ELECTION INTELLIGEII7CF

BEVERLEY.--The two Liberals—the Hon. Marmaduke
C. Maxwell and Mr. Anthony Trollope—have issued their
addresses. Mr. Trollope says : "lam of opinion, in which
I cannot but think that you will all agree with me, that the
chief duty of a Liberal member of the next House of Commons
will be to give a firm and continued support to the leader of the
Liberal parties. Every session during which a Conser-
vative or Tory Government is in power, the political
progress and improvement of the nation is impeded instead
of furthered. Holding this as a principal article of my
political creed, I beg to assure you of this above all
things—that should you do me the honour of sending me
Parliament as one of your representatives, it will be my
purpose to give an active, constant, and unwearied sup-
port to Mr. Gladstone. The great question of the coming,
and not impossibly of the following session, will be the
disestablishreent and disendowment of the Irish Church.
I can only assure you that for many years I have been one
of those who have denounced the gross injustice and the
absurd uselessness of the Irish Church Establishment.
The Protestant Church, as it now stands established in
Ireland, means the ascendancy of the rich over the poor, of
the great over the little, of the high over the low. It has
none of those attributes which should grace a Church. It
does not open its bosom to the poor. It lacks charity. It
assumes the virtues of the Pharisee. It is hated instead
of loved by the people. That the Irish Protestant Church
wrl speedily be disendowed and disestablished, no intelli-
gent politician in England or Ireland now doubts."
YoßK.—Messrs. Westhead and Gladstone, and Mr. J.
Lowther, the candidates for York, have commenced their
canvass. The two former gentlemen have addressed a
large and enthusiastic meeting in Walmgate, and at its
conclusion a vote, to which there were only four dissen-
tients, was passed in favour of their candidature. Their
success was referred to in the most confident terms.
BERWICK-ON-TWEED.-Mr. R. Hodgson has come for
ward as the second Conservative candidate. Major Wallace
Carpenter is the other Conservative seeking the suffrages
of the electors.

AYR BURGHS.—Mr. Anderson, Q.C., is expected to con-
test these burghs as a Liberal. His address will be issued
immediately.
SANDWICH.—The split among the Conservatives in this
borough is aggravated. The Conservative committee at
Deal having passed a resolution to withdraw Mr. Capper,
the sitting member, from the coitest, the Conservative
party at Sandwich have held a meeting in support of his
canvass. The meeting was very disorderly. Addresses
were delivered by Mr. Capper and Mr. Denne, the Mayor
of Sandwich, but the disturbance became so great that the
meeting had to be hastily broken up.
BARNSTAPLE.—Mr. Macleay, who travelled from Scot-
land to Barnstaple in order to offer himself as a Conser-
vative candidate, has declined to come forward, giving as
a reason that his age and health will not warrant him in
engaging in an active canvass or public speaking.

WORKING MEN IN PARLIAMENT.

If 'it be unadvisable that Parliament should con-
tain too many millionaires, it surely is requisite that
its members should have some means, or be supported
entirely by their constituents. A contemporary
gives currency to a report that a self-constituted
working man's candidate appeals to Liberal members
of Parliament and strangers for subscriptions to
enable him to maintain the position he has
assumed. There could be nothing more inimical
to a man's independence than this, and
nothing would more lower the dignity of the
hitherto valued honour of 'representing the people.
From the recent tone of political controversy
and legislation, it would almost appear that the being
in whom centre all imperial interests is the " working
man." We have made an idol of him, petted, flat-
tered; humoured, and appeased him. The halo
.of
glory which at present surrounds. him be dis-
pelled should a specimen appear in Parliament beg-
ging his bread.

be relied on.

THE -64314\1 ELECTIONS.'

The statistics which iiave been published in several
newspapers . touching the probable results of the
general election ought to be received with the •
utmost caution. No one can doubt that Mr. Glad-
stone will have a majority, but the expectations of
many journalists that - he- will have 400 sup-
porters must be taken CUM grano salis. For in-
stance, two respectable Irish journals, who .represent
both parties, have fallen into a most absurd error.
They state that 299 seats are uncontested by Con-
servatives, and in the next sentence
.they. assure
their readers that 236 Liberals are sure of election,
Who will fill the remaining sixty-three seats is not
stated. But the fact is, that there are but 191 seats
uncontested by the Conservatives ; per contra; there
are 100 seats uncontested by the Liberals; therefore
the Liberals have a majority of 85 before even the
polling commences. The hopes of the Conservatives
will doubtless be in the diVided state of the Liberal
party; as witness the metropolitan.elections.- In 1865
not a single Conservative was returned in the Metro-
politan boroughs. Now; through the perverse-
ness of several ambitious' nobodies, the
Liberals - are in danger of losing one
seat in Lambeth, Finsbury, the Tower Hamlets,
Hackney, and Marylebone. Thus there are five seats,
which the Liberals have always counted upon as safe,
jeopardised
,by such men as Littler, Homer, and a
host of others, whose names have never been heard
of outside the borciugh. Instead of the Liberal
party adopting the motto of their City friends, to
4‘ Unite and Conquer," they are playing into the
hands :of their opponents, who hare hoisted ,the
maxim " Divide and Conquer."

THE AUSTRIAN ARMY.

The Bourse has recovered from the effect of Baron
Beust's speech ; that is, it fell per cent. when the
extract from the Ilrezp Free Press was published, and it
regained when it was announced that the speech had
been largely " edited " before it was submitted to the
public. But though the exact expressions attributed to
the Austrian Chancellor appear to have been elaborated
by the Vienna newspaper, the substantial fact remains :
Austria must have a war army of 800,000 men. The
Austrian forces have been reduced to a peace footing since
1866, but in case of hostilities Baron Beust declares that
nothing less than 800,000 will suffice. This is not to be
wondered at. The example of increasing armaments was not
set by Austria, and if her neighbours arm she must do
the same. The French official papers, doubtless self•con-
victed on this point, are endeavouring to attenuate the
import of this step on the part of Austria ; but beyond
the assertion that the state of Europe is perfectly satis•
factory, and that the Austrian policy is peace, they have
no comfort to offer the anxious public. '

SPAIN.

Don Carlos has addressed a communication to the
various Powers of Europe announcing the abdication
of his father, and his candidature for the Spanish
throne. He says "If God and circumstances should
place me on the Spanish throne, I shall strive to loyally
reconcile the useful institutions of our epoch with the
indispensable ones of the past, leaving to the general
Cortes, freely named, the great and difficult task of endow-
ing my dear country with a Constitution which will be, I
hope, at the same time Spanish and definitive."
The correspondent of the Post thinks the Duke of
Montpensier lust the throne only by his excess of caution.
Beyond doubt he was fixed upon by Serrano and the more
conservative directors of the insurrection before it took
place. He assumed in some measure the functions of a
sovereign, making journeys in disguise, caressing news-
paper writers, entertaining malcontent Ministers, and the
like. But when the hour for action came he too cautiously
waited until the business of revolt was over, and thus dis-
gusted his supporters.
With respect to the Iberian Union, the Nord says that
the Portuguese were never so greatly opposed to it as at
present. A short time before the insurrection Gonzales
Bravo had conceived the idea of invading Spain and esta-
blishing the Iberian Union as a diversion against discon-
tent at home. This project reached Lisbon ; consequently,
when Queen Isabella crossed the frontier, the Spanish
Ambassador in Portugal fled precipitately, without taking
leave of the sovereign to whose Court he was accredited.

The Provisional-Government continues to issue edicts
and regulations demolishing the old state of things and
building up a new social and political edifice. The course
of public education is to be revolutionised ;* Latin is to be
tabooed, or at least not encouraged ; and geography,
history, mathematics, and science are to take its place.
Young Spain has been prescribed a dose of nine hours of
lectures daily. Probably the Minister of Education has
profited by the example of certain astute physicians, who
order more medicine than will be taken in order to make
sure of some. The intentions of the Government respect.
ing religious toleration are still the subject of dispute.
But the manifesto just published must fairly be regarded
as decisive on this point. Those who find fault
with certain ambiguous passages should remember that
Olozaga, one of the most influential members of the Govern.
ment, has for years past vehemently opposed even the
slightest religious toleration. The tone of the last mani-
festo, though a little cautious, is at least utterly opposed
to Olozaga's former policy.
A good sign of the results of the revolution is instanced
by the Post correspondent. The working classes were
formerly rather disposed to favour the escape of criminals.
They are now indefatigable in capturing them. Their
eagerness in handing over malefactors to justice chews
how rapidly they are learning the art of self-government.

REAIARKS.

The change in barometrical pressure since last evening has been
very slight on all coasts, except in the west, where there has been a
diminution at Valencia the reading is OTin. lower. At southern
stations pressure continues very high : the difference in readings
between Rochefort and Nairn is nearly eight-tenths. Temperature
is generally higher : the rise has been most on the E. coast. In the
S. of Scotland a strong N.W. wind prevailed yesterday, but winds
generally were westerly and moderate. On the Irish coast a fresh
south-westerly breeze is blowing, and on other coasts the wind is from
W. to S.W. Weather is generally overcast, with fog and mist,
especially in the S. of Ireland.

LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which povolcos frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects aro truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8;
King William-street, Charing-cross, London, and by all
druggists, in bottles, 13d., and three quantities in one,
2s. 9d. each. Be particular, and ask for Lambert's Asth-
matic Balsam. The name and address are engraved on the

AMERICA.
(PER THE SCOTIA, via QUEENSTOWN.)

NEW YORK, Oct. 20, Noon.

A committee of prominent Democrats conferred
with Horatio Seymour on Saturday last, who is re-
ported to have expressed his willingness to with-
draw from the candidature for the Presidency if the
prospect of success of his party would thereby be
increased.

Gen. Blair, in a speech at St. Louis, also declared
his willingness to withdraw from the contest for the
Vice-Presidency, saying he would make any sacrifice
to secure the success of his party, but he believed
that the Democratic party would triumph under its
present leaders.
News from 11.12xico states that President Juarez,
is taking precautionary measures against a
threatenel invasion by adherents of S tnta Anna,

infallible guide at all? It is absurd to suppose that
any one of the half-dozen gentlemen to whom Mr.
DISRAELI'S choice is confined can have any real
influence upon that point. If the Church News were
to declare that the chosen Primate were a Homoiousian,
the world would stare and laugh. But if the Record
were to announce that he held up two fingers and a
thumb in pronouncing the blessing, every Recordite
would be scandalised, and transfer his vote from Mr.
MOWBRAY to Sir ROUNDELL PALMER. To-day's con-
troversy is rather as to the relations of the Church to
the world, of the teachers of spiritual things to the
laity. Do they speak with authority, or do they
belong to the scribes ? Are they clad with super-
natural power before which reason must give place, or
are they merely leaders on the path of inquiry by
virtue of their having more carefully studied the way
than we ? Any indication, however minute, which
reveals to us the tendency of a man's mind is there-
fore important. It is for this reason that the
Recordite lifts up his voice when he sees the two
fingers lifted up. But, then, the Recordite has his
idols too—idols in the Baconic sense of the word.
If he is jealous of priestcraft, he is still more jealous
of free thought. Incense is an abomination to him ;
but anyone who denies verbal inspiration is worse
even than a Ritualist. The Recordite calls himself a
Protestant; but he controverts the first principle—the
very foundation—of Protestantism, the right of every
man to inquire if a doctrine is true, instead of taking
it upon authority. We believe that even the Bishop
of OXFORD would be less obnoxious to the Recordite
than the Bishop of LONDON.

A TESTIMONIAL.

If legislators have a passion for writing testimo-
nials they can freely indulge in it without getting
into hot water, like Mr. Mill. There are Professor
Holloway, the chiropodists, the dentists, and the
inventors of patents ; all these are glad of great
men's recommendations. Better and safer than all
these is the plan of Sir John Pakington. He stays at
St. Leonards ; he goes to the play ; 'and the man who
never in his life could be induced to give an answer
or explanation from which a meaning could be
extracted, in a fit of enthusiasm writes the follow-
ing :—" I have seen Miss Lydia Howard, the Little
Fairy Actress, in some of her principal parts, and I
think it a very extraordinary and delightful per-
formance.—lloyal Victorial Hotel, St. Lconards."

MR. MILNER GIBSON ON THE EXPENDITURE.

The Liberal candidates evidently feel that their
strong point is the expenditure. The Conservatives
evidently look upon. it as their weak one. They may
argue about the Irish Church ; that is a question of
principle. But there is something more tangible in
" the three millions" which they cannot get over.
True, they may give item per item how "the three
millions " were expended. But there the " three mil-
lions" remain. Their opponents declare most positively
that they would not have spent it. So the wise in their
generation fight shy of the question, simply repeat-
ing the " efficiency" argument of the Premier, and
" passing to the next subject." Mr. Milner Gibson
will not allow the country to lose sight of it, how-
ever. In his speech at Ashton-under-Lyne, on
Thursday, he intimated the direction in which he
thought some very important reductions might be
made. "He thought nothing effective could be done
in relation to a real economy in the national expen-
diture unless we were prepared to encounter the ques-
tion of the great magnitude of our military and naval
armaments. Ho was not exactly a Quaker ; he
knew, as the world was now constituted, we had not
arrived at the period when we could trust to the
forbearance of everybody, and leave the interest of
the country undefended; but there was a limit that
ought to be observed in times of peace. He believed,
not only in England, but throughout Europe,
the opinion was gaining ground that the enormous
military and naval armaments maintained were
unnecessary ; that they were oppressive and ought to
be diminished."

Crown, that—listening to those personal attacks of his
upon LordDEßßY—one felt that the Ex-Colonial See-
cretary was "bearding the lion in his den, the
DOUGLAS in his hall !" Flo : alike on the side of the
Government and on the side of the Opposition, the
two great opposing parties do not in any way re-
spectively cohere. The supporters (or rather those
on the side) of Mr. GLADSTONE, are anything but
pure and simple Gladstoneans. Those on the side
of Mr. DISRAELI are not by any means reliable
Disraelians.
