From Clax'.on, Reuisen Sc IlafTelfiager we
have received The llighifal Heir, a drama
In. five acts, by Lord Lyttou, pab'.iihei by
Harper & Brothers. This drama was rewrit
ten a number of years ajo, from an earlier
play by the same author, entitled The Sea
Captain, the first idea of which was suggested
liy astrikiDg situation in a novel by Alexandre
Dumas ( Le Capitaine Paul "). The liiyhtful
JJeir is not equal to Richelieu as a piece of
literary work, and it is iuferior to thj Lady of
Lyons and Money as an acting drama. The
plot, however, is well developed, anl it has a
number of strong sensation scenes whioh
might make it popular on the stage, and we
wonder that some of our managers have not
made efforts to produoe it.
Messrs. Dick & Fitzgerald publish "Ami.
tenr Theatricals and Fairy Tale Dramas," by
Miss S. A. Frost, and "Comic Rotations ani
Humorous Dialogues," edited by Jerome Ban
ton. The first named of these little volume
is an attempt to furnish amateurs with a
number of interesting and effective pleoes
suitable for parlor representation, and whioh
will not make too large demands in the way
of soenery, costumes, and properties. The
titles of the dramas are "Mr. John Smith,"
'The Young Amazon," "Wooing Under D.f
flcnlties," "Bolts and Bars," "All's Well that
Euds Well," "Cinderella; or, The Little
Glass Slipper," "Beauty and the Baast," and
"Blue Beard." The other work consists of a
variety of oomio recitations in prose and
poetry, amusing dialogues, burlesque scenes,
eccentric orations and stamp speeches, hu
morous interludes, and laughable faroes. The
Works are nicely gotten np with illuminated
covers, and they ought to afford an infinite
amount of entertainment to the stage-struck
juveniles of both sexes.
Once a Month is the title of an Attrac
tive little magazine, the first number of which
Las just been issued by T. S. Arthur & Sons.
The size a lGmo. of ninety-six pages is
novel, 'and convenient for slipping in the
pocket. It is proposed to give, in addition to
original artioles by writers of reputation, selec
tions of interest from the best English periodi
cals. Once a Month is neat, compact, and,
if we mistake not, will prove extremely
popular.
SloanU Architectural Review for De
cember, published by Claxton, Remsen &
Ilaffelflnger, has, as usual, a varied and inte
resting table of contents. The high standard
f the previous numbers is maintained, and
we are pleased to believe that the magazine
Is appreciated by architects, builders, and

TUB ENGLISH ELECTIONS.
George W. Smiley writes to the Ne w York
Tribune from London, Nov. 21, as follows:
the TorieB amuse their minds by calling
Mr. Bright the minority member for Birming
ham. It is true he came in at the foot of the
poll. Under the Liberal arrangements for so
olstribnting the Liberal majority as to secure
all three members with only two votes, it was
necessary that all personal preferences should
be saorihoed. Otherwise, the anxiety to rote
fur Mr. Bright would have endangered the re
turn of one of his colleagues. In fact, esoh
elector received from the Liberal Committee
an election card with the names of the two
candidates for whom he was desired to poll.
It was meant that the three Liberals should
receive as nearly as possible an equal vote.
To secure exact equality in a constituency of
40,000 was obviously impossible. It is evident
that some of the friends of the other two can
didates voted without regard to the committee
piogr&mme, fearing, no doubt, that ome of
Mr. Bright's liieuds would be doing the
psiue thing. For this or some other reason
Meesrs. Dixon and Munta were fonn i early in
the day to be running ahead of Mr. Bright.
Jiy noon their vote was considerably larger
than his, and at tho same time it had become
evident that there was not the slightest daug r
of the defeat of either of the three. Tue
lowest Liberal vote whs nearly twice tue high
est Tory, in this state of thiugs the j nut
Liberal Committee, who had always maut
that Mr. Bright tho'ild head tho poll, arranged
to redistribute a portion of tue votes not
already cast, so as to carry Mr. Bright luto
his proper position. Mr. Bright himself nega
tived this plan, desiring that no change should
be made for any per son nl reason, but that the
original scheme should be left to its natural
working, and be adhered to till the end. The
poll stood at the elo.-ie, Dixon, 15 0JS; Muatz,
14.G14; Bright, 14,601. The leading Tory had
fc700. Mr. Bright may well be content with a
nominal majority of about three times that
number. None the less is his willingness to
stand last an illustration of his usual unselfish
ness in politics.
Confronted by such a majority, the Torie3
have fallen back on their old taciijs, and are
bupy in fomenting dimension in the rank of
their opponents. Despairing of auother Cave,
or any political ii-ue, they would provoke a
personal content for the leadership of the
Libei al party. Lord Granville is to be set up
against Mr. Gluddtoue. A report has got so
far this morning as the newnpupers tliat upon
Mr. Disraeli's resign I'.tion he will advise the
Queen to Feud for Lord Granville to form a
Cabinet. No doubt the Queen has a right to
exercise a choice. Ko d jubt Mr. Disraeli is
capable of launching ,-uioh a l'artuian bhatt as
he retires. No douh', even, there i.-i a sootiim
of the Liberal pnrty, the f.issil Vui(ri aui
especially tho Wuigs of hiu raulc, wuo
view Mr. Gladstone's leadership with
ill-ditfgni::ed dislike, aui who wotill re
joice to pupplaut t'.ie commoner by one
of the blue-blood nob li'y like Lord Grauville,
who unites h&lf a-cUztn great names iu his
single percOD. But though Mr. Disraeli ad
vise, and the Queen invite, and eveu though
which I do not believe Lord Granville should
be bo carried away by ambition as to attempt
to form a Cabinet, the scheme would miscarry
instantly and utterly. This House is chosen
on a pledge of loyalty to Mr. Gladstone, and it
dare not defy its constituents by tolerating
the accession of a Grauviile ministry to ollije.
With the Blouse itselt rests the final decision,
but neither do I believe any Liberal statesman
of high position would at this momeut taice
oilic from Lord Granville. Be the merits of
that nobleman what they may and they are
many he is not the man whom the people of
Fngland have resolved to have for their l'riuae
Minister. Statesmen and politicians of all
grades have lately learned a le-tson iu reaped
to the supremacy of the popular will, aud they
are not going to commit buicide to please the
Cavendishes and Levison-Gowers, or all the
Whig families that for the last tnirty years
have played with tire and burnt their nugers.
Mr. Gladstone and no other is to be Premier.
The number of leading men defeated on bjth
sides is extraordinary the Liberals sutl'ering
thus far muoh more heavily than the Tories.
Not less than a dozen very able aud promiueut
men who were in the last House wilt not be in
the next, or at any rate not when it opens.
The numerical majority of the Liberals goes
on increasing day by day, but they have to
monrn the overthrow of at least six of their
very foremost leaders, including four who ex
pected seats in the next Cabinet as a matter of
course. It looks as if the new constUueuoies
liktd able men nojbetter than they liked radi
cals. At any rate the new House will be a
much weaker body of men than the old.
To begin with the Tories, both the law offi
cers of the Government have been beaten.
The Attorney-General, Sir John Karslake,
contested Exeter with Mr. Coleridge, who will
probably hold the eame office in the coming
Liberal administration. It was a close fight,
and Sir John is defeated by only 99 in a total
of 4543 votes, or indeed by only 28 votes less
than his other Liberal opponent, Mr. Bjw
ring. The Solicitor-General, Mr. Baggaliay,
was beaten at Hereford by 32 votes, wntoh he
carried at the last eleotion by 11. But the
Government will have no particular need for
law officers during the brief period of its ex
istence. The other Tory lawyers fare no
better than their official chiefs. Mr. E. K.
Karslake, in Colchester, shares the fate of his
brother. Mr. Garth, Mr. Uuddlestone, and
Mr. Gitfard are all beaten. Outside ot the
legal profession, the Tories lose the Earl of
Dalkeith in Edinburghshire a Tory seat for
generations who may not be a. man
of great ability, but is son to the
Dnke of Buocleuch. With him they lose
Lord Claud Hamilton for Londonderry, who is
also a Dnke's son, the Marquis of Aberoorn
having lately been promoted to the higher
grade. These two defeats to two dacal sons
the Liberals regard with satisfaction as an
equivalent for the disaster to the Marquis of
llartington, bnt I suspeot they would be glai
to surrender even a third seat conld they but
win back North Lancashire and the lost pres
tige of the Cavendishes. Perhaps Sir George
Bowyer, just beaten for Duudalk, ought to be
Set down as a Tory loss. He was nominally a
Liberal, bnt one of the men who manifested
their devotion to Liberal principles by voting
Steadily to keep Disraeli in cilice. His fanati
cal Roman Catholicism has given him more
notoriety than his abilities alone wonld have
earned for him. He was a kind of counter
balance to Whalley, and it was a favorite joke
in the House to get the two by the ears on
some controversial topic. Returned formerly
withont a contest, he id beaten now in a Libe
ral constituency which, like Stroud and many
another, will have nothing to do with people
who dwell in Caves. Two Liberals ran against
Lim; Sir George is lowest of the three.
Of the Liberals who looked to olfioe, the
latest and most conspicuous victim is the Mar
quis of Hartington, who, in Palmerston's Gov
ernment, was first a Lord of the Admiralty,
then Under-Secretary for War, and finally, in
the Russell Ministry, Seoretary for War, and
member of the Cabinet. His contest for North
Lancashire was a social and political oontestat
once. There are two seats, there were two
Tory candidates, and in the Liberal interest
Loid llartington alone. The Tories were
Cvlonel WUhqq Patten, Seoretary fob Ireland,
and the Hon. F. A. 8tanley, youngest son of
Lord Derby, whose estates and revenues in
the connty are of princely extent. The Mir
quia of Uartlogton is the eldest son of the
great Duke of Devonshire, the head of the
Cavendishes, as Lord Derby is the head of the
Stanleys. It was a fair struggle between those
two great houses, who alike lavished upon this
contest all their hereditary influeuoe of land,
social position, personal renowd, aud wealth.
They say the profusion with whioh money
was f-pent on both sides recalls the best days of
bribery. Soores of thousands of pounds were
laid out quite how they were laid out I sup
pore those who know best will be least likely
to tell. The triumph of the Stanleys was sig
nal. Lord Hartington begau and ended at
the bottom of the pell, and was beaten by more
thsn 1200 majority. The figures were Stanley,
Cfc84; Patten, 0733; Hartington, 6508. A
detailed history of this contest would be a
most instructive account of bribery, intimi
dation, and violenoe. The defeats Marquis
must be well remembered in New York. He
is that youthful aristocrat who, duriug the
war, illustrated his good breediug by entering
a ball-room wearing a Confederate rosette iu
his buttonhole. The incident will serve to
remind you how small was the sympathy we
got in those dajs from the great Wiig
fami'ies of England, who were then begin
ning to call themselves Liberal. Perhaps it is
cruel to remember such a prank, of which I
hoje his lordship has growu wise enough to
be athamed. His ability is very considerable,
and is the special form of adiuiuUtratlve
ability such as i-T wanted iu the War Ollice
Lord Hartington i " among the strongest men
cf bis party. As he cannot be ppared from the
Cabinet on account of his immense family
itllu-Dce, if for no other reason a seat is sure
to be found for him somewhere. In the centre
of England the family are still strong enough
f pite of two Reform acts to send four or
five of the "sacred Cavendishes" to Par
liament. Next to Lord llartington and in everything
but rank his superior comes Mr. Miluer
Gibson, one of the veteran leaders ot the Anti
Corn Law League, and one of its most noted
orators. He was then member for Manchester.
When Peel went out iu 184li, Lord John
Russell made Mr. Gilson Vice-President of
the Board of Trade. He sat sixteen yean for
Manchester, during ten of which he had John
Bright for colleague, and they were rejected
together by that constituency in 1857 for tha
Same reason their opposition, to the Crimean
war. Mr. Gio.-on theu fouLcl a seat at Ashton-under-I.yne,
aud has held it till now, when
lie iinds himself niot-t unexpectedly defeated
by a Tory, a Mr. Mellor, by I'll votes. He
was returned at the laet election without n
crntest. The whole com lituonuy was then . it
007; on Wednesday there were 4ll(j votes
actually cast, and this is one of the places
where the Reform bill Brew- to hava dug deep
enough to get at that Tory "residuum"
which Mr. Bright dreaded, and the expecta
tion of which was one of the arguments that
Mr. Dirraeli employed in educating his party
to adopt household suffrage.
Following Mr. Gibnou's in importance is the
defeat of Mr Bruce the Right Hon. Henry
Austin for Mertbyr Tydvil. Mr. Bruce was
Under-Secretary for the Home Department
from 1SG2 to 18U4, aud has held other offices;
is distinguished till more as an educational
reformer. Iu tho new Miuistry he was ex
peoted to be, perhap', at the head of his old
department, or to take the new office of Minis
ter for Education, when that ehall be esta
blished. Local causes are sa'd to have de
feated him, aud he stands actually last of the
three candidates, all Liberals. The constitu
ency is fo numerous aud important that the
last Reform act gave it an additional member,
so Mr. Bruce, who was returned before with
out opposition, has the raortifica'ion of se-ing
two men of his own party, neither of them
eminent, preferred to himself. It was ex
pected, when his defeat became kuowo, that
one of the two Liberal candidates for the
county of Glamorganshire would withdraw in
his favor; but they both declined. But a
seat will doubtless be found for him some
where. The fourth defeated Ministerial expectant is
Mr. Uortuian, one of the original AiullaiuUe-t,
who has since made his peace with Mr. Glad
Ftoi.e, and whose undoubted ability maiked
him out for cilice. But he i-A away from
Stroud, Lis old eeat, weeks before the election,
and appeared In Falkirk to contest that
borough with Mr. Merry, a Liberal, much
better known on the turf than in the. House,
where his voice is never heard. In Falkirk
the nomination took place on Thursday, aud
the Sherill' declared the show of hands so even
that he could not decide between them, so
both candidates demanded a poll. But at 3
o'clock of the same day Mr. Horsmau's heart
failed him, and he withdrew from the contest.
The truth is that though Mr. Gladstone has
forgiven Mr. Horsman, his party have not.
The most genuine professions of repentance
do not always avail. Major Anson was an
other of the maloontents who went into the
Cave a man of note in his profession, and of
some also in politics; a younger son
of the Earl of Lichfield, aud one of the
heroes of the Lucknow defense. He sat
for LicLlield in Staffordshire, where
the influence of his family is great. Of the
two seats which that borough possessed, the
reform act abolished one, aud the other goes
to Colonel Dyott, a Tory apparently from
lukewarmness on the part of the Liberals.
Major Anson does not at all belong in a list
of defeated office-holders in expectancy he
crept into this paragraph as au Adullamite
only. There remains Mr. Lawson, who was
Irish Attorney-Ueneral under Lord Russell,
and who represented in the last Parliament
about the smallest of the ridiculously small
boroughs that still oumber the ground. Port
arliugton gives Mr. Lawson but 51 votes; his
successful Tory competitor, Mr. Darner, L:n
08. It seeds no propbetio gift to predict that
Portarllngton will come to grief in the very
next Reform act an act sure to be passed
in lbU9, for several purposes.
Mr. Bernal Onboine's defeat must be
reckoned among the Liberal disaiuers, although
he stood for Nottingham rather as an inde
pendent than a party candidate. Of his genu
ine liberalism, and even radicalism, on aoun
great questions there can be no doubt. II-),
too, is one of the men whose defeat sensibly
diminishes the intellectual strength of the new
House. It is the fashion to talk of Bernal Os
borne as only a jester. His wit, and still
more his fun and hearty Joviality of humor,
are undeniable, but there are very solid quali
ties underneath. Everybody orowded to hear
Lis speeohes, and read them next morning in
the papers. He oould supply all the good things
there are in Punch weekly without feeling the
lose which is not saying muoh. What
beaten candidate ever made a ppeech of such
overflowing pood-hnmor and hilarity as Mr.
Osborne's at Nottingham f He described air
Robert Clinton as the real workingmen's can
didate, and of the successful Tory, Colonel
Wright, Mr. Osborne said: "I don't kuow
that if he had other principles yon could have
a better man." And be went en:
"I don't like bin principles, bat be has avne
thlng about Dim tUal i do like I like Hie wife.
(Koara of lauitbter, amid wbloH tue aoeaker
tmok randa with Mrs. Wright.) From the mo

wbom I could not Hud me equals of. (tieueived
appiautie.)" i
There is more in the same unequalled man
ner, and then, while admitting his dafeat
could not have been averted, Mr. Osborne read
a lecture to the electors of Nottingham on
bribery, which his audienoe hailed with criea
of "That's true," bnt which the local press,
for some reason, does not venture to report.
He was offered in the morning 50 votes for 60
shillings, and again, half an hour before the
polls closed, 2C0 votes of men wht had stood
out for a sovereign apiece. Probably Mr.
Osborne was not expected to take office with
the new administration, though his ability and
long service entitle him to a place if he wanted
it. But the House Itself will hardly be oontent
that he f-bonld not be one of its members, lie
Las been in Parliament ever since 1811, and I
bore may go back for some constituency whhh
Las better taste than Nottingham. I jJ
Mr. Lowe ia returned for Loudon Univer
sity without a content, and thereupon hai de
livered an address which I wl.th I bai tiun to
di.icui-p, but must pa-s without a word. Ue is
thus far the Ohf Adullamite who Las wonau
unchallenged success, and, like all the others
who Lave not been beaten outright unless
Bouverie be an exception saved his seat by
renouncing his pcditioal heresies at any rate,
by abandoning his policy of insubordination.
I thiiA 1 have dealt with the I ave pretty
fully in former letters, but in addition to re
ciiFants therein mentioned, Sir E. Watkinhas
been be a' en at Stutkfort, and Mr. Marsh re
tired from Salibbury without a contest. Mr.
Lsing, like Mr. Wa'kin, attempted a secoud
movement on Mr. Gladstone's Hank in the
Irish Church struggle. He sat last session
for the Wi. k District, in Scotland, without a
contest. Now he Las one Liberal and one
Tory against him, and his fortunes are believed
to be desperate.
The. defeat of the Tories is nowhere more
signal than among the ultra-l'rotestaut con
stituencies of Ireland. The headquarters of
Protestant ascendancy, the chosen home of
Orangeitm, rejects the Btlf-styled champions
Of tbe Protestant cause. Ulster is liberal. Its
capital, Belfast, defeats both Ministerial can
didates, sending Mr. Johnsouof Ballykilbeg, a
Tory who goes for disestablishment, aud Mr.
McClure, who is a Liberal. Londonderry was
a town not less etrongly Tory and Orange to
the backbone, but Londonderry is the tcene
of I. old Claud Hamilton's defeat, and super
sedes the son of the Lord Lientenaut by a
radical Liberal. Newry aud Carricklergus,
both in Ulster, and both Tory at the last eleo
tion, return Liberal members to the next Houe.
Elrtwhere in Ireland the popular verdict is the
eame. Galway returns two Liberals, a gain of
one; the city of Cork of course re-elected Mr.
Maguire and his colleague Mr. Murpby, whose
loyalty to the Liberal party was never ques
tioned. Of the members thus far chosen
throughout the icland, which awaits its eman
cipation from ecclesiastical rule, 38 are Liberal
and 12 Tory. Official in II Hence, landlord in
timidation, and the violence which iu too
many cafes has been employed without stint
or concealment, have not all together suffi ted
to secure one-third of the Irish seats for the
Tories. The Protestant minority of Irelaud
will give but email help to Mr. Disraeli iu re
fibting the overthrow of the Protestant Chuioh
monopoly.
In Scotland, the most intensely Protestaut
of countries, indifference to the danger of its
cberif bed creed teeius still more stolid. Tae
Scotch burghs are unanimous, their members
Liberal to a man, and of tbe counties there
are but four where family influence or politi
cal tradition has proved stroug enough to
secure the choice of a Tory. Dumbartonshire,
Invernersehire, Wigtonshire, aud one other,
which at the moment I forget, hang out their
flags as Tory strongholds. Agaiust this for
lorn Lope of political bigotry the Liberals
marshal a phalanx of 36 members, and there
are reinforcements yet to come.
The counties have thus far done better for
the Liberals than the Liberals themselves ex
pected North Lancashire being their only
gieat disaster. They return so generally
mere local landowners that county ooutests
have not much more than a numerical in
terest outside their own limits. Huntingdon
shire reelects without a contest Lord Robert
Montague, whose envy of Aruerioa is so great
that in a speech last session he annexed
Buffalo to Canada, and then doubled his
blunder by Bending a Biitish consul there
after he had made it a colonial town. North
Leicestershire sends Lord John Manners,
whose nnhappy couplet about arts and learn
ing, and the old nobility, ought to be in Bart
lett's "Familiar Quotations," but is not. Lord
John has vindicated the greatness of the old
nobility by keeping a board fence for a year
and a half about Hyde Park, to punish the
Reformers for having upset the old railings.
In East Surrey there was a contest
of some interest to Americans. Mr.
Charles Buxton, son of Sir Thomas Fowell
Buxton, was bitterly assailed, as Mr. Mill had
been, for his share in the prosecution of the
Jamaica murderer, Eyre. The Tories, in fact,
made a dead set on the district, but they were
handsomely beaten, Mr. Buxton having about
400 majority over his highest opponent three
times as much as he had at the last election.
He might be more radical than he is, consider
ing his name; nor need the Tories owe him
any special grudge on acoount of the Eyre
businees, for he withdrew, I am sorry to say,
from tbe Jamaica Committee when they decided
to indict Eyre for murder. Mr. Buxton is an
able legislator, with a clear head, aud students
of English politics will find in Lis book, "Ideal
of the Day," a better collection of ourrent
arguments on controverted points thau exists
in any other shape bo convenient aud compact.
His father, the baronet, was beaten at Kings
Lynn, for which he sat jointly with Lord
Stanley, and I suppose will not go bauk to the
HouEe.
