The London Post, of Aw?. 4th, says: "The lanpuatre which Mr. Disraeli put mto the mouth t his Sovereign when proroguing Parliament dispelB all doubt us to the line wh'ch will be taken by that minister and his supporters at the forthcoming elections. The cry will bo not merely 'Tbe Church is in dmi?pr,' but 'Civil and relleious liberty are in danger.' In other words, Mr. Diraell will solicit the support of the new as well as ot the old consliiueuey on the faith of the assurance that if the policy of the leader of the Liberal purty Is persisted In, all that an Eupllshinau holds dear will be in evitably EacrittL-ed. As a piece ot electioneer ing tactics most pon-ons feel inclined to con demn, as unworthv of Mr. Disraeli's astuteness and ability, so barefaced aD attempt, and even those who mi'tht other wise be predisposed to endorse the policy of the conservative chieftain will find themselves compelled to condemn a minister who has for a tecoud lime in tbe course of a few months during which he has occupied the post of First Lord of the Treasury, placed his sovereign in the van of the battle, and sought to concentrate upon her the odium which he knew would not tail to be excited by bis doubtful tactics. Too public have tot forgotten the account which the Prime Minister kuvc of his famous interview with her Majesty at Osborne alter tbe deleatof tbe Governaent in the Uiso of Commons on Mr, Gladstone's Irish Church resolutions. Kc,o el Jitx w.fws' was ac irately if not deliberately paraphrased, while at t'no same time Mr. Disraeli, by offering two courses for her majesty's adoption, sought to throw upon her the responsibility of baviug reta'ted her then advisers in her confidence. What really passed at thit celebrated interview "will probably never be accurately known. Mr. Disraeli told the House of Commons that her Jlajesty had empowered him to dissolve Parlia ment, und that he would do so as soon as tne necci-fary business of the Ecsion would be dis posed of. But he did not say what course he would pursue in the event of any obstacle being thrown in the way of completing the very con siderable mass of business which then remained to be disposed of. He did not say what he would do if supplies were stopped, or if the Irish or Fcotch Keform bills were not pasted. In the Houte of Lords tbe Duke ot Kicbraond was more explicit, and quietly stated that it de fended on Parliament whether the old or tbe new constituency was appealed to. Meanwhile das parsed Into weeks, and the end of the Ef ts on approached. The buttle of the Irish Church was foueht over and over asain in the House of Commons, aud the materials gathered on which the Government were to base their nppeal to tbe country. Ihe speeches made from tbe Treisury bench were addressed rather to the country than to the House of Commons, and now, at the prorogation, toat spirit which in spired them has once more made uself manifest iu the speech from tho throne." Vhi Great Reform Experiment. Tbe London Telegrophol Aug i says: "The country is about to make a great exrieriraeut. The effect ot the reform legislation or tbe last tvo sessions Is to chaatre the constituencies of the United Kingdom and to put tbe supreme governing power into new bauds; and, although the exteut of the change is at present very much a matter of conjecture, enough is known to sTamp the political revolution as greater than any which tbe present generation has witnessed. The Kulorm act ot 1832 was essentially a mea sure ot middle-class enirnnchisemcnt. It created, for the nrst time, a unilarm property qualitieutiou in borough!), and gave a predomi nating power to the teu pound householders that iH, to a section ot the population interme diate between ihe highest and the lowest in the eodal scale. That iu itself was a vast amendment, but it was by no menus a return to the most ancient democratic constitution of Eugland. It is now clear beyond dispute that in the earliest acres of Parliamentary Government the suffrage was founded on the widest possible basis. Until tbe reign of Henry VI, when the forty shilling freehold qualification was introduced In counties, we do not find the slightest trace of any restriction of household suffrage in eitbr town or country. For several reasons we may conclude that for the present tbe extension ot the fran chise will be less than was generally anticipated within the first year. We have only just created a new aud complicated machinery, aud a con siderable time is required to get it into full operation. It is therefore true only in a limited sense that tbe appeal is about to be made to the new Constituencies. Even it the cumbrous pro cesses ot tbe Keform act should not be simplitied and amended berealter -even if the law next year should be just the s.vno a it is now it is certain that another registration will be nore productive than that which is now impending. Men will be more familiar with their rights, will understand better how to as-crt them, and organizations of various kinds will be invented to assist tbem in enrolling their names. We really know very little about the constituencies. Their number and character can ba but vaguely puefged. Is the residuum excluded iu boroughs? Will the great clacs of twelve pound home holders In counties be independent or subject to territorial inllueuce? These aud many otlier essential fuels of the problem which is to be worked out at tbe nevt general election are at present unkuown quantities, liut, after all, tbe Ignorance is a matter of degree only. We are certain that the constituencies are made larger, tho Jgh how much larger we cannot telL We see distinctly that the governed and governing classes are brought nearer together, though how much nearer is as yet conjectural. About the tendency and direction of the late reform there is no uncertainty whatever. It has ren dered the constitution more iu unison with the general body of the community that is to say, rulers and statesmen now become more directly subject to the observation, criticism, and con trol of tbe people. As a necessary conequeuce political leaders of all shades of opinion will henceforth be compelled to be more distinct lu their policy aud more emphatic in their utter ances. The actors in tbe political theatre will have to speak in the clearer language and to t illow up their professions with the more em phatic aud prictija! action required by the increased numbers and the awakened intelli gence of the nation." Citizen Duty. Tbe Liverpool Mercury of August 3 says: 'Mr. Disraeli lately insulted tbe understandings aud outraged the consciences of his countrymen hy declaring that 'the state of Ireland is one that ought to afford us the utmost congratula tion' For aught we can tell there may be minds of 'over-refinement and over-educatlou' that may not be revolted by this insolent paradox; but the plain common sense of tuu common run of Englishmen with beads on tlitir fcLoulUcrs will lndignuntly reject and resist the shameless 2c' lot). Ireland Is in a itate that oupht to i-ause us tbe deepest anxiety, the most painful sclf-rcprovcb, '.nd the most eager solicitude to redrew all gnevances which are capable ot. redress Irelan 1 is at this mo ment the v, calmest and the danger of the British enrpire, aod the very first object with every Eogllsataan not wholly devoid of political prudenco will be to remove every re rroT'able source of Irish discontent and d is (iff je tton. We have confidence in tbe sense of Justice and fairness which animates the masses of our countrymen; we have confidence in their politi cal common sense, and thereioro we believe that they will pronounce au equitable and rational verdict on tbe great question wh'ch will shortly be decided by their suffrages. English men can understand the duty of doing to others as they would that others should do to them; they cau also understand that a divided cuiplro is weak and a united empire strong, and to un derstand these two things is to understand the Irish Church question. We have faith in our countrymen, and in tho language of last Friday's rojal speech, we "look with entire confidence to their proving themselves worthy of the bisrh privilege with which they have been invested." Qeeral News. A great fire had occurred Aug. 2 at the Friars Gooto Chemical Works at Newoastle-oa Tyue. lb loss was estimated at 70,000.

C. B. and G. C. IL, Gov ernor of Chelsea Ho-pital. The late veteran ! leici-aiarstiri was tuo tourth son ot Colonel Blakeney, of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, who repre sented Atbcnry in the Irish House of Commons. He was born in the early part of 1778. and had consequently reached the age of ninety. The aped Field-Marshal commenced his protesslonal caieer as cornet in the Eighth Liabt Dragoons, in February, 1704, and in December ol that year he obtained hiscorapauy. The deceased saw a great deal of service. FRANCE. Preparations for tUe Election. Tbe Paris Presse of Aiicnst 3. savs: 'The independent press will be unanimous iu do mandinur the most complete explanations as to these facts; lor the question is one of extreme gravity. The point at issue, iu fact, is not to know whether citizens will be able to exercise the new right conferred on them by the law lately voted, but whether a backward step has not been taken since tbe passing of that mea sure. What guarsntaes have the people that they will be able to bold public meetings and call electoral ones, if they cannot even have those private assemblies, ou personal invitation, which were the common right before the new act, as M. Rouher has recognized and tho Su preme court Das affirmed by its decrees? The Erlvilcee which wo possessed was not trifliug; ut it force and violence cau deprive us of it, what use can po-sibly be male of the new ones with which tbe law invests us? if. in the midst ol an election, private meetings are dissolved by tbe oavouet, what Prelect will reluse himself the satislaction of interdicting a public one?" The vpintone iaaonaie, ot pans, Aug. 3 says: "Let us establish tho point ot law. Article eipbt, which declares that electoral meetings cannot tuke place during the rive days precediug tne ballot, applies only to public assemblies. As in tbe preeeLt case persons were only admitted on presenting a curd or letter ot invitation, the meeting was a private one, and the Commissary of Pol ce had no right to be present, and the armed lorco committed t. violation of donlcile. If tb;it doctrine is doubted, relerence has only to be made to a decree of the Court of Cassation, Criminal Chamber, of the 4'.h of February, 1805. That body declared that what characterizes es sentially a public meeting was the liberty ot ad mission permitted to all comers. Such was not the case in tbe present instance, as the invita tions were pereoual. and tbe Central Commisary could only penetrate into M. Breton's house by surprise, or bv force with tbe aid of his azents. Tbe totality ol these facts, th.-refore, constitutes a double violation of Individual liberty and privacy of domicile, as well as au electoial manoeuvre. " La France, of Paris (Government orgauV August 3, says: "ltesitanccoatside the law is always to be regretted, and we may usefully recall to tbe mind of our readers tho principle wlncn has entered so deeply into Unp.Ush hnbits and which lays down the rule that no mistance may be given in an illegal manner to steps the legality of which even is contested. Has the Prelect of tho Garde, in directing the dispersion of the electors assembled at Niuics, in the bouse of M. Breton, conformed to the prescriptions of the law? That is a point which will bo decided by the competent authority, and the questiou really merits all atteution Iu pre secce of an election, for tbe point to be deter mined is tho preclte lite of demarcation be tween a private and a public meeting." Ntpolioa and the General Klecttoa. The London Times of August 3 says: It is impossible not to perceive that the Imperial Government ot France looks forward with as much uneasiness as our own to the forthcoming Parliamentary elections, though, happily, for very different reasons. There is, as we bjlieve, much ground for regret that the Emperor Na poleon should be anxious to Identify bis policy with his dynasty that be should obstinately insist on confounding what, by the nature of thiDgs, must needs be perpetually changeable with that which be naturally wishes to be, and which ought in reality to be, absolutely immu table. To whatever causes tbe votes of 1818 end 1851 may have b eu owing, they oueht to be looked upou as irievocable. The Imperial Government derogates from its dignity when it allows itself auy allusion to what are called the 'Old Parties.' ltepubVcanlsin, liour bonism, and Oileamsm cannot be di rectly rr indirectly recognized; they cannot be looked upon as lawful opposition; they should never be addressed or mentioned as such. The Uriflamme or tbe Red flag could only be brought back into France by a violent revolution, and a revolutionist, till bo is successful, must always be dealt with as a public enemy. The Emperor Napoleon, however, cannot overlook tho fact tbat not only do anti-Imperialist parties actually exist, but that, so long as they keep within tbe law, they have a ricbt to exist; tbat, so long as they accept the Empire as ait accomplished fact, they are entitled to oppose Imperialism by all the means which its own institutions place at their disposal; that opposition to the Imperial Government may not only be perfectly consis tent with alleeiance to the Empire, but may also lie th best and only means of providing for the Empire's safety. It is hard to say what ground there may bo for the rumor tbat the Imperial Government contemplated a lit le coup d'etat In the sbspe of an arb trury modification of the Electoral law; but there can be no doubt that the .'so-called authorities' are prepared to take a more active share than they ever did in tbe impending elections on the grouad that "the Government is a party in the State, and that it is its right, no less than its duty, to fight its own battles by all tho weapons that power places In its hands, and with as thorough and uncompromising an energy as may be displayed by any other party.' Burely there is some con fusion of language in all this. Whatever may be said ot tne Imperial Government, tho Em peror himself takes good care to place h mself above all parties. So long as his presence at the bead of aflalrs auswers any of tbe designs of j'rovideuce, nis lire, ne says, is sure to be snared: and were Le even to fall, the French people would not fail, in tbe interest of public order, to perpetuate tue uovcreiga power in bis family. The Imperial Dynasty is, there fore, placed above discussion, and the only ques tie n is whether or not popular elections or Par liamentary discussions are to be allowed to lnflaence fairly the Imperial policy. Tuero would b3 little objection to letting the Adminis tration canvass for the Imperial Government, if they did not too pointedly a Beet the canvass for the Emperor. The Emperor cannot keeo a Cabinet, and be bis own Minister, wl bout de claring the Constitution a pretense, and giving his Government tbat personal character which deprives the Opposition ef all legal utterance, leaves it no room for discrimination betweeu the Sovereign and bis rub', and )usti9es It in any leogth of violent hostility against both." Vb Nw Imparl! 1 Loam Amouat and Coadltlo of ha Mubscrlptloas. The Paris iloniteur of August 3 promulgates the bill on this subject lately adopted by the Chamber, and at tbe same time publishes au imperial oecieo authorizing M. Magoe, Minister of Finance, to proceed by public suoscrlpttoa to tbe alicna ion of such an a'nount of 3 per e n, rtnte as wilt pro luce a capital of 429 uiUliom of francs and a supplementary sum wh eh cantiot ex ;eed 21,600.0001., in conformity with the bill in questiou, the said rente to be issued at 69f. 25c, with interest reckoning from July 1, 1808. A decision of the Hou. Minister follows, laying down the conditions on which the operatiou is to be effected. The following are the esentUI points: The subscription will bo opened on Thursday next, the 6th of August, and cmtinue to tbe 13th, inclusively, Buuday comprised, from nine in the morning to three in the aiternoon, aud on the last day until five, at the following places: In Paiis. at the Treasury ; Central Pay Office, 6 rue Louis-legraud: Calsse des De;io's et Consiunafions, 60 rue de Lille; Hotel de Ville and Mairics of the twenty arro jdiseraens, aud in the departments at tbe offices of Receivers of Taxes. No subscription will be received for a smaller sum than five francs of rente; above that amount it must be for ten Irancs and mulrip.es of ten francs. A deposit equal to the yearly in terest ol the sum applied for must be mtde at the moment of subsrribinor, and for which a re ceipt with counterloil will be given; thus tor five fraucs of rente the sum to be paid will be five francs, and so on. Should the. total' subscrip tions exceed the sum of 420,000 OOOf. and the supplement of 21 600,0001. flxed by the lav, a proportionate red uctiou will be nule, exc-ipt tbe application for five fraucs of rente, which will be gran'ed in full. Tne piymeat of the capital will be effected as follows: One-tenth, including the provisionsl deposit, on the ex change cf tie receipt delivered on subscribing lor the certificate of loan; the remainder iu eighteen monthly instalments payable ou the 2lst of each month, Iron the 21st ot h-eptember, 18t8, to the 2lst of February, 1870. The dividends of the 1st of O :tober, 1808, 1st ol January, 1st of April, lt of July and 1st of October, 18G9; and 1st of Janu ary, 1870, will be deducted from the instalment ol the 21st of the preceding month. Payments in advauce, at the moment of subscribing, will only be received on demands for five Irancs of rente, which are not subject to redaction"; a discount of two percent, per annum will then be allowed from the date of the closing of the subscription; a'tcr the allotment, anticipated payments of one or more Instalments will be permitted only on certificates of less than lOOf. of rente, and the same deluetim of two per cent, will bo accorded. The discounting of tbe calls on scrip of lOOf. rente and upvardacan only be authorized by a decree of the Mmls'.er ot Finance inserted in tbe Moniieur. SERVIA. Execution of tba Conspirator Tha Last Act of tba Btrvlaa Tragedy. The Belgrade Rfnter's correspondence of J oily 18 says: "The conclusion ot the trial of the assassins of Piinco Michael has beeu speedily followed by the execution of the condemned. Seutecce was prouounced yesterday, and this morning at G o'clock tho prisoners were exe cuted. With the exception of Joe Jeremiah, who was sentenced to live rears' imprisonment, aud against w hom no proof of complicity in the assassination was discovered at the trial, all thd other accused persons who had been arrested, to the number of fourteen, were condemned 1 1 death. Prince Alexander Karngeorgewich and bis becretary, Triscjvich, and Philip Stanko vich, wbo had not been captured, wire sentenced in default to twenty years' imprisonment. At 6'30 the condemned man left the fortress and pro ceeded to tho place of execution, which was in a valley about two miles from the to wn, on the shore ot tbe Danube. In order to avoid a larsre croud a report had been circulated tbat the execution would take place in the evening a', 6 o'clock, whereas it was in tbe morning that the actual tragedy occurred. Nevertheless, even at tbat early hour an immense number of persons were assembled, who occupied the heights surrounding "The Black Valley,' as the place ot execution is called. In the valley itself a long freshly-dug treuch was to be seen, along the edge ol which !ouiteen posts were erected. A large body of trrops who were present kept the crowd at a distance, and formed square along tbe bauk of tbe Dauube. Precisely at 6 o'clock seven closed carriages arrived from t le fortress of Belgrade, oat of which the con demned men stepped, and were conducted by gendarmes-in front of tbe posts. They were not ironed, end al oithein preserved a sereDe, almost cheerful demeanor. The sentence of the court was first read out to them, during which the prisoner smoked. At the couclusiou of the reading Costa RadovauowIUch and bis two brothers beeped permission to be allowed to ap proach their brother Paul. This being granted, thetbiee bro'bers advanced to him and kissel bis band, be responding in this act of affection by a fervent kiss upon the lips and forehead of cochofthem. Then commenced the ptniotvng of the condemned. Their eyes were bandaged and their bands bound behind their backs, while they were fastened to the posts by ropes round their necks, xney stoon luiue 10. lowing order: 1, Petkowltscb; 2, Vilotigewltcb; 3, Atankowitsch; 4, Jekowilsch; 5, Petrowitscb; 6.

Fjut geudaraies then advanced wi'h breech-loaders to witniu six paces of the posts, aud fired upon tbefkst prisoner in the row (Petkovl 83b), wbo died instantly. Tbe body w.s then detached from tbe post, and laid in the trench, and the same course of procedure was pursued toward nil tbe rest, wbo were each shot separately. At the execution of Nenadowitsch a sad catastrophe happened. One ot the bullets aimed at the con demned struck the post to which be was fast ened, and, glancing off, entered the eye of an officer Lieutenant Ua II Miatowitsch, who was commanding a compauy of soldiers on the ground, killing him instantly. The extraordi nary calmness with which tbe condemned men met their fate has been a niatW of general remark. Si ma Nenadowitsch continued sniok iDg till after his neighbor was dead. Within a quarter of au hour tbe tiascdy was over, and t tie bodies laid in 'be trencn, which was at once tilled up and levelled with the earth."

Tho speeches of General Forrest and the leaders of Geueral Pike, threa'.ening every white Bepublican with assassination, havo been pre sented in these columns. General E. W. ttuoker, late of the Kebel army, in a public speech to tho Young Men's Independent Democratic Club last evening, announced the bloody organization and intent of tbe Kebels still more explicitly and clearly. We have the reports of his speech as piven by the Kebel inoruing paper, so that it cannot be said that we exaggerate anything. Tbe Apptat says: "Gen. Rucker made a very sensible, business talk, and said some things which struck the nail on tbe head exactly. He warned the In famous scoundrels iu our midst who arc striving to excite and stir up the evil passions of tho isrnorant masses and array the neeroes auJ whites in deadly hostility to each oiher, Inau gurating a carnival of blood and horror he warned them that a watch was upon them and their houses. Hot an action or a word escapes a sleepless eye one set to preserve the peace if possible but if it is brokeu, to avenge every drop of blood that is spilled upon their worth less carcasses. They hsd better heed the warning." The Avalanche reports him as soeaklng as follows: ''It seemed to be the determination to precipitate a revolution iu Teuncssee. There is every indication of it; and there was nothing which promised anything else. If it be tbe de termination to precipitate a revolution in our midst, what is our duty ? It we kick up a war, it will be called by thd old name of Beoellion. Submit to everything ? The more vou submit, the more they will crowd you. You couldn't dodge it. It will be sure to come. When the time comes, and you can submit no longer, your duty will be plain. The white leaders poiBon the minds of the negroes, who, I am informed, are drilled every night. This means mischief. It is enough to startle you and make you think. Don't blame the negro. Give him every right. 1 have never been a slaveholder, and always believed our country would have been bet'er off without slavery, aud was a sort of emancipationist. But there are men inciting tbe negroes in this city to disorder and trouble; expect to get him into difficulty, and then run oi to stir up strife In the North. These men teach to negroes incen diary acts, and expect to run off. They shall not cet away. I am no Ku-Klux do not know anything about them: but it to respect the Con stitution and to sees: tho enforcement of the laws, as old John Bell advised, and to vote for Seymour and Blair meant a Ku-Klux, he was not aver-e to being considered one. He propoicd nothing to disturb the peaceful elements of so ciety. He desired that they should endure while men could endure. They had a great stake to play for, and must exeicise all tbe patience of firm resolute men. But of one thing they should be resolved, that the inciters of sedition, tie stimulators of all tbe bad passions of the ienorant masses, whom they cunningly mani pulate, shall not succeed in accomplishing their devilish work, and get out of town. Of this they may be as well assured as that the sua rises and sets." FINANCE AND COMMERCE. Ohici or tjbb Kvknino Tklesbapb,!

Tbe oou- rous attached are all signed by tlia Controller, and be bonds themselves counters gned by the Secretary of State, who attaches to them the great seal of tha Mate, It is, therefore utterly ab.u d lo suppose that bonds are In circulation not properly signed and reentered, lndce", they could not be wlthoat foiglcgthe Controller's sigua'ure to each bond from 40 loCO times, according to the time they mtty hve lo ran.
