Gladstone’* Kevl^mi lion. 
The circumstances of Mr. Gladstone’s resig¬ 
nation of the leadership of the English Liberal 
party are these: — The question of going into 
Committee of the Whole on the Reform Bill 
being before the House of Commons, the Lib¬ 
erals introduced an amendment that the Com¬ 
mittee at the same time take up the law of 
rating property holders, upon which, by the 
proposed bill, the franchise is based, and adopt 
a standard above which every rate-payer shall 
vote, the object being a still further extension 
of the franchise. A fraction of their party, 
numbering 48, refused to vote for this amend¬ 
ment, and it was withdrawn, greatly to the dis¬ 
gust of the great body of the Liberals In the 
House. The severe criticism of Mr. Gladstone 
that followed this, induced his resignation. 
He is a man of noble qualities ami generous 
culture, but the habits and feelings of his aristo¬ 
cratic education, for the hour, overcame his 
sympathy with popular rights, and thus the 
sturdy Commoner, John Bright, steps natu¬ 
rally into the place of the great leader in the 
elevation and enfranchisement of the English 
people.

large to warrant the Committee in commencing ; 
the work, and they will shortly be prepared ] 
to receive plans and specifications for such a , 
monument, from the artists of the country at ■ 
large. The ample resources of this fund should « 
secure a work which shall stand not alone as u , 
memorial of the illustrious man, sleeping in its 
shadow, but also as a crowning work of American . 
arl, worthy to go down to the ages. 
Travel to Europe. —The travel to Europe ) 
from the United States, to visit the Great Expo- j 
sition, is far less tliau was expected three months , 
ago, The Great Eastern lias been withdrawn, ( 
after sinking several thousand dollars in one ( 
trip. Other vessels which were chartered have 
also been withdrawn on account of insufficient 
passengers. The truth is, the Great Exposition ] 
was a sensation before it was opened, but it is * 
not destined to draw as it was expected it would. 1 
We think it is fortunate that Americans have 1 
determined to remain at home.

One of the craters on the surface of the moon 
situated on the eastern part of the Mare Sercni, 
tatis, has vanished. The hypothesis is that it

which indicated that there was a crater there. 
This shows that the surface of the moon is un¬ 
dergoing alterations.

The pendulum experiments connected with 
the great trigonometrical survey in India have 
shown that, contrary to previous theory, gravi¬ 
tation is less powerful as we approach the Hima¬ 
laya Mountains; corroborating the Astronomer 
Royal’s opinion that the strata below the moun¬ 
tains are less dense than those beneath the de¬ 
pressed portions of the surface. Nothing could 
be more probable than that the upheaved por¬ 
tions of the coast should be the weakest. 
Farmers .and Book Agents. — Attention is 
directed to an advertisement in another column 
addressed to Book Agents. We have examined 
the Farmer’s Journal and do not hesitate to pro¬ 
nounce it Just the tiling for every fanner. Its 
simplicity and completeness does away with all 
the objections and difficulties which farmers 
find in keeping accounts, and by the use of this 
book they may save many times its price every 
year. We learn from the publisher that it meets 
with a ready sale. This is as it should be. 
The Mason and Hamlin Cabinet Organs.— 
The extraordinaiy success of Messrs. Mason & 
Hamlin in introducing the Cabinet Organ is 
based, without doubt, on the excellence of the 
instrument. They are not content, however, 
with what they have already accomplished, and 
with the bushels of testimonials and pecks of 
medals which they have received, but are con¬ 
stantly investigating what inventors consider 
improvements, and purchasing and using them 
if they arc found of value .—Bwton Advertiser.
