Whenever there is any sinister disturbance in the streets of Paris, NAPOLEON 111. always passes slowly without any escort through the midst of the very quarters in which those disturbances are known to have occurred. Ile did so yesterday. And, remem bering that the disorderly scenes which have recently taken place have been of a more serious character than usual, the EMPEROR and EmPnrss together drove during the afternoon, not merely at a walking pace, but having their uncovered an 1 unescorted carriage stopped by the presence of the crowds through which they passed with difficulty—along the whole line of the Rue de Rivoli, the Boulevards de Sebastopol, S. Denis, Puissonniere, Montmartre, des Italiens, and the Rue de la Paix. The chivalrous confidence thus displayed by them in the loyalty of the whole Parisian multitude, as a matter of course, 00=4oz:clod, what it jr . Q-emiaently deserved, the most enthusiastic acclamations. The I shouts, again and again repeated, were not merely those of Vive l'Empereur ! and Vive 1' imperatice ! but, significantly enough, " We desire order and tran quillity !" During the tumults which have, off and on, taken place within these last few days, but more particularly towards evening and nightfall, the cries raised were of a very indifferent character—" Vive Rochefort !" Vive la Lanterne !" " A Bas l'Empire !" " A Bas l'Emp , aeur !" " Vive la Republique !" " A Bas Napoleon !" A rabble crowd of the most squalid character, roaring out the choralEchaunt of " Alourir pour la Patric," and the great insurrectionary hymn of the " Marseillaise," had as the last and wildest of all these tumultuous movements, tra versed in a disorderly procession the most fashionable of the Parisian boulevards. It was as the sequel, or rather as the direct response, to these outrageous demonstrations, that the SOVEREIGN of France with his EMPRESS passed along the whole line of those same boulevards in the way we have just now inti mated. Reverting to the previous demonstrations of a really insurrectionary kind which had taken place in the capital of France, under the very shadow of the Pala-e of the Tuileries, it is impossible not to have a vivid recollection of the blame attached to the imperial Government in the . mode cf dealing with those same demonstrations. If the police appeared, there, to clear the streets of the rioters—their doing so was said to betray a wanton irritation on the part of the authorities. If, on the contrary, the police were no where to be seen during an interval when the scum of Paris—men described by the Correspondent of one of our morning contemporaries as looking verit able Yahoos—the absence of the police was attri buted to a deliberate intention on the part of the Government to allow the disturbances to develope themselves sufficiently to afford the authorities the opportunity of int..*.-: - taleir resolute suppression. Whatever was done or was left undone by the Government, was, in other words, described by the implacable enemies of the Empire as the very woist thing that could have been dreamt of. Meanwhile it has been perfectly ob vious throughout, to all dispassionate observers, that the utmost leniency and forbearance have been displayed by the police authorities in dcal:ng with the would-be insurgents. Casualties have occurred, but, for the most part, the injuries have been injuries done to the police them se:ves. Lives have not been lost, as they were lost among ourselves the other day, down at Mold, in Flintshire. And all the while—who is there who knows anything at all about France, who does not know this ?—all the while the Emperor NAPOLEON has Paris absolutely at his com mand. TLe most powerful, and the most highly disciplined army in the world is there, in Paris, capable of the most rapid concentration. Troops are already habitually, there, at this and at that central point of the great capital of France, capable of acting against insurgents with crushing and overwhelming force. Strategically, Paris is the impregnable stronghold of Imperialism. The EMPEROR in ty be said to have it like a ball at his foot—to hold it in the hollow of his hand. The throwing up of barricades is now, and will continue, to be hencefortb,a simple impossibility. At any moment—supposing the political desperadoes were out and about, armed to the teeth, as the Reds were in the June of 1818, when CAVAIGNAC was in supreme power as the dictatorial Commander in-Chief—the great thoroughfares of Paris could be sxept clear, from a series of central points , by the roar of artillery. There is no exagge ration in all this. The facts are simply notorious. A Eurprise to the G.)vernment is impossible. The EMPEROR is not to be got rid of quite so easily as Paris, as Franc.: got rid of Louts PuturrE on the famous February. Ti , is, be it said, quite apart from Vie different char icters of the two men—N.trouoN being simply i►:capable of flying igno tliniouily before the fano of }.is PnP.Mit.S. as was the else with his im mediate predecessor. No, as we said the other day he do• s not hoist like the Citizen King of being firmly in thes:tl si :1:,13 is firmly in the sa Idle. So firmly, that, as we have already sai 1, if there is fated to be any bouleverscnient, the fall will be that of rider and horse together—it will be the fall of a Centaur. CLEARLY man has not yet succeeded in bringing the forces of nature under control. Within twen'y four hours we hear of a boiler explosion at Bingley, by which fifteen lives have been sacrificed, and of a colliery explosion in South Wales, which has de stroyed no fewer than seventy persons. Unfortu nately neither class of events is so uncommon as to excite much attention. Here are more than fourscore persons killed instantaneously, and, save in the districts where they were known, this great sacrifice of life will excite little interest. All England was horrified and aghast at the Aber gele accident, though that involved less than half the loss of life, and well-nigh a year after date it has been the subject of discussion in the House of Com mons. Whence this great difference ? How is it that, while last year's catastrophe is a topic of conver versation • for mon Ills, this year's double cala mity excites merely a languid attention, and in a fortnight will be forgotten by the ordi nary reader ? The reason is to be found in the egotism that more or less influences all of us. We are not pitmen; we are not factory hands; we are not in danger of being suddenly hurled out of existence by the fiery subterranean blast or by the breaking forth of imprisoned steam. We are all of us railway travellers. The fate that befell Lord FARNHAM and his companions may befall us. hence it is that we are so anxious to prevent railway accidents, so indifferent about accidents in the coalpit and in the mill. The class to which the sufferers in those disasters belong is not one capable of bringing its position prominently before the public through the Press or through Parliament. It is for this very reason that those who have the interests of working men most at heart should demand strict inquiry into such calamities as those at Bingley and Ferndale. The first thing to investigate is the cause of these " accidents." Here, unfortunately, we are met with the serious difficulty that the very persons who would have been best able to give evidence are not avail able. It is conceivable enough that the engine tenter HODGKINSON, who was one of the victims, could, if he were living, tell something that would enable us to make a shrewd guess. As it is, there are statements current that the boiler had been worked to a pressure of over sixty pounds on the square inch. In fact, when the noise of the ex plosion was first heard, and before it was known from whence it proceeded, there were those who, from their knowledge of this fact, at once named the works at which the explosion had taken place. It is even said that the whistle of the safety valve was tied up to prevent the fact of the engine being worked at too high a pressure from becoming known. If this be true, it is impossible to conceive, of greater folly and criminality. To this disgraceful recklessness both the engineer and the proprietor of the mill have fallen victims. Nor is it possible to prevent the same results again. Safety-valves have been tied down before, and explosions have followed with more or less loss of life ; and yet if the supposed solution of this terrible problem be correct, the stern lesson of experience has been thrown away, and is likely to be so again. " With folly even the gods strive in vain," says SCHILLER ; and if a man will tie down his safety valve, will open his safety lamp in a "fiery " pit, will smoke upon a barrel of gunpowder, it is impossible to prevent him. Heavy fines on discovery are scarcely likely to have much effect upon a man who puts his own lifeleril. Moreover, the discovery is rarely possible nit is too late to be of service. There are, howevertain precautions practicable, and which, ha.dtlir adopted,might,perhaps,have t spared us these agedies in Yorkshire and South Wales. It is by neans certain that the explosion at Bingley was ndue to a defective boiler-plate. If this was so, thtect would probably have been discovered by a,tmpetent inspector. At all events, such iection ought to be com pulsory, and n( as now, merely voluntary. For the sake of sag a few shillings a year there are manufacturersho refuse to let their boilers be inspected, evethough the inspection would almost certainly ird them against accidents, and the payment woulsecure them against pecuniary loss if an accident ! occur. If Government would insist upon inspectl, the great majority of these ever-recurring caldties might be averted. It would be impracticable f prevent the erection of steam boilers in any croled neighbourhood; yet it may fairly be questioh whether the Privy Council might not forbi Jl/41' the erection of schools close ? to a factory. I as because of such proximity that the carnage i Bingley was so great. It was not the factory hats so. much as the children in the adjacent school w fell victims. Of the Ferndale accident little is vainly known. This colliery was the scene of a sintar catastrophe eighteen months ago. The pit wastherefore, known to be liable to such accidents, 'town to be dangerous, and, therefore, precautia was doubly needed. Whether any such precautin was taken remains to be seen. Meanwhile J is a matter for consideration whether colliery milers might not devise a better system of inspection than now prevails. Frequent visits at uncertain intervals to the different workings, with the object of ascertaining if the men are dis obeying orders against smoking and open lamps, would probably lave spared us many a holocaust Hy. 4-1,..4. ...I.:_t. 1 , -.l 3 ist spread fresh lamentation in THE riots which have taken place this week at Paris, and which unfortunately have not yet termi nated, afford an admirable example of the evils of too much government. Costly experience has by this time pretty well established the general principles which the guardians of the peace ought to follow at election time. It is always the interest of the authorities to allow any little popular effervescence to die out, and, whilst keeping a close watch upon events, to refrain as much as possible from active intervention. In times of political excitement, the authorities must be expected to set the example in forbearance. People at such periods are naturally less tolerant of restraint, and most easily incited to resistance. Moreover, the crowd which assembles through interest in politics is always augmented by another section of the populace, perfectly indifferent to elec tion contests, but greatly delighting in tumult of any description. By these a collision between the police and the populace is eagerly welcomed as afford ing pleasurable excitement and the chance of profitable crime. To disappoint the roughs the police ought to be unusually indulgent to excited citizens. A general election is a rare event. In. France it occurs only once in six years. The police of Paris, however, seem to have adopted and carried out a philosophy of election rioting of precisely the opposite kind. It is pretty certain that but for the needless interven tion of the authorities the contests of Sunday and Monday last would have passed off as peaceably as did those which took place a fortnight previously. All .accounts, save those published in the official papers agree that the crowd which gathered on the centra: boulevards on Monday evening did not at first iisplay any signs of rioting. The appear ance of Paris was, indeed, very different from that pesented by London on similar occasions. The contesto had in some cases been very keen, the exciteannt had been extreme, the interest general. Whereis in our capital half the voters can scarcely be indiced to take the trouble of polling, in Paris five-sixths of the electors exercised their Irivilege. When the battle was over, the combatants assembled in large numbers to discuss the strife. The great streets were densely filled iy crowds, who did not up to a :certain hour commit any violence. The police, however, misinterpreted these by no means objectionable to!,:.ens of political interest into a menace of revoluton. They care up in large troops, insisted. on the people "moving on," pushed them about, and soon succeeded in producing the excite ment which had formerly been wanting. A scene of uproar followed, which 'bore its natural fruit on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. The roughs, who exist in Paris equally as in London, saw their opportunity and embraced it. The riots, which were undoubtedly at firstprovoked by the police, were on succeeding evenings carried on by the lowest section of the populace. The particulars of the worst riot up to Thursday shew that the crowd was com posed entirely of roughs and boys under twenty, who attached the shops of inoffensive citizens and ravaged the whole of one street. This most serious disturbance had no connection whatever with politics. The greater part of those concerned in it were not old enough to exercise the suffrage. So far it is quite certain that the police, instead of preventing revolution, have only stirred up the dregs of the Parisian populace. It would be, perhaps, premature to decide upon the reason of such conduct. If the Government is not anxious to frame an excuse for another coup d'etat, if the E MPELOR does not wish once more to appear as the saviour of his country, the behaviour of his subor dinates must be set down as very foolish and incom petent. POLICE lIVTI3LLIGENCE.-7his Day. --- MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE DANGER OF ',JOKING AT STREET EXHIBITIONS.— George Clive, described ns a silversmith, was charged with s'etaing a gold watch of the value of .£7, the property of Mr. James Armstrong, of No. 45, Cirencester-place. 'I he prosecutor said that he was standing at the corner of Langham-street, lcoking at some characters exhibited on a board, when he felt the prisoner against it, but he took no notice. Directly afterwards, however, he felt his watch chain pulled, ani on looking down ESW it hang ing, and the prisoner in the act of putting his (prose cutor's) watch in his pocket. The . prisoner seeing that he was detected took the watch out of his pocket and put it into his hand, with the remark, " I'll give it up to you," and then nude $4, but he was pursued and given into custody. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street (the prisoner baying pleaded guilty) mad ;a strong appeal on his behalf, urging that the prisoner, who had been drinking, had yielded to sudden temptation. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for three months" with hard labour. THAMES. STEALING A PAD OF MACREREL,—IMPUDENT ROBBERY. —Henry Rose, a costermonger, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with stealing a pad of mackerel from a van belonging to Mr. Younghusband, a carrier and van pro prietor, on Tower-hill. The prisoner lifted a pad of mackerel from a van left without charge, put it on ano ther man's head, and told him to be quick with it. Chas. Lewis, the driver of the van, returned immediately after wards, and on hartdog what had become of the fish went after the prisoner and overtook him with the pad of mackerel on his head. The driver asked him where he got the mackerel from, to which the prisoner replied "If you want it, take it, and throw it down." He was given into the custody of Police-constable Cormack, of the City police, to whom ho said ho bought tho pad of fish in a public-house for 78., which was considerably below its value. He gave an equivocal plea of guilty. He took the mackerel; ho did not steal them, he only helped them on to another man's head. Mr. Paget—And thon put them on your own held ? Several drivits 'of fish vans said there had been many robberies of fish vans recently, and the carmen in charge had to sustain all the loss. Mr. Paget would not receive the half plea of guilty, and committed the prisoner for trial. DeNvir.l.E and Co., Belfast, are the largest holders of Whisky in the world.

The affray on the outskirts of Belfast between the I Orangemen—who were coming in about 1,000 strong, with drum and fife—and the police, narrowly escaped being a serious collision. When ,the police began to take down the names of the leaders of the party, as the Northern Whig states, a volley of stones was flung at them. They drew their swords, charged the mob, and arrested thirteen ; but no one was very badly hurt. Several of the police received slight wounds. The thirten Orangemen who were arrested were brought up on Thursday at the police-court and fined £1 each, with the alternative of fourteen days' imprisonment. The magistrate said that but for this being the first case of the kind this season, the prisoners would have been returned to the assizes. STRANGE POINT IN DIVORCE LAW. A point of considerable interest arose during the hearing of the cause of "Buchmaster v. Buckmaster," on Friday, in the Divorce Court. The wife prayed for a dissolution of marriage, on the ground of adultery and desertion. The facts of the case were curious. The respondent, a miller's son, clandestinely married the appellant, who was a servant ; but, owing to the opposition of his parents, only lived with her for a short time. He had formerly been attached to a girl named Bunker, and on the part of the petitionet it was alleged was now living with her. The petitioner bad accepted £lOO not to " molest" the respondent ; but had subsequently filed a petition for restitution of conjugal rights ; but the citation could not be served on the respondent, who, it was alleged, was at that time in Australia with Mary Bunker. — Lord Penzance said he had great doubts if the desertion could be made out, and referred to the case of "Fitzgerald v. Fitzgerald." If two parties were married one day, and then rued their bargain, and the wife accepted a certain sum to go away—in fact to dissolve their marriage—it would be strange if she had the right afterwards to petition, or make one of her grounds desertion. He (the learned judge) would look intc the law on the subject.—Mr. Inderwick, for the petitioner, alleged that when his client accepted the £lOO she was not aware that her husband was living with Bunker, and had since then THE EXPLOSION AT THE FERNDALE COLLIERY. Details are given in the local papers of the explosion at, the Ferndale Colliery, which we reported on Friday. The first rumours of the catastrophe were, as now appears, exaggerated, and instead of 120 lives being lost, the number is given as between 70 and 80. Ferndale is described as being a wild and picturesque spot in Rhondda Vale. The colliery belongs to Messrs. Davis and Sons, extensive colliery proprietors. The story of the explosion is much like those which have so often been repeated concerning other explosions. Between six and seven o'clock on Thursday morning, the colliers, of whom GOO are generally employed in the pit, had descended to commence their daily avocation. About half-an-hour afterwards a vibration of the earth, followed by a faint report, was perceptible to those stationed at the mouth of the pit. Almost simultaneously with these signs a dense volume of black dust issued from the mouth of the " down-cast", shaft, and it was immediately known by those on the bank that another calamity had visited the pit. Mr. Bedlington, the general manager, and Mr. David Recs, the local manager, were instantly summoned, and very few minutes elapsed before they were on the spot. They were joined by a number of the other officials connected with the works, and the news having spread as such news will, thousands of men, women, and children from all the neighbourhood round flocked to the scene. The excitement was intense, not only in the locality, but throughout the whole district. It must be understood that the Ferndale Colliery corn prises three separate workings, known respectively as the Duffryn, the Rhonnda, and the Blaenllecha headings. These all radiate from one shaft and are on one level. It was in the Duffryn heading that the present explosion took place. This working was uninjured in the great explosion which took place in 1867. From accounts received from some of those who were in the working, it is gathered that out of the 400 men who went down, there were from 130 to 140 in the Duffryn side, and of these about GO made good their escape. The Duffryn heading runs in a south-westerly course, towards the Rhondda Vale. The workings have extended about three-quarters of a mile. It is not known at what point the explosion took place, but it is supposed to have been towards the centre ; and it is conjectured that the cause was the falling of a portion of the roof, and an irruption of highly inflammable gas. The men nearest the shaft, which is 280 yards deep, escaped, but those towards the other end were, unfortunately, cut off by the after-damp. An exploring party was promptly organised. The first party descended a little before eighto'clock, and by half-past nine ten bodies were brought to the bank. These presented no appearance of having been burnt, but apparently had f,,,rn the effects of the niter-nao, p. Relief parties were told off to continue the search, and bodies continued to be brought up till between twelve and one o'clock, at which hour forty-five bodies had been recovered. Many of these were shockingly burned. In one or two cases the features of the poor fellows were so charred as to be almost wholly unrecognisable. No certain cause is given for the accident. The Cambria Daily Leadcr says positively that as soon as the men reached the Duffyrn district, a large fall of the roof occurred about half-way into the district, thereby occasioning a large escape of gas, which, finding its way into the workings, was, by some means not yet known, ignited. This, however, leaves the matter as uncertain as ever, and, from the failure!of the inquiry made hitherto, there seems to be little chance of having any positive reason assigned. A list of 44 dead recovered is given, but this is stated to be incomplete, and the searching is yet going on. It is noticeable that most of the men injured were killed. There are very few who were hurt by the explosion and escaped. The inquest before the coroner will be formally opened at Pontypridd to-day, after which the jury will proceed to view the bodies, and a correct list of the deceased will he given. _ _ An incident of arrant heartlessness is reported, that of a man who, while rendering some assistance in the recovery of the bodies, observed a watch in the clothing of one of the bodies, and endeavoured to secure it for his own use. He had no sooner, however, got to the pit's bank than he was surrounded by a mob who chased him to the bank of the river, some distance away, where they overtook him, threw him in the water, cut his head against the stones, and would doubtless have " finished' him, had it not been for the timely interference of the police, who at once took the heartless wretch into custody and locked him in the police.station. The latest telegrams report the fatalities at nearly 80. A Parliamentary return of Life Assurance Com panies registered since 1844 shows 262 such companies, with a nominal capital of £60,057,500 ; £28,578,601 is sub. scribed for, and £3,166,633 is paid up. Of these companies 10 have amalgamated with others, the business of 34 has been transferred to others, and 152 have been wound up, or are supposed to have ceased business. SHI PWRECKED MARINERS' SOCIETY. —The 30th annual meeting of the friends and supporters of this society was held on Friday, under the presidency of th , Duke of Marlborough, in Burdett Hall, Limehouse, From the report read by the secretary it appeared that 10,884 shipwrecked persons, widows, and orphans, had been relieved during the past year. The gross income was £22,445. In the Belvedere Institution there were sixty. eight poor old seamen, and thirty-six had received out pensions. The meeting was addressed by Captain Maude, Rev. Dr. Cumming, Rev. Dr. Smith, and other gentlemen in support of the claims of the society. A HUGE 13Low-Ur.—On Thursday, at the extensive limo quarries of Messrs. Briggs, situated at Salthill, near Clitheroe, one of the largest blasting opera tions ever attempted •in that part of the country was successfully brought to a conclusion. At Salthill there is a perpendicular face of mountain limestone GO feet in height. A tunnel, 28 yards in length, had been bored in the face, and 6) cwt. of powder well walled in at the upper end. Three fuses were lighted at 2.20 p.m., and at 2.54 a mass of at least 50,000 tons of solid limestone was lifted perpendicularly a height of 30 or 4) yards. So truly was the vertical movement effected that to`.; a single stone was thrown to the distance of more than 80 yards. The huge mass went up together into the air, and, though crumbling in the descent, fell well together. Most of those present were scientific men. LII - V AND TILE Clluncm —The Dublin corre spondent of the Times writes :--" The Court of Exchequer on Friday witnessed, perhaps for the last time, the obser vance of a quaint custom which, in the light of coming changes, seems more strange. It is the service rendered every year by Christ Church Cathedral for the pro perty which it holds in frank almoigne.' The Rev. Mr. Finlayson, vicar choral, and several of the choristers attended in their surplices, and get ting upon the table of the court, while all present, including the members of the Bench—all, with one exception, Roman Catholics—reverently stood, they sang a hymn with excellent effect as a musical performance. The vicar choral then stood at the side bar and read the concluding prayers of the morning service of the Esta blished Church, the boys singing the responses. Before the Reformation the custom was to celebrate mass in the courts on the first and last days of all the Terms in homage for the lands, but at the time of the Reformation the Protestant service was substituted. The court :ertified that it wad duly rejadeul THE BISHOP OF PETERBOROUGH ON WYCLIFFE AND THE REFORMATION. The reopening took place on Thursday, after it had been closed for three years and a half for restoration, of St. Mary's Church, Lutterworth. The interest of the church lies prin cipally in its connection with Wycliffe. The restorations have been effected by Mr. Scott. The Bishop of Peterborough, at luncheon which fol lowed the morning service in the church, said:— It seems to me that the great vicar of Lutterworth in old days was a truly Conservative Church restorer; and in this work of Church restoration, which I delight to look upon in this diocese, there seems to be exemplified the true spirit of Church restorers. Our Reformation was, in the deepest once of the word a Church restoration, the recovery of all that was old, and in no case the needless addition of a single thinz that was new. I am never ashamed to say that I honour the memory of that blessed reformer of the Church of England, and I desire to recognise our Church, like one of your own parish churches, as at once old and new—new in the restoration that restores the beauty and truth of the old. 1 hon our those who founded the old, and those who restored the beauty that seems new, and ye{ that isnevertheless old. For this reason I trust that the spirit of Wyclife may dwell in the parish in which he once dwelt, and that the word of Wyclife may be taught there as he taught it in the open Bible that ho gave to England, and that the spirit of Lis preaching may be read in our liturgy, cud preserved in our services. THE CRISIS. --•o~ _ The John Bull has the following on the crisis : " The air is thick with rumours, and we may be said to be living in an atmosphere of intrigue. It is hardly necessary to warn our readers against giving credit to the multiplicity of reports, some of which have a substratum of truth, but many of which are pure inventions of the enemy. Such emphatically was the ruse of the Times which pretended on Tuesday that the peers had altered their mind. The only shadow of foundation for this rumour was the statement of the Earl of Devon in presenting a petition to the House that he did not advise the rejec tion of the bill on the second reading. This was fully anticipated. Indeed, last year, when in office, his lord ship had plainly indicated that this was his intention. . .•11 rril • second and stronger Opposition whip was issued, that the Government really believed that serious opposition was intended, and the Cabinet Council for to-day was summoned, when the course of the Government in case of defeat will be decided upon. The Government have issued the word of command to their supporters in the press not to bully the Peers. Hence the cessation of the violent articles, and the wise silence of the Govern ment. Nevertheless, it is well known that every arrange meat is matured for getting up a spurious agitation to order, if necessary, by Mr. Potter and his friends. It is idle to deny that the Cave is a considerable one ; and that though there is an assured majority, it will not be so large as we predicted last week. No effort must be spared to bring up every peer, and to secure a substantial majority. Many peers will probably not decide till the last moment, and speeches will very likely have a practical effect on the voting. The Archbishops, we fear, are among those who have made up their minds, and it is even said that they may vote for the Government. The Marquis of Bath is among those said to be most active in the Cave, as indeed nearly all the High Church peers. The Bishop of Oxford is stated to have convinced himself that it is his duty to vote for the bill, on the alleged ground, which is being urged with too much suc cess on some peers, that the Queen desires the bill to be read a second time, as, if it is not, her Majesty feels she cannot resist any course suggested by the Prime Minister, whereas if the bill is read a second time, the Queen will use all her influence to make the Government yield to any amendments passed by the Lords. Surely of all the improper uses ever made of her Majesty's name, this unconstitutionalsuggestion that she wouldinterferewith the discretion of the House of Lords is the worst, and only equalled by the folly of imagining that the Commons would yield any substantial amendments. If the Government re fused the least concession to Sir R. Palmer, Mr. Wickham Martin, Mr. Pim, Mr. Vernon Harcourt, and other of its own supporters, it is worse than idle to contend that they will yield to the House of Lords. We are authorised to state that there is not a shadow of foundation for the rumours that the Earl of Harrowby ' rides to lose,' as the phrase is, or that Mr. Disraeli wishes the bill committed. In reply to a deputation of Irish gentlemen now in London, after speeches from the Revs. Dr. A. T. Lee and Reichel, and Messrs. Hamilton and Macrory, Mr. Disraeli expressed his warm sympathy with their desire that the bill should be defeated. A deputation of Irish Churchmen waited on Friday on the Archbishop of Armagh, who had asked several English bishops to meet them. His Grace and the Bishop of Derry have kept almost open house fur the gentlemen from Ireland." The Daily News says that Mr. Bright has addressed a letter to his Birmingham friends on the situation created by the resolution of the Conservative leaders in the House of Lords.—lt is also stated that the Duke of Richmond has nfiriracenri n lattar to flip Earl of Derl.y rl;grspproving of the course he is pursuing, and declining to support it. PARLIAMENTARY AND .711LTHICIPAL ELECTIONS. ilie select committee of the House of Commons in. quiring into the mode of conducting parliamentary and municipal elections met again on Friday. The Marquis of Hartington presided, and the other members present were Sir George Grey, Mr. Leatham, Mr. Brand, Mr. Whit bread, The O'Connor Don, Mr. Villiers, Mr. Ward Hunt, Mr. Staveley Hill, Mr. Howes, Sir F. Heygate, Mr. Gathorne Hardy, Mr. Cross, Sir Michael Hicks Beach. Some further evidence was heard respecting the dis missal of a tenant of the Marquis of Lothian, who had voted for the Liberal candidate at the last election for Hoxburghshire. Mr. William Scott, late of Timpendean, Roxburghshire, said, in reply to Mr. Leatham, that he was the tenant of the Marquis of Lothian referred to by Mr. Otto (Lord Lothian's factor) in his evidence before the committee. Since his dismissal from Timpendean by the Mar quis of Lothian he had taken a farm belonging to the Duke of Roxburgh, which was one of the largest in Scotland. He farmed 3,000 acres of arable land. He had paid in rent to various landlords over £5,000 per annum. The rent he paid to the Marquis was £BOO. Before the last election he frequently said to different parties that he should not be influenced in voting by the fact that the lease of his farm had nearly expired, but he never spoke with disrespectful levity of the Marquis and his family. After the election he wrote to Mr. Otto, saying he he heard it was said he had broken his pledge. Mr. Otto came to see him, and said such an idea had never occurred to him. " But," he added, " I may as well tell you that nothing more will be done about the farm." Witness said, " Why, what's up?" Mr. Otto said, "I had the whole cut and dried ready for the Marquis's approval, and he positively declines to renew the lease, because you have voted against his brother." Was quite sure that these words were used. Witness subsequently had a conversa tion with his brother, George Scott, who said that the Marquis had refused to renew the lease on the spur of the moment, after the election, and he had no doubt his lord ship regretted it. Witness afterwards wrote to the Marquis expressing surprise that the lease was not to be renewed, and explaining why he had voted for the Liberal candidate, adding that, out of respect for his lordship, he had advised several persons to vote for Lord Schomberg Kerr (the brother of the Marquis). To that letter he received no reply. By Mr. Villiers: Before the election Mr. Otto pressed me strongly to vote for the Marquis's brother, but he did not give me the impression that if I did not I Should not get my lease. The refusal took me very much by surprise. My neighbours did not think the lease would not be renewed; they thought the day was gone by for that sort of thing. I never knew of any other tenant of the Marquis being turned out because of the way he voted. By Mr. Whitbread : Mr. Otto told me that if I had remained neutral I should have got my farm. Mr. Otto was recalled, and positively denied that he had ever given Mr. Scott any explanation as to the reason why the lease was not renewed. Mr. Scott assumed that it was because he had voted for the Liberal candidate, and witness did not contradict him, having been told by the Marquis simply to inform him that his lease would not be renewed without assigning any reason. Mr. Norwood, a revising barrister, and chairman of the North Dublin Board of Guardians was next called, and stated he believed the deficiency of voting places in Ireland encouraged the assembling of mobs, and while polling-places were so few escorts fur voters were abso lutely necessary. He did not think the Ballot would be a protection to the lower orders against the influence of the priests, but he held that the priests should not bg allowed to act as agents. A telegram from Norwich states that the prisoners, William George Davy and his wife, charged with attempt ing to poison John Maycs Davy, at Swaffingham, have been committed for trial. POPULATION OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. The Registrar-General of England estimates the population of the United Kingdom in the middle of the year 1869 at 31,015,234; or, excluding the army, navy, and merchant seaman abroad, and reckoning only the persons actually in the United King dom, 30,621,431—viz., 24,869,607 in England and \Vales , 3,205,481 in Scotlan d , and x,546,343 in Ireland. This is an increase of 240,644 as compared in with the numbers in the U n i t ed Kingdom in the middle of 1868, viz., an increase of 220,20 England, 17,366 in Scollaudi and 3.058 in Ireland. ~ RTP 1r 1 6ff 11 Tt LVI(II}T HER MAJESTY.
