They even, like the Persian Kings of old, take off their own crown, seat the Democrats on their own horse, and dub them Con servativVs. What has brought about this new affection 7 MI are the Times and the Tories, all at once, so fn lorre with the party which is most rabid in America for the Ballot, Universal Suffrage, State Rights,—ia short for referring everything, even the elections of the Judges, to the decision of the whole people by secret voting, if they care to keep it secret. We are told that the Ballot and Universal Suffrage are the mothers of all evils; that eminent and eloquent politician Alderman ROSE, now Lord Mayor of London and candidate for Southampton, asstv•es us that " the Ballot is the most flagrant iniquity and pest known to society ;" the Times has generally found it toe irritating a topic to write oa with calmness, and yet we are now told that the pa:ty which owes its rinciples to SEFFERSON himself, and origin and p oss ible from the sobriety whiet deviates a s far as p am ilton, is the American of Washingt on and H Conservative party ! Englishmen ought well to understand the real character and objects of these Democrats, these Conservative advocates of the most unbridled popular Government, we might almost say have of administration itself , by the people. What Their their antecedents be en ? streng th has been in the North, for in the South, where a whit e aristocracy of 300,000 alaveholders hold all power in their hands, universal suffrage is hardly known. In the North they have long been in Irarions forms the dominant party. By union with them, though they hated their principles, the slaveholders have always secured the upper hand in the Government till the election of BITCHANAN. And hence it has been the Democrats who, with the slaveholders, have been responvible for all the public acts by which England h as been insulted , and all the anti-English demean our of the successive Administrations. In New York City, and other plat es where Democracy is most Powerful, the Irish patriots who cannot carry out their treason to their satisfection in their native I _ 4o , to a man vote with the Democratic party. uurdinEti WISEMAN'S Hyde-park lambs—their fellows in New York we mean—are the strength of Democracy there. And this is the party which has undoubtedly triumphed at the late elections. The caines of its success against the Republican party, w hi ch co and educated clashes the whole to the middle in England, are easier to trac e than it is to pre dict the ultimate result. The failure o f LINCOLN'. 1". S Ad mi . ais tration is doubtless a chief ca use. Had the war bee n the Democratic part o:anaged prosperously w°l/1414 %ve been l es s against the party whos e 'E'ves;lent had suc ceeded. We all know h ow a ---ss can turn M Minister in England out of offic e, whil e mini e. great war is yet raging. Is America a Minister cannot be remo i ß d by the people or by the cong eara . they ca n only do w hat the y have now done e, , the' party opposed to hi m , and their vo tes to the so warn hi m that unles s ' he reverse his policy, wh en t h e Pr yeaa's o f dictatorship are s ident , s four expired, he mus t q uit together. The Pre and the P resident st but not very capable, silent is belie ved to be honc his Ministers sharp fellows, bi,: t not sharp enough The Democratic t o match DAVIS and his Cabinet. succ ess is, therefo re, a vote that the war Las been ir-conducted, and that the people demand some d i better results. 'There must also be gre at dissatisfaction w ith the • corru pt expenditure of the Government. In Eng land and Old World count ries, the jo bbi n g and cor ruption attendant on every war have been notorious enough, but probably nothing ever ourpassed the extr, tvagance and corruption practised almost by the I Highest in office themselves. WALPOLE himself WU but a novice in the art compared with the American Secretaries for the Army and Navy De partments. This has been made to tell, of course, at all the public meetings, and, in the prospect of enormous taxation, must have told strongly against the Administration. But the great difference, we are sorry to say, be tween the Republicans and the Democrats has been as to the mode of carrying on the war. It is a great mistake to suppose that the Democrats are I opposed to the war ; they only demand that it shall be so carried on that slavery shall e merge un harmed. The Republican party, thoug h opposed originally to the Abolitionists, now includes them ; the latter having come to the belief that the war must be adverse to slavery, though not carried on aga inst it. Hence Mr. LINCOLN has felt con strained to do many things to propitiate the Aboli tionists ; every one of these things—such as the i hanging of the captain of the slaver, the emancipa tion of the district of Columbia, the freeing of all slaves who came within the Federal lines, the diplomatic recognition of Hayti, the offer of pecu niary aid to the Border States towards the emanci i pation of their slaves, and the late proclamation, so far as it was an emancipation decree—each of these has had the approbation of England, and of Ame rican Abolitionists, though we and they felt that they did not go far enough. But all these things irritated th e Democrats, with their strong pro-slavery feeling, to the uttermost. Their avowed policy is to give every guarantee to slaveholders ; to make the Fugitive Slave Law morestring,eut, to give full effect to the DRED SCOTT decision, in a word, to restore the Union by making slavery its law from North to South. Now this we take to be the worst aspect of the late Democratic triumph. 7o save the Union is equally the object of Republicans and Democrats. The ambition of both is the same—to be the most powerful empire on earth. The Republicans hold that this ought to be effected by the circumscription of Slavery—the Democrats by its protection and encouragement. The Abolitionists have the same aim, and sincerely believe that the abolition of slavery would soon make America the greatest amongst the nations. As the Republicans have failed to restore the Union, by their policy, the wearied many are, we fear, beginning to regard the Democratic or pro-slavery policy as that which may be more successful. They see that Mr. LINCOLN'S Government cannot, even with the vast means placed at their disposal, conquer the South and restore the Union in that way ; we fear too many are beginning to think it better to sell the Union to slavery than to break it up. This, we fear, is the chief cause of Democratic success. Other causes co-operate. The reckless imprisonment of political opponents, and the interference with the press, have no doubt disgusted all respectable men, and we have always ourselves thought the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act one of the most unwarrantable of Mr. LINCOLN'S doings. Still if we interpret things aright, the Democratic party has regained its influence, because it was indeed conservative — conservative of slavery. Whether the result will be to stimulate the PRESIDENT and his generals to greater and more successful military exertions, and whether it will induce him to enforce or recall his proclamation for the let of January, we shall soon begin to see. Our chief ,hope lies in the temper of the South. The South will not be coaxed back into union. The Southern press plainly tells its old Democratic friends in the North that it is hopeless for them to expect it. When discussing the Democratic speeches before the late elections, it warns the Democrats that the separation is final, that the South " thinks no better of the proposition—of re-union—when coming from them than when coming from the Republicans." If the South persists in this view, which we may be pretty sure it will, one of two things must follow, either the North must make such terms with the South as will ensure to the lat ter perpetual political supremacy, or the North will determine to conquer all the Border States it cares to have, and leave the others to their fate. In the interests of humanity and freedom all Englishmen ought to wish for the latter result. And it is the one to which it is possible to hope the present elec tions will tend. A DANIEL, yea! a DANIEL went to judgment on Friday evening at Southampton. The Lord Mayor of London—intent, apparently, upon making the most of his time—has, within the first week of his induction into the chair of the chief magistracy, carried the civic barge through what sailors call very dirty weather, into Southampton Waters. The Liberal electors constituting the bulk of the con- stituency, at that great out-port on the south coast of England, had already their choice in the way of obtaining a suitable representative in the Commons House of Parliament. There was Capt. MANGLES to begin with—about the fittest and most appropriate person, in every respect, that could well be selected. A man perfectly well known at Southampton. A man whose political opinions are, upon most of the i m portant questions of the d a y, id en ti ca l w ith those entertained by the Southampton constituency. A ma n peculiarly qualified to look after the distinc tive interests of a great arena of maritime and mer- cantile enterprise like Southampton. Capt.MANGLEs, Chairman of the Board Directors of the West India Mail Packet Company—appeared, upon the first instant, when his name was pointed out to the Southamptonelecaptoprsearass stillthe candidate t e o ar t l h i i e s st moment, wh f s o n r their suffrages all the other multifarious and motley candidates have been announced and taken, one after another, into consideration by the constituency—the most likely, and suitable, and appropriate successor, that could anywhere be found, to the late Mr. BRODIE WILCOX, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Peninsular and Oriental Company. So indeed have thought apparently upon calm reflection the whole crowd of the other would-be M.P.'s for the borough o f Southampton. With two I exce ptions only they have (so think,ing) retired from the contest. One among the m, the Hon. Mr. ASH LEY, Private Secretary to the Prime Minister of England, having--from the simple fact of his being Lord TALILERSTON'S Private Secretary —an immense advantage over all other competitors down di Southampton. Had Mr. ASHLEY decided upon going to the hustings, and afterwards to the poll, he would, we are satisfied, have been (probably to the extent of a very large majority) aided by the prestige reflected upon him by Lord PALMERSTON'S unrivalled popularity—a popularity undeniably con siderable any where and everywhere in the United t b IC ' in g l ioln, but especially great dow n in the oh neighbou rhood of the veteran Premier's Hampshir e Rona%) dowil there among that Liberal cousti tnency boroughr of S ou thampton. Neverthe less, with th i s e le s Private . lan t Secretaryrefrains prospect luring the Prime Minist er's his inist claim s upon the attention of the South amptonActingtutheumsot obviously in favour candidate, the to the suitable of ti e ?: electorg 1 liberal of the earliestcandidates ing the Chairman of the West India Mail P ac k et Company, Captain MANGLES. Not thus judiciously and magnanimously h ave decided the two exceptions among the crowd _ ___ of candidates but very recently pressing for ward in a crowd to claim the admiring regard of the electors of Southampton. One of these resolute claimants of the suffrages of the wished ',or constituency being an advanced Liberal, —to wit, Mr. GEORGE THOMPSON, the eloquent lecturer, and sometime M.P. for the Tower Ham lets! The other, being a thorough-going Conser vative, and no less a personage—at any rate in the eyes of a Frenchman (Le Lord Moire being second L, only in a Frenchman's eye to La Reins herself !) no less a personage than the Right Hon. WILLIAM RosE, the new Lord Mayor of London. The latter candidate it is who claims for himself, beyond a doubt, the exclamation raised from all the dis cerning electors down at Southampton, of " A DANIEL, yea a very DANIEL, come to judgment !" Le Lord Maire ROSE has by this time, it may fairly be said, completely unbosomed himself to the consti tuency he hopes may become his. After the scene witnessed on Friday evening, we trust we may not be regarded as in any way irreverent to the dignity of this great City functionary if, in regard to his chance of obtaining the vacant seat, we venture in familiar terms (and with all the fervour the words are so well inerstood to imply) an earnest hope that he may get it ! It may be remembered of old Mr. WELLER that upon a certain memorable occasion when he went in search of the Reduced Consols, or as he pronounced it Counsels, and dis covered them, as he imagined, in the agreeable occupation of eating sandwiches—it may be remem bered of old Mr. WELLER that when struggling out of the crowd in which he had had his ha t knocked I over his eyes by some ono behind hiss,seiss , afterwards turned out (when the old gentleman's head was ex tricated from his hat) to be his son SAMUEL, that old WELLER pathetically apostrophised his son with the reproach " A-bonnetting your own Father !" The LORD MAYOR of London having boot virtually subjected, in the persons of his friends, to precisely that very process down at the Dolphin Hotel at Southampton, on Friday evening, might have contented himself as forcibly and at the same time as laconically with uttering a somewhat similar reproach. Substituting for the parental title, of course, that of " your own LORD MAYOR—your own Conservative Candidate !" But he went further. Irritated manifestly by the unlooked-for warmth of his reception, he may be fairly said to have given the Southampton constituency a bit of his mind ! Upon their own want of taste, or of any sense of delicacy or refinement in the first instance, and in particular ! And afterwards upon all kinds of things, upon subjects as various as " SHAK SPERE and the musical glasses"—upon all the great questions of the day (many of which we all know don't answer in the least) not forgetting a gibe even at the Ballot, and a sneer at American Rowdyism ! The most absurdly inapposite references those last mentioned by the way—seeing, on the one hand, that if only there had been vote by bal let here in England there would have been no chance of these disturbances his lordship was complaining of ! And, upon the other hand, that his complaints about American Rowdyism were uttered on Friday evening not, let us say, at Bos ton, U.S., but in the English borotigh of Southamp ton ! Altogether, the Conservative display of last week, more particularly of last Friday evening down at Southampton, cannot, as we take it, but augur admirably well for the only "likely" candidate now before the Southampton constituency : the Liberal candidate, not the eloquent Radical candidate, but the Liberal candidate, Captain MANGLES. Mr. GEORGE THOMPSON we should be glad enough to see in the House of Commons, a little later on as the choice of some other constituency. But as a candidate for the Southampton constituency, we see no reasonable hope whatever when represented by a fit and proper person (for that borough) like Capt. MANGLES. " The right man," Mr. -GEORGE THOMPSON, is to our thinking upon many points — but he is obviously just now not in the right place as an extra Liberal candidate down at South ampton, with a Conservative candidate actually there in the field. The latter, however, it must be confessed, at the same time is no more formidable than as the Hero of a Charivari! So ridiculous has he rendered himself by his bearing on Friday in presence of the then recent disturbance, that one is tempted to echo, in honour of this flower among the Lord Mayors, the old Latin quatrain, applied to his namesake of the garden ; but not inapplicable, just now, to himself as Lord Mayor of London, and Tory candidate at Southampton. " Rosa honor decusque florum, Rosa flea odorque Divum, Hominum rose est voluptas, Decus ills Gratiarum." Divum referring, of course, to " the Gods " (of the theatrical galleries), from whose ranks the roughs of Friday, down at Southampton, were manifestly recruited—in whose nostrils, strange to say, the very name of the Lord Mayor is in such bad odour! "A RosE," to them, by any other name, would be sweeter than—by the title, let us say, M.P. for Southampton ! As a momentary ebullition of feeling, Friday's de monstration is little more to us (we cannot but confess it) than simply laughter-moving. If repeated, however, it could not but carry discredit to that great liberal constituency. Let them think seriously of the matter now, there fore, and act earnestly. They hale pointedly enough signified their disrelish for the Con servative candidate. Let them henceforth simply dedicate their energies to the return of the Liberal candidate, the return of Captain MANGLES, who, if they are but determined and united in their efforts, is secure, in spite of every opposition, of becoming very soon indeed Mr. WlLcol's successor as M.P. for the borough of Southampton. ____ oisc iNKEE COMMANDER WILKES.—The secret of the extraordinary antipathy exhibited towards England by brave Commander Wilkes, of the Federal navy, is not i haaci n nnon T .wet t ei hl epe, x e va E wpet p hrrh Y r e; generally known in this country. An intelligent gentle m. an, a native of Virginia, who is now in London assisting given i t ega i n o of tin n orayhe r sao a uusr p gap u htri b itss l fe i ao c cuat u ott undertaking thehe s r eo t n a luu k tnth i in n oee g ncwe o osa f sfr agrtirhyseeadt display as over, i py m l s a p tyhe o r ya r o t a - f: exhibited by the valiant Wilkes, this gentleman i s gn aid o , ron " A oe n . d d , o , W yo h u y n ,, o , t addedknow t h h e e , c,a,uhsaev?e" you l p n r e o v te e s r te h d e -m ard y about Wilkes and Sir John Ross ?" " Never," I replied. i " Well," continued my Transatlantic friend, " I'll tell you, and tat it be a caution to you for the future." He then told me that Wilkes was the commander of the United States expedition, fitted out, in common with similar expe claims by England and Russia, some years ago, to discover the North-West Passage. The American expedition went first, and Sir John Ross followed a few months afterwards. The United States party was met on its return by Sir John Ross, when Captain Wilkes gave all the information he had acquired (or, as my Yankee friend said, all he chose to give) to the British expedition. He also gave them a chart of his progress. This was carefully preserved by Sir John Ross, but subsequent experience proved that it was altoge ther fallacious, as Sir John Ross's ships actually sailed over places which were described as mountains in the chart of Capt. Wilkes. The inference left on the mind of Sir John Ross was, naturally enough, that the Yankee commander had drawn upon his imagination for his facts. Be this as it may, he was obliged to state in his official report to the Government that Commander Wilkes was not quite as reli - able an Arctic traveller as some of his predecessors, and that ini act the Yankee report was in some respects a romance Hence the bitter antagonism of the valorous Wilkes, and hence his extraordinary anxiety to insult the British flag.— Cort espondent of Belfast News Letter. On Saturday summonses were issued from the Foreign-office, appointing a Cabinet Council to meet this day at Lord Palmerston's official residence in Downing street. THE PRINCE OF WALES.—His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales is expected to arrive at Windsor Castle about the 25th inst. THE PRINCESS ALIGE.—His Royal Highness Prince Louis of Hosse and the Princess Alice's stay in Eng land will be for about two months. ASCENT OF VESUVIUS BY THE PRINCESS ROYAL. —The Princess of Prussia made her late ascent of Vesu vius on foot, scrambling, slipping, and struggling, with her companions. After remaining about half an hour, the Royal party began to descend, ankle deep in fine ashes, sliding, involuntarily running, the only difficulty being to keep themselves from rolling to the bottom. One gentle man broke the scabbard of his sword, and the Princess found herself almost shoeless or bootless, and, as the Neapolitans would say, compelled to " rimediare con un fazzoletto." The anneal full dress ball, in aid of the funds of the Royal Dramatic College, is announced to take place at the St. James's Hall, Piccadilly, on Wednesday, the 10th December next. Commandant Zmybrabakis, one of the principal chiefs of the insurrection at Nauplia, and who bas been for some time in Paris, has just left for Athens. The depar ture of M. Marinovitch, President of the Servian Senate, has also taken place. Ho goes first to Geneva, and thence direct to Belgrade. ST. MATTHEW'S, SPRING GARDENS.—Yesterday morning the IZev. S. Flood Jones. M.A., the incumbent, at the close of a very able sermon on " the Mercies of God to Man," stated that in accordance with the suggestions con tained in the circular letter of the Bishop of London, he would ask his congregation to contribute continuously,week by week, to the fund in aid of the relief of the distress in the North. Small as the congregation was, he thought he might promise in its name that at least four now starving families should be maintained during the forthcoming winter. The rbv. gentleman intimated that the amounts hitherto contributed by the congregation had been for warded by him to the Lord Mayor's Committee, and that the church would be opened every Saturday and Monday, between the hours of 11 and 12, when some one would be in attendance to receive any articles of clothing, blankets, &c., which the congregation or persons residing in the npiglibuuTllood Welt 130 =posed to Rend, and ~Lich Le would take care should be duly transmitted to the proper quarter. - UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH.--The second trien nial election to the office of Rector of Edinburgh Univer sity took place on Saturday. The candidates were Mr. Gladstone, Chancellor of the Exchequer, who has held the office since the first election in 1859, and Mr. Stirling, M.P. The choice is vested in the matriculated students of the University, and out of a constituency of 1,331 the number who voted was 1,112. The poll took place between 10 and 12 o'clock, and at the close the numbers stood as follows : For Mr. Gladstone, 644 ; for Mr. Stirling, 468 ; majority for Mr. Gladstone, 176. In 1859 Mr. Gladstone was elected by 643 against 527 who voted for Lord Neaves—majority, 116. GLASGOW UNIVERSITY.—DIVINITY CHAIR.— We have authority for stating that the Court of the Uni versity of Glasgow proceeded on Friday to the election of a new Professor of Divinity, in room of the Rev. Dr. Hill, re signed, when the Rev. Dr. Caird, Park Church, Glasgow, was unanimously appointed to that office. We understand that there were in all ten candidates. —Glasgow Herald. It is stated that the Great Exhibition has been sold for a railway terminus. We doubt if that will be per mitted to be the final fate of the building ; but we do know that it will witness, before its glories are finally dimmed, a scene that will rival anything yet beheld in the metropolis —to wit, a magnificent ball on as elegant a scale of company as high prices can produce; but, if the tickets are any thing short of a five-pound note, the building will be sure to be crowded. It will be a pleasant trip down the middle and up again, to the sound of a monster orchestra of a thousand performers, and the full swell of a grand organ to do the piano passages. The building will be brilliantly illumi nated with gas in all directions, and festooned with all the floral powers that the next-door neighbour—the Horticul tural—can bring into operation.7to aid in the great event. January is named for the ball, but that is not a decided an nouncement.—Court Journal. OFFICIAL APPOINTMENTS. —The Duke of Argyle. has bean appointed Lord-Lieutenant of Argyleshire in the room of the Marquis of Breadalbane. We believe that Mr. Henry Austin Bruce, M.P. for Merthyr Tydvil, will sue • ceed Mr. George Clive as under-secretary of state. Mr. Bruce was called to the bar in 1837. The Rev. A. P. Clemenger has been appointed incumbent of the new dis trict of St. Thomas, Agar-town. The Queen has been pleased to appoint Henry Astbury Leveson, Esq , to be colonial secretary for her Majesty's settlement of Lagos; and Charles Piers, Esq., to be superintendent of convicts for the colony of the Cape of Good Hope. Accounts from Toulon state that the reports cur rent on the subject of a fleet of iron-coated frigates being fitted oui for sea have completely ceased, and if the Go vernment ever intended anything of the sort it has been indeflnitively oajoarned, for the (Moire is oboist to be letd up in ordinary and the Invincible to be placed on the re served list. The expedition to Mexico having dipped deeply into the budget of the Marine, it has been found necessary to postpone various experiments which the Mi • nister had proposed to make with iron-cased ships of war. It is said that there is a question of reinforcing the French squadron in the Chinese seas. The Minister has received despatches announcing the appearance of a vast number of pirates. Commodore de Marolles, of tfie Im perial navy, has been forced to enter into a very unequal conflict with them in the waters of the Ningpo. He lost from 15 to 20 men, and he himself was wounded. On the 18th of September, the date of the despatches, the cholera, which had made great ravages among the fleet, had con siderably diminished. NEW SOUTH VALES AND THE RELIEF FUND.— A remittance of £7OO has been received from the Yass dis trict, and £443 from Goulburn, in aid of the fund for the relief of the distressed Lancashire operatives. £13,500 had already been forwarded from the colony, and another re mittance of £3,600 was made by this mail.—. Australian and 11 ew Zealand Gazette. DEATH OF A CAVALRY VETERAN.—Died, on the 9th inst., at the Cavalry Barracks, Cahir, " Crimean Bob," the oldest troop horse in the B r iti s h cavalry. This ve t eran commenced his career in the 15th Hussars, and on their embarkation for India was transferred to the 14th Light Dragoons, and from that regiment to the 11th Hussars in like manner, when the 14th were ordered on foreign ser vice. He first joined the army on the 2d October, 1833, making a total of military service of nearly thirty years, during which period he i was all through the Crimean Cam paign, and was ridden n the memorable charge of Bala klava, and at the battles of Alma and Inkerman, by the present farrier-major of the regiment, and during the whole of the campaign was never once struck off duty through sickness. On the return of the regiment to England he was shown to his Royal Highness the General Command ing-in-Chief, who would not allow him to be cast; but ordered him to be retained in the regiment until his death, which occurred on Sunday morning, from old age and genera l decay, to the sincere regret of all ranks of the regi ment, from the colonel down to the youngest recruit, with whom the old horse was a universal favourite,—United Service Gazette. ANOTHER ACCIDENT TO THE UNDERGROUND RAILWAY.--On Saturday morning, at 11 o'clock, a further inspection of the state of the line, the new signals, and the carriages, the construction of which, with reference to the doors, &c., had been objected to on the part of Col. Yolland, of the Board of Trade, was made in the presence of that gentleman, Mr. Fowler, Mr. Parsons, and several of the directors of the company. All appeared to be comparatively satisfactory until the neighbourhood of Coppice-row was reached, when it was found that upwards of 100 feet of earth on the western side of the newly-farmed line bad slipped, forcing down about 38 feet of the " retaining" wall, and materially endangering the large water tank, signals, and, indeed, the whole of the contiguous property abutting upon that portion of the line. The whole of this part of the eluting appears to be in a dangerous state, several piles of the Sessions- house having been forced from their perpendi cular position by the strain of the masses of earth and clay resting against them, and the pressure of the weight of the adjacent buildings. On Friday afternooon, and during the whole of Saturday, large numbers of additional workmen were engaged in attempting to make good the damage. THE ROMAN CATHOLICS AND THE DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE. —In the course of a circular just issued by the Roman Catholic Bishop of Liverpool, he says:--" I beg to call your attention to the efforts now being made by the benevolent throughout the country for the relief of the Lan cashire operatives. No doubt many of your flock have already contributed to the common fund through some of the numerous channels opened for the flow of charity, but our liberality must keep pace with the distress. You will therefore be pleased to have in the church under your care a general collection on Sunday, the 23d instant. I must leave it to the impulse of your heart how you can best sti mulate the generosity of your people. You will be doing a real act of kindness if you will open at your own house or school a depot for the receiving of clothes, old or new, shoes, hats or caps, coverlets or any other article that can be con verted into clothing or a coverlet for the night.

THE ALONITEUR ON LORD RUSSELL'S DLSPA TCH. The Moniteur, in its bulletin of yesterday, makes the following remarks : " The English despatch fully appreciates the sen timents which dictated the step taken by the Em peror's Government. It testifies, on the part of the British Government, the most lively desire to act in concert with France. In declining, for the present, the cooperation which has been offered, it is influ enced only by the more or less favourable chance, which the proposition of the French Government might have at this precise moment in the United States. It is not a refusal, it is only a postponement. "The Russian despatch may be looked upon in the same light. It does ample justice to the feeling of conciliation and humanity which influenced the Emperor; and, when the proper time comes, it pro mises its moral suppport to any step that may be taken at Washington. In St. Petersburg, no less than at London, it is the situation of affairs in the United States which has caused ali action, in the sense of the French proposal, to be deferred. "The reception which our offer of friendly inter ference would be likely to have in America must undoubtedly be considered as very important; but if our information is correct, the hesitations of the cabinets of London and St. Petersburg has nearly reached the period assigned for their duration. There is in the United States, both Northern and Southern, an opinion favourable to peace which be comes stronger every day. The elections which just taken place attest the progress of that opinion ; its upholders have obtained a decided advantage, and it is likely to be that of the majority at the next meeting of Congress." ANO7HER RAILWAY ACCIDENT IN SCOTLAND. GLASGOW, Sunday.—The mail train for London, which left this city on Saturday night at 9.10, met with an accident between Lockerbie and Beattock, on the Caledonian Railway, whereby one man was killed, and other persons were hurt somewhat seri ousiy. The accident, which took place about mid night, was caused by the breaking of the tire of one of the leading wheels of the engine as the train was going down what is known the Beattock incline. The locomotive, tender, guard's van and carriage left the metals, and swerved to the left, and after running about 500 yards came to a stand. The next, a carriage, including the post-office van, turned to the left and fell over the embankment—a height of 15 or 20 feet. In this part of the,train the sole damage was done. In a third•-class carriage was Captain Bridie, who was on his way to join his ship, the Rob Roy. He was killed on the spot. His wife and a child four and a half years old, were sit ting by his side. The lady received a hurt upon her head, and had her face disfigured ; but no dan gerous consequences are expected. Mr. Percival, of London, sustained a severe scalp wound, and a young man, named Morrison, proceeding from Glas gow to London, was also hurt internally, but not seriously. Of course, others received bruises, but none of them to such an extent as to prevent them from resuming their journey. A BURGLAR SHOT BY A LADY.—On the 12th inst. a burglary was committed at the house of Mr. Nor man, of Howich End, Whaley Bridge, Derbyshire. The entrance was effected through the house shutters, which were opened with a "jemmy," and three men, armed and masked, obtained unmolested entrance to the dining-room. At half-past three Mrs. Norman was disturbed by a strange Loise, and having listened for a few seconds determined to leave her bed and discover the cause. She therefore par tially dressed herself, and, armed with a revolver, went down stairs, and upon reaching the front room she found a man using a lighted candle, wearing a mask. Mrs. Nor man fired, and hit the burglar in the breast. The shot served as an alarm, and instantly the wounded burglar a as dragged through the window (bleeding and g roaning) __ e y his alarmed companions, who were on t he watch.was The effect of the shot was such that the wounded man was the room by Mrs. Norman to fall ag ainst the wall 11 T o room, and it is suspected by the police that the the offenderse wound may have proved fatal. There ar e stron g hopes that may be discovered.—Alandiester Guardzan. OF THE UNI- THE INTER. SGOW. THE LORD RE VERSI 'C7 0 !SHIP :From the North British. Mail of Saturday.) To-day immense excitement was caused among the matriculated students of our ancient University by the fact that the election of a Lord Rector was to take place. Such an event in past times has always caused great stir, but on the present oeca • sion the excitement bas been even greater than usual. This has arisen in part, no doubt, by the pre-eminent names which have been brought for ward as candidates for the honour, and still more, perhaps by the strong party feeling which exists in the University at the present time. Lord Palmer ston was brought forward by the Liberal Associa tion, and Lord Glencorse, the Lord Justice Clerk, was nominated by the 9onservative Club ; and it is only doing justice to both bodies to say that they worked as hard for their candidates as men could do. This was exhibited in a variety of ways. Night after night did they hold meetings to impress the claims of their nominees upon the wavering electors, and during the day several of the members of the committees gave up their classes, and for a fortnight back threw their studies to the winds, in order to canvass for votes. How far this has been successful may be guessed from a reference to the number who voted for each candidate. The result, it will be seen, is in favour of Lord Palmerston, who has gained the high honour of Lord Rectorship by a majority of 82 votes, there being a majority for him in three Nations, and a tie in the fourth. In the latter there would also have been a majority for him, but for the fact that a student lost his Library ticket, and before he could obtain another the poll had closed. The following is the state of the poll at its close : For Lord For Lord Palmerston. Giencorse, 174 167 127 89 123 86 132 132 Natio Glottiana Natio Rothseiana Natio Loudoniana Natio Transforthana 556 474 showing a majority for Lord Palmerston of 82. The poll was opened at 10 o'clock, but two hours before that time the chief supporters of each candi date were astir marshalling their forces. By nine o'clock the excitement became quite perceptible in the vicinity of the University, and subsequently it increased rapidly, so that a few minutes to eleven o'clock, when the outer gates of the College were shut, a grand rush was made inside the walls of the University. Up till this time the scouts sent out to bring in waverers had been very busy. These gentlemen extended themselves over the city, and wherever they saw any one wearing the garb of their particular party they immediately lugged him off post-speed to the poll. Their labours ended to a great extent at eleven o'clock, but after that hour a few of the keenest remained in High street to direct any stray but late voter how he might get inside the university, namely, by climb- ing over, the outer walls in Vennel or in Blackfriars street. By these means, accordingly, a number gained admission and recorded their votes in time, as the poll did not close till 12 o'clock, although the front gates were shut an hour earlier. The following telegram, addressed to Mr. Moodie, a member of the Conservative Club, was received at the University from Lord Palmerston on Friday afternoon : " I have written to Lord Belhaven to explain why I am unable to accept the honourable office of Rector if offered to me." —. This telegram added greatly to the excitement, as it was looked upon as an artful dodge by the sup- porters of the Lord Justice, Clerk to gain the election by stratagem. Accordingly, bills in profuse num bers, were isued by the Liberal Association, de nouncing the telegram as a trap, and warning the supporters of Lord Palmerston to give no heed to it. They also placarded the walls of the city, near the College with such bills as these—" Vote for Palmer ston,,' " Palmerston and Victory," Palmerston, the friend of Italy,"" Who's. Inglis ?" in fact they used every means in their power to thwart any damaging effect which the telegram might have had.lt was aptly reasoned by them—what right had a Conservative to write to Lord Palmerston, and ask him whether he would accept the Lord Rectorship if elected ? and supposing he had declined, would be not com municate with his supporters ? They made up their minds from the first to disregard the rumour, and show the Conservatives that they would carry their man, let the upshot be what it might. As waS to be expected the contest was keenest in the Glottiana Nation, or among the matriculated students belonging to Lanarkshire, they being most numerous. It was in fact a neck and neck race until the close, when Lord Palmerston's supporters had only polled seven more than their opponents. Next in importance and in keenness of competition displayed was that of the Transforthana Nation, in cluding the students from Shetland, Orkney, and from the counties of Caithness, Sutherland, Ross, Inverness, Cromarty, Moray, Nairn, Banff, Aber deen, Perth, Forfar, Kincardine, Clackmannan, Fife, Kinross, Argyll, Stirling, and Dumbarton. Up till the last moment both parties in this Nation fought with much energy, and one minute after the poll closed a student with a pink cap on tendered his vote for Lord Palmerston, but which of neces sity was refused. Of the other two Nations, that of Rothseiana, including students from the counties of Bute, Renfrew, and Ayr, had the largest num ber of votes, and showed no less a majority for Lord Palmerston than 38. The Loudoniana Nation stu dents not included in the districts embraced by the others, polled 123 for Palmerston and only 86 for Inglis, being a majority of 37 for the Premier. !NATIONAL EXHIBITION. The last day of the Exhibition passed off un mlrked by any particular event. There was an unusually large attendance of visitors for these sale days—upwards of 13,000 in all,--a greater number than on any previous occasion since the selling off of the goods had commenced. The total number admitted during the last fortnight has been very much less than was anticipated, a whole week re cording no more than the meagre attendance of a bad shilling day. In round numbers, the visitors each week were 45,000, bringing the gross total of all admitted since the commencement up to 6,207,450, or 177,000 more than the numbers of 1851, which were 6,030,135. So far the present display has done tolerably well, and, though the receipts on admissions during these sale days have not realized even moderate expectations, here is still not the least reason to doubt that the money now in hand will cover all outlays, and no call of any kind will be made on the guarantors. A nail surplus, however, would have been a most gratifying adjunct to this success, inasmuch as it would have enabled the Commissioners to reward as they wished the zealous and most hearty ser vices of their very hard-worked but ill-paid staff. All of them, from the highest to the lowest, have been working at almost nominal salaries, in the belief that, as in 1851, there would be a sur plus at the close, when the example then set of liberal douceurs in acknowledgment of careful ser vice would of course be followed on this occasion. It is needless to say that all these hopes are at an end, though, if any disappointment is felt, at least none is shown amid the satisfaction expressed that, in spite of every difficulty and unforeseen discou ragement, they have made the Exhibition of 1862 a success which will be fully and kindly appre ciated by the country for years to come. On Saturday, as we have said, there was nothing to mark the last public day but the fuller attendance of visitors promenading the nave as of old. The gloom of the weather made the interior both dark and cold, and no purchases were going on, for every thing worth having has long since found a pur chaser. Glass, china, jewellery, costly fabrics, and furniture have all been disposed of, and so far exhi bitors are perfectly satisfied. To-day the work of sending out the goods will be commenced in every class. Not much more than a third of the con tents now remain in the building, and the arrange ments for the removal of these have been so per fected during the last fortnight that a; few days will suffice to clear out almost everything. Most of the pictures in the galleries are down, and a consider able number have been removed, especially of the water-colours, Our readers may recollect that soon after the opening of the building repeated assertions were made by a contemporary that many of the best of the water-colours had been irreparably injured by damp from the walls. It is satisfactory, though perhaps unnecessary, to add now that this state ment was purely a malicious invention, and never had any foundation. A careful examination of the works now shows them all to be perfectly in the same state as when the Commissioners received them. In fact, so many and so excellent were the precautions taken to guard against damp in the walls of the galleries that it was next to impossible injury could arise from this source. At the time the misstatements were persisted in, however, they naturally excited some disquietude on the part of anxious owners. NATIONAL IN7ERVEN7ION IN AMERICA. (From the Money Market Review.) Some people talk very glibly of interfering in American affairs, and urge the British Government to depart from the neutral position to which it has hitherto honourably and rigidly adhered. B u t such persons ought at least to be prepared, when they demand the recognition of the South, to define their proposition. It strikes us we have yet to learn what " the South'' really is. When England is called on to mediate between North and South it is necessary to consider very carefully first,—What is to be the basis of the mediation ; and, secondly, the position, when that point is decided, in w hich England would be placed in the event of either the one or the other of the belligerents refusing the • proffered mediation on the basis proposed. There is great room to aprehend that the result of and hasty attempt at mediation, unless North and South themselves agree to a certain extent, would bo to bring upon the mediator the enmity of one, if net both the combatants. It is urged, however, that if England mediates in conjunction with Russia and France, she cannot suffer in dignity should either North or South reject the proposal. But if the we diation were rejected, would the mediating Power; be satisfied, or would the next question be—recer nition of the South and some sort of coercion ? this is not what the great bulk of the English nation would either desire or tolerate. What England desires is, that the Americans there' selves should take some initiative towards putting an end to a strife which inflicts such injury on th e commerce of the whole world. Any ob v i ous ly go°‘" and friendly offices that England could proffer' either alone or in conjunction with the other Powers of Europe, to facilitate a negotiation between North and South, she may willingly consent to, but pc; thing more. It is the clear duty of E ng land n ot to budge an inch from her strict neutrality. li ef mediation should not be susceptible of misconstru e ' tion, and should be sought by and not thrust el l either North or South. America, despite all h er , vapouring, and all the abuse some of her citize n ; lavish on England, has at bottom a greater regar d and respect for the power and opinion of the bottoa: a greater regard and respect for the power al opinion of the mother country than she has for a ll the rest of the world put together; and doubtle aS it is gall and wormwood for the North to hear th at i it is the deliberate opinion of the statesmen of all t parties in England that the result o f thi s wa' m ust be a dissolution of the Union. W e mus t wag e charitable allowance, therefore, for any natural e%; pressions of soreness or i m p a ti ence th at ma y e° l33. from the other side of the Atlantic. What does the Emperor propose P Ist, That an armistice should take place for °li% months. 2d, That the blockade of the South should b° raised. ool" If the North were to consent to these pre. o o f tions, it would be equivalent to throwing a se ! sr p every chance they have of making good boune;i't arrangements with the South. A great c hange 51 _ 0 come over the spirit of the North, and direful ra:.ci be their position, before such terms will be lis ten to. We hope our Government, at least, will st aid aloof from the notion of enforcing any such p r l t 0 o sition, which would be egregiously detrimental 4 the North as belligerents. Before the P o wers anyEuropemake from h proposition sotionototb the termsheNorth, it; e4 be well to learn would agree to, and especially what territory 15 . 4 be included in the secession.

This gentleman is Mr. Pen-. der, an opulent tea merchant, of Manchester and London. He is well known to the commercial world in both cities as a leading member of the Manches ter Chamber of Commerce. He is also much inte rested in Indian undertakings. Mr. Fender is not quite unknown in the South of Devon, having been a visitor at Saltram when the Earl of Morley re sided there, and having contributed towards the re storation of Plympton St. Mary Church. Mr. Pen der's address points out that at the present time the conflict of party has to a remarkable degree subsided, and the attention of the nation is directed to the husbanding of its resources and the expansion of its material prosperity. But this relaxation of political strife is not to be mistaken for relaxation in the spirit of progress, mush less for reaction against re forms already accomplished. Mr. Pender goes on to advocate the utmost efficiency in our naval and military establishments, combined with a wise discretion in the adjustment of the expenditure. As a Churchman, he believes that the Church would be benefited by a speedy settlement of the church rate question, and is anxious to bee this effected on " a fair and equitable basis consistent with the principles of religious freedom." He wishes to see the franchise extended in proportion to " the influence of education and the diffusion of intelligence." Mr. Ponder then points out the ad vantages that have followed unrestricted commerce with other nations, and promises to support the government in its endeavours to extend international free trade. The last paragraph but one is scarcely intelligible, and were we to take the literal mean ing we should be compelled to suppose that Mr. Pender would provide against the recurrence of the exertions made by ministers for mitigating the suf fering caused by the American war. We presum e that Mr. Fender mea ns that he will use his best means to prevent the recurrence of those suffer ings by making India the source of our future cot ton supply. It will be seen from this address that Mr. Fender is a liberal of very moderate views, and has not advocated sweeping reforms which have no chance of being carried. He does not claim to be an orator, but is said to be endowed with much practi cal common sense, and with much business experi ence, derived from long acquaintance with mercan tile affairs. Mr. Colleton-Rennie has declined to come forward in the Conservative interent. On Friday several of the leaders of that party went to London in order to have an interview with their , intended candidate, whom they are still resolved to secure.— Western Morning News. El
