Reiebled by all parties, on all hands, he has throlvn himself on a dying cause, and now amuses himself by, "spouting stale sedition " on Sundays. The Tele. graph, never an enthusiastic admirer of the Reform . League, and by no means di spose d t o con d one Finlen ' s faults, seriously considers whether "James" should not be legally called to account. "No doubt persons like Finlen are in themselves so contemptible, that if dragged into a police-court they are as highly honoured as respectable men would be by an eleva tion to the peerage. But, though personally insig nificant, they may do serious mischief to ignorant people by the use of such language as that enlployed on Sund!iy. With respect to the ariqocracy and to the eg.eeution of the law, li'mlen and colhaagues used words which were a direct incentive to violence and riot." We arc disposed to think that our contemporary over-estimates the evil which Mr. Finlen is capable of doing even to " dupes." But it is worth while considering whether some means cannot be found for putting Finlen among the powers that were, without increasing either his popularity or notoriety. ANO 111.1 t, Sri NS l'En. The ambition of the ladies has been fired by the recent attempt to give them a voice in legislation. The gallant editor of the Post gives these letters the honour of leader type. "A. Spinning Spinster" now writes to complain of the difficulty of suburban driving. In the London season, when she drives a pair of ponies through the streets, she meets with great politeness from the 'bus drivers and cabmen ; but this winter she has ventured into the suburbs, and to her dismay she finds she has to dodge in various ways numberless brewers' waggons and market carts, whose drivers are engaged in after beer siestas, securely happy in the knowledge that other carriages could not hurt them. She remarks that a shriek of indignation would burst from the great unwashed if one of the Upper Ten slept in his drag and put a donkey cart in danger, The lady evidently thinks that the evil days are coining when it will be a crime to have awhite hand, and the cry of , "Aristocrat " will be followed by "A_ la lanterne." Latiis rather attribute_ her,difil4 culties to the sleepy-headed Cerberus at Scotlandl yard., who, in the estimation of the public, has slum.. bered long enough. ELECTION HUMOUR S. The election for Cambridgeshire is perhaps richer in the serio-comic element than any other. At the last election Mr. Young (L.) prayed for sympathy on account of a " domestic affliction," and Lord Royston, prompted by a friend in the secret, elicited from his opponent that the " domestic affliction" was the loss of a vessel. During the nomination for the present election Mr. Young appealed to Lord George Manners to know if he might call him his noble friend. No answer. lie spoke of the great exertions he intended to make in the next Parliament, and Lord Royston held out a flask to him. When it came to the noble lord's turn to speak he brought some accu sations against Mr. Young, and some one on the hustings gave him the " lie direct." The readers of history will always be puzzled as to the identity of this daring man. Daring he was, for only a few weeks ago Lord Royston thrashed a porter for the same offence. Mr. Young endorsed the remark so far as to say that his lordship's statement was " untrue." One of Mr. Young's supporters now writes to the Times to deny that Mr. Young gave his lordship the lie, but the reporter thinks the voice was the voice of Young. We would recommend a suitable phrase for that gentleman's use. It was adopted in the Divorce Court the other clay by a clergyman who was separated from his wife for cruelty. He stigmatised a statement of hers as an "unqualified figment of her fertile imagination.", A Liberal paper, the Bedfordshire Mercury, can . now claim admis s ion i n t o th e di s ti ngu i s h e d brother hood which introduced a mock Litany into some pro ceedings in Hyde Park. Our contemporary rejoices over the Tory defeat, and publishes an advertise ment describing the funeral of Bedford Toryism. It is simplya blasphemous parody on the Burial Service. I This is a specimen :—" A man that is born a Tory hath but a short time to live, and is full of humbug ; he springeth up like a fungus, and withereth like a cauliflower ; and is seen no more. In the midst of strife he meets his death. Oh ! Lord Derby, have mercy on his foolishness, and deliver him not again into the bitter pains and disappointments of election. Forasmuch as it hath pleased the people of this our borough to have mercy on the soul of our lx•other here departed, we therefore commit his brains to the Temple and his money to the Hall, in sure and certain hope of no resurrection." There will be very few sufficiently callous to appre ciate the humour of this. Most of us have heard the solemn service at some period of our lives--some never to smile again; others cherishing the remem brance of some noble life, and gleaning therefrom a brighter hope of immortality. The editor knows so little of human nature that he has chosen a subject upon which a laugh is almost impossible. MR. ODGER'S RETIREMENT PROM CHELSEA. A great deal has been said about the working men's candidates "making a good thing out of their job." The revelation which was made about the candidate for Stoke-upon -Trent by no means weakened the suspicions which obtained. Whispers have gone abroad concerning several other candi dates ; of none others has rumour been more positive than of Mr. Odger. The very sum which he received for retiring was named, and no little contempt has been expressed for the "honest man who was bought.' • These stories have reached the ear of Mr. Hughes, M.P. for Frome, and one of the arbi trators in Mr. Odger's case. He heard the tale on very good authority, but indignantly denied its truth. Being again assured that he was mistaken, he has written off to Sir Henry Hoare's representative in the arbitration to ask for a denial. Mr. Beal, the gentleman in question, replies " After the decision of the referees had been given and acquiesced in, I saw Mr. Odger, and asked him whether it was agree able to him that I should suggest to Sir Henry Hoare that the expenses he had personally incurred should be reimbursed him. He absolutely declined to allow me to name it. Any statement like that made to you is a libel on him and all who acted in the matter." JEWS IN PARLIAMENT. No declaration as to religion is now required of members of Parliament. The old oath has been gradually altered, until now the oath is one of alle giance merely: "I do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to her Majesty, her heirs and successors, according to law. So help me God." This oath, anyone, save a revolutionist, might take. No fewer than eight Jews will have to swear their allegiance : Baron Meyer Rothschild, H y th e; M r. Nathaniel Rothschild, for Aylesbury ; Mr. Alderman Salomons, for Greenwich; Sir Francis Goldsmid, for Reading; Mr. G. Jessel, (IC., for Dover ; and Mr. Serieant Simon, for Dewsbury. Baron Rothschild was defeated in London, Mr. H. Worms at Sand-, with, and Mr. Julian Goldsmid for Mid-Surrey. ELECTION PETITIONS. It is said that evidence exists of corrupt practices at the York election, and we are informed that petition is contemplated against the return of Mr. Lowther, the Conservative candidate.—Mr. Pender, having formerly experienced the unpleasant sensation of being unseated for bribery at Totnes, has threatened to contest the return of his opponent in Linlithgowshire j Mr. 11PLagan, whom he accuses of like conduct. AN EDITOR'S DEFEAT. This is a time of rejoicing for , that temperate the Norwich .Argus. The editor of the Norfolk: News, Mr. Tillett, having been defeated in his candidature of Norwich, the Argus is doubt ful whether to sympathise with him, or to say " Never was insolent pretender more justly hurled from the position into which his inordinate vanity had thrust him than Jacob was hurled on Tuesday last. Never was the old city, by its doings on the 17th, more exalted ; never was brawling Radical before so debased." Mr. Tillett is called a " scarecrow " and other strong names, the editor of the Argus executing a sort of war-dance round his defeated brother; but as he had already nearly exhausted the English language in finding epithets to throw at the editor of the News, he has no bad language sufficiently expressive for the occasion. If he had expected this Tory triumph he would probably have husbanded his resources better. ,;;;Air A Ml= ESCAPE. Six men have been summoned at Blackburn Under the Combination Act for unlawfully and by violence causing Edward Howcroft to leave his employment. The offence was fully proved by several witnesses. The defendants refused to work with the prosecutor. He was knocked about, pelted, and kicked, and the manager dismissed him to prevent disturbance. The defence was that Howcroft had summoned them under the wrong Act. That Act, as stated in the preamble, was directed against workmen who combined and by violence and intimidation prevented others from working, in consequence of the question of wages or the number of apprentices, but it had no bearing whatever on the present case, which was one where the workmen had squabbled among themselves as to politics, and the strong party had turned the weak out. It was stated that for twenty years the practice d_tgeating_vorkmen in. tbia. way 130 THE CURATES QUESTION. The chairman of the Council of the Free Church Society of London and Manchester has addressed a letter to the assistant curates in and near London. It is upon the subject of self-supporting missions or school churches. By means of the offertory at fre quent services an income may be obtained con siderably larger than incumbents now offer to assistant curates. A minimum of curates' income of £l5O to --C2OO per annum can be made. Their assistance is asked for the "special object -''of creating the demand for, and thereby gradually augmenting the dis3reditably low stipends of, curates—an object, it is submitted, better both for them and for the Church than a m ere l y eleemosynary addition." The lucrative result of these mission churches is said to cause opposition to the society's work, and a refusal to allow church services to be provided for the thousands of families shut out of their parish churches by the pew -rent system. The cause may be an excellent one, but the quaintly business-like appeal is rather startling. MR. TENLBS. Mr. John Timbs and Mr. Charles Knight stand forth as the favourite compilers of the day. They have together clone as much to give the people sound general knowledge and a love of culture as any other two men now living. They have not, perhaps, set forth any great scheme of education ; but they have used those means which were within reach to give the people information. It is with much pleasure, therefore, that we record that Mr. Timbs has been appointed by her Majesty as one of the sharers of the . Huggens College Fund. ,FOREIGN NOTES- AMERICA. The New York Evening Post severely attacks the &rec.., ...ors of the Erie Railway Company, unequivocally charging them with " conspiracy to defraud." The share capital amounted to seventeen million dollars at the end of 1.867.' Since then it has been increased to sixty millions bysurrep.' titious issues. No dividend that is likely to be obtained for the next generation can cover such an amount. These additions, too, were not made for the requirements of the line, but simply to beat down prices and obtain control of the property. The issues of fresh capital were of course. made at a ruinous sacrifice. There appears, however, to be no redress for the ruined investors. The New York courts have interfered, and have appointed the president of the company receiver, with power to buy back one third of the capii al, but very little hope is entertained of this remedy. The question of the sale and purchase of Cuba, says the New York Times, may be considered settled. The Spanish Government will not sell the island, and the American Government will not buy it. Spain cannot afford to sell, nor America to buy. INDIA. The Indian Gtvernment has finally decided upon a change of policy in Central Asia. The Russians perceive that their progresa in that quarter will no longer be left unheeded, and are protesting that their only object in penetrating so far is "to promote the interests of, commerce." Probably they will not object to the assist• ance of India in this laudable work. The interview, between Shere Ali of Affghanistan and Sir John Lawrence is still a matter of dispute. It is said that the Ameer cannot safely leave his terri,, tory and that the Viceroy will have to visit. Affghanistan. But it is satisfactory to find that our policy of absolute indifference to everything beyond the Himalayas is at an end. By friendship with Shere Ali, who is the rightful Ameer, India will both strengthen her own position and put an end to the anarchy and civil war which have prevailed for years amongst the first Asiatic race, the Affghans. . A GERMANY. The Grand Duke of Baden has gone to the south for the benefit of his health, say the Baden journals. But it is shrewdly suspected in some quarters that the rheumatism from which this potentate suffers has less to do with his journey than his disgust at the arrogance of General Beyer, the Prussian who officiates as the Baden Minister of War. The Grand Duke has always been favourable to joining the North German Confederation ; but the, despotic conduct of General Beyer has proved too much . even for his tolerance. Th e P russ i an , accor di ng t o one re) port, demanded the power of making all the army appoint-, ments ; according to another, they; were to be sub mitted to Berlin for approval. If, however, the Grand Duke has finally rebelled against the humiliation of ruling as a Prussian vassal, he has been defeated, for Beyer remains at Carlsruhe, whilst his sovereign is en conge. The article in the North German Gazette is considered or great importance in Paris. The denunciation by Prussia of the policy of agitation which she was presumed to support, and her condemnation of the Roumanian Govern ment, which she was accused of furnishing with war material, are equally reassuring and unexpected. This article, says the Independance Beige, is the most pacific symptom the situation has produced. The tone of the French official press in dealing with Prussian matters has become much more conciliatory. THE DEFEAT OF THE PORTUGUESE IN MOZAMBIQUE. The Portuguese promise to outdo the Abyssinian expe-, dition. The disaster which has befallen their troops in Mozambique has caused great excitement throughout the country, and a project for sending a considerable force to avenge this defeat finds much favour. A great number, of volunteer s h ave o ff ered themselves. As to officers, Government will be troubled only by the embarrassment , of selection. The heroic ages must surely be come again, when an expedition is seriously planned to avenge a calamity which occurred many thousands of miles away, and which was the immediate consequence of the imPrT dente of those whom it befel. ITALY. The Garibaldians have not been utterly disorganised by the great repulse at Mentana. Trustworthy accounts from Italy leave no doubt that their societies still exist, and still maintain a certain organisation and possess a certain revenue. Their formation has been promoted, it is said, by Garibaldi himself and his lieutenants ; but their object is not to overthrow the monarchy. The acquisition of Rome is the great purpose they have in view. They have even voted an address to Prince Humbert, congra• tulating him on his marriage, and soliciting his patronage. TURKEY. The Russian Ambassador at Constantinople has been nullying the Porte. He has addressed to the Turkish Government an energetic protest on the subject of the arrest of the Russians who were implicated in the late "conspiracy." The rigorous execution of the capitulations is demanded for the future. Now the conspiracy was, Indeed, a myth ; but the Porte set the prisoners at liberty: as soon as that fact became known, and it is difficult to, see what more it could do. It is undoubtedly a misfortune ; for a Government to arrest foreign subjects on false infor‘ mation, but really Russia should not give the Turkish authorities so much ground for suspicion. If all the Russian agents were withdrawn from the Ottoman Empire, the number of mares' nests might become smaller. As to the capitulations, it is absurd to expect, them to be adhered to in the case of a conspiracy tgaiutt the thrOne, NEW NOVEL BY THE AUTHOR OF "JOHN HALIFAX." ]\{ILNERS' STRONG HOLDFAST AND Now ready, at all the Libraries, in 8 vols., FIRE RESISTING SAFES, Chests, Doors, and Strong Booms, with the progressive and recent improvements effected E IV OMAN'S .KINGDO M. after half a century's experience, effectually guard against Fire By the Author of " John Halifax, Gentleman," &c.l and Burglars.—Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, Leeds, Hull, " The Woman's Kingdom' sustains the author's reputation as and 47A, Moorgate-street, City, London. a writer of the purest and noblest kind of domestic stories."
