TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) PRUSSIA. BERLIN, SEPT. 26. A royal patent will shortly be issued assuming possession of Hanover, Electoral Hesse, Nassau, and Frankfort, and the King will therein salute the peoples of those States as new Prussian citizens. The semi-official Provincial Correspondence of to-day states that there is no prospect of the con clusion of peace with Saxony until that country has given sure guarantees against the recurrence of those dangers which, at the outbreak of the recent war, menaced both Prussia and Northern Germany. The Upper House of the Prussian Diet has unanimously adopted the government proposal for the prorogation of the Diet until the 12th of November. The house has likewise unanimously voted the bills referring to the establishment of banks of advance, those relative to all commercial and customs treaties, and the loan bill as passed by the Chamber of Deputies. In the Chamber of Deputies to-day, the Minis ter of the Interior proposed that the house be pro rogued to-morrow until the 12th of November, to enable the government to prepare further bills to be submitted to the chamber. The minister ex pressed the satisfaction of the government at the settlement of the bills which had been submitted to the house during the session, and also the desire of the government that the next session should be brief, in order to make way for the convocation of the North German Parliament (Reichstag). The house adopted the proposal for prorogation without discussion. THE CANDIAN INSURRECTION. ALEXANDRIA, Sen. 26. Official accounts published here state that the news of the defeat of the Egyptian troops by the Candiotes is inaccurate. The Egyptians, not ex pecting the commencement of hostilities, were tem porarily separated from the Turkish troops. Im mediately, however, on the arrival in the island of Ismael Pacha—the successor of Chain Pacha—he succeeded in reuniting the Egyptian troops with a loss of only 150 men. _ ___ PARIS, SEPT. 26, EVENING. The Moilitcur du Suir, in its bulletin, says :—" In Caudle, unfortunately, blood has been shed, but the insurrection has not progressed.

(now on snail. ooineromm.) NEW YORE, Sur. 14. The Maine election—the second of the series— has given an enormous majority for Congress and the radicals, namely, 30,000 ; that is, more than 5,000 more than it has ever given before, even in the most exciting times. Vermont and Maine have now spoken. Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, lowa, and Minnesota come next. They all hold their elections on the 9th of October—about four weeks hence, and I am satisfied that there is not one of them in which the same result may not be looked for. As I have already told you, I think there is only one Northern State in which the result is in the least doubtful—and that is, New Jersey. If the Connecticut election were to take place now, there would be no question, too, as to how it would end ; but it does not come off till spring ; and so many things may occur before that time, that there is no use in speculating about it. In fact, if the elections were all to occur now, this week, the state of the public mind is such that the administration would be beaten through the entire North by a majority greater than any ever seen in the politi_ cal history of the country, greater even than that which was given for Mr. Lincoln in 1864. The indignation created by the speeches of the President and Mr. Seward grows deeper and more ' intense every day, and, strange as it may seem, they appear to travel on, and spout on in blissful unconsciousness of the impression they are creating, and growing worse and worse as they go. The j display at St. Louis, the westernmost point on their journey, was perhaps the most vulgar, indecent, , and violent of all. The President there treated somewhat at length, though in an exceedingly muddled manner, of the New Orleans riot, but without uttering one word of reprobation of it, charging it again and again on the radical j party in Congress, and in fact almost justifying Mayor Monroe, and his " thugs," as General Sheridan called his police. What most afflicts the public, however, is not, after all, that Mr. Johnson should so disgrace himself. They console them selves with the reflection that he is, after all, a I Tennessean, of limited education, no knowledge of the world, and bred in slavery, and they did not I elect him to the presidency. The crowning humi liation is that Mr. Seward, who was for so many years loved and honoured at the North, and who, if ho was famed for anything, was famed for his moderation, his good taste, his good sense, his philosophic dislike of the ruder weapons of party strife, and for the elevation of tone and sentiment with which he discussed all the great questions of the day, should be present at all these mortifying scenes, and not only be present, but countenance and encourage them, and should himself even play all but the most ignoble part in them. I hear nothing from men of all partiesbut expresaiona of sorrow and astonishment over this most inglorious fall. Sonic ascribe it to Mr. Seward's desire to be avenged on the party, which failed in 1864 to give him the re ward which he felt he had earned by his long years of service, and which put in the place to which lie felt himself entitled an unknown and much younger man. But then, were he animated by any such feeling, it would certainly have been stronger in the first days of his disappointment than now or at any other time since. And yet ho went to work for the republican party immediately after Mr. Lincoln's nomination, with a zeal and energy and ability such as he has never dis played either since or before, and delivered a series of speeches in support of Mr. Lincoln's elec tion, which were considered amongst his very best efforts. Others again ascribe his defection to his expectation of securing the nomination of the united Southern and Northern democracy in 1868, but this is as improbable a hypothesis as the former one. He is now very old, and though not feeble, can hardly expect to be able to figure much longer in public life, much less to bear the tremendous fatigues of a campaign which is still two years distant. Another theory—the more charitable, and, as I believe, the more correct one—is, that he is not the man fur a stormy crisis like this, that the derangement of the political machinery caused by the war has bewildered and confused him, which, added to the shock given to his nervous system by ' the attempt on his life, has made him anything but his former self, and given his speeches an in coherence, coarseness, and often a foolishness, j which are astounding to those who knew and ad_ mired him in his prime. IThere is, however, no chance now that Mr. Johnson will have his own way. The Radicals will sweep the whole country during the autumn. • Even in this State the defection of such prominent men as Thurlow Weed and Henry J. Raymond has produced scarcelyany impression on the Repub lican ranks, and all the present indications are that the next Congress will be far more radical than the present one ; and that if the settlement of the difficulty is to be left to it, the South will have no alternative but to submit, and ratify the constitu ! tional amendments. Whether the decision will be left to Congress is, however, still a doubtful point. I have warned you in several letters that the language of Mr. Johnson and his adherents seemed every day to indicate more clearly that the idea of resorting to force to carry out " his policy" was not unfamiliar to them. They have been all along greatly puzzled how to meet the argument, that as the President's functions are strictly executive, his bueiness ia to put in force acts of Congress, and judgments of the su preme courts, and not to devise policies. But within a day or two they have fished up the follow ing act of Congress, passed in 1862, when the war was still supposed to be far from its close, and when nobody was dreaming of the circumstances _ _ in which we now find ourselves : Chap. XECVI.—An sot fixing the number of the Howe of Representatives from and after the 3rd of March, 1863. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa tives of the United States of America in Congress assem bled—That from and after the 3rd day of March, 1863, the number of members of the House of Representatives of the Congress of the United States shall he two bandied and fortrons ; and the eight additional members shall be assigned one in each to Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentusky, 11li nais, lowa, Minnesota, Vermont, and Rhode Island. Approved March 4, 1862. _ _ The Times, which may be considered the Presi dent's organ, announces in pretty plain terms that by this law will he be guided, and that he will re cognize no Congress which does not contain 241 members. THE WATER SUPPLY OP THE EAST OP LONDON. A publics meeting was held last evening in the Town-hall, Bethnal-green, the Bev. Su i tt us HAaassn , the Rector of the pariah, in the their, for the purpose of considering the subject of the impure mid deficient water ' supply to the east of London, and devising means to obtain a rue end sufficient supply to that and the surrounding districts. The chairman, in opening the proceedings, said the special object of the meeting was to encourage agita tion and inquiry on the subject for the consideration of which they had assembled. He believedit was now incontes tibly proved that the localities in which there was an impure supply of water were first visited by cholera and every Veal* of contagion. They were all aware that the cholera wbi broke out at the east end of the town recently, and with nab dreadful results, was traced by the Registrar , Dr. Franklin, and other scientific men, to the ion water supplied by the Bast London Waterworks, t that wattr came from the river Lea, which is not more than a large sewer. The public were told they Would boil water before using it, but seek an advice was as absurd as if they were told to rout the air before inhaling it. Dr. Burgess, one of the medical officers of health forßethnal proposolthe first resolution as follows: " That it having been proved by indisputable evidence that the water supplied to the east of London is both deficient in quantity and so impure in quality that it has been one of the chief causes, if not the only cause, of the recent out break of cholera in that part of the metropolis, this meet ing resolves that steps be immediately taken to obtain a pure and more constant supply of water." The speaker stated that during the hot weather of the past summer, and at the time of the expected approach of the cholera, the people of his neighbourhood were not supplied with water from noon on Saturday till about the same time on the following Monday, and that when the water company were applied to to supply water on Saturday evenings in order to give sufficient to the poor people until 'Monday, they refused to do so. —Dr. B a rns seconded the resolution, which was put and unanimously adopted.—Dr. Liddle, medical officer of health for Whitechapel, proposed :—" That an association be formed to be called the East London Water Supply Association, to carry out the foregoing resolution, and with this view to put themselves in communication with the Metropolitan Water Supply Association, to collect evident* as to the deficiency and bad quality of the water at preunt supplied, and to use every endeavour to induce vestries to take action in the matter, and,if necessary to refer the subject to the Secretary of State, according to the provisions of the Sanitary Act of 106G.' He said if housekeepers were not supplied with a sufficient quantity of water, the fault lay with them selves, inasmuch as there was a clause in the act of parliament by which the water companies were cow palled to supply su ffi cient water, if a requisition signed by four-fifths of the consumers were sent to them.—Mr. Wadding, of Whitechapel, who seconded the resolution, related an instance in which the pipes of a water closet at Wapping emptied themselves into the water tank of the adjoining house during the existence of the cholera.—Mr. Parker, the secretary of the Metropolitan Water Supply Association, entered into an explanation of the objects of the association, which he said was founded for the purpose of compelling water companies to aitord a constant instead of an intermittent supply of water, and a purer supply of that commodity by means of improved filtration.—Mr. Thos. Murray, of Stepney, in giving an account of the water supply to his locality, stated that he saw some of his neighbours without water during three days, L ard others during 36 hours, the houses which were thus deprived of water having nearly 30 inhabitant. each. The resolution was then carried unanimously, and the pro ceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. HUNTINGDONSHIRE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. The annual show and dinner of this society was held at St. Neots yesterday, and there was a very fair display, considering the absence of neat stock. Horses were iu good show, both as regards numbers and quality, and there were probably some unsurpassable roots. Poultry, one of the new, and not least interesting and valuable, features in these societies, was well repre sented. At the conclusion of the more practical part of the pro ceedings about lOU of the principal members of the society sat down to dinner at the Corn Exchange, under the presidency of the Hon. Colonel Duscom et, supported by Mr. FeHowes, M.Y. ; Lord Hobert Montagu, &c. , Lord K. MONTAUU, on rising, was received with loud cheers. In the course of Lis address he said—Agriculture is the only trade which is fashionable. As soon as a leer chant becomes rich—as soon as he attains a position in so ciety—he must needs become a farmer. (Hear, hear.) No one thinks of being a tanner or a tallowchandler for his amusement. But everyoue tries to get • farm, and then swears that he loves the smell of a dungheap more than the scent of his wife's flowers. (Laughter.) Perhaps he obtains three or four farms and throws them into one. This naturally increases the competition for farms, and raises their price. But the price of your produce is not proportionately raised. It is true that the wages of artisans arc much increased, and that many of theta eat beef twice a day, which they did not do before. This, however, does not enhance the farmers' prices so much as it draws imports from abroad. Then, again, you are sub ject to losses by weather. If it be dry, alas for your turnips. If it be wet, your corn is damaged. There are also losses of cattle by disease. Besides, sheep and oxen cannot be laid by until there is a demand for theM in the market. An ox soon eats up his price without adding to his value. He must therefore be at once forced upon the market. These are all great draw backs. What, then, is to be done ? That which the ma nufacturer has to do in his race with other manufacturers— lose uo chance of improving production by new machinery, and increasing the fertility of your land by new manures. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the losses of cattle, I may be pardoned for reminding you that I foretold you snore than a year ago what would happen, and sketched out a course which I recommended you to ursue. The main points were to slaughter the diseased animals, and to isolate the place of infection. Since that time the royal commission has abundantly proved that the great lines of traffic are the lines of the disease. Since that time the act has carried out what I then advised. Soon after the act came into operation the disease decreased, and where the act was not carried out the disease re-appeared. When it invaded Ireland the same course was adopted, and that country has been freed front the curse. If that course had at once been carried out here—if the govern. meet had not been behind hand—a quarter of a million of cattle might have been saved. (Hear, hear.) The Cattle I'lague Bill contained a clause indemnifying the Privy Council for ordering the slaughter of cattle. I resisted that clause until Mr. Gladstone promised to grant • compensation for the cattle thus slaughtered. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Walpole and Mr. Henley assisted me in extracting that promise. But things changed, and it was put out of the power of Mr. Gladstone to fulfil his promise. But an act was passed late in the session which has not mentioned a retrospective compensation. But Jove looks with indulgence on the broken vows of lovers, for they are ever fraoe. (A laugh.) There is another subject which I hope the government will not lose sight of—l mean the pollution of rivers. It is now generally known that the cholera is spread by means of impure water. I am sorry that my bill of 1564 was not accepted by the Louse. The commission which was then appointed has, however, reported strongly in favour of the watershed boards which I at that time recommended. I trust that the present government will act, and will not leave us a prey to the cholera, as the late government sacrificed your oxen to the cattle plague. (Loud cheers.) Several other toasts were afterwards given and re spouded to. SCREENS AND MYSTERIES.—The Rev. O. Ouse. ley, priest in charge of Northruore Church, where the re cent disturbances took place ' writes to the Guardian : " Holy mysteries are not to be exposed to the gaze of the people—certainly not to the gaze and insult of the unbe lievers and profane ; but till the ancient discipline be re vivod, and the screens be restored to their proper use in our chnrches, it is idle to talk of keeping the holy myste- ries (as they ought to be kept) from profane gaze. In every correctly arranged catholic church there should be at least three screens—one separating the sanctuary from the choir, another separating the choir from the nave, and a third, of a more substantial kind, separating the nave from the narthex or porch, and beyond which the unbe lieving mob should not be admitted. The law forbids church doors being closed during divine service, but I am not aware of any prohibition to glutting and looking screen doors." Mr. Edward Train, the landscape painter, died suddenly in Newcastle on Saturday morning. On Priday evening be retired to his bedroom, apparently well, but in the morning, feeling indisposed, be breakfasted in bed, and shortly after got up and went to the room where heusually painted. Being heard to fall by those below, the alarm was given, and he was !mud by his sister and others, who hastened upstairs, on the Boor quite dead, beside the easel on which he had played an unfinished picture.

It did not strike me that 1,2001. or a very large chugs for legitimate expenses. 1 told that the cost at Grimsby would be 1,0001. The constituency there is larger than I had frequently heard members of state that the expenses in other places wei came down to Totnes. After I had been hei sent my confidential clerk, Mr. Jack, to fetch 1,- 1,4001. I told him to take the instructions of Mr. Cla— ming as to what he was to do with the money. I believe he paid 1,2001. in London to the account of Mr. Webber. When I found Mr. Dent was determined to contest the election I asked Mr. Durrant to tell Mr. Dent I would put myself under any bond, if he would do the rune, tol the constituency on pure principles. Mr. Durrant called to see Mr. Dent, and was told that he was in the bands of his committee and could not interfere with them. I wrote the letter produced. (The letter, formerly referred to, was read. In it witness stated his desire to fight the borough on pure principles.) I received no answer to that letter, and was told by Mr. Mitchellthat Mr. Dent was annoyed at what be considered to be an imputation in my letter that he would sanction corrupt practices. I wrote again to Mr. Dent, disclaiming any such imputation. I thick I had not sent Mr. Jack for the money then. My chief advisers were Mr. Chaster, Mr. Windeatt, Mr. Thomas Blichelmore, Mr. Jeffery Michel more, Mr. Cumming, Mr. C. F. Michelmore, and Mr. Holman. Mr. Thomas Michelmore gave me to under stand. as the deputation had done, that I should have the duke's support. I should not have come here without. When I came down Mr. Jeffery Blichelmore canvassed with me. I found on the canvass that I had • fair ma jority. There were a few who would not promise. Mr. my partner, came down. Mr. Moore, • friend of Mr. Nl'Dougall's, also came down. He was said to be an able speaker, and Mr. M'Dougall brought him here. I had no conversation with Mr. Dl'llallic about bribery. I was displeased at his coming down, and saw very little of Lim. I am not aware of his saying, " You want to win," or of my saying, " I do ;" and his adding, " Then leave it to me." I had no such oommu nication with Mr. ll'Dougall. On the evening of the AP an if l o ff w e o r ld w d as p r y 2 d , e ooot to r „ pmt Dlr. dent w . en.re me throne s id Cumming that l allowed to po in, at the next election I might walk over. Mr. Cumming rather urged me to give the 2,0001., but I declined peremptorily. He did not tell me that there was a number of men holding out who wanted a large sum for their votes. After that Mr. Cumming came and told me that Mr. Dent had retired un conditionally. I was much pleased, and under the idea that only a small portion of the 1,2001. would be re ; quire,' for expenses. I agreed to give 1,000/. to the town, ' stipulating that 500/. or 6101. was to go to the erection of the British School Lere. I requested that a committee might be appointed to distribute that money. I believe that the committee consisted mostly of my friends, but that there was one member of it who was an opponent of mine. The poll was opened and about 171 voted for me, and five fur Mr. Dent. I leftiTotnes the same day. I did not come down at the time of .Mr. Seymour's election. I had nothing to do either directly or indirectly with the spending of money at Mr. Seymour's election. About the opening of parliament 1 asked Mr. leDougall to get an account of the 1,210/. that 1 had pail Mr. Cumming. In. stead of getting an account of the 1,200/. he found that there was 1,000/. more to be paid, so that in reality my unopposed return in 1862 cost me 2,256/. The first time I came down to Totnea, six or nine months after that, I brought down a cheque for 1,000/. which I had promised to the town ; but what had happened produced a feeling in my mind, which led to Mr. ; Cumming no longer being my agent. I Mr. Jack, Mr. Pender's confidential clerk, produced Mr. Fender's accounts. Mr. Pender's examination resumed—l have no doubt that the money spent in 1862 more or lan aided Mr. Sey mour's election. I think the cheque of 1,0010/. for the charities was drawn upon Overend and Gurney's. I came down here in 1863. 1 had • conversation iu December, 1863, with Mr. T. Michelmore. I was then aware that the duke's influence was considerate, and wished to know how I was to be dealt with in the event of • double election. I did not wish to be made the scape goat, and suggested that the expenses should be divided, and if one were successful he should pay two. thirds, but the decision was to remain with the indepen dent party, and not with the duke. I was told that a double election here would cost 2,00/. From time to time I have sent money to Tutnes for the charities. I was not told when the deputation came to me that money would be required for the back accounts. I bad no private account upon which I drew for money. I may have sent down cheques drawn on a Manchester bank. I have no partner now. The partnership ceased about the middle of 1864. I bad no arrangement with Mr. Seymour as to the propor tions we were to give to the chanties. Although I may have had a little more money to give to charities than Mr. Seymour had, I did not wish to put it to the disadvantage of Mr. Seymour, with whom I wished to be on a par as nearly as possible. I understood in 1865 that the reason Mr. Dent was nut going to contest the borough was that he had spent • great deal of money here. I came prepared with cheques for 2,54a1/. if that *sum was requiraL I had the money in five cheques. I placed 500/. in the Devon and Cornwall Bank ; the remainder I had in my possession. During the time I was here I received a dividend warrant for I,raarl., and I paid it into the National Provincial Dank. It lay there until drawn in the course of business at Manchester, where there is a branch of the same bank. It is possible that when I paid that money into the Na tional Provincial Bank I may have thought it would be as well to give the manager of the bank here a little profit. The cheques I had here were Overend Gurney's, upon Barclay's, and were crossed. Mr. Chaster told me of the dif ficulty of cubing the cheques in Tutees, and I said he had better send up to Mr. Salmon, my clerk, in London. I did not see Mr. Chaster's letter, and I did not suggest the arrangement that Mr. Salmon wax to meet Mr. Chaster at Exeter. I never knew that Mr. Salmon paid the 2,0001. into the Consolidated hank until the evidence gives be fore the committee iu the House of Coir.inons. I formed the acquaintance with the Lorimer, through their being Scotch and I being a Scotchmao. That was in 1862. I was not aware of the money Lorimer paid then, or that be kept back some for a debt due to him. I remember when I canvassed Hill it was in a miserable loft. I found that the wife was near confinement, and the husband said she had not a blanket and had hardly sufficient food to eat. I gave Mrs. Lorimer 101. to give to the Hills in pure cha rity. I received • letter from Hill in 1863 asking for the loan of 200/., which I declined. I did not tell Lorimer to go to Holman to get money for Reeve. I Lad no idea that Holman was dispensing money until I read the evidence. I never directed any one to go to another person for money. It is quite likely if Lorimer had mentioned anything about money to me that I should have replied, " I know nothing about money matters." Lorimer never told me that Reeve would want • present. I had uo idea who was going to distribute money. I knew that he was an active man. I should have expected Mr. Windeatt to furnish the account, be being the legal agent. I knew that the 2,0001. was to be speat in bribery, and it was not my business to know anytbiag about it. I was told the other day that Mr. Chaster had about 3001. left out of the 2,000/. I remember the Nev. W. H. James coming to me and telling me that pressure was being put upon him. Ido not know whether I read the letter of Mr. Edmonds then, but Mr. James said he looked on it as an intimidation. I said it was pomible that Mr. Edmonds might not call the money in ; but if be did, and I could do tt with propriety, I woad let him have the same money on the same security. I consulted Mr. Windeatt, who thought there would be no harm in loading the money on the same security, I mentioned it to Mr. Heald, who was brought up in the law, and be said he would give me a cheque upon • Man chester bank. He did so, and I went to Mr. Bowden, to whom I explained the transaction, gave him Mr. Heald's arama. OLYMPIC. A dress rehearsal of Mr. Tom. Taylor's new Irish drama The White Boys was given at this hones last night before a select audience, to teat the working of the play before the theatre opens with it to-night. The prim . cipal character, a heroine of the Arrait no Popue order, is represented by Miss Mllly Palmer (her first appearance at the Olympic) ; the hero, an lriah peasant, is represented by Hr. Neville, and the low comedy part—an English solicitor—is given to Mr. Dominick Murray, who is also a new member of the Olympic company. Mr. Addison re turns to this house after along absence and many wander ings, and is fitted with the part of a blustering Irish land lord of 1795. The drama bas a strong homely interest. though it is somewhat conventional in treatment, and the actors exerted themselves in the most spirited manner before an audience even more remarkable for coldness than rehearsal audiences generally are. We shall notice the drama more hilly after the public performance to-night. GREAT YARMUCTII ELECTION COMMISSION. — This commission will resume its sittings next week. It is proposed to inquire into the election which took place for the borough in lees 9 ; but it is understood that counsel'' , ouinieu he. ;:ecti taken es to vi,.ther coonaialioners, under the terms of their eppoiutment, have power to go into this matter. It is expected, however, that) the inquiry will proceed as proposed. THE l'HoPotiED BAS(ICLT Ti) MR. GLADSTONE AT BELFANT.—We underatand that it is in contemplation to invite Mr. Gladstone to a public banquet in Belfast. Many influential members of the liberal party in the pro vince of Ulster have determined on taking steps to bnng about this result, and a requisition will, we are informed, be at once very numerously signed. We are glad to see the liberals of Belfast and the province of Ulster anxious to du honour to the statesman who is accepted as the leader of their party, and whose great financial services, and more especially ai respect to the commercial treaty with France, have, iudependently of all his other claims to such a mark of respect, so directly added to the prosperity of this town and district. Mr. Gladstone having himself expressed his determination not to take prominent part in the reform agitation, it is not the intention of the gentlemen who will sign the requisition to make the reform question the principal ground for sending the invitation. Taking a comprehensive view of Mr. Ghulstoue's public career, they wish merely to request the honour of his company at a public entertainment, leaving it to himself to fix the time. There can be little doubt that, if Mr. Gladstone's ar rangements prevent him from coining to Belfast during the present autumn, he will in least accept the invita tion for some future period. The requisition will, sooner or later, have the ellect intended. Air. Gladstone is never more at home than in addressing his appreciative audiences in the large cummercial towns of the United Kingdom ; and, whenever he may find it convenient to comply with the invitation, the impression lie will per sonally produce must be highly advantageous to the in terests of the liberal cause throughout Uister.—/Verams if Aiy. REPRESENTATION OF Laurence Waldron has issued his address to the electors of Tippe rary. lie pledges himself, because he believes that Lord Derby has " determined not to act Ull any exclusive prin. ciple, but to put an end to the political ascendency of every sect and party in Ireland, which, since emanci pation, is the most important move made towards the per manent peace and good govenimeut of the country, to give him an independent support, so long as be administers his govenonent in this spirit." lie lulls that it is desirable that the "party which removed the Catholic disabilities should apply itself to remove likewise the religious inequalities which exist here," and he would therefore give any well considered plan for taking away this cause of irritation and discontent his hearty support ; hut it should respect vested rights. As to tenant-right, be always Fein:seated corn• pensation for improvements ; and, regretting the differ ences of opinion in reference to the education question, he would give his most anxious attention towards the satis factory settlement of it. ELOPEMENT OF A CLERGYMAN. — During the past week considerable excitement prevailed in the town of Mansfield and the neighbourhood coneequent on the rumour that the Rev. J. T. Brameld, incumbent of St. John's church, had left the town in company with a young lady named Paulson. So LULA/VIM were the rumours afloat in the town , and so extremely opposite were the statements, that ' it wits di ffi cult to decide whether the rumour was true or lst. Since the elope ment of the parties sevensl letters have been received ie the town from Mr. Bruneld, which leave no doubt as to the correctness of the parties being to gether. One letter, we uuderetand, contained a cheque for over 200!. (supposed to be the lady's money) for the liquidation of his debts. If confirmation of the elopement was required, this was °fielded last Sunday morning in St. John's church by the Rev. Archdeacon Mackenzie, who tacitly admitted the fact in his sermon. The church was crowded on the occasion, the appear. ance of the congregation being of the most mournful character, especially amongst the I corer class, b whom Mr. Brameld was greatly beloved. Mr. Bratneld is a married man, and the ellen Las plunged his family in the greatest distress. The young lady, who it 29 years of age, belongs to a highly respectable family her only parent (her mother) being an invalid, and it is (Oared her daughter's misconduct in this case will most seriously affect her health ; indeed, we hear that she is now confined Ito her bed from the shock she Las sustained.

DESPATCH OF TROOPS TO CANADA.•—The Cana dian mail steamer Hibernian sails from Liverpool today with the Ist battalion of the 'Xith Foot, comprising two officers and 101 non-commissioned officers and men. The Pennsylvania, belonging to the National Steam Navigation Company, is now nearly oumplete in her arrangements for the transport of troops, and she is expected to leave Liver pool to-morrow with 34 officers, 7 officers' wives, 13 chil dren, and about MO rant alai file, together with 74 wives of soldiers and 100 children. She will also carry about 400 tons of warlike stores. In the first instance she will call at Belfast to take on board the 24th Best., which is intended to replace the 100th, now in garrison at Malta. She will then proceed to Malta, where the exchange will take place, and 'ltems*, without further interruption, to Quebec. The Londonderry Standard of Saturday says a member of the constabulary force, stationed at Buedoran, at left petty sessions, charged Patrick Daly and others with reaping ooze ea Sunday.
