ELECTION .tNTELLIngbE,

STAUFORD.—No candidate has yet appeared for the seat
at Stamford, vacant through the accession of Lord Ingestre
to the peerage. At the dissolution of the present Parlia
ment Stamford will return only one representative. Sir
J. C. D. Hay, ono of the Lords of the Admiralty, is the
remaining sitting member.

LIVERPOOL-Mr. Robertson Gladstone having declined
to stand, Mr. Vernon HarcourA, Q.C., has been invited to
come forward in conjunction with Mr. William Rathbone.
It is said that Mr. Harcourt- will accept the invitation,
provided that the Liberals of OXford city can fix upon a
suitable candidate to fill the vacancy which will be
created on the retirement of Mr. Neate.

LAMBETII.—Mr. Thomas Lushes will stand for election
entirely on the voluntary principle, his committee unaer-
taking to meet the whole of the necessary expenses.
WESTMINSTER.—It is said that the friends of Mr.' Mill,
M.P., will again propose him for Westminster under
conditions similar to those adopted at the last general
election. ,

CIEATIIANI.—In anticipation of the coming dissolution
the Liberal party in this borough have held several large
and influential meetings during the past week, at all of
which much enthusiasm was manifested in favour of Mr.
A. J. Otway, the present member, who has announced
his intention of seeking re-election at the hands of his
present constituents. Among the names of candidates
mentioned as being likely to be brought forward to oppose
Mr. Otway are those of Vice-Admiral G. Elliot, who was
defeated at the last general election, and Mr. Hardy ; but
should the Conservatives decide on a contest it is probable
that Admiral Elliot will be the candidate put forward.
PRESTON.—Lord Edward Howard, who will lose his
seat at Arundel through the disfranchisement of that
borough, is mentioned as a candidate for Preston, where
the Catholic interest is very strong. Captain the Hon. F.
A. Stanley and Sir Thomas liesketh, both Cowervatives,
are the sitting members.

GIIILDFORD.—It is believed that Mr. G. Onelow, the
present Liberal member, will not offer himself for re-elec-
tion. In anticipation of this event, the names of Mr.
Frederick Peel, the Hon. Auberon Herbert, and Mr.
Evelyn, who formerly represented the county, are spoken
of as gentlemen from whom a candidate will be selected
by the Liberal party. Mr. Garth will again offer himself
in the interests of the Conservatives, and as parties in the
borough are very evenly balanced, there will be a severe
fight for the seat.

GRAVESEND. —The name of Mr. Hardy, the son of the
lome Secretary, has been freely mentioned as a Conserva.
,ive candidate.

NORTH SHIELDS.—It is understood that Mr. Ingham
will not offer himself at the nest election for the repre•
sentation of this borough.

THE NEW NORTIURN BOROUGHS. The three new
boroughs created by Sete form Act in the County of Durham
are preparing for the coming elections. At Hartlepool
Mr. Ralph Want Jackson, who is locally known as the
founder of West Hartlepool, is likely to be brought for-
ward by the Conservatives. At Stockton Mr. Joseph
Dodds, a local solicitor, and a moderate Liberal, has
received a requisition, signed by nearly 3,000 ratepayers,
asking him to allow himself to be put in nomination. At
Darlington Mr. E. Backhouse and Mr. H. R. Spark,
both Liberals, offer themselves. At Middlesborough Mr.
Bolekow, a Liberal, is not likely to be opposed.
BOSTON.—Some of the supporters of Mr. T. Parry,
M.P., are dissatisfied with his votes—or, at any rate, one
of his votes--on the Irish Church question ; but upon the
whole it seems probable that Mr. Parry will receive the
support of the Liberals of the borough, should he again
offer himself. Mr. J. 11. Palmer, Q.C., has been "named"
as a second Liberal candidate, but nothing has at present
been decided on with reference to the learned gentleman.
The representation of the borough is at present shared be-
tween Mr. Parry and Mr. J. W. Malcolm (Conservative.)

LYNN.—The Liberals of this town have formed an asso-
ciation for the maintenance and dissemination of Liberal
opinions in the borough. Sir T. F. Buxton, the present
Liberal sitting member, will stand again. The represents.-
tion is at present divided between Lord Stanley and Sir
T. F. Buxton, but the Conservatives threaten a second
candidate in the person of the Hon. It. Bourke.
ABINGDON.—The Liberals in this borough are taking
active measures to contest this seat. Sir Benjamin S.
Phillips, an alderman of London, has been spoken of as a
possible candidate.
BATH.—Dr. Dalrymple has been invited to come

forward for this city against Colonel Hogg, the Conser-
vative member. The other representative is Mr. Tite, a

[.iberal.

ROCHESTER.-It has been announced that the Conser-
vatives intend bringing forward Major M. G. Best, of
Boxley Lodge, near Maidstone, as a candidate for this

city at the approaching general election. Major Best
possesses considerable property in the adjoining borough

of Chatham, and has great local influence, but it appears
to be uncertain whether he will accept the invitation to
contest the city on Conservatives principles. In the
meantime, the present members, Mr. P. Wykeham
Martin and Serjeant J. A. Kinglake, Recorder of Bristol,
have signified their intention of again offering themselves
for election.

Laslettt, his agents have been canvassing in Dudley the
doubtful Liberals and Conservatives, and those electors
who remained neutral during the recent contest. It would
appear from this that Mr. Laslett really intends to come
forward again at the general election, and court another
defeat.

GLOUCESTERSIIIRE.—A Constitutional Association. has
been formed in Gloucester, and it is understood that the
city will be contested at the next election. The Conserv&
tive candidate will probably be Sir Samuel Baker, the
African traveller, whose father was a Gloucester merchant,
and who is himself a Gloucestershire man. One of the present
Liberal members for the city, Mr. W. P. Price, who is a
large landowner in the county and a timber merchant of
Gloucester, will, it is said, contest the western division
with Colonel Kingscote, in opposition to Colonel Somerset,
who was lately elected, after a close contest, on the resig-
nation of Lord Justice Holt ; and it is also stated that the
Hon. Charles Berkeley, formerly member for the city, and
the defeated candidate for West Gloucester, will again
come forward for the city in conjunction with Mr. Monk,
now the second Liberal member.
GLASGOW AND ABERDEEN UNIVERSITIES.—The report
to the effect that Mr. Andrew Halliday Duff would offer
himself for the representation of Glasgow and Aberdeen
Universities, is correct. Mr. Duff's promises of support
are said to he of an encouraging character.

WATERFORD COUNTY.-It is the intention of the Con-
servatives to bring forward Lord Marcus De la Poer
Beresford, eldest brother of the Marquis of Waterford,
and Captain the Hon. W. C. Talbot, H. N:, who unsuc-
cessfully contested the seat when it became vacant through'
the elevation of the Earl of Tyrone to the peerage.

Cardinal Andrea is the eighty-fifth cardinal who
has died since the accession of Pope Pius IX. The first
two died in 1846, and were followed to the grave by six in
1847, one in 1848, three in 1849, three in 1850, five in 1851,
three in 1852, four in 1853, three in 1854, five in 1855, four
in 1856, four in 1857, four in 1858, two in 1859, four in
1860, six in 1861, three in 1862, three in 1863, four in 1864,
two in 1865, five in 1866, eight in 1867, and one (Andrea)
in 1868.

TIIE SUMMER CIRCUITS OF THE JUDGES.—In addi-
tion to the Western and Northern Circuits, the fixtures of
which were settled on Wednesday last, and noticed at the
time, the following further arrangements have been made by
the judges: Home Circuit (Mr. Baron Martin and Mr. Justice
Wines): Hertford, July 9 ; Chelmsford, 13; Lewes, 16;
Maidstone, 21; and Guildford, 28. Oxford Circuit (Mf.
Justice Byles and Mr. Baron Pigott): Abingdon, July 8;
Oxford, 11; Worcester, 15 ; Stafford, 20; Shrewsbury, 28;
Hereford, 31; Monmouth, August 4 ; and Gloucester 7.

ACCIDENT TO THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.--,011
Saturday the Duke of Wellington, whilst out riding at
Strathfieldsaye, was, through his horse stumbling, thrown,
and fell heavily on his heae. For several minutes the
duke was insensible. On being taken to the mansion in
a helpless condition the duchess was greatly alarmed.
The duchess instantly sent express to London to Mr.
Prescott Hewett fur his professional services. Happily,
the duke has not sustained any serious injury, but is
severely bruised on the head, just above his left temple.
On Sunday morning he was considered going on favourably,
and we believe Mr. Hewett left for town, as he considerei
there was no danger.

The annual festival of the Newspaper Press Fund
has now become one of the recognised features of
the London season, and it usually numbers among
its guests and supporters a goodly company of da-
anguished names. On Saturday evening the ban-
quet was presided over by the Duke of CAMBRIDGE,
who showed that he knew how to value the pen as
well as the sword ; and among the company were
many members of both Houses, as well as men pro-
minent in art and literature, and belonging to the
Fourth Estate itself. The newspaper press indeed
stands in the gap between politics and literature.
It bridges over the gulf which at one time used to
divide the man of thought from the man of action, and
by partaking of the qualities of both it harmonises
and unites them to their mutual advantage. Politics
have grown more enlightened and more elevated,
literature has become more life-like and more
practical, as the press grows in importance, and as
the sense of its public services becomes more widely
recognised it is natural that greater interest should
be felt in the fortunes of its members. There
must always, in every profession, be cases of ex-
ceptional misfortune of premature decay, of
untimely death, and of other unavoidable
calamities, which not only reduce the members of
that profession from competence to poverty, but
leave their families dependent for aid, and, per-
haps, even for support, upon the kindness of others.
It has been felt that this ought not to be so fre-
quently the case, and a few persons connected with
the press, and interested in its welfare, have
organized a scheme by which men in their days of
success and prosperity may provide for the cloud
and the storm and those who are themselves raised
above the fear of want may assist their less fortu-
nate brethren. It is after the custom to speak of
the imprudence and extravagance of men of the
artistic professions, but those who censure them
forget that their incomes are extremely uncertain,
and that it is difficult for them to make an ade-
quate provision for the future. The dramatic pro-
fession has shown that there is no lack of prudence
amongst its members when once the way is opened
for them, and the success which has already at-
tended the early meetings of the Newspaper Press
Fund indicates, we may hope, its lasting and ex-
tended popularity.
The progress which it has already made is
most encouraging. The Chairman, in remarking
upon the utility of the institution, observed that
since its establishment in the year 1864 there have
been enrolled 280 members, one-fourth of them
being life members ; and up to the end of 1867
there was a sum of £4,000 invested in the funds,
while 25 grants, varying in amount from £lO to
£75 each, had been:made to members and their
families. This is a very good beginning for so
young a society, and the festival of Saturday will
no doubt tend to raise it still further in the opinion
of the public by showing the light in which it is
regarded by men of weight and character. His
Royal Highness, the chairman, said that he hoped
his presence there would be taken as an indication
of the interest and sympathy felt by the profession
which be represented in the public press. Lord
HouGwrox, the able and accomplished president of
the institution, to whose kindly services and unfail-
ing sympathy it owes so inuch,sobserved that the
royal duke had been prompt to recognise
the importance of public opinion in this country.
When it was with a man he could do
everything, without it he could do nothing,

271 E EUPHRATES VALLEY RAILWAY:

-~-

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—The events of the past few weeks have
directed general attention to the improvement of
our communications with the East.

The success of the Mont Cenis Railway holds
out the prospect of the early substitution of the
route by Brindisi for that by Marseilles. So far,
one step in the right direction will be accomplished.
But the advantages of this change are as nothing
when compared with those which we have it in our
power to secure by the opening up of the Euphrates
route from the Mediterranea❑ to the Persian Gulf.
The substitution of the Brindisi route for that by
Marseilles is spoken of as a " geographical neces-
sity." The truth of this is apparent enough to any
one glancing at the map of Europe. But how much
more obvious is it that the establishment of the
Euphrates route is a " geographical necessity ?"
The Brindisi route will shorten by a few hours
the journey between England and India, while the
Euphrates Railway would enable us to save upwards
of seven days.
And who can estimate the increased security
which such a railway would afford for the integrity
of the British Empire, or the importance of the
commercial results which would accrue from it, not
only to this country and her Eastern dependencies,
but to the world at large ?

Captain Tyler, R.E.,in his official report to his
Grace the Duke of Montrose, Postmaster-General,
on the subject of the Brindisi route, drew attention
to " the still more important saving of time and
distance" which would be obtained by the Euphrates
Valley Railway ; pointing out, at the same time,
that the navigation of the Persian Gulf to Bombay
would be " far preferable to that via Suez and the
Red Sea ;" and recommending the subject to the
serious consideration of .the British Government on
the ground of his strong conviction of " the im-
portant bearing that the construction of such a rail-
way would have, commercially and strategically,
upon the British Empire."

One would suppose tha'_ anything tending to the
security of the British Empire, while at the same
time promoting general prosperity, and thus afford-
ing the best guarantee for the peace of Europe,
would require little argument to recommend it to
the support and encouragement of British
statesmen.

A telegram published in the newspapers of the
Ist inst., stated that a great battle had taken place
between the Russians and Bokharians, resulting in
the death of the Emir, and the capture of Bokhara
by the Russians.

Surely there is something of significance in this
fresh proof of the gradual advance of the Russians
in the direction of our Eastern frontier, something
which should rouse us from our policy of inaction
in regard to the Euphrates Railway.
Are we to wait until events force upon us the
adoption of the Euphrates route at a time when we
may be obliged to undertake the construction of
the railway at a vastly enhanced cost, and under
circumstances involving the sacrifice of thousands
of our soldiers?

Are we never to learn wisdom from the dearly-
bought lessons of the past, and are we to rest for
ever in a fatal apathy, content that England
should be scoffed at by all the world as the great
unready ?

Three months ago I brought the subject of the
Euphrates Railway, and my correspondence with
Lord Stanley, and Sir Stafford Northcote regarding
it, formally to the notice of the Viceroy and Go-
vernor-general of India, the governors of the Pre-
sidencies, and the principal chambers of commerce
in India.

I submit that the subject is one which it is the
bounden duty of the press to advocate, or at least
to discuss, and under that feeling I address these
remarks to you.—l am, Sir, your most obedient

servant,
London, June 6, 1868.

W. P. ANDREW.

TO THE EDITOR OF IHE SUN.

Sin,—A correspondent of the United Service
Gazette says that the distinction of a laurel wreath
now to be worn round the forage caps of the ser-
geants of the 8-Ith Regiment was originally con-
ferred upon that regiment in recognitio❑ of its gal-
lant conduct at the battle of Fontenoy, the emblem
having only been discontinued to be worn since
1857. This suggests a. question concerning what
would be, one would think, of some interest to our
,regiments. I have not an army list by me, but I be-
lieve I am correct in saying that, with the excep-
. . . _

tion of Flassy, a name which is written on the
colours of the infantry regiment, whose motto is
" Primus in Indus," no victory anterior to those
won by England over the French Republic is em-
blazoned on the colours of any British regiment.
Now, why should this be ? In France nearly all
the ancient institutions of the country perished in
the Revolution, and amongst them the army of the
old monarchy. The revolutionary forces that,
under General &naparte, broke into Italy were
composed of newly-raised battalions, leavened with
the dispersed cadres of the old royal army, and

_ •
the French regiments of to-day are not the regi-
ments that fought at Fontenoy any more than the
modern departments of France are its ancient ter-
ritorial divisions. I even question whether many
of the present French regiments are the regiments
that served the great Napoleon. For instance, take
the regiment of lancers, attired in Polish colours,
that furnished the escort of the Czar on his entry
ento Paris last year. I think—for I cannot speak
for certain—that this is not one of the great Napo-
leon's famous regiments of so-called Polish lancers
any more than the dukedom of Montmorency
lately created by Napoleon 111. is the histo-
rical dukedom of that name, for, if I mistake
not, the greater part of the regiments forming the
present French Imperial Guard were constituted
soon after the establishment of the second empire.
The English regiments of to-day, however, are the
regiments of yore. Some have changed their num-
bers and appellations, and the gentlemen of the
Household Horse in 1788 handed over their colours
to the Household Horse as at present constituted, but
nearly all the regiments that serve Victoria served
also her ancestors. A British regiment preserves
a sort of military apostolic succession, the officers
and men who at present compose it having rubbed
shoulders with predecessors, who thereby transmitted
to them rubs which had been transmitted to them-
selves through generations of officers and men from
the members of the corps when just raised. Now
among our regiments are corps two centuries old
and thereabouts—the Foot Guards and the earlier
foot and horse regiments of the line. Some of
these, as their regimental records and tattered and
ancient banners now hanging in cathedrals testify,
won Marlborough's victories, and must have been
present at Blenheim, Ramillies, and Malplaquet.
Then why is it that the names of these
great victories do not shine on their colours,
as does the name of the contemporary victory of
Turin on those of the Ist Prussian Grenadiers, a
regiment of which the Crown Prince of Prussia is
colonel, and to which (so we were informed by the
Times correspondent) he sent a greeting on the
occasion of his reviewing the garison of Turin dur-
ing his late visit to Italy? If Salamanca, Vittoria,
Waterloo, why not Blenheim, Ramillies, and Mal-
plaquet ? Is it because their banners—for in-
stance those of the Ist Foot, fa:niliarly known
in the service by the nickname of Pontius
Pilate's Guards, by reason of its antiquity

—are so covered with glory that they can-
not find room for any more ? But surely, if this
be the case, the regiments inconvenienced with an
excess of glory could be given an additional colour,
or in time we may see the Peninsula victories
crowded off the silken field by others gained in
same future war.

What I have called attention to, as well as a pro-
position brought forward some titne ago, of orna-
menting the regimental colour staff with a lion and
crown, after the style of French eagles, which has, I
believe, been in some cases acted upon, does not
exactly involve so important a military reform as is at
present associated with the name of Mr. Trevelyan.
Indeed, in this age of breechloaders, and other
analogous inventions of a generation utilitarian in
war as in peace, the practice of a regiment carrying
