WEDNESDAY, OCT. 21. TILE REOENERATION. ONE of the principal objects of the new rulers of Spain must be, we take it, to restore the credit of the state and to fertilise the country with foreign capital. Under the successive finan cial administrations of the fallen monarchy the credit of the state had fallen so low that Spanish securities bad become a byword on every Bourse, and the ptrpetual disappointments of Londholders, who found themselves the victims of ingenious devices of repudiation, were not calculated to remove the interdict which every considerable money market in Europe had placed on the 1.:-re mention of a loan. Yet the Oovi rtanent of (luer•n I ,, ALELL.t persevere 1 in its l.rofiee reckless expenditure. ]'rr•m thr Palace throughout every branch of tl.a admini-tration the lavish waste of the puh:ic fortune never ceased. Favourites, inten dants, priests. police spies, revelled in the pillage. Vast MITItS wrung from public indigence were squandered in maintaining an overgrown army, which was destined to explode in the hands that abused it for the maintenance of a shameful sysn In of misrule. All the moral and all -the material wants of the country were systematically neglected. The commonest necessities of com merce and industry, public roads, facilities of intercommunication among the provinces of the monarchy, were never thought of, while the ministers of the QUEEN were making a puree. The railways which the enterprise of foreign spe culators had constructed languished in the midst of a country endowed with all the riches of nature and inhabited by a hardy and energetic race. A dominant church pandered to the flagrant immoralities which protected it, and fostered laziness and superstition as the guarantees of its power. In short, Spain, so nobly gifted— so proud of old traditions of greatness —wee a wasted force in European civilisation. The nun who have now come back from exile to establish the principle of national sovereignty have learned, from Litter experience, perhaps from their meditations and observations in happier countries, that nothing less than " a emu " plot() system of liberties," as the manifesto of the Provisional Government expresses it, is needed to begin and to complete the work of the national regeneration. And of these hler ties religions liberty is ammiredly sot the least urgent. Tho telegraphic summary of AO dipl4- midi° circular informs us that it amine "at length the question of freedom of " public worship, and expresses hopes for the " free exercise of every religion." When the whole document is before us, wo trust wo AO find that it not only " examines the ques t tion," but solves it in the only way that can restore the confidence and conciliate the respect and sympathy of liberal Europe. The Provisional Government has indeed given an earnest of its in telligent appreciation of the exigencies of the time by its dealing with those aggressive reli gious corporations which have so long bold cap tive the soul of the nation ; and by those decrees which liberate the soil from mortmain and the intellect of the young generation from a withering intolerance. Free education, free faith, free land, free trade, will work wonders, and while the new rulers are occupied in getting rid of inveterate &bums, it can ne►er be too soon for them to occupy themsdves in laying the foundation of a new order of things, and in training up a new generation worthy to enjoy and able to preserve it. It is idle to talk to enlightened Spaniards of the present day of the past glories of a Catholic monarchy, and its " unity of faith," or to sentimentalise on the beauty and beneficence of religions corporations in dark are. Lot the dead bury their dead. The men of to-day know what Catholic unity has cost them and their country. They know what the altered circumstances of civilisation demand of a country which aspires to greatnesa and prosperity in the nineteenth century. But it would be unjust to expect the Pro visional Government at Madrid to reconstruct a new Spain on the ruins of the old in a week or a month. Some allowance must be made for inveterate national habits and prejudices. No doubt it is the misfortune of all revolutionary governments to consume precious moments in doing much that might well be left undone : in distributing rewards, in Ending places for ad herents, in assisting at public festivals. Wo should be glad to see SZURANO, PRIM, and their colleagues signalising their brief tenure of supreme power by decisive acts of policy in the sense of public economy and retrenchment; setting an example to Europe by reducing an overgrown military service aad thinning the ranks of useless functionaries. Ou the other hand they are well advised in avoid ing as much as possible the appearance of usurping by anticipation the prerogatives of a constituent assembly. Precipitation in the acts of a provisional government is apt to create reaction. Enough for them to sustain the civil power, and to pay &constant homage to public liberty. The choice of a monarch is a secondary consi deration, and can well afford to wait. Above all, as they would deserve the respect of Europe, let them shun every semblance of conducting the universal suffrage to which they appeal after the manner of French Imperialism. Of all forms of government, let them abjure a democratic des potism as the vilest and moat debasing. It would be pitiable to And the system which is already perishing in France deliberately accepted on the other side of the Pyrenees. They declare their wile to be to "place themselves on a level with the " most advanced nations," not with Russia, or Turkey, or the Second Napoleonic Empire. Let them leave to the Emperor of the Fastscu the honour of entertaining Queen IsABELLA, of guarding the temporal power of the Papacy, of making universal suffrage the basis of arbitrary power. On these conditions " the governments " which march at the head of civilisation "—that is, the Governments of free nations—will be proud to welcome the restoration of Spain to her proper rank as a great European Power. THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY E. " STUMP ORATORY." " Hemeaf patience," as it is represented by the Pall Mall Gazette, is freely exercised just now by the " reports of elaborate orations delivered by " Mr. GLADSTONE at various places in Lancashire " upon the tlisestablisbment of the Irish Church, " economy, and other topics appropriate to the " approaching election." Our contemporary, of course, knows perfectly well beforehand all that Mr. GLADSTONE has to say on all these topics, and, with a candour quite ingenuous, does nut pretend " to have given more than the most cursory glance " to the four columns of illustration and argu " ment as to the relations between the Estah " fished Church and the population of Ireland, " which Mr. Gexesruse extracted the other " day from the Report of the Irish Church " Commissioners for the benefit of the people of " Newton." So the writer in the Pell Mall Gazette, in common, we dare say, with a conside rable portion of his fellow-countrymen, who are newspaper readers only, very judiciously and fairy exercises the privilege of skipping which, even in the literature of the circulating library, is occasionally indispensable to the " human pa " tienee "of the novel-reading public. Our con temporary's patience is, perhaps, of a some svhat fastidious order. Electoral speeches by " a " great statesman—the Prime Minister that "is to be within a few months," cannot really be described without a gross abuse of language as " btunap oratory•." We are not so Americanized in the old country as all that. Our contemporary re marks that " this is the way in which we pre " pure for legislation in this country," and ap pears to be rather disgusted ut this result of a par liamentary system. On this point we will simply take the liberty to a lc our contemporary what he would have ? Would he wish to see Mr. GLAD SIONLat Oxford again, or our future Prime Mi nister asking for u seat in Parliument, on the strength of his reputation and his public services only, without meeting his constituents face to face, and challenging their confidence by an open profession of his political faith ? No doubt it is a great mercy to a free country that men of Dir. Geeerroxx's calibre can be found who are willing to go through all this rough and ready work of a representative of the people, in stead of philosophizing in retirement on a system of government which should be purely administrative, and yet, in some degree, parliamentary, and should embrace the advantages of a popular constitution without the " engagements" to which statesmen and legis lators in Great Britain are subject. But wo must take either one thing or the other—either a free and popular representative system, with all its worry and tumult and vulgar bustle, or rulers and ad ministrators without the sense of responsibility, and only in contact with the people through the aria of the Executive. Parliamentary government certainly tries the patience of a few learned pundits; it has the humbler merit of encouraging and satisfying the " human patience of the multi tude. TIIE BALLYCOIIEY PROPERTY.—The property of Ballycohey ban at last passed into the hand 4 of a Moore, Esq., M.l'. the difference between Mr. Scully and Mr. Moore bein g settled by the latter payuig the November's rent, aa w all aa the purchase money.

DOITINNIN. concurring in the general principles laid down by the liberal pram% in the dimenueion ariang out of tho correepondenoo between Mr. Mill and Mr. llouverie . . _ in reference to Mr. Mille of Mr. Chad- wick to the electors of Kilmarnock, the Daily News, at the same time, does not thiuk that all the elements of a fair judgMent upon the case have been held before the public. It should be borne in mind that Mr. Chadwick had already been requested by a section of the constituency to come forward in opposition to Mr. Bouverio before Mr. Mill's letter was written, and the bon. member for West minster did not write nod tomb but was asked for his opinion. Even then his letter was a general one, recom mending Mr. Chadwick to any constituency whatever. But, says our contemporary, unless our memory much de mires us, we have seen Mr. Mill censured in columns where the offence imputed to him, if it be an offence, is daily repeated. With what justice or decency can an anonymous journalist, who morning after morn ing praises one candidate and disparages another in public, find fault with Mr. Mill for fairly stating the qualifications of a gentleman whom he has known many years? The result of an inquiry into all the facts of the case shows that the opposition to Mr. Bouverie at Kilmarnock is not an affair so purely per sonal and gratuitous as it has been represented, and that it, at any rate, was not an invention of Mt. MilL The Times comments upon the correspondence in a ban tering tone. The new fashion of furnishing gentlemen who " want a place " in Parliament with what in bumbler spheres of life aro usually known as " characters," to show their possible employers, has not given as much general Labs/action as its novelty and ingenuity would ap pear to merit. The faithful few who believe that whatever Mr. Mill says or does is right, have not taken to it kindly, although they would not, perhaps, object to it if it could be kept exclueasely in Mr. Mill's hands ; but, as there is no constitutional precedent for bestowing on any one man a patent for making M.P.'s, rash outsiders will try their Laud at it, and then the process will look very like that tilt., and somewhat vulgar expedient known as a "Mutual Admiration Society." Anticipating that its readers would be interested in endeavour lug to trace the marks of that une'ampled capacity for a political career which has elicited such high pmiso from so high an authority, our contemporary reprint, a speech recently delivered by Mr. Chadwick at Kilmarnock, but thinks that the result will, on the whole, be disappointing. What autobiography he gives is, says the nil.; rather olcrure, °scold, indeed, that he is the " son-in-law of a Scotehman who was the father of cotton manufacture." lie is, therefore, himself, our eoutempotary presumes, its brother-in-law, with a claim to represent manufacturing interests somewhat re sembling that of the gentleman whu set up as a wit on the strength of Laving married a cousin of Sydney Smith. Mr. Claidwiek'r claims upon the constituency are based upon his profound knowledge of the laws of sanitary science. bet surely neither he nor Mr. Mill can seriously think that it is worth while to create a factious spirit in the libtoil pas ty, and risk the less of a liberal scat, merely in r to ge t the possessor of such knowledge Maids, tho Hum e of Commons. The head and front of Mr. Bouverie's off. suileg is that he did not invariably vote with Mr. olaiistetiti; that. as Mr. Mill puts it, he oecaiianally &flirted tho part of an '• independent nicinlier." It is a Lttle odd to End Mr. Mill, ill any case, denouncing such a I art, supposing it played honestly and oa public grounds. hut it is doubly ield, in this particul caw, in *Lich he Lliartif assumes the functions of an aidependent member. CLERICAL OONTLIIACT. Referring to the conduct of Mr. Purchas and his attitude towards the Ili-hop of Chichester, the Pest says it i, usoheis for Mr. Disraeli to cry "No Popery," and clamour for the mainknance of the church in Ireland ; it is useless for Mr. Gladstone to predict prosperity for the whole kingdom if that church is swept away ; it is worse than useless to can vass subscriptions for the endowment of new bishoprics, if the church in England is to become a byword and a laugh ing-stock, and if her chief dignitaries are to be virtually peclauried " dummies " by the law of the land. YONACIIIIIX IN STAIN. That the renewed impositiou of monaehism in Spain was regarded by the publi: as an incubus sod a curse, is, says the 7rhpraph, manifest when it is remembered that almost the lint act of the people, us yew) , city which •• pronounced,•• was to drive out the Seiniuirists and the Jesuits. But, if liberty of cutisciencJ is to be indeed the law in Spain, it would be well to submit this truly imps• nal question as early as po,sible to the arbitram , ut of universal sufftage.

The appointment of two new judges in Ireland is announced, Mr. Warren. the Attorney-tic:nem!, h•iving become Judge of the Probate Court, while the Solicitor- Central has received the post of Judge in Bankruptey, vacant through the death of Mr. Berwick in the Abergole catastrophe. Mr. Warren's promotion is caused by the retirement of Judge Keating°, who is 74 years of ago, and his had a seat on the judicial bench since 1813. Mr. Keatinge is the fifth Irish judge who has been placed upon the pension list since the present government came into office, while in England five, and in Scotland two, judges have been similarly superannuated. The British and Foreign Bible Society is taking advantage of the change that has occurred in Spain to urge forward its operations in that country in a manner which has hitherto been impossible. Large supplies of the Bible in Spanish have already been sent out, and depOts for the sale and distribution of them are to be established in all the principal towns. The society announces that it will spare neither labour nor money in carrying out this work, and it appeals to the public to support its efforts by special contributions.

Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess of Prussia went to St. Cloud yesterday to visit the Emperor and the Empress. Their Majesties will return the visit at the Louvre Hotel to-day. The Moniker of this morning says :—" The ple nipotentiaries of the governments of the six states bordering the Rhine signed on the 17th instant the Rhine Navigation Convention as recently re vised, together with the regulations and protocols thereto annexed." OUR PARIS LETTER. (111101 0171 OWN PARIS, Terzenki Emma. The Princess of Prussia, attended by a numerous suite, arrived at the Grand Hotel du Louvre at I o'clock in the night. This morning she proceeded to Mt. Cloud to pay a visit to the Emperor and F.mpress. The visit was returned by their Ma jesties at 5 o'clock this evening. They stayed with Ler royal highness exactly half an hour. Owing to the best apartments in the hotel being occupied by the Egyptian princes, tho Princess was obliged to be content with the next host, and her carriages had to come in by the public entrance instead of the private ono, which is monopolised by the Egyptians. In the course of the night a screen, quite a novelty in the Hotel du Louvre, was put up in the first-floor corridor, near the common reading-room, to preclude the possi bility of intruders opening, even by mistake, a door of the rooms assigned to the Princess. Her oyal highness leaves for London to-morrow morn ing on a visit to the Queen. The ministerial council yesterday is believed to have transacted nothing but current Liminess, postponing till a " more convenient season " all the great political questions which it was expected to treat of. It sat from 9 to 3 o'clock, and the " Empress," says the Patti", " settled" several quettiens relating to charitable establishments. Five colonels of the staff are to heave Paris on Thursday with a uti,sion to complete the organisa tion of the Mobile National Guard in the depart molts. The clothing is all ready, and the more or less willing pupils of this new institution will have to undergo at least five days' drill in the course of the month of December. Apropos of this militia the Guuteis states that while at Biarritz the attention of the Empress" was called to certain serious inconveniences apprehended from the too literal execution of the law on the Mobile National Guard, and that in consequence some important practical modifications are likely to be made. This is, I think, the first time that a French paper has openly taken for granted the fact long whispered in private that France is now governed by the Empress a great deal more than by the Emperor. The Spanish revolution came very ammo, to check the propagation in France of the principles of the bankrupt firm of Isabella, Patrocini, Claret, Marfori, and Co. But their spirit is still but too influential at the court of the Tuileries, where dreams are enter tained of repairing the disappointment caused by the bieakdowa of tho shameful alliance contem plated when the Count and Countess Girgenti were feted at Fontainebleau, and which was to have been consummated at Biarritz. The Opinion Nationale says that before the court left Biarritz precise instructions were sent to M. Mercier, the French Minister at Madrid, ordering Lim to press the provisional govern ment to come to a prompt decision as to the choice of a sovereign. The reported acquies cence of Prim and his coadjutators in the advice of the Junta not to hurry, seems to show that another failure is to be added to the many which have lately diminished the prestige of Napoleon 111. The opposition at Avignon, which has long been put upon its mettle by the high-handed proceedings of Dr. Pamard, formerly the mayor, and now deputy for the district, has just obtained a signal victory at the municipal elections. Out of 21 town councillors elected on Sunday, 14 belong to the opposition list and only 7 to that of the government. M. Poncet, the mayor, is ono of the defeated seven. There must be a second ballot for seven more members, and it is expected that the opposition will gain most of the seats yot unde cided. The Boum goes on conquering and to conquer. Rente closed to-day at 70fr. 45c., both for cash and account, with a further rise of 25e. Credit Fonder rose Mfr. 75c ; but Mobilies fell lfr. 23c. ltalian rose 93e. The fl.ueritr de Bayohne states that the ex- Queeu Isabella received on the 10th a telegram congratu lating her Majesty on the double anniversary of her birth day and her marriage. _ An inters ding lit racy discovery has been acci dentally made in the Library at Frankfort. The full of a shelf holding volumes containing the corrupendenee of Voltaire and Frederick the (inset brought to light certain ItISS., yellow and dirty, which turned out to boa series of kttcrs exchanged between Voltaire and Pyron. Their authenticity being duly certified, they were forwarded to the Royal Academy of Berlin. A communication from Vienna, in the Frankfort Aroma!, says :—" It is asserted that the Catholic clergy of Cronstadt (Transylvania), who had been invited by their bishop to make known their views as to whether it was advisable to introduce any reforms into the catholic church, aro said to have replied that the suppression of celibacy seemed to be the most useful change and most urgent, as the prohibition of marriage had consequences most detri mental to the clergy in public opinion." The Nouvelliate de Bourn mentions a case of quadruple birth at Neueville-Coppegueule. A woman there, named Quillent, has just given birth to four female children, three of whom are now alive. The mother is 22 years of age. THY FEUDS OF MM. PEBEIRE AND M. MIRES. —The announcement of the termination of the differences between MM. rendre and M. MirZs seems to have been at least premature. After the causes of dispute had been submitted to a tribunal of arbitration and a truce had been established, the former state of antagonism hes been revived. In • letter to the Presm M. Xi:4s says he has made every concession possible but in vain. In 1848 there wore 12,000 miles of telegraph wire in the United States. In 1858 the number of miles was 40,000, and before the does of this year there will be 120,000 miles. From New York in 1803 two wires went eastward and three southward. In 1868 eight wires went eastward and ten southward, and at the present time there are from 30 to 36 wires on both roans. A good operator can send 2,000 words per . hour. The message, " Cannot came ham till next trauk,' requires the operator under the present system to transmit 66 delude By a now system Invented much a tmessis would only regain 21 Mpasks.—New lark IWiapar. ~ E~ • IiI.IOLAD6TONN IN LANC4BHIRN. Last evening, Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Gran&ll addrvesed a sassing of the electors of the south-western diviners of t►e county of Lance/ter at Leigh, the meeting Wag held in the weaving shed of the Co-operative Mill, and about four thousand perinea being present. The fact of its being held in that place led Mr. Gladstone to make • few remarks on the subject of the relations of capital and labour. There were those, he said, who considered that this was among the great difficulties of the day, but he was not of that opinion. He bad sufficient oonfidance in the good sense of his conntrymen, and especially of the two great dames immediately concerned, to feel • perfect convic tion that they will dad their way through the mattes and manes of that quietism to a sada/eatery pieties. De ferring to the question of the increase in the public mien diture, and to the attacks which have been made upon him for not resisting it, he having, as alleged, a majority, the right hon. gentleman observed that no one could tall when the majority wee on any particular ques tion, and stated that at meetings at his hones they con sidered seriously the question whether they shaskl a* • ►ote of the Home of Common' as the state of the public expenditure, and deliberately decided that they should not, became it would interfere with the program at the Re form Bill. Mr. Gladstone comdanned the conduct of the Conservative candidate in various parts of the country is primal*" the •id of government for local expenditure. Proceeding to the question of the Irish church, the right hon. gentleman said that since last spoke ea that subject the government had toms& a new ally in the Querlerly Review. Last year there was a remarkable paper in that publication entitled "The Conservative Surrender." Any words need by the opposition of the liberal party were watery and faint compared with the bleating, withering, and scorching acorn which this writer in the Review be dewed on the government, but now the conservative surrender itself bad surreadered—(laughter and cheers) there wee • new article in the Review, in which, having blackened the government twelve months ago with every epithet the ingenuity of man could extract from the voca bulary to destroy the last rag of that character and the last hope of prosperity and sumer, the article wound up by saying that now that an election wad taking place, the result would be the return of • decided conservative majority for the government. This (continued the right hon. gentleman) is the date of things at which we have arrived. I may refer to it because I do not think the judgment of that or of any other Review, or the judgment of any man or of any united body of men, can contravene the judg ment of public opinion, and because this Quarterly Review itself has been for so many years ono of the loudest and most open-mouthed advocates for paying the Homan catholic* in Ireland. and of course the preebyterian clergy along with them. CASUALTIES AT SEA. A terrible story is told in an abstract, pub lishid this morning, of the returns made to the Board of Trade of wrecks, casualties, and collisions which occurred on and near the coasts of the United Kingdom last year. Between January and December, the number officially reported was no less than 2,01.0, which was 230 more than in the previous par, and 399 in excess of the average of the six years ending in 1867. No doubt this result is to a consider...hie extent attributable to the increased number of ships navi gating our coasts and the adjoining narrow seas; but the excess is E 0 large as to indicate special and exceptional causes. Indeed the heavy gales that prevailed in January, March, April, October, November, and De cember add. d no fewer than 980 wrecks and casualties to the Est, about three-sevenths of this number having act/m.4 in the tint and last months of the year. The must serious gale of the year was that which commenced on the lbt December and continued until the 3rd, during which 319 lives were lost and 326 vessels were lost or de stroyed. The number of vessels lost in 1867 was 2,513, which is in excess of the number of disasters records!, for the obvious reason that in cases of collision two or more ships are involved in one casualty. Those vessels represented a registered tonnage of 464,000 tons. Of the total number 2,113 are known to have been ships belong ing to ;Great Britain and its dependencies, with British certificates of registry ; 338 were foreigners, and of the remaining 62 none survived to tell of country or employment. Of the total number of disasters 414 were collisions, 1,676 wore wrecks and other casualties, the number of wrecks resulting in total loss being 656. Of these. 6.5 arose from defects in the ship or her equip ments-45 having foundered from sheer unseaworthinese —and no less than 106 appear, from the reports made by the officers on the coasts, to have been caused by in attention, carelessness, or neglect. Nevertheless it is a somewhat remarkable fact that, in the nine years ending in 181;7, the disa-tors to comparatively new ships bear a very high proportion to the whole number. By far the greatest number of disasters occurred on the east cast of England, there having been 1,101 ; while on the west coast there were 411, south coast 2.:19, and Irish coast 214. With regard to the actual loss of life, the facts recorded in these returns are still more deplorable. The aggregate number of victims was 1.333, which was in excess of any year excepting 18.19, " the Royal Charter year," when the number reached 1,667. Of the total number, 637 went down with ships that foundered, 163 lives were lost on hoard vessels in collision, 445 in those stranded or cast ashore, while nearly 300 were lost in fishing boats alone. There is, however, some consolation to be found in the returns given of the lives that have been saved, in a large measure no doubt ;through the agencies provided by the Board [of Trade and the National Lifeboat Institution. In thirteen years the total expenditure paid out of the Mercantile Marine Fund for life-saving apparatus has been 89,6911. 13s. 3d. the vote of last yoar alone amounting to 16,7801. 10s. .Id. This philanthropic provi sion has contributed to the gratifying result that whereas during last year alone 1,333 lire. were lost, 5,813 were saved by these and other means employed. Another correspondent of the Times, Mr. Sydney Ledge, expresses his disapproval of the vote of the went grant of 2,000/. by the Christian Knowledge Society for the Dean of Maritaburg and the Church Committee of the Diocese of Natal , contendingthat, constituted as thesoziety is, of persons representing various views held in the Church of England, such a vote was inconsistent with its position and character. In concluding, the writer says he shall renew a motion which be made on the 6th inst., at the mooting ou the let of December. The Dublin Esprass announces the appointinmt of the Roc. ii. Dickinson to he Dean of the Chapel Royal . . in place of the Bishop-designate of l'eterborouA. Mr. Dickinson ts already first chaplain to his Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant, and until Dean Mageris appointment to the deanery. the two oflicee had been usually tilled by the same cle.gyumm there being no salary attached to Cie chaplaincy. The emoluments of the deanery are not ex travagant, the income being 1371. a year, out of which the sub-dean bus to be paid. ROYAL.
