THE LATE PRESIDENT LINCOLN AND
'EUROPEAN FEELING TOWARDS AAIE-
RICA.

Tim rapidity of events during the past three or
four years has transferred the assassination of Pre
dent LINCOLN to what seems a distant point of
hi/dory. In Europe and in America, a new world
map to said to have arisen since his death.
The democratic element of the English consti-
tution has received a vast increase of strength.
The States-System of Europe (to use the ugly
German phrase) has been essentially modified,
and its leading powers are not what nor where
they were. In America the accidental successor
of Mr. Lnscoms, the President chosen by the
bullet of WILKES BOOTH and not by the ballot
of the American people, having escaped abrupt
dismisaal from office by conviction on impeach-
ment, is waiting for the natural termination
of his political career. New issues have arisen
there, involving not merely the legal and politi-
cal equality of races, but the commercial credit
of the Republic and its economical
policy, and with them its place in
the future history of the world. All
these questions have come up since the assassina-
tion of President LuccoLs ; and if his spirit could
re-visit the world and be intelligent of what is
taking place in it, he would scarcely know the
'Scene in which he did hero's work and earned the
patriot's laurel. Among the changes which have
'Wren place since this earthly scene vanished
'from before his eyes in the flame and smoke
sod crash of the assassin's pistol, none would
be more welcome than the revival of confi-
dence and affection between his country and
ours Which has been so remarkably evinced
during the past three years. The welcome
even in the United States to Mr. Cassias
•Eviefurfte, and in England to Mr. LoNarszLow,
`Crak net an expression of literaryadmiration merely.
These distinguished writers were not hailed solely
as authors who have added—the one to the
familiar personages of our life characters more real
than those of history, and more agreeable than
those of our daily experience ; the other to the pie-
'tures which our eyes see when they are shut, and
Ito three high thoughts and sweet fancies which
'are the bliss of solitude. The regard of Americans
for England and of Englishmen for Americans
mingled with the personal feeling of gratitude
of which Mr. DICKENS and Mr. Lorcorrs.Low
were the objects. Almost as much pride
has been felt in and as much admiration for the

THE MURDER OF PRINCE MICHAEL.

BELGRADE, Nov. 9, ETENLIO.

Sentence was passed to-day on the rest of the
prisoners accused of complicity in the murder of
Prince Michael. Maistrovich in accordance with
the demand of the public prosecutor, was con-
demned to death, three others to five years im-
prisonment, and three were acquitted.

ROUMANIA.

BUCHAREST, Nov. 8.

It is stated that the government intends enter-

ference to a proposed increase of certain of the
import duties.
The Perseveranza proves the necessity of in-
creased armaments on account of the present un-
satisfactory relations existing between Roumania
and Hungary, and publishes an appeal summoning
the nation to arms. The frequently repeated
rumours about Russian influence predominating
in Roumania are declared to be derived entirely
from Russian sources. It has, however, been stated
that French emissaries are expected in the Danu-
bian districts of Turkey as well as here.

DEATH OF THE MARQUIS OF
HABTINOB.-(THIS DAY.)

We have to ammo* the death of the Marquis
of Midday, which swot took plsos at his lordship's

residence, in Grcevesior-square, at 12.40 this afternoon.
The deceased peer, Henry Weydord Charles Planta-
genet Itawdon-Hastings, fourth Marquis of Raiding', was
the second son of the second marquis by the Baroness
Grey de Ituthyn. He was born in Cavendish-square, in
1842, so that he was only 26 years of age. He succeeded
his brother as marquis in 1861, and his mother in the
Barony of Grey de Ituthyn in 1868. In 1864 he married the
only daughter of the second Marquis of Anglesey.
The deceased peer was the patron of ten livings. The
Bret earl's father was speaker of the Irish House of Com-
mons, and the first marquis was Governor-General of

India: As all the world is aware, the late marquis was
known more in his character as a supporter of thu turf.

MB. DISRAELI ON AUDACITY.

THE PRISM= has a grievance. His sense of
political dignity is outraged by the tactics of his
opponents. The sting of his speech at the Mansion
House last night lay in its tail, and his manly
protest against " boastfulness and braggadocio"
went to all hearts. "It is the custom of un-
" disciplined hosts, on the eve of a battle," said
Mr. DISRAELI, "to anticipate and celebrate their
" triumph by horrid sounds and hideous yells,
" the sounding of cymbals, the beating of
" drums, the shrieks and springs of barbaric
" hordes. But when all that has occurred it is
•‘ sometimes found that the victory is not to them
" but to those who are calm and collected ; the
" victory is to those who have arms of precision,
" though they have made no noise." Save that
it meals Earl RresiLL'e comparison of the noise
made by the "inferior animals " in the Abyssinian
campaign, while treading in the footsteps of their
intelligent guides, to the Conservative exultation
at having carried a Reform Bill, Mr. DISRAELI'S
picture is as meritorious as it is lively. Nor is his
claim to superior discipline for the Tory party at all
overstrained. If report speaks truly the Govern-
ment Whip and Mr. SPOFFORTIT exercise a control
over budding Conservatives which Liberal poli-
ticians cannot hope to emulate ; while " arms of
- precision which make no noise," arc un-
doubtedly in the hands of Mr. DISRAELI'S
friends. They possess the " sinews of war "
in such abundance as to attempt the forlornest
of hopes ; and to be ready to sacrifice
men and material with an unswerving singleness
of purpose worthy of the first NAPOLEON himself.
But though the Conservative " arms of precision"
make no noise, those wounded by them cry aloud ;
and the dwellers in boroughs like Worcester and
counties like Dorset supply, by their murmurs
and protests, that element of sound which
Mr. Disibtam deprecates aa the precursor of
battle. The aim of a landlord at a tenant may be
sure enough, but it is of the battue order of sport,
and those receiving the charge feel that they are
unfairly hit. Mr. DISRAELI, however, deserves the
thanks of the community for having laid down the
rule upon which the coining combat must be
fought. " Audacity " is to be avoided by all his
followers ; and " boastfulness and braggadocio"
to be shunned as things of evil. There is some-
thing sublime in each advice from such an adviser.
Vivian Grey inculcates delicacy and modesty to a
naughty and self-asserting world ; and we all
smile admiringly, and wonder what strange dish
our clever conjuror will ask us to swallow next.

WOXAN 1011,1•01.

The Post says the real reason against conferring votes
upon women ts not far to mak. In thecae* of men voting
for women, or women voting for men, the influence of the
sexes would come into operation at once. It by a system
of selection we could pick out as electreeses those women
only who are of the strong-minded type, and eliminate
all the weaker vessels, there might not be stuck to tear.
But under ordinary circumstances, the fate of parties—
the question whether whigs, tones, or radicals should sit
on the right hand of the Speaker—or Speakers's—would,
so far as female suffrage is concerned, depend on very dif-
ferent considerations. And where the element of sex in-
tervenes men are just as weak as women.
The rderrapA dissents from the judgment of the Court of
Common Pleas. The court based its decision ahnostexclu-
rively on the fact that women have not voted for centuries.
To that argument there are two sufficient answers—first,
that, according to a thoroughly well-established principle
of our law, incapacity is not to be presumed from
non-user ; secondly, that the present question could
not have arisen but for Lord Romilly's act and the Reform
Act of last year. The subject, however, can hardly re-
main where it is. More investigation and more mature
consideration will probably serve to dispel the vulgar error
that there actually exists in our Statute Book a Salic law
governing the right of suffrage.

CORRUPT PRACTICES ♦S

The Star thinks the best hope that can be derived from
the new statute known as " The Corrupt Practioes Act "
is that the mode of trial on the spot by a single judge will
be found efficient for the detection of material facts, which
before an election committee of the House of Commons it
was often convenient and possible to glees over.

ROM FOR DfDIA.

The choice of thego;ensinen the nomination of
Lord Mayo as the new Viceroy for India, has, says the
Herald, been vindisated earlier than we. expected. A
deputation waited upon his lordship last week, urging
upon him the adoption M an efAcient plan of irrigation.
Lord Mayo's reply wan, " I mean to substitute motion
for writing ;" and it is in this declaration that the Herald
lees so much reason to hops for India, which has suf-
fered so terribly from drought and famine.

writing to stay the progress of the Shrewsbury Autumn
Meeting, which commenced with average success yester-
day, but will not produce very extensive fields, from pre.
seat appearances, despite the large number of horses—

about two hundred—on the spot. The great event is de-
cided this afternoon, and its result will probably
foretell the winner of the Column, the principal

innocence and manly honesty to diaw from Each a
conspicuous instance ? And all for what t All
this scandal—bad enough in its commission, ten-
fold worse in its publication—is' flung into the
face of the world to save a peer with an illimitable
rent-roll from restoring a few hundred pounds'
worth of goods he had withheld. All is incurred
rather than resort at first to the means which the
strung language of the Judge compelled to be
adopted on the second day—a reference of the
facts to some gentleman of character who could
have arranged them privately. We do not say the
sin would have been made less by such a course,
but surely its evil influence would. Though
hypocrisy be but the homage vice pays to virtue,
yet it is a homage which virtue has a right to de-
mand. Lord WILLOUGHBY D'EBEBBY refuses, how-
ever, to confess that public decency has any claim
upon him. That claim is founded on the position
which the institutions of the land give to him,
and when duties are denied, rights are forfeited.

THE POLICE COURT&

MANSION-HOUSE.

Two young men named Houghton and Weans, under-
went an examination before the Lord Mayor on a charge
of robbery.
The proceedings were instituted by Alfred Hotham, a
pawnbroker's amistant, who stated that while
through the Minories on Saturday evening abl:gin4
minutes to 12, a man came out of • court and made a
snatch at his watch and chain, taking part of the latter
away with him. As he was about to start in pursuit, •
second man (Houghton) eame out of the court, and, taking
hold of his oollsr, asked what ha had lost. The first man
thus succeeded in effecting his escape, but shortly after-
wards the prosecutor gave Houghton into custody on the
ch
arts of complicity in the robbery. On the way to the
he remarked to the officer, " If it were not for us
thieves you would not be able to live." A crowd of per-
sons followed them to the station, amongst whom was
M'Cann, who wu apprehended and identified by one of
the witnesses as the man who actually committed the

Sergeant Mom Mated that there had been three robbe-
ries in the same quarter during the week, and in each cam
the same tactics were adopted, the re-by being
pounced upon by persons who con themselves in
oearts. . . . . . .

The prisoners were remanded, and it is expected that
some more of the same gang will be captured before the
next examination.
WORSHIP-STREET.
Sanmel John Jordon, a short, powerfully-built fellow,
23 years of age, living at 10, Trafalgar-place, North-street,
13etlinal-green, described as a channel bonier, was charged
with violently assaulting Mary Ann Dodaon.
The prosecutrix, a needlewoman, living at 4, Hope-place,
Stepney, said that on Saturday night she, in company with
a friend, went to the Rodney's Head public-house, in
the Whitechapel-ro•d, to have a drop of drink, and saw
the prisoner and a woman he lives with there. She knew
the prisoner and went into the same compartment to have
a glass of ale with her friend, and then the woman with the
prisoner wanted to fight her, taking off her shawl and
striking her. The potman and the barman jumped over
the bar, and prevented the continuance of the disturbenoe
by turning the man and woman out. Theythen demanded
that the prosecutrix should also be turned out, which
was done, and then the row recommenced. The prosecu-
trix took off her shawl and bonnet to defend herself against
the woman, but was then attacked by the prisoner, who
struck her a violent blow in the face, breaking her noes,
and giving her two black eyes. A constable coming up he
was given into custody. At the station be had threateued
her again.
Police-constable John Smith, 466 K, proved taking the
prisoner into custody, and the threat of serving her worse
whilst in the station. _ _ _

A friend of the rocecutrix deposed to seeing the blow
struck by the man without any provocation being given by
the prosecutrix.
Mr. Newton, remarking that be considered the prisoner
had been guilty of a very cowardly act, sentenced hint to
one month wits hard labour.
London, England, 1868-02-04

THE ACTION AGAINST LORI/ WILLOUGHBY.

To theTintes the above trial, in which a noble name is
dragged in the dirt, supplies • singular example of
human perversity. This peer not only deserts the
partner of his early manhood and the mother of his
child, but gives Inds-actions to take every advantage
against her—►bsolutely pleading that the counter,
being a married woman, had no right to sue in her
own name. To live in adultery with a married
woman, and then publicly to allege her marriage as
a bar to her claim, nurtures almost anything that
can be conceived of meanness. Lord Willoughby by
gained nothing pecuniarily by his sharp practice and the
technical objections which the ingenuity of his lawyers de-
vised. He will have, in the end, to give a decent support
to his former companion, and he bad better have done it
at once. On the other hand, it will be a long time before
those who have read this ugly case will f aget it ; and in
these days such cases are read by millions. Lord Wil-
loughby de Eresby, Lord Great Chamberlain, had a
character and dignity to lose, at least among those who did
not know him. They, the great body of the public, are
now aware to what so highly placed a person can descend.
His conduct not only affixes a stigma on himself, but,
however unjustly, reflects discredit on the omen he bears
and the order to which he belongs. _

The Star invites Mr. Roebuck to study this specimen of
the habits of the greatest trades union in England, that
of the peers, and to say whether virtue is promoted by the
association, whether legislation is safe in their hands, or
whether the people of England are bound to submit for
ever to the dictation of a class whose privileges unques-
tionably demoralise themselves, and aro out of keeping
with the reformed institutions of the empire.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.

(THIS DAY.)

THY QUUN.

Congratulating the public on the announcement li
that her Malady will attend three drawing-rooms this sea-
eon, the Times proceeds to argue that it conoerns the
whole country that the principal personage should appear
as the attractive centre of our political system. The
loyalty of the country is shown by the simple fact that
the Queen is the most successful author of the day, and
this instinctive sentiment ought to be oftener appealed to,
and made more useful to the state. In such a system as
ours, only that lives and flourishes which acts and shows.
In a balance of forces each power must do ita utmost,
not for aggrandisement, but for mere indentation and
self-preservation. In the great drama every personage
must do his part.
The Telegraph delights in the prospect. The spring
time and summer time, it says, of 1868 will not lack that
animating influence which we all welcome. The presence
of the Queen at the drawing rooms means an outburst of
business, of more vivid life throughout the tows, as well
as the casting of sunshine upon the every-day occupa-
tions of the upper ten thousand. The national life, in
some of its essential qualities, will be more rounded and
complete ; the state machine will move with augmented
dignity, and the pleasure flowing from the change will
gratify the select few, not less than the substantial bene-
fits arising out of the stimulus to trade will gladden the
many.

DISTURBANCES IN LUXEMBURG.

The Amair Nahorial reports that a few days
ago a number of workmen and peasants paraded
the streets of Luxemburg, uttering seditious cries
against the government. They proceeded to the
houses of several of the government officials
and made menacing demonstrations. They took
possession of an unoccupied barrack, and after
remaining in it for some time they dispersed.
Almost the whole force of the Grand Duchy is now
concentrated in the town. The inclemency of the
season, the dearness of provisions, and want of
work are supposed to have given rise to these
riotous proceedings.

VILtAO EPIDT.3IIC9.

Referring to Dr. Thorne, who was lately deputed to visit
the ,31Iage of Terling, in Essex, to report upon the epi-
demic there, for a description of the place and its popula-
tion, the Taws proceeds to remark that the origin of the
fever was evidently the water of the wells. Usually the
wells are pretty full, and their contents therefore mach
diluted, but for some weeks previous to the epidemic
there had been a dearth of rain, which was suddenly
followed by a considerable downfall. During the drought
noxious nutter accumulated in abundance on the surface
of the ground ; when the rain came this was swept bodily
into the wells, and the result was such a strength and
concentration of poison as had never been known before.
That is the scientific expl►nation given of the catas-
trophe. Things were always bad at Terlhig,but last Decem-
ber they suddenly became worse, and so the fever broke out.
The guardians of Witham, who are responsible for the
dangerous accumulation of nuisances at Terling, have not
repudiated the responsibility. They distributed disinfec-
tants in abundance among the villagers, and authorised all
the medical men employed to order wine, brandy, and beef
tea without restriction. But though they were thus
liberal in administering medical comforts, they were not
active in removing the causes which had made this
expenditure necessary. Up to the 12th of last month
they had done but little towards extinguishing the
mounts of disease. The nuisances remained sub-
stantially unabated ; in fact, as we infer from the report,
they were too extensive for the means employed in re-
moving them, and the natural growth of filth overtook the
operations of the scavenger. However, in the end, Ter-
ling will doubtless be the better for the plague. The vil-
lage, we learn, is to have a supply of pure water ; the cess-
pools are to be effectually repaired and covered over, and
when the place has been once made clean, it may be kept
clean for the future. But how many Terlings are there in
England waiting for their turn of purgation? Are such
improvements to be postponed or neglected till one villager
out of every three has been struck down by fever? Is
there no authority to Dee that what would then be done
should be done at once without waiting for the warning?

MR. GLADSTONE ISO TRZ LIBERAL PARTY.

The Standard condoles with Mr. Gladstone on the
penalty of having to attend a perpetual (MUM of lee-
tures on his principles, conduct, and deportment. Ever
since be has been the only possible " liberal leader"
thousand tongues have been busy in teaching him the
first principles of his duty ; and as scarcely two of these
tongues wag to the same intent, it is impossible but that
Mr. Gladatone's education should still be incomplete.
The Standard can see no organised force, no elements of
a party which Mr. Gladstone can lead. It is a host as
heterogeneous as a regiment of papal Zonaves without an
infallible holiness as *cement of discipline. Mr. Gladstone
is certainly opposed to the ballot, and has not yet been
educated to the point of absolute household suffrage, rate
or no rate. Upon most of the other questions to which
the greatest importance is attached by the rank and file of
hie ;arty, as, for instance, the legalising of trades anions
t (announced by Mr. Potter to be henceforth the chief
concern of the Working Men's Associations), Mr. Glad-
' atone is directly at variance with his following. And

A ourious bit of diplomacy bas been practised
at Procne, in order to unite the tory party against Mr.

churn of England there, have to a great extent divided the
toast tory patty, which includes alike the vicar and his pro-
secutor, Mr. Sheppard, the pkintiff in the ens of Sheppard
