But with O'CoNNELL this was merely the beginning of the campaign. Having won the engagement, he spent the rest of his life in endea vouring to win another—the establishment of a native Parliament, the gift of autonomy to Ireland. Not only did he not live to win that position, but it seems as far from being won now, a quarter of a century after his death, as it was then. True, angry Protestants talk about cutting off their heads to spite their noses ; talk of punishing Mr. GLADSTONE by raising the cry o! the green flag ; talk of revenging themselves upon the Parliament of the United Kingdom, in which the Protestants form over 90 per cent. of the assembly, by establishing an Irish Par liament in which they would not form 40 per cent. But it is all mere talk. None of them expects to see the change which they prate about so glibly. Repeal—O'CoNNELL's dream—is still only a dream. Nevertheless, his was not a fruitless career. The full results of it have not yet been seen, though they are beginning to be. The abolition of Protestant ascendancy, of the few over the many, which is now being achieved, is due indirectly to his efforts. The settlement of the land question, which we are bidden to look -for next year, will be another result. Before the new monument over the remains of the " Liberator " is completed, a great portion of his work will have been accomplished. RICHARD OASTLER'S career teaches the important lesson that no class can be trusted when the public good is supposed to militate against class interests. Naturally the manufacturers were ready to promote education and sanitary, reform, and all legislation tending to the promotion of mental and bodily vigour. But they opposed the Ten Hours' Factory Bill with a vehemence and obstinacy that was comparable only to that with which the landlords opposed Free Trade. Both professed to be guided by public interests. The landlords summoned the political economists to their aid, and argued that if England were made dependent upon other countries for her supply of food that dependence would prove fatal to her in the event of war. The manufacturers contended that it was against all sound political economy for Government to interpose between the employer and the employed. There was something to be said for both arguments, but the nation was too wise to be seduced by them, and so the Corn Laws were abolished—the Ten Hours Bill was passed. The part which Mr. OASTLER took in this latter achievement is known best to Yorkshiremen and to Lord SHAFTESBURY. Between the Commoner and the Peer there was very little in common, except their object. OASTLER, it must be confessed, was somewhat of a -firebrand, did occasionally say indiscreet things, and was fond of setting class against class. Lord SHAFTEsBURY_the Lord AsuLrx of that time—was more prudent, and had, therefore, more weight. The turbulent oratory of RICHARD OASTLER would scarcely have carried the factory child's magna charia. Nevertheless OASTLER was an efficient coadjutor, and it is well to see the survivor of the two doing honours, as Lord SHAFTESBURY did on Saturday, to the memory of his old comrade. There was enough result of their labours for them to divide the honours and yet for each to come off well crowned. An artist in search of a subject could scarcely find a more taking one, or one that would attract a larger crowd around it in the Royal Academy, than a two-panelled picture of the factory child of to-day and the factory child I of the time when Mrs. BARRETT BROWNING wrote her pitiful " Cry of the Children." LONDON, TUESDAY; MAY 18, 1869. ~--- The trail of a six-pounder over the pavement of our streets was once upon a time—not in a mythical epoch, but only a very few years ago—seriously re commended to the authorities by an insensate mem ber of Parliament, speaking from his place in the Rouse of Commons, as about the most effectual means that could well be hit upon for the restoration of order in the case of any popular disturbance within the precincts of London and Westminster. The re- medy has proi'ed in its time, upon extreme emergen cies, not quite so uesuitable in France, perhaps, as it would most certainly prove among ourselves. - Thrice at least in her later history, the roar of cannon in the densely-peopled streets of her metropolis has an. nounced the restoration of order in that capital, the enforcement of obedience to her laws, and the gathering up of the reins of dictatorial power within the grasp of her Government. Upon the first of these occasions—it was on the sth of October, 1795, young General NAPOLEON BONA PARTE suppressed a rebellion of 30,000 Royalists against the authority of the Convention. And in that way the Directory may be said to have been established and proclaimed at the cannon's mouth. Upon the second occasion, during those terrible days of slaughter, as one might say, by wholesale, namely, on the 24th, the 25th, and the 26th of June, 1848, Red Republicanism was scattered and shat tered by discharges of artillery and by the deadliest fusillades, under the direction of the Democratic Dictator of the hour, General LOUIS EUGENE CA VAIGNAC, then for a brief interval President of the Republic. The third and last occasion upon which order was re-established, as one may say, by the trail of cannon over the streets of Paris, and power confirmed in the hands of the ruler of France, in answer as it were to resolute discharges of musketry, was at the time of the memorable coup de'tat at the very begin n'ng of the December of 1851—when CHANGARNIER LAMORICIERE, CAVAIGNAC, THIERS, and very nearly two hundred members of the National Assembly were all of them simultaneously arrested in the dead ..)f the night. Extreme occasions these wae, un doutteclty. " Few and far between"—not like " angels visits," bat visits of a very opposite character —they have left so vi, id a remembrance behind them that it need hardly be much matter for wonder that outbreaks like those of Friday last in the streets of Paris should have appeared to some as nothing less Uhan the significant prelude to another very similar occurrence. Happily, while history does undoubtedly repeat itself, it very rar€ly indeed repeats itself in regard to these kind of supreme and certainly most lamentable necessities. NAPOLEON the GREAT, With all his indifference to bloodshed, whenever it appeared to him in any way inevitable, never repeated his achievement of the 13th Vandemiuire. CAVAIGNAC, we may rest assured, would never—had his authority been confined to him instead of being transferred to his formidable rival, the Prince LOUIS NAPO LEON BONAPARTE—wouId never, we may be quite certain, have found occasion for repeating his aucompromis'ng deed of June, when through the lestruction of 8,000 lives he crushed out the Ultra- Democratic Insurrection. Not lightly again, we may be very sure, would the present Ruler of France, whose possession of power for four years as President, and between sixteen and seventeen as EMPEROR, has now lasted for more than a good score of years altogether —not lightly we may be very certain would NAPO LEON 111. ever dream of resorting to the ex treme measures which ire conceived to be forot , (l 'Ton him at the period of the coup cl etat.

The Cunard royal mail steamer Palmyra, from New York, arrived here at 1 a.m. She brings 147 passengers, 21 of whom she landel with her de spatches, and proceeded at 1.15 for Liverpool. All well. prove fortunately to have been monstrously exagge rated. Instead of the armed and mounted function tries who were then, as the enforcers of the law, ring the wanton assail Ants of the populace, the for cer were, in the first instance, the assailed—assaile 1 lot simply by hust.ing an I so forth, but by blows nflicted by missiles and cudgels. The ugliest wounds ;•ecaived were those r,ceived by the emissaries of he PIETIST, " Remove the corpse," the police were iaid to have been heard to mutter from behind a door yap : but the " corpse" so called was, in point of tact, the insensible, happily not the inanimate, body of one of their own principal officers: Imme diately tidings of the people and of the municipal officers having come into collision, were reported to the Tuileries, an imperial mandate is said to have been immediately despatched thence to the Minister responsible in this matter to the So- VEREIGN, the Minister of Police, M. PIETRI, a message running laconically to the effect, " Respect Liberty, hut also respect Order I" It is absurd to imagine for a moment that there was iu any way peril just now in Paris of another revolutionary movement. So long as the present EMPEROR lives, a movement of that character is simply out of the question. The position occupied by him as the holder of power is strategically, in one word, impregnable. The three days of July, the three days of Feb ruary, the three days of June cannot be re peated. Barricades are incapable of being any longer constructed. Artillery could sweep the main streets of the capital from end to end, were the deadly need of it required—from central points—as from the radi ating spokes of an enormous wheel. The possessor of power has the ball at his foot so long as he retains, as N APOLEON M. undoubtedly does, unmarred to this moment, the loyal adhesion of the army and the loyal enthusiasm of the peasantry, constituting, the last mentioned, the vast majority of the possessors of the franchise under the system of Universal Suf- rage. IRELAND has just been doing honour to one hero, England to another., Dublin has been removing the dead body of DANIEL O'CONNELL from its old rest ing place to a new one deemed more suitable ; Brad ford has been uncovering the statue of RICHARD OASTLER. The difference between the two men marks the difference between the two countries. The first was a political agitator, the second was a social agitator. The first is still called by his fellow-countrymen the . Liberator, because he opened to them the doors of the Legislature : the second deserves that title almost equally well, for he redeemed the children of our factory towns from the tyranny of ignorance and overwork. Yet, for one man that knows who RICHARD OASTLER was there are a hundred who have heard the name of DANIEL O'CONNELL. Probably this is inevitable. The man who makes war upon a nation must almost of necessity be more prominent than the man who makes war upon a class. We are all of us interested when a question affecting the political unity of the kingdom is raised. Wo care very little when a question affecting the social condition of a class is raised. We are all of us born politicians; only a few of us are born philanthropists. Far be it from us to magnify the second at the expense of the first; there is a time and a place for both. Neither career was smooth or peaceable. I3oth lived militant lives. O'CONNELL had to fight against the English aristocracy and the Protestant Esta blished Church; OASTLER had to fight against the manufacturers. In both instances the battle was one of justice on the one side, selfishness on the other. That most religious sovereign GEORGE IV., after consorting with the emancipators during his father's ) lifetime, affected towards the close of his pious life THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY_IB, 1869.

CORRES id PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS. MONDAY, May 17. Paris has relapsed into a state of complete calm. So far as all present signs go, this, the last day of the public elec tion meetings, promises to pass off quietly. Yesterday not fewer than seventeen electoral meetings—one journal says nineteen—were held, and there was not the slightest disturbance at any one of them. Whether the exhortations of the Liberal papers or the edicts of the Prefect have produced this effect it is difficult to say, but the fact is none the less satisfactory. There was some very hot and exciting discussion yester day, beyond doubt, but in no case was the ordinary fire of a Paris political meeting exceeded. The dangerous moment—the departure of the audience--in no case gave rise to any trouble. The election news is of course multifarious and impor tant. Without entering into useless details about M. This and Baron That, I may remark that in Paris the field is left more and more clear to the Opposition. In 1563 the Government contested every circumscription ; in 1869 it scarcely spews fight at all. But as the Left cart ied all the divisions on the last occasion, this absten tion on the part of the authorities is of no great import ance. The Opposition can do no more than elect its men, with the additional enjoyment of being able to afford the luxury of an internecine struggle. M. Emile 011ivier has become more and more in receipt of Government support, and his chances Lave waned in proportion. Everything at present looks favourable for the exi reme men. But Paris always did and always will elect opponents of the Government. The important question is, what will the provinces do? Beyond question the new City of Paris Loan has proved a great success. For the last few days the Paris Municipal Council, the Mayor, and several hundred clerks have been employed in the exhilarating task of opening and classifying the immense number of letters con taining applications for allotments. This work is of truly Herculean dimensions. It occupies no fewer than 150 tables. On Friday evening the amount of the sub scription was 110 times the sum asked for; and there still remained 30,000 lotters to be opened and sorted, and the result of subscriptions in four or five departments more to be received. The 30,000 letters last arrived at the Hotel de Ville were to have been all examined in the course of Saturday. The mass of securities and bank notes forming the unprecedented avalanche that has fallen on the HOtel de Ville completely fills a small room, which is strictly gnarled night and day. All other business is suspended for the time. It is said that the Queen of England has written an autograph letter to the Emperor :Napoleon, thanking his Majesty for the attention shewn to the Prince and Prin cess of Wales during their late stay in Paris. The rare sentence of death has been passed by the tri bunal of Hainault, in Belgium. The crime was one of exceptionalborror. Awoman, named Descamps,was charged with murdering her granddaughter, an infant, by imbed ding needles 'fra the child's head. The only motive alleged for this barbarous crime is that the prisoner did not like to see her daughter, who is married, have a family. The woman seemed utterly overwhelmed on hearing the sen tence ; but the audience attempted applause at the deci sion—not a charitable proceeding, notwithstanding the barbarous character of the murder. Another trapeze accident has occurred. Whilst the gymnast Bounaire, who performs at the Cirque de l'lmperatrice, was springing from one trapeze to another he missed his bold, but succeeded in seizing hold of a rope which hung from the ceiling, and down which he slid so rapidly as to knock to a distance one of the men who stood below to hold it taut, while he himself struck against a heavy weight suspended for the same purpose, and fell rather heavily on the ground. He had evidently suffered a severe shock. A duel of unusual determination took place at Anvers between two officers a couple of days ago. Both officers were captains. One had used insulting language to the other in the presence of the:r comrades, the officer to w'iom the offence was - retorted in very free language, and a duel to the death was resolved on. Three pistol shots were exchanged without serious effect, one of the combatants being very slightly grazed on the left arm. Tile fourth pair were loaded, but one of the weapons missed fire. The other duellist discharged his in 1113 air. This magnanimous proceeding did not, however, terminate the conflict. A fifth charge was made, and it was agreed that instead of remaining at twenty-five paces, the distance hitherto kept, each combatant should have the right of advancing. five paces. The reduction of the distance immediately proved decisive. The officer who had spa• ed his adversary's life was shot in the head, and, it is mortally wounded. _ feared, _EV LA ND G AND A.:11E111CA. A lleutcr's express , dated New York, May 4, says : " The comments of the London pi e,.s upon the rejection of the Alai. ania, claims treaty bythe United States Senate, and upon Mr. Sumner's speech upon that subject, have attracted much attention here, and have created some :urprise at the great importance apparently attached to the aution of the Senate. It was generally believed here that the r. j_ct:on of the treaty had been regardod as a foregone cone - usion in Great Britain, as it had been here ever since the Committee on Foreign Relations in the Senate reported unanimously against it ; and the s peech of Mr. Sumner was not regarded here as being of any special importance in view of the fact that Congress had adjourned, leaving the whole subject in abeyance until next December, there having never been any allusion in either House, or in official quarters, to the proba bility of the President calling aspecial session of Congress in the interim t 3 act upon matters appertaining to the settlement of the claims. It is now reported that Mr. Motley, who leaves for England on the 19th instant, will have no special instructions from his Government in relation to the Alabama claims subject, it being f?garded as more desirable that the Governments of both countries should await further expres s'on or development of sentiment upon the sub etj through parliamentary and congressional debate. Mr. Sumner, in a recent interview with a c orresponden t of the New York Herald, is represented to have expressed the opinion that there is no danger of a war between the two countries arising from the affair." The new docks .al; llull are to be opened on 28th proximo. The Queen is now at Balmoral. There is a rumour (says the Lire? pool 31crcury) that she intends id returning to Windsor to visit the Isle of Kan. Le Figaro of Monday reports the death, at Dresden, of the aunt of the Princess of Wales, Princess 3larie of Schleswig-holstein. A Cork correspondent telegraphs that Mr. Murphy has definitively declined the mayoralty, and that the feeling is now in favour of Sir John Arnett. One Bridget llcgan made her 130th appearance before the Limerick magistrates for drunkenness. She was sent to gaol for a month. The report that Mr. Brady, a land agent, was fired at and wounded in Cavan—put in circulation by a Dublin journal-- turns out to be unfounded. The body of Lady Firth, wife of Sir Charles Firth, of Ireckmonwike, was found in the river Wharfe, near Bol ton Abbey, on Monday. She bad left the Devonshire Arms Inn at I3olton Bridge for a week the previou day, but it is not known when or how she came by her untimely death. petition will shortly be lodged against the return of Dir. Guest , member for Youghal. The ground of the petition i s that Mr. Gues t, in the recent contest, em p lo y ed persons in the capacity of canvassers, Mr. Weguelin amongst the rest, who were in the recent petition adjudged guilty of corrupt practices. The volunteers of London spent their holiday on Monday . at Panshanger, Tooting, and Windsor. Atthe two for mer places reviews were held. At the latter, Colonel Richardson Gardner entertained the North East London volunteers at dinner. The teetotallers had a grand fete at Beaufort-house grounds, which will perhaps be remembered in connection with one of the great reform meetings. The death of Frances Countess of Albemarle took place on Monday at the Hotel do l'Europe, Lyons. The de• ceased countess was daughter of the late Mr. Charles Stec and married May 4, 1816, Augustus Fr( &tick, second son of William Charles, fourth Earl of Alb( merle, who after wards became fifth earl, and died in 1851. The countess married, secondly, in 1860, Colonel the lion. Peregrine Francis Cust, son of Brownlow, first Lord Brownlow. A very melanclily accident occurred on Saturday efternccn at the Sowerby railway station. Mss Porter sister-in-law of the Rev. C. J. Bushell, vicar of J3urkislai d, was at that station, intending to proceed home to Southport by a train then about duo. In crossing- the lino the dress of the young lady was caught by an express.train which came up at the time. She was knocked down by the engine, and killed on the spot, The news from Oxford on Monday mentions the sudden flight of the Chief Proctorial officer of tboUniversDna man named Soanes, who is charged with forgeries of a very serious character; the Dames of several senior members of the University having, it is alleged, keen signed to bills. For many years past rumour bad painted to Seance as a forger, but it was not until Lis sud den departure that the real truth came out, when it was found that his defalcations were extensive. Consider ing the suspicion which attached to Soanes, it is though staple Opt 149 should ban been PCPAitte.d to escape._; A FIGHT WITH TUB OFFICERS OF THE SYIEIT OF LAW. A day or two since Mr. Hinder, a sheriff's officer, accompanied by an assistant, presented himself at the residence of Captain Hunt, of Boyton House, Wilts, under the authority of a writ of capias against Captain Hunt for a sum of about MO. The butler said his master was not at home, but Mr. Hinder went into the house and up stairs, leavinghis man below. He found Captain Hunt and told him the cause of his visit, whereupon the Captain ordered him from the house. Mr. Hinder said he could not leave, as the writ ho held was against the captain's person, and ho trusted they would be able to settle the affair quietly. Captain Hunt, however, armed him self with apoker and aimed a terrible blow at Mr. Hinder, who escaped it, but the poker coming in contact with the wall, was broken into two pieces. Mr. Hinder then called out for assistance, and his man and several servants in the house were quickly in the room where the fight was going on. By this time the captain had armed himself with the tongs, and with them dealt the sheriff's officer a heavy blow across the bridge of his nose, giving him a black eye, and causing the blood to gush freely from his mouth and nostrils. Mr. Hinder and his man then attempted tosecure the captain, who, seizing a revolver, declared he would blow out their brains. He presented the revolver at the head of the officer's man, and fired. The man dashed his hand up and at the same moment dropped on the floor unin- jured. Captain Hunt then presented a revolver at the head of the sheriff's officer, but the butler caught it from his hand. A struggle ensued, during which the sheriff's officer and his man were roughly handled and ultimately turned out of the house. The matter was immediately reported to the sheriff, and warrants were issued for the apprehension of Captain Hunt (who has left Boyton) and also against a servant who took part in the fight. IRELAND. The Daily New correspondent is still pursuing his investigations into the agrarian outrages in Ireland. His Latest communication is from Mullinabone. He has already given the opinions of the landlords, the land agents, the lawyers, the magistracy, &c. They all pointed in the same way—that while the products raised from land may be bought and sold in the best market, the letting of land must be done on other principles. The view of the tenant farmer is precisely the same. The correspondent tells the following story :—" A man living near Mullinahone purchased a seven or ten years lease of farm, for which he gave £7OO. On going to the landlord for a renewed lease of the farm, the ;andlord asked for £7OO and an increased rent of 10s. an acre. The man hesitated ; he probably thought that a hard bargain was being driven with him. But the upshot was somebody else offered higher terms to the landlord, and got the farm. It is possible that the case may be differently stated, for I heard two or three versions. One was that the landlord asked possession, which was at once given, under the impression that the occupier would get the renewal of the lease.; but, posses sion being once yielded, the land was handed over to another. I do not vouch for the correctness of the particulars, which I have given only from hearsay, though I took the trouble to inquire as near the spot as my time would allow. It was treated amongst landlords as a hard case. But, as I have remarked more than once, I do not see how the landlord is to blame on the doctrines that are rreached and practised. A man buys a lease for £700; when he did soi it is to be presumed that the lease was worth that money ; when it fell in the landlord asked another .£7OO and an increase of 10s. an acre. Meanwhile, another man, not in occupation, offered a higher sum and got the farm. If land is a com modity like every other, subject to the variations of supply and demand, why should a landlord be stigmatised for taking the highest price, any more than the farmer who sells the cattle and the sheep off the farm to thehighest bidder?" This view of the case the writer set before a tenant farmer, asking him if the question was not one of simple contract, and if the owner and tenant stand on equal grounds. 'He gave me a look of astonishment that I shall not easily forget, and answered my question by an apostrophe —` You know very well they do not. You might as well say that one man armed with a revolver and another with bow and arrow are fighting a duel on equal terms. The landlord possessing the elements whereby I live has me at a disadvantage.' Then you would not be satisfied with a measure like that of Lord Clanricarde's which provides the means of carrying out contracts freely made between landlord and tenant? It would make hinge worse than they are.' " A visit to a released Fenian prisoner is described. " I found Mr. Kickham in a small house looking towards a dismantled and ivy-covered castle, the walls of wMeli were of unusual thickness. After a few words of introduction, he told me that the English of Mullinalione was the Mill of St. John ;' that the origin of the castle was lost in the darkness of time ; that in 1798 a Croppy's head was lim; upon it as a warning to all rebels, but that the book from which it was suspended was sent to the Chicago Fenian fair two years ago, and sold as a relic for the benefit of the Fenian war treasury. I told him the object of my coining to Ireland. I was surprised by his ready • nsw•er—though he spoke through an interpreter with his nger;, being wholly deaf—' Wherever the Fenians went hey discouraged individual assassination.' " And taking own a book of poems he sheaved the vow made by Fenians against that way of relieving Ireland of landlords. Mr. Kickham made no allusion to his connection with Fenianism, but he complained, not so touch in • nger as in bitterness, of the treatment he received in prison. It is a disgrace,' he said, to the British Government. I cannot think the officials would have acted as they did if they had not received orders from their luperiors. It is a shame to make political prisoners the •ompanions of the most debased and depraved felons.' I could well understand the feeling in Mr. Kickham's case, for I perceived that I was talking to a man of very refined mind and of a gentle nature. In different circumstances neither the felon's dock nor the prison's cell would have been Mr. Kickham's place. Whatever his political senti ments, his moral principles and his gentle Manly demeanour were unfitted for a gaol life, and, as he said, ' If I had not been liberated, I would have been dead now.'" Cork seems to be quiet just now. Mr. Murphy, brewer, who was nominated by the moderate Liberals as the suc cessor to Mr. O'Sullivan, has, for business reasons, declined to accept the mayoralty of that city. The more advanced section of the party is anxious to secure the election of Mr. D. A. Nagle, who is the proprietor of one of the Cork newspapers, but it is stated that the general feeling is in favour of Sir John Arnott:, who has already filled the office for three years. The election takes place on Friday. Up to a very recent period Kerry has been remarkably free from crimes of an agrarian character ; but lately the spirit of lawlessness has exhibited itself. A land agent, Mr. Hussey, who found it necessary to serve some notices of ejectment on tenants, had some turf and hay destroyed by an incendiary. A couple of days afterwards Mr. Hussey received a threat. ening letter, bearing the Castle Island post-mark. " I am sending you these few lines," the letter said, " warning you to take care of yourself, for you are doomed. Don't you think it enough of harm that was done last Wednesday night (meaning the malicious fire). If the Lord spares us our health, there will be grass groWing over your head before many months." This epistle was read before the magistrates at Tralee Pre sentment Sessions, when Mr. Hussey applied for, and was granted, the bum of £66, as compensation for the property destroyed. Archbishop Leahy has issued a long and eloquent pastoral on the outrages in Tipperary. He expresses his horror of the crimes, exhorts the people to forbearance, and laments that a few desperadoes, acting singly and without accomplices, should tarnish the fame of gallant Tipperary. He attributes the antipathy of tenant against landlord to the long protracted settle. ment of the land question. He emplia,tical'y denies the existence of an agrarian conspiracy, It could not exist without the knowledge of the Catholic clergy, and they have no knowledge of any such thing. He denies that promises of any change in the land laws by Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Bright have had anything to do with the murders. He thinks the expectations of a settlement, so far from increasing, would diminish them. He bids the tenant to look for hope to the Imperial Legis lature, and points out the danger of the people of England J - being disgusted and estranged by these outrages. !er, VELOCIPEDE RACING. —On Monday four profes sional velocipedeans bad a race en two wheel bycicles for n, sweepstakes of £lO, at Streatham Common, over a mile of ground well adapted for the trial. The competitors were Messrs. Richards, Joyce, Ansct, and Freuti. At the start the pace was made by Asset, who maintained the lead fur half a mile, when Freuti leaded his opponents and increased the speed, and, after a sharp contest, came in first by four lengths. Asset second ; the others tied for third place. The last portion of the road was on the descent, and the mile was accomplished in s : \ minutes. VELOCIPEDE ACCIDENT.-011 Saturday afternoon a gentleman was proceeding down Key-bill, Birmingham, on a bycicie, at a moderately quick pace, and at the bottom of the hill a brougham cargo at ordinary speed along Icknield-street. The velocipede and the brougham almost met, and the rider of the former endeavoured to cross in front of the carriage. Just at that moment the L velocipede turned completely over, and the wheel of the brougham went over the rider's shoulder, inflicting serious injuries. The injured man was conveyed to the General Hospital. During the week several persons have been injured by falls and bruises sustained while riding on DY*l9.Nt . TEE PUBLIC JOURNALS, The Tines says that there are two parties who are prone to exaggerate the prevalence and intensity of revo lutionary sentiments in Ireland. With the most diverse motives and the most conflicting aims, both the advocates• of anarchy and the advocates of vigorous repression find here a common ground of agreement, and vie with each other in magnifying the expectations of the labourers and small tenants in Ireland. Lord Derby, for instance, stated in the House of Lords what the Fenian press will probably hail with acclamation—that upon and around his own estate persons of this class are looking forward to a total remission of rent after the year 1870. The difference is that, while Lord Derby goes on to urge the expediency of silencing these wild hopes by decisive proofs of a resolution to maintain the rights of property, disloyal agitators represent them as just demands, to be enforced by rebellion in the last resort, since the British Parliament will never satisfy them. Now, the mischief that may be dune by overstating the degree of agrarian discontent in Ireland is not to be easily measured. The question is whether the Irish people, or any considerable body of them, do actually claim or expect, as Lord Derby alleges, "some great measure for the redistribution of land in Ireland, which shall give back to the occupier what he thinks his right to the soil of which the landlord has deprived him, and which shall remove the Protestant and absentee landlord from the pro- perty." If it be so, the further question arises, whether uncompromising resistance or such remedial legislation as the bills of Mr. Fortescue and Lord Mayo is the most effectual mode of checking these extravagant notions. If it be not so, the less currency that is given to these ex travagant notions the better for the interests of Irish land lords as well as of Irish tenants. There may be good par liamentary reasons, as we have been obliged unwillingly to acknowledge, for deferring legislation this session; but a definite pledge should be given that Irish Land Tenure shall take in 1870 the same place which the Irish Church has taken in 1869. In the meantime, all classes in Ireland should be made to feel that it will be treated on principles of true statesmanship—a statesmanship at once superior to lawyer-like prejudices and to menacing importunity, to purely English conceptions of proprietary rights and to conceptions which have no justification but the imperious instinct of rapacity. The Standard says that the cotton operatives of the North have not been unmindful of the debt they owe to Richard Oastler. The statue they have raised at Brad ford, the centre of the movement in behalf of the Ten Hours Bill, is the memorial of a life of earnest labour and heroic devotion in one of the noblest labours which marl ever did for man. Everywhere are to be found the "real friends of the working man," from Bright downwards, but for real, substantial work, represented by plain and tangible results, it will be difficult to parallel the task to which Richard Oastler set himself, and which, with the aid of men of like aims and sympathies with himself, he was privileged to bring to fruition. The world is richlY stored with amiable philanthropists who are bursting with plans for the redress of every evil which afflicts humanitlt from the ratepaying qualification for the franchise dote to Pickford's waggons and German bands, and the end of their labours is usually to be found in the waste-pa P e r„ baskets of the two Houses of Parliament. Rich ard Oastler saw in the condition of the factory operatives of the North a cruel and hideous anomaly which cried aloud for redress, and he gave up his life to fight an d conquer it. Fitly, therefore, is his work of love core' memorated in the statue which has been reared to his memory at Bradford, and mainly at the expense of the class to whose welfare he gave all the activities of his life. It was well that the operatives of Lancasbir° and Yorkshire should bear the chief part in raising this memorial of the man to whom they owe so much, and tiesb they should assemble in such overwhelming numbers to do honour to the occasion of unveiling it on Saturday i f , they are now self-respecting, independent, well - n urtured working men, if their hours of toil are reasonable an d their rate of wage fair and liberal, if their wives and children are no longer forced into the labour market, 11 their toil is no longer slavery, and if their lives are 11° longer fraught with degradation and misery, they O; well afford to pay grateful homage to the memory Richard Oastler. The Telegraph, declares that Liberals have r ecante a . their errors as heartily as Tories have confessed their faults ; the factory legislation and the Free Trade AO stand side by side on our statutes, noble, useful, nev er to be repealed. Nor do the Factory Acts urged on Oastler stand alone. The measures which he promo te n are but the first in a long series that have si nce bee, passed, with fresh additions every year, enforcing delis n t ' end judicious interference between purchaser and sell' f : oetween employer and employed. Every year sees sonl: new legislation lightening the toil and improving the c°s. lition of the hard-worked poor ; and public opinion 14 growing stronger every day in favour of the right of tllB body politic to interfere with individuals in tae final Al's ,l ; permanent in terest of all. The legislation that has res trict u the owners of factories lia.s served, instead of injurin,g,Br iti ! t trade : a generation of young men has grown up liealth,lblee because Oastler's work was crowned with success. ~ economist of a somewhat bygone school may ask, " W be n i e will yondraw the line?" But the question is cot merely c't of experimental advantage— there is a distinct principle 4: the root of this legislation. Its purpose is , whi le seourl,./Ijo the amplest liberty to each individual in the pu rsuit of' 5 own special branch, at the same time, by regulatiOof which keep any class from encroaching on the right s „. another, to bring about the equal and harmonious devel"" a inent of the general resources. Alarmist orators writers may tell us that, if we go much further in VW / t i e ing trade from doing what it likes, we shall play int ° , o -0 hands of the trades unions. On the contrary , we b e ' it - 0, that the more humane and generous are our general le e o the less need will there be for the tver-nice an d d i e particular protection which the unions throw ore! a ' - o f ndividual workman.
