ETON COLLEGE SPEECH DAY.

The annual speeches were yesterday delivered in
the Upper School before Dr. Ralston, the head master, and
other authorities of the college, and a large assemblage of
the nobility and gentry, the Duke of Elinburgh, and the
Archbishop of York, the provost being absent from indis-
position. The speeches were unexceptionably good.

At 7 o'clock the usual procession of boats left Windsor
for Su/ley-hall amidst a heavy shower of rain, which
drenched their occupants to the skin and marred the
further pleasure of the evening. His Royal Highness the
Prince of Wales and the Crown Prince of Denmark were
among the distinguished company in the Brocas to witness
the departure of the boats.

THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH'S VISIT TO LIVER-
POOL—The Duke of Edinburgh, during his visit to Liver-
pool, will be the guest of Mr. S. R. Craves, one of the
members for the borough. His Royal Highness is expected
to arrive on the evening of Wednesday, the 20th, and it is
understood that en route from London to Liverpool he will
visit the works of the London and North Western Railway
Company at Crewe. In the evening a dinner party will be
given at the Grange, the residence of Mr. Graves. On the
following day, Thursday, the Prince will award the prizes
to the successful students on hoard the school frigate Con-
way, after which he will go on board her Majeaty's ship
Donegal, and take lunch with Captain and Mrs. Poynter,
and a select party. The ceremony of opening the new
northern entrances to the Birkenhead Docks will be subse-
quently gone through, and his Royal Highness will close
the public duties of the cloy by dining with the mayor
(Mr. R. Faruwortb) at the Town-hall. On the 22nd the
Prince will accompany the yachts engaged in the annual
Mbraey matches, and will be called upon to award the
Queen's Cup to the successful boat. In the evening there
will be • dinner party at the Grange. On Saturday, June
23, his Royal Highness will he afloat for a portion of the
day, and witness the yachting start. Afterwards he will
be requested to lay the foundation stone of a new infirmary
for children, and after lunching with the mayor, visiting
St. George's-hall, and a few other minor engagements, he
will depart in the evening, per the London and North
Western, fur Trentham.
WINCHESTER EbEcrloN.—The poll opened yes-
terday at the Corn Exchange at 8 o'clock, and continued
an entirely one-sided affair until the close,, when there
wait a considerable uproar. The consertUtive portion of
the electors, as • general body, appeared to take very
little interest in the affair, and the opposition to the re-
election of Mr. Bonham-Carter was a mere farce. It was
observed that many conservatives voted for 'Mr. Carter.
There was no possible chance of Dr. Lempriere being re-
turned, but the main object of his opposition in keeping
the poll open the whole of the day was accomplished so
far that it prevented Mr. Carter from reaching London
in time to be sworn in last night and take part in the
reform debate. There was an immense crowd at 4 o'clock,
and scarcely sword could be heard from the mayor as re-
turning officer, or either of the candidates. The mayor
gave the final state of the poll :—Kr. Bonham-Carter, 301;
Dr. Lempriere, 46 ; and declared Mr. Bonham-Carter duly
elected. The proceedings were exceedingly disorderly, and
the mayor, candidates, and their several supporters on the
hustings were pelted with paper bags of flour to an enor-
mous extent.
BRIDGWATER ELEcriois.—The writ for the elec-
tion of another member for this borough arrived on Satur-
day afternoon. In the evening Mr. George Patton. the
conservative candidate, arrived from Edinburgh, and met
with • very warm reception. He was met on the platform
by hie principal supporters, and rode into town in a
carriage drawn by four grey horses, followed by • similar
turn-out containing members of his committee. A large
procession wu formed, consisting of gentlemen on home-
back, a large number of electors and spectators, and a
hand, about 30 Raga and banners, some of which had in-
scriptions, such as " Defeat is changed to defiance," " He
cometh like a giant refreshed," " Persecution has rallied'
round us many friends." Mr. Patton briefly addressed the I
electors from the balcony at the Clarence Hotel, and after-
wards met his friends in the Assembly Room
.at the same
place, where he gave an exposition of his pnneqfles,
caring himself himself to be • zealous supporter of Lord Derby.
Mr. Bagehot delivered an address in the Public-mom,
George-street, and, contrary to general expectation, spoke
very freely. He declared himself • thorough-going liberal,
and • general supporter of the present government. Ad,
dresses were also delivered at the same place by Mr. Bex-
ley, who presided, Mr. G. B. Sully, Mr. Hammill, Mr. J.
Sully, Mr. Barham, and other gentlemen, all of whom
pledged themselves to do their utmost to secure Mr. Beige-
hot's election. The nomination day is fixed for Wednesday
next, and the poll will take place the following day.—

REPRESENTATION OF SOUTH NOTTS.—A requisi-
tion Is in course of preparation to solicit Mr. Thomas
Broughton T. Hildyard, of Flintham, to come forward for
this divirion, vacant by the elevation of Lord Stanhope to
the Upper Houma Mn. Hiblyard was the sacesedul aam-
pion of the farmers in 1846, defeating the late Duke of
Newcastle (then Lord Lincoln) by a very decisive majority.
The eonaerratives have held politicald=asion of this
division ante 1W37, and a liberal can would stand
very little chaaoe of sumer.
. We announce with much regret the illness of the
BAT. Dr. Goodford, Provost of Eton. He is at lisatinp.

THE LADY GODIV AT Orrin/a.—
This aneient'poneent was exhibitedelacstesdaterztia Ilse
old city of Coventry. With their it: predilso.
tion for processional shows, the cif' were molt
eldi-
citons to do honour to the memory of the Countess Godlira%
whose reputed spirit of ,elf-eamificiall benevolence has lizo
dissolubly associated her name with the sit as its groans..
benefactreu. The well-known legend is fint mentioned
by Matthew of Westminster, who wrote in 1307, 250 years'
after the time of Leofrio. The procession, as at
exhibited, was originated during the reign of Charles t
ailta.i,
in 1677; The usual style of the representative "lady" ;
having of .late become obnoxious, the Secretary of Stale-
has been communicated with, and Sir G. Grey wrote to that
Mayor of Coventry • few days since, requesting him "to
take measures to prevent public decency being outraged on'
the occasion." The countess was personated by.iladanis •
Penton, described as " from the Royal Academy," who •
rode a splendid charger lent b Mr. C. Hensler. The
pageant extended about a mile. The city companies;ak-'
tended by their followers and banners, and the local Auto, )
Odd FelLiws and Forester, with their glittering parapher-,
Delis, were well represented, and added to the Impairing'
digg"'
roolwarmar SHow.—This ancient pageant, the)
only one of its kind remaining in England, with the excep-
tion of that at Coventry, took place at Shrewsbury pater-.
day. Originally • solemn fast day, held under the waviess
of the church of Rome, for the observance of the, festival of •
Corpus Christi, it became after the Reformation • day on
which the various guilds of tradesmen walked through the
town in procession to Kingsland (a piece of high ground/
overlooking the town from the south side of the river), and,
therefeastedthemselvesandtheirfriends. Whentheseguilds
wereteoken up the managers of the showsoughttoperpeta-;
ate their memory bye:ranging in a prooersion a number often-
tastically dreseedpercons whousumed characters that have-
from time immemorial beenlocatepted as types of the'
various trades—though wh the ild of brickla ands
builders should be typified by Henry V and,
wherefore the Black Prince should precede the combined
guilds of hatters and cabinet-makers, are among the things'
not generally known. The show proves a very powarful+
attraction to excursionists, not only in the immediate,
district, but front distant towns, and yesterday heavy
trains from Birmingham, Liverpool, and Manchester'
brought their living freight. to mingle with the
population that came pouring into the town from an early
hour from all points of approach. The procession was
advertised to start from the Market-square et' IV
o'clock, but it was half an hour later before,
the music struck up, and, leading the van, came the
band of Wmabwell's menagerie, drawn in • waggon by an;
elephant and three camels. Then followed a horseman,:
clad in a coat of many colours, presumed to be the herald.
After him, followed in each case by a band of music and a •
body. of " tradesmen," came Crispin and Crispianus, repre-
senting the shoemakers (Crispianus, by the way, dressed in.
the uniform of a general officer in the British army) ; Ed-,
ward VI. and the shearmen ; a little girl in fiesh tights and'
gauze wings, representing Cupid, behind whom walked
the tailors ; a horseman, with a hatchet on his shoulder,
and the butchers; Henry VIII. and the bricklayers and
builders ; the Black Prince and the hatters and cabinet-
makers; Queen Elizabeth (in • low body, bare arms, and
on horseback) and the hairdressers and bakers ; Vulcan,
in chain armour, and the smiths and ironmongers ; Queen
Catherine (in white kid gloves, and seated in • dog-cart).
and the fiaxdressers ; and, more elaborately got up than
all, Sir Peter Paul Hubens, seated on a waggon, before a
half-finished painting, with • palette on his left thumb
and brush in his right hand, which ever and anon he
rubbed impartially over the palette and applied to the
canvas. He was the property of the painters and minters.
In this order the procession paraded through the chief
streets of the town on their way to Kingsland, where the ,
real business of the show commences. This large plot of
land was covered with tent., and booths of every variety of
the itinerant traders who frequent races and fairs, and an
immense business was carried on throughout the day with
the hungry and thirsty crowd that followed the procession.
A.Tratwr To MURDER. —A most determined at-
tempt upon the life of a young woman was made in
Chapel-street, Stroud, late on Saturday night. The name
of the victim is Annie Weaver, a young woman aged 20, •
girl of mod exemplary character, whose exertions have
supported herself and au imbecile mother. She was assist-
ant at the shop of Mr. Brain, clothes dealer, and for the last
two years had received the addresses of • young man named
Edward Partridge, of exactly her own age. He was • cur-
rier, and till lately worked at Stroud, but had recently re-
moved to Cheltenham. The girl discarded him last Good
Friday on account of his being then partially intoxicated.
en the following Wednesday he went to her place of busi-
ness, and produced a pistol, which he threatened to
shoot her, and would have done so, but was prevented at
some risk by Mr. and Mrs. Brain. Several times since he ,
has come over from Cheltenham and dogged her steps, and
she was in great fear of him. Last Thursday he saw her,
and made what he called a " last appeal," and was finally
rejected. On Saturday night she left work about • quarter
to 11 o'clock, and had about 100 yards to go to her home.
Partridge was waiting at her entrance gate, and when she
got up he first struck her in the face with his hand, and
then fired • pistol at her. As the shot apparently took no
effect, he threw down that pistol and fired • second, and
then immediately ran off over some gardens. The girl just
reached and opened her door and then sank exhausted. The
pistols had each been loaded with two swan shot, and all
four shots entered her side, their force having been greatly
broken by her stays. The intended murderer ran a
cuitous way into the Cheltenham road, throwing away his
secoud pistol into a hedge, and had got well on his way to
Cheltenham. Suddenly he retraced his steps, and as he
neared Stroud met Mr. Superintendent Hanbidge and a
police-officer going along that road. He made himself
known, gave himself up, admitted his guilt, and sail his
intention was to have shot himself with the second pistol if
the first had killed his victim. On Sunday night it was
feared that Weaver was sinking, and at 10 o'clock Mr. Win-
terbotham, a magistrate, attended at her bedside and took
her deposition •, but in the course of the night she became
much better. The prisoner was brought before the magis-
trates yesterday, and remanded to await the condition of
the wounded girl.
THE LEEDO BANKING COMPANY.—Yesterday, at
Leeds, Mr. Edward Greenland, the u qonm manager of
the Leeds Banking Company, which failed da
on the agl9th of
September, 1864, was brought before the magistrates to
answer the charge of having mule Wee half-yearly and
weekly returns of the unstamped notes and bills of ex-
change issued by that bank, in accordance with the 9th of
IV., cap. 21, and the 7th and Bth of Victoria, cap.
The court was crowded, and an excited multitude
waited outside to learn the result of the investigation.
Mr. F. H. Lewis, banister, of London (instructed
by Messrs. North and Sons, of Leeds), conducted
the prosecution on behalf of the Leeds Chamber of Com- •
merce, and proved that the bank was authorised to
circulate 51. notes representing 21,070/., and that the mans- ,
ger had made an affidavit that that was the amount ;
but on the 25th of June, 1864, the actual issue of paper
was to the extent of 26.166/. Basing established this, Mr.
Lewis naked for a remand, but mid on • future occasion
be should be able to prove that for five yean—from 1869
to 1864—every one of the returns made by Greenland to
the Inland Revenue Department was false. He also added
that on some future occasion certain other charges of for-
gery and fraud might be brought against the prisoner. The ,
tea granted • remand until Tuesday the 12th inst..
=1;1= willing to admit the • to bail—himself in
3,0001., and two sureties in 1, . each. We may add that
the cashier of the bank proved that he had called Mr.
Greenland's attention to the fact that there were not sulli-
client notes to enable him to make a proper return to keep
it within the limits, and Greenland told him to take Rank
of England and other notes to make up the deficiency._

GLADSTONE has boldly grappled with the difficul-
ties bequeathed him. The result justifies the
course he has taken. But the propriety of his
conduct is independent of its immediate conse-
quence. It was essential that the Government
should prove the sincerity of its liberal convictions
by staking its tenure of office upon its power of
giving effect to them. If the threatened disrup-
tion of the Liberal party had followed on this
policy, the temporary disorganization would have
been succeeded by firmer and permanent re-con-
solidation.

The conduct of the Government has tended not
only to restore a healthy and energetic liberal
feeling to the Liberal party, but to check the
ethical deterioration which had evidently set in.
The speeches of Mr. Lows mark the decline of po-
litical morality which is inevitable when a party
forgets its principles, or seeks pretexts for evading
its obligations. What is first excused is afterwards
justified. The fact that the doctrines laid
down by the member for Caine were received not
only without protest, but with enthusiastic wel-
come by a large part of the House of Commons,
was in itself a symptom of growing political
laxity. We do not refer to his dislike of popular
self-government, or to his worship of merely ma-
terial greatness, or to the cynicism which inspires
his speeches. These things were very properly
rebuked last night by Mr. COLERIDOZ, in a speech
marked by a purity and elevation of sentiment
which were needed to raise the House of Commons
into a clearer atmosphere than it has lately
breathed. We refer rather to the political
casuistry which Mr. Lows sedulously inculcates,
to his lax sense of the sanctity of pledges, and to
Ins recommendation of something very like sub-
terfuge and evasion in dealing with solemn com-
pacts. It is long since the House of Commons
listened to anything more effective than Mr.
Cozsamoz's protest against these ignoble doc-
trines ; and it was curious to notice the abashed
silence with which the rebuke was received in the
quarters whence Mr. Lows has usually gathered his
most enthusiastic plaudits. The occupants of
the Tory benches had the disconcerted air of cul-
prits. But something more than a vindication in
words of public morality was required ; and the
Government have supplied this something more in
making the understanding which had been in
abeyance for six years as explicit as words could
render it, and in strenuously carrying it out in
action. In the interests of reform their policy
was a sound one ; in the interests of public mo-
rality, and for the redemption of their political

their power, will adopt the suggestion of the minority,
and withdraw the bill for the present session.
The Herald affirms, despite the statement of Mr. Glad.
stone last night, that the government did make prepoci-
dons to Lord Grosvenor and Captain Heyter that 0- ey
would withdrew the bills if the amendment were to.
pressed. Indeed, except upon the assumption that son e
such promise had been given him, the conduct of Lord
Grosvenor is quite unintelligible. The Herold csuinct
think so meanly of the noble lord as to accept his own
explanation of his present support of the government. As
to the rest of the debate, Mr. B. Osborne's speech was
buffoonery ; Mr. Coleridge's was offensive al d
stupid, and Mr. Gladstone was singularly tedious as d
feeble. On the other hand Lord J. Manners made • very
valuable contribution to the elucidation of the subject ;
Mr. Whiteside was happy in his descriptions, Mr.
Disraeli's arguments were of the greatest cogency, and
Lord Echo's remarks were spirited. The bills have gone
into committee, the Herold adds, there to find their doom.
The Star observes that the second great' party contest of
the year terminated last night with an almost unpre-
cedented incident—the retirement from the house of the
mass of the minority. A more abject confession of defeat
could not be conceived, and the scene, striking in itself,
and rendered very stirring by the loud and prolonged
cheering of the triumphant liberals, was all the more re-
markable from the extraordinary contrast it presented to
the result which had been so confidently prophesied and
so sincerely feared. The victory betrayed the house into a
momentary exuberance, a division being taken in sheer
buoyancy of spirit on • question of adjournment ; but
it will convey to the country an abiding sense of gratifi-
cation and hope. The avowal of the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer that the government by no means adhere to the
detail of grouping as essential to the principle of the bill
will probably grieve but few. The satisfactory feat is that
the reduction of the suffrage and the exclusion from redis-
tribution of every element meant to invalidate that exten.
sion of the franchise will continue to be protected by the
full strength of the administration. If the result of last
night's collapse is that the franchise question is disposed
• of in the first instance, and the redistribution left to
another session, the son of the late whipper-in will unin-
tentionally have done • service to the cause of reform.

THE FELLOWS OF COLLEGES DECLARATION BILL.
—This bill stands fora third reading to-morrow, and
Mr. Gathorne Hardy has given notice of opposition,
in which opposition he is, we understand, to have
all the assistance which the conservative party can
possibly render him. That party were, we be-
lieve, mortified as well as disappointed at their
defeat, by a majority of 22, on the sooond reading,
and to-morrow a great effort is to be made to
accomplish that which then proved to be imprac-
ticable. The division will occur at a time when an
unusually large number of members will be in
town, and if the liberals are on the alert they can
easily send the bill up to the Lords by a good
majority ; but it should be understood that negli-
gence on their part may prove fatal to the bill.

PARTS, Julra 5.

The Constitutionnel of this morning says : " We
know already the impression produced in London
and St. Petersburg by the Austrian reply to the in-
vitation to a conference. It was immediately asked,
not without reason, what advantage could
be expected from a Conference, if Aus-
tria persisted in her present determina-
tion. According to tho reservations made
' by that Power two questions would disappear from
the programme. We deeply regret the attitude
assumed by the Vienna cabinet. Without doubt
each Power regards its interest from its own point
of view, but it appears to us that Europe had a
right to expect other determinations from a great
Conservative power.

The French government has sent a note to
Vienna in reference to the reply given by Austria
to the invitation for a Conference. The French
government regrets that this reply must be consi-
dered as a refusal to take part in the Conference,
and therefore as frustrating the efforts for the pre-
servation of peace.

COLONIAL BISHOPRICS. —LETTER PROM MN.
CARDWELL TO THE BISHOP or LoNDoN.—A parliamentary
return issued this morning of correspondence relative to
colonial bishoprics contains the following copy of a letter
addressed by the Colonial Secretary to the Bishop of
London :—" Downing-street, May 23, 1866. My Lord,—
I have received from Secretary Sir George Grey your lord-
ship's letter of the 3rd instant. I have also received and
laid before the Queen the petition enclosed in that letter
which has been addressed to her Majesty by Miss Burdett
Cosine, the munificent founder of more than one of the
existing bishoprics in her Majesty's colonial possessions,
respecting the intricate questions which have arisen out of
the recent judgments of the lords of the Judicial Com-
mittee of the Privy Council in the case of Long v. the
Bishop of Cape Town,' and in the case of the Bishop of
Natal. The effect of those judgments on the status
of colonial bishops and the position of the colonial
church has engaged the anxious consideration of her
Majesty's government,. They are fully sensible of the ad-
vantage which the colonial episcopate derives, and as they
hope will long continue to derive, from its connexion with
the established church of this country, and would readily
adopt soy legitimate means of strengthening that con-
nexion. But it would, in their opinion, be inconsistent
with the settled principles of colonial policy to establish
in the colonies by imperial legislation a prerogative in
respect to ecclesiastical ;ratters which the highest court of
' appeal has declared to have no existence in law. They
have, however, caused a bill to be framed, and to be intro-
duced into parliament, which, without interfering in
matters which fall within the sphere of local legislation,
will, as they hope, have the effect of placing the church
of England at greeter liberty to extend and perpetuate its
ministrations, throughout the colonial empire.—l have,
ke' (Signed) ZDWARD CARDWELL. The Right Rev, the
Lord Bishop of London."
