It is none the less astounding, however, now that it has come to rase. And there is hardly a man of generous feelings, we conceive, throughout the country, no matter wha t may be his political opinions, but will regret the indig nity thus cast by his native county upon the foremost Lancashire-man of his time. It takes one's breath away to think how matters might now have stood, but for the provident care with which a little while previously a seat was secured for Mr. GLADSTONE at Greenwich, in the event (an event yesterday rea lized) of his failure as a candidate for the represen tation of South-west Lancashire. But for that wise precautionary measure on the part of his more de voted adherents, we should, early in the immediately ensuing month, have witnessed a proceeding more ridiculous even than the hypothetical performance of the tragedy of Hamlet with the character of HAMLET left out by particular desire, or at any rate by particular arrangement. It would have been a more extraordinary spectacle—that of the six hundred and fifty-eight new members filing into the House of Commons in the second week of December without including among their number the Leader of the serried ranks of the majority—than the proverbial procession in Old Rome, from which the bust of BRUTES was so very conspicuously excluded. A casualty of that extraordinary kind, would have been an anti-climax so monstrously ridiculous in its way that it would almost have called down the derision of Europe upon the electors of the United Kingdom. That at any rate we have been spared. The country so far, at least, has not utterly stultified itself—as itwould most certainly have done if while returning an immense majority in favour of Mr. GLADSTONE, it had denied to Mr. GLADSTONE hi msel acceptance by any constituency. From this other wise inevitable stultification of itself, England has been spared by the forethought of those provident friends who so very discreetly brought Mr. GLAD STONE'S claims upon their consideration before the electors of Greenwich. And Greenwich, in responding as it did to that appeal, has certainly secured to itself an immense and very notable recompense. It has, by its selection of Mr. GLADSTONE as its representative, rendered itself upon the instant illustrious. No one would recognise that fact more readily or more heartily —we are certain of this —than Mr. GLADSTONE'S principal rival and antago nist in the House, the present First Lord of the Trea sury. No matter what his Parliamentary designa - tion—whether, as it was but a very few years ago, the Right Hon. Gentleman the member for the University of Oxford, or as it was until but a very few weeks since, the Right Hon. Gentleman the member for South Lancashire, or as it is now fated to be the right hon. gentleman the member for Greenwich —Mr. GLADSTONE will be there as the recognised and authoritative Chief of the great Liberal Opposition. That Opposition already num bers up an immense aggregate of 364 altogether As many as 611 members having been returned up to • yesterday's polling--47 additional members alone re main now to be enrolled. Supposing—what is to the last degree unlikely—that every one of those forty-sfsen members who have yet to be elected should in the result prove to be Conservative, the Conser vative members already _returned to the number of 247, would, by the acquisition of that forty seven to which we are alluding, still remain in a minority of Seventy. For, the numbers in that purely imaginary case would stand thus-364 as the (still) aggregate of the Liberals, against 294 as the (then) aggregate of the Conservatives. As matters now stand, the supplementary 47 will have to be portioned out on their return—so many to the Government side, so many to the side of the Oppo sition. But, of the 611 already actually completed elections, 247 being Conservatives, and 364 Liberals, the Liberal majority is at the present moment exactly one hundred and seventeen. Before yesterday's polling altered so far the relative position of parties numerically, the Liberal majority was 131. Yesterday, however, diminished that aggragate advantage to the Opposi tion by fourteen—nineteen Liberals having been re turned within the day's, polling, and thirty-three Conservatives. - The result of yesterday's polling, therefore, directly justifies what we said in our last impression as to the probability of the Liberal majority proving eventually, that is, upon the return of the whole 658 members of the House of Commons, a clear majority of, at the outside, a very little over 100. Fifty-two seats being filled yesterday, caused, as we have seen, the clear ma jority of 131 to shrink by 14, to a clear majority of 117. how many of the odd 17 will have been struck away from the square 100 within the next two or three day's polling that will have to take place before the 47 still vacant seats shall have been filled up , remains now a problem, the solution of which will be visible to all within a very brief interval. However the remaining (less than half a hundred) elections may go, we are still convinced of this that the clear majority of the Liberals will be as nearly as possible one hundred. SOME Conservative candidates assert that the new Parliament will be a short-lived one. They give no reason for their assertion, the only one we can conjecture being King HENRY'S, " the wish is father to the thought." There is every reason why the new Parliament should not be short-lived. In the first place, the late Parlia ment did not last its full average term, and M.P.'s will therefore wish to prolong the present Parliament beyond it. In the next place, the Reform question has been settled, and therefore the main cause for a speedy dissolution which arose in 1866 does not exist. Lastly, the Liberal majority is so large that Mr. GLADSTONE ought to be able to overcome all opposition without the necessity of appealing to the country. Even were it otherwise, we do not see how the prospect of another election should be particu larly inspiriting for the Conservatives. They have just appealed to the country with all the prestige which always attaches to the party in office, and also with the additional advantage of being the recognised authors of the measure bywhich a large number of voters have been enfranchised. Moreover, the question before the country has given the Conservatives an unquestionable advantage in certain constituencies where, as in Lancashire, the anti-Catholic and anti- Irish feeling is very strong. If, with the threefold advantages of possession of office, a claim upon the gratitude of die new electors, and a strong religious prejudice in their favour, they have been unable to save themselves from numerical defeat, what prospec ,t is there that they will do better when out of offi'Je, when the Reform Bill has become a thing of the past, and when the Irish Church question is settled ? Far be it from us to grudge the Conserva tives their consolation. It is well for all of us that— Hope springs eternal in the human breast ; Man never is, but always to be, blest. Tb.e deeper present misfortune, the higher hope ".oars. The sterner present reality, the more airy and unsubstantial is the vision of future happiness. So kind is Hope, that even when a great party is encountering the defeats of one election, she consoles them with the prospect of another. A YEAR ago Mr. DISRAELI claimed that he had educated his party. There is no doubt that the claim was well founded. But Mr. DISRAELI has not been the only schoolmaster. Lord STANLEY has been carrying on the process of instruction with less outward manifestations, but perhaps with even greater success. Mr. DISRAELI at times found his pupils recalcitrant. They rebelled against his rod ; the task was too hard for them ; and so he had to lead them on by degrees, and teach them line by line, precept by precept, until the whole lesson of house hold suffrage and " confidence in the working classes " was learnt. It is thoroughly learnt now, and on every hustings Conservative M. P.'s are repeating their teacher's last words of instruction. Lord STANLEY had an easier task, just because he had not to unteach to the same extent that Mr. DISRAELI had. Foreign politics interest none of us so much as our own politics do ; and we are therefore more ready to accept what is told us in the former class of subjects than we are in the latter. Thus it has come to pass that while Mr. DISRAELI had to overcome tears and sullen obstinacy in converting the great Conservative party to rational views on Reform, Lord STANLEY has found no resistance when converting them to moderate views on foreign affairs. Step by step he has led them on to accept non-intervention, arbitra tion, and, if we are not very much mistaken, he means to carry them to " renunciation." Three years ago they would, no doubt, have resisted the reference of the Alabama claims to the decision of another Sovereign. Now they consider it Lord STANLEY'S greatest triumph. Washington and New York, once the abodes of all that was detestable are now courted and flattered and almost fawned upon in the per son of Mr. REVERDY JOHNSON, Mr. JOHNSON him self very eagerly returning the compliment. But, as we have said, the lesson is not com plete yet. Lord STANLEY, it is said, is seriously contemplating the cession of Gibraltar to Spain. Now, there is no other single spot outside England upon which so much English blood has been spilt, and with whose retention English honour has until now been so inseparably united. It was but a few months ago that Professor BEESLY was rebuked as an enthusiast, even in a Liberal journal, for declaring that England was bound by considerations of honour and justice, as well as expediency, to surrender this stronghold. Ind yet we have no doubt that, if Lord STANLEY should remain in office, he will, during the coming session, propose to yield up this much-prized trophy of English victory and supremacy of the seas. Could he have the support of England ? A month ago and ,we should have said " No," if by England was meant the electors. Now that the new Con stituencies have been created, and the old ones enlarged, we are inclined to say " Yes." We believe that the Liberal party would endorse this policy as they have done Lord STANLEY'S policy all the way through. They see well enough that it is akin to their own policy, because they see that England's greatness and England's strength consist not in the multiplication of fortresses which guard nothing and " keys " which open nothing, but in her reputation as a just nation, willing to do right everywhere, willing in this latter half of the nineteenth century to make restoration for the wrong done in an age when might prevailed over right.

At this particular time it is hard at work upon two endeavours. One is to set up a Home which is much wanted at Weymouth for the seamen of the Royal Navy. The other is to add to the two Homes, which aro all that have been yet provided by the great and wealthy port of London, another on the south side of the Thames, at Rotherhitho. As to the need there, it is enough to say that at present there is no such thing as a Sailors' Homo to be found on the south side of the river, where accessible lodgings are immeasurably squalid, and the docks, though less important than those of the north side, receive as much shipping as almost any port in the kingdom.— Dickens' All the Year Round.

Last night a great :disappointment was expe rienced by a large number of persons by the closing of the Lyceum Theatre. The circumstance, we regret to state, was occasioned by the sudden ill ness of Mrs. Herman Vezin. The theatre, how ever, opens this evening, Miss Milly Palmer having consented to sustain the part of Lady Monteville during the indisposition of Mrs. Vezin. THE NEW PARLIAMENT. -- -- The following are the members returned up to the time of making up this list. The asterisk before a member's name means that he was not a member of the last Parliament ; a dagger before the name signi fies that the member represented a different con stituency in the last House of Commons. The two last columns shew the Liberal and Conservative gains respectively:— SADLER'S WELLS 7HEA7RE. A dramatic version of Miss Braddon's novel, " Run to Earth," has been produced at this theatre under the title of " Stolen." The adaptation has been well done, although various alterations and liberties have been taken with the original tale, some of which, although necessary, cannot be looked upon as improvements, as they rather tend to cloud the plot than to simplify it. The principal part, Jenny Milson, the street ballad singer, was supported by Miss Hazlewood with much effect, but had she dressed for the part a little more ap propriately the effect would have been heightened. A fashionably-made cotton dress and a black lace shawl is not quite the costume of a street vocalist. As Lady Eversleigh and Madame Brewer she was also very good, and, taken altogether, we have to compliment Miss Hazlewood for her performance, which was one that called forth loud applause from all parts of the house. Mr. J. 11. Fitzpatrick, as Larkspur, the detective, acted with judgment and care; and Mr. Robertson, had he infused a little more life into the part of Victor Carrington, would have greatly improved it. Mr. 11. Perry was but an indifferentßeginald Eversleigh, and Mr. Loome and Mr. Smythe supported the parts of Sir Oswald and Black Milson in the true Victoria style. The piece has been very well put upon the stage, the scenery is well painted, and the dresses for the most part appropriate. The house was crowded in every part, and at the fall of the curtain Miss Hazlewood had to acknowledge the flattering applause of the entire audience. THE DESTURC7ION OF MESSRS. GRIEVE AND TELBIN'S PAINTING ROOMS. The fire which, withix five weeks of Boxing-night, demolished many dazzling scenes of enchantment, is one of the calamities that might seem to be specially meant to dispel the glorious theatrical illusions of youth. The names of Grieve and Telbin are well-known as those of the most industrious planners of elfin homes, bowers of bliss, dwellings of delight, and temples of eternal beauty, in the whole world of stage experience. The atelier of these celebrated painters is—or, as we most re gretfully say, was—in Charles-street, Drury-lane; a neighbourhood well fortified against idle visitors who interrupt the labours of art. Even the managers of theatres, it is said, very seldom cared to pay a visit of inspection, however desirous they might be of knowing the progress of work in hand for pantomimes, burlesques, or other spectacular pieces. But though conveniently hidden away behind rickety blocks of houses, and only ap proachable through the most forbidding streets and lanes, the painting room of Messrs. Grieve and Telbin had scarcely a second of its kind in London. Mr. Calcott's, on the other side of the water, is, perhaps, the only similar establishment, apart from any of the theatres, that could have come into ri valry with the spacious and busy studio in Charles street, which was built by Mr. Grieve some twenty years ago, on a freehold plot of land, fifty feet wide :and about a hundred deep. The building, now a mere shell, was two storeys high, the lower part of the premises being used as stables. In these, it is believed, the fire broke out at seven o'clock on Monday morning, and one or two of the horses were burnt before they could be got out of their stalls. The premises are on the north side of the narrow and squalid thoroughfare, and reached back to the almshouses of St. Giles's-in-the-Fields. The flames, which, as we have said, are supposed to have had their commencement in the stables, spread very rapidly, and all the workshops above were soon iu a blaze. Openings in the floors for raising and lowering scenery helped the draught ; and there was hardly a lapse of five minutes from the outbreak before the carpenters' shops and colour stores, with their inflammable contents, were burning furiously. Oils and varnishes, painted canvas, and dry wooden framework, invited the spreading flame, which had seized on everything in the place, and reduced it to a total ruin before the immense bodies of water thrown upon the blazing mass were o f an y perceptible effect. Yesterday the scene was deplorable. Trampling the black slush on. the charred and dripping frag ments of floor now open to the sky, fire men lowered bits of half burned and wholly ruined scenery to those beneath, who piled them in a van for removal. Much of the canvas painted for the forthcoming pantomime at the Theatre Royal, Dublin, was among this wreck ; and, as a dismally curious and interesting episode, it may be men tioned that this is the second year that Mr. Telbin's work, intended for the same theatre, has been destroyed ; he having been engaged in painting the Dublin pantomime scenery at her Majesty's Theatre when that establishment was burnt to the ground. Piece after piece of spoiled painting came sliding down from the first floor of the Charles street premises, yesterday morning, as a miserable handful of speetators, inhabitants of the wretched street, looked on. Ideas of beauty must be spon taneous or instinctive ; for a little girl, whose taste had received no better education than Charles-street affords, looked on in melan choly admiration, at the marred handi work of the scene-painter, and said, with a thumb reflectively by her side, " Oh s s o u r c r k o e w d f ul his heave thun voice, to an infant who look there, Billy dear ; isn't it a pity ? All them beautiful picturs !" She was like Alton Locke, who had his first glimpse of natural loveliness through the magic crystal of art. In her case the crystal was dimmed and shattered ; but she saw into it with her round, wondering eyes. There was, unfortu nately, the furnishing for more than one Christ mas stage in the workrooms of Messrs. Grieve and Telbin. The Prince's Theatre, Manchester, has lost two important scenes, of the pantomime ; and this is the more mortifying since they were finished two or three weeks ago, and might have been taken away. On the other hand, it is matter of congra tulation to Mr. Calvert that all the rest of his pan tomimic scenery was painted in another building. The two scenes destroyed were the work of Mr. Grieve. The drop curtain painted by Mr. Telbin for the new Globe Theatre, soon about to open, has been consumed ; and the Gaiety Theatre has suffered a more serious loss in the whole, or nearly the whole, of the scenery designed for the extravaganza of " Roberto." Au elaborate Watteau scene, a view of Palermo, another of Pandemonium—which was to have been the great scenic hit of the piece--and the interior of a palace have disappeared in a shower of sparks and a cloud of smoke, as have many adjuncts in the shape of wings and borders required for the fitting of a new stage. But the Gaiety's loss can be repaired in time for the opening, which, according to the an nouncements, will take place at Christmas. The scenery for the comedy had not been begun when this fire occurred. " Building and contents insured in the North British and Mercantile Fire Office" is an announce ment which will be read with some gratification ; but it may be questioned whether a loss such as that which Messrs. Grieve and Telbin have sus tained can be covered by any insurance. The in-' trinsic value of wool, canvas, an' paint has little to do with the worth of time, thought, and labour. It is only to be hoped that a month of arduous work will enable these clever and energetic artists to recover all that they have lost. MR. H. J. BYRON AT MANCHESTER.—The author of innumerable burlesques, Mr. H. J. Byron, having latterly succeeded more legitimately as a writer of ',comedies and dramas of real life, is acting at the Theatre Royal, Manchester, to crowded and appreciative audiences. The part chosen by Mr. Byron for his own performance is that of Spragga in " Blow for Blow ;" and the unanimous verdict has been highly in, favour of his roprowutatio, the theatre Wing nightly Wit:KT. -- Constituency.

A fatal collision took place last evening between a riotous mob and the constabulary at the fair of Kilbrittain, a small place within six miles cf Bandon. The late editions of the newspapers supply contrary accounts. One reports that it was a faction fight at the close of the fair, and which the constabulary sought to repress, when both parties combined against the constabulary, killing six of them, the constabulary shooting down several rioters. Other papers attribute the disturbance t 9 the late Bandon election, resulting in a deadly conflict between Colonel Bernard's adherents and opponents. These papers say that many of the rioters were shot and policemen seriously injured. Colonel Bernard's steward was killed. 7HE REFRESHMENT HOUSES IN TIIE HA l'lll .4 RKE 7 . Yesterday, at the Marlborough-street Police station, Christopher Dovanos, refreshment-hous e keeper, of No. 50, Haymarket, appeared to answer a summons for keeping his house open for the sale and consumption of certain refreshments during the prohibited hours before Mr. Tyrwhitt. The case was fully gone into on the last occasion and adjourned for the decision. Mr. Tyrwhitt said this was a summons under the 27th and 28th Vic., cap. 64, sec. 5, the last refresh ment Act, and it charged the defendant with nu" lawfully opening his refreshment house for the con sumption of certain refreshments between the hours of one and four, in the morning of the 29th Oc tober, 1868. That day wa3 a week day, and the defendant's licence to keep the refreshment house was produced. The above Act provides that no per son within the limits of this Act shall open or keep open any refreshment house, or sell or expose for sale or consumption in any refreshment house anY refreshments or any article whatsoever between the above-mentioned hours, namely, between the hours of one and four in the morning. I reject the words in the summons, "for the consumption of certale refreshments," those words being, in my opini oll 9 only applicable to a charge of "selling refresh' nients," &c. ; and I take the charge in the sum" mons to be unlawfully opening a refreshment house between the hours of one and four in the morning) which appears to me to be intended as a substne" tial offence against the Act. The evidence was is substance as follows :—A police superintendent, A t five minutes pant one in the morning of the 29th , visited defendant's house, No. 50, Haymarket' Five men and five women were there—four me n and four women supping together in an upstairs room. Food and champaigne were on the table: He visited the house again at five minutes to o'o7 one man and one woman were still there--t hs man drunk and abusive. Defendant said tbel were lodgers. The women were prostitute s. On cross-examination he said the house w as closed. He knocked, and some one said, " r r t f late." He said, " Police," and the door was ()pole' Another superintendent gave similar evidence e s to the door, adding that one man and one woman were downstairs, four men and four women wer 3 upstairs. At five minutes to two witness visited the house again. Some one at the door said, T i ",, ° , late," but he was admitted on saying "Police. One man and two women were there—the nla ll drunk and abusive. A police constable proved this he was stationed outside defendant's house, and Rt twenty-eight minutes past one saw three men and three women leave it, and at forty-two minute s past two another man left. And the question is , whether that evidence supported the charge of keep" ing open the house in the prohibited hours. Now, is the having persons at supper there after oil; o'clock prima facie proof of keeping the hou ut. . " opened ?" It may be said that, though the oe door was shut, the house was " open" for the pur pose and accommodation of the persons at suPP er i they not being either guests of the licens e e person or lodgers, which last was in this licensee sworn to, but falsely, as appeared to me. Thus , 1 0 rya,door Finch v. Blundell," which occurred in 1866, door was shut when the police asked and go t a mission, as in this case. The drinking being P rele , at half-past 12 oil Sunday morning, the Court held the conviction. " Tennant v. Cumberlanaa was heard in 1863, and is reported in 2d Ellis an, Ellis, " Queen's Bench Reports," 401, and 23d 10 ; " Justice of the Peace," 51. It appears to h 3l been held that an alehouse keeper cannot be e °ll victed of keeping his house open at unlawful h ours, though persons are then drinking therein, if it AP I! pears that the outer door is shut, Lord Came inferring that they were in the house before e beginning of Sunday morning, and remained the till two on that morning. The report in Ell is roe meagre, and two judges were absent. Court, however, intimated that the def end°, might be convicted of selling liquor at unlof,,u; hours, unless it was proved that lid was sold before those hours began, • 5 ' that the parties were the landlord's private frien d a On the other hand, in " Cates v. Smith," deel de o 12th Nov., 1839, and reported 23d vol. <iJust l i c o of the Peace," 739, four men were seen smoking t° a public-house with whiskey and water on t er table before them, at twenty-two minutes a" the prohibited hour, which in that case 0 twelve. The Court of Queen's Bench held t b to the landlord was not bound to turn out his O s immediately on the clock striking twelv• was sworn that nothing was served after twee 0 and the conviction for keeping the house l o t after twelve was held bad. The outer u°oll, was shut—a fact which appears to me, afte r . immaterial, as it might be opened or shut 113 0 0 moment at the landlord's pleasure, unless the 110 was cleared as well as the door shut at on e ' at think that if the house was illegally ope n 0 , five minutes past one, it was also illegally not merely for those five minutes, but for e 1 l t l ' e time the customers then there remained 111 o a house. The last of them left the house at °tate two minutes past two. 1 regret the doubtful State of the law. I see clearly that allowing vil la g ; called a reasonable time for supping and le e°jo 0 refreshment house after one o'clock is 011 0 0 those elastic or popular methods of givia 'v go-by to the objects of the Act which c os' make it legal to keep the house full of a pe tomers during the whole prohibited hours. I 0 0' see that, by the easy process of swearing O A e t' thing was sold —that is, furnished for 111°11 . b ited after one, any charge of selling in the Pre bi hours could also be met, if the latitude all ewed isS' the above case is to stand. Therefore, in c l is ,. lll o lo toing this summons by analogy to them, for tov r ot of forensic discipline only, I shall be ready g it 0 a special case if the regular course respeet i l t he adopted by the police after consultation %Galt,' subject, as I think the cases I have acted on 7 l ba t be reconsidered. I shall dismiss the stunn3°ll,,r'tlAt I have no doubt in my own mind wh ate" boaS eS the framers of the Act intended that the should be entirely cleared by one o'clock.
