There is a little affair to be decided to-day in North Leicestershire, where three Conservatives are contending for two seat. ; but, with this exception, all the elections have taken place, and the complexion and character of the new House of Commons is fixed. Saturday was again a day of contests, but as one or two re turns from Irish counties are delayed, the balance of victory cannot be stated with precision. the Liberals have pined in South Derbyahire, where Mr. Cotvima, their second candidate, has gained the seat lately held by Mr. MUNDY. In North Hants, Cork, Leitrim, Meath, and Antrim, the changes that have taken place are merely per sonal, and leave the political character of the representation unaffected. In West Norfolk, however, the Liberals have suffered a loss, Mr. Da GREY having won the seat of Mr. Beane- TON GURDON. In King's County another Liberal seat has also been lost. As the elections have proceeded, we have published day by day the names of the constituencies in which either party has gained or lost, and have kept the schedule before the public eye, in order that the basis of the Liberal claim to victory might be obvious to criticism. Taking all the elections in England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, we cannot claim now less than a gain of twenty-five sesta to the Liberal cause as a result of the general election. When the tangible facts are of so pleasing a character, we may gladly leave Mr. DISRAELI and his followers to revel in ima ginary successes and dreams of victories of which the most that is hoped is that they may replace the Opposition in its former impotence. ,TH' cl aw requirement of the Stock Ex ' rig / would he completely unmarke ilijiot/ ficial result would be that the 'item , with much greater boldness do' Repeatedly, when irregularities have been proved . against the promoters of new schemes, the Com mittee have signified their sense of them by re fOldPir thelprivilege of quotation in the official list --* mere half measure, which inflicts Rids punishment upon the guilty parties, the attainment of whose main objects is not at all interfered with. It is to be apprehended that in not • few concerns, where the justice of the case would have dictated a complete refusal of a settling day, the Committee have forborne to adopt that extreme yet salutary stepout of consideration for the innooentsubscrillers who might be left with unmarketable securi ties, yet bound to carry out their contract with the projectors. On more than one occasion, when the question of the appointment of a settling day has been trembling in the balance in the Stook Ex change Committee-room, it is notorious that large amounts of the subscribers' money have been actually paid away and irrecoverable, so that an adverse decision by the Com mittee would have simply let the guilty go free and inflicted severe and unmerited punishment upon the deceived shareholders. By the plan we propose, every arrangement in connexion with the launching of a public company would be ' strictly dependent upon the regularization of the whole affair by the stamp of the Stock Exchange Committee, the body best qualified to estimate and pronounce upon the merits of the cane. The consciousness that their project must live or die according as the Committee decided would render the directors and promoters of public companies far more careful as to the means they adopted for carrying out their plans. There would be fewer attempts to force shares down the throat of a reluctant public by the temptation of fictitious premiums ; and the barefaced jugglery wbi3h is involved in discrepancies between the articles of association and the prospectus would no longer be resorted to, simply because its inevitable detection would entail a summary breaking up of the whole project. It seems to us, we repeat, that the adoption of such a measure ss that pro posed ought logically to precede any other attempts to remedy the abuses complained of. The Com mittee might then, with full confidence in their position, proceed to other measures, one of which might be an enactment that • certain pro portion of the capital of a new project should be bond fide subscribed for by the public to en title it to a settlement. At present the only stipulation made by the rules of the Stock Exchange refers to the privilege of official quotation, and the want of • similar provision as regards the settlement itself has opened the door to numerous abuses. When • new company issues its prospectus it does so with a view to obtaining a certain amount of capital, and if that capital is not obtained, or at least an adequate proportion of it, it seems clear that, in simple justice to the subscribers, the project should be abandoned, the capital being insufficient to carry out the purposes for which it was formed. However, the Stock Exchange Committee ought to be put in the best position for deciding in each case, without bias or hesitation, whether the sub scriptions and allotment are of such a nature as to hold out • reasonable prospect of a successful pro secution of the company's objects. We trust that, in the interest alike of the public, of their own body, and of that spirit of joint-stock enterprise from which such great results are justly expected in the future, the Stock Exchange Committee will without delay givo their best consideration to the means of remedying • system which threatens, if left unchecked, to demoralise the financial commu nity, and to destroy one of the most powerful in struments of our progress. TRADE AND FINANCE. Too often we see what is good in itself abused and rendered the instrument of evil. We have never disguised our belief that the principle of joint-stock association, especially with the aid of limited liability, is destined to prove one of the most powerful levers of commercial progress. We hold that this principle is the only one calculated to give to credit the utmost power of which it is capable ; and for instances of the vastness of that power we have only to look to our railways, our banks, our docks, our ocean steam lines, and the other great works which abound on every aide. In the present day joint-stock association is being organised to a pitch that could not have been dreamt of only a few years ago, and there are abundant indications that its progress will be still more rapid in the future, provided only that the abuses which are now rising to • perilous height be summarily corrected. Our new joint stock enterprise presents far too many corrupt features. In numerous cases prospectuses, instead of reflecting faithfully the provisions of the articles of association, seem to be constructed with the express design of misleading the public. Essential provisions, referring to directors' or vendors' emoluments, are secretly stowed away in the ar ticles of association, copies of which are often diffi cult to obtain, or are only open to inspection in places inconvenient of access. If prospectuses, which ought to be true and faithful contracts be tween the directors or promoters and the sub scribers, are thus to be made mere traps and snares for the unwary, it is easy to see that one of two things must happen before long—either • disgusted public will wash their hands of new joint stock enterprise altogether, or, as a much needed warning, the strong arm of the law will be invoked and brought down with crushing weight upon some CABIN= COUNCIL. .1313111:1010Diell were issued a few days ago for • Cabinet Conseil this afternoon at the of the wrung-doers.

The municipal elections throughout France will be brought to a does this evening. Of armee no results are yet known. I have little doubt that the liberal lists will pass in very many places ; but still the immense majority of the municipal oouncillors will be government men. I have reason to think it is I intended, if what is called at the Tuileries the "ex periment" of granting liberty in the municipal elections shall be considered successful, that a new law on the press will soften to a considerable ex tent the rigours of 1852. The Emperor, there can can be no doubt, longs to be at the head of a liberal government ; only his motto, naturally enough, is "I must govern, liberally if I can, but govern." The opposition journals„ which look with jealousy upon the attentions now lavished by the Emperor upon Abd-el-Kader, say that the present opportunity has been chosen for erecting a monu ment by subscription to the memory of the French prisoners whose throats were cut by him at the Marabout of Sidi Brahim. The Avenir National says : . Certain profound politicians profess to see in the pro- jetted meeting of the French and English diets at Cher bourg, a warning to America not to attack either of three powers. These writers see a great deal too far. America has no thought of threatening Frame or England ; neither have France and England any ides of silty a lesson to America. An act of courtesy and fraternity between two asighbonriog sod friendly poware does not call for any such mysterious comments. The Constitutionnel relates that a priest went into a restaurant in the Palais Royal on Friday and made a good dinner. He paid his bill and went away, but a quarter of an hour afterwards came back, and after obtaining permission from the lady president of the counter made a speech to the company, informing them that he had most unfor tunately forgotten all about its being Friday, and eaten meat on a day not allowed by the church ; and that having thus unwittingly given occasion for scandal he thought it necessary to make a public expiation.

The Great Eastern is off the south•weat end of the island, about twenty miles distant. She has just commenced her great work by picking up the shore end, and is beginning to make the splice. Signals have been sent through the shore end that all is well. The weather is very fine and calm. The following telegrams have been reoeived by Renter's Telegram Company (Limited) from Mr. A. IL Glass, managing director of the Telegraph Con struction and Maintenance Company (Limited) : VALENTIA, JULY 22. The shore end of the cable was landed this morning successfully, the weather being beautiful. Connexions were made with the instrument-room at 12-45 p.m. Greenwich time, in the presence of a large concourse of people. The Knight of Kerry, in a few appropriate ob servations, invoked success upon the undertaking, and in conclusion called upon Sir Robert Peel, who delivered an admirable address. Three cheers were given for her Majesty the Queen, and also for the President of the United States. Cheers were likewise given for Mr. A. R. Glass and Captain White, of the coastguard, who has rendered most valuable assistance. VALENTLi, JULY 23, BYO:NINO.

The following official telegram bas been received at the Foreign-office yesterday : ALEXANDRIA, JULY 22. The mortality in Alexandria from cholera this day was eight. In Cairo the disease is fast sub siding. A long letter addressed by Mr. Inspector Whicher, the detective magsged in the Road murder ease, to Mr. Hainicock, the chief superintendent of the Bristol police, sod formerly an officier of the A division of the metropolitan force, is published by the Time,. it is dated November 23, 1860, and, reed by the light of subsequent events, strongly earroberates the theory which was at filet farmed by the inspector. "In my °pima," wrote the in spector, "if there ever was one man more to be pitied, or who has beau more calumniated than another, that US' fortunate man is Mr. Kent. It was bed enough to have his darling child cruelly murdered ; but to be branded as the murderer is far worse ; and, according to the present state of public opinion he will las so brande 1 to the day of his death unless a confes sion is made by theeperson who I firmly believe committed the deed. I have little doubt but that that coalmine would have been made if Miss Clonstenee had been re manded for another week. Now, my opinion is, is the first place, that the feet of there being two families, or rather a stepmother and a family by that stepmother, wee the inland cause of the murder, and that the motive wee Jealousy towards the children by the second marriage. The deceased was the favourite child, and spite towards the paeans, the mother in particular, I believe to have been the actuating motive of Constanee Rent."
