ELECTION OF A LIBERAL MEMBER OF PARLIA-
MENT, &C.
LONDON, April 26,-The Times, referring
to the election Of member OF Parliament
at Tamworth OH Wednesday last, when the
Liberal candidate was chosen by 400 ma
iority over his Conservative competitor,
says: "This remarkable verdict against
Conservative candidates cannot be explain
ed away" The Times adds "The truth
is that there is some growing impatience OF
the objections which, rightly or wrongly,
the British Government are supposed to be
raising to the assembling OF the congress OF
the Powers. The distinction between two
formulas-the one to which England object
ed, suggesting that the Powers should meet
to consider the changes to be Introduced
into the treaties OF 1856 and 1871, in con-
sequence OF recent events; and the other
(Which it is thought will be more accepta-
bIe). that the Powers should meet to con-
slider the treaties of 1856 and 1871, in rela-
ton to the treaty OF Stefano, it seems, is too
shadowy to be grasped by undiplomatic
minds"
LONDON, April ga leading editorial
in this mornings Times, referring to the
statement in dispatch from its St. Peters
burg correspondent that Austria is said to
be advancing towards solution on Il basis
of the other Powers taking suitable COM
pensation for the increased influence Of
Russia, says:
"The solution OF taking suitable compen-
sa:ions means, of course, that Turkey should
be further. despoiled to satisfy territorial
needs of its neighbors. Thus the battle
that may tomorrow be fought over one
crippled Power may the day after be fought
over three. England may fight on what it
feels is a Just cause, yet, after spending more
than we can spare OF our treasure and blood,
we may find ourselves filing a ditch over
which others walk quietly to the common
goal OF their aspirations. Europe OF course
now smiles upon US, cheers us on, and pre-
pares in our eyes the laurel wreath which
is to reward our first successes. 1t would
be more to the purpose il we were not left
alone to yindicate the treaties and fight the
battles Of Europe.

THE pOPE's LAST ESCYCLICAL-THE DEMAND
FOR THE RESTORATION OF HIS CIVIL
POWER.
LONDON, April 26.-The passage in the
Pope's eDcyclical, the issue OF which was
announced yesterday, regarding the civil
power OF the Church, is as follows: "The
hopes OF Itply and the world rest on the
beneticent influence Of the Holy See and
on the intimate union of all the faithful
| with the Roman pontiff. Ii therefore stands
| TO reason that we should, with all diligence,
do al in our power to preserve intact the
dignity of the Roman CATHEDRAL in order,
before all things, to guard the rights
and liberty of the Holy See. We shall
never cease to insist that our authority be
respected; that our ministry and our power
be left fully free and independent, and that
the position be restored to us IN when al
vine wisdom long ago placed us. It's no
vain desire OF dominion which moves US to
| demand the establishment OF our civil
power. We demand it because our duties
and our solemn oaths exact it; and because
1t is not only necessary to conserve fully the
liberty OF the spiritual power, but also pc
cause it is evident that when it is question
of the temporal dominion Of the Apostolic
See il involves the well-being and safety oil
the whole human family"
The Pope distinctly endorses the ponc!S
and acts OF his predecessor; condemns eiYi
marriages, and deplores the rejection OF the
authority of The Church, proclaim.ng tha'
