THE TRIAL OF THE CLAIMANT.
THE TRIAL OF THE CLAIMANT. ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-THIRD DAY. The trial-at-bar of the claimant to the Tichborne baronoatcy:and estates was resumed on Wednesday. The Lord Chief Justice continued his summing up to the jury by remarking that so many difficulties suggested themselves to a thoughtful mind respecting the story of the defendant that it would be necessary to minutely and oritically examine the details of his narrative. No ape had ever been rescued from the wreck of the Bella exceut the defendant, if he were, as he alleged, Roger Tich- borne; therefore, no one but he could pretend to gi va them any idea as to how the vessel fouudeied. When under crow-examination at the Law Institution he did not manifest so much frankness and ■traightforwardness as might be expected from a person in his position. It made all the difference whether Roger was sober or drunk when he went on board the Bella, be- cause the defendant had assigned to drunkenness his in- ability to give any coherent account of the wreck of the vessel. He stated tnat he indiliged in debauchery at Rio, and met with Captain Birkett, of the Bella, whom he told that he had lost all bis money. The story had so much effect on the captain that he con- sented to take the young man to New York. and to detain his vessel to enable a paaapovt to be obtained. Notwithstanding this, he went on board without a passport after all. This seeded to be inconsistent; for if Captain Birkett detained ms ship to enable Roger to procure a passport, was it likely that after all he would have taken the young man away surreptitiously? The defendant's statement was in direct conflict with the evidence of Captain Gates, who affirmed that Roger did not go on board the Bella drunk, and that he was placed in the lazarette, not the after-cabin. The defendant was totally ob- livious of the existence of Captain Oates, although his own witness, "Captain Brown," said he saw Oates and Roger drunk, and playing billiards together at Rio. Brown asserted further that it was no wonder the Bella was lost, for when he went on board the morning she sailed, everybody was almost dead drunk. If they believed Brown, his testimony was in direct contradiction, not only with that of Captain Oates, but of Captain Hoskynsi also, for the latter utterly denied, among other things, that he debauched with Roger and Oates at Rio. The defendant stated that his drunkenness prevented him from leaving the cabin in which he was placed until the morning of the wreck. Then a seaman directed the attention of the captain to the fact that the vessel was very low, and, on the pumps being tried, twelve feet of water were found in the hold. A Juror With twelve feet of water in the hold, would not the lazarette have been filled ? The Lord Chief Justice replied in the affirmative, and added that the whole of the bottom of the vessel would have been filled. Therefore, that part of the story most necessarily be abandoned. The tendency of all nautical evidence was that long before that the presence of the water must have been detected, as she would have be- come waterlogged and perfectly unmanageable. One of the witnesses for the prosecution was cross-examined as to whether a story had not been afloat that the Bella had been scuttled. When a direct negative was given to this question the learned counsel ought to have rested satisfied; but instead of being so, he put further questions with the view of shewing that the captain purposely sank the Bella in order to enable the owners to realise upon the over- inaurance. Such an imputation was perfectly atrocious, and it was curious that it should have been made by the very same counsel who just before endeavoured to shew that the opening of the seams or the corrosion of the bolta might have occasioned the disaster. He knew not at whose diabolical instigation this hideous ac- cusation was made, but he did not believe there was a shadow of pretence for it. Was it probable that the captain who entertained such designs would have gone unprepared with sails for the boat in which he intended to effect his escape four hundred miles from land ? Great discrepancies existed between the statement which the defendant originally made, and the one he told in the Court of Common Pleaa. The learned counsel for the defence said he would not ask the jury to believe some parts of the story, but he con- aidered that the absurd tale of his client conclusively proved that he was not Arthur Orton, who, being a sailor, would not have told a story which to a sailor carried incredibility and falsehood upon it. But assuming that Orton was a sailor was assuming that which was very questionable. It was true that he took three voyages in some capacity on board ship. But although Orton would not tell an incredible story to sailors, he might do so to landsmen. Why should not Roger Tichbome have narrated events as they happened, he having no object to deceive any one ? Some oircumstances the defendant had deposed to never happened. Why should Roger have invented the story and represented as true that which was false ? The de- fendant alleged that it was the Osprey which picked him up and took him to Melbourne, but no corroboration of this could be obtained from any of the ordinary souroes of information. Was it probable that a shipwrecked man could remain three months on board of the vessel which rescued him without ascertaining her name ? Would he also have left the captain without thanking him for all his kindness ? Evidence had been produced to shew that an Osprey was at Melbourne in July, 1854, but it had not been shewn that that Osprey had a ship- wrecked crew on board. It was said by the prosecution, that that Osprey could not have picked up a shipwrecked crew without its being known either at the Custom House, by the persons whose business it was to ascertain the name of very person who came into the port, or by the nautica 1 eporter of the newspapers whose business it was to visit all the ships and obtain particulars of all that had oc- curred during the voyage. The evidence for the defence as to the presence of an Osprey at Melbourne was -deserv- ing of consideration, but it waa for the jury to determine whether such a vessel could have arrived without the fact that she had picked up shipwrecked men being reported in some way or the other. One of the defen- dant's witnesses swore that he saw the Baltimore Oeprey at Melbourne, but the prosecution had produced pretty strong evidence from America to shew that such a vessel hailing from Baltimore could not have been in Australia during 1854. Another witness alleged that he 8aw several seamen and a landsman leave the Osprey, but his statement was beset with some trifling difficulties. These seamen were dressed in holiday clothes, and had full bags, whereas the defendant alleged that the sea- men of the Bella lost everything but what they stood upright in. And the landsman would not have been the defendant, as the de- fendant asserted that he went on shore with the captain of the Osprey, leaving the shipwrecked sailors on board. He confessed that much of this evidence greatly stag- gered him, not that he doubted that the witnesses in- tended to tell the truth, but he was astonished at the prodigious power of memory which they exhibited. The majority of them had no particular circumstance to enable them to fix the date or the name of the Osprey on their minds. Mr. Russell and Mr. Liardet were exceptions. The latter said he remembered seeing th* Osprey at Melbourne when he was on a month's leave of absence, the granting of which was the last official act of the Governor, Sir Charles Fitzroy. Now the period of Sir C. Fitzroy's leaving Australia had been fixed in January, 1855, so that Mr. Liardet must have been mis- taken or aeen another Osprey. Three different Witnesses had spoken of three entirely different shipwrecked crews landing from three different Ospreys, yet there wasno offi- eial record of any one of them. Dr. Kenealy, nothing embarrassed by his riches, exclaimed with exultation that that signified nothing, and invited the jury to make their choice out of three ships. (Laughter.) That was easy reasoning; but, before picking out an Osprey which fiad the crew of the Bella on board, it was necessary that vessel should fit with the circumstances to which the defendant had deposed A quarantine officer stated 4hat he went alongside an Osprey as she was entering Hobson's Bay about the middle of 1854, but he had not the slightest memoranda to enable him to fix the date. No doubt the defendant laboured under considerable dif- Mculty in the last trial from his inability to trace an Os- prey as having been in Hobson s Bay m July, 1854. The simple fact of an Osprey having been there at some time or the other was not sufficient for the defendant a case it •was necessary that it should have been there concurrently with the time at which the defendant said he arrived Were the jury, therefore, satisfied upon the evidence that an Osprey was there, and that she had picked up e- fendant from the wreck of the Bella ? Mr. Child been abused by the counsel for the defendant for1 co S forward as a witness. Why a gentleman should not o called in a proseeutiott instituted by the Government o which he was a member, if he could afford usefal infor- mation and elucidate the truth, he could not conceive. A vessel might have entered the bay and escaped the vigilance of the authorities, but he could not understand bow one from which a shipwrecked crew landed coald have done so. But had the defendant always adhered to the statement that the ship which picked him up was the Osprey ? If he were an imposter he would either have to invent a name or hit upon one which he had some reason for recollecting. One of the first things he did on arriving in England was to go to Lloyd's with his legal adviser and endeavour to trace out an Osprey. That he did this was fully certain, although he steadfastly denied in cross-examination in the ejectment suit that he had ever been to Lloyd's or even knew where it was. They were told by a witness for the prosecution that during the search, two Ospreys could be found as having sai'ed for Australia in 1854, but one of these was only a 60-ton vessel, and the other was lost before she arrived at her destination. Subsequently the defendant aban- doned the Osprey, and said, when cross-examined at the Law Institution, that he was under the impression that the Themis picked him up, and he believed the captain was named either Lewis Owen or Owen Lewis. In the Oeurt of Common Heas he fell back again upon the Osprey, but accounted for his uncertainty about her same nationality, and the port she came from by saying he W".s delirious during two of the three months he was on hi- way to Melbourne. What WAS stated as positive knowledge at Melbourne melted down to a qualified an^ei ion in 1868, but his selection of the Themis shook thoii confidence in hi-* statement that it was or wai not the Opn-y that picked him up. But if an Osprey was at Melbourne In July, 1854, it did not follow that ahe a shipwrecked crew on board ef her. And if she had a shipwrecked crew on board, it did not follow that it was thp crew of the BelU. Further, if the crew belonged to the Bella it did not follow that the defendant was there as Tichborne. It was a remarkable fact, assuming th- ik-fendant'.s story to be true, that none of the persons who were alleged to have been saved from the Bella had keen found to give their evader ce, for so long had this CAof Ween pen ling, and so important had been regarded, thaJ, i was now known of all over the world. Some one U' I been discovered who said he was on board :he Oi-jVrt-v when the crew of the Bella were saved, but as had been so utterly given up, they mnst treat his evidence as false and perjured from beginning to end. Lu. had l" iine forward, either spontaneously or under the ■'nflueisc- "f '>t!.t-is. on oath tes'.iai my which he knew jierfec'y v-i; w-v, a tissue "f faWhood. He was afraid that at.*eiu:>t that was m>.le to iai- pose upon tip" jury serious consequences on the defendant. l'hat it would damage hia case there could be doubt, but it ought not to do so beyond a legitimate extent. If Luie s evidence was false, it did no J lollow tu»t the defendant was not Kosrer Tichbo-ne. b c he might have adopted the evidence, in the that it was true. The defendant hit upon ttie Themis on its being ascertained that a young man who might answered the descrip- tion of Roger Tichborn<r in her fo He correctly described the vessel, and the streel in which the agents' office was situated in Melbourne, but was obliged to give the Themis up on its being discovered that the young man was an ordinary passenger, and had not been ship- wrecked. The strangest part of the story was that when the defendant reverted back again to the Osprey. he said unable to state where the Melbourne agents' office was, and that he went with the captain, not to the office, but to the Custom House. If any trace of an American Osj)rey-it was not until lf>71 that the vessel was believed not to be British-could have been found to fit in with the circumstances of the present case, that indefatigable gentleman, Mr. Whalley, would have produced it. This concluded the remarks he had to make on the subject of the Osprey, and en Friday he would deal with the life of the defendant in Australia. The Court then adjourned until nday, their Lord- ships having decided, for the convenience of a juror, not to bit on Thursday.
jME- DISRAELI AT NEWPORT |…
j ME- DISRAELI AT NEWPORT PAGNEL. [SPECIAL TELEGRAM.] NEWPORT PAGNEL, Wednesday.—Mr. Disraeli dined this afternoon at the farmers' market ordinary, held at the .-wan Hotel, in this town. There was a very crowded attendance, and as the arrangements were of the most imperfect description, the proceedings were throughout most uncomfortable. The right hon. gen- tleman was accompanied by Sir R. Bateson Harvey, ;he second Conservative candidate, and by Mr. Mon- tague Corry, his private secretary. On entering the room he was received with much cheering. Mr. Rogers, a tenant farmer of Lathbury, was in the chair. The' usual loyal toasts having been given, the heal th of the Conservative candidate was proposed by the Chairman. Mr. DISRAELI, in responding to the toast, remarked that he was a candidate for the tenth time, and not being conscious of having done anything to forfeit tlieir confidence, he had every reason to believe that it would again be reposed in him. He apologised for ad- dressing the meeting in prose (great laughter). A great compliment had been paid by the farmer of Buckinghamshire by the Premier, but it was not one that was appropriately adapted to the occasion. Mr. Gladstone was a ministee of peace and economy, and must know that that part of the world which afforded him the most ludicrous of his rhymes had already been the seat of two wars, and according to Mr. Goselien had led the country into an expendi- ture of a million of. money. The Straits of Malacca therefore, were hardly to be regarded as a laughing matter, especially as they had involved the country in the entanglements which had led to the Ashantee War. Mr. Gladstone, however, threw the whole blame of the treaty on the Dutch—upon the Conservative party; but what had since transpired showed that that statement, especially to those who paid direct taxation-if such a scheme were carried out it was essential that there should be a deficiency, and that the deficiency must be made up by the payers of direct taxation, but this was a financial scheme of Mr. Gladstone, and it was a scheme whieh unjustly mulcted every county election in his contributions to the revenue of the country (cheers), was altogether unfounded. Passing from this subject Mr. Disraeli adverted to financial matters, remarking that this curious problem will put before the country that the income tax when imposed, was a temporary measure while the leaving of it off was permanent. Now the income tax as a temporary measure was im- posed in. order to effect great reduction of indirect taxation, and the natural case when those reductions were effected, would be to take off the income tax, but Mr. Gladstone contended that an equal amount OF indirect taxation ought to be taken off in conjunction with income tax. This, however, was hot his position. He was just to taxpayers of the country, and especially Mr. Gladstone called his (Mr. Disraeli's) was there to give that answer (cheers). Mr. Gladstone always had a number of points. There were three points in the Alabama negotiations, and each of them cost more than a million of money—(cheers)—which was rather a large sum indeed, for a minister of economy. In the first place Mr. Gladstone asked if the Conservatives were prepared to relieve the ratepayers of the country from unjust burden to which they were subjected. Now he was prepared, as he had been for a long time, to support any measure which would relieve the rate- payers from unjust burdens, but it was quite another question whether he was prepared to support a scheme of Mr. Gladstone. Indeed, if the scheme were carried out, it would be accompanied by many conditions, which would be extremely uncomfortable. The next question upon which Mr. Gladstone were, if the Con- servative party were prepared to abolish the income tax and to reduce indirect taxation. He was quite as anxious as Mr. Gladstone to abolish the income tax, but he felt there were occasions-such as a sudden war-for a reform of the tariff, when it would be necessary to have resources to an income tax. Neither with regard to the income tax nor indirect taxation was he prepared to pledge himself to any specific course. The next question upon which Mr. Glad- stone asked for a categorical reply was—Are you for economy ? Now, he (Mr. Disraeli) was as much in favour of economy as any man, but he objected to economy which was obtained by discharging dockyard labourers and Government clerks, by selling the Queen's store, stopping the Queen's store, stopping the Queen's services, selling, the accumulation of tim- ber in the dockyards, and getting rid of all the anchors belonging to the navy (laughter and cheers). He con- tended the issue put before the country by the Go- vernment was a false issue. The country was not de- ciding at this moment upon the financial problem, but upon his policy. Mr. Gladstone had dilated upon his general policy, and chiefly upon his Irish policy. Mr. Gladstone was brought into power under circumstances rarely equalled by a most passionate vote of a great nation, because he had represented to them with great eloquence that he had a specific to cure the evils connected with Irish administration. The Fenian conspiracy brought things to a climax, and Mr. Glad- stone was carried to power by a large majority. But had his Irish policy been successful he (Mr Disraeli) contended that it had utterlt failed, and remarked that he had observed throughout the exciting scenes that had taken place, in consequence of the dissolution of Parliament the state of Ireland had never been men- tioned. On the contrary, there had been an avowed effort on the part of the Government to have the decision taken upon a question of taxes and finance. In 1869 the first branch of the npas tree was lopped off, and in 1870 the second, by the introduction of the Irish Land Act, but instead of rendering Ireland peaceable and contented, it had been found necessary not only to suspend the Habeas Corpus Act, but to enact a very stringent measure of coercion. He deeline4 to argue whether these measures were necessary or not, but he was simply anxious to point out instead of the aboli- tion of the Iiish Church having produced tran- quility, Ireland was now governed by the most stringent provisions that had ever been enacted. In conclusion he denied having charged Mr. Gladstone with having used language which was a stain upon his conscience. All he had said was that his conduct was a strain upon the candor and conscience of the Right Hon. gentleman. It must be remembered that this was election times, and he was not aware that any blame in regard to social relations between Mr. Glad- stone and himself had been imputed to him. With regard to Mr. Lewe he accused the right hon. gentle. man of gross ingratitude, as he would not be in Parlia- ment but for him (Mr. Disraeli) who with character- istic magnanimity, although opposed to the views of his party, and even to those of the Liberals, bad said to himself that unless the University of London had a member, Mr. Lowe would find it impossible to get a seat without endangering his life ufm„an hustings, on which he presented offondfwi an<* Mr. Lowe had SttSSte-iS; ".d aoar- wVin „ j secretaries, Mr. Ayrton and Mr. nfbprw'se things comfortable, had been otherwise provided for. (Lauirhter 1 Onlr last session it was asked if the Secretary of the Treasury and the were on spe.ki^ terms, and no one was able to rise in the House and say that they were. Mr. Lowe, ia language more violent than felicitous, had made a personal attack upon him (Mr. Disraeli), but he would not con- descend farther than by these few brief remarks to notice it. Mr. Gladstone had applied for union amongst Liberals, and no party more needed it. The position of ithe Liberal party at the present moment was, he admitted, one of extreme difficaity. Indeed it was in its throes; but it had not been re- duced to that extremity by illegitimate means —by party passion or party intrigue (cheers). A large crowd assembled in front of the Swan Hotel, composed principally of Mr. Disraeli's opponents, who fK • power, by grinding a barrel organ, rowing peas at the windows, and ringing hand-bells, tlle inside. They were unsuc- cessful, however, and ultimately, when the in-door f proceedings were brought to a close, and Mr. Disraeli's supporters were liberated, the result was a free tight.

| A FRENCH "CLAIMANT." I
A FRENCH "CLAIMANT." We are menaced, says the Paris correspondent of a contemporary, with a Tichborne trial here, though our tribunals will not, perhaps, make us linger under the law's delay as long as your?. The Revolutionists capped their cruelty to Louis XVI. and Marie Antoinette by appren- ticing their son to a cobbler, when the poor boy "stuck to his last" till he died of illtreatment, hard usage, and scanty fare. The proofs of his death are considered to have been con- elusive by contemporary historians, and the sad incident was as well authenticated as anything could be in those troublous times but as some doubts hang over the sub ject, pretenders to the honours and fortune of the cobbler Prince have cropped up at various intervals. We had a Duke of Normandy and a Louis XVII. in England, and the Dutch have a Claimant in their service who calls himself Count Adelbert de Borbon, and sets him- self up to be the son of the martyr Prince, and grandson of the murdered Louis XVI. It is too probable that the poor little Prince was as surely done to death in the cobbler's service, as that the sons of our fourth Edward were smothered by the hunchback Richard. Yet after the children had been consigned to their graves, first came the Jew boy Perkin Warbeck, and next Lambert Simnel, claiming to be the Duke of York, whom they represented as having escaped from the murderers set on them by the hunchback. History is always repeating itself. These pretenders cropped up nearly four centuries past, and here they are again in another form. The young Count de Bourbon has, however, a far more plausible story to tell, and many more probabilities to urge in his behalf, than any of the preceding claimants. His name and rank are even tacitly recognised at the Dutch Court. The "Claimant arrived in Paris on Monday qjorning to pro- secute the Comte de Chambord for illegal detention of the estates to which he lays claim. He has engaged the ser- vices of the eminent barrister M. Lachaud, who is confi- dent of success.
GARDEN WORK FOR THE WEEK.
GARDEN WORK FOR THE WEEK. When the weather is not very inviting for out-door operations, advantage should be taken of it to regulate the greenhouse and frame plants previously to commencing their spring growth. In regulating the plants it will be well to wash the foliage of oranges, camelias, and other smooth-leaved plants with a sponge and clean water, and the dust may be removed from pelargoniums and other woolly-leaved plants by brushing them lightly with a soft brush. After the plants are cleaned the pots should be washed, and the surface in each replaced with fresh soil, and if they require it they should be neatly tied to fresh stakes. Carnations, picotees, auriculas, and polyanthuses in frames should have all the air possible in mild weather, but they must be protected from wet. Remove all decaying matter, so as to keep the atmosphere within as pure as possible, and prevent the attack of mil- dew on the plants. Where the first sowing of peas is coming through the round it will advisable to draw a little earth to the plants. Dig vacant ground, as all soils, but especially such as are of a clayey nature, profit much by being fully exposed to the action of frost, which has the effect of rendering them friable and easy to work. Let the pruning of all kinds of fruit trees be finished as soon as possible, and forward every operation that can be done with advantage now, as the most busy period of cropping is fast approaching. Cuttings of shrubs may be put in during February. Let strong shoots be selected of last summer's growth. Choose them from nine to fifteen inches long, and, if you can, take about two inches of the old wood with the shoots at their base. Trim off the lower leaves, place the cuttings halfway in the ground, and plant them in a shady border to root. Do this in February in preference to October, as everything roots earlier from spring operations. You may also plant cuttings in June, but keep them moist and shady. In pruning shrubs be careful to cut-out the long rambling shoots of the last summer's growth, which disfigure their appearance; cut away also branches of shrubs which interlace each other, so that every shrub may stand alorke and well defined. Take away their suckers, and let each shrub be kept to a single stem. Laurustinas, phillyreas, and laurel, are excellent shrubs to plant near buildings or to hide a wall; they are evergreen summer and winter; very hardy, and quick-growing. The pyracantha is an elegant shrub with its clusters of red berries, and it looks Ray during the autumn and winter. The Arbutus or Strawberry Tree is loaded with its strawberry-like fruit in August, September, and October. This is a beautiful shrub placed singly on a lawn, if kept to one single clean stem and a fine branching head. Portugal Laurels are beautiful, their deep green leaves and scented feathery flowers make them an important shrub in all gardens.— Journal of Horticulture.

(FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT.)
(FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT.) LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING. Seldom has there been so much surprise as was ex- hibited last night in the Reform Club, as the news of the election returns came in by telegraph. Victory after victory on the part of the Conservatives was announced, six of them actually arriving from the Post-office in one envelope. Members of the Club could scarcely believe their eyes, as time after time it was announced that another Liberal or two had been relegated to the limbo of private life; and it was only twice during the evening that anything like merriment was indulged in, once being, when the news came that Sir John Pakington would take his seat in the Opposition Benches no more. Curious, too, wpre the regrets which were expressed. Even Darby Griffiths was lamented, as a member who could make fun; so was Mr. Tom Collins, more generally known without the prefix of Mister. So, too, was the loss of Mr. Bonham-Carter lamented as that of a useful man who had a recognised place in the House, and who was always welcome there. The gain to the Liberal party at Shrewsbury was somewhat of a surprise albeit a pleasant one; and was attributed to the fact that the Liberals have nursed the borough for some time very carefully. But there was something which caused a great deal of gloom to settle down upon the place, and it was this In the window of one of the Conservative newspapers, about ten o'clock, was posted an announcement to the effect that the Greenwich Election had been carried by the Conservatives, and that Boord and Liardet had been re- turned; and this very quickly reached the Reform Club and was believed there most implicitly. Some of the members who had indulged in little bets on Gladstone, began in fact to look rueful and sad; and the more so, as hour after hour brought no contradiction of the news. It was not until two o'clock, indeed, that the truth was known, and then it was doubted at first. The Reform will scarcely witness such a riotous night as that of Tuesday for some time to come. The Duke of Norfolk is struggling hard, by means of circular, to gather together a large number of people at the coming Roman Catholic meeting, on Friday, in St. James's Hall. His grace wishes the assembly not merely to be numerous, but of a representative character, as the sympathy, to be expressed with the priests of Germany is intended to carry great weight with it. To come more to details about the elections Bath was one of the closest contests of the whole. Once more the representation is divided. But Major Bousfield, who is residing in the city, and has been spending money pro- fusely there, has supplanted "My dear Grey." At Bedford, Mr. Magniac has done himself no good by his desertion of St. Ives, for he is at the bottom of the poll. It was a very near thing, however, and a scrutiny is talked of. Boston is the most signal triumph save one, which the Liberals have won. It was well known beforehand that Mr. Collins would go out, and it is no secret that his party will not greatly regret his loss, for he was one of the Conservative rebels, and had a very strong hostility against Mr. Disraeli. His old colleague, Mr. Malcolm, the biggest man in the House in point of stature, tucceeded in winning Boston fourteen years ago on the death of Mr. Ingram, the pro- prietor of the Illustrated News. He has now been ousted by Mr. Ingram s son. At Bury, St. Edmunds, Mr. Hard- castle of anti-Church Rates, and anti-Game Laws fame is only third on the poll. At Cambridge, Mr. Marten, one of the new Q.C. s, has displaced Mr. William Fowler, a member of the Cobtlen Club, and known chiefly by his exertions in behalf of the repeal of the C.D." Acts, and also by his writings on land reform. A more serious loss to the House is that of his old colleague Sir Robert Torrens, also a great land reformer and an old Australian. In 1865 these two seats were won by Con- servatives, Mr. Powell, who is contesting North M est Yorkshire, and Mr. Forsyth, who is contesting Marylebone. At Cheltenham, young Mr. Samuelson has sustained a. reverse similar to that which his uncle experienced in Birkcnhead, and from which his father narrowly escaped in Banbury. Dr. Brewer has been less fortunate at Colchester, than his colleague on the Metropolitan Board of Works, Colonel Hogg, at Truro. Our old friend, that prince of bores, Mr. Darby-Griffith, ran Sir Thomas Bateson very hard; and that wonderful Mr. Sloper, in spite of "my cousin Samuel," received but two votes, one of which was, no doubt, Samuel's." Droitwich is by far the most signal of the Liberal victories, and a good many Liberals will regret it. Sir John Pakington has more than once shewn him- self superior to his party, and there is no doubt that it was his avowed determination not to treat education as a party-matter which greatly facilitated the passing of Mr. Foster's Bill in 1870. A less patriotic man would have leagued himself with the malcontents below the gangway, in order to embarrass the Government. He has been defeated by a local salt manufacturer, and there is little doubt that he will be run for one of the divisions of his native county. For thirty-seven years he had repre- sented Droitwich, and was not once opposed until 1868, when Mr. Corbett, the victor on the present occa- sion, was a long way behind. At Durham the seat which was lost by the Liberals on the death of the late Judge- Advocate, Mr. Davison, has been regained by them. At Exeter, Mr. Bowring, the most diligent of attendants in the House, will know his place no longer, and one of the hardest fought Liberal victories of I808 has been reversed. Greenwich has disgraced herself by returning at the head of the poll a gin-distiller, a political nobody, who can scarcely utter two consecutive sentences. But at one time it was rumoured that a far more terrible humiliation had befallen her, and that the greatest states- man and one of the greatest orators of this generation had been rejected. Grimsby has been deserted by Mr. Tomliue, the old Liberal member, who is standing for East Suffolk, and a former Tory representative and rail- way magnate, Mr. Chapman, has been chosen. Mr. Stans- feld had an easy victory at Halifax. Major Arbuthnot's defeat at Hoferord relieves Mr. Cardwell of one of his most persistefct tormentors; and Mr. Hayter, at Bath, will feel some satisfaction in finding that his successful oppo- nent of three years back has shared the aame fate as his successful opponent of last year. Major Arbuthnot has now sustained three defeats in Hereford. The success of Sir Seymour Fitzgerald at Horsham was a foregone conclusion. Mr. George Elliot, the late member for North Durham, and who is again a candidate for that constituency, has scceeded in placing his son at Northallerton. At Chester, Mr. Dodson has won by the skin of his teeth-ten votes fewer and he would have lost his £2,000 a year. At Oxford, the Solicitor-General and the Minister for War were run a great deal too close to be pleasant, and a dead set was made at Mr. Cardwell, because he had sanctioned the use of the military in getting in the corn during a strike of agricultural labourers. He narrowly escaped the same fate as his predecessor at the War Office. Plymouth and Portsmouth have both gone against the Government and both rejected strong and able Liberals. Mr. Morrison was one of the best kind of independent Liberals; Sir George Young one of the rising generation of able Liberal administrators. Mr. Stone, a Cambridge double-first, was thought likely to be Mr. Peel's successor at the Board of Trade. Mr. Portal is a railway director, but both have been worsted, that most blatant of persons, Sir James Elphinstone, having beaten them by a large majority. The working-man candidate at Preston is nowhere, as he was also at Warwick. It is satisfactory to find that an able administrator like Mr. Shaw-Lefevre has not been superseded by the pawnbroker Mr. Attenborough. Both the Messrs. Brassey have kept their seats; so, too, have Mr. Knatchbull-Hugessen and Mr. W. H. Gladstone. Less fortunate is Mr. Bonham-Carter at Winchester; but it will be easy to find a better chairman of committees than he was. It is somewhat remarkable that Lord Bandon should have failed a second time to bring in his own near relative for his pocket borough, though at Woodstock Mr. Brodrick has not fared so well againsWthe Duke of Marlborough's nominee under the ballot as he did in 1868 with open voting. One of the closest contests i. that at Newry, and there not only have the Liberals won by a narrow majority of four, but the United Kingdom Alliance have brought in its chairman, Mr. Benjamin Whitworth. Mr. Whitwortfc had a safe seat at Drogheda, but at the earnest request of the Liberal party, who told him that he alone could win in Newry, he went down to the borough and opposed the nobleman who takes his name from the place. Mr. Whit- worth's courage and self-denial have been rewarded by the success which they deserved. The election in the City of London becomes more ex- citing as the day hastens on. One of the Conservative candidates, Mr. Twells, haa not been personally before the electors. He has been staying at home with a bad cold, or something of the sort; but his friends give out that his principles are sound. Mr. Hubbard has had to a. plain his connection with St. Alban's Church, and a very painful story he had to tell. With his own money he had cleared away the hovels which formerly stood there, built the church, and endowed it, and after much careful deliberation he had chosen Mr. Mackonochie. Until that, all had gone smoothly but no sooner was Mr. Mackonochie fairly in the saddle than he took the reins entirely into his own hands, and rapidly developed the practices which have made his church notorious. In vain did Mr. Hubbard remonstrate, at first privately, and then to the Bishop. He found that he had no more power in the church, which he had built and en- dowed, no more power over the clergyman he had appointed, than the sweeper at the nearest crossing. There was n. other course than to resign bi8 churchwardenship, and to leave the church which he had erected as a thank- offering. Veil might he say that it had been the one great sorrow of bia lift.

CONGREGATIONAL CI-IUKCH, TKMPEKANCE TOWN.—At this place yesterday evening there was an excellent exhi- bition of dissolving views, 24 feet in diameter, illustramig remarkable instances in the lives of Joshua and Samson, T',ie lucid explanatory remarks by the lie v. \V. Watkiss, and the selection of music by the choir, could not fail to give the large audience pleasure and instruction. BOROUGH POLICE-COURT.Yesterday. before Mr E. 0. Jones (stipendiary), and Mr W. D. Bushell, James Duncan, 18 years of age, was charged with nonfulhiment of his articles of agreement. It appeared from the evi- dence adduced that prisoner had contracted to sail on board the Swiftsure as ordinary seaman. The vessel sailed on the 30th ultimo, but he was absent, and it was subsequently found that he had gone to Newport with the advance note in his pocket. Prisoner pleaded that he had not got clothes to go on the voyage, but the magistrates considered it an aggravated case, and sent him to hard labour for eight weeks.—Hannah WiLliams, charged with having grossly misconducted herself near the Custom-House whilst in an intoxicated state, was sentenced to a month's hard labour.—Emma Johnson was brought up for disorderly behaviour. The defen- dant in this case had varied her recreation a little by smashing a great many windows in Peel-street. Sentenced to a month's imprisonment.—John Ford, a native of Somersetshire, but who on the preceding night had found a lodging at the union, was charged with refusing to obey orders. Mr Carter said that, when after breakfast defendant was requested to do some work he retorted, "No, I don't see the force of breaking stones without PaY." Sent to hard labour for seven days. WATCH COMMITTEE.—The monthly meeting was held yesterday in the grand jury-room, Town-hall, Mr. Alderman Pride in the chair (in the absence of the Mayor). There were also present Mr. H. Bowen (ex- Mayor), Alderman Evans, Alderman Alexander, Mr. P. Bird, Mr. Jenkins, and Mr. J. Winstone. The report f Major Bond, the Superintendent of- Police, was read. -1 he Major reported that the conduct of the police had been good, with one exception. There had been no dis- turbance during the past week of political excitement. He asked for an extra body of men on the day of election, and it was agreed that 30 men should be appointed for the occasion. The committee was asked for the Payment of III Is. 8d. for clothing for Sergeants Price and Newman. Alderman Pride remarked that they had been allowed 2s. per week by the Committee, Mr. H. Bowen thought they ought not to pay this bill as well as the xtra. 2s. The matter was referred to the Finance Committee. P.C. Glover was fined two days' pay for having received 2s. from two seamen on the morning of January 11th. Mr. P. Bird said they had found fault with the late superintendent for not seeing the men on their beat in the evening. He thought it was part of the duty of Major Bond to attend the parade, and it would be showing more respect towards the men. Some letters had appeared in the papers commenting on the subject. Major Bond said he would comply with the wishes of the Committee. Mr. Alderman Evans com- plained of the nuisance caused by shoeblacks crying out in the streets on Sunday. The attention of the police was directed to it. P. S..Telford petitioned the Committle for an increase of pay. He complained that he had not been placed on the new scale of classified pay with the other sergeants. He had been in the force fifteen years. -The subject was allowed to remain over for the present. REMINISCENCES OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.— Last jught at the Town Hall, Lord Wuliam Pitt Lennox de- livered a lecture of a vtr/ interesting nature upon his personal reminiscences of the Duke of Wellington. Dr. iaylor, the secretary of the Cardiff Naturalists' -ociety, under the auspices of which the lecture was delivered, occupied the chair, and introduced the lecturer, who was received in a very cordial manner by the large audience present. The lecturer had been a member of the Duke's aide-de-eamp, and said his acquaintance with his Grace commenced fifty-nine years ago, when he was then Sir Arthur Wellesley, the principal Secretary of State for Ireland. He commented upon the untruthful nature of the greater part of the so-called anecdotes of the Duke of Wellington, which were as plentiful as blackberries. He detailed an amusing incident which occurred in Brussels, at the time the Duke was staying there. He and a companion borrowed the Dukes carriage, and proceeded to the theatre. The carriage being recognised by the populace which assembled in the thoroughfares they sang, "See the conquering hero comes." The fact being communi- cated to the manager, the occupants of the carriage were 8sked into a lobby, and it was in vain that they tried to explain their position. On entering the orchestra struck up "See the conquering hero comes," and when the curtaid rose the actors came forward, and sang "God save the King," and eventually, after they managed to explain the circumstances of the case, they entered the box and had the curtains drawn, so that there might not be revealed to the expectant gaze of the audience the two young officers who had been mistaken for their illustrious chief. The lecturer detailed from his own experience the kindness of the Duke to his officers, although when they failed to what he ordered them, h3 was very distant towards them. Ihe lecturer quoted an incident in which he was concerned, in which the Duke afterwards relented in a very nobleway, and asked him to have a glass of wine. The Iron Duke was as proud as a soldier and as humble as a Christian. jje drew a g'owing picture of the calm aspect of the Duke of Wel- lington in the midst of the battle of Waterloo. His Grace invariably kept a pack Of foxhounds at head- quarters for the promotion of a manly exercise among the officers. The lecturer related many anecdotes illustrat- ing the aptitude the Duke had tor instantly applying a remedy in cases of sudden want. Although he was not a professed wit, there were naany touches of pleasantry in his conversation, which made him a very pleasant com- panion. A gentleman who was always bothering him about what he should do, what ne should seek, &c once asked him what he should preach about? The Duke,g answer was, about twelve minutes. The lecturer re- marked that it was a superfluity to 8peak of WeMngton's deeds. He remarked that it could be said of him, as it not be of any other captain that he had taken ^000 cannon from the never lost one. Upon the motion of T ™e' » vote of thanks ^asacccorded to Lord William lJ«uaox for the interesting instructive address he had delivered. b
