MR. J. S. MALL AT BRIGIITON.

Mr. John Stuart Mill addressed a gieat meeting in
support of the joint candidature of Mr. James White
and Professor Fawcett, on Tuesday evening, at the
Brighton Corn Exchange. Referring to the difficulties
which Professor Fawcett had overcome in the House of
Commons, Mr. Mill said that many a young man enters
that House with all good intention, but, when there,
comes under the influence of that atmosphere which,
stifling to the moral feeling as an atmosphere is stifling
to the physical senses, takes all the fealty out
of a man. He comes among a number of persons of
Lord Palmerston's school of Liberalism, who have no
particular intentions. What little intention they do have
is good, but the only thing that affrights them is whether
people should do it. Whenever anything is proposed they
are always afraid that it will make mischief, or disturb the
party, or prevent things from going on smoothly, or make
somebody or other vote against them, or perhaps make
the Liberals go out, or perhaps prevent them from
coming in. Mr. Fawcett had been as much exposed to
their influence as anybody else. He (Mr. Mill) knew
there had been people going round Mr. Fawcett, and
saying " For God's sake don't do this ;" or " For heaven's
sake don't do that. You will offend this man and that,
and you won't do any good." There never is any good
to be done, in the •opinion of those men. Mr. Fawcett
had been assailed in that way; but he just told them
in all boldness that he thought it right, and
therefore must do it. That would not be a safe
course to take if a man was wrong-headed or obstinate ;
but he (Mr. Mill) had watched Mr. Fawcett from his
first entrance into Parliament (which exactly coincided
with his own)—he had watched Mr. Fawcett with
the deep interest inspired by a knowledge of him, and
with the
,great hope he entertained of him ; he had
watched Mr. Fawcett with the anxiety he felt for a young
man in his position ; and be had deliberately formed the
opinion that Mr. Fawcett's parliamentary conduct had
been as much distinguished by judgment as by courage.
When Mr. Fawcett speaks it is always on something
he has studied and which he understands'; and when he
does, what he has done oftener than any man of his stand-
ing in Parliament—when he has come forward and taken
up a question for himself, he has not only done so as well
as, but better than most other people. He touched upon
three instances—the reform of the universities ; the cost of
elections ; and thirdly, the subject on which Mr. Fawcett
had distinguished himself as much as any member of Par-
liament, and that he had made his own during the greater
part of his parliamentary life, the condition, the lament-
able, deplorable condition—a condition which cries out to
the whole people of England for remedy—the condition of
the agricultural labourer.

THE MARQUIS OF RARTINOTON ON THE

PRESENT ADMINSTRATION.

The Marquis of Ffartington, the Liberal candidate for
North Lancashire, addressed a meetin g at Blackpool onWed-
=gay afternoon, composed of his friends and supporters,
including many ladies. Alluding to Mr. Bright's speech at
Birmingham, his lordship said that although Mr. Bright
had of late years shewn far more than at any former
period of his great career the qualities of a
statesman, he could not agree with everything in
the speeches he had lately delivered. Mr. Bright in one
of his speeches made an eloquent attack upon the
Conservatives. He did not think, looking back to the
past history of our country, he could agree with him
wl) en he said that the great Conservative partyhad always
been in the wrong. He believed a Conservative party to
be a necessity to the country. There always would be a
large proportion of the community who, either from motives
of interest or timidity, would be averse to change, and
would always possess a great and salutary influence in
the State by checking, as they probably had in the
past, too rapid changes. He had no hesitation in admit-
ting that in past times the Conservative party had been
led by men who at particular periods were, without
doubt or question, men fitted to command and lead the
Government of this country. He thought no man would
deny that such men as the Duke of Wellington and
Sir Robert Peel were, at the time when they flourished,
men most fitted by talent and ability and their position
in the country to conduct the Government. But turn-
ing from the past to the present, he asked whether we
could recognise in the Conservative party under their
present leaders either the traditional policy or the advan-
tages which had been conferred upon the State by that
party. It seemed to him that the Conservative party
were not now merely engaged in endeavouring to check
rapid change, but that they had taken up the position of
a faction who were anxious only for power, and who
were using their influence in acquiring it to appeal
to the fears and prejudices of a large portion of the
people. They had followed and adopted the policy of
their opponents, and had caricatured it by going beyond
it, and by outbidding their opponents on almost every
question. Though he could not agree with Mr. Bright
in the sweeping condemnation he had passed, not
only on the present but on the past of the
Conservative party, he could agree with him so
far as to say that in his opinion it was not for the
benefit or the real interests of this great country that the
present leaders of that party should hold office.
lie had been told that the great administrative talents this
party had shewn while in office entitled them to the confi-
dence of the country. Though he (Lord Hartington) was
not desirous of detracting from the credit which the
Government might have obtained by their administrative
performances—and he was quite as willing as any Conser-
vative could be to give full credit to Lord Stanley for the
manner in which he bad conducted foreign affairs—he
thought that even the excellence and merits of Lord Stanley
might be exaggerated. He would ask whether that
formed ground enough to justify the moving a vote of
confidence in the Tory Government. Let them recollect
Lord Stanley had done little more than carry into effect
the principles which had-always been advocated by Liberal
statesmen and the Liberal party. MOving from the adminis-
tration of foreign affairs to other departments, they were
told that in all of them great improvements had occurred since
the advent of the Conservative party to power; but,
whatever might have been the improvements, the country
')ad to pay pretty heavily for them in the shape of a bill
'or three millions of money. His lordship expressed his
approval of the consolidation of the different departments
of the War Office. Mr. Disraeli in his address said : "To
secure efficiency you must be vigilant in administrative
improvement. Influenced by these views, her Majesty's
Government, by placing in the hands of a single
individual a control over the expenditure of the
War Office, commenced a considerable reform during the
last session." His lordship wished to call attention to the
fact that previously the Treasury, of which Mr. Disraeli
was the head, had insisted that the financial control should
not be placed in the hands of any officer, but where it
always had been, in the Financial Department. Yet, the
Prime Minister now told them that to the bands of this new
officer the control of the whole financial expenditure
of the army was committed. He had no hesitation in
saying that there had been either a most gross breach of
faith in the House of Commons in this matter, or else, and
what he hoped was more probable, the Prime Minister
really knew nothing whatever upon the subject, and knew
nothing of the letter written at the office of which he was
nominally the head, and that he was entirely ignorant of
the scope and intention of the proposed change.

Gounod is writing a fourth act to his opera.
" Faust," believing be can produce a second success of that
opera.

A HINT TO GAME PRESERVERS.--Earl Cowper,
the lord-lieutenant of Bedfordshire, has this week shot his
Harrold Woods, and invited the tenants on the estate
to shoot with him.

ALLEGED BRIBERY AT YOUGIIAL.—A writ of sum-
mons at the suit of Maurice Kenirey, of Youghal, has
been issued on Mr. John Mariga, Youghal, for offering
to William Sargint, an elector of that borough, a cheque
for a certain sum of money, payable to the order of Mr.
Christopher Weguelin, one of the candidates for the
borough, with the purpose of inducing the said William
Sargint to vote for Mr. Weguelin. The action is brought
to recover the sum of £lOO, the penalty inflicted in such
cases by the Corrupt Practices Act of 1854.—Cork
Examiner.

Sir Richard Mayne's edict on the subject of
children's hoops has attracted general attention, and the
authorities at Scotland-yard have been freely quizzed for
their interference. But an inquest held on Wednesday
tells us how a poor old woman, 70 years of age, was
knocked down by a hoop and killed. The police will now
very probably have the laugh on their side, though it is a,
question whether a rough passenger passing by the old
woman would not have done as much harm as the hoop.--
Morning Summary.

ESCAPE FROM A PRISON. —The .Bur•y Post gives
the particulars of the escape from Yarmouth Gaol of a
notorious delinquent named John Coleby. His escape
appears to have been effected by mounting an iron parti-
tion dividing one of the 'corridors, and having procured a
foot-hold by attaching a pice of rope to some bars at
the toe, he cut a hole through the ceiling, and drew
himself through into a water-closet adjoining the grand
jury-room, whence he easily dropped into the adjoining
row by means of a length of rope secured to the window.
It was subsequently ascertained by the police that be
made his appearance about ten o'clock that night at the
Norwich Arms public-house, which is about half a mile
from the gaol, and as he could not have commenced opm-
tions till after nine, when the gaoler made his r0.u.1,1F. his
ocape roust have tAcu 14u lc p than au hour,
