TURKEY AND GREECE.

The two States, which so nearly came to blows at the
beginning of the year, are now apparently on the best of
terms. A second child has recently been born to the
King and Queen of Greece, and amongst the congratula•
tions received from foreign parts the earliest and most
courteous was one from Abdul-Aziz—the Sultan.

THE CHURCH AFTER DISESTABLIMMENT.

A requisition is now in course of signature asking
the Irish Archbishops to convene a Church Con-
ference again. The Dublin Mai! lays clown a pro-
gramme for their assemblage. As the function
of the Conference is in keeping with the distinct
promise at its election ceases with the passing
of the bill, it cannot meet to form a
Church body, or to determine in any way upon a
constitution for the Church. But a beginning must
be made somehow, and as the object must be to frame
a constitution in accordance with the feelings, and so
as to represent duly the interests, of all Churchmen,
the Conference may make preparations for the elec-
tion of a new body, out of which the framers of
that constitution may ultimately be chosen. It
will be seen that in this new body the laity should
be much more fully represented. The laity will now be
called upon to bear responsibilities such as they have
not known before. The Mail believes that the con-
vening of the Conference would create an instant
enthusiasm amongst the Protestant people which
would remove many difficulties.

LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 27, 18G9.

A few days longer, and Parliament will be pro-
rogued. There is, consequently, a cr.un of work
, to be got through somehow during the final sittings
of the Legislature. Orders of the Day, Questions to
the Occupants of the Treasury Bench, aril Notices
of Motion are consequently thronged together in the
most alarming manner upon the Order Book of the
'louse of Commons. The difficulty is to avoi,l the slur-
ring over something of particular importance, the
shehingor cushioning of which, though inadvertently,
might be matter of regret long after war Is, and yet
the risk of bluudering into which undesigned postpone
ponement becomes very imminent in th midst of a
scramble so dense and confused, and in simple truth,
it must be added, so really unavoidab'e, of its kind,
under the circumstances. That Parliamont is still

presentatives, was vividly enough illustrate) only last

CHARITY OR TIATNICRYISM.

The great scandal of the annual Dramatic College
Fête at the Crystal Palace was removed this
year. The fancy fair, with its stupid buf-
foonery, was not held, and everyone must
feel satisfaction. But the Star denounces
another evil in connection with the fête
no less strongly than it did the unseemliness
of former exhibitions. There was first acting—which
was good ; there was then tumbling—of which evil
should by no means be spoken; after that performance
the Prince and Princess allowed all, who would pay
two guineas and upwards, to approach within six feet
of their Royal Highnesses, and bestowed upon each a
smile and a bow. This latter use of royalty the
Star is much disgusted with. The spectacle, it says,
was absurd from beginning to end. Two pound two
for a good long stare at the Prince and the Princess!
How many are there who would not mind double the
money ?

THE MORDAUNT DIVORCE CASE,

This morning in chambers, before Lord Penzance,
the Judge Ordinary, an application was made in
the matter of the suit of Mordaunt v. Mordaunt,
Johnstone, and Cole.

After some argument it was agreed, on the sug-
gestion of the learned judge, that as the affidavits
of the doctors and others had been taken,
and no cross-examination arose on them,
that these witnesses must be heard before a
jury, that an issue should be directed, in which Sir
Thomas Moncrieffe, the father of the lady, should
plead her insanity, as her next Mend, and that, in
the meantime, she should be in charge of those per-
sons who might be appointed by her husband, he
having the right to the custody of her if she was, as
assumed, insane, with accees by the father, as might
be mutually arranged by the counsel on both sides,
and so it was finally settled.

THE SCOTCH MARRIAGE LAW.

The want of equity in the general operation of the
marriage law of Scotland is constantly receiving illus-
tration, as if to keep the subject continually alive.
Another example is provided at the Northumberland
Assizes. A man charged with bigamy is proved to
have married a first wife in Scotland, according to
what a clergyman of the Scotch Church declares to
be the national ceremony. Ile is also shewn to
have married another woman subsequently. But
the judge will not—cannot legally—take the evi-
dence of a clergyman. He must have a Scotch lawyer
to give the law to him. No such lawyer being present,
the jury have nothing for it but to record a ver-
dict of not guilty.
TIIE TUNNEL UNDER TIIE STRAITS OF DOVER.

The tunnel under the Straits of Dover which has
been so long discussed appears to be given up. It is
stated that the engineers of France and of England
have just now pronounced definitely against the
scheme. They all agree, indeed, that the tunnel
is quite feasible ; but then they add that the cost
of it would be £10,000,000; which puts it quite
out of the question, unless the Governments of
France and of England should, in the interest of
international amity, think it right to proceed with
the works regardless of expense. To pay, such a
tunnel would require 20,000 passengers a day at ss.
apiece. I obody looks forward to such a large
traffic between the two countries.

TIM SEWAGE FARM.

The Lodge Farm at Barking continues to receive a
portion of the London sewage, which is pumped up
by a small steam-engine and distributed over the farm
by the ordinary means of irrigation. The produce this
year will be 70 tons of grass per acre, and as the
crass sells for 18s. Per ton on the spot where it is
cut, the result looks profitable. Between the incon-
venience which arises from throwing the sewage into
the Thames and the obvious advantages which result
from carrying it over the land, it would seem that
no time should be lost in changing from the
wasteful system to the profitable. Even during this
hot weather no bad smell or inconvenience arises
from the sewage water, and after it has passed over
the land it flows off in a pure state, in which fish will
thrive.

INSPECTION OF Ml\ ES

Mr. BRUCE said it was impossible that he could at that
period of the session give a promise tint all collieries
would be at once examined to prevent further accidents.
He would do all that was possible, and nothing the Go-
vernment could do would be neglected to prevent such
fearful calamities:
BILLS BEFORE THE HOUSE.

Col. FRENCH asked whether, es th, Irish Church Bill
was now disposed of, any information cou'd be given with
respect to the bills to be thrown over for the present ses-
sion.

Mr. BRUCE said he regretted he could not give the hon.
and gallant member any information on that point in the
absence of his right hon. friend the First Lord of the Trea-
sury.

TDB INDIAN BUDGET.

'the Duke of Argyll's financial statement is noticed
by the papers with an expression of moderate satisfac-
tion. The Indian revenue grows admirably. In the
ten years between 1857 and 1867 the total has risen
from 33 to 48 millions, one half of this very largo
increase being due to more taxation, and the
other half to fair expansion of returns. This is
highly satisfactory, but it is only one side of the ledger.
The expenditure, too, goes up at an alarming► rate; in
fact, notwithstanding the increased income, it is a
matter of great difficulty to make ends meet. The
army requires not less than 16 millions for its sup-
port. Public works cost five times what they did in
1857. The police expenses have doubled. Nor does
it appear that there is any prospect of retrenchment,
for both the Duke and Lord Lawrence urge that
none of the items can safely be diminished. Canals,
railways, and barrac'.:s must go on, and the army
must be kept up. But the comparison between the
debtor and the creditor side is, nevertheless, not .so
bad as it looks. Much of the money is spent upon
public works which are absolutely necessary
to develops the resources of the country; for it is
laid down as a maxim that no money shall be raised
by loan for public works unless they be self-
supporting, if not remunerative, such as irrigation
works.
One of the greatest changes projected in Indian
administration concerns the construction of railways.
Henceforth the Government will take this great task
upon itself. It is proposed during the next
ten years to make 7,000 additional miles of railway,
at a cost which cannot be under 84 millions. Even
this is far from sufficient. India is a country of such
vast extent that a thousand miles of rail are but as a
branch line in England. The Times City editor
thinks that the money for this purpose will not be
got very readily. The City of London is getting
tired of Indian loans, and it is probable that 5 per
cent. will be the lowest rate at which these many
millions will be raised.

THE DUDLEY POISONING CASE.

Great interest continues to be manifested in the
Dudley district in the case of Fanny Oliver, the
unhappy woman who now lies under sentence of
death at Worcest,r. Monday, the 9th August
next, is the day fixed for the execution of the
wretchel woman, and to all appearance the sen-
tence is likely to be carried out, but no communi-
cation from the Home-office has been received by
the prison authorities.

THE DUDLEy POISONING CASE

The condemned woman, Fanny Oliver, has written a
letter to her father, rootl.er, and brother, dated " The
' m% ester Prison, July 24," in which she says :—"Though
I am condemned to die, I fear it not, for God knows that.
lam innocent, and he will raise my soul in heaven. Deal
mother, do not fret for me, for I was only lent to you, and
now my Heavenly Father wants me
hope that we shall meet in heaven, where no trouble
comes. Dear mother, they are all so kind to
me, and God is with me. Oh I love Him more and
more, for I love Him more than you all in heart. May

I
God bless you all, and pray to God to help you. Though
I shall never see your dear face again, dear mother, in this
world, but I hope I shall in heaven, for I am going to die
for that, dear mother, lam innocent of. Yes, dear parents,
lam innocent. God knows I am, and I wish someone
would take it up, and hear what I have got to
say. Then they would know that I was innocent.
My trial is an unjust one. My dear father and
sister has written to the Governor, and she will come
with you, and I should like to see my dear brother, and
tell him about his Heavenly Father Oh !
may the Lord be with you all, dear mother. I have
plenty of nice food and they are all so kind to me
and the Lord. Come on Monday, if you can, my dear
friends, pray for your innocent child. My dear brother be
strong, and pray to God to make you so, and a child of
God, for your poor sister's sake. We may never meet
again in this world, but I hope we shall in heaven.
Good-bye, my dear brother, and my dear father. Good-
bye, dear mother—good-bye. I wish I could see your dear
face once. Good-bye, my dear mother, for ever !—From
your poor innocent child, FANNY OLIYER• Come to see
me."

As yet no intimation bas been received at Worcester
Prison that the sentence of death will be commuted. The
verdict of the jury was accompanied by a recommenda-
tion of the culprit to mercy ; but it was based upon no
part of the evidence, so far as has been yet stated.
Acting in the customary formal manner in these
cases, Mr. Baron Pigott said he would forward the
recommendation of the jury to the proper quarter; but,
at the same time, "he could hold out no hope " to the
prisoner. At present, therefore, it seems likely that
the most severe penalty which the law can put in force
will be carried out. If there is no commutation of the
sentence, Oliver will be executed within the precincts of
the gaol, in accordance with the requirements of the new
law which is now in operation. There is some talk
of a petition being got up in favour of the prisoner. Since
her conviction the convict has been attentive to the earnest
endeavours of the prison chaplain (the Rev. Mr. Adling-
ton) to bring her to a sense of her awful position. She
attends chapel regularly, ana
,appears prepared for the
worst, should the worst arrive.

BUSINESS 01 THE HOUSE.

Mr. BRUCE, on behalf of the First Lord of the Trea-
sury, appealed to hon. members to postpone bringing
forward their motions on going into Committee
of Supply. It was absolutely necessary to
finish the votes in supply, in order that the
session might terminate about the usual time. Ile had to
ask that the house might be allowed at once to go into
Committee of Supply until eloven o'clock, at which hour
it was proposed to further proceed with the Telegraphs
Bill.

Mr. DISRAELI said it was, of course, desirable that
public business should not be impeded, but he did not
think it was fair to make such an apreal to hon. mem-
bers generally. He felt that gentlemen on both sides of
the house would exercise their privilege with discretion.

AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS.

The Magnet, in its review of the corn trade, says :
"Although a few warm showers would doubtless have
been beneficial to the country in general, more favour-
able weather for hastening on our very backward har-
vest than has prevailed during the past week could
hardly have been desired. The rapid strides to maturity
which the growing crops have made have been regarded
,with universal satisfaction, and have assisted in dis-
pelling, or at all events allevtating,,thoseVloomy rumours
which but recently were productive of such, general
consternation. As regards the wheat plant, the flowering
period has been passed through satisfactorily, and notwith-
standing that the harvest will fall a month later than
last year, and the yield cannot prove anything like so
abundant, in consequence of the vicissitudes through
which the plant has passed, it is expected that the crop
will prove much more remunerative than has been lat-
terly anticipated. At the same time it is agreed on all
sides that it will be very variable, and, taken as a whole,
will turn out to be somewhat under the average. Barley
and oats, which did not suffer to the same extent as wheat,
through the superabundance uf moisture, are now stated
to be rather pining for want of rain. Generally speaking,
however, the accounts from the agricultural districts
respecting spring-sown corn are favourable, and a good
yield is confidently looked for. The extreme beat and
scorching sun have, in a great measure, dried up the pas-
tures, and the prospects of a second crop of hay are much
restricted. The development of root crops at the same
time is being retarded frcm want of moisture."
The wheat trade was heavy on Monday at a decline in
some insta•wes of from ls. to 2s. per quarter.
London, England, 1869-07-27

IRELAND.

The news from Ireland is still stirring. On Sunday
evening an attempt was made to kill the clerk of the
North Chapel at Cork. John Keating entered the chapel,
and, drawing a large knife, went up to where the clerk was
standing, and made a desperate stab at him. The clerk
avoided the blow, and the knife penetrated the door a
couple of inches. Keating was instantlysecured. Four police-
men on duty in Shandon street on Sunday night attempted
to arrest a man named Morrissy, who was disorderly.
Morrissy called on the mob for assistance, and made a des-
perate resistance. The crowd threw stones, and struck the
policemen. A reinforcement of police arrived, and, aided
by some citizens, kept back the mob, but were struck
several times. After an hour's struggle Morrissy was got
to Bridewell. He was recently in custody for murdering
his father, the charge not being proved. A large block
of offices, the property of George Gould, of Lisearrock,
county Cork, have been malici( usly burnt, and with them
a large quantity of flax and other property stored there.
The cause is a dispute about the ownership of a bog.
Gould, who exerted himself to prevent trespass on it,
became obnoxious.

Eight men have been brought up before the magistrates
at Kells Sessions charged with being implicated in the late
attempt to assassinate Mr. Gargan, the steward of Mr,
Farrell, of Moynalty. They were escorted by a large
body of police, amid expressions of sympathy from the
crowds in the streets. The chief witness against
them is an informer named Magill, who was hooted and
pelted with stones by the mob. One of the stones intended
for him struck a constable in the eye and wounded him
severely. So threatening was the aspect of the mob that
the Roman Catholic priests bad to use their influence to
prevent bloodshed. The investigation was private, but
resulted in the prisoners being admitted to bail, to attend
that day week for further examination. An investigation
was also held respecting a charge against a man, named
Murray, for firing at Mr. Rotherham some months ago.
Magill was also an approver in this case. A correspon-
dent of the ExTress states that when the inquiry termi-
nated he bad to be got out of court by a back door, to
avoid encountering the fury of the mob. As he was
getting into a car a stone which was aimed at him struck a
policeman. The driver of the car was unwilling to take
him until the police interfered.
A telegram from Belfast, on Monday, says:—" This
evening a magisterial investigation into the cause of the
riots at Lurgan on the 13th inst. was adjourned till
Thursday. About seven prisoners arc now in custody. At
the Londonderry Assizes a true bill was found against ten
policemen for firing at the mob in that city on the nightof
Prince Arthur's visit."

TIM ATHANASIAN CREED.

""V. J. I." (the initials are those of the Rev. Dr.
Irons, of Brompton), writes to the Post on the
Athanasian Creed, protesting against any alteration
in the law concerning it. Such an alteration, he
says, would separate the English Church from the
whole of European Christendom. The three creeds
have been the foundation of unity between the
Churches up till now; it would be an error not to
say crime to disturb this unity. The creed
he also regards as a protection from Arianism.
In America, where itis unused, there is a growth of
false doctrine, and the English Church should keep
up the bulwarks against such inroads. With regard to
the Eastern Churches, which we should have thought
were not united with the Western in this matter,
"W. J. I." tells us we are mistaken. "The Greeks
mean the same truth here as the West, but express
that truth with other metaphysics than ours,
and with less success, as all the Oriental history
shews ; but it is wrong to insinuate that we con-
demn any, for intellectual forms outwardly
different from ours, so long as they do not reject
the Truth itself. To ' hold' a truth is far from being
the same as intellectually receiving it or ' under-
standing' it. How many ' hold' their Bible to be
true throughout without understanding one half
of it. . . . If it be true," the correspondent continues,
"that ' he that believeth not shall be damned,' as our
Lord himself said in His last warning words upon earth;
if it be true that they who obey not the truth 'shall
be ' punished with everlasting destruction from the
presence of the Lord,' as St. Paul says ; if it be true
that ' they that have done evil shall go into everlast-
ing fire,: or as the parable says, these shall go into
everlasting punishment,' who are we that we should
dare to ' bracket' this truth, and call our faithlessness
4 charity' ?"

THE WAR IN PARAGUAY.

The little news there is from the seat of war in the La
Plata region shews that the Allies have gained somegrouncl,
but that the difficulties they encounter are too great for
them to attempt an immediate attack upon the Para-
guayan position. All parties seem tired of the war. The
Anglo. Brazilian Times says it is haidly possible to doubt
that the bloody struggle will continue for a very long time
if the stipulation of the Triple Alliance Treaty with regard
to the expulsion of Lopez as the sine Dui non of peace be
adhered to. " The tenacity with which the Paraguayans
cling to and rally round him, however defeated, proves
that in the Paraguayan mind he is firmly associated with
their national cause as understood by them, and that the
Provisional Government will remain a farce, and must be
upheld by the allied bayonets."

THE LAND QUESTION.

Now that the Irish Church controversy is effec-
tually disposed of, the still more intricate question of
land tenure crops up. The Ministry are pledged to
bring in an Irish bill of tenant-right and
land tenure next year. The present Cabinet
will " stand or fall" by the measure they
intend to introduce, and another strain may
possibly be witnessed between the two Houses of
Parliament. The speech of Sir Roundell Palmer on
Friday afternoon is taken as indicative of his return
to the fold of the Liberal party, and his valuable
assistance will undoubtedly be given to the Ministry
in their attempt to grapple with the second great
Irish point of dispute. A. creation of peers during
the recess is still talked of.

ItOUNDELL PALMED. AND TIIE PATENT LAWS.

Sir Roundell Palmer has not yet, it would seem,
convine-_•il any very considerable class that the Patent
Laws on ;ht to be abolished. A meeting of working
men, over which he himself presided, decided against
him on Saturday. Ile was chairman of a conference
held in Aldersgate-s'seet, London, which was calleJ
to consider the subject, and notwithstcndlng the
arguments which he put so enticingly before the
meeting, notwithstanding that he was supported by
Mr. Macfle, the member for Leith, a resolution was
carried to the effect that " protection is absolutely
necessary as a right, by which inventors may be
secured a true lqgitimate right in their inventions."
Sir Roundell, in a short address, gave his reasons
for his opinion that the Patent Laws did more
harm than good. Ile deprecated very earnestly the
neglect of steady industry by the hope of some
windfall in the shape of a lucky invention. It was
doubtful, he said, whether there were many of the
working classes who ever drew prizes in this lottery,
and in most cases even the most useful inven-
tions fell into the hands of employers or capi-
talists, or became, from the absence of a patent,
common property. The legitimate reward of poor
inventors would probably, in the event of the aboli-
tion of the Patent Laws, fall to them much in the
same way as it did now. A patent, moreover, was a
monopoly which limited and taxed all searchers in
the same direction. Mr. Macfie, M.P., added a
national argument. " The foreign manufacturer,
who paid no royalties, could compete in
the British market with the English manufac-
turer who, under the Patent Laws, had to pay
heavy royalties:' The meeting, however, was not
convinced, and ultimately passed a resolution in
favour of cheapening the means of obtaining patents.
It was also determined to form a society, to be called
the National Mechanical Inventors' and Designers'
Co-operative Institution, to assist inventors and to
buy up inventions of poor men, so that they might
obtain rewards for their labour.

THEATRICAL.

Mr. Buckstone, speaking at the dinner of the royal
Theatrical Fund, on Thursday, spoke very earnestly
against the narrow views taken of the theatrical art
ever since " the gloomy days of Cromwell." Ile
assured that portion of his audience who was not
composed of actors that those who lived by the
stage thought themselves respectable membeis of
society, notwithstanding the recent letter of the
Lord Chamberlain on the skirts of the dancing
ladies. En passant, he gave his opinion that the
said letter was useless, there being no nth for
guidance as to the length of the ballet dresses: and
therefore no uniformity. Ile went on to solemnly
defend the theatrical profession against one aspersion.
A meeting was recently held at Exeter llall to oppose
the opening of museums, &c., on a Sunday.

"An eminent lawyer and member of ParliLment
thought proper to assert that to allow the opening of
museums and galleries on that day would lead to the
opening of theatres. Now, I am sure, as regards the
Haymarket, there is not one member that establish.
ment who would consent to act on a Sunday ; and I am
certain I may declare, in the name of every performer of
both sexes in England, that none would be found to do so.
Hundreds of them—and it is not too well known to the
fanatics—frequent places of worship on Sunday ; and all
of them enjoy the day of rest too well to have it inter-
rupted by attending to their professional duties. For my
Own part, I know that on a Saturday night, after a lr,trd
week's work and many anxieties, I have frequently
exclaimed, "fhank God, to.morroW's Sunday."'

NORTH GERMANY.

The smaller fry constituting the North German Con-
federation are getting into terrible financial difficulties.
The taxes imposed since 1866 have become overwhelming,
and yet deficits accumulate. By the terms of
confederation it was agreed that Prussia should
maintain all the soldiers, of the Union, and that each
State should pay 225 thalers per man for the support of
its contingent. A convention, however, was signed in
1866, by which the sum was reduced to one-half until the
year 1873, from which time the full 225 thalers will have
to be paid. This increase will intensify the financial
troubles of the smaller States, some of which will, it is
expected, become utterly bankrupt.

MAZZINT.
Letters from Florence represent Mazzini to be in a very
deplorable state of health. The frequent vomitings and
the want of sleep, which proved so dangerous some
time ago, have been renewed. There is too much
reason to fear that these attacks are but the earlier
symptoms of that incurable malady— cancer in the
stomach. For a long time the Republican leader has
taken only the most simple and digestible nourishment,
but the good effects of a careful diet are counteracted by
the excessive use of tobacco. Mazzini smokes thirty or
forty cigars a day. " Strong-willed as is this man," says
the Ll,berte," he struggles in va'n against this passion,
which endangers his life."

THE UNDER-SECRETARY FOB IRELAND.

A good deal of speculation exists as to who will
succeed Sir Edward Wetherall. Mr. Maguire is
thought to be the most likely man. He certainly
hasclaims upon the Government which it is surprising
have not been recognised already. It was through
bun primarily that Mr. Gladstone regained office;
it was through his advice to the mad Mayor• that
the Government was extricated from an
awkward predicament. Sir John Gray also
is mentioned, but he is supposed by many persons
to be too much the mouthpiece of Cardinal Cullen
to be suitable for this very important post. Should
either of these gentlemen be chosen, a vacancy in
the House of Commons will be caused. The Conser-
vative papers say, " It is rumoured that a Mr. Burke,
intimately connected with Cardinal Cullen, is to
succeed Colonel Wetberall at the Castle, Dublin."
They would like the appointment well, because it
would give them such a famous opportunity of
indulging in the rhetoric of indignation.

become " familiar in our mouths as household words,"

THE REST REMEDY FOR INDIGESTION.

NORTON'S CAMOMILE PILLS are confi-
dently recommended as a simple bit certain
Remedy for Indigestion, which is the cause of nearly all
the diseases to which we are subject, being a medicine so
uniformly grateful and beneficial that it is with justice
talled the " Natural Strengthener of the Human Stomach.'
" Norton's Pills" act as a powerful tonic and gentle ape-
rient ; are mild in their operation, safe under any cir-
iumstances, and thousands of persons can now boar testi-
mony to the benefits to be derived from their use, as they
have been a never-failing Family Friend for upwards of
20 years.

Norton's Camomile Pills."

THE ITALIAN MINISTRY.

General Menabrea's Cabinet has been reconstituted,
and the result has been in some measure a triumph for
the Piedmontese. These deputies, who have held aloof
from the party in power since the seat of government was
transferred from Turin to Florence, although their poll.
tical principles were well-nigh the same, agreed to join
Menabrea's supporters provided the Ministry of the Interior
and at least another seat in the Cabinet were given up to
them. The Tuscans were very reluctant to part with the
portfolio of the. Interior. They hinted plainly that Signov
Ferraris, the Piedmontese deputy who aspired to the
post, was not of " sufficiently high position." But the
Piedmontese have held out, and the Tuscans have given
in. Ferraris has become Minister of the Interior. Signor
Mordani, too, who was deemed objectionable on account
of his Garibaldian antecedents, Las been let in as Minister
of Public Works.

STAFFORD ELECTION.

Two Liberals have already offered themselves to
the electors of Stafford in the place of Mr. Pochin,
(L.), and Colonel Meller, (C.), unseated for bribery.
They are Mr. Odger, the working-man's candidate
for Chelsea, who withdrew in order not to divide
the Liberal interest, and Mr. Evans, who has repro.
tented South Derbyshire, but was defeated after a
very severe contest by the late Sir Thomas Gresley,
who did not live to take his seat. Mr. B. Whitworth,
recently unseated at Drogheda, is also spoken of. At
Stafford thelast election gave the following result: Mr.
Pochin (L.), 1,189; Colonel Meller (C.), 1,124; Mr.
Chawner (L.), 1,107. It will be seen that the
running was very close, and it is quite impossible to
guess the result of another contest. In Mr. Pochin
women have lost one of the warmest supporters of
their political " rights."
