LONDON, THURSDAY, OCT. 15. MR. GLADSTONE AT LIVERPOOL. Is the speech which Mr. GLADSTONE made last night at Liverpool, as in that which he delivered earlier in the week at Warrington, he has wisely subordinated the arts of the orator to the claims of the party leader. He tells not merely a thrice told story, but a story which has been told ten times and even a hundred times before. He traverses a road over which countless feet have paved before his ; and he can point out nothing which has not been indicated over and over again. Out of his treasure he brings forth not things new and old, but old things exclusively. The history of the Reform Bill of 1867, of the crude attempts at le gislation which preceded it, and of its successive metamorphoses, cannot receive now light even from Mr. GLADSTONE'S ingenuity. die ten essential changes urged by him self and his friends, and with one excep tion carried ; the five vital principles insisted on by Mr. DISRAELI, and nearly all of them dis carded by the House of Commons ; the compound householder and the lodger, and other notabilities of the past twelvemonths, are all of them old friends whom it is impossible to present with a new face. Mr. Geentrrorm's copiousness can add nothing to a discussion which has been ex hausted; even his subtle' y can scarcely refine upon it ; it requires all his eloquence to make the old tale endurable. At the same time, Mr. GLAD irrosz is perfectly right in the course which he is adopting. The Government have claimed the confidence of tl e new constituencies as the authors of the Reform Act of 1867. They protest that they have shown trust in the people and they call upon the people to exhibit a re ciprocal confidence in them. Mr. GLADSTONE is bound to meet and answer this pretension. He challenges the Government's title to the confidence of the country ; he proves that they have been Reformers in spite of themselves ; that, after an honest attempt openly to resist the reduction of the franchise, they tried to withhold in fact what they affected to concede in name ; and that only when they had been defeated in both these attempts did they make a virtue of necessity and give that which would otherwise have been taken in spite of them. He proves that the Reform Bill as it now stands is in all that makes it valuable the work of the opposition, and that only in what is objection able, in the rate-paying provisions and in the minority clause, which he describes as a common nuisance, is it duo to the Govern ment, or their allies on either side of the House. It was necessary that all these things ahould be put on record, and brought again clearly and pro minently before the public mind and conscience. It is part of the came against the good faith and capacity of the Ministry. It is one of the issues on which the election will turn, and which will decide the national vote of want of confidence which will itself precede, per - 8 by but a few weeks, the Rarlia hak. -8/ declaration that will put an• inglorious waiter, disreputable life of the Conservative end to the Still, the old story is an old story. Government. -ems. Mr. GLADSTONE cannot Pacts are inonoto.. 'ho mere sake of gratifying invent new ones for t. :9 critics, or giving them an audience, or pleasing h. ' lilt. In this respeot, also something new to talk au. t an oratorical and in this only, lie labours a. •r. DISRAELI, disadvantage as compared with X_ ,ma y es wuoso facts came at his cull as r.. e m u , epigrams and metaphors ; with the new . .. v too, there is generally some astounding theog, which furnishes a day's wonder and laughter, sad TH then gives way to a theory of an e: its character, supported by a perfectly& P$ of facts, at which people laugh and wo agisin. As of old every road led to Rome, 110 ktsent every topic of political discussiotioense to by some highway or byway to Irelaild. In the feel ing of the Irish in America, as described in Mr. Maori itt's book; in the brutal and cowardly murder of Mr. D'AIVY M ITU ; in the suspension, time after time, of the Habeas Corpus Act in Ireland, Mr. °LAWTON'S finds grounds, we will not say of boar, but of pru dence, reinforcing the nobler impulses whioh bid us to do justice to the sister island. The argu ments are old, but they are not older than the fade on which they rest. They have been iterstal and re-iterated, but they must be 'vested until they are taken to heart and brought into practice. The deliberate oratorical weakness of Mr. GL&D -r=7l:s electioneering speeches is their moral and political strength. THE BREAKING NET." Tnz Dean of Corm, who is Bishop-designate of Peterborough, has published under this title the sermon which he delivered a few weeks ago at the meeting of the Church Congress in Dublin. It was preached of course from the text of which the phrase forms a part ; and is applied in part to the Irish Church. Many of our older divines, like some of our modern preachers, from LATIMER to SIDNEY SMMI and Mr. Sruxozort, have not thought occasional flashes of humour to be out of place in the pulpit. We suspect that Dean MAOSE is of this way of thinking, and that there is a subtle and suppressed irony in his selection of a text. The net, on the occasion to which the Doan's text refers, broke, as the Dean has sine° been reminded, because it enclosed a great multitude of fishes. If the not of the Irish Church breaks it will cer tainly not be for this reason, but because of the rottenness of the meshes. The fish will not come in. They are caught by other note managed by other fishermen. Dean Msosx ought to have selected his text from an earlier verse in the same chapter. " Master, we have toiled all night and " have taken nothing." That is the true condition of the Irish Church. If it were other wise, the take of fishes would have been scarcely less miraculous than its prototype. The parallel might be carried further. The fishermen wash ing their nets, cast them down for another draught, and found them enclosing a great mul titude of fishes. Lot the Protestant Church. in Ireland clear itself from the impurity and in justice of its connexion with the State, and its Bishops and Deans and clergymen may be, what they have never yet been, true fishers of mon. Dean MAGEE thinks that a State which dues not award special honours to some sect is godless, creedless, prayerless. He takes the shadow for the substance, the form for the reality, just as a man might who should confound the monarchy with its symbols. Another Dean, of higher repute, takes a sounder and, we venture to say, a more Christian view. Tho Dean of Cut- TERBLItY more wisely declares that a State is Christian just in the degree in which it acts from Christian motives and in a Christian spirit, and not in virtue of outward professions and ceremo nies. SPANISH CIVILISATION. READERS of the late Hr. BUCKLE'S " History of " Civilisation" will not have forgotten his chapteron " the Spanish intellect from the fifth to the middle " of the nineteenth century." The national vice of the Spanish people is there described as consist ing in a blind spirit of reverence, taking the form of en unworthy and ignominious submission to the Crown and the Church. The idea of liberty, in the true sense of the word, seemed to him extinct. In Europe insurrections had been super- seded by revolutions which strike at once at the source whence injustice proceeds; but in Spain there had never been a revolution. " The people, " though often lawless, are never free. Among " them we find still preserved that peculiar taint " of barbarism which makes men prefer occasional " disobedience to systematic liberty." Content with what has already been bequeathed, they were excluded from that great European] move ment, which, first clearly perceptible in the six teenth century, has ever since been steadily ad vancing, influencing even Russia and Turkey, but leaving Spain unscathed. " There she " lies at the further extremity of the Continent, a " huge and torpid mass, the solo representative " now remaining of the feelings and knowledge "of the middle ages. And, what is the word " symptom of all, she is satisfied with her own " condition." Historians are rarely seers, and Mr. BUCKLE was not the less qualified to describe what had existed, because he did not see what was to conic. We will hope that the last movement in Spain will prove, not the mere insurrection which, as Mt. BUCKLE said, is too often the mad and passionate effort of ignorant persons, who are impatient under some immediate injury, and newer stop to investigate its remote and general causes; but a revolution which, to the moral quality of indignation produced by the pre sence of evil, adds the intellectual qualities of foresight and combination. WHAT IS LAVA? A TELEGRAM in the morning papers states that " the eruption of Mount Vesuvius is increasing in " intensity ; the flow of lava is more copious, " and the dynamic action of the cone more " vigorous." But what is lava ? Coming no one knows whence, it might be suspected to be formed of, or at least to contain, unusual substances; but such apparently is not the case. Here is an analysis, by M. SILVESTRI, of lava recently thrown out of Vesuvius :—Silica, 39; limo, 18 ; alumina, 14 ; magnesia, 3 ; pro toxide of iron, 13 ; potash, 1 ; soda, 10 ; water, 2 ; which means that the specimen closely re sembled common wine-bottle glass. In short, lava, though varying considerably in colour and solidity or friability, and occasionally containing little groups of crystalline minerals, would seem to be a sort of rough natural glass or earthenware mainly produced from sand, chalk, clay, and similar com mon earthy substances.

Tho elections of Tuesday last will also affect the political oonstitution of the Senate : and the predominance of the republicans is that body is abso lutely secure for some years to nine. The more antici pation of a democratic victory inaugurated almost a reign of terror in many of the Southern States. The people, as anal, discounted the Northern conomidsas before the people had even consented to rasa* them, and effectually warned them against conceding anythiag. Hence the present republican reaction. The eleatione, however, in dicate not the public append of all that the republitea party has done, but the public dhappreval of what &Sir opponents prop:mato do. The TileyrapA is also of opinion that there is no room for doubt as to the result of the proddeatisl election. It is, however, apparent that the begianing of the repels** triumph will prove only the belt of treuble and danger. That party has &beady o•ay injured the well founded reputation which it won as the wetweettal organiser of the war agate* the South, by its read* administration of the nationalisms's. To all appears**, the legacy of unbearable fanatics, inseaudag eapendlture, and diminishing revenue, inherited hoes last °engross, will now demand to the nut, swollen in magnitude, and rendered more *manageable by the pledgee which the newly-elected Commas= have freely taken. Accepting the returns which have nese to hand as sub stantially correct, there can ho little doubt, the Awl thinks, that any slender hopes of success the demean* entertained have been completely dissipated. It is not easy to ascertain the cause to which this result is to be attributed, but our contemporary argues that the arro gance. injustice, and selfishness of the republican party has tended to estrange from them all those who, during and for some tine subsequent to the war, had supported their cause. Dirt it would now seem that this reaction, which set in two years ago, is on the *as, and the change in feeling it mainly attributable to the pertinacity of Mr. Johnson, in opposing the measures of his parliament. Contrary to general ezpeotation, the sympathies of the freedmen in the South are with their former masters, and not with their liberatora If, how ever, the balance should thus be redressed in the South, the inhabitants of the border States may conceive there is les reason for throwing their influence into the scale against the North. PCBLIC IWONONT. The nets reverts to the question of public economy, and think' the truth is that our governments, whig as well as tory, have usually managed to keep themselves perversely in arrear of the prevailing fashion, end have thus spent money without gaining real efficiency. This policy has been conspicuously exem plified in the various reconstructions of the navy. These changing fashions succeeded each other within a very few years, and the efficiency of the navy would have con si..ted in providing the country with • competent force of those vessels which were thu Duet at the time. But this is exactly what was never done. We never left off the old fashion soon enough or took soon enough to the new one, and were generally provided with a large dock of the models which were just going out. The same policy of delay was pursued in reference to the equip ment of the army with the improved small arms. It is impossible for a government to be too earned in keeping abreast of the age. Here, for instance, is this Moncrieff battery, which has been under odicial notice these tea years. Had the effect of the invention been but ascer tained when it was first produced, it might have saved the country millions. After all, however, the public may re cognise its true friend in a man lake Mr. &Redstone, who looks with strong and even stubborn single-minded. nees to the protection of the public puns. TIII CITY zurrioN. Referring to the document issued by the conservative committee of the City of Landon, endorsing the three cornered vote, the Star says there is something so despic able in commoners thus struggling for the limitation of their own rights which have come down to them from time immemorial, that it will be much surprised if the citizens do not overwhelm this pusillanimous party by a vote of such magnitude as to form for ever a landmark in the City 'coals. PERSONAL LUGGAGE. The Daily News remark' upon the difficulty of deciding in what " personal luggage " really =mists. It has never yet been decided exactly what it is, but several decisions have been given as to what it is not. The oompaniss, however, are liberal in interpreting the phrase so far as the mere carrying of passengers' luggage is concerned, and as they can hardly be expected to extend that liberality to caws of loss or damage, passengers must themselves be more careful of such luggage as may come rather doubtfully under the description " personal." RAILWAY The Times discuses the question of railway administra tion and executive management, more particularly in re ference to the recent accidents on the North Western line. Our contemporary admits that it is very hard for railway authorities to satisfy proprietors who expect a good divi dend, and the public which expects good as well as liberal service; but the simple truth is that the public has the best of the case. The rates paid for carriage by railway, even when reasonably measured, are high enough to pro vide an abundant interest upon all capital properly ex pended. The public stand in the position of customers giving large orders and paying good prices. it It not their fault if the compsnies are in difficulties say more than it is the fault of a tenant when his landlord hecoines =bar- Teased. the daurt.

Confused notions are apt to be entertained in England as to the liberty of the press and of public meeting in France. Those two great ques tions, as you are aware, underwent a very elaborate discussion in the Legislative Chambers, and many were the rejected amendruenta moved fur the purpose of giving something like life and substance to what only appeared too clearly to the opposition to be a mere pretence and delusion. Still people got it into their beads that the Emperor could by no possibility promise a series of most important reforms without taking care that legislation should follow the spirit of these improvements. A very heavy disappoint ment, however, has been felt in this respect ; and only tco many journalists know to their cost to bow great an extent, and with what severity the law may still be brought to bear upon an out spoken public writer ; while as to public meetings no right whatever has been accorded, and freedom of discussion is a thing unknown, or known only to be utterly impracticable. The Sie , le has a very good article on this humiliating state of affairs, and, as on most occasions, ventures to speak plainly. That leading liberal journal, by the way, is becoming more bold and daring every day. The Gaefou urges the extreme desirableness of infusing fresh and younger blood into the Legisla tive Body. It is a subject which is matter of con versation in political circles, and from the manner in which it is talked about is another of the signs of the times which are too conspicuous and too important to escape notice. The common declara tion is, "The country is badly represented." People are beginning to fuel too deeply not to express themselves upon it that the members of the Legislative Corps are not the true and living expression of the national opinion—that they are for the most part the personification of a past time more or less remote. The Presse has reason to believe that the French Chambers will meet on the 10th of next month, when it is said some ministerial modifications will take place. The Bourse closed firm with a rise in most of the principal securities. Threes, 69fr. 75e. ; Ita lian, 52fr. 671 c. ; French Mobilier, 287 fr. .50e. ; Spanish Mobilier, 272 fr.

TI lIFAUT IN SPAIN. Tlodi • am. MONDAY, OCT. 12. t --eaight irt 1160 k place yesterday after liedVine hiluilirita by the presenoo of Generals jterrano and Prim and Admiral Topete, and was "Tiribiiny respects superior to that of Friday last. The preaenee of theme illustrious commanders eon sidensbly incrmsed the number of the spectators; the bulls were larger and fiercer than on the pre vious occasion, and ono of the banderilleros—the then who throw darts into the neck and shoulders of the tortured animal—was wounded, not seriously, but still he was wounded by the bull. The reception of the generals and admiral was tnoht cordial and enthusiastic. Prim and Serrano arrived together a short time after the sport had commenced, arid about half an hour afterwards they were joined by Topete. Upon their arrival they were received by the authorities of the boll-ring, and were escorted to the places of honour. Upon their appearance all the spectators rose from their seats and greeted them with loud shouts and waving of hats and There were a good many more in motion, for, as far as I hat* than can judge, it, is not much the fashion in Madrid for ladies to attend the bull-fights ; and at all events yesterday afternoon by far the larger portion of the spectators were of the sterner sex. There were rives for the generals and admiral separately, and by name, and vivas for them col lectively as the liberators of their country; rives for liberty, vivas for the national sovereignty, visas for the Junta, and vivas for every thing and anything connected, or that could be connected, with the revolution. The Spaniards scent to be fond of shouting, and once they commence know not, as I have learned at the expense of many hours' sleep, when to leave off. Topete, who is a good-looking, sailorlike man, took his plaoo between Serrano and Prim, and after the democratic meeting was over they wore joined by Orenze. The sailors of the Zaragoza, the frigate of which Topeto is captain, occupied oasts in the ring, and were warmly cheered as they took their places. The incidents which precede the death of each bull are so nearly similar that to deerrihe one contest—if contest it can be called when all the force is on one side—is to describe all. Certainly there is a little difference in the manner in which the bulls make their entry, and in their after proceenings. Some are fits ce and lively; tome are sluggish and inactive. '1 he femur keep their persecutors more upon their metal, and make them exhibit more of that grace ful agility and ability to escape which are the essentials of a successful bullfighter; the latter require more teasing and baiting to rouse themto the amount of firmness or rather irritation which they am expected by the Fpeet store to ex hibit. Let me take an average. or rather more than an average specimen, and describe his mode of action, and the manner in which he is slaughtered to make a Spanish holiday. The animal whom I select for this purpose of illustration was not large, but active—of a dun brown colour, deepening over the shoulders and loins almost to black, with a fine bead and large spresiling horns, a deep broad chest, and powerful, but light, hind quarters. As is always the case, there had before he left the Torii been driven into his shoulder a short sharp instrument, bearing a rosette of ribbons with long streamers, called a mesa. Smarting from the pain occasioned by the sharp instrument, and irritated by the bright pennons which it carried, ho galloped rapidly into the centre of the anna, and then suddenly coming to a stop looked wildly and angrily around him, tossed his head, and pawed the ground with his fore feet. In a moment the chubs, armed with their many coloured cloaks—some scarlet and yellow, some green and scarlet, but all of some bright tint, and most of them combining two colours—were around him, running and leaping hither and thither to allure him in their pursuit, and dexterously blind ing him with their coloured cloths (their only offensive or defensive weapon) at the moment that he seemed about to reach them with his horns. This, which is really only a preliminary proceed ing, is the prettiest part of the fight. There is in it no cruelty whatever, and some of the chubs exhibit considerable courage in ap proaching the bull, singular dexterity in throwing their cloaks, and wonderful judgment and agility in avoiding the assaults of the enraged beast. Sometimes you would fancy that his horns must reach them, but they manage to be just out of distance, and the threatening toss of the head is wasted upon empty air. The principal object of all these manoeuvres, apart from the mere irrita tion of the bull, is to draw him towards the pica dores, a certain number of whose horses ho is ex pilled to kill or mangle before he is himself destroyed, and who cannot always force their sorry nags to approach him. In the old times the business of the picadore was to wound the bull without allowing his horse to be injured, and to do this required both skill with the lance and good horsemanship. Now ho is expected to strike the bull with the point of his pole and to add to the streams of blood which are already Bowing from the place where the dart of the mona is inserted ; but his first duty is to get his horse killed, or at all events severely gored. With this object the picadores force their blinded or half blinded steeds right up to the bull, and hold them there while he plunges his horns into their bellies or shoulders. The bull of which I am writing seemed to be animated by a peculiar hostility to horsea. It required very little exertion on the part of the chubs to lure him towards them. As soon as Le saw a man on horseback he rushed towards him, buried his horns well in the body of the steed, and giving his stout well-set head a shake, so as to be sure they wore fast, made as though he would lift both steed and rider into tho air. Twice ho succeeded in throwing horse and man into the dust, and he had destroyed five of the former before the banderilleros were called upon to pre- pare for the last scene. Two of these horses ho did not kill immediately ; and they were ridden about the ring with part of their entrails hanging out. The others were more fatally wounded, and fell at once ; not dying immediately, but kicking and struggling in a manner which was most disagree able to witness. The task of the Bendorillorus re quires much skill for its performance and involves some danger. Holding in either hand a sharp pointed and barbed dart, ornamented with paper of various colours, they advance towards the bull, and by waving their hands invite him to attack them. In this instance the bull needed very little solicitation to advance. Lower ing his head and waving his tail in the air ho dashed wildly forward, and for a moment it appeared as though the too venturous banderillero must go down before him. Not so, however. Dexterously planting his darts one on each shoulder of the bull, the skilful assailant stepped lightly aside, and the now infuriated animal rushed madly on in search of a fresh enemy. Nor had be far to go. Soon another banderillero met hint, and two more darts were quickly planted in lals quivering flesh. while the fresh blood poured in red streams from the wounds whirib e Skied. Confined in the paper trimmings of th; darts were a number of small birds, and as the, were liberated by the striking of the was curious to see diem take flight unrqss the arena. At last the. poor bull has IsNli t/irtur..l enough. Hie sides are streaming with iawri Ilia tuts glare and run with an 14 4 f ( a f passion half of fear, his tongue hang, Etr bis mouth, and white foam gathers about his lip; As he stands in the arena, bis sides he as i n; anf his whole trains quivering, ho seems utuirly l e wildered and confused. Then it is, not until hi, strength has been so much reduced and his ~,x , , so completely disturbed, that the espador, or sword s man, undertakes to kill him. Aruisil with a sharp Toledo blade, and carrying is hand the mule* a small staff with a 4 0 . 4 , rod flag, which be uses as a lure, he colif e j,., ty approaches the bull, and after playing with i nza for a short time (with the assistareoi of v b .,. chutes) he seizes a favourable opportunity, and plunges, or rather drops, the sweet in between the shoulders. It is curious witness the astonishment of the bull whsn 1. receives this stroke, which seldom kills him ham diately.
