KLECTOItLL RETURNS EXPENSES.

tar. KEKEWICH asked a question as to the payment
to the clerks of boards of guardians for the additional
trouble and expense they had incurred in preparing the
electoral returns laid on the tablet of the house.
Viscount ENFIELD said the Poor-law Board bad re-
commended that adequate and reasonable remuneration
should be allowed by the icuardians for the extra trouble
given to the clerks, but this extra expense would be paid
by the government, and would not come out of the rates.

Mr. BLAKE asked whether it was the intention of go-

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the go-

guousness of some of the commissioners' conclusions with
the more emphatic declarations of Mr. Cardwell. The

THE GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT

CIIITTISHAM.

(PROM OCR SPECIAL CORRISPOIPORNE.)
ELY, MONDAY MORNING.

Mr. and Mrs. Ambrose Ground, of the Griffin
Hotel, March, who are lying at the Lamb Hotel, Ely, are
happily progressing towards recovery, but Mr. Ground
being a stout, full•habited man of about 50, great fears are
entertained of a relapse. The state of the other passengers
this morning justifies the hope that they will all survive.
The reports from Peterborough, whither the guard and fire-
men have been removed, state that neither of these men
is going on so well as he was. The inquest commenced
this morning at 10 o'clock, at the Shire-hall, Ely, before
Mr. W. Marshall, coroner, and a highly respectable jury.
The jury having been sworn in, proceeded to the scene of
the accident for the purpose of inspecting it, and viewing
the body ; after which they returned to the Shire-hell, sad
proceeded to hear the evidence.

nised as the wife of the prosecutor, to hint respect-

agreement. The prisoner inquired if the locality was
healthy, saying he wanted the house for his wife and
family. Some goods were afterwards brought to the house
iu one of Pickford's vans.
It was here stated that this was all the evidence that
could then be produced, but that at the next examination
witnesses wouldbe produced from Birmingham who would
prove the removal of the furniture by the Prisoner, and
that he and the wife and children had left together.
Mr. Trail having ordered the prisoner to be remanded,
The prosecutor inquired whether he could not claim the
custody of the children as he considered his wife a most
improper person to have charge of them.
Mr. Trail said there could be no doubt the prosecutor
had a legal right to take charge of the children.
The prosecutor's wife here became so violent in her
language, declaring that the children should not be taken
from her, that by order of the magistrate she was removed
from the court.
Inspector Warren said the wife was a moat violent
woman, and had taken up a poker to attack him and her
husband, hut the poker was wrested from her.
The prisoner was then removed in custody.

CHINA.

The North China Daily News states that fresh
disturbances have taken place at Nanking. The
Nienfei have assembled in considerable force in
the upper portion of this province, and are even
said to have penetrated within sixty miles of the
northern bank of the Yangtze, opposite Chin-
keang. This, if it be correct (says the Overland
Cana Mail), is a rather serious announcement, as
it implies their presence in the heart of the
salt districts. It had been considered that
Lihungchang, with his disciplined troops,
possessed sufficient force to crush any rebel
army that could assemble against him, and
that, though much damage might have been done
before the arrival of his troops at the scene of
action, their success was certain. The event, how-
I ever, has not justified these anticipations. Whe-
ther well or ill-disciplined, his troops are com-
manded by men who are utterly ignorant of the
simplest word of command, and the defeat which
they have incurred was, under these circumstances,
inevitable. They have lost several guns and a
large number of Enfield rifles ; the prestige of
the rebels has advanced correspondingly, and the
confidence of the population in their protectors has
been shaken.

Private letters from Peking state that matters in
the north are in a very disturbed state. A cor-
respondent says :
Kansuh is apparently hopelessly lost to Chins, and a
Mahomedan rule is established there. Brigandage conti-
nues rife in Manchuria, and Wen &sing with his disci-
plined troops has gained no great enema. The rebels are
well mounted. and lilt about amongst the hills, keeping out
of his way, and creating the greatest confusion in that
part of the empire. The Mongolian frontier, especially
towards Ku-pei is also infested by banditti, which
renders travelling in that part of the country extremely
unsafe.

Small-pox is prevalent in Peking. One Euro-
pean, viz., Mr. Henning, student interpreter at
the Russian legation, had died of it. No other
deaths amongst the foreign residents are recorded.
The weather in Peking had been extremely warm,
the thermometer ranging about 100 Fahrenheit.

At Hong Kong there had been a week of mo-
netary excitement. The Agamemnon, which ar-
rived on the 29th June, brought news of the sus-
pension of the Agra and Masterman's Bank, and
the manager of the Hong Kong branch immediately
issued a notification to the effect that the estab-
lishment would temporarily close, so far as issue
was concerned. The Chinese became greatly
alarmed, and with a good many Europeans made a
run on the other banks. The Oriental is said to
have behaved in a very creditable manner, by
cashing the paper of one or two other banks, and
this went far to reassure the frightened holders.
All danger of a rush was thought to be over, but
great inconvenience would result from the stoppage
of the Agra.

WISCULANSOCS TOPICS.

The Bishop of Oxford, says the Post, is one of the most
active, as he is incomparably the most able, of all our per-
latea. He seems to be always consecrating churches, holding
confirmations, gathering together clergy, lecturing school-
masters, speaking in parliament, leading in convocation,
attending scientific meetings, advocating church questions
from a popular platform, preaching a large number of
charity sermons in London every season, writing books of
his own and prefaces to books by other people, review-
ing in the Quarterfy, attending public dinners, and
visiting in London society—to all which must be added
the ceaseless grind of an interminable correspondence.
With regard to his address at Lewes on Tuesday last on
the subject of spiritual destitution in great cities, the
Post is of opinion that it is not new institutions that we
want, but an extension of the old. We want mom clergy
of simple lives and earnest powers of speech ; more visit-
ing amongst the poor ; more working of benevolent in-
stitutions ; more woman's work ; and more schooling.
And If these agencies be helped on by the sanitary in-
spector, and an improved administration of the poor law,
though we may never entirely get rid of spiritual destitu-
tion we shall at least reduce it to a minimum and effect
a blessed change in the condition of those who are now at
once the victims and the outcasts of our advanced civilisa-
tion.

The Times, referring to the open air gathering on Friday
last of the poor people who have been turned out of house
and home by the Holborn Valley improvements, says it is
impossible to describe the hardship inflicted on the poorby
these luminary evictions. They are already so crowded in
all the central portions of London, that even where their
houses are not disturbed they have the utmost difficulty in
finding shelter. The Times is not surprised that these un-
fortunate victims of modern improvements have at length
raised their voices in self-defence. The principle embodied
in their resolutions is so far from being seriously disputed
that an act was passed last session in which the duty is
practically enforced, and its performance is greatly
facilitated.

DEATH 07 THE EARL OF CRAVEN. —The Earl of
Craven died on Saturday afternoon at the Royal Hotel,
Scarborough, after a short illness, arising from an attack
of parodying. The late Right Hon. William Craven, Berl
of Craven, county York, Viscount Uffington and Baron
Craven, of Hiunstecd Marshall, county Berke, in the
age of the United Kingdom, was the eldest son of
first earl, by Louisa, fifth daughter of Mr. James Braaten,
a lady who achieved a high reputation on the stage prior
to her marriage. The deceased nobleman was Urn
July 18, 1809, and consequently Chad recently completed
his fifty-seventh year.

ELECTION COMMISSIONS.

GREAT YARMOUTH.
The inquiry warn resumed on Saturday.
John Walsh, a hatter, received from Mr. Downing a
number of tickets, which were to be given to certain per-
sona in oonaideration for their votes. This was on behalf
of the liberals. He understood the tickets were worth
15i. each.

Mr. T. Downing, a fish merchant, went to Walsh be-
PLUM he knew he always had money every time he voted
—(laughter)---and gave him a ticket for himself. Witness
wrote the ticket himself, and they were marked A, B, or
C—A meaning 101., B, 151., and C, 201. (Laughter.) There
were very few tickets. He had formerly been a
conservative, but had changed his politics for private
reasons. One voter was " sugared " twice by the conserva.
tires and once by the liberals. (Laughter.) He had from
90 to 100 voters on his list. There were about 500
" doubtful" voters in Yarmouth and Gorieston.
T. B. Edwards, a tailor, was also employed to distribute
tickets. He stated that be only gave five tickets away,
but mentioned the names of a greater number of persons
who received them from him, and, upon being threatened
by the chief commissioner, gave the names of about 20
voters to whom he handed tickets.

Mr. J. C. Marshman, a member of several East Indian
Railway boards, said he was introduced to the constituency
of Yarmouth by Mr. Watkin. When Lord Russell pro-
posed some years ago to enfranchise Stalybridge, he ad-
dressed the inhabitants as a candidate, and he was also a
candidate for Ipswich in 1857, for Harwich in 1839, and
for Idarylebone in 1881. A short time before the last
election Mr. Watkin asked him whether he was willing to
contest Yarmouth with Mr. Brogden, and he assented pro-
vided certain arrangements were made. He retired on
account of the unsatisfactory state in which he
found the constituency, inure than 300 voters being consi-
dered doubtful. One of the voters said, " I tun ready to
lay down my life for Jesus Christ, but I do not consider
it a sin to take money for my vote." (Laughter.) Mr.
Watkin told him the probable expense of the election
would be 700/. or 8001.; nothing was said about illegal
expenses. He thought that as 400 or 500 persons bad been
disfranchised there would be a pure election for the
future. (Laughter.) He pit down the 300 who would not
promise as venal, and some he marked " V.V.," very
venal. (Laughter.)
At the conclusion of Mr. hlarshman's evidence the com-
mittee adjourned.

MR. BRIGHT IN IRELAND.

ltruiking Mr. Bright's oration on the wrongs of
Ireland as among the happiest of his recent efforts, the
Ti Ill! proceeds to observe that the weak point in it, as is
usual with his speeches, is the want of connection between
the wrong and the remedy. There would be justice, there
might be expediency, in abolishing the church of a
minority supported by a uniform charge upon land. But
does anyone believe that such a measure, whatever be its
merits, would really have any important effect on Irish
prosperity ! His remedy as to the land is the retrograde
proposal to curtail the liberty of individuals. Absenteeism
and the accumulation of largo properties in few hands
are the result of unrestricted personal liberty, of acquisi-
tions by the provident and of alienations by the reckless,
and the cry that is raised against them in the name of
liberalism is really a cry for the restriction of the rights
now enjoyed by the individual citizen, and for pushing the
dictation of the State into the management of every man's
private affairs. The real cause of the poverty of Ireland
is the excess of her own population, and there is no hope
for her prosperity until this population is reduced to the
amount she can fairly support. The reformed parliament
which should adopt the suggestions of Mr. Bright would
give a signal specimen of its incapacity, and add another
proof that legislation restrictive of individual liberty,
though powerless to attest, is very potent to increase the
calamities of nations.

The Post thinks that Mr. Bright in his proposed schemes
has gone beyond the expectations of the Irish people
themselves ; and that his visit will only tend to diminish the
good feeling that exists between the owners and occupiers
of land. Moreover, his political reputation mm,t suffer
from the imperfect acquaintance which he betrays of the
past history and actual condition of the inhabitants of the
Emerald Isle.

Observing that Mr. Bright's suggestion as to the land
seems to have bewildered most of its contemporaries, the
Stir proceeds to argue that the principle of the boa
gentleman's proposal is not in antagonism with any prin-
ciple of political economy known to human intelligence.
The Nor 3 having observed that to compel
the sale of land for the purpose of a railway, or
a gas company, or other public association, is a very dif-
ferent thing from the forced transfer of it from one private
individual or from one class to another—the Star asks
where is the difference—supposing the transfer to have in
each case a public purpose? To take land from its
owners and give it to a board of railway directors is " the
forced transfer of it from one individual, or one class, to
another," and is only to be justified by just the very same
public purpose as that on which Mr. Bright founds Lis
proposal—or rather, indeed, by a public purpose infinitely
less important.

The influx of government deposit has been more
than counterbalanced by withdrawals of private
deposits, but as, in consequence of the Bank's
charge being greatly above that current in the
general market, the loan and discount business has
again fallen off considerably, a further addition of
more than a quarter of a million has been made to
the reserve. The income° of 346,2381. in the coin
and bullion is likewise satisfactory, because it ex-
ceeds by about 46,0001. the amount of gold known
to have been gained by the Bank on the import
and export transactions of the week.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

The Herald describes the new Papal allocutions as having
the older and nobler papal stamp, preserving the dignity of
the Pope, and placing his enemies in greivous perplexity.
The Pope out of Rome would be a much greater difficulty
than any that Italy has, had. His departure would have for
its immediate consequence a much greater discontent in
Rome itself than now prevails in spite of every effort to
generate it. Now that they know the Pope will leave
Rome if disturbed in the exercise of his temporal autho.
rity, both France and Italy will do their utmost to prevent
such a disturbance and deprive the Pope of all pretexts
for taking a step which would so greatly embarrass them.
The wish of the Herald, as the conservative organ, is
that Rome may preserve its metropolitan character and
, the temporal power.
If the Pope, the Pod says, consults the welfare of the
eharch he will remain in Rome, and lose no time in
coaling to an understanding with Italy. It is neither
wise nor safe to call upon a community to cheese between
irreconcilable and antagonistic duties, and, while the
Italians have no cause to be impatient, there are limits to
the forbearance whicii they have honourably and prudently
observed.

The Herald thinks it would be a graceful act on the part
of the Ottoman government if, after accepting the sub.
mission of the Cretans, it were voluntarily to accord to

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

BADEN.

The Upper Chamber of Carlsruhe has adopted
unanimously a motion in favour of the adhesion of
the Grand Duchy of Baden to the Northern Con-
federation, while at the same time expressing a
wish that the duchy should preserve its separate
existence. The same body next voted, with the
exception of a minority of three members only, in
favour of an offensive and defensive alliance with
Prussia, and for the conclusion of a military con-
vention in that sense with the cabinet of Berlin.
The assembly next carried unanimously motions in
favour of a permanent commercial, railway, and
telegraphic union, and for the creation of a common
right of citizenship for all Germany.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Nov. 1.
(Before Hr. Commissioner Winslow.)
IN RE LORD HMIET LOFTUS.
The bankrupt, Henry Yorke Astley Loftus, commonly
called Lord Henry Loftus, described himself as late of
Dawson-atrest, Dublin, and since of several addresses in
London, of no occupation. lie states that his bankruptcy
is attributable to the Fenian disturbances in Ireland,
Nage-
-1 ther with the money panic, through which he was unable
to obtain the purchase money from a company formed and
registered for the purchase anl working of his intend in
a valuable slate quarry in Ireland, which he had arranged
to sell them, and expenses incidental thereto.
This was an adjourned meeting for examination and

discharge.
The accounts show debts and liabilities of about 7,700 i.
against property given up to the assignees 10,000/ bi . bait?
the estimated value of the elate quarry. The nkru
(with the assistance of Messrs. Dubois and Newstead, e
accountants) has also rendered a voluminous cash account;
and in reference to a sum of 300/. per year received by
him, he states that the same is not secured, but is allowed
him by the Marquis of Ely for managing his estates.
Mr. Chidley appeared for the assignees ; Mr. Reed for
creditors; and Mr. Bagley for the bankrupt.
Mr. Chidley said he was not instructed to offer any op-
position. There was little doubt but that the bankrupt's
present position was owing to the recent disturbances
which unhappily had existed in Ireland.
His Honour—l see the bankrupt returns as an asset a
slate quarry in Ireland Raid to be of the value of 10,0001.
Is there any prospect of that property being made available
for the creditors?
Mr. Chidley stated that the property was very valuable,
and the assignees felt that the bankrupt would be more
advantageously employed in assisting them to realise it,
and therefore they did not desire to keep him unneces-
sarily before the court.
Mr. Reed said be was not instructed to oppose, provided
the bankrupt would undertake to assist his assignees in
the realisation of the property, and answer a few questions
relative to any interest he might possess under his wife's
settlement.
The bankrupt was then sworn and examined. He said
that in the year 1464 he married the Countess of &afield.
A settlement of the property of the countess was then
executed, but he took no interest whatever thereunder.
Mr. Reed—Will you pledge yourself to assist the aasig-
nees to the best of your ability to realise the property in
Ireland ?
Lord Loftus—Yes ; most willingly.
Mr. Bagley, who supported, was not called upon.
His Honour granted an immediate and unconditional
order of discharge.
