He is able to deliver Jopies in Town, the Suburbs, and in many parts of the country at a comparatively early hour the same evening, say 40 miles by 9.L o'clock The political world has just met with a striking illustration of the vanity of human wishes, and the public at large has been startled by the announce ment of the death of Mr. ERNEST JONES. Coming so immediately after the news of his successful candida ture for Manchester the effect produced has been all the more startling. A brief survey of the life of Mr. ERNEST JONES furnishes one with interesting matter for reflection, and it is worthy of notice that the ele ments of his character were at variance with the inci dents of his career. No doubt many an impatient observer of public events, and many a captious critic, has dismissed the name of ERNEST JONES from his mind with the notion that he was a wild Chartist and a man without much depth of thought or stability of purpose. Such, however, was not the case, and the course he pursued, however mistaken, was animated by the ruling spirit of his life—a deep devotion to the cause of the people. He was no carpet knight of the service into which he early volunteered ; on the contrary, he proved his zeal by the sacrifice of his profession and the endurance of many private mortifications. Strange to say his early days were passed under the shadow of great ness, but that connection which often influences one imperceptibly in after years, was powerless to affect the mind of the young enthusiast. Mr. JONES was well educated in Germany, and for a brief time en gaged in literary pursuits, which again were calcu lated to draw his mind away from the levelling doc trines of an extreme party. But the natural bent of his mind was too strong for any of these restraints to be effectual, and no curb could be found for his de termined will. Unfortunately he entered public life at a time of great doubt and difficulty, and soon com mitted himself in a way that could not be retraced. It is unnecessary to follow Mr. JONES through all the phases of his career in connection with the Chartists, but it is important to recognise its distinguishing feature, which was that of disinterestedness. Circumstances change, and els toms alter, but the character of man remains the same in its essential attributes, and if it were pos sible to divest one's mind of the notion of vulgarity, and the demand for absurd conee:zsions which are at tached to the name of Chartism, we might recognise, in the zeal and enthusiasm with which ERNEST JONES threw himself into the cause he took up, some of the heroic elements which elevated the cause of the Royalists in England, and have made them for all time renowned in tradition, legend, tale, and song. He gave up solid advantages for the pursuit of a shadow, and while the dem- LORD RUSSELL did well not to accept Mr. GLAD STONE'S offer of a seat in the Cabinet without a port folio. Though little short of fourscore years, the old Whig leader is still full of vigour, still endowed with that irrepressible love of writing which has before now brought him into trouble. To have been a Minister without a department on which to expend those energies and to gratify that passion would have been very dangerous for a Premier holding the delicate position occupied by Mr. GLADSTONE. Supposing, for instance, that the three letters on the Irish Church, addressed to Mr. CHICHESTER FORTESCUE, had been written by a member of the GLADSTONE Cabinet, what would the world have said ? In the first letter Lord RUSSELL adopts the policy of levelling up, which he had a little while before denounced as impracticable when proposed by Lord GREY. Finding that the Conservatives were willing to adopt that policy, and that neither the Liberal party nor the nation would entertain it, he writes a second letter answering the first. And now, after an interval of a few weeks, during which Mr. GLADSTONE has maintained the most complete secrecy as to his plans, except that he has declared again and again that no part of the revenues of the Established Church shallgo towards the Roman Catholic Church, Lord RUSSELL writes a third letter, answering the second, and in a modified way repeating the first. his last, perhaps we ought rather to say latest epistle—for there may be others in store—reads strangely enough by the side of a far more famous letter written eighteen years ago. In the " Durham " letter the Lord JOAN of 1851 sounded the No-Popery trumpet with a blast as full and loud as could be blown by Mr. NEWDEGATE Or Mr. WHALLEY. In the third letter to Mr. CHICHESTER FORTESCUE the Earl RUS SELL of to-day describes Roman services with the enthusiasm of a Ritualist about to "go over." He defends the worshippers from the charge of idolatry, and describes, with a cogency that Dr. LINGARD might have envied, the long ages of injus tice inflicted by Protestant England upon Catholic Ireland, in defiance of the most solemn engagements. No impartial reader of history can deny that there is much force in the veteran statesman's accusa tions. No clear-sighted student of his own times will suppose that Lord RUSSELL'S proposals have the smallest chance of being sanctioned by the nation. It may be right for the English nation to endow the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland ; but that nation has refused to endow, and that Church has refused to be endowed. Lord RUSSELL'S proposals with regard to the land are less impracticable. He would render absolutely illegal all tenures in which the tenant is liable to immediate ejection. That in itself would remedy half the wrong, would prevent the repetition of such flagrant outrages upon the public conscience as Mr. Sc LILLY'S evictions, and such lamentable results as the subsequent murders. Lord RUSSELL'S praise of Mr. GLADSTONE does credit to both par ties. His narrative of the events which led to the revival of the Irish Church question fully proves, as we ourselves have repeatedly proved, that it was not Mr. GLADSTONE who was responsible for this revival, but that it was forced upon him. We are not sure that we can go with Earl RUSSELL so far as to say that the revival was against Mr. GLAD STONE'S interests. Earl RUSSELL thinks that it would have been more expedient if the present PREMIER had re-united the Liberal party on some such question as Conservative extravagance, and had then dealt with Ireland at his leisure, It is The Revolutionists were gaining ground in Hayti.

The decrease in atmospherical pressure since yesterday morning has amounted in England and Scotland to more than 0 4 inch, and ha■ been remarkably uniform. At the Irish stations a slight increase has set in during the night. Pressure is low generally, especially in the north, but the reading at Nairn is only 0.4 a inches below that at Rochefort. Temperature has increased considerably in Great Britain and the west of France, whilst in Ireland it has fallen. Fresh to strong southerly winds blew on our south and west coasts yesterday, and amounted to a gale at some stations. Moderate southerly winds were reported elsewhere. This morning they have all decreased in force without much change in direction, except in the south-east, where it is almost calm. In France the easterly winds have given way to a westerly current. In the south and west rain has been general. The sky this morning remains cloudy, With rain in places. The sea is calm. A shocking calamity occurred early on Tuesday morning on the shore at Marsheide, near Southport. Soven men, five of whom were married, were out shrimping — an Operation which renders it necessary for the fishermen to wade into the water mid-deep—when a thick fog came on; and the poor fellows, being unable to retreat from the rapidly rising tide, were drowned. The Conservatives of Exeter have just set on foot a working men's association which is to "counteract the in-. roads of Democracy."

In a few days a gentleman shall be put forward is the Liberal interest, in whom you shall recognise an eminent orator and an ardent patriot—a man whose whole lifo has been one struggle for faith, freedom, and father land." It may be stated that this circular alluded to Mr, Ernest Jones, who was invited to stand for the vacant seat. Mr. Jones, however, was so ill when the invitation reached Manchester, that ho . 17A5 not allowed tJ know tAat it had taffli.l9l% THE QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE FROM ARREST. In the Vourt of Exchequer on Wednesa - ay, the Lord Chief Baron, with Barons Channell, Pigott, and Cleasby, sitting in banco, judgment was given in the case of Gilpin v. Cohen and Benjamin, which raised an important question on the subject of privilege from arrest. The defendant, Samuel Benjamin, was the first person charged under Mr. Russell Gurney's Act with felony, in misappropriating partnership funds. The magistrate at Worship-street, Mr. Ellison, remanded him for a few days on bail, and on his way from the court he was arrested under a ca. sa. upon a judgment obtained in this court in an action for debt. On Tuesday Mr. Besley moved, upon the affidavits of Benjamin and of his atttorney, Mr. T. W. Payne, who appeared for him at the police - court, for a rule to dis charge him from custody on the ground that he was privileged from arrest. Cause was shewn in the first in stance by Mr. Baylis, and at the conclusion of the argu ments the court postponed judgment. The Lord Chief Baron, who yesterday delivered the judgment of the court, said the privilege extended to prosecutors, witnesses, and jurors, both in civil and criminal cases, when going to the court, while they remained in court, and on their'return home. Why, then, should an exception be introduced in the case of an accused person remanded on bail, and who was under the same obligation to appear on the day of remand ? He saw no reason for such an exception and such an anomaly in the law. He was of opinion that Benjamin was privileged from arrest under a civil process, and without interfering with the decision of any court in England or Ireland the rule would be made absolute for his discharge from the custody of the Sheriff of Middlesex.—The other judges being of the same opinion, the rule was made absolute, without costs on either side, except so far as the judge at chambers had decided, it being understood that no action should be brought against the sheriff for illegal arrest. PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE DIRECTORS OF OVEREND, GURNEY, AND CO. The hearing of the charge of conspiracy against the directors of Overend, Gurney, and Co. was brought to a close on Wednesday afternoon. So strong a desire possessed the public mind to be present at the delivery of his lordship's decision, that the large open square in front of the Guildhall contained a veritable crowd an hour prior to the commencement of the proceedings. When, at half-past twelve, the doors leading to the Court of Queen's Bench were thrown open, every available seat was eagerly seized upon in a moment's space of time, some of the more advantageous positions being carried by sheer force of arms. But for the stringent regulations which the police were ordered to carry out in regulating the admission orders, orders which were obeyed to the letter, the court would have been over crowded by some hundreds. As it was, he would have been a clever man who could have found space even for standing in the gallery devoted to the public. Probably no examination before the civic authorities has ever excited more interest, and none has at all its stages been watched with greater jealousy. The defendants, Mr. J. H. Gurney, Mr. E. H. Gurney, Mr. R. Birkbeck, Mr. Gordon, Mr. Rennie, and Mr. Barclay, entered the court a few minutes before one, the hour at which the Lord Mayor sat, and occupied the seat immediately in front of their counsel, who, in accordance with ordinary practice at police courts, were not attired in wigs and gowns. The appearance of the accused was that of men who were fully alive to the peril of the position in which they were placed. They were accompanied into court by their bail and many of their other personal friends. It was some ten minutes after one when the Lord Mayor, clad in his robes and chain of office, took his seat upon the bench, attended by Alderman Thomas Gabriel (also in his robes), Alderman Sir Walter Carden, Alder man Sir Benjamin Phillips, Alderman Sir Francis Moon, Alderman Begley, and Alderman and Sheriff Cotton. The proceedings at the outset were of a very uninteresting character, for they consisted solely of the reading of the depositions of certain witnesses examined at the last sitting. These were— Mr. Thomas Clarke, who deposed to having taken 40 shares in the new limited company, and had paid £1,400 on them ; Mr. Francis Levien, the secretary of the com mittee of the Stick Exchange, who spoke to receiving documents of the limited company in conformity with the requirements of the Stock Exchange ; Mr. Robert Slater, jun., who is a member of the Stock Ex change, and who became connected with the limited com pany as a sort of pro tem. secretary to launch the concern ; Mr. Henry Bois, the secretary to Overend, Gurney, and Co. ; Mr. Thomas Howard, a Manchester cotton-mill owner, who spoke of having been brought into difficulties through his connection with Mr. Lever, of the Atlantic Royal Mail Company, and the Gurneys; and Mr. John Edwaid C. Koch, a metal merchant, in London, who said the Gurneys did not put in any claim against him when bankrupt in 1863 100 N's as ageut of two railWayri which had advances from Overend, Gurney, and Co., but was not indebted to them in £243,000. Mr. Henry Wm- Lewis's depositions referred to the documents in bank. ruptcy of the Atlantic Royal Mail Company, and other firms largely indebted to Overend, Gurney, and Co. (Limited) ; as did those of Mr. Smith to several other concerns that came under liquidation. Mr. Thomas Howell's depositions (which in the hearing occupied three days) were read over from the commence ment of the cross examination. He was the accountant appointed by the shareholders to go into the books, in addition to the two firms appointed by the Court of Chancery. Ernest Robinson (of the Bankruptcy Court, Basinghall-street) produced the proceedings in the bank ruptcy of several firms indebted to the limited company, which had been handed over by the old firm. Mr. Botcherley's (of Carlisle) depositions referred to the purchase of 120 shares, and the inducements which lead to that step. Mr. Thomas Harding (the representative of the accountants' firm of Harding, Whinney, Gibbon, and Co.) had his depositions read. They referred to the many transactions in which he had been personally concerned in the liquidation. Mr. Turquand (of the accountants' firm of Turquand, Youngs, and Co.) gave depositions of a similar character relating to the liquidation. Mr. Beard, Mr. Peek, and Dr. Adam Thom also had their depositions read over. For two hours the monotonous process of reading and si g ning the depositions went on. To those at the back part of the court the voice of Mr. Oke, the Lord Mayor's clerk, must have been utterly inaudible, not that the docu ments read, bristling as they did with figures culled from books to which only a passing allusion was made, would have been " understanded of the common people," but they nevertheless refused to budge an inch from the seats for which they had endured so severe a struggle until the fate of the accused was actually declared. Some little excitement there was when the name of Dr. Thom was called, and that gentleman, the acting prosecutor in the case, appeared in the witness-box: a suppressed murmur of approval proceeding from the large body of those shareholders in court who had suffered from the collapse of the concern. The first direct out spoken expression of public feeling, however, was reserved for Mr. Watkin Edwards, the official assignee in bank ruptcy, who was at th e same time an agent for Overend, Gurney, and Co., who was received with a storm of hisses which it required all the Lord Mayor's authority to allay. Mr. Edwards evidently felt the un pleasantness of his position, and presented a most melan choly appearance in the witness-box. The Lord Mayor, after commenting on the evidence of the various witnesses, committed all the defendants for trial. Bail was accepted in each case. KING GEORGE OF HANOVER.—The property of King George of Hanover, at present placed under the administration of the Prussian authorities, amounts in value, according to a statement in the Berlin papers, to £2,074,800, which, placed in the Prussian funds, would bring in an annual revenue of about £88,200. The expense of management, which is under the direction of the Superior President of the Council of Hanover, reaches £27,000. DISCOVERY OF A MISSING WOMAN.—On the 26th December last a servant girl at Islington had a holiday, and never returned. The police issued descriptive placards of the missing woman, but nothing was heard of her. Her dead body has now been found in the New River at High bury. She was discovered in the mud of the river fully dressed, with her earrings in her ears, shewing that she had not been robbed. A post-mortem examination has been ordered to ascertain the actual cause of death. A RACE WITH VELOCIPEDES,—On Wednesday morning a race was determined on the Dulwich-road, in which four gentlemen engaged with velocipedes over two miles of ground for a sweepstakes of £2O. The first mile was got over in five minutes, Mr. Merry commanding a slight lead ; the next mile was sharply contested, and terminated, after a spirited race, by Mr. Waloski winning by foul lengths, and accomplishing the two miles in nine-and-a-half minutes. Mr. Platt was second. The " velocipeclians" outpaced the horsemen who rode after them. ACCIDENT TO LORD MAIDSTONE.—We regret to announce that Lord Maidstone, eldest son of the Earl of Winchelsea, who is residing in Folkestone with the countess and family, met with a serious accident on Tues day. His lordship was out riding at Broadmead, about two miles distant, and in leaping a fence fell from hiR horse and sustained a severe fracture of the leg. One of the borough police, who fortunately was near, and saw the accident, got assistance, and his lordship was conveyed home, and the leg set by Mr. 3owlee and the tm ordiar HER MAJESTY. OsBORNE, Jan. 27. The Queen, accompanied by Prince Leopold and Princess Beatrice, and attended by Lady Churchill, drove out yesterday afternoon.

THE ORDNANCE SELECT COMMITTEE. ---~---- In a very long article the Herald discusses the position and powers of the Ordnance Select Committee, which l' Be just departed this life. It is evident how important the duties of this committee were—the decision on I ° l3 ' xeapons should be used by our army and na y !' In connection with every army there must be some authority to look after these matters. In the last century committees were appointed to decide on each Pa r " ticular invention. But theinconvenience of a changingc ollv inittee was felt t o be too great for continuance, and et the commencement of the present century a fixed committee was appointed. The way in which this worked iva a follows :—An i nven t or placed the effort of his brain before the Master of Ordnance, who put it for consideration .iefore the committee, the committee discussing th e -natter and repo r ti ng th e i r conc l us i on t o th e M a ster. I. '" ;lad the ultimate decision. By and by the business 61° increased that the Master only brought under t he notice of the committee what he considered the most important inventions. Thus a new grievan c e sprung up, and several o th er temporary com mitte e ' were appointed to assist the standing one. But that vi° only confusion, and after some time one committee W I: appointed to have the decision in th e i r own h an d s . But it was formed on too gigantic a scale, and in 1855 had t ° remodelled, and made smaller, the members being remove') from all other duties to attend to the work of the committee' It is this committee which has been abolished because of the accumulation of work on the committee, the disag ree ; ments which took pla ce , an d th e i ncom p e t en ce of s o ns ° the members. Th e H era ld i s no t qu it e convinced othe wisdom of the suppression. The new committee y is only acting provisionally, and in forming a l one the first great question of importance la-- How far is it desirable that the " committee °I; inventions " should consist only of officers of artillerYa There is much in common between artillery stores for lant and sea service, and the opinion of a naval officer n' ll i e v often be of great value. Many questions are P ar" artillery and partly engineers' questions, such as the eta if ; ployment of Moncrieff batteries. The point the ilera would like to see well considered is this—wheti, 1 le T; considering the immense importance of the quest'°"t submitted to the committee of inventions, or whateve r , 0 maybe called, it would not be well worth while to m ake the salaries of its members sufficiently good to ensure a' s i taming the highesttalent and experience fromall bran°l3eo of the service. This is not at present the case. Th ere y no department of the army where any small ec o2l°° ' could be more utterly misplaced. TWENTY-EIGHT MEN CONFINED IN it PIT.
