NISCILLANSOUS TOPICS.

The boroughs in the hands of the Election Commissioners,
observes the Times, are running a hard race, but Yarmouth
wins. For completeness, unity, and general effect, there
is nothing like the story of that town.
In another article, the Times draws upon a London
letter, which, it seems has appeared in a New York paper,
condemning the meetings in Hyde Park, with a view of
showing that the advice of the highest authorities in
America would be to contract the suffrage rather than
extend it.

Commenting on the troubles in Victoria, the Times
again condemns the conduct of Sir C. Darling, and applauds
his removal from office.

The Daily New replies to a correspondent, Mr. Simcox,
of Queen's College, Oxford, who takes the oltramontane
view of Irish university education, and again opposes
the scheme of the late government, which proposed to
unite in the senate of the Queen's University and in its
board of examiners representatives of the conflicting prin-
ciples of mixed and separate education.
Mr. Bright's contemplated visit to Dublin, and the
Toomer cue, supply the Post with subjects for discussion.
With regard to the former the Post tells Mr. Bright what
he ought to say to the Irish people, and as to the latter
it contends that Mr. Walpole has taken the only course
consistent with his true constitutional position as a
minister of the crown.

The Star and Telegraph take up Archbishop Manning's
attack on Protestantism at Belmont. The former is
struck with wonder at the extraordinary fact that so able,
so highly educated, so earnest a man as Dr. Manning, can
really bring himself to believe, even in a moment of reli-
gious exaltation, that the vital power of proteatantism i.
not greater now over the world than it ever was from the
first impulse of the Reformation. Where scepticism or
infidelity largely gains, it gains, as in Italy and France, upon
catholicism and not upon proteatantism. Dr. Manning
misinterprets the meaning of the internal differences among
protestants, which very often simply prove the vital prin-
ciple of the essential element of protestantism. The
Telegraph sees in Dr. Manning's definition of the tempora
power of the Pope, in which he makes no claim for the
Pontiff at all inconsistent sith the surrender of Rome to
the kingdom of Italy, that min xir- of preparation in the
precincts of the Vatican which indicates the beginning of
the end.

TIM OrIiNA.V =VOLUTION.

Describing the interview of the Hanoverian de-
putation with the King of Prussia as painfully affecting,
and noting with something of ridicule the assertion of the
King that all has been done by Divine interposition,
whereas the force in the background has bean German
nationality—the Tiffin gone on to express its regret that
the arguments which militated against the separate exist-
ence of Hanover, are not equally applied to all the other
northern Oates of the German Confederation, and
especially to Saxony. As it is, Saxony must put up with
that humiliating position for which Hanover has been so
earnestly and so vainly supplicating ; and if Prussia plead
the necessity of self-defence in her dealings with Hanover,
it is a marvel that any consideration should deter her from
the far more necessary annexation of Saxony.
The Daily News points out that though we are per-
petually hearing statements or rumours respecting minis-
terial changes at Vienna, in no country in Europe on this
side Russia and Turkey is so little account made of the
opinions of the statesmen who stand before the world as
advisers of the crown as in Austria, and to this fact is to
be attributed the unsteadiness which a" who approach the
Austrian government find in its conduct. Ministers accept
office, and give advice, and see it over.-uled by some mem-
ber of the Emperor's household, and hold their portfolios
just uif nothing extraordinary had happened. There 's
good reason to believe that the war with Prussia was due
to the exercise of influence of this kind. In Vienna it is
no secret that both Count Mensdorff and Count Maurice
Esterhazy were strenuously opposed to the war with Prus-
sia, and that as late as a fortnight before the outbreak of
hostilities the Emperor Francis Joseph did not himself
believe war with Prussia to be possible. If the opinions
and judgments of the responsible statesmen of the Empire
are to continuo to be set aside on the suggestion of some
equerry or court chamberlain, the consequence must be
that the Emperor's government will lose the consideration
it enjoys in Europe, and its most loyal subjects will be
struck with despair.
The fate of Hanover, in the view of the Post, does but
foreshadow the fate of every Getman state that stands
between Primsia and the realisation of her dominating
idea.

The Herald deeply regrets that the petition of the Hano-

verian deputies should have been unavailing. The King is
acting towards his unhappy neighbour with exceptional
severity,—making the iron enter deeply and visibly into
the souls of those be has subdued.

THE JOURNALS KILLED DURING THE

GERMAN WAR.

The correspondent of the Tempo finishes a com-
rdunication dated from Baden, Sept. 4, as follows :
I do not know if Germany sill arrive at her
unity, but she Ku undoubtedly lost her liberty.
Amongst the victims of the late war we must first
reckon the lows of the liberal press. The follow-
ing is a "st of the journals killed in the cam-
paign of Russian Cserr:am:—Beobaeh✓:r an de► Elbe,
Deutsche Reichs-ZePung, Frond-furter Post-Zeitung,
Frandfurter Reform, Nese FranckJur:er.Zaitang, Hessen-

And this list is far from being complete.
The Berlin correspondent of the same journal
says it is affitmod that the negotiations between
Prussia and Saxony have taken amore favourable
turn, that King John has consented to yield to the
Prussian demands, and that he has resolved to
abdicate.

ROM.

A letter from Rome, in the Salta Public of 1
Lyons, says :
The Holy Father and all the cardinals have received by
post a small pamphlet, printed at Naples, with the title,
"The Truth to Pins IX." The author is If. Bertocchini,
of Rome, late Brother of the Christian Schools, who has
been to Naples with his family ; he presents for the Roman
question four combinations : namely, an armed invasion,
an interior revolution, • slow agony, and an accord with
the King of Italy. According to him, the armed invasion
will not take place, for Italy has undertaken, by
the Convention of the 15th September, to res.
peat the frontiers of the Roman State ; an interior
revolution is very possible and facile, and would
render ines :table the fall of the temporal power of the
Holy See, if the Pope, doing violence to his evangelical
character, should attempt to stifle it by • prompt and
sanguinary repression ; a slow agony would be too humi-
liating for the Pontifical government. That is why 81.
Bertocchini concludes that there is nothing else to be
done but to come to terms with the King of Italy, and
show himself once more the Pope of 1848. This pamphlet
is making much noise in the circles of the Pontifical party;
the author states he has written it from devotedness
to the Papacy, and adds that the Roman clergy, and
particularly the good ecclesiastics who have the direction
6 of the congregation at the church of the Peace, can give
testimony as to his moral and religious conduct.

—A meeting of proprietors and agents of the Deem mi

fended the conduct of Mr. Vida, the magistrate, who had
committed Mr. Ferguson upon what was supposed to be
the dying declaration of the pelieemaa. He denied, how-
ever, that Mr. Sheridan bad men a correct version of the
affair, as he was informed that the detective had pro-
deigned himself to be • policeman, end had exhibited his
staff as the emblem of his authority. He had no objection
to give • ropy of the ohmage sheet, and also of the intim-
!ions to detectives, but not the other returns moved for.

SUPPLY.

The house then went into committee of supply, and re-
sumed the consideration of the army estimates.
The following votes were agreed to:-1,134,0001. for
commissariat establishment services and movement of
troops, 603,3001.•f0r barrack establishments, 41,100/. for
divine services, 22,0001. for martial law, 246,5001, for hos-
pital establishments, 842,6001. for disembodied militia,
85,2001. for yeomanry cavalry, 348,1001. for volunteers,
end 45.0001. for °owned pensioners. Various subjoins
counseled with those votes were dismissed, and a souse-
tiou was thrown out by Sir C. Russell that the labour of
soldiers in military prisons should be utilised as in France,
where the system had been found to a:induce to the
moral and physical advantage of the prisosera.
The Marquis of thirdngton admitted that the suggestion
was worthy of caudderatios. The vote for commissariat
minima elicited a general opinion that the uniforms
and necessaries maaufactured by government were
far superior to those formerly supplied by connectors. In
the course of the discussion Lord Elaho stated, on the
authority of the volunteer railway staff, that with their
present facilities they could undertake within 30 hours to
oonceutrate at any point within a certain distance of the
metropolis a force of 150,000 infantry, 60,000 cavalry, up-
wards of 100 guns, sad 80,000 navvies to throw up en-
trenchments.

The vote of 955,3004 for manufacturing eatablishments
was also agreed to.
The house having gone Into committee on the Marine
Mutiny RIM
Mr. TAYLOR moved the omfuion of the clause relating
to flogging.
The motion was resisted by Lord C. PAGET, who stated
that the morale of the navy was rapidly imoroviag, and that
the number of cues of corporal panishment wee year by
year diminishing.
Upon a division the °lame was comenned by 71 to 22.
A division was also taken upon the " branding clause,"
which resulted in the clause being agreed to by 52 to 21.
The bill was than passed through mananittaa.
The other bunnies on the paper was also disposed of,and
the house adjourned at ten minute' pest 1 o'clock.

'THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA'S REEORIPT.

The Cologne Gazette describes as follows the way
In which the im?erial rescript was received in the
Hungarian chambers.
" The impression produced in the Lower Cham-
ber by the reading of the rescript was decidedly bad.
The extreme Left murmured at several passages,
and it was only by the test of the remainder'
of the Chamber that the discontent of the deputise
was not more openly expressed. Several members,
however, manifested their discontent by turning
their backs on the reader of the document. In
the Upper Chamber, the rescript was listened to
in the most profound silence. Some of the clergy
alone uttered veak cries of Eljen Desk en-
deavoured to direct the attention of the deputies
to the satisfactory portions of this rescript ; but
from a Magyar point of view this was a difficult
task."

shown that the prisoner had charged to members of the
government sum* varying from 21s. to 28a. 6d. for 'Damages
for which the proper charge wee 3a. each. In these caeca
the prisoner was charged with obtaining by false returnees
the aims in excess of the proper charge. There
were also two charges of embszelemeM. Os the
lith and 14th of Dezember led Mr. Harslet,
the librarian sad keeper of the papers at the Foreign-office,
bad sent telegraphic messages to Yr. Hamilton, the British
consul it Boulogne, on private business in so way con-
nected with the office. Mr. Harslet of coons peal the
charges for these messages (2a. 6d. each) at the lime. The
prisoner, however, had pocketed the mosey, sad marked
the messages as to be debited to the Foreign-Aka Is the
ordinary routine of the oilloe the amounts were examined
and the fraud was discovered.
. . . .

Evidence in proof of these feat was tendered, and after
carefully examinieg the aceounts,
Sir Thomas Henry observed that it was evident the ac-
counts in the Foreign-offloe were very closely looked after.
No doubt it would now be s matter for consideration in
other branches whether they should not adept a system
which bad bees found effective in that one department.
The prisoner was committed for trial on both charges.

THE CLiHIENV7='HUARDIANS AND
THE casuevton.

The infamous condition of the Oleekenwell casual
wards was brought forward at the last meeting of
the guardians, and once mere without practical
result On the evening of last Tuesday, the day
on which our latest exposure of these wards was
published, one of these gentlemen informed his col-
leagues that during the preceding week the num-
ber of casuals sheltered had exceeded by ninety-
, five the namber for which there is accommodation,

proposition that hence-
nnd then brought forward a
forth the workhouse master should have authority
to send the destitute wanderers applying for shelter
after the wards were full to a common lodging-
house. Another guardian "objected to anything
of the sort," and accused the first speaker of
"causing a disturbance at the board." The
Clarkenwell guardians had kindly given their 1
"Homeless Poor Committee power to act as the
law permitted," and as this would perhaps result in
proper wards being taken lead fitted up at mosso
future day unnamed, it was evidently thought vary
questionable taste to disturb the harmony of the
board by reference to such au unpleasant and in-
convenient topic es the casual poor. In vain was
it asked, "If casuals were to be thrust in their
wards one on twee, of another," for an indefinite
number of weeks until proper shelter was decided
lupon. The meeting disdained to reply, and we
learn from the published report, that the would-be
reformer was refused permission to bring forward
his proposal, and the subject dropped. The very
night before this discussion, sixty-eiz people had
" slept" in wards with accommodation for thirty
and it is not too much to say that the night
scenes for which the Clerkenwell guardians are
directly responsible exceed in filthy horror and
bestial indecency what would be possible in the

lowest brothel in the land. We repeat that per•

fectly naked men and boys are so packed together
that their bodies are in close contact, and we feel
compelled to ask again—is there no remedy for this
sickening state of things? The police are, we are told,
to inspect these casual wards ; but this only means
reports, instructions, and delay. Is the Poor-law
Board quite powerless meanwhile, and if so, will
not the HOMO of Commons save us, as a nation,
from the shame and sin of condoning evils too foul
for speech or comment, evils which, even at the
risk of "disturbing" the Clerkenwell board, ought
to have been shudderingly trampled out the very
instant they were dragged to light ?

FENIANISM.

In Ireland, Lord Wodehonse. The story is that as Lord
and Lady Wodshonse were proceeding on a visit in the
train they were shot at by some miscreant in the neigh

escaped. The Herald gives credence to the statement,
and proceeds to express the conviction that whatever re-
spectability in Ireland may have faintly sympathised with
the aspirations of the pretended patriots will henceforth be
completely alienated from them. It will be sew. Weenies

MONEY MA.BILBT.-(TE18 DAY.)

FRESH RISE IN THE BANK RATE OF
DISCOUNT.

ONE o'Owal.

Much to the surprise of the mercantile commu-
nity, the directors of the Bank of England Lave to-
day raised the rate of discount from 7 to 8 per
cent. Their object is, it is presumed, to check the
flow of gold from the Bank. The publication this
evening of the Bank return made up to last night
is awaited with some anxiety.
The demand for money in the open market is
limited, while the supply is large, but the charge
for the best paper is 8 per cent., owing to the
movement by the Bank. In the Stock Exchange
loans on government securities till to-morrow
are obtainable at 5 per cent.

The discount establishments have not altered
their terms for money " at call," but the rats for
money at seven days' notice has been raised from
511 to 6 per oent., and at fourteen days' notice from
6to 7. The joint stock banks now allow 5 per
cent. for deposits, except that the London and
Westminster give only 4 per cent. for sums below
500/.

MISCILLANZOOS TOPICS.

The Daily News enters very fully into the report of " the
Royal Sea Fisheries" Commission. This document it
describes as a model of diligence, imparti►lity, and acute-
ness in collecting and weighing evidence, and of sound dis-
cretion and candour in sifting what was merely local, par-
tial, or personal in the alleged grievances or difficulties,
from remediable evils and defective principles. And the
conclusions are, as might be anticipated, all in accordance
with that enlightenel spirit of legislation which removes
from industry all restrictions, instead of devising artificial
aids and stimulants to its growth.
Toe Times refers to many proceedings in the country in
connexion with the plague amongst cattle, as forcing upon
us the one pr►ctical conclusion that by some means or
other healthy cattle must be kept from all contact with
cattle possibly infected, and this seems ooly possible by the
desperate resource of keeping all cattle at home. If all
cattle were oonfined for a certain period to their own
pastures, it is certain that the chief source of contagion
would be removed, and the danger reduced to a minimum.
If the public wants beef, and the butcher knows where to
find cattle, we may depend upon it that cattle will soon
find their way to the butchers' shops in the form or beef,
however absolutely the traffic in live animals may be
forbidden.

The Post regard► the appointment of the Muter of the
Roll► to the peerage, as dictated by sentiment► of wooed
and political friendship, and not as intended to strengthen
the courts of appeal. It also expresses its doubt that the
proposal to attach a life peerage to the highest judicial
offices would meet the difficulties now experienced.
Without esterase* to political or oonstitutiolial arguments
involved in the matter, it is quite reasonable to suppose
that a Chief Justice who had worked his way up from the
courts of quarter seesiosa, would balance the onerous duties
of the high smarts of sipped with the somewh►t equivocal,
because exceptional, hooeur oonferred by a life peerage.

SURREY SESSIONS.

(Before Thomas Tason, Ifaq.)

George Brigkeley, 33, handier, was lndseted for
two sheets, the property of Join Ortineirest,also 1111:1
and other articles of limo, the property of Willism Henry
Peke, et Farnham,
It appeared freer the evident* that the proopentore lived
with three Umbra in coo hones, and on the Bth ultimo the

of the erectus some one entered the homes and committed
the robbery. The prisoner wee seen sear the spot with a
bundle like linen, and when he wee tans bite custody
shirt belonging to ate of the prommtkee wee found on hint
and ideoti6ed.

11;:GSOTrge Newland, the superintendent of the Farnham
police, said he stopped the prisoner • short diMaene from
the prosecutors' house. A bundle wee lying at his foet
containing the linen named. He took him to the station-
home, and his boots were taken off and handed to Sergeant
Gray, of the Farnham polio,.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

MIDLAND ClRCUlT.—NorrisonAm, Disc. 8.
i •
(Before Mr. Baron Channell.)
On the county grand jury returning into court, after I;I
discharging their duties, the foreman (the right bun. the
Speaker of the House of Commons), addressing Mr. Baron
Chanuell, said he was directed by his brethren of tho
grand jury to state that it appeared to them that to
warrant the holding of an extra assize the list of prisoners
in gaol should he in number not inconsiderable, and that
I the offences with which they stood charged should he of a
character which could not be dealt with at the quarter
sessions. In the present instance in the county there was
only one case, and only one prisoner in gaol. In the town
there were ten cases, but nine of them would in an
ordinary way be tried at quarter sessions, so that
in reality the assize was hell to try one case in the
town and one in the county. But as there was a separate ,
jurisdiction in the town and iu the county, there was a
grand jury summoned for the town, and a petty jury , and
for the county a grand jury and forty-eight petty jurors—
not to speak of his lordship and the bar c died
from their important duties in London at the pre- !
sent inclement season. The machinery set in motion
seemed to the grand jury quite out of proportion 1
with the work io be done. The grand jury
would submit a second question to his lordship, whether
it was necessary under such circumstances, when there was
only one case in the county, that the county should be
included in the commission. In conclusion, the speaker
made a request that these considerations might be sub-
mitted to the authorities at bead-quarters.
Mr. Baron Channell, in reply, said the subject was one
upon which he could not offer an opinion. The arrange-
ments for holding the winter towizes were made by the
government at the end of October, and it was supposed
there would he an increase of prisoners. would see
• that the presentment was forwarded to the proper
quarter. . .

Mr. Temple, Q.C. and Mr. Pope were for the plaintiff ;
and Mr. Aspirant", Q.C., and Mr. Littler were for the de-
fendants.
This was a very painful case to investigate in a court
of justice. Mr. Wm. Henry Hayes, the plaintiff, was
formerly a silk manufacturer at Macclesfield, but retire.'
from business at the time the French treaty was negotiated,
and resided in retirement at Hazel-grove, near Stockport,
devoting himself to literary mid scientific pursuits, and
the enjoyment of a country life. Ile was a member of the
Manchester literary and Philosophical Society, of the
Natural History Society, and of other kindred institutions.
(in Saturday, the 4th November, DMZ, he had been attend-
ing a meeting of one of these societies at Manchester, and
returned home by the 545 p.m. train of the defendants.
London, England, 1866-12-10

MTACELLLKIOUS TOPICS.

Commenting on Mr. Goschen's speech at Halifax, the I
Times incidentally remarks that the conscience clause
must be looked upon as a thing that is settled. It is so
absolutely just, and, unfortunately, in many cases so neces-
sary, that the Tinges suspects the most vehement remon-
strant against it has a lurking conviction that it can in no
case be removed.
The Standard this morning applies to Mr. Bright tho
epithets of " blatant demagogue," " a man not to be
reckoned with but to be met and crushed ;" " • sort of
political outlaw ;" " the pirate not the soldier of parlia-
mentary warfare."
The Post thinks it the most hopeful feature of Fenianism
that it should have its root in America. There is no real
antagonism between the Irish and the Enzliah people ;
nor are there any differences which do not admit of easy
arrangement. Whilst, therefore, giving the government
credit for the promptitude and vigour of their measures,
we would remind them that it will be their first duty,
when they have extinguished Fenianism, to seek by a
careful inquiry the real causes of Irish disaffection—if
such exist.
Fully allowing the worthlessness of the personal charac-
ter of Meany, the Star thinks it a startling fact that any
man in this country may be taken to Bow-street on • Lortl:
Lieutenant's warrant, and thence deported with no more
ado to Dublin, where no man enjoys at the present
moment, except on sufferance, hie civil rights. What
amount of satisfaction is it necessary to give Sir Thomas
Henry in order to induce bim to baud • Meany over to the
Irish pollee ? Meany bad not been in Ireland. Meany had
not been guilty of Fenian practices In England. There
was no evidence that we know of laid before the Bow-
street chief magistrate to prove that be had transgressed
the law in any way. Even if there bad been, It could
only have convicted him of doing something in this
country. It he bad done anything in this country, had
he not a right to An tried in this country?
