BEIRIT OF TILE PrELIO JOURNALS. The Timm contains a review of the Reformed Parlia• went from 1832 to 1868, and in a leader upon the subject remarks : To many of us it seems but the other day since the Duke of Wellington said, upon the passing of the Reform Bill, that he did not see how the country was to be governed. Of course it was not necessary that he, or any other man, should see exactly how the measure was to work, but not only were appearances sinister, but events very soon shewed that the difficulty of government would remain not less than it had been before. Further changes are in store for us. At the end of thirty-six years we shall find there is still something to be feared and something to be hoped for, something to quarrel about, something to contend for against revolutionary politicians, and, also scope for the visions of change still dear to the ardent and the imagina tive. It is possible that then, or long before then, the doubly-reformed House of Commons will have to undergo a third process of self-renovation, in the face of as many objections, and with other measures in the background as important as those now in the front, The various pro phecies that the institutions of the country would fall have not been fuled. One fault has pervaded all the Govern ments of the period, and that was, that - they have really not kept pace with the natural progress of the nation, with its necessities or its sentiments. In the sense of control there has been too much government ; in the higher sense of animating and guiding the life of the nation there has been too little. The same personages have figured in the front of the political warfare for the greater part of the period ; some, indeed, from first to last, and stand before us to-day as they were thirty-six years ago. The political caste is not deteriorated. The traditions are almost intact. It is still as difficult as ever for men of inferior metal or less calibre to force their way to the front. The statesman and the orator must still know everything, feel,for everbody, and combine genius with industry, spirit with information, zeal with wisdom, and sympathy with business qualities. It is still an advantage to him to be a duke, a millionaire, or at least a respectable character. Our rulers are still scholars and gentlemen. They must even profess, at least, to be Christians. Neither custom, nor faith, nor etiquette shews any signs of mitigation on these points. If anybody expects a dissolution of political manners and prejudices in the days that are at hand, he is expecting probably what his father expected before him, and the event may possibly prove him wiser than his father ; but it also may prove him to be no wiser, and that is the alternative which we think the more probable of the two. The Telegraph thinks that possibly enough the Chamber 'which is about to be summoned will not live quite so long as its predecessor. There are many contingencies in the fature which may make it short-lived and prefatory. It will appear in its own eyes but an imperfect result of the great chango which has been brought about ; and it may not be so tenacious of existence as that which is just " committed to memory." The Reform Act which calls the new Parliament into being is notoriously imperfect, and may be azucnded rather more largely than its nominal authors imagine or desire. The House which is to open its momentous discussion next month cannot contain so many representatives of the freshly enfranchiied class as ought to assist henceforward at the councils of the nation; and the topics to be handled almost directly are so large, and go so deep into the very foundations of our national life, that a positive necessity may arise for a fuller appeal to the consolidated electoral bodies. The Post says that amongst the many listeners who ex- perienced surprise at the various assertions of Mr. Disraeli at quildball, there can have been none whose emotion so completely approached utter amazement as Lord Stanley. RO chief, inspired by what he himself acknowledged as th‘4 " jollity" of the moment, boldly threw over and cast to the winds the once fondly-cherished theories of non intervention, and, giddy with the success of the Ampriaan negotiations, avowed himself prepared to redress the balance of power in Europe, to interfere directly, and to mediate between great States whe are masters of millions of armed men. Mr. Disraeli was coy and cautious about Cabinet secrets. This, however, was certainly not one, for Lord Stanley knows that no such intention exists on the part of the Cabinet, and that this project only sprang from the teeming brain of the. Prime Minister in the after dinner hour of the civic feast. The Prime Minister takes new ground entirely. He had at one time discovered that the empire of Great Britain was rather Asiatic than European, and that though our interference in the affairs of the world was inevitable, that our touching the squabbles of the Continent was to be deprecated and earnestly avoided. He now preaches a totally opposite doctrine. The Post anticipates evil results from this course. There is nothing more strange and singular in the career of our reckless Premier than the utter careless. ness with which, at certain moments, in order to make a party cry, he deals with facts at home and abroad. One day a Tory, the next a Radical. At one time for the sacred doctrine of non-intervention, at another for the direct functions of a mediator. In any and all cases above all, he is for self-glorification. The Standard believes it is quite possible that any attempt which Lord Stanley might make to bring about au understanding between France and Prussia would have, at the best, but an apparent success. No zeal and no ability can made good friends of people who have made up their minds to fight. But certainly Lord Stanley is the only Foreign Minister who could make such an attempt with the slightest chance of success. The French and Prussian Governments would laugh at such an attempt at mediation if it came from Lord Clarendon, and resent it if offered by Earl Russell. The continuance in office of the present Government is a pledge to England that she will not be involved in war, and that her influence for good on the Continent will be maintained; it is, we may even venture to say, a guarantee to Europe of the main tenance of peace. The Herald thinks that nothing Mr. Disraeli ever skid or did appears to have Annoyed or irritated his adversaries so much as his quiet allusion, at the Lord Mayor's dinner, to the probability that he would have the honour of being present on the 9th November, 1869, in the same capacity, and of once more returning thanks on behalf of her Majesty's Ministers. Mr. Disraeli's confidence is, how ever, likely to be somewhat better founded than the boastful anticipations of certain Radical organs— anticipations which, somehow, fail to calm the angry agitation of their spirits, or enable them to dispense with the weapons of systematic falsification and persistent calumny. All that we have learnt of late leads to corroborate the expectation of the Tory leader. Everywhere Conservatism is gaining ground. The Pro testant feeling of the country, dormant for want of provo cation, had been signally underrated by the little Radical Cabal assembled in Carlton Gardens in February last ; and the manner in which the Administration has been con ducted by the present Government, its successes at home and abroad, its restoration of the army and navy, it s eminent services in the cause of economic and efficient defence, command respect and confidence as effectually as the reckless depreciation of efficiency by Mr. Gladstone and the wild financial extravagances of Mr. Bright alienate and repel the trust of sensible and practical men. The Star reminds us that the 9th of November has passed, and Mr. Disraeli has disappointed those who imagined that he would make a declaration of policy at the Guildhall banquet. He was not entirely silent on the impending struggle, but his vagueness and depression produced an effect of even greater forlornness than absolute reticence could have created. Every reader of the proceedings must perceive that the Premier was in circumstances which appealed to the generosity even of his most uncompromising opponents ; and he did not forfeit their indulgence by any want of tact. It is quite certain that, speaking at such a moment, Mr. Disraeli would,if he could, have inspirited his followers by some glimpse, if not of policy, at least of hope that his strategy was not exhausted. As this was hopeless, he wisely limited himself to generalities; and the more those generalities were impregnated with the apprehension of coming defeat, the less temptation have we to criticise them with extreme severity. The Daily News holds it the scandal of the Liberal party that Toryism is taking neart, if not -actually con ratulating itself up on it s prospects, i n some o f t h e most ecidedly Liberal c ons tit uenc i es o f t h e United K i ngdom. is in vain that statesm en t o il i n t h e H ouse of Commons give political power to the people, if they allow it to slip from them as soon as it is received by indulging a separatist spirit, and frittering away their strength, and so giving the victory to their opponents. In some of our boroughs th e Liberals are, without knowing it, p rac ti ca ll y creating a minority clause, and there is great danger that the members for those constituencies will be returned by a party which will not poll a third of the total number of voters. We hope that Northampton is not about to place itself in this category, but at present there is very great danger of its doing so. The town is so thoroughly Liberal that, under ordinary circumstances, the Tories have no chance with out resorting to bribery, the temptation to which is not strong. It must be thirty years since a Tory member sat for the borough, and now, with an increased constituency, the Tories have a chance to which they have long been strangers. They owe it simply and solely to the fact that four candidates are appealing to the Liberal party for the two seats at its disposal. The Morning Summary, the new penny daily paper, has the following :—The battle on the eve of which we now stand is but the commencement of a series of engagements. Mr. Gladstone may think that he is near his goal, but not only have the liberties of the people and the rights of property a barrier in the House of Lords, which, like the Established Church, is the surest guarantee for tempered liberty and freedom from oppression, but, as Mr. Bell significantly observed, a yet stronger harrier exists in the form of " the attenuated fingers of a woman's hand," who, backed by the moral support of the great mass of the English people, will yet prevent the passing of measures whi c h mus t lead to anarchy and social confu sion. Conservatism has been frequently killed. Its dirge has been sung by kind friends times out of number. Its adherents, however, have an awkward knack of not knowing that they are beaten, and the very fact that, with a less minority than 100 in the first Reformed Parliament, they were in a few years in office with an unparalleled majority, alike gives us confidence for the future, and proves that real bond fide Conservatism—not the electro-plate article which some of its professors and invariably open enemies weuld pass off as g enu i ne —h as an undying hold, because of its inherent truth and liberality, on tki9 Mitiriiiic9n.Yidioni 9.f tal9 PeoPly of Englan d , MR. MILL .ON HIS RELIGION. Once again Mr. BIM has been interrogated as to his religious opinions. A canvasser, who has found it difficult to deny that he is an atheist, has written to ask him to do so for himself. "I suppose the persons who call me an atheist are the same who are impudently asserting that Mr. Gladstone is a Roman Catholic. I should think my friends in Westminster must by this time be aware that Tories, in election times, stick at nothing. An attempt was made to raise the same cry against me at my first election, and the defence which I did not choose to make for myself was made for me by several eminent dignitaries of the Church of England. At that time I declared my deliberate determination on principle not to answer any questions whatever respecting my religious creed, because I acknowledge no right in anyone to ask them, and becau e I owe it to future candidates and to the interest of future constituencies not to encourage a prac tice the effect of which would be that when no objection can be found to a candidate's character or political opinions, attempts would be made to extract from himself materials for raising a religious prejudice against him, which is often easiest stirred up against the best men. I think I shall act most rightly, and most in confor mity to my principles, by adhering to this declaration. If anyone again tells you that I am an atheist, I would advise you to ask bim how he knows, and in what page of my numerous writings he finds anything to bear nut the assertion. You will find he has nothing at all to say. if he talks about my subscription for Mr. Bradlaugh, he should be asked whether he thinks the working men of Northampton who have adopted Mr. Bradlaugh as their candidate, or the members of the Reform League who elected him one of their council, are all atheists." THE EXPIRING PARLIAMENT. In the three sessions of the late Parliame4, the House of Commons has sat on 360 days. In the session of 1866 it sat on 114 days, and the sittings occu pied 804 hours and 34 minutes, averaging seven hours and three minutes for each sitting. In the session of 1867 the House sat on 128 days, and the sittings occupied 1,043 hours and one minute, averaging eight hours and nine minutes for each sitting. In the session of 1867-68 the House sat on 118 days, and the sittings occupied 242 hours and twenty minutes, averaging seven hours and eight minutes for each sitting. In the three sessions of its existence, therefore, the House of Commons has sat within five minutes of 2,690 hours. Nearly 284 of the hours were after rt.idnight. The figures are taken from returns printed by order of the House, but they seem rather higher than the exact facts warrant ; for when, towards the end of a session, the House has met early and suspended its sitting for a couile of hours for dinner, the two hours appear to have been counted in, because by a parliamentary fiction the House was still sitting. The House of Commons divided 412 times ; 80 tines in 1866, 164 times in 18,7, 178 times in 1867-68. So great was the interest taken in the business of the House, that every E essi on had a division at which 600 members or more were in the House. On the 27th April, 1866, on the second reading of the Reform Bill of Earl Russell's Ministry, 636 members were present at tie division. On the 11th June, 1866, on the contest between rateable value and clear value, there were 621 members in the House. On the 12th of April, 1867, on the question whether personal rating should be a condition of the franchise, there were 604 members in the House. On the 3rd of April, 1868, on the first vote of the dis establishment of the Irish Church, there were 605 mem bers present ; and a majority of the whole House voted for disestablishment. On the 30th of April, in committee, there were 600 members present, and again a majority of the whole House voted for disestablishment. LAW AND POLICE. DIRECTORIES.—Vice-Chancellor Giffard has given judg ment in the case of Morris v. Ashbee, in which a bill was filed by the proprietor and publisher of the " Business Directory of London," for the purpose of restraining an infringement of his copyright by a directory published by the defendants, and called the " Mer chants' and Manufacturers' Pocket Directory of London." He said : " The simple upshot of the whole case is that plaintiff's directory was the source from which defendant's compiled very material parts of theirs, and they had no right so to resort to that source. They had no right to make the results arrived at by the plaintiff the foun dation for their work or any material part of it, and this they have done. It was suggested that there can be no damage; this is not so ; and for the reasons I have given there must be an injunction and decree with costs, with this proviso, that the injunction is not to extend to the advertisements which appeared at the end of or on separate pages of the plaintiff's work as distinct from the list of names in the body of it." MR. WAsoN.— In the Common Pleas, Mr. Hardwicke, the publisher of Piccadilly, has brought an action against Mr. Wason for £6O 15s. 3d., for printing and publishing his pamphlets. He obtained a verdict for the full amount. THE RouGns.—At the Marlborough-street Police court, two rough-looking young fellows have been charged before Mr. Mansfield with loitering in Saville-row, for the purpose of committing a felony. A policeman said he saw them busily engaged in trying the pockets of gentlemen, and, after watching them for three-quarters of an hour, took them into custody. Upon each of them was a mask used by thieves for dis guise. One of the two said he was not wearing the mask. It was in his pocket, and he only had it for a lark. The second stated that he only went out with the other young gentleman to see the illuminations. They were both re• manded for further inquiries into the truth of their taste for masquerading and sight-seeing. _ NOVEL MEDICAL TREATMENT.-At Westminster Police- court, the other day, a lady named Fiducia made the following singular application to Mr. Arnold, the sitting magistrate. Applicant said that a certain doctor, whose name she mentioned, had attended her m other and herself for two years, and she held receipts to prove it. On Saturday night, at twelve o'clock, her mother was dangerously ill, and she went to the doctor's house and rang the night bell, a top window was opened, and the contents of a water jug thrown over her. She went back, and, Ending her mother worse, returned to the doctor's house. H• refused to come and see her mother, who was getting worse, and he abused and menaced her, and in fact almost pushed her out of the house. She wanted a summons against the person who threw the water, but the magis trate could not help her unless she could ascertain the name. Mr. Gladstone is to address again the electors of South-West Lancashire. Ile is to give three speeches — one at Bootle, another at Garston, and a third at Waver tree. The Rev. Dr. Cooke, whose " deathbed" manifesto to tho " Presbyterians of Ireland" was published some time ago, has sinco recovered so fur that according to a Dublin paper, he expects once again to be able to meet his many friends. Dining the last few days a large number of conger eels have made their appearance in the Thames. One caught at Woolwich dockyard weighed 481 b., and another caught at the Arsenal weighed 361 b.; while a third, caught by a gentleman off North Woolwich, weighed 281 b. 10oz. The explorers on Monday were successful in recover ing five more of the bodies of those who perished in the Oaks Colliery in December, 1866. The bodies, although in an advanced stage of decomposition, were identified, with one except'on. A conditional order was granted on Monday in the DuLlin Court of Common Pleas, for a new trial in the case of Harris v. Begot, arising out of the bill transactions of Mr. Sidney, Q.C. The case has been already twice tried. On the first occasion the jury disagreed ; on the secoi.d a verdict was found against the bills. The application for a new trial by the plaintiff is grounded on alleged misdirec tion by the judge, Chief Justice Monahan. ELECTION OF A MAYOR BY HIS OWN CASTING VOTE.—The customary 9th of November meeting of the Hartlepool Corporation was held on Monday, when there was a full attendance, over which the mayor (Mr. G. W. Jaf frey) presided. It was proposed by Mr. Alderman Grovets, seconded by Mr, Councillor Neilson, that Mr. Councillor White be elected mayor for the ensuing year. As an amendment, Mr. Alderman Graham proposed, and Mr. Alderman Walker seconded, that Mr. G. W. Jaffrey he re-elected. On the votes being taken it was found they were equal, and the mayor, in the exercise of his privilege, gave the casting vote in his own favour. THE ADMIRALTY AND THE FORTHCOMING ELEC TION.—The following order was issued from the Admiralty on Tuesday :—" In consequence of the great increase in the number of voters under the provisions of the Representation of the People Act of last session, on the day of polling a whole holiday will be allowed to all voters in the naval and victualling establishments and naval hospitals, to enable them to record their 'totes, for which holiday no deduction will be made from their pay." THE DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT.—In the new Registration Act the following provision appears for shortening the assembling of the new Parliament : " If the next dissolution of Parliament takes place in the year 1868, the time to be appointed for the first meeting of the Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, after such dissolution, may be at any time not less thin tw nty eight days after the date of n h ploclam t on, y c; , av, or usage to the contrary notwithstanding."

Our contemporary again goes through the whole list of likely bishops, and reduces its selections to two—the Bishops of Ely and Lincoln. It is probable, says the Advertiser, that the decision is already arrived at, and " we do not write, therefore. in the slightest expectation of influencing the choice, even in the remotest degree, when we once more allude to the persons from whom a selection must be made." Is it possible that our contemporary imagines that it has already had a voice in the appointment of the Primate, and that her Majesty and Mr. Disraeli have painfully and studiously gone through a file of the Advertiser before settling the important question ? Our contemporary is somewhat flippant in dealing with certain bishops. The L . ...shop of Worcester is unacquainted with theology, and Lord Cairns would make a better bishop. The Bishop of Gloucester is a mere school master. The Bishops of Lincoln and Ely have the best chance; but, judging from the Premier's ante cedents, he may have another surprise in store for us. The suspense of the Advertiser and the publicans must be something awful. 4 CHESHIRE. WEST (:). Mr Tollemaebe Sir Philip Egerton CHICIIESTER (1). Mr J Abel Smith Lord H G Lennox CHIPPENHA.3I (1).

There is another subject to which legislators must ere long. have their attention drawn — the subject of the poor law. On this matter the Conservatives have claimed almost a " monopoly of wisdom," and they have boasted much of their measure last session. A vigorous poor-law management was indeed inaugurated under Mr. Hardy, and had he remained at the post there was every indication that we should not have had to find fault with our poor law system so continually. He began reforms which, if properly carried out, would have altered many an anomaly. That wretched arrangement by which the-parochial government fell into the hands of a few feeble squabbling local nobodies, was fast being counteracted in the metropolis by the vigour of the Executive Government. But things changed, and the right hon. gentleman was transferred to the Home Office. Since then the board seems to have fallen into its old routine. It wants "reforming altogether." The sub-inspectorships, which were to be so useful in finding out abuses in workhouses, have fallen into the patronage of the Earl of Devon. Of course he would appoint energetic business men, well known for their acquaintance with the subject. Nothing of the sort. Mr. Courtenay, one of those appointed, has the very special recom mendation that he is the nephew of the president ; and Mr. Fleming, the other, is the nephew of the permanent secretary. THE FENIANS IN PRISON. We have heard very much of the sufferings of Fenian prisoners, who, having been guilty of the highest offences against the Queen's Majesty and the laws of the land, expected•to be treated as State Dn soners, and obiec,ted to the indiffnittes to 'MA - Jule insn papers now state that when Captain Mackay's wife, after an enforced sepa ration of several months, was admitted to an inter view with her husband, the prison diet and prison rules had so affected his appearance that she hardly knew him again —he had grown so fat. Since the day when Chief Justice Whiteside sentenced Burke to be hung and quartered, the Fenians must confess that the law, so severe in theory, has been merciful in application. A BRAVE MAN. There are cases in which courage degenerates into bravado, and circumstances in which the bravest man may gracefully yield to an adverse fate. When Napoleon fled from Waterloo, honour did not call upon his followers to remain. Not so was it with Dr. Pankhurst in the Court of Common Pleas. The great Coleridge having fought the battle of the ladies in the face of imminent defeat, the judges unanimously decided against him. The appeal in " Chorlton v. Lings " ums dismissed ; then, as Mr. Coleridge declined to argue in "Chorlton v. Ressler," Dr. Pankhurst took the place of his leader. The judges, hitherto patient, were dismayed at the idea of hearing the arguments over again, and the Chief Justice incredulously asked the junior if he expected to convince them. Dr. Pankhurst replied that their judgment was inchoate, and might be altered during term, and that the case involved so vast a mass of materials that it was impossible to have them all from the mouth of one man. Then, amidst loud laughter in the court, the Chief Justice promptly shut the ambitious counsel up ; had he not done so, the argument might have lasted for the remainder of the term. Dr. Pank hurst has earned the everlasting gratitude of the ladies, who must at least confess that they have had fair play. EDUCATIONAL RETURNS. It is certainly most needful that just now the educational and the criminal returns should be correct. If we mistake not, we are entering upon a period in which both these subjects will engage attention. Education especially has been set down as the political battle-ground of the future ; and that annual panic which sets in about this time, and continues until after Christmas, rising or falling in its intensity as the. " rough " is daring or cowardly, will want something given to it inthe wayof either greater protection, more strict repression, or both. For legislation, informa tion is required. As to education, for instance, it has long been the cry that it is "ignorance produces crime." And the criminal returns attest it. But if we may believe the Pall Mall Gazette these returns cannot by any means be relied on. In analysing the imperfectly educated and the ignorant among the criminals at a very " black " assize, it was discovered that several of superior education were set down with an " N.;" that is to say, without education. Surely this is a matter on which something might be done to ensure accuracy. If these returns are so imperfect, where shall we look for anything like accuracy ? ANGLICAN OR CAMBRIAN ? A momentous question is, according to a con; - spondent of the Times, still undecided. Ile brings an important matter to the " bar of public opinion." Is Monmouth he asks —we imagine almost breathless—in England or Wales ? Popular opinion says in South Wales ; local usage says Wales. Either ignorance or good information, as the casemay be, says South Wales. But the geography books say Eng land. The boys at the public schools say England. Some letters say England. How shall the matter be decided ? Suppose a dispute were to arise—the want of decision on this point might cause a war. Dreadful thought. No wonder " H." writes asking that the queation raay be " aired a little," ..... 1 ;Wilt, .gOUTII (2): SHROPSR- Mr Jasper More. Gen P Herbert .. * Col Corbett * Sir H Edwa.rdes • SHAFTESBURY (1).

This is a handsome sheet, larger than the Times, I and printed on good paper, and with fine, clear • type. If any one desires to know what the influ ence of the Anglo-Saxon race is, he ought to send for such journals and read them from beginning to end—paying especial attention to the advertise ments. There are no books of travel which will convey more accurate impressions, or. give more correct ones, than the columns of advertisenients in the organs of distant colonies and communities. The first question presented to the mind is why this great paper, printed altogether out of the way of England and the English, should not only be in English, but English so thoroughly that there is a difficulty in believing that it is a Buenos Ayres paper. Even on its heading is the Royal Arms, be neath which the Queen Fire and Life Insurance Com pany; Liverpool and London, announces itself. The great Southern Railroad is ready to pay a dividend, declared in London June 17. Gumss'steut,BAS3' ale, FRENCH'S watches, COLLIS BROWN'S chlorodyne, , ,. GUILLOTT'S pens, ELI'S ntrtridge, the Worcester shire sauce, Smyrit's saddles, with addresses fami liar in London, are all advertized. There is a change, however, when we get into Buenos Ayres adver tisements, where many banks announce the terms on which they do business " for balances in our favour 12 per cent.ds charged"—" for balances in favour of customers 6 percent. is allowed," a margin calculated to make the mouths of London bankers water. Nor are the sober advertising columns of the Standard wantingiu fun. The " properest thing to do" is to take Pick-me-up at the Mineral Water estab lishment between 9 and 10 a.m., to be followed by a cock-tail between 11 and 12 ; after this is the "American free lunch" which does injustice to Ame rican fare, as it consists only of biscuits, bread and cheese, followed, however, by Tardecito bitters, to be taken between 3.and 5 p.m., when the evening lounge commences; conversation-room, free library, splendid piano, Viva el Presidente ! GOD Save the QUEEN ! Hail Columbia ! What fervent and wide-spreading loyalty. Although we thus glance at the Standard as a paper, its interest centres in the news it records from Para guay. We fear that LOPEZ has gone mad, otherwise he could not haVe acted his late cruel and suicidal part. He was still encamped with the bulk of his forces at Valeta, a few leagues below Ascuncion, and the belief was that on the advance of the Allies he would fall back into the interior, establishing his head-quarters at Cerro Leon, where the country abounds with provisions. His force is variously estimated, the best accounts placing it at from 8,000 to 10,060 men, well supplied with , ammunition.' Mr. NEUMAN, a leading German merchant in Ascuncion has . been in arrest for twelvemonths, and it is feared that all the foreigners will be swept into the interior on the advance of the Allies. The total nurnhcr of those speaking English in Paraguay is said to be 10.), while all the foreigners would exceed that by ten times. Mr. GOULD, the British Secretary of Legation, was ou board the Linnet in the Paraguayan River, trying to rescue some of the English from the power of LOPEZ, but it was feare 1 he would fail owing to the precautions against their escape taken by the Dictator. Mr. GOULD was• expected almost immediately at Buenos Ayres, when later particulars of the state of Paraguay would be made known. The event of the for:night had been the arrival of the United States gunboat Wasp from Paraguay, with • the American Minister-resident, Mr. WASHBURN, on board. Mr. WASABURN'6 notes would fill a whole column of the Limes, and they give very full but unsatisfactory intelligence of the proceedings of Marshal LOPEZ. One long ac count was addressed to the British Min ister at Buenos Ayres, the Hon. WILLIAM STUART, wherein it was stated that he (Mr. WAstmitN), being the only foreigner beyond the reach of LOPEZ who was acquainted with the situation of foreign residents iu Paraguay, had thought it necessary to inform the Representatives of the dangerous position of their countrymen that measures might be taken to extricate them if possible. Mr. WASHBURN then goes on to detail events since the 21st February last, from which it appears that the change iu LOPEZ dated from the passage of Hutuaita by the Brazilian ironclads, when the Paraguayan Government deemed it necessary to remove the c tpital to a village ten miles in the interior. Many of the acts of LOPEZ thenceforth appeared to be dictated by mad ness. Under the impression that foreigners were conspiring against him, he violated the rules of civilized intercourse. The Portuguese Consul had to fly to the American Legation, and was eventu ally arrested, .as were Messrs. Buss and MASTER MAN, attached to that Legation, and it was with great difficulty that Mr. WASHBURN himself was able to get away, leaving all belonging to the Ame rican Legation in charge of the Italian Consul. It is asserted that a letter addressed by Mr. BLISS to Mr. WASHBURN, and handed to him just before the Wasp weighed anchor, had been wrung from the writer by LOPEZ on the application of torture. What the full story is we cannot undertake to say; nor have we had time carefully to read Mr. WASH BURN'S despatches. Doubtless they will furnish a subject of close investigation at Washington; and while it appears to us that the American Minister acted as became a citizen of the great Republic, he seems at the same time to have brought down upon himself a storm of abase at Buenos Ayres. The Standard defends him, and we do not see the point on which he is attacked, unless it be in having left Ascuncion while his countrymen and other foreigners were in a position of such danger. In one of the letters addressed to the editors, LOPEZ is spoken of as a bloolthirsty coward, who never dared to expose himself during the war, and whose present course is dictated by drea 1. This is, how ever, opposed to what is known of the character of LOPEZ, as well as to probabilities, as no wholly un worthy man has ever commanded such devotion as shown for the Dictator by his people. The Stan dard, after asserting that LOPEZ had expressed his determination to fight to the very last, and the steadfastness of his soldiers and people to his cause, adds—" The terrible state of things in Paraguay can be realised by a close perusal of Mr. WASH BURN'S note, which speaks for itself. We deplore the fact that the news about the execution of BERGES and others is fully confirmed ; but it is a grave error to delude the public by misrepresenta tions as to the done-up state of Paraguay, &c. From all we can gather, LOPEZ still posiessa powerful elements of resistance ; and 'tis at best but a dream all that is said about an immediate wind-up of the war."—Anglo-American l imes.

We know now who are to be the President and Vice-President of the United States. We know, too, that Gnarl' will have a strong working majority in both Houses of Congress, although the Democratic gains in the late elections will reduce the over whelming Republican strength in the House. When the Fortieth Congress met the Republican Representatives numbered 144 against an opposition of 49, and the first effect of Reconstruction was to increase that majority,. already demoralizing in its magnitude. How GRANT will constitute his Cabi net can only as yet be matter of conjecture, and it is too early to enter on this field. of prophecy. The most interesting study, however is the man himself ; for through him we may get the clue to guide our anticipations. The characteristic trait which has mot forcibly impressed those who know him best, is his wonderful power of generalizing. There are no keen, elaborate arguinents—no splitting of hairs, which mark minds like GLADSTONE'S, but; a sim ple putting aside of all entangling complications to grasp the essence of the subject, and this is accom plished,apparently, without a mental effort. Where other men are harassed to death by the weighty rea sons why this should be done, and the equally weighty e reasons why it should not be done, GRANT sees in tuitively that the person is worrying himself al)Mat a side issue, where he is not only in a narrow lane, but on the wrong road. Seeing his way with won derful clearness and simplicity he points it out with an ease and conciseness astonishing to his bothered subordinates. Those who have encountered GRANT retain an indelible impressioa that his mind is curiously constituted, and thus he has influenced every one, however impetuous in character, how ever brilliant in record, and however egotistical. He does this, although a plain, simple, unpretend ing individual, with nothing of . the magnetism by which some men happily act on all within reach. There is scarcely a General in the American army who has not been true to GRANT, and even those who opposed him politically would in war elect, by acclamation, him to the supreme military command. The two points which most strike the common observer are his indefatigable power of work, which nothing appears able to weary out, and the simplicity of all he does seen - in his personal habits, style of conversation, and the whole turn of his mind. He seems to be a standard mea sure of common sense, which instantly reduces pre tentious humbug to its proper :proportion, and elevates questions of real interest to their correct height. He is indeed a good deal formed after the model of WELLINGTON ; but GRANT 15, we believe, a superior man, in as far as he is unshackled by . caste, with perhapS higher aims and a purer patriot ism. Having then this extraordinary power of seeing through a maze, there is little likelihood of his being entangled in such complications as those which tied up ANDREW JOHNSON, and he may be expected to carry Congress straight with him in a comprehensive reconstruction of the South. These subjects are now fully digested in G naNT's mind, and although he will not thrust his " policy " do sa the throat of the Legislature, his opinions will have an overwhelming inflaence on that body. This is the settlement which is to give permanent peace and pros perity to America, to which all others are subordi nate, and no one knows this better than the Presi dent elect. Who has proved more loyal ? indeed, he is incapable of betraying any trust. The Re publicans have placed him in power on a clearly defined platform, and knowing GRANT, and know ing the platform, his policy is indicated. As re gards his Cabinet, we may say that while in corn' ' mand of the Army he bec ame no t e d f or hi s " l uc ky' choice of generals, just as he became noted for his own "luck" —as NELSON was lucky, as MARL' BOROUGH was lucky, as NAPOLEON was lucky till he lost his head—which means, that GRANT has 3 wonderful perception of character, looking through men as if they were made of glass. If not possessed of this qualification it is impossible to be a great ruler ; but he who holds the power, and has the gift' may, though an idle, drunken spendthrift, benefit those over whom he exercises authority. Thus gifted; with a light not in the eyes of other men ; indefatigable in work ; renowned ; holding a place dean in: the hearts of his countrymen , if GRANT now fails to place his name next to that of WASHINGTON, where it will man i for all time, Americans will be disappointed. But he call scarcely fail, unless he perverts in a marvellous way his opportunities, to mak.: his term one of perma nent advantage to his country. In COLFAX th e nation has happily supplemented the Chief. 1-13 is not only thoroughly reliable, with commaadiag abilities, but with a tact which has enabled h i m to conduct a difficult duty, so as to canciliate alike poliiical friend and foe. He is universally popular , and of all four candidates he was the only one that no man could even invent anything against' GRANT'S coldness and want of manner will be re lieved by the warmth and‘ geniality of the Vice" President, and should it unfortunately happen that the higher post became vacant, the person whose destiny it would then be to fill it is, we believe, i ll every way qualified.
