TO-DAY the capital is called to choose its
members, and with the exception of those
of limber/ and Southwark, all the metro-
politan candidates will be nominated this morn-
ing. In the City there will be • strong con-
test, but if the Liberal electors will only re-
member that the four gentlemen who offer to serve
them represent one interest, to which the two
Conservatives are antagonistic, and act upon that
knowledge, the return of the Liberal candidates
will be secured. Messrs. LYALL and FOWLER
bare refrained from giving any tangible
political reason why they should be pre-
ferred to either of the City members, or
to Alderman LAWRENCE. The Liberal electors of
Westminster have a duty of unusual importance
to discharge. Under any circumstances a candi-
date presenting himself as austerely as Mr. Mria.
has done would placehimself st &disadvantage which
only great determination and public spirit on the
part of the constituency could compensate. The
course taken by the Conservatives supplies new rea-
sons for their activity. It is only necessary to walk
through Westminster to perceive how the battle is
being fought by that party. These circumstances
loudly call for union among the Liberals, and
with union victory is certain ; but there must
be no plumping for either of the Liberal candi-
dates. In Marylebone, where it was naturally
expected there would be no opposition, Mr. THO-
MAS CHAMBERS has appeared, why we are unable
to learn. His opposition is understood to be
directed against Lord FrioEiv, who, we must take
leave to say, appears to us to be a better
Liberal than the learned gentleman himself, one
who better knows his mind, and, politically
speaking, has a better mind to know.
The choice for Finsbury lies wholly among
Liberals, and provided that Mr. TORRENS, the one
candidate in whom the public, recognises states-
manship, be elected, it probably matters little
who may be chosen for his colleague. Southwark
and the Tower Hamlets appear to be too well
pleased with their present members to make oppo-
sition profitable. In Lambeth the late members
are in the field, together with a gentleman who
has special claims upon a constituency including
so large • number of the working classes. Of
that, as of all the metropolitan boroughs,
every Liberal can have bat one hope—that the
beat men may win.

-----
The Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer
will leave town to-morrow. Mrs. Gladstone and Mir
Gladstone hare gone to &warden Castle, Fbntabire, for a
few weeks.

On Saturday night Viscountess Palmerston had
a reception at Cambridge House, Piccadilly. Her ladyship's
miaow were well filled with canyeay, although maay
families have left town for the mason.

NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION PRIZE
MEETING.-(THIS DAY.)

CIRCUMSTANCES are lending • peculiar interest
to the contest impending in South Lancashire.
The division, which returned two Members at the
last general election, was one of those to which
an additional seat was assigned by the Act of
1861: this is, therefore, the first occasion upon
which the electors have been called to
choose three Members at once. The gentlemen
seeking re-election, the Hon A. F. Eon"
lox, Mr. Leon, and Mr. C. Turmas, are
all Conservatives. They are now to be opposed by
Mr. GLADSTONE,' the Chancellor of the Exam-
quer, Mr. JAMES HEYWOOD, and Mr. YATES
THOMPSON. Mr. GLADSTONE stands in a relation
to this contest similar to that in which Mr.
GATHORNE HARDY stands to that at Oxford. He is
proposed as a candidate by his friends, while he is
formally and avowedly before another constituency.
It is obvious that the whole responsibility of
nominating Mr. GLADSTONE for South Lancashire
must fall upon his friends, and we think they
have done their duty in assuming it. Should Mr.
GLADSTONE fail to be re-elected for the University
the eyes of the whole kingdom will be upon South
Lancashire, and those who have brought the
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER forward for so im-
portant • constituency will be entitled to public
gratitude. For colleagues Mr. GLADSTONE has
two gentlemen worthy to be associated with
him. Mr. JAMES HEYWOOD, the tried friend
of religious liberty, who formerly rendered good
service as member for North Lancashire, is the
first of these. The second is Mr. YATES THOM,
sox, a gentleman who is too young to have ac-
quired • title to confidence by long service ; but
who is a candidate of the highest promise, one of
that class of whom Mr. GrAterroris spoke, and whom

we should gladly see attached early to political

- -
life. Mr. TuottrsoN won distinguished honours at
the University ; he is an able speaker, and a man
of political aptitude. With candidates so worthy
of support the Liberals of South Lancashire intend
to fight a good battle, and we heartily wish them
success.

bledomoommee, for the prize meeting, which will eland
from this day until the 22nd, when the promediep
will be brought to • conclusion by a review of the
whole body of the metropolitan volunteers, by his
Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. The meet-
ing this year commences under very encouraging
circumstances, inasmuch as the funds of the snack-
thin are in • very satisfactory state, there is • larger num-
ber of prime offered for competition, and the body of
volunteers who are portent far neon in amount those ce
say former occasion. Last year there were barely 1,900
entries for the Queen's Prize ; this year there are upwards
of 2,100, and every ninety throughout England
end Soothed will be well represented. There are this year
several new prizes offered for competition, one of the
principal being the " China Challenge Cop," value 5251.,
with 1001. in specie added, presented by the volunteers in
China for competition at Wimbledon by the home voles-
teen, and to be competed fee by ten efficient volunteers
from each county, five shots each man at the respective
ranges of 200 and 500 yards. The squad making the highest
number of marks will take the Cup and 501., sod there ere
three other mosey prizes for those coming next in the order
of merit, and the cup so wan will be placed is the poises-
siou:of the loci lieuteent of the winning county as an
honourable trophy during the year, or until some other
county shall by superior skill obtain the pommies of ft.
This prise Ise:peat/1 to excite great interest, sad a great
sumber of counties have intimated their intention of ea-
&avowing to obtain the coveted honour. Then is
also a new prize of 501. given by the Lemke
mid South Western Railway Company, with 251.
added by the emaciation, bat one event which usually
excites peat interest—vie, the match between the Lords
and Commons—is this year missing from the programme
in consequence of the general election intervening at the
time when that contest is commonly appointed to take
place. There are altogether 27 competitions ; but each
competition contains several prizes, so that there is an
ample field for all to obtain rewards who have become
proficient in the use of the rifle.
The executive arrangements for the meeting are under
the direction of the Council of the National Rifle Associa-
tion. They appear to be of • very satisfactory deecrip-
time, for • much more extensive space of ironed has bees
enclosed, and the van encampment for the use of volun-
teers, aedthe " tested field" present an appearance ueique
and plearlog. The tents are all sew &pilot unexceptionable
whiteness, extending from the well-known windmill on the
north to the extremity of the common nearest to Wimbledon
teethe south, besides which there are la-ge marquees for the
use of the Council clustered in a circle, together with spe-
cial oleo for the Secretary, Statistical Department, the
Finance Department, the Press, printing offices„ tn. Nor
have the casualties of the field been forgotten,
for a large hospital tent has been erected in the en-
closure sear the windmill, which will be medic the direc-
tion of Dr. Westmont, surgeon to the Association,
sad anther hospital teat has been greeted near the guard's
camp, at the extreme Routh side of the common. With •
view of affording the volunteers every accommodation
during their stay, • post-office has been opened on the
ground, with telegraph static*, from which messages may
be sent to any part of the kingdom. Mr. Jennisoo, of
Manchester, is again here with his monster pavilion,
which formed so gnat • resort is former years,
and from what we have seen be is so amply
provided with creature comforts that there is no fear of •
famine upon Wimbledon-common were even the allotted
time of the meeting to be extended for weeks over that
period. Some idea may be formed of the builtliolothen
it is known that 2,000 persons can be seated at
dinner at one time, and that the arrangements
are quite equal to the demand. A liberal stele
of charges has been lied upon, and which are as falcon:—
Breakfast, ls. ; dinner, 2s. 6d. ; tea, le., and beer, spirits,
and wines ars supplied at regular public-bouses prices.
The shooting to-day began at 1 o'clock with the following
competitors: The City of Leedom, Tower Hamlets, and
Middlesex Bronze Medals, at 200, 500, and 600 yards ; the
Oxford and Cambridge Breeze Medal, at 200, 500
end 600 yards ; the All Comers' County Match, bonnet
the representatives of the counties of Gloucester-
