IDE RIVER PLATE AND BRAZIL MAILS.

SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 3.

11:o Royal Mail Steam Packet Company's
sienna. Oneida, with the above mails, arrived hero
this morning. Sbo brings 61 pissongers, 103,0271.
in Erode, and 2,628 bags of coffee.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Oar. 9.

The subscription to the Six per Cent. Loan, re-
/ ayable in gold, issued at 90, amounted to
103,833,000 dole. Almost all on epeculatori
account.

The correspondence between Mr. Washburn, the
American minister at Puraguay,and Lopez's foreign
minister is still the principal topic of discussion.
Lopes is still in position on the heights of
Vißeta, and holding the neighbouring pass of
Angostura with heavy batteries. The Brazilian
fora• are said to be eready in proximity to
illeta. Lopez's movements are uncertain. It is
supposed he will retire when pressed into the in-
terior without fighting. The report that a Brazilian
force was marching upon Chackoside, opposite
Ascension, is without foundation. The fleet was
accomraning the mare& of the Brazilian forces.
The lste t ieteTgenoe brought by the Oneida
announces no news of im: ortance from the seat of
war.

Lopez continued desirous of establishing friendly
relations with Great Britain. The facilities ex-
tended by Lopez to her Majesty's gunboat Linnet
to survey the river within his lines had excited
much surprise and jealousy.
In well-informed quarters it was believed that
it would be satisfactory to Lopez and the popula-
tion generally of the River Plate, were her
Majesty's government to mediate between the
belligerents.
The concession to Mr. Baillie and others for the
exportation of cattle from the River Plato to
London is officially promised by the next packet.
Seven large steamers are to be bunt in England
for the service, each capable of carrying 12,000
head. Conscripts continue to be sent from Rio
for the army in Paraguay.
The reported outbreak of cholera in Rio is
unfounded; it arose at Monte Video, from the
presence of cholera on board a Brazilian trans-
port. The Rio money market was excited.
A crisis was expected. The army expenditure
leaves a monthly deficit of one million sterling.
Exchange limited, 300,0001. negotiated at Is. nel.
to td. Sovereigns declined to 12.300. Coffee
sales improved ; receipts from the interior mode-
rate. Freights firm at 335. to 40s. to the Channel.
Business at Buenos Ayres was dull. Wool quiet.
The wheat crop promisee well. Money abundant.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 1,

SIR ROBERT NAPIER.

ONE of the most interesting despatches, and one
of the beet written, that ever recorded the conduct
and success of a difficult campaign, has taken its
place this morning in our military history, on the
day of the expected arrival of the victorious Gene-
ral whose signature it bears. The true genius of a
great soldier is as conspicuous in Sir ROBIRT
NaPrEA's language as in the operations it records.
His narrative is as remarkable for its clearness,
its succinctness, its vigorous simplicity, as for the
fulness and comprehensiveness which leave no
point in a most memorable march without its
appropriate significance. Nor is the characteristic
generosity of the CommaNnEa-ut-Ortrair of the
Abyssinian expedition, his grateful recognition
of the services of the highest and the
humblest of his comrades, his tender
and scrupulous carefulness in adjudging to each
and all the due mood of acknowledgments and of
fame, less noteworthy than the precise and lumi-
nous exposition of the singular labours and almost
unexampled difficulties which his troops were
called to encounter, from the first landing of the
Bombay Pioneer force at Zoulla, in October last,
to the re-embarkation of the last column of
the expeditionary forces, the 25th Bombay
Native Light Infantry, and the 27th Belooch Bat-
talion. In many respects this singular campaign,
in which there was comparatively so little fight-
ing, surpasses almost all other famous exploits of
* modern army. In farsighted combination, in
exact method, in the fit application of means to
cod', in correctness of judgment, in the vigi-

Wormholt-scrubbn. In addition to the cup, which must be won
two years in sue cession ere it becomes the absolute property of
the winner, the additional entriees during the year form a prize
which in this, the second year, amounted to £5O. There were 52
competitors, and of these six killed all their birds, and bad to

BILL.

On tho order of the day for going into committee on this
bill, - - - - -

Mr. J. B. SMITH expressed a hope that the bill would
be withdrawn, and that her Majesty's government would
have u measure prepared in the recess which would be
worthy of the importance of the subject. Tho hon. rwmn-
Ler concluded by moving that the order be discharged.
Aft, r a few words from Mr. B. HOPE the order was
discharged and the bill WWI withdrawn.
OXF( HID ANI) CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITIES DILL.
On the order of the day for reseming the adjourned de-
bate on amendment on the second reading,

... „,
Mr. I' OW ELI. (who wan spooking when the debate was
stoma d lost Wednesday on the arrival of the hour of six)
re-hewed his opposition, and repeated some of the argu-
mints against the nieasute. The hen. member insisted
on the greet distinction between London University
and the foreign universities and the two ancient
universities of thin country. As to the colleges, they
were mainly the result of private benefactions, as any
one could testify who had been present on Founders'-
day. Two colleges bad been faithful to their trust.
Religion was lively and active in them, and he asked the
house to do anything which would tend to do away
with the existing state of things.
Mr. G. DUFIe contended that this bill carried out the
modern ideas of education, which were imbued with a
spirit of liberty, and hence, he said, it was opposed by the
supporters of the old semi-monastic idea, with its spirit of
bondage.
Mr. B. HOPE maintained that this bill tended to
foster a system of scepticism, and called upon non-con-
formista to direct their attention to that feature. He also
referred to the hard dry secularists, who only cared to
make a good machine for getting on in the world. (Hear,
hear.) The education which it was sought to promote
was education without religion, and he warned the house
against such efforts. This war was a war to the knife.
between philosophers and the church party. He believed
that the views of the hon member for the Elgin Burghs
were in a great minority. The case of dissenters had
been thrown back by such views. Churchmen had been
prepared to provide for the case of eminent non-
conformists, but the disciples of free thought
had made • compromise impossible. The hon. member
afterwards repeated the names of Whewell,Whateley, and
many others as showing that Universities produced men
of the greatest scientific and philosophical eminence. Let
the House in • confident spin't remand this question to the
universities, who, he believed, would do what they could
to provide some disctions not involving actual govern-
ance.
Mr. C. FORTESCOM, in supporting the bill, said even
as a member of the Church of -Fragland he earnestly de-
sired to see the testa removed. It was a great evil to the
church that/the highest positions could only be obtained
by controversial minds.

tion to thore of the Cl my, and it was intended to make a

CANDIDATES AHD ELECTOR&

The Star disputes the counsel which the Times gars,
yesterday to electors and candidates. We hold, it says
that the worst parliament you can c•Uect within the walls
of St. Stephen's is a parliament in the greater part com-
posed of these "old servants" of the Times, these
fossil liberals of the Palmorstonian era, whom we
are now requested with some impudence to take
back without scrutiny, on the strength of their
experience in the arts that have discredited representative
government. We hold it to be far better to be governed
by a tory majority than by such a liberal majority as this,
and, if in some cases it may be necessary, from local con-
siderations, to accept the candidature of a liberal who
cannot show a fair record, it is all the more essential
to bring such men up to the mark by insisting
on their adherence to a clearly defined and a
broadly liberal platform. It never was more imperative
for the electors, and especially the now electors, to ostra-
cise with unflinching pUrposes that contemptible element
of adullamite intrigue that has so demoralised English
politics in recent years, and wrought such complicated and
ruinous mischief. If the fair fame of the parliament of
England is to be restored, the elector must speak out
boldly, and must tolerate no reticence on the hustings.
London, England, 1868-07-01

THE POLICR 07 LONDON.

The Post complains that the police of London are not
up to the management and control of tl.o night life of the
metropolis. The force applied to that object, or at all
events the officers of the force, should be separate and
distinctive, and have separate and distinctive instruction
and training. At present the police create great dissatisfac-
tion, and do more harm than good. They irritate the loose
and disorderly without preventing or repressing dis-
order. There should further be constituted a separate
corps with a special organisation and training for the par-
poees of detection. In that respect we are, both in town
and country, comparatively far behind other nations, and
substantially very much below the requirements of society.
The soldier of the predatory army has advanced in intel-
ligence and resources faster and further than the police-
man whose special function it is to detect and catch him,
to find his trail, and to hunt him down.

THE DROUGHT.

TEE long-continued drought is becoming a
matter of serious import to the country, and
if the population of the kingdom could be polled,
a longing for rain would be found at this time
to be among the most earnest and wide-spread
of its wishes. Every description of land pro-
duce is damaged, and the face of nature has a
parched and weary look which is almost human
in its expression of long suffering. The
traveller by railway, through any part
of England, reads the same story in
county after county. Fields which should be green
and fresh have an arid and rusty look, as if their
vegetation were artificial and had grown shabby.
The soil is harsh and drouthy, as the palate of
some Rabelaisian drunkard; the hedges are bald and
brown, while the grass of parks and pleasure
grounds is burnt down as completely as if it had
been singed by some fashionable dresser and re-
storer of hair. London is suffering too. Our sewers

HER MAJESTY'S OPERA.

The only approach to novelty in the perform-
ances of the past week at this establishment has boon the
re-appearance of Signor Fereusi. This gentleman, who
made a sudden debAt as Raoul, in Lee Huguenots, on
May 14, made as sudden a disappearance, and was not
beard of, excepting at the Crystal Palace concerts, until
Thursday last, when he again.appeared at Her Majesty's
Opera as Faust, in Gounod's eluld'eawre. Signor
Ferensi can scarcely aspire to a higher rank than that of a
useful singer, ready to go creditably through a prominent
tenor part in the absence of a superior artist. His
voice is somewhat hard and unsympathetic in

quality, and his style crude and unequal. Some portions
of his music were given with considerable earnestness, but
there was a general want of that tenderness in expression
and the refinement of sentiment which are indispensable
requisites in such music as that of Faust. The chief fea-
ture in the performance of Thursday was the Margberita
of Mdlle. Nilsson, a part which she first essayed at Her
Majesty's Theatre twelve months since, only a week after
her debut there. It is scarcely necessary again to say how
charmingly this excellent artist embodies, driuna-
heftily and swally, the heroine of Hughes poeft
and Gonnod's .epera. The dreamy abstraction of
her earlier scenes, and the pathos and passion of
the following more intense situations the exqui-
site simplicity of Hiellegendary "King of Thule" ballad ;
the impulsive ecstasy and brilliant vocalisation of the-
". Jewel-sons" and the poetical sentiment of the follow-
ing love music with Fault ; were as admirable on this as
Boa the previous occasions of last year's performances. The
.oast in other respects was the same as before—Siebel,
Madame Trebelli-Bettiai ; Valentin, Mr. Bentley ;
Madatefele, Signor Glassier, &c.

Gravely considerieg the bishop's speech last week, the
Telegraph is inclined to add the rev. orator to the long list
of those pious men who have gone astray through an in-
discreet adimiistion of the other se:. Had nese but man
been about him, he would probably have trusted more to
argument, lees to low comedy; but, as is the wont of
other comedians, he played to the gallery—the gallery
tilled by the ladies. Hence the sense of his high spiritual
functions seems to have been a little troubled by his desire
to hear some of those sweet, silvery, familiar laughs
which generally reward the facetious efforts of the clergy.
He thought, no doubt, of Mother Church ; but, at the
moment, be preferred to amuse her delightful daughters.
We have heard of "Paradise and the Peri ;" the bishop's
dilemma was between Paradise and the peeresses. It
was quite a toss-up which he would choose; and, as fate
would have it, "woman " won.

UNIVERSITY COLLEGE AND ITS NEW
PRESIDENT.

Ammo) the offices which have become vacant
by the death of Lord Baotronsic is that of the
President of University College, London. On
Saturday the place was filled by the election of
Er. GROTI. A more fitting choice could not have
been made. The new President has always mani-
fested & strong personal interest in the institution
of which he is now tho head, and of which,
for many years, ho has been the Treasurer.
His time has been freely given, and
his purse has been widely opened, when-
ever just demands were made on either.
He has always been true to the principles
of free and unsectarian training on which the
College is based ; and is himself an illustrious
example of that scholarship and cultivation which
it is the proper business of a University to impart,
and the possession and communication of which
distinguish it from a school of the technical
arta, or the practical sciences. The connection

DEATH OF MR. GEORGE LONG.—Died on the
26th tilt, at 31, Queen Anne-nseet, Cavendish-square,
George Long, Esq., Bencher of Gray's-inn. His friends
included men of all creeds and parties, who bad minds con-
genial with his own, kind and generous in their nature,
and free from everything that savoured of narrow minded-
ness and intolerance. He was the author of several
works on questions of morals and religion, which
were marked by sound judgment and good sense. He
had a large acquaintance with general literature, which
enabled him, in his intercourse with friends, to render
his society both interesting and agreeable. As a police
magistrate, in the district of Marylebone, it has been often
remarked that his decisions as a judge were so tempered
with justice and mercy as to have escaped all adverse
criticism from the public press, and incurred not the
censures of any. Altogether he was a man whose loss
will have created in the hearts of many a void which
cannot easily be filled. up.—/eqvirw.

Henry Maws alias Hwy_ Mays" alias Henry Leary*,
alias Briery Was" alias Henry Ward, was placed at the
bar on remand, before Alderman Challis, charged with
obtaining goods from Tarim; poisons by means of forged
orders.
The first ems against the prisoner was the charge of
obtaining by fraud a large quantity of corn plaster from
Mr. Young, of Carthusian-street, and which has already
been reported.
Wm. Smith, detective officer, said the prisoner lived in
White Hart-court, Brook-street, Holborn. At the pri-
soner's lodgings he found a number of printed forms
headed "memorandum," for writing orders upon, several
of Mr. Borke's business cards, some cords relating to
another cases and four duplicates.
The prisoner bad nothing to say in dofenoe, and was
fully committed for trial on this charge.
Mr. Martin (chief clerk) asked Smith how many asses
there wore against the prisoner.
Smith said he bad about 60 at present.
Only one other case was, however, taken. In this the
prisoner called upon Mr. Freeman, chemist, of Kenning-
ton-park-road, with a forged order, purporting to come
from Mr. Borke for some goods for export to Smyrna.
The prisoner had nothing to say in answer to this charge,
upon which he was also committed ice trial.

George Cooprr, 25, was brought before Mr. Burcham,
charged with assaulting John Nott, in the Borough
Market, and robbing him of a silver watch.
The prosecutor mid he was a fruit salesman carrying
on business at 198, Bermondsey-stroot On Saturday,
about 6 o'clock, he was in the Borough Market
about to purchase some currants, when he felt a
severe blow on Ida right side, and as he was
looking to see who it was he felt a tug at
his watch, and then he saw the prisoner break it from the
chain and run off with it. Witness followed him and saw
him stopped, when be threw the watch with great violence
on the ground.
In answer to the charge, the prisoner said it was the
first time he had done anything of the kind, and he
hoped his worship would belenient with him.
Mr. Burcham told him such robberies were so numerous
that he should commit him for trial, and be was com-
mitted accordingly.

CAPITALISM ♦JD WORM.

The Doily Yon is glad to witness, in the meeting eon-
vened by the Social Science Association on Saturday, a
vigorous attempt for the promotion of a better under-
standing between the trade-unionists and the capitalists,
Yr. Ruskin, with the evident sympathy of several of the
working men, desired that, instead of being based on
considerations of profit and loss, political economy should
be based on the affections. He might as rationally have
asked to base the science of astronomy on the feelings.
Hardly a thought was given at the meeting to the general
condition of the employers. Judging from the tone of the
speakers, we might infer that the possessor of capital is
unburdened with cares, while the possessor of labour is
continually buffeting with misfortune. happily the mis-
chiefs engendered by the uncompromising attitude of both
parties are gradually dying out ; and we may trust that
the movement to which Mr. Gladstone has given his sanc-
tion may issue the changes by which the whole body of the
people will be the gainers.
Though, in the abstract, inclined to regard the co-ope-
rative system of production as the higher ideal, the Star
sees that for many years the adoption of this, to any
large extent, can hardly be hoped for, and thinks it
desirable to create a system of councils, like that prac-
tically tested at Nottingham, for purposes of arbitra-
tion and conciliation. The two systems may be worked
side by side, and together or sepsrately they cannot
fail to mitigate the evils of the present state of so-
ciety, in which the bitterness of class jealousies and the
ferocity of interests struggling against each other are
subject to scarely any practical check.

Referring to the decline of speculation as a commercial
pursuit, the Daily News remarks that a City experience is
a terrible encouragement to cynicism. The concealments,
the tergiversations, the absolute falsehoods deliberately
used by men enjoying high repute when it becomes a
question of gaining a few pounds on a speculative trans-
action, certainly warrant the lowest estimate that could
be formed of modern commercial morally. It is an old
maxim in the City that if anything more than ordinarily
mean or disgraceful has been done, a firm of the most
perfect respectability is likely to be at the bottom of it.
Fortunately the role is not universal, since in that
case the future of British commerce could only be
despaired of. Another class of operators are direc-
tors who job upon the information received by
them in their official capacity, and these deserve greater
reprobation. All this is radically wrong, and the evil
is before us. "Rigging the market" has doubtless en-
riched individuals, and as surely impoverished thousands ;
but such fortunes are rarely kept. They make themselves
wings in some way, and are in the main as fleeting as the
empty distinction they have unduly acquired. The end
of it all, however, will be a just verdict of public opinion,
with well merited contempt.

THAMES.

James Oliver,aged 25 years, was brought before Mr.
Benson, charged with stealing a large quantity of pro-
perty belonging. to Mr. William Edwards, cow-keeper and
dealer in milk, in Hawkin's-etreet, Stepney.
The prisoner has been for a long time in the service of
Mr. Edwards, and occupied a room in his house. The
prosecutor had for some time suspected his wife, the
mother of four children, of indulging in familiarities with
the prisoner, and there had been quarrels in consequence.
On Tuesday night, at half-past 12, the prosecutor missed
his wife from his bed, and found her in the dark in the
prisoner's bed-room. He compelled her to return to
her room, but notwithstanding the glaring proofs of
his wife's frailty he conteneed himself with a re-
monstrance, and allowed the prisoner to remain in
his service. On Friday morning, the prisoner called
on Mrs. Harriet Rymer, the landlady of a house, No. 19,
Rutland-street, Mile-end Old-town, in the rear of the
London Hospital, and hired one room. He said he had
been living with his wife at the west end of London, and
that his missns " would arrive in the evening with the
furniture. Mrs. Edwards and the prisoner did bring fur-
niture and other property the same evening, and took pos-
session of the apartment. On the same night Mr. Ed-
wards came home and missed his wife and his property.
Sergeant Briden, a detective officer, discovered the prose-
cutor's goods, of which he took possession, and captured
the prisoner, who laid all the blame on his mistress, and
said she loved him, and would run away with him.
Mr. Edwards identified the goods and his wife's dress,
and other wearing apparel which she retuoved from her
bane.

The prisoner, in defence, said he had not stolen any-
thing. He took away the goods and boxes by permission
of Mrs. Edwards.
The prisoner was remanded until to-morrow,
