The Welshman

WELSHMEN THEIR SUPPOSED WAILS AND I WISHES. [FROM A CORRESPOXDEXTj The Celts are not only of the past and present, but they are the coming men, the worth of whose genius testifies to the fruitfulness of its future, a genius whose purity is at present represented in the humble and hard-working population, in whose breath there is at work a mysterious and restrained force ready to pro- duce great results in all branches of human pursuits." Is not this very like making capital of the mob P If it is not knavish, it is foolish. Although M Gaulle pro- claims that everything is ready for the great consumma- tion so devoutly to be wished for-that the train is laid and requires only the spark—that the aerial convoy is held to earth by silken strings which a snip will rend asunder, nevertheless the grand events can only occur, when the restrained force finds itself to be in a more favourable condition for its free development." So that after being told that the force is ready for immediate action, we have to wait not only for the development of that force, but also for the advent of circumstances favourable to its development! It would seem, according to M. Gaulle, that that mysterious and restrained force at work in the Celtic breast" has in birth or progress, in origin or development, a good deal to do with poetry for it appears that there exists in the Celt a profound and true feeling for the poetry existing in nature and for the events of every-day life;" and "the poets are not solitary dreamers, but they take an active part in the struggles for conquests." It further appears that this feeling is part and parcel of every Celt whether he will it or not: "it is not found elsewhere in civilized Europe, except in a certain number of minds formed by study wherefore, members of other races, notwith- standing their low intellectual status, originally, in com- parison with that of the Celt, may, by hard work, attain to that mental altitude which distinguishes the genius of the Gael and the Breton-or, in short, become mentally changed into a Celt. M. Gaulle, who was a French- man, has undergone this metamorphosis, and the path is open and inviting to any Saxon or Scandinavian who may desire to be one of those to whom To comprehend creation's mystery, 'tis given The hidden secret of those ties uniting earth to heaven It is possible that the sun of Celtism attains his highest altitude in Western Europe, where the simple Celt of the East has become the astute Indo-European of the West; the Sepoy developed into the Celt. As the earthquake has its undefinable premonitory symptoms- its unaccountable nervous perturbations-as the Indian mutiny was preceded by a gloomy disquiet, a series of something strange and yet not worth official notice; so amongst us and elsewhere there is now, according to M. Gaulle, a Malaise of the Celtic race." O,llnis populus ejus gemens." There is an unalterable faith in the future death shall not be accepted in the name of progress, or any other new fangled notion nor defeat without a struggle, although the Celtic soul is filled with an inexpressible melancholy. Alas, Bretons are full of grief." And Celtic writers of eminence have all a degree of malaise and," observes M. Gaulle with too much candour, "in fact of disease!" for, "as the body of a wrestler struggles against fever, so do their energetic souls chafe under the restraints of a strange disease." Yet Celts know not despair their tenacity cannot be reached. The time seems now arrived to employ energetically for their preservation and progress the moral force which they have so preciously guarded Well, after all, the force is a moral one. This is soothing—Vempire c est paix. It is not that the way is clear and that obstacles are few but action is I' possible, and that suffices. Their efforts will find sympathy in the whole world But what are the efforts to be ? The recovery of the lead ? What else can be inferred from Gaels and Bretons know, and better still their enemies,—if the Celts had ever been displaced from the van. Here is an avowal of enmity and enmity is first cousin to war. Take this and other things in connexion with the suppressed paragraphs of the true station of "the Celts of the nineteenth century," and the animus of M. Gaulle and his compatriots can pretty safely be inferred. Or this, "The surrounding causes of decay and ruia are suffi- cient to inspire us with serious fear; not that cowardly fear which causes one to quit the field of battle, but that reflective and prudent apprehension of danger so necessary to fit us for all emergencies, and which ensures victory. The wages of persistence and endurance are sufficiently great and glorious, we think we have proved, to give confidence to the more irresolute; but that confidence will prove vain if it does not act. It is not possible for any resistance, purely passive, however determined it may be, to brave indefinitely the con- tinued action of destructive force, fcoble though it may seem." Whatever the notions and interests of M. Gaulle may be, his phraseology abounding as it does in, if not confined to, military metaphors, is vastly more signifi- cant of physical than moral force and indeed be the dream what it may, there can be no doubt that if moral force be deemed insufficient for its realisation, and if there existed a remote chance of obtaining even an in- significant aid from the other force, that other would be put in requisition. But at page 39 a sudden descent is made from the region of romance-the dangers threaten- ing the Celts, "and the measures of defence which the nature even of these dangers so evidently indicates," are promised to be forthwith denned. the cnapter in wnicn this is to be done is headed, National Languages, Citi- zens, and Peasants," and commences with a bit of Taliesin, thus— Un ffydd, un iaith, un galon," which may be freely and no doubt correctly rendered thus—the Celtic is the only true faith—the Celtic is the olny true language,—the Celtic is the only true sentiment of genuine humanity all else, and their professors are false, vile and hypocritical, and are to be mentioned and treated as only Cas bethau katwg Llyma'n hwy'n ainhvg, Gwerin anghyvraith Divrawd ac anraith This is a specimen of the charity and benevolence of of Celtism. A man of the world who lived some five hundred years before Taliesin, but of course immensely inferior to Taliesin, notwithstanding that a great num- ber of silly people did, do, and will, revere his memory, and admire his works, has placed upon record not 11 one faith, one tongue, one heart," but the very opposite; namely- Tot homines quod scntentioo," and the ways of the world, and daily experience endorse this apophthlegm, not that. But the Celt is to die for his language which is an outward sign and rampart of his national existence," which nevertheless is being gradually set asido in most towns." In Armorica, the peasants, for convenience sake, and for their interests, learn a little French, and it is admitted that the cstab. lishment of French schools has conferred great benefits but in these schools the use of Breton is forbidden. One of the principal impediments to the Breton (also Welsh) becoming the first instrument of education, is the absolute want of works in the Breton language suit- able for instruction in the various branches of know- ledge, that of religion alone excepted." In Armorica, as in Wiiles, people, notwithstanding the poets, do send their children to the Government schools; and for this M. Gaulle deems it necessary to apologise thus, "For all those who are desirous to develop their understand- ings by study, French (or English) ia the language of science, Breton (or Welsh) that of ignorance. How can we then be astonished that parents when they have an opportunity are glad to send their children to these schools where (M. Gaulle incongruously observes) they very generally learn to scorn their mother tongue, and the customs in which they have been brought up P Some- times, also, they learn to look with contempt on those same parents, who, by most painful sacrifices, gava them the opportunity of acquiring that incomplete and false instruction which now fires their vanity." Is genius generally innate, or acquired ? Innate. Then how is it that Celtic genius (it there be that species of genius) which is worth the trouble of such great exertions to preserve it to the word" is not paramount to all educa- tional clap-traps, designed or calculated to make its juvenile possessors break the fifth commandment ? M. Gaulle deems the Celts of Wales in spite of the En- glish schools and English teaches," better off than their brethren of the Highlands, and of Ireland, owing, not to a genius more brilliant, but to the greater number of Welsh books on popular education. But what or where these books are it is not stated. As an interesting matter of philology in connection with the Welsh language, and, as it appears, with the Breton, the fol- lowing remarks of M. Gaulle are something tangible, pretty sensi ble, to the point, and free from bounce and bombast. A still greater danger than outward perils threaten our national idiom it is the slow but progressive change which is at work in its own breast. The general language is spoken with remarkable purity in the provinces which are distant from the great centres of population; but as towns and cities, and in their immediate neighbourhood, where its use is general we cannot deny that it has suffered severely. As regards the written language, the evil of which we have old traces, has always been on the increase, as we prove by comparing with each other the various editions of books printed in the Breton language for the first time two centuries age. These books, usually compiled in imitation of foreign ones, were by ecclesiastics accus- tomed to think and write in French, whoso orthography very fantastic, full of neology, and as little Celtic as possible in meaning or construction, being the intellectual food of all who can read, exercise the most baneful in- fluence on the idiom spoken by the people, with the cor- rupt language of the upper classes. The progress of the evil was at length arrested at the commencement of the present century by the courageous initiative of Le Goai- dec—an initiative which assures to him for ever the gra- titude of philologists, and still more of every Breton. He re-established the ancient orthography at once national and logical, the only one in Western Europe, if we except the Welsh, where the sounds and letters ap- pointed to represent them correspond to each other in an established and regular manner. He will regenerate the written language by the principles of his admirable grammar, and by the examples of his work from which be has rejected, with scrupulous care terms of doubtful origin. Little later appeared the Barzaaz Breir, which, without considering here, except in a philological light marks with precision the state of the purity of the lan- guage spoken in the country, and furnishes to all writers the best model to follow. The initiative of Le Gonidec and M. de la Villemarque have inaugurated the era of our philological and literary regeneration. In their wake, and influenced by their example, several writers, whose talents equals their patriotism, now display the same ardour in upholding tho language of their country as their fat hers evinced in preparing to defend the soil, on that new battle field," &c., &c. The reader will observe the proclivity of the Celtic, M. Gaulle towards the warm words if not the determined ways of war when discussing a subject so cold in its nature as philology. Defence of territory and fields of battle." Further 011, after naming several Celtic writers who have lately de- parted this life, M. Gualle thanks God that the comba- tants are always numerous," and says, of Celtic prose writers are unfortunately but few, they become like the few infantry of the Prince de Conde, "greater under fire." M. Gaulle forgets that suitable themes for Celtic prose writers are scarce. Prose is an uncommon poor vehicle for nonsense; it is therefore not at all strange that it is al ways under a rhythmical form that the inspiration of the Celts appear most willingly, and find more ready welcome with the people, who in Brittany are blessed, it seems with crowds of bards, inheritors of the ancient harp, whose songs sell by thousands on Sundays in the towns." The Celts of Armorica, then, are not Sabba- tarians; but these Sunday sails it is affirmed, "console them in their miserable condition." "Honour, then, to those brave and hard working champions that is, to the composers of songs for the Bretons. Nevertheless, however admirable their efforts, M. Gualle declares them to be absolutely insufficient. A moral union in Celtic countries is, he thinks, the first object (next or last rather can't be first now according to his own shewing) that should be tried; "and it is," says M. Gaulle, easy to understand the immense social and po- litical Celtic advantages which would result." If M. Gaulle would advocate that one politically united people have but one language, his ad vocacy on the general principle, doubtless, would be triumphant but on the question of what that language shall be M. Gaule's views, cannot but be overthrown. English in Wales, and French in Brittany, must pre- vail in the long run, however long that run may be. Upon the question of language, and upon- the relation of landlord and tenant, M. Gaulle says: In French Brittany (and he might have added in Wales), a line of demarcation deeper and deeper tends to widen the breach between the inhabitants of town and coun- try. The former, setting aside the national idiom, have very imprudently relaxed the intellectual tie, which united them to the latter. These, too, frequently forgotten and despised by the citizens with whorit they had no longer ideas and language in common, gradually became accustomed to consider them as strangers, and returned scorn for scorn." But here M. Gaulle attri- butes the enmity not to a difference of race, but to a difference of occupation and habits -a mere case of oppidan versus pagan, town and gown, cockney and country, intensified by a different fashion of speech. It is clear that M. Gaulle in this part of his essay has not only changed his base of operations, but his line of action is altogether new he no longer sets Celt against Saxon, but embarks generally on the important question of landlord and tenant, ignoring totally the matter of race and quoting M. du Chatellier, says The agricul- turist confined more and more to his small domain, each day separates himself farther from the townspeople, so that few of them would know him except by the rents which ho pays his landlord, with whom many agricul- turists are frequently obliged to have intercourse by means of interpreters. Some landlords, thus isolated from their tenants, have already gone so far as to break off their relations with them, and let their farms by means of public auction or open adjudications with their attorneys. What will be the result from this deplorable mismanagement can be easily foreseen if the farmer and his land should thus become a mere object of specula- tion for the landlord, who would be sufficiently impru- dent thus to separate himself at the same time from land and tenant." Well, if this view be in any way an emanation of Celtic science then that science is at cross purposes with Adam Smith and political economy. The penny and the pennyworth must not go together the choice must be made between Free Trade and Feudalism. The latter has long passed its zenith the former is in its first quadrant: and practically every man is doing what he likes with his own; and in cash, suit, or service, secures or endeavour to secure the quid pro quo, all professions to the contrary notwithstanding. M. Gaulle, with the aid of Chatellier, proceeds to warn townspeople on the dangers they incur in separating themselves from the peasants, whom they would make a type of ignorant and stupid immobility but who are likely by their love of independence, intelligent and persevering work, to become almost everywhere masters of the soil and to constitute in the country a wealthy class," &c. M. Gaulle afterwards proceeds to discuss celtically the im- portant question of education-that of the Celtic Union -and somewhat extensively of Ab Ithel." These matters shall be hereafter referred to in an article which shall conclude this communication. (To be continued.)

THE ELECTIONS. I ifhe second series of the election contests may be said to have commenced on Tuesday. Last weeh was devoted to the boroughs and to those counties in which there was no demand of a poll. This week is almost exclusively devoted to the contests in the counties and by Friday night we shall be enabled to tell the political constitution of the new House of Commons to within some half-a-dozen votes. Yesterday witnessed some important contests. To-day we have several that are interesting on hand. To-morrow may be put down as a dies non from the fact that Sunday counts as a clear day in the interval between the nomination and the polling, while of course no nomination took place on that day. Thursday will witness some of the most exciting fights in the counties, and by Friday, as we have said, the results will be known in all save some three or four constituencies. Regarding the results of Tuesday we have little to say, but that little is cheering in the extreme. these great county contests in England all ended in a de- cided triumph for the Liberal cause. In North Staf- fordshire the Liberal candidate, Mr Butler, headed the poll, and dispossessed his Tory antagonist, Lord Ingestre. In East Sussex, where there was a close contest for complete possession of the representation hitherto divided between the political parties, the Liberal candidates, Mr Dodson and Lord E. Cavendish, succeeded by a decided majority and in South Wilt- shire Mr Grove, the Liberal, won a scat for his party from Colonel Bathurst. If we add to this the unop- posed substitution of Mr Sanderson for Colonel Max- well in Cavan, we find a total gain of four seats on the day, against which we have not occasion to set a single loss. Put together with the clear gain of fifteen upon last week's elections, this makes a total of nineteen seats wrested by the Liberals from their opponents up to the present time. As we have been tolerably correct in our anticipations so far, our Conservatiue friends may perhaps pay attention to our assurance, that we have at least half as many more similar defeats in store for them during the next three days. Of the one important set-off which they are likely to have against us we do not desire at present to say too much. There appears to be no doubt that Oxford University has ostracised Mr Gladstone, and whether the act is the more dishonourable to the constituency or the candidate we shall leave others to decide. Nor is it our business to settle the question whether it is a help to the cause of Conservatism that Mr Gladstone should be member for South Lancashire rather than for the University. Our opponents have no doubt beaten us. They know as well as we do the price they pay for the victory which the declaration of the poll will no doubt give them this evening.-Globe.

AMERICA. NEW YORK, July 4, 9 a.m.—The President is still indisposed. He has, however, issued a Proclamation including South Carolina in his system of restoration, and appointing Benjamin F. Perry, of that State, its Provisional Governor. All the seceded States except Florida have now either provisional or elected local Governments. The Italian Government has officially notified to the"Federal Government its intention of rescinding all restrictions upon Federal cruisers visiting Italian ports, and adds that Confederate vessels will only be admitted to such ports in cases of extreme ne- cessity. General Meade, under date of the 28th ult., announced that Potomac Army, as an organization, had ceased to exist. Such of its troops as had not been mustered out of service (about 15,000) he directed to be formed into a provisional corps of three divisions of three brigades each, and' concentrated at some conve- nient and healthy location on the Baltimore and Ohio Railway, west of the Monocacv River, thence to report to General Hancock, commanding the Middle Depart- ment. Officers deprived of commands by this change are to return forthwith to their homes, and report by letter to the Adjutant General. On the 1st inst. Gene- ral Meade assumed his new command of the ,? Military Division of the Atlantic." The Confederate Commis- sioner of Exchange. Robert Ould, confined in Rich- mond since his arrest in May last, has been uncondi- tionally released. The internal revenue during the year ending the 30th ult. amounted to 206,500,000 dols. In consequence of the recommendation by the municipal authorities that both yesterday and to-day should be observed in celebration of the anniversary of American independence and the restoration of peace, there have been no transactions at the different exchanges since Saturday. Yesterday the street price of gold was 140. To-day-business is universally suspended. July 6.—The President has approved and promul- gated the findings and sentences in the conspiracy trials. Payne, Harrold, Atzerot, and Mrs. Surrat are to be hung, at Washington to-morrow Dr. Mudd, Arnold and O'Laughlin are to be imprisoned, with hard °ur for life and Spangler to be imprisoned, AV| hard labour, in Albany Penitentiary, for six years. In 1 delphia the Provost-Marshal has, by order ?'o? ,v.h- ington, surrendered the prisoner Cossens to the She rff. Judge Thompson has since released him, declaring that the President's powers to suspend the habeas corpt con- ferred by Congress terminated with the war. 4 e h of July was celebrated in this and other northern cities by the customary display. NEW YORK, July 8, Morning.—Payne, Harrold, At. zerott, and Mrs. Surratt, were hanged yesterday- The judge of the Supreme Court had previously selve, a writ of habeas corpus on General Hancock in Mrs- Sur- ratt's case, which, by President Johnson's order, was not obeyed. Large numbers of Federal troops are land. ing along the Texas coast and mouth of Rio Grande (jOOO troops, mostly coloured, have arrived at Brazos, A detachment has been sent up the river, ancia has occupied the Eagle Pass. The correspondent of the JSeu: lor/; ILerald reports that large quantities of cot-ton are still in the interior of South Carolina, the planters holding it back under the belief that another crop call- not be raised under the new labour system. T1he /-« a, also states that the Government have received official information that Spain will surrender the Stonewa to the United States. It is stated that Payne, previous to his execution, exonerated Mrs. Surratt, and that another person has subscribed to an affidavit impeacjmg he testimony of an important witness against her.

Lord Cranworth, the new Lord Chancellor, has ap- pointed Mr Lushington, ot the Chancery Bar—son of the Right Hon. S. Lushington-to be his Chief Secre- tary and Mr Scott of the Chancery Bar-who was for- merly secretary to Lord Chelmsford-to be his Second Secretary. PREFERMENTS AND APPOINTMENTS.—Rev G. F.

A HINT 'fO HOUSFWIVEs.-At this season of the year the iropoitant process of bleaching and dressing Laces and Lin- ens for Spring and Summer wear commences, we could particularly call the attention of our fair readers to the Glenfield Patent Starch, an article of primary importance in the getting up 0' these articles. The Glenfield Patent Starch is specially manufactured for family use, and such is its excellence, that it is now exclusively used in the Royal Laundry, and Her Majesty's Laundress pronounces it to be the finest Starch she ever had. Her Majesty's Laco Dres- ser says it is the best she ever tried, and it was awarded two Prize Medals for its superiority. The manufacturers have much pleasure in stating that they have been ap- pointed Starch Purveyors to H.R.H. the Princess of Wales. The Glenfield Patent Starch is sold by all Grocers,Chandlers, &c., &o, The case of the Hon. Richard Bethell was again before the Bankruptcy Court on Saturday. Among the creditors whose claims were brought forward was Mr Welch, the registrar of Bankruptcy for Leeds. His claim was for JS1050, and as he swore that he did not give the money in order to obtain Mr Bethell's influ- ence with his father to obtain a situation, the claim was admitted. THE ROUPELL FORGERIES.—The report recently in circulation that further legal proceedings would be taken in reference to the transactions in which the convict Roupell was concerned has been contradicted: and it is now stated that the whole of the disputed claims have been compromised, and arrangements have been come to between the heir-at-law, Mr Rbhard Roupell, and the different owners of the pro- perty that was purchased under the deeds executed by William Roupell, that will obviate the necessity of any further legal proceedings. It will be recollected that two actions were tried, one of which related to an estate near Kingston, which was compromised by the owner agreeing to pay one-half of the value of the pro- perty, which was estimated at £ 15,000 to Mr Richard Roupell; and the other had relation to another estate, worth about £ 12,000 in the neighbourhood of Romford. The action was tried at the Chelmsford Assizes in 1863, and after a long enquiry, the jury were unable to come to a decision, and they were discharged without giving a verdict. The value of the property claimed by the heir-at-law, and to obtain which he brought his actions of ejectment against those persons who had purchased under the alleged forged instruments executed by the late William Roupell, was estimated at over £ 200,000 and in the course of the negotiations that ensued it is stated that the proposition of the heir at law was that the parties should pay half the estimated value of the different properties, as had heen done upon the occasion of the first action, but this proposition was not ac- cepted. The terms finally agreed to are said to be, thnt the heir-at-law will receive about £ 50,000 and fresh deeds will be executed that will have the effect of securing all parties who have purchased the differ- ent estates in the quiet and undisturbed possession of their property. William Roupell. the self-convicted forger, is still in one of the Government prisons under sentence of penal servitude for life, and, as his evidence will now not be again required, he will, no doubt, very shortly be sent to the convict establishment at Bermuda. The melancholy colliery explosion at Tredegar, by which between twenty and thirty lives were lost a short time ago, has been under investigation by a coroner's jury ever since. On Thursday the inquest was brought to a close by the examination of Mr Bedwell, the manager, and Mr Brough the inspector of mines. The former witness admitted that he knew there was an accumulation of gas in the pit, but he did not take immediate steps to clear it, as there was no danger unless some one went directly to the place with a light. It appeared that a boy thoughtlessly did so, and the explosion occurred. The jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against the manager. THE EMIGRANT SHIP WILLIAM NELSON. The Journal du Havre announces that the following good news has been received in a despatch from St. John's, Newfoundland, under date of the 3rd inst.:—"Thirty passengers of the William Nelson, which was burnt at sea on the 26th ult., while on her passage from Ant- werp to New York, have been landed here by the Meteor, bound from Porto Rico to Qucenstown." A GREAT MAN IN HIS OWN ESTIMATION. I fought the great battle of the Crimean war.—(Loud cheers.) I turned out a Ministry. (Cheers.) I changed a policy. I relieved the army of England.— (Enthusiastic cheers.) I have withstood all temptation, and here I am, plain John Arthur Roebuck. I am now aO'ain soliciting your suffrages, when I might have been something very different. (Hear, and applause.) I say that. this does hurt me, not only for myself, but for you.-Speeclt of Mr. Rocbuck at Sheffield. A labourer, at Woolwich, named Jones, was appre- hended a short time ago, on the charge of having murdered his infant child, and of having poisoned its mother. It appeared that his wife died soon after giving birth to the infant, and it was taken charge of by her sister. The father soon after took the child from the sister, and a day or two after the body was found in the river with marks of violence. It was proved that on the same night on which he took away the child he was seen to throw a bundle into the river. It was then remembered that the illness of the wife was suspiciously like that produced by poison. The body was then exhumed, but no trace of poison was found. He was, therefore, acquitted of that charge, but the coroner's jury found him guilty of the wilful murder of his child. John Hughes, a soldier in the 26th Regiment of Foot, was found guilty at the Winchester assizes, on Satur- day, of the wilful murder of a woman named Clements. He attempted to prove an alibi, and accounted for his time from eleven o'clock at night to six in the morn- ing. But be bad left a beer-shop with the murdered woman at half-past nine, and he was unable to explain where he had been from that time till eleven. The Jury found him guilty, and the Judge sentenced him to death. Dr. Pritchard, moved as it is asserted, by the entrea- ties of his daughter, has made what is called a confes- sion. It is a most unintelligible affair. He states that he had become intimate with Mary M'Leod, and in May last year produced a miscarriage, that Mrs Prit- chard knew of this intrigue and endeavoured to cover it, that she had become exhausted from want of sleep, and that at her own request he administered chloro- form. It was about midnight. Mary M'Leod was in the room, and in an evil moment (being besides some- what excited by whisky) I yielded to the temptation to give her sufficient to cause death,—which I did." He denies any share in the death of Mrs Taylor, alleg- ing that the aconite found in her opiate was put in after her death, in order to create the idea of misadventure. It is exceedingly difficult to understand the motive of this strange statement, which is as inconsistent with the known facts as with the criminal's former defence. We have suggested one possible solution in another place, and add another here It is possible, from the wording of the confession-which it took him two hours to write—that he intends to deny any premeditation at all and any use of antimony, and so reduce a singularly deliberate and cruel murder to a murder committed under sudden temptation. What good such a tale is to do him or his children no one can perceive, while it in- flicts a further and, to judge by the evidence, a wholly undeserved blow upon his victim, Mary M'Leod. OXFORD UNIVERSITY ELECTION.—On Tuesday even- ing the poll was finally closed. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has been defeated, and Sir W. Heathcote and Mr Hardy have been returned. The numbers were as follows :—Heathcote, 3,236 Hardy, 1,904 Glad- stone, 1,724. THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER IN LAN- CASHIRE AND MANCHESTER.—Mr Gladstone arrived at Manchester on Tuesday, and addressed a very crowd- ed and enthusiastic meeting at the Free Trade Hall, at three o'clock. It wat only known three hours before that the right hon. gentleman would address the electors. Mr Bazley, M.P. for Manchaster, was in the chair. The following members of Parligment were present :—Mr Hadfield, Mr Pender, Mr Platt, Mr Potter, Mr Barnes, and Mr Cheetham. A resolution, approving of Mr Gladstone as a fit and proper person to represent South Lancashire in Parliament, was passed unanimonsly and enthusiastically. Mr Mill's election has been a bitter trial to the Morning Advertiser and the Record. The former paper, in an article almost inarticulate with the intellectual -+C\n+A" 1:1,£1 ,"DrI,)'\li'- stammering ot excessive u,uu. cates in sentence after sentence, each of the same import as the last, with that feebly forcible reiteration sometimes noticeable when anger has struck a brain suddenly with verbal sterility, the assertion that Mr Mill can no longer speak of his intellectual indepen- dence, but must rank henceforth as the mere hanger-on of the Grosvenor family, by whom he has been forced on a reluctant constituency. The Record, as in duty bound, bears its crosses with more dignity. It hopes that the election of Mr Mill may still be over-ruled for the good" of his associates, who will learn in time to blush" for their connection with him. In short it delivers over West- minster to this philosophical Satan for the destruction of the flesh," if by chance their spirit may be saved, and ejaculating Shouldst thou help the ungodly, or love them that hate the Lord ?" wishes its hands of the unholy alliance" between the wealth of the noble House of Grosvenor" and the great modern thinker. Perhaps the Record is incapable of believing in our seriousness, when we say most seriously, that we believe the only true ungodliness" and hate of the Lord" manifested during this contest has found expression in its own pages. Even the Morning Adver- tiser has probably been quite innocent of anything worse than profound ignorance and stupidity.

REVIEW OF THE CORN TRADE. I LONDON, MONDAY. I Though the weather of the past week has been partly cloudy, with occasional shoivers, it has on the whole been favourable to the harvest, and exceedingly so to tho grass lands and root crops. A great deal of rain it appears has fallen in Europe, and been everywhere wel- comed but the drought in Southern Russia, we fear, is generally past remedy, and has already lessened shipments thence. Progress has been making in Sou- thern and Central France with the Rye and Wheat gatherings, neither of which gave satisfaction as to the yield, though the quality is reported to be good. Some of the latter has been offering at Paris at about 42s 6d per qr., the colour being fine. The tendency of prices was downwards, but in the Southern Departments there was some firmness Belgium and Holland have rather given way, as well as Hamburgh, but throughout Ger- many very litte difference of value is noted. Accounts of our own crops continue to come widely different as to Wheat, the clays and strong lands being full of promise but from Norfolk, the Fens, and light soils we expect poor returns. Barley also, as well as Wheat, differs ma- terially, but the late rains will make some fine samples if well gathered Other Spring Corn has derived much benefit, but Oats still are expected to be very deficient. Wheat prices have been steady through the week, many fields being laid but as the previous drought was against the growth of weed i, some fine breezes may set all to rights again. With a further decline of gold in New York, there has been a like reduction in Breads'uffs, the want of a good expert demand being soon felt under accumulated stock; but the starvation which exists in Georgia, as the fruit of the late war, it appears, is going to be provided for by the Government, and may lead to a steady Southern demand for some time, as the cultiva- vation of the soil was impossible in the fearful conflict raging there. With Rye cutting in this country com- menced, and other grain speedily to follow, our prices will now be determined by the state of the weather; and we hope, both for farmers and the country, that will be favourable from the commencement to the conclusion of the harvest. Last week's arrivals were large in foreign oats and wheat, but of other grain and flour moderate. The morning's show of samples from Essex and Kent was moderate. Business was dull. The sales made were few, but the previous Monday's rates were demanded. In foreign but little was passing, the fine weather of the past week being against a brisk trade, but there was no quotable charge. The trade in country qualities was heavy, but prices of Norfolks, as well as the better marks, were unaltered Barrels continued relatively dear, but French were a slow safe. In town-made flour there was no change, the highest quotation being still 40s per sack. Of British barley there were 130 qrs., of foreign 9,620 qrs. The business was almost exclusively in foreign, and prices were rather in favovr of buyers. Very little was passing in malt, and prices remained without alteration. Of oats there were 66,390 qrs.— viz., 86 qrs. English, 301 qrs. Scotch, 65,993 qrs. foreign. Such a large arrival, after the late heavy re- ceipts and highly favourable weather, made a dull trade, and prices gave way fully 6d per qr. excepting very extra qualities. Of beans there were 301; qrs. native, and 1,721 qrs. foreign. English and foreign qualities were fully as dear. Of English pe&s there were 20 qrs., of foreign 765 qrs. The tendency of prices was upwards, both for boilers and hog feed. CURRENT PRICES OF BRITISH GRAIN AND FLOUR IN I MA.KK-LA.NE.

I The Paris Flour market during the past week has been quiet, with prices much the same, say from 43f. to 47f. per 157 kilos, (equal to 28s, to 30s. 6d. per 280 lbs.) for the finest qualities. Commercial Flour finished with more firmness. The Wheat trade was without interest, both sellers and buyers not being very anxious to operate, and the demand was strictly limited to daily wants, A fair show of samples were exhibited, prices varying from 24f. to 26f. 50c per 120 kilos. (37s. to 41s. 9cl. per qr.) to have pressed sales would have occasioned some decline. Some new from the centre were offering at 27f: per 120 kilos. (42s. 6d. per qr.) the colour fine, but the quality partly affected by excessive heat. Rye remained firm at 16f. per 115 kilos (26s. per qr.) Barley had slightly improved in value, the best being quoted 14f. 25c. per 100 kilos. (22s. 6d. per qr.) With the weather unsettled the Oat trade was dull, and to have sold freely less money must have been taken. Choice De Brie was quoted 18f. 50c. per 100 kilos. (23s 6d. per qr.) inferior 17f. 75c. (16s per qr.) Holders of Rapeseed were demanding higher rates, but Trifolium incarnatum was offered plentifully at 45f. to 45f. 50c. per 100 kilos, or bale. The country Wheat markets were quiet. At Antwerp, after plentiful rains, they had exper- ienced fine weather. Barley was about to be cut as well as Rye. The crop of Oats as well as the meadows had greatly improved. The week's cereal supply by water was only 3,000 qrs. Wheat. The demand for Wheat had decreased speculation having ceased. Offers from France being more plentiful, a fall of Is. per qr. was the result native red, French, und Baltic the same; Polish Odessa 46s., per qr. Rye was less in request at the same decline native quality and French to 30s. per qr. Barley was firm Black sea and Danube to 21s. per qr. A reduction of about 6d per qr. was experienced in Wheat at Maestricht, but there was no change in the value of other grain. Great heat had prevailed at Straubing, in Bavaria, and more rain was wanted. Though the market was well supplied, there being also a good attendance, a brisk demand was experienced for Corn at fully former rates. Wheat 95s. 6d., Rye 23s.. Oats 17s 3d. per qr. After much rain at Berlin the weather had become magnificent, with the heat up to 24 degrees Reaumer in the shade. Arrivals were moderate, with a fair amount of business passing, but prices finished with a downward tendency. Millers not being willing to accept a decline on their Flour, it was left on their hands. The crops were not complained of, with the exception of Rye, the price of which remained at 28s. Gd.; Oats, 19s. per qr. The best old Wheat at Danzig remained excessively scarce, and was held at very high rates, say to 55s. per qr., cost freight, and insurance included while the finest new was about 48s. to 49s., cost fright, and insurance. Gold having again receded in value, the price of Flour at New York had equally given way, say 20c. to 25c. per brl; the sales made in three days at this re- duction being 30,000 brls.

THE CATTLE TRADE. -MO-ND.ILY. The arrivals of cattle and sheep, &c., into the port of London from the Continent during the past week have been very large. The Custom-house official return gives an entry of 2,347 oxen, 1,068 calves, 16,611 sheep, and 1,162 pigs, together making a total of 21,188 head, against 7,347 head at the same period last year, 15..43,7,- in 1863, 8,940 in 1862, 15,765 in 1861, 14,474 in 1860, 8,314 in 1859, 3,391 in 1858, and 7,474 in 1857. Prime beef was very scarce to-day, and readily commanded the price of 5s 6d per stone. The general supply was good. Of sheep and lambs also the supplies were good, « and the mutton trade was firm, with more life in the lamb trade. The calf trade is dull, and lower prices had to be submitted to. The pig market remained about the same as last week. COMPARATIVE STATEMENT OF PRICES AND SUPPLY OF CATTLE AT MARKET, MONDAY, JULY 17, 1865.

Since our last report, the dealings in all kinds of Eng- lish wool, both Ifor home use and export, have been on limited scale. In prices, however, we have no further change to notice. The supply of wool is still very mode- rate. SEED MARKET. The market for agricultural seeds is quiet, and with- out any business of any amount passing. New French Trefoil found buyers at from 24s to 25s. Trifolium is without alteration. New Rapeseed is at market, of fine quality, and finds buyers at Is per qr. reduction on the late values of old.

Inferior descriptions of new and hops of earlier date meet with but little attention. Our plantation reports, with but few exceptions, are most promising. In East Kent, the Weald, Sussex, Worcester, and Farnham, the bine never looked more healthy and vigorous, and, with the continuance of favourable wea- ther, will produce an early and abundant crop. In Mid- Kent there is an appearance of vermin, and here and there a strong disposition for mould, but the bulk of the grounds are healthy and promise an average yield.

POTATO MARKETS. BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.—Moderate supplies of new home-grown Potatoes are on sale at these markets; but the show of foreign produce is limited.

The arrivals last week from Ireland were 2,603 firkins Butter, and 1,570 bales Bacon, and from foreign ports 25,209 casks Butter and 2,206 bales and 64 boxes Bacon. The Irish Butter market ruled exceedingly quiet, and any business transacted was of a retail cha- racter, quotations are nearly nominal. Foreign met a good sale, particularly for best Dutch, the supply of which being rather short, prices suddenly advanced to 120s. The Bacon market declined Is to 2s per cwt.; best Waterford meat sold at 74s on board; the market remains steady at the decline. STOCKS AND DELIVERIES FOR THIS WEEK. BUTTER. BACON. Stock. Delivery.
