" A CHAIRMAN of a Lib3ral Asnc..iation " of thirty-five years' sitting informs the public, through the columns of the Daily :Vercs, that he now retires in disgust. He leaves the future support of Mr. GLADSTONE and the Liberal party to those who are young and sanguine, or to Mr. JAWSTER SHARP with his four sons and sixteen nephews, who will no doubt continue their disinterested efforts. This deplorable retirement has been brought about because Mr. GLADSTONE has given a million too much to the Irish Church. By this act " a compromise has been effected—that is to say, a principle has been surrendered." Mr. GLADSTONE might have g;ve-. the C va o Ili.o nax..l rctninccl his principles and the services of the chairman, but by giving them ten he has forfeited both. Mr. G LAD - STONE unhappily could not discover a principle in MUTUAL ASSURA NCI: without MUTUAL LIABILITY.

In some men such obtuseness might have been expected, but " we said when Mr. GLADSTONE came to the Premiership the whole spirit of political life would be changed." Now we find that " SAMSON is but as other men." Mr. GLADSTONE has not only surrendered the money, but " he has even reminded us of what he calls ' the deference, which none of us should be ashamed to own, that he owes to the other branch of the Legislature.' " Here we have the unpardonable sin which compels the Chairman to retire after thirty-five years of active political life. In his own plaintive language he informs us " This is too much, life is too short and time too precious for warfare under such conditions." The Chairman 1 J 011 N GOSNELL and CO.'S CHERRY TOOTH PASTE is greatly superior to any tooth powder; gives the teeth a pearl whiteness, protects the enamel from decay, and imparts a pleasant fragrance to the breath. Price Is. 6d.—Red Bull Wharf, 93, Upper Thames-street. London. describes himself as a man willing " to labour with cheerfulness and good temper until my countrymen come over to my opinions." But Mr. GLADSTONE has cut short his political career, and how great is the loss which the country has sustained can only be appreciated when we contemplate the noble object which this cheerful Chairman had in view. He was not labouring merely for the security of the ballot-box, the rights of labour, or the closing of the drink-shops. His grand object was to bring his countrymen round to his own opinions. In this career he is suddenly pulled up by Mr. GLADSTONE'S mention of the deference due to the House of Lords. It is alto gether a new idea to him ; it interferes with and destroys his millennium. If other people are to have opinions, and they are to be respected, then surely the end of all things is at hand. Our cheerful and good-tempered Chairman is not like the Roman Emperor who, claiming Divine power, found his games interfered with by a thunderstorm, and declared that in future there should be no divided authority in such matters. Our friend seeing that he has lost all hope of bringing all his countrymen to his own opinions, calmly retires, leaving the future to take care of itself. It was evidently useless for him to continue a contest for such an object under such a leader. Mr. GLADSTONE feels a deference, not only to the House of Lords, but also to deputations of working men. Instead of seeking to bring all men to his opinions, he tries to discover the opinions of all men, and is even willing to weigh them with his own. Possibly some persons may imagine that this is not a disqualification for the leadership of the Liberal party, but these per sons are only the young and sanguine, who have not thirty-five years' experience. THE report of the Commissioners in Lunacy is generally a dull document, and is satisfactory from its dullness. It is matter of congratulation that the frightful stories of cruelty and mismanage ment which would have rendered a Lunacy Report some years ago more exciting than any roman-Se have now little existence in fact. Formerly our asylums were, beyond doubt, the scenes of unspeakable horrors; now they are well managed, ruled by com petent men, carefully supervised, and, so far as human foresight can provide, free from cruelty and oppression. It is, indeed, a discouraging fact that the number of insane persons is returned as being greatly on the increase. During the last ten years the population of the country has increased rather more than 11 per cent.,but the number of recorded lunatics has gone up more than 45 per cent. These figures do not, however, represent such an actual increase of insanity in the nation. So far from being subject for alarm, these numbers shew only that the care of lunatics is much more efficient than it formerly was, so that many poor creatures who were formerly not taken account of are now enrolled on the register. Hundreds of wretched beings, mad and half-mad 4 CALLAGHAN'S OPERA, RACE, and FIELD*" ng. The sitting was as laborio us as any recor d e d GLASSES, of Matchless quality. in the whole run of this most laborious session of 23A, NEW BOND-STREET (corner of Conduit-street). N.B.—Sole Agent to Voigtlander, Vienna. Parham ent. During nearly twelve consecu ti ve h ours, namely, from shortly before four o'clock yesterday afternoon until about a quarter-past three o'clo ck this morning, the House was actively engaged in the the hard work—and some of it the most responsible work—devolving on the popular branch of the Legis lature. The business of the sitting, in point of fact, was mainly upon matters of Supply. After the customary presentation of petitions, how ever, on the first meeting of the House in the afternoon, the earliest and not the least notice (ble proceeding on the part of the Commons was the attendance of the Speaker and about a score of the members at the Bar of the Housa of Lords, in an swer to a summons thither by the Yeoman - Usher of the Black Rod, for the purpose of the Commons hearing the Royal Assent given to a long catalogue of measures, the first and foremost on that long list being the Irish Church Bill, the Bill of the session and of the Government. Received sub silentio, and seemingly with absolute indifference, in tl:e house of Lords, the incident was greeted with ringing Minis terial cheers in the House of Corn mons, immediately upon the return to that House of the Speaker, accompanied by his little posse of attendant repre sentatives. Although the whole of this was, so to speak, merely a momentary occurrence, it seemingly heartened the Commons in regard to the labours upon which they were just adventuring. And to the accomplishment of the task more immediately before them, members, thereupon, resolutely set them selves, with a will. Personal explanations un happily impeded the legislative action of the 'louse— now in regard to Mr. LAYARD, with reference to the recent vote relating to the National Gallery, now in regard to Mr. LAYARD (again !) in reference to his individual responsibility in relation to the masonic decorations in the Palace of Westminster. Yet, for all that the business of the night was thoroughly well got through, and after the consideration of the matters of Supply for that sitting, the important question of the Telegraphs Bill was finally taken in hand, and dealt with, in the small hours, most practically and energetically. The Telegraphs Bill, in effect, passed through Committee with only one or two noticeable altera tions. In regard to that matter, therefore, the session will not be wasted, and at the appointed time the Act will come into full operation. Clief among the arnmdments introduced into the Bill was the one constituting the property—when transferred into the hands of the Government—a monopoly. Granted that a monopoly in a matter of that kind is to be regretted. Still—in the event of any necessity, la'er on, becoming apparent, for the interposition of the Legislature, the fpgisla!ure, could then interpose for the prevention of any de`riment ever accruing to the public at large from the retention of the telegraphs as a rigid monopoly in the possession of the Govern ment. Future Parliaments, nay, the present Par- Han - lent, will still be as free as air to revise that itn• portant clause in this great measure, the decision of last night, in the matter of that particular amend mcnt, to thecontrary notwithstanding. who formerly wandered at large, and often perished miserably, are now at least under care of some kind. It is possible that there may have been an increase of lunacy —some authorities are positive on this point ; but it is certain that the greater part of the apparent increase indicated by the figures simply arises from the greater care given to the insane poor. Unfor tunately, the satisfaction to be derived from the lack of exciting matter in the Commissioners' report is by no means unmixed. Our lunacy administration has its dark side, and the report has its corresponding melancholy chapter. The care of pauper lunatics has greatly improved of late years, but it is still pronounced " highly unsatisfactory." There is not sufficient accommodation for the insane poor, and the detail arrangements are often miserably bad. In Middlesex the first of these evils has risen to for midable importance. During one year admission was refused, for want of room, to 000 patients in the metropolitan county. The evil of bad management seems prevalent everywhere. The Commissioners find the furniture defective, the beds for the infirm might be much better, the winter clothing ought to be warmer, the food is insufficient, the patients are not furnished with occupation, and the super vision is unequal to the requirements of the case. Such are the complaints to which the Commissioners prefix the significant adjective "usual." They have no power over workhouse arrangements. All their dealings in this respect muat be through the guardians, and the report unhesitatingly says that these latter functionaries often resist reform. The Commissioners enlist the Poor-law Board on their side, and carry on the war with a little better success; but the net result is far from good. It is clear that the existing arrangements are inadequate to secure the proper treatment of the lunatic poor, and that a new • system is wanted. When this is provided, and every insane person in the kingdom is properly treated, we may not improbably have the gratification of recording a decrease in place of an increase of insanity in the British Isles. Better treatment of the lunatic poor is all that is required to render this yearly report of such admirable dulness that we may pass it over in silence. LATEST INTELLIGENCE (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

CROOKIIAVEN, July 27, 7.45 a.m. The Inman steamer City of Boston, from New York, is now passing Browhcad Signal Station, en route for Queenstown. PARIS, MoseniT, July 26. The CeDuties are letting off suurp7s legislative steam in the form of manifestoes to the country. Their parliamen tary duties being suspended just at the moment when they were becoming exciting, and finding it necessary to relieve their minds in some way, they have taken to publishing statements of policy in the form of post-election addresses. Some of these manifestoes are of no account, but others are important, and none more so than that of M. Keller. This deputy is a Catholic of the Ultramontane party, and yet, to the wonder of most people, he was one of the Cent-Seize who signed the demand Ise Ministerial responsibility. His manifesto gives his reasons for this extraordinary action. He professes to be a supporter of the Emperor's rule ; but he is impressed with the fact that the Imperial policy has fallen into many errors, and, much worse, the ruler is not disposed to amend them. The sove reign has frequently gone astray, and yet there are no means of criticising his deeds, no means of bringing such pressure to bear upon him as would lead him to make those reforms which he will not bring about through his own initiative. Hence M. Keller demands Ministerial responsibility. Further, as the effect of universal suffrage is entirely frustrated by the system of official candidates, M. Keller joined with the Ceat-Seize in demanding free elections. These requests, he adds, were moderately and mildly put, but how did the Emperor meet them? By dismissing the Chamber with the confir mation of the elections unfinished, by keeping in power almost all the Ministers who represented the old system, and by sending the reforms to be cut clown by the Senate. M. Keller is disgusted—and, I may add, so aro many others. Surely it is significant to find an Ultra montane Catholic writing in this strain. Another mani festo has just been published, and it resembles that of M. Keller very closely indeed. It comes from Jules Simon, the advanced Radical ! The manifestoes of minor note are very numerous. M. Dance' has published one strongly condemning the pro rogation of the Corps L4gislatif ; Ds. Magnin another, calling for freedom of elections, restoration of the initiative to Parliament, trial by jury for all political offences, and other such root and branch reforms ; and M. Marion has had his turn declaring that he did not sign the interpellation of the 116 because it was not sufficiently advanced. One of the interpellations which were drawn up by the members of the Left and abandoned, because they could not come to terms, has at length found its way into print. It claims Ministerial responsibility; the right of pro posing laws for the Corps L6gislatif ; trial by jury in political affairs ; the suppression of the law of surety ; general freedom of elections to Parliament; and the elections of maires by the citizens. This programme, we are told, was the only one which had any chance of being accepted by the Left. It seems that it broke down at last. The extreme journalists are abusing their representatives as warmly as ever for their "failure." The editor of the B:vcit is very summary indeed. He says that the only service the members of the Left can now render their country is to resign their seats, and let better men fill their places. Tho Bourse was terribly frightened to-day by a state meat in the Gautois. This journal announced that all the Algerian troops had received orders to leave their military positions and concentrate their forces on the frontier, preparatory to setting sail. This news, which means ; I suppose, that Algeria is to be abandoned, must be a Canard, but it served the purposes of stock-jobbers. The forgery of the Paris Loan bonds still remains a mystery. As I told you the other day, the printed forms in which the scrip certificates were made had been stolen from the Hotel de Ville, but all efforts to discover the offenders have failed hitherto. The clerks have been examined separately, each being questioned both as to his own acts, and those of his colleagues ; but many of them object to these inquisitorial proceedings. Some have been arrested. An action has been brought against M. Pietri, Prefect of Police, by a journalist named Laferriere, who was one of the many citizens arrested on June 10 on a charge of conspiracy against the State. He was kept in prison for five days and discharged " provisionally," whereupon, being an advocate as well as a jeurnalist s he formed the heroic resolve of bringing an action for false impri sonment. Great was the amazement of the officials of a Juge de Paix, to whom M. Laferriere applied for a summons against M. Pietri. • The clerk refused the summons, and M. Laferriere dec'ared he would go direct before the Civit Tribunal. He has accordingly drawn up his declaration, including in his censure the commissary of police and the gaoler of Mazas. He lays the damage against these two last offenders, however, only at 15f. each, but those against the Prefect at £4OO. Tennyson is staying in the neighbourhood of Lucerne, and making excursions to all the principal places o interest. A muse at Coteau was struck by liglitping a night or two ago with some curious results. The electriz fluid rushed down the chimney, tore up the hearth-stone, bringing into the middle of the room a quantity of rubbish ; it then passed to the floor below, raised several of the tiles with which the ground was pared, dashed them w;th such violence against the ceiling that they remained imbedded there, and then escaped by the window, every pane of which was broken. Two persons were asleep in the upper room, and several others in two beds on the lower floor, but no one received the slightest injury. The people of the South suffer much from the depreda tions of wolves and wild boars. Theso animals are becoming remarkably common, and go in droves. So many have not been known for years past.

The disturbances at the church of St. Margaret, Prince's- road, on Friday evening, durin g the sermen of the Rev. Mr. Bennett, of Preece, were the subject of a prosecution at the Liverpool Police Cerra on Saturday. A bookseller, named Thomas Lnnskey, was charged with having dis turbed the congregation. This was the man who exclaimed, "Out, Pretestants, out," when Mr. Bennett was speaking of henry the Eighth, Oliver Cromwell, and Willi; m and Mary. The magistrates, Mr. Edward Lawrence and Mr. F. A.

In yesterday's sitting of the Foreign Budget Committee of the Hungarian Delegation Count Beust spoke on the foreign relations of the empire, specially stating that the best possible relations existed between Austria and France. Since Aus tria had relinquished her Italian territories the in terests and intentions of both countries had become identical. lu reference to Eastern politics, Count Beust stated that he did not strictly insist on his pro gramme of the year 1867, but would rather leave it to the option of Turkey to follow his counsels as regarded concessions to the Christian inhabitants. Ile would exercise no pressure in this respect. Speaking of Prussia, Count Beust declared that he had honestly striven to establish more cordial rela tions with that Power, but bad hitherto been un successful, as he had not been met by Prussia in a similar spirit. Count Beust defended the policy of Austria as demonstrated in the Red Book. The speech was received with satisfaction by the committee, and the estimates of the foreign budget were agreed to with scarcely any reduction. The London Scotsman announces the serious ill ness of Mr. George Mac.lonald, the poet and novolist. S Mme few weeks since Mr. Macdonald, in company with Dr Buchanan, left London for a cruise among tLe Shetland islands in the yacht of Mr. Stephenson, of Edinburgh, the party intending afterwards to sail for Norway. Unhappily during the cruise Mr. Mac lonald was suddenly seized with illness of so alarming a character that it was deemed exrdient to make for the nearest port without delay. Th e unfortunate gentleman was carried on shore and remained in Shetland in a state of complete prostration formore than a fortnight. The symptoms having somewhat improved Mr. Macdonald has since been brought to London, but he was so weak on his arrival that be bad to be carried from the train to the carriage which conveyed him to his resi dence. Mr. Macdonald's complaint, we understand, is of the nature of imperfect circulation, in addition to which be is suffering from a most painful affection in the leg. Within the last few weeks he has recovered sufficiently to be removed to Derbyshire, whence better accounts of his condition we are glad to learn have bowl receiyed, lati Tol7 THE WESLEYAN CONFERENCE. The Wesleyan Conference at Hull commenced its public business on Monday. The Education Committee met in in the morning, the president of the Conference in the chair. The attendance was large, most of the members of the committee being present, and also several other gentlemen who take an interest in Wesleyan education, and who had been specially invited. The minutes of the meetings of the Education Committee, and its various sub-committees, held during the year, were read. The Rev. J. Clulow, the visitor of Sunday schools, read his report. The following is a summary of both day and Sun day schools:— "Day Schools.—The amount of annual Government grants in IE6B was £32,611 6s. 11(1., being an increase of £476 7s. ld. on the amount reported last year. The number of certificated teachers employed in Wesleyan day schools is 591 ; of assistant teachers, 42; and of pupil teachers, 899 ; an increase of 164 on the previous year. Twelve entirely new schools have been erected, and ten others commenced in existing buildings. Twenty-eight outfit grants have been made by the General Committee, amounting to £1,125. Of the students who completed the year's training at the Normal Institu tion 107 passed the Government examination ; of these 54 were sent to schools, making a total of 971 who have been trained at Westminster. The session of 1869 commenced with 132 studente. The statistics from the districts in May last slow that the year has been one of encouraging success. The number of scholars in the day schools was about 119,000, being an increase of 7,996, " Sunday Schools.— The number of schools was 5,328, an increase of 88 ; teachers, 103,441, an increase of 723; teachers in society, 77,0t9, an increase of. 348 ; scholars, 601,801, an increase of 19,781 ; scholars in society, 36,372, a decrease of 572 ; scholars in select classes, 18,881, an increase of 1,205 ; young persons not Sunday scholars in bible or catechumen classes conducted by ministers or others, 7,619, a decrease of 1,706. The number of Sunday school libraries is 2,050 ; of volumes in libraries, 517,619, an increase of 16,727 volumes. Readers, 86,927." Resolutions bearing on the question of Wesleyan edu cation were submitted to the meeting and passed. The first had reference to the use of. Methodist Catechisms in day and Sunday schools, the appointment of a minister to inspect and report on the state of day schools, and the establishing of Sunday-school unions in the various cir cuits. The second was respecting the new chapels to be Luilt in connection with the Westniinstes Training Col lege. After the resolution was moved by Sir F. Lycett, the Rev. Mr. Greaves was called upon to state the amounts received in aid of the object. The sum from the various circuits is at present over £9,200 towards £16,000. ICE. The Da*Ty Ncten has an interesting article upon Ice, which is especially readable at a time when the sun is broiling one. In America our contemporary reminds us they use ice continually—in rummer and in winter. The Yankee likes his drinks cold—English people like their liquors hot. But we are improving, and year by year larger quantities are sent from Norway to us. The method of reaping ice is a peculiar one. As the object is to obtain the blocks with the smallest amount of superfi cies, so as to present as little surface to the atmosphere as possible, it is excavated, if we may use the term, in right angled blocks. The surface of the spring -water frozen lake having been first swept, ploughs are used, to mark parallel lines of the width required, which are afterwards deepened to six inches. These lines are repeated at right angles, and the blocks, such as we see them in the fishmongers' 'windows, are then detached frcea each c.tl er by a slight tap of the ice wedge. The blocks so obtained a few years ago, before the trade had acquired any importance, were shipped off at once, and tl.erefore it was only during the spring season that tl e crop was to be procured. The im portance of the trade year by year becoming more evident, stores have been erected at the shipping plac es in Nor way, and now any quantity may be obtained throughout the year. The ice stores ail c nstructed in a very simple manner. Long sheds of deal are constructed, the walls and roofs having an interspace filled with sawdust. In these stores the blocks are placed one upon another like so much Cyclopean masonry, but instead of mortar sawdust is placed between them. Were it not for this means of separating them, the intense cold of the ice-house would freeze the blocks into one solid mass of ice, and all the trouble of cutting would have to be gone through again. But we cannot altogether dispense with home grown ice. During hard winters enormous quantities are gathered at home to supplement the Norway supply. Some of the ice merchants have stupendous wells in which it is stored, many of them holding more than 2,000 tons. Some of this lake and pond ice looks quite clear, but it can not be used wall food, because upon liquefac tion it often smells. It is not true, as is generally sur posed, that the act of freczinz eliminates from water all impure nmtter. It generally does extrude colouring matter, but not organic impurities ; indeed, such matters, although prevented from cleeomposiug by the cold, appear to decompose with redoubled energy imme diately the temperature is sufficient to melt the ice which holds them. This is the reason wby ice has not been suc cessful in bringing flesh from Australia. 'I he meat is taken from its congealed cabin quite fresh, but turns off almost immediately before it can possibly be delivered. Yet the matter deserves further attention. • The amount of Norway ice that annually comes to London m a y be roughly stated at thirty thousand tons. Its uses are varied. Independently of its use as a cooler of food and drinks, of late years it has been applied to a vast number of purposes in the arts and sciences, and in trading operations. Without ice•it would have been im possible to have laid the Atlantic Electric Cable. In order to secure a calm passage, without which it would have been impossible to have payed out the three thousand and odd miles of cable, the summer months were fixed upon for the operation, but the heat is so great at this time that the cable, coiled up in vast cisterns, would have lost its gutta percha covering by melting. To obviate this insuperable difficulty the coils were enclosed in surrounding tanks of ice, and in the most sultry weather the cable went over the stern, not withstanding the tremendous friction, as hard as a bar of iron. In the fishing trade ice is invaluable. Were it not for this preservative agent, during the hot summer months of last year not one pound of deep-sea -wate r fish would have reached Billingsgate. Indeed Yarmouth mackarel caught yesterday is riot so good as Norway mackarel that has been caught for ten days and brought over iced; bat then it must be eaten immediately the freezing element is withdrawn. Ice is also used by the naturalist to preserve his specimens. It is much valued in most hospitals. A Cußrous WAISTCOAT.—A man lately appeared in an Indiana town wearing a rest made out of the skins of ten rattlesnakes, part of a nest of 106 snakes killed in one day. A knowing traveller cut West, who had char tered half a bed at a crowded hotel, and was determined to have the best half, buckled a spur on his heel before turning in. His unfortunate sleeping partner bore the infliction as long as he could, and at last roared out, "Say, stranger, if you're a gentleman you ought to cut your toe nails." A promising young shaver of five or six years was reading his lesson at school one cloy, in the deliberate manner for which urchins of that age are somewhat remarkable. As lie proceeded with the task he carte upon the passage, " Keep thy tongue from evil and thy lips from guile." Master Hopeful drawled out, "Keep thy—tongue—from—evil—and—thy—lips—from —gi r l s ." INTELLIGIBLE.—A Dutchman once met an Irish man on a lonely highway. As they met, each smiled, thinking he knew the other. Pat, on seeing his mistake, remarked, with a look of disappointment, " Faith, an' I thought it was you, an' you thought it was me, an' it's nßythur of us."--The Dutchman replied, " Yaw, dat is dhru ; I am minder man, and you is not yourself ; we pe poth some other podies." TRUTH FILTERED OUT BY TRANSMISSION. Every day of my life Intakes me feel more and more how seldom a fact is accurately stated ; how alincst invariably when a story has passed through the mind of a third person it becomes, so far as regards the impression that it makes in further repetition, little better than a falsehood ; and ibis, ton, thuogh the narrator be the most truth-seeking person in existence.—N.

ON VIE WuErr.-- A few days two, when the great wheel Laxey, Isle of Man, was revolsing only occasionally, owing to the want of water, a gentleman waked up to the wheel, and seeing it standing still, be got over the protecting railing and on to the interior part of the wheel, with a view to a close inspection of its con struction. He bad scarcely got on to the wheel when it began to move, and in au instant, before he could get oil it, the ponderous piece of machinery was in full swing.
