YR. ROEBUCK.

A 1)11TE 1.1.1 N, as the Americans call it. has
arisen between Mr. I:oEnucx and his constituents
at Sheffield. The artisans of that town appreciate
the downright speech, the incisive tongue, and the
cynical temper of their number. They have par-
doned him much on account of these questionable
puculiarities. T1...y 11:.ve been ready to believe that
rudeness is hon..sty, and that self-confidence is
merit. But they :ire unable, with every fuir
alluw-
aucethatcalai s. mad' • for human infirmity, to account
for Mr. Rotiirries conduct, or to foresee with that
confidence which ought to exist when the choice
of a representative is !mule, what his course is
likely to be in future. Against these doubts
and misgivings, Mr. Ito EDIT K has only
those personal pleas to offer which arc
too often advanced by men towards whom
indulgence has reached its limits, and who
FIT the dismissal which they have pro-
voked impending over them. He tells the people of
Sheffield that he has been twenty years with them,
and that Le is ‘• neither richer nor poorer, much
older, much weaker—time, strength, health,
4' Laving been spent in their service." If a man is not
ashamed to offer these abject appeals, if he does not
shrink from exposinghis wounds and nakedness, and
from making a show of his grey hairs and his en-
feebled strength, no doubt the pleading will not be
-without its effect. Men will pity if they cannot
respect him who thus parades his infirmities ; and
to show that they do not withhold their compassion
will be betrayed into acts which look like a re-
nowal of confidence. As to the logical force of
Mr. ltonutieleS argument, it will not bear very strict
scrutiny. That Mr. Rousucx after twenty years'
service should be twenty years older than
be was before it, might have gone with-
out saying. The electors of Sheffield are not
responsible for that. Time would not have stood
still with Mr. Roam:Tor, if he had not been mem-
ber for Sheffield. That he is " much weaker "
at; sixty-five than ho was at five and forty is
matter for regret, but still scarcely leaves room
for surprise. The electors of Sheffield do not
visseas the elixir of life, nor Mings.7e art of boil-
ing-old men young. Mr. ROZDVOK'S announoe-
sno t. the twenty . years during Which
he ; 44- sat for Sheffield have mete ;lira
" deitbtt tither nor poorer," is a sestentent of
is. difficult to take aomunt. 11? Fat.

SPAIN.

" It is confirmed," says the IndApendance Beige,
" that the French Government was enabled to
give the Spanish Cabinet the first information re-
specting the insurrectionary movement in Spain.
It was it, also, that mowed the suspicions of the
Spanish Cabinet against the Duke do Montpen-
sier. But it is not known on what data these
revelations are founded, or whether there aro any
facts to justify them. It may be doubted whether
there are, because the Spanish government have
hitherto merely exercise(' the power of autho-
rity, without daring to bring the vic-
tims of its exercise before the legal tri-
bunals of the country, notoriously devoted
though they be to the interests of power.
However, whether there exists a conspiracy or not,
a government which is obliged to arrest the most
illustrious chiefs of the army and the nearest rela-
tives of the crown to secure its existence is a con-
demned government, and no lying telegrams sent
by its orders through Europe will arrest its fall."
The Madrid correspondent of the same journal
writes:
It appears that at the council which prey-d-el the ar-
rest of the generals, several members were of opinion that
the insurrectionary movement should be allowed is take
place, FO that the guilty parties could he rigorou,ly
punished. But the majority, doubting, probably of their
power to suppress it, adopted a course that was wholly
preventive. It is a mistake to say that General Itos de
Olano was arrested. lie was the only general of the
liberal union who has escaped arrest up to the present.
I may be wrong in my expectation, but it seems to me
the beginning of the end is near at hand. In 1834 the
ministry presided over by Count San-Luis arrested and
exiled a number of general. But they escaped, and in a
short time after the insurrection broke out, and the
ministry who exiled them ware themselves driven into
banishment.

ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIIiTY AT
LEICESTER.

On Monday and Tuesday the final trials of
cicdcrushers, harrows, eteamploughs, and horse culti-
vators took place, it having been decided to complete the
competition. Yesterday the judges, Messrs. Cau!dwell,
Wortley, and Thompson, were engaged in the trials of
brick and tile machines, commencing with the drain, tile,
and brick making machine invented and manufactured
11 Mr. John Whitehead, Albert Works, Preston. The
amount of power employed in the respective machines
was tested by the soziety's dynamometer, under the
superintendence of Mr. Amos. Stock is being brought
into the ground ready for the opening, and all the depart-
ments are thoroughly worked up to the point of com-
petition. But man and beast are parched with the
heat, although excellent provision is made for a
supply of water. The ground is as hard and arid as a
desert, the drought continuing without the least symptom
of change. The storms which have visited other localities
have altogether kept away from the Leicester show-
ground. The following are the awards for steam ploughs
and implements:—Fowler and Co., Leeds-1001., pair of
single winding drum traction engines, power for the cul-
tivation of the soil; 261., one double-drum traction en-

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

Despite the heat of the weather and the lassi-
tude inevitable at this period of the session, the
members of the House of Commons who were in
their places yesterday devoted themselves with
commendable energy and perseverance to the con-
sideration in committee of the clauses of the Sale
of Poisons and Pharmacy Act Amendment Bill.
Considerable difficulty was experienced in settling
the provisions of the measure, and a great number
of amendments—all of which led to more or less
discussion—were proposed, withdrawn, rejected,
or adopted ; but ultimately the details were so
arranged as to prohibit the sale of poisons to
any ono unknown to the seller, unless intro-
duced by some person with whom he is
acquainted. In the debates which preceded the
arnval at this result, Mr. Serjeant Gawks) made
himself at least as prominent as usual ' • and
caused a good deal of amusement by his authori-
tative expositions of legal principles and points of
law, and his unsparing and almost contemptuous
rejection of the arguments of any one who differed
from him in opinion. Before this bill engaged
the attention of the house, Mr. Newdegate post-
poned the second reading of his Church Rate
Commutation Bill—a measure which the abolition
of compulsory church rates has rendered almost,
if not entirely, useless ; and the Investment of
Trusts Funds Supplemental Bill (which stood
for committee) was thrown out by a ma-
jority of 17-33 to 16. When the house
ciung to the eensideration of the Mines
Assessmi nt Bill, the course adopted by the
house last Wednesday in adopting a short clause
providing that all mines should be rated was
vigorously assailed by Sir R. Collier and the
Solicitor-General, both of whom spoke as the
representatives of mining constituencies ; and,
despite the defence which was made for the
measure by Mr. Hugessen, Mr. Ayrton (the real
author of all that remained of it), and other mem-
bers, Mr. Percy Wyndham was ultimately com-
pelled to withdraw the bill. The Public Schools
Bill was passed, and after disposing of the other
orders the house adjourned.

TIM CIVIL SZITICZ.

The Post says Mr. Childers has completely established
the fact that there is a steady and apparently continuously
progressive increase in the cost of doing the business of
the country. He is disposed to think that the eleven mil-
lions which the country pays does not do its duty, and our
contemporary adds that the service is progressing towards
demoralisation, and clever discontent is compelling the ac-
cord of increased pay. That is a largely operating in-
fluence in the augmentation of estimates.
In discussing the plan of reform the Poses urges that a
general inquiry into the organisation of the service with
a view to arrange or unite, subordinate or suppress, will re-
quire both ability and determination in the highest degree.
A case has, however, been made out for such an at-
tempt. Our contemporary is not in favour of cutting
down salaries, which is the first thought of vulgar and
superficial economists. Experience shows that money is
wasted rather in paying those who can be dispensed
with than in properly paying those whose services are
necessary. But the constant increase in the cost of this
service calls for inquiry, and is a question of imperial
interest.

GENERAL PRIM AND THE BELGIAN
MINISTER OF JUSTICE.

General Prim has addressed a letter, dated 6,
Bt. James's-terrace, London, July 12, to the Bel-
gian Minister of Justice, in which he contradicts
the statement made by the latter in the Belgian
Chamber with regard to the expulsion of the
general from Brussels. The letter concludes as
follows:
It would be easy for me to refute you on other points,
but I do not think it advisable to do so in the special cir-
cumstances in which lam placed. But be assured the
time will come when, from another tribune, I shall do so,
and there I shall not imitate your conduct by distorting
facts.—l am, M. le Ministre, with the consideration I
owe you, your servant, Ls Costs DX Racal.

The Tinier protests against Mr. Metre frihrilke.
again unfolded in his Limerick speech, foe. regenerating
Ireland by the artificial production of peasant proprietors.
Re is attempting what our contemporary believes to be
utterly impossible, what has no ground in Justice, or in
the iesidiraent of eqaality; or la the public interest,
and what can only end in failure and disappoint-
ment. No doubt a peasant proprietorship, or a large
clue of " statesmen," as they exist still in some parts of
England, would be better, politically and socially, than a
reign of absentee landowners and the rest of the actual
system. But the peasant proprietors or small landowners
must be of spontaneous growth and must arise out of
encouraging circumstances. It would be impossible

to obtain proprietors of this sort without great
cost to the British public, groat risk of further
coat, and great interference with the existing arrange-
ments and transactions of property. What is done for
Ireland must be something just, practicable, fair to all,
and adapted to character and circumstances. When that
is accomplished it may prove the good seed of a still in-
creasing harvest, and the sound foundation of an edifice
whereof we see not yet the beauty or the dimensions. The
truth is that the two countries must become more and
more equal, united, and, as far as possible, intermingled.
It is not a creation of new rights, and a new division of
the soil, as if Ireland were the promised land of a new
dispensation. It is simple justice between man and man,
a mall thing to attempt, but the leaven, may be, of in-
finite good.
The Daily News thinks Mr. Bright may fairly claim
credit on the ground that ho has made his contributions to
the settlement of the Irish difficulty ; and unless the tone
of the debates of the present session, both on the land
question and on the church question, be very misleading,
the ultimate solution is likely to be found in measures not
very remote from the propositions which he has recom-
mended. Irish landlords and Irish churchmen may go
further and fare worse. Behind Mr. Bright there is Mr.
Mill on the one ride, and Mr. Wall on the other. A
little injudicious delay may transform Mr. Bright's
schemes from revolutionary projects into compromises for
which the time has gone by.

The Herald'. complaint is that there was no novelty in
Mr. Bright's speech. He presented himself as "a preacher
of political righteousness," and certainly his sermon was
very much like one of his stump speeches, toned down to
decorous dulness. But there was something new in the
piece of fustian with which he brought his discourse to a
dose. Standing in "the city of the violated treaty," he
proposed a new treaty, which is " not to be written on
parchment, bat on the hearts of the nations." It is
" justice on the part of Great Britain, forgiveness on the
part of Ireland." Putting together his deliverances upon
the church and the land questions, the Herald perceives
that this is merely an eupheraiam for general oonfisca-
tion and Popish ascendancy.

A GENERAL ELEXTION.

The Times to-clay oontains a review of the
Reform Act of last yetr with the object of showing at
wh►t period a general election by the reformed constituen-
cies can take place. The act unaltered would prevent an
appeal to the new electors during the current twelve-
month, and another clause provides that in tho case of any
general election before Jan. 1, 1869, it shall be conducted
precisely se if the act had not been passed, except that
Yarmouth and the other condemned boroughs shall have
no part in it. Nevertheless, the otetsclea in the way of
an election this year and a session before Christmas, are I
arbitrary obstacles, and the power which created them
can remove them. It will be necessary that an
amendatory act should be passed, but it need
only be very brief and simple in its character.
Parliament must accelerate the date for closing the electo-
ral lists, and the Play integrate that the Ifith day of Octo-
ber might be fixed as the last day for holding the registra-
tion courts. The difficulty nets, if anywhere, with the
uniefernied hone. If it is einem in ita desire to hasten
the diemehetkia it aka de se.

MURPHYITE RIOTS AT ASH TON.

On Sunday the borough of Ashton-under-Lyne
was the scene of great rioting and disturbance, arising
out of the spirit engendered between the English pro.
testants and Irish Romanist' by the lectures of the well-
kLiwn Mr. Murphy. A junction of proemial's from
Dakinfield, Stalybridge, and Ashton having been formed,
two of the principal Irish quarters of Ashton were
attacked, and a good deal of furniture was destroyed in
the houses of the residents. As may be supposed, all this
was not accomplished without sonic severe fighting, in
which many people were badly hurt. In the evening'
St. Omer's catholic chapel and school were attacked by
the mob, and much damage done. After that St. Mary's
catholic chapel and school were attacked. The bell was
sounded to give notice of the approach of the attacking
party and a considerable force of Irish Romanist, rallied to
defend the buildings. These were ultimately overpowered,
and a good deal of injury was sustained, the fittings and
windows being destroyed. Some shots were fired, and one
person is said to have been wounded, but no lives were
lost. The magistrates were assembled, and the borough
and county police were reinforced as soon am possible by
special constables, but it was not till a late hour that order
was restored. Many arrests were made, and the prisoners
were taken before the magistrates yesterday, but only to
be remanded while evidence could be obtained against the
principal offenders. A notice was posted on the walls yes-
terday, under the authority of the mayor and magistrates,
stating that the Riot Act had been read, and warning the
inhabitants of the consequences that might follow any
renewal of the disturbances.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer will to-night bring
before the Howe of Commons the Ma:Aria Telegraphs
Bill as amended by the select committee. The Teleraph
has a long article strongly defending the measure, and
insitting that it would be an act of sound judgment in the
home to pass it at once. Much will nocuesiarily depend
on the course taken by the opposition. But the question
is in no sense a pasty affair; and Mr. Gladstone, to whom,
in conjunction with Lord Stanley of Alderley, the initia-
tive of the measure is really due, might gracefully lend
the aid of his inßuence and authority, sea practical states-
man, to clear the impedimenta out of the way. There is
time to pass the bill, if both sides of the house desire to do
so, but there is not time for aimless criticism or merely
factious delays.

TZB MALT TAX.

The report of the select committee appointed to
inquire into the operation of the matt tax was published
this morning.

The ooildusions arrived at by the committee upon the
evidenos laid before them are that this tax prevent. the
farmer from cultivating his land to the greatest advantage ;
that it obstructs him is the as of a valuable article of
food for cattle ; that, by making it necessary to employ a
large additional amount of capital in the important
trade of malting and brewing, it has created, and
tends to foster, two large monopolies ; and that,
by materially increasing the price of beer, it encourages
adulteration, and prevents to • peat extent the habit of
brewing amongst the labouring people. The committee
are of opinion that the tax ought to be repealed, provided
some means for raising the same amount of revenue, if
required, be substituted, either in the shape of a brewer's
license or some other form.

Mr. Bright received an enthusiastic reception, a
day or so since, at Clare, as he pared through it on his
way to Inchmore, the beautiful residence of Marcus Good-
body, 3.P. In the evening the town was illuminated, and
bonfires were lit on the hills.

Another protestant demonstration, under the
presidency of the Fail of Realskillen, is to oome off to-
morrow. Great exertions are being made to render it
successful—at least, in point of numbers. A placard has
been posted throughout the county Fermanagh stating
that the Earl of Enniskillen " hopes and expects every
protestant, from 14 to 16 years of age, will be at his post
on that day, to enter his protest against the meditated at-
tach open the established church and the protestant con-
stitution, by the enemies of both."

of the Note Theatre in that city. . The dinner occurred
during the performance of Crispme • is Owaera. The
house was crowded and the piece had arrived at about the

of hurried footsteps, and a cry of "is
nothing." The clothes of a female caught
fire, and in ber terror she had ran about with her skirt in a
blame, and had thus set light to some drapery at the
wings : she was, however, firmly enveloped in a linen
cloth, and the flames of her dress were extinguished be-
fore she bad suffered any injury. The alarm however,
spread among the spectators, and a general rush was
made to the doors ; for a moment there was great danger
of loss of life from the pressure, but some young men who
were in the gallery above, and could see what was going
on near the stage, called out that the fire was over.
About half of the spectators then returned to their seats,
while those who were nearest the door left the building.
The disaster had indeed for a moment appeared to be at
an end, as the canvas on fire had been torn down and
trampled under foot. But the dames had found in the
painted scenes and light woodwork an aliment. too favour-
able, and the domes again appearing, the panic once more
became general. Screams were heard on all sides. several
women fainted, many persons jumped from the windows
on the staircase, and everyone made for the street, leav-
ing behind hats, shawls, umbrellas, &a Fortunately the
theatre bad been partly emptied at the first alarm, and
everyone was able to get away in moiety. The some out-

HYDO-!&u xzwrnios.

The Tort thinks Mr. Gladstone neither did the State nor
himself service when on Saturday he encou-aged the
organisers of the demonstration in Hyde-park to go on
with their project, and his encouragement is all the more
reprehensible because it was given in a manner calculated
to enable him to repudiate the responsibility of having
given it. If he bail really the interest of the working men
at heart he will for the future use his influence rather to
present than to encourage their compromising and discre-
diting themselves by such absurd and inooneequential ex-
hibitions, and will confine himself to legitimate and eon-
utitutional means of advocating the causes they may have
at heart.

ACCIDENTALLY POISONED.

ON Saturday an inquest was held at Notting-
hill on the body of a lady who died through
swallowing a strong in mistake for a weak solution
of strychnine. Her medical adviser having directed
that five drops of the more potent liquid should be
diluted with water and taken at meal-times, the
lady proceeded to mix a draught, placing the dose
in a bottle which, apparently, had previously hold
similar medicine, for it was identical in form with
that containing the poisonous quantity of strych-
nine. Subsequently mistaking the bottles, she
drank the wrong fluid and died in half
an hour. In commenting on this case, the Cow-
NEB, overlooking, as we think, the real cause of
this lamentable accident, condemned the practice
of placing poisonous medicines in bottles of ordi-.
nary form, and suggested the use of danger-bot-
tlea, dark in colour, and of rough exterior. Now,
supposing two such bottles to be at the disposal of
a patient, one having been emptied by the due ab-
straction of daily doses, it is difficult to see how
any peculiarity of colour, form, or surface
would prevent the empty one being used as
the vessel in which to carry away in the
pocket, a diluted portion of the stronger medicine.
The cause of the accident in the present and in
many similar instances would seem to be due to
the growing practice of prescribing highly con-
centrated and poisonous medicines, the task of
dilution being left to patients, nurses, and ser-
vants, who have other things to think about, in-
stead of the dilution being allowed to remain, as
formerly, part of the duty of the druggist.

IT is supposed, but we hope without due au-
thority, that a vigorous attempt will be made
in the House of Commons to get rid of the
clause inserted on Saturday in the Elections Pe-
titions Bill, throwing the necessary expenses of
candidates upon the constituencies. Liberal
members are bound, in justice to their prin-
ciples, to be present and support the retention
of the clause. Nothing is more likely
to make the electors choose good men
and keep them than to have to pay for them.
Useless contests promoted by local busybodies will
be rarer, and a healthier atmosphere generally be
created.

JUDGING by the letters we receive and
the gossip we hear, the lodger franchise is
puzzling everyone. Lodgers are not rated,
nor are they in the parish books, and
the difficulty of ascertaining whether a par-
ticular lodger's claim is well founded in boroughs
where thousands are claiming will be great. We
shall be agreeably surprised if the revising bar-
risters are not often spectators of extraordinary
scenes of confusion.
