These elections will necessarily turn onthe questiouof Confederation. The desirableness of Confederation, and the condi tions on which it would be acceptable, if thought to be desirable, would be fully discussed, and the r e s ult would be the election of parliameate repre senting the settled oonvictions and - the matured purposes of the people. The decisions of parlia ment elected under these circutastanCes;. if favour able th Confederation, would go far towards ensur ing the success of a s ystem, which at'beet can only ' be regarded as an experiment, which, if tried at all, \ought only to be tried under the most favourable conditions ; while if they were adverse to Confede ration, that fact alone would demonstrate the wisdom of ably. tunately entertained spinet them. One of the Indians educated by the New Zeeland Company had geminated as • M.D. of the University of Toccata. Mr. Menmecrrow said that, from his knowledge of the Ceps Boers, be believed the result would be that if there was not some substantial interfemetee there would be an utter extermination or milkman& of the natives. The Boers *ere exeeedingly desirous that the missionaries should withdraw from their territory, so that their pro ceedings might not be checked, beams* they felt that the missionaries stood ep for the natives. The effect of their Frocordiplie, he believed., would be that the natives would be exterminated or enslaved; next, that the Boers would invite their infinite. in e t erna l* Gahm: to nettle down in their fine territorry, y as there was in the Cape Colony a great deal of -feeling against the English V. yernment and. nation ; and that Away they would ender your to secure from the Portuguese government the bay of Delagoa as a good shipping port. They would colonise their territory with people from Germany and Holland; and the result would be that the government they would establish 'would be a severe thorn in the side of the Cape , Colony. Mr. TO11111:56, M.P., hoped his lordship would give the deputation as much encouragement as ponsible, and that at all events he would take the facts submitted to him into hie sericite musideration. ' The Earl of CARNARVON said, of course the deputation could hardly expect him to enter very fully into the details of the different points brought before him. They were ' exceedingly interesting, and thoroughly deserved his fullest coheideintion. With regard to the case of the French missionaries, he was gaits free to lay that it &premed to biro, from an he had a very herd case ind. Hs , wee quite aware that • dames of expulsion had been paved upon these gentlemen ; bat be was not aware it was under the conditions described to him. From all hea ever heard, he believed these French missionaries bad been the centre of civilization and the promoters of agricultural teaching, land of the general welfare of the natives. He thought it would be a matter of the deepest regret if the mis sionaries should be swept away, and the influence they hitherto exercised disappear in that country. He believed that - his predecessor, Mr. Cardwell, did, on account of a representation of M. Guisot, communicate with the Governor of the Cape on this subject, but he was sorry to find that that oomenunication was productive of no offset. Having heard the details, be would bear them in mind ; and he was perfectly ready to express his opinion on the subject to the reposseatative of the government in the colony, and leaveit to him to bring that opinion to bear in the best way be could upon the Dutch government. As to the Hudson's Bay question, this would not be the oar (=ions to enterupon any discussion as to the negotiations referred to. It was sufficient to say that be thought these was • prospect of new negotiations being enta4 upon with the Canadian government, and he could not help hoping that they would offer the possibility of • settlement of the question being arrived at. It was im possible for him to emcee any distinct opinion upon that new ; but he did think that the question as to the dis9nalification of the Indiana, and the other difficulties which Mr. Isbistcr had pointed out, were deserving of consideration, ought to be kept steadily in view, and frankly discussed with the Canadian government, when the opportunity for doing so arose. Ile was afraid, from despatches be saw the other day, that in some parts of that continent the sale of ardent spirits to the Indians was a very great evil. In many instances, he was quite aware ' that the liudson's;llay Company had exercised its Wile ' enm in restraining the unrestricted sale of ardent spirits, and engaged their officers and enploq ts to put • check upon it. lie had seen papers recently from Vancouver's Island which showed that there was a most unlimited sale of spirits there ; that the spirits were manufactured on the spot of the most deleterious materials—of pure alcohol compounded with sulphuric acid ; and that the result wee, that the unhappy people were absolutely debauched by them, and that their use was attended with the very worst effeeta, lie did not know there was any other point on which he need touch ; but he assured the deputation he would would give the facts submitted to him a moot careful consideration. The deputation, having thanked Lord Carnarron for the °courtesy with which he had received and listened to withdrew. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. This house was opened by lix.

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL AT BRISTOL. - - The anniversary of the birthday of Edward Col ston was celebrated on Tuesday in Bristol with the usual demonstrations. During the day the bells of several of the churches were rung, and in the evening the supporters of the several societies dined together. The Anchorites (liberal), underthe presidency of Wm. Henry Wills, dined at the new St. James's-hall, Greyhound Hotel, Brisulmesid, and the two members for the city, the Hon. F. H. F. Berkeley and Sir Morton Pete, were present. The friends of the Dolphin Society (conservative) dined at the V i ctoria rooms, under the presidency of Major Bush. At the Dolphin Society's dinner the toast of " Her Majesty's Ministem " was replied to by Sir dons Rovr, who, on rising, was received with loud applause. After sonic preliminary remarks, he said the toast told him that they not only permitted but encou raged the introduction of political topics—(hear, hear) — especially those having reference to those great conserva tive and liberal principles with which they were all iden tified. (Hear, hear.) Now, he did not think he should be wrong in pronouncing the political era in which they lived one of the most important long known is this laud. He was aware it was the tendency of human nature i always to magnify the importance of the present moment —to forget the difficulties of the past, while their poli tical vision was not strong enough to see into the future ; and therefore they were often too disposed to think there was something special and peculiar in the p rese nt moment, and that they had trials to which they hail not been subjected before. But, waking allowance for all this, he would venture to think--and could not too i much impress it on those present—thatthey were living in aa era of the greatest importance and danger to their consti tution. (Hear, hear.) And he would tell them why he thought so. (Hear.) Tho wisdom, firmness, and mode ration of their ancestors had given them a constitu tion consisting of a mixed monarchy, under which they had obteined an intellectual, civil, and religious freedom, in a degree and manner which certainly never before existed in the known world. Coupled with this there had been from time immemorial, es the foundation of all civil society, a recognition of the right of property, the supre macy of law and order amidst all our freedom. (Hear.) Their freedom had never degenerated into licentiousness. That being so, lie would say that the present was an era of importance, because democracy was making a desperate effort to take the stronghold of our constitution, and, not withstanding the large measure and intluenceof democracy in their couneils,it would not be utilised unless it got the absolute ascendancy. (Hear, hear.) The learned gentle mui then drew a comparison between the theory of the , present political agitators and the practical results that would follow the adoption of their views, and contended that the trades unions were beginning to merge into one the questions of the rights of labour and the rights of pro perty. Political economists isnil theorists led those whom they addressed to believe that if they carried universal suffrage, and extended their number in the House of Com mons, all they needed would be obtained, and the rights of labour being triumphant, they could attack the rights of capital and property. (Hear, hear.) It was this partisanship between the theoretical politician and the trade unionist that he so much dreaded, and which he believed was making steady advances. But lie believed also that all classes of the community, and of all polities except extreme politicians, seeing the hanger in which they were placed, were endeavouring to oppose the movement. (Hear, hear.) Should this movement succeed, he supposed they would begin by abolishing the law of primogeniture. The next step would be to stop settling property on the next generation (all that could be done at present); then they would be deprived of the power of disposing of property after death, and then th s ey would limit the extent of property each individualshould be allowed to enjoy. Under these circumstances it behoved all classes to consider what course should he taken to avert the evil. It was impossible for him to enter into details, but it was their duty to maintain the con stitution with firmness and moderation. With those who advocated handing over the whole power of the House of Commons to a mere numerical majority they must hold no parley—they must keep them at arm's length. (Cheers.) There must be no surrender. (('heers.) If this course be pursued, he ventured to think that, as in the 17th century the wisdom, firmness, and moderation of their ancestors caved them from an absolute monarchy, and in the ]rich century from a narrow oligarchy, so in the 19th century their constitution would stand as it had hitherto stood, and would resist democracy as in earlier centuries. (Cheers.) Moderation was desirable, but mode ration was not inaction. (Cheers.) FUNERAL or LORD JUSTICE K NIG T-BRUCE. Yerterday afternoon the mortal remains of the Right Hon. Sir James Lewis Knight-Bruce were interred in family vault, constructed about 13 ye.rs ago by order of the late Lady Knight. Bruce, in Clieriton•churcbyard, near Sandgete, Kent, in which her ladyship was buried this year. The funeral was strictly private, Mr. Lewis Knight- Bruce, the son, was chief mourner, and among the other mourners were the Right Hon. Henry Auatin Bruce, H.P., nephew of the deceased. The late Lord Justice owned a small property near Cheriton, and his son-in-law, Mr. Tyssen, is owner of the village. The Lords Justices were not present, as bad bee::rated.

BERLIN, Nov. 14. ! The Prussian government have determined that whether the ex-King of Hanover absolve the officers formerly belonging to the Hanoverian army from their oath of allegiance or not, these officers shall be permitted to enter the military service of Prussia if detizons of eo doing. It is, however, semi-officially declared that the Prussian govern ment will at all times respeet the eonseientions and religious scruples of the inhabitants of all the lowly aeqUirecliiitatea. We have received numerous aeconnts from oorrerpow dents in the provinces, describing their experiences of the phenomena ; and the Dublin and Scotch papers also con tain brief refereseesto thus. A correspondent, writing from Dover yesterday, say, : " We had • magnificentiltiplay of this-phenomena last night --orMilwowerreetkyethis sawing, The 13th hadbeennonsn ally wet and stormy, the wind blowing strong from the south-west , but on the wind shifting in the evening to the north and west, we bad a clear , bright, and met favourable atmosphere. About ten o'clock many single &amities were seen darting from the horizon to the east ward, then continued without much variation, as far as re gards number, until a little after midnight, when they increased in size, brilliancy, and velocity until the maxi mum was reached—about one. The sight then was exceedingly beautiful, hundreds of blazing meteors darting at the same moment from a point in the heavens, which bad now risen to about 25 degrees above the horizon near to the constellation Leo, which was the great centre from whence they started in all directions. The most beautiful were those which rose upward, passing the zenith, and falling out of sight the hills to the back of the town , leaving long tracks of white light, some of which remained for several seconds. The most singular and extraordinary part of the grand sight eras when several of the meteors ran parallel to each other, as it racing, and the colours varying from blue to purple. Towards two they became less fro quaint, and heavy clouds coming from the north obscured the sky ; they occasionally were seen through gaps in the clouds, and the sky again clearing about five o'clock, several very brilliant ones were seen. It lightened sharply the whole of the night from the northward." At Leicester there was a considerable fall of rain with lightning flashes, and the night was occasionally stormy, the wind blowing from the north. Shortly before mid night the sky cleared, and the display of meteors was seen to groat advantage. From one to two o'clock the firma ment was continuously streaked with these luminous ex plosions. The meteors proceeded from the north-east, and at times the emisaioas appeared as from a fountain never failing in its supply of stars. When thrown up into the firmament they dropped to the north and to the south, others flying across the sky, leaving a bright blue train behind, until lost in the western horizon. As the morn ing advanced rain again fell, preventing further observa tions. A Nottingham correspondent writes that a shower of meteors was observed in that locality in varying degrees of brilliancy from midnight until sunrise on Wednesday morning. On the previous morning only a few meteors were seen, at long intervals, careering through the sky.
