HIGHLAND AND AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF SCOT-
LAND.—The half-yearly meeting was held at Edinburgh.
on Wednesday, the Earl of Rosslyn presiding. 120 new
members were ballotted for and admitted. The secretary
reported that for the general show to be held at Inverness
on the first week in August there were 325 head of cattle,
125 horses, 850 head of sheep, 38 swine, 288 poultry, and
700 implements entered. The exhibition of stock would
be larger than at any of the society's shows since 1859.
The show for 1866 would be held at Glasgow, and of 1867
at Aberdeen.

The Moniteur publishes a reply to an article in
the Presse against standing armies, in which the
writer, after asserting that life in barracks not only causer
the soldier to lose his previous habits of industry, but de-
moralises him, quotes a passage from a work of M. de
Girardin, declaring that the mortality in the rank and file
of the army is 22 per cent. among men between 20 and 30
years of age, while it is only 10 per cent is the civil popu-
lation of the same age. The Moniteur declares that the as-
sertion with regard to the demoralisation of the soldier is
disproved by all statistics and by the eagerness with which
discharged soldiers are sought after by private individuals
and directors of commercial and industrial establishments
to fill places of trust. With regard to the statement respect-
ing the mortality in the army, the Illoniteur says that the
statistics the Presse drew its conclusions from are those be-
longing to years prior to 1846, since which time a great
change has taken place, as shown by the Statistique Medicate
of the army published by the Ministry of War in 1864. That
work proves that the mortality in the army in France was
9.42 per 1,000 in 1862, and only 9.22 in 1863 ; the mortality
in civil life, between. the ages of 20. and 30, being 9.29 per
1,000, which is higher than it was in the army for all ages
in 1863. Even including the troops in Africa and in Italy,
the average mortally Is only 10 per - 1,000,- instead of 24
per cent., as Stated by the Presse.

WARWICKSHIRE (NORTH).

Mr. Newdegate has issued the following address to the
electors of North Warwickshire :
« Gentlemen,—Having now had the honour of represen-
tin you in the House of Commons for 22 years, a period marked
by many political changes, which have tested the character,
the judgment, and the conduct of public men, I trust that
I have not forfeited the confidence you have thought fit to
repose in me. Few members of the House of Commons
have more anxiously sought a full and free interchange of
ideas with their constituents on subjects of general interest.
During last autumn and winter I had occasion to declare,
even more explicitly than has been my wont, the political
principles upon which I act. These principles are, I believe,
as nearly identical with those of the majority of the electors
of North Warwickshire as can be expected, where so groat
a variety of interests and opinions exists. Repeated attempts
have been made to bring into discredit and to violate the
Protestant Constitution of this country, to which I am
sincerely attached; those who value this fundamental prin-
ciple of free government have been described as ignorant,
or as prejudiced if they ventured to avow or act upon their
convictions. I have not thought it right to allow these
unfounded imputations to awe me into silence, far less into
submission, so as to impede the performance of that which
I considered to be my duty ; had I done otherwise 1 should
not merely have stultified myself, but I believe that I should
have failed to represent the majority of the constituency
who have so long honoured me by their confidence. During
the long period that I have represented North Warwick-
shire in Parliament I have had the opportunity of endea-
vouring to defend and to promote the great interests of the
constituency as identified with the national welfare ; when
I have failed I trust thatmy failure has not been attributable
to want of exertion ; nor does temporary failure afford any-
thing like conclusive proof that, if made in the right direc-
tion, the effort has been, or will prove ultimately fruitless.
In several instances I had the satisfaction of knowing that
my exertions have been barren of success. My induce-
ment to seek the honour of again representing, you in. the
House of Commons is the hope that I may contribute some:
what to the security of the free institutions under which
we live, and that -1 may assist those who would direct the
political progress of this country within the wide limits of
those great prinQiples upon which the Constitution is
founded. lam not one of those who have adopted the
doctrine of finality against the adaptation of the laws of
this country to the actual wants of society. The inevitable
chop) el orewhetencoo, irrephatible as the moo el time
London, England, 1865-06-30

NEW MUSIC,

Mr. J. H. Jewell, of Great Russell-street, has
just published a variety of new music of the most
tasteful description. Amongst this latest addition
to compositions for the pianoforte is " The Sandie
Tree," a sacred song by Mrs. Boisragon, which will
be sure to be most readily welcomed, It is set in the
key of A, and is one unbroken flow of pure and
delicious melody from beginning to end. " The
Day of Rest" is another beautiful song of the same
description, the words being by Mr. Jewell and the
music by Mr. S. Glover. "Le Clair D'Etoiles,"
by Mr. James Freeman, is really and truly a
"Mazurka Brilliante," and one that certainly ought
to become universally popular. As a specimen of
dance music it is without exception one of the best
things that has come under our attention for a long
time. " The Fairy Fountain Walses," by Edouard
Frewin, we like much better than the " Guards,"
because in the former there is a most inviting strain
running throughout the whole of them, whilst in
the latter the catching " bit" is merely in the first
movement.

GREAT Film IN THE ClTY.—Early this morning
a fire broke out in the premises of Mr. Worms, a carpenter,
situated in New-street and St. Andrew's-hill, City, which
placed the lives of 50 or 60 persons in peril and destroyed

STAFFORDSHIRE (SOUTH.)

The two sitting members for the Southern Division of
Staffordshire, Mr. W. 0. Foster and Mr. J. W. Foley, have
issued addresses soliciting re-election. Mr. Foster, after
expressing an opinion that the Government of Lord Pal-
merston is entitled to the continued confidence of the
country, says he should be glad to see, if not at once the re-
peal, at least a considerable diminution in the amount of the
malt-tax. Unless a satisfactory settlement of the church
rate question can be devised, he will continue to vote for
total abolition. He adds :

" The great question of Parliamentary Reform remains
to be dealt with by a future Parliament. Not being able
see in Mr. Baines's Bill for a £6 franchise in boroughs a
satisfactory solution of this wide and important question, I
voted against it. At the same time I should be no less will-
ing to give my hearty support to a well-considered and
comprehensive measure of Reform, brought in on the re-
sponsibility of the Government, and dealing with this great
question in a liberal and statesmanlike manner."
Mr. FoLEY expresses very similar sentiments on the malt
tax and church rate-questions. He believes Mr. Baines's
Bill would have complicated, without settling, the question
of Reform. But he adds :

" I hope the Government will, in a new Parliament, be
in a position to propose a well-digested measure which,
without destroying, may remove some of the anomalies of
our present electoral system and better adapt it to the fast
increasing intelligence and requirements of the day."

He believes that the present Administration are the faithful
exponents of the opinions of the great majority of the com-
munity. -

GREENWICH.

Sir John Horon Maxwell, R.N, last night addressed the
ratepayers of the borough, and was exceedingly well re-
ceived. Sir John has issued an address, in which he states
that his opinions were well known to them, as expressed in
1859, when he appeared before them as a claimant to repre-
sent them in Parliament. His opinions, he said, are un-
changed since that time. As a sailor, he need hardly assure
them of his anxiety to see the navy, and with it the army,
upheld in the utmost efficiency, and he sincerely trusted
that the numberless experiments both in shipbuilding and
in gunnery now being carried on would before long termi-
nate in some discovery which, in being generally satisfac-
tory, will check in some degree the present enormous out-
lay consequent on experiments alone.

CHELTENHAM.

There is every prospect of a severe contest between
the Hon. Colonel F. IV. Berkeley, in the Liberal,
and Mr. Charles Schreiber in the Conservative in-
terest. Both parties have been actively canvassing,
and both are sanguine of success. The supporters
of Mr. Schreiber base their hopes on the large addi-
tion to their numbers, which they say has been made
since the last election, when their opponents obtained
a majority of only eight votes. Their candidate, in
his address, states that he attaches importance to
" publicity in the exercise of the franchise," and that
he desires an " equitable adjustment of church-
rates ;" but is determined to resist their uncondi-
tional abolition. He also states that his opinion,
" confirmed by the experience of the last six years, is
that a £lO county and a £6 borough franchise,
while involving serious organic changes, furnish
no solution of the difficulty of Parliamentary Re-
form. Being sincerely attached to the Church of
England, of which he is a member, he will resist
all attacks, both on her integrity and independence,
and on the Protestant principles so intimately con-
nected with the liberties we enjoy." Further, as the
means to be employed for a reduction of our present
expenditure, he would " maintain a policy of non-
interference abroad, would develope the volunteer
forces at home, and in every way promote the utmost
economy compatible with the efficiency of the public
service; and while working in concert with the Con-
servative party, support all measures calculated to
strengthen the institutions of the country and advance
the education and well-being of the country."
Col. Berkeley has met with a very cordial recep-
tion. In his address he appeals to his votes, which
he says " have been uniformly given in support of
progressive reform, free trade, and civil and reli- '
gious liberty ;" and those principles, he believes, are
"held by a decided majority of the electors." Meet-
ings on both sides have been held, and others are in
contemplation, and it is very generally believed that
this will be the hardest, as well as most equally-
matched battle that has yet been fought in Chel-
tenham.

LEICESTERSHIRE.

Mr. C. H. Frewan will oppose Lord John Manners and
Mr. Hartopp in the Northern Division. Ho comes forward
as an "independent Protestant Conservative," but asks for
the support of the Liberal party. He is in favour of an ex-
tension of the franchise, "In Ireland," he says,
"Every one who pays £l2 a year in rent has a vote for
the county in which he is a tenant ; it therefore cannot be
be kept up to £5O a year in England. There are some
tenants in North Leicestershire who pay more than £5O a
year in rent, but aro not, as the law now stands, allowed to
have a vote, because they pay their rent to two or more
landlords."

Mr. Frewen thinks that the public expenditure for the last
12 years has been excessive, and from X 15,000,000 to
£20,000,000 a year more than the average expenditure for
the previous 40 years. " A reduction in the expenditure
would enable the Government to repeal the malt-tax, and
take off other taxes which press on the community."

DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT AT A TAVERN.—WaIter Robert-
son and Walter Leader, respectably dressed men, were
charged with the following disgraceful conduct.
Mary Ann Boyd, barmaid, at the Cadogan Hotel, Sloane-
street, said that at seven last evening the defendants came
to the bar and conducted themselves very offensively.
They accosted several persons who came in, asking them
to treat them to drink, and they then called for tobacco.
He informed them that they could not, have tobacco there,
and desired them to leave the house, instead of which they
intruded themselves into another compartment filled with
gentlemen, and grossly insulted them. The barman was
called to expel them, when they assaulted him and
Leader, and wilfully broke a pane of plate glass, valued at
a 12s. The police were at length procured, and they
were given into custody, but not until they had caused a
great obstruction in the business.
John Clarke, cellarman, said that he put the defendants
out four times. He expostulated with them, and endea-
voured to'get rid of them quietly, but he no sooner got rid
of them at one door than they entered at another. Both
defendants struck him, and made his nose bleed.
Defendants, in general terms, denied the charges against
them, and Leader complained that he had been struck,
One of the gentlemen who had been annoyed, said that
Leader, when he came to them, wanted to fight, and struck
a gentleman, who returned it with interest.
Defendant Robertson was fined 155., or seven days ;
Leader, 205., and £2 12s. damage or one month.

MARKE TS-=-This Day.
London, England, 1865-06-30

The candidates are pursuing their canvassing
with diligence, and election speeches seem to be
almost too numerous to consider individually.
That of Lord A3IBEELEY will doubtless attract
some notice in consequence of the extraordinary
course which the noble lord pursued on a former
occasion, when he seemed unable to make up his
mind on any subject of importance, and then arrived
at a fortuitous decision in a hurry. Last night,
however, to judge from the noble lord's speech to
the electors, it would seem as if he was quite de-
cided, but many may with justice question the
depth of that conviction which so suddenly took
place. In fact it would have been better taste on
the part of the noble lord to have been a little more
cautious and circumspect in his advocacy of the
new-fangled notions of a £,(3 franchise. On the
contrary, however, he preferred to out-Herod
Herod in his excitement and enthusiasm for an
object the utility of which a short time back he did
not recognise. The question is, how much of this
new-born ardour arises from a real conviction of
the benefits that will accrue to the community
from the lowering of the franchise, and how
much is due to the anxiety to become a popular
candidate. In the name of consistency, and
for the dignity of the representation of
the people we must protest against such clap-trap
canvassing as this and such evident illustration of
the doctrines of expediency. Political changes should
not thus be introduced, and social and domestic
questions of importance should rest upon their own
merits and not be supported or countenanced in order
to gain the favour of electors or the applause of
popular assemblies. Lord AMBERLEY also afforded
his hearers the opportunity of learning his opinions
on foreign subjects, and his views of American
affairs are most extraordinary. He considers that
it has been more conducive to the interests of
humanity that the war should have gone on as it
has done than if it had terminated some time back,
which is, indeed, a most remarkable idea, and one
the validity of which may well be questioned. " The
people of the North have undergone the process of
education, and come to see most completely the
emancipation of the slaves." They have not been
fortunate enough in that " education" to imbibe
many of the principles of justice or the
sentiments of honour, neither can it be said
that the qualities of mercy have been much
cultivated. It is really too bad to utter such opinions
before an enlightened assembly of Englishmen, and
those politicians who think that they will be able to
make their partiality for the North generally re-
ceived and recognised by the community will find
themselves very much mistaken in the long run.
Mr. BAINES expressed his opinions in a brief ad-
dress, in the course of which he took occasion to
observe that Lord DERBY'S Reform Bill would not
have improved the condition of the working classes
