A week ago I stated my conviction that, all rumours to the contrary notwithstanding, the elections would be com pleted in November, and Parliament would have time to hold an ante-Christmas session. That conviction your readers will see was well founded, and it is now probable that members will take the oaths even before the first of December. Politicians are now making up their books, and calculating the majority which Mr. Gladstone will have. That he will have a considerable majority is admitted by both parties ; but the number varies from 30 to 130. This wide diversity is due to several causes. One of them is the increasing divisions among the Liberal party. Scarcely a day passes but what some fresh Liberal candidate starts up to do battle with a Liberal. In Marylebone, for instance, there are now four Liberal candidates contending against each other, and the consequence is that Mr. Stanford, an old Conservative ex-M.P., has come forward, in the hope of profiting by this schism. Even old and tried Liberals, who have h€ld office in Liberal Administrations, like Sir William Hutt, are opposed, and both he and another Wig ex-official, Mr. Bouverie, find themselves compelled to go to the poll after about a quarter of a century's unopposed elections. This is one source of hope to the Conservative party. Another reason which induces them to place the Opposition at the low figure above mentioned is the strong Conservative feeling which has been found to exist among the working men of Lancashire. I hear of this from politicians of both sides, and both seem equally surprised at it. The upper stratum of this class, such as foremen and viewers, are undoubtedly Liberal ; these possessed the franchise before. But the lower stratum, who are now enfranchised for the first time, have displayed an amount of downright Toryism which has amazed no one more than the Tory leaders themselves. They used to talk of the Conservative working man, but they did not believe in him. Now, however, they find that he is not entirely the man of straw they thought him. This unexpected deposit of Conservatism appears to be due to several causes. In the first place, the working classes have not forgotten nor forgiven the oppo sition which was offered by the manufacturers to the Ten Hours' Bill and the subsequent Factory Acts, The bene fits of that measure are now seen to be so great that those who have profited by them are irritated by the thought that any one should have attempted to deprive them of those advantages. In the next place, there is always an anta gonism between the foremen class and the ordinary operatives, so that if the first had been Conservatives it is very probable that the second would have been Liberals. Thirdly, the conduct of Lord Derby and several other distinguished Conservative noblemen during the cotton famine contrasted in a very marked manner with the conduct of certain well-known manufacturers, of Liberal opinions, and not at all to the advantage of the latter. Lastly, there is in Lancashire a war of races and creeds of which sour readers living in other parts of England can have no conception. It is this antago nism which makes a measure like the disestablishment of ' the Irish Church tell greatly against the Liberal party. That measure is doubly objectionable. It is in the esti 'nation of the working man a concession to Irishmen ; it is a concession to Popery ; and therefore it is that a large number of them will probably make the first use of the franchise by giving it to the Conservative candidates. In consequence of these and other causes too numerous to mention, the Conservatives expect to win several seats which an ordinary observer would have supposed safe for the Liberals. My 'Yory friends tell me that they are safe for one seat in Manchester and even in Salford, which has never yet returned a Liberal. In the latter borough a large number of operatives are canvassing, when their day's work is over, without payment, in behalf of the Con servative candidates. For the county seats in Lancashire the contest will be very severe. Lord Derby is devoting all his energies, and a very large sum of money, to defeat ing Mr. Gladstone in one division and the Cavendish interest in another. Some time ago it was confi dently expected that Mr. Gladstone would be beaten, but the registrations have been sa far favourable that the result is extremely doubtful. Mr. Gladstone, I know, is tolerably sanguine, and has written within the last few days to an influential member of the late Govern ment expressing satisfaction at the progress he has made ; but there is no doubt that the contest will be very close, and the Liberal party' have prepared for the worst by amalgamating the Gladstone committee with the Salo- mons committee at Greenwich, and rigidly suppressing all superfluous Liberal candidates. This is absolutely neces sary, as I happen to know that when a third Liberal candidate was talked of, a young artillery officer at Greenwich immediately began canvassing in the Conser vative interest, and obtained a large number of promises. Now that the Liberals have closed their ranks he has withdrawn. In North Lancashire, where the Houses of Stanley and Cavendish are fighting, the Marquis of liar tington is spending £l,OOO a week. In Carlisle the con test will be very keen. Dean Close's manifesto has frightened a large number of Churchmen who ordinarily vote for the Liberals, and Sir Wilfrid Lawson will have to fight hard to prevent a repetition of the defeat which he sustained in 1865. Per contra, at Frome Mr. Hughes will walk over the course, for Mr. Walmesley has retired. This is d ue i n som e measure to the conduct of the vicar, Mr. Bennett, who was so disgusted with the treatment which he received at the last vestry meeting from the Low Church and Con servative party, that he has withdrawn from politics alto gether, and has even taken his name off the books at Oxford, so that he will not vote for Mr. Mowbray. At Canterbury the election excites unusual interest from the fact that Mr. Butler-Johnstone, who has for some time past disavowed Mr. Disraeli's leadership, has at last openly joined the Liberal ranks, as another clever young Oxonian, Mr. Auberon Herbert, had done before him. Both stood as Conservatives at the last election ; both stand as Liberals now. In this they do but represent the "Young Oxford" party, do but set forth visibly the rapid and startling change which has come over that once most Tory university—a change which has driven forth from its professoriate, Mr. Goldwin Smith, Mr. Thorold Rogers, Mr. Congreve, and which would perfectly amaze some of the old-fashioned country clergy, who remember Oxford in the days of the " Tracts." Of all the elections, none, except South-west Lanca shire, excites half the interest that the Oxford University does. There again the contest will be very severe. The Liberals have picked out the very best man they could have chosen. The same can hardlrbe said for the Con servatives—at least if it can it does not speak well for Conservative statesmanship. The issue, however, will not depend entirely, perhaps not chiefly upon the personal merits of the candidates. The matter is complicated by theological considerations. For instance, Sir Roundell Palmer is a High Churchman, and will receive the support of Dr. Pusey, and no doubt of Mr. Liddon (though the Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol intended to make every effort to convert the latter distinguished divine when at Gloucester yesterday). But in spite of this support, Sir Roundell Palmer is likely to receive the support of a large number of the Low Church party, who profess themselves disgusted at the recent Church appointments of the present Govern ment. That the Bishop of Carlisle should canvass in behalf of Sir Roundell Palmer is not surprising, consider. ing that Sir Roundell married Bishop Waldegrave's sister. But other well-known Low Churchmen who supported Mr. Hardy in 1865 mean to support the ex-Attorney-General on the present occasion. Among them is Canon Champ neys. On the other hand, Bishop Anderson has promised to join Mr. Mowbray's committee. While Mr. Disraeli fully expects to be beaten at the elections, he is not at all cast down. He has carried on Government with a minority for more than two years, and he sees no reason why he should not continue to do so. The Irish Church question is, of course, hopeless. He knew that long ago ; he knew that directly he saw the Noncon formists were not to be converted by the cry of "No Popery." Even Sir Stafford Northcote now refuses to pledge himself to vote against disestablishment. What has passed in the Cabinet within the Cabinet — what the triumvirate have determined to do, the public has yet had no means of knowing, for neither Mr. Hardy nor Lord Stanley has yet spoken on the question of the day. But I have very good reason to believe that the Premier is contemplating another great coup, another great feat of strategy, by which he will once more "dish" the Liberals. This is not the adoption of the Ballot — though that will probably be very shortly an article of the Conservative creed—but the introduction of a large measure of tenant-right in Ireland. He believes that the land, far more than the Church question, is the source of Irish discontent ; so, while Mr. Gladstone is ham mering away in speech after bpeech at the Lich Church, proving what no real statesman can deny, though he may affect to do so, Mr. Disraeli is quietly engaged in working out a great measure for pacifying her Majesty's subjects in Ireland, which will probably be laid upon the table on he first night of the session. With this measure he hopes to render it impossible for the Liberal party to act together. The Irish Liberal members and the English Radicals will, he believes, refuse to support a vote of want of confidence in the Ministry which has PROPOSED MEMORIAL OF LEIGH HUNT. The grave of Leigh Hunt--one of England's most charming Poets, Essayists, and Critics—at Kensal Green, is without even a headstone. It has been proposed to erect there a modest Monument to his memory. Mr. Joseph Durham, A.R.A., has been selected to execute a Portrait Bust and Pedestal. SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE SOLICITED for the purpose.

It will be the old policy again—a professedly Tory Minister dividing his oppo nents by offering them Liberal measures which they cannot rsject, and persuading his supporters to accept those measures as the only :means of keeping in (ace. Divide et impera is Mr. Disraeli's motto and policy. Of course, Conservative principles are scattered to the winds. But then the Conservative leader is a Radical at heart—a cunning master of oratory, who knows that he can always make the " stupid party " do what he likes if he will only give them high-sounding phrases—" vital principles "—to satisfy them. Should Mr. Disraeli be unsuccessful, and the Liberal party prove as united as they did in 1859, Mr. Gladstone will find his difficulties by no means surmounted. The most powerful influence would be exerted to keep the Pre miership out of his hands, and to place it in those of Earl Granville. The " influential quarters "—one is obliged to use these awkward periphrases in speaking of such delicate matters—though differing in ecclesiastical matters, are agreed in political ; and would both desire, if the pre sent Government were :compelled to resign, a new version of the old Whig family Ministries, such as would include Lord Granville and Lord Clarendon. But lam inclined to think that popular feeling will prove too strong, and that the nation will insist upon the leader of the Liberal party de jure being leader de facto. The Stock Exchange killed Mr. Gladstone on Tuesday. The news that he had died suddenly was spread far and wide. Fortunately the electric telegraph enables one to contradict a lie almost as soon as it is uttered. It had not even a chance of the twenty-four hours' life which the First Napoleon said was all that was needed to get a lie accepted as an historical fact. A telegram to Liverpool brought back almost immediate information that the story was utterly false. The next day's papers shewed that the Liberal leader was very much alive indeed—l was going to say almost too much so, for his speeches now are becoming a little wearisome. Some of your readers will perhaps sympathise with the disappointment of those clergymen who had already begun to write their sermons in which the awful fate of the modern Pilate—Herod— Judas—Devil—was set forth with forty-parson power, as a warning to all sacrilegious statesmen who venture to touch that sacred ark, the revenues of the Irish Church. By the way it may, be news to some of those gentlemen that Mr. Gladstone's second son is working as a curate in one of the poorest parishes of Lambeth. I have spoken of the episcopal appointments of the pre. sent Government. They are a good deal discussed, both with regard to the past and the future. The long delay which took place in the appointment to Peterborough was due to the urgency with which Dean Stanley's promotion was desired in a very influential quarter. Mr. Disraeli had to summon up all his firmness to resist that appoint ment. He argued that Dr. Stanley was a distinguished Liberal, and that his appointment by a Conservative Government would be fatal to that Government. The Premier had to resist great pressure from another quarter which was exerted in behalf of Archdeacon Denison, and who is now spoken of as a likely successor to the aged Bishop of Exeter. Dean Magee owes his promotion chiefly to the strong recommendation of Mr. Walpole. It is a mistake to suppose that he is the Low Churchman he has been described. His orthodoxy is vouched for, not only by Mr. Walpole, but by the Bishop of Oxford and the Bishop of Salisbury. Should the archiepiscopal see of Canterbury become vacant shortly—which, 1 fear, is somewhat probable, for private information tells me that Archbishop Longley is in a state to inspire much appre hension, though lie is somewhat better this morning— Mr. Disraeli, if he should be in office, will in all probability translate the Bishop of Oxford. if Lord Derby had continued Premier, Bishop Selwyn would'have had the best chance. Should Mr. Giao - be the Premier, Bishop Jacobson would be the most likely to get the metropolitanship. Dean Stanley's great ambition is to be made Bishop'of Oxford, where he might assist the Liberal movement to which he is so ardently devoted. It is just possible, therefore, that a Liberal Government would make way for him by pro moting Bishop Wilberforce. Such an arrangement might meet with approval in the influential quarter before men , tioned, and at the same time not be viewed with dissatis ' faction in another quarter only less influential where the ecclesiastical sympathies are in quite another direc tion, as those who were at All Saints' Church, Margaret. street, last Sunday, might have seen. I hear bad news of the Dowager Duchess of Sutherland. Her Grace was the sister of the late Earl of Carlisle, and was the most beautiful of all the ladies who shed their grace on the Court of Queen Victoria when her Majesty came to the throne. The Duchess is now in a very pre carious state: She was born in 1806, and was married in 1823 to the second duke, who died seven years ago. Her daughters are the wives respectively 'of the Duke of Argyll, Lord Blantyre, the Marquis of Kildare, and Earl , Grosvenor. Another addition was made yesterday to the handsome churches of the West End. The church of St. Mary Magdalen, Paddington, was opened, and no fewer than six services were held in it and the temporary church. There were enormous congregations, and a large number of persons were unable to obtain admittance at the chief service, the midday celebration, when Mr. Carter, of Clewer, wasthe preacher. The ritual here would be thought advanced by a Low Churchman probably ; but a Purchas or a Greenwell would think it very defective. There is no incense used, nor are coloured vestments worn. The chief feature of the church is the great height of the altar, which is raised ten steps above the nave, and is surmounted by a very beautiful reredos. The church when completed will have cost £30,000. At present about £20,000 have been spent on it, and the greater portion of this sum, together with the sum for providing endowment, and another large sum for purchasing ground for erecting schools, have been raised in less than four years, and in addition to the stipends of four or five clergy, through the voluntary offerings of a congregation less than five hundred in number. The offertories have fre quently been over £5OO on a single day. The church will not be consecrated at present. The High Church clergy no longer attach the importance to this ceremony which they used to attach. They find an advantage in postponing it, since it gives them greater freedom, both from the bishop and from any " aggrieved parishioners." In the above mentioned church there is a daily celebration of the Holy Communion, and three or four celebrations on Sunday. At the luncheon, after the opening service, there was a large gathering of the clergy and laity. Two clerics were conspicuous by their absence. One was Mr. Bennett, of Frome, who, being under prosecution for heresy on the part of the Bishop of London, takes no part in any service in that diocese, in accordance with ecclesiastical etiquette. The other absentee was Arch deacon DenisOn, who, at a gathering of the same congrega tion a few months back, made a speech so inappropriately political, that his absence was probably no source of regret yesterday. I should add that Mr. Street is the architect of this church, and returned thanks to the toast of his health. lam told that this gentleman is to receive £lO,OOO a year for five years as architect of the New Law tourts. Mr. Goldwin Smith's lecture on the Earl of Chatham last night was well attended. Mr. Dickens's readings are crammed to overflowing, so that Messrs. Chappell will, I should think, make a good thing of him, though they have to pay him £BO a night for one hundred nights. At that rate Mr. Dickens will not do so badly either. Another well-known reader has lately joined the Roman Catholic Church, having been taken over by his wife. His conversion is not yet openly announced, but he has given up the chapel of which he was incumbent. As he will now consider himself a layman, I should not be surprised to learn that he had been translated from the pulpit to the footlights. He has long had a passionate desire to go on the stage, and his very dramatic reading shews that he has qualifications for the theatre such as I scarcely think he possessed for the Church. Two other items of London gossip I may deal with. Miss Alderson (the daughter of Baron Alderson) is not the author of the articles on the "Women of the Period" in the Saturday Review. The writer is a lady well known to the public under her own name, and she has been not a little pained at the severe strictures which have been passed upon her strictures. She wrote them with the best motive, and they certainly have produced a very marked effect upon London society, where the loud, cigar-smoking " girl of the period" is going out of fashion. The other item is another contradiction. Mr. Robert Browning is not going to be married to Miss Jean Ingelow, nor to any other lady. I must compress my literary news into the smallest compass. Messrs. Hurst and Blackett are just publishing a novel, " Brothers-in-Law," by a new author, a Bath lady, who has written in several of the q uarterlies. The same firm have just published another Bath lady's (Miss Jolly's) new book, "Pearl," and it is well spoken of. A third lady novelist in the same city, the authoress of " Son and Heir" and "Kingsford," is engaged on a new tale. Mr. Murray is publishing the lives of Lord Lynd hurst and Lord Brougham, which we now learn for the first time that Lord Campbell wrote before his death, which preceded theirs by two years in the one case, and seven in the other. Messrs. Black are publishing a life of Professor Goodsir, the cmlent Edinburgh professor. Messrs. Strahan are bringing out a selection from the works of John Henry New man. Lady Herbert has just written a life of St. Monica, the mother of St. Augustine. The well known firm of Smith and Elder have just dissolved partnership. There was no " Elder" really in the firm. Mr. George Smith, the proprietor of the Pall Mall Gazette, continues the publishing business ; his late partner, Mr. King, will carry on the banking and East Indian business.
