IT was stated during the long and stormy debates
on the Reform Bill that Mr. DISRAELI persevered
with his measure in spite of difficulties that would
have overwhelmed an ordinary man, because of his
great desire to have his name written in the
statute-book. Until then he had succeeded in pass-
ing no measure of importance, and he was seeing life
ebb away with no lasting memorial of him. In
the end Mr. DISRAELI succeeded in passing
two measures of first-class importance, the Reform
Bill and the Corrupt Practices Bill. It must be con-
fessed that these offspring of the ex-Premier's
statesmanship are treating the author of their being
with gross ingratitude. iCT2EON devoured by his
own dogs did not present a more heart-moving, tear-
compelling spectacle than Mr. DISRAELI suffering
under the effects of his two great statutes. The
Reform Act placed him in a minority of about
112. The Corrupt Practices Act is reducing
that minority still more. One after another
Conservative M.P. is being unseated; one
after another of the great triumphs of Conservative
reaction is turning out to be due to Conservative
gold or to Conservative intimidation. Sir HENRY
STRACEY has been unseated at Norwich, Sir RICHARD
GLASS at Bewdley, Sir ARTHUR GUINNESS at Dublin,
and Mr. PHIPPS at Westbury. Mr. RIPLEY, though
a Liberal, was the champion of the Conservative
party at Bradford, and he, too, has been unseated,
On the other hand, the Conservatives have vainly
endeavoured to unseat Mr. EYKYN at Windsor, Mr.
ONSLOW at Guildford, Messrs. GAVIN and RUSSELL
at Limerick, Mr. DALIVAY at Carrickfergus, Mr.
M'CLURE at Belfast, Mr. RYLANDS at Warrington,
Mr. FORSTER at Bradford, and they have withdrawn
their petitions against Mr. Pmr at Dublin and Mr.
IIoNcnErET in Glasgow and Aberdeen Universities.
Only two Liberals have lost their seats through Con-
servative agency, and one of these by an informality
on the part of the sheriff. Only one, therefore, Mr.
WHITWORTH, at Drogheda, has been unseated on
account of electoral malpractices, The judges are
sterner men than M.P.'s. Their lordships will not
sanction the lame and impotent Conclusions which
hon. members used to arrive at. They would think
it monstrous to declare, as the Great Yarmouth
Election. Committee declared, that bribery had ex-
tensively prevailed, so extensively that the borough
had to be disfranchised, and yet suffer the bribers to
retain their seats. Moreover, the judges have
ideas of their own respecting intimidation,
ideas of a very different kind from those entertained
by members of the Legislature. As intimidation
was always a favourite weapon with the Conservative
party, we are likely to hear of a good many decisions
like that given by Mr. Justice WILLES at Westbury.
As it is, the list of unseated members is already for-
midably long, and there is still a week before Par-
liament meets, and a good many weeks afterwards,
in which to increase it.
As yet the majority of cases in which the mem-
bers have been unseated have been cases of bribery
or treating. There was bribery at Norwich and
Dublin, treating at Bewdley and Bradford, for
instance. Here there were two parties to each
offence—the party bribing or treating, and the
party bribed or treated. But while there were thus
two offences committed in each act; while there was
the unlawful purchase and the unlawful sale of a
vote, and so a doub!e wrong, neither act was in itself
so bad as intimidation, in which there is only one
offender. It is a sin to purchase a vote, but at least the
purchaser leaves to the other the free exercise of his
will. He buys what he ought not to buy, it is true;
but he does not rob. Intimidation is nothing less
than robbery. The person guilty of undue influence
goes up to a voter, if in England, and says to him, in
the spirit, if not in the language of the highwayman,
"Your vote or your livelihood. Vote for my man, or
I will turn you out of house and home, and turn you
off from your employment to starve in the streets."
If it is an Irish election, the offender says, "Vote
for my man or I will denounce you from the altar,
I will withhold the sacraments from you, I will
damn you to all eternity." It is nothing to the point
that he has no power to influence his victim's ever-
lasting fat the victim believes that he has, and
accordingly.yields e;

more strictly speaking, ono with his claim, and the other
with his patron. The economically disposod Government
solved tho difficulty by appointing both competitors, as joint
secretaries at the reduced rate of £l,OOO a year each. The
place of assistant-secretary has, it is true, been abolished,
but it was long ago condemned as an unnecessary expense,
with no duties attached to it but such as could be discharged
by either the secretary or the senior clerks. Is it really true
that these appointments have been made ?"

The Home Secretary, in receiving a deputation on
is subject the other day, made an important admis-
sion with respect to the deplorable want of system in
our metropolitan local government. He stated that
so great were the difficulties in the way from want of
organisation, that when he was preparing his education
scheme, he found himself obliged to leave London out
altogether, dealing with it separately later on. Mr.
BRUCE indeed was altogether surprised out of his
official reticence. He frankly acknowldeged to the
deputation which waited upon him that he thought
there had been already sufficient inquiry, and that the
time for action was come. Contrary to most mal-
contents, the gentlemen who waited upon him were
really prepared to deal practically with the grievance
of which they complained. They submitted a well-
considered scheme for amending our local govern-
ment by removing the power from the vestries, with-
out running the risk of that dangerous centralisation
to which Englishmen have so strong and so well-
founded an objection. This plan proposes to divide Lon_
don into a certain number of municipalities, theCoolrd-
poration of the City of London retaining its
position. Each of these municipalities is to have '
complete self-government in its own province, while
it has also been suggested that a general municipal
corporation might be formed for the whole of the
metropolis. The number of these municipalities has
been variously estimated from seven to nine, and
there is no reason to suppose that they would not
work industriously, intelligently, and efficiently. In
all our country towns and cities, like Liverpool, Man-
chester, and Birmingham, the municipal system works
excellently, and we should be amazed if we heard that
such places had determined to give up, or put
down, their mayor and his colleagues, and to substi-
tute our cumbrous and tormanageable vestries in their
place. No one objects to the Corporation of the City,
and there is no very plain or manifest reason why the
City should be goverLed differently from the rest of
London. Under the new arrangement there would
at least be a degree of unity and simplicity iu the
direction of affairs which at present we cannot lay
claim to, and we should be able to try '
the effect of bringing a higher order of intel-
ligence to bear upon our parochial questions. We
should get men of a different stamp to govern us
through municipalities from those who rate us in the

The first article in the Dublin University Magazine,
"Early Norman French Literature," contains a good deal
of varied information. It is a proof that conquerors
cannot force their language upon the conquered ; that the
language now spoken in France is-essentially the same as
was heard two thousand years ago, modified at a sub-
sequent period by additions from the Latin. " The Lays
of Marie de France " contain sone very curious sketches of
the loves and wars of ancient times. The chivalric romances
kept their ground for five centuries, thus enjoying a longer
life than any other class of literature in the country.
" My Own Sto" continues the well-told adventures of
Edith Aubrey. 'ryThe concluding passage of the race that was
run by the two ladies is described with great ani-
mation, and the unfortunate result to the heroine is not to
be wondered at. " The Wyverel Mystery" is the title of
a new tale which fulfils the promise of its name from the
outset but cannot be much recommended for anything I
else. t is well adapted to the taste of the lovers of
romance, and the adventures of the heroine are
most extraordinary. " The Theatre Royal, Dublin," pre-
sents some interesting accounts- of the theatrical doings of
the years 1841 to 1845. Many of those whose names are
here mentioned as great theatrical celebrities no
i longer adorn the stage ; but this recital of their triumphs
will prove attractive to many readers. " The
Railway Problem in Ireland and Belgium " is
the subject of the last paper, and it offers
some useful statistics to those who are studying the
subject. A comparison has been instituted between the
railways of Belgium and Ireland, but the cases
are not quite similar. The coal produce of Bel-
gium is 11,840,000 tons, that of Ireland 123,950 tons.
IThe iron produce of Belgium in 1865 was 1,018,231 tons ;
that of Ireland, in 1866, 25,525 tons. The advantages
which Belgium possesses in minerals have caused a large
passenger traffic and an immense traffic in goods.
In both countries there is a mile of railway
for about the same number of persons, 2,850. In
Belgium the third-class passengers are much more nume-
rous than in Ireland, and the amount of goods and mineral
traffic is six times as great: If the Belgian standard of
fares and rates were adopted in Ireland, the result would
be an immediate loss of 44 per cent. on the same amount
of passenger traffic, and of 46 per cent. on goods. The
Commissioners do not propose quite so large a reduction,
but are of opinion that any reduction of passenger fares in
Ireland to be beneficial must be on short and long traffic
equally. By the hdoption of the new system they be-
lieve that in twelve years there would be a balance in
favour of the exchequer.
Belgravia is more diversified than usual. Fiction, of
course, is largely represented, Miss Braddon finishes
" Charlotte's Inheritance," and her place will be taken
next month by Mrs. Hoey. Mr. Sala tells a story about
a prude, by way of witrning to young ladies in general, and
engaged ones in particular. Mr. Stigand descends from
the loftier work of quarterly reviewing to writing a read-
able paper about. Byron and the Countess Guiccioli. Mr.
Escott, having just completed a new edition of " Juvenal,"
gives a few pages about Intellectual Solace. Mr. Thorn-
bury continues his interesting • gossip about London
Theatres and London Actors. Mr. Joseph Hatton, known
well to Worcester news readers offers " Fragments of an
Old File" in the shape of historical extracts from Berrow's
Worcester Journal, which he now edits. Dr. Scoffern con-
tributes prose in the shape of a chapter on Suffolk Witches;
poetry in the shape of a translation of Anacreon's
fourth ode. Mr. Patterson discourses of "Sensationalism
in Science," a propos of " photospheres."
" Mr. Gladstone's Autobiography," by a clergyman of
the Church of England, in Macmillan's Magazine, can
hardly fail at this juncture to attract the reader's atten-
tion, and the Premier's warmest admirers may well be
satisfied with a writer who aims at reconciling the policy
of 1868 with the book of 1838, and defending the states.

The February number of St. Paul's contains some really
good articles, chief of which are " The New Cabinet, and
what it will do for us," and " The Administration of the
Army." The writer of the former—probably the editor of
the magazine, Mr. Anthony Trollope—after rejoicing on
the advent of the Liberals to power, speaks of the action likely
to be taken by the new Government on the Irish Church. He
thinks that after the Church has been disestablished the
revenues should be used for religious purposes and that
they should be divided among the three Churches known
in Ireland—the Roman Catholic, the Protestant Episcopal
Church, and the Presbyterian, according to the popula-
tion. This, it will be seen, is something cf the same
kind as Earl Russell has lately proposed, and
which has been condemned by Liberals and
Conservatives alike. The author of the article on
" The Administration of the Army " contends that the
chief defect in our military administration—the absence
of one supreme authority—is so serious and so far-reaching
in its consequences, that there canbe no difficulty in assert-
ing at once that a necessary condition to a sound and healthy
management of army affairs is to render the Commander-
in-Chief wholly subordinate to the Secretary of State, and
to make his position simply that of a military assistant to
the civil head of our army. To this end his office should
be under the same roof, and that staff with which he works
should be identical with that of the War Minister. The
Minister of State, as the paid servant of the country, ought to
be required and enabled to give his undivided attention, un-
distracted by professional matters and technical questions, to
the vigilant control over the appropriation of the large sums
voted for army service. " The Sermon Trade" connected
with the Church of England is severely condemned. The
writer comes to the conclusion that no man ought to be
permitted to preach publicly until be has given evidence
before his bishop of his competence to do so. But he con-
siders that the best and surest cure of all is, that extem-
pore or oral preaching should be cultivated and aimed
at, if not—as amongst the Wesleyan Methodists—
absolutely insisted upon. The other articles in the maga-
zine deal with " The Disposal and Control of our
Criminal Classes ;" an interesting reminiscence of " The
Last Lynx" in a former royal forest of Burgundy;
" Gibbon's Autobiographical Memoirs," and " Life
Studies." " A Song of Angiola on Earth " is made up of
pretty similes and happy expressions. The two
tales " The Sacristan's Household" and " Phineas
Finn" are continued. The latter seems to drag some-
what heavily, and does not possess that interest which the
opening chapters led the reader to expect.
Under the Crown, a new and deserving candidate for
public favour, has reached its second number. It adopts
the principle of short articles, and amid a great variety of
contributions contains much that is excellent. The verses
are generally good ; and " Linter den dunkeln Linden," in
particular, is very pretty. There is a serial story, " Little
France," which promises remarkably well; and some
short tales, of which " How I was Buried Alive,"
and " Left on Board "—the latter an exciting story
of a blockade-runner during the American war—
are remarkably interesting. " Not a Chance," by
Tom 800 1, is somewhat thin. Amongst the miscel-
laneous papers, Mr. F. T. Palgrave's "Fortnight in Por-
tugal in 1859" occupies a prominent place; but there is a
careful paper—the first of a series—on the Progress of
Landscape Painting, and an article on Pauperism con-
sidered from an historical point of view—a more than
usually good contribution to the literature of this subject.
Mr. Hooper gives an interesting account of the great
Egyptian Fair at Tant4l, and there is a short paper on
the Reform of the Musical Pitch in England, some brief
notes under the head of " Miscellanea," and Notices of
Books. The staff of the new magazine is evidently very
strong. A magazine commanding such a great variety of
good writing ought to speedily attain a high position.

intimidator leave the voter the small consolation of
feeling that if he has not got the free use of his vote
he has at least sothething in exchange for it ; that if
_ _

his conscience has been violated his pocket has been
filled. There are really no words too strong to con-

demn the man guilty of undue influence, whether he
be a Roman priest at Drogheda or a-Wiltshire mann-

facturer at Westbury.
We commented upon the first case at the time. The
second, which has just been settled, is as bad as
bad can be. Westbury is a borough for the most
part under the control of one or two resident land-
owners. Chief of them is Sir MASSEY LOPES, who
represented the place in the last and some pre-
ceding Parliaments, but who abandoned his safe seat
in his pocket borough in order to fight the battle of
his party in South Devon. Westbury is one
of those small decaying Wiltshire towns
in which the manufacture of woollen cloths,
once confined to the West of England, is still
carried on after a feeble fashion. The town contains
two manufacturers—one of them, Mr. LAVERTON, the '
Liberal candidate at the last election ; the other,
Mr. HAnnop, whose conduct has led to the unseating
of the Conservative candidate, Mr. PHIPPS. Mr.
HARROP was not only a political opponent of Mr. 1
LAVERTON'S, but a rival in business, and feeling for
his competitor all that petty but bitter jealousy which
is to be found in small country towns, and would
astonish centres of industry like Bradford or Leeds.
From the first Mr. LAVERTON'S candidature was a very
sore matter with Mr. llAnn OP. He early called upon his
workmen to say which way they intended to vote.
They, in order to prevent unpleasantness, fenced
with their employer's most improper question by
saying that they did not intend to vote at all. It

was argued by the counsel for the sitting member
that this was a promise, and that Mr. llannor

would not have minded if the men had

kept their word; that, in fact, their offence—the
