A RAILWAY TRAIN BURNT OUT.

The Malta Times contains the following : " The
passengers by the last overland mail came to grief in Egypt.
The train containing their luggage was burnt, and the
arrived here with only what they stood in. The Packs will
doubtlew have to pay. The most unfortunate part of the
accident was the destruction of two fine elephants, a papa
and mamma, which with their infant were on their way to
England. The papa was burnt while to save his
offspring. The mamma died on board the Tanjore from
anxiety and injuries received in the mama cause. The
orphan, only the height of an English sheep, was progress-
ing famously under the ears of • cow and the ship's
butcher. We understand that the claim alone from the
portion of the peasengen on board the Tanjore is not less
than 3,0001."

Mr. BF.DFORP asked the chairman of the Markets Im-

hours the new meat market would be closed, and whether
an exception was to be made in Christmas week.
Mr. L. TAYLOR could not give a definite answer as to
when the market would be closed generally, iniumseett as
it would form a bee-law, and the committee were of
opinion that the bye-laws ought to have some ronviders-
non based on experience, and as the bye-laws ;to he
framed by the committee would have to lie submitted to
the court, and i.e further ratified by one of her Majesty's

George Smith. Printing-how-lane, eelee-shop keeper,
was placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman Chant', charged
with being drunk and attempting to commit suicide.
John JOISPS, 459, said, about ten minutes to eight o'clock
the previous night he was paring over Blackfriars-bridge
from north to south. and saw, on the west aide of the
footway a man's foot, and on looking over the parapet he
saw the prisoner hanging with his head down and sus-
pended by his foot. He at once seized him by the leg, and
with the ariistance of two working men got him back on
to the footway. He was drunk ►t the time and very much
excited.

The prisoner said he was very sorry. He did not know
what induced him to do it. He had no iuteutiou of com-
mitting suicide.
Mrs. Smith said she could not account for his doing
such a thing, unless it was that he had taken some drink,
and was stupefied by it. He had three children, and had
always been a good husband to ben
Mr. Alderman Challis said that the prisoner owed his
life to the officer Jones, and he advised him to avoid drink
in future. He would treat this as a case of drunkenness

Senor Zorilla has issued a decree, ordering that
proper measures should be taken for hastening the
completion of the works now in progress for im-

An insignificant band of Carlista, which had been
formed at Miranda, in the province of Barges,
under the leadership of a former convict, entered
the village of Rio Loma, a few days ago, and de-
manded provisions from the inhabitants. They
were, however, dispersed; two of their number

WORKING 111. Y CANDIDATES.

The comet vative journals continue to extend their sym-
pathy to Mr. Bradlaugh and Mr. thlger. The Herald pro•
tut. against the assumptiou that the liberals have any
right to *Pelt to discredit tb•ese men. Mr. Gladstone and
his 'arty have used them and aocepkal their fellowship.
and it is sinip:y shabby suit mean to endeavour to throw
them overheard because they have done their work. They
were not ashamed of the St!:elphi agitators, nor unwilling
to accept their aid in the struggle of the pad throe years;
and the underhand attempt to drive (lager from Chudica
sad Mt &Haugh from Northampton is as ungrateful as it is
Duoup.
11:e 7tifiraph says of Mr. Dradlaugh that a man who
Las brought discredit upon the party by the intemperate
vi.lenre of his haraugues —who.° election would be
SS a calamity. almost u an indignity. by the groat
body of the English liberals—and who is imperilling the
return of two staunch and le.:lest supporters of reform—
!. an r nervy in disguise.

The Dear insists that tie ehel.es electors are hound to
decide for themselves at an early day between Sir Henry
hfoere and Mr. Odger, and thinks it deserves serious cud.
siderahon whether a liberal metropolitan borough is pre.
isely the best opening for a lanikel proprietor whose chief
anxiety in INA was lest Mr. Gladstone should go farther
than was safe, whose principal wish in reference to reform
was that the agricultural counties might get increased re-
presentation, and who still continues to give the game laws
a hearty and unqualified support.

TIN lILIVORALTT OF TUE CITY OF LONDON.

The batty Neu, remarks that the Loral Mayor clout
enters upon his office under considerable advantages.
After Alderman Allen, almost any Lord Mayor must seem
a go, d cue. True, the aidinniau escaped the formal vote
of censure which was proposed yesterday ; but the thanks
offered to Lim were practically a censure. The Lord
Mayor should be, as Mr. Lawrence is, a man of business,
of discriminatiug judgment. and good seas.. A dignified
neutrality in ;rani politics, so far as his office is coa-
t-erne., ; and a ready and urbane courtoq iu dispensing
the hospitalities of the City, are qualities which poor Mr.
Allen war incapable of displaying: but which h.s desig-
nated successor may be confidently expected to exhibit.

FEMALE EMIGRATION.

theca more Miss RYE appeals to the public for
support in carrying out her plan of emigration for
young women of the poorer classes. We sincerely
hope this enterprising and benevolent lady will
meet with the success that she deserves. Miss
Rya proposes to start for Canada in the Nestorian
on the 22nd of October, and to take 100 young
women with her, to whom she promises situa-
tions in the colony as general servants, laundry-
maids, cooks, housemaids, and dressmakers. To
the uninitiated Miss livE's offer does nut appear
attractive. " Wages," she says, " are not arc's-
" sively high, they vary from 101. to 201. a year."
Now, it is well known that any respectable servant
can without difficulty obtain such wages in Eng-
hind. We ssuipect. however, that there is an attrac-
tion in Canada which England cannot supply. It
is easy enough for a good-looking girl at home to
obtain " a follower," and in some rural districts
a young woman without this appendage is looked
wn upon with contempt. On the other hand,
it is not at all easy to find • husband. A
little innocent flirtation, a little Sunday courtship
that means nothing, is ono of the perquisites of
domestic servitude. Followers may not be in this
bend, yet somehow once a week, at least, they arc
as plentiful as spring flowers. When MARY g•>Rs
to church or chapel, Jowl is always waiting for
her round the corner ; when cook puts on her
Sunday silk you may be sure that it is with the
hope that some "nice young man " will be at-
tracted by its lady-like rasCe. Index 1, the lines
the fine old song are as true now as when they
were written, and have quite as significant a
meaning to the housemaid as to the footman.

Of all the days that's in the week

lu England. however, marriage, which is a
happ'er audition than that of courtship, is by no
meats FO common ; and servants, in this respect,
are pc roars as badly off 35 lady spinsters. Net ao
in Canada. A healthy, virtuous, respectable
girl is sure to find a huaband there. and the wages
romised to good servants are not. therefore. the
chief inducement to female emigration. These
wages are all very well in the beginning. and

PINEIBURY.

Ymstrrtday morning Mr. Chisholm Anstey, the
revising barrister, rimmed his revision of the lists for the
above borough at the County Court, Duncan-terraos,
Islington. The same agents appeared as before for the
libet sl and craservative parties. The revising barrister,
on taking his seat, briefly referred to the remoras which
have induced him to remove his court from Linooln's-inn
to the place in which they ware now sitting—the main one
being to consult the convenience of the inhabitants of Mt.
Mary's, Islington. The hots for Islington were then pro-
nettled with. They are very heavy, both with regard to
occupiers and lodgers.

PIATNIN AND POLITICS.

The Times presumes that it is Lord Ebnry who
has appointed to-morrow as a day of united prayer in
view of the approaching general election, and discusses
the motive and object of this proceeding in a tone of
bantering satire. What, asks our contemporary, will
these good people pray for? It ought to be something
they will bo equally ready to thank Heaven for when the
general election is over, or, at the latest, after the debate
on the address next February. The slightest approach to
a political demonstration would be simply irreverent*, and
fatal to the religious character of the ant. Lihorala, con-
servativee, radicals, protestants, and even Rornanists, if
they otherwise conscientiously aksist, must be able
to join in the petitions. But, considering the
variety of opinions that arc likely to bu repre-
sented, there is little prospect of a "united serrino,"
so long as it contains the mo.t momentary glimpse
at the political i..sure involved, end those) issues cannot be
entirely eliminated. There is, however, something to preach
and pray for, and something to preach and pray down, if it
be roesible. By alt mean■ lot Lord Ebury and his hiendi
pray down had agents, had boor, bail spirits, bat arga-
mints, and bad practices generally. But if Lord Ebary
and his friends preach and pray against strong drink and
tiltliy lucre, they are bound to preach and pray with et zit
fervour and simplicity against intimidation, against in-
Humor, against all the highly respectable, quiet, and
poteat means ami toyed to make a man vote as somebody
wishes him to vote. It is to be presumed that the ser-
mons find j rayon will b• published, in which case the
Trawl r. =Aoki that ii there be any improvement, we shall
know to whom the honour is dne.

OUR PARIS LETTER.

(ram OUR owN comerosarar )
PAWS, TtruDAT

The pw•pularity of M. Roe htfort does not appear
to be in any way dying out ; on the contrary, the
se use of sympathy and admiration for him felt
throughout Paris, and, indeed, in most of the large
towns in France, is unmistakeable. Whatever is
designed to succeed well with the public in the
way of commercial ventures—particularly such Si
comprise toys, pipes, writing I"►por, pocket-hand-
kerchiefs, and an infinite variety of other articles,
bears a small model or impress of the well-known
Lenferne. Many of these objects secure a very
large sale, and every day some new production or
other make* its appearance with this familiar
emblem of one of the wittiest and most daring
antagonists of a sovereign and his government. I
inn afraid the bent and tenacity of the public
in this respect do not say much for the popu-
larity of the Emperor, and the inestimable
blessings conferred upon the country by his
rule. A straw will show which way tho wind
blows; and the history of the Lanterne does not
seem to put in the most favourable light the
temper of the French people towards tho
of the nation.

The Marquis and Marchioness de Caux (A.
Patti) have arrived in Paris, and the celebrated
cantatrice will perform on the opening night of

The Bourse still exhibited a downward ten-
dency; a vague uneasiness was felt, but without
any tangible reason for it. The market was ex-
cessively dull, and scarcely anything done.

REGISTRATIONS.-(THIS DAE)

CITY OF LONDON.
The revision of the lists of voters for the City of
London was resumed thin morning in tho Court of Com-
mon Pleas, Guildhall.

The liberals are repreeented by Mr. Sidney Smith and
Mr. Ledger, and the lonservatives by Mr. T. E. Harper
and Mr. Sotheni.

Mr. Wooltorton claimed In respect of his occupation of
47, Skinner-street. He stated that he left the premises in
the middle of July in consequence of the Holborn Talky
improvement. The house was tilled with what he might
teem " rubbish," but which he held was property within
the meaning of the act. He still retained the key, and
nobody else could go there.
Mr. Harper contended that there was no actual occu-
pation.
Mr. Wooltorton said that some of his books which ho
should use for the purposes of his business were in the
hour*. He denied that the fact of the corporation having
purchased the property excluded him from the rights of
tenancy.
In reply to Mr. Harper. he said he was not the tenant
of the corporation. His tenancy wonld not expire until
January, and he " held over,' believing that he was
entitled to compensation.
Replying to the Revising Barrister, he said a large pro-
portion of his goods were in the premises in August.
The Revising Barrister decided that the claim was
good. and accordingly allowed it.
the Temple will be proceeded with to-morrow. An
arrangement bas been made that there being only one
kind of objection, all the claims and objections will
he decided by arguing a typical case. The objection
will be against those who have taken part of a set of
chambers uLder a barrister, and it will be argued that,
not bring original tenants of the inn, their claim is
barred.

Frederick Anguetne Farrar, solicitor, Clement's-

Hazopekize, were brought Woe the Lord Mayor this
afternoon for final examinatioo, on the oharge of forging
and uttering a bill of exchange for 800/., purporting ti
have been accepted by the Earl of Dudley.
Mr. G. Lewis, jun., conducted the tion; Mr.
Bailey, barrister, defended Farrar; Mr. W. H. Bishop,
solicitor, defended Hallett ; and Mr. Gough, barrister
(instructed by Mr. Youngsolicitort Hastings), watched
the cam on behalf of Mr. Everstleid, • genUMan whose
aceeptemos had been forged to • bill of exchange for 360/.
Lord Dudley was now called, and proved • that the sig-
nature to the bill for WM and the a eil ged Igeeemeat be-

Be added that ha bad never previously known either of
the prisoners, and had bad no communication with Hal-

On the primmer' being asked it they had anything to
say, Farrar said he was innocent of the offence imputed to
him. Hullett said he had never received any of the money,
and reserved his defence.
Both prisoners were committed for trial, and bail was
refused.

PERSONAL LUGGAGE.

The Daily News remark' upon the difficulty of deciding in
what " personal luggage " really =mists. It has never yet
been decided exactly what it is, but several decisions have
been given as to what it is not. The oompaniss, however,
are liberal in interpreting the phrase so far as the mere
carrying of passengers' luggage is concerned, and as they
can hardly be expected to extend that liberality to caws
of loss or damage, passengers must themselves be more
careful of such luggage as may come rather doubtfully
under the description " personal."

RAILWAY

The Times discuses the question of railway administra-
tion and executive management, more particularly in re-
ference to the recent accidents on the North Western line.
Our contemporary admits that it is very hard for railway
authorities to satisfy proprietors who expect a good divi-
dend, and the public which expects good as well as liberal
service; but the simple truth is that the public has the
best of the case. The rates paid for carriage by railway,
even when reasonably measured, are high enough to pro-
vide an abundant interest upon all capital properly ex-
pended. The public stand in the position of customers
giving large orders and paying good prices. it It not their
fault if the compsnies are in difficulties say more than it
is the fault of a tenant when his landlord hecoines =bar-

able in commoners thus struggling for the limitation of

time immemorial, that it will be much surprised if the
citizens do not overwhelm this pusillanimous party by a
vote of such magnitude as to form for ever a landmark in
the City 'coals.

WHAT IS LAVA?

A TELEGRAM in the morning papers states that
" the eruption of Mount Vesuvius is increasing in
" intensity ; the flow of lava is more copious,
" and the dynamic action of the cone more
" vigorous." But what is lava ? Coming no
one knows whence, it might be suspected
to be formed of, or at least to contain,
unusual substances; but such apparently is not
the case. Here is an analysis, by M. SILVESTRI,
of lava recently thrown out of Vesuvius :—Silica,
39; limo, 18 ; alumina, 14 ; magnesia, 3 ; pro-
toxide of iron, 13 ; potash, 1 ; soda, 10 ; water,
2 ; which means that the specimen closely re-
sembled common wine-bottle glass. In short, lava,
though varying considerably in colour and solidity
or friability, and occasionally containing little
groups of crystalline minerals, would seem to be a
sort of rough natural glass or earthenware mainly
produced from sand, chalk, clay, and similar com-
mon earthy substances.

SPANISH CIVILISATION.

READERS of the late Hr. BUCKLE'S " History of
" Civilisation" will not have forgotten his chapteron
" the Spanish intellect from the fifth to the middle
" of the nineteenth century." The national vice of
the Spanish people is there described as consist-
ing in a blind spirit of reverence, taking the
form of en unworthy and ignominious submission
to the Crown and the Church. The idea of liberty,
in the true sense of the word, seemed to him
extinct. In Europe insurrections had been super-

seded by revolutions which strike at once at the
source whence injustice proceeds; but in Spain there
had never been a revolution. " The people,
" though often lawless, are never free. Among
" them we find still preserved that peculiar taint
" of barbarism which makes men prefer occasional
" disobedience to systematic liberty." Content
with what has already been bequeathed, they
were excluded from that great European] move-
ment, which, first clearly perceptible in the six-
teenth century, has ever since been steadily ad-
vancing, influencing even Russia and Turkey,
but leaving Spain unscathed. " There she
" lies at the further extremity of the Continent, a
" huge and torpid mass, the solo representative
" now remaining of the feelings and knowledge
"of the middle ages. And, what is the word
" symptom of all, she is satisfied with her own
" condition." Historians are rarely seers, and Mr.
BUCKLE was not the less qualified to describe what
had existed, because he did not see what was to
conic. We will hope that the last movement in Spain
will prove, not the mere insurrection which, as
Mt. BUCKLE said, is too often the mad and
passionate effort of ignorant persons, who are
impatient under some immediate injury, and
newer stop to investigate its remote and general
causes; but a revolution which, to the moral
quality of indignation produced by the pre-
sence of evil, adds the intellectual qualities of
foresight and combination.

Grant's election certain in November next, but the forty-
first comer* will be se overwhelmingly republican as the
thirty-ninth and fortieth. Tho elections of Tuesday last
will also affect the political oonstitution of the Senate : and
the predominance of the republicans is that body is abso-
lutely secure for some years to nine. The more antici-
pation of a democratic victory inaugurated almost a reign
of terror in many of the Southern States. The people, as
anal, discounted the Northern conomidsas before the
people had even consented to rasa* them, and effectually
warned them against conceding anythiag. Hence the
present republican reaction. The eleatione, however, in-
dicate not the public append of all that the republitea
party has done, but the public dhappreval of what &Sir
opponents prop:mato do.
The TileyrapA is also of opinion that there is no room
for doubt as to the result of the proddeatisl election. It
is, however, apparent that the begianing of the repels**
triumph will prove only the belt of treuble and
danger. That party has &beady o•ay injured the
well founded reputation which it won as the wetweettal
organiser of the war agate* the South, by its read*
administration of the nationalisms's. To all appears**,
the legacy of unbearable fanatics, inseaudag eapendlture,
and diminishing revenue, inherited hoes last °engross,
will now demand to the nut, swollen in magnitude, and
rendered more *manageable by the pledgee which the
newly-elected Commas= have freely taken.
Accepting the returns which have nese to hand as sub-
stantially correct, there can ho little doubt, the Awl
thinks, that any slender hopes of success the demean*
entertained have been completely dissipated. It is not
easy to ascertain the cause to which this result is to be
attributed, but our contemporary argues that the arro-
gance. injustice, and selfishness of the republican
party has tended to estrange from them all those
who, during and for some tine subsequent to the war,
had supported their cause. Dirt it would now seem that
this reaction, which set in two years ago, is on the *as,
and the change in feeling it mainly attributable to the
pertinacity of Mr. Johnson, in opposing the measures of
his parliament. Contrary to general ezpeotation, the
sympathies of the freedmen in the South are with their
former masters, and not with their liberatora If, how-
ever, the balance should thus be redressed in the South,
the inhabitants of the border States may conceive there is
les reason for throwing their influence into the scale
against the North.

PCBLIC IWONONT.

The nets reverts to the question of public economy,
and think' the truth is that our governments, whig
as well as tory, have usually managed to keep
themselves perversely in arrear of the prevailing fashion,
end have thus spent money without gaining real
efficiency. This policy has been conspicuously exem-
plified in the various reconstructions of the navy. These
changing fashions succeeded each other within a very few
years, and the efficiency of the navy would have con-
si..ted in providing the country with • competent force of
those vessels which were thu Duet at the time. But this
is exactly what was never done. We never left off the
old fashion soon enough or took soon enough to the
new one, and were generally provided with a large dock
of the models which were just going out. The same
policy of delay was pursued in reference to the equip-
ment of the army with the improved small arms. It is
impossible for a government to be too earned in keeping
abreast of the age. Here, for instance, is this Moncrieff
battery, which has been under odicial notice these tea
years. Had the effect of the invention been but ascer-
tained when it was first produced, it might have saved the
country millions. After all, however, the public may re-
cognise its true friend in a man lake Mr. &Redstone,
who looks with strong and even stubborn single-minded.
nees to the protection of the public puns.
