LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 28. THE MARQUIS OF SALISBURY AT :11.4 NCHESTER. "We must be one people," said Mr. BRIGHT the other day at Birmingham, in congratulating his constituents on the new era of justice and re conciliation which the liberal legislation of an expiring Parliament had opened to the great body of the people. Among the signs of this new era may be noticed an event which took plaee at Manchester yesterday. How long is it since all the Tory jour nals end all the Tory men, whenever they wanted a moral brickbat to heave at a political adversary, called Lim a " member of the " Manchester school," as a certain class of religious controversialists call a man who differs from them an " atheist," and so dispose of his arguments and his reputation ? The Man chester school, in the Tory phraseological dic tionary, was synonymous with all that was un patriotic, subversive, destructive, and, in a word, un-English. Imagine a Tory nobleman, a Tory of the Tories, who could not consent to swallow the formulas of the " educated" section of Lis party, and to sacrifice his prin ciples to office, being invited to Manchester by the Chamber of Commerce in that city, and re ceiving, among other testimonies of cordial re spect, addresses of thanks from the Cotton Supply and the Cotton Spinners' Associa tions, acknowledging his generous and enlightened administration of Indian affairs ? Surely this is one of those incidents which to the future historian of this country will seem to mark a peaceful revolution in its political and social relations. It looks es if the barrier of strangeness and distrust between the hereditary territorial aristocracy and the democratic poten tates of an industrial epoch, were breaking down, and thet the great principles which have so long Leon the watchwords of an advanced party, were becoming the common property of public men of ull parties, orders, and degrees, with any preten sions to statesmanship. This emphatic recog nition of Lord HALIBBVItY'S Indian admi nistration by the representatives of Manchester interests shows that the mercantile spirit is not incompatible with a heurty admira tion for those chivalrous qua] i ties which Lord MALISIsiItY has displayed as a statesman in Lis policy, and in his resignation of office. Tho manner in which he speaks of the tremendous responsibilities of the government and people of England towards the people of India, the know ledge and judgment with which lie treats u .1..- . _ all the questions that concern their welfare end the duties of their rulers, would have been primed at twenty or ten years ago I y Tories and by many Whigs, as worthy only of the Manchester school. And yit there is nothing to be wondered at in this (It vtlorment of pure " uneducated " Toryism; that is. uneducated in the Disreclito sense. The Marquis of SALISBURY is a Conservative, it is flue, in a party sense, by family associations, by political connexion and by the circumstances ...Lich surrounded his entrant* into public I fe. He is Conservative, too, in that larger and truer et are in which the most thoughtful and oon scientious and intelligent Liberals would not reject the appellation. But he is a man of the present and not of the past ; he is a student., a thinker, a worker ; a Peer by accident, but by his brilliant gifts and his solid attainments a leader of that aristocracy of intellect and conscience which it is to be hoped will never be found wanting to the government of a self-ruling and self-respecting people. Lot the hereditary chamber be filled with men who, in Lord Haus- DUEY'S words, are "content to abide by the prig " ciple that any institution that could not hold its " own ground in free and fair discussion of its " merits, should cease to exist," and it need fear nothing from democratic legislation in England. TUE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY E' OUR CONTEMN /RA lilac (THIS DAY.) " UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES." I2EADRRB of oir STAFFORD xmORTIICOTR'S letter to Mr. Chunevotts in this morning's papers might well have been curious to learn whether it was Sir STAFFORD or Mr. OrAnarorts that had requested its publication. Mr. GLADSTONE had sail at Wigan that Sir STAFFORD NORTUOUTE refused to go to Parliament with a pledge to resist the dis establishment of the Irish Church, " under the •• circumstances." Sir STAFFORD writes to Mr. Gi_tr•srorce that tic said " as nearly as possible '• the contraly of that." What did ho say, thou, on his own showing? One of his constituents wrote to ask him to pledge hiteself " never, •• under any circumstances, to assent to the die " establishment of the Irish Church in Ireland." Sir STAFFORD replied that " thero was no subjeA upon which ho felt more strongly than this; but that Le objected to give a general pledge of " the kind demanded upon any subject whatever. • • Subsequently, when addressing his constituents " at Torrington, he was asked whether he would • • resist the disestablishiuent of the Irish • • Church. 110 ut once ituswerixl, I will.' " 7 Len, remembering his correspondent's letter, he " added something to this efiect :—• In saying that, " • I don't intend to pledge myself as to what I may " ' do at any time and under any eircumstan.2es. I " ' object to pledges of this kind altogether.' " ' You will observe,' he writes to Mr. OLADBTONE, " that, instead of refusing to pledo myself " " under the circumstance's' (by which I under " ' stand you to mean present circumstances), I " ' distinctly did 80 ; only reserving to my " ' self liberty of action hereinafter under " ' circumstances which I cannot foresee.' " We have followed Sir STAFFORD word for word, iu order to do full justice to his candour and simplicity. And the best of the joke is that it was Sir STAFFORD NORTUCOTE, and not Mr. GL.ID STONE, who sent the letter from which we have quoted to the newspapers. Much good may it do a confiding, not to say credulous, party OXFORD UNIVERSITY POLITICS. A GLANCE over the names on Sir ROUNDELL PALMER'S committee at Oxford indicates pretty clearly to any one acquainted with that Univer sity that whatever public or private worth, or personal influence, or rank, or titles may surround Mr. GATIIORNE HARDY, Sir ROCS DELL PALMER is evidently the accepted represen tative of Oxford brains. Looking down the list at random we find the Regius Professor of Divinity, the Rev. BENJAMIN JOWILT, the Marquis of SAL'S BL BY, Sir Joiis COLERIUOE, Dr. Hoox, Mr. CABO WELL, Professor MAX MULLER,Mr. MATTHEW AR NOLD, Sir ROBERT PUILLIMORE, Professor PLUMB TEE, Dean STANLEY, the heads of six Colleges and two halls, all the ablest Professors and tutors, and a host of country clergymen. Without dis reqN.Ct. to Mr. Bunny ' s respectable name, we may venture to say that the Liberal candidate's list has nothing to do with the " stupid party." Nor, indeed, is it limited to any one political or ecclesiastical section of opinion. High Church and low Church, Conserva tives and radicals are found side by side. It may be said, perhaps, that there is a shade of difference between Sir Rouxnxi.i. PALMER'S can didature and that of Mr. CilLsperortz ; that Sir Rotmu, PALMER differs in some degree from his chief on the Irish question. Enough for the moment to know that Sir ROUNDEL'. PALMER is certainly not a Disraelite, and that he is supported alike by some of the most illustrious of English Churchmen and by the whole Liberal party. UNDUE INFLUENCES. Tux " undue influences " brought to bear upon electors are numerous enough already, and any addition to their number is to be deprecated. We read in the Morning Herald that "a densely " crowded and most enthusiastic meeting at Rye " was addressed last evening by Mr. J. STEWART " HARDY, the Conservative candidate, and by his " father, Mr. GATIIORRE HARDY, the Home " Fecretary, who in a speech one hour and a " quarter in length, discussed the Reform " Bill and the question of Conservative " expenditure, and dwelt at length upon the " Irish Church question. In closing his speech the " right hon. gentleman said, amidst thunders of " applause, Be deterred by no intimidation, be " coiruptod by no inducement, but give your " ' votes honestly and conscientiously, so that " ' when you lay your heads on your dying pillow, " ' you may say, ' I did my duty at a great and " " vital crisis in the face of my country and my " " OOD:" " In other words take taro that in your last moments you can reflect on having voted for Mr. J. STEWART HARDY and Mr. Ditiallim. We hope, however, the " dying " pillow," will be kept out of these contests. Mr. HARDY, Jim., may be a worthy son and nephew, but we object to the death-bed being brought in as an election agent on his behalf. In the distribution of future rewards and punish ments, we trust that a vote against Mr. 114.antr will not be put down on the debit side of the account. THE inauguration of Dr. McColin as President of Princeton College, United finites, was to take place yesterday. Dr. McCom had notified the authorities of the College that the subject of his inaugural address would bo, " Discussions as to " Academic Teaching in Europe." M. EMU& °Lulu= is about to publish a volume in which, it is said, will appear, with the consent of the Emperor NAroxxoN, a letter written► to the author by his Majesty on Jan. 18, 1857, relating to the reforms proclaimed next day on the cele brated IDth. COILING ELYOI7OI/. The Tit? , fa Indict* n rumour ourrent yostord tint the eh-Minns wile to be postponed for a week. the (tact of which would be that the debate oa the aldreis could not be closed in enfiladed time to ooatrol the policy of the mining year; but our coatemporary only mile:with* ii Fort to deny its authenticity. It is, however, a painful initance of the suspir:on which attaches to the initiation i of the parent administration that such a belief s►ould fli.d Lurteney for an hour. There is, indeed, nothing bat tho well-understood agreement that the writs should issue on the IRh of neat Loth to prevent the elsetiosa Wag held before that time, but the same reason which prisvests • postponement prevents an anticipation of the day, and the ?ewes therefor* moats with confidence that the writs be hard on the day &beady axed upon. 'he lastly Newt insists that it Mr. Disraeli were to be guilty of the trick which this rumour imputes to him, he would clearly break • distinct essmement to whir* ke was • party. He is bound, so fez as words can bind him, to allow the new parikimant to be eanissonsd, and the thvisivu isms to be takes before Oluistmas. Here is but one man of high political position in Ragland w►om his countrymen would deem capable of each • coarse of conduct as that now suggested. But that man is the Trims Minister. There axe sot more than • dusen poLi. ticians who would be •coomplioss in such an sot of treachery; but those dome are Mr. Disraeli's colleagues. The or rays the country will ring with indignation if this sorry amaceuvre prove to be really to oontemplatioa, and there is time between to-day sad Saturday to evoke I,uch • declaration of public opinion as will make it per• fectly Lopatin, for Mr. Disraeli, bold and contriving as Le is, to think of making his colloaguits accomplices in the design which is attributed to him. ALICTION. Looking at the election from • university stan I point, without icgaid to party interests, the 'braid maintains that it would be the greatest, of all errors were Oxford to fawn • man whose ieputation and political connections, Irks those of Sir Roundel! Palmer, would seem to oast • doubt taxon her fidelity to these vital principles, from whose success it might be concluded that she was net wholly averts to the disentabliatiment of the national church, and the secularisation o her own educational system. b.-NOUSE YINAKCING IR DRUMM. The Zit"e gives a succinct account of the transactions alleged, "but not yet proved," to have occurred between en Luglich company represented by Mr. Frederick Doul ton, M.l'. for Lambeth, and Mr. Albert Grant, on the one part, and the corporation of Brut,*la on the other. In 18% Mr. Doulton proposed, in conjunction with certain colleagues, to undertake certain public works far the city of Murals, including the drainage of the city, the purifi cation of the river Benne, and the construction of modern lodging L0u.... Mr. Doulton obtained from the city authorities the privilege of conducting the undertaking, aid of realising the legitimate profit/ to be derived from co extensive an enterprise. In this capacity of 6,44 . 41. skerarre Le entered into negotiations with certain con factors for the actual execution of the works in con templation, and it is alleged that, whereas these con tractors rea.ly undertook the work for • sum of 498,000/., Mr. Doulton represented the agrooment as being for (P 8,000!., leaving a difference of 100,0001. to be appropriated by himself and others. Our centemporary, however, understands, from the ex planation given by Mr. Doulton on the subject, that the excess of one contract above the other represents the ex penses incurred in the original acquiiitisn of the ;conces sion itself, and that these preliminary costs, like all other crests, were charged by Mr. Doulton upon the general indeutakiug. The Times dues not prejudge the cue by commenting upon its general featured so far as they have already been made known, but con fine* its strictures to that portion of the evidenee relating to the expenditure for procuring the support of the Belgian press. It, mays the Tints, the sum of 100,0001. was actually disbursed in securing a favourableacceptance for the Brussels scheme, it may be admitted that the share obtained by the press-1,600/.—waa not a large one; but in the interests of a profession which ought to be beyond suspicion as well as stain, our contemporary expresses • decided condemnation of even that degree of venality which the Belgian journalista have not denied. CAIrDIDATES /OS TWA SAIL A correspondent of the Daily News has made a oomplaint involving a serious charge against the Honourable Society of Lincoln's inn. Some years ago he joined the society, with the •iew of being called to the bar, but circumstances lid him to change his mind and abandon the pro ject. He. therefore, ceased to go through the appointed process, but ho is, nevertheless, yearly sum moned by the steward of Lincoln's-inn to pay the sum of f..t. 7s. 4d.. although he never eats the society's dinner*, enters its chapel, or makes use of its splendid library. Tho alternative consists in paying a heavy fine, in addition to • year's fee, for the purpose of terminating all connexion with the Inn. The Daily Neer* condemns this practice as absurd and indefensible, and contends that it the benchers of Lincoln's-inn are wise they will arrange to let its cor respondent and others in a like position go is peace. Oar contemporary, however, does not anticipate that they will show themselves wise in time, for the prejudices of men occupying their positions are strongly opposed to altering ancient Customs, even though the change lead to the ex tinction of a long-standing abuse.

The Queen of Holland and suite visited Brixham on Sunday afternoon. Her Majesty alighted at the quay, and walked to the end to survey the memorial tablet ridsod in honour of the landing of the Princo of Orange.

We (Port) understand the marriage of the Earl of Ellearner° and Lady Katherine Phipps will take place in the course of the ensuing month. The Lord Chancellor will receive the judges, Queen's counsel, &c., at his lordship's residence, No. 5, Cromwell-houses, on Monday, the 2nd of Nov. (the first day of Michaelmas Term), at 12 o'clock. The Bishop of Lichfield, when on his way lately to his diocese of Auckland, in the local company's steamer Taranaki, wee wrecked. Soon after enter ing Queen Charlottes Bound the steamer struck on a rock, and began to make water rapidly. The boats were got out, the passengers were landed on the nearest shore and the mails also, while nearly all the baggage was obliged to be abandoned. With his characteristic energy the bishop, accompanied by his son and Lord Burghley, took one of the boats to sound for a shoal known to be close by, but the crew, being unable through the strength of the tide to tow the vessel to it, the Taranaki drifted further up ►nd sank in 10 fathoms, with little hope of raising her. A large number of the passengers first landed, including most of the ladies and children, wore obliged to remain on the side of the steep mountainous banks of the sound all night, under the commissariat charge of the bishop ; others were fortunate in being able to got to one of the two or three scattered houses belong ing to the settlers there, it being 20 miles to Piston by water, and next to impossible to reach that town by land. A steamer was sent to their help next morning from Wellington on the disaster being telegraphed. Lord Mayo, the new Governoi-deneral of India, proceeded to Shoeburyneve yesterday to witness a trial of the Monads& gun-carriage on the protected harbetto systme, the object of the visit being to see how the prin ciple ran be applied to the coast defences of India.

ATTEMPT TO RECAPTURE THE CHATHAM ISLAND PRISONNB& Intelligence was brought by a recent wail from New Zealand that the native prisoners at tho Chatham Islands had made their escape in a vessel, and landed at Poverty Bay. By &dries' received this morning we learn that the provincial govern =nt determined to pursue them, and two ex peditions were seat after the escaped prisoners, who had gone into the interior ; but it appears that both expeditions were disastrously driven Lack. The first engagement took place on the Bth of August. On that date Liontenant-Colonel Whitmore's force was pressing forward to get at the enemy, when it was led into an ambuscade, and had to beat a hasty retreat, leaving the dead upon the ground. The rebels held a good position, and the British loss was severe. The following is a list of killed and wounded : Killed.—Captain Davis Canning. shot through the heart; Captain Carr, unknown where • Patrick Condon, 'hot through the had ; William Coates , shot through the head ; one friendly native. Wounded.—Patrick Bums, shot through the body (since dead); James Beattie, shot in the thigh; George McKay (N.Y.), &hot in the shoulder; Captain Tuke, shot in the ere ; Juba Lewis, Mot in the thigh (slight) ; one friendly native. On the enemy's side about twelve men were seen to fall. The wounded men were taken to Clyde, and it would seem that the whole force had a very hard time of it, from constant marching and the inclemency of the weather. A local cor respondent gives the following details of the rngagement: Pncouraged by the freshness of the trail, Colonel Whit more In►t tight of every other consideration in the hope of getting up with the enemy. 11l supplied with stores, absolutely ignorant of whither be was going, undervalu ing the skill and courage of the enemy, disdainful of the most ordinary precautions, he pushed recklessly on. rargt d and half-starved as the men were, they renewed their vigour upon sight of the camp fires in the Ituaki Teri. A few of their number worn seen by our fore", scattered about the Wand, and a rapid advance was made to attack them. As our people neared, they commenced firing—not with much vigour at first, but rapidly in creasing in power as their force collected. Our men h►d to cross the liver bed in the open, azposed to this treat :6,lA, and replying with what effect they could. As our patty chew into the western bank, the enemy mointed the Itakaiwhaia hill, outflanking and pouring a deadly Are into our people. Captain Carr fell ; Mr. Davis Can ning, two troopers named Patrick Condon and William Coates, and • friendly native Rehire., wore shot dad. Sig others wounded, amongst them Captain Arthur Tube, who was abet through the arm—the bullet glancing off • rock and inflicting a baleful bruised flesh wound, not injuring the bone. Anothsr bullet passed through his clothes. Sharp work this. Poor Canning handed his carbine to Barney Reed. as he fell pierced by two bullets. Captain Carr's weapons and haversack, with his body, became the pewession of the enemy. Mr. Withers, of the constabulary, behaved with great gallantry, assisting in carrying off the wounded ; indeed all behaved well, arid the pity is that their courage should have been so thrown away. The papers laid on the House of Represents fives table give the following curious particulars in reference to the escape of these prisoners : The plans were laid with such ;kill that Captain Thomas, according to the report., could hardly have offered anything like effectual resistance. Instead of 31 stand of arms them were 49 stand of arms taken away, and CifiW. In cash, and as much flour, sugar, and tobacco, as they close to remove from the " Rifleman." Ilosides there they robbed all tho house, on the beach with the exception of that of one lady who hid a bag of sovereigns (3001.) in a tea-kettle, while boiling over the fire. The number of priaontrs eecaped were 163 luau, 61 women, and 71 children, being 298 souls. The quantity of am munition taken was 4,564 rounds. Three pounds of powder was taken from private stone. GALLANT CAPTURE OF A PAIL A messenger arrived at Wellington on the 24th August with the intelligence that the pah of Te- Ngutu-o-te-Manu had been captured on Friday, the 21st. The following are the particulars: 270 men, in two divisions, under the command of C.A. McDonnell, started for the pals at 7 a.m. Major Von Tempoky lcd the armed constabulary and Taranaki volunteers. Buck's and Page's companies composed the attacking force. There were no native allies engaged. The pale was reached at 10a.m., the force thus taking only three hours to thread their way through the bush from Waihi, the base of operations, a distance of 12 mike. Maori scouts were on the alert, and prepara tions had been made to give our forces • warm reception. When within twenty paces of the parapet, our troops poured in a galling firs, and then rushed helter-skelter for the pals, escaladed the breastwork, and gained a footing inside—one-half fairly establishing themselves within the defences in a few minutes. The first man killed was Wallace, who was shot through the head, and died on the spot. The Maori's fought bravely, but could not stand against our men, who, armed with tomahawks, re volvers, and long knives, made short work of it. The whole attack lasted only twenty minidisk and in one hour from its commencement not • vestige of the pah could be seen. The Msories effected a good retreat, after nine of them had fallen, and were able to carry oft their wounded. Three of our men were killed and eight wounded—one of whom, H. (leery, has since died. The killed are R. Wallace, Kerr, Mackay. They were attended by Dr. Walker on the field. At half-past 11 Colonel McDonnell commenced to march back, when he found the enemy had concentrated on his rear, and were keeping up a desultory fire. The fire was returned, and ultimately the Maoris, retreated and allowed our troops to retire without further molestation. McDonnell arrived at Fates at midnight. The behaviour of the force, both offi cers and men, was excellent. DISASTROUS REPULSE OF THE FORCE. A correspondent of the Times, writing from Wel lington on the 9th ult., gives a brief accomit of another attack which was made on the natives of the west coast on the 7th Eleptember: How the affair came ►bout (be says) we know not, except that our forces appear to have been in search of the rebels in the neighbourhood of the lately destroyed pah of Ngutu-o-to-Menu. The natives ware quite prepared this tame to receive us, and not only lined their rifle-pits, but had perched themselves on the tops of trees, whence they could take deadly aim. The tire was returned, and although our officers fell one after another, yet a good and orderly retreat was effected. Among the 14 killed were the gallant Major Voa Teospelty, Captains Buck and Palmer, and Lieutenants Hastings and Bunter. The number of wounded is not stated, but Lieutenant Rowan is reported to be so dangerously. Twenty-seven of the rebels were killed, wounded uu known. Preparations are being made for mother attack on them, and unless this disaster it speedily wiped out by a signal success, it will be diffioalt to foresee the termina tion of a struggle in which a mere handful of rebels are acquiring so much presto's's in the eyes of surrounding tribes.
