THE DEFEAT OF MR. SAMUEL MOBLETAT BRISTOL.
—The Nottingham E.rprem, referring to the defeat lot Mr.
Morley, at Bristol, says it cannot be believed for a moment
that out of a constituency of probably 14,000 voters, the
liberals, who have won every contested election in Bristol
since 1852, only number 5,000. The inference is plain.
There if a split in the party. Mr. Morley's first speeches
in Bristol so strongly exhorted the liberals to be united •
that we feared be had even then discovered some serious
disagreements amongst them. Mr. Morley would have no
difficulty in being returned by the next constituency for
Bristol, and it is only too probable that the mortification
of his friends there may urge them to attempt the same
kind of reparation that is intended to be made by his
friends in Nottingham. We hope, however, the liberals of
Bristol will not let their ineffectual seal do any more harm.
Mr. Morley has allowed himself to become their champion,
and they have suffered him to be defeated. That is surely
enough. Mr. Morley came to Nottingham and was placed
at the head of the poll. He will be restored to that posi-
tion at the next election, and therefore we trust the
liberals of Bristol will be
lood enough to let him alone.
Mr. Morley belongs to us. eis a citizen candidate of the ,
very highest type, and, notwithstanding his own mini-
' vinga, on the score of local littleness, he is the only man
who can truly represent Nottingham at the present time.
It is, perhaps, but small consolation that the Bristol defeat
has cleared the ground fora Nottingham victory, because
that was well enough assured before ; but if anything
could stimulate theiiberals of this town to reinstate Mr.
Morley in the position he occupied at the last election it
would he the refieetion that they have now a double dis-
credit to obliterate.
Usivansirr Tura. —The Archbishop of Canter-
bury has appointed Saturday next, the 9th inst., to receive
a deputation of heads of houses, proctors, fellows, and
graduates of the University of Cambridge, who will pre-
sent to him a memorial deprecating legislation by which
they say persons who are not members of the church of
England, and even persons who do not profess the Chris-
tian religion at all, may become professors or teachers in
the university. and take part in its government and admi-
nistration, and may also be elected into fellowships, tutor.
ships, headships, and other onions in colleges, and may be
entrusted with the moral control and educationi of stn.
dents, even though such students may be intended for
holy orders, and protesting against such legislation as
destructive of the connection between the university
and the church, and as tending to sever education from
Ex9i.x CHAMBER OF AGRICULTURE.—This cham-
ber discussed on Friday the establishment of
financial bam
wds. Mr. J. W. Perry-Washiton pt
Mr. Hempson, of Ramsey, moved a resolution, to the
effect that the chamber was of opinion that the interests
of occupier, generally required a more direct representa-
tion in the control of county expenditure, by the esta-
blishment of financial boards. Mr. 8. Gardiner seconded
the resolution. Mr. P. O. Papillon, late M.P. for Col-
chester, warned the chamber not to be led into lending
itself to political agitation, but moved the following amend-
meat That while this chamber fully admits the
soundness of the principle thattaxation and representation
should go together, it does not consider the establishment
of county financial boards a pressing necessity, and is satis-
fied with the oouree recently taken by the House of Com-
mons referring the whole subject to the consideration of a
inflect committee." Mr. B. Disney seconded the amend-
ment, which, however, was lost, the original motion being
carried by a considerable majority. The next mestuff
the chainha• will take place at Braintree on W
July 8, About 80 new members were elected in the seers'
of Friday.
