CONSIDERED apart from the Irish Church Question, the alternative now before the country at this Gene : ral Election is not by any means so clearly defined as might be supposed by a superficial observer. In one sense, of course, it is a choice between being led, more or less in the serried ranks of party, by Mr. DISRAELI, as Prime Minister of England, or being led, in the same straggling order, by Mr. GLAD STONE ag the Head of the Opposition. But it would be equally idle to assert that the two sides are definable with any distinctness as—here iiISRAELIANS—here GLADSTONEASS. Implicit obedi ence cannot in any event be expected, from the rank and file of their supporters, either by the 'Premier in esse or by the Premier in posse. Supposing, for the sake of argument, that the enormous majority of over two hundred at this moment confidently anticipated by many for Mr. GLADSTONE, as the out-come of the General Election immediately about to take place throughout the three kingdoms his embarassment then, as every one feels and knows perfectly well, will be an embarras des richesses. How long could even the most astute leader hold together a phalanx so heterogeneous ? If with a majority of seventy the harmonious conducting of his party was a feat utterly beyond the capacity of Mr. GLADSTONE to accomplish—what can in reason be said of his chances of success in that way, when the seventy shall have expanded to more than two hundred ? Why, the Cave of Adullam would not be large enough to hold the probable se cessionists, the recalcitrants, the independents, call them what you please ! On the other hand, in regard to Mr. DISRAELI'S followers, or supporters, or what ever you may term them—it is a fact equally notori ous that among those also there are Adullamites of another colour, "followers who won't follow," ac cording to the phrase of the right honourable gentleman the member for Kilmarnock. While to the left of Mr. SPEAKER there were men like Lord ELCHO, and Mr. LOWE, and Mr. BOUVERIE —to the right of Mr. SPEAKER there were men con fronting them like Mr. SANDFORD, and Mr. BERES FORD HOPE and Mr. RALPII EARLE. Nay, conspi cuously placed in the first rank of the Ministerialists, there were Cabinet Ministers of the greatest influence, of the highest powers, of the most for midable reputation, who preferred to throw up office with disdain, rather than co-operate any longer with Mr. DISRAELI, either when the right hon. gentleman was still Chancellor of the Exchequer, or afterwards when he rose to be First Lord of the Treasury. Thenceforth, to all intents and purposes, Gen. PEEL,. the Earl of CARNARVON, and the Marquis of SALIS BURY might be considered to have walked over to the other side, one of them of the House of Commons, the other two of the House of Lords. As for Gen. PEEL, so absolute has been' his rupture with his party that he prefers to withdraw altogether from public life rather than run the risk of having anything further to do with it, now that he considers it to be so completely disorganised. While, with reference to the two other distinguished seceders from the present Government in the earlier of the two phases of its existence, namely, while it was yet the DERBY-DISRAELI, and before it had became the DISRAELI Government —those two eminent and gifted ex-Ministers, the Earl of CARNARVON and the Mar quis of SALISBURY —it is a fact, notorious throughout the country, that so far from being in any way sympathisers with the Prime Minister, and his colleagues, and the ranks of the Ministerialists generally, those noble lords are so diametrically the reverse that they are about their most virulent and and unrelenting antagonists. Insomuch that Lord SALISBURY can hardly open his lips without sneering sardonically, in season and out of season, against his some time friend and colleague, Mr. DISRAELI. Inso much, again, in the other instance, that Lord CAR NARVON, time and again last session, indulged in such audacious onslaughts upon the veteran chief of the Conservative Party, the late Era; Minister of the TRE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 31, 1868. Crown, that—listening to those personal attacks of his upon Lord DERBY—one felt that the Ex-Colonial Sec cretary was "bearding the lion in his den, the DOUGLAS in his hall !" No : alike on the side of the Government and on the side of the Opposition, the two great opposing parties do not in any way re spectively cohere. The supporters (or rather those on the side) of Mr. GLADSTONE, aro anything but pure and simple Gladstoncans. Those on the side of Mr. DISRAELI are not by any means reliable Disraeli an s. Upon the Irish Church Question the issue is dis tinct enough. But after that—the Deluge! After that—the disintegration of political parties as they are at present, and the formation of new combina tions after that inevitable disintegration ! But even as things are now in reference to that great, broad, solid alternative as to the disestablishment and disen endowment, or the maintenance still in a modified form, of the Irish Church, we have no sufficient guarantee, that that is a question that may not, in the possibili ties, be evaded by some consummate piece of dexterity on the part of the present Prime Minister. There is a talk, for example, of his probably evading the necessity of resigning office—no matter what the extent of the nominal majority against him on the assembling of the new Parliament—by the fore shadowing in the Speech from the Throne of so large a measure of reform in regard to the Irish Land Question that the Ministry proposing it could hardly, upon the instant of introducing a remedial measure such as that for Ireland, be doomed by a point blank vote of want of confidence. Snowing that these are (to say the least of them) among the possibilities in the immediate future, we cannot but reiterate the remark with which we commenced that when considered apart from the Irish Church Ques tion, the alternative now before the country, and afterwards, upon the decision of the country, about to be brought directly before Parliament, or, more strictly speaking, before the House of Commons, is, after all, not so clear, is, after all, not so easily definable as upon the first blush the superficial ob server might have been inclined to suppose. Whatever may be the numerical majority won by Mr. GLADSTONE, whatever may be the minority in which Mr. DISRAELI may find himself—the result will have to be decided afterwards. It will have to be decided, in other words, not so much upon the hustings as upon the floor of the House of Commons. " When Greek meets Greek, then comes the tug of war." When the two foremost men in England among our statesmen, again confront each other from either side of that substantial table intervening between the Treasury bench and the front bench of the Opposition then will come, but not until then will come, the decision to be arrived at. What that decision will be must remain problematical even after the returns have shown the enormous preponderance, in all human likelihood, on the side of Mr. GLADSTONE as Leader of the Opposition. Even supposing him to have that preponderance, numerically, to the extraordinary extent now anticipated by the more sanguine among his supporters, namely, to the extent of his obtaining a clear majority of over 200—the imme diate acquisition by him of power cannot even then be looked upon as a foregone conclusion. Possession is nine' paints of the law. And with a Master Tacti tian like 111!%. DISRAELLI actually in power w hen Parliament meets—prepared for every emergency— endowed with a'genius for finesse that has never been surpassed—himself individually prepared to make any concessions that may be deemed inevitable to meet the requirements of the age—cunning of fence and per fect in temper—it by no means follows that, because numbers happened to be against him, he may not still contrive to solve in his own way the Irish difficulty, and to retain still within his own grasp th 3 respon sibility of conducting the QUEEN'S Government. IN the multitude of counsellors there is perplexity. If Mr. DISRAELI had known that the good PRINIAT E who has just been taken from us was so near his end, the Premier would have been the heartiest to offer up prayers for his Grace's recovery. As it is, he is called upon to make an appointment of all others the most difficult, of all others the most certain to displease a large number of persons, and that on the eve of a general election. He might have had the filling of the whole bench of judges—he and Lord DERBY have pretty nearly had that already— and no one outside the Inns of Court and West minster would have cared. No one would have any thought of giving or withholding a vote in consequence. Ask the first dozen men you meet, who is the Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, who is the Lord Chief Baron, and they will tell you that they don't know and don't care. Ask a hundred persons in succession the names and the politics of the last six judges who have received the ermine, and you will get no answer. But when a bishop has to be appointed every one is on the qui rive, every one is personally interested. The organ of the City gives the Premier excellent advice, and tells him to choose the best man. The organ of the Philistines is a little more explicit, and tells him that in the opinion of the said organ one bishop who is named will not do, and another, also named, will do. The organ of the publi cans is very precise indeed. It runs through the whole episcopate, and in an article which shews a familiarity with the bishops and their words and deeds which many a cleric might envy, two-thirdS of the prelates are first of all eliminated, and the rest are then discussed one by one. Victuallers and Premier are warned against the awful consequences of appointing this man. Victuallers and Premier are told of the blessings in store for them if that other man be chosen. The Times admires the late Primate as one who had the art of never interfering more than was absolutely necessary, and who owed his promotion to that quality; the Advertiser declares that if a second Dr. LONGLEY be appointed, there will in ten years be no English Church left to dis establish. The Daily Telegraph selects Dr. TAIT as the best possible selection ; the Advertiser declares that such a choice would be fatal to the Church. The Standard describes an ideally perfect man as the one whom the Premier means to select ; and we most sincerely say, we wish he may get him. Why all this anxiety ? Why this superabundance of advice ? Even the most devout believer in the doc trine of nulla ecelesia sine episcopo never supposed that the existence of the English Church depended upon the precise views of any particular bishop, even though he were metropolitan. We have had Archbishop SLT3INER, and we have had Archbishop LONGLEY : the one a kind-hearted, amiable Low Churchman ; the other a kind-hearted, amiable High Churchman. Both made excellent archbishops, in spite of the low churchmanship of the one and the high church manship of the other. Neither has left any perm anent mark on the Church, except so far as the Lambeth Conference may be said to have done so. Neither has been able with all his urbanity, to prevent partisanship within the Church from becoming more bitter every year. Neither has been able to postpone by a day the dis ruption that we conceive is inevitable and not distant. A partisan bishop might have hastened it, perhaps, by an act of intolerance. The Advertiser's favourite bishop, Dr. BARING, or Dr. IVALDEGRAVE, or Dr. LEE, would certainly accelerate it by a few years. But, after all, the impending event is duo rather to the great body of the Church, both layand cleric; is due to that stern conflict between authority and inquiry which began to be fought at the Reformation, which has to be fought out now to the bitter end, though, thank GOD, without the accompaniment of the rack and the stake. Hitherto the battle has been waged upon a minor issue—the issue as to whether the Church or the Book shall be considered - the in fallible guide, The real question is, has Engin) any infallible guide at all? It is absurd to suppose that any one of the half-dozen gentlemen to whom Mr. DISRAELI'S choice is confined can have any real influence upon that point. If the Church News were to declare that the chosen Primate were a Homoiousian, the world would stare and laugh. But if the Record were to announce that he held up two fingers and a thumb in pronouncing the blessing, every Recordite would be scandalised, and transfer his vote from Mr. MOWBRAY to Sir ROUNDELL PALMER. To-day's con troversy is rather as to the relations of the Church to the world, of the teachers of spiritual things to the laity. Do they speak with authority, or do they belong to the scribes ? Are they clad with super natural power before which reason must give place, or are they merely leaders on the path of inquiry by virtue of their having more carefully studied the way than we ? Any indication, however minute, which reveals to us the tendency of a man's mind is there fore important. It is for this reason that the Recordite lifts up his voice when he sees the two fingers lifted up. But, then, the Recordite has his idols too—idols in the Baconic sense of the word. If he is jealous of priestcraft, he is still more jealous of free thought. Incense is an abomination to him ; but anyone who denies verbal inspiration is worse even than a Ritualist. The Recordite calls himself a Protestant; but he controverts the first principle—the very foundation—of Protestantism, the right of every man to inquire if a doctrine is true, instead of taking it upon authority. We believe that even the Bishop of OXFORD would be less obnoxious to the Recordite than the Bishop of LONDON. LATEST INTELL OEOE. (REUTERS TELEGRAMS.) BOMBAY HEAVY MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, Oct. 31.

A committee of prominent Democrats conferred with Horatio Seymour on Saturday last, who is re ported to have expressed his willingness to with draw from the candidature for the Presidency if the prospect of success of his party would thereby be increased. Gen. Blair, in a speech at St. Louis, also declared his willingness to withdraw from the contest for the Vice-Presidency, saying he would make any sacrifice to secure the success of his party, but he believed that the Democratic party would triumph under its present leaders.

This magnificent example of British art-workmanship has been executed by the eminent firm of Howell, James, and Co., Regent-street, and of all the splendid specimens of the goldsmith's art t y which they have been called upon to furnish on many work mpuobrolicocca° calculatedns o have never produced a than that now under notice. The work is remarkable in many instances :—First, it is the only " gold sword " ever manufactured ; then si tlle increase their reputation the design is of the most exquisite description ; the execution is perfection in every part ; and the whole combined renders it a production of Bri tish skill that will create wonder and surprise in the great and distant empire to which his lordship is about to proceed. It will prove to the workers in the precious metals in other countries that Bri tish art is still improving, and that on all occasions when a piece of work of matchless beauty is required the English workman is quite able to produce it, unassisted either as to design or execution. The scabbard of the sword is composed entirely of 18 carat gold, the entire length of which is finely wrought in repousse work, the ornamentation consisting of renaissance scrolls of palm, laurel, military trophies, and all the names of the principal military stations through which his lordship and his army marched. The arms of the City and those of his lordship are beautifully introduced in the most brilliantly painted enamel, and the handle is formed of a piece of carved ivory that rivals in perfection that pro duced by the Chinese. A splen'idly executed lion's head in gold surmounts a blade of the finest steel, richly ornamented in Damascene work, and bearing an inscription setting forth by whom and for what it was presented to his lordship. Messrs. Howell, James, and Co. have received the expression of the highest satis faction from those who confided to them the work, but that will be small praise compared to that which they will receive when that brilliant speci men of English art is seen in the distant empire to which his lordship is on the eve of his de parture. ROM3EY PLOUGHING 111ATC11.—This match too place on the Lee Farm on Wednesday last, and instead of the prizes and competitors boing divided into soverad classes, as is generally the case, two hanisotn) prizes of £lO and £5 respec t lvely ware offered, to be competed for in one class by all comers with any description of two-horse plough. Twenty four plough men entered the lists, using ploughs manufactured by Ransoms and Simi s, Howard, Hornsby, Tasker, Pearce, and Woodbourne After an exciting competition the first prize of £lO was won by James Barker, ploughman to Messrs. Ransoms and Sims, and t he second prize of £3 to a ploughman using one of Messrs. sward's ploughs. The journals are all occupied with Baron Bend's speech, or, rather, the substantial part of it—the announcement that 800,000 must be the figure at which the war army of the Austrian Empire is to be fixed for the present. The total number actually available now is under 500,000, but a war army of such dimensions will require a much larger available force in time of peace. Of course, if the Austrian force on a war footing is to be fixed at 800,000 it cannot be kept at 300,000 on peace dimensions. It may, therefore, be concluded that Austria will in future have a standing force of not less than half a million, to be largely increased in case of hostilities. The pessimists make the worst of this determination. But it is difficult to dis,cover any very special significance in it. There is the obnoxious article in the Journal de St. Petersbourg, cer tainly, but such articles have been written often before without doing anybody harm. The St. Petersburg papers say that in case Austria helps France, Russia will help Prussia. These pen and ink theories have been drawn out again and again to the utter weariness of the flesh. Austria is doing nothing mate than any other Power; it is the general situation, not any special action which produces the evil. The Gaulois is responsible for the statement that their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales and Lord Stanley will be the Emperor's guests at Compibgne early next month. The difficulty with the Bey of Tunis is in a fair way or settlement. It will be remembered that this dispute arose originally out of the inability of the Bey to reimburse his French creditors. As these smrll folk cannot repudiate their debts as their more powerful neighbours, France interfered, and at last the unhappy African " potentate" offered the produce of certain taxes as payment of his debts. It was, however, afterwards discovered that he appropriated part of these taxes to his own use : hence the difficulty. It is officially announced that it will be settled, but we are not told how. Probably the Bey has promised to behave himself, and not appropriate the taxes. The Etendard speaks in terms of high praise of the spirit of conciliation which the English Cabinet has not ceased to display throughout the settle ment of these difficult negotiations. A heartless case of child desertion occurred here a night or two ago. A little girl, apparently not more than two years old, was found crying in the Rue Neuve, St. Augustin. A paper, with the words " Her name is Mary Rupert," was attached to the waistband of her frock. The baker's boy who found the child took her to the nearest police-office, but had scarcely reached it when a boy, agedaabout 6, who had been found wandering in the Passage Choiseul, was brought in. He also had a paper pinned to his clothes, with the name of John Pinger written on it. These two proved to he brother and sister. The wretch who passed as their father had brought them over from England the previous day, had given them their supper, and had left them each at a different place, saying that he would return presently. The case is being inquired into. Little hope of Rossini's recovery is held out. A curious incident has happened at one of the newly. authorised public meetings. M. Darimon ascended the tribune with the intention of speaking, but his appearance was greeted by a tremendous tumult. He claimed the freedom of opinion and of the tribune. A workman cried out that all respected liberty and free expression of opinion, but that M. Darimon's proper place was at the Tuileries. The would-be orator gave way upon this attack. The sale of the Figaro in the open street has been pro- hibited. Two fine portraits have been found at Pompeii. They are the first paintings of the kind that have been dis covered. V6locipedes are coming into general use. In several of the departments they are being used by the commission naires, or " general utility" men. They run errands, carry messages, parcels, &c. With the aid of these machines they are enabled to do as much work in one hour as they could do in three without them. By extra profits they can pay off the cost of the velocipbde in a month or two: THE WEATHER TABLE.-THIS DAY. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIEL (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS. FRIDAY, October 30.

The change in barometrical pressure since last evening has been very slight on all coasts, except in the west, where there has been a diminution :at Valencia the reading is OT.in. lower. At southern stations pressure continues very high : the difference in readings between Rochefoit and Nairn is nearly eight-tenths. Temperature is generally higher : the rise has been most on the E. coast. In the S. of Scotland a strong N.W. wind prevailed yesterday, but winds generally were westerly and moderate. On the Irish coast a fresh south-westerly breeze is blowing, and on other coasts the wind is from W. to S.W. Weather is generally overcast, with fog and mist, especially in the S. of Ireland. THE " AFFAIRE DOULTON." The following is the judgment given in the Doulton case : " Whereas the accused, Frederick Doulton, although duly cited, has not put in an appearance : whereas from the investigation it has appeared that Doulton, at Brussels, on the 9th December, did cause to be delivered by Mention and Son-1. A sub-contract for the works for the purifica tion of the river Senne, to be completed for the sum of 14,950,000 f. 2. Through the intervention of Smith, a pro mise by which Mention and Sons covenanted to hand over the sum of 2,500,000 f.. to be deducted from the price of the sub-contract : whereas the accused has causedthe sub-con tract to be transferred to him at an advanced rate, for the purpose of increasing his profit in a company which he was about to form in London—in fact, a company was formed in London by Doulton on the 19th September, 1866, under the name of the Belgian Public Works Company : whereas it has been proved by the investiga tion, and especially from the letter dated April 2, 1866, from the board of directors of that company, that towards the end of Docember, 1866, the company was formed to acquire the concession of the 15th June, and amongst other objects that they were to acquire it has been stated by Doulton that some Belgian contractor, per fectly solvent, had entered into a provisional contract to carry out the works for the purification of the Senne for £598,000 (14,950,000 f.) or in other words, the agreement of the sub-contractor, entered into between Doulton and Mention : whereas it has been besides proved from this said letter of the 2nd April that Doulton, in order to induce the company to accept the contract. of 14,950,000 francs, gave the co-contractors to understand that he was in treaty with the most celebrated English contractors, and that they had been convinced that it was impossible to obtain more favourable terms : whereas, when the company had been formed, Doulton, in his character of managing director. in order to carry out with the English board the sub contractoa's contract at the price of 14,950,000 f., did renew this contract in London on the 13th January, 1867, the name of the said company : whereas in so doing Doulton appropriated subsequently at Brussels a portion of the profits granted to him by Mention and Son to the prejudice of the Public Works Company : whereas it is proved from the foregoing that Doulton did, by fraudulent means, influence the London company to undertake on their own account the sub-contract of Mention and Sons, thereby committing an act of swindling, as laid down in Art. 490 of the Belgian Penal Code, in a foreign country—in fact, in so doing, the company has become liable to Mention and Sons, and it is this liability contracted in a fraudulent manner by Doulton from which he would have received the illegal profits stipulated for by him ; that if Doulton had remitted to Brussels by Mention and Sons the sum of 14,897,537 f., that remittance which shews the persistency of his intent would only be in Belgium regarded as a misdemeanour committed in foreign countries : whereas it is of no moment that, since the formation of the Belgian Public Works Company, of which all the founders are foreigners, Belgian share holders have subsequently become interested in this company, and as it has not been proved that fraudulent means had been adopted by the accused, so far as they were concerned, to induce them to take shares : whereas the acts imputed to Frederick Doulton, and of lie is accused at Brussels, do not come under the new Be ;g:an Penal Code. Therefore the court quashes the in. lictinent against the accused." Tho Public Prosecutor has appealed against this judg• meat, _ Messrs. Cowper and Brand are the two Liberal candi dates for Hertfordshire. Many of those whose suffrages they are soliciting are farmers. Mr. Cowper, wishing to gain these votes, spoke to the farmers of Royston a day or two back as follows. After apologising for interrupting the business of the market, he said that if he had interrupted agricultural business on the present occa sion, it was the only time on which he had done so ; on the contrary, he had endeavpured to expedite it, as his endeavours last session to get the Foreign Cattle Markets Bill passed would prove. It was disagreeable to go against one's own party, but he had done so in that matter, and bad voted for the establishment of separate markets tor foreign cattle, and this bill he would continue to sup port. He was sorry to say that the agricultural interest had got rather a bad name amongst his party, so that when an agriculturist came forward to ask for anything he was so often treated as if the arguments which prevailed against him many years ago were applicable now. It was something like the old cry of "Wolf ;" the agriculturists had sung out when they really wanted nothing, and the consequence was that they were not believed when they really did want something. If they really wished to keep down that frightful calamity the cattle plague, they must do it by isolating the cattle. There was one other point of local interest, and that was that the ratepayers of the county should have the control over the rates which they themselves contributed. In this matter himself and his colleague entered most heartily, and as Mr. Gladstone —whose return to office they looked on as a certainty— had also declared his adhesion to this opinion, there was no doubt that a bill would be passed on the subject. CANON WOODFORD ON THE CHURCH. The Rev. Canon Woodford, who has been appointed vicar of Leeds, as successor to the Rev. Dr. Atlay, in the course of a speech at the annual soiree of the Leeds Church Institute and Sunday School Union, said there was no doubt they were met together in times of anxiety for the Church of England ; but he did not at all believe they were times which ought excessively to de press, for if there were clouds without, he believed there was never so much sunshine within. He believed there never was a time since the Reformation when the princi ples of the Church of England were so thoroughly under stood and so generally accepted as at this time. He was just going to mention, and not more than mention, one word which he dared say would call up a number of different opinions in the place—"disestablishment." Well, they, knew that there were good Churchmen who believed with him that the Church would flourish more if dis established ; and there were others who felt they should be throwing away an enormous vantage ground in the sepa ration of Church and State, and that both Church and State would suffer. He believed himself that both would suffer. But while he said this, what he wanted to add was this—namely, that the Church must not be afraid of disestablishment. She need not be afraid of it if she knew thoroughly and acted up to her own prin ciples. She would still flourish and do her work among the people as a Church. She might have to work harder ; she might have to contend with greater diffi culties of disestablishment, but she was quite able to stand alone. All their work and all their efforts ought to be directed to this, that while they would do all that they could to maintain the alliance between Church and State, which they believed had hitherto worked well for England, yet they would, by their zeal and by their increasingly familiarising themselves with their own principles, pre pare themselves not to be shaken if the time came when the State should cast them off. He believed that the Church could stand by itself. He believed it, first, because of the indwelling spirit in the Church, which was its source of light, whether established or disestablished. He believed it, secondly, under the government of the spirit, because of the energy and increasing life among Churchmen, of which that very institute was itself a beginning, and which would, he believed, in no mean measure in the time to come increase and strengthen. MB. CHARLES BUXTON, M.P., ON THE GAME LAWS. Mr. Buxton presided at the dinner of the Chobham Agricultural Association on Thursday, and in proposing the toast of the evening he said there was a subject of ery serious importance to farmers, upon which he should like to say a few words—he referred to the game laws. Now . .e was a game preserver. He had just returned from ix weeks' shooting in Norfolk ; he was fond of the sport, and he neither wished nor expected ever to see it extinguished. On the other hand, it was his conviction that the law of the laud went a great deal further than was reasonable in its support. He thought that the pro urietor of a piece of land, whether great or small, had a right to all its productions—to the live animals that grew upon it, whether bullocks, partridges, cats, or weasels, or whatever else they might be—just as he had a right to its vegetable produce. He was quite sure they could never allow any stranger who happened to like a day's shooting to beat through another person's woods or tramp across his fields to kill the game upon them. Whatever happened, the laws would have to protect the proprietor of the land in his right to the game that grew upon it; and if they did not have a law in favour of the game, they must substitute that which did not now exist—a real law of trespass. Few people seemed to be aware that at pre sent any man might walk over any other man's land so long as he did no damage ; the threats of prosecution were bugbears. But if the landlord had no protection for his game, he must have that which he did not now possess—protection against simple intrusion. So far, he thought the game law reasonable and advan tageous. He would now say in what respect he con sidered the game law went too far. He thought it a shame that if a poor man was going along the public road and saw a hare, and knocked it on the head, he was liable to be taken up, fined, or thrown into prison as a poacher, and liable also to pay £23 to the excise for killing game without a license. He would most certainly abolish that part of the law. He would give to every man perfect liberty to kill ground game—either hares or rabbits—in any way he pleased, so long as it was not upon another man's property. He also considered it a shame that if a country policeman thought, or pretended to think, that any man or woman had game concealed about them, he might stop that man or woman and search them to find it. That was a most shameful piece of tyranny, and he never voted against anything more heartily than he did against that clause of Sir Baldwin Leighton's bill. Then, again, he thought this a great wrong —that game was put on a perfectly distinct footing from all other property in this respect. If a man stole a cow or a chicken, his prosecution was undertaken at the expense and trouble of the prosecutor, but prosecutions against poachers were no longer undertaken at the expense of the wealthy preservers, but at the cost of the county, and in some counties this formed a heavy item of expenditure. He also thought it a wrong that a land lord's coverts should be exempt from rating. What was really wanted was not so much a change in the law as a bolder purpose on the part of farmers not to permit them selves to be so ruinously over-ridden, as great numbers of them were, by excessive and extravagant preservation of game, especially of rabbits and hares. He believed thatif they agitated this question more persistently, if they made their voices heard, and especially at election times, game preservers would be compelled to yield to the pressure of public opinion, and he was sorry that more had not been said on this topic during the past few weeks. SEE or PETERBOROUGH.—The Conge d'Elire and Letter Recommendatory having been received by the Dean and Chapter of Peterborough, the dean and canons assembled in their Chapter House on Friday morning, and unanimously elected to the Bishopric of Peterborough the Very Rev.

CHRISTIAN MORTAR. —ln New York, a maiden lady has left all her property for the purpose of building a church, on condition that her body and bones should be made into mortar in which to lay the corner-stone. What could have been the leading motive for such a stipulation? Was it that she was determined to guard against the pos sibility of being buried alive, or that she desired, with her own body and bones, to help to consolidate the Church? —Builder. FIRST DAY OF MICHAELINIAS TERM—Monday is the first day of the term, when the courts will be opened at two o'clock, at Westminster. At the Lord Chancellor's breakfast, at twelve o'clock, the " eighteen " common law judges will assemble, and three newly-appointed judges will receive the congratulations of their brethren. Some extensive reforms are expected to be carried out. The courts of law and equity re-open with comparatively few arrears. There is a good deal of business in the Divorce Court, and considerable arrears in the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. We understand that Mr. Justice Blackburn, Mr. Justice 'Wines, and Baron Martin, the senior puisne judges in the common-law courts, are willing to be placed on the rota for the trial of election petitions under the new Act. If that is the case they would doubtless be selected by their brethren for the duty. Only one of the three (Mr. Baron Martin) has ever been before the public as a politician, and in his case, while his high personal character will prevent any suspicion of partiality, his great shrewdness and knowledge of the world make him admirably fitted to conduct such an inquiry. —Solicitor's Journal. - --4, ttlffilikst• HER MAJESTY.
