THE RULING CLRCLB AND GOVERNING OLA*8, The whole machinery of government seems to float ‘above the people in an atmosphere of its own, and every- body who wants to be anybody scrambles for the privi- tego of breathang that delightful air, Once within its pure influence the popular man forgets the people, and feels, as Le looks down with @ patronizing pride on the millions of workers below, that he bax become more British than But 1 ha shed away from reflections on newspa- pers to commenting upon everything else. To return, then, where is one to find, for example, ab interesting report of the Birmingham meeting !asi week, at which. it is supposed, two hundred and fifty thousand workh men attended, There may ve such a report found a Birmingham or Manchester paper; but a stranger would natorally iook in the larger papers of the metropolis for information about an event of 80 much importance, Im- portance! Blea» you, they do not think those things very important yet, though they will have to think 80 ot these days. You cannot move the eminently British man—he who lives and breathes in the higher aunospbere—quite so easily. The British monareby, the constitution, the present social status of each class of the people, as they have existed from the beginaing, #0 shall they continue to exist, till chaos come again, is the devout belief of such a man, =o you perceive that what a quarter million of workers may do among their and smithies and soot-blackened factories, or than they are themselves, is, can be, of no importance in a national point of view. They are doing something Very interesting to their class, and they wish they may get it; but the idea “you know”’ that it is im- portant Wo any other clase, is simply absurd. So thinks your emimently British man, and you caunot tik him ont of bis conviction, NOME TRSTIMONY. Now, by a very strange comeidence, I had got thus far when T Wax handed thie evening's edition of the Jai Mack Gazette, the very rst article in which is headed “Our Ignorance.” Running my eye over it I find id 20 almost tdentiag! with those I have been endeavoring to give expression to, that 1 mustadd here a couple of extracts, Here is one;—‘Wo have lived since 1544 in an age of great events, and we can hardiy remember a single one of which the principal English journais, and in partioniar those wlich have the ear of the governing cluskee, have, ag arule, taken a large and statesmantike view, or with respect to which they have not echoed and reduced loan articulate form the current prejudices of the class with which the writers casociate, which prejudices are tm general those of self-satisfied superticial ignorance.” ‘The italics are mine. Take another:—‘‘On most of the great subjects of domestic and foreign poltey our news- papers have, as a rule, been as wrong as 1 was possible for people to be.” And this one:— ‘We all know what a fiasco the whole Englis) press made on the «abject of America (or years togetter. There were not more than one or two papers, and they were far from being im the first class in point of popularity, which showed the least appreciation of the feelings of the Amerienus or of the spirit by whic b they were animated, or whieh even suowed themselves to posssees anything hike a competent knowledge of the commonest facts about American institauons.” ‘And finally -—**Perhaps we may yet have to learn th at 120,000,000 of people, with characters, institutions and roligiona altogether unlike our own, erned in a satisfactory way by an Assenthly which knows little, and cares tees about them, and by a Secretary of State who ik not even expected to be acquainted uath the very simplest elements of a matteron which he gives orders by electric lelegraph at a disiance of 15,000 miles, T do not know anything about the little paper in ques- tion. It is an evening paper, and I see It every evening. Bat is an English paper, and 1 would rather it would save me the trouble of saying that the Bngiixh press, with all is Bearcely Worth ys. CONTRART WITH THE AMERICAN PRESS. Why, even this Pall Mall Gaxelie 18 80 hike its contreres in ignorance, that, notwithstanding ita bitter comments on ite brethren, it has the weakness to say thi ye American newspaper press is insigniicant.*’ If the writer of that most thoughtless remark will point out a country in whieh the press is more significant, more powerful and more influential for good or evil than the press of the Vnited States, I will admit then, and only then, that he i fit to conduct a paper. But lam wearying you and your readers with this long lottar, while I have not kiven you as yet one single item of nows. 1 pray you excuse me; for depending, as I iust, so much upon London papere for news of Engiish afiairs, | have positively no English news to give.

THE REFORM AGITATION. jon of Electoral Corraption in Eug- Innd— Will Manhood Suffrage Cure Ite {From the Parie Debate, Sept. 19.) The reflections suggested to us a few days ago by the inquiries opened in Eugland om several curious facts of electoral corruption, have called forth some curious re- Taarks on the part of certain nals. We pointed out that the direct bri ot by the candidate, however daplorable such an abuse may be, did not alter the composition of an elective chamber, as regards the Independence of iis members, to the same extent as if tie volers were bribed by means of favors distributed vy the central government, If any fault ts to be found with thin assertion, the fault is that it is so évident that it was hardly worth while to utter so palpable a trusm, Nevertheless this assertion has been treated by certain jourvals as the acme of paradox, more than that, they have even pretended to discover in it the eulogy of electoral corruption, such as i practised in certain English the. To argue in this manner is to be wanting in faith, We have always loudly condemned and deplored all kinds of elec- tora) corruption. But we may reprobate them all with- ont losiag the oo of comparing one kind of bribery with another with regard to the practical injury they may causo to free institutions Now, an elective Chamber must be considered in ite two-fold aspect—as means of representation and as an instrument of co! trol. The direct buying of votes by the candidate se- riously affects the reprosentative character of the Unamber, tut does not materially weaken it as an insiru- men! of control, for the very simple reason that the member who has paid For his vat oul of bis own pocket ia not bound Ly any ties of gratitude or obligation to make things Mion the government. The other mode of purchase, injurious than the means of \ not lees deplorable, bat still m first, deteriorates the Chamber tation and as an instrument control, {pasmuch as the member returned in that way is both the indirect repreaentative of the central power and the fae og of its favors. We think this part of the question now been suMciently elucidated for any reader of good faith. But we are, besitos, accused of not taking sufficteatly into arcount the virtues of the working Classes, when we say that the extension of the suffrage does not seem to us calculated to diminish in the venality of the elector, We bs oiven enou, ceoereat in these very columns, the levitimate pretensions of the work! pai he not to'bo suspected of injustice or even of indif- fereues towards them; but we do not fee: inclined to fatter the ae class any more than any other class or any individual, either in France or Poglana. Now, on this question of the sale of votes P England, we have not to argue on conjectures alone, Experience, as we have already said, has pronounced, inasmuch as the ascertained results of the municipal elections, of- fected by avery numerous constitaency, |s merely to lower the price of votes, as happens in markets where applies are very it. jut if votes are sold, some persons it is because tbe right of suffrage does not descend low enough, but stops im that intermediate ap! the elector 1s nether rich to be above |, nor virtuous thie level the wealth 5] Ss she s§ia8t £ 35 eek 3 an infallible remedy for the wie, Ail thin, however, dows not ent an clectoral reform from being inewitable and clos at hand England, ssl par. ties have undertaken to bring |t about, and have ince used the Mon ase He py RM gay Bat again we may that the rewoit the inquiries i* far from favorable to « li extension of the fran. chise, and that the coming Reform bill will be adopted In spite of reveiations of the election commimmions, but NOt on the'r secount, THE CABLE IN ENGLAND.

About a quarter past six o’elock she was sighted, about two miles outside the bar, and the tug waited for her three or four miles nearer the port, The morping was the finest Liverpool has enjoyed tor weeks past; but a fresh breeze blowing, and a drum amg-oas at the meteorological signal station, threatened a gale from the south, ‘The sea ran so bigh that the ‘ug could net commani- cate with the Great Eastern til! both reached smoother water, nearly opposite Waterloo, ‘there Mr. Barber and his party succeeded in getting on board, and they were welcomed by Captain Anderson, Mr. Can ning, Mr. Gooch, Professor Thomson and the other leaders im the expedition who have returned with the gn ship. All were reported wel! on board; and r. Deane, the chronicler of the undertaking, had so far recovere¢ from the serious injury ineurred in his fall from the bridge of the ship as to have pre- pared a detailed account of the proceedings of the ex- Pedition, from the moment when the splice of the 1860 cable was effected, on September 2, down to the comple- tion of that cable to Heart's Content Bay. THE RUN OVER. * * * The weather was exceedingly gh just before the Great Eastern left Newfoundland, on the ‘way across the Atlantic she encountered a sur jon of the peculiar broadside swells which most affect her equilibrium. There were no incidents of much pubic moment during the voyage; but the scientific men on board speak iv terme of the highest admiration of Cap- tain Anderson’s skill as a navigator, which he displayed pecially in running from Crookbaven vip the Channel to the mouth of the Mersey, In the Chounel, on Tues- day night, she was recognized by several outgoing and coasting steamers, and saluted by them with discharges of rockets and blue hights. WELCOME, During her passage np the Mersey yesterday sho was ealuted by all kinds of craft in and about the harbor, and more expecially by the Cunard steamer Persia, which fired a salute in her honor, and by the guardship, bor Majesty's ship Donegal, the Mercantile Marine Associ tion's training ship Conway, the orphan training ship renee and the reformatory ship Akbar, all of which manned their yards, bong out a gay show of bunting and gave her round afier round of hearty cheers, which were as heartily returned by the Great Kastern’s crew. One or two steamers carrying sighiseers, and decorated pro- fusely with flags, came out to meet her, their bands, like those of the larger vessels named above, playing as she passed, “Nee, the Conquering Hero Comes.’’ Crowds of people lined the banks of the river, and, higher up, the dock walls, piers and landing stages. Soon after the big ship bad been secured at her moor- ings in the Sloyne the leaders of the expedition met to hear aletier from Mr. R. A. Glass, whose absence was the cause of general regret, which was ouly more deeply felt on account of the iliness whieh prevented him from being present on #0 intoresiiug an occasion, ‘The letter he had written expressed a similar sentiment of disap- pointment on his own part, and conveyed in strong terms his admiration of the qualities dispiayed by those who e laid the cables aud his gratitude [or their co-opera- tion with himself.
