too that the rural population amounts to about
seventy per cent of the whole population OF France
and that the peasants AFRAID to vote except as
the priest or the mare tells them Some of them are
so IGNORANT that 'they believe they are committing
an offence II they do bring back to the ballot the
very ticket sent them by the maire." and they call
the official ticket 4e bon bulletin" We are told that

the husband Is absent from the country, or at work

computing these successes we NAV leave Paris,
Lyons and Marse,es out Of the question, for such
constituencies could not be swamped by the most
sklfui manipulation without an immense ex-
tension OF the departmental area But Paris only

the same number between them. The rest of the
opposition comes from places which are not large

we are told, in NJ. Provost ParadOl's speech "has
escaped by sort OF miracle that man9uvre which
weakens the action OF centres by the too dOce votes

hardly have been repeated. The mere number OF

LORD Carnarvon while not altogether opposed to
the object OF the bill, recommended the exercise or
caution In matter that involved M cnsnge Ia .ne
and might have the effect OF mpairlng their usefui-
ness q coordinate branch OF the Legislature. AS
TO the amendment shadOwed forth by Lord cairns,
he doubted whether instead OF limiting the number
OF life peerages IL would not increase them.
Lord Penzance appreciated this warning, but
House OF Lords should not only represent realized
property but the active intelligence Of the country,
tried official capacity and distinguished service In
any OF the great public departments OF state. He
thought. therefore, II would be positive benefit 10
introduce some members who were dssOciated from
the possession OF land, and whose decisions could be
pointed TO as those OF persons who were not land
owners. He doubted however, whether the adms-
sion OF one life peer in year would meet the eau
sought to be attained, though should be taken
not TO confer life peerages upon persons who had
served the Ministers and not the State, by requir-
ing that they should only be awarded for dIstin-
Some remarks having also been made by the Duke
OF Cleveland the House went into committee, when
Lord Stanhope moved, as an amendment 10 the first
clause, that one life peerage might be created IN
year without qualification and second for dlstin-
guished services. To this Lord Russell, who has
charge OF the bl objected but intimated his readi-
ness TO alter the preamble by accepting the amend
ment OF Lord Cairns After some further dlscusslOn
in which the Marquis OF Salisbury and others took
part Lord Granville remarked that II their
iordships sent oown TO the Commons bill for the
creation OF one lie peer IN year, accompanied by
number OF petty restrictions and limitations, they
would cover themselves with much and not altogether
undeserved roicule Ultimately Lord Russell con-
senled to alter the clause by providing that two
peers only should be created annually instead or
four as proposed by the bi and tnat The total num-
Der OF such peers IN existence at any one period
should not exceed twenty-elght Lord Stanhope
thereupon withdrew his proposal and the bill was
amended in the sense indicated by Lord Russell
The bill then passed through committee, and at
half-past eight O'Clock, their ordships adjourned.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, May %, 1859.
With unlimited Joy announce to you that the ex-
pediti0n to the Bay OF Nlpe disembarked safely on
the coast OF Mayani, and the cargo is now In the
possession of the liberating armies. Scarcely was
the landing effected by the gallant men who CON-
posed the expedition. when they gave proof OF their
courage by resisting the attack of Spanish troops
OF the garrison of Mayan, who were driven or with
loss OF three chiefs and twenty soldiers killed. be-
sides sixty-two wounded OF whom twenty-five were
seriously so. 1t was severe lesson for the enemy.
Reinforced, however the latter attempted another
attack, but were compelled to retire with still
greater loss than before.
The successful landing of this and several other
expeditions the spirit OF enthusiasm which prevails
among the patriots, and the dscOur agement Of the
Spanish government which feels that the pre- stge Of
and their nquit0us followers IN state OF constant
dissatisfaction and Ill humOr, and frequently they
give vent to their feelings with insults ana 0utrages
from which not even the Spanish residents are ex-
empted.
In order to counteract as much as possible the
effect produced by the landing OF the expedition In
the Bay OF Ntpe, The Spanish authorities have pub
hshed false despatch OF an action at Maizani, but
the of hi affair so stupidity arranged that
It was nnbelieved even by the most ignorant
Spaniards.
The fact Is that after the two encounters already
referred to the whole expedition joined the patriot
forces, under the command of General Donate del
Marmoi and they Immediately lett the district Of

the precious cargo Of the expedition is in the pos

OF four or five small cases containing clothing aud

For Governor.

We arc glad to see that the Mineral
Point Tribune is out in an article in favor
of the staunch old wheel-horse of the Re
publican party, General David Atwood, for
the next Governor of Wisconsin. He is
constantly growing in favor with the press
and the people, and his chances for the
nomination are certainly second to those
of no man in the State. We hope to see
the Iowa county delegation go solid for
their old neighbour and tried friend, At
wood, for Governor. The Racine -Adr0
cate has a sketch which, after speaking oil
him in highly and justly complimentary
terms, closes as follows: In short, he is
the choice of the people for Governors and
will fill the position with ability and fidel-
ity. He has adorned every position ne
has ever held, and his name is now a
tower OF strength before the people. 20
