Turning to our domestic policy, Lord John said the Cabinet would have to consider the question of reform, though not in . the present session. They would consider it fairly, and he trusted they would produce a measure satisfactory to the country. The nomination for Newcastle took place yesterday, and the show of hands was de ckred in favour of Mr. Headlam, the Liberal can didate. A poll was demanded on the part of Mr. Cuthbert. Mr. Griffiths has declined to con test Wolverhampton at present. Mr. M. Gibson was returned for Aslaton unopposed yesterday. Of general domestic news there is nothing of interest worthy of - notice. The trial instituted by the Horse Guards against Marshall and others, for the alleged sale of army commissions, was commenced yesterday morning.' Locally there is not much stirring. Ample reports will be found in another portion-of to-day's paper.: A man, named Stephenson, a cotton porter, was charged at the Police-court yesterday with the • murder of his wife, at their residence, Crosshall street. They had been quarrelling, and he kicked her so severely that she died shortly afterwards. The inquiry was adjOurned. THE ELECTIONS. IT was not expected that there would be much • change of position occasioned by the Elections which "were rendered necessary by the change of Ministry. It is not very 'usual to find it so. They who accept office have generally to be pretty sure of their re election; and, besides, the, constituencies are nsostly, in such cases, of opinion that as the selection of their representatives for official appointment is honourable to them, they ought not to make the ungrateful return of refusing to them a renewal of their con fidence. In one instance-and there may be others --on this occasion, we see that the constituency `actually passed a formal resolution, " That in the opinion of this meeting the selection of one of-the representatives to fill an important office in the Liberal Government, recently formed, is equally an honour to the constituency and, the honourable member so elected." This honour silenced, for the moment, no doubt,•any discontent or dissatisfaction there might be—and it is impossible to deny that there is a good deal of both just now in the Liberal ranks every where -and it is a feeling to which, we believe, several of those whose distinction has given rise to it are mainly indebted for the forbearance which has been shown to them in their present situation. Moreover, the period is so short since they were returned at the General Election, that there has scarcely been time to give practical effect to any reaction that may have arisen. • : - But although the results of the Elections them selves maN oarren of political promise, there has been a great deal said at them which is-. significant,. and which is instructive. There has been a mani festation of discontent, without any disguise, among the Advanced Liberals, with the Ministerial arrange rnents, Vi'hich ought to show the aristocratic dons of the Whig-Liberal party how much they have perilled their cause by such nnVistifiable exclusive ness as they have practised in the formation of the Government. See, forexarnple,.what was the state-; ment by which :the popular candidate for Maryle bone carried along : with him the loudly expressed sympathies of the .people. " A general agreement he said, "at Willis's Rooms, that _,;ie every section o f th e Lib era l party should ' be repre _es - that sented in a New Cabinet, if they wished to turn part of the Lord DERISY out. That . was done ; but what set were universal. came? There were Whigs, Peelites, and Advanced • Liberals. These last were the m )st numerous in the country. How Were the officesappropriated? First, the seats in the Cabinet were 'appropriated without one Advanced Liberal ; and the introduction of four more seats was- only halved, for two Advanced Liberals were pitted against two old Tories. That was what the Irish called one-sided 'reciprocity : ' The Paelites, the least 'numerous 'section' in the country, were the most numerous in the 'Cabinet. They were all in -but two —Sli• JAMES GRA!! ill :and Mr. F. PEEL. Mr. M. GIBSON was the only Advanced Liberal, for he 'did not believe Mr. COBDEN would join in the` unjust carrying out of the Willis's compact; and if he did h e was sure that before three months MILNER GIBRON and RICHARD COBDEN would = walk out of the Cabinet. He therefore consideredthe Liberal party had' been unfairly 'treated:" • Now this is 'a plain, straight forward account of the composition of the new mese victories Ministry. And it is important for, the interests of t h the heart of an elated army and truth and fair dealing that the people should be an arrogant nation ? A campaign without a single made fully aware of it.

" It-has been - my lot'," he ' yesterday, without Pndon, which said, "to be cas t i n w i t h t h e Government of this o ff ice clay. I, of co urse , am no t i n a pos i t i on to state more accurately than can be inferred from their public .ements what will be their principlesi but there are some principles upon which, we feel confident that they will act. And, first, I will say one word with reference to our foreign affairs. I believe that they will endeavour—and I believe that they will succeed in their endeavour —to maintain peace in this country. And ; whilst I am 'on this subject, I will do justice 'to Lord MAL ‘IESBURY, and I will say that I believe he also did his best to maintain, the peace of Europe ; and that, if he failed—as fail he did -in maintaining the peace of Europe, it was not from any lack of inclination, or any lack of earnestness and zeal to obtain that desideratum." Now, what more could be said • in favour of Any Foreign Minister, under similar circumstances, than this? Lord MALMESBURY did his best to prevent the war that is now raging in Austrian-Italy. But that he could not possibly have prevented the hostilities taking place, is now beyond all question. The French Emperor had long ago resolved upon it, and no English Minister, or Minister of any country, could erer have turned 'him from his ambitibus ~ --- 1 ,,, uLaa a., utzu, althou g , h, every day that the war lasts, the sons of Italy will boceme, move •hardened in .war, and every success will make it the more impossible for the French' to recede."

Lord John Russell was elected, yesterday, without opposition, member for . the City of London, which seat had been rendered vacant by his taking office under Lord Palmerston. ~ Irk his speech, on th e hustings, the n o bl e lord' made some remarks on the war, neutrality, and reform. Retelling to the war, he said —" The deep-seated cause was_.not the ambi tion of one man, of two men, or of three men, but it was the grievous mi sgovernment of Italy, which has now lasted forforty years, and which the Italians have il t Vro I•instcy 44.-......,, ...-J__ ___ v . . disin- TO GENET Ait LS, - TRADESMEN OTHERS.

What we may hope for is, that the moderation of the suc cessful. party, and the wisdom of the defeated party, may lead, at no distant interval, to an honourable and satisfactory peace. Our duty is to continue in that path of neutrality whic4 the whole country has determined to adopt. But if there sho u ld not be ..that moderati on , if there should not be was come to, ptirpOse. Butithoudh _1,64 MALMESBURY could not succeed in maintaining the peace of Europe, he did succeed in preserving peace in this country—in maintaining its neutrality, and establishing it in a position to continue to keep free of all foreign en tanglements. Happy will it be for us, if the new Foreign Minister does as much. But there is another all-important question upon which the new Ministry, according to the same authority, are not likely to do more, if even they do as much as the old one. 4 ' I do not think," he de clared, " and I should be deceiving you if I were to hold out the expectation that any very large measure of Reform can pass in the present Parlia ment. I will not, as it is idle to discuss things which are impossible, enter into the question of whether it is desirable or not ; but this I know, that from the present opinion generally of the public, from the opinion of the House of Lords, and from the opinion of a great proportion of the members of the House of Commons, it is not within the limit of pos sibility that any very extensive measure of Reform can possbly be enacted." Then why have exposed the country to all the disadvantages of a change of Government, at so critical a time ? Why have wasted a whole Parliamentary Session, as they have done, if no suet reform can, after all, be carried ? It could only be said of the Derby Ministry's bill, that it was not "any very extensive measure of reform." And just because it was not more exten sive, did they who are now going to bring forward another not very extensive measure oppose, and finally overthrow them. It is thus obvious, we think, that the people have been deceived. The Elections will go off as a matter of course, —as but the temporary expedient they will turn out to be. But the bringing face to face with the several constituencies those who have been parties to, and are now for the moment profiting by the deception, will at least have the effect of enlight ening the public mind. " That old common arbitra tor, Time," as SHAKSPEARE says, " will one day end it all." And to that arbitration, for our part, we are content to leave it. The worst of it is, that in the meanwhile much mischief may be done; for under such a state of things important 'interests are very likely to be imperilled. But of this we are quite sure, that "Truth will be uppermost one time or other, like cork, though kept down in the water."

For : sixteen hours two . masses of armed men, approaching' an aggregate of half a million, were engaged iu a grapple (Aide and death; from dawn to sunset 540 cannon roared and myriads of bayonets flashed on 'the narrow plains of the Mincie. The Austrians themselves have candidly admitted their defeat, and history scarcely records a bulletin in which a disaster was more explicitly avowed. The Daily News remarks that "the Magenta defeat was in some degree to be attributed to the incom petency of Gyulai ; but at Solferino the Austrian i army fought nobly, under the eye of Franeis Joseph himself. The Austrians commenced this battle with every advantage —they chose their own ground, and they possessed the initiative ; they were close to their reserves and magazines, and were, or ought to have been, in superior numbers. Nevertheless, fighting in the presence of the Emperor, and directed by the very best talent in the empire, they have been, as they honestly confess, terribly beaten. They appealed to:the fortune of war, and the response is unfavourable. But the physical superiority: of 'the Allies, and 'that spirit of enthusiasm Which a just cause alone 'can inspire, outweighed every advantage. The grand details of the battle are still unknown, but the Austrian centre was pierced, and his left was over whelmed." The Daily News in another article observes that " a grand victory and a great defeat, like that of -Friday last, cannot buttend powerfully either to bring about an early peace or to cause a serious extension of war. The time has now come for Prilssia to declare her intentions.: She .must do so in fulfilment of the declarations with which she has accompanied the mobilisation of part of the army, and it is well understood that 'her diplomacy has been awaiting some military event, signal, like that of Friday last, in order to propose -terms to the belligerents.' The Daily News adds!: " Let Prussia, then, urge on Austria the acceptance of those rightful and necessary terms upon 'which the Emperor of the French is ready to return within - his frontier. Austria will be stronger for : having restored to a nation its rights; the portentous march of the French army will be stayed ; Europe will see its I peace re-establish e d u p on a fi rmer b as i s than it haf known Q;nna 1-1-.., 1 , --_____ ...,.. feared that Ai stria reigned in the minds of men that sooner or later the nation would be called upon to repel an invasion by , the French. We - had, alas, too great reason to fear invasion, and when a man has forfeited his word in the manner in which the Emperor of France had done, it was impossible to look upon him in any other than a distrustful spirit; nor could any man , of common sense and acquainted with human nature, looking to the antecedents of the French Emperor, conceal , from his mind there was too much reason to fear 'an invasion by the troops of _Lours NAPOLEON." This, then, there can be no doubt, is the plain matter of fact. And why should it be concealed ? There is no need of its being offensive to Louis NAPOLEON,— there is no wish or intention to make it so, we believe, in any quarter. It is the people of England's true interest and happiness to " seek peace and ensue it," with France, and with all the world. But it is equally their interest and their happiness to be prepared for an attitude of defence, should occasion require it to be assumed. And so far from there being any harm in LOUIS NAPOLEON knowing this, we cannot but think that the great good may arise out of it, of his being curbed in his bellicose propensities, and checked in his aggresive desires, by the knowledge that England is in a position to realise the assurance of the olden time, that— " Come the three corners of the world in arms, And we shall shock them !" LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Sunday, a man named Roper, whilst in a state of intoxication, fell down in Edge-hill, and received such injuries to his head that he died early yes terday. MAD Dods.—We perceive that the Birkenhead magis trates have issued their usual mad-dog circular. It is really time for this, as the weather is fearfully hot for so early - in the season. THE BISHOP or COVEMElA.—Yesterday Dr. Hiles, the Bishop of Columbia, who is now on a visit to Liverpool, met a number of his brother ministers in the council room of the Town-hall, which had been granted to them by his Worship the Mayor.

The Mersey Docks and Harbour Board made an applicatl o D to the committee for the supply of water to forty fountaiD s ' proposed to be erected within the dock walls. A repor t from the engineer was read on the subject, stating that th e fountains could be supplied with spring taps, and that them would not be near so much water used as in the other fowl' tains through the town, and sac:Tested that, as a charge of one, guinea a year was made for the fountains in the ontskirts the town, the same price should he fixed for these. Id!' Jeffery objected to this, and said the fountains in the out skirts were a grea t mistake. They only ch arge d t h e h e al L e. , committee one guinea a year, whereas it cost not less thee £lO a year. 'Their works cost them two millioni - of money. and they were driven by poverty to make a lair charge for the water consumed. Mr. Ryley said that the wat er committee were prepared to supply the fountains at moderate ch arge t o b e a f terwards settled upon.ler' Bennett moved that the dock board be informed that the fountains be supplied at half a guinea per annum, O r ; Jeffery moved that the committee of the Mersey Dock air Harb , ur Board he informed that the' necessafy suPPII of water for their fountains will. be afforded at the most moderate charge that the committee Could afford and that the question be referred to the' enginee r for that purp ose an d report thereon. Mr. S"- tt seconded the motion. Mr. Hilton moved that the, be supplied at one guinea per annum. M r . Holmes seconded the motion. Mr. Jeffery said the health corn' mittee were charging 2d. in the p oun d f or the supply °f the water to the street fountains. The water committee was in a state of bankruptcy, were it not for the security given them by the corporate estate, and they could e think of giving water for at least one half its cost. It e would give it at a fair cost price; but the Dock Board must not ask the community of Liverpool to supply the" with water for their fountains gratuituously: The Chair man agreed with Mr. Jeffery. They obtair at a very large cost; and water was like bread ant things, which ought to be paid - conversation, Mr. Earle moved willing to supply the water to these fountains a t the rate of one guinea per annum to each fountain, such being the charge paid for the fountains i n the outskirts of the town. The amendment, which was s econded by Mr. Chilton, was put to the vote and lost by ..a ma j or ity' of eight to six; and Mr. Jeffery's motion was accorciing l l carried. Mr. Campbell reported that the impounded wate r from the Roddlesworth reservoir was discharged one-and-a half inches into the goit. A memorial was read-from the inhabitants of Netherfield- road North, complaining that the road was not properly watered. The memorial was forwar; tied to the Health Committee, as it was not in the power of the Water Committee to deal with it.
