THE first, and by far the most important, phase of the electoral contest in France terminated at six o'clock on Monday evening, and, so far as Paris is concerned, the returns are sufficiently complete to de cisively indicate the result. The struggle has been very remarkable. Whilst the aristocracy, the beau monde and the demi-monde, were hastening away to witness the "French Derby" at Chantilly—for the French are imitating our " national sport," but choose Sunday for their favourite racing-day— the middle and working classes of the country were hastening to the poll with a zeal never before known under the Empire. The voting has passed off with ir reproachable order, though the number of votes given has been much greater than on any previous occa sion. In Paris, indeed, the figures shew that almost the entire strength of the constituencies has been polled. In Paris the..result has been an almost unanimous and uncompromising protest against the Empire. The number of votes given is greater, the deputies chosen hold more extreme opinions, and the official candidates are more hopelessly in the minority than even in 1863, when not a single supporter of the Government was successful. The test election in the capital was in the second circumscription, where N. BANCEL, a deputy in the Chamber of 1843, and t n enemy outranee of the EMPEROR, has been oprosed to M. EMILE OLLIVIER, the advocate of "Liberty under the Empire." The one would accept NAPOLEON'S dynasty if he would grant a free Govern ment ; the other will not cease to strive for the EMPEROR'S overthrow, let him make what conceassions he may. M. BANCEL has defeated N. OLLIVIER by a majority of nearly two to one. In other cases where there has been a choice the extreme representatives of the Opposition have been successful against the more moderate opponents of Imperialism. M. GAMBETTA, a rising lawyer of singular eloquence, and an:extreme Republican, has defeated M. CARNOT, the moderate Liberal who, sat for Paris in the last Parliament. M. RASPAIL, another of the Reds, has the advantage over GARNIER-PAGES, another Moderate. In some cases the combat has not had a final issue. It is necessary that the successful candidate should gain at least one more than one-half the whole number of votes polled, and in three or four circumscriptions no com petitor has.succeeded in doing this. But the second ballot which will thus be required cannot alter the re sult in favour of the G overnm ent. The double voting has in every instance been rendered necessary by contests between three or four candidates of the same politics. The less-favour e d asp i ran t s w ill n ow retire, and Paris will then ret urn t o th e C or ps Legislatif nine deputies who for the most part are pledged to no policy less moderate than the complete overthrow of the EMPEROR'S dynasty. This result ,is of great importance. Paris does indeed command but nine seats out of the 283 in the Chamber, and the incomplete returns from the departments shew that the rural districts, as usual, are choosing very few Liberal deputies. But the numbers in this case by no means represent the relative strength of the two parties. The intellect of France is centred in the capital, much more so than in England or in any other country of Europe. In all great contests in our own country the capital has exercised an influence proportionate to its wealth and population, but its unaided strength has never proved equal to great changes. Neither of the great revolutions of the seventeenth century would have been effected without aid from the country. On the other hand, most of the great changes which France has undergone, and especially the terrible revolutions of the last hundred years, have been decided by the voice of Paris alone. London is but a fraction of Britain ; but Paris is, in a certain sense, the whole of France. All experience shews that the French ruler who has not the capital on his side will meet with disaster in the end. In the case of most Governments such a protest as that given in Paris on Sunday and Monday would have been immediately decisive. The Second NAPOLEON is far stronger than any of his immediate predecessors : 'he will be able to keep revolution doWn by force of arms, and his country deputies will vote down constitutional opposition in the Chamber. For his lifetime the EMPEROR is probably safe; but the prospect after him—and men of 61 must look to the future—is, to say the least, uncertain. Paris has been offered moderate Liberalism in the shape of an able politician who has been very successful in obtaining liberal concessions. He has been rejected. The EMPEROR, might possibly have conciliated the capital in his favour by a relaxation of personal rule. He has not thought . it wise to make the attempt, and Paris has accordingly given a " Red " vote. With the country on his side, and the strongest instruments of force in his hands, the EMPEROR, we repeat, is safe; but the temper of Paris lust greatly change before the slightest hope can be entertained of a Napoleonic dynasty. LATEST INTELLIGENCE (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) SPAIN. MADRID, 11Iay 26. In yesterday's sitting the Constituent Cortes resumed the discussion on the remaining clauses of the Constitution. Senor Castelar threw considerable blame upon the Colonial clause, and said, alluding to Cuba : " If Spain had followed the example given by Eng land in her dealings with Canada, the liberties which the colonies claim. for themselves would have successfully prevented the outbreak of an in surrection." Marshal Serrano replied that General Dulce had granted the liberties required by that party—pas sions had blinded the inhabitants to the intentions of Government. The insurrection, as regards its physical strength, was almost suppressed, and 600 filibusters had lately been defeated, nevertheless the moral disorder was likely to disappear more slowly. As soon as the normal state of things should be re-established the. Government would, in conjunction with the Cuban deputies,. suppress slavery by a well-considered measure, and proceed with inexorable severity against all persons cn gaged in the slave trade. It is confidently expected that the discussion on the Constitution will close to-morrow. AMERICA. - NEW YORK, May 25. According to ➢ir.

MESSINA, May 26. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Delta passed through the Straits of Messina en route far Marseilles at 7.30 a.m. this day. FALMOUTH, May 2G. The London, Belgium, Brazil, and River Plate Royal Mail Steam Company's steamer City of Brussels has arrived here with 83 passengers. Her dates are Buenos Ayres, April 17th ; Monte Video, 20th ; Rio, 29th ; Bahia, May 6th ; and St. Yin. cent, 15th. According to advices received at Rio Count D'Eu had arrived at the Allied camp, and was re ceived with enthusiasm. Lopez was avoiding the troops. THE BEQUEST TO BISHOP GOSS. The widow of Mr. Moreton, the solicitor of Liverpool who gave all his money to the Roman Catholic Bishop of Liverpool, has tried to get all her late husband's property, and seems likely to get little or none. Dr. Goss, it is said, male up his mind to offer the widow what would appear to be an ample provision ; but his resolution came too late. The Crown has now come upon the scene, and Dr. Goss and Mrs. Moreton are not unlikely to see the property for which theyare contending handed over to her Majesty's represen tatives. The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster now contests the will, and claims the entire freehold estate for her Majesty' in default of an heir-at-law. The case therefore stands thus : should the will be set aside, as it seems not at all improbable that it will be, the Grown will be entitled to take the whole of the free hold and one half of the personal estate, and to have the other half of the personal estate applied, as far as it will go, to the payment of the mortgages on the freehold, which amount to double the personalty. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 26, 1869. The Opposition to Personal Government manifested in the large towns of France proves already, as the Elections go on, to be, in one word, nothing less than —portentous. The departments are, as a matter of course, returning in large numbers the official candi dates. But the electors of Paris and of the principal cities of the Empire are manifesting, with astounding unanimity, their sympathy with the advocates of a more popular form of Government. "Liberty and the EMPEROR" are still the double watchword on their lips. 'I bey aspire after no dynastic change whatever. They avow their antagonism to anything like a revolutionary movement. What they look for is the substitution of Responsible for simply Per sonal, or, iu other words, Autocratic Government. Ministers responsible to the Legislature they would see installed in office, under allegiance to the Em rEnott. What they aim at, in point of fact, is what M. ROUHER has long opposed, what M. OLLivrEe has so often advocate I. And with their aspirations, Paris a n d th e great c i t i es o f F rance most heartily sympathi s e. The peasantry, it is hardly surprising to observe, in no way realise the force of all these politico-philosophic considerations weighing so profoundly with the electors, say, of the metro polis. The rural population, in fact, have literally no cognisance of it. As yet it is " undreamt of in" their " philosophy." M. HENRI ROCHEFORT, going about here and there like another DIOGENES with his Lanterne, has been able to throw no glim mering of light into those remote quarters peopled by the more unsophisticated cultivators of the soil. And so it is coming to pass, now, very much as it has come to pass heretofore,' that numerically the suppor ters of the Government returned to the Imperial Legislature are out of all proportion to the aggregate number of the members of the Opposition. The in tellectual strength of the Opposition, however, is still, for all that, as conspicuously as ever, perhaps more conspicuously than ever, apparent. Besides which the Opposition has at its back the sup port of the most intelligent and powerful of the constituencies. Paris and her sister cities, north, south, east and west—the wealthiest, the most energetic, the most highly civilized communities within the boundaries of France—are earnestly, devotedly, enthusiastically the upholders of the can didates of the Opposition. Meanwhile, NAPOLEON M.—even his enemies admit it—is, appreciably by all Europe during these last twenty years, one of the most sagacious men, individually, anywhere to be found in the length and breadth of all France. He more vividly perhaps than any one else appreciates the force and the significance of the continually reiterated fact, a fact upon each occasion reiterated with a greater and greater emphasis, that Paris, that • all the great cities of France, without exception, are resolutely opposed to the continuance of the system of Personal Govern ment. Upon the complete crowning of the political edifice mainly depends the lightening of the prospect, widening outward, extending onward, into the future for the Napoleonic dynasty. As the years of his life and of his reign are numbering up, the EM PEROR is assuredly acquiring a keener and a yet keener sense of all this. .He is not the man to content himself with the epigram of Apres moi le deluge. The possibility of a Regency under. the Empress EUGENIE, he has long ago contemplated. And whether the PRINCE IMPERIAL is to succeed to his title as NAPOLEON IV. during his minority, or somelittle time afterwards, the restorer of the dynasty to power, the author of the Second Empire, the heir to the fortunes of NAPOLEON LE GRAND, the Sove reign now reigning over 40,000,000 Frenchmen, i , . not precisely the man to contemplate with in difference the imminent risk there would be at this moment of his son's inheriting, together with his crown, a chaotic jumble of political difficulties. Problems still urgently requiring solution, NAro- LEON HI. more effectively than his successor could possibly have the chance of doing, remain yet to be solved—must eventually be solved—might any day that he lists, be solved at once by hint. The very relations in which the EMPEROR has long been known to stand in regard to such a man as M. EMILE OLLIVIER lends encour agement to the hope of those who still cling to the notion that NAPOLEON 111. regards the political edifice as yet to a considerable extent uncrowned. How ever or whenever crowned, in accordance with the aspirations of the more intellectual constituencies of France, the Empire has still this broad and solid foundation beneath it, that it is based upon Demo cracy. TO -DAY Englishmen proclaim their Saxon descent by performing their great annual act of horse worship. The race on the Epsom Downs is to the 19th century what the white effigy on the downs of Wiltshire and Berkshire was to the sth. Then HENGIST and HORSA fought for the white horse which they bore on their standards ; to-day their descendants bet upon the favourite. It was serious work in that old time when the two Saxon chiefs came to the aid of VORTIGRRN against the Picts; it is a serious play in our time when men win or lose a fortune upon the event of a few seconds. There were vanquishers and vanquished then ; there are vanquishers and vanquished now. The owners of great names bit the dust in that great conflict of races ; the owners of great names sometimes bite the dust now, in a metaphorical manner. But then we have improved upon the former times. Then men used to lose life, now they lose merely honour. There was gallant fighting in the fifth century; there is underhand plotting in the nineteenth. Ourancestors used to charge at each other openly ; their descen dants get at each other's horses secretly. Civilisation substitutes cunning for brute force. It is not the strongest who wins, but the wisest. The race is not to the swift, but-to the meet knowing. In all gravity, it is a serious reflection that our great national holiday is every year becoming less and less of one, is becoming the most toilsome and harrassing day in the whole year. It was pleasant enough in the good old days, somewhat later than HENGIST and HORSA, to travel down by road and enjoy the fun on the way, and to watch the race with scarcely a perceptible,quickening of the pulse, and to see the winning number announced without the slightest shadow of anxiety. It was a pretty sight, and provided the weather was fine and the company genial, the holiday was a real day of refreshment and recreation. But the number of persons who can enjoy it is becoming fewer every larger ; Every year th e a tt en d ance o f spec t a t ors i s every year the number of holiday-takers is smaller. The Derby is now a serious business; it has given work for :NU days, and this, the :_:6sth, is the most laborious day of all. Its result will make all the difference between luxury and poverty for the coming twelvemonths. The annual income depcne.s uron an event that is wholly beyond the earner's influence. He thinks that by rising up early and by late taking rest, by studying the prophets and reading the stable notes, be will be able to secure himself against loss. But he soon learns that he is dealing with knaves. it the last moment his favourite horse is scratched; or, if it runs, it runs not to win. He can do nothing to counteract or provide against this. No diligence, no cleverness will pre vent him from becoming embarrassed for life. In any other trade integrity and industry have their reward; but not in this. Would it not be wise THE TICHBORNE BARONETCY CASE. Another feature in this remarkable case came before Lord Penzance in the Probate Court on Tuesday. Dr. Deane, Q.C., on behalf of a creditor, moved to appohtt an administrator pendente lite. The learned counsel said that Lady Tichborne died on the 20th March, 1%8, and the question which had arisen in another cause was whether the son should administer the estate. The Court of Chancery had appointed a receiver, but he was not authorised to disburse sums of money, and on account of this creditors could not obtain their money. He, therefore, asked that Mr. Humphreys, who had been appointed receiver by Chancery, should be appointed administrator by this court. The learned counsel sub mitted that this course being adopted, the estate would not be prejudiced, as the debts would have to be paid some time. Dr. Swabey, counsel for the plaintiff in the other cause referred to, said he did not object to an administrator being appointed ; but it was usual to refer such matters to the registrar, who appointed a third person not objected to by either party. The receiver in Chancery bad been appointed at the instance of the defendant ; so, of course. he (Dr. Swabey) objected to him. The Solicitor-General, Q.C., opposed the motion. The receiver appointed by the Court of Chancery had specific instructions how he was to act. Another point was that the Court of Chancery had ordered payment of the funeral expenses of Lady Tichborne out of the estate. That could not be termed a personal debt, so that a fortiori they would be able to order the payment of really personal liabilities. The learned gentleman also referred to the actions which were pending, and pointed out that the costs in Chancery took precedence of the costs in a cause in the Probate Court. The Judge Ordinary said that the material question was whether this court should arm a man with double powers. He fully saw the difficulty of appointing two receivers, one from this court and one from Chancery, as people would not know who to pay the money to. Dr. Deane thought that funeral expenses were different to ordinary debts. Lord Penzance said that on the face of it it seemed unjust that a creditor, say of £lOO, should be unable to obtain his money when there was a large estate ; but the great question in his mind was whether the court had ever granted administration at the instance of anyone not a party directly interested in the will. lie was of opinion that the power sought for should be obtained from the Court of Chancery, who had given authority for the estate to be collected. Under these circumstances, at present he should refuso the appointment of Dr. Deane, but if the Court of Chancery said they desired that he should appoint an administrator, he should be most happy to do so. The Western Daily Press says :—" The name of an illustrious personage will be mentioned in association with the co-respondents in the divorce case of Sir Charles Mordaunt, but there is good reason to believe that the lady's self-accusings were the result of mental excitement, and have no other foundation." Another strike, this time of non-union men, has occurred at the Denaby Main colliery. The non-unionists, who had been engaged by the proprietors, have ceased to work in consequence of an attempt to make a change in the system of payment, which the men regarded as equivalent to a reduction of wages. The men on strike are endeavouring to obtain admission to the Union, and to obtain help from the association while they are unemployed. THE KNIFE IN BELFAST. —On Saturday even ing two boys disputed on the lawn of the Botanic Gardens, when one of them stabbed the other in the arm with a knife. The police were called upon, and they took the wounded boy to the General Hospital. The boy who used the knife has not yet been arrested. The affray caused considerable commotion, and it was rumoured that he boy was killed. The wound is not dangerous. This is the only casualty mentioned in connection with the great Protestant demonstration ; whether this ::was a party quarrel is not yet ascertained. TIIE REPEES ENTA MN OF NEWCASTLE. --TllO SAiclJs Daily News gives the following :—" The hon. mem. her for Newcastle, Mr. Joseph Cowen, M.P., is likely to retire soon in favour of his son, Mr. John Anthony Cowen, or Mr. Hugh Taylor, of Chipehase. Mr. Cowen is getting old, and, although enjoying pretty fair health, is anxious to lead a more quiet life. His son, Mr. Joseph Cowen, jun., is now laid up, and enjoys bad health, so that his second son or Mr. Taylor are likely to come forward. Mr. Hammond will again come forward, although the Conser vative party will have a man ready of their own choice." ANOTHER FENIAN ARRESTED.—A young man named Patrick Joyce, a national school teacher, aged about 24 years, and residing at a place called Cushalagart, within about three miles of Westport, has been arrested in that town under the following circumstances :—lt was the fair day of that town, and it appears the prisoner was considerably under the influence of drink in the even ing, and was standing with his back up to a confec tioner's window. His unsteady attitude in this rather delicate situation attracted the attention of the police, when one of them desired him to "move on," which he several times refused to do, when Constable Macgetigan, of the Westport Quay, considered it his duty to arrest him, and had him brought to the Westport Barracks, where he was searched, when some suspicious documents were found in his possession, purporting to be the Fenian oath (in writing). Joyce was brought before a magistrate for examination, and was lodged in Castlebar Gaol. SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST AN ENGLISH CAPTAIN. —On April 21 the French ship Bretagne from Buenos Ayres to Bordeaux was run into off the coast of Brazil by the English iron ship Explorer, bound for Melbourne, and as the English vessel was going at a speed of nine knots an hour, and the French at six, the shock was terrible, and the latter foundered in a few minutes. Meantime, the captain, who had his wife on board, launched the long boat, which was found incapable of containing the number of persons who crowded in it, and was almost immediately capsized. The crew, therefore, were left to struggle in the open sea with nothing but a few beams and planks to grasp, and after an agony of nearly an hour the captain, who had exhausted himself in supporting his wife in the water, resigned himself to his fate in consigning her to the care of some of his men who were seen clinging to the keel of the capsized boat. All this time the English ship had continued her course with out paying any attention to the cries for assistance, but having also received some damage, was obliged to lie-to to repair. The shipwrecked mariners perceiving this deten tion managed to reach the vessel, and were receivedby the captain, but with a bad grace. He then sailed for Bahia, but on arriving in sight of that port, fearing that com plaints of his conduct would be made and that he might be detained, made the persons whom he had picked up get into a boat and abandoned them, proceeding on his voyage, They reached the land at six o'clock, having left the Ex plorer at two, and immediately waited upon the French consul and made their report. MAY MEETINGS. —After an interval, the May meetings seem suddenly to have arisen again. Thr ee were held on Tuesday. The tenth anniversary of the London City Missions was held. It appeared from the report that the number of missionaries labouring within the City boundaries during the past year has been fourteen, and towards the support of that reduced number of the society's agents the auxiliary has received £845 178., being a little over £6O a mis sionary. The National Temperance League held a conversazione. About 1,000 attended. Large col. lections of works of art were exhibited, and some photo- graphs of the East were lent by Dean Stanley.--The annual meeting of the supporters of refuges for the hom e . less and destitute children was holden on the same day in Exeter Hall. The large room was crowded. On the plat. form there was a choir of COO children, including the sailor boys in their uniforms from the training ship Ch;chester. The report stated that since the commence- ment of the work in 1813 there had been nothing but progress and success. The Refuge work was now the largest of its kind in London, upwards of 500 boys and girls being dependent upon the committee for their support. The family now under the care of the committee consists of 400 boys and 112 girls. The average weekly number in the Refuge during 1868 was 147. Of the 369 admitted in /868, 216 had been sent to the training. ship Chichester, which continued to be an invaluable ott let for a large number of the boys sent to the Refuge ; 22 boys emigrated during the year, of whom 18 were sent to Canada. The accounts received by the committee as to ' the conduct of former emigrants were very encouraiaz. I PROTESTANT MEETINGS. AR3IAGH. True to their promises, the Orangemen of Ireland and the Conservatives of England are holding monster gather. ings to protest against the Irish Church Bill. The Belfast meeting was an undoubted success. The meeting of Pres byterians favourable to the principle of Protestant endow ment, which was held at Armagh, was a comparatively small affair, following in the wake of the Orange demon stration. It is calculated that about 1,200 persons were present, and they are represented to have exhibited great enthusiasm. Mr. T. Cumming, M.D., occupied the chair. He declared himself, as a Presbyterian, strenuously and consistently opposed to the " unjust and revolu tionary" bill. The Rev. John Bell moved the first resolution, which was to the effect that the country Ad hered to the principle hitherto maintained by the Presby terian Church—namely, that it was the duty of the State to support the Gospel. He regarded the Presbyterian Church of Ireland as the model of an endowed Church, and that their rulers, instead of being disposed to get rid. of the endowment, ought to look to it as a pattern of na tional policy which should be sustained and increased. Fie predicted very melancholy results if the " Revolu tionary Spoliation Bill" passed. He observed that if they had sent cartloads of petitions into the House of Commons they would not have the weight of a feather, but with the Lords they must have due weight and respect. Mr. William Boyd, who seconded the resolu tion, contradicted the statement that the Presbyterians were in favour of the bill. The Rev. James Fleck defended the principle of endowments by reference to the terms of the Westminster Confession of Faith, and maintained that the Church had done no evil to deserve the treatment intended for it, but had fulfilled its mission. Mr. M. Bell proposed a resolution condemning the bill, and entered into calculations to shew that it would be prejudicial to the Presbyterian Church. He stated that in the Presbytery of Armagh, which included 22 con gregations, £1,042 7s. ld. had been subscribed towards the maintenance of the clergy, and £7B 6s. Gd. towards the sustentation fund. That was about £5O for each member. According to the new policy they were to have £2OO a year, which was small enough ; but in order to give them that amount the Presbyterians would have to quadruple their subscriptions, and raise £3,000 more every year. There were 600 ministers and 552,668 members in the Presbyterian Churches, and if each minister received £2OO a year they would require 2120,000 for the support of the ministry alone. lie was afraid that so large a sum could not be raised in Ireland. Mr. J. Maxwell moved the next resolution, in which the meeting " repudiated the opinions of a small section of Presbyterians who had assumed that they represented a great majority." The Rev. E. D. Eliot, Portadown, went into an analysis of the votes at the last election to prove that the Presby terians were opposed to the rolicy of the bill. He said that in Dublin only 23 Preshyterians voted for the Liberal candidate, in Newry 25, in Derry 177, in Belfast 1,000. The entire number of Presbyterians who voted in the north for Liberal candidates was 6,125, while the Presby terian population amounted to 523,000. The Rev. A. M'Cullagh exhorted them to stand together, and let their motto be "No surrender." A petition against the bill was then adopted. OMAGH'. A crowded meeting of Presbyterians was held on Tues day in the largest of their churches in Omagh. About 1,500 attended. It was addressed by the chairman, Mr. Greer (Crown solicitor), the Rev. Messrs. Hanna, Mitchell, Donnell, Dill, Smith, Lyle, Gilmore, and others. Resolutions were passed expressing unqualified disapprobation of the bill, repudiating the statement that Presbyterians were favourable to it, and calling on the Lords to reject or amend it. BIRMINGHAM. A crowded and enthusiastic meeting was held in Bir- mingham, on Tuesday, in the Town Hall, Lord Harrowby presiding, in opposition to Mr. Gladstone's bill for the dis establishment and disendowment of the Irish Church. Lord Harrowby said Mr. Gladstone's measures would be a breach of national faith with the Irish Protestants, who were sent into an enemy's country with a pledge that they should have the comfort of a national Protestant Church ; and in the name of liberty and equality it would give predo minance to a Church which anathematises both liberty an equality. Ho deprecated the system of coaxing Romanism in Ireland ; a system which was extending to this country, so that we could not speak of Romanism above our breath, or else a hostile mob was threatened, and the Home Secretary searched out an obsolete statute to stifle discussion. Mr. Sampson S. Lloyd, the Conservative candidate for Birmingham at the late election, moved the first resolu tion, which wns as follows :--" That the bill to put an end to the establishment of the Church in Ireland involves a violation of the Act of Union, an attack upon the security of property, and a renunciation cf the principle that the Government of the United Kingdom is Protestant; and that the House of Lords will consult the best interests of the country by rejecting it." He said that IZumanism was already too strong fur good government here and in Ireland, and he called upon the English people to 'make a stand - 'in tirne - The Church question lay at the root of liberty, enlightenment, rnd progress. Mr.. Nemlegate, M.P., who seconded the motion, said if the property of minorities was to be confiscated, let the Romanists in England look out, for England did not love monasteries and convents; and if Romanists in their pride supposed they could rob a Protestant minority in Ireland let them not look for security for their monastic property in England. The motion was supported by the Rev. Brewin Grant, M.A., and carried unanimously. Dr. Sebastian Evans moved : "That a petition be at once drawn up praying their lordships to reject the bill." Mr. W. T. Charley, M.P., seconded this, and it was supported by Mr. J. C. S. Fremantle and the Rev. C Mallon, M.A., and agreed to. WAKEFIELD. A meeting of the opponents of the Irish Church Bill, the second of the series now being organised in the West Riding under the auspices of the Yorkshire Church Insti tution, has also been held at Wakefield. Mr. Sanderson, the Conservative candidate for the borough at the late election, presided, and speeches were delivered by Pro fessor Foley, from Ireland ; Alderman Shaw—who had previously been a strong Liberal, but who, on this question, differs from his party--two working men, and others. The following resolutions were passed, amid great enthusiasm : " That this meeting regards the Government bill now before Parliament for the disestablishing and plundering the Church in Ireland as wrong in principle and in policy, and as an attack against the basis upon which the rights of property are established." " That petitions be promoted to the House of Lords to reject the bill, and so thereby to protect the religion of the country and the rights of property, and defend the Queen from being asked to violate her Coronation Oath." The rejoicings at Carnarvon in honour of young Mr. Asheton Smith's majority have been marred by two fatal accidents. During the illunrinatious at Vaeuol, a pair of horses attached to a gentleman's carriage while passing through the town became restive and one of them fell on the postilion, causing his instant death. Again at Gaerwen some workmen, anxious to show a good feeling towards their young master, were engaged in firing off a gun, as an attempt at a /eu de joie, when it exploded, killing a man. Other accidents are also stated to have taken place in the past week. Two NEW MEMBERS OF THE REFORM CLUB.— After the arduous struggle for Reform had terminated in the great victory of 1832 (the Daily News remarks), it was felt that the increase of social intercourse among Reformers would tend to strengthen and sustain the principles of true Liberalism. With a view to bring about this result the Reform Club was founded. It has become the rule for active members of the Liberal party to seek enrol ment in its ranks. For some years, however, the leader of the Reformers has not been a member of the Reform Club. This anomaly is now a thing of the past. In a way most flattering to Mr. Gladstone and honourable to the Club, he has been elected under a rule specially passed to provide for cases in which unusual personal merit or valuable party services might be fitly recognised and rewarded. Two members only can be admitted annually in accordance with this lute. The second person selected for the honour is Earl Granville, a Minister to whom the compliment is deservedly paid. Ey the Liberal party throughout the country the action of the Reform Club in this matter will assuredly be noted with unalloyed plea3ut e. AN " ENOCH ARDEN" CASE AT GLASOOIV.—In the year 1864 a painter belonging to Pcrt-Glasgow left that 'town and joite.l the American army. From time to time, for twelve months thereafter, word was regularll received from him, the la3t w.nd being that he was pi o mated to be a sergeant in the 'Union army. About two months after that letter was received another came to his wife in Port-Glasgow stating that her husband, the ser geant, was no more, having been shot in one of the battles in which General Lee was the opposing commander. His widow, his father, mother, brothers, and sisters mourned for him as dead, and donned the usual habili• ments for twelve months. After that his supposed widow was married, and with her second husband lived happy till Friday night, when her former husband arrived at Port-Glasgow, all alive, and in excellent health. The wife refuses to leave her second spouse, while the first threatens to take legal proceedings to compel her to share his bed and board. How the matter may end it is prema ture to conjecture. Meanwhile, the gossips of Port Glasgow are busy discussing the matter. The first bus band was in Greenock on Monday, consultini a legal gentlemmlitist. tag co_upn he ovklit SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALL The Times says that an illusion is steadily kept up 0 0 "the great national holiday." Why disturb this gloriel° Utopia by introducing into it the stiff co mmonplace' 4 everyday etiquette? Let it have a congenial code, or fl code, of its own. Let there be.a reign of misrule, every body doing what seemeth to him right in his own ele s ' providing only that it be done for the sa k e o f jovialitlsl Pl fun ; and if these limits are o ccas i ona lly overs t e pped, le i the sin be forgiven in consideration of the great fact thet it was committed on the Derby Day. But, unluckilY• the innocent freedom thu s c l a i me d f or th e D er by Day is I' ll ,: another creation of im ag i na ti ve m i n d s . P ra ctically , degenerates into the assumption of an unlimited right t 0 get drunk—almost the only notion which many Engl" men have of unrestrained fun. To tell them that thel may do what they like in the way of jollity is virtually te tell them that they may drink what they like, withou t being held responsible for all that they do afterwards, an average Englishman's notion of fun when he he s drunk too much is apt to take any but agreeable. amiable forms. The reign of misrule which theoreticel l l offers such a chi rming abandonment for once of aisl e conventionalities and stiff etiquette, and which gives even the most solemnly decor o u s o f E ng li s h men a c hance s' thoroughly enjoying himself, becomes practically an excu se for those exhibitions of unmannerly and brutal buffooneln that so frequently disgrace " the great national holidal , and furnish some ground for the opinion which foreigni are already too prone to form of us. Th e r emedh s course, lies in an appeal to public opinion. Decent Engli sh ' men do not get drunk in the streets or in the dining-rou si now that such conduct is considered disgraceful. r, s/ would be equally careful to observ e thi s rule even on tel e great annual day of misrule if its violation were genere lll considered to involve the same disgrace. Nor can we s ee that such abstinence would at all spoil the national holiday If so, it must spoil all the dinners and balls a t ',AO' people are now-a-days content to drink enough for hea ilh and geniality, but riot enough to make them oblivious °` reckless of the ordinary decencies of society. Even the Derby Day thus observed would not necessarill lose any of its really characteristic fun and chaff, 10 11° it would greatly improve by losing what we still MI we may consider its uncharacteristic coarseness W I brutality. The Herald says that the great Turf festival has he sii watched for in the remotest corners of the kingdora weeks beforehand. If the influence of the race is übigu l. tons, permeating through each one of our social layer s ' not less true is it that the race itself and all its acc°lll: ponying phenomena are such as you could &Ynowhere else, intensely English, thoroughly national. Long W ei the race live as an English holiday ; and happy will it l ie for all concerned when that holid a y ce a ses t o b e purchase ; by the frustration of so many ambitions, the shirr/re: of such high hopes, the loss, partial or entire, l" princely revenues so lavishly mi s -sp e nt, th e tarnisbe" prestige and dimmed lustre of names which, as they 0 a national possesion, should be a national pride. Yet , $6 we have just said, be certain of its access or ie s what th e .' , may, the Derby is, as it will remain, pre.eminentlY national holiday. Dr. Johnson was in the habit of saYi l l that no one could pretend "to have received a liber'' education who had not seen Rome." Assuredly no 0 13 1 , e can flatter himself that he has perfected his Engl i training until he has seen the D e rby. Nati o nal ebara°l er to be studied should be studied ea masse. But the condu ct of the crowd is unimpeachably decorous. Good hurO ir reigns everywhere, and even those continental criti c/ who impeach us on the ground of our phlegmatisra are frank enough to admit that you may search Etat through and through bef ore y ou come across suc h In concourses as you see in England, persistently preserrleh such a high measure of good nature.. The Standaql does not anticipate the rejection of t he Irish Church Bill in the House of Lords. It says 0; the majority of the Peers are fully convinced that it: iniquitous and dangerous; that it threatens alike the religion and the peace of Ireland ; that it violates alike t c `" Constitution of the realm and the rights of p r opertli Their consciences as legislators, their interests as laud e proprietors, their feelings as Englishmen and Protestan tsi are all against it. Yet it does not think that they ill il , deem it wise to reject a measure which has not ow received the sanction of an overwhelming majority of th e Lower House, but the antecedent approval of the coal. try. There is a reaction of feeling, provoked by th manifest injustice of certain clauses and the high-bear de d violence of the Liberal Government, which will in ' ll , time bear fruit ; b u t no thi ng cou ld so effectually °b ee f 1. its progress, and reanimate the zeal and passion ee Liberals, at present lukewarm and disgusted, than t; peremptory rejection of the bill on the second reading " the Upper House. By such a step the Lords would fat to negative the decision of the constituencies upon question submitted to them at the elections; and til e , can be no doubt that this would provoke the cot. tuencies to reassert a decision of which they are h% inclined to repent. It think s , therefore, as it has thong ° ever since the second reading made it plain that t he Liberal majority were determined, that the bill must P 35 4, But though it neither expects nor desires that the LOP" . should reject the bill, it looks w ith h o p e an d i nter mit .o their action upon it. A most important part of the clal t) , l- the Legislature still r ema i ns t o b e per f orme d , an d c an °Pi be fulfilled by thc P eers . Th e d ec i s i on upon th e pr inciple of bill was given at the hustings. It was there deeiclea" that the Irish Church should cease to be established , ° should be deprived of such part of its revenues as it do in virtue of its establishment. The shaping of the ° was the office of the Cabinet. Every vote on the Libel -side was assured before the amendments were made WO' and the bill reaches the House of Lords with no 1 0 , 1 authority, no more sanction of its details, than it 1 1 0, received when it was read a second time. It is the b im o i not of the country, not of the House of Commons, 1 1 ° t the Liberal party, but of her Majesty's Government , . more accurately speaking, of Mr. Bright and Mr. Glad stone. The duty of criticising, correcting, and modif l ' it in detail rests with the House of Lords. at me The Daily News says that the promoters of the gee Prot. meeting at Belfast succeeded in bringing rd , great number of people together—ninety thousand acc° to ing to one computation, thirty thousand according o another. The former estimate is probably rhetorical• o f authors, if we may parody and reverse what Pope sai u , o himself, deal in numbers, even when the numbers not come. The more moderate estimate is more conscia, tious, critical, and probable. But whether ninety thou n 0 persons or thirty thousand attended or hung about t rt ° . outskirts of the meeting is a matter of very small ila ° ance. Great masses have an attractive power, 01 0 individual atoms gravitate to them. Thousands power, doubtless summoned by curiosity to the Botanic Gar de m They went less to uphold Protestantism than to se e e show, just as hundreds will go to Epsom, not to see 7 . race, but to see the crowds assembled to see the race. Oc; Johnston, who was the hero of the occasion, has declared' a the House of Commons, that Protestantism in Relit, will not receive any serious injury from the Irish Ch Bill; and that though he dislikes Mr. Gladstone's 13° 1 ; 8 he much prefers it ro Mr. Disraeli's. The real ie:J i which Parliament and the country have clot he is, Shall we level up or level down? and if . :;, 8 Belfast meeting could have been polled, t ue , d can be little doubt that it would have endorsed the vi e "., of its chairman. The orators at Belfast put their true t the House of Lords. Those who put their trust in prip_ d °P. are not more foolish. The House of Lords does not OP; Mr. John Th omson ' s con t emp t f or " Gl a d s tone's t h jority." It is not strong enough to keep the Irish en Claul—b afloat; though the Irish Church might be strong t to keep the House of Lords under water. Knowing that august assembly is little likely to venture out oftlx`i depth. English and foreign politics have always ao and reacted upon each other ; and the storm Walla which are signalled to us from France are good reasons not beginning the policy of resistance at home. • -- 11 It is said that Mr. Justice Mellish has strong re commended that no further proceedings should be ti° to have the Sauriu case re-heard. I RI SH NATIONALISTS AND THE FENIAN rl 2 l'.
