Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of WALES paid to that ancient city their long-promised visit, and the reception they met with was most enthusiastic. The Royal visitors arrived at Glasgow from Edinburgh at twelve o'clock, and the arrangements made to receive them were of the most admirable kind. A distinguished party came to meet them on their arrival, and the distinguished guests with their suite, and those who joined them, formed into a procession, which pro ceeded direct to the place of ceremony, the City Fall. The crowds which lined the streets were great, and this was not to be wondered at, when it was remembered that from the neighbouring towns, and even from Edinburgh many came to do honour to the occasion. The National Anthem was performed on the great organ, and the Lord Provost delivered an impressive address, in which he assured their Royal Highnesses of the great satisfaction all ex perienced in receiving them, and also in knowing that the Prince had consented to become a freemen of the city. Many honoured and illustrious names have been put on the list of the city as freemen. Statesmen and warriors alike combined to do themselves honour while they imparted it to the roll of freemen, and the Prince has joined a goodly company of distinguished men while he accepted the offer of the citizens of the good old city. The Town Clerk having read the address to the Prince, his Royal Highness returned a most appropriate answer, in which he expressed the " cordial ac knowledgments" of himself and the Princess for the hearty welcome they had met with from the in habitants. To become the " freeman" of SD emi nent a corporation was a great satisfaction to him, and he appreciated it the more because it showed their loyalty to the QUEEN. The Princess having adopted this country as her own is the more grati fied at such displays of attachment so spontane ously offered. After the interesting ceremony was over the Prince and Princess proceeded to visit the new university buildings, when the great crowd assembled welcomed them with enthusiasm. It is curious to notice that the old University of Glasgow was founded in 1450 by a bull of Pope NICHOLAS V. Through this long lapse of time the university has flourished, and will maintain its reputation as a former seat of learning in a land distinguished for its culture. Among other services it has rendered was the protection it gave to JAMES WATT, by which means he triumphed over the prejudices that opposed his progress. The new buildings will be more adapted to the requirements of the day, though some will regret the old site being taken by the "Moloch " of this generation—the Railway Company. When the Royal party reached the buildings the honorary degree of LL.D. was conferred on the Prince of WALES and Prince JOILNI of Den mark. The Prince received an address from the Principal and Professors, in which they acknow ledge his kindness in consenting to lay the founda tion stone of the new buildings. Allusion was appropriately made to the circumstance of the University having twice changed its site, and three times renewed its building. A Parliamentary grant, coupled with most liberal subscriptions from their fellow•citizens, have enabled them to rear the building of the University on a scale befitting the magnitude of its objects. In referring to this inte resting statement the Prince said that it gave him the greatest satisfaction to become a member and graduate of the University, and to visit the city so dear to learning and to knowledge. The interest which the PRINCE CONSORT took in all that apper tained to learning renders a task like that imposed on the Prince of WALES yesterday still more attractive, and his Royal Highness took care to make duo mention of his sentiments in that respect. The educated men who have flourished in times past may, as the Prince observed, be fully equalled by the long train yet to be educated in the halls of this renowned university, which, if it changes its site, will not alter its character. The proceedings of the day were altogether most satis factory, and it is always an advantage when the members of our Royal Family are associated with subjects interesting to the people, and take part in those festivals or landmarks which become an en lightened and intelligent community in an age of progress. A special conference of the Central and "Ward Liberal electors' committees in the City of London was held yesterday, in Cannon-street, with the view of discussing the future course of the leading Libe rals. These gentlemen find themselves in a posi tion of some difficulty owing to the number of can didates in the field, and the restriction placed upon the electors' votes by the Reform Act. As the four sitting members all intend to come forward for re election, and as the Conservatives, emboldened by their recent successes, and by the change in the manner of voting, are sending three candidates to the hustings, the contest for the henour of repre senting our ancient corporation seems likely to be at least an animated one. The meeting yesterday was very largely attended, and the whole of the four members were present ; but, we are bound to confess, they did not appear to be very confident of the success of their endeavours. Considerable in dignation was expressed at the adoption of the minority clause by putting a limit on the number of votes, and the very first resolution proposed at the meeting embodied an emphatic protest against the citizens being " made the victims of a partial experiment." But three votes are not such a very poor allowance for a political victim, and the citi zens of London proper can still boast of a larger share in the representation than their suburban brethren. As for the injustice of experiments, how are reforms to be tried if every one objects to being the first to make them ? Such an argu ment is more suited to a Tory of the old school than to an advanced Liberal of the pre sent day ! The same objection might be raised c if the experiment of vote by Ballot were made, as has often been suggested in some of our great cities. It is not the way to secure really liberal and enlightened administration to allow party feel ing to override every other consideration, and to make the first question, What will the effect of a proposed reform be upon such a party ? So long as men do this their liberality is merely nominal, and they may as well be called Tories as Liberals. The minority clause is either right or wrong in itself, and should be looked upon as a matter of prin ciplequite independently of the considerationwhether or not it is likely to benefit the Conservatives. The great object, we have been told, of extending the franchise is to obtain the honest and unbiassed representation of the people at large. Each man should vote unfettered by prejudice, unchecked by undue pressure from employer, or landlord, or cus tomer, and uninfluenced by any external agency. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 9, 1868. But in their anxiety to retain the four seats for their own side, the Liberals of London are putting the question of party before every other, and call upon. the electors to vote blindfold. Mr. SAMUEL MOIILEY, who moved the first resolution yesterday, said that for his own part he should obey orders how to vote. "At Birmingham they had established a " Vote-as-you-Like Committee," that was, an elector would go up and say, " I will vote as you like." He " did not like to give up his power to choose, but he would do it to meet a great emer gency." The same course was advocated by other speakers, Mr. GASSIOT among them, who said that on this occasion they must throw over their feel ings in favour of individual candidates. Baron ROTIISCHILD himself declared that the one senti ment which ought to prevail amongst them now was union. He thought, indeed, that the electors ought to have the opportunity of voting for their favourite candidates; but both candidates and electors met that day under peculiar circum stances, both were in the hands of thofe who would manage the forthcoming elections, and would act as they were told. So, then, an irresponsible body is to be /elevated into an organ ised despotism, and candidates and constituents alike quietly abandon their rights and their obliga tions to it. The representation of the City of London is a grand thing to fight for. It has been hitherto held as an honour to be hardly won, and prized when won ; but, according to this new read ing of the representation of minorities, it is hence forth to be something very like the tradition of Old Sarum. No ballot is needed to protect the elector whom ignorance protects. lle can hardly do himself much mischief by declaring his intention, since he does not know himself how he is to vote until he is told ! " The Conservatives," says Mr. GOSCHEN, " felt that the nomination boroughs were in danger, and in order to counterbalance that they got the representation of minorities." In their proverbial political shortsightedness they did not foresee that by so doing they would turn the great cities into nomination boroughs on the other side ! That astounding fact will be now revealed to them ; at the same time that Mr. MILL, the great champion of the Liberals, learns that it was the Conserva tives who carried his favourite measure. Seriously speaking, we regret very much to find the Liberals of the City of London setting so bad an example to the community at large. The watchword of their battle is, it seems, to be party before principle, men before measures. The name of a particular school of politics is to outweigh every consideration of personal fitness of character, of reputation, of ability. The four gentlemen who now represent the City have no doubt dis charged their duties with credit to themselves and with satisfaction to their constituents ; but that is no reason why they should not go fearlessly to the poll, and let every man have a fair and equal chance. It matters very little in reality whether one or two Liberals, more or less, are re turned for the City. There is no fear in these days of retrograde legislation, and the liberties of the people are no longer in peril. But it matters very much at a time of change and experiment when fresh classes are being admitted to a voice in the government, when eager and aspiring men are push ing forward from the ranks to learn from those above them how best to discharge their new trust ; it matters very much that a high tone of political morality and public feeling should be preserved, that our Parliamentary system should be something more than a mere struggle of rival interests, of plotters and counter plotters, a mass of automata moved by a few crafty master hands. If the representation of the people is to be anything more than a farce, we must have no more of Vote-as-you-like Com- LATEST INTELLIGENCE (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) THE REVOLUTION IN SPAIN.

PARIS, THURSDAY, UCtObef i very decisive Article in the Patrie, encouraging Den mark to "persevere in its just demands for the fulfilment of the Treaty of Prague," has again excited the old war agitation. The Patric has, in fact, aided the injudicious North German Gazette to rekindle a flame of public excite ment which may prove very troublesome to Prussia. The Treaty of Prague is one of the few questions on which the Emperor, his Ministers, and a great portion, at least, of his people are agreed. The doings of Prussia in 1866 were too painful to French pride to be again repeated with impunity. There can be little doubt—not to say there is a desire to go to war on behalf of the treaty—that the claims of Denmark are strongly supported here. As Prussia can have no interest in stirring up excitement in France, it is difficult to see why the speecliof King Christian was allowed to provoke comments. The policy of Prussia of late has evidently been to gain time and protract the settlement of the Danish claims. Why, then, attract attention to the matter, unless there is anythingto be gained by it ? The speech of King Christian might have passed muster but for the comments of the North German Gazette. The result of the interference has been that the Patrie, a semi-official paper, openly states that Denmark need not fear for want of support in this dispute. "Decided, on our part, to maintain the Treaty of Prague, we are deter mined not to see it violated to our detriment." This sen timent is pretty generally echoed by the press. Some journals also significantly reproduce the suggestion of the Times, that the King's speech was a measure previously concerted between the French and Danish Governments. A fact which shews the influence wielded by Prussia amongst the South German States is related by one of the western papers. Last year, when France invited the European Governments to take part in the Congress to settle the Roman question, the Grand Duke of Hesse Darmstadt made haste to accept the proposal without consulting Prussia. This step greatly offended the Government of Berlin ; so much so; that Hesse Darmstadt has been " put down." This year, when Switzerland has issued an invitation to an International Health Congress, the Grand Duke meekly responds that he shall follow the decision of the North German Confederation as a whole. The Temps has received a communiqué denying that the French Government wishes to forbid the sale of news papers in France. Since the first news of the revolution but one paper has been seized. It is stated that a cousin of Garibaldi, Antonio Gari baldi by name, will contest the department of tbe Alpes- Maritimes at the next election for the Corps Ldgislatif. It is known that Garibaldi has great influence in that district. The news of the revolution was welcomed with extraor dinary manifestations of joy in Italy. In no other country has the intelligence been received with such satisfaction. The Constitutionnel has published an article which is gene rally accepted as a species of feeler. It says that France has no intention of interfering in the affairs of Spain, but that the events now passing in that country cannot be viewed with indifference. Passing in review all the leaders of the revolution, the Constitutionnet concludes that they are all too radical. It protests against the suppression of the permanent army and of the connection between Church and State—both of which figure in the revolu- tionary programme. The Paris correspondent of the Standard tells a curious story, in which he is inclined to put some faith. From a "well-informed quarter" he learns that when death cut him off so suddenly in the midst of his career, Count Walewski was hastening back to Paris in order to assume the post of Foreign Secretary in the place of the Marquis de Moustier. Such a course, says the writer, would be by no means without precedent. " The Emperor does not allow the prospect of removal to hang long over his Ministers, and a successor has generally had his commis sion in his pocket before the occupant of office is informed that ' his resignation is accepted.' I repeat that this story is vouched for on authority which I cannot but respect, improbable as it must seem to English readers, who don't know the way in which ' they manage these things in France.'" The reports that the Marquis de Moustier will not remain long at the head of the Foreign Department are numerous, though there is little agreement as to his successor. General Fleury is mentioned, but M. Drouyn de Lhuys receives more support. M. Pinard is to be removed, says speculation, from the Ministry of the Interior to the department of Justice, whilst M. Ernest Leroy, the Prefect of the Loire Infe rieur, a man of great abilities, is to take the Home portfolio. This arrangement is not a new one. The correspondent of the Post says the Emperor is in great difficulties. Both domestic and foreign events are said to have lately made a' great impression on his mind, and he is represented as feeling the necessity of what is called " doing something." His embarrassment does not appear to be lessened by his advisers. M. Bouher knows not what advice to give his Majesty, and Marshal Niel believes in nothing but military government. The correspondent is inclined to think that the solution of the problem must be the granting of Ministerial responsibility and real constitutional freedom. The issue of the Italian Tobacco Loan has brought forth many complaints respecting the dealings of the Govern ment with the Italian Irrigation Bonds. "A Victim," along with many others, says that, whilst the: Florence Govern ment is beginning to pay its guaranteed interest on other obligations of the Canal Olt mpany, in the case of the sep tennial bonds it is endeavouring to repudiate its engage ments. When the Cavour Canal was projected, the Government sold to the company its own canals at the price of £812,000. The company could not, however, raise the money, and it was obtained only on loan in England by a decree in virtue of which the Italian Government under took to guarantee the interest from the time when the canal was open to traffic until the period assigned for the repayment of the loan—seven years. Now, the canal has been pronounced in exercise, the company cannot pay, and the British bondholders have claimed their interest from the Government, which refuses to pay it. "A Victim" presumes that the cost and annoyance of a lawsuit is the only remedy. 'Other signs, however, do not point to so pacific a result. The Danish question is notoriously a favourite topic in France, where the Treaty of Prague is clung to as the last chance of upholding the influence of the country abroad. The recent speech of the King of Denmark is supported by all the Paris journals; whilst the half angry comments of the .North German Gazette are proportionately vindicated. The Opinion Publique asserts that the French Ministry fully support the just demands of Denmark. Further, the Epoque feels itself competent to state that Denmark is about to address a memorial to all the Powers who signed the Treaty of 1852, asking them to bring about the fulfil ment of the Treaty of Prague by Prussia. The Treaty of 1852 was signed at London by the Great Powers, and made over to Prince Christian the succession to the Crown of Denmark, the country then including Schleswig and Holstein. The action instituted by Messrs. Cushing, or iNew York, against Mr. Laird, of Birkenhead, for com pensation for the loss of their vessel, is brought on the ground of " spoliation," not on account of a breach of the neutrality laws. It is declared that the Alabama was fitted out in violation of the laws of Great Britain, and that therefore the owners and builders are liable for damage sustained by her. On this point the New York Tribune remarks : " A precedent for the claims of our citizens for damages sustained by the Alabama and other Confederate privateers was esta blished subsequent to the war of 1812. Before the com mencement of that war, while England and France were engaged in hostilities against each other and we were at peace with both nations, French privateers were fitted out in the port of Baltimore—then as celebrated for its fast clippers as the Clyde is now, and was during the war, for its fast blockade-runners—to prey upon British commerce. British merchants presented claims through their Government, at the close of the war in 1812, for in demnification for their losses from the depredations of these privateers, and these claims were allowed by our Government to be just, and were satisfied." Of course, the settlement of the Alabama claims by the English Go. vernment will stop the action. The Liberal party in the City of London have held a conference in order to counteract the "minority" clause so far as their constituency is concerned. At present the City is represented by four Liberals, all of whom offer themselves for re-election. They are opposed by three Conservatives. Under the new Reform Bill, by which electors can vote for only three candidates out of four, it is pretty certain that one of the four would be a Conservative, unless a special arrangement were made to prevent that result. It was to devise such an arrangement that the meeting referred to was held. It was presided over by Sir B: Phillips, ex-Lord Mayor, and addressed by Mr. Samuel Morley, the four members for the City, Mr. Locke, M.P., and Mr. Ayrton, M.P. Mr. Goschen was especially vehement in denouncing the minority clause, and declared it must be repealed. Moreover, he thought City Conservatives had no reason to com plain, inasmuch as their most eminent men, Mr. Baring, Mr. Hubbard, and Mr. Barnett, were in Parlia ment, although sitting for other constituencies. Even tually it was resolved to adopt the same plan as has already been adopted at Birmingham, where "vote-as-you-like" committees have been established, the members whereof pledge themselves to sink their personal preferences and vote as they are told.

Bea disturbance. raittees.r Mr. COOPE, the Conservative candidate, met a large number of constituents last night in the Bow road, at the Riding School. He was well received, and made some impressive remarks. He stated that he had taken every opportunity of " eliciting the feelings of the electors," and the result of his canvass, especially among the working class, was more satisfactory than he had anticipated at the outset. Ia that borough, as in many others, they could see that the Liberal party was divided against itself, whereas in the camp of the Conser vatives there were no waverers or defaulters. This account of Mr. COOPE'S is an accurate one, and it would be well if the Liberals would take it to heart. Fas est ab hoste doceri is well known, and in this instance of dividing votes and losing interest the party may well apply it. It is a disgrace, in a national sense, as well as a loss in a party one, that so much selfishness should be displayed in the matter of getting seats, quite putting aside the interests of the cause they profess to have at heart in the prosecution of one-sided objects. In enume rating the various claims of the present Adminis tration to the confidence of the country, Mr. COOPE mentioned the suffrage which had been given to the working classes, and the efficiency of the national defences, the Abyssinian Expedition, and now the adjustment of our differences with America. The vacancies to appointments in the Church and law have been most ably filled up, and the last nomina tion, that of the Bishopric of Peterborough, he truly styled as in a " special degree creditable to the Administration and acceptable to the country." In the course of his speech Mr. COOPE very properly denounced the system of bribery and intimidation, and declared his intention always to be plain and straightforward when he spoke to the working classes. To tell them the truth is certainly better than to flatter and be wilder them with promises of what they can do never to be realised, or diatribes against their supe riors in rank, which contain more abuse than argu ment, and will not bear a close investigation. In passing a comment upon some strictures of Mr. AYRTON'S, Mr. COOPE appropriately put in an ex planation of that gentleman's first appearance among them. Some years ago, when the present candidate was presiding over a meeting of Germans for charitable purposes, an , unknown gentleman came up and asked his permission to address the meeting for a " few minutes." These lengthened into three-quarters of an hour, and the Germans, not understanding a word, cheered him most lustily. Mr. COOPE'S recollection of the maiden speech will amuse those who are now well acquainted with the style in Parliament. "Never in his life did he listen to such a flow of mere words, such a marvellous volubility—he was almost going to say such an un interrupted torrent of expressions." SALE OF WAR DEPARTMENT LAND AT SHEER NESS. —The freehold piece of land situate near the sea, at Sheerness, on the road to Chesney-road and adjoining Alms and Trinity roads, having been put up to tender by the Secretary of State for the War Department, has been bought by the United Land Company (Limited), co-oper ating with the Conservative Land Society. Tho land will bo at once converted into streets, the demand for houses at Sheerness being on the increase every year, the locality finding favour with the public as a watering-place. IRISH TENANT RIGIIT.—The Government Com mission appointed to investigate the relations between landlord and tenant in Ireland will commence its sittings in a few days. It is intended that the report shall be an exhaustive ono, and that all details respecting the tenure of laud in Ireland shall be set forth. The Commissioners will be able to place their report before the new Parlia meat very early in the first Session. — Irish Mail. HUNGARY. PESTH, Oct. 8.

HANOVER-SQUARE this month contains a brilliant valse, " Felice," from the pen of its talented editor, Lindsay Sloper ; and had this been the only piece in the current number its brilliant and exquisite melody would have rendered the October part re markable. But, in addition to this delightful waltz, we have another fine composition from the accom plished Kuhe, entitled " Shadows and Sunlight," a worthy companion piece to the editor's waltz, and the two sparkling compositions appearing in one number renders it the most attractive that has yet been published of this high-class musical magazine. BOND-STREET.—The October number is one of more than ordinary excellence, and contains no less than five pieces of new and original music. The ballad, "Passing a way into Sunligh t " i s swee t an d pretty, and Hopkins's Lancers Quadrille, one of the best sets that has yet appeared. Mr. Taylor's song, " Beautiful Spirit" will secure numerous admirers, and Mr. C. Coote's Galop, "After Dark," is, per haps, one of his best productions. No. 10 well sustains the high reputation and extensive patron age which this very lively and popular magazine has secured amongst the numberless admirers of light and pretty music. EXETER HALL.—The most striking piece this month is contributed by. Mr. Kuhe—a selection from Mendelssohn's " St. Paul."—and, although it requires some considerable talent to do it justice, yet it will do that which a great quantity of music does not, viz., repay any amount of trouble bestowed upon it. To a sound and skilful performer the piece is all that can be desired. Mr. John Barnett has composed some pretty music to a song, " Thou art the way," and Mr. J. C. BroWn has set a very old hymn to a new and beautiful melody. Messrs. Robert Cocks and Co., of New Burling ton-street, have published two new national songs, that doubtless will take a prominent place amongst the favourite ballads of the country. One is en titled " The Gallant Tars of England," the other " The Soldiers of our Land," and we can say with perfect truth that it is some years aim two better songs were published. While being more than ordinarily appropriate for public festivities they will always be heard with the greatest delight and plea sure both at the concert room and the family circle, an honour very few songs attain. Messrs. Boosey have just published a quantity of new music, both vocal and instrumental, of more than ordinary merit. To the proficient pianeste we recommend the " Chant du Soir," and " Rose et Papillon," by Boscovitz, and " Other Days," by Gollmick, and the light and general players will find " The Maiden Hair Valse," a very telling piece. A ballad, entitled " Blue Eyes," is very pretty. Claribel's last new song, " When I was young and fair," will fully maintain her reputation. We have also received the first number of The Sacred Musical Cabinet, which bids fair to be a suc cess ; but the wonder of all wonders is Mozart's opera, " Don Juan," arranged for pianoforte solo for one shilling ! Messrs. Metzler's latest novelty is a very telling song, entitled " The dear Girls of England," and fortunate, indeed, will be the vocalist, both in public and private, who selects it for execution ; an encore or a kiss for it will be certain. ".Ring on, Sweet Angelus," by Gounod, arranged as a duet, will bergenerally welcome ; and the merry piece by Parker, " The Fun of the Fair," certainly ought to secure a very extended circulation, as it is of more than ordinary goodness. zaz WEATHER TABLE.-THIS DA Y METEOROLOGICAL REPORTS.'

Barometrical pressure has decreased at all stations since last even ing: on the W. coast of Ireland the change since yesterday morning has been nearly o'4in. The difference in pressures, in aN. and S. direction, is nearly the same as it was yesterday. Temperature in Great Britain is considerably higher. A S.W. gale set in last night on the Irish coast, and it is now blowing at Holyhead : it ceased at Roche's Point early this morning. A fresh south-westerly wind still prevails generally. Rain has fallen generally, except in the B. of England. The weather is cloudy or overcast. Everyone, of whatever politics he may be, will regret to learn that Sir William Heatbcote has decided to retire from the representation of Oxford University. 'There was no member more respected on either side of the House. In this he was a worthy successor to the late Sir Robert Inglis ; but though a decided Conservative, he did not possess Sir Robert's bigotry. Sir William was born in 1801, was educated at Winchester and Oriel College, Oxford, was first-class in classics 1821, became Fellow of All Souls, and graduated B.C.L. in 1824, D.C.L. in 1830. He sat for Hants from 1826 till 1832, and for the northern division from 1837 till 1849, when he accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. He was first elected for his university in 1854, on' the death of Sir R. Inglis, and has been at the head of the poll in subsequent elections. He will always be remembered by Churchmen as the friend and patron of Keble, whom he presented to the living of Hursley. Sir William has been a tolerably frequent speaker in Parliament, especially on university subjects. He of course has always opposed changes in the univer sity, especially Mr. Coleridge's Tests Abolition Bill. He retires from Parliament because at his age (sixty-seven) he finds the late hours trying to his health. No successor has yet been named. The death of Sir John B. W. Smythe Gardiner, of Roche Court, Hampshire, and Whalley Court, Lancashire, Bart., is announced. He was born in 1814, succeeded to the title in 1851, married when he was 47 years old, and leaves an only child, a daughter. He was formerly in the navy. Mr. Montagu Burrows, Chichel Professor of Modern History at Oxford, married his sister. As Sir John leaves neither son nor brother the baronetcy becomes extinct. He was the fourth baronet. Notwithstanding the labours of John Howard and Elizabeth Fry, notwithstanding the improved state of our prisons, the high civilisation to which we have attained, and that regard for humanity of which so much boast is made, torture does not seem to have been altogether banished from our gaols. An inquest held by Mr. Payne at the Queen's Bench Military Prison discloses a system of refined torture which would be considered severe for the Inquisition. The deceased was a soldier and an inmate of the prison. He had been committed for striking his corporal with his clenched fist. He appears to have been a most violent man, the prison authorities had great difficulty in managing him, and altogether his character was not that which in itself would move one to pity. But the punishment inflicted for insubordination is nothing less than disgraceful. He was put upon bread and water. This might be needful. But bread was only served out once a day, at twelve o'clock. Having had this, the prisoner had to wait till twelve o'clock next day for another meal. In other words, punishment is inflicted which would be likely to impair a man's constitution for life. But this is not all. At breakfast-time—that is to say, when the prisoner had been some twenty hours without food—he was taken down into the breakfast room to see his fellow-priioners eat ; and after breakfast marched back again, without having his hunger satisfied. This must have been almost unbearable. No wonder he wished himself dead. And is it row strange that when he found a rope in his cell he used it for putting an end to his existence ? That nourishment which is indispensable to keep up the power of resistance was wanting. What wonder, then, that when the temptation came he gave way to it. The position of the gaolers on the question, too, is peculiar. They were unanimous in their opinion —not that the man was driven to it, but that he tried hanging (without intending to kill himself) as a means of exciting sympathy. Epicures have been complaining bitterly of late, and with reason ; for have not oysters, within a few years, become something like 500 per cent. dearer than they were? And has it not become more than a possibility that if something be not done there will soon be no oysters, even though the price were yet again doubled? But the gourmet may take courage. Something is about to be done, A royal commission that antidote for every thing bad, from the abuses of the Irish Church to dear oysters—has been issued, and the commissioners have set off for the Continent to inquire into their systems of pre serving the favourite molusc. It is to be hoped that they will inaugurate some plan by which oysters, cheap and plentiful, may be preserved to us. Good news for those who abominate racing. The race, according to one of its own prophets, is fast losing its hold over the hearts of the people of England. rt, has probably gone over to France. Says the racing correspondent of the Pall• Mall Gazette : " Racing has certainly lost some. thing of its interest for the public during the past year. As one great race after another is run it is obvious that the attend ance is smaller in comparison with that in former seasons. The betting on the Cesarewitch has been extremely heavy ; nearly every horse which accepted was backed, but a great part of the betting was done by people who know very little about the matter beyond what they see in the news papers, and who, perhaps, never look at a racehorse from one year's end to another. And this shews that the love of the sport for its own sake has extremely little to do with the attention given to it. The Cesarewitch used to attract large numbers from all parts, and the Heath was then almost as full as on the Two Thousand day. Now, notwithstanding the convenience afforded by fast trains, there were comparatively few present." Has the fiasco connected with Lady Elizabeth had anything to do with this ? -- - SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—A shocking accident is re ported from Cork. Three soldiers belonging to the 81st Regiment, who had been assisting in raising fortifications at Camden Fort, were engaged in withdrawing a charge of powder, the fuse of which had apparently failed to ignite, when the charge exploded. One of the men, named Cruice, was killed almost instantaneously; the other two were badly injured. THE CLYDE PORTS.—The amount of Customs' revenue collected at Glasgow in September was £132,843, as compared with £101,911 in September, 1867, and £79,787 in September, 1866. For the quarter ending September 30th this year the Glasgow Customs' duties produced £332,940, as compared with £298,492 in the cor responding quarter of 1867, and £244,355 in the corre sponding quarter of 1866. The amount of Customs' re venue collected at Greenock in September was £172,783, as compared with £122,320 in September, 1867, and £139,378 in September, 1866. For the quarter ending 30th September this year the Greenock Customs' duties pro duced £399,484, as compared w i t h £368,404 in the corre sponding quarter of 1867, and £385,535 in the correspond ing quarter of 18E6. THE GREAT EASTERN. —The Great Eastern steam. ship arrived at Sheerness at half-past 4 yesterday after noon from Liverpool, to take on board the French Atlantic cable. The ship came into the harbour very slowly, only using her screw. The dockyard riggers and the Govern ment tugs belonging to Sheerness Dockyard safely moored her at her original position in the Medway, about two miles from Sheerness pier. Crowds of people assembled on the beach and pier to witness her arrival. Navigating Lieutenant Brockman, of her Majesty's steam yacht Wildfire, accompanied the vessel from Liverpool to Sheer ness. A court-martial was held yesterday on board the Victory, flagship of the Commander-in-Chief at Portsmouth, Admiral Sir T. S. Pasley, for the trial of James alias George Hodge, private Royal Marine Light Infantry, serving on board her Majesty's ship Duncan, oa a charge of insubordination, which was fully proved, and the prisoner was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment with hard labour in Win chester gaol, and at the expiration of the term be dismissed her Majesty's service. The court was under the presidency of Captain T. B. Seymour, Aide-de-Camp to the Queen, and captain of her Majesty's ship Victory. 30'18 30'17 29'94 29'925. 301113. c.o. r.c. C. r.

Sri;,---tathe Globe of this evening there appears!, in a pror rnent position, a letter signed " under the heading, "Gladstone-Manning Alliance. In this remarkable document the writer affirms that the secret of the alleged alliance between Mr' Gladstone and Archbishop Manning lies in th e fact that his Grace is one of the godfathers of gr• Gladstone's eldest son, the member for Chester. Perhaps the writer in the Globe, or the Editor, will inform the world how many godfathers claim spiritual relationship with Mr. Gladstone, jull• Hitherto we have been taught to believe that one was sufficient. Perhaps the writer may also be able to show wil it is to be considered a reproach to Mr. Gladstone , sen., that more than twenty years ago he asked Dr. Manning, at that time a good Protestant arch' deacon, to stand godfather to his son.—l am, Sir , faithfully yours, VISTA.

(Signed) ROULAND• IRaYMASTERS' QUARTERLY MEETING' BIRMINGHAM, Thursday Evening. The second meeting of the ironmasters of 04 district was held in the Town-hall here this after noon. There was a very large attendance, and t he ordinary business was diversified by electioneering+ no less than seven candidates being proposed in t he hall —namely, the four for West Staffordshire ; Hartley, for the eastern division of that county' Mr. Amphlett, for East Worcestershire ; and the Liberal candidate for Wednesbury. As at Wolverhampton the tone was a great jul" provement on recent quarter-days. There has been so considerable a quan tity o f fi n i s h e d i ro n sol d within the last fortnight that the contracts giv en out to-day were not large, but a feeling of satin' faction was expressed at the i m p r o v i ng p os ition 0 ` the trade. Despondency has given place to con 0" dente, and the usual class of undersellers ask fron t 2s. 6d. to ss. per ton more than they did three months ago. The Shropshire trade was represented, and tba of North Staffordshire. There were also represeh" tatives present from the iron-producing firms in t he north, and from the shipping houses of London , Liverpool, and Bristol. As regards the shipPe re , there is more disposition to do business, but, Ai though they are not absolutely full of orders at th e most favoured works, in no instance was there Of pressure to obtain them. Shropshire pig realised £4 55., that being th e price of last quarter-day. A good make of Sts f" fordshire pig, all-mine, realises £3 ss. to £3 120. 63 ' per ton. itt In the course of the day a meeting was hel the Queen's Hotel, convened by the secretary of the Noii-i:ern Iron Trade, for the purpose of nonsidef: ing the feagbility of establishing an Iron and Ste el Institute. Mr. W. Menelaus presided. Represel l : tatives from all the ialn-making districts of Gre 3 ! Britain were present. The following resolutions were passed : 4 , That, in the opinion of representatives of t h .: various iron-making districts of Great Britain,it 1 desirable to take steps for the establishment of 311 Iron and Steel Institute for the discussion of pre c tical scientific questions connected with the man e " facture of iron and steel ; secondly, that it is desir able to base the rules of the proposed institutil upon the general principal adopted by the Civil 6 1 Mechanical Engineers and kindred societies, rigid l y excluding all questions connected with wages 311 trade regulations." It was decided that the head-quarters of the in stitute should be in London ; the provisional con." mittee was considerably extended, and it was agre ed that another meeting should be held in London W; wards the end of November.
