Lord A. Churchill and the Brecon Electors.

Lord Alfred Churchill, who since the withdrawal
of Mr. D. M. Thomas, is the only Liberal candidate
for Brecon, addressed a crowded meeting in that
town on Wednesday. His lordship said that since
1832 the Tory partyhad been exercising a retrograde
policy. The only time when the Conservative states-
men of the day had kept pace with the feeling of
the people was when Sir Robert Peel seceded from
the Protectionist party, carrying the triumph of free
trade against protection. That was in 1846. He
looked upon the French treaty as one of the finest
pieces of legislation which had occurred for many a
year, for it had done more than anything else to
carry the minds of the people from war and national
hostility, and to fix them upon peace and the pro-
secution of industrial pursuits. The French treaty
was the policy of a Liberal Administration, as was
the reduction of the income tax from 7d. to 4d. in
the pound, which had been of benefit in the way
of increasing the capitalist's resources. The
French treaty had been opposed by the Conser-
vatives, as had the repeal of the paper duty. He
remembered voting with Mr. Gladstone for the re-
peal of the paper duty, which had not only had the
effect of stimulating the minds of the people, but it
had increased the manufacture of paper. When the
Conservatives came into power in 1839, they com-
menced to consider what they should do for the
people, and they brought in a bill, notwithstanding
they had previously opposed it, for the admission of
Jews into Parliament. Now he should like to know
whether this was political honesty. How ever, this
was what they had done, and. in order to retain the
reins of power, they would no doubt do something of
the same kind again—perhaps they would abolish 1
church rates. The great questions of the Liberal
party were now, as they bad always been, "Peace,
retrenchment, and Reform." With regard to the
first question, he might say that had Lord Palmerston
decided to go to war on the late Danish difficulties he
should have voted against the course, for his policy
was peace. (Mr. Thomas here entered the room, and
his appearance was the signal for an outburst of en-
thusiastic cheers.) The noble lord proceeded to say
that the next question was reform. The unparalleled
magnitude of the recent reform meeting at Birming-
ham, at which a.quarter of a million of well-behaved
men had assembled, was an illustration whether or not
the people were earnest and desirous for reform. The
meeting was a quiet one, as would have been the
meeting in Hyde-park had the Government allowed
lit to be held. Strictly speaking, hebelieved thepeople
had not a right to go to Hyde-park and hold a meet-
eventit Ho
ing, but it was a great act of folly to pr

meat, he must say that
the estimates for the army
since the Crimean war
and navy had been increasing
in a manner which was fearful to contemplate, not-
withstanding the utmost endeavours of Mr. Glad-
stone to reduce them. Ile really dreaded to see the
estimates for the current year, for the Derbyite
fancy was to keep the army and the navy in a
thorough state of efficiency, regardless of cost. The
whole system of army and navy expenditure re-
quired revision ; and with regard to the army, it
required considerable reformation in the manage-
ment—the harmonising of the regular army with
the militia. An esprit de corps should exist between
the army and the militia. And he thought that
the system of flogging in the army should be dis-
pensed with, for hebelieved it prevented enlistment
to a considerable degree. He had briefly indicated
his views, and if the constituency of Brecon shduld
return him he would serve it to the best of his ability.
In reply to a question, the noble lord expressed
himself not in favour of the ballot, for he would
rather see men vote openly, and not in a secret
. manner.

The 17-gun screw sloop Cameleon, 952 tons, 200-
horse power, is in No.l dock at Sheerness, where she
is undergoing very extensive repair to both machi-
nery, engines, and hull. The removal of her plank-
ing has led to the discovery of several defective
timbers, which are being taken out and replaced
with new. By direction of the Admiralty, she is to
be fitted with a topgallant forecastle. Her boilers
and the whole of her machinery have been removed
since she has been in dock, in order to undergo the
necessary repairs and overhaul in the steam factory
at the dockyard.
The Reindeer, 7, 200 horse power, sloop corvette,
was put out of dock at Chatham yesterday, and
placed at moorings alongside the sheer hulk in the
harbour.

The steam dredging machine in usa at Chatham
Dockyard is ordered to be towed down to Sheer-
ness, to be employed in removing a sandbank which
has accumulated in that harbour, near the dock-
yard.
In the description of the screw frigate Endymion,
21, 500 horse power, which appeared in the Naval
Intelligence in The Sun of yesterday, the guns with
which she is armed should have been described as
100-pounders and not 300 pounders, as stated.
An order was yesterday received at Chatham
directing a detachment of gunners from the B bat-
tery, 4th brigade, Royal Field Artillery, to embark
on Tuesday next with the draughts of infantry
troops under orders to proceed to Canada.

All the available officers and sappers of the Royal
Engineers at headquarters, Chatham, not otherwise
required for engineering duties, have been for some
time past employed in a series of extensive field
operations, covering the whole extent of the lower
lines sloping down to the Medway. Among the
works already constructed is an admirably-executed
four-gun battery, together with some smaller bat-
teries, first and second parallels, and rifle pits ; the
whole of the works, which cover a large extent of
ground, being finished with an excellence not usually
observed in engineering operations of the kind.
Although nothing definite is known at headquarters,
it is probable the officials may decide on turning the
works now completed to a practical use by directing
a sham fight and assault on the garrison to be
undertitken by the troops prior to the batteries
and other works being destroyed, and the ground
again levelled for the winter season.

—Charles E. Hawker, Ernest F. Harris, Francis

[ADVERTISEMENT.]-11olloway's Pills are undeniably
the finest medicine in the world for biliousness and indi-
gestion. In all cases of deranged stomach, determination of
blood to the head, bile, sick headache, liver and stomach
complaints, there is no medicine known that will give such
immediate relief as these renowned pills; young and old,
rich and poor, patronize them, and so many cures are
effected by their use, that their praise is sounded from the
torrid to the frigid zone ; in truth, personsp riwehkoly travelheat,c oann d
