SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOUILNALS. The Saturday Review says that Mr. Disraeli has been compared by some of his critics to Louis Napoleon, and whatever similarity there is between unscrupulous success and unscrupulous failure may undoubtedly be pleaded in favour of that comparison. But upon the newspapers of their party the rule of these two potentates does produce a very similar effect. It is as hard to get at genuine Con servative opinion, undoctored by whips or agents, as it is to get at Imperialist opinion which owes nothing to the inspiration of the Minister of the Interior. We do not know what the mass of unofficial Conservatives, who have got nothing and have nothing to get, think of the success which has attended the brilliant manoeuvres of 1857 ; but we shall now try to conjecture what they feel, or at any rate what they ought to feel. rt is not very easy for out side observers to penetrate the inarticulate thoughts of the country squires in Parliament whose docility passed the Reform Bill of that year. Their intellectual processes will always remain to a great extent inscrutable. We learned on that occasion that Mr. Disraeli can cajole them by pretences flimsier than have been used by any similar artist in that line since the days of Titus Oates. We can not be certain, therefore, how far the rude shock of the last fortnight has awakened them even now. But even the spectators at a country fair require some kind of coarse success fromthe mountebank they are watching ; and one would think that all the ingenious consolations of Mr. Noel and Mr: Spofforth would be inadequate to neutralise the figures which meet their eyes every morning now. This at least, it-should seem, is clear, that as far as elec tioneering results go, the course which Mr. Disraeli has taken is as damaging to the Conservatives as any course could possibly have been. Lord Derby laid it down that the great object of his Reform policy was "to take such measures as should turn his minorityinto a majority." Mr. Disraeli told them that he had resisted the line of £7, and accepted household suffrage,'" because that measure would not injure the Conservative party." By promises such as these, scattered still more lavishly in private, the Conservative members, up to their ears in anti democratic pledges, voted enthusiastically for the platform of the most extreme Reformers in the House. The " dodge" has ridiculously failed. The Conservatives appeared to believe with such a placid confidence that their leader's tortuous course was guiding them to victory, that many of their opponents were inclined to think there must be something in it after all. At all events it was premature to draw any conclusion as to the wisdom of their course as long as that confidence was undisturbed. Now, however, it is safe to say that of all the hallucinations that ever vexed a political party, theirs stands easily at the head. The moral of it is that respectable country squires should not try finessing. No doubt they did it in good faith, under the advice of those who had reasons for the advice they gave. The distance between Liberal and Conservative is much the same as it was before ; but both bodies have travelled in three years over ground that, under less clever management, might have occupied a generation. That achievement completes the advantages which Mr. Disraeli has conferred on the cause he was employed to save. To have changed a majority of sixty into a majority of a hundred ; to have changed their opponents from a rabble into a disciplined host ; and to have made the Liberals into Radicals, is about the net result to the Conservatives of the Con servative strategy of 1867. The Spectator thinks the election will convince Liberals —leaders, members, and editors all alike—of the wretched folly of neglecting the counties any longer. They have thought effort useless because the constituency was so narrow. It was useless to argue, or teach, or lecture, while a few families could, if combined, drive a majority of the fifty-pounders to the poll. They have consequently neglected the counties, have allowed the small county papers to fall into inferior hands, have taught nobody, have treated all county claims with a listless attention strongly contrasted with their zeal in removing every commercial grievance. They have offered the farmers nothing, not even a patient hearing, and have allowed the Tories to spread far and wide the idea that they represented the great "agricultural interest," the interest which of all others most keenly feels any even accidental grievance. Men who at best hope only for an average eight per cent. feel an addition to rates, an injustice about educational grants, a special tax, a defect of communication, as tradesmen who expect thirty cannot do, while from the constitution of English society they are of all men least liable to feel the contagion of new ideas. The Liberal chiefs must exert themselves to educate, the counties, to shew themselves distinctly favourable to freedom in the corn manufacture, to spread ideas, to infuse a leaven of liberality into the country clergy ; above all, to remove the impression that they, like the writers in Punch, think a man a fool because he dresses in a way most suitable to his own business. If this election startles the Liberals into a new attitude towards the counties, an attitude of greater liberality, justice, and sympathy, this year's defeat will yet be worth to then many victories. According to the Imperial Review the sketch Mr. Glad stone has given of himself and of the growth and develop. ment of his opinions, is one that will tend to confirm pre vailing impressions as to his unfitness for the work of practical politics. Mr. Gladstone is, in only too great a degree, "a dreamer of dreams - born out of his due time." The curious irresoluteness of temperament, the fanciful subtlety in speculation, the indefinite character of his views, the instability of his opinions, the plasticity of intellect that receives all impressions and retains none, are all traits that debar him from success in statesman ship. He has been drifting all his life, without clear convictions to guide his course, only moved by confused and often conflicting sympathies, of a somewhat, feminine_ incoherence and a more than feminine intensity. If the "Chapter of Autobiography" were to be generally read, the faith of not a few of his ardent admirers in his infallibility would be shaken. But life is short, and Mr. Gladstone's deliverances, written as well as oral, are very long. And it is to be feared that the present statement will not receive the attention that those who hesitate to accord political confidence to the member for Greenwich would desire it to gain. The London Review remarks : How flavourless hence forward the dish of parliamentary salad ! Vanished the vinegar and the oil, the pepper and the sugar, the calm wisdom of Mill, the tart virulence of Roebuck, the elabo rate staginess of Horsman's oratory, the pungent humour of Osborne. Reporters shall strain their ears no more to catch the rapid utterances which so inadequately con veyed the close and masterful thought of the first thinker of the age. The scornful index finger, downward point ing, of the rejected of Sheffield, shall have no opportunity of rousing Tory • cheers as it indicates " the right hon. gentleman. the me.mber.for Greenwich." Mr. Roebuck's behaviour in the last Parliament disgusted all parties. even the Tories, on whom he fawned, as he had fawneC before on Louis •Napoleon. His intemperate Weeks on the working men discredited the Trades Union Commis• sion ; and his alliance during the recent contest at Sheffiel3 with the Broadhead faction proved how little honest earnestness had underlain his former attacks upor the unions in Sheffield. The bad taste of his speech at the banquet to Mr. Reverdy Johnson had also something to do with his rejection; but the main reason of his defeat. was the same that procured Mr. Osborne's—the un certainty of his Liberalism. This also completed Mr. Horsman's' overthrow, in spite of some forced advances to the Democratic party. Stroud was not to be purchased by one of the leaders of the Adullamite revolt, even when he bid so high as to offer the whole House of Peers at a sacrifice. And throughout the country the same tern per prevailed. Adullamy is dead and buried ; the party dis- cipline among Tories and Liberals is stronger now than it has been since the repeal of the Corn Laws. The causes of Mr. Mill's rejection at Westminster we have already incidentally alluded to. His noblest public acts and his gravest public errors, his eminence as a speculative philosopher, and his private theological opinions, all con tributed to eject him from the representation of the City of the Swells. His prosecution of Mr. Eyre, his advocacy of Mr. Chadwick's claims and of Mr. Bradlaugh, and his recognised position as the leader of the Rationalistic school of thought in England, alienated, jointly and severally, some powerful sections of electors who are usully classed as Liberals. It is unnecessary here to say how great a blow to the prestige and true worth of the House of Commons we consider Mr. Mill's defeat, It is now, for the present, irreversible mid irreparable. Mr. Mill is among the beaten candidates—a significant fact enough, when we look at some of those who have been successful. The John Bull says that never has her Majesty done more .popular act—rarely so graceful a one—as in making Mrs. Disraeli a peeress in her own right. The great champion of Church and State could not be spared from the House of Commons for many a long year, and the Queen rightly felt that to wait till be might retire as Earl of Hugbenden, to the calmer atmosphere of the House of Lords, before she expressed her sense of his distinguished scrvices, would be a slight on the services be has rendered the Crown and nation amidst unparalleled difficultics and unscrupulous opposition. It is a. trite s:lying that great men have very often commonplace wives, but the history of modern English statesmen would seem to disprove it. The influence Lady Palmerston exercised on the political world was very considerable ; and if Mrs. Disraeli and lIrs: Gladstone have made their influence less directly felt, both we believe to have shared most completely in the sorrows and joys of th e i r h us b an d s ' varying fortnnes. None who heard Mr. Disraeli's speech at the great Edin 7.argh banquet, in which he said he owed all his success in life to his wife, and Mr. Baillie Cochrane's testimony to her virtues, can doubt that amidst the unce,t,ing harass of a Stateman's life, especially of one who ha. r i6en by his own Mrs. exerti raelions and has een. had to encounter untiring jealousy, Dis has bthe judicious surviser, the ministering angel, of the rtntilint4n whos e merits an admiring posterity, if not Vilvious conkiDVOraties, Will DDT-40CW; CITY RAILROAD. new method of applying steam for 10661118tNfe DO. poses on street railways, so as to avoid the use of fire in the engine while running on the streets, has been exhibited on a temporary traer. In this engine the necessity for a firebox, smoke-stack, &c., is done away with by substitut ing a strong tank or reservoir for holding water previously heater to a high temperature in a stationary boiler. The water so heated is forced into the locomotive tank, and is capable of giving off an amount of working steam for a considerable length of time sufficient to drive the engine and draw one or more cars. The new locomotive weighs about five tons when fully supplied with the requisite storage of heated water. At the trial it ran 45 minutes, making 125 stoppages, and reducing the steam pressure from 801 b. at starting to 201 b. when the trial ceased. No noise was made other than the rumble of the wheels over the rails, and the machine seemed to he at all times under the perfect control of the engineer, being stopped almost instantly while running at the rate of six miles per hour. The temperature of the water is kept up by a non conducting jacket, three inches thick, around the tank. It is proposed, in adapting the invention to the street cars, to place a stationary steam boiler at the end of the road to charge the locomotive with a sufficient quantity of hot water to perform the trip.—Philadelphia Ledger. 2HE VISIT OF THE AMERICAN MINISTER TO BIRMINGHAM. The following is the address (agreed upon by the Town Council of Birmingham) which is to be presented to Mr. Reverdy Johnson on the occasion of his visit to the Mid land metropolis :—" We, the mayor, aldermen, and bur gesses of the borough of Birmingham, desiring not to -be among the last of the great cities of this kingdom in recognising the presence of your Excellency among us, gladly avail ourselves of the opportunity now afforded of congratulating your Excel lency and your fellow-citizens upon the successful issue of a mission entrusted to your Excellency, by which, in the agreement of two great nations for the peaceable adjust ment of international questions of remotedate and formid able dimensions, a material guarantee has been obtained for the peace of the world. This transaction, concluded by the instrumentality of your Excellency and Lord Stanley, we regard as the victory of religion and morality enforced by reason over the baser feelings of human nature, and as a glorious proof of the continued advance of the great prin ciples of truth and justice side by side with civilisa tion in its progress through the nations of the earth. The Divine blessing was bestowed of old upon peace makers, and blessed indeed are the peacemakers who, by preventing painful estrangements, bring together the hands of hesitating kindred, and restore a good understanding in lieu of the mistrust and suspicion which before unhappily existed. It has been the privilege and the happiness of your Excellency and Lord Stanley to effect this most desirable consummation on behalf of the people of the United States and Great Britain, and long may your Excellency live to contemplate the fruit of your labours, and to witness the increased and still increasing happiness and prosperity of both nations." EKE COURT OF EXCHEQUER. The Law Journal, "with much regret," notices the languishing condition of business in the Court of Exchequer. The interest attaching to the Court of Exchequer, from historical and other associations, is so great, that every one would be sorry to hear of its ex tinction. But the expense of the establishment is con siderable, especially since a new judge has 'been added, and there is something highly absurd in the spectacle of a Chief Baron and three barons sitting in state with nothing to occupy their time, and, as it were, living their briefless days over again. The common-law business of the Court of Eichequer increased very much soon after the late Lord Wensleydale took his seat there, though for some time it was said that counsel were almost invited to exhaust their arguments, as there was plenty of time for everybody. His lordship passed away, and a great deal of the business with him. Upon the appointment of Sir Fitzroy Kelly to the post of Chief Baron, it was expected that matters would change. But the stream of business continued sluggish. In one respect this was an advantage. A rule for a new trial might be obained and cause shewn against it in the orditary course during the same term--a result which is not likely ever to be achieved in the Queen's Bench. But a court must decline in dignity if it has no more to do than to ask counsel whether they move, to nominate the sheriffs, or to hold converse with the Lord Mayor on November 0. Perhaps the Judicature Commission may find a method for utilising the energies of the court. MORE POWDER-MILL EXPLOSIONS. --4 b We have to-day to record two powder-mill explosiOns. On Thursday one took place at the Allan Blasting-Powder Works, Truro, but caused no loss of life. The cause of the explosion originated in the sulphur grinding-house (which is attached to the saltp3tre and sulphur storee), by, it is supposed, the accidental presence of a piece of iron among the sulphur being ground. This, or the stones striking each other, and so sending a spark into the sulphur, the latter took fire, which spread to the wookwork, and rapidly increased. All hands were called, and although a plentiful supply of water was at hand, the flames could not be subdued. The roof, the adjoining stores, and the trees overhead took fire, and the burning embers were carried by the wind some distance. It was now seen that all attempts to put out the fire would be ineffectual, and if the driving embers lodged on either of the build ings near an explosion must take place, with, no doubt, loss of life. The men sought places of safety, and scarcely had two minutes elapsed when one after another in quick succession, three charge-houses, in each of which there were four or five cwt. of powder—the dry-house and packing-house—exploded. All these houses are corn 7letely destroyed. Of the packing-house not a vestige remains, the entire building having been carried to a great distance, as well as the roof of the other buildings. The stables, office, cooperage, and engine -house were much shaken and partially unroofed. Trees are uprooted, and large branches are torn off by the force of the shock. Near the sulphur-house was a large iron water-wheel, which was blown out of its bearings and broken to pieces. The damage can hardly be estimated as yet ; but it cannot be very great, as the, buildings were so lightly put together, and the machinery is but little injured. This is the fifth accident that has occurred at these works. The other explosion took place at the Lowood Powder Works, Lancaster. John Pratt, aged 54, and Thomas Benson, aged 38, were killed. William Walter, Samuel Waterhouse, and John Shexton were so seriously injured that they are not expected to live. So far as can be ascer tained, everything was in perfect working order at the time of the explosion. The premises were considerably damaged. NEW ZEALAND ARISTOCRACY.—A laughable in cident occurred a few nights ago here, at a ball at which the elite only were present. Among others, Mete King, one of the Maori representatives, a savage who cannot speak English, and who, to make himself bearable, should use unlimited quantities of eau do cologne, was present. He " moved " about, scarcely speaking, but at last seeing a lady with very fine arms, which were bare a little above the elbow, be went up to her, and pointing to her arm, said, " Kaipai, kaipai, fat" (good, good, fat), at the same time smacking his lips longingly.—. New Zealand Paper. THE CESSION OF GIBRALTAR.—The question of the cession of Gibraltar is by no means forgotten in Spain, raid it may be expected to crop up at intervals whenever a favourable opportunity appears. The last on the subject is a letter written from London to a Barcelona journal, in which the matter is discussed at length. The correspondent does not attempt to adduce arguments in support of ces sion, but confines himself to remarking that the question has been reopened, and that it will be brought seriously before the new House of Commons. That Gibraltar is useless for the purpose it is supposed to serve remains to be seen. The Mediterranean is now our highway to India, and Gibraltar stands at the gate. But apart from such considerations is that of prestige. No true Englishman could be otherwise than wounded at the surrender of a fortress so inseparably connected with the glories of the past.•—Gibraltar Chronicle, aYor•. 18. DOUBLE RETURNS.—The Law 'Tolima gives the :aw on double returns. A question has been mooted whether, if a member is returned for two places, his elec tion to sit for one of the places has the effect of seating the candidate who was neat to him on the poll in the other. A supposition so absuni, and so contrary to the whole meaning and principle of the law of elections, scarcely deserves consideration. But it has been seriously urged that, if Mr. Gladstone had succeeded in South-west Lancashire, and had abandoned Greenwich, Sir W. Paiker could have claimed the latter seat. Probably it never occurred to the propounder of this theory to ask himself what would have h a pp ene d i f Sir W. Parker and Lord Mahon had been candidatts, and had retired on the declaration of the show of hands ; or, indeed, what would have happened if Alderman Salomons and Mr, Gladstone had been returned without opposition, The fact is, that where a member returned to the Clerk of the Crown elects not to sit for the place for which he is returned, the place is without a tnem, her, the seat is void, and a new election must be 11 , -.ld, ,A, member returned for two places must make id Within one week after the.expipgigH pf thv Rulted for uregttli;_ EYE ErNSBERY FROME.-., FLINT .-.

For some time previously the Mikado had been gaining ground, and had overcome part of the territory formerly governed by the Tycoon. The cities had been taken possession of in the name of the new ruler, and his administration had been extended to this newly-acquired territory. The Tycoon retired from the conflict, but it was still sustained by some of the princes of the North, though with little thane of success. The mode of fighting in this region is most extraordi nary. The ordinary rules of war are set at defiance, and hostilities are kept up by a series of desultory combats. The soldiers of the North and the South live together in the same city in perfect harmony, whilst a combat a, entrance between other corps of their respective sides is being carried on under their observation. (From the Anglo-American Times.) The Hamburg American steamer IVestphalia passed the Needles yesterday afternoon, and the Cunarder Java reached Queenstown at 10.40 a.m., the news being just in time to give, though too late to be arranged in its proper order in our columns. The Java landed seven passengers and over one hundred sacks of mails. Her dates from New York are to the 18th November. The Governor of North Carolina announces the State debt to be over $19,000,000. The Governor of Florida and the Lieutenant-Governor, who claims the governor ship ou account of the impeachment of that official, are issuing rival proclamations, each assuming the full functions of the office. Messrs. Wright's report states that the frosts have set in early throughout the South, but no damage has been done to the crap of cotton. Brilliant meteoric showers were observed throughout the country ou the night of the 13th inst. A Cuban filibustering expedition is being organized at New Orleans, al though the fact has been officially denied. Tele grams from Cuba state that the Cuban insurgents had destroyed portions of the railway between Puerto Principe and Nuentas. A financial panic broke out at St. John's, New Brunswick, on Mon day. The colonial press generally pronounce the Nova Scotia repeal movement a failure. As conjectured, Grant's letter bag swelled to prodigious proportions after the 3d instant. The Tribune amused itself by analyzing its contents, availing itself of the opportunity to hit hard at some public men, and rap beggars over the knuckles. But, however amusing, little good is effected, for it would be as well to try and roll back the torrent of Niagara as that of mendicity. The gentry now flying at Grant do not confine them selves to applications for the public money, or for office, but they ask him for loans, for gifts, for goods, and even if they get his autograph it is worth something in the market. He has, how ever, taken a summary way of dealing with this nuisance, though they say so ingenious and perti nacious were some of his assailants that he was beaten ere he fled from Washington. Indeed, he left the heads of Bureaux in the Departments, in cluding all who, in a body, had waited on President Johnson after the Philadelphia Convention, with John Wilson, third auditor, primed with a speech, at their head, in the lurch, by his precipitate de parture on the night of the 12th. Having been asked by a visitor whether it was true that he had directed bis Private Secretary, General Badeau, to destroy all applications for office, without showing them to him, he replied, " Yes, some of the ap plications might be from good men, and I don't want to get prejudiced against them by their un timely haste." The Court of Inquiry on General Dyer, to act as President of which, General Thomas was brought from Nashville, leaving his command, commenced sit ting on the 9th inst., at Washington. David Dudley Field of New York is Gen. Dyer's principal counsel. Mr. Kennon acts for the ordnance manufacturers and others, who urged the accusation against the general, and was introduced to the Court on the 13th instant. It hail been adjourned on account of the alisence of Colonel Winthrop, oue of the counsel for the Government, till Friday, the 13th, when it was again adjourned to Monday, the 16th, to give Mr. Kennon time to examine and arrange proof for the prosecution. Horatio Ames, Clifford Arriah, and other extensive manufacturers in Pennsylvania and Ohio had brought the accusation against Dyer. Secretary Seward, when the mail left, was hunt ing in Maryland, and if thus occupied there is some truth in his statement that he is not used up, and matrimony may not be so far distant as he pre tends. Grant left Washington suddenly on pri vate business, which will occupy a week, and ho will visit his son at the Military Academy at West Point before his return. Commissioner Rollins has been consulting with Secretary M'Culloch about supervisors, but no conclusions had been arrived at nor nominations made. The annual reports are much occupying the Secretaries. Schofield had received that of the Adjutant-General of the Army, and Rollins, while at work on his, refuses to receive visitors. All the Cabinet were present at the meet ing on the 13th inst. except Schofield and Seward. The former was visiting General Van Vliet, at Baltimore, the latter also being in Maryland. After the Cabinet meeting of the 13th, the Pre sident heard Mr. Fullerton on the subject of the charges alleged against Messrs. Courtney and Murray, when Fullerton in vain urged him to prompt action, although it is said that Andrew Johnson leans towards Judge Fullerton's views The Attorney-General is on the other side, and Mr. M'Culloch is neutral. Finally, the President in formed Fullerton that, acting on the opinions of M'Culloch and Evarts he had postponed a decision, and he held that the charges against Mr. Courtney were insufficient to warrant suspension, but he granted Fullerton's request to be allo are I to call additional evidence. Thereupon I\[r. Fuller to immediately departed for New York, accompanied by Dr. Blaisdell, Jacob Depuy, and Bernard Hess, while Mr. Courtney remains iu Washington await ing their further investigations. Meanwhile the dispute is one of the most bitter, and is attracting the attention of the country. Giliner's charges against the Internal Revenue Bureau in Richmond, Virginia, has been dismissed as unfounded by the President. An American Club has been successfully estab lished in Dresden, forty members having alrea ly subscribed. Dresden is one of the most charming cities in Northern Europe, and Americans have the wisdom while residing there to lose no means of making themselves comfortable. Such an insti tution must tend greatly to promote the enjoy ment of a people who are gregarious, and who in a foreign city may not readily have the means of seeking out their countrymen, which they can only now do through the medium of the bankers, Messrs. Robert Thode and Co. Americans who propose to make any stay in Dresden ought to send in their names for membership, which we dare say could be done through that banking firm. The New York Evening Post describes Mr. Laird's social position in words which would tend greatly, if he read them, to destroy his digestion. English men see the harm he has done, for purely selfish ends, in estranging 70,000,000 English-speaking people who ought to be friends. Liberals abhor him, Tories avoid him, and everywhere he finds only cold faces and looks of aversion. "Heis no ronger tolerated in society, and has, in fact, the mark of Cain upon him." Such was the position from which the Representative of Americans stretched forth his baud to lift him, after compli menting two of America's most unscrupulous vili fiers. In fact, adds the Evening Post, he did all he could to insult the just and respectable sentiment in England, and rehabilitate Laird. We get papers sent from all quarters, with articles " marked" in abuse of Mr. Reverdy Johnson ; but our opinion is that he will do what he has often done before, out live this, although we have not hesitated to express an opinion that his salutation of Mr. Laird was an act we have never been able to understand or ac count for, and one, much as we respect the Minis ter's judgment, was one dictated by an undue desire to set the company at case—forgetful that he was not a mere individual, acting as his own courteous feelings would dictate, but as the Repre sentative of a nation, the mass of whom were cer tain fiercely to repudiate the course. In a leading article we have discussed the misre presentations of the Philadelphia correspondent of the Times in his letter of the 10th inst. ; but we must add a word on that of the 13th of November, published yesterday, in proof of his political bias. He gives some of the evidence taken against those charged with election frauds. Here are the only two instances in which either party was named : " Duffy and others told the inspector if he swore another Democratic voter that day they would drag him out of the window . . that persons outside (several persons) said if any Democrats were sworn at said division that day, the inspectors would be torn from the bcx." Hence the readers would con clude that the frauds were on the part of the Re publicans, although the correspondent knew the reverse to be the case, the chief frauds being carried on in the large cities, controlled by the Democrats. " Four divisions," he says. " containing 2,000 legal voters, returned 5,000 votes, over 4,600 of them for one party, and were enabled to do it by the pro cesses above described." But he ought to have added that the Democrats were the party. We profess no political bias, but we do want the truth to be told whether the telling injures Republican or Democrat, Tory or Radical, America or England. The Java arrived at Queenstown before noon yes terday, but her news only reached London last night. The City of Paris, a vessel of which any line might well be proud, as usual, was in good time with the mails of the 11th inst., but for two consecutive mails before, the bulk of our papers only came to hand on Friday, and we have to go to press before midnight. The American Minister to-night dines with some workmen of London, in St. James's-hall, an invi tation which he has cordially accepted, and which will be better received in the United States than any other. The limes says the invitation of the Chamber of Commerce is announced for Wednes day next. The whole of the dinner tickets have been disposed of ; Mr. Bright will be present, and the Lord-Lieutenant of the county, together with the other members for the borough and the north ern division of the county, have been invited. Ad dresses will be presented by the Corporation and the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Johnson will be the guest of Mr. Alfred Field, Vice-President of the Chamber, at his residence, at Leamington, on Tuesday evening. On Wednesday night he will stay with Mr. George Dixon, M.P. ; on Thursday he will, it is expected, go to some of the manufac tories in the town and district. Recently we alluded to an arrest by the New York police of a carter, who took a case of ready -made cloth ing from 51, Walker-street, to 153, Laurens-street, kept by a " fence" named Linebeck, instead of to the Savannah steamer, as directed. The police were watching the carter, anxious for information by which to account for numerous robberies of goods in transit from the warehouse to the customer. No sooner was the case rolled into the house than Linebeck appeared, hatchet in hand, knocked off the top, removed three-fourths of the contents, which he replaced with cheap Canton flannel, and was about to re-cart the package for the Savannah steamer, when the detective stepped up and Line beck evaporated through the back door, but Feeney was captured. Directed by his confession the police arrested two other cartmen, the three having been engaged in the business, which they had carried on most satisfactorily to themselves for two years, though far from satisfactorily to the merchants who sold and the retail traders who bought. Many who ordered rich silks and satins received invoices charging for those goods, while the cases contained only cheap calicoes. Then com menced the row, both refusing to be defrauded, and many a law suit was the result. Linebeck never kept the goods he abstracted a single day on the premises, and the thieves carefully covered up every trace, while they plundered in this simple and pro fitable manner, Feeney's share alone having atnoutated to $30,000. _ _ Unearthing revenue frauds seems to be the last great excitement, and Judge Fullerton is employed with this object in New York. Extensive frauds are reported to have been discovered at Richmond by John 11. Gilmer, but no one believes him, as he is alleged to be employed by Binckley. The sensa tion is Belknap's affair. Persons suborned by him are said to have made affidavits that they had been suborned after being imprisoned, charged with perjury. The story is, that Belknap, who as a pay master, had been dismissed from the navy on the loss of a large sum of public money, obtained an appointment in the Treasury, which he used to ter rify Smith a New York collector, out of a bribe of $30,000 hush money, Smith retiring to Canada. He then turned on another collector, but, unfor tunately for him, he acted on the theory that all were dishonest, and therefore at his mercy if he boldly advanced and supported charges. In this case lie got hold of the wrong man, as bis accom plices became the victims, and they no sooner con' fessed, than Smith reappeared, and wrung back from Belknap a large portion of the hush money. Judge Fullerton was employed to defend Belknap, and proceeded to Washington to lay his case before the President and charges against Mr. Bailey and Mr. Courtney, the District Attorney of •Ne' York, who in many ways has .made himself obnoxious to the "Ring," and the President is in vestigating the matter. The intricacies of these frauds, twisted by the actors therein, honest men can scarcely hope to unravel, and J. W. Fullerton, wb ° is a man of high character, will have a nice time of it. Attorney Courtney states that he has n ot pro ceeded with the indictments against the Kentucky Bourbon Company and other parties, on account of orders received from Washington, for, say s rumour, these parties were useful during the Bina" ley examination in charging officiAs obnoxious to the President with frauds. We note with pleasure that the negotiations re specting the bases of a new postal treaty between England and North Germany have led to th e drawing up of a protocol, which has been signed , and which stipulates that the rate of postage be" tweeu the two countries shall be 2± silver groschen (3d). It has also been agreed to introduce the system of post-office orders. The negotiations for the formal conclusion of a postal treaty will shortly be opened. This is another step in the right dire?' tion, which, we hope, eventually will reach a uni" versa! penny postage. It has always appeared probable that Mr. Re" verdy Johnson would suffer from being the selection and representative of his namesake, the President' Andrew Johnson has so lost the confidence of the mass of Americans that the moment the Minister ell' tered on delicate negotiations suspicion was likely to be aroused. We have mentioned this more than once , but it is now evident in America, and shown by Mr. Seward, between whom and the President a differ ence of opinion has arisen regarding these negocia• tious. The Minister of State considers that M r. Reverdy Johnson has conceded more than allowed by his instructions, unless he had secret instruction s from the President himself. The truth is that Mr' Johnson got all it was possible to procure, and all America was justified in demanding, and it will be unfair if his countrymen do not place this to bi s credit, however fiercely they may assail his cordi ality towards Mr. Laird, and his friendliness to th e other enemies of his country. The folly of permitting criminals to escape the consequences of their crimes, which is too often th e case iu the United States, arising from that good nature which makes so many shrink from injuring others, received fresh illustration on the 7th in st. Mr. M'Culloch telegraphed to Mr. Van Dyck, nci Saturday, to relieve the money market by the Pur chase of bonds with greenbacks or 3 per Cent. G er. ficates. A New York anl Phil a d e l p hi a brokers ' firm intercepted the message in some w a y, a nd mediately swept the bond market of 1867'5, the Pri ce being run up to 1101 befo re M r .

The cons eque nce is s eeo in the instance above given, but we hope and b ,„ lieve tbat the public having happily se ttled the al' sorbing political contest, will turn their attention to setting such matters to rights. Among these, is the shameful lengths to which rings of specul a to rs are now carry i ng on gain er difficult to distingui s h f rom f rau d s .

Ihe Times correspondent gives some interesting parti culars of the progress of the war in New Zealand—a pro gress which hitherto has been wholly in a backward direction. The defeat of the colonial forces under Colonel Mfflonnell on the 7th of December was owing to the detachment losing its way in a der.se forest. After wandering about for some time, tbc colonists entered a gully, which was surrounded by the natives in ambush, who immediately opened fire from the tops of trees and from loopboled hollow trunks. Part of the colonial force had been enlisted but two months previously, and these were speedily seized with a panic, throwing down their arms and attempting to escape. By the assistance of some native guides, the band, which numbered 250 men, at length managed to get oat Lf this position; but one major, two captains, two lieutenants, and fourteen men were killed, besides twenty-four wounded. A thorough disorganisation cf the colonial forces was the consequence of this disaster. Drunkenness wn carried to such an excess that Government has.t;!y passed a bill through the Assembly, authorising the ei;sing of public-houses, and the grog was forthwith shipped away. M'Donnell, from being a general favourite, was declared unfit for his position ; numbers of the men swore they would never go out again ; Von Tempsky's company mutinied ; and within one month the force of about 700 was reduced, by desertions, mutiny, disbanding, and expiration of service, nearly one-half. Then followed a disgrace which had never before befallen New Zealand. Outposts were abandoned; almost under the fire of the enemy, and a district which had been 'making good pro gress was given up to the natives, who burnt houses, fences, and everything that would burn. A general rising has been urged by the Mabri King. All accounts from this quarter of the world shew that the colonists have met with complete discomfiture, and that they are even in a measure dependent upon the friendly natives for tiro- I 11 tection. THE HUDSON'S BAY TERRITORY. The Canadian News does not hold out any hope of cash payment to the Hudson's Bay Company. It says that the Canadian delegates have maintained their former attitude ; they have made suggestions for a settlement of the whole question, but they will not consent to any present payment. " The Canadian Government is prepared, in assuming the territory, to incur the necessary outlay for the establishment of a Government in Rupert's Land, and for opening up proper means of communication between the Red River and the Dominion ; but beyond this no further pecuniary liability can be assumed by Canada." The Southern Railway Company of Italy are about to establish a line of steamers between Brindisi and Bombay.
