THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEiMBER 18, 1860

Conservatives, too, to insist next year on the far
better principle—once an elector always an elector.
The other thing which electors are reminded of
by the return of the annual pest of Registration—
is the necessity of organisation. We believe there
is nothing like the good old English Club. Malden
set us an example, the other day, by reviving its old
Liberal Club. While it was in active existenze in
times gone by it could secure a fair share of the
representation for the county ; since it ceased its
activity, Essex has been overrun with Tories. They
are now nine to one there. The Maldon Club means
to rectify all that. And what is doing at Maldon
must be done all over the country. Combination,
meeting, mutual encouragement is the life of the
Liberal party. We have no pecuniary gains to
fight for, no unfair privilege to maintain. We fight
for equal privilege for all. Hence our opponents
can always find a body of persons everywhere, who
have aepecial, almost a personal interest, in co-
ercing or cajoling their neighbours. Liberals have
only a common cause, which they must keep before
the people at large, if the beneficiaries of
privilege and monopoly are not to steal
a march upon them, Certain it is that the Con-
servatives believe that there is a reaction in their
favour. In the faith of it they are working very
hard everywhere. To think we shall win is half way
to victory. If Liberals, therefore, rely on the general
liberalism of public opinion, and forbear to combine
in the necessary organisations, we should not be at
all surprised, if a general election were precipitated
next spring, that the Conservatives had the
majority. Liberals may lay it down as an axiom
,hroughout this Registration, that—the workers
11 win.

The following telegrams have ben received at
Mr. Reuter's office :

TURIN, SEPT. 18.
The Neapolitan squadron, under the command of
Vice-Admiral Persano has arrived off Ancona.

The citadel of Spoleto has capitulated to the Sar-

dinian troops.
The garrison, numbering 600 men, were made
prisoners of war.

VIENNA, SEPT. 17.

Emperor of Russia, has arrived hese, the bearer of
an autograph letter from the Czar, inviting the
Emperor of Austria to an interview at Warsaw.

Baron Prokesch, Austrian internuncio at Con.
stantinople, will proceed next week to his post.

PARTS, SEPT. 18.

The correspondent of the Ccnstitutionnel, by
whom letters were addressed to the newspapers
from Bulgaria, has been arrested by the Austrian
police at Orsowa. He was immediately claimed
by the French Consul at Belgrade.

PARIS, SEPT. 18.

The Moniteur of this morning says :
" The Imperial squadron passed the heights of
Mahon at 11 a.m. on Sunday last."
ALGIERS, SEPT. 17, 9 A.M.
The Imperial squadron is in sight.

The Constitutionnel publishes an article, signed by
M. Grandguillot, against the extreme party, which,
after having counselled the Pope to follow a policy
without concessions, now advises him to take to
flight without honour. M. Grandguillot recalls
that as long as the French troops are at Rome the
security of the person and the authority of the
Pope are guaranteed.
M. Grandguillot expresses an earnest desire that
the Pope should not quit Rome, and continues
thus—" In expressing these wishes we have only in
view the interests of the Papacy, for that which at
present complicates the position of France is the
presence of her army at Rome, and if this occupa-
tion could cease all would be simplified, at least in
a political point of view. It is not Rome that we
occupy, but it is the Papacy which we defend. Our
occupation could in no case assume a political
character. The first consequence of the flight of

the Pope would be the evacuation of Rome by the
French, and in leaving we should carry with us
great uneasiness respecting the future of the tem-
poral power of the Pope."
The correspondent of the Constitutionnel, by
wnom letters were addressed to the newspapers from
Bulgaria, has been arrested by the Austrian police
at Orsova. He wag immediately claimed by the
French consul at Belgrade.

PARIS, SEPT. 1

In addition to the memorandum explaining the
entry of Sardinian troops into the Papal States,
addressed by Count Cavour to the diplomatic agents
of Bardinia, for communication to the respective
foreign Courts, the Chevalier Nigra, Sardinian re-
sident Minister at Paris, communicated a confiden-
tial despatch to M. Thouvenel the day before yes-
terday.

In this despatch Count Cavour is said to have
endeavoured to show that the occupation of the
Marches and Umbria was indispensable, in order
to avoid a collision between Garibaldi and the
French troops occupying Rome.

This despatch is also said to state that Garibaldi
has given Piedmont to understand, in a peremptory
manner, that if she does not immediately disperse
the foreign volunteers of the Papal army, he would
proceed from Naples to Rome in order to pursue
and accomplish the task himself, and that he would
only respect Rome on the condition that the
Marches and Umbria were occupied by Sardinian
troops.

The Patric says :—" The reports that disturb-
ances had taken place at Subiaco, Tivoli, and
Albano are unfounded,"

The same journal asserts that Austria is about to
remit to the Powers a protest against the late
events in Italy.
News from Naples state that Kossuth was ex-
pected in that city. The Neapolitan squadron
under the command of Vice-Admiral Persano, had
doubled Cape Spartivento, on its way to Ancona.

Dr. Brambilla, in whom the Dictator of the Two
Sicilies appears to place unlimited confidence, ar-
rived yesterday evening at Turin from Naples. They
are bearers of a letter from the famous General to
the King. The audacious warrior in this letter traces
the same programme as developed in the proclama-
tion to the people of Palermo—that is to say, that
he shall not regard his mission as terminated until he
has arrived at Rome and Venice, and that, despite
his ardent desire for immediate annexation, the
interests of the continuation of his enterprise are
opposed to that measure.
" Garibaldi concludes his letter by saying that
he has no confidence in M. Cavour, and that that is
the reason he cannot listen to counsels sent him

from Turin.
"This letter, which is not known to the public,
and. of which I can guarantee the most perfect
authenticity, has produced a great sensation in
official circles. As yet nothing has been decided as
to the terms in which the King's reply is to be
couched.
" M. de Rayneval, first Secretary of the Embassy,
has been appointed Charge d'Affaires during the
absence of M. de Talleyrand."

LIT.ERATURE.

Carstone Rectory. By George Graham. 3 vols.
Hurst and Blackett.
This is a brilliant novel that displays a consider-
able share of ability, and discloses in a striking
manner some of the chief characteristics of a flirt.
There is hardly any member of society who plays a
part so despicable as the woman who sets out with
the avowed aim, end, and object of attracting
attention, and goes on from one extreme to another
till she reaches a point even she might have shud-
dered at had she seen it at the outset. Few more
pitiable spectacles does mortality present in its dark
days of suffering, its weary years of old age and
decrepitude, and its awful hours of approaching
death than these butterflies who have sported from
flower to flower in their bright hey-day of youth
and beauty. Truly may it be said of them—. They
to the mercies of a moment leave the weighty
cares of an eternal scene." Flora Lonsdale is a
finished specimen of this hateful class, and she
could hardly have been better pourtrayed. It is very
natural that Mordaunt should have been deceived
in her, as in nothing do men make more mistakes
than in their opinion of those pretty doll• like crea-
tures who seem all innocence and simplicity, till the
fatal day of discovery, when they are found all
guile and subterfuge. Eleanor shines brightly by
the contrast; she is an estimable girl, and one who
improves on acquaintance. It lessens the pity one
might feel for Mordaunt's disappointment when
we reflect that he passed by such a peerless gem in
his hasty snatching at the meretricious and gaudy
prize held out 'to him. Some of the scones at Bath
are admirably drawn, and ono feels assured that
they are given by a master hand in the delineation
of this peculiar style. The three worthies who were
the princes of fashion in the pei sons of Dillon,
Lepel, and Sir Hugh Barton, are apt illustrations
of men of ton. Dillon had the advantage in
that he was essentially superior in' himself to the
folly of the surrounding things in which he took
such apparent interest. It is satisfactory to find that
at last he marries Miss Carsdale, who was a gentle
and gracious lady, in every way too good for the
flippant set amongst which she was obliged to
mix. Mrs. George Lonsdale, the aunt, under
whose fatal auspices Flora was introduced
into society was a woman of the world, in whom
natural selfishness and conceit, with acquired folly
and deceitfulness had choked up almost every
avenue-of good, and rendered her a fearful stum-
bling block in the way of advancement to all who
came within the sphere of her influence. Notwith-
standing the folly and wickedness of those who
urged on the giddy girl, it was better that Flora
should exhibit herself in her true colours before the
marriage than after. It was impossible a union
with a man of Mordaunt's intellectual taste, and
high-toned principles could have been a prosperous
one. Their very different dispositions would
have been ever at variance, their discordant ele-
ments of feeling would have jarred eternally, and
eventual misery must have been the result. Far
better would. it be for all who are engaged to such
triflers to bear bravely the wrench that separates
in mercy instead of assuming the bonds that join
in dreadful doom hearts that never agree, and
minds that are asunder as the poles. Mrs. Lons-
dale was a fit mother for such a daughter, but
Mrs. George had the most character about her.
Mr. Bromley, the rector of Carstone, is an easy sort
of man, who thinks rather too much about the
comforts of life to be exactly in accordance with
the spirit of his vocation. He is, however, an up-
right man, and he occasionally displays much
acuteness of discernment, as in the case of his be-
friending Sir Allan Mountjoy, and he exhibits
some necessary firmness when he will not let his
favourite Eleanor be driven away from the Rectory
to suit the fancies of Mrs. Lonsdale and her amiable
daughter. He also shows great sense in telling
the mother of Flora to take her daughter to her
indigenous haunts of fashion instead of bringing
her back to the sequestered shades of Carstone
Rectory. To this wandering life the fair Flora
is left, to disport herself through all the bright
hours of youth and beauty in the glare of
crowded assemblies, and the excitement of vain
desires, and at last to find in the misery of
frustrated desires, and the weariness of worn out
strength of body and exhausted energy of mind,
that all is vanity and vexation of spirit. Eleanor
was destined:to a far brighter lot than at-first seemed
at all probable. She had had to endure the mor-
tification of seeing
.the man she was attached to,
and who had at one time seemed to care for her, select
another, and one that she knew would bring him
misery. But Eleanor Stuart possessed a spirit that
rose above all obstacles, and a principle that sus-
tained her surely in the hour of need. In the dingy
parlour of Mrs:Grant where she was forlorn, un-
noticed, and neglected, she might have taught the
fops of fashion and' the belles of the circles who
looked down upon her, many a wise lesson, and
showed them many a high example. She was of
great service to Sir Allan Mountjoy, an early friend
of her childhood, then a poor dependent, neglected
• and untaught, but now, by the deaths of his haughty
relations called to the proud position of the inherit-
ance of a great name and a splendid estate. Memory
lighted up the dark past with one bright vision, and
it was true to his nature, that she who had solaced
adversity should be the chosen of his heart when m
prosperity. Eleanor had conquered her first at-
tachment, she was not the maiden to waste tears
on one who had preferred a trifler like her cousin
to her ; a mournful recollection lingered in the dis-
tant twilight of memory, but all excitement was
over, an d all expectation for ever vanished. She went
forth in her cairn dignity, in her refined attractions,
a thousand times more really beautiful than the
