DRIVING THROUGH AN ACT OF PA.RLIA-

MENT.

It Is a proverb that any Act of Parliament can be driven
thrGugh in a coach and six. The Refreshment Houses Act
a case in point. The Act of 1864 provides that no
person within the limits of this Att shall open or keep
Dpen any refreshment house, or sell or expose for sale or
;onsumption in any refreshment house any refreshments
)r any article whatsoever, between the above-mentioned
'lours, namely, between the hours of one and four in the
morning. A refreshment-house keeper in the Haymarket
has been summoned for infringement of the Act. The
police visited the house at five minutes past one,
and found men and women drinking therein. In another
hour he went again and found some of them drunk. The
keeper of the house said they were lodgers. When he
went the door was closed, and his knock was
%nswered by "Too late." The watchword "Police,"
however, gained him admission. It was proved
that men and women were seen leaving the
house during prohibited hours. Mr. Tyrwhitt dismissed
the summons with evident regret, quoting several
judgments as precedents, but hinted that he would
rant one if the police consulted on the matter.
It appears to be a very simple thing to evade the Act.
The keepers swear that all the refreshments were served
before one, and though the police know better they cannot
prove it. A landlord is not bound to turn out his cus-
tomers on the stroke of one, and thus the Act is worthless.
The neighbourhood of the Haymarket is full of places
where supper and drink can be had almost at any time.

INTIMIDATION.

Each side charges the other with intimidation. *On
the one band, the Liberals are complaining bitterly of
aristocratic " influence," of the " screw" being put on,
of clergymen frightening their flocks and driving
them like geese to the polling-booth, and of general
interference on the part of the higher classes with
the consciences of those dependent in any
way upon them. There are stories of em-
ployers —as in Blackburn using all their
power to punish voters who do not "vote blue."
Clergymen seem to have used their "persuasive
talent" more than ever during the election. From
North Shropshire there is a tale about a vicar so
plainly laying down the law that the parishioners
told the Liberal canvassers that though they sympa-
thised with them they could not vote for them. On
the day of the polling the rev. gentleman marshalled
his elan, and took its members en masse to the booth,
watching well that they voted properly. There is
also recorded a conversation outside the polling-
booth between a IN'est Kent clergyman (who was
beating up those whom he knew) and his verger.
"Whomdo you vote for?" asked the cleric. " For the
other side—Angerstein and Lubbock," replied the
verger. "Horne, was the return of the rev. gentleman,
" you cease to be verger. We part from this
time." A Rev. Mr. Ward, who seconded Sir
John Acton's nomination at Bridgnorth, has caused
BO much offence, that many of the parishioners have
warned their incumbent that if Mr. Ward officiates
again they will leave the church.

But not from the Liberal side only do protests
come. The Conservative plaint is of mob interf erence—
of the general influence of numbers brought
to bear on particular votes. The provincial papers—
especially where (pace Dean Alford) a defeat was
"sustained "—contain something as follows :—" We
understand that many Conservative voters found it
impossible to record their votes, except at the risk of
grievous bodily injury, and even of life." One paper
goes so far as to say that every voter who gave in his
name for the Tories at a certain booth was more, or
less injured. The treatment received by Mr. IN al-
rond's supporters at Crediton is another case in
point.

BANKRUPTS AND PUBLIC COMPANIES.

It is not seldom that the value of shares in limited
liability companies requires a minus sign before it.
Responsibility pursues the unlucky holder, even when
he is relieved from the clutches of all other creditors.
A Mr. Hastie held shares in the General Estates
Company(Limited), and paid up £2 per share on 120
£2O shares. He afterwards became bankrupt, and the
creditors' assignee refused to take the shares as part
of his estate. The company was wound up after this,
and Mr. Hastie's name was put upon the list of con-
tributories by the official liquidator for these 120
shares, on each of which there was a liability of £lB.
The question of Mr. Hastie's liability came before
the Master of the Rolls, who decided against him.
Lord Romilly held that the case was plainly unpro-
vided for by the Legislature. The assignees could
not be made liable, and, as the law stood, Mr.
Hastie's name must remain on the list of con-
tributories. His lordship made the following
remarks :—" It would be well if Parliament
enacted that in all eases where assignees in
bankruptcy refused to adopt the shares of companies
as a portion of the estate, the company by whom they
were issued should be able to sell them ; and if they
refused so to do, the bankrupt should be allowed to
surrender them to be cancelled, and then, if he
neglected to do that after a specified time, he should
be liable for them himself." The case is certainly ono
of peculiar hardship, and its equity at least ques-
tionable.

CENTRAL AUTHORITY AND THE LOCAL GUARDIANS.

Though the Poor - law Board seems to have
gone to sleep suite Mr. Gathorne Hardy
left it, it still possesses power, and now and again
attempts to exercise it. But some of the metropolitan
guardians would rather that the Earl of Devon and
all his men would leave them alone. An order has
been issued from the Earl, joining for infirmary
purposes certain parishes around Holborn. But said
parishes don't want to be joined ; don't want an
infirmary; don't want to be interfered with. One
of the district boards met just after receiving the
order. They would not be the tools of the board;
they would not submit to the tyranny of Gwydyr
House ; they would not allow an additional burden
to be cast upon the ratepayers. The tactics of the
Poor-law Board were dishonest ; were attempts to
increase the rates ; were great jobs. One of the
guardians got very valiant, indeed, and defied the
Poor-law Board to act against their wishes. Ulti-
mately it was agreed that they would not do as they
wcrc told,.

ELECTION HUMOURS.

4.zi aged elector was brought up to the polling-
booth in Lincolnshire the other day. By a severe
intellectual effort he managed to confide his name
and address to the polling-clerk, but when asked for
whom he would record his vote there arose a diffi-
culty. He had entirely forgotten. The four
names were called out, but the difficulty was
not solved. He said it was " none of those."
It was too late for a new candidate to be nominated
for him, and so they shewed him the card. He could not
read. Luckily, the name occurred to him by a
sudden inspiration, and he mentioned a local solicitor.
For him and for no other would he record his vote.
The solicitor was sent for, and educated the man up
to voting point. This gentleman had probably can-
vassed the electors, and had done his work so effec-
tually as to obscure the old man's feeble political
convictions in unbounded admiration for himself.

THE CHILDREN'S REVIVAL.

There have been some curious accounts recently in
circulation as to some proceedings in Mr. Spurgeon's
Tabernacle, during which that gentleman apparently
forgot St. Paul's dictum about " milk for babes" and
" meat for strong men." We read of numbers of
little children quaking with dread at the picture of -
eternal punishment presented to their imagina-
tion, and weeping hysterically at the forcible
appeals made to them for their souls' welfare.
We understand that at the revivals the lecturer
wore a crown of thorns, and by a magnetic hammer
and nails illustrated how Our Lord would draw little
children to him. He invited those who had found
Jesus to hold up their hands. Several did so. When
he told them that a friend of his had given a tea to,
converted children, and asked them, if he gave a tea,
how many would have come to it having
found Jesus, more than ten times the number
of hands were held up. " A Doctor of
Medicine" writes to a contemporary, to give
"as a psychologist and physician ' a word of
warning. He says, that such continual excitement----
more telling and wearing than mere mental excite-
ment—threatens to make lunatics rather than
Christians; and he recommends Mr. Spurgeon to read
the chapter on "Hygiene" in Dr. Williams's Prin-
ciples of Medicine, The doctor's advice is entirely in
accordance with common sense. The intenser
enthusiasm of revivals is not attended with the most
beneficial effects in the case of adults. With
children it would probably have no better effect than
gin-drinking, stunting the growth of both mind and
boav-
NOTIMNG NEW.

Ladies have been seen at the opera with'their hair
powdered. This addition to the huge artificial
chignon whose weight almost makes the female
form stagger, would seem to be taking us back. to
the days when it was recorded of a certain little
duchess that her face was in the middle of her figure.
It is marvellous, in this age of art-worship, that
artists should have so little influence in preventing
the hideous freaks of fashion. Men have already, to
some extent, given up their absurdities for comfort
and form, and a dandy is no longer packed up as
tightly as valuable china. When shall we see our
ladies " clothed" (in an artistic sense) and in their
right mind ?

THE SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW.

The Smithfield Club Cattle Show for the present year
opens at the Agricultural Hall, Islington, on Monday,
the 7th of December. A visit to the building shows that
already the managers are busily engaged in carrying out
the preparations incidental to what is likely to prove one
of the largest shows that has been held for
several years past. The fact that Parliament will he
sitting at the time of the exhibition will no doubt tend in
a considerable measure to the success of the undertaking.
The entries have been made with unusual spirit, and it is
anticipated that many breeders who hitherto` have hung
back from sending cattle for exhibition will this year
submit their stock to the decision of the judges. The Cen-
tral Chamber of Agriculture intend to take advantage
of the number of agriculturists who will be
attracted to London to hold their annual meeting
at the Salisbury Hotel on the oth December, when several
of the existing rules will be considered with a view to
their amendment or alteration. At the same time a vice-
chairman will be elected for 1869, and eight members of
council elected in the place of the following members
who retire, viz. :—Messrs. John Byron, Thomas Chandler,
Charles Clay, Thomas Duckham, William Gardner,
John Hemsley, Edward Holland, and W. E. Long. Prior
to the general meeting, a meeting of the Council will be
held, when, amongst other matters, aresolution on the cattle
plague rule, proposed by the North Cheshire Chamber, and
resolutions on a national poor rate, proposed by Mr. H.
George Andrews, of the Somersetshire Chamber, will be
discussed. These meetings, it is expected, will be largely
attended by deputed members from provincial chambers.

Dr. Tait bas been on a visit to his new diocese,
and preached last Sunday at St. George's, Ramsgate, and St
Peter's, Margate.
