Election addresses are pouring in on all sides, and if there is little variety in them, at any rate we can compare the different styles and various views of the rival candidates. Mr. HOWARD RUSSELL and Mr. FREAKE have come forward for the borough of Chelsea, in compliance with a requisition. Mr. RUSSELL declares his willingness to remedy any defect that may be found to exist in the present system in Ireland, without, however, going so far as to disestablish the Irish Church altogether. At the same time, he declares himself to be an ardent friend of civil and religious liberty, and announces his political tenets to be those of a Conservative on " independent Liberal principles." Her MA JESTY'S Government, who have " had the courage to confer the franchise on those whom their oppo nents would not trust, " d!s2rve, he reasonably says, the gratitude and coafidence of the c)mitry, and he will support them against a combination of disappointed parties, who are only united in their desire for (dice." In proceeding to enumerate the doings of her MAJESTY'S Ministers,:he men tioned the foreign policy they have 5) ably fol lowed, the defences of the country they have put upon a proper footing, and the greatly improved state of Ireland, which was handed to them with its prisons full, and the powers of the Suspension Act in full force. "In lieu of the present Govern ment I see only a Coalition, such as England does not love." Mr. FREAKE has not taken an active part in politics, but professes his willingness to serve the best interests of the country whenever he can most effectually do so, and his views on various questions seem to be mud ones. Education he highly prizes, but even its blessings ate not, he wisely declares, to be brought about by a cmnpul sory mode of procedure. The improvement of the dwellings of the poor is a subject that earn estly calls for the attention of the Legislature, and it is satisfactory to find it alluded to in an address to a new constituency. Labour and capital are at present too often unfortunately found to be antagonistic when they should be united on friendly terms, each for the interest and advancement of the other, and to adjast these difficulties is another task for the new Parliament. lii fact the time taken up by the discussion of Reform, and the many false starts made in the venture, necessarily prevented all these important matters being con sidered before, hut no more delays must be allowed to occur, or the disappointment of the community will be great, mingled, we may add, with some feelings of indignation. Mr. CUBITT, in his address to the electors of West Surrey, refers to the general success which has distinguished the efforts of the Government in contradistinction to the efforts of their predecessors. In the midst of " immense difficul ties" they have passed a Reform Bill of a most liberal tendency and a most comprehensive charac ter, their foreign policy has been one of a very con ciliatory nature, while it kept intact the honour of the country. The Abyssinian war has been a com plete vindication of our power and supremacy in distant lands; and nearer at band a menacing con spiracy of some danger has been subdued success fully. Like many others, Mr. Cuerrr is an advo cate for changes to occur in the revenues of the Irish Church when the Report of the Commission has been considered, without consenting to complete disestablisbment. Some of the members of the St. Anne s Electoral Association are lodgers, and. have formed them selves into a baud of reformers on this question. They have addressed the members for Westminster on the matter, declaring that they feel themselves greatly aggrieved " by the cc 'tinned existence of a law by which, although \ j pay all claims of rent due to the person with whom we contract for our lodgi❑gv, we are still liable to have our household goods seized for any defalca tion on his part." To this appeal Mr. JOHN STUART MILL has returned a satisfactory answer. He entirely agrees with the association in condemning the existing law, and declares that it is discreditable to Parliament that it should have been retained iu force so long. He recommends that petitions numerously signed should be pre pared for presentation to the new Parliament on the subject, since " the grievances which are most peti tioned against are likely to be soonest redressed." This is not the first time which the mater has been discussed this year. Before the close of the Session it was brought forward in the Upper House, and the manifest unfairness of thus compelling one man to pay another's debts was strongly dwelt upon. The horror with which the Law Lords regard any innovations on the law seemed, however, to defeat the praiseworthy purpose of the agitators of the question, and the law stands as it was ; so that, in Mr. MILL'S words, "The goods of a lodger who has paid his rent to his immediate landlord may be seized to meet the claims of the head landlord." There is, however, a chance for the lodger. The coming election will place him in a position of importance which he has never occupied before, and since he has become an elector he may chance to find that his grievances will be listened to with respect. It shows how in efficiently the large class of permanent and respec table lodgers have been hitherto represented in Parliament that such an anomaly should have been so long overlooked. The high rents of London, which certainly show no signs of growing less, naturally drive a large number even of stationary and settled persons into lodgings. By taking part of a house which they furnish themselves they can form a little home, with some drawbacks indeed, but without the heavy bur dens which oppress the householder, and from which he cannot lightly escape. It is not fair or reason able to make them responsible for a double rent, both to the occupier and to the owner of the house. It is surely guarantee enough for the landlord if he may seize the property of his own immediate tenant, and the temporary occupiers who made no agree ment with him should be exempt. As we have said, now that the lodger has risen into political impor tance, this grievance has some chance of being re dressed, and redressed we hope it will be with very little delay after the opening of the now Parlia ment. The Royal Mail steamship Atrato is now in dock at this port. The transfer of her mails and cargo to the Tasmanian will be completed during the night. The Tasmanian is appointed to sail at 5 o'clock to-morrow morning. e mail steamer Racahine has_becn detained at Panama until the arrival out of the Tasmanian with the New Zealand mails, passengers, and cargo.

L. BULIVER has been busy at Tamworth, and on Tuesday addressed the electors of Milne cote in a spirited speech. He referred at some length to the working classes, an I said he had always regarded them as a tn)st important element in the constitution of the country.

Scarcely are the proceedings for the day closed, between three and four in the afternoon, when in place of the deep line of people who withdraw, other crowds arrive to form a queue for the next day, so that, if the police officers did not cause them to move on, the line of human beings would not be discontinued. As soon, however, as night arrives, the first-comers instal themselves, and in a short time the arcades of the Rue de Rivoli-are filled with persons of both sexes and every condition, who there pass the night awaiting the op6ing of the offices in the morning. To remain seated or in a reclining position may be conceived, but to remain the en tire night up-standing surpasses imagination. Some, it is true, take the precaution of bringing folding seats, but the pressure of the crowd, in creasing every moment, scarcely gives an oppor tunity of using them. Fortunately, in conse quence of the present great heat, the short duration and coolness of the nights render the position of these persons somewhat supportable. The death is announced of Mr. John Douglas Cook, the editor, from its commencement, of the Saturday Review. Mr. Cook, who had long been in a declining state of health, died on Monday night at his chambers at the Albany. Mr. Cook was editor of the Morning Chronicle during the time that journal was the organ of the Peelites. A number of men charged with taking part in the Murphy riots at Dukinfield were tried at Ches ter Assizes on Tuesday and acquitted.

In Scotland the Increase In barometrical pressure since yesterday has been considerable, amounting to nearly half an inch at Aberdeen, whilst a decrease of two-tenths has taken place on our Channel coast. The lowest reading is at Roche's Point, and the highest at Aberdeen, the difference being 042 inch. Temperature is somewhat less than yesterday. A strong wind from N.E. to S.E. blew on the S.W. coasts yesterday ; but its direction was E. at Weymouth, where it continues from the S.W. The wind is fresh from the northward on the Irish coast, but at other stations it is of moderate force and variable. Rain has fallen in the S. and W., and on the west coast of France. The weather is generally overcast, and rain is falling at several stations in southern districts. A letter from Toulon, published in the Munger du Midi, does not bear out the account of the massacre in Cochin China published by the Moniteur. The letter says that the massacre was the result of insurrectionary symptoms which had been known for some time in the newly-annexed provinces. Worst of all, the chief of the insurgent band is a native who was entrusted by the French with a responsible post. The convention concluded between Bavaria and Wiir temberg relative to the fortress of Ulm provides that the stronghold shall be maintained by a grant, which shall be fixed every year by the Ministers of both States. Each State shall furnish the funds necessary for the main tenance of that portion of the fortress which is situated upon its own territory. Any further works which may be deemed necessary shall be executed at the common expense. The peace garrison shall be 7,000 men, and the war garrison 10,000. The governor shall be nominated by Wtirtemberg, which supplies the greater part of the occupying force, and the vice-governor by Bavaria. The New Free Press gives some particulars respecting the arrest of Prince Alexander Karageorgewitch for com plicity in the murder of Prince Michael of Servia. He was arrested in Pesth by the captain of the city, accom panied by a police agent. The order for his arrest was given by the criminal tribunal of Pesth, and he was placed without military guard in the Charles Barracks, where apartments had been prepared for him. For some fifteen days before the arrest the authorities had judged it necessary to place a watch upon his movements. He, however, did not attempt to quit his residence, except on one occasion, when he was seen to go out with a small travelling bag. The commissioner of police, who was watching him, in quired where he was going, when the Prince replied, " For a walk." The commissioner declared that he should follow him wherever he went, upon which the Prince abandoned Lis intention of a " walk," and went back to his residence.. It was the president of a Servian tribunal who gave the information which led to the arrest of the Prince. There can be little doubt of the result of the trial. Mr. Thaddeus Stevens is dead. The fame of this American politician was entirely of that kind which is denoted by the term notoriety. He was one of the fore most supporters of repudiation in every shape, and recently became conspicuous by his unsuccessful attempt to revive the impeachment of President Johnson. His loss will be a great gain to the party to which he attached himself, and a serious blow to the Democrats, whom he opposed. In obedience to the maxim, Nil de mortuis nisi bonum, all the comment that can be passed upon Mr. Thaddeus Stevens is nit. Bankruptcy as a profession is about the best thing a man can take up. If he fail once in his business he passes the court, and commences again entirely freed from the unfortunate embarrassments which his plan of living at double the rate of his income brought about him. If a man fail two or three times for heavy amounts his fortune is made. People arc willing to do business with him, they cannot conceal their admiration, and if he do not start again in business on his own account, numbers are ready to give him a high salary as manager. A City merchant has been charged before the Lord Mayor with defrauding his creditors by concealment of property. This is another great element in the success of the bankrupt. To go into court deeply in debt, and come out with a nice little capital, is a masterly stroke of policy. This City merchant is remanded, and may be freed from the charge. Let ushope so ; but if not, he will onlybe one of a goodly company. • Bankrupts should always take care to fail for a heavy amount if they srant the compliments of the commissioner and the admiration of their kind. If he shew £lOO,OOO on the wrong side, he is proved to be fully justified in living at £3,000 a year. Let us trust that next session may see the inauguration of a new system in our bAnkrpptcy 41,7 p 414 admiAltiAlun t _ ...` ADA ISAACS MENKEN'S POEMS. It is not generally known that Adah Menken was a poetess, and some may be astonished to learn that she had a volume of semi-religious poems in the press,which will be published in a few days under the title of " Infelicia," and dedicated by special permission to Mr. Charles Dickens. Miss Menken was favoured in no common degree with the correspondence of many of our most distinguished literary men, and it is not improbable that some of these letters will be eventually given to the world ; in the meantime it may not be uninteresting to quote the letter from Mr. Dickens which is prefixed to the volume of poems we have just alluded to : " Gads Hill-place, Higham-by-Rochester, Kent, Monday, October 21, 1867. "Dear Miss Menken,—l shall have great pleasure in accepting your dedication. I thank you for your portrait as a highly remarkable specimen of photography. I also thank you for the verses enclosed in your note. Many such enclosures come to me, but few so pathetically written, and fewer still so modestly sent.

A very delightful hero is Cousin Jack—a hero no less with his pretty cousins in the school-room at Beechwood than with his gallant comrades in the camp at Affghanistan. During the first chap ters of the tale Cousin Jack is in his element, and his delightful spirits are most infectious. Just re turned from the seat of war his presence is doubly welcome in his early home, where his gentle aunt and the pensive little Bertha look upon him and love him as son and brother, and the fair Cyrilla, still in her early girlhood, begins timorously to en• tertain for him a more than sisterly affection. The peace and happiness of the domestic circle at the moment of Jack's arrival are greatly disturbed by the continual in termeddiing of another aunt, Lady Maxwell, who k appropriately compared to Lady Blanche in the Princess, as a tiger cat in the act to spring." A sal change comes over the sprightly character of the tale, the gentle mother of Cyrilla and Bertha is taken away, and great trouble and many perplexities befall the fair cousins. Cousin Jack comes in for more than his due share of anxiety and misfortune, but all ends well ; and the story is interesting and agree able throughout. The Story of a Blind Inventor. By John Plummer. W. Tweedie. 'This little volume is more interesting than many a romance. It contains an account of the life and labours of Dr. James Gale, the inventor of the non explosive gunpowder process. The description of his early years and the first beginning of his afflic tion is pathetic in the extreme. As a youth ho dearly loved reading, and by his devotion helped to hasten on his total deprivation of that delight. When at last the sad fiat was given, and he was con demned, as the last chance of preserving his sight, to give up reading entirely, he closed the book in his hand, and his biographer tells us that " the name of Courtenay,' with which the page termi nated, was the last word ever beheld by the fading eyesight of James Gale." The word became en deeply impressed upon his mind that in after years he bestowed the name of Courtenay upon one of his children. Chaucer to Wordsworth. By Thomas Arnold, M.A. Newby. This little book purports to give a short history of English literature from the earliest times to the present day. Considering the very brief limits assigned to a work of such gigantic materials, the author has very successfully carried out the object he had in view. Beginning with the Anglo-Saxon period, 449, he gives a brief summary of literature and literary men until the death of Wordsworth at the beginning of the present cen tury. We cannot say that we agree with all Air. Arnold's critical opinions. He tells us, for examplo, that Campbell's " Mariners of England," " liohen• linden," &c., "are rapid and spirit-stirring, but full of faults of expression !" and that " The Last Man " is " more ambitious in Cie design than Satis factory in the execution," a criticism which, con sidering these opinions, we are inclined, in our turn, to pronounce upon Mr. Arnold's " History of bug lish Literature." The Freda and Salt 'Water Aquarium. By the Rev' J. G. Wood, M.A. George Rowledge. This little book, with its eleven brightly-coloured illustrations of the wonders of sea shore and country side, the crabs, and sea weeds, and shell- 6 innumerable, and with its abundant information oa all those momentous matters very pleasantly con veyed, will be right welcome to the amateur of the Aquarium. Speeches of the Earl of Shaftesbury. One Vol. Chapman and Hall. This volume, simple as it appears, is a monument of more enduring worth than many a "storied uru or animated bust." The speeches of Lord Shaftes bury, when Lord Ashley, in behalf of the labouring population, produced a more momentous an d startling effect than many of the most brillian t discussions which illumine the pages of " Hansard. , He it was, who, a member of the aristocracy bin" self, boldly stood forward in his place in Parliament to " speak of the poor—and what they endure. " Great facts," most of which, the majority, ved, comfortably ignored, were the main ingredients 01 Lord Ashley's speeches, and great facts, happily for the Christianity of the British Legislature, were th e results of his revelations. His " Acts" ordained that no longer should little children and women work 1° he mines, where infants of tender years had bee° accustomed to pass hours alone in the darkness t ° open and shut the narrow door for the miners to pass through, and that no longer should women, like beasts of burden, crawl, half clad, on hands and knees, to drag the heavy load along in those dismal abysses. We can hardly now believe 03t these and a myriad other similar barbarities did ells' in this civilized land a few short years ago. That they do not now exist is mainly due to the ma ° whose speeches iu that holy cause—the cause of U' poor and the oppressed—are now collected befor e US.

THE NEW ACT ON PUBLIC SCHOOLS. The important Act, to which attention was directed in the Royal Speech on the prorogation, for the good govern ment and extension of public schools, has just been issued, and, in 32 sections, works out the preamble, reciting that the commissioners appointed in 1861 had in their report recommended various changes in the government, management, and studies of the schools, with a view to promote their greater efficiency, but such changes could not be carried out without the authority of Par liament. As to Eton, Winchester, Westminster, Char terhouse, Harrow, Rugby, and Shrewsbury Scho.ols, " governing bodies " are to possess certain powers to make statutes, which are to he submitted to the special commissioners named in the Act, and to be laid before the Queen in Council. On and after the Ist January, 1870, the powers of the governing bodies are to vest in the special commissioners, and they may make statutes and make regulations where the governing bodies had failed. Their office is only to continue for a limited period. Among the powers given is one to remove schools to other sites. The special commissioners named in the Act are the Archbishop of York, the Marquis of Salisbury, the Right Hon. Russell Gurney, Sir John Lubbock, Sir John G. Gnaw-Letevre, Mr. Colcritlgo, M.P., and Mr. Charles Stuart Parker. LAW _REPORTING. The report of the council of law reporting, just issued, says that the receipts for prepaid subscriptions in 1866 amounted to £20,334 18s. ; in 1867 to £21,870 16s. 4d. During these two years the further sum of £503 16s. 7d. was received for interest on temporary investments. Credit is also taken for the sum of £1,253 ss. ld ; this is the amount of the net balances up to the 31st December, 1867. The total amount thus realised during the years 186667 was £43,054 16s. The sums received for prepaid subscriptions during the current year, up to the 30th of June, 1868, amount to £21,022 6s„ and this sum will be increased by the amount which will be due from the agents of Messrs. Clowes in India, the colonies, and America at the end of the year. The council at the commencement of their proceedings based their engagements upon the result of a three years' trial. The special guarantee of the first moiety of the salariesof the editors and reporters in aid of the subscription list was for three years. This guarantee has never been called into operation, and is now at an end. The three years' experience which the council have now had of the income which the law reports has yielded seem to them to justify the conclusion that these reports, if properly conducted, will yield a permanent income of at least £21,000 per annum ; and that such income will probably increase, if the principle of the bar scheme be adhered to, and inde pendent professional control be maintained as the main spring of management. Although the council regard the continuance of the large professional support they have hitherto received as evidence that the Law Reports, as hitherto published, are on the whole satisfactory, they are by no means insensible to the fact that they are still capable of improvement ; and, profiting by the three years of experience, the council will direct close attention to the future efficiency of the reports. Sir Roundell Palmer is chairman of the council. THE CIVIL WAR IN VENEZUELA. The correspondent of the New York Herald gives the following account of the battle between the troops of General Monagas and General Bruzual, in Venezuela : "On the 22nd ultimo General Monagas (Jose Tadeo) attacked General Bruzual's forces at Chacao, a small village a few leagues from Caracas, and after an obstinate fight of four hours' duration obtained quite an important victory. Monagas' ai my numbered about 3,300 men, formed into two divisions. Bruzual's army scarcely amounted to 2,500 men, commanded by bins in person, the next in command being General Aristeguieta,. The division leaders wore Cenern.la Rafael Marquez and Leon Culina. After his victory at Chacao, General Monagas pressed on to Caracas, and on the evening of the same day attacked the place. On the 23rd ult. the Genuinos entered the city of Caracas, when a terrific and sanguinary fight ensued, lasting through three entire days, the 23rd, 24th, and 25th. The whole number of killed and wounded on both sides, from the most reliable information, was about 2,500. The fighting was hand to hand in nearly all the streets ; the fiercest struggle, however, took place at the cathedral. Here a party of Bruzualists had taken possession of the towers of the edifice, and from them poured a galling fire on their assailants. They were finally - dislodged, however, and on the evening of the 25th General Monagas was master of the city. General Colina, Bruzual's general-in-chief, was wounded and taken pri soner. SAD DEATH .OF A GERMAN PRINCE. The New Free Press of Vienna gives the subjoined details respecting the sad deaths of Prince Gagarin and his son, the latter 7 years of age :—" The father and son, accompanied by M. Reimann, the tutor of the young man, were at seven in the evening in a rather shallow mill-stream, quite close to the water-lock of Ischl, in Upper Austria, when, without notice given, the gates were suddenly opened, and the three gentlemen were carried away by the torrent. M. Reimann succeeded in gaining the left bank, and he immediately rushed across the bridge to the assistance of the Prince and his son, whom he had seen disappearing on the right of the stream. At the same time the Princess, who was seated in a sedan chair looking on, witnessed the whole catastrophe, and at first mute with terror, she at last fainted, and was in that state taken to her hotel. The unhappy wife and mother said to Dr. Hirschfeld, on his coming to her aid, All my fortune shall be yours if you save my husband and son.' Assistance was quickly organised ; the Prince was soon found, but he had received an injury in the head from coming in contact with a floating piece of wood, and to restore life was impossible. The body of his son was not recovered until next morning. The Princess, long an invalid, is in a critical state. The Emperor of Austria was among the first to testify his profound sympathy for her in this calamity, and be begged that she should remove to Smunden in order to be absent from a locality which must cause her such poignant recollections." MURDER AT KIMBOLTON. -40. A murder has been committed at Stoneley, near Kim bolton, Hunts, in a cottage within 100 yards of the resi dence of his Grace the Duke of Manchester. At the inquest, before W. C. J. Mellor, deputy coroner, it appeared that the victim of the outrage was an old woman 88 years old, and that her murderer was her son, a stalwart labourer, about 50. The son has been abandoned by his wife, and has taken refuge in the miserable hovel occupied by his mother. The accused, now confined in the County of Huntingdon Prison, is named GeorgeLecton. On the night of the 30th ult. the son went home about eleven o'clock ; his mother, who slept in a bed upon the same floor, had then retired to rest, the poor old woman being very ill. The following morning a daughter-in-law went in early, and found her mother dead. She was lying across the bed in a slanting direction, with her face buried in a pillow and a quilt fastened tightly round her neck. The son was sitting quietly by. When taken into custody he coolly observed, " She hit me first." Mr. Sprague, sur geon, who made a post-mortem examination of the body, told the jury on Tuesday that in his opinion the deceased died from violence; that she was rendered partly insensible by the blows received ; and that her death was completed by surfooation. A labourer who works with Leeton that the accused had said that he would lict mailitain his mother, and that the relieving officer had said she would have to go into the union. The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against the son. FEMALE NOVEL READERS. —A confirmed female novel reader has many of the habits of a drunkard. She cannot do without the novel any more than ho can do without his glass. She will neglect necessary work just as ho neglects his business. She is just as irritated if you rzmonstrate with her as he is if you rebuke him. She sinks into a feverish, excited, indolent habit of mind, very like the habit of his body, And why?
