THE ELECTION COMMISSIONS.

The commissions met again on Saturday, to heat
st'll further evidence of bilbely and treating at elections.
At Lancaster Mr. Edward Rawon, an attorney, deposed
to basing voted for Fens Mk and Schneider, and to re-
ceiv'ng 101. for doing so. After hearing other wilnesass,
the Chief Commissioner stated that at their rising the
co-nir uloners intended t, adjourn until such time as the..
me ;ht hereafter Bt. Oa Friday, Mr. Fenwick, ea he hr a
prom', d, appeared to make an explanatory statement. He
first protestedagainst having been treated differently to
Mr. Lawrence, who bad been summoned and sworn' and
then proceeded to make hie statement, He denied that
the money which he bad advanced had been given for
illegal puoaes, and said that he expressly remarked when
he handed over the 1,0001. which he first paid to Mr.
Wearing, the gentlemen who received it, " I give you this
1,0001 for the legal expenses." There was, in fact, no wow
uty for him to bribe, as his chances were sufficdentiy
good without it. Mr. Fenwick added that Mr. H. T.
Wilson bad been mistaken in much of the evidence he
had given which bore against him, and it seemed that
he had spent altogether 1,5001. He disclaimed
any knowledge of the secret committee-room of which the
oom&ssioners had heard. Mr. Schneider, true to his
pledge that he would not attend without being summoned,
did not appear. At Totnes' on Friday, Mr. John Heath
wished to be allowed to read a statement in answer to the
ohm rations made by the Chief Commissioner. On
i Tuesday last the Chief Commissioner said they could
only hetir a statement of facts ; they could have no
controversy as to the opinion they bad ai.ived at.
Mr. Heath aid there was • tuserepancy with repel
to William Mitchell. It was imai,.ned that he had
received 801. from one of witness's eons, bet Mitchell's
es :dance was that be had reor ved 501. from witness
room in wt"cb there was a ge itleman by a Aneas's aide.
I The Clef Commiuloner said that was a discussion upon
! evidence which they could not allow. Mr. Heath denied
that he had tampered with his servants in any way, as had
been imputed to him by the commissioners, and he wished
them all to be examined again. With regard to the state-
ment that there was • deficiency of 1,7001., Mr. Edmonds
bad acknowledged receiving 3,5001., and witness had mo-
duoed vouchers for 5001., which made a total of 4,0001. Col.
Deakins sad kis solicitorhadexpressed themselves satisfied.
The Chief Commissioner told Mr. Heath that 4,0001 came
into his handa, and only 2,300 f. had been accounted for by the
distribution of bribes ; there was therefore atalanoe of 1,7001.
which somebody must account for. There must have been
a person who distributed it, and who that person was it
was for him (Mr. Heath) to discover, Mr. Huth replied
that he had nothing to do with handling money to be dis-
h:bated by Screech and Evans. He could give no further
evidence as to the identity of the stranger. On Saturday,
after hea:ng still further evidence, the commissioners
adjourned until the 25th inst.

SAXONY.

The royal Treasury of Saxony, to the amount of
37 millions of florins, is still at Munich. The
Saxon employes who took it there, and to whose
guardianship it is confided, and who consist of
four cashiers, four clerks, and another, have been
expecting for the last week instructions to take the
treasure back to Saxony, and if a Vienna journal is
well informed, theywill not have longto wait, as it is
stated dud the militaryconvention between Prussia
and Saxony is now before King William for ratifi-
cation. The essential stipulations are that the
Saxon army shall be placed under the ooramand-in-
chief of the King of Prussia, and organised after
the Prussian system ; the army is moreover LI be
raised from 22,000 to 40,000 men. The con-
vention will be brought into execution by the
Ist of next July, at the latest. Up to that time
the fortress of Kcenigatein will have a mixed
garrison, but Dresden will be evacuated by the
Prussians. The hardest stipulation seems to be
that which gives to Prussia the right to occupy
Saxony, if necessary, even in time of peace. The
negotiations for peace itself will not commence
until after the ratifications for this military con-
vention are exchanged.

LETTER OP JOHN MITCHEL.

The Opinion Nationale oOntalue a long letter from
John Mitchel, which Is assent is be a repay to a eta*
meet of M. Z. Percale in the Revue des Deux Monde( of
the Ist Febtusry, "that Iretand has been admitted 10
alt the ltbert es which England enjoys.' After noticing
the habit of certain Fr such publicists to derive their infor-
mation on Irish rffairs from English sources, Mr. Mitchel
cato.es a loog entrant from the programme of the
National Aseccia.lea of Irsl-nd for the purpose
of showing that Ireland hes distinct sod peculiar
grounds of complaint. Re then goes on to say that if the
Irish people had the sons power which is enjoyed by the
people of England of electing delegates and meeting in
convention, their first act would be a declaration of lade-
peedence—tbat if the Irish people were allowed, like the
people of England, to unite mad arm as volunteers, they
would support such a declaration by force of arms—that in
point of fact each an army of whist:sere proclaimed the
psdepeodessee and sovereignty of the nation and
maintained that iodepeedence for 18 years—that
if the Irish people were allowed, like the people
of England, to possess arms and to Irani the use
of them, the first thing they would do would be to
exterminate the English ganisoes—that if the Irish people
had the right to be judged, like the people of England, by
twelve of their pews and neighbours selected impartially
sad anwriling blew, it would be impossible for the English
government to promo a coevietiou for any offence against
the gown sad goventment of Ragland, that is to ...
that the rule of that goversmect le Ireland would co longer
exist. " &oh," says Mr. Mitchel, "in conclusion, is the
imperative necessity under which the English find them.
selves obliged, is order to preserve the British empire, to
maintain sad perpetuate in Ireland this exe3ptiossal rule,
the morality and justice of which I shall sot pow deems.

REPLY OF THE HUN3ARIAN DIET TO
THE IMPERIAL RESCRIPT.

1)88T11, 11Asou 14.

The draft of the address of the Lower House of
the Hungarian Diet in reply to the Imperial re-
script was only read to the house to-day, in conse-
quence of a difference of opinion having arisen
among the members of the committee. The address
deplores not only the rejection of all requests of
the house, but also the suspension of those laws
which required no modification. It states that if
his Majesty does not intend to govern absolutely,
a constitutional state of affairs must be prac-
tically re-established. All the various points
of the Imperial reseript are controverted,
and the re-establishment of parliamentary
and legal municipal government is again de-
manded. Hungary, it is stated, requires a real
constitutional rule, the establishment of which
is not a political impossibility. The draft
of the address was agreed to amid general ap-
plause. All the members of the house rose and
loudly cheered Herr Desk. The debate will com-
mence on blondamext. The committee appointed
to negotiate with the deputation from the Croatian
Diet will be elected on Saturday.

In the Corps Legidatif yesterday the opposition
again succeeded in modifying the wording
of the address. The committee agreed to
insert words which satisfied the authors of
M. Gull',gamin's amendment, implying that the
pending inquiry on agriculture was to be proceeded
with as quickly as possible. M. Berryer made a
speech in support of an amendment designed to
give more point to the paragraph relating to the
inking fund, but it was the opinion even of many
members of the opposition that this question el*
not properly belong to the address, and should be
reserved for the debate on the budget. The amend-
ment was negatived withoat a division.
Prince Napoleon has not yet arrived in Paris,
and is now not expected till Saturday. It is said

AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA.

VIENNA, MARCB 14.

The Morgenpost of to-day says that Austria and
Prussia intend to avert soy conflict on account of
Schleswig-Holstein, by bringing the question before
the Federal Diet.

PRUSSIA AND THE DUCHIES.

RENDSBUIIO, MARCH 14.

General von Mantenffel, governor of Schleswig-
Holstein, has published a decree of the King of
Prussia, by which any attempt to establish by
forcible means any other authority in the Duchies
than that of his Majesty and the Emperor of
Austria is made punishable by imprisonment with
bard labour for a period of from five to ten years.
All acts that may be considered as directed to
such an object, any endeavours toestablish relations
with foreign powers for the purpose of causing their
intervention, and any abuse of official authority
committed in order to prepare a change of govern-
ment, and finally the enlistment or drilling of men, I
are punishable by imprisonment with hard labour
for from two to five years. The decree further states
that any instigation to rebellion, by word or
writing, or the designation of any other person than
the King of Prussia or the Emperor of Austria as
the rightful sovereign of the country, will to
punished by imprisonment for a period of from
three months to five years.

to give a definitive character to the concessions pro-
visionally made by Turkey in 1861. " The Con-

THE LAMBETH CASUAL WARDS.

TO TEI LD/TOB 07 TEI UPSON.

Sta,—Allow me to testify to the fidelity of your
description of the casual wards—certified and un-
certified—of the pariah of Lambeth. I also visited
the workhouse there last Wednesday night, and
had pleasure in giving my testimony in the visitors'
book to the excellent arrangements of the casual
wards, whose inmates appeared to be well cared for.
Half an hour later the scene was reversed, and I
witnessed what I must designate as most revolting.
Naked men and boys huddled together, without the
pretence of decency, in the wretched room of the
lodging-house, afforded a strong and painful con-
trast with the previous scene of the certified ward,
and was calculated to make thinking men ask
whether the time has not come for remodelling the
parochial system, however beset with difficulties,
to the advantage of the State.—l am, dec.,

WEATHER REPORT. -(THIS DAY.)

&MIMI, JA2(8•18 87, 8 A.X.
London, England, 1866-01-27

FRENCH TINAICI.

The Times gives a sketch of the present position and pro-
spects of French finance, as detailed in the annual report of
N. Fould. The year 1864, which was to have shown ►
financial equilibrium, reveals a deficiency, so far as it can
at present be ascertained, of about 2,000,0001. Bat the
budget of 1865, it is hoped, will be in eguilibrio. The loss
from the ule, from time to time, of the unhappy Mexican
bonds, iaterfores materially with the balance of receipts and
expeaditure. H. Fould has not yet been able to make up
the accounts for 1866, bat there is hope that it will show
progressive redaction, unless some suspicion be

. _
thrown on the Mexican indemnity which forms part of the
revenue. It is in 1867, when the reduction in the army
comes into operation, that a surplus is to appear. The
present estimate of the latter is 198,000/. ; but as the
rectificatory budget bas still to be brought forward, and
the amount of it depends upon the solution of the Mexican
question, or, as we may say, upon the maintenance of
peace throughout the world for the next two years, it

TIM TRIAL OF MR. GORDON.

The Times prints this morning the account of the arrest
of Mr. Gordon, written by Mr. Bo werbank, custos of Kings-
town, who himself, under the governor's order, took Gor-
don into custody. This description gives us the idea of the
state of feeling in the island ; everybody who had any-
thieg to do with the maintenance of order fully believing
that Jamaica was in the greatest danger, end that Gor-
don was the cause. Yet it must be understood that there
are grave doubts as to his guilt, wbieh people,
high and low, white sod black, appear to have
taken for granted. No one will deny that there
were grenade for arresting him ; the fatal mistake was i•
seeding him to a spot where he could not communicate
with the persons who might have given evidence in his
favour, and then bringing him suddenly before a court-
martial to answer for a capital crime. A man whom every-
body in • moment pointed to as a traitor and murderer

Advises received here from Bombay give an ac-
count of disturbances which bad taken place at the
end of December in the valley of Loond Kar, on
the frontier of the Punjsub.
The inhabitants of three important villages
entered the English territory, and after committing
various acts of pillage immediately re-crossed the
frontier. The robbers were pursued by the English
troops, and the booty recovered. The three vil-

TM BUICLIM OP ADMIRAL PAWL.

The Daily News, after pointing out that Admiral Pareja
eras a hero of the Spanish type, depicted by Cervantes, in
• Duel Quixote," observes that the choice of such au
officer for this particular service was the most wantonly and
culpably imprudent one that could have been made, due
probably to the evil dream of nuns, confessors, and court
favourites of destroying the ancient colonies of Spain, sad
" revindicating" the rights of the crown. The poor
admiral threw into the enterprise all the ardour and
experience of a personal and hereditary feud, and all the
fanatical tenacity of • axed delusion —namely, that the
opaque t of Chili was indispensable to the restoration
of Spanish enpreme/y in the Southern Ocean. When
at the scene of the crusade he found the Chilies' laughing
at his blockade, Peru making common cause against him,
the naval powers of Europe opposed to his pretensions, and
the Milted States flag hailed as a deliverer, no wonder he
confidently admitted to the American Minister that he had
made a mistake. The capture of one of his blockading
squadron just after his boasting proclamation to his fleet
overpowered him ; he retired to his state-room, and shot
himself through the heed. What the next episode in this
sorry business is to be will depend perhaps, should Spain
unwisely persevere, on other agencies than hers.
The Pose is at • lose to understand why the Madrid
press should furiously insist that the character of the
hostilities with Chili must be seriously changed because
an armed despatch boat has been lost. Madrid seems to
be unanimous in demanding that some terrible act of
vengeance should be visited on the Chilians for their
presumption. The Pose trusts that the governments of
England and France will not neglect to address such repre-
sentations to the Spanish government as may induce it to
rest contented with those coercive measures by which,
until now, it has sought to obtain redress.
The Telegraph hopes that O'Donnell will resist the
choleric and petulant outburst of resentment which the
destruction of the Covadonga in Chilies waters, and the
suicide of Admiral Pareja have elicited from his ignorant
and excitable countrymen. For Spain at this moment to
court foreign war would be an insanity which O'Donnell's
proverbial common sense will teach him to combat and
eschew.

MI REFORM AGITATION.

The Herald is amused by the various excuses which the
parliamentary representatives of the Yorkshire liberals
make for their intended absence from the reform de-
monstration at Woodhouse Moor, and sums up by saying
whatever else may be "demonstrated" on Woodhouse
Moor, we have already ►bundant reason for concluding
that nothing is, or will be, more apparent than the reluc-
tance,
even of those who ars constrained by fear of a pos-
sible defection from the ranks of their supporters, to pro-
fess a sympathy with • movement they at heart dislike,
and from which they take every possible opportunity of
dissociating themselves.
The Post declares a conspicuous feature in the demon-
strations to be the absence of spontaneity. They are got
up sari :tanked with remarkable assiduity. The radicals
have made agitation a s,ence. In their hands it is a pro-
fession which, if not lucrative, ht laborious. The principle

as important for the promise which they give, that there
will speedily be a friendly and potent co-operation among
the leading sections of reformers, and such a co-operation
win be the herald of victory. The best measure at present
is that which happens to be the most practicable ; and, in
any event, a really mound and good plan, even though mo.
derate, will be the most fitting preparative for that further
progress which every improvement of our constitution has

THE POLICY OF RUSSIA IN THE EAST.

The Correspondence Busse, after questioning the
disinterestedness of the Western States, and assert
ing that of Russia, as to the Hellenic movement,
promises the assistance of Russia to all the
Christian populations of Turkey if they arc desirous
of achieving their own enfranchisement :

Those (it says) who know Russia know that we make
no opposition to the realisation of this project, if it exists.
We have often repeated, and we say still, that all terri-
torial acquisition is useless, and that our sole desire is the
wellbeing, the liberty, of the populations which are allied
to our country by blood and by religion. Our mission in
the affairs of the East is sacred ; it consists in taking care
that the independence of the populations shall be real,
and shall not serve as the instrument of the ambition of
one power. The action of Russia is free, and it is in that
that she is distinguished. She is ready to say to her co-
religionists, " I am ready to aid you to the utmost extent
of my power in your legitimate arpirations. If you are
satisfied with your condition Russia is content ; but if
sooner or later you believe you have been deceived in your
expectations you will find always in me a support strong
and sincere."

The Matte of Vienna, discussing the same topic,
urges the revision of the treaty of Paris as the only
way of meeting the danger. It insists that the
obstacles to the development of the maritime
power of Russia in the Black Sea should be re
moved, and that the provinces in which the
Christian population are in the great ma-
jority should be formed into a sort of Con-
federation under the suzerainty of the Porte,
to whom it should pay a certain tribute, the popu-
lations enjoying complete self-government.
