BEST.,EY, Mayor.—A COMMON COUNCIL, holden in the Chamber of the Guildhall of the City of London, on Thursday the 18th day of November, 1869 Resolved unanimously, "That the best thanks of this Court be presented to the Right Hon. James Clarke Lawrence, M.P., into Lord Mayor of this City, for the valuable services so efficiently rendered during his year of office. This Court has wit nessed with the highest satisfaction the manner in which, in the discharge of the important duties of his office, his Lordship exercised those qualities by which the char acter and dignity of the position of Chief Magistrate of the City of 'London have been maintained. This Court especially recognises the judgment his lordship dis played when presiding over its deliberations, and is of opinion that, in combining firmness with consideration Le greatly contributed to the successful conduct of business, and advanced the important interests con nected with the Corporation. This Court also desires to express its high approval of his great ability in the ad ministration of justice, its sincere gratification in his able advocacy of works of general philanthropy, and would record his generous liberaliiy in dispensing the hospitali ties of the Mansion House, for which in every respect he is entitled to the warm and sincere acknowledgments of this Court hereby presented to him. Whilst with pleasure recognising the gracious act of her Majesty the Queen in visiting this City to open Blackfriars Bridge and the Hol born Valley Viaduct, this Court sincerely congratulates the late Lord Mayor upon the intimation of her Majesty's intention to confer upon him the dignity of a baronet — an honour personal to himself, but fully appreciated by the Corporation of London."

OF the three elections which have just been decided, that for the Universities of Glasgow and Aberdeen alone presents any special interest. Mr. W. IT. GLA DSTONE' s return for Whitby is only the natural result of a second battle with an opponent who was defeated last November by 376 votes. The Hastings election was merely- the defeat of local popularity in the person of Mr. ROBERT:ION, the Conset vative, by party union in the person of Mr. K AY-SHUTTLE WORTH. But the contest for the Scotch Universities is an improving lesson. It shows that though in these days party spirit still counts for a great deal, yet personal merit must not lie overlooked. Lastyearthe Liberals carried the Universities by a majority of 67 on a poll of above 4,000. This year by the selection of an unsuitable candi date their slight superiority was soon wasted away, and the Conservatives have won by some GOO - votes. Mr. &mu, the Liberal candidate, is a gentleman of respectable position, but his claims to represent a learned constituency have yet to be revealed. His THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVEcING, NOVEMBER 20, 1869 address was ludicrously vague, and his sub sequent speeches were marked by a vacil lation and lack of fixed ideas which contrasted painfully with the ability and precision of his oppo nent. There can be no doubt that the issue is due simply to the disparity between •the candidates as individuals. The fact is, that the increased and increasing influence of the House of Commons, and the responsibilities which weigh upon its members, render it imperatively necessary that our legislators should have some qualifications for their office. Rank and influence ought to have consideration, doubtless. There are cases where great social position and moderate abilities may justly be pre ferred to great abilities and moderate social position : but the two qualifications ought to be combined in some way. Constituencies in general ought to profit by this lesson ; but if it applies to any one in particular, it is to Chester. The Liberals of that borough have, in the person of the Hon. NORMAN GROSVENOR, a candi date who is the representative of a noble house. But to select as a legislator for this great nation a young man just out of his " teens," who tells the electors that he will announce his opinions as soon as he has formed them, is ridiculous. FRANCE 15 not afflicted with any vacation dull ness. French politics are as exciting, and the state of affairs as grave, as at any time during the last six months. By some speculators, indeed, the present situation is compared to that of 1789 ; and though the analogy fails in the most important particulars, there are undoubtedly some points of resemblance. Now, as then, the Paris populace calls, not for reforms or indulgences, but simply for the downfall of the existing Government. Now, as then, the wildest theorists receive the preference from nume rous great constituencies. As in the last century NECKER and his reformers were succeeded by ➢irna- BEAU, who established the power of the populace ; MIRABEAU by the Girondists, who overthrew the throne ; the GirOndlsts by the DANTON party, who brought about anarchy ; the Dantonists by ROBESPIERRE and the Reign of Terror ; so, comparing small things with great, the favour of the Parisian electors has passed rapidly to the advocates of Revolution. The old Imperialists long ago lost what little hold they possessed upon the French capital ; then fell the Liberals who would be content with a reformed empire ; the moderate Republicans represented by FAVRE came into discredit ; a still extremer shade, of whom GAMBETTA is the type, seems on the wane ; and now ROCHEFORT and the Socialists are the heroes of the hour. Making every allowance for popular ravings, it is surely remarkable that a Government which professedly interferes with national representa tion has not put forth a single candidate for the four seats about to be filled up in Paris. The question is not whether four friends or four enemies of the EMPEROR will be chosen, but whether four Socialists or four Republicans will secure popular favour. The Republicans would prefer to defeat the Emperor by their votes ; the Extremists profess to long for street-fighting. As we have previously shown, the liberty of the press which has been lately granted has produced a good effect in moderating the tone of most, though not all, of the Opposition journals, and the reforms lately conceded have won certain adherents to the Imperial standard. But it is none the less significant that, in spite of these concessions, the Emperor has no chance of electing a single supporter in the capital, and is not attempting to do so. How is it that the Second Empire, whilst making its fairest promises and most reassuring performances, is assailed with such uncompromising hostility ? M. PREVOST PARADOL, in a preface to Aome lectures which he has just delivered to the Edinburgh Philo sophical Institution, endeavours to account for this state of things, and though his explanation is disheartening it deserves the most careful attention. M. PARADOL is the ablest of French journalists, one of the fore most French scholars, one of the most moderate French politicians. Yet even he gives up hope of reconciliation between the Government and the people. Neither party can trust the other. The EMPEROR fears that ary reforms which he might grant would be immediately used for his destruction; the Liberals are convinced that the EMPEROR'S conces sions are merely the result of fear, or intended only as a bait to draw the extreme party into excesses which may justify retrograde measures. Could he be sure of regaining the good-will of his country, NAPOLEON, M. PARADOL is convinced, would make any sacrifice; but nothing that he can do will ever efface the remembrance of the establishment of his Government. The coup d'etat has left an impression which foreigners cannot readily realise. It was an act of disgraceful violence, prefaced by a series of disgraceful intrigues. After gradually sapping the newly-won liberties of the French people, NAPOLEON ruthlessly fired the mine. All men of power or influence, who might have opposed the development of the plotter's schemes were arbitrarily imprisoned, then the Legislature was forcibly dissolved, the people butchered without mercy in the streets, and hundreds of unoffending persons sent off to Cayenne. "If I bring to memory," says M. PARADOL, " that sad day of my youth, if I let my mind dwell upon it for a moment, I am sure to feel my cheeks blushing with shame and my eyes filling with tears. . . There are in our generation some memories, and some passions, too, which no length of time and no pressure of interest can now eradicate from a French heart." Such recollections ought not to last for ever, one would think. There ought, it would seem, to be a Statute of Limitations for bad titles to thrones as well as for bad titles to estates. But it is not for one nation to dictate to another as to when is or is not the time for oblivion. We in England, as M. PARADOL points out, have shown precisely the same distrust of the First NAPOLEON that the French Liberals display towards his successor. When BIIONAPARTE escaped from Elba and reseated him self on the French throne he gave the world the most earnest assurances of peace, but in vain. Europe had lost all confidence in him, and his neighbours at once reopened the war. The feeling of Europe towards NAPOLEON I. was much the same as the feeling of France towards NAPOLEON 111. The more moderate Republicans have this week put forth a manifesto which in some sort seems to contradict M. PARADOL'S theory. With the excep tion of one extreme Red, most of the Republican deputies have met and drawn up a programme demanding further reforms—the abolition of the law which allows suspected persons to be arbitrarily imprisoned, the cessation of official interference with elections, and the like. This mode of carrying on the war is a hopeful sign, for it appeals to con stitutional means for redress, and involves no resort to force. But tjie Republicans thereby give no guarantee for the future. They do not threaten street fighting ; but they make no terms with the EMPEROR. Their manifesto is no promise of a settled form of Government. It may be asked, Where are the famous 110 whose united and timely demand brought about the reforms of last June ? It is ominous that M. PARADOL, who so strongly supported this party a few months ago, now seems to place little confidence in it. But does he not underrate its probable influence? The 110 are the moderate Liberals of the French Legislature, and though not in themselves a majority, they are stronger than any other single party. They promise to support the EstrEnon and his dynasty, but at the same time insist on his following a strictly constitu tional course and casting off all irresponsible rule. In them, if anywhere, lies the hope of a peaceful future for France. The great weakness of the 110 is that they poss3ss no leaders of the highest order, and only one or two second rates. The genius of the French Legislature must be sought amongst the small band of Republicans. 'Where power is, however, a man is generally to be found to wield it ; and if the 116 hokl well together, a.leader cannot long be waiting for such a formidable party. The present Legislature of France is composed of a wrong body of deputies devoted to the EmpEnot—in fact, dependent upon him—the moderate pary, and only about forty Republicans in all. It woul seem that such a division ought to set the Irrecocilables at defiance ; but this strength of the peace party is in great measure not real. The new Pariament has been elected on the principle A official candidates ; the pressure of the Govern ment has been exerted to the utmost to return its supporters ; and the result cannot be taken as a sign of what would happen if the choice of the nation were perfectly free. Thus it is impossible to say that M. PARODOL'S gloomy forebodings may not be realised. But the manifestations of moderation afford, at least, hope of peace—which must be the primary consideration to the rest of Europe. It is not for Englishmen to trouble themselves with party animosities in France. THE BISHOPRIC OF OXFORD. The following valedictory address was presented to the Bishop of Oxford from the clergy of the diocese, in the Hall of All Souls' College, Oxford :—" We, the undersigned clergy of your lordship's diocese of Oxford, have learned with unfeigned sorrow that your lordship's long and much-valued administration of the affairs of this diocese will within a few weeks from this day come to an end. We are are sensible that the offer made to you of a formal recommendation of your lordship's name for election as future Bishop of the see of Winchester is but a just appreciation on the part of her Majesty the Queen of the effectual rule - which your lordship has exec• cised over us during twenty-four years of incessant watch fulness and active labour. At the same time we cannot disguise cur deep regret that an episco pate such as your lordship's, during which so much hearty, earnest, and intelligent vigour has been exhibited, and so much permanent good fruit produced, should determine, while your lordship is blessed with health, and energies to continue among us the great works which, under the blessing of God upon your most constant lab Ours, you have begun and lived to see so well and so fully established. We with sorrow bid your lordship fare well. We are conscious that your able government has earned for this diocese a reputation recognised not only in our own province but in England generally, and through out our gracious Sovereign's dominions, and a name held in estimation in the Church of the United States of America. May God grant to you to find in your new weighty sphere of duty the same hearty co-operation of the clergy and of the laity which your affectionate, con siderate, and judicious course among us has justly won. Lastly, for ourselves, as we do not presume to ask for a reconsideration of your lordship's decision, it remains for us to assure your lordship that your lordship's sympathy with each one of us in his separate difficulties, together with your Lordship's wise and earnest counsels,have taught us so to esteem the office which your Lordship is holding that, apart from other considerations of deepest moment, our reception of your Lordship's successor will be such as becomes a body of clergy led by a spirit of unity among themselves, and by a desire to uphold ecclesiastical autho rity in the diocese, and, far above all, by a faithful and de voted love to Him who, by His servants the Bishops, rules His Church, being Himself the Head of all, God blessed for evermore!" The Bishop of Oxford returned the following answer to the addrcaz 12.v_ Brethren,—l thank you from the bottom of my heart for your loving address. It is with great sorrow that I return your farewell ; I should have been rejoiced to end my days in working for a body of clergy whose fidelity, zeal, love of souls, and devotion to Christ and to the best interests of His Kingdom, as well as whose affectionate loyalty to their bishop made oversight :easy, and united labour a joy. But the Voice seemed to me to call me away, and I go. To God be all the praise for any good done in this diocese during my episcopate; I can see in the retrospect little save my own shortcomings. I very earnestly ask you to continue the prayers you promise to offer up for me in my new sphere of labour. God forbid that I should cease to pray for you, and so the mysterious bonds which link together the Church of Christ may yet be strengthened between us, even when it is not given us to labour together in bodily presence. I thank you for the love, support, and co-operation of twenty-four years. I pray God to bless you one and all in your own souls, in your families, and in your parishes, and to grant us a joyful meeting for Christ's sake, by the power of the Holy Ghost, in the day of our Lord's appearing." THE PROSECUTION OF THE REV. MR. WIX FOR RITUALISM. The case of the late " Bishop of Winchester v. the Rev. R. H. G. Wix " came before the Arches Court on Friday. An application was made on behalf of the defen dant, who is vicar of Swanmore, Isle of Wight, to dismiss him from further observance of justice in the matter, on the ground that the Bishop of Winchester, who had pro moted the office of the judge, had resigned his see. The application was made in pursuance of the new Act, the 32nd and 33rd of the Queen, cap.lo3, which provided that her Majesty, if satisfied of the incapacity of a bishop, and that he had " canonically resigned," by order in Council, should declare the see to be vacant. The offence alleged by letters of request was that the defendant had offended against the laws ecclesiastical by using lighted candles and burning incense during the celebration of the Holy Eucharist. Mr. Arthur Charles maintained that the resignation o. Dr. Sumner as Bishop of Winchester on the 28thof October put an end to the proceedings. The other side had to apply to the Court to continue the case by an amendment to the title by substituting the name of Dr. Sumner, the late Bishop of Winchester. Had the Bishop died naturally, and not canonically, the suit would have abated, and from analogy to cases at common law, he submittedthat the suit had been terminated by the resignation of the Bishop. Then, on the question of judicial discretion vested in the Court, he ventured to submit that the learned judge would not exercise it by allowing an amendment to be ,anade. The suit had been instituted in the episcopal character of the Bishop, and ceased when he resigned. Dr. Deane apprehended that - the letters of request were to be looked upon as a vehicle by which the Bishop made known the complaint against the defendant. The office of the judge was promoted, by leave of the judge, by the Bishop. It often happened that the secretary of a bishop promoted the office. In this case the promoter had become Dr. Sumner, late Bishop of Winchester, and all he had to do was to ask the Court to allow the proceedings to be con tinued according to the altered circumstances of the case. The points had been well put by his learned friend (Mr. Charles), and the stongest argument was that the Bishop was the voluntary promoter, and the word " we " was used to show that he was the actual promoter and that the cause only lived so long as he held the see. The Dean of Arches, in giving judgment, said the case had been clearly and ably argued by Mr. Charles. Two ap plications had been made to him—one on behalf of the clerk accused to be dismissed from all further observance on the ground that the suit had abated by reason of the promoter having resigned his see, and the otherapplication was that he should allow the suit to be altered in its title by substituting the name of Dr. Sumner, the late Bishop of 'Winchester, instead of ,the Bishop of Winchester. The question raised was novel in practice, as no precedent could be found, but not, in his opinion, difficult to decide. It was quite true that the Bishop himself had promoted the office, and the simple question was,:should he not allow him to continue to promote the office and to go on with the proceedings, although he had resigned his office of bishop ? He (Sir R. Phillimore) doubted whether he had a legal discretion to exercise in the matter: but if he had it was better for the interest of the Church if he refused to allow the technical point to prevail, and he should, therefore, grant permission to the promoter to alter the suit in the manner he had prayed. The Dean reserved the question of costs, giving permission to continue the case by an alteration in the title. Mr. Molly, M.P., in recently enforcing the neces sity for protection of the earnings of married women, men tioned the fact that there are eight hundred thousand married women in England who are in receipt of wages or salaries. The Rome correspondent of the Tablet states that, sinco "his infamous letter to the Genoese papers," Garibaldi has been attacked with such violent rheumatic pains that ho can no longer sign his correspondence. Ile intends, how ever, to visit Naples early in December. At the Bradford West Riding Court on Thursday the secretary of a local agricultural society was sent for two mouths' hard labour for embezzling the society's cash. Ile had kept back money awarded for prizes, and in one cas, the society had been sued. The Rocket, sister vessel to the Thistle, on which recently occulted the terrible boiler explosion, has had a narrow escape from a similar catastrophe. She was going at speed on her trial over the measured mile, when it was timcously discovered that the boilers were primed to such an extent as to blow nearly all the water out of them. The rumour that Mr. Talbot, M.P., has declined the ofrer of a Peerage is discredited by the Western Mail, which says:—" If it be true, there can bo no doubt that the rest lute attitude assumed by the Conservatives of the county has been tho immediate cause of Mr. Talbot declining the honour Mr. Gladstone wished to confer upon him." The Cork 1 xaminer states that the sixty head of cattle belonging to Mr. Busteed, of Coolmore, which wore attacked with foot-and-mouth disease, have recovered. There has been no other case reported in the south of Ire land. A Wiltshire correspondent writes that pleuro-pneu inunia has broken out t Cestow, near Swindon. Four beasts were slaughtered on Saturday, and one has been killed since.

Two boys are just now " wanted" at Walsall for having peen concerned in the robbery of nearly £l,OOO from the premises of Messrs. Dingnan, Lewis, and Lewis, solici tors, Walsall, and Chancery-lane, London ; the names of the culprits being Samuel Thompson, aged, IG, a clerk in Messrs. Dingnan's employ, and Thomas Simpson, aged 17, one of his associates. The property, which consisted of notes, gold, and a bank draft, was abstracted from a drawer about five weeks ago. Suspicion, however, did not fall upon Thompson until he absconded from home a few days ago in company with Simpson. The two have been traced to London, where they had taken passages on board a vessel bound to Australia, but finding that the police were on their track they did not embark. It is expected they will endeavour to leave England by some other port. A reward of £2O is offered for their appre hension. THE TELEGRAPHS. At the present time, the eve of the Government taking over the telegraphs, it is worthwhile, in the interests of all concerned, to consider a method of telegraphic communication, the adoption of which the Postmaster-General has lately sanctioned. To the casual sender and receiver of telegrams the system now in vogue for theirtransmission is all very well. Not so, however, is it with the merthant, banker, &c., who send and receive on an average some ten or a dozen messages a day, as out of that num ber at least a few arrive unreliable or useless. There is one grievance in connection with the tele graphs which the public has borne in silence for years, namely, the publicity of telegraphic matter. During the evidence taken before the Committee on Telegraphic Communication, Mr. Green said— "On the 20th of June we telegraphed them Buy linseed for 565. ; rapeseed and poppy-seed 535., saltpetre declining.' They tele graphed Buy linseed 535.,' leaving out rapeseed and poppy-seed altogether, and put in Saltpetre Our attention has been forcibly brought to bear upon those matters by a pamphlet now before us describing Major Bolton's telegraph code. In this we find almost everything that can pos sibly be invented by human mind to meet the requirements of a secret telegraph service. Ills system, although simple, is at the same time ingenious, and with a little application can be understood by any ordinary person. It consists in giving a number of words, and the most frequent occurring sentences in a language or individual number. The code embraces the whole English language, that is to say, every con ceivable sentence and phrase it contains. These stand in alphabetical order, numericallly arranged under the head of a certain page. Now, if we re quire to scud this message, " Cotton is falling, and I should not advise you to buy," we look under the letter C for cotton, and this is found at page 030, and the exact sentence we wish for is numbered 7, so we write 0307, and in this form the message is signalled, and reaches its destination, where it is " keyed," and the purport arrives beyond the chance of being tampered with. This is the boon to the public Let us see how the Post-office gains or loses by the use of this code. It would appear at first sight that they are to be losers on all that business which is known as " excessed," or, in other words, on those telegrams containing more than twenty, or the prescribed number of words allowed by the dif ferent telegraphic companies for certain priced messages. Granting this—that the Post-office would be losers on such traffic being trans acted by the code system, let us inquire how much will be the gain on ordinary messages that are and must always be under twenty words. 'The gain is simply thin, that a message of twenty words can be transmitted by the code in a . group, or at the most two groups of figures, containing ev,u more than five each, or, in plain English, twenty , t‘ords are signalled by means of ten figures. Now it is a well-known fact that the latter travels with thrice the rapidity and safety that words can be transmitted over telegraph wires ; and the fact is patent to every one that since five letters are the mean of words in the English language, a group of five figures should b.: accepted and charged for as a word; not only for this very important reason, but on account of immense sav ings these groups effect for the Post-office in time and labour for working their telegraphs. But the Postmaster-General's sanction is some what marred by the demand that figures must be exprtssel in voids, and so paid fur. Can there be anything wore extraordinary than this request, as, supposing a Continenta l fi gure message left Lon fur it over English tap over and St. l do n n e s , Peters burg it would be accepted and charged for as five w as e w sh o o rd ul s d , while h r l t e h b a e v t e w e o eu p figures to the word? This decision is likely to be remedied, however, and the public are to have the advantage of the Bolton code system, as no doubt the Post-office authorities, in commencing work, will assimilate the charges for figures with those regulating the telegraphs between England, the Continent, and other countries. Major Bolton's code has been some time em ployed in the naval and military branches of the state, and has been found to answer remarkably well. We have to congratulate bim on his gaining the sanction of Lord Harlington for the public use of his code, and therefore his victory over those gentlemen, the managers of the present telegraph companies, who have so long refused its adoption to the telegraphing public. LIFEBOAT SERVICE. BARMOUTH, NORTH WALES, Nov. 19. A large vessel was observed this morning on the outer end of St. Patrick's Causeway, about twelve miles from the shore (says Mr. John Jenkins, of her Majesty's Customs), and two boats from her were seen to be making for the land. It was blowing fresh from the north-west at the time. The Barmouth lifeboat Ellen, of the National Lireboat Institution, was promptly taken out to meet the boats, and fortunately succeeded in getting outside the broken water before they had arrived at the Bar on which a heavy sea was breaking, which they could hardly have passed through in , safety. Some of the 17 mea in the two boats were then taken into the lifeboat, part of whose crew went into the boats and isteered them ashore, all landing in safety. The vessel was the barque Medoc, of Bordeaux, 604 tons; Roux mas ter, bound from Havannah to Liverpool, with a cargo of sugar. She had gone on the Causeway at two o'clock in the morning. The vessel has got off afloat again and is drifting to the southwa rd, and at the request of the master the lifeboat has taken him and a portion of his crew off to his ship, it not being safe for any other boat to venture out. THE PBIVILEGE,g OF PEERS. Judgment was given to-day in Chancery, in the point raised in the Duke of Newcastle's bankruptcy, whether, being a peer, he was liable to arrest for debt. It was an appeal from the decision of Com missioner Winslow, refusing to deal with the estate of the bankrupt, on the ground that he was protected by privilege from legal proceedings in that court. Lord Justice Giffard said the only qlestion was whether the defendant was exempt from the opera tion of the bankrupley laws, and he went through the different authorities and cases cited in the course of the argumcnt. The case must be re mitted to the Bankruptcy Court, and if the de fendant were forced to be indebted to the plaintiff the cost of this appeal must come out of his estate. BREAKFAST.— EPPS'S COCOA.—GRATEFUL AND COM FORTING. —T ho very agreeable character of this propma tion has rendered it a general favourite.

There seems to have been a scene at Whitby on Thurs day when the poll was declared. After the usual formali ties the candidates proceeded to address the electors, and a row occurred, of which such different accounts are given by the rival local reporters that it is only fair to let each tell his own story. The Leeds Mercury says :—" Mr. Gladstode briefly thanked the electors, but the pinks (Conservative), a great portion of whom were females, screamed and hissed so pertinaciously that scarcely a word could be heard. Major Worsley also thanked his supporters, and professed to be perfectly satisfied with the result of the contest. Subsequently, he made some personal remarks of an offensive character respecting his successful opponent, offering to lay a wager that it was the last time Mr. Gladstone would be seen in Whitby. The incessant clamour which the Conservative party kept up when Mr. Gladstone was speaking was renewed when the returning-officer addressed them, the reason being that they accuse Mr. Buchanan of giving an incorrect decision as to the show of hands at the nomina- tion, although there can be no doubt the majority was largely against them. Mr. Gladstone was afterwards chaired and carried in procession, preceded by a band of music, through the town, the church bells ringing out a merry peal, and the people hurrahing in the most enthu siastic manner." The Yorkshire Post (Con.) gives the fol lowing version of the affair :—" Major Worsley, the defeated candidate, cater predicting that they would not see Mr. Gladstone after that day, aid saying he had worn Whitby out, appealed to the electors to bury the hatchet, to let bygones be bygones, to settle all petty differences caused by the past contest, and to continue to live in harmony and good fellowship. He had no animosity against Mr. Gladstone, his political and successful opponent, and although he (Major Worsley) was the beaten candidate, would gladly shake hands in token of his friendly feelings towards him. Tho gallant major then moved on to where Mr. Gladstone stood and tendered his hand, but the honourable gentleman had the exceed ingly bad taste to decline to take it. This was a signal for vehement expressions of disapprobation from all sides, so much so that the remonstrances of those on the hustings were completely drowned. Mr. Gladstone was, however, understood to say that he would not shake hands in public, but would, perhaps, do so in private. Major Worsley said he would be willing to do that, and might, at the same time, have a word ,or two to say to him. When the proceedings had closed, a rush was made by each party to seize their respective favourities and chair them. Major Worsley, Mr. John Chapman, Mr. Bagnall, and Mr. Ramsay were put on chairs and carried through the streets. Mr. Gladstone, Mr.Maule, Captain Turton, and Mr. G. J. W. Farsyde were mounted in like manner." THE LATE CAMBRIDGESHIRE ELECTION Mr. Young, the late M.P. for Cambridgeshire (who was beaten at the general election by Mr. Brand), and who is now candidate for King's Lynn, had an appeal on before the Court of Queen's Bench on Friday. It was an appeal from the decision of Mr. W. H. Cooke, Deputy-Judge of the County Court of Cambridgeshire, and it came before their lordships on a special case. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., was counsel for the appellant, Mr. Young; Mr. Mellish, Q.C., for the respondent, Mr. Peacock ; Mr. Dowdeswell, Q.C., appeared on behalf of the Deputy County Court Judge, who has been made a party to the rule. Mr. Hawkins said this was a plaint for damages done to the windows of the plaintiff, a furniture dealer, carry ing on business at Wisbeach. He only appeared for Mr. Young, who denied his liability, and not for the unhappy White, an intelligent labourer, who was identified as one who committed the damage. The damage was committed during the late parliamentary election, and during the progress of the appellant, Mr. Young, through the town, upon an occasion when the populace took out his horses, and drew bins through the streets in triumph. After hearing the arguments, the Lord Chief Justice, in delivering judgment, said the case turned on the Judge's finding, the effect of which, taken as a whole, was this : Mr. Young accepted the ser vices of the people to drag him and his carriage in triumph through the town of Wisbeach, and that, in the course of his progress, windows wore broken by the crowd which was in his favour, and was accompanying him; and that, whilst he remonstrated with them for so doing, and endea voured, so far as language could do, to put a stop to the proceedings, he nevertheless did one or two things which a prudent man, under such circumstances, had better have abstained from doing. In answer to the gratifying salutations of his partisans of both sexes, he in return waved his hat ; and the County Court Judge had found that it was calculated to have, and (lid have, the effect of encouraging the mob, and that that was an imprudent course of proceeding ; that, had Mr. Young stopped his carriage, and stopped the procession, in all probability the excitement and its mischievous consequences would have ended. He (the learned Chief Justice), looking at it as such, could not say that because a gentleman was accompanied by a crowd in his canvass in the course of an election, who were not his agents, and doing nothing by way of employing them, but who were bent on doing mis chief, that because he did what was at most an imprudent act, he should be held liable for damage. Under the cir cumstances, he thought the finding of the County Court judge was wrong, and must be reversed, and that the rule against Mr. Cooke must be discharged with costs. The other learned judges concurred. Judgment accordingly. The Levant Herald states that Nevrez Pasha, bash mussahib (head buffoon) at the Turkish Court, has been dismissed. This makes the eighth time this lively official has experienced similar fortune. The Medical Times understands that the Poor law Board have addressed the governors of some of the larger of the London hospitals with the view as ascertain ing whether they are prepared to receive and treat pauper patients. On learning the particulars of the number who could be accommodated, and of the terms on which their maintenance and treatment could be arranged, the board will endeavour to effect satisfactory arrangements between the hospital authorities and the guardians of those places in which additional provision for the sick poor is required. THE EXHIBITION AT ROME.—The Exhibition building at Rome is now nearly complete, and will be in every way a worthy receptacle for the treasures of Christian art. The Quadrangle of Santa Maria clegli Angell was one of the architectural triumphs of Michael Angelo, and in the centre of tho beautiful court, surrounded by a cloister, and supported by a hundred columns, stand a fountain and a group of magnificent cypresses, planted by the hand of the great master. M. Vespignani, to whom the task of arrangement has been entrusted, has designed a parterre on the plan of tho Crystal Palace round this fountain, and thence a glazed roof is thrown from wooden pillars, running into four covered arcades, which will form the space reserved for works of art. Local committees are being formed at Brussels, Paris, Vienna, and other cities, to which objects shall be submitted before they are sent to Rome. The English Gothic depot appears to be at Bruges conjointly with that of Belgium. Many well-known manufacturers of Gothic art are expected to exhibit.
