whilet the claimant was amply supplied with funds by the neal of his fiends, shown in the substantial form of a sort of joint stock or limited liability company, ing ¢ Tichborne bonds,\u2019 and succeeding io trating a larze amount of those bonds either amongst personal friends ard admirers of the claimant.or in the general money market.This is the firat time within our recollection that large sums of money have been thus obtaloed for the purpose of litigation,4 but we very much doubt whether It will be the last, for it seems te be quite legal, and it opens to any litigant who obtains the confidence of the public al- moet boundless muni of promoting his case In eourts of law.Wo know from the evidenos that the cin'msnt had absoletcly no money when he came to England, and that Lady Tichhorne bad nothing more than a atnail Jointrre, If we may ventore to uss such an expression, the fi:et trial was carried ox by faith sad not by aight\u2014the faith, however, being confirmed hy worke, In the form of liberal tovestments 10 the Tichborne honds, In the second trisl\u2014that not yet ended.both parties have bad the advantage of à free access to the public purse.Tbe Orown, sa the prosecutor, of course pays all the cost of witnesses and oll other expenses on the aide of the prosecution ; and, in order to give the defendant fair play, it also pays the cost of all witnesses for the defence who have anything to say in his favor, The pabllo purse being thus opened at both ends, money paturally flows very freely ; and although the defendant may have rather overstated the cose when he aaid that the prosecution would cost £270,000, it will, no doubt, cost more than was ever cxpended on à similar trial before.It ls very fortunste that the Ohanoellor of the Exchequer has a handsome sorplas Is band, for, what with the Ashantee war and the Ticbborne trial, he will need ali his re OUroes «Liverpool Meroury.THE HOOSAC TUNNEL-THE FINAL BLAST~GRANRD SUOOESS.Nontz Anar, Mass, Nov.26.\u2014The company assem: bed in the tunnel about one p.m., sad ehortiy after word was at once given for Ali present to prepare for the coming shock, and elgbt minutes were given for them to dis Pose of themselves satisfactorily.Most of the Ri at once made n rush for sheltered spots, ing warned by old miners that the greatest fotce of the explosion would be felt in the middle of the tunnel.The amount of nitro- glycesine to be exploded by the electric dls.charge was one bundred and fifty pounds, or about twice the usual amount, and it was expected that the concussion would be fearful.At last the rigoal was given, and soon à terrific volumes of sound came tearing and thundering down the tunnel with a forco thet actually seemed material, Lights were blown out by the sweep of air that followed, and for half a minute the flinty wells of the cavern rang with the scarcely diminished report of {he tremendous explosion, while an almost irresistible power seemed to be forcing every bovlder down to its rocky bed.As soon es breath could be found ail made & rush form: tnt Mr, Hbanly waved them back, 6 instated that no advance be made until tid- vga come from the glycerine man, Amid the General confusion Mr.Bbanly almost alone vremed onmoved, but he was not thoroughly assured that the biast had had the desired of- foot, for aa yet no perceptible change in the alrcurrent was mentfeet, Desplie the efforts ef euveral ofthe oficiale the anxious throng pressed slowly forward through the foot or more of water thas covered the floor of the tan.nel, and all were soxtonaiy stralning thetr eye into the gloom ahead, in the hope of see og the wisbed for messenger from the front, ¢ last a glimmer of light appeared le ¢ distance, and a cheer rung from every (hroat.The word was soon passed slong the line that the blast was a complete sucosss, tod then, without regard bo entreaties or commands, the crowd rushed forward with a bound, spettering themocives with mud sed , ond shonting like wild men.feos heavy darriez of tisber was reached, whieh bean erected to arrest ying fragments of + and here a poses of oficials were dmwa if iE smoke that breathing was dificult.A shert dietauce from this spot the scene of the ex.plotlou was reached, sud here ware drawn up tho men who bad suporintended the obarge, while coe of them braudishiog à plokatacould te heard to shout amid the dia of voices, \u201cStand back { Walter Sbanly is the first man 10 go through the bol: |\u201d People did stead beak, while Mr.Bhaaly, with a grim smile of satisfectkon on bis features, strode te the barrow opening ;

but in the voto they were going to give to-morrow they were aeked to give 8 verdict not only upon these points, they were also to give their verdict wpon the propriety of Government TAXING MONET, wot from political partisans alone, but from expectant public contactors, for the purpose of buying themselves a majority {n Parliament.If they were willing to ssy that this was right and proper, then our so-called system of responsible government was a perfect sham.He was prepared from the evidence adduced before the Royal Commission, from tke mouths of members of the late Government, todemonstrate that money was so given by a pablic contractor, received by members of the Government, and spent by them tn car- tylng the elections.Ae to the question whether the money was s subscription, he 1° ought it strange if it really were eo, that + ve waa & stipulation to have 1t refanded.Li.usked them to apply the same principle to their own private business, sud enquire whether they would tolerate any such transaction fa that connection.The question for the electors of Lennox to answer was whether the conduct of 8ir John Macdonald, Sir George Cartier, aud Mr.Langevin, in this tranmction, met their approval or whether ft met their condemnation, It was @ question of honesty and urity egainst profligacy and corruption.\u2018ould Conservatives tell him that it was any part of thelr political creed that tioveramouts were right in celilng public contracts for money to oorrapt the electors?Were they prepared to follow their lenders through the mite and the dirt to that extent?Sir Joha Macdonald bad escaped the verdiot of Par.lament by resigning, but he eaald not escape the verdict of the people of Lennox (Cheers.) That verdict might be fn favor of 8ir John Macdomald's corrupiion.(Never.] The people of Lennox might be willing to consign themselves to the Infamy which such a rer.dict deserved\u2014[never|\u2014but he Le Blake) did not believe it, {Onners.) He had seen from the hon.gentleman's newspaper, white hitnself absent in Engiand, that he [sir John] bad received a requisition from a msjoeity of the electors of South Bruce.He challenged the bom, gentleman to that contest now, {Lund cheers.) An attempt had been made by making contrary charges, by trailing a red betring ecroes the path, to divert public attention from the real question at stake.Bir John Mscdooald had, upon the hustings at Napanee, ae well as in (he House of Commons, wm OBARODS AQAIMT WR.NUSTINGTON snd ihe members of the Libersl party of having given money for the Allan.McMullen correspondence.He challenged the hon, gentleman to the proof ; he challeoged him to move for a Committes such as Mr.Hauting.ton bad moved for, and he promised him it would pot be votod down, as was that motion of Me.Huet! .Mr.Hontlagton bad stated\u2014and be (Mr.Blake) belfeved that the statement was correoi-that Me.MoMutlen bad never receives ome cent for that corree.pendence, [Cheers.] He defended Mr.Oact.wright for having joined hands with the pre.sut Goverument ;

now he implored them, he called upon them nos only to vote themselves but to bring out their neighbors to vote for bis friend Mr.Cartwright.He belived they wou'd do s0, aud that the cause of justice aad truth would triumph.(Cheers) B:f.re sitting down be sanounced that Mt.Smith, Mr, Dorlon and Mr.Foaruier bad bven eleuted by acclamation.[Cheers] Also, that the Opposition candidate in St.John had retired, and thst Mr Borpee and Mr, de Vober, the Government candidates, would be unopposed.The hon.gentleman took his seat amid load snd long-continued applause, which was renewed agsin and again, Bir John Macdonald followed, being recolv- ed with cheers.Ho charged Mr.Carteright with being afraid of bim, snd with belog nn.det the pecestity of getting Mr.Blake to help him.He defended the late Government in their refusal to pass a pure election law, upon the ground that Parliament had committed iteelfl to-carry out the interim Act at the election of 1872: end he assertsd that Mr.Blake bad voted for that measure, As to the Government having determined the order in which elections should take place, he said this was only in accerdance with former Ca- padian custom, end he charged the present Government with inconsisteney fin advocating the system of having the elections all upon the same day, and yet on the very first opportunity they had arranged npon such days 8s best snited the different members who wont back for re-election.pon the quss- tion of members serving a8 Privy Councillors without a portfolic, he contended that it was unccnstitational and dangerous, without pre- œdent oxcept In cases of very old men iu England, who wers unable to undertake d-part.mental work.He repested all the charges ie had made in Parlisment about personal corruption in the elections by members of the Opposition, and made his old epeech with regard to the policy of the late Government in connection with the Pacific Ratiway, contensiug that Sir Hugh Allan had never been promised, and could not have got any favor at the hands of the Government.He alleged that the Ontario Government bad given their whole weight to the cause of the late Opposition, and this, toc, lu defiance of & former promive that they would not interfere.In reference to the assertion on the huetings et Bt.Mary's, that money had been given by him to candidates to belp on their elections, be centended that this was true in fact, and explained amid loud laughter, that he took care to give the money not to members themseiver, because that would have compromised their post.tione, but to thelr friends and supporters.With regard to the policy of the late Government, he contended that the new Administration bad come inte power with the country in « prosperous cendition, the people happy, contented, and comfortable, as the result of that Government's legislation, and he hoped that thess gentlemen would, when they came to leave office, bo that sooner or later, leave it in a similarly prosperous condition, Alibot&h a not very hearty cheer was got up whea he eat down, he intimated that he would claim the right of replying to the next speaker.Hon.E.B.Wood, who was received with loud and continued cheers, was the next to address the audience, He defondsd the action of Mr.Cartwright ln going into the Govern- mi La ment and described it as patriotic and worthy Ae alan Aafand conduct of Mr.Blake in accepting tive withS out portfolio er emolument: With to Sir John's charges and his intention to move for a committee, he reminded the audience that Mr.Blake liad stated in the House that when Sir John would put the charges in peo- per form, and moved for bis committee la the ordinaty manner, he (Mr.Biake] would be the last to oppose the motion.He caused much laughter by his treatment of Sir John Macdonald's explanation of iis statement at Bt, Mary's which he characterized as an assertion and a contradiction in ons breath, He characterised the scheme of the Pacifio Railway Company as the mad scheme of a mad Government, and was thankful that it was not sao.cessful in the English money market; In fact lt was impossible tbat the soheme could be successful.He reviewed the ovidenoe given before the Royal Commission, and declared the policy of the present Government to be honesty in men and legislation, equal rights to all the provinces, and anxious care not to allow to be trampled in tbe dust the charter of our liberties, the Constitutions] Act, and under no circu stances depart from 18 except by an Act of the Impetial telatare.With vegard tothe Pacific Rallway, the Government would carry into effect the policy they adro- cated in Opposition, and he boped before he died to see the Atlantic connected with the Pacific by means of a railway.One of the fint measur the Government would be rage à pure slection law, aad emcnd- ed Controverted Elections Act, Simultaneous Polling, Ballot Bil, and so on.Bir John Macdcnald bed charged the Government with not having made the polling upon one day in the case of the re-election of Ministers, That was very dlsipgenuons in Bir Joho, but he know all the time that he bad bimsell leit the law In such a state that this was impoesi- ble.This wes announced amidst load cheers, Hon.Mr, Cartwiight was noxt celled upou, He stated that it was quite trne that be hed challenged Bir Jobn Macdonald to come up to Lenscz and he came, but he challenged him also io make good the charges he uttered emong his companions at Ottaws, acd he dared not repeat them hore, (Loud cheers.) He bad promised t5 pay the tight bon, gentleman's expenses, and he had ordered thet te be done also.(Cheers) He would not be so muchof a b rite au to deny that the two elections previous to the Task cost him large sume of money, but in those days he hed a miltrtone about bte neck, inasmuch as he vas @ supporter of Sir Johu Mecdoneld.(Loud cheers.)
