Little or no good can be gained by the infusion of so much bitterness of spirit in the shape of temporary advancement ; while, on the other hand, the tone of public life is lowered by it, and the general interest of the community sacrificed by in dividual prejudice. The members for Oxfordshire appeared at the Agricultural Society's anniversary festival, but they did not touch upon the more irritating subjects of pub lic controversy. Mr. HENLEY wisely refrained from departing from the supposed rule, as too many contrive to do, truly premising that the present was no fit time to make the experiment, because the whole ground is now covered with gun powder, " and every man who lets an incautious spark fall upon it may cause a -blaze which no one can stop." At the same time he took the opportunity of acknowledging the courtesy which he had met with from those who held different opinions from himself—acting on the principle that distinguishes Englishmen of giving n, man credit for doing his best according to his own particular views. Concerning the cattle plague, Mr. HENLEY made some observations, which are interesting, as he is an authority on such matters. Although some alarm has been created from the other side of the water, the right hon. gentleman thinks that we have no cause for fear here, and may safely trust to the vigilance of those who have the charge of such matters. A gap of a hundred year had elapsed before the last visitation occurred, and we must hope that a still longer period may inter vene before the plague again infests our shores. Colonel NORTH'S remarks were chiefly directed to those topics which most intimately relate to his profession. increased pay which the soldier now receives contribute greatly to the advantage and efficiency of the army, and men of a superior class have joined the ranks. This is satisfactory intelli gence at all events. He also alluded to the sterling services the British army had rendered in Abyssinia, whereby the character of the country for military superiority was so greatly enhanced. On Monday evening a meeting took place at Bury for the purpose of hearing an address from Viscount CHELSEA, the Conservative candidate. The noble lord declared himself as a Liberal Con servative, and explained that this was often ob jected to as the definition of political principles on the ground that a man sought thereby to kill two birds with one stone, and change his opinions as it might suit the doctrines of expediency for him to do so. There is, however, some truth in the noble lord's remark, that in politics there is a " golden mean" which affords Liberalism or Con servatism mutual ground on which to join hands in times of danger and national trouble. Lord PAL MERSTON, who was one of the most successful and popular of British statesmen, was of this political creed, and afforded satisfaction to the country in general, while he commanded the respect of all classes of politicians. The county of Lancashire is just now, as Lord CHELSEA emphatically said, in all the turmoil of an election, and from one end to another confused or distracted by rival claimants. Lord HARTINGTON has made himself very busy in his attacks upon the Government, and began with his accusations against the foreign policy of Lord STANLEY. This was original at any rate, Autumn is admitted on all hands to be the sea son for travelling, and if it were possible to order a Parliamentary return of the wanderers now roam ing over hill and dale, and in or and mountain, gaziag anxiously at the celebrities of continental cities or exploring Scan linavian fiords, we should notwithstanding all we know on the subject e pro bably a good deal astonished. Men of business and men of pleasure, politicians of every degree, literateurs in search of ideas, and artists in quest of subjects, busy men seeking repose, and quiet men seeking variety, all alike seek conso lation from their cares and diversion from their alln..ss in taking their yearly holiday. Her gra- eious MAJESTY has set us the fashion this year of crossing the Channel, but ordinarily she shows her loyal subjects that she at least considers there is something worth seeing in her own dominions. An uninitiated observer might not unnaturally ask why so few of our countrymen and women adopt the same course. There are heights in the Highlands and in Wales which, if not as impressive as the Alps or the Pyrenees, are yet full of moun tain beauty. There are lakes in Ireland and in the North of England whose fame is not unknown even to those familiar with Como and Constance, while for the soft and varied charms of rural scenery our English nooks and byeways can fairly challenge competi tion with those of any other country. We may not have the quaint old wonders of Flanders, nor the gorgeous architecture of Normandy, neither m ay we have as many marvels of art to display to the admiring traveller who walks along, MURRAY in hand, to learn what to•look at, but there is quite enough to interest or occupy any intelligent idler i❑ any of our great cities. II w is it, then, that while every corner of the Continent has been trodden by the English tourist, he is such a stranger in remote districts of the three kingdoms at home ? The answer may partly be found in the caprices of fashion ; but so far as those middle class travellers, the great majority, to whom expense is some con sideration, are concerned the real reason lies in the expense of English, Scotch, and Irish travelling. When the cost of travelling a hundred miles or a thousand is weighed the thousand inHes carry the day with the man of economy, just because the expense of In answer to Mr. Knox, Mrs. Greener said that all she bad done to the prisoner was to take hold of him while he was striking her husband. Hannah Harding, a young woman, gave some what similar evidence, Sergeant Smythe, 31 E R, said that in taking the prisoner into custody last night ho at first said €6l: three o i d t o h i a a t I h v l e t h w a h s i Il i 1 n t y d , w an as d d t r h u a n t k he . had two that he knew nothing about the affair, but after s owrart living is so different on the continent and in Great Britain. The English or Scotch hotel keeper takes it for grAnted t ,at all his guests travel en prince, and that guineas are matters quite beneath their consideration. A letter to a contemporary records the grievances of a French lady and gentleman, who, bent on exploring the Highlan is, found the exploit an extravagant one, since a stay from late one night to the morning of the second day at a Scotch hotel coat them £2 10.3. The foreigner did not complain so much of the charge itself as at its origin the want of room, and he contended that the double diffi culty of being doubtful how to get accommoda tion, and certain to pay too high for it if you The prisoner said ho was very drunk at the time, and that if he had done all that had been said he was very sorry. because, as the noble lord reminded his hearers, there were not two opinions about that. Lord HARTINGTON said that Lux_•mburg had been the only difficulty, and that was a little one after all; but he contrived to forget the Abyssinian war and the Spanish affair, which reflected so much credit on & the noble lord's conduct of foreign affairs. Then when the expenditure question was explained by the Chancellorof the Exchequer, Lord HARTING TON could not parry it himself, so he said that Mr. GLADSTONE would explain all that they will not find it very easy to do so. Reform is a matter which the present Government had settled ; but their opponents say no, that it must be re-opened, and all things arranged accord ing to their views. It is, indeed, difficult to say to what expedient people will not resort to carry out their ends; but this is not one_of a very patriotic nature, because it damages the prosperity of the country to be always raking up objects of strife, and keeping things in an uncertain style. Lord CHELSEA voted some expressions of Sir R. PALMER about the Irish Church, and declared that he valued his opinion highly. The defection of this distinguished supporter is a great loss to Mr. GLADSTONE, the pore so as his opponents take every opportunity of enunciating his views. The noble lord made some amuipg rmaalLs concerning did get it, was quite enough to frighten away the tourist. As it was, he declared he had fre theft he might have t y welve months. The Mr. Lox said that if the p r i soner h a d b een b o r ee o n ugt s it e t n ip t f t o o r so p n ri i s e on tru f m o p r er prisoner without any provocation had . knocked down a woman and rendered her senseless.

From the evidence of a witness, Eliza Banting, women had been drinking, i t t h that place between them, and that the prisoner, with the exclamation of , 6 You t p appeared w t h o a r t d old —, I've got you now," seized the injured woman, and threw her down stairs. the e took two Binsted Webb, an officer of the C division, proved finding the injured woman in a state of semi-consciousness, and he took her to the Middle sex Hospital, where she now remains in a pre carious state—the surgeon stating that she was suffering from concussion of the brain. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner for seven days. quently seen numbers turned away from the hotels every evening, and many were glad to sleep on the coffee-room floor. Of course, under such circumstances, the hotel keepers charge wbat they like, and the evil perp3tuates itself. In Switzer land there are telegraphs at every stage, and for a trifling cost the traveller can insure horses and beds at the next wage. In all these matters we are terribly behind our neighbours, and could take a lesson or two from them with advantage. The difficulty of determining when the native of any country still owes his allegiance to the land of his birth, and when it may legally be transferred to another State, is not felt in England alone. A question of allegiance has arisen between the Governments of France and Switzer land. A native of Savoy has long been settled in Geneva, and was naturalised there before Savoy was annexed to France. The French Government, however, maintains that the son of this Savoyard is amenable to conscription, and as he has refused to submit himself, the French autho rities request the interference of the Swiss Government. The latter have given a forcible response. They explain that as the Savoyard was naturalised in Switzerland be fore Savoy was annexed to France, he could never have been a Frenchman at all, and that neither he nor his son owes any allegiance to France. This argument ought to immediately settle the case in question ; but the naturali sation difficulty is frequently causing trouble between the two Governments in those instances in which the natura lised subject was really a Frenchman until he became a Swiss. A final determination of this brarch of inter national law is a most urgent necessity. A strange letter from Florence appears in the Liberte, announcing that the Italian Minister of the Interior, Signor Cadorna; is retiring from office to join his Pied montese colleagues, La Marmora, Lanza, Sella, and others. This epistle adds that the Tuscans only are now left at the head of Italian affairs. "Mean, narrow-minded, guided by the principles of Macchiavelli, whom they are neverthe less far from comprehending ; lost in the subtleties of scholastic policy, like the Jews of the Talmud—such are the managers of public business. How long is this strange situation of a Ministry without a majority or the support of the country to last?" The latter adds that the discon tented Neapolitans are organised against the Ministry, the Piedmontese have regained their former leaders, and a powerful league is to be organised against Menabrea and the rest of the " mean and narrew minded " Tuscans. Everything is said to be at stake in this game, even Italian unity and the monarchy itself. But the fall of Menabrea is to replace the Piedmontese in power, and this will form an alliance with the members of the Left, with whom they have voted for two years. Here is the means of removing the per plexity which has begun to trouble Europe respecting Italian affairs. Atmospherical pressures have diminished at all stations sine. , yesterday, except on the west coast of France : the change has been greatest in the northern portion of these islands, shewing a decrease at Nairn of more than three-tenths of an inch. Barometrical read ings are still high : the difference between the greatest at Scarborough and the least at Biarritz is nearly three-tenths. Temperature is higher at stations in the N. and N.W. Easterly winds were fresh yester day In Ireland and on the Channel coast, increasing to a high wind at places. This morning the wind is easterly and moderate in southern and western districts, but in Scotland is light from the S.W. Mist is reported from the N.E. coast and the Irish Channel. The weather is generally fine over these islands and in the west of France. Mr, R. A. Allnatt writes to the Times on the subject of the weather. On the 7th the sun thermometer regis- . tered 122 degrees, and the maximum shade heat was 84 at four in the afternoon. On the next day the wind shifted to E.N.E., became rough and squally, and having mingled with the previous equatorial current, produded mist, a dense cbald canopy, and a great depression of temperature. The thermometer only regis tered 61 degrees in the shade, thus showing a variation of 23 degrees in 24 hours. A correspondent at Kettering gives the shade temperature for the two days at 89.20 and 60 respectively, shewing a still greater variation. A letter from Lord De Tableyappears in the ?Manchester Examiner and Times addressed to his tenants. It assures them that, whichever way they may vote in the candida ture of his son for Mid-Cheshire, no change of feeling towards them will he created in his mind. In contrast to this, an account is given of the way in which a Mr. War burton, of Arley, acts. He has seventy or eighty tenants, and they are to go to the poll like a flock of sheep, A correspondent writes : " Mr. Warburton has personally waited upon Mr. Fair, a leading farmer in the district, who is on our central committee, and after censuring him for taking the liberty.of canvassing the Arley tenants, told him (Fair) that he (Warburton) would tell the tenants which way they were to vote: and that Mr. Warren should not have one vote from that estate." There is one merit in the way Mr. Warburton acts. He is plain enough as to what he means, and there can be no after-discussion about intentions, as there was in the Drax business. The appointment, mentioned some months ago, of the Dean of Capetown to the bishopric of Bombay is confirmed. The late bishop, Dr. Harding, was an extreme Low Church man, whose zeal against " innovations " once carried him so far that he tore down a cross of flowers which had been introduced among some Christmas decorations and trampled it under foot. His successor is a very decided High Churchman, so that both Bombay and Cal cutta will now be administered by bishops of that school. The Bishop of Madras, Dr. Gell, is, we believe, a Broad Churchman, like his brother, the incumbent of St. John's, Notting-hill, who assisted Bishop Colenso in preparing for the press his work on the Pentateuch. It is added that the Rev. J. G-. Cowan, incumbent of St. John's, Hammersmith, will succeed Mr. Douglas in the deanery of Capetown. If we remember rightly, this church has already contributed to the . ranks of Colonial Church dignitaries in the person of Bishop Twells. The bishopric of Grafton and Armidale, Australia, has been conferred upon the Rev. J. F. Turner, vicar of North Tidworth, Wilts, and son of the late Lord Justice Turner. Mr. Turner is a Durham University man. The bishopric was founded only last year, and became vacant through the drowning of the first bishop, Dr. Sawyer. The living of Tidworth is worth about £320 a year, with residence, and is in the gift of the Lord Chancellor. The Church papers are still uninformed with respect to the bishopric of Peterborough, which has now been vacant fur some weeks. Probably the absence of the Queen has caused the delay in filling up the post. Her Majesty is well known to take a keen interest in these appointments, and some time ago vetoed one, which was strongly urgalLou. jea SZ2II • ciCZlEkat SUIDIDE AT A RAILWAY STATlON.—Yesterday afternoon a bombardier in the Royal Artillery, named Robert Welsh, threw himself out of the window in the wooden bridge at the Woolwich Arsenal Station on to the line beneath, falling about thirty feet. When picket up he was found to be quite dead. The cause of the suicide t as not transpired. .•• • • • No appointment to the vacant See of Peterborough, it is said, will be made until the Queen's return from Switzerland. The performance of " Elijah " in Gloucester Cathedral, on Wednesday, drew together a large audience. Dr. Wesley seems to give better satisfaction as a conductor that. he has sometimes done. He took the times precisely as Mendelssohn himself would have taken them ; and the chorus and the band were well up to the mark. Titiens, Santley, and Sims Reeve: again took the leading parts, and of course acquitted themselves magnificently. The collection for the charity at the doors only amounted to £155 15s. sd. for both th e morn ing and afternoon-- a serious falling off; and this is thought to be because the ladies no longer hold the plates. The miscellaneous concert in the evening at the Shire Hall again brought together a large audience. The termination of the cab strike will take no one by surprise. There was no unanimity among the cabmen and cabowners, and no fund to support a strike. It was so evidently unjust to pay the privileged men 3s. 6cl. a day while the unprivileged got nothing, that such an arrangement could not stand, and so the attempt to win over the first failed. There is now a talk of forming m organisation and raisinga fund, in order to conduct anothe. strike on a future and more favourable occasion. In the meantime it is to be hoped that the cab-owners will see the injustice and absurdity of visiting upon the public the alleged sins of the railway companies—injustice because the wrong persons are punished, absurdity because the extreme measure resorted to had not the smallest effect upon the party which it was sought to intimidate. It is to be hoped that the cab-drivers will hesitate before they consent to make themselves' again the instruments of the cab-owners in a movement from which the second alone would reap any benefit. Both parties would do well to ask themselves if the com panies have not as much right to impose a tax upon the' cab-owners using their stations as upon the booksellers and the restaurateurs. Any way, it would be a ludicrous way of resenting the impost if "unprivileged" booksellers and bunsellers were to refuse to sell books and buns to the public because refused admission to the railway stations. Mr. Gladstone has sent to a gentleman in the neigh bourhood of Manchester a statement with regard to Liberal and Conservative finance, in reply to Mr. Hunt's recent statement. He says that the Liberals left the income tax in 1858 at 4d. in the pound. When they came back to office in 1859 the expenditure of 1859-60 had been determined by the late (Derby) Government, and he (Mr. Gladstone) had to meet a deficit of about 4 millions. The history of the last endeavour made by the Liberal party to reduce the public expenditure commences with the year 1861. The two previous years had seen the finances of the country dis turbed by the additions made to our armaments through fear of French aggression and by the China war ; and in 1861 a heavy charge was caused by the Trent affair. But in 1861 the Government were able to reduce the military and naval expenditure by about one million and three quarters, and in 1862 by no less than three millions and a half, compared with that of 1860 ; and their hands were strengthened, in effecting re ductions, by the result of the debate raised by Mr. Stans feld on the 3rd June, 1862, which committed Parliament to still greater economy. Mr. Gladstone then proceeds to show how that policy was carried out. In 1862 the ex penditure, exclusive of the National Debt, was £43,070,000 ; this was reduced steadily year by year until in 1865 it was only £39,680,000. Since then it has been steadily increased, and is now £43,730,000, or nearly ' £700,000 more than it was before the Liberal reductions began to take effect. This increase does nut include the cost of the Abyssinian war. Further, while during the Liberal Administration the expenditure fell short of the estimates every year, during the Conservative regime the expenditure has exceeded the estimates. The surplus of revenue over expenditure applied to the reduction of the National Debt by the five Liberal budgets, 1862 6, was £12,850,000. The deficit during the two years of Tory budgets is £1,914,000, or, excluding the Abyssinian war, £161,000. " From these facts," adds Mr. Gladstone, "it follows that the policy of the Liberal party has been to reduce the public charges and to keep the expenditure within the estimates ; and as a result to diminish the taxa tion of the country and the National Debt; that the policy of the Tory Government, since they took office in 1866, has been to increase the public charges and to allow the departments to spend more than their estimates ; and, as a result, to create clefici w ts, and to render the reduc gon ,of .taxation imp2§§lll:, !)1171;441_139.4q.

A FINE SPECIMEN OF THE VAGRANT.—A dirty, loathsome-looking fellow, about 30 years of age, not suffering from any physical ailment, was charged with vagrancy and wilful damage. Mr. Joseph Penn, londlord of the Lord Burleigh, Vauxhall-bridge-road, said that last night the de fondant came into his house and begged. He told him to leave, when he abused him, and on being put out wilfully broke a pane of plate glass value 303. He threatened complainant by swearing he would run a knife into him. Defendant said he was a native of South Wales, in distress, and merely went into the house to see whether he could get anything, when he was for cibly turned out, and the window was broken by the door closing upon hi m accidentally. Mr. Penn said there was another thing which he wished to communicate to the magistrate. De fendant came into the house yesterday morning, when, complaining of starvation, a gentleman ordered him some bread and cheese and beer. After the gentleman was gone defendant wanted com plainant to take the bread and cheese back and give him more beer for it. Mr. Selfe committed defendant for 11 days to hard labour in the House of Correction. MADAME TUSSALTD 7 S.
