LONDON, Nov. 3O.-Gladstone, in a
speech at Greenwich, inveighed against
personal governments. He reproaohed
the government for not communicating
anything to Parliament relative to Afghan
affairs and the question of sending mis-
sion to Cabul, War had been declared
and invasion begun before Parliament was
convoked. Parliament, formerly the
Grand Council of the nation, now resem-
bles the Parliament of France before the
great revolution. He solemnly warns the
British people not to abandon the priuci
Piles of liberty which made its happiness.
Speaking of the Afghan war he declares
that the money spent therein is dishopor
to England and her responsibilities will
but commence with her victory. Lady

How did Wilson kow that Mr.. Red
mayne was any thing to her?
Mrs. Bell sent for Dir. Redmayne and
told him the remarkable circumstance.
He solemnly declared that he had never
let hint of the matter drop to any one
not even his own family. On returning
home Mr.. Redmayne carefully read
over the testimony given on Lewis trial.
One fact struck him like flash of light
ming. Lewis solemnly averred that he
lent his knife to Wilson the day of the
murder, and that Wilson never returned
it. Mr.. Redmayne laid the whole matter
before his lawyer, and before a week was
over wilson was lodged in jail.
The story Of his having fallen heir to
property was soon exploded, and the tes-
timony of two persons showed that on
the night Of the murder he was absent
from the inn. The landlord himself tes-
titled that he let him in between eleven
and twelve o'cock that night, and that he
was muf1led up and disguised. But still
there was something wanting to bring
home to him the crime Of which he was
suspected. His trunks were carefully
searched, and thcletter written by Mr.. Red
mayne, and handed to Mr.. Bell on the
very day he was murdered, was found al
the bottom Of one Of them.

With sunsets rosy glow,
Then hand in hand close linked we passed

And / was one-and-twenty, Mag,
And you were seventeen.
Your voice was low and sweet, Maggie;
Your wavy hair was brown;
Your check was like the wild red rose
That showered it's petals down;
Your eyes were like the blue spcedwell,
With dcwy moisture sheen,
When was onc-and- twenty Mag,
And you were seventeen.

And all its hopes were ours;
And we were children in the fields,
Among the opening flowers.

Amid the woodland green,
For was one-and-twenty, Mag,
And you were seventeen.

With sunshine and with shade,
And silvered is the silkon hair
That DER your shoulders strayed
In many soft and hayward tress-

When was one-and twenty, Mag,
And you were seventeen.
Though gently changing, Time, Maggie,

Your eyes the old love-light;
And years can never, never change
