Mr. Joni( D. Bisnor and sixty of his fellow-townsmen ap proach the right hon. gentleman in the language of remonstrance on the flimsy pretext that he sits as their representative in Parliament. As Liberal electors, they presume to " protest " against the course he thought proper to take on the introduc tion of the Ministerial Franchise Bill into the House of Commons. They allege that he was sent to represent the borough as a Liberal member, whereas he is now found violating his allegiance tt; the Liberal cause on a vital point, and eliciting cheers from the Tory benches by his animadver sions on a great political principle. The sixty-one accordingly think it their duty to protest against this course, lest their silence should be held to countenance his reaction. _ . Mr. Lows's reply to this extraordinary letter is marked by great dignity and moderation. He does not ask them what on earth they can have to do with his votes, or how they can possibly know for what purpose he was sent to Parliament. He ac cepts the fiction which underlies their address, speaks as though he were indeed their representa tive and they were really his constituents, and then takes the ground that he is a moderate and consci entious man placed in a situation in which he was compelled to choose between the Ministerial Re form Bill and the permanent interests of the coun try. He shows by irrefragable proofs that before the last general election he had proclaimed his dis like to organic change, and especially to any re duction in the pecuniary amount of the borough franchise ; and that, therefore, he is not open to the charge of inconsistency. How any one, with Mr. Lows's speech made in the House of Commons last May before him, can pretend that the right hon. gentleman has changed his mind since then we are utterly at a loss to understand ! But errors of this kind occurring in the state ments or arguments of the sixty-one are trivial in comparison with the fundamental misconception on which their communication is based. And it shows how much real good nature is consistent with the seeming asperity of Mr. Lows's parlia- mentary speeches to find him forbearing under strong provocation to point out the error of his correspondents, and show them the real relation ex isting between him and them. How came the sixty one to imagine that because Mr. Lows sits for Caine he represents the people who live there, or is under any obligation to consider their political opinions I " You were sent to Parliament "—to do this and that—surely language such as this, in the mouth of the tradesmen of Caine, is the height of arro gance and impertinence, and a grave infringement of the prerogatives of Mr. Lows's real constituency. There is only one supposition on which such lan guage would be tolerable, and that one is inadmis sible. If this remarkable letter had been submitted to the Marquis of LANSDOWNIC, and received his sanction before being transmitted to its address, it would have had, at least, some reality and mean ing ; but that noble lord is incapable of advancing to his ends by indirect means, and we can imagine the kindly and companionate smile which suc ceeded his first surprise as he read the singular composition. There are two theories on which we may account for Mr. Lows's sitting in the House of Commons as member for Caine. One is, that he bass natural and original right to a place in Parliament byvirtne of his transcendent fitness for the work of legisla tion, a fitness that cannot be regarded as subject to the chances of electoral opinion, but which im presses the country with the force of an irresistible fact, making his presence in the House of Commons a matter of certainty, and the title by which he sits MADRID, APRIL 5.

We are told that after communications between M.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY. ) MI Amur AGITATION.—Na. WOW AND NIL LOWL The Tines represents Mr. Bright as having come to rest at Roadsle, after osrlU•ting violently between his own most passionate instincts and the politic mode ration forced on him by his friends, in his usual mean of illiberality and injustice. The govern aunt memory was received with surprise and contempt, not only by the conservative party, but by many of the most enlightened and thoughtful liberals in the Home of Commons, it still is opposed by the most able and inde pendent part of the liberal press, and the opinion of edu cated society is equally hostile. No me believes that if the membess of the house were to vote according to their own unbiarned opinidn this bill would have the smallest chance of peeling; sad yet, from beginning to end, Mr. Bright has not a word of argument, not a syllable torersove these widely entertained objections. The wickedness of tories, the nsesonees of their pseudo-liberal allies, the dangerous designs whisk the conspirators may be supposed to entertain against English Musty and the palm of Europe, are the themes on which the leader of the people expatiates. What but harm can come from the use of Each longues* ? No one who reads the Rochdale speech will have a worse opinion of his tory neighbours, but if he be a man of refined feeling he will be apt to conceive an undue prejudice against a cause which is advocated with such violence and injustice. If we have a conservative administration, it will be mainly owing, the Post contends, to Mr. Bright. He has more than once before helped them woes to the minis terial benches, and bowed to them when they were seated. Of the franchise bill, however, the Post speaks in altered tones, evidently regarding its success as probable, and ooncentrating its efforts rather upon securing a moderate redistribution bill than upon defeating the franchise measure. The Herald speaks of Mr. Bright's speech se illustrating the &Meg style of oration, es consisting of hoarse reviling. and the nastiest epithets that his extensive vocabulary of abuse could supply. It is sheer rubbish to talk of the tories being opposed to say further extension of political freedom. They will be glad to extend the franchise slowly and safely. The tort' party has always been the party al peace. It has been the whigs who, for their own sinister purposes, by their scanda lous blunders, have involved the country in war. The Harald proceeds to assert that the franchise bill does not represent the feelings of one-third of the government : that the confidential whigs go about whispering " only vote to keep us in oar places, and we promise yon the bill shall never pass !" Is it honest towards the people to ex , cite and mislead them in this manner, when there is moral certainty that should it pass the second reading the bill . . . will never become law this searing'! Notwithstanding the machinery of agitation set in motion—that machinery which once in operation is so difficult to arrest ; in spite of the sophistry of the educated and the violence of the igno rant agitators, the Herald still believes and hopes that the good sense of the country will prevail. The earrespondenee between Mr. Lowe and hie condi- Monts is quoted by the Telegraph, as an example of the force of sincere opinion, which is all the more welcome be cause unexpected ; one which, by its simple occurrence, has already undone almost all the little mischief that Mr. Lowe'. ability could work, and has left him, like his colleague in the sour duumvirate of this " dirty conspiracy," a member without constituents. Mr. Lowe's reply is painful and feeble in the extreme. It has just the kind of timid skill that comes of intellect detected at tricks, ashamed of itself, and hemmed up in a corner, from which there is but one outlet, and that the distasteful one of absolute honesty. He is now like the desperate miner of the colony which he personally knows, who leaped across a chasm to get what seemed a nugget of gold, and, finding it merely worthless mica, tried to get beck again, but could not. History, viewing the skeleton of his reputation and noble powers, will, we earnestly hope, forget altogether how they perished. The Star observes that its columns continue to flow over with the reports of reform meetings, and half of those that come to it, it is compelled to exclude. Opposition to the bill seems to have been fairly swept away. Mr. Lowe would have done better to have frankly followed Sir W. Hutt's example, and Mr. Doulton will find that he cannot serve Lambeth and Lowe together.

Some means of meeting this large annual deficit must be discovered if the new empire is to take firm root in Morison moil. _ _ . The Tetegrapit observes that if the struggle between the Federal and Confederate sections of the North American Continent had terminated—es Napoleon 111. was not alone in thinking that it would terminate—in the established in dependence of the Southern states, the expedition to Mexico would have been the crowning glory of his morass ful and enterprising reign. How far the policy which in duced him to commit himself to a distant and hazard ous enterprise, and to abstain from following it up by active participation in the American war, was in conformity with the sound and far-seeing moat, of such a statesman, it is of little moment at present to inquire. But it could not be otherwise than apparent to I ►ll that the collapse of the Southern Confederacy left the' French Emperor, so far as his Mexican expedition is con earned, in a perplexed and embarrassing position. In the Ream da deux Monde M. de Karatry, in a narrative Si. tending ever morethantwoyeers,makesapparent to all that the antipathy of the Mexicans to the French invaders has been censtantly on the increase, and the death of Maximilisn's Finance Minister seems to have plunged the finances into inextricable confusion. So far as the Telegraph can judge, the young and amiable Austrian archduke will be wise if ha accepts the lesson which his last three years in Mexico have taught, and withdraws once more to his donning home at Miramar, and to renewed intercourse TIM the blue waters of the Adriatic. Is TOPICS. The Times describes' very fully the recent fanatical mu. same of protestents at Barletta, and expresses surprise that tke responsible organs of Roman catholic opinion in Italy have uttered no sentiment of indignation against outrages by which the cause of their religion is so grievously disgraced. Indeed, the mere fact of the toleration and of the presence of a protestant form of religion is seriously alleged by a Roman catholic journal in Italy sa constituting " extenuating circumstances" in cruses' of the most savage murder andineendiarism. It is even more melancholy to hear that the feeling from which these terrible outrages have arisen is by no means confined to Barletta, and that the religious journals have been for some time announcing that " certain southern populations, faithful catholics, and disgusted with the atheist government which rules them, were on the point of manifesting their sentiments in a striking manner." The Tim* learns with regret that the Italian government @howls a disposition to make as little as may be oi this disturbance, and to wish it rather forgotten than avenged. A more shortsighted policy could not be imagined. To coax these savage priests and ruffians may appear to save trouble for the present, but it will only Greats far greater difficulties in the future. It is fax better, at any cost, that the whole truth should be brought to light, and that the most aignal and public punishment should be inflicted on the offenders. The Herald applauds the Italian parliament for refusing to declare Mauini's election valid. Guy Fawkes might as well be suggested as a fit and proper person to represent en English constituency in the Howie of Commons. Few, indeed, except zealots like Mr. Stansfiald, would vindicate the policy of the dagger distinctly adopted and defended by the ex•triumvir of Rome. Neither Denton nor Robe.. pierre could have been more fanatic or more desperate than Massini—only they rode the whirlwind of their own creating, and did not gate at its victims from afar in • safe retreat, es is the fashion with illustrious patriots is our degenerate time. The Telegraph thinks there are two or three strong--it does not say conclusive—reasons for the existing arrangement as to the exclusion of certain members of the civil service from the exercise of the suffrage. Civil servants may have strength to resist the importunities of their superiors ; but, in times of great political excitement at least, such influence would be certainly exercised, and the subordinate with • wife and family to min. tain would rarely be disposed to brave the dis pleasure of those on whom he depended for promotion, or even for the retention of his post. Agiiin, the executive has a direct inducement to multiply small go• ,ernment places when they confer electoral power ; and the pernicious effect of this temptation in producing an enormous bureaucracy is seen in France and the Unite States. Lastly, an army of official voters would greatly affect the elections, not only by their suffrages, but also by their influence. A customs °Soar may make himself extremely obnoxious, or the reverse, towards the mercan tile community ; a tax gatherer has it in his power to put the screw on the tax-payer when be is not quite prompt in his payments. the Court. WINDSOR CASTLE, APRIL 5. The Queen, accompanied by Princess Helena and Princess Louise, went to Aldershot Camp this morn ing, attended by Lady Waterpark, the Hon. Mary W eenie, Lieutenant-General Hon. C. Grey, and Major- General Hon. A. N. Hood and Lieutenant-Colonel Du Plat, Equerries in Waiting. Her Majesty travelled in a carriage and four, and was escorted by detachments of the Royal Horse Guards the Bth Hussars, and 17th Lancers, to the South Camp, where her Majesty was received by Lieutenant-General the Hon. Sir James Yorke Scarlett, K.C.8., and his staff. The Queen then drove to the Prince Consort's library, and afterwards to the gymnasium ; and from thence to the Pavilion, where her Majesty took luncheon. Shortly before three o'clock her Majesty proceeded to the North Camp, accompanied by the Duke of Cambridge and the Adjutant-General and the Quarter-muter-General with their staffs, and was there received by the troops with • royal salute. The 89th Regiment formed in front of the line, com manded by Colonel Boyle, and received from the Queen new colours, in lien of those which her Majesty gave to the regiment as Princess Victoria, at Plymouth, in the year 1833, her Majesty at the same time addressing the troops in a few words. The regiment then marched past her Majesty, and also the other troops in the camp. _ . . The Queen then left the camp, and returned to Windsor Castle, stopping on her way at Bagahot to pay Sir James Clark a visit. A Committee of the Lords of her Majesty's Mart Honourable Privy Council met yesterday at the Comm& chamber, Whitehall, on the subject of smallpox in sheep. ...cer , le AT ALDERSHOT. lee Neje* like Qum' visited Aide • 1) day efterikomilitery display o (Blaney Irk glace: • • cipal part of the p Ip of the Ifig !pa Cation of new oo • • leth Regiment. . Her Majesty, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses Princess Helena, Princess Louise, Prince Arthur, Field- Marshal the Duke of Cambridge, and attended by Lady Waterpark, the Hot. Ws. Lascelles, Gieeeral Grey, General Hood, end Colonel The Plat, left Windsor at 20 minutes past 11, escorted by a squadron of the Royal Home Guards. At Bagdert the escort was relieved by a par* of the Bth (King's) Royal Irish Human, and at Frimley by another of the 17th Lancers under the corn mend of Lieutenant and Adjutant Billing. Her Majesty was met at Farnborough by Lieutenant-General the Hon, Bir James Yorke Scarlett, K.C.8., and his staff, and by him conducted through the camp. The Queen's arrival was notified by a royal salute of 21 guns from the D battery Royal Horse Artillery, under the command of Major Stirling, and which were stationed on an eminence short distance from the lines. Her Majesty first visited the Prince Consort's Library, an institu tion, it may be mentioned, which was established by the lamented Prince Convert for the use of officers and civilians at Aldershot Camp. After a stay of ten or fifteen minutes in the building, the Queen drove over the head of the Smith (lamp, down Hospital hill, and so to the permanent barracks, where an interesting incident occurred. The regiments forming the 2nd brip.de, via., 63rd and 28th Regiments and 13th Light Infantry, were mustering preparatory to "falling in" to take part in divisional parade, and her Majesty being observed by the men of the regiment nearest to the road (the Bird Relit ment), the whole corps, the men of which were in heavy marching order, with rifles and knapsacks, but had not " fallen in," rushed up from all parts of the wade ground as if moved by an irresistible impulse to the side of the road, and gave the Queen cheer after cheer with deafening effect ; the men of the band " fell in" appa rently from a similar feeling, and in a moment the magni ficent strains of the " National Anthem" resounded (with striking and impressive effect through the air. Her Majesty repeatedly and most graciously acknowledged these demon strations of loyalty on the part of her soldiers. The Queen then drove through the "Covered-way" of the ' centre block, occupied by the 28th Regiment, where, in I the same unexpected manner, the soldiers of the corps evinced their feeling with such plaudits as in all likelihood had never before re-echoed from under the glass roof of the Wracks. The royal acknowledgments were again repeated in the same condescending manner. The Queen then proceeded to the Gymnaidum, where she was received by Major Hammenley, director of gymnastics. She next viewed the twelve instructors attached to the institution, and ranking as non-commissioned officers in the army, go through a series of gymnastic exercises, both trying and novel. Some of the exercises were of a character that appeared to highly please her Majesty, and who, with the Princesses, laughed heartily at some of the feats performed. After a stay of shout a quarter of an hour in this department, her Majesty proceeded towards the Royal Pavilion, and on her way passed the quarters of the 13th Light Infantry. The battalion was at the time on parade, and at once presented arms, the royal salute being completed by the band playing " God save the Queen." On arrival at the Royal Pavilion her Majesty was received by a guard of honour of 100 men with the proportionate number of officers and sergeants, Queen's oolour, and ben 1 of the lit battalion 13th Light Infantry, under the com mand of Major Cleeve. Here her Majesty partook of lun cheon, and remained for some time. Precisely at three o'clock, her Majesty and the other members of the royal party, preceded by Captain Wolfe, D.A.Q.M.G., an escort of the 17th Lancers, Colonel Herbert, A.O.IiLG., Generals Grey and Hood, &a, arrived upon the ground, and was received by the customary salute, General Scarlett, with his staff, being at the head of the troops. The royal carriage taking its position at the saluting point, the ceremony of the day commenced, the 89th Regiment advancing to the front, and forming three sides of a square. The troops on the ground num bered about 7,000. The military police, under Mr. Provost-Marshal Trout, had their powers of persuasion taxed to the very utmost in endeavouring to keep the great councourse of spectators within the boundary lines, force being almost necessary, and in consequence of the crowding one or two slight accidents did occur. A noticeable fact was that the whole of the troops were attired in their new clothing. The 89th - was remarked as being a very fine corps, both in ap pearance and bearing, and their high Mat?. of efficiency is attributed to the unvarying exertions on the part of every officer, from the colonel downwards. The officers of the regiment give a grand ball this (Friday) evening at the club-house, and to-morrow the men of the regiment will keep high holiday in honour of the occasion. iced We are requested to state that a separate depart ment has been formed for the transaction of busi ness relating to the cattle plague, under the super intendence of Colonel Harness, R.E.

A writer in the Tines says :—" Hwe venture to say that the ' Christian Year' is too exclusively the manual of well-educated churehpeople, we must take a test. Let that test be the cleverest and best girl in a N►tional School, the teacher—perhaps we might say the schoolmistress. Can she use these medita tions intelligently, easily, and usefully, even with &very favouring eiretundanee ? We fear not. Out of more than a hundred poems only twenty are not absolutely obscure, though even in this ease we should expect such a person as we have supposed to read them with some fixed and inveterate misunderstandings of the text.

LOUIS PHILIPPZ AND Val 01 Paying t full tribute to one who on • throne was an example to her people and in domestic life an example to her family, the Daily New hopes to escape harsh interpre titians if it ventures to suggest a doubt of the wisdom of those who mistake a sincere sympathy with fallen fortunes for • condonation of the errors of policy that led to the destruction of constitutional monarchy in France. In jus tice to a great nation and to principles that survive dynas ties, the truth of history Inuit not be silenced even in the presence of grief the moat august, even before a royal grave made holy by the tears and benedictions of the poor. Y. Cow* who was in the cemetery at Weybridge the other day, declared in the introduction to his political speeches pnbaehed in 1881 that the fell of the monarchy el July was due to its unshaken resolve not to change its system at any price, so suppressing true representative go- Tenement ; and he quoted the words of Louis Philippe himself at Claremont in 1849 when he told IL IL Lemke that though IL Guisot had pro ceed reform, he (the Sing) formally disapproved of it, sad intended as soon sa the opposition entered into power, to take himself off. M. Cousin adds that the Bing did but nay at Claremont what he had always said •t the Tuileries, and in 1847 the Prince de IGENCE. t r 7 AVSTRIA AND - PRUSSIA. tirtiraillnaf of inday says :—" We do •• as yels if Prussis las replied to the note e Austrian Antheinador, but we are now in a • . anticipate the character of that reply. The Provincial Correopondence, an official journal, and to some extent issuing from the bureaux of Count Von Bismarck—declares plainly that the pacific declaration made by Count Karolyi in the name of Austria is not sufficient, and that the Prussian government will continue their armaments. That even should Austria, un mindful of her dignity, yield on the ques tion of the duchies to the injunctions of Herr von Bismarck, it would not be sufficient. What Prussia wants and urgently desires is federal reform, not in a democratic sense, but a reform which would give Prussia an absolute authority over the minor States, and assure her indisputable supremacy in the confederation. To emphasise the sense in which Prussia wishes to reform the federal pact it is ,sufficient to re mark that the Provincial Correspondence proclaims the urgency of this measure by basing it on the unsatisfactory replies which the minor states have made to the circular note of the Prussian minister.' Prussia, therefore, not only challenges Austria, but the entire confederation. The ques tion of the Elbe Duchies is but a pretext. That is not enough for the ambition of Frederic William. He must have more—the mediatisation of the whole of North Germany. Such is the new programme haughtily put forward by Prussia. The minor states, under the strong impression that they are menaced by Prus sia, are arming. Wurtemburg, following the example of Bavaria, is placing herself on a war footing. Evidently the Prussian government would not be so defiant if they did not feel they were supported. The Italian alliance is not sufficient to account for this Berlin bluster. Herr von Bis marck must rely on something stronger than that. Let us hope that he reckons without his host." The Berlin correspondent of the same journal, writing under date of April 3, says : There ia no longer any doubt about it—the trumpet, and the trumpet of war is sounding. Up to the present time Prussia, proceeding with the greatest mystery, confided her armaments only to men whom she could trust, and who could put the best face on the warlike preparations which she has been making for three months. She has now un masked herself and announces to her valiant army, for whom the Duppel laurels are to reflourish, that she ample nor. The circular of Herr Von Bismarck, elegantly printed, has been distributed in all the barracks of the monarchy, in ceder that the defenders of the country may be able to judr for themselves who is in the wrong. In the Pederalfgarrieons, outs'de the Prussian territory, the officers received a copy of the circular, and three days ago all of them were afticiotudy told to impress continuously on the people with whom they came into contact the cala mities which Austria was heaping on Germany, and the danger which the secondary States would run if they sepa rated from the policy of Prussia. The Nation, in a correspondence from Venice, says that Austria is making great warlike prepara tions in Venetia, such indeed as are usually made on the eve of important military movements. The Provincia of Turin says that at the presont moment 65,000 men are concentrated on the line between Bologna and Ferrara, and that 35,000 more will be assembled at Piacenza. War material is being con tinually sent from Alexandria to Bologna. THE TURKISH ARMY. The Levant Herald of the 28th ult. says :—" The Porte has decided on raising the Ist corps d'armee (the Imperial Guard) to its full strength of 25,020 men. The live Ahma Pacha, commanding the cavalry of the corps, has according received orders to superintend and hasten the necessary conscrip tion. The headquarters of the force are in the capital, and its recruiting districts are Smyrna, Mag nesia, Kutayah, Isparta, and Kara-hissar. The 2nd and 3rd corps, the headquarters of which are respectively at Schumla and Bitolia, receive their recruits from Konia, Yungst, Castamouni, Adria nople, Uscup, Schumla, Babadagh, Tirnovs, Kupruli, Crete, Scales, Beret, Ochri, Arta, Pre vesa, Nisch, and Silistria. The total strength of the three corps is 75,000, which in case of need, can be speedily raised to 202,000 by the addition of the redifs of the Ist, 2n i, and 3rd categories. These corps together form the army of Rownelis ; that of Anatolia consists of the 4th, sth, and 6th corps, which can be similarly swelled by drafting in the reserves. This is not at present to be done, but the cavalry regiments of all six corps are to be placed an their full service footing." (ixormes HUNGARY. Imam Aran. 6.
