Brigandage in Rome and Italy is encouraged not only by the difficulty of lodging the marauders in prison, but also by the difficulty of keeping them there. The prisons are so badly constructed and watched that their inmates escape in large numbers. Fourteen got clear off from Avezzano, near Naples, the other day. GARIBALDI. Most accounts from Italy represent the Party of Action in no flourishing condition, but the correspondent of the Libert4 -is of a different opinion. He says that for some time past a great outbreak had been prepared for the anni ycrsary of Mentana. Garibaldi had been persuaded by Mazzini that the societies of workmen, who are a sort of carbonari, were ready. But the Government got wind of the movement, and sent a diplomatist to Garibaldi. This messenger represented that things were going on favourably for Italy, that nego tiations were progressing, that every day brought the Italian nation nearer to the capital. Garibaldi again suffered himself to be persuaded. Mazzini, angry at this result, complained that he had been played false, and finally a great democratic meeting was convened at Genoa. "I have no money to go to work with," urged Garibaldi. " Take the money in the coffers of the societies," replied Mazzini. But it became a question whether this money was to be applied to such a purpose ; delay ensued, and the game fell through. The correspon dent of the Liberte still holds, however, that the want of money alone prevents another attemnt on Rome. TEE PRINCE OP 'WALES. The Daily News cautions the Ritualists not to think they have got a trump card in the Heir Appa rent. They are reminded that his Royal Highness not long ago braved the violence of a storm to go to a kirk at Dunrobin and hear Dr. Cumming preach. We may add, that it is not the extreme Ritualists who are favoured by the Prince and Princess. Th e y appear to visit those churches which are mo r e remarkable for the musical excellence of their ser vices than for extravagance of ritual. It is not won derful that their Royal Highnesses should get tired of the Chapel Royal and the Queen's private chapels. ELECTION RIOTS. Such as "prove their doctrines orthodox, by apostolic blows and knocks," seem to gain strength just now. At Belfast (we are unfortunately com pelled to write) the " usual" riot took place. At Blackburn and Bolton the two parties tried to decide the controversy by an appeal to infallible bludgeons. The elation of the Bristol Liberals was so great at their victory that they wished to manifest to the Conservatives how extremely liberal they were, and they forthwith attacked the committee-rooms and public-houses shewing blue colours. At Stafford, too, some adherents of the Liberal party, are reported to have disgraced themselves by violence. Things got so bad atNewport that the military had to charge the mob repeatedly. One woman was killed and several dangerously wounded. At Tipton, Wakefield, and Woodstock two scenes took place which would have been mild for an Irish election fifty years ago. The new Parliament will be fully justified in dis franchising those boroughs where the elections have been conducted with extreme violence and disorder. Blackburn and such places ought to keep company with Great Yarmouth and St. Albans. Clearly, politics in this quarter are only a source of mischief. The news from Ireland is terrible. A Captain King has been shot dead in the streets, and three gentle men have been badly beaten. Whatever the result of the verdict of the people taken under the enlarged franchise the manner of obtaining that verdict will in such cases be attended with everlasting disgrace. A SEAT WANTED. Many good men will be left out in the cold when the House meets. The Premier will be without his law officers, and on the Opposition bench Mr. Milner Gibson will be missed. Men of all parties must regret that the services of statesmen are thus lost to the country. Perhaps the loss of Mr. Massey is as much to lie deplored as any. He has been chairman of committees, and since that time has made the acquaintance of Indian finance, Before long a seat may be found for him ; but the present state of things chews that the return of some of the best men of a party is risked by send ing them to fight hard battles, while candidates of moderate ability and sometimes immoderate incom petency are sent to Parliament by the simple process a an introduction to a constituency by a lord-lieu tenant or other local magnate. The Liverpool electors have not forgotten the condescension of the handsome Lord Sandon, when he kissed the fish wife, and his mode of canvass is fully justified by the result. SIMEON'S TRUSTEES AND THE ELECTIONS. There are three towns in England which, so far as ecclesiastical purposes are concerned, are in the hands of Simeon's trustees. These are Bath, Cheltenham, and Colchester. In all of these the Low Church clergy have great influence ; and in Bath, Mr. Hobart Seymour left the Liberal , party, whom he usually supports, in order to join with the other clergy in opposing Mr. Gladstone's Irish Church policy. Nevertheless, in each instance, not only did the Conservatives fail to hold their own, but actmilly lost the seat which they formerly held. The three boroughs used to return three Conservatives and two Liberals, and they now return five Liberals, MEMBERS RETTJRNED. The poor Reform League is beaten everywhere. Its very head is without a seat. Its working men are literally nowhere in the polling returns ; so that after all its trouble to get a Reform Bill, it is not to be rewarded. Even pulling down the park railings has failed to win patronage for its candidates. This shews very clearly that those who anticipated that the new House of Commons would consist of a different class from its prede cessors have been grievously mistaken. The " great governing families." as they were called, are not, even under household suffrage, without influence. The ereat popular leader himself had a word to say THE WORKING MEN'S CANDIDATE FOIL STOKE. There is a curious story about Mr. Hartwell, the retiring candidate for Stoke. He attributed his retirement to the fact that he had not money to go to the poll with. Further, it was a well-known fact he had not votes. But even lower reasons than this are suggested to the uncharitable who read the report of Mr. Hartwell's application to Alderman Healey, at the Guildhall. Mr. Hartwell told at first a very plausible story, from which nothing to his detriment could be inferred ; but without sug gesting any motive for the offence against him of which ho was complqining. But the alderman told him he was mystifying something, and he had not told the whole matter. Mr. Hartwell then was obliged to raise the curtain a little higher; so he gave the following story to the world. He was a candi date for the borough of Stoke-upon-Trent, and at the last moment he found that he could not pay the exi , enses of a contest. He then received an offer of £2BO to pay his expenses if he would retire. That sum was the estimated amount of the expenses he had incurred in London and at Stoke. He did not, of course, ask anything for him self, but only for the expenses of the election. There was a joint agreement, of about twenty lines, which stipulated that they were_ to pay the money to him, and they had not done so. They had received it, and although he had waited four hours at his office for them, they never came back. The story still has much of the improbable about it. But if these are our " working men's candidates," the less of them the better. THE RESIDUUM. Although politicians of all grades have found it advisable to express their supreme confidence in the independence and discretion of the working man, it is ,just possible that some of the voters at the present election are possession of a privilege which they do not, value or which they do not deserve. Some of the free and independent voters have the profoundest ignorance of the distinction between Conservative and Liberal, and record their votes on purely personal grounds. At Lambeth, the other day, the convictions of a labourer were rather too strong. He was so hearty a Liberal that he got drunk, and after recording his vote he found it advisable to remain at the polling-booth and abuse everyone who voted for Morgan Howard. He was taken into custody., and, by way of protest, threw himself down and kicked out freely at the constable. His wife, faithful to her marriage vow of remaining by him " for better for worse," came to his assistance, and kno( k.d the sergeant's hdrnet off. The magistrate fined - them altogether 30s. The Reform Act provides for the personal payment of rates, but not of fines in a police -court ; so these hearty politicians went to prison for a season. COMPLIMENTS. Mr. Layard has gained as much notoriety by the use of vigorous English as he has by his explorations of Nineveh. He told the electors the other day that the Conservative press was a disgrace to the litera ture of the country. It was a sink of iniquity, of lies, of calumnies, and of filth. The Standard takes this condemnation for itself, accepting its truth because two of Mr. Layard's speeches have been published in its columns. The spectacle of the late Under Secretary and Mrs. Gamp abusing each other in this way is an edifying one. When the heat of the election contest is over, let us hope ttiat they will mend their manners, or else, if they find it necessary to quarrel, they will favour us with something more original than the vulgar to gun-1m retort. In South Wales two rival candidates, I Colonel Somerset and Colonel Clifford—both officers, ..md by courtesy, therefore,, gentlemen—have been ' awning " each other with all the energy of bargef=s. Mr. Bogies has indulged in simile. He comforts the working' man by reminding hun that a dirty hand is betterthan a dirty heart, and that th e unwashed hand o honest labour is better than th e kid-gloved hand so sel with the dirt of To r yi sm . We doubt not that 111..."'.. Beaks would have found a better style of oratory for the House of Com mons. Unfortunately, ho is not returiind) and must theref ore be judged by his hustings speec. l .tes• , • A LEADING QUEST:DN. '~~. ''i? K .. The reporter of the Shqffie .Independent took down the following remarks of Mr. Price, on the hustings the other day :—" I should like to know whether it is true or not that the editor of that newspaper who has tried to blacken my character by connecting me .with Broadhead was not one of his -most intimate friends a few months ago, .and whether night after night, night after night, during the inquiry in Sheffield. Mr. Leader was not closeted with Mr. Broadhead as his most intimate chum." Mr. Leader was present at the time, but could not hear a word said. When he saw the reporter's notes he immediately wrote to Mr. Price to ask him if he adopted the passage as his own, and to give his unqualified denial. No answer has been returned by Mr. Price. CHURCH BELLS AT ELECTIONS. Of all the foolish uses to which church bells are put, that of celebrating election triumphs seems to be the most ridiculous. Dr. Miller, the vicar of Greenwich, has set a good example in the. matter, forbidding the parish church bells to be rung in cele bration of the triumph of either party. Any excuse suffices to set the bells going, the ringers trusting to somebody's vanity for a good supply of beer and a good day's pay. A local wedding, a national victory, and a corporation dinner, all call forth the same clatter, and the Tory church-steeple vies with the Liberal tower in pro claiming the arrival or return of a candidate. If the bells could be devoted to a use attributed to them in medireval times, they might be of some use during the elections. Let them clatter by all means, if they can frighten away the devil and all evil spirits. LONDON IN NOVEMBER. "An Unguarded Spinster " again writes to the Post to comment upon Sir Richard Mayne's statistics. From these she assumes that 400 or 600 determined criminals have been engaged i n 199 b urg l ar i es during the six summer months, and only a b ou t 12 per cent. convicted. Criminals used to be trans ported at one time now, some of them, with sen tences altogether from fifty t o seven t y years ' pena l servitude, are at large. She says : "It is monstrous to ask me to protect myself, to send me tables show mg that 200 houses have been broken into in one summer, and that only 69 men have been convicted. I want the police to seize the 600 vagabonds who are known to them, and of whose intentions they are perfectly aware. I ask the shepherds to keep off the wolves, and not to wait until the lambs are eaten, and then to organise a wild battue in the open, where they will capture only a few of the depredators." She does not so much blame Sir Richard as the state A the law, and she appeals to the new Parliament !or protection of her property and her life. The state of the law as it is at present enables a well known thief and a policeman to be on the most friendly terms, the former indulging in mild chaff at the expense of the limb of the law, and the latter mingling words of friendly caution with humorous illusions to the " troubles" of the other. Is it clearly understood that in certain eventualities these rela tions are to be exchanged for others of a less plea sant nature. MR. ItEVERDY JOHNSON AND THE LONDON WORKING MEN. Mr. Reverdy Johnson is just now a man whom everybody delighteth to honour. He seems by his speeches to have laid hold of the public heart. He has evidently understood the English susceptibilities well enough to flatter us where we like it best. Such speeches from an Englishman would have called down more than one condem nation ere now from the critical press. They are pitched higher than we in Eng land are usually accustomed to hear. There is a great deal of that Americanism which has been re peatedly scoffed at in newspapers and books of all kinds and degrees. But the meaning of the eloquence was good, and, catching at this, how could one be other than satisfied ? Now-a-days it is not one class alone which must demonstrate its likes and dislikes. The upper and middle classes having received Mr. Johnson at a banquet, the working men wish to do the same. They have therefore invited Mr. Johnson to a dinner on the 28th inst. " His Excellency "has accepted the invitation. ST. PiIIL'S. The Morning Summary has some severe remarks about the services at St. Paul's Cathedral. People who are particularly anxious to hear a certain anthem have to make a commercial arrangement with the vergers. Those who cannot do this have to remain outside, and then they amuse them selves as they best may., Our contemporary says : "When the tune comes for some venerable dignitary of the Church to mount the pulpit and deliver a rather dry sermon for the edification of this somewhat mixed congregation, the battle that takes place between the solemn gentlemen with the silver pokers and the free and easy young ladies and gentlemen outside the pale of Christianity is some what painful to those who have old-fashioned and orthodox notions about churches and cathedrals." The service at St. Paul's is one of the most slovenly imaginable, and the conduct of those who make it a lounging place is a suitable accompaniment. If the great metropolitan cathedral were an index of the spirit of our national religion it would be sad indeed. It is to be hoped that the new bishop and the new dean may not find the matter beneath their notice.
