ENGLAND. sanuaahannasennannent Who General Elections in Great Britnin, France, the United States and Spain—New Engltsh and New American Voters—How ‘Will the Enfranchised Serfe Votet—The Po- Mical and Religious Ixsues—The Great Methodius YetemNo American Mission to Lonpow, Sept. 30, 1868, 16 te 8 singular fact that the United States, England and France are about to hold general elections this year at nearly ine same time, and that all three of ‘these elections are very important, Before the year fs over we shall 2!g0, probably, see a popular elec- tion in Spain, for the revolution is now an accom- Dlished tact; the Bourbon dynasty has ceased to ex: ft and the Spanish people will soon be called upon to determine what Is to be theirjnext form of govern- ment, The odds at present are that they will prefer to begin with a republic, as an experiment, and end 1 military despotism as a certainty. But, putting aside France and Spain as ‘foreign’? countries, we fin’ at least ono strong point of resem- Dlance between tie American and Engilsh elections, ‘via, :—That m both countries an appeal is to be made to entirely new voters and classes of voters. In the United States forthe first time the negroes are to Vote, In England for the first time the real laboring men are to vote, Both sides claim these new classes of voters; both sides are angling for them with the Greatest perseverance, and neither side can predict with any accuracy which way they are going. The American republicans say, “Of course, the negroes Will vote with those who freed them.”? The Ameri- ean democrats: say, ‘No; they will vote with their tried friends, their old masters.” The Eng- Meh liberals say, “Of course the working @lasses will vote with us, who have al- ways been their friends.” The English con- ®ervatives say, ‘Not at all. There is an immense @mount of conservatism among the lower classes and they will vote with their old masters, the squires and the lords of the manors.” In fact, nobody ee leon Ea pai out stopping to compare negro rights ques- in America with the [rish Church question in Bagland—tiough they are questions of equal impor- tance and «duitculty—I on to another resein- Dlance between the elections in the two countries, nd that is the existence of “carpet-baggers.”” Great Political revolutions always bring the scum to the warface, and, strange as it may appear, we have Veritable ‘‘carpet-baggers”’ in England as well as in the United States, Bradiaugh is one of these ‘and Odgers is another. Both are professional itators, The former has gained some notoriety by athelstical lectures and his loud-mouthed dema- un. The latter brought himself prominently be- ire the public by taking part in the riot which ended the breaktig down of the Hyde Park railings. men are now candidates for Parliament— orking men’s candidates,” they call themselves, asthe American “carpet-bagger#? cali them- ives “loyal nowinees.”? In the United States such theatrical politicians as Oharles Sumner support the “carpet-baggers.” In England John Stuart Mull has contributed ten pounds towards the election of Bradiaugh and twenty-five unds towards the election of Odgers accompanying M4 Money with eulogistic letters. The consequence te that these men ciaim to be the liberal ‘@andidates, although there are other liberals running fm the boroughs which they seek to represent. Bradiaugh is said to have forty local committees Working ior him. The irish Reform League has is- Sued an address to the Irishmen of Northampton, ‘where ne is a candidate, asking them to send Brad- igh to Parliament asa reward for his services to tand, ‘Lhe truth is, that Bradlaugh was a Fenian. Was also turned out of the British army, it is al- Jeged, for theft. Odgers is a man of the same breed. One of the liberal organs says of him that “his er was @ miner and his mother is mad.” Into wach hands as these would the representation of England fall, so far as the liberals are concerned, if ‘all the liberal le@lers were as unwise, impotitic and ractical as the philosopher, John wert Mil. jut here comes another curious phenomenon of Bngiish politics. John Bright, who was once the Wendell Phillips of English agitation, has begun to Mnitate the conservatism.of Secreiary Seward. He Knows that he is certain to make one of the next lib- etal Cabinet, under Gladstone, and he already begins wo feel the responsihilities and the conservatiam of @Mce. One of the voters of Northampton recently wrote to Mr. Bright, asking him whether he ought to g@aupport such old liberal candidates as the sitting bers or such new adventurers as Bradlaugh. Bright calmiy but unexpectedly replied that he Saw no reason why the present liberal members, uch as Lord Henley, should be disturbed. This aroused the ire of Bradiaugh, who thought that Wr. Bright could not possibly oppose him, and he there- ee sat down and wrote a@ letter asking c Mr. Bright's endorsement, or at least r an explanation, which would be eqniv- alent to an endorsement. Instead of that he Feecived a perfect crusher from Mr. Bright, who, after disciaitning any intention of taking part in the Northampton election, emphaticaliy says:—“I do Bot thin it is always wise to select the mostextreme politician because he ts the most extrem ‘0 do $0 ‘would be to pat up the representation to anction, end [ scarcely know @ candidate now before the public who wight not be outbidden by some one wishing to suppiant him. I have some regard for past services aud for a tried fidelity, and my sym- er does not run with those who seek to divide liberal party on the ground that some portion of It is less advanced than the reat. If all the men like Lord Henley had resisted liveral measures and the ‘tension of the franchise we might have hada hard Dattle vo ight for years to come. I think, therefore, the confidence libera! politicians need not be rudely w.thdrawh froin those who have deal! justly ‘with the unenfrancbised classes.”? + This letter hus settled the chances of Messrs, adiaugh and Odgers and others of that class who, they were elected to Parliament, would be looked ‘upon and treated iike negro members of the Amert- ‘ean Congress. Ail the liberal organs heartily en- be) Mr. Bright's a upon ped ea . pclae nm raise him for his boldness and can- OMe they for the result wili be a split in may ultimately alienate the ¢ te tories an easy victory in @or.

This is the same game that eward payed, you will remember, en he @e-erted the extreme radicals and organized a of conservative republicans, which many jomed and mauy more felt strongly dts- to join. However it Tay operate inthe ire, Mr. Bright's discrimination will improve ‘the party now, aud the defence for it is that it will wect the party from a greater injury by keeping Bradiauglis out of power.

Germap Opinion of Spanish Affaire—Impore portant Gunnery Experiments—The Throne Speech of the King of Denmark—The Italian Tobacco Scheme=The Germania and the Polar Expedition. BERLIN, Oct. 15, 1868, The daily papers aro still, in the absence of other Important matters, fully occupied with the discus- sion of aifairs in Spain, Such being their constant bill of fare, we fina even the oMcial Provincial Cor. respondence jumping in and venturing remarks about that wicked country which, as it hopes, will not choose the republican form of government— “that form which carries within itself the germ of dissension and weakness.” If Spain would rise again to a dignified Power and obtain respect among other nations it must adopt a stronger government than arepublic! Thus argues the wise Provincial Correspondence, taking at the same time the ground that the principle of non-intervention, a3 applied in the present situation of Spain, should, with equal reason, hold good inthe affairs of Germany. “Oh, no!’ says in reply the imperialistic France, “that is altogether a different case. Spain is a nation con- fined since centuries within its borders, separated from Europe by a large fronticr wall and whose in- ternal squabbles cannot cause international difficul- ties, while, on the other hand, the reorganization of Germany and the ambitious plans connected with it constantly threaten the European peace. Countries annexed by force, kings dethroned or “subalternized,”’ frontiers suddenly changed, exten- sion of Prussia’s territory and supremacy over all Northern States; perseverauce in the aim of uniting ‘with her the Southern States and formation in the centre of Europe of an empire with its heart and arms in Berlin, Is this not a batch of important deeds, the like of which could never be produced by the overthrow of dynasty and triumph of revolution in Spain? What we have to look to is the general balance of power and any design of changing the map of Europe. It is not diMcult to understand what the organ of [a grande nation means by non-inter- vention—an elastic phrase, made to sult or not to sult just.as the case aay happen and as French inter- est may dictate, The hope that the fection reached in the mann- facture engines of war would Hye some letsure for the human mind to devote itself to works of peace has again vanished in consequence of late shooting experiments at the artiliery ground at Tegel and the fatlure of the heaviest Krupp breech- loading ordnance to make an unpression upon moni- tor plates manufactured in Sheffield. eretofore nine inch iron plates have been readily peneti ad by Krupp’s projectiles, and at the late trial, which took place on the 6th inst, the same happened to new kind of eight-inch plate, from the iron works of Count yon Ponnersmarck. The next tried was the SheMeld plate, being but seven inches thick, but composed of two layers, @ three-inch plate of steel welded to a four-inch bed plate of iron. Ite dimensions are ten and a half feet length by three feet width and weight more than a huudredweight. The firmg on the iron plate of Yon Donnersinarck had so altered the position of the target’s frame that the first shots on the Sheffield plate struck it in a slanting direction of twenty to twenty-five degrees, embedding themselves in the steel to the depth of four inches. These two shota having replaced the target in its original position, it could easily with- stand the following shots from a nine-inch breec loader (0 calied ninety-six pounder), which pene- trated the steel, but stopped short of the iron bed. This extraordinary result greatly surprised the mil tary authorities and spectators, and very interesting to hear the sound, very much resembling that of @ bell when struck, caused by each shot hittin: the plate, On the 9th inst. another trial took place on the same artillery grounds, wii iron blocks for fortifications: of course, again in presence of the high military and artillery authorities, as aiso the Minister of War. AS has been stated before a foundry was erected on the grounds, and the material employed in the casting amounte. to 1,300 ewt., which has never yet been ex- ceeded on the Continent. The more remarkable, however, was the shortness of the time in which the casting was made. The-si of the meiat touk lace In three powerful farn and was completed in three hours. Each furnace yielded in the hour 260 cwt. of amelied metal, and the casting itself lastea oniy forty-five seconds. This seems unusually quick work compared with that of the recent casting of a sieum hammer in England of 2,000 ewt., which re- quired a period of forty-eight hours. ‘The transport orhuge blocks of 800 cwt. over a space of several hundred yards took place by hydraulic power with- in half’ an hour, ald they were got into their proper position Without making use of boits and screws, a great advantage to the artillerists who are secure from flying splints. ‘There would not be the least diMeutty in constract- ing revolving turrets out of the same material, and the motion of such could be easily managed by a man with the use only of a crank, je combination of iron, masonry and earth is said to furnish most excellent coast defences and applicable aiso to all other Kinds of fortifications, ° The Danish throne 8} |, reported to you the other day and not over-compiliaeatary to Germany, has become subject of comment in tle organ of the conservative party there, It says:—*“The Danish gov- erpment maintains the decision by vote, by means of which all who are Danish aud wish to remain so ome to their mother country, She refuses to nish guarantees by means of which German 1d Mud a way for tatertering with the Internal af- fairs of Denmark.’ This conservative paper, the Flyvepost, assures us that all the people will mde h the government, and the universal impression is that by ® general vote the new boundary iine Would be removed south of F'ensburg. The memorial of the ex-Palatine of Hesse seems to bave given courage to another of the dethroned princes to lift bia voice, We allude to Duke Adoiphus of Nassau, who writes, or causes to be writien, in a Southern journal a series of articles touching upon his sovereign rights, His treaty with Prassia, dated September 15 of last year, 18 con- atantly adverted to, also the proceedings in the Prossian Diet, and it is shown by both that a re- nouncement of his sovereign rights has never been demanded or granted, All the transactions between Prussia and the Duke were limited to the disposition ofthe ducal property, which had been sequestered by Prassla during the war. ‘The Italign loan, on account of the tobacco monopoly Having commenced #0 swimmingly, has turned out unhappily for some of the subscribers who missed the opportunity of quick realization. Those bankers who had a long subscription list and no names attached to it resorted to the device of paying commissionaires, loafers, &c., to crowd ronnd their doors previous to opening, and indeed some of the Berlin greenliorns were taken in by this very apecious manwuvre, Respecting the North Pole expedition we have the following from Bremerhaven:—The Germania ts at present lying in the new harbor, It is a small tighi-built vessel, mann aA] able seamen, and the highest latitude she attai a im north and about 16 deg. si snffered somewhat from the ice, but on the whole ‘the little craft Is In a fine condition, and nothing has been spared to accomplish the objects of the expe- dition, When weil up north two Ni ves. sels tried to follow the Germania, but would not trost themselves any further.

Inow can, as I have it from aa eye witness, a ouave, who told me that the sight was anything but imposing or edifying to him and his fellow sol- diers, whose banner is thé divine rights of kings, 1 saw yesterday, rambling in through the gate of San Giovanni, carts carrying the sick who had been too i to be moved to Kome when the camp was Taised—the camp which Cavaletti, the Senator, told General Kantzler the other day had been, instead of a “campo d’istruzione,” a “campo distrazione’’ (instead of a camp of instruction, a camp of destruc. ton). By the bye, they have begun the new depots; they have at last become ashamed of the temporary barrack with which they have been contented six years, I saw @ photograph of the new one which is very handsome. A Roman told me with great exul- tation that {¢ would be finished in two years—in New York it would take three months, I must tell ou, however, that I doubt the Roman depot being ished in two years, ag there are only six men em- Ployed at it, at least there were no more when I visited the site, One hears a good deal about Garibaldian move- ments, and it is said, as you will have seen, that Garibaldi had left Caprera; but this has been denied, and I suspect from what I hear Garibaldi is no longer as young as he was and that he does mot move as easily as he did before his Aspromonte slasco, What evidently is true is that the Italian govern- ment, knowing as well or much: better than we do that they can do nothing, allows the Garibaldians to enroli as much as they please. The Perseveranza of Milan published the other day an article headed “Jnstructions Qoncerning the Association for the Vengeance of Mentana.” This association would seem to be the fraternal union (qfratellamento) of all the towns for a common accord and action to ob- tain the entire unity and liberty of Italy. Each town will have its committee for t) object, which will correspond with all the others, enrolling and pre- aring arms, Each committee will have bold and jetermined young men, called “Chiefs of the Peo- ple,” and each one of these will make himself acquainted with all the inhabitants of his district or quarter of the town he belongs to, noting the names Pe si spemies, and especially of the monks and ests, £0, Last evening began the trievimenti (reception) of the Cardivals Barili and Ferriere—this they have three evenings—two public, and one, the last, when the Pope sends them the hat bya delegate who makes a speech in Latin, to which the Cardinal re- sponds by one also generally in Latin, private, al- though last spring, at the French Embassy, I heard Cardinal Bonaparte respond tn Italian. This third reception is by invitation; to the two first every man may £0 who can put ona uniform or court dress, witb knee breeches and sword. Every lady, on the contrary, ust go with a high dress. ‘Those restric- tions for men were made, as I think I told you in one of my letters, on account of the political demon- stration made at Cardinal Peatini’s reception some BiX years ago, Who had, on taking the oam touefend the temporal power, added, “if it is for the good of the Church.’ [ must say, however, they are not very strict, particularly towards strangers, as our countrymen can testify on former occasions. There being no strangers in town now, and even few Kowans, of such as go to such places, these receptions were very empty and cold. The youug Duchess Galesai received for Cardinal Barili— she ig one of the Roman beauties—and for Car- dinal Ferriere the Duchess Massimo. Speaking of these ceremomes, which are pecuilar to Kome and which are Ng eae for ambassadors on ar- riving, a8 well as for cardinals on receiving their hats, we shall have a number of the former ina month or so. Not only the Spanish Ambassador will be new, but the French, as you know, and, to Iny astonisument, the Austrian, a8 no one aap 0300 Austria would send an ambassador with affairs as they are between their country and Rome; bit he is named Count Trautzmandorf. Lknew him thiricen years ago, when he was only secretary, and if be has not improved a great deal bis talents will certainly not bring about a happy termination of the diter- ences now existing between the Holy See and his Apostolic Majesty. | Pomposity and vanity were his principal characteristics, His wife—he la married since | knew him—ts a royal highness, sister to the Grand Duke of Baden, I think. Bannevlile, the new French Minister, 1s expected in fifteen or twenty days. As to the Spanish Ambaseador we know nothing, and the very alarming news from that un- happy om oe it doubtful for the present of any one being named, unless Prim 18 again ut the right about and things settle jown, much as they ever do there, which is nothing at all. ‘Tthe first secretary, now chargé d’af- faires, Mr. Liorente, I hear, was at Washington, as atiaché, some years ago. We are quite sure, how- ever, of two ambassadors’ receptions, and for these there are no restrictions—dress t8 for men and Jadies in bail dresses, There is only one evening; therefore the crowds, if there are etrangers in Rome, are immense. In a few days will be publiehed a inw which will put ail nations on the same iooting as France as to the rights of importation here. Last year a treaty ‘was celebrated between this government and France, As there are few nations who have not this privi- lege already it is supposed they make this concession in order not to treat wah Italy, A great number of cannon and other arms are arriving at Civita Vecchia—some nought by this government, but more as presents from Catholics of all countries, but especially from France, On the 24th is the private Consistory, but I don’t wait for it to send this letter, as it will have no politi- cal significance whatever. PARIS THEATRICALS. Musical and Thextrical Sensations—Offen- bach’s Latest Productions=Schnelder'’s Suce cessem—A New Dramatist Looming Up— Graud Opera Season, PANTS, Oct, 15, 1885, La Périchole and General Prim are the all absorb- ing and universal topics on the Boulevards, for the havitués ot this locality are not discerning. The Peérichole and Spanish insurrection are new pieces which have come off with equal success at about the same time, and thus itis that Hortense Schneider's laurels have got entangled with the hero's, but the Variétés and tho other scene of action at Madrid must be so totally different in the minds of transatlantic § spectators that, after all the cable news dispensed about the land of orange blossoms, it must become unto all a relief to spy something through an opera glass without any pronunciamiento halo round it, That thing is “‘Périchole, one of Offenbach’s best and Most melodious opéra bouge conceptions, If as much could be sald of the text, of the building up of the play, its senso, in one word, it would be tho richest gem of the composer's casket. This charm. ing little opera being deetined to go round the world on street organs or mustached lips, and to wathle forth from singers’ throats through every modern latitude, the object of this correapondence is to point Out its artistic beauties before the said organs begin to grind, while mustaches are being twirled by way of preliminary and throate are clearing up. The beanties i have mentioned were received on the night of the first per- formance with immense applause, transports of joy and stamping of feet. These demonstrations were solely due to the music, however, for the story 1s 80 poor that it is incredible how such @ triumvirate as Meilnac, Halévy and Offenbach could bave sct it in ite present shape before the public. La Périchole is @ wandering street singer, who has followed het lover through fair and foul, (but a great deal more of the latter than the former.) from court to alley, and lane to square, until fainting with exhaustion she falls down fast asieep on the pavement, Her lover, Piquilio, (Dupuis) feels somewhat low too, especially about the digestive organs, and resoives to try one more tune further on before giving up all hopes of a dinner. This provident individual has not long been gone when the Spanish Viceroy of Peru happens to pass by, and is, of course, struck with ® very criminal admiration for la Périchole, who of course wakes up and liatens to ail the promises held forth of plenty to eat, and others besides. Perichole happens to be @ model of virtue, but sho is all the more hungry, and though she cer- tainly does remain faithful to Piquillo, still she ta by no means heartless to tho Viceroy of Lima Her trials and temptations, her jolliues and tenderness are the subjects of what remains to be told.

This little theatre was the cradle of the Inexhaust!- ble composer's fame, and no sooner has he returned to Paris a holiday than his name heads the bills outside with “The Enchanted File” and “The lale of Tulipatan.” The overture and quintette of the for- mer are as good and harmonious as Weber’s music, It is evident Offenbach 13 seeking @ second self, a higher school, with “Orphée aux Enfers’’ sprightli- ness, The “Isle of Tariipatan” is an ol/@ podrida of barcarolies, boleros, Tyrolean songs and extrava- ganza, The subjeci is the transformation of a young man into a girl by girl’s clothes until he is seven- teen and the distreas of his father at never remem- bering which he is, with all the quid pro quos aris- ing from the confusion of sexes, keep the public in one roar of laughter, Mme, Thierret, from the Palais Royal, plays the mother, Her first entrance ig inimitable. Sue walks up to the footlights to tell the public the secret about her son wiih much mys- terious concealment, then suddenly speaks to the people in the boxes, asking them how they do, The secret does not cone out, and she keeps her audience in suspense about it for fully ten minutes with won- derful cleverness of intonation, dodging and inuendo.

All Sainte’ Day. To-day is cetebrated in the Catholic and Episcopm @hurcbes the festtval of all the saints to whom no ezpecial day is assigned tn the Church calendar. As the festival this year falls om Sunday there ure, of conrse, no especial services prescribed by the ritual, but the collects and prayers of the day are those be longing to the festival of All Saints. When Theodosius the Younger came to the throne of the eastern empire of Rome in the year 408 all tho pagan temples in his dominions were demol- ished in obedienee to his command, Honorlus, the unele of Theodosius, who ruled the wesiern empire, merely ordered tho closing of the temples, as he wished to preserve them as specimens of the former Magnificence of the Roman empire. Among the temples closed by the latter was the Pantheon, at Rome, which had been erected by Marcus Agrippa ape Setiosine to Jupiter in Sicatnernirenee of bee victory of Agrippa over Antony eopatra at Actium. The Tuntheon remained closed until tho ear 07, during the Papal reign of Boniface 1X. ‘ope Bonitace caused the Pantheon to be thoroughly cleansed and puritied and converted into @ church, martyrn in tiv year Tat Pope cregory IIE assigned iy in the year 731 Po OF, se a ih in ais tes re the honor of ali the saints, and, from thas time the sth ol ay wad celebrated in Rome ag All Saints’ Day. The celebrs- tion of the festival at that time of the year was found to interfere very much with the labor of the working classes, and for the purpose of accommodating theso classes, or rather for the purpose of allowing all an Sree articlpate } the religious ceremonies: of the fest.val, Pope Gregory LV. transferred the fes- tival from May 13 to November 1, when the harvest would be over and the poorer people could with much less inconvenience undertake the pilgrimage S Honey where the festival was moat grandly ceie- raved, All Hallow Eve. Among the festivals in the calendar there is scarce. ly one beyond Christmas and Easter which brings with its® much real pleasure as All Saints’ Day. ‘The pleasure which it brings, however, is not con- fined to the day itself, but is more particularly a characteristic of the evening before the festival, known as All Hallow Eve, or All Holy Eve. This night was, in former times, celebrated with about as much festivity as Christmas or Easter; but as tho old customs and superstitions are fast dying out the festival is now scarcely celebrated except in family circles, where es and jokes are played and stories told for the delight of tue younger members of the household. Everybody ie familiar with many or some of the tricks which are practised on All Hallow Eve—suspending an apple from the ceiling by a atring, wy yn With his arms pinioned at- tempting to cate! the apple in hig mouth. Another game is to fasten an apple on tick, and on each end of another stick fastened trans. versely to the first, gecure two short lighted candies; then, having suspended this cross from the ceiling, attempt to catch one of the apples while thé appa- ratus is twirling rapidly around, The witches and other ayo spiritg are supposed to be abroad on All Hallow Eve, bent on doing harm to those who cross them and favoring those whoseex their aid. On the strength of this superstition many foolish pranks are played by matrimonially inclined young females. One trick is to throw rape seed over’ the left shouder while walking in the fleids or gardens, saying:—~ Over my shoulder the rape seed I throw; My husband will follow me whether or no, Another trick is to pour moiten lead through the ring of an ordinary door key into a vessel of clear, cold water. ‘The lead will form in most fantastical looking fragments, which by the imagination or in- clination of the experimentalists are likened to the tools used in the avocations pursued by their lovers.

Peeling an apple without breaking the rind, then, after twirling the rind over the head, casting it over the jest shoulder, that the initial letter of the name of the future husband or wife may be formed, ts another old superstition. The tricks and devices in- siltuted for All Hallow Eve are infact quite numer- ous, and Many of them border on the sacrilegious and blasphemous, while many others—and these latter, fortunately, are most generally known—are simply laughabie and entertaining. In Ireland the festival is nade an occasion for returning thanks for @ bountiful harvest; and when the potato crop hag been good in each fambly a huge pot of potatoes will be cooked and mashed and then eaten, like stir about, with butter.
