THE ELECTION COMMISSIONS.

The more startling revelations made by the instru-
mentality of the Election Commissioners would appear
to have exhausted the sensational part of their duties.
Their proceedings on Tuesday were comparatively
uninteresting. At Norwich Mr. J. 11. Tillett,
the Radical candidate at the last election,
declared himself free from personal bribery,
and added that he had no knowledge of any illegal
practices on his behalf. At Bridgwater Mr. Padwick
also protested his innocence. The only suspicious cir-
cumstance which he confessed about his candidature
in 1859 was the handing over during its early days of
£l,OOO, to be used to pay outstanding debts, so
that the party might be kept tog,ether. How
the money was used is not clear ; but
the matter undoubtedly demands inquiry. The
Liberals, Mr. Padwick declares, began to bribe on the
polling day, and he loft the town in disgust. Before
he commenced to canvas on the Conservative side ho
was assured in Mr. Spofforth's presence that the
election would be a pure one.
The candidates in Ireland would appear to have
been more directly implicated than in the corrupt
boroughs of England. Bribery itself does seem to be
considered disgraceful by most of those who have
confessed to allowing it in this country, and they have
tried to shield themselves from it by casuistry
founded on multiplicity of agency, and the indirect-
ness of their connection with it. But at Cashel the
witnesses say point blank that they received bribes
and promises from the different candidates. Even
there, however, some little shifting and dodging was
accomplished : the sons of voters had the money pro-
mised them instead of the voters themselves.
In case of inquiry, the bribers hoped to say they
had not given money to electors.

SIR THOMAS BAZLEY ON PUBLIC AFFAIRS,

The senior member for Manchester addressed a
large meeting of the National Reform Union on
Tuesday night. After being warmly congratulated
on the honour recently conferred upon him, the hon.
baronet went on to speak on some of the leading topics
of the day. Prominence was given to the Irish land
question, and this part of his speech derives a
special interest from the fact that he has recently
visited Ireland with the view of preparing himself
for the great battle which is to be fought next
session. In reply to his inquiries as to what was
requisite to give peace and satisfaction to Ireland, he
was almost universally told that it was indispensable
that there should be a tenant-right established by the
law of the land. Seeing that the Ulster custom had
worked, upon the whole, satisfactorily, the inhabitants
wished to have the Earue principle adopted in the
other three provinces.

THE OUTBREAK IN SPAIN.

The Spanish journals of the 10th instant announce that
the English and French Governments intend to send ships
of war to Spain in order to protect their national
interests. These vessels are expected at Barce-
lona, Cartha;ona, and Madrid. The ',,,,ir;ents of
Valencia were still in possession of the town on the
11th, and the commander of the troops was waiting for
the reinforcements from Catalonia before he attacked
them. The revolutionists are not in possession of any other
town ofsensequence throughout the Peninsula. The Govern-
ment has informed the Cortes that seventeen deputies have
joined the insurrection and taken up arms. The Chamber
was- painfully struck by the intimation, and a commis-
sion was at once appointed to propose measures
to be taken against these deputies. The Regent, Marshal
Serrano, has published a decree, in which he says that,
owing to the anomalous state of affairs, he suspends all
elections to the Cortes until such period arrives as will
admit of the free exercise of the suffrage. The military
governor of Gerona has telegraphed that the insurgents
have quitted the town, abandoning their artillery and
their munitions.

AUSTRIA.

The Eastern Budget says that, according to present
arrangements, the Emperor of Austria will leave Pesth on
the 24th or 25th. He will proceed by rail to Basiasch, and
thence by steamer to Rustschuk anl Varna, whore the
Austrian squadron will be waiting to receive him. He will
then embark, with Vice-Admiral Tegethoff, on board the
yacht Greif, and Count von Beust, with Count Andrassy,
Herr von Plencr, and Herr von Holmann, on board the
steamer Kai;erin Elizabeth. The Emperor and his suite
will return on the 2Jth•cf November. It is not yet settled
who is to act for him during his absence, but it is probable
that, as on former occasions, his cider brother, the Arch-
duke Charles Louis, will be appointed to this duty. In
another telegram from Vienna, in the same paper, it is
stated that there is no truth in the rumours of a Ministerial
crisis in the Austrian Cabinet, and that no change what-
ever is contemplated in the internal policy of the Govern-
ment.

FOREIGN NOTES.

TIER ARCTIC RESEARCH.

D. Hall, the Arctic explorer, says that the result of his
:.:tedge journey to King William's Land may be summed
up in the fact that none of Sir John Franklin's companions
ever reached Montreal Island. The same year that
the Erebus and Terror were abandoned one of them
consummated the Great North-West Passage, having five
men aboard. This vessel was found by the Ook-joo-lik
natives near O'Reilly Island, it being frozen up in the midst
of a smooth and unbroken floe of ice, of only one
winter's formation. In order, to complete the history of
Sir John Franklin's last expedition, it will be necessary to
spend a summer in King William's Land, for little or
nothing can be done while that land is clothed in its winter
garb. All over the Arctic regions the natives possess relics
of the ill-fated expedition. The result of Dr. Hall's
taking with him in his sledge journey to King William's
Land, seamen that Reither he nor their captains knew
much about was most unfortunate, and ho narrowly
escaped the fate of Henry Hudson. He adds that this
report is but a slight instalment towards giving a full idea
of the interesting infoimation he has gained from the
natives, relative to the fate of Sir J. Franklin's expedition

THE NEW THAMES TUNNEL.

The new Thames Tunnel has progressed with such
wonderful quickness that it is expected to be opened
about the middle or end of next month. Through
1,280 feet out of the 1,300 the bare has already been
made, and the shafts at each end have been sunk.
There are various peculiarities about the new tunnel.
One of the most striking is the clearness with which
noises overhead are heard. The passage of a steamer is
heard with a noise so loud and vibrating in the at
present confined air of the tunnel that it is only the
knowledge of the unalterable and almost immovable
strength of the structure in which he stands that
gives the hearer confidence. Not only can every ves-
sel be heard passing—we speak, of course, of steamers
large or small—but even such slight noises at
hammering on the ships in the Pool above can be
distinguished, not only by the sound but even by the
slight though perceptible vibration of the air. Yet,
the whole tunnel is not only water-tight, but air-tight
The shafts are fitted up with lifts, by which those
who wish to pass through the tunnel will be conveyed
down to. it. An omnibus will run from end tc
end, and the lift will restore the passenger to the
street.

THE DECEASE OF THE 44 MORNING STAB."
The Morning Star—the first penny daily paper
published in London—came yesterday to the end. of
Its life. It was first published fourteen years ago,
It was dreaded by the Liberals of the time, and
hated by the Conservatives on account of its extreme
opinions. It had, moreover, to meet at first starting
the prejudice against cheap newspapers. Since
then, however, penny journalism has been universally
recognised ; and the creed of Liberalism—as the Star
justly says in its last address to its readers—now
consists of those principles which, fourteen years ago
our deceased contemporary assisted to spread.
But, nevertheless, the
.prejudice against it never
wholly died out; and circumstances seem to have
been against it continually. When the Daily .News
became a penny paper the Star received its death
blow. The two " advanced Liberal " journals will
now become one ; for it is announced that the interests
of the Stor have been transferred to the proprietors
of its younger and more successful rival.

ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-

IMPROVEMENT IN STEEL PENS.—Messrs. Mao-
niven and Cameron certainly deserve the thanks and
patronage of the pablic for their very superior steel plus.
They far exceed in excellence any that have hitherto
been in general use, and doubtless in a short time the
Waverley, Owl, or Pickwick pen will become universal.
They are beautifully finished, and so highly tempered that
they possess all the flexibility of the goose quill, and the
hand glides over the paper with them with a rapi.lity
and clearness that must create both wonder and delight.
This is occasioned by peculiarity in the manufacture
of the pens, which also obviates the disagreeable sticking
and spluttering which has hitherto been one of the grektest
objections to the use of the steel pen. With the Waverley
pen writing becomes a pleasure, and as each of the three
sorts are to be had of any stationer at the price ordinarily
charged for common steel pens, the use of the Waverley,
Owl, or Pickwick Pen, will, no doubt, become almost
universal.

On the 21st ultimo the annual cricket match
between tho English hotel keepers of New York and
Brooklyn took place at Hoboken, and proved to be an
interesting contest. Of course both parties were short-
handed, and had to c:,11 upon some cricketers and ball-
players for substitute; and as Brooklyn was best favoured
in this respect they wou the game, Sadler being of great
assistance to them. Tho score stood—Brooklyn, 80 ; YeNV
York, 25.

THE RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR NOTTLNGHAM.

The summary manner in which the collision at
Long Eaton Junction was disposed of Et the inquest
has given rise to some complaints. It is thought by
many that the jury did not devote sufficient atten-
tion to the departure of the trains and the arrankc"-
ments in general at the Nottingham station. It
appears that the mail train left—according to the
testimony of the driver—twenty minutes after the
departure of the special train. Upon reaching
Beeston (four miles from Nottingham) the special had
passed that station only two minutes before the mail
train came up. The driver further stated that he
waited at Beeston station three minutes, and then at
a speed of sixteen or eighteen miles an hour ran into
the Leicester special. The interval between the
departure of a heavily freighted excursion train and a
fast mail, with a luggage train, too, ahead o
both, does appear small. Excursion trains break
down so often that considerable allowance should be
made for the chapter of accidents.

THE cnAmr.Eu. Or• 11011P.OES.

The Times is evidently bewildered at the catas-
trophes and crimes which it has been its duty to lay
before the public. With the events of the last
eighteen days it knows not how to deal. In a vague
sort of way it suggests that homicidal negligence
ought to be frowned down by society as well as
homicidal anger :
Any death by violence should be looked on as importing
primd facie a crime, and one which deserves punishment.
The old rule of law which held even an inanimate cause of
a violent death guilty, and forfeit by way of deodand,
was not without salutary consequences. It is almost a
pity that the rule should have grown obsolete before steam
and companies had shewn their idiosyncracies.
The idea of reviving the forfeit of deodand—wreaking
vengeance on inanimate things—seems to shew that we
have come to a deadlock. But it is not clear how severely
treating deaths through negligence—in other words,
accidents of various kinds—can have any effect in
reducing the number of wilful murders, now so ter-
ribly large. There can be no doubt that one murder
leads to more, and that these crimes occur in batches.
When a man finds that another has taken the revenge
over which ho is brooding, he is irresistibly impelled
to go and do likewise. He follows an example which
he would never be the first to set. But this influence
cannot be affected by greater stringency in the matter
of accidents, though that may be wise in itself. The
gallows will be unusually busy withih the next few
weeks, and probably that may have some effect.

'THE PROSECUTION OF CAPT. CRAIG.

To-day at Pow-street Police-court, Captain
Ninian Craig, late Governor of Pentonville Prison,
was placed before Mr. Flower, the bitting magis-
trate, charged with embezzling £690, the property
of her Majesty the Queen.
It will be recollected that a few days ago the
prisoner was arrested at Liverpool by Inspector
Shaw of the detective department, and it transpired
that after the prisoner eluded the constable at
Cardiff two years ago he succeeded in getting to
America, where he for some time carried on a very
prosperous business, but anxious to re-visit the old
czuntry, he returned but a few weeks ago, and
shortly afterwards he was apprehendeded as stated
above.

Mr. Poland, who appeared on the part of the
Treasury to prosecute, said the prisoner was ap-
pointed governor, in 1856, with a salary of £4OO,
with a rise of £lO per annum, and a free house ;
and although the Guarantee Society had made good
the prisoner's defalcations, the Government had
thought it right to the public to prosecute
the official who had betrayed his trust. Hav-
ing read a letter written by the prisoner shortly
after li4s absconding, which stated that he had
"been led step by step by a villain to take the
public money," the learned gentleman called the
governor of Brecon Prison, who proved the trans-
mitting £22 to the prisoner, of which no
entry appeared iu his books. Mr. Poland
said owing to the difficulty of getting witnesses
together after such a lapse of time, he had to ask
for another remand of the prisoner, which Mr.
Flower at once assented to.
The prisoner, during the proceedings, had a most
dejected look.

FILINCE.

PARIS, Sept. 7.

The Official Journal of this morning says : " The
alarming rumours respecting the Emperor's health,
which were current at the Bourse yesterday, and
appear to have originated with foreign speculators,
have no foundation. The Emperor is up every day
and transacts business as usual, and although the
rheumatic pains still continue his Majesty's health
has never caused the least uneasiness.

A SPEAKING MACHINE.

Professor Faber's speaking-machine is to be exhibited
at Hamburgh during the continuance of the Interna-
ticnal Horticultural Exhibiticn. It is said to articulate
various words, and even to answer questions by simple
sentences with wonderful distinctness. This is by no means
the first invention of the kind that has beon exhibited.
Wolfgang von Kempelen, the inventor of a chess auto-
maton, who was born at Preabnrg in 1734, and died at
Vienna, 1804, both constructed a machine of the kind and
wrote on the subject. The machine about to be exhibited
at Hamburg is, however, more perfect than any previous
invention of the kind.

SHIPPING DISASTERS.

Intelligence has been received at Lloyd's of the loss of
the Chanticleer (barque), which came in collision on
Thursday last with a brig, near Morte, and sub-
sequently sank in deep water near Ilfracombe.
At the time of the collision the Chanticleer was
bound to ll:warm:AlL from Cardiff. The name of the
brig has not yet been ascertained, but it is stated
she was greatly damaged. No lives were lost.

quivir.

711 E LAST CONVANT MYS7ERY.

In another part of our paper it will be seen that
M'Alester, an inmate of St. Pancras Workhouse,
complained to Mr. Cooke, at Clerkenwell Police-
court, of the conduct of the Superioress of the
Roman Catholic Convent, Clarendon-square, in
sending his daughter away to America without his
consent.

Willingate, 43 Y, to-day reported that he had
called at the convent, and had had an interview
with the superioress. lie was informed that the
applicant's daughter, who is 18 years of age, was
entitled to an annuity which is paid to her by her
uncle. She had left the convent about a fort-
night since, and had gone to America, having
sailed in the City of Antwerp from Liverpool.
Her brother, mho resided at Boston, had arranged
to meet her at New York. She had, since she had
left the convent, written to the superioress, and,
stating that she had started for America, gave as a
reason for doing so that she was certain that she
could not keep a situaiion in London, owing to her
father's bad habits; therefore, she should try and
get one where he could not interfere with her. She
also said that it was by the advice of her brother
that she had sailed for America.

The applicant was about to make a rambling
statement, when Mr. Cooke told him to stand down;
he could do nothing for him.
