The Sun. — London, England, 1868-10-19 00:00:00

LATE EDITION of " THE SUN" at c 'W. SMITH'S Camden Stores," 78, Park-street, Camden town, LOiVDON, MONDAY, OCT. 19,;31868. Mr. GLADSTONE iS of opinion that there cannot be too much of a good thing, and therefore he con tinues day by day to instil the precepts of his wis dom and to shed the light of his oratory upon the favoured electors of South-West Lancashire. On Saturday the right hon. gentleman addressed a meeting at Newton, and put his views at some length before them on the leading topics of the day. He fell back upon his old resource of the public expenditure, and declared that it was a great advantage to have a question of this sort con sidered at a general election ; but why, he did not very clearly make out, and it may appear to many that the contrary is the case, because it is not when men's minds are the most excited that they can the best attend to matters of detail and come to a just conclusion on subjects that imperatively demand calm reflection. The chief part of his discourse was occupied in criticising the Report of the Commissioners on the Irish Church, and no one who reads his remarks would judge from their tenour that they proceed from one whose leader had proposed the Commission. Earl RUSSELL was the acknowledged head of the Liberals when the proposition was made to the House of Lords, and at that time the rank and power of the party were greatly in favour of it, but now a change has come over the spirit of their dream, and Mr. GLAD STONE sets the example of pulling to pieces the Report, and explaining how worse than useless all its suggestions are. For the matter of that it is not likely that the judgment of the Commissioners is infallible, or that some improvements might not be made upon their plans, but as they stand they are a great advance of anything which Mr. GLAD STONE or his friends contemplated a few years ago, and those who are but too much led away by the oratory of the right hon. gentleman to see clearly must :recognise this for themselves. At the con clusion of his speech, which was one of a more argu mentative character than those he has lately made, the right hon. gentleman dwelt with some irritation on the reproaches that had been made on him and his supporters for the time they have taken, and de clared with great emphasis that the Irish Church had been successful in nothing but in putting up " agitation, bitterness, and controversy ;" but he forgot how largely he by his own exertions had contributed to the display of these sentiments. Mr. GRENFELL also addressed the meeting, and subsequently a vote of confidence in both gentlemen was passed, and resolutions adopted to secure their return for that division of the county.

On Saturday the Conservative candidates also addressed a portion of the electors of South West Lancashire, and a numerous meeting attended at Southport to hear from Mr. CHARLES TURNER and Mr. Cnoss an exposition of their policy. The Chair man, in referring to the great change which had come over Mr. GLADSTONE since he was elected for Lancashire, observed that he was now ahead of Mr. BRIGHT himself, for that hon. member had rebuked Mr. ERADLAUGII, while the leader of the Opposi tion but encouraged Mr. FINLAN in his determined efforts to gain popularity. Mr. TURNER said that he asked the electors for the third time for the renewal of their suffrages, and in the course of an interesting speech showed come of the fallacies of the opposite party. As for the truth of what was said of their passing the Reform Bill, Mr. TurtNEit reminded his hearers of the meetings in Carlton House-terrace, and one in particular, when Mr. GLADSTONE besought his supporters to throw out the bill on the second reading, which was, indeed, a curious way of supporting it. After that Mr. COLERIDGE, with the sanction of his lea•ler, put a notice on the paper of a character hostile to the spirit of the bill, and it was only by the refusal of the Radical party to support it that the measure was brought into committee. There was some truth in the retort of the hon. member to the effect that Mr. GLADSTONE was on the horns of a dilemma with respect to the Expenditure question, because if he disapproved of the Government scheme he should have said so in the proper place, in the House of Commons, and not waited till the elections came on. In discussing the Irish Church disendowment, Mr. TURNER referred to a re mark of Sir ROUNDELL PALMER'S, Mr. GLAD STONE'S Attorney-General, when he said that it was a question of " confiscation," and nothing more nor less, arguing ; also that there was no definit secular purpose for which these funds were wantel that he had ever heard of. Mr. CROSS spoke at great length, and criticised some of Mr. GLAD STONE'S charges against the Conservative party and the present Government in particular. The ad dress of the Opposition leader was calculated to mislead people to begin with, and did not set the question of the policy pursued towards Ire land fairly before the " public. The Church question was put to the front, and the land question left in the back, and then the right hon. gentleman turned round and blamed his opponents for neglecting a point so essential to the interests of the community, while all the time it was he who put it in the background by his hasty and inconsiderate policy. Mr. GLADSTONE has made a great deal of the Habeas Corpus Act being suspended, but, as Mr. CROSS very truly said, it was not suspended as against the Irish people ; and if the disturbances which took place in Clerkenwell and at Manchester had been re ported, no one would have objected to the Habeas Corpus being suspended in England. Mr. LAIRD'S opinion of Fenianism is more correct than Mr. GLADSTONE'S, and it comes with the more weight, as the right hon. gentleman is himself in favour of the disendow rnent of the Church. He declares that the Church is not connected with the Fenians, and that the notion that it is, is a ridiculous one to entertain. As for the second question of expenditure, the speaker turned the tables on Mr. GLADSTONE and his friends by saying that they bad been so long in office that the chief blame in the matter rested with them as regarded general details, while in regard to particulars nothing was left to the Conservatives but to make up for their deficiencies. They left the defences of the country in a very unfinished state, and an army badly provided for. The contest in South-West Lancashire bids fair to be a sharp one, and the various combatants have set to work in right earnest. Much interest will attach itself to this election on account of Mr. GLADSTONE'S presence among the candidates. All that can be expected is that the several claimants to popular favour will make the best of their own cause, and submit with a good grace to the verdict of the constituency, but it will not do for either side to prejudice the voters against their opponent, and each should stand or fall by his own merits or shortcomings. The difficulty of dealing with the v:.grant poor is one which presents itself to the parochial authori ties of the several unions of London, and it i 3 one with which it is confessedly vary perplexing to deal. Guardians and workhouse officers naturally look with no great favour on this class, who add to their THEATRE-ROYAL, ADELPHL Tars EVENING, at 7, TOM THRASHER. At a quarter to 8, MOVIE CRISTO : Messrs.

At the same time though many of these tramps belong to what we may call the class of professional beggars, and those whose business it is to live at other people's expense, it is right and necessary that , some provision should be made for them. In the cold nights of our winter months no one can venture with impunity to dispense with food and shelter, and while there are too many among the casuals whose own vices, or thriftiness, or idleness has reduced them to destitution, there are always more or less of those who really deserve our compas sion. The broken-down servant or charwoman, the needlewoman who cannot get work enough to en able her to live, the numbers who from some cause or another break down in the great battle of life, may any of them find themselves temporarily home less and friendless. The night refuges established by charitable aid, where these cases are sifted, and help is, if possible, given to them, reveal many touching stories. It is not, however, on any other ground than that of common humanity and pro priety that the State is called upon to deal with these vagrants. It is a scandal to our country that any person should be allowed to die of want or cold in the public streets. Under whatever hard or unwholesome condition there should be a Christian country, some place where every wayfarer can have food, however coarse, and shelter, however homely, from the cold of the winter nights. This obliga tion our modern legislators fully recognise, and the authorities of all the chief parishes have been directed to provide sufficient accommodation for casuals. Some parishes under the old system readily received such applicants, while others made no pro vision at all, and shifted their responsibilities else where. By this means some parishes were put to heavy expense, which the authorities of other unions escaped from their lack of humanity. The new rule is that every parish is bound to provide due ac commodation for vagrants, and that every parish neglecting to do so forfeits its claim to have the cost of providing for casuals paid out of the general metropolitan fund. It seems, however, that some of the West-end parishes are by no means particu lar about fulfilling their share of the obligations, and the Marylebone guardians who have provided excellent wards for their casuals complain very justly that they are burdened with ,those belonging to other people. At the recent meeting of the Marylebone guardians the master reported an in crease of wayfarers, when Mr. TAVENER, one of the guardians said it had come to his knowledge that wayfarers had come to Marylebone after being refused at St. George's, Hanover-square, and at Westminster. A complaint on the subject had been made to the Poor Law Board ; only the usual vague official answer had been received from the Board, and it is a matter of regret that the central authority is usually so dila tory in seeing its own regulations enforced. Our Poor Law is faulty in many respects, but if it were thoroughly acted up to the deficiencies would not be so great as they are no v. At the approach of winter it is highly important that each parish and union should understand its duties and prepare to discharge them fully and faithfully, knowing that it will be kept up to the mark by watchful su pervision. The Guardians of Maryleboue are to be congratu lated on the successful working of a scheme which they have originated for the benefit of the boys in the parish schools, and collaterally for the bene fit also of the ratepayers. They have like wise established a military band and provided a good bandmaster, and they find that it is easy to get the boys so trained into military bands. They are thus removed into quite a new sphere away from all workhouse recollections and thrive well. If they are apprenticed in the ordi nary routine in their own parish they generally come back in after life to the workhouse as paupers. Twenty-three boys from the schools at Southall have lately been taken into military bands, and have suited so well that there have been more ap plications than can at present be satisfied. We hope the success of this experiment will encourage other guardians in a similar course. We are glad to find that a straightforward and conscientious politician is about to receive a sub stantial token of public esteem and respect. Gen. PEEL, who bears a name long to be remembered in the political history of his country, has never filled , the conspicuous position of his lamented brother, and though not possessing the abilities, the reputa tion, or the influence of Sir ROBERT PEEL, he has discharged his public duties as a member of Parlia ment during many a long session. and as a member of more than one Cabinet, with fidelity and fear lessness. He has never stooped to expediency or intrigue. He has often given offence to both sides by his resolute adherence to his own opinions, and he has never sought personal aggrandizement or self-interest. Belonging to the Tory party, he has in many re spects modified his early views, but has never identified himself with the party of progress. Those who differed from him, however, found it impos sible to refrain from acknowledging his sincerity and his straightforwardness. An instance of this occurred only the other day. General PEEL had been making an elaborate defence of the financial policy of his party when in office, and in so doing attributed by mistake a million too much to the preceding Administration. He discovered this error before any one else did, and instead of trusting to its being overlooked, and trying to explain it away, he at once wrote to the journals which had inserted his former statement, pointing oat the mis takes and modifying his charge. In this spirit General PEEL has always acted. Like a brave soldier he can respect his enemy, and he acts in a spirit which compels his enemy to respect him. However mistaken or prejudiced we may deem some of his views, we must wish that more men of his character were to be found among our political ranks, and we are glad that on his retirement from public life an influential committee should have re solved to present him with some lasting memorial of his country's recognition of his honest a pd manly LITERATURE. - --~--- Pius VII. and Napoleon I. The Edinburgh Review. No. 262. Longmans. In the midst of eight other exceedingly miscel laneous articles—varying in their theme, from " Sy bel's History of the French Revolution" to a record of "The Expiring Parliament," from a review of " Senior on Ireland" to a review of George Eliot's "Spanish Gypsy," from a delineation of " 'Endo° Fairy Legends " to a sketch of " The Agricultural Labourers of England," from a scrutiny of " King lake's Invasion of the Crimea" to an analysis of " Darwin on Variation of Animals and Plants " the Edinburgh in this current number contains ono paper worthy in every way of its high and splendid reputation. It is a paper that we have read from first to last with delight and admiration. In the masculine eloquence of its composition, it is worthy of the Edinburgh in the days of Macaulay. But it evidences on the part of the writer a faculty that Macaulay with all his genius never possessed. That faculty—the most essential of all to a historical critic enabling him to weigh conflicting evidence quite fairly and dispassionately, while holding (to this end) the balance of his judgment in a perfect equipoise. As was said very wittily and very wisely of Lord Macaulay by a far inferior writer, namely, by Sir Archibald Alison—he (Macaulay) was called to the Bar rather than to the Bench of History. He was a splendid advocate. But he was a partizan. He assailed with malice prepense. He eulogised usque ad nauseam. Under his pencil, William 111. was an angel of light—James 11. ademon of darkness. So engrained and ineradicable was all this, that it has been said of his last work, that what would other wise have been a noble History, degenerated into nothing better than an immense Whig pamphlet. Contrasting very finely with the partizanship of Macaulay, are the fairness, the candour, and the noble outspeaking of the writer who here contributes to what was once Macaulay's organ, this really masterly historical criticism we are now referring to as adorning the number of the Edinburgh for October. It is a paper relating to " The Papacy and the French Empire"—a theme suggested, of course, by DI. le Comte d'Haussonville's recently published " L'Eglise Romaine et la Premier Empire, 1800- 1814." Upon several points, our opinions are at variance with those set forth by the E linburgh Reviewer. Bat, upon the whole, we conceive not only that his views are just in themselves, but that they are expressed in almost every instance with a force, and a precision, and an eloquence that com mand our admiration. His delineations inciden tally of the character of the Emperor Napoleon I. and Pope Pius VII. are superb. Speaking of the latter, he says :—" If he was not a great Pope, he certainly possessed a combination of spiritual and moral qualities rarer than genius and certainly more beneficent than ambition :" adding that, " of all the sovereigns of the time, he is perhaps [we should rather have said, certainly] the only one who can bo placed face to face with Napo leon, and yet not suffer by the contrast." Pius VII., he describes as " an incarnation of benevo leuce, humility, and Christian virtue of evangelic sweetness," while Napoleon 1., Napoleon the Great, he speaks of as " a man of insatiable ambition and of Caesarian force of will," with " a pri le and arro gance inflated to immeasureable limits by an astound ing career of victories." What is it Victor Hugo has written of him somewhere—is it not in " Les Miserables ?" When be speaks of Napoleon as one—before whose presence "the frontier lines of the kingdoms of Europe oscillated upon the map"—at whose apparition there was " the sound as of a superhuman sword being drawn from its scabbard." Referring to the fascination exercised over the mind and heart of Pope Pius VII. by the genius of Napoleon, the writer in the Edinburgh not only quotes Cardinal Consalvi's record of the fact in his Memoirs thus : lie (that is the Pope) had for him (the Emperor Napoleon) a mingled sense of admiration, fear, paternal tenderness, and gratitude for the powerful and ready hand with which he re-established the Church in France"— but the Edinburgh Reviewer takes occasi3a him self to remark thereupon : "He probably felt in his heart a religious conviction that such an astounding prodigy of genius and ambition was not sent into the warld without a Divine purpose." And the writer goes to say, " From this fascination he (i.e. Pius VIE.) never freed himself, even in the d ays when he suffered unmerited and even cruel persecution at the hands of his Imperial captor. Ia the solitary oratory of his prison at Savona the victim prayed earnestly au I fervently for his op - pressor ; and to his latest days his old affection for the author of his afflictions survived the recollection of insult and injury." Nor, for that matter, can we ourselves wonder for one moment that it should have been so. For Pius VII. could never lose the re membranes among other things of this most indis putable fact that it was the young First Consul Napoleon Bonaparte, who, immediately upon his acquisition of supreme power in France, celebrated his inauguration as the dominant Head of the still Republican Government by proclaiming the neces sity of re- establishing religion. Standing sword in hand, as it were, in the midst of the ruins of the overthrown altars, and desecrated churclies of France and Northern Italy, Napoleon, immediately after crossing the Alps, eight days before the battle of Marengo, uttered, on the 31 of of our L 1800, these were spoken me morable June, in the e d e n a o r b le words—they at Milan by the young First Consul in the midst of an assembly of the clergy of the capital of Lombardy—" At the present time [he had not been before] I aria provided with full powers [he spoke then not simply as the General or Commander-in-Chief, but yet more as First Con sul], and I am decided to exercise every means I believe to be the most proper for the protec tion of this religion. France has learnt a lesson from her misfortunes and has opened her eyes : she has recognised that the Catholic religion is the only anchor of salvation amid the storms of the tempest. As soon as I can communicate with the new Pope [Pius VII. was proclaimed the Sovereign Pontiff at the moment Napoleon was crossing the Great Saint Bernard] I trust I shall have the happiness of smoothing all the obstacles which stand in the way of an entire recon ciliation of France with the Head of the Church." Words like those, Pius VII. never could forget. And they were not mere words. They were fol lowed up by deeds justifying and realizing them magnificently. It is noted, hero, in the Edinburgh, that " After Marengo, in defiance of the sarcasms of Deists and Voltairians at Paris, he (Napoleon) had a I e Deum sung in the Cathedral." As the writer had said previously, " His vast intelligence, with prophetic ambition, was already marshalling his schemes of empire." In due course —under his auspices—came the Concordat. The Church was re-established. The exiled clergy were recalled. The Cathedral of Notre Dame, on the day of rati fication, that is upon the 18th of April, 1802, was the scene, of a solemn religious cere monial in celebration of the restoration of Catholicism to France—a ceremonial attended in state by the First Consul General Napoleon Bonaparte, by the two other Consuls, by all the Generals of the French army then in Paris, by the Ministers of the Government, by the whole of the Napoleonic entourage. "Immobile," says M. Thiers, "le visage severe, Napoleon restait calme, grave dans l'attitudc d'un chef d'empire qui fait un grand acte de volonte et qui commando de son regard la soumission 4 tout le monde." "This day," says the Edinburgh, " may perhaps be called the finest and greatest in his eventful history, and if ever he felt the charm and peace of contentment in his stormy existence, he felt it then." Hence—in re cognition of his achievements as the Protector of the Church and as the Restorer of Religion to France —tbe magnificent painting, in which Napoleon the Great is represented to this day in the act of com pleting the Concordat, over the high altar in the Church of the Madeleine. Hence, that otherwise astounding question and answer in the Catechism of the French schools in the early part of the present century: —" Q. Are there no particular motives which ought to attach us, especially to Napoleon 1., our Emperor ?:A. Yes; for it is he whom God has raised up in times of difficulty for the re-establishing of inst. public worship and the Holy Religion of our fathers, and to be its protector. He has restored and pre served public order with his profound and active wisdom ; he defends the State with his mighty arm ; he is become the anointed of the Lord by the consecration which he has received from the Sove reign Pontiff, head of the Universal Church." Lui qui un Pape a couronn6," as B6ranger sings. And, of that solemn consecration and anointing of Napoleon by the hands of the Sovereign Pontiff, the Edinburgh Reviewer himself remarks here very emphatically that "It was the highest consecration in thepower of any earthly authority, on the conver sion of his rule in France into an Imperial dynasty." The closing words of this splendid article in the Edinburgh constitute for it a noble and fitting peroration. The reviewer has been quoting some of the most marvellous among the daring utterances of Napoleon when in exile at St. Helena, and having quoted them, comments upon them as follows :-- " The language in which he thus declares the nature of his project for subjugating the Papacy entirely to the service of his own domination in Europe, when his ambition had expanded to its colossal Carlovingian pretensions is haughtier than ever issued from lips of any conqueror; and if he had succeeded in his aim never before would Europe have been enslaved by so hopeless and terrible a form of spiritual and material despotism. To the honour of the Church his project was defeated. The meek resistance of Pius VII. to the over whelming force which had crushed every indepen dent Power ou the continent of Europe, was there fore a protest worthy of the sacred character of the Head of the Latin Church iu favour of the dignity and liberty of man; and by the justice of Heaven, the victim survived the conqueror, the feeble en dured, the mighty perished." Noble words, and worthy of the Edinburgh. (hurt eirtubt HER MAJESTY. BALMORAL CASTLE, Oct. 17. The Queen, accompanied by Princess Christian, went out yesterday morning.

On Saturday the winter season commenced with the production of an entirely new adaptation of Dumas' celebrated novel Monte Cristo, and after the great labour and expense that has evidently been bestowed upon the piece, it is regretable that success did not crown the efforts of the artistes en gaged in its representation. Comparative failure haslbeen the result of a desire to do too much— to compress within the drama the many and in tricate plots of the original novel. Tha drama, which occupied five heurs in representation, opens with a prologue ; the arrival of the Pharon at Mar seiles and the arrest of Edmond Dantes, the bearer of the letter of the ex-Emperor at the island of Elba.. When the first act opens eighteen years are supposed to have elapsed. Fernand, by treachery in Greece, has become immensely wealthy, is Count de Morcerf and a peer of France. Dantes has been all these years in the deepest dungeons of the Chateau d'lf, and Villefort, who has kept him there, has become Minister of Justice. Believing that Dantes is dead, Mercedes marries Morcerf. The second act shows the dungeons where Dantes and Faria are con fined, and a long explanatory statement by Faria relative to the riches buried at Monte Cristo. By this time the audience hal began to weary,and soon afterwards unmistakable signs of impatience began to show themselves. One of the audience cried, " Speak out," another " Time," but by dint of good acting Mr. Fechter restored attention, hut only for a short time, as the next incident, the throwing of Dantes instead of the dead prisoner, Faria, into the sea, was so badly managed, that the most un favourable symptoms manifested themselves amongst the audience. The next act opened with the inn ' of the Pont du Garde ; but here again the audience showed still greater impatience for the climax. The escape of Noirtier takes place, and then we get to Paris, and retribution commences, as set forth in the novel, by Dante's, now Count Monte Cristo, doing all manner of remarkable things. There is the duel in the forest of Vincennes, and the drama closes with the starting of New Pharon from Mareseilles. At the fall of the curtain, at a quarter to one, there were loud sounds of disapprobation, mingled with those of a more cheering description, but the sup porters of the piece were in the ascendant. The acting of Mr. Fechter aid Mr. Webster throughout the play was wonderfully good, and the artistic manner in which they identified themselves with the four different characters they had to assume was surprising. Miss C. Leclerq, as Mercedes, acted with great pathos and power, and Mrs. A. Mellon as the young Count de Morcerf was par ticularly excellent. The piece has been placed upon the stage in the most faultless manner, but every thing was marred by its inordinate length. If it is to keep its place in the bills of the Adelphi it must be cut down so as to bring its representation within reasonable limits. It will be greatly improved by the operation, and no doubt it will then become at tractive. CORRESPONDENCE FROM _PARIS) (FROM OUR OWN COI:RESPONDENT:I. PARIS, SUNDAY, OctOber 18 The papers are still full of writing about Spanish natters, albeit the real intelligence from the Peninsula has •ecently become of the most meagre character, both in ivality and quantity. The Emperor has returned, but its appearance seems to have put an end to the rumours •especting the great changes which were to take place on its arrival. The disarmament theories are quiet for the ?resent. One of the papers here has one or two interesting items ►mongst the immense chaos of Spanish details which they dl serve up daily. It says that when the revolution com elled the Queen to hold communication with men connected with the party or parties which were driving her from the throne, she resolved to revenge " with the malice of a woman the humiliation of a queen." She granted an audience to the men of the revolution—delegates, I pre- Rune, is intended—kept them waiting, sent them back without having seen them, and then despatched an orderly >flicer, who ordered them to meet her in council at a late hour of the night. When the business was done, the Queen read, chatted with her ladies, dictated letters, tried new music on the piano, tried a new dance, and then went nto the garden to play at ball. After an evening at the Italian Opera, the Queen withdrew to her apartments, where she played music until two in the morning, took a light supper, went to bed late, and rose late. "She sings like a professional, drives like a Roman Emperor, and rides like an Amazon." M. Henri Rochefort's lampooning abilities have once more got him into trouble. He has made a very success ful hit at Signor Marfori, Queen Isabella's intendant, and " friend." The Spaniard has accordingly left his discon solate companion, and has proceeded to Brussels to call lut the editor of La Lanterne. This lively paper has again attained a temporary noto riety. Though interdicted in France, it is published in Brussels, and by stealth copies find their way to Paris, where they sell for a high price. An enterprising company of ten Parisians, thought it might be profitable to extend this importation a little further. They resolved to get as many copies as possible across the frontier, and sell them in Paris at the high figure which they now com mand ; and though the authorities on the Belgian frontier adopt the most stringent precautions against the importation of the incisive paper, the new company managed to procure large numbers. They were at length discovered, and as many as 1,700 copies were found in their possession. The members of the association have been hied and sentenced toperiods of imprisonment, vary ing from six to twenty days. An appeal has been lodged, on the plea that the Lanterne is not a foreign paper, and has never been suppressed. Whatever penalties M. Rochefort may have rendered himself liable to, third parties are not condemnable on that account. The point is ingeniously raised, but without much chance of iiccess. It has been announced that the Prince Salm Salm, the faithful companion and friend of the Emperor Maxi milian, is about to publish a work which he has compiled from material left in his hands by the unfortunate sove reign. It is likely, however, that though such a work may contain some exciting disclosures, it will nevertheless be very incomplete. The Emperor of Austria has a large quantity of papers in his possession, and he refuses to have them published. The Pope has another collection, which were left with him by the Empress Charlotte. His Holiness has also refused to allow these to be made public. What a history would all the details still in existence form ! The North German Gazette denies that the Schleswig question has been made the subject of communications between Austria and France. It adds that the negotia tions between the parties directly interested still continue, and preserve their conciliatory tone. It is said that the Provisional Government of Spain has addressed the Imperial Cabinet respecting the sojourn of Queen Isabella at Pau. It is feared that her residence so near the frontier may be the means of causing disturbance and reaction in Spain. The result is not speculated upon, save that the general belief is in favour of Queen Isabella being left to choose her own residence—whether she prefers to remain at Pau or go elsewhere. THE SPANISH REVOLUTION. The declaration o f th e J un t a i s p rec i se ly i n acc o r dance with general anticipation. 'Thee leaders of the Revolution have determined not to trust to the clumsy and unsatisfactory decision of a plebiscitum, the form of government will therefore be decided by the usual course of a double election. Universal suffrage will elect the Constituent Cortes, and this assembly will determine what form of government the nation shall have, and, if a monarchy, who shall be the sovereign. There can, of course, be no doubt that the leaders will exert the greatest influence upon the delibera tions of the Cortes ; and their personal inclinations thus become of the first moment. A telegram from Paris states that Serrano, Oluzaga, and Topete are all in favour of a constitutional monarchy. Two of the leading Democrats have expressed their willingness to accept a monarchy if erected by the general voice of the people. Serrano and Topete, on the other hand, have likewise declared that they would accept a republic if sanctioned in a similar manner. As the wire-pullers will, however, contribute so much towards the final decision, it may be concluded that so far the chances are much in favour of a monarchy. But who will be the king? Prince Alfred, says the Standard, is still universally spoken of at Madrid as " the coming man." The French journals, however, think differently, and the ablest of them, the &bats, says that the Spaniards would not have the Duke of Edinburgh, nor would the English allow the duke to have the Spaniards. The father of the King of Portugal, Ferdi nand, is now most spoken of. It is difficult to discover what are the special recommendations of this prince for the task Of reducing Spain to order and guiding it to pros perity. His qualities are most of them of the negative character. But probably his candidature has attained this prominence because all others have failed. The Debate says : " He might possibly serve the purpose of filling up a period of transition as a prelude to the union with Portugal. He has been, and might again be, a con stitutional king. He is 52 years old, a quiet and sensible man, and very fond of birds. But Spaniards are not tame birds, and it is easy to understand that some hesita tion should be felt before undertaking to rule so unmanage able a people." The funeral of Don Benjamin Vallin, who was killed at Montero by Colonel Escalera, was a very solemn affair. The correspondent of the Daily News says : " When the coffin reached the place of interment, the outer case was removed, and the face of the deceased was exposed to view through a glass pane which had been inserted. I believe that as there was no other evidence as to the iden tity of the corpse, this was a formality which was required by Spanish law before the interment could take place. But it was not allowed to remain a mere formality. Upon recognising the features of his friend, the Duke de la Torre (Serrano) bent down and kissed the cold glass, and his example was followed by General Prim and other intimates of the deceased, and by many persons who, though not acquainted with Vallin during his life, regarded him as a martyr in the cause of liberty. So great, indeed, was the crowding to gaze upon the features of the dead, that by the orders of the Duke de la Torre the outer case was re-closed, and the funeral ceremonies were pro ceeded with." Marshal Serrano afterwards addressed some conciliatory words to the vast crowd that had assembled. General Dulce has shared the honours conferred by the revolutionary leaders. He has been made a duke. He was not able to take any active part in the revolution, but he largely aided the movement by his riches. He recently married a lady with an immense fortune. Some of the local juntas are manifesting their indepen dence in a very obtrusive manner. The Minister of Finance has addressed a circular to them all, forbidding them to replace any official without the sanction of the Government. IXDIA.

A MAN CHARGED WITH FOUR ASSAULTS.--' Matthew Morgan, a young man, was charged be fore Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting Harriett Frown, Robert Dargue, living in Whitfield-street, Totten.. ham-court-road, and also Police-constabl3 Page, 168 E, and Morron, 139 E. Morron said that about ten o'clock on Saturday night he was called to a tobacconist's shop in 14 hit field-street, and informed by the keeper that the prisoner had assaulted her, and took him in charge. After going a short distance the prisoner said that if he (the constable) did not let go of him he would knock his - inside out, and tried to kick him i a dangerous part, but in consequence of his having put down his hand for the purpose of protecting himself he met with no other injury than a piece of flesh being kicked out of his hand. Page said that immediately he went to the assist ance of the last witness the prisoner gave him a blow with his fist on the neck and knocked him down. Some assistance having arrived, the pri soner, who was very violent, was taken to the station. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked whether the other persons who had been assaulted were present, and he was informed they were not. The prisoner hoped the magistrate would deal leniently with him, as it was the first time he had been at the court. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner must be taught to behave better, and would be committed for seven days with hard labour for each of the assaults on the constables. WESTMINS rE R. A BRUTE.—William Banbury, described as 3 Stable helper, was brought before the magistrate charged with brutal treatment of his wife.

The blow knocked me down• He swore he would knock my brains out. Mr. Selfe—Has he ever ill-used you before ? Complainant—He is always ill-using me. I often dare not go to bed or remain in the room with him, but am obliged to sit night after night with my i n ' fant upon the stairs. I brought him here three months ago, and he was bound over to keep the peace towards me for six months. I let hin t off then because of my young children, bu t lam sure I have no reason for saying it. I should be better off in the workhouse. lam in constant dread and danger, he uses me so bad.

Defendant, in reply to the court, said that a l ' though he gave his wife 10s., and sent here more , she came to the house where he was at work and annoyed him. The wife said she got 12s. altogether from hin'' which was to support them and their family of fou r children for a week, and out of which the defen dant is to have meat twice a day. Her husband treated her like a beast, and did not seem to think she was a human being; by his brutality she W 3O tired of her life. Defendant—l am very sorry for what I hai r° done, but she should not come after me: The Wife —I should not get my money to keep us if I did not.
