ALTIIOrGII we believe that the humorous device I writing an address for a candidate and publishing it in the Time, was a stroke of policy for which Yr. T.orrrs LEIGH Pamannrox had no precedent, are must regret that there are very few tricks kJ( d considered too dirty for candidates or their agents to employ during the progress of elections. To say nothing now of bribery, flare is in Englund an almost universal custom by which the most ruffianly personalities are tolerated between the rivals, fur borough seats especially, and we have already been made aware that the fashion has been in no way'mitigated. The Squib is generally manufactured by a local publi‘ain ur a third-rate solicitor who is taken en the recruiting staff of the conducting agent, the: purpose of stopping his mouth. }:yen tnniesmen are sometimes gifted with a pecu liar knack of rhyming in those noisome eoupbcs, Sr'• eagerly snatched up and their tilents re tained, in order to p•. it one candidate or en.(ther with tI sir i 1 its rat•• abuse. L• 4 to a dialogue betw , -en the respective 1 sec. rs en a drum and a triangle, as to which in • nt was • hi .144 1.. 111..4 t tv,lit regarded as a • • 1.- titutic,nal for..,e, The drum that he Lad tt.-n sav , (l an ele-tion IT his performance, t):.• triangle x. ta.hernently contended fur impressionable loquenee of his instrument. t(marks that the empty drum as well as Ile: jingling triangle had so many represent.itives in the house that they could fairly divide the honours between them. Without sharing in this eyuieism, we 1•4111k4S it is lint encouraging to observe the manner in which we still con- Ghee to choose members of parliament. It would be more respectable, at any rate, to have been helped by the aid of a brass band into a seat. than to have the way cleared to it by the explosion of Squibs. which would be inure fittingly described by the name which the Chinese give to those jars of mephitic stuff used by them in warfare. Evening after even ing these Squibs are dischargfal into the air by the hoarse ballad singer. He roars the versus with the gusto which a blackguard feels when he gets a chance of bespattering his betters with impunity, and the crowd applaud the enter tainment prepared for them by the gentleman who seeks their support, and thus appeals to their sense of honour. Fur we cannot put the shame of this practice on the composer of the Squib. He is egged on to it, or paid for it by the principals, by the London agent who comes down to assist the wire puller of the district, or by the candidate himself. We admit that these scandalous produc tions would never see the light on other occasions, and that those engaged in the concoction of them would shrink from the brutalities they patronise at calmer moments, but why should they be inci dental to, and characteristic of, English and Irish elections In a caricature history lately published we read of the personalities indulged in during the Georgian era, and, bad as the practices are, we have no &citation in saying that the press of more than one provincial CATNACH will turn out within the neat month letter-press abominations as discre ditable as the caricatures of the period referred to in Mr. WRIGHT'S work. We do not think so badly of the non-electore as to inniene that they require their worst instincts to be tickled in order to win cheers from them. Anyone who has seen an English crowd on a holiday—take the Crystal Palace gatherings for example—will perceive that their conduct is in every respect goodhumoured and praiseworthy. We do not believe that the mere fact of an election alters these men and women so completely, but we can understand that when the ordinary amenities are disregarded by those to whom they look up, then they run thoughtlessly enough into riot and mischief. In Manchester and Leeds the worirpeople often indulge in picnics and holidays, and no one complains of their behaviour; yet during contented elections those towns are often the scene of desperate confusion and disturb ance. The Squibs have a groat deal to answer for. They not only provoke the angriest retorts, but us they exhaust vituperation they have nothing in reserve exislit sh.s,r violence•. Hence the atones or the dead eats and rotten eggs. In these towns, and in every town, there is, of course, an element of roughs, and the Squibs are as war ories and signals to them. We are not premature in calling attention to this vicious system. The questions on which candidates are taking their stand are, as we know, of a vexed and heating chaise tiw. Let them instruct their agents to work things as smoothly as possible, and not to employ the Squib-maker to am his unplessaat wares in their interest& The responsibility lies with them. The demoralising consequences of the Squib go fur ther than it may be in their power to shock. Thcre is really no apology or palliative for the malicious ribaldry of distiohs loaded with slang and falsehoods. The proverb, that "all is fair in love, war, and eleotioneering," was, we have little doubt, originally invented by the gutter-envoy of a place-hunting There aro foul things in war, and in love, but there aro fen► fouler things than an election Squib done according to the be permitted in its composi tion. An abusive Squib real) , plumbs the depths of degradation to which a human creature can be got to descend for hire, and surely it is not for English gentlemen who we trust will be found in the New House, as well as the " young lords " and elderly soap boilers ;"—surely it is not for them to make experiments in this direction which would tend to a profound cynicism not only in Politics but in every social relation of life.

They dispensed with all charge, whether in the transport of pee eons by train or of messages by telegraph, and all they did was done not only with goodwill and courtesy, but with genuine sympathy.—The ease of the unfortunate stoker, Holmes, who was killed at his poet seems to have been overlooked, although the eireumstanees attendant upon the death of guard and stoker were Umtata, and as regards their respective families the difference is only OM of degree. Holmes has lett a wife and two children totally unprovidod for, his wages being only He. a week, and a stoker's perqUeites being simply nil. A suggestion by the Tim". of some aggrieved hidalgo demanding an explanation from Mr. Roebuck of the expression "dumbfounded Speniard," reminds • cot , respondent of our contemporary of a correspondence ex changed in a similar case between the American orator Patrick Henry and • gentleman belonging to the bucaniering classes of society. The latter addressees Mr. Henry as follows :—"Sir,-- I understand that you have called me a bobtail politician. I wish to know if this be true, and, it true, your meaning." Mr. Henry re- Sir,—l have no recollection of ever calling you a bobtail jolitician, and, therefore, end it impossible to state now what I could have meant by such an exprea. lion. If you will have the kindness to write again and inform me what you think I meant by it, I will let you know by return mail whether your suppositions are cor rect." The above answer clueed the correspondence and commended to Mr. Roebuck, should he ever dud him self in • dumbfounded condition on being called to account by some peppery Don. _ An announcement was issued on Wednesday morning by the WNW of the Lyceum Theatre, stating that daring the cab strike ladies and gentlemen would not be expected to visit the theatre in " full dress."

The indescribable things which oar foromothers oontrived to weary to the tope of their heads might, it observes, in deed, raise a question ; bet as to the airy trifles worn in modern times, it really can be of no moment whether they 14118 011 or off.

The Tempe of to-day, referring to the am"- ready diplomatic" article in the Dasta of yester day, • brief mudyais of which appeared in lest ening's Rzyrese. observes that, by a @inviter coincidence, the Nora Nast Ciserespeedenes has a oommunication from Berlin in which it is stated that there is a powerful party in Prussia in favour of a war with Prance, and that, contrary to the general impression, Count Bismarck belongs to the war pasty. Count Bismarck, it is said, is of *pinion, not only that war is ine►iteble, but *stills neces sary in the interests of Prussia.

The Emperor is expected to arrive at Fontaine bleau from the Chalons camp this evening. Ile will not, however, proceed at ones, to Biarritz, ea was announoed. Lut will remain till Saturday, when a ministerial council has boon summoned. The Ethiernent says he will not go to Biarritz at all, but will remain either in Paris or St. Cloud, while the Empress and Prince Imperial go to the Pyrenean watering-place. There is, however, no confirmation of this nows. A congress of Freemasons is to be held at Havre on tho lath and 19th Beptomber, at which the principal question for discussion will be, "By what 1114 . U118 can the Freemasons oppose the idea of war, which is the negation of human frater nity ?" At the Bourse great efforts were made, and with RAM' success for a time, to react against the great fell of Monday ; the Rants was quoted at one moment at 70fr.

A THEATRICAL GRIEVANCE. WHITERR upon theatrical matters are very fond of laughing at the way in which the performs:ions at the music-halls are interrupted by eating, drinking, and the touting of waiters; but the theatres have troubles onnneeted with " refresh " newts" which are all the more intolerable boeauso they yield no profit. Theme generally reach their greatest height in the autumn, when nuts are plentiful and cheap, and the occupants of the galleries are not to he weaned from an indulgence in their appetites by the intellectual attractions of the aensational drama. Heroes and heroines - leading" ladies and gentlemen who play senti mental parts—have a particular horror of this reason, for in spite of the "notices' prominently posted in all theatres, the "cracking of nuts" will interfere with the effect of the most tender passages of dialogue and the most thrilling situa tions. Actors of a very sensitive disposition, whose command of money is groat, and who are in the habit of looking after their own in terests in the " front of the house." hare been known to buy up all the nuts expo;i4 for sale outside the theatre in which they were acting to rave tluniselves from this annoyance. It is not only in the eo-culled minor or local theatres that nut-cracking in popular ; the performances at some of the west-end houses are exposed to this running litiximpaniment of unauthorised music. The con stable of the theatre is powerless to stop it, unless he is aided by a dramatist of all-powerful genius. Tnis long stay of the Queen of Parssts with her son-in-law, the Grand Duke of attisr, in the Isle of Meinau, has been the subject of remark in Germany ; and now the report is revived that the Baden Government intend to formally demand the admission of the duchy into the Northern Confederation. The French journals which are perpetually declaring that Prussia shall not be allowed to absorb the Southern German States, are asked, with mock deference, if the pro hibition is 60 absolute as to apply to the case of a State which seeks spontaneously to cuter the Northern Confederation OUR CONTEMPORARIES.

She may return to Switzerland another year. 11.1. sub j. 0N who feel an intense and inexhaustible curiosity t) know or imagine how anything strikes the eye of royalty, will ammo themselves for some time in speculating whether Scotland holds her own against Switzerland, whether outline and colour tell against bulk, or whether eternal snow Las the same faaeivatiun fur sovereigns as fur citizens, The nody News observes that the people will ho glad to Ke the Queen in her former place as the active bead of the purest Court which this country has over known, but they will not sanction any intrusion on the more private discharge of her political duties should that privacy be her choice. 'The loyalty of the Pnglieli people deka not depend on show and pageant, but on a deep persuasion that the good order of the state is protected by the throne. Their sympathy with the Queen has much of the cha racter of personal affection, and they welcome her return as that of tame near tautly% of their own. TIE PUBLIC EXTENDIIT Ht. The TetegropA urges the fact that in the course of five years, or rather th rough tho operation of five liberal budgets, taxes were remitted to the amount of 13,680,0001., and yet, within the same five years, occurred such an annual surplus that 12,860,0001. was struck off the national debt. On the other side, what do we find P The tory govern. ment, succeeding to power In 1966, at once began to in utile* the expenditure, and continued the process during the following year, until the budget for 1868 showed an estimated disbursement of 3,190,00 W. over that of 1865. In other words, the careful savings of four years had been dissipated in little more than two. Even that, how ever, is not the worst. Much of the additional outlay represents the amount by which the expenditure of each year exceeded the estimate. The real truth is, that even Mr. Gladatone's reduced estimates were too high; and if be had followed the advice of so competent an au thority a/Oho late Mr. Cobden, he would have summarily struck millions off the total for which he asked, and left the departments to get on as best they could with the redwood amount THE BRITISH DEANA. The Ste/ contends that traders on sensation and realism have reduced the British drama ton lamentable depth of degradation Mr. Boucicault, the arch-offender, in writing down for the public taste has founded a school of disciples who imitate his tendencies to realism without powering any of the art which enables theis great mantes to throw a glamour over it, and whom productions, in consequence, are bald and hideous in the extreme. Real Hansom cabs and real potato-cane, real fire-enginee and reel horses, views of Blacktriars-bridge by moonlight, Charing-cross in the snow, and Waterloo-bridge with a real toll-taker exacting real halfpence, have climaxed in an se-nearly-that-as-possible railway train, filled with real passengers reading real evening papers, These realistic effects carried out, it must be allowed, with con summate skill and thorough knowledge of this require ments of the stage, by men who years ago won their spars in a nobler cause, act as the sweetmeat for the sake of which the gullible British public swallows a woe ammo- Vag dramatis soacootion. nil MINCH Though war would be for Prance a game of the most deeperate lumen* still, says the ?Tessa, there would be nothing in war Mien half eo Wondrous as the armed peace which the Emperor seems to have imposed ma a normal condition on hie own empire and all other European states. The first steps taken by Prussia in the way of disarms mud ate inaiguillcant, aml by no means irrevocable, measures. Still they constitute a move in the right ilinxtiou, and it seems incredible that France should hesitate in meeting it half way. It seems incredible that France should not see iu the robe! accruing to the finances of her rival, even from the tam• PRUNSTA AND SAXONY. After the great military review which took place at Dresden, the King of Maxony conferred on the King of Prussia the command of the 2nd it.•gi me of Grenadiers. King William, placing him self at the head of the regiment, thanked the Kiii;; of Saxony, and in his character of generalissimo of the troops of the Confederation of the North, exi.reFsill his satisfaction at the military• be of the Saxon corps d'arne'r. THE NAVIGATION OF THE RHINE. The negotiations for the navigation of the Rhino have been broken off. The cause of their failure Las been the ivfusal of Holland to agree to the following claws, :—" The Dutch government will take care that the navigation is not impeded on the rivers, lit mann, and canals which connect the Rhine with tho high was, by Dordrecht, Rotter dam, and Helvoctsluys." The objection taken by the Dutch government was that, by accepting this duty, they would give the riverain powers a pre text for interfering. (rewires astrrea's AGENCY.) FRANCE. PARIS, Sewn 11. The Moniteur of this morning contains so ac count of the review of the troupe in the Camp of Chalons held by the Emperor yes'eirday. Tie Majesty impressed to General Lebcouf his satisfac tion at the precision with which the evolutions of the troops had been executed. The Mouittur in its bulletin also says that the• resignation of Signor Cadorna and his temporary replacement by Signor Cantelli, Minister of Pub lic Works, do not indicate any notablo change in the interior pulley of the Italian cabinet. The announcement of the departure of the Em peror yeAerday for Fontainebleau was premature. The Menifeur says :—" His Majesty will only leave the Camp of Chalons to-day."
