STAMPED ....sd. TO the ELECTOR 3 of the CITY of LONDON. G EN TLEMEN,— I n c omp li ance with the wishes of Twiny et my ft-tends in the City, who think that the sentiments 1 expressed at the meeting of the Liberal Association on Tuesday last have not been published so fully as they ex pected. I venture respectfully to place before the electors th e grounds on whi c h I claimed the honour or their suffrages. I a M ws y political lif e b egan with the first agitation 'of the Corn , and I was a member of the Anti-D.';rn Law League which,'unde r th e guidance of Mr. - RicbArd Cobden, achiev e d thAr repeal— the greatest social revolution of the age. I then took an - detive interest in the abroz Ilion of the Naviga tion LanN,, although it was a question which tried the con „,iltenej, of free traders more than many of the old school of "" .. 'frowners could endure. These and the other fiscal changes of the last twenty years Contr buted so much to the hat piness and prosperity of the country that the grounds for controversy have been narrowed very much to the Church Rates and the Ballot. On the first of these I never hesitated for a moment to admit they were most discreditable to churchmen, who would gladly raise the sum by a voluntary rate, and that forcible exaction should cease without delay. As to the Ballot, althoueli never op po-ed to it, I considered that the growing indifference throughout the country, and the sickly course it was rennin; in the house of Commons, did not warrant a Quixotic at tempt to press it on the constituencies of England at this time, feeling sure that it' the want of it became a grievance it must soon be redressed, and I should be then ready to take my share in the work. On the question of ;,he franchise I declined to commit my self to its immedi.dtc or early reduction, and I based this liemi - ation, not 'only on what had taken place in America, but in a field for a fairer trial of democratic e . overnment than any othe,r, p l ace in the world—Victoria. Australis—wh ere t h e worai:dz classes, being chiefly men who hind paid I heir own Pa's.,sages, involving an outlay of £l5 to £2O, would compare 'ee-y favourably wito those they had lett behind —that they had a( quired universal sulTrage, and the Ilse they had put it to, as far as they could, was social and political rctro.zression. ooh community had felt its effects so sensibly that it foot new electoral amendment act was passing triumphantly (in volving. for the first time the education test of the elector's signature) which would disfranchise from one-third to one half the electors. At the same time, I stated my wne-ness to extend the £ l O franchise to lodgers, and also would be glad to see its equalisation in the country as in the to It is a great mistake, as I mentioned,vtootisnuliiiiose thawtn'irie.. t n r o f o .w ti , ' at s m h i a l , - , chanits are now debarred the right of hugs a week is so low in the social Scale that above the limit of an Inferior labourer but livea in a house at a higher rent, and if he would b,, a yearly ic Stead of a weekly occupier, lie needs no reduction in the Iranchise to acqu-re his qualification. On tr e question_ was quite prepared to ts.k . of our foreign policy Ie my stand with Lord Palmerston's Covernment ; and in , a and navy, I stated tha l t Alit e for the support of the army any unnecessary or I Would endeavour to control upon the stren4doubtful expenditure, I should insist th and efficiency of the services being such as would prevc nt a repetition which w- ant discret of the panics of former years, em mem', and invited .able to the nation, injurious to a 7 svas,-, Simplyinsult, if not aggression--that the cost '''Aienditure a premium of insurance security, and a- y ex. for to Was preferable, in a country like ours,fee ling that we were not covered from all ordinary or even extraor dinary risks. _ In defending the privileges of the City I had no misgivings. It t o the last unimpaired memorial of the dawn of re present itive government—its traditions are intimately asso ciate 1 with our national history —it still retains the vigour of maturity ; and enjoys the . crodsCulence-ef the vat tuft - Mast' 13°4 3? witlan - its-boun'tif: Such a Inunicipality de•erves the respect of the country, and I should in common with my f ellow -citizens endeavour to teach all rash innovators that rte had the power and the will to enforce it. In submitting my name to the consideration cf the Liberal electors represented by their committe. , , I d- tcrmined to abide their decision, and not permit myself to be a party to any division in the camp. Uniformity of opinion I never expected, but at some future period my sentiments, which have been mellowed by experience, may then prove more acceptable to the constituency than on the present occasion. —Yours most respectfully, T.

The Committee of Management have to state that, since the beginning of the year 1860, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution has expended £32,000 on various Lifeboat Estab lishments on the Coasts of Eng!and, Scotland, and Ireland. The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the Society, and other means, since its formation, is 12,800; tor' which services 82 Gold Medals, 718 Silver Medals, and £10,480 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu tion has also expended £67,C00 on Life-boats, Life-boat Transporting -cart ;ages, and Boat-houses. The Committee desire to express their grateful sense of the gcnerouq support which they have received from the British public during the past few years, a support which has enab'ed them to establimli their resent magnificent fleet of 123 Lifeboats on the shores of the United Kingdom. Deeply sensible, however, of the great responsibility that rests on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient state, and its Crews practised in the management of their boats, whilt can only be effected by a large and permanent annual income, they earnestly appeal to all classes of their countrymen to aid them in upholding and perpetuating so great and truly national a work.

John Young, who was a passenger on board the ill-fated Anglo-Saxon, received this week by gentleman in the nei, , ,hbourhood of Edinburgh : " After leaving Londonderry, we had rather heavy weather and high seas ; but nothing remarkable occurred on the voyage until Saturday, the 25th April, when we met .ca about 9 o'clock p.m. The ship was slowed, and during the night, in consequence of the heaviness of the ice, the engines were stopped. In the morning the fog partially cleared away, and we slowly tried to push our way through it. Fortunately, there was little as hid, and as the day ad vanced the weather became clear, and from the masthead clear water was discovered to the north-west.. We con tinued to push through it, and succeeded in clearing it at two p.m., when the weather was clear and fine. The ship was then put under full steam and sail, and we started on our course at the rate of 114 miles an hour. An observa tion of the sun was taken at 12 a.m., when in the ice, show ing our position at that time to be 46 64 N. lat,, and 47 24 W. long. On getting clear of the ice other observations were taken to confirm that of 12. The captain had instruc tions from the agents of the ship at Liverpool to call at Cape Race, Newfoundland, for a telegram, which would inform him if the Gulph and River St. Lawrence were clear of ice; and, in conversation with me that afternoon, he congratu lated himself on the weather being clear, and that he would be able to sight the Cape early next morning. During the night, the weather became foggy. I got up at 7, and went on deck; saw the captain, and expressed my regret at the change in the weather, and asked him if, under present cir cumstances, he still intended to make Cape Race. He re plied 'No, I have changed the course of the ship, and will not now make Cape Race.' I expressed my satisfaction, made Rime reinark s on thetreaffilr eniability reati g oft hitn, with' so many people on board, to which he replied that he deeply felt that responsibility. I could not wick' being anxious, with my knowledge of our proximity to Newfoundland in such foggy weather, and at 10 a.m. I again availed myself of my intimacy with Captain Burgess to ask him where he thought we then were. His reply was, We are now about 16 miles south of Newfoundland, and at 12 o'clock we shall be 20 miles south of Cape Race.' We were then going half speed, or six miles an hour. This reply of the captain made me feel satisfied, " About an hour afterwards I was down in Miss Young's state room; and Florence, looking out of the dead light shoreward, cried Oh, papa, look at the iceberg,' I glanced out, and to my horror saw, at about 20 feet distant, what I supposed to be an iceberg ; but what I thought an iceberg was merely the white spray of the broken sea running down the precipitous sides of a cliff. The ship had not then struck. I ran on deck, but before I got there she had struck with her bow heavily. Engines were stopped ; she swung alongside the cliff, and struck with terrible force on the side of the ship. Engines were reversed with the view of turning out the stern seaward, but the wind and a very heavy sea prevented this ; and instead of the stern swing ing out, it struck on a rather projecting part of the rock, rendering useless the screw and rudder. As she came down with each receding wave on the side and stern on the rocks, the terrible noise of the crashing thus created, joined with the noise of the surf beating on the rocks, was perfectly awful. The fog was very dense, the cliff on which we had struck was very precipitous, nor could we see the top of it from the ship. lat once saw that the ship would become a wreck, and would soon break up, and believed it impos sible that many could be saved. I went at once to Mrs. Young and told her plainly our situation, said I would do all I could, explained to her that as there was no rock under the centre of the ship that the saloon was as safe a place then as any other. and that I wisbed her to have all the children, Miss Inglis, and Charlotte together in one corner of the saloon, not to move from there without my personal request, to get some warm clothing, and to put some bread in the pockets of their dresses, Nothing could exceed the quiet resignation of all my party. Charlotte was quite calm, and busied herself in helping to dress the children, and showed great forethought about everything, and no signs of fear. I have frequently seen evidence of the nerve and resolution of Mrs. Young, but her conduct, and that of Miss Inglis, on this occasion was beyond all praise. I went from them on deck; saw the captain on the bridge, who, remarking that this was a terrible affair, gave an order to let both bow anchors go,' I saw that his order was not heard in the tumult of voices, and asked if he would allow me to give the order. I went forward and did so. Orders were then given to lower boats, and the captain superintended the rigging out of spars to the rocks, getting a rope ashore, and rigging on it a kind of basket, in which the women steerage passengers were being put on the rocks, about 40 feet distant. Tho captain and second officer per sonally attended to this. Few of the sailors were there, for, I regret to say, they made early for the boats, and kept outside of the ship, without making those efforts to save life which, I believe, should and could have been done. I came back to the stern, feeling convinced that there was no chance for ray people forward, among so many, struggling for their turn ; but nothing was being done for the cabin passengers. I cried to five sailors in tho long boat, about 100 yards distant, to come alongside, but they paid no at tention to my request. "I ran forward again to the bow, spoke to the captain, and asked him what was to be done for the women and children in the cabin. He said, " See Mr. Hoare, first officer, and tell him from me to get a boat alongside at once.' The only boat left was the starboard. quarter boat, which was small, She was coming alongside, when the captain came aft, and joined with myself and first officer in entreating the five sailors in the long-boat to come in with their boat. At this juncture, the captain requested Mr. Green. the mail officer, to go out, and, if necessary, compel the men in the longboat to come in. This Mr. Green accomplished, The ship was now fast sinking, but most of us thought she would hold on to the rocks for some time. A derrick to lower the women was ready to lower them into the boats. Mrs. Young went first. My party, by my orders, were all round the spot from whence i they were to be lowered. The children were mostly dropped the boats by hand as the boats rose on the wave. One sick lady was lowered down, then the stewardess, and only Miss Inglis, Anne, and Charlotte remained, and their turn had come. The captain here spoke to me. I told him all will be on board at once. I said I could be prepared to assist him in any way I could. His reply was—' The ship won't last many minutes; save yourself if you can.' Char lotte then having come, and the captain promising to see them over, I sprang from the ship, and fortunately reached the boat, with some bruises, and had the satisfaction of seeing them all on board, when we bad to push out from the ship. All the ladies in the saloon were saved except three. The boats had barely time to get away from the ship when she fell over, and in a very few minutes was submerged. The shrieks of the dying and of those on the upper deck when the ship fell over will never be forgotten by those who heard them. Mrs. Young, I, and the seven children were in the small boat, besides two other children, a boy and a girl, from the steerage, whose mother threw them into the boat as we were leaving, but could not reach it herself. Besides these children, we had 17 full-grown persons in the boat, having picked up Captain Cassiday, of the 30th Regiment, and the Rev. Mr. Eaton, of England, swimming in life preservers. The long-boat had 43 persons on board, and there was another boat with 23 on board. The long-boat was under command of Mr. Hoare, first officer. Our boat was under command of Mr. Green, mail officer. and the third boat under Mr. Scott, fourth officer. We met and agreed to keep together. To lighten our boat our water casks had been thrown overboard ; we had no bread and no food of any kind; there was no time to take any of the warm clothing made ready. The fog was very dense, we could only see a short distance ahead. We pulled some distance, as we supposed, alongshore, for the noise of the surf breaking on the rocks enabled us to distinguish the land side. Late in the afternoon we determined to try land, but we soon got into broken water, showing us the danger and impossibility of landing. The sea ran very high, and the pitching of the boat made the children and some of the elders very sea. sick.' As night came on, I packed the chil dren in the bottom of the boat as close as I could. They were all very wet, and Freddy had no shoes on; and being all thinly clad, we suffered from cold and shivering. It rained heavily during the night, and we got thoroughly drenched. This, however, we rejoiced in, because we knew that the fog is generally thereby cleared off. We had the three boats tied together with their painters most of the night, and managed thus to keep together; still, in such a sea it was difficult to prevent collisions. About midnight the fog cleared away—we commenced rowing and steered north, and anxiously wished for the morning. We did not know where we wore, and all of us thought our chance of life a pour one. Had the fog continued, or had the wind came from the shore, we would have been driven to sea and O a n etea h mer,and we probably perished miserably—but God had willed it other wise.

NEW YORK, May 19, Morning: The Federal loss in killed, wouLded, and missing in the late battles at Chaneellorsville is cfficially estimated at 13,500, and the loss in prisoners at 4,500. The Confederates have thrown up extensive earth works along the ridge of the hills in the rear and to the lull of Fredericksburg. It is reported that Gen. Hooker will be reinforced frcm the troops around Washington and Baltimore and on the 'Virginia and Maryland railroads, their places being sup plied by the Pennsylvania militia. Colonel Grier son, with a brigade of Illinois and lowa cavalry from General Grant's army, has made an extraor dinary raid, passing from Tennessee through the heart of Mississippi, and reaching safely Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Northern correspondents as sert that Colonel Grierson travelled 800 miles in seventeen days, destroying 4,000,000 dole. worth of property, and portions of most important railroads. It is also stated that he captured 1,000 prisoners and 1,200 horses, and defeated the enemy at nume rous points, all resulting in advantage to General Grant's movements. Col, Grierson has been received at'New Orleans with great public demonstrations. Admiral Farragut has arrived at New Orleans, having passed_ a small . gunboaeiv‘Abrough, the Atchafalaya and Grand haslrought telligence that Admiral Porter, with his own fleet and portion of his (Farragut's) gunboats, took pos session of Alexandria, 70 miles up the Red River, on the 6th inst. On the same day General Banks' forces arrived at Alexandria, forming a junction with Admiral Porter. Alexandria was abandoned by the Confederates, who retreated to Schreveport, and took their gun boats above Red River falls. The capture of Alexandria interferes with the Confederate supplies from Texas and Arkansas. It is reported that Admiral Farragut will imme diately attack Port Hudson with the fleet from below, in conjunction with Admiral Porter's fleet from above. Some accounts state that tho bombardment has commenced. The Northern press think that Grant, Porter, and Farragut's present movements will insure the open ing of the Mississippi. Captain Dwight having been killed by guerillas in the neighbourhood of Opelous as , G enera l Banks has ordered 100 inhabitants of that region to be arrested, and kept in close conf nement at New Orleans until the guerillas are given up. Gen. Banks has ordered a n organisation of coloured troops, to be called the Corps d'Afrique,and to con sist of 18 regiments of infantry, cavalry, and artil lery. They are to be organised and instructed by the best army officers. It consequence of disturb ances at places of amusement in New Orleans, the Provost. Marshal has ordered all the programmes of all the entertainments 10 be submitted to him. They were not to bo interspersed with national airs. Several New Orleans schoolmistresses have been heavily fined for permitting the children to draw rebel flags and sing rebel songs. Heavy firing had been heard at New Orleans in the direction of Charleston harbour on the 14th inst. It was supposed to arise from an attack by Federal Monitors on the Confederate batteries on Morris Island. The Charleston papers say that the guns of the Keokuk were raised, and will be mo'znted at Charleston. The Confederates have made a raid in KanaNs ha Valley, capturing one company of Federal cavalry, portions of two infantry companies, and 40 waggons. The following letter from the President of the anifederate States is communicated to the army as an expression of his appreciation of its success : " I have received your despatch, and reverently unite with you in giving praise to God for the EUCCCSS with which he has crowned our arms. "In the name of the people, I offer my cordial thanks to yourself and the troops under your com mand for this addition to the unprecedented series of great victories which your army has achieved. The universal rejoicing produced by this happy result will be mingled with a general regret for the good and the brave who are numbered among the killed and wounded. " It. E. LEE, General." The Vallandigham excitement is increasing. The military court, with Gen. Burnside's concurrence, has sentenced Mr. Vallandigham to close imprison ment in Fort Warren during the war. A meeting has been held at Albany, denouncing the arrest, at which several disturbances occurred through a feel ing of opposition being known to the meeting by some soldiers returned from the war. The Go vernor of Now York sent a message to the meeting characterising Mr. Vallandighamis arrest as " an act bringing dishonour upon the country, and full of danger to our persons and homes— bearing upon its front a consc i ous v i o l a tio n o f l aw and justice." The de c i s i on o f the adminis tration, for which the Go vernor l oo ks with s o l emn solicitude, will determin e , h e says, whether the w ar is waged to put down the Southern rebellion or to destroy the Northern free institutions. A large meeting has also been held in Union square, New York, at which letters were read from the leading democrats, and speeches made and rem-. lations passed denouncing the arrest of Mr. Vallan digham. There was considerable excitement at the meeting, and a large reserve of police was at hand. No disturbance, however, took place. The New York Daily News has recommenced publication under the auspices of Mr. Benjamin Wood. It announces itself as opposed to the further prosecution of the war, and attributes to the administration purposes ulterior to the recon. struction of the Union, and not according with the spirit of republican institutions.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—Such speechea as that of Mr. Gregory last night on the affairs of Turkey are not likely to be wanting in future years. There are some evils which the wise man sees to be irremovable by any efforts that his contemporaries can make. That e e: e mill,he removed, __that their foundations are already loosened, and their - Tabric totteringehtazan well see, and he is as certain as he be of anything future that the time will come when they will have passed away. But to accelerate the tree's growth or the glacier's progression would be as easy as to force on the political development which is some times necessary to the peace and wellbeing of a country. Mr. Gregory last evening told the house the melancholy tale of Turkish tyranny and desola tion. From the despatches of Ambassadors, the reports of Consuls, the testimony of travellers, he showed that in every region, from the Danube to the Euphrates, the Turkish Administration is, as it has always been, feeble, capricious, and corrupt. Bosnia and Bulgaria, as well as Syria and the Le banon, are exposed to all that grasping Governors and intriguing underlings can effect. These things are so generally reported by all whom business or official functions have established in the East that we should be refusing human testimony its due rights if we declined to admit their truth. Nor can any reflecting man require much evidence to con vince him that Turkish authority is still a cruel wrong to the populations it rules, and to the noble ' regions they inhabit. In this matter there is a common basis of history which is admitted both by the defenders and the eccusers of the Turk. No one can i doubt that for four centuries the European pro vinces have been subjected to a rule which has de graded the Christian population, destroyed every industry but the commonest agriculture, and checked e ven this by imposts and exactions, by the insecu rity of property and the impossibility of obtaining justice at the tribunals. If this has been the state of things from time immemorial, is it likely that it has totally changed during the last 20 years, or whatever may be the term during which Turkish amendment has, according to its admirers, been in progress ? It certainly rests upon those who assert that a complete revolution has taken place in the Mussulman character to give some sa tisfactory proof of this wonderful change, for the presumption is that the instincts and habits of 1,200 years remain what they were, and have not been eradicated either by the lecturing of European statesmen or by the liberal manifestoes of the Porte. For our own part we are quite prepared to learn that in spite of the exertions of European Powers, in spite of the elaborate machinery of consuls and vice-consuls, who exercise such extraordinary func tions in Turkey, the situation of the Rayahs has been little altered for the better. Of course, to a certain extent they suffer with their Mahomedan fellow subjects. Whatever there is oppressive in the vexatious imposts of the country is felt both by Christian and Mahomedan, and there is probably little to choose between the lot of the believing and unbelieving peasants so far as regards the extor tions of his masters. But socially and legally the position of the Christian is still undoubtedly most unfortunate. Whatever Europeans may do, and however much he may be advised of his rights, he has neither the power nor the courage to place him self on an quali!y with the Mussulman. His evi dence, in spite of repeated declarations by the Porte, is rejected by the courts in many parts of the coun • try, and everywhere it is of little use to him to be able to give evidence if the judge makes it a prae lice never to believe him. The ri g ht of acquiring land is useless to men whose position before the courts of law is one of inferiority ; and it is said the ettempta of the Christians to become more gene rally possessors of the soil have in some parts aroused the strong jealousy of the Turkish popula tion. From the manner i n which the subject was treated in the House it is evident that the theory of Turkish regeneration, which was so popular 10 years ago, has been sh aken. On this theory the whole foreign policy of England has been built for the last quarter of a century. It has been up held with wonderful consis tenc y by Liberal Minis ters, even after they have been relieved from their traditional terror of the Russian Autocrat. Rely ing on it, we not only went to war for the indepen dence and integrity of the Ottoman Empire, but we have supported its Government both then and since by loans which give the public an interest in keeping up the present order of things. The fancy by which Englishmen reconciled this Mussulman partisanship to their consciences was that the Turko had been humbled by a knowledge of the strength of the Christian Powers, and enlightened by their teaching. The Sultan was a well-disposed man ; the Councils of the Porte were directed by in structed and travelled Ministers ; the Turks gene rally were willing to admit the Christians to equal rights, and if there was any ignorant opposition in the more remote provinces it might be overcome through the watchfulness of the Consuls, who would bring any violation of the Sultan's new statutes under the notice of t he Christian Ambas sadors, and thus obtain a remedy. Those who re lied on this view of the future forgot the invete racy of habit and the powerlessness of mere paper proclamations to change the policy of an Empire. All the progress which the Christians have made is to be ascribed rather to the decay than to the re generation of the Turks,—to their weakness rather than their justice. The gradual elevation of the Itayah population is the work of deeper causes than are contained in any Hatti-Sherif. Just as the progress of the Christians in wealth and in dustry has been used by philo-Turkish politicians as a statistical proof of the advance of their fa vourites, so now the struggles of the Christians towards something better in spite of the disadvan tages under which they live are given as proofs that the present domination encourages their progress. But the truth is that except by wasting away, and thus losing their hold on the Christians, the lurks have in no way contributed to any im provement in the condition of their Rayahs. It is to the continuance of this process that we must look for real progress, and not to any nominal reform of laws which are to be administered by Turkish judges and officials under the Government of a Turkish Pasha. As long as two populations, Mus sulman and Christian, are intermingled, with the one essentially dominant over the other, the idea of equal justice or social equality is the wildest of dreams. Equality between the whites and blacks of America is not more impossible than between the conquering religion and those who are tribu taries to it. DAILY NEWS.—Whatever may be the r esults, to morrow and on Monday, of the electoral c am p ai g n in France, it is tolerably certain that the operations of the last three weeks will be found to have opened a breach in the Imperial system of government.

To selfish instincts of the bourgeoisie he calls up the s pectre of revolution which .y the Second Empire could exorcise. At the same time his prefects and his sub-prefects, his mayors, his magistrates, and his rural police are busy tearing down unpatronieed addresses, threatening printers with the loss of their license, and setting a strict watch upon every step and word of independent candidates In the cities and large towns the means of cor ruption and of pressure ere more unsparingly, if not more dexterously, used in proportion to the greater resources of the Opposition. Yet M. de Persigny points complacently to the columns of the journals in which addresses impugning or denying every article of the Imperial faith are impudently (iiiplayed, and ask whether this is not public liberty P In some instances it appears that Go vernment candidates have been outhorised to hold meetings, to explain their sentiments, and to form committees; as for their placards, they have had every dead wall at their service, every printer at their orders and the public money to pay for their distribution. The addresses of the Government candidates in Paris have been printed on splendid paper, and posted to every householder at the ex pense of the State. Such is M. de Persigny's bene ficent interpretation of " the public good. Cor ruption and intimidation of some sort or other are not perhaps peculiar to France under the Empire. But corruption and intimidation on so vast a scale as this, practised by the Government at the cost of the taxpayers, and by a Government professing to be based on universal suffrage, with half-a-million functionaries at its absolute disposal, and armed with a whole arsenal of arbitrary decrees having force of laws—surely modern Europe has never seen till now. And yet, with all this mach iner y at his command for conducting and controlling "the national will," M. de Persigny is visibly discon certed at the appearance of five or six names of leaders of " the old parties" among the independent candidates. Never was there a more flagrant in stance of official zeal ! With one breath M. de Persigny, through his journals, (scoffs at the insig • mficance of these returning veterans of obsolete par ties and representatives of rejected systems, and puffs them into importance and popularity by vitu perative epithets, instead of accepting their allegi ance, welcoming their conversion, absorbing and annihilating their independence, and clasping them body and soul to the embrace of a liberal and con stitutional despotism. M.de Morny showed a keener discernment of men and things when he spoke of these eminent independent candidates as so much " ballast" to the Second Empire. For in the oath of allegiance (with whatever mental reservations, and even if they have not the almost superstitious re verence for the sanctity of this oath which M. De Persigny teaches), M. Thiers and his associates do accept the Second Empire, and not as they accepted the Republic of 1848 which they succeeded in de stroying, as an accident, a surprise, a catastrophe, but as an established government amenable to friendly criticism, and susceptible of legal reform. In coming forward as independent candidates for seats in the Legislative Chamber, the leaders of the old parties perform an act of " happy despatch" upon their political selves. To impartial observers it seems unaccountable that M. De Persigny should look an Orleanist candidate in the mouth. POST.—The first session of the first Parliament of the kingdom of Italy closed only a fortnight ago, and after an interval of ten days, the second session has already commenced. If the first session, 28 menths in duration, of the Italian Legislature, might be regarded as furnishing the measure in time for the sessions that are to follow, the consti tutional annals of Italy will soon have the advan tage over those of England, and exhibit not one, but a series of " long parliaments." The extreme length of the session just terminated arose chiefly from the fact that the amount of general legislation with which the Chambers were occupied in 1861 and 18G2 left them no time to'enter into a detailed examination of the Budget until the commencement of the present year; and although credits were granted provisionally from time to time, it was necessary that the entire Budget should be regu larly discussed and voted before the session could be brought to a legal close. The senators and deputies who last Monday assembled round King Vietor Emmanuel might look back with a feeling of, on the whole, honest satisfaction at their 28 months' work, It is true that the new State is still shorn of its capital, that the iron hand of Austria presses down more heavily perhaps than ever on the Venetian pro vinces, and that the establishment of order in the southern portion of the peninsula is a difficult and tedious task. But the moral ripening of the Roman question, from which alone Count Cavour hoped and predicted its solution, is daily making greater pro gress in the judgment of the Catholic world. On the Austrian Court itself there is beginning to strike the first faint rays of a conviction that, both politi cally and financially, the retention of Venice is, if not a positive loss, but a sorry gain ; whilst increas ing commerce, and roads, and bridges, and schools, and the press, with impartial execution of civil and criminal justice, and the mutual intercourse and con fidence which all these create, promise, in the Nea politan territory, gradually to remove the chronic causes of brigandage. and to convert the semi-bar barous Abruzzese or Calabrian peasant into an honest and useful citizen. The doggrel lines recording the social wonders worked in our own Scottish High lands by the roads of Wade may, a score of years hence, find their illustration and counterpart in some homely Neapolitan distich on the changes there wrought by the iron rails and steam cars which have already invaded Pescara, and which will before long reach Brindisi. When an Englishman proceeds to examine in detail the legislative work done in the first session of the Italian Parliament it is impos sible for him, if he be unbiassed by parl or sec tarian prejudice, to resist the conviction that the Italian senators and deputies have laboured steadily and honestly to promote the welfare of their com mon country. The measures mobilising the entire National Guard of Italy, for consolidating the sepa rate debts of the previous Governments, for regu lating the pensions of the civil functionaries, for establishing loan and deposit banks, for regulating the law of naortmain and taxing Church property, e a r introducing a uniform postal system and a uni te/ate rate of postage, for taking the general census of the population, for transferring conventional pro perty 1,,0 the Church fund, for regulating the civil list, and., above all, for conferring on Italy a vast and efficient system of railway communication — these are but the more prominent achievements of the session of the Italian Parliament that has closed. For that which has just opened sufficient work appears' .to be cut out. The land tax, the ge neral laws of customs and excise, the property tax, the discussion o f the commercial treaty with France, and of the commercial treaties with other States by which it 1. 1 to be followed, the Parlia mentary Commission oat the state of national edu cation ; but above all tlasse questions, and modify ing them all, the proposed law for settling the attributions of the provincial and communal coun cils—a measure of which the details will open up the whole question of centralbsation and local self government. In the right aeljustment of these questions the representatives Italy will find ample scope for the full emple:yment of their powers, and ample opportunities of aergely earning the gratitude of their countrymen.

Had all Mr. Christie's allegir. — isi a S t.ions been true—and we know them to be utterly* erroneous had Mr. Vereker's suspicions been confirmed, there was still no reason why, when the Brazilian Government proposed to refer the question to London, Mr. Christie should have presented an ultimatum no independent power could submit to, and on its refusal have resorted to a flagrant act of hostility. For, let it be well understood, the Brazilian Government did make this proposal, and Mr. Christie, in rho plenitude of authority delegated to him by Earl Russell, arrogently--nay, insolently—declined it. Now, have we or have we not ei - ..e policy for the weak and another for the strong? Should we have acted in this manner to France or Russia, to Italy or Spain, or the United States ? Everybody known that Earl Russell would sooner have throvivn up office thfin have committed au act of such temerity, and that is saying a great deal.

But Braz:l has no navy, Brazil is an empire still suffering from internal and arduously clearing its way through, wounds delgcluYities, such r, as never to a level pr with e sentedthe most them selves to any other powe civilised powers it the Old World. She is at our mercy on the sea; h e r internal condition renders her inoapable . of attack; we may use her ever so despitefully, but she cannot retaliate ; so the bold Mr. Christie is set on her, and a British fleet is despatched to humble and basalt her ; and the pane gyrists of_the_Government talk about the pita of Lord Palmerston and his "spirited fore i g n p olic y . " The blow was as cruel and impo litic as it was cowardly. It was cruel to a Government full of such generotis aspirations as the Government °Mom Pedro has shown itself; cruel to a people marching resolutely in the path of constitutional freedom ; cr uel to the hopes of the whole South American Continent, which in Brazil, at least, saw a stable Government,a vigorous progress, an a dvancing CiTi. ma lisation, an increasing prosperity„ i t ..*jsoli..l.i . b e cause the merest tyro in politics can or . tee day when the Possessiett ofirtriend in-Brazil will . .:.... _, _ be of the highest importance to this country ; be cause Brazil was rapidly becoming one of the best markets in the world for our manufactures, at the same time that it teemed with productions and necessities of our home consumption; because for years to bear an English name has been a password to every hospitality and to the most generous confi dence finally, from Brazilian Government and p eo p le; be cause,au and stable t h e monarchy Brazilian inGovernment mi ds t of w peaceful war ring and crumbling republics.

Christie and Vereker. Lord Russell has achieved many things during his tenure of the Foreign-office seaihs, but this is his crowning exploit. Mr. Adams ought to be in capital spirits. He may gauge with tolerztble accuracy his lord ship's servility to the Government of the United States by his courageous defiance of the Government.' of Brazil. .0* ____ ___.... The Suicide of the Lessee of the Strand Theatre. Yesterday afternoon Dr. Lankester held an in quiry into the circumstances connected with the death of Henry Valantine Smith, who was profes • sionally known by the name of " Swanborough," and who, on Wednesday morning last, cut his throat in the water-closet of his residence, from the effects of which he shortly afterwards expired. A jury was empannelled in the dining-room of the family residence, 9, Greville-place, Kilburn. After they had viewed the body, the coroner called Francis Musgrave, who said that he lived at the residence of the deceased, but was no relation to him. He had lived two years in his family as a lodger, and was musical director at the Strand Theatre. He last saw deceased alive on Wednes day morning about eleven o'clock, when he appeared in his usual health, but complained of pains in his head. He had previously complained of pains in his head, and for some time paet had been in very low spirits. He would sometimes sit in his chair for hours without speaking. The only reason wit ness could assign for the act was that the business at the theatre had not been quite so good lately as it had previously been. Deceased, however, had never expressed himself to this effect. He, to wit ness's knowledge, was certainly not in pecuniary difficulties. He had been very eccentric lately. Some time since he went up to witness's bedroom and looked in, and then went down again—a most unusual thing, as he had never been known pre viously to ascend even to the second floor. Witness was so much surprised that he actually got out of bed and watched if he went to his own room again. He was a married man, and lived happily with his wife. He had one daughter, living with him. Witness had never heard of any insanity existing in the family. Deceased had never been the same person, in witness's opinion, since he had had a fit some six weeks ago. He was by no means a bet ting man. Deceased had been deaf for 16 years, but he seemed to labour under the impression that he would regain his hearing, and frequently spoke of it with apparent pleasure. On the day of his death he ate a very hearty breakfast, and appeared as usual. -- Sarah Taylor said she was cook to the deceased. She last saw him alive on Wednesday morning about nine o'clock. Two or three hours after that the housemaid told her that deceased was in the water-closet on the second floor, and had been there a very long time, and that the door was fastened. She went up stairs and listened at the door and heard deceased breathing loudly. She then made Miss Swanborough acquainted with what had hap pened and of her suspicions. They sent for the gardener, who forced the doo r o p en, and they then discovered the deceased sitting on the floor with a razor in his hand. They instantly sent for a doctor, and witness herd deceased's head until he arrived. Dr. Cleveland, of the Edgware-road, said ho was called to deceased about half-past twelve on Wed hoanto d o e o a c t a h . inches long, which extended . hispos tnuerceki n about the w a five g under the left jaw. c n l e o s s d e a t y , a . t I d i{ h e ad was a wound in a s it t i i n il H e was perfectly unconscious, and loss r o i tei a si eo s vf t e a di t , state of col lapse.
