Whether or not NAPOLEON 111. received the ex- Queen of SPAIN, ISABELLA 11., the other day at St. Cloud, upon a visit so strictly incognito that the only recognition of her Majesty's royalty was the silent presentation of arms by the sentry on guard—it is rather curious to remember, in regard to the Empe ror of the FRENCH, that he has had personal inter course with, that he has received indications of personal amity, friendship, and affectionate inti macy from, one after another, the whole of the Sovereigns of Christendom. When, almost upon the morrow of the restoration of the French Empire, NAPOLEON 111. announced his intended marriage with EUGENIE, Countess de TEBA, the EMPEROR, it may be remembered, spoke of himself, rather inappro priately, almost absurdly, as a parvenu. NAPOLEON the Great might so have spoken of himself with a little more reason—he, the founder or creator of a new dynasty. Not so the heir to his imperial for tunes, who may be said, quite literally, that is in the ordinary acceptation of the phrase, to have been born in the purple. The very place of his birth, even, was the Palace of the Tuileries. There he was born when the Great NAPOLEON'S power was in its very zenith. And as it happened, he who was destined by PROVI DENCE to be the restorer of the Second Empire, was the first Prince born under the dispensation of the First Empire. lie was the first infant of the Impe rial family born after the transformation of the Consular fasces of the Republic into the sceptre of the modern CHARLEMAGNE. Prince CHARLES LOUIS NAPOLEON was, in point of fact, the first of that race whose birth was announced with military honours, with the roll of drums, and the presentation of arms, and the firing of cannon—beginning at the Palace of the Tuileries, and dying away (as the news spread) to the furthest confines of the enormous empire then owning allegiance to NAPOLEON, an empire ex tending in the north-west to the shores of the Baltic and in the south-east to the coast of Illyria. This was on the 20th of April, 1808. Remembering those antecedents of the present Emperor of the FRENCH, it was almost by an affectation that he spoke of him self as a parvenu immediately before his marriage to EUGENIE on the 29th of January, 1853, in the Cathe dral of Notre Dame. Upon his removal from the Palace of the Ely; des to that of the Tuileries, not long previously, he was simply returning home ! And there, at the Tuileries, or at one or other of his numerous other palaces, chiefly at St. Cloud, at Compiegne, or at Fontainebleau, this soi-disant parvenu sovereign has, during the last few years, received as his guests nearly every reigning sovereign in Christendom. It may be interesting, as a mere matter of histori cal retrospect, to enumerate here the chief of the visits paid thus to NAPOLEON 111. by the Sovereigns of Europe—more particularly bearing in remem brance the coldness with which the restoration of the Empire under his rule was (more or less reluctantly) recognised in so many of the continental capitals. The Queen of ENGLAND, it is worthy of remark, was the very first of the European Sovereigns to adventure upon an interchange of hospitalities with NAPOLEON 111. Between the 7th and the 22d of April, 1855, the French EMPEROR and EMPRESS were the guests of her MAJESTY here in England. And in that same year, only four months later, i.e. between the 18th and 27th of August, the Queen of ENGLAND was the guest (in company with the Prince CONSORT) of the Emperor NAPOLEON M. Two years afterwards, viz., between the Gth and 10th of August, 1857, the French Sovereigns were again the guests of Queen VICTORIA—the latter twelve months after that, namely, on the 4th and sth of August, 1858, being received by the EMPEROR at Cherbourg. The Emperor of RUSSIA, besides meeting NAPO LEON 111. at Stutgardt as far back as 1857, on the 25th of September, and besides being the guest of the Frdnch EMPEROR at Nice on the 27th and 28th of October, 1864, was, still more recently, the guest of NAPOLEON at Paris—upon the memorable occasion, in point of fact, when, while riding in the same carriage, they passed together through immi nent peril of assassination. The King of PRUSSIA was not only the guest of NAPOLEON 111. at Compiegne in 1861, but after wards, only a year ago in Paris, at the last Great International Exhibition. The Emperor of AUSTRIA and the Emperor NAP 0- L EON 111., it is still within the remembrance of all, enjoyed the pleasure of intimate communication with one another, when the latter was the guest of FRANCIS JOSEPH in the Kaiser's own dominions on the 18th of August, 1867, at Saltzburg. The King of SWEDEN, more than seven years ago, visited NAPOLEON 111. on the Gth of August, 1851. The King of HOLLAND was welcomed as a guest by the French EmPeßok during that same year, 1861, on the 12th of October. The King of ITALY—King of SARDINIA as he was then—not only partook of the hospitalities of NAPOLEON 111. immediately after the Crimean war, but may be said to have virtually received his title as King of ITALY from the Emperor of the FRENCH, after the entrance of NAPOLEON 111. and VICTOR EMMANUEL, side by side, in triumph into Milan on the Bth of June, 1859, immediately prior to the EMPEROR banding over to the KING (rather a splendid present by the way) the whole of conquered Lom bardy. The King of SPAIN—as he was then, not as now the ex-King —was the guest of NAPOLEON 111. at St. Cloud in 1864, on the 16th of August—the EMPEROR meeting the Queen of SPAIN on the 9th of Septem ber, 1865, at St. Sebastian. Since when—in fact within the last few weeks—NAPOLEON, besides re ceiving ISABELLA 11. at the railway station at Biarritz, set apart his palace at Pau as a home dur- ing her pleasure for the last of the BOURBONS imme- diately after her ignominious discrowning and de- thronement by the Spanish Revolution. The SULTAN CALIPH only this last year was the guest of the Emperor NAPoLgoN 111. at the Tuileries on the unprecedent occasion of the Grand Turk's visit ing Western Europe, and, as it happened, ABDUL- Aztz was seated beside the French EMPEROR upon the very day when the latter visited in state in the Champ de Mars the magnificent temporary palace of the great International Exhibition. The German Sovereigns, it is also worthy of re membrance, met NAPOLEON M. between the 15th and 17th of June, 1860, at. Baden-Baden—none of them dreaming then, we may be sure, of that blinding, blighting fusillade at Sadowa! From the Prince of WALES, NAPOLEON III• re ceived a visit on the 12th of June, 1862, at Fon . _ _ tainbleau. And, since then, his MAJESTY has had visits of courtesy or of ceremony from the Crown Prince of Prussia, from the Viceroy of EGYPT, and others. During the year of the Paris Exhibition, nearly all the Sovereigns of Europe were at one time or another the guests of the EMPEROR either at St. Cloud or at the Tuilei ies. If, as the one solitary exception, the Sovereign PONTIFF has been debarred, by his very position as Sovereign PONTIFF, from any participation in these interchanges of hcspitality between NAPOLEON 111. and the crowned heads of Europe, his Holiness Plus IX. has given a far more signal attestation of his personal cordiality towards the French Emperor, (and as such the Eldest Son of the Church) by becom- ng godfather to the Prince Imperial, the future NAPOLEON IV. The parvenu (as he calls himself)---besides winning all these evidences of personal recognition from one after another of the Sovereigns who are his contem- poraries —has received from them also, one after THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 28, 186 P. another, visible attestations of that fact, namely, of that personal recognition, in the Order of the Garter, in the Order of the Golden Fleece, in the Order of the Medjedie, in fact, in the shape of all the great orders of knighthood throughout Europe. If ever a parvenu Prince has been recognised by " the powers that be" since the great founder of his dynasty, it has certainly been NAPOLEON 111. OF Mr. BRIGHT'S first election address there is very little to be said. In great measure, indeed, it is a disappointment. It is wholly retrospective; and though the past must have many attractions for Mr. BRIGHT though the political history of the last few years has seen the disappearance of many a prejudice and abuse of which he was the foremost opponent, and the success of many reforms of which he was the most earnest advocate— yet the present is not precisely the moment for counting the gains of political strife. A time of pre sent difficulty is not exactly a time for congratula tion on past triumphs. The nation at large, and, if we mistake not, the forty thousand electors of Bir mingham, would have much preferred an exposition of Mr. BRIGHT'S intentions to a recital of his achieve ments. Mr. 13Ricarr's opinions now rank second in importance to those of no English statesman of the day, not even the two party leaders. Ilis position, through several causes, has undergone a decisive change. Whatever may have been his precise rank a few years ago, he is now one of the foremost representatives of the nation. The tide of public opinion has risen with unexampled rapidity, and has come up nearly, if not quite, to his level. He, too, has changed ; his views have become sensibly modified, and his manner of stating them still more so. The sense of approach ing responsibility has, doubtless, had its effect. Mr. BRIGHT must form part of the next Liberal Government, and, next to Mr. GLADSTONE, he is the Liberal leader of whom the greatest hopes can be entertained. Last, but not least, he is the recognised chief of the great class which, for good or for evil, has finally acquired preponderance in the British Empire. What will he do with it ? What will be made of this power by a man who, though now a fair representative of the national opinion, still differs from and is in advance of it in many important respects? A" platform" from the m ember for Birmingham would be of the highest importance and interest at present, but, unfortunately, we have to wait for it. We know that he holds special views on the education and land tenure questions. How will he apply those opinions now that these questions have assumed such prominence ? The retrospect he has given us is not devoid of interest and instruction, and, moreover, the credit which Mr. BRIGHT takes to himself is very largely merited, though he must guard against one error to which he seems liable—that of supposing public opinion only has changed whilst his has remained stationary. It is not, however, a retro spect which is most needed just now. DURING the next session, in all probability, trades unions will attain a recognised position under the law. The question has been carefully examined of late, and has made great progress. Both the unionists and their opponents have conceded a good deal, and the issue has been so much narrowed that a ready solution may be expected. The bitterest oppo nent of the rights of labour is obliged to admit that the law of contract ought to apply to a trades union as well as to the case of any other society. On the other hand, the unionists now declare that they will be satisfied with the provisions of the common law. It is, therefore, not difficult to anticipate the chief provi sions of the enactment which will in future determine the legal status of trade societies. Any workman who of his own free will joins a society of the kind must be bound by that as much as by any other contract. If he promise a certain periodical payment, the union must have power to compel it so long as he remains a member of the union. But the power of withdrawal on reasonable notice must always remain. No workman who is not a unionist shall be exposed to threats or coercion, and no workman who joins a union shall be obliged to continue his mem bership against his will. But the weekly payment and all the rules of the society ought to be legally binding on its members. This solution of the difficulty is so simple and natural, that but for the obstacles we have mentioned it must have been arrived at long ago. Not only, however, have artisans demanded more than was just, but self-interest and prejudice have operated equally on the other side. k trades union was deemed nothing less than a machine for systematised conspiracy, just in the same way as it was formerly held to be actually cri minal for a workman to demand higher wages or leave his work. These prejudices are rapidly giving way. There can be no doubt that funds of trades unions are often applied to injurious, and sometimes to unjust purposes. But this evil cannot be avoided by outlawry. Rather is it likely to be diminished by giving these societies a recognised position before the law, and by bringing their operations to the light of publicity. By refusing them a legal status they are in a measure driven to the expedients from which British industry and the British name have suffered so much. WHILST in England the prospect of a system of international currency seems very remote, the French decimal coinage is rapidly coming into use all over Europe. The royal commission which was appointed to examine this question has naturally hesitated to adopt a change which would diminish the value of the pound. But there can be no doubt that the choice lies only between the French decimal system and none at all. There is not the least hope that the pound will be accepted by other nations as a uniform coin. The truth is, the adoption of the English coinage as the uniform system is neither desirable nor possible. It is not desirable, because it would not be a step in the pro gressive direction; it would losefarmore than it would gain. The French coinage, which is spreading so rapidly over Europe, is founded on the decimal principle; ours is not. The figure ten alone connects one French coin with another, and all calculations can be made by means of that one number ; but the English money requires the irregular figures four, twelve, and twenty. To reduce shillings to farthings we must multiply by forty-eight ; to reduce francs to centimes the French multiply by one hundred ; that is, simply add two cyphers. The advantages of the decimal system in accounts and all money transactions are very great. Indeed, it has been proposed to adopt a decimal coinage in England, and incur all the trouble of a complete change, for the sake merely of gaining this facility of transacting business at home, and with out immediate reference to a uniform system throughout the world. This project was very strongly supported, and at one time promised to be successful. The superiority 113 so great that it is simply absurd to expect that any nation will give up a decimal system in order to substitute our clumsy and illogical coinage. Our money is in a position similar to that occupied by the Irish Church : whatever objections there may be to abolishing it now, the most prejudiced would never dream of establishing it as desirable in itself. The royal commissioners are of opinion that no efficient international coinage is possible without the complete assimilation of the coins of different nations. If, therefore, the pound is to prevail, the States of Europe will have to give up their simple and logical decimal coinage for the complex calculations of the English system. Thus, whatever would be gained by uniformity would be lost by the increased difficulty of calculation. To secure uniformity on the basis of the pound, it would be necessary for Europe to exchange a good coinage for a very bad one. In one sense it is a misfortune that the pound has extended so far; only prejudice and self-interest could wish it to spread further. Of course it would be quite possible to establish a decimal system on the basis of the pound itself ; but as great changes on both sides would be required to make this a uniform coinage, the project does not deserve the slightest considera tion. Further, as we have previously shewn, the contest between the English and French systems is already decided. The decimal currency is rapidly coming into use all over Europe. In 1865 it was made uniform throughout France, Belgium, Italy, and Switzerland ; Greece and the Papal States followed ; Austria has promised her adherence, and Sweden and the United States are considering the matter. During the last few days North Germany and Spain have pronounced in favour of this decimal system. In face of such unanimity it is clearly hopeless to put forward the claims of the pound. The change would be attended by immense benefits, but we cannot hope to have the advantage without its drawbacks. We must adopt the French system, or, if the injury wrought by the transition would be too great, remain as we are. LATEST INTELL MENU. (REUTER's TELEGRAMS.) SPAIN. MADRID, Oct. 27. The Tertulia Club of the Progressist party has been amalgammated with the Liberal Union, thus forming one club. This fusion has been celebrated by a banquet, at which Senor Olozaga and the Marquis de Vega Armigo presided. The former delivered a speech, strongly exhorting the Liberals of all shades to unite, and pointed out the necessity of this step, in order to be prepared to oppose the united reactionists. lle also mentioned that the ex-Queen Isabella is intending to abdicate in favour of Don Carlos. The subject of the forthcoming elections for the constituent Cortes, which will commence on the 29th November, is being discussed by the Council of Ministers. The Papal Nuncio has had an interview with Senor Lorenzana, when he gave satisfactory ex planations to the Minister, from which it may easily be foreseen that the recognition of the Re volutionary Government by the Roman Court will shortly take place. It is asserted that the Government intends to raise a national loan by public subscription. It is reported that the Belgian Government will shortly recognise the Provisional Government. Tranquillity prevails everywhere. AUSTRALIA. MELBOURNE, Sept. 13 (via Brindisi). In the Victoria Legislative Assembly the loan bill for the completion of the docks and water works and the construction of the new railway in the north-east, has passed the second reading. The Appropriation Bill has passed the first reading. The Assembly is expected to be prorogued within a fortnight. The Stent has sailed for England with 68,000 ounces of gold, and the screw steamer Bombay takes 30,000 ounces to Suez. The Protective tariff has passed the Tasmanian Parliament. SOUTH AUSTRALIA.

The much-talked-of chart which is to represent France at three periods of her history during the present century, and which is to prove that the nation is as well off now as at any time during the last seventy years is to appear this evening. The excitement caused by this novel production is very considerable, and the Military Library in the Passage. Dauphine is besieged by a crowd of expectant purchasers. Ten thousand copies have already been spoken for. The public cannot expect much from a chart sheaving the different boundaries of France during the present century ; but the expedient of a Government appealing to its people in this way is undoubtedly new. We may look for an Imperial Catechism next. It is said that there has been a contest in the Imperial Cabinet over the forthcoming Budget. M. Mag-ne,.remem bering the reception he met with in the Corps Ldgislatif during the recent discussion, is naturally anxious to gain some idea of what proportion the expenses of the Empire will assume next year. The War Budget is, of course, the difficulty. A controversy, it is said, ensued between M. Rouher and Marshal Niel. The former is much im pressed by the unanimity of feeling in the country, and desires to give way to it a little. Marshal Niel thinks only of the efficiency of the navy, and looks only in one direction—across the Rhine. Hence the contest in which the War Minister came off victorious. The Emperor does not desire war, but he will not again be caught unprepared as he was in 1866, should the necessity or the expediency of fighting again present itself. An article recently published in the Revue de Deux lifondes, on the preliminaries of Sadowa, contains some facts of importance. The principal of these is the proof from official documents that the cession of Venetia to France by Austria did not date from the sth July, but really from the 9th June, and must, therefore, have taken place, according to M. Klaczko's article, before the first battle of the war. Some of the deputies of the Italian Chamber are going to question their Government on this subject during the next session. They think that Venetia might have been obtained without the loss of an Italian soldier; a fortiori without Custozza or Lissa. The Pressc says that Baron Magnus is to succeed Count von Goltz. This diplomatist is neither better nor worse, but his affliction renders it impossible for him to attend to State affairs. Iu the meantime, all the statesmen that Prussia can produce are one by one being promoted to this important embassy in the imagination of this fruitful people. It is feared that the life of the Duke of Brabant cannot be prolonged beyond, at most, a few days. The dropsy, which had been momentarily checked, became uncontrol lable, and mounted towards the heart. A consultation by the doctors, in all seven in number, resulted in the determination that the last resource, a second puncture, should be attempted. The Pays has published another of those wretcnea revolutionary manifestoes which purport to come from the " Revolutionary Committee of Action." Here is a speci men of its style :—" The Man of December, disturbed in his long impunity, cries and prays; he wants to offer up his life as a sacrifice for his own race—quite a pelican ! The more he dies the more they will live and cling to the soil like noxious weeds—a race of tares !" How a paper which would perish to-morrow if it were not for Government aid is allowed to publish such rubbish, is utterly inexplicable.

One cannot but be filled by a ligitimate pride when one sees how many good citizens sacri fice a portion of their independence for the honour of training the young battalion of the Guarde, and for the still greater honour of being ready to lead them to the frontier should war break out. The noble sentiments of duty and devotion to the interests of the country have not degenerated in France, they exist strongly and energetically throughout all classes of society." The Moniteur of to-day, in its bulletin, says : " The Ministry of Prussia and Italy have resumed their relations with the Spanish Government, as also the Papal Nuncio, who has had an interview with the Minister of Foreign Affairs."

We aro accustomed to expect from the author of 'John Halifax' tenderness, pathos, and much grace of style. All these qualities, to gether with clever characterisation, are found in het latest work. The Woman's Kingdom' is written with delight ful freshness, simplicity, and earnestness. It is worthy to be read if only for the sake of the delightful domestic pic tures it presents, and from the manner in which it presses upon us the humanizing and sanctifying influences of home. —Sunday Times.

The Maori prisoners who seized their guard anct forced the crew of a Government ship to navigate them back to Poverty Bay behaved with surprising moderation. Only one man, Michael llartnoll, who resisted, was killed. Feel ing the utter uselessness of resistance, the European residents at the Chatham Islands quietly submitted to their houses being ransacked for money, arms, and ammunition. They lost nearly all the hard cash they possessed. Mr. Cooper, the officer sent down to investigate the matter, remarks : " Upon looking back at this extraordinary episode, it is difficult to say whether one's wonder is excited more by the precision, rapidity, and completeness with which the enterprise was planned and executed, or by the moderation shown in the hour :of victory by a gang of barbarous fanatics, who in a moment found their former masters bound at their feet and their lives entirely at their mercy." The Times correspondent says it would have been wen, as things have turned out, if the convicts had been allowed quietly to disperse on landing. Their conduct shews that at that date they had no feeling of revenge towards us. They had been treated humanely and liberally during their exile, and we should possibly have heard no more of them than we have done of those who escaped years ago from Kawan, or from the hulk in Wellington. Forces of armed constabulary, volunteers, and specially-raised companies have, however, hung on their track, and engaged them in two or three skirmishes, with the some what indefinite hope cf retaking them. The pursuit of these convicts from first to last has been attended with disaster, and has reflected no lustre on the colonial forces engaged. Colonel IVl'Donnell, on the west coast, was more successful. lle destroyed numerous small villages of refuge, and defeated the natives in several encounters. Large parties of friendly natives have joined his camp. DEFEAT OF THE BRITISH. An attack on the natives of the west coast, on the 7th of September, resulted most disastrously. The following account is given by the Times correspomlent :—" How the affair came about we know not, except that our forces appear to have been in search of the rebels in the neighbour hood of the lately-destroyed pah of Ngutu-o-to-Manu. The natives were quite prepared this time to receive us, and not only lined their rifle-pits, but had perched them selves on the tops of trees, whence they could take deadly aim. The fire was returned, and although our officers fell one after another, yet a good and orderly retreat was effected. Among the 14 killed were the gallant Major von Tempsky, Captains Buck and Palmer, and Lieutenants Hastings and Hunter. The number of wounded is not stated, but Lieutenant Rowan is reported to be so danger ously. Twenty-seven of the rebels were killed ; wounded unknown. Preparations are being made for another attack on them, and unless this disaster is speedily wiped out by a signal success, it will be difficult to foresee the termina nation of a struggle in which a mere handful of rebels are acquiring so much prestige in the eyes of surrounding tribes. The following is from an "Independent Extra," dated Wednesday, September 9 : "Disastrous news from the front. Another attack upon Te Ngutu-o-te-Illanu. Five officers and fourteen men killed. Twenty-four 'wounded. Twenty-seven Hauhaus killed. Number of their wounded not known. " "Wanganui Times Office, Sept. 8, 10 p.m. "The colony will grieve to hear that Von Tempsky is dead, but he nobly fell in battle. The brave Captain Buck, and his equally brave fellow•otficers, Captain Palmer, Lieutenant Hastings, and Lieutenant Hunter, are also among the killed. " Lieutenant Rowan has been dangerously woundea. The names of the fourteen men killed are not recorded in the brief intelligence to hand. "Yesterday (Monday) our force left Waibi. at 4 a.m., and at 2 p.m. encountered the enemy again at Te Ngutu-o-te-Manu, but this time they were thoroughly prepared to give us a warm reception. Not only were the rifle-pits but also the tops of the trees manned, and deadly volleys poured in upon our men, who bravely pushed for ward, cheered on by their officers, and returned the fire with murderous effect. Twenty-seven Maories bit the ground ; how many of them wounded can't say. Retired in good order, and are preparing for another attack. Most of our officers and men were killed by Hauhaus perched on 'he tons of trees THE WEATHER TABLE.-THIS DAY. METEOROLOGICAL REPORTS. Extreme Wednesday, October 28, 8 a.m. CITUBri TT (CONFERENCE /AT X 4.IITBRIDaE, 3. - ne 'Mira off' the series of conferences now in progress in the diocese of Ely, in compliance with the requisition of the Lord Bishop, was held at Cambridge on Tuesday. The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop presided, supported by the Right Hon. the lord-lieutenant, the Earl of Ilardwicke, the Vice- Chancellor of the University of Cambridge (the Rev. the Master of Trinity), Mr. A. J. Beresford-Hope; M.P. for the university, the Very Rev, the Dean of Ely, the Ven. the Archdeacon of Ely, &c. There were present also the Rev. the Masters of St. Peter's, St. John's, Sidney, and Christ's Colleges, and the Rev. the President of Queen's ; Professors Jeremie, Selwyn, Challis, Humphrey, Bond, Liveing, Kennedy, and Swainson ; Dr. Paget, Colonel Wales, &c. The Right Rev, the Bishop of Ely opened the proceedings in a long address. He dwelt at length on the importance of the lay element. Many of the laymen, he said, were as much educated as the clergy, and some of the best of them perhaps more so ; and there were much stronger reasons why these should now take part in the proceedings of the Church than in the middle ages. The subject for discussion was " The maintenance of the National Church, and the best means of increasing her efficiency without interfering with her national and established character ; on the means of obtaining greater unity amongst ourselves and on the comprehension of Dissen ters." This subject was introduced in a paper by the Very Rev. the Dean of Ely, and a discussion ensued, in which a clergyman and a layman alternated. The dean condemned the sale of patronage as a crying evil. He thought that there should be some power of veto on c'erical appointments ; that the people should have some power in a matter so important to themselves, and in which they were so much interested. The dean pro ceeded to descant upon the want of proper discipline in the Church, where, he said, they had too much of the mob and too little of the army. He thought Improved discipline would tend more than anything to the increased efficiency of the Church and the " com prehension of Dissenters." At the afternoon sitting, a paper was read by the Rev. Canon Hopkins as to " How laymen can best help forward the work of Christ and His Church in their several parishes ; and whether it is desirable and practicable to have permanent deacons as well as lay readers." The rev. canon was decidedly in favour of such a system. The Ven. the Archdeacon of Ely next read a paper "On the present state of the church-rate question, and what steps should be taken in consequence of recent legislation connected therewith ;" and the Ven., the Dean of Ely founded upon it a motion, "That it is highly desirable that a general effort should be made throughout the diocese to bring into operation the new law concerning church rates." Mr. Arthur Sperling, Mr. W. C. Little (Elm), Mr. T. H. Naylor, and other gentle men, spoke to the question. The motion, having beer geonded by Mr. Beresford Hope, M.P., was carried.

EIRMINGHAM.-At the great meeting of Liberals held on Monday night, one of the speakers implored the electors not to be misled by any rumours that might come oat at half-past eight or half-past nine on the day of polling. The Liberal committee (he said) would take care to issue a state of the poll every ten minutes. Don't let them be deceived ; let them vote as they were told ; and if, at two or three o'clock, their illustrious friend Mr. Bright was behind they would give him such a pushing up that would send him, perhaps, a great deal higher than he (the speaker) should like him to be. He wished the three Liberals to be equal at four o'clock. IS , umwicH.—Mr. Capper, the present Conservative member, has retired in favour of Mr. Worms, the other Conservative candidate. The Liberal candidates are Mr. Knatchbull-Hugessen and Mr. Henry Brassey.

Brand, M.P., has come forward as the second Liberal candidate for Hertfordshire. The two Liberal candidates have just issued their addresses to the electors. The announcement of Mr. Brand's canvass has given the greatest satisfaction to the Liberal party in Hertfordshire, where Lord Dacre is extremely popular. EAST SURREY.-Mr. James Lord, of Wandsworth, and Mr. William Hardman, of Norbiton Hall, have issued their addresses in the Conservative iLterest in opposition to Messrs. Locke King and Buxton. Mr. Hardman says: " I am strongly opposed to Mr. Gladstone's scheme for the disestablishment and disendowment of the Irish branch of the English Church ; but, at the same time, I would not withhold my support from any well-con sidered plan—conceived in a friendly spirit—for its reform." DUBLIN.-Sir Dominic Corrigan has been selected, at a meeting of the Liberal party, to stand for the city in con junction with Mr. Pim. Mr. Ball, the Solicitor-General for Ireland, has addressed the electors of the University of Dublin.

BANBURY. —Although there is a split in the Liberal camp, the Conservatives do not intend to bring forward a candidate. Mr. Samuelson (L.) the sitting member, is opposed by Mr. Mewburn. WENLOCK.—General Forester, M.P. for this borougn, addressed his constituents on Monday night. In the course of his remarks upon the Irish Church, General Forester said he firmly believed that Mr. Gladstone was a Roman Catholic—a statement which was greeted with mingled cheers and hisses. It is announced that the Duke of Genoa, son of the King of Italy, is going to Eton. Lord and Lady Chelmsford and Hon. Miss Thesiger have been staying with the Earl and Counteis of Derby at Knowsley. On Monday five more of the bodies of the per eons lost in 18GG at the Oaks Colliery were recovered—four boys and ono man. Only one of tho bodies was identified.

Mr. Disraeli has been pleased to direct that the widow of Dr. Stevelly, formerly Professor of Natural Phi losophy in Queen's College, Belfast, shall receive an imme diate grant of £lOO from the Royal bounty, in consideration of the important services rendered to science during :a long period of years by her late husband. On Monday the foundation stone of a new hall for the city of Manchester was laid. Tho building, which will be one of the most magnificent municipal buildings, is ex pected to cost upwards of half a miilion of money. It will be erected iu the Gothic style of architecture, from designs by Mr. Waterhouse, and will contain 250 rooms. EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE OF A RAILWAY TRAIN. —A very extraordinary incident occurred during the storm at Hartlepool on Saturday night, by which a passenger train narrowly escaped destruction. Between the two Hartlepools is a short line of railway, with only one pair of metals, which takes a circuitous route on the further side of the docks, passing also, in its course, a large piece of tidal waste, called Middleton Slake. On the banks of that Slake, and at the close of the herring season, many fishermen lay up their cobles for the winter months ; and on Saturday a row of these boats lay, keel uppermost, on its banks, just at the point where it is closely skirted by the railway in question. While the gale was at its worst, between nine and ten o'clock,a fisherman, to whom one of the cobles belong, went to see if all was right with the boats, and, on his arrival, found one of them had been carried by the wind and deposited fairly across the line of rails, upon which in about half an hour the last train from West Hartlepool to Old Hartlepool was due. This train is usually crowded with passengers, and had it encountered the obstruction it would in all probability have been pre cipitated into the Slake, into which the rising tide had flowed to the depth of three or four feet. Knowing in what peril the train would be placed, the fisherman ran off for help, and scon returning with four comrades, they dragged the coble off the line but a few minu4s,Nfere the train came up,--,Ar9/1/a4 Doily Expraii, \V. .IV.
