1111SCELLANEO US NE WS. tilE OXFORD UNIVERSITY ELECTION. The John Bull is the first to publish the list of Mr llowbray's London election committee. It consists of 170 names, and is strong as regards social position; hut very deficient in the intellectual leaders as com pared with Sir Rounclell Palmer's committee. The chairman is the Marquis of Hamilton, eldest son of the Duke of Abercorn. . The vice-chairmen are Sir M. Hicks Beach, the Hon. W. 13rodriel (whose brother is on Sir Roundell Palmer' , tommittee), and the Rev. R. Gregory, who, to use a university phrase, has been rrostine aecesstt tc a bishopric more than once. The committee con tains the following names of note :—Bishop Ander son, 11. Barnett, M.P., Right Hon. S. Cave, M.P., krchcleacon Churton, Rev. W. R. Cosens, Canon Courtenay, Sir 11. Croft, Archdeacon Denison Mr Dims(lale, M.P., the Dean of York, Mr. Dyke, LP. Hon. A. Egerton, M.P., Hon. W. Egerton, E C. Egerton, M.P., Sir W. FrJser, Archdeacon Gar. bett, Mr. 11. Gifford, Q.C., Sir T. Gladstone, Mr G. Langton, M.P., Dean Gott'burn, Mr. J. I tardy, M.P. Right Hon. J. W. Henley, M.P., Mr. Heygate, M.P. Lord Hill Trevor, M.P., Mr. Stavely Hill, Q.C., Dr Holden, head master of Durham Grammar School Right Hon. G. W. Hunt, M.P., Sir Paul Hunter, Rev. J. W. Joyce, Mr. King-King, M.P., Sir E. Lechmere, M.P., Rev. R. P. Lightfoot, Rev. S. C. Malan, Sir J. Marjoribanks, Dr. Mitchinson, head master of King's School, Canterbury, Sir G. Mont gomery, M.P., the Bishop of Moray and Ross, M. Morgan, M.P., Right Hon. Sir S. Northcote, M.P., Mr. Ormsby Gore, M.P., Mr. Sclater-Booth, Mr. Severne, M.P., Mr. Shaw Stewart, Right Hon. T. S. Estcourt, Rev. Dr. Thornton, head master of Epsom College, Canon Thurlow, Canon Trevor, Bishop Trowel., and Mr. Williams Wynn, M.P. The joint Oxford committee of Mr. Hardy and Mr. Mowbray has Dr. Clerke for its chair man ; Dean Man3el, Dr. Michell, the Public Orator, and Professor Wall, for vice-chairmen. The com mittee includes the following Heads of Houses :—The Warden of Wadham, the President of St. John's, the Provost of Queen's, the Warden of Merton, the Provost of Worcester, the President of Corpus, the Master of Pembroke, the Prin cipal of Magdalen Hall, and the Principal of New Inn Hall. There are also the following pro fessors :—Ogilvie, Wall, Ouseley, and Burrows. The most remarkable feature of this committee is the almost entire absence of the teaching element. While Sir Roundell Palmer's committee abounds with tutors of colleges, i.e., the men who have the training of the present generation of Oxford under graduates, there are but about half a dozen actual tutors and lecturers on the Conservative committee, though plenty of ex-tutors, who no longer influence the thought of the university. It is therefore clear that but for the Act which virtually enfranchised the rural graduates of Oxford, living teaching Oxford, the Oxford which guides the thought of the day, would return not only qir R. Palmer, but mother Liberal with him. The John Bull gives a list of members of Sir. R. Palmer's committee who in 1805 supported Mr. Hardy. These are ten in number, and besides these there are on the same committee eighteen who were neutral on that occasion. Canon Trevor's opinion of Sir Roundell Palmer, 471 re the Oxford University election, is published by the Ministerial papers. The rev. canon gives Sir Roundell every credit for honour, intellect, and con science, but thinks he is not the man for the university. He censures him for holding his tongue and withholding his vote in the last Par liament, and thinks him guilty of casuistry in his explanation of the Coronation Oath. "Sir Roundell Palmer has intimated his willingness to consent to 4 disestablishrnent ' if not to disendowment; this is a weak and delusive compromise. There are some clergymen in England (not I think in Ireland) who look to it as an escape from State control. But a free Church has no claim on the endowments of a National Establishment. Whatever might be left would be left as a purely State gift, and Parliament would take care (as Mr. Coleridge has already inti mated) to fetter it with conditions quite as strin gent and more offensive to religion than anything in the present union of Church and State." Further the Canon states his belief that Sir Roundell yields to Mr. Gladstone's policy in the matter of disestablishment unconvinced, rather than oppose altogether the political hopes of his party and the ambition of its leader. " For my part, though not insensible to the necessities of party I hold that the member for the University owes his first duty to the Constitution and the Church." How Canon Trevor can reconcile this statement with the former one, that he believes in the honest conscientiousness of the candidate, we do not under stand. AN ACCOMMODATING CANDIDATE. Wanted—a constituency which is not pleased with its candidate. Provided—a candidate ready made to hand, warranted to please everybody or nobody. Said candidate would give his services willingly to said constituency. As to politics, like many another candidate, he would " prefer not to be fettered by party ties." In fact, he would " give a general sup port to the Government of the day." Sanguine Conservatives may help to return him, for is n it Mr. Disraeli certain of retaining office ? All true Liberals may vote for him, in view of the speedy return of their party to the right hand of the Speaker. Even on the Irish Church, this wonderful candidate will please both sides. He would cordially support Mr. Gladstone's Irish Church scheme if it should turn out to be one likely " to calm and not to excite religious passions, and to cause persons of all creeds to live together in contentment and mutual respect." This is just the question at issue, and Mr. William Lay Smee, without proposing an answer to it, advertises that he would be very glad to get into Parliament. Either Mr. Smee must have very little intelligewe himself, or he must think the world " a world of fools." THE ROYAL FAMILY. The Army and .21raty Gazette says the projected journey of their Royal Ilighnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales abroad has now been definitely decided. They will leave England about the middle or November to proceed to Paris, Germany, and Denmark ; afterwards Greece and a portion of Asia Minor will be visited ; and, finally, the distinguished ivoyagers will proceed up the Nile to the second cataract. The celebrated African traveller, Sir Samuel Baker, will accompany them on this portion of the journey. No yacht being at present available which is suitable for the purpose, a fast steam frigate will be told off for the sea passages. The suite will consist of Lady Morton, lion. Mrs. Grey, Colonel Keppel, and Dr. Minter.— The English Churchman states that the Prince of Wales is about to visit Constantinople, and that the Sultan has placed a splendid palace at his Royal Highness's disposal.—The Prince and the Princess will probably be present on one day of the Liverpool races during their stay at Knowsley.—Th e D u k e o f Edinburgh has been receiving lessons in ornithology and taxidermy, to enable him to preserve such birds as he may shoot during his approaching voy age round the world.—His Royal Higlmess the Duke of Edinburgh is ordered by the Admiralty to hold him self in readiness to proceed to sea not • later than November, but it is quite possible that the Galatea may make an earlier start, if agreeable tothe Prince.— The Prince and the Princess of Wales attended service at All. Saints, Margaret-street, London, on St. Luke's Day. They walked in and took their places with the rest of the congregation in the most unassuming manner, the Prince sitting on the man's side, the Princess on the woman's. The Princess looked par ticularly well. She has recently visited the Children's Hospital, in Great Ormond-street. ARISTOCRATIC ITEMS. Mr. Disraeli has just been the guest of Mr. G. Hardy, at Hemsted Park.—The dowager Lady Cornewall used to boast that she had five daughters, the best linguists and the best musicians in England. They were the Viscountess llereford, Mrs. Peploe, Lady Frankl an d L ew i s, Lady Duff Gordon, and one unmarried daughter. he two latter live in London, and were aunts of the late Sir George Cornewall Lewis.—Lastly, Madame Rachel, the restorer of damaged beauties, is still in Millbank, but it is rumoured that her family intend to prose cute one of her attorneys. Why ? Because he did not produce the real " " ? CHURCH NEWS. The John Bull states that the Queen has appointed the Rev. AV. G. Cookesley, incumbent o f StPeto H a mmersmith, formerly assistant mas t er a t Eton,' to ' the rectory of Tempsford, Beds. Mr. Cookesley is a well-known classical writer. He is not p ro Rioted, however, for he exchanges £.500 for £3oo.—The Bishop-designate of Peterborough has had an interview with the Premier this week, and was to be at the Deanery, Peterborough, on Saturday.—Dr. Bowen Evans is about to apply for a faculty to re-open St. Mary-le-Strand Church, which is objected to by some parishioners on the ground of innovations. The case will be argued before the Diocesan Court, and should the judge not grant a decree, Dr. Evans will take the case to the Arches Court.—The Church and State Defence Society's signature sheets are F.:al:jug in daily from all parts of England and Ire- The diocese of Bath and Wells sends the Earliest number • thanks to Archdeacon Denison.

COLENSO'S REMONSTRANCE. A letter dated S e pt em b er 1, and signed by Bishop u Coleus°, has appear e d i n the -co ms It is a general protest against the n t of the Times. treatment he has received. esncejally frc- , 72a,,, of ran,Anwn his party. Dr. Colenso opens fire by ivin a flat contradiction to an assertion made in the House of Lords by the Bishop of Oxford, that he (Dr. Colenso) had received "private remonstrances, brotherly counsel, and ten derest and kindest counsel from his seniors at home." To support his contradiction, he gives his published reply to the letter of the bishop's calling upon him to resign, in 1863, in which he expressed his regret to the Archbishop of Canterbury that his first act of intercourse should have been of such a character, and that with the exception of a letter from the Bishop of Oxford and a message from the Bishop of Capetown that the Bishop of St. Asaph was willing to enter into a con troversy with him, not a single expression of brotherly kindness had reached him. The Archbishop replied that he believed the Bishop of Capetown had intimated the Primate's willingness to hold an amicable conference with Dr. Colenso, which the latter had refused, and that the tone of his writings seemed to repel f Tien dly intercourse. Dr. Colenso replied that the Metropolitan of South Africa had not done anything of the kind, although Dr. Colenso had written to him offering to meet any of the bishops privately. Since then Dr. Colenso has been left alone. The latter part of the bishop's letter is devoted to a complaint of the in accuracy of the statements which came from the colony, referring especially to the reported inter ference of the authorities in his favour, as announced by Lord Carnarvon in the House of Lords. Dr. Colenso accuses the Bishop of Capetown of being betrayed into grave inaccuracies when dealing with Natal affairs, and refuses to believe that a Royal mandate will be issued for the consecration of a rival bishop. Now that matters of fact, as well as of faith, have entered into this lamentable difficulty, it wears a more unsatisfactory aspect than ever. POLITICAL SERMONS. ' • That our clergymen might preach on politics without offending, and without bad taste, were they only to choose principles and morals, rather than parties and persons, is proved by a list of sermons to. be preached in Whitechapel during the coming season. With one exception, these sermons—so far at least as the subjects are concerned—might be deli vered to Liberal or Conservative congregations. One of the subjects is " Local selfishness in voters," another " Bribery," another " The claims of party and the duty of private judgment," this latter to be preached by the Rev. Stopford. Brooke. Mr. Maurice takes as a subject, " The faith of a people." Another of the subjects is " Private property and public good." We commend these subjects to some of our " political parsons." A BISHOP'S INHIBITION. A. correspondent of the Law Times having raised the question whether a bishop has any power to inhibit any clergy of his diocese while no inquiry is pending, that paper states that a bishop has no power to prevent a beneficed clergyman from preaching heretical doctrines, or offending against laws ecclesiastical,'until fourteen days after he has served him with the notice of his intention to take proceedings against him, as prescribed by the Church Discipline Act. The case of curates is different. The bishop has power, in the words of the Act, " after having given to the curate sufficient oppor tunity of shewing reason to the contrary, to revoke, summarily, and without further ,process, any license granted to any curate, and to remove such curate for any cause which shall appear to such bishop to be good and reasonable, provided always that any such curate may within one month after service upon him of such revocation appeal to the archbishop of the province, who shall confirm or annul such revocation as to him shall appear just and proper." The opinion of the Law Times is that incumbents merely licensed and not inducted are upon the same footing as beneficed clergymen, and that the term " benefice " comprehends all perpetual curacies, and district and parochial chapelries. From this it would appear that the position of Mr. Parches is legally good. The Spectator, remarking that Mr. Parches was refused an interview with the Bishop to explain his case, remarks that it " has no weakness for Ritualism, but that the tone of the public towards it is getting rather bullying and brutal." It is a pity for bishops to issue useless documents and utter powerlef threats. PETROLETJ3I. A chaplain of the Bishop of Gibraltar gives a pleasant account of a voyage from Marseilles to Malba, by the Egyptis, which carried the English and French mailbags. There were nearly 100 passen gers on board, who had the satisfaction of walking among 100 barrels of petroleum and 20 carboys of vitriol which were placed on deck. They had no cover over them, the corks of the carboys were not even tied across, and did not exceed an inch in their insertion into the neck of the globular cases. The deck passengers and sailors were continually smok ing. This is stated to be by no means an unusual cargo. The passengers were universally indignant, and the chaplain assumes no ostentatious piety when he tells us that on his arrival at Malta he thanked God. If the conscience of the captain was like that of the ancient mariner when he carried the alba tross about his neck, he must have avoided the angry looks of the passengers as much as possible. LITERARY, MUSICAL, AND THEATRICAL ITEMS. The Duke of Edinburgh's book, "The Cruise of the Galatea," will shortly be published. It is being brought out by the Lord Mayor, Mr. Allen.—The Christy Minstrels have lately been summoned to Balmoral, not to amuse Royalty, but to gratify the Royal Jeames's.—The Orchestra says that the Sunday orchestra is likely to be revived in our churches. In one church a country band went through the service, greatly to the delight of the Bishop of London, who mentioned the circumstance in the highest quarters, " and an august personage Lis intimated a desire to hear the instrumental band in the services of her chapel."— Mr. Palgrave Simpson has been elected secretary of the Dramatic Authors' Society, in the place of Mr. Stirling Coyne.—The widow of Charles Kean has restored to Mr. Lovell the copyright of the two dramas, " The - Wife's Secret," and " The Trial of Love."—The organ at St. James's Hall, which cost £730, has just been sold for £lOO. THE " TABLET." The Tablet has lately changed editors. This alte ration is said to be due to the strong Conservatism of Mr. Wallis, the late editor, which has induced him to support Mr. Disraeli, in spite of his No-Popery cry, rather than Mr. Gladstone,though he is for disestablish ing the Irish Protestant Church. Mr. Wallis rather represents the old English Romanism with its strong family pride, than the neo-Romanists with their religious fervour. The influence of Archbishop Manning has, it is said, induced the change of editorship, and of the policy which will no doub+ follow. NEED IT BE SO ? " A Country Vicar" puts a very pertinent ques tion to the editor of the Times. He wants to know whether there is any necessity for keeping up the old rule—a relic of the pre-Rowland-Hill days— under which the death of a private in the army is nor notified to the nearest relatives. "On the 10th of August," he writes, " a private of the —th Regi men died in hospital at Dover. His father and mother are living in a Bedfordshire village. No intimation of his death reachrs them until two months after it occurred. It comes then by accident, in the form of an endorsement written on a letter returned to the bereaved mother through the Dead Letter Office." Inquiry being made, it is discov,:r , d that it is " the custom " not to send news of the death to the father or mother of a dead soldier. If there be such a custom, it is certainly " more honoured in the bread) than in the observance." A DRUNKEN ACCIDENT. Matthew Henley, brewer's drayman, was pleased to get drunk. In that state he was driving a light one horse dray. The alcohol not only stimulated his pulse, but accelerated his driving pace. He went on the wrong side of the road, passing the end of a cab ' rank, so that he could not see where he was going. An old woman of 84 was crossing Ilishopsgate-street at the time, was knocked down by the vehicle, and received injuries which ultimately proved fatal. Thi aoroner's jury returned a verdict of " accidental death," and thus he escaped a prosecution foi manslaughter. He was charged before the Lord Mayor with furious driving, and was fined 405., the maximum allowed by the law. The result of this ease Will give poor comfort to timid pedestrians. Instead of taking his trial for manslaughter the fellow pays a small fine, and will pr o b a bl y drive through the streets in a drunken state again. As the traffic of the metropolis is now conducted, even the most careful are in continual danger of being run over, while the infirm, whether deaf, blind, or old, run a fearful risk. To get out of the way of the hansom alone, with its backings, dodgings, and furious pace, requires no small strategical skill. ( THE ‘ g TRAMP " AND TIM nouGu." That " beardless gent," the London rough, with his neck muffled up, and vulgar, expressionless features, together with his brother, the ragged, dirty country tramp, with slyer walk and more effeminate " cut," really give more trouble to our social philosophers than any other classes. How can they be dealt with ? Everybody is willing to " put them down." But how Evidently what is wanted is some system, not being tyrannical, under which everybody shall be expected to have some means of livelihood. Those who have not, should have the means provided for them. Those who won't work might thus be easily marked out. Then there is the ditliculty of supervising them. Sir Walter Crofton suggested at the Social Science Congress, that after a man has once been convicted he should be required to report himself, as under the pre sent " ticket-of-leave " system, until he gave evidence of reformation. This would certainly reduce the difficulty considerably. But the great ..rvanarvE rata+,o of thinag is that it takes THE SUN, LO.N DON, IN: ONDAY VENING, OCTOBER 26,, 168, up all . the time of our legislators fo deal with mu& questions as the Reform Bill and the Irish Church, so that they cannot stoop to the consideration of such evils as these. It is satisfactory to be able to state that we shall soon have some information on this too much neglected subject. Matters have become so bad in Bedford that the chairman of the quarter sessions has taken the thing in hand, and is contri buting all the information he can gather to a local paper, to be afterwards used in a more completo work. THE WISBECH ELECTION DISTURBANCE. The 'rows which occurred at Wisbech some time ago, when the Conservative candidates made their triumphal entry, have produced an action in the county court, in which a cabinet-maker sues Mr. Young, one of the Liberal candidates, for damag,elto the amount of,2lo,'caused by the mob on that occasion. The judge postponed the case till after the election, thus frustrating the intention of the mayor, who lately thought fit, when in his place on the bench, to make a long charge, with all the importance of a Lord Chief Justice, on a constitutional question, in which he denounced "hoary-headed villains" who incited the rioters, lectured his brother magistrates, and reminded the court that Mr. Young had a relation a journeyman tailor, while Lord Royston was friendly with the French Emperor. 4r.R. .REVERDY JOHNSON AT LIVERPOOL. It is stated that the visit of the Hon. Ileverdy John son to Liverpool will be prolonged for a few days, as he has accepted an invitation to dine with the mayor on Monday evening next. On Friday Mr. Johnson, accompanied by several of the local autho rities, inspected the "lions" of the town, including St. George's Hall, the Public Library and Museum, and the new pile of corn warehouses at the Waterloo Dock. Afterwards he cruised along both shores of the Mersey, and thus obtained a compre hensive view of the dock works. It was noticed that Mr. Johnson particularly observed the Lairds' ship— building yard, where the Alabama was constructed, and that he chatted freely with Mr. Laird, M.P., who accomj panied him during the cruise. In the evening Mr. Johnson dined with a distinguished party at the residence of Sir W. Brown, Bart. The Sheffield Independent has the following:—" Warnings!, it will be remembered, were given as to the conse quences of Mr. Roverdy Johnson meeting Mr. Laird at the Liverpool banquet, yet they met notwithstanding. Our London correspondent reports that Mr. Johnson re sisted all attempts to dissuade him from going, and that in the judgment of well-informed persons his speedy recall is by no means improbable. The Americans were already greatly offended at the result of his fraternising with Mr. Roebuck and Lord Wharncliffe, and it is thought this In tercourse with the builder of the Alabama will not be for given. THE AMERICAN MINISTER AT LIVERPOOL. At one time we thought it probable that his Excellency IlryEenv JoussoN might decline the invitation to the Liverpool banquet, in respect to a feeling so generally expressed in the United States against Americans meeting in social harmony such enemies to their country as Mr. J. LAIRD, jun., M.P. The American Minister has, however, a very determined opinion of his own, and he has for years been accustomed in a fierce struggle to lead a small minority against a powerful and overbear ing majority. He was the man, too, who suppressed BUTLER when fairly " on the rampage;" and taking these circumstances into consideration, we might have guessed that if he thought it right to go—go he would, and leave his countrymen eventually fairly to estimate his motives. The banquet has been given, the speeches made, and the Minister from Washington and the builder of the Alabama have joined in the cheer which greeted the senti ment of perpetual amity between the United States and the United Kingdom. But another scene awaits us, for though on this side it is plain sailing, on the other the Minister is among reefs and shoals, and he must have sat down to that dinner in the full assurance that he was running counter to a strong American tide of opinion. The name of LAIRD is simply hateful in the United States. His building the Alabama for • the Confederacy as a mat ter of business could be forgiven, for all know there are grasping, avaricious traders who, if man kind had but one neck, would manufacture the axe to sever it. A business community appreciates the strength of the feeling to trade at a good profit ; but LAIRD'S case was different, for he gloried in his work; he took credit for the depredations of the craft he had built, and he was enabled to give weight and expression to these feelings as a member of the British Legislature. It was but the other day that. a man named HORNBLOWER—and a very curious name it is—speaking for his friend LAIRD at Tranmere, said that Englishmen " blushed with pride" that LAIRD was the builder of the Alabama. Making every allowance for elec tioneering tactics, this was both in bad taste and untrue; yet it may be taken as evidence that Mr. LAIRD is bent on brazening out an act now admitted to have been not only a national crime, but a still greater folly. The vessel was nothing to have been proud of, for even if all is well that ends well, still she ended by making a miserable fight when she met an antagonist of her own calibre— sinking—alike to the amazement of friend and foe, and so greatly to the surprise of the captain of the Kerseage as to leave him half believing she had gone back to Cherbourg under water. As then the name of LAIRD is detested in the United States, and as Mr. JOHNSON was generally blamed for meeting at a public dinner table two men far less obnoxious, we will await with curiosity the response from America to the Liverpool banquet. As a question of pro portion we would work out for it a degree of in dignation which would loudly demand Mr. JOHN SON'S recall ; but there are qualifying circum stances. There was no ROEBUCK to disturb the harmony of the evening by an outrageous speech ; and when the news of the banquet reaches America beyond the bald telegram, it will be in the midst of a furious political campaign, in which so insignifi cant a person as Mr. LAIRD will be wholly over looked. There is, too, another point which strikes us forcibly. No nation has a keener sense of the ridiculous than the Republic, and national indigna tion aroused on account of J. LAIRD dining at a Liverpool banquet given to an American Minister, considering that he is the member for a town really forming part of Liverpool, would, in truth, sa vour strongly of the absurd. The Liverpool recep tion, also, must be taken as a whole. If New York can be said to be a European City, Liverpool may be said to be an American town. It has grown with the Union from a paltry village to the greatest of all shipping ports, and it owes its prosperity mainly to its American trade. Nothing could be more proper than that such a place should tender a grand welcome to an American Minister, that he, as the representative of such a people, whatever might be his private feelings, should accept the compliment intended for them. There was the re ception at the Town Hall from the people, the Cor poration, and the Chamber of Commerce, with the American flag flying over the building ; there was the luncheon in the drawing-room, and as he left the Town Hall he received what was intended as the greatest compliment, the lowering of the Eng lish flag. Then there was his visit to the Exchange, that greatest of business marts, and finally the banquet given by the American Chamber of Com merce. All this was not to be frustrated because it was necessary that a person of comparative insig nificance like Mr. LAIRD should from his official connection with the town be invited. The occa sion was also used—and these are the only occa sions which an Envoy can use—to tell of the progress of his mission. Here, he was simple and unreserved, indeed so as to surprise those among whom diploma tic traditions still linger of mystery and chicanery. He represented himself and Lord STANLEY as trans acting the important business entrusted to their care in a candid, fair, and generous spirit. Instead of being like two men with rapiers in their hands, at point and parry, argument by argument was ac curately weighed, and the whole nicely adjusted so as to mete out justice on the broadest principles of right. "Two of the subjects of difference are now substantially settled, on terms alike honourable to each, and the third will soon be settled on terms equally honourable ;" and these words of Mr. JOHNSON were confirmed by Lord STAN LEY. Indeed, his Lordship spoke in a tone which will give satisfaction on the other side, where it has been said that Mr. JOHNSON was fawned on and flattered by the Government, that the Tories might have the feather in their cap of having ami cably settled the questions in dispute. Speaking for himself, Lord STANLEY very properly avowed his earnest desire for the future, and for a more proper feeling no Minister could have. " I for one," he said, " shall feel that result in itself an ample compensation for all the delay, for all the ressponsibflity, and for all the anxiety which is at tached to that conspicuous, but not always enviable, position of the Foreign Secretary." The first ques tion is the dispute about the island of San Juan ; the second is that on naturalization ; and the third has especial interest for Mr. LAIRD, for it relates to the claims mainly caused by the privateer he built. The American Minister touched on another point of great interest in the United States, and of importance to Europe. " I was struck," said his Excellency, " when at Sheffield, with the wisdom and good sense of the motto which the Cutlers' Association had adopted "To en sure success, preserve your credit ?" What would England or the United States have been if they had not strictly observed this, or be should they disregard it, which he was satisfied was as impossi ble for the one as for the other. Doubts may arise, but policy, justice, and honesty require that such doubts should be given to the benefit of the cre ditor. This being the substance of what he said it is now evident, and a subject of deep congratu lation to every wisher of the United States, that there is scarcely an • American of prominent posi tion who has not deprecated any injury to the credit of the United States, even by taking ad• vantage of any legal point against the bondholders. His Excellency was to visit the Docks and other objects of interest in the Mersey, at the invitation of the Dock Board ; and Liverpool, barring the Birkenhead shipbuilder, has done her best to do honour to America through her representative. Last Wednesday, Oct. 21, was the day fixed for the grand boat race between the Ward brothers and the famous St. John's crew on the Connecticut river at Springfield. John Tyler declined WKiel's challenge to a race at the same place on that day. The Adjutant-General has already sent out be tween 5,000 and 6,000 of the soldiers' testimonials sug gested by Governor Chamberlain and authorised by the last Legislature. They are very popular, and are prized by those who receive them as memorials of their patriotism and devotion to country. LUXURIANT AND BEAUTIFUL HAIR.—MRS. S. A. ALLEN'S WORLD'S HAIR RESTORER OR DRESSING never fails to quickly restore Grey or Faded Hair to its youthful colour and beauty, and with the first application a beautiful gloss and de lightful fragrance is given to the Hair.

HORATIO SEYMOUR shows greater courage than discretion in "stumping the States" to further the interests of his party and his own election, as an nounced by cable from New York on Tuesday last. If more manly to give up milking and crying, and boldly to face both friend and foe on the platform, still the wisdom may lie in making cheese. We presume it is his way of showing that he will die game, and that if he commenced by weeping for hours " like a newly-weaned baby," he will end by standing like a man in the gap to oppose the full rush of the victorious foe. It is clear that the try ing time has arrived foreseen by his best friends, from which many of them desired to guard him. It may have been very rose-coloured when the shout of the assembled 5,000 which nominated him in Tammany Hall as the Democratic candidate was taken up and re-echoed over the States, sounding back from far distant places, so like the voice of the Union, that many were deceived. But this differs widely, from the torrent of desertion and defeat ; from the foreboding of a failure—perhaps destined to destroy the party. HORATIO SEYMOUR knows that his acceptance of the nomination was open to such grave objection and suspicion as to give a readily available handle to his enemies. But that strange convention in Tammany Hall —the wheels within wheels—is now said to have had an inner circle of intrigue by which both SEYMOUR and BLAIR were used as mere tools to further a State object of the wire-pullers, who, not believing it to be pos sible to carry a candidate against GRANT, thought it advisable to get all they could and secure their own lesser objects in the Empire State. A movement has b een started, according to the New York Herald, by prominent Democrats, to withdraw SEYMOUR and BLAIR and substitute CHASE which, though denied, speaks volumes of party demo ralization ; and it is in the face of such dis couraging circumstances folio wing the defeat in the recent elections that HonaTio SEYMOUR now proposes to take to the stump. If he would throw himself aside, and forward to the utmost of his ability the election of the Democratic nominees for Congress, he would, we honestly be lieve, advance the interests of the United States. There are t No points in which the country is deeply interested. The one is, to secure a strong Govern ment ; the other, a powerful opposition. It may be thought that the latter would weaken the former, yet experience shows that such is not always the case. What has weakened the Government fatally, and would lead perhaps to civil war if prolonged, was the hostility between the Executive and Legis lative branches. We earnestly desire to see the Go vernment united ; and knowing that the majority of the Legislature, both Senators and Representa tives, must be Republican, it would be little less than national madness to place in the White House a Democratic President. If, then, HonaTto SEY MOUR were gifted with such persuasive eloquence that he could charm his fellow-citizens into an act of unspeakable folly, he would not only injure him self, but deeply injure his country. The people are however, too much accustomed to such oratory to be greatly influenced, even though his eloquence ex celled that of a BURKE. On the otherhand, were Mr. BEl'3lO ull, to aid in lessening materially the strength of the Republican majority in . the House, he would do a good work. Party organization in the United States is too thorough and tyrannical to permit of an inde pendent clique, and when the majority is overwhelm ing it ceases to be controlled by other considerations than party expediency, and becomes then the despo tic tool of a few leaders, whose motives may be more selfish than patriotic. If it can and does carry mea sures without discussion, and overrides, without lis tening to the veto message of the PRESIDENT, then it has created what is little better than a tyranny— indeed it may be something worse if the wire-pullers are not influenced by a sense of decency. The re cent elections show that the parties do not greatly differ in numbers ; therefore, according to every principle of constitutional government, the Opposi tion ought to be very powerful, for if not, the citi zens of the Republic are unfairly represented. An overwhelming majority works many evils. Mea sures carried without debate concede nothing to op ponents, yet the Opposition may number little less than half the people of the United States. Not only is arrogance generated with all its train of in tolerance, but the very qualities of a debating as sembly are neutralized, and a Parliament is made to sanction what is merely the decree of a few despots. Nothing more influenced for evil the Con gress now expiring, than the strength of its majo rity, but fortunately it contained many good and experienced men, although at oue time it nearly fell under the dictation of the " War-Horse " element. It is this tendency of a crushing majority to be ruled by its extreme faction which is the greatest danger. The most thorough men are those who obtain the mastery unless the check be strong ; and thorough men are wanted only in war. What is required is that the Washington Government should be all powerful throughout the country for Federal pur poses, but strongly controlled in Washington it self ; and this can be effected only by a united Executive, working with a majority in the Legisla ture, against an Opposition strong enough to be feared. During President JOHNSON'S term the re verse has been the case—a dis-united Executive fighting against a Legislative majority, uncon trolled by so feeble an Opposition as to be utterly contemptible, and the consequence has been to weaken the Government over the United States, while the Legislature forced through ill-considered measures, which require a powerful executive to carry into operation. The result is patent to all— the Southern States reconstructed into a condition closely analogous to a servile war, a Civil Service through whose connivance exists the whisky ring, and other gigantic systems of fraud, and a Trea sury whose officers ate openly accused of using the gold balances at their disposal to aid the opera tions of speculators with whom they combine against the public, while the ruling party tosses the blame to the Executive and the Executive back to the ruling party. For these reasons, we will hail with pleasure a mea sure of Democratic success, which would leave no more than a good working majority for the Repub lican party in the Forty-first Congress, with GRANT in the White House. Though the Senate must be wholly Republican, yet no one fears Senatorial excesses, but many moderate Republicans are pleased to see a Democratic gain of seven Con gressional Representatives in the late elections. We welcome the news of SEYMOUR taking to the stump as a sign that the Opposition is not only alive, but bent on fighting out the battle, and though we rejoice in the knowledge that GRANT will be elected by acclamation, yet we are so persuaded of the necessity for a respectable opposition that up to a certain point, we shall be glad to hear of Democratic success. This is all that is now open to the Democrats, at least in Washington, and we think it will be for the interest of the country that they should succeed to that extent. It is said that orders have been received for the removal from the North American lakes, before the winter sets in, of the Imperial gunboats which have been doing duty upon them for the past two years, and that the whole fleet will winter at Bermuda. A telegram from St. Petersburg, dated Oct. 16, is to the following effect :—" An Imperial ukase has been issued, dated September 16, subordinatini the direction of the United Greek Church to the Ministry of Public Worship." Perhaps the finest scheme that could just now be floated would be a grand Hotel Company for building refreshment houses on the Union Pacific Railroad, and big hotels at the termini. Already something of the sort is being carried out by the rail% ay company, but one great joint-stock company might carry out the scheme, and it would be work enough for one. We learn that the Union Pacific Railroad Company aro building hotels at the prin cipal points for the accommodation of travellers, in the event of being delayed or desiring to rest while making the journey across the plains. Sherman, the highest point on the Union Pacific Railroad, is 8,262 feet above the level of the sea, and 7,292 feet above Omaha. [ADVEUTISEMENT.] -Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— Dangerous Diseases would not present themselves very often if timely attention were bestowed on the first feel ings which betray a departure from health. How many life-long maladies spring from trifling symptoms? The pimple readily curable in the nursery becomes, through carelessness, the immediate torment of after life. With a knowledge of the curative powers of Holloway's Oint ment and Pills, and the facility and safety of their applica tion, those who fail to use them for extirpating the first seeds of hereditary ailments, will have to bear the punish ment resulting from their folly. Holloway's remedies will remove eruptions of the skin, scorbutic disease, and scrofula, and heal every description of ulcer, sore, wound, or abrasion. APARTMENTS TO LET. . . The Newcastle people have had a little excitement lately. Mrs. Rhind, a widow lady, was in the habit of letting lodgings, and on the present occasion her rooms were let to the St. James's Amateurs, of whom Lord Arthur Clinton was one. There were four of them, and they were engaged to perform at the New castle Theatre. During their stay they managed to run up a bill amounting to over £lO, and when the bill was presented, Mrs. Rhind could not get her money. She therefore sued Captain Sloan, one of the lodgers. The defence was that Mr. Cowen, proprietor of the Newcastle C'hrunicle, and Mr. Stanley, the lessee of the Tyne Theatre, were responsible for the debt. The amateurs gave their services for nothing and expected that these gentlemen would pay their expenses for them. On the strength of this they appeared to have lived "in clover." Messrs, Stanley and. Cowen professed only to have agreed to pay travelling expenses. The case was a very lengthy ono. Mr. Digby Seymour, the recorder, tried to stop it, that an arrangement might be made ; but the parties concerned persisted in carrying the litigation to the end, and the result was a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount. The evidence contained some interest ing revelations of the habits of amateurs in their eating and drinking, and lastly, their disinclination to squander money in paying debts. One of the four amateurs, one Maitland, seem to have incurr&l more than half the expenses of the bill, after the others left him to himself, but Captain Sloan will have to pay it. The distribution of the liabilities of the quartet will be an interesting amusement for the "allant Captain, and the collection of the money as teresting and perhaps more exciting. - FOREIGN NOTES. AMERICA. The Hon. Reverdy Johnson has annour c 2,51 to the American Government that he has signed a protocol with the British Cabinet regulating the rights of naturalised citizens. The New York Times says this arrangement is supposed to be similar to the treaties which Mr. Bancroft recently negotiated with the German Governments. The main feature of these treaties, it will be remem bered, were embodied in the principle that foreigners naturalised in this country should be entitled to pre cise ly the same rights and franchises as native-born American citizens. "We do not see that any more could be claimed than this, and Mr. Seward has secured its recognition by half the Governments of Europe. We sup pose our new Minister to Vienna, Mr. Watt, will presently negotiate a similar treaty with the Austrian Government. It is important that the principle should be recognised also by Spain, France, Russia, and Italy." The Republican press is unanimously writing against the election of General Butler. The price of American bonds has risen considerably in Europe since the nomination of General Grant. Some of the New York journals hope that the Five-Twenties will soon reach such a figure as to permit of the resumption of specie payments. TEE WAR IN PARAGUAY. The later intelligence brought by the Lisbon mail an nounces that the Brazilian army was advancing, and was between Villa Franca and Vileta, whilst Lopez was retreating upon Palmas. This seems to confirm the state ment given by the 111 onita it• that the road to Asuncion low lies open to the invaders. GERMANY. The property of the Elector of llesse is to be confiscated. His Serene Highness has been drawing up and circulating protests and manifestoes against the loss of his sovereign rights ; and, in consequence, his substantial fortune, or at least so much of it as he holds in Prussia and his lost dominions, is being sequestrated by the Prussian lawyers. EP IN. The Liter to tells a sensational story of a forthcoming Carlist manifestation. It says that on Thursday evening four persons hastily passed through Paris on the route to Lon don, making their way to the residence of General Cabrera immediately on their arrival in the English capital. These persons were no other than Carlist emissaries, sent to per suade the veteran Carlist leader that the time for a deci sive movement on behalf of the party had arrived. They will endeavour to induce him to return to Spain, where his presence, it is thought, will at once have the effect of raising Navarre and the Basque provinces in the Carlist interest. The Spectator says the chances of the Republicans have increased during the week. Time is telling on the Eepub lican side, and not on the side of Constitutionalism; the chiefs of the movement perceive this clearly, and are hesitating. It is true that Olozaga, believed in Spain to be her ablest civilian, has pronounced in favour of monarchy ; but he does not prcclairn, he only proposes this solution ; whilst Prim, who was much more decided, now explains that he will respect the naticral verdict, whatever it may be. There is this point in favour of a Federal Republic—Spain is, of all countries in the world, the one in which provincial feeling is the strongest. The Saturday L'evicw observes that the Spaniards win he fortunate if they can get hold of a king with so ranch experience and with so creditable a public history as that of Ferdinand of Portugal. The Spectator accepts the report that this prince has declined the offer of the Spanish crown ; but this is by no means certain. Reactionary agents are endeavouring to spread discon tent and disunion in many of the provinces, but they have met with but very trifling success. The Paris correspondent of the Standard continues to maintain that Prince Alfred is the most popular of the possible candidates for the throne. Were he to come forward, he would meet with a reception all but unani mous. Rumours that the candidature of Don Carlos was supported at the Tuileries are current at Paris, but they are not supported by any corroborative facts. QUEEN ISABELLA. The probability that Queen Isabella, together with her daughter and son-in-law, is about to spend the winter at Brighton, points to the conclusion that her residence so near the Spanish frontier was not agreeable to the French Government. The Indepenclance Beige says that the Emperor has found it difficult, if not impossible, to permit her to stay at Pau ; whilst, on the other hand, the Italian Government has vigorously pro- tested against her Majesty being permitted to come to Rome. Hence her choice cf the land of freedom and of refugees, where, as the Belgian paper ironically remarks, she will " learn the art of governing." The presump. tion, that the Ex-Queen is about to leave Pau is strengthened by the fact that she has just received General Goy on, charged, it is said, with an important mission from Paris. THE CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE SULTAN. The Liberte says the famous plot against the life o. the Sultan was nothing more than a little foolish table•talk. The conversation turned on the agreeable topic of poisoning, and one of those present made a remark to the effect that he wished the Sultan were operated upon. The talk spread, and hence the " con spiracy." The Liberte does not, however, readily get over the papers which were seized ; but as the culprits are dis• charged, and the affair is at an end, it is not worth whi. to closely question this ingenious, but not wholly factory solution of the problem. MADAGASCAR. The affairs of Madagascar are no z.::=bout interest at present. The Protestant missionaries are making great progress, and the Protestant religion appears to have been *much favoured, if not actually embraced by the native Government. The opposition of a strong native party is, however, expected to produce a religious crisis. The people are looking for their wholesale conversion to Chris tianity by means of enactment. One of the new refrigerator cars reached Boston filled with fruit and game, which had been one week on the road from St. Joseph, Missouri, and was in good order. Among the contents of the car were five hundred baskets of peaches.

Mr. Melly, M.P., addressed, a few days back, a meeting held in Staffordshire. The meeting was held in connection with the Art, Scientific, and Literary Institute at Burslem, the birthplace of Josiah Wedgwood, in course of erection as a memorial of the great potter, and the first stone of which was laid by Mr. Gladstone. Mr. Melly's subject was technical education. Technical education, said he, had become one of the cries of the day. Suddenly it was found that hundreds of thousands of window frames, door frames, and doors had arrived from Sweden and Norway, followed a few days after by twelve locomotive steam-engines from Belgium, and forthwith everybody rushed to the conclusion that our carpenters and joiners, and our workers in iron and brass had had their education neglected, and that we were being rivalled and outdone by foreign nations. This, of course, led to questions in the House of Commons, and equally, of course, to the issue of a commission of inquiry, and he found from the ponderous blue-book which resulted from that commission that we were behind one or two nations in Europe in the matter of schools of science and art. Com paring Ergland with these countries, they were bound to admit that, though in the matter of art England lagged not far behind, in respect of technical education we were a long way behind other nations. Still, he was not going to say that because some hundred thousand door and window frames, and a dozen steam-engines had been im ported into England, the sun of England's commercial and manufacturing prosperity was setting. On the con trary, he hailed with satisfaction everything that tended to the commercial intercourse of nations, believing that to be one of the surest means of securing peace, increasing the comforts of mankind, and bringing about the brother hood of nations. Mr. Beresford Hope delivered an eloquent and interesting address on art education, and the application of art to everyday life ; and Mr. J. C. Buckmaster, organiser of the science and art classes in connection with the Committee of Council on Education, followed with an able and practical speech on technical education. Mr. Roden, one of the candidates for the borough of Stoke-on-Trent, and other gentlemen addressed the meeting, which was largely attended, and which unani mously passed resolutions in support of the Wedgwood Institute, and the establishment of technical education classes in connection with it. The memorial building is to be formally opened next Easter with an art exhibition. Its erection will cost upwards of £t),000, and there is still a deficit of about £1,400. LAW AND POLICE. THE SMOKE NUISANCE.—At the Clerkenwell Police court a manufacturer was charged with using furnaces which did not consume their own smoke ; and it was even alleged that they were constructed as if on purpose not to do so. The Government officer stated that this problem had now been most thoroughly and completely solved, and he mentioned a brewery which he inspected last week, in which were nineteen furnaces in full opera tion, consuming from 8,000 to 9,000 tons of coal, and from 700 to 800 tons of spent hops annually, and yet there was not a particle of smoke emitted. lie also cited other similar cases. It thus appears that by a strict adminis tration of the smoke nuisance may be got rid of entirely without hardship to those who require furnaces. Defend ant was fined £3 and costs. DRUGGING WITH SNUFF.—The charge against a seaman of having drugged the ale of Mr. W. Dore, foreman of a building firm, by putting into the liquor a quantity of snuff, with a view to robbing his victim, has been again before the magistrates at Woolwich. Evidence was given that Dore was still in a dangerous state, and as he appeared to be sinking fast, prisoner was again remanded to await the result. _ STREET Mum.— In a case heard at the Westminster Police-court Mr. Selfe stated that if a person encouraged street musicians to play after they had been ordered by another to leave a particular locality, he or she was liable to be prosecuted and fined equally with the street players. STEALING CARROTS• — At the St. Albans Petty Sessions, a poor, wretched -looking labourer was charged with stealing thirteen carrots. The man pleaded hunger; he was out of work, and had no food. The carrots were said to be worth 2d. He was fined £3 7s. Gd., including costs, and was sent to prison for twenty-one days in default. At the instance V the judge of the Leeds County Court, the Council of the Leeds Chamber of Commerce have expressed their readiness to undertake the arbitration of cases in which the dispute is principally as to custom of trade, when referred to them by his honour. The man Andrew Perkin, charged with being con corned in the outrage near Bewley, which resulted in the death of Mary Taylor, has been sent to prison for six months by the Wellington magistrates for an aggra vated criminal assault. The electoral roll of the Cambridge University after revision has just been promulgated. It contains 293 names, and is headed by his Grace the Duke o f Devon shire as Chancellor and the Right Hon. the Earl of Powis as High Steward. The Archbishop of Canterbury, who is 74 years of age, has been suffering from severe indisposition for several days. The latest medical report relative to his grace's condition states that the symptoms of oppressed breathing, which lately returned with increased severity, are not so unfavourable as they were during the early part of last week. Captain Roberts, of the 4th Foot, was the only officer who was seriously wounded in Abyssinia. For tho gallantry with which he led the two companies under his command, an. the occasion of the first meeting w ith Theodore's troops, Captain Roberts is to be appointed to the paymaster.ihip of the 51st Foot, after having been per mitted to realm the price of his present commission.
