U 1 1 , 1 ,9 8' -C • -p-N• LOIVDON, SATURDAY, OCT. 10, 1868. Mr. GLADSTONE'S address has at last appeared, and is a very characteristic one taken altogether. The right hon. gentleman evidently feels that he is deeply injured, and has many wrongs to complain of, hut his language is more moderate than might be expected under the circumstances, and contrasts favourably with his celebrated speech at St. Helen's at the outset of the electioneering campaign. After all the talk there has been about Mr. GLADSTONE'S seeking new quarters, it appears that he does not contemplate a move, but will solicit the suffrages of the electors of the South-Western district of Lan cashire. First of all, he acknowledges the " pecu liar kindness he received from them three years ago when he was elected under rather unusual circum stances." He then proceeds to remark upon the leform Bill which the RUSSELL Government in , xoduced to the House of Comnymi, and althougi that now belongs to the past as much as if ten years had gone by since its first appearance, it is not unna tural that some reference should be made to it by one who had so much to do with it as the right hon. gentleman, and that he should advert to it when ad dressing his constituency for the first time since his retirement from office. He explains the failure of the scheme in the interpretation he himself puts upon it, when he says that they extended the fran chise in a manner " studiously limited." It was that very limitation which aroused suspicions, and the jealousy they so sedulously sought to disarm was kindled by the appearance of a double entendre in the affair. By resignation the Government of Lord RUSSELL believed that they would best secure the triumph of Reform, but that they desired the Conservatives to secure that triumph is another thing ; and certainly the course pursued by Mr. GLADSTONE and his followers since has not sub stantiated it. It is really too bad of the right hon. gentleman to blow hot and cold at once ; he will neither praise heartily nor condemn in toto, but calls the measure " unequal" at one moment, and the next declares that that intro duced by the Government was amended and almost transformed "by the Opposition." But this is not quite the true explanation of matters, because it was only by the direct interposition of his own followers that Mr. GLADSTONE was prevented from destroying the measure altogether, and ever afterwards he aimed a side blow at it, which the partial defection of his own supporters prevented from taking effect. Besides, Mr. GLADSTONE gives hints that the new House will soon alter the ob noxious feature of the bill, and thus again shows his jealousy at his opponents having been more successful than himself. Of course something must be said about expen diture, and accordingly the right hon. gentleman expresses a hope that the interest of the newly enfranchised classes may operate to bring about a a change in this respect. Here, again, we must complain of Mr. GLADSTONE'S want of straightforwardness. The answers he has already received on this subject are either true or not. If the first, why ignore them and reiterate the charges they repel; if false, why not say so in a bold manner, and prove how he denies them? All that the electors of South Lancashire are told is that the present Government have spent three millions more than they ought, and he draws a veil over the shortcomings of their predecessors which led them to do so. It is a bad service to render his party to fight its battles in the language of equivocation ; and if put to the proof, he would be puzzled to show how the Ministry could have escaped condemnation had they not increased the expenditure. After mentioning some subjects of interest, and regretting the impossibility to touch upon all, Mr. GLADSTONE concludes his address by referring to the Irish Church question. The present House of Commons has been called upon four times to suspend the Act for securing personal liberty in Ireland, and this naturally calls for reflecaou ; but it must be remembered that Mr. GLADSTONE was in office when the first proposal was made ; and, therefore, the present Administra tion merely followed in the steps of their predeces sors in renewing it. It is surely a mistaken policy for the leader of a party to give in to disaffection, asit were, and to indicate that the actual temper of some of the people towards the Throne and Go vernment demand care, &c. This is true in the abstract, but what is meant is that some sacri fices n•ust be made to Fenianism. We are all familiar with Mr. GLADSTONE'S arguments on the subject of the Irish Church disestablishment, and although this time last year he did not utter a syllable that could induce any one to prophesy his present course, he has now arrived at the con clusion that no time must now be lost. It is no new thing, however, to find that times have changed, and that Mr. GLADSTONE has changed with them. After being years and years in office, the trusted representative of his party, the leader of the House of Commons, the weighty adviser in the Cabinet, and all this time quiescent on the subject, and indeed so recently as at the last election declaring that in his time he might not have to discuss the propriety of the disestablish ment of the Irish Church, Mr. GLADSTONE now discovers that it is a " national, almost world-wide reproach, and a condition indispensable to the suc cess of every effort to secure the peace and contentment of the country." He concludes by seeking to throw upon the Government the onus of desiring to maintain the Irish Church as it is, which they have certainly never declared to be their wish, and of despising the new revelations of the Royal Commissioners, which is likewise a suggestion of his own exuberant imagination. The policy of the Opposition is, he declares, carried out by those who do not shrink from its avowal , but with all this he does not yet explain what is to be done with the funds when diverted from their pre sent form. All that can be learned is that the new Government are to decide upon that point, and the whole spirit of this address indicates that nothing but a speedy installation of that Government can ' coincide with the prosperity of the country. The arrival of the China from New York, on the 30th ult., brings us no very exciting intelligence, but it is evident that the same unsettled feeling continues in the Southern States. The negroes are not gaining in favour, the whites appearing to have had quite enough of association with them on equal terms. The Georgia Senate has tabled a bill declaring negroes ineligible to hold office, and has rejected the bill securing equality of rights for whites and blacks in public places and public con veyances. This does not show a very friendly feeling towards the black man, whose mistaken par tisans have forced him into positions for which he is naturally unfitted, and have thus lost him more than he could ever gain by such a course. In Louisiana a bill establishing equal rights of colour has been vetoed by the Governor, on the ground that it was superfluous legislation ; and as the veto was sustained by the House we may presume that the enthusiasm for the black man is dying out in that State. Equal rights before the law should be guaranteed to the negro in every State, but when this is once done the rest may be left to time. It is impossible to force a social equality upon those who are naturally unequal, whose tastes, habits, manners, and feelings are altogether distinct. There is no more sympathy between the active, quick-witted, enterprising Ame rican and the lazy, self-indulgent negro than be tween the inhabitants of two different spheres ; and enforced equality and constant association will only produce irritation instead of fostering kindliness and interest. The perplexity about the threatened disturbances continues, and while on the one hand appeals are constantly made to Washington for assistance, on the other they are as constantly contradicted and explained away. Thus the Alabama Delegation formally presented a memorial from the State Legislature to the PRESIDENT asking for the aid of the national troops to preserve peace. The Governor accompanied the delegation, but not with the view of supporting their appeal, for be declared that he could enforce the laws without the aid of Federal force. The PRESIDENT got out of the difficulty by assur ing the delegation that General MEADE should dispose h'• troops so as to be ready to aid the civil authorities if necessity should arise. In Virginia and Mississippi the leading Democrats have deter mined to hold a Presidential election, and to demand, under the Constitution, that their votes should be counted. This, as we know, is opposed to the provisions of the Re construction Act, but in the altered state of public feeling it is possible that the demand may be conceded. The condition of the national finances does less and less credit to Radical management, and is ill calculated to restore the public confidenee in their administration of affairs. Mr. DELMAR, Director of the Bureau of Statistics, in answer to inquiiies from N ew York merchants, has just furnished an estimate, placing the national expenditure of the fiscal year ending June next at $176,000,000, and the receipts at 321,000,000. We may hope long before Mid summer to see a change in the spirit of the Govern ment. Such an estimate alone ought to convince the commercial and mercantile interests of the mad ness of continuing the present policy towards the South. Very busy are the M.P.'s, present and prospec tive, and very numerous are the meetings and ad dresses constantly going forward. It is amusing to contrast two or three of the speeches made by rivals in the field, and to see white become black, or black white, according to the side from which a question is regarded, like the old fable of the two knights, who looke I at the shield from opposite sides, and fought a battle royal in consequence. Sir HENRY HOARE tolls the Chelsea electors that the Conser vative Government has done nothing whatever but spend English money. Mr. GREAVES, at War wick, accuses the Liberal Government of having left the defences of the country in an inefficient state, and so increased the expen diture. Mr. OVEREND, Q.C., wiser still, promises the constituency of East Derbyshire that he will if elected, watch the expenditure of every Govern ment which may be in power that unnecessary extravagance may be prevented. The Hon. A. WALsri is prepared "to resist to the utmost" the Liberal attack on those institutions " which the wisdom and courage of our ancestors have be queathed to us ;" while Mr. SCHOMBERG is assuring the electors of North Wilts that the Whigs have " preserved the British Constitution, which, if left to Tory apathy and procrastination, would have suc cumbed and induced a Republic." Who shall decide when doctors disagree. But so long as the choice of the electors is left free and unfettered, all such diffe rences are really to the public gain. In a Parlia ment like our own we want representatives of the most opposite opinions, men of all shades of party, and holding every sort of view in matters religious, political, and social. By such means we secure a full and unfettered discusion of every great question effecting the main body of the people. Argument, and fact, and illustration meet and answer each other until when some great political problem has been thoroughly debated and discussed session after session. The public are then familiar with it in all its branches. When the final decision is arrived at, although there are always some malcontents and critics, there is a general feeling that it has been fairly decided, and a step thus taken has seldom to be re, THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 10, 1868. traced. Our Reforms may not always be suffi ciently comprehensive ; our changes may be partial and incomplete, but our progress, though slow, is sure, and in none of the great questions of the age has it been found necessary to reverse the na tional verdict. Like the tides of the sea, there is always a counter form at work to prevent excessive action or reaction. The party of progress talks largely, but it is kept in check by the caution and dread of innovation of the opposite side ; the party of reaction is drawn on by the energy of its adversaries until the Tory of 1830 is transformed into the Libe ral Conservative of 1868. Though both parties wrangle about their claims to the merit of preserving the Constitution, it is at least evident that i❑ spite of all threatened attacks it is in little danger from either. The Spanish people cannot complain of lack of energy on the part of their new advisers. Mar shal SERRA.I , IO and General PRIM have soon made a Cabinet, the post of President being taken by the Marshal, and that of Minister of War by General PRIM. Admiral TORETE is the Minister of Ma rine. The declaration male by the Central Junta was in favour ;of complete liberty— " civil, political and religious." So far all is carried on in the spirit of progress, and so great are the changes indicated, that it is enough to sur prise one that Spain should have been so long be hind the other nations of Europe in all that called for vigour and energy. The unanimity which pre vails is also surprising, and is another earnest of success to all who can appreciate the real meaning of the situation. General PRIM'S speech to the people upon his arrival in Madrid was full of pro mise, and already that promise has been partly realised in the success which has attended the formation of the New Cabinet. The agreement between himself and SERRANO, to which he emphatically alluded, has been fully proved, and some speculations are afloat in the French papers as to the likelihood of Prince ALFRED of England being the future ruler of Spain ; but these prove nothing so much as the failure of those whose desires have been so sedulously put forth when there was no chance, and no w that there is seem to have vanished into thin air. The French semi-official organs are not pleased with the new regime, and would prefer any state of things to a Republic. The worst of all therefore in their estimation, it may be inferred, is the decorum which prevails—very different to the confusion which flourished in France on similar occasions. The only reason is that the French desired to have a change, but were not particular what it was ; while the Spanish people have made up their minds not only what is to be changed, but what is to remain also, in the Constitution of the State. LATEST INTELL IGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) SPAIN. MADRID, Oct. 9, 8 p.m. The Secretary of the ex-Prime Minister, Gonzales Bravo, has been dangerously wounded by the mob in the street. General Prim made a speech from the balcony of his house blaming this outrage, and strongly recom mending the people to forget byegone wrongs, and said that former servants of the Crown ought rather to be spared than massacred. The leaders of the Democratic party have agreed to give the present Ministry their entire support, provided it should continue in favour of a Demo cratic solution of the pending questions.

S.:veral commercial firms in different parts of the North German Confederation have petitioned the Chancellor to despatch some men of war to the Spanish coast and Cuba for the protection of the interests of North German traders. The reason of this petition is said to be that much produce of the Confederation, chiefly from Sil es i a , S axony , Thu ringia, and the Rhenish provinces is being exported to Spain and to her transatlantic colonies. Special stress is also laid upon the fact that a number of German firms, established at the seaports of Barce lona and Malaga, are interested. RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 9.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, FRIDAY, October 9, The creation of impossible candidatures for the vacant throne in the south is becoming, as might be expected, a favourite amusement here. After having gone through the ordinary list without result, the inventors of canards have turned :their eyes to Brazil, and conclude that the Emperor of that eminently liberal country will be the chosen man. A prince of the House of Hohenzollern- Sigrnaringen is also mentioned. But, in fact, never was there apparently so hopeless a problem as that of the Spanish succession. Nobody is able to throw the least light on the subject. I have been told that an aide-de-camp of Marshal Serrano has been received at Biarritz. The Emperor is said to have declared to the envoy his positive intention not to interfere in any way with the course of events in Spain. Ho would he ready to accept the Government which might be created by the will of the Spanish people, freely manifested. This is under reserve. However ready the Emperor may be to submit to " the logic of facts," there can be no doubt that the facts in this case are thoroughly disagreeable. The Spanish outbreak is, I doubt not, considered a great nuisance in high places here. The Chevalier Nigra;the Italian Ambassador at Pads, is again the subject of speculation. It is said that he will depart en conge as soon as the Emperor returns to Paris, and it is thought that he will not return, save only to present his letters of recall. The Independance Beige says it is certain that the Chevalier finds himself in a false position. He is dispirited by his want of success in diplo matic matters and his little influence at the Imperial Court. The official papers very energetically deny the report that an interview took place between M. de Moustier and Cretzulesco, previous to the departure of the latter for Bucharest, and particularly that the French Minister gave a promise that Bulgarian projects would receive material aid from France. These denials may be true, without affecting the possibility of French interference in the East. All the diplomatic business between the Imperial Government and that of Moldo-Wallachia is managed by the French agent at Bucharest. Count de Goltz, whose health has materially improved by his stay at Fontainebleau, is, it is announced, about to proceed to the South of France or to Italy for the winter, on the advice of his physicians. The Figaro says that, in buying the famous vineyard of the Chateau Laffitte for £160,000, Baron Rothschild only acted for Seiior Marfori. In commercial circles it is reported that an arrangement will be concluded between the Credit Foncier of Paris and the Austrian Credit Foncier for the construction of some railways in Austria. The fine weather has come to an end. The first symp• torn of winter, in the shape of a white frost, made its appearance yesterday. THE WEATITEB TABLE.-THIS DAY. METEOROLOGICAL REPORTS.

A great increase in barometrical pressure has taken place at northern stations, whilst in the S. a diminution has occurred : in the centre of England a very slight change is observed, and pressures this morning are generally uniform over the British Isles. Tempera ture has diminished, and is somewhat low in the north. South westerly winds prevailed yesterday, and were fresh at the entrance of the English Channel. Winds are now generally light and vari able. Rain has fallen in the S.W. of England. On our S. and E. coasts fog and mist are reported, and in the N. weather is fine, The imputation that Prussia was at the bottom of the Spanish Revolution, and that Prussian gold was a material aid to its success, has caused great indignation amongst the Germans. But the belief that the affair was fostered by Bismarck to embarrass France is not altogether dis sipated by the denials of the Prussian journals. The John Bull palpably puts faith in the report. It has been informed, "by a person whose communciations have always been strictly accurate," that one of Bismarck's agents alone conveyed five millions of reals (250,000) into Spain for the use of the Liberals. Certainly the money must have come from some quarter, for there was no lack of the sinews of war, whilst none of the conspirators was in a position to furnish them. There can be no doubt the revolution in Spain has created the most intense excitement throughout Italy. The relations between the countries were so numerous, that every party in the Peninsula has lost or gained some thing by the change. The Liberals, of course, are enthu siastic. The Ultramontanes are naturally despondent at the prospect of the loss of their chief stronghold. A corre spondent of the Standard writes : " The support of France is considered by the Papal Government as purely casual, and based solely upon dynastical interests, as the First Empire proved too well. So that the cardinals begin to think that soon they will be a thing of the past. They whisper that the (Ecumenic Council, upon which so many hopes had been built, will prove an utter failure." Finally, the dethroning of the Bourbons in Spain is the last blow to the Neapolitan branch. The hopes cherished at the Farnese Palace are utterly dissipated. In systematically writing against the designs of France in the East for the purpose of gaining an opportunity to attack Germany, it appears that the Berlin correspondent of the Times merely follows the example of the Prussian press generally. Most of the North German papers agree that the Bulgarian bands were organised by agents connected with the war party in the French Cabinet, The object is, of course, represented to be the forment ing of a quarrel between Russia and Turkey, so as to leave Western Europe free. It is asserted that when Prince Napoleon visited Bucharest, a short time ago, an address praying for French assistance against Turkey was presented to him by the Bulgarian residents in that city. This petition was presented with the greatest secresy. The Times correspondent says the break-up in Spain caused the postponement of the entire scheme. The Army and Navy Gazette, on the other hand, thinks that Prussia is now desirous of war ; otherwise, why is not the Treaty of Prague fully carried out? "It is scarcely possible to understand how Prussia can find a pretext to justify further delay, unless she feels it desi rable to consolidate her power by a war with France." It may be added, that whatever may be the value of these conflicting statements, it is not the prevalent opinion that the initiative will be taken by Prussia. Some of the recent Czech demonstrations in Bohemia nave been of a serious character. On one occasion 20,000 people were gathered together near Prague, without any announcement by the press, and in spite of a heavy rain. A civil officer summoned the meeting to disperse, but in vain. Shortly afterwards a strong column of infantry, armed with breechloaders, arrived on the spot. The order was given to charge, but instead of giving way the crowd advanced, and a conflict was feared. The mob, however, dispersed, but only to assemble in another place, and afterwards in a third. Other meetings were not dis persed without bloodshed. The Sikle thinks the malcon tents are so strong that the acquisition of equal ri;hts with the rest of the empire can be only a question of time. The retirement of Sir William Heathcote appears to have been fully expected by the Conservative party. They have already fixed upon his successor. The Right Hon. J. R. Mowbray, now M.P. for Durham, Judge- Advocate-General in the present and last Conservative Administrations, and chairman of Mr. Hardy's election committee in 1865. Mr. Mowbray, whose original name is Cornish, graduated at Oxford in 1836, when he took a second class. He has represented Durham since 1853, and his seat is now threatened. Mr. Mowbray is the treasurer of the S. P. G. Society. The Army and Navy Gazette says that the reports which have been current concerning army reduction next year are undeserving of serious attention. The authorities have not yet come to consider any of the arrangements regard ing the strength and the cost of the army next year. The Secretary of State for War is about to contract for 300 iron shields. • The Small Arms Committee will shortly make their report. It will b 9 4, favour eithersi the Henry or ,the Martini ride.: r '~CI" " 4 BPIRIT Or THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. fir. Disraeli's long delay in issuing his address, lays the Saturday Review, had not unnaturally excited a general expectation of some ingenious device for extricating his party from an untenable position ; but of all the pro. bable events which are said never to happen, anticipated surprises are followed by the most inevitable disappoint. went. If the Conservative party is astonished on the present occasion, it can only admire the consistency and political orthodoxy of its resolute leader. Instead of apologising or shifting his ground, Mr. Disraeli boldly claims the gratitude of the country for the past services of his Government, and challenges unbounded confidence for the future. To his party he presents him self with perfect right as the legitimate successor of Lord Derby, whose policy bad, in fact, long been decided by his daring and versatile lieutenant. The Buckingham shire liturgy contains no form of political confession. It is as a virtuous and injured party, possessed by the deepest convictions, that the Conservatives will stand or fall at the impending election. Candidly acknowledging that the members of the Church are in a minority in Ireland, Mr. Disraeli solemnly replies that, if a local instead of an imperial gauge is adopted, the religious integrity of the community will soon be frittered away. Some years ago Mr. Disraeli declared in Parliament that the maintenance of the Pope's temporal power was a fundamental maxim of English policy. He now warns his countrymen that the fall of the Church would place the nation at the mercy of a foreign prince who would be the residuary heir of transient philosophers and sects. No man knows better than Mr. Disraeli that Catholic and Protestant Churches alike are menaced by an enemy far more formidable than Rome ; but if the Pope is destined to be the victor in the war of religious sects, the triumph will belong, not to the petty Italian potentate, but to the head of the Latin Church. The statesmanwho has proclaimed the necessity of maintaining the Roman principality is scarcely entitled to complain that its sovereign is a foreign prince. The victory will fall "to that Power with whose tradition, learning, discipline, and organisation our Church alone has hitherto been able to cope, and that, too, only when sup. ported by a determined and devoted people." With this marvellous flourish the great performer modestly retires, leaving his audience to recover their self-possession at leisure. The Spectator grants that Mr. Disraeli has made two very clever ecclesiastical appointments—good for him, and one of them certainly good for the country—appointments that will gain some little strength for his Administration, and -gain him much credit from impartial critics. The best, as well as the most important, is the appointment of the eloquent Dean of Cork, Dr. Magee, to the vacant see of Peterborough ; the other, which is more of a party ap pointment (though Dr. Magee, in fighting so stoutly for the Irish Establishment, has, of course, done service to the Administration), is that of Dr. Mansel to the deanery of St. Paul's, vacant by the death of Dean Milman. The late Bishop of Peterborough, Dr. Jenne, was one of the most perfect representatives of what has been called the hard Church—the Church which stiffens its back against all sorts of heresy, and has neither sympathy with nor insight into the infinite shades of religious difficulty and the multiform wants of our modern intellectual world and the man who succeeds him, Dr. Magee, has only luite lately shewn by his sermon before the British Asso ciation at Norwich, what all who knew him were already aware of, that few better representatives could be chosen of the widest and most Catholic Christianity of the day, the Christianity which, without abating anything of piritual depth and fervour, yet recognises that it must satisfy fully the profoundest intellects as well as the warmest hearts of our age, if it is to direct the future at all. We, for our parts feel no sympathy whatever for Professor Mansel's line of thought, which we believe to be at the very opposite pole from that of the only Christian teaching which has ever gained and led the hearts of the people. But we do not on that account in the least grumble at Professor Mansel's promotion. He is a very sincere Churchman, as well as a very sincere Conservative. His character is high, and his intellect is still in its full vigour, and no one school of the Church has any right to a monopoly of influence. On the whole, no one can fairly object to the elevation of Professor Mansel, while we sincerely rejoice in the elevation of Dr. Magee. The Imperial Review thinks we must expect that before very long the question of Irish land tenure will be a prominent parliamentary question, threatening the stability of Cabinets, forming the basis or proving the stumbling-block of political combinations, and succeeding to the place of Reform or the Established Church of freland, as the one great topic before the Parliament and the country. The Ministry have already expressed their views with reference to the subject of land-tenure. If they have occasion to bring forward a bill relating to landlord and tenant, their course may be within certain limits predicted. They will keep clear, at all events, of the revolutionary plans advocated by some Irish agitators and some specula tive Englishmen. But what will be tl.e course of the Opposition ? Do they hold with the assertion thrown out at the Social Science Congress, that the time for such a bill as Mr. Fortescue's was gone by ? Are they prepared to adopt, as in other cases, some totally new course, for which we shall be told " the time has come ?" Mr. Glad stone's career, unhappily, prevents our arguing from his past to his future opinions. Lately, he has said nothing un this subject. He assured Mr. Finlen's deputation that besides persevering in his attack on the Church he would endeavour to procure for Ireland an improved land tenure. This may be anything between Lord Mayo's bill and the proposals of Mr. Mill's pamphlet. He may go with Mr. Isaac Butt, he may agree with Mr. Maguire, he may adopt the plan of Mr. Bright. If he has a conscientious conviction on the subject, surely a candidate for the Pre miership should be called upon clearly to enunciate that conviction. The Convocation of the Province of Canterbury was formally prorogued yesterday by Sir Travers Twiss, the Vicar General, by commission from the Archbishop, until Friday, November the 27th, but there will not, of course, be any meeting for the despatch of business on that day—in fact, the Lower House of Convocation, like the House of Commons, is virtually dissolved. RAPID GROWTH OF TOWNS.— A Bristol paper contains the following :—" The rapidity with which the lately green fields of our suburbs are being covered with comfortable houses is something akin to the marvellous. Streets of over 200 dwellings now are tenanted where two years since the children from the city ran to gather the early daisy and buttercup. We are credibly informed that, in addition to the great number of buildings already erected on Pile-hill and at Knowle, some 1,700 more will shortly be erected." It is announced that the Bishop of Capetown sailed yesterday morning for his South African dio cese, Mr. Macrorie, the Bishop designate for Natal, being still unconsecrated. It is understood also that the Bishop has failed to obtain any nomination from the Government to the Deanery of Capetown. Before his de parture his lordship informed his friends that he had lodged an appeal against the late judgments in favour of Bishop Colenso, and that ho bad the authority of Sir Roundell Palmer for believing that he should succeed. The appeal cannot be heard until January. A most astonishing and serious charge against a man ufacturer is under investigation at the Manchester City Police Court, the case having been opened on Thursday. Mr. O. Ellis, a spinner and manufacturer, of Silcoates, near Wakefield, was charged with having attempted to set fire to the warehouse of Mr. Mullan, at 31, Chorlton-street, Manchester, on the 17th ult., and with having threatened to shoot a boy in charge of the warehouse if he should raise an alarm. The boy, in stating these facts to the police, said that the prisoner produced a box of matches and deliberately set fire to the goods in various parts of the warehouse. The place, it appears, was not damaged, but the ends of some pieces of cloth were found burned. The prisoner, who denied the charge, was remanded for a week under heavy bail. THE COUNTESS OF DERIVENTWATER.—Very little worthy of note took place on Thursday in connection with the remarkable claim to Dilston Castle and estatesf The Countess remained encamped on the road, and the oppo sition camp still retained its former position. Both are gradually assuming a more permanent character. The camp occupied by the Countess has been covered anew by strong tarpaulin, kindly supplied by a gentleman belonging to Winlaton, whilst that of the men in the em- ployment of Mr.. Grey (or rather the Admiralty) has also been renovated so as to better withstand the cold and rain. A large number of persons visited the interesting though painful scene during the day, but none were allowed to see her ladyship, however persistent their appeals for admission. Of course, Mrs. Carr, of Shorncliffe, who has been most attentive all along;entered the tent, as usual, in the discharge of her kind and much•needed services to the Countess. We regret that her ladyship still suffers very much from cold and want of rest. For about a week she has not been outside the diminutive tent, and as a conse quence she has during the whole of that time been occupying a crouching and painful position. Neither suffering, threats, nor the earnest entreaties of her friends induce her to review her decision or to forego her aim. Sir John Swinburne, Bart., a distant relative of her lady. ship, has in vain tried to prevail on her to accompany him to his residence and take up her abode there. Her medical adviser has unsuccessfully endeavoured to per suade her to study her health and give up living in tents. Cold nights and wet days have also done their utmost to induce her ladyship to seek more comfortable quarters, but their eloquence has likewise been con temptuously disregarded. Her enemies have taunted her and called her insane, and held threats over her head, but she has proved indifferent alike to their words and cicOo.

The Rightficl Heir is now being performed nightlY to crowded houses, and has by this time securely taken its position side by side with the three gre at acting plays by the same dramatist—" Mon* "Richelieu," and " The Lady of Lyons." Est evening the new and startling scen i c e ff ec t, °rig' nally intended to have been produced on the firs t night, was at length brought before th e public to the great enhancement of the n!" ready immense attraction of this romantic and thoroughly legitimate drama. The spectacl e presented to view by the stupendous cliffs towering aloft into the welkin was magnificent. The meet" ing of the two brothers here, terminates with the climbing of Vyvyan to one of the loftiest aclivittee, pursued by Lord Beaufort, sword in hand. Ther e ' from one of the j u tti ng roc k s t h e f ormer i s hurled over the brink of the giddy precipice, in his b i l l grasping at a withe re d t ree , w hi c h b en d s and breaks under his weight, Vyvyan thereupon drop' ping into the abyss. The actual distance fallen through by Mr. Bandmann in this extraordinary sce ne is, we believe, one of from twenty to thirty feet, th e effect being almost appalling. Immediately aft er the hero has disappeared down the gorge, upon the s brink of which Lo r d B eau f or t stan d s para l yse d Wit' horror, as the cuitain descends at the close of t he fourth act, the war-ship of the apparen ti !, doomed hero is seen gliding out in full ea! into the offing.
