DESTRUCTION OP THE STATE APART MENTS OF CUMBE.RLA.ND LODGE. Windsor was thrown into a state of excitement yesterday by the announcement of a fire at Cumberland Lodge. The fire was first discovered by Viscount Bridport about half-past nine o'clock. He and Viscountess Bridport and family are in residence at Cumberland Lodge. His lordship, on going out from the house into the grounds perceived smoke issuing from the roof of the prin cipal building containing the State apartments. This erection is of red brick, and consists of a central pavilion and hall, with two wings, in which were the splendid suite of State apartments, consisting of a drawing-room, billiard room, &c., containing -valuable furniture and paintings and other property. Immediately in the rear of this building, and connected with it, is the mansion of Viscount Bridport, while abutting on one end are the royal hunting stables. His lordship immediately ordered out the Cum berland Lodge engine, and despatched mounted mes sengers for others, and they speedily arrived. In the meanwhile his Royal Highness Prince Christian, attended by Colonel Gordon, had reached the fire, and with Lord Somerset, Lord Kilmarnock, and other officers of the 3rd Battalion Grenadier Guards, did good service in directing the energies of those engaged in removing the valuable fur niture and works of art, and subduing the fire. At noon the interior of the building was a mass of flames, confined within the shell formed by the massive walls. Such of the furniture and valuables as could be hastily rescued were got out, but the scenery from the private theatre at Windsor Castle, which was stored in the ball, was entirely consumed, as well as other property of great value. The excitement which prevailed was intense. Throngs of spectators crowded upon the open park in front of the burning building. Upon the lawn, within the iron fence opposite the mansion of Viscount Bridport, the furniture„ pictures, and valuables were placed, well out of the vicinity of the conflagration. By the active exertions of the Volun teer Fire Brigade, the conflagration was happily confined within the grand old building where it had commenced, although at sevral times the residence of Viscount and Viscountess Bridport was in imminent danger, owing to the direction of the wind. Her Majesty the Queen, who is now in residence at Windsor Castle, received an early intimation of the disastrous nature of the fire. Ths interior of the fine old building is gutted completely, and the beautifully-decorated State apartments de stroyed. Nothing but a ruin remains. It is extremely fortunate that the fire did not occur during the night, as, owing to the direction of the strong wind, and the rapidity and violence of the flames, Viscount Bridport's mansion, which is but another wing of the building, must have been involved in the conflagration, and the consequences disastrous in the extreme. Cumberland Lodge was called so from its having been the seat of William Duke of Cumberland, uncle to George 111. Her Majesty the Queen left the Castle in the afternoon, and visited Lord and Lady Bridport at Cumberland Lodge. Her Majesty, after viewing the scene of the conflagration, returned to the Castle. ROMANCE AND CRIME. On Saturday, in the Wolverhampton Police-court ; Francis Love was charged with stealing £lO5. Not many years ago Love was coachma n in a county family in the northern division of Staffordshire, where there were two daughters. The fellow was not bad looking, and he managed to win the affections of one of the young ladies, who ran away with him, and they became husband and wife. The other daughter was shortly afterwards married to a gen tleman who is now one of the members for an English county, and was amongst the batch of baronets made before the last Government left office. Love and his wife lived at Mossgate, near Longton. At Yarnfield, near to Newcastle-under-Lyme, a neighbouring town to Longton, there lives a farmer named George Plant. Plant is married, and his wife had been the widow of a Mr. Hyatt, of the came part of the Kingdom, who, upon his death, left her an annuity of about £2OO. A disagreement occurred between Mr. and Mrs. Plant, and they deter mined to separate. Mrs. Plant went to live with a brother who resides at Black Lake, which is close to Mossgate. An intimacy sprang up between her and Love, and they soon afterwards left together. By and by they found their way to Wolverhampton, where they took rooms in a low neighbourhood, known as Stafford-street, and furnished them, living together as man and wife. At about the beginning of the second week of last month over £lOO became due to Mrs. Plant, under the annuity of her first husband, and she and Love went together to Stone, in North Staffordshire, and received it. B,eturn ing with her paramour to Wolverhampton, Mrs. Plant deposited the money in a drawer, from which her allega tion is that Love took it, as well as her gold watch, and then decamped, she knew not whither. A warrant was issued, and his description given in the hue and Cry. He had gone to the United States, whence, however, he re turned, having spent only a few days in New York. He re appeared in Wolverhampton on Friday. After hearing at his former lodgings that Mrs. Plant had gone to Newcastle, and, determining to follow ber as quickly as possible, be went to a neighbouring eating-house to examine a rail way time table, Quite unaware that he was " wanted," he made no effort to conceal his identity. Under the pretence of searching for the time-table, the landlady, who knew of the warrant, kept him waiting till she had informed the police, and he was arrested. He was before the magistrates on Saturday, but the short period since his arrest had made it impossible for Mrs. Plant to attend, and he was remanded. The prisoner's age is somewhat over 30, and Mrs. Plant is quite eight years his senior. His liking for his new love did not last long, for he could not have been living with her more than six months before he ran away to America. LAW AND _POLICE. THE FACTORY Acrs.—A case has been tried in the Court of Queen's Bench, involving the question whether a slate quarry was a factory within the meaning of the Factory Acts. The defendant, Mr. Ashley, of Carnarvon, was charged with employing a boy in a certain manufac turing process without a certificate of age as required by the Act, and also with not having registered the name of the boy. The magistrates before whom the case was first brought dismissed the summons, and the complainant appealed. After hearing lengthened arguments, the court held that the decision of the magistrates was right, and ought 'to be upheld. Converting the slate into tiles to be used for roofing purposes was no doubt a manufacturing process, but it was incidental to the purpose of quarrying, and to which the legislature did not contemplate applying the term manufacturing process so as to bring it within the terms of the Factory Acts. Judgment affirmed. COUNTERFEIT COIN.—In the Court of Criminal Appeal the case of the Queen v. William Martin has been heard. The prisoner was convicted at the last Leeds summer assizes on the charge of being in possession of counterfeit coin, having been previously convicted of uttering counter feit coin. The question was whether the judge, Who tried the case, was right in refusing the evidence of a previous conviction. The court held that the evidence was rightly rejected, and gave judgment accordingly. SINGULAR CASE.—M. Julius Rochat, a watchmaker, trading under the name of John Barwise, Piccadilly, has been summoned at the Guildhall for obtaining nearly £2OO worth of watches under false pretences. He had obtained a large number of watches from a firm in Holborn, on the plea that he wanted them for shipment. The prosecutor afterwards drew bills upon the defendant, which were not yet due. Afterwards the defendant's creditors held a meeting, at which the prosecutor was present, and on inspecting the books was surprised to find no mention of the watches. The defendant, when questioned, confessed that he had not told him the truth about the shipment, that he had obtained the watches in order to pawn them for his rent and other things. For the defendant it was pleaded that the case should not have been brought into a criminal court, as it was only for a civil debt. Sir Robert Carden said it was a very difficult case, and he should re mand it for a week, taking bail. Tho Ulster United Protestant Banquet and Demon stration, which were to have taken place in the middle of October, but were adjourned in consequence of the Earl of Derby's illness, will come off on the Bth and 9th of Decem ber. The Duke of Manchester will preside at the banquet; the Duke of Abercorn at the demonstration. A MECHANICAL REGISTER OF DISTANCES.—The Council of the Society of Arts offer their silver medal for the best instrument, to be affixed to a cab or other hack ney carriage, for indicating the fare as between the pas senger and the driver, whether by registering the distance travelled or otherwise, and which instrument shall also indicate, for the cunvenience of the cab owner and of the driver, the total distance travelled during the day and the total amount earned. The instruments competing, with full descriptions of their construction, to be sent to the Society's house before January 1, 1870. THE NEW BISHOP OF CARLISLE. —Tile writ em powering the Dean and Chapter of Carlisle to elect a Bishop of the See of Carlisle, in lieu of the late Dr. Waldo grave, deceased, was received in Carlisle on Wednesday evening, and the Dean and Chapter held a special meeting on Friday for the purpose. The proceedings were formal, and resulted in the unanimous election of the Rev. Harvey Goodwin, Dean of Ely, to the vacant bishopric. The con secration of the now Bishop will probably be held in York Minster. but the date of that qfge4l9l l Y ha4not yet been fixed. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. ME PEABODY'S FURTHER , GIFT TO THE LONDON POOR. The total sum at the disposal of the trustees of the Peabody Fund has been raised, by the philanthro pist's last great donation, to the splendid total of half a million sterling. This large amount will provide means for a material supply of good dwellings for the London poor. It may be worth considering whether the trustees will not in the future be able to reach a lower strata, of the population than that which at present reaps the chief benefit of the fund. The trustees have beyond doubt achieved great results by putting it in the p o wer of poor men with families to obtain a suitable h a bitation at four or five shillings a week. But there is a poorer class still—respectable single women, and families with very small means, who would be content with less accommodation, provided they could get a yet cheaper rent. This want has been very strongly expressed of late, and is at least deserving of con sideration. THE A3IERICANS AND MR. PEABODY. The day on which the funeral service over Mr. Peabody's remains was solemnised in Westminster Abbey was a day of general mourning in the United States. All the public departrueuta were closed. An English frigate will not be the only guard of honour during the passage of the philanthropist's remains to the United States. admiral Radford, commanding the American fleet in European waters, has been ordered to detach vessels to convey the body to America. HR. GLADSTONE AT GUILDHALL. The weekly press takes a more hopeful view of Mr. Gladstone's last speech than did their daily contem poraries. The comments which immediately followed the Lord Mayor's banquet expressed surprise at the profound depression manifested in the Premier's tone and language ; the Saturday Review and the Spectator both agree that this so-called melancholy was merely earnestness. The former journal concludes that the Premier is confident of 'bringing the land ques tion to a settlement ; the latter comes to pre cisely the same decision. "Mr. Gladstone sees land." He would not have gone so far into the diagnosis of the disease unless he clearly perceived the proper remedy. "Ireland is disaffected ; one-fifth of her Majesty's subjects detest the laws under which they live, and the companionship in which they must abide—that is the truth always present to the Premier's mind, which he brings out even at a great festivity, repeating it over three times, and striving in every way to stamp it upon his hearers' minds, knowing that if he can but make the impress sufficiently deep, half his great task is done. The Times hints, and clubmen complain, that Mr. Gladstone is so terribly in earnest ; but great leaders in the midst of great battles, just when they see the full power of the enemy, and recognise the opportunity which will yield victory, usually are in earnest, and that is the Premier's position." The Irish papers, too, are pretty confident—that is to say, the Liberal section. The Conservative organs see nothing in the speech but bewilderment, hesita tion, and incipient defeat. But the Liberal press thinks it a masterly exposition of the state of Ireland. The tone of the Premier is understood to indicate a solemn conviction that a comprehensive measure is required to restore tranquillity and place the relations of property upon an amicable basis. THE ORACLE. The leading journal has hung fire wofully on the Land Question. After favouring the project of legalis ing the Ulster custom, it now turns round and declares that the Ulster custom will not furnish the proper remedy. Neither will fixity of tenure do. Both landlords and ten ants must be held in check. "We must be content now with pointing out that if our inves tigation be in any degree sound, the conclusion must be accepted that any intervention which does not act in restraint of both landlords and tenants must be futile." And what sort of a scheme will this be ? TUE IRISH MASTERSHIP OF THE ROLLS. It has at last been definitely decided that Mr. Sul livan, the present Irish Attorney-General, shall be made Master of the Dublin Bolls Court. So that eminent lawyer has preferred legal advance ment to political and parliamentary fame. It has all along been understood that lie was pressing hardly for the conferment of the Mastership upon him. But Mr. Gladstone was in want of him in Parliament, to help in the discussion on the Land Bill—to be, in fact, to the Liberals what Dr. Ball was to the Conservatives in the discussion on the Church Bill. Mr. Sullivan, however, refuses to hold that position. An Irish judgeship does not fall within a man's grasp very many times ; and he is determined to keep the bird while he has it in his hand. He will be able to draw up, and help in the completion of the Land Bill; but will retire from Parliament during its discussion. Mr. Waters, Q.C., brother in-law of the Lord Chancellor, is to contest in the Liberal interest the borough of Mallow, the repre sentation of which Mr. Sullivan must resign. If:: S'f I N 6 Next Tut.sday the w,:nination for Hastings will take place. There are still only two candidates, Mr. Robertson for the Conservatives, and Mr. Kay- Shuttleworth for the Liberals. Mr. Vickers, who threatened at one time to divide the Liberal interest, has thought better of it and retired. SOUTHWARK. The Spectator, presuming that Mr. Odger will be the working man's candidate for Southwark, strongly hopes that no middle class representative will offer to oppose him. " The last session sufficiently shewed how very much Parliament needs the aid of experi enced and able men of the working class, and it will he a fatal thing for the middle-class if it comes to be believed that they will not tolerate any mouthpiece taken from amongst a less wealthy section of society. That is the sort of belief which in time generates violent social rancours, and, in the end, hate of the comfortable classes." The Spectator's fears are just, but its hopes are in vain. There is not the slightest prospect that the disinterested middle-class Liberals will leave Southwark to the working men. THE PUNISHMENT OF BRIBERS. The Attorney-General has at last taken action against some of those who occupied a prominent part in corrupting the voters at Norwich last November. At Sir Robert Collier's instance, processes have been issued against Hardiment , llulme, Ban father, and a Mr. Edward Stracey. The last-named person, who is a son of Sir Henry Stracey, decamped some months since, before his evi dence could be taken ; some difficulty has therefore been experienced in serving the legal document upon him. This, however, has been got over by leaving the process at his last known residence. THE NAVAL COMMAND IN IRELAND. The death of Rear - Admiral Warden, C. 8., Commander-in-Chief of Ireland, places an important post vacant. The rumour goes that it is not to be tilled up. The story should not be implicitly relied upon, however. It is exceedingly unlikely that ,just now, while demands are being made for more effec tual security across St. George's Channel, and at a time when the press is discussing the advisability of sending more troops to Ireland—that any reduction will be made in the fighting staff of that country. Rear-Admiral Francis Scott is a candidate for the appointment. SERVICE ITEMS. The news of the Army, the Navy, and the Civil Service is very scanty this week. As to the Army there is literally nothing, except a denial of the report which we noticed a fortnight ago, of the abolition of battalion adjutancies of militia. The Navy may be men tioned in connection with the fact that the recruiting of sailor boys has been suspended in the London and Manchester districts ; and it may be added that much indignation is felt at the non , representation of the navy at the Lord Mayor's banquet the other day, when Mr. Childers, a civilian, had to return thanks for it.—The half-military, half sailor-like Marine Light Infantry are to have the Glengarry foraging cap and "chaco" supplied to them. MILITARY EDUCATION. Major. General De la Warr finds fault with the recommendations of the Royal Commission on Military Education. Ono provision stipulates that all cadets who pass the tests at Sandhurst shall have free commissions granted them. Another provides that the purchasers of direct commissions—those who buy their rank and go straight to the army without any attendance at college—are to be furnished with military instructors to teach them their duty. Is this just? asks the Major General. Ought the purchasers of direct commissions to have their rank and pay before learning their duties, whilst the students at Sandhurst must become pro ficient before they are classed as officers ? Under the system of free commissions to be gained by special training at Sandhurst, and direct admission by purchase without ally training at all, regi ments will henceforth consist of "real, genuine " officers understanding their work, and a vary ing number of apprentices, with the same rank and pay, at the expense of the country, learning it. Such a distinction cannot be kept up long. THE NEW BISHOPS. Two more of the new Bishops are gazetted. Dr. Wilberforce has only had time j ust to bid farewell to his clergy when the official announcement appears of his transference to Winchester. Lord A. C. Hervey's appointment to the Bishopric of Bath and Wells is also notified. The retiring Bishoy of Win chester retains Farnham Castle as his residence for the remainder of his life ; neither does the late ecclesiastical lord of Bath and Wells vacate his official mansion. So Dr. Wilberforce and Lord UervgY lYalhAvo_ish_Drovide their_ own liouses.

Bishops who provide their own houses can only be a grade above those who ride in gigs. THE 'WISHES OF THE FENIAN PRISONERS TO THEIR FRIENDS. A letter which ought to have some effect on the present amnesty agitation—we can hardly hope it will—has been published in Cork. The writer says he has been " commissioned by a friend who recently visited one of the political prisoners at Portland" to re quest onthe part of the incarcerated menthe cessation of all public demonstrations on their behalf. " The prisoner said that he and his fellow prisoners were convinced that public meetings wore only adding to their sufferings, and from the tone employed at nearly all of them by some of the speakers they had no hopes whatever of being released." The author of the letter goes on to urge that the Government cannot do anything that may look like submission under threat he therefore begs his countrymen not to be "guilty of the further suffering which their unfortunate fellow-countrymen will have to endure," through ill-advised ravings. limit to the advantages of rogucity. IT the — Arexican Government continues bnying itfl bonds, it will soon find the price rise. FOREIGN NOTES THE DISMEAMENT QtrESTIOIC Almost simultaneously the question of disarmament was introduced in the Prussian and Saxon Chambers ; but while the proposal of the Prussian Progressist party was rejected by 215 votes against 99, that of the Saxon Progressists was passed by 59 votes to 15. Such a vote is the more significant that it was preceded by the rejection of an amendment which desired that the Dresden Cabinet might first consider the safety and dignity of Germany. The Constitutionnel thinks it likely that the vigorous action of the Saxon deputies may reanimate in Prussia those popular demonstrations which supported the manifestation of the Progressists. Several provincial assemblies have already protested against the vote of the Chamber, and have declared that they entirely approve the idea of disarmament. South the present season. The number of merchants who flock to the North from Southern cities and large towns, and even villages, is very large, and constitutes a class of extensive retailers that have never before had an existence in that section of the country. When slavery was, the planter, of course, purchased the supplies for his whole community, and to do this went to the large iNholesale establishments in New Orleans, Charleston, &c., and bought a year's supply at a time. But with the freedom of the slaves and the growth of a class of peasant pro prietors, it became necessary to have at every cross road a " country store," where silks and calicoes, and spices and flour, and hardware could all be obtained over the same counter, and the proprietors of these shops find it for their interest to come North to purchase their various merchan dize. They bring the money with them, too. It will not always be so, for the South, regenerated, will produce, manufacture, and import these things herself ; and when that time comes we shall no longer have forced upon us the annual bugbear of a monetary demand to move the cotton ci op. Gold has been experimented on the past week for another rise, and has given rather discouraging results. On Friday of last week the tendency was decidedly bullish' and the Government sale of $1,000,000 was taken by ono man, W. R. Travers, at 131.15, and the highest prices of the day wore 1314. This bid of Travers', however, failed to produce much apprehension, and the price on Saturday fell off decidedly. On the following Tuesday tho Gc vernment sold $2,000,000 more, and got but from 130 to 130.07. The impending November interest and the gene ral reluctance of the street to engage in gold speculation will probably prevent the success of any immediate efforts in that direction. The abundance of cotton and grain bills also forbids any demand for bullion for export. Government Bonds are scarcely maintained, as will be seen by comparing the price at which Secretary Boutwell is able to purchase them. On Thursday of last week Fisk and Hatch sold to the Government $1,000,000 of 65's now . . for 115.20. On Wednesday of this week the same firm sold to the same customer $2,000,000 more for 114.58 to 114.68. These bonds are understood to be sold for the accuunt of some of the leading banks. The rates paid by the Government do not indicate the market price, because to them must be added the interest, but the relative difference in the premiums at the two sales is not affected by this consideration. This dullness in the bond market can only be explained by the present cheap ness of other securities. Southern State securities fur. nish a tolerable field for what little speculative talent is now employed in stocks, there is such a chance for im provement in Southern finances that it is so easy to start sensational stories in regard to them. Tennessees have risen to 54 with the defeat of Andrew Johnson, and North Carolina bonds have improved with the announcement that the State would buy up $4,000,000 of them for a school fund. The interest in the stock market is mostly confined to the consolidation of Wabash and Lake Shore under Vanderbilt's management. The stock of the latter road has advanced till it is up to 93k. The session of the directors of both roads at Cleveland has resulted accord ing to the latest advices in an arrangement for the conso lidation on the following basis:—The Lake Shore stock to be put in at par and the Wabash at 75 ; a dividend of 4 per cent. on the Lake Shore to be declared on the Ist Jan., and none on Wabash ; thereafter, all dividends to be equal in the two stocks. In pursuance of this ar rangement, the transfer books of the two companies will be closed about the Ist of November, to remain closed until the stockholders shall have voted on the proposition. The long deferred consolidation of New York Central and Hudson is again announced for next Monday, when the directors will again meet at Albany. An injunction is threatened by Fisk, whose Erie is very stagnant. North-West and St. Paul and Rock Island stocks are depressed by poor earnings. Dry goods have been dull and unsatisfactory for the past week. Prices are down, but buyers wait for a greater decline. Cotton and woollen goods suffer about equally, and dealers are begging the western farmers to sell their wheat and invest. The bulk of the business in imported goods is ever for the season so far as the trade out of New York is concerned, and importers are trying to close out their in voices of dress goods, but without any satisfactory results. Prices have been considerably reduced, and a good many lots that have been placed in the auction rooms have been withdrawn for lack of bidders. Importations have largely fallen off, and a large portion of the goods now arriving. especially dress goods and woollens, aro placed in bonded warehouses. (From the Wall-street Journal.) FRIDAY EVENING, October 29. Business in Wall-street continues very unsettled, and I there is little doing excepting in the clique stocks. The latest effect of the recent gold splurge has resulted in the resignation of Gen. Butterfield, Assistant-Treasurer, whose successor has not been appointed. Mr. C. N. Jordan, Re ceiver of the New York Gold Exchange Bank, yesterday rendered a statement of the affairs of the bank to the Su preme Court, preparatory to turning the bank over to the stockholders. The bank has $290,000 left of its capital and surplus—the capital was $500,000. It has claims against brokers for $174,000, of which amount it is esti mated $lOO,OOO are good. The unsettled or disputed claims against the bank, which, in the opinion of the Receiver, cannot ba maintained in law, amount to about $50,000. Money oa call is sluggish, and borrowers are readily sup plied at 5 to 6 per cont., with some exceptions from 4 to 7 per cent. Discounts are, however, difficult, and the high rates of 9 to 12 per cent. on high names still continue to be pai i. Gold has been vary heavy all the week, having fallen to 128, but the market to-day is stronger, having closed at 1281.

Of these only one had proved fatal. The disease has thus fully borne out its old and evil reputation. It is terrible; terrible chiefly because it causes weakness and suffering and other diseases, not because it is fatal in itself. The doctors say : It is a contagions fever, rarely appearing except as an epidemic ; frequently associated with epidemic typhus ; even more than typhus, the fever of the vagrant and un employed, and liable to occur at any age, and more than once in the same individual. It is marked by sudden invasion, rigors, headache, heat of skin, prostration, generally vomiting ; pulse and temperature almost at their highest on the first day of illness, rapidity of pulse not being (as in typhus) the measure of danger. It is called Relapsing Fever, because it reappears from time to time. The patient feels better after five or seven days; but when another week has elapsed the symptoms return, and for three days or thereabouts the patient is as ill as before. Sometimes a second or third relapse follows, but usually the disease finally disappears by the end of the third week. But numerous other maladies — lung congestion, inflammation, swollen joints, diarr hoea, and typhus—too often take advantage of the weakness which always follows Relapsing Fever. Another source of trouble is the lengthened period of convalescence which is necessary to recover strength. The disease most frequently attacks the poor, whom it incapacitates for weeks from earning their bread. Worst of all, the cause of the disease is just the one with which it is most difficult to grapple. Poverty and privation are the simple and formidable influences which spread this epidemic. Where destitution is, famine fever will be also; and destitution is everywhere. THE PEILMISSIVE BILL. -- ----- The working classes are evidently moving in the temperance cause. A large meeting of artisans and others was held in Westminster on Friday night. About 1,500 wore present, and several working men made speeches. A series of resolutions was adopted, pledging the meeting to the support of the Permis sive Bill principle as introduced to Parliament by Sir Wilfrid Lawson. Several of the speakers advocated the entire closing of public-houses both on week days and Sundays. TIIE REVIVALISTS. The "Revivers of British Industry," alias recipro city advocates—new Reciprocity being but old Protection writ large —do not seem to be getting it altogether their own way amongst the working classes. Their meetings aro disturbed by the presence of a large body, nearly equal to themselves in numbers, the leaders of whom dispute their position, deny the force of their argu ments, and question their statements. It may be guessed that the Revivers' demonstrations thus become lively affairs. At a meeting held on Friday at Shoreditch to denounce the free trade of this country, some members of the late Reform League attended, moved amendments to the resolu tions, and succeeded in carrying nearly half the meeting with them. Amidst consider able interruption, however, the reciprocity motion was declared to be passed. It ordered a petition to the Queen to be drawn up, " praying for the appointment of a committee, consisting of twelve judges, for the purpose of instituting an inquiry into the operation of free trade in this country." The terms of the petition are ambipous. Do the memorialists want twelve of her Majesty's law judges, Chancery or Common, to descend from the bench to settle the debated question ? Fanoy Sir Alexander Cockburn, in whose mind the question was answered. years ago, having to waste his time by taking evidence on the subject ! Sir Fitzroy Kelly, the Chief Baron of the Exchequer Court, would probably ascribe all the present distress to the malt tax. AN INHUMAN MAGISTRATE. The stipendiary magistrate at Worship-street Police-court is cruelly attempting to deprive the London poor of the line supply of diseased cow which charitable butchers and dairymen are hind enough to furnish. It has been the custom for cow keepers to sell for food all animals whose yield of milk is not sufficient to prove remunerative. A. cow afflicted with pleura pneumonia does not ( - rive a remunerative supply of milk ; ergo the London dairymen regularly sell their diseased cows for the meat market. But the inhuman magistrate at Worship-street has just fined a butcher forty shillings for offering as meat the flesh of two cows that had been slaughtered whilst suffering from pleuro-pneumonia. The Sanitary Inspector deposed that he found the meat " lean, wet, and unwholesome: " the Medical Officer of Health deposed that it was unfit for human food. Thus on the testimony of these two prejudiced persons, the butcher's property has been confiscated, and the supply of diseased cow has been cut off. The maos trate seems to have laboured under an uneasy im pression of the enormity of his proceedings. He fined the butcher only forty shillings. Some men have been committed to prison for a like offence. FRIENDLY SOCIETIES AND INSANITY. A deputation has just waited upon Mr. Tidd Pratt co ascertain the law respecting the payment of money by friendly societies in cases of insanity. The Registrar quoted two cases in the Court of Queen's. Bench in which it had been decided that insanity was not sickness, and that, therefore, it was illegal for the officer of any friendly society to make payment in the case of insanity, and any officer so doing would be personally liable for the misappro priation of the funds. The Act of Parliament which set forth the objects for which friendly societies might be formed made no mention of insanity. Moreover, it was generally found that members of friendly societies who became insane became paupers at the same time ; therefore if the societies were chargeable with their maintenance, they would be compelled to pay the amount of their liabilities to the uardians of the poor who had the care of the pauper lunatics. THE LUCKY BARONET. A. "Baronet that would be," who writes from the suggestive neighbourhood of Millbank, complains that through the want of a public prosecutor, Sir E. G. Culling Eardley has again been let loose on society. The baronet was charged with committing a fraud. The prosecutor, however, declined to pro ceed with the case as he had already " lost money enough by it." There being no public prosecutor, the fortunate, titled, and highly connected person was at once discharged. And yet it now appears that he confessed his crime to the constable who appre hended him ! How long must such things be P • A "PUBLIC MEETING." If great crimes have been done in the name .• liberty, extraordinary meanness is often the in the name of religion. An example of the lengti: to which passion and prejudice will carry men is furnished by the memorial. against Dr. Temple's ointment which Mr. Gladstone received as coming, from a "public meeting" at Whitby. It turned out that the " public meeting" consisted of sixteen per sons. Of these six were clergymen, one was a churchwarden, one a Scripture reader, two were newspaper reporters, and one was a personal attendant upon the rector, so that what were described as "the inhabitants of Whitby," numbered five persons. THE NORTH-EASTERN RAILWAY. ------ The scheme of the directors for consolidating the stocks of the North-Eastern Railway Company has been unanimously adopted at a general meeting of the shareholders. The proposal is to give new stock for £lOO of each sectional stock, to be allotted in the following proportions—Berwick being taken as the standard:—£loo of Berwick, to receive £lOO new. stock; York, 1:08; Leeds, £O5; Darlington, £130; Carlisle, £133 ; Malton and Driflield, £lO. £300,000 more capital will be required to carry out this plan of consolidation. A NEW WAY TO PAY OLD DEBTS. The financial doings of the Mexican Government are an example to all nations, and would confer credit upon the most astute city men, or even upon Mr. Fisk himself. Juarez's Ministry is rapidly buying up the discredited Mexican bonds, and cancelling them. No interest has been paid upon the Mexican debt since July 18(10, so that the interest is six half-years, or £9, in arrear. Th© price, including this £0 arrear of interest, has sunk from £lOO to about £l4 or loss. What can be better than the policy of the Mexican Government in buying those wretched bonds and thus paying ofl a debt of £lOO, including kio interest, with a sum of £l4 ? Here we have the whole art of finance. Our own debt amounts to £770,000,000. Lot us cease to pay the interest for a few years, and consols will soon got down so low that we can liquidate the whole sum by_ the intehAt say el. 71weis,_hcrattwex.s.. SPAIN. A private despatch from Spain states that the can didature of the Duke of Genoa is not proceeding in a very satisfactory manner, but the partisans of the Duke will not give up their efforts. Theis: open quarrel with the Unionists who follow Admiral Topete has greatly diminished their chance of success, and the pro ♦isional state of things in Spain does not seem likely to terminate. THE DALMATIAN INSURRECTION. The North-East Correspondence is of opinion that the Austrian troops will 'continue their offensive operations, but the Fremdenblatt of Vienna believes that nothing will be done this winter to check the rebellion in an effective manner. In the spring it will be far easier to take possession of the refractory districts without having recourse to fatiguing manoeuvres and exhausting struggles. In the Southern part of Dalmatia the rebellion is pretty well crushed. The Prince of Montenegro is said to have addressed a note to the Cabinet of Vienna, in which he declares that the laws of neutrality have been violated, through the balls which were directed against the insurgentshaving reached his ter ritory. A correspondent of a German paper states that the Prince has resolved to join the insurgents if the insurrection is not put down by the 15th of November. A great deal has been said with respect to the negotiations of the Aestrian Ministers with the Sublime Porte; but all that they have asked for in respect to the Dalmatian in surrection is,that the Porte should undertake to guard the frontiers of Herzegovina and Albania with a military force to prevent any succour reaching the enemy. Some officers from Agram who were formerly stationed at Cattaro have joined the army of operation, in order that they may act as mediators with the rebels. TUMMY. The Turkish Minister of War has submitted to the Sultan a new military law. Instead of 150,000 men, Turkey will henceforth have 200,000 soldiers in time of peace, and in war time 400,000. The reserve contains 300,000 men. The chief obstacle to this plan is the state of finan cial embarrassment in which the country is already placed , . It may well be asked, says the .2%reiv Free Press, against what enemy Turkey is preparing herself by the adoption of this scheme. The general conclusion to which the Great Powers have come as to the postponement of the Eastern question affords the best security for the Ottoman Empire, and it would be folly for its Government to commence complications of its own accord. It is telegraphed from Constantinople that the Khedive's reply to the Sultan, although couched in respectful terms, does not satisfactorily dispose of the fundamental question, but this contremps can hardly account for the project of increased armaments which has been treated of in the Vienna Press. The Sultan having definitely relinquished the idea of going to Egypt, all the preparations for his voyage have been suspended. According to a despatch from Constantinople it seems that the Sultan entertained the idea of departure up to the last moment, and that the Turkish Government looked upon the voyage as a settled thing. It must have been finally abandoned for political reasons. THE RECENT HIGH 'WAVES. The sea wall of the port of Oran, for a length of 800 metres, has just been completely destroyed by an immense tidal wave. During the preceding night the Mediter ranean had been raging with great violence, and at eleven in the morning a first breach, forty feet wide, was made, and from that moment the wall rapidly broke up. The spray from some of the waves reached a height of more than a hundred yards. Many vessels were for a time in great danger, but were at length moored to a place of safety. TILE DUILE OF EDINIMIRGII IN JAPAN. On the 4th of September the Duke of Edinburgh paid a visit to the Mikado of Japan at Yeddo, and was received with great honour. The Japanese in the street through which lie passed paid him an unexpected compliment, closing all their upper windows and sealing them with paper bands, that nono might look down on him. This is only done in Japan for the Sovereign or for a Daimio in his own capital, but no Japanese prince ever receives such a token of respect from his imperial master. The Mikado received his royal visitor in the great audience chamber in the castle on perfectly equal terms, both stand ing. The interview was short, the Mikado giving the Prince a cordial welcome to Japan, to which the visitor made a suitable reply, after which some of the Prince's suite were presented raid the interview terminated. Afterwards refreshments were served, and the Prince, with Admiral Keppel, Sir Harry Parkes, and his interpreter, was received by the Mikado in a pavilion in the palace gardens, The interpreter, who accompanied the Prince, was an Englishman, so that the Mikado for the first time heard his language spoken by a foreigner. The Duke of Edin burgh offered a splendid diamond snuffbox to the Mikado before leaving, and the Japanese ruler accepted the brilliant gift with evident satisfaction. THE COMMAND -IN-CHIEF OF THE INDIAN ARMIES. _ It is reported that on the retirement of Sir William Mansfield from the Command-in-Chief of the Bengal Army ho will be succeeded by Lord Napier of Magdala, who recently retired from the Bombay command. It is y economy. L or d Mayo and his C in contemplation to amal gamate the three armie s of Ben g al, so' as to effect an important piece erancsil of , and aiißitbay recommended that the Indian armies should be placed under one sole command. If this plan be adopted,e that the chief command will be off he is the next eligible officer. red o it to is rd moatN Napier, likely e r, as MONEY AND BUSINESS. (Frain the Spring field Republican, Oct. 30.) Wall-street is waiting for a new speculation, and mean time taking very low rates for money on call, not more than six or seven in currency and often being glad to get five. Commercial paper, however, is only negotiable at the high rates of 10 or 12 per cent. This discrepancy be tween street rates and bank rates is explained by the fact that the banks have not as yet recovered the confidence which characterized them before the recent smash, and which in those days had degenerated into recklessness. On the other hand the great amount of money that con stitutes the capital of that gigantic faro bank, the street, is comparatively idle in the absence of speculation, and is obtainable by borrowers at very low interest, but also for very sLott times. Fur the professional " operator" knoweth not how soon he may be called upon to again buckle on the armour of speculation and rush to boy ursine combats, wherein the man who has money to loan can perhaps exact from 300 to 700 per cent. He can afford to let it now for four on the Government collateral, if by ao doing he can have it well in hand for future loans that shall net him more in a day than peace prices would in months. If, however, the season for speculation should be for a long time delayed, the street would have small gains for its long pains and would bo driven to invest its capital more honourably and more profitably to the country at large. But speculation will continue to thrive so long as a speculative currency burdens the country, a point which we dwelt upon at greater length last week. The London Times of the 15th inst., commenting on the recent gold scandal in this country, expresses surprise that Secretary Boutwell should at such a ntoment think of funding the debt at a lower rate, and say; that everybody would accept the chance to sell United States securities and reinvest in the bonds of the South German States, which "in most cases nearly exceed the value of the remunerative railways for the construction of which they were issued." The Times evidently overestimates the importance of our little Wall-street circus of bulls and bears, but closes with a dictum that we may well heed : "As long as gold is not the standard currency of the United States, any attempt to reduce the interest of the bonds will result in failure, as they are only held in the present large quantities for their superior interest." Tile prospect for an easy money market throughout the rest of the year is very flattering. The New York hanks have just been through the purifying experi ence of a crisis and ale in a much better condition than at this time last year. rite crops meantime have been mov ing tin niselves without anybody's help, the exports of grain, es we Lave toticed, being largely in excess of last year, and the re3eipts of cotton at the ports teing already 100,000 balesallead of last year's. More of this cotton is shipped directly from Southern ports than for merly, and thus relives the New York market of a part of its financial burlet. In the cities of the West money is active, but not stritgent. Especially has it been easy within the last few days, previous to which there was some tension. Borrovers have been loss embarrassed at Chicago than at Cincnnati and St Louis, as the South is becoming quite a borewer at the last two cities. At New Orleans also there hat been some tendency to stringency, and small amounts of currency have been shipped thither, but in all the centres tbove named the exchange on Wed nesday was in favoir of New York. A very marked I change, by the way, is apparent in the business of the JOURNALIS URNALISM (From the Anglo-American Times.) The Revue des Deux Mondes has furnished a sub ject for discussion to the American Press in con junction with the establishment of a Professorship of Journalism as proposed by General LEE for his College at Lexington, Virginia. The French peri odical considers levity to be a conspicuous fault of journalists, the habit. too, of discussing things they do not understand, covering ignorance under a cloud of rhetoric. The New York Nation endorses M. BOISSIER'S opinion, but goes much further. The ideal now growing up embodies " the more igno rant, unscrupulous, slapdash, lively leaders, in which pop and fizz pass under the name of sparkle." " Indifference to the literal facts of a matter in dis cussing or in describing it, is looked on as one of the signs of peculiar fitness." In this ideal, too, profes sional " training" consists simply in acquiring readiness with the pen, first by paragraphing items, afterwards by reporting, and then by dashing off " reflections" on all sorts of subjects. Nothing is so much praised as the capacity for tickling the public, nothing so much belittled and laughed at as a de sire to instruct it. The criterion is sales; the really great journalist is he who can best adapt his wares, not to the intellectual and moral needs, but to the tastes of the greatest number, that is, to the least instructed portion of every community, and their strongest tastes are apt to be their lowest. The Spirit of the Times has an elaborate artice on " Journal ism as a Science." It considers journalism in Eng land in some respects to be a science, and not merely a calling, but that no such tribute can be paid to I the Press in Amecica. It is curious to observe in this able article the stress laid on the necessity for editorial impersonality, while the article itself is a mass of editorial personalities. BENNETT and the Herald are discussed; GREELEY and the Tribune; the late Mr. RAYMOND and the Times ; as well as Mr. BIGELOW, Mr. MARBLE, Mr. BONNER, Mr. BRYANT, Mr. BROOKS, Mr. SWAIN, who founded the Philadelphia Ledger, and Mr. G. W. CHILDS, its present proprietor ; Messrs. TILTON and PRENTICE, HALSTEAD, STOCKTON, WHITE, W ATTERSON, and many others, all mentioned individually, and their merits discussed as if they had written books, on the title-pages of which they had inscribed their names. He says no editor has a right to make his newspaper the absolute expression of his own opinions. He is an administrator, whose duty is to speak the truth so that it may be heard, but to do it on a close ob servance of the tides and currents of public opi nion, for there is a time for speech and a time for silence. The writer illustrates this by the street preacher, who mounts a barrel on a pier and howls to the stevedores and longshoresmen to prepare for death. They stop, look, laugh, and stroll away ; the preacher means well, and does well ; but the right thing at the wrong time. The Spirit is very severe on the servitude of the American Press to politicians. Nineteen-twentieths of the newspapers are used by men whose scheme of life is advance ment and profit by means of chicanery and false pretence. The newspaper is the theatre wherein the politician plays his part, walking over its columns like a comedian or a tragedian in an attitude. He is the "experienced statesman," or the "advanced Ra dical," or the "deep-thinking Conservative," or the "pronounced Unionist." Behind the scenes he remains ready to act any part, and steps to the front while the editor chants a Greek chorus of his virtues, his genius, his thrift, his watchfulness, his concern for the country. 4, Wherever partisan political influ ence extends, its effect is to prostrate and lower the tone of every newspaper that comes within its influence." Singularly enough both the Spirit in New York and the Newspaper Press in Lon don take precisely the same view, that great changes are hanging over the newspaper world, that the monopoly of telegraphic news to a few wealthy journals will soon cease, and that cheap ness will be one of the marked characteristics of the newspaper of the future. The American paper asserts that the cheap press will be the salvation of journalism. The American Press has returned to what it was thirty years ago, when a number of sprawling blanket sheets claimed to make public opinion. They were broken clown by the penny press. First, Mr. BEACH sold the Sun for a penny, Mr. BENNETT followed with the Herald for a penny, Mr. GREELEY with the Tribute, and Col. CummiNGs with the World. Mr. SWAIN went to Philadelphia and made his penny Ledger, and the consequence was that the blanket-sheets were sent to rest and wearied America no more, while the penny men of thirty years ago mounted the thrones whereon they now sit. But the war wrought a change, forcing the price again upwards, and the journals having tasted the sweets of the profits cannot bear to let them go. Seven New York dailies combine to bold a monopoly with a vast telegraph company, for gathering and selling news, which has a deadening influence in the security and apathy it engenders. " The great newspapers have become so many shops for making money, and all advancement, all growth, all development in the American Press has ceased, and what we read, and know, and think depends upon the magna nimity and the interests of Mr. J. W. SIMONTON !" But the same change which buried in oblivion the old blanket sheets is again in progress, and the great journals will be compelled to give way ; the struggle is between the Penny Press and the Asso ciated Press. The Newspaper Press of London un derstands that the conductors of the Times contem plate a reduction to secure their pre-eminence in the future. That organ of newspaper proprietors considers that the tendency of weeklies, especially in the provinces, is to abridge the general news, and to become more and more literary. The over grown reports of local meetings are now more con densed, and interesting or useful matter substituted. That class of paper in the future will be better written, varied in subject, and more carefully edited, smaller, but preserved as the past and pre sent county history. This cannot be done at once, for the proprietors neither will nor can pay for the literary labour ; but it must come, as no one will look to a weekly journal for such general news as is easily and cheaply procurable in the present dailies, and will be still more so in those of the future. The newspaper of . the future will be perfectly free. Its character will be higher; its tone better. Paper will be cheaper, and composition cheaper; for it will probably be done by machinery. Type and ink are now at fair prices. A larger sum will be paid to the literary employes whose brains are used in its production." But the interesting question relating to journalists regards their education. The Nation holds the idea that a man needs to be specially prepared at college to be nearly as erroneous as the idea that he can be prepared for his work in a newspaper office. Special education, it argues, is required by men whose calling forces them to deal with a certain class of facts. A journalist's business is to reason on all the facts of life, and of every class, or to know others who can. There is no recipe that will enable a man to do this. Good natural powers, strengthened by gene ral cultivation, will, but nothing else. The more a man knows of everything, and the better he can make deductions from what he knows, the better journalist he will be, if he possesses also the art of expressing himself in a taking way, as well as the orator's power of perceiving when he has said as much on any one theme as his audience will stand. The journalist's art lies in the expression, which is or ought to be taught to everybody, be ing neither more nor less than saying clearly and attractively what you have to say in as few words as possible. The rules which help to make a man perspicuous and concise are taught in all colleges, and enable anybody to speak and write better, but cannot enable any to speak and write well in default of natural ability. The science of journalism includes all sciences, inasmuch as it undertakes no less than to help the public at large to think correctly on every subject of human inte rest. Hence the Nation's conclusion, that a Special Chair of Journalism is an absurdity ; for what it can do is already in operation, and it is impotent to do more. We think the Spirit as well as the Nation too severe on the Press to which they belong ;—as York.ncu7spape r r o s, li t ti li c e ia b n e s st w i h n o th h e av w e or c l o d r , r a u r p e te t d h oesNe,eroyf everything they touch, have done all they can to degrade the Press, and editorial personality has done all it can to weaken Press power. Still American papers continue their steady advance, and gradually the Press will shake itself free from those pernicious influences. SPORTING PROPIIECIES. SHREWSBURY MEETING. " BELL'S LIFE."
