THE ELECTIONS,

The Conservatives are now beginning to hang their
heads very low indeed. Every appearance is against
them. They began the campaign jubilantly enough:
not a seat would be left uncontested ; at any rate if
they fell they would fall fighting hard. But now the
battle is being fought, it is their tried men and
true who are failing them. They find it
more than they can do even to make a
show of resistance over the posts which
they had considered unassailable, without trying
to carry fresh ones. It is stated very exactly,
in an "impartial " journal, that there are no less than
299 seats which will not even be contested. Nearly
300 members then are given to the Liberal party.
For only 800 (in round numbers) will there be
any chance. If one runs down thoSe in one's
own immediate neighbourhood, in which a contest
is to take plice, and finds in how many the Tories
have a likelihood of success, their chances throughout
the country will appear.
In Scotland, where the Conservatives, it was statea,
hoped to gain a few seats, there are some two dozen
spats uncontested, and amongst those which are con-
tested, the question is often between two Liberals.
There was something said about the Conservatives
carrying Edinburgh, and Lord Stanley, the most
popular man in the Ministry, was asked to come
fonvard. Feeling the hopelessness of the task
just much as the snugness of his present place, he
refused, and now three Liberals—M'Laren, Miller,
and Aytoun—are left to fight it out amongst them-
selves.

In Ireland the sky is to the Tory party equally
cloudy. " With few exceptions," says a Dublin cor.
respondent, " the present Liberal members offer
themselves for re-election, and in no single instance,
if I mistake not, is any opposition threatened by an
open and avowed Conservative candidate. On the
other hand, several of the Tory members have
announced their intention of not again presenting
themselves for re-election." At Dublin University
the Irish Solicitor-General is opposed by a Conserva-
tive. And this is the party which was at one time
noted for its splendid organisation at the elections.

The colonial markets are firm, without material altera-

it was at the beginning of the week, the wily exception
being in rum, which continues to move off steadily.
CORN.
The weather continues cold, and favourable for outdoor
work. Heavy rains have, however, fallen in various parts
of the country. At Birminhham, yesterday, the attendance
was fair, and business in wheat moderately active, at last
week's full prices. Barley, beans, and oats without
change. Peas were rather dearer. At Manchester there
was only a quiet demand for wheat, but last week's
rates were fairly maintained. Best flour was quite as
dear, but inferior sorts gave way 6d to is per sack. Oats
were ld to 2d per 15lb dearer, and oatmeal rose in propor-

DOULTON TRIAL.

BRUSSELS, Oct.
The judgment of the Court is short, but
severe in its comments on the alleged frauduc'eitg
misrepresentations of Doulton. The ground °%de
decision is that as those representations were ado
in a foreign country, and as the contract by
he gained a pecuniary advantage from theo,ooo
executed in a foreign country, and as it has not h'een
established that the Belgian shareholders had 'lot
induced to take the shares by any fraildLee
manoeuvres on the part of Doulton, the bin
with which he was charged does not collie Wit

The Public Minister will appeal against the 3

THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION.

The Round Table, of New York, contains some informa-
tion and comments, in the matter of the Abyssinian expe'
dition, which should be strictly investigated. " There is
being eitettlated," it says, " in the continental journals a
very remarkable letter, dated Jerusalem, JulylB, which, if
true, throws an entirely new light on the achievements of
the British arms in the late Abyssinian campaign. Could
teedit its etatements, nothing in modern history, not
even Tilfenne;li ifstitfneitt of the Palatinate, nor Tilly's
conduct at Magdeburg lfi the 'Thirty Yearn' War,
could equal the barbarities attendant on the storming of
Magdala. The attacking column, says the letter
referred to; eeMposed of Europeans, not of 1111*os, had
arrived on the rock Withfttt the least loss. Thii
was found lying in his blood. The Acers surrounded
the corpse. But their surprise did not last. Orin
began to tear off a piece of the dead monarch's
shirt, and dipped it into his blood for a keepsake. The
example was followed by others, and Theodore soon lay
there a ragged beggar. The troops dispersed through the
fortress in search of plunder. They found their way to the
treasury, and fell to quarrelling over its ornaments, jewels,
and gold like so many beasts of prey. Bars of gold, even
crowns, were broken into "pieces. Everything was demo-
lished—books, furniture, dresses, &c. What could not be
conveniently carried away was destroyed and ruined. Not
content with this wanton waste, they went and violated
the graves ; the bodies of the dead were dug up, deprived
of their clothing, searched and rifled, and then left exposed
on the ground. Even the corpse of the Abuna was exhumed
and robbed of the golden cross on its breast. The riot
rose higher and higher. A large number of matrons and
maidens belonging to the noblest families, who hoped to
(Ind safety at the fort, had their necklaces, bracelets, and
rings torn from their persons, were strippe
d naked, and
then subjected to the grossest outrages by he brutal l ust
of the soldiers. The officers, many of whom had got drunk
on the honey-wine found in the royal depots, could not or
would not interfere. Such is the account given of the
atrocities alleged to have been committed by the forces of
a civilised nation on the anniversary of one of the greatest
festivals in the Christian calendar. It certainly sounds
incredible, but where there is so much. nut! j is bard to

MU. NEWDEGATE AND DR. TEMPLE.

Dr. Temple writes to the Times to explain his pre-
sence at the late Conservative meeting at Rugby.
'fit the last election, it appears, he took the chair at
a Liberal meeting. Soon after a Conservative meeting
was held, when he was away for the holidays. Mr.
Newdegate afterwards complained to him that he had
met with very uncivil treatment, and thought the
doctor should not have kept out of the way. Not
wishing the hon. member to make the same complaint
again, Dr. Temple went to the door of the Town Hall on
Monday to be within call. Mr.Newdegate beckoned to
him, and he went to the platform, without any inten-
tion of speaking. He merely attempted to assist in
stopping the interruptions: He pays Mr. Newdegate
the compliment of testifying to his straightforward,
courteous, and friendly conduct. The case was dis-
graceful enough before; it is worse now ; and per-
haps the Globe may acknowledge that it was rather
hasty in condemning Dr. Temple's presence at the
meeting, without one word of blame for the bucolics
who bundled him out of the room.
THE ABYSSINIAN GAZETTE.

Mr. Disraeli cannot be said to have been sparing
in the bestowal of the Abyssinian honours, There
was a peer created, several K.C.B. and similar
decorations, a large number of advancements

were made, and altogether the announcements
in the Gazette made a " pretty batch." But
nobody seems to have been satisfied except
the immediate friends of those really ad-
vanced. " What about Mr. Rassam ? " cries one ;
and no sooner is the cry raised than fifty others
rise up claiming consideration for their pitiful
cases. Now it is for some officer who first led the
men to this place, again for one who stayed behind
and guarded stores in that place ; now for
some officer who was active, and again for
one who, forbidden to go forward, did not
chafe under inaction,—till now it comes to be
" rumoured " or " pretty generally understood," "in
military circles " or " at the clubs," that there is to be
another Abyssinian Gazette. If so, it is to be hoped
that the Premier will make a clean sweep, and leave
no " legacy of discontent " to the incoming Govern-
ment.

THE STRAW-PLAIT WORKERS OF DITNSTABLE.

Can anything possibly be done to relieve the
straw-plait workers of Dunstable and the neighbour-
hood, not by giving them charity, but by giving
them work ? ,That fashion will change is too much
to hope. But cannot the workers change ? Can
they do nothing but plait straw ? Artificial flowers,
combinations of silk velvet and ribbon, are all " some-
thing after their style." Are they so helpless as not
to be able to take this kind of work ? Or, if so,
there are certainly other uses to which straw
might be put besides bonnets. A correspondent of
the Daily News suggests that for the future all
these workers should be educated in the laws of taste

Extended, his suggestion would come to this : " Let
all who are dependent for their livelihood on the
fashions, and who may thus be turned out of work
at any time, learn some other and similar trade, so
that when the one fails they may have the other ;
or, at any rate, let their education be such as not to

WHEN A PERSON takes cold the lungs
become charged with phlegm, which, oppressing the
constitution, a natural effort is made for its relief—this effort is
a cough. The only safe and prudent remedies to be adopted are
those which assist nature in her work, by loosening phlegm, and
exciting a freedom of expectoration, until the evil is removed.
SPENCER'S PULMONIC ELIXIR

is admirably adapted to promote expectoration, ease the breath-
ing, loosen the phlegm, abate fever, allay the tickling which
occasions the cough, without tightening the chest; while in more
chronic disorders, as periodical coughs or inveterate asthma, it
is equally valuable in its effects, though of course longer perse-
verance in the use of the medicine is required.—Prepared with

CHB RECOGNITION OF THE NEW SPANISH GOVERNMENT.

The recognition of the Provisional Government was
preceded by a conference at the Tuileries, and there can
be no doubt that the step was the result of an agreement
between England, France, and Prussia, besides Portugal.
The Times correspondent says a Queen's messenger and a
French Cabinet courier arrived at Madrid on Friday
morning. On the next day the English, Portuguese, and
Prussian representatives waited upon the Spanish
Foreign Minister, but the French Ambassador
sent in a written communication. These diplomatic
measures have been marked by great caution. All the
!our Governments appear to have adopted one form of
imanialsal; _Ow interna-

national, not official, relations WWI the new Irs imam,
Government ; and the French document goes so far as to
express a hope that these relations may be regularised at
no distant date. The cold, formal tone of the English
note is said to have surprised the Spanish statesmen by its
contrast with the sympathetic expressions of the French
communication. General Prim, however, ought at least
to know that the reality is quite the reverse of the
appearance.

THE NATAL DIFFICULTY.

Professor Plumptre foresees so many elements of
discord in reopening the question of the Natal grant
at the next meeting of the Society for the Promo-
tion of Christian Knowledge, that he writes to the
Guardian to say that he thinks it better to accept a
fait accompli and let the matter alone. At the same
time precautions should be taken against like disas-
ters for the future. If the resolution of October 6
be rescinded, it will be brought forward again and
again with all the appliances of a well-
organised electioneering agency. If it be re-
affirmed and the grant augmented—a result at least
possible—the society will be committed more than
ever to the Bishop of Capetown's policy. The Pro-
fessor draws a melancholy picture of the accumula-
tion of motions, amendments, and difficulties, and he
himself is prepared to vote against all the resolutions
on the paper, except the proposal that no member
speak more than once at a meeting or longer than
ten minutes. It is hardly likely that the Professor
will succeed as a peacemaker, and we may look for
many " barren and distressing contests."

GREAT CENTRAL OF BELGIUif.

The traffic receipts on this company's line for the
month ending September 30 amounted, on 373
mile=, to £43,124, and for the same month last year
to £37,181, showing an increase of £5,943. The
total receipts from Jan. 1 to Sept. 30 amounted to
£341,965, and for the corresponding period of last
year to £281,226, showing an increase of £G0,739•

EQUITABLE GAS-LIGHT.
The report of the directors states that the net
profit for the half year ending the 30th of June last
amounted to £17,062, out of which the directors re-
commended the payment of a dividend of five Per
cent. for the half-year, less income tax. The bill
passed in the last session for the amendment of th°
Metropolis Gas Act, 1860, was limited to the City
of London and the district of the Chartered Co'rn
pany. The three companies supplying gas in the
City, and the Chartered Company in the whole of
their district, would be required on the Ist of Jan'
1870, to reduce the price, and likewise to raise the
illuminating power of their gas from 12 to 16
candles, for at least one year. It was hoped the
long-pending and costly agitation of the question
in .the metropolis would be discontinued, at 104
until those companies had had had an opportunity
of testing by experience the effect of the working
of the new act. The revenue account for the
half-year showed that £49,649 had been received,
and £32,586 expended, leaving a net profit °I
£17,062.

mu. GLADSTONE EXAMINED.

A Mr. James Pickering wrote seine questions
down for Mr. Gladstone previous to the Wigan
meeting,and presented himself at the meeting with
the expectation that Mr. Gladstone would answer
them in his speech. Mr. Gladstone has written him
a letter explaining why he did not deal with them.
He says : "Sir, the letter you have addressed to me
contains, under the name of questions, the whole sug-
gestion of an elaborate argument on the Church
Establishments of the country, which would have
required a speech in reply ; and it was not possible
for me, you not thinking fit to make the inquiries on
the occasion of the meeting at Wigan, to mould my
address to that meeting on the framework supplied
by you. You will, of course, have the opportunity
at the nomination of putting any interrogatories to
me which you think proper." Considering that the
questions submitted to . the right hon. gentleman
embraced not only the disposal of the property of
the Irish Church, but required from him a statement
of his course of action in case the dise,stablithme*
and disendowment of the English and Scotch Churches
were proposed, as well as his intentions with regard
to Ritualism, his reticence is not much to be wondered
at. Mr. Pickering replied that he wrote his questions
down because he did not wish to disturb the
meeting, and that he was afraid of a knock on the
head if he spoke. He is thus precluded altogether
from obtaining n answer to his question.

THE SOLICITOR-GENERAL ON THE EXPENDITURF.

Mr. Baggallay, the new Solicitor-General—the
fifth or sixth of the Conservative Administration—
has been talking at Hereford on the expenditure.
He said that Mr. Gladstone was charging the Govern-
n.ent with that for which he was himself mainly
responsible. Tie thought that the soldier ought to
have a larger salary than he used to have ; the
Government thought the same that caused an in-
crease in the expenditure. The Liberals said
that it was the duty of the country
to provide education for the children of poor
parents. Mr. Baggallay, we are happy to say,
thought the same ; so did the Conservative Govern
ment. Their opinion cost the country another
quarter of a million ; which, we may add, neither the
country, Mr. Gladstone, nor the Liberal party
grudges. So far so good. But in this way Mr. Baggallay
has not accounted for three millions, but only for a small
portion of that sum. Here is his argument as
to the rest. " The population of the country was
estimated to increase at the rate of something over
two millions in every ten years. Could they expect
that the population, say of 20 millions, in 1861
could be managed and governed for the same sum
that the population of 17 millions could in 1851
If we were increasing our population every day, it
stood to reason we must be increasing the expenses
of their government also." At the rate of three
millions per annum ?

INDIA.

The news that Ameer Shere Ali desires to establish
friendly relations with the British Government is of very
considerable importance. It shows that the Afghanistan
chiefs are beginning to be alarmed at the aggression of
Russia, and are disposed to seek our alliance with a
common object. Friendship between the Indian G overnm ent
and Shere Ali will place a barrier between our possessions
and those of Russia, and secure a friendly battle ground in
case the worst, which is anticipated in some quarters,
should ever arise.
