Two candidates are in the field for the Southern Division of Northamptonshire. It is no disparage ment to either of them to say that he comes forward rather am a fair impersonation of the feelings on which he relics for support than as the self-nominee of a proprietor of great territorial posses ions. The Whig aspirant to the honour of regimenting the county, though by rank a Peer of Irelsad, is entitled by fortune rather to be classed with the gentry than the territorial magnates of the shires, and in this respect his Tory competitor and be stand on equal footing. One advantage to the public will probably result from this. The profuse expenditure of lad election will not be re peated ; and if a few votes leas are polled in copse quence of a more economic scale of arrangement being adopted by both sides for the conveyance of sleets= from their homes to the hustings, the public at large will not be disposed to express any vehement regret. The practice, indeed, to which we refer is one of the most liable to abuse in our existing system. Enor mous sums are frequently squandered by opulent candidatee on the hire of conveyances for the polling day ; the opportunity is deemed by their embers in too many instances one for limitless exaction; no justifiable end that we know of is attained by the wasteful outlay ; and the whole affair is, in most instances, nothing more or km than a part of the trial of personal strength by wager of purse, against which every honest and in dependent-minded man ought to set his face. It is, in point of fact, but another mode of limiting the choice of a constituency by means the most repugnant to every intelligible or reasonable principle of select ing Members to serve in Parliament. Our Minis terial contemporary, who the other day boasted of the reformatory virtue of that pre-eminently delu sive statute "The Corrupt Practices Act of 185.1," would do well to stodge the scandalous charges for carriages, fig, ace., to be found in the Auditors charges for borough sad county elec tions during the last five years, beginning with Lord EPRINGTON'S election for Marylebone, and ending with that of Lord Avrnoar for South Northamptonshire. Lord HVILEY of late has been favourably known to the Liberals of his neighbourhood from the active sympathy he hum more than one occasion manifested in their assertion of their claims upon the representa tioo. He once before offered himself for the count c, but was defeated by thethenundispelled fanaticism shoat Protection, now happily laid to rest with the be lief in witchcraft and the Popish plot. Though the price of corn is at this moment lower than our farming friends perhaps desire, we doubt if a simgle vote will be given to the Conservative or withheld from the Whig candidate on account of any prejudice that may have outlived the Corn-law coo troverey. Upon other and far different questions the isms in future contested elections must torn—upon religious questions (so called)—upoa social questions when they have been sufficiently discussed to resew thou capable of popular appreciation—and finally, upon political questions, like that of war abroad or legislative reform at home. On most of than Ina HENLEY has bid higher at starting than tor. He avows himself ready to exonerate dawdle from the payment of church-rates, be offers to egged • policy of spirit and vigour in our relations with foreign States, as contra-distinguished from that which used to be denominated Aberdeenises a short while ago, and, as a pledge of his fidelity to Reform psis& pies, he dulness himself ready to vote for the Ballet. Colonel CAITWILIGHT,OR theotber hand, 'VOWS UM. self to be • Conservative, attached to old institutiose, and averse to violent change of all sorts. But, south to say, he dose net uses to be particularly apprebesi sive of the violence he coeventionally deprecates; and being just sew fired with the ambition of sitting for the musty, he hastens to obliterate as far es he dares, the unfavourable impression which his recitation of the stereotyped dogmas of the Carlton would tend to create, by assuring the constituency that he is quite op to any fair and equitable mea sure of progress which may be brought forward.' It is curi-us indeed, and highly signilieant, to ob serve bow diligently Tory candidates everywhere seek of late to prepare the way for • rush onward, should the opportunity offer. All men of fore sight or energy sincere the party have come to per. calve that their position, as mere defenders of abor tive negatives, is untenable sad intolerable. It is eelf-evident that, no matter how slow Whig movement on wards may be, it mast always be successful, until the Opposition muster courage to outrun them in the race. Haying behind, grumbling and carping, bat still thanking., forced to fviiow, is a piteous condition for any body of men to be doomed to, sad it is becoming pretty plain that the younger members of the Tory part, are resolved not to submit t o it rank haw. Poe ourselves, we are heartily glad to recephe web dyne of awakening and ambition. There never was a goo open field for generous emulation than at the pima hour. The Whigs hay , palpably become "did by success in holding a monopoly of pewee; ad were it only for their re-invilleruni k als should sincerely desire that the Cenigegellng would enlarge their political phylasigin, and ebt Court.

The performance of The Owaiiew drew as im mense centeuree to Master Hall lui night. Mr. Sims Herr* who (in comellmesses, we bars, of the maitiplicity of his provincial engagements) has not been head in Lon don for a camdderable time, wee announced to sing the tenor part; bat the andieer wen informed, by a notion distributed la the hall, that the committee bad received a medical arti- Iris (of whiles mow au given) stating that Mr. Reeves war 1/Siikein from a serious attack of Diner, by which he wee ceder to hie room, and utterly unable to appear fa pedalo. The committee at the isms time sekeewiedged the roarer with which Mr. Lockey had =drakes the mute allotted to Mr. Reeves. Mr. Reeves mune to town only two days ago, in order to assist at this performers; and we are very sorry to learn that the Wane with which he hes been suddenly stroked is of a violent and even alarming kind. Hie absence, however, could not be felt u a great disappointment when his place was filled by such a stager as Mr. Lackey, who, we seed scarcely say, sustained his pert la a manner which left nothing to be desired. Hi great air, "In native worth sad honour clad," was a performance of exquiaite beauty. The soprano part was sung by Mir Louisa Visaing, this being, we believe, her first appearance at the (lamed concerts. She acquitted herself admirably; sad, from this time, taunt take a high rank among our Oratorio singers. With a clear brilliant soprano voice, which is able to sustain the C in alt without effort, she proems perfect truth of into astir, facile execution and great energy and holing. The cooly thing smooching to a fault which we could observe wee the °customs' introduction of embellishment where the composer's owu passages were sufficiently florid already. This was the case in the bravura sir, " With verdure ciadthe fields appeared," in which she gratuitously changed a purge very much for the worse, and also made a clumsy ceder where the plain cotes would have been much better. Her other great air, " On mighty wings," was an admirable performance in every reaper* ; and she rag the sweet and tender music in the far part, belonging to the character of Eve, with great upraise sat beauty. The bass part was sung by Mr. Sudsy, who also appeared for the first time at these ' concerto, bat whose highly successful dreg at Mr. Hullah's caners at Bt. Martin's Hall we have already had occasion to record. He was again entirely suootasfkil, and is well en titled to a pins. among our singers of the highest clue. His education, we nadereland, has been chicly Italian, and for the stage; bat he evidently knows how to turn it to good scoonat in applying it to mar of aMe net kind. His voice, though completely bass la its tram is free from heavier', sad hie " phrasing" has the grace and earth sees of a tenor. Hu Italian tuition, too, has taught him to speak. We have seldom heard a singer whose elocution was nave clear, emphatic, and judicious. The pirkemanos, in its naseetthir (we are obliged toast this Lori weed, for it has no English equivalent), wu noel lent; ami the audience evidently enjoyed with the utmost relish the delicious fireman of an oratorio which, if not the gr Dart in ukases, is oertainiy the most charming.

The amigo 4 Views., of the 6th, publishes the following order of the day, addressed by the Em peror to the army : " It has pleased the Almighty to remove from this life the oldest veteran of my army; its chief, crowned with laurels, my most faithful servant Field. Marshal Radetzky. His immortal reputation belongs to history. In order that the name of this hero may be preserved for ever in my army, my 6th Regiment of Hassan will have the honour from this day forth to bear it. Wishing to give expres sion to the profound grief which I share with my army, I order that at every military station • solemn service be celebrated for the deceased, and that my army and navy wear mourning for fifteen days. The flap and standards will be veiled with crape during that period. • (Signed) " FRANCIS JOSEPH. " Vienna, Jal. - 5, 18-58." To the son of the deceased Marshal Major-General Count Theodore Radetzky, the Emperor has ad dressed the following letter in autograph : " Dear Count Radetzky,—The death of your father, my glorious Field-Marshal, Count Radetzky, has plunged me into profound grief. Receive the expression of my acknowledgments of my share in the loss which all deplore. May you find some consolation in the thought that the immortal hero is mourned by me, by the country, and by the army which he led to victory, se well as by you, who have lost a dear parent. I shall take care to honour worthily the memory of the great man, and to transmit to posterity, by a durable monument, the remembrance of the services which he rendered to my house and to the country. (Signed) " FIAnCIB Josent. " Vienna, Jan. 6, 1868." The Archdukes Albert, Charles, and William were to leave Vienna on Wednesday, by express train, for Milan, in order to assist, by the Emperor's orders, at the obsequies of the late Field-Marshal. RUSSIA AND CIRCASSIA. The Brussels papers publish the subjoined tele gram :—" Accounts from Constantinople to the Ist state that the Circassians, under Safer Pacha, took on the 14th ult. the fort of Adekon after a deter mined resistance, and massacred the Russian garri son, composed of 1,200 men." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (MOM 001 OWN PARIS, FIWLT EVININO. This week has been marked by a singularly rapid succession of news of deaths of " men of the time." Reschid Pacha, confessed to be the greatest man in Turkey, has now gone. He was only fifty-two years of age. A dispatch says that he died sud denly of apoplexy, but this, I believe, is not true. According to a more authentic version he had been indisposed for three days before his death, but not (as it was thought) seriously. He had dined with M. de Thouvenel, the French Ambusador, but a very short time before the fatal event. A mild thaw of an unusually undecided character has succeeded the intense cola of the last few days. Almost all the blocks of ice in the Seine were dis solved this morning in that part of the river which runs through the heart of the City ; but, at the same time, the part between the Austerlitz and Berry bridges was completely frozen over. At the other ends of Paris, parts of the river beyond the Pont de Jena are also frozen over. • Several journals state that the Emperor went to hunt yesterday in the forest of Fontainebleau. Others represented him as having been on the same day skating on the lake in the Bois de Boulogne, the Empress being in her carriage looking on. The French journals have such a peculiar system of false dating that nobody can ever tell within twenty four hours what day "yesterday" means, so that both the stories may possibly be true. If, however, as the Maisano. announces, the Empress was suffer ing from the influenza, to sit still in a carriage in the Bois de Boulogne during the intense cold of either yesterday or the day before, was scarcely a prudent proceeding. I hear it said that the Empe ror did go to the Bois for the purpose of skating, but found so many people on the ice that he came away almost directly. A terrible accident occurred to-day at the magnifi cent church of St. Sulpice, in the Faubourg St. Germain. At ten in the morning, while mass was going on in the chapel of the Virgin, one of the hot water pipes used for warming the church burst with a tremendous noise, throwing boiling water and splinters of iron and marble upon the congrega tion. Three persons were killed on the spot, five others were seriously injured, and half a dozen more were hurt. M. Luoien Boyer, physician to the Senate, was present, and volunteered his services. The celoriNre which caused this sad catastrophe woe put up about three years since, as a substitute far a former system of warming the church by hot air, it being thought that hot-water pipes were more wholesome. It is fortunate that the accident did not take place while the chapel was crowded, as it often is on the occasion of • merrier or a burial. The loss of life in each a clue might have been immense. The Prefect of the Seine visited the church as soon as be heard of the accident. The Bourse has experienced a downward re action to-day, in consequence of its being understood that the bullion in the Bank of France had decreased by two hundred and fifty millions, and that the Bank could not therefore reduce its discount to 4 per cent., as it had hoped to have done. The Rents fell 34c. both for cash and account, closing at (Mfr. 80c., and 70fr. 10c. There was, however, a great deal of animation in the market and a con sider .ble anscant of business was done. Mobilier roso 7fr. 10c. The railways, after much fluctuation, left off from Mr. to 10tr. lower. The says that the Prefect of the Seine, on the occasion of the new year's receptions, told the architects of the city of Paris that it was intended, in the course of 1858, to carry on the execution of public works to a greater extent even than in recent years. The funeral of Rachel is fixed for Monday next, at 11 in the morning. The Evitr'aele states that it is authorised to declare that the report of her having embraced the Roman-catholic religion is without the slightest foundation. The severity of the cold, and the cessation of building operations which it has °positioned, have caused a great number of workmen to visit the cheap kitchens, established under the patronage of the Emperor, in the forty-eight quarters of Paris.

The Assistant Treasurer at New York had given notice that he would receive deposits of gold coin to the amount of three million dollars, for which Trea sury notes, bearing 3 per cent. interest, would be given as soon as issued. ' It is said that the argument of Mr. Marcy against the French claims in respect of damage by the bom bardment of Greytown proved so resistless that no claim had been made on behalf of Great Britain. In the New York' market, cotton was dull; flour 1 and meal had risen in price. The trannetions in grain hare been limited. Freights are dull. The stock market is also dull, with a declining tendency.

The European steamer arrived on the 18th Oct. with the August mails. She was ten days over the contract time, her machinery having become seri ously deranged on the outward trip to Suez. In consequence of this delay no answers to correspond ence could be sent from Sydney by the Simla, although at Melbourne there we/ Just time to reply. This was felt a great hardship, and motions of cen sure on the proceedings of the Mail Company have been adopted in the Legislative Council and Assembly. In the latter it was even proposed to annul the contract, so far as this colony is concerned in it. The Colonial steam-ship City of Sydney has been chartered by the European and Australian Company's agent for the conveyance this month of the homeward mails, as the European has been pronounced unfit to proceed, and will have to undergo extensive repairs era she can resume her poet. His Excellency Sir W. Denison came back from Norfolk Island on the 27th October. On his arrival there the Pitcairn islanders were short of provisions, and Sir William went on to Auckland in her Ma jesty's ship Iris for supplies. On his return to the island he promulgated a simple code of laws, ap pointing also a chief magistrate and two subordinate officers. Colonel Robbins, agent of the Hon. East India Company, is here iurchaaing cavalry horses for ship ment to India. Hia mission pronuses to be a suo cessful one, and the auxiliary screw steamship Un daunted will shortly sail for Calcutta with the first batch. The new Minister of Finance, Mr. Jones, has made a plain, clear statement of the financial posi tion of the colony. According to it there would be, on the 31st December next, a deficit of 128,6611., the revenue for the year being estimated at 1,148,3381., and the expenditure at 1,274,8891. Adverting to the difficulty experienced by government in raising money on debentures, either at home or on the spot, Mr. Jones stated that 100,0001. of interminable debentures had been returned from London, they having been found unsaleable there. Within the last three weeks, 50,0001. of short-dated deben tures were offered for sale here by the government, and withdrawn, as bat few tenders, and those un favourable, were sent in. Money must be had some how notwithstanding, and the government will have to bring forward a new scheme of taxation, issue Exchequer bills, or borrow from the banks. From the last published returns, however, it is evident that these institutions are not in a position to make an advance of any magnitude, even were they so inclined. That they might be induced to take a moderate amount of Exchequer bills is not impossible, if any guarantee could be afforded that the issue would be limited in extent, as the banks which allow interest on deposits might be tempted to invest in short-dated securities of this nature, bearing say 6 per cent. interest. In any case Ido not believe that in the present state of things more than 100,0001. or 160,0001. could be raised in the colony, and this would be of little use, seeing that newly a million will shortly be required for railway purposes alone. Whence this sum is to proceed, Heaven only knows ! The money market continues tight, and credit, though sound, is 1y given, trade being in a dull and even de condition, with little pro spect at present o improvement Advioes from Mel bourne are by no means cheering, and the uneasiness which is felt there no doubt influences our market.

THE Morotoes IN Cotroicsa.—The !louse of Representatives yesesedity adopted a resolution declaring the territory of U to be in • state of rebellion against the United States, and dir ecti ng an inquiry into the propriety of masa:l4 the delegate of that territory from a seat in the house. This aedon strikes us u being much more hasty than vies It is him model the anti-Marmon movements—the re sult of harass rather than of good policy or common sense. It wouldpussie ordinarymen, wsenspect, to explain whyahostlie was sent against Utah at the outset. There were mo dem disorders in the sashed the territory' but it has never yet been shown that they Iversen* as could eslybe remedied by Sr. and sword. The only evidence the hones professes to have to mitablith the fact that Utah lain a state of rebel. lion, is found is the proclamation of Brigham Young. But Young is not the territory—nor, in any lmel sense, its fireweed's,. He Is the agent and deputy of the govern. meat of the United States in Utah. He was appointed governor by the Executive and Senate; he receives his from Washington, end in the eye of the Con• siltation sad the presumption of the law, he is a federal caber, exercising authority over, but in no sense represent ing the territory of Utah. He has proclaimed • purpose to mist the advance of federal troops. This is a good roman for removing him from odlos, for arresting him, for bringing him to trial, and for inflicting upon him ruch punishment uhe may deserve. But why should the delegate of the people of Utah be exclut"ed from Congress for the misconduct - of a federal officer P Tbe people may or may not sympathies with Young and support him in hie rebellious demonstration.

The launching operations were carried on through out the whole of yesterday with the most perfect regularity. At very short intervals pushes of from 4 to 8 inches were obtained, and this without much aid from the hauling appara tus, a good deal of which was carried away under the bow of the vessel in the hurry. In the whole a progress of 12 feet 8 inches aft and 11l forward was obtained, and there is every expectation that this will be considerably improved to-day, when the whole of the river tackling will be in fall operation. There were a good many visitors present during the day, amongst whom we noticed the Marquis of Stafford and Admiral Hamilton. At tide time an Incident occurred which it was at first thought would obstruct the proceedings, but which ' happily ended without any disagreeable consequences. A schooner coming up with the flood tide drifted, as appeared to be the case, right upon the launching ways, taking her berth right in the path of the Leviathan. The captain of the schooner, however, took the matter with the greatest noncha lance, and when the tide receded commenced cleaning the bottom of the vessel as coolly as if he had just hauled her up en a slip. When the tide rose the obstacle disappeared, sad the Leviathan made several more measured strides towards her ultimate destination. She is now little more than 70 feet from low watermark. THIS DAY. The arrangements in connexion with the launch era mutinied this morning. At 2 o'clock this afternoon the register showed a progress of 5 feet 6 inches at the bow and 4 feet 10 inches at the stern.

SUNDERLAND, THURSDAY EVENING.—The news of General Havelock's death reached this, his native town (of which Bishop Wearmouth forms the southern part), this morning, and caused a very wide spread feeling of sorrow.

Dundee and Wil son, W. 8., Edinburgh, as town-clerk for Glasgow, at a salary of 6001. It is a source of dissatietaction to many that the magistrates should overlook the legs' profession in Glasgow in an appointment of this kind. We have also heard great surprise expressed that the claims of Mr. Logic, W. 8., who is understood to be willing to accept the office and who has strong local and personal recommendations , be set aside for any gen tleman not immediately connected with Glasgow. In the Faculty of Procurators there must also surely be more than one or two eligible to such an office.—Olamow Daily Veil. THE REV. 0. C. GLEADON, OP ST.

HARDWICKE HALL: The Duke of Devonshire , on Wednesday leg, gave • bell at Hardwicke for his house hold, neighbouring tenantry, its., which proved a very agree able gathering, and will long be remembered by all present. The fine old entrance-hall was tastefully decorated with holly, evergreens, &c., and formed an excellent ball-room. A quadrille bind, led by Mr. Kirk of Chesterfield, was in attendance; and for the enjoyment of this guests, numbering nearly 300, all the arrangements were perfect. His with his usual kind feeling, came amongst the company, appeared highly pleased at seeing so many enjoying them selves. The Earl of Burlington and Hop. George Caven dish, and other members of the family, were also present. Dancing was kept up with great spirit until half-past eve in the morning, and the old baronial hall rang with the pride of the noble host. BALL AT ST. LUEE's HOSPITAL. -.- The usual New-year's bell of all the unfortunate patients in this insti tution took place last evening, and passed off with the mirth and éclat which have distinguished all previous gatherings of the same kind. The ball was held in ono of the principal wards of the hospital, which had been gaily decorated for this ocoasion with wreaths of evergreens and artificial flowers, all made by the patients themselves, and which were bung in pleasing festoons about every part of the room. A few pri vate friends of the officers of the institution, to the number of about thirty, were present; the rest of the attendance con sisted of about 120 of the ordinary male and female patients of the institution. Dance followed dance in rapid suoceesion. There were polkas, schen belies, wall zee, and quadrilles, when visitors and patients as the chose stood up, and fa which, but for an occasional evidence of respect and bashfulness on the part of the latter, it would have bid hayoseible to discern one from the other. Some soap was volunteered by a few of the visitors between the dances, and hem patients were instantly • distinguishable from the rest by the rapt attention wi th which they listened to the music, and the rather persistent vehemence with which they applauded it and strove for ma encore. One poor girl, indeed, was so carried away with " The Ratcatcher's Daughter," sung by a gentleman, se to stand up once or twice end manifest a most lively amid to take part in the chorus, but even in this little matter she checked herself, unaided, though the effort evidently so gulled no small amount of self-control.
