INING £l,OOO FRAUDULENTLY. At the Central Criminal Court, before the Recorder, William Walker Whelpley, a well-dressed man, was in dicted for obtaining £l,OOO by fraud, and also with forging an order for that amount.—Mr. Poland, who prosecuted, said that on the sth of August, the acccused ent to the Castle and Falcon Inn, Alders gate-street, and from there sent a letter to Messrs. Simpson and Mason, the well-known timber mer chants, asking them to send some one to him on business. A clerk was sent, and the prisoner, who said his name was Armstrong, stated that he had a quantity of timber coming from America, and he wanted an advance on tho bills of lading. Subsequently Mr. Mason, one of the partners, visited the accused, and after some conversation advanced £l,OOO. On the arrival of the ship Napoleon it was found that there was no timber on board, and such was the case when three other vessels, named by Whelpley as having the timber, arrived. Prior to receiving the money the accused handed to Mr. Mason a letter purporting to comp from corrc sponclent in America. The signature was an excellent imitation. On the 30th August Whelpley was taken into custody at his lodgings, where he was known as Walker, and on the prem;s2.3 being searched £-110 in gold and new jewellery worth £l2O was found. Some of the notes received by the prisoner, which Ind not been cashed, were given to a man named Beech, who had since gone to America for the purpose of cashing them, and he received £lOO for the business. The prisoner, who was defended by Mr. Montagu Williams, pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to seven years' penal servitude. A GUIDE STARVED TO DEATH. A melancholy death is reported from the lake district of Windermere. On Sunday morning a lady and gentle man, visitors to the English lakes, hired two ponies and a guide in order to ascend Coniston Old Man, a moun tain much frequented by tourists. The weather, however, was most threatening; nevertheless, the party started and ascended to the wildest part of this wild region. Here they were visited by a terrific storm of wind and rain ; the mountain became enveloped in a dense mist, and for a time everything was obscured. Ulti mately, though only for a minute or two, the storm passed over, and then, finding that to progress further was de cidedly inexpedient, the party determined to return to the valley. But this was an arrangement more easily con ceived than effected, and almost immediately another hurricane, of even greater severity than the former, came on, completely obscuring the path, and rendering the jour ney one of extreme danger. After a brief consultation, it was determined that the ponies should be abandoned to the guide, who was on foot, and that the lady and gentleman should endeavour to return alone. This was accordingly done, and the whole party started together; the storm continued with unabated fury—indeed, it grew worse, and the guide found it was impossible to convey the animals down the declivity ; hence he remained behind; while the others proceeded as best they could. Happily, they succeeded, after many hours' exposure to the tempest, in reaching the village of Coniston and their hotel. But not so the guide. Throughout the evening and the, night nothing was heard of him, and the intense fierceness of the storm and the utter darkness of the night entirely precluded the possibility of assistance being sent out. In the morning he had not returned. Apprehensions for his safety were then entertained, and the weather having moderated, a party was formed and despatched to the Old Man. In a short time, and after a brief search, the guide was dis covered lying quite dead upon the mountain side, with the two ponies standing beside him. It is supposed that, find ing it was impossible to return, the poor fellow had sat down on the ground, and, benumbed both with the cold and the rain, had fallen asleep and died of sheer exhaus tion. The storm of Sunday afternoon and night was one of the most severe ever known even in this wild region. LAW A.ND POLICE. A MAN THIRTY-SEVEN TINES CONVICTED.-At the Mid dlesex Sessions, on Tuesday. an old man, named Sheik Mahommed, a native of Bombay, was charged as a rogue and a vagabond. The mendicity officer said there were thirty-seven previous convictions against the prisoner. Mr. Serjeant Cox asked why he did not apply to the workhouse. The prisoner said they would not take him in. He tried to sell a few articles of scent, and matches, and the police took him into custody, He was sent to prison for nine months, an officer of the prison undertaking that he should be sent to the convales cent ward. DISPUTED ETIDENCE.—In the case of James Goodwin, tried at the ➢liddlesex Sessions, the judge, on Tuesday, adhered to the sentence which he had previously passed upon him. Notwithstanding the high testimonials given to the prisoner on the previous day, it was now shown by further evidence that the original statements of the police were correct. Under these circumstances, Mr. Scrjeant Cox_ confirmed the previous sentence of seven years' penal servitude. PROSECUTIONS AGAINST THE POLICE .—On Tuesday there were two prosecutions against members of tho police force in metropolitan police-courts. At Clerkenwell Henry Wingfield was charged with assaulting a man with his rattle. Evidence for the prosecution was given and the case adjourned. In the other case Joseph Beech was con victed in the penalty of 405., at Marlborough-street, for being drunk and assaulting Eis sergeant. FIRST CONVICTION UNDER TIIE PETROLEUM ACT.—At Guildhall, on Tuesday, Messrs. Thorowgood, of Cock,- lane, Giltspur-street, were summoned before Mr. Alderman Lusk for keeping petroleum on their premises, contrary to the Act of 1869. The City solicitor said that the defendants had on their premises a material called benzoline, :which gave off an inflammable gas at 53 deg. Fahrenheit, and was very dangerous to other premises. This was in contravention of the Petroleum Act, which rendered them liable to a penalty of £5O a day. He had, however, taken out a summons under the fourth section of the Act for keeping otherwise than for private use petroleum which gave off inflammable vapour at less than 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Mr. Thorow• good, jun., said, in defence, that they had applied for a license, which had ken refused. On a second application the Court cf Aldermen sent a man to examine the premises. This, man suggested, as a safeguard, the drilling of holes in the iron plates communi cating with the street which they had done and, hearing no more about it, they thought the Court had reconsidered its first decision. He had now removed all benzolino feom the premises. Alderman Lusk fined the defendant £5 and 2s. costa, which were at once paid. ASSAULTING A SERVA:.NT.—At the Isle of Wight Petty Sessions, the wife of Mr. Johnston, of Earrington-house, was summoned for having assaulted her servant. Eliza Elmsworth, the complainant, slated that her mistress was angry with her for letting her sister come to see her, and struck her with a knife, cutting her wrist. The defendant did not appear, and the magistrates were of opinion that the case was proved, as defendant's witness admitted endeavouring to compromise the matter. They inflicted a penalty of LI and costs. CRUELTY TO A DoG.—Three colliers were charged at Wakefield with ill-treating a dog. They were at a public house, and got into some dispute with the landlord. The latter went out and fetched in a bull-terrier' dog. The defendants threw pots and glasses at the dog, and struck him with the poker. The defence was that the landlord set the dog at them. The bench fined one defendant £l, and the others 13'4., and refused to allow the landlord his expenses, as they thought he brought the dog in to intimi date. At the meeting held at Clonmel on Sunday, in favour of the release of the Fenian prisoners, the follow. letter was read from Mr. Bagwell, who fills the past of High Sheriff of Tipperary, and is a son of the member for Clonmel :—"Sin,—ln reply to a letter for the Clonmel Amnesty Association, requesting my attendance at a meet ing to be held at two o'clock on the 19th instant, I must beg to state that it is contrary to my practice to transact any public business on a Sunday.—Your obedient servant, R. BAOWELL, High Sheriff." SANSCRIT MSS. RESEARCHES IN INDIA.—While the. Government of India are associated with the Asiatic Society in obtaining lists of Sanscrit 3188. in nativo "libraries existing in the Bennl prcsilency, ami engaged generally in unearthing Sanscrit works, tLe Government of Ceylon has .followed the example of that of India in directing a search to be made through out the island for ancient manucripts.

Tho municipal authorities of Aberdeen have received a letter from Mr. Gladstone, declining the freedom of the city and a public banquet. The Pre mier, replying to the invitation says :—" To be a citizen of Aberdeen and to sit in Aberdeen at a ban quet of my fellow-citizens are honours which I should greatly covet. But after a session which has been arduous beyond my strength, I find myself already engaged in the labour of preparation for another session likely to be not less arduous ; and ordinary prudence has combined with medical advice in leading me to feel that I must not, in cases where a choice can properly be given me, charge myself at present with engagements of a public nature." THE ELECTION COMMISSIONS. The Election Commissioners at Beverley are be ginning to be proud of, and to boast about, their powers of investigation. And not, perhaps, without reason; for they have been very accurate in tracing to its source the stream of gold which flowed into the borough during election time, to the curse of the inhabitants. From bribed to petty briber, from patty briber to the "mysterious stranger," from the "mysterious stranger to the agent, and from the agent to the person who " found " the money—the Commisioners have pursued their path of in quiry ; and though at times their work has been hard, they have now the full ratisfactien of having discovered the truth. The money did not "rise " very far from the candi date. At Bridgwater the living partner of Mr. Vanclerbyl has had to bear the blame ; at Beverley the weight is laid on Sir Henry Edward's dead partner. In 1857, when Sir Henry, then a plain Major, first contested the borough, Mr. Cronhelm, of Halifax, the managing clerk to the firm of Edwards, and private accountant to the Major, was sent down to Beverley by Captain Priestly Edwards, (who perished in the Abergelo catastrophe) and by the captain entrusted with £2,000 to spend in obtaining the Major's return. From inquiries he made he learnt that the election could not be won without bribery. He asked to be introduced to one who could be trusted with the money; he was made acquainted with the "mysterious stranger ;" and through him, and a Mr. Champneys, and others the sum of £2,000 was distributed. Thus far Mr. Cronhelm told the Commissioners to their evident satisfaction. They went on, however, to ask him for the many papers which his mani fold transactions must have caused. He replied that he had destroyed,burnt them all. Further questions elicited that this had been done by the advice of Mr. Spofrorth, the parliamentary agent of the Con servative party, Mr. Disraeli's "wire puller." All other documents relating to elections were destroyed directly there was a hint of the issue of a commission. And the hint was here also conveyed from Mr. Spofforth through Major Wodehouse, M.P. for Pontefract. Thus are matters managed behind the scenes of the political world ; such are the ways of men in high places. The revelations at Bridgwater are less startling. They are, indeed, hardly worth repeating, and may be summed up very shortly in the sentence :—Various persons received at the several elections bribes vary ing in amount from one pound to ten. THE ARCHBISHOPS AND THE DUKES' APPEAL. The Dublin Evening Mail does not look with favour on the appal given in another column from the two Archbishops of the Irish Church and the Dukes of Leinster and Dublin. Our contemporary says it has heard nothing of any movement of this kind or of authority being given by any Church meeting to any persons to solicit money for the Irish Church. The circular asks for contributions in Eng land as well as in Ireland. "If the circular be genuine —we shall gladly learn it is not—we cannot but consider the step to be ill-advised and premature. Many generous persons have properly signified their intention to subscribe to a Sustentation Fund; but an actual collection of money before the constitution and government of the Church are even shadowed out, would have the effect of hampering the deliberations of the Constituent Synod, not yet formed, and might place a very dangerous power in hands quite uncontrolled. On the other hand, if an appeal made prematurely should therefore fail, or but partially succeed, an argument would be afforded against commutation, which we may ob serve, is said to be looked upon with disfavour by the High Church section of the clergy. We must add that we should look with groat suspicion upon English moneys lodged in Coutts' or Farquimr's Ranks "subject to any such conditions as the contributors may attack.* If the amount of such benefactions were large, we can easily ima gine that it might b e ma d e a powerful means of pressure toward the imposition of conditions on the Church of Ire land which would be by no means agreeable to Irish Pro testants." IIIGII" SEILVICE AT 13RIGIITON. Mr. Purehas, the well-known Ritualist clergyman of Brighton, is evidently determined not to obey the law unless forced to do so. lie still uses incense, elevates the paten and the cup above his hParl, in the Communion Servi ce , an d uses li g h ted candles on the Communion table. The reporter of the Record who gives us this information together with a great deal more, seems to have gone through great martyrdom to obtain it. The occasion on which he visited Mr. Purchas's church was a harvest thanksgiving. Reporters were ordered to be excluded ; but the Record representative went to a solicitor about the matter, and obtained the pleasing assurance that he could not be kept out. In, therefore, he boldly pushed, and got a good scat; albeit a brother press man was put between two of the "faithful" to prevent him from taking notes. The Record, how ever, gives its r ea d ers a co l umn of the description of the music, the flowers, the banners, the numerous candles, the eucharistic vestments, the changes of posture, position, &c. But the important point is that INIr. Purchas disrega r d e d th e l aw l a i d down b y the Privy Council. He mixed wat er w ith th e w i ne , and raised both the chalice and the bread. "high above his head," the church bell sounded ; and all, "devoutly kneeling," worshipped. TRADES UNIONS. Mr. Georgo Odger enters the lists against tEo Time 3, whi c h, in a recent article declared that tha woriong classes, as representedtneir trades unions, are Protectionists to a man," and spoke of a move ment going on among them which would bring Messrs. Cobden and Brig-hes great principle of Free Trade again into question. Possessed of an extensive and intimate acquaintance with . tho leading trades unions in England, and with members of trades unions generally, Mr. Odger has no hesitation in declaring that of the thousands of trades societies existing in this country not one of them, as a society, is in favour of Protection. Nor is ho less certain that there is not one leading man in those societies anxious to sot up again the old idol that was tumbled to the ground by the efforts of Cobden and Bright. That there are Protectionists amongst working men is not denied, and it is admitted that there aro a great many who do not believe that freedom in trade, any more than freedom in anything else, means the entire absence of regulation and control. " They wish for a wise, and, in that sense, a beneficial reciprocity in trade, and not for an unwise and therefore injurious monopoly. And they do not consider themselves shut up by Mr. Cobden's French Treaty, or by any other treaty or law, from seeking to make men reciprocities honest interchanges of mutual good." They are not for this reason, it is urged, to be regarded as likely to interfere to any serious ext en t wit h t h e commercial policy advocated by Richard Cobden, or with the annual rejoicings of the Cobden Club. The agreement entered into at Basle by the trades unionists at the International Cont. - , , reas to the effect that they would never rise above the level of workmen and that they 'Would pursue the class above them "to the death with unrelenting enmity," sets forth doctrines •which Mr. Odgers says are quite new to him, and to all with whom he has worked as a trades unionist. APPREHENDED lIIGII TIDE. The numerous inquiries that have been addressed to Professor Airy on the subject of the apprehended high tido on the 6th of next month have called forth an important letter from the Royal Observatory, Greenwich. The Admiralty, we are told, annually publishes a collection of tide-tables predicting the time and height of high water at numerous ports for tho two tides of every day of the year. These tables,' Professor Airy has always understood, take into account most accurately all the effects of the moon's proximity to the earth, the moon's small declination front the equator, the moon's angular distance from the sun, and other circumstances Which can affect the tides.. On examininf, them it is found that though the tide . of the 6th ofOctober (the afternoon tide for Fal mouth, Devonport, Scc., but occurring at a later time for tho successive ports up to London) is the highest of the year, it is only one inch higher than the tide of the 28th of February, which did no mischief. Professor Airy thinks, therefore, that thero is not the smallest ground for alarm in the height of the approach ing, tide, as depending on the positions of the sun and moon. The most injurious tides, he adds, are those which follow a continuance of heavy westerly, or north-v. - csterly winds bn the Atlantic. WEATHER AND HEALITI. The medical officer of health filr TAling-ton. T)r. Ballard, has for tvirelve years recorded the effects ot high and low temperature, wet and dry weather upon ).health. The general results at which he has arrived are, that the fluctuations of sickness from week to week are mainly dependent upon the variations of temperature and the occurrence of drought or rainfall. In 1867 the sickly winter was, cold and comparatively dry, the spring, after April had closed, warm, the summer not hot until towards its close, and the autumn com pqratively cold. Last year, which was without parallel for sickness in all the - Welt°, was without parallel also for its uniformly Wail. loumerature. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING,. SEP:I7EI%II3ER 22, 1869. rainful, and atmospheric. dfyne§s. The variation of sickness with fluctuations in temperature is, Dr. Ballard has found, more decided in the colder than in the warmer seasons of the year, and in the spring and in the end of the summer the rule ceases to apply. THE LATE BISHOP OF EXETER. Sir George Bowyer recalls an anecdote of the late Bishop of Exeter. . Before the former became a Roman Catholic he used frequently to be consulted by the deceased prelate on matters of canon law. In one of their conferences, more than twenty years ago, the bishop used these words, "The Irish Church must go. It is doomed, and nothing can save it, and if we don't keep clear of it we shall go too." The fulfilment of the prophecy of Henry of Exeter and the close of his life were very near together. LODGERS' VOTES. One of the metropolitan revising barristers, Mr. Bacon, holding his Registration Court in St. Pancras, has decided a novel point. Part of the premises in the occupation of a lodger were sub-let by him. But though he received rent from the portion which he did not himself occupy, the lodger paid an amount for rent which, under ordinary circumstances, would entitle him to a vote. On the ,n•round, however, that the Act required that the lodger must be tho " sole tenant of the premises in respect of which he claims, Mr. Bacon struck oil the name of the appli cant. DIMADHEAD. The public history of William Broadhead; of Sheffield, is now complete • and thrilling enough it is. From prosperity h e ha s fallen to beggin g . Not long ago he was the moving spi r it o f th e local trades' union ; he was a merciless king over a body of workmen. Whosoever disobeyed his law was warned, disabled, even murdered. But the terrors of his rule caused a cry ; the cry led to inquiry; and from with 1 success the tyrant of Sheffield fell to be a loathed creature. The magistrates would not renew the license for his public-house, and he took a beer shop. But now a change in the law has brought that also under magisterial control, and Broad head is not considered fit for such a position. The other day he tried to raise sympathy on his behalf; but failing, he has determined to leave the country, and yesterday a letter appeared from him in tho local paper which a few months since denounced him, begging for money to enable him to go to another land. His is certainly one of the strangest histories of these later years. AN EXPENSIVE VISIT. Two friends took private lodgings at Doncaster last week for the four days over which the races extended. On one of the evenings they had an acquaintance to dine with them, but no addition was made to the dinner in consequence. When about to leave a bill of £l6 lls. 6d. was presented for pay ment. One of the victims of this fleecing operation gives the various items of the account in the Times, regretting that the necessaries of life should he so scarce in Yorkshire, and feeling for the inhabitants of Doncaster, who, if those items are in accordance with market prices, have to vay about eleven shillings a pound for their tea. The bill was eventually dis charged with a reduction of seventeen shillings. AWNINGS FOIL OMNIBUSES, A correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, moved by the sight of the unhappy " City men " sitting on the knifeboards of omnibuses in wet weather, and seeking to shelter themselves under umbrellas which are not so effectual in keeping the rain off their owners a s i n pouring it down the backs of other people, suggests that the tops of omnibuses should be protected by awnings. At present it is difficult to go about in wet weather without incurring great expense by taki ng a cab, or extreme discomort by taking an omnibus, and the horrors of a full omnibus on a wet day are not to be lightly encountered, The plan proposed might be tried at comparatively little cost. THE DENOMINATIONAL SYSTEM. The Rev. John Oakley, the Vicar of St. Saviour's, Hoxton, formerly secretary of the London Diocesan Board of Education, has written a long and forcible letter to the secretary of the National Education League, objecting to some points in the pro gramme of the now society. He is a believer in compulsory education, but upholds the denominational system. Parents, he thinks, will not accept purely secular education. To render State aid to such schools only, would be to give an unfair start, an advantage to those schools over others. For they would in truth be denomi national, though they would call themselves " secular." He thinks it unfair, too, to demand that all schools receiving Government aid should be free. He suggests that grants should still be Meade to thoso which do charge far the education given. FOREIGN NOTES. TEE SOITTIIERN STATES OP GERMAN?. The 2rational Gazette, of Berlin, devotes a long article to the consideration of the chances which Prussia has of seeing the Southern States of Germany entering into the Northern Confederation. The Ga:dte does not think it likely that either Wfirtemburg or Bavaria would be willing to give in their adhesion yet awhile, but as for Baden, that is another question, and it looks forward with confidence to the realisation of the wish. It urges on its friends in the Baden territory to hasten the time when the bonds which unite Prussia and the Grand Duchy will be strengthened. TIIE DELGIAN FETES. On Sunday the Belgian Fetes were formally opened ; the day was the festival of Bishop Lambert, the 1 - atran saint of Liege. The whole line of route was tastefully decorated, and triumphal arches were erected in the most prominent places. Great skill was displayed in the various arrange ments, and no expense, private or public, was spared to do honour to the interesting occasion. The first event of the day was the arrival of the French Guarde Nationale, and at seven in the morning crowds assembled at - the railway station to welcome them to Liege. One hundred and fifty English volunteers marched to the spot to pay their respects to their French confreres. A large number of Belgian officers of rank were present with the burgomaster. The National Guard were 900 strong ; they were received by the burgomaster and Colonel Thomson in the name of the English volunteers, who gave them a hearty welcome. The band of the Guard played " God save the Queen," the " Bra.bancone," and, at the request of the Belgians and English, " Partant pour la Syrie." The grand procession formed at half-post ten; a battalion cf Chasseurs came first, then the Societies who took part in the affair. The Garde Civique, of Liege followed, and the foreign corps, the Belgian corps being the last. The order in which the foreign corps were placed in the march and through the review was determined by lot. At ten o'clock the English volunteers assembled in the Place des Guillemins, and divine service was performed by the minister of the Protestant Church in Brussels. At the conclusion of the service Colonel Thomson rna'ce some remarks, and intimated that he would resign the command to Colonel Wilkinson. Colonel Wilkinson, however, declined the honour which Colonel Thompson had so well earned, and said he would cheer fully act under his gallant friend. The brigade was then marched off to the place of rendezvous. The morning was fortunately fine, and the scene was most exciting and interesting. At the Hotel de Vile the Burgomaster addressed the assembly, and said they were welcome to the city of Liege. He looked upon them as modern chivalry, more noble than the ancient, for their deal was peace. He hailed them as the precursors of a new era, and considered that day to be one of the great days of history. The medals were then . distributed to the volunteers by ladies, and the vie d'honncur was paxtaken of. The English mus tered 1,200 men, and the French 900. The other nations of Europe were not numerously represented. In the middle of the day there were some heavy showers, but in the evening the weather again became clear. Various amusements were provided for the evening, and illuminations took place. TIIII SUEZ CANAL. Nubar Pacha and ➢I. de Lesseps left Alexandria on the 19th instant by the mail steamer, the Nile, which also con voyed a number of passengers, chiefly artists and work men, who were to assist at the inauguration cf the Suez Canal. Prince Amadeus, the admiral, arrived at Alexan dria with the Italian fleet on the 20th instant. TILE INDIAN COTTON CROP. Tho prospects of the cotton crop in India are favourable this year. The cultivation has been extended owing to the delay in the rainy season in Central and - Western India, as cotton, being a hardy crop, was sown in many places instead of millet. This will be an advantage to the cotton trade whatever it may be to the food supply. The long-delayed rain came just in time for the cotton crop,which is expected to be very fine. Last year's export vas the largest ever sent from India. It amounted to 697,630,976 pounds, and was valued at over twenty but so recently as 18.70-GO the value cf the exiort was little mere then five ILilliens and a half. The Bombay Government e:: - presses regret at the inc . :n:l.lc of aclulterltion and Laud in the trade, owing to the ineffi ciency of the Act. This is an evil which calls for atten tion, the more so as it is a drawback from which . Indian cotton has always suffered. Tho Bombay Government expresses the satisfaction with which it perceives the systematic attempts to improve the cultivation. It may well be asked why such attempts were not made a little earlier. They have been so quickly repaid that in a single decade the value of the exports has increased fourfold. AMLEICAN SECRETARY OF WAR. The death of Secretary Rawlins has caused very general regret through the 'United States. He was 33 years of age, and died from an attack of inflammation. He tlakipm_2t . spor parents in Illinois, and was only at school for eight months. After working as a charcoal burner, he went to the bar. He was at one time opposed to the war, but afterwards joined General Grant. He dis played great talents for military control, and was consi dered the most thorough Adjutant-General of the army He understood all the working of large armies through the military education which he gave himself. Whcn Grant became President he appointed Rawlins his Secretary of War. This was the only Cabinet appointment which gave general satisfaction to the Republicans and Democrats. During the short time General Rawlins conducted the affairs of the army he-succeeded admirably. He was actuated by the most conscientious motives, and his private cha racter corresponded with his public capacity. He left his family . badly provided for, but subscriptions are being raised at Washington to provide for their necessities. The body of the deceased General was laid in state and attended by military guards. A large number of persons paid their respects to his memory on this sad occasion. It is thought that his funeral will be one of the most solemn and impressive ever witnessed in the city of Washing ton. The Mayor has issued a proclamation closing the municipal offices, and it is expected that all business will be suspended. AMERICAN IIvDEBTEDNESS TO EUROPE (From the Anglo-American Times.) There has been much lamentation in America over the disparity in value between the national exports and imports, the excess of the latter being sup posed to lead to an accumulating interest-bearing debt in the hands of foreigners. The subject has led to discussion in Europe, as well as in the United States, and it has not unfrequently been used as a means to alarm the bondholders and the proprie tors of American Securities generally. From the Eng lish view the Republic is represented as a family living on its capital, therefore bound soon to come to grief, on which the debtors must, of course, be left out in the cold ; hence the argument that it is not wise to extend credit to the citizens of the United States. In America the same view is taken, with this dif ference„ that-the foreigner is looked upon as ex changing gewgaws for substantial Securities, where by the veryvitals of the nation are consumed to pam per a luxurious class. Each side while regarding them selves as the victims arrive at the conclusion that the United States, living beyond its means, must even tually become bankrupt. Yet, though this appears so on the surface, it is but a superficial view, leading to erroneous conclusions. That champagnes and clarets, silks and laces, decorations, and objets de luxe figure largely in the list of imports is true, and we have no hesitation in saying that it will be a bad day for the United States when they cease to do so. The taste and ingenuity, the art and lite rature of nations should, and, we hope, must, always be exchanged, as well as the luxuries they all produce ; indeed, it would be difficult to draw the line where an article passes from a necessity to a Superfluity, where a silk should not take the place of a gingham. Nor, in this narrow view of the commercial exchanges, should it fail to be ob served that a great staple product of America, largely exported to Europe, not only ends in smoke, but leaves as a residue a deadly poison, and Europe may well question whether she exports to the United States any such pernicious luxury as she receives in tobacco. But the tables of fi gures do not truthfully show the business between the Continents ; and while we admit the growth of American indebtedness to Europe, we believe that the transactions which eventuate in this debt are profitable to both, but more especially so to the United States. All great financial transactions between the countries are, as a rule, made up of a multiplicity of small affairs between individuals ; so that it becomes difficult to trace how the producer of a bottle of champagne eventually receives pay ment in a United States Bond or in the stock of a railway. In a young and fertile country, where much land remains in a state of nature, money is far more valuable than in the older centres of commerce, where it has a tendency to accumulate in unproductive heaps. The drift of this capital always will be to the undeveloped country, where it can be employed most profitably both to the owner and borrower. The yearly accumulation of indebted ness of America to Europe is simply in obedience to this law, and unless disturbed by a convulsion, or an act of national dishonesty, the flow of Euro pean capital to America will go on increasing alike to the benefit of both Continents. While using the word " alike," it is not meant that each equally benefits, for the gain to the United States is much greater than to Europe, notwithstanding the bowls of gloomy forebodings raised in the Republic. Women who will wear French silks instead of the cottons of Massachusetts ; men who will drink French wines and wear English broad-cloths in stead of consuming the products of their country, pay for them out of their own pockets, and, as a rule, can afford to do so from their savings. The money gathered for them by the storekeeper is fre quently remitted to France or England in the shape of such bonds as sell best on the Bourses of these countries ; but with these remittances are likewise coupled the payments for railway iron, andforvarietya goods put into work for the development of t f he o country. The money received by the storekeeper in payment for the foreign articles remains in America, as a settlement has been made in the shape of certificates of indebtedness, where the cash is used in industrial and profitable works. Into the transactions through which the bonds and stocks reach European strong boxes, a consumption cer tainly enters of vanishing luxuries and gewgaws, but the preponderance of the imports are of a sub stantial and improving character. For instance, in the article of iron rails alone, for the first half of this year there were exported from England to the United States 168,348 tons. Besides the iron, for many months a thousand men and women from Europe daily landed in the Republic—people to lay these rails, to populate and cultivate the waste places over which the road passed. Poor though they may be, each carried a small sum in hard cash, which aggregated a vast influx of coin, to be relied on by the United States as surely as on the receipts from an income tax. Though the iron is represented in official returns, and goes to swell American indebtedness, the other, of infinitely greater importance, remains unnoticed, and in the face of this notorious fact we ask what is the real value of the lamentations over tables which show in appearance a balance in the commerce with Europe against the United States, when the balance, viewed even from the complainant's point of view, is really in favour of the Republic ? If the bone and sinew, as well as the savings, of Europe find their way in large proportions to the United States, astheynnioubtedly do, the question for the ruination theorists to consider is, what does Europe get in re turn? We answer dividends on successful ventures, and interest on the national bonds Europeans pur chase from American citizens who prefer more pro fitable investments at home. In the latter case the money loaned- to the Government is returned by a foreigner for a citizen to carry out local and other profitable works, or to develope a useful and pay ing business. In the former case the risk is nearly all to Europe ; the gain, mostly to America. Cin cinnati, say, is desirous of constructing a railway to Chattanooga, and Chattanooga to the sea, when a sort of Mississippi would be opened through Ken tucky, Tennessee, and other States. if a main por tion of the capital be derived from Europe, and the work be completed, in what position stand the European proprietors ? Supposing the venture to turn out very profitably, they will receive a good interest on their money, and foreign indebtedness will be increased, through the bundles of valuable stock thus created. Supposing, however, that it does not pay, that it has been financed out of exis tence, that it has been mismanaged and plundered, or that it is through a country which it will take long years to develope before it can become profit able ; then the European stockholder has simply lost his money, although America has gained ; and it is hopelessly gone, as he cannot extract from that road the gold put into it. Yet the work remains; over the rails run trains ; and Kentucky, Tennessee, and ees u on the Take, c other enterprise multipliesa t n o d ; hand, eh t ei h n e ao c uh a n s i get country along lgornege America. suthce: Suppose suc cessful ;traffic a ling becomes settled, when everything in the State feels-the beneficial Influence while to the foreign • creators of all this good comes only a small portion L, of the surplus. But, suppose the case to be the reverse ; that the undertaking does not pay in what degree is America injured ? A work has been constructed which has caused much money of foreigners to be spread in the locality ; the railroad, the canal are completed, and the inhabitants have a new road or a new means of traffic brought to their doors. If the conditions on which the money was lent be not observed, what remedy have the foreign mortgagees ? They cannot pack up the road or canal as does a Punch-and-Judy showman, and carry it away to where it would be more profitable; there it must remain for the inhabitants to use, and for the development of the country, whether it greater portion of the Northern Island ; the former is unquestionably the manly way, but the colony unaided could not pursue it ; hence the neces sity of procuring the assistance of the home Govern ment. This is generally admitted by all writers ; and sad experience has taught the New Zealanders that their pride and impatience with the Imperial officers which led them to reply to the despatches of the British Ministers—" We decline to r ay the contingent asked ; remove your troops, and cease to interfere in native affairs "—was more petulant than prudent. The question of interest is whether the Imperial Government will respond, for on it hinges more or less the integrity of the British Empire. The resolutions merely state the public belief in affirming that the greater portion of the Northern Island must be Abandoned, or that England must thus far aid the colonists. If her Majesty's Government declines this assistance, it proclaims to the Empire that each portion—that is every settlement of British emigrants comprised within a Government--being practicallyindependent, must rely on itself for defence, and maintain its own progress and existence or become extinct. If a por tion of New Zealand has to be abandoned, and for the first time in the history of the Anglo-Saxon race it retires before the savage, under similar circum ' stances the Cape will be abandoned, Australia, or Canada. The connection, then, dissolves, and a war wherein England engages must become the signal for a general declaration of independence. This argument is conclusive : "if England does not adhere to us in our difficulty, it is not for us to cleave to her in her difficulty; if she will make no sacrifice for us, there is no reason why we should for her ; and unless we declare our independence our commerce will be cut to pieces by her enemies, and our coasts ravaged by their ships." This is practically the question involved ; hence it becomes of world-wide interest ; for there is an evident struggle in the English mind, and on the result may hinge vast changes. From recent articles in leading journals we perceive that the people are becoming aroused to the importance of the quess tion—Shall the empire on which the sun never sets dissolve like snow on a hot day when he has attained the meridian ? or, shall these widely separated pro vinces be welded together and held in a community of interest and sympathy, scattered, yet united, and amalgamated for offence and defence ? Many Eng lishmen believe the latter to be possible, and the progress of science would have really made it so had not the narrow insular prejudice to which we have so frevently alluded not marred the great destiny otherwise so certain. To these resolutions, which have in some shape or other been embodied by the New Zealand Ministry, and submitted to her Majesty's Government, will come the practical answer to the question. Mr. Wilson discusses it from a fair, impartial standpoint. "I have used," he says, " the phrase ' home', for I have regarded home," England,' and' mother country' as syno nymous, and while I continue to do that, I cannot believe that all assistance will be denied. While we call England home, I will not think so ill of her Majesty's Ministers as to believe they can desert us altogether." He argued that the great heart of the English will not permit this, but force their will on a reluctant Ministry,as they have often done before. Nor would the investors of £15,000,000 of money sit quietly and see it and them driven into the sea. On the other hand, Mr. Wilson acknowledges that New Zealand bad been petulant and absurdly proud ; the colony had cost the mother country a great deal ; she had been a troublesome child, and in reviewing the connection this should not be overlooked. The general feeling was, he admitted, that it was next to useless to send Commissioners home, for that no as sistance would be given. Still the House was not in a position to weigh accurately the circumstances under which the measure would come before her Majesty's Ministers. It is not now a mere New Zealand question, but one of paramount Imperial interest, into which other calculations than those affecting the settlers must largely enter. To the New Zealanders the question of success or failure in crushing the native rebellion is that of deepest interest. New Zealand consists of two main islands—the Northern, about as large as Ire land, to which all these troubles are confined ; and the Southern, or Middle, as it was erroneonsly called, little less in extent than Great Britain, which, till the late heavy fall in the price of wool and these Maori wars, was among the most prosperous and progressive of countries. Probably the Maories do not number 30,000, while the settlers in the Northern Island alone are twice as numerous. Nor are the natives all open enemies, for many not only profess friendship, but take service on the side of the colonists. The difficulty of the war is three fold. (1.) The steep, mountainous, and densely wooded character of the country, without roads, and in a pure state of nature. (2.) The canfiguration of the country, by which the natives hold the interior lines of the island, operating at pleasure against the settlements scattered along its outer rim on the coast. (3.) The great bravery, intelligence, and warlike qualities of the savages, which enable them to ap preciate and use to the utmost their advantages. At the same time the Maories operate against two main disadvantages ; the one is the want of ammu nition ; the other a constitutional unfitness for a long-continued strain, together with the here ditary enmity of tribes. Maori intelligence has taught them that, to war against the colonists with a chance of success, they must unite, and that the first step towards union is to arm one man with authority ; hence, the King movement which for years has shadowed lamentation and woe to the settlers. The plan of operations conceived by Gen. Cameron, but which fell through in the bicker ing and squabbling of the Imperial officers forming one party ; of Bishop Selwyn and the missionaries who constituted a second ; and of the colonists and their government making a third, was to occupy the centre of the island near Lake Taupo with a strong force, when the key of the position hitherto held by the Maories would be in the hands of her Majesty's forces. Attempts were made to establish military colonies as he proceeded, but with what result we cannot tell. The true course is a broad, well-con structed military road across the island, with a strong military settlement at Lake Taupo ; but this the colony appears to be too weak to accomplish. The Hon. Cracroft Wilson asserts that with 300 Maories he could keep the North Island in hot water, plundering every place for three years, and that it would take 3,000 well-appoiuted meu to arrest them. He believes that an effectual check could be given by a couple of well-commanded Ghoorka regiments, backed by a British regiment and the colonists. Indeed his proposition does not widely differ from that of the Pall Mall Gazette, which advocates the declaration by the Governor of martial law extending over certain districts ; that British and colonial troops should be placed in those districts under a selected officer having absolute power, and that that officer should be Colonel Gor don of the Boyal Engineers, well known by the soubriquet of Chinese-Gordon, the man Who sup pressed the great rebellion in the Celestial King dom. There are no troops that Gordon would like better to have, with officers who knew how to manage them than Ghoorkas, and there would be no diffi culty if he wished to ally himself in that enterprise with some of his old friends the Chinese. Indeed New Zealand may rely on this fact that the opera tions most required are, axe, pick, and spade work, and our own impression is that a good class of Chinamen would be a most valuable acquisition. The speech of the member for Christ Church will have its effect in England as well as in New Zealand, and if the rumour now circulating be true, the Ministers of the colony have so far acted on it that they have applied for a British contingent, the colony to pay at the rate formerly named ;by Mr, Cardwell. THE .EPISCIOPAL ,CHURCH 'OF IRELAND. `Vs='' The following circular has been issued, and will, no doubt, stimulate the zeal of the friends of the disesta blished Church :—" Having in view that some time must still elapse before the Church of Ireland can put forth an authoritative statement of its circumstances and wants, an account under the name of the Church of Ireland Sustentation Fund has in the meantime been opened, to which fund the Bank of Ireland, Dublin, and its branches ; the Provincial Bank of Ireland, Dublin, and its branches; Messrs. Coutts and Co., Strand, London and Messrs. Herries, Farquhar and Co., St. James's-street, London, have consented to receive contributions. These will also be received by the Archbishop of Armagh and the Archbishop of Dublin. We, in whose joint names this account has been opened, undertake to pay over all such sums as shall be contributed, to the Representative Body of the Church, whenever the same shall be incor porated by Charter, subject to any such conditions as the contributors may attach.—M. G. Armagh, R. 0. Dublin Leine ter, Abercorn." A CHANGED MAN. William Broadhead, the instigator of the notorious Sheffield outrages, is regarded as an injured man by a large number in Sheffield. They say he should not be "hounded to the end." Broadhead has honestly produced testi monials. Among others the vicar of St. Matthews, Shef field, has written in his favour. " I recommend W. Broad head," the rev. gentleman says, "to be entrusted with a license for his public-house, and I do so on the following grounds' I. Because, since the outrages, in which ho was evidently concerned, and which were so clearly brought home to the guilty parties, I have had opportunities of observing his conduct, and I think a beneficial change has taken place in his character and principles. Ile is a constant and apparently a sincere worshipper at my Church. 2. Because a bad man need not necessarily be always a bad man, and because I would rather facilitate than hinder any tendency to recovery of character and improvement of con duct. 4. Because W. Broadhead has a large family, which ho promises in future shall not suffer from want of paternal example and honest industry." A MARTYR IN A WORKHOUSE, A charge of insubordination of an unusual kind was brought against a pauper at the meeting of the Hertford board of guardians on Saturday. Tho master of the work house complained that one of the inmates—an elderly man named Bourchier, whose father was formerly rector of a parish in the Hertford union—persistently refused to be present at the reading of morning prayers. On Monday, when the master entered the hail for the purpose of reading prayers Bourchier got up from his seat and left. On being after wards expostulated with, he said, " I can't sit there while such a man as you reads the prayers. You are not a Christian, and I can't kneel with- you at the throne of grace." The same conduct' had been repeated throughout tho week. Tho master said that on Tuesday and Thursday he told Bourchier that he desired him to be present while prayers were read, and that his answer was, " I will not obey your orders." On Bourchier being called into the board-room this statement was repeated to him, and he said it was quite correct. He was ready to obey the orders of the master in all secular matters, but no power in Christendom should make him kneel down at the throne of grace under circumstances which to his mind made it a mockery and a profanity to do so. A discussion took place, and one guardian was of opinion that as the pauper had declared himself to be a Baptist on entering the house, he could not be compelled to attend the reading of the Church prayers, but others thought that as he had not based his defence on this ground, he could not avail himself of it. Bourchier was subsequently told what the conse quences would be if he did not conform to the rules of the house, but he replied that he had made up his mind, and that, let:what might happen, he would not attend prayers. Upon this the board directed that a summons should be taken out, and that the clerk should attend and conduct the prosecution before the magistrates. Bourchier was taken before the borough bench yesterday and fined Bs. or one month. He was allowed a fortnight to pay. THE ALBERT LIFE OFFICE IN INDIA. The Indian Daily News says that the suspension of pay ment by the Albert Lifo Office has caused the deepest concern in Calcutta. The branch there had enjoyed for many years the confidence of residents in India. The event has been compared to the suspension of payment by the Agra Bank and the Union Bank. A committee of inquiry, appointed by policy-holders in India, have conferred with the board of direction in Calcutta, and temporary arrangements have been made to secure the interests of those concerned until further particulars are received from England. The committee was appointed about three months ago on account of the dissatisfaction which prevailed regarding the affairs of the Albert, and the non-payment of tho bonuses which those claimed who had contributed at the higher rates. Mr. Neale, one of the London Board, "happened to be" in Calcutta at the time, and he met the dissatisfied policy holders, but his answers only increased the dissatisfaction, and the committee alluded to was appointed. The board of directors are anxious to exculpate themselves, but it now appcars that Mr. Neale came out to obtain £40,090 from the Indian branch, and it is strange that the committee, to whom professions were made of every desire to afford information, were kept entirely ignorant of that fact. The Albert was one of the first offices that insured the lives of natives of India, and about a hundred Hindoos are comprised in the list of policy-holders. The failure is not likely to do the experi ment of introducing the principles of life insurance into India much good. The services of five Madras lawyers have been secured in a case of heirship to be tried in Madras ; one of them is to receive a fee of £3,500, and the five £9,000. The contract is signed by which M. Straliosch binds himself to give Madame Patti 1,000,000 francs for 100 representations in America. Another stringent order has been issued by his Excellency the Viceroy of India in Council regarding the allocation of budget grants to public works throughout India. No exceeding of the budget grant, or transfer of any part of it from one work to another, will on any account be permitted. THE NEW BISHOP or SALISBURY.—It I£4 now definitively settled that Dr. Moberly will be consecrated as Bishop of Salisbury, at Westminster Abbey, on St. Simon and St. Jude's Day, October 28th. The cnthroni zation will be in the early part of the following month. A. now explosive material, called lithofractour, has been invented by a Prussian named Krebs. The ingre dients are a profound secret, but is said to have been already used for mining operations, and to be equally applicable for military purposes, Prussian officers declaring that its substitution for powder in the next war would ensure great superiority to the Prussian army. The advantages claimed for " lithofractour " are greater explo sive power than that possessed even by nitro-glycerine, small production of smoke, and freedom from all danger of explosion during transport. It is with pleasure that we record the probable settlement of the dispute between the masters and men of the Strafford Main Colliery, n•hich has now existed nearly three months. The mon, who with boys, numbor about 300, were discharged about twelve weeks ago on their refusal to submit to a reduction in their wages of from 7} to 10 per cont., and have since been supported by the South Yorkshire Miners' Association. At an interview between the proprietors and a deputation of the workmen on Saturday, certain propositions were discussed, and from the manner in which they were received, there is every probability that the men will shortly return to their employment. The land tenure question is attracting some atten tion in Wales as well as in Ireland. At trio annual dinner of the Anglesey and Carnarvonshiro Agricultural Society, the other night, the vice-president, Mr. Griffith J. Roberts, brought the subject forward in his speech. Ho con trasted the system of land tenure in Scotland with that in Wales, and drew a comparison greatly in fa vour of the first-mentioned country. Ho complained of .the absence of encouragement from the land lords in Wales to their tenants, and strongly advocated such a fixity of tenure as would give farmers more security and relieve them from the disastrous consequences which fre quently follow a change of propriotory. Mr. Roberts's viows were combated by some of the extensive landowners who were present at the dinner. A sad accident occurred on the Cornwall Railway on Saturday afternoon. Three littlo boys, about nine years of ago, had been out picking blackberries, and retuned home across the Camel's Head Viaduct, between Devenpolt and Saltash. When half way across it, a train approaching warned them by its whistle of their danger. They heard it, and took refuge in the man-hole. One of them, however, named Crew; the son of a warrant officer, becoming frightened at the approach of the train, jumped out and ran along the lino. Ho was, of course, soon overtaken by the engine and knocked down. The wheels passed over both legs below the knee, cutting them clean off, his thighs wore very much lacerated and his left arm was broken. Ho was convoyed to the Royal Albert Hospital, Devonport, where, sonSiblq_ t 9 tltQ last, 12Q cltecl tlf b9 1 1r4 cbaji§i24., 2IIE AUIUMN HANDICAPS. ACCEPTANCES FOR STA THE CESAREWITCII KES.
