A FEW days ago there were gathered together at a sumptuous feast the chief Ministers of the Crown and the Chief Magistrate of London. Their hearts were glowing with the sympathy induced by civic hospi tality, and they dilated upon the generous care which England exhibited towards those who served her and won her battles. This care, it was said, was not con fined to the soldiers and the sailors who fought in her behalf; but, if they died, it was extended to their widows and orphans. This was the banquet aspect of the relations between the two parties. This was the aspect which it was likely to assume under the influence of good company and good cheer. There is another, and, we fear, a truer aspect, which is by no means so bright. We have more than once had occasion to speak of the administration of the Patriotic Fund. Of this fund the LORD MAYOR of London is, ex qfficio, an ad ministrator ; but being so only by virtue of his office, he may be pardoned for being ignorant of the manner in which his fellow administrators perform their duties. It would be well, however, if he Were to inquire into the matter. He would then find very little cause for that congra tulation upon the fostering love shewn by this coun try towards those who have special claims upon it. Had he inquired before the Guildhall feast there would have been less of laudation with respect to the manner in which England performs one of her most bounden duties. The Patriotic Fund was subscribed during the Russian war for the benefit of those who were then serving by sea and land. Touched to the heart by the "horrible and heartrending" sufferings of our soldiers on the heights of Balaklava during the fear ful winter of 1854-5, Englishmen were more than usually free of hand, and the money which they subscribed exceeded a million sterling. This large gift was entrusted to persons eminent by rank, political position, or military services, and who were selected by the QUEEN. The money had been subscribed expressly for the benefit of the men serving in that particular war, and of their wives and children. The subscribers never thought of taking upon themselves the duties belong ing to posterity. The idea of creating perpetual endowments never entered into their heads. Their duty was towards the men then fighting their battles. If future wars should arise, it would be for those in whose behalf they were waged to do as the donors themselves were doing. The very magnitude of the sufferings endured by our army strengthened the motives which prompted their liberality. The soldier frozen in the trenches was a vicarious-victim ; ho was suffering for them. It was but little they could do for him. Prayer went up for him day and night in many an English household all through that fearful winter, and, beyond this, all that they could do they did. They gave of their substance, and contributed the largest charitable fund that has ever been raised be fore or since. It is likely to prove the largest through all time to come. For it is melancholy to think how grievously this magnificent freewill offering has been misapplied. Its mismanagement has been so gross that Englishmen will never again entrust their charity to a commission, Royal though it be. The one great fault has been that, whereas this fund was intended solely for certain persons or their surviving relatives, a large portion of it has been appropriated to remote posterity. What proportion of it has been sunk in the palatial schools at Wandsworth it would be difficult for outsiders to say ; but we know that the late Honorary Secretary had to resign his post because of his outspokenness with regard to this matter. Not only was the capital sunk therein prodigiously in excess of what any institution of the sort should have cost (and no such institution at all ought to have been built out of the Patriotic Fund), but the cost of maintenance was most extravagantly large. Something, too, might be said about the cost of the head office in Spring Gardens, with its numerous well-paid officials, who admirably fulfil what seems to be thought the first duty of well-paid officials—snubbing applicants for grants, while they squander money in works of construction. They might have been pardoned for building such places as the Victoria Asylum had they first supplied fully the wants of all those for whom the Fund was subscribed. If every widow or orphan of our brave soldiers and sailors were now living in comfort, so that to grant additional funds to them would be a waste of money or misapplication of charity — then the Commissioners might have said: The generous English nation has subscribed so liberally that it has enabled us to meet the wants of all those whom it wished to relieve, and yet to have a large surplus ; let us, therefore, think of others who may not be so fortunate, for whom there may be no such stirring appeal. This would have been a proper c y pres application of the Fund. But so far from the primary object having been fulfilled, there are numerous relatives of the sailors and the soldiers who took part in the Crimean campaign who are in abso lute want. Others there are to whom relief has been doled out with miserable parsimony; and in one case, at least, it has come in the form of a payment for burial, having been implored in vain in the shape of medical attendance. Another and most serious wrong is the manner in which it has been sought to restrict the persons to whom grants are considered applicable. The terms of the Royal Commission state that the fund is to be administered in accordance with the liberal spirit and intentions of the donors. The very opposite spirit has prevailed and still prevails. Instead of including, as the donors wished, every person who could by any possibility be included, the Commis sioners, or at all events the Executive Committee, seem to have been influenced by the desire to keep out everyone who could on any pretence be excluded. Some months ago we gave illustrations of this injus tice. We will now give another. During the Russian war the militia had to servo on foreign stations, taking the place of the troops who had gone to the Crimea. The militia were not absolutely under fire, yet they were subjected to all the chances of sickness caused by residence in some times unhealthy climates, and they had to perform all the duties which regular soldiers have to fulfil in a garrison during time of peace. But for the war they would not have left England, and many of them would have been spared from the illness which in some cases proved fatal. Those who died were as much victims of the war as though they had fallen in the trenches before Sebastopol. Nevertheless by one of those arbitrary acts, utterly antagonistic to "the liberal intentions of the donors," the widows and the orphans of militia officers have been excluded from all participation in the Fund. It may be said , that as a rule militia officers are gentlemen of private fortune, and undoubtedly they often are so. But when they have been it is not likely that their widows or orphans will apply for relief. The condition, how ever, is by no means universal, and what we complain of is, that while it is not, the rule is. The committee have lately had before them the case of the widow of a militia officer who died of disease contracted at Corfu, and who, though absolutely destitute, is refused all relief. The injustice is the more grievous because the applicant is the daughter of a distinguished officer who served with NELSON, and has had three brothers who have died in the service. The Patriotic Fund is so large that in order to get rid of it an untold sum has been sunk in bricks and mortar, and yet here is a lady born and bred, the daughter of one of our great Sea Captain's comrades, the sister of three young officers who lost their lives in behalf of their country, and the widow of another officer who died in consequence of that very war which gave rise to the Fund, and she is penniless. If neither the Committee nor the Commissioners will learn their duty better than this, the Press and Par liament must teach them. No subject can have greater interest than emi gration to a people likely soon to take the lead among emigrating nations. Ireland has had her day, Germany is having hers, and England's is dawning. It may be difficult to work out the rea sons why a whole people should suddenly be smit ten with the mania to emigrate. But this has hap pened in all ages, the main cause being distress. Naturally the Irish are less inclined to emigrate than the English, for they are less enterprising, and nothing but the force of a tremendous calamity could have impelled the move. But once fairly under way, the impetus was kept up, because Irish colonies were founded in the United States by the first exodus, and Hibernian families naturally floated to settlements where their friends and rela tives were already located ; but nothing less strong than starvation could have had the initial effect, and it will remain a marvellous effort for so ignorant and poverty-stricken a community. German emi gration is a more steady movement, because it springs from a general and, growing knowledge among the people that they can better their condition by settling on the healthy, fertile, and unoccupied lands of the United States. The difference is that the German is attracted, while the Irishman h ejected ; hence German emigration will probably increase, till the depletion raises the value of handiwork, as well as lessens the difficulty of obtaining land in Ger many ; that is, decreases the attraction by bringing up the home ad van t ages. Th e p os ition of Euglan 1 has been peculi ar . P ro b a bly the English are better qualified for emigration than the Germans or the Irish, and as such ought to have led in the exodus ; but since the close of the Napoleonic wars England has bee n grow i ng i n m anufacturing great ness in an unparalleled degree, and tLough her people emigrated, it was from the country to the towns. It is this which has turned aside the flow abroad ; but manufactures are an unstable support, and the check by the close of the American war, as well as by the gradual rise of competing industries on the Continent, have eventuated in the distress now prevailing. The Irish exodus was due to the potatoe disease; the English exodus will be the re suit of foreign competition in manufactures, followed by a depression of trad e , w ith the consequent want of employment. It has been ascertained that dur ing great distress,or revolution,or national distrust emigration increased from Europe, for the force of attraction became greater as also that of ejection ; but in years of European peace and prosperity, while depression prevailed in America, both being lessened, emigration responded in a marked degree. As England is now Buffeting, and must continue to suffer, English emigration is now increasing, and will continue to increase, and the effect is distinctly shown iu the emigrati)n returns from Liverpool. With the year ending in June, 214,748 mile, and 137,821 female etnigrauts landed in the United State:. Of these Germany furnishe I 132,537, Ireland 64,938, not a half, and but barely over that of the neighbouring island of Great Britain, which supplied 60,28 G. This is a remarkable fact, and one worth noticing, for its influence will be strongly felt after the lapse of a few years. Interpreted into plain English, it means that America is being Germanized, that Irish influence is on the wane, and English influence on the increase. It is not improbable that the emigration of the English and Scotch actually exceeded the Irish, for the United States receisred 20,918 from the British provinces. English emigration is directed, as far as some well-intentioned though ill-informed men can di vert it, to Canada, where the labour market being comparatively small the drift is across the border into the United States. Hence the probability that the majority of these 20,918 were British, and it may now be assumed that British emigration to the United States is as rapidly increasing as that of Ireland is decreasing, and having already be come little short of equal, the excess will soon be largely English. Throughout Great Britain those who inquire among working men and other classes can feel and see the increasing movement. It is shown, too, by the numerous emigration;schemes, among which we may notice next week a novel one about to bebrought into operation. That the Union is alive to the movement may be seen in the efforts of each State to direct to its soil a portion of the stream. Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas, Co lorado are all in the field. Virginia is making special efforts, but mainly in the Northern States. The South has combined to achieve this object, and it is probable it will despatch an agent to Europe as advocated by the Louisville Convention, to act for the State Governments. In late years close on half the emigrants who landed in New York were Ger mans, the actual figures being forty-nine per cent., but in the face of the coming movement in Eng land this proportion is not likely to be main tained. Already English working men are urging their Government to give aid, and as their political influence becomes more felt, emigration will more occupy the attention of the Legislature. Some curious facts are recorded by Mr. FREDERIC KAPP, a commissioner of emigration, in a paper he read the other day to the Social Science Meeting of the American Association. The emigrants of last cen tury contracted for their transport by temporary servitude on their arrival. Adults had to serve three years, children from ten to twelve, and young chil dren were surrendered without charge to their mas ters, who had to rear them. On arrival the passengers were sold to the highest bidder, sound agricultural labourers and sturdy mechanics fetching a good price, while military officers and scholars were un saleable, the value being in inverse ratio to educa tion. Runaway servants lengthened their term one week for each day of absence, and the unexpired term was of value to the master, as it was saleable. It was not till 1819 that the last of such sales was recorded in Philadelphia. From the outbreak of the American Revolution till the close of the NA POLEONIC wars the immigration was from 3,000 to 4,000 a year, but then it took a fresh start. In 1826, 7,709 e m i grants l an d e d f r om the United Kingdom ; next year 11,952, and in the following 17,840. Then the tide again turned, and it sank by 1830 to 3,874. From 1845 to the end of 1854 Ireland sent 1 ,512,100 emigrants to the Republic. Afterwards this exodus largely fell off, but it was taken up by Vie Germans, who turned their atten tion to Ainerici, on the failure of the Revolution in 1849-51. In the same period, from 1845 to the end of 1854, the German emigrants numbered 1,226,392, and it is stated that from May 5,1847, to Jan. 1,1859, the number, of all nationalities, which arrived at the port of New York alone was 4,038,992. Mr. KAPP considers that tio population of the United States would have increased but little had immigration been stopped in 1825 ; the natural increase he esti mates at less than 1.38 per cent. yearly, while the actual increase in the decade from 1840-50 was 35.87, and in the next 35.59. It is not easy to 7 44- comprehend. the full value to the Reps h i -ic of the 300,000 immigrants annually received, but, a few facts are given to help us. An immigrant the United States is as a producer worth as much aF; a native born labourer of the same ability. Now , it is cal culated that an American farmer, or skilled work man, costs $1,500 before he becomes sqilf-support iug, and a female half that sum. Many immigra n t s are more skilled than any native woikmen, while men greatly predominate over women among the new comers. Hence, although a fifth are children, still the Emigration Commissioner considers $1,125 to be a fair average value. This is what it would cost the Union to raise people of the same productive powers, which has instead fallen upon the country they left. Yet this by no means represents all the gain. An attempt was made in 1856 to discover what amount of money each immigrant brought into the country, and the average, taken from their replies, appeared to be $6B; but this is probably untrue, for a man just landing is little likely to tell the inquirer what money he carried. The latest estimates are for each German $2OO, calculating clothes and tools ; but Mr. KAPP reduces that ave - rage to what he calls the low figure of $l5O. He credits to the German immigration a cash import of • $11,000,000 annually, and of $37,000,000, includ ing his baggage. Adding $l5O to the average cost of the individual as a producer the sum i 551,275, which on an immigration of 300,000 shows a yearly gain to the country of $382,500,000. That the United States is interested to an enormous extent in Euro pean emigration is sufficiently shown by these figures, but it is not wise to calculate solely the material gains. The Irish, with their keen sense of centuries of wrong, imported a dangerous cha racter into American politics, while their clanish ness and ignorance enabled unscrupulous politicians to use them as tools and to build up a gigantic sys tem of corruption. German free thought does not find a congenial soil in the Eastern States, but soon considerable communities will be purely German, and it will then perhaps be difficult to mould their descendants into the national type. It is not easy socially to blend those who speak another language, and merman tastes differ widely from those of Americans. They are more domestic, less excit able, caring nothing for politics, from which they have hitherto kept aloof. Such a thing as a Ger man Woman's Rights Woman is unknown, for they have found it neither profitable nor attractive to rave at their destiny of bearing children, while they have found it both profitable and attractive to make their homes comfortable for themselves as well as their families. The clanishness of the Irish and BRIDGET'S social, religious, and national notions prevent a fusion with the native-born citizens. Hence the divisions may be broadly defined as the American, the German, and the Irish, We believe that a good class of English emigration sent in a magnitude to make itself directly felt would have a happy social and political effect. It would directly strengthen American institutions which would be easily understood and fully appreciated by a good class of English workmen. American church con gregations would be increased, Protestantism up held, and the native-born inhabitants would soon feel that in English immigration they were really securing allies. This is what we have ceaselessly tried to impress on the minds of both, and we have often pointed out that the result would only be in a lesser degree beneficial to England than to America.—A nylo - A inerican nines. UNIT' ERSI7 Y INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, Nov. 17. In a Convocation held this day at two o'clock, the following members of Convocation were re elected to serve the office of Commissioners under the Act 27 and 28 Victoria, cap. 68, entitled " Au Act to amend the Local Government Act of 1858 so far as it applies to Oxford," and under " The Local Government Supplemental Act, 1865 (No. 5)" :—The Dean of Christ Church, the War den of New College, Professor Bernard, and Mr. Harcourt, of Christ Church. At a meeting of the Heads and Senior Bursars of Colleges and th© Heads of Halls held this day at three o'clock, eleven Commissioners wera elected under the Act 27 and 23 Victoria, cap. 68, entitled "An Act to Amend the Local Government Act of 1858 so far as it applies to Oxford," an 1 un der "The Local Government Supplemental Act, 1865 (No. 5)." The only changes made in the Board were the substitution of Mr. Wilson, of Exeter College, and the Rev. E. F. Glanville, like wise of Exeter College, for the Rev. C. L. Wing field, of All Souls', and the Rev. T. iteunison, of Queen's. The Junior Proctor has this day issued the lists of candidates for Moderations. In the Classical School there are 347 candidates, of whom 91 aspire to honours. In the Mathematical School, which is wholly an honour school, the number of candidates is 20. In the Convention to be holden on Saturday, the 20th instant, at a quarter to two o'clock, it will be proposed that the Curators of the University Chest be authorised to pay a sum of £5O to the vicar of Kirkdalc. In the same Convocation the name of Robert Faussett, M.A., student of Christ Church, who has been nominated by the Vice-Chancellor and Proc tors as Auditors of Police Accounts on the part of the University, will be submitted to the House. In a Convocation to be holden on Thursday, the 25th inst., at 2 o'clock, the following decree will be submitted :—" That the Curates be authorised to pay out of the University chest a sum of £2OO to assist Mr. John Henry Parker in carrying on the excavations at Rome, on which he has for some time past been engaged." In the same Convocation to be holden on Thurs day, the 25th inst., at two o'clock, the following form of statute will be promulgated :—" Placuit Universitati : Statt, Tit. XIX., Sect. V.—lle exa minatione candidatorum qui non sunt de corpore Universitatis, post verba in ejus locum sufficiaut' (p. 283, ed. 1869), lima gum sequuntur inserere : 4Liceat delegatis puellas inter candidatos adnume rare.'" This proviso will, if carried, allow of the examination of girls by the University at the Local Examinations. In a Congregation to be held immediately after - wards two new forms of statute will be promul gated—one on the subject of the Ashmolean Mu seum and Keeper, the other on the subject of the Readership in Hindustani. The lapse of time makes it necessary to renew the Readership Statute. A change in the Ashmolean Statute is proposed in consequence of an offer made by Mr. Parker, the antiquarian, to endow the Keepership with £250 a year in addition to the present stipend. It is pro posed to make Mr. Parker the Keeper at the first vacancy in the office. Draughts of the 26th (Cameronians) and the 71st Highlanders have been ordered to hold themselves in immediate readiness to join their respective re giments abroad. The 92d (Gordon) Highlanders will also send a draught shortly. One company of 93d (Sutherland) Highlanders will leave Perth and do duty in Stirling until the arrival of the regiment from India. The depot companies of the 74th Highlanders have left Stirling to join the head-quarters of the Highland depot battalion at Aberdeen. The depot companies of the 79th Highlanders will also leave Stirling on the 22d curt., to join the head-quarters of the Highland depot battalion at Aberdeen. Colonel W. F. D. Jcrvoise, R.E., Deputy Director of Works for Fortifications, resumed his duties at the War Officd yeAerday, having re turned front Lis official visit to Bermuda on Mon day last. The very extensive Distillery now being erected at Belfast, with all recent improvements for the manufacture of Irish whisky, by Messrs.

They ask that Government should grant them protection, even should it entail an autumn session. Mr. Fortescue, in reply, asks to be favoured with any suggestion as to remedies. OBSTRUCTING THE POLICE. A curious case has been heard at the Manchester County Court, in which, after it hail occupied the court six hours, the jury failed to agree on a verdict. It was an action brought against the police for damages alleged to have been sustained by the plaintiff in being imprisoned by them for one hour. The plaintiff had inter fered when the police had taken a friend into cus tody on a charge of drunkenness and furious driving, upon which he was himself taken into custody. When the case came before the magistrates it was discharged, thereupon arose the action. The judge laid it down that the charge was that Mr. Heap, the plaintiff, interfered with the police when they were in discharge of their duty ; but if the police had Mr. Wagstaffe, his friend, improperly in custody they were not in the discharge of their duty. In summing up he said, " unless it had been made out to the satisfaction of the jury that Mr. Heap had been guilty of obstruction —that was, that he hindered or overawed by force the police in the dis charge of their duty—the charge against him could not be sustained and the justification could not be accepted, therefore they would have to return a verdict for Mr. Heap. If Mr. Heap had only used remonstrance and argument, so as to induce the constable not to take Wag staffe into custody, that could not be considered an ob struction." The jury were, however, unable to settle the matter. THE POLITICAL EVICTIONS IN SOUTH WALES. The long-promised Conference, protesting against the late political evictions in South Wales, met on Tuesday at Aberystwith. The morning meeting was hold at the Temperance Hall, and was presided over by Mr. E. M. Richards, M.P., and among those present were Mr. Morley, M.P., Colonel Cowell Stepney, M.P., Mr. Dillwyn, 31. P., &c. Delegates were in attendance from most of the counties and towns of South Wales. The Chairman read a number of letters, chiefly from members of constituencies in North and South Wales, who were unable to attend from various causes, and some of whom declined to attend as not agreeing in the object of the meeting. Mr. Davis, M.P. for Anglesey, Colonel Edwardes, M.P. for Haverfordwest, Lord Hyde, Mr. Parry, M.P., Mr. Hanbury Tracy, and others, expressed their sympathy with the object of the meeting. Mr. Owen Stanley, in replying to the circular requesting his attendance, said,—" I am bound to say that I do not approve of the object of the meeting." He thought it best to let the evil cure itself. Evictions and intimidations were sure, he said, to work their own cure. Nothing could be more injurious (wrote Mr. Stanley) than to set landlord and tenant at variance, of which they had proof in the state of Ireland. Wales had always been loyal and true ; she had no wrongs to be redressed ("Oh, oh,") but enjoyed to the full equal laws with England. (Hisses.) Sir J. Hanmer deprecated the object of the meeting, which would be holding up Welsh landlords and tenants as different to others. He added, "It would not become me to take part in a meeting attributing to Wales what my part of Wales (Flintshire) is certainly free from." Sir Thomas Lloyd, M.P. for CavEgan borough, declined to attend the conference, and thought the move ment injudicious. He considered the matter ought to have been considered closed with the discussion on Mr. Richards' motion in Parliament. He thought if the matter was to be pursued the better plan would be to let it rest until the meeting of Parliament, and then to move for a committee of inquiry. (Hisses.) He saw great difficulty in the proposed plan of distributing money to claimants. Having read these letters, the chairman went on to state that it was not intended to set class against class. It was as clear as the sun at noon-day that there had been evictions for political reasons. A large number of notices had been given to tenants, and though many had been subsequently withdrawn, others remained. It was not intended to give a list of these until all had. been thoroughly investigated. The proposed plan was to make these inquiries, and then appoint a committee and secretary in each county, that assessors should value the damage clone to tenants, and then to compensate them for their martyrdom to political principles. Where substantial injury had been inflicted, substantial pecuniary compensa tion it was intended should be awarded. The following, among other resolutions, wero then sub mitted to the meeting by various speakers, and passed :-1. That this conference con,idcrs it to be a subject of sincere congratulation, and a strong proof of the development of poli tical principles in the principality, that so many electors should have voted at the last election in accordance with their convictions, notwithstanding the great pressure to which they were subjected by landlords and others. 2. That this conference deeply sympathises with the anxieties and sufferings of those who have been evicted from their holdings, or otherwise injured in their circumstances, in consequence of the conscientious exercise of the franchise at the last election. 3. That those who have been called upon to suffer for resisting coercion, attempted to be prac tised upon them as respects thefr votes, deserve to be Lssisted by those who honour political consistency, and to be compensated as far as possible for the losses they have undergone. 4. That for the purpose of rendering such as sistance as may be necessary, it is recommended that a fund shall be raised :—(a) By subscriptions and donations. ://) By collections in every chapel throughout the princi pality. (c) By a guarantee fund of £20,0000 ; this fund to be vested in trustees, who were to pay such claims as had been approved of. The different ways in which the Conference are esti mated are amusing and instructive to note. The Daily News says " the Conference has been most successful. Sympathy was expressed with the Welsh evicted tenants. Three hundred delegates were present in addition to Mr. Richard, M.P., Colonel Stepney, M.P., Mr. Samuel Morley, M.P., and Mr. Dillwyn. M.P. Subscriptions were entered into, and a guarantee of £20,000 was started, with much success." The Western Mail, on the other hand, observes :—" A more complete fiasco than the Aberystwith Conference of Welsh Liberals has proved it would be difficult to find. With one 'consent, the respectable men of the party have excused themselves from taking a part in what it is clear they regard as a very questionable pro ceeding. From the programme which has reached us, it is quite evident that a job of no little magnitude is in a safe way to be perpetrated, providing the anticipated £20,000 be raised, of which, however, we entertain some reasonable doubt."

The pretty waiters taxed for their pleasing traits might suggest a very popular impost to Mr. Lowe. Taking . all females who are be - coming-ly attired as waiters, he might by introducing the tax into this country induce all who had pretensions to good looks to insist on being taxed —it would be a voluntary female poll (or should we say "chignon?") tax. (From Judy.) BAD.--Why is the Lord Mayor's Show like "Tommy Todd ?"—Because it 's a popular absurd-ditty.

'WANTED A COACIIMAN.—In the account which the news• papers gave of the proceedings on Lord Mayor's Day, i was stated that the old State coach had been recently repaired and em')ellislied at considerable cost. Judy i t aware that whenever the Rads are in office " considerablf cost " is a phrase with which the nation becomes painfully familiar; but as to repairing and embellishing, that is al nonsense. All that the State coach wants is a good driver If the reins were in the hands of a Conservative whip 0,. our acquaintance, the State coach would make steady pro gress without " considerable cost" to the country. tA 4W 44,111.1 ix.
