LONDON, FRIDAY, JU.VE 2, 1863. llerr VON BISMARK has been busy again, and expressed his opinions concerning Schleswig Ilol stein pretty strongly in the Chamber of Deputies. He actually had the assurance to state in the course of his observations that the conditions which the Government insisted on were moderate. There is a great diversity of opinion concerning the meaning of words and phrases, but it must appear a strange distortion of facts to apply the term moderate to any of the tactics of the Berlin Cabinet. Herr VON BISMARK is very ingenious in his plausible version of the matter, but it may plainly be asked how it was that we never heard anything of the claims of Prussia to the Duchies last year when the subject was pretty neaxly exhausted. The cry was first for the inde pendence of the Duchies, and afterwards fur the rights of the Duke of AtGUSTENBERG to their pos session. All at once when . the general public be lieved the settlement of the vexed question was at hand up starts a new and dangerous rival on the fears of Prussia, and the Duke's ally turns into an enemy of a serious character. Herr VON BISMARK stated the other day that " as long as no pretender can show what in our opinion would be a better title to the Duchies than our own, I do not see who should contest our possession." Can anything be more plain-spoken than this, or more calculated to show the determination of Prussia to keep to her fixed resolve, in spite of all that may be said or done in opposition to it. This was so thoroughly sifted, and one would have thought the last discourse of the Prussian Minister is more de cided in its tone than any that he has yet uttered on the subject, and we may now look out therefore for something like a real struggle for supremacy taking place before long. It appears to be the settledpur pose of the Prussian Cabinet to gain possession of their long-coveted prize, and they may think them selves very fortunate if, in so doing, they do not grasp the shadow and lose the substance. The language of llerr Von BISmARK is couched in cautious terms ; but still his meaning peeps out plainly enough, and he who runs may read its signi ficance. Ile says that the Sovereigns of Austria and Prussia have the Dukedom of Schleswig-Holstein and Lauenburg vested in them, and thence goes on to state that they intend to convoke the Estates, and will neither constrain that body, nor allow themselves to be constrained by it. This means that the Estate will meet to keep up appearances, but that in reality no heed will be paid to its de sires whether expressed or understood. This is shown in an unmistakeable; manner by the concluding sentences of Herr Von BIS3IARK'S address. He says that if no understanding be arrived at, " no one-sided proceeding will be able to make us quit the Duchies." No one who has studied the circumstances of the case could have ar rived at any other conclusion, but it is a new phase of the affair to hear the intentions so plainly announced. Herr Von BISMARCK concludes by advising the Chamber of Deputies to do their part towards the solution of the matter, and says, " If you doubt our right, make your vote of the supplies dependent upon the condition of our acquiring Kiel, and say, No Kiel, no m oney. , e It remains to be seen how successful thia last dodge of the wily statesman may prove ; but in awaiting the result of it, we may presume that before long the world will witness a new and striking development of the Schleswig- Holstein question, which has fulfilled the old notion of se tting all Europe by the ears, and has also created great scandal to those who respect the rights of nations and honour the claims of justice. A very important social reform is just now being attompted, which it is only wonderful has been so long neglected. It does not affect the moral or mental welfare of neglected classes, but the actual physical health and comfort of the upper ranks of the community as well. Yet, notwithstanding the fact of its universal benefit, the scheme just set on foot for providing hospital carriages, has not as yet received the amount of public support which might reasonably have been expected. Any Dian for alleviat ing especial forms of surienn . g, fog; opening new most excellent in intention and practical in its results, is too much of a preventive scheme to enlist much sympathy. But it commends itself very forcibly to the reason of the prudent and to the fears of the selfish, as well as to the kindness of the bene volent. The spread of infectious diseases is always a matter of regret, and in a populous city it is an evil difficult to deal with. Still the custom of conveying sick persons to fever hospitals in the common conveyances of the metropolitan thorough fares is so preposterous that it appears almost in credible that it should have been so long tolerated. There are so very many cases where lodgers, ser vants, &c., are taken ill, and are removed to the hospital, cabs being the only available means of conveyance. The officials are earnest in advising the heads of workhouses, and other large establishments, at once to remove any contagious sickness from their midst to the proper institution, and cabs again would be in requisition. The cab, in any of these cases, takes the sufferer from fel , er, small-pox, or other contagious malady, to the proper hospital, and then goes on plying in the streets as usual. In fact, the cab driver may be hailed by a fare on his return jour ney, and would probably take up the unconscious victim without scruple. Of course the disease is not caught by the passenger in all such cases, or we should hear still more of the spread of fever in the metropolis, but every one must admit that a very serious risk is run. The caution with which the middle classes guard against infection is carried sometimes to a ridiculous ex treme, yet the most nervous and fidgetty person may avoid a hundred possible risks to step into a cab which has just carried a deadly fever. Yet, while all who knew the danger have long deplored it, there was no means of cure. Fever-stricken sufferers could not possibly walk two or three miles to the hospital, while to keep them in the houses where they were living was often impossible. The public has no excuse for shutting its eyes to the facts so clearly put before it, for long since the managers of the Fever Hospital openly stated that the greater proportion of their patients came in common street cabs. Very recently a case was cited in which a physician was hurriedly summoned to the bedside of a patient dying of smallpox. He took a cab, for haste, but on arriving found that all was over. The cabman, struck by seeing the closed house, asked the reason, and then told the doctor that two or three weeks before he had taken a lady to that house, just after driving a patient to the Smallpox Hospital. This lady, as might be supposed, was the victim ; and, dobtless, there are many such cases every week, only they do not happen to become known. It is, therefore, a matter of very great and general im portance that proper conveyances, exclusively for the use of hospital patients, should be provided. A very simple and efficacious method is proposed, by which the cabs, when summoned, can go to any part and fetch the invalid, thus avoiding all danger. We can hardly suppose that so sensible and prac tical a scheme will be suffered to fail for want of funds. It is only to be wondered that, in these days of sanitary reform, so great and general an evil should have been left SO long without remedy. Mr. GLADSTONE has not been very successful in his attempts to gain the favour of the good people of Chester. He is placed in the unfortunate posi tion of an halting between two opinions, and doubtless many electors will think that, if they want moderate views, they might as well return Mr. RAIKES, while their notions of progress will be better represented by Mr. FENTON. At any rate, the candidute made a fair speech in its way, and more straightforward, than might have been ex. pected from one who is peculiarly circumstanced. It is certainly a very unfortunate circumstance, and one that speaks very ill for their patriotism, that there is such a preponderance of candidates who contest the seats at election times in the liberal cause (it cannot be said interes), because a house divided against itself is in a very insecure and infelicitous position The Chan cellor of the Exchequer very kindly gives all the blame of the matter to Mr. FENTON, and declares that the responsibility rests with him ; but that, of course, is a matter of opinion. The right hon. gentleman went too far in his zeal, however, and caused a great confusion. All is fair in election time, it is true, but it may fairly be questioned if it would not have been better to have proceeded with more caution, and not to have given rise to angry feelings and altercations. Mr. GLADSTONE has not been more fortunate than Lord AMBERLEY in his attempts to slip quietly into the favour of a large constituency, and he is not more liberal, in a com prehensive view of the matter, than that noble lord. He is against the ballot, which he thinks a failure in America. This enunciation of his senti ments proved rather a failure for there was a cry of " Three cheers for the ballot." The concluding passage of Mr. GLADSTONE'S speech was interrupted by some determined advocate of Mr FENTON'S, who set up his claims at every imagin able opportunity, and completely marred the effect of the moral which the speaker sought to convey. When they were told that they must return a man who was a Liberal candidate if they wanted remis sion of taxes and many substantial benefits, there was at every pause the cry of " FENTON will do that." This shows the folly of candidates profes sing the same policy contesting the same place. This discrepancy between practice and profession is rarely if ever witnessed among Conservatives, and their opponents may well take a leaf out of their book, and look less to individual interest and more to the triumph of the party and the success of the cause Chester will no doubt present an animated scene at the time of election ; but it cannot be a matter of wonder if Mr. RAMS reaps the benefit of the strife and discord that his rivals are sowing with no nig gardly hand among the constituency. If more unity were displayed at elections it would be better for the cause of fair play ; and, indeed, the electors are not likely to come to a clear understanding when such contrary opinions are given by those on same side. The Metropolitan Sewage and Essex Reclamation Bill has finally passed the Upper House. The last Parliamentary appearance was attended with some little interest from the fact of its being the first occasion on which the Heir Apparent recorded his vote as a Peer. His Royal Highness has several times honoured the debates of the Lords with his presence, but has never previously taken an active part. Last night, however, he recorded his name in the division list, when Lord DEN3IAN'S amend ment was pressed to a division, and, as was natu rally to be expected from the interest and intelli gence which the Prince has shown with regard to the Main Drainage system, he joined with the ma jority against Lord DENMAN'S very slender train of followers. The noble lord, on the motion for the third reading, moved its in definite postponement, and argued that a bill of this nature ought not to be in the hands of a private company. It was certainly a late stage of the pro ceedings to raise an objection of this kind, but Lord RENUAIT went still further, and on the autl4ity of PARIS, JUNE 1. The following is the return of the Bank of France for the week ending to-day, together with the cor responding figures of the previous account : hospitals or asylums, for adding wings or paying off F ,anon LIEBIG denounced the whole scheme as d e bts generally, meets with a ready response from the visionary and hazardous. But the noble lord ap charitable ; but the present scheme, though really► peared to forget that it is impossible for the wisest philosopher or for the most prudent statesman to give a conclusive opinion without experimental evi dence, and that until the test of practice has been applied to the scheme, no one can definitively pro nounce on its success or failure. A full inquiry has been made by committees of both Houses, and although there was a great deal of conflicting evi dence laid before them, the conclusion at whichthey arrived was favourable to the scheme. As for he pathetic appeal in behalf of the widows and orphans who are to lose their little all by the trans action. They are themselves responsible if they choose to invest their money in an experimental scheme. The reclamation, if fairly carried out, will no doubt be a great boon to Essex, and there seems to be no reasonable ground why the experiment should not be made. The sense of the Upper House was conclusively against any opposition to it, since a majority of forty-five pronounced against Lord DENMAN'S amendment. The Pince of WALES as we have said recorded his first vote in its favour, thus giving it not only the sanction of his name, but the approval of one who has really examined into the practical working of the subject.

ROULAND. The Bank of France has reduced its rate of dis count from 3i to 3 per cent. Victims of the Derby Day. In addition to the accidents reported yesterday a number of others occurred on the return home from the Downs. The following were the more serious :—A young man who had fallen out of a van was brought late in the evening to Guy's Hospital in a dying condition, and died shortly after his admission. The persons in the van apparently did not notice the occurrence, for they drove on unconcernedly, and were soon lost sight of. Nothing is known of the name or address of deceased, or where his friends are to be found. At 2 o'clock yesterday morning a labouring man named John Huddle was found lying insensible in the roadway outside the Balham Station. It was ascertained that he had been run over and seriously injured. The injuries being chiefly on his head he was unable to make any state ment, and his life is despaired of. At eight o'clock on Wednesday night two light carts came violently into collision in the Kennington-road. William Vitoll, the driver of one of them, was flung out on the pavement, and received severe contusions, his left arm being broken at the elbow. He was taken to St. Thomas's Hospital. An hour later a boy named Arthur Botch, residing in the Old Kent-road, was passing near a costermonger's truck when a cart came against it, upsetting it upon him, and breaking his leg. He was conveyed to St. Thomas's Hospital. A gentleman while returning outside an omnibus from Epsom at 10 o'clock on Wednesday night was struck by a champagne bottle, thrown by the occupants of a carriage, drawn by four grey horses. Between Tooting and Ewell, a boy named Smith, em ployed iu Leadenhall-market, was standing on the footpath, when he was struck by the shaft of a Hansom cab going at a rapid rate, and knocked under the wheel, which passed over him and broko his leg. He was removed by the police, but the cab continued its course. At Tooting, also, a party of ladies and gentlemen, while seated on chairs outside the iron gates of a large mansion, were suddenly charged upon by a light waggonette. How they escaped with their lives is a miracle, for two of the chairs on which they sat were smashed up. Further mis chief was averted by the vehicle having its near wheel wrenched off by a large and heavy carriage. On the Downs various accidents happened. A man named William Buckley, while endeavouring to get out of the way of a carriage that was being driven too rapidly along, was thrown to the ground and his ankle broken. He was sent by rail to Guy's Hospital, where he now lies. On Wednesday afternoon a girl named Jane Gibson, aged four years, was knocked down while crossing the Newing ton-road by a brewer's dray and run over. She was taken to St. Thomas's Hospital, where life was pronounced to be extinct. TfIE ENGLISH CIIANNEL.—The quickest passage on record from the Channel Islands to Southampton was made on Wednesday by the South-Western Company's paddlewheel steamship Normandy, commanded by Capt. H. B. Harvey, when this noble vessel crossed from Guernsey to the Needles in five hours and a half. The details o f thi s rapid run, as furnished by Capt. Harvey, are as follows : The Normandy left Jersey, with her Majesty's mails, and a full complement of passengers and cargo, at 7 a.m., Green wich time, arrived at Guernsey at 9.5, exchanged mails, pas sengers, and baggage, and left again at 9.25 for Southampton, passed the Caskets at 10.35, hove the log, and found the ship's speed to be 14.75 knots, or nearly 17 miles an hour, which speed she maintained throughout the run, engines making 34 revolutions per minute, and the pressure of steam 231 b ; passed the Needles at 2.55 p.m., telegraphed at Hurst Castle at 3.5, and arrived in the Southampton docks at 4.35, being only 9 hours 35 minutes from Jersey, including stoppages. The passengers by the Normandy left Southampton by the 2.10 p.m. train, due in London at 7.43, being thus enabled to reach the metropolis in less than 13 hours from Jersey, and a little over 10 hours from Guernsey. STRANGE, IF TRUE.—It was currently rumoured in Darlington on Friday (says the Darlington Times) that a man, named Ralph Morrell, well-known among the lowest of the population of Darlington, had, while labour ing under a fit of insanity, made admissions connecting him criminally with the sudden disappearance of a gentleman named Richardson about five years ago. Mr. Richardson was on a visit to Darlington Fair about that period, and was seen late at night in the Mill Entry, near the river, but was not seen alive afterwards. At that time sensation was created by the mysterious circumstance, it being pretty generally believed that foul play of some kind had been used, and that the property the gentleman was thought to have in his possession at the time had proved too strong a temptation for some unscrupulous ruffians. Morrell, after being taken to the Darlington Workhouse, has been re moved thence to the lunatic asylum at Sedgefield, where he at present remains. It is expected he will recover in a :ew days, and then it will be seen 'whether the affair will assume a more serious aspect than it now presents. It is generally believed at the Court of Vienna that the Emperor Maximilian will shortly abdicate and L - eturn to Austria, and that he will be restored by Francis Joseph to the rights which he was obliged to renounce on accepting the Diezioaxt throne. A sixth edition of this powerful narrative, Miss Braddon's " Story of an Outcast," testifies anew to her and its popularity. Allowing to the writer of the romance—as the reader ought to allow every romancist—carte blanche at starting, the plot is wonderful (now) in its symmetrical completeness. There is an especial significance, we would remark, in that parenthetical (now)—the anomalies of the tale, as it originally stood, having been at length very dexterously and carefully eliminated. Seldom has revision, we take it, been more judicious. The magic lens or crystal, so to speak, in v,hich we here watch the moving incidents of this career of an Outcast, if still by no means what might be called " one er.tire and perfect chrysolite," is at the least no longer, as it was once, conspicuously flawed. It will be sufficient if we here speak of only two of these wise corrective touches, by means of which the hand of our authoress has removed, as it were, in stantaneously, flaws until now so manifestly visible as such at the merest superficial glance, that they amounted some among them to absolutely ludicrous disfigurements. Mr. Balderly, for example, no longer (now) welcomes the soi disant Henry Dunbar to England, but to the Bank—where the two meet at last in that old city banking-house—months after their first meeting at Southampton ! Again, there is no longer any refer ence at all, as this work stands (now) to the dis covery, upon the skeleton finger of the murdered man, on his exhumation, of a ring, that had been mysteriously overlooked altogether at the time of his interment ! The story yet retains, as its title, a decided misnomer—Henry Dunbar being not Henry Dunbar at all, but Joseph Wilmot —the hero of the tale being, in other words, not the banker, but the returned convict. This, however, we presume, was a thing inevitable. Unless the secret of the whole narrative was to be blurted out at once upon the title-page—the book must, perforce, have received, as it has received for its title, this flagrant misno mer. The title, and the sub-title, in effect being distinctly at variance—for the outcast, whose story is here related, is in no way identical with the Henry Dunbar he affects to be. Among all Miss Brad don's fictions, this one about Henry Dunbar, the true and the false, the murdered and the murderer, we are still fain to regard, as all things considered, the most daring in its construction. Recreations of Christopher North. Blackwood and Son. Two Vols In continuation of the popular reissue of the masculine writings of Professor Wilson, the Messrs. Blackwood have supplemented their People's Edition of the immortal Noctes with this companion reprint of the Recreations. Whereas the former work extended to the length of four goodly volumes, however, the later (and, in consequence, lesser) work now under con sideration extends to the length of merely half those dimensions. Prefixed to the first of these two volumes by way of frontispiece is an engraved portraiture of Professor John Wilson, or, more strictly speaking, of Master Christopher North himself in propria persona, and, more than that, in dishabille ! Such a noble presence of a man as it it—this engraving from Thomas Duncan's famous painting of the Great Athlete (one worthy of the man both intellectually and physically) the original of which picture, in the possession of John Black wood, Esquire, now head and chief of the great publishing house of the Messrs. William Blaskwood and Sons, of London and Edinburgh. Buckled belt and buckled shoon—unbuttoned shirt, coat and waist coat—uncovered tawny shock of hair—a leonine face, beard mane, we had almost said—heather around him —the very fowling-piece in his right hand grasp—the very touch of the left hand carelessly in the pocket of his velvet shooting-jacket —not one minute detail of the picture, precisely as it is, could very well be spared from it—so perfectly does it realise this born King among his fellows, when he must have looked at his very best ! " When his foot was on his native heath, and his name was"— CHRISTOPHER NORTH ! The genius of the great Professor, though delightfully apparent in every shaper of the " Re creations," cannot, of course, be recognised there as in his earlier and wilder manifestation, in all its swing and sweep, and full, exhilirating, irresistible abandonment, as in the renowned Noctes Anibro sianx. Nevertheless, how wonderful the very grace and vigour of the old man eloquent, as those qualities are manifested here throughout the two elegant volumes of these delightful Recreations! But for the Noctes that had gone before them, the Recreations would for those very qualities of easy grace and abounding vigour have been held, and held quite reasonably, as just simply matchless. Lights and Shadows of Scottish Life, &c. One vo By Professor Wilson. Blackwood and Sons. Another, and, if possible, still goodlier volume, bringing this People's Edition of John Wilson's Works to a glorious conclusion, embraces within it not only the whole of the " Lights and Shadows of Scottish Life," but with those singularly varied sketches of National Character—from the same master-hand, the story of " The F ores t ers " an d the record of " The Trials of Margaret Lindsay." Apart from their own intrinsic beauty and excel lence, as in a manner if not precisely " unconsi dered trifles" as, at any rate, mere carelessly pen cilled studies from real life around him, jotted down at odd moments, just as the whim seized him by the artist's hand. The Lights and Shadows have an espe cially charm for us always among the more highly elaborated writings of Professor Wilson by reason of their having been selected by him from among his works as an offering of love and honour, of affection and esteem for the great Sir Walter. Ap propriately selecting " The Lights and Shadows" as such, it seems to us, as an offering thus to Sir Wal ter Scott, if only because more than any of our author's works the most spontaneous, the most tho roughly national, and the most strictly unpre meditated. Stocqueler's Familiar History of British India. One Vol. Pp. 257. Darton and Hodge. The simple fact of the present issue of this little volume being the tenth thousand (as announced upon the title page), is an evidence of its success as an in genious compilation. Mr. Stocqueler's unpretending narrative of the use, development, and consolidation of British Power in India has, in fact, more than any other work than could be named, popularised a knowledge of the events leading to the establishment of that wonderful Asiatic Empire of ours in Hindos tan—has scattered that knowledge broadcast among great masses of unlettered, or, at any rate, of only partially lettered Englishmen. The form in which the work now appears can hardly fail to ensure its still wider acceptance. Its careful revision, more over, will go far towards confirming and consolidat ing whatever reputation the little book has enjoyed hitherto. Beyond which, it ought to be added, in justice to the editorial hand to which the labour of revision has thus been judiciously intrusted, that the record of Indian History, as sketched by Mr. Stocqueler has been continued by Mr. Sid dons—so that their joint annals now embrace within them a true, if not a full, account of the Revolt of the Sepoys, and the re-establishment of our then fearfully jeopardised power throughout the penin sula.

WESTMINSTER. Last evening a meeting to promote the election of Mr. John Stuart Mill was held in St. James's hall, Dr. Lankester, F.R.S., coroner for Central Middlesex, in the chair ; notwithstanding the incle ment state of the weather there was so full an attendance that many went away, unable to obtain admittance. The CHAIRMAN, in introducing the subject of the meeting, said he wished to take no part generally in politics, but he felt that when such a man as John Stuart Mill was willing to sit in Parliament it was the duty of all to endeavour to place him in a posi tion in which his great talents could be employed for the benefit of his country. Some said that Mr. Mill should come among them, but then it must be remembered that Mr. Mill was a man of the closet and not of the platform, and he was a man who would be listened to with• respect in the House of Commons, for he was not of yesterday. He wrote before the Reform Bill passed, and he wrote in favour of it. He wrote befo,re the Corn Laws were repealed, and he wrote in favour of that repeal ; and if it were asked who had been convinced by this writer the name of Richard Cobden (cheers) would be a sufficient answer. Of Mr. Mill's peculiar - opi nions much could be said, and if they pointed out that Mr. Mill advocated woman's right to the suffrage, inquiry would show that Mr. Mill advo cated the right of the intellect of both sexes being represented (cheers), and maintained that the woman who had intelligence should have the posi tion of elector. But let it not be supposed that any House of Commons of the present day would be so far advanced as to give woman the suffrage. It was to be wished that such a thing could be, for it was to be remembered that there was no Salic law in England, and if a woman was not excluded from the throne she should not be excluded from other rights, and if men could cry " Long live the Queen," they should not dishonour the sex of their sovereign by opposing John Stuart Mill because he said that he would give woman the suffrage. The candidate whose name was now before them was one who was recognised as a great thinker in every country, and among all men, and it was a note worthy fact that men of all shades of opinion had endorsed the view that John Stuart Mill should sit in Parliament. That great writer and thinker would not be greater hououred by having the seat than would Westminster in being represented by him, and no greater disgrace could come to West minster than that the constituencfshould reject him. (Cheers.) Mr. IVIALLEsoN was then called upon to propose the first resolution, and in his opening observations lie referred to the address just issued by Sir John Shelley, saying that Sir John had acted very wisely in withdrawing, and stated that Sir John's friends had, he 4ad heard, held a meeting that very night, at which it had been unanimously agreed to sup port Mr. Mill. (Cheers.) The opinion throughout the country was that if Mr. Mill should be elected by Westminster, such an event would elevate the whole of the general election, and do much to wipe away the stain cast upon large constituencies of electing men who had more money than wits. (Cheers.) The resolutio n h e p ro p ose d was — . . _ _ "That it is due to the position and‘repUtation . of the borough of Westminster that it should berepresented'by men who have manifested a publicly recognized capacity to instruct and guide opinions on political questions, and that. Mr. John Stuart Mill, who, as a thinker on political and economical questions, has acquired a high reputation in Europe and America, is pre-eminently qualified to serve iu the House of Commons as a representative for this borough." Professor MASSON, who was received with loud cheers, seconded the resolution. He was forced to repeat, he said, that Mr. Mill's acknowledged claims to the representation of Westminster were that he was a great thinker, and he was one of the foremost men in this country in all matters relating to politics and thought upon politics. The speaker dwelt upon the business training which Mr. Mill received in the India House, and said that the candidate was often called a theorist, but put him by the side of many of those so-called practical men and he would beat them in mere practicability. The Hon. L. STANLEY supported the resolution, and said there were two elections which would ex cite universal attention—the one was the election of John Stuart Mill for Westminster, and the other was the election of Mr. Gladstone for Oxford, and these constituencies would honour themselves by returning these two great men. (Cheers.) Mr. Serjeant PARRY, who was warmly received, poke in support of the resolution. He said he was not an elector . of Westminster, but this was a na tional and not a mere local question. He had been asked " Who's Mr. Mill," and he had ventured a prophecy that at the next election he would he member for Westminster. (Cheers.) In 1818 Westminster did itself the honour of electing a man who did his country the greatest service in the house —Sir Samuel Romilly (cheers), and that election had a great inthience upon the then Parliament, and Mr. Mill must be elected to Parliament to carry out further and further the great principles which Sir Samuel Romilly so well championed. (Cheers.) Mr. Mill had not rendered any great services in Parliament for one reason, that he had never been there (a laugh) ; but he had rendered great services to his country and to the world at large out of Parliament, for no one man had more thoroughly educated men in politics than he had. If Mr. Mill had any opponent, let that opponent read the little tract on " Representative Govern ment," and he would vote for the writer. Mr. Mill was not a " cut and dry" candidate, who would give up his opinions to any constituency, and the manli ness with which he said he was not a believer in the necessity for the ballot entitled him to their warmest support. (Cheers.) With respect to giving the suffrage to the ladies—(a laugh)—if any man but Mr. Mill had put forward that opidion he would have been ridiculed and hooted by the press ; but the press had not dared to do so with him. Logically there was no answer to the assertion that a woman had a right to the vote ; but, then, the English were so practical. Women were made to suffer the penal ties of the law, and women had been tried for trea son in his day. One of the greatest monarchs who ever ruled over England was a woman, and one of the gentlest ruled over England still. (Cheers.) Women voted in the local elections, for he had seen many an old woman carried off in a cab to exercise her right—(laughter)—women were liable even now, at common law, to serve as constables, and it was well known that they frequently served as overseers. (Laughter and cheers.) The learned gentleman drew attention to the principles advocated by Mr. Mill, and said that that gentleman's election would be a great triumph forlarge constituencies, and more especially for the one which returned him. Mr. I. W. PROBYN also addressed the meeting, and the motion was carried with acclamation. A vote of thanks to Dr. Lankester for presiding terminated the proceedings. SURREY. Mr. Charles Buxton, of Fox Warren, Surrey,who now sits for Maidstone, has offered himself as a Liberal candidate for the representation of the eastern division of this county, in the room of Mr. Alcock, who, it is stated, will not stand, on the ground of ill-health. Mr. Buxton, in his address to the electors, observes— " If chosen by you as your representative I shall gilt° Lord Palmerston's Government a cordial though indepen dent support. Since Lord Palmerston became Premier taxation has been greatly reduced. England never was so prosperous. Her name never stood so high. I advocate the claims of the working class to a fair but not over whelming share of political power. Any well-digested and comprehensive scheme of Reform will have my hearty support. I regard church rates as unjust to Dissenters and mischievous to the Church. I disapprove all oaths except those required in courts of justice. Those enforced specially on Roman Catholics seem to me at once insulting and futile. Taking a deep interest in the spread of educa tion, I would relax those restrictions which keep several thousands of poor schools from receiving Government grants. lam against imposing rates for purposes of edu cation. lam strongly in favour of the conscience clause.' The plans recently suggested for improving the comfort and character of our soldiers deserve hearty support. I look on flogging in the army and navy as a pernicious as well as a barbarous punishment. lam persuaded that our naval and military forces might be greatly reduced without the smallest danger. It seems to me sheer folly to lavish vast sums at the present moment upon fortifications. I trust the country will cherish the principle that she ought to observe absolute neutrality as to the disputes of other na tions. Such neutrality, if wisely used, would only enhance our influence as the advocates of peace, justice, and humanity. Some questions of great importance are now pending with regard to suppression of the Cuban slave trade and the civilisation of Western Africa. In such cases I take an hereditary and intense interest. At home many abuses still need to be cleared away. The administration of bank ruptcy ought to be transferred, as in Scotland, from the lawyers to the creditors themselves. Law reform still lags as far behind. In Ireland the two questions of the tenure of land and the position of the Established Church press for settlement." Mr. C. Buxton is the third son of the late Sir T. Fowell Buxton, of Bellfield, Dorset, and Colne house, Norfolk. Mr. Buxton is a partner in the firm of Truman, Hanbury, and Co., brewers, 'and lieut.-colonel of the Ist Battalion Tower Hamlets Rifle Volunteers, and also a magistrate for Surrey and Norfolk. He sat for Newport from April, 1857, till May, 1859, when he was elected for Maidstone. A OU ICM DlE r y 01111 Tat HER lILIAJESTY. BALMORAL, May 30.

WAKEFIELD. Sir John Hay, the sitting member, who has been in the town for nearly a fortnight, has issued the following address:— "Attention to your business in Parliament obliges me again to leave the town. But in the short time which I have been able to devote to the duty of calling on my friends I have had the most. satisfactory assurance of con tinued support. I have been happy to find a largo number of those gentlemen whose names have recently been added to the electors strongly imbued with those con stitutional principles which are the safeguard of the altar and the throne. And though my limited time has not permitted me to call on all those old and tried supporters who returned me " so tr:umphantly in 1862, yet I have re ceived the most -cordial assurances that they continuo to desire me to represent them in Parliament. In the course of my canvass I have found a small section of the Liberal party zealously endeavouring to obtain signatures to a requisition to a candidate of their choice ; but I have in variably been received by these gentlemen with cour tesy, and I have been assured by many, even of my for mer opponents, that they would regret the prospect of a contest which might embroil the peace of the town, but could hardly alter the representation of the borough, I shall take the earliest opportunity of returning to con tinue my visits to my friends and supporters. I trust our cause to their vigilance in my absence, and I feel cer tain that their determined efforts will issue their triumph and my election." Shocking Fate of a Servant Girl near Stourbridge. --- - On Tuesday evening the body of a servant girl was found in the canal at Wollaston Bridge, near Stourbridge, under circumstances which render it strongly presumable that she fell - the victim of a murderer. The deceased's name was Mary Dorrell, and she was 22 years of age. She had been a servant at places in the neighbourhood, where she wall looked upon as a quiet and inoffensive girl, and bore an excellent character, one of her masters saying of her that if ever there was an honest and good-hearted girl she was one. At the time of the sad occurrence by which she lost her life she was in service at Mr. Henry Hicklin's at Wollaston. It appears that on Saturday night she asked permission to go into Stourbridge for an hour, and she accordingly started off at about 8 o'clock. She never returned. Her absence on the Saturday night, and subsequently, led to Mr. Hicklin's writing to her parents on Monday last to ask if she had returned home. The girl's friends live at the Wren's Nest, near Dudley, but they returned no answer to the" inquiry contained in this letter. About six o'clock on Tuesday evening a boat, belonging to the Stourbridge Iron works, was passing the Wollaston-bridge, in charge of two men named Meese and Smith, when the motion of the water caused a dead body to rise to the surface. The boatmen saw the clothes in the water, and got the body out on the towing path. It was that of the poor girl Dorrell. She was con veyed to Mr. Sutton's, the Fish Inn, and the news spread ing about caused great excitement in the neighbourhood. In the pocket of her dress was a pair of silk gloves, which she had purchased on Saturday night at Stourbridge, and doubtless intended to wear on the Sunday. This fact alone would tend to show she could not have any disposition to I commit suicide ; but, in addition to this, a severe bruise on the right eye suggested that she had been wilfully pushed into the canal. On the removal of her clothing another bruise, apparently from a kick, was found on her hip, and her arms were scarred, though the latter marks might be, and probably were, caused by the passing of a boat. It appears to be the general impression that the girl has been murdered. It is incredible that she could have got into the canal on a summer's night accidentally, and no one entertains the notion that she threw herself in. As far as yet ascertained, no one was seen with the deceased on Saturday night, and the occurrence is shrouded in mys tery. The police are making inquiries, and perhaps some evidence will be forthcoming at the inquest which will, it is expected, be held to-day (Thursday), tending to throw a light on the matter. The police wrote to the girl's father on Tuesday evening, stating the finding of the body, but up to between five and six yesterday evening none of her friends had been to the place.where the body lies.--Bir mingham Pod.

THE NEW OPERA COMPANY.—Yesterday, at tht Sheriffs' Court, Red Lion-square, an action, brouglw in one of the inferior courts, was heard, in which £l5 was sought to be recovered for two "calls ," and 6s. ld. for 10 " terest thereon. Mr. G. Francis, who appeared for the plain tiff, said the company had been formed for the product i°7l of operatic pieces, and Cove n t G ar d en Th ea t re had b een taken. The defendant, Mr. Tucker, was manager a bank, and held five shares on which £5 had been paid. l' s°) calls for £1 and £2 had been made, which he failed to PO and the directors were compelled to sue him. The secret of the company, Mr. Cawood, proved that the defendant, who lived at Peterborough-place, Bayswater, had take", five shares. Mr. Tripp, for the defendant, submitted th in there was no case to go to the jury, but the Cow% b e a otherwise ; and he then contended that the evidence WAR not sufficient. Mr. Under-Sheriff Burchell thought there was abundance of evidence, and the jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed. The Court, on the question of cos ta ' reserved the decision as to a certificate.
