even of these who profess themselves stanch sup.
porters of the present rulers. The Irish are all
arrant Democrats,—indeed, furious Secessionists ;
but the Germans, who were almost all on the other
side, are now greatly divided among themselves.
Their tribute in blood has been the heaviest; one

what its
result ?

It is upon these grounds that many of the Demo-
crats lay their hopes that their party may prevail
in the approaching trial of strength, at least so far
as the " home vote" is concerned. They think that
Government may make the most of the soldier's
vote, for every man in the ranks of the army now
in the field, or anywhere in active service, belong-
ing to the state of Ohio, will be made to vote away
from his place of residence, the officers presiding at
the military poll, whenever and wherever 20 voters
may be gathered together to enter their tickets.
How many calling themselves Ohio soldiers may
happen to be strangers to the State, how many
may be non-naturalized aliens, what dependence
may be had on the fair dealing of the polling
officers, to what extent the soldier's vote may
be biassed by his sense of subordination to his
leaders, the framers of the new law never stopped
to consider. The Emperor of the French taught
Europe what an efficient electioneering engine the
army might be turned into. Were the Democrats
.
really to carry the home vote, and only to be beaten
by the suffrage extorted from the army, the victory
of the Government would be of little more avail to
them than the great one of Kentucky or the earlier
one of Maryland, and, oven if the Republicans ob-
tained a clear and honest advantage in this Ohio
and all other contests, the position of the Govern-
ment would not thereby be materially improved.
It is good for no vessel to sail with too much wind
astern, and rope may be given to a man till he hangs
himself therewith.

The rabid Radicals are far more dangerous to Mr.
Lincoln and his Cabinet than the meek and sober
Democrats. They have already forced him into
many an impolitic, inhuman, impracticable mea-
sure. They daily become more overbearing, more
exacting. Their violence and intolerance know no
limits. The members of the Cabinet are already
depasses, outsped by rabid demagogues; not all the
members, however, for some of them, at least, have
the ranters on their side, and they strive to outwit,
to outrun, to overreach their colleagues in the race,
preparing against the day when the Lincoln boat is
to be swamped, when the cleverest of the crew Will
be those who first rat from it.

MISS BRADDON'S NEW NOVEL.

Eleanor's Victory. By M. E. Braddon. Three vols.
Tinsley Brothers.

Ibesides being not nearly so enthralling as either of
Ithose two wonderfully interesting narratives, ends
altogether too happily for the sectiring to itself
of any such popularity. The green curtain falls like
a last pang completing and perfecting the poignant
emotions excited by a tragedy. But there always
seems to us an intolerable insipidity in the " dressing
up" of the dramatis persones, the heavy father, the
youthful lover, the fair young lady who loves him
and is beloved, the shrewish mother-in-law, the low
comedy serving man, the pretty abigail, with the
neat waist and ancles, and that everlasting apron
with the preposterous little watchpockets—the
"drawing up" of the whole set of these " in line"
behind the footlights as the curtain descends upon
the last scene of a genuine five-act comedy. Worse
even than the sense of insipidity taus produced is
that caused by the announcement of something
like the happy living together ever afterwards
of good and bad alike at the end of a
romantic story like this one about " Eleanor's
Victory." The ,Bride of Lammermoor would
certainly not possess the glamour with which it is
so resplendently endowed by the genius of Sir
'Walter, if the Master of Ravenswood had not been
swallowed up in the quicksands, if Lucy had not
been discovered, the morning after her nuptials, mad
and blood-bespattered in the chimney corner. As
for the Old Curiosity Shop it would never have been
held (as it is) in almost sacred remembrance by us,
sanctified by our tears for the death of Little Nell
—had Miss Trent been discovered in the nick of
time and brought home, in ruddy health
and a carriage and four, by her in every
sense Punchy uncle, the good-natured Single Gen-
tleman ! Particularly if Mr. Daniel Quilp, of
Tower Hill, had turned out a reformed character,
making it up permanently with Mrs. Jiniwin, and
frequenting Little Bethel out of a pure spirit of
devotion, Pane a deux panniers, with Mrs. Nubbles
on one arm and Miss Brass upon the other. We
don't believe in these sudden transformations. We
only tolerate them about Christmas time, and then
only for the pure love of fun, in the gorgeous halls of
bliss, or the fairy dells of delight at the tran-
sition stage of the pantomime. Launcelot's
exemplary after-life will be unwelcome, we
believe, to the majority of the readers of
"Eleanor's Victory." Apart from that distastefully
insipid incident, the new story here completed by
Miss Braddon is fully entitled to that cordial recep-
tion which it is now receiving every day more and
more widely, by right of her expanding and ex
pending reputation.

PROSPECTUS..

- -
The Discount Corporation is established to aid the mone-
tary arrangements of the increasing commercial interasts of
Great Britain and its dependencies.
In founding this undertaking the Directors have secured
the co-operation of an old and highly-respected Discount
Firm in London. with whom arrangements have been made
for the transfr of its lucrative bus,ness to this corporation,
and two of whose partners join the Direction. It will thus
ba manifest that the Dis-ount Corporation starts with a
large and valuaole connection, and acquires the experience
of Directors whose influence and intelligence are certain to
command the confidence of the public.
The material b9sis of the Corporation will be a large sub-
scribed Capital, judicially distributed.
The recent creation of several large Indian and Colonial
banking institutions, coupled with the expanding home and
.conthientil trades of the country, and the greatly extending
commere.al transactions with India and the Colonies, led to
the conviction that greater discounting facilities than at pre-
sent exist are required
A n e stablishment, which from its ample means will be able
to supply such requirements, will no don t be favourably re-
ceived by the trading community, and will at the same time
afford a safe and profitable return equally to those who seek
the permanent investment of their money, and to those who
merely desire the temporary employment of their surplus
Innds. _ _ _

The known profitable operations of the old private D's.
count Firms, and the new Discount Companies, give the as-
surance that a purl. Discount business, prudently managed,
will prove a comulete success.
The Head Office of the Corporation will be in London.
No promotio ,-money will be given for originating the
Ymdertaking, and the pre'im;nary expenses will be strictly
confined to such as are indispensable.
Applications for Shares m be addressed in the annexed
form to the Dir ctors, end copies of the prospectus may be
obtained at the Temporary Offices of the Corporation, or at
the Offices of the Brokers and Solicitors ; but no application
will be considered unless a deposit of £1 per snare on the
number of shares applied for has been paid.

CELEBRATION of the TERCENTENARY of
the BIRTH of SHAKSPEARE, at Stratford-upon-
Avon. The Tercentenary Committee (of which Sir Robert
N. C. Hamilton, Bart., K.C.8., is Chairman) are now receiv-
ing SUBSCRIPTIONS, and they may also be paid to e
account of the Tercentenary Committee. at the Stourbridz

Smith, Payne, and Co , Messrs. Hanburys and Co., or Messrs.
Glyn and Co., bankers, London.
The Tercentenary Committee, in submitting the subscrip-
tion list to the nation, most earnestly appeal to the admirers
of Shakspeare for their aid and assistance. The Committee
rest their claims upon the ground that Stratford is not only
the birthplace of Shakspeare, but the centre of attraction to
all admirers of the great Poet's works, and that it was his
home, the town he luved, and where he lived and died.

THE CHINESE INDEMNITY !—A Parliamen-
tary return relating to the Chinese indemnity
states that 6,450,457 taels have been paid by the Chinese
Government, under the treaty of Pekin, dated Oct. 24,

last.

THE PAGE AND THE LEAF.—It being reported
the Lady Caroline Lamb had in a moment of passion
knocked down one of her pages with a stool, Moore, the
poet, to whom this was told by Lord Strangford, observed
" Oh, nothing is more natural for a literary lady than to
double down a page." " I would rather," replied his lord-
ship, " advise Lady Caroline to turn over a now leaf.'
" SERMONS IN STONES AND (TRUTH ?)INEV,E,
THlNG,"—According to a fantastic book recently
published by Messrs. Houlston and Wright, called
The
Soul of things," every action and every sound is photo-
graphed in some indelible and unchemical way, and " re-
gistered as in a picture-gallery for all time." If you cut
yourself while shaving, the glass before you will record the
grimace you make, and the strong exclamation by which
you accompanied it. Beware how you wink at young ladies
in the street, for " the brick in the wall and the paving stone
in the road will catch the picture and faithfully preserve
it." After this the Road murder must cease to be a mys-
tery, for the detective police, aided by the decipherer of
these photographs, will soon learn the features of the per-
petrator. Dr. Colenso's difficulties about Moses will be
silenced by a visit to the Wilderness of Sinai, where he may
see on the face of the rocks the portraits of all the Israelites
in their forty years' wanderings.

ALLEGED SWINDLING EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—
Thomas Maoarthy, an Irishman, about 48 years of age,
who is well known to the police, described as a commission
agent, and who has been several times convicted of smug-
gling, was brought before Mr. Partridge, on a warrant,
charged with swindling.
About the latter end of August last the prisoner called
on Mr. John Gluck, a clothier in Langley-place, Commer-
cial-road East, and said he wanted to purchase a suit of
clothes all one colour. Mr. Gluck could not supply him
with the suit he required of one colour, and the prisoner
looked at some patterns of cloth exhibited by the travellers
to the respectable firm of Tappin and Co., woollen drapers,
in Bishopsgate-street, who happened to be in the shop. The
prisoner selected a pattern, and asked how much the suit
would be, to which Mr. Gluck replied three guineas. The
The prisoner said he would give no more than £3,
which offer was accepted, and the prisoner was measured
for the clothes and waited on Mr. Gluck on the following
Friday, and fitted on the coat, of which he approved, and
was informed the clothes would be ready for him next day.
The prosecutor left his house at three o'clock on Saturday
afternoon and did not return until 12. In his absence the
prisoner obtained the suit of clothes of Mr. Gluck's shop-
man by stratagem. He produced four shares of the
Butkely Coal, Iron, Stone, and Fire-clay Company (Limited)
Carnarvonshire, capital £20,000, in 20,000 shares of £1 each,
office Falcon-court, Fleet-street, and said he had met Mr.
Gluck in the street, and that he had purchased the shares
of him for £B, that ho was to receive the clothes in part
payment and the other £5 on the following Monday morn.
ing. There was a large red seal with the name of the com-
pany on each share or scrip, and the documents had been
printed from a finely engraved and well executed
copper plate. On these shares £1 was stated to have been
paid on each, and the sum of £5 purported to have been
paid on the fourth. Mr. Gluck's shopman, on the faith of
aee
the prisoner's representations, delivered the clothes to him.
Mr. Gluck, when he returned home, received the worthless
documents, and on the following Monday and on other days
went to the offices a the

in
was a myth. He never met the prisoner in the street and
agreed to give him £8 for the shares, and he had ascertained
that the prisoner was a common swindler.
Mr. Partridge was of opinion that this was not a false
pretence within the meaning of the Act of Parliament. The
prisoner had told a lie, but that did not amount to a false
pretence. The clothes were made and parted with by the
shopman without any conditions. The prisoner must be
discharged,

POVERTY AND CRlME.—Jeremiah Conley, a boy, 15
years of age, was charged with being found in the area of
a gentleman's house for the purpose of committing a
felony.

thing told him at 7 o'clock that morning he got over the
railings of the house 219, Brompton:road, and there found
the prisoner in the coal cellar, and took him into custody.
Witness then aroused the inmates of the house, and they
then discovered that some victuals had been missed from the
safe in the front area.

Mr. Selfe (to prisoner)—.What have you to say ?
Prisoner—l was passing the area Vila morning when see-
ing the safe door standing open, and being very hungry, I
got over the railings to get something to eat, and had not
been there long when the constable came and took me.
Mr. Selfe—What are you ?
Prisoner—l wait upon bricklayers.
Mr. Selfe—Where do you live ?
Prisoner—Nowhere.

live no where. I came to this neighbourhood to try to get
work at the Exhibition, but could not find any.
Mr. Selfe—Did you ever live with your mother?

FORTIFICATIONS upon a very

the seaside.

An accident took place yesterday morning on the
South Coast Railway, near Brighton. A good's
train came in contact with a bullock which had escaped
from a herd, by which the engine and several tracks tell
across the line and damaged, to some extent, the permanent
way. The early trains were delayed, having to go by way
of Lewes, but later in the day the usual routo WAS ready
traffic.
