A GOOD CANDIDATE.

The Birmingham Gazette announces that Shrews-
bury was on Saturday in a state of great excite-
ment because it was rumoured that another
candidate was coming forward for South Shrop-
shire. The rumour proved correct. Colonel
Corbett has announced himself as a " Consti-
tutional " candidate, and the Gazette, a " Con-
stitutional " paper, thus descries his qualifica-
tions. Ile is "a favourite of the farmers, a good.
landlord, a generous friend, and" (by way of climax)
"a spirited fox-hunter." The Gazette appears to think
that the Treasury benches are to be taken at a flying
ump, and that the first qualification for a seat in
Parliament is a good seat in the saddle. This is not
unnatural on the part of those politicians who have to
take leaps in the dark.

MI?. NARK LEMON'S FALLSI AFF.

0
The pretty but petite Gallery of Illasf.'ra 6+ 0
he
having been found inadequate to accommodate "
increasing number of visitors to Mr. Mark Lercen 0
" Readings in Costume," the scene of action 13'''
been changed to St. George's Hall, Laagbar
place, and last night a large audience assewb Abe
to assist at jovial " fat Jack's" housewarming. e
increase of stage room gives Mr. Lemon more scope
for action, and altogether the removal is decidedlyt
a change for the better. The arrangeineou 0
of the entertainment are so nicely In .0
that the lack of scenery is never missed ; I
fact it gives a character to the " Reading" that
makes it decidedly unique. We have already
pressed a very decided opinion on the great nierclir
of Mr. Lemon's rendering of the character of
t 3,.
John Falstaff, and we can do no more on the Prit
sent occasion than again complement the great
eivr.
on his scholarly, and, in all respects, admirable p
formance. From the first discovery of Sir jc)
over his cup of sack to his arrest for Fleet Pr
son, the conception of the part was masterly au'
conspicuously Shaksperian, and on no single the
casion was Mr. Lemon betrayed into t"
enticing sin of "gagging." His was a Per,i
feet ferformance, and as such we recoil:oe%
it to all true lovers of the English drarma•
actors assisting Mr. Lemon were, for the most Part'
good ; but it would greatly heighten the effect he
little more dash and spirit wera infused into the
character of the Prince of Wales. Taken, 11°::;
ever, as a whole, there is certainly not a pleasailvd-,
entertainment in the metropolis than the "Bea
ings in Costume."

THE LEEDS ART EXHIBITION.

The Art Exhibition at Leeds has done a goo&
work. It is a favourite reproach to the North of
England that it is destitute of refinement. Such
exhibitions as that just closed would soon alter this
state of things, and make the sneer of no effect.
Some half a million are said to have visited this
building. In it were collected some of the finest
works which the country possesses.

MISCELLANEOUS NETVS.

THE FIRST EVENT OF THE SEASON.

The dissolution of Parliament takes place on the
11th. A Derbyshire paper announces the first ensuing
event of the season. The nomination at Derby is to
take place on Monday, November 16, and the polling
the following day. For South Derbyshire the
nomination will b. on November 16, the polling on
November 19, and the declaration on •November 21;
for East Derbyshire the three days will be November
17, 20, and 23; and for North Derbyshire November
24, 27, and 30.
THE SECOND GREAT QUESTION.

According to a correspondent of the Standard, the
two leading questions of the clay are the Irish Church
and the interest of the licensed victuallers. The pub-
licans are reminded that not only is the Gladstonian
party laying sacrilegious hands upon the endowments
of the Church, but that the same party has attacked
tha venerable interests of " mine host. It was Mr.
Gladstone who set the grocers in antagonism to the
publicans, and caused that monstrous scandal,
the selling of tea at a public-house bar and
the exposure of fruity wines to the heat of the sun
in the window of the enterprising grocer. Should
Mr. Gladstone succeed to power, the trade of the
licensed victualler is doomed. It is said sometimes
that the Church can never take any harm from dig-
establishment, and that the State alone will suffer.
The publicans are evidently afraid of the withdrawal
of State aid.

RIOTS AT ROTTERDAM..

Rotterdam was the scene of serious disturbances on
Saturday evening. On the previous night a demonstration
against the p.)liee had been got up, for what reason does
not appear. Next day the attitude of the mob was so
threatening that a force of cavalry and infantry was sent
for. Previously to the arrival of the troops the populace
assembled and smashed all the windows of the Town Hall
and police-office. The soldiers repea'e 1-y chai g.:d the
crowd, wounding no less than! 200, and killing three or
four. Sixty of the ringleaders were arrested.
London, England, 1868-11-03

A DUKE VILIFIED.

The Morning Post contains a letter signed "No
Duke," but which, if we may judge from the promi-
nence given it, is penned by some person of impor-
tance. The letter refers to the late attacks upon the
Duke of Marlborough by the Rev. Mr. Sidgwick and.
others. The writer thinks there is something par-
ticularly pleasant in attacking a duke) and that it is
very convenient, 'after vituperating him by name in
one passage, to relieve the monotony by commencing
a new paragraph of attack upon " his Grace."
It appears from the statement of the writer that
the number of the electors of Woodstock over
whom the duke has influence as tenants is only
about one-sixth of the constituency. "No Duke "
has perfect belief in the statement of the duke that
he will not exercise any undue influence over them,
but, as aLiberal, he fears that the voters of Woodstock
will be so disgusted by the conduct of some of those wan-
dering politicians who come to support their friend
Mr. Brodrick, and by the threats held out to the
borough of disfranchisement, that they will return a
Conservative candidate, a course of conduct which, if
they had been let alone, they might not have been
disposed to adopt.
London, England, 1868-11-03

SPAIN.

The elections for the Constitutional Cortes will commence
on the 29th of November. The country will be divided
into circumscriptions, each composed of four or five
judicial districts. Printed forms will be distributed
to the electors beforehand, and in order to prevent any
being used twice, they will each be stamped as they are
placed in the ballot-box. The Liberte considers this step
as a defeat to the Democrats which ought to induce them
to redouble their exertions. They have already objected
to the mode of voting laid down by the Government.
They demand the vote by provinces, and a strict scrutiny
of the list of electors. The Siecle agrees with the
Republicans in thinking that the plan of circumscriptions
and the ballot will give rise to official candidatures.

FEMALE SurTEAGE IN SCOTLAND.

We have bad news for Miss Becker and her
friends. Seven Scotch ladies were confident enough
to appeal to the Edinburgh Registration Court to
put their names on the register of voters. Lord
Ardmillan heard the appeal on Friday last. But
Lord Ardmillan's hard heart was not touched by it,
and he quashed their claims unceremoniously.
Within now a few hours the claims of the English
dames will be decided. It must be an anxious time
for them.

THE M.ARRIAGE OF MR. PUNSHON.

The marriage of the Rev. W. Morley rand:on has caused
a great deal of comment amongst the Wesleyans. It was
denied t 1 at it would have any effect upon Mr. Punshon's
position in Lis sect. "A Candid Wesleyan," writing to the
Liverpool courier, however, says —"The recent marriage of
the Rev. W. M. Punshon clidinvolve— and he knew beforehand
that it would involve—a serious change in his status among
the Wesloyans. His wishes had bcen known for several years;
and on all sides it was agreed that should he follow his in-
clinations, be must be severed from the connection.
Nevertheless, he married his deceased wife's sister, and
now it only remains for the Conference, when it next meets,
to formally recognise and punish his contumacy. For he
has openly and deliberately broken the law of England
—an act which no minister, however eminent,
may do without being disowned by the governing
and representative body of this religious commu-
nion. Nevertheless, the Conference does not impute
moral guilt. Many of its members sympathise with
Mr. Punshon. All regret the severance, and are glad that
ho removed to America before marrying, as in that country
no such disciplinary consequences will ensue. An unfor-
tunate and merely legal embarrassment has been got rid of
in the best possible manner, and an honourable career of
usefulness lies open to Mr. Punshon.

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

THE FIRST EVENT OF THE SEASON.

- ----- -
The dissolution of Parliament takes place on the
11th. A Derbyshire paper announces the first ensuing
event of the season. The nomination at Derby is to
take place on Monday, November 10, and the polling
the following day. For South Derbyshire the
nomination will be on November 10, the polling on
November 19, and the declaration on November 21;
for East Derbyshire the three days will be November
17, 20, and 23; and for North Derbyshire November
24, 27, and 30. •
TIM SECOND GREAT QUESTION.

According to a correspondent of the Standard, the
two leading questions of the day are the Irish Church
and the interest of the licensed victuallers. The pub-
licans are reminded that not only is the Gladstonian
party laying sacrilegious hands upon the endowments
of the Church] but that the same party has attacked
the venerable interests of "mine host. It was Mr.
Gladstone who set the grocers in antagonism to the
publicans, and caused that monstrous scandal,
the selling of tea at a public-house bar and
the exposure of fruity wines to the heat of the sun
in the window of the enterprising grocer. Should
Ur. Gladstone succeed to power, the trade of the
licensed victualler is doomed. It is said sometimes
that the Church can never take any harm from dis-
establishment, and that the State alone will suffer.
The publicans are evidently afraid of the withdrawal
of State aid.

Prosecutor—No ; my pottnan.
The Potman—l closed the house at one o'clock
this morning, and everything was quite safe. When
I came down this morning another door besides
that which the police entered was unbolted.
Police-constable Campbell, 209 C, said—About
three o'clock this morning I saw two men at the
corner of Tower-street, and asked what they wanted
there, and told them to go away. They said they
would stop as long as they liked. With the Assist-
ance of 63 F I took them away. I saw the prisoner
run out of the Prince Albert, when I went after
him and took him back, and while doing so saw
another man run out of the house, and he got
away. On going into the house I found the things
produced in a sack. There was a place where the
shutters were kept where a man could conceal
himself.

William Fawbert, 180 C—l stoppod tho prisoner
while he was running away.

William Cane, 35 C—On the 12ch July, 1867,

I took the prisoner into custody, is the name of
Henry Marsden, for attempting to pick pockets in
Coventry-street, on the occasion of the Belgian
Volunteers visiting this country. I also knew the
prisoner to be the constant associate of clever
thieves of all kinds.

The " MAYNE LAW."—George Mellison, a re-
spectable-looking, middle-aged mAn, wag charged
with assaulting William llitehin, a journeyman
painter, living at No. 1, Garden Cottages, Vine,;at-

square.
Complainant said that at 10 minutes to one this
murning he was in Bloomsbury-street, Vincent-
square, speaking to a friend, when the defendant
came up and asked what bnsiness he had there.
Complainant replied that he had no right to inter-
fere, upon which defendant bit his finger.
➢ir. Arnold—fie ought to be muzzled it seems.
How could he get at your finger ?
Complainant—l was holding out my hand expos-
tulating with him upon the impropriety of not
winding his own business, when he got my finger
in his mouth.

Mr. Arnold—l can hardly understand how- ho

did it.

Complainant—Why, he stooped a little.
Defendant, in reply to the charge, said that he
found complainant and a female standing near his
door as he was going home, and told them they
had no business there, upon which complainant fol-
lowed him to his door, and then the accident hap-
pened.
Mr. Arnold—Accident happened? He says you
bit him.

Defendant—Well he was flourishing his hand
about and poked his finger into my mouth. (Much

.aughter.)

Mr. Arnold—Walking into the lion's den ?
Defendant—He might have had his finger down
my throat and hurt me very much.
Mr. Arnold—So you closed your teeth to prevent
his getting any further ? (Much laughter.)
Defendant—Well, I don't know how that was,
your Worship.
Jeremiah Petit, 370 B, said he found complain-
ant's finger bleeding, and took the defendant into
custody.
After further hearing, Mr. Arnold said the story
of the defendant was as worthy of credit as com-
plainant's, and therefore dismissed the charge.

REMARKS.

A sudden and very rapid diminution of barometrical pressure set
in last evening in the north, amounting to more than half an inch in
the last twelve hours. In Ireland and the S. of England the decrease
has not been so great, whilst on the W. coast of France readings are
nearly the same. Large differences now exist between pressures in
Crest Britain ; the readings at Nairn and Penzance differ by 1101 n.
Readings in France are higher than those on the Channel coast. Tem-
perature has risen generally, except at stations on the Channel coast.
A heavy north-westerly gale set in yesterday at Ardrossan, which was
felt at Leith with less force, and still continues at these stations. In
the Irish Sea the wind blew hard from S.W. at Holyhead, and is still
continuing. Winds arc strong from the westward in Ireland, but light
in the Channel. Heavy rain is reported at Ardrossan; the sea is
very high there and at Valencia. Warnings issued.
London, England, 1868-11-03

MR. DOULTON'S CASE.

Mr. Doulton's friends—the shareholders of the
Belgian Public Works—are determined that their
affection for him shall not be overlooked. They are
full of gratitude to him for having induced them to
become shareholders in the enterprise which, accord-
ing to him, is likely to make their fortunes. When,
therefore, he complained that he had not at Brussels
the " crucial test of cross-examination and the laws of

English jurisprudence," they determined to remove all
such cause of complaint; and he is to have the full benefit
of British law. In announcing this the shareholders
hint at another pot de yin. Meanwhile Mr. Doulton
sends another explanation of his transactions to the
papers. He says that he has commenced an action
against Mr. Clench, and on his part also the matter
is to come before the English court. With regard
to the contract, he declares that all that part
of the business fell .upon him, and had
nothing really to do with the company. It
has been asserted that there were two contracts
made with Messrs. Mention and Sons, and for dif-
ferent amounts. " This," Mr. Doulton writes, "is
not so; there never has been but one contract with
Messrs. Mention, and that for the sum of £598,000.
Previously to entering into this contract, the con-
tractors had, necessarily for, their own guidance as
well as mine, ascertained what the cost of the works
alone would be ; but, as I have said, no contract for
other than this amount was ever entered into. The
board knew but of this one contract, which was for a
price in harmony with all the representations made
to them—viz., that the price of the works would be
£600,000."

THE DUKE OF MARLBOROUGH ON SCIENCE SCHOOLS.

The Duke of Marlborough seems to be very much
afraid that the Government will do too much in the
matter of education. In a speech at Oxford, recently,
he deprecated very earnestly the panic produced by
the Paris Exhibition. An impression, he said,
seemed to prevail that it was necessary for the
Government to step in and take some decisive step
which would so far place our technical education on
a footing which would render us able to compete
with other countries. He thought they should look
very carefully, however, on a point of this kind.
If they looked to all the great successes that had
occurred in the country in art manufacture, produc-
tion, and invention, they would find it had not been
by the action of Government, but by that of enter
prising individuals. He wished to impress upon the
public the necessity of looking to themselves in this
matter. Doubtless, his grace would like, as a member
of the Government, to shirk responsibility on this
question, and to thrown it on that vague committee,
the public. But the public will wake up to the
importance of the question sooner than the President
of the Council would wish.
London, England, 1868-11-03

AMERICA.

The state of affairs in the South is certainly not im-
proving. The Nation says that more assassinations of pro-
minent Republicans occurred during the week ending
October 22 than at any time since the termination of the
war. The World announces these murders in such jubilant
terms as "A bogus judge and sheriff killed in Louisiana,"
"A carpet-bag deputy slain in Arkansas," &c. Whatever
may be the right between the two parties, nothing can
justify this mode of asserting it.
