SPI:RIT OP THE PUBLIC JOURNALS• • The VIM to rot find that the rising is yet national. It is a rebellion of old Court favourites, statesmen, and generals. The Queen has abandoned the principles which placed her on the throne, and taken into her counsels the reactionary party. It would ha ve been easy for her, as a , .constitutional sovereign, to have made herself popular ; but instead of that she is accounted an apostate. As to the attitude of England, the Times remarks that nothing has at present transpired to make this country feel a personal and selfish interest in this Spanish move ment. But our English attitude of non-intervention, even to the extent, so far as practicable, of withholding the intimation of a mere sympathy, would be unchanged were its ends and aims as manifest as they are now obscure. So far as the interests of this country are con cerned, the result most to be deprecated would be the establishment of a weak Government one inviting domestic intrigues and plots for its overthrow, or the seizure of power under it—a Government which might seek desperately to divert the attacks of the various plrties in the country from itself to some external object. But we desire a strong Government, of whatever form, for Spain in the interests of Spain herself. Her Administrations have not given her a fair chance of development for the last century and a half ; but at the rare intervals when her rulers have shewn a public spirit the prosperity of the country has ever risen as if by magic. There have even been periods under the present reign—at the time preceding, for instance, the Morocco war—when the kingdom seemed ready to emerge and resume its natural rank among European Powers. Its unused wealth of material resources is abundantly ascertained. But a race with a history like its, of sturdy resistance at home to foreign oppression and of stubbornly grasped predomi nance, at one epoch, abroad, must have, too, a solid national spirit lying somewhere hidden. We believe that this would appear if duly summoned, and when evoked would produce in Europe a different opinion of Spain from any which it has been able to form from the Court of Queen Isabella. If the pending revolution only throw this spirit to the surface, there will be little cause to regret the downfall of the Bourbon dynasty. The Herald concludes that the days of the present dynasty are numbered. The hapless Queen, who has so sadly disappinted the hopes, so grievously trifled with the destinies of a proud and sensitive people, will have herself only to blame if the world looks on coldly while she is driven forth from her kingdom, if no tears are shed for her degradation, if scarcely any pitying eye follows her into exile, if that sympathy which in other lands is so widely and loyally felt for the Throne makes an excep tion of hers. That they never learned and never forgot has been said of the Bourbons before, but her subjects aver that they have other causes of discontent with Isabella 11., Queen of Spain. If the present move ment succeeds, and the Queen is forced to abdicate, we cannot believe for a moment that the generals or the Cortes will pay any attention to the choice which she may snake of her successor. She is not likely to choose her sister, of whom she is jealous, nor does it seem that any influential party in Spain is in favour of the Infanta Louisa as Queen of Spain, with the Duc de Montpensier, son of Louis Philippe, as King Consort. As far as we can see, the design which was attributed to the Citizen King, at the time of the Spanish marriages, of placing his descendants on the Throne of Spain in default of the direct line of Louis XIV., is likely to be frustrated. Nor is there said to be much chance of the eldest son of the Queen, the Prince of the Asturias, who is now eleven years old, being allowed to succeed her ; nor of her daughter, the Countess Girgenti, being chosen by the Cortes. There is a report that the Queen, if driven to abdicate, has some thought of putting forward her cousin, Don Carlos, the representative of the direct male line ; but though this Prince has made public profession of his Liberal principles, we no reason to suppose that he would prove acceptable to the leaders, who seem deter mined to set their faces against the whole Bourbon family. Mention has been made of the king of the border country of Portugal, but though such a choice would seem to corn mend itself on many grounds, we are not sure that the Iberian party is strong enough in Spain to justify any attempt just now at the union of the whole of the Penin piula under one sceptre. The Herald cannot believe that any dream so wild as the establishment of a republic has entered the heads of the leaders of the party. A LADY ORATOR. Mrs. Fellowes, the wife of the member for Huntinggon: shire, returned thanks for the ladies, proposed by General Peel at the Huntingdonshire agricultural dinner. The speech was as follows :—" Gentlemen, in responding on behalf of the ladies present, I have to thank very cordially my right hon. and gallant friend General LPeel, for proposing, and you for receiving, the toast so kindly, for two causes: first, that my own name is specially mentioned in the toast ; and secondly, that here atßamsay, at my own loved home, ladies have for the first time been invitedte join in your festive meetings. By your reception of us this day I gather that you like to see us here. I can assure you one and all that we take the liveliest interest in everything that concerns agriculture, and we have done our best to give you here a warm and hearty reception. I hope this will not be the last time that the Huntingdon- shire agricultural meeting will be held at Ramsey. Once more I tender you our grateful thanks." Mrs. Fellowes was enthusiastically cheered by the farmers. THE EFFECTS OF SMOKING ON BOYS. The Standard remarks that Mr. Fortescue's colleagues have very recently arrived at the conclusion that the Irish Church " cry " is not altogether a success, and, following the key-note of Mr. Gladstone, they have turned their attention to finance. Delenda est has given place to the exaltation of Liberal economy as contrasted with Tory extravagance. There appeared to be something tangible, something that would strike home to the heart of the British taxpayer, in the fiction which represented him as burdened with an extra three millions a year solely because the Tories were in and the Liberals out. It by no means detracts from the praise fairly due to the energy and courage with which Mr. Gladstone's "rising young men" sought to propagate this new romance that it should have ended in a refutation as disastrous as it was complete. The replies of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and General Peel were simply annihilating, and the eulogists of Mr. Gladstone's finance and the denouncers of Mr. Disraeli's profligacy found themselves hoist with their own petards. The tables were turned upon them selves. Facts and figures were quoted to prove that Liberalism meant increased expenditure, and thus the ingredients of their poisoned chalice were commended to their own lips. It is a mark, therefore, at once of defeat and of acquiescence in defeat, that Mr. Fortescue should manifest such eagerness to shift the quarrel to the old battle-ground of the Irish Church. The most significant, and indeed the only novel point in Mr. Fortescue's speech is that in which he addresses himself to the argument that the English Establishment is compromised by the policy directed against the Irish Church. Like Mr. Gladstone, the right honourable gentleman holds that the English Church is secure, because it is " throned in the hearts of millions ;" but when he is reminded that the two Establishments are part and parcel of the same " United Church of England and Ireland as by law esta blished," he assumes a very different tone. " If," he says, " we are to reckon the Establishment of Ireland and the 'Establishment of England as 'one single Church "—and in law and fact they undoubtedly are so—" then the mem bers of the Church in the two countries, reckoning on the millions of the Irish Roman Catholics, are reduced to a minority," and in that case the precedent of the Irish Church must inevitably be applied to her English sister. We have always said so; but this is the first time we have found a responsible Liberal statesman admitting as much. The Times says that even in private life the expression of friendly sentiments is of much importance to the main tenance of friendship so is it with nations. If a man be fighting for his life, his best frie nd meets with sorr y treat ment if he interfere ; and the Americans must forgive us for saying that they would not have been the great people they are if they had been capable at such a time of taking a calm and reasonable view of matters which were affected by this struggle. Englishmen took sides in the civil war, not because they were hostile to the Americans, but because they were one with them, and shared, in a remarkable degree, the differences which prevailed in the United States them selves. If the Americans were themselves engaged in a civil war, can they be surprised that there were differences of opinion, and even warm differences, on the same sub jects among Englishmen? And while t he excitement lasted we could neither of us do justice to any other consi derations. But it has subsided, and the time has fully come for restoring the balance of sentiment and re awakening the feelings which lie permanently at t he heart of both nations. The Times alludes to the friendly correspondence between Generals Lee and Rosecranz. If General Rosecranz and General Lee are resolved to forget all past differences, can there be any difficulty in removing all subjects of disagreement between England and America ? Mr. Johnson's reception proves the friendly state of feeling on our side, and he responds with suitable warmth. In a word, the sum of his speech is, in the first place, to remind us that our differences ought to be settled, and, in the next place, to assure us, on the authority of one who is thoroughly acquainted with them, that there is no difficulty in obtain ing such a settlement. These receptions render it evident that we both have the will, and it will now be easy to find the way. We have .only to give one another credit for good intentions, and to be prepared to make allowances for the infirmities of human nature on an occa sion of extraordinary excitement. If we are ready to recognise the possibility of errors on both sides, it will be easy on recognised grounds of equitable compensation to adjust the balance of mutual but unintentional injuries. "The United States, which acts always as our pioneer on the political highway "—from whom can this phrase have proceeded ? From Mr. Bright, addressing a mass meeting of Birmingham artisans ; from Mr. Goldwin Smith, informing the youthful Radicalism of Oxford ; from Mr. Mill,meditating in apocalyptic vi on at Asivignon the future triumphs of democr ac y ; from Mr. Beales at Adelphi-terrace ; or from Mr. Ernest Jones at Men chester ? The words are none of theirs. Truth is stranger than fiction. The speaker, says the Daily Ne ws, was Lord Robert Montagu, of old the henchman of Lord Cranborne in the House of Commons, and now a member of Mr. Disraeli's Government, and Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education. His transition from the old Toryism of the handful of middle aged young gentlemen who used to cluster about Lord Cranborne on the front bench below the gangway to the new Tory-Radicalism of Mr. Disraeli was violent ; but Lord Robert Montagu has gone yet further, and nulled apparently into Radicalism without the Tory prefix and qualificatnn, lie has waded so far in revolutionary prinples that to return would be more laborious than to go on. What particular part of our institutions, we should like to ask Lord Robert Montagu are we first to reconstruct on the American model? Is the Tory mind, to be educated into the adoption of vote by ',allot, equal electoral districts, the voluntary system in religion, and an elective Upper Cham ber? The particular point on which Lord Robert Montagu, speaking to the farmers of Huntingdon, held imp the United States as an example for English imitation was in respect of their precautions against the c ittle 'plague. But his general principle went far beyond this application of it. The abandonment of old prejudices is laudable ; but there is such a thing as rushing with too much eagerness from one extreme to another, and Lord R o b e rt Montagu, when h e Americanise,;2 :a1_434 _t_44l l 4Wa_i_ Dr. Decaisne (Bull. G6neral de Ther.) in the course of investigations on the influence of tobacco on the circula tion, has been struck with the large number of boys, aged from nine to fifteen years, who smoke, and has been led to inquire into the connection of this habit with impairment of the general health. He has observed 38 boys, aged from 9 to 15, who smoked more olless. Of these, distinct symptoms wer e p resent in 27. 22 there were 'various disorders of the circulation—bruit de souffle in the neck, palpitation, disorders of digestion, slowness of intellect, and a more or less marked taste for strong drinks. In three the pulse was intermittent. In eight there was found on examination more or less marked diminution of the red corpuscles ; in 12 there was rather frequent epitaxis ; 10 had disturbed sleep; and four had slight ulcerations of the mucous mem. brane of the mouth, which disappeared on ceasing from the use of tobacco for some days. In children who were very well nourished the disorder was, in general, less marked. As to the ages, eight of the boys were from nine to 12 years old ; nineteen from 12 to 15. The duration of the habit of smoking was, in eleven from six months to a year, and in sixteen more than two years. The ordinary treatment of anaemia in general produced no effect as long as the smoking was continued ; but, when this was desisted from, health was soon perfectly restored, if there were no organic disease.—British Medical Journal. LAW AND POLICE. ALLEGED MANSLAUGHTER BY A POLICEMAN.—WiIIiam Kerridge, a police-constable, has been indicted for felo niously killing and slaying Henry Frogmore, a pensioner. The constable had questioned the deceased as to his mode of living, and receiving abuse in reply, he took him by the collar and threw him on his back. Death resulted from concussion of the brain. The jury, after deliberation, returned a verdict of guilty, accompanied by a strong recommendation to mercy. Mr. Justice Keating, in passing sentence, remarked that the prisoner, in a moment of irritation, undoubtedly com mitted an act which was followed by the logs of life, but the circumstances were of so mitigating a character as to entirely warrant the strong recommendation of the jury, and the sentence of the court was that the prisoner be im prisoned for one week. LEAVING A TRAIN IN MOTION.—At the Hammersmith Police-court two passengers have been summoned. at the instance of the Great Western Railway Company, for having left a train in motion on the platform of the Ken sington station. The defence was that the guard had jumped from the train before it had stopped, and com menced unlocking the doors, and that the train moved on after it had once pulled up. The magistrate did not believe that there had been an intentional breach of the com pany's bye-laws, and dismissed both summonses. CAB LAW. —During the late cab strike a hackney car riage proprietor arrived at the King's-cross station of the Great Northern Railway, and told a privileged cabman to drive him to the Camden-road. He had scarcely entered the vehicle when he was recognised by several cabmen, who called out to the driver not to take him. The driver at once ordered his " fare " to get out, and on his refusing to do so, the cab was driven into a remote corner of the station, where it was suddenly over turned, and its occupant was injured. For this he took out two summonses, one for refusing to take him to his destination, and the other for misbehaviour. The case has been heard at the Clerkenwell Police-court, and the magistrate held that, as the railway station was private pr-perty, the complainant could obtain no redress for the refusal to convey him to his destination. The second sum mons was also dismissed, Mr. Cooke holding that the charge could not be sustained under the provisions of the Hackney Carriage Act. A summons was, however, granted on a charge of common assault. DISPUTED PROPERTY,—Mr. Edward George Barnard, of Cox's Hotel, Jermyn-street, was summoned before Mr. Tyrwhitt, at Marlborough-street Police-court, by Mr. Samuel Courtauld, of Gosfield Hall, Essex, for detaining a chair wrongfully taken from Mr. Courtauld's chapel or pew in Gosfield Church. The real purport of these proceedings was to try the right of Mr. Courtauld, as owner of Gosfield Hall, to a certain aisle or chapel, called Wentworth Chapel, in the parish church of Gosfield, as appurtenant to the mansion of Gosfield Hall. The tech nical point was the detention of a chair which used to be a portion of the furniture of the pew. The real question was whether the de facto ownership of an estate carried the right to the possession of a pew. Mr. Tyrwhitt gave judgment for the plaintiff—but the matter in no way touches on the general question of pews and pew ;nts. The Oswestry Advertiser states that at a dinner which Sir Watkin W. Wynn gave ''q tenants at Llange dwyn on Thursday, ho announce the rabbits on his estate wero to be destroy , d. The members of the Leeds Chamber of Commerce, at a meeting held yesterday, accepted a proposal to sub scribe for a testimonial to Air. Beccroft, M.P., in recognition of his services as a representative of the borough. The amount of the subscription is limited to one guinea. . --- In England there are 103 constituencies, returning 174 members, which at present are without opposition can didates. Supposing that this state of things contiuue, these lenstituencies will send to the Commons' House of Parlia ment 93 Liberals and 81 Conservatives. The Archbishop of Canterbury has returned from the Continent much relieved from rheumatism, and was able to hold his ordination on Sunday in Addington Church, though suffering somewhat from a bronchial attack. The sermon was preachei by the Rev, A. P. Cust, of St. Mary's, Reading. In view of the approaching general election, Thursday, October 1, is to be set apart by "Christians re siding in London and its neighbourhood " as a day of united prayer. Lord Ebury is announced as president, and several eminent leaders of the Evangelical party will take part in the proceedings. A gentleman at Glastonbury, in Some►setabire, has an apple-tree growing in his garden which has blos somed twice this year, and is now producing the second crop of apples. The lint crop was a very good one. Also in a garden at Lewes, in Sussex, there aro apple and pear trees now in full bloom for the second time this year. ---- A woman named Volans, who has been receiving parish relief at Wakefield, hie, the g ;r.l diani Lave learnt, the nice little sum of £4OO d p )sited in ti.e b if:. The board, therefore, have resolved to demand th r..turn of the money sho has received from them, and to take proceedings to compel her to refund it should she refuse to do so. The absurdities of the "pew system" have seldom if ever been so aptly illustrated as by an advertisement in the Staffordshire Sentinel. In this paper an announcement is made that there is " to be let or sold," at Old Church, Hen ley, " a front pew under the organ gallery," -which, it is specially declared, " will seat seven persons, and commands a view of nearly the whole congregation." On Wednesday, the marriage of Walter S. North , cote, Esq., eldest son of the Bight lion. Sir Stafford North- I cote, Bart., her Majesty's Secretary of State for India, with Elizabeth Lucy, eldest daughter of H. S.

Twenty women have been put on the register of county voters at Todmorden. The conservative objections to the £l2 occupiers were invalid, and among the claimants having this qualification were twenty women. Mr. Cole, the revising barrister, considering that he had no objection before him, ruled that he had no discretion in the matter, and allowed the ladies to remain on the list. A certain number of the inhabitants of Hanover have presented to tl:e Prince Royal Ernest, on the occasion of his birthday, a sword of great value. The hilt is of gold, o rnamented with a large diamond surrounded by small bril liants, and the scabbard of silver. On one side of the blade is the inscription :—" Dieu et mon droit, nunquam retror sum," awl towards the point :—" Lagenalza," with a quo tation from the sth verse of the 125th Psalm. The Revising Barrister at Bury has "made an ex ample" of the assistant-overseer for Elton. That official had placed on the register a large number of persons who had received parish relief, and were, therefore, disqualified, and had, besides, inserted his own name, although he bad only occupied the house for six months. The Revising Barrister regarded this conduct as dereliction of duty, aiul 4404 do offePding 04040.4, THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING , SEPTEMBER 25, 1868. LORD NAPIE.R OF MAGDAL.C_AT- EDINBURGH'. On TuesdaY the Lord Provost waited on Lord NajAei Of atM`Gregor's Royal Hotel, and by request drove him to various parts of the city. The party went first to the High School, thence to the University, where they went through the several class-rooms and visited the court-room and library. They then proceeded to the Museumof Science and Art, after a cursory inspection of which they went to the establishment of the Medical Missionary Society in the Cowgate. In the whole of this excursion through the city, Lord Napier, as we understand, expressed great anxiety to have information respecting the condition of the humbler classes, and the means adopted for their social and religious elevation. His lordship had in the morning visited the castle in order to inspect the accom modation of the soldiers in garrison, and, it seems, was not greatly pleased with various matters which fell under his attention. He made the observation to the Lord Provost that the means for recreation, including the arrangements of the reading-room, were greatly inferior to what he had noticed in France. The Lord Provost stated that he had noticed the same deficiency, and that as regards Edinburgh the consequences were deplorable. The commander of the regiment which had lately left the castle mentioned that on arriving the privates in the corps had owned the sum of £5,000 in the savings bank, every shilling of which was spent in dissipation during their stay in town, some of the men spending as much as from £2O to £3O a piece in two or three days ; facts which spoke strongly as to the want of healthful recreation in the castle, and the tempta tions to vice in the city. On hearing these circumstances, Lord Napier adverted to what in various ways might be done to elevate the soldier. His lordship, along with Lady Napier, left Edinburgh for Glasgow at two o'clock. In parting from the Lord Provost, Lord Napier said that he hoped to be able on his return from India to revisit Edinburgh, in which he now takes a lively and peculiar interests—Scotsman. 7 HE 'AIN. generals, but such reports are quite unfounded. It was no easy matter to bring about a coalition of the various political shades, but I think we may rely on their holding together, at least until their com mon object is attained. Besides, how do these pur veyors of news get their intelligence about the pri vate differences of men whose own friends are with out other news of them than rumour supplies. After the rising at Cadiz there was a vast deal urgent to be done, and the generals went their dif ferent ways in order to do it. They have no time for bickerings. A CHARGE MADE BY A FRIEND. The following appears in an evening paper :—" An occurrence took place at Dungarvan the other day which deserves strict attention. One Dr. Sally, a Roman Catholic priest, who is a warm supporter of Serjeant Barry, is reported to have declared that it was `a hellish lie got up from the lowest pits' to say that Serjeant Barry prosecuted the Fenian. As Serjeant Barry most undeniably was counsel for the Crown on many accasions, this assertion seemed a bold one ; and accordingly Dr. Hally explained it by saying, in language much too flowery and emphatic to be repeated at length, that Serjeant Barry accepted the brief in question by Dr. Hally's advice, in order that the accused might not be prosecuted by " an Orange barrister," in which case " not one at all would escape," whereas if Serjeant Barry held the brief he would be " more the advocate than the prosecutor." We cannot for a moment believe that a serjeant-at-law and a member of Parliament has been guilty of such disgraceful treachery to his profes sion and to the Government as is imputed by Dr. Hally to Serjeant Barry. If hehad been, no professional punishment could be too severe forhim ; but when such a charge is made in such a manner, when an attempt is made to secure for Serjeant Barry a seat in Parliament by claiming for him as a merit treachery to the Crown in his professional capacity, he is surely called upon to disavow so disgraceful a compliment, and to deny with the utmost publicity the charge which it implies. ,FREAKS OF A DRUNKEN CAPTAIN. An extraordinary charge of drunkenness, preferred against Charles Adam Strachan, late master of the barque Castlehow, has been investigated at Liverpool. The vessel sailed from London in March 1867, for a voyage to Val paraiso, and after trading between that place and Monte Video and San Antonios, returned to Liverpool in August of this year. During that time the captain appears to have been drunk whenever he could get at spirits, and he had frequent attacks of "the horrors," during which he threw an iron belaying-pin on one occasion at the head of his second mate and nearly killed him, and on another occasion he jumped overboard one Sunday night, and was with difficulty rescued. He used to go ashore and live in a state of drunkenness at an hotel until found and taken to the ship again. Once he got into the hands of the police, but escaped. At one place the vessel was detained a month because the captain was " spreeing" ashore. At Valparaiso he had to be put into the hospital, as ho was suffering from delirium tremens. In his fits of inebriety the ship had to be sailed and taken charge of by the first mate. Curiously enough, when no spirits were to be had the captain was an excellent sailor, and all that a master need be. On the voyage home to Liverpool he behaved steadily, but that was owing to the firmness of the mate, who threatened to break the bottles if any spirits were brought on board. When the ship arrived in Liver pool the master broke out again, and left the ship to take care of herself. The board decided that the only course they could take was to cancel his master's certificate ;_teget.r, and this was accordingly done. THE ABE.RGELE ACCIDENT. _it a meeting of the Dublin Corporation, on Tuesday, the Lord Mayor said he had received the reply of the Lord-Lieutenant to the congratulatory addresses which had been forwarded from the corporation. The Duke of Abercorn wrote : " It is with great pleasure that I tender to you my most earnest thanks for the kind feeling which has induced you to offer your congratulations on the merciful preservation of the Duchess of Abercorn and the other members of our family from the awful fate which befell so many others in the late railway accident at Abergele. I rejoice that the same merciful Providence which shielded them from harm has likewise protected others, for whose safety I beg to offer to you, as their fellow-citizens, our sincere congratulations. Our feelings are most deeply enlisted in behalf of the unhappy sufferers in this calamity, as well as those whose relations and friends were so suddenly taken from them by this appalling catastrophe, and I fully concur in the expression of sympathy which it has elicited from you. I again thank you for your demonstration of interest on our behalf, Lila I accept it with gratitude as an :ndication that th 3 close connection in which my official positio - - 3 placed me and my family with the city of ' Dublin ing the 1:-.zt tu-s years has resulted in the establishment of such personal regard towards us on the part of its citizens. We have ever been most anxious to secure this gratifying result, and you may rest assured that no effort on our part will be omitted to cement and strengthen the kindly feelings which have prompted and are expressed in your address." Mrs. Russell, the lady murderously assaulted on Monday night, is slightly better, though not out of danger. In the district of St. Matthias, Stoke Newington, lot long ago the scene of some serious Sunday riots, the clergy have succeeded in establishing a mission chapel, which is to be formally opened on the 6th of October. Lord Mayo, who does not at present possess any lecorations, will, it is rumoured, receive the ribbon of the order of St. Patrick, vacated by the death of the Marquis of Downshire. It is believed that the other ribbon of the same order, rendered vacant by the death of Lord Farnham, will be bestowed upon the Earl of Erne. An Irish contemporary states that Lord Mayo will resign the office of Chief Secretary on the Ist of October, and will leave Dublin for India in about ton dap. after wards. Mr. Lowther, the Conservative member for York, addressing his constituents on Tuesday, amongst other sub jects spoke upon that of the Irish Church, remarking that, now that the commission had reported, it would become the duty of the Government and the Conservative party to determine the question, and, without attempting to fore shadow the policy of the Government, he felt justified in affirming that the language always held by the part) was a guarantee that they would be prepared to consider it with a view to redress any grievances and anomalies which were proved to exist, and to place so invaluable a boon as the Established Church in Ireland on a firm and, satisfactory basis. The Church News states that the reason why the Bishopric of Peterborough has not yet been filled up is that the Prime Minister has been so " pestered" by the Evange licals that he scarcely knows what course to take. There is a rumour, not mentioned by any of the Church papers, that the bishopric is likely to be conferred on a very distinguished evangelical clergyman in Buckinghamshire, whose appoint ment (if any evangelical is. to bo promoted) would be ac ceptable to the ugh Church party. The Irish Times says—" It is in contemplation to break up the military store stations in Ireland, except the two largo stations, viz., Dublin and Queenstown (Haulbow line). It is considered that a sufficient reserve of military stores can be kept at those places for the army in Ireland ; and, as there is now a network of railways in this country sufficient to afford the requisite faciliity for the transit of stores from one military post to another where they may be required, it is quite probable that Enniskillen, Athlone, and Carrickfergus will be discontinued as soon a 8 possible after the introduction of the new control system on the Ist of October next, and by which n o.ll§idgrait eaig PAlAil_Will_b4:9l9gtDcl2l ELECTION INTELLIGENCE, (From the Times' Correspondent.)

Captain Egerton took the opportunity of defending his relative the Duke of Devonshire from an attack which had been made upon him for his views respecting the Irish Church. TOWER HAMLETS.—Last night a meeting was held in the Greencoat School, Stepney, for the pur pose of hearing Mr. J. D'A.. Samuda, M.P. for Tavistock, and one of the four Liberal candidates for the borough, express his political opinions. Mr. Harrison occupied the chair. Mr. Samuda's rising was the signal for great uproar, mainly created by a small but determined body of men at the end of the room. A scene followed that almost defies de scription. The meeting rose and stood upon the benches, and a labouring man climbed up to a shelf near the ceiling and posted on the wall a large pla card announcing an open-air meeting in support of Mr. E. Beales, one of the rival candidates. In about half an hour it became evident that no business could be done, and the chairman, having declared the meeting to be dissolved, vacated his position. The meeting, however, ref used to adjourn, and continued to hiss and cheer. The man on the shelf essayed to address those present, but nothing could be heard, though his gesticulation was highly energetic. At last he gave up the at tempt to make himself heard, lit his pipe, and pointed to the Beales bill. Several attempts were made to drag him from his position, but they were strenuously resisted by a compact body of his supporters. Some posters of Mr. Coope, the Con servative candidate, were then exhibited, and were received with some enthusiasm, followed by a dis play of physical force on the part of those to whom they were not agreeable. The room was still crammed to suffocation when Mr. Samuda, sur rounded by his friends, forced his way out of the hall, pursued by alternate groans and cheers. HACKNEY.—Last night Mr. C. Reed addressed meeting of the electors at the Shoreditch Town hall, which was much crowded. Mr. Samuel Morley took the chair, and congratulated the elec tors that it was not a class which was about to vote, but, in a large sense, the people of England. He felt confident that Mr. Gladstone's majority would be at least doubled in the new Parliament. He considered that the electors of Hackney would be perfectly safe in entrusting their repre sentation to his old friend, Charles Reed. No public man could be competent to give an opinion or ex ercise an intelligent judgment upon questions con nected with Ireland without visiting that unhappy country. He had recently seen the condition of the people, and it was a disgrace to a Christian country. He had visited a large number of what he could not call the cottages, but must call the dwellings of the poor, in comparison to which his own pigstyes were palaces, and that on property which ought to be made to do its duty. Should he be fortunate enough to obtain a seat in the House of Commons, which he expected he would, he should feel that, next to this prominent Church question, which could not and ought not to be delayed, he was bound to unite in any reasonable effort to compel property to do its duties. Same means must be found by which men who were our own flesh and blood and our fellow countrymen should all be lifted out of the state of misery and wretchedness in which they were living. (Cheers.) The great curse of Ire land was an obsentee proprietorship. He saw in the measures of Mr. Gladstone hope for the coun try at last. Mr. Reed gave a general exposition of his political opinions, dealing chiefly with the Irish question. Ireland, he said, was the Poland of Eng land. This country had ruled Irishmen by penal laws, and had goaded them into disloyalty. They had forced Popery on the Irish people centuries ago, and now they wanted, by the bayonet and the sword, to force Protestantism upon them. But he felt it possible, before Mr. Disraeli went to the Mansion-house dinner, that he might yield to public opinion and give up the Irish Church. (Laughter.) He (Mr. Reed) should give a hearty support to the policy enunciated by Mr. Gladstone. A number of questions were put to Mr. Reed and answered by him. A resolution pledging the meeting to support his candidature was passed. Mr. John Holms addressed a meeting of the electors last night in the school-room of the Methodist Chapel, in Packington-street, better known as Britannia-fields Chapel. The place selected for the meeting is just without the boundary of the new borough ; the reason assigned for holding the meeting out of the borough was inability to obtain rooms sufficiently large within its limits. Mr. James Martin was called to the chair. In reply to questions, which were freely addressed to him, Mr. tiolms said he had nothing to do with the dis turbances created at the meeting of the Conserva tives held a few nights since at Shoreditch Town hall. Ile wished the contest to be conducted in a spirit of generous and gentlemanly rivalry. He would like all trades' unions to have the same [protection extended to them and their funds as was extended to benefit societies. He was not in favour of long Parliaments, and he believed that so many great questions would have to be decided by the voice of public opinion that without any legislative action whatever the duration of Parliaments would be shortened. Upon the motion of Mr. Andrews, seconded by Mr. Bull, a resolution pledging the meeting to support Mr. Holms was unanimously agreed to. ANGLESEY. --Mr. Richard Davies, of Benarth, Conway, is now the only candidate for this county. He is a Liberal,:and was opposed till lately by Lord Clarence Paget, commanding Mediterranean fleet, also a Liberal; but the latter gentleman, finding his chance of being elected during his absence exceed ingly small, has retired. Mr. Davies is a Noncon formist, and very popular in Anglesey. The Hon. W. 0. Stanley, M.P., Peurhos, Holyhead, a Radi cal, is so far the only candidate for these boroughs. BIRMINGIIASI.-IVard meetings are being held nightly by the candidates on both sides. On Wed nesday evening Mr. Sampson Lloyd and Dr. Evans addressed an important meeting of the gun trade. The interest and excitement incident to the election increase daily. It is expected that Mr. Bright will take part in the strife about the second or third w eek in Otober. It has been suggested that he should address four or five divisions of the consti tuency, that mode being regarded as more suitable to the occasion than set speeches in the Town-hall, but on this point nothing definite has yet been de termined. HALIFAx.--Mr. Stansfeld and Colonel Akroyd addressed another meeting of electors on Wednes day night. A vote of approval of the conduct of the sitting members was agreed to, but not unani mously. BLACKBURN.—At Blackburn, on the evening o the 23d inst., the Irish Church question was ap proached from a point of view differing from that in which it has been treated of late in the majority of Parliamentary boroughs. A. meeting, under the presidency of Mr. R. Hutchinson, D.L., assembled to hear a statement on the subject by the Rev. S. G. Potter, rector of Duncermack, Ireland. The rev. gentleman attributed the attack upon the Irish Church directly to the machinations of the Jesuits, and called upon those whom he addressed to join the only organization that had shown itself able to cope with them—the Orange institution. So many who formerly held aloof from their body had joined it since the recent agitation commenced that Mr. Gladstone might well be called " the Orange recruiting sergeant." CARNARVONSHIRE.—There is a very prevalent rumour that the lion. G. D. Pennant, the Conser vative M.P. for this county, and eldest son of Lord Penrhyn, will be opposed by Captain T. L. D. Jones Parry, of Madryn, Pwllheli, in the Liberal interest. No address has yet been issued by Cap tain Parry. Tke election for the Carnarvonshire boroughs, which comprise the city and borough of Bangor and the boroughs of Carnarvon, P wllheli, Cricuith, Conway, and Nevin, promises to be a ra ther severe one, and the Hon. T. J. Wynn, son and heir of Lord Newborough, standing in the Conser vative interest, and Mr. William Bulkeley Hughes, M.P., again soliciting the honour of re-election as a Liberal. The supporters of the latter candidate held a meeting in Bangor on Saturday evening, at which Mr. Hughes appeared. Many attended who evidently did not share the opinions of the speakers, who were all local, but the meeting was orderly to the end, and resolutions in favour of the candida ture of Mr. Hughes were carried. Both candidates are pursuing an active canvass. DERBYSHIRE (EASTERN DIVISION). —The Liberal candidates, the lion. Captain Egerton and the Hon. Henry Strutt, attended at Chesterfield on Monday evening a meeting of the county electors in that neighbourhood, and they were heartily wel- 7IIE UNPUNC7 UAL GUES7. He is asked for seven ; at half-past seven or a quarter to eight, in he comes, with a happy smile on his face, as if he had struck the very point of time, and knew nothing of such vulgar annoyances as chilled soup or sodden entritas. If he can say that he missed the train, he is quite at ease with himself and all mankind; if he can further say that a man came in and kept him that is reason enough and to spare for being too late for heaven. It never seems to occur to him that it was part of his duty not to be too late for the train—and that if any man whatsoever came in, his first obligation was to send him out again when the fitting moment for departure arrived. He can give no valid rea son why he should have been late. His chief duty was to keep his dinner engagement punctually , and all the rest is merely excuse, of no real value to any one. I have known a man of this kind, asked for seven, come in jauntily at nine. lie had a patient, timid hostess, who had counted on him as a tower of strength, being a man with a presence and a jovial manner, and an abundant atmosphere, and a generous vitality, and who, therefore, was of considerable value to the young dinner-giver. She waited for her tower just one hour and five minutes by the clock. When another half hour had passed he entered with the air of aprince coming to his throne, and coolly accepted the offer of such meats and dishes as had long ago been accepted as accomplished facts. He said he had been kept; further, that he had missed the train ; and he had not the shadow of remorse so soon as he had made his excuse. The distress of the young hostess, her anxiety lest her dinner should be spoilt and her guests set out of tune, the fiercer annoyance of the host, careful of his bride and sp3ciallY desirous that her trial dinner should succeed, the discomfiture of the people whose places be had already deranged and now again shifted-- all this was of no more consequence to that Inn' punctual guest than so many drops of rain fall ing gently on the back of a sailing swan. I 8111 bound to confess that my friend is notorious for this kind of thing. He is the best fellow in t he , world, frank, warm, and generoug, a f aithfu' friend, and kind and noble-hearted in- all his re' lations, but he is unpunctual.
