The writs commanding the elections have been issued, and after much expense have been placed in the hands of the returning officers. Thereon the Daily News moralises. We cling to old customs, old traditions, and ancient usages. It is doubtful whether any material change has been Made with regard to the issue of these writs since the 12th of December, 1264, when the Earl of Leicester first called together an English Parliament. The same phrases, ceremonies, and circumlocution. The heralds are still employed at Edinburgh. Not withstanding the printing press, the documents are still written. Notwithstanding the use of the rail way, there is the same time allowed for the messages to travel to the farthest parts of the kingdom. Tele graphic wires are yet unused, and a great sum of money is spent. The Daily News suggests that a short Act of Parliament should abolish all this expen sive routine and the sinecures in connection with it, and substitute a more economical system. In doing this, other economies may be suggested which will be of good to the country. THE CANDIDATES FOR MIDDLESEX ---- - There is a very pretty little quarrel going on just now between Lord Enfield and Mr. Labouchere, the candidates for Middlesex. Mr. Labouchere seems to have a love of quarrels, or he is very unfortunate. Not very long ago he attracted the attention of Homburg by a row which he had in the Kursaal with a man who, he said, was not fit to associate with ladies. Now he has quarrelled with Lord Enfield. What it is all about one can hardly understand with only Mr. Labouchere's story before us. But it would seem as if Lord Enfield wanted to spend all the money and have all the arrangements in his own hands. To this Mr. Labouchere would not agree, except on condition that he should be allowed to inform his friends of the arrangement. Lord Enfield objected. High words, or low language— Saxon English, Mr. Harvey Lewis would call it— seems to have followed. Mr. Labouchere called my lord " a sneak," and similar compliments were passed. The result is that the candidates are separated in their canvass. A meeting of the electors has been held asking for an explanation. Lord Enfield would not attend, but Mr. Labouchere presented the explanation. Ultimately a motion was carried, " That at the en suing election for Middlesex the electors be urged and recommended to give their votes to both Liberal can didates." SIGNS OF THE TIMES. The Rev. Prebendary Wilkinson has been making a remarkable speech at a Glastonbury meeting in favour of the Liberal candidates for Mid -Somerset. Of Mr. Disraeli he said that with him politics are not a part of religion. Younger men may accept him as a consummate actor, older men remember too much. Mr. Gladstone, with all his faults, was honest, and had followed the dictates of conscience to his own hurt. He had changed, but had never gained by the change. The speaker candidly announced his conviction, amid great cheering, that the days of all religious esta blishments in this country were numbered. Let us not vainly attempt to check the advance of the prin ciples of religious equality, nor fight against God's moral government of the world. He begged that they would not abuse those who read the signs of the times, and he prophesied a glorious future for the Church if the State left her alone. The Rector of Lanivet has thrown in his lot with those who desire the disestablishment of the Irish Church. At a meeting on behalf of Mr. Gower, the Liberal candidate for Bodmin, the reverend gentleman stated that never in his life had he voted for a Liberal, but that now he should support the came. He said : " The State Church in Ireland had been a standing grievance to the Irish, a Church thrust on the people, nine-tenths of whom were Roman Catholics, and who grudgingly paid the tithe for the support of the worship of the other tenth." MR. BUXTON. It is a pity that the election for East Surrey can not be conducted without reference to the Jamaica insurrection. Mr. Buxton is reported to have said : " When the negroes were in possession of the east end of the island (Jamaica),with the exception of one obnoxious person, they did not kill a single white man." This statement has before this been made by .X.r. Buxtgia. Paid contraclidA in a A MISERABLE DEFENCE. The electors of the Falkirk Burghs objected to the conduct of their candidate, Mr. Merry, m running a horse at some Paris races on a Sunday. His defence is that he did it only once, that he won the Grand Prix, that he was not there himself, and that he did not repeat the offence because he found the electors objected to it. This conscien tious man will be appreciated in Parliament as another wit, should he be returned ; but his argu ments will not have much weight if this is the axle of them. AN INTERESTING STUDY. Rather an interesting investigation is opened up . by the Beehive. Our contemporary, in the style which is much admired by some newspaper readers, declares that the spirits of our f ore f at h ers are watching our actions at the coming elections. The ghosts of John Milton and Oliver Cromwell are at our elbow , and they are anxiously awaiti ng our vote. The Beehive thinks that no man can doubt how the author of "Paradise Lost " and how " Old Noll" would vote, were they yet alive. But these are only two. Which side would Shakspcare have taken ? Maybe " the Venerable Bede " would have been on John Stuart Mill's committee. What do Hengist and Horsa, looking down upon us, think of Mr. Disraeli ? Caractacus may perhaps be deploring on behalf of the Irish clergy that men who live in such magnificence in England should envy the humble parsonage in Ireland. Here is a fine field for the mystic and the spiritualist. A RETIRING MAYOR. During the late political excitement, the chief magistrates of the different boroughs have had con siderable difficulty in directing their course. The Lord Mayor of London retired from his office in popular disgrace, and the formal vote of thanks was with difficulty recorded. The Mayor of Wisbeach, how ever, has been such a thorough partisan, and has con ducted himself with so little discretion, that he preferred to be absent from the council on the day of the election of his successor, stating his reasons in a letter which was read amid hisses. The customary vote of thanks was omitted, and his name was taken off all the committees with the exception of those including the whole council. We believe this Con servative gentleman has attained a distinction beyond any of his brethren in the kingdom. MURDER WILL OUT. There was a queer story told the other day about Messrs. Bell, Gibbons, and Twells, the Conservative candidates for the City of London. The Licensed Victuallers waited on these gentlemen, were received graciously, and listened to with atten tion. While the conference was going on, the Licensed Victuallers' Asylum was mentioned. The candidates professed to be much interested, and asked " the nature of the institution." The whole thing was explained to them. Their sympathy was brought forth. They cordially agreed with the idea of the institution. What should they do to help it on ? Give ten guineas apiece. So ten guineas on behalf of each candidate was handed over to the institution. This would have been all very well but for the near approach of the elections. Messrs. Bell, Gibbons, and Twells had a perfect right to subscribe to the asylum. Only, as it happens, there is a powerful body of publicans in the City, and the whole thing looks like bribery. Next day the candidates, reading the report in the Stan dard, seem to have been struck with the fact that they had made a mistake ; so -the Stcmdard was instructed to deny the account which itself has pub lished. The denial was given. But, unfortunately, facts cannot be thus smothered. And, now that the story is re-asserted in the Liberal journals what have the worthy candidates to say to it ? LIVERPOOL ELOQUENCE. The Rev. Dr. Lowe has been giving a lecture upon the Irish Church. His audience was a Liverpool one, and very enthusiastic. He drew an alarming picture of the state of the Irish Protestants if their Church were disestablished and clisendowed. There was not one rebel heart among them, he said. They were few in numbers, but, for all Englishmen hold dear, of infinitely greater value than the ignorant and super stitious 'multitude by whom they were surrounded. Then the rev. doctor broke forth into the Old Bailey style : "I plead for the little ones, the lambs of Christ. Deprive them not of the fostering care of the faithful pastor. Leave them not in their tender years to the scoffs and the jeers and the allure ments of, the Papal persecutors who surround them. I plead for their aged parents. speak not to llomanists or infidels or atheists, who consistently combine together to perpetrate this crime, but I speak to Churchmen ; I speak to Protestants of all denominations ; I speak to the children of God. I beseech you by all that you hold sacred, by the supremacy of the Word of God, by the eternal and immutable principle of right, by the value of immortal souls, by the honour of the Saviour's name, draw back from this foul con spiracy, wash your hands from these contemplated crimes, this accumulated wrong, and rouse yourselves to the rescue of your fellow-Christians, to the vindi cation of the truth of G od." Burke impeaching Warren Hastings was nothing to this. Perhaps, in the interests of the public peace, the rev, gentleman should be placed in confinement till the elections are over. THE PRIMACY. The other day the Morning Advertiser stated that a correspondent had learnt from a high quarter that the Bishop of London having refused the Primacy, the Archbishop of York had accepted it, and that the Bishop of Os ford was to go to York. This was largely quoted, and we noticed the report, at the same time expressing strong doubts as to its authen ticity. After that the Globe, supposed to be the recipient of official confidence, announced the appointment of Dr. Thomson to Canterbury, and of Dr. Wilberforce to York. A few hours passed, and a contradiction appeared in its latest edition. The announcement was a hoax. Not dis couraged bythese warnings, the Daily News has reason to believe that the Bishop of Ely is to be the new archbishop. This is not a bad guess, if only a guess, for such an appointment would perhaps conciliate the various parties in the Church more than any other. It would be a delicate task for Mr. Disraeli to choose the Primate before the elections. After them he may be inclined to take a bold course and choose the best man, whoever he is. LAMBETH PALACE GROUNDS. A letter has been addressed by Mr. Arthur Arnold to the Premier, and acknowledged by the right honourable gentleman, suggesting that several acres of ground might be detached from Lambeth Palace for public recreation, without impairing the dignity of the archiepiscopal residence ; such apportionment of the land should be made before the property of the see is conveyed to the new archbishop ; or, if this be not practicable, that his consent should be ensured to any subsequent act or deed necessary to secure to the public this great and very needful benefit. During his service as Government Inspector of Public Works in Lancashire, Mr. Arnold was much impressed with the importance of public parks for the people's health. THE WESTMINSTER POOR. The benevolent in the various parts of the metro polis are making appeals on behalf of the food in view of the approaching winter. The other day Lady Herbert asked the help of the public for the Roman Catholic poor of Westminster ; now Canon Conway appeals on behalf of the rest of the poor. Poverty, he states to be a chronic dis order in the neighbourhood ; it is one of the chief resorts of the beggars and thieves of London ; yet there is a large population of coster mongers and others struggling honestly for a living. Canon Conway appeals to his wealthy neighbours for money and clothing. Perhaps the Canon's conscience troubles him when he remembers the sort of population which lives on the eccle siastical property of the collegiate church of St. Peter, and that within a stone's throw of that gorgeous ecclesiastical monument there are scenes of squalor, drunkenness, and misery which rival the worst phases of East-end life. The difficult ques tion of "the poor" we shall have always with us, still unsolved, when great political struggles may be over t and we shall find private charity to be but a drop m the ocean. THE POPE'S OPINION OF ENGLAND. "Men's evil manners live in brass." The Pope has Just been passing judgment upon the conduct of England in the Dano-German war of 1864. Visiting Civita Vecchia a few days ago, he made speeches to the Danish and English Consuls. To the first he said : " You represent, monsieur, a Power, the geographical extent of which is very limited, but which has astonished the whole world by the noble courage with which it defended its rights against those Powers which abused their strength to destroy them." Then, turning to the English Consul, his Holiness re marked: " England, monsieur, did wrong, very wrong, to abandon Denmark, which it w: - .s both her duty and her interest to sustain. It was a proc ee di ng which cannot be Condemned too strongly, for it was fatal both to Denmark and Poland. If she con tinue in such a course, England will too late find that she is degraded." The assembly thronged so close to hear these speeches that the pressure shook the plat form of the throne, giving the Pope a violent shock. By an adroit movement, says the Pall Mall Gazette, he prevented himself from being thrown down, and cried out to his alarmed smite, ", nothing ; the Pope's throne may fall, but the Pope lifinself will never
