SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

TIMES.—If the first day of the elections be taken
to indicate the course of the contest, the Liberals
have every reason to be satisfied. The returns are
everywhere in their favour. They have kept their
own seats, and gained, we believe, three from their
opponents. Not only for those who live in London
but for the country at large, the result'of the metro-
politan elections will be interesting, as showing the
opinions of large and intelligent sections of the
population. Where the House of Commons is
formed by the votes of constituencies so widely dif-
fering in numbers, wealth, enterprise, and educa-
tion, the voice of the great boroughs must have a
considerable moral effect. Although the two mem-
bers of each party may be balanced by the two
returned by some petty town, still the leaders of
party, and all who are concerned in the conduct of
political affairs, cannot forget that the decision of
such constituencies as those of the cities of London
and Westminster represent pretty accurately the
decision of the nation. In the days of real Conser-
vative reaction, in 1811, that party seated two of
their candidates for the city of London and one
for Westminster. No one in those days could
doubt that this success betokened a wonderful
change in the temper of the country, and showed
that the impetus which had carried the Reform Bill
and many another great change had become dor-
mant. In our day the Conservatives have attempted
the same object, but with very different success.
We have heard so long of the Conservative revival,
and of the great repugnance to Liberal innovation
which was to be everywhere manifest, that it was
natural to look with curiosity to the large constitu-
encies. The first that have pronounced their opinion
have been those of the metropolis. In three of the
metropolitan districts the Conservatives have en-
deavoured to bring in one of their party, and
in each they have signally failed. They have
nowhere run their opponents even closely. In
the city of London they made extraordinary
efforts, and spent, it is said, very large sums of
money. All the authority and influence of the
great Conservative firms were used to bring in
Messrs. Lyall and Fowler, or at least one of them.
But the result has shown that in whatever unknown
parts the Conservative reaction may prevail, there
is no trace of it in London. It is very difficult to
seat four candidates belonging to one party, for the
very number begets opposition, and there are alwaysd
iospainlliothnes
those whose tempers impel them to compromise. an
to give a help to an apparent minoorfity
more a proof of the preponderance _
in the City that the party have had. no difficulty in
. Liberalit
returning all their candidates. In spite of the absence
of one of them through ill-health, in spite of a lavish
expenditure on the part of the Tories, in spite of all
the exertions of the Tory merchants and bankers,
and in spite, we may in justice say, of the personal
respectability of the Tory candidates, the four Libe-
rals have been returned by a considerable majority.
There is no better test of the opinion of the town
constituencies than the election for the City of
London. The constituency is equal, if not supe-
rior, to any borough constituency in the general
intelligence and wealth of its members, it is influ-
enced by a powerful corporation, by ancient and
honourable civic companies, and by the wealthiest
aristocracy of traders that exist in the world. Its
verdict may, then, be fairly taken as that of the
most energetic and successful of the middle class
in England, and this verdict has now been given
in favour of the Government and the policy
under which England has advanced in prosperity
and happiness during the last six years. In 'West-
minster the Liberal victory has been equally decided,
and by the personal eminence of one of the elected
candidates will have, perhaps, an even wider in-
fluence. In other respects the contest was not one
to excite much general interest. An aristocratic
Liberal has spent large sums, and a middle-class
Conservative has been still mom: profuse. Only
regular party men could feel much enthusiasm for
either of these candidates. But the nomination of
Mr. Mill gave an exceptional interest to the contest.
The very circumstance that this eminent writer de-
clared his most controverted opinions in his address,
and in his subsequent speeches, makes his return
the more significant. Hundreds who voted for Mr.
Mill probably disagreed with him philosophically,
and a still greater number politically. But it is cre-
ditable to the electors, and a hopeful sign for the

metropolitan boroughs, that the Westminster people
will rather have a man who thinks for himself, even
though his conclusions may be different from their
own, than one who merely adopts the common-
places of a party either through personal ambition
or the uninquiring inertness of mediocrity. Whata er
may be Mr. Mill's position in the new Parliament,
the electors of Westminster will have done themselves
credit by electing him, since they will have shown
that a large constituency can appreciate the claims of
intellectual eminence. The return of Mr. Mill, and of
Mr. Hughes at Lambeth, not only gives to the
metropolis two representatives of distinction in
literature, but it acts as an encouragement to
those who may be hereafter disposed to seek
a seat in Parliament. It can no longer be said that
the Metropolitan Boroughs are blind to the higher
qualities of candidates ; and if men who have pre-
viously distinguished themselves neglect to come
forward it must be held to be their own fault. Large
constituencies, indeed, have always been unfairly
treated in this respect. Men whose talents might
have insured their return have hung back and left
the field to a commoner and bolder class of men • and
then, the constituencies who have had really little
choice in the matter, have been ridiculed for the me-
diocrity of those whom they have unavoidably chosen.
In Greenwich we rejoice to see that Alderman Salo-
mons and Sir C. Bright have been returned, and
that the frivolous discontents of the Dockyard have
not availed to seat a gentleman who might repre-
sent them, but would certainly not represent the pre-
vailing opinion of the borough. In Southwark Messrs.
Layard and Locke will probably be returned with-
out opposition to-day. The result of the Metropoli-
tan elections is that the Liberals have not lost a single
seat. In the country the elections are also going
well. The Secretary for the Colonies, the President
and Vice-President of the Board of Trade, the At-
torney-General, and the Ministers of Public Works
and of Education have all been returned without
opposition. At Exeter also the unopposed return of
Mr. Coleridge gives the Liberal party in the house
an able speaker and lawyer, who will probably rise
to the highest place in his profession. Nowhere have
they any serious loss to deplore, and they may well
hail the returns of the first day's polling as indicative
of a general success. The probability now is that the
Government will be considerably reinforced, and that
the Opposition will have to confess that all its energy
and its elaborate organisation have been unable to
bring round the people of the United Kingdom to
its side.
HERALD.—From time to time the public have
been tantalised by statements that some hitherto
unknown personage—some " officer in the Prussian
service," or other equally mythical individual—has

actually succeeded in preparing a species of gun
powder which shall only explode when required to
do so, and which will, therefore, be free from the
vice of blowing-up the magazine. The world has
heard many rumours of this sort ; but until very
lately the tale never seems to have been verified.
To the present hour all London is at the mercy of
a stray spark at Pnrfleet, and some of our most
important towns are in peril from a similar contin-
gency. Artificial Etnas are dotted over the country
only awaiting a flash of lightning or a little rough
friction to set them off in a roar. What powder
can do was indicated last October by the concussion
which had its centre at Erith, when little more than
50 tons of the nitrous material served to inflict
damage to a distance of 10 miles, and sent the
sound and shock of its explosion as far as the shores
of the British Channel. The impression may have
faded somewhat from the public mind ; but danger
of this description still continues. The mere intro-
duction of improved regulations does not do away
with the fact that the smutty grains, cold to the
touch and quiescent to the eye, are capable of im-
mediate transformation into a body of fire, raging
with the fury of an infernal whirlwind, and perpe-
trating most astounding havoc. Military exigencies
require that we should keep our powder dry. We
cannot preserve it moist in the store to be dried
when wanted. Hence it is our practice to concen-
trate in certain places whole masses of this explosive
material, which in itself is just as susceptible of
ignition while stowed away in the magazine as
when rammed home down the muzzle of a cannon
or a rifle. In this respect the visa viva of our artil-
lery differs essentially from the motive power of the
steam-engine. The vaporised fluid which propels
the pistons of the locomotive is only brought into
existence when actually required. Neither coke
nor water will burst a boiler—both remain passive
and inert until the furnace is lit and the water boils.
Gunpowder, on the contrary, is always ready to
burst its bones ; no prolonged heating process is
required; there needs but a spark, and the full force
of the imprisoned gases at once come into play.
No lightning slays quicker or is more easily pro-
voked. To alter this state of things—to give us a
material suited for explosive purposes, and yet of
such a nature as not to explode until we wish it to
do so—is a requirement which modern science would
do well to meet. Terrible accounts reach us from
time to time of exploding magazines on the Conti-
nent, in Asia, and in America. In a moment—
without a note of warning—men, animals, build-
ings, and fortresses, aro tossed into the air, and
the most substantial constructive works are at
once reduced to a chaotic jumble of stones and
timber, split, riven, and scorched, mingled with
shivering limbs and blackened corpses. There is
also the tragedy of the ship on fire, with the
flames darting towards the fatal casks. Skill and
courage are baffled, and a sudden explosion, as
of a mine beneath their feet, sends captain and
crew into eternity. In war the more direct
casualties of the fight are often aggravated by a
stray shell which plunges into the ammunition
stores. In regard to the future tactics of naval en-
gagements, we ask the reader to imagine what will
be the effect when the magazine of an ironclad ex-
plodes ? A spark in the war magazine of the Gloire,
the Warrior, the Bellerophon, or the future Her-
cules, would convert the whole ship into a gigantic
bombshell. The massive armour and the closely-
packed beams of teak would offer a resistance only
overcome by a terrific exercise of force ; and while
the unhappy crew were blown to atoms the flying
fragments of the iron-bound ship, impelled by the
fiery blast of the ignited powder, would almost
serve to sweep an entire squadron from the seas.
At all events, if we mean to blow up the enemy's
ironclads, we must pitch our shells from a distance,
or the same shot which sends our antagonist into
the air,_ may plunge our own ship into the depths
beneath. But the great motor of war is about to
be chained. Lucifer is to be bound. We have now a
" Safety Powder Company," and for the satisfaction
of the public the company have had their works on
fire. Imagine a conflagration at the Government
depot at Purfleet ! The brigade galloping with its
engines to such a scene would be veritably a f
lorn hope." It might be wise togallop the othoerr-
way. To plant the hose while the flames were
roasting some hundreds of tons of gunpowder,
would be at least equivalent to looking in at the
cannon's mouth, while the gunner's fuse was lurking
at the touch-hole. Picking up a hissing bombshell
would be child's play in comparison. But when
the. " Safety Powder" works were on fire at Ply-
mouth a few mornings ago there was no more dan-
ger to the persons on the spot than in the case of
an ordinary conflagration. The powder might burn,
but it could not possibly explode. A large quantity
of it was, in fact, consumed, but there was no ex-
plosion, and while the actual works were burnt down
the magazine was saved. If the same security cha-
racterised all places where gunpowder is manufac-
tured or stored what calamities might be averted,
and how many distressing fears would be allayed !
Nor is this remarkable fire the only proof which has
been given of the virtues attaching to the new de-
scription of gunpowder. Mr. Gale, the discoverer
of the new process, exhibited the powder some few
days ago to Viscount Templetown, and a number
of military and naval officers, who had assembled
for the purpose at Government House, Plymouth.
Ordinary gunpowder was taken in hand, and im-
mediately rendered " non-explosive." Fire was ap-
plied, but only a few sparks responded to the flame.
The experiment was then reversed, and in less than
two minutes the powder was restored to its usual
explosive condition. The result was equally satis-
factory, however strong might be the nature of the
powder operated upon. A certain mixture being
blended with the dangerous article the latter
became harmless, refusing to ignite even though
a red-hot poker were thrust into it. In every
instance the restoration of the powder to its
natural state was effected without diffi-
culty, and with a facility which was practically
instantaneous. We need scarcely enlarge any fur-

ther on the importance of such a discovery. We
are quite prepared to admit, wiih the philosophers,
that the invention of gunpowder has rendered the
practice of war less fatal to human life. Battles—
though vastly more noisy and picturesque—are less
murderous now than in the days of clubs and
arrows. But we never could see the virtue of being
blown to atoms in time of peace. This cardinal
defect of gunpowder is henceforth to be cured—if
we are rightly informed as to the merits of Mr.
Gale's invention. The public, however, will have
a further opportunity of forming a judgment on
this point. We understand that the characteristics
of the safety powder are to be demonstrated at the
present Wimbledon gathering. Next to seeing
Blondin on the high rope will be the sensation of
beholding Mr. Gale on a barrel of gunpowder,
while some equally daring individual thrusts a red-
hot poker into the keg. Powder made harmless
will be something quite as astounding as the taming
of n tiger, or the cooking of an omelette over the
,Falls—with the additional advantage of decided
utility, even to the saving of many lives and the
preservitipn of property. It is quite possible that,
by rendering gunpowder thus practically safe, a way

will be opened for its utilisation in ways which
have not hitherto been attempted. Heartily do
we hope that the prospect of a powder magazine
which cannot possibly explode will be speedily and
completelyyerified.

The Patrie says :—We learn that in consequence
of new arrangements the great international mari-
time fete in Auguet will take place at Cherbourg, and not
at Brest. The English squadron, commanded by Bear-
Admiral Dacres, will arrive at Cherbourg on the 14th.
The admiral's flag will be hoisted on board the steamer of
the line Edgar. Arrangements are being made on board
this vessel to receive the Duke of Somerset, Firat Lord of
the Admiralty, Lord Clarence Paget, and the other lords.
The Marquis de Chasseloup-Laubat, Minister of Marine
and the Colonies, will go with the fleet to England to re-
turn the visit of the Duke of Somerset."
