ELECTION NEWS.

As we anticipated, Mr. E. Cecil Guinness, brother
iof the unseated member, s to be the new Conserva-
tive candidate for Dublin, and when the writ is
issued there will be a severe fight between him and
Sir Dominic Corrigan. Major Anson, who has come
forward as the Liberal candidate for Bewdley,
appears to have entirely abandoned Adullamy. He
is prepared to give the present Government a cordial
support, and will be found going to the right when
the division on the Irish Church Bill takes place.
The Bradford poll comes off on Friday. Mr. M.
Feilden, one of the defeated candidates at Black-
burn, has withdrawn from the petition against the
sitting members, but the other Liberal candidate,
Mr. J. G. Potter, has determined to persevere with
it. The inquiry opens on Thursday.

7HE SURRENDER OF GIBRALTAR.

One independency we have given up within recent
remembrance. A goodly cluster of islands, it con-
sisted of :—Cephaiouia, Zante, St. Alaura, Corfu,
Ithaca, Cerigo, what nut ; we handed them all over
for absorption into Greece. Gibraltar is sorely
wanted, just now, to be done the like with
by the Spanish—which is ?—Monarehial or
Republican Government. Suppose we meekly
do by that to-day as we did by the lonian
Islands yesterday ? Suppose we spike our
guns—sneak across to Ceuta—and abandon for
once and for all that grand old trophy won by
our arms, our gold, and our blood ; that grim
guardian of our road to India ; that one rocky
Pillar of Hercules, from the height of which our
garrison, like warders on the keep, have held watch
for 100 years at the entrance of the Mediterranean.
Supposing we do all this, in the name of honesty
let us go a step or two further. Let us at
least be consistent. Let us deal with one after
another of our various colonial possessions precisely
in like manner. The arguments applicable to the
lonian Islands, the arguments said to be applicable
now to the hitherto thought-to-be impregnable rock
of Gibraltar, are applicable equally to all the rest of
our dominions. There was professor Goldwin Smith
only a few years.ago outraging all our feelings of
patriotism, all the most cherished among our na
tional susceptibilities, proposing that, in plain terms,
England—this " dear, dear England" of Shakapere,
not of Smith—should cave in at once without any
more ado, should strip herself of all her world-wide
territories, should take the sacred fasces and de-
liberately unbind them, to the end of, first of
all, distributing the rods of empire, and after-
wards, we may presume, submitting herself
allegorically to decapitation by the axe. If
we are going to give up Gibraltar, why not
recall at once this wretched Professor Smith and
install him permanently in Downing-street as our
Disintegrating Minister or Lord Paramount ?
Against the advent of the Smithian Era, we possess
happily at this moment, however, one—if only
for that reason—most acceptable guarantee. We
have installed here already at the Colonial-office
at that mystical centre of the vast and compli-
cated network of our colonial system--a Minister,
who, like the majority of his illustrious predecessors
in that most distinguished and responsible office,

AN IMPORTANT ECCLESIASTICAL DECISION.

Everyone, whether Low Churchman or High
Churchman, should rejoice to learn that the Arch-
bishop of York has censured, though he has not the
legal power to reverse, the sentence pronounced by
the Bishop of Manchester against the Rev. Mr.
Sedgwick. Dr. Lee, who wants only the opportunity
to be a Low Church Laud, had summarily
dismissed Mr. Sedgwick from his cure, because
he had introduced certain practices which
the Bishop disapproved. One of these prac-
tices was then sub judice, and though it had been
declared legal by the Court of Arches, Mr. Sedg-
wick discontinued it out of regard to his diocesan.
Another practice is expressly authorised by the
Prayer-book. But submission and legality were
alike unavailing ; the Bishop absolutely refused even
to give Mr. Sedgwick a hearing, and peremptorily
dismissed him. He thereupon appealed to the
Archbishop of York, who, though certainly
as little of a high Churchman as any member of the
bench, has advised that the Bishop of Manchester
should reconsider his decision and give Mr. Sedgwick
a hearing. The Archbishop described a considerable
portion of the evidence brought against the incum-
bent, as "utterly worthless." It is to be hoped. that..
Bishop Lee will remember in future that he is no
longer a schoolmaster presiding over schoolboy;
but the overseer of grown men. ;Ho has been
twenty-one years learning this lesson, and'he' has
not learnt it yet.

SYSTEMATIC PLUNDER OF A MASTER.—Robort Wellsby,
barman, and Harriett Small were charged, the former with
stealing three bottles of brandy, rum, and gin, the goods
of George Edmonds, his master, and the latter in receiving
them, well knowing them to have boen stolen.
Prosecutor keeps the " Stanley Arms" in Westmorland-
street, Pimlico, and prisoner had been in her service ten
days as barman; the takings fell short, and prose-
cutor missed money and stock. A. plain clothes con-
stable, named O'Brien, 50 B, went into the houso
at seven o'clock this morning and saw the female enter.
She gave the man three empty bottles, and he gave her
three in return full of spirits, and something else; the
spirits, with some dirty clothes, were put into a hag and
taken away by the woman, who was followed to the sta-
tion-house door and then taken into custody.
The male prisoner pleaded guilty, and endeavoured to
absolve the woman from blame, to this the prosecutor
added a recommendation to mercy.
Mr. Selfe said he could not settle the matter, and com-
mitted them both for trial, stating that he would take
good bail in £2O for her appearance at the sessions.

SPAIN.

The commission appointed to draw up a draft of the
new Constitution has commenced its task. According
to intelligence received by the Moniteur, the commission
has decided upon universal suffrage and a monarchical
form of government as the principles by which its labours
will be guided. Freedom of worship will be finally
established, but the Roman Catholic Church will be the
only religiou3 body recognised by the State.

The completion of the draft will, however, be delayed
somewhat. Three members of the commission have
declined to take the responsibility which has been offered
them. They refuse to assist in drawing up a democratic
constitution " which may be of but short duration." There
are other signs that the conflict of parties is about to begin
in earnest. Some of the journals, especially the Iberia,
vigorously denounce the candidature of the Duke of
Montpensier. Petitions are being signed against him. A
day or two ago an amnesty for all political offenders was pro-
posed, but the Ministry declined, because Carlist conspi-
racies were still on foot. The majority, however, is so
large that only prompt action can be required to finally
extinguish opposition.

NON-COLLEGIATE STUDENTS AT CAMBRIDGE.

The Cambridge Senate have been discussing the
advisability of following the example of the govern-
ing body at Oxford, by admitting to the benefits of
university teaching students unconnected with,
any college. There was a long discussion on Satur-
day, and the result was that a general approval was
expressed of a scheme which had been drawn up for
carrying out this idea.

LONDON, TUESDAY, MARCH 9, 1869.

Mr. CHILDERS' explanation yesterday, in Com-
mittee, -
of the Naval Estimates, cannot but be re-
garded as having afforded a complete justification of
the choice made of him by Mr. GLADSTONE, last De-
cember, as the new First Lard of the Admiralty. his
reduction of those estimates, within tshaeybruile,..,f. interval
which which has since then elapsed, is, to
it, something remarkable. It is a reduction amounting
upon the current year, as compared with its immediate
predecessor, of upwards of a million sterling. And
the reduction effected is one quite clearly at no risk
whatever to the efficiency of the national service. On
the contrary, we cannot but recognise in many of the
chLiges which have been effected or are in process
of being effected, guarantees for the better manage-
ment of the department in future, by means of
a concentration of hitherto scattered sections
of that department, and by means also (because of
that) of an extraordiniuy and very obvious simplifi-
cation of heretofore exceedingly complex arrange-
ments. The tceal of the Navy Estimates, as now
planned, will be, as Mr. CHILDERS t:313 us. some
£9,990,000, viz., £8,104,000 for tffective services,

NON-COLLEGIATE STUDENTS AT CAMBRIDGE.

The Cambridge Senate have been discussing the
advisability of following the example of the govern.-.
ing body at Oxford, by admitting to the benefits of
university teaching students unconnected .with
any college. There was a long discussion on Satur-
day, and the result was that a general approval was
expressed of a scheme which had been drawn up for
carrying out this idea.
THE LATE SM, JABIES EMERSON-TENNENT.

Most of the obituary notices of the late Sir James
Emerson Tennent omit to state that he was the
author of a book called " The Story of the Guns."
This book caused a considerable sensation at the
time ; for it was a severe attack upon the mode in
which the Armstrong guns had been introduced into
the service, and also upon the gun itself. The force
of the attack was, however, somewhat neutralised
when it became known that Sir James was a partner
in the rival Whitworth Company, whose gun was
extolled as much as the Armstrong gun was con-
demned. The book was a piece of literary sharp
practice that was very unfavourably criticised.

THE DERBY DIFFICULTY.

- - -•
Mr. Studd and the Epsom Course Committee are
still at issue. The Sporting Magazine hopes the
latter will stand their ground firmly, oven if the
Derby has to be declared off, and that they
will give a £2,000 Plate in its place round
the new course. The demand that they should
sign a lease for twenty-one years, at 1!2,500 for
the first year, and f:1,000 for each of the others, is an
outrageous demand, which every turfite should help
them to resist, and it does not make it any better
that Mr. Studd should offer to give half of it in the
first year to a stake. :Mr. Briscoe, M.P., the present
lord of the manor, is opposed to such a step, and all
the precedents to which it would give rise. If he
were to die, they know nothing about the terms they
might make with his successor. They might
not have the Downs at all, and yet be
hampered with a £l,OOO a year rent till
1888. They have made a very harAsome offer
to take Mr. Studd's part of the course for 7-ii"O a year,
for five years certain ; the ninety-nine years lease to
be determinable after that at a year's notice. Mr.
Studd has every reason to be satisfied. He got his
new estate entirely out of his Salamander winnings,
and he has rewarded the British public for the money
he got out of them by being the indirect author of a
"etter Derby course. The doubt which hangs over
die Derby of the next two years should be promptly
set at rest, and it certainly seems the duty of the
Jockey Club to move in the matter.

SACRIFICE TO BACCLIr.

The Lancet, by the aid of the house surgeons of
the various metropolitan hospitals, is able to present
us readers with the number and nature of the acci-
dents due to drink which were treated in those insti-
tutions during Boxing Day and night. The total
number was 181, including thirty-eight fractures of
various bones, the fractures of both bones of the log
very largely preponderating, and broken ribs coming
next.

COMMUNICATION BETWEEN PASSE,NOEIIS AND

GUARDS.

It will be remembered that a few weeks ago a
general meeting of the managers of the principal
railways ran experimental trains between York,
Mahon, and Scarborough, to test the South-Eastern,
the London and North-Western, and the North-
Eastern methods of obtaining communication
between passenger, guard, and driver in railway
trains. The plan invented by Mr. G. Brown, of the
North -Eastern, it is understood by the Railway News,
was generally:approved, the chief objection being that,
as the whole apparatus was outside, it necessitated
the opening of a window to reach it. This has been
remedied, and the signal is now within reach of any
passenger in each compartment. By pulling a handle,
a depression is caused in the cord which passes over
the doors of the carriage the whole length of the
train, the jerk at the same time throwing out a small
red semaphore to indicate the compartment, ringing
a bell in the guard's van, and blowing the driver's
whistle on the engine. On Thursday an experimental
train fitted with the new arrangement ran to Scar-.
borough. The plan is extremely simple, and seemed
as perfect as anything could be hoped for, and will be
recommended to the Board of Trade. The applica-
tion of some plan becomes compulsory, in April next,
under the Act of last session.

THE ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN RAILWAYS.
The Railway .2Vews thinks highly of the lease
arrangements entered into between the Erie and
the Atlantic and Great Western Companies. Evi-
dence of the value of the agreement is afforded by
the fact that the steamers belonging to the company
which ran on Lake Erie from the port of Dunkirk, the
terminus of the Erie Railway, have now been removed
to Cleveland, the terminus of the Mahoning Valley
branch of the A.tlintic and Gre AWesternllailway. The
effect of this arrangement is to throw upon the
Atlantic and Great Western a very large amount of
additional traffic. Great alterations are also to be
carried out in regard to the cattle and mineral traffic,
and already the effect of the new arrangement is tell-
ing very favourably on the receipts and position of
the property. The funds are all in hand for meeting
the engagements of the company under the new
organisation of its finances. On the return to
England of the financial agent of the company, steps
will be taken for the payment of the over-due
coupons, and for distributing the funds in the hands
of the trustees of the debenture-holders. The traffic
of the line for the last two weeks shews an increase
of 37,000 dots., of which 15,000 dols. were due to the
last week in November. and 22,000 dols. to the first
week in December.

WESTMINSTER.

A 'VERY AWKWARD POSITION.—Alfred C. Piper,
a young man about 25 years of age, well dressed,
was charged with being found on the balcony of a
house in Colchester-street, Pimlico.

Mr. Foot, a gentleman residing in Colchester-
street, said that at half-past 1 this morning he was
awoke by his wife, who said she heard a noise
like a man sweeping a chimney. He thought
it very unlikely that such a process could have
been going on at that unseasonable hour. While
he and his wife were discussing the point they
heard a fresh noise and saw the shadow of a man
reflected from outside the house. Witness jumped
out of bed, and on going to the window saw the
prisoner on a balcony two or three doors off. He
called to him to know what he did there, and told him
he should give him into custody, which he did.
Sergeant Walker, 23 B, said that half-past one
he heard cries of " Police" from Colchester-street,
and went there, when he found prosecutor and pri-
soner standing together in the balcony. Witness
asked him what he was doing there, when he re-
plied it was all right, he wanted to see some one.
He declined to say to what house he was going. An
instrument, called a " knuckle-duster," was found
upon him.

Prisoner said he had had some words with a lady
with whom he was keeping company, and she went
in-doors. Seeing a light at her drawing-room
window he stupidly climbed the balcony two or
three doors off, and was going to her when prose-
cutor stopped him.

Mr. Selfe said that unless he could fully satisfy
him of his respectability he should remand him
until Wednesday. If he produced witnesses he
would hear them. He did so, and was liberated on
his own recoguisance.

THAMES..

The charges of drunkenness this day doubled
those of last Monday, which followed Boxing-day
on the previous Saturday. Mr. Partridge, who
officiated, soon dispo.ied of thetn, and in SOUL! cases
attended with disorderly cmduct, infficie 1 the
ordinary fine of ss. The others were discharged.
John head, an Irishman, was charged with
violently assaulting Mr. Guutop, a green grocer,
in High-street, 13ow. The prisoner was intoxi-
cated on Saturday night, and he accosted the com-
plainant, and after abusing him without any pro-
vocation whatever he struck him on the mouth and
dislodged one of his teeth, putting him to serious
pain and inconvenience.

The prisoner made a long defence about his
drunkenness, and a variety of subjects, but made
no allusion to the assault.

Mr. Partridge said he could not pass over such
a violent assault as this without severe punishment,
and sentenced the prisoner to a month's imprison-
ment and hard labour.
London, England, 1869-01-04

REMARKS.

Since Saturday considerable ct,angoa have occurred in the distribu-
tion of barometrical pressure over these islands. The decrease which
had commenced in the W. on the afternoon of that day continued
w:th great rapidity, and during yesterday extended to all stations.
This diminution has, however, been succeeded by an increase, and
readings have now recovered considerably. Pressure is high in the
S. of France, but still low in Scotland : the readingat Nairn is G'B9ln.
below that at Rochefort. Temperature had increased yesterday,
except in the. W., where it had fal'en. This morning it is lower at
almost all stations, but a fresh rise has occurred in the S. of Ireland.
During Saturday night end part of yesterday hard south-westerly
gales blew on almost all our coasts, afterwards veering, as usual, to
the westward, and moderating. This morning the wind is generally
moderate in these islands—westerly on the southern coasts and
south-westerly elsewhere. In the W. of France strong winds con-
tinue, and a gale is reported at Cape Clear. Rain has been general,
and thunder, lightning, and hail have prevailed in the W. The sky
is clear in the N., and cloudy or. overcast elsewhere. The sea is very
high at Valencia and Cape Clear.
