THE DAY'S NEWS,

We-give some further particulars. to-day of the
Clara transport, 'which unfortunately grounded
in the channel, shortly after sailing for India-
with the wives and children of soldiers. She
has been taken safely into Plymouth, although
making five inches water per honr. The passell*
gers immedfntely disembarked, an& the ship has
been put into. dock.
Notwithstanding the• continuance of the Buil-
ders' Strike, it. appears that about 10,000 men,
in various departments of the building trade,. are
now working under the terms of 'the obnoxious
declaration.

We learn that the trip of the Great Eastetzt. to;
Holyhead remains fixed for Saturday. But her
proceeding to sea with passengers is to. depend,
after all, upon her working during this. trip,. So
far, her engines have not obtained the maximum
speed ; but their further trial is expected to, effect
it without any difficulty.
Mr. Rowland Hill, of the General Post-office,
it will be observed, has come out in reply to the
Times on the subject of the recent inquisitorial
circular of the Liverpool Post-office, He has not,
however, it is evident, taken anything by his
motion. The reply he has received from -the
Times makes it very clear, that the whole proceed-
ing is one that is scarcely defensible.
We point, with much satisfaction, to the result
of the parliamentary revision of the borough
voters. - The revising barrister closed his comk-
_yesterday ; and the issue of his labours has been,
0.0.* the votive,' lusve strupl,-

as 1,483 Radical claims, while the Radicals have
struck off only 785 Conservative claims, thus
leaving the Conservatives in a majority of nearly
700. We are thus quite ready for a contest,
come when it may.

The extent of French support in the forcible
measures necessary for asserting European rights
to free commerce in China, appears still to be
growing smaller. The modus operandi in respect
to it, is said to have attained an alternative posi-
tion. If this be true, the expected assistance is
such as the British empire should not, and will
not, wait on. Our flag requires vindication—the
injuries inflicted on our countrymen, and on our
commerce, demand redress.

At the meeting of the ToWu Council, held
yesterday, several subjects of great local interest
were discussed. Among these may be enumerated
the questionable position in which lodging-houses
are placed, by the somewhat conflicting regulations
under which they should be managed, and the
difficulties experienced in applying those regula-
tions. The supply of water, and its liability to
abuse, formed another and an important topic of
the Council's consideration. The appointment
under theofasecon consideration stipendiaryatin of the Council o magistrateowacsilbrboy theught
reading of a memorial from the Law Society.
The desirableness of such an arrangement as the
appointment of a second stipendiary magistrate
was combated by Mr. Alderman Holme, on
various grounds. In reference to the proposed
New Post-offices in Dale-street, the Council
pronounced a resolution which was to the effect,
that unless Government shall come forward with
some definite proposal, between now and the Ist of
December next, the Health ,Committee shall pro-
ceed with the Public Offices without further
delay. These are all matters of deep Municipal
and even national interest ; but a question which
refers to the safety and comfort of the- commu-
nity—the driving of cattle through the streets of
the town—was brought under consideration of
the Council by Mr. It. Gladstone and Mr. S. R.
Graves, who made out a strong case in support of
some more workable regulation than that which
prevails. It will be seen that a special committee
on this last-named subject has been appointed.

As we expected, the Aberdeen constituiionalisms
of Lord JOHN RUSSELL have proved a rather
bitter pill for the more extreme among his sup-
porters to swallow. Many of them have already
rejected it with evident nausea, and are looking
forward to the coming democratic agitation, to
supply an antidote for their offended digestions.
It becomes us, in our turn now to ask, what
and where is the policy of Liberalism ? What
definite principle it is that Lord JOHN RUSSELL
is considered to represent ? Whether Liberalism

be not an abstraction, an
