TIIE MANUFACTURE OF WATCHES AND CLOCKS.--
A most interesting and instructive little work, describing briefly
but with great clearness, the rise and progress of watch and
clock makin , has just been published by Mr J. W. Benson, of
25, Old Bond-street, 99, Westbourne-grove, and the City Steam
Factory, 5S and 60, Ludgate-hill. The book, which is profusely
illustrated, gives a full description of the various kinds of watches
and clocks, with their prices, and no one should make a purchase
without visiting the above establishments or consulting this truly
valuable work. By its aid persons residing in any part of the
United Kingdom, India, or the Colonies, are enabled to select for
themselves the watch best adapted for their use, and have it sent
to them with perfect safety. Mr. Benson, who holds the appoint-
ment to the Prince of Wales, sends this pamphlet to any address
on receipt of two postage stamps, and we cannot too strongly
t ecommend it to the notice of the intending purchaser,

ELECTION PETITIONS.

DROGFIEDA.—On Tuesday, Justice Keogn declared tba'
Mr. Whitworth was guilty of undue influence at the
Drogheda election, by himself and others, that a systeis
of intimidation had been organised, that outrages werd
committed which had deterred electors from voting, anC
that the costs of the petition must be paid by Mr. Whit
worth.

GIIILDFORD.—The trial of the petition against Mr
Onslow, the member for Guildford, has commenced before
Mr. Justice Willes. Mr. Elkins and others are the
petitioners, and they pray that the election be declared
void, on the ground of bribery carried on on behalf of the
sitting member. Mr. Overend, Q.C., opened the case fo]
the petitioners.

BEWDLEY.-11.1r. Justice Blackburn has commenced the
hearing of the petition against the sitting member foi
Bewdley. The petitioners are Messrs. Sturge and Bald.
win, and they claim the seat on behalf of Mr. Lloyd, the
defeated Liberal candidate. The excitement here wa(
very great, and in the rush to enter the court a policemaE
was crushed to death.

As far as the inquiries have proceeded, two Liberals
have been unseated in Ireland, Mr. Devereux and Mr.
Whitworth : and in Enaland one Conservative, Sir Henry
Stracey.

RUSSIA.

The Marquise de Caux (Adelina Patti) arrived at St.
Petersburg on the 10th. She received an almo st official
welcome. The director of the Imperial theatres and several
of the attaches of the French Embassy awaited her at the
railway station. The charming singer has turned the
heads of the phlegmatic Russians ; wines, scents, and
articles of dress have been christened after her, and the
name of Patti figures as prominently in the Russian capital
as recently did La Lanterns in Paris. Accordingly, when
the Marquise made her debut, the audience was prepare
to be frantic. It recalled her forty times during the per-
formance of "La Sonnambula." It does not appear why
they stonned then.

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

THE REDUCTIONS.

The Admiralty is not only determined to stop
wastefulness itself, but is anxious that those under
its control should learn to practise economy. A
circular has just been issued calling upon every one
to co-operate with the Board in the work it has
undertaken. The following paragraph will
shew the spirit in which the notice is written :
" Economy in administration is attained not only by
spending no more than is necessary on the work
which is undertaken, but (still more) by not under-
taking work unless it be absolutely requisite for the
public service. Moreover, effective control over
expenditure is better secured by holding compe-
tent officers responsible (within due limits)
for necessary work, and by enforcing the con-
sequences of that responsibility, than by too
minute interference by superior authority." Each
official, from Admiral-Superintendent to clerk, is
told to be oh his guard. One order is especially
worth notice, as directed against one of the greatest
evils of our Government offices. " Officers in every
branch of the service are enjoined to reduce the
amount of useless writing and copying by all the
means in their power." This is the heaviest blow
dealt at the Circumlocution Office since Ar-. Dickens
pit it into a novel.

" changing the essential bases of the constitution."

YESTERDAY one of the most magnificent poten-
tates in the world bade farewell to the country
which he had been governing. Yesterday the ruler
, of 150 millions of people became a private gentleman.
He had not been driven from his dominions by
enraged subjects whom he had forced into rebellion
by his bad government. He had not been compelled
to abdicate nor to sacrifice his throne in order to save
his life. On the contrary, he had been a beneficent
ruler, and when he departed he was treated with every
mark of honour and respect. The explanation of the
puzzle is simply this. Sir Joux LAWRENCE, having
, fulfilled his term of office, having ruled one-sixth of
the human race for five years, had to retire, accord-
ing to the wise rule that will not entrust so weighty
an office to one man for more than a brief period.
Sir Jon LAWRENCE, having spent just forty years
in India in various capacities—from the lowest rank of
the civil service to the magnificent position of Vice-
roy—has now left the country in which he has spent
two-thirds of his life,the country which a dozen years
ago he saved, and which in all probability he will
never see again. Looking back over those forty
years, what a series of events must the late VICEROY
recall. The conquest of Candahar, the disaster in
Afghanistan, the annexation of Scinde, the Sikh
war, the annexation of the Punjab, the Burmese
war, the annexation of Oude, the great mutiny,
the Bhotan war, the construction of our railway
system, the transmission of the first telegraphic.
message from England. All these, and many
other events in swift succession, might well
make Sir Jour LAWRENCE despise our quiet sober-
going life in England, with its petty disputes.
But, after all, the life of a nation does not consist
in its wars nor in its annexations. The glory
of a ruler is not the square miles which he
has added to his territory, but the wise laws which
he his given to his subjects. Is the Indian nation
any the better for our rule during the ninety-seven
years that have elapsed between the assumption of
the Governor-Generalship 'by WARREN lIA ST ING s
and its assumption by Lord 31A1 Yo ? Has the Indian

MORAL SPASMS.

We tare suffering just now from a spasmodic
attack of morality. Woe be to any one who is found
out within the ne::t few months doing anything
wrong--be he proprietor of bestial " Judge and
Jury," owner of a shady night-house, or director of a
joint-fitock company. The public has suddenly been
aroused. The night-houses have existed for years
without molestation, but now they must be shut. The
accompashed baron—we believe he is a baronet—
who ret. Os at half a crown a head filthy gutterings
to the " voung man of the period," has long carried
on his di: 'gusting business. But it is only now that
he is dis lowered to he something more than a
nuisance. In the ether department of immorality—
commercial immoral2w—there is an equally keen
desire for punishing thegvuilty, and. two batches of di-
rectors have trials pending. vinally,the liquidators of
Overend, Gurney, and Co. have
come to the conclu-
sion that perhaps something may b got out of the
directors, and they have " filed a against the
directors of the company, with a view of making
them responsible for the losses sustaine,4.
by the
shareholders arising out of the purchase of
ness of the 4 old firm.' and the mode in which _the

Whatever may be said of trades unions, they
certainly are not always reasonable. The dispute
between masters and masons as to dressing stone,
-which lirs raged in Manchester and elsewhere for the
last few weeks, and has relieved there a comparatively
dull period, is a case in point. Some time back the
men struck against stone being rough-dressed by
machinery. They were powerful enough to force the
masters to submission. But rough-dressing stone by
hand is by no means a profitable employment, and this
the men soon discovered. Whereupon, awaythey went
again to the masters, begging for the restoration of
the discarded machinery. But the masters, having
made a change, and having been made to knock
under, and for other reasons not stated, refused the
request. The men now threaten to strike. The
masters are said to be firm, and the men " obstinate."
But it does seem rather too bad that after what had
taken place the men should act as they are now

REMARKS.

The slight diminution in pressure noticed in the west yesterday
afternoon bas since last evening extended to all stations ; though
the change has at present been small. Readings, though com-
paratively uniform, arc lowest in the west—that at Greencastle being
lower than that at Yarmouth. Very high pressures have been
prevailing in Russia for the last few days, with very low temperature.
In the west of France temperature has decreased from 10 to 15 deg.,
and a similar change, but to less extent, has occurred in England.
The weather at Nairn is warm, and the difference of reading between
it and Rochefort is 20 deg. The winds in the N. and W. of our
islands are all between S. and S.W., and a very strong southerly
wind has appeared in the Irish Channel since last night. On our
south coast light south-easterly breezes are blowing, and winds are
from E. to N.E. on the French coasts. Rain has fallen in the west—
very heavily at Valencia. The sky is cloudy, but the air much clearer
than during the past few days. The sea is calm generally. Weather
seems unsettled, as there is so much difference in temperatures.

THE STONEMASONS IN LAI:CASIIIRE.

A EC TT,E OF PRAYER.?

" Ladies and gentlemen, you can take your choice
of any seat in the house except Mr. Beecher's." Such
were the words which Mr. Pilsbury, the auctioneer,
addressed to the fashionable attendance who crowded
to the annual auction of seats in Mr. Henry Ward
Beecher's church at Brooklyn, New York, a few days
rgo." flow much am I offered? How much am I
offered, gentlemen ? Two hundred dollars !—twenty-
five, fifty, seventy-live, three hundred, three-fifty,four
hundred dollars, gentlemen ! five, ten, fifteen, four
hundred and fifteen dollars, gentlemen. Who is the
happy man? Going at twenty, at twenty, at twenty,
at four hundred and twenty dollars-420—are you all
done at four hundred and twenty dols.? Sold! to Henry
C. Bowen for four hundred and twenty dols." Mr.
Bowen took No. 89, the second pew directly back of
the pastor. Mr. Bowen had to pay this amount in
addition to the assessed value of the pew, so that it
cost him 540 dols.—say.loo guineas. Very spirited
in Mr. Bowen ; more spirited than spiritual, in fact.
The total amount paid for pew rents at the auction
was about 10,000 guineas. At this rate Mr. Beecher
must be doing better than a director in city com-
panies, with the additional advantage that he is in no
danger of a proszcution for conspiracy.

CEItIIANY.

The project of a South German Confederation seems to
have died of inanition. Three of the four States are con-
tent with their independence and their alliance with the
North ; Bavaria alone, who would attain the first place in
a Southern Confederation, still endeavours indirectly to
bring it about. Hitherto, however, its intrigues have met
with no success. It has even failed in its attempt to
create a combined army of the South. An endeavour to
establish common consulates for the four States has met
with no better reception. A certain number of these con-
sulates already exist, but they are common to North as
well as to South Germany, and the Wurtemberg journals
contend that to maintain consuls for the South only would
be a needless expense.

ELECTION PETITIONS.

-0-

DROGHEDA.—On Tuesday, Justice Keogn declared Um'
Mr. Whitworth was guilty of undue influence at th(
Drogheda election, by himself and others, that a systen
of intimidation had been organised, that outrages wen
committed which had deterred electors from voting, azz
that the costs of the petition must be paid by Mr. Whit
worth.

GIIILDFORD.—The trial of the petition against Mr
Onslow, the member for Guildford, has commenced before
Mr. Justice Wines. Mr. Elkins and others are the
petitioners, and they pray that the election be declare
void, on the ground of bribery carried on on behalf of the
sitting member. Mr. Overend, Q.C., opened the case fol
the petitioners.
BEIVDLEY.—Mr. Justice Blackburn has commenced the
hearing of the petition against the sitting member foe
Bewdley. The petitioners are Messrs. Sturge and Bald.
win, and they claim the seat on behalf of Mr. Lloyd, the
defeated Liberal candidate. The excitement here was
very great, and in the rush to enter the court a policeman,
was crushed to death.

As fax as the inquiries have proceeded, two Liberals
have been unseated in Ireland, Mr. Devereux and Mr.
Whitworth : and in England one Conservative, Sir Henry
Stracey.

REMARKS.

The slight diminution in pressure noticed in the west yesterday
afternoon has since last evening extended to all stations; though
the change has at present been small. Readings, though com-
paratively uniform, are lowest in the west—that at Greencastle being
0111 n. lower than that at Yarmouth. Very high pressures have been
prevailing in Russia for the last few days, with very low temperature.
In the west of France temperlture has decreased from 10 to 15 deg.,
and a similar change, but to less extent, has occurred in England.
The weather at Nairn is warm, and the difference of reading between
it and Rochefort is 20 deg. The winds iu the N. and W. of our
islands are all between S. and S.W., and a very strong southerly
wind has appeared in the Irish Channel since last night. On our
south coast light south-easterly breezes are blowing, and winds are
from E. to N.E. on the French coasts. Rain has fallen in the west.—
very heavily at Valencia. The sky is cloudy, but the air much clearer
than during the past few days. The sea is calm generally. Weather
seems unsettled, as there is so much difference in temperatures.

The Right llon. the Attorney-General for Ireland
has left Dublin for Ifawarden Castle, North Wales, en a visit

A terrible tragedy is reported from Nuneaton. A
man named Thomas Charnel has murdered his wife by cut-
, ing her throat with a razor, and then committed suicide by
cutting his own. When the police visited the house thorn
were evidences of a severe struggle having taken place, tht
woman having two fingers cut off, and a terrible wound as
the beck of her head.

THE MANCHESTER EXPERIMENT.

The Star attaches great importance to the Manchester
Ballot, and thinks the precedent which it will establish will
be of the highest importance. Such a choice as is about,
to take place cannot be made to the satisfaction of the
electors without proving the efficacious character of the
means resorted to. These means have not been altogether
'mused in our electoral proceedings, for though the Ballot
has been successfully resisted in Parliament, it has more
than once been employed by the Liberal constituencies
to decide between rival candidates. But these cases
have been comparatively insignificant, and the Ballot
has been taken with little ceremony and no
special precautions for secrecy. In fact, the
Ballot has been used without any thought of
deriving from a local experiment an argument for
the general employment of that method of voting. More-
over, it. has been used without proper care being to obtain
AP nearly as possib'e the suffrages of all concerned. And
in the actual voting there has been a great deal of muddle.
Whatever local utility, therefore, may have accrued from
resort to the Ballot in these examples, they did not greatly
improve the position of secret voting before the country at
large ; and this is what is to be expected from the Man-
chester experiment. The Liberals who voted in the last,
ection number some twenty thousand. In fact, they con-
stitute of themselves a great community. Twenty thousand
persons living within one borough, and owning party
allegiance, cannot avail themselves formally and metho-
dically of the Ballot without establishing a precedent of
great value. First, it will provide for the settlement of
differences wherever there is an unmanageable number of
candidates. Secondly, it will lead up to the general
adoption of the Ballot, since a system which may be suc-
cessfully employed, even in the absence of the usual
electioneering appliances, could not but succeed when
practised with all the advantages of legal establishment
throughout the country.

TURKEY AND GREECE.

The Conference has done its little best, and the protocol
awaits the assent of Turkey and Greece. Some autho-
rities think that everything promises a conciliatory result;
others are doubtful of the attitude of the Turkish repre-
sentative, who awaits instructions. The LiberV believes
that the only object of the Porte was to gain time, and
thinks that the Powers have been outmanoeuvred by
Turkey as well as Greece. The same journal has received
a telegram from Constantinople, stating that the Porte
continues its rigorous measures against Crete and the
Greek shipping. Preparations for war still go on, and
fresh reinforcements have been sent to Thessaly.
