He seems never to feel discouraged under the most adverse circum stances. And of all qualities noticeable in a public man, this is precisely the one that the most readily appeals to, and instantaneously captivates, the popu lar imagination. Of his resplendent possession of it, last evening afforded the latest, and beyond all comparison the most signal illustration. A con queror going forth to victory at the head of a serried phalanx of fighting men armed every one of them to the teeth with Snider, Needle-gun, or Chassepot, against irregular hordes of painted savages sounding gongs and brandish ing daggers of lath, is the illustration, suggested by himself, of his own position at this mo ment, when he and his party are upon the very eve of that General Election in which they are to measure strength with their political anta gonists. In pugilistic phraseology the Cham pion certainly must be allowed to " come up smiling" to the encounter. His cheerfulness, under the most discouraging circumstances, dispels for the moment the bitterest antagonism. Mr. GLADSTONE, himself, might (for once) have listened to the Prime Minister's oration last night in the ancient Guildhall of the City of London, with a sense of com plancy. The good humour of it was some thing exhilirating. As for the Premier's imper turbable temper—even under the most gall ing taunts and during the most irritating discussions —that has long since been recognized, far and wide, among friends and foes indiscriminately. And it has been so recognized perhaps all the more readily because of its contrasting so very conspicuously with the morbid sensitiveness to attack, whether direct or indirect, manifested at all times by Mr. DISRAELI'S principal rival, of whom it must even be added that he is also Mr. DISRAELI'S principal vituperator. Good humour and good temper, however, were not the only agreeable characteristics of the First Lord of the Treasury's manner yesterday, when re turning thanks for himself and his colleagues at the Lord Mayor's banquet upon that old immemorial feast of the ninth of November. Even in his reciprocation of conventional compliments and courtesies there became manifest more than once while he was speak ing that delightful blending of insinuated persiflage and half - suggested badinage, which, in his double capacity as Leader of the House of Commons and Prime Minister of England, constitutes Mr. DISRAELI the worthy successor, in those com bined positions, of Lord PALMERSTON. Only there is added to all this, in the now Premier's manner of address and Ministerial position as facile princeps among the ablest of his colleagues in the Cabinet, an audacity to which Lord PALMERSTON never had any pretension, and in the display of which ; at great political crises like the present, Mr. DISRAELI has never been approached, and, we cannot but think also, is simply unapproachable. If conclusive evi dence of this were required, what could come to us more aptly by way of illustration than that passage occurring in the very middle of the Prime Minister's speech last evening, where he said --" And I hope that when this day next year I have the honour of responding to the toast of her MAJESTY'S Govern ment" a sentence interrupted at once by great laughter and a burst of cheering ! Had Mr. GLAD STONE been present, among the loudest of the laughers no doubt would have been the Leader of the Oppo sition. And yet —time was, and that not so very long ago either, when similar laughter would as certainly have been awakened by the bare suggestion, from any one's lips, of the notion that Mr. DISRAELI would ever have responded at that board or anywhere ehe, for her 'MAJESTY'S Government, in the supreme po;ition of First Minister of the Crown. Besides which, in re 4ard to Mr. DISRAELI'S hypothetical forecast, there 's that old world phrase about—many a true word being spoken in jest. While in reference to the laughter it awakened, there is that other old world phrase about—laughing on the wrong side of the :nouth. Nay, the Premier himself reverted a little later on, when his speech was drawing towards its THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 0, 1.68. conclusion, to the evident amusement awakened by his previous reference to the chance or prospect even of what might happen there in the Guildhall a twelvemonth afterwards. "I observed," he said, " a laugh, when I alluded to the possibility— and I will treat it as a probability—of my return ing thanks for this toast this time next year" Laughter, again, and—cheering ! " I may have taken," he added, " Although a fair view of the state of the country, perhaps a sanguine one of the state of the Ministry ; but 1 must say that I have confidence that the people, in the exercise of their franchise, will arrive at a just and fair conclusion ; and, under these circumstances, I hope, whatever may be my conviction, that no one will question my right to en tertain it." He immediately afterwards went on to remark upon the " rampant prophecies" with which, he said, during these last six months we have been favoured. Under all these adverse prophecies—ram pant prophecies, as he has just called them—it is thus that he consoles himself. "I have never," he says, myself been of opinion, and certainly neither myself nor my colleagues have thought we could at all have arrived at a solution of this great problem by an nouncing beforehand our opinion of what would occur. I have never found," he even goes on to say, " boastfulness and bragadoccio to avail under these circumstances. Our opponents, indeed, have settled everything. They have exhausted all the arts of unanimous audacity ; but, my Lord Mayor, I I think I have read somewhere that it is the custom of undisAplined hosts, on the eve of _battle, to anticipate and celebrate their triumph by horrid sounds and hideous yells—by the noise of cymbals, the beating of terrible drums, and the shrieks and screams of barbaric horns. But when the struggle comes, and the fight takes place, it is sometimes found that the victory is not to them, but to those who are calm and collected—the victory is to those who have arms of precision—to the breech loader, the rocket brigade, and the Armstrong Artil lery." Taunted with having no policy, he declared, for himself and his colleagues, that "their policy is to maintain the Constitution of their country." As a crowning touch of good humour upoa the very eve of the whole country being given up to the turmoil of the General Election immediately afterwards, the First Lord of the Treasury, when closing his remarks by proposing the Lord Mayor's health, addressed him self thus to that functionary with inimitable gravity, in droll allusion to his Liberal candidature for the me tropolitan borough of Lambeth—" You have shown," he said, " my Lord Mayor, in your conduct of the business of the evening, how competent you are for the great office which you fill; and I am sure you will give me creditfor heartfelt sincerity, when I assure you that it is my earnest wish that :;during the next year you will be able to devote to the great Corpora tion of which you are the head your undivided attention." No wonder those words —gravely, almost feelingly delivered—were greeted at their close with a roar of laughter. Certainly Mr. DISRAELI puts the gayest face upon it, and with do affectation what ever of good temper—a good temper, so perfect of its kind, that even from his foes, at the very moment, tco, when he is about to close with them in deadly conflict, he wins evidences of admiration ! By this day week the elections in most of the English boroughs will have been decided. As the great day draws near the struggle becomes more exciting, the interesting incidents more numerous. Constituencies which have long been uncontested are undergoing the ordeal of a conflict. Constitu encies in which the representation has been for many years in the hands of one party, or divided equally between two parties, are rebelling against time-honoured arrangements, and the new electors are asserting their claim to choose whom they will. There is East Cornwall, for instance, which for sixteen years has returned a Liberal and a Conservative. Here the leaders of parties, influenced by family reasons, had de termined to continue the truce, but have found the people too strong for them. The Liberal chiefs have been compelled to bring out a second man, and he has met with such support that the Conservative M.P. has been compelled to retire, and the county will now be cast entirely for the Liberal party. There is Brighton, where Professor FAWCETT is fighting against a host of candidates, and still more against the shopkeepers, who are up in arms against the advocate of co-operation. There is the City of London, where enlightened Conservatism of the first constituency in the kingdom condescends to complain of the German-sounding names of two of the Liberal candidates—a GOSCHEN and a RoTHSCHILD. There is Athlone, where six candidates, all calling themselves Liberals, are contesting for the honour of representing the consti tuency which Mr. REARDEN, the Piccadilly auc tioneer, has rendered famous. There is Blackburn, where intimidation and violence have attained to a pitch that is truly Irish, although the philosophers of the Fortnightly Review have taken especial pains to instruct the electors in their duties. There is Woodstock, where Mr. Bnounic K, the Liberal son of a Conservative peer, is doing battle with the Blenheim interest, while all Oxford looks on. There is Oxford itself, where there is a battle less upon political than personal issues, and where the chair man of the Liberal candidate is a High Tory marquis, who believes that Sir ROUNDELL PALMER, in having at an immense sacrifice voted against his party, is more likely to prove true to the Church than the party which shouts for Church and Queen, as it once shouted against the " degradation " of the franchise. There is North Devon, where Sir STAFFORD NORTHCOTE finds himself in an unplea sant predicament because he will not repeat with regard to the Irish Church the blunder which he made respecting household suffrage—the blunder of pledging himself that under no circumstances will he consent to a measure which he may hereafter have to support. There is \viscount AMDERLEY, the heir of the statesmen RUSSELLS, who is fighting against Toryism in a constituency which has returned no Liberal since the first Reform Bill, and that man his father, and he rejected on seeking re-elec tion. There is Northampton, where Mr. BRADLAUGH, the infidel, thinks that he is doing the Liberal party good service by coming forward as a Liberal to oppose the Liberal interest. There is Plymouth, where the founder of the Merchant Company is trying to pass upon the constituencies addition sums that will not " prove." There is South-west Lan cashire, where the Liberal leader is fighting a gallant and uncertain fight against the combined influences of immense territorial possessions and a purse of unlimited length. There are all the three-cornered constituencies about to undergo an experiment that Mr. BRIGHT declares is obnoxious to them. But, after all, these contests will not compare for eccentricity with one now going on in the extreme North of England. In the northernmost of all the towns, one that always has a special reference to itself in all proclamations—Berwick-on-Tweed to wit —there are at the present time four candidates. Three of them have been candidates before, and all three have been unseated for bribery. The fourth has not yet undergone the process, because he has not previously been engaged in this kind of business. The three bribers are Viscount Beni, who has been unseated for Norwich, and Mr. STAPLETON and Mr. IloDGsoN, who have both been unseated for the constituency which theyseek to repre sent. It must be confessed that these gentlemen have plenty of assurance—a plain-spoken person would call it impudence. But to Mr. lloDosoN must be assigned the palm in this respect. True, Mr. STAPLETON has been put upon his trial as a director of the Royal British Bank, and has been convicted; but the judge so clearly intimated that the conviction was unjustifiable, that we have nothing more to say to Mr. STAPLETON on that account. He is no worse than the other bribers. But Mr. HODGSON is the chairman of the North British Railway Company, the company whose affairs were a few months ago the scandal of the day. Mr HODGSON " cooked " the accounts, and j ustified the cook ing,but was not the less compelled by the shareholders to resign. Yet he has the amazing brazen-facedness to offer himself to a constituency, many of whose members must be now suffering from his misdoings. Berwick has long had an evil reputation ; it has long been notorious as one of the most corrupt boroughs, which has escaped disfranchisement only on the same prineiple that some bad men are allowed to live till fourscore, and to die in their beds, while others are cut off suddenly in the midst of their sins. We do not know if the two Liberal members, Viscount BunY and Mr. STAPLETON, are prepared to renew the practices which have been proved against them before; if they do, it may be well for them to remember that the penalty under the new Act is severe, and it may be as well for the borough to remember that an election inquiry will be held on the spot by a judge, and that proved bribery is certain to be followed by disfranchisement. But we could hardly imagine that even Berwick would re-elect Mr. HODGSON, were it not that Sunderland several times re-elected Mr. GEORGE HUDSON. LATEST INTELL MENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) AUSTRIA.

Sentence was passed to-day on the rest of the prisoners accused of complicity in the murder of Prince Michael. Maistrovich, in accordance with the demand of the public prosecutor, was con demned to death ; three others to five years' impri sonment and three were acquitted. ROUMANIA. BUCHAREST, Nov. 8. It is stated that the Government intends enter ing into negotiations with foreign Powers in re ference to a proposed increase of certain of the import duties : The Perseveranza proves the necessity of in creased armaments on account of the present un satisfaAory relations existing between Roumania and Hungary, and publishes an appeal sum moning the nation to arms. The frequently re peated rumours about Russian influences pre dominating in Roumania are declared to be derived entirely from Russian sources. It has, however, been state) that French emissaries are expected in the Danubian districts of Turkey as well as here. The Perseveranza refutes and denounces as ut terly untrue the assertion of some of the opposition journals, charging the Government with having illegally disposed of several millions of mortgage bonds. THE MURDER OF THE REV. MR. BAKER. The schooner Gem, which arrived at Sydney on the 2nd of September, conveyed the intelligence that H.M.S. Challenger had proceeded to the island of Rewa (Fijian group), and armed boats were despatched up the river for the purpose of punishing the hostile tribes that had been implicated in the murder of the Rev. Mr. Baker and others connected with the mission. The launch and first and second cutters were armed, and placed under the com mand of Captain Browning, with orders from Commodore Lambert to shell the villages. This was done, and it is supposed that several of the natives were killed, the casualties on the side of the British being one marine wounded, and also Mr. Creelman, a settler. The Challenger left Rewa for the New Hebrides, orders being given by the commodore that her Majesty's ship Charybdis, on arrival from Sydney, should cruise about the group. It is presumed the resident British Consul will direct her move ments; GREECE• ATHENS, Nov. 6. Some popular demonstrations, headed by stu debts, have been suppressed by the police.

The oldest of all the Catholic newspapers in this country—founded as many as eight and twenty years ago (namely, in 1810) by the late Frederick Lucas, sometime M.P. for the county of Meath, and, since his death, conducted during the list ten years uninterruptedly by John Elward Wallis, of the Inner Temple, barrister-at-law—having within these last few days passed into the hands of the Very Rev. Herbert Vaughan, D.D., on Saturday last made its appearance in an entirely new form, as a weekly Review as well as a weekly Newspaper. In this new form it is admirably got up in every parti cular. And its merits as a publication are not merely of a material character. Besides being printed in excellent type, upon capital paper, and in a shape far more suitable for binding up for preservation and after reference, the Tablet gives every promise, judging of it from this first number, so to speak, of a new series, of sustaining and extending its reputa tion among the very ablest of its contemporaries of all creeds and all political parties, by its comprehensive survey of passing events, and its really admirable editorial arrangements. One suggestion there is which is thrown out quite incidentally by a cor respondent of the Tablet, the introduction of which into this the earliest number of the old paper in its new guise, appears to us entitled here to some passing word of reference as reflecting credit at once upon the old and new proprietorship. It is the pro posal by this correspondent, of the presentation, in recognition of his past services, of a Testimonial "of esteem and gratitude" to the late Editor of the Tablet, Mr. Wallis—a suggestion that we doubt not will be eagorly acted upon among his co religionists. As the authoritative and recognized organ of the Catholics of the Unitel Kingdom, the Tabla gives fair promise of holding its own vigorously among those Weekly Reviews and News papers which are recognizably of the tir.,t rank in English journalism.

The list of candidates corrected up to the present time gives us the following figures :—There are in England and Wales 449 Liberal and 360 Conservative candidates ; in Scotland 74 and 22 ; in Ireland 106 and 61. Altogether, the Liberals have put forward 629, and the Conservatives 443 candidates, a total of 1,072, for the 658 seats which have to be filled. This number is not so large as was gene rally believed. But then it must be remembered that as nearly as possible one-half, or about 330 seats, are uncon tested, so that the 742 candidates are really contending for about this number. The maximum is obtained in Athlone and Galway. At the first-mentioned town six candidates are contesting one seat; in the second nine are contesting two seats. Of English constituencies, Hackney, the least illustrious of any, has the most ccmpetitors in proportion to the number of seats ; they are six in number for two seats. Manchester has as many for three seats, and the City has seven rivals for four seats. MR. ARTHUR RUSSELL ON THE TVO.RKINO CLASSES. Mr. Arthur Russell, M.P., in the course of a speech to the electors of Tavistock a day or two since, is reported to have said : " While on this subject I would like to give the working men of England a little bit of advice. I do not know whether they will receive it well or not. There is no surer symptom that the ruling power of this country has passed into the hands of the working men than the large number of flatterers and courtiers who say all kinds of pleasant things to them in order to obtain their votes ; and if you have read any of their speeches you must have seen that their language is something to this effect—that the aristocracy have had their day; that they have only been actuated by selfishness and love of pleasure, and that their reign has been put an end to; that the middle classes have been actuated by selfishness and love of money, but that their rule has been put an end to. Now, the time of the working man has come; they are highminded and enlightened and generous, and they do not require any knowledge or study to enable them to understand public questions, but they judge of them by instinct and impulse. Now, gentlemen, I think there is nothing to be said in favour of igno rance in itself, and this kind of flattery is exceed ingly unworthy of the men who make use of it. There are a great number of questions in politics which cannot be judged by mere instinct or impulse, or settled by three cheers ; there are questions of political economy, of finance, of taxation, of commercial policy, of our rela tions with foreign countries, and so on, which can only be understood by those who have given their attention to them. Mr. Disraeli has not been ashamed to stoop to this kind of flattery, for in a speech he delivered at the Mansion House he warned the people against the evil effects of over-education, remarking that over-education led to a perversion of opinion and affectation of philosophy, and that great questions would suffer in the hands of those who were over-educated. For myself, I believe the day is very far distant when it will be found necessary for us to warn the people of this country against the danger of over education ; but when that time does come, then we can deal with it. And I will tell you why I do not believe in the sincerity of these courtiers of the working man. They propose, in the same breath, to improve his material welfare, and to instruct him by compulsory education. But when that has been done, when the working men are materially better off, and intellectually better educated, will they differ from the middle classes, who are so selfish and so bad ? Will they not lose those distinctive virtues which are the character of the working man? " The lady who has for the last six weeks been en camped near Dilston Castle, Northumberland, who calla herself the Countess of Derwentwattr, and lays claim to the Dilsten estate, has et last relinquished her uncom fortable position on the highway. On iday she removed to the house of 11. Carr, at Shcrecliffe, and on the same day she went to llexham, and entered into recognhance, at the office of the magistrate's cleik, to provide without delay her appeal against the decision of the magistrates, convicting her of having obstructed the highway, and sentencing her to a fine of 10e. an costs. The London Free and OFen Church Asscciation are anxious that the following questions should bo put to candidates for Parliament, namely— (1) Do you think it just that parish churches should be appropriated, by renting or otherwise to a small minority of the parishioners, to the virtual exclusion of the great mass of the people ? (2) If elected, will you aid the gradual restoration of tho parish churches to the people, and oppose any attempted Church building legislation based on the violation of the parochial system by pew rents ? The politicians of Sheffield having had some dis putes as to the amount of taxes paid by a working man earn ing £5O a year, one of them wrote to the Chancellor of the Exchequer upon the subject, and received for answer, founded upon an estimate of expenditure, from him, that they would amount to 18s. Gd. per annum on the groceries, and that other items are nct subject to taxation. So far as education is concerned, a portion of the taxes which would be payable on the groceries would come back to the payer if his children were sent to a school to which a grant is made from the educational vote. The magistrates at Blackburn are naturally ex ceedingly anxious about the election, the riots following the municipal elections being so serious. Since then matters have not been made better by the fights which have taken place in several workshops of the town. Tho ill feeling has if anything increased. A meeting of the county and borough magistrates was held at Blackburn, on Saturday last, and it was resolved to ask the Home Secretary to place at their disposal within the borough, prior to the forthcoming elec tion, troops of the line and cavalry. Without such a force, the magistrates expressed their fears that they would not be able to maintain the peace of the borough. A terrific explosion occurred on Saturday at Rochdale, by which six persons were injured. One of the workmen employed at the Gas Works was engaged connecting a new meter intended to provide an im proved supply of gas to the town, and although cau tioned of the danger arising from the back pressure on the meter, he appears to have removed the plug intended to prevent it, the consequence being that the gas passed into tho building whore several men were painting a now puri fier. The gas exploded with a fearful report, and the men working there were injured, but it is hoped they will re cover. Precautions were immediately taken to prevent the flame extending to other parts of the works, and in this they were successful. There is a singular clause in the will of the late Earl of Normanton. The personal property was sworn under £700,000. Among other bequests the deceased peer levies au immediate legacy of £l,OOO to his second son, Herbert. He further leaves the sum of £lOO,OOO upon trust to pay the income to the same son Herbert for lifo, and after his death one-half of the capital is to go for the benefit of his widow and children, and the other half is to fall into the testator's residuary personal estate. Tho deceased peer, however, provides that in case his said son should not marry within three years after his decease, or should marry a widow, ho is to forfeit a moiety of the benefit so given him; and the testator declares that he makes this provision out of his very great, true, and sincere affection for his sou Her bert, feeling assured that true happiness in this life is only to be found in the married state. Monday being the anniversary of the birth of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, her Majesty the Queen provided a most agreeable surprise for the Prince and Piiucess, who are now staying at Windsor. At a quarter to eight o'clock Dr. Elvery, the organist, of the Chapel Royal of St. George with choristers, assembled in the Horse Slice Cloisters, and proceeded to the cor ridor of the 'York Town., ono of the principal towers of the Castle facing the Long walk, in which their Royal Highnesses cccupy a magnificent suite of apart ments. Upon the arrival of Dr. Elvery and his ;hoir in the tower the singers serenaded the Prince and Prin cess with the following glees and madrigals:—"Merrily Wake," Barnet ; " Hail Smiling Morn," Spofforth ; "On the Sea," Mendelssohn ; "Hark the Lark," Cooke; " Foresters Sound," Bishop ; "In Summer's Cool Shade," Arnold; " The Dawn of Day," Rosy ; " Ode" (composed ex pressly for the occasion by tho Rev. W. 11. bliss), G. J. Elvery, "God Savo the Queen." The voices of the choir had a very bcautiful effect within the Tower, and at th. close of tho serenade the choristers were hospitably enters taiued with breakfast at the castle. MR. MILL UPON THE PERMISSIVE BILL. - A. correspoimence has passed between Mr. Dawson Burns, the secretary of the United Kingdom Alliance, and Mr. Mill, on the Permissive Bill. Mr. Mill was reported to have said at a recent meeting : " I am against allowing the majority in any place to make law s regulating the tastes and morality of the minority." Mr. Dawson Burns writes to the hon. member for Westminster : " I respectfully submit that, philosopher and statesman as you are, this observation is neither statesmanlike nor philosophic. As a general proposition, it is wanting in that clearness for which your style is eminently distinguished. If you mean that majorities have no right to legislate so as to check the indulgence of the tastes (i.e., likes and dislikes) of minorities, and so as to affect the moral condition of the community, I cannot see what room you leave for any species of legisla tion, or how the duties of a legislator can be other than negatively defined. If this be not your meaning, I fail to perceive any pertinency in your remark as directed I against the Permissive Bill. I further submit that your reply both suggests a wholly false issue, and entirely suppresses the real issue between the friends and oppo nents of the bill. It suggests a false issue, for you very well know that if the qticstion were one of mere personal taste (as of one kind of food in preference to another) or of private morality (as of covetousness against benevolence), the Permissive Bill could never have been drafted. Your reply also suppresses the real issue, because it leaves completely out of sight the indisputable peculiarity of the drink traffic, and its acknowledged connection with all the evils which i'npoverish, crimi nalise, and degrade immense masses, and thereby impose heavy burdens upon all classes, and seriously impede, where they do not thwart, the most generous and active efforts for social prosperity and well-being. lam not aware that in your published writings you have questioned the right of public interference with the liquor traffic for public ends ; all that you have ever claimed being that the right of use involves the right of purchase, and therefore the right of sale. But this right of sale does not necessi tate the upholding of the licensing system as now insti tuted, and, short of entire prohibition, it would admit of a reduction in the number of drinking-shops, leading to a great abatement of prevailing evils." Mr. Burns further complained that Mr. Mill had not received a deputation on the subject. To this Mr. Mill makes the following reply :—" It is quite true that my answer to the question about the Permissive Bill was very inadequate, but it did not pretend to be adequate ; it was only intended to give a general notion of the kind of objection I have to the bill—viz., that the use or non-use of alcoholic liquors is a subject on which every sane and grown-up person ought to judge for himself under his own responsibility, and that interference with that private responsibility, from known good motives, and with however much apparent justification, is not, in my eyes, made allow able by the fact of its being sanctioned by the vote of a majority. My reason for not accepting the proposal of an interview was merely that, each side being already well aware of what the other has to say, it was probable that any oral discussion would be lost time. For the same reason I hope you will excuse me from replying to the arguments in your letter. But I will not conclude without saying that a much better licensing system might easily be had than that of leaving all to the discretion of the magistrates, and that I should not necessarily be opposed to any proposal on the subject because it might involve ` a reduction in the number of drinking-shops.' This, of course, does not affect my opposition to a bill for allowing a two-thirds majority in a locality the power of prohibiting the sale of alcoholic liquors. Allow me, at the same time, to say that I have never expressed myself otherwise than most respectfully concerning the intentions of those who support the bill, and the great moral value of the end they Vursue." 'AT ARCHBISHOP OF YORK ON MODERN POSITIVISM. The ArcTanstfop of York discoursed at some length on modern positivism at Edinburgh some days back. His concluding remarks were as follows :—" As to leaving out God, and freedom, and duty, and immortality, from any scheme wishing to be called philosophy, that is a thing im possible. The evidence for them is less clear and the research more difficult than forthe facts of science. But though we might prefer the clearer and simpler proof, still, if that is unattainable, we must be content with such proof as we have. It is better for us to know God and duty imper fectly than not to know them. To see God dimly through a glass is better than to give up looking for him. We estimate knowledge, not by its clearness, hut by the value of its objects. The world offers just now the spectacle humiliating to us in many ways, of millions of people clinging to their old idolatrous religions, and refusing to change them even for a higher form ; whilst in Christian Europe thousands of the most cultivated class are begin ning to consider atheism a permissible, or even a desirable thing. The very instincts of the savage rebuke us. But just when we seem in danger of losing all, may come the mom cot of awakening to the dangers of our loss. A world where thought is a secretinl of the train.gland—where free-will is the dream of a madman that thinks he is an emperor, though naked and in chains—where God is not, or at least not knowable—such is not the wstld as we learnt it, on which great lives have been lived out, great self-sacrifice dared, great piety and devotion have been sent to soften the sin, the ignorance, and the misery. It is a world from which the sun is withdrawn, and with it all light and life. But this is not our world as it was, nor the world of our father. To live is to think and to will. To think is to see the chain of facts in crea tion, and passing along its golden links to find the hand of God at its beginning, as we saw his handiwork in its course. And to will is to be able to know good and evil ; and to will aright is to submit the will entirely to a will higher than ours. So that with God alone can we find true knowledge and true rest, the vaunted fruits of philosophy. Were I to advise any student of philosophy, I would say to him that philosophy should not consent to narrow the field of her inquiries, but that she should learn circumspection and caution from the past. What man can know ; what man ought to do ; and what man is and what he may hope to be, — these are the questions about which philosophy has been busy from old time. Let her abandon none of them. Philosophy is but wise and disciplined thought upon the subjects on which all men think. Philosophy, whilst she is teaching morals and religion, will soon come to a point where her teaching ends ; and she will confess that, in order to know duty, a life of duty must he lived, and in order to know God the soul must learn to love him. She will send her scholars to seek in revelation and prac tical obedience the higher culture that she can only com mence. But with eternity all around us, with the mystery of lignorance and vice and misery on every hand, with the mystery of the soul which can obey God, which is tena cious, beyond all things else, of its religious creed, even of a wrong creed, and yet is so niggardly of its obedience with the mystery of the hope of immortality, with the mys teries of sorrow and affection, we cannot think that sensation ern comprehend our all. Nay, amidst all that is so awful in our life, and so great, we look upon our complete philosopher, sitting in his storehouse of sensations, and still discoursing glibly of his own greatness, with a touch of kindly pity ; as we think of the children playing in the nursery when death is in the house. We know in part. It is far better go. The perfect knowledge shall be kept back from us all through this lower life, and given us only in another state, when self-conceit shall be purged away, and with perfect love and perfect self-submission the perfect knowledge may be safely added. ' Now we see through a glass darkly, but then face to face.'" TWENTY YEARS' TELEGRAPIIING.--Tn 1848 the whole length of telegraph wire erected in the United States was under 13,000 miles ; in 1868 it is about 120,000 A LESSON IN TIIEOLOGY.—At Rochester, New York, a woman named Mary Swingler has just been sen tenced to six months' imprisonment for cruelty to her adopted daughter, seven years of age. The woman had burnt the child's hands by forcibly holding them over a cooking stove until the neighbours interfered. The woman's reason was that the child had stolen a piece of candy, and " she intended to give her an idea of what hell is." ADVANTAGE OF BEING POOR.—A poor man never aas any taxes to pay. He can sit down and laugh the assessors to scorn, and read off the big appropriations made by councils with a feeling of indescribable exhilara tion. A poor man can enjoy life. He lives in a rented house, and it needn't worry him any to see it abused, and his equanimity need not be disturbed if it burns down. A poor man can repose on the bosom of his family and know that there is no avaricious young man prowling around after any rich daughters. Nobody wants the poor man to die. TEMPERANCE MEETING AT EXETER HALL,—On Monday evening a united demonstration of the metropo litan temperance organisations and societies took place at Exeter Hall, the chair being occupied by Mr. George Cruikshank. The building was nearly filled, the attend ance being chiefly composed of the working classes. Upwards of seventy societies and benefit associations were represented. As a commencement to the proceedings a procession numbering about 500 or 600 persons marched to the hall. The chairman delivered a telling address, in which he earnestly advocated the cause of temperance. He was followed by Mr. M'Currey, Mr. Burthom, Car. Lain Phipps, R.N. (who spoke of the dreadful effects pro duced by intoxication in our army and navy), Mr. Leicester, Mr. Grundy, Mr. Mosely, Mr. J. Groves, Mr. Wightman, and others, all of whom denounced__ the use f Intoxicating liquors as a gust pi SQCietY. 411. I -4 0 P 1, , 1 44, 't HER MAJESTY. • WINDSOR CASTLE, Nov. 9. The Queen, accompanied by the Princess of Wales, drove out this morning. Their Royal Highnesses the Crown Princess of Prussia and Princess Louise went out riding. To-day being the birthday of the Prince of Wales the choir of St. George's Chapel assembled in the corridor of the Castle this morning and sang a selection, conducted by Dr. Elvey. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. M ARLBOROUGH-S MEET. AN UNHAPPY PAlR.—lienry Wilson, a young man, described as an enameller, of No. 23, Cumber land-street, Oxford-street, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with assaulting his wife Caroline. On being sworn the complainant said I don't want to lock my husband up. Mr. Mansfield—What do you charge him with ? Complainant (sullenly)—Knocking me about. Mr. Mansfield—Was he drunk ? Complainant—Not very. He struck me vio lently in the mouth when he came home between twelve and one this morning. I had had no quarrel with him. Mr. Mansfield—How old are you, and how ong have you been married ? Complainant-1 am 23 years of age, he is 25, and we have been married two years, and had ono child, but it is dead. Prisoner—Have I struck you before ? Complainant—Yes, you have. I don't want to lock him up, only to leave him. Mr. Mansfield—What is he? Complainant—An enameller, and has plenty of trade. Mr. Mansfield —lt is bad enough for a brick layer or bricklayers' labourer to get drunk, but still worse for a high class and skilled workman. Police-constable, 68 E---The complainant told me that her husband had struck her and threatened to take her life with a knife, and the prisoner then struck the complainant in the mouth and I took him into custody. He was not very drunk. The Prisoner—We had some words, and I struck her, but I am very sorry for it. Mr. Mansfield—lt is extremely - wrong under any provocation to strike a woman, and still more to strike a woman you have sworn to protect. What is to become of such young people? "I am unwilling to widen the breach which already exists between you by sending you to prison. You will no doubt separate, and perhaps when you are older come together again and regret your fully in having wasted those years which might have been. spcJt happily together. I shall order you to enter into your own bail in 10 to appear in four weeks to answer any complaint that may be made. A BRACE OF QUEER CHARACTERS.—Two rough" looking young fellows named John Brooks and James Shutt, were charged before Mr. Mansfield with loitering in Saville-row, supposed for the purpose of committing a felony. From the evidence of Philip Shrives, a plain clothes officer of the C division, it appeared that last night between nine and ten o'clock he saw the prisoners in Saville-row, near Mr. Poole's, the tailor, with several others busily engaged in trying the pockets of gentlemen, and after watching them for three-quarters of an hour he took them into custody. At the station Shrives found upon each of them a mask used by thieves to disguise there' selves with. Schutt said he was not wearing the mask ; it was in his pocket, and he only had it on for a lark. Brooks said that he only went out with the other young gentlemen to see the illuminations. The prisoners, who gave their addresses in the neighbourhood of Lisson-grove, were remanded. WESTMINSTER. EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OF A MEDICAL MA`r. —A lady named Fiduccia made the following singu lar application to Mr. Arnold, the sitting magis trate : Applicant said that Dr. Macintosh, of No. L 4, Bronipton-road, had attended her mother and her self for two years, and she held receipts to prove it. On Saturday night, at 12 o'clock, her mother . was dangerously ill, and she went to Dr. Macintosh and rang the night-bell ; a top window was opene d and the contents of a water-jug thrown over her. She went back, and, finding her mother worse , returned to Dr. Macintosh's; he refused to coo" and see her mother, who was getting worse, and he abused and menaced her, and, in fact, almost pushed her out of the house. Mr. Arnold asked the object of the application. Applicant said to get a summons against the per son who threw the water; it was a woman. Dr• Macintosh was a single man, and only had one ser vant, as she believed, and it was very strange tbst he should put his head out of the same bed-rooll window as the woman that threw water. Could not his worship give her also some advice respect ing his refusal to attend her sick mother. Mr. Arnold said it was very extraordinary COn' duct, but he could not assist her with regard to the refusal to attend her mother, If Dr. Macintosh used any personal violence or threats he would grant her a summons, but he could not compel hire o give the name of the person who threw the water ; if applicant could ascertain the woma o name she should have a summons. Applicant said she was frightened to go near the house, Dr. Macintosh was so menacing in his man" ner. THAMES. DARING ATTEMPT TO ROB A POST-OFFICE TlLL''' . Ennis Quick, a boy about 14 years of age, w 34 brought before Mr. Paget, charged with attempt' ing to steal money from a till. Robert Briant said he was clerk to Mr. Augusta Shrood, postmaster, in Three Colt-street, Lime' house, which was also a money order-office and post-office savings bank. At seven o'clock 154 night he left the office for a few minutes. He ha d just before received £lOO in notes which ho de' posited in the till. There was altogether abou t £2OO in the till, including stamps and £4O in geld' The postmaster was in his bed very ill, and the whol e charge of the office devolved upon him. A minute a two after leaving the office he received informatio n from the servant which induced him to retura hastily, and upon entering the office he saw t" prisoner behind the counter on his hands and knees' with his hand on the till, and about to remove i t ; He seized the prisoner, who said, " Let me go; have not taken anything." He gave the prison er into custody. He had seen the prisoner before. Mr. Paget—Did you l oc k t h e t ill b e f ore yo u left the office ? Witness—Certainly, sir, and put the key in of pocket. John Mansfield, 598, said that he took the P' ° soner into custody. He knew his face well. Mr. Paget--And so do I; the boy's face is ved familiar to me. Roche, the gaoler of the Court, said the prisooet had been convicted before. The clerk, Briant, was recalled, and, in answer t 3 a question, said he knocked the prisoner's against the till. Mr. Paget—Make some i nqu i r i es a b o ut the boy. I shall remand him till Monday next.
