The London correspondent. oiths Manchester

The London correspondent ol the Manchester
Guardian furnishes some anecdotes OF the re-
cent election at Dover, which throw an in
teresting light on the manner in which men,
members Of Parliament are sometimes elected.
He says that the day before the nomination
or ceremony which preceedes the polling, and
which, when there is no opposition, consti-
tutes the election, NJ. Bernsl Osborne, one Of
the Wing candidates, was informed that
French nobleman wished to see hum. The

attend on the hus:ings. OF course it Was cheer
fully given, and the CoaDt made his appearance
duly at II on the day Of nomination, intending
70 return to his residence BY the afternoon train
at 2. But from the hour Of nomination TILL
the moment fixed Tor his departure, the ground
before the hu>tings was one grand arena Of in
Vulnerable pr,ze fights. The .'other party" Of
course, bad brought down posse Of prize
fighters from London, and it somehow happened
that they found Osbornan 'roughs" ready 10
have it out with them. The Count after patient

going to begin, politely intimated to Mr.. %.
borne that he had now seen quite enough Of
English election proceedings, and took his de-
parture, no doubt much edited BY the striking
proofs OF British freedom which he had just
witnessed. It is said that Mr.. Osborne declares
that Admiral Sir II. Leeke and Mr.. Nicol, by
whom be and his friend Sir w. Russell we're
beaten, showed great tact in. their nightly pro-
cecdings before the polling day-hiring the
theater, where they regularly took their seats
in the boxes, surrounded BY their supporters,
with an unlimited .'tap" Of gin and water going,
and popular comic singer TO fill up the inter-

Why THE DELAY!-Wall street was consoled
and cheered yester day by the report, telegraphed
from Newfoundland, that, up to the 10th inst,
no fighting had taken place in Italy. This re-
vived the hopes OF peace, aud great was the re-
joic,nc, evea at this slender possibility. The
inference naturally drawn from the delay OF the
Auslrans is that the advance OF the armies has
been arrested by the intervention OF diplomacy;
and hence il is thought probable that the dit
hculty may yet be appeased without bloodshtd.
We are sorry to say anything to Damp the
pleasing ant'cipations OF our friend-; out we
cannot arrive at the rose-colOIed Interpretation
which they give to the news. That new at
tempt at mediation has been made by Engla
is very possible, and it is likely that the Aus
