THE LATE EDITION of "THE SUN " at J. SMITH'S, 39, Bow-street, Covent-garden. grim' LATE EDITION of "TILE SUN" at t, W. SMITH Camden Stores," 78, Park-street, Camden- Mr. CHILDERS thinks we have come to a very critical time in the hi.story of the country, and that it is very necessary . to keep our heads cool. This may be true, but something more is required from legislators and statesmen than that they should keep their heads cool, for it is equally, if not more, important that they should be " clear," and their views made comprehensible. Putting party con siderations aside, it will never answer to lay down particular rules for general emergencies ; and if we are to take the explanations given in this speech as illustrative of Mr. GLADSTONE'S policy, it must be said, without any disrespect, that the country has been well quit of his services for the last two years. It appears that whatever necessary augmentation be made in the Estimates, he would have made a corresponding decrease necessary or not, we may presume, as the case may be. In short, the right hon. gentleman's far-famed and world-wida financial policy is so very much like the bed of PROCRUSTES, and things must be made to fit it, for it cannot condescend to be elastic as the occasion requires. Suppose he had staid in office, and made the necessary im provements in the army any navy, it is curious to imagine what measures he might have considered it his duty to effect to meet the corresponding addi tions. It may be very ingenious to prop up a re putation by such means, but the representatives of the interests that may suffer thereby will hardly designate it as statesmanlike, and as carrying out a comprehensive and national policy. If we are forced into mixing with a European war, and have to defend some distant part of our possessions, and nothing is ready, it will be but a poor consolation that the balance sheets of the Exchequer have been most neatly arranged, and that no outlay has appeared that has not been met by a corresponding reduction. Mr. CHILDERS re members to forget that the late Government re signed office leaving affairs in a very peculiar, not to say precarious, state, and that their successors must either have supplied the deficiencies or left the defences of the country i in a most melancholy condi tion. It is true that they might have declined to undertake the task at all, and professed their ina bility, and perhaps this was their end after all ; and it is useless to go farther to find out in what way they offended so as to draw down upon them such overwhelming censure, and to subject their deeds to such condemnatory criticism. In connection with the subject of political shortcomings, it is interesting to glance at the " INL:w Political Catechism " that has been placarded at Whitby, and which offers a very good comparison of the doings and achievements of the last ten years or thereabouts. The Liberals, it is shown, got us into a war with China, built ships and did not man them, built forts and put no guns or men in them, passed a grinding and iniquitous Poor-law, led Denmark into war and then forsook her, caused the Abyssinian war, had a majority in the house of Commons and did not pass a Reform Bill. Whereas the other side of the shield shows that the Conservatives passed a comprehensive Reform Bill, saved Europe from a war on the Lux emburg question, demanded and obtained from Spain an apology for insult to England, grappled with the Alabama claim , , and prevented a war with America, and vindicated Engli.3ll honour and rescued English men from slavery in Abyssinia. W ho factiously op pos.d the Reform Bill whicli has given every ratepayer a vote ?" it is asked, in conclusion, and the answer is —" The GLADs - roxEs, father and son." Granting that this criticism is couleur de rose in one part, and has the brown shade cast ov(r th 3 other—that the compiler has been very kind to the virtues of the Conservatives, and a little blind to their faults, and vice versa as regards the Liberals,' still a good deal of truth remains which electors may mark and learn with profit. One striking proof of merit The members of the committee appointed by Congress to report on the expediency of renewing the Reciprocity Treaty with Canada returne I yes terday from a visit to Nova Scotia. ➢lr. BUTLER is one of these members, and this fact, coupled with the selection of Nova Scotia for their visit, does not indicate a very favourable inclination towards the renewal of the Treaty. So pervzrse and opinionated are the Radicals who dominate in Con gress that neither the remonstrances of the com mercial interest, nor the examination of facts and figures, will be likely to affect their decision. It is quite possible that the mere fact of the PRESIDENT and the Cabinet inclining in favour of the renewal may predispose them to decide against it. At the time when the notice of termination was given to Canada there was much angry feeling in the States against England, and Canada naturally was considered as, representing English in terests. It was a favourite project with the soldiers of fortune whom the war had left with out an occupation or source of profit to arrange au expedition against Canada. Happily the common sense of the country never allowed this scheme to get further than talk, and the sentiments of the people have altogether changed. No one now dreams of a war with England. Why, then, should the States on either side of the St. Lawrence be deprived of the advantages of a free commercial interchange? From Ottawa we learn that the trial of WHELAN for the murder of Mr. DARCY M'GEE commenced on the 7th, and strong circumstantial evidence of his guilt had been brought forward. The Fenians were making great efforts to save him, several head centres having arrived in Ottawa from the States with funds to assist his defence, and some members of the fraternity, we may presume, re sorted to stronger measures, since the witnesses against him received threatening letters. The At lantic Cable has since the departure of this news announced to us WuELAN's conviction and con demnation, so that fortunately those unworthy attempts to frustrate the course of justice have proved ineffectual. The festivities attending the majority of the Marquis of BUTE have been of such unusual splen dour that they have attracted a goad deal of atten tion. The young heir succeeds to such enormous wealth, and will exercise from his position so ex tended an influence, that his future course is one of deep interest to thousands of persons. In Scot land he owns vast hereditary estates which connect him closely with the agricultural interest. In Rothcsay, too, he claims an intimate alliance with the manufacturers of the town, while in:Wales his father well-nigh created the now impor tant seaport of Cardiff. The vast mineral wealth of the Valley of the Taff needed an outlet, which the energy and enterprise of the late Marquis gave it by the cmstruction of the docks which bear his ham:- This great work was not uuderiaken without a corresponding outlay, and Lord Bum embarked his whole fortune in the enterprise. Its success has been ample, and Cardiff, which owes its prosperity to his efforts, has put on its gayest attire to do honour to the birthday of his son. The late Marquis's useful public career was prematurely closed, but during the long minority of his son his trustees have continued the works with spirit and prudence, so that they are able to con gratulate the young heir on his accession to a Cash 902 Orleans .................

If the Times' reputation as the barometer of politics holds good with respect to Europe, we are on the eve of a war. In a very bellicose article, the Times concludes that "for some weeks past the two dark thunder-clouds of the political atmosphere have been drawing steadily together, until it seems as if the most sanguine could now hardly hope that an explosion will be averted. France on one side and Prussia on the other are either anticipating war or despairing of peace." It rests with France to be the aggressor, but at the same time she may plead some temptations to aggression. It is not to be denied that the aggrandisement of Prussia by the late war does affect the position of France in the political system of Europe. This new situation is none the more acceptable because Italy has become similarly consolidated, and may possibly be Prussia's ally. "Asuccess ful campaign against Prussia might detach Southern from Northern Germany, and leave one-half of the German nation to be still played off and balanced against the other." This is not a very explicit cause for immediate hostilities, but other journals undertake to supply more tangible grounds. The Spectator, whilst generally deciding against the prospect of war, thinks that the entry of Baden into the North German Confederation would probably determine the French Emperor to a campaign. The Independance Beige endeavours to supplement this speculation by publishing a report that the annexation of the Grand Duchy has been a matter of fact for some weeks past, and that the treaty will soon be published. It is even added that the French Government has been aware of the fact, but that it resolved to consider it for the present a pme'y German question, not being yet pre pared to engage in war. This report is by no means new. Some days ago we republished a similar statement from a German authority. It was then stated that Ba‘len was fully prepared for admission to the North German Con federation, but that Count Bismarck opposed the imme diate execution of the project through fear of a collision with France. It is quite possible that the annexation is an accomplished fact ; but it is hardly likely that France is about to be defied by the publication of the treaty. The annexation of Baden would be a direct violation of the treaty of Prague ; and if the Emperor Napoleon did not go to war on that ground, it is certain that he would never find a more plausible pretext. It is just possible that this Baden question may lead to a rupture but at present our information as to the true relations between Prussia and the Grand Duchy is too vague to admit of a definite conclusion. It does not appear Vial t;;ere is anything in_ Oese reports to put an end to the C:;l4tit4 1111WhintY..

We are not going to discuss here the female franchise riestion upon its merits or demerits, but we must observe that the position that the late Reform Act entitles women to the franchise is utterly untenable. The argument is founded on the employment of the word " man " in the Reform Act 1867, where the phrase " male person " was employed in the Reform Act of 1832. It was suggested, when the bill was pending, that, since section 4 of the 13th of Victoria, cap. 21, provides that "in all Acts words importing the masculine gender shall be deemed to include females, unless the contrary is expressly pro vided," the word " man " would enfranchise women ; but it was said in reply that, considering the existing law excluding women, it must be taken as expressly provided that " man " in this Act should not include women. Afterwards Mr. Mill raised the issue on its merits by moving to substitute " person " for " man," the motion being negatived by a large majority. As a fact, therefore, the intention of the Legislature was cer tainly not to enfranchise women under this word " man;" but it is equally true that, in determining the " intention" of an Act of Parliament for any judicial purpose, the proceedings of the Legislature during the progress of the bill cannot be taken notice of. Vide " The Alexandra ease," at page 316 of the report), and many other autho rities which NN ill be familiar to the legal reader. Indeed, if this were otherwise the inconvenience would be of the most ridiculous sort ; the intention or frame of mind of the hon. member who moved an amendment, and of every hon. member who voted on it would become material ; while if the bill were actually drafted by an M.P. it might be material to know what he was thinking of when he devised the clause. It is hardly necessary to cite authorities to shew how statutes are to be construed. The " intention " must be regarded, and how the intention is to be arrived at is well expressed in the resolutions in " Heydon's Case " (Plowden, 205). " For the sure and true interpretation of all statutes in general, be they penal or beneficial, restrictive or enlarging of the common law, four things are to be discerned and considered :-1. What was the common law before the making of the Act. 2. What was the mischief against which the common law did not provide. 3. What remedy the Parliament hath resolved and appointed to cure the disease of the common wealth. 4. The true reason of the remedy." Now, the " intention " of the late Reform Act, examined by these tests, were certainly not to enfranchise women, but to ex tend the franchise as existing for the other sex. If the 4th section of the 13th of Victoria, cap. 21, taken with the word used in the Reform Act, 1867, raises a doubt whether women are included in the Act, they would thus be ex cluded by the " intention." But even supposing it to be held that under the 13th of Victoria, cap. 21, sec. 4, the word " man " in the Reform Act must include women, there would still be this :—The Act confers the franchise only on " men " " not subject to any legal inca pacity;" and it is an undoubted fact (whether the rationale of it be morally right or wrong is another matter) that women have ever been under a legal incapacity to vote in the election of members to serve in Parliament. When for several hundred years it has been continuously assumed, and the assumption acted on, that women are not of ability to vote, it is not incorrect to say that they are under a legal incapacity, and assertions to the contrary merely beg the question. It seems probable that the subject may be brought before some of the revising bar risters ; it is, however, so free from doubt that we can hardly imagine that any one of them will state a case upon the point.—Solicitors' Journal. The Marquis of Bute denies that he has joined the It: - man Church. The Lancet is in a position to state that since her sojourn in Switzerland the Queen has greatly improved in health.

GLADSTONE AND VOTE BY BALLOT.—We have reason to believe that the statement which has obtained currency respecting Mr. Gladstone's conversion to the cause of the ballot has originated in a misconception of some sentences in which the right hon, gentleman expressed no more than his sense of the force with which the case for the ballot had been put in a recent publication. —Daily News.

The following letter, addressed to the editor of the Scotsman, appeared in that journal of yester day :- 25, Norfolk-street, Strand, 117.0, September it;, 1868. Sin,—As yet the grave of Leigh Hunt in Keusal Green Cemetery is obscure and undistinguished . During life his wide sympathies and versatile acquirements drew around him from all quarters of the globe friendly visitors whose opinions were as far apart as the homes from which they came. It is a humiliating reflection that travellers from Ant e " rica or Italy who in other years made Leigh Hunt's study the shrine of their loving pilgrimages rosy have wished to visit his last resting-place, an d found no mark to guide them to it—no record, if they have discovered it, of his many claims on grateful recollection. In dedicating " The Cenci " to Leigh Hunt WV years ago, Shelley paid him this noble tribute: — " One more gentle, honourable, innocent, and braire one of more exalted toleration for all who do and think evil, and yet himself more free from evil; one who knows better how to receive and how to confer a benefit, though he must ever confer far more than he can receive ; one of simpler, and, in the highes t sense of the word, of purer, life and manners, I neve r knew." This friendship between Leigh Hunt and Shelley, honourable and delightful though it was to both, became in some measure the cause of mis representations which attended Leigh Hnet 4 , early career. A writer in All the Year Ro na (vol. vii., p. 118) justly says :—" Leigh Hun t defended the character of Shelley with so nille l ! warmth from the aspersions which had been O s " upon it that he was in time identified with t llB whole of Shelley's opinions, and suffered accordingly' This was a signal error. As a journalist, he w ilg . never republican, but constitutional and monarc h ': cal ; and in religion, Leigh Hunt at no time adopte d the extreme unbelief of Shelley's youthful speelll3" tions. . . . His natural piety was always O r ; spicuous ; and the greater spirituality of Shell e y 's more mature works was not improbably owing 0 his communings with a mind at once liberal and cle d vout. . . . This truly religious tendency of mine increased and ripened with years and sorrow; and tb , beautiful volume called the ' Religion of the Hea rt , proved to a wider circle of readers how serio nsv o he had been misapprehended by those /l b , called him a scoffer and materialist." A wr iter 113 t the Cornhill Magazine -:(Vol. p. 92) points how much the press of England in the present (13) : is indebted for its " cultivated style, elevated to ne ' and independent sentiment" to Leigh Hunt, w il exhibited a consistency, honesty, and fearless uess that even his opponents could not but res Pe e, Neither personal nor political animosities, 11 °P - ever, troubled the declining years of what C arlyle truly terms his " most pure and even exemPl sr Y a life ; and as men of all creeds and classes delightf_, then to honour the veteran poet, the genial crit.'ea the accomplished scholar, each of whose W i works acquired vitality from his warmth of heart and uprightness of mind, so all can now c onsisten tly unite in promoting the memorial which it is P ro posed to erect over his grave.
