E.C. nit_____ La' DO.V, MONDAY, JULY 20. 1838 In ca: sequcuez of the efforts wade on &Our,lay at tile s . tting (f the Home of Commons the licibery got through Counnittee It was inclec!(l p: - etry clear that a nmruing sitting on Saturday meant something significant, and hon. members seemed to have accepted their fate, but they could not make up their minds to forego a parting struggle, and it wa3 not till five that the House comi Iced its task, and then only by putting off the ctisi.leration of many of the clauses until the lloport be brought up. This is as well, fur had an miliat . ted discussion been permitted there is no doubt that some weeks might haire elapsed before a settle= men t was effected. The Solicitor-General opposed the clause that Sir R. GoLDsmID wished to introduce, to t h 3 effect hat all Totes that were given to a c..iadi date found guilty cf blibc.ry shoal I be cooside:ed as thrown away because of its extreme stringency . Tile Committee acted wisely in rejecting the pro position, although it met with some influential sup porters, Mr. LowE, for one, declaring that it would not be advisable to give the corrupt electors another opportunity of repeating their offence, but it would not be very easy to carry out the suggestion made by the right hon. gentleman, to the effect that if one-third of the electors were innocent of bribery, they should be permitted to carry the re presentative. There was more force in the proposal of Mr. KINGLAKE, to supplement the House by a provision that no one should petition but the un successful candidate, and before that a preliminary inquiry should settle if his side had been guilty of bribery. The good of this would be that some one who had an interest in the affair would take up the matter, and it would not be concealed, as it too often is now, through angry feeling and vexatious influences. Mr. FAWCETT moved a motion, to the effect that the expenses of the return ing officer should be defrayed out of the county or borough rates, and no person t 3 be nomi nated unless he deposit a hundred pounds or some fixed sum the day before the nomination wi:h the returning officer. Mr. DisAAEni was against ' the clause, although he admitted that it de served attention, because he said very truly that so many burdens have already been put upon the poor-rates ; and another reason was that the proposal was not relevant to the bill , wh i c h was I specially meant to guard against corrupt practices, and hence the equal payment of returning officers had nothing to do with it. Mr GLADSTONE thought that this scheme was a good one, and exerted him self to show its advisability. The Committee decided in favour of the clause by a majority of nine. This is a decision to be regretted, more especially on account of the rates, which ought, as Mr. DISRAELI said, to be allowed to lie fallow for a time. Mr. GLADSTONE and his friends are so fond of taking . the theoretical part of a question that they are very apt to forget the practical portion of it, and we do not expect that the ratepayers will thank them for their sudden zeal, which they call a public duty, to put obstacles out of the way of candidates. In consequence of some representations that were made, Mr. FAwcETT withdrew the proviso relating to the deposit, and said that he would bring up any other consideration on the report being taken, and a good deal of conversation ensued re specting the effect that the clause would pro duce. Lord WlLrox said that, in Yorkshire, which is Low divided into many parts, it was not fair that the whole county should be charged for the expenses of the election of one division ; and the Solicitor-General, speaking of boroughs, explained that the municipal boundaries were not always the same as the Parliamentary ones, and the expenses cannot be fairly divided in consequence of the manner in which the rates are collected. Mr. CLAY'S cause was next considered, and it is not surprising that it was rejected by a ma jority cf forty, for it was one of a peculiar charac ter. It proposed that every member on taking his seat should mAke a declaration that be was nut privy to any corrupt or illegal practices, and if the declaration should be proved false that he be sub ject to a penalty of five hundred pounds. This apparently ingenious scheme met with the support of Mr. MILL and others, who went so far as to say that it was the best thing that could be done, and indeed might represent the chief characteristics of the bill. The Solicitor-General showed very plainly that it would not answer the proposed ends, for those of more sensitive minds would be the sufferers, and tho:e who are resolved to carry out Cieir purpose would continue to get out of the responsibility in some way or other. Altogether the bill is now safe, and may be looked upon as virtually passed, for the Lords will not offer any opposition to it. The Government deserve great credit for the manner in which they have conducted this bill, and it must be remembered that they have had many and great obstacles to encounter ia re spect to it. Far back in the Session it was received with faint approval, while more recently we have heard over and over again that it might be all very well in its way, but that it could never answer, and besides it was too late to press it. Despite all these taunts and sarcasms, it has been so far advanced that it seems now a fact, and not a fiction, and this desirable attainment.is due to the determination and perseverance of those who had charge of it. It seems a fitting thing that, on the eve of a general election, the House should make some protest against the obnoxious practice of bribery and corruption, which has long been a stigma on our political representatives. To-night the Metropolitan Cattle Market Bill will again engage the attention of Parliament, and it is to be hoped that it will share the same success that has attended the Bribery Bill. In order that this should be allowed, it would be well if the Government took a decided tone from the first, and declared that the vexatious hindrances interposed tl e other night would not, if repeated, be permitted to seal the fate of the measure, for that they would persevere with it at any cost. We should hope that the extraordinary exhibition of factious manoeuvring that took place on Thursday had satis fied those who took a prominent part in it, and at any rate the comments that have been made upon it in all quarters since have shown them how it was appreciated and justly condemned. To settle a thing one way or another on the merits of the particular measure before the House is very well, but to proceed to expedients is always out of cha racter with an assembly like the House of Corn- No doubt common sense will come to the rescue, as it has often done before, and to-night will, in all probability, see the committee through its lao.irs. No valid reason has as yet been ad duced against the measure, and its opponents rest their arguments entirely on prejudice. Mona. Although the moribund Parliament has yet a brief lease of life remaining preparations for the great electioneering campaign have already com menced. Intending candidates are determined to lose no time in putting themselves forward, and preliminary meetings are being held, speeches de livered, and all the usual antecedents of a general election are at work. Tha new members that would be have this advantage over the of l members, that the latter are detained in London by the heavy arrears of the incomplete duties of the session, and accordingly their rivals secure. the first word for themselves by putting their views and intentions in the most; favourable light b,fore the new electors. Those defeated at the last election are encouraged by the introduction of a new element to try their luck again. Among these several addresses we occasionally meet with one which agurs well for the independence and ability of the speaker, and such is the case with the political confession of faith of Mr. Worms, an intending candidate for Sandwich. This gentleman went briefly over the topics of . the day, and separated the intrinsic merits of the disputed questions from their political to significance in a manner not likely to be very welcome to some of our party leaders. It was, he remarked, a little singular that Mr. GLADSTONE'S sudden energy re specting the disestablishment of the Irish Church THE SUN, LONDO \T , MONDAY EVENING, JULY 20, 1868. should be contemporaneous with his rival's am:s sion to the Premiership. Mr. Womts slyly sug gested that the disestablishment about which Mr. GLAD:;TONE was most anxiou3 was not that of the Church, but of the Ministry. " With fame in just proportion envy grows, The man that makes a character, makes foes." So quoted Mr. WORMS, and the man, he said, was Mr. DISREALI, who had risen by his own merit alone to his proud position, and no sooner had he gained it than men were found eager to drag him down. Coming to social questions, Mr. Worms very justly puts national education at the head of all, and we are glad to find him advoc:►ting a plan which we hope will find favour with the new Parlia ment. It is that no totally uneducated man should be employed iu the Government dockyards, arsenals, or other public establishments. Mr. \Vonus ob served that compulsion of that kind would not be felt; when it was thoroughly in force it would exer cise a most beneficial influence. If large employers of labour would follow the same plan the indirect influence brought to bear upon ignorant and indif erent parents would be very strong, and more powerful than any Act of Parliament could ever be. Now that the franchise is s') widely extended national education grows more important than ever, and the new electors will do well to see that they send to Parliament men who are really in earnest on this important question. " The race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong," and universal history fur nishes us with many examples of the successful re sistance of a small but united people against:superior numbers. It is very probable that we shall see another instance of thekind in the Paraguayan war. The South American Republics have already ac complished their independence at the point of the sword, but their work is not yet done. Half a century ago they threw off the Spanish yoke, but they have within the last few years been exposed to fresh dangers. Chili, after a prolonged struggle, defeated the aggressions of Madrid, and taught the haughty Spaniard that discretion was the bet ter part of valour, but Paraguay has had a trade, and a more prolonged struggle. Brazil, if not a more powerful enemy, is at least .nearer at hand. She can pour her troops into her weaker neighbour's territories, and can bring her whole strength to bear upon the task in hand. So resolute has been the resistance offered, so unflinching the spirit of the people, that Brazil has found it a heavy burden to maintain the war, and there is good reason to believe her people are heartily tired of it. With the Paraguayans the issue is of life or death, and surrender means national annihilation. They are fortunate in possessing a dictator of no ordinary firmness and courage. He has from the first plainly told the people that the struggle was a desperate one, and that they had better die an honourable death on the battle-field than live to be slaves in Brazil. The people, one and all, have responded to his appeal. Tire utmost unanimity has prevailed throughout all ranks, all classes, although some thing more than lip service was demanded from them, and the public burdens were heavy and ex hausting. Despite reverses and losses the same spirit is unflinchingly maintained, and by the latest accounts—uncertain and conflicting as they are— the Allies seem no nearer the final subjugation of the pliant little States than they were before the attack upon Humaita. All that confidence and assumption can do to advance a cause the Brazilians have done. Our information usually comes through their channels, and is often strangely at variance with facts. They spare no pains to damage their opponents, and if the war were fought on paper Brazil would long since have had the best of it. One of the latest rumours which have been set afloat is the enlistment of 4,000 women by LOPEZ to reinforce his army, a statement which had its origin only i❑ the active imaginations of the Brazilian reporters and the well-known patriotism of the Paraguayan women. Isolated cases have occurred of women joining the ranks, some of them from motives of personal affection, but they have been very rare and were entirely iudependent of any official cognisance. LOPEZ has resorted to no such desperate schemes ; he has men enough to harass the enemy and to prevent them gaining any definite advan tage. Humaita still stands, and the boasted ad vance of the Allied Fleet up the river has been as yet unproductive. Meanwhile, in Buenos Ayres the long-growing disaffection is making itself plainly heard, and it seems very probable that before long Brazil will have to fight the battle alone. Under these circumstances there is good hope that the EmrEitor , and his advisers may yet abandoa the useless struggle, and leave the Paraguayans to the enjoyment of their hard-won independence. Father Fischer, who was charged by the Em peror Maximilian to publish all the documents re lating to the Mexic in expedition, is at this moment in Vienna. lie is steadily proceeding with the work, and thinks it may be ready for publication in four or five months. The following letter has just been addressed by M. Thiers to the Emperor's printer, M. Plon, acknowlelg,ing the gift of a magnificent copy o f the "Commentaires de Napol6on, presented to him by this well-known editor :—" I shall place this splendid work in my library, on the same shelf as and next to the' Commentaires de Cesar,' which you have also edited ; and I might repeat to you what I replied to the late King of Prussia, when he pointed out to me at the Berlin Museum the statue of Napoleon, which he had had placed opposite to that of Caesar. I remarked, Napoleon will not have to complain of me, nor will Csar, sire.' The Earl of Derby presided on Saturday at a meeting of her Majesty's Commissioners for the Exhibi tion of 1851.

The official papers are at worli vigorously denying everything, and the independent prinks are equally active in supplying them with the raw material to work upon. The system of denial has given such encouragement to fabrication that the palmy days of the trade have come at last. The Spanish conspiracy, the South German Confederation, the Customs union with the Nether. lands, are rare delicacies which form an agreeable relief to the pi&es de risistance, the Eastern question, War with Prussia, and the coming difficulty respecting Rome. The Emperor should adopt one of three courses. I He should allow the papers to tell the truth, or should take no notice of their inventions, or should abolish them altogether. The nuisance Mtn,: culminate some time. We may shortly look for the Spitzbergen question, the Terra del Fuego difficulty, and the impend. in; war with Manchovria. If ridicule does not work reform, nothing will. La Lanterne is a worthy exception to the general rule. If it is false, let all credit be given to its impudence, for it seldom publishes rumours, but dashes fearlessly into minute statements of facts and the most daring comments on current events. La Lanterne is not always refined; but it never fails to be novel. This week it publishes a strange story in characteristic style. The inhabitants of the Com mune of St. Julien, near Metz, have complained that the showers of balls from the soldiers practising with the Chassepot prevent them working in their vine. yards. The military authorities have kindly replied that they will allow the vine-growers two days per week to till their ground ; but if they g o ou t on any other day it will be at their own risk. " Here," says La Lanterne,." you may buy land for a song, but it i 3 subject to constant bombardments. Those who coun tenance these shameful violatiOns of private rights call themselves the guardians of the people and their property, but those who protest against inoffensive agriculturists being shot down. they call communists." The Libert4 and one or two other papers ridicule this acquisition of a new right, the right of bombardment. But La Lanterne is the only journal which lives, and yet is edited with the most complete disregard to consequences. On the announcement that a life of Charlemagne is to be written by Napoleon 111., it expresses its desire to see a life of Napoleon by Charlemagne. On the publication of the twenty-fourth volume of the First Napoleon's correspondence, a com parison, which must be highly agreeable at Plombieres, is drawn between the Great and the Little. La Lanterne will be extinguished some day, beyond doubt. The extraordinary trial of which I sent you some de tails a few days ago has just terminated. The two accused women were found guilty of murder and robbery, and sentenced to penal servitude for life. Your readers will remember that the charge was brought against a girl named Fleutot, and her mother. The former murdered her mistress by suffocating her whilst in a bath, stole jewels, &c., of valve, and set the house on fire. Her mother was implicated in these charges. The calm ness and self-possession of the younger woman, her inge nuity in defending herself, the extraordinary narrative of her early life, and her -impassibility under sentence, render this one of the most dramatic tr:als ever known in France. The trial finally concluded by a tern. pest of indignation in court, caused by Fleutot smiling on the announcement of her sentence. The interpellation on the conduct of the Italian army during the campaign of 1866, which has been announced in the Florence Chamber by General ..Menabrea, has been very strangely received here. French sympathy in this case is altogether on the side of Frussi3. The discussion is indeed considered a washing of the dirty linen of both countries, but the weaker country cer tainly gets the greater part of the ridicule, and General La Marmora fares worst of all. The truth seems to me to be that Prussia is altogether in the wrong on this occasion. The Italian army did not, indeed, effect any great achievement during the campaign. But this is hardly the question. Italy stood by the terms of the alliance, after an offer from Austria to give up Venetia if she would remain neutral. The army might have done badly, but the nation did all that it could, and the reproaches of the Prussians are most ungenerous. Besides, it is by no means certain what would have been the result had the Austrian army of Venetia been employed in Bohemia. That the French should side with Prussia in a question of this kind proves that the relations between the allies of 1859 are at their worst. The new Egyptian loan has been favourably received here, albeit Egyptian securities are not as a rule so largely dealt in as in England. ~:-,~, THE WEATHER TABLE.-THIS DAY.

THE CAMP, SATURDAY, To-day closes the first week of the Wimbledon meeting of 18G8. Thus far the shooting has been good, dis cipline has been perfectly preserved, the attendance of visitors has been up to the average of former years, and the camp presents, with few exceptions, a clean bill of health. These are facts upon which the Council of the association, the Volunteers, and the public may justly con gratulate themselves. At a quarter to nine this morning the sixty competitors —winners in the first stage—for the Queen's Prize assembled in front of the council tent, and received the Government Whitworth rifles with which the final competition will be shot off, and at once busily occupied themselves with the important business of sighting. This will be continued on Monday, and the great event of the meeting brought to an issue on the following day. The highest score of 51 for the Ist stage, made by Drum-Major Hutchinson, Ist Gloucester, published in these columns yesterday, was one point less than that obtained by Captain Wright, 30th Cheshire, the winner of the silver medal and badge last year. The winners since 1862 have been Walton, 7th West Sussex, 40 points ; Wisher, 2nd Essex, 49 points ; Howard, Ist Suffolk, 47 points ; Edward Ross, London Scottish, 47 points; James, Queen's Westminster, 43 points ; Capt. Wright, 30th Cheshire, 52 points ; and Drum-Major Hutchinson, Ist Gloucestershire, 51 points. Four very interesting events found a place in the pro gramme to-clay, viz., the shooting' for the Irish Inter national Trophy, the China Challenge Cup, the Albert prizes, and the volley firing in connection with the Belgian Cap. The Irish Challenge Trophy is of the value of £5OO, to which is added a cup of the value of £5, and the competition, an annual one, is open to the best shot from each of the English, Irish, and Scotch twenties in the Enfield International Trophy, lately won by England at Edinburgh. The names of this year's marksmen are Captain Armstrong, Ist Lan cashire, representing Ireland ; Sergeant Plenderleith, Ist. Peebles, shooting for Scotland ; and Corporal Hepple stone, 20th Lancashire, for England. The China Chal lenge Cup is of the value of £525, and is presented by the volunteers in China for competition at 'Wimbledon by 'the home volunteers, £5O in specie being added by the National Rifle Association. The Belgian Challenge Cup, for volley firing, is presented by the Chasseurs Eclaireurs, of Brussels, and the Belgian visitors who were over here last year. The value of the prize is £lOO, the association adding £75, and the cup is held for the year by the officer commanding the winning battalion. The range is 400 yards, and the number of shots allowed five, both ranks kneeling. For the Albert Prize, of the aggregate value of £670, the competition is thrown operkto all nations, and shooting with any rifles in any position is permitted. The competitions to-day also included shooting for the " Any Rifle " Wimbledon Cup, the " Any Rifle " Association Cup, the Enfield Association Cup ; the first stage Windmill Prize, the Eley Prizes, and the Military Breech-loaders. With one of these latter weapons known as the " Carter-Edwards,' Sergeant Bott, Royal Marines, fired, this morning, in the three minutes allowed, 43 rounds, making 3 bull's eyes, 22 centres, 17 outers, and 2 misses. The total score of 108 was the highest yet recorded. The greatest number of points in the lst stage Alex andra 600 yards range, now closed, was obtained by Private Black, " Victorias," who took the £2O prize. Sergeant Parker (2nd Surrey), Sergeant Wright (6th Essex), Sergeant Davidson (Ist Roxburgh), and Private Smith (6th North York), made 18 points. The first two took £l5 prizes, tile last two £lO prizes. The lowest scores made were 15 points. For the China Cup the highest score was made by Sornersetshire, 283 points. Staffordshire came next, with 231 points ; Devonshire, 277 ; Middlesex, 275 ; Lan cashire, 275; Durham, 270 ; Yorkshire, 255.

The sitting members Mr. Powell (C.) and Mr. Gorst (C.) will most likely seek re-election. DEVONPORT.— Lord Eliot and Mr. Montague Chambers are not expected to offer themselves for re-election. The Western Morning News mentions the names of Mr. Thos. Brassey and Mr. J. R. Jeffery, of Liverpool, as probable candidates in the Liberal interest. OXFORD COUNTY.-Mr. Cartwright (L.) will become candidate for the county at the ensuing general election. Nonwicll.—A stormy meeting of the Liberals has de clared in favour of Mr. Warner and Mr. 'Ellett, two of the three Liberal candidates now before the electors. TOWER HAMLET& —ll.lr."Wig;rani and Mr. F. Green, ship owners, Mr. John Holt, brewer, Mr. John Charrington, chairman of the board of guardians of the Stepney Union, and others, each carrying on an extensive business in the borough, Lave been named as Conservative candidates. Wl:sr KENT.-Mr. Charles Henry Mills, of the well. known banking firm, will come forward in conjunction with Mr. John G. Talbot, for the new division of West Kent, in opposition to Sir John Lubbock (L.), and Mr. Angerstein (L.) LYMINCTON.—The Hon. Thomas Norton (L.) has addressed a meeting at the Angel Hotel ,when he announced his intention of again contesting the borough. He was very warmly received. MonrE - rir.—Sir George Grey (L.) has addressed his con stituents. Speaking on the Irish Church question, the hon. baronet defended the course which the Liberal party had taken. It was one surrounded by immense diffi culties and involved many and various interests, and required therefore great discretion, judgment, and moderation in dealing with it. Having alluded to the proposals of Mr. Pitt and the Government of Lord Melbourne, Sir George Grey admitted that what might at one time have proved a satisfactory settlement of the ques tion could not now be adopted, and that therefore he had not hesitated in giving his support to Mr. Gladstone's propositions. He trusted that in the reformed House of Commons the question would be approached and dealt with in the right spirit—the spirit of sympathy with the feelings of the majority of the people in Ireland. He did not, he added, share the apprehensions which had been expressed by many that the . disestablishment of the Church in Ireland must bring about a like disestablishment in England. A vote of confidence in the right hon. baronet was passed. NORTH WILTS.—The Marquis of Worcester (C.) has . announced that he will not proceed with his candidature against Lord Charles Bruce (L.) WAKEFIELD. A meeting of Liberal electors has declared in favour of Mr. Somerset Beaumont by a large majority. WESTMINSTER. Admiral Rous is spoken of as the second Conservative candidate. DUDLEY.—It has been rumoured that the Hon. Major Anson, at present M.P. for Lichfield, is about to contest the borough in the Liberal interest. The Conservatives will probably start a candidate. WAREHAM.—During the last few days another address has been issued, making the third candidate now before the constituency. The first was Mr. J. S. W. S. E. Drax (C.) ; the second from Mr. J. H. M. Ca'craft, the present Liberal member; and the third is from Mr. T. F. Fremantle (C.) Mr. Fremantle is brother-in-law of the Earl of Eldon, and will have the support of the Eldon estates. BEWDLEY.—It is rumoured that Mr. Lloyd is about to resign sooner than split the Liberal interest ; consequently the struggle between Sir Richard A. Glass (C.) and Mr. Hemming (L.) will be a severe one, the balance of power betwaen the Liberals and Conservatives being so nearly equal in this borough. ANOTIILR DEATH BY DROWNING IN AY DP PARiC — On Sunday forenoon the body of a man, named William Fitz;erald, a bricklayer, of 3, Crawford-street, Marylebone, Was dragged out of the Serpentine. On Saturday night lie had swum acrass the river, and was returning, when, within forty yards of the bank, he sank. The drags of the Royal Humane Society were used and the river searched until eleven o'clock at night, but the body could not be found. The search was resumed on Sunday morning. The body was found about eleven o'clock, and conveyed to St. George's dead-house. The statue of Lord Palmerston, to be unveiled at Romsey on Tuesday next by Earl Russell, has been placed on its pedestal in the centre of the market-place. The figure is of bronze, 9 feet high, and is from the foundry of Messrs. Prince and Co., of Southwark. On the pedestal are the words " Palmerston. Born 1784 ; died 1865." The like ness is considered admirable, and it is admitted by those persons who have heard his lordship when in his most animated mood, that Mr. Noble, the artist, has exactly caught the attitude he generally assumed at ruck times, the right hand slightly extended and partly open. A dispute between the operative joiners and car penters of Leeds and their employers, as to the rate of wags and the nitudwr of wo,king hours, has formed the :übj, ct of arbitration. Tho men and the masters, not leing able to agree, mutually referred the matters in dispute for settlement to Mr. Rupert Kettle, County Court Judge for Worcestershire, and that gentleman suc ceeded in bringing the matters in dispute to an sm;cablo settlement, but without himself giving a deciding vote. The masters werq. represented by eight dele gates of their own body, and the workmen by a like number of their own body. Concessions were made on each side, and a mutual understanding come to, which is to continue for two years. It was also agreed that for the future the Wolverhampton system of arbitration and conciliation shall be adopted, so as to bring disputes between masters and men to an amicable settlement. REMARKS. This morning a greater change in pressure than has occurred for some time is noticeable. readings shew a decrease in Scotland and in the south of France, while there is an increase in th e sou th o f England. The difference between Nairn and Weymouth is o'sln. Temperature had changed but little yesterday, but this morning it has risen gent rally. The winds, which on Sunday had drawn to the north-westward, and were fresh at Nairn, have this morning backed to the south-westward at many of our northern and western stations, but continue moderate. Elsewhere they are variable. Rain was reported from all our northern and western stations yesterday ,land a thunderstorm at Paris. This m orning the sky is overcast the north and west, with rain in places, but very fine weather prevails elsewhere. At last the new furlough rules have been issued. No ono but an Anglo-Indian absent from England for some eight or ten years can tell with how much eager ness they have been anticipated. We should think that they would prove satisfactory. Officers may obtain leave on an allowance of 50 per cent. of their pay and allowance up to a maximum of £1,200 per annum, the minimum being £250. Furlough for two years will be allowed without forfeiture of appointment. Officers will be eligible for two years'furlough after eight years service, to a third year after 14 years' service, and to a fourth after 20 years.' The aggregate amount of furlough, with pay and retention of appointment, is limited to eight years. Sick leave not exceeding one year will be granted on half staff salary. Privilege leave for GO days is allowed every year, without deduction of pay. All general leave in India is to count against service. Mr. Charles• Schreiber is afraid that the Bribery Bill will be rendered practically inoperative by an omission which he is anxious to remedy. lie calls attention to the fact that the municipal elections will take place just before the parliamentary. On the Ist of November the burgesses will vote for the "blue" and "yellow" council lors ; on the 9th the new mayors will be elected ; on the 10th or 11th they will receive the writs, and on the 14th or 15th the "blue" and " yellow" parliamentary candidates yin go to the poll in the English cities and boroughs. The result will be, he thinks, that councillors will bribe their constituents to vote for their respective parties, although the stringency of our new Act will divert all the corruption from the channel in which it will be attended with risk into that in which it may still be practised with impunity ; and thus the corrupt municipal elector who is now for the first time qualified to vote also for a member of Parliament will ba bribed in the municipal for his vote in both elections. From these results Mr. Schreiber sees no escape, except in throwing the municipal elections behind the parliamentary, as has already been done in Scotland, by postponing the first for one calendar month. The hon. member will propose a clause to thin effect on Wednesday next. The suggestion made is, per• haps, worth considering, as it may do good in many boroughs where party fights are still kept up. But the gradual elimination of general politics from muncipal elections which has taken place of late is hardbr lilisay to be observed next November, ROYAL A.GRICULTUPAL SOCIETY'S G. LEICESTER, Saturday. A show which haa taken £2,059 in two days, nearly another thousand pounds to-day, and will in all probability gather some three thousand pounls more in shillings on Monday and Tuesday, must be looked upon as one of the most successful iu the 30 years' history of the society. The number of visitors on the second half-crown day never does equal that of the first, but still the cooling shower of this morning has not operated against the influx of people from town and country ; each main point of interest in the show-ground has attracted so►ue- thing like a crowd ; especially has the spacious horse-ring been thickly suirouadel at parading time, and we hear that among the implements and machinery business has been lively. The railway managers have arranged for great days ou Monday and Tuesday, expecting to bring at least 40,000 persons to Leicester on Monday, when the solid work will begin for Inspector Baldray and his me- tropolitan constables of the A division, who always represent the interests of order at the society's meet- We have a famous show of horses. In the aged class of agricultural stallions, there was a close com petition between . Earl Beauchamp's Young Lofty and Mr. William Welcher's Honest Torn ; the lat ter, however, again wins the first prize, declaring him to be the best in England, while the Earl's horse is properly placed second. Li the two-year old class, Mr. Henry Hitchcock's Lion is first, Mr. J. Manning's Conqueror second, and her Majesty the Queen wins a third prize for her Clydesdale Sandy. In the aged class of Suffolk stallions Mr. W. Wilson's The President is first, and Mr. Thomas Crisp gains both the second and third prizes. For two-year-old Suffolk stallions Mr. G. D. Badhain is first, and Mr. W. Wilson second. Ten thorough-bred stallions suitable for getting hunters make a very creditable show. Sir George Cholmeley's Angelus, a splendid chestnut, is first, Mr. William Gulliver's Naseby is second, and Earl Spencer's General Hesse is third. In the class of stallions not less than 14 hands 2 inches, nor exceeding 15 hands 2 inches, suitable for getting hackneys, Mr. Charles Beart's Ambition is first, Captain Barlow's Lucifer is second, and a stallion of Mr. W. King is third. Of pony stallions under 14 hands 2 inches, Mr. Joseph Baldock's Little Jack Horner is first, and Mr. C. Groucock's King Arthur is second. Then is a good class of five-year old hunters, the prizes going to Mr. E. Hornby and Captain Heygate. In the still better four-year-old class, the first prize is won by Mr. John B. Booth's superb Brigadier, and the second ,goes to Mr. J. Drage. In the large and fine class of hunter mares, the first prize is won by Mr. John Byron, and the second by Captain Ileygate. For hackney mares Mr. F. Cook is first, and Mr. W. S. Woodroffe is second. Four-year-old hackneys are numerous, though not of very high general merit. Mr. Algernon Hack is first, and Mr. F. Wollaston second ; for cobs Mr. C. Groucock is first and Mr. J. IN arth is second ; for pony mares Mr. J. Warth is first and Captain Barlow second ; for agricultural mares Mr. IV. Tennant is first and Mr. J. G. Attw a . " s second; Mr. S. Wolton takes the first prize for a Suffolk mare and foal ; for agricultural fillies Mr. R. Marple is first, Mr. T. Baldwin second, and her Majesty the Queen third. For Suffolk fillies, Major F. M. Wilson wins both first and second prizes, and in a specially fine class. One of the best points in the show-ground this year is the arrangement of the machinery in motion department in two lines of shedding occupying the same relation to the other implement stands as head lands do to furrows in a field, so that every exhibi tor's machinery in motion is opposite or very close to his stand of other articles—a most convenient plan both for exhibitors and for visitors. The de partment of seeds, mo3els, and miscellaneous wares is also placed in a much better position than here tofore, and in the centre of the show-ground we pass through the avenues made by the long seed stalls of James Carter and Co., Sutton and Sons, and Thomas Gibbs and Co., never more interest ing or beautiful with specimens than on the present occasion. The principal objects among the machinery in motion are briefly summed up. We have Ransomes and Sims' new series of portable steam-engines, with large diameter cylinders, considerable improvements in other working parts, and water-heaters acting through double-barrelled feed pumps. Clayton and Shuttleworth's portable engines heat the feed water by taking a portion of the exhaust steam fur the purpose; their Bury priz3 fixed engine is shown, and the perfection of workmanship is such as may be looked for from the Lincoln works, which we are informed are actually sending out more than 900 steam-engines per year. A cluster of people is always congregated about Powis, James, and Co.'s spoke-making machine ; Charles Powis and Co.'s tying-up and planing machine is very clever, and valuable to joiners and builders. Brown and Lock show a low-priced portable engine, in tended to be serviceable, but avoiding the cost of high external finish. Riches and Watts exhibit the American heated-air engine ; A. Robinson shows the Hugon gas engine ; Tangye, Brothers, have a simply-constructed steam-pump, without crank-shaft, wheel, or any rotary motion. On Tux ford and Sons' stand we have a fine show of portable engines of one up to 20-horse power, the small engines being now used in innumerable ways for saving labour, and the adoption of the expansion principle in all, these engines insures the greatest possible economy in fuel. A cleverly contrived self -lifting horse-rake is shown by Maynard ; G. R. Cowen works an effective little rotary engine ; Garrett and Sons bring out a new straw-stacker or elevator, with canvas web as well as forks. Mars den and Co. perform wonders with their American stone-breaking machine ; Ruston, Proctor, and Co. show a number of well-made portable engines and thrashing-machines ; Hornsby and Sons have an extensive show of their highly-finished engines and thrashing machines ; Barrows and Stewart have a new windlass for steam cultivation, in which one drum is lowered out of gear and the other lifted into gear simultaneously by a crank axle movement. Brown and May have a new condensing water heater at tached to the side of their portable engine boiler, by which a large percentage of fuel and of water, too, is saved, and yet the makers price their engines no higher than before. On Appleby Brothers' stand is a wonderfully ingenious rock-boring ma chine, driven by a rotatory steam engine. Amies, Barford, and Co. have brought out a straw, hay, or corn stacking machine, carrying the stuff to a very great height, and being driven either by a belt from an engine or thrashing machine, or handpower, or by a horse walking round and round underneath the elevator. This is a remarkably well contrived and portable machine, saving a great deal of time as well as labour in operation. Norton and Co.'s tube wells have made quite a sensation by piercing into the arid soil of the show-ground and bringing up abundant and refreshing supplies of cold water—in some places failing, but succeed ing where the tube finds a " sand craw " in the clay ; so that one of the popular drinks throughout the yard is this " Abyssinian water." We cannot pretend to describe the 337 well-filled stands of implements, machines, and various arti cles, but may mention a few. We have never seen at any previous meeting anything like so large and valuable an assortment of tools and mechanism manufnAured by the exhibitor as the four hundred articles here shown by Hunt an 1 Pickering, of Leicester. Nicholson, of Newark, has a very fine stand of haymakers, horse-rakes, &e. J. and F. Howard, of Bedford, exhibit, in wonderfully great variety, the horse anal steam power field imple ments for which they arc so celebrated—in deed, this firm has evidently exerted every effort to support the high character of the mechanical part of the Leicester show—Burgess and Key's reapers ; John Fowler and Co.'s steam-tillage implements for effecting almost every opera tion, and almost enabling the farmer to work his land without horses; Picksley and Sims' feeding house machinery ; Ashford's carriages, including the fascinating new " Canoe" waggonette, with overhead eat_opy (a quite novel invention) ; ings. Bryan Coreoran's ingeniou3 new instrument for dressing millstones without a handbill ; F. C. Matthews and Sons' feeding-cake, composed of ground and pressed corn ; the Drifficld Company's pure linseed oilcake, manufactured and guaranteed by farmers, and with such thorough success that no less than 63,000 qrs. of the finest linseed are said to be annually used by the company ; Ransoines and Sims' very large and fine collection of the im plements, machines, and mills for which this firm is eminent ; the admirable stand of thoroughly strong and cheap implements and machines of Woods, Cocksedge, and Warner, &c.—these and numbers of other stands have their groups of visi tors and customers. But it would require weeks to find out everything that is novel in application or an improvement i❑ detail. Ulci 7 l), tAA4-..y • -14 3 .: 4 HER MAJESTY. OSBORNE, July 18.

SOUTHAMPTON, July 20. The North German Lloyd steamer Deutschland, from New York, passed the Needles at 11.45 a.m. to-day. SPAIN. MADRID, July 20. It is stated in political circles that the Duke de Montpeusier, feeling affronted at the steps taken against himself arid his consort, has determined to renounce his position, as an Infant of Spain, his rank as Captain-General in the army, and all his Spanish dignities and decorations. Numerous secretly printed pamphlet; containing violent articles against the Queen, are in circula tion in Madrid and the provinces. FRANCE. PARIS, July 18. The Moniteur of this morning reprints the fol lowing communique, published in the lemps yes terday : " The Journal le Temps, in its impression of the 12th July, reproduced a notice of the Ministry of the Interior, inserted in the Moniteur of the 11th instant, announcing that MM. the Baron Emile von Erlanger and Julius Reuter, in consequence of a notification of tender, had been declared conces sonaires of a submarine telegraphic line for the pur pose of connecting France with the United States of America." The Temps appends to this note a stetem ant pub lished by the London Daily News, in which it 1 8 asserted that a prior concession has been granted , on the 17th ult., by the Mnistry of the Interior, to M. Eugene Delessert and Mr. William Blackmore. The 7emps added that an explanation appeared ;o be necessary. The explanation is very easy. MM. Delessert and Black - more have obtained no concession Iron the Minister of the Interior. They had in their hands, on the 17th June, a simple draft of convert" tion, which was neither signed nor approved, and which consequently could. not confer upon them any right. MM. Delessert and Blackmore themselves Per- fectly understood the state of the case. Two sue' cessive adjudications, at which they were invited to be present, were held on the 29th June and the 6th July without any protest whatever on their part having been made in the interval. It is therefore incomprehensible that these gen' amen can now raise claims which are unauthorised , and to maintain which they can adduce no title.

SINS REEVES AND ENCORES.—MT. Reeves, who steadily opposes the custom, is frequently made aware of the views of his audience upon til l° point. Last autumn he underwent cosnsiderab l° insult in Manchester because he declined to ill peat a ballad. He had yielded to the first Lis; he civilly repudiated the second, being tired, and being further alive to the peril of exerting a throat so SO' sitive as his own. The Mancunians persisted in the ell" core ; Mr. Sims Reeves held out with equal resolution' Ho at first declined the compliment ; ho now stood out on the justice of the case, and refused the demand. Th e Mancumans breke out into an uproar ; they hissed, tb°l yelled, they drove from the platform the succeeding singer - a lady—until she retired in tears ; they ultimate l y broke up the concert. Why? Simply because Mr. Sir D ,l Reeves objected to give them double what he had stipulat es " by contract to perform. Ho had bargained to sing t vr° songs ; his audience asked four at the same price. 214°Y had the right to ask it, but they had not the shadow of 11 right to enforce the claim, or even to feel aggrieved if g r ' Reeves declined. You may offer half price for any article of commerce if you please, but you are not privileged tc :, insult the vendor if he bo ws you ou t o f th e shop.
