ELECTION TBLLIGENCE. WESTMINSTER. Last evening the first public meeting called for the electors of Westminster to hear Mr. J. Stuart Mill was held in St. James's-hall. The spacious hall was crowded almost as soon as the doors were open. Dr. Lankester occupied the chair. Mr. MILL, on rising to address the meeting, was received with the utmost enthusiasm. The people rose en masse, and waved their hats and cheered, and again and again renewed the cheers. When silence was restored he said it was probable that many per sons present might desire that he should explain why he had hitherto abstained from all the ordinary practices of a candidate for Parliament in refraining from appearing publicly to meet the electors. His reasons for so acting had been stated in a letter which he addressed to the electors. When he said in his letter that he did not desire for his own sake to be elected, he meant what he said. He had no personal object to gain in entering Parliament, but on the other hand he should do so at a sacrifice, for he should sacrifice that liberty which he had just gained after the restraints in office of many years' continuance. Ile mentioned this because many persons seemed to think that a writer like himself could have had no experience or knowledge of public business, but the fact was that for 35 years every day of his life had been passed in the actual business of Government. These personal considerations he cast aside, but one thing he could not cast aside—the dislike he had of the ordinary modes in which the suffrages of the elec tors were sought. To be selected by a large body of his fellow-countrymen as the representative of what was highest in their minds—of their consciences, of their understandings, of their sincere convictions, and of their patriotic feelings—was one of the highest honours that it was possible for a citizen of a free country to receive. (Loud cheers.) But he could not consent to represent in Parliament that part of the electoral body whose minds were to be got at by money—to be reached bytrickery, by saying one thing and meaning another, by making promises which were not intended to be acted upon, and which, being contrary to one's own convictions, it would be the greater breach of morality to keep. Such a re presentation he should not regard as an honour, but as a disgrace. (Cheers.) When, therefore, a body of this great constituency made him the most flatter ing proposal of presenting him for their suffrages, he replied if it were so it should not be by laying out £lO,OOO in corrupting and debauching that part of the constituency which was corruptible and debauch able, and neither should it be by any pledges, ex cept it was the single pledge to be always open and above board. (Loud cheers.) He would not become a candidate if he was to solicit their votes, for he was against the whole system of solicitation of votes as a mistake; not that he condemned those who solicited votes, so long, however, as they did not make a bad custom worse than they found it. A seat in Parliament should not be a matter for solici tation, because it could not be a matter of favour. The candidate had no right to ask such favour of the voter, for the voter had no right in the matter but to select the fittest man, or who appeared so. (Cheers.) To the honour of Westminster a body of men were found who were sufficiently alive to what was due to public principle, who were sufficiently so licitous of their own honour and the honour of the constituency, to say that not the man who did those things, but the man who would not do them, was the man of their choice. (Cheers.) It remained to be seen if the electors of Westminster thought so too. It would have been quite inconsistent with these opi nions for him to hare gone round and asked them for their votes. His principle was that they should elect the fittest man, and would it have been decent for him to have come among them and said, " I am the fittest man ?" Ile told them to elect the man of greatest merit ; and what would they have thought of him if he stood before them and said, " Here's the man of merit—choose me ?" (Cheers.) He was not there because he proposed himself, but because he was proposed by others. Let them not suppose he thought all the fine things of himself which others with so much exaggeration, but with a strength and out of a depth of kindly feeling, had said of him. All this was to be excused at an election time, for then a man was unduly praised, as well as unduly attacked. (Cheers.) lie had two reasons for coming forward now. He was told that many desired to know more of him than they had gathered from his writings, and this had left him no option but to ap pear before them, and this was the only pledge he could give —that he would fairly and openly answer anything they would like to ask of him. (Cheers.) It would have been easy in him to have put forth a profession of political faith, which need not have been one of those wishy-washy colourless addresses found in the papers now, and which might with equal propriety be signed by either Tory or Whig, and were consistent with almost every vote. He could have put forth a list of political principles with which he entirely agreed, and might have passed gently over all subjects on which there were differences, and observed a discreet silence about principles which which would have startled any one. He had put forth no address, but, instead, he undertook to answer unreservedly any question put to him, and he had done so in a manner that had created a sort of scandal in the electioneering world. What pledged him to say anything about women's votes, or the re presentation of minorities ? Was it likely that any questions about those topics would have been put to him ? They had, however, asked him about his ideas on reform, and being asked it did not seem consistent with his views of plain dealing to keep back any of his opinions. (Cheers.) By speaking warmly he lowered himself greatly in the opinions of many of those p ersons w h o th oug ht it a c l ever thing in a candidate to dissemble, and to resort to finesse in order to sa ve hi m f rom comm i tt i ng h i mself to anything if he could help it. When he stated what he thought, " How injudicious," said one, " [low impracticable," said another. "How can you possibly expect to be elected on such a pro gramme ?" said a sincere friend. To this he asked them to consider on the one hand if he had a choice whether he should rather choose to be honest than be elected—(loud cheers, which continued for several minutes)—and on the other that perhaps the electors of Westminster had a taste for honesty as well. The most practical thing was honesty, and perhaps they would live to learn this lesson. "Without at tempting to travel through the whole catalogue of political topics, he would announce himself as a can didate of advanced Liberalism, and he would tell them what he thought this meant. Mr. Gladstone —(cheers)--in one of those memorable speeches which had made every sincere Reformer in the country look to him as the future Parliamentary chief—(cheers)—gave his definition of the difference between a Tory and a Liberal. He said that Liberalism was trust in the people only limited by prudence, and that Toryism was distrust of the people limited only by fear. However good and happy this distinction might be, there was another which might be given. The view which might be taken of a Liberal was that he was one who looked forward for his principles of Government, while the Tory was one who looked backward for his. The Tory was of opinion that the real model of good government was somewhere behind, in that region from which we were departing further and further every day ; that it was in the subjection and de pendence of the great masses of the community in temporal matters on hereditary possessors of wealth, and in spiritual matters on the Church. The Tory to the last moment opposed all things which departed from this model, and when beaten accepted his defeat as a necessity of the day, but still looked for the means of good government on the restora tion of the feudal principle. The Liberal had views far different from that, for he was of opinion that we had not yet arrived at a perfect model of go vernment, and hail not seen such except in outline, but he looked for it before and not behind, and he saw that it lay in the emancipation of the dependent classes. (Cheers.) It lay in more freedom, more equality, more responsibility of each person for him - self. (Cheers.) lie then went on to urge that it was a sharde for Westminster that there should be a doubt as to the result of the debasing influences brought to bear in this el ec ti on, and remnded them, in conclusion, that it was the go o d name of ' West minster that was at stake in this contest, for, he said, if money win in this ancient borough West- minster will have fallen from her high glory, and the cause of popular institutions will have to go forward without this great Liberal city. The speaker then resumed his seat amid loud and long continued applause. Various questions were asked ani answered, and after speeches by Mr. Malleson, Prof eFsor Fawcett, Mr. H. Vincent, the Hon. L. Stanley, Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q.C., Mr. T. B. Potter, and a lady, a vote pledging the meeting to support Mr. Mill was carried with acclamation, FINSBURY. Of the five candidates who are contesting this borough, it is expected that only three will go to the poll—namely, Mr. Cox, Mr. M'Cullagh Torrens, and Mr. Alderman Lusk, for it is almost unques tionable that the contest will be between these. The two first-named gentlemen are contesting the borough on the purity principle, and Sir Morton Peto has sent the committee of Mr. Cox the sum of £2O towards their expenses. Meetings are held every evening by the different candidates, and gene rally votes in favour of each are passed almost una nimously. It is expected that the nomination will take place next Tuesday and the polling on Wed nesday. MARYLEBONE. The personal upopularity of Lord Fermoy with a large number of his constituents has led to an invi tation to Mr. Thomas Chambers (the Common- Sergeant) to stand for the borough in the Liberal interest. He has been very warmly received, and has the earnest support of gentlemen of great in fluence and weight in the three parishes of the borough. His friends are confident that they will be able to secure his election, even in the event of a contest, which, however, many consider will not take place, as there is a general and growing expectation that Lord Fermoy will retire. LAMBETH. We understand that the nomination will take place at the hustings, Kennington-park, on Monday, the 10th inst., and the polling on the day following. BURY (LANCASHIRE). Mr. F. Peel has been a,ldressing open-air meet ings of his constituents this week. He was received with somewhat boisterous demonstrations of affec tion by the crowd who awaited his arrival. Mr. R. N. Phillips, who represented Bury in the Parlia ment of 1857, is again proposed by the more ad vanced section of the Liberals, who seek to return him, although he has not come forward as a candi date. CALNE. The Mr. Griffith, the Worcestershire schools re former, who came down here a month ago to oppose the re-election of Mr. Lowe, has exercised his dis cretion in retiring from the field. CANTERBURY. Having determined at the last moment to have contest the Liberals have put forward Col. Adair as their second candidate, with, as they believe, a very fair prospect of returning both h'm and Major Lyon. Colonel Adair describes himself m a Liberal Reformer of 30 years' standing, and that, if elected, his object will always be to extend and purify the Parliamentary franchise, and to give every facility for its exercise unfettered. CRICKLADE. The contesting members for the borough and hundreds of Cricklade, which comprise Swindon and a large agricultural district, are Lord Eliot (Liberal), and Mr. A. L. Goddard, and Mr. Daniel Gooch (Conservatives). Mr. Gooch is a gentleman well known to the public, the Atlantic cable being about to be laid under his superintendence. Mr. Gooch delivered his farewell address to the electors some few days since, as he said the Great Eastern would probably sail with the cable three days before the election. HAVERF ORD WES T. Mr. J. H. Scourficid, the Conservative sitting member, is to be opposed by Captain Edwardes, the eldest son of Lord Kensington, the Lord-Lieu tenant of Pembrokeshire. Capt. Edwardes, in his address, declares himself in favour of an extension of the franchise and of the abolition. of church-rates. Parties are so evenly balanced in the borough that an unusually severe and close contest is looked forward to. LYNN REGIS. A renewal of the contest in this borough is ex pected, as Sir F. Buxton has . consented again to become a candidate in the Liberal interest. LUDLOW. The opposition which has arisen here has suddenly and unexpectedly assumed a new phase. Sir W. Fraser, the sitting member, has retired, and Capt. Severne, who is locally connected, has offered him self as a candidate on Conservative principles to supply his place. Ile stated on Monday that Sir W. Yardley, late judge at Bombay, was in the field on Liberal principles, and this change will be to his advantage. MANCHESTER. The adjourned meeting of the Potter-Turner party on Tuesday evening received a report to the effect that the Mayor and Mr. Murray Gladstone had both declined the second invitation to become candidates for the borough. It was made a matter of complaint that the Whig element in the former meeting was wanting in this. On the motion of Mr. Sowler, Q.C., it was proposed that Admiral Denman (who was defeated at the last election) should be brought forward. It was explained that he was absent on foreign service and could not be communicated with, but the motion was carried. Mr. J. W. Maclure advised that the Conservatives also vote for Mr. Abel Heywood (the ultra-Liberal candidate), and place him at the head of the poll. The advice was loudly cheered. STAFFORD. Alderman Sidney has retired from the contest. The field is now fairly open to Alderman Pachan, between whom and Captain Miller, the Conservative candidate, the fight will have to be fought. TAUNTON. Mr. Arthur Mills, who has represented this borough during the last two Parliaments, has re tired. In his parting address, of ter thanking his friends for renewed promises of support, ho says : " There remained at the conclusion of my canvass nearly one-third of the constituency, who, though professing in many instances approval of my public conduct, still de clined to promise their votes or to declare their intentions. To what causes this hesitation may be due it is not for me to inquire, but as success appeared to be unattainable, except, perhaps, by means which I will not condescend to employ, I think it most respectful to yourselves, and most consistent with my own sense of duty, to retire at once from the contest." We believe there is littlo doubt that Lord William Hay and Mr. Barclay will be returned—a gain of two votes to the Liberal cause. CUMBERLAND (WEST). Captain Lowther, M.P., and the Hon. Percy Wyndham, M.P. (Conservatives), have issued their addresses to the electors of West Cumberland, the representation of which will not be contested at the ensuing election.

The Presse publishes the following interesting re marks upon the present state of the Anglo-Austrian Commercial Inquiry : The official Wiener Abendpost informs us that the International Inquiry Commission has suspended its labours in order probably to re-commence them at the beginning of September. We say " proba bly," because the re-appearance of the English members depends upon agreement to the proposals of reform put forward by Mr. William Hutt—an agreement not yet able to be arrived at. In the often-quoted report of Mr. Hutt the English demanded that the object of the commission should be transformed into establishing an ad valorem maximum duty for imports and exports, with the co-operation of the English, through responsible Government officials and by exports, after careful consideration of the industrial position of Austria, and that this general duty on value should be altered into specific duties on weight for the different goods by the adoption of a more proportionate tariff. The tariff thus prepared was then to be proposed by the Government to the Reichsrath as a general customs tariff, and advocated by it in that assem bly. The commercial treaty between England and Austria would then receive it unaltered in the shape of an appendix, and would at the same time include all further arrangements as to mutual traffic locali ties. The Imperial Government acceded to the wish of the English by appointing high governmental officials as ;epresenting the three departments con cerned—foreign affairs, finances, and commerce— to be members of the commission, but stated that in a technical point of view it was not in a position to express itself upon the reform proposed. As the Reichsrath hadnot yet given its vote upon the gene ral customs'.tariff, the Government could also do nothing but adjourn the commission, as it would have been in the highest degree undesirahle to treat a tariff as the constitution permits and at the same time to proceed to its radical alteration. It is, therefore, a matter of course that the English mem bers declared their readiness to wait until they re ceived the answer for which they had asked, but decided also, as their conditions were indivisible, that they could not participate until then in any further sittings. This brought about the conclud ing meeting, and as MM. Hatt and Beaumont have already left, the adjournment until further arrange ments has ipso facto taken place. " Examining now into the causes of the non success of this business, we find them to be manifold in character, and to be pretty equally upon both sides. What the English ask, and did ask, is clear and well weighed; it is based upon the principle adopted in their country of settling the tariff inde pendently and without differential duties, and offering it then as an object of treaty to all nations upon equal terms. Added to their co-operation they would bring with them their experiences, which undoubtedly were free trading, with regard to the final aim. The Austrian Government appears, on the other hand, as we have often said, not to have been clear in its commercial policy ; it put forward au autonomous tariff, differential duties, provisional state of affairs, commercial treaty—all confusedly mixed up together. The Inquiry Commission seems only to have provoked a vague idea that it was a matter which would last a good long time, and would, therefore, postpone the fulfilment of the unpleasant demands of the English, and still more of the French, to a remote period. It is otherwise not easily conceivable how so scanty an amount of knowledge should have been gained respecting such an institution, its limits, its connection with com mercial policy, and its final object, that fully four months have elapsed without any programme having been drawn up. " The same indistinctness was apparent in the choice of the Austrian members. Members of the Reichsrath were selected, in the hope that the future treaty of commerce would pass successfully through the Chambers. But it was left out of sight that the inquiry demanded great knowledge and much time, and that experts would therefore have been more suitable than Deputies, whose time is in other re:Teets so fully occupied. The English abandoned the non-official character of the commission at the commencement, and showed by the choice of govern ment persons that they had far more important objects in view than the mere collection of valuable material. Further, the settlement of the period, which they succeeded in carrying and their constant hurry, showed that they were neither acquainted with the previous progress of our conunercial policy nor did they possess experience of the difficult, be cause various circumstances of the Austrian State. But all this might easily have been removed if an internal difference as to the object of the commission had not existed from the very commencement in the views of the two Governments. The Austrian Government wanted at the beginning merely to establish a great industrial inquiry with the co-opera tion of the English, preparing thereby for itself a basis for future negotiations, affording the English at the same time a thorough insight into Aus- trian productive conditions, and thus rendering clear the possibility, but also, at the same time, the measure of its concessions. England, on the other hand, wanted to negotiate at once. In an inquiry she understood nothing but the radical re form of the tariff in a free-trading sense. The evi dence was neither to be so extensive nor detailed as in the case of an inquiry, but, at the same time, they desired to subject the other treaty points— such as right of traffic, &c.—to a very thorough exaipination. In all their treaties of modern times the English lay down a percentage of value as a maximum, and arrange them for an international committee agreeing upon the reduction of these value duties to specific duties. This business, which ordinarily follows the treaty, they wanted, in this instance, to settle first ; hence the choice of mem bers of the Government, which would otherwise have been superfluous, and hence the hopes of the projectors of this Commission to be able in three months to present themselves to their constituents in England with the completed treaty. Hence the disapproval, the discontent with the performances of the Commission, the withdrawal of the Austrians, the complaints of the English, and ultimately the total standstill of the affair. " The question now arises, What is to be done ? The object is clearly in sight from the Austrian point of view, by which alone we can be governed. In an article of the middle of May we expressed our wish that the inquiry about to ,be entered upon by the Reichsrath in connection with the debate upon the general customs tariff might, if possible, be combined with the international inquiry. It is reported that the Customs Committee has recently resolved not to accept the general customs tariff, and to request the Government to set on foot an extensive inquiry into the subjeot. The way is therefore clearly marked out. Let the Government now have the prelimi nary points and lists of questions fully settled by experts, whose attendance might easily be procured, as their time would only be occupied for a few days, and then distribute these lists in all directions. The examinations could then be taken uninterruptedly in autumn in presence of the English. The Govern ment would thus have gained the basis upon which to draw up a tariff with the enlightened assistance of such experienced members as the English dele gates, including all those ameliorations it so emi nently needs, and to settle the amount of the indi vidual duties according to the capability of compe tition among Austrian producers. The English would have all the less reason to be discontented with this, as they would be able themselves to judge the circumstances impartially and without prejudice, and because their practical good sense is far from desiring to carry over Austria, at one gigantic stride, into the free trade camp. The tariff would next be laid before the Reichsrath. The commer cial treaty with England, as well as further com mercial treaties, would have to contain this tariff, and no differential duties whatever, as the latter have become impracticable by the most favoured nation clause, and at most carry with them the danger of tariff reductions coming into favour as so-called equivalents for counter concessions, to which our trade, as compared with that of other nations, is not equal." RAILWAY AND OTHER COMPANIES. SOUTH-EASTERN. The committee of investigation (Messrs. J. Bibby, C. Haigh, and J. Chadwick) appointed by the pro prietors at a special meeting on the Bth of June last to inquire into certain allegations by Mr. J. J. llamilton, one of the shareholders of the company, with respect to the purchase and disposal of steam boats, the letting by tender, and subsequent re sumption of two contracts for the line from Lewis ham to Tunbridge, and also the continental traffic arrangement with the Chatham and Dover Com pany,have made their report, from which it appears that the statements in the company's books and of the directors with respect to these matters were fully verified. The committee state that the officers of the company have been most assiduous in rendering them every information respecting the several mat ters referred to the committee ; also, that the en tries in the books of the company relating thereto have been made with perfect regularity, and are consistent with the facts. In prosecuting this in quiry they had availed themselves of the assistance of Messrs. Deloitte, Greenwood, and Dever, the ac countants. The gross traffic receipts on this company's lines amounted for the four weeks ending the 17th of June to £101,591, from which was deducted £2,492 for collecting and delivering goods, &c., leaving £99,099. To this was added £2,671 for rents and sundries, and £5,179 for steam-packet service—. total, £106,949. From this was deducted the ex penditure, £53,421, including rates, taxes, tolls, Government duty, and expenses of steam-packet service, leaving a net sum of £53,528. The total receipts for the 19 weeks and four days ending as above amounted to £435,868, and the expenditure to £243,587, leaving a net sum of £192,281 available for interest and dividends. EASTERN BENGAL. A special general meeting of this company was held on Monday at the London Tavern, to consider a proposal from the Secretary of State for India that the company should, under a guarantee of £5 per cent. interest on the additional capital required, extend their railway from a point near its present terminus at Kooshtee to Goalundo, or to such other point near the rivers Ganges and Burhampooter as the directors with the Government might determine; Mr. J. F. Leith in the chair. The CHAIRMAN explained that the proposed ex tension would be 45 miles in length, and that the Government engineer's estimate was £450,000, but as it did not include the cost of the transport of materials from England, Sir C. Wood had agreed that a capital of £500,000 in the first instance should be raised for that purpose. The country through which the new line would pass formed a mass of populous villages, and was also a manufacturing district. The extension would not only have a large local traffic, but would be a considerable feeder to the main line. There was one important stipulation which made the new undertaking part and parcel of the Eastern Bengal Railway, so that they could not during its construction participate in any surplus profits over 5 per cent. that might arise on the existing line. He concluded by moving a formal resolution accepting the proposal of the Secretary of State for In dia,which was seconded. A long discussion ensued, in the course of which Mr. Franklin proposed an amendment to the effect that the proposal of the Secretary of State for India be accepted for the extension to Goalundo, on con dition that the directors express the unanimous opinion of the meeting that it was just and politic to allow the existing shareholders to participate in any surplus profits above 5 per cent. that might arise on the existing line. Mr. EDWARDS seconded the amendment, and it was carried. The directors were authorised to increase the capital of the company from £1,000,000 to £1,500,000 by the issue of 25,000 shares of £2O each, and that such shares be offered to the existing proprietors in the proportion of one new share for every £4O stock held by shareholders on the registry of the company. WES T FLANDERS. A special general meeting of this company was I►eld on Tuesday at the office, Moorgate-street ; Mr. R. T. Frere in the chair. The report, an abstract of which appeared in The Sun, was taken as read. The CHAII:NtAN said it was considered that the best mode of raising the money for the construction of the new lines and other matters was by the issue of bonds of the 'West Flanders Railway Company. The 30,000 bonds of £2O each they proposed to issue would not only cover the cost of the new lines, but provide the extra rolling stock, interest during construction, and a sum of £17,000 for the completion of works on the old lines. The interest and sinking fund were to be provided for by the Societe d'Exploitation, and handed over each half year to the West Flanders Company. Of course a second issue of bonds would be raised on less favour able terms than a first issue, but at the same time it was an advantage to know the full amount they should be called upon to pay. The estimated amount of capital required for the 29 miles of new lines, the rolling stock, the interest on capital during con struction, and the completion of the old lines was £306,468. The 30,000 bonds would bear interest of 3 per cent. per annum, of which 2,500 were reserved for the English shareholders. On handing over those bonds to the Societe d'Exploitation the latter would undertake all further responsibility. Resolutions were passed adopting the report, ap proving the proposed alterations in the statutes, sanctioning the raising of the new capital and the provision for a reserve fund. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. INDIAN CARRYING (LIMITED), The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Monday at the offices, Broad-street-buildings ; Sir Macdonald Stephenson in the chair. The report, an abstract of which has appeared in The Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said that the two subjects in it which ap peared to require special notice were the comparative degrees of success in the different Presidencies, and the probable early requirement of additional capital to meet the increasing demands of the traffic. As re garded the first question it had been correctly stated the working in Bombay had been prejudicially af fected by extraneous causes, which were exceptional, had been removed, and there was no fear of their re currence, while the progress in Bengal and the North-West Provinces had been so great as to have more than doubled the returns in one year. The transfer of the Government bul lock train to the company would materially increase the business, which would be conducted with greater facility when the Allahabad bridge over the Jumna was opened next month, as the ex isting break at that point in the East Indian Rail way line had occasioned frequent delays in the transmission of goods forwarded by the Carrying Company. The second point referred to was the additional capital which the Board requested powers to raise when necessary, and it would be readily understood that the great superiority enjoyed by the Carrying Company over the native carriers consisted mainly in their larger available capital, by which they were enabled to carry on their work on more favourable terms, and with greater certainty and despatch. A larger floating capital would also be indispensable for the payments to the railways and for advances of various kinds, which could not be realised until after delivery of the goods. The directors were satisfied with the progress made, be cause it was likely to be permanently progressive, and the shareholders might rely upon their continued earnest attention to the company's interests. Mr. J. WALKER seconded the motion. Some discussion ensued respecting the expediency of raising more capital, in the course of which it was stated that the business of the company was growing rapidly, that it already existed over 3,000 miles of road, and it would be impossible to meet the requirements of the increasing business without an increase of capital. The surplus profits had occa sionally been used in enlarging the business. The report was unanimously adopted, and a divi dend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum (free of income tax) was declared for the hall-year ending December 31, 1864, payable on the 20th inst. The meeting was then made special, and on the motion of the CHAIRMAN, seconded by Dr. ROSE, it was unanimously resolved that the capital of the compiny be increased by the creation of 25,000 new shares of £2 each, and that such shares be issued on such terms as the directors might think fit. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. VICTORIA STATION AND PIMLICO. The report of the directors states that the London, Chatham, and Dover Company had not 'yet re quired possession of the house, No. 1, St. George's road, and the settlement of the purchase was there fore still incomplete. The £7OO due by Mr. Kelk on balance of account had been paid. The dividend for the past halifiear would be at the rate of 6} per cent. per annum, and would be paid a month earlier than usual. At the meeting in February last Mr. Kelk gave notice of his intention to move at the en suing meeting that a sum of money should be voted to the directors and solicitor, in consideration of their services in raising the company to its present satisfactory and secure position ; but, at the instance of the directors, Mr. Kelk had withdrawn his motion. The construction account showed a total expenditure of £486,634, leaving £8,749 in hand. RAILWAY BILLS. On Monday theNorth-Eastern and Clevelandßill was passed in Lord Redesdale's Committee. In the Lords' Committees, the West Hartlepool and Cleveland and North-Eastern (amalgamation) Bill was continued. In the case of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Bill, the manager of the North-Western (for the opponents) underwent a long examination. The opposition of the South- Eastern Railway Company to the Surrey and Sussex Bill was heard. In the Commons, group 26, the Launceston, Bod min, and Wadebridge Bill was opposed by the Cornwall Company. On Tuesday, in the Lords, the Manchester, Shef field, and Lincolnshire, the Newport and Usk, and the Surrey and Sussex Bills were passed ; and in the Commons, group 26, the Launceston, Bodmin, and Wadebridge Junction Bill was passed. Murder of a Missionary in New Zealand, -9. - We have full details by the present mail of the shocking murder of a missionary, the Rev. Mr. Volkner, by the natives. The occurrence seems to have created a very painful feeling in the colony, and is taken as an indication that the Pai Marin fanati cism is spreading fast and assuming a more serious aspect. A correspondent of the New Zealander, writing from Camp Te Papa, on March 8, gives the following particulars, which are corroborated by other accounts : " It is very questionable whether I shall succeed in any attempt to describe to your readers one of the most horrible and atrocious murders which has ever been recorded in the annals of the colony, and though now excited feelings have somewhat subsided within these 48 hours, still even now I shudder in attempting to depict the awful tragedy that has been enacted by a band of the Pai Marini fanatics, led on in their mad exploits by a savage brutish high priest, Tiu Kereopo, belonging to the Arawa tribe at Rotorua. I will not attempt to dwell on any of the antecedent stories connected with this, and with Pai Marini savages, but will leave it for another occasion, inasmuch as your readers will be all anxiety to know the particulars of the murder of that good, faithful, and holy servant of the Gospel, the Rev. Mr. Volkner, resident missionary belonging to the Church of England at Ogotiki, who was cruelly and barbarously murdered at that place on the 2d inst. It appears that on the arrival of the Pai Marini priest in the Bay of Plenty he openly declared that he would not respect the lives or property of the missionaries, and on reaching Whakatani, the Rev. Father Grange, R.C., narrowly escaped being murdered by him ; after their leaving W hakatani and reaching Opotiki they became so elated with the success and hearty reception by the Ngatewhaka to hear of their new faith, that the life of Mr. Volkner was demanded by the high priest. He was informed that Mr. Volkner was from home, upon which he caused an entry to be made into his premises, and everything sold by auction. This had scarcely been carried out when the Eclipse schooner hove in sight from Auckland, and it was not long before it was ascer tained that there were European passengers on board, which caused speculation as to who they were, but this was soon set at rest ; the tide being favourable, she crossed the bar and entered the river, when it was soon spread abroad that the pas sengers were the Revs. Messrs. Volkner and Grace. On this being made known to the high priest he did not for one moment attempt to ascertain the feel ings of the natives, who previous to this had on all occasions manifested the highest respect for their clergymen—but, alas ! what a sudden change had within the last few days taken place in the feelings of these people, who had now become infatuated with the power and supreme influence of this vile wretched imposter, and when he ordered these men to go on board the vessel and fetch these men of God on shore, they immediately obeyed. In the meanwhile the priest had obtained a black rope, which he took to a tree on the mission station, and having hung it up all ready, he waited till his victims arrived, and it was not long before they were marched up to him. He then told the. Rev. Mr. Volkner that he had forfeited his life, and that he must die, and for that purpose he had been brought up to that spot, in order to meet his fate. Mr. Volkner then cried for his tamarakis, that is, children, to intercede for him ; but, alas, not one voice was raised in his favour. Seeing that they were determined to carry their designs out, he quietly resigned himself to his fate, and only asked one favour, which was granted to Lim, and which was that he might be allowed a few minutes to pray. After fervently and devoutly pouring out his whole soul before the throne of divine grace, he rose, took off his coat and vest, in which was his watch and £l5 cash, and said, "I am now ready. His hands and feet were then bound, and the rope having been placed on his neck, he was hoisted up in the air for some considerable time, when he was let down, but life was not extinct. However, the high priest ordered them to separate the head from the body, which was no sooner said than done by the use of the axe, after which an incision was made by a small knife, in order more carefully to obtain the brains, which were ordered to be cooked, which only occupying a few minutes, the high priest came forward, and tak ing a small portion in his fingers, prayed over them, and threw it out to his god ; he then ordered all present to step forward and partake of the remainder, which without hesitation was soon devoured by all the bystanders—men, women, and children. His eyes were then gouged out and swallowed by the high priest ; after this, the body of this devoted Christian minister was opened, and his heart taken out and was served in the same savage manner. His body was left on the ground, as prey for the dogs and pigs, but an insane native became so disgusted with the sight that he took it away and buried it." The New Zealand Herald of 11th March gives the following additional particulars : " It appears that on the seizure of the Eclipse, the two clergymen, Messrs. Volkner and Grace, the master, and crew, consisting of four Europeans, were taken prisoners and placed along with a sol dier who was already a prisoner in the hands of the natives. The captain (Mr. Levy) they at once released, on account, we are informed, of his be longing to the Jewish religion. The other prisoners were then marched towards Mr. Volkner's residence at Opotiki. When arrived near a willow tree grow ing close by the house, and around which a large number of the inhabitants of Opotiki were assembled, they were halted within sight of it, and Mr. Volkner alone was led by a few of the party towards the tree. They pointed to a rope hanging over a branch, and told him they intended to hang him, and requested him to take off his coat. This he did, believing the whole affair to be a practical joke. They however ordered him to take off his waistcoat and his neck cloth, which he also did, and, believing now that their intention was murder, he begged for ten minutes to prepare himself for death. This request was granted; yet while he was still upon his knees praying, the noose was slipped round his neck, the end of the rope drawn tight, and the man who in all sincerity and truth had ministered the gospel to them for years—this man—their friend, their pastor, their benefactor—was run up to the limb of the tree as though he had been but a mere ani mal. But now come the brutal and disgusting details of this horrible affair. The rope was lowered, though life was not extinct, and as the body came down a Maori ripped open the bowels of the unfor tunate man, tore them out, and threw them to the Maori dogs which had gathered around ; his heart also was torn out and passed round the assembled natives, as many as could cutting small pieces from it and devouring them. His head was severed from the body, and carried round by the tohunga or priest, the natives standing with upturned faces and gaping lips while it was held over them, that the blood might drip into their mouths. The head was then handed to a soldier, who was made to place it upon a spear and carry his horrible burden. They then informed Mr. Grace that they would take him, and the other Europeans with them as trophies through the country, and that when they should have arrived at his residence they would inflict the same fate upon him as he had just seen visited on Mr. Volkner. The soldier and the crew were in formed that their lot would be simply to be knocked upon the head when they were no longer required. The other prisoners in the hands of the natives escaped. Mr. Levy, to whom reference is made in the above accounts, has published in the newspapers a diary detailing the whole of the events connected with the event. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—In an address marked by feeling and , good taste the Lord Chancellor has personally an nounced his resignation to the House of Lords. From the respect and sympathy with which he was listened to his lordship may learn how little there is of private or political animosity in the minds of those who have been recently compelled to give expression to opinions adverse to him. There is certainly in this country no desire to pull down those who have risen to eminence. No people are more free from envy than our own, and if there be a character whose advancement is looked upon without a shade of ill feeling it is the able and hard-working lawyer, who, after good service in the House of Commons, re ceives the high rewards of his profession. Among those who listened to Lord Westbury yesterday, or who took part in the debate of Monday, there are, we are sure, few who do not feel deep regret that such a blow hould have fallen on such a man. It is needless, however, to speak further of this matter. Only the strongest conviction that the honour of the country must be vindicated would have made such an assembly as the House of Commons censure a Lord Chancellor. The unhappy events which have led to the Chancellor's resignation cannot be re called ; they cannot be deprived of their unfavour able character. All that Lord Westbury can ask of his countrymen is that they shall now as far as pos sible forget them, so, at least, to judge his future career without prejudice derived from an unfortu nate past. This oblivion the public will be glad to extend to the transactions of the last few months. Indeed, the advice of Lord Westbury's colleagues has been to some extent the cause that the charges against him have made so deep and painful an im pression. Lord Westbury explained at length the reasons which induced him to hold office up to the present time, and after a committee of either house, as well as the voice of the country, had accused hii2a. This explanation is quite intel ligible, nor can we say that there may not be valid reasons why a man in high position should at times disregard the popular voice. But in this case we think the Chancellor was ill advised. He tells the house, as Lord Palmerston told the Commons on Tuesday, that when the first charges were made against him he desired to resign. "My lords," he says, " I believe that the holder of the Great Seal ought never to be in the position of an accused per son, and, such unfortunately being the case, for my own part I felt it due to the great office that I hold that I should retire from it, and meet any accusa tion in the character of a private person." But, in deference to the opinions of his colleagues, who thought that a too ready resignation might lead to the encouragement of charges against public men, the Lord Chancellor retained office. This principle, however, which might be sound as regards the early phases of the inquiry, could hardly apply to a period when the opinion of one of the houses of Parliament had been given. The Chancellor, we think, would have done well if he had resigned after the rescind ing of Mr. Edmunds' pension, and certainly he ought not to have held office a day after the report of the committee on the Leeds Bankruptcy Court. As long as a man retains office he speaks at a dis advantage. The eminence on which he stands makes him a mark for his opponents, while it lessens his own power of repelling them. If the Chancellor had insisted on resigning even a week ago he would stand in a better position than at present. The act of resignation itself disarms resentment, and from the moment it is performed something like a reac tion in the parliamentary and popular mind sets in. It is strange that a man so acute and experienced as Lord Westbury should not have seen that the advice of his colleagues was more in accordance with the supposed convenience of the Ministry than with his own interests and honour. But these mere details will be soon forgotten. What will remain in the re collection of the country will be that a very eminent Chancellor resigned in consequence of faults in his administration. It is in the power of Lord Westbury by degrees to weaken the remembrance which his countrymen have of this affair, and finally to wipe it out altogether, and place in its stead the image of an able lawyer and politician present in Parliament and daily rendering services to the country. The account which Lord Westbury was able to give of his judicial labours shows how much the public lose by his retirement ; and there is no one acquainted, in any degree, with the Chancellor's duties who will not admit that they have been ably and vigorously performed. As a Law Reformer Lord Westbury has had few equals. Both as Attorney-General and as Lord Chancellor he has devoted himself to the simplifying of our tangled jurisprudence, and he is even now engaged in one of the most useful works which a lawyer can undertake, the digest of the whole body of the law. These labours Lord Westbury may usefully continue in the more private but still exalted position which he will now occupy. Resignation to a Chancellor is less of a change than to an ordinary statesman. He remains a Judge of the two supreme Courts of the country, and one of a small and select body which virtually supervises all the proceedings of Parliament in legal matters. Lord Westbury has still a field for the display of his abilities, and we venture to say that if he apply himself to the duties which still remain to him it will not be long before the remembrance of the late scandals will be lost in the sense of the benefits whicli he has conferred on the public. POST. —During the session which closed on Tues day the. Corps Legislatif has been conspicuous among the representative assemblies of Europe for the freedom and the animation of its debates, as well as for the importance of the subjects that have come before it for discussion. The policy of the Imperial Government has been explained and vin dicated with remarkable ability. Under the leader ship of the orators of a past regime , the Opposition has become useful and ornamental. The discus sions' have, upon the whole, been conducted with due regard to Parliamentary order, and in language which has equally displayed talent and a proper sense of dignity and decorum. M. Rouher has laboured under the disadvantage which a great English statesman once deplored. The strength of the Government operates against rhetorical success. But on one or two occasions when M. Thiers, with his habitual indiscretion, made a fair opening for recrimination, the Minister of State proved that he was competent to engage in a more even contest. The controversial aptitude of the Opposition has contributed to the political instruction of the nation. M. Thiers and M. Jules Favre have been the means of informing the public mind and enlightening the popular understanding. France would reason ably object to place the management of her finances in the hands of M. Thiers, and be still more indis posed to trust M. Fevre with the control of her foreign affairs ; but criticism, however superficial, is serviceable in its way. It is a matter of universal regret that M. Berryer has been prevented from taking a prominent part in the debates. Men of all opinions render homage to the marvellous eloquence and the sterling qualities of one who represented the ideas and the loyalty of an epoch that belongs to history. The French people have every reason to be satisfied with their progress at home and the position they occupy before the world, and the con victions on which they have acted cannot fail to be confirmed by the proceedings of the Corps Legisla tif in the now concluded session. The Opposition did not deny the national prosperity, but contended in effect that it rested on an insecure basis. It is remarkable, however, that those who hazarded these statements hesitated to endorse them by their votes. It doesnot seem to have ,occurred to M. Thicrs that the people who read his speeches may also take the trouble to examine the division-list. Nor do the members of the Opposition appear to have consi dered that to make political capital out of a finan cial argument it is necessary that it should have for its groundwork a more or less oppressive taxation. The nation at large must be able to form a tolerably accurate opinion as to whether it is living beyond its means. It depends on the conditions whether bricks and mortar forma good or bad investment for money. Of course it would be reckless waste to construct boulevards, railroads, and canals in the absence of commerce and industry; and, on the other hand, it would be miserable economy to limit the enter prise of a country by declining to draw upon its capabilities. Living from hand to mouth, people are prone to be deluded by political schemers ; but when they have a material interest in maintaining existing institutions it is otherwise. However, with out searching for the motives of the Opposition, it must be observed that if private undertakings were to be carried out on the surplus income of the pro moters, they would in many instances have to be wound up before the work contemplated was even commenced, and the remark applies equally to pub lic improvements. Given that anything is desirable, and the question as to the expediency of providing it must be answered with reference to the actual wealth and the future prospect of the community to be benefited. Now, France has hadl2 years' experi ence of the Imperial Government.. In that period thenation has advanced with unprecedented rapidity from anarchy to order, and from unrest and appre hension to security and confidence. This modifica tion was indeed so extraordinary as to raise doubts of its durability. The elasticity and resources of the country were scarcely appreciated, and by many it was thought to be an impulsive effort or an outburst of unsteady enthusiasm. It must be owned that, looking at antecedents and taking a superficial view of the situation, the misgiving was not unreasonable. The error in the calculation proceeded mainly upon the assumption that the French were fickle and given to change, whereas really the Governments they discarded had not complied with the legitimate re quirements of progress. Although it may be incom patible with certain exalted theories, the fact that, to render political reform permanent, it must be pre ceded by social and industrial amendment, is alto gether indisputable ; France simply obeyed the law of nature in electing to be governed practically for the common weal, and having attained her object she is now as steadfast as she was before unstable. As to foreign policy, it is extremely difficult to un derstand the language which has,been held by the Opposition in the course of the session. It would be absurd to impute ignorance of the subject to M. Thiers, but it is entirely evident that he fails to comprehend the meaning of recent events. The in tervention in Italy, the convention of September, the Mexican expedition, and also the inaction in ' regard to Poland and Denmark, represent a policy which, if it were intelligible to M. Thiers, could hardly. be reconciled with the prejudices he enter tains. But pdliticians of even less rank, who take an impartial view of the circumstances, cannot be insensible to the military and diplomatic advantages which France has gained under the Government of the Emperor. If all that was undertaken has not been accomplished, there has been no abandonment of the ideas that were enunciated. The unity of Italy is assured, the arrangements with respect to the Papacy are placed upon a f9oting that admits of no doubt as to their realisation, and the settle.. ment of Mexico is not likely to 'be much longer impeded. M. Thiers may turn over these pages in the history of the Second Empire without perceiving that they contain evidence of the vitality of the Power that crowded such great and splendid achievements into so short a space of time, but France and Europe have clearly expressed their sense of a policy that revealed its noble and prescient inspiration. Nor can we omit to acknowledge that during this session of the Corps Legislatif the Emperor of the French has again signally mani fested feelings of friendship towards our own country which were heartily reciprocated. But, in dependent of interest and sympathy, we are firmly persuaded that a Government which, established by the will of the people, fulfils the obligations it con tracted, stands upon a foundation which is morally impregnable.

'WELL-CONDUCTED LIGHTNING.—At a store in Rockville, Connecticut, on the 10th ult., lightning entered at the door in a vivid flash, which actually lit an oil lamp and left it burning, without leaving any other visible marks of its passage.--4merican paper. THE PRESIDENT'S VISITORS.—The Washington despatch of the 14th of June to the Associated Press mentions that between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. on that day there were at no time less than a hundred persons in waiting at thy Executive Mansion to see the President, a third of them ladies. Mrs. Perrine, who has been sen tenced by a military commission to three month s ' impri sonment for giving aid and comfort to the enemy, has had an interview with the President, and petitioned for his clemency. She urged that it could not be necessary for the preservation of the country that she should be incar cerated for kissing her cousin, even though he were a rebel officer ; and besides, that it was not she who kissed him, but a lady in her company who committed the offence. Mrs. Perrine is exceedingly vivacious, and a clever mimic , and the President was in a continual roar of laughter dur ing her representation of her case. There is scarcely a doubt that he will pardon her.—New York Times. APPALLING Loss OF AN EMIGRANT SHIP BY FIRE. —Telegrams wde received in the City yesterday afternoon from Brest reporting a fearing catastrophe to an emigrant ship from Antwerp for New York, by fire, and that it was feared that no fewer than 400 poor creatures had perished.

There were nearly 500 persons on board when she sailed, and from the accounts received only 44 have been as yet picked up alive. The messages give the following :—" Brest, July s—The Transatlantic Mail Company's steamer La fayette, which arived here this morning from New York, has on board 44 saved from three boats belonging to the ship William Nelson, from Antwerp for New York, burned with 450 emigrants."
