This arrangement will not involve a heavy charge to the Post Office, as nearly the whole staff will be re-engaged, and any expenditure on this head will be far more than compensated in the saving effected by the amalga mation of the companies, and by the use of the present post offices as telegraph stations instead of having separate offices and special officers. The saving under the head of offices and clerks will enable the Pos: Jffice to e xtend the system with advantage to places which the telegraph companies could not have reached without loss. Fortunately, the measure has not been allowed to pass through committee without sufficient oppdsition to cause a full discus sion. Mr. LEEIUAN'S antagonism has been much as might be expected from an able and uncompro mising opponent. It has been of enormous service to the promoters of the measure, for it has shewn the strength of what he has attacked as the weak points of the case. Mr. GOSCHEN'S cross-exami nation was more difficult to meet, simply because it was more difficult to comprehend. Some of the questions which he propounded will not con tribute to his reputation as a financier. It has been shewn that the telegraphs are maintained out of revenue, and that the whole system is renewed once at least in fifteen years at the expense of income ; and yet Mr. GOSCHEN contends that, in addition to such a maintenance, the companies should put by a sum equal to 6 or 7 per cent. of their capital annually for renewals. Mr. GOSCHEN'S idea may be illustrated thus. Suppose a landlord had fifteen cottages, and to secure himself from depreciation he rebuilt one of them out of revenue every fifteen years, would he be required, in addition to paying for the rebuild ing out of revenue, to put by 6 or 7 per cent. of his capital annually for the purpose of renewal ? It must be obvious to the comp re h ens i on of a schoolgirl that there is no necessity for providing for the maintenance twice over ; and yet Mr. SCUDAMOEE has had to answer twenty questions put by Mr. GOSCHEN based on this fallacy. Mr. LEEMA.N and. Mr. GOSCHEN are ardent supporters of Mr. GLADSTONE. It is supposed that they are acting for his interest in opposing the measure now, and giving the Liberal party the credit of carrying it next year. That the measure will be passed this session if Mr. GLADSTONE chooses there cannot be a doubt, and he will incur a grave respon sibility if he does not give it his support. No one knows better than he does that for three years this subject has had the fullest consideration. The estimates now presented have been prepared at his instigation, and, so far, he is entitled to the credit of the original idea. Whether he now chooses to allow the bill to pass or not, th e p resen t Government will be entitled to all the credit which can attach to the careful preparation and energetic prosecution of the scheme. if they are defeated it will not be their fault, but it w ill no t the less be a serious misfortune. To say nothing of the waste of labour involved in scattering all the arrangements which have now been brought to a point, the delay of twelve months will involve a loss to the country of little short of a million of money. Telegraphic receipts are increasing at the rate of £50,000 annually, and this time next year this increased rate will have to be paid for, if the telegraphs are not purchased now. The House of Commons can never be in a better position to deal with the question than they are at present, or rather will be when the report of the committee is presented. The evidence put before that com mittee is absolutely exhaustive. As before stated, the arrangement with all the companies interested has placed at their disposal all the facts that can be known. The Government will have to pay, not upon these facts as presented, but upon the facts subject to the investigation and revision of duly qualified arbitrators. The only point which the House has to determine is, whether it will allow the Post Office to enter upon a business which at present pays five per cent. upon the capital required, with every prospect of an increase. By undertaking this business the Government can at once confer large advantages upon the public, and obtain a substantial profit. It will be a subject of much regret if party feeling is allowed to stand in the way of such a desirable result. ROYAL STRAND THEATRE. Sole Lessee and Manageress, Mrs Swanborough.

THE evidence which has been given before the select zommittee on the Telegraphs Bill puts us in poses sion of the case upon which it is proposed that the Government shall purchase existing telegraphs and work them in future for the public advantage. The agreements which, subject to the approval of the Commons, have been entered into during the last few days with the telegraph companies, and with the railway companies who are interested in telegraphic communication, have been put in as evidence, and these agreements so far simplify the question that the whole subject may now be said to lie in a nutshell. The basis of all these agreements is the purchase of existing interests on a payment of twenty times the present net revenue, the amount to be ascertained by competent arbi trators. By entering into these preliminary arrange ments the Post Office authorities have been enabled to ascertain and to lay before the committee all the details which are required for a complete estimate of the cost and consequences of what they propose to do. This information has shown that the total receipts for telegraphic communication are much greater than they were supposed to be. Tho purchase-money will, consequently, be much greater; but since the outlay will be precisely in pro portion to the revenue, no complaint is likely to arise on this score. As the scheme becomes more comprehensive and complete, the prospects of public advantage and pecuniary success are largely increased. Not only are the inland telegraph companies now arranged with, but the submarine cables are also agreed for, and the interests of all the railways are included. Thus, if the bill pass this session the whole scheme may come into complete operation about this time next year, and the public will then enjoy the advantage of a uniform telegraphic system throughout the three kingdoms. Any article not approiad of will be exchanged, or the money will be returned. EXPLANATION. E.

MOSES and SON find it necessary to state that they do not employ any travellers or agents, and that their only Establishments are the above-mentioned. The convenience which will arise from the uni formity of system, the proposed extension of offices, and a reduction of charges, is sufficiently obvious, and the only question is at what cost can these advantages be obtained. If we had to pay for this large and permanent public benefit a sum equal to that which we have paid for killing King THEODORE, the purchase would be a good one, and Mr. SCUDAMORE, the author of the measure, would be entitled to divide the public favour with Sir ROBERT NA.ruit. But we are not called upon to do anything of the kind. At the highest estimate of the cost, and the lowest estimate of the receipts, not one shilling of loss will accrue to the public revenue. Mr. SCIIDA MORE'S extreme figure for the purchase is £6,000,000, and even on the impossible supposition that reduced charges and increased facilities will not cause any addition to the present number of telegrams, the revenue will be sufficient to pros ide for the interest which the Government will have to pay on the purchase money. There can, however, be no ground for supposing that the increased facilities which are to be afforded will fail to bring a substantial addition to the present inunher of messages. Mr. SCUDAMOaE has put in a carefully-prepared estimate, shelv ing the number which he expects to obtain under the proposed system; and as this estimate is based upon twenty-eight years' experience in the English Post Office, and is partly founded upon the results which have already followed the telegraphic operations of foreign Governments, there arc good reasons to suppose that it will be fully realise, __VOIr they© circurastauva, tho LICENSED VICTUALLERS' GUARDIAN GLENIE, of the Sorting N • 4, Connaught-terrace, Hyde-park, London, W., begs to erif ,tn his customers, and the Licensed Victuallers in general, that he has been appointed Agent for the above-named paper in addition to his agency for the Sporting Edition of " Tint SUN," and can ::apply the same on Fricaty evening, if required, in town sr country.

The discussion on thee Navy Estimates is always a stormy one in the House of Commons, and not without reason. Last night was no exception to the general rule, and the attack upon the Admiralty was vigorous, united, and effective. It is not a very gratifying fact for our officials that the inde pendent members who joined in the debate one and all condemned the system, and the men who may justly be supposed to know most about the matter, like Mr. LAIRD and Mr. SAUNDERS, are decided in their censure. Argument, expostulation, illustra tion, and statistics are, however, one and all thrown away upon the Board of Admiralty and its subordinates. It is not the fault of one particular Government, for every successive Ad ministration is open to the same charge. There appears to be some fatal influence attaching to the institution, since every one who becomes enrolled among its members forthwith considers himself bound to fight for its abuses, as well as its merits, to maintain, in the face of all opposing facts, that the Board can do no wrong, that its choice of acting subordinates is invariably judicious, that the national fleet is unparalleled in its excellence and efficiency ; and, in short, that there is no room for complaint save in the too active imaginations of troublesome members. If this concerned only the speakers themselves, if the question at issue was merely affecting the relations of party, the conveni ence of officials or the reputation of individual men, it would be a matter of comparative indifference ; but, in fact, it has a much wider influence and wears a more serious aspect. The integrity of our Empire, the security of our commerce, the honour and interests of the country depend mainly upon the fleet, and if we once lose our position on the seas we shall very soen lose with it our MR. BUCKS 7 ONE'S BENEFI7. The great night of the present season, at the Haymarket Theatre, takes place on Thursday next, viz., the benefit of Mr. Buckstone, the lessee and manager. The entertainments are exceedingly at tractive; not the least will be a new farce, in which Mr. Frederick Buckstone, son of the lessee, will make his first appearance. Colley Cibber's comedy " She would and She 'Would Not," is also to be revived, in which Miss Itobertson, Mr. Chippen dale, Mr. Howe, Mr. Kendal, and Mr. Buckstone will appear. The great feature of the evening, however, will be the delivery by Mr. Buckstone, senior, of his annual spee;l', which invariably is one of the most entertaining thing& imaginable. It is quite unnecessary to say one word in favour of a full attendance, as Mr. Buck stone is looked upon as one of our best and most suc cessful managers, and as an actor he is, indeed, a ge neral favourite. That Mr. Buckstone will receive that which he deserves—a bumper—we have not the smallest doubt. CRYSTAL PALACE.—MR. MAPLESON'S BENEFIT.— It is understood to be the desire of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, and other distinguished visitors who will be present at the concert and opera on Wednesday, that this visit should be regarded as private. Boxes for the occupation of the royal party are being erected in the side' galleries similar to those at the Italiau Operas. REMARICS. The increase of barometrical pressure in the south-west, noticed in the afternoon reports of yesterday, was succeeded during the night by a decrease of similar amount. In Scotland a diminution of more than a tenth of an inch has occurred, whilst readings in France have in creased somewhat. Temperature has decreased a little, except in the S.E., «here there is a :light rise. The winds this morning are light and very variable, except in the Channel and on the N.W. coast of France, where a moderate north-easterly breeze prevails. At the extreme southern stations the wind has veered to S.W. The weather is fine ; but a great deal of fog is reported in the S.W., and some rain has fallen in the S.E. Seldom a day passes without some news of the strife between the clerical and secular parties in Austria. The opposition of the clergy to the work of State reform is evidently recoiling in disaster upon themselves. The obnoxious legislation goes on unchecked, and opposition only incites the people to extremes. A project for dis posing of the ecclesiastical property is now making its appearance at Vienna. The scheme is finding favour with some members of the Government, the Minister of Finance being especially in favour of it. The Emperor, however, says the Sikle, is opposed to such a course. For the present, therefore, there is little danger; but unless a compromise be effected the position of the clergy in Austria will soon be on the same footing as it is now in Italy. The separation of Church and State is not a necessary consequence of reform, but the attitude of tl.e Catholic clergy leaves no hope of any other issue. Pilgrims to the Matterhorn will be glad to learn that a memorial is about to be erected at Zermatt - to the unfor tunate mountaineers who lost their lives on the mountain three years ago. The memorial will serve the double pur pose of commemorating the dead, and affording the living a place where they may worship the Lord of life and death. A church is to be built, and the foundation-stone was laid on St. Peter's Day, in the presence of all the English and American tourists present, and thirty or forty guides. The cost will be 1'1,200. Hitherto visitors speaking the English language have had to worship in the salle-a mangers of the two hotels, where (crede experto) they had practical experience of Pharaoh's plague of flies. It is :iignificant of the growing friendship—brotherhood, we might almost say—between the two branches of the Anglo- Saxon race, that in many of the services on the Continent for those who speak the English tongue, prayers are offered both for Queen Victoria and the President of the United States, and we have occasionally heard " Congress " coupled with the " High Court of Parliament." The relations between the railways and the telegraph companies have necessarily received a good deal of con sideration in reference to the Telegraphs Bill, and some apprehension has been expressed that at the termination !)f existing agreements the Government will have to pay heavy rents to the railway companies for the way-leaves which they now use. In the agree ments which have just been made between the railways and the Post Office, it is proposed that arrangements shall be at once made to place the telegraph question on a permanent basis, and no difficulty is expected to arise on this heal. If in any case a railway company requires exorbitant terms, the Government can remove existing lines, and re erect them, if necessary, on the turnpilze roads. It will, however, be clearly the Interest of the railway companies to keep the wires on their lines, and they will therefore be dis posed to arrange with t'..e Post Office on mode rate terms. If telegraphic communication remained in the hands of the present companies, considerable diffi culties would no doubt be experienced, as the companies which now have telegraphs on the railways are without telegraphs on the roads. By purchasing all companies the Government will have double lines of communication, and taay in futu avail itself of the railways or the roads as saik , liLt; au:Arrlf'telK ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

He admitted that anomalies existed in the Irish Church, and while he was prepared to remedy them, he denounced the attempt to disestablish the Irish Church and confiscate her revenues. SOUTH-WEST LANCASHIRE. — The Conservatives have unanimously decided to propose Mr. Algernon Egerton and General Peel (who now represents the little boreneh of Huntingdon) as their candidates for this division. BUCKINGHAMSHIRE. —The Bucks Herald has authority for stating that Mr. C. G. Du Pre, who has represented the county since 1839, will, in conjunction with Mr. Disraeli and Mr. R. B.

The advance of wages demanded by the Stockport bricklayers at two days' notice, and resisted in April last, has been conceded. Moons ON FIRE. —A large track of the vegeta tion covering Rombolds and other moors, on the range of hills lying between the Aire and the Wharfe, in the West Riding, was on Sunday destroyed by fire, the result either of accident or design. The fire raged from morning till night, and the dense volume of smoke which arose was conspicuous from long distances. DRINKING TROUGHS. —Earl Grosvenor makes a plea for help on behalf of the thirsty animals which throng the streets of London. The Metropolitan Drinking Fountain and Cattle Trough Association is the only society which endeavours to alleviate their sufferings by the erection of cattle troughs, and the committee are urgently in need of funds to enable them to increase the number of these most necessary structures. Earl Gros venor has undertaken to receive contributions ; or they ma y be forwarded to the office, 1, Shorter's court, Throgmorton-street, E.C., or to the bankers, Messrs. Ransom, Bouverie, and Co., vd Messrs. Barclay, Bevan, and Co. SUDDEN DEATH FROM HEAT. A shocking occurrence took place at Merthyr Tydfil on Saturday. A young man and woman left one of the mountain districts called Rhymney, near Merthyr, for the latter place in the afternoon of Saturday, but the day was so excessively hot that on reaching the town the young woman had barely time to seek the shelter of a public-house when she fell clown and died instantly. The medical officer who promptly attended to her Lad his suspicions aroused at the first glance, and soon ascertained that the poor thing would • shortly have been a mother. She was not married, but, according to her companion's statement, was on the eve of becoming so when the sad event took place. THE STORM AT BRTGHTON.—During the storm which raged at Brighton with considerable severity on Sunday night the lightning struck the residence of Mr. Savage, chemist, near the Queen's Park. The chimney stack on the gable was almost destroyed ; thence the lightning glanced off and pierced the roof near the eaves, where it entered Mr. Savage's bedroom, and expended its force upon the fire-grate, which, with the surrounding brickwork, it smashed into pieces. About half-past seven on Sunday morning the tower of St. Peter's Church was struck by lightning. One of the pinnacles was completely shattered, and a considerable portion of the lead roof torn up and displaced, some of the rubbish being forced down into the belfry and clock tower. The building was used for divine service as usual on Sunday, but only one of the three entrances was opened. A great deal of rain fell in the town and neighbourhood. DESTRUCTION OF EIGHTEEN COTTAGES BY FIRE.—. On Sunday morning a fire broke out in a row of thatched cottages in Bury-street, Stowmarket, Suffolk, by which no fewer than eighteen cottages were destroyed, and eighty men, women, and children rendered homeles! and houseless. The fire was caused by sparks falling from the chimney of the house occupied by a man named Esling, on the east side of the street. A lively east wind carried the flames in an oblique direction across the street, and thirteen cottages opposite also became ignited. The fire occurred at the time of divine service, and an alarm was given at all the places of worship. Service was at once stopped, and thousands hurried to the spot. Mean. time messengers were despatched to neighbouring village! for engines, and everything was done that could be done to stay the flames; but the wind was high, the cottages were old and dry, and water for some time was compara• tivcly scarce. It was three in the afternoon before tha fir, was 4(41_4_0. unier, • 0, mrt .0111110. HER MAJESTY. OSBORNE, July 13.
