A Conference has been effectual, before now, in
stopping bloodshed, or in preventing it. But it is
as powerless as anything else that could be named,
as a means for putting an end to all war, as a prac-
tical method for establishing, at last, for once and for
all, of a reign of Universal Brotherhood. It is
nothing less than idle and fantastic to the last degree
to indulge in these floating day-dreams. One of the
only glimmerings of hope really anywhere to be
found that the horrors of war may be diminished, at
any rate in the frequency of their recurrence, comes
to us from the consideration that science has of late
years been rendering it, and is still for that matter
even now rendering it more and more appal-
lingly destructive. Time was when Captain
WARNER with his long-range theory was simply
laughed at as a visionary. It was like talking
of the Irishman's gun warranted to shoot round
the corner. The mention of his name provoked
a laugh and a shrug of the shoulders. It was almost
the same in regard to LieutenantWAGuoßN when that
enterprising innovator first broached his notion iu
respect to an overland journey to llindostan. While
it is a matter of history that Dr. LARDNER pro-
nounced the idea of any steam-ship ever crossing
the Atlantic ocean, to be one simply ridiculous. Never-
theless, in spite of all this, the Road to India is
overland—the screw-propeller is perpetually boring
its way across the Atlantic to and fro between the
Old World and the New—WARNER has been sur-
passed by WHlTwonnt—floating batteries have ren-
dered land fortifications as obsolete as chain-armour or
the catapult, as the cross-bow or the battle-axe --bullets
have been made explosive, and rifles breech-loaders,
while gunpowder has been eclipsed altogether as a
destructive agency by such infernal compounds as
that of nitro-glycerine. Missiles and projectiles are
becoming so appalling, in fact, that the time may
come even yet when nations will think more than
twice before they rush to arms.

ONE of the earliest motions made by private
members on the reassembling of the house of
Commons will be that moved by Mr. HENRY
BERKELEY, and supported by Sir HENRY BITLIVER,
in behalf of the Ballot. This question was for some
years under the charge of the philosophical Mr.
GROTE. Of late it has been entrusted
to the keeping of the jocose Mr. BERKELEY.
Under his management the subject cannot be
said to have made much progress. It is one
thing to amuse the llouse, another to convince it;
it is one thing to raise cheers and laughter in the
debate, another to win a majority in the division.
Mr. BERKELEY was better fitted for the former
object than for the latter. lie used to make his
annual motion entertaining enough, but he never
succeeded in getting it out of the region of joke.
With all his earnestness, therefore, it may be doubted
if he has not rather retarded than advanced the
Ballot'. It is dangerous for any question to
be associated in the minds of M.P.'s with
laughter, even though the laughter be with, not
at the advocate. Let the jester be ever so
sincere he will not get rid of the idea that his
reform is a harmless crotchet, to be laughed at and
joked over, but never to be realised. The supporters
of the Ballot have, therefore, cause to regret that

There is a further disadvantage in secret voting :
it permits crotcheteers to carry out their crotchets
without remonstrance. There are some persons who
are ever taking up some petty question and making
that the test of their political orthodoxy. They hold
up a sixpence close to their eyes, and the sixpence
shuts out the whole universe. They take up such
topics as the inspection of nunneries and the
regulation of clerical vestments, and determine
that they will vote for no man who does
not promise to do what they wish. If they
vote secretly, the other electors have no control over
them ,no control of the proper kind—that moral control
which a sound mind ought always to exercise upon a
mind which has a tendency to monomania. Another
disadvantage of the Ballot is that it violates the
principle of the franchise being a trust to be
exercised for the good of others. This principle is
undoubtedly not so important as it was before the
Reform Bill. There are more voters, therefore the
elector is trustee for fewer non-electors ; yet,
so long as the suffrage is not universal, the
elector must always be to a certain extent
responsible to the non-elector. Filially, the
Ballot is a remedy, not a preventive. We
would rather abolish intimidation than frustrate
it. We would educate the landowners and the clergy
and the manufacturers, to see that they are as
much guilty of wrong-doing in robbing a man of his
vote and doing violence to his conscience as they are
in taking his purse or doing violence to his person.
About a century ago it was proposed that M.P.'s
should have the Ballot in order to protect
them against the wrath of the Court. But
the Court has been educated into a better
state of things. The Sovereign no longer rewards
the QUEEN'S " friends," nor sends messages of royal
displeAsure to those who have not voted according to
the royal will. We would rather see this mode of
treatment adopted with the intimidators of electors.
We frankly confess, however, that the prospect of
doing so is not hopeful, and that with the increase in
the number of poor electors we can the less afford
to wait for a change which seems as remote as it is
desirable.

On the other hand, the undeniable advantages of
the Ballot are not few. The protection of
the dependent voter, which (rather than the preven-
tion of bribery) is the main object of the Ballot,
would be undoubtedly secured, and the painful con-
flicts between conscience and interest, between the
duty to the State and the duty to the family, would
be spared. Then, too, bribery would certainly be
diminished, though not, we think, be wholly pre-
vented. So long as small constituencies continue to
exist it would be quite possible for a candidate to
adopt Mr. LOWE'S payment for results, and promise
that if he were elected there would be so much
money forthcoming ; if not elected, there would
not be a farthing. But the great temp-
tation to bribery would cease with the abo-
lition of published statements of the poll. It is
about two o'clock in the afternoon, when the candi-
dates are neck and neck, when men's blood is hot
and their passions are roused, that the agents,
if not the principals, attempt to win by purchasing
the votes of the venal who have been waiting
for this opportunity. And if the election were
conducted secretly it would probably be conducted
orderly. For lack of information there would be
no excited mobs hustling electors and hooting candi-
dates. On the whole, there are but very few now,
we should conceive, but what must admit that the
balance is in favour of the Ballot. Certainly, its
undeniable advantages are too great for any hide-
pendent journalist to oppose it.

James Hill, 212 T, said he was called last night
at half.•past seven to Dr. Keen's, in Oakley-street,
Chelsea, where he found the prisoner, who had taken
a dose of laudanum. He was then quite out of
danger, but admitted having taken laudanum from
a bottle, which was found on him almost drained
dry. It had been bought at Mr. Carr's, 342, King's-
road, and was marked poison, and had contained
six drachms, value 6d.
Prisoner admitted taking the laudanum, which
he said he bought when under the influence of
liquor at Mr. Carr's. He had been drinking since
Christmas, and was in that state of despondency
that he did not know what he was doing, otherwise
he had nothing on his mind that would induce him
to take his life. _ .

ELECTION PETITIONS.—Judge Keogh has
made an order that Mr. M'Clure, M.P., should be sup-
plied on or before the 22d inst. with a bill of particulars,
specifying the alleged acts of bribery charged in the peti-
tion against his return for the borough of Belfast. Mr.
M'Clure, in his affidavit, denied the charges. A similar
order was made in the matter of the Carrickfergus peti-
tion.

Mr._ Selfe remanded him to Saturday week, and
directed a summons to issue against the druggist.

CHAnGE OF ASSAULT AND FELONT.—WHITE-
CHAPEL ROUGHS.—Martin Duggan, a loafer, and
Catherine Cunningham, a most notorious and
abandoned thief and prostitute, were brought be-
fore Mr. Paget, the first charged with assaulting a
police-constable and attempting to rescue a pri-
soner from his custody, and the other with assault-
ing and robbing a woman named Mary Barry, of
E van s' - walk, Whi tech apel.
The prosecutrix is an old offender, and has been
five years in penal servitude for felony. She is re
formed, is married, and has been well conducted of
late. The female prisoner was stated by Roche, the
gaoler, to have been in custody often, and she had
been convicted of felonies, assaults, drunkeness, and
everything that was bad. Other officers spoke of her
in the same manner, and said she was a dangerous
character.

EXPLANATION'

Sir HENRY
_BULWER, who had given notice of his
intention to take the lead in this subject, has felt
himself compelled to yield to Mr. BERKELEY'S
claim of precedence; for there are signs and tokens
enough `that tlie country is too much in earnest
about this question to leave it any longer

REMARKS.

The prosecutrix said that she was met last night
by the woman Cunningham, who demanded gin
of her, and on her refusal to give her any, made
an attack upon her and stole ss. from her hands.
There were marks of violence on the prosecutrix,
who said Cunningham used a key and struck her
with it several times. A police-constable, Alfred
Burgoyne, 115 11, was taking Cunningham to the
station-house when the male prisoner interfered.
He was told to go about his business, and he struck
the constable, and tried to rescue the woman. Both
were taken into custody.
Mr. Paget doubted whether a robbery had been
committed, and sentenced Cunningham to be im-
prisoned for two months and hard labour, and
Duggan to one month's imprisonment and hard
labour.

" Good bye, Kate ; good luck to you," exclaimed
many voices at the back of the court. .

A meeting of the Trades' Unions Commissioners
was held yesterday at No. 1, Park-prospect, Great Queen-
street, Westminster. Present—Sir W. Erie (chairman),
Lot d Elcho, M.P., Sir D. Gooch, M.P., Mr. Herman Mori-
vale, C. 8., Mr. Jas. Booth, C. 8., Mr. J. A. Roebuck, Q.C.,
Mr. T. Hughes, M.P., Mr. Frederic Harrison, and Mr. W.
Mathews. Mr. J. C. Trail], secretary to the Commission,
was also present.

.daroraetrical pressures are about one-tenth of an inch greater
than they were yesterday morning in the S.W., but on the N. coasts
a slight diminution has occurred. High readings are now reported
from the south : at Rochefort the reading is nearly (r6in. above that
at Nairn. Temperature has risen on our N. and E. coasts : in the S.
little difference is perceptible. Moderate south-westerly winds pre.
vailed yesterday, and continues this morning. Much fog and mist
prevailed over our islands during yesterday, and mist is still reported
at places—chiefly in the W. A. small amount of rain has fallen in the
south. The sky is generally overcast.

Mr. Tyrwhitt, when imposing a penalty a few
days ago on a theatrical dressmaker, for employing women
after half-past four on Saturday, stated that after the Ist
January, 1869, employmeet must cease at two o'clock on
Saturday. Tho magistrate, if correctly reported, has over-
looked one of the prominent exceptions under the
Workshops Regulation Act, which legalises the employment
of milliners and dressmakers till four o'clock on Saturdays
provided they do not begin work before eight o'clock in the
morning. If work is begun at six on Saturday morning,
then it must cease at two; if at seven, then at three; if At
eight, then at four. No work is permitted after four o'clock
on Saturdays.

The Bishop of Rochester took tea with about UOO
of his old parishioners at Kidderminster on Tuesday
last, on ! the' occasion of the annual sok& of the
Church of England Mutual Improvement Society. In
his speech the Bishop said it was still an enigma to him
why the society did not succeed more. Working mon as a
body did not seem ready to avail themselves with pleasure
and delight of an educational society. There had been a
great deal of talk about educat. on for many years, but,
owing to one cause or another, he did not think much had
been done, or as much as they might now reasonably ex-
pect, he did not say from the present Parliament, but from
the present and those that were to come after it.

Some of the operative stone masons of Bradford
have renewed the old struggle against the introduction of
machinery in their trade. Tho men in the employ of
Messrs. Beanland, of that town, a short time since,
protested against the use of machinery in dressing
stone to a greater extent than suited the men them-
selves. The employers terminated the dispute by
agreeing that some stones dressed by machinery should
be redressed by hand. A difficulty having again arisen as
to the extent to which the machinery has been employed,
the mesters resolved that the men should dress the stones
entirely by hand. It appears, however, that the work would
not he remunerative to the men unlessrnachinery is partially
used, and another strike has taken place.

At a meeting of the directors of the Manchester
Chamber of Commerce, on Wednesday a resolution was
adopted declaring that the comme,cial treaty between
England and France "has proved highly beneficial to
lie commerce and the general prosperity of the two nn-
dons." At the same time, it was urged that an effort should
be made to obtain a reduction of "the very high duties en
certain classes of English manufactures," and a sub-com-
tulttee was appointed to prepare a list of the articles belong

THE PRIVY COUNCIL AND THE
MACKONOCHJE CASL;

The Record declares that the judgment of the Judicial
Committee of the Privy Council in re Mr. Mackonochie
was unanimous. " The report was drawn up by Lord
Cairns, who had been deputed to discharge that office, after
the arguments in the case had been considered and the
judgment had been agreed on by the Committee. The
report when drawn up was then submitted in print for
the approval, suggestions, and criticisms of each sepa-
rate member, and, after having been finally approved
by Lord Westbury, and, as we are informed, by every
member of tho Judicial Committee, the judgment,
so manipulated and agreed on, was delivered by Lord
Cairns, in the presence of four of the members, all five
publicly acting in concert. Lord Westbury, in conformity
with the tenour of his pointed and sagacious remarks
during the arguments, gave his important sanction to the
final report."

THE PRIME MINISTER AND THE CLERGY

The Rtv. J. IL Wankisn, of Bournemouth, sends
to the papers a eorrespondence between himself
and Mr. Gladstone. In a letter to the Prime Minis-
ter, the rev. gentleman wished to know whether
in his speech to his Greenwich constituents Mr.
Gladstone meant to accuse the clergy of improperly
using their influence at the last election, and whether, to
support that accusation, ho bad " examined the conduct
of the 20,000 men who form the body of the clergy, or that of
the majority of that number." Mr. Wanklyn wished for an
answer "in order to give the same publicity to his (Mr.
Gladstone's) explanation as his accusation had received."
But the Prime Minister simply acknowledges the receipt
of the letter through his private secretary, as follows :
" 10, Downing-street, Whitehall, Dec. 28, 1868. Sir, I
am directed by Mr. Gladstone to acknowledge the receipt
of your letter of the 23rd instant, relating to his address to
his constituents at Greenwich.—l am, sir, your obedient
servant, ALGERNON WEST. Rev. J. H, Wanklyn."
