LORD LYTTON AND THE BRITISH ARC'HEULOGICAL SOCIETY. The 2Gth annual congress of this association was opetiO yesterday at the Town-hall, St. Alban's, when the inaugural address was delivered by the President of the association, Lord Lytton. The noble PRESIDENT in commencing his address, after attributing mainly to the labours of the asso ciation the raising of arclzeJlogy from a graceful accomplishment to the dignity of a philosophical science, expressed his belief that his sole claim to the position that he occupied lay in the fact he was an inhabitant of the district visited by the associa tien, and that, while he did not pretend to rival the learning of those he represented, he revered the studies which they adorned, and was familar with the localities whose monuments attracted their re searches. Re was proud to think that the county in which they were then assembled was worthy of the visitation from which its history and its monn • ments would drive fresh illustrations and additional interest. Camden, indeed, had said in his Britannia, " for the renown of Antiquity Hertfordshire may vie with any of its neigi)Lnur?, for scarce any other county can show so many rems 4 ne." Arcl ae )logy had been called the handmaid of history, and with out its aid history could as little repreeent the particular time it endeavoured to recall as the drawing of a skeleton would represent the features and the form by which the individual human being was recognised while in life. It was to the skeleton of a former age that archaeology restored the flesh, and the sinews, and the lineaments that distinguished it from the countless centuries of which it was a link, clothed it in the very gar ments that it wore, and rebuilt the very home in which it dwelt. (Cheers.) But archaeology was also the conservator of art. It disinterred from neglected tombs the inventions of departed genius, and bid them serve as studies, and studies of inspiration, to the genius of a later day. When the baths of Titus were excavated at Rome, the attention of Raphael was di rected by a fellow artist to their faded ara besques ; those arabesques roused his own creative imagination, and under his pencil reappeared on the walls of the Vatican in new and original com binations of form and colour ; nay, that discovery, and the train of ideas it aroused, might be said to have suggested the delicate tracery and elaborate ornaments of the new school of architecture, called the Renaissance, out of which grew the palaces of Fontainebleau and Ileidelberg, and which we had naeuralised in England in those noble manorial resi deuces which adorned the reigns of Elizabeth and James. But it was among the labours of the archaeologist to guard from oblivion the myths, the traditions, the legends of former days, and critical and severe though his genius and its obligations must be, still it was to his care that we owed the preservation of many a pure and sacred well-spring of poetry and romance, well springs from which Spencer and Milton, Dryden, Gray, Wordsworth, and Scott had drawn each his own special stream of inspiration. (Cheers.) Last and not least of our obligations to the spirit of archreslogy was, that it stimulated and deepened in the heart of the people sentiments of pride and affection for their native land. In proportion as we cherished the memories of our ancestors and revered the heirlooms they had left us in monuments erected by their piety or bear ing witness of their lives and their deeds the soil on which we trod became hallowed ground, and we felt that patriotism was no idle name, but the main spring of every policy which made statesmen wise and the borders of a State secure. (Cheers.) When Gibbon gave us the mournful picture of Roman corruption and decrepitude just before the final ex tinction of the Western Empire and the accession of a barbarian King to the throne of the Caesars, he told us that the monuments of Consular or Im perial greatness:were no longer revered as the im mortal glory of the capital, they were only esteemed as an inexhaustible mine of materials cheaper and more convenient than the distant quarry. And with this miserable desecration of objects which attested the majesty of Rome the very name of the Roman passed away, and, to borrow the expression of a French writer, " the descendants of Brutus be came the vassals of the Got')." Bat if the nati mal spirit and love of country were thus generally nourished by that seaic!iing and reverential study of :the p: st which vas called archxelogy, there was an inherent principle in the human mind which made the affections more intense by limit ing their range. A man, for instance, might take but a lukewarm interest in the antiquities of the whole British Empire compared to that which he might readily be indaced to take in the anti quities of the county to which he belonged. "Things distant," said an old writer, " affect us feebly ; things which are brought under our eyes rouse our emotions and appeal to our hearts." For that reason he thought that the Archanlogical As sociation had done most wisely in holding its an nual congresses at successive divisions of oer com mon country, becauseby so doing they sowed in one place the seeds of patriotism and of art, which were wafted to other places more remote, till the same culture of ideas which had commenced at a county town gradually embraced the surface of the king dom. And in that county and at St. Alban's the association would find memorials and reminiscences that illustrated the history of our native island from its earliest date ; from the ancient Briton, whose ancestors, if Welsh traditionwere true, crossed what was called in that language " the hazy sea," from the land of the Crimea, to the beloved and lamented statesman who had a home at Brocket, and under whose auspices was closed that last British war, undertaken for the cause of European civilisation, which had left the tombs of heroes on those Cri mean shores from which came the exiles that had given to Scotland, Wales, and England the com mon name of Britain. (Cheers.) Round the spot, too, on which they were assembled, one of the bravest and the greatest of the British tribes held dominion, far and near round that spot they trod on ground which witnessed their dauntless and de spairing resistance to the Roman invader. And here he might remark that the difference between one race and another appeared to be according to the mental organisation by which any given race could receive ideas from a more civilised race by which it was subdued or with which it was brought into contact. If it could not receive and incorpo rate such ideas it withered and faded away, just as the Red Indian withered and faded away beside the superior civilisation of the American settlers. But England never seemed, from the earliest historical records, to be inhabited by any race which did not accept ideas of improved civilisation from its visi tors or conquerors. The ancient Britons were not ignorant barbarians, in our modern sense of the word, at the time of the Roman conquest. Their skill in agriculture was considerable, they had in familiar use implements and machinery, such as carriages, the watermill, and the windmill, which attested their application of science to the arts of husbandry. Bat from the Romans they received the idea of facilities of transit and communica tion. The Romans were to the ancient world what the railway companies were to the modern —they were the great constructors of roads and highways. Again, to the Romans, the Britons owed the introduction of civil law, and the moment the principle of secular justice between man and man was familiarised to their minds the priestly domination of the Druids, with all its sanguinary superstitions, passed away. It was to Rowe, too, that Britons owed that institutien of inunicif al towns to which tie sophical statesman, M. Guizot, traced the rise of niod,em fre dem in its emancipation frem feudal opi r, scion and feudal serfdom. When the Romans finally withdrew from Britain 92 considerable towns had arisen, of which 33 cities possessed superior privileges. Among the most famous of these cities was Verul: m, which was a municipium in the thee of Nero, and the re mains of which were being more clearly brought to light by the labourers of the Association, under the skilful guidance of Mr. Edward Rob( rt s. The mem bers would on Wednesday be enabled, he belkved to see at le as t th e stage, the proscenium, and the orchestra of the only Roman theatre yet found in this country. Lastly, it was to the Roman con- I queror that the Briton owed, if not the first partial concession, at least the national recognition of that Christian faith whose earliest British martyr Nadi bequeathed his name to St. Alban's. (Cheers.) When they passed to the age of the Anglo-Sax , ms their vestiges in that country surrounded them on every side. The names of places familiar as house hold words marked their residences. And here he might observe that the main reason why the lan guage of the Anglo-Saxon had survived the Nor man invasion, and finally supplanted the language of the Conqueror, did not appear to him to have been clearly stated by our historians. He believed the reason to be really this. The language that men spoke in after life was formed in the nursery ; it was learned from the lips of the mother. The adventurers of Scandinavian origin who established themselves in Normandy did not select their wives in Scandinavia, but in France, and thus their chil dren learnt in the nursery the French language. In like manner, when they conquered tho e who were still unmarried had the boo i t sto to seek their wit es among the Saxons, and thus the lan- gunge of the mothers naturally became that of the childre2, and being also the language of the servants employed in the household, the French language necessarily waned, receded, and at last became merged into the domestic element of the Anglo-saxon, retaining only such of is native liveliness and adaptability to metrical rhyme and cadence as enriched the earliest utterance of our English poetry in the muse, at once grave and spoi!ive, at once courtly and popular, which in spired the lips of Chaucer. (Cheers.) In the county in which they were assembled were the scenes of fierce, heroic conflict between the Saxons and the Danes. Where now stood the town of Ware anchored the light vessels which constituted the Danish navy as it sailed from London along the Thames to the entrance of the river Lea. There they besieged the town of llertford, and there the remarkable genius of Alfred the Great, at once astute and patient, studying the nature of the river, diverted its stream into three channels, and stranded the Danish vessels, which thus became an easy prey to the Londoners. (Cheers.) Nor was the coun try destitute of memorials of the turbulent ages which followed the Norman conquest. When Prince Louis of France invaded England no stronghold, with the exception of Dover, resisted his siege with more valour or with greater loss to the invaders than the Castle of Hertford, and under the soil around its walls lay the bones of many an invading Frenchman. At St. Alban's, on the 22d of May, 1455, Henry VI. pitched his standard against the armies of the White Rose led by Richard, Duke of York, and the great Earls of Warwick and Salis bury, and then again, on the 17th of February, 1461, Henry VI. was brought from Loudon to be the reluctant witness and representative of a con flict against his Queen, who, however, delivered him from the custody of the Yorkists, and sullied her victory by such plunder and cruelty as a few days afterwards insured the Crown to Edward IV. On the summit of Christ Church tower, at Hadley, was still to be seen the lantern which, according to tra dition, lighted the forces of Edward IV. through the dense fog, which the superstition of the time be lieved to have been raised by the incantation of Friar Bungay, and through the veil of that fog was fought the battle of Barnet, where the power of the great feudal barons expired with Warwick, the king-maker, and a new era in the records of liberty aid civil progress practically commenced. Fur he was convinced from a somewhat careful study of that time that the contest between the houses of York and Lancaster was not a mere dispute of title to the throne, or a mere rivalry for power between the great feudal chiefs. The House of Lancaster with its monkish King represented a more intole rant spirit of Papal persecution ; it was under that house that the great religious reformers had been mercilessly condemned to the gibbet and the flames, and the martyrdom of the Lollards under Henry IV. and Henry V. left a terrible legacy of wrath and doom to Henry VI. Besides the numerous d, seen dants of these Lollards, large bo lies of the Church itself, including the clergy, were favourable to reli gious reform, and these were necessarily alienated fr,in the House of Lancaster and inclined to the house of York. With the House of York, too, were the gre It centres of energy and intelligence, London and the powerful trading cities. The com mercial spirit established a certain familiar sym pathy with Edward IV., who was himself a mer chant, venturing commercial speculations in ships fitted out by himself. Thus the Battle of Barnet was fought between the new ideas and the old, and those new ideas which gave power to the middle class in the reign of II mry VII., and rendered the religious reformation in the reign of Henry VIII. yoyular in spite of its violent excesses, shared at Barnet the victory of the King under whom was established the first printing-press known in Eng land. (Cheers.) But Hertfordshire had also fur nished the birthplace or the home of no inconsider able persons. According to tradition Cashiobury was the Royal seat of Cassibelaunus, and passing to the noble family that now held its domains, it found an owner as brave as its old British possessor in the first Lord Capel, faithful in life and in death to the cause of Charles I. (Cheers.) King's Langley was the birthplace of Edmund de Langley, the brave son of Edward 111., and close beside it was born Nicholas Brakespeare, afterwards Pope Adrian IV. Moor Park was identified with the names of Cardinal Wolsey and the ill-fated Duke of Monmouth. Sir John Mandeville, the famous traveller, who, if he invented his travels, certainly beat them all in the art of romance—(a laugh)— was a native of St. Alban's. Panshanger was as sociated with the name of Cowper, while the de lighted essayist, Charles Lamb, boasted his descent from Hertfordshire. Future archasologists will revere at Brocket the residence of the two distin guished men who swayed the destinies of the coun try in our time as First Ministers of the Crown— Lords Melbourne and Palmerston, akin by family connection, akin still more by the English attributes they held in common—an exquisite geniality of temper united with a robust and simple manli ness of character. (Cheers.) At Hatfield, mem bers of the Association would find a place stored with brilliant memories and associations. There still stood the tower from the window of which, according to tradition, the Princess Elizabeth envied the lot of the humble milkmaid, and there was still seen the trunk of the oak under which she heard the news of her accession to the throne. And what Englishman —nay, what stranger from the foreign nations to which, conjointly with the posterity of his native land, Francis Bacon [ intrusted the verdict to be pronounced on his labours and his name, would not feel that he was on haunted ground when he entered the domain of Gorhambury and examined the re mains of the abode on which the Shakespeare of Philosophy united the most various knowledge of mankind with the deepest research into the secrets of nature and the elements of human thought ? (Cheers.) After remarking that almost every town, hamlet, or manor house in Hertfordshire was invested with historical attractions, Lord Lytton in conclusion said—So long as we keep the past before us as a guide, we have, speaking humanly, and with due submission to the decrees of Providence, some power to shape the future, so as to preserve, throughout all its changes, that na tional spirit without which the unity of a race dis appears. It has been vouchsafed to England to diffuse her children and her language amid realms unknown to the ambition of Alexander, and spread ing far beyond the boldest flight of the Homan eagles. (Cheers.) Ages hence, from the shores of Auszalasia acid Areetica, pilgrims will visit this land as the birthplace of their ancestors, and vene rate every relic of our glorious if chequered past, from the day of the Druid to that in which we live. For while we speak we are making history, and becoming in our turn the ancients to posterity. May no future Gibbon trace to the faults of our times the causes which insure the decline and fall of umpire! Century after century may our des cende.nts in those vast new worlds, compared to which Europe itself shrinks into the di mensions of a province or a shire, find still flourish ing on these ancestral shores, not ashamed to num ber the men of this day among its fathers, a race adc rued by the graces of literature and enriched by the stores of science ! May they find still un impAired, and sacred alike from superstition and abelisf, th 3 altars of Christian faith ! Still may our havens and docks be animated by vessels fitted for commerce abroad, and armed in case of need for defence at borne; Still may our iustitations and our liberties find the eloquence of freemen and patriots in our legislative halls, and the ermine of justice be unsullied by a spot in the courts where she adjudicates between man and man ! These are the noblest legacies we receive from the past, and while we treasure these at every hazard and through every change, the soul of England will retain vitality to her form, and no arcba3logist will seek her grave amid the nations that have passed away. The noble President resumed his seat amid con tinued applause. Lord HOUGHTON desired on behalf of the associ ation to return their best thanks for the speech which had been delivered to them by one in whom they all recognized the master of fiction, and who, though the first of our novelists, was not the last of our barons. (Cheers and laughter.) Their noble president, not content with the success which he bad achieved in the different paths of English literature, had gone into the arena of political life, and had shown by his example that it was possible for a man of letters to be at the same time a man of action. (Cheers.) The Bishop of ROCHESTER, in seconding the mo tion, expressed a hope that the spirit of explora tion which had brought so many visitors to the neighbourhood would be attended by a spirit of restoration, which would be perceptible in the fu ture appearance of the noble Abbey of St. Alban's. Lord LYTTON, in acknowledging the compliment, expressed his gratification at being able, in so short a time, to show their visitors so many of the beau ties of Hertfordshire. (Laughter and cheers.) He trusted that some of them would at some future time renew their acquaintance with those charming objects, whose chief attraction could scarcely be said to be their antiquity. (Cheers and laughter.) Later in the afternoon the members of the asso ciation paid a visit to the Abbey of St. Alban's, where, under the guidance of Mr. Gordon Hills, they were instructed in the history of that noble building, and in the evening a dinner was given in the Townhall, under the presidency of Lord Lytton. To-day an excursion will be made to Redbourne and to Dunstable. REC:NT ACCIDENTS.—A telegram sent from Philadelphia,!on Wednesday, announces a fear:al accident as having occurred on the previous day on the Memphis and Ohio Railroad, near Clarksville, Tennessee. A pas senger train fell through a bridge, and all the cars but one were burnt, six persons being killed and thirty wounded. TLis follows with but little interval on the Erie Railroad accident of Wednesday, July 14, of which we have now full details by mail. The night express from New York at 6.30 p.m., ran into a freight train while going at a speed of 35 miles an hour, the carriages being driven into each other, shutting up like a telescope ; then, catch ing fire they were burnt up, ten persons killed, and fifteen others dangerously Lin t. This accident was caused by the engine-driver of the freight train. At Mast- Hope station a freight train remains upon a siding until two passenger trains which do not stop there have passed. The driver was roused up from his sleep at mid night cn hearing the first train rush by, and believing it to be the second got his own into motion, and a hen on the track the "express" came up, and this dread ful accident was the result. Some of the circumstaeces attending the catastrophe are of peculiar horror. The way in which the carriages had been driven into each other crushed the passengers between the timbers, and held them there while the fire progressed, which burnt them to death. Among the victims was the Rev. S. B. Hallock, of East Fourteenth-street, New York, who seems to have borne his fate with an extraordinary resignation and com posure, conversing with his fellow-passengers who were trying to release him, and when it became evident that there was no hope, conveying, through them, his last directions. Ile was accompanied by his brother-in-law, who used every effort in vain to extricate his legs from the timbers between which they were jammed. His body was the least burnt, the others recovered being charred beyond recognition. The train started with nine cars, namely, one postal car, one A. and G. W. express and baggage car, ono Erie baggage car, a smoking car, one dty passenger car, and four sleeping coaches. Both locomotives were completely shattered, the express one being overturned, and, scattering its fire, caused the conflagration. The only witness of the collision was the flagman of the freight train and a German who lives near, who, beieg aroused by the fire, came up to aid. The for ward cars presented a heap of ruins, but those in rear comparatively escaped injury, and the passengers in them were able to give what little assis!anco could be tendered. One gentleman, John Hunt, was jammed between the seats with his leg broken, and was fairly dragged by main strength from the ruins just in time to save his life. The spot was a curve of the line round which the express dashed, just as the freight train got on the track, but singular to relate the engineers and firemen escaped with slight injuries; how they are both unable to tell. The station is situated at a bend in the Delaware River, around which the road runs a few rods from the shore. In the back-ground a range of hills rises, sloping down to the water's edge. All those burnt to death were in the smoking car, through which the baggage car was almost entirely driven, pinning the passengers to the seats. The station was totally de stroyed, as were nearly all the mails, and out of 157 articles of baggage only 11 were preserved. Most of the passengers were German emigrants. Mr. Halleck was born at Brookhaven, L. 1., Feb. 24, 1804. He commenced preaching in 1838, and was settled over the Fifth So ciety of the Universalist Church, and was also Principal of the Mechanics' Institute School. He retired from the pulpit about 12 years ago. This gentleman was a prominent Mason and Odd Fellow, and had written a book on Odd Fellowship. He was also publisher of The Ambassador, now Leader, and for several years editor of an Odd Fel lows' periodical. Mr. Hallock was on his way to Ilillowog, Broome County, at the time of his death. His remains will be interred at Binghampton. The coroner's verdict attributes the accident to the recklessness of James Griffin, engineer of the freight train, exonerating every one else from blame, and a warrant being issued, Griffin was imme diately arrested at Snlamanca, and brought to Groat Bend the same evening. The railroad men speak very highly of Miller's patent couplers and buffers, which were on the cars except the smoking car, and which undoubtedly saved the train from a general breaking up. Attention has been directed by the frequency of these accidents to the neces sity of employing iron cars, as the most serious catastophes always end in fire, indeed many of the victims would have escaped with but little injury had they not been jammed or penned into a burning carriage, as was the case in the terrible accident in England on the Holyhead line.—A train ran off the Union Pacific Railroad, near Antelope station, 450 miles west of Omaha, whereby the engine, baggage car, and three passenger cars were smashed up. A fireman and a passenger named Duyer, of Maryland, were killed ; the engineer, Nicholas Weeks of Maine, and two passengers, Alexander Wagstaff of St Louis, and John Steele of Cumberland, England, were badly injured. The accident was caused, as have been several others, by heavy rains undermining the road. A discharged soldier was killed by another passenger train getting off the track, and a freight train in the same place had just run off the road. An excursion train went through a bridge near Lawrence, Kansas, on the 14th inst., and, among others, the following gentlemen were injured : .—J. D. Herkemer, General Superintendent of the St Louis and Indianapolis Railroad, slightly ; Jno. Perkins, Presi dent of the Bank of Commerce of Cleveland, slightly ; Frank Ford, Chief Engineer of the Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati Road—an ugly scalp wound in the head ; ho is otherwise seriously but not fatally injured; E. S. Flint, Superintendent of the same road, slightly; Lucien Hills, of the same road, wounded about the head, and otherwise injured, but not danger ously; E. King, Treasurer of the Cleveland, Colum bus, and Indianapolis Road, right arm fractured ; J. C. Noyes, Freight Agent of the Indianapolis and St. Louis Road, badly, but not supposed fatally injured ; Eben Noyes, of St. Louis, slightly; General Graft, of the Terre Haute Express, injured about the head and shoulders ; J. D. Beach, of the Bank of Terre Haute, badly bruised and jammed ; B. W. Hanna, Attorney of the Indianapolis and St. Louis Road, left leg hurt and otherwise bruised ; Wm. Mack, of Terre Haute, bad wound on nose and face ; Gen. Coburn, of Indiana, slightly injured; Gen. Burnett, of Cleveland, seriously injured ; Roderick King slightly hurt ; Joseph Barnard, conductor, badly hurt; James Robot is (coloured), badly hurt and burn .d ; a brakeman, supposed to be fatally injured ; Charles Hicks, of Cleve land, slightly injured; H. N. Johnson, of The Cleveland Herald, slight fracture of his arm. A tremendous smash occurred on the Chicago, Rock Island, and Pacific Rail road near Peru, by two freight trains running into each other, whereby nine cars were demolished, but no one was hurt. T. French and Challoner left Goodwood on Friday evening en route to Deauville, where the former is engaged to ride Honesty and Friday, and the latter for the Duke of Hamilton on Sunday. [ADvEirrisEmExT.] —Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— Childreu's Complaints.—While the weekly roturn of mor tality shows a decrease of deaths from smallpox it displays an &arming increase in fatal cases of measles and scarla tina. Such unfortunate issue would not result wore mothers and nurses to rub Holloway's ointment upon the glands of the neck, upper part of the chest, and upon the loins, when symptoms of scarlet fever or measles first ap pear; or, oven after the eruption has come out, the lungs and kidneys would ho relieved. The ointment penetrating, through the skin to the glands always stimulates them o throw out a full eruption, which is the safety valve of both diselses. Holloway's pills should be given to lessen ;be fever, and reduce the irritation. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 3, 1869. IRELAND, At a meeting of the Cork Town Council, on Monday, a letter from the Chief Secretary was read, announcing that the Government considered it necessary to maintain an additional force of fifty police in the city during the winter, the Corporation paying half the expense. The Town Council protested against the measure as unneces my, the city being perfectly tranquil. The city mem• hers were called on to resist the proposal. On Mr. O'Sullivan's motion a petition was adopted praying Par liament to prevent further Ulster demonstrations, which w ere described by him as offensive to Catholics. He ridi culed the idea of Protestants and Catholics uniting, when the former had trampled on the latter so long. A demonstration took place in Limerick on Monday in favour of the release of the Fenian prisoners. Twenty thousand persons, from Clare, Limerick, and Tipperary, including the organised trades, are said to have proceeded through the city with banners and bands. An open-air meeting was subsequently held, which adopted a letter to Mr. Gladstone, demanding the release of the prisoners in the name of the Irish people. The Corporation of Dublin have unanimously elected Mr. Purdon, a Conservative, to be Lord Mayor for the next year. A Fenian demonstration has been expected at the Glasnevin Cemetery, Dublin, but, has not occurred. The Cemetery Committee having refused to allow a memorial cross to be erected, with a Fenian inscription, to the memory of Stephen O'Donoghue, a law clerk, who was shot by the police at Tallaght during the last rising, the national sympathisers were very indignant, and it was intimated to the authorities that an attempt would be made to put up the monument in spite of the committee. A force of fifty constables was stationed in the burial ground on Saturday to prevent any outrage, and on Sun day the force was increased to 300 men, but, perhaps owing to the effective precautions which were taken, the threatened Fenian expedition was abandoned. THE NOTTINGHAM ELECTION PETITION. Mr. Baron Martin, in giving judgment on the Notting ham election petition, said he thought Mr. Serjeant Parry and Mr. Serjeant Ballantine had come to a reason able conclusion in saying that the petition should be abandoned, and the respondent not press for costs. The petition contained two allegations. In the first place, it declared the seat had been lost by rsason of bribery and treating. Evidence was given of only two cases of bribery, and they both failed on the petitioner's own case. Four shillings and sixpence waspaid to each man, an 3 that would have to cover the day's services as " lambs," as well as buying the vote With respect to treating, there was no evidence what. ever ; for the treating must be shewn to be for the purpose of affecting the voting. Nothing at all of that kind had been proved, and the case failed there also. As to intimidation, which was the other allegation relied upon, he did not see that any evidence had been given, for he did not think the section of the Act of Parliament relied upon meant such a general state of things merely as it had been sought to prove, but required specific instances. There was, however, the general statement made in the petition, and, as he thought, very properly put in, that there was rioting in the town. No doubt, if that occurred to such an extent as to prevent per sons of reasonable nerve from going to the poll it would void the election by the common law, for the common law said that persons being voters should have an opportunity of recording their votes. But the rioting must be such as to affect persons of ordinary nerve. lie only need say on this part of the case that, according to the petitioners themselves, there was nothing of the sort. The only man who said he was deterrred from ♦ooing was the witness Armstrong, and he was not a per son one was likely to believe. If a general state of riot and obstruction had existed there could have been no diffi culty in finding persons who bad been prevented from Toting ; they would have come forward to say so. Then, as to the hiring of "lambs," Mr. Serjeant Parry had cor rectly stated that no persons were hired on the part of Mr. Seymour. He gave full belief to Mr. Seely's account of how these " lambs" came to be employed ; nevertheless, he must protest against the engagement of such persons. The proper course would have been to have gone to the mayor and insisted upon a sufficient number of respect. able persons being engaged to keep the peace of the town. It was for the authorities to see to that being done, not for candidates to attempt it. In conclusion, he thought this petition had come to a proper conclusion, and that all parties should be satisfied with the result. He had only to declare Mr. Seely duly elected, and he should report to that effect to the House of Commons. LAW AND POLICE. TRADE MAnrs.—ln the Rolls Court, on Monday, a question respecting trade marks was discussed. The defendant was a car ter named Broad, who was formerly in the employment of the plaintiff, Mr. Borwick, the maker of the taking powder, and it was cop• plained that he had set up in business against him, and imitated his labels. The plaintiff's counsel said that he had altered his in 1866, rather than go to law, but that the defendant copied the alteration very closely. The Master of the Rolls did not think the resemblance strong enough to justify sal injunction. He would, therefore, give leave to bring an action. PRESUMPTION ()F DEATH.—A curious question as to the law as to presumption of death where the individual has not been heard of for several years has been tried by Vice. Chancellor James. A man, named Nicholas Phene was in the American Marine Service in 1858, and corresponded with his mother in England. He was never heard of after 1860, and the point was that if he was alive six months after that date, the petitioners would be entitled to a legacy. It was argued on their behalf that a man must not be presumed to be dead until after the lapse of seven years. Vice• Chancellor James said he should have thought the rule was that the presumption of a man's death at the end of seven years' disappearance was a matter of law, but that the date of his death within that period was matter of evidence. But he could not venture to differ from a rule adopted by Vice• Chancellors Kindersley and Malins. The petitioners must, therefore, be held entitled, but the fund should be retained till Michaelmas to enable the parties to appeal if they thought fit. MR. BRIERLT AGAIN.--At the opening of the Middlesex Sessions, on Monday, before Mr. Serjeant Cox, Mr. Brierly, the barrister, who is affected in his mind, came into the court with two large stones, which a policeman took from him. He applied to the Serjeant to have them returned, and made so much disturbance that he had to be forcibly removed from the court, and was ordered into custody. After this painful scene Mr. Cooper rose and said be thought something should be done to provide for Mr. l3rierly, and the judge said it was intended to take some steps. It was rumoured that he is to be sent to Han well. CHARGE AGAINST THE POLICE.—At Lambeth Police. court, on Monday, a police-constable was charged with assaulting Mr. Rowsell, at the Crystal Palace. Mr. Row sell was at the Crystal Palace on the day of the visit of the Viceroy of Egypt. In order to seethe display of fireworks, he, with some others, got on the tables in the third-class refreshment-room. The constable came up and ordered him off and eventually knocked him off. Another gentle man and his wife who were present confirmed this evi- dence, and complained of the constable's conduct ; but, on the other hand, two officers of the force swore that the defendant was not in that part of the Palace at all. The magistrate said he had no doubt that some constable had behaved most improperly, and if the defendant was not the officer ho thought the Commissioners of Police were bound to find out the culprit. He could not decide the case then, but would order an adjournment to allow further investigation. The case excited much interest. CHARGE OF LIBEL.—At the Manchester Assizes a libel case was tried on Monday before Mr. Justice Hannen. The defendant, Mr. Heap, is editor and cm ductor of the Bury Times, and the action arose out of the late election. The plaintiffs, Messrs. Oram, are manufacturers in the town, and the letter in the Bury Times charged them with discharging workmen who voted against their wishes. Verdict for the plaintiff— Damages, £5O. The new office to be created at the Admiralty will bo conferred upon Mr. E. J. Reed, the Chief Constructor, with an addition to his present salary of .£5OO. lie will henceforth be deciguated as the Assistant-Controller of the Navy, under Sir Spencer Robinson, we prebume. UNSEASONABLIS.—The too - prevalent habit of sleeping in church is the occasion of many queer incidents and good stories. A well-known citizen lately fell asleep in a country church. Ire was finally disturbed by the touch of a contribution-box in the hands of one of the churchwardens, who was making a collection ; but without opening his eyes the sleeper ejaculated, " Season !" and sank back to resume his nap. It is unnecessary to say that he was a season-ticket holder on a railway. ONE TO HIS lloLiNzss. —The Pope's sense of humour is proverbial in Rome, and he gave a good example of it the other day to a corporation of bakers, who asked an audience of him in order to remonstrate against the new and excellent public oven, whicii supplies far better bread on much lower terms than they had been in the habit of making. This interference with their long-enjoyed monopoly was, of course, although a great popular benefit, a grievous injury in their eyes. "Holy Father," said the spokesman, " it is very hard on us ; we have worked so long for the public benefit." "It is quite true, my son," replied the Pope ; " and it is high time YOU rested a little, and let other people work."„ MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. TUE BISHOPRIC OF SALISBIIRY. The death of the Bishop of Salisbury gives Mr. Gladstone an important piece of ecclesiastical patron age, and Dr. Wordsworth, Bishop of Lincoln, a seat in the House of Lords. Speculation has already commenced as to who will have the bishopric. It is worth £5,000 a year. There are the usual rumours of great changes. A cor respondent who writes to us thinks, how ever, the late Bishop's opinion will have weight. " Frequently, during his illness, Dr. Hamilton expressed an earnest hope that in the event of his death, Mr. 11. Parry Liddon, his chaplain, might succeed to the bishopric; and as both the late Bishop and Mr. Liddon were intimate friends of the Prime Minister, it is more than probable that the right rev. prelate's wish will be carried into effect." The offer of tLe Deanery of Durham to Mr. Liddon tends to make this appointment probable. SALISBURY ELECTION. Three candidates are already in the field for the representation of Salisbury—Mr. Alfred Seymour, Mr. Marsh, and Mr. Ryder. The first-named gentle man comes forward as a strong supporter of the present Government, and is in favour of vote by ballot. Mr. Marsh sat for the city fr om 1857 till last November, when he retired. He was one of the most prominent Adullamites during the stormy career of the Reform Bill of 1800, and "holds himself bound to no party in the country." Ile addressed a meeting on Saturday evening, expressing himself as always having been in favour of " Constitutional moderation." He referred to the land question in Ireland,and thought that the remedy was more social than political, but he had the fullest confidence in the ability of the present Government to deal with it. Having seen the operation of the Ballot in Australia, he had come to the conclusion that it was quite ineffectual in accomplishing what was intended— namely, secret voting. Mr. Ryder, the defeated Conservative candidate last November, in his address, says he is a Liberal-Conservative, and that though he would not give a factious opposition to the present Government, he should yet oppose any extreme measure which might be brought forward by them. The writ for the election was received on Saturday; the nomination has been fixed for to-morrow, and the polling on Thursday. THE BALLOT. The journalistic barometer points to "change.' The Times records the progress of public opinion by a guarded leader, in which, whilst careful not to give the Ballot too much praise—that of course would be premature—it admits that secret voting looms in the distance. The report of the Committee on Parliamentary and Municipal Elections clearly emits the opinion that, though the importance of the Ballot has been exaggerated, yet secrecy during the progress of the polling must be of value. "A great step will be gained when the elector may give his vote and not have it declared till some days after, when the question is decided, when the excitement is over, and single votes are of no importance. Final publicity is sufficient to secure against fraud; nor can final publicity be objected to, for even if a man could leave it doubtful how he will vote till after the election, he will be sure to let it out very soon after." It is to be presumed, too, that the Ballot will stop treating. 'Therefore, though evidently hampered with the recollection of its past onslaughts upon secret voting, the leading journal gives its adhesion to the forthcoming change. ANOTHER ATLANTIC CAELE. We are threatened with an Atlantic Cable mania. Hardly a wee's now passes without its preliminary prospectus for a telegraph line between the Old World and the New. Wales and Cornwall have already had held out to them the advantages which would accrue if they could only send direct messages to America. Scotland also is not behindhand, would appear indeed to be foremost, in promoting means of communication with Canada and the United States. The London Scotsman seems to think the laying of a Scotch cable not merely as possible or probable, but as pretty nearly certain. The first steps, it points out, have already been taken; Mr. Nathaniel Holmes is preparing to lay down a line between Thurso and the Orkneys, and he wishes to carry it across the ocean. The London Scotsman adds that this gentleman is laying down lines under the impression that the Govern ment will take them over when he has done the work. FANNY OLIVER. The case of the condemned woman, Fanny Oliver, now lying under sentence of death in Worcestel Gaol, convicted of having poisoned her husband, ix causing some little excitement. The Telegraph, at we have already noticed, has taken up her cause, and several of the leading citizens of Birmingham are agitating for a reprieve. There are two objections to her execution : she is a woman, and a remota possibility exists that the scientific witness on whom the case depends may have made a mistake. The first argument has convinced the sympathetic; the latter is used by them to their more hard-hearted friends. Some doctors, many solicitors, ministers of religion, and others haw signed a memorial to 111 r. Bruce, asking for further inquiry into the case. The Mayor of Birmingham Las attached his name to the petition. THE WEATHER IN JUL(.. The extraordinary freaks which the clerk of the weather has played us during the last few seasons render the catalogue of the month's variations of temperature a matter of interest. July, however, has been more in accordance with its character than its immediate predecessors, and though cold and polar winds blew continuously during the first few days, they gave way after the 4 th to an eq uatorial thermal current, which lasted with little change through the month, so that the temperature was after all higher than the average for the last fifty years. The hottest day was the 10th, when the mean temperature was 73 deg., whereas the average mean of the last 50 years was, according to Mr. Glaisher, 62.9 deg. As might be expected, several fatal cases of sunstroke are recorded; but the first fortnight of the month was remarkably healthy. Great varia tions were perceptible in the temperature of the n i g hts and early mornings. The night ranged from 49 deg. on the Ist, to 65 on tho 13th, while there was an even greater difference between the morning of the 3rd and the 23 rd. Rain has been very scanty, St. Swithin being favourable, and the earth in many places is parched and fissured with the drought. ITAILVESTING BY HOT BLAST. Mr. Gibbs complains of the statement that was made in the Times' report of the trial of his harvesting process at Manchester. It was said that it required a shed ten times the size of the one used to deal with the grain crops of an average farm. This is denied by Mr. Gibbs, but he says that the system remains the same, and it was for the system, and not the shed, that the Royal Agricultural Society offered their gold medal. Ile claims to have fully earned the offered medal, having proved his system to be both practical and economical, and declares that if it is withheld from him the society will forfeit all claim to confidence. In reference to the above the Times observes that the judges could hardly be expected to award the medal for a process that dried so slowly as at tho rate of 128 sheaves per hour ? and it is because Mr. Gibbs's invention is so promising that it again asks him to shew, in actual operation, a hot-blast, drying sheaves as rapidly as a set of carters can bring them to the apparatus, and keeping, at least, one set of stackers busy. MOBBING ROYALTY. The Prince and the Princess of Wales have gone to Wildbad; therefore—it follows as night the day —half the fashionable world must also go there. Why, it is difficult to say. The Times puts it down to " exuberant loyalty." If this is the real reason for the mobbing which princes so often get, might it not be suggested to the overflowing loyalists that their first duty is to administer to the comfort and pleasure of those for whom they are so fond of demonstrating their devo tion ; their Royal Highnesses, now in Germany, have gone to get quiet and repose. Is it a demon stration of loyalty to deprive them of what they undoubtedly need ? TITE DETECTIVES. The Detective of Romance—sharp, quick, far seeing, never-failing, following up the slightest clue with the nicest accuracy—has long ago been proved to have existence in Fancy's pages only. The public sometime since thought it had discovered that the geniuses of Scotland Yard were but clumsy men, doing easy work with great facility. Their intelligence is not of the highest ; and that " instinct ' on which novellists have been wont to dilate—the remarkable propensity with which they have been accredited of finding out, from the colour of the carpet in a room, where crime has been committed, the height, dress, general appearance, and likely whereabouts of the criminal—is as absent from their character as it is from most of us. The fact is un doubted that, on thewhole, the detectivedepartment of our police service has of late signally failed to do its duty. Recent events have revealed how the search for the criminal has been a race for money ; so much energy has been expended on fights between divisions, that the public has been poorly served. What is wanted is some surer system of hunting out criminals. The Telegraph thinks this end may best be reached by the appointment of a " great presiding mind." The number of detectives may be increased ; but they are, our contemporary con siders, but chessmen on a board ; somebody ►rust move them, and put them in their proper places. The Telegraph would give such an one power, but it would have him the best man -in the country. To arrest a wretch for pocket-picking in the streets at broad day is a comparatively little matter. A plan is required by which the dark deeds of the earth may I)e brought to light. • EMIGRATION, The guardians of Whitechapel who have had to deal with much of the distress in the East-end, which has led to the adoption of Government emigration, record an opinion on the subject which is' worthy of attention. They have considered the levy of a penny rate in the metropolis, for the purpose of furthering the exportation of the poor, and they have rejected the proposal. They do so on the ground that the distress is not chronic. Perhaps the guardians are hardly qualified to decide this question; it is one of political economy. It is not disrespectful to them either to say that their decision may have been caused by a dislike of rating their constituents. They do not, it may be observed, object to a national rate for the same purpose. A GREAT CHARITABLE WORK. An exceptionally noble work of charity was com pleted and dedicated at Erdington, near Birming ham, on Saturday. " Josiah Mason's Almshouses and Orphanage" were transferred to the trustees. This great institution cost £OO,OOO, and is endowed with a further sum of £200,000. Its object is twofold. One small building is to be maintained as almshouses for twenty-six women, either widows or unmarried, at the discretion of the trustees, and not under the age of fifty years. Each inmate is provided with a fur nished house, coal, gas, &c. A larger building is designed as an asylum for an indefinite number of orphans, to be fixed by the trustees, provided always that the number of boys be not more than half the number of girls. At present the total is 150. Mr. Mason, who has made a large fortune in trade at Birmingham, commenced his charitable undertaking on a small scale in 1858. It gradually grew in his hands until it has reached its present proportions. The charity is now handed over to the care of trustees. After Mr. Mason's death, seven official trustees are to be elected by the Town Council of Birmingham—so that practically the charity is a gift to the Corporation of that city. Mn, PEABODY. We regret to have to announce that Mr. Peabody is still in a very feeble condition. The great philan thropist has not improved in health by his voyage across the Atlantic, or his residence in the United States. His public appearances are now most im pressive. Everyone respects him ; many in the United States, as in England, worship him ; finding him weak and ill, all are full of sympathy and love for him. This manifest feeling shews more truly what is the public estimate of Mr. Peabody than the most rapturous applause. GENTLEMEN NOTE. " Silken tresses " is no longer a poetic expression ; henceforth it is hard, sober fact. Gentlemen of the " spoony " turn of mind must, therefore, be careful ; it will be no compliment to use the phrase in regard to a lady's hair. For the Daily News tells us that silk itself is now used as a substitute for human hair, and it can be had very cheap. The righteous indig nation of the lovely maiden on being told she wears silken tresses may be (as the penny-a-liners say) better imagined than described. THE INDIAN RAILWAYS. To none is the question of Indian railways of greater interest than to the Cotton Supply Associa tion, and by none has the an nouncement th a t t h e Government will in future cArry on the work of construction been received with greater satiaLc tion. The carriage of Indian c o tt on f rom t h e districts where it is grown to the sea coast is a matter of as much importance as the rearing of the plant itself. The Duke of Argyll has promised, in answer to representations from the association, to push on the Indian lines with special reference to the cotton-growing regions. The India Office will likewise organise agricultural instructors, who, in conjunction with the collectors of districts, will, beside their duty in promoting the best methods of agriculture, obtain statistics relative to cereal and textile produce. THE FAN DOMINGO LOAN. The CiLy editors of the metropolitan journals have got up rather a lively quarrel about the proposed loan to the Government of San Domingo. On the one hand, it is asserted that General Luperon is trying to bring about a revolution, that he is likely to be successful, and that if he does overturn the ex isting Government the money subscribed to this loan will be lost. On the other hand, it is maintained that though General Luperon did capture Samana a little while ago, he was compelled to return to his ships in three days, and that the Government of President Baez, who applies for the loan, is firmly established. The matter may be briefly summed up. The credit of San Domingo is bad, its internal condi tion is little known, and it is at least liable to a revolution. Those who subscribe to the loan, therefore, do so at a very great risk. FOREIGN NOTES. TUE JJIIMICAN DEBT. A cable telegram informs us that the debt of the United States has been reduced during the month of July by seven and a qiiarter millions of dollars. The Govern. ment intends to boy ten millions of bonds during the month of August, or, in other words, to redeem that quan tity of debt. The American people do not weary of the burden of taxation which is necessary in order to pay off these enormous sums. The resolution to clear off the liabilities of the nation is the one point on which all parties seem unanimous. ANNEXATION FEELING IN CANADA. The Philadelphia Public Ledger thinks that a great change in favour of annexation to the United States is noticeable in British North America. In Nova Scotia a great number of public men and five or six daily and weekly journals openly advocate annexa tion. In New Brunswick, an editor, who three years ago took the other side of the question, is now much more violent in the expression of sentiments of an opposite character, favouring annexation. The repre sentative of the city of St. John, in the Provincial Legis lature, has introduced in that body a resolution declaring in favour of annexation, and in the province of Edward's Island two newspapers advocate the same policy. THE CONFEDERATE EMIGRATION. Deplorable as the people of the South consider their lot, they find themselves better off in the United States than elsewhere. It is remarkable that all the schemes of emi gration which were formed by the Confederates after the last defeat of their armies have failed utterly. Some Southerners went to the sheep-walks of Buenos Ayres, others to Mexico ; but they all came back again. A party which thought to establish a colony for the culture of cotton, sugar, and coffee in the interior of Brazil has just given up the attempt and returned to the States. This is the last of the emigration parties. THE EDUCATION OF WOMEN. The trustees of Cornell University have resolved to do something for the higher education of women. They have decided to admit 100 girls, and are devising means for their employment, that they, like the male pupils, may by their own labour pay the whole or part of their expenses for board and education. A. few, it is thought, can at once be received and placed at domestic work of different kinds. THZ FRENCII ATLANTIC CABLE. the owners of the French Atlantic Cable have little to fear respecting a refusal of Congress to allow it to be permanently established in the United States. Whatever may be the law on the subject, the Americans are shrewd enough to see that the cable will be highly beneficial to their own interests, and they are, accordingly, determined to have it. Some of the New York papers even complain that Mr. Secretary Fish raised any question about the landing of the cable. Some parties connected with the existing English cable are charged with " lobbying " against the French line. The directors indeed, have wisely refrained from any hostility; but, according to the Times City article, "it is plain, from what is stated in New York, that some parties there who are understood to be connected with the company have been pursuing a different course, and have exposed them selves, from the transparency of their motives, to severe criticism." The new French line will open for business on the 15th of August. THE CA/MIST OUTBREAK. - Though the police are still hard at work making arrests In Madrid and the provinces, though the agitation still continues at som e po i nts, i t becomes more than ever clear that the Carlist rising is a failure. Dissension amongst the partisans of the Pretender has done much to dissipate what little chance they may have had. Many of the partisans of Queen Isabella have joined the cause of Don Carlos, and these have acquired such influence as to disgust Cabrera and the old supporters of the family. It is certain that Cabrera, the only general who could have entertained the smallest hope of subduing General Prim, held back from some cause or other, and has had no connection with this rising. His abstention was of itself sufficient to decide the contest against his party. The letters from Spain agree in stating that the move• ment has met with no sympathy whatever from the mass of the people. The correspondent of the Standard re marks that a few lines daily in the Official Gazette are sufficient to record its progress, or rather the progress of its suppressors, while whole columns are taken up by telegrams directed to the Government from every city, town, and village in the Peninsula, offering supp(xt to the authorities, and from volunteers of liberty, asking to be led against the Carlists. The Government has acted with great candour, allowing every telegram, as it came into the offices at Madrid, to be copied by the repre- sentatives of the press. This has done much to reassure the people. It is a great pity, though, that a little more news was not allowed to cross the frontier.
