The inauguration of the Leeds Town Hall, on
Tuesday, was, after the departure of her MAJESTY
for her northern seat, where she can, for a time,
enjoy the domestic felicity so dear to her heart,
suitably concluded by a magnificent entertainment
given by Sir PETER FAIRBAIRN to a large party of
the guests invited to do honour to the occasion,
The worthy Mayor, who bore his blushing honor:as
with becoming dignity, spared no exertions to
render the feast all that could be desired by the
fortunate recipients of his magnificent hcApitality.
He showed what one of the people could do, and the
most fastidious autocrat could not cavil at the taste
or liberality displayed by one who had been the archi-
tect of his own fortune, which, we trust, will remain
in his family through many generations. Nothing
was omitted that could add to the festivity. The
newly-dubbed knight, who had just received the
accolade of honour at the hands of his Sovereign,
was fully at home in the chair, and the eloquent
manner in which he prefaced the toasts, which, in
his hands, were by no means matters of form,
showed that he was eminently qualified for the
position in which he was placed, and which he had
achieved:by honourable industry and unblemished
rectitude.

Perhaps the most interesting part of the proceed-
ings was when, in returning thanks for the toast of
" The Mayer and Corporation," he declared that
the mag-aificent edifice which had that day been
opened, and which reflected so much credit on all
parties concerned, was but a mere " instal-
ment of what was anticipated"—not so much
for the benefit of the upper classes of society
as of the working people." He declared that " the
Town Council were not inclined to do too much at
once, but they would go on gradually, and they
would always endeavour to discharge their duties
efficiently and satisfactorily." This is the true
principle by which the greatest amount of pro-
gress can bz... attained. Spasmodic efforts are very
well, but " slow and sure" has commended itself
to the plain common sense of the nation, as the
best rule for producing the greatest results in
reasonable time.
It might almost have been stated that muni-
cipal institutions, felicitously designated by Mr.
BEECROFT as a " Sixth Estate of the Realm,"
were on their trial! If so, they passed, through
their champion, the Corporation of Leeds, brilliantly
through the ordeal, and the remaining estate—
" personified as JOHN BULL," had abundant reasons
to be proud of the representatives of the Woollen
Metropolis. The hon. gentleman happily alluded
to " the alliance that day afresh cemented between
Royalty on the one part, and free municipal insti-
tutions on the other;" that "in days of yore regal
visits had been paid, as if by-Divine right, to despoil
property, or to invade privileges. On that day the
SOVEREIGN had visited Leeds, leaving behind her
blessings and honours, cheerful faces, and
" pleasant recollections." This, as we yesterday
stated, constituted the great, the all-important
distinction between Royal progresses of the present
day and those of the olden time—how the
Monarch is regarded as acting for the benefit of
the people—not the people as being merely for his
or her grandeur and aggrandisement. The con-
stitutional principle is thoroughly recognised, and
hence the cordial goodwill on the one side, and
affectionate and devoted loyalty on the other, with
which the parties mutually regard each other.
We trust many similar occasions may arise to
bring the QUEEN and her people together, and
sure we are that the enthusiastic reception accorded
by the inhabitants of Yorkshire will merely serve
as a precedent that will be closely followed in any
district or locality in which she may set her foot,
whether it be east, west, north, or south. Leeds
has well discharged its duty. There are other
municipalities that will be equally desirous of doing
their devoirs to one whose domestic virtues are so
well befitting her exalted station.

When the submarine cable shall have been
secured from the recurrence of those lamentable
interruptions to the electric current, endangering
the:whole of the telegraphic intercommunication—
and we do confidently trust and believe that it may
be so secured--obviously the next step to be taken
will be the laying down of another, and another,
and another of these magical links, bringing toge-
ther (though still at a distance of more than 2,000
miles from each other) Valentia and Newfoundland.

Wheh several cables shall have been safely depo-
sited in the Atlantic, one end of each coiled up on
the coast of Ireland, and the other end coiled p o
the coast of North America—then, but not till then,
we may look upon the completed enterprise with
something like equanimity. Then, but not sooner
—not, certainly, while the priceless boon thus
acquired by the ingenuity of Man applying to his
own purposes the magical powers of Nature,
trembles, so to speak, upon a hair—hangs perpe-
tually upon the tenuity of a single cord of gutta-
pereha—is dependant wholly and solely upon this
solitary bond of union between the two continents,
nay, for that matter, between the two hemispheres.

Prudence, safety, economy, all demand this addi-
tional expenditure upon the undertaking. What
has been done once, can surely be done again. Let
it then be done, and that speedily—and when it is
eo done we maY relit and congratulate one another.

Hardly, in reason, can we be of fe ring each other
confident felicitations upon the pi 3rfect realisation
of a day-dream that any moreLer it, by reason of
some lamentable casualty, may slit my to have been
dissipated. But, having multip lied these mar-
vellous means of correspondence • with our fellow-
citizens in Newfoundland, we mat: y at length, and
no longer irrationally, regard 11 e most glorious
scientific achievement of the nin zeenth century as
really and seriously accomplishe a..

Therefore, again, we say the lac xt step before us
is to pay out another and yet Dine Cher of the sub-
marine cables between Valenti A. and Newfound-
land.

Subsequently the process of e. lec trio telegraphing
must extend further, hither a nd. thither, both in
the eastern and in the wester a hemisphere. A
telegraphic cable will thus, ,of course, sooner or
later connect us with our West Indian possessions,
Another cable trailed on to Panama, and linked
across that isthmus, will bring as into momentary
intercourse—northwards, with British Columbia—
westwards, with Hong Kong and Sarawak—
southwards, with the northern and eastern coast of
Australia.

Meanwhile, those thrilling nerves of wire would
have bee:A running out along th a bed of the Medi-
terMnean—across Suez—down the whole length of
`ale Red Sea, onward through th.e Straits of Bab-el-
mandeb, and so beyond the watert; of the Arabian
Sea and the Indian Ocean to Ceylon, and the opposite
coast lines of the peninsula of Hind.ostan. Thence,
by additional cables between Malaya and Sumatra,
along the channel of the Straits elf Malacca, branch-
ing off northwards, southwards, and eastwards, to
Hong Kong, to Labuan, and to the southern and
western coasts of Australia, the circle would be
completed, and the whole scPltered immensity of
the British Empire—its sixty colonies or there-
abouts—its possessions at once European, Asiatic,
African, American, and Australasian, would be
bound and knitted rAtkd twined together by a
magical network of electric cables—its further-
most limits being -brought by that happy time into
instantaneous communication.
It is no iii day-dream this—but the reasonable
surmises consequent upon a gigantic and magnifi-
cent reality. That reality—the submarine cable
between Valentia and Newfoundland. This achieve-
'..nent moreover, it should be remembered, is
no isolated fact, but the most majestic realisation
of a project already successfully carried out upon a
smaller scale elsewhere—by cables, for example,
connecting England and Ireland, or the chalky
cliffs of Albion with those confronting our sea-beat
isle on the opposite shores of the British Channel, the
white craggy coast line of France bringing us into
hourly intercourse with the European Continent.
We are dot, consequently, counting without the
book, or shooting beside the mark—we are reason-
ing by the book, that goodly tome of submarine
telegrams already produced here at London, there
at Paris, yonder at Dublin. We have seen the
bull's-eye won long ago by the winged arrow of
the lightning. The Future—radiant, marvellous,
magical, scarcely credible though it is—shines
bright and plain before us. Anyone who lists
may trace its outlines, as we have done—they ar e
clearly discernible.

Mr. MONCKTON MILNES told the good folk of
Sheffield the other day that there were two facts
just now of some political importance—that Lord
PALMERSTON was recreating himself at Paris, and
that Lord DERBY had sold his stud. Certain it is
that the latter portent is looked on with dismay
by the Whigs, and they arc anxiously asking,
what does it mean? Does Lord DERBY mean to
become a working, Premier? and if so—bless us—
what is to become of us ? Lord. DERBY has always
been understood to prefer the turf and an Opposition
oration to the toils and solicitudes of office. Even
this year, he is supposed to have done his part
chiefly by the aid of an ever-ready genius, and left
work pretty much to one near him, known to pre-
fer it to amusement ; but should the Premier have
determined to bring both his high abilities and his

practical energies, too, into the service of a Con-
servative Premiership, it will not be such an easy
task to eject him from it. In fact, in selling his
stud, the Whigs fear that Lord DERBY has sold
them.

Somehow, the deed compares naturally with
the similar one of Lord GEORGE BENTINCK. He,
ardent lover of the turf as he was, when he deter-
mined to lead the Conservatives in the Lower
House, and when, for that purpose, he devoted him-
self intensely to political studies and political
work—he found that he could not lead on the turf
and in the House of Commons too. He made his
choice, and was confessedly in the path of success,
when his course was suddenly arrested. Lord
DERBY is already the accomplished head of his
party. He needs no study or preparation ; he needs
time only, and.the concentration of his energies to
one great object. Surely it is much more likely
that he has resolved to give himself to the weightier
duties of politics on the very threshold of sixty,
than that he has any puritan quarrel, with his old
pursuits. His party needs his whole strength ; a
large number of the county members, especially,
reluctantly follow the leadership of genius in the
Lower House, and want the noble lord to be
much more prominent as the head of the Govern-
ment; and, with a son destined to play an important
part in the government of his country, it may be
worth Lord DERBY'S while to make the most of the
present Conservative innings.

The ugly fact for Cambridge-house is, that Lord
DERBY should look so differently on his position now
to what he did when he was last in power. In 1852
we heard nothing of selling off his stud. He too
well knew that, even with a Parliament elected under
his own auspices, the chances were all against him.
Does he think so now ? It would seem not. He
sacrifices the turf to politics. The natural expla-
nation seems to be that he thinks the latter now a
pretty sure game. He sees that he was not merely
tolerated last session, but that a supposed large
hostile majority turned out to be a friendly ma-
jority. He has seen also that there is a pretty
sure way to retain this majority, namely, by com-
pelling his Tory supporters to yield to common
sense and the country, when the country is
determined to have a liberal measure. Does
Lord DERBY mean to govern in accordance with
speaker
t
popular wishes, and to become again the Reforming
Lord STANLEY of a quarter
of a century
at backh ?e
We can desire nothing more, as aak
Cutlers' feast observed, than that it should prove
true that, in his case, " the child is father to the
man ;" and that Lord DERBY, in 1858, should be an
improved edition of the Lord STANLEY of the first
Reform Bill. The Lord STANLEY of the pro3ent
day would be ready enough to co-operate heartily
with him.

If it really be the case that Lord DERBY does
mean to remain in office, and that he intends, if
possible, to consolidate his power, we may almost
take it as an omen that he has decided also on a
liberal and popular policy. We cannot imagine
him so infatuated as to imagine, especially with
Lord STANLEY at his elbow, that he can keephis post
for a week by hoisting the flag of " No Reform,"
or of " No Concession to Democracy." He must
know that the pseudo-Liberals would at once hoist

the opposite colours, and would probably succeed
in overthrowing him. He must see that the people
demand a better representation, and he must know
that they have a right to it, have the power to
enforce it, and will do so, if irritated by direct oppo-
sition. But will Lord DERBY endeavour, by shuffling
and evasion, to keep the word of promise to our ear
and break it to our hope P We can hardly believe
this possible of Lord DERBY. Cunning is not his
forte, not his disposition. He would be much more
likely to beard the populace than to shuffle with it.
He will not put a Reform Bill into a QUEEN'S
Speech, and then in April not have even a draft of
it. He will either refuse all Reform, and go out
rather than give it, or he will give us such a- Reform
Bill as shall do credit to the DERBY Cabinet. Such,
at least, is the hope we are inclined to cherish.
Some will think a Reforming Tory Premier an
impossibility. It is no greater an impossibility
than a Reforming Whig Premier. What was
there in Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S last that Lord DERBY
need shrink from ? And as to the late Premier,
he was known to be quite as hostile to liberalising
the representation at all, as Lord DERBY can be.
If the Derby-Disraeli Cabinet is to last through
another session, a tolerably honest Reform Bill is an
acknowledged necessity of their position. They
must have something in the shape of one. Can it
fail to occur to the most determined Tories—
to such as Mr. HENLEY, for instance, that it
would be infinitely more for the interests of the
aristocracy to surprise the people by their liberality
than to fight and squabble with them over what
must be conceded at last. Even that real Tory,
Earl GREY, has told them that a good bold measure
of Reform is preferable to such half measures, as
tempt to annual agitation. This seems almost like
a political truism, and it is hard indeed if a man of
Lord DERBY'S position and ability cannot induce
the Tory pecus to follow their leader in what is so
easily shown to be the safe track. Lord DERBY is
now in the position to give the go-by to the old
dawdling Whigs, to inaugurate a new Tory policy,
—to impart, as it were, a new meaning to the word
Tory, and to induce the nation to give its generous
confidence to that one of the two aristocratic parties
which shows its confidence in the people. Such are
Lord DERBY'S opportunities. We shall see next
spring whether he follows the routine course of all
holders of power, or whether he has sold his stud
to take up with the people.

DEATH OF THOMAS CROMPTON, ESQ.—We regret
to announce the death of Thomas Bonsor Cromp-
ton, Esq., of Farnworth Mills, near Bolton.
The melancholy event took place at the residence
of T. Delarue, Esq., the Hazells, Sandy, Bedford-
shire, yesterday. The deceased gentleman was in
the 67th year of his age.
ALBEMARLE HOTEL, BRIGHTON.—Sir Chapman
Marshall, alderman, is amongst the latest arrivals.
At Vienna the Austrian paper currency has re-
covered to its par value.
The mail steamer for Brazil to-day will take out
£69,400, £51,000 in gold, and the remainder in silver.
A further arrival of about £lOO,OOO in gold from
Russia is expected in the course of about five or six. days.
Lord Stanley, Secretary of State for India, has
appointed Sir George Russell Clerk, K.C.8., and Mr.
'
Henry Baillie, M.P. to bo Under-Secretaries of State ; and
Mr. James Cosmo Melvin, late Deputy-Secretary to the
East India Company, to be Assistant-Under-Secretary of
State.

--
INAUGURATION OF THE STATUE OF NEWTON
AT GRANTHAM. - This interesting ceremony takes place
on the 21st inst., and Lord Brougham has signified his in-
tention to be present on the occasion.

LONDON COMMON COUNCIL.—A vacancy in the
City of London Common Council has occurred by the death
of Mr. James Rowland Carr. Mr. Carr represented the
ward of Bishopagate upwards of 20 years.

Bishop Maltby has presented a donation of £2O
to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. The demands
on this valuable institution are at present very heavy. In
addition to having 70 lifeboats under its management, it is
now building ten new lifeboats for various dangerous points
of the coast. When complete with carriages, houses, and
other stores, these ten lifeboats will cost at least £3,000.
EMIGRATION.—The Prince Alfred steamer ar-
rived at Pembroke-dock on the 6th instant to embark emi-
grants for New Zealand. She lies alongside the pontoon at
the Ney-land terminus of the South Wales Railway, Mil-
ford Haven, taking in coal and embarking emigrants, for
which that famed por* is so convenient. This is the second
vessel that has done so thence during the present year.

THE BRITISH MUSEUM.—Yesterday this insti-
tution was re-opened fo the public, after being closed for a
week, as usual at this period of the year, in order that the
contents might be re-arranged, the building repaired and
cleaned, and the attendants allowed a holiday. During the
day a great number of persons availed themselves of the re-
opening to visit the institution. The general department
of antiquities, natural history, &c., will remain open to the
public every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, from 10 to
5 o'clock, till the end of October ; and the reading-room,
to persons having the privilege of admission, from 9 to 5
o'clock daily.'
It appears that the negotiations for establishing
mail services to Australia and British Columbia by the
Panama route are still under the consideration of the Go-
vernment. In both cases promptitude will be important.
Supposing the Panama route to Australia to be adopted
alternately with the Suez line, 18 months, it is believed,
must still elapse before it could be thoroughly organised.
The route to British Columbia could be perfected probably
in a much shorter period, but even in that case a consider-
able delay will occur in getting the vessels to their station.
via Cape Horn. Looking at the rapid growth of Austra-
lia and the momentous prospects in British Columbia, it
will be seen there is no time to be lost. The Royal Mail
Company, it is said, are offering to carry out both services,
and, as they have already in their hands the Atlantic por-
tion, it may be presumed they should be prepared to exe-
cute the task most expeditiously and on the cheapest terms.
The contemplated time from Southampton to Sydney would
be 55 days.

THE ATLANTIC CABLE.—Up to yesterday even-
ing no communication of any kind, telegraphic or other-
-wise, had been received at the office of the Atlantic Tele-
graph Company, as to the operations supposed to be going
on at Valencia to ascertain the point of interruption of the
electric signals, since the message from Mr. Saward, the
secretary of the company, dated from that place on Satur-
day, and which appeared in our impression of Monday.
The directors, accompanied by Mr. Saward and several
practical electricians, are still at Valentia; but at present
the officials of the company left in London are without any
information as to what has been done there to discover the
place of stoppage or the result. The permanent shore end
of the cable intended for the Valentia end, and which is
much stronger and thicker than the rest, and calculated to
resist the greater amount of risk to which it is exposed asit
approaches the landing-place, is now being embarked at
Plymouth, and will be conveyed to its destination without
delay. The impression still obtains among the company's
servants that the point of interruption is at no great distance
from the shore at the Valentia termination, and this de-
rives confirmation froth the letter of Mr. Whitehouse,
which appeared in this journal.
THE DEAN OF CARLISLE AND THE REV. PRR
crivron LIVINGSTON.—On Tuesday morning the Bishop
of Carlisle, assisted by Dr. Travers Twiss, chancellor of the
diocese of London, and the Rev. C. J. Burton, chancellor
of the diocese of Carlise, as assessors, held a Court in the.
Chapter-house, for the purpose of hearing an appeal of
the Rev. G. T. Livingston, minor canon and precentor,
arising out of a dispute which at the time created much
interest in the public mind. Mr. Edward James, Q.C.,
and Mr. Lawrie appeared for the Dean and Chapter.
Mr. Temple, Q.C., represented Mr. Livingston, the de-
fendant. Several questions were discussed as to the powers
of the Court and the nature of the evidence permitted
to be offered, and which was very voluminous. The
nominal point at issue, and which the bishop had to try,
was the right to prescribe the selection of music to be used
in the cathedral service. Mr. Livingston claimed this
right under a clause which gives the precentor the com-
mand of the minor canons, clerks, and choristers---“ Quid_
quid ille legendum aut canendum praescripserit prompte
whether
a r ere d ebe
the
n t.
general" IIt was for the bishop,
dean
does not
as visitor, to decide
authoritya of h
over-
ride this limited jurisdiction. The facts are those .—A
draft of a selection of music for the fifth Sunday in Lent
was handed to Mr. Livingston by the organist, containing
an anthem from the " Messiah," to which he entertained
objections. He forwarded the draft to the dean and
canons, with a marginal note objecting to the anthem,
but not suggesting any substitute, and received it back
again, with a memorandum by the dean dissenting
from the objection. The precentor next addressed to
the dean a letter asking him to reconsider his judgment,
but on the following day, being applied to in the usual
course to furnish the customary list of the next Sunday's
music, he, not having received any answer from the dean,
wrote and exhibited lists altered in conformity with his own
opinions. Upon this an angry correspondence took place.
The dean prohibited Mr. Livingston from having anything
further to do with the singing lists, and eventually sus-
pended him from his office. The disputed anthem was
restored to its place in the list, the dean's name being
appended to it as an authority, and that of Precentor
Livingston struck out. Upon this, Mr. Livingston pre-
sented certain charges against the dean, which he vainly
endeavoured to induce the chapter to receive. The dean
then pronounced formal sentence upon him, a course in
which he was supported by the canons residentiary of
the cathedral. Against this decision Mr. Livingston
appealed to the visitor. Mr. Temple opened the case and
stated the facts set out in the appellant's petition, and these,
so far as they went, were not disputed. Mr. James, on
behalf of the Dean and Chapter, contended that the grounds
of Mr. Livingston's dismissal were not solely those alleged
in the document purporting to 'dismiss him, and entered
into a long statement, and read many letters endeavouring
to show that the rev. precentor had been wilfully contu-
macious and disrespectful to his superiors since his appoint-
ment in 1855. At the conclusion of the learned counsel's
speech the court adjourned until Wednesday, when Mr.
James announced his intention of examining the dean and
canons and the organist. There is a strong feeling in
Carlisle in reference to this
subject, the capitular body
having been for some •
time past very unpopular with the
people of the old cathedral city.

LATEST NEWS.

MARSEILLES, SEPT. 8.

Accounts have been received from Constantinople
to the Ist. M. Thouvenel had left on an excursion
to Mount Athos. A partial modification had taken
place in the Ministry. Abdallah Pacha, the new
scherif of Mecca, had been received by the Grand
Vizier. The bombardment of Jeddah had produced
an unpleasant impression on the Porte ; the
Turkish Government state that the satisfaction
would have been more striking if the Turks had
acted alone. The conclusion of the new loan has
caused the exchanges to go down materially. The
son of Fuad Pacha had, left Constantinople with
the ratification of the convention relative to the
Principalities. The English consul at Jassy is
dead. Prince Ghika was continuing to exert all
his influence to obtain the post of Hospodar. The
electoral struggle bids fair to -be very sharp in
Wallachia.

Emperor has decided that the functions of Governor-
General, such as they have hitherto existed, are sup-
pressed, as well as the government council and the
secretariat-general. A superior commandant of th
land and naval forces in Algeria is appointed, with
extensive military and political powers. The
Emperor has appointed General de MacMahon to
that post. The administration will be carried on
direct by the prefects in the civil territory, and by
the generals in the military. You shall shortly
receive my detailed instructions. Assure the
functionaries and the clerks who may be affected by
this measure that their future welfare shall not
suffer from it ; they may rely on my protection.
The whole of • the present system will continue to
work without any modification until further orders ;
every one must remain at his post. The Emperor
and I rely on you, my dear general." The Akhbar
of Algiers states that Colonel Ribourt, first A.D.C.
of Marshal Randon, has arrived in that city, to
officially deliver up, in the name of the marshal,
the service to the governor ad interim.

RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg of the 30th ult., in
the Debats, says :—" The Emperor, on the report of
the governor of Eastern Siberia, has ordered that a
town, to bear the name of Blagowitchensk, shall be
founded at the confluence of the Sei and the Amur.
The Russian Government is now having made in
Prussia 5,000 Minie rifles on a new system. The
barrels are to be 38 inches long, and the calibre 58-
100th of an inch, with four grooves. The longest
range of these rifles is 1,200 paces. The total
length of them is 4ft. sin., and they are well suited
to light infantry. It is said that for the future all
the musket barrels are to be made of steel."

A letter from Warsaw says :—" Prince Gorts-
shakoff, Governor of Poland, has arrived here from
his foreign trip, and M. Tymoski, Secretary of

nobles of Wilna, and to offer them one in return.
In the Government of Wilna great preparations are
being made to receive his Majesty with fitting
honour."
