A most interesting affair took place at Sheffield on the occasion of the annual feast of the Cutlers' Company. It was held in the new hall, and MARK FIRTH, Master Cutler, presided. A brilliant and distinguished company assembled, and the chief at traction of the evening was Mr. .REVERDY JOHN SON, whose first public speech in England was a great success. " I came," said be at the commence ment of his remarks, "to your country, gentlemen, as the messenger of peace ; that messenger I mean to be—l could not be otherwise if I carried out the instructions of my Government." It is not suffi cient that countries like England and the United States should be merely on external good terms—a far closer alliance is needed if mutual benefits are to accrue; and hence the assurances of goolwiil con veyed by the American Minister are most welcome, and come very appropriately after the uneasy feel ings that have existed for some time past, and the apprehensions whie,:i well-informed persons en tertained on the score of the compensation question. Happily all misgivings may now be laid aside, and the prospect of a good understanding is undimmed by anxious shadows and dark forebodings. In most eloquent terms Mr. JOHNSON alluded to the many things that existed to unite us with the Americans, and these, in the language of one of our statesmen, are " ties stronger than links of iron." Those who have one design and speak one language should know better than to be led astray and listen to de signing parties, who seek to turn discord into open strife. Mr. JOHNSON declared that the kindly im pressions and good feelings entertained by the people of this country were more than reciprocated by the inhabitants of the United States. As for the diversity of opinion which prevailed here during the disastrous period of the civil war that was not to be wondered at, because the same differences were met with beyond the Atlantic, wherever people sought to solve the problem as to which was right in the sad affair. The struggle is now over, and happier and more fortunate than his prodecessor, the new American Minister has none of the painful part to perform which fell to the lot of Mr. ADAMS, and can consider the conse quences of the sharp struggle that convulsed America and disturbed the world without in quiring into the causes that led to it. Great as the troubles were of that stormy time and heart-rending as many of the circumstances that were attached to it, undoubtedly there is still one bright gleam dis cernible in the reminiscences of those days, and that is the extinction of "slavery." That institution was not indigenous to the soil in which it too long flourished ; and Mr. JOHNSON, in recurring to the case in all its bearings, declared that in future times it would be said that all the loss and suffering of the war were well spent in getting rid of that " blot," which tarnished the fair fame of the United States and gave the lie to the Declaration of Inde pendence, by which they claimed their right to freedom and liberty. It is liberty alone "that gives to life its lustre and perfume, and we are weeds without it." The contest about to take place across the Atlantic will decide as to the party which, through its represen tative, should be at the head of the Executive, but Mr. JOHNSON assured his hearers that he was con vinced, by his experience, that whichever triumphed would be the friend of England. The Americans look upon the political contest that now occupies us with thehope that the result may be to strengthen the Government which rules the country, and as the able exponent of their policy declared yester day the two Governments united in friendship may defy the world. The political institutions of the one are fashioned from the other, and in the heart of both nations there is a deep and never-dying " attachment to human liberty." Respecting the immediate surroundings of the place where he found himself, Mr. JorugsoN made some appropriate remarks, and assured the President that the cutlery, penknives, and steel of Sheffield are well known among his countrymen, and in the way of raz)rs it beats the world. At ono time the hon. gentle man had feared that he might not be present on the auspicious occasion, but the stern duties of his posi tion did not compel his absence, which was the more fortunate, as it enabled him to give an ear nest assurance of the goodwill entertained towards U 3 by the people he represents, and of finding how fully that sentiment was responded to by those among whom he had come to dwell. Mr. ROEBUCK made some characteristic remarks, and, in allusion to the House of Commons, he quoted an observation of GRATTAN'S that he was attending upon the hearse of the present House. In connection with this. the hon. member had the grace to remember what so many of our busy poli ticians forget, or pretend to forget at any rate, that this House of Commons, the days of whosa existence are numbered, has done for the country good service, and its claims must not be overlooked. The people of the country have been admitted to its administration and govern ment, and Mr. ROEBUCK feels great pride in having contributed his share to the work of pro gress. Regarding the distinguished guest of the evening, he expressed a hope that Mr. REVERDY JOHNSON would so conduct negotiations as to in sure the happiest results for both countries con cerned in them. In concluding his speech the hon. member made some forcible observations on the political changesthat had taken place, and very truly said that " it would not do for the educated classes to follow the example set in America and retire, but they should keep at their posts and be true to their mission. That mission was to exercise a just influence, and to mark well the difference that ex isted between the power of will and the power of mind over mind. By the exercise of this just power, and the influence of this superior wisdom, we may witness in this country what has never be fore been seen, a people governed by itself. America does not do it. There is a government of a people outside America, but here we shall have a people inside ourselves ; and of that people I ask, as I ask of you, not to be coerced by anybody, not to be misled and frightened by any Trade Unions, not to be anything but Englishmen considering simply the good of your country. I ask you, working men of this town, to have confidence in yourselves and in the dignity of your own nature, not to be coerced or frightened by anybody, but to do what you think right, as your country demands." This is spirited language, and it is also very good counsel. We hope that not only Sheffield, but every constituency in the kingdom, will act in accordance with the principle here laid down, and choose their representatives in the spirit of freedom, and not according to the letter as too often interpreted. Mr. E. J. REED, C. 8., responded to the toast of the Navy, and took the opportunity of defending himself from some of the charges brought against him in various quar ters. He had been, he said, for the last five years constantly " under fire." "It was not true," he emphatically declared, " as persistently represented, that he was an opponent of the turret system." He had designed several turret ships. At this time Captain COLE is building a large turret ship, as sisted by the skill of Messrs. LAIRD, the eminent shipbuiklers of Birkenhead. It may be mentioned that Mr. REED has not done himself justice hitherto in this respect, because an impression has generally prevailed as to his dislike of the turret system. At any rate his explanation of yesterday was satisfac tory, and it is to be hoped that he will still further prove his words by his actions, and he may depend upon it that the sooner those responsible for the Navy obtain a " thorough and efficient trial of the turret system" the better pleased the public will be. On the whole this feast was a great success, and the anniversary whosa proceedings we now com ment upon will long be remembered, in conse quence of the unusual features distinguishing it. A generation has pa)sed away since a Reform Bill was discussed as actually completed, and the topic is as interesting as it is important. Furl hermore, the presence of a new Minister from the United States was a source of satisfaction, and lie was enabled to express sentiments that called for a hearty response, and promised to prJmote the true interests of the mighty nations so closely associated by ties of an indissoluble nature. Peace abroad and social pro gress at home are among the choicest blessings t g at a country can enjoy, and if the care of the educated classes and the moderation of the working members of the community can accomplish a reform worthy of the name in our representation, it will be indeed a fortunate thing, and conduce to the prosperity of the community far more than the realisation of the Utopian dreams of certain philosophers and patirioth THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 4, 1868. can ever do. To substitute one monopoly for an other is a poor way of showing how we follow the spirit of the age and appreciate the importance of progress, and Mr. ROEBUCK very justly compre hended the position of affairs when he said that there was work for all to do, and none should retire into the background because they are disappointed, but contribute their share, and devote their talents to the public good and the general interests of their country. In anticipation of the great forthcoming struggle oa the hustings, our M.P.'s present and prospec tive are having a busy time of it. Every day meet ings are held and speeches made on one side or the other, and the public at large will run, we fear, some risk of getting weary of the chief topics of the day before the campaign has actually begun. Those earliest in the field have certainly the advantage of novelty, and can go over the ground with less apprehension of saying only what some one else has said before them. If Lord BURY has not altogether that advantage, he is at any rate one of the first to discuss the present position of public affairs in Berwick, and the body of electors, who on Tues day evening assembled in the Corn Exchange to hear the opinions of the Liberal candidates for their suffrages, was large and enthu siastic. Lord BURY was personally a stranger to most of his audience, but he could appeal with confidence to a warrant for his political consistency which none could dispute, the register of his votes in the House of Commons. Lord BURY is no stranger to St. Stephen's if he is not known in Berwick, and it is some ten or twelve years since he first took his seat in the House of Commons. He claims credit for having been a consistent and unflinching upholder of the Liberal cause. He has voted against church rates, he has fought under the banner of Mr. COBDEN for Free Trade throughout the world. He has always, he tells us, been in favour of a cheap press, and of the extension of education, and on all other points in which Re formers have been wont to move his votes have been recorded in a way of which, in addressing a Liberal audience, he is not ashamed. In this re spect, then, Lord BURY comes before the new elec tors with some prestige, and he appears, to judge from his address on Tuesday, to be determined to fight the battle vigor ously. His great enemy is, of course, Major CARPENTER, the Conservative candidate for the suffrages of the electors, and a good part of his speech was occupied in answering Major CAR PENTER'S statements on a previous occasion. There is not much need to examine into the charges and counter-charges brought by these honourable gentlemen against their opponent's parties. With IMajor CARPENTER naturally the Tories have done all that is worth doing of late years, and the Liberals have only been active as obstructors. With Lord BURY, on the other hand, it is equally a matter of course that we are indebted to the Liberals even for the good deeds which the Tories appear to have done, since, if the Liberals did not actually do them, they intended to do them, which comes to the same thing—on paper. As for the national expenditure, which is just no w affording an agreeable diversion from ecclesiastical perplexities, the real truth is that neither side has much reason to blame the other, and that the question of a million more in this year or a mil lion less in that affects very little the general jus tice of the question. Our expenditure is un doubtedly lavish, but the fault lies with all our public men. Neither party is really in earnest in trying to retrench, and perhaps it is as well that they are not, since as they invariably b3gin in the wrong place, cutting down the pay of our foot sol diers, or " spoiling a ship for a ha'porth of tar," instead of getting rid of official supernumeraries and amending the Pension List, the attempt at economy might cost the nation a little too dear. A great part of Lord BURY'S address was occu pied in discussing the rights and wrongs of the Irish Church, of which he is an uncompromising opponent. Of the Irish themselves he takes an un duly alarming view, quoting Mr. GLADSTONE'S as sertion that Ireland was only one degree removed from civil war. We have no right to suspect our fellow-subjects of such organised disaffection and disloyalty, And Mr. GLADSTONE'S declared belief, endorsed by Lord BURY, that if a foreign enemy landed on the Irish shores a great part of the people ' would join the invader is sufficiently contradicted by the attitude assumed by the great body of . the Irish population with respect to the Fenians. The two great causes of the collapse of the Fenian move ment in Ireland were the loyalty and stedfastness of the Irish constabulary and the indifference of the people. Of the electioneering movements at Plymouth it is difficult to form an opinion, since an attempt at a public meeting ended in riot and disorder, which, we must hope and believe, was equally unwe►co me to both parties. Mr. STUART LANE, the Con servative candidate, made a vain attempt to speak, and was especially anxious to make some personal explanations relative to his connection with the Credit Foncier of England ; but all was useless, and the chairman vacated the chair and the platform, followed by the chief parties present at the meeting, the rioters being left in full possession of the field. We hope that we are not to have many of these scenes among our electors, since they can hardly fail to defeat the purpose of either side, and must inevitably bring the new electors into discredit. Whatever opinion may have been formed of the public or private conduct of a candidate, it is neither fair nor reasonable to refuse to listen to his explanations or his statements. If such move ments are directed by party motives they indicate great weakness, since the cause must be feeble indeed that has to resort to such unworthy means. We hope the discreditable scene at Plymouth will not be repeated, but that our election contests may be henceforward conducted in a fair, temperate, and honourable spirit. The public will learn with satisfaction that the great undertaking of launching the Bermuda dry dock was yesterday safely accomplished, and the vast construction, weighing nearly 10,000 tons, now floats safely off Sheerness harbour. Any one who remembers the delay and diffi culty attending the launch of the Great Eastern some years back may well be surprised as well as gratified at the ease and rapidity with which all the obstacles attending the launch of the dock, weighing nearly as much as the Leviathan, have been overcome. Ou Wednesday, it is true, the great mass refused to move, but this, it appears, was attributable to her immense weight causing her to settle down on the launching ways, and thus the press are converted the grease which should have assisted her move ments into an adhesive glue. For tunately, Mr. CAMPBELL did not allow himself to me discouraged by the delay. He perceived that what wai want Al was a sudden shock which should give the Bermuda a start, when her own impetus might safely be trusted to keep her goimg. Accirdingly he strained every nerve, and :a thousand men were kept working through the night preparing the several appliances, screw , jacks, timber struts, and battering rams, which ,ihould produce the de sired effect. A little of ter two &flock yester. day, the tide being favourable, the word was given, and no sooner was the machinery set to work than the Bermuda began to move and glided slowly but surely down into the river. A large body of spectators, who had assembled to witness the proceedings, expressed their gratification at this triumph of mechanical science in enthusiastic cheers, and the launch of -the Bermuda being successfully accomplished, we may look forward with confidence to the construction of many more of these useful additions to our navy.

Senator Sherman, in a speech at Columbus, Ohio, declared his belief that the bonds are payable in legal tender. Advices from Cuba state that the Captain- General has ordered that no passenger should be allowed to land on the island without a passport certified by a Spanish consul. From Mexico it is stated that the forces of Juarez, under Alatorre, have been defeated by the insur gents in the State of Vera Cruz. A number of citizens of Charleston have peti tioned President Johnson to provide protection for the city against the threatened• lawlessness, as the civil authorities are unable to preserve order. It is reported that secret armed Democratic or ganisations are being formed in Missouri, Ken tucky, and Tennessee. President Johnson has ordered the forcible ex pulsion of hostile Indians from Kansas. The rinderpest is spreading throughout the coun try. Advices from Hayti state that Salnave is acting solely on the defensive. CANADA. The Nova Scotian delegates who have returned from London represent that the Home Govern ment regards its recognition of the Union Act as paramount to the colonial objection, but that that recognition was based on the apparent consent of the people of Nova Scotia, to whom, nevertheless, the right of appeal remains.

CORRESPONDENCE FROTA.,PARIS. (YROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS. THURSDAY, September 3. The Emperor returned to Paris yesterday to preside at the Council of Ministers, and has left to-day for the camp at Chalons. The fine weather, report says, will induce the Imperial family to hasten their departure for Biarritz, where they are expected to arrive on the oth or 10th. A short stay at Launemazan may probably form part of the visit to the Pyrenees. It is not precisely certain whether the Emperor will visit Havre, but he has graciously promised to do so "if possible," be it only for a single day. • The visit of the Count and Countess de Girgenti still remains unexplained, though an official paper has thought it necessary to give an explanation. It says that the visit has no political meaning whatever ; the Count de Girgenti vas received as a member of the Royal family of Spain arid not as a Neapolitan prince. As public opinion has generally taken this for granted, the enigma, if it be one, remains unsolved. The war rumours of the last few days have been follewea by an energetic peace demonstration on the part of the official press. This has not, however, succeeded in quiet ing the Opposition journals, who still contrive to find plenty of war material. The Temps, a paper which con tains some of the best writing of the Paris press, says that Marshal Niel has long ago pronounced in favour of a winter campaign, because in that case Russia would be unable to render Prussia any very'effective assistance. War in winter would, moreover,, be in favour of France, because the Prussian troops are less inured to the rigours of the cold season. En passant, I may remark, that it would be well for Marshal Niel to assure himself positively on this point. People also talk of the excitation of the French army against Prussia, and of its "patriotic ardour," which will not tolerate too much inaction. The mortality amongst the natives of Algeria is already becoming so serious this year as to cause considerable anxiety. Le Courrier de Tlemcen, announcing the death of an Arab through famine, says that the prospects of the winter season are of the most gloomy description. The misery which is to come will, in all probability, be greater than that which is past. This opinion is shared by General Lacretelle and others. It is observed that the number of deaths during the week ending August slst exceeded the total for the corresponding week of last year. The chances of the election of M. Dufaure for the Var have increased by the retirement of M. Phillis. M. Dufaure ist. now the only Opposition candidate. In the Moselle and the NiZ.Nre the authorities are confident of ~access. I am unable to find any justification for the repoltts of Ministerial modifications. A laughable scene oc,urrel yesterday molting fp an omnibus which plies to the Halles Centrales. A gentle- man got inside and sat down, depositing a tolerably well filled bag on the seat. A young lady—in appearance, at least—followed, and occupied the next seat. The omnibus went on, but had not proceeded far before the lady began to manifest signs of uneasiness, casting indignant glances at her neighbour, who, however, took no notice of her. At last she rose with the exclamation "Insolent I" accompanied by two furious slaps on each side of the gentleman's face. The latter, amid the general astonishment, asked what had led t'.) the unexpected reception of that favour. " Ircni have pinched me," replied the indignant lady. The gentleman looked about him, and presently produced a magniCcent lobster which had escaped from the bag! THE TVEAT_UER TABLE.-THIS DAY". --09.- FRANCE. BOURSE, Sept.

TilE STortm IN THE NORTH SEA.—The weather, which had been extremely stormy and boisterous for a week, arid which drove most of the screw steamers bound from Hamburg to the Tyne back to Cuxhaven, was on Wednesday moderato and fine, and these vessels have all arrived in safety in the north-east ports. The weather was fearfully stormy at the mouth of the Elbe in the later part of last week, and the steamers which reached the Tyne on Wednesday report that two sailing vessels were lost, with all hands, at tha mouth of the Elbe, during the recent bad weather. PROPOSED VISIT OF LORD NAPIER TO EDINBURGH. —At the ordinary meeting of the Edinburgh Town Coun cil, held on Tuesday, the Lord Provost read a letter from Lord Napier of Magdala, returning thanks for the resolu tion of the Council to confer upon him the freedom of the city, and stating that, as he proposed to visit the neigh bourhood of Edinburgh at the end of nowt month, he hoped then to arrange a time which would bo convenient for the Council to present him with the freedom of the city.

Fog prevailed last evening In the west of our islands : it continues at places in the S. and W. Garibaldi's resignation of his scat in the Florence Chamber of Deputies has excited but little attention in Italy. The cause is perfectly well known. The health of the General is not all that could be desired at the present time, and his disposition is averse to parliamentary dis cussion. The weariness of unlimited talk is not unknown in the British Legislature ; but in the Florence Chamber of Deputies it must be intolerable. The members are at present engaged in discussing Ministerial modifications, with which they occupy entire sittings without the least result or the least chance of result. If a measure is brought forward, the deputies who oppose it will endeavour to secure its defeat by staying away. As a clear majority of all the members, excluding only those on leave, is re quired to form a quorum in the Italian Parliament, this plan is frequently successful. It was often adopted with " satisfactory results " in the case of the bill for the sale of the tobacco monopoly. If this easy expedient does not answer, the snore difficult, but more infallible resource — talk—is tried. Mr. Vincent Scully would have been a treasure in the Italian Parliament, though he could hardly claim to rank as the most valuable jewel in that mine of long-winded eloquence. Garibaldi is said to have been utterly disgusted with this verbiage, frequently turning round, and asking his friends "What are those babblers about ?" The regulations respecting the ceremony of marriage in several of the South German States are remarkable rather for originality than sound jurisprudence. A law of Wiir temburg, for instance, provides that all the subjects of that State who are married in auy foreign country must obtain the consent of the King of Wiirtemburg, or the marriage is null and void. If they are married in their native country, the royal consent is not necessary. This distinction has given rise to much trouble, especially in America. The difficulty of obtaining the royal sanction across the Atlantic is so great that it is often dispensed with. Individuals of various nations who have married natives of Wiirtemburg have found, on going to reside in that country, that they were still in an undesirable state of single blessedness, and many children, who hoped for all the rights of legal paternity, have been declared illegiti mate. Mr. Bancroft, the United States Minister in Ger many, has applied for a repeal of this law, and has been promised its speedy disappearance from the Wiirtemburg code. A Swiss correspondent informs us that Sunday at Lucerne has been anything -but a day of rest for the Queen. In the neighbourhood of her residence there was an incessant playing of skittles, and as the Swiss skittles are almost as big as balloons, the perpetual thunder of these royal salutes was anything but pleasing to her Majesty's ears. Under these circumstances the Queen 'mule a request that the game might be dis continued on Sundays, and it is said that as much as £BO was offered in compensation to the innkeepers if they complied with the loyal request. They refused to do so, desiring to know who the Queen of England was that she should interfere. The luxury of defying a real Queen was too great to be resisted, and the price it cost these publicans undoubtedly added to its zest. Lord Lansdowne has written to his tenants in the village of Pewshani, stating that in the election of a member for Chippe7tharn lie wishes to exert no influence over them, and ti usl,s that in their choice they will be guided by their own judgment alone. But part of this , village is only held on lease by the Marquis, and next Michaelmas may pass into other hands. The agent for the reversioner is said to be can• vassing fur the Conservatives. On the same day that this letter reached the tenants from their present Liberal landlord the agent for their future landlord called to canvass, and pre. sented the option—" Vote fur us. How would you like to be turned out of yeur house ?" The state of mind in which these electors are thrown must be a very unenviable one, and a vote must be more trouble to them, in their edinaa• tion. than it is worth. b.PIREC OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS, The Times comments on Dr. Vaughan's sermon on tno disestablishment of the Church of England. Dr. Vaughn (it says) woUld be the last man to confound the Esta blishment with the Church, or the putting out of th; Divine Shechinah with the withdrawal of State protec tion. He declares an unwavering faith in 'the promises the very terms of which indicate that they are to be ful filled in a 'variety of forms, passing human anticipations. His fears and misgivings he freely and candidly con fesses to be a looking back to what appears now behind—the picturesque effects, the decorous Bolen): nities, the gentle calm, and the homely consolatiom of a State religion. He fears that the palace and the cottage may lose somewhat of their tone, now that no particular faith is to claim admission on the score of long pedigree or familiar custom. England no longem awed by authority or trained by sweet use, he fears that a cold scepticism and a Christless education may breed a race without faith, without knowledge, and without hope. Whatever the Church of England owes to hex present advantageous position—and she cannot but owe much—rmst gq with the wreck when the institutions have foundered in the approaching storm. This par ticular loss Dr. Vaughan tries to measure and estimate, and for this bestows the tribute of a fond regret. The Church of England will clear itself from that wreck, and pursue its course as a branch of the catholic Church. The Times expects more than this. The Church of England is not national because it is established, but esta blished because it is national ; and we venture to predict that should it be disestablished by the most violent measures a doubly or trebly reformed Parliament is capable of—ay, if the House of Lords he reformed also—she will still continue the Church of England, not Dci gratici, but hominum voluntate. If changes bring her loss, they will also bring gain. The benefit of a splendid and high titled Fstablishment is very much confined to places, to classes, to cliques, and to families, to the owners of patronage and the possessors of influence. Of course they will lose something—that is, all they cannot commute into solid cash. But the many will not lose so much as either the friends or the foes of the Church of England seem to anticipate. Tile Telegraph observes that for once the Church is in danger. Nor is it officious meddling that is wanted to avert that danger. It is a competent clergy. The Church wants a set of men who can really teach. It calls for thinkers and scholars. It demands men who are afraid neither to reason nor to speak. It requires the Sunday morning's discourse to be converted from what Mr. Car lyle calls an exhibition of " dead, damnable, putrescent cant," into an outpouring of living Christianity. But how can all this be got ? There is only one way of getting it, and that is to enlist in the service of the Church the very ablest intellects that can be obtained. At present it would be rash to say that the rank-and-file of the clergy are on a level with the average intellect sent forth by the universities ; and until the Church can draw into its service as able and earnest men as the bar, literature, or Science, it cannot withstand the thousand shocks to which it is inevitably exposed in the very progress of human intellect and knowledge. The Post declares that Mr. Lowe struck the key -note of the great education fantasia now being played throughout the country when he declared that, having taken new masters, we must, for our own sakes, teach them their BC. But this apprehension alone will not suffice to tarry the matter through, and, as soon as it is practically liscovered that the working man is not such a frightful crea ;ure as he looks, the educational enthusiasm will probably 11.il pretty well to its former level. It behoves those, therefore, who have other and higher motives for support :ng it, to press on the movement now that the time is )IVortune ; to press it with one will and one effort in the )ne right direction, and to be satisfied with nothing less ;han a system of universal primary education, supple nented by large and easily-available opportunities for secondary education. Whether it should be purely secular )r partially sectarian, whether it should be supported from .ocal or from national funds, and whether to be managed )y local or by central authority—all these are questions of letail which will not present any difficulties when once the prime necessity is admitted and understood ; but to ?ressing this all true friends of education should work, and ►void as far as possible any diversion from it to partial schemes which may be presented to them as a sufficient answer to all their demands. The Standard, reviewing the late proceedings at Frome, says that, metaphorically speaking, Mr. Hughes may be aid to be still in round jackets. At school he was set ;ome exercises in Liberal ideas, and he has been pervading the world ever since with what he calls his Democracy. Fhis democracy England is supposed to have reached by the last Reform Act ; and the whole tenor of Mr. Hughes's ife, illustrated by quotations from the " Biglow Papers," s to try and persuade the Democrats to be good like limself. To this desperate task Mr. Hughes brings the freshness of perpetual boyhood—the charm of an art .ess innocence. Going back to the great political iuestions which had been before the country since he vas a boy, Mr. Hughes, as he naively informs us, was lever aware of a time in which what he calls "the masses," were not always in the right. First, he remem ers that the masses were in favour of the Reform Bill of 1832. Next there was the great question of slavery. On which ;Me, asks Mr. Hughes, were the people then ? Why, of lourse, against the Tories, and in favour of Wilberforce Ind the poor negroes. Mr. Hughes's English remi niscences are slightly confused here, seeing that Wilber force was a Tory ; that long before the period he is speak ing of (which he must be a very old boy indeed to remem jer) Pitt, a Tory, was the first to introduce a measure 'or the emancipation of the blacks ; that at no time luring that contest were the Tories, as a party, opposed L,o emancipation, and that finally it was the present Lord Derby who introduced and carried the bill for the abolition A slavery. The Times remarks that on one point connected with the treat railway accident sufficient evidence has not yet been liven. If goods trains and passenger trains are to be kept running on the same line of rails, goods trains must be got mit of the way somewhere or other, and reasonable time must be allowed for the purpose. It is only necessary luring this time other trains must be warned or stopped, and that warning, it appears, was actually given at Llanddulas. No sooner had the ponderous goods train got up than the required signal was displayed. What should have been the effect of the signals? From what points were they discernible? Could they or should they have informed the people at Abergele, or the driver :f the mail train, or anybody else, that the line was blocked, and that nothing could come on to Llanddulas till it was clear? If such was the case, there may be some excuse for all the complicated work undertaken at Lland dulas with the limited mail just behind. Short of this, however, it results irresistibly from the evidence that the calamity originated in the circumstances attending the redistribution of the goods train at its shunting station. The Daily News—by no means a lukewarm supporter of the Liberal cause in Italy—condemns very strongly some recent actions of the Italian Government. Some time since all the monastic establishments of the country were broken up, and it was made penal to assemble together under vows. Up to this time the education of the young had been con iucted by monks and nuns. The dispersion of these pre vented for some time education being carried on. But means were soon found to give education to the boys. Girls, however, were still without teachers. Thereupon, those who had evidently been of late nuns took these girls in hand, giving them precisely the same education as would have been given in the monastery. The Government has now ordered none to teach but those who have certificates, and has made provision to prevent any but really lay teachers from obtaining these certificates, making more sharp than ever the law against the assem bling under vows. Surely, exclaims the Daily News, per secution could hardly assume a meaner shape. To own yourself unable to cope with women except by gagging them, to illustrate your zeal for freedom of thought by strictly forbidding the propagation of any opinions that are not in accordance with your own, to inculcate regard for the rights of conscience by interfering with people who are simply trying to do what they think their duty—this is the policy which the Liberal party in Italy appears to think honourable and consistent. They may be quite sure that their conduct will give genuine satisfaction to no one except the Ultramontane party throughout Europe. "If they would only persecute us !" Cardinal Antonelli is reported to have said of the Italian Government. It was a cunning if not a Christian aspira tion ; but what shall we say of the wisdom of a lay State which gives an ecclesiastical foe the precise vantage ground it most wished for? The third congress of the Internatiaual Association of Workmen opens next Sunday at Brussels. The subjects of discussion aro eight. Strikes and councils of arbitration are among them. The English and American workmen introduce the subject of shortening tlea hours of labour; the Germane ask what ought to ha the attitude of workmen in case of a conflict between tho two great European powers ; the Belgians offer "a resume of the special grievances of the workmen of each profession."

IRELAND, P;7r,f.fx, Sept. 3. A man named Philip Dwyer has been arrested on suspicion of having formed one of the party by which Mr. W. Scully was attacked in the recent fatal affray at Ballycohey. Dwyer was arrested on Mon day at his residence near Tipperary, and was con veyed by the police to the Bridewell of that town• It appears that he has been absent from home since the day of the outrage, and that on venturing to make his reappearance in public for the first time, on Monday, be was immediately arrested. lle was taken on Tuesday to Mr. Scully's residence for the purpose of being identified by that gentleman, who, says the Tipperary Free Press, had sworn not only that the prisoner was one of the attacking party, but that he had actually seen him fire upon him. The result of the interview has not trans pired, but Dwyer was again lodged in gaol. lie i 6 a nephew of the old man at whose house the attack was made. He has a slight wound on his forehead, and it is understood that this will be examined by medical man with the view of deciding whether or not it is a gunshot wound. It is stated that the Hon. D'avid Plunket will contest the representation of the city of Dublin, in conjunction with Sir A. Guinness, in the Conserva tive interest, it being understood that Mr. Edward 11. Kinahan has definitively withdrawn. It is also stated that a colleague has been found for Afr. Pim, the present Liberal member and candidate, the aspirant to Patliamentary honours being Mr. Richard Martin. At Belfast the Conservative leaders have selected a colleague for Sir C. Lanyon in the person of Mr. John Mulholland, of Spring vale, a gentleman who would make an able and efficient representative. There was some diversity of opinion at the meeting at which it was resolved to adopt Mr. Mullholland as one of the Conserva tive candidates, but the majority in his favour WO nearly ten to one as against all the other gentlemen whose names were mentioned. Among these wer e Mr. Lewis, solicitor, London, and Mr. Stewart Blacker, famed for displays of genuine Orange ora tory at Orange gatherings. Mr. Mulholland acceded to the request of the meeting. One of the Limerick papers says that it is rumoured that the City of Limerick will not be contested. Lord Cre morne has commenced his canvass of the county of Monaghan, having on Tuesday visited Carrickma cross. He was accompanied in his canvass by the Roman Catholic clergyman of 'tit) town, the ray' J. J. Hughes. Mr. Cecil Moore, the solicitor of Mr. Shirley, the opponent of Lord Cremorne, writes to the Daily Express, in reply to a letter of Mr. it• C. Leslie French, in which the latter denied that the wishes of a deputation which recently waited 09 Mr. Shirley were, in effect, that he (Mr. Shirley) should retire from the contest. Mr. Moore sar i that Mr. French admits that " the mission of th e deputationwas for the purpose of presenting the re solutions of the meeting of the 18th, wherein it wa s represented to Mr. Shirley the grave responsibility h , e, would incur by provoking a contest in the county. • Mr. Moore pertinently asks by what means Al f * Shirley could avoid this contest, except, by retiring/ and why the deputation did not wait on Lord Cre; morne and Mr. Leslie, the present members, ari; ask them to consider " the grave res p ons ibility 0 • 1 provoking a contest."
