IL SECOND AND THIRD EDITIONS OP THE E X I' R E S S, The Latest Tclegrallilli Election News; the Latiat City; Railway, Mining, and other Bhn/v.4 ; Sporting, and General Intelligence, AM Pt - SLIMED EVERY EVENING. LONDON, THURSDAY, yore 19. - - TIIE SECOND DAY. Or nearly seventy seats contested or uncon tested yesterday considerably more than half ac crued to the Liberals. Thu second day of a general election is but moderately exciting compared with the first, and its results are apt to be more evenly balanced between the two parties. The ultimate issue of this greet struggle was more than fore eliadowed on Tuesday. The closing figures of that day's lx Ling lists might be taken as a tolerably exact an icipatiun of the future House of Commons. When we come to the counties, especially in the west, there is not much novelty to be lo died for. Those village householders of whom Mr. DL4RAELI used to draw fancy pictures whim he was stating the ease of the counties against the towns, appear with scarcely any noticeable exceptions to be as docile, or contented, or indifferent as their neigh bours the farmers, and to value very slightly their new privilege of voting for other than territorial candidates. When they do vote, it is generally on the side their bread is buttered. Their political predilections, if they own any, aro bounded by the nearest horizon. The cantankerous radical is almost a luau *ahem: in those communities. Where the candidate is an advancing Whig they take him for his local interests and not for his strange principles. The representatives of squires and tenants and general shopkeepers form the solid substratum of an English parliament, and their plates will not be vacant in the new House. Alarmists who so gaily announced the coming deluge and an ugly rush of democratic voters and candidates through the constitutional breach are beginning to be disappointed. The old names and the old faces are reappearing as if nothing had hap pened, and the new ones bears strong family likeness to the old. The dreaded working-man, who was to Dave been everywhere is nowhere; the Reform League has not so much as squeezed its head, much has its tuil, into a metropolitan borough ; and the " working man's friend " is a lawyer, or a baronet, or a local plutocrat with all the old familiar shibboleths in Lis mouth. Some wise men, who see much fartherthan their neighbours, have said that the character of the second, and not of the first, Rouse of Commons will mark the epoch, and that fur the present the effects of the "" THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 19, 1868• Reform Bill will be felt in the tighter hold of the constituencies upon their deputies. It may bo on; for the present one diseenis nothing more formidable than a few riots iu Le:roughs hero and Vlore, where rioting is one of the recognised local sports iinl pastimes at eleo tion time. What may be called the higher order of " roughe," the patrons of prise fights, the varieties of betting men, the shoddy aristocracies, the vulgar juvenile dandyism of counting-houses and public oftioos, aro for the moat part, from fashion or " Corinthian" sympathies, or sheer w ant of ideas, or a mingled vacuity and servility of mind, on the Conservative side, and they by no means constitute a " party of order." Some times their antics provoke retaliation ; for there are limits to the indulgence, or tho tolerance of majorities of electors who aro in earnest; and Britons of all dames and parties are only less pug nacious than Irishmen in their festive moments of public We. Yesterday's elections were, on the whole, deci dedly satisfactory. The solitary Tory victories of the day before in the City and in Westminster had, perhaps, operated as an admonition to the Liberals of Chelsea, who would not be seduced even by the charms of a powerful local builder, or of a brilliant and justly popular and respectable gen tle man of the tress (the author of " Our dear old Church of lingland ") from their alle giance to the cause. In spite of many obvious disudvautages on this occasion, this new borough has justified its enfranchisement byrepudiating the vows and promises of Toryspuu core, and refusing to stand alone) and apart as the Tory suburb. The defeat of Mr. IC ARSLAKE at Colchester is perhaps to bo attributed to the deli cate feeling of the °looters of that borough. who would not divide the destinies of two brothers ; The late Parliament could have spared one of them ; the new Hours will endeavour to spare both. In the general discomfiture and dispersion of the Allullamitcs Mr. UORSMAN has left his seat at Stroud to a Liberal of lees exalted preten tious, but of truer allegiance. Cookerenouth leis found a Liberal successor to Lserd MAYO. C hristchurch has shaken otf Tory influent's. Ilridgoorth, we regret to see, has missed the honour of preferring Sir JOHN Aerus'a high minded independence of character and flue intelligence to the handsome exterior dis played in the photograph of Mr. Wu:unmet:. The House of WHITMORE, however, is an berNii tary dynasty in those parts, and to disloilge even a tolerably plain candidate of that name seems filmed a desperate attempt for a stranger. Upon the return of Colonel CRICHTON STUART for Cardiff, instead of the barrister who took Lord Brill's name in vain, and was announced by unauthorized agents as the only candidate of the Castle, we may be permitted to congratulate Lord BUTE ; since it shows that the strict neutrality which was pro milted by Lord Br-re, and which his agents in his al st rice attempted to eouiprovaise, has been faith fully observed. Such an example, if he will be lieve us, is better for any cause than a stolen or extorted triumph. The public) spirit which the present general election has called forth on both sides is in our judgment infinitely inoere important and beneficial to our common country thee:l . th° victory of either party. There is no denying, how ever, that the voice of the boroughs of .England arid Wake has pronounced for Mr. GLADSTONE. Sentence of death has been recorded against the Cabinet of Mr. DISRAELI. Ho must make the best be can of that indisputable fret when lie aid &oases Lis constituents to-day. hich he has bestows originality. thought, and care. To read his speech with its allasioasto "my " most arch foe," Mrs. WItIORT, the wife of the COesst rrativo number; its playful sour s tiens against Laity Ct•uTON its monk bluntness, " I don't like his ptineiplos " but there is ono thing about him I do like—and that's his wife," is to see Mr. RESNAL OSI ORNE on the hustings gay, •aimated, and alert. Age cannot wither nor mutton stale the variety of a jester of his dramatic and mimetic' powers, and it is difficult to avoid pitying the now Parliament for their loss of the freshest and moat genuinely funny talker of the day. It is all over now ; but how Nottingham bad the heart to dis card this superb fiercely for an amiable but obscure Tory colonel of "Robin Hoods" parses comprehension. Perhaps the severity with which he consented upon the corruption of the oonstitucsoy at the municipal elections, and the latter part of his speech, may explain the mournful fact that Mr. Baa.NAL OSBOINI is onoo more out in the cold. The House of Commons could have spared many • silent politician and many a new member better than this represen tative of the broadly comic element: and those who read of his last appearance at Nottingham will heartily wish to soon hear of him a,-sin. OUR CONTEPdPORARIRS. (THIS DAY.) 3111 1 PEWIT 0/ 71111 • Ri milting upon the MIA which must bare been given to timid people by the fact that the repro sentatien nominee with precisely the same clam as formed the last Howe a Commons, the rinses proceeds to obsorve that it is in the hoz oughs that the great political experi ment has been tried, and it has been made under eireim et ewes which test its tendencies to the utmost. In the firt place, there is before the country a quemion which has raised political sober +elm to the utmost. In the second place the period that has inter vened between the determination to call a now parlia ment and the actual elections has been unprecedent )(fly ug, and the new constituencies have h ut tun, t e feel their power, to form associations, and to tare the tera regiment of individual numbers. The verdict of the country has teen taken after a delay and • preparati ye which truike it more than ordinarily conclusive, awl Vie moult is that the constituencies hay., declared against the present government by a majority more numerous, cam tact, and tee elute than any which has followed • liberal testier since the early days which succeeded the Reform Dill. That the new constituencies desire a number of lefoinis which only a liberal government is likely to take in bend, is indisputable; but looking at the members who have been relieved, it is obvious that the temper of the eke:ten is essentially moderato in every part of England. TLe Deily News also maintains that the borough elec tions trove how vein was the hope with which Mr. Disraeli beguiled the oonservat.vee int v accepting house hold suffrage; and hew unfounded were the alarm under the inflame° of which Mr. Lowe eloquently bLrieked and raved against any reduction of the fran chise. The elect one have dirpelled Mr. Lowe's fears. They have not the leas demolished the baseless fabric of that vision in which Mr. Di/quell is said to have in dulged, of a term of office as long as Lord Liverpool's. The conservative leaden thought that they hail found in hems( hold suffrage • solution of the greet ministerial peoblem, stated by Lord Derby with 'amide simplicity, " tow not to be ousted." By • just retaibutien, house hold etffrage promisee to bi the instrument of their distinction. The remelt of the borough elections' shows in a very satisfactory way the coid.al alaehment of the great majority of the English prop's to sound and sober principles of liberal government, and t v the party whose Political history I. identified with the advocacy and triumjh of those principles. Thu Test Pays the increase of liberal members is due quite as much to the liberalisation of old constituencies as to say sudden change that has been maderin their elements sines the lad election, if not more so. The new eleetars —that ouch-dreaded residuum that was to become • tory democracy, and inaugurate a deluge that would sweep away the cold laudmarka—must be contemed to have peeved very modeled° and diverard. This is just what wus to be expected. TIES OLD JaD :Ml' P 4 The Te:tge aph is coustraked to utter some wr,rds of regret over the "old familiar facer that will be seen no more. While there has been • low of character from among the old members, there Lea been no counterbalanciag importation from among the new candidates. Even the *marmite that took place promised us more than the actual return'. AU the unsuccemodul adventurers were not exactly jokers, but a goodly number would have contributed distinct indi viduality to the debates. Unless there are several " striking novelties in preparation,'• the Telegraph ap prehends that the new parliament may be very aloha and very dal FOREIGN NEWS.

There is yet uncertainty shout the details of Rossini's funeral. His body now lies in • vault of the Madeleine, and I rather think it is there (sal not at St. Roch as was told yesterday) that the service will be performed. Several evening papers say that the Trinith Church is fixed upon: They also mention Saturday as the day ; but I heard from good authority that it was to be Monday. The inference drawn from the facto? Berryer having taken a carriage airing the ether day, that his health had improved, was unfortunately unfounded. He bad expressed a desire to be re moved to his country house at Angerville, but Drt. Nekton and Rimed being convinced thit ho was not strong enough to bear the journey would not bear of it. He begged so hard to go out for a drive that his medical advisers at last oon.sented, but he was brought home i• a few minutes in a fainted state. He has received extreme nnotinn, and is not expected to live many hours. Some of the opposition papers, ignoring the dominant fact of the hoer, that the wind (of power) bloweth where it listeth, affect to be asto nished that certain journals are prosecuted, while others, equally guilty, are unmolested. M. Pel letan, the deputy for Paris, writes that when the police came to his office to seize the Tribune, he inquired what was the offence. The anwor was, " Publishing the Baudin subscription." " Well, hut," said M. Pellotan, " the Suede has published a list of subscriptions several days running. and is not prosecuted." " That may be," said the ofil”r of the law, with blunt frankn-ss, " but what is not a ' mnntruvro ' in the Sievls is one in Tribune." The same doctrine, shocking as it may be to bigoted Englishmen, who fancy there should be but one law for everybody, was openly proclaimed the other day by M. Paul do Catsag nee in the Paya. In answer to the observation of an opposition print, that if a paper, not patronised by government, had published the alarming " bulletin," attributed to a Paris revolutionary committee, it would have been prosecuted, young Caseagnac says quite complacently—That is very true and quite right, I publish it with one motive, and you would have done it with another. Thus we see, literally and authori tatively, practised in Franco of the present day what the great satirist, the author of " Hudi bras,'' wrote as bmsd caricature, that it is lawful for saints to do the very same thing that is repre hensible in the wicked, and yet the action proves contrary— Just as the saint and wicked vary.

Advices have been received from the seat of war to the 10th mat. On arriving at Valeta the &Hien found the Paraguayans fortified in a very strong p having the natural defences of miles of swamps, thick woods and • deep river whose waters form a far more effective barrier than any which the •ki!l of military engineers could construct. Then difficulties preclude the poesibility of an attack from the south, but se the ironclad, have passed beyond the bat teries erected on the river vide, it is supposed that the Marquis of Casias will divide the tomes ander his command and send an army of 111,000 men over to the Chaco. whence they will march up the right hank of the river Paraguay, and rem,' near Assumption to attack Lopez from that quarter. et the eame time that a force is to be sent to march round the swamps and thus hem in the Peraguayans on every side. This course would immediately bring the war to a clog, but it is feared that before the.. measures can be taken they will have retired to occupy some other in..cition for a few days. perhaps Villa Rica or Serra Leon, in the interior. At Villeta there was come hard fighting between the advance guard of the Brazilian army and some Paraguayan troops who were defending a bridge across a small river and a re doubt. Both, however, were taken, and the Paraguayans forced to retreat, leaving their colours and a quantity of arms; the Brazilians suffered severely, sr they fell into an ambuscade and received a tremendous volley at a very short range, which threw one of the infantry corps into such oonfwion that they turned and were fallen ea by cavalry before they could rally. A court-martial was held upon the lieutenant colonel commanding, who was acquitted ; but the corps has since been dissolved, and the officers sod men die tributed amoug the other battalions of infantry. The gold bonds of the new loan have, as was ezpeeted, gone up rapidly, and are eagerly height up at 73 mil reia premium, only 226 milreis having boon as yet paid up. The conditions were too favourable for spemlators not to come into the market immediately. - - I:REENICICH. Tar borough of Greenwich will be soon in the position of a well dowered widow who • is com p:e•lled to marry again, and who has several eligible suitors for her band. Assuming 4r, Gp.tusruss's success in Lancashire to be assured, Greenwich will he called upon in a few days to chose a re pr•sentative in his steed. But this seat then vacant will be infinitely more valuable than it was before the elections of this week. • The honour of succeeding the Liberal leader is something ; and the number of well certificated politicians who are unseated is something more. If the mon of Greenwich had sought deliberately to raise the status of their borough they could not have dons it more effectually than by the patriotic and public-spirited conduct they have pursued. Their election of Mr. GbAnwrosra in his absence, and their chivalrous readiness to keep the borough in waiting for him in case of emergency mark them as a constituency the suffrages of which any states man might be proud of ; and give them, over and above the seat at their bestowal, such an honorarium of prestige and popularity as is in itself a dowry. The question is, upon whom will this fair borough bestow its hand ? Already there are many suitors in the field. Already are the clubs pointing out their favourites, and pro nouncing dogmatically upon their several chances of success. Mr. MILL, Mr. AUSTIN BRUCE, Mr. MILNER GIBSON, and Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE are all tinned ; while a trosp of legal dinconsolates con nected with the present Government, and lacking mates are said to be studying the supposed caprices and weaknesses of Greenwich with an assiduity which betokens a meditated swoop upon her liberties. Never was a borough more hun grily looked after. Never were wooers more varied in character, in endowments, and in expectations. The most refined and lofty philtgoplly of the age ; a ministerial reputation and an official popu huity which make its owner intrinsically valuable to the Liberal camp; Free trade traditions and an advanced policy chastened, but not chilled, by the late responsibilities of office; a lively humour and a brisk wit which rises superior to misfortune and laughs heartily at defeat; and the keen, shrewd ,qualities which are the conventional attributes of fortune hunters—all these are possible suitors for the good graces of the fairest borough on the Thames. We have no doubt that the choice of this electors will be in harmony with their recent con duct ; and that it will be their first care to add an additional grace to their graceful compliment to Mr. Gesnwrossz by giving him a successor whose principles and action will be modelled on his own. Nil. BEANAL OSBORNE AFTER DEFEAT. speech of Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE on return ing thanks for being the lowest on the poll at tho Nottingham election, is inmitablo in its way.. It not merely accepts defeat with good temper, but rushee it the vehicle for more fun and unctuous jollity than will be found in the election speeches of all the successful candidates in the kingdom. Ile is humorous on his opponents, kind to the men who have rejected him, properly flowery when talking of his rivals' wives. That he should have been beaten by " two of the most win " ning women in Great Britain " ie almost matter for rejoicing to the gallant BYANAL °swims ; and that household suffrage should have led to his own downfall only occasions an adroit, if not strictly accurate simile between himself and an inventor who is destroyed by the instrument upon nu PINAL The l'imat aye that of the mats still undecided no less than 159 are ansmtested„ 86 of them being given ap to liberal candidates, and 73 to ommernstives ; and the balance of 13, therefore, goee to increase the bberal ma jonty to 131. The scab left to complete the hours, 127 in enter, semis to be fought for, and soaservatives mast win every one of them to be on an equality with their opponents. If they We two-thirds of the ramaining seats, they will be is a minority of more than 80; if the seats be equally divided, they will be is a minority e:. needing 130, CONSOLATION POl CONSEJITATMI& The Herald observes that although the elections decided yesterday were but kw in number, and their effect upon the numerical strength of patties inconsiderable, it is hardly possible to over-estimate their real importance or regard the result of the days polling with too much satis faction. lhe importance of those decisions rests not in the gain of two or three coroervative seats or in the de feat of Mr. Milner Gibson and Mr. Ma-soy, but in the remarkable corroboration they furnish of the evidencr given s n the first days polling of the predominant 1 of conservative feeling and opinion in the great centres of it thistly End intelligence. The radical party is pr t be in a minority in those very constituencies of aim wh . ch .t Lae claimed fur its own, and its triumph, if triumph it should obtain, will be due entirely to the BUCii Whilk its candidates have met with in those sal dl boroughs, the dishauchirement of which has bzers the gnat cry of the party. lel. LOW/S. In the battles which are to be fought on Church and rilucati , nal questions Mr. lowe's aid will, the 81ar thinks, 1 e found very valuable to the liberal party. He has already done much to expiate his former misdeeds by his resolute stand upon Mr. Gladstone'■ aide in the Irish church debates. His vigorous denunciation on Tuesday of the min:Waal policy proves that he is not disponed to hold back new. He may yet do the mmutry good service am • liberal ttati amen. lf he can forget that he has !ra sped the people, the people will bear no malice and will `reely forgive him. THAI TORT SUCCESS AT rORTIIMATITII.—The Bar rAire Ttl A may. The Morale of Poilsenouth have been Nokia y beaten, and this is all we can truthfully ray.

Mrnimtt_ SPANISH POLITICIANS. There are five well-defined shades of opinion is Spain. Marshal Serrano and Admiral Top'te bold finely to the ougagensents made with the Duke de lionpeosier, and reject, d prisri. any other solution. Marshal Prim has his candidate, known by no one, and who, according to some, would be no other than himself ; while certain people think his project is the famous Iberian union. The Moderadoes cleasly beset Marshal de Nevalichee, trying to induce him to sup port the Prince of the Asturias. The army be commanded is said to be very discontented, and the friends of this Prime are very rich. The departure of Count de Chaste for Paris is raid to have for object an understanding with the ex-Queen Isabella as to the means to be employed to proclaim a regency with the Prince. The choice of the regent is the Gordian knot of this combination. The Cortist party was believed to be dead, but it was only slumbering. There seems to be all the difficulty in the world in re straining the chiefs of she guerillas, and precise orders were obliged to be given by Don eirlos to prevent, for the moment, an appeal to arms. As to the republicans, they will fight their battle, and much sooner than is expected. They say they have been mystified by the rising of Cadiz, and repeat in every tone that the decen tralisation and autonomy which the provinces re quire can only be achieved by the form of a Commonwealth.

BAVAELL Count Luxburg, president of Lower Franconia —a statesman known to be in tho coufidenco of the King of Bavaria—has just issued an address to the members of tLo district council of that pro vince, which contains some curious revelations as to the policy of Bavaria towards Prussia: Ills iajcsiy (he says) has authorised me to tell you that it is his unshaken resolve to maintain the indepen dence . . . . of Bavaria The govern ment has boon blamed for not strictly fulfilling its duties to the country. You know that in poli ties it is necessary to consider facts. We cannot conceal it from ourselves that we are not free to do as we like. The war of 11466 has created, against our wishes, a rolitical situation which the government has been com pelled to aca•pt. Its forces have not always enabled it to maid certain domande, and hence it has been falsely con cluded that it has not done its duty in maintaining the independence of the country. The worst of evils for a rmall state is iiolation, for it it apt to contribute more then anything else to the loss of that independence to which we all attach such importance. Being convinced of this truth, the government has endeavoured to prevent such a misfortune by augmenting the military strength of the country. armor= names AINIIICY.) LORD NAPIER. BRDMISI, Nov. 19.

The obsequies of Baron James do Rothschild took place to-day. Speaking in an undertsker's point of view, it was an extremely simple one. Tho public were astonished to find that the great banker, who passed here for being the richest man in the world, did not have a " first-elan " funeral. There were but two horses to the hearse, whereas many an obscure bourgeois is taken to his last home by four. The train of mourners, however, more than made up for the studied want of magnificence in the parade ordered by the family. At least 8,000 people fol lowed the corpse, and when the head of the cortege was at the Bastille, on its way to Nre La Chalets, the Boulevard des Italiens was still crowded by the tuil. A great many foreign ministers sent their carriages, and the members of the Jewish per suasion mustered in great strength. The funeral service at the cemetery was performed by the Chief Rabbi of Paris, M. Isidore. Several other rabbis assisted. Tho will is to be opened to-morrow, and its contents are looked forward to with great interest. Baron James, although a very old resi dent in Paris, was not naturalised, or even domi ciled in Franco. His will, therefore, is that of a foreigner, and the French oodo will only apply to the Court. WINDSOR CASTLE. Nov. 15.
