Commons ws to prolact the national pone

the encroachments of the Exeentive,,,and especially
from the eisitinually increasing dedikda of the two
Services ; but now it appears the lieu* considers
it its business to swell the Iktimatee and stimulate
the Government to extravagant expenditure. Mr.
Baxrza, however, throws an ominous light on this ,
new phase of Parliamentary action in • passage
which suggests even more than it expresses, and
which pre-eminently deserves to be taken to heart
by the nation at large. He traces this novel and
anomalous system of Parliamentary expenditure
to the presence in the House of a class
more or less directly interested in lavish outlay.
" Before leaving this part of my subject, allow me
" to call your attention to the increase of lobbying
" and jobbing on the part of members of the House.
" This has been observed with great regret by
" some of our oldest and most respected politi-
" clans ; and if there is to be a secret bond of
" pecuniary interest stronger than party feeling,
" stronger than political sentiment, connecting
" men on both sides, inducing them to enoourage
" expenditure, preventing them from voting
" against Dover contracts and such like schemes,
" and rendering them quite uncertain and un-
" reliable in matters where engineers and con-
" tractors, railways and joint-stock companies
" are concerned, then farewell to the prestige
" and the popularity of the House of Commons."
It is difficult to resist the conviction that the rise
and stealthy progress of a system so fatal to all
the higher ends and elements of public life must
be more or leas directly connected with the goes-
tion of corrupt expenditure at elections, so ably
and earnestly dwelt upon by Professor Fswerrr
at Brighton. And if so, it certainly supplies a new
and powerful reason why the constituencies should
set their faces like a flint against this great evil.
Professor Fswerrr insisted with great force on
the Parliamentary degradation which corrupt ex-
penditure at elections involves, but if it not only
lowers the tone of public life, but enormourly
raises the amount of the public expenditure, there
will be arguments of the most practical kind
against the further toleration of a disgraceful sys-
tem. When it is discovered that the lavish outlay
of private means in the purchase of votes is
directly connected with the extravagant if not cor-
rupt expenditure of the national funds on nominal
public works, bribeii will probably fall into dis-
repute even with some of its present unavowed
admirers.

DEATH, we are constantly told from pulpits and
by poets, is the great leveller ; the sovereign
preacher of equality, the august reconciler of hu-
man destinies and conditions. Surely of all idle
common-places there can be none more mistaken
and untrue. Death, on the contrary, has
its preferences, its passionate impulses of envy and
injustice, its moods of insult, of rage, of irony.
Does it not spare the idle, the useless, the miserable,
the base, and snatch away—not in fair conflict,
but with a sneer—the wise, the good, the
beautiful, the happy, the victorious, the brave
Yesterday the commonest of accidents deprived
England and the world of a life honoured and
valued wherever great services to humanity are
held in honour ; even as Captain SPEKE'S
great precursor, JAMES BRUCE, after passing
unharmed through countless and incessant perils
of travel and adventure so remote and so marvel-
lous that popular rumour treated the story of his
journey with nnbel'eving ridicule, fell down
a doorstep at his house in Scotland, and died as •
woman or a child might have died who had never
left home. So now the modest soldier of many a
hard fought Indian battle, the devoted explorer of
Central Africa, the fearless discoverer of the
Sources °lithe Nile, returns home to his native
sod ancestral county, and there, at the height of
his well won renown, surrounded with affectionate
respect and esteem, goes out shooting one
September morning, in the best of health
and spirits, and in getting over a wall
is shot through the heart by his own gun. And this
was to be his end in his own loving and beloved
county of Somerset, among his friends ►nd neigh-
bours, on the morning of ,Ithat day, when the
sweetest of all his honours was waiting for him—
the public homage of the most illustrious of his
countrymen amidst the congratulations of an audi-
ence whose sympathy he would have reckoned
more preciousithan the praise of all the world
besides !

LATEST DITELLIGENOIL

THE OLSE OF NORTH SI/WM
It appears that the inhabitants of North Sleswig
are entirely opposed to annexation with Germany.
They have not only petitioned the King of Denmark
in this sense, but have just presented an
address with more than a thousand signa-
tures to the Austro-Prussian commissioners
protesting against the annexation. This
address contains the following unequivocal declar-
ation :—" We wish to remain united with Den-
mark. We would prefer a division of Sleswig
according to the nationality of the population to a
union with Holstein and annexation to Ger-
many." There is no mistaking such lan-
guage," says the Debate. " The Diet, the
King of Prussia, and the Emperor of Austria
will not be able to plead ignorance, if, after having
taken up arms to protect the principle of nationali-
ties in Holstein, and to break the bonds which
united the German duchies to the Danish isles, they
now bind Danish Sleswig to German Holstein."

THE ARRIVAL OF MULLER AT
LIVERPOOL AND DEPARTURE.
FOR LONDON.-(THIS DAY.)

LIVERPOOL. SATURDAY Romero.

Muller was landed here at about eleven o'clock
last night. He was brought to the north end of
the Prince's Pier, and not to the great landing
stage. This was a great disappointment to many
thousands of persons who had assembled at the
latter place for the purpose of seeing him, and who
had been waiting several hours. The prisoner
was in charge of the Liverpool police, who brought
him to land, in company with the London officers
and the witnesses, in a special steamer. They
were all taken to the Central Police-office. It is
not intended that they should leave for London till
the 9 o'clock train ; and the vast concourse of spec-
tators who were also congregated at the railway
station, on learning this, appeared much chagrined.
Muller seems very cool and quiet. He was
neatly and cleanly dressed. No one was allowed
to speak to him.
He will be taken to toed by the London and
North Western train.

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY MORNYNG, 10 A.M.

Muller was removed at half-past 7 this morn
ing from the Liverpool Detective-office to Edgehill
Station in a cab, in charge of Inspector Tanner,
and remained there until the 9 express (London and
North Western) arrived. He was then placed in a
compartment, and proceeded to London. He was
not ironed.

The police arrangements were secret, and not
more than 200 people were assembled.

EXCITE3IF,NT AT BOW-STREET POLICE-

Great crowds of persons assembled in front of
the court long before 10 o'clock to-day, in the
expectation of seeing Franz Muller brought up for
examination. The information conveyed by the
morning journals, that there was no possibility of
his arriving in London even till the afternoon,
did not apparently dishearten the populace,
and when the prison van arrived with the ordinary
prisoners there was a perfect rush to get a sight of
the supposed murderer of Mr. Briggs, whom they
expected to step out of the black vehicle in quite
the ordinary fashion. The assurances of the
police that Muller was a few hundred miles
away, probably enjoying a comfortable sleep,
on his way up to London, did not in
the slightest degree affect their credulity
about the matter, and even some of the
representatives of the press, who abound on such
occasions, believed the absurd rumour that the
newspapers had been hoaxed ; that the telegrams
were fictitious ; and that Inspector Tanner, having
some private reason for deceiving the public, bad
got his prisoner quietly closeted in the cells of the
police-station opposite the court.
The moment the doors of the little court were
open, every available corner was occupied, and for
an hour or more, the people retained their position,
listening to the unusually trivial charges upon the
sheet. The arrival of the son of the late Mr. Briggs,
only to seek information from Mr. Burnaby, the
chief clerk, created a temporary furore, although
followed by that gentleman's immediate
departure from the court on learning that there was
no probability of the case being gone into this day.
The only case of interest was the examination of
poor Mr. Renfree, the mineralogist of Great
Russell-street, who bad been remanded for annoying
Miss Van Noorden by certain delusions respecting a
lady with her throat cut beckoning him from an
opposite window, and when the medical officer, Mr.
Bennett, now reported him to be of unsound mind,
although occasionally free from " delusions," and
apparently rational, Mr. Renfree said, " I think
I can take care of myself, but that may be a delu-
sion also," and this seemed so sensible an observa-
tion that Mr. Flowers, with his own sanction,
referred him back to the workhouse.

..,.....—.—
It was all along understood that Muller would
not be brought up for examination till Monday
next. _ _ .

During the morning thousands of people assem-
bled in the neighbourhood of the Easton station,
and it was with some difficulty that a clearance was
made to the several approaches to the terminus.
The scene was oue of mixed confusion and anxiety.
As at present arranged, on leaving the station Mai-
ler will be taken by the officers in charge in the that
place to Scotland-yard, where some necessary forms
will have to be gone through ; but as there is no
lock-up there he will afterwards be transferred to
the King-street station, in Westminster, where be
will remain until taken to Bow-street on Monday
morning.
