Upon seeing the policemen, prisoners, with their supporters, decamped, and some time afterward were discovered fighting in another locality, This time the officers succeeded in capturing M'Nara, after some resistance ; and Flint was apprehended in Nottingham shortly afterwards. The depositions having been read over, the bench committed the prisoners for trial. A CASE FOR THE HUMANE SOCIETY. —Henry Watts, a diver, of Sunderland, has at different times res cued twenty-five persons from drowning. These services have often been rendered at the imminent risk of his own life, and yet the Humane Society, which undertakes to reward bravery such as his, has not, so far, noticed him at all. The Mayor of Sunderland has taken some steps to secure & fitting recognition of the noble conduct of Watts the diver. ADULTERATION OF TOBACCO.—At the Bandon petty sessions, on Monday, a prosecution was instituted by the Commissioners of Excise against Mr. Stanley, a local trader, for using starch in the manufacture of to bacco. Similar prosecutions have recently taken place in Dublin and Londonderry, the use of starch in tobacco manufacture being considered a serious fraud on the re venue, and prohibited under heavy penalties. Mr. Stanley pleaded guilty of the charge, and alleged in mitigation of the penalty thitt the article was not used with a fraudulent intention, but simply to improve the appearance of the tobacco. The magistrates quite acquitted Mr. Stanley of the fraudlent intent, but was obliged to impose the miti gated penalty of £75. They agreed, however, to join in a memorial to the Commissioners of Excise to obtain an abatement of the fine.—Cork Examiner. _ _ NV MEDICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON.—This, the oldest of the numerous medical societies in London, will com mence its ninety-sixth session on the evening of Monday, the 19th inst., when a paper will be road by the president, Dr. Richardson, F.R.S.

The speedy dissolution of Parliament is spoken of . With more or less confidence by several of our con temporaries. The Times says that the event will come off shortly before or after Lord Mayor's Day, a thoroughly City mode of reckoning. The Daily News and the Daily Telegraph are more precise. They say that the writs will be issued on November 11, and that the borough elections will probably take place on Monday and Tuesday, the 16th and 17th and the county elections on the 18th and 20th. This would be a shorter interval than usual between the two elections. This brevity arises froth the fact that the Registration Act of last session provides that knights of the shire shall be elected within four days of making the proclamation, instead of six, as heretofore. Presuming that these statements are accurate, there is no reason why Par liament should not get through the work of swearing in members and electing a Speaker by the' end of November ; so that the great debate which is to decide the fate of the Ministry may begin with December. MR. DISRAELI, The Premier is gene on a visit to the Earl of ibergavenny, who, as Viscount Nevin, will be remembered for the correspondence which passed between him and Mr. Disraeli when the Prime Minister, having abandoned his scheme of levelling up, first hoisted the No-Popery banner. The visit just now is rather significant. No doubt the Premier goes to be confirmed in his new faith, which must be sorely shaken at times when hi. 9 " historic conscience" reminds him of "an alien Church." MR. BOUVERIE AND MR. MILL. The correspondence between Mr. Bouverie and Mr. Mill, which has just been published, is well worth reading, and Liberal candidates would do well tc study it. Mr. Bouverie's letters are as neat instances of a gentlemanly " setting down" as we have ever read. What right has Mr. Mill to assume that he knows better than the electors of Kilmarnock who is the better representative, Mr. Bouverie or Mr. Chadwick ? Even supposing that Mr. Chadwick is the better man, why should he attempt to supplant a good man, instead of one whom he would consider a bad representative; why not, fight a Tory, whose views he would condemn. than a Liberal with whose views he would agree ? Ie a constituency to be always changing its representa tives, in the hope of improving them ? Would a master be morally justified in turning off a good and faithful servant, who had been with him for a quarter of a century, because he thought he could get a better one ?" Mr. Mill, who takes no part in his own election, who runs off to the South of France when the electors of Westminster would like to hear his opinions on the questions of the day, is strangely fond of interposing in other elec tions. Testimonials to the worth of Mr. Chad wick, Mr. Odger, and Mr. Bradlaugh are scarcely fair when they are given at the expense of Mr. Bouverie, Sir Henry Hoare, and Lord Henley. The value of one to the first-named gentleman must be very much deteriorated by the fact that it is also forthcoming for " Iconoclast.' It is a pity Mr. Mill does not follow the example of Mr. Bright, and decline to sanction the plan of putting up political principles to auction. THE MINORITY CLAUSE. Every effort is being made by the Liberal party in London, Birmingham, and elsewhere to " defeat the minority clause." The gain, however, if anything, will be with the Liberals themselves. The clause affects thirteen constituencies, returning forty members. The Nonconformist, in calculating the probable results of these elections, points out that the same constituencies returned in 1865 thirty-five members—twenty Conservatives and fifteen Liberals. Giving the supportersof the Government the full benefit of doubtful contests, it seems probable that the seats affected by the minority principle will be about equally divided, in which case the Liberal party would benefit by the experiment to the extent of five seats. This deduction, however, implies that they would have been unable, if this innovation had not been made, to gain a seat during the present election for Berks, Bucks, and Oxford. THE HOME SECRETARY AND THE PAYMENT OF POOR RATES. The inevitable " principle of the Reform Bill meets us at every turn. The fact is, that the per sonal payment of rates has been found altogether unworkable. The poor people who were summoned and could not pay have become so numerous that Mr. Hardy has been appealed to. He has therefore issued a circular pointing out that a summons is not necessary as a preliminary to a relief from the burden, but that a day may be appointed for those desiring to be excused to wait upon the magistrates and obtain a dispensation from payment. CAPTAIN SZERARD 0.930 RN. Captain Sherard Osborn, who is now contesting Birkenhead in the Liberal interest, has just made a very remarkable speech. It was upon the subject of naval expenditure, but instead of dealing with the well-known facts and figures which have been already discussed ad nauseant, he went to the root of the mat ter, and sheaved that our extravagance arose from a false and antiquated foreign policy. Tie contended that " the British notion that the high seas were made for Englishmen only, was beginning to give way. lie had found it very difficult to bring his mind to the conclusion that the high seas were not altogether made for Englishmen. The notion of exclusiveness was disappearing, and in company with it the impression that i Eng land ought to k ee p u p squadrons n . all the seas of the worl d, and maintain the police of those seas for the rest of the world at her own expense. Various strong positions in different parts of the world;such as Gibraltar, had been seized, and the English people were told that those places were 4 keys' which must be fortified. The fact was, that in these days of ironclad steamers such keys were practically useless. Twenty Gibraltars could not pre vent those steamers from going into or coming out of the Mediterranean Sea." We believe that hitherto the authors of " Essays on International Policy "—Mr. Congreve, Mr. Beesly, Dr. Bridges, and others of the " Positivist " school—have been the only persons bold enough to declare that we ought to surrender Gibraltar. That a member of one of the " services " should assert this, is indeed a remarkable occurrence. Captain Osborn appears equally prepared to give up Malta, which costs us a million a year, and says that he will assist Mr. Gladstone in demanding that England shall no longer be burdened with the cost of defending Canada. If Mr. Gladstofie gets many such allies as Captain Osborn the reform of our national expenditure will prove far easier than a reform of Parliament proved. MR. DOULTON. Mr. Doulton, the Adullamite M.P. for Lam beth, has retired. We are not surprised to hear it. Mr. Doulton alleges ill health ; the same cause, by the way, which made him ask for delay when certain grave charges were brought against him at Brussels. his politics, too, are not of the Lambeth pattern, and having no longer an unlimited supply of money wherewith to make them go down, he very wisely retires, and leaves the battle to be fought by two rich citizens. As the Liberal candidates are, by the retirement of Mr. Hughes and Mr. Doulton, reduced from four to two, the prospects of Mr. Morgan Howard, the " Constitutional " candidate, are not brilliant. THE CONTINGENT I3AEONETCY. Mr. Darby Griffith appears to have discovered a mare's nest. It is not the first time he has made that discovery. He asserted that Sir Samuel Bignold, being anxious to induce a certain gentleman to stand for Norwich, received from him the answer that he would do so only on his claims to a baronetcy being recognised by the Premier, and that thereupon Samuel obtained from Mr. Disraeli a promise that the coveted honour should be bestowed. Sir Samuel writes to deny the story in every particular. He received no such communication, and made no such application. Mr. Darby Griffith must try again. CONSERVATIVE JOURNALISM. The " Working Men's Constitutional Association at Deal have passed a resolution, in which they com plain that all the most widely-circulated weekly news papers are of Liberal politics, and they ask the Conservative unions to " agitate " for a Conservative weekly paper. The men of Deal do not seem to have heard of the British Monarchy and the British Lion, both cheap weekly Conservative papers—both, we believe, now defunct. Then there w as the Realm, a high-priced paper of " Constitutional " politics, which lasted four weeks; and the Monitor, which was never more than a name. Either Conservative papers are very unfortunate, or Conservative newspaper readers are very few. - THE BALLOT. , The Ballot Society, formed several years ago to advocate the adoption of the ballot, admits, n an a ddress to the electors, that so fa r the y have failed in their object. Mr. Gladstone, in his speech at Liver pool, sheaved that he was still opposed to it • Mr. Mill, m his speech to the constituency at Westminster s declared very emphatically against it ; and thong Mr. Bright still insists upon it, he elncs so with little , thatfervourwhich its advocates used in years gone L. On the other hand, the new men of the Liberal part, and most of the advanced candidates are going ii strongly in its favour. It i 3 by no means improbabli that the coming session will witness a struggle upol it, and in no way impossible that another goner::. election will be decided by the ballot-box. In th meantime, however, the Ballot Society is very anxiom as to the extent of corruption during the election which are now at hand. They have, therefore issued a manifesto, warning the electors, new am . old, against the dangers to which they are expor., - Cd t cautions them against both corruption and X. a raDmAcatioil, £34,083,8:0 DAPAR.TNIENT.

FORBES, Chief Cashier. [ADVERTISEMENT.] Holloway's Pills.—Palpitation of the heart is frequently not only felt, but heard, prevents sleep, and begets the utmost dread of impending suffocation. These Pills are particularly recommended for removing this affection, because they strengthen the nervors and debilitated, who are much more liable to this milady than other persons. Holloway's Pills so improve the digestion, increase action of the liver, and give activity to the bowels, that giddiness, headache, and nasuea depart as the palpitation diMinishes, and the sufferer at once experiences the most indescribable relief from anxiety. Hollo ,way's Pills form the best alterative and aperient in all cases of convalescence from fevers, ` inflammations, neuralgia, and all chronic diseases which have impoverished the blood and brain. DISTURBANCES IN BOHEMIA.—The lndependance Beige observes that the Governor of Bohemia has not had long to wait before exercising his exceptional powers. Until now the persons who have habitually created dis turbances dispersed at the sight of soldiers merely to change the scene of disorder; but now the breakers of the peace have been informed that the hour of tolerance is over, and that General Koller is determined to maintain order by all the means in his power. At Smichow lately they had proof positive of his intentions, inasmuch as several men were wounded, either from making resistance or from being charged Oct brusquely. the exposure -or both or them, in whatever "form they may be manifested, that so their immediate effects may as far as possible be neutralised and their ultimate destruction secured. In connec with this subject, a novel address issued •to the electors of Merthyr Tydvil and Aberdare should be noticed. It proceeds from an ironmaster, named Jenkins, and is to the effect that the advertiser will pay any elector who loses his situation through voting at the election for Mr. Henry Richard and Mr. Fothergill 20s. per week until such elector is pro vided with a similar situation. The other candidate, Mr. Bruce, is backed, it is said, by an ironmaster employing 8,000 workmen. THE STATE PURCHASE OF RAILWAYS. The Daily .2\rews publishes another letter from Mr. Arthur Williams on the purchase of railways by the State. In his last production Mr. Williams adduced some of the advantages of appropriation. It muss be admitted they are very great indeed. There would be one manageniant, resulting in harmony of action, economy of v .rTiing, certainty of regulation and facility of transit. Instead of conflicting interest there would be only one master -; the enormous salaries to boards would be saved ; a smalle number of officials would be required; the enormous legal " item" would be almost swept way;a the fares would become uniform, and, as a result of the better management, lower. This latter statement Mr. Williams will justify in another letter. 'WATER SUPPLY AND DRAINAGE. It is a question,after all,whether in providing their large subterranean tunnels the corporation of the metropolis obtained the best solution of the drainage difficulty. The trial at the Wimbledon volunteer meeting this year of Moule's dry earth closets resulted satisfactorily. Here was a town established in a few hours, without the means of making sewers of any kind, and yet with perfect drainage—if we may so express it—drainage without water. There were—so, at least, it is posi tively stated—no noxious smells or pestiferous gases, no waste of valuable water (for water on the Common was valuable indeed), and comparatively little labour. That these closets might be set up in villages is now generally admitted. Would it be poszible that they should be used in towns ? Mr. Thomas Hawkesley says " yes," and in a letter to the Times fi , ., - lviscas that an experiment should be made. His prop,;sal is rather arbitrary, however. " Let the Government,", lie says, " set apart a portion of the town for the purpose, and interdict the house holders in that district from throwing anything but animal refuse into earth closets or receptacles, or from disposing of such refuse in any oilier way; then a company would be formed to work the district allotted to it." THE CHINESE EMBASSY IN LONDON. " A Country Cousin " very wisely calls attention to the strange neglect with which we are treating the Chinese Embassy now in London. Here is a country containing one third of the inhabitants of the globe, which sends us 100,000,000 pounds of tea, and takes from us 100,000,000 yards of Manchester and Yorkshire fabrics every year, and yet its offiicial representatives have no sort of State reception ; and for all that we know may be a party of private gentlemen come over to see Madame Tussaud's waxwork or the Tower. On the other hand, if the Hereditary Grand Duke of Stiff und-Starkenstein, whose dominions consist of half a dozen square miles predestined to be gobbled up by Prussia, and whose exports to England are repre sented by some thousand dozens of Seltzer water and a few gross of meerschaum pipes per annum, had paid us a visit, a special train would have conveyed his Serenity from Southampton to London, a depu tation of directors would Lye been in attendance at each railway terminus ; her Majesty's carriages, accompanied, perhaps, by a squa,dro3 of Life Guards, would have conveyed the illustrious stranger to Windsor ; he would have dined in state . at the Mansion House, and feasted with civic compamez, The Americans know better. They are paying every deference to a nation numerous enough, and if led by a military genius powerful enough, to overrun Europe. An astute New Englander presides over the mission, and must be smiling grimly at our mistake. Thf truth is, we cannot get rid of our old traditions ) and because German dukelings still continue to provide us with husbands and wives for the children of our sovereign, we still think them as of much importance as we did when the King of England was King of Hanover, and China was a terra incognita. MR. GLADSTONE ON THE CHINESE WAR. A correspondent of the Times illustrates what he calls " the inaccuracy of contemporary history," by a criticism of Mr. Gladstone's speech at Warrington. The right hon. gentleman ascribed the Chinese mis- Understanding in 1559 to Lord Elgin's being escorted up the Peiho by a fleet, when he went to sign the treaty of peace. " Civilian," however, points out, in a letter to the Times, that there are several in accuracies in this statement. In the first place, it was Sir F. Bruce, and not Lord Elgin, who went to the Peiho in June 1859 ; and, in the second, his mission was not to sign a treaty of peace, but to exchange the ratifications of the treaty of peace which had been signed by Lord Elgin twelve months before=in June 1858. And as to criticising the Government ,(Conservative) for sending the fleet out, " Civilian " maintains that it wb,.: a precaution snore than justified by the treachery suet IN;ith. MR. PURCHAS AND THE BISHOP OF CEELCHESTED. correspondence of seven letters between Mr. Purchas, the Bishop of Chichester, and Mr. Wagner, the vicar of Brighton, is published. The Times makes it the subject of a severe article upon the first named gentleman. The letters scarcely justify that severity. Mr. Purchas disputes the legality of the Bishop's inhibition, not because ho believes his ritual to be lawful, but because he is the incumbent of a benefice, and cannot be legally inhibited, as a clergyman who is only a curate can be. The question at issue is, therefore, no longer one of doctrine or ritual, but of property. The Bishop has a perfect right to proceed against Mr. Purchas, but he must do so legally. It does not appear that he is doing this. Another point is raised incidentally in the correspondence. Complaints have been made against Mr. Purehas for mutilating the service. He admits the mutilation, but says it took place only on one occasion and in conse quence of his sudden illness, and that it shall not occur again—a sufficient answer, one would have sup posed. On the other hand, he alleges that the vicar of Brighton persistently, constantly, and of full pur pose " mutilates " the services, by infrequent celebra tions of the Holy Communion, by the total omission of all the saints' day services, and of those for Ash Wednesday and Ascension Day; by omissions of parts of the marriage service, he not allowing marriages to be solemnised in the other churches. Lastly, Mr. Wag ner charges fees for the registration of baptisms, a pro ceeding which, inasmuch as it virtually amounts to sell ing one of the sacraments is infinitely more important and more objectionable than the presence of lighted candles on the altar. Clearly, the bishops ought to be impartial ; and if they are determined to insist upon exact compliance with the Act of Uniformity, they must demand it as much from those who err by defect as from those who err by excess. In this matter the Bishop of Chester set a good example to the Bishop of Chichester when he replied to the memorial presented to him by Dr. M'Neile and other Low Church clergy of his diocese. THE BISHOP OF CARLISLE. The rector of Woodland, North Lancashire, Mr. Shuffiebotha,m, lately asked his diocesan, the Bishop of Carlisle, to be present at • the laying the founda tion-stone of a new parsonage. Bishop Waldegrave declined,{ and in a second letter denounced harvest thanksgivings and choral services as " stumbling blocks m a brother's way, when a Romanising party in our Church is busy in every direction in that unhal lowed work." Is it possible that a bishop of the English Church, a double first class university man, a Protestant of Protestants,whohasalways contended for " an open Bible," is so little acquainted with that book as to be ignorant that harvest thanksgivings are to be found there ; that they were common t o thousand years before Popery ; and that the Psalms which he thinks ought to be read were written by their composers to be sung ? Was David or was Asaph a Papist ? Is not rather Bishop Waldegrave, who denies the right of private judgment.? TIIE REV. ALAN G]IEENWELL. The Manchester Examiner is responsible for the JollOWing paragraph :—" An announcement is made which has no doubt some relation to the recent ritualistic observances at Haydock, near Warrington. The Rev. Alan Greenwell, vicar of Haydock, under whose direction the ceremonies took place, will in a few months resign his office as a clergyman of the Established Church." Surely this is a tragical ending to the pig's-head comedy. Only why does Mr. Green well mean to wait "a few months," if hA intends to resign his office ? t‘ SERVING TIIE LORD." The Young Men's Christian Association at Bath have adopted for their motto, " Not slothful in business ; fervent in spirit, serving the Lord ;" an excellent motto. The Young Men's Christian Asso ciation have also engaged Professor Pepper to lecture upon "Ironclads, shells, big guns, gun powder, and recent improvements in gun cotton." Scarcely an edifying subject for " young men," this ; and not very closely allied to " Chris tianity." Foreign Mail Packet List. MAILS DUE. Australia and New Zealand, via E ou thanw t0n.....N0v. 7.

He leaped a distance extending over four lines of metal, and owing to the speed at which the train was travelling he was carried some distance before the engine, but was then run over and cut to pieces.
