LONDON, FRIDAY, OCT. 9. TILE REPRESENTATION OF MINORITIES. The Conservatives made a wanton sacrifice of traditional principles to present interests when they inserted the Minority Clause in the Reform Act. It was in no sense a child of their own ; they had borrowed the infant from the philosophical Radicals, and then starved it so that the parenta themselves could no longer recognise their offspring. To have either meaning or consistency, the repre sentation of minorities should bo applied imparti ally over the whole country, and applied to a system of personal not local representation. If electoral districts were substituted for our present constituencies, there might be groat force in the plea that, in order to make the House of Commons as accurate a mirror as possible of the people it pro fesses to represent, every section of national opi nion ought to be allotted a proportionate number of numbers. In other words, if every member re presented the same number of doctors a good deal might be said in favour of somo such &igloo as Mr. HARE'S. But with the distribution of electoral power which at pre sent prevails in England, to talk of repro hcnting minorities is to gild refined gold. They are over-represented already. What is every small borough, every constituency in which this or that local magnate " has influence," but a repro aented minority ? To introduce the same result in another shape, as was done by the act of 1887, is to destroy the main reason for keeping these THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY K constituencies in being. In a philosophical Radi cal this is an intelligible and oonsistent act, but for the Conservatives to recklessly oadmiger - the whole fabric of local representation is simply suicidal. Of coon* they had a reason for running this risk. They bad an eye to an immediate party advantage, and to secure that they willingly sacrificed party principles. Indeed, by the close of the session of 1867 they had become too well trained to mind such a trifle as this. They had determined to oat their cake regardless how it might interfere with their having it. The advantage in question was that the minority clause was only to be applied to a few large oonstituencies ; and as those have an ugly trick of returning Liberal members it was a clear gain for the moment to make their possession of three representatives an MOWN for practically reducing the number to one. For this is what, as now applied, the minority clause aims at. Man chester or Birmingham is to return, if the oonser vative scheme answers, two liberals and one con 'creative. In other words, Manchester or Bir mingham is to count, in • division, for no more than Woodstock or Caine. It tarns out, however, that by careful organisation the majority can too cure the return of all their candidates, and efforts are being made in the three-cornered boroughs to make this remit certain. Of course it involves some sacrifice of individual preferences, and brings us a step nearer to the American system► of nomination by Conventions. We regret both these consequences, but the responsibility of bringing them about must rest on the Con efTVatiTO party. If they had never tam pered with constitutional custom in the matter, Liberal constituencies would never have been driven to adopt these expedients, in order to prevent themselves from being reduced to the voting level of the smallest borough. The meeting of the Liberal committees, which was held in Cannon-street yesterday afternoon, was the be ginning of snoh an organisation for the city of Lon don ; and, unless the Liberal electors are willing to see their voting power reduced by half, they must be content to follow implicitly the directions put forth for their guidance. The repeal of the Minority Clause, which can hardly fail to be one of tho im provements introduced into the Reform Act by the new parliament, will speedily restore them their old freedom of action. entered within the wells the use of liquor is abso lutely prohibited.

THE University of Oxford is suddenly called on to take her share of electioneering excitement. The custom which gives her burgesses a life tenure of their seats, unless they venture, like Sir ROBERT Pm and Mr. GLADSTONE, to rise above the decorous level of conservative partizanship, promised to save her the trouble of contest next November. Now, however, Sir WILLIAM HEATII COTE'S retirement casts upon the University the burden of choosing a successor. It is not im possible that a candidate may be found who, even at this juncture, may unite the suffrages of Conservatives and Liberals. The latter section of the constituency have long looked to Sir Roursom Ewalt as the natural heir to Sir WILLIAM HEATIIOOTE'S seat ; and his high personal character, his scholastic at tainments, and his long connexion with tho University, make up an array of claims which, at any lees critical moment than the present, might have deterred the Conservative party in the University from offering any serious opposition. It so happens that the very circum stances wbichwill lead the supporters of the Govern ment to contest every seat in the coming election, and so might have been considered fatal to Sir ROUX DELL Pszaiza's unopposed return, seem rather to point in the opposite direction. His hesitation on the question of the Irish Church may, perhaps, atone in Conservative eyes for his general support of Mr. GLADSTONE. If this should prove to be the case, the University could hardly find a more fitting representative. If, from any cause, Sir ROUNDELL PALMER should decline to stand, it is to be hoped that the Liberal members of convocation will not be long in finding a proper candidate. It is too much the fashion to assume that the University of Oxford is wholly given over to Toryism. On the contrary, we believe that there is a good deal of genuine liberalism among the younger clergy, of all theological schools, while among the elder there is considerable latent indignation at the way in which they, in common with the Whigs, were " dished " by the government in 1867. Honest men who had boon induced to turn out Mr. GLADSTONE because he advocated a moderate measure of Reform, have not forgotten that Mr. HARDY, when it suited his turn, was perfectly ready to support a far more revolutionary measure. Nor do wo feel at all sure that the question of the Irish Church will be any real obstacle to the success of a Liberal candidate. Of course we do not moan to imply that there will not be plenty of obstacles, and those very serious ones ; but we do not think that their number will be much increased by tho events of last session. The idea of disestablishment is by no means obnoxious to a considerable number of the clergy, especially of the High Church section. Nor is that reaction against Liberal ideas which at the last election was so noticeable among young men who had recently taken their M.A. degree, by any means eo marked now. Altogether, therefore, we should by no means despair of seeing half the representation of the University wrested from the Conservatives, if a candidate likely to unite all shades of Liberal opinion can but be discovered in time. INEBRIATE ASYLUMS. Ix the October number of the Atlantic Monthly is a narrative by Mr. PARTON of a visit to the largest of the Inebriate Asylums in America, one of which is situated at Binghamton, New York. This institution is under the care of Dr. ALBERT DAY, who formerly filled a similar position in the Washington Home at Boston. The treatment con sists in rest from the ordinary vocations of the patient, pleasant occupation, a wholesome diet, croquet, billiards and bowling, a library, reading room, music and flowers, gardening and " good " company." These are some of the influences used to prevent the recurrence of the desire for alcohol. The system is voluntary, but patients are not al lowed to visit the village without permission, and on a violation of this rule they are placed in con finement. We read :—" It occasionally happens " that a patient, conscious of the coming on "of a paroxysm of desire, asks to have " the key of his room turned upon him till "it is over. It is desired that this turning "of the key, and those few barred rooms in ono " of the wards, shall be regarded as mere remedial " appliances, as much so as the bottles of medicine "in the medicine chest. It is, however, under " stood that no one is to be released from confine " went who does not manifest a renewed purpose " to refrain." It is stated that a great many of the patients come to the asylum intoxicated, being only able by such moos to screw up their courage. Once . . _ DEATH OF MR. HARRY CHESTER. Tux death of this gentleman, whioh took place on Monday last, will evoke a feeling of deep re gret in a wide circle to whom his genial nature and his active labours in the amelioration of the lot of his fellow-countrymen had long been fami liar. His presence will be especially missed at the gatherings of the Society of Arta. The recent history of the Adeiphi institution has been almost identified with him, so constant was his attendance and prominent his share in its proceedings. The advancement of education by means of middle class examinations and other similar agencies had in him an earnest and able advocate. In the various social questions now pressing upon the attention of practical men, his energetic mind found frequent and useful occupation. Ur. Cam= was not unknown in literature, and his writings always contained some arguments or illustrations out of the ordinary range. The oar rent number of Macnediaa's Maganae has a plea santly running paper from his pen entitled " The " Food of the People." Mr. CIDIBIIIB was in his 63rd year. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) AND TIDI 1117071 The world apparently knows as little of its martyrs as of its great men, observes the Mies, sad would probably have gathered its Brat knowledge of all Lord Ranelagh's sufferings from his tombstone if he had not fortunately happened to be colonel of the South Mid dlesex Volunteers. The touching interchange of confi dence between Lord Ranelagh and the regiment he com mands reflects eternal honour upon both colonel and regiment, considered merely as moralists and gentlemen. Row far it is conducive to their discipline as mili tary men, or a good precedent for colonels in general, is another question. If the regiment chooses to accept the colonel's explanation, well and good. But what if it be not satisfied ? It would be very awkward, in the con, say, of a French invasion, to have the South Middlesex Volunteers, or any equally gallant corps, refusing to be led into action by their colonel because he bad tailed or declined to clear himself of the charge of immorality. Looking at Lord nonslagh's troubles ae described by him self, the Times never remembers to have mot, except, perhaps, in an Evangelical tract, with an instance of sufferings so great following upon a sin so small. WOWEN VOTEBI. About one thousand women will, says the Daily News, eo far as can be foreseen, cast their votes at the next elec. Lion. The most astonishing thing about the enfranchise ment of these persons, end the prospect of their being followed by many more, is the stoicism with which it seems to be regarded by all. The Daily Nees believes that much will be proved to have been done for the order and decency of our elections by the admission to direct and legal influence of many men who hitherto have only been able to manifest their political sympathies by indirect and noisy methods ; and much more may be anticipated when women are entitled to demand that the polls shall be made fit for the exercise of their recognised rights at them. 4113 CITT ILBOTION. The Trlepraph points out as the 'probable result of the minority clause so far us the representation of the City is concerned, that when the chief question of the hour baa to be decided—the question whether Ireland shall be freed from an iniquitous system of religious inequality— one of the most emphatically liberal constituencies will vote with only half its old power, and the main question to be met at the hustings is whether the electors of the City will submit to the loss of two members. The only means by which this result can be avoided is unity on the part of the liberal electors, and concurrence in a pre arranged plan. Some liberals may most strongly favour Baron Rothschild, some Mr. Crawford, some Mr. Goschen, and others Alderman Lawrence; but, for the general good, all such preferences must be waived, and the votes given in accordance with the guiding directions of the committees. Let that be done, and success is aerial; for the liberal majority is overwhelming. The Star commends the action taken yesterday at the meeting of the Liberal Registration Society. That meet ing was not convened to determine the details of any plan of operation, but simply to test the unanimity of the party, its leyalty to the cause at stake, and its resolution to put aside all personal considerations which might Inter fere with the attainment of the common end. The trial has triumphantly succeeded. Oa the part of both can didates and electors there was exhibited a disposition to tight the battle out upon public principles, and neither to expect nor to concede political support in obedience to priv►te interests or predilections. tic Court.

Letters from Warsaw of the 29th ult. and the Ist inst. state that, although it had been announced that the Emperor would arrive at 11 o'clock in the morning, he did not, in fact, arrive till 11 at night. The police, who had urged the population to testify its joy by flags and decorations, after wards countermanded these manifestations. It was evidently desired to prevent the preparations from being made too early, for at 7 o'clock in the evening police agents wont to all the beads of houses to announce the approaching arrival of the Czar. This time they not only asked for the exhi bition of flags and decorations—they ordered at the same time an illumination. The latter was, however, only of a second-rate order. On the day after his arrival the Czar attended the Russian church. The most abeolute silence reigned in the city. Every one took off his hat before the Sovereign, the offence fur the omission of this act of polite ness being imprisonment. The precautionary measures adopted for tho royal visit exceeded all that could Le imagined. Prior to the Emperor's setting out for the church police employes entered all the houses before which the cortege must pass to search the garrets and attics, and they made every proprietor or principal tenant responsible for any attack which might be made from the house upon the Czar. As soon as the Czar reached the fron tier measures of precaution of every kind were multiplied. During the presence of the Czar there is a renewal of the rigid orders for the closing of houses which were carried out at the time of the revolution of 1863. Masters are made responsible for allowing their apprentices to go out, and teachers are obliged to make patrols in succession to watch the youth of the schools. OUR PARIS LETTER. (720 N OWN OWN PARIS, TamanLy Evierria. You are aware that the Austrian govertunent has determined upon handing over to justice several Bohemian bishops, on account of the orders issued by them to their clergy relative to the now law of marriage, which they declare to be anti-Christian, and which they have refused to obey. A difficulty arose as to tho tribunal to which the bishops should be amenable as the ono which properly exercised jurisdiction in the case; and then the question was whether the bishops should be arraigned on the charge of an act done in the exercise of their functions, to be dealt with by the ordinary tribunals, or whether they had a right, as in France, to be tried by an exceptional court. It appears from a Vienna letter, published in the North East Correspondence, that the question in volved in these trials has boon solved by the Minister of Justice, M. Herbst, who refers the case to the common law. Therefore, the bishops will be cited before the ordinary tribunals; but those courts may declare themselves incompetent if they think it their duty to do so. The Bourse opened with about the same quo tations as at the closing on the previous day. The Iterate having some time stood at 69fr. 2210., appeared to remain stationary at 69fr. 200. ; but it suddenly fell to 69fr. 11}0., on the report of a military convention concluded between Prussia and the Grand Duchy of Baden. With respect to the conversation about Spain, the abdication of Juan de Bourbon, Wee the protest of the Queen, was treated as matter of indifference; and the internal discords of the country were the main topics of discussion. The Portuguese government has contracted a loan with the Societe Generale of France, in addition to the loan effected in London.

M. Drouyn de Lhuys has returned froui his autumnal •illegiatura at Lucerne. A Madrid letter of the 4th, in the Iradjpendanci., ssys :—" The people destroyed the arms at the Pruwian enibiusy, mistaking them for those of Spain; but having found out their error they wont to the ambassador to express their regret. The members of the embassy laughed at the mistake and distributed cigars to the crowd." According to a letter from Techken of the 22nd ult. to the Nodes-, r, the Emir enjoys "perfect health." Thu same communication reports that the markets of Central Asia are glutted with green teas from India. No fewer than 6,000 camels laden exclusively with this fragrant leaf have recently arrived at Bukhara. In addition to the Jews in the place an extensive English company is sail to be en gaged in this commerce." We read in the Constitutionnel :—" The Therms has stated that one of the first revolutionary banners hoisted in Madrid was displayed from the mansion belong ing to the Countess Montijo, the mother of the Empress. The explanation is very simple : the countess is in the country, and the revolutionary junta of the quarter, having installed itself in the house, hung out its flag from the balcony." The Siiele sari, "We ere going to witness a spectacle of disarmament, but it is not that of Europe. It is known that war has existed for several years between MM. Pereire and Mires. Arbiters who have lately inter. vened have succeeded in reconciling these hostile bankers. Peace is made! The signatures were affixed on Tuesday evening:. It i; a curious fact that when the Brazil mail packet Danube left Rio de Janeiro on the 9th of Sep tember, Bahia on the 13th, and Pernambuco on the loth, no news had reached Brazil of the terrible earthquakes that had desolated the countries on the other side of the Andes a month previous. The Sitlcle says that the day before yesterday, during the performance at tho Porte St. Martin of Cacho, George Sand's new play, when Madlle. Thullier (the Korigane), in the ith scene, had to say to M. Roger (Saint tildes) " Fly, fly !" and M. Roger was about to disappear, the actress was heard to murmur, "Ah ! I can go on no longer. I can go on no longer;" and was seen to fall flat on the stage. M. Roger, rushing from the side scene, and seeing his companion lying senseless, immediately caused the curtain to be lowered. A moment after this ft was again raised, and M. lisserant, with an agitated voice, announced that Mdlle. Thullier, being seriously indisposed, could not possibly continuo her part, which, indeed, was nearly concluded. The last scene, in which the Korigano did not re-appear, was played in the midst of much emotion. Tuz firAxisn Lanny Ayn TIIE Etr.unsu RE voLuitog.—A correspondent writes : •• It will be in the memory of many still living, that Queen Isabella was enabled to ascend the throne from which she has just been expelled mainly through the assistance of an army numbering nearly 30,000 troops, which, with the sanction of the British government, was raised by General Evans in this country; that was in 1835-6. The British govern ment became security to the volunteers that they should have all the rights and privileges of the British soldier. After fighting many battles, and securely placing Isabella upon the throne, the British Auxiliary Legion of Spain, as the army was called, was disband and of the 5,000 that returned to this country—the major portion having been killed in battle, or died from disease and other causes incident to a campaign —not more than a few hundreds now remain. The. few hundreds appear to have bad some apprehension that the events now ownring in Spain might possibly affect the regularity with whioh hit her to their pension Las been paid, as within the past few days a deputation has waited upon Senor Casterneda, of Albany-street, through whom the pension money is received, and it is satisfactory to state that they have been assured that, in the absence of any positive instructions to the contrary from the provisional government that has been set up in Spain, the money will be paid on the day when it becomes due. had the answer not been of this favourable character, it was the intention, it is said, of the old to ail to the British government, who in seouri that they should have all the rights and pri v il eges o f British soldiers, it is conceived undertook likewise to meet any leeks on the part of the Spanish nation." GALLANT CONDULT OF A YOUNG NAVAL OFFICER. —On the night of the lit of Juno last, while her 6.4: ) sloop Myrmidon wa s lyi ng i n B anana Creek, River Western Africa , an able ll6 - •1101110, named Torrance, fell overboard. Sub-Lieutenant Lionel De Sausmarea was officer of the watch, and though a strong current was run ning at the time, and the river is infested by sharks, this gallant young officer, with the utmost promptitude, jumped overboard, laid hold of the drowning men. and swam with him to the pier, oupportinfr him until assist ance nuns. As the man could not swim there is no doubt that be owes his life to the onuses of Mr. De ilausmares, and *soh conduct will probably be noticed In the proper quarter.
