Loan! TG 4J 5 BY TKLKOBAPH.J Vienna to confer with a younger brother of Count de Moimtmolin. The Carlists desire to put forward the olaims of the son of Don Carlos." Tho France of this evening says that two vessels of the Spanish insurgents' fleet arrived off Lisbon on Friday last, and it is asserted that their commander was instructed to invite the Duke de MontpenBier to proceed to a point on the coast in possession of the insurgents. ENGLAND AND SPAIN. The Spanish Government has addressed the following telegram to its representatives abroad "Tho British Cabinet having notiBed to the Government at Madrid its intention to send vessels of war to the coast of Spain, General Conoha replied, advising that this measuro should not be taken. Lord Stanley deferred to the wish of Goneral Concha, but the latter, learning on the 2Cth inBtant that the insurgents were preparing to bombard Carthagena, he informed the British Minister that the Spanish Government could not assume the responsibility for the damages which' might result, therefrom to British subjects.
The English Government could, therefore, take tho measures it might doom fit under tho circ*mstances," WHO IS TO SUCCEED ISABELLA? The Times says thero can be no doubt now of the extent we might almostaay tho universality of the insurrection. Whatever may be the result, this is no mere provincial rising. Ihe peril of tho monarchy in indicated by tho names of the places where tho insurrection has made head. The south of Spain, the most flourishing and commercial part of thepeninBula, appears to be completely diverted from itB allegiance. ThiB revolt is ao gonoral that it has all the look of revolution.
It io said that it is more tho work of the army and navy than of th 0 people. The present insurrection began in this way, but the impulse, as well as we can judge from the facts reportod, haB passod rom sailors and soldiers to civilians. What constitutes tho most formidable feature of tho movement against the Queen is the circ*mstanoe that, wherever the insurrection has spread, the first impulse has been to denounce and repudiate her aua her family. If things comes to tho worst, we may be sure that tho Queen will throw overboard everybody and everything rather than lose her throne. Tho Times glances at the dynastic points of the cose, and says it would be almost impossible for the duch*ess of Montpensier to mount the throne from which her sister had been driven, and from which her sister's children wore excluded.
Indeed, the duke ia said to have already repudiated on the part of his wife any such reversion. Moreover, the hostility of the French Government would certainly be roused by the accession of a branch of the House of Orleans. A favourite notion with many peoplo out of the peninsula has been the 'union of the two kingdoms of Spain and Portugal by tho calling of the House of Braganza to Madrid: but such an union would be equally unacceptable to eaoh of the two countries, ouch, indeed, are the obstacles to the establishment of a new dynasty that even those who are most indignant ot the offences of the present reign may be willing to keep their Queen, and to roform her if they can. PORTUGAL, Lisbon, Sept. 28.
With a view to observe the strictest neutrality during the present insurrectional strugglo in Spain, the Government intends taking precautionary measures, by sending troops to the frontier. This ia chiefly done for the purpose of disarming bodies of troops who, after a hostile encounter, might take refuge on Portuguese territory. Further Btops, such as the calling out of tho contingents of tho reserve from the different provinces, will be resorted to should certain emergencies arise rendering such measures necessary. Tho garrison of the fortified city of Blvos being deficient in number, it ib thought probable that reinforcements will be sent to that important frontier stronghold, FRANCE. PARIS BOURSE.

Gentlomon, I hovo beon not a llttlo amused, on reading your extract from tho report of tho commissioners, to notico the extraordinary oara thoy propoao to tako of tho bishops and other highly-paid and proposed to bo pnid dignitaries of tho church, that these gentlomon can descend to tho paltry suggestion of curtailing thesalarles of the poor sextons and pariah clerks, both which offices they recommend should, If practicable, bo conjoined in one person. This, with a gross average rovemio of about 618,000 per annum, is cortainly a specimen of candle-end and choese-paring which ono would hnvo thought was beneath contomplntlon In aueh cnao and under such clrcumatancea; and altogether derogatory to bo brought boforu Parliament. Your remarks as to thoao highly-pnid'dignltaricB, deana, are well worth attention. It la soarcoly poaalble to imagine a greater waste of money than that paid to those gentlemen. Prior to tho act (ft- nets placing tho capitular estates and revenues under tho control and lunnogemont of the Eccloslastlcal CommiSKlonera, no doubt deans and tho respective chapters had very onerous duties to perform in tho niansgo-niont of the clmptor estates In other worda, looking aftor tho loavea and fishea.

VI3ILANS. GROSS OUTRAGE. SOMETHING MORE FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF THE COUNCIL. TO THE EDITORS OF THE LIVERPOOL MERCURY.
Gentlemen, It has recently come within my praotlos to attend to a young gentleman who on returning hom*o ono night last week through Glldnrt-Btroet missed his dog, and, seotng one go info a houso In Flnoh-streot, followed it. He was nskod down to tho kitchen to look at it, but found it was not his. On getting Into tho lobby leading to tho atreot, ho wns aaaallod by two men and about half a dozen women, who forced him into a back parlour, knocked him down, and kicked and wounded him in a very serious manner. One of tho men held a dngger over him, and would no doubt havo uaod it but for tho cries of "Murder," which attracted aome paBBers-by, who forced their way into tho houso and rescued him at the peril of tholr own Uvea. Ho waa taken hom*o inaenaible, and ia now unable to leavo his bedthrough the injuries he received.
Had It not beon for tho timely aid of tlieuo men the public would have hoard of another quiot murder, aa all tho femaloB wero armed with champngno bottles. I hope for tho eako of others unncqunlnted with those dona of infamy in our very centre, that your papor may bring to light ono of tho many cases of almost nightly ocenrronco in this locality.

Oentlcnien, Anothor nut for tho ratepayers' aaaoclntion to crack Alna for thoir jaws, which had need be of triple braso Had thoy not onough and too much already to endure of various klnda! And, not tho Ienat, of Dr. Tronoh's sanitary measures, the utility of some of which Is still extremely doubtful, while of tholr crushing expense, justifiable only In case of undeniable necessity, unhappily for tho ratopayera there la no doubt whatever. Tho next epidemic will probably demonstrate their futility. To day's Journals indicate another attempt to burden the suffering ratepayera, under the pretence ol tho public health, with the oroction of mortuary chapels, Nothing can be easier than to prove that such placea will bo Injurious to tho public health, Instead of beneficial, encouraging, as thoy would and mUBt, the retention of doad bodlea above ground, ond preventing such measures as ought to he taken by the authorities to secure onrly aopulture, oap8Clally when death has been the roault of contagious disease It ia by legislative enactment to such effect, and not by mortuary chapels, that tho community ia to bo benefited, aa well in tho conservation of Its health as in tho sparing of its squandered funds.
It also appears evident that this new proposition 1b made in deference to one fraotion of the community alone, the worst part of the Irish Catholic inhabitanta, whose orgies in preaenco of their unburied dead ought to be suppressed by tho influonco and teaching of tholr prleata, or put down bylaw. Tho splendid numlflcenceof Mr. Robert Hutchison In building a mortuary chapel for the Catholics has failed Dr. Trench would now Impose it upon the town. I hope the town will roject the project and the burden.
Some shrewd minds In tho health committee, and aomo out of It, in order to the true motives and tendency of tho proposal, auggoat that two such chapols should be built the one for Roman Catholics, tho other for Protestants Shall we call this simplicity, or its opposite? Tho great mass of the community, tho Broteatant port of all sects, neither neod nor wiah anythtngof the kind, and would readily comply with all Buch aanitary reatrictlona and cnactmonts oa a wise forethought ahould approve. If tho Roman Catholic people require this new Institution, nnd It can be proved (which I altogether diapute) that it Is not prejudicial to tho public health, in God a nnmo let them havo it, but let them pav for their whima, and not attempt under apeclouB nretoncea to folat an obnoxious nnd dangeroua innovation upon tholr fellow citizens and extract an endowment from tho puhllc funds.

FACTS FOR ELECTORS AT BIRKENHEAD AND ELSEWHERE. TO TUB EDITORS OF THE LIVERPOOL MERCURY. Gentlemen, It la gratifying to find that tho Liberal party In Birkenhead are at last arouBod from tho stato ol lethargy in which they have been bo long reposing, nnd that they havo evinced a disposition to rescue the borough from its present state of degradation in holng represented by a political nonentity; but in order to effect this ovory exertion ahould be mode and information dlffuBed amongat tho electors generally as to the antecedents of tho party to which ho belongs, aa well as the memorable and eminontly patriotic part which he played in America with the late rebellion of tho Southern Statea of America. Let It be reraembored that the Tory party havo persistently opposed every measuro which has proved to nave oeen lor mo an vantage ui uiu urumu puumuy, aim that if their policy had beon retained the abominable corn Iowa would have atlll been in operation, nnd the blesalnga of free trade would have been denied us. They opposed Catholic emancipation until compelled to yiold the Reform Bill of 1832 waa wrung from thorn only from fear of tho result of further resistance they wero bitterly hoatilo to tho commerciol treaty with France, and Its pure-minded author was the object of their politico! venom.
Hnd thoy possessed the power, they would havo denied the labouring man of tho Incalculable advnntages of a freo press and now, after having paaaod a Reform Bill, which was forced upon them, thoy aro using every effort, by frivolous objections, to deprive of their vote tne very men wnom iney diukc it uuaas mey uam enfranchised. Io not let the electors forgot that Mr. Laird was the builder of that unhappy vossol the Alabama, which caused auch havoc amongst the mercantile marine of America, nnd brought down ruin and miaory upon thousnnds, until her piratical career was stopped by tho richly deserved fate which at Iaatovertook hor. Ia thero a snnemnn nllve whobellevea that otthe time of building this vessel Mr. Laird waa Ignornnt of the destination for which she was Intended Will Mr.
Laird himself aaaert that he waa if bo, let him do so at hia meeting next week. We muat not forget thnt tho claims made by tho American Government for compensation for the losses occasioned by the Alabama are still under consideration, nnd it is pretty certain thnt a very considerable amount will have to bo paid, so thnt the tax-poyora of thia country will havo thegratiflcation of poyingthollttlebill incurred. It ia a healthy aign to percelvo that tho Liberal enn-didnto appeals to tho electors to respect "imperial ratlior than mere local interests." At tho Inst election the parrot cry "See wbnt Mr. Lnird has donofor Birkenhead "wnB dinned in our enra, usque ad nauseam. Let mo Inquire in return, Whathns Birkenhead dono for Mr.
Lnird If report speaks true, he has amassed a princely fortune through tho sweat of the brow of tho working men of Biikeiihend, and that whatever boneflta he may have conferred upon tho town ho has boon ropaid ton-fold nnd I question whether thero bo a mnn out of Bedlam, or In either, who believes other than thnt Mr. Laird remnina in Birkonhcnd beennso It aulta hia intorest to do so. I do tfuat that the electors of Birkenhead will return na thoir member ono who will assist that noblo man, Mr. Gladstone, in his noblo efforts to cut down that source of diacontont whicli encumbers the Irish ground, nnd not ono of a party whoso solo object npponra to bo to oppose all roform nnd conserve all abusoa.

It would appear that tho manufacturing town of Alcoy, in Alicante, has joinod the movement. Two companies of gendarmes had been despatched from Albncete to re-establish order. A telegram received from Carthagena yesterday states that three frigates were in sight off that port. General Prim was supposed to be on board of one of the vessels. The officer in command of the troops at Carthagena was summoned to surrender the place, but had formally refused." A serious collision was expocted.
"Nothing fresh is reported from Andalusio, where General NovalicheBContinuos to concentrate troops sufficient for an attack upon the insurrectionary forces." MOVEMENTS TO DEFEND MADRID. Madrid, Sept. 20, Two p.m. Th column commanded by General Calonge has received counter orders, and will not proceed to Santona, but is to fall baok and take up a position in the vicinity of Madrid. The reason for this movement is stated to be tho progress of the insurrection, Valladolidand a large portion of tho two Coatilca having pronounced against the royal cause.
INSURGENT MANIFESTOES. Madrid, Sept. 27. Tho insurgents at Ferrol have sent a veseol to a port in Portugal to endeavour to buy rifles. Intelligence from Seville announces that the Provisional Government established there haa decreed that Cadiz is henceforth a free port.
The pronunciamentos at Seville and Cadiz were not accompanied by the loss of a single life. News from Carthagena announces that three insurgent frigates had arrived off that port, and had called upon the town to join the insurrection. The governor of the town refused to comply with this demand. The insurgent bands in the interior are increasing. The Queen still considers it unsafe to come to Madrid.
A colonel named Caballos, belonging to the army of General Novolichez, has ordored a former prefect, who is a member of the Liboral Union, to be Bhot without trial. The news of this affair has caused much indignation in Madrid. The concentration of tha royal forces on the hanks of the Upper Guadalquiver continues. The insurgent Colonel Baldrich has landed near Vingroz. Some insurgent troops have been disembarked in Catalonia, and a revolutionary spirit is manifested in that province.
General Prim's proclamation issued at Seville on the 28th instant BayB Spaniards, you cannot resign yourselves any longer to tho present state of things without becoming degraded. The hour of revolution has struck. The Government, by persisting in its evil course, has unfortunately rendered tardy concessions impossible Let us avoid coming prematurely to a decision upon the questions before us, which circ*mstances and events might render impossible of realisation, and which might prejudice the judgment of the people." General Prim proceeds to advise universal suffrage, and adds that Marshal Serrano, the Duke de la Torre, with General Dolce and others, were to have commenced tho movement before with the squadron, but had been delayed at sea. After stating that he speaks not in his own name only, but in theirs, he concludes with the words, "Long live liberty" "Long live the sovereignty of the people." A revolutionary manifesto issued at Seville pro claims universal suffrage, the absolute liberty of the press, freedom of education, of religious belief, and of commerce and trade, a prudent and liberal reform of the tariff laws, the introduction of complete commercial liberty, the abolition of capital punishment, the inviolability of domicile and of letters, the repeal of the articles of the constitution relating to the religion of the state and reigning dynasty, and of the regulations respecting the succession to the throne, the organisation of tho army and navy on the basis of voluntary enlistment, the equalisation of the taxes, the decrease of the excise duty upon salt and tobacco, and, lastly, the election of the Cortes by direct universal nuffrage. This manifesto concludes with the words "Liberty.
Down with the dynasty. Long live the sovereignty of the people." A proclamation Bigned by Marshal Serra, the Duke do la Torre, Generals Prim, Dolce, and others, was issued at Cadiz, with the date of the 19th instant, declaring that they solemnly refused obedience to the Government sitting at Madrid, and they would not lay down their arms until the nation recovered its sovereignty and its will was made known and accomplished, 'his proclamation viKorouslv attacks the Government, and says "Enough of these scandals. Wo wish for a provisional government representing all the great forces of the country, in order to insure public order, and for universal suffrage to lay the ground work of our social and political regeneration. Let us assemble with arms, avoid all excesses, and we will show ourselves worthy of the liberty of which we have been deprived. Long live Spam This proclamation BayB nothing against the dynasty.

28, Evening. The rumour of an interview having taken place between the Emperor and the Queen of Spain at Biarritz is officially contradicted by a communique to the papers. The Queen, it is declared, has never left St, Sebastian. The Oanlori of this evening denies the rumour which it gave currency to yesterday, that Goneral Baldrich had been arrested at Port Vondre. DEFECTION OF THE LAST VESSEL.
The Patrie says the state of affairs in Spain appears to have become more serious within tho last 24 hours. Most of the private letters received to-day convey an unfavourable impression of the situation. Public opinion is undecided, but an important victory by tho insurgents might suffice to turn it in their favour. A despatch from Bayonne Btates that tho last veBsel of the royal navy which remained faithful to the Queen, aud was at anchor at St. Sebastian, has pronounced for the insurrection and put oat to sea, taking with her a customs cutter and several officers.
Orders have been given at Toulon for two or throe French vessels stationed there to proceed to the Spanish coast. The ratric also contains the following i wo members of old Spanish familieB have arrived at LIVERPOOL OMNIBUSES AND THEIR CONDUCTORS. TO THK BDIT0BS OF THE LIVERPOOL MRROBftt. Gentlemen, Being a frequent visitor to your busy and prosperous town, I havo occasion to ride very often upon tho 'buses, bnt regrot I cannot at all times apeak in praise of their conductors, as the following will ahow On Wednesday, the 16th instant, I hailed one of the 'busBes wldch leave St. Jamoa's Church, and although the conductor wna standing on the step looking at me running, he for a oonBldornble time made no effort stop, and when ho did ao it waa in audi a carelesa and feeble manner that either tho driver did not hear him, or, if ho did, did not pull up tho consequence ol whioh was, In my anxiety not to miss this 'bus I jumpod upon the stop, and in doing bo foil back, hurting myself voir much, from the effects of which I am still suffering.
I consider managers of omnibua companies should visit their servants with tho utmost soverlty who do their work in bo careless a manner, and to the riak of the public Yours, Ac, EDWARD GAMBLE; Ennlsklllen, Sept. 2, 1808. CONTAGIOUS DISEASES. TO THE EDITORS OF THE LIVERPOOL MERCURY. that your town is threatened with a fovor of nn endemic character, and ns in all denaeljf populated districts such visitations riuiat be always considered aorloua on account of tho fever polBon being of an undoubted contagious nature, and being rendered more comnmnlcnblo by tho contiguity of houoea and stroet8, and tho genoral popular intercourse that oxIstB, it ia of the utmost importonoo at onco to know what mcanB can bo adopted to arrest the progress of the pestilence, especially If wo have within our knowledge thoso known from ascertained fncta to bo of real value aa preventatives to tho spread of contagion.
Tho onrly adoption of nny prophylactic measures to check tho ravages of an Infectious disease at its outbreak must bo considered of paramount importanoe. With tbo nppenranco of almoBt every epidemic it is fashionable to enter at onco upon the conBidcration of aomo great annitary nrrongomenta. Those things undertaken at the proper time no doubt aro indispensable as conducive to health, but aro totally unavnlloblo during tho prevalence of a pestilential diBeaae; nnd I would hore venturo to aver that opidemlcB generally do not depend ao much upon tho snnltnry stnto of a locality or the country at largo as is generally supposed, but that they aro produced by eomo unknown virus, generated In soma unknown way, and thnt the subtle poison la mi gemrit, and depends upon certain circ*mstances for its propagation. Therefore I would earnestly recommend the moat completo isolation poaalblo in every case of attaok aa the most effectual barrier to tho oxtension of the dlscnBo nmong the popidatlon. Tho Inst time the fever rnged in Liverpool, few coses in the Incipient etago wero removed Into this neighbourhood, being chiefly servants, who, immediately thoy sickened, wero sent hom*o to their parents or Mends, and in every instance that camo under my notice tho disease spread iu the direction of communication, and our town nnd ite vleinltiea were not free from the fovor for many months aftor its flrat Introduction from your town.
I can most positively stnto (and the opportunities I had during three different invnslona wero peculiarly favourable for observations) Hint in every instance where Isolation was practicable and rendered perfect the disease did not aprond further and, on tho othor hand, in all casea where freo communication oxiated, and also whor*ver the Infection made its appearance in a family, aoveral mombera were invariably attacked, proving indisputably the contagious; nature of thomalady, which givestoitit*droad character. These facts have been demonstrated by three dlfforent invasions in this locality, and not tho slightest doubfc remnina upon my mind as to the correctness of my observations, and the conclusion I have come to upon thia important, aubject. Tho last opportunity I had to put this mattor to tho test of exporienco wns in the latter part of 1860, when a fever had a purely spontaneous origin, but afterwords assumed a moaUdecided contagious character; and tho careful Investigations I then made of all tho circ*mstances connected with tha flrBt appearance and the mode of propagation of this Infection verified what I have now with considerable confidence enunciated. Believing that these facts ought to bo more generally known, I hnvo folt it my duty to give them publicity through tho medium of your widely-circulated journal. Yours, J.
C. D. Holywell. edition" BY TELEGRAPH. THE INSURRECTION IN SPAIN.
The Times BayB the latest news from Spain is still unfavourable to the royal cause. It is evident that the insurrection is extending into every part of the country, and tbat nowhere had the Queen's gcneralB as yet gained any decisive advantage. To begin with the southern provinces, wo learn that Novob'ches has not been able even to recover Cordova. The defection of some of his troopa may have checked his operations. Be this as it may, the royal forco in Andalueia still halts at Montoro, north-east of Cordova, while Marshal Serrano is at the latter place, and commands probably all the resources of AndaluBia.
The important cities of Seville, Cadiz, and Malaga are completely in the hands of the insurgents. In Bhort, the authority of the Queen has almost ceased in the southern portion of her dominions. Should the insurgents be strong enough to drive the royal forces back through the Sierra Morena, the moBt wealthy part of the kingdom will bo entirely rid of the Bourbon power. The Queen still remains at San Sebastian, and this very inactivity depresses her defenders at home and her well-wishers abroad. The total defection of the navy-is a remarkable and most important event.
It is not the minister at Madrid but the leader of the insurrection at Cordova or elsewhere who now commands the Spanish naval power. The Queen has not the power to enforce the blockade of a single port. On the other band, the insurgents can blockade or bombard Carthagena, or such other places as may venture to hold out against them. ELECTION NEWS. The Daily News, in Borne remarks on the division of the Liberal interest in contested boroughs, says that a good many gentlemen arc traversing the country just now, most of them armed, we aro sorry to say, with certificates from Mr.
Mill, who aro aeeking seats in Parliament at the expense, not of Conservatives, but at that of Liberals already in possession. A correspondence has taken place on tho subject ot the iNortnampton contest Between an. ouuu Bright and Mr. Bradlaugh. Mr.
Bright protests against the principle of selecting in every case the extremest man because he is the most extreme, and so putting up the representation to an auction in which the bighest bidder will carry off the prize. He thinkB that some regard should be had to past eervice and tried fidelity, and disclaims sympathy with those who seek to divide the Liberal party on tie ground that some portion of it is less advanced than the rest. Mr. Bradlaugh, the protege of Mr. Mill, replies by asserting that his views are more in political unison than any other candidate with, those of the electors of Northampton.
The Morning Herald complaina of the culpable perseverance of ConservativecandidateBin dividing tho strength of their party at Belfast and Ennis-killen, where no Liberal should have any chance of success. At a Conservative banquet at Wisbeach, last night, at which Lord George Manners and Lord Royston were present, the Morning Herald reports that tho crow smashed the windows in the hotel in which the dinner was held, and those of othop leading Conservatives, in the most disgraceful manner.

Morning Herald. It was at about thiB date last year that the effects of the bad harvest began to tell upon the bullion supplies of the Bank of England, and from that time till within the last week or two-there has been an almost continuous decline, tiu the total of 24,498,447 (which was the highest ever reached) had be en brought do wn to 20, 730, 148. Within the past fortnight a revival has commenced, and as circ*mstances with regard to the harvest are now reversed, and the previous draw was ono of unusual duration, thero is reason to expect that a steady influx may be witnessed for many months to come. Times uuy DEATH OF COUNT WALEWSKX Count Walewski died at Strasburg on Sunday evening from a stroke, of apoplexy. The count was born at Walewice in 1810, his mother being a Polish lady, and his father, according to current rumour, the Emperor Napoleon to whom in.
figure he bore a marked resemblance. In Men of tbo Time" it is stated that Napoleon I. at the-height of his glory was attracted at a fete at Waraaw by a Polish lady of great beauty, the wife of a noblo Sarmatian advanced in years; and, being regarded by her as the destined liberator of Poland, was successful in winning her affections." He was remarkable for his precocity, at HI years old undertaking negotiations with tho English Government at London on behalf of tho Polish cause. After a short experience of tho army he applied himself to literature. Ho was, with M.
Thiers, one of the founders and editors of the Messwjer, wrote pamphlets on various political questions, and joined with M. Alexandre Dumas in the production of the drama of Mdlle. de Belle-Isle," besides composing other pieces of his own. In 1840 ho entered the diplomatic career, his first mission being to Egypt. In 1849 he represented the Republic at Florence as envoy extraordinary, and.
in 1855 he became ambassador at St. James potA which h- resigned to succeed M. Drouyn de LhuyB as foroign miniater. Subsequently ho vag successively minister of Btate and president of the Legislative Body. He had, however, hardly sufficient control over the deputies, besides wns somewhat too Liberal in his sympathies to please the Reactionary party, has always had considerable influence with thfj Emperor.
He therefore resigned his claim to lVT. Schneider last year, and has since lived in retirement. LATEST AND COMMERCIAL.

The commercial letters from most parts of the continent daily assumca more favourable character, and become le'ss calculated to play into the hands of the anarchists, who, by tho manner of their cries for peace, are evidently desirous of precipitating civil commotion or foreign war. Looking at the immense impulse which under existing circ*mstances the trade of Europe, and especially of France, is capable of experiencing from anv solid manifestation that may impart confidence, it would, it is observed, seem incredible that the Emperor Napoleon could conBent to miss the opportunity for popularity which such a long looked-for revival would bring.

The Marquis of Bute and his Tenants. Some weeks ago an unpleasant impression was produced in Cardiff by a speech delivered by the trustee of the Bute property, to the effect that the noble marquis would, at tho general election, give a "negative support" to tho Conservative candidate. At the close of the Bute festivities at Cardiff, the Chairman of the Liberal committeo wrote to Lord Bute thanking him for the kindly feeling which had been manifested in his speeches, and expressing a hope that it would not be impaired should any of his lordship's tenants vote contrary to his political views. The marquis had, however, a few hours previously, addressed a letter to his cousin, Colonel Stuart, the sitting member for Cardiff, stating that, although his sympathies were with Mr. Hardinge Giffard, ovcry tenant on the Bute property was absolutely free to voto as he pleased, and that no elector should have anything to fear from his conscientiously exercising the franchise.

Some of the crowd too, freely exercised peashooters against the faco of the late candidate and agatust the windows of his hotel. A heavv Bhower at ength came on, and the crowd dispersed without hearing what he had to sav.
On the following day Mr. lurner again essayed an open-air address, but for a full houi he met with similar treatment. Many persons in the crowd exhibited printed slips bearing the word "Humbug." Mr. Turner called his (hsturbors blackguards, who had been paid for coming thore said be would stand there till the day of judgment but ho would bo heard; and told them that they had filched one of their candidates (Mr. Westhead) from another constituency (East Worcestershire) that the man who said he had asked to be refunded 100 towards the expenses he had incurred was mean slinking coward, and a wilful and diabolical liar;" that he should decline to retire for that noisy ban and that if they were silent ho would retire, but if not he would go to the poll.
A body of police fortunately mixed with the crowd, and tended, perhaps, to prevent any violence which might have been contemplated, aud oventually the crowd quietly dispersed. Good singers should never be bankrupt their notes can alwajs be cashed. NORTH GERMANY. Berlin, Sept. 28.
