Om. tiip utt THE SEIB, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING„JULY 10, 1865 LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 10, 1865. The week just opened will be one of the most ex citing in the political year, and before its close a large proportion of the members will have been duly elected. At the present moment therefore every one is on the qui vine, clubs and coteries are busy dis cussing the chances of rival candidates, and the general standing of the party which they represent. Every little nook and byeway of this great metro polis bears some trace of the grand crisis now arrived at, and even those quite suburban retreats whose very existence is scarcely remembered by M.P.'s on other occasions are now drawn into the vortex—they become the scene of animated addresses and enthu siastic meetings, and suddenly rise into political im portance. In every part of the country the same scene is going forward, although the chief interest just now centres upon the metropolitan boroughs, almost every one being the subject of av active contest. The independent politician standing aside from the immediate controversy, and looking on at the election as a whole, watches with interest the course which the various constituencies will take rather with regard to its ultimate effect upon the goverh ment of the country than with respect to the indivi dual triumph of any particular member. Viewed in this aspect the election becomes more than a mere temporary excitement, every contest becomes signi ficant, and every member must be looked upon rather as an addition to the strength of his party than as a representative of any particular locality. There can be no doubt that the interest usually felt iri the issue of a general election is this year consi derably heightened by the present condition of the Parliamentary parties. The so-called Liberals, or rather Ministerialists, cannot help avowing that they are fighting this campaign under some disad vantages. The last general election found them With the war cry of Reform, which they raised loud enough to drown all other sounds. It was the great question of the hour, and the Libe rals were undoubtedly the fit and right persons to deal with it. Since 1832 the completion of the great work was expected from the Whigs by the innocent and unsuspecting public, who did not per ceive that the tide of innovation and improvement had just stopped short of the Whigs themselves. A reluctant consent was extorted from the Tories, and their enforced assent to the march of pro gress was favoured by the fact of having one of the early reformers as their political head, but it was naturally thought that men with whom the exten sion of the franchise, the ballot, and triennial Par liaments were established articles of their political code would be the proper and efficient persons to carry out a genuine if cautious reform. So that in 1859 the cry of Reform was a potent auxiliary. The Conservatives had, it is true, redeemed their pledges by the introduction of a Reform Bill, but that very fact was against them, since, although capable of improvement, it fell short of the popular wishes and expectations. But the old adage which defines the comparative value of birds in immediate and prospective possession, was very aptly, if very un pleagantly,illustrated in the conduct of our advanced Liberals. The Reform Bill, once the party were cost iblished in office, melted away into thin air, and those constituencies who were really in earnest about the measure were left lamenting their own credulity and the bag faith and disingenuousness of the Whigs ! Therefore, not only do the members of the once triumphant party present themselves at the hustings without the advantages of their former cry, but they find it used against them. The Conser vatives, grown bolder, do not hesitate to support the extension of the franchise, and especially the adop tion of the lodger clause, if they shrink from its reduction, but the Liberals have to explain what they have done with their opportunity: If they claimed the credit of having carried useful measures of internal legislation, they admit that they could have carried a Reform Bill had they liked ; if, on the other hand, they try to throw the blame on their opponenti, they must accord them the benefit of having assisted to pass those measures of -which they boast. The truth is, that had th .e Whigs chosen to bring in a fair and reasonable measure the Conservatives, as a body, would 'riot have dared to oppose it after their own pledges to the country, which we must in fairness acknowledge they had shown a disposition to keep. The will, not the power, was wanting on the Liberal side of the House, as was clearly shown by the divisions on the ballot and on the motions of Mr. LOCKE KING and Mr. BAINES. It is not only that they are opposed to democracy, for the whole tone and tenour of English political life is opposed to that, but they shrink from Reform. They are anxious to retain not the safeguards but the abuses, and could the Whigs insure as long a tenure of political power and influence with universal suffrage and annual Parliaments, we have very little doubt that the three great houses would swell the ranks of the Chartists. The love of power and place has been as dangerous to the Whigs, and as detrimental to the best interests of the country as the obstinate prejudices of the Tories. Both sides have much to learn, but the Tories have of late learned their lesson the faster, and they are likely to reap the reward of their intellectual progress at this general election. Another cause which has helped to favour the so-called reactionary movement which is clearly per ceptible in the country—though in truth reaction at the present day is a simple impossibility—has been the American war. The tumult and con vulsions of which that beautiful and prosperous country has of late been the scene have served as a complete counterpoise to the enthusiastic encomiums of the Manchester party. In contemplating the result of a Republican form of Government many persons shrink from taking any step which would place political power among omielves in the hands of the masses, forgetting that the circumstances are not really similar. The same objection might have been raised in 1832 against putting any influence in the hands of the middle classes, but in fact so far from showing any desire to share their hardlyuac quired power with others, those classes are for the most part steady opponents of a fur ther reduction of the franchise. The object of every true Reformer should be to preserve a balance of political power by securing a fair re presentation of all classes, and so far from this being a revolutionary doctrine, it is the very fundamental principle of the British ConStitution. The repre sentation of the people, and of the middle classes, is provided for in the Commons as the representation of the aristocracy is in the Lords, and while the one is supplied with the command of the national purse, the natural right of the working bees of the hive, the other has the balancing power of refusing its assent to any measure of which it disapproves. We can hardly hope to excel the wisdom of our ancestors in this respect, even as all our regal reforms fail to supersede trial by jury. Practices which are based on sound reason and right principle can with stand criticism, though they may be susceptible of improvement in details. It is no sweeping change that is wanted, in fact a reformed Parliament might contain very much the same sort of members as we have hitherto had. The difference would be that men who have a right to have a voice in the go vernment of the country would' have a representative in Parliament ; that large classes, whose numbers are reckoned not by tens nor by hundreds, but by millions, would be able not to interfere with the rights of property, or to introduce republican in stitutions, but to vote for whichever candidate they considered would best represent their inte rests in the imperial Parliament. The governing classes would remain the same. Political parties would probably maintain the same theories, but we should have the advantage of knowing that, which ever side obtained a decisive majority, did actually represent the views and principles of the people. If all other safeguards were removed English conservatism and steadiness might safely be trusted to preserve the nation from the evils of democracy ; but, in fact, there ought to be no removal of safeguards, but only the substitution of truth for falsehood, of a genuine representation for a partial and interested one. It is idle to argue as some anti-reformers have argued, that any arbitrary division of £lO or £5O can protect us against anarchy. If we had no other protection we might have a republic to-morrow. In an able and interesting article in the current number of the Quarterly, to which we shall return at a future period, it is observed that the question now at issue is whether England shall be governed by property or numbers. " Those who prefer the first will vote for the Conservative candidate ; those who prefer the last will vote for the Liberal. There is no middle term between the two. It is the great controversy of modern society, the great issue upon which the hopes of freedom, and order, and civilisa tion depend." But the antagonism between numbers and intelligence is the very evil which true patriots deprecate. Indisputably it is the right of education and intelligence to rule, but let them rule with the aid and support of numbers, not in defiance of them. If it comes to a trial of strength between physical force and moral force, the first is likely to gain at least a temporary advantage which would be lamentable. Let our statesmen and politicians rather aim at governing by the willing aid of a people who feel they are fairly represented and wisely governed, until by gradual elevation and im provement of the lowest classes the interests of numbers and intelligence are no longer discordant. Time passes away so rapidly, and one engrossing pursuit succeeds another with such speed, that one is apt to forget the exact period which has elapsed since any event took place, and when recurrence is made to a date surprise is felt by many. It is now seventeen years since Lord STANLEY was first elected for King's Lynn—a circumstance of which he reminded the electors on Saturday, when he addressed them at some length. It must be con fessed that few among those who have sat in the House of Commons during this time have more faithfully fulfilled their pledges, or have consistently maintained their course than the noble lord. He has made no pretentious professions, and gone to no extremes, but has throughout followed the dic tates of common sense and acted according to his judgment, irrespective of the claims of party and uninfluenced by the schemes of the so-called re formers and regenerators. Lord STANLEY'S speeches are always listened to with respect, and he attracts more attention than many brilliant speakers, because he never addresses the House without a purpose, and is always very well informed on the subject of which he treats. His explanation on Saturday was very satisfactory to the electors, and certainly no one could complain that it was a niggardly state ment, or one that kept back any important decision or awkward statement. The noble lord truly said that our " foreign policy" was of more consequence than our domestic policy, for it was not possible for any Minister to go very far wrong in domestic matters nowadays, since public opinion governed in the long run. No doubt there is great truth in the statement that we should get into diffi culty and embarrassment if we took up the quarrels of all foreign nations, but the noble lord carries the non-intervention plan too far. What becomes of our rightful influence in the councils of nations if it is known before hand that whatever occurs we shall do nothing to interfere, and will not lend a helping hand to the weak, hcwever outraged or oppressed, nor stem the power of the strong, be they ever so unprincipled. Denmark, for instance, would now be in a very dif ferent position if this country had assumed a more decided attitude, and thus great wrong would have been prevented, while in the American war much that was degrading to warfare among Christian states, and contrary to the interests of humanity, would have been put a stop to had our Government only acted in a manner consistent with the dignity of this great country. Even now we may be called upon to witness a great wrong committed, which will for ever disgrace the memory of the great Republic of the West, and yet our Minister declared to the House that he would not enter a protest or endeavour to influence events. Lord STANLEY took a review of our relations with other countries, and came to the conclusion that at present there was no danger of our coming to any disagreement. The noble lord gave an ingenious description of the position in which despotic Sovereigns found themselves in these days of revolution. "It amounted," he said, "to something like this, each kept his crown on his head with one hand, and held on to his throne with the other, and he believed that if we did not meddle with them, we might be pretty sure that they would not meddle with us." If anywhere, as the noble lord said, it is on the other side of the Atlantic that we are in danger of rupture coming ; but even with that disturbed nationality there is every reason to expect that good management will prevent an outbreak. As for financial topics, Lord STANLEY was able to quote an opinion he had expressed when he last spoke at Lynn, which showed the correctness of his judgment and verified his predictions. Some people thought that he was sanguine and even speculative when he estimated the annual surplus on which we might reckon as £1,500,000 ; but the Chancellor of the Exchequer, an unquestionable authority on such matters, had shown that, from 1859 to the present time, there had been an annual surplus of £1,750,000. The noble lord showed his good sense in saying that he always thought one of the worst taxes on the list for repeal was the duty on fire insurances. The reduction now made does . not content him, and he truly declares that the duty must be reduced to a shilling, if not to sixpence. The income tax, the noble lord, thought might be reduced to 3d. in the pound. The malt duty he wisely considers should be re duced, and that its turn should come whenever practicable. As for the franchise, Lord STANLEY spoke very fairly and dispassionately. He said he did not refer especially as to whether Lord DERBY or Lord PALMERSTON had the greater number of votes, because when a question of this matter was debated a good many friends of Reform on the Liberal side of the house were more critical than enthusiastic. " There were many persons in Parliament and else where who were willing enough to talk theoretically about large measures of Reform when they were at a distance, but who did not like the look of them, and drew back when the time came for action.'l This descsription' is an admirable one, and forms a very correct illustration of the line of policy which is taken up and set down just as it suits the con venience of the professor, and chimes in with the ruling spirit of the hour. The noble lord, looking beyond Parliament to the country at large, beheld no disinclination to an extension of the franchise, but the upper and middle classes were afraid of being " swamped" by the admission of the working classes as a body. The noble lord men tioned a curious fact, that the three great popular movements of modern times were all carried by the upper and middle classes, and not by the working ones. The noble lord considers that a large addi tion may be made to the franchise without any harm accruing, and one mode which he advocates is the " savings bank franchise." Also he was in favour of extending the franchise to those only who were occupiers of a house. The county franchise, he thinks, should be reduced, but he did not pledge himself to any exact amount. " The multitude of small boroughs" Lord STANLEY rightly con demns, and, in his usual downright style, he calls them " the weakest part of our electoral system." A considerable redistribution of seats is what the noble lord will agree to, but with the proviso that a balance was maintained between the claims of the towns and the counties. This is a very fair condition, because all sweeping reformers seek to elevate the former to the almost entire depres sion of the latter. Bribery, of course, is a great temp tation to all sides when there are only two or three hundred electors. Many will be disappointed that Lord STANLEY is against the ballot, not that he is strong in his opposition, because he never thought it would do either the good or the harm that was ex pected from it. The noble lord declared himself against the " disgraceful and horrible scene of a public execution." On the whole, we may say that Lord STANLEY has successfully acquitted himself of his task, and that he has presented a tolerably correct definition of affairs, more especially in a social and domestic point of view. No one can have had a better op portunity than the noble lord of forming a judgment of matters which affect the interests of the working classes; because, though he belongs to the highest, he mixes with those who are bound up in 'the con cerns of the middle ranks, and he studies the ques tions relating to the lower orders without prejudice or partiality. When the demagogues rail at the aristocracy, they really know little or nothing about them ; and when the exclusives sneer at the rabble, they have not rightly observed their claims, nor the important part they hold in the social scale. Lord STANLEY has set an example which many candidates will do well and wisely to follow, and it is surely a vindication of the principles of our Constitution when the son of one of our highest nobility thus expresses himself frankly and fearlessly on great questions of importance and in terest to the community. There is nothing more wanted at elections than moderation in speech and toleration in opinion; and many serious errors would be avoided if they were observed and re spected.

Lord Stanley on Home and Foreign Politics. KING'S LYNN, Saturday. Lord Stanley addressed a very large meeting of his constituents at the Town-hall this afternoon. After a few introductory observations, he proceeded to remark upon matters of foreign policy. The Parliament and country were now, he said, in favour of non-intervention, and no Minister here after would dare to resist it. The question, there fore, which arose was, whether there was any security that nobody would pick a quarrel with us. Looking at our old rival—France—we find a ruler more friendly disposed towards this country than any ruler that had ever sat upon that throne, not excepting Louis Philippe, and the people have experienced a great change and have lost much of their love of glory and aggrandisement, and are now turning their attention to matters of trade and com merce. (Cheers.) Extending the survey over the rest of Europe, the only Power that any fear has been felt of to disturb the peace was Russia, but its finances are so deeply embarrassed, and the political disorganisation of that empire is the cause of so much internal disturbance, that there is no fear of any such aggression as that which occurred some years ago. The despotic sovereigns of Europe had quite enough to do to hold their crowns in one hand and to hold on to their thrones with the other. (Cheers.) His lordship had always thought there was a fight which must sooner or later come off in Europe, between Austria and Italy for Venice, and had only been delayed because both Governments had been increasing their armaments to a great ex tent, in the hope that each would ruin the other first. There was that and the consolidation of Ger many, and for neither of these ought we to have the slightest wish to interfere. If from any quarter it was the other side of the Atlantic. America expected at the hands of this country warm sympathy and moral support. This they did not receive, and with out doubt this caused a feeling of irritation. The two nations were rivals in trade and maritime power, and where there was a great deal of rivalry, there would always be a little jealousy. He had, he said, too much faith in the good sense of both England and America to anticipate war. They had had a good fight and were beginning to understand the meaning of a national debt, besides which they - bad got four millions of negroes turned loose on their hands to manage, and these were likely to give theca enough trouble. (Cheers.) If it were not so France would be much more likely to be the object of their attack, for by breaking the Monroe rule by the establishment of a French de pendency in Mexico, the French had offered a direct challenge to America, and if they did not seem disposed to quarrel when there was some cause, he did not think there was any fear so far as they were concerned ; and it became a question now if there could not be very safely a reduction of three or four millions in the cost of defending the country. With respect to financial taxation his lordship said, as to what taxes should be put first for reduction, he had always held that the worst tax they had was that which until recently was 3s. in the pound on fire insurances, but which had now been reduced to Is. 6d He thought that reduction ought to go further—to ls. or 6d. in the pound. (Cheers.) There was an other tax, that on locomotion, which yields £700,000 yearly, which was very objectionable, for anything which tended to increase the charge of transport was an impediment to trade and commerce. (Chee rs .) There was also the duty on timber, which was so far objectionable as being the only remaining duty on raw material. He thought there was also a number of other little things which, when there was another revision of the Customs, should be taken off. They must retain the staple articles of tea, coffee, sugar, tobacco, wine, and spirits. None of these were very excessive, except tobacco, whichthere were other rea sons for thinking did not require reduction. His views on the income tax would perhaps not be popu lar; he saw all its faults, but he did not see the wisdom of doing away with it. (A voice, " Lay it on pro perty.") That is a very large question, and one which when a man tries to understand he only finds the more that he doesnot understand. (Laughter.) He thought 11 per cent. on income would not be so very objec tionable. As to the malt tax he must decline to give any pledge. He did not think its total repeal practic able unless they swept off the whole of the indirect taxes, which realise a revenue of £30,000,000 a year. Its reduction was quite another thing. There was a class of persons who would repeal all the taxes, and put them all on realised property, which would be very unjust. His lordship then proceeded to state his views on questions respecting the franchise. He could not support Mr. Baines's £6 franchise, as that would be as arbitrary and unsatisfactory as the present. He had always been a warm supporter of the savings -bank franchise, and would give a vote to every man who had £5O in the savings banks for a certain time, or who had made provision for his family to the same extent in the Government An nuities. He would also adopt the lodger franchise, and these two classes would admit at least a quarter of a million of voters. Any other proposition of a like character he should be happy to consider. He was strongly in favour of a redistribution of seats. In some of the small boroughs there were not more than 200 or 300 electors, and consequently indivi dual votes were of greatimportance, and temptation was thrown in the way of both candidate and elec tor. He was still averse to the ballot, believing the present public mode of voting to be the One very important measure in connexion with the Poor law had been passed during the last session, and which was part of the original Poor-law scheme of 1834, and which was only abandoned then because of the local opposition. The noble lord having ex pressed himself as opposed to Parliamentary oaths, concluded his address by some remarks of a local character. CRICKET IN PARIS.—The match between the Paris Cricket Club and 11 officers of the 60th Rifles, 2d battalion, terminated yesterday in the victory of the former, with eight wickets to spare. The attendance, as on pre ceding day, was numerous and brilliant. MARK-LANE. The trade for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday was quiet. Selected produce, however, was firm in price, whilst in the value of secondary and inferior wheats no material change took place. The spring corn trade was decidedly firm, and previous quotations were well supported. In flour an average business was tran sacted, at full currencies. On the continent the wheat trade is somewhat inactive, but without leading to any particular change in prices. Spring corn, however, continues firm. Advices from New York state that an increased amount of business had been transacted in wheat for export. The arrivals of English produce up to our market last week was small. The imports from abroad amounted to 22,601 quarters of wheat, 21,909 barley, 68,355 oats, 31 beaus, 40 peas, 20 tares, 20,266 linseed, 2,520 rapeseed, 2,565 maize, 60 sundries, 651 sacks and 1,807 barrels of flour. A very small supply of home-grown wheat was received fresh up to our market to-day. The demand, however, both for red and white qualities was in a sluggish state ; yet factors were firm, and both Kent and Essex produce was held at quite last Monday's currency. At the close of business, a total clearance had not been effected ; never theless, previous quotations were supported. The condition of the produce was good. The supply of American wheat on sale was small, but the market was moderately supplied with continental pro duce. A large proportion of the latter, however, was of but middling quality. For good and prime foreign wheats there was a steady demand, and prices ruled firm ; other wise the trade was quiet at last Monday's currency. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair demand at late prices. The supply of barley on the stands was chiefly confined to foreign produce, which was chiefly of very middling quality. The few good and fine parcels on offer sold at fully late rates ; but in inferior qualities sales progressed slowly on former terms. Malt was in fair demand at full prices. There was a good supply of oats, chiefly foreign, on offer. In most qualities a full average business was trans acted at4,Friday's prices, or at a decline from Monday last of 6d yer quarter. The few beaus on sale were mostly disposed of, and they realised the rates current on Monday last. Peas, which were in short supply, moved off steadily at full quotations. Most descriptions of flour, both English and foreign, were in fair request at quite previous rates. CURRENCY PER IMP.

A steady business was transacted, at full quotations. The arrival of beasts, fresh up from our own grazing districts, were very moderate, and the quality of most breeds was only middling.

These bankrupts are described as of White Lion-court, Lombard-street, merchants, and to-day was appointed for the order of discharge. John Gladstone alone has sur rendered, a reward being offered for the apprehension of Thomas, but it is stated that full explanations have been given for his absence. Messrs. Hart, Ross, and Hayles, of Moorgate, have been for 'some time engaged upon tho accounts, which are of such a voluminous character that the completion must be a work of time. From a pro forma statement it appears that the liabilities will amount to between £600,000 and £700,000, while the assets are not expected to produce £150,000. SEEDS. The demand for neai'ly all agricultural seeds is inactive. In prices, however, no change has taken place. Linseed and rapeseed rule firm, at enhanced rates. Cakes are in steady request, at quite previous quotations. New rape seed was on offer, and was held at 100 s per quarter. furntro,White,p.bus.2os to 22s Swede —s -s Mustard, Brown —s White.

IN RE JOHN STEIVART-ANOTHER HEAVY FAILURE. This bankrupt was described as an engineer and iron founder, of Blackwall, and to-day was appointed for the order of discharge. The debts are £93,177, and the assets show a deficiency of £36,402, out of which £32,000 are returned as bad debts. Mr. Smart, the accountant, of 38, Gresham-street, has now filed the full statement, but before the case can be completed it is anticipated that the credi tors will require time to investigate it. Removal of Dr. Pritchard to Glasgow. EDINBURGH, Saturday Evening. This morning the convict Dr. Pritchard was removed from Calton Gaol (to which ho was conveyed yesterday after sentence of death had been passed upon him) to Duke street Prison, Glasgow, where he will be confined till the 28th inst., on which day he will be executed. It having been rumoured that the prisoner would leave Edinburgh by an eight o'clock train, large numbers of per sons congregated in the neighbourhood of the prison to witness his departure. Owing, however, to the indigna tion expressed by the public at large against the convict, Mr. Smith, the governor of the Calton Gaol, deemed it advisable not to expose him either to their curiosity or their probable taunts, and accordingly he decided not to remove him till 10 o'clock, by which hour the majority of the people had dispersed. A visible change came over the prisoner after his con viction. When he was brought back into the dock after the jury had returned to the box, he was paler than when he had left it. It was with an evident effort that he sought to compose himself while the dread sentence was pro nounced in the solemn hush of the court. The awful doom did not appear to startle the wretched man. Simultaneously with its delivery he turned his eyes up, then closed them, and slightly inclined his face towards the jury box, with a most forlorn expression. A moment afterwards he became faint and supported himself by leaning against one of the policemen, who sat next him. A glass of water was handed him, and recovering his strength he leant forward burying his face in his handkerchief. He subsequently regained his composure, and upon his name being pronounced by the judge he stood up, slightly inclining his head as a mark of respect to his lordship, which he did from time to time, indicating his full knowledge of the importance of the sentence. Finally, at the words that "on the 28th of the month you will be hanged by the neck till dead, and may God have mercy on your soul," he bowed to the jury then to the judges, and firmly descended the steps leading out of the dock to the strong room beneath tho court, ask ing one of the policemen to fetch his hat, which he had left on the seat in the dock. Upon reaching the room, he threw himself on to a seat, exclaiming, "I am innocent." A medical gentleman was in attendance, and offered him any services that he might require. The prisoner, however, politely declined the proffered assistance ; i remarking—" I thank you, sir, lam quite well, and shall die happy." He afterwards partook of some tea, and was then escorted to the prison van, which was drawn up at the door of the court-house to convey him back to Calton Gaol. Some hundreds of parsons had by this time assembled to catch a glimpse of the prisoner. On alighting at the pri son gates he was taken charge of by the superior officials of the prison. He was removed to his cell, where ho was watched during the night by a guard of three men, the governor thinking it prudent, as the prisoner was a some what powerful man, to have an extra guard in the event of his attempting any violence. In the morning, as was stated, -he was taken away in the custody of two officers to Glasgow. THE DECAY OF CRITICISM.--There was a time when the Edinburgh and Quarterly were big with fate to the literary tribe; but, as a popular writer informed us this very June, " Who is the editor of either of these tremen dous Reviews, is quite a secret now a days," while what they haVe to say about books is almost equally hidden from the generality of readers. People don't want to be told any longer what to read, but choose for themselves. It is not now a matter of purchase, as it used to be ; we have not to invest 31s. 6d. upon a three-volume novel, before doing which one naturally requires some sort of guarantee of its being worth the money ; but if the title takes us, or the author is a favourite one, we simply put it down in our list at ➢iudie's without the expense of a penny. This is doubt less one great cause of the decay of the influence of re views; another is owing to the inferiority of the critics themselves. When the Buff and the Blue had it all their own way, although their notices of books were often preju diced and malicious, neither learning nor labour was want ing. The writers took great pains with their work, and were, at all events, so far conscientious. But reviews aro now fired off upon all sides like squibs, and the object of the critics is neither justice nor enlightenment, but display of their own wit. A book is gutted of its best extracts, or its worst (according to the good nature or malice of the reviewer), in order to make an amusing article. Some very feeble writers have been dragged out of their proper obscu rity in order to be made a laughing-stock of, but we cannot remember one good book which has been revealed to the public for the last five years through the intervention of a critic. When the public have found one out, it is time enough, it seems, for tho critics to notice it. Just as though it were the business of the truffle-pigs to grunt ap plause, and that of the bon rivants to dig up the truffles.— Chambers's Journals. A RATHER STRONG ARGUMENT IN FAVOUR OF LIFE PEERAGES.—The Hon. Richard Bethell has obtained of late an unenviable notoriety ; ho has succeeded not merely in ruining himself, but has pulled down his father along with himself, and deprived the country of the services of a man of great ability and of strenuous exer tions to effect reforms where much wanted. And yet, as soon as Lord Westbury dis, the son, let him be skulk ing where he may, will become a co-ordinate legislator in our highest house with some of our best and most honoured men. I Does not this teach us the valise of life peerages? Lord Derby and his party resisted effectually on a late occasion the introduction of a most eligible man into the House of Lords for life only, but he was (although a lawyer) to sit on their cushions, side by side with heredi tary senators. The woolsack is rarely occupied by men of that class, and perhaps consent might be obtained to let the forthcoming now Chancellor hold his place and title for life only, as do the bishops. —A Correspondent of the Examiner. TIIE LATE CONFEDERATE CRUISER RAPPAHAN NOCK.—The Beatrice, formerly the Rappahannock,, now the property of a Liverpool shipowner, left Calais for Southampton on July 2, and Southampton for Liverpool on Thursday. On Friday evening, whon off Point Lynas, she was sighted by the Federal frigate, which was reported on the day as having anchored near the Point, and re fused to signal her name. The frigate made chase, and, as the Beatrice made no effort to get away, the former came up with her. Having overhauled her, the frigate altered her own course and made off, and the Beatrice was allowed to proceed quietly on her voyage, arriving at Liverpool the same night. A pilot boat offered the assistance of a pilot to the Federal vessel, but the offer was declined. . • , 1 6=t4. , _ 4AO (ffUr Caulk HER MAJESTY. WINDSOR CASTLE, July 8.

THE PRINCE OF WALES AND THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL EXHIBITION.—AIthough we are not in a position to announce that the Prince of Wales has definitely decided to visit Plymouth this month, facts have , come to our knowledge inducing a strong conviction that such will be the case. His royal highness will, of course, be the guest of the Right lion. the Earl of Mount-Edg cumbe during his stay. It is the ardent wish of the whole population of Devon and Cornwall that the prince should honour the two counties with his presence, and that 1 0 may be-accompanied by the princess.-- Western Morning News.
