NETROPOLI7 AN GOSSlP —Thursday. Mr. Gladstone delivered last night at Liverpool one of the ablest and most eloquent speeches that even he has ever made. It was a much finer speech than that at Warrington, which was too statistical to be eloquent. The Liverpool speech was devoted chiefly to Reform and to Ireland ; and I gather from it first of all that Mr. Gladstone means to reform the Reform Bill ; next, that he means to regenerate Ireland. The Irish Church is only a part of the great Irish question which has so long baffled statesmen. To its solution the Liberal leader means to devote his energies, and if he should succeed in terminating the seven hundred years' war of races, and make Ireland loyal and the whole king dom one in heart as well as in name, he will have done the grandest work ever accomplished by British statesman. This speech of his is full of a noble ambition which takes us out of the region of party politics. It is Mr. Gladstone's answer to that great speech which Mr. Bright delivered when the Habeas Corpus Act was sus pended in Ireland two-and-a-half years ago ; a speech, which those who heard it consider to be one of the very highest flights of eloquence ever reached in Parliament. The appeals against the decisions of the revising barris ters are not nearly so numerous as they at one time threatened to be, and there seems no reason why they should not be got through in a few days. Some of them, however, will give rise to a long argument, especially the women's claim, which will come first, and in support of which Mr. Coleridge will appear. Still, there is every reason to hope that the elections will be completed by the end of next month. A week will be occupied in swearing in members and electing a Speaker. That will leave a fortnight for the debate on the Address and the critical division that will no doubt be taken upon it. The unusually early date at which the first Cabinet Council of the season has been held indicates that Ministers expect a speedy meeting of Parliament. One by one the Conservatives whom Mr. Disraeli has not educated are withdrawing from political life. General Peel has thrown up the game of politics in disgust, and Sir William Heathcote, one of the most high-minded of the old Tory party, has taken leave of Parliament. Mr. Earle, another, though youthful member of the same party, appears nowhere in the list of candidates. Sir Rainald Knightley, who had also made up his mind not to seek re-election, has thought better of his determination, and he and Mr. Sandford and Mr. BeresfOrd Hope are all candidates. They will have I to go with the herd. They lost their leader when Lord Cranborne went to the Upper House. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAI EVENING, OCTOBER 16, 1868.

The high estimation in which the South Australian Government Bonds have al ways been held is sufficiently proved by the current quo tations in the market. The existinc, Bonded Debt is an nually reduced by redemption of Bonds falling due to the extent of about £40,000 each year. Sealed Tenders, made in accordance with the annexed orm, will be received by the Bank of South Australia for ho whole or any portion of these Bonds —not being less han £loo—until noon on Tuesday, the 18th October, and he allotment will take place at that hour in the presence of such of the applicants as may desire to be present. The Bonds will be allotted to the highest bidders, pro vided the rates offered are not below the minimum which will be fixed by the Agent General and placed in a sealed envelope on the table before the Tenders are opened, but the sealed envelope will only be opened in case the Agent General declares that the whole amount has not been ten dered at or above his minimum. Tenders at a price including a fraction of a shilling other than sixpence will not be preferentially accepted, and in the event of an equality of fenders beyond the amount of these Bonds, a pro rata distribution on such Tenders will be made. In the same way the Bonds falling duo at the different dates will be distributed, as regards the dates, as near as possible ' amongst the successf u l t en d erers. Ten per Cent. on the nominal value of these Bonds must be paid to the Bank of South Australia as soon as the al lotment is made, and the balance not later than Tuesday, the 10th November, when the Bonds will be delivered. Tenderers to whom allotment may be made can have their Bonds earlier, if they desire it, by paying the balance less the discount at the then rate of the Bank of England. Forms of Tender may be obtained at the Office of the Bank of South Australia, or of the undersigned. FRANCIS S.

REID, M.A. CONSIDERABLE success in the past and much more promise for the future, was justly claimed at the annual meeting of the United Kingdom Alliance. The war against the liquor traffic is clearly making progress. Its justice is rapidly being acknowledged by the nation, and the Legislature, which formerly knew no argument against the greatest evil from which the nation suffers, has long ago learned to treat the other side of the question with respect, and is more and more according it support. The annual meeting held on Tuesday was more than usually successful. The proceedings chewed that the most important principle of the war against the liquor traffic was fast gaining ground. The great work of the Alliance has been not to prove the existence of the evil against which it strives, nor to convince people that its suppression would be a blessing; but to spread the conviction that intemperance could never be wholly overcome by moral persuasion or by any influence short of legislative enactment. The malady is wholly beyond such treatment. The argument that men cannot be made moral by Act of Parliamenk . has its place ; but it is quite out of place in a case where men have been made immoral by Acts of Parliament, and the injury can be repaired only by means similar to that which inflicted it. We are far from saying that the Parliaments which have rejected measures even to moderately repress the liquor traffic have not acted according to their convictions ; but it is certain that the spread of intemperance is very largely owing to the granting of facilities and the refusing of restric tions on the sale of drink. Intemperance, indeed, occupies a position which would be indignantly denied to any other vice. It is promoted by a distribution of poison so uncontrolled as to pollute even the portion of society to which it is repugnant ; it is supported by temptations which in many instances wholly neutralise the free agency of the individual. As a mixture of the strong and the weak, mankind can never be tempted by facility to vice without vice itself being the inevitable consequence. And when to these considerations is added the argument that the advocates of restrictions would always decide its employment by the same method which decides every other national question—the voice of the majority the logic in favour of permissive legislation against the liquor traffic becomes overwhelming. The only plea that can be brought against the total sup pression of this disgraceful trade vanishes. The arguments against a law which is to be enforced only by a large majority proceed simply from a self interest in the preservation of the trade which the voice of the people might remove. And here we have a curious instance of the inconsistency of the opposition to the Permissive Bill. On all other questions it is argued that the genius of English institutions is against centralisation. Education, municipal government, and all other branches of administration which do not affect the country in bulk must be local. But the opposition to permissive legislation is merely a plea for one form of centralisation. if a majority can be secured iu the House of Commons, the country must be satisfied. The section of the public which supports the decision of the House of Commons must be predominant everywhere. Whether the inhabitants of any town shall or shall not be subjected to the moral corruption and public nuisance attendant upon the sale of drink is, on many accounts, as much a local question as drainage. One decision must, how ever, do for all. The House of Commons, which would cause almost a revolution by saddling every town in the kingdom with a free library, can with perfect justice impose a large percentage of the public-houses, whether the inhabitants desire them or not. It is upon the growth of popular feeling in favour of this local administration that the success of the Permissive Bill must depend. And in this respect the Alliance has not been stationary. Mr. ABEL Small's bill, for instance, must be deemed a great success. .It has not become law, but its mos t vehement opponent must admit that a measure which but three or four years ago would have been as unfavourably received as a scheme to disestablish the Irish Church, but which last session was but narrowly defeated, has attained a dangerous position. Mr. SMITH'S bill does not propose permissive enact ment, but it belongs to the same class of legislation— a class which not long ago was as unknown to "Hansard" as to the statute-book. Indeed, a Per missive Bill would be supported by many who would reject absolute legislation, even of the most restricted character. The select committee did great ser vice to the cause. "Impartially chosen," as its members were, they had no difficulty in rejecting the bill ; but, unfortunately, they were obliged to issue their report. Their conclusions might have done very well if they had not published the arguments upon which they were founded. The accumulation of testimony given before the select committee has been invaluable. Many who thought moral persuasion the sole remedy for England's disgrace in the eyes of Europe have been convinced that for an evil sui generic a remedy of like kind is required. Archbishop MANNING, for instance, has relinquished moral persuasion and decided in favour of enactment. Amongst candidates for the House of Commons the Permissive Bill has made way; many are openly declaring for it, and many more reserve their decision. In the expiring Parlia ment the question notoriously progressed. Agree ment amongst candidates to have no committee rooms in public-houses is likely to have some effect in deciding the forthcoming election less .by beer than by principle. As to the sinews of war, the Alliance is not deficient; the subscription list and the guarantee fund are both in a flourishing condition. Amongst the religious bodies the movement gains further strength. There is every reason to believe that the campaign Will be greatly advanced in the next Parliament, if indeed it be not altogether determined. In the meantime, action during the appeal to the hustings is of the first importance. The Permissive Bill should in every instance be made a direct issue between the candidate and the electoro, The retirement of Sir William Beathcote has caused no little excitement in Oxford. The Conservatives are by no means in good humour. They have really no one of any weight whom they can put forward. Mr. Mowbray is a respectable gentleman, but his claim to represent the university would not be listened to for a moment if he were a Liberal. His university career was, indeed, equal to Mr. Hardy's. Both took a second-class in classics ; but, then Mr. Mowbray has not had such a parliamentary career as Mr. Hardy's. Sir Roundell Palmer is, indeed, a formidable antagonist the most formidable that could be brought forward. For two months past the Conservative journals have been eulo gising him, at the expense of his friend Mr. Gladstone, for his course on the Irish Church. Now they suddenly find themselves called upon to depreciate the man whom they had been eulogising, and when they write against him are confronted by their own words. The High Church party are almost certain to support Sir Roundell Palmer. Dr. Pusey and Mr. Liddon were on Mr. Gladstone's com mittee in 1865, although perhaps they felt that to be rather I a strain upon their churchmanship. Sir Roundell Palmer 1 will cause no such strain, and they will support him with their whole hearts ; all except, perhaps, the ultra-ritualists, who will remember that he was one of the counsel who gave an opinion adverse to them. The con test will be severe. Were it not that the country clergy will under the new Act vote in large numbers, there is no doubt that the Liberal candidate would beat his opponent 1 as completely as Mr. Gladstone beat Mr. Round, Dr. Marsham, Mr. Ward, and the present Colonial Secretary, the Duke of Buckingham. But under existing arrange ments it would be foolish to offer a prediction. Mr. W. H. Smith, the champion of the Conservative working men of Westminster, and the opponent of Mr. Mill, very imperfectly understands the true requirements of working men. He has hired a number of public-houses as committee-rooms, and has thus entered into an alliance with the greatest enemy of the working man—the publican. Mr. Forster and Mr. Miall, the Liberal candidates for Bradford, have committed the same blunder—rather call it a sin. Another Liberal candidate, who comes forward as the champion of the working classes at Halifax, and who is dividing the Liberal interest there, is the subject of a very disagreeable pamphlet which has been issued this week. The writer of it was formerly the clerk of this candidate—Mr. Greening—and accuses him of having falsified his accounts, in order that he might obtain a larger sum from the Cobden Co-operative Mills than he I was entitled to receive. The pamplilet is either a libel, in which case the subject of it ought to prosecute the author, or Mr. Greening ought not to be a candidate for Halifax or any other place. The brochure is written with singular moderation and freedom from invective. The author publishes a copy of the cash-book with which Mr. Greening is said to have tampered. This quarrel partly explains, I suppose, the reason why the shares of the company have lately been so depressed, and also why an additional call has lately been--made upon the share holders. It would be well if Mr. Hughes and Mr. Morrison, who are directors of the concern, would look well into it. The mills are not an ordinary joint-stock company. They are an attempt to apply to production the principle of co-operation which has until lately been applied only to distribution, and it would be a matter of much regret if this interesting experiment—which, if successful, would be a solution of a most difficult social problem—should fail by reason of any mismanagement or misconduct on the part of those engaged in it. The Bishop of Exeter, whose gradual decay and approach ing death are announced, is, though the oldest bishop on the bench, not the oldest member of the Episcopate. He is 91 years of age, and has been Bishop of Exeter thirty seven years. But the Bishop of Winchester, who is thirteen years younger, has been bishop five years longer. He was consecrated to the see of Llandaff in 1826, and translated to Winchester in 1827, so that he has presided over that diocese for more than forty years. I believe the oldest of our Church digni taries is Dr. Gamier, Dean of Winchester, who is considerably over 90 years of age. On the sup position that the Bishop of Exeter w ill no t surv ive for many weeks, it will fall to a Conservative Government to appoint, and I trust that the so-often-proved necessity of a division of the diocese, and the creation of a bishopric in Cornwall, will be fairly considered. With reference to the bishopric of New Zealand, I may mention that the Record confirms the announcement which was first made in this correspondence some weeks ago, that Mr. Randall, of Newbury, will be the new bishop. The Times is just now doing its best to write up the claims of the " Abyssinian captives" to some compensa tion at the hands of the nation. Ido not find that the efforts of the leading journal are approved of by those who are well acquainted with the events in Abyssinia. The estimate formed of Mr. Rassam, at all events, is by no means of the very highest kind. It is alleged that he deceived Theodore with regard to Sir Robert Napier's demands. The Emperor supposed that the terms which he had offered had been accepted, and was terribly surprised when he found that Magdala was bombarded. Mr. Rassam does not, I am informed, deny that the Emperor was mistaken, but justifies his own conduct in not undeceiving him by the fear that if he told Theodore what the English general's demands were all the prisoners would have been put to death. The more this Abyssinian affair is inquired into the less satisfactory it becomes. There are now rumours that the bill will be a good deal heavierthan was expected. But that is a small matter compared with the alleged breach of faith. My budget of literary news is not so large as usual. First I have to announce a decease—the Evening Mercury, a halfpenny , evening paper, which lived just about a fort night, and died of want of circulation. When will men who enter upon journalism understand the uselessness of attempting to start a London daily newspaper with less than £lO,OOO, and without the determination to endure a loss for two years at least? The Glowworm, whose feeble light had almost disappeared, is sending forth some faint glimmer again, having come under the management of Mr. S. 0. Beeton, the pub lisher of cheap books. Some of the best articles in the Pall Mall Gazette, especially those on Church affairs, the woman's question, and international law, are written about 5 a.m. by a barrister in large practice. That very poorly-furnished magazine, The London, which has, I sup pose, never been seen out of London, and scarcely in it, is announced to appear with a new series. The Broadway has secured some well-known writers. Among them are Mr. Henry Kingsley, who is to write a new tale called " Stretton ;" Mr. Newman Hall, who is to give a series of papers on his American tour ; and (literature, like poverty, gives us strange companions) Mrs. Pender Cudlip (" Annie Thomas"), who will turn out another of hertales, in which, I presume, all the women will be engaged in intrigues and liaisons.—The papers are advertising a " new tale "by Miss Braddon, " Run to Earth ;" but it is a very old one, and was published many years ago in a by no means high-class journal.—Messrs. Allen (the Lord Mayor that is) are about to publish a Chinese novel, by Sir John Bowling. —Mr. Malcolm Maccoll, the " Scrutator" of the Guardian, has just written a work in support of Mr. Glad stone's Irish policy, entitled " Is there not a Cause ?

The new theatre in the Strand is being pushed on with speed, but is still a long way from com pletion. When it is finished there will be six theatres within ten minutes' walk of each other. The rebuilding of Her Majesty's Opera is going on very fast.

You cannot stir a step without treading upon "The King o' Scots " or " The Lancashire Lass." ~.--~" i t
