows a greet increase in the number of persons on their books for relief. The cases relieved dur. ing the week ending Saturday were 5,424, comprising 22,690 persons, against 5.199 cases and 21,616 persons in the previous week ; so that the increase bas been 225 cues and 1,074 persons. There were distributed, last week, 14,651 31b. 10ou. loaves, 11.706 quart. of soup, and 4.840 quarts of coffee. The sum expended was 440/. 18s. against 423/. 4a. last week ; increase, 171. 14s. The guardians of the poor have resolved to give the thousand and odd labourers on the moor, the marsh, and the stoceyard a day's holiday during the spproachiog Guild week, the relief to be continued notwithstanding. A similar con cession is made in respect to the 400 females employed in the Knowsleystreet workroom. Digresses In latmaarD.—A public meeting was held last evening in the Catholic School-room, White Lion street, Seven-dials, to take into consideration the distress now existing in the western districts of Ireland. There was a large attendance. Mr. J. P. Henriesay, M.P., who occupied the chair, denounced the government for their inattention to the state of Ire Lamb and their denial of the distress ex isting. Ho maintained that the Irish Poor-law was quite inadequate to meet the wants of the people ; as an Shona tine, be rid that while in England eight out of every 150 of population received relief, in Ireland only one in every 150 was relieved. This was owing to the system of out-door relief given under the English law, which was denied under the Irish poor-law. He hoped the good feeling and•neue rushy of the Irish people would make amends for the short comings of the government upon this question. The meet ing was afterwards addressed by Mr. Burke, the Rev. T. Barge, Mr. M'Comieß, and others, and resolutions of sym pathy with the Irish people and pledging the Irish residents in London to contribute to their relief were adopted. A collection was made at the close of the meeting. TEE Brurtors CITRAcy.—Mr. Hand, the Bishop of Lichfield's secretary, has written a letter to the Tints on this subject. After alluding various letters which have been published, he says : ' A Curate' has pointed out that the bishop may take advantage of the Ist and tad of Victoria, cap. 106, and require Mr. Fletcher to come into residence, and in default of his doing so within a year, the bishop may then declare the living ,OW. It is admitted that Mr. Fletcher cannot be removed for the offence of which be has been convicted. The clauses in the Act of Parliament, under which it iv suggested the bishop should proceed, were enacted for the purpose of compelling a non-resident incumbent to reside in hie perish. If the bishop were now to issue a moeition to Mr. Fletcher to reside, would it not he a fall proceediall on the part of the bishop, well-knowing, as hie lorthhip does. that the monition could not possibly be obeyed, and knowing also, that if it could be obeyed the bishop would not require Mr. Fletcher to reside, it being manifestly for the benefit of the parishioners that he should not return to Bilston ? If. by any legal proceedings, the bishop c.nld remove Mr. Fletcher from his living, for the fraud of which he has been convicted. the bishop would adopt them without hesitation. It is a great scandal to the church that sorb grave offenders cannot be summarily removed from their livings, and I trust this mule will induce parliament to mord the law in this respect." &NEIN° OF TELEGRAPH CABLEB.—An important improvement was introduced during the recent submersion of the additional cable just laid by the Electric and later. ' national Telegraph Company from Lowestoft to the Dutch • coast. Fishing bode were stationed every five miles to Me' Teat the waste of cable by the "slack" usually attendant on the ordinary emcees of submersiob. It is understood tbst as much as five miles of cable were thus saved. • FATAL NIIITAKE BI A CUEMlST.—Between and two o'clock on Sunday morning, a labouring ma named Patrick Farrell, aged 55, of Poole'splace. Mount Pleasant, Clericeowell, died as it would appear from malic acid, administered by miatake fur Epsom salts. The wife of the deceased went to purchase a pennyworth of salts and a cci L yworth of menus, at a chemist's shop in the neighbour* Instead of the tight medicine, it is stated that a packet of malts and oxalic acid was served by the assistant. On returning the wife proceeded to make "seam tea" for her husband. On opening the package she said, "He the given too all salts," upon which she returned to the chop to get the senna, but the shop was closed. Upon her retort, previews to his going to bed, the husband said he would take " the salts." On which she opened the smalleat of the Cs=sad pve it to him. After he had swallowed it laised of a burning etheation in his throat, andiron the alarming symptoms medical aid was called in. sod Mr. Bryant, of Leyetallatreet, and lir.
