THE MARQUIS OF SALISBURY AT

:11.4 NCHESTER.

"We must be one people," said Mr. BRIGHT
the other day at Birmingham, in congratulating
his constituents on the new era of justice and re-
conciliation which the liberal legislation of an
expiring Parliament had opened to the great
body of the people. Among the signs of this
new era may be noticed an event which
took plaee at Manchester yesterday.
How long is it since all the Tory jour-
nals end all the Tory men, whenever they
wanted a moral brickbat to heave at a political
adversary, called Lim a " member of the
" Manchester school," as a certain class of
religious controversialists call a man who
differs from them an " atheist," and so dispose of
his arguments and his reputation ? The Man-
chester school, in the Tory phraseological dic-
tionary, was synonymous with all that was un-
patriotic, subversive, destructive, and, in a word,
un-English. Imagine a Tory nobleman, a
Tory of the Tories, who could not consent to
swallow the formulas of the " educated"
section of Lis party, and to sacrifice his prin-
ciples to office, being invited to Manchester by
the Chamber of Commerce in that city, and re-
ceiving, among other testimonies of cordial re-
spect, addresses of thanks from the Cotton
Supply and the Cotton Spinners' Associa-
tions, acknowledging his generous and
enlightened administration of Indian affairs ?
Surely this is one of those incidents
which to the future historian of this country will
seem to mark a peaceful revolution in its political
and social relations. It looks es if the barrier of
strangeness and distrust between the hereditary
territorial aristocracy and the democratic poten-
tates of an industrial epoch, were breaking down,
and thet the great principles which have so long
Leon the watchwords of an advanced party, were
becoming the common property of public men of
ull parties, orders, and degrees, with any preten-
sions to statesmanship. This emphatic recog-
nition of Lord HALIBBVItY'S Indian admi-
nistration by the representatives of Manchester
interests shows that the mercantile spirit is
not incompatible with a heurty admira-
tion for those chivalrous qua] i ties which
Lord MALISIsiItY has displayed as a statesman in
Lis policy, and in his resignation of office. Tho
manner in which he speaks of the tremendous
responsibilities of the government and people of
England towards the people of India, the know-
ledge and judgment with which lie treats

OXFORD UNIVERSITY POLITICS.

A GLANCE over the names on Sir ROUNDELL
PALMER'S committee at Oxford indicates pretty
clearly to any one acquainted with that Univer-
sity that whatever public or private worth,
or personal influence, or rank, or titles
may surround Mr. GATIIORNE HARDY, Sir ROCS-
DELL PALMER is evidently the accepted represen-
tative of Oxford brains. Looking down the list at
random we find the Regius Professor of Divinity,
the Rev. BENJAMIN JOWILT, the Marquis of SAL'S-
BL BY, Sir Joiis COLERIUOE, Dr. Hoox, Mr. CABO-
WELL, Professor MAX MULLER,Mr. MATTHEW AR-
NOLD, Sir ROBERT PUILLIMORE, Professor PLUMB-
TEE, Dean STANLEY, the heads of six Colleges and
two halls, all the ablest Professors and tutors,
and a host of country clergymen. Without dis-
reqN.Ct. to Mr. Bunny's respectable name,
we may venture to say that the Liberal
candidate's list has nothing to do with the
" stupid party." Nor, indeed, is it limited to any
one political or ecclesiastical section of opinion.
High Church and low Church, Conserva-
tives and radicals are found side by side.
It may be said, perhaps, that there is a shade of
difference between Sir Rouxnxi.i. PALMER'S can-
didature and that of Mr. CilLsperortz ; that Sir
Rotmu, PALMER differs in some degree from
his chief on the Irish question. Enough for the
moment to know that Sir ROUNDEL'. PALMER is
certainly not a Disraelite, and that he is supported
alike by some of the most illustrious of English
Churchmen and by the whole Liberal party.

b.-NOUSE YINAKCING IR DRUMM.

The Zit"e gives a succinct account of the transactions
alleged, "but not yet proved," to have occurred between
en Luglich company represented by Mr. Frederick Doul-
ton, M.l'. for Lambeth, and Mr. Albert Grant, on the one
part, and the corporation of Brut,*la on the other. In
18% Mr. Doulton proposed, in conjunction with certain
colleagues, to undertake certain public works far the city
of Murals, including the drainage of the city, the purifi-
cation of the river Benne, and the construction of modern
lodging L0u.... Mr. Doulton obtained from the city
authorities the privilege of conducting the undertaking,
aid of realising the legitimate profit/ to be derived from
co extensive an enterprise. In this capacity of 6,44.41.
skerarre Le entered into negotiations with certain con-
factors for the actual execution of the works in con-
templation, and it is alleged that, whereas these con-
tractors rea.ly undertook the work for • sum of
498,000/., Mr. Doulton represented the agrooment
as being for (P 8,000!., leaving a difference of
100,0001. to be appropriated by himself and others.
Our centemporary, however, understands, from the ex-
planation given by Mr. Doulton on the subject, that the
excess of one contract above the other represents the ex-
penses incurred in the original acquiiitisn of the ;conces-
sion itself, and that these preliminary costs, like all other
crests, were charged by Mr. Doulton upon the general
indeutakiug. The Times dues not prejudge the cue by
commenting upon its general featured so far as
they have already been made known, but con-
fine* its strictures to that portion of the evidenee
relating to the expenditure for procuring the support of
the Belgian press. It, mays the Tints, the sum of 100,0001.
was actually disbursed in securing a favourableacceptance
for the Brussels scheme, it may be admitted that the share
obtained by the press-1,600/.—waa not a large one; but
in the interests of a profession which ought to be beyond
suspicion as well as stain, our contemporary expresses •
decided condemnation of even that degree of venality
which the Belgian journalista have not denied.

The Tit?, fa Indict* n rumour ourrent yostord
tint the eh-Minns wile to be postponed for a week. the
(tact of which would be that the debate oa the aldreis
could not be closed in enfiladed time to ooatrol the policy
of the mining year; but our coatemporary only mile:with*
ii Fort to deny its authenticity. It is, however, a painful
initance of the suspir:on which attaches to the initiation i
of the parent administration that such a belief s►ould
fli.d Lurteney for an hour. There is, indeed, nothing bat
tho well-understood agreement that the writs should issue

on the IRh of neat Loth to prevent the elsetiosa Wag
held before that time, but the same reason which prisvests
• postponement prevents an anticipation of the day, and
the ?ewes therefor* moats with confidence that the writs
be hard on the day &beady axed upon.
'he lastly Newt insists that it Mr. Disraeli were to be
guilty of the trick which this rumour imputes to him, he
would clearly break • distinct essmement to whir* ke
was • party. He is bound, so fez as words can bind
him, to allow the new parikimant to be eanissonsd, and
the thvisivu isms to be takes before Oluistmas. Here is
but one man of high political position in Ragland w►om
his countrymen would deem capable of each • coarse of
conduct as that now suggested. But that man is the
Trims Minister. There axe sot more than • dusen poLi.
ticians who would be •coomplioss in such an sot of
treachery; but those dome are Mr. Disraeli's colleagues.
The or rays the country will ring with indignation if
this sorry amaceuvre prove to be really to oontemplatioa,
and there is time between to-day sad Saturday to evoke
I,uch • declaration of public opinion as will make it per•
fectly Lopatin, for Mr. Disraeli, bold and contriving as
Le is, to think of making his colloaguits accomplices in the
design which is attributed to him.

ALICTION.

Looking at the election from • university stan I point,
without icgaid to party interests, the 'braid maintains
that it would be the greatest, of all errors were Oxford to
fawn • man whose ieputation and political connections,
Irks those of Sir Roundel! Palmer, would seem to oast •
doubt taxon her fidelity to these vital principles, from
whose success it might be concluded that she was net
wholly averts to the disentabliatiment of the national

church, and the secularisation o her own educational
system.

UNDUE INFLUENCES.

Tux " undue influences " brought to bear upon
electors are numerous enough already, and any
addition to their number is to be deprecated. We
read in the Morning Herald that "a densely
" crowded and most enthusiastic meeting at Rye
" was addressed last evening by Mr. J. STEWART
" HARDY, the Conservative candidate, and by his
" father, Mr. GATIIORRE HARDY, the Home
" Fecretary, who in a speech one hour and a
" quarter in length, discussed the Reform
" Bill and the question of Conservative
" expenditure, and dwelt at length upon the
" Irish Church question. In closing his speech the
" right hon. gentleman said, amidst thunders of
" applause, Be deterred by no intimidation, be
" coiruptod by no inducement, but give your
" ' votes honestly and conscientiously, so that
" ' when you lay your heads on your dying pillow,
" ' you may say, ' I did my duty at a great and
" " vital crisis in the face of my country and my
" " OOD:" " In other words take taro that
in your last moments you can reflect on having
voted for Mr. J. STEWART HARDY and Mr.
Ditiallim. We hope, however, the " dying
" pillow," will be kept out of these contests.
Mr. HARDY, Jim., may be a worthy son and
nephew, but we object to the death-bed being
brought in as an election agent on his behalf. In
the distribution of future rewards and punish-
ments, we trust that a vote against Mr. 114.antr
will not be put down on the debit side of the
account.

The quantity of English wrest received fresh up at
Mark-lane this morning was very moderate, but the qua-
lity was good. The attendance of millerswas limited, and
sales in both red and white ,paroels progressed slowly, at
Monday's quotations.
With foreign wheat the market was well supplied. The
denisud was unitive at shout late rates.
Floating cargoes of wheat were dull and drooping.
Maize end other descriptions of produce eJloat were firm
in value.
Moderate supplies of barley ware on sale. no trade
was firm, and the value of all descriptions was well sup-
ported.
Malt changed hands to • limited extent, at previous
quotations.
In oats • full average business has been passing, and
good sound corn commanded very full prices.
Beaus were firm, and gads as dear.
Fees sold quietly, at late currencies.
Flour was dull, on former terms.

The Patrie says that a second portion of the
French army in Italy is coining home and that
General de Failly is coming with it. A single
division will be left under the command of General
Dumont. If. therefore, it be true, as the Prance
says, that a coup d'ttat in Italy is imminent, the
calculation here must be that Victor Emmanuel
is strong enough to accomplish it without much
French help. It may be, however, and this
version is more probable, that without the neces-
sity of any coup d'itat Italy is sufficiently humbled
and weakened to obey French orders with meek-
ness and resignation. The return of General de
Failly will be very handy to help the loan, and
nothing would be easier than to send him back
again after the loan is launched.
The Bourse opened with very great firmness, and
Route rose at one moment to 68fr. 70c. for cash
and 68fr. 57tc. for account ; but there was atter-
wards a considerable reaction, and the closing prices
were 68fr. 50c. for cash (with a fall of roc.) and
68fr. 474 c. for account (with a rise of 2ic.). In
other securities there was little change One conso-
lation for the loan which the Cuattitetionnei holds
out to its readers is not justified by experience. It
says that inasmuch as subscribers are allowed
twenty months to pay up their instalments, there
can be no apprehension of war within that period;
but it is on record that the Crimean war broke
only four months after a large loan, also payable
by protracted instalments, and that long before
these instalments came due another loan was de-
manded. The twenty months delay
s, in f
two or tacthree, no
security at all for peace, because, af
instalments are paid, nothing but a very heavy fall
indeed could prevent it being worth the while of
holders to pay up the remainder. If war conies,
another and larger loan will be made on more
onerous terms for the taxpayer—that's all.

that wherever charitable relief is most easily ob-
tainable, there the concourse of poverty and spare
is largest and most repulsive. It can scarcely be
mid that in South London there are not sufficient
means for meeting the distress. East Greenwich
andDeptford excepted, the number of local well-to- I,
do people is very considerable and therein nolack of
soup kitchens, and similar charitable institutions,
although there is certainly room for more. In &lithe
places abovementioned large numbers of Irish reside,
and it speaks much for their loyalty that, with the
exception of Deptford, ?animism has little, if
any, hold in those districts. A ramble through
the immediate neighbourhood of the riverside,
!from Dockhead to Greenwich, shows that there
exists plenty of room for the employment of the
able-bodied poor in cleansing the minor streets, as
in Bethnal-green. Nothing, however, seems likely to
be done in this direction—soup-kitchens, bread
and coal tickets, and Scripture-reading apparently
forming the favourite local for relieving
the prevalent destitution. Walworth, Newing
ton, and Southwark, the various religious denonu-
nations appear to have quietly and unpretentiously
taken upon themselves the task of mitigating as
far as possible the distressed condition of their
poorer neighbours. The principles of temperance
and self-help, toe, have evidently sande more pro-
in the southern portion of the metropolis an
Burt boollon—a simescatenee-ainrsiesse- those
attributable to the agencrefr the various social
movemeind inintinretiatiy thelter Newmgi Sae
and'ithers, sAd of which the resamicable Lam-
beth Baths' winter meeting* form, as it were, the
focus. On the whole, it appears that on the mouth
side of the river, East Greenwich and part of
Deptford afford the closest parallel to the unfor-
tunate state of affairs existing in East London, and
it becomes a question of thoughtful consideration
whether it would not be advisable to include those
two plasm in the plan for operations embraced by
the—by this time, we hope—united relief com-
mittees. At any ;ate. a portion of the assistance
now flowing towards the east might be spared in
ihia of the south.

THE BANKBOPICT BILLE OP THE LOVEENMENT.

The great scheme, observes the Post, of redistributing
the jurisdiction of all our courts, proposed by Lord Cairns,
involves changes too great to be carried out in the pre-
sent session. The Poet would hove the bankruptcy
administration dealt with, and a short measure abolishing
imprisonment for debt, and enacting that the after-
acquired property of a bankrupt should be liable for an-
tecedent debts, upon the application of creditors, at the
discretion of the court, for the period of elk years ; that
all misdemeanours should be sent for trial to the criminal
courts ; that all conveyances and assignments of property
made within three months of adjudication should be ab-
solutely void ; that all ascents under trust deeds should
be verified by affidavit and registered in court ; and that
all debts under trust deeds should be proved as in bank-
ruptcy.

AN KIPLDMON TO THIRST.

The Times gives some account of an expedition which
has been made beyond the Himalayas to Tbibet. The
exclusive people of that region allow no Englishmen to
go there, and a couple of natives In India were conse-
quently trained to be surveyors, and sent across the
mountains with ecientifio instruments ingeniously con-
cealed. One of them only euceeeded in getting into
Thibet. He, however, did contrive to carry out his in-
structions, and in the coon of eighteen months of travel
went all over the great road and all along the great
river, got to Lama itself, took tea with the Grand
Llama, and returned to Bengal with his " observations" in
excellent order. Fin► cities, broad bikes, prodigious mo-
nasteries with populations of priests equal to parliamen-
tary boroughs, immense caravansaries as large as joint-
stook hotels—these are some of the prominent features of

the picture. For the net, a " great number of meridian
altitudes," a route survey of 1,200 miles, and " determi-
nation of the heights of 33 points," represent the purely
scientific fruits of the expedition—results which appear,
in a general way, to agree satisfactorily with what we
knew before. The Times sees in the story fresh reason for
praising the sagacity of oar Viceroy in declining to send
British envoys to countries like these.

ME. HARE'S SCHEME OF REN3TSIBUTION.

The Telegraph describes the above scheme as one for the
delocaliestion of constituencies, rather than for giving
presentatives to minorities. The objections to it are grave.
Three thousand tortes could conspire and return the
fiercest fanatic they could find. Thom thousand whip
could conspire and return the personage who, aocord-
ing to Dr. Johnson, was the first whiz. Three thou-
sand radicals could conspire and elect their wildest man.
Proposed in London, a rich and inferior candidate, he
might collect support from tho whole kingdom, and no
place in particular would be associated with his ill fame,
or be responsible for sending him to parliament. A unani-
mous constituency of three thousand would return him, in
defiance of the whole county. Mr. Hare's constituencies,
moreover, would be scattered, and bribery would be easy
with them. The plan, in short, would tend to facilitate
the election of disreputable moneyed men, to help bribery,
and to diminish the responsibility of our representatives.
It might have incidental advantages, but the evils are far
more apparent.

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHCIT'F.E.

The Star is particularly disgusted with the appointment
to the Chancellorship of the Exchequer. Of what use, it
asks, are the experience, the wisdom, the foresight, the
authority of its esteemed public men, if the most irnpor-
tent offices are to be handed over to the keeping
of obscure mediocrities, who are as incapable of
shaping out a new beneficial policy as they
are of understanding the old? To save them-
selves from ignominious exposure they might hare been
content to adopt the taxes which their predecessors had
laid on ; but, unfortunately, they hare embarked on a
foolish war, and they must provide supplies in aid of the
expedition. Moreover, with a Chancellor of the Exche-
quer possessing no more authority than the youngest
clerk in the Treasury, every department will in-
crease its demands upon the Exchequer, in
order th►t hungry followers may have their mouths
filled with the good things of official patronage.
Perhaps Mr. Diemen has taken the correct measure of the
present House of Commons. He may see that he has only
to cajole and flatter, to be permitted to do what seemeth
good in his own eyes. A few days will disclose whether be
ham judged rightly, or whether he him presumed too far
upon the indulgence which he received last session wheu
changing front in presence of the enemy, and teaching
his Ward Hunts and others to follow his dexterous
strategy.

abstain from further participation in political life,
thus intimates his individual opinions:
I gladly avail myself of this opportunity to express my
continued hearty sympathy with the democratic enure,

constitutional principles for which the recent war
was undertaken by the North. Separated as I thus
am from the distinguished soldier who has been
chosen as the leader of our opponents, I know that
you will agree with me in the highest respect for
the service he has rendered our country; Lot it is my
conviction that the measures of the party which has
placed him in nomination are Lut continuations of strife,
and can never restore peace or constitutional supremacy,
and thus complete the work which he and other
brave soldiers so ably commenced. The war was
only the first epoch in the history of the
struggle in which we have been so long engaged.
The work of the soldier is, I trust, for ever ended, and it
remains for the people to fulfil the greater objects for
which they or their sons and brothers were called to the
field. A restored Union of States anal hearts; an in-

In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the witness said that the

INQITEST.—(THIS DAY.)
This (Saturday) morning, at 10 o'clock, Mr. Bed-
ford. the deputy-coroner for Westminster, held an inquest
in St. James's Vestry-hall, Piccadilly, on the by of
Mr. Charles Newman, aged 69, who committed suicide
under circumstances detailed in the following evidence :
Mr. Arthur Compton Ryan, solicitor, of 3A, Lincoln's-
inn-fields, raid that-he had known the deceased for many
years. Ile was a job master and he resided at 121, Regent-
street. Witness acted as his solicitor, and had noticed
that lately he had been in a desponding state, owing to
his being over-taxed in business, but on Thursday last he
teemed in better spirits. Ile was of a highly nervous
temperament.
Henry Darnell. of 121, Regent-erect, foreman to the
deceased, deposed to having been called by Mrs. Newman.
who expio.ted her fear that her husband had been scud
with a tit in a closet. The door was forced open,
and the deceased we discovered, still alive, with
his threat cut. Medical resistance was obtained, but
death ensued shortly afterwards. Witness saw Mr. New-
man 19 minutes hefore his wife called him: he then
appealed cheerful, but during the afternoon ho walked
about the yard. and seemed " lost in his mind." Ile had
been in that state fur the last two months. U. was a
humeral(' num.
Mr. Charles Keys. F.R.C.S.. deposed to the nature of
the injuries inflicted by the deceased upon himself.
Mr. Jklemy Harding, of 18, tlrafton-street, Bond-street,
member of the College of Physicians, said he had attended
the dec.ased for the last tifteeu years. Physically
his health had been good, but mentally he had during the
last three months not been in his right mind. although he
was lucid at intervals. He thought that he took a more
desponding state of his affairs than there were any grounds
for. A short time ago he visited him at his farm, when
Lis language was unconnected, which convinced him that
his mind was disordered.

Other evidence proved that the mind of doces‘eil had
become impaired by a pressure of businetr.
110 Cori ner summed up. and the jury returned a ver-
die that the deceased .destroyed hie own life by cutting
his throat with a razor. he being at the time in a state of
unsound mind."

saulting Walter Chaffs with a whip, whereby he has lost

Covent-garden Market with other boys, picking up nate
which a man threw away. The prisoner was there, and
struck him with a whip, end " slashed" his eye out, say-
ing that be (prosecutor) wanted to steal his pears.
Dr. Jabez H ,of Bedford-Num*, M.R.C.8., and of
the Royal Ophthalmic Hospital, said the boy bad been
unda• his care for three weeks. A chromatic cataract bad
formed, and the sight of the eye was irrecoverably gone.
The prisoner told a pitiful tale about the loss of his
wife, and said the injury was unintentional on his part.
Mr. E. W. Con—Have you any children of your own ?
Prisoner—God, in his merry, has taken them all from
me. A short time after that I lost my arm, as you may
see. No one can know the misery and pain I endured for
about two years.
Dr. Hogg, who had acted with great kindness in the
matter, said the prisoner had expressed great regret for
what he had done, and had offered to oompensate him.
After some deliberation,
The Judge said, considering all the facts, he should
order the prisoner to enter into his own recognisance' to
come up for judgment if be sheuld be called upon.
The prisoner seemed very grateful for the leniency shown
him.
