Whether 1 look to the excessive cost of elections, or to the tamult which so often attends them, orto the unjust and cruel preerune which is. 80 frequently brought to bear upon the lesa inde; lent class of voters, I am persuaded that the true interest of the public and of freedom will be served by the adoption of the system of secret and free voting. It isim practice and is highly valued in almost eve other country having representative institutions, ani I regard it as absolutely necessary toa real repre- sentation of the United Kingdom. The foremost question for the new Parliament will be our treat- ment of Ireland. You know my views on the Irish Church establishment and on the land question, In dealing with the Irish establishment we are not Promoting the spread of the Roman Catholic or damaging the influence of the Protestant religion, We do not touch religion at all. We deal only with the political institution, which has wholly failed to secure any good object, and which has suc- ceeded only in weakening the loyalty and offendiny the sense of justice of the great majority of the Ir people. Our opponents speak of their zeal for Prot- estantism and their loyalty to the constitution, I pene a Protestantism which is in alliance with hristian kindness and with justice, and my loyalty tothe constitution leads me to wish for the hearty union of the three kingdoms in allegiance to the crown. I believe that Christianity and the constitu- tion will be alike strengthened in these islands by the removal of the Irish Church establishment, At the coming election Birmmgham will send three Agitation in Britain.

He has avoided the errors of his uncle, expounded and worked out his policy, earned laurels Jor hisname, established his dynasty and done ines- timable service to France and in the cause of peace and prosperity in Europe.

(From the London News, Sept. 1.) The constancy some men corey. towards their first love Mr. Horsman exhibits towards the object of his early aversion. He began his political career as an ecclesiastical reformer. The sarcasms by which he first rivetted the attention of the House of Commons were directed against the bishops. He succeeded in reducing the enormous incomes which several of them then enjoyed. Indeed, if he had peen as consistent and thorough a reformer in matters poll- tical as tn matters ecclesiastical, his fame would be now spread over the land, his popularity would be second to that of few among our statesmen. We re- cently thought that we should never again witness him coming to the front as a champion of progress, His determined resistance to reform at a time when his services in aid of the good cause would have been invaluable, almost cancelled the obligations he had laid the liberal party under py the zeal and ability he expended in its service. But threatened with a formidable opposition in the borough he represents, Mr. Horsman has certainly made a high bid for the anpport and countenance of those with whom he once worked so heartily. * * * Considerations lead Mr. Horsman to propose a reform of the House of Lords, and asa first step in that direction to expel the bishops from Parliament, He thinks it as expedient to remove the bishopa from the Upper House as it is to exclude clergymen of the Church of England from the House of Commons.

ULYSsz3. THE PRIZE RING. An encounter has been arrangea between Edward Kelley, of Philadelphia, and George Seddons, to take place on the 2nd October next. The articles of agreement have already been drawn up and signed by both parties, each agreeing to stake $500 on the result. The conditions require the deposit by each of $100 to-morrow, and the remainder six days prior to the contest, when the ground will be chosen, which, according to the agreement, must be outside the limits of Massachusetts. Tommy Chandler, the California fistic wonder, has retired from the ring, Young Dooney, who fought in Indiana a year ago, and Kelley, of Philadelphia, are matched for $400. ‘The death of Jack Martin, one of the veterans of the English P.

[From Bell's Life in London, August 29.] Jou Goss AND HARRY ALLEN FoR Four Howe DRED POUNDS AND THE OHAMPION’S Beut.—This match, which was duly ratified and articles drawn up on March 6, has progressed its sup- posed suspicious length, the fortnightly de» posite being duly made, notwithstanding doubts hat flat-catching and not fighting was the order, The regularity, however, with which the deposits were met as they fell due by degrees gave tone tothe match that awakened hopes of an- other revival of the (‘‘notto be put down”) ring to almost its most flourishing days. The final deposit of £70 @ side was staked with us yesterday, so, there fore, as regards monetary matters everything o att serene. On Thursday, according to agreement, Ould Nat and Brown, of Salford, on the part of Alt with J. supper and Savage for Joe Goss, met an agreed to the most salient points required, but » hitch cropped up as regarded the conveyance, &0. Another meeting was held yesterday, when all went off couleur de rose and the argument was Onally closed, so that no loophole was left. The arrange ments, as regards the ring side and inner ring, were left to Oul Nat for Allen, and J. Tupper for Goss, they eacn appointing half a dozen men, and means of transit, thus, at an rate; insuring order within the inner ring. Althougl the match under consideration has not arrived at the culminating point of a sensation match, yet when @ review is taken of the pie fights of the compe- titors it will be found the men are equally matched, Joe Goss and Rooke fought in 1859, the former just winning; Joe Goss afterwards beat Ryall, and #lso fought @ draw with him as well as Tom Allen; the latter beat Posh Price, who was a'so defeated by Joe, Harry Allen has pngate draw with Jack Rooke, who fought a draw with Ryall, and thus such a fine line ought to be drawn that it will require a good judge to make a certainty of a win on either side. . The arrangements as regards the mode of transit, &c., have been managed, we believe. so satisfactoril and ‘creel an no hitch can possibly occur. Bot! men are well and will be about eleven stone, quite heavy enough.for any championship, Jem Mace and ‘Tom Sayers being fresh in our reader’s memory, and so well are they looked after that no possible inters ruption can occur to them, The whereabouts can be ee at Nat Langham’s, the Mitre, Saint Mar- tin’s lane. Allen Arrested—His Appearance at Bow Street. {From the London Herald, Sept. 1.) Henry Allen, a pugilist, was brought before Sir Thomas Henry, at Bow street, poneriay, charged with intent to commit a breach of the peace. Mr. Abrams appeared for the prisoner. Inspector Tanner deposed that he knew the pris- me bea prize fighter. There was to bea fight Plone day. The fight was to take place in the London istrict, that meaning a short distance from ve act’ snfet le x com: , » Bi . In Cor pany with Inspector Silverton, apprehenied the risoner at Willesden, on his way from Manchester, e charge was told to the prisoner, who said that he would rather have lost than that this should have happened. He also asked, “Have you got the other man?” ° a eemee Henry—What is the amount of the stakes Inspector Tanner—£200 a side. Mr. Abrams cross-examined the second witness with the view of showing that the prisoner, bv say- ing that he would rather have lost £500 than this should have happened, intended that he would not care to have to undergo the training again, Sir Thomas Henry said he ho) Mr. Abrams did not wish to suggest such an idea as tha! Mr. Abrams stated that the prisoner was avery respectable, ee man, Lm now a vapood house at chester. He was informed of his re- sponsibility, and felt his unfortunate position. Sir Thomas Henry remarked that full notice had been given of the Rag ars he on & very recent and important occasion, He also wished to remind Mr. Abrams of the fact that these men had backers. Mr. Abrams replied that the backers were notwith- standing very backward with regard to finding ball, Sir Thomas Henry said the stakes were very high, and the prisoner must accordingly find two sureties in £800, and his own recognizance to the same amount for twelve months, and that within twenty- four hours, Mr, Abrams observed that in reference to the pris- oner’s own surety he was certain he could not find that amount. Sir Thomas Henry said he had taken everything into consideration, and that he would not be very particular as to the prisoner’s own re- cognizance, r. Abrams satd that on another occasion he should opply to Sir Thomas Henry to reduce the bail, ‘The prisoner was then removed from the dock. THR ARREST. {From the London Herald, Sept. 1.) It would appear from the circumstai connected with the apprehension of Allen that the po ice have resolved to put down prize fighting once for all. There 1s no doubt whatever that the promised fght between Joe Goss and Allen was at least a genutt compact, and that both men were really in carnest. ‘This is proved by the fact of the unusual caution that had been exercised on the part of all concerned to keep the match a secret from the police authori- ties. In this essential particular, however, they failed, and the consequence is that, as stated above, one belligerent now confined in Bow street police station, for want of @ very heavy bail, is unable to put in an appearance in the ring. Inspector Silverton, who it will be remembered had such a lively encoun. ter with Jem Mace the night before the fight that was arranged between that scientific boxer and O'Bald- win, by some means or other got scent of the oor proposed fight, and the Secretary of State aving, upon his information, granted a warrant for the apprehension of one or both of the men, he, ac- companied by Inspector Tanner, proceeded without loss of time to Manchester, and thence to the train- ing quarters of Alien, in Cheshire. Upon arriviiy there they found that Allen had just left. They trac him back to Manchester, and then ascertained that he had left by the four P. M. train, accompanied by Brown, his backer, and Bill Lang. his trainer, This left the officers the only alternative of telegraphii to London to Inspector Clarke, who, it will be reook. lected, accompanied Inspector Tanner to Americain pursuit of the murderer Muller, Mr. Clarke, acting upon the telegram, was in waiting at the Willesden station upon the arrival of the train, and at once ar- rested Allen, who appeared thunderstruck, and ex- claimed, “Il would sooner have given £500 than this should have happened The Birmingham Ring—Young Matciett, of Birmingham, and J.
