Finally, the election is over and the town wears a new air of com fort and prosperity; men pay their debts, build houses, increase their business; a looker-on might imagine that he was surveying one of those small seaports where an exceptionally good fishery had enriched the whole population. This is au accu rate sketch of an election in more than one small town in England. That the moralist should view such a picture in dismay cannot be disputed; that the country is interested in snppressing such abuses, nothing can be truer. But the fact should not be lost sight of that a candidate who has paid so dearly for his seat is not necessarily a bad member of Par liament. The composition of the House of Com mons is not necessarily deteriorated by facts of this kind, and this particular species of corruption can not affect it as to the two most indispensable quali ties in a political assembly—independence and intelligence. Corruption carried on with the resources of the State would have the sad dest consequences. Let us suppose, for instance, that instead of the candidates paying their electors they obtained their votes by promising, in the name of the Government, a place, a road, a canal, or a railway ; who will dare to say that an M.P. of this kind would be independent of the executive ? Cer tainly it is deplorable that an hon. member, such as he, of Yarmouth for example, should have bought, according to the account of his own agent, 236 votes for 98,062 f. 50c. ; but after all, after paying such a price for his seat, he would be likely to vote as he pleased in the House of Commons, and would judge the affairs of the country to the best of his under standing and with perfect independence. Could as much be said of him if he owed his seat to the de clared and overwhelming protection of the Ministry whichhad controlled the election, whether that Mi nistry were that of Earl Russell or Lord Derby ?" M. Paradol seems to think that the lowering of the franchise and the increase of electors will merely act on the " vote market" by cheapening the quantity, in virtue of great law of supply and demand : PRICE..... 4d. STAMPED sd. and while we thank our countrymen at the antipodes for their service and their example we should wish to see them liberally rewarded with the hone urs for which they are anxious, and which they have gal lantly earned. But, besides all this, we should im prove the lesson at home. We seem to be taking such excessive pains in the manufacture of soldiers that the product itself actually suffers in the process. A simpler system, with more useful practice and less drill, more freedom of mind and muscle, and less complexity of exercise and routine, would probably give us at once a better army and make that army a more popular profession. PosT.—The Ministerial scheme for the annexation of Hanover, Electoral-Hesse, Nassau, and the city of Frankfort has been accepted in its entirety by the Prussian Chambers, and very little time will now elapse before the law sanctioning this arrangement is carried into practical operation. Regarding the in corporation of these several States with Prussia as a political necessity, we cannot help thinking that the means suggested by the advisers of King William for the accomplishment of this object were the best that could have been adopted. And this will appear even more manifest from a consideration of the ob jections raised by some of the members of the Cham ber of Deputies in the course of the debate on the p ass ing of the bill. The task of conquering a State is, in the majority of cases, much easier than that of retaining it in possession, and, notwithstanding the almost incredible facility with which Prussia made herself mistress of Hanover, Hesse, Nassau, and Frankfort, the difficulty of devisinga mode by which they would be united to Prussia and at the same time contribute to her strength was one which so sagacious a statesman as Count Bismarck was not likely to overlook. In one respect circumstances may be said to have contributed to render the task com paratively easy. Germany has always longed for unity. The inhabitants of the various states of the Confederation, if we except Austria, speak the same language, and regard their respective territories as constituting portions of the same fatherland. Again, to Prussia the majority have always looked upon as their recognised leader ; and if their alle giance has been in part divided with Austria, the fact has been due not to an affection for that Power, but to that instinct of self-preservation which told them that the rivalry of the two great Powers fur nished the only possible guarantee for their own safety. Now, however, that the rivalry has termi nated, and that, bon gre mal gre, nothing remains but to link their fortunes with Prussia, the popula tions of the minor States, at least of those north of the Maine, will naturally incline to a fusion of in terests which cannot but operate to their own ad vantage. In dealing therefore with those four in dependent States which we have enumerated, the Prussian Government were placed in a position far superior to that in which conquerors generally find themselves, and notably to that which Prussia occu pied when dealing with her share of the kingdom of Poland, or Austria when she incorporated Venetia with her heterogeneous empire. The difficulties which, on the other hand, beset her 'Path, and the obstacles which she found it essential to surmount, may perhaps be best understood from a considera tion of amendments to the Ministerial scheme of incorporation which were offered in the Chamber of Deputies by some of the members of the Liberal party. The bill for the annexation of the conquered States consisted of three sections—the first provid ing that those States should be united to Prussia in conformity with a provision of the constitution establishing Prussian laws and Prussian institutions throughout Prussian territory, the second postpon ing the operation of the Prussian constitution in the annexed States for a period of twelve months, and the third entrusting to the Ministry the execu tion of the act. To this measure two amendments were proposed, one by Herr Lome to the effect that existing institutions should be preserved as much as possible, and the other by Herr Michelis making the incorporation depend on the assent of the represen tative bodies of the respective States. The latter, it is needless to say, went to the very root of the measure, and in effect denied any right on the part of Prussia to avail herself of the advantages con ferred on her as a conqueror. The right of con quest, it was said, depended on the law of nations, but as the various States of the Confederation constituted a league, such law could not possibly apply in determining the relations subsisting be tween V lPr i ) " - TV ---ra'n - n - r hear precise y o tha Ind wuc one sr ou expect o ear adduced in an assembly of Germans, but in the pre sence of the practical manner in which it is ignored by Prussia and Austria, it sounds a little strange when advanced in the Chamber of Deputies at Berlin. Besides, as was well observed in the course of the de bate, the result of the adoption of this amendment would be that the Han overians would demand there establishment of the Royal House of Guelph, and thus the obstacle which now stands in the way of a united Germany, namely, the existence of small States, would be perpetuated. The amendment of Herr Michells was ultimately withdrawn, for not even the most extreme members of the Opposition could be brought to concur with that gentleman in thinking that the project in which Prussia is now engaged, and for the accomplishment of which she has incurred such immense risks, should be made dependent on the sanction of the inhabitants of a few minor States. The amendment of Herr Loewe stood on a very diffe rent footing. A people may be brought to abandon its allegiance to a particular dynasty, but it is with difficulty and only after a long lapse of time that it can reconcile itself to a change in its institutions. Whatever justification might be offered for the course adopted by Prussia in extinguishing petty courts which, even if preserved, would only be ruled by royal puppets, there was none, it was urged, for depriving different sections of the German people of the insti tutions which they possessed, the laws which they respected, and the usages with which they were sa tisfied. Prussia, it was contended, was not making war upon kindred peoples, but only on the anoma lous system by which those peoples were kept apart an d their energies wasted in idle and foolish rivalry. If it was necessary or expedient that Ha nover and Nassau, Electoral -Hesse and the free city of Frankfort should become parcels of the Prussian kingdom, it was not indispensable for effecting this object that the existing institutions should be sum marily extinguished. These arguments, it must be confessed, had much to recommend them ; the counter-objection, however, that if the territories are to become Prussian the institutions must also be assimilated, was held by the large majority of the Chamber to be unanswerable. The suggestion which Herr Gniest, one of the leaders of the Liberal party, offered, to the effect that the Prussian consti tution should forthwith be introduced into the an nexed States, and that all existing institutions not incompatible with it should be permitted to subsist, is well worthy of the attention of the Prussian Go vernment. As was well observed in the course of the debate, the inhabitants of the conquered States will have very little to be grateful for in receiving a constitution such as that which Prussians have pos sessed during the past four or five years. How ever, it is the best which it is in the power of the conquerors to give, and, as one of the speakers pointed out, the recipients will be in as good a posi tion as the donors to effect an improvement in it, in the event of any future conflict of opinion be tween the people and the Crown. " What is the use (he says) of invoking reason when experience has pronounced ? In this very inquiry the electoral agent was asked how be would manage municipal elections where he had to treat with some 4,000 electors instead of a few hundreds. He replied ingeniously that those elections must be paid for like the others, but that in municipal elec tidns- the price of votes never rose above 2s. 6d. (3 francs.) To lower the price of votes from 125 f. to an average of 3f. or 4f. at the outside, and to consolidate by increasing their number, the pre ponderance of venal voices would therefore be the certain, the mathematical, result of universal suf frage at Totnes or Yarmouth. In this calculation, and above all in that striking example of the mu nicipal elections, there is nothing encouraging for the Reformers. In the meantime, Parliament will doubtless exercise its sovereign power in the case of these venal boroughs and deprive them of the franchise for a time. It is a kind of indirect fine inflicted on the electors, since some thing is taken away from them which they too well understand how to sell. But it is easier thus to punish the abuse than to destroy its cause." The Queen of the Bees. (From Once a Week.) In every hive there are a queen, male bees or drones, and workers, which are of no gender, or rather undeveloped females. The queen is con siderably larger than the drone, and the drone is about as much larger than the working bee. There is never more than one queen in a hive, and if a stranger queen should happen by accident, or in the indulgence of her curiosity, to enter a hive in which her authority is not recognized, the bees who act as guards at the entrance instantly seize her, and though their respect for royalty is too great to allow of their ill-treating her, they crowd upon her so tlINCllll‘r +l,ni net rsrse4 v.'s a L.,— ease until their own queen arrives to do battle in defence of her lawful rights. The conduct of the commonalty under such circumstances is exceedingly remarkable ; they could put the intruder to death if they choose, without suffering their own queen to run the risk of being killed, but they do not do so ; they act strictly on the principle of fair play ; at the same time they will not allow the combatants to separate until the victory is achieved by one of them. The instant their queen makes_ its appearance, at tended by a number of her subjects, those who hold the stranger in custody draw back, and leave a clear space for the encounter. If, as rarely happens, the two sovereigns have no desire to fight, or if they try to run away, the workers seize them, and will on no account allow them to indulge their cowardice ; they are never allowed to quit the arena, nor to cease fighting until one is killed. Huber relates several experiments made by him with the view of ascertaining if this conduct of the bees were inva riable, and he found that it was ; whether the com batants were two queens, both engaged in laying eggs, or a fertile queen and a virgin queen, or two virgin queens. A very singular circumstance in con nexion with these encounters is, that both manifest the greatest horror of using their stings whenever in the course of the fight they find themselves in a posi tion to kill each other. In such cases they separate, and show no desire to renew the fight, but the spectators lay hold of them, and draw them back into the cleared space, and compel them to face each other again. It is not often, however, that the queen of the hive requires any compulsion to fight. Her jealousy of a rival is of the most intense character ; and if two emerge from their cells at the same mo ment, their first act is to rush at each other and settle by a single combat which is to rule ; they will w no er m ke e r r s e consent to a w d o i ni vid d e p d e jZ it sd:. In tion tthanh this the re - spect the example of the competitors for the throne might be imitat e d w i t h advantage to human i ty by human competitors—they do not suffer or incite their future subjects to engage in a civil war in sup port of their respective claims, but decide the ques tion by the simple process of fighting it out in their own persons. There are occasions, however, when the jealousy of the queen has to be restrained in the interest of the community ; this is especially the case when a portion of the hive is about to quit for a separate habitation, in c onsequence of the in crease of their numbers. The emigrants on these occasions are led by the old q ueen, and a new queen is liberated to tak e her place in the hive as soon as she departs. But if at the moment the e merge the or threatensweather fall, t le i m n e n t s og t t a ht the n he t re ywt hoaeu watchfulness aigcliir: sae :s i nooofistwhn i e ll ege eu b sa e sradr d y e a l p a tp y oo e i d pa , rt ee a vd n e d tnaont t d h rh e rekor c i overcast, colony t l ,, a an ab d about to to eit from putting her to death, and from tearing open the cells containing the royal brood, occupants. The guards do not treat her with dis respect or unkindness, but they are firm. It is said that she sometimes paralyses th • eir movements by emitting a low humming soun d, precisely as if she were addressing th em, and th entries to take advan tage of the effect she produces to renew her attempt; but the instant she becom es . silent they awake to the sense of th e i r dut •y, indeed they have ever for gotten it in.listening to her. A Fiench View of English Electoral Corruption M. Provost Paradol contributes to the Debats a few remarks on the " Electoral Manners and Customs " of the boroughs of Yarmouth and Totnes ; and, after a short sketch of the modus operandi of the free and independent who attach such a high value to the suffrage, he proceeds to say "The English public does not practise the pre cept of washing its dirty linen en fanziae, and does not consider that the honour of the country makes it desirable carefully to hush up any disgrace ful facts which its enemie s could misuse to depreciate its institutions . Therefore, without the least mystery, it places unaer the eyes of the whole world the sad picture of elections such as those of Totncs and Yarmouth. For these small boroughs it seems that a contested election is a sort of vivifying dew, a kind of manna fallen from Hea ven. The only problem is to discover two candidates resolved to carry the seat, for if there be not a severe struggle, the elector can make nothing by the elec tion. The friends of the town—good patriots in a local point of view—therefore set to work to find out rich and determined candidates. They find the m without much difficulty amongst those manufacturers and tradesmen, who, having made their fortune, de sire to acquire a parliamentary status. Candidates of such excellent disposition prepare for an election as for a commercial venture ; they collect their funds and hold themselves ready to carry the day by the sheer weight of their purse. But either side hesitates to begin, for the ordinary argument adduced to ex- THE CUSTODY OF INFANTS.--Yesterday a ques tion as to the custody of infants, under the charge of the C ourt of Chancery, came on before Mr. Peaks, tho chief clerk att ac h ed to Vice-Chancellor Stuart'; court.

Mr. Boyes. They had not returned, and hence the present application, and it was said that an application would be made to commit Mrs. Bradley and Mr. and Mrs. Eden, unless the boys at once returned. Mr. Eden's clerk said he had nothing to do with the boys, and thought the Vice- Chancellor bad shown "a good deal or was a fe e el m in a g a " e in fo tl r ie the re-mat ter.

P. Wright, M.D. The President, Lord Talbot de Malahide, read the address in which the members warmly congra tulated Lord Abercorn on his appointment, and laid before him a statement of the nature, objects, and claims of the learned body to which they be long. His Excellency read the following reply My Lord President and Council of the Royal Irish Academy, I have great pleasure in responding to the address with which you have just presented mo. Congratulations emanating from your learned society cannot fail to be most acceptable to me on my assumption of the office which her Majesty the Queen has been graciously pleased to confer upon me. My intimate connection with Ireland causes me to take a more especial interest in the learned body which you so worthily, represent, and, as you kindly remark, your efforts in the cause of science and literature, and the success which has attended those efforts, are fully known to me. The labours of the many eminent men who, since the foun dation of your society, have continually promoted the ob jects for which it was instituted, have been of lasting bene fit to this country, while their researches in Irish literature and antiquities have contributed most important additions to the archa3ological history of Europe. It is gratifying to find an institution in Ireland whose objects are such as to create a common interest among men of all parties and all pursuits in the promotion of tho national literature and science of the present clay, as well as in the investigation of the evidences which exist of a remote, yet remarkable, civilisation in the primitive history of this country. I have great pleasure in accepting the office of visitor to your so ciety, and I shall always endeavour to do anything which may be in my power to promote its interest." A sensation was produced in Dublin yesterday by the appearance in The Freeman of the following letter, copied from the New York. Tribune of Sep tember 1, with the professed object of bringing " the charges against M r . Stephens's patriotism to the ground :" " JAMES STEPHENS, "Respected Sir,— Before leaving Ireland I heard with pain and horror that the rumour was started and kept afloat very industriously in this country that you were set at large by the connivance of the British Government. Now, Sir, 1 was a warder in Richmond Bridewell at the time of your escape, aided in it to the fullest of my power and ability, and denounce all such statements as wilful and malicious falsehoods. I was arrested, as you know, on the morning of your escape, tried at the sitting of the Special Commission, where the jury, packed as it was, were unable to find evi dence to convict me. I was remanded. Finally, nothing turning up either here or in Ireland to give the least proof of my complicity, to the credit be it spoken of those en gaged in it, I was allowed out on bail last April. This state ment, as far as it goes to exonerate you, can, no doubt, be fully corroborated by your respected deputy, Colonel Kelly, who it was for more than a week met me every day or night under the shadow of the prison walls, and perfected the plans which worked so admirably. It will always be a sourco of delight to me to think over that long, dreary, howling, wet night, when so many hearts beat expectant in the manly bosoms outside the walls for the preconcerted signal to welcome you to the outer world, where you have done so much to establish your right to the liberty you wined en that haer.a9rablQ ;light. It 1 45 9 1t ou raised my SPIRIT OF THE,,PDBLIO JOURNALS. TIMES.—It is to be hoped that the military history of our colony of New Zealand may be carefully studied, and not soon forgotten. That settlement has cost the British taxpayer many a million, but the outlay will produce a substantial return if the lessons of recent experience be honestly applied, not only to the system of colonial defences, but to our military system altogether. The reader will please to remember that that native population of New Zealand is, and has been for years, under 50,000. It barely exceeded that number in 1858, and it has been uninterruptedly on the decline. Of this popu lation 30,000 at the outside were males, and, if we assume that one in three of these was able to bear arms, we shall get a force of 10,000 men as the aggregate fighting strength of all the savage tribes. But of these tribes some are always friendly, others neutral ; and it is believed that of late years, at any rate, no rebel army in the field against us has exceeded 2,000 combatants. On the side of the Government was a population of Europeans, com prising in 1861 no fewer than 64,000 males, and increasing rapidly. No further remark, we think, should be needed to show that New Zealand was perfectly able to defend itself, and that the colonists were fully competent by strength of numbers alone, apart from all other resources, to deal with any insurrection or outbreak of the native tribes. But there is a good deal more to be added. These colonists could at any time have availed themselves of native allies against Itative enemies, and they were supported by a little squad ron of corvettes and gunboats on the coast, to say nothing of Enfield rifles and Armstrong guns. Nevertheless, things had got somehow into such a groove that whenever the savages chose to take to fighting, as they did about every two years, the affair was actually regarded in the light of an Impe rial war, and Her Majesty's troops were despatched from this country to the antipodes, at au enormous cost, to conduct operations against a swarm of na tives in the bush. The proceedings, protracted for ty ea r nr syrr, • • viv ottlaldt3 3 , LULU hen settled by a transaction called a treaty, came under the description of "the war in New Zealand" and generally added a million or two to the Esti mates before the account was cleared. The state ment will appear hardly credible, but it is neverthe less a fact that two years ago, when the relative numbers of settlers and natives were such as we have specified, a British army of 10,000 regular troops—infantry, artillery, and engineers —was maintained in the colony for the prosecution of "the war," althaugh at that moment the colonial forces actually in arms for the protection of the colony were at least three times as numerous as the whole body of natives in the field. The mischief, too, of the system, was that, with all this prodigious waste of power, we never did any good. No. New Zealand war, even if reputed successful, ever left the natives with a conviction that they had better not go to war again. They rather enjoyed their campaign than not, and only made overtures for peace when fight ing had become tedious, or the harvest demanded their attention. Six months afterwards the news came that " war" had broken out again, and that a body of natives, perhaps 300 in number, had kept the Queen's troops at bay for a month, and then decamped without leaving wounded or prisoners behind them. At last, however, and after humi liating experience, the secret of all this mischief was discovered, or, it would be better to say, recognized. What kept up the New Zealand war was the army which we sent to New Zealand to put it down. Our regular troops, regularly manoeuvred under regular commanders according to the theories of European campaigning, were not the troops for this kind of service. Turned into Volunteers, and relieved of stocks, pipeclay, knapsacks, drill, and science, they would have disposed of the enemy quickly enough, but their natural powers and courage were utterly destroyed by the application of professional tactics to rough bush-fighting. At length the truth was seen. The war was handed over to : colonial levies, with a few regulars, under a really active commander, and in six months the de lusion was dispelled fur ever. Not only need we never again send an army to New Zealand, but we shall probably never again hear of a New Zealand war. The lesson, however, thus taught us is of wide and general application. The system which disabled our army in New Zealand cannot well be expected to improve it any Where else. There is no reason, -of course, for jumping to the conclusion that the discipline and tactics which so visibly sufficed for New Zealand Volunteers would suffice under all circumstances for the whole British Army ; but we believe it is really true that our system of drill, while it harasses the men and renders the service unpopu lar, is actually more damaging than advantageous to the general efficiency of the troops. Au elaborate and complicated system of parade movements, half of which would be utterly useless in the work of a cam paign, worries the soldier, puzzles the officer, and forms the staple of military instruction, to the ex clusion of far more important training. it would surely be better to give the soldier more liberty, and to cultivate his intelligence and enlarge his re sources while relieving him from the irksomeness of purely mechanical exercise. When fine, brave, and well-equipped troops are systematically put at a disadvantage by half-armed savages, it is clear there must be some impediment to success in the system adopted and the tactics employed. In fact, the colonial volunteers actually took the native re doubts, which our regular soldiers could not, or rather did not, take. The soldiers could have done the work fast enough in volunteer fashion, but found it impracticable after the fashion prescribed to them. It is evident, not only from this example; but from the enlarged experience of European warfare, that a soldier need not be such a machine as we make of him, and that under a more intelligent system he could not only be produced with far greater ease, but be a far better specimen into the bargain. High drill is by no means identical with perfect efficiency. The knowledge of a few simple movements, com bined with expertness in the use of arms, and, above all, with that muscular training which gives the greatest amount of activity and endurance, would forma very good qualification for a modern soldier. We have seen in the last few months that troops should be strong and hardy, able to march well and march long, that they should be so clothed as to re tain the freest possible play of limb, and that they should be armed with the most destructive weapon known to science. We have seen that beyond this very little proficiency is required, and that the rest depends upon the perfection of subsidiarydep_art ments, and such general organisat ion as will place troops in the field at the shortest possible notice, and maintain them there in the greatest possible efficiency by good food, good transport, good medical service, good supports, and good reliefs. We should like to see this lesson seriously applied. New Zealand wars are past and gone; other colonial garrisons may be mea sured by the experience acquired in New Zealand, ft.
