Election intelligence is of a varied character, and although some little time must yet elapse before the decision is arrived at many hon. members are be stirring themselves, and the new candidates are also anxious to take time by the forelock, so that there is no likelihood of these autumn months being as dead and uneventful as they generally are. No doubt by the time the elections really come on a good deal of the work now being accomplished so sedulously will have to be done over again. Still it is natural that those much interested and excited in the matter should apply themselves in some way or other to render success probable if not cer tain. Sandwich seems likely to be hotly contested, and already repartees are up between the several aspirants for the honour of its representation. Mr. IluoEssEN's recent speech was worthy of Lord CRANBORNE'S " warm latitudes." Mr. CAPPER and Mr. HOWES have been addressing their remarks to the freemen and electors of the associated boroughs of Deal, Sandwich, &c. Mr. CAPPER reminded his hearers that rather more than two years had passed since they returned him as their member. It was the day before the memorable "Black Friday," which is no w historical, and which ushered in the gravest commercial crisis that has taken place in this or any other country. Other changes were also at hand, for the RUSSELL-GLADSTONE Administration was even then tottering. Their ill-judged attempt to introduce a Reform Bill was in marked contrast to the long do-nothing policy which had preceded it, and, as the result, the Govern ment sustained a serious defeat on its chosen ground, that of Reform. Mr. DISRAELI, the real author of the Conservative Reform Bill, came into office under Lord DERBY, in the first instance, but was still the directing spirit of the Commons. Mr. CAPPER briefly touched upon the opposition of the leading Liberals to the measure, and in asking why such was the case, replied that the bill was devised iu too liberal a spirit to please them. Mr. GLAD STONE'S party preferred the hard and fast line of a five pound rental to the house hold franchise, accompanied by the payment of rates. Some impressive remarks were made by the hon. member on the career of the present Premier. The mantle of Lord DERBY fell upon him when that nobleman was unfortunately compelled to retire, and he could not have been more worthily succeeded. "Mr. DISRAELI is one of ourselves, and he has made himself what he is, and I would ask any assembly of Englishmen whether he is not entitled to have our fair support and sympathy for the way in which he has conducted the business of the country. It behoves us, if we have respect for working men and those who raise themselves, to support him." An explanation was then given of the chief reasons which induced Mr. GLADSTONE and his friends to bring forward the question of the Irish Church in so sudden a manner, and with little or no preparation for the changes they contemplated. An hon. member took occasion during the earlier part of the Session to dilate upon the prospects of the party, and said that it was in a wretched and unpromising condition. Proceeding still further with his meaning, he said " the Liberal party is a mere rabble, with leaders that do not lead, and followers that do not follow." This annoyed Mr. GI.ADSTONE so much that he made up his mind to do something that should serve to rally round him the Liberal party, and the result is evident to all in the " captious opposi tion" which assailed the Ministry, and the general disarrangement of the business of the session. Mr. IlowEs made some observations which were chiefly directed to the remarks of Mr. HUGESSEN. That gentleman had said that it was a most ungra cious act of his to depose him because he had been concerned in removing the disabilities of the Jews, and came to the logical conclusion that but for his exertions in the cause of religiuus liberty Mr. 110 WES could not have interfered with him. Re ferring to some of the works of his party, Mr. HOWES mentioned the Factory Acts, by which immense good was done to the working classes, and great benefits conferred on the children employed. Among the subjects which ought to engage attention he referred to the Poor-laws, and truly said that poverty is not a crime ; b u t as things now stand, an excuse might be found for crime in the thought that people are much better treated in prison than they are in the workhouse. LATE EDITION of "THE SUN" at W. SMITIE'S "Camden Stores," 78, Park-street, Camden A very serious charge has been made against General GRANT, though it requires confirmation, since in the Uuited States men are not too careful of the,way in which they circulate reports. It is:said that the General, when commander of the Western army, permitted his father to carry on a contraband trade with the South. The elder GRANT has brought a suit against MACK BROTHERS, a firm in St. Louis, and he alleges that in consideration of a permit from his son he was to receive from the MACKS one-fourth of the proceeds of a contraband speculation in cotton. The suit has been brought because the MACKS, after the cotton had been obtained, refused to give the elder GRANT his pro per share. Still it does not follow, if this story is substantially true, that General GRANT is personally implicated. Ile may have b.:en unaware of the purpose for which his father required the " permit," and as the elder GRANT does not - seem by his own showing to have been too s Irupulous in the affair he may not have hesitated to obtain the permit on false pretences. In any case it .;8 rather unfortunate for the General that the matter Ahould be brought under notice on the eve of the elt Ction. _• __ ___ Lyons and Mediterranean Southern..... 575 Western Eastern .. 558 Sardinian Austrian 550 Lombard 407 North of Spain 53 Saragossa Roman 4O The Bourse Gazette of Berlin says A project has been set on foot, as you are aware, to organize here an international exhibition in the year 1872.

The Spanish Government is so provoked at the welcome given in Portugal to the Duke and Duchess of Montpensier, that the idea of recalling the Spanish Ambassador at Lisbon wan seriously entertained—hut not for long. The raid upon the press still continues. The Moniteur publishes some details respecting the surprise and massacre of twenty five French soldiers in Cochin China, already reported by telegraph. From this it appears that the attack was made on the 16th June, at three in the morning ; the assailants entered the fort by a gate unsecurely barricaded, and, after killing the sentinel, NI upon the men, who were sleeping in different huts. The lieutenant and several soldiers, however, had time to seize their arms, and defended themselves to the last moment but they all perished excepting one man, who succeeded in escaping into the bushes. As soon as the news of this melancholy event reached the Governor of Cochin China, steps were taken to punish the insurgents. A corps corn• posed of French troops and native militia was despatched, under the command of Captain Ansart, commander of the province of Vinh-Long, and having reached 'lac:II-Gin on the 21st of June, drove out the enemy, who fled, alto suffering great loss, and abandoning their arms. This affair cost only one native killed and two Frenchmer, wounded. The band of miscreants, 1,000 in number, was composed entirely of robbers, and only succeeded through want of vigilance on the part of the commander of the small garrison. The disaster, says the Moniteur, was quite accidental and local, and the movement has not anread. NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE. AGUA.

PROTOSED RAILWAY BETWEEN ENGLAND AND FRANCE. A plan has been brought forward by Mr. Remington for uniting England and France. In his prospectus he states that the line is intended to commence at the town of Lydd, where it will join the branch railway from the South Eastern at Appledore. It will descend from Lydd at an inclination of 1 in 70, the distance of 3i miles to the point of Dungeness, where the level of the rails will be 240 feet below the level of the low-water spring tides ; the rails would then rise from Dungeness shaft at the rate of 1 in 3,795 for about 7 miles, then fall at the rate of 1 in 1,200 for about 8 miles to the centre shaft on the "ridge ; from thence fall at the rate of 1 in 3,265 for 11 miles to Cape Grisnez, and then rise at the rate of 1 in 70 and 1 in Si to join the French railways. One advantage that Mr. Remington mentions of the Dungeness route in preference to that of the Dover and Calais, is that the tunnel he estimates can be constructed for £7,000,000, whereas a bridge from Dover to Calais has been estimated to cost £20,000,000. According to Mr. Remington's plan, the height of the tunnel will be thirty feet from the soffit of the arch to the centre of the invert, and there will be a clear headway of twenty feet for the trains : the width of the tunnel will be twenty-five feet ; it will be constructed of brickwork and masonry, surrounded with concrete ; there will be three main shafts of large dimensions ; the centre shaft on the " ridge" will be protected by a break water, formed of rubble and faced with ashlars ; the other shafts are to be effected by means of wrought iron tubular piles from eight to ten feet square, or diameter, the inside strengthened with plates on the cellular principle. Mr. Remington remarks that " should it be decided on to employ ten intermediate shafts, it is quite clear that the tunnel may be carried on in twenty-six sections simulta neously, and, as the distance across the Channel is twenty six miles, gives only one mile for each section, or two miles for a shaft ; and, asuming only one yard advance per day for each heading, the whole works might be ac complished in five and a half years ; but by means of im proved machinery for tunnelling much more rapid progress might be made. ARBITRATIONS AND THEIR COST. The Pall Mall Gazelle calls attention to the great cost of arbitrations at law. An arbitration suggests to ono conci liation, and has a smack of cheapness. In actual practice an arbitration is nothing but a lawsuit of the most lengthy kind in which everything is paid for by the litigants at the very highest price, nothing being supplied by the public. If A and B quar rel about a comparatively simple question—the war ranty say of a horse—the public finds them a court, a judge, and a jury, before whom they may if they please toll their own story in their own persons is long as they please, and practically at no expense except that of their own time and labour, and the time of their witnesses. If the dispute is very complicated —if, for instance, it involves the examination of complicated mercantile affairs in which all sorts of questions, both of law and of fact, are involved—they must first of all hiro a room for th'e hearing at so much a day, they must then Lire a judge at so much a day, twenty guineas, ten guineas, six guineas, three guineas, according to his position, the nature of the case, and the length of the sitting. Their judge will have other business, and will often go off in the middle of the day, for a longer or shorter time, to attend to it. There will be no fixed tube as to the time when the court is to sit, and they will have to bargain and higglo with the other side and to dance attend ance from adjournment to adjournment till the matter is settled, and it may and often does drag on for many months, possibly for several years. At last the judge gives his decision, but Lis fees must be paid before any one knows what it is, and those fees not only re ward him for the labour of hearing the cause, but hide& a stamp duty on the judgment and the law stationer's charges for copying it out. Surely this is not only selling justice but selling it uncommonly dear, and to a man who has already paid taxes for which ho ought to get it gratuitously. It may be asked, what is the remedy ? The Pall Mall Gazette does not profess to be able to sug gest one complete in all its details, but the rough outline of one is not, it thinks, very hard to draw. It certainly is impossible, in many instances, that a case should be tried out before a judge and jury. It would be a mere mockery of justice and waste of the public time to attempt to do so. A trial before an arbi trator is thus a necessity ; but why should not the arbitrator be a public officer, appointed by the judge and paid by the public, and put under regulations which might be devised without very great difficulty as to tho times and places of his sittings ? The arbitrators might be the very same men as sit at present, but they would sit in a different cha racter and with a different authority. ATTACK OF A BRITISII CV - 11 7 130AT O 2 SUPPOSED CIIILVESE PIRATES. The last mail from China brought an account of an attack by the British screw gunboat Algerine on some Chinese junks, which were supposed to be pirate vessels. In reference to this account the Straits Times of the 4th July makes the following extraordinary statement : "A very painful discovery has been made in connection with the engagement the Algerine lately had, as described the last report, with a fleet of Chinese junks, supposed to be pirates, down the west coast. One of these, it will remembered, was captured, and brought into Hong Kong. It was here ascertained, after a while, that the fleet had not been a pirate fleet after all, but had simply been composed of Canton trading junks, on theirway to Hainan, which bad been sailing in company for their own protec tion. It must be understood that the trading junks are almost as much in fear of the Chinese Government gun boats as of the pirates. Latterly in particular these revenue cruisers have been levying black mail at sea over and above the regular duty which the Chinese merchants have paid on their goods. Of course such proceedings were utterly illegal, but the victims had no remedy at their disposal. To resist the cruisers, they had, it seems, determined to sail on this voyage strongly armed, and in company. Of course it is very painful to think that a British gunboat attacked them with round shot and grape, and slaughtered immense numbers of innocent persons. That the junks brought their misfortunes on their own head by pertinaciously refusing to shew their papers is but au imperfect consolation. The Algerinehad a Chinese mandarin on board, by whose authority she attacked the junks, and whether he was misled as to their character, or deliberately made use of the English gunboat as a tool with which to wreak vengeance on the native merchants who had succeeded in escaping from the Government ' squeeze,' is a question not easy to answer." The same journal gives an account of an attack by pirates on the North German barque Lesmona, while on a voyage from Singapore to Saigon : " While becalmed in the Gulf of Tonquin she was taken —actually captured, looted, and then scuttled—by Chinese pirates. The vessel seems to have had eight double barrelled breech•loading muskets on board, and a large quantity of ammunition, but the crew refused to fight, and allowed themselves to be taken by one pirate junk, and boarded by only 20 or 30 natives. This is the first instance in which a European vessel has been attacked for considerably more than a year." PRIZEFIGHTERS ON RAILWAYS. —There is a JeC tion in the, New Regulation of Railways Act, published on Monday, that a railway company " knowingly " letting for hire a train for prizefighters, shall be liable to a fine of £5OO, one-half to be given to the informer, and the other in aid of the county rate. Mr. Thomas Clapham has again been charged be fore the Leeds magistrates with permitting tho performance of music at the Royal Park without a license. Mr. Clapham made a long address, disputing the action of the bench in "this" and the many former cases in which he had been fined; but he was again fined £lO for the offence on Satur day and Sunday, August Ist and 2d, £5 for each day.

A MURDERER'S IMPULSE. —Gunner Benjamin Sheldon, who was hanged at Lucknow for having shot and killed Bombardier Wall, made a strange confession. On the day of the murder he had been led " by the kindness of his friends," to drink to excess. "In the evening," lie says, " I must have been at roll-call, although I do not recollect it ; and the first thing I do recollect, and after leaving the canteen when it was closed, was finding myself at the cot of Corporal Wall with a carbine in my hand. I cannot tell whether Corporal Wall was asleep or awake. It was then, as in a moment, I felt impelled by some uncontrollable impulse to shoot him. I tried not to do it, but I had no power— it was as if I could not leave the spot. It seems to me as if I had been under a strong and irrisistible temptation of the devil. Ido not remember discharging the carbine, or speaking to anyone ; but my next conscious moment was when I was being handcuffed in the guard room, as one of the handcuffs nipped me. It was not until the next morning, when I was told of what had happened, that the circumstance of haying been at Corporal_ cot flashed upon me." . .2,,am... °IP " DIEM ~ rti/ bit g HER, MAJESTY.

Morrison, F.A.S.L., Coin- mander R.N. Captain Morrison has for some years been veil well kno /ten as a highly accomplished master both of astronomy and mathematics. He has evidenced hie ability as a student in each of those grand sciences by works displaying a large amount of research and a yet larger amount of originality. Nothing that he has hitherto written upon either thecae, however, can in any way vie in daring with the remarkable pamphlet-treatise here submitted to our consideration. Although in a purely tentative manner, it undertakes to sweep altogether on one aide, as obsolete from this time forth and for ever, the whole Newtonian System as based upon the law of gravitation and upon the balance or equipoise produced by the relative influence upon each other of the centrifugal and centrepital forces. Newton's conclusion was " that the power of gravity was sufficient to give the planets a mo tion in a straight line, but that it required the power of the Almighty to deflect that motion into an orbit." Not satisfied, according to c a ptain Morrison, with this partial or inferential profanity* , as he deems it to have been, the followers of New' ton, he says, going very much farther than their master, " refer all motion and nearly all formation to the power of gravity alone." Sir Isaac Newton's chief dogma, it will be remembered, is, that " each particle of matter attracts all other particles in the universe in the inverse ratio of the distances from each other." Commenting upon which dictum, our pamphleteer exclaims, "So that every particle of matter in a sack of flour attracts every particle in the miller's snuff-box, and vice versa." Adding , " How wonderfully this clears up the mystery of creation, and makes all that was hitherto full of doubt as plain as a pikestaff !" Captain MorrisodO first argument against the credibility of the New tonian scheme of the Solar System arises out of the consideration that, although the Earth in going round the Sun once each year, and being at a die' Lance from that b.aly of nearly 95,000,000 of miles—consequently twice each year remov ing double that distance, or, iu other words, 190 millions of miles—nevertheless, " we are informed," he argues, " that this vast and trona' sous distance makes no kind of difference in the appearance of the fixed stars as a rule ; and that the Pole Star, fur instance, does not appear to be removed even the fraction of a second from its place at the vernal equinox, when the earth ha s reached its destination at the au t umna l equ inox. Observe—supposing there were but one second of parallax discernible, which there is not—the dis tance of the Pole Star (the nearest of the filed stars) from the earth would then be—what? WV, more than thirty-nine billions o ne h un d r ed au° ninety-one thousand millions of miles! To put it is numerals-39,191,000,000,000 ! But —one seconu or one fraction of a second of parallax there is not discernible—"and therefore," argues our Iconoclaa! of Newtonianism, " the Pole Star must be suppose' to be much further away." Furthermore, he asks Is it not far more reasonable and satisfactory to think and believe that the reason we can dis cover no kind of parallax in the Pole Star is, vet that it exists at this wondrous distance, but that the earth does not move at all from its place at the vernal equinox ; and that, therefore, there shoul d needs be no kind of parallactic angle formed with the sun." Not only was it the belief of Aristotle and Ptolemy, he insists, but it was the belief of 3 thousand great men since their day that the ear th r is at rest and in the centre of the solar system. F, beyond the authority:of Ptolemy or of Aristotle, of all the Pagan sages combined is the emphatic all Cl reiterated declaration, he maintains, of King Dal j as set forth in the ninety-third and ninety-ai t Psalms, "The earth is established and cannot be at all shaken"—in Hebrew Alph thacun thabel, b e i ihamut —in Latin (the Vulgate) Etenim _firma ° 0 orbemterrx, qui non conzmovebitur—inFrench (Jaque s de Bay, 1572) Certainement it a affermy le monde' lequel ne se bouge point —or, in the English ve rsioef " The world, also, is stablished, that it cannot1)o11 moved," or, in other words, " cannot be at 11 ,_. shaken." Hence, " The New P r incipia, or the True System of Astronomy," as here set forth hi R. J. Morrison, F.A.S.L., Commander R.N. In it, that is, .in this daring little treatise of 64 pag e !: " TheXarth is proved [to quote the declarat i on on its title page] to be the Stationary Centre of ~0„, Solar System."
