LONDON, TUESDAY, JUN& 20.

Wa probably shall not be wrong in u-
suming that Mr. Goscattes masterly speech in
favour of the Oxford Tests Abolition Bill has
something to do with the announcement of two
Tory candidates for the City. Mr. Goscars has
well fulfilled the high expectations which were
formed of him at his election. His speech last
Wednesday was a statesmanlike application and
enforcement of liberal principles, to which no
answer was or could be made by the able speakers
who rose to reply to him. Mr. GOSCHKN is an
ornament to his order, and we trust the City of
London, so long and so honourably associated with
the cause of civil and religious liberty, will show
its appreciation of his merits at the poll. The
name of another candidate who has' to encounter
the special hostility of the Tories is suggested
when we are looking for the young legislators who
are to figure in future Parliaments—that of Mr.
JOHN LUBBOCK, who has appealed to the consti-
tuency of West Kent. Mr. LUBBOCK is the eldest
800 of Sir JOHN W. LUBBOCK, Bart., and a partner
in the firm of ROBARTS, LUBBOCK, and Co. He
was educated at Eton, and has been engaged in
business since 1849. Although only 31 years of
age, he has acquired distinction both in and out of
bis profession. It was mainly by his exertions
that the country clearing was established on its
present basis, the effect of which has been
to render cheques drawn on country
banks more negotiable, and consequently
more useful than they were before. To the
scientific world Mr. LUBBOCK is known by name-
roue memoirs on subjects belonging to the
natural sciences, and by his elaborate works
recently published on " Prehistoric Times." Mr.
LUBBOCK will be fiercely opposed on account
of the decision and breadth of his liberal con-
tictioos. His election would be most creditable
to the constituency. Every member of the liberal
party will of course vote for him, and it may rea-
sonably be expected that those moderate men of
education who, as a rule, hold themselves aloof from
the petty strife of parties, will on such an occa-
sion join to support • candidate of a type by no
means adequately represented in the House of
Commons.

We published the other day under the head
of "The Englishman with the Brigands," as an
amusing absurdity, a highly wrought story from
our legitimist and pro-papal contemporary the
Union, of Paris. According to its author, who
dated his communication from Naples, the Pied-
montese government being unable to deliver the 1,
two Englishmen captured by the brigand Gior-
dano, the English consul had put himself into
communication with that potentate, and a moat re-
markable colloquy followed. The consul heard with
astonishment that 20,000 ducats were demanded as
ransom ; and in the heat of his indignation sent for
a frigate. Thereupon the ransom was doubled, and
it was notified to the consul that if another frigate
came it would be tripled. The point of the story lay in
the political turn that was finally given to the whole
business. Giardullo, or his messenger, was made to say
to the consul, when at length the money was counted
down and an observation was made as to the large-
ness of the amount:—" Keep your temper ; it is
the amount you yourself have fixed. Remember the
Cagliari-18,000 ducats was the sum you com-
pelled our King Ferdinand to pay as an in-
demnity for the two Englishmen taken with
that vessel ; add 2,000 ducats for the diffe-
rence in the value of money, and 20,000 more
as the consequence of the presence of your ship of
war at Salerno, and you get an amount equal to that
of our demand on you." If this story were true, it
would go a good way to establish the connexion
between the Bourbon el-king of Naples and the
atrocious outrages of which we have lately heard.
That such a connexion is most probable may be in-
ferred from the rea•liness with which our Legitimist
and Bourbon contemporary published the narra-
tion. The whole story, however, is entirely desti-
tute of foundation. Her Majesty's consul-general
has had no interview with the brigands. It is
true that an English man-of-war was sent round
to the Gulf of Salerno, not to intimidate the bri-
gands, but on the suggestion of Mr. Ayneley, who
reported that some of them were anxious to aban-
don their lawless life, if they could find means of
escape. When the ship arrived, the brigands de-
clined to avail themselves of the opportunity. The
conversation between the Consul-general and the
id chief is, therefore, a pure invention.
