John Bright Flanking Disracli. , Mr. John Bright evidently intends to, keep ahead in the work of reform, or perhaps it would be better to say in the work of revolu- tion, in England. We see by a speech he de- livered at Edinburg, before a large assembly, headed by the Reform League and United ‘Trades’ Council, that he advances rapidly to- wards sweeping changes. He takes the broadest and most liberal views on taxation, education and the land question. On the latter he strikes boldly at the foundation of aristocracy, and advocates the abolishment of the law of primogeniture, in order that the ldnds of Great Britain may be more equally and generally distributed. He does not believe ‘that it is a wise thing to sacrifice the public interests to family pride or to the notion that you must build up great families to have great power, that they may exercise a permanent authority in a greatcountry.” That is surely laying the axe to the root of the tree. These utterances, taken in connection with the extended suffrage and the movement against the Established Church, show that England is undergoing a mighty change and that Mr. Bright is going to be a foremost man in the inevitable revolution. Disraeli would goa long way, undoubtedly, to win popular favor and to hold the reins of government, and We may expect to see him bidding high for that; but Bright is flanking him, and in all probability will be the most advanced revolu- tionist of the two. Thearistocracy and other Privileged classes of England are in a critical situation. The proud old monarchy and ils bulwark, the hanghty aristocracy, stand on the verge of revolution, NOTES ABOUT TOWN. ‘The collars along the East river front whenever the tide is unusually high,as was the case on ‘Wednesday morning, are flooded to their ceilings. ‘It ig about time that the business people in this por- ‘tlon of the city should adopt the necessary precau- ‘tions against the destruction of their property in cellars, Why do they not cement them? “Householders cannot be too careful at present to guard their valuables against the depredations of burglars, who are doing an extensive business in this city this season. . ‘The “Highland lassies"’ who promenade Broadway in their tartan plaids, well protected from the chilling atmosphere that is the usual concomitant of @ November evening, should have a little considera- tion for the poor little girls that sometimes accom- pany them and not expose them to the cold in short -muslin dresses and thif cotton hose. It happens that in some wards the democrats and wepublicans have their headquarters in the same ‘ballding. It is a matter of dispute between them wow which shail take down their transparencies ‘rst, on which are inscribed the names and portraits of their respective candidates, It would be interesting to know how many stations fhere are on the Fulton Ferry and Bleecker street ‘Tne of cars between the ferry and the City Mall.

Pursuant to the announcement in the HeRatp the ‘President elect left the Metropolitan Hotel yesterday at twelve o'clock, and with Mrs. Grant and the mem- ‘bers of his sta? took a carriage and drove to the foot of Cortlandt street and booked for Philadeiphia.

Important Speech by Mr. Dieracli on Finances, Public Education and the Irish Church. Lonpon, Nov, 19, 1868. The Right Mon. Benjamin Disraelt made a speech to-day to his constituents ac Aylesbury. After re- turning his acknowledgments for their unanimity tn returniug him to the House of Commons, he pro- ceeded to review and justify the action of the con- servative party on the reform question. Ie then defended the government from the charge of extra- vagance, The expenditures were large; the govern- ment could not be conducted cheaply, but he main- tained that the financial management had been in every sense economical. He advocated the exten- ston of education and favored the creation of a De- partment of Public Instruction, with a Cabinet Minister at its head, but insisted that neither a compulsory educational system nor the im- position of a new tax for educational purposes was In accordance with the opinion of the country. Ile then contrasted the foreign policy of the preceding with that of the present min- istry. The relations which now existed with foreign Powers were those of confidence and sympathy, and all the disagreements with the United States were now removed. He concluded with a discussion of the Irish question. The resolutions for the disestab- lisament of the Irish Church introduced by the leader of the opposition’ could not mitigate the evils of Fe- nianism. The troubles of Ireland were greatly ex- aggerated. Ireland had really progreased ‘within the last twenty years more than England. Diseatab- Ushment was dangerous to the rights of property; it would only serve to increase the discontent of the Irish people, while at the same time it would be sure to sever the connection between the State and religious principle, The Parliamentary Elections=Liberal Ma- Joricy.

The Union republican organization of this city held its convention last evening at its rooms, corner of Broadway and Twenty-second street, for the nomination of candidates for Mayor aud Corpora- tion Counsel, Mr. Sinclair Tousey acted as chairman. ‘The first business was the call of the list of dele- gates—seven from each Assembly district, After that was concluded and substitutes put in for absen- tees, the Chairman inquired what wag the pleasure of the Convention, Mr. RicHanpson moved that the Convention pro- Ceed to the nomination of a candidate for Mayor. Mr. ELLERY moved as an amendment that the roll be called, and that each member, ag his name be called, name a candidate for Mayor. Mr. SPENCER made the point of order that the amendment was the same as the original motion. The CHAIRMAN overruled the point of order. Mr. Kirby opposed the amendment, believing that the original motion was the proper one.

He would expressly jeclare that the 47,800 republican votes of the city would not be given to anybody who did not accept the present position of public affatrs in the nation— (appiause)—who did not stand ready to support the principles of the aaministration; that they would not be Identified with any fraction opposed to the aaministration of the general government, Mr. SreNckr opposed the amendmeut. © For what had the Convention met?

The bitter lessons of experience had taught them that ali firting and honcy-fugling and hugger-muggering—(laughter)— with the different factions of the democratic party had been death to them and prosperity to the enemy. No democrat tor him. No Mozart Halls for him. No Tammany Halls for him, He liked one democrat as well a3 another, and he did not like any. (Laughter.) While the thunder of the cannon which had an- nounced the victory of the national repubitcan party was still sounding in his ears, come weal, come woe, come victory, come defeat, he was ta favor of @ nomination. He thought there was no certatnty of the defeat of their candidates; on the contrary, he thougat there was a fair chance of victory. But success sunk into insignificaace when compared with the vindication of the immortal! principles ou i dd, a4 Oh & rock of ages. Mr. JAMES FAIRMAN Was of the optuton that the Convention should act with prudence and discre- tion, He had prepared a set of resolutions which le read, declaring that it was the purpose of the Uon- vention to present caadidates whose election would secure honesty and economy, and protect the com- munity from the low character and the habituali: Trauduient conduct of those who now disgrace au rob the city, and that the Coavention should noml- nate sterling republicans as weli as fearless ag- gressive reformers. The resolutions also character- ized the city of New York as 9 dark and degrading exception to the moral standard of the country. Mr. Joun U. Witz avowed himself in favor of an informal ballot to develop the names of candi- dates for the ollices of Mayor and Corporation Coun- sel and then of the Convention (pad to Mon- day or Tuesday next, In this he was not shrinking, but was bere to the best interests of the party. He had listened to the ad captandum speech of Mr. Spencer about his virtues as a repul ; but the only question really was as to what was the best course for the Convention to pursue under the cir- cumstances. One branch of the democratic paity had presented its Cee and he wished to watt till the other had presented its candi He wanted to draw the ene. my’s tre before the republicans should enter the fieid.

By this time the proceedings had wn quite ani- mated and delegates Degas to ry consideravie excitement. The Convention also began to snow itself more divided into a party of action, headed by Mr, and a party of compromise, of which Messrs. Dayton, White and Cochrane were the principal spokesmen. The proceedings became at the same time quite intelligibie to the outsiders. Mr. RiCUARLSON Went on to say that del by sent to the Convention for cy ic pu a were ictent a dao their faculties to in possession of do so, They were no fools. He believed that the ‘was toadjourn, in order that some other vention or some Cowing art d might take some ac- tion that would induence theirs; but he did not think that his constituents had sent him there to pat his hand behind his ear and ask what any other body Was going to do in tothe election. The whole intention of the mot ent was truckling to de- mocracy, The democracy always meant tricks and lies; and he would let them go to the devil and let the republicans take their own road.
