Mr Gladstone-,, re-invigorated by his visit to Norway, wftere he accomplished the extraordinary feat, for a man 75 years of age, of walking eighteen miles, has issued a manifesto to the electors of Midlothian. The Liberal elections are again to be fought under the com mand of the veteran chief. His pro gramme is worthy of his great reputa tion—reform of the House of Lords and land laws, a revision of the inci dence of taxation,extension of the Local Self-Government of the Kingdom, and reasonable Home Rule for Ireland. This is a platform of Home Reform broad enough, we should think, to satisfy the moderate Radicals. In his foreign policy, Mr Glad stone's views upon the early evacua tion ef Egypt aro unchanged. A policy which aims at avoiding foreign complications and bends itself to the herculean feat of improving the political and social condition of the people of the United Kingdom, is that which will command the heartiest sympathy of all earnest Liberals. Mr Gladstone's manifesto oontains no un certain sound, and if it should fail to elich the support of a majority at the coming elections, the reason will be because the country believes that an interval of rest is required after the re cent political changes, and because greater|faith is reposed in the foreign polity of the Conservative Govern ment.

Tho news that Roumelia has thrown off tho Turkish protectorate and has thrown in her lot with Bulgaria, though it is stated to have caused profound astonishment throughout Europe, need not occasion surprise to any one who has boon watching tho tendency of events in that part of tho world. Tho district of Roumelia was granted self-govern ment by tho Berlin Congress in 1878, and oven then it was easy to forsee that whenever opportunity offered the people would demand complete independence. Over two-thirds of tho inhabitants are Bul garians, so it is plain in what direction their inclinations would tend. The revolution so far has been unaccompanied by bloodshed ; but whether the Sultan of Turkey will let Roumelia Blip from his grasp without a Btruggle remains yot to be seen. Tho Roumelians have seized Aleko Poska, the Turkish governor, while tho army have taken the side of the revolutionaries, and have occupied tho frontier fortifications. One European power, viz., Russia, will not be surprised at the turn events have taken. For some time back Russian influence has been busy at work in Bulgaria and Roumelia, and, no doubt, the present coup is tho out come of her efforts to accomplish tho disom bermont of Tnrkoy, and tho building up of a Sclavonic Kingdom.

Tho Right Rev. Dr. Cowie, Bishop of Auckland, hold divine Bervico yOßterday morning at tho Church of tho Holy Sepul chre, There was a large congregation. His Lordship proached a practical sermon from the parable of the Good Samaritan— Luke, 10, v. 37, "Go and do thou "likewise." The Bishop gave tho allegorical and prac tical interpretation of the sacred story, enforcing the lesson of all embracing charity without special regard to sect or circumstance. Hundreds of Christians, he said, were like tho Lovito who looked on and perhaps pitied, but never assisted. There wero sovoral institutions in this city which wero commendable, and no reason able person could find fault with thoir con stitution and action; still, what small support they received from Christian peoplo. Tho example of the Good Samaritan was of a much higher type, and worthy of imitation —it was an example of Belf-denial, unsec tarianism, and immediate action.

Yesterday the anniversary services of tho Mount Eden Congregational Sunday-school took place. The pastor of the Church, the Rev. \V. J. Closs, proached in the morning, and in tho afternoon an interesting address was delivered to the children by the Rev. J. Levcns, who has lately taken charge of the Devonport Congregational Church. In the evening the Rev. R. Ravin preached an eloquent sermon. There was a good attendance at each service, visiting friends from other Congregational Churches boing present.

THE ENGLISH ELECTIONS.

Manifesto by tho Liberal Leader.

[rhuter's cai-Lehram,]

London, September 19. Mr Gladstone, in viow of the approach ing general olection, has issued a politi cal manifesto to the constituency of Midlothian. He urges the complete with drawal of the British troops from Egypt at the earliest possiblo moment, and ex presses himself as distinctly opposed to tbo annexation, a protectorate, or tho indefinite occupation ot that country. Spooking of home affairs, Mr Gladstone advocates reform of tho Houso of Lords ond tho land laws. The necessity for a readjustment of the in cidence of taxation ia pointed out, as well as for tho extension of the principle of local self-governmont. He expresßOß himself ready to grant Iroland any system of solf govornmont compatible with the mainten ance- of tho supremacy of tho Crown, the intogrity of the Empire, and tho authority of Parliament. Iv conclusion Mr Glad stone announces that ho speaks as the working chiof of tho Liberal party. Ola Gladstone's views on Land Reform, tho Houso of Lord*, dec. Mr Gladstone, in his manifests to the electors of Midlothian, referring to the roform of the Houso of Lords, oxpresßos tho opinion that the time is yot distant when it can bo expected, and urgos that it is necessary to recog nise the influonco of birth and wealth. Ho advocates an easy system of land transfer, and that tho power to will land ehould be limited to the next life only, Tho question of disestablishing the Church of England is not, he holds, yot ripo for action to be taken. The Marquis of Hartington and the Right Hon. Mr Chamberlain differ considerably with the viow expressed, but Mr Gladstone, if anything, leans towards Lord Hartington's opinions. Thoro is no firmness in foreign policy advocated, except in tho matter of tho Afghan difficulty. The.manifesto is generally considered a moderate one and not at all calculated to arouse any en thusiasm amongst tho Radical Party.

Thomas Braoe deposed that he was a seaman on board tho Duchesa of Argylo, from London, which arrived in Auckland on Monday last. The prisoner was a stowaway. On the evening of the 16th ho and other* went on shore. Returned to the vessel between 10 and 11 o'c.ock; the prisoner went on hoard with him and two othoro now present. Prisoner was very quarrelsome, and he and prisoner woro wrangling down the street to tho vessel. Could not remember distinctly what it was about, but prisoni r said he was as good a man as he I Hrace) and porhaps a little bettor. When thoy got on the vossol, thoy had heavy words; ho struok the prisoner as he was cutting up tobacco. Could not say exactly what followed, ltomembored being stabbed, and Immediately felt done up. He ralsod the knife, and mado a blow at him, and struok him In the left breast. The wound bled very much. Ho should Ihlnk the wound was an Inch doep. It was very core. Had been confined In bod until this morning. Still felt weak and in ranch pain (shirt produced with out, and stained with blood). Tho Injury was Inflicted with a sheath knife.

Henry Pulsf ord, seaman, deposed that he knew the prisoner, who was formerly a shipmate of his. He came from London as a stowaway. He did not go ashore with them, but saw them return on th c night of the 16th. Heard prieouer and Brace calling one another all sorts of offensive names in tho forecastle. Saw Brace strike Berry, who had a knlfo in his hand. Brace cried out "I am stabbed." Borry's knife and tobacco were in his right hand. Did not see his hand raised. Brace lifted up his shirt. The blood was running. Brace said to prisoner, ■• You've put tho knife into me; you had better do It again." The knife bolongod to another man, and was lying on the benoh before B.rry picked ii up. Berry ownnd that he had done It, and that Brace bad not been on American ships, or ho would not notice a cut like that. (Knife produced). The Benoh: What stato were the men In .

Witness: Thoy wero both drunk. I was per fectly sober. Dr. Walker deposed to being called to attend the injured man on the morning of the 17th. Found a wound on his head one inch and a half long, caused by a fall agalnßt something. The wound oa the left brenst was a quarter of an Inch broad, just across the third rib, which pre vented the knife going further. The wound on tho head was far the worst. Had not the rib prevontod it, the knife might have penetrated tho lung. By the Bench: He must have Buffered con siderably from the wound on tho head. Tho injuries are not likely to terminate fn tally. The head wound produced a shock to the nervous system. Sorgeaut Andrew Clarke, of the Water Police, deposed that on receiving Information of the assault, he went on board the vessel and found tho report correct. He arrested prisoner in Queon-streot on tho charge of stabbing Brace with a sheath knife. He Bald Brace ran against hin'JVd was thus Injured. Iflfcjp-nch considered that tho evidence did dibVf*any malice on the part of tho accused. It was rather a drunken squabble, and had better be dealt with summarily. In addrotslng prisoner, the Bench said he had placed himself in a serious position, and the consequences ot hAj act might have been far worse. Fined £5, or 1 month's imprisonment.

ARRIVAL OF THE P.M.S.S. ZEALANDIA WITH THE English and American Mails, VIA SAN FRANCISCO.

ANGLO-COLONIAL NOTES. (Fhom Our Losdon Coi._u.spo_.dent.) Losbon, August 13. Town Dull. LIFK in town is very dull just now. Tho majority of the Anglo-Colonial sot who went away for tho bank holiday last week are still olther at tho seaside or in the country, and the few left to look after busi ness do little save groan at their unhappy fatt Tne Enabling: Bill. The passing of tho Enabling Bill at tracted no attention whatever. The' Duilv News "was the only paper which referred to the discussion in the Commons, and all it said was that as the provisions cf the bill presumedly represented the wishes of tho colonies, there was no use carping.at them. The antipodeans mußt know their own business best. , . „ ~ Tho " British Australasian considers the bill a compromise. No colony has ob tained precisely what it wanted, not even South Australia, which is indifferent what evor its fate may bo. But it is worthy of remark that Victoria would at the last moment havo yielded evon her strong objec tion to the repealing provision if thereby she could have induced New South Wales to express her contentmont with tho measure. But at this point it was Queens land which held most rigidly to its expul sion, and as we see she has carried her point ia this particular. New South Wales ot the lost endeavoured to obtain the postponment of the bill, but New South Wales put on an appeaxance of indifference so long that when Bhe awoke to the fact that the bill waa about to pass she was too lato to accomplish any thing. There will no doubt be a soreness on tho subject in Sydney, but it will wear off, and in the meantimo hero tho Act stands, and it will bo too poworfui, and wo will suy attractive for the colony to preserve an isolated attitude. Victoria and Queensland mußt give New South Walos asjMNgces that they will not attempt to fo-^fWjfrliCV tion upon her nor to outwit hcrifg^Mft points and those assurances gi-froi^ tho mother country will sooner or later bo drawn into the Australasian Confederacy. And Now Zealand also, we hopo, will join hands with the rest of tho Auatralias in duo time.

An Eccontrlo Colonist,

I wonder if any of your readers know anything about tho young man Charles Boy doll, who was arrested at Vienna last week for sending threatening letters to Mr Glad stone. According to report he quite recently arrived from New Zealond, and had in his possession a certificate of deposit issued by a New Zealand Bank for £2,779 9s fid. It was this certificate of deposit got him into trouble. He had negotiated it to a waiter at one of the hotels for GOO florins, and tho lattor, making inquiry at the English Con sulate, discovered his Bocurity to bo wasto paper. Boydell was arrested, who" his handwriting was found to correspond with that of the threatening letters to Mr Glad stone. Ho had written two—ono signed " By Order of tho Parnoll Foreign Leaguo," threatening death unless a request for £300 was promptly complied with, and another signed "Irish Tim," advising the Grand Old Man not to court his doom for the eako of a trifling sum like £300. Tho curious part of the business is that Boydell turns out to be by no means destitute. After all he has some money in a New Zealand bauk, though where and how much has not boon stated.

C. Boydell, the eccentric Now Zealand colonist, charged at Vienna with writing threatening t lotters to Mr Gladßtono, was tried on Saturday last and sontenced to six months' hard labour. On boing oxamined by the President, Boydell ploaded not guilty to the charge of intontion to extort money, but admitted that ho hod written the threatening letters. In answer to the questions put to him, he Btated his father died nine years ago, leaving a fortune of £40,000, his share boing £2,400. He was advised to go to New Zealand, whore he could invest his money at high interest and live cheaply. The colony didn't como up to his expectations in these respects, so ho pre sently returned, and went to Borlin, whoro, according to what a friend had told him, he could live on the intoreat of his remaining capital, £I,SOO. Ho did not like Berlin, so went on to Vienna. Here he got into dobt, and was not ablo to secure at once the residue of his capital of £400 from th»Now Zoaland bank. Pressed for payment by his creditors (tho waiter and porter at tho Hotel Kreuz), Boydell conceivod the idea af writing the threaten ing letters that got him into trouble. He declared he was in such a frame of mind that he was not respousible for his actions. At one time he hod suspected his mother of conniving at the detention of his funds, but had discovered, whilo in prison, that his suspicious were groundless. The President road a touching letter which the prisoner's mother had addressed to tho investigating magistrate, saying that as soon as her Bon's money arrived from Now Zealand her son's creditors would ho paid. Ho had boon takon in, and had no inten tion of duping others. Finally sho pointod out he had always been of weak intellect, and be had caused her great anxiety. The Judge also read letters from tho prisoner's two creditors, stating they were convinced ho had no intention of defrauding them of their money. Boydell said he had written the threatening letters, but had novor boon to fetch tho answers, and this was con firmed. The counsel for the defence mado a vory impressive speech, which had great effect on tho jury, who only found the pri •onor partially guilty. Boydell onfreated tho Court to deal leniently with him, and not make him an outcast by inflicting a degrading sentence. Ho was committed to six months' hard labour, with ono day bread and water diet every month. This, everything considered, was a very lenient sentence. Persons threatening Mr Glad stone haven't often got off so lightly. Sir J. A. Froudo ob Now Zealand. Mr J. A. Froude has returned to England wonderfully impressed by New Zealand. He tolls evorybody he thicks it will be evontually the finest and most prosperous colony of all the Australias, and that a groat race of pooplo will presently grow up there. Your politicians may be flattered to know that he thinks them a touch abovo their Victorian and Now South Wales brethren—abler, lobb assertive, and better bred. He seems to havo been very much pestered by the genus interviower. Re porters turned up at all hours, and in tho most unlikely places. Mr Froudo doesn't think much of tho colonial press. With ono or two exceptions, tho men ho met were inferior to the average working jour nalist in America. National Bank of New Zoaland. An extraordinary general meeting of tho shareholders of this Company was held at the Cannon-street Hotel on Friday last, for the purpose of submitting a resolution to alter the Articles of Association and to re duce the capital of tho Company. Mr R. B. floaro presided, and moved the follow ing resolution : —"That the regulations of the Company contained in the Articles of Association bo, and the same aro horeby, altered by adding thereto a now article as follows : That tho Company may from timo to timo reduce its capital in acccordanco with tho provisions of the Company's Act 1862 to 1883 or other acts in force at tho time being." He stated that the articles in alteration in tho articles did not givo the directors any power to deal with tho capital, except with the knowlo.lgo and consent of the shareholders. It simply enabled tho Company to do what more recently formed Companies could do by act of Parliament." Mr Dudley Smith seconded the motion, which was carried. Tho Chairman next moved :—" That tho conditions contained in Memorandum of Association of the Company be so far modi fied as to reduce the capital of the Company, and that the capital of tho Company do henceforth conßist of £1,900,000, divided into 100,000 shares of £9 each, being the shares already issued, and 100,000 shares of £10 each, being the shares unissued, the sum of £100,000 being cancelled as lost capital, and the paid-up capital being re duced by such sum as of £100,000 without extinguishing or reducing tbo liability of £6 10s per share remaining on tho issued shares of the Company. He stated that in the opinion of the Board it was necessary that £100,000 should bo transferred from tho capital account and placed at thoir disposal under the head of bad debt account, to pro vide for contingencies which wero likely to arise fron> a number of accounts in the colony. Ho added that from recent ad vices thoy had received, the R»nk had tided over Its difficulties for the present with re markable ease and comfort. There had boeafln absence of all pressure on their re soiffces, end they might fairly hope to get

through now without calliil'g out tho share holders for further capitul. But certainly the Board wore tint going 1o wind up tho business, as had been proposed. Mr Dudley Smith seconded the resolution, which was agreed to. Personal and General. At the High Moveable Conference of the Independent Order ef Kechabitea held at Exeter last wook, Broa.

A young man not long . ago married. Soon after his wedding he and his wifo had a quarrel, which led to hia searching her boxea, and there ho found a marriage certificate—not his own. Inquiry elicited the fact that his bride had boon married a yoar previously to a man in New Zealand. As the second husband docs not agreo with his wife ho is now advertising in tho Austral asian papers tor No. 1, the lawful spouse, to comound take her off his hands. No. 2 pro mises No. 1 that if ho will communicate with the advertiser, ho will learn of " somcthiug to his advantage." Imagine No. l's feelings whon he loams what the advantage ia. The 22nd gonoral mooting of tho New Zealand Trust and Loan Company was held at tho offices, Comhil), the othor day, Sir Charles Clifford presiding.

Very little improvement can reason ably bo expected in rates till well on in September. Tinned moats aro also remark ably quiet just now, Neither our own Govornment nor those on tho Continent havo beon operating for somo little time past, and this, in the faco of the mammoth sup plies ordered by speculators in view of a great war, has made buyors very nervous. Quotations all show weakness. Boiled mutton of tho finest quality can bo easily obtained below fourpenco halfpenny. Boiled beef has not yet como down, but there is so little doing that tho prices aro quite nominal , Tho growing inclination of Australasian tourists and Anglo-Australian residents to settlo down in tho neighbour hood of South Kensington and Earlscourt has suggested to a syndicate of gentlemen interested in tho colonies tho idea of build ing or starting a large private hotel (similar to Bailey's, in Gloucester Rood), specially for colonists visiting England. A block of the largo family mansions known as Crom well Houses (Cromwell Road) has been secured for tho purpose, and the hotel will bo ready in plenty of time to accommodate visitors to tho Indian and Colonial Exhibi tion next yoar.

THE CHLREA SCOURGE.

Sliooklng WCMBin Spain. Maiikii), Augus»flh4<i4ftere wore 4J48 now cases of cholom tnHMI deaths repor ted throughout Spain yesterday. Returns from tho populous Province of Navarro, however, aro still incomplete. King Al fonso has donated £4.000 t» tho Granada cholera fund. Tho money was badly needed at that place, During tho past twolvo hours twenty ' three now casos of cholera and cloven 1 deaths wero reported in thin city, and in tho province outside ot the city 100 how cases and thirty.ouo deaths wero reported. Tho 1 condition of "(Jranada remains pitiable. ' Hundreds of people aro attacked by the ' cholera in tho streets noarly evory day. ' Thoro aro no doctors and no authorities to ' look after tho victims, who often pass through thoir agonies in tho street and ex -1 piro unattended in tho gutters. Most of • the uninfected populace have fled, and the I few healthy citizens that remain are dis -1 heartened and apathetic. Corpses remain unco-lined and unidentified. Tho very misery wrought by the plague haa forced ' a resort of the desperate expedient of coiu ; pelling soldiers mid convicts to carry on the 1 work of removing from tho public ways and interring tho bodios of tho unknown ! dead. A terrible incident connected with tho cholera epidemic is reported from Spain. ' A priest, who had laboured zealously among tho stricken people, finally was pros trated by the scourge himself. Tho disease 1 passed through all its regular stages, and the priest apparently died. The frightened people who were about him mado a hasty examination of the body and placed it in a coffin, screwed down tho lid,and left it over night to bo buried tho next day. When 1 tho bearers came in tho morning to remove the body a foarful sight presented itself. The coffin had been upsot and had fallen from the table to the floor, and tho body was twisted around and partially doubled up, showing that it had been writhing in mortal agony. Tho face was appalling in its expression of hopeless horror, and tho hands were bleeding. It is feared that many casos of premature burial may have occurred during tho preeent opidotnic in consequence of tho great fright among the peoplo, which causes them to get rid of the dead at tho oarliost possiblo moment. ■ Tho cholera has for some time existed in the gaol at Cartagena, but every effort has boon made-to suppress outside knowledge of the fact. Yesterday it leaked out that no loss than 200 criminals imprisoned with in the gaol wero down with the scourgo. The discovery produced a foarful panic among the othor convicts and they roso in revolt and made most desperate efforts to get away from the prison. They were, how ever, iina'ly overpowered by tho soldiery and compelled to rosumo their quarters. Several inmates of the gaol at Granada are alpo ill with cholera. There is great excitement in Seville over tho Government proposal to abolish the power of local authorities during the prev alence of cholera, because of thoir ineffi ciency in sanitation, and to. itself assume the direction of tho cities' local affairs, The populace are hostile to the doctors and avorso to any interference in family affairs, and they strongly support the locnl authori ties. A great crowd assembled in all the pubic places last evening to discuss the ti-uatiou; and tho civil guard was called upon to disperse thorn. Travellers in many districts aro quaran tined five to twenty days, and undergo groat hardships, boing lodged in barns, or in the open air, and suffering from lack of food. Some villagos are strictly cordoned. Trenches havo been cut to stop travel on tho roads, and villagors threaten strangers and compel them to leavo. The Govorn mont has ordered tho Governors of tho provinces to suppress lazarettos, but tho ' Governors aro in many instances powerless to carry out tho ordors. The press calls upon the Government and higher classes to combine in their efforts to alleviate the national calamity. Tho Ring and Queen have sent large donations to Saragossa and Granada. Tho epidemic is visiting all the fashionable soasido re sorts. At each place visited a panic ensues, and the placo is deserted in forty-eight hours. Tho total number of deaths from cholera in Spain sinco tho outbreak of tho disease has boon 72,347 out of a total of 187,505 cases. Tho Cholera in Franco. Paris, August 4.—The oxistonco of cholera in Marseilles is now officially ad mitted. Horror prevails over the prospect : of a repetition ot last year's oxperience. Tho casos of cholera have afo mostly among tho poor classes. Tho Portuguese Consul has succumbed to tho disease. Minister Logrando and Dr. Bronardol havo arrived hero to orgnnieo a system of sanita tion. The municipal authorities havo conferred with the foreign Consuls hero ro- ' specting tho establishment of quarantine. • The local doctors are not yet agreed as to what placo Marseilles may thank for tho ro- i turn of tho plague. Somo think it was im- ! ported from Tonquin. I United States Consul Mason, at Mar seilles, in a cablegram to tho Secretary of State to-day says the cholera in that place • is Asiatic and very fatal. Tho deaths num ber forty daily and the disease is spreading to tho interior. Mabseilles, August 23.—Thoro was a marked docreaso injthe cholera mortality for the last twenty-four hours, only twenty-six deaths being roported in tho Pharo Hos- : pital. Eight patients died, 1G were ad- . mitted, G were discharged cured, and 88 re mained under treatment. The cholera is assuming a form which the doctors are unable to copo with.
