TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF GRAVESIM. Gentlemen, — With the approval of the Committee of the Liberal party in your new borough, I offer myself as a candidate for the honour of becoming your representative in the next Par liamout. A considerable portion of my life has been paused in the service of the . State in India, whiire for several years I have been at the head of the GoVFrnment of Oudh ; but during my absence from this country I have ever watched closely the course of political events, and have had deeply at heart the triumph of Liberal principles. I rejoice in the extension of the, suffrage effected by the recent Act; for I hold that the safety of our institutions lies in 'admitting the people to a large share of political power. • But I consider the meal re of redistribution of seats quite inadequate, and I trust that the attention of the Reformed Parliament will be early given to remove the glaring anomalies of the present scheme. Viewing with aversion the employment of any Lind of intimidation or moral pressure with the object of influ encing a man's vote, I will support the Ballot as an effec tive protection to the elector in 40 free exercise of his tight. • For the suppression of bribery I have faith in the im proved tone of public opinion on this subject ; but I would also like to see the giving alai receiving bribes made criminal offences, with the heaviest penalties to fall on the giver. Foremost among the measures that will have my hearty support are the abolition of chnrch rates and of flogging in the army, the equalisation of paor rates, the settlement of the Irish Church question, the ppening of the Universities to members-of all religious denominations, and a compre hensive system of national unsettarian education. Iu foreign policy I am for nonintervention, though my sympathies as a Liberal are with the friends of constitu tional freedom in every land. I naturally take deep interest-in the affairs of India, and much of,my attention would be given to them. My view of our duty to the people of that ,:.naztry is to fit them for self-government by diffusing education and by freely ad mitting them to offices of trust and emolument; for I hold that a foreign rule can never be popular which excludes the natives of a country from all share in its admi nistration. I should recognise as leader of the Liberal party that great statesman and sincere friend of the people, Mr. Glad stone, to whom the satisfactory result of the recent mea sure of Reform is mainly due, since nearly all his demands were complied with by the Government. Should I be honoured with your choice, I hope that the habits of application to business which I have acquired in the course of my career in India may render me not incom petent to discharge to your satisfaction all tho duties that solicitude in your local interests may impose on me. I hope for an early opportunity of meeting you, when I will bo ready to give any explanation that may be re quired of my views on the above and other subjects. I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, CHARLES WINGFIELD. 10, Groat Cumberland-street. All communications to be addressed to T. Gilbert., jun., 47, Charing-cross.

The Fenian Outrage. ......--..-.--..--- MANCHESTER, Saturday. Investigations, judicial and extra-judicial, are continuing to elicit very grave and startling proofs that the recent outrage near this city was the act of a wide-spread and highly organised conspiracy. An instance of the mischievous activity of the Fenian plotters against the peace of England, in England, was afforded last Thursday, and may now without risk of embarrassing the precaßtionary plans of the authorities, be mentioned in this place. Cer tain trustworthy information had been given to the heads of the police that bands of men, under pre tence of seeking agricultural work, were gathering round a city in which Government arms are stored. The chief of the London detective branch of police, at Scotland-yard, Inspector Williamson, is in Man chester, with another experienced officer from head quarters, Sergeant Clark ; and the two were ad vised by telegraph of all the circumstances in good time, as now appears from facts that have been dis covered. The plaaa-rouisfi which great nambers - ot Irishmen, hugely in excess of any present demand for field labour, and suspiciously well provided with reaping implements, had congregated, is in an ad joining county, and is distant from Manchester about 40 miles. The two London officers, who are looking after Fenian affairs principally in this city, took rail for the place which I have not precisely in dicated, though there would be no fear of harm in naming it, and were back again before their absence had been noted here. The visit, brief as it was, sufficed to counterplot a desperate enterprise, and to avert bloodshed in the midst of a very peaceable and rather dull community. The examination of prisoners before the bench of the Manchester Police-court drags tediously along, every possible obstacle to its progress being interposed by the learned gentlemen de fending the accused prisoners. The notable device for stopping the whole proceedings until Tuesday or Wednesday next was this morning broached by Mr. Roberts, within somewhat peculiar circum stances. The terms of the application which that gentleman made for an adjournment will be found in the subjoined report ; but some brief account showing how this incidental matter of discussion arose may be both useful and interesting. In an early stage of the day's business Mr. Cottingham was making much of a grievance relating to the production of witnesses for the defence, when Mr. Higgin, the counsel for the prosecution, said, half jestingly and with natural signs of impatience, " Well, there's an Act of Parliament which comes into operation in a few days from this time, and which will enable you to compel the attendance of witnesses. If you'd like to have the case adjourned I shan't offer any opposition." Mr. Cottingham took the hint, and hastily communicated to the attorney who instructs him, Mr. Roberts, the sub stance of Mr. Higgin's remark. Thereupon, and positively on no more Maturely considered ground, Mr. Roberts based a grave and emotional appeal to the bench. It appeared, after all, that only one or two of the prisoners could have been affected by the magistrate's decision of the point one way or the other; so that the hastily concocted scheme which Messrs. Roberts and Cottingham had borrowed from Mr. Higgin had hardly a chance of success. After the despatch of yesterday's parcel several witnesses for the prosecution were examined. George Moorhouse, a warehouseman, identified Allen, Larkin, Gould, and William Martin, as having been present at the affray in the Hyde-road, and Thomas Barlow proved having captured Allen and witnessed the capture of Gould. Mr. Higgin stated that as the evidence against WWilliams was only very slight, he should not proceed further against him. M`Williams was consequently discharged, and the examination was adjourned. This morning the prisoners, twenty-seven in number, were brought up under military guard. Mr. Robinson Fowler was, as before, the presiding magistrate, and was accompanied on the bench by the city justices and several of the officers of the 57thReg the prosecution ; Mr. Regiment. Mr. Higgin, deputy-recorder, Hussarsconducted Cottingham, barrister, and Messrs. Roberts, Ben net, and Ward, attorneys, for the defence of the prisoners. The position of the prisoners was changed, in accordance with a suggestion made on their behalf, it having been declared that some of them had reason to think the witnesses knew exactly where to look for them. Mr. Roberts, on behalf of those whom he represented, asked for an adjournment until the Ist October, when an Act of Parliament giving power to enforce the attendance of witnesses, and making provision for the payment in certain cases of the expenses of the witnesses necessary for the defence of accused persons, will come into oper ation. He said there were at least twenty persons who had given him information, which he believed to be truthful, as to the absence of some of the pri soners from the scene of the outrage ; but they said it would be ruin to them if they were to appear in any way that would subject them to a charge of com plicity with Fenianisin. Mr. Cottingham supported Mr. Roberts's appli catiout remarkiug that if a committal for trial Wok place before the Act came into operation, there would be no means of getting certain witm , ,sses. Mr. Fowler—You can subpoena them. Mr. Cottingham said he was instructed that there were witnesses in the employ of the corporation., vho would not attend unless compelled by process of law. Mr. lliggi❑—You can get summonses from this court. Mr. Cottingham said the court had no power ; it would be necessary to go to the Secretary of State. Mr. Fowler—ln whose case is this ? Mr. Bennet (the solicitor instructing Mr. Cot tingham) : In the case of Kennedy. The name of one witness is Neary, and he is employed by a man named Rafferty, who is engaged under the corpo ration. Mr. Cottingham asked why the prisoners should not have the advantage of the new Act of Parlia ment with regard to the expenses of witnesses? rfaoi A ettsman l o r. te snnt cis F temae shroeoeewf to discretionwl io e nwe i: eimime said ahek t i hn h wego a hft required,es u wa hnt shoeuch s a but l eodf t m ghthl h a oa etuedtgel powers yhsr should oa magistrates. h utvh i la c dai hlt Thei e t thex h eiwe e mrro A tAcsauie c ilscl nd t eft l wfgw e r give him, and should certainly not saddle the country with the expenses of every witness who might choose to present himself on behalf of a pri soner. If there were any witnesses whose evidence it was thought right to have, but who had not come forward, he would consider the best means to pur sue with regard to them. Mr. Higgin, in reply to a question put by Mr. Fowler as to the course he intended to adopt with regard to the evidence he had yet to bring forward, said he had a great many witnesses who could speak to the identity of men who had already been identi fied, and if the court was satisfied that a prima facie case had been made out with regard to the prisoners who had been thus identified, he would relieve the court from the task of taking the re petitionary evidence. Allen had already been identified by twelve witnesses, Larkin by eight, Gould by seven, Thomas Maguire by seven, F. Nugent by three, Bacon by two, and Boylan and Kennedy by two. There was no further evidence to offer with respect to Boylan, and the identity of Kennedy was doubtful so far as one witness was concerned ; but there was another witness to be called in reference to him. Win. Martin had been spoken to by four witnesses, and there were five more to be examined as to his share in the outrage. John Martin had been identified by only one wit- ' ness ; but there were three others to examine. Shore had been spoken to by two witnesses, and others would be called ; Brennan by one only, but there was another to be examined ; Carroll by one doubtfully, but there were two others to call; Foley by one ; Ryan by one ; Kelly of Galway by one ; Moorhouse by two ; Sherry by one ; and Bryan, Corcoran, Daley, Michael Maguire, and Morris had not yet been identified. It was probable that Morris would not be identified. Mr. Fowler said it was most desirable that the prisoners should know all the evidence that was to be adduced against them hereafter, but at the same time if it were found necessary to call further evidence before another tribunal that course could be taken. Mr. Higgin said if any additional evidence were forthcoming, copies of it should be furnished to the prisoners' attorneys. Mr. Fowler said he thought a prima facie case had been made out against Allen, Gould, Larkin, Thos. Maguire, William Martin, and Nugent. He should not, however, be inclined to commit those men for trial who were only spoken to by one witness. Mr. Iliggin—l shall not ask you to do so. Mr. Fowler—Then you ha 4 better proceed to exbaust_tbe_ identity of those men who have only been spoken to by one witness at present. Mr. Cottingham said if any evidence that might be given against the prisoners were withheld, the responsibility would rest with the Court. Mr. Roberts said ho had never before known a prosecution conducted on the principle of taking part of the evidence before the magistrates and the other part afterwards. It was, in fact, saying to the prisoners that sufficient evidence would be given to send them for trial, but they should not know until it might be too late what other evidence was to be given against them. He protested against this as the introduction of a new principle. He asked the magistrate to pause, and to remember that they were sitting in Manchester and not in Dorsetshire. He asked them, for God Almighty's sake, to pause, and to let Allen and the others know now what would be the testimony against them at the special commission by which it was said they were to be tried. Ile hoped that Mr. Fowler would not sully his name by sanctioning a practice which would let in any amount of injustice that could be perpetrated in the name of the law. Mr. Higgin—After the observations which have been made by Mr. Cottingham and Mr. Roberts, I do not feel that I should be doing my duty if I pur sued any course whatever which could, under any circumstances, lend the slightest degree of truth or probability to the suggestions which have been made. I therefore withdraw my application. If, in the exercise of my duty, I have to repeat evi dence over and over again, I am quite sure that if any fault is cast upon anybody, it will not be cast upon me. Thr examination of witnesses was then resumed. Emma Halliday was then sworn. She said—l was in the police van on the 18th inst. I was not locked up in one of the compartments. I was in the alley with five others. Sergeant Brett was there. I remember the van being stopped. I heard a sound like a large stone being thrown at the side of the van, and then I heard a pistol fired, as though at the horses' heads. Then some one came to the back of the van. The swivel door was open at the time, and Brett closed it. I then heard some one knocking at the door. Brett looked through the ventilator and said, " Oh, my God ! it's these Fenians !" The women began to scream, and said they should all be killed. A man outside asked Brett to give him the keys. The swivel door was still shut, and Brett was doing his best to keep it so. He said he should not give up the keys. I could not see the man who was outside. The man then again asked for the keys, and promised that if he would give them up they would do him no harm, but would only let two of the men in the van go. Brett said, " No ; he would stick to his post to the last." Then some one got on to the top of the van and beat a large hole in the roof with a great stone. rwo of the women took hold of Brett and tried to pull him out of the way of the stone. They told him he would be killed. A stone was then forced into the swivel door, and Brett could not close it again. Then a man came and put. a pistol through the trap. Brett was looking through the upper part of the ventilator and did not see the pistol. I saw it, and got hold of Brett, saying, " Oh, Charley, come away ; look there." I took hold of his coat and tried to pull him away. As I did this his head came on a level with the swivel, and the pistol was fired. Brett fell, in a stooping position, against the door. I saw the man who fired the pistol. I have seen him since at the City Gaol. (All the prisoners were ordered to stand up.) The man who fired the pistol was the one in the light coat and the blue necktie (the prisoner Allen). When Brett had been shot Allen came to the door and asked for the keys. We said we dare not give them to him. He threatened to blow our brains out if we did not give them to him. A woman then took the keys from Brett's pocket and gave them to some man outside. I don't know whom, as there were two on the step. The door was opened, and the women in the van went out. Brett fell out. When I got out I ran through the crowd to the gaol. In cross-examination, witness said this was not the first time she had been sent to:prison. Had been twice sentenced for felony. Mr. Cottinghtun—Were you ever on the streets Witness (iu an excited manner) ; No, never. PRICE.... 4d. STAMPED sd. ➢lr. Fowler—Are you instructed to ask that, Mr. Cottinghatn ? Mr. Cottingham—l am instructed from the dock. Of course, when she admits two convictions for felony, I may test her character for morality. Mr. Fuw•ler--I have heard the judges comment severely upon it. It is a matter for your discretion, not for use. Mr. Cottingham—lf she had been for the defence she would have been tested in the same way. Mr. Fowler—l hope not; most certainly not from the bench. Cross-examination resumed—l was not on fami liar terms with Brett. lie was called Charley" by all the prisoners, and there was not a prisoner in Manchester but respected him. I have been at the City Gaol since this occurred. I came from the gaol to-day. I was told that I would have to give evidence in this case. Mr. Fowler—l think I may as well interpose here. This girl was brought here for larceny on remand, and she made a statement which I would not listen to, but I remanded her in custody of the governor. The statement that she made was that she saw the pistol pulled through, and that she pulled his head exactly in the way that she has described to-day. She is now waiting to be dealt with for the larceny. By Mr. Cottiniham —The first statement I made was to one of the gaolers. I said I had seen Brett shot. That was the night that it had happened. I don't expect to be dealt with more leniently. I gave myself up for the charge on which I am now remanded. You are making me out worse than I am. I don't expect any reward or commutation of the sentence. By Mr. Roberts—l got to the gaol as the cab came up. I only saw one shot fired in the van. Another was fired close to the door before Brett was shot, but I don't know whether it went in the van. There were two little boys in the van. I saw them the day they were sent to the school. I have never spoken to them. lam eighteen years of age. By Mr. Bennet—The van was a short distance through the arch. I was in a state of fear when I did get out. There were not many close to the van. Brett had fallen before I got out. I did not stay when I got out. Brett seemed to be dead then. I went to tell them at the gaol. I did not stay to look at the people who were about. 1 ran away, and did not see any shots fired after I got out. I was not struck with a stone. There was a crowd. Mr. Fowler asked the solicitors if they wanted this witness again. They replied they did not. Mr. Fowler then said she would be remanded for a week. At the suggestion of the prisoner Gould, Mr. Roberts asked witness a question, and in reply she said—l did not notice three men, two women, and a child standing in the Hyde-road. I did not stay to look at any one. Ellen Cooper another prisoner who was in the police van at the time of the attack, was examined. She said Allen was the man who shot Brett, and when he had done that he put a pistol to her face and said—" Give me the keys or I'll blow your brains out." She gave him the keys, and he un locked the door. Cross-examined—Had been convicted of felony. Joseph Partington, a youth who was in the prison van at the time of the attack, said he was locked up in one of the boxes. He heard a pistol fired, and then the van stopped. Some one asked Brett for the keys, and Brett said he dared not give them up. Then another pistol shot was fired. The women in the van were on their knees praying. Allen came into the van and said—" Where's Kelley?" A man in one. of the boxes He's here." Allen tried two of the keys without suc cess, but with the third he liberated two men, who left the van. Witness picked up a bullet on the floor of the van. Frances Armstrong, a female prisoner who was in the van, said she saw Brett holding the ventilator while some men on the roof of the van were trying to break in. heard a man she believed to have been Allen ask for the keys. Ile said he would blow their brains out if the keys were not given up. The keys were given to him, and the door was opened. The man came into the van, and told witness if she did not go out he would blow her brains out. She went out, and got away over the fields. She saw Brannan throwing stones, and saw Corcoran near the van. Cross-examined —Was Ant to prison because she had been drinking. Had been once convicted of felony. At this stage of the proceedings John Morris, who had been remanded on the previous day, was discharged, Mr. Higgin stating that he had no evi dence to offer against them. Joseph Howard, an officer of the city gaol, said on the afternoon of the 18th inst. an alarm was brought to the gaol that the van had been stopped. Witness and other officers went to the scene of the affray, and saw a mob running towards the Sheffield Rail way. Witness followed and saw Allen captured and the revolver produced taken from him. Saw the crowd assaulting Larkin, and asked them to let him alone. One of the gaol warders handed Larkin into the custody of a policeman. Saw some of the crowd returning with Allen, and witness pursued Gould, whom he saw captured. Saw thelrevolver produced taken from Allen. Mark Baxter, a warder at the city gaol, gave similar evidence. He took Gould into custody, and assisted to take Allen, who presented a pistol to witness and snapped it twice, threatening to blow witness's brains out. \Witness threw a brick at Allen, but it hit Gould and knocked him down. James Henry Baxter, a boy who was in the prison van, described the attack on the van, and pointed out Allen as the man who entered the van and un locked the boxes to let out the two men. Heard a good many shots fired ; heard a man ask for the keys, and heard Brett say, I dursn't. Then a shot was fired, and a woman called out, " Charlie's dead." Mr. Fowler here informed the counsel and at torneys for the prisoners that they should have the benefit of the new Act with reference to the attend ance of witnesses. The Act would come into opera tion next Tuesday. Mr. Higgin would close the case for the prosecution on Monday, and on Tuesday witnesses for the defence might be called under the new Act. Police-constable Knox stated that he was on the van when the attack was made. At the archway the van began to slacken its speed, and then a num ber of shots were fired rapidly from revolvers. Witness saw a number of men on the bank, and heard some one call out, " Turn up those keys and let them out." Another man called out, " Blow the b-'s brains out." A shot was fired then, and the ball went between witness's face and the vau. 'Then two more shots were fired. Witness jumped off the step and ran to the horses. Then he went to wards the rear, and saw a man with a large stone trying to break in the door of the van. Another shot was fired then, and witness saw other men try to break into the van. The bullet produced was found on the floor of the van, and given to witness by the boy Partington. Witness could not identify auy of the prisoners. Near the horse's head a man stood with a revolver. Witness said, " Men, don't be so foolish." The man presented his pistol, and witness clapped his hand on his breast, and said to him, " Fire, you cowardly rascal, and bed-d to you." (Laughter.) The man did not fire. Witness had been a soldier. Superintendent Auderton, of the City Police, said he had had charge of the revolver produced—that taken from Allen. It was a five-chambered revolver, and two chambers were loaded with powder and ball. Brett was taken to the infirmary, and witness saw him lying dead there. lie was 50 or 51 years of age. Witness saw the wound in his head, The MICHAELMAS RENEWALS NORTH BRITISII AND MERCANTILE INSURANCE COMPANY. Incorporated by Royal Charter and Acts of Parliament. FIRE DEPARTMENT.

The examination was then adjourned till Monday. SOGTH AMERICA. A fortnight's later intelligence has been received from South America by the French mails from Brazil via Bordeaux, and brings the news of many events of importance from the River Plate. Dates from Buenos Ayres are up to the 12th of August, and up to the sth of same month from the seat of war in Paraguay. The long projected move of the allied army had taken place : the vanguard under the command of General Osorio had marched to a very exposed position on the flank of the Paraguayans; Marshal Caxias, with the bulk of the allied army, was at the left of Humaita, near San Solano, while the old position of the allies at Tujuty was held by Porto Alegre with about 12,000 men. On this extreme position, now occupied by the allies, we take the following from the Buenos Ayres Standard of August 11th, which says— " The line of communications which the allies have to maintain is so much exposed that unless the Brazilian squadron force the pass of the river at Humaita, the present position of the allied army is untenable. A combined attack on the enemy is mooted, but although the public of Buenos Ayres regard victory as certain, and immense prepara tions have been going on to celebrate the long-looked-for triumph, we cannot hesitate to say that the difficulties which the allies must encounter in an assault on the enemy's position are of such a character as to inspire grave fears as to the result. Had the allies, when they effected their flank movement, pushed on with energy, and at tacked the Paraguayans before they had time to concentrate their forces in front of San Solano, it is probable they would have forced Lopez behind the very walls of Humaita. But valuable time has been lost ; the fleet never attempted a passage, and the result is that the enemy not only defends the line at all points, but has cut right down on the road leading from Itapiru to San Solano, and swept off several hundred head of cattle, bullock carts, ; and, in fact, the allies preserve their commu nications with the river only by means of a powerful cavalry force under the command of Gen. Ilornos." From the foregoing will be seen that it is extremely doubtful that the allies, even with their change of postition, will be able to make an attack with any chance of success, while the fleet is still inactive and unable to move from their position in front of Curupaity. In the navy as well as in the army dissatisfaction prevails, and on board the man-of. war, Tacuary, the men had mutinied, thrown their officers overboard, and kept the captain close prisoner. All these symptoms show that the war is not popular with the masses ,in 14:attar:at Buenos Ayres, and that they arc worn out from a pro tracted three years' struggle, in which nothing has been gained—not even a dry foothold on Para guayan soil. At Buenos Ayres files of papers bad been received from the capital of Paraguay, Asuncion, and from Humaita, giving accounts of the usual quantity of crops, and it seems the country had suffered little or nothing by the war. A large wine factory bad been established at Caraguatay. Festivities and picnics had been held at the capital, and a large review of the garrison on the hospital grounds, and all the ladies and countrywomen of the capital and pro vinces are sending in jewels and finery, offering their support to the army, and not to conclude peace as long as a foreign soldier stands upon the soil, display ing fully the patriotism of this small but brave nation. The interior provinces of the Argentine Confedera tion are still in a state of anarchy and rebe:lion, and alarming intelligence had been received from Entre Rios that General Urquiza was arming his forces. Congress at Buenos Ayres had been dis cussing the capital question, and the bill was passed moving it to Rosario. This change will seriously injure Buenos Ayres, and may possibly again bring about the dismemberment of the Argentine Union. Admiral Davis had arrived in the Guerriere at Rio to relieve Admiral Godon. It was currently reported that he brings important instructions from the Cabinet of Washington with regard to the media tion in the war now now pending between the allies and Paraguay, and which intervention, it will be remembered, when first offered was rejected by Brazil and her allies. The commercial intelligence from Buenos Ayres and Montevideo is not very encourag ing, if we except a thriving trade that was being done in army supplies ; but it was much feared that the day army bills could not be discounted that day would see an end to the war, and both Brazil and Buenos Ayres are making home loans and treasury bills, and the former emitting paper currency to a large extent in Buenos Ayres.
