MISCELLANEOUS NE TVS.

THE HUSTINGS AT CAMBRIDGE.

---
During the nomination for Cambridgeshire the
other day some interesting personalities passed
between Lord Royston (C.) and Mr. Young (L)
The noble lord has a happy knack of putting a crowd
into a noisy and excited state by his audacity. On
the present occasion, amidst great uproar, he said
that the reason Mr. Young first offered himself as a
candidate was because Mr. Adeane, the former Liberal
member,refusedto make him a magistrate. Mr. Young
had been refused by no less than three lord-lieutenants.
Some one on the hustings shouted out that it was " a
lie," and when Mr. Young was appealed to, he mildly
observed that he would not say it was a lie, but it
i was " untrue." Lord Royston mentioned Mr.
Adeane, Lord Leicester, and the Duke of Bedford as
the three, and Mr. Young again denied it. Lord
Royston was substantially right, and Mr. Young
literally correct ; . but the latter afterwards con-
fessed that he first came forward because Mr.
Adeane refused to make .him a magistrate. Neither
the Duke of Bedford nor Mr. Adeane were lord-
lieutenants, and it was in the capacity of Custos
.7?oto7orunz that the former offended Mr. Young.
Mr. Adeane is now on his committee, and has;
ostensibly, at any Tate, forgiven the offence which is
so unpardonable in the eyes of his conscientious
brother-in-law, the Comptroller of the Household.
Mn. LAD OIICIIERE.
" A Disgusted Liberal" writes to the Standard to
say that he has received a polling card containing
three questions, the most important of which is "For
whom do you vote F" Answer, " Labouchere." This
Liberal intends now to plump for Lord Enfield, or
split his vote with Lord Hamilton. He considers it
a disreputable " dodge " on the part of Mr.
Labouchere, after he and Lord Enfield had agreed to
work together. Rather let us suppose that Mr.
Labouchere is not responsible for this breach of
faith, and is absolutely ignorant of

ANOTHER FALSEHOOD. •
Lord Southampton having heard that Lord Frede-
rick Fitzroy referred to him on the hustings as
driving his tenants to the poll like a flock of sheep,
writes to him to contradict the unwarrantable asser-
tion. Several persons who rent Lord Southampton's
land voted for Lord Frederick at the last election.
Lord Solithampton remarks that great licence of
tongue is permitted upon the hustings, but he cannot
permit false statements to be made. We hope that
as soon as the elections are over " gentlemen ' will
remember it used to be characteristic of their order
...do speak the truth. It is a pity they ever for-
eot it.

LA3IDETH GROUNDS.

Mr. Arthur Arnold has had a correspondence with
the Bishop of London upon the subject of the grounds
of Lambeth Palace. The Bishop's secretary promises
to give the matter his full consideration, and reminds
him that his predecessor in the see of Canterbury
used to allow the use of his grounds for the cricket
clubs of Lambeth. Mr. Arnold replies that he contem-
plates more than this. He says: " Nothing but the free
possession of a portion of the land by the public can
benefit the most numerous class, whose sanitary con-
dition, my official experience justifies me in asserting,
would be greatly improved by the enjoyment of such
a recreation ground. I have applied to the Eccle-
siastical Commissioners on the subject, and am by
them informed that the concession can only be made
by your Grace."
