HACINET.—The Conservative candidate, Colonel Thom son, has retired from the contest, and a requisition is being prepared to induce Captain John Story to come for.. Sergeant Sleigh declined a similar invitation. LONDON lINIvERsITY.—Of the candidates originally an nounced for the representation of the London University in Parliament at the approaching election Dr. Wood Sir, J. Lubbock, and Mr. Bageh3t have formally 'withdrawn; and at the present moment the only other can didate besidos Mr. Lowe is Mr. J. IL Quaine. It seems generally understood that Mr. Lowe is to walk over the course ; but, as Mr. Quaino has not formally intimated his intention of retiring from the canvass, it would be premature to assume that there will be no contest. _ _ _ _ OXFORD UNIVERSITY.—A meeting of members of Convo cation has resolved to ask Sir Roundel Palmer to be the candidate for the seat vacated by Sir W. Heathcote. SHEFFIELD.-At a meeting in Ecclesall Vestry-hall Mr. Roebuck has been denied a hearing. Mr. Leng, the chair man, was treated in the same way. Mr. Roebuck on leaving was followed by a great crowd, who greeted him with vol ley's of hooting. CumgrEu.—Dr. Bedford, the fifth candidate, has issued his address to the " electors, non-electors, and electoresses." He would disestablish the Welsh Church as well as the Irish, would "open all public, places of instruction on the Stun's-day ? " and abolish the confessional in the whole of the British empire, placing " nunneries and monkeries" under Government inspection. EAST Surattr.—The Tinics says—lt Is now, we believe, definitively settled that there will be no Conservative oppo sition to the return of the present two Liberal members (the Hon. P. J. Locke-King atd Mr. Charles Burton) for this division of the county. By the last registration the Liberals claim an increased majority of 560. EAST Susstx.—Mr. Dodson, Chairman of Committees in the House of Commons, and Lord Edward Cavendish, the two Liberal members, have issued their addresses seeking re-election.

The decrease in pressure noticed yesterday afternoon has extended to all stations during the night, and has become very serious at northern and western stations. The reading at Nairn is 0181 n. lower than that reported yesterday, and the difference between readings at Nairn and Rochefort is inin. Temperature has risen very quickly in Scotland : little change is perceived in the south. In the Irish sea a sudden south-westerly gale sprung up last night, and still con tinues. In the S. of Ireland the wind is very fresh, but more westerly ; and in the English Channel a moderate south-westerly breeze is reported. Rain has fallen in the N. and W. The weather is cloudy or overcast, and unsettled. At Ardrossan and Valencia the ais high. Warnings issued to all coasts this morning. The Western Daily Press says—Lord Penrhyn iE an extensive landowner in Wales. On a property of his called (in the English tongue) Red Quarry, there are eighty Nonconformist workmen. These persons wished to rent a piece of land from his lordship, to build an Independent chapel upon. Two ministers of the Independent body waited upon Lord Penrhyn's agent to make the request, but it was peremptorily refused on the ground that the two ministers forming the deputation ap proved of the Liberation Society's doings. Some corres pondence passed, and one of the ministers intimating his intention to publish the correspondence, he was forbidden by a letter from Lord Penrhyu's solicitor to do so at his 0 W R. to 9 c.o. 01/ b.r.0*2 17 4 f.bo 0•02 29 7 90 f. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 11', 1868. SHARE LIST. 70PICS OF 211 E DAY. - TilE REGISTRATIONS. It is expected that the number of appeals which will be lodged in the Court of Common Pleas against the decisions of the revising banisters in the regis tration courts will be under thirty. A good many of these must be nearly identical, so that a decision in one will involve the settlement of the others. The rumour that the appeals could not be got through before December does not seem to be confirmed. ORDINARY SHARKS AND STOCKS. Paid. Closing Business Snare Railways.

Unless the appeals be forth with lodged and notices given, as required by the Regis tration of Voters Act, the cases cannot be decided by the Court before the elections. The first ease on the list from Manchester will settle the claims of nearly 6,000 women to be on the register. The Court of CJiurnon Pleas will appoint sittings for hearing the appeals soon after the com mencement of Term. TAXES UPON TRAVELLING.—In the financial year ending March 31, 1868, the duty on fares received from railway passengers was paid on £9,702,725, and amounted to £485,136. The stage carriage duty of for every mile travelled was paid for 34,423,057 miles, and amounted to £35,857, and the license duty produced £9,813. 10,695 licenses for keeping post horses were taken out in Great Britain, 1,968 in Ireland, and produced £139,089. The 20s. license duty for hackney carriages (London) pre duced £5,774, and the weekly duty of is. (or 65. if not used 911 suuclays) produced £106,103, FEATS IN ARITHMETIC. The usual arithmetical feats are now being per— formed by those celebrated jugglers the Conservative and Liberal agents. Every day brings some fresh proof of their skill. The registrations afford them a fine stage for the performance of their gymnastics. The Conservative agent always succeeds in proving that his party have gained at the registrations ; the Liberal agents do ditto for theirs. The public looks on, highly amused at first, but a little wearied at last. This kind of sport is all very well for a tune; but then the public is not just now in much of a humour for play. It is intent upon very serious work, and is asking how soon these feats in the registration courts will be succeeded by downright facts at the polling booths. THE REVENUE OFFICERS AND TILE FRANCUISF. Mr. Monk appears to have been much too hn sty in writing to the papers declaring the "perfect political freedom "of revenue officers. Other letters appear to-day, shelving his mistake. The section of the Act to which he refers has not been repealed, after all, but is still in force. He has, probably, been misled by the different numberings of the Act in different editions of it. In one case it is spoken of as 182 of 10th Anne. The Statute Law Revision Commission, however, adopted the number 798 of 10th Anne ; and this is the description given of it in the Act. He has overlooked this fact, and the Act which is repealed is a totally. different one. POLITICS AT BLACKBURN. There is no town in the kingdom, perhaps, where politics run so high as at Blackburn. There have already been riots with the loss of several lives, and it is probable that these disturbances will be renewed. Curiously enough, two of the rival candidates bear the same, though by no means a common name— Feilden. The chairman of the Conservative com mittee has issued a circular to the millowners, asking them to use their " influence " with their employs, a request for which those who have made it deserve severe chastisement. On the other hand, Mr. John Morley and Mr. Congreve, the well-known apostle of Positivism in England, are appealing to the electors direct on behalf of the Liberal candidates. The riots appear to have been caused entirely by the Conservative No-Popery party, who have been attacking the Roman Catholics in the town, where they are very numerous. " INFLUENCE " AT CARDIFF. The Telegraph calls attention to a monstrous system of canvassing which Mr. Giffard has inaugurated at Cardiff. He has sent to several amateur agents of his in Cardiff a circular beginning " Dear sir, will you kindly canvass the person named on the other side, and report the result on the space left for that purpose ?" Overleaf is the following : "If a distinct promise cannot be obtained, please state the name of the voter's employer, or that of any other person likely to influence him." Is not this really too bad ? Would that we might abolish canvassing altogether. THE NEW ILIAD. The Morning Advertiser has for some time past been writing up the claims of Mr. Homer, the ex gin-palace keeper, to the votes of the electors of Hackney. A few days ago a sensation story was told about a man being seen with an open knife ready to plunge it into the ex-victualler's back. The tale has not produced the desired result. Though Mr. Homer offered £lOO for the discovery of his assassin, who was, as it is alleged, seen by a roomful of people, no one has come forward to claim the money. A new appeal is now made. Mr. Homer, it seems, finds the hire of professional pugilists a costly amuse ment, and so the Advertiser appeals to the " trade " to subscribe towards the expenses of their brother. We are inclined to think that we shall very shortly have the privilege of reading a new "Iliad," which will differ from the first in that it will record the fall, not of Troy, but of Homer. RAPID FIRING. According to the Standard, some important remarks concerning the firing of our troops were made recently at Woolwich by the Duke of Cambridge. Under the present system, infantry, when formed in a line, are ordered to fire independently at an imaginary enemy. The result is a continued sheet of flame and a dense cloud of smoke, out of which the reports of the rifles rattle with a rapidity that blentig them all into one, and doubtless affords the spectators 6n admirable idea of the enormous increase of the power of infantry fire. But the pleasure of spectators is not to be considered. By this system Cie soldiers are being trained to waste their ammunition. The great objection to the breechloader was that the soldier would fire away his bullets too quickly, and exhaust them ere the close of the battle. Our troops are encouraged by independent firing to throw their shot away. They manage these things better in Prussia.. There the soldier is trained to reserve his fire. The men are ordered to fire by sections, or by companies. No man fires until he is bidden to do so by his officer or non-commissioned officer. In this way the importance of holding back their ammu nition is impressed upon them ; and they learn coolness and patience in the noise of action. Besides, under these conditions, the soldiers can see what they are about, whereas, directly independent firing with out check commences, the entire line is enveloped in a mass of smoke, and not a man can have the least idea of where he is aiming. The Commander-in- Chief is said to have expressed himself very strongly on this point; and there is every probability that ere long something may be done to remedy the evil. THE LATE CANON HAWKINS. An article in the Guardian on the late Canon Hawkins mentions that he saw during his adminis tration of the S. P. G. an increase of the colonial episcopate from eight to forty-seven sees, and an increase in the society's income from 10,500 to £91,700. It was often suggested to him that he should himself undertake the charge of one of our colonial dioceses, but he felt that he had a sphere of labour at home less conspicuous, but not less onerous or im portant. He held the post of secretary for twenty one years. In 1864 the late Archdeacon Bentinck ; with rare generosity, resigned his canonry of West minster expressly to make way for Mr. Hawkins. It is a little singular that the deaths of these two friends took place, we believe, in the same week. THE NEW PROFESSOR, OF ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY. It is believed that the Regius Professorship of Ecclesiastical History at Oxford, vacant by the pre ferment of Mr. Manse' to the deanery of St. Paul's, has been conferred upon the Rev. Reginald Stubbs, Professor of Modern History, Mr. Stubbs was for somo time librarian of Lambeth, and is an accom plished student of history. The appointment carries with it a canonry in Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford. It now remains for the Crown to appoint a Professor of Modern History. Mr. Stubbs succeeded Mr. Goldwin Smith. THE ARCHIEPISCOPAL MONUMENTS IN CROYDON CHURCH. It will be remembered that last year the famous old church at Croydon was ahnost totally destroyed by fire. It contained monuments of four notable Arch bishops of Canterbury—Wareham, Grindal, Whit gift, and Sheldon. These monuments are not only historically interesting, but are fine works of art. They have been terribly shattered by the fire, and Mr. Gilbert Scott, who is restoring the church, finds that it will be absolutely necessary for him to remove the ruins unless they can be restored. In order to avoid a necessity which he would most bit terly lament, he appeals to the public for funds, and in doing so gives some interesting historical and archaeolo g ical particulars. It is possible that the Whitgift Memorial may be restored by the trustees of his munificent charities. Sheldon's will cost 1,350 to restore, and Mr. Scott has appealed for the amount in vain to the University of Oxford, which has benefited so greatly by the Archbishop's bene factions. The restoration of GrindaFs monument will cost £035. Wareham's, being within a recess, can b© restored without much expense. TIIE NATAL DISPUTE. The Deans of Maritzburg and Capetown write to the Guardian with reference to the interminable Natal dispute. Dean Douglas says that the flippant the total offertory over £3OO. Dean Green argues that and discreditable article in the Times the next day" after the farewell service brought an additional cheque of £6O for the Capetown Association, making in getting a new bishop appointed for the see of Natal there is no encroachment upon the royal pre rogative, since it has been decided that the patent by which Bishop Colenso holds his present position conferred no civil status. The Guardian deeply laments the late S. P. C. K. meeting. A false issue was raised, and a false im pression will be produced. It will be assumed that au those who opposed the grant which is to be used against Bishop Colenso are on his side ; whereas they voted entirely upon the question of the Royal supremacy. Hitherto this society has been fortunate enough to preserve a platform on which men of all schools in the Church could take their places without risk of unseemly strife. Partisans of various factions are now rejoicing in the prospect of destroying this neutrality. THE 14 A. P. U. C." Dr. F. G. Lee, who has just resigned his post of secretary to the Association for the Promotion, of the Unity of Christendom, has published a report detailing the progress of the association. It was formed in tie autumn of 107. AINI b thelolluthag yeai it had 678 members enrolled. Since tnek 12,009 have been added. Of the 12,684 members of the society, 1,881 b e l ong t o th e Roman Catholic Church in various countries, 685 are Orientals, 92 are attached to uncertain or miscellaneous com munities, whose names the secretary was unwilling to take upon himself to decline, and 10,026 belong to the Church of England and other churches in com munion with the same . Th e names h ave b een obtained by a systematic circulation of the formal prospectus of the association in English, Latin, French, German, Spanish, and Italian. Dr. Lee says : "It has been the secretary's honour and privilege to correspond with a large number of distinguished Catholics of many rites, whose private letters to himself officially have been carefully preserved, as they may in future throw considerable light on the great movement for effect ing corporate re-union, which the late Cardinal Wiseman theoretically inaugurated in 1841, and which Jae Association for Promoting the Unity of Christendom first put in practical shape in 1857." The average annual expenses have been only about £7O. In that rcspc:ct, at all events, the "A.P. U. C." is a model which other societies would do well . to follow. It might be well also for Mr. Kyle to ask himself if the promotion of union is not a fitter object for Christians than "barking " at and "biting" those who differ from you, which, according to him, is the object of the Church Association. A HERO. We co not remember having read of any greater instance of courage than that of Mr. de Saumarez, which has been mentioned in some of the papers. This young officer, who is sub-lieutenant of the Myrmidon, finding that a man had fallen overboard, jumped into the sea after him. "It was a very dark night. He had a strong current of from three to four knots an hour running. The man struggled a good deal, and he had to support him with one hand while he splashed with the other to frighten the sharks, of which a great number had been seen round the ship during the day." Fancy the situa tion : a dark night, a strong current, a man laying hold of his deliverer, and nearly pulling him down in his grip for life, and—worst of all—a sea swarming with sharks ; and then say if any courage can exceed this. It has been said that greater love hath no man than that he should lay down his life for his friend ; but this seaman does not seem to have been even that. Surely the Victoria Cross or the Albert Medal ought to reward such gallant conduct as this. FOREIGN NOTES. THE THRONE OF SPAIN. The Spaniards are beginning to think it high time that the question of a successor to Queen Isabella was fairly opened. General Prim's letter to the Gaulois pronounces in favour of a monarchy—a decision which he has supple mented by public declarations. The exclusion of the Democrats from office further shews the tide of public opinion. The Nation, of Madrid, the organ of The Pro gressists, declares for a monarchy, and puts forth the Duke of Edinburgh as the most probable choice of the people. This is important, for the Progressist party shares supremo power only with the Liberal Union, and its decision will go far to settle the question. The Star thinks the letter addressed by General Prim to Prince Napoleon points to another possible solution of this difficulty. Though the extraordinary and romantic rise of the present Emperor has obscured the fortunes of his cousin, his abilities are great and his integrity undoubted. But for the coup d'etat Prince Napoleon would have risen to a high place in the service of the Republic. He never betrayed a public trust for his own advantage. His relations with the French Republicans are close and constant. In the Revolutionary Assembly of 1843 he was one of the most conspicuous leaders of the " Reds';" and under the existing Imperial regime he has often been held " suspect" for his presumed coquetry with the Republican party and his undisguised condem nation of the absolutist theories of the Second Empire. The Star thinks the French Emperor would not oppose the elevation of his cousin. The Lit/ale, however, speaks of the candidature as an impossibility. DISARMAMENT. La France, in a carefully-worded article, denies the report that the Emperor Napoleon is drawing up another Congress project, with the view of bringing about a "general alliance and disarmament." The Liberte says the report was first circulated by some indiscreet gentleman who dined with his Imperial Majesty. If then, it asks, the report is not true, what can we think of the individual who first spread it ? But if the Emperor, by a sudden stretch of confidence, allowed the secrets of his thoughts to escape, what is the value of the denial of La France? Certainly, the Emperor ought to be quick with this mani festo, if he means to issue it. The political torpor of the recess will soon cease : the Prussian Parliament opens on the 4th of November. The Times Berlin correspondent thinks there is some foundation for the intelligence. The ol.ject of the proposed congress would be in part to prescribe the number of men which each nation should have in arms—at least, so says the Journal de Paris. If this be the Emperor's plan, he will decidedly save his credit by not allowing it to go further. GERMANY. Lome of the Prussian journals announce that a second naval and military port in the Baltic is about to be constructed oh the Isle of ltilgen. There is much reason to doubt this statement. The project was formed before the acquisition of Kiel, but it has been abandoned since. Prussia already possesses Kiel, Dantzig, and Stettin on the Baltic, and is constructing a first-class establishment at Jande, on the North Sea. Money only is required to make her a great naval power. AMERICA. In this country the news of the Pennsylvanian and Ohio elections is universally accepted, even by the Standard and the Globe, as deciding the Presidential contest. Nobody puts forth a shadow of hope for Mr. Seymour. Mr. Reverdy Johnson has fallen into serious discredit by his temperate conduct in England. Many of the American journals use very strong language, as is their wont, and even the more moderate papers condemn the Ambassador. The Nation says that "when Mr. Johnson loads Lord Wharncliffe and Mr. Roebuck in public with expressions of personal esteem, he puts himself in a position more false 642 the French Minister would put himself in if he appeared in public on terms of intimacy with Mr. Kinglake, or than the Papal Nuncio if he were to pass his evenLngs with M. Ernest Itaan—that is, he offends, not simply against the political feelings of the American people, but against the European standard of diplomatic propriety." An Alabama paper has the inexpressible pleasure to make the following announcement :—" Five notoriously bad negroes were found swinging by the neck to trees in the woods of Colbert County a few days since. They had been guilty of threatening the whites." It is not surprising that more troops have been asked for in this State. THE EARTHQUAKE IN SOUTH AMERICA. The news by the West India mail affords little more than a confirmation of details previously received. In Ecuador 13,000 lives, out of a population of 16,000, were lost at Ibarra. Of 10,000 at Otavalo, between 6,000 and 7,000 perished. The loss of life in the province of Imbabura is estimated at not less than 40,000. NEW ZEALAND. A number of official reports were presented to the Governor of New Zealand on his arrival in the colony. They contain facts of much interest bearing upon the disaffection amongst the Maories. The great majority in the North of Auckland are disinclined to take up arms, partly because industrial pursuits are found more profitable, and partly through fear of the Southern natives. In other districts the feeling of the Maories towards the colonists is described as being very friendly. But the officials in portions of the South fear that much time will elapse before general peace prevails. The natives in these districts are partial to guerilla war fare, and have not, it appears, acquired those habits of industry which keep the Maories of the North quiet; But the comforts enjoyed by the peaceable natives are begin ning to he appreciated by the more warlike tribes, who do no', comprehend why they should be starved, amongst the hills and swamps, whilst their brethren are well-to-dot THE LATE SHIPWRECK ON THE COAST OF DORSET.—It. will be remembered that on the 25th ultimo a distressing shipwreck took place off Kimmeridge Ledge, the schooner Liberty, of Portsmouth, foundering, when all hands perished. The National Lifeboat Institution has a lifeboat at Chapman's Pool, which, like the small coastguard lifeboat at Kimmeridge, failed entirely to get out to the schooner owing to the force of the wind and sea, which were unusually heavy on that day. Capt. J. B. Ward, R.N., the inspector of lifeboats of the National Lifeboat Institution, has just visited the locality with the view to the society stationing a lifeboat at Kimmeridge, if practicable. It appears that ho is st it of opinion that Chap man's Pool is the most suitable place of the two for a lifeboat station, if one boat only should be placed in that locality. He recommends, however, that a small life boat should be placed at Kimmeridge Bay at the opposite side to where the coastguard lifeboat is stationed. It should, nevertheless, be mentioned that no loss of life has occurred for a very long period to vessels getting on shore in the neighbourhood of Kimmeridge. The schooner Liberty, above referred to, did not strike the ground at all, but sunk in deep water from having been sent to sea in an unseaworthy state. Capt. Murdoch, Royal Artillery, and Lieut. Rogers, 102 d Fusiliers, have completed a course of six months' training at the Military Gymnasium, Aldershott, and received certificates of qualification for gymuttotio instructors, THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLooz. NOTICE. The Third Edition of " The Sun " of last Evening, con taining the Latest Betting, and Races at Chelmsford and Cheltenham, was published in time for delivery in town at 7.15 p.m. THE REVOLUTION IN SPAIN. (REUTER'S TELEGRAM.) PARIS, Oct, 15. The Gaitlois of this evening publishes a letter from General Prim, in which he denies the statement that he had been to Pontain blean to solicit an audience of the Emperor, and likewise that he had received 600,000 thalers from Prussia. General Prim says in his letter that Spain emancipated herself by means of her own resources and by the blood of her own children. The Madrid correspondent of the Gutduis asserts that an Eng!ish firm has offered to furnish Spain with a loan of 500 million francs at an interest of 5 per cent. sroaTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day.
