Not content with the results of the late general •lectioe, the Tories are resolv..d to have a Little Go at the seats vacated by their gamesmen in office. The unavailing advantages gained by them in April last cost them very dear. They won several tricks, no doubt; but after all they lost their time and moot y, f,r they lost the game. Undeterred by their recent experience, they fondly dream of retrieving some of their disasters by making a ran at those who have in the natural order of coostitutiorial things been summoned to supersede them. The writs cannot, by the rules of the House of Commons, be moved for till this day ; yet already preparations have been making to sprier the rv-e!ection of certain prominent members of the new Administration. Lord Jowl kit:matt. cantor, indeed, be disturbed in the representation of the City. Two a'tempts have been made within a brief interval to subvert the position he has held as repreeestatiee of the 'metropolis of the world, hat with singularly ill success. Neither Mr. RAIKES CORSI/ nor Lord STANLEY will be induced to try again that desperate adventure ; and when they have failed who would make the attempt? Equally hope less would it be to set op a I hirbyits competitor ia the Radnorshire boroughs against Sir GEORG, Law to; or at Morpeth, against the return of Sir Oroll6ll GREY; or at Wolverhamptoo, against Sir RICHARD BETIALL. But in other places mischief, it is hoped, may be done, or at all events annoyance given, to the newly-appointed officials ►bout to appear on the hustings. Pre-eminent among the resentful struggles we an thus probxbty about to witness will, it is said, be that for the representation of the University of Oxford. Melon], having committed suicide, eon not forgive Mr. GLaristoNt for sitting by un disturbed during the gradual perpetration of the act, and not preventing it. Still more provoking and unpardonable is it to Sod him on the morrow of the funeral to which he bore the part of mute, laying aaide the garb of mourning, and, like a et nieibie man, answering when celled upon to perform the duties of a citizen and a statesman. For a year and a half Mr. GhatiaTonit had given the Tories a disinterested support in Parliament ; he had done more, for he had, against the remonstrances of private friends and the admonitions of self-interest, waited a winter on a thankless errand, in the hope of enabling the Getbyite Government to win the credit of settling the lonian question. To all enlidtations to become the cabinet colleague of Lords Unit miiiionti and HAYDN WAY the right boo. gentleman turned, indeed, a deaf ear. Not even the leadership of the Commons in proximate reversion, if not is prcescati, could lure him from his inde pendent place below the gangway. Ile was willing to serve the party which Lord Dural and Mr, Gleam, led, but not to be served by them. And foe this he is now to be made the object of personal attack and electioneering persecu bon, by the ineeneate faction on whose errors he too long looked leniently. The Marquis of enaritio-• will, it is understood, be brought fo-ward as the ehanipiou of Conseivatista pure and simple, by the friends of that aboard and obsolete superstition in .he University. What the noble lord ban done to merit this singular mark of confidence we should be rather cations to learn. When previously in the House of Commons he took ro very prominent part a the dseussios of public affairs. As Secretary to the Treasury he maimed ia making • report respect. ing the reorganisation if the Civil Service, some of the suggestions evietaised is which have since been acted on, and others thrown &aide, but none of which can lowly be est clown as characteristi cally Calfeetirative. Soon afterwards be was chosen Chairman of the North Western Rail wsy Company, and to the duiiire of that position he has devoted, we believe, the last tire or sex year. of his life. In IBS; he was offered the principal governorship of Australia by Lord PAL' MithArt.A. bat he preferred to beer rule at home over luggage trains, and to guide the policy of com prison rates and compromise, for • stipend of 2,0001. a year. How all this peculiarly Ste him to represent the learning of Oxford in Parliament we do sot precisely see the ides of intellectual or poli tical competitors between such a person as Lord (At esioote sad the first orator of his age and country It would be aboard to speak of. But Oxford, which elected Sir fluster Bt.t.t, in preference to Sir Repl•lLla PH I. some thirty years ago, does not seem to be c &robin of cumprebendiag :he absurdity. A Doke's eon, urn though the nos he a plodding seamen. plan man like Lord enAnoo.,and the Dekesobetter thin hr, (.race of Hi catrictitir, has still a certain charm for academie tuftlinntere. Other chance or claim on his ono amount Mr. G LAMM:telt oppo nent can Lave none. Religious bigotry and political resistance may of course adhere to him, as bees will settle upon any bush that happens to he in their way in hiving time, whether it be • " laurel from Pericus' sid,," or a bramble from Stowe. Tree address which Mr. GUI DATONE has lamed in the form of a letter to the Provost of °kith, is not, we think, peculiarly calculated to disarm opposition or rally support. It is in its way the very perfection of Gliolstrnian style, smooth, flacon, familiar, and inoffensive, having about it the undid aft of one who wishes to have no reserve with you, and yet so artistically vague and ensile oa the points you are most curious about, as to leave you nearly as m uc h in as d.rk as you were Wore. No doubt his position was a somewhat embarrassing one. Mr. ' OhstiiiLtixes pride will not allow him to admit that he has come out from Toryism because he has joints! 1. , 4ed P Lte ZISTOh . S AdlhiLiittlltloo ; yet he Ataxia's!, scrim to agent IWO right to be considered a liefesvarr by Teases of the *hare he took in pre. win Lewd AIIIII.DMI'S Bill ef 1654, mad on ftermat of the support he Ina ready to have given Lard Dail this year, had he followed the counsels of Messes HXIIII, and Witten-E. It will be re sidlected that their proposition was a 201, franchise is counties and 61. in towns, but that u regarded se-distribution of seats y ware not prepared to go any further than the colleagues from whom they severed themselves. Mr. GLADoTOXL avoids prudently all recurrence to his unfortunate defence of rotten boroughs; but on the whole, his enuncia t►on of Ministerial opinions ou the subject of Re form is precisely such as would not do elsewhere. We heartily wish to see hint distance his oppOOOM is the contest pith which he is threatened, and we have very little doubt that he will do so. But we suinot for the sake of any individual, however gifted, allow such a manifesto as his to pass unno ticed, the more especially es it is the list which has appeared from the pen of one of the new Ministry. Some allowance may be made for the peculiar tem perature of Oxford ; but Oxford is not England, and it is the judgment of Engl-nd that must be satisfied. THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 22. IMO.

" The enemy who still infest these countries are not armies who menace our city, but fugitive bands who, in opening the way of retreat, leave, wherever they go, traces of their barbarity and their execrable domination, now finally overthrown. Tho moment has come for accomphabiog the country's vengeance, for fighting in the name of your brothers, dead on the battle-field or upon the gibbets of Mantua,—for continuing your splendid traditions of glory. To the rage of your enemies, who are forced to abandon this beautiful country for ever, hasten to augment the ranks of the volunteers.

IMPRESS FROM PARIb. (11011 001 OWW PAltls, TeIIBDAT Evemno. I hear that a dispatch arrived in Paris late this afternoon stake that the Austrians are retiring be yond the Flintier. They evacuated their positions on the approach of the allied armies. The expecta tions of n great battle on this side of the Mincio, therefnee, fall to the ground. It seems that the Austrians won't fight outside their quadrangle. 'The Moeiteur of Jane 19 gave what purported to be an " exact" account of the French casualties at the battle of Magenta, and observed that they were less numerous than the original estimate. The statement, as it is now officially admitted by the Morsiteur itself; was "materially" wrong. It re presented the sum total of the losses as 4,000 odd, but the addition of the it2ms of which that aggregate was assumed to be supposed, gave only about 2,000, which was the number stated in the first telegram from the Emperor to the Empress. The Mossifeur to-day rectifies the return, and states the total low in killed, wounded, and missing, "known at the war oboe up to June 20," at 4,199. But returns have yet to be received from some corps present both at Magenta and Malegnsuo. The Gazette de France, not without reason, takes credit to itself for having been the only journal in Paris that ventured to point out the palpable error of the Moniteur. It was well known, and had been pointed out in a lithographed correspondence, bat so perfect is the discipline which governs the Paris press, that when the official journal affirms that 1 and 1 make 4, it thinks itself bound to reproduce the statement with out comment. The positive prohibition of the Pacha of Egypt against proceeding with the works of the Sues Canal is an unexpected blow to M. Lesseps' friends here, who had flattered themselves that all opposi tion was at an end. M. Lessepe himself, however, can hardly have been ignorant that the tolerance hitherto afforded him rested only on the assump tion that his works were of a merely experimental character, and made for the purpme of completing his surveys. He moat have been aware that the countenance gives by the Viceroy to the project bas always been contingent upon the approbation of the Sultan, which has not been, and is not for the pre sent likely to be, given. The Univers pretends that ' the Viceroy now acts at the instigation of England, who has promised her influence with the Porte to have his son Pomona recognised as heir-apparent. I observe in one of your evening contemporaries a suggestion that the news of the Emperor having sent the French correspondents away from Lombardy cannot be correct, because M. Tenter, of the &idle, after parsing a few hours in Paris, has returned to Italy. That M. Texier is now on his way to " Italy" is quite true, but I read in the Nord of Brunel, that "In consequence of difficulties in the way of following the army, M. Texier has gone to Romagna." The statement which 1 made on Thurs day remains therefore uncontradicted. The Bourse has been heavy. The Rent, for ac count dropped at one time to 62fr. 6c. A few pur chases sufficed to produces reaction for the close, and the last prices were 62fr. 38c. for cub and 62fr. 26c. for account, being a fall of 6e. ►nd I6c. dlobilier fell 61r. 26c. But very little business was done in railways, and the closing quotations are as nearly vs possible those of yesterday. The Prase says in its weekly commercial review: The commercial movement is kept up. Business has sot indeed yet acquired all the activity which it should have at this aealoo, but there is as end to that ut , er stagnation which prevailed at the beginning of the year and at the breaking out of the war. Many manufacturers are OW buying considerably, sad as stocks were very low priced sae looking upward'. Wools and silks, especially, are higher. Large purchases in foreign wools have been made at the public asks of Condon and Antwerp, end oleo at Breslau. The fairs entertained of a material falling off in the coop of silk is Lombardy end Piedmont, together with unsatisfactory accounts from the south of Prams; has induced the menufac torus of Lyons and Bt. Etienne to increase their stock', and • rise in the raw material has been the campmate. Cottons are still very high in comparison with the prim of tisane, at Rouen and Motheaten ; but this I. accounted foe by the great demand in England, whose exports to the But Indies have cilia& rably augmented within the last two years. The branch of industry which chiefly soles at present is that of the workers in metals. Scarcely any article fetches • remunerating price. Many factories are either shutting up or discharging some of their mon. The state of things is not better abroad thaw it is In France. At Glasgow prices see lower than they have ever been store 1862. In Bo!gium severe' tarmac• we ex targuished, and there is a talk of lowering wages. The hare of injury to the corn crops from the late storms are neatly dispelled. The markets are generally lower. The wise trade is brink, and price" are firm. There is a rise at Berry in wino of the south of from sft. to 10h. the hectolitre. The Debate desires to put commercial men on their guard against the loud cries of distress raised by the irohnissters. It does not deny that the un certainty of the moment may press heavily upon the iron as well as upon other trades; but inasmuch as no factory of any note belonging either to the state or to great companies has yet been closed, it is in ensdulous when croakers prophesy a general strike of work in private establishments. The number of new gunboats for which the go vormeect here just nada a oontrant is eighteen. They are fanderst,od to have beoa taken by six builder' at the follow ing prices :—Gteen, two at 241. 164. per tin; %Vivant, four at W. 10a ; Mare, tikes et 211. 10a.; Ratrall, four at 201.
