THE CANDIDATES FOR MIDDLESEX

---- -
There is a very pretty little quarrel going on just
now between Lord Enfield and Mr. Labouchere, the
candidates for Middlesex. Mr. Labouchere seems
to have a love of quarrels, or he is very unfortunate.
Not very long ago he attracted the attention of
Homburg by a row which he had in the Kursaal
with a man who, he said, was not fit to associate with
ladies. Now he has quarrelled with Lord Enfield.
What it is all about one can hardly understand with
only Mr. Labouchere's story before us. But it would
seem as if Lord Enfield wanted to spend all the
money and have all the arrangements in his own
hands. To this Mr. Labouchere would not agree,
except on condition that he should be allowed
to inform his friends of the arrangement. Lord
Enfield objected. High words, or low language—
Saxon English, Mr. Harvey Lewis would call it—
seems to have followed. Mr. Labouchere called my
lord " a sneak," and similar compliments were passed.
The result is that the candidates are separated in their
canvass. A meeting of the electors has been held asking
for an explanation. Lord Enfield would not attend,
but Mr. Labouchere presented the explanation.
Ultimately a motion was carried, " That at the en-
suing election for Middlesex the electors be urged and
recommended to give their votes to both Liberal can-
didates."

REMARKS.

Barometrical pressure has decreased at all stations, especially on
our E. coast, where the ehango is o'29in. at Yarmouth. Readings are
still very high in the N. and W., and exceed that at Yarmouth by
about three-tenths. Temperature has fallen in the south of England
and Ireland, whilst a corresponding rise is perceived in the N. Light
variable winds were prevalent ye,tcrday : this morning a north.
easterly wind is reported from the N. of England and the French
coast, but elsewhere the wind is northerly and light. Cloudy
weather is general, with fog and mist in the S.W. Much fog and
lightning are reported from the N.V. coast, and a little rain has
Callen iu the E, of England.

TEE TRIUMPH OF THE TELEGRAPH.

The 'lavas Agency gravely sent the following telegram
to the Paris journals a day or two ago :

" Constantinople, Nov. 7.
"The Armenian Patriarch Echmiandjin has arrived at
Constantinople from Russia, in order to found an Arme-
nian school of theology in the Turkish capital, at the
expense of the Russian Government."
The " Patriarch " Echmiandjin is a town, or rather
an immense Armenian monastery ! There is no Patriarch
of the name, nor does any reside in the place. Never-
theless, the Etendard thinks this announcement is of much
importance. Though no town made its way from Russia
to Constantinople, yet an Armenian legate did, and his
object is to intrigue on behalf of Russia, with the view of
gaining over to Muscovite power the Armenians in the
Ottoman Empire. Echmiandjin is the Armenian Vatican,
and stands on Russian ground. This is simply the
beginning of another great Russian intrigue.
London, England, 1868-11-14

CAPITAL PllNlftiftiT IN SWEDEN.

The King of Sweden has done a very strange thing. He
has refused to sign a death-warrant against a woman con-
victed by one of the tribunals of poisoning. His Majesty
declared, at the same time, that for the future no capital
execution should take place in his kingdom, and that
if the death penalty were not abolished by law he desired
it to cease in fact. The King of Sweden
ought to know the extent of his prerogative, but this
action certainly implies the possession of greater power
than is laid down by the letter of the Swedish Constitu-
tion. The sovereign has an absolute veto on all the
decrees of the Diet, and possesses legislative power in
matters of provincial administration and police. But if
these rights enable him to systematically nullify an esta-
blished law of the land, he must be about the most despotic
monarch in Europe.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
London, England, 1868-11-14

AN INTERESTING STUDY.

Rather an interesting investigation is opened up
by the Beehive. Our contemporary, in the style which
is much admired by some newspaper readers, declares
that the spirits of our forefathers are watching our
actions at the coming elections. The ghosts of John
Milton and Oliver Cromwell are at our elbow, and
they are anxiously awaiting our vote. The Beehive
thinks that no man can doubt how the author
of " Paradise Lost " and how " Old Noll " would
vote, wer3 they yet alive. But these are
only two. Which side would Shakspeare have
taken ? Maybe " the Venerable Bede " would
have been on John Stuart Mill's committee. What
do llengist and Horsa, looking down upon us, think
of Mr. Disraeli ? Caractacus may perhaps be
deploring on.behalf of the Irish clergy that men who
live in such magnificence in England should envy
the humble parsonage in Ireland. Here is a fine
field for the mystic' and the spiritualist.

THE ISSUE OF THE WHITS.

The writs commanding the elections have been
issued, and after much expense have been placed in
the hands of the returning officers. Thereon the
Daily News moralises. We cling to old customs, old
traditions, and ancient usages. It is doubtful whether
any material change has been Made with regard to
the issue of these writs since the 12th of
December, 1264, when the Earl of Leicester
first called together an English Parliament.
The same phrases, ceremonies, and circumlocution.
The heralds are still employed at Edinburgh. Not-
withstanding the printing press, the documents are
still written. Notwithstanding the use of the rail-
way, there is the same time allowed for the messages
to travel to the farthest parts of the kingdom. Tele-
graphic wires are yet unused, and a great sum of
money is spent. The Daily News suggests that a
short Act of Parliament should abolish all this expen-
sive routine and the sinecures in connection with it,
and substitute a more economical system. In doing
this, other economies may be suggested which will be
of good to the country.

A RETIRING MAYOR.

During the late political excitement, the chief
magistrates of the different boroughs have had con-
siderable difficulty in directing their course. The Lord
Mayor of London retired from his office in popular
disgrace, and the formal vote of thanks was with
difficulty recorded. The Mayor of Wisbeach, how-
ever, has been such a thorough partisan, and has con-
ducted himself with so little discretion, that he
preferred to be absent from the council on the day of
the election of his successor, stating his reasons in a
letter which was read amid hisses. The customary
vote of thanks was omitted, and his name was taken
off all the committees with the exception of those
including the whole council. We believe this Con-
servative gentleman has attained a distinction beyond
any of his brethren in the kingdom.

MURDER WILL OUT.
There was a queer story told the other day aboit
Messrs. Bell, Gibbons, and Twells, the Conservative
candidates for the City of London. The Licensed
Victuallers waited on these gentlemen, were
received graciously, and listened to with atten-•
tion.. While the conference was going on, the
Licensed Victuallers' Asylum was mentioned. The
candidates professed to be much interested, and asked
" the nature of the institution." The whole thing was
explained to them. Their sympathy was brought
forth. They cordially agreed with the idea of the
institution. What should they do to help it on ?
Give ten guineas apiece. So ten guineas on behalf
of each candidate was handed over to the institution.
This would have been all very well but for the near
approach of the elections. Messrs. Bell, Gibbons,
and Twells had a perfect right to subscribe to the
asylum. Only, as it happens, there is a
powerful body of publicans in the City, and
the whole thing looks like bribery. Next
day the candidates, reading the report in the Stan-
dard, seem to have been struck with the fact that
they had made a mistake ; so the Standard was
instructed to deny the account which itself has pub-
lished. The denial was given. But, unfortunately,
facts cannot be thus smothered. And, now that the
story is re-asserted in the Liberal journals what have_
the worthy candidates to say to it ?

THE END OF THE REVOLT IN CRETE.

All is over with the Cretan insurrection, and nothing
now remains but to make terms. The Insurgent Com-
mittee have offered submission if the Porte will grant an
autonomy to Crete, with a representative government
and a Christian prince in the position of vassal of Turkey.
The English Ambassador, it is positively stated, has pre-
sented this requisition, without expressing any formal
opinion on the subject. The Porte, however, is said to
demand an unconditional surrender.

TIIE DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES.

The statement that England had taken the initiative,
with the Porte, in proposing to the Powers the forcible
restriction of the hostile preparations in Roumania against
Turkey has been contradicted in various quartet.
But the Memorial Diplomatique says that this much is
true: Lord Stanley has suggested that the treaties of 1856
and 1858, under which the political organisation of
Roumania is formed, should be subjected to a revision.
This proposition is now the subject of diplomatic inter-
changes between the guaranteeing States. Several of the
French official papers, however, contradict this second
statement.

THE PHIMACY.

The other day the Morning Advertiser stated that
a correspondent had learnt from a high quarter that
the Bishop of London having refused the Primacy,
the Archbishop of York had accepted it, and that the
Bishop of Os ford was to go to York. This was
largely quoted, and we noticed the report, at the
same time expressing strong doubts as to its authen-
ticity. After that the Globe, supposed to be the
recipient of official confidence, announced
the appointment of Dr. Thomson to Canterbury,
and of Dr. Wilberforce to York. A few hours
passed, and a contradiction appeared in its,, latest
edition. The announcement was a hoax. 1\ of dis-
couraged by these warnings, the Dallg News has reason
to believe that the Bishop of Ely is to be the new
archbishop. This is not a bad guess, if only a guess,
for such an appointment would perhaps conciliate
the various parties in the Church more than any
other. It would be a delicate task for Mr. Disraeli
to choose the Primate before the elections. After
them he may be inclined to take a bold course and
choose the best man, whoever he is.

TIIE FATAL ACCIDENT AT 11 ULL.—The inquest
respecting the &tails of Joseph Smith, Robert .I.lolsman,
James Woolston, Francis Harrison, George (Hillard,
William Atkinson, Thomas Ombler, and John Brewer,
at Hull, was concluded yesterday. It will be remem-
bered that the above persons wore killed in conse-
quence of the falling of an old building, part of which
was used as a seed warehouse. The jury returned a vef-
diet of accidental death, and added the following recom-
mendation:—" They, the jury, seeing that the Board of
Health appear to have no power to inspector old build-
ings previous to being used as warehouses for storing
large quantities of seed, &c., remmmend that an applica-
tion be made to her Majesty's Secretary of State that some
legislative measure be enacted for the supervision of such
buildings.

TUE ISSUE OF TIIE WRITS.

The Writs commanding the elections have been
issued, and after much expense have been placed in
the hands of the returning officers. Thereon the
Daily News moralises. We cling to old customs, old
traditions, and ancient usages. It is doubtful whether
any material change has been made with regard to
the issue of these writs since the 12th of
December, 1264, when the Earl of Leicester
first called together an English Parliament.
The same phrases, ceremonies, and circumlocution.
The heralds are still employed at Edinburgh. Not-
withstanding the printing press, the documents are
still written. Notwithstanding the use of the rail-
way, there is the same time allowed for the messages
to travel to the farthest parts of the kingdom. Tele-
graphic wires are yet unused, and a great sum of
money is spent. The Daily News suggests that a
short Act of Parliament should abolish all this expen-
sive routine and the sinecures in connection with it,
and substitute a more economical system. In doing
this, other economies may be suggested which will be
of good to the country.

TILE CANDIDATES FOR MIDDLESEX
There is a very pretty little quarrel going on just
now between Lord Enfield and Mr. Labouchere, the
candidates for Middlesex. Mr. Labouchere seems
to have a love of quarrels, or he is very unfortunate.
Not very long ago he attracted the attention of
Homburg by a row which he had in the Kursaal
with a man who, he said, was not fit to associate with
ladies. Now he has quarrelled with Lord Enfield.
What it is all about one can hardly understand with
only Mr. Labouchere's story before us. But it would
seem as if Lord Enfield wanted to spend all the
money and have all the arrangements in his own
hands. To this Mr. Labouchere would not agree,
except on condition that he should be allowed
to inform his friends of the arrangement. Lord
Enfield objected. High words, or low language—
Saxon English, Mr. Harvey Lewis would call it—
seems to have followed. Mr. Labouchere called my
lord " a sneak," and similar compliments were passed.
The result is that the candidates are separated in their
canvass. A meeting of the electors has been held asking
for an explanation. Lord Enfield would not attend,
but Mr. Labouchere presented the explanation.
Ultimately a motion was carried, " That at the en-
suing election for Middlesex the electors be urged and
recommended to give their votes to both Liberal can-
didates."

THE PRIMACY.

The other day the Morning Advertiser stated that
a correspondent had learnt from a high quarter that
the Bishop of London having refused the Primacy,
the Archbishop of York had accepted it, and that the
Bishop of Os ford was to go to York. This was
largely quoted, and we noticed the report, at the
same time expressing strong doubts as to its authen-
ticity. After that the Globe, supposed to be the
recipient of official confidence, announced
the appointment of Dr. Thomson to Canterbury,
and of Dr. Wilberforce to York. A few hours
passed, and a contradiction appeared in its latest
edition. The announcement was a hoax. Not dis-
couraged bythese warnings, the Daily News has reason
to believe that the Bishop of Ely is to be the new
archbishop. This is not a bad guess, if only a guess,
for such an appointment would perhaps conciliate
the various parties in the Church more than any
other. It would be a delicate task for Mr. Disraeli
to choose the Primate before the elections. After
them he may be inclined to take a bold course and
choose the best man, whoever he is.

THE DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES.

The statement that England had taken the initiative,
with the Porte, in proposing to the Powers the forcible
restriction of the hostile preparations in Roumania against
Turkey has been contradicted in various quarters.
But the Memorial Diplomatique says that this much is
true : Lord Stanley has suggested that the treaties of 18.56
and 1858, under which the political organisation of
Roumania is formed, should be subjected to a revision.
This proposition is now the subject of diplomatic inter
changes between the guaranteeing States. Several of the
French official papers, however, contradict this second
statement.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

The Rev. Prebendary Wilkinson has been making
a remarkable speech at a Glastonbury meeting in
favour of the Liberal candidates for Mid-Somerset.
Of Mr. Disraeli he said that with him politics are not
a part of religion. Younger men may accept him
as a consummate actor, older men remember too much.
Mr. Gladstone, with all his faults, was honest, and had
followed the dictates of conscience to his own hurt.
He had changed, but had never gained by the change.
The speaker candidly announced his conviction, amid
great cheering, that the days of all religious esta-
blishments in this country were numbered. Let us
not vainly attempt to check the advance of the prin-
ciples of religious equality, nor fight against God's
moral government of the world. He begged that
they would not abuse those who read the signs of the
times, and he prophesied a glorious future for the
Church if the State left her alone.
The Rector of Lanivet has thrown in his lot with
those who desire the disestablishment of the Irish
Church. At a meeting on behalf of Mr. Gower, the
Liberal candidate for Bodmin, the reverend gentleman
stated that never in his life had he voted for a
Liberal, but that now he should support the came.
He said : " The State Church in Ireland had been a
standing grievance to the Irish, a Church thrust
on the people, nine-tenths of whom were Roman
Catholics, and who grudgingly paid the tithe for the
support of the worship of the other tenth."

AMERICA.

The General Convention of the American Episcopal
Church has been in session, and has devoted much of its
time tq the subject of Ritualism. A committee was
appointed to consider the question first, and this com-
mittee adopted a compromise report, the majority con.
sidering that decency, order, and harmony should -be
maintained in the Church, but that it was inexpedient to
enact any canon against Ritualism. The matter
was then discussed at great length in convention,
the delegates, lay and clerical, sustaining the con-
troversy with great ability. The result was the adoption
of a series of compromise resolutions requesting the House
of Bishops to " set forth for the consideration and adop-
tion by the next General Convention of such additional
rubrics to the Book of Common Prayer as in their judg-
ment may be deemed necessary ;" and that " meanwhile,
in all matters doubtful, reference should be made to the
ordinary, and no changes should be made against the
counsel and judgment of the bishop." This virtually
gives the Ritualists the victory for the next six or nine
years.

The Convention has passed resolutions of condolence at
the death of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
The Toronto Globe states that the great majority of the
girls taken out to Canada by Miss Eye have turned out
remarkably well. Nothing could be more unfair than to
assert that tl., introduction of these girls had been an
injury to the country.
