Election intelligence is of a varied character, and although some little time must yet elapse before the decision is arrived at many hon. members are be stirring themselves, and the new candidates are also anxious to take time by the forelock, so that there is no likelihood of these autumn months being as dead and uneventful as they generally are. No doubt by the time the elections really come on a good deal of the work now being accomplished so sedulously will have to be done over again. Still it is natural that those much interested and excited in the matter should apply themselves in some way or other to render success probable if not cer tain. Sandwich seems likely to be hotly contested, and already repartees are up between the several aspirants for the honour of its representation. Mr. IluGEssEN's recent speech was worthy of Lord CPANBORNE'S " warm latitudes." Mr. CAPPER and Mr. IfowEs have been addressing their remarks to the freemen and electors of the associated boroughs of Deal, Sandwich, &c. Mr. CAPPER reminded his hearers that rather more than two years had passed since they returned him as their member. It was the day before the memorable "Black Friday," which is no ,v historical, and which ushcred in the gravest commercial crisis that has taken place in this or any other country. Other changes were also at hand, for the RUSSELL-GLADSTONE Administration was even then tottering. Their ill-judged attempt to introduce a Reform Bill was in marked contrast to the long do-nothing policy which had preceded it, and, as the result, the Govern ment sustained a serious defeat on its chosen ground, that of Reform. Mr. DISRAELI, the real author of the Conservative Reform Bill, came into office under Lord DERBY, in the first instance, but was still the directing spirit of the Commons. Mr. CAPPER briefly touched upon the opposition of the leading Liberals to the measure, and in asking why such was the case, replied that the bill was devised iu too liberal a spirit to please them. Mr. GLAD STONE'S party preferred the hard and fast line of a five pound rental to the house hold franchise, accompanied by the payment of rates. Some impressive remarks were made by the hon. member on the career of the present Premier. The mantle of Lord DERBY fell upon him when that nobleman was unfortunately compelled to retire, and he could not have been more worthily succeeded. " Mr. DISRAELI is one of ourselves, and he has made himself what he is, and I would ask any assembly of Englishmen whether he is not entitled to have our fair support and sympathy for the way in which he has conducted the business of the country. It behoves us, if we have respect for working men and those who raise themselves, to support him." An explanation was then given of the chief reasons which induced Mr. GLADSTONE and his friends to bring forward the question of the Irish Church in so sudden a manner, and with little or no preparation for the changes they contemplated. An hon. member took occasion during the earlier part of the Session to dilate upon the prospects of the party, and said that it was in a wretched and unpromising condition. Proceeding still further with his meaning, he said " the Liberal party is a mere rabble, with leaders that do not lead, and followers that do not follow." This annoyed Mr. GLADSTONE so much that he made up his mind to do something that should serve to rally round him the Liberal party, and the result is evident to all in the " captious opposi tion" which assailed the Ministry, and the general disarrangement of the business of the session. Mr. llowEs made some observations which were chiefly directed to the remarks of Mr. HUG ESSEN. That gentleman had said that it was a most ungra cious act of his to depose him because he had been concerned in removing the disabilities of the Jews, and came to the logical conclusion that but for his exertions in the cause of religious liberty Mr. llowEs could not have interfered with him. Re ferring to some of the works of his party, Mr. llowEs mentioned the Factory Acts, by which immense good was done to the working classes, and great benefits conferred on the children employed. Among the subjects which ought to engage attention he referred to the Poor-laws, and truly said that poverty is not a crime ; but as things now stand, an excuse might be found for crime in the thought that people are much better treated in prison than they are in the workhouse. A very serious charge has been made against General GRANT, though it requires confirmation, since in the United States men are not too careful of theway in which they circulate reports. Itis;said that the General, when commander of the Western army, permitted his father to carry on a contraband trade with the South. The elder GRANT has brought a suit against MACK BROTHERS, a firm in St. Louis, and he alleges that in consideration of a permit from his son he was to receive from the MACKS one-fourth of the proceeds of :a contraband speculation in cotton. The suit has 'been brought because the MACKS, after the cotton had been obtained, refused to give the elder GRAZT his pro per share. Still it does not follow, if this story is substantially true, that General GRANT is periJonally implicated. lie may have ben un aware of the purpose for which his father required ale " permit," and as the elder GRANT does not see n by his own showing to Lave been too scrupulous is the affair he may not have hesitated to obtain the permit ou false pretences. In any case it is rather u ufortunate for the General that the matt..3. should the brought under notice on the eve of the el.etion.

The choice of a site for this new Palace of Industry has been for some time under consideration, and after the merits of the different places proposed has been duly examined a selection is said to have been made of the plain beyond Charlottenburg. There is at that spot not only a sufficient extent of ground for the largest construction, but it also presents the advantage of very easy communication by steam boat and by American railway." A statue of Joan of Arc is to be inaugurated at Melun on the loth, in commemoration of the relief of that town by the maid of Orleans, when it was besieged by the English iu 1430. The Court of Causation has just decided that when a husband and wife cannot agree upon the choice of a godmother for their child, the tribunals may order that the selection made by the father shall be acted on even in casts in which separation a mensa et thoro shall have been pronounced at the instance of the mother, and that the latter, charged by the judgment of separation with the custody of the child, may have proposed as female sponsor her own mother, the only surviving grand-parent of the infant. Another international exhibition is announced. This one will be held at Berlin in the year 1872. The building is to be erected on the ground opposite the Charlottenburg Ta!ace. The Prussian Government has decided to allow the European public plenty of time to recover from the great show at Paris. If we have no great exhibition until 1872 the Prussians may reasonably hope for a success. The relations between the Cabinets of Madrid and Lisbon are said to be very unfriendly. The Spanish Government is so provoked at the welcome given in Portugal to the Duke and Duchess of Montpensier, that the idea of recalling the Spanish Ambassador at Lisbon was seriously entertained—Lut not for long. The raid upon the press still continues. The Moniteur publishes some details respecting the surprise and massacre of twenty-five French soldiers in Cochin China, already reported by telegraph. From this it appears that the attack was made on the 16th June, at three in the morning ; the assailants entered the fort by a gate unsecurely barricaded, and, after killing the sentinel, fell upon the men, who were sleeping in different huts. The lieutenant and several soldiers, however, had time to seize their arms, and defended themselves to the last moment; but they all perished excepting one man, who succeeded in escaping into the bushes. As soon as the news of this melancholy event reached the Governor of Cochin China, steps were taken to punish the insurgents. A corps cum• posed of French troops and native militia was despatehzd, under the command of Captain Ansart, commander of the province of Vinh-Long, and having reached Rach-Gia on the 21st of Juue, drove out the enemy, who fled, after suffering great loss, and abandoning their arms. This affair cost only one native killed and two Frenchmen Wounded. The band of miscreants, 1,000 in number, was composed entirely of robbers, and only succeede 1 through want of vigilance on the part of the commander of the small garrison. The disaster, says the Moniteur, was quite accidental and local, and the movement has nol antaari.

PROPOSED RAILWAY BETWEEN, ENGLAND AND FRANCE. A plan has been brought forward by Mr. Remington for uniting England and France, rn his prospectus he states that the line is intended to commence at the town of Lydd, where it will join the branch railway from the South Eastern at Appledore. It will descend from Lydd at an inclination of 1 in 70, the distance of 3i miles to the point of Dungeness, where the level of the rails will be 240 feet below the level of the low-water spring tides ; the rails would then rise from Dungeness shaft at the rate of 1 in 3,795 for about 7 miles, then fall at the rate of 1 in 1,200 for about 8 miles to the centre shaft on the "ridge ; from thence fall at the rate of 1 in 3,265 for 11 miles to Cape Grisnez, and then rise at the rate of 1 in 70 and 1 in 81 to join the French railways. One advantage that Mr. Remington mentions of the Dungeness route in preference to that of the Dover and Calais, is that the tunnel he estimates can be constructed for £7,000,000, whereas a bridge from Dover to Calais has been estimated to cost £20,000,000. According to Mr. Remington's plan, the height of the tunnel will be thirty feet from the soffit of the arch to the centre of the invert, and there will be a clear headway of twenty feet for the trains: the width of the tunnel will be twenty-five feet ; it will be constructed of bricks ork and masonry, surrounded with concrete ; there will be three main shafts of large dimensions ; the centre shaft on the " ridge" will be protected by a break water, formed of rubble and faced with ashlars ; the other shafts are to be effected by means of wrought iron tubular piles from eight to ten feet square, or diameter, the inside strengthened with plates on the cellular principle. Mr. Remington remarks that "should it be decided on to employ ten intermediate shaft; it is quite clear that the tunnel may be carried on in twenty-six sections simulta neously, and, as the distance across the Channel is twenty six miles, gives only one mile for each section, or two miles for a shaft ; and, asuming only one yard advance per day for each heading, the whole works might be ac complished in five and a half years ; but by means of im proved machinery for tunnelling much more rapid progress might be made. ARBITRATIONS AND THEIR COST. The Pall Mall Gazette calls attention to the great cost of arbitrations at law. An arbitration suggests to ono conci liation, and has a smack of cheapness. In actual practice an arbitration is nothing but a lawsuit of the most lengthy kind in which everything is paid for by the litigants at the very highest price, nothing being supplied by the public. If A and B quar rel about a comparatively simple question—the war ranty say of a horse—the public finds them a court, a judge, and a jury, before whom they may if they please toll their own story in their own persons as long as they please, and practically at no expense except that of their own time and labour, and the time of their witnesses. If the dispute is very complicated—if, for instance, it involves the examination of complicated mercantile affairs in which all sorts of questions, both of law and of fact, aro involved—they must first of all hiro a room for the hearing at so much a day, they must then biro a judge at so much a day, twenty guineas, ten guineas, six guineas, three guineas, according to his position, the nature of the case, and the length of tho sitting. Their judge will have other business, and will often go off in the middle of the day, for a longer or shorter time, to attend to it. There will be no fixed rule as to the time when the court is to sit, and they will have to bargain and higgle with the other side and to dunce attend ance from adjournment to adjournment till the matter is settled, and it may and often does drag on for many months, possibly for several years. At last the judge gives his decision, but his fees must be paid before any ono knows what it is, and those fees not only re ward him for the labour of hearing the cause, but include a stamp duty on the judgment and the law stationer's charges for copying it out. Surely this is not only selling justice but selling it uncommonly dear, and to a man who has already paid taxes for which ho ought to get it gratuitously. It may be asked, what is the remedy? The Pall Mall Gazette does not profess to bo able to sug gest one complete in a) its details, but the rough outline of one is not, it thinks, very hard to draw. It certainly is impossible, in many instances, that a case should be tried out before a judge and jury. It would be a mere mockery of justice and waste of the public time to attempt to do so. A trial before an arbi trator is thus a necessity ; but why should not the arbitrator be a public officer, appointed by the judge and paid by the public, and put under regulations which might bo devised without very great difficulty as to the times and places of his sittings ? The arbitrators might be the very same men as sit at present, but they would sit in a different cha racter and with a different authority. , ATTACK OF A BRITISH GUNBOAT ON SUPPOSED CHINESE PIRATES. The last mail from China brought an account of an attack by the British screw gunboat Algerine on some Chinese junks, which were supposed to be pirate vessels. In reference to this account the Straits Times of the 4th July makes the following extraordinary statement : "A very painful discovery has been made in connection with the engagement the Algerinc lately had, as described '.n the last report, with a fleet of Chinese junks, supposed •to be pirates, down the west coast. One of these, it will remembered, was captured, and brought into Hong Kong. It was here ascertained, after a while, that the fleet had not been a pirate fleet after all, but had simply been composed of Canton trading junks, on theirway to Hainan, which had been sailing in company for their own protec tion. It must be understood that the trading junks are almost as much in fear of the Chinese Government gun boats as of the pirates. Latterly in particular these revenue cruisers have been levying black mail at sea over and above the regular duty which the Chinese merchants have paid on their goods. Of course such proceedings were utterly illegal, but the victims had no remedy at their disposal. To resist the cruisers, they had, it seems, determined to sail on this voyage strongly armed, and in company. Of course it is very painful to think that a British gunboat attacked them with round shot and grape, and slaughtered immense numbers of innocent persons. That the junks brought their misfortunes on their own head by pertinaciously refusing to shew their papers is but au imperfect consolation. The Algerine had a Chinese mandarin on board, by whose authority she attacked the junks, and whether he was misled as to their character, or deliberately made use of the English gunboat as a tool with which to wreak vengeance on the native merchants who had succeeded in escaping from the Government ' squeeze,' is a question not easy to answer." The same journal gives an account of an attack by pirates on the North German barque Lesmona, while on a voyage from Singapore to Saigon : " While becalmed in the Gulf of Tonquin she was taken —actually captured, looted, and then scuttled—by Chinese pirates. The vessel seems to have had eight double barrelled breech-loading muskets on board, and a large quantity of ammunition, but the crew refused to fight, and allowed themselves to be taken by one pirate junk, and boarded by only 20 or 30 natives. This is the first instance in which a European vessel has been attacked for considerably more than a year." PRIZEFIGHTERS ON RAILWAYS.—There is a • sec tion in the New Regulation of Railways Act, published on Monday, that a railway company " knowingly " letting for hire a train for prizefighters, shall be liable to a fine of £5OO, one-half to be given to the informer, and the other in aid of the county rate. Mr. Thomas Clapham has again been charged be fore the Leeds magistrates with permitting the performance of music at the Royal Park without a license. Mr. Clapham made a long address, disputing the action of the bench in "this" and the many former cases in which he bad been fined ; but ho was again fined £lO for tho offence on Satur day and Sunday, August Ist and 2d, .£5 for each day. The wheat importations of the first half of the pre sent year have been 23 per cent. in excess of those of the corresponding period of last year, and 54 in excess of those of 1866. Russia contributed 25 per cent. of the total; the United States, 22 per cent. ; Germany, 16} per cent.; Egypt, from whence last year the quantity was insig nificant, 13 per cent. ; Turkey and the Danubian Principali ties, 11 per cent. ; 111yria, Croatia, and Dalmatia, 3} por cent. ; Chili, 2} per cent. ; Denmark, 1} per cent. ; British North America, 1 per cent., and other countries 4 per cont. A MußnunEn.'s IMPULSE. —Gunner Benjamin Sheldon, who was hanged at Lucknow for having shot and killed Bombardier Wall, made a strange confession. On the day of the murder he had been led " by the kindness of his friends," to drink to excess. "In the evening," he says, " I must have been at roll-call, although I do not recollect it ; and the first thing I do recollect, and after leaving the canteen when it was closed, was finding myself at the cot of Corporal Wail with a carbine in my hand. I cannot tell whether Corporal Wall was asleep or awake. It was then, as in a moment, I felt impelled by some uncontrollable impulse to shoot him. I tried not to do it, but I had no power— it was as if I could not leave the spot. It seems to me as if I had been under a strong and irrisistible temptation of the devil. Ido not remember discharging the carbine, or speaking to anyone ; but my next conscious moment was when I was being handcuffed in the guard room, as one of the handcuffs nipped me. In was not until the next morning, when I was told of what had happened, that the circumstance of having been at Corporal Wall's cot flashed upon pae." • , iY• HER MAJESTY.

Morrison, F.A.S.L., Coni- mauder R.N. Captain Morrison has for some years been very well kno.vn as a highly accomplished master both of astronomy and mathematics. He has evidenced his ability as a student in each of those grand sciences by works displaying a large amount of research and a yet larger amount of originality. Nothing that he has hitherto written upon either theme, however, can in any way vie in daring with the remarkable pamphlet-treatise here submitted to our consideration. Although in a purely tentative manner, it undertakes to sweep altogether on one side, as obsolete from this time forth and for ever, the whole Newtonian System as based upon the law of gravitation and upon the balance or equipoise produced by the relative influence upon each other of the centrifugal and centrepital forces. Newton's conclusion was " that the power of gravity was sufficient to give the planets a mo tion in a straight line, but that it required the power of the Almighty to deflect that motion into an orbit." Not satisfied, according to Captain Morrison, with this partial or inferential profanity, as he deems it to have been, the followers of New ton, he says, going very much farther than their master, "refer all motion and nearly all formation to the power of gravity alone." Sir Isaac Newton's chief dogma, it will be remembered, is, that " each particle of matter attracts all other particles in the universe in the inverse ratio of the distances from each other." Commenting upon which dictum, our pamphleteer exclaims, "So that every particle of matter in a sack of flour attracts every particle in the miller's snuff-box, and vice versa." Adding, " How wonderfully this clears up the mystery Of creation, and makes all that was hitherto full of doubt as plain as a pikestaff !" Captain - Morrison's first argument against the credibility of the New tonian scheme of the Solar System arises out of the consideration that, although the Earth in going round the Sun once each year, and being at a dis tance from that body of nearly 95,000,000 of miles—consequently twice each year minor ing double that distance, or, in other words , 190 millions of miles—nevertheless, "we are informed," he argues, " that this vast and tremen dous distance makes no kind of difference in the appearance of the fixed stars as a rule ; and that the Pole Star, for instance, does not appear to be removed even the fraction of a second from its place at the vernal equinox, when the earth has reached its destination at the autumnal equinox.' Observe—supposing there were but one second of parallax discernible, which there is not—the dis tance of the Pole Star (the nearest of the fixed stars) from the earth would then be--what? Why more than thirty-nine billions one hundred and ninety-one thousand millions of miles! To put it in numerals-39,191,000,000,000 ! But —one second or one fraction of a second of parallax there is not discernible—"and therefore," argues our Iconoclast of Newtonianism, " the Pole Star must be supposed to be much further away." Furthermore, he asks Is it not far more reasonable and satisfactorY to think and believe that the reason we can dis cover no kind of parallax in the Pole Star is, not that it exists at this wondrous distance, but that the earth does not move at all from its place at the vernal equinox ; and that, therefore, there should needs be no kind of parallactic angle formed with the sun." Not only was it the belief of Aristotle and Ptolemy, he insists, but it was the belief of 3 thousand great men since their day that the earth is at rest and in the centre of the solar system. Fa r beyond the authority:of Ptolemy or of Aristotle, or of all the Pagan sages combined is the emphatic and reiterated declaration, he maintains, of Kingnali d as set forth in the ninety-third and ninety-sixt h Psalms, " The earth is established and cannot be at all shaken"—in Hebrew Alph thacun thabel, be; thamut—in Latin (the Vulgate) Etenini firmat'D orbem terra, qui non commovebitur—inF r ench (Jaques de Bay, 1572) Certainement it a affermy le m onde, lequel ne se bouge point —or, in the English version, "The world, also, is stablished, that it cannot he moved," or, ill other words, " cannot be at all shaken." Hence, " The New Principia, or th e True System of Astronomy," as here set forth hi R. J. Morrison, F.A.S.L., Commander R.N. i ° it, that this daring little treatise of 64 page, "The:Earth is proved [to quote the declaration 0° its title page] to be the Stationary Centre of th e Solar System." Not only that, but—again quoting the words of the title-page—" the sun is shown t ° be only 365,006 miles from the earth—and th e moon only 32,828.5 miles distant"—the sun travel ling yearly in an ellipse around the earth--- - t he other planets moving about the sun in ellipses also. How all this is " demonstrated" by Captal: Morrison, the reader may readily understand ° turning to an examination of the pamphlet itself"' a pamphlet as daring in it 3 design as in its ye l l title as " The New Principia."
