LONDON, FRIDAY, OCT. 30, 1868. Among the new candidates who are now present ing themselves in such abundance before the various constituencies throughout the United Kingdom for election to the Reformed Parliament, there are a se lect few who, strictly speaking, can hardly be called new candidates. They are, rather than that, old and honoured representatives of the people who evi dence an eagerness to return to public life, here in the midst of us, by seeking admission anew to the scene of their former successes as Parliamentary notabilities within the walls of the House of Commons. Conspicuous among them, there is one whose name—during that interval of thirty years which has elapsed since his disappearance from the Parliamentary arena—has been rendered illustrious and historical by his emi nent career as a diplomatist, and more especially by that career of his having been marked by more than one memorable diplomatic achievement. When we hesitate not to describe the candidate we are here re ferring to as beyond all comparison in the popular view the greatest English diplomatist now living—the " Great Eltchi" of Mr. KINGLARE'S History of the Crimean War, having long closed his brilliant career by virtually retiring from the political arena—it will be understood upon the instant, as clearly as though his name had already been specified, that allusion is made to no other than Sir HENRY LYTTON &LIVER, now one of the three Liberal candidates who are at present before the constituency of Tamworth, for the selection of two of them as the borough representa tives. Fully thirty years, as we have said, have elapsed since Sir HENRY BULWER was last a member of the British House of Commons. Ile had then, although still i❑ his jeunesse doree, acquired some six or seven years Parliamentary experience—before his with drawal altogether from the Legislature for the dedica tion of his energies, thenceforth, exclusively to the diplomatic service of the Crown. He had entered the Home of Commons for the first time as far back as 1830, when he took his seat as member for Wilton. The year previously he had entered the diplomatic ser vice, namely, in 1829, having been attached succes sively to the British Embassies at Berlin, at Brus sels, and at the Hague—being despatched, moreover, upon a special mission of considerable delicacy and importance, to Brussels in 1830, for the purpose of watching, there athead-quarters, the course taken by the Belgian Revolution. From 1831 to 1832, he sat in the House of Commons as member for Coventry. And from 1834 to 1837, as member for the great metropolitan borough of Marylebone. Within that interval of his being M.P. for Marylebone, viz., in 1835, Sir HENRY BUTNER was oppointed Sec retary of Legation and Charge d'Affaires at Brussels —in 1837, upon his withdrawal from Parliament, being appointed Secretary of Embassy at Constan tinople. Remembering the fact last mentioned— taking note of that date, 1837—one sees at a glance that his personal knowledge and experience in re gard to all the complications of the Eastern Question extend back now over a period of upwards of thirty years—giving him the most perfect mastery of that question, of any man now living, always excepting, of course, Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE, but bear ing in mind always, at the same time, that Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE has, so to speak, retired upon his laurels. At Constantinople, in his capa city as Secretary of Embassy, Sir HENRY BUL WER inaugurated his career, there in the East, by negotiating the Commercial Treaty between the Sublime Porte and England. Ap pointed in 1839 Secretary of the Embassy at Paris, he was, within a very brief interval, no less than three times gazetted as Interim Minister at the French Court, during the temporary absence of the Ambassador. So acquitting himself of the responsibilities which thereby devolved upon him, as fully to justify the confidence reposed in him by the Government. It was in 1843 that he first be came Minister Plenipotentiary—the Court of Madrid being the scene of his first full embassage. Within a year from his appointment as Ambassador he had been the means of effecting an honourable peace between Spain and Morocco. During the turmoil of 1848, Sir HENRY BULWER'S summary expulsion rom the Spanish capital, at the arbitrary instance of NARVAEZ, because of the British Ambassador's supposed complicity in conspiracies then said to be afoot against the Spanish Government, is matter of history not soon to be obliterated from the national remembrance. The resentment felt by England in regard to this extraordinary indignity was conspicu ously evidenced by the refusal of our Government during two years to appoint any successor to the eminent representative of the Sovereign, who had been thus most unjustifiably expelled from Madrid by the arbitrary act of the Soldier-Minister of ISA BELLA 11. It was then that, as a mark of her MAJESTY'S sense of his high services, Mr. BULIVER was created by the QUEEN a Knight Grand Cross of the Bath—the House of Commons unanimously ap proving his conduct, without one dissentient voice being audible during the discussion. Eventually at the end of the two years already mentioned—as the world " hath writ its annals"—the Spanish Govern ment made the amende in a document the terms of which were dictated by Lord PALMERSTON. After wards Sir lIENnY BULWER went as Ambas sador to Washington, where, under hi:: auspices, there was ratified on the 4th of July, 1850, the now historical Bulu•er-Clayton Treaty, by which Sir HENRY, on behalf of the British, and Mr. CLAYTON, on behalf of the Ame rican Government, declared that neither should obtain exclusive control over the proposed ship canal through Central America, or erect fortifica tions in any part of the country. Two years after wards, in 1852, he was appointed Envoy Extraordinary at the Grand Ducal Court of Tuscany, bolding that post until the commencement of 1855, and in 1857 pro ceeding as Ambassador to Constantinople. The diplomatic career of Sir HENRY BULWER is, we cannot but think, especially worthy of being recalled thus briefly to popular remem brance, now that he proposes, with all his im mense diplomatic experience, to re-enter Parliament as one of the people's representative. As a Liberal politician he has, throughout the whole of his career, remained unwaveringly consistent. His knowledge of the Eastern Question, his Ameri can experience, his Spanish experience, his intimate acquaintance with our diplomatic relations, here with France, there with Germany, above all—ending where we began—his complete mastery of that most vitally important of all questions diplomatically speaking, the great and paramount question but just now spoken of as the Eastern Question—all these considerations together, but that one in particular, cannot but lead us to hope most earnestly that the appeal which is now being made by Sir HENRY BUL WER to the constituency of Tamworth, will not have been made in vain, but that the Liberal electors there, by securing his services as one of their representatives, will, in a higher sense, add another truly Representa tive Man to the very few really Representative Men who, at rare intervals, are returned to Parliament. LIBERAL candidates will make a very great and grievous . mistake if they pledge themselves to vote against either compulsory education or an education rate. If we are not greatly mistaken, both those measures will very shortly be a portion of the Liberal creed. The objections which have been raised hitherto are worthless. The old " stupid" argument about the liberty of the subject will be heard, no doubt, wherever country squires address bucolic audiences. Their argument in behalf of a man's right to be ignorant is on a par with the argument of the everyday-diminishing number of opponents to the Permissive Bill, who insist upon a man's right to get drunk. The State can recognise neither right. The drunkard is a public nuisance and a public injury. He makes the streets unsafe for women, disagreeable for men ; he beggars his family, brings them upon the rates, and robs the ratepayers. He must be put down, and as punishment will not put him down we must try prevention. Simi larly with regard to the ignorant man. He, too, is a public nuisance and a public injury. Ignorance is the mother of crime. It breeds poverty, vagabondage, theft. It is incumbent upon the State to get rid of this brood by getting rid of its parent. The drunkard must be sobered by " Act of Parliament." The ignorant must be edu cated by " Act of Parliament." The Legislature fails of its duty if it does not accomplish these tasks ; fails as much as if it did not put down fraud by " Act of Parliament." In the parliamentary interference with ignorance there is a consideration which does not weigh with regard to drunkenness. It will cost nothing to put down the second ; it will cost a good deal to put down the first. The prohibition of the liquor traffic will be all gain to the nation, even from the pecuniary point of view. The education of pauper children will involve a somewhat heavy pecuniary charge. It is on this ground that Conservative candidates are promising the farmer that they will not sanc tion the placing of this charge upon the rates. CandidateS say, and say truly, that local rates have increased of late years, and are now unduly onerous ; and it is not altogether surprising if, in order to catch votes, they pledge themselves against any increase. But Liberal candidates must not fall into the same blunder. They must leave to their oppo nents the humouring of prejudices ; it is for them selves to look forward, to have a far-seeing eye, and, at the risk of temporary defeat, to educate the country to the duty of teaching its poor—a duty as inevitable in a near future as it is clear in the immediate present. There are two points to be insisted on. First, it must be boldly announced that, no matter what the cost may be, it is the nation's duty to educate its poor. The poor, being without any guardians save the nation, have the right to look for protection against disease and against ignorance. The first is already granted to a great extent by our humane sanitary laws, by the laws for draining our towns, for regulating lodging-houses, and the like. The second is partially granted by the Factory Acts, which insist upon the education of all children engaged in factories, workshops, and mines, and are soon to be extended to agriculture. But these Acts have to be supplemented by a law which will protect the class that needs protection most of all—the children without employment. To them the State owes a duty which at present is done only imperfectly, neces sarily so, by the promoters of ragged schools. Having insisted upon the performance of this duty, the Liberal candidates should go on to shew that performing it is to the nation's advantage. Not immediately, perhaps. At first the rates will be heavier, for it will take some time to civilise the race of street Arabs. But in a few years we shall see the difference. The generation that, but for our inter position, would have grown up to swell the great army of criminals—that army which costs us millions sterling yearly in gaols and courts of justice, as well as in actual loss of property—this generation will have joined the army of honest workers. Instead of enlisting in the ranks of the destructives, as now, the children of the poor will enlist in the ranks of productives. If we do not reap the benefit, our successors will ; if we have to pay somewhat higher rates, our successors will pay much lower. We have spoken of compulsory education and educational rates as though the second followed the first. There is, perhaps, no necessary sequence, yet we believe it will occur. There are some reasons why the present central system would be preferable. Especially would it be so because of the possible, and, indeed, only too probable parsimony of paro chial financiers. The shameful condition of some of our workhouse infirmaries, with their "econo mical " arrangements of imbecile pauper nurses, may well lead us to fear that parochial schools will be inefficiently managed. On the other hand, we doubt if the country will be content to see the present central organisation greatly extended. If it is decided that ' every child shall go to school, the increase of schools will be so large that it will possibly not be either prudent or practicable for the Imperial Government to undertake the charge of them. Moreover, a new element will be introduced into our educational arrangements. At present schools are founded voluntarily, and the State assists them ; but hereafter the State will have to insist on schools being founded, and then the means of providing funds will have to be considered, and that will involve the religious question, which must be referred to the locality concerned. The whole matter is a very large one, by no means to be dismissed in a single article. We can only end as we began, by warning candi dates who wish to take a statesmanlike view of the future, instead of merely flattering the prejudices of the electors, that they will do well not to declare themselves against compulsory education or educa tion rates. GOLDEN-TRESSED ladies beware ! A great peril besets you. Your tresses are golden in more than one sense of the word. They are golden to look at, they are worth their weight of gold to sell. Hence covetous eyes are cast upon them ; hence we have a new " Rape of the Lock." The BELINDA of the period betook herself a few days ago to a hairdresser's. The hairdresser proved a hair stealer—a regular poacher, in fact, He snipped off a fine curl, and sent his client away shorn of so much of " the glory of a woman." But hair dressers are clever. They have need to be in these days, when baldheaded dames go into society with pyramids of hair large enough to supply half a dozen decent, sober wigs. BELINDA, therefore, did not dis cover her loss at first ; did not find it out, we sus pect, until she began to " do" her hair previously to retiring to her rosy (or carmined) slumbers. Great was her wrath. When at length indig nation had been relieved by tears, anger gave place to revenge, and the owner of the ravished lock determined to punish her ravisher. The thought of vengeance is sweet. It enabled BELINDA to sleep, and she awoke in the morning pre pared for every emergency. Once more she went through the process of " doing " her hair, and though the missing tress caused a grievous pang, she bravely suppressed the rising sob, and placed upon her head one of the false ringlets which formed part of her ordinary head costume. Armed with this snare, she went again to the hairdresser's, sub mitted herself with beating heart once more to the treacherous scissors. Snip, snip, went the coiffeur, nothing loth ; and, as she had anticipated, snip went the false lock. The thief had fallen into the trap, and straightway despoiled, clever, BELINDA betook herself to a magistrate and asked for a summons against the criminal. The case seemed clear enough to BELINDA, but to the magistrate by no means clear. Such a case had never come under his notice before. How was he to tell if the hairdresser had not accidentally cut off the missing lock, or, if not accidentally, had not thought that it ought to come off in order to make it grow stronger ? This perplexity and doubt were intolerable to BELINDA. It was so plain to her that the coiffeur was a thief, that she could not understand how there could be any second opinion upon it. Eloquently she enforced her view of the case, and at last the magistrate advised her to sue her injurer in the county court for the value of the missing ringlet. This is not a satisfactory termination, even should BELINDA win her suit. The shareholders of the Merchants Company may not see the difference between a civil action and a criminal prosecution, but BELINDA is clearer sighted, and what she wants is, not the value of her tress, for which no money can repay her, but the punishment of the trespasser.

CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, THURSDAY, OCtQlny29. English politics attract a good deal of attention here, in the absence of important Continental topics, and on the eve of the general election. Mr. Gladstone astonishes the French by his fecundity. They cannot understand how " a silent people " can delight in these immense harangues. Mr. Bright's speeches they consider marked by an eloquence sauvage " difficult to be understood in France." Why "the powerful Reform agitator" does not adopt a more courteous tone is a problem which is disposed of by the reflection that Mr. Bright's manner suits those whom he addresses. Mr. Disraeli receives much open admira tion—not for his virtues, but for his finesse. The man who could keep in power so long with such a small force at his back, and could successfully execute the great coup de theatre of 1867, is clear above all to the French. Most of the papers support the disestablishment of the Irish Church : the Liberal journals because it is a Liberal measure ; the official papers because they are Roman Catholic. I find the excellent hit of Mr. Newton, who imagined the Irish Church with its twelve bishops and 1,500 clergymen transferred to the Tower Hamlets—the inhabitants of which are as numerous as the Irish Protes tants—very generally quoted. The papers are all discussing " the" Map. Their com ments may be summarised very briefly : they are all laughing at it. The idea of Algeria being an addition to the effective strength of France, of North Germany being less powerful than the old Confederation, and of France being the gainer by the events of 1866, are too ridiculous even for the official papers. Strange that the Govern ment should degrade itself by these shallow attempts to impose upon its people. Queen Isabella, her husband, Afarfori, Claret, Patroctnio, and their suite, numbering forty-five persons, will arrive in Paris on the 6th of November. The Memorial Diploma ague says that her Majesty is not going to Brighton. The Count and Countess Girgenti have retired to Eng. land for a few months, in order to make it understood that they do not intend to interfere in any way with the course of events in Spain. The report that Queen Isabella was going to Brighton arose from the address "S. A. R. Isabel," being on the baggage of the Queen's daughter and son-in-law. The Queen, says this journal, will continue in France until the decision of the Constituent Cortes be made known. She is about to quit the Chateau of Pau in consequence of the "respectful representations" of the French Government—which, it is to be presumed, has also received " respectful representa tions" from Madrid. The budget of the Memorial Diplomatique is not yet exhausted. It affirms that Prince Napoleon really did go to Turin to sound King Victor respecting the candidature of the Duke of Aosta. He took this course on account of the pressing solicitation of General Prim. This story has not much of the air of probability about it. Why should General Prim solicit Prince Napoleon in particular, and why should the latter consent to undertake this delicate office ? Rossini, who has been ill for some time, is worse. A consultation of medical men, among whom were Professor Nelaton and Dr. Barthe, was held yesterday morning at Passy. The patient was declared to be free from inflam mation, but so exceedingly weak as to cause great anxiety. He is 76 years of age. A man at Brest has been condemned to death for the murder of his wife. After hearing the sentence he threw away a dagger which he had concealed upon his person, saying that he should have committed suicide had he been sentenced to hard labour for life. THE WEATHER TABLE.-THIS DAY. METEOROLOGICAL REFORM SIB JOHN PAKINGTON AT FIRM-TWICE: Sir 3. Pakington addressed the electors of Droitwich on Thursday night. After an elaborate reply to Mr. Glad stone's charge of extravagant expenditure against the Government, he came to the Irish Church question, and declared that he would be no party to attacking the Protestant institutions of England.. He deplored the unworthy manner in which the subject had been brought before Parliament, and contended that it should be ap• proached in a calm and patriotic spirit, and not be made, as it had been by Mr. Gladstone, a subject for a party manceuvre. Mr. Gladstone had been going about the country declaiming in most violent language on this subject, without regard to facts or expo• rience. He read extracts from Mr. Gladstone's Lan cashire speeches, and said he was a man who stood alone in the power of tergiversation. He had sat in Parliament with him for thirty years—now with him as a Tory, now opposite to him as a Radical. At one time he was heard ably supporting the Established Church, and now he was pronouncing its destruction. At the close of the meeting a vote of confidence in Sir John Paking;ton was unanimously passed. CAPTAIN SHERARD OSBORN ON THE NAVAL EXPENDITURE. Captain Sherard Osborn, who is au fait on the matter of naval expenditure, writes to a gentleman in Sheffield on the subject. His fear is that the Conservatives will persuade the working men of Sheffield that an extrava gant naval expenditure is good for their own interests. He says : " I am not astonished at any tales spread by those in favour of our present wasteful expenditure on useless war-ships and fortifications, but I am at the men of Sheffield not seeing and appreciating their value. If Sheffield dealt in wooden ships or stonework forts, I think they would have good grounds for voting Tory, as I think, with a reformed Parliament and Reformers in office, their business would be in danger, and the taxpayers proportionately happy. But all I can say, so far as my own views are concerned, is this, that from the year 1850 I have been teaching and writing in favour of armour plating and rifled guns. Had I been listened to after the Crimean war, from 10 to 15 millions thereby wasted on wooden ships would have beedsaved to the navy ; and if I had my way at present, instead of some 15 millions now being spent on fixed fortifications, with little patches of iron, called shields, over the guns, I would for less, far less money, turn out a squadron of monitors, carrying turrets invulnerable to existing cannon, and give the country what she is still without—a good means of coast defence. I dare say you observed Lord Henry Lennox's asser tion the other day, that we had three armoured ships on foreign stations. You will smile when I tell you that these so-called armoured ships are vessels of wood exposing a huge area of target to the arms of precision of to-day, and that the only armour they can boast of is a narrow bell along the water-line, and a patch over the centre of the ship's side ; all the rest is as vulnerable and inflammable as wood, pitch, and paint can make such war-ships. Worse still, a large portion of the money voted for shipbuilding is still being spent on such craft, because men will not break away from the traditions of the past in the form of their fighting ships, and still insist on the ironclads of to-day resembling as nearly as possible the navies of past times. And there are those who find it to their interest to pander to such weaknesses. I want to combine efficiency with economy, and to use more iron and steel, and less wood, in our navy. You and your friends can therefore judge how the policy of the naval reformer is likely to serve 03 damage Sheffield." THE .RIGHT HON. W. N. MASSEY ON INDIA. Manchester has had a sermon on India from the Marquis of Salisbury, the former Secretary of State for that empire. -Now the Right Hon. W. N. Massey comes forward at Liverpool and gives his views on the same subject. The former, however, had ceased to be a " party man," and what he said was greeted with approval. Mr. Massey, on the other hand, is the Liberal candidate for Liverpool, and spoke to a number of political opponents. Said opponents were by no means willing to let him have it all his own way. His speech, therefore, was interrupted continually. The topics on which he touched were railways in India, the great irrigation works, and cotton growing. He prefaced his remarks on these subjects by an apology for the annexation policy which had formerly been the rule. "In the province of Oude, for instance, we ex hausted every effort to maintain the native rule, and it was only when they found the vices of the rule incorrigible, and the people suffering the utmost misery from the lawless tyranny which oppressed them, that the English Government removed that unworthy ruler, and supplied in his place a representative of the British Crown." In Mysore the same wish to maintain the native rule was evinced. As to the railway system, "they could now travel by express from Calcutta to Delhi, 1,100 miles. The railway was being pushed on to Amballah, at the foot of the Himalayas. Tho line from Alla habad to Bombay was one of the greatest marvels of engineering art. The development of the railway system was not only conducive to the inte rests of commerce, but it had produced an astonishing effect upon the social habits of the people, and had done more to connect the natives with the British race, and to abolish the prejudices and distinctions of caste, than any other measure which was ever conceived. Amongst the re volutions which were due to the institution of railways *, none was more valuable than this breaking down of caste. Mahomedans and Hindoos now thronged the third-class carriages indiscriminately. He feared he had dealt with the subject of railways until he had wearied their patience, but he must further say that the Indian Government were now engaged in laying out railways in every part of India, so that the produce, not only the developed, but the still undeveloped produce, of India should find its way to the seaboard with as great a facility as the produce of Europe did in this day. They were about to establish these rail ways without any regard to their cost. But the capitalist, Mr. Massey went on to say, would profit by them. Then, as to irrigation, that had engaged the foremost attention of the Government in India during the whole period that he was engaged in the administration of its affairs. India had a watershed which was not exceeded by that of any country in the world ; but bordering on its enormous iver were arid plains, and if the monsoons did not take place at the proper time the whole produce of those plains was consumed and died away, and the people were left to starve, for the calamity of drought was of the same gigantic proportions in India as distinguished everything else in that country. They might consider, then, how great was the sense of obligation in the mind of the Indian Government to adopt means for guarding against this dreadful infliction on that large portion of the human race for whose lives and safety they were responsible, when he told them that they were prepared to raise millions of money in order to utilise the Indian rivers, and make them chan nels for irrigating those arid plains, and so guard against the vicissitudes of the seasons upon which the lives of the people of India now depended. With regard to cotton, the Indian Government had done all in their power to foster the growth of a staple so valuable. They bad, on the occurrence of the American war, organised a staff of experienced gentlemen to instruct the people of India in cultivating and preparing the staple for market but the Indian cultivator at the time of the cessation of the American war, three years ago, was under the impres sion that cotton would flow in from the Southern States of America as before, and that there would be no demand for his production. They had now found out their mistake—they had found that the produce of the Southern States was not, and probably never would be, what it had been ; and the Indian cultivator, who, as he had said, had a pretty keen eye to his own interests, was now satisfied that he would consult his own interests by continuing to supply the English markets with the staple they required. There was one dis trict, Hingaughaut, with great capacity for producing cotton, which would vie with any sample that came into the English market. Mr. Gladstone's Lancashire speeches (seven in number) are being printed in a form suitable for wide circulation. They are expected to be in the booksellers' hands on Monday and Tuesday next. Captain Vivian, M.P., is suffering from an acci dent of some severity. A few weeks since, on the north coast of Cornwall, he was climbing over rocks, and, having no shoes on, the sole of one of his feet was cut by a mussel. Due attention to the wound was unfortunately neglected, and its injurious effects extended to a considerable portion of the leg, necessitating rest and medical care at Pencar row, the residence of Lady Molesworth. A surgical ope ration being deemed necessary, the patient has returned to his town residence in order that the operation may be per formed by his own surgeon.— Western Morning Noes. ERRORS OF SPEECH.-- One often hears spoken and sees written, and that by fairly educated people, the word " suppositious." There is no such word in the Eng lish language ; what is meant is " supposititious." There is also a good deal of misapprehension abroad about the meaning of the word " plastic." I have seen it used in print as if it meant capability of being moulded, instead of power to mould. It is not the clay of the potter, but the potter's hand that is plastic. So when we speak of Shakspeare's " plastic mind," we ought not to mean as an English review did in using the term the other day, that Shakipeare's mind was moulded by circumstances, but that he had the power to fashion whatever fell in his way to the pattern that pleased him best,—Caisen afayazfith ofi r „,,, T ar t stanlzt HER MAJESTY.

The energetic lessee of this very popular place of amusement took his benefit on Tuesday evening' when he was honoured with an overflowing atten ante of visitors. Prior to the commencement of O d entertainment a great number of visitors inspected the splendid Crystal Saloon which Mr. Holland h as just completed for the gratification of his patroo' The noble apartment is most elegantly decorated, the colours being in perfect harmony, and tb ,,, introduction of gold into the devices the whole a very splendid appearance.

CONSERVATIVE DEMONS7RATION AT BIR2III.NGHAM. A meeting of the friends of the Liberal-ConSer vative candidates was held on Wednesday eve ni t . The Town-hall was as crowded as on the ° 1 D, when Mr. Bright met his supporters. Mr. Doodman (partner of the late Mr. Scholefield , presided. He was supported by the Ho' an e fb Rev. G. M. Yorke, a numerous ar ray of "0, clergy, and many members of the Town Conn° d Messrs. Lloyd and Evans were enthusiasticalll re ceived. In the course of his speech Mr. LLOYD PIP; You are reminded by Mr. bright that fron t year 1760 to the year 1828 was a period of poli tl s i darkness. Well, it was a period of great pol itic o suffering. Our country was engaged in a gig struggle for dear life with the greatest gene r tio modern times, having at his beck and call the arw„a of almost the whole of Europe; but if liberty Po enlightenment did not in all respects progre ss so fast as we could have wished them to do, it W at least an age not unfruitful for great memories to this country. It was an age that gave us a Chstill o a Pitt, a Burke, a Gratt an , a W e llington, a n Nelson. (Applause.) It was an age that ga lte io , also a Huskisson, to inaugu ra t e aga i n those P r ' re , ciples of tree trade in which Willi am Pitt hai l) , ;v e viously failed. It was also an age when our in, country grew from being a petty kingdom to 13 ° 0 1 e , a gigantic empire. (Hear.) We are told, ge es t men, and with truth, of the oppression of the 1131 Act, and the exclusion of the Catholics fr° o power, and the exclusion of the Dissenters fr°, some offices unless they would make a C -e r t o declaration. I disapprove those acts just as n3 O O as our opponents do. (Applause.) But wil° ho it that wanted to repeal the Test Act ?

Lloyd went on to discuss at great lengO bo of course of factory legislation, his rbject being to: the that Mr. Bright and his friends had oppos ed r e. benevolent efforts of Lord Shafterbury in tvu° , l oo spect. He concluded—Two issues are befo re , the in this contest. The one is small and 10e 01, 0 0 other is important and general.

Barometrical pressures have increased at all stations since last Barometrical pressures have increased at all stations since last evening, and readings are now high in southern districts ; the change during the last twent3 -four hours has bean greatest in the north-- exceeding half an inch at Aberdeen. However, at Nairn the reading is still nearly seven-tenths of an inch less than at Brest. Tempera ture has risen in the N. and W., but at southern stations it is lower. Gales from the westward prevailed yesterday on the southern and western coasts, and at Yarmouth. A continuance of fresh westerly winds is reported on the Irish coast, but in the Channel the wind has moderated. In the S. of the Bay of Biscay it continues fresh from the S.W. Some rain has fallen in the S. and W. The weather is generally cloudy. Hail is reported from Liverpool, ELECTION INTELLIGENCE - o -- FINSBURY.—Mr. Cox, who was defeated at the last elec tion, has issued an address. He is in favoui of the disen dowment and disestablishment of the Irish Church, and of the equalisation of poor rates. He is a supporter of the ballot, of short Parliaments, and of fair and, as nearly as possible, of equal electoral districts. There are now four Liberals and one Conservative in the field. HACKNEY.--it is stated that Mr. Locock Webb, of the Chancery Bar, who was unsuccessful at Bodmin at the last election, has determined to contest Hackney in the Conser vative interest. He will immediately issue his address. BOSTON.—Mr. Thomas Parry, the sitting Liberal mem ber, has retired from the contest. Two Liberals and the same number of Conservatives are now in the field. The representation of the borough is now divided. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY.—Mr. Beresford Hope has issued an address to the members of the Senate of tho University of Cambridge seeking re-election. He says—" I have re sisted, to the utmost of my power, the proposed disestab lishment and diseudowment of the Irish Church." He will also oppose the measure in the event of his being re-elected. There is no opposition to the Right lion. Mr. Walpole and Mr. Hope, CARMARTHEN BOROUGHS.—After being held for above a quarter of a century by the Liberals, the boroughs of Car marthen and Llanelly are contested by a Conservative, Mr. Morgan Dalrymple Troharne. The Liberal candidate is Colonel Cowell Stepney. BEVERLEY.—Tho Hon. Marmaduke Maxwell and Mr. Anthony Trollope have comp forward in opposition to Sir H. Edwards and Capt. Kennard. LEOMINSTER.—Lord Mahon, one of the sitting members, has retired. The fight now lies between Mr. Arkwright, the other Conservative member, and Dr. Spiuks. THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION. The Round Table, of New York, contains some informa tion and comments, in the matter of the Abyssinian expe dition, which should be strictly investigated. " There is being circulated," it says," in the continental journals a very remarkable letter, dated Jerusalem, JulylB, which, if true, throws an entirely new light on the achievements of the British arms in the late Abyssinian campaign. Could we credit its statements, nothing in modern history, not even Turenne's treatment of the Palatinate, nor Tilly's conduct at Magdeburg in the Thirty Years' War, could equal the barbarities attendant on the storming of Magdala. The attacking column, says the letter referred to, composed of Europeans, not of llindoos, had arrived on the rock without the least loss. The king was found lying in his blood. The officers surrounded the corpse. But their surprise did not last. One began to tear off a piece of the dead monarch's shirt, and dipped it into his blood for a keepsake. The example was followed by others, and Theodore soon lay there a ragged beggar. The troops dispersed through the fortress in search of plunder. They found their way to the treasury, and fell to quarrelling over its ornaments, jewels, and gold like so many beasts of prey. Bars of gold, even crowns, were broken into 'pieces. Everything was demo lished—books, furniture, dresses, &c. What could not be conveniently carried away was destroyed and ruined. Not content with this wanton waste, they went and violated the graves ; the bodies of the dead were dug up, deprived of their clothing, searched and rifled, and then left exposed on the ground. Even the corpse of the Abuna was exhumed and robbed of the golden cross on its breast. The riot rose higher and higher. A large number of matrons and maidens belonging to the noblest families, who hoped to find safety at the fort, had their necklaces, bracelets, and rings torn from their persons, were stripped naked, and then subjected to the grossest outrages by the brutal lust of the soldiers. The officers, many of whom had got drunk on the honey-wine found in the royal depots, could not or would not interfere. Such is the account given of the atrocities a'leged to have been committed by the forces of a civilised nation on the anniversary of one of the greatest festivals in the Christian calendar. It certainly sounds incredible, but where there is so much nrggte it is hard to beitevg that_therp i§ DO OK lIJAP_M.? 7ERRII3LE RAILWAY ACCIDFIV T HI STI)AY. co thl Another terrible railway accident took P e u ole' morning, which, we regret to say, was a aril, with the loss of two lives.
