The wonderful network of iron which is spread ing all round and over the metropolis is now fast . approaching its completion. Great as are the ad vantages which the metropolitan railways have already conferred upon the citizens of London, the full convenience which they will gain from the inner and outer circle are not yet bestowed upon them. Gradually as the scheme developes itself it becomes possible to go from one extreme of London to another, and suburbs, which before seemed as far apart as different towns, are now being rapidly rendered capable of ready communication. Of old it would have taken a passenger as long to get from Highgate to Kensington as from Brompton to Peckham as to have :taken a trip into ano ther county, but the magic highway has been laid, and now the route is direct, simple, and expedi tious. A change of carriages at one of the great junctions is all that is needed, and instead of the c j.)urney through London streets being one of the molt formidable parts of a family expedition to the s A side, the iron lin:se c3nveys his freight to suburban stations within easy access of their own residence. Everybody nowadays lives out of town, and yet no one can afford to despise the great centres of business and industry. But if a resident at Fa , nsington can s'ep into a bright and cheerful open-air station and find himself, after thirty minutes of easy travelling, at Moorgate-street, the old difficulties of time and distance are wellnigh annihilated. It has been no light or easy task thus to invade the mystic regions of Skitzland, and assuredly when Mr. MORLEY penned his amusing descriptioir of - life - iirtnid-earthetetieipernect that a few years would see us all -route. If the pleasant old fiction of London streets being paved with gold has proved itse" to belong no longer to this work-a-day world, it is verified sub terraneously. When we are told that the three miles from South Kensington to Edgware-road has cost three millions, we may readily believe that Miss KILMANSEGG might have walked on a golden highway from one station to the other at a trifle more expense! Yet there is little doubt that this Western Extension, which has swallowed up the funds intended for the Eastern Extension as well, will prove eventually most remu nerative to the shareholders, and there is cer tainly no room for complaint or criticism in the manner in which they have fulfilled their one rous task. An inspection of the line from Edgware-road to Brompton was held yesterday by the directors, preparatory to the official inspection which mus, take place before the opening on the Ist of October. It is hoped that the whole line to the terminus at South Kensington, in the vicinity of the Museum, will be ready by the new year, so th tt there is no reason to ac- C 1132 the engineers of dilatoriness. More especially must we give them credit for punctuality and promptitude, when we remember the great difficulties with which they had to contend in con structing some parts of the new line where it was necessary to tunnel under the costly houses between Paddington and Bayswater. Every regard has been had to the comfort and convenience of passengers, and the ventilation throughout has been carefully looked to. When we get a railway line due north of Charing-cross our metropolitan means of communication will leave little to be desired. The annual meeting of the Warwickshire Agri cultural Society was held yesterday, and Mr. NEw- DEGATE made some remarks on the House of Commons. He was, he said, able to put the mysterious letters M.P. before his name, but he appeared before them as the representative of a dead House of Commons. Nevertheless, he continued to make some interesting observations upon it. The assembly of which he treated is indeed in a peculiar position, and one which seems to demand some consideration, for it has felt it to be its duty to pass an act which terminates its own ex - istence, and the, gulf with which the members will have to plunge before they can be reinstated in their position is deemed by some to be most formidable. Mr. NEWDHGATE, however, in common with most of his party, is by no means so timorous, and speaks hopefully of the experiment they are making. The House of Commons may indeed claim credit for having done its best, at the cost of self sacrifice, to render the measure just passed beneficial to the community and truly of a national character in the fullest acceptation of the term. There is, as the hon. member for North Warwickshire observed in his speech, a great dif ference between the words in the Latin language " populus " and " plebs." This is a fact worthy of attention, because mistakes are made if the subject is not appreciated. The classes which devote , them selves to labour, however respectable in themselves cannot and ought not to be looked upon as repre sentatives of the whole nation. The hon. member I did not dwell upon the vexatious points of politics, but contented himself with dwelling upon the vital principles which must rule all who would influence the destinies of a great nation. Putting party f questions aside, who can deny that in the hearts o the people dwells a deep attachment to our free constitution ? And we hope that the prophecy here made will be fully realised, and " that the next House of Commons, more fully representing their feelings and their views, will in dicate those great principles of freedom and order which had rendered this nation not only free itself, but free from revolution, and so combined, that it was the happiest, the most prosperous, the most beneficent centre of an em pire that the world had ever seen." It has been too much the habit of some people nowadays to decry the importance of agriculture, but this cannot be laid to the House of Commons, which, as a body, has always duly appreciated its influence. NAPO LEON at the time of his captivity, when he looked upon the fall of nations with the eye of an historian, declared that England would fail if she allowed her agriculture to fail, and his opinion is worth hearing amid the bustle and ex citement of engrossing pursuits, and the overpower ing claims of mechanical and manufacturing in terests. It is not surprising that agriculture is some times cast into the shade, but for a nation to prosper and a people to progress in the right style, com prehensiveness must be studied, and the whole interests taken into account, not giving the exclusive preference to any oce part. It has been the fashion to sneer at the Agricultural Societies and their meetings, but they represent important interests, and those who underrate them only show their own ignorance by so doing instead of exhibiting much wisdom. In the present disturbed state of the public mind with respect to the chances of war or the likelihood of peace continuing all that is said by influential personages naturally assumes great importance and meets with the attention it would not otherwise deserve. The King of PRUSSIA has arrived at Kiel, and in replying to an address of the Rector of the University, in which hopes were expressed that peace might be preserved, his MAJESTY said that he did not see any cause in the whole of Europe for peace to be disturbed. " I say this," he added, "to allay your apprehensions on the subject." These few words will doubtless be conned over with all possible care, and skill be exhausted in interpreting them in divers fashions, but perhaps they really mean what they affect to do, for it is quite possible that the King of Prtussu may not expect war to be im minent ; at any rate his speech, if such it can be called, will be reassuring in many quarters, and it is well-timed, for those not at all alarmists were be ginning to dislike the aspect of affairs. Mr. GUIZOT has made some remarks on the Peace or War question in his paper on " France and Prussia" in the Revue des Deux Monde, in which he admits that uneasiness exists on the subject. It is curious to notice the observations made by this great thinker, and he declares that the EMPEROR is really anxious to maintain peace, but still he blames him for the " indecision" he mani fests upon the point, or at any rate appears to feel on'the matter. M. GUIZOT, at any rate, follows in the wake of those who advocate peace, and to give substance to his remarks he advises that the French military forces be put upon a bona fide peace foot ing, which he looks upon as the best means of tranquillising Europe. Such a step will be looked upon as " serious, effectual, and significant." It may be said that the whole tone of this article is con siderate towards the EMPEROR, and that is something at this juncture of affairs. Re specting the advice here tendered, it must be borne in mind that its soundness is questionable, to say the least of it, and no reason is given why Fiance should be the first to disarm. M. GUIZOT seems, in common with others who take this view, to•forget that PrUssia began the gape of hostilities, mid that the RirEnciii only "adopteT reasonable mess . of providing for future exigencies in the changes and I . unroyenaeuto Jib effected iu ho army. We way THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 16, 1868. conclude that for the moment peace will be main tained, but who can feel much confidence in its permanent nature, when, over and over again, these disturbances arise, and speakers and writers vie with each other in putting forward the whys and wherefore of peace, and the extreme likelihood of war ? This is not a time, of all others, when Europe can afford to have another war, more especially one of such a character as an engagement between France and Prussia would be ; and hence we are led to hope the misfortune will be averted. Experience, however, shows that there is no foun dation for this but the idea of making the best of it, and when all has been said and suggested that ingenuity can devise the matter must still be left to the doctrine of chances. Mr. ROEBUCK'S address to the electors of Shef field will be read with interest, not that any one can expect to find much change in the opinions of the stanch Liberal champion, or much modifica tion in his outspoken manner of expressing them. Mr. ROEBUCK'S trenchant and fearless sentences strike both friends and foes, and yet no honest and conscientious politician can fail to respect an oppo nent who so steadfastly upholds what he. believes to be the right through good and evil report. That confidence which he himself deserves from others, he is willing to accord to those who differ from him, and in the address before us he acknowledges that age has made him more tolerant and more patient. " Now," he says, "when my career is nearly ended, I am far more readily to believe than I was when first I became a politician that those who were op posed to me and my views are deserving of respect and attention ; that Liberal politicians have no monopoly of wisdom and virtue ; that differences of opinion need not necessarily lead to enmity and strife ; that men may be friends though they habitu ally take different sides upon political questions." This spirit is happily less rare amongst us than it was, and the intense bitterness has died out of political men, who no longer regard a man who differs from them on a question of policy, or finance, as a mortal enemy ; and, as the course of enlightenment goes on, we may hope to see the same spirit extend itself still further. Mr. ROEBUCK says that the great guiding principle of his life has been the desire to see the great body of the people taking part in the government of the country, by selecting the men who should legislate for them. All his votes on Parliamentary Reform have been given with this aim, and now he sees it attained. " The people, properly so called, have now the power to choose their representatives ;" and Mr. ROEBUCK not unjustly takes some credit to himself for having helped on the good work. If we had had more such fearless and independent politicians, who would neither obey the dictates of a Minister nor flatter the prejudices of the people, the battle of Reform would not have been so hard to fight, nor would the struggle have been so long and so tedious. LEIGH HUNT. -~-- We have more than once taken occasion to refer iu The Sun to the movement set on foot some time since by the Editor of the " Art Journal" for the purpose of raising over the still unmarked grave of Leigh Hunt in Kensal Green Cemetery some suitable memorial. With a view to the realization of this object now, as speedily as possible the fol lowing statement has recently been put forth by the Hon. Secretaries, who first of all quote from the "Art Journal " the original suggestion of a memorial tomb, as expressed in the subjoined paragraph : " He was buried at Kensal Green, but, unhappily, there is, as yet, no monument to record his name and preserve his memory ; that is a reproach to all who knew him, and to all who have read, admired, and loved his many works —a generation that reaps the harvest of his labours. His works will, indeed, do both—they will be his monument — more enduring than any of piled up stones'—and they will preserve his name for ever among the foremost men of his ago and country. But it is not right that the crowded ' graveyard' which contains sculptured tablets of so many illustrious authors, artists, and mon of science, should be without one to this great writer, and I appal to the thousands by whom he is estimatod to remove from England the reproach. It will gratify me much if I can obtain contributions for that purpose in addition to my own. A large sum is by no means requisite. Such a monument as Leigh Hunt would have desired should be unassuming and unpretending, as was his career in letters ; andif I am so happy as to receive responses to this invi tation, I will set about the work." Having transcribed the foregoing passage, ex tracted from " A Memory of Leigh Hunt" in the Art-Journal, the Hon. Secs. go on to observe in their joint statement : Some time ago the observa tions printed above were circulated by the writer, Mr. S. C. Hall, among his personal friends and those he knew to have been the friends of the poet. He received in payments and promises of payments about £7O, and obtained from Joseph Durham, A.K.A., a design for a monument, the estimated cost of which would be about £l5O, Mr. Durham being willing to undertake the work for the mere expense of unemployed labour and materials. Vari ous circumstances compelled Mr. Hall to suspend operations, which are now renewer], and, it may be said, with assurance of speedily accomplishing the purpose in view, by placing in Mensal Green Ceme tery a modest monument to one of the most grace ful, genial, and popular of British poets, essayists, and critics, whose own line best illustrates his character,— " Write me as one that loves his fellow- men ;" of whom it was said by one of his many friends, Lord Lytton,— "Ho had that great requisite of a good critic—a good heart;" to whose merits Macaulay bore earnest testimony, and who was thus described by Thomas Carlyle :- 4 , He is a man of the most indisputably superior worth, a man of genius in a very strict sense of that word, and in all the sense which it bears or implies ; of brilliant varied gifts, of graceful fer tility, of clearness, lovingness, truthfulness ; of childlike, open character ; also of most pure, even exemplary, private deportment ; a man who can be other than loved only by those who have not seen him, or seen him from a distance through a false medium." A sum of £75 is in the bank of Messrs. Ransom, Bouverie, and Co., Pall-Mall East, where a book of subscriptions has been opened-; and the following gentlemen have agreed to act as a com mittee for the due application of such sum as may be collected :—The Chief Baron, Sir F. Pollock, Bart., Thomas Carlyle, Esq., John Forster, Esq., LL.D., B. W. Procter, Esq., Charles Dickens, Esq., Sir John Bowring, Charles Ratcliff, Esq., F.S.A., E. M. Ward, Esq., R.A., Sir Percy Shelley, Bart., W. C. Macready, Esq., Robert Chambers, Esq., LL.D., George Godwin, Esq., F.R.S., Charles Kent, Esq., William Barry, Esq., Bertrand Payne, Esq., F.R.S.L., and Alexander Ireland, Esq. S. C. Hall, F.S.A., and Edmund 011ier, Hon. Secs. ; S. K. Townshend Mayer, F.R.S.L., 25, Norfolk streeb, Strand, Hon. Treasurer. Subscriptions will be received by Mr. S. R. Townshend Mayer ; or they may be paid into the bank of Messrs. Ransom, Bouverie, and Co., Pall-Mall East. Full details, with the names of all the subscribers, will be trans mitted to each subscriber in due course, with an engraving of the monument. Mr. John Martin, of Rostrevor, leader of a sec tion of the " Nationalists " of Ireland, states, in a letter to the Nation, his " deliberate opinion that Irish representatives may far better serve Ireland by going into the London Parliament to refuse to vote there than by go:ng in to vote." He would have them thus " protest, in Ire'.and's name, agatuA the English usurpation of the sovereign rights of Ireland, and to demand the restoration of our own National Parliament." He is not a follower of Mr. Gladstone, because, " if Mr. Glad stone sincerely desires to do justice to Ireland he will follow Lim " (Jlr. John Martin). DEATH' OF AIR.

Frederick Goold, Archdeacon of RAPIN, written to the editor of the Dublin Evening Nag thanktni him for a leader on the "Church and its Friends." He says —" I dread Mr. Disraeli's treachery much more than Mr. Gladstone's open and undisguised hostility." He believes that the hour has come when, if Irish Churchmen would wish to re tain one shred of purity, freedom, or independence, they must dissolve connection with the State. He says, "Let us trust God and take courage for the future. There are many warm hearts in the crew of the noble old vessel, and with good pilotage, my life on it, we shall not only ' weather the storm,' but 'skim the waters like a thing of life,' and though these waters 'roar and be troubled,' we shall career prosperously through them—because, sir, our cause is the cause of truth, meekness, and righteousness: We may, therefore, confidently believe that though we may be losers in things temporal, yet that in things spiritual 'the Lord of Hosts will be with us, the God of Jacob will be our refuge.' Sir, lam now in the sere and yellow leaf of my existence ; there is but little to gladden the prospect of coming days—troublous times are before us- but no sight would gladden my heart more than to wit ness tho inaugur..tion of an Irish Free Church by the conse cration in the venerable pile of St. Patrick of ten godly and able men to those bishoprics which the State so unrighteously suppressed. Tho postscript of a letter is supposed some times to contain the pith of it. Tho Archdeacon adds in a P.S. :—" While advocating a dissolving of our connection with the State solely through the unfaithfulness of tho rul ing powers, I must not be understood as advocating disen dowment. Far from it." CORRESPONDENCE PROM PARIS-. QOM OUR OWN CORRESTIONDENT..A PARIS. TtrESDAY, September 16. Vheirar election is the event of the day s but it is a much tndaller event than it would have been bad the Opposition won. The Jura election was a serious warning to the authorities, and they did not neglect it. Whilst the official papers were ordered to keep silent, the Govern ment put forth all its strength, and exerted an influence against which the really earnest attempts of the Opposi tion were as nothing. There is, however, some con solation for the unfortunate supporters of M. Dufaure. The Liberal cause has evidently made much progress in the South. In 1863, whilst the Opposition polled 9,081 votes, the Government candidate was elected by 18,862 — more than double. But in 1868 the Government candidate gained 17,445 votes, whilst M. Dufaure was supported by 12,890. Thus, in five years the Opposition has progressed from a minority of 9,881 to a minority of only 4,555. In addition, the Government on this occasion exerted itself more strenuously than iu the comparatively palmy days of 1863. Then the victory was gained without effort ; this year the authorities dare not be beaten. The official papers, of course, speak of the election being the " expression of the attachment of the electors to existing institutions, and the proof of their unshaken confidence in the Imperial Govern ment." Apart from all this rhodomontade it is certain that the Government has gained an important victory, and the Opposition may reasonably comfort itself with the reflection that its influence has not remained stationary. Tinder the title of " The Preliminaries of Sadowa," the Revue des Deux Mondes begins the publication of a work in which the position of Prussia since 1866 is contemplated from two points of view—affiance with Italy and anta gonism to France. It is confidently said that the Florence Cabinet is the inspiring medium of this work, and that M. de Moustier is not altogether guiltless of lending material assistance in the shape of important diplomatic communications. In the second part of this strange publication the mission of the Italian General Govone, who concluded the affiance with Prussia after the neutrality of France had been assured, will be narrated at full length. It is further asserted that details will be given of several interviews beteen the Emperor Napo leon and Generals Govone and La Marmora. It will also transpire that it was the Italian Government itself, and not the French Cabinet, which suggested the transfer of the seat of the Italian capital from Turin to Florence. The LiberM is responsible for these anticipations. Is it not strange that - a French review should publish revela tions of the diplomatic secrets—secrete the reverse cf creditable to France or Italy—which relate to the events of 1866 ? There is little or no war intelligence to-day. The elec tion in the Var is the only topic. Thero is, however, some talk of the Marquis de la Valette re-entering diplomatic life, either to take charge of a portfolio once more, or to represent the Government at an important embassy. The return of M. Drouyn de Lbuys to office is also spoken of. Among the more material facts is the announcement that the last session of the Corps L6gislatif will be held in December, and that the general election will take place in May. Large stores of powder have been recently consigned to the forts around Paris. The publication of La Lanterne is attended with the greatest success out of France. Not a copy, however, appears in public here. THE WEATHER TABLE• --THIS DAY. METEOROLOGICAL REPORTS. Extreme Sea ---.--- Wednesday, 1..4 ( F. 1 Sept. 16, B. T. ~.'". W . 1 1 to F. D.

The telegram through Reuter's agency does not give the whole of his Majesty's reply to the address of the university. Not only did King William say, " I do not see throughout Europe any cause for the disturbance of peace," but he added, "What will still more reassure you, I perceive the vigour of the Fatherland in the representatives of the army and navy assembled here, who have proved that they do not shun the combat if compelled to fight it out." This is by no means so pacific an assurance as the firs t sentence alone wou'd be. Whilst the King of Prus• sees no cause for war, he is c uifident that those who attack Prussia will have reason to regret their temerity. It is hardly to be hoped that this proud assertion will have any sedative effect upon the Paris Bourse. Other indica tions are in favour of peace; that is, the French official papers have during the last two or three days striven vigorously to prove that war is out of the question. But whilst the French papers have become more pacific, the Prussian press has assumed a very threatening tone. The attitude of Austria has become a most important con sideration. It is stated at Vienna that in case of a European war Austria will not preserve neu trality if her position in Europe is endangered in the slightest degree. In France, however, Austria is not counted upon as an ally, and in Prussia her neutrality is the utmost that can be hoped for. All that can be positively said on the point is, that Austria reserves the right of perfectly independent action. The generally admited failure of the Salzburg interview leads to the conclusion that she will not assist France against Germany. On the other hand, Prussia has not succeeded in gaining Austria's friendship. The Usedom despatch proved that Prussia had calculated in 1866 upon the complete dissolution of the Austrian Empire, and the impression produced by this discovery is not to be wiped out by words. Baron Werther, the Prussian Ambassador at Vienna, has attempted to " explain" matters to Baron Beust, but has not succeeded. The military preparations on both sides of the Rhine still continue. The Prussians are about to construct near Treves an entrenched camp, which is destined to take the place of the fortress of Luxemburg. Treves is at the junction of the Sarre with the Moselle, and is directly opposite the great French military centre at Metz. The position about to be fortified by the Prussians is very important. Letters from Metz state that all the farm. buildings, cottages, &c., which have been erected round that fortress since 1 14 are being destroyed, so as to clear the ground for the operations of artillery. At Besancon, Belfort, and other places the garrisons have been strengthened recently. Con. tracts for military works are accepted without comp°. tition, so as to avoid the necessity of publishing adver tisements. It had been arranged that the Queeu of Spain should visit San Sebastian about the 27th of August, but that date has passed and the great border fortress has not yet been honoured with the royal presence. The unhappy authorities had " spared n o expense" to give her Majesty a fitting reception. The fireworks and il:um'natory mate. rial will of course keep, hut what are the municipal maw nates to do with the fish, flesh, and fowl they had ordered in obedience to the command to provide a grand banquet! it is supposed that the Queen is awaiting the arrival ,f the French Empror at Biarritz. The Times Paris correspondent says that the question of An interview between the two sovereigns is not yet determined : the Emperor has declined to grant the Queen's request, but the Queen is not satisfied. The Emperor does not wish to embarrass himself with the affairs of Spain, but the Queen has finally decided that she can no longer manage them herself, and she still hopes to get the assistance of her neighbour. The Times corre• spondent, however, concludes that there is no reason to suppose the Emperor will depart from his resolve. A correspondent of the Independence Belge says it is certain that the Queen of Spain bad thought of forming a now Ministry under the Presidency of Marshal Clouchi.

Mr. Roebuck and Mr. Hadfield have issued their addresses seeking re-election. The senior member's political mani festo is remarkable for not containing the name of either Mr. Gladstone or Mr. Disraeli, but his remarks throughout are remarkably free from the acerbity which so often characterizes his speeches. He commences by saying that as he has grown older he has grown wiser; that ago has made him more tolerant, more patient; that Liberal politicians have no monopoly of wisdom and virtue ; that differences of opinion need not necessarily lead to enmity and strife; and that men may be friends, though they habitually take different sides upon political questions. Mr. Roebuck says that he has supported every Liberal measure which has been brought into the House of Commons since 1832, and that the object of his life has now been attained. On the great question of the day the hon. member thus speaks :—" The greatest difficulty which in the coming time will lie in the path of the Eng lish politicians is Ireland. Into the circumstances which render our government of Ireland so difficult I will not now stop to inquire; suffice it to say that every man who takes part in the government of the empire knows that the clangor and difficulty of which I speak do exist, and that they must be met by those who rule over us. The first aim of every one who seeks to guide and govern us must be to make the people of Ireland contented, and to this end it is clear that the Irish Church must bo put open a footing satisfactory to the great majority of the Irish people; and this can only be done by making every religious denomination equal before the law, and applying that which is the property of the State to such purposes as will be satis factory to every section and class of the people. To do this will be difficult, hut unless it be done we can never hope for peace and content iu Ireland." The next subject of importance Is the relations between capital and labour. His belief is that in the long run the interests of both the employers and em ployed will be found identical. Mr. Roebuck says if the working man desires to combine, the law ought to allow him to combine and to protect his combination. The funds of his combination ought to be protected from the dis honest official ; and, as I would protect the funds of a joint stock bank, I would protect his. As one or the other com bination, if their objects cease to be legal, ought to lose the aid and protection of the law, so both, if such be the law, will make it their aim to seek legal ends by legal means." Mr. Hadfield contents himself with alluding to the fact that his principles of civil, religious, and commercial freedom have been so lone before the electors, that he considers it unnecessary to recapitulate them. Concerning the Irish Church he says —" J ustice to Ireland has become the question of the day, and I claim to be considered one of its most earnest friends and supporters. I look for the time when, all causes of reasonable dissatisfaction having been removed by just le gislation, the people of Ireland will be as loyal and prosper ous as are those of Scotland, and as powerful for good to the United Kingdom. In common with many other public men, I adopt with confidence Mr. Gladstone'e leadership in the matter, and shall give all the support In my power to his efforts to bring about so desirable a consummation." THE .REVISION COURTS. - WHAT IS RENTAL ?—At the Middlesex Registration Edward Taylor, with eighty other persons on the list for " rental," i.e. r , 11:.‘1 of £l2 a year, were objected to on the ground that rent meant rent received, not rent paid.—The Barrister : Dr. Johnson describes rent as that which is derived from a rent-roll.---Mr. Jones (the Conservative agent) : Rental is no qualification in law.—Mr. Dear (the Liberal agent): Everything depends on the meaning which the barrister attaches to the word "rental."—The Barris ter : The amount received by a country gentleman is his rental. I feel very loth to strike out these names. I think I had better reserve the question.—Mr. Jones : I think so. It is a serious question.—After further con sideration on the 'point, the barrister decided to deliver his judgment at Brentford on Thursday. " COMPOUND HOUSEHOLDERS."—At Lambeth the list of occupiers lately known as " compound householders" was investigated, and a large proportion of the new names were struck out in the Camberwell district, and only those allowed where the persons were known to the rate col lectors as having occupied continuously for twelve months, or where they appeared in person to defend their claim. In a number of cases in which it proved that the landlords had paid, bond fide, the rates in the name of the tenant, the claimants were placed on the register of voters, the revising barrister stating that he was decidedly in' favour of the validity of such an arrangement, which had been most beneficially carried out by Miss Burdett ' Coutts's agent, and other owners of large premises used as model lodging-houses. A TECHNICAL VOTER.—In West Kent an inmate of a workhouse has been put on the register because he was in possession of the necessary qualification on the last day for making up the lists, although he parted with it twenty four hours afterwards. DR. TEMPLE STRUCK OFP.—In North Warwickshire, Dr. Temple, Master of Rugby School, was objected to by the Conservatives. Dr. Temple was placed on the list as a person who was rated to the relief of the poor at the sum of £l2 per annum, and the ground of opposition was that he was not so rated ; that according to the terms of his appointment he was compelled to reside in the house specified in the register, and that he was not a rate payer. The revising barrister said it was a great pity that Dr. Temple was not point, as it was necessary to prove that he had a beneficial holding. A long conversation ensued, the chief point being to ascer tain the beneficial interest of Dr. Temple in the school building, and ultimately the revising barrister decided that in the absence of Dr. Temple the claim could not be maintained. He wished to be satisfied that Dr. Temple had exclusive occupation and control, and the keys of the premises, and as that had not been proved the claim would be disallowed. Captain Saville, one of the largest landed proprie tors in the West Riding, has expressed his wish that all his tenantry will vote according to the dictates of their con science at the approaching election for the Southern Division of the West Riding. The contest promises to be of a very severe character, and it is earnestly hoped that Lord Fitz william and other Whig magnates will carry out their libe ral professions by following the example of Captain Saville and emancipating their tenantry.— orkshire Post. A SCOTTISH BISHOP ON DISESTABLISHMENT.—It does not require any great sagacity to predict that this kingdom and this Church are on the eve of great changes. In our position, we, who may be spared for a short time, will be able to look quietly on, our Church having centuries ago passed through those very changes which seem now to be imminent to the religious establishments of this land. We have passed through the storm, which swept away from us all our earthly things. But it could not affect the divine authority of the Church ; and during the quiet of succeeding years the Church has gradually been recovering from her depression ; and now that we have survived our evil days, when I look around, I, for one, dc not regret that our Church is free, and dependent upon the zeal and love of her faithful members. I believe, brethren, if we continue to labour earnestly in faith, and to walk in the via media, upholding Catholic dogma, which is Evangelical truth, a,n.l avoiding, either in Ritual or otherwise, things which have hitherto been consideree Roman Catholic, there is a great future for our Church When the threatening storm comes it cannot touch us, except in our sympathy with those affected, who are in communion with us. But we may do good to them—out suffering patience and constant witness to certain price ciples may be an example ; our gratification may be a guide, and our increasing prosperity may be an encourage. ment to churches who have to depend upon their divine constitution, in the promises of God and the alms of the faithful, instead of the authority of human law and the faiour of eat tidy, ptinces.7.rr9/A 0; Clams oi tkoido i • • - • LATEST INTELL MENCE.

The list of claimants for St. Ann's, Soho, was concluded this morning. The total number of new claims amounted to 469, of whom 250 were allowed and 219 expunged. After some discussion it was then decided to take the list for. St. Clements Danes. After this had been settled another controversy took place between the agents and the' revising bar rister with respect to the legality of the notices of objection to householders served by post. Mr. Noakes produced 14 duplicates of objections bear ing the Postmaster's stamp. Mr. Gilbert said it was not sufficient to prove that 3d. had been paid for each, but that each witness must be asked the question what had been paid. This controversy led to rather a warm conversation, but ultimately the Revising barrister decided that the duplicates were sufficient. Amongst the names struck out of the house holders' claims were those of Robert Henry Ody and John Price. The overseers said in the first case the executors were rated, and with respect to the other the claimant did not reside on the pre mises, 13, Milford-lane, which were popularly known as the barracks, and were let out in sepa rate tenements. THE LODGER CLAIMS. The wives of a number of claimants having proved their husbands' right to vote, Mr. Gilbert said he had a number of ladies who wished to prove their claims, but they resided in St. Mary-le-Strand. Mr. Noakes said he must object to any but those belonging to St. Clement's parish. Mr. Gilbert—Well as you've raised that objec tion, I hope you'll get the cold shoulder when you get home. (Laughter.) A claimant named James Nash here came for ward to prove his claim. Mr. Noakes protested against Nash's name being taken before others merely because he had pushed himself forward. There were between 40 and 50 persons in attendance, the time of each being quite as valuable as that of the man now making his claim. If the system of pushing was to be allowed to prevail the strongest man would get on the best. The Revising Barrister—Well, we will take the claimant, as he's got to the front, but the rest will be taken alphabetically. Nash's claim was then allowed. FURNISHED APARTMENTS.-A BEDROOM QUALIFICATION. Edward Barton claimed in respect of one room on the third floor of the house No. 30, Arundel-street, Strand. The qualification in question was a bed room, for which the claimant paid 6s. 6d. a week. - , The Revising Barrister said that was the first time that qualification had been put forward. Ile doubted whether it was sufficient. The room was a furnished bed room, and the question was whether it was of the annual value of £lO without the fur niture. The furniture in a house had been held to double its value. The claimant said it appeared to him the room was of the annual value of £lO. The sum of 3s. Bd. a week would be £lO a year, and certainly the room would bring over that. The Revising Barrister said he should allow the claim. JOINT OCCUPATION. Richard Brookes claimed for second and third floors, No. 29, Newcastle-street, for which he paid £1 is. a week. Mr. Noakes said there was another claim for a portion of that qualification, and therefore it was invalid as a joint occupation. The claimant said his son claimed for the third floor, he for the second. They each paid 10s. a week, but of course his son could enter his room. Mr. Noakes said the original claim had been made by the person present for second and third floor at a guinea a week, and it was now sought to divide the qualification into two distinct parts — that of father and son each paying 10s. a week. The Revising Barrister said he thought the ob jection was good, and therefore he should strike out the claim, CITY OF LONDON. This morning Mr. S. Percival, the revising bar rister for the city of London, resumed the inspec tion of the register for the City. Mr. Ledger and Mr. Harper represented the Liberal interest, and Mr. Smith the Conservative. BOUNDARY AND RATING. In this case Mr. Benjamin, of the East India Chambers, claimed to be inserted on the register on the ground that he was the occupier of Chambers iu the parish of St. Andrews, Undershaft. Mr. Ledger said he should oppose this claim on the ground that the claimant was not in the parish of St. Andrews at all, but in that of St. Peter's, Cornhill. When the East India Company built the chambers on the site of the old East India House, they arranged with the two parishes that they should pay on £ll,OOO rates, £9,000 to the first and £2,000 to the second. They also through out the chambers put up boundary marks, by which the parishes were distinctly defined, and according to these Mr. Benjamin occupied cha: bers in St. Peter's, although he was rated in S Andrew's. Ho contended that this was an insur• mountable objection. Mr. Smith urged that the court had nothing to do with the arrangement of the parish boundaries. Mr. Percival said that he considered that the question of bouniiry was a case for the court. The claim was struck out. ACCIDENT TO A PERFORMER ON TIIE TRAPEZE.— An unusual accident befell a performer on the high trapeze, at the theatre, Preston, on Monday evening. The man, who assumed the name of Clevoyn, was performing on a bar about 30 feet above the stage, when he fell down.

ENGLISH OPINIONS CONCERNING FRENCH POLICY. Necessity is the mother of invention, and some thing more, says a contemporary. It is a huge gaping abyss, to fill which thrones must be tumbled over, empires destroyed, the interests of peoples remorselessly sacrificed, and the cause of peace and prosperity in the world ruthlessly op posed. The particular form of necessity which makes these somewhat insatiable, not to say un reasonable, requirements is something to write about. The press is an overwhelming po wer in the State, and the exigencies of leader -writing surpass all minor considerations of justice, truth, and policy. The necessity of producing so many columns of editorial discourse per diem creates a demand for subjects, which will take no denial, and, failing a prompt response, nothing is more natural than that Necessity shall fall back on her maternal faculty, and invent what she is unable to find. Such being the state of matters, what more easy than for a leading journal at its wit's ends for a topic to commence its sage lucubrations with an intimation to the effect that " a rumour is current concerning General Menabrea which cannot be lightly set aside,", yet of which the sagacious censor is " unwilling to admit the authenticity till it receives the official confirmation of the Italian. Prime Minister himself ;" and from this convenient start-point to strike off into a general rechauffe of the Italian and Roman questions, gracefully an notating the retrospect with criticisms the reverse of complimentary to the Italian and French nations, and personally defamatory of the French Emperor ? As a matter of fact, the limes has nothing fresh to tell the world about Mentana, or Rome and the " Antibes Legion" this morning. No new light has dawned on the vexed question of Italian greed and the integrity of the States of the Church. Be t there was grievous need of a topic, and our con temporary could have no difficulty in finding some thing sufficiently pointed or even spiteful to sal of Napoleon the Third, the best abused, mee t scandalously irritated, and yet the most peaceable and peacemaking monarch in Europe. The dis tressed journalist has therefore without remorse revived the defunct disturber of European peace' reopened the old sore, and the world and public opinion in England are once more provoked to le termeddle and muddle in the affairs of Italy with out a sufficient occasion or any definite cause. Th e September Convention, which is alleged to hav e been " one of those transactions of which, oil to the besetting irresolution of his character, an also to the peculiar difficulties of his position, the Emperor Napoleon alone, of all men past and pre sent, could have been capable," is said tc be th e ground of a new demand on the part of Italy for the evacuation of Rome by the French troop 0 . The .7imes condemns this demand, supposing it i ° have been made. But on what grounds ? T he fo' lowing sentence places the view taken by our con' temporary, and evidently suggested for th e con sideration of Italian statesmen, beyond question "The Emperor Napoleon has never said that th e Italians should have Rome ; he has, on the coo.' trary, plainly declared that they should not W e it. Unless they are strong enough to make him will!' draw that declaration, they had better ab3tai o from every step that may remind him of the r lf . wishes." In short, the article points to war. 1! does not in so many words say to Italy, " v ier the French out of Rome," but with a siniste r sn i ; calculated to produce more effect on the I talian temperament than a volume of advice, it saps' el " Unless you are strong enough to Comp compliance do not threaten." So much to the Government and people of Italy ; meantime the leading English journal has a word for the Fre e !. people : it was "to the vaingloriousness of tu ; whole of the Grand Nation that the EreP er ° Napoleon deemed himself bound to sacrifice his Italian sympathies. Had there never been Sadowa, we should never have heard of a l‘leut e not It was because an army of half-a-millio n was co ready to uphold the lustre of the French are': the Rhine that a necessity was felt to s eed vision of twenty thousand to re-assert the Sse` An a ancy of French diplomacy on the Tiber. oste s so on until the charge of pusillanimity eel rel te as in the assertion that the reoccupation of R° 73e tia ge merely an act of cheap bravado.
