THE DAY'S NEWS

Between the Elections and the War News, the
public appear completely bewildered, and the rapidity
with which telegram follows telegram from the
various points of the Continent, renders it difficult
for the most attentive observer of passing events, to
keep himself.posted up as to the latest intelligence.
Yesterday was probably one of the most exciting
days that ever occurred. First, we had the announce-
ment of- an intended French loan of £20,000,000;
and another, that a treaty offensive and defensive had
been entered into between France and Russia, and
which we published in our yesterday morning's
paper, and scarcely had we gone to press with these
important telegrams, than were received a succession
of others, no less important in their character. The
facts composed in these may be summarised
thus : French troops had already violated
the neutral territory of Savoy, and had
landed at Genoa, and entered the Sardinian terri-
tory near Susa, and that the passage of the Ticino
.by the Austrians was hourly anticipated. Then
came the report from Turin, that Count Cavour,
Tuesday, delivered to Baron Kellersborg the answer
of Piedmont to the ultimatum of Austria,
and the departure of the Baron, accompanied by
a Sardinian officer, to the frontier. Following this
we had statements of the. movements of French
troops in various quarters, and later in the day a
telegram from Vienna, announcing the important
fact that Austria had accepted the offer of
the British Government for a direct media-
tion between Austria and France, upon the basis
of Lord Cowley's proposals, and that she had delayed
the declaration of war for two or three days. At
the same time, another telegram reported that the
same offer offer made to France had been rejected. It
vas believed in Paris, on Tuesday night, that it was
too late for the Austrians to make a coup d'muin
against Turin, which is two days march from their
present cantonments, as eight steam frigates left
Toulon on Tuesday morning for Genoa; they were
filled with troops, -w_hich, by means of the rail- I
way, can reach Turin before the Austrian
vanguard. The French army now collecting on the
slopes of the Alps will be of the most formidable
character. It will comprise no less than 16 divisions
of Infantry, and four divisions of Cavalry, the Artil-
lery to match. Fourteen out of the 22 Battalions
' of Chasseurs are to form part of the army of the
Alps. Genoa is to be occupied by the French as a
basis of operations, whence they can threaten the
Austrians' left flank ; and there is to be another basis
at Susa, which will be also fortified, and made a
great depot for the troops that arrive through the ,
Alpine passes.

Paris itdvices, of Tuesday, also say that the Ministry

of Police was to be re-established, after the fashion of
the First Empire, at the Senate, on that day. M. Fould
made a communication relative to the Regency, in
the event of the Emperor's departure. The army of
observation on the Rhine will be conspicuous chiefly
for its imposing force of heavy cavalry. It will con-
sist of eight divisions of cavalry, and as many of
infantry. For fuller details of the important matters
this briefly noticed, we must refer the reader to
another part of our paper.
The Election News embraces some interesting fea-
tures. It is now confidently stated that there will
be a contest in Liverpool. We have been informed,
on what we cannot but regard as the best authority,
that a meeting of Conservatives was held yesterday,
and that, after considerable discussion, it was finally
determined that, at the last moment, Mr. C.
Turner should be put in nomination in oppo-
sition to Mr. Evart. Lord Palmerston made
an election speeeh at Tiverton, yesterday/
in which he expressed his hope that this country
would have nothing to do with the war. "We may
wish success," he said, "to the good cause and
hope that the liberties of Italy will be established
on a good foundation ; but England will act a wise
part if she preserves a strict neutrality, unless.
English interests require her interference." The
opposition to Mr. Cobden has been withdrawn.
The nomination for Marylebone took place yester-
day. Up to the time of the nomination it was
thought that there would be no opposition to the
return of the late members, Sir B. Hall and Mr.
Edwin James, Q.C., but at an early hour in the
morning the hustings were completely covered with
placards, announcing Lord Stanley as a candidate,
and the opposition was persisted in, and a poll
demanded, although the noble lord has not been
consulted in the matter.

THE STRENGTH OF UNION

THE Liberal party ought, from its very designa-

tion, to be a strong party. Of course we interpret

the word liberal according to its plain 'common-sense
meaning; and the more liberally we do so, all the

more comprehensive will it make this term liberal
to appear. It means, large, broad, bounteous,

—the very opposite of what is petty,
