The Daily Te/eqraph, commenting on the election yesterday at Liverpool, says the two candidates placed social reform above politics. The voters elected a man who seemed the more practical reformer. The Morning Post says Mr. Forwood has ren- dered himself unpopular by his ungracions- ness of manner. He had given umbrage to the High Church party and interfered with the shopkeepers in the matter of dis- playing sign boards.

letter says that Mr. Gladstone’s probable retirement from the Chancellorship of the Exchequer and then from public life, with the consequent reorganization of the ministry, is now being mfich discussed in the London papers. The Premier’s nearest friends, however, are in doubt what his intentions really are. The appointment of Lord Hartington as his successor would not be satisfactory to the Radical element [he Radicals would much prefer having Chamberlain. It may come to this, but probably not for sometime. Mr. Gladstone will, in all likelihood, be induced to stave off the irrepressible conflict between the Whigs and Radicals, which is sure to arise whenever he retires, by postponing for a while his resignation and retirement. He probably will retain. the premiership through the regular session of 1883, and turn over the duties of Chancellor of the Exche- quer to Mr. Childers. The Conservatives, it is universally admitted, have at present no chance whatever of regaining power.

The Svn’s London cable letter says next week Arabi and the other prisoners will embark with their families on a vessel at Alexandria and depart immediately for Ceylon. Each will give his parole to Lord Dufferin that he will not leave the island without the permission of the English Gov- ernment, and each will be maintained there by the Government ina manner befitting his previous station. Arabi preferred Lon- don-as a place of exile, but was not consult- ed. | He knows too much, and it is expe- dient that he should go to a place where his silence can be secured. The English Goy- ernwent was perfectly well aware that the Sultan had committed an act of war against England, and that she, in conducting the campaign against Arabi, was really at war with the Porte; but for a variety of reasons it was not desirable that a formal admission and publication of the fact, and of her knowledge of it, should be made asin the trial of Arabi it necessarily would have to be made. Therefore Lord Dufferin summar- ily disposed of the State trials at Cairo and the relations of England with Turkey are apparently undisturbed. Arabi is placed where he will be as harmless as the man who wore the iron mask, and the annex- ation of Egypt proceeds more comfortably and with less attempt at disguise.
