sirable improvement in the legislative and administra-
tive Government of the country. It was not reaction,
but inaction, that had well nigh proved fatal to the
Liberal cause. On the first shout of victory, the Re-
formers flung away their arms, in the confidence that
a field once theirs could never be wrested from them.
A conviction of their error has fortunately extended
itself among them before it is too late. They are
taking the management of the Reform Bill into their
own bands, by beginning to direct their attention to
the Registration ; and we understand that in several
Tory-ridden counties, the importance—or rather the
absolute necessity—of deriving, from the reduction of
the Newspaper Stamp-duty, the advantages contem-
plated by a Liberal House of Commons from the un-
shackling of the press, begins to be generally felt
by the Reformers of every shade of opinion. In
the county of Worcester, this praiseworthy feeling
has already manifested itself in a determination
to establish a new Weekly Liberal Journal, to be
conducted—if we may judge from the prospectus—
on the same principles as The Sun. In Worcester
the Tories have hitherto had the field of political dis-
cussion entirely to themselves. Of four journals estab-
lished in the county three are Tory to the back bone ;
and the fourth—as regards politics—is a non-entity.
The zeal of the Tories has not gone unrewarded. In
consequence of the exertions of the Worcestershire
Tory Press, unopposed by a single Liberal journal of
decided opinions, nine out of the twelve representatives
returned for the county arc Conservative ! This fact,
so conclusive of the influence of the Press either for
good or evil, has induced the Reformers of Worcester
to establish an honest Radical journal, having for the
object of is labours the enlightenment and the welfare
of the PEOPLE ; and we are led to direct attention thus
prominently to their praiseworthy undertaking, in the
hope that the Liberals of every Tory-ridden district in
the United Kingdom will instantly follow their example.
The Reformers do not yet know half their own strength.
Were they only to club together, and subscribe to half
the extent of their means, they might establish as many
Provincial Newspapers in six months as would neu-
tralize the poison of the Tories in every district of the
Kingdom. Taken in the aggregate, they are five
times richer, and an hundred times better able to sub-
scribe for such a purpose than the Conservatives.
Their interest, too, in the policy of the future Govern-
ment of these Realms is much greater than that of the
Tories, though the contrary fallacy has generally ob-
tained among the less reflecting Liberals. The man
whose all is periled by the conduct of an Administra-
tion has more at stake than the man whose property a
tenth only is liable to seizure—it matters not what
what difference there may be in the relative amount of
their wealth. Besides, be it always remembered, that
were the Reformers only to subscribe a penny each,
it would amount to more than a subscription of a
pound by every member of the Tory faction. And
where is there a Reformer who, if applied to, would
would not subscribe a penny to keep the QUEEN and
the Constitution out of the gripe of the truculent, pe-
culating, and bigotted Tories ?

Oraa an tne remains of the division of Buerens, wrote, on
the 6th, that he was about to quit Beteta, in order to cover
Cuenca or Madrid, in case th• Pretender should menace
the capital. We expect shortly to hear of an engagement.
Madrid enjoys the most perfect tranquillity."
Letters from Saragossa of the 10th inst., state that
ESPARTERO was then two days' march in the rear of
Don CARLOS' division ; having been thrice out-gene-
railed by the Pretender since he left Madrid. ESPAR•
TERO is either one of the greatest traitors, or one of
the most contemptible officers that ever wore a sword.
The following paragraph from the Journal des De-
bats, forms, with the election gossip, the principal topic
of discussion in the Paris Journals

" The marriage of the Princess Mary into the house of
Wurtemberg, is considered as concluded, and will be cele-
brated early next month at Trianon. Prince Frederick
William Alexander, born 20th December, 1804, is son of a
Princess of Saxe-Cobourg, and cousin of the King of Wur-
temberg, of the reigning Duke of Wurtemberg, of the
King of the Belgians and the Duchess of Kent, and is con-
sequently related to Queen Victoria of England. He has
for some time been in the service of the Emperor of Rus-
sia, and holds in it the rank of Major-General and Colonel
of Cuirassiers. A letter from Stuttgard of the Gth, con-
firms the above account, and adds that the marriage has
been consented to only on condition of the children being
brought up in the Protestant faith."

There has latterly been a good deal of petty jea-
lousy manifested on the part of Austria against France.
The Revue des Deux Monde: has the following ob-
servations on the shortsightedness of such a line of
conduct on the part of a Power menaced by the aggres-
sive policy of Russia :
" Austria professes to continue on good terms with
France. Of this she certainly has need, in order to hold
up against Russia, and not to be entirely carried away and
absorbed in the vortex of the colossus. How, then, comes
it that France is continually finding Austria in its way,
whether at Turin or at Naples, producing hostile measures
and disobliging refusals from these weak Governments to
France? It is Austria which, in the interest of her Trieste
steam-boats, prevents Naples from admitting French steam-
boats in her ports. And it is Austria again which at Tu-
rin produces the inconceivable ill-will and delays of the Ba-
ron de la Marguerite. It would be much better to give
over these petty quarrels, live on good terms, and acknow-
ledge loyally the wisdom and moderation of the French
Government."

We find 110 other news of any interest in the Paris
papers. All parties are preparing for the general elec-
tion. The chances are as ten to one in favour of the
Government candidates.

• We sincerely trust, therefore, that the Worcester-
shire Chronicle is not the only Provincial Liberal
Journal, the advent of whose appearance we shall have
to announce before the meeting of Parliament. In
several other counties the absence of a local, indepen-
dent, Reform Newspaper, cannot be less sensibly felt ;
and we do hope that some public-spirited individual
will step boldly forward, and stimulate his co-constituents
to the remedy of so crying a grievance. The difficul-
ties in the way of establishing an efficient local Journal
are numerous, when encountered by an individual ;
but when met by a Society, on the plan set forth
by the originators of the Worcestershire Chronicle,
they present no obstacle which the least united mani-
festation of patriotism may not easily overcome.

The Reformers can render no more effectual service
to their cause—can adopt no line of conduct which can
possibly tend more to the eradication of the ignorance
which is the main support of Toryism—than by
establishing a Liberal Journal in every town where it
is possible to obtain a paying circulation. To effect
this some sacrifices must be made in the first in-
stance. The wealthier members of the Reform body
must step forward, and set an example of activity to
all who are likely to be influenced by their conduct.
They must likewise put their hands in their pockets.
Liberality in this way is economy in the end ; but
were the expenditure equal, it is surely preferable to
subscribe a guinea towards the maintenance of a local
Journal, to the paying the same sum in the shape of
a tax td keep up a Tory Pauper-Peerage-Pension
List. Liberal Journals should be supported as much
from a consideration of the abuses which they pre-
vent, as from a regard to the evils which they eradi-
cate. The existence of local Reform Journals is the
best test of provincial patriotism, intelligence, and
extended liberality of opinion. Every county and
borough which starts a Liberal Paper may be said to
double its liberal representation in Parliament.

The Brussels and German papers received to-day
contain very little intelligence worth communicating.
From Rome the advices are to the 6th inst. The
cholera was on the decline, and the Papal Government
was adopting what measures it could to prevent dis-
orders among the people. One of these prohibited
the dismissal of workmen without three days previous
notice on the part of the employer in writing, to afford.
the Government time to find work for the discharged
labourer. Rome was tranquil.

Coleridge, speaking of the Unreformed House of
Commons, says, " Oh ! into what a state have the scoun-
drels brought this devoted Kingdom ! If the House of
Commons would but melt down their faces, it would greatly
assist the copper currency ; we would have brass enough."
The improvements at the Duke of Sutherland's seat,
at Trentham, will not be completed for three years. Stan-
field, the artist, has been for some time at Trentham paint-
ing landscape pieces to adorn the new picture gallery, and
Mr. Barry superintends the improvements.
A person once said to a father whose son was
noted for laziness, that he thought his son was very much
afraid of work. " Afraid of work !" replied the father,
"not at all, he will lie down and go to sleep close by the
side of it."

An Irishwoman called at an oilman's the other
day and asked for a quart of vinegar. It was measured
out, and she put it into a gallon jug. She then asked for
another quart to be put into the same vessel. " And why
not ask for a half gallon, and have done with it ?" said the
oilman. "Oh I bless your little bit of a soul," answered
she, "it's for two persons."
It is a well-authenticated fact, that the moment a
salmon in spawning condition reaches the foot of the tri-
butary stream which gave it birth, it immediately ascends,
although the whole volume of water could be conveyed
through a tube not much larger in circumference than the
crown of a hat. •

An extraordinary pressure to-day upon our space
compels us to postpone the report of the proceedings
at the British Association at Liverpool.

By the Star packet, which sailed from the Tagus
on the 10th inst., we have received advices from
Lisbon to that date. The Viscount DAS ANTAS was
then at Guarda, when: he manifested a strong inclina-
tion to come to terms with the rebels, by a mutual
adjustment of differences. The Marquis of SAL-
DANHA was at Carticada, and Baron DE BOMFIAI at
Castello Branco, in hot pursuit of the rebels.

CIIANGE.—A lady who was very modest and sub-
missive before marriage, was observed by a friend to use
her tongue pretty freely after. " There was a time when
I almost imagined she had none."—" Yes," said the hus-
band with a sigh, " but it's very long since."—Mirror.
The premium on produce from Jamaica upon ships
warranted to sail by the Ist of August has been done at
five guineas per cent. in numerous instances. If vessels
have sailed after that time, from eight guineas to twelve
guineas per cent has been asked, varying according to the
time of their sailing.

Madrid Papers of the 9th inst. have been received,
with letters of a still later date from Saragossa and
San Sebastian. The capital was menaced in three
several directions by the Carlists, a band of whom had
again appeared in its vicinity, while to " help the
lame dog over the stile" the Ministers of War and
Finance were shouting in chorus the weakness of the
Constitutional army, and the poverty of the National
Exchequer. The one proclaimed the want of men, the
other deplored the want of money. In fact, with the
exception of the absence of a spirit of insurrection
among the populace, things were as bad as it was
almost possible for them to be. ESPARTERO,
however, continued to forward pompous despatches
which were only looked upon as so many re-
cords of his treachery or incapacity. On the 7th in-
stant a Carlist plot for blowing up the powder-maga-
zine of Santa Barbara, the murder of the Royal
family, and the pillage of Madrid, was discovered.
The authors were instantly arrested, and it is reported
that among them are several persons of high rank, in-
cluding some ladies.
On the 10th inst. General IRIARTE defeated the
Carlists at Muro, after a very sharp engagement, in
which he had 150 men wounded. The main body of
the enemy escaped by crossing the Agra, having suf-
fered greatly from the fire of the Christinos. General
JAREGUY (EL PASTOR) has been dismissed, but
accompanies Brigadier O'DONNELL as an amateur.

The whole of the Paris Journals of Friday and
Saturday have been received. The Monitcur of
Friday has the following telegraphic despatch from
Spain :

" THE AMBASSADOR OF FRANCE TO THE MINISTER OF

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
" MADRID, SEPT. 9.—Six thousand Carlists are in the
environs of Quintanar de la Orden, with the apparent in-
tention of approaching Madrid.
" Don Carlos left Fries on the .sth, and appeared to march
on Cuenca by Caneta.

" Esperteio, reiuforocd by four battalions of the array el

High winds have prevailed during the last week,
accompanied by occasional showers • but the weather has
continued warm, and upon the whole favourable. We
learn from the country that harvest operations are still in
rapid progress.—Scotsman.
The feelings of the inhabitants of Kilbarchan have
received a serious shock, and the whole village has been
thrown into a state of the utmost consternation, in conse-
quence of a married woman having left eight children to
the care of her husband, and eloped with a married man,
who has left a wife and four children without any protec-
tion. When such an extraor,linary event became known,
business of all kinds was entirely suspended, and groups of
males and females congregated on the streets, expressing
their abhorrence at the conduct of the parties who had thus
entailed misery on themselves, and thrown a stain on their
friends and connections. The guilty parties, it is supposed,
have fled to America.—Scots Times.
London has seldom been so free from serious disease
as it is at the present time. An examination of the bills of
mortality show a constant and a rapid diminution in the
number of deaths, the decrease for the past week being no
less than 138. This is a singular and a highly important fact,
and contrasts very strongly with the state of health in many
of the foreign capitals.
About the middle of last August a highway-robber,
who had been convicted and sentenced to transportation
for life, named Charles Cavenny, made his escape from
Frsherton-gaol in a very mysterious manner. On Thurs-
day night a shabbily dressed man made an application for
relief to Inspector Arton, at the Evesham station-house,
when the inspector recollecting having received a descrip-
tion of the escaped convict, which was forcibly brought to
his mind by the applicant's appearance, he took him into
custody, when he proved to be the convict Cavenny. The
Magistrates ordered the inspector a reward of ten pounds
for his vigilance. The convict had been, for a long time
previous to his conviction, a terror to the neighbourhood of
Gloucester, where he had resided.—Worcester Journal.
On Saturday last, a second-hand mahogany pulpits
with its winding staircase, was offered for sale in Salisbury
Market, by George Barnet, a celebrated broker, who a few
days before purchased the same 't a public auction, held at
the late Rev. Dr. Hawes's house, :n Rolleston, St. Sarum,
being a sale of that late Rev. gentleman's effects. We
understand the pulpit was valued by a carpenter to be worth
161. if destroyed, and converted into cother articles.— Wilts
