THEATRE-ROYAL, HAYMARKET.

sion was for his withdrawal, without their adducing
ne single reason why they should ever have come to
any such decision from that time to this. Yet even
there our sympathy with that candidate as a repre-
sentative man who was being distinctly
used by being unmistakeably snubbed, was
soon enough "set aside by himself, as a feeling
quite uncalled for, by reason of the spleen evidenced
by himself and his " entourage" in making way for Sir
HENRY HOARE as the second Liberal candidate, now
the second Liberal representative of the new metropo-
litan borough of Chelsea. So, too, has it been with
those other forlorn proteOes of Mr. MlLL—the rest of
the working men's candidates—every one of whom,
like Mr. Mtn himself, has been refused admittance
into the House of Commons by the popular consti-
tuency each appealed to. The electors' manner of
rejection in regard to each has been rather after the
fashion of " Much obliged, but we would
rather not." Your genuine working man has
about as much chance, apparently, of being
returned to serve in Parliament as that " poor
chap in a sleeved waistcoat," Dr. MARIGOLD, the
Cheap-Jack, ever bad of finding himself some fine
morning transformed on the public market place into
he political Dear Jack, vaunting his wares not on the
board of a cart, but on the boards of a hustings.
Even the humbler class of electors, those nearly
upon level with Mr. Lowfa and Mr. BRIGHT'S
dreaded " residuum," appear to have no hesi-
tation whatever—not an instant's—in still pre-
ferring an educated gentleman. Evidence of this
is shown by the lists (upon both sides) of the
various candidates. Scarcely a tradesman is there
on either catalogue. Each has a sprinkling of ma-
nufacturers. But the majority, with each, mainly
consists of Etonians, Rugbians, University men of
Oxford, Cambridge, Dublin, or London, Barristers
and Country Gentlemen, officers in the army, or
men of mark from one or other of the learned
professions. All which is significant enough of
the fact that if this last Reform Bill was, in truth, as
Lord DERBY called it, a leap in the dark, it was a
leap of no very formidable character, and one that has
landed us, now that we have taken it, upon ground
as solid and as familiar as that upon which we were
standing but yesterday.

YOUNG Oxford has not fared so well at the elec-
tions as we could wish. Mr. GOSCHEN has indeed
retained his position at the head of the poll in the
City; Mr. MORRISON his seat at Plymouth; Mr.
GRANT DUFF his at Elgin ; and Mr. BUTLER-JOHN-
STONE his at Canterbury, albeit he has deeply angered
his former supporters by refusing to follow Mr.
DISRAELI. But among the new candidates
belonging to this party there has been
almost unalleviated defeat. Perhaps the most
gallant fight in the whole country, and one which
Oxonians watched with the greatest interest, was that
which Mr. GEORGE BRODRICE waged against the
Duke of MARLBOROUGH in his pocket borough of
Woodstock. It was indeed a close run, far closer than
could be satisfactory to the PRESIDENT of the COUNCIL,
for at the close of the poll Mr. BRODRICK
was only twenty-two votes behind the ducal
nominee, whom he may, perhaps, yet succeed in
unseating on the ground of undue influence. At the
adjacent borough of Abingdon another Balliol man
and first-class classic, Mr. GODFREY LUSHINGTON,
made a less close run with Lord OVERSTONE'S son-
in-law, and was beaten by 396 votes to 324. Mr.
ROUNDELL is another of the young University
Liberals, who, it is said, has made one of the
ablest speeches during the elections, and who vainly
tried to unseat Mr. ASSHETON at Clitheroe.
Sir GEORGE YOUNG was equally unsuccessful in
unseating Mr. GOLDNEY at Chippenham. Mr.
THOMAS BRASSEY, we believe, reckons himself
among the illuminati, and he alone has succeeded.
We fear Young Oxford is still before the age.
It must educate the constituencies by its writings
before it can secure their votes.

THERE were no two politicians who were so often
asked to give characters to new candidates as Mr.
MILL and Mr. BRIGHT. Mr. MILL was profuse in
his recur-- '-"
BRADLAUGH, CREMER, HOWELL, RAWSON,
CHADWICK, and FAWCETT. Only one of these,
Mr. FAWCETT, has been elected ; he, indeed,
did not require a character, yet even he has
won by a very narrow majority. But all
the other candidates whom Mr. MILL recom-
mended either withdrew without going to the poll,
or were defeated by majorities large in every case
except that of Mr. RAWSON, at Salford, while as a
climax Mr. MILL himself is not elected. Mr. BRIGHT
was far more cautious, but even his indi-
rect and oblique recommendations have proved of
little avail. For instance, Mr. ERNEST JONES has been
defeated at Manchester, and Mr. COSSHAM at Dews-
bury. On the other hand, he has the satisfaction
of seeing his brother returned for Manchester, and
one brother-in-law (Mr. LEATHAM) at Huddersfield,
and another (Mr. M'LAREN) at Edinburgh. It must
somewhat mar the satisfaction which these elections
cause him, that he himself was only third on the
poll. This is one of the most remarkable incidents
of the election, and was probably due to the efforts
which were made to prevent any votes being thrown
away for him at the expense of the other Liberal
candidates.

COOL !—A few evenings ago a charming incident
occurred suggestive. of how the roughs of London
ought to be dealt with. The scene was the neigh-
bourhood of Theobald's-road. The time about 10.30
p.m. A young gentleman, whose name we are
tempted to give, for he really deserves it—in age
about 21, slight in proportions, but in stature a trifle
over six feet—is suddenly confronted by two hulk-
ing fellows fully his own height, but of broader
build, men seemingly (judging from their dress)
in the position of life of navvies, one of whom turns
spokesman, with—" I'll trouble you, Governor, for
the time?" Whereupon our young friend, holding
out his gold watch to them in his left hand,
but—immediately over it—with his righ t presenting
towards them the muzzle of a six-shooter revolver,
replies with the utmost nonchalance, " I'm rather
short-sighted ; look for yourselves !" Navvies—in-
stanter—skedaddle. The incident we have here re-
lated is a literal fact, and one but of yesterday's oc-
currence. It is worthy, as we conceive, of being
thus recorded, 'and—when occasion may require—
of being emulated by those who are cool hands
enough for such adventure. For, the truth of the
matter is; Sir Richard Mayne and his policemen
leave us very much to ourselves.

sion in the Royal Artillery, is now getting some of
