Until then he had succeeded in pass ing no measure of importance, and he was seeing life ebb away with no lasting memorial of him. In the end Mr. DISRAELI succeeded in passing two measures of first-class importance, the Reform Bill and the Corrupt Practices Bill. It must be con fessed that these offspring of the ex-Premier's statesmanship are treating the author of their being with gross ingratitude. iCT2EON devoured by his own dogs did not present a more heart-moving, tear compelling spectacle than Mr. DISRAELI suffering under the effects of his two great statutes. The Reform Act placed him in a minority of about 112. The Corrupt Practices Act is reducing that minority still more. One after another Conservative M.P. is being unseated; one after another of the great triumphs of Conservative reaction is turning out to be due to Conservative gold or to Conservative intimidation. Sir HENRY STRACEY has been unseated at Norwich, Sir RICHARD GLASS at Bewdley, Sir ARTHUR GUINNESS at Dublin, and Mr. PHIPPS at Westbury. Mr. RIPLEY, though a Liberal, was the champion of the Conservative party at Bradford, and he, too, has been unseated, On the other hand, the Conservatives have vainly endeavoured to unseat Mr. EYKYN at Windsor, Mr. ONSLOW at Guildford, Messrs. GAVIN and RUSSELL at Limerick, Mr. DALIVAY at Carrickfergus, Mr. M'CLURE at Belfast, Mr. RYLANDS at Warrington, Mr. FORSTER at Bradford, and they have withdrawn their petitions against Mr. Pmr at Dublin and Mr. IIoNcnErET in Glasgow an d Ab er d een Universities.

WHITWORTH, at Drogh e d a , h as b een unsea t e d on account of electoral malpractices, The judges are sterner men than M.P.'s. Their lordships will not sanction the lame and impotent Conclusions which hon. members used to arrive at. They would think it monstrous to declare, as the Great Yarmouth Election. Committee declared, that bribery had ex tensively prevailed, so extensively that the borough had to be disfranchised, and yet suffer the bribers to retain their seats. Moreover, the judges have ideas of their own respecting intimidation, ideas of a very different kind from those entertained by members of the Legislature. As intimidation was always a favourite weapon with the Conservative party, we are likely to hear of a good many decisions like that given by Mr. Justice WILLES at Westbury. As it is, the list of unseated members is already for midably long, and there is still a week before Par liament meets, and a good many weeks afterwards, in which to increase it. As yet the majority of cases in which the mem bers have been unseated have been cases of bribery or treating. There was bribery at Norwich and Dublin, treating at Bewdley and Bradford, for instance. Here there were two parties to each offence—the party bribing or treating, and the party bribed or treated. But while there were thus two offences committed in each act; while there was the unlawful purchase and the unlawful sale of a vote, and so a doub!e wrong, neither act was in itself so bad as intimidation, in which there is only one offender. It is a sin to purchase a vote, but at least the purchaser leaves to the other the free exercise of his will. He buys what he ought not to buy, it is true; but he does not rob. Intimidation is nothing less than robbery. The person g u ilt y o f undue influence goes up to a voter, if in England, and says to him, in the spirit, if not in the language of the highwayman, "Your vote or your livelihood. Vote for my man, or I will turn you out of house and home, and turn you off from your employment to starve in the streets." If it is an Irish election, the offender says, "Vote for my man or I will denounce you from the altar, I will withhold the sacraments from you, I will damn you to all eternity." It is nothing to the point that he has no power to influence his victim's ever lasting fat the victim believe s th a t h e has, and accordingly.yields e; In neither instance does the followin g scarcely 1 'The t htlahte we e art Government is so clearly determined to re present has duce the Civil Service estimates , be lieve the story we are now going to repeat. The place of secretary to the Board of Works, •to which a salary of £1,200 a year was attached, became vacant a short time since. Two rival claimants at once started up h with his own claims and his own patrons—or, A Liberal contemporary —each more strictly speaking, ono with his claim, and the other with his patron. The economically disposod Government solved tho difficulty by appointing both competitors, as joint secretaries at the reduced rate of £l,OOO a year each. The place of assistant-secretary has, it is true, been abolished, but it was long ago condemned as an unnecessary expense, with no duties attached to it but such as could be discharged by either the secretary or the senior clerks. Is it really true that these appointments have been made ?" The Home Secretary, in receiving a deputation on is subject the other day, made an important admis sion with respect to the deplorable want of system in our metropolitan local government. He stated that so great were the difficulties in the way from want of organisation, that when he was preparing his education scheme, he found himself obliged to leave London out altogether, dealing with it separately later on. Mr. BRUCE indeed was altogether surprised out of his official reticence. He frankly acknowldeged to the deputation which waited upon him that he thought there had been already sufficient inquiry, and that the time for action was come. Contrary to most mal contents, the gentlemen who waited upon him were really prepared to deal practically with the grievance of which they complained. They submitted a well considered scheme for amending our local govern ment by removing the power from the vestries, with out running the risk of that dangerous centralisation to which Englishmen have so strong and so well founded an objection. This plan proposes to divide Lo n _ don into a certain number of municipalities, theCoolrd poration of the City of Lo n d on retaining its position. Each of these municipalities is to ha ve ' complete self-government in its own province, while it has also been suggested that a general municipal corporation might be formed for the whole of the metropolis. The number of these municipalities has been variously estimated from seven to nine, and there is no reason to suppose that they would not work industriously, intelligently, and efficiently. In all our country towns and cities, like Liverpool, Man chester, and Birmingham, the municipal system works excellently, and we should be amazed if we heard that such places had determined to give up, or put down, their mayor and his colleagues, and to substi tute our cumbrous and tormanageable vestries in their place. No one objects to the Corporation of the City, and there is no very plain or manifest reason why the City should be goverLed differently from the rest of London. Under the new arrangement there would at least be a degree of unity and simplicity iu the direction of affairs which at present we cannot lay claim to, and we should be able to try ' the effect of bringing a higher order of intel ligence to bear upon our parochial questions. We should get men of a different stamp to govern us through municipalities from those who rate us in the The first article in the Dublin University Magazine, "Early Norman French Literature," contains a good deal of varied information. It is a proof that conquerors cannot force their language upon the conquered ; that the language now spoken in France is - essentially the same as was heard two thousand years ago, modified at a sub sequent period by additions from the Latin. " The Lays of Marie de France " contain sone v ery cur i ous sketches of the loves and wars of ancient times. The chivalric romances kept their ground for five centuries, thus enjoying a longer life than any other class of literature in the country. " My Own Sto" continues the we ll- to ld advent u res of Edith Aubrey. ' ry The concluding passage of the race that was run by the two ladies is described with great ani mation, and the unfortunate result to the heroine is not to be wondered at. " The Wyverel Mystery" is the title of a new tale which fulfils the promise of its name from the outset but cannot be much recomm en d e d f or anything I else. t is well adapted to the taste of the lovers of romance, and the adventures of the heroine are most extraordinary. " The Theatre Royal, Dublin," pre sents some interesting accounts- of the theatrical doings of the years 1841 to 1845. Many of those whose names are here mentioned as great theatrical celebrities no i longer adorn the stage ; but this recital of their triumphs will prove att ract i ve to man y rea d ers . " The Railway Problem in Ireland and Belgium " is the subject of th e l as t paper, and it o ff ers some useful statistics to those who are studying the subject. A comparison has been instituted between the railways of Belgium and Ireland, but the cases are not quite similar. The coal produce of Bel gium is 11,840,000 tons, that of Ireland 123,950 tons. IThe iron pr o d uce of Belgium in 1865 was 1,018,231 tons ; that of Ireland, in 1866, 25,525 tons. The advantages which Belgium possesses in minerals have caused a large passenger traffic and an immense traffic in goods. In both countries there is a mile of railway for about the same number o f persons, 2,850. I n Belgium the third-class passengers are much more nume rous than in Ireland, and the amount of goods and mineral traffic is six tim es as great: If the Belgian standard of fares and rates were adopted in Ireland, the result would be an immediate loss of 44 per cent. on the same amount of passenger traffic, and of 46 per cent. on goods. The Commissioners do not propose quite so large a reduction, but are of opinion that any reduction of passenger fares in Ireland to be beneficial must be on short and long tra ffi c equally. By the hdoption of the new system they be lieve that in twelve years there would be a balance in favour of the exchequer. Belgravia is more diversified than usual. Fiction, of course, is largely represented, Miss Braddon finishes " Charlotte's Inheritance," and her place will be taken next month by M rs . Hoey. Mr. Sala tells a story about a prude, by way of witrning to young ladies in general, and engaged ones in particular. Mr. Stigand descends from the loftier work of quarterly reviewing to writing a read able paper about. Byron and the Countess Guiccioli. Mr. Escott, having just completed a new edition of " Juvenal," gives a few pages about Intellectual Solace. Mr. Thorn bury continues his interesting • gossip about London Theatres and London Actors. Mr. Joseph Hatton, known well to Worcester news readers offers " Fragments of an Old File" i n th e s h ape of historical extracts from Berrow's Worcester Journal, which he now edits. Dr. Scoffern con tributes prose in the shape of a chapter on Suffolk Witches; poetry in the shape of a translation of Anacreon's fourth ode. Mr. Patterson discourses of "Sensationalism in Science," a propos of " photospheres." " Mr. Gladstone's Autobiography," by a clergyman of the Church of England, in Macmillan's Magazine, can hardly fail at this juncture to attract the reader's atten tion, and the Premier's warmest admirers may well be satisfied with a writer who aims at reconciling the policy of 1868 with the book of 1838, and defending the states. THE THIRD EDITION OF " THE SUN," giving all the SPORTI N G NEWS of the day, may be seen at JEll Ybl NTON'S house, "The Swan and Horse Shoe," Littlepritain, City, E.C. The February number of St. Paul's contains some really good articles, chief of which are " The New Cabinet, and what it will do for us," and " The Administration of the Army." The writer of the former—probably the editor of the magazine, Mr. Anthony Trollope—after rejoicing on the advent of the Liberals to power, speaks of the action likely to be taken by the new Government on the Irish Church. He thinks that after the Church has been disestablished the revenues should be used for religious purposes and that they should be divided among the three Churches known in Ireland—the Roman Catholic, the Protestant Episcopal Church, and the Presbyterian, according to the popula tion. This, it will be seen, is something cf the same kind as Earl Russell has lately proposed, and which has been condemned by Liberals and Conservatives alike. The author of the article on " The Administration of the Army " contends that the chief defect in our military administration—the absence of one supreme authority—is so serious and so far-reaching in its consequences, that there canbe no difficulty in assert ing at once that a necessary condition to a sound and healthy management of army affairs is to render the Commander in-Chief wholly subordinate to the Secretary of State, and to make his position simply that of a military assistant to the civil head of our army. To this end his o ffi ce s hould be und er th e same roof, and that staff with which he works should be identical with that of the War Minister. The Minister of State, as the p a id servant of the country, ought to be requi re d an d enabled to give his undivided attention, un distracted by professional matters and technical questions, to the vigilant control over the appropriation of the lar g e sums voted for army service. " The Sermon Trade" connected with the Church of England is severely condemned. The writer comes to the conclusion that no man ought to be permitted to preach publicly until be has given evidence before his bishop of his competence to do so. But he con siders that the best and surest cure of all is, that extem pore or oral preaching should be cultivated and aimed at, if not—as amongst the Wesleyan Methodists— absolutely insisted upon. The other articles in the maga zine deal with " The Disposal and Control of our Criminal Classes ;" an interesting reminisc ence of " The Last Lyn x " i n a former royal forest of Burgundy ; " Gibbon's Autobiographical Memoirs," and " Life Studies." " A Song of Angiola on Earth " is made up of pretty similes and happy expressions. The two tales " The Sacristan's Household" and " Phineas Finn" are continued. The latter seems to drag some what heavily, and does not possess that interest which the opening chapters led the reader to expect. Under the Crown, a new and deserving candidate for public favour, has reached its second number. It adopts the principle of short articles, and amid a great variety of contributions contains much that is excellent. The verses are generally good ; and " Linter den dunkeln Linden," in particular, is very pretty. There is a serial story, " Little France," which promises remarkably well; and some short tales, of which " How I was Buried Alive," and " Left on Board "—the latter an exciting story of a blockade-runner during the American war— are remarkably interesting. " Not a Chance," by Tom 800 1, is somewhat thin. Amongst the miscel laneous papers, Mr. F. T. Palgrave's "Fortnight in Por tugal in 1859" occupies a prominent place; but there is a careful paper—the first of a series—on the Progress of Landscape Painting, and an article on Pauperism con sidered from an historical point of view—a more than usually good contribution to the literature of this subject. Mr. Hooper gives an interesting account of the great Egyptian Fair at Tant4l, and there is a short paper on the Reform of the Musical Pitch in England, some brief notes under the head of " Miscellanea," and Notices of Books. The staff of the new magazine is evidently very strong. A magazine commanding such a great variety of good writing ought to speedily attain a high position. 117 II O'S GRAINGER?

There are really no words too strong to con- demn the man guilty of undue influence, whether he be a Roman priest at Drogheda or a - Wiltshire mann- facturer at Westbury. We commented upon the first case at the time. The second, which has just been settled, is as bad as bad can be. Westbury is a borough for the most part under the control of one or two resident land owners. Chief of them is Sir MASSEY LOPES, who represented the place in the last and some pre ceding Parliaments, but who abandoned his safe seat in his pocket borough in order to fight the battle of his party in South Devon. Westbury is one of those small decaying Wiltshire towns in which the manufacture of woollen cloths, once confined to the West of England, is still carried on after a feeble fashion. The town contains two manufacturers—on e of them, Mr. LAVERTON, the ' Liberal candidate at the last election ; the other, Mr. HAnnop, whose conduct has led to the unseating of the Conservative candidate, Mr. PHIPPS. Mr. HARROP was not only a political opponent of Mr. 1 LAVERTON'S, but a rival in business, and feeling for his competitor all that petty but bitter jealousy which is to be found in small country towns, and would astonish centres of industry like Bradford or Leeds. From the first Mr. LAVERTON'S candidature was a very sore matter with Mr. llAnn OP. He early called upon his workmen to say which way they intended to vote. They, in order to prevent unpleasantness, fenced with their employer's most improper question by saying that they did not intend to vote at all. It was argued by the counsel for the sitting member that this was a promise, and that Mr. llannor would not have minded if the men had kept their word; that, in fact, their offence—the Orders by post punctually attended to THE LATEST EDITION of " THE SUN."

BROGDEY AT WEST BROMWICIL Mr. Brogden, the member for Wednesbury, has been en tertained at a complimentary dinner at West Bromwich. The hon. member, who was well received, referred to the re cent Liberal triumph, and the formation of a Government on Liberal principles. In dwelling upon the work which was laid out for the now Ministers to perform, he turned to the question of expenditu-e, and declared that in this respect they could already form some idea of the intentions of the Government. A reduction of at lease three millions was, it is said, to be made in the esti mates. This was in itself an earnest of good ; and besides it afforded hope that perseverance in the policy which effected a saving of three millions might do yet more for the tax payers of the country. The Irish Church question must bo considered, and he thought that no earnest-minded clergyman of the Church of England had any ground for apprehension with regard to the policy of Mr. Gladstone and its effect upon religion. Measures of justice were not likely to have a bad effect upon religion. Ho did not think that the policy of the Cabinet was quite settled as yet with respect to disendowment, but he felt sure that the question would be proposed by the Ministry in a manner which would settle to the fullest extent every claim of justice. Prince Arthur is to pay a visit to Ireland next month. so says the Irish Times. The A then mum states that Brigham Young has had an attack of apoplexy, but has rallied from it. The Archbishop of York on Friday opened two new churches at Sheffield. Ono of i,hem has been erected at a cost of £12,000 by Sir John Brown, and the other is the gift of Mr. L. Wilson, a snuff merchant. The Lords of the Admiralty have decided that the sum of money devoted to experiments shall be reduced Old year from £12,000 to .£2,000. This is a sensible reduction from the £30,000, which sum was annually taken during the infancy of armour-plates. Colonel Jervis, M.P., Mr. Round, M.P., and Col.
