THE LAST OF THE ELECTIONS.

The Scotch universities decline to follow the
example of the Irish university ; they object to be
temporary resting-places for Conservative lawyers
on their way to promotion. During the last Parlia-
ment Dublin University changed its representatives
nearly half a dozen times. Glasgow and Aberdeen
had been asked to accept a Conservative Lord
Advocate in esse ; but while he was undergoing his
election he ceased to hold office, and his opponent,
the Liberal Lord-Advocate in posse, was named as
his successor: The result is that Mr. Moncreiff
has beaten Mr. Gordon, a very able man, by
forty-seven votes, after a very close run, in
which both candidates polled over 2,000 votes. It
is a remarkable fact that the Scotch will never elect
a law officer of a Conservative Government. The
outgoing Solicitor-General for Scot'and, Mr. Millar,
has never yet entered Parliament ; Mr. Gordon sat for
Thetford ; Lord Justice Clerk Patton sat for a short
time for Bridgwater ; and Lord President Inglis
represented Stamford. With Mr. Moncreiff's election
the new House of Commons is complete. It has
taken exactly three weeks to elect, the first member
having been chosen on November IG, and the last on
December 7.
The defeat of Mr. Gordon acids another to the list
of leading Conservative lawyers who have been un-
horsed in the electoral tournament. The English
kttomey-General and Solicitor-General, the Scotch
Lord-Advocate, Mr. llnddlestone, Mr. Gorst, Mr.
Garth, and Mr. E. K. Karslalie are among the slain.

order, while the Liberal benches were in that
respect woefully deficient. Since then the
number of the first who have been promoted
out of the House is legion, and the small remainder,
as we have seen, have been overthrown at the elec-
tions. At the present moment it is the Liberal
benches that are crowded, and there are at least half
a dozen men who have a right to expect office. These
are Sir R. Collier, Mr. Coleridge, Mr. Ayrton, and
Mr. Denman, who have already obtained a parlia-
mentary celebrity, and Mr. Vernon Harcourt and
Mr. Jessel, whose reputation precedes them.

THE NEWEST CONSERVATIVE MEASURE.

We pointed out some time ago that there were
signs and tokens of the Conservatives taking up the
question of the ballot. These indications are increas-
ing. " A Bristol Conservative " writes that "it was
literally unsafe to life and limb, not merely to vote
for Miles, but even to have a scrap of blue visible upon
one's person ; and that Conservative voters did not poll
after ten o'clock from a conviction, not so much of the
hopelessness as of the recklessness of doing so. There-
fore," he adds, " we may, without fear of any charge
of an abandonment of our principles, declare in
favour of the ballot." Unfortunately for the advo-
cates of the ballot, it is only the Conservatives in
towns who are prepared to support it. The clergy
and the squirearchy would oppose it the uttermost,
for with it they would never have won the counties
as they have done at the late elections.

LORD CHANCELLOR CAIRNS.

Lord Cairns, in presiding over the Court of Chan-
cery for the last time, had to dispose of a notable
case—the celebrated ovill's patent. This case has
been litigated for many years. Mr. Bovill, the
brother of the Chief Justice of Common Pleas,
several years ago invented and patented machinery
for improving the grinding of flour. This patent
has been infringed by a large number of millers, and
Mr. Bovill has brought actions to maintain his
rights. He has won his suits in the lower courts,
and the millers thereupon formed themselves into
an association for appealing to the higher. This
appeal has just been heard, and ex-Lord Chancellor
Cairns said that the association had failed to prove
prior user ; the appeal must therefore be dismissed
with costs. At the same time, he said that he could
not terjninate his sitting there without expressing
his thanks to the bar for the very cordial and able
assistance he had received from them, not only since
he had presided in that court, but also during
the period when he had the honour to fill the office
of Lord Justice. Thus after nine months termi-
nated, at all events for the present, the official career
of one of the ablest judges who ever presided over
the courts at Lincoln's-inn.
THE NEWEST CONSERVATIVE MEASURE.

We pointed out some time ago that there were

ELECTION PETITIONS.

The number of election petitions is rapidly increas-

has petitioned against the return of Mr. Gower for
Bodmin, Mr. Tillett against that of Sir H. Stracey
for Norwich, Sir L. M'Clintock against that of
Mr. Whitworth for Drogheda, and that Mr. Smith,
the Liberal M. P. for Stoc pkort, will have
to stand an ivestigation. To tkese we have to
add the names of four Conservative M.P.'s, whose
election for Liberal boroughs took the Liberal party
by surprise. These are Messrs. Fowler and Eastwiek
for Falmouth, and Messrs. Charley and Cawley for
Salford.

HUNGARY.

PESTH, Dec. 9.

In yesterday's sitting of the Lower House of the
Hungarian Diet, Herr von Gorove, the Minister of
Commerce, declared that the ensign to be borne on
the new common flag of the empire would shortly
be communicated to the foreign Powers.
In the evening, in consequence of the opposition
to the second clause of the bill regulating the powers
of court-martial, that clause was withdrawn by the
Government.

The bill introduced by some member of the Left
on electoral disqualification was rejected by 209
against 113 votes.

An imperial decree has been published ordering
that the law relative to the constitution of the lion-
ved army shall at once come into operation.
The appointment of the Archduke Joseph to the
command of the llonved was met with universal
approval.

General Klapka Perezel and Velter have been re-
instated in their military ranks as generals in the
Hungarian army.

FOREIGN NOTES.

THE RUPTURE BETWEEN TURKEY AND GREEM

The Porte has first sent an ultimatum to Greece,ond
has then broken off diplomatic relations with the Govern-
ment of Athens without waiting for an answer. Even if
the earliest intelligence only be correct, there is much
reason to apprehend a war between the two countries ;
but if the Turquie have good ground for its
statement, that the Porte has decided to suspend
all intercourse with the Greek Government, it is
hardly possible to hope that a conflict can be averted.
There has been no lack of provocation on the part of the
smaller State. A large sum has been advanced to the
volunteers who were to prolong or renew the insurrection
in Crete, and the Greek arsenals at Nauplia have been
ordered to furnish the insurgents with guns and
munitions of war. The action of the Government
at Athens has lately become so open and unre-
served as to lead to the belief that support has been
promised from without. A few days ago one of the officers
at the head of a band of volunteers defiled, with colours
flying, under the very windows of the Ottoman Legation.
At the same time the Porte has so suddenly assumed a
decisive policy, after a long period of hesitation, as to give
just reason for the suspicion that some supporter of Turkey
is also in the background. She has right on her side, and her
ultimatum has been sanctioned by England, Austria, and
Trance; but it is thought that some more special as-
sistance must •have been promised. The Inth-pcnclance
Beige believes that the ultimatum is due chiefly to Austria.
This State has, next to Turkey, most at stake in the
Eastern question. It is well known that Baron Beust
has of late displayed so much activity in Eastern
affairs as to excite the hostility of the independent
press at Vienna. The Belgian paper adds that
the French Government, which is on good terms
with Austria at present, is dissatisfied with the excessive
interference of the Vienna Government in the policy of
Turkey, both as regards Roumania and Greece. That
stormy petrel, the Liberte, thinks the great war is going to
break out at last. On the other hand, a telegram from
Constantinople says that Russia is about to interfere in
order to produce a peaceful settlement.

her about three years and a half ago, and had never
contributed anything towards the support of her-
self and children since. When she last heard of
him he was cohabiting with another woman.
Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the applicant whether her
husband said anything about going away ?
The applicant said he often threatened to do so,
and that he had treated her very badly before going
away, illusing her and neglecting his children, and
she was now anxious to have her little property she
gained by her hard work protected.
Mr. 'Tyrwhitt granted the order.

RUPTURES.-BY ROYAL LETTERS PATENT.

WHITE'S MOO-MAIN LEVER TRUSS
(Perfected and Exhibited in the Great Exhibitions
of 1851 and 1862) is allowed by upwards of Five Hundred
Medical men to be the most effective invention in
the curative treatment of HERNIA. The use of a steel
spring, so often hurtful in its effects, is here avoided—a
soft bandage being worn round the body, while the requi-
site resisting power is supplied by the Moo-Main Pad and
Patent Lever, fitting with so much ease and closeness that
it cannot be detected, and may be worn during sleep. A
descriptive circular may be had, and the truss, which can-
rot fail to fit, forwarded by post, on the circumference of
the body, two inches below the hips, being sent to the
manufacturer,

FREEMASONS.

It has hitherto been supposed that the proceedings
of Freemasonry were altogether a secret, and that
the members were forbidden to divulge them. Many
a wife has sighed in vain to know something of the
mysterious orgies which had such fascination for her
husband, and of which she could learn no more than
that there was excellent eating and drinking. Some
one, whether a traitor in the camp or a spy, we cannot
say, has drawn up the curtain. The other day a con-.
temporary contained a circumstantial account of the
opening of a lodge at Leeds. The Freemasons appear to
be advanced Ritualists. There was consecration of corn
And wine and oil, marching round the room with
cengAys, singing of odes, and turning to the East.
Now we have the account of another ceremony at
;_,;.t the details are comparatively meagre.
WSheefliale.
e told of anthems and an oration. The inevit-
able " sumptuouts repast, with the usual loyal and
masonic toasts" is nob Forgotten. Is it possible that
the Elcusynian mysteries are at last revealed to the
vulgar, and that the Freeiht: son in future is to be
nothing more than a man who .pats and drinks and
sings, as other 'good fellows do ?‘

LUGGAGE.

.amid travellers may take comfort, and need no
longer surround the luggage-vans of the trains,
appealing to the porters for "my luggage," and in-
dicating the same by excited flourishes of sharp.
pointed sticks and umbrellas at the risk of their
fellow-travellers' sight. The judge of the North
Staffordshire County Court has just decided that a
railway company is responsible for luggage, whether
properly addressed or not. He held that it was their
duty, either by a uniform system of labelling, or by
ome other effectual way, to guard against the possi-

GERMANY.

The Emperor of the French, says the Journal de Path,
addressed an autograph letter to Count von Goltz prior
to that statesman's departure for Berlin. The terms of
this farewell—for it is little likely that the Count will ever
return to Paris as a diplomatist, produced so deep an
impression at the German Court, that King William
charged M. Benedetti to convey to the Imperial writer the
expression of profound gratitude for this mark of good will
to one of Prussia's most faithful agents.

The bill for the sequestration of the property of the
deposed German princes is " progressing favourably."
Count Bismarck himself is anxious to have it amongst the
orders of the day as soon as possible. Some interesting, if
not stormy, debates may be anticipated when the measure is
formally brought before the Chambers. The Prime
Minister is said to be desirious of speaking, in order to
deny a saying attributed to him in allusion to the arms of
George the Fifth's kingdom—" We must hamstring the
Hanoverian horse."
