The day after to-morrow, Wednesday, the 11th inst., Parliament will have been formally dissolved by Royal Proclamation. And now, before the Gene ral Election which will take place immediately after wards shall have actually commenced, it becomes more than ever incumbent upon those entrusted with the responsibility of exercising the rights of citizen ship through the use of the electoral franchise, to consider for a moment more seriously than they have ever done yet what it is that is really now as a political alternative, before the country. It would be nothing less than absurd to begin to regard it as a personal matter between Mr. DISRAELI and Mr. GLADSTO).7E. It would be hardly less an absurdity to regard it as a choice be tween Liberalism and Conservatism. Those titles are as distinctly obsolete nowadays as the old world nomenclature of Whigs and Tories. The last-mentioned are long since gone out as utterly as the Dodo or the Mastodon. Mr. HENLEY, even, is a specimen of the genus that Lord ELDON would altogether have failed to recognise. As to the Whigs it was only during the course of last year that Lord DERBY himself amidst the Homeric laughter of the whole country declared them to have been " dished." With regard to Conser vatism, who is now a Conservative ? "With refe- Jence to Liberalism, who is there who is not a Libe ral ? Who is there at any rate who does not assume the virtue if he has it not? Who is there who does not at the least affect Liberalism ? In point of fact the Conservatives are as dead and gone and buried away and forgotten as the Protectionists of old—or as the Assyrians or as the Cartha genians. No affectation whatever of Conserva tism is there left, even in the [most sanguine, after-dinner talk of heirs or successors—the Constitutionalists ? If the more independent, or, as their foes would say, the more captious of the Liberals formed themselves into a se parate faction, inhabiting, or hailing from, a new Cave of Adullam, the whole body of what once constituted the political party of the Conserva tives simultaneously, it must be said, caved in. We are, in reality, all of us—without any exception whatever—Freetraders and Reformers. Who, in truth, has the temerity to be the reverse of either? Where is there a genuine specimen to be found anywhere now living either of a veritable anti-Reformer or a tho roughgoing Protectionist? The notion of anything of the kind is regardable only as simply preposterous. We are arguing altogether, therefore, upon a false premise if we maintain that the question which is now being put to the country through the General Election immediately to be commenced, is in any way whatever one involving an alternative be tween Liberalism and Conservatism. It is simply a question in degree between Liberals of more or less advanced opinions. It is an alternative between reformers of a more or less determined character. It cannot be forgotten as yet —it will not very soon, we believe, be lost to the popular re collection—how Lord SHAYITSBURYitI his great speech in the House of Lords last year deprecated the sudden adoption of the principle of household suffrage in volved in the Reform Bill of Mr. DISRAELI, by saying that its acceptance by the Government resembled, according to his notion of it, the insensate conduct of those, who, declining to walk down stairs, preferred to jump out of win dow. The leap in that instance, according to the then Premier, Lord DERBY, having been made, as it were in the night time or during the unnatural gloom of something like a total eclipse —at any rate, being a leap in the dark. Nowadays the advance proposed to be made—whether by Mr. GLADSTONE or by Mr. DisnaELl—whether by Mr. BRIGHT or by Lord SALISBURY—is neither, so to express it, down the staircase or out of the window. It is down an inclined plane—here of a larger, there of a lesser gradient. And it is an advance down this inclined plane that one side proposes shall be taken rapidly, or at a rush —the other slowly, deliberately, and in a manner pro cessionally. Whenever Mr GLADSTONE attains the sum mit of his ambition—next month or next year—during the brief winter session now immediately before us, or directly after Parliament shall; have reassembled in the regular course, at the beginning of next February, it is absolutely certain that conspicuous, in fact supreme among his colleagues, second only in administrative importance to the new Prime Minister himself, will be Mr. BRIGHT, no matter what the actual post may be that will be allotted to the member for Birmingham among the Cabinet Ministers. And any Cabinet (we may be equally certain of this) that Mr. BRIGHT belongs to will be active in its furtherance of the principles and interests of reform. He will never consent to do as other popular reformers have done before him— namely, directly they have been installed in office " keep the word of promise to the ear and break it to to the hope." Mr. BRIGHT, we may rest per fectly well assured, will never degenerate into a Mr. MILNER GIBSON. Once sworn in as a Privy Councillor, once having kissed hands as Secre tary of State, or President of a Board, or what not, Mr. BRIGHT will resolutely set to work carrying out himself, and constraining the most reluctant among his colleagues to help him in carrying out one after another all those great reforms which yet remain to be secured, and which he has for years been urging as strongly as logic and eloquence could urge, changes of so comprehensive a kind upon the acceptance of the whole community. Of this we might have been certain long since by reason of all Mr. BRIGHT'S antecedents. But, as if to afford what was nevertheless in no way required, a most positive and conclusive guarantee as to his determination to do what the whole country might have sworn quite confidently without any such guarantee that he could alone do under such abnormal and, for him, unprece dented circumstances—he has within these last few days down at Edinburgh been most frankly and explicitly foreshadowing the particular kind of reforms that ha and his friends will now resolutely go in for. In point of fact, he has raised a new cry, and inscribed it, so to speak, upon the banner of his party—A Free Breakfast Table! Meaning thereby the removal of all the imposts yet left on Tea and Sugar and Coffee Declaring at the same time that, to counterbalance the falling off immediately thereupon in the national revenue by some dozen millions or thereabouts, by making plain as he undertakes to do hereafter (that is when the time comes) the diminution by some £10,000,000 i❑ our naval and military expenditure. Foreshadowing at the same time some resolute re adjustment of revenue by imposing boldly a ttx upon property. In any case the country is safe in regard to this— that the resolute and comprehensive advance of liberal and reforming principles must go on now uninterruptedly. Under Mr. GLADSTONE'S Premiership, it must go on, of course, all the more rapidly and sweepingly. Under Mr. DISRAELI'S, more slowly, deliberately, and tentatively. And yet—slowly ? deliberately ? tentatively ? The words read almost ironically in regard to the Author of a Reform Bill so radical of its THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 9,186 g. kind, that it landed us at one bound in Household Suffrage! At any rate, we have got to an end of the anti-reformers--by whomsoever we may chance to be governed. We have got to an end of the anti reformers as absolutely and as undeniably as we have got to an end of those anti-Free Traders, the Pro tectionists. ARCHDEACON DENISON is a man six feet high and of physical and mental energy to match. lie is for ever speaking, writing, holding meetings, getting up petitions. This activity is the more praiseworthy because, as he confessed at the Conservative banquet at Bristol last winter, he had never taken up a came which he had not lost. He would seem thus to be a sort of politico-ecclesiastical JONAH, save that, unlike JONAH, he never sleeps, but works twenty-five hours out of the twenty-four. lie has just been holding a clerical conference at East Brent—a sort of ruralised edition of the prayer-meetings at Exeter Hall. The subject was, that the PRE3IIER might be led to make a wise appointment to the metropolitan see of Canterbury. Mr. DITCHER, the Archdeacon's old prosecutor, was there. He prayed with fervour. The Archdeacon, of course, was pre sent, and he prayed with vigour. It is as much contra bonos mores to mention names at a prayer match as in the House of Commons ; so we do not know whom Mr. DITCHER prayed for, nor for whom the Archdeacon ; but we are quite sure that in their hearts they prayed for very different persons. The appointment of an archbishop involves the appointment of a bishop. Did the rival suppliants pray for the minor as well as for the major officer ? If so, we should be curious to know if Mr. DENISON prayed that the Archdeacon of TAUNTON might be the new Bishop. We are certain that Mr. DITCHER prayed that he might not. The Archdeacon is, we have said, a vigorous man ; a logical man he certainly is not. His statements of fact are utterly astounding ; his arguments are enormous petitiones principii. For instance, he has just declared in one letter that the Established Church of England and Ireland is the principal national gift of GOD to the nation. The Irish nation, who ought to be the best judges, declare that it is anything but a gift, and is the reverse of national. The Archdeacon's blunder ought to prove a fatal bar to his promotion in the eyes of the PREMIER, who declared that Church to be not " national," but " alien." In another of his letters the Archdeacon says that the real question for every elector of 1868 is, " Will I maintain the National Church ? that is, will I maintain the Reformed Faith, or will I help to injure it, and, so far as I may, to destroy it in these islands ?" In other words, he means to affirm that those who desire to disestablish the Protestant Church in Ireland wish to destroy it, whereas they believe that nothing is so fatal to its prosperity as its establishment. How can it be otherwise ? Mr. H. A. BRUCE has just told us that he attended for six successive Sundays a church in Ireland situated in the midst of a population almost entirely Roman Catholic. Each Sunday the clergyman of the " national " Church devoted his sermon to an attack upon the religion professed by the great bulk of the nation. What would Archdeacon DENISON say if Archbishop MANNING'S Church were treated as the national Church of England, by being established, and if the Archbishop spent Sunday after Sunday in denouncing the " Reformed Faith" ? A missionary Church all of us can respect, but a . Church considered by the State as national, and imposed upon the nation in opposition to the people, is an "alien " institution which we should denounce if it existed in Poland or Spain, and which was denounced by the very Minister who now upholds it, though he admits that his condemnation was " historically " right.

The annual ceremony of swearing in the Lord Mayor (Alderman J. W. Lawrence) for the ensu ing year took place to-day with great state and ceremony. For some years the show has been recklessly curtailed of its fair proportions, and it was thought that the time was approaching when the Lord Mayor would drive down to Westminster in his private carriage and go through the formali ties without the least display, but instead of such a result a reaction has taken place in favour of the ancient display, and to-day it was more imposing than it has been for many years. The celebrated state coach was again beought into requisition, and after - the care that has within the last few days been bestowed upon it, it looked as new and bright as if it had been manufactured for the oc casion. There was to-day a great display of banners ancient banners borne by ancient watermen. The whole of the corporation officers attended in full State trappings, and the bands of various volunteer rifle corps contributed the music. His lordship was attended by an escort of the 17th Lancers, and al together " the show " was all that could be desired even in this age of innovation and improvement. After the principal personages had partaken of a sumptous breakfast the City Marshal gave the word for the procession to form, and shortly after it started from the Guildhall-yard for Westminster. There was a very large attendance of sight-seers, and altogether " the show " appeared to give satis faction. On arriving at New Palace-yard his Lordship alighted, and at once proceeded to the Court of Exchequer, and having taken his place in that part of the Court usually occupied by Queen's Counsel, the Lord Chief ro t ber Baron,Barons, in his State robes, attended by his entered the Court, and or b having taken his seat the Recorder introduced the Lord Mayor in the most eulogistic manner. The Chief congratulated Alderman Lawr baron, enceon in reply,hissle ctionto fill the important office of Chief Magistrate fur the City of London for the ensuing year, and the ancient oath was adminis tered. This having been done a word of compli ment was given to Alderman Allen, the Lord Mayor, and he was also sworn to give a good ac count of the City revenues during his year of office, and " conduct himself properly while so doing." This part of.the proceeding having terminated, the Recorder, on behalf of the Lord Mayor, then invited their lordships to the city city banquet this evening at Guildhall, and, previous to quitting Westminster, the same invitation was given to the judges sitting in the adjoining courts. The procession returned to the city in the same order, but it received the brilliant addition of the Lady Mayoress, who with his lordship divided the cheering. The ships belonging to the Channel Squadron, under the command of Rear-Admirals Warden, C. 8., and Ryder, are completing their refit, filling up with three months' stores and provisions, and preparing generally for sailing again on a cruise, which may probably extend, in the first instance, as far as the Tagus. The iron troopship Inconstant, which has been building at Pembroke dock for some time past, is expected to be launched on the 12th. An order has been received at her Majesty's dockyard, Woolwich, for the steam gunboat Boxer to be commissioned for service with the Pacific squadron. The paddle. wheel steam storeship Dee, 1, was appointed to leave plymouth yesterday (Sunday) for the eastern ports. The iron armour-plated screw steamship Mino taur, 34, Captain James G. Goodenough, flag of Admiral Warden, will probably proceed for Spit head to-morrow (Tuesday). On Saturday the depot companies of the 106th Bombay Light Infantry, after being officially in spected by Major-General F. Murray, left Chat ham garrison arid proceeded to Shorncliffe, foe the purpose of being attached to the depot battalion at that station. The strength of the 106th depot is 150 non-commissioned officers and men, 20 sol diers' wives, and 20 children, the whole under the command of Capt. E. L. Robertson. The 31 de pot battalion, together with the depot companies of the 10th Regiment, will also proceed from Chat ham to Shorucliffe to-morrow. The iron armour-plated screw steamship Achilles, 26, will be placed to-day (Monday) in Keyhatn Steamyard for repairs. The Prussian screw steam corvette Medusa went on Saturday from Plymouth Sound to Hamoaze. She is now in No. 2 Dock at Devonport yard, for the purpose of having her bottom examined and repaired. PROFESSOR FAWCETT AT B.RIVIITOM Professor Fawcett addressed the electors of Brighton on Saturday evening. In reply to the attacks made against him in the Brighton papers And elsewhere, on the ground of his being an advocate of co-operation, he explained in detail what was meant by the term co-operation, its leading principle being the joining and combining together of the conflicting interests of labour and capital. He shewed in particular instances how this object could be brought about, and how, wherever it was carried out, it had the effect of allaying strifes and strikes, and, by pro- moting concord, increased the wealth of the community at large. He defended himself for the votes which he had given on educational and other social questions, and more especially for having proposed a measure which had for its object the transferring of the hustings expenses from the shoulders of candidates to the constituencies at large —a measure which, he urged, bad been cordially supported by such men as Mr. Mill, Mr. Gladstone, and Mr. Baines, and had only been defeated at the last moment by a Tory ruse. He further declared that, though he had been accused of being a "philosopher," he was guiltless of placing himself in the same category with Adam Smith, Edmund Burke, or De Tocqueville, but that, in his opinion, the nearer a candidate approached to the character of a philosopher, in the right and true sense of the term, and studied the principle of political economy, the more fitted he was for the duties of a senator ; and he concluded by a contrast of the characters and conduct of the two great rival statesmen, Messrs. Disraeli and Gladstone. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) Mr. GATHORNE HARDY has just told the electors of Maidstone that the only policy which the Liberals can suggest is " Mr. GLADSTONE." The Liberals can hardly retort that the Conservative policy is " Mr. DISRAELI." This was only to be expected. Schoolmasters are scarcely the heroes of the playground. The Conservative party could not be expected to feel very enthusiastic about their educa tor. But while " Mr. DISRAELI" is certainly not the policy of the Conservative party, it would be difficult to say what is. There are a dozen important subjects which will be discussed in the new Parliament; but the Conservatives have nothing to say upon any of them. To take the least generally interesting first—lndian politics—concerning which the Indian papers have just been entreating us to take more notice than we have done hitherto. Upon this subject both Liberals and Tories are for the most part silent; even the few who have broken silence are not members of the Government. Even Sir STAFFORD NORTHCOTE, the Secretary of State for India has not, if we remember rightly, thought the government of 150 millions of people worth referring to, although one would have supposed that he would gladly have escaped from his tormentors respecting the Irish Church by speaking of a matter with which he must be well acquainted. Then, to come home, we find that with regard to such questions as education, imperial expendi ture, local taxation, trades unions, the rights of women, the law of primogeniture, land tenure, and even the Irish Church itself, the C onservatives have n o policy. All that they can say is, that they will welcome any wise and well-considered plan. But they never have any plan. It is not in their way to have any. It is their fashion rather to steal the plans of their opponents and then to gloat over the manner in which these have been dished. The country might fairly say, " You are the responsible Ministers of the Crown, and it is for you, therefore, to exercise your wisdom in considering the questions above named." But the task is beyond them. They did, indeed, once devise a new Constitution in ten minutes ; but the country would have none of it. Since then the Constitutionalists have been cautious. They told the Opposition that the question of Reform had passed out of the region of party politics, and must be dealt with by the whole House. They will shortly make the same declaration with regard to the Irish Church, if they are allowed the opportunity. " It is for the gentlemen of the Opposi tion," they say, " to devise measures, and then we will say if we approve them. If we do, we will help to pass them ; if we do not, we will submit to their being passed. Only do not expect us to offer any suggestions. That is not in our line." Mr. HARDY'S assertion that the policy of the Liberals is " Mr. GLADSTONE" is very remarkable. Eight months ago it was a Liberal who said that his party consisted of leaders who could not lead, and of followers who would not follow. The Conservatives repeated this epigram from day to day with ecstacy— it was so true. It so accurately represented the condition of the Opposition —a mere mob— and of Mr. GLADSTONE, a man whom no one trusted. Yet now, in November, the leader who could not lead has become the hero of the nation, and the followers who would not follow are, it is . Mr. HARDY'S lament, able to say nothing more than that they will follow Mr. GLADSTONE. What has produced this marvellous change ? _We will tell Mr. HARDY. It is this—that Mr. GLADSTONE has a policy, and means to carry it out ; that it is the policy which the nation approves ; and that he is the man in whom the nation trusts. It is because the nation sees in Mr. GLAD STONE a leader of the nation, one who goes before it, and endeavours to anticipate its wishes and realise its aspirations, instead of yielding reluctantly to brute force ; it is because Mr. GLADSTONE is the embodi ment of a policy; is, in a word, a statesman, and not a mere party leader—it is for these reasons that, not the Liberal party only, but the whole nation, now adopts for its policy " Mr. GLADSTONE."

A great deal has been said of the " Duke of Edinburgh'b book." That book is now issued, but there is only one part of it the Duke of Edinburgh's—that in which he describes his elephant hunt in a letter to the Prince of Wales. " Here," says the Daily News, " we have a highly sensational picture of an elephant-charge, and we grow quite bloodthirsty in the excitement of the chase. It is no joke, however, to make one of such a party. The Duke is terribly in earnest, and means business ; is here, there, and everywhere ; helps to collect brush wood and make the fire ; seems able to do without meat, drink, or sleep (to speak of), and swallows his mutton broth out of the solitary teacup which makes the round of the party with a philosophy and gay good humour that are irresistible. We are very much tempted to give in extenso the Duke's letter to the Prince of Wales, but refrain for obvious reasons. A short extract we cannot resist. The Prince having caught his hare' (only this time it was an elephant), proceeds, with coat off, and shirt sleeves tucked up, to' skin him in the most scien tific manner, from which congenial occupation he is summoned to have a piece of the loaf and meat jwhich the governor has been cutting up. This was breakfast, the party having risen at 5 a.m., and it was then 3.30 p.m. Hear this, ye club loungers, ye young gentlemen of England who lounge at home at ease, ye heavy swells, and effeminate exquisites, and take a lesson from royalty ! But,' the Duke observes, ' as our hands and arms are all covered with blood, we had to get our friends to bale t p water in the cups of our spirit-flasks, and wash us down, clear of the pool, it being our only water to drink.' The Duke having finished his skinnings, et cmtera, makes the following remark, which is so fully flavoured with the conscious satisfaction of a virtuous action, that we cannot resist giving it The day was fine and the weather hot, and my short clay was very enjoyable, sitting on the yet waxen carcase!"' But the book itself is written by the Duke's chaplain. Here is a specimen of his style. It is a description of the Duke's entry into Capetown, giving one an idea of the most surprising demonstration of the congregated riffraff and ,rabble of the world. :—" As we proceeded fresh carriages of private individuals and hone men continued to join on behind, and it was necessary to keep a bright look-out to prevent their rushing in between the two carriages containing the Duke and the Governor with their suites. The road was thickly covered with red dust, which as soon as the horsemen and carriages started rose in clouds and enveloped everything. A great scrambling crowd of Malay and black boys, running and tumbling over eich other, shouting and laughing; women with children tied upon their backs; old men, too, and girls dressed in every conceivable kind of ragged rig and picturesque colour, with head-gear most varied and wonderful to look on—to wit, Malay hats like huge parasols, or the thatch of an English corn-rick ; crowns of old black hats, turbans of all proportions and colours, swelled the pro cession as it swept along. Everybody within reach seemed to stop in whatever they might be employed, and to commence running with the procession as though bewitched. One long negro, carrying an empty coffin under his arm, joined in, and commenced running and shouting with the rest. Darkies of all shades and ages, up in trees, screamed and shouted in a state of frantic delight at the whole scene. When the cavalry trumpet sounded ' Trot,' the cloud of dust increased tenfold. Everybody apparently, who could muster a horse was mounted, so that ahead and on every side the carriage in which we were following the Duke was hemmed in and surrounded, and everything became mixed up in one thick cloud of red dust, in which helmets, swords, hats, puggeries, turbans, and horses almost disappeared. The crowd hurrahed louder than ever ; pigs squealed, dogs howled, riders tumbled off ; the excitement was irresistible. Whoo-whoop !' and we were rushed into the cloud of dust (to escape being utterly swamped, and left astern of the Duke), standing up in the carriage, and holding on in front to catch what glimpse we could of what was going on." Then there is a comic part and a solemn one. The former is bearable, but the latter falls into many a mistake. The book as a whole relates in prose, in comic and in solemn verse, how the Prince left England, visited Trig tan d'Acunha, where the chaplain was much discouraged because he could not marry any couples —how he visited Capetown, and goes hunting; how he went to Australia and got shot; and, finally, hiS return home. The book is innocent of toadyism, and the Daily News thus sums up its quality. " This book bears the same relation to literature proper that calves-foot jelly and sweet omelets do to diet. Not unpleasant, and not with out a certain amount of mild merit, but entirely innocent of those sterling qualities which we prize in a piece de resistance; which we eat hot, and think still better cold, and return to again and again, finding in it bone and muscle, flavour, nourishment, and strength." A Connecticut editor gives an account of a man who "blew out his brains after bidding his wife good-bye with a gun." Messrs.

Prince Arthur, K.G., has been struck out of the roll of officers of Royal Engineers at head— quarters, Chatham, on his being trausferred to the corps of Royal Artillery. His royal highness has been entertained at a farewell dinner by the officers of the Royal Engineers, at Br ompton Barracks, previously to his formally quitting the Royal engineer establishment. Dr. Thomson, Archbishop of York, opened, on Friday night, the winter course of lectures in connection with the Edinburgh Philosophical Institution, with a criti cism on modern positivism, with the view of shewing the insufficiency of a philosophy which takes no account of other knowledge than that acquired by the senses ; that the natural system of the world touched the miraculous at both ends, and that it is impossible to leave out of any true philosophy God, freedom, duty, and immortality. The lecture was characterised by considerable felicity of defi nition and general terseness and graphicness of description. Great curiosity has been expressed as to what M. Thiers is engaged upon at this moment. During the last five or six months the illustrious statesman has purchased more than 150 volumes on natural history ; the latest works, the most recent discoveries, all the progress of science is the subject of his studies. It is now stated that for many years past M. Thiers has been occupied in writing an important book, in five or six volumes, on religion, philosophy, general history, arts, and sciences. The first portion is now completed ; the few amongst the friends of the author who have read some pages render homage to the ardour of the profession of faith set forth in the work. A correspondent of an evening paper comments on the indiscreet way in which Mr. Reverdy Johnson is being treated in this country. His friends seem to be doing all they can to bring him into disrepute with the dominant party in his own country. At the Sheriffs' dinner to Mr. Johnson on Wednesday last, Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Cotton, after bestowing on the people of the States the usual plentiful allowance of butter, proceeded to qualify it with acid as fol lows:—" There was yet ono thing to be done, namely, to restore to the Southern States all the rights of the Union, and all the State privileges. Cheers.) The American Republic would then be perfect, and all its influences and laws materially strength ened." Now, most people are aware that the ques tion, of which the alderman thus disposes, as it were, in a few words of exuberant innocence, is one of the most diffi cult ever submitted to the judgment of a people. The Republican party, right or wrong, have decided it their own way. And the majority of the nation, by the recent Presidential vote, has deliberately adopted this policy. One word of assent, therefore, by Mr. Beverdy Johnson to the suggestion thus ingeniously tendered for his acceptance by the Alderman would have compromised the envoy with that party which now controls the Legislature, ltd in fog mentla# time they c . eatret the exegytim _ • NORTITCOTE EXPLAINS HIMSELF. Sir Stafford Northcote writes again to explain 'what Be said about the disestablishment of the Irish Church. He gives the Hon. Mark Rolle a long explanatory letter. " I understand," says he, " that some of my friends in North Devon are uneasy in consequence of my answer when I was asked at Torrington whether I would pledge myself never to consent to the disestablishment of the Irish Church, and that they are also dissatisfied with the terms in which I wrote to Mr. Gladstone respecting his speech at Wigan. Ido not for a moment suppose that you, who were present when I spoke at Torrington, misunderstood the answer I gave ; but as it has been industri ously misrepresented by our opponents, and as the misrepresentation has been endorsed by no less a person than Mr. Gladstone, I think it right to ask you, as the chairman of the Conservative committee for North Devon, to allow me, through you, to assure our friends that I am as heartily and sincerely desirous to maintain the Church Establishment in Ireland as it is possible for any man to be, and that no efforts of mine will be wanting to preserve it. It is true that when I was asked at Torrington to give what is called a pledge upon the subject I declined to do so. I have never given a pledge upon the hustings, and I never will do so, either upon this or any other question. I consider that it is the duty of a candidate to state his opinions, and this I have never shrunk from doing. Upon the question of the maintenance of the Irish Church Establishment, I have in the course of the last few weeks stated mine at least a dozen times. But I consider that it is equally a candidate's duty to refuse to give pledges as to what he will do under circumstances which he cannot foresee, and as I should refuse to do so when honestly asked by a friend, much more did I refuse at Torrington, where the demand was made by an opponent, apparently with no other object than that of entangling me. My reason for writing as I did to Mr. Gladstone was, that in two sepa rate reports of his speech at Wigan (in the Times and in the Standard), he was represented as having put into my mouth words which I not only never used, but which were as nearly as possible the direct contrary of those which I did use ; and upon these, as it seemed, he founded an argument which would have had some force if I had really said what he was represented to have attributed to me. Thinking that he bad been misled by some incorrect report, I wrote to set him right. He has since informed me that he was misreported, and that he in reality quoted my words correctly, namely, that I would not pledge myself under all circumstances to resist dii. establishment. Upon this foundation Mr. Gladstone rests the charge, that it does not appear that the main taining of the Irish Church is really written in my purposes, my understanding, and my heart. I confess that while I am perfectly indifferent as to the abuse of such authorities as Mr. Pynsent and the Western Times, I am both surprised and pained to find a man like Mr. Gladstone imputing to me lukewarmness, and even, as I read his speech, insincerity, upon a question on which I have never wavered for a moment, simply because I have given an answer upon the subject of indefinite pledges, such as I firmly believe Mr. Gladstone himself, or any other experienced statesman, will admit to be constitu tional and right. I will only say, in conclusion, that I adhere firmly to the opinions which . I have expressed in all my speeches during the canvass, that I regard the dis establishment of the Church in Ireland as an uncalled for, unstatesmanlike, and dangerous measure, and that I shall resist it to the best of my power. At the same time, I equally adhere to my refusal to give a general pledge, upon this or any other subject, as to what I will or will not do at any future time under circumstances which it is impos sible for me to foresee. MI?. STANSFZLD AT BURY, Mr. Stansfeld has been speaking at Bury on trades unions and the national expenditure. On theformer subject he " impressed " upon his hearers that we should be cautious and thoughtful in addressing ourselves to the question of legislation in reference to trades unions ; which will not be the unmaking of laws imposing monopolies, but which is much more likely to be, or attempted to be, the making of laws imposing restrictions upon the right of association of Englishmen. On the question of the national expenditure; he remarked that the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in his letter to Mr. Crosse, stated the case of Mr. Disraeli's Government, that amongst the instances of in creased expenditure rendered necessary by the neglect of their predecessors was no less a sum than half a million upon the navy of the country. This is, continued Mr. Stansfeld, what Mr. Ward Hunt says. He would call their attention, he further says, to the statement of Sir John Pakington made, in August 1866, in which he says he regretted the unsatisfactory state in which he found the reserve, indeed in such a state that the Admiralty had great difficulty in finding relief for the ships which returned from foreign service. If that half million had been asked for and spent by Sir John Pakington and his successor, Mr. Corry, in adding to our forces, armoured vessels, or at least if it had been expended in giving us some of the newest and most efficient vessels of the Monitor type, such expenditure, per se, would have been justified, or the only question would then have been that raised by Mr. Gladstone, whether the Admiralty could not and should not have been able to meet the expenditure by economy in some other direction. But would you believe it, gentlemen, in this day of rapid pro gress in invention, when no unarmoured vessel can live within a mile of our modern guns—would you believe it, that half a million of money—that extra half million besides much more—was asked for from the House of Com mons, and was spent by the Admiralty in the construction of wooden unarmoured vessels, most of these vessels being, as I have several times stated, small, slow, and weak, and for purposes of warfare thoroughly valueless vessels? Now, I came forward at this point of the proceeding, and I was replied to by Lord H. Lennox, the present Secre tary to the Admiralty, who looked at the estimates instead of at the accounts, and he stated that the estimates proved that the excess of expenditure was not upon unarmoured but upon armoured vessels. Well, it took him a long time to say it, and it was the pith of his speech. Well, I replied to the speech. I shewed, first, that estimates could not form conclusive evidence of actual expenditure, and shewed further that the naval estimates generally distinguished between the sums asked for for the building of armoured and unarmoured vessels, and I went through the accounts. That there might be no question as to the authority of the accounts, I referred to the statement of accounts brought before the House of Commons by the chief of Lord Henry Lennox, and I found Mr. Corry, in the following year, when it appeared to be to the interest of the Admiralty to take credit for the expenditure in the building of ships, making this comparison. He said, in the year of Liberal estimates and partial Conservative expenditure, a sum of £429,819 had been spent in the building and equipping for sea of wooden nnarmoured vessels ; but, says Mr. Corry, in the next year, a year of Conservative estimates and Administration, we spent £929,344. Now, if you will subtract £429,000 from £929,000, you will find that the result is half a mil lion, and this is the excess of expenditure upon unarmoured vessels under Mr. Corry, as shewn in his statement to the House of Commons. The Secretary to the Navy— he is a very gallant defender, as he is in duty bound to the depart. ment which he represents—returned to the charge the other day; and what did he say? The money spent upon these unarmoured vessels, he states, was not spent simply upon the hulls and engines, but on the rigging and masts as well. Well, I should like to know how a vessel would go to sea without rigging and masts. It might as well go without engines as without rigging and masts. Lord Lennox makes answer to another charge. He went back to the estimates. I do not much wonder at that. He looked down the estimates ; he finds amongst the votes one vote (10th, section 2), which is the vote of the money which Parliament is asked to provide for the building of vessels, whether armoured, built in the dockyard, or by contract. Well, he tells his constituents at Chichester that the greater portion of that expenditure was upon armoured vessels, and concludes, " I have refuted Mr. Stansfeld." Lord Henry Lennox may not understand, but the public and the press have understood, that it is a matter of very little importance for the purposes of this discussion under which vote or votes the money was taken. We have to look at the excess of expenditure. The question is, was my statement accurate or not—the bold and positive statement—that under the accounts of the Admiralty brought before the House of Commons we have recorded and admitted an actual excess of half a million of money in the building of unarmoured vessels ? There was Litany and Holy Communion on Friday in the parish church of East Brent, Archdeacon Denison having invited twelve clergymen, hislmmediate neighbours, of all shades of theological opinion, to givo oppoi tunity for joint intercession and prayer for the guidance of those whose office it is to fill up the vacant see of Canterbury. Mr. Ditcher, the well-known prosecutor of the Archbishop, we are told, cordially entered into the plan. An addition has just been made to the require ments of candidates for the Little-go, and a very proper one. It has been a matter of surprise that the university should ever have permitted men to pass as graduates who displayed a total ignorance of grammatical construction or orthography. Now, both are an essential. It will be impossible for the future to receive the degree of B.A. without first being proficient in those rudiments, deficiency in which is hardly excusable in a national schoolboy, much less in the case of a pionajnr of the 1111.11Wifith , t i P • fp L i ft TT .IW*l°- HER MAJESTY.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE_ This Day. MARLBORO UGH-S TREET. ROBBERY AT THE RALEIGH CLUB.—Charles Van Hoven, a Dutch commission agent, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with stealing an u mbrella at the Raleigh Club, Regent-street, the property of Mr. Charles Graham, a member of the club. Mr. Froggatt appeared for the prisoner. James Clarke, the Lall porter of the club, sai a that on Saturday night, about eight o'clock, he WO standing in the hall of the club when he heard a footstep, and on looking round he saw the prisoner take an umbrella from the umbrella-stand and make for the door. He stepped forward and asked the prisoner what he was up to, when he threw the umbrella on the mat and bolted. He went after the prisoner, who went into the back entrance of Carlton Chambers, where he was secured and given into custody. The umbrella was the property of Mr. Graham, a member of the club. Police-constable Datson, 86 C, said that on going to take the prisoner into custody he made off, but he went after him and took him, and, after a violent struggle, succeeded, with assistance, in getting him to the station. The prisoner shammed drunkenness, and said he did not know what be was doing, and at the same time asked him what be would be done to. The prisoner, however, was not at all drunk. Mr. Froggatt having cross-examined the Wit nesses and addressed the magistrate on prisoner's behalf, Mr. Mansfield expressed his intention of sending the case for trial. Mr. Froggatt said that, acting under his advice, the prisoner would plead guilty, and having done so he was committed for three months with hard labour. CHARGE OF STABBING.—JOIIII Williams, a 11 " bourer, was ehargel before Mr. Mansfield with violently assaulting and stabbing a man named John Jackson, living in the neighbourhood of New" port Market. Police-constable Steggles, 23 C K, said that on Sa turday night he was passing Newport Market, whe n he saw a large crowd collected, and on going up h a was told that a man had been stabbed. The ra 33 had been taken to the hospital, and the prisoner ws s pointed out to him (Steggles) as one of a n umber of men who had violently assaulted and stabbed the man. He took the prisoner into custody fo r being concerned in the assault, and after taking him to the station he went to the hospital and fetched him the injured man, who said the prisoner W 3 one of those who had assaulted him and stabbed him. In answer to Mr. Mansfield the constable said the prosecutor was not able to attend that day, aria handed in a certificate to that effect. Jeremiah Foley, a youth, proved seeing the pri' soner and a number of others ill-using a man name d Jackson, and seeing the prisoner run away he well after him, and having secured him handed him over to the police. The prisoner was remanded. CRUELTY TO A HORSE. —John Tavener, a deale r in eggs, attended to answer the complaint of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of cruelty to a poney.
