SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIO JOURNALS,

The Times remarks that the autumn of 1868 will be dis-
tinguished by a concurrence of elections in America,
France, and England. We have nothing to learn from
the new empire, but we have much to learn or avoid in
America. We sometimes hear now-a-days of the Ameri-
canisation of our institutions. It is a favourite bugbear of
Conservative addresses, and we confess it is a thing to be
dreaded. But our institutions will not be thus
Americanised until our temper and habits have
been already impregnated with the spirit of which
institutions are but the expression. Whether there
is any danger of this may be judged by those who
deprecate the result. When it is declared that
Judas Iscariot was, on the whole, a gentleman compared
with Mr. Gladstone, and a nobleman of the highest
standing presides at the meeting where the declaration is
made, and lets it pass without comment, we may ask
whether Americanisation has not begun. When the
managers of a contest in a midland county circu-
late statements imputing to Mr. Gladstone an under-
itanding with the Society of Jesuits, and declare
that he agreed to advocate the disestablishment
of the Irish Church two years ago in a conference
with the Pope of Rome, we may ask again whether
Americanisation has not begun. When the contest for
the representation of East Kent is disgraced by the
issue of such mock addresses as have been published
in the name of a Liberal candidate, we may once
more ask whether Americanisation has not begun. It
is possible that similar offences have been com-
mitted on the other side, though we do not remem-
ber to have heard of them from Conservative
organs. But whether committed by both sides or not, we
are certain that the party which resorts to such expedients
will suffer from them. The temper of Englishmen is not
yet so debased as to view these expedients with compla-
cency, much less with admiration. They excite an instan-
taneous and vehement repugnance, which gives place only
to a conviction that the cause must be bad which seeks
assistance and support in such devices ; and we exhort
each party, as it values success, if it does not value self-
respect, to abstain from acts which damage itself and
would degrade the nation if it approved them.
The Post thinks that the speeches of Lord Amberley and
Mr. Ayrton, taken together, may be received as a very
complete programme of the policy which gives life and
soul to the Liberal party, and upon which, if upon any-
thing, it must rely to base its unity in the next political
campaign. The ascendancy of the Whigs is over, the
time for coquetting with Liberalism past, and the
only wise course will be for all sections to unite
frankly in adopting for the whole party such
' opinions as will stand wear and tear. The necessity
for this would have been evident even under the old con-
dition of circumstances, but now that the constitution
of the country has been altered in so democratic a sense
it is indisputable, and it should be recognised without hesi-
tation. The question of the Irish Church is one upon
which no Liberal can entertain any sort of doubt. It is
essential that the different members of the party
should, without delay, make up their minds on
the subject of education; while electoral ques-
tions, such as the personal payment of rates,
the distribution of members, and the ballot, will require
attention. To stand still upon the old Whig lines would
be even more fatal to the party in these days than to re-
trograde. If it is to be united it must adopt and avow a
bold and progressive policy, and if it is not united it must
be content to remain as powerless in the forthcoming
session as it was in the last.
The Herald reminds us that when conscientious people
are invited to make a great sacrifice for the attainment of
what is alleged to be an enormous and preponderating
good, they have to ask themselves, before complying with
the request, three or four very serious questions. First of
all they have to inquire if the sacrifice be one that
is not in itself illegitimate, and never could be anything
else. Supposing this preliminary difficulty got over,
they next have to find out if the attainment is
sure to be achieved by the sacrifice, or whether
one sacrifice will not entail another, the pos-
sible illegitimacy of which will then in turn have
to be considered, without there being any certainty of
their ever getting any nearer to the object in behalf of
which so perplexing a line of conduct has been ventured
on. This is no abstract case to which we invite the atten-
tion of the public. It is their case at the present moment.
It is the case of the Protestant Church in Ireland, which
they are pressingly solicited to sacrifice to the pacifi-
cation of that country. Now, if the Irish have for so
long and so unremittingly been anything but a pacific
community, and England has suffered so severely from
its turbulent tendencies that were the promise of its turn-
ing over a new leaf dependent on our consenting to some
one condition, we can scarcely conceive the condition dis-
agreeable enough to make us Shrink from concession. We
think we may go so far as to say that if the sacrifice of the
Irish Church, as far as the sacrifice was consistent with

conscience—and even then it would be about the greatest

sacrifice that could be demanded of us—were demonstrably
certain to give lasting tranquillity and concord to a most
discordant section of the United Kingdom, we should be
sorely tempted to make it. But the sacrifice would be
useless ; other questions are in the rear, as the Liberals
themselves confess.

The Telegraph says the beginning of Reform, as surely
AS the beginning of strife, is like the letting out of water.
It is impossible to remove one abuse or injustice, and then
calmly go to sleep and forget that others exist and loudly
call for removal. The spirit which has governed the first
steps towards Reform must, by the necessity of its being,
urge both Reformers and reformed to press forward in
the same path. That great change in the political
relations of the people of these islands which was
effected in 1832 brought in its train those rapid
advances in commercial legislation, ecclesiastical freedom,
and social development, which have shed such brilliancy
upon the last forty years of almost uninterrupted peace.
And the reform accomplished in the past and present year
ought not to be less prolific than that of which it was th•
consequence and completion. Indeed, it has perhaps been
more clearly seen by those who honestly laboured to per-
fect the legislation of 1867 and 1868, than it was by the men
of 1830, that the measures for which they strove were not
ends, but instruments. Those men assailed and destroyed

a huge political corruption, primarily because it was an
injustice to the nation ; these, while extending the
great redress of 1832 to the altered necessities of
the present day, have had wider. and higher views.
The franchise legislation of 1867-68, therefore, being, as it
were, but the prelude to more extended and more search.
ing measures of Reform, it becomes of the greater impor-
tance to observe the notes sounded in the addresses of

members or the question; of electors, and thus indicating
the theme of debate in the next Parliament. That

there should be any signs of resolution to promote
religious equality, to break down the secular barriers
against a national system of education, to reduce
the expenses and eradicate the abuses of the depart-

ments, is easily understood. Nor Is it surprising
that there is a strong determination to lose no
time in claiming the full measure of that Reform which
the checks and ingenious devices of Mr. Disraeli have

subjected to such needleeis abatement. It is more remark-
able to find another demand falling from so many lips
and flowing from so many pens. There is a kind of
consensus of opinion among Liberal candidates, of all
shades of opinion, in favour of protecting the elec.

toral rights of the new constituency by the ballot.
Until the men who wield the great levers of power derived
from land and capital shall cease to use them for illegiti-

mate political ends, it is against those men, and not
against the new constituency, that the safeguard of the

ballot is demanded. 'Unfortunately, within the last week

or two the magnates of the soil and coin, from so-styled
"princes of the land" downwards, have been conducting
themselves in a manner- which must give the true
friends of the tenant and the workman reasonable ground

for apprehension that the new electors will not, any more
than the old—nay, will much less than the old—be per.
!pitted to record their votes freely and conscientiously.
And to this fact, no doubt, is due much of the strength
and emphasis with which the old cry for protection to the
voter has been revived—much of the truly remarkable
awnt which it has received.

The Standard considers it one of the peculiar charms of
Lord Amberley's character that he is always open to con-
viction. He may differ from you to-day, but if you
can show him a very good reason why he should turn
his back upon himself, he will be heart and soul with

you to-morrow. On the occasion of his candidature
for Leeds, the noble lord was sorely perplexed about
the six-pound franchise, and eventually announced that,

with his then perceptions, ho conld not vote for it ;
but the suasive eloquence and the powerful logic of the

Radicals made a convert of him in less than twenty-four

hours. They passed a resolution to the effect that Lord.
Amberley was n6t the man for Leeds; and what was the

res:dt ? His lordship took a stroll through the town Om
next morning, and was enabled to announce to a public
meeting the same evening that his familiar experience of
the artisan classes of Leeds warranted him in retracting his

determination of a few hours back, and in voting for the
six-pound franchise. Whatever may be the circumstances

which have brought about the result, it is the fact that
Lord Amberley is now at the disposal of the electors of
South Devon. He comes forward under peculiar circum•
stances. The sentiments and traditions of the constituency
deprive a Liberal candidate of the faintest chance of
success unless he can manage to enlist upon his side that
strong family Whig influence which Lord Amberley's
relationship may enable him to command. Secure of this,
Lord Amberley rushes down to Plymouth as a candidate
upon immaculately pure principles. The Standard dis-
cusses Lord Amberley's views on different matters, but
would like to know more of his new crochet, the Malthwian
theory,

CRIMINAL COURT.—This Day.

NEW COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
THE CHARGE AGAINST MADAME RACHEL.
This extraordinary trial was resumed this morn-
ing. The first witness called was
Charles Linton, a youth in the service of Mr.
Lewis, linendraper, Holborn, who said he was for-
merly in the office of Mr. Taylor, an attorney.
After office hours he used to go to Madame
Rachel's to fill up his hours of employment.
He used to write letters for her, and when he did
so on one occasion there was a young man and
Madame Rachel's daughter present. lie always
gave the letter he wrote to Aldine. Rachel. He
recollected copying a letter, which, when done, she
handed to the young gentleman called " Edward,"
who, he thought., was Mdzne. Rachel's son. This
person said the writing was too much like a school-
boy's, and that therefore he would write a better
one. Something was said about Mrs. Borradaile
coming. This took place in January, '67. Toe
letters handed to him are those he copied from. lie
recollected the one marked " 12" particularly.
By Mr. Digby Seymour—fle was examined at
Marlborough -street, but the letter 12 was not
shown to him. 11e first saw letter 12 at Mr
Lewis's office on Saturday last. Ile had a perfect
recollection of the letter. He had been in the em-
ploy of a Mr. Taylor, who had some disputed ac-
count with Madame Rachel, but he had never been
told by her or any one not to come again to her
house on the ground of impertinence.
Mr. Joseph Haynes said he practised as a solici-
tor at Palace-chambers, Westminster. He was the
mortgagee of the house Madame Rachel occupied.
He first became acquainted with her in 1866, when
she told him that a lady owed her £BOO, and that
if he would make an appointment she would bring
her the next day, in order that arrangements might
be made to sell out some stock, and out of the
proceeds he was to deduct the rent due to
him, £126, for six
.mouths. Stock to the
amount of over £9OO was sold out on the 6th of
June, and the money was placed iu the bank. His
first acquaintance with Mrs. Borradaile commenced
on the 14th of that month, and then the matter
talked about was the realising some property for
the payment of some debts for which she was being
sued. He raised £1,340, between £BOO and £9OO
of which was paid to Madame Rachel, and
the remainder was left in his hands. He
ultimately paid that amount also to Madame
Rachel. A mortgage deed was then executed
to him of some property, as he had a balance of
£544 against Mrs. Borradaile. The property was
afterwards sold and realised about £1,400, out of
which he deducted the balance due to himself, viz.,
£544, and the remainder he paid to Madame
Rachel.
By Mr. Digby Seymour—Mrs. Borradaile told
him she required money to pay her debts, and that
she owed Madame Rachel £BOO. She also told him
she had given bills and I 0 U to Madame Rachel,
which were to be given up when the £1,400 Was
paid. She said she was going to be married to her
cousin, Capt. William Edwards, who was a relative
of Lord Kensington's. Madame Rachel remon-
strated with Mrs. Borradaile about her extrava-
gance as he had previously done. lie should never
forget the scene that took place. Madame Rachel
told Mrs. Borradaile that she was squandering her
money on her paramour. He told Madame Rachel
she ought to be ashamed of herself for using such
expressions.

By Sergeant Ballantine—The reason the letters in
his possession had become public was that he wished
one particular letter to be seen by the magistrate,
and it being in a bundle with others, he handed them
in, and he had never been able to get them back.
He had told Madame Rachel that she would oue
day have to account for the large sums she had re-
ceived from Mrs. Borradaile, and that it would be
for her own protection that everything should be
clear and plain.
Thomas Reynold Jones, Viscount Ran elagh, said
—I know Madame Rachel. I have frequently been
in her shop. I never empowered her to use my
name in any way-, neither have I ever authorised
her to borrow £lO for me. I have never passed by
the names of either " William" or "Edward." The
letter written upon a sheet of paper bearing a coro-
net never came from me. I never use paper stamped
with my arms. I have some with a monogram, but
none of the d_scription that has been spoken of.
Mr. Digby S .ymour—l must ask you some ques-
tions. What took you to Madame Rachel's shop?
Viscount Ranelagh—l shall be very happy to 'cell
you, as I have been so enamelled with this scan -
dal— (loud laughter)—that I shall be glad to give
every information and explanation in my power.
Mr. D. Seymour—What took you first to her
shop ?

Viscount Rtnelagh—l never went there to be
enamelled. (Laughter.)
Mr. D. Seymour—Say what took you there.
Viscount Ranelagh—Originally curiosity. I
wished to see the person who had got such large
sums from various ladies. I made a few trifling
purchases on the occasion. After that, as Madame
Rachel received trifles in china and other matters
for sale on commission, and as the shop was in the
neighbourhood of my residence, and the dour was
always open, I occasionally went in, as I have
done various other shops. I am very anxious that
everything should be known about this most un-
pleasant affair.
Mr. D. Seymour—Did you ever give your card
to Mrs. Borradaile?—Never.
Did you once see Mrs. Borradailo iu Madame
Rachel's shop ?—I did.
Were you ever in her company more than once ?
—Yes, in the family solicitor's office, but never to
speak to her.
Is it a fact that she was once introduced to you ?
—I have no recollection of such a circumstance.
When did you first communicate with your soli-
citor ?—On the 27th of Nov., 1867, in consequence
of the claim of
.Mrs. Borradailo.
Had it come to your knowledge that your name
had been mentioned to Mrs. Borradaile ?--In-
directly ithad, but I communicated with my solici-
tor in consequence of the claim of Madame Rachel ;
that was the first letter I ever received from Mrs.
Borradaile. Subsequently I received eight or six.
I have them all here.
Will you let me ace them ?-1 shall only be too
glad.

Sergeant Ballantine—You say you have never
handed your card to Mrs. Borradaile ?—I have
already said so.
Do you recollect ever being at Madame Rachel's
when any other lady was present ?—Yes, I think
so, once.

Was it Mrs. Borradaile ?—I rather think not. I
know Madame Valeria, the sister of Mr. Fechter,
the actor, was there.
Then your only intercourse with Madame Rachel
was calling at her shop?-That is all. I have
never met her, or have seen her or her daughters.
She has a shop in another part of London, and also
in Paris, but I have never been in either of them.
Capt. William Edwards said his family was dis-
tantly connected with Mrs. Borradaile's. lie never
heard of the matter which was now the subject of
investigation by the court until he saw it in the
public newspapers.
Sergeant Ballantine—May I ask the connection
that exists between the two families ?
Capt. Edwards—l have been told by some of the
elder branches of my family that my great-grand-
father and Mrs. Borradaile's great-grandfather were
cousins. (Loud laughter.)
Mr. Cope, brother-in-law of the prosecutrix, said
he had called upon Madame Rachel to know fur
what she had received such large sums of money
from Mrs. Borradaile, and whether there was any
truth in the proposed marriage with Lord Rane-
lagh. She said she knew nothing about it ; and he
then told Madame Rachel he should place the whole
affair in the hands of a solicitor. No claim was
made by Madame Rachel for any money owing her
from Mrs. Borradaile.
Mrs. Borrodaile recalled, and, in answer to Mr.
D. Seymour, said she recollected writing a letter
containing a card,'.l9ut she could not say whether it
passed through the post. The letter was dictated

by Madame Rachel, but she (prosecutrix) was cer-
tain she never posted it.

A number of other letters were then pulin, the
tenour of which was that her family were making
inquiries about the matter, that she had told them
as little as she could, and complaining that her
" naughty old Tommy" had given up her letters to
her solicitors. All these Mrs. Borrodaile said she
wrote at the dictation of Madame Rachel. She
had frequently asked Madame Rachel the reason
for writing such stupid letters, but she never got
any good reason.
This was the case for the prosecution.

In answer to the Recorder, the prosecutrix said
that in writing to " Tommy," telling him of her
love for William, she believed the object was to
create jealousy. (Laughter.)
Mr. Dighy Seymour then opened the case for the
defence.

The case was preceding when we went to press.

[The following is the concluding portion of yesterday's
evidence :
Mrs. Borrodaile s dd—Madame Rachel told
her she would require a trousseau fur the marri
and Mr. Procter, of Brompton, brought what was
required, for which she paid £l6). She never
received one single article, and when she
asked Madame Rachel about it, and how she
was to do the thing, Rachel always told her to
ask dear William for them. Rachel induced
her to send for her plate from Cheltenham,
and to bring it to her house, as she said
it was better that every thing should be
together—(laughter) —as she was going to be mar-
ried. She had also given her all her rings and
jewellery "to pack" with the other things, but
she had never seen them after she had once
parted with them. She had frequently asked Madame
Rachel about them, but never could get any other
answer than that she was to ask Lord Ranelagh for
them. On one occasion when oho was at Rachel's
shop, Rachel brought her a lighted cigar, which
she said was Lord Ranelagh's, and she told her
his love was as warm as his cigar. (Laughter.)
She subsequently executed a bond to the amount
of £1,600, as Madame Rachel had told her she had
given all her money to Lord Ranelagh, and that
money was required for making her beautiful
for ever. (Laughter.) She was arrested in
the month of December, after she had executed
the bond. Madame Rachel came to see her in pri•
son ; whilst there she executed another document
at Rachel's suggestion in order to get released.
She had never received any single article of her
property back from Madame Rachel, neither had
she received any consideration other than that she
had mentioned for the money. She parted with
the money solely on the representations of Madame
Rachel that Lord Ranelagh adored her. She never
would have parted with it but for those repre-
sentations.
Cross-examined by Mr. Digby Seymour—She
objected to tell her age. She was married very young,
and had been in India, and always moved in the beat
society. Could not recollect whether, when she went
first to Madame Rachel's, she did not have much
conversation. Rachel told her the groundwork of
her process was not by stopping up the pores of the
skin or by painting the face, which must be dis-
' gusting to every right-minded person, but simply
by cleanliness and the use of the Arabian bath. She
did not tell her that her regular charge for her
whole process was 1000 guineas. All that Rachel
did for her in 1864-5 she paid her pl7O. She never
ran a bill with Rachel for toilette requisites. She took
her first bath in 1861. On the 16th of May, 1866,
she was first introduced to Lord Ranelagh, and
after that she took her baths at Davis-street, not
in Madame Rachel's house. Madame Rachel had
said something to her about gentlemen seeing her
(prosecutrix) in the bath. She declined to say
what it was. Mrs. Hicks never said she should not
have a bath at Davis-street, because she had reported
that she had been peeped at by gentlemen whilst so
engaged. Mrs. Hicks might swear that she had said
so—she: may be here for that purpose—but she
(prosecutrix) was quite ready to swear, in fact she
had sworn, she had not said so. When she was

first introduced to Lord Ranelagh he gave her his
card. He was not there above five minutes, and
all that was said was said by Madame Rachel. She
believes Lord Ranelagh said something about some
private theatricals going on at Beaufort House,
but that they were not good enough for her
to see. She always believed that Lord Ranelagh
intended to marry her. During her married life at
Brompton she could not say her husband had men-
tioned Lord itanelagh's name. She had always
lived a virtuous and prudent woman. She could
swear he never visited at their house. Until Ma-
dame Rachel introduced her she never knew any-
thing about him. After Madame Rachel's treat-

men her skin was perhaps a little improved, but
not much. (Loud laughter.) She had nothing
done to her hair; that was cut by a lady in
Bond-street, who had attended to it for the last
sixteen years ; no one else ever touched it
(Laughter.) It was all her own—(loud laughter)
—and so was her complexion. (Loud laughter.)
She might, however, use a little of the " auriculons"
for her hair now and then, but nothing else. (Loud
laughter.) She had never borrowed a shilling from
Madame Rachel upon an I 0 U. She could not
deny that the paper put into her hand (a receipt
for £5OO from Madame Rachel) was in her hand-
writing, but she could not say how tshe came to
write it. She knew she never had a shilling from
Madame Rachel by way of loan. Rachel had al-
ways immense influence over her. Another long
list of sums, amounting to £1,660,1was altogether a
fiction, as she had never had a single penny from
Madame Rachel. Another letter, dated George-
street, addressed to Mr. Haynes, asking him to pay
out of the £1,600 he would receive over £l,OOO to
Rachel, and directing him to obtain various bills and
I 0 U's from her, was also in herhandwriting, butshe
could not say how she came to do it. (Laughter.)
Madame Rachel, she supposed, had bewitched her.
She controlled her in everything, and dictated
everything she wrote on paper. She never told
Mr. llaynes that she was about to marry Captain
William Edwardes, her cousin, who was a relative
of Lord Kensington's. The Captain Wil-
liam Edwardes she thought she was going to
marry was Lord Ranelagh. Madame Rachel
never accused her of squandering her money
on her paramour. She was not quite certain about
ordering some shirts at Rogers's ; but she believed
that Madame Rachel and Lord Ranelagh wished her
to select some shirts, neckties, and
.socks for him.
She now knew Lord Ranelagh was not so rich as
Madame Rachel had stated.

Mr. D. Seymour—That he was hard up for a
shirt ? (Laughter.)
Winess—No ; that he was not rich.
Mr. D. Seymour—And that's the reason you
ordered some shirts for him.

Mr. D. Seymour—reading a letter—My dear
William,—It is very kind of you to take care of
my comb and frisette—(loud laughter)—which is
my own hair—you don't mean to say Madame
Rachel said that ?

Witness—Yes indeed she did. (Laughter.) I'll
sake my bonnet Off and show you if you like. (Loud
Laughter.)

Air. D'igby Seymour then called upon Mr.
Haynes, the solicitor, to produce a number of
letters of the prosecutrix, but the learned judge
said be should not give directions for such to be
done, as he thought they were privileged commu-
nications.

Re-examined by Sergeant Ballantine—All the
letters referred to in this case were written from
time to time at Madame Rachel's, and were directed
to Captain Edwards, care of Madame Rachel.
She had no notion that Madame Rachel was
keeping those letters. She always' left the
letters with Madame Rachel and received
the answers to them from her hands. She had
never during her residence in London received any
communication from " William." Madame Rachel

always said, when she took the letters, that she was

goingto see her affianced husband. Sheinew nothing
of the imaginary personages referred to in the corre-
spondence. All was the pure inveßton of Rachel.
There had been some talk about persons peeping
into the bath ; one person especially had been
coupled with her name.
Sergeant Ballantine—Who was that?

Witness—Am I obliged to mention the name
Sergeant Ballantine—Yeti.

Witness—Then it was Lord Ranelagh's. Madame
Rachel told her that in the eyes of the Almighty
Lord Ranelagh was her husband, as he had seen her
more than a dozen times in her bath.

Sergeant Ballan tine—ls it true that you have had
large sums of money from Madame Rachel ?
Witness—lt is entirely and tot dly untrue to say
that I have ever borrowed a single penny from
Madame Rachel. Madame Rachel always told her
that she had placed the money she had received
from her at Scott's bank for Lord Ranelagh's use.
The further hearing of this case was adjourned
until to-marrow.
