TIIE ELECTIONS.

It is satisfactory to note that the elections, which
have occupied nearly a fortnight, are nearly at an
end. There are contests to-day in South Devon,
North Derbyshire, East Suffolk, the East Riding of
Yorkshire, Denbighshire, the Wick Burghs, Cork,
and Meath. To-morrow there are only two to be
decided—the Eastern Division of the West Riding,
and West Surrey. The contest in the Edinburgh
and St. Andrews Universities is appointed for
Monday, the candidates being Professor Playfair, in
the Liberal interest, and Mr. C. Swinton, Con-
servative. Tuesday will witness an entire cessation
of strife, and on Wednesday the two remaining
seats—viz., the Glasgow and Aberdeen Univer-
sities' and Orkney—will be filled. The former
contest will excite unusual interest, it being
almost parallel with the one which came off
at Exeter between Sir John Karslake and Mr.
Coleridge. For the honour of representing the
universities there are two candidates of the legal pro-
fession, viz., th e present and the ex-Lord Advocate. It
may be mentioned that out of the 00 seats apportioned
to Scotland, no less than 40 have already been filled
by Liberals, and only 7 by Conservatives. Of the
remaining 4, Wick is wholly contested by Liberals,
while in Orkney the old sitting member is expected
to have a large majority over his Conservative
opponent.

A DISCOVERY IN SOLAR PILYSICS

The Daily Enos records at great length a dis-
covery in solar physics which may possibly interest
our scientific readers, amateur or otherwise. The
coloured prominences round the sun have only made
themselves apparent during eclipses. While the still is
"naked," so to speali, they could not be observed;
so that at each of the eclipses scientific men have
been very anxious to observe these protuberances.
Mr. Lockyer in England and Dr. Jansin in France
have independently and contemporaneously dis-
covered an arrangement of the telescope and the
spectroscope by which these phenomena may be
observed ou ordinary occasions.

THE SOCIETY OF ARTS.

One hundred and fourteen years ago the Society of
Arts was established, for the purposes of fostering
general improvement. Without very much noise,
the association has exercised a powerful influence for
good. Reviewing its history on Wednesday, the
financial officer of the society pointed out that
when it was established there had been no
art exhibitions, or exhibitions worth naming
of any kind. Machinery in agriculture was
unknown, and agriculture itself was being con-
ducted on very unscientific principles. Food
for cattle was neither of the best nor cheapest ; wasti
lands abounded. W e had as yet not learnt how wo
might use the products of other lands to our advan-
tage. By offering prizes and aiding inquiry, the
society had been the means of improving machinery,
generally. It had given to the world the
screw-jack and improved cranes. In agri-
cultural implements especially it had caused much
improvement. It was Dr. Charles Taylor, for
sixteen yeap the society's secretary, who suggested
cotton prints. By exhibitions, too, it had done much
good. It was from action taken by the society that
the Royal Academy was established, and, more
recently, that the Great Exhibitions of 1851 and 1862
gave instruction to the multitude. Middle class
examinations were the offshoots of the society's
planting • and by trying to acclimatise and to use
the products of other nations, the society had
improved and cheapened the food of the country.
Its achievements, in fact, are "too numerous to men-
tion." But its recent action as regards education (it
was in the Society of Arts rooms that Earl Russell
last year announced his adhesion somewhat to the
Prussian system), and its attempt to organise some
scheme by which our " Arabs " might be brought
under supervision, deserve notice

THE NEW SCOTCH LAW COMMISSION.

The protests which arose from every side against
the constitution of the royal commission on the
procedure in the Scotch law courts have not been
without effect. The manifest absurdity of such a
commission, wanting in point of law reformers, seems
to have made itself clear to everyone. So a new
commission has been issued. The list contains at
least one or two names of weight. Amongst
English lawyers Sir William Page Wood
(Lord Justice of Chancery Appeal), Mr. Justice
Willes, and Sir Roundel' Palmer have been
added. Mr. Sclater-Booth, too, has been appointed.
The Scotch lawyers of note who will sit are Lord
Colonsay, the Lord Justice General Inglis, the Lord
Justice Cleric, Lord Barcaple, and the Lord-Advo-
cate. The commissioners cannot complain of want
of scope in their inquiry. They are directed to report
upon the constitution of the courts, both the higher
tribunals and the police-courts, upon the forms of
pleadings, higher and minor offices, the duties and
privileges of the several offices, the fees, &c., " with
a view of ascertaining whether liny- and what changes
and improvements, either by altering the constitu-
tion or jurisdiction of, or the forms of writs
and pleaaings, and prozcdure and privileges of agents
in, the said courts, or any of them, or otherwise, may
be advantageously made, so as to provide for the
more speedy, economical, and satisfactory dispatch
of the judicial business now transacted by the said
courts, and for the better discovery of truth in the
premises."

map NEW ZEALAND WAR.

Some important particulars have come to hand by this
mail of the war in New Zealand. The whole of
the friendly natives at Talporoahenni, with very few
exceptions, have joined the natives, and the defeat of
the colonial troops on the 7th of September seems
to have bad an influence detrimental to our rule. A
correspondent of the Southern Cross, writing from Whan-
ganui, on the 29th , September, says :—" Intelligence
reached town late last night that the enemy has crossed
the Patea River in force yesterday. The news was brought
to town by a stampede of frightened friendlies from the
Waitotara district, whose lives, they had considered, were
no longer safe from the Hauhaus. The greatest excite-
ment prevails, not only among the European popula-
tion, but also among the Whanganui natives, among
whom the impression (and it is not without signifi-
cance) prevails that the safety of the district is
imperilled. They are clamouring for arms, every man of
them—even those who before, from apathy or contempt
of danger, hung back from volunteering to the front.
Titokowoaru, it is reported, had with him 600 warriors;
this, however, I am inclined to think, is an exaggeration,
for although in the best informed circles it is believed
there are fully this number in rebellion at this moment,
yet it is not likely that the whole force would throw them-
helves into a single and hazardous movement, leaving
a large force of Europeans in their rear and flank.
The Government has received information that
Te Koti, the fanatic chief of the Chatham Hauhaus,
now entrenched at Puketapu, Poverty Bay, has admitted
to some neighbouring tribes having suffered a loss of five
killed and eighteen wounded in the encounter with
Colonel Whitmore, where Captain Carr and Mr. D.
Canning were killed. Te Koti himself was wounded in_.
the fight."

THAMES.

HOW PEOPLE ARE KILLED IN THE PUBLIC
STREETS.—Joseph Leonard, ostler to a boarding
house-keeper, in Ratcliff-highway, was brought be-
fore before Mr. Paget, eh a rged with being drunk,
with furious driving, and damaging a horse and
cart, value £42, belonging to Mr. James Chap -
man, a tradesman.
Mr. Chas. Young defended the prisoner.
Yesterday afternoon the complainant was driving
a two-horse van along the Commercial-road, in an
easterly direction, and met the prisoner in a one-
horse trap, proceeding towards the city. The pri-
soner was drunk, and driving in a reckless manner
on the tramway, with a sugar van before
him, and he suddenly lost the track he
was upon, and drove his horse and cart
right across the road, an 3 clime in contact
with the complainant's horses and van. The left
shaft of the prisoner's cart was forced into one
of the complainant's horses. The shaft entered
the horse's chest. The right shaft of the prisoner's
cart struck the iron band passing across the
saddle of the horse. The shaft of the prisoner's
cart was broken. The complainant's horse was
taken to a veterinary surgeon, who cut a piece of
bruised flesh as large as the palm of a man's hand
from the chest of the animal. The horse is much
depreciated in value.

Thomas Fallen, the complainant's carman, attri-
buted the occurrence to the negligence of the pri-
soner.

In cross-examination by Mr. Charles Young,
Fallen said his horse was not knocked down. He
did not drive on after the occurrence. The prisoner
did come after him aid aske 1 his name and address.
There were two women and a child in the prisoner's
cart. No one was thrown out of the cart. Wit-
ness was not driving on the tramway.
Mr. Paget said he would leave the question as to
the collision and the c)mpensation to which the
complainant was entitled for another tribunal. He
believed the prisoner was drunk, and persons in
that state ought not to be driving vehicles and
horses along the public thoroughfares. That was
how people were killed in the public streets. lie
fined the prisoner ss. for being drunk and 40s. for
furious driving.
The fines were paid.

THE SPEAKER'S EXPLANATION.

--e---
The Right Hon. J. L. Donison writes to the High Sheriff
ti Nottingham to explain his reasons for omitting the
usual vote of thanks. He says :—" It has been the
policy of Parliament for some years past to shorten
the length of notices for election purposes. Acts
have been passed to require the Speaker to
shorten the period formerly allowed between the
-takes in the Gazette, and the issuing of the writs,
during the recess. At the end of last session, the time be-
tween
the proclamation of the writ, and the nomination
was altered from six days to four. This has been done
with the distinct object of expediting elections and
contracting the period of excitement and disturbance. Ac-
cordingly 1 observe that the High Sheriffs all over Eng-
Land have acted in the spirit of these enactments. Rut
-hat is the course that you pursued ? You fixed the
domination for the South Division at Newark on the
16th, the earliest day possible, though the nomination
for the borough was to be held on the same mornin
Yon fixed the nomination for the North Division o
)
the 231 d, the latest day but one possible by law." H
makes several objections to the arrangentents, and complaini
of party manoeuvres, concluding his letter thus:-.
" If you are pleased to give me an assurance that th•
days fixed for the nominations were fixed on publle
grounds, without concert on the part of the Deputr.
Sheriff with others, and without the design of favour-
Lag any party objrci-, though I should still think lot
the reasons given above that you had been very ill
advised, and had exercised a faulty discretion, no ground
for any imputation on your motives would remain. In such
case 1 should at once be prepared to express my regret at
not having extended to you the courtesy usually exteudod
'tio those holding your high office."

A CONSERVATIVE ON THE SITUATION.

Sir Rainald Knightley, Bart., M.P. for South North-

amptonshire, made a noteworthy speech at a banquet at
Northampton a day or two back. He first referred to the
Reform Bill, saying that the lowering of the franchise had
been on the whole a Conservative measure. Next, speak•
ing of the Irish Church, he was afraid that the English
Church would be the next to go. " But when the Irish
Church question is settled, then Mr. Gladstone's diffi-
culties will commence. It may sound like a paradox, but
it is perfectly true that his strength is his weakness. Let
me explain it. You are acquainted with the old saying of
having more pigs than teats.' At the present moment,
I believe, in the Liberal party there are thirty-
five gentlemen who imagine themselves fully corn-

petent to hold Cabinet appointments, and as there
are only twelve Cabinet appointments to be disposed
of, it is cleat that for every gentleman who holds
office there will be two disappointed, and they will

MILITARY DIRTY LINEN,

Londoners generally send their dirty linen to the country
to be washed. Not so the military, who do exactly the
reverse. LThe public will be astonished to learn that the
whole of the barrack and hospital bedding in the London
district,which, besides other places, includes Chelsea, Ken-
s in g ton ,Kni ghtsbridge, Regent's Park , Hounslo w,Windsor,
and the Tower, is sent to a washhouse situated in the interior
of Wellington Barracks, close to Buckingham Gate.
Sheets and bedding wh!ch may have beenused by a small-
pox patient at Hounslow or a fever patient at Windsor,
are brought thence into the very midst of London, and
washed in the centre of the badly-ventilated block
of buildings in which the Guards and their
families are quartered. The laundry is itself inade-
quate to the work. It was erected for the personal
convenience of the regiment on the spot, but has been
converted to its present use on the principle of expediency,
which seems to be one of the most prominent features of
military administration. In a dismal corner building near
the cookhouse the linen is submitted to a process of boiling
and stamping in half-dirty water. The drying closet will
not dry the sheets as fast as they are washed, and it is
useless to expect any bleaching or purification from
exposure to the smoky air of London, in the confined
courtyards of a crowded barrack. It would be interesting
to know whether the sanction of the medical department
has ever been given to an arrangement obviously
dangerous alike to the Guards and to the inhabitants
around. We believe the astounding truth to be that the
spot is beyond their jurisdiction, and that they have neither
power to visit nor to condemn. Meanwhile, we findat Wool.
wich a totally different affair. At the Herbert Hospital there
are usually some two or three hundred patients, and as the
hospital was erected to accommodate a thousand, the
laundry, being of corresponding size, is not athird employed.
Erected regardless of expense, in a pure and bleaching
atmosphere, and replete with every convenience, its staff
is capable of washing for the patients in the hospital, and
for the whole of the London district and the garrison
at Woolwich besides, and this without an addition to
the cost at which the establishment is now maintained
beyond the extra soap. More than £5O per month is
paid in wages, and no one exactly knows how much it
costs in coals, improvements, and repairs. Official
stupidity, departmental jealousy, and reckless careless-
ness of the public interests and health can scarcely be
more clearly demonstrated. Sir Henry Storks has indeed
a task in hand to remedy such evils. We wish him strength
to fulfil his difficult and important mission.—The Lancet..

, LOCOMOTION.

If the recent agitation against "the Southern
railways " did nothing else, it certainly directed
attention to the question of whether our means of
"getting about " might not be improved. The rail-
way carriages, omnibuses? cabs, and nearly every
other " vehicle " were weighed in the balance by
some industrious critic and found wanting. But
especially was the manner of locomotion in towns
condemned, and very urgent were the demands for
tramways. An attempt is now being made to start a
tramway in London. The company is being formed,
and parliamentary notice has been given. It is pro-
posed to lay down lines from the outskirts of London
and Blackheath, Richmond, Croydon, Hounslow,
Uxbridge, Edgware, Harrow, and Barnet. The lines
are to be worked subject to the supervision of the
Board of Trade and the trustees of the highway.
Horse power is at first to be used, but steam is
thought practicable. The expense will be about
£lB,OOO per mile.

THE SOCIETY OF ARTS.

One hundred and fourteen years ago the Society of
Arts was established, for the purposes of fostering
general improvement. Without very much noise,
the association has exercised a powerful influence for
good. Reviewing its history on Wednesday, the
financial officer of the society pointed out that
when it was established there had been no
art exhibitions, or exhibitions worth naming
of any kind. Machinery in agriculture was
unknown, and agriculture itself was being con-
ducted on very unscientific principles. Food
for cattle was neither of the best nor cheapest ; waste
lands abounded. We had as yet not learnt how wo
might use the products of other lands to our advan-
tage. By offering prizes and aiding inquiry, the
society had been the means of improving machinery,
generally. It had given to the world the
screw-jack and improved cranes. In agri-
cultural implements especially it had caused much
improvement. It was Dr. Charles Taylor, for
sixteen years the society's secretary, who suggested
cotton prints. By exhibitions, too, it had done much
good. It was from action taken by the society that
the Royal Academy was established, and, more
recently, that the Great Exhibitions of 1851 and 1862
gave instruction to the multitude. Middle class
examinations were the offshoots of the society's
planting ; and by trying to acclimatise and to use
the products of other nations, the society had
improved and cheapened the food of the country.
Its achievements, in fact, are "too numerous to men-
tion." But its recent action as regards education (it
was in the Society of Arts rooms that Earl Russell
last year announced his adhesion somewhat to the
Prussian system), and its attempt to organise some
scheme by which our " Arabs " might be brought
under supervision, deserve notice
