7998 Woody one." The insurrection in the Caucasus turns out to be much more serious than the Bussian press at first admitted. Instead of being a small and insignificant disturbance, it appears that the affair was really formidable. Ou the 27th of July, 7000 Circassians attacked Soukum Kale, then garrisoned by 600 Kuseians, and on the same day captured the town. Subsequently 11,000 Russians arrived on the spot, and drove out the insurgents. The latter must then have been reinforced, for fhpv rpnewed their attacks, but were always repulsed with heavy loss.
Intelligence of later date states that the insurgents have submitted to the Russian officials. The Bombay mail brings further details of a deplorable character respecting the famine in Bengal and certain portions of the Madras Presidency. The Indian journals L.v tliRmselves with the "Simla scandal" the court-martial on Captain Jervis for alleged misappro- priation of stores, including pickles "and indulge in severe censures on the conduct of Sir VV. Mansfield, the prosecutor whose name is only too weu rememoereu Ungland in connexion with the scandalous court-martial at Mho w. The condition of the Indian telegraph between Bombay and Kurrachee is alleged to be disgraceful." The assertion is one which many persons in this country can fully corroborate, the charges being enormous, and the irregularity and delay in transmitting messages almost beyond belief.
Great excitement prevails in the United States with reference to the forthcoming elections. 'Ihe struggle between the President and the Kadical faction is one of life and death. If the latter succeed in retaining their present majority in both Houses, they will doubtless impeach the President, and attempt to oust him from his office. Mr. Johnson, on the other hand, has publicly stated that the late Congress -was not a legal body, that its designs were abhorrent to the constitution of the United States, and that its acts must be forthwith reversed in order to restore tranquillity to the country.
To assist in upsetting the party hitherto predominant, the President is about to use his tremendous power of dismissing every public servant who repudiates his policy and ns he has 100,000 places at his entire control, it is evident that his screw will exert a powerful nressure on the electors. It is again announced that ex-President Davis is about to be released on bail. He is said to be fast sinking from a mortal disease. Rumours of further Fenian raids on Canada also prevail, but they are probably untrustworthy. On the Colonial side of the frontier, however, the Government and people are on the alert, and we have a striking proof of the spirit of the inhabitants in the fact that two hundred and forty volunteer companies had tendered their services in the space of a fortnight.
The Mexican is verjr unfavourable to the Imperialist cause. General Mejia, who long maintained Matamoros against the Republicans, has gone over to his former enemies, with his whole division perhaps the best native force that Maximilian had. At Matamoros, the authorities have given in their adhesion to Canales, one of the Liberal leaders. The Belgian legion, which went out 3000 strong, can now only muster 800 bayonets, and the men are neither fed nor paid. They would gladly leave the country, but they can get no money to take them home, and they are threatened with actual starvation.
Our readers will rejoice to learr. thtit the Atlantic cable of 1865 has been recovered, and that the operations for its complete submersion to Newfoundland are likely to be finished to-day. Some details of the expedition will be found elsewhere, by which it will be seen that the task of "fishing" for the wire, at a depth of two miles and a quarter, extended -over upwards of three weeks, during which period the cable was several times grappled and raised only to be subsequently lost. Undaunted by repeated failures, the expedition persevered, and success at length crowned its labours. The effect of this second great achievement upon the shares of the undertaking has, of course, been marked.
The Anglo-American Telegraph 10 shares have been sold this week at 17, being 6 10s. higher than on Saturday last, while the Atlantic Telegraph eight per cent, preference shares, which were quoted at G5 a week ago, have since risen to 95. A further improvement is likely to be noted as soon as the second line is in full operation. The mortality from cholera in London is still declining. The deaths during each of the last five weeks, as reported by the Registrar-General, have been, respectively, 1053, 781, 455, 265, and 198 and the improvement is known to be proceeding this week.
We regret to learn, however, that the pest has again become very fatal in Liverpool, where a decrease was reported iu our last number. It appears that oat of 592 deaths registered in that town during the seven days ending last Saturday, 225 were from cholera (79 more than the former return) and 78 from diarrhoea. Several cases are reported from Merthyr and South Devon, but on the whole the mortality has greatly diminished. Bristol still maintains the distinction of being the healthiest large town in the kingdom. As was anticipated last week, the directors of the Bank of England on Thursday reduced the minimum rate of discount to five per cent.
a fall of five per cent, in three weeks, and the lowest rate which has been fnnMinA -fni. tliB last, eleven months. The Bank return whir linn since been issued shows that the establish- mont. tins ncrnin strengthened its resources, the amount of bullion having reached the large sum of 16,195,000, whilst the "reserve" of notes and gold is now 0,973,000, n. further decline in the value of money is apparently inevitable, the directors are said to be un- willing to mane anouier reuuuuuu vyituuui- gicou uc-liberation," and it is doubtless desirable that no unnecessary stimulus should be given to speculation.
Already a loan for one of the Australian colonies has hppn liroimht out. and it is said that three or four foreign governments are about to enter the market. We regret to learn that great damage has been done to the outstanding grain crops in the Midland and Northern counties by the violent storms of wind and rain that have prevailed for upwards of a week. It is stated that the harvest will be a very protracted one, much of the corn still in the fields requiring at least a fortnight or three weeks' fine weather to secure it in good condition. Complaints are heard in various quarters respecting the spread of the potato disease, DUC there IS reasoQ iu ueneve man me tiup im iuuio will this year be unusually large and good.
It is satis factory, also, to observe that the cases or cattle disease sank last week to the insignificant number of 99, or 49 fewer than the previous week, 206 sheep, however, were attacked during the week. THE ELECTION COMMISSIONS. It must be confessed, we fear, that the proceedings before thp. Election Commissioners at Yarmouth, Totnes, Lan caster, and Reigate, are not calculated to impress the mind with a jdeep horror ot brmery. xne onence is constitutionally a great one, and morally is not a light one.
-The voter is intrusted with his vote by the Constitution for public purposes, and he sells it for so much cash or liquor. There can be no doubt about the criminality of the acti while the exposures of wholesale depravity that have been going on for the past fortnight might well excite some anxiety as to the future prospects of the country. As we read the reports of the inquiries, however, instead of learning amoral lesson that awakens our horror ana regret, we nna mat we are eniei-uuueu by a succession of the best jokes that the subject admits of. It is true these are not of the most refined, or even of the cleverest sort still they appear to be effective in their way, and to convulse good-humoured audiences at proper intervals. The Commissioners, to do them justice, do their best to bring out the confessions of the men brought before them, so as clothe them in the most effective jocular shape a genial hilarity pervades the scene the tribunal is in excellent spirits not to say that the opening which is afforded into a world or laxity and baseness appears to impart a sort of moral comfort to observers who can look down with a calm superiority upon a mass of peccadilloes to which they do not themselves feel any temptation.
The vision, in lnrlinrnns nsnect. of human infirmities which are not more than what we expect from human nature under difficulties is evidently widely esteemed, and leads, we presume, amongst those who think themselves serene and comfortable musings upon humanity and the world in general. It must be allowed, also, that the exposures just made are much more extraordinary and grotesque than any of the discoveries on preceding occasions. Where can we find a narallel to the cool assurance ol bir iiamuna Lacon, who has been connected with Yarmouth all his life, and who possesses unusual sources of information as a banker and a brewer, and yet who declares he has stood two fiercely-contested elections without the slightest knowledge that bribery was perpetrated on his behalf Where, again, can we find a rival to the Liberal agent in the same town, who coolly admits that he is up to all systems of bribery, through his extensive experience, who gives his reasons for preferring the ticket system of corruption, and who admits having bribed some 236 electors one-fourth of the number that polled for the exact sum of 3922 10s. 1 Or to take the case of the "Honourable" Mr.
Monson at Reigate. When did we before hear of a candidate who, by the industry of his agents and the liberality of the electors, became" the possessor of twenty rows of garden peas for the mere song ot lOarow a dying pig lor the trifle of 15 10s. about a score of cats at the small price of a pound a head and an old hat, which was said to go rlirr, p.hpan nt, fivp and fnvtv shillmpH If men of affluence and position are found ready to bribe, it is childish to suppose that electors will not be found ready to be bribed, whatever be their grade in life. The evidence of some of the witnesses, however, is sufficiently startling. At Totnes, we hear of two clergymen who are plainly charged with showing a desire to sell their votes.
At Yarmouth, the Liberal man in the moon was staggered at the conduct of the well-to-do electors. In other towns at which he had operated," it had always been easy to find respectable tradesmen with some zeal for the cause, who would become the captain of a canvassing district but in Yarmouth such persons expected to be paid at least 200 a piece. As to men who took bribes, the same witness declared that many were individuals a respectable position in life, who ought to have been above taking money and I gave them each a little sermon on the sin of bribery." The picture suggested by this last stroke may be left to the imagination of the reader. It is the nearest approach to "Satan reproving sin which hag 'J come within our knowledge. The modes employed to influence the corruptible; part a i 3 ui a cuiisuiueiiuy vary in uuieruub lucuuues, auu aepend perhaps to some extent on the imagination anct tact of the agents.

Drouyn de Lhuys having resigned his post as Minister of Foreign Affairs, The reason of his retirement, dismissal, or wnatever it may be, remains a secret. Some persons suppose it originated in the Emperor's refusal to press the right of France to compensation as an equipoise to Prussian annexation. The ex-Minister was well known to be opposed to Prussian aggression, and to be favourable to Austria, and it is thought that his retention of office was an obstacle to the preservation of a good understanding between the Courts of Berlin and Paris. His successor, M. de Moustier, who has for some time acted as French ambassador at Constantinople, is supposed to have been selected for the office by reason of his connexion with the Prussian Court and his personal friendship with Count BiBmark.
"'Many sinister rumours are current respecting the health of the French Emperor, but they are believed to be exaggerated if not altogether unfounded. Another supposed canard is furnished by the Pall Mall Gazette, which asserts that an Orleanist propaganda lias been begun in France, and, aided by discontent at the Emperor's vacillating policy, has made considerable progress. The story, tolerably improbable in itself, is rendered much more decidedly so by the statement that the intrigue is encouraged by the Empress of Mexico who has trouble enough on hand without interfering in that of other sovereigns. Peace between Austria and Prussia is now an accomplished fact and the text of the treaty will be found in another column. Its provisions contain nothing new, the preliminary agreement concluded at Nikolsburg, and which has already been published, having formed the basis of the definitive peace.
It is gratifying, however, to find that the people of Northern Schleawig will have an opportunity of uniting themselves with Denmark if they choose to do so by a "free vote." The treaty of peace between Prussia and Hesse Darmstadt was signed at Berlin on Monday. It is said that the Grand Duke has been compelled to cede Homburg and part of Upper Hesse to PrusBia, and to pay a contribution of 450,000. The people of Hanover have supplicated the KiDgof Prussia to grant them independence, but they have met with a haughty and even insolent refusal, The extraordinary speech of the King appears in our foreign intelligence The only unsettled difficulty is that between Saxony and Prussia. Bismark is said to demand terms which are tantamount to a total surrender of independence by the Saxon Government. The latter consequently resists and the armistice is fast coming to a close, greatly to the apprehension of the Saxons.
It is supposed that Russia is mediating between the parties. In the mean time there are rumours of further changes in Germany. It is said that the Grand Duke of Oldenburg has been asked by-Prussia to exchange his present possessions for the Ducliiesof bcnieswigananoistem, ana time neis niceiy to comply with the request. The Prussian premier is also reported to be now engaged in the endeavour to wheedle by negotiation Luxembourg out of the possession of Holland, on the ground that it forms part of the German Confederation, Neighbouring Governments, however, have some slight interest in maintaining the little kingdom of Holland, and any weakening of her strength would not be regarded with the favour that characterised the surrender of Venetia to Italy, The material clauses in the Prussian Indemnity Bill which it mav be remembered indemnifies the Government for its repeated violation of the constitution during the last three or four years have been passed by the Chamber of Deputies by 230 votes to 75. The whole Bill was afterwards carried by a large majority.
In the course of the debates, the Minister of the Interior, Count von Eulenburg, said the adoption of the Bill would morally compel the Government to act in a friendly spirit towards the Lower House a result which would be very satisfactory, but is somewhat doubtful to say the least. The rariB momteur says tnat it is caicuiatea that the expenses of all kinds incurred by Prussia during the late war amount to 400 millions of francs. The war contributions imposed on Austria, Bavaria, Wurtem-burg, Hesse Darmstadt, and Baden represent 170 millions, The sum to be levied on Saxony has not yet been fixed, The oily of Frankfort has already paid 15 millions in money and requisitions. Notwithstanding these heavy exactions, Prussia, in order to reconstitute her treasury, will be obliged to have recourse to a loan. The Emperor of the French, in a letter to the King of Italy, congratulates his correspondent on the cession of Venetia by Austria.
His Imperial Majesty states that he accepted the offer of the Court of Vienna, in order to save Venetia from useless bloodshed, and added: "My intention was always to restore it to itself. in order that Italy might be free from the Alps to the Adriatic, and mistress of her own destinies. Venetia will soon be able to express her wishes by means of uni versal suffrage. Your Majesty will acknowledge that in these curcum stances the influence ot France lias again been exercised in favour of humanity and the in terest of peoples." In pursuance of this intimation the Moniteur announces that the ratifications of the treaty between France and Austria were exchanged on Fridaj', and the transfer of the province will immediately take place to a. French commissioner, alter which the people will be called upon to decide the future destiny of their country.
The Austrian troops nave already begun to evacuate the Quadrilateral. The Italians are very irate at the conduct of the French Government; but they have no good cause tor tneir anger, which is, indeed, only exciting the ridicule and contemnt of other Powers, The Italian Government is proceeding with considerable prudence, and a reduction of the army to the extent of 120,000 men is said to have been determined upon. The condition of Spain appears to be rapidly deteriorating. A correspondent, writing from Madrid, says the prison of this city iB dailyfilled, and on' the morrow-more room is made by sending the Liberals in scores to the Philippines, to Fernando Po, and Annabon. It is useless," he adds, to relate all that is now going on in this unhappy Snain, for it -would not be believed, O'Donnellin his latter days of power, and Narvaez ever since he entered office this time, have shown theraaelves worthy TO MILLERS.

the Reigate bacon could be brought to these articles, somewhat remarkable meal might be provided. These are the airy trifles, however, by which pecuniary operations are concealed, lue copious synonyms use tor tne simple word money amongst the corruptible classes show-how stupendous is its power. Olie man calls it grease," another "sugar," a third "tar," a fourth "tin," and others a pinch of sovereigns," oysters," specific," consideration," kites," stipend," commercial," nonsense," "grains," sub," and In one borough "an inch" means 10, "an inch and a half" 15, and two inches 20. In another place gold is called tea," from the fact that it has been carried about iu tea-pots by female bribers. Under whatever name it is known its influence, like that of laudanum, is weakened copious administration, and the doses require to be increased.
Reigate is still, comparatively speaking, an innocent borough. Its electors, who have been operated upon only for a short period, were generally content with modest refreshers varying from 1 10s. to 3. One man, however, personated his father, in order get 2 from one side and 3 from the other, and eventually voted for neither while the voter who sold Mr. Monson his dying pig afterwards got 3 10s.
from other side to buy another, so that the place evidently aspires to no mean notoriety. At Yarmouth the value a vote has rapidly risen from a few pounds to 30 or 40, and one witness believed it would have got high enough at the last contest to make it worth the Mayor's while to take a bite." Yet high price does not appear have made electors trustworthy, any more than at low-priced Reigate. One voter received 20 from one side and 17 on the other, but was so "disgusted with himself that he could not bring his mind to vote for either. Another impartial-minded man accepted 25 from the Tories and 20 from the Liberals, and carried his view of fair play by splitting between them-by which neither were the better. But the borough of Totnes is clearly entitled to all the reputation which unblushing and almost universal debasem*nt claim.
A Conservative witness has confessed that there were only about a dozen pure men on his side, and fear a similar statement would be equally true respecting his opponents. The amount paid to any voter was immense to those who cunningly held out to the hour of the polling it was simply extraordinary. One witness speaks to having offered an elector 500 and there is abundant evidence that a club of seven men stood out for 1000, and got it. An election, in fact, was a time when debts were paid off, mortgages liquidated, and money matters in Totnes made "serene." What the little body of voters will hereafter demand in exchange for their sweet voices, if they are allowed to retain their privilege, we dare not venture to speculate. We have gone into these details with no wish to excite laughter of the reader.
It will be a most serious thineif electoral depravity becomes prevalent in Englaad is clear from the disclosures before us that corruption spreading amongst the smaller boroughs, and must be rigorously cut away if we would save ourselves from a further extension ot the leprosy. An ettectual means dealing with the evil is not by any means so clear as evil itself. Yet much might be done if the upper classes were really in earnest in repressing the abuses of present system. The following letter of a gentleman who enioys the lull coDtidence oi tne conservative leaders has been read during the Totnes inquiry, and ic will enlighten the public as to the mode which candi dates are supplied to constituencies, and the real feelings the heads of Toryism in reference to electoral purity (f nvate upd conhuential.) 6, Victoria-street, Westminster Abbey, June 20, 1865. My dear Sir I am happy to tell you that we have got Lord Cranstoun's full support, and he will use every influence has got in the contest for Totnes, The only difficulty is findiDg a man with plenty of money to carry the scat.
This, however, I trust to be able to do, and as soon as we find him shall know. I will get Mr, Potter to influence the persons you name, I am, dear sir, yours faithfully, Robert Harris, Totnes. M. Spoffoeth. another proof were needed, we have it in the fact that "Robert Harris, the most impudent and audacious briber that was ever exposed, has been employed, since the sitting of the Election Committee, to work the register at Cambridge for the Conservatives.
Much laxity of principle may, doubtless, also be found election managers on the Liberal side. In short, until bribery becomes a crime, not merely in the eye of the law but in that of the wealthier classes, the canker is only too likely to spread. There are, however, various means by which the evil could be lessened. First of these must always be placed the Ballot. The next might probably be found in such an extension of the suffrage and redistribution of seats as would abolish very small constituencies, and render bribery impracticable to the wealthiest pocket.
Nobody dreams of bribing Marylebone, Manchester, or Bristol, and the fact its own lesson. It has been proposed that the mere proof of bribery should disqualify a candidate from ever sitting in the House of Commons, even if direct agency could not be proved against him. But this would obviously enable a knavish Tory agent to unseat Mr. Gladstone, or a knavish Liberal to stifle the voice of Mr. Disraeli.
To punish a man without proof of guilt would be simply monstrous. But if his guilt can be -irought home as it plainly might have been in the case the Tory candidate at Totnes ana tne candidate at Yarmouth, even without their unblushing confessionsa mere fine does nothing to deter other evil-doers. The punishment of bribery should be no matter of pounds, shillings, and pence, to be paid with a smile, but imprisonment and hard labour. One or two severe examples would soon revolutionise the existing principles and practices of the great political clubs; and we should be surprised if they did not work an effectual and permanent cure. The Property of Italian Princes, A letter from Florence in tbe Independence says:" Tbere is some chance that Italy may succeed in recovering, not only the iron crown tbe Lombard kings, and the ancient manuscripts of the Venetian libraries, but also the beautiful palaces of the Austrian legation at Rome and Constantinople, which are still called the palaces of Venice.
Italy has fortunately in her hands a valuable pledge which will only give up on condition of obtaining what sbe demands with so much right. That gage consists in the private property of the archdukes, of which Austria claims the restitution. These archdukes, after all, are-reduced to the Dnke of Modona; for such is the moderation which has presided over tbe Italian revolution tbat the private property of the House of Lorraine has never undergone either seizure or sequestration, and the Grand Duke Leopold still enjoys the revenues, although it is known that family has not ceased to conspire, The dynasty which reigned at Parma never any private estates in the Dachy. The demands of Austria are therefore confined to property of the Duke of Modena (some thirty millions) and the considerable private domain of Francis II. As to latter, the sine qua non of restitution i9 his departure from Rome and Italy," Ophning or the Tenby and Whitland Railway Tenby, Wednesday.
To day the narrow-gauge line of railway from this beautiful watering-place to the Great Western line at Whitland has been used for the first time regular passenger traffic, the line having been formally opened yesterday with great ceremony and public rejoicing. The line is only 16 miles long, but by its completion a saving nearly 39 miles in the journey to Tenby is effected. Up yesterday the route was through Milford and Pembroke, with a delay of half an hour in crossing the Haven by ferry, besides tbe additional mileage, The line, as already stated, on the narrow-gauge, bnt the Great Western Company propose laying down the narrow-gauge along their South Wales line from Whitland to Carmarthen, Direct communicatioa will thus be obtained by tbe Manchester and MilforJ line with the north, and by tbe Llanelly and Llandilo line with Swansea, Neath, Cardiff, Newport, and the Midland Counties, By the completion of this railway, therefore, the long-desired object of carrying out a through narrow-gauge system of railways from the north to the west will be carried as soon as the Great Western Company has laid down tbe narrow gange for the few miles between Whitland and Carmarthen, The line has been constructed at a small cost. although the works are somewhat heavy, There is one short tnnnel and a handsome viaduct at Tenby, The prospects of traffic are very good. The line runs througbja district in which is an unlimited supply of limestone, for which there is a ready market near at hand in Cardiganshire, where lime is much required, The contractors for the work are Messrs, Davies and Roberts, who completed their contract fourteen months before the expiration of the contract.
Captain Rich, the government inspector of railways, made his official inspection of tbe line on Saturday, and at once passed it, The works are executed in a very substantial and efficient manner. Tbe ceremony of opening con- 4 sinted in a special train conveying the mayor and corporation of Tenby and Pembroke, with the directors and others, from. Tenby to Whitland and back. Heartless Robbery.

Prisoner asked prosecutor to change him a5 note, but he replied that he had not enough for that, Prisoner then said, Give me what you have, and you can give me the remainder outside." Prisoner now whispered into prosecutor's ear, saying that ha would show him how to get sovereigns, At the same moment prwecntor felt prisoner's hand in his pocket, and he drew out iouc sovereigns and threw them into his hat. One of the-other men took the money and walked out. Prisoner took, away prosecutor's crutches, and left the house.
