GLADSTONE AND PARNELL.

MR W. E. GLADSTONE MOBBED.

"The Parnolllte Faction" of Fifty Yeara Ago,

The following interesting record of an election contest that took place fifty years ago between Mr John Gladstone (Conserva tive) and Sir Henry Parnell (Liberal) is from the "Dundee Chronicle " of the 12th August, 1837, and reads very curiously when viewed in connection with the Glad stone—-Parnell alliance of to-day :—

Dundee Election.

The nomination of candidates took place in front, of the Town House on Friday last. Mr Edward Baxter nominated, and ex- Bailie Symon seconded, Sir Henry Pamell; Mr J. H. Anderson nominated, and Mr Criohton, shipowner, seconded John (jlad stone, Esq. Sir Henry and Mr Gladstone then addressed the meeting. The mob in front of the hustings was riotous and dis orderly ; not one word could be heard either from Mr Gladstone or his friends. Showers of stones, sticks, and pieces of lead were thrown at the Conservatives on the hustings ; several of the flags of Mr Glad atone were demolished by force, by a Popish and infidel crow, hired by the Parnellite faction; in short, everything that was low, mean, and degrading, was resorted to by the pay-master's band. The polling commenced on Tuesday morning at eight o'clock. Sir Henry's friends mustered early at the poll, so that by nine o'clock they had amajorityof6s,whichcompletelydarapedand paralysed the efforts of the other party, and Sir Henry's majority augmented greatly each hour. At the close of the poll there had voted for—Sir H. Parnell, 663 ; Mr J. Gladstone, 381; majority for Sir H. Par nell, 282. The success of Sir Henry Par nell may be accounted lor by the open and gross intimidation used by his friends and supporters to the lower class of voters who were pledged to Mr Gladstone. The Con servatives had likewise to encounter the most unscrupulous use of the influence of the Burgh Corporation. The tenants of •the town, and those in any way under their influence, were forced to support Sir Henry or lie under their displeasure. Several traders within the ancient royalty were : threatened with being obliged to pay their freedom to the burgh unless they supported Sir Henry. The more respectable of Sir Henry's supporters in numberless cases most shamefully threatened Mr Gladstone's supporters with the loss of trade, and the mos6 determined opposition from the Whig Radicals in the way of business. The lower rabble of Radical weavers, heckers, and operatives were most assiduous in their old vacation of threatening the more dependent class of electors, such as grocers, publicans, shoemakers, &c, with the loss of custom, and in many an instance with personal violence, unless they supported the pledge-breaking Radical candidate. These causes, combined with others equally bad or worse, were the means of causing not a few who had either signed the requisition to Mr Gladstone, or were expressly pledged to his support to vote against him, and kept back still more of his pledged voters from going to the poll. So great was the violence of the lower classes, that Mr Gljidatone and his friends were repeatedly abused and sur rounded by the mob, and obliged to call in the police for protection. In particular Mr Gladstone's son, Mr W. E. Gladstone, M.P. for Newark, on one occasion in the Hilltown, had sto^s thrown at him, and was pelted with mud, although he fortunately escaped bodilyinjury. During the greater part of the day of nomination, and the whole of the day of polling, Sir H. Parnell'3 party had hired bands olmusic, and mobs of worthless fellows, parading the streets with flags and banners in great crowds, iir order Co frighten the friends of .Mr Gladstone from; tWSischlrge' of their dtftjh Th% Agents of Sir H. Parnell were also extensively ( en gaged in plying hundreds of ignorant arid ill-formed electors, especially the feuars, (who chiefly consist of gardeners, weavers, hecklers, sailors, carters, tt hoc yenm omne) with ardent spirits ; and, when conscience was overpowered by intemperance, they made them pledge to vote for Parnell, the Reformer of the Excise Laws! By such dis graceful means has the Paymaster of the Forces, and the rejected of Queen's County, secured his election for Dundee. But what shall we say of the Churchmen of Dundee 1 Bub what shall we say in behalf of the Church of Scotland clergy who were regis tered, and yeb refused to vote for Mr Glad stone, the friend of the Church and School Extension,.who has built two churches, and many schools for the benefit of the poor ? What shall we say of the Rev. :,

who canvassed electors in favour of Sir H. Parnell, the supporter of Maynooth College, of the Irish Education Scheme, and" of the Appropriation Clause, and who opposed an endowment to our new churches ? What shall we say of the forty or fifty elders of the Church of Scotland in Dundee, who openly and zealously sup ported the Whig-Popish candidate, and one of whom after burying his eldest daughter on the Friday, was busily can vassing on the Saturday and Monday for one who would uproot that church of which he is an office-bearer ? In fine, what words can express the folly of the majority of Sir Henry's voters, who, being professed friends and members of the National Church, have sent to Parliament one of its bitterest foes ? If they "who came not to the help of the Lord against the mighty are to be visited with the curse of Meroz," what must be the guilt and punishment of those Protestant electors who exercised their franchise against the moral and spiri tual welfare of the nation ?■•■■■ &

A FAMOUS ROCK.

The frwent Condition of Gibraltar.

Though Gibraltar lias not been subjected to the attacks of' vessels of war of the pre sent day, still it has withstood a siege be fore which no other fortress in the world epuld. have held out against. Since that famous siege of the last century everything has been done to make the place, humanly speaking, impregnable.

The "rock" itself is nob more than Beven miles in circumference, and its elevation above the sea, at the highest point, does nob exceed 1,400 feet. The town is situated on the western elope, for oh all: other sides the ascent is very precipitous. The isthmus which connects Gibraltar with the mainland is a little more than a mile wide, and it is on this isthmus that the famous neutral ground is marked off by the two parallel rows of Knglish and Spanish sentry-boxes. Apart from the position of the " rock " it is greatly strengthened by the presence of remark able natural caverns with which it is pre forated. These caverns are all difficult of access. The largest, St. Michaels, has a hall hung with stalactites reaching from roof to Boor. Its entrance is 1,000 feet above the level of the sea, and is con nected with other caverns beneath it of unknown depth. No doubt the presence of theae natural caverns suggested the idea to the British of excavating and tun nelling the "rock." A series of galleries have been cut facing the harbour and neutral ground at an enormous expense. Much of this work was carried on by prisoners. At intervals of twelve yards ports have been cut for guns, and some of b n e ordnance modnted is of- very heavy .calibre, 'The guileries are fcunijelled in tiers and several extend fe> a d^nce of fcwo'or three miles, being wide enough to i ' admit of the ox-carts of the fort. On the western- slope there are many level spots, but the "flats" of Gibraltar are near the top of the " rock." M\* here tbab the in fantry is drilled arfd^rcised. The gam.

son .consists of nearly 5,000 men, and it has always been the custom at the "Horse Guar\ is," in London, to send out a great many Highlanders to Gibraltar, though they d o not coanpose the whole force. This o-arrist)n is on& °£ hardest drilled in the British service, and the men are usually the pick of, the army. The feeling of pride will allow opily the flower of the British troops to hold Gibraltar. Report has it that Gen eral Grant considered this garrison the finest' body of men of any he saw during his tour 'v around the world." Theveaaea great number of Moors and Jews I'xere beside the English, and not a few Spauiarcls. All foreigners visiting the town are required to take out a permit: de sejow, and must find bondsmen to go security lor their good behaviour during the ten, fifteen or twenty days for which the permit is made out. However, this stay may be renewed after the expiration of the time limit. The authorities prevent as much as possible any acquisition in the way of new residents. This is to the town only. Inside tiHe limits of the barracks no strangers are admitted after nightfall. The officers, however, may introduce a friend for a perio.'i of a month, but are held in strict account ibr all his actions. Justice is administered according to the laws of England, bub the^e is a prevailing spit-it of the millitary court-martial in all the proceedings of the court. The air militair is inculcated in alt pertaining to the " rock," and is move than an apparent seeming. ' The majority of the» houses in the town are built with flattops, which enable the inhabitants to secure a considerable amount of rain water. Tanks are built under the buildings and are fitted with drains leading from the roofs. It is the water supply which fcas always proved of vital importance to Gibraltar, bub tho authorities have finally mastered the ques tion, and the "rock" is now well pro vided with good water. Two large tanks, one containing 9,000 and the other 11,000 gallons, are kept constantly full with which to supply naval vessels. Gibraltar stands to-day the key to the Mediterranean, and is the centre of that line of fortresses which connects Great Britain with those enormous fields of wealth in the East Indies. The strategic importance of this position was ob served 'by the Saracens as far back as 711 A. d.. who under a leader named Lorik fen Leyad landed and fortified the place in that year. During n period of 700 years from its first acquisition by the Saracens, Gibraltar was held either by Moors oi* Saracens, and was a constant cause of war between these two races. In 1462 a Spanish force under the Duke Medina Sidonia wrested the fortress from the Moors, and so strengthened it as to be considered impregnable. But in 1704 the combined English and Dutch fleets, under Sir George Rooke and the Prince of Hesse- Darmstadt, took the "rock" from the Spaniards and held it until 1713, when it was confirmed to Great Britain by the treaty of Utrecht. The Spauiards would not let Gibraltar go without another struggle, and attacked the garrison in 1727 ; but a cessation of hostilities soon came about on the signing of preliminaries of peace befcweer. Spain and England. The noted siege which lasted from 1779 to 1783 marks one of the greatest annals in British military hiscory, and never did troops win greater renown than the famous garrison that held Gibraltar against the combined forces of France and Spain. All the implements of modern warfare were used by tho besiegers, but. the "rock" proved impregnable. Captain Drinkwater, of the British army, is authority for stating that 1,000 guns were brought to bear by the allies, and that in the outer harbour were anchored forty-seven ships of the line, carry ing the ensigns of France and Spain. The stubbornness of tho defenders was 'wonderful, fightings as they wore, against suoli odefei j but in the orid l&Tbroughb vic tory to t'ho British standards and immor talised Elliot and his men.

British troops may never again be called upon to hold Gibraltar as they did in 1780, but tho garrison of to-day is ever prepared to defend the famous " rock " againat the armies and fleets of the world.

The Capture of Gwalior, 1780.

In the current number of "Colburn's United Service Magazine" Captain E. O'Callaghan gives the following account of this undertaking :—At the opening of the campaign of 1780 against the Mahrattas in Central India, a reinforcement of 2,400 Bengal sepoys, sent to supply casualties in the regiments serving with General God dard in the Bombay Presidency, was di verted from its original destination and was detached to the assistance of the Rana of Gohud, whose country was overrun by Sindia's Mahrattas. A company of Bengal Artillery (Europeans) with some guns, and a small party ot cavalry, were sent with the sepoys ; and the command was given to Captain William Popham, an officer whose subsequent achievements showed that he had been wisely chosen. In February Popham crossed the Jumna, and dispersed a horde of Mah rattas, who were plundering near Gohud. He then marched, at the request of the Rana, against the strong fort of Lahar, 50 miles west of Kalpee. When he found himself unable, without siege guns, to make a practicable breach in the massive walls, he resolved to storm the place with out delay. In this he was completely suc cessful, on the 2lßt of February, after over coming a stubborn resistance, and with the loss of 125 in killed and wounded. After the capture of Lahar, Popham marched' towards the celebrated fortress of Gwalior, which was 50 miles to the west of Lahar, and 65 miles south of Agra. He encamped near: Owalior during the ' rains, and was occupied for more than two months in making careful inquires, as well as per sonal reconnaissance, with a view to cap turing the place, or at least attempting its capture. The precipitous hill which forms the site of the fortress of Gwalior presents a commanding position, which must have attracted attention from a very early period.; and the date of the first at tempt to fortify it is involved in uncertainty.! The rock is about a mile and a half in length from N.E. to S.W., and about 300 yards across. Its height is nearly uniform, rising slightly towards the north, where it is 340 ft. high. For the greatest path ofitscircum ference, it presents a lofty £ace, quite per oendicular and in some places even over hanging. At some parts, where the base offered slopes of easy ascent, it has been scarped so as to be practically inaccessible to ordinary assailants. The wall followed the irregular outline of the precipice, and was about 50ft. high. The only entrance was toward the north-east, where a steep road, changing to a broad flight of easy stone steps, gave access to the place through no less than seven successive gateways. The line of ascent was com manded by guns at many points, and was surmounted by a citadel of formidable aspect. The garrison of 1,000 men, though too few to man the whole extent of the walls, were strong enough to overpower any assailants, had they known when or where to expect them. Gwalior had been: taken by open force, by stratagem, or by treachery, at least 10 times since a.d. 1195 ; yet these captures seem to have been forgotten, for, like BhUrfcpors and many other in India, it had the reputation of being impregnable. Popham at last found a place where the base of the hill rose at an easy slope to the foot of the scarped rock, which Avas only 16ft high. From the top of the rock a steep ascent led to the foot of the wall. The preparations j for this daring escalade were completed on the 3rd of August, and at eleven at night the .storming party marched from their camp, under frhe command of Captain Wm.

Bruce (brother of the great African traveller), an officer" noted for his ability, courage, and decision." First came two companies of Bengal sepoys, and then 20 European artillerymen. Captain Popham followed with two battalions, to support the attack or -to cover the retreat of the stormers if they failed. Sbubbs informs us that the storming party wore woollen slippers padded with cotbon, to deaden the sounds of their movements. Marching by unfrequented paths, they passed the intervening distance of eight miles without being discovered, and reached the foot of the rock some time before day break on the 4th. Here they awaited till they heard the rounds pass and all oeemed queer, and when, with the usual negligence of Orientals, even the sentries slept. , heal ing ladders were applied to the scarped rock, and the men began to mount noiselessly. The steep ascent of 40 yards to the foot of the wall was crossed in safety, and then some spies, to whom the place was familiar, attached rope ladders to the top of the wall. By means of these Captain Bruce and 20 sepoys got over the wall, and sab down close to the parapet, awaiting the arrival of more men. The surprise would have been complete, and the fortress would have fallen without a struggle, but that three of the sepoys foolishly fired fib some of the garrison whom they saw asleep. A general alarm ensued, but the sepoys held their ground while more men mounted to support bhem. The gar rison, surprised and inbimidabed, made but a feeble resistance, and when the sun rose Gwalior had passed into the possession of the British with the trifling loss of 20 men wounded. Most of the garrison escaped, but pome were killed, including Bapojee, the Mahratta commandant. Gwalior was retained for ten months after its capture, and then it was restored to the Rana.of Gohud, from whom Sindia retook it by stratagem two years later. The fortress was again taken by tho British in February, 1804, but was restored to Sindia the fol lowing year. During the great mutiny Sindia's troops rebelled, and, being joined by a large number of the Bengal sepoys, drove their chief away and kept possession of the place till it was wa-ested irom them in 1858 by the Central India force under Sir Hugh Rose (Lord Strathuairn). It was re tained by the Indian Government till last year, when, by an act as politic as it was grateful, Gwalior was again restored to Sindia, in recognition of his fidelity during tho most critical period of our dominion.

AN EXPLOSION OF ROCKETS.

It Injures Forty Men on a British Mau-of War.

A srECUL from Halifax says: The British warship Bellerophon, carrying the flag of Admiral Lyon, and which was ordered to tho Newfoundland fishing waters, has ar rived here and placed in a hospital the men injuved by an explosion of vockets while in Quebec. The extent of this terrible acci dent was hushed up in Quebec. It hap pened under these circumstances: Go vernor-General Lansdowne and suit were at the old French capital, and on the evening of September 10th there was a grand enter tainment in Lansdowne's own honour on the flagship Bellerophon, which was gorgeously illuminated with electricity, oil lamps and fireworks, aiid presented the grandest sight ever witnessed at historical Quebec. At 9.30 o'clock, as Lord Lansdowne and party wero leaving; for the shore, some 600 men of the crew were on deck. The yards were manned, tho bands playing, and there was a grand finale of explosions. A pile of sixty or more of the most powerful rockets lay on the upper deck. One of them, on being lighted, instead1 of going up in the air, exploded on the deck, igniting a pile of sixty. The effect was tremendous. In a moment; the; death-dealing rockets vete sweeping the deck in every direction, burning and maiming the helpless men. The pieces were flying up into the rigging and yardß, and carrying havoc among the poor fellows stationed there, and the sticks wore tailing among the crowds on shore, and French warships Minerve and Clorinde and other vessels anchored in the harbour, j

The Quebec papers next morning an nounced that a midshipman and two men had been injured. The fact was that forty men had been more or less injured, thirteen of thorn, including Midshipman Doatney, so seriously that the Bellerophon had to leave Quebec, and instead of going to New foundland, as ordered, she came to Halifax bo place the men in the naval hospital. They are terribly burned and lacerated. Some have the fleshy parts of their thighs and legs blown oil, and others have the murcles of their arms torn.

An Old-Time Bonanza King.

Speaking of muniiicent hospitality, I am reminded of the famous Count de Regla— Senor Don Pedro Romero de Terreros—the old-time Mexican bonanza king. Until he happened to " strike it rich" in silver min ing, he was plain Peter Terreros, with an accent in his speech which spoke strongly of the Emerald isle. When by a fortunate accident he suddenly found himself too rich to compute his income he abandoned his humble skop and launched out into ex travagances which furnished his neighbours with more fables than Croesus ot old. I think it was in the year 1762 that he reached the height of his wonderful fortune, through the (Santa Brigada shaft of the Real del Monte mine. About this time his son, the last Count, was christened, and to fitly cele brate the event Don Pedro had the path be tween his house and the church (a consider able distance) paved with bars of solid silver, over which the party walked ."His worthy wife, whom rumour said had erst been seen contentedly laving the family linen, no>v waxed s,Ov aristocratic (that the earth could scarcely hold her. Wheh she first blossomed into the Countess de Terreros she proceeded to quarrel with and "cut" the vice Queen, who, as representative direct of Spanish royalty, had long received the ,abject homage of everything Mexican. Later, desiring to placate her Highness (or, perhaps, to humble her pride still farther), the Countess sent her a costly olive branch in the shape of a satin slipper, entirely covered withthemostmagnilicentdiamonds, its toe stuffed full of pearls and emeralds— a neat little bauble worth a million or so, with which to amuse a summer's morning. That same year the Count do Regla in vited the King of Spain to visit his Mexican possessions as his (the Count's) guest, and assured his Majesty by way of inducement that the feet of his Majesty and all his train, and even the hoofs of his horses, would tread upon nothing more base than ingots of solid silver all tne way from Vera Cruz Harbor to the City of Mexico (about 264" miles); that his Royal feet should not touch the ground during all 'his stay in the new world, but always precious metal; that every room in which he lodged should be roofed and walled with silver, and every dish and utensil used by himself and suite should be of purest gold. Whether the King looked upon this munificent offer as mere braggadocio, Ido not know; at any rate he did not come, but soon put the D 6 Regla wealth to proof by requesting the loan pi a few million pesos, which, it is needless to add, were never returned. The undaunted Count followed up his gift by causing to be built, at his own expense, in Havana, two ships of the line of largest ton' nage, all ■of the ( richest mahogany and cedar, which he presented to the sovereign. —City of MexicdOorr.

London. Dear Sir,— We embrace this opportunity of congratulating you upon the ■wlde-epread" reputation this/ justly- esteemed. medicine. Dr. J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyrie,has earned for itself, not only in Hindostan, but all over the East. As a remedy for Kcnoral utility, ■wo much question whether a better is imported into the country, and we shajl be glad to hear of its finding a place in every Anjriorindian home. The Other brands, we are happy to say, are now relegated to the native bazaars, and, judging from their sale, we fancy their sojourn' there will be evanescent. We could multiply in; stances ad inftwitnm of the extraordinary efficacy of Dr, Collis Browhe'B Chlorodyne % Diarrhoea, and Dysentery, Spasms, Cramps, Neuralgia, the Vomiting of Pregnancy, and as a genorafaeaative, that have occurred under our personal observation during many years. In Choleraic Diarrhoea, and even in the more terrible forms of Cholera itself, we have wit nessed its surprisingly controlling power. We have never used any other form of this* mcdi cine than Collis Browne's from a firm conviction that it is decidedly the beat.and also f roni asenae of duty we owe to the profession and the public, as we are of spinion that the substitution of any other than Collis Browne's is a n ember ate BRKACH OF FAITH ON THE PART OF THE CHEMIST TO, PKESCKIBE AND PATIENT ALIKE. —Wo are, Sir, faithfully yoiirs, Symes and Co., Members of the Pharm. Society of Great Britain, Hia Excellency the Viceroy'? Chemists. CAUTION.-yice-Chancellor Sir W. Page Wood stated that Dr. J. Collis Browne was, undoubtedly, the Inventor of Chlorodyne: that the story of the defendant Freeman was de liberately untrue, which, he regretted to say, had been sworn to.—See " The Times," July 13, 1864.
