The Charkowarementschug Railway, now in course of construction, will traverse a distance of 248 verdts (about 175 English miles), and forms the connecting link of an uninterrupted rail way communication between Odessa (the Black Sea) and Moscow and St. Petersburg. In its route this railway passes through the fertile pro vinces of Pultawa and Charkow, which are largely pro ductive in grain, li seed, tallow, wool &c. This produce, for want of proper communication by reason of the diffi culties of the navigation of the Dnieper, at present can only reach the coast of the Black Sea by tedious and un certain transport, Odessa (as is probably well known) being the chief outlet in the Black Sea for all Russian produce. In the towns of Charkow ard Pultawa annual fairs are held, the importance of which, in point of the value of pro duce there disposed of, is even greater than that of the celebrated fair of Nijni Nowgorod. The share capital subscribed is Rs. 3,573,000, and the Concessionaires have taken all necessary steps to ensure an early completion of the line, which will without doubt be one of the most lucrative in Russia. In appreciation of these facts, his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of All the Russias has granted the absolute and unconditional State guarantee of interest and principal of the £1,716,000 Bonds authorised to be issued.

Now that the General Election is drawing so im mediately to a close, we can estimate with tolerable accuracy the relative strength of the two great rival parties. Out of the 658 there have been already re turned 646 representatives. Twelve more alone re main to be added to the full number completing the Commons House of Parliament. And of those already returned (that is of the 616), according to the limes, 380 are Liberals and 266 Conservatives—leaving to the former, therefore, 114 as a clear majority. Against this statement, however, of the chief organ of the Liberals, there is the counter-statement put forward by the chief organ of the Conservatives. The Standard's assertion being that the Constitu tionalists number alrea-ly, out of the aggregate of 646 members even now returned, not 266, but 270 —a calculation which would show the clear majo rity of the Liberals to be not fourteen, but merely half-a-dozen in excess of the square hundred. The Standard, however, simply contents itself with setting forth this statement. It refrains from de monstrating by a very simple sum in arithmetic how it is that it arrives at this quotient. It undertakes to give no detailed analysis of the electoral returns already accumulated in the hands of all. It goes fur ther, nevertheless, than simply claiming 270 of the members now returned as avowed Constitutionalists. It expresses the greatest confidence that ten out of the 12 seats yet to be filled up, will be filled up by sup porters of the Government. So that, in that case, 280 out of the 658 being Conservatives, the Liberals would have a clear majority of 78 altogener—instead of either 6or 14 over the 100. Now, as usual, the truth,webelieve,will befouud in between these two ra ther rash and extravagant calculations—between the rose-coloured statement of the Liberals in Times and the rose-coloured statement of the Standard in the nameof the Conservatives. The clear majority secured to the Opposition as the result of the General Election now upon the very eve of its completion, will, as we feel assured, and as we have often before now stated in so many words in these columns, be as nearly as possible upon the turn of the hundred. It was a clear majority of between 70 and 80 iu the last Parliament. It will have im proved upon that in the new Parliament, as we have all along anticipated by a gain of between 20 and 30 altogether. The Spectator, we see, calcu lates to-day a just possible absolute majority of 101 —though it adds, " the real majority, we still believe, will exceed 105:" Remembering the predictions which were so very confidently indulged in, when the elec tions commenced, by the more sanguine antagonists of the Government, the result thus arrived at partakes very much, juiced, of the character of a collapse. Mr. GLADSTONE was to enter the house with a clear majority of 200. That was au assertion often in dulged in. The Conservatives were to be, in racing phrase, just simply nowhere. The Opposition had everything 11efore them. The Leader was to be in stalled as a sort of Parliamentary Dictator or Politi cal Lord Paramount. The dwindling down of the Tory Party was to be a something utterly ludicrous and contemptible. The actual result has not, however, by any means realized these extravag Int anticipa tions. The majority attained is conclusive as to the settlement of the question of the Irish Church —not off hand, but with all due deliberation and Parliamentary formality. But, while it it is so, it must, in simple honesty and jus tice, be conceded to the Conservatives that they make anything but a mean anl contemptible show ; that on, the contrary they still prove to absolute de monstration that they are a very considerable power in the State ; that they are foemen worthy of the steel of the Liberals ; that they confront their anta gonists with ranks which are not n'imerically insigni ficant, any more than they are either undisciplined or disorganised. Mr. GLADSTONE will have now in 1868—as Sir R. PEEL had in 1841—a great, and at any rate for the time being an united party at his back, numbering, up at the lowest calculation, some 379, or thereabouts—giving him now in this matter of the Irish Church, as it gave Sir ROBERT PEEL then (seven and twenty years ago) in the matter of Protection, a clear majority of 100. But while these are the immediate probabilities on the one side there is the all but certainty on the other that Mr. GLADSTONE, so entering the House with that clear majority of 100 on the one sole question of the Irish Church, will find himself confronted in regard to all other ques tions by a very formidable antagonist, indeed, iu the person of Mr. DISRAELI at the head of his two hun dred and seventy odd Conservatives or Constitu tionalists ! Mr. DISRAELI so confronting him, at the head of that formidable body of Constitu tionalists, in his capacity as Author of the last Re form Bill and as undisputed leader still of the country gentlemen of England ! A Conserva tive Statesman who has shown himself, by this last enormous measure of Parliamentary Reform, —which he has passed so very recently and so triumphantly —to be no obstructive, and who has yet at his back a serried mass of followers numbering up very nearly 280 altogether An antagonist, therefore, in no way to be contemned even by a Leader carried in on the heads of the people, and having upon one great question alone (the most prominent and urgent question of the hour however) a clear majority in his favour of 100 in a house of 658. No wonder, when the results of the General E!ection come thus to be scrutinized and analysed, no wonder that with a phalanx of 270 or 280 Conservative Representatives owning his authority as their leader ; no wonder we say that Mr. DISRAELI prefers not to be relegated himself to the House of Peers. No wonder that—while handing over the coronet won by his genius to that " perfect wife," his affection fur whom he has more than once before now so gracefully signalizA —Mr. DISRAELI reserves still fcr himself the occupation of that proud posi tion he has now held so conspicuously for twenty years as Leader in the British House of Commons of the great party of the Conservatives or Constitu tionalists. LANCASHIRE has returned 22 Conservatives and 11 Liberals to the new Parliament. Fourteen out of the 22 sit for boroughs; so that, even leaving out the 8 county seats, Conservatism is still in the ascendant in Lancashire. The total strength of the Conserva- ,fives is to the Liberals as two to one. In order, however, to estimate aright the feeling of this great county, we must - examine votes as well as seats. It is quite possible that a county may be almost equally divided between the two parties, and yet if one party had a slight excess over the other in every constituency it would win every seat. We have therefore taken the trouble to calculate the number of votes actually polled in every constituency, and we find the following result. In round numbers there were 188,600 votes recorded for Conservative candidates, and 187,200 recorded for Liberal candidates. This result is obtained in the simplest possible way—by adding together all the votes given to Conservative candidates and all those given to Liberal candidates. The number of Liberal candidates who polled was one more than the num ber of Conservative candidates, but as the extra Liberal stood in Manchester, where the minority clause is in force, this fact does not vitiate the cal culation. It should be added that we have taken no account of Warrington election, because, although a Liberal has been returned by a majority of votes, the Conservatives claim that there has been some -error on the part of the poll-clerk. The result of the contest is, therefore, that while Lancashire returns twice as many Conservative members as Liberals, the county is divided into almost exactly two equal parts. In fact, the numbers are so nearly equal, that if we were, after assigning to each party 16 members, to give the odd one to the Conservatives, we should give them more than they were entitled to by the num; ber of their votes. Nevertheless, when all these considerations are taken into account, we are still surprised at the prevalence of Conservative feeling in Lancashire. THE last of the three-cornered constituencies chose its members on Thursday, and we are now able to ascertain the results of the minority clause. They ought to make Mr. BRIGHT less angry with this device in future. It has not only served to shew the overwhelming strength of his party in his own borough, but it has added considerably to the strength of his party throughout the kingdom. There are thirteen constituencies in which minorities have obtained the right of representation. These con stituencies returned to the last Parliament fifteen Liberals and twenty Conservatives; to the new Par liament they return twenty-two Liberals and eighteen Conservatives, the number of seats having been increased by five. For the first time Mr. DISRAELI has a Liberal colleague in the representation of his very Conservative constituency. Mr. HENLEY is in the same position in Oxfordshire, and Mr. WALTER has regained his seat in Berkshire. In Cambridgeshire, Herefordshire, and Dorsetshire the Liberals have retained the one seat which they held before. They have won the additional seat at Liver pool and Glasgow, and have carried two out of the three seats in Herts. In only one constituency have they actually lost a seat—in London, which At the present time returns three Liberals and one Con servative. Will anyone—will even Mr. BRIGHT venture to say that this is an unfair proportion, or declare that the Conservative wealth and intelligence of the first city in the world ought to go unrepresented ? The Liberal party ought, instead of lamenting over this one loss, to wish that the principle which has caused it had been e _tended a little further. Had it been applied to South Lancashire, for instance, Mr. GLADSTONE would not now be the " beggar and the vagrant " which he by anticipation described himself to be. This question has always seemed to us beyond all party considerations. It i appeared but just that where there was a ' plurality of candidates the whole represen tation should not be engrossed by a portion of the constituency only fractiOnally over a I half, while a portion only fractionally under was not represented at all. In constituencies where the electors were largely in the majority, as in Birmingham, the clause would have no effect ; at the same time it would remove from the minority the sense of injustice that prevailed under the old system, for they would feel that at least they had the opportunity of returning a candidate of their own opinions whenever they were strong enough to do so. Viewing the result as a whole, we find that while in individual constituencies a powerful minority has obtained its share of representation, the net result has been to largely increase the repre sentation of the majority. It has given the Conser vatives of Manchester and London representatives of their own, and it has increased the Liberal strength by nine votes. LATEST INTELL LGENO)2:. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, FRIDAY, November 27. The Etendarcl a day or two ago announced that the " example of the three judges of Clermont would find no imitators." It has found imitators. The Indepcndant du Tarn, summoned before the Correctional Tribunal of Castres on the charge of " manoeuvres " against the Government by publishing a list of the Baudin subscriptions, has been acquitted in the same way as the Independant du Centre. The magistrates of Castres have agreed with those of Clermont, that the prosecution in the Baudin affair hardly preserves the letter of the French law, and certainly violates its spirit. This double acquittal will have more than twice the effect of one. The judgment at Clermont might have been deemed an accidental check to the Govern ment ; but the two acquittals cannot be interpreted other wise than as a decisive censure. There is some chance now that the other prosecutions, at least those in the provinces, may have the same result. The Eclipse has been forbidden to publish likenesses of the five advocates who undertook the defence in the first Baudin trial ! What next ? The Government may be expected to forbid the advocates to have their likenesses taken in any form. France and Austria must be on the best of terms. The Gaulois and some of the German papers have stated that the French gun factories were to furnish the Emperor Francis Joseph with 600,000 muskets by the Ist of April. This statement has not yet been contradicted. It is said that the three millions of francs which have been paid into the Roman treasury on account of the Italian share in the Pontifical debt never came out of the coffers at Florence. The money has been paid by France as a liquidation of the debt incurrred by the annexation of Savoy and Nice. Baron Beust has recovered his stolen decorations. They were pledged with an old curiosity dealer for 250 florins ; but as a larger reward was offered for the discovery of the thief, the dealer gave information. None of the decora tions are wanting, but the thief is. The Prince Imperial has acquired a confirmed taste for the French national sport. He has become a very pro mising velocipedist, and has succeeded in rendering this exercise more than ever the rage. The bulletin of distinguished invalids is altogether favour able. M. Berryer is no worse ; the Duke of Brabant is rather better; and Serrano is recovering, though he is still incapable of attending to public business, leaving Prim in undisputed possession. The Marquis of Novaliches is convalescent. It is even thought by some that ho may regain speech, though part of his tongue has been carried away, and as yet he can hold communication only by writing. _ _ One day a young woman, giving the name of Josephine D-, presented herself at the atelier of an artist sculptor. She unfolded a pitiful tale, saying that her husband, who was a shopkeeper, had been ruined by giving too much credit, had fallen ill, and that both were in extreme misery. She prayed that the sculptor would assist them by employing her as a model. The sculptor was moved to pity, introduced the unfortunate woman to his wife, who employed her in various ways and paid her sufficiently to keep the ruined pair from starvation. One day the sculptor set aside a sum of £2O in order to make the customary New Year's present to his wife. The money disappeared, and, suspi- ciously enough, so did the "model woman." She vanished, her residence had never been known, and she was not found. Fifteen years, as the story-books say, passed, and this piece of model behaviour had long re• lapsed into obscurity. One day, however, the sculptor entered one of the finest cafes in Paris, and there, sitting at the receipt of custom, as mistress of the house, was the uierly miserable, but now prosperous Josephine. The two recognised each other at once. Sub rosa, the sculptor was informed that the 500 f. had been stolen in a fit of desperation ; that the husband was informed that the wife had found it in the street; and that the sum had served to raise them from misery to affluence. The sculptor, it is added, did not call in the aid of the police. THE TVEAT.HEB TABLE.-THIS DAY. METEOROLOGICAL REPORTS. S.E. S.E. E. E. N.E. E.N.E. E.N.E. S.W. s. E. E. E.N.E. N.N.E. N.E. N.N.E.

ANOTHER MATTER.—A letter was published in the Herald in reference to Mr. Gladstone's opinions on the Irish Church a few days back, purporting to come from Mr. J. D. Coleridge, Q.C. The gentleman who forwarded that letter now writes to say that he has ascertained " it was written by Sir J. T. Coleridge, the chairman of Mr. Gladstone's committee, and not by Mr. J. D. Cole ridge, Q.C." TRIALS OF ORDNANCE.—The Ordnance Select Committee continued their trial on Friday of Colonel Inglis's wrought-iron gun-carriage for training heavy guns through small portholes. The carriage endured the tremendous shocks of twenty-five rounds from the 10-inch rifled gun with 401 b. and 60)b. charges. The recoil was checked by the hydraulic buffer, which answered admi rably. Some of the new 10-inch shrapnel shell were also proved in this practice. VALUABLE LOAN. —A very remarkable result of the late Exhibition at Leeds has occurred in the generous proposal of Mr. Alexander Barker to allow the whole of his valuable contributions to the Exhibition, consisting of twenty of the most interesting and beautiful paintings, of the Italian schools of the 15th and 16th centuries, old bronzes, illuminated missals, drawings, ttc„ beautiful examples of porcelain and majolica, and carvings, to be left for exhibition at the Mechanics' Institute of that town for one year, gratuitously, and even without any conditions beyond such as are absolutely necessary for the safe guarding of his art treasures. Mr. Barker's desire and hopes are, that from his example other owners of works of art will permit them to be exhibited from time to time at the institution, for the benefit of the working classes, to whom the sight of good works of art of all kinds will be of the greatest service ; thinking, moreover, that food for the mind is as indispensable as food for the body— a fact too little heeded in our great and populous seats of industry. BROKEN ENGLIST./.—ln glancing over some German papers the other day, We noticed this advertise. meat in Addisonian English, looking very queerly among the uniform German type :—" In a respect. German family two minutes outside the Holstenthor finds a young English or Frenchman, a fine furnished up rcom with or without board for a low price. Apply to the expedition of this paper." Now, if any "young English" did happen to want a " fine furnished up room," only " two minutes outside the Holstenthor," this must have been a great chance. Upon the whole, we think there must be more broken English in the world than auy other broken language—more even than "broken China." Mr. Buffum once said he had seen in a Paris restaurant the dish ris de rcau et la jinanelb.e, which is, of course, simply " Sweetbread a la financiere," literally translated for the behoof of English patrons into " The smile of the calf to the female capitalist." Compared with this last, the advertisement of the ".respect.:German family"is English of Gibbon and Goldsmith.—New York Times PRIMARY EDUCATION (IRELAND). —The Roya Commission on Primary Education met on Thursday, the 26th instant, at the offices of the Commission, 46, Upper Sackville-street, Dublin.

Bd of November, Assuming the statement you have received to bo true, I cannot hesitate to express my entire disap proval of tho Vicar's proceedings. The system of intro ducing doubtful doctrines into the services of the Church by means of unauthorized hymns, anthems, and introits is not to be justified on any principle of loyalty or honesty. Yon are, however, probably aware that a decesion of the Court of Arches has been given to the effect that prayers for the dead have not been forbidden by the Church of England, and you will therefore see that there may bo a legal ditEculty in dealing with the question which you have brought to my notice. If, however ? it is thought that the law of the Church has been transgressed by Mr. Ward, it is competent for you or any other parishioner to take proceedings against him in the Ecclesiastical Court of the Diocese, and I shall consider it my duty to facilitate such proceedings.—. I am, dear Sir, your faithful servant, E. H. ELY," We under stand that the parishioners will take the matter up, and that any subscriptions for that purpose will be thankfully received by Mr, Nichols, RAILWAY STATISTICS. In compliance with an order of the House of Commons certain railway statistics have just been issued, from which it appears that the total number of railway accidents in the United Kingdom for the year ending December 31, 1867, was 106, causing a loss of 35 lives, and injuries to 757 people. Of these collisions, 95 happened to passenger trains, and 11 to goods and mineral trains. Up to the 31st December, it appears the number of passengers in England and Wales amounted to 259,598,982, the number of trains run was 5,224,846, the gross receipts from passenger trains amounted to £15,208,130, and from goods trains to £18,190,092. In Scotland the figures shew a gross receipt from passengers of £1,428,037, and from goods traffic of £2,581,883, In Ireland the receipts from passengers amounted to 947,387, and from goods traffic to £772,390. The authorised capital of the English railways amounts to a total of £536,056,151, of which £400,073,180 was, by shares, and £135,982,971 by loans. In Scotland the autho rised capital was £70,363,006, of which £52,915,650 was raised by shares and £17,447,356 by loans. In Ireland it was £36,434,251, of which £28,458,610 was by shares and £7,975,641 by loans. RAILTV AY SIGNALS, An important series of experiments were made on Thursday on the North-Eastern Railway system, with a view of testing various methods of communication between passengeri, guards, and drivers, which have been devised in view of the adoption of one general system in April next, when a provision of the kind becomes compulsory on railway companies. Four experimental trains were run, and the general managers and other officials of the Great Northern, South-Eastern, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, Midland, London and North-Western, North-Western, and other companies were present, and travelled in the trains. At eleven a.m. a London and North-Western train of twenty-five carriages, trucks, &c., was fitted at Malton with a cord apparatus attached to a whistle on the engine. This line was slender, and required to be cut or broken at the point of danger, the severance of the string liberating a spring lever which blew the whistle. This train ran from Malton to Scarborough. At Scarborough a South-Eastern train was entered, and a return journey was made to Malton. The train was a mixed one, and of the same length, and was fitted with Preece's electric couplings, as in use on the South-Eastern. At Malton a North- Eastern train was taken, fitted with Brown's semaphore invention, moved by a cord over the window, and signal ling the driver and guard, as well as marking the part of the train whence the alarm is given. This system has been in use on certain North-Eastern trains for ten months, and has done good service. At York a short London and North-Western train was waiting, fitted with a different electrical communication, which it was proposed to take to llarrogate. The results of the observations will lead to a conference with the different managers, and form the basis of a suggestion to the Board of Trade for a uniform system of signalling pas senger trains. THE ABERGELE CORONER.—TIIO Lancet con gratulates Dr. Evan Pierce on the high estimation in which he is evidently held at Denbigh, where he has now been elected mayor for the third year in succession. Re membering the adverse criticism of which, as coroner in the melancholy catastrophe at Abergele, Dr. Pierce was the subject, it must be peculiarly gratifying to him to receive so complete a proof from his fellow townsmen of their satisfaction with his conduct of that most difficult and painful inquiry —a satisfaction that is now universally entertained. REPORTING EXTRAORDINARY. —Before a member has finished his speech in the House, the greater part of it is not only written out, but actually in type in more than one newspaper office. Without the system of "short turns " in reporting, this would, of course, be impossible. One peculiarity of the "turn" system is, that great pains need be taken to avoid mistakes arising from the " turns" of different men being accidentally transposed. To prevent this, each man, ere he begins his report, heads his first slip of transcript with his own name and that of the reporter-who has preceded him, thus : " Jones follows Brown ;" and he adds similar words to the last slip, thus : " Smith follows Jones." These words are of course set up in type for the guidance of the printer ; and it sometimes happens that they find their way in con sequence into the newspaper itself. On one celebrated occasion, Mr. Disraeli, who was depicting in glowing words the dangers to society arising from some act of the Liberal Government, exclaimed, in the midst of his peroration : " Then, sir, what follows?" This question was unexpectedly, answered in one morning paper by the remarkable words, " Green follows Robson." . . . There are many goad stories' told respecting the Gal lery. Many have doubtless heard of the old reporter who in the midst of a dull debate, suddenly called out for the Speaker to favour the House with a song. Another gentleman, engaged in the House of Lords, having heard one statesman of repute state that another bad introduced a bill "with indecent haste,"-headed his report with the words; "Charge of Indecency against Lord So-and-so ;" whilst a third, who had been told that profane language was on no account to be admitted into his reports, once destroyed the effect of one of O'Connell's finest pieces of oratory by printing the word " damned," when used in its most legitimate sense, in the form in which it usually appears in our police reports.—Chambers'B Journal, The Norwich Liberals have decided on petitioning against the return of Sir Henry Stracey.
