lot in Australia has been complete. It is a great
fact ; indeed, a fourfold fact. The day of election
has become a day of perfect quiet and order : per-
sonal canvassing is unknown, it was held discre-
ditable and damaging to the candidate as soon as
the Ballot became law. The only canvassing is
that of published addresses, and public meetings,
so that an election has become a political educator
of the people. Landlord influence has vanished.
The numbers who voted from the old constituen-
cies have been prodigiously increased. The interest
in voting is almost universally felt, now that all
can ♦ote without fear. The change is universally
approved. We have overlooked, however, one ex-
ception—an exception which to Englishmen will
surely prove the rule—the Catholic priests, as
in Sardinia, grumble sadly. They find their un-
due influence gone. Even the confessional and
spiritual terrors it seems, fail to secure votes when
the vote is shielded from human eyes. Pro-
bably Catholics think and surely correctly
enough—that their vote is no business of their
priests. Can't Lord JOHN make up his mind to
try the ballot in Ireland at least ? He could do
no harm with it there. The example of Victoria
shows that he must do much good.

PLAN OF THE SIEGE WORKS OF DELHI.

From Sketches by Lieut. G. F. Chesnay, Brigade-
Major of Engineers before Delhi.' By James
Wyld, Charing-cross.

To "strike the iron while it is hot," is an axiom
which has proved successful in all ages, and will
prove so in all time to come. Acting on this prompt
principle, Mr. WYLD, the Queen's Geographer, has
astonished and gratified the public by presenting
them with a map or plan of the devoted city of the
once great Moguls—a city memorable throughout
the far East, and now destined to become a lasting
memorial of British glory all over the world. The
public will see is this enlarged and comprehensive
plan the very beginning and the end of the
siege, and the storming grandeur of the assault.
Every place is so minutely delineated that he who
looks may read the very progress of the operations,
from the capture of the Cashmere Gate to the
death-struggle at the Moree and Cabul Gates, so
obstinately defended, and yet so gallantly carried
by the indomitable valour of British heroism.
The places contiguous to the city, and the whole
character of the country on the Delhi silts of the
river Jumna are so minutely depictld, that t Lis
map must become a treasure among the many
praiseworthy archives of British achievements, and
we Lope that Mr. Wyld will receive that public
reward which his patriotic perseverance so
eminently merits.
