British Parties.

AS the time approaches for & new election in England, politics begin to arouse much in- terest. Of the unpopularity of the Tory ad, ministration with the people at large, there can be little doubt. The real point is whether the Liberals can agree among themselves on any administration and on any policy to suc- ceed Disraeli and Jingoism. The difficulty arises from the old Whig party. Two hundred years ago this was the radical party of the country, but now, on all questions of present interest, it is as conservative as the Tories themselves. The power of the Wings lies in the great landed interest of certain aristocratic old families who have dominated the party for century and half, and who mean tt do so still. They propose to substitute respec- table mediocrity from their own ranks for Lord Beaconsfield.
 The true English Liberals, on the other hand propose progressive, if not thoroughly Radical ministry, and they look to MT. Glad stone to be it's leader. The Wings. however, refuse to yield control to Mir Gladstone. They are about as much afraid of the people as the Tories themselves, and the recent popular dem- onstration in Scotland only intensifies their distrust of the man to whom the bulk of the Liberal party are looking for leadership.
 An important indication of the tendency of British politics towards decisive contest be- tween Radicalism and Conservatism, is to be found in the recent rejection of Mir. Walter by the Berkshire Liberals in favor of ga cultlvat- ed, able, and extreme Radical" Mir. Ashton Diike younger brother of Sir Charles Dilke. MT. Smalley, the English correspondent of the Tribune, reports that everywhere Icon stituences are more and more taking matters into their own hands," and that the Liberals are becoming more and more determined to strike for important reforms instead of allow ing few old Wings to dictate their policy, | and nominate their leader, as has been too of- | ten the case in time past

The Woodbury correspondent of the Ameri- can makes the following excellent suggestion which might give owners of stolen property of all kinds some chance for it's recovery:
 Frequent thefts of late of horses and vehi- cles have suggested the idea of a central s'Bu- reau of Information for this state and vicinity, to be located in Hartford, and best managed by. some one in the main telegraph office. The plan is this John Smith of Goshen in the morning finds his horse and carriage missing He examines carefully, then hastens to the nearest telegraph office and sends to the ''Bu- reau?" 'Young bay horse, medium size one white hlnd foot, new full plate harness, phae- ton and robe taken early Tn last night from Goshen" About the same time Sam Jones of Cheshire finds stray team abandoned, and telegraphs information to the same Bureau" Result is Smith in an hour finds where his team is, and Jones finds who isthe right owner. The details of the plan are easily arranged. Wonldn't such scheme prove great bless ing to all losers of bulky property.
