TBE COLLIER'S LIFE.

But, while there is a home life thus tending to
humanise, the collier, it has in ceetain inevi-
table d fecte At 18 or 19 he can earn what ho
will earn at 50. After he is married, sons, as they
grow up, will by their earnings add to his prospe-
rity : as a question of money, therefore, it is as
wise for him to marry at 19 as at 29. Very early
marriages are, for this reason, common ; they are
founded upon a rough scrt of calf-love, and form a
tie that is maintained, on the whole, pleasantly be-
tween husband and wife, but ;is maintained by no
very peculiar community of interest or feeling.
The husband is in the pit all day, and the satisfac-
tion of his animal wants fills the main part of the
time at home. This may in part explain why,
among the colliers, there aro very many to whom
the marriage bond does not appear so sacred or
so necessary as it ought to be. In too many
cases, if a collier leaves his wife and goes upon
a journey, it is not a Penelope who stays be-.
hind. I speak only, of course, in all that is
here said, from my own observation in a single
district. I have seen in that district nearly
all the colliers' wives, and some few of
their daughters, working indefatigably in
their respective households, famous helpers
to the men, and, with the rarest exception, kindly
treated by them. I have seen very many acts of
noble self-devotion on the part .of husband on be-
half of wife, or of wife on behalf of husband or of
child ; but I could not possibly avoid seeing that
the ties of family were worn loosely, as well as corn-
foitably, by a large part of the community, and
that, in a most material respect, the morality of
the district was painfully low. I have seen rough
men become as women for a child's sake, and have
very seldom seen or heard in the pit-country of
children that were beaten or ill-used ; but I have
seen not unfrequently superfluous children, by a
sort of indirect murder, wilfully left to slip into the
grave, and I have seen gaps made in a household
by bereavement, bitter in the first few days, filled
up so speedily, and forgotten, as grief, so com-
pletely, as they could not be if the home ties were
really strong. It is a sad sight to see in four or
five adjoining houses the blinds down and shutters
closed, because house-fathers and sons have been
brought home dead from the pit ; but, of the
greater number of the mourners, the grief seems to
be over very soon after the blinds are up. Doubt-
less familiarity with sudden death breeds somepart
of this temper, which may have other causes.—

DENMARK.

A letter from Vienna, of the 26th, in the Cologne
Gazette, says : "A. long interview-took place yes-
terday between Baron de Budberg, Ambassador of
Russia to our Court, and Count de Buol, in re-
ference to the Danish question. The Russian
Minister represented the danger that would be
incurred were that question submitted to the Diet,
and be endeavoured to prove the advisability of
settling it in a general conference of the great
Powers. Count de. Buol replied that the fact of
the King of Denmark being represented in the
Diet removed all fears of danger. The question,
it is believed here, will be certainly laid More the
Diet."

RUSSIA.

The latest advices from St. Petersburg state
that investigations have been instituted in several
departments of the service in consequence of the
statements made by Sir R. Peel in his speech near
Birmingham. The result has been, it is said, to
prove the entire innocence of the persons incruni_
nated by Sir Robert.

The friends of peace in Russia express great,
satisfaction at the conclusion of the treaty between
England and Persia. At the moment when the
Emperor received the intelligence, Prince Gods_
chakoff happened to be with him, and received
the nei vs from the Emperor's mouth. The latter
exclaim ed in conclusion, " A la bonne heure ;
j' en sus tres content. Dites le ct 111. Wodehouse."
The Prince repaired immediately to our Minister,
and, a.liter conc,ratulating hifr, invited him to a
grand entertainment to be given in honour of the
occasion. The entertainment accordingly took place
in the, Hotel of Foreign Affairs on a very splendid
scale, and was attended by nearly every embassy,
with ti leir entire personnel. The Invalids, Northern
Bee, a;tsd the Journal of the Academy express their
satisfaotion also at the peace, though the former
scorns dissatisfied that England should obtain any
advantages by it.

CITY MANAGEMENT OP BUSINESS.

The "Administrative Reform Association" seem
to have destroyed the capability of the citizens for
managing public businc se. At least, if the conduct
of both the City Committees on Saturday last is to
be taken as a specimen of management, there never
was a time when " Reform" at home was more
needed.

Every one who has hai to do with elections
knows the importance of keeping a correct account
of the poll. Without tbiQ, the electors can never
tell the practical effect of their votes. Errors of
units must always occur ; but any good election
manager knows how to keep within a few votes of
the truth.

*Bearing this in mind, let our readers examine
with astonishment the following facts :
On Saturday afternoon, tbe Liberal Associat'on
r the four candidates put forth the final state of
the poll :
Rot', sebild 7,134
Duke ... ... ... 7,560
Crawford 6,440
Currie 5,016
Russell ... ... ••• 7,046
And on the same afternoon, Lord John Russell's
Committee published the following statement :--
Rothschild 7,236
Duke 7,086
Crawford ... 6,088
Currie ... ... ... 4,772
Russell 7,425

Now, just six-and-thirty hours after, the sheriffs
made their appearance on the hustings, and made
their official declaration of the real ntunbers, as
follow :
Sir J. Duke ... ... 6 664 •
Baron Rothschild ... 6,398
Lord John Raisell ... 6,308
Mr. Crawford ... ... 6,808
Mr. Raikes Carrie ... 4,519

So that the secretary of the reform committee
was out by 736 in the votes polled for Baron
Rothschild ; and the secretary to Lord John Rus-
sell's committee was wrong by 838, in the votes
polled by the same candidate.

Now, this sort of thing makes the publication of
the poll a mere farce. It would 139 as useful, and
save the trouble and expense of 'check clerks, to
publish the poll by guess, or probable estimate.

The Victims of " Voting in the Majority"
are, in their number, very rapidly multiplying.
Yesterday we enumerated thirty-five ! To-day,
this melancholy catalogue may be increased to
just exactly three over half a hundred ! Positively
no less than fifty-three, who have, by reason of
that one fatal vote, been shorn suddenly and in-
exorably of their political glory as popular repre-
sentatives. Exactly twenty-one are "retiring"
gentlemen. Thirty-two not finding it in their
hearts to yield to their inevitable fate voluntarily,
and with a good grace; have gone in and—lost !
They have been defeated ignominiously. They
have been rejected with scorn, as having been un-
faithful to their trust as Englishmen. They
present on this account so great an example, so
solemn a warning, so salutary a- lesson in their col-
lective downfall that we feel ourselves constrained
ti reproduce their names seriatim. Premising
while we do so, that the asterisks, wherever they
appear in the lists subjoined, denote those who
have suicidally tempted their own evil-fate, and,
so tempting it, have been defeated !

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY MORNING.

The Cunard Company's screw-steamer Emeu,
which was to sail from New York on the 19th, the
day after the Persia, is reported off Holyhead this

morning.

It is said that the intervention of the British and
French Governments for the arrangement of the
existing differences between the Austrian and Sar-
dinian Governments has been favourably received,
and it is hoped that diplomatic relations will be re-
stored sooner than expected.

The negotiations for the conclusion of a treaty of
commerce between the French and Russian Govern-
ments are concluded, and the treaty will soon be
reduced to writing. M. Baudln, First Sueretary
to the French Embassy at St. Petersburg, is ap-
pointed to conduct the negotiations.

Intelligence of the 23d from Corstaritinople
announces that the Grand Vizier had made a
communication to the various Legations to the
effect that he would expel, and confiscate the
property of, all Mussulman subjects who should
refuse the payment of military subsidies under
pretence of being under foreign protection.

The Russians are concentrating considerable
forces in Ekaterinodar and Anapa.
The successes of the Circassians are confirmed.
Mehemet Bey is taking energetic measures to
repel an attack by the Russians, which is thought
imminent.

The latest despatches from Athens mention that
the Senate had refused to hold any sittings tilt the
Ministry should have apologised to them.

LONDON, TUESDAY, MARCH 31, 1857.

The Victims of " Voting in the Majority"
are, in their number, very rapidly multiplying.
Yesterday we enumerated thirty-five ! Tc-day,
this melancholy catat)gue may be increased to

just exactly three over half a hundred ! Positively
no less than fifty-three, who have, by reason of
that one fatal vote, been shorn suddenly and in-
exorably of their political glory as popular repre-
sentatives. Exactly twenty-one are "retiring"
gentlemen. Thirty-two not finding it in their
hearts to yield to their inevitable fate voluntarily,

and with a good grace, have gone in and—lost !
They have been defeated ignominiously. They
have been rejected with scorn, as having been un-
faithful to their trust as Englishmen. They
present on this account so great an example, so
solemn a warning, so salutary a lesson in their col-
lective downfall that we feel ourselves constrained
to reproduce their natixes seriatim. Premising
while we do so, that the asterisks, wherever they
appear in the list 4 subjoined, denote those who
have suicidally tempted their own evil-fate, and,
so tempting it, have been defeated !

CITY OP LONDOI' ELECTION.

So, then, it is just as we supposed with regard
to the City of London. Sir James Duke not only
bravely and brilliantly heads the poll, but heads it
by several hundreds above both Baron Rothschild
and Lord John Russell. The numbers, as offi-
cially declared yesterday, stood thus for the-respec-
tive candidates :
Sir James Duke, Bart. ... 6,664
Baron Lionel Rothschild ... 6,398
Lord John Russell 6,308
Mr. Crawford 5.808
Mr. Raikes Currie 4,519
The friends of Lord John Russell who, towards
the close of last week, were talking so confidently
and boastingly of heading the,poll by several thou-
sands, must now look exceedingly small. There
is an end to their chuckle. His victory, as we
remarked yesterday, is worse than a defeat. Con-
sidering the agencies by which the noble Lord's
election was achieved, he must regard it as a
grievous disaster, instead of the brilliant triumph
which his friends predicted for him.
But not only must the noble Lord feel intensely
mortified at the position which he occupies on the
poll, considering the unnatural combination of
politicians by whose votes he was returned—he
must no less be humiliated when he finds that what
we stated. yesterday, respecting a most disgraceful
trick having been resorted to by his committee to
obtain for him an advantage by deceiving the elee-
tois, is unhappily too true. It is now proved by
the official declaration made yesterday, that his
committee, early on Saturday morning, clapped on
500 votes to the return list, which were never
given. Of course, the noble lord is not responsible
for this. On the contrary, no one could feel more
iudignant.at the unworthy expedient than he must
do ; but he must, nevertheless, be deeply hunii-
Rated at the thought that he owes a single vote to
so profligate a device. Morning Advertiser.

MIDDLESEX.

The metropolitan county, the representation of which
went begging after the retirement of Mr. B. Osborne,
now promises to be the scene of a fierce contest. Vis-
count Chelsea has rather tardily entered the field as a
Conservative candidate, but his cause has been zealously
espoused by all the influential members of his party,
and they appear likely to make up by vigour and
earnestness for their previous inaction. Lord Chelsea
claims the suffrages of the electors on several grounds,
among others that he has voted again-t the grants to
Maynootb, and also against measures having a tendency
to infringe on the due observance of the Sabbath. He
claims credit for having given Lord Palmerston a disin-
terested and ungrudging support during the war ; but
he disapproves nn aggressive foreign policy, and " can-
not allow that, in return for the energy he displayed in
the conduct of the war with Russia, Lord Palmerston is
entitled to that pledge of blind and unlimited confidence
which his personal adherents claim for him." Lord R.
Grosvenor is very unpopular with a numerous class of
the constituency in consequence of his Sunday Observ-
ance Bill, and as Mr. R. Hanbury, jun., has no pre-
vious Parliamentary experience to appeal to, and
Lord Chelsea, who has had a seat in Par Lament, with
a single interval, since 1841, promises to devote hi.
whole time to the local interests of his constituents, he
appears to embark in the contest with some advantages
in his favour. Mr. Hanbury has, during the last few
days, attended various public meetings of the electors,
and has entered into an exposition of his political princi-
ples which has been pronounced to be satisfactory. He
promises to give Lord Palmerston's Government a
hearty, general support, and to pay especial attention to
measures of moral and social improvement. Mr. Han-

INVERNESS AND NAIRN.

The half-yearly meeting was held at Inverness on
Tuespay—Mr. M'lntosh in the chair:
The SECRETARy read the report, an abstract of
which appeared in The Sun.
Mr. MATHESON, M.P., approved the course the
directors had pursued. They had plainly stated the
real facts of the case, and had not attempted to
"cook the accounts"' as bad been but too often
done in the vai❑ hope that thingswould come right
in the end. Such conduct ought to increase the con-
fidence of the shareholders in the board.
The CHAIRMAN said it was peculiarly gratifying
to the shareholders to hear the largest shareholder
in the company thus expressing himself; and he felt
the directors could not but be encouraged to put
forth every effort in their power to improve the
position of the company. He had no fear whatever
as to the future of the line. It would speedily im-
prove, and as they would in a snort time have one
unbrok'n line from Inverness to London their tra-
ffic would so increase as that the line must be a pay-
ing one.
The report was then adopted, and the meeting
was made special to authorise the directors to get
through Parliament to create a preference stock
and otherwise raise funds to complete the works and
extension of the line.
All the resolutions wore passed unanimously.

SOUTH WALES.

A huge pontoon, to be employed as a floating pier at
the terminus of the line at Neyland, Milford Haven,
was launched on Friday and floated to its position.
It was commenced in September, and consumed in
building upwards of 300 tons of iron, 600 tons of
timber, 5 tons of rivets, and 53/4 tons of bolts, so
that the materials weigh upwards of 900 tons. The
floating pier is 154 feet in length, 441 feet in width,
and 161 feet in dept. Mr. Brunel attended the
launch, assisted by several engineers. It is expected
that the present arrangements will afford sufficient
accommodation to all the steamers which now come
to the harbour, including the Pacfic.
