MA RYLEBONE ELECTION.

As the hour for closing the poll approacl3ed
yesterday, the scene is the vicinity of the hooting at Port-
Ised-plaos was most exciting, many t►oussad persons
having ammabled with • view to ascertain the anal re-
sult, and to see the successful and popular candidate.
About live minutes before four Mr. Harvey Lewis made
►is appearance in an open landau with outriders, the berms
being gaily caparisoned in bright blue ribbons. He wee
accompanied by bis lady, who came in fur a share at the
ovation which awaited the boo. member.

• position to state anything to them officially at that mo-
ment, but he thought be might venture to tell them that
he stood before that vast assembly as the member for the
great and important borough of Maryletione. (Tremendous
cheering.) The hoe. member then read the state of the
poll at o'clock amidst renewed applause. He (Mr.
Lewis) could not omit that opportunity of paying • tribute
to hie honourable and liberal opponent, Mr. Cooke, who,
when he fatind be had no chance himself, took that course
which every good Englishman, and which every sincere and
honest reformer, would do rather than eedauger the cause
to which lie was attached. lie resigned in favour of • ma-

They might perceive that he bail lost his voice, but
he had obtained that which was much better, their
voices, and depend upon it, when he went . into
parliament, he would go there to fight the battle of
the people. (Cheers.) To those who had assisted him iu
this glorious contest he owed • deep and heartfelt gratitude.
They had =detained most nobly their own cause, for his
cause was theirs, and he was proud to any that this great
battle had been won without a single sixpence being spent

at the head of the poll, and they might depend upon it that
his hest energies should be employed on behalf of his
constitneuts.
The Hoe. Gentleman resumed his meat amidst loud and
continued cheering, and be was vociferously applauded on
leaving the hustings. The Immense aseemblage thee dispersed.
We have received a number of letters from friends of
Mr. Twelvetrees repelling aspersious cast upon him by par-
tisans of other candidates. As all of these are of the
pettiest character, each as are common enough at elections,
and such as be will learn to despise when he has hail a
little more experience, we forbear to trouble our readers
with them. Considering the disadvantages under which he
came forward Mr. Twelvetrees bee nu raison to be dis-
satisfied with his reception in libuyletione, or the personal
impressions he leaves there.

THE EARL OP MANX AT DUNFERMLINE.
Wednesday the Earl of Elgin arrived at Dunferrnlfne on
his way to Broomhall, his seat in the vizinity. The muni-
cipal authorities, desirous of present* an address of con-
gratulation, made preparations to receive his lordship at the
railway station. The train conveying Lord Elgin came up to
the station dressed with dugs and evergreens about live
minutes before noon amid the acclamations of the
assembled populace. His lordship, who was sworn.

was received on the platform with heart cheering,
and immediately came forward and shook bands cordially
with the provost, the sheriff, and many others whom he re.
cognised in the crowd. The ladies having entered his lord-
alup's carriage, which was in waiting, the line of procession
was reformed, Lord Elgin walking uncovered, with the
provost and sheriff, and courteously bowing his acknow-
ledgments for the inoessint cheering of the people,
while the Rifles, mounted and ou foot, preceded by
the band of the latter, led the way to the 'rows Hall.
Here an address was read by the town clerk enlogising
the manner in which his lordship had conducted the various
public missions in which he hod been employed, and more

the country. On his lordship leaving the hall, the robin.

and Lord Elgin having entered his canine with the mem-

volunteers escorted his lordship as far as Lody's Mill.

in consequence of the remonstrances of Lord
MALMISUCIV. But, on the other hand, it does
not appear that the candidates for the office of
Attachti have increased in number, or that any steps

very simple, and, in fact, coincides with the ,
plan adopted by Lord JOHN RUMUL, in
order to obtain efficient Consuls for China
and Japan. Lord MALMILSBCHY was recom•
mended to bestow the office of Attache "according
"to a well-regulated competition." There is
at present a committee sitting upon the sub-
ject of the Diplomatic Service, and this fact
might no doubt, according to precedent, have been
pleaded against making any changes until its report
had been presented. But in the matter of the
Student Interpreters Lord JOHN RUNIF.J.L has re-
fused to postpone reform. These, however, are
minor offices. There are diplomatic appoint-
ments in the gift of the Foreign Secretary
not less important than those of incipient Con-
suls, and much more likely to excite the ambi-
tion of young men at the University. It is well
known that one of the ablest and most learned of
our English diplomatists was transferred some
eighteen years ago, from being a scholar at one
of the colleges of Oxford, to the embassy at Con-
stantinople. And now that the principle of ap-
pointing by merit young men to the consular ser-
vice has been admitted, there is no reason what-
ever why the same principle should not be ap-
plied to the appointment of Attachi:s and incipient
Ambassadors. The best answer which Lord JOHN
RC/L9ELL could make to Mr. BAILLIL COCHRANE,
if he can succeed in getting twenty members to
listen to him, would be the announcement that
henceforth the selection of AttacheS is to be by
competition.

LONDON, FRIDAY, APRIL 19.

lon J.n J„xr Rv.iuj. has written a letter to
his Royal II ighlitus the CILINCIU.I.4)II of Causajncs
Usivramrv, in which he requests the academical
authorities to name three gentlemen from among
the members of the various colleges to compete for
certain appointments as Student Interpreters in
China and Japan ; and a similar letter has been
addressed to the University of Oxford. The ad-
vantages or disadvantages attached to the offices in
question include the prospect of rising to the dig-
nity of Consul ; an immediate salary of 2001. a
year, together with the cost of the passage out ;
and the drawback of living at the other aide of the
world in a climate " more or less trying " to the
constitution. Will the proposal succeed 1 Will
any candidates from Cambridge or Oxford pre-
sent themselves I If they do, the experiment de-
serves to be repeated. If they do not, it is very
necessary to beware against assuming that the ex-
perimentof opencompetitionforappointmentain the
gift of the Foamy Miners& has failed. Indeed,
judging from experience, it should be no matter of
surprise to find no Cambridge or Oxford candidate
willing to accept the offer. Seeing the number of
appointments, civil and military, now open to public
competition, the host of Scholarships and Fellow-
ships filled by open examination, there would be
nothing strange if no one from either University
were to be found willing to become a Student In-
terpreter in China or Japan. Before a lad proceeds
to College he has generally selected his profession,
or at all events has in some sort chalked out his
course of life. Originally the limits of age—
sixteen to eighteen—proposed by Lord JOHN
RUSSZLI. were not very fortunately selected, be-
cause there are probably not ten students at
Oxford or Cambridge under eighteen, and none
who take their degree at twenty. Already his
lordship has found it necessary to make some
alteration in this respect, for in a second letter
the age has been extended to twenty-five--but for
this time only. Of the few, therefore, who are
eligible, it is hardly probable that any will be pre-
pared to cut short their University career, and
exchange the advantages attached to it for those
of a student of languages in the East. The difficulty
of inducing young men of Oxford and Cambridge
to abandon this country, even after they have
obtained their degrees, is scarcely to be exam-
rated. There is no more noble and honourable
career than that of the Civil Service of India. Of
the 845 appointments in Bengal, Madras, and
Bombay, the salaries range from 1,0001. to 5,0001.
a year ; and even upon first arriving in India the
young writer receives about 4001. a year. Canal-
d,ering the wide range of age presented for can-
...

endates--eighteen to twenty-three—that no par-
ticular cause of special studies is required for the
Best examination, and that in fact anyone well pre-
pared to take high honours at any of the principal
English or Irish universities has a good chance of
success, and that his attempt to obtain one of these
numerous prizes, even if unsuccessful, would
hardly, if at all, interfere with hie academical
progress, it is natural to suppose that there would
be no lack of eligible candidates. Nevertheless it
appears that in the year 1858, out of all the
candidates, there were only twelve from the Uni-
versity of Cambridge, of whom three were success-
ful, whilst of the thirty from Oxford only nine were
successful. Under such circumstances it may pos-
sibly happen that no one at either University maybe
prepared to accept the offer of Lord Joint Ros-
eau. But even should the result be such, it will
prove nothing against the competitive system. It
will merely show, what seems by no mean@ im-
probable, that the class of young men who go to
the University is not the clans to be tempted by
2001. a year and the prospect of becoming in time
a British Consul, to abandon this country for •
residence in China or Japan.
The letter, however, of Lord J011:4 RCIVIELL
proves ens thing—that, in his opinion, the com-
petitive system furnishes the best means of
obtaining young men to fill the post of Consuls
abroad. At Boulogne, at Calais, or in the Medi-
terranean, any broken-down military officer, or
ci-devs•t Baku BIMMMELL, may get through the
duties of • Consul. But in the East it is other-
wise. At all events, if the Hon. HOWLILD Voss
was able, with his imperfect knowledge of his
native tongue, to conduct the consular business, it
is difficult to understand why Lord JOHN Russsu.
should have written this letter to his Royal High-
ness the Cambridge CHANI'LLLOIL It is but fair to
mune that a Consul in the Ernst requires to be a
sees of male and «location, and that in order to
sewn these qualities Lord Joan Russtu has
adopeed the means which experience has
already proved to be moat effectual for the purpose.
But why atop at Student Interpreters and Consuls 1
If • public competition can secure the best man to
1111 these offices, why should it fail to enure the best
man for the office of Attache? The lamentation
of Lord IL.' VESBVILY over the want of candidates
for the office of unpaid Attache is still fresh in our
recollection. In the year 1858, from the remote
highlands of the north, he declared his inability
to carry on the business of the Foreign-office if
the Civil Service Commissioners persisted in re-
jecting his nominees for ignorance in spelling and
such ornamental accomplishments. At that time
the state of things was such that the list of candi-
dates, which in 1859 amounted to thirty-one, had
been reduced to Iwo, and it was confidently pro-
dieted by Lord 11xxiirescar that if the Civil
Service examiners pernsted in their unprac-
tical course, the increase of the labour
of the AttachOi on duty as well as a
curtailment of the leave of absence would be the

LAM? night the Army Estimates were discussed
in the House of Commons with more than usual
judgment, and with a concurrence of desire for
the efficiency of the service and a wise administra-
tion of the public money. But where were our
friends the Financial Reformers 1 Some of them
were in their places, attending intelligently to the
important interests before the House. But
others, and those some of the loudest to complain
with cheap and unenquiring generality of the mag-
nitude of the public expenditure, were absent. That
flagrant job, the creation of the office of Major-
General of the Guards, against which Lord ALraan
Caracaux., a Conservative, appealed to the sense
of Parliament, and which has been condemned by
one military authority after another, was allowed
to go practically unrebuked in a House of 175.
Four more votes on the right side would have
been sufficient to put a stop to this waste of the
public money. We have, as Colonel Down's
observed, a Staff sufficient for an army of 500,000
men. How can Lord PanizairroN ask the
House to place confidence in the military authori-
ties, when they take advantage of their position to
multiply unnecessary poets for the sake of indivi-
dual officers whom it may be wished to gratify!

THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, A.PRIII 19,
LATEST INTELLIGENCE. 7 After the speech of Count Cav4 Garibaldi
again spoke, and demanded that the nation should
be armed in the same manner as in England. He
designated the French army as an enemy of Italy,
because it occupied Rome. Garibaldi indicated, as
a means for reconciling the different parties of the
country, the reorganisation of the army of volun-
teers, and its immediate despatch to the Two
Sicilies, for the suppression of all disturbances.

TURIN, Aram 1&
Garibaldi was present at to-day's sitting of the
Chamber of Deputies, and was received with such
an outburst of applause that the business of the
chamber was temporarily suspended. Garibaldi
took his seat on the Left, at the aide of Signor
Macchi.

THE BOMBAY MAIL

Baron Ricasoli then put his interpellation rela-
tive to the southern army, and requested the
ministry to state their motives for disbanding the
army of Southern Italy, and what prompted the
measures ordered to be taken for its reorganisation.
General Fanti, the Minister of War, defended
the measures which had been taken, and said that
the system of volunteering was not always favour-
able to discipline. He said it was impossible to
incorporate all the Garibaldian officers in the
royal army with the rank they previously held.
He justified the measures which had been taken
with regard to the Bourbon army, and concluded
by reviewing the state of the royal army.
Garibaldi then pronounced a speech so violent
that it excited a tumult in the chamber. He
made offensive allusions to the Ministry, against
which Count Cavour protested.
The President of the Chamber put on his bat,
and the sitting was suspended for several moments.
Garibaldi, in resuming his speech, spoke with
more moderation. He defended the conduct of his
comrades in arms, and said that the formation of
three divisions of volunteers as decreed was not
I sufficient for a national armament.
General Bixio, who spoke with much warmth,
recommended concord and conciliation. His speech
was received with loud applause.
Count Cavour said he accepted the words of con-
ciliation expressed in the speech of General Bixio,
and declared that he would forget the unpleasant
incideuts of the sitting. Count Cavour then gave
some explanation respecting the armaments, and
concluded by laying stress on the importance of the
present phase of the national movement.
Garibaldi explained several facts alluded to by
Count Cavour, and expressed his belief that Cavour
loved Italy. He concluded by explaining his
reasons for desiring the re•organiaation of the
volunteers in Southern Italy.
Several orders of the day were then proposed,
and the discussion was adjourned till to-morrow.
