THE MOTJSTACHE. —We hear that a ll b ranc h es o f th e service are delighted with the new moustache memoran dum ; even the old pensioners of Chelsea College are taking the most energetic measures to get up their faded bridlon.—Unikd ServiF6 o‘44‘l°. To the careful watcher symptoms begin to be apparent that Austria is found to be in the way in the solution of the Eastern question. We need not remind our readers that--in our view Austria has been terribly in the way, from first to last, of our great enterprise ; and our opinion is well known= that, to prevent Austria being in the way, the easiest and shortest method would have been to go about our proper business in the most direct and Peremptory manner—certain that she would thus, and thus only, be induced or compelled to commit herself to some distinct course of proceeding. But the dynasties wanted Austria to help them to settle the war on dynastic principles, and they secured lier countenance for their proceedings. Now, how ever, a new feature in the case seems to be in course If disclosure. It may be gathered from various in ications that both diplomatists and generals, Eng lish and French, are becoming uneasy and disheart ened at the decline of theirinfluence, and the growth of that of Austria, at Constantinople. We do not see how any one can wonder at this. In a case where everybody promises, and nobody achieves, the party that promises most will be the preferred one. If ti.e French and English had beaten the Russians at the beginning of the sum mer , the Sultan would not have ben tempted to turn from them to listen to the wily old Metternich and the martial young Francis. Our conduct has been a direct invitation to Austria to bid for. the confidence of the Porte; and we have won no right to complain if the Porte-closes with the offer. The immediate importance of Austria to Turkey is made obvious by the merest glance at o. 'the map;. and we are not entitled t wonder at the Sultan and his'MiniSters for any degree of stupid trust in Austria, after our own weakness of the same sort. • If this be the state of affairs—if Austria be either interposing in the Principalities for the benefit of the Czar, or supplanting us at Constantinople f or her own benefit or that of despots in general—in either of those cases, or in any other, our duty and policy are clear—to strike a blow in the Baltic. It will be very good to capture the Crimea, but that is not enough. We must do something real in the Baltic. Any attack upon the Aland Islands and Bomarsuud must be regarded simply as preliminary steps. If we want to do our duty to ourselves, and to our allies, and to prevent Austria from cheating us, we must strike a heavy blow in the Baltic. Neither Austrian nor Turk can interfere with us there. There our ground is our own ; and there the war —or the first act of the great, complicated, pro tracted war which men are beginning to anticipate —may be brought to a close shortly, sharply, and decisively, as far as any connexion with Austria is concerned. All will probably go well in the Black Sea and on the Danube if we do our work well in the Baltic ; and it seems as if nothing decisive would be done in the East till we have fired the train at the North. If it is objected that the para lysing influence is the same in either sea, because it acts through our Cabinet at home, the answer is that we—the English people—will soon ascer tain that. If the watch that, in the absence of Parliament, the people will set upon the Cabinet, should yield evidence of our commanders in the Baltic being seriously restrained or hampered by orders from home, the next beaten party will be the Cabinet. We will have no Russian alliances at home under an Austrian name : and if there are difficulties with any body professing to re present the Turks, as our rulers profess to re present us, then the English and French in the Baltic, who have no trouble with each other, shall have fair play, and full liberty to show what they can do, if the strong will and hearty sym pathy of their respective nations can secure it for them. It seems that the duty, and the honour, and the privilege of keeping up the national principle and spirit to the great occasion of this war are now clearly devolved upon the people themselves, for the Go vernment influence works all the other way. At the beginning of the enterprise, nothing could be finer than the national purpose and spirit : and nothing can be finer than they would be now and always, if any justice were done to them by the Executive and the Legislature. To speak plainly—what we desire to see is a full and clear and practical recognition that this war is one of fundamental principle on behalf of all nationalities. We should like to see our citizens calmly resolved to settle, once for all, by a resolute and sustained effort, the questions Which will other wise plunge the nations in war from generation to generation, till a conflict, terrible in proportion to the delay, must be enacted and- endured• by all Europe. - We believe that the choice between-now and, then will hardly be left to us ; for the symptoms of restlessness and tokens of changes at present arising from day to day cannot but afford broad hints of many things likely to happen soon. But, however this may be, it is clearly our duty and our wisdom to contemplate and prepare for the settlement of the whole case which is conti- nuously arising. If we had fulfilled the national intention and expectation of last winter, we might possibly have concluded the immediate Russian war in a single campaign.

They do not grudge life and ease—they throw into the cause their toil and pain and sacrifice ; and we may not dare to decline the offering in such a cause.

HOTEL KEEPERS IN DIFFICULTIES.—The Sala of Beer Bill prohibits the keeper of a tavern from supplying his liquors during the greater part of Sunday, " except as refreshment to a bona fide traveller, or a lodger therein." The Glasgow Chronicle states that the proprietor of the Wemyss Bay Hotel, by Greenock, having considerable diffi culty with respect to selling exciseable liquors in the prohi bited time to persons journeying along the road, forwarded to the Lord Chancellor a petition praying the House of Lords to take the opportunity of defining the expression, “bondfidetraveller," but has received foranswer from his lordship's secretary a communication stating "that there exists great difficulty in obtaining is clearer or better definition than what is implied in the words them selves !" In the act in force in New York, it seems that the term " boarder" is used ; and the New York- Herald received by the last mail, after stating that notice had been given that the law for Sunday closing would be strictly enforced, adds, "In this city the liquor-sellers, with the exception of the hotels and the restaurants on the European plan, very generally complied with the notification. But the European plan did a flourishing business. • Every individual whose digestive organs were a o masterin gsixpenny be e t h fs a t t e a k singular wa s t p h e r r o e d a u f e t e t i r o r c i o n o s f i d n e a r t e n d r a e to drink an unlimited and provided, boarder,' and entitled, by the statute in such case made termedcapable quantity."—Morn ing Advertiser. . THE TERM OF HUMAN LIFE.—As there is no apparent reason why the mean "lifetime" in England should be' 4() years, and as it is found to range in extent, u n d er different circumstances, from 25 years in Liverpool an d Manchester, to 45 years in Surrey, and in other locali ties to a number of years still higher, there is good g roun d for believing that it may gradually be raised yet nearer to the complete natural lifetime. .The way is n o t c l ose d to great and immediate ameliorations ; but as it has pleased the Author of the universe to make the food of mankind chiefly the product of labour, their clothing of skill, their intellectual enjoyments of education, their purest emotions of art—so health and the natural life time of the race are, in a certain sense, evidently t o b e the creation of the intellect and the will and it is on l y with the observation, experience, foresight, prudence, and decisions of generations of men at command, that the battle of life can be fought out victoriously to the end..---Census Report.

The Surveyor of the Navy, Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, paid another visit to Woolwich Dockyard, yes terday, to facilitate and accelerate the fitting and depar ture of the despatch gun-boats to the Baltic. The Lynx, screw steam despatch gun-boat, Lieutenant- Commander Luce, having had her engines fitted by John Penn and Son, at their establishment at Deptford, was taken down the river yesterday afternoon to be masted and made ready for sea as soon as possible. The rendezvous just opened at Greenock, on the Clyde, has already been extremely successful in entering first class seamen for her Majesty's service. 120 have joined, and another draught, for the Lynx despatch gun-vessel, Lieutenant-Commande r Luce, has. just been forwarded to Woolwich. Th e splendid opportunities of winning prize -money speedily obtain hands for the gun-vessels. THE RUSSIAN STEAM-ENGINES. A vessel has been sent to the Clyde to bring over the machinery that was constructed for Russian ships of war, in order that it may be fitted to some large store and troop-ships, purchased by the Government, at Blackwall. We hear, however, that the contractors persist in their refusal to give up the engines; and the, chances are that an expedition to the Clyde will be ne cessary to capture the enemy's steam-engines. Those old pensioners, "John Doe and Richard Roe," it is ex pected, will be called out to do duty once more, and head this new northern enterprise. A mail for the Baltic fleet will be made up and for warded through Belgium to Dantzic this evening. A mail will also be made up this evening, the Bth inst., for the army in Turkey and the fleet in the Black Sea, to be forwarded via Marseilles. MILITARY. A detachment of the 15th Foot, with a detachment of the 37th Regiment, under the command of Lieutenant W. J. Bazalgette, 37th, arrived on Saturday at the in valid depot, Fort Pitt, Chatham, from Ceylon ; and a detachment of the 16th Foot also arrived as invalids from Jamaica. The undernamed officers at Chatham Garrison have obtained leave of absence :—Lieutenant Richard L. Warrand, and Lieutenant Richard L. Craster, 35th, until their embarkation for Calcutta ; Captain W. Henry Kirby, 94th, until the 30th inst. ; and Ensign John Murray until the 14th inst. ! Lieut.-General Fleming has resumed the command of the Limerick district.

The Ist division of the 21st Regiment (Royal North British Fusiliers) arrived at Cork on Thursday, from Dublin ; the second division arrived on Friday, and the third division on Saturday. They will await transports for conveyance to the East. The depot will be stationed with the provisional battalion at Fermoy. The colonel is Lieut.-General Sir De Lacy E vans , K.c.E., and the lieutenant-colonel in command Frederick George Ainslie. The depot of the 21st, under Captain Hobbs, with the following officers—Capt a i ns Charter and Collingwood ; Lieutenants Peddie, Killeen,and Best ; and Ensign Cairnes—has arrived at Buttevant, from Dublin.

This being the first batch Of invalids from the seat of war, their presence created Very considerable interest. The detach ments were under command of Captain William Jesse Hoare, 7th Fusiliers, and Surgeon A. H. Cowen, 50 th. Th e result of a medical inspection was that only 30 men were sent into hospital, and the remainder,. with the exception of the Guards, were sent to the invalid d e p ot, St. Mary's Barracks, to await the decision of a Chelsea board, which will assemble in a few days. THE LANCERS' NEW UNIFORAL ' The Lancers' new uniform will consist of a tunic or frock, similar to the one to be worn by th e regiments particularly denominated Light Dragoons ; but th e seams will be of the same colour as t he facin g s, the only dis tinction ; thus, the seams of t h e 17 th Lancer s wi ll be white, similar to the fa cin g s . The cap and trousers will be the same a s u s ual . The colou r for the future of all light cavalry regiment s w ill be blue; indeed, of late the 16 th Lancers was the only corps permitted to retain the scarlet, a distinction now to be abolished , no doubt much '4o the regret of the recruiting serjeant, as the eye of the recruit generally falls on the more prominent colour. Our goveiiiments have of late years been very w hi ms i cal in regard to military dress ; but this change is the most remarkable of ail, particularly as a wholesale set is made against lace, much to the consternation of the gold and silver lace tradesmen. The new Hussar and heavy uniforms are under consideration. Mr. Rogers, of Covent-garden, is the designer 'of the Lancers' new uniform ; there are .numerous competitors in the field for the others. THE AMBULANCE CORPS. Several of the men intended for this corps left London yesterday for the East. Th e corps is to be under the command of a Captain Grant, and . the uniform i s to b e grey. Th e d uty w ill b e to pick up stragglers, the wounded, &c. Th e pay is to be two guineas per week, with rations fine pay certainly for quondam policemen, more than a poor lieutenant receives. ROYAL ARTILLERY. One hundred men of the Royal Artillery proceeded from Woolwich garrison at 4 a.m. yesterday to the Royal Arsenal to assist in loading the Australia transport steamer with large guns and warlike stores for service in the East ; they were relieved at I o'clock p.m. by an equal number of men, as it is desirable that she should be able to embark Major Young's company,7 2d c om p any of the 12th battalion, an d C ap t. Irving 's-3d company, 12th battalion to-day, these companies being under or ders to proceed with the siege guns for service in Turkey. A 9-pounder field battery has been packed up along with e e he ss necessary to b ee ha m bar rn ke e d s s a t for the Woolwich horses,D ockyard vice with No. 5 company, 12th battalion, under orders for service in the East, and will be put on board imme diately on the vessel coming down from Deptford. One hundred and fifty non-commissioned officers and men of theßoyal Artillery have moved from the Artillery Barracks at Woolwich into the Royal Marine Barracks. There are also three companies of Royal Artillery in camp on Woolwich-common, and two in camp in Green hill, at the west end of the Artillery Barracks. By these arrangements the authorities are enabled to have the barracks thoroughly cleaned and renovated. Eighteen sergeants, conductors, have been placed under orders to proceed in the Australia for service in the East. THE MILITIA AND YEOMANRY. The number of Militia regiments now out embodied and doing garrison duty is 14 ; these will in due time be relieved by others hereafter to be embodied for perma nent duty. The East Kent Militia, Lieutenant-Colonel Brockman, arrived at New-cross on Friday morning from Chiches ter, and marched into the garrison at Woolwich, to do duty in the room of the Lancashire Militia, removed to Portsmouth. The East Kent appear a fine body of men. The West Essex Yeomanry Cavalry, Major Pulman, commander, were inspected yesterday at Chelmsford by Colonel Griffiths, who warmly commended the skill and proficiency of the corps. DEATH OF MAJOR-GENERAL H. H. HARTLEY. Died, on the 7th August, Major-General Humphrey Robert Hartley, born 24th August, 1794. He was educated at the Royal Military College of Marlow, Bucks, where he obtained the highest honour as under officer, and entered his Majesty's service as ensign by purchase in the 57th Regiment of Foot, which he joined on the Bth October, 1812, at Brighton, and whilst there made a special applicatior. to Colonel Spring, soliciting permission to join a detachment then on the eve of embarkation for Spain. Ho proceeded thither, joining the 57th at head-quarters of Major-General Byng's brigade on the Pyrenees in 1813. He became lieutenant by purchase, and was present when the British force entered France, on the night of the 9th November, 1813, and on the following day was hotly engaged with the enemy ; and continued to do duty with the second division till the termination of hos tilities at Toulouse, and upon the ratification of the treaty of peace was ordered to Canada. During his passage the transport in which the 57th was embarked sustained and repulsed for two days successive attacks by au American privateer. Returning home in 1815 he was despatched with his regiment to Belgium, en route to Paris, to do duty with the army of occupation till 1818. From this date till 1824 he served in Ireland, and in that year was sent to Van Diemen's Land and New South Wales. Whilst on this latter station he was appointed, being senior cap tain, to relieve Major Campbell as conunandant of Mel ville Island, a tropical and most unhealthy climate, which settlement was upon his representations abolished. He returned to England 12th July, 1831, having at tained his lieutenant-colonelcy as well as the two junior ranks by purchase. Having thus obtained the command of the regiment that he entered as ensign, he proceeded to Madras in 1832, and there introduced into the 57th Regiment, on the 6th of November, 1832, the first savings bank in the British army, since established throughout the united service. He likewise introduced libraries for the non-commissioned officers. From ex treme bodily prostration, in consequence of climate and arduous duties, he obtained special leave of absence, and upon convalescence effected an e xc h ange i n the 89th Regiment, but continued unattached. Major-General H. R. Hartley married on the 3d of May, 1832, Miss Montague, daughter of Admiral Robt. Montague, of the red of Sir r Godfrey s qu a Copley, squadron, ' ro n of and sp r t o h t t e e s great b ur g hegran daughteratida Nether Hall, York. Major-General Hartley received the Peninsula, war medal, with two clasps, for Nivelle and Busaco. THE ROYAL DOCKYARD BRIGADE AND THE MOUS TACHE MOVEMENT.—On the order being promulgated here, the non-commissioned officers of the respective companies had to report to the Lieutenant-Colonel that a large number of the men, principally artificers, bad to a very considerable extent, and for some time past, cul tivated the moustache and the full and free growth of their whiskers ; they have therefore only to conform to the standing orders as to the extent pertnitted. These men, when in uniform P have a very soldier-lik e appear ance, and seem all muc h pleased with the order permit ting the continuation of this soldier-like form in change of feature, for certain it is many of them are really now unknown even to their own officers, such is the change in their appearance.

Lieutenant Nicholas Dunscombe was called, and examined on his former oath. Prosecutor—Have you never received ill-treatment at he hands of Captain Nicholas ? Witness—Ne;rer. Prosecutor—ls it within your knowledge that Captain Nicholas aids and abets others in annoying young officers, or that he has aided and abetted others in so doing ? Witness—lt is not.

Prisoner—Did you not, after parade that day, come to me in my own room and say, "They may call me what names they like, I do not care ;" and was not that in re ference to the previous question I asked you ?

I should say he was unpopular in the regiment, I conclude from his offen sive forward manners partly, and from the bad character I have heard of him in the regiment. I don't know why he was unpopular in the regiment ; I only heard so. The President—" Heard so ;" that will not do. Witness—l've only been quartered with Lieutenant Perry for three •or four months ; I've seen very little of him. Prisoner—Let the witness state all he knows.

Ido not recollect. Major-General Wetherall here announced that he had received a letter from Colonel Garrett that 30 men and a subaltern would have to march immediately for embarka tion in the Harbinger, and that Lieutenant Dallas was the officer appointed to go out with them. Before Lieutenant Dallas embarked, he (Major-General Wetherell) wished to know whether the prisoner would require the evidence of Lieutenant Dallas for his defence. Lieutenant Perry—No, I shall not. I have one or two questions to ask. Prisoner—Were you not one of the party at the Linen hall Barracks, Dublin, who broke open my door, and made me get into my tub ? Witness—l was not. Prisoner—Have I never kindly volunteered to take duty from you when nobody else would, as you wished to go away ? Witness —I daresay you have. Lieutenant Forde was then sworn—The charges having been first read over to him, Prosecutor —How long have you been in the 46th Regi ment ? Witness—One year and eight months. Prosecutor —Have you ever received ill-treatment at the hands of Captain Nicholas ? Witness—l have never. Prosecutor—ls it within -your knowledge that Captain Nicholas aids and abets others in annoying young officers, or that he has aided and abetted others in so doing ? Witness—l never knew him to. annoy any officer since I have been in the regiment, or to aid and abet others in so doing. Prosecutor—What is the character of Captain Nicholas, as regards his treatment of young officers? Witness—l consider him kind and good-natured, espe cially to young officers on joining. If I may be allowed to mention my own case, I received from him, if possible, on joining the 46th, more kindness and good nature than from any of the other officers. Prisoner—Were you ever the subject of practical jokes ; if so, of what nature were they, how many, and who were present ? Witness—l never was, that I can call to my recollection ; in fact, I may say that I never was. Prisoner—When you were pulled out of bed, at the Linen-hall Barracks, Dublin, by Ensign Castles, of the 17th Regiment, how many of our officers were present, and what did you do ? Witness—l never was pulled out of my bed by Ensign Castles, of the 17th Regiment. Ensign Castles and an officer of the 46th came into my room on one occasion, about 4 o'clock in the morning . I think Ensign Castles annoyed me. I got ou t o f my bed and turned him out of the room. Prisoner—What did Ensign Castles do, and who else was present ? Witness—He apologised to me, after annoying me. Prisoner—The nature of the annoyance— The President—l thought so. Witness—He went on talking for some time, and then he attempted to pull off the bedclothes. As soon as he did so, I turned him out of the room. Tho other officer present was Lieut. Greer. Prisoner -Were not Curtis, Greer, and Payne, of till 46th, in your room ? Did not Castles pull the clothes off your bed, catch hold of your arm, and attempt to pull you out of your bed? Did you not thrust and kick him out of your room, much to the amusement of the officers of the 46th ? Witness—l have already stated that there was only one officer of the 46th present, and that was Lieutenant Greer. On his attempting to lay hold of the bedclothes, I caught him and thrust him out of the room. Prisoner—Did not this occurrence take place the first night I joined ? Witness—lt may have. I have not the slightest recol lection of the fact. Prisoner—Are you not aware that, as it was the first night I joined, I was taken up into your room by the officers I have named? Was not that the first time you ever saw me ? Witness—l have no recollection of having seen Lieut Perry, on that night, in my room. Prisoner—To refresh yoUr memory, may I ask you if it is not a fact that you did not dine at mess that night ? Witness—l cannot say whether I did or did not dine at mess that night. It is upwards of a year ago, and I can't recollect whether I did or did not. Lieutenant Curtis was then called, and examined on his former oath, the charges being first read over to him. Prosecutor—flow long have you been in the 46th Regi ment ? Witness—Nearly four years. Prosecutor—Have you ever received ill-treatment at the hands of Captain Nicholas ? Witness—Never ; on the contrary, great kindness. Prosecutor--Is it within your •knowledge that Captain Nicholas aids and abets others in annoying young officers, or that he has aided and abetted others in so doing? Witness—l never knew a single instance of such a thing. Prosecutor—What is the character of Captain Nicholas as regards his treatment of young officers ? Witness—He is very kind to all young officers. He was especially so to myself. Prisoner—ls your recollection so clear that you can speak with accuracy as to all the questions just asked of you, when, on Friday last, you stated that the meeting of officers had been held, for auditing the mess accounts, when it afterwards transpired that the meeting was held for a far different purpose ? Witness—l totally forgot, when giving my evidence on Friday, that such a meeting had been held. Prisoner—Do you recollect the first night I joined, Fordo's door being broken open, and he taken from his bed ? Witness—l do not. Prisoner—Will you state positively that Ensign Castles, of the 17th Regiment, then on detachment with the 46th, at the Linen-hall barracks in Dublin, did not go into Forde's room for the purpose of "drawing him ?" Witness—Ensign Castles did go into Lieutenant Forde's room, but Lieu%pant Forde was not taken from his bed. Prisoner—What did take place, then, on that occasion ? Witness—Forde got out of bed, and seeing an officer of another regiment in his room, thrust him out. Ho said he did not mind it from officers of his own regiment, but he would not stand it from officers of another regiment.

At the time the order came for the regiment to leave Dublin for Kilkenny and. outquarters, Lieut. Perry requested an officer in the regi ment to come tome and say that he wished to ` speak t ome. My answer was, a s near l y as I can recollct, 'Tsha7 ni lb e e . delighted to see Mr. Perry in my room."

It being now 4 o'clock, the Court adjourned until to morrow (this day), 'when it is meted that the case for the prosecution will close. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—It is reported and believed in this town, that an officer in Lord Beaumont's Regiment of Militia, and lately in the 46th Regiment of Foot, has, during the sitting of the present court-martial on Lieutenant Perry, openly de clared that he was present when Lieutenant Perry com plained to Colonel Garrett, and that he heard him call Lieutenant Perry "a 1--d fool for his pains." Lord Beaumont's regiment has been quartered in our barracks, and was only disbanded on Wednesday last, but there can be no difficulty on the part of the Commander in-Chief in findinc , who this o ffi cer is, where he now is, and in producing hitu b before the court-martial. Should the Commander-in-Chief not do so, it is to be hoped that this officer will not hesitate to give evidence 110 essential to Lieutenant Perry. Leeds, Aug. 5. FIAT JUSTITIA. THE BRIBERY BILL. Alter all the aberrations and extravagances of this wearisome session, Parliament last night exhibited what may be be called a lucid interval, though unfortunately the insanity has been in the Lower House, the reason in the Upper. This phenomenon has occurred in the treatment by their lordships of the Bribery at Elections Bill, which has been very remarkable in many respects. As the bill emerged from the Lower House, notwith standing its title and the lofty pretensions of its pream ble, it was nothing more nor less than a bill for legalis ing the payment by the candidate of the travelling ex penses of electors, seeing that, in the absence of the proposed d claration, every clause was as nugatory as a watch without a mainspring, or a Chinese war steamer with a funnel and straw to do duty for an engine. This, then, was what their lordships had to consider—viz., whether they would make it lawful for candidates to pay whatever they pleased, or whatever public opinion would allow, for the travelling—that is, for the convey ance, feeding, and recreation of electors. It was rather a nice question for the Lords, who are commonly sup ' posed to have a vested interest in the lower appetites of the rabble, insomuch that there are people who main tain that if small freeholders and tenant-farmers were not thirsty in summer we should not have either Howie Of Lords or Queen. In the Lower House seven Cabinet Ministers voted in favour of this clause, so that it might he expected that not only the instinctive love of corrup tion ascribed to the House of Lords, but also Ministe rial consistency, would secure the safety of the . clause. Strange to say, it was last night quietly and almost unanimously extracted from the bill and sent to the winds. The House of Lords has come fotward to protect the virtue of the Commons, and to secure that small electors, scattered about the country, away from the polling-places, shall not have any extra induce ment to do their duty. The omission of the clause was actually moved by a Cabinet Minister—the Duke of Newcastle—in the face of his seven colleagues, who had voted for it ; and all the deference or respect he showed for his colleagues consisted in his refusing to vote for as amendment of a directly contrary nature —viz., utterly forbidding the payment of travelling expenses. The Duke of Newcastle had just so much respect for the lower hone and his friends in it that he would not go quiteso' far as the Marquis of Clanricarde wanted him to do ;. but he pointed out how the thing could be matiaited rather more quietly—viz., by striking out the clause altogether. There can be no doubt that their lordships are right, much as one is disposed to suspect them in the matter of elections. Nobody is fit to have a vote if he will not pay ten shillings or so to carry him to the poll, and, if the expenses of a voter come to more, then the less the candidate has to do with him the better. The election is the elector's affair, for, though there are people so heroic or so silly as to wish to be members of Parlia ment, the only ostensible object of the whole affair is the good of the people at large. If the representative attends in Parliament for half the year, sitting great part of the time from 12 at noon to 2 o'clock the next morn ing in a poisonous atmosphere, and with disease and death rife about him, it is not too much that electors should once in three or four years — practically once in a dozen years --spend a few shillings for the good of their country. It is only rather strange that the House of Commons should put itself in the very false position of being taught a lesson of virtue by the landlords. The cry so often raised by the vested interests, "Thank God, there is a House of Lords," may now be repeated by the most zealous sticklers for constitutional govern ment,'the rights of the people, and purity of election. But for this timely interference, this deathbed repent ance exhibited by the Legislature in the last week of the session, it would be perfectly lawful to give any man 101. for his vote at the next election, if he only took care to be at Caithness, or Galway, or Paris, when the election was approaching. This, too, was the only effectual part of the bill, for all the rest is machinery for working something which no longer exists. It only t strikes one ou ld as be ratherlittle e strange b a e n t d w e n e n n a M c c n u is n t t e ae rsb in thatone house and in the other, and that the Duke of Newcastle should feel himself so entirely at liberty to throw over board the work of his colleagues. There has, to be sure, been a great deal of candour this session—of that candoUr which none can show so well as the members of one Cabinet—and so we presume the candour of the proceed. ing is only a proper requital for the candour displayed on several other occasions. But the tables are strangely turned when the Lords are become the purifiers of the Commons. The advocates of the Charter must make the next attempt in the Lords, and the ballot, if passed by a majority of ten to one in that house, will have rather more chance in the Commons than it has usually found. - ' -- It is just possible, indeed, that their lordships may have discovered that in elections, as on other occasions, nobility is very liable to be beaten by the still more exuberant, self•willed, and lawless power of wealth. The wealthy parvenu, with his pedigree and coat of arms manufactured and paid for at the Heralds' College, boats the descendant of kings, emperors, and divinities, is the town and in the country, in his m ans i on in Hyde -park, his castle in Yorkshire, and his domain in the Highlands; in banquets, balls, races, yachts, scientific husbandry, pic tures,— in everything, in fact, within the power ofa Medici, a Napoleon, or a Rothschild. Money is omnipotent in i,ooin.ni ci a , :dt:' lee'l could)an 'un' the command of existing means, and the country gen tleman with his estate in his family since the days of the Conqueror, but so encumbered that the balance is one way or the other way according to the markets, stands no chance whatever with the man who has only to smile, and it rains gold all around him. So their lord ships have possibly discovered that two can play at the game of corruption, and that " Plutocracy, as a cor respondent described it the other day, is now a much more powerful state of therealm than the "aristocracy." Under these circumstances it is as well to be virtuous, which at all events is cheap, and who knows but what, , with the assistance of this novel auxiliary, the old Ex t i h g; lish gentleman may once more make head against and Hebrews cotton-spinners, railway kings, merchants, i t n he t i h r e lo N‘ r . d o s r li ld ip 7 s, is still we Howeverare inclinedtli e speculation to believe,m Nobility n ta s k a e d a with nd sober earnest, it is their best chance. much as worshiped in this country, but it is worshiped orshi ped their old i i the civilised, intellectual Pagans. 1 deities, with a mild, of devotion.
