Soma eighteen months ago, under the heading " Self-Help at Bethnal-green," some praiseworthy local efforts to meet a distressing local emergency were described in these columns. Since that time there have been several significant movements in this great pariah, each tending to the same ends— the fostering a sound public opinion, and the pro motion of social and sanitary reforms. The abeo- _ .. lute ignorance of West-end London concerning the manners, customs, habits, and even situation of such places as Bethnal-green is such that informa tion respecting them which does not wind up with an appeal for charity, has the sort of freshness which pertains to records of unexplored, or little travelled lands. A general impression that deaths from starvation and cruel cases of injustice con- stantly occur ; that pauperism, long suffering, and great hardship are the normal conditions of the place, and that an occasional or frequent money gift is the duty of the affluent residents in other parishes, is common enough. But that Bethnal green should ever be held up as an example, or quoted as a guide, is a contingency which, at first sound, savoursof burlesque. Yet when Victoria-park was threatened by the gas companies local energy and courage sufficed to preserve it from destruc tion ; and other evidence is not wanting that the district deserves something better from its neigh bours than an indiscriminate and half contemp tuous ' bestowal of alms. Even the scandals of parochial jobbery and parochial squabbling, both of which are painfully rife, are not without their leaven of good ; and it is impossible to watch the pariah closely without ascertaining that its great want is sympathetic intercommunication with the dwellers in other and more favoured parts of London. The workhouse and its management is still a fruitful and unsatisfactory source of discussion. When the master, whose retirement was insisted on, finally left his post three days ago, an edifying debate took place as to the alleged irregular dis posal of medical comforts, wines, spirits, and stores. If one-half of what was insinuated at this board meeting be true, there has been a disgraceful misappropriation of the rate payers money, and though the implied charge of larceny was treated as a joke by one sec tion of the guardians, though symptoms of petty quarrelling set in directly the subject waabroached, and though the pecuniary relations of the man whose character was at stake, with some of the men whose public duty it was to sit in judgment on him, are freely spoken of as equivocal, still an appeal made by one guardian to his fellows' sense of decency was at last responded to, and in the event of the Poor-law Board not stirring in the matter, the subject will be allowed to quietly drop. The new master was appointed some weeks ago in this sapient fashion :—Advertisements were put out for candidates" under forty-five years of age, and without incumbrance." Many applications were sent in, out of which this local board selected a man who is some years older than the prescribed limit, and blessed with a numerous family. But even here it is both satisfactory and significant to find the parish thoroughly awake to the anomaly ; and that the more than suspected job is vehemently denounced by local politicians who ask whether guardians can say one thing and do another, and, if so, whether the ratepayers have neither consola tion nor redress. When the cholera first appeared here there were manifold discussions as to the best mode of dealing with it in the mass ; and it was at one time feared that the differences of opinion in vestry and board room might result in the disease decimating the district before an effectual means for dealing with it had been decided on. But the cry for action became so imperative that the authorities were stimulated into promptitude, and accepted a proposition made to them with an alacrity fully justified by results. A temporary cholera hospital was opened in Commercial-street, Bethnal-green, for the inhabitants of Whitechapel, Spitalfields, and Bethnal-green. The total number admitted into this hospital from August 20th to November 2nd was 364. Of these, 243 were suffering from undoubted Asiatic cholera, 109 from choleraic diarrhoea, and 12 from other causes. With one exception all the cases coming under the two latter heads recovered, while out of the 243 cholera cases 132 died. Cabs were kept. waiting outside the hospital night and day, and the instant a case of cholera was heard of were deapatched with blankets, restoratives, and a nurse. Mere, too, local self-help was pleasantly conspi- THE - 7EXPPTSS, I fittaliDAlit EVERING, NOVEMBER 43, • 1866: cuous. In hardly any instance wpm shrinking or fear of contagion allowed to interfere with the dic tates of humanity. The hospital having been once accepted at the hands of the people 'proffering it, the neighbourhood seemed determined to facilitate its operations to the utmost. Women and child ren were sometimes carried in their neighbour's arms to the hospital door : tenements in which many deaths had occurred were forcibly fastened up; and a system of informal house-to-house visiting established, by means of which plain sani tary rules were endeavoured to be enforced. Of course, there was stupidity, neglect, and opposi tion. Of course many flagrant evils are unabated; and numberless places are standing invitations to pestilence still. But the broad fact remains that in the opinion of those best qualified to judge, Bethnal-green bestirred itself to meet a pressing evil with an energy and determination for which it deserves full credit. It is no part of our present purpose to speak of the discipline and treatment of the cholera hospital itself. Dr. Sutton, its physi cian, is preparing an elaborate report, in which, it is said, minute particulars will be given tending to throw considerable light upon the pathology of cholera. Each patient's mode of life and habits as far as they could be ascertained, such facts as whether there had been any other case of cholera in the same dwelling house, and if any friend or relative had had the disease, have all been carefully noted. The symptoms of eye, hand, voice, pulse, and tongue were also recorded ; and where patients were a long time in the house their case-cards would make a tolerably thick volume. The local authorities cannot be credited with any of the advantages secured to the sufferers admitted. Those, it must be clearly understood, belong to the managers of the hospital itself. It is worth mentioning, however, that the Bethnal-green vestry agreed to take a specified number of beds for their own poor, contributing 1201. ; and that although no other vestry made an agreement, Shoreditch gave 501. and Whitechapel 60/., the latter place now characteristically asking for 141, back again in rates. The rent of the ware house used as a temporary hospital was about a guinea a day ; and one of its most striking features was the perfect freedom of admissions. No form, or favour, or qualification beyond disease, was needed. Its recommendation-book is full of such entries as " By a man passing in the street ;" " By a former patient of the hospital ;" "By a poor woman living in same house ;" and there is no doubt but that it has been as thoroughly free a hospital as has ever been founded. Last week there were but two cases of cholera in the entire The most obvious conclusion to be drawn from the recent visitation is, that certain preventive measures are absolutely essential to prevent Beth nal-green being periodically ravaged by disease. Bad water, foul drains, and noisome dwellings are the evils most bitterly complained of ; and a local association is on the point of being formed for their redress. An increasing section of the more in fluential inhabitants are bent upon securing extra neous help which shall not be purely eleemosynary, and in raising Bethnal-green from being a synonym for begging letters into a tolerably wholesome and popular, if a necessarily poor, parish. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) THE NEW FOREIGN MINTETER OF ArSTRIA: The circular which has been issued by the Aus trian government relative to the nomination of Baron von Beust, sounds to the Times very much like an apology. The baron, we are told, takes office as a new man, and the pledge he takes for himself—to turn over a new leaf —is equally binding on the government under his guidance. This avowal has been graciously acknow ledged by the Prussian government, and cannot fail to cause satisfaction at the various courts. If Austria can, as she now professes, lay aside all passion and rancour, if she can rise above the smart of recent defeat and humiliation, there is no reason why the two great itates which are now for ever separated may not be for ever re-united. To the project of a Prusso-Russian alliance the Times gives little heed, for the interests of these countries can never run parallel. In the conduct of Austria's internal policy, Baron von Benet wea not, perhaps, the most popular man on whom the Emperor's choice might fall. He is a German ;he is • protestant, and he takes the reins of • state distracted no less by jealousies of race than by conflicts of religious belief. Is a German the minister best qualified to treat with the Hungarians?—and should he even be successful with them, will he have the power to make a "happy family" of Create and Slovacks, of Poles and Ruthenes, of Wallschs and Saxons, of all the races which it is hardly possible to count or define? Is a protestant the minister to deal with the Jesuits, to meddle with concordats, to mediate between the extreme factions which threaten Austria with a revival of her old religious disorders! Baron von Benoit has, indeed, taken upon himself a task which will test hi' powers to the utmost. It is, to say the least, a singular way, observes the Dail!, News, of entering upon office for • minister to explain and defend himself before be can explain or defend policy ; but the baron perhaps means no more than that he feels at liberty to pursue new ends by new methods. It is strange to hear an Austrian minister referring to extra-Austrian Germany as a foreign state, and there is no question that Austria loses very much by the sepals'. tion. The prestige of her great position in Germany was important to her government as a source of domestic power, and the emperor has renounced the position without ac quiring compensation in security for the peace and tran quillity of the possessions he retains by an hereditary title. Rather it may be said that the statesmen of Austria have a painful conviction that their account with Germany is not closed and settled. It remains to he seen whether the German subjects of the Emperor will not prefer to be equal members in the great German nation from which they hive been for • time cut off, and whether if the new confederation reach the frontiers of Austria they will not feel the force of an attraction which has just drawn Venice to Italy. Without supposing that this contingency was especially present to the mind of Baron Benet when he drew up his circular, it may not unreasonably be assumed that it was one of the possible events which he calculated when be declared that the Austrian government will jealously guard the dignity and the integrity of the empire. igerned gentleman ka equally •Wiese • reg property end aft l o w lewyerk ME. BRIGHT. °heaving that Mr. Bright's second speech has shown the wantonness of the imputations of spoliation which bad been rest upon him, as well as the erro neous assumptions of his more ardent partisans, the Daily News proceeds to condemn his project as pro foundly impolitic, though not open to moral objection. If the tenant farmers on absentee estates can, in order to obtain possession of their land, afford to pay 10 per cent. more rent than is now exacted from them, their present position is not one of hardship requiring exceptional legis lative remedy. 111-trained to business through the for bearance with which they have been treated, they would possibly swept with great eagerness such terms es Mr. Bright proposes ; but they would soon begin to grumble ►t the inmoste of rent, and to be tardy in its payment ; and two consecutive bad harvests would probably make them defaulters altogether. Then the government must either sacrifice its money or evict the defaulters. The noblemen who had been subjected to the expe riment would seek to invest their money here. The price of land would rise, and the influence of the terri torial aristocracy would be increased. Yet it is exceedingly desirable that a resident middle proprietary should arise in Ireland, and general causes are in existence which tend to bring this about. Further facilities should doubtless be offered, but they ought to consist lees in positive legis lation than in the removal of existing restrictions. The Times takes up Mr. Bright's proposals, but rather for the purpose of dwelling on the defects of the Irish character than for considering the merits of any particular scheme of reform. After drawing a painful picture of the condition of the country, it nays that Ireland is incom parably better governed than the United States of America, than any of our colonies, than France, Italy, or Germany. Therefore her evils do not spring from bad government. The explanation is only too easy. The people have never submitted themselves to that discipline which is an essen tial condition of material prosperity ; they have wasted in faction, and political and religious hatred, the energies which should have been devoted to developing the re , sources of their country. Their history has been one long conspiracy against the existing state of things, diversified by successive rebellions and civil war They love to live in the past instead of in the present, and to dream of what never can return, instead of catching at the great advan tages that are offered them. Perhaps we ought rather to ; I wonder that the machinery of government and of society, • i under such circumstances, work so well as they do. the Court. WINDSOR CASTLE, Nov. 5.

THI RECRUITMENT IN RUSSIA. gu t lame has the anbjoined reonarks on this Thileilisial statistics, as is known, give the population of Russia in Europe (the Cenosens, Siberia, Poland, and Fin land comprised) at about 74 millions.

A letter from Prague, in the Vateriand of Vienna, says The great subject of conversation of the moment is natu rally the incident at the theatre on the evening of the 77th October. There are still doubts as to whether the man arrested really meant to take the life of the Emperor. The individual was interrogated on the following day, and • criminal prosecution is being prepar:d. Of course nothing him yet been made public as to the remit so far obtained by the inquiry, but, as we have remarked, the doubts SG to the importance of the event tend rather to increase than to diminish. In the first place some information ihould be obtained respecting the English Captain Palmer who struck down the hand of the pretended criminal, and an opinion is becoming more and more general that the whole affair was a plan easefully combined by this Englishman to produce • sensation. There is the more reason for that supposition that the tailor Antony Pust has hitherto borne an irre proachable character, and his antecedents do not authorise the belief that he was capable of each an act. I must remark that at the police-office Pust de nied all participation in the crime. Captain Palmer can not besides max that the object the accused held in his hand was really • pistol, and the more so that the arm, which by the way is a very bad one, was only found on the spot an hour later. There is also reason to observe that Pust lived with his wife in a most precarious posi tion, and for some days past had been reduced to great distress by her acoouchemeut. (salmis's TELEGRAM&) THE FRENCH ARMY. PARIS. Nov. 6. The Monitens de CA rmie publishes an article upon the inferences drawn by the Paris journals relative to the proposed reorganisation of the army, and says : " The National Guard will never be anything but a reserve. Above all, it is necessary to have an army before the formation of a reserve. The effective strength of 400,000 men as a peace establishment will not therefore be reduced. The object of the commission appointed to report on this question will be to discover the means of constituting a reserve always available, more considerable, and better in structed and exercised than the present. Such an in stitution will not permit any reduction in the war budget, but will, on the contrary, necessitate some sacrifices indispensable for the honour and security of the country." LORD DERBY'S LEGAL APPOINTMENTS. The Post remarks that an unusually large number of valuable legal appointments have become vacant lino. Lord Derby's accession to power. Sir F. Kelly, who had been singularly unlucky, has at last been promoted to the bench, Sir H. Cairns to the justicaship of appeal, and Mr. Holt has become Attorney-GeneraL Other changes of equal importance are impending. At the end of the present term Sir William Erie will retire from the Lord Chief Justioeship of the Common Pleas, and it is believed that Sir William Bovill, the Solicitor-General, will be his sun. caner. If Mr. Justice Willes or Mr. Justice Lush were to be offered the appointment about to become vacant, and Sir i William Bovill, following the example of Sir Henry Keating, would be content with a plume judgeship, the Post believes the profession and the public would be better satis fied ; but Mr. Justice Willey and Mr. Justice Lush have never been in parliament, and therefore they have no claims for political services rendered to any party. On the other hand, the Solicitor-General is a good conserva tive, and his services to that party in the House of Com mons will no doubt be considered paramount to the au. perior legal qualifications of the two judges just mentioned. For the new Solicitor-General two names are mentioned— those of Mr. Selwyn and Mr. Brett. Another vacancy on the bench will shortly occur by the resignation of Vies- Chancellor Sir R. T. Kindel-day, who has served a period requisite to entitle him to his pension, and if Mr. Malin succeed him, a better selection could not be made, for the LATEST urrELuonica OPINIONS OF THE ITALIAN AND FRENCH PRESS ON THE POPE'S ALLOCUTION. The Nazione speaks in the following terms of the papal allocution : We find in it the usual lamentations, the customary circumlocutions which, ®der cover of pompous and mys tical language, veil earthly ambition, false and unjust sensations, vain griefs and impotent thresh. This to not worth, and indeed does not permit, confutation. We prefer rather to observe that while the exile of some bishops, the canoe of which is studionaly kept concealed, is made one of the strongest points against us, the circular of Baron Rimed had put an end to this exceptional state o f things seven days before the publication of the slime lion. But what is a small matter of dates to one who is the master of eternity.? The Diritto says : The Papacy has clearly declared its intentions in the allo cution just published. Rome has demaestrated once more that in its eyes catholicism is smatter of pure interest which must be defended by all sorts of weapons—lawful and un lawful ; and that whoever attacks that interest, that is to say, whoever would take away from the ecclesiastical power the ground and the means of its temporal dominion whether by the suppression of the monastic orders or the confiscation of ecclesiastical property or the annexation of provinces—aims • mortal blow at the soul of the papacy, which no longer reposes on the essence of morality, but on the purely mundane interests of a sect and a power. The Journal des Debate remarks : The language of the Pope surpasses in violence all that could be expected, and let us add. all that could be feared, for we cannot view without a certain degree of terror all the evils which may be produced by these reiterated defiancea of the church to the whole world. We say the church, for it is the church that bee spoken in the person al its chief. Henceforth it is idle to draw artificial distinctions be tween the so-called parties within catholic society. Rome allows no controversy, and calls the least hesitation rebel lion—Rena lama, omen finite. We are not surprised that those who saw the holy father leave the con. sistory remarked on his countenance traits of un wonted marines, and severity. The act which he had just performed—the words which he bad just launched on the world—were indeed terrible enough to cloud the human visage. It is not against Italy only that the Common Father of the faithful has launched his anathema, but against the whole of civil society ; against the modern world, its laws, its manners, its constitution, its organise. tine against all that it is even with the concordats and the assent of the church itself. The article concludes as follows : The Holy Father at least cannot be reproached on ac count of want of clearness. He withdraws his benedio tion—which had been misunderstood—end he replaces it with • declaration of war. The 44 reitir National observes : It must be admitted that the quertion'has been clearly put by the Pope. He was asked to reconcile himself with Italy, that is to say with the civilisation of our epoch. It was to ask for the impossible. To desire Pius the Ninth to extend his hand to • civilisation which denies the infallibility of the Pope, which recognises freedom of thought, freedom of worship, and the supremacy of reason, was to ask him to extinguish himself—to sign his own abdication and the condemnation of doctrines in the name of which the papacy has for 300 years been engaged in a struggle which it looks on as a necessity and a duty. The recent allocution the Arettir regards as the "agony of the last momenta" of the papacy. The Temps remarks : It must be admitted that the Pope sticks to the logic of his rife as spiritual and tempered pontiff, and we should be entirely out of place if we expressed the least astonish ment at a manifestation which is in such rigorous con formity with the doctrines and traditions of the church. The Litkerti doubts whether the Pope will put into execution his threat as to quitting Rome, as " it would be an acknowledgment that he could not maintain his authority there without the aid of foreign bayonets." The Nord says : The allocution is the 50th edition, unrevised and uncor. rected, but considerably augmented, of the complaints, lamentations, and sombre prophecies which the Holy ffe,, for the last seven years has been uttering against Italy and all the friends of Italy. Its painful to see the head of a religion of peace and charity preaching insurrection and wishing for the convulsion of the world. The Persevere tiza says that the allocution was written by Padre Picirillo, editor of the etriltit Cuttolica. The Roman correspondent of the Union men tions that Mr. Gladstone, at the audience which he had with the Pope, recommended his Holiness to take refuge in Malta. THE POPE'S ALLOCUTION RESPECTIN RUSSIA. In the address concerning Russia, his Holiness, after mentioning several instances of what he looks on as individual ill-treatment practised against catholic ecclesiastics in Poland, goes on to say : In addition, my venerable brethren, the Russian govern ment has promulgated decrees by which the catholic church, its authority, its laws, and its discipline, are trodden under foot. By them, almost all the monasteries of the regular orders of both sexes have been suppressed, all their property transferred to the public treasury PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Nov. 6. A royal decree has been published ordering the Prussian forces in Saxony to be reduced to a peace footing. The decision of the ordinary tribunal of Berlin, acquitting Herr von Tweaten of the charges brought against him in consequence of his speech in the Chamber of Deputies upon the administration of justice, was confirmed yesterday by the superior court. The public prosecutor had demanded that Herr von Twesten should be sentenced to two years' imprisonment. ITALY. FLORENCE, Nov. 6. Baron Ricasoli started this morning for Venice.

New Orleans despatches state that Mr. Johnson has urged the governor of Louisiana to force the constitutional amendment through the legisla ture. It is reported that several prominent Soutl Carolinians are aiding the government to carry the constitutional amendment through the South Carolinian legislature, as a measure of relief for Mr. Johnson. Mr. Wendell Phillips has delivered a violent radical oration at Brooklyn, in which he denounced the President, the cabinet, General Grant, and the constitutional amendment. _ _ _ Efforts are being made to indict Mr. Fourney, editor of the Washington Chronicle, and the Balti more police commissioners for an attempt to incite to a riot. The governor of Maryland has announced that he claims jurisdiction to try and pass judg ment upon the commissioner. If, during the in vestigation, the innocence or guilt of the commis sioners appears established, he would act instantly, even in the midst of the proceedings. The trial progresses. Washington despatches deny the report that the United States will take any territory from Mexico. The steamer Theodore Wagner, from Boston for Charleston, has been burned.

General Sheridan has issued an order to General Sedgwick, commanding at Brownsville, that the only way to a better condition of things on the Rio Grande is to give the heartiest support to Juarez, and that the government therefore warn all parties that they will not be permitted to violate the neu trality laws between the Mexican government and the United States. These instructions will be enforced against adherents of the imperial govern ment, and also against the Ortega, Santa Anna, and other factions. Juarez is acknowledged to be the head of the liberal government in Mexico. General Ortega and his staff have arrived at New Orleans unmolested. They were about to leave for Brownsville in order to re-establish a conatitu- tional government in Mexico. It is reported that the Federal authorities will not permit Ortega to enter Mexico, and will probably arrest him in New Orleans. A Canadian jury has found the Fenian Colonel John Lynch and the Rev.

The plaintiff's eaves shortly this : He was appointed Bishop of Natal, by he m patent, on the 23rd November, 1853. On the mance elle appointment, the council for the Colonial Bishopriss agreed with the crown and the plaintiff to pay hi a annual sum of 3001., which was not to be liable to re. duction during the incumbency of the first bishop, r ee fund from which this 300/. was to come, and a firths.* of 3821. 10n-also agreed to be paid to the plaintiff-se, from subscriptions made by several perms, e ms then Miss Burdett Coate, for the special perm d endowing the Bishopric of Natal.

LORD MAYOR'S DAY. At the banquet at Guildhall on Friday next, Alderman GaMel, the Lord Mayor elect, will be installed in office with all the customary pomp and circumstance. All the more conspicuous of the cabinet ministers have accepted invitations, as have also most of the members of the government. Among the great officers of State who will share the hospitality of the City on the occasion are the Lord Chancellor, Lord Derby, the Earl of Malniesbury, General Peel, the Earl of Bradford, Lord Stanley, Mr. Disraeli, the Earl of Devon, Sir Stafford Northcote, Viscount Cran borne, Sir John Pakington, Lord John Manners, and the Earl of Carnarvon. The Marquis of Salisbury, as Lord. Lieutenant of Middlesex, has also accepted an invitation, as have likewise the Attorney and Solicitor General, Sir Hugh Cairns, and Mr. Roebuck. Upwards of 1,000 in vitations have been issued. The route of the pageant on Lord Mayor's Day, on leav ing Guildhall, will be by way of King-street, across Cheap side into Queen-street, thence by Watling-street and Budge-row, crossing Cannon-street near the entrance to Walbrook, into Dowgate-hill and Lower Thames-street, as far as the entrance to Southwark-bridge, then by way of Queen-street into Cannon-street, passing through the Ward of Wintry, which the new Lord Mayor represents in the Court of Aldermen, and thence onward by St. Paul's, Ludgate-hill, Fleet-otreet, and the Strand, to Westmin ster. The pageant itself will, it is understood, be shorn of much of its cumbrousness and some of its grotesque features. On the night of the banquet the Guildhall will be splen didly illuminated and most elaborately decorated. The marriage of the Earl Craven with Min E. Barrington is fixed for the 29th of this month.
