SATURDAY, NOV. 21. THE WEEK'S WOEK. WE commenced the week's work with some un certainty, but with little misgiving. The week was before us, and, though we were confident as to the result of the appeal made to the constituencies of the kingdom, we naturally alvirtsl in that Lind of doubt which always exists in cases where "what is to be" has to be con !firmed and fixed by " what is." To-day ell uncertainty is removed, for the work that remains to be effected cannot substantially alter the work that has been accomplished. Up to this morning there have been 486 members returned to the approaching Parliament. Of these 316 are Liberals ; 170 Conservatives—giving a liberal majority of 146. There remain 172 snembers to be elected in order to complete the represeotation of the country. Therefore, if every member yet to be elected was a supporter of the tlovernment, Mr. DISRAELI would only have a majority of 26. But many of these seats are uncontested by Conservative candidates, and of those that are,—it is beyond question that several Of them will be decided in favour of the Liberals. The victory in the English boroughs has been Beehive, the gains of the Liberal party being 213; those of the Conservatives 94 ; giving a Liberal majority of 119, The victory in the fkotch boroughs has been overwhelming. There Ee sot II solitary Conservative from the Liberal and educated northern towns to weigh against the. 26 elected by the borough oonstitueneies of Soot land. Ireland ham sent 27 Liberals against 11 Con sere afire.. On the borough returns, therefore, the result stands thus:—Liberals, 366 ; Cons« , e ashes, 103. With this fact before us, thee.. can he no room for doubting to what side of politics the city and borough electors of the United King dom belong. The counties of course, where the territorial influence of the greet landed proprie tors prevails, cast a preponderant vote on the side of Conservatism. But even here the result is not adverse to the Liberal cause. There have been some defeats and some victories, but on which ever ['lido the scale inclines in the county elections Mr. Guentiroxn is sure of a strong and compact majority in the Home of Commons. There has not been a single day aim* Monday last that we have not had to rooord an addition to the first day's names. But those of yesterday are perhaps more cheering and more characteristic than any of those that have preceded it. The returns from Ireland are especially note worthy, considering that the Established Church in that country is the field on which the battle has been fought. Belfast, Londonderry, Carrickfergus, and Newry, all towns in the " black north," have teen won from Conservatism to Liberalism. The defeat of Lord CLAunx 11.1 MILTON, the son of the Duke of ABERCORN, and Lord-Lieutenant of Inland, in Londonderry, by Mr. DOWSE, whose candidature was " regarded with contempt" by the Conservative organs, has been so astounding that these same organs admit their inability to explain it. We tried that the electors of Middlesex will follow the lead of Pro testant Londonderry, and will on Tuesday next teach another son of the Duke of ABEncoaN, " the '• scion of a noble house," that he had no claims to rel , resent the metropolitan county of England. Evtn Bandon. on whose walls we's once ize,cribed. A Turk. or Jew. or Atheist May enter here, but not a Papi+t, has defeated the near relative of tho Earl of BAwboN in what was hitherto his pocket borough, and returned an independent Liberal end Protes tant in the person of Mr. Sit.tw. We triumph. therefore, along the whole line, in regard to the majority obtained, in regard to the character of the returns effected, and the amount of population which our majority represents in the country. Of course we could not have engaged in such a contest as that, which is virtually over this day, without some loss. We have gal lant chiefs to deplore ; but wo have the proud consciousness of knowing that they Fuld/Lined in the midst of tho strifo tho liberal ensign with courage and with gallantry ; and they have the satisfaction of feeling that, if dis comfited in the individual contest, tho party has achieved a signal and conspicuous victory. THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENWO, NOVEMBER movement. But neither the abolition of the lash, nor the twopence a day, or the volunteer move meat, would suffice to draw into the army • supe rior class of recruits. Sir CHARLES TREVELYAI has lent the weight of his authority as an anxious and attentive student of the problems of military economy, and of his own long administiatire ex perience, to another, and, as it seems to us, a more conclusive mode of strengthening and refining the military service, and raising it gradually to the highest level of a model army, small in numbers but highly instnteted,perfeetlyequipped, &polished weapon of the finest temper. As Sir HENZE BUL MIR said at Tamworth the other day, " Do not " let us have an army of one hundred thousand " men and pay the same for it that other nations " pay for an army of four hundred thousand " tuen." What England wants is a small, oom pact army composed of mon who, after a short term of garnet), will return to civil life, not with military vices but with military virtues; and with the prospect of obtaining civil employment in posts where the military virtues of order, method, discipline, trustworthiness, and activity are sure to be rewarded. Sir CHARLES publishes a letter he has received from Sir WILLIAM MANS FIELD, in which the Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Army warmly supports the prinoiplo of recruiting the subordinate branches of the civil ad ministration from the military services, and men tions award eases of the application of this prin ciple in India, where soldiers of the artilleryand of line regiments in the Bengal Presidency have b.sm selected for admission as students in the second department of the Thomason College, anti have passed in one or other of the examinations in the native language. Sir W. MANSFIELD appeals to several instances within his own command to show " bow the improved education among the lower " classes of late years inOrest Britain has come to " tell on the ranks of the army." In Prussia, nc-n-commissioned officers are rewarded, after a limited period of Denim, by civil appointments ; and in France, a certain number of elerkihips in the public offices has lately been reserved for dn.- &arced soldiers of good character. Since the Crimean war, something similar, in principle at least, has been established in England, in the creation of the corps of commissionaires, and in the employment of those useful and deserving men as public messengers and as office porters. There is nothing in all this that savours of what our neighbours call militairiene, or the pre dominance of the military element in the State. Nor is there the slightest fear of any such evil on our side of the Channel. What we want hero is an army whose superiority is not in the numbers on its nuu,ter roll but in its intelligence and instruc tion, and soldiers whose character and conduct under anus will qualify them for posts of honour and confidence in civil life when their short term of service is expired. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) The Times and Daily News both remark upon the fact that yesterday was a day of liberal triumphs, marked by only one signal defeat, and that waa the rejec tion of Lord liartingten by the constituency of North Lancashire. The Tones thinks the censers-Aires will naturally rejoice over this victory. Were it for no other reason it must be doubly gratifying to them, coming as it dom., amid a succession of defeats. The contest has, however, been invested throughout with an adventitious importance. The Daily News, on the other band, regards the defeat as a blow of which it would be vain to underrate the importance. The place which Lord Hartington holds in the counsels of the liberal party is due, not merely to the fact that ho represents the hereditary influence of the great whig family of the Caveudishes, but that he represents also their ability and devotion to liberal principles. The battl 3 was, however, fought against enormous odds. The per sonal popularity of Colonel Wilson Patten, backed by the influence of Lord Derby on behalf of his younger ron, Lave carried the day. The TeleyrapA says that the contest has been a struggle between two of the "great old houses ;" and hence the parliamentary .importance of the tight is by no means so striking as its social interest. The Herald regrets to Fsy that the last accounts of the Tri.h elections are not of so favourable a nature 10 might have reasonably beta anticipated from those previously received. The Standard is constrained to make the same admission. Referring to the close of the " little war" on the north. we'd frontier of India. the Pont points with satis faction to the policy of Sir John Lawrence'. ad minkration, which, it says, has been most Important and t•ignificant as contributing to the welfare and prosperity of that portion of her Majesty's dominions. MR. ROEBUCK'S F4REWELL. THERE would be something of dignity in the late member for Sheffield's farewell to his old borough if it came from anyone but Mr. Roe ant K. But the parade of bowing meekly to the decision of the new electors, of looking forward to a future in which the calm reflection of posterity shall reverse the judgment passed now, and the hackneyed " tag " as to faithful services do serving a different return, are all tinged with bathos when they proceed from Tear 'em. It is beyond Mr. Roenrcx's comprehension that men who are willing to do without him can be any thing but cruel, ungrateful, and base; and he now assumes the tone of a Christian martyr suffering all things fur the faith. We are not aware what the mighty sacri fices are to which Sheffield's late mem ber is so fond of referring. We knew that he was ready to throw up his seat a dozen years ago, and only retained it because he failed in obtaining the post and salary of chairman of the Board of Works ; and we also know that he has sat for Sheffield for a great number of years. But, apart from self-glorification, and the unrestrained e xenise of a capricious temper and a scolding t rngue, it is difficult to say exactly what Mr. ROEBUCK has done either for his constituents or the country. A political Narcissus enamoured of his own charms; a house of Commons Bhudda absorbed in the contemplation of his own ineffable perfection ; the learned gentleman has in reality been representing Mr. Roeercx all this time, rather than the prin ciples he has appealed to, or the people in whose name he spoke. Still, the will be a loss to the House of Commons. The most cantankerous of its members has gone, and there is always some thing mournful in losing the most perfect specimen of a particular genus. Now Mr. ROEBUCK has been snarling and biting all his life; until by mere practice ho became as proficient in these arts as men do who devote to one end the energies and the occupa tion of their lives. It is wore than a generation since Mr. ROEBUCK'S indiscriminate attacks in volved him in a harmless duel with the late Mr. BLACK, who, as editor of the Meriting Chronicle, resented the shameful imputations made upon him ; and the learned gentleman seems to have been abusing his fellow-creatures ever since. He now credits himself with the services he might have rendered, rather than those he has performed ; and whines about his age as if the borough of Sheffield had maliciously con trived to multiply his years by geometrical pro gression. That Mr. ROEBUCK should be older than he wishes is a misfortune he shares with many people of both sexes; and no more ex plains the reason of his defeat, than FAOIN's "an old, old man, my lord:" justified the of fences for which ho trembled in the dock. Mr. Itoettuea will be missed, but not mourned, and we see no reason why either the new or old portion of the Sheffield constituency should be preached at for its exercise of the constitutional privilege of free choice. CIVIL EMPLOYMENT FOR DISCHARGED SOLDIERS. Tim problem of recruiting for the Army without being reduced to the scum and the sediment of the population for aspirants to the honour of serving her MA.rxtrrr was becoming more and more difficult before flogging was abo lished and the pay of the private soldier woe raised twopenoe a-day. Crimean experiences, as related in village inns and cottages and in public house parlours, were not encouraging to men who could manage to escape starvation at home. The labour market had more and better prizes to offer to the industrious; the lash deterred all but the reckless or the worthless. The Irish supply of fighting boys was diminishing year by year. Military men in the late House of Commons used to say that the twopence extra a day would bring more recruits than the lash would deter. Civilians replied that the lash would deter more than the twopence would bring, but that both reforms were advisable and acceptable. Other causes have probably contributed to raise the character of the recruits for the British army, such as the taste for mi litary exercises promoted by the volunteer THE WEEKLY PRESS. The .Saturday Review thinks the new parliament faithfully enough reflects the national will. The borough members have been elected to do a certain and distinct and precise work, which is simple enough, and doe• not require much refinement, much reflection, much, it any independence. What seems to be the taste of the borough voters is little thought, no philosophy, no genius, no ori ginality, no " viewiness," no largeness of conception. Such is the work, and such the instruments. They will do the work in a dull, businesslike, commonplace, obe dient sort of way. If Mr. Gladstone is to bo earnest, the parliament will be earnest with all the merits and all t • drawbacks of earnestness. They used to give nicknames to parliaments; the new one may perhaps get to be deemed, if it is not called, Parlirteatniubs Proseicans. Small fear of its being run away with by ita own int petuobity. - While it is obvious that the household suffrage parlia ment has proved itself in the boroughs heartily liberal, and loyal to Mr. Gladstone, there are other features in the election which the Sprta for cannot regard without re gret uud surprise. First and most remarkable of these results has been the enormous and unsuspected strength which the conservative party have found in Lancashire, doubtless owing to the enormous pressure exercised by the conservative millowners ; and, secondly, the anti-Irish passions of many of the hands themselves, in the quarter of the country where Irish colonies are most numerousand powerful. To whatever causes, however, it be duo—there is no question as to the fact that whereas in almost all the great cities out of Lancashire the Reform Act has enor mously added to the strength of the liberal party, in Lan cashire itself it has certainly diminished it. The Lendoo Ittn'ew discusses the moral value of the elections. As it is quite evident there is still much bigotry in the country to overcome, and as the sooner it is attacked the sooner it will succumb, the great moral is that Mr. Gladstone, and especially his present policy, must be supported. Even his immediate ambition is Mentdied with the needs of the country. Only party organisation could have conquered the religious prejudice which the proposal to disestablish the lAA church evoked; and only Mr. Gladstone's lofty and impulsive devotion to political justice could have put party organisation upon such an enterprise. Mr. Gladstone, therefore, mud be supported as combining the two eassediah of party mas tery and high and generous political aims. Place him in power, and his unprecedented administrative seal and economy will give him great collateral popularity, while his measuree for the establishment of religious equality will give his rule an elevation of spirit sellout paralleled in history. The Ilzaminer says that Mr. Dimwit spoke at Aylesbury as one who felt it was not worth while to play the hypo- crite about the matter, or to choke down the attire:me of the final conviction in an ambitious lib—that " all is vanity." lb. Disraeli knew ea Tuesday eventag last, if he did not know before, that his term of ales draws to a close. Tbe great battle of sectarian asosadaney has beset fought and lest by the present owners of power.

SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY. The thirty-seventh season of this great institu tion commenced last night, with a performance of Mr. Costa's oratorio, Naaniam, by desire, and in the presence of their Royal Highnesses the Crown Prince and Princess of Prussia. '1 be selection of Mx. Costa's second oratorio for last n hi,' s opruing performance of the season was a compliment to its composer similar to that which the society paid to him on the occasion of their 500th concert on Dec. 13, last year, when Naansim was also given. This work, like its pre cursor, Eli, was composed specially for the Birmingham festival--the one in 1865, the other in 1864, each having received various performances by the Sacred Harm 3IliC Society; and the earlier work having just been produced with great success, under composer's direction, at Stuttgardt. The important soprano solos of Naansisti are so identi fied with the great singer (then Mdlle. Adelina Patti, now the Marchioness do Cane) by whom they were first sung at Birmingham, that it is a severe teat for any other singer to contend against the recollection of such au exquisite performance. The effect produced by Madame Lumens-Sherrington in this music, therefore, affords good proof, if any were wanting, of her powers and accomplish ments. Last night, as at the five-hundredth concert of the society last year, this lady rang the music of Adah with much refinement and grace of style—qualities especially recognisable in her delivery of the air, "They shall be turned back," and the expressive prayer (with chorus) "Maker of every star." Madame Sainton-Dolby, as before, gave great significance to the contralto solos, especially the beautiful air of the resuscitated child, "I dreamt I was in heaven." The subordinate soprano solos, including the air for the Shunamite, "Look up, my son," wore given with brightness and power by Mdlle. Enequist. The important music assigned to Elisha was, as on previous occasions, sung by Mr. Santley with that admirable command of the declamatory and cantabile styles which has long since rendered him eminent both in e.rarriatie and sacred music. Our musical readers will be glad to learn that, among other interesting features in the forthcoming perform ances, will be Beethoven's ()rand Mass in I), which has been several times so finely given by this society, but not for several years yak. E 4 CLEMASTICAL PREFERMEN rB.—John Ban is authorised to state that her Majesty has conferred the canonry at Westminster, vacant by the promotion of Archdeacon Wordsworth, on the Rev. Canon Prothero, and the stall to which he had been nominated at St. Mums Cathedral has been conferred on the Rev. Robert Gregory. vicar of St. Mary the Lees, Lambeth. The same journal is requested to contradict the statement that has appeared is several papers, that Mr. Disraeli has appointed the Rev. W. M. P. Pym to the vicarage of Ifugheurlon. Mr. Disraeli does not know the gentleman, and hay nomi nated no one. THE REFORM 'RACIER AND Tim ELEcrioxe.— At the weekly meeting of the council of the Reform League, held on Wednesday lastthe following resolution was unanimously adopted :—" That this council would cordially express their deep gratitude and obligations to the members of Mr. Beales's central and other committees, and the 7,160 truly independent electors of the Tower Hamlets who voted for him, for their seal, devotion, and great services in the election of the president of this league for that to an issue so nearly suc cessful ; and are strongly of opinion, from facts disclosed to them, that had the working-clam electors received free and uninterrupted fair play, and acmes to the polling booth without moleetationby police and other interferences, Mr. Beale' would undoubtedly have been one of the mambo" alerted." $ll/711111 iffoitEoE.—The sculptures from Heli carmine, which were cm their arrival deposited in Wa- Cashed& greeted for their reception outside the Museum, are at Modth in course of beiog removed to the interior, sad illigmd of in the Egyptian.

Ile declares that that body is illegal. The Lieu ienant-Governor has been arrested by Governor Veed fur con piracy to seise his office in the in terest of the Legislative, which body has adjourned without testing the disputed authority. A complete return from lowa shows that that State recently adopted negro suffrage by a small majority. Nearly complete returns show that General Grant's majority in North Carolina was 9,000.

OUR PARIS LETTER. FUME on OWN COIMISPOYDZIfT.) PARIS, FILIIKT EVErivo The Charirari says it had proposed to give a list of all the provincial journals prosecuted on account of the Baudin affair, but has been com pelled to renounce the project because it could not possibly have found room fur a cata logue raisoille , without publishing a special supplement. There is no exaggeration in this. The fatuity of the government will meet with terrible retribution. All over Prance speeches of counsel will echo the key-note struck in Psris by M. Garubetta, and as several of the provincial courts are far more independent than those of Paris, it is next to certain that some acquittals will be pronounced. A single acquittal in the present state of the public mind will be a disastrous government defeat. Yesterday was Queen Isabella's fete day, and some visitors, not numerous enough to be very flat tering to fallen royalty, went to her hotel with bouquets and compliments. The Emperor sent the Duke de Canibaceres, the Grand Master of the Ceremonies, to wait on her Majesty on his behalf.

The latest news from Brussels is to the olrea that the state of the Prince Royal, without having lost much of its gravity, is, however, become lege alarming, so as to lease some hope of a cure , only, the convalescence will be exceedingly loug, for, in the opinion of the medical men, the young Prince will require the most assiduous care daring one or perhaps several years. The Courrier de Bayonne states that it is re quested to announce that the manifesto which it had pub lished as purporting to emanate from Marshal Prim, is absolutely apocryphal, and can only have boon issued by some enemy of the Spanish revolution. Advice's from Madrid state that Marshal Ser rano, Duke de la Tone, is eonflned to his bed by illness.
