BFIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS, The Times remarks that the country has been putting itself to a vast amount of trouble and expense during the last fortnight, and the time has now come to inquire what its objects were, and whether they have been attained. It has, in fact, been at work on two things. It has been deciding for itself upon the general merits of a great measure submitted directly to it, and has simultaneously been selecting persons to carry out that measure in its behalf. In respect to the disestablishment of th., Irish Church, the majority of the new members are but delegates. They go up to Westminster pledged to accomplish a particular end. The House of Commons hal been called the Grand Inquest of the Nation. But the nation sometimes, though not very often, resolves to be it, own Grand Inquest while electing a new House. It has been so now, and verdicts such as that just brought in by the country are irreversible, if only the question has been put to it intelligibly. Future elections may augment the Liberal forces, as Liberal friends of the Church of Englan I discover the groundlessness of their panic; but it hardly seems probable that any question can be mooted for a long time to come on which the Liberal party will be tempted to choose more uncompromisingly Libel: I representatives than on this of the Irish Church. , The working class, which has primarily benefited by last year's Act, might have been expected to infuse a new element int o th e representat i on ; b ut it has not yet learnt, l as the middle class had in 1832, by battling for a common object in company with classes already in possession of a political status, the necessity of combining forces. It has consequently reduced its political influence to nullity by the vain ambition to be a power in the State by itself. It squandered its sympathies on candidates whom no other class, and not even their own with any unanimity, would support, while its more educated , champions were left to fi g ht c l ose b oroug h s . The , Times regrets the exces s i ve man if es t a ti on o f prov i nc i a l sentiment. Each constituency has an incontestable right to choose the man it thinks best suited to its own circum stances; but the theory of the Constitution is that every member of the House of Commons represents not one place alone, but the whole kingdom. It is a disposition to be encouraged that constituencies should in their turn sometimes select their representatives with a view to their capacity for fulfilling this Imperial duty. The Daily News thinks the Liberal party may be very well satisfied with their majority, or indeed with the lowest figure to which their numbers can possibly be reduced. For parliamentary purposes there is no appre ciable difference between a majority of 107, a majority of 114, and a majority of 121. The lowest figure represents an overwhelming preponderance. The highest cannot be more than overwhelming. It is of little matter to the Conservatives themselves whether they are drowned in seas a hundred and ten fathoms or a hundred and twenty fathoms deep. But the moral significance of the elections as a declaration of the mind and purpose of the country is increased whenever a Liberal victory is won, and is par• tially impaired by every Liberal defeat. The Post says that M. Berryer was of that quick, vehement, impulsive cast of mind, governed and directed, however, by a shrewd and penetrating intellect, which seems essential to the great forensic orator. It is a singular trait in the character of this illustrious advocate that in his youth he had a passion for becoming a priest. It was the cloister, rather than the forum, that seems to have attracted him ; and but for the decisive influence and authority of his father, who was himself a lawyer, he would have been lost to the bar. He combined the liberal man of business and man of the world with the Church. man and the Legitimist. His independence of mind saved him from fanaticism both in religion and politics ; at the same time that his pious instincts and veneration for ancient institutions made him look up to the old traditional authority in Church and State. In 1814 he proclaimed publicly the fall of Napoleon; on the return from Elba lie shouldered a royal musket. But when the old rc , ginze was restored, and Legitimacy was triumphant, we find him figuring in the character of a mediator, and vainly trying to tone down the bigotry, the vengeance, and the tyranny of those who had learned nothing and forgotten nothing. He did not scruple to warn the ill-fated dynasty of the wrath to come in the shape of reaction against their foolish system of rule; but even when the day of reckoning which he foresaw had arrived, he still cherished a sentimental loyalty to the Bourbons, though his strong sense made him accept what he saw and knew to be "the inevitable." In his old age he took the oath of allegiance to the Empire, and, having been elected a member of the Corps L6gislatif, showed that at seventy-four he could speak as well in the Chambers as at the Bar. His eloquent tongue is now mute for ever. It is curiously suggestive that the first important public act of M. Berryer consisted in opposition to the First Empire, and his last in swearing allegiance to the Second. The Standard considers that the less said about violence - and intimidation the better. For every case in which these forces have been employed in favour of the Conser vative candidates at least ten can be adduced in the oppo site sense. It has been so throughout Ireland, and it was so in Worcestershire, Leicestershire, Cambridge, Durham, Barnsley, Monmouth, Shropshire, East Cumberland, and dozens of similar instances. At Blackburn at this moment there is a man lying dead whose only crime was that he had shouted " Vote for Hornby." Some friends of the oppo sition candidate set upon him in the street, and when he asked " My God ! am I to be killed fur being a Tory ?" the answer was prompt and unmistakeable. They bludgeoned him to death there and then. It may be well worth the while of our contemporaries to shew that the great constituencies have thrown over Mr. Gladstone and the Radicals, and given in their adhesion to the Conserva tive party for some other reason than that they distrust the one and have confidence in the other ; in fact, that they have said exactly what they do not mean. But no amount of silly vapouring about bribery and violence and intimidation will suffice to prove it, or to dilute and eviscerate of its patent meaning what is for the Radical party the most awkward fact of the clay. The Morning Summary says : Whether Mr. Gladstone comes into power, or a Coalition Ministry be patched up, the Radical party will equally demand a programme satis factory to themselves. True it is that they have suffered heavy losses in the constituencies, hit this will only exas• perate them the more with the Whigs. The latter would fain see the question of the Irish Church dropped, and a laissez-faire policy adopted. Hence their objection to Mr. Gladstone being Prime Minister, because they know he is too conscientious to consent to such a scheme. When he introduces a bill in earnest, the Whigs must declare for one side or the other—for the rights of pro perty or for its confiscation, for the Constitution or against it. If the Dukes of Devonshire and Argyll are prepared to cast in their lot with Gladstone, surely the Duke of Somerset, the Earl of Clarendon, Earl Granville. and many others will hesitate. But if they allow a criminal jealousy of the Conservative party to get the better of their patriotism, we warn them that they will be left out doubly in the cold; for when the people realise the true position of affairs, they Will rally round the Conservative party, the only reliable supporters of their liberties, which are intimately bound up with those of the aristocracy, the Throne, and the altar. The Telegraph rejoices over the extinction of the Tory party. It is as dead as a door nail, or his late Most Gracious Majesty George the Fourth of Blessed Memory. That its survivors do not realise the fact is nothing extraordi nary in the history of parties ; for an extinct school of belief or a sect in politics is almost never aware of its demise at the time when the event occurs. There is a curious theory ventilated in certain metaphysical books, to the effect that as we are born without knowing it, so we also die unconsciously, and pass to new conditions of existence with merely a vague idea that cir cumstances have changed. Such is the case with that which was the " Tory party ;" for not only is this respec table and historical entity dead, but it is positively fos silised. It lies under new layers of events and policies in a stratum which is already Eocene. Measured by the stride forward which affairs and statesmen have taken, it is absolutely antediluvian. Its name remains, just as the pterodactyle might have been called a bat, or the ichthyosaurus a fish ; but nothing in heaven, or upon earth, or in the waters under the earth, remains like the Tory party of Castlereagh, of Wellington, or even of Canning. ROMAN CATHOLIC CATHEDRAL FOR WESTMIN STER.-- A pastoral letter from Archbishop Manning was read on Sunday in the Roman Catholic churches of London respecting the proposed cathedral intended as a memorial of Cardinal Wiseman. In the letter it was pointed out that although a commencement of the collection was made soon after the cardinal's death, it was felt that the neces sities of the diocese, especially with regard to the educa tion of poor children, were so great that all matters not of urgency must be postponed for a time. Accordingly, the ctfort to promote education was first followed up. The collection, however, for the cathedral was not for gotten, but went on at home and abroad, and a consider able sum had been subscribed. A site in Carlisle-place, Westrninner, had been secured, and a large amount of the purchase-money pail over. Respecting the church, the archbishop further stated that it must be the work of a very long time, but that he hoped soon to com mence, so as to make the buildings which ought to be about it subservient to the work of the diocese. One of those buildings would be a house for the residence of the diocesan. These buildings would be executed by Mr. Gilbert Blount, and the designs for the cathedral were entrusted to Mr. Clutton. To the ability of each of those architects the letter bore marked testimony. The pastoral stated that the collection for the cathedral would not be allowed to interfere with the other works of the -vcese. SANDIiVrEST MILITARY COLLEGE. A little while ago there was some danger of the disci pline at Sandhurst utterly breaking down from the mistaken leniency of the authorities. The gentle repri mand with which foul talk and horrible swearing were usually visited had come to be regarded rather as a mark of distinction than a punishment, a sort of certificate of proficiency in the accomplishments of blackguardism. A contemporary is glad to hear that the new Governor is fulfilling the expectations entertained of him, and making the cadets understand that discipline 4 8 a reality. During the present term no fewer than six ,adets have, it is said, been dismissed with disgrace for conduct unbecoming gentlemen. THE STOKE-UPON-TREIVTARRANGEMENT The secretary to the committee for promoting the return for Stoke-upon-Trent of Mr. Hartwell, the " working men's candidate," writes to the Bireingham Post : "It is quite true that Mr. Hartwell told us, on the evening of Friday, the 3th of November, that he should be compelled to retire through being unable to meet the expenses required by the returning officer ; but at the same time Mr. Hartwell did not tell us that he had signed an agreement to retire some days before. Had Mr. Hartwell honestly told us two days previously that he could not obtain the money, there were working men on his com mittee who would have found money wherewith Mr. Hart well could have paid his polling expenses. But the whole affair was an ' arrangement ' entered into to deprive the working men of Stoke of a candidate who was unanimously, or nearly so, chosen by themselves to represent their indus trial interests in the British House of Commons." THE ARCHBISHOP OF ARMAGR ON THE CHURCH QUESTION. The Archbishop of Armagh, on the occasion of the con secration of a church built by voluntaoy contributions, in Belfast, preached a sermon, in which allusion was made to the Church question. The political horizon, his grace said, was covered with clouds and darkness, pregnant with every element of evil. The quiet days were gone when they could build the walls of their Zion in peace. They were cast into the struggle of a revolution ; the throes of an earthquake were rolling beneath their feet ; and they knew not what high towers or lowly dwellings it would throw to the ground before it passed over. They could look for little aid from man—little external aid. In such times and circumstances men seldom judged or acted with calmness. They were more frequently carried away by prejudice, passion, and fear, and did the very opposite of that which, in the exer cise of reason, they would have done ; as nervous men, standing on a giddy eminence, are seized with an almost un controllable desire to cast themselves into the abyss below. If they would meet the crisis like Christian men, they must prepare for exertions and sacrifices. These were demanded by calamitous times. The church just consecrated was one of five built and endowed by their townsmen to over take the wants of a rapidly-increasing community ; it would probably be the herald of more. It would be open to all, and have over the portals the inscrip tion, "To the poor the Gospel is preached." In towns and populous districts the light of God's truth would not be suffered to be put out, and the work of the ministry would be sustained, even if they were deprived of every national stay. It did seem an injustice, after a struggle of 300 years, that they should have to begin and build over again ; but if it were God's will, they would cheer fully encounter the burden. L-411IBETH WORKHOUSE. An inquiry has just terminated at Lambeth Workhouse, of which it would be useful to know more. Dr. Mark ham has, it appears, been engaged for four days in con ducting an investigation into the alleged misconduct of the master and taskmaster of the workhouse ; and the decision he arrived at has been com municated to the guardians by the Poor-law Board. A refractory pauper girl had been placed in solitary con finement in Lambeth Workhouse by order of the master; had been seized with fits, and when supposed to be dying had made certain depositions out of which Dr. Markham's inquiry rose. That the taskmaster bad dragged her on her knees, and by the hair of her head, before the work house master, and that he had violently knocked her head against the wars of the refractory ward when in a faint ing condition, were among the allegations made, and which the Poor-law Board, acting on the advice of Dr. Markman, pronounced unproved. The official letter adds, however, that the master was justified in punishing by confinement, but condemns the use of dark cells as im proper. It further appears that the Board, in reference to Jane Short, the superintendent of the imbecile ward, express an opinion that she was guilty of neglect in not sending for the resident medical officer as soon as Garnham was seized with the fit, and they request that this opinion may be communicated to her, and that she may be cautioned against administering any medicine in future-except under the special direction of the medical officer. After again referring to the officers against whom the charges had been made, the Board reiterate their opinion as to the credibility of Pascall, the taskmaster, and observe that as they had "come to the conclusion that the principal charge against him has not in their opinion been esta blished, it is not necessary on this occasion to take the extreme step of requiring his resignation ; but they re quest that the guardians will convey to the taskmaster their opinion of his conduct, and that they will not only caution him on that subject, but will also warn him that any harsh or violent treatment of the paupers under his charge, or other serious misconduct in future, will lead to his immediate dismissal." Public protest was made at the time of Mr. Catch's appointment to Lambeth on the ground of his past career ; and the Poor-law Board was gravely censured for pandering to what was held to be the guardians' hankering after a man known to be a severe disciplinarian. Mr. Gladstone has returned to Hawarden Castle. Lord Stanley bas written to Principal Barclay to accept the Lord Rectorship of the University of Glasgow. Compressed bay from Bombay is now being landed at Liverpool. The quality and condition are excellent. Sir Richard Mayne has withdrawn his order mains' the dogs of the metropolis. Her Majesty has been pleased to appoint Mr. John Scott, who formerly served in Labuan and Natal, to the Governorship of British Guiana. The Very Rev. Dean Goodwin, of Ely, has refused to preach the Latin sermon at the opening of Convocation. MR. TENNYSON.—AIfred Tennyson, it is cur rently reported, is about to transfer the publication of his works from Moxon, of Dover-street, to Mr. Strahan, of Ludgate-hill, London. Should this be the case, it will be found that the latter gentleman, in Good Words for January, has angled to some purpose. —Edinburgh Daily Review. CABINET COUNCIL.—The first Cabinet Council since the commencement of the general election was held on Saturday. The whole of the Ministers were present with the exception of Sir Stafford Northcute, who, since his re-election for North Devon, has been working vigorously in the eastern and southern divisions of that county on behalf of the Conservative candidates. We hope one minor result of this election will be to expose the position of the Saturday Review. No papsr has more bitterly attacked tho Conservative party at this great crisis, or more vigorously supported its opponents. Mr. Hope is registered, we understand, as its sole proprietor. He is a man of irnmens ) fortune, and could perfectly well bear a lrss, if the expulsion of his present editor and staff were to cause it, which wo do not believe. He has refused to do so. His whole weight has, therefore, been thrown into the cause of the Radicals ! And yet ho is M.P. for Con servative Cambridge !—Englida Churchman. CONFLICTING DUTIES. —A correspondent writes : " Our rector," naming a Manchester clergyman, " was so busy electioneering yesterday afternoon, that he left a corpse in church from four o'clock till seven. While the bereaved friends were mourning, he was rejoicing at the expense of their lacerated feelings." This ast sentence is obscure. We can only explain t by sup;osing that the " bereaved friends " were not on the rector's side in politics. In that case his conduct was certainly adding "insult to injury."--211an chester Paper. A DISPUTED CLAnr.—The SiLle has the follow ing :—" Here is an unexpected claim l All the bio graphies state that 11 , >ssini was born at Pesaro on the 29th February, 1702 ; and often has the author of Guillaume Tell' and of the ' been called the S wan of I'esaro. A letter we receive from the Syndic of Lugo, province of Ravenna, claims for that small town the honour of having given birth to the maestro. The municipal council, in its sitting of the 20th November, appointed a committee to collect and publish the positive acts and documents which prove that Lugo is the birth place of Rossini. The council at the same time resolved by acclamation that a message of condolence should be addressed to the widow of the great composer; that a statue to him should be erected on one of the principal places of the town ; and that the paternal house shouLl be purchased by the commune and preserved as precious monument tr) the glory of Lugo, What yvi: Pesaro say ? THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 30, 1868, A MENAGERIE ON FIRE. An American contemporary gives tne particulars of a fire which occurred at Philadelphia in a saw and planing mill, almost contiguous to a building in which were lions, tigers, monkeys, and other animals, in cages or boxes con structed for temporary use. When the fire was discovered Mr. Forepaugh, the proprietor, commenced tumbling the cages or boxes from the building into the street, while those outside removed them from the vicinity of the fire. While thus engaged a Bengal and a Brazilian tiger made their escape. The former made his way to Mr. Bryan's stables, in the vicinity, the crowd in the street giving way with great promptness, where he was secured. The Brazilian tiger ran along Jefferson-street until he reached the house of Dr. Gebler, near Twenty-second street. Here several ladies were standing at the door, but the tiger passed by them, and through the hall into the kitchen, where he remained until recaptured by one of Mr. Forepaugh's men. The box containing the lion was so much damaged that it was with great difficulty that the animal could be kept until another box was obtained and the lion secured. A large white Florida wolf got out of the box, and made his way through the crowd without attracting much attention, and about nine o'clock in the evening he was met by a gentleman who took the wolf for a dog, and the wolf no doubt took the gentleman for one of those connected with the menagerie, for, as the gentleman opened his front door, the wolf entered the Douse ; but as soon as he came under the gaslight in the hall his character and standing in the animal creation was known. The gentleman, not feeling disposed to use force to remove the intruder, opened the parlour door, and the wolf passed in ; the door was closed, and the animal was allowed to pass the night upon the soft Brussels, being afterwards delivered over to his owner. THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER ON EDUCATION. I The Chancellor of the Exchequer (Mr. Ward Hunt), following the precedent laid down by so many eminent men, has been giving forth his views upon education for the middle classes. He distributed a few days back at Northampton the prizes gained by the local competitors in the Oxford and Cambridge Examinations. He laid down that men who had become eminent had in nearly every case shewn promise of it in youth. No doubt there were instances of men who had been idle and dissolute in their youth, but who had seen the error of their ways, and had given up idle and dissolute habits ; but it would generally be seen that these who had been distinguished for virtue and intellectual ability bad almost invariably given promise of it in their youth. Therefore such an occasion, when the youth of a district bad been submitted to examination, was one of great interest to all who had a regard for the future welfare of this country. It might not, perhaps, be known to some of them how these local examinations first arose. Some years since there was a feeling in the country that the universities were not doing all they might for the education of the people. Much had already been done, but he hoped some plan would be devised by which the benefits of the universities would still more largely be diffused. It was in consequence of the feeling he bad alluded to that the local examinations were established. Thinking men who had given their minds to a consideration of the question came to the conclusion that some benefits could be gained if competent men were sent out tc test the systems of instruction pursued in different locali ties, and to stimulate the youth of this country in the paths of learning and of knowledge. About ten years since the universities established the system of local examinations, and so far as it had yet gone it had been eminently suc cessful. The hopes that had been entertained were not disappointed, for not only had the youth of the country been stimulated to greater exertions in the pursuit of knowledge, but the teachers had been benefited as well as their scholars. Without saying, therefore, that the uni versities had done all they might or ought to have done for the education of the people—for, as large seminaries of learning supported by vast endowments they might have done more it must, he thought, be admitted that great efforts had been made towards extending their usefulness. There was a trite saying that intellectual knowledge was not all that was to be desired. Moral character went for something, and a more fatal mistake could not be made than to suppose that intellectual capacity could compensate for the want of moral character. It was generally seen that boys who were the most successful in obtaining prizes for intellectual acquirements were also most distinguished for good conduct and character. Such, at least, was his own experience, and he was speaking In the presence of many who had the training of those young minds, whose experience, he thought, would con firm his own. There were some young men present who had attained honours, and to them he would say earnestly " Don't be satisfied with what you have done." Some persons when they had gained certain honours, or attained a certain distinction, thought there was no more to be done, and that they might retire on their laurels. No greater mistake could possibly be made. A prize or a distinction in life ought not to be considered a goal, but rather as a milestone, to mark the progress which had been made in the path to knowledge. Some persons talked of finishing their education. It might be so far as related to their being subject to the control of a tutor or a teacher, but it should ever be remembered that in reality education went on throughout life. No one should suppose when they entered a profession their edu cation was at an end, for they had but learnt the best way of acquiring knowledge and of disciplining their own minds. If they had gained that, they had obtained that which would enable them to make the best use of their time in after life. LAW AND POLICE. ---~- A CLERGYMAN LIBELLED.—Damages to the amount of £5O have been awarded to the Rev. Mr. Sankey, in the case Sankey v. Wright just tried in the Court of Queen's Bench. The libel was of the foulest nature, and the jury considered that the justification had not been made out. FANCY BREAD.—Tbe "fancy bread" question came before the Court of Queen's Bench sitting in Banco. The Queen v. W. Wood, was an appeal against the conviction of the defendant for selling bread which was not of proper and due weight. The answer urged on behalf of the defendant was that the bread was fancy bread. The defendant had been convicted. The judges, having con ferred for some time, stated that they would reserve their iudgment until a similar case was argued. FORGERY.—EIIen Brazil, housemaid, was charged at I3ow-street with stealing a post-office savings bank book, and with forging two receipts. She had lived as fellow servant at Dover, with Elizabeth Christiana Bush, who had deposited £8 10s. in the post-office savings bank, and bad the pass-book in her possession. When the prisoner left her situation at Dover the prosecutrix missed her hook, and found soon afterwards that all the money had been drawn out. The prisoner acknowledged she had drawn out the money, but said it was paid in for her by her fellow-servant. It was proved that the prisoner had signed in the name of Elizabeth Christiana Bush when she received the money. — Committed for trial. A CURIOUS Poncr.—A case came before the Irish Court of Chancery on Friday, in which the question involved was, whether the fact of a young lady, aged 21, who had taken the white veil and avowed her intention of becom. ing a full member of a religious order, had already in law become a nun in a sense that would entitle her to receive only that portion of the property bequeathed to her by her father, to which, by his will, she was to be entitled in the event of her becoming a nun before she attained that age. It was admitted that she was entitled to the whole of the bequest—£l,so0 —provided she had not become a nun, but it was contended that the steps she had taken were such as to constitute a nun in the sense intended by the will, and that therefore she was entitled to only £6OO, the amount to he given to her in case she became a nun before she attained full age, the residue, h. , accordance with the provisions of the will, to go to tilt testator's sister's children. The Master in Chancery hail found testator's daughter, Mary Ann Boylan, entitled to the full sum, but an objection had been subsequently raised that the parties interested had not received proper notice. The matter was now, therefore, referred back to tb Master for re-hearing. CREDIT TO WHOM CREDIT IS DUE.-A great deg• has been said about the mismanagement of guardians. It is but right, therefore, that where they do well it should be recorded. It has been announced that the guardians of St. Pancras, out of an expenditure of nearly £50,000 for the half-year ending Michaelmas last, exeeded their estimate by only £2O B,s. Gd., not withstanding that the cost of lunatics, and small pox, and fever patients, over which expenditure the guardians have no control, has increased during the half year by £2,031. VETERANS.—Very few of th© veterans wbo sat in the House of Commons through the aG years of the first Reformed Parliament will (the Daily News remarks) he found in their old places on the 10th of Deoember. They are Mr. Briscoe, Lord Ernest Bruce, Mr. Corry, Mr. Denison, General Forester, Co!onel Freud), Mr, Gladstone, Sir G. Grey, Sir J. Hanmer, air W. Hutt, Sir J. Johnstone, Mr. Lefroy, : Colonel Wilson Patten, Mr. C. 11. Talbot, Mr. Trail, and Sir Harry Verney. Those who have retired from par liamentary life or been defeated in the elections are Mr. H. B. Baring, Sir H. W. Barron, Colonel Biddulph, Mr. Brocklehurst, Major Cumming Bruce, Sir R. Bulkeley, Mr. W:Ewart, Mr. Gaskell, Lord Hotha m, Mr. Ingham, General Peel, Mr. Roebuck, Mr. J. Abep. Smith, Sir W. 7erner, and Colonel Peers Will;ams. SPECULA7IONS ON GRANTS CABINET. (From the Anglo-American Times.) The Amercans' political fight having ended in Republican victory, the ingenuity hitherto devoted to the contest now finds vent in conjecture regarding the Cabinet, and in sketching GRANT'S future. The Republicans rejoice in their triumph, while the De ' mocrats find comfort in the man chosen, who has pronounced no opinions, asserting him to be Con servative in principle, and so decidedly the right man for the place that many advise the Democratic electors chosen to drop SEYMOUR, and vote with the Republicans en masse for GRANT ; naming him by acclamation, as once he desired, a National, not a party, President. Indeed Democracy is sweetly ' smiling on the Elect, as if her early and only choice —and instantly a twinge of jealousy passes through the Republican mind, and the horrid thought arises " What ! if the chosen one, the man irrevo cably elevated to power, should yield to rival em braces !" GRANT would not be the first who has done so ; and however charming " the party" may be, it must be confessed Republicanism has an ugly side—for how, indeed, could it be otherwise, where BUTLER'S head is prominent ? But GRANT is not a nice man to make love to, for, if his eyes do not keep up the cross fire of a BUTLER, they have a strange power of looking through' people, and seeing humbug in letters as plain as the posters which flaunt " the largest" daily paper. If Gnaw doubted it before, he must now know that his task is not easy. Already all shades of opi nion are closing around him, led, as usual, by the extreme and the violent. WENDELL PIIILLIPS, it is conjectured, will, a few months hence, be in bit ter antagonism, and he even now complains that not a single word had been wrenched from GRANT in reference to the negro. The Democrats openly announce their belief in the split between the Exe cutive and the extreme wing of the party ; and the Republicans discuss the prediction as if there was reason in the prophecy. The men selected for office will indicate the policy of the Cabinet on vital sub jects, and conjecture most centres there. It is taken for granted that SHERMAN will succeed GRANT in the command of the army ; but some advise that the department of War with the post of Secretary be abolished, and the whole merged in one official. Against this, however, there is grave objection, which will be better seen when the matter is more discussed, for liberty is in danger when power, so general, is placed in one hand. It is not so easy ' for the prophets to fill the place of Secretary of War, though that of the Navy is gig en with a de gree of certainty to Admiral FARRAGUT. Sotne think that the present incumbent, General Sciio- FIELD, who, with GRANT'S sanction, gave up the military ccmmaud of a department to take the office from STANTON, will be retained, as it would be hard for that officer to lose his military appointment because the country thrust him into a civil post as a temporary wop-gap. The opinion, however, ap pears more general that the lion. E. SIANTON willre turn tohisold seat, and behind him come many names, such as RAWLINS, BANKS, WILSON, and CA3IERON, which list will be increased before GRANT selects his man. There is no office more speculated ou than that of Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. M'CUL LOCH is too weary of the work to remain, under any circumstances, after next March, and we must confess that he has had enough to disgust him. The person most prominently brought forward as his Successor is A. T. STEWART, which may, or may not, be a happy hit on the part of the public. IVe are profoundly ignorant ou Mr. STEWART'S financial qualifications, though we know in common with the world that he is one of the most successful mer chants of his age. If, however, the public believe that a man must necessarily be a great financier who is a skilful trader, we think they err. Mr. GLADSTONE is the greatest of living financiers, but nearly all his countrymen consider that he would have made but a poor trader. A man full of scruples and crotchety ideas who would argue not act, when a good stroke of business offered, who would decline the most profitable enterprize if it did not come up to the square of his morality, who would be perpetually splitting hairs instead of grabbing coppers, could not trade at a profit. In deed Mr. GLADSTONE'S brain is an inflated balloon, which rises rapidly into the clouds unless steadied and kept to the earth by bags of figures. But when he gets these on board he becomes at once practical and master of the position. He is a genius whose flight is above such work, but does it well and thoroughly when he descends to it, while A. T. STEWART'S career would probably keep him on a level below his work, and it is harder to ascend than to descend. JAY COOKE is also mentioned, and the same remarks apply to him. Senator SHERMAN, suggested, ted, Waasnifdistionb objections NeEc have been starte l ag tinst, and a ho s t o f ot h ers are men like STEWART by Protecti on i sts w h o f ear t h e i r free-trade proclivities. Many best qualified to judge hold the fittest man to be WELLS ; for finan ciers are not heaven-born , and re qu i re th e ver y study which has qualified the late Special Commis sioner to Europe, for the post. If he be not selected for this, the most important office of the Govern ment, he ought to be placed by the side of the Sec retary, so as to make his influence felt both in the Cabinet and in the department. Senator EDWIN D. MORGAN, of New York, is talked of, as well as GEORGE S. BOUTWELL, of Massachusetts, for the place. What most concerns England, however, is the selection for the Secretaryship of State. Four names are prominently before the public in connec tion with this post. The first is SEWARD'S, whom GRANT may retain, as the Secretary denies the rumour that ho is about to marry and proceed to Cuba. His long and faithful ser vice, and the fact that the States have at tained to the highest influence under his re gime, may dispose the President Elect to keep him in his counsels, unless, a doubtful contingency, he of M tssachu- S U LI a 3 n IN Ie ER Which suggests s s ee tts, irse theti retirement. m n e e n x t t . a nd beat Senator itself. His, is a long and consistent political record ; liberal, where others were narrow and bigoted ; moderate and Conservative, where many were vio lent and unjust. His antecedents, sound judgment, and long services are all in favour of the appoint ment, but one objection is noticed—a meddling disposition, which would lead him to trespass beyond his own into the departments of other Ministers, and fears are expressed that he might try to take the whole business of the Cabinet upon his own shoulders. Putting this aside, he is one of the safest men to whom to entrust the oldest and highest Secretaryship in the Executive, and a statesman who would shed a brilliancy on any Administration. Both the others are diplomatists, and celebrated, the one in literature, the other in many ways, besides as an Ambassador. Mr. MOTLEY'S name has recently been much before his fellow-citizens as likely to fill a post, and Mr. ADAMS has a career and claims, GRANT could not overlook if that gentleman pressed for employment. All these men are ad mirably suited to be SEWARD'S successor ; all are staunch Republicans, although (i\lr. ADAMS more especially) moderate in their political principles. If England had any voice in the matter she could not object to one of them, but rejoice that GRANT'S selection had been wisely made in the interests of peace. Senator WADE may be named Secretary of the Interior, and HORACE GREELEY will certainly be (unless the public are quite out) Postmaster-Gene ral. There are some, however, who think that Mr. REVERDY JOHNSON will be recalled, and be succeeded by HORACE GP.EELET, while Mr. BANKS, if General Dix chooses to res i gn, m i g ht be sent to Paris ; but these ch anges are hi g hl y improbable. On the whole the people understand that none but the best men will have a chance of a seat in GRANT'S Cabi net, and their names only come up for discussion. GRANT'S friend and neighbour, E. B. Wastinuitn, as well as RAYMOND, of New York Times, are considered sure of office, if they will accept it. Admiral PORTER, WILLIA3IS of Oregon, WILSON of lowa, are also on the speculators' list, which we have now pretty well exhausted. LUXURIANT AND BEAUTIFUL HAIR.-MRS. S. A.

The sort of autonomy which New Zealand has obtained does not answer. The colonists cannot ciomplain of undue interference in the management of their affairs ; the Crown names the Governor, and the colony itself does everything else. But our countrymen in New Zealand are still open to the force of public opinion at home, and, as the Times truly remarks, it is full time that this public opinion was duly exercised. The history of the colony which possesses some of the greatest natural advantage. in the world has been for the last few months a series of disasters. One hundred and eighty native convicts have made a suc cessful and a decidedly creditable escape from a group of islands 400 miles distant from New Zealand. The " war " which has followed has increased the glory of the Maoris, but has done nothing to advance the credit of England. Several checks have been experienced, the last being the repulse of an expedition consisting of 250 colonists and 110 natives, with the loss of .fourteen killed and five officers. It is clear that the colonial force, which has been allowed to dwindle to 300 men, is much too a' ii. A respectable colonial army have altogether prevented this insurrection. Now, nothing remains but to put it down, and perhaps, as the Times remarks, it will be necessary to put it down " sternly." But it is surely a deplorable issue of colonial policy that we cannot live with the finest savage race in the world on terms of amity. We manage very well with natives who are scarcely a step above the brutes, but we can do nothing with Maoris but exterminate them. MR. HOWE AND THE CANADIAN DOMINION. Mr. Howe, the quondam leader of the Anti-Confedera tion party in Nova Scotia, has published a defence of his conversion. He has given up the idea of separating Nova Scotia from the Dominion of Canada as impossible, and his defence is entirely devoted to proving this impossi bility. He relates the history of Mr. Bright's attempt to procure an inquiry into the question by means of a royal commission. Mr. Bright's motion in the House of Commons obtained only 87 votes out of 300, and a similar attempt in the House of Lords found only two sup. porters. Even after the rejection, Mr. Howe hoped that the Reformed Parliament might consider the matter. But Mr. Bright could hold out no hope of this. He gave Mr. Howe to understand that " unless the circumstances materially changed, Nova Scotia could not expect Mr. Gladstone and the leading men who would form his Cabinet, if they got a majority, to reverse a policy which they claimed as their own, and which the Conservatives had adopted under their pledge that it should be main tained." Mr. Howe demonstrates quite satisfactorily what no one was ignorant of—that the project for separating Nova Scotia from the Canadian Dominion was hopeless. MONEY AND BUSINESS, (Front the Springfield Republican, Nov. 14.) The New York money market has relaxed its terrible stringency, and money is now plentiful, and loans easy at 7 per lent. in currency and without commission. This was the state of affairs yesterday, and for the two or three preceding days, but statements of the money market and reports of Wall-street are, and will be for some time to come, " good for this day only." The recent experience has demonstrated the power which an organized, unscru- pulous and desperate clique can bring at any time to bear on the market, and so long as this fact exists, any set tled, reliable, and satisfactory condition of things is not possible. There is nothing to prevent another lock up of the currency at any time the speculators determine to effect it, and the stringency and embarrassment in the market most immediately and inevitably ensue. The lesson of last week's events has already almost com pletely stopped legitimate borrowing and lending, and the market has not yet begun to recover from the terror which then ruled it. The demand for money in business is limited, almoet'the only use for it now being to bring for ward the cotton crop of the South. The grain trade of the West was sharply checked by the tightness at New York, and the pork crop will not come into market for several weeks. The demand for currency will thus be for some time comparatively light, and there is nothing in the near future to produce a brisk movement iu the market at New York, whence the whole country draws its supplies. In the absence thus of all competitors the speculators will still hold the market at their command, and another cor ner may bo sprung at any moment they may elect. The ring so well understand each other's schemes and designs that they work admirably well together, and have reduced their mode of operations to a few quite simple manoeuvres It is said that one of their methods to lock up a certain amount of money—say ten millions—is this :—Five mil lions are deposited in one bank, a certified check for that amount is taken, and then, on the same check; an equal amount is borrowed from another bank. With this and similar means the speculators have little trouble in con trolling the market and exerting their crushing pressure at any time and in any direction they may wish. Secretary M'Culloch has won no laurels in the recent panic, and had the pinch held on a day or two longer it is certain that his reputation would have suffered still more severely. The truth of a large number of floating and contradictory reports from Washington and New York is, that the Secretary did yield to the pressure for infletiou, and, sending $3,500,000 of three per Cent. Certificates to Assistant Treasurer Van Dyck at New York, did authorize him to issue them when he thought the exigency demanded. About that time, however, the stringency relaxed a little, and Mr. Van Dyck has not put out any of the discretionary funds at his command. Ile thinks, and it is reported that Mr. M'Culloch agrees with him, that cessation of the Treasury's sales of gold and bonds will be all the relief to the mousy market that is ❑eeded and all that the Govern ment can properly afford. This conclusion, reached at a late day, and made public at a later, is where the Govern ment officials should have started, and then their subse quent progress should have been in exactly the other direction from that in which they seem to have beet driven. Mr. M'Culloch seems to have almost succumbed to the pressure upon him, and his course has been that of inaction and indecision. His previous record has been against inflation, and his financial policy has apparently been governed by principles which would lead to moderate and steady contraction, but his action of the past few days has greatly shaken public confidence in his integrity and respect for his ability. It is unfortunate that the Secretary should have been so sorely tried, just after the country had elected Grant and pronounced de cisively and overwhelmingly for , financial honesty and a return to specie payments. The Secretary has exposed his weak point and painfully shown his want of a settled policy, which the New York Tribune declares "is the worst feature in the whole business, and has become so great an outrage that the whole commercial public are in censed at the frequent repetition of it." It even goes so far as to charge criminal complicity of Government offi cials with the Stock Exchange, and aids:—" For the past few days a number of despatches in the interest of the Treasury Ring have been received here that have caused frequent rises in Government Bonds, and equally sharp declines, and has produced a conviction in the public mind that almost approaches a certainty that the whole thing is a thimble-rigging game, whereby a few people are in control of the department, and have the power of advancing or depressing values as they choose. It is not believed that any more greenbacks will be issued, and it is more than doubtful if therm is any law under which a legal issue can be made ; but the pu bile have been led to suppose that it could be done, and have been buyers of stock on that hope, which now is likely to fail them." Government bonds have handsomely recovered from the depression which seized them during the money panic, and have been, and are now, slowly and steadily advanc ing. The amount of transactions is very large, and the tone of the market firm and confident. Dealers who, a week ago, were throwing largo amounts on the market to force the price down, have found that they had undertaken a difficult task, and that the recovery was correspondingly rapid and easy. The election of Grant assures an honest payment of the debt, and the public confidence in the Go ♦ernment securities seems to have received a new stimu lus. Prices advance of themselves under the quickening demand, and if the money and stock markets should afford any hope of stability or settled values for a few days toge ther, we should seo a rapid approximation of gold and bonds. The feeling iu the foreign markets is also improving, and London and Frankfort lately show more confidence and steadier estimate of our sects rides than do the markets of our own financial centres. Gold is weaker and declining, with little business either for customs or for shipments. Wednesday's steamers took out no specie, and only a small amount went on Thurs day. The price has ranged at 133 to 134 during the week, and there is a good prospect that it will subside below 30 in the course of the next few weeks, and probably not re appear above that horizon so long as peace is prolonged and prosperity encourages commerce and business. The foreign demaud is already essentially relieved by our large exports of cotton, which is rapidly and abun dantly coming forward to market, and we shall also soon be sending abroad large amounts of breadstuffs and sugar from our bountiful harvests of the past season. The exports of specie from New York for the week ending ou Thursday were but $2,943,195, and for the year since January 1, $141,564,277, being nearly $25,000,000 less than for the corresponding time last year. The stock market appears feverish and uncertain, and all signs indicate that something or other is "in the air," and pretty near. A special drive has been made for the Lest two or three days on the " Vanderbilt" roads, the New York Central the Hudson River, and the Harlem. The Central stock has gone down sharply, and Hudson River has almost as readily subsided, and with these stocks the bears seem to be having it all their own way. The sudden closing of the transfer books on Monday, with only one day's notice, excited general suspicion, and a panie was easily started. It was rumoured that Mr. Vanderbilt had sold out his immense interest in the Central Rea 1 during the reign of high prices, and that lie will henceforth consolidate his attention on the Hudson River and Harlem Roads, which must inevitably command a great share of the New York traffic. The Now York Times, however, which is as reliable as any current authority, distinctly declares these rumours un f ouuded, and advises all timorous and weakened holders , of the Vanderbilt stock to sell out and relieve their minds and their pockets at once. Mr. Vanderbilt, it says, is not disposed to meddle with the ups and downs of Wall-street to manifest his confidence in his stocks, and has no opinion of their propective and intrinsic worth which will not be more than realized. It is quite likely that the Central and its associate stocks will, however, be at a low tide for some time to come, and that the " bears," who just now seem to lord it over Wan-street, will next reap bountiful and "ill-gotten gains" from this tempting and valuable prize. Other railroad stocks are also on the decline, and should Wall-street remain quiet, and sufficient money be available for speculation, it is also certain there will be "thunder all around" when the " bulls" and "bears" get airly at work. (From the Wall-street Journal) NEw Youx, Friday Evening, Nov. 13. Railroad stocks are very excited, and the bears com pletely control the market. First-class Railroad Gold Bonds are, however, well sustained for investment, and we notice largo purchases of Central Pacific, Union Pa cific, and Rackford, Rock Island, and St. Louis. In Mis cellaneous stocks there is little doing, excepting in Pacific Mail, which continues to steadily decline. Alining stocks are generally slow, the exceptions being Consolidated Gre gory, Grass Valley, Quartz Hill, and Smith and Parmelee. Petrc'eum stocks are steady, with a fair business doing.

NEW Yeitx, Nov. 10, 1868. Since cur last advice, the money market has exhibited a panicky irregularity which well illustrates the working of a financial system hastily improvised for the purposes of war, but ill adapted to secure the steadiness and con fidence required in time of peace. On the 14th ult., we intimated the probability that ordinary movements would induce a very active market, presenting a tempta tion to artificial efforts to produce an embarrassing stringency, which has since been the actual course of events. The increased activity of business in all parts of the country called for an unusually free retail circula tion of currency ; the country banks generally drew largely upon their agents in this city ; and the scarcity of legal tenders among the banks was very plainly indicated in the free presentation of the 3 per Cent. Certificates at the Sub-Treasury for redemption, a total of $17,536,0 00 being redeemed by the Assistant Treasurer; from Oct. 1 to Nov. 5. In this condition of affairs a strong combination of speculators withdrew from, the market a large amount of funds, variously estimated at from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000, which they have kept hoarded for two or three weeks, producing a stringency unequalled since the days of 1857. For this period money was considered cheap at 7 per cent. in gold, and for ton days a large amount of the call loans on stocks have been made at from i to j per criiit. per day, in addition to the legal rate. Worn Messrs. Satteriliwaite's Circular.) London, Nov. 25. With regard to the market for American SecuritieS, Messrs. E. F. Satterthwaite and Co. state as follows "In the London market United States Government Bonds generally show an improvement of 1 par cent. en the week, but this is not in proportion to the advance which has taken place on he Now York market, where a rise Of 4 per cent. on the 1862 issue has taken place during the last seven days ; this discrepancy in value arises from the fact that the price for bonds for immediate de livery in New York is considerably higher than that for the usual time bargains, leading to the belief that the price has been put up on speculative operation& Here the closing price is 74i to 751, and for the 1865' 6 ► 731 to 73f. Illinois Shares have been neglected, an d show little alteration ; but in Eries we have again to report a large business with wide fluctuations from day to day, based on the quotations received by telegraph from New York; from 31 on Thursday last, the highest price of the week, they fell gradually, until to-day they touched 26±; from this, however, there has been some slight reac tion, and they leave off 27 The contango paid to-def for carrying over shares until the next account range from 4d. to 6d. per share. There appears to be a growing disposition to take Central and Union Pacific Bonds, and the price here is fractionally higher."
