Mr. Tam:din, the returning was present. Mr. Parson repres •nte.l the oonservitivc in tervc4, and Mr. Leonard W. Friswell, of the Id sryleleine Constitutional Union, was also present. Mr. Dontorni n•prevented the liberal interest generally, instructed by Mr. Cooper for Mr. Harvey f. , wis, M.P.. and Mossrs. Spencer and F.dge, instructed by Dr. Saudwith, appear to defend the registration of liber.ds. Upon tho opining of the court the Revising Barriger sail that finding it would be impossible, on account of the large number of claims, to complete the revision of Marylebone and Fins bury within the time required by the act of parliament, he had obtained an interview with Mr. Justice Hanuen on the subject and laid before him the difficulty of the posi tion. The learned judge had promised to consider what was best to be done, and would very likely appoint a gen tleman to amid in the revision. Person said that, since the rising of the oourt yesterday, ho had seen several Boman catholic gentlemen, who considered they had been " done" by the monks who got on the list yesterday, as although ladies paid large sums for living in nunneries, A was not at all usual for monks to pay for their establishments. The learned barrister said that some mimpprehension might be caused by what bad appeared in the press on the subject. He started with the rile that, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, ho should take the form of de claration of the lodger and his witness as prune if-N.4 good. The declaration of the priests was that they were lodgers. and when Mr. Parson objected to them, no evi dence was offered as to a joint occupation. Under such circumstances it was impossible to strike them out, as the claims were prime facie goad. He would be willing even now to receive evidence upon the subject. said ho should not interfere further iu the matter. DR. JIILLBR AND MR. GLADSTONE. The following is the letter of the Vicar of Greenwich, road at the meeting at Doptford on Wed !MALI `•Tbe Vie&lage.Oreenwicb-park, Sept. 15. '• ar Sir,— I perceive Unit some of the clergy in various parts of the kingdom are taking an active part in election movements. Without wishing to reflect in the sm•dlo.t measure upon gentlemen as conscientious as myself, to Niy the least of it, 1 cannot take this view of my duty. I have decided political opinions, and take a lively in terest in the present state of public affairs, both as regards Church and State. But I feel that direct spiritual usefulness strain be my aim, and that for this I must ha content to Jam ince, to some extent, my liberty of speech and action in political matters. This usefulness would, as I judge, be materially lessenedamong some of my parishioners were Ito take any active part in the business of an election. But no one. I apprehend, will have any just cause of complaint against me as a minister of Christ if I di what my cons Felt-110e dictates, namely, record my vote in favour of 31r. Gladstone, thereby doing what I can to remedy the present anomalous and unjust state of things in Ireland, and at the same time to protest calmly, but firmly, against the attack's made upon that great statesman — attacks which, in some quarters, have exceeded the wide license of election warfare and party strife, and degene ratelinto the most unwarrantable imputations of base motives, and have not stopped shirt of personal calumny. —Yours, obediently. •• JOHN C. Mituia. Alex. Dickson. jun.. Esq..' NR. J. N. Jill!.. M.P. ON THE RELATION'S BE TWEEN MA TER. AND WOREMEN Mr. John Stuart Mill. M.P.. has addressed the following letter to the filveraird W ly Nr...., in whose columns the system of small per tentage partnerships between masters and men has been advocated as a means of adjusting the differences at prevent existing between labour and capital : '• I am quite of opinion that the various forms of co operation (amongst which the one most widely applicable at present to production, as distinguished from distribu tion, is what you term the system of small per tentage partnerships) are the real and only thorough means of healing the feud between capitalists and labourers, and while tending eventually to supersede trade unions, are meanwhile a natural and gradually increasing corrective of their operation. .• 1 look also with hope to the ultimate working of the foreign combination. Ihe operatives are now fully alive to this part of the ease, and are beginning to try bow far the combination principle among labourers for wages admits of its becoming international, as it has already become national instead of only locat and general instead of being confined to each trade without help from other trades. The final experiment has thus commenced, the result of which will fix the limits of what the trade union principle can do. And the larger view of questions which these considerations open up, and which is already visibly enlightening the minds of the more advanced to look for the ust work-pee le, will dispose them more and more improvement of their condition rather in becoming t eir own capitalists, or allying themselves on fair condif with the owners of capital, than in their present uncom to, table stud often disastrous relations with them. •• J.

' GALLANT REACrE BY A Boy.—A few even ings title* a boy, while bathing in the 011unorgatuthire Canal, below the bridge near the College Lock, jumped into deep water, and, not being able to swim, sank.

What made this more dif ficult was, that at the place where he was the wall of the canal bank is about two feet above the water; but the gallant little fellow, without any assistance, took the rescued lad down to a phier where lie (druid get him up on the shore.

Tula FRENCH CF-.4AitzwlTcri.—Belrs Life says " The Omaha% or French Cosarewiteh, will this year be comprised in the card for the opening day of the Paris Autumn Meeting instead of the second, day as hitherto. The race has been before the public longer than any other (Minium that we can recollect, books having com menced on it as early as June. Attention has been turned to England in search of the likely one, and since Fidelia's victory at Nottingham she has been as good a favourite as anything for money, whilst Lady Heuriette's runaway affair at Stockton made Fobert look dangerous for additional honours from France. It has been, to say the least of it, a most open race, and as several fresh candidates for favour have been coming into the market during the last few days, there is every possibility that it will sustain this character up to the time of starting." In the 6'portrourn selection is made in favour of Alabama, or Navarette, the writer adding that he thinks Lady Henriette will run into a place. 'lnc SCRATPITINO OF THY EARL—In accordance with Mr. Padwick's request (says the .Held), a court of inquiry of the Jockey Club will be held at Newmarket next week to investigate the circumstances relative to the scratching of The Earl for the Derby and St. Leger. THE I/OWING CHAYPIONSIMP.—Now that all the difficulties which have obstructed the satisfactory settle ment of this match have at length been smoothed away, both men are awakening to the necessity of an active course of training. The Tyneside man (ltandford), we (Mrs J.oi) understand, gives every satisfaction to his backers, while Kelley is doing good work, evi dently with the determination of leaving no stone un turned to maintain the title he has so long held against all comers. With both men tit and well at the post we may hope for an reciting struggle, and we trust to have to record a fair and honest race, free from all the squab bles and wrangles which have of late combined to bring prefessioual rowing into such disrepute. PROPOSED CHAMPIONSHIP IN Fonts.— Acconling to liars Life there is every probability of another match between two rare north country crews, the winner of which (as the south countrymen have taken no steps in the matter) will probably accept the offer of the Ward Brothers to row for the efTnpionship of the world. THE LATE WEIMLING MA'TCH BETWEEN ORAHATI AND friends of Graham, considering that they were not fairly dealt with by the Liverpudlians, will enter into fresh arrangements to wrestle the best of live falls, Cumterland and Westmoreland style, for 100/. a side, Graham allowing Irving ltd. for expensisi to wrestle in London; to take place in six weeks from signing articles.

The Army and Navy Gazette gives the following rumours It is rumoured at the dub that, when Rear-Admiral Warden is superseded from the command of the Channel Squadron, he will be succeeded by a vice admiral, and it is not unlikely that his successor will be found at Whitehall. It is now believed that Lord Clarence Paget will retain the command of the Mediter ranean Fleet until his time expires in April next, and that he has given up his original intention of returning to England during the approaching elections. Vice-Ad miral Sir Alexander Milne is expected to return to the Admiralty at Whitehall, from but brief leave of absence, on Monday or Tuesday next." TUN REFORMS IN TIIII WAR DIII`ARTSINNT.—In spite of natural difficultiea, and the obstructions created within the War-office itself against a project notoriously calculated to sweep away existing abuses, the control scheme, under Sir Henry Storks, makes slow but steady propels. Commissary-General Drake, C. 8., the acting Comptroller in Ireland, will introduce the system in that command from October 1 next, from which date Lord Shathnairn will convey his orders to and receive reports from the various supply departments, including barrack masters', through thus officer. No other comptrollers have yet been appointed to assist Mr. Drake, and it is proba ble that, for some MOllOlll to come, at any rate, the existing departmental officers on the spot will be available for carrying out the duties on the new principle. Very con siderable reductions will, it is believed, be effected in the various establishments by means of an amalgamation of duties, and a better division of labour, as well as by a much-needed concentration of the scattered store reserves and depots. It is understood that the control scheme will, before long, be introduced at several of the foreign statiens.—Army and Nary Casette. Tin BERMUDA, Duce.—After mature considera tion, says the Arose and Nary Geseffe, it has been decided by the Acinsiralty that the great Bermuda Dock &all winter at Sheerness, and not proceed to Portland until the spring of next year. Messrs. Campbell, Johnstone, and Co. have eighty skilled artisans employed at present in completing the work which was left unfinished at the time of launching. We find that during the gales which prevailed last week the dock dragged her anchors about three quarters of a mile, and this curumstance naturally caused groat anxiety to Captain Superintendent W. K. Hall, who felt that he was answerable to the public for the safety of property representing something like a quarter of a million sterling. It Is stated (aaya the Army and Navy (lrrzelte) that Captain Doys, of her Malady's ship Warrior. is to be tried by court-martial at Devonport, for having run his ship into the Royal Oak, causing a damage which has been only repaired at a cost of several thousand pounds of the public money. It is further said that the Commander-in- Chief at Devonport, Sir W. F. Martin, will bo the presi dent of the court. TIIE RIFLED OF THE VOLI'NTRERS.—The Army apd Nary Ca.:etie has an article on the question how the volunteers should be aimed. After remarking that the regular army is now well supplied with Sliders, it urges on the authorities the fact that the volunteers are, at pre sent, armed with a weapon which, for all practical purposes. is simply useless, and says we should not dare to allow the volunteers to take the field with the muzzle-loading Enfield, adding that if we did so their blood would be upon our heeds. " A more popular measure," remarks our contemporary, " could hardly be taken—to put it on low grounds—than to give breech-loaders to the volunteers. And the deci sion may be conic to with an easy confidence that neither party will hereafter venture to attack the expenditure to which it might give rise." WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) SAT( POET.

THE ELECTION.—An extraordi nary advertisement, addressed to the electors of Mid- Surrey by Mr. Marsh Nelson, appears in this morning's Tiow; being directed chiefly against Mr. C. H. Roberto. With regard to one of the statements therein, we may say that Mr. Robert, ha.. never been re premented iu the London journals as a member of the bankingtirm, although his grandfather and father were in that pooitimi, some of his nearest relatives are at the present time. The clerk to the justices nt Colchester states that Victoria Harmer, lately described as severely dealt by at the hands of the Colchester Mildly so far from being a young and childish offender, is a common woman of the town, 22 years of ago. Within the last seven months she has been three times before the bench for misconduct, having only been liberated from gaol (where she had been confined for drunkenness and disorderly conduct) tea days before the present charge against her was made and proved—i. e., not merely of picking a small sprig of lavender, but of jumping upon the palings in front of complainant's house and wilfully polling down and des troying the lavender bush. Mr. Brandon expresses his astonishment that the directors should refuse, at any rate neglect, to attach third-class carriages to every ordinary train, since it is a fact that the third-class passengers, with the present very insufficient accommodation grudgingly provided for their use, actually produce in bard cash nearly twice as much as do the first-claw passengers, and almost half as much again as do the second class. The returns of the three clashes for the year 1666 were as follows : - First etas 3,930,01.1/. second-cla= , , 4.889,237/. third-class, 6,10.5,303/. The Bangalore, which siTived yettorday at Southampton with the India mail, experienced very bad weather on her homeward passage. Severe Munn+ of thunder and lightning were experienced in the Mediter ranean. Just before the Bangalore entered the Bay of Biscay the thunder and lightning were terrific; one daah blinded all who were on deck for about a minute. The half-yearly report to be submitted by the directors of the Midland Great Western Railway shows signs of returning prosperity.

The traffic receipts of the line continue to show very good increases, and we are informed that a considerable portion of the increase is due to the new traffic between Bedford and London. The traf fic carried over the Metropolitan by the Midland considera bly exceeds the amount originally anticipated. and it is stated that the Metropolitan will receive ' in the shape of tolls, more than the minimum payment fixed under the agree ment between the two companies. The line will be offi cially inspected by Colonel Hutchinson. of the Board of Trade, on en early day next week : and if the opening is sanctioned, of which there can be no doubt, judging from the present condition of the works, the whole of the pas senger service, including the express trains, will be re moved from the Omit N'orthern at King's-cross, to the new Pancras statien.—Railierry Sew..
