IXBE4 BUSINESS -OF THE CENTRAL T CRIMINA Li'COUBT.t• At the September session of tho Central Criminal Court, ,which commenced on Monday before the Right Hon. the 'Recorder, will be - tried several cases of considerable rote 'rest. In d referring to the case, of !'Professor" Risley; who its indicted for ,atte4optekabductienrthe learned Judge pointed out that th 6 Act niaae it misdemeanour to take away for attempt to take...away an unmarried girl under the age of ;16 from the? custody of her parents or lawful guardians. Risley did not appear to have actually taken the girl from the custody of her parents ; it was only the attempt that he was charged with. For the purposes of the Act it was 'not necessary that the girl should be in the actual and manual possession of the parents, as that could only refer to a child in arum. It was sufficient if the child was under the guardianship of the parents, or went on business for them. In the present case the girl was sent out on business by her mother, and was therefore under the custody and guardianship of that parent. It seemed that the prisoner laid hold of the girl, and it would be for the jury to say whether there was sufficient prima facie evidence to find a true bill. He must, however, tell them that of course there were circumstances under which a man might speak to a girl ; but not for a purpose which it was rcertain that her parents would most assuredly strenuously ?oppose. His lordship then proceeded to refer to other cases which the grand jury would have to consider. LAW AND POLICE. CHARGE UNDER TILE BANILRUPTCY LAW.—The September sessions of the Central Criminal Court opened on Monday. Henry Golding surrendered to take his trial en a charge under the Bankruptcy Act. He had carried on business in London as a cheesemonger, and was declared a bankrupt on his own petition at the beginning of the year,having previously offered his creditors three shillings in the pound, which they refused When his accounts were examined it appcared that the greater part of the estate was included in a bill of sale given to his brother, as he alleged, for a debt. The bill of sale was set aside, and the present prosecution instituted, but the Recorder said there was no evidence of fraud, and the jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. THE ROBBERY AT LONDON BRIDGE.—The two men, Maguire and Bristow, who were convicted in August of having recived some of the property stolen from Mr. Toser, jeweller, London Bridge, were sentenced on Monday, at the Central Criminal Court, to eighteen months' and nine months' imprisonment respectively. POLICE EVIDENCE.—At the Middlesex Sessions, on Mon day, a question of police evidence came under considera tion. A young man, named Goodwin, was at the last sessions sentenced to seven years' penal servitude for an assault, a policeman stating that he had known him for years under suspicious circumstances. The sentence was afterwards deferred, on representations being made to the judge, and on Monday a number of witnesses were called, who gave the prisoner an excellent character, his employer, his landlady and a neighbour being among them. A letter was also read from the rector of Trinity Church, Marylebone, to the same effect. The constable was called in answer but did not appear, and the recorder said he would postpone passing sentence till he was in attendance, as his evidence was quite inconsistant with that now pro duced. TRADE INTIMIDATION.—A case, which excited a great deal of interest among foreign workmen, was heard on Monday at the Lambeth Police-court. The prose cutor was a cigar maker at Peckham, and he charged four foreign workmen with intimidating the men in his employ, and inducing them to leave. The evidence failed to bring the case home, however, and the magistrate awarded the prosecutor to pay the expenses of the men he had summoned, much to the satisfaction of the other foreigners who thronged the court. THE INLAND REVENTlE.—Sergeant Perry, of the 60th Rifles, stationed at Aldershot, has been summoned at the instance of the Board of Inland Revenue, for selling excisable articles while caterer of the sergeants' mess of the battalion. Sergeants' messes being clubs, they are not licensed like canteen; and are not allowed to sell to civilians. The Excise officer obtained entrance in plain clothes, and passed as a friend of two sergeants who had just gone into the mess-room. A strong feeling against this manner of obtaining evidence exists in the camp. Tho summons will be heard on Thursday. A HYPOCRITE.—A man, named Henry James, has been charged at Hampton Sessions with wife beating. It seems that he professed to be a preacher, and attend meetings, but in reality spent his tima in idleness and dissipation. His wife gave evidence against him, and her father de clared he was the greatest hypocrite he had ever known. He was sentenced to three months hard labour, and ordered to find securities to keep the peace for th , -cf months more. Orders have been issues by the Government of India, for the employment of natives in all grades of the Forest Department for which they may be found qualified. The remains of Dr. Kieran, Roman Catholic Primate of all Ireland, were interred on Monday in the side vaults of Dundalk Cathedral, in the presence of a large assemblage. Cardinal Cullen took Fart in the high mass; the chants being sung by a choir of a hundred priests. There was a large array of prelates in the procession. MR. SICEIIIDAN, M.P.—Mr. H. B. Sheridan, M.P. for Dudley, writes, denying the report that his constituents are about to call upon him for an explanation as to his 'connection with the Albert Assurance Company. He says I have received no communication, directly or indirectly, from my constituents, large as that constituency is, or from any person in Dudley, as to the Albert Com pany. Neither have there been any meetings of my con 'stituents on the subject." In addition he adds that policy holders are safe to get 15s. in the pound, and possibly 20s. THE CASE OF MR. DALE CTQUERC/ITE.—At the Mansion House, on Monday, M. Francisco Antonio Pedroza D'Albuquerque, ship-chandler, appeared to answer a charge of fraud. The case had already been before the court, and the charge was in connection with the insurance of an Italian ship named the Bernard. The principal witness against him was his own book-keeper Neal, and it was urged for the plaintiff that the case rested on the un corroborated testimony of an alleged accomplice. Sir Francis Moon said he had given it his best attention, and he was decidedly of opinion the defendant should be dis charged. , A DIFFICULTY. —Foot and mouth disease is making sad ravages in several counties throughout England and Scotland, "and. everywhere the local authorities are taking active measures to prevent it spreading, and ; ' in compliance with the statute, inspectors are being appointed. The Act requires that a convenient and ,!‘ isolated place" in 'each district be provided for the affected cattle, and how this is to be accomplished has not only baffled the ingenuity of inspectors; but has defied the wisdom of the judicial bench.—Chamber of Agriculture Journal. ANOTHER MAN APPREHENDED CHARGED WITH DESTROYLNG THE " HERMITAGE." - Another apprehension, has been made by the county police in connection with `the destruction of the " Hermitage" at Dunkeld, the name of the party being Daniel Blair, a labourer, belong ing :to Dunkeld. Blair is a young man upwards of twenty-five years of age, was for some time in the army, and in November last was, along with others, tried before the High Court of Justiciary at Edinburgh on a charge of mobbing and rioting alleged to have been com mitted at Dunkeld Bridge in the summer of last year. It will be remembered that the charge of mobbing and rioting -failed, and that the parties were convicted of breach of thee peace, for which offences they all received severe sen temces.—Dundee Advertiser. DEATH FROM HYDROPHOBIA. - Another death resulting from the bite of a rabid dog on the 20th August, in the neighbourhood of Camberwell, when ten persons were bitten, has become the subject of inquiry before Mr. Carter, the coroner for East Surrey. Arthur Frederick Kimber, aged 13 years, the son of an i ron mou ld er, of Brunswick: place, Wyndham-road, Camberwell, was the unfortunate victim of the attack. Annie Sedgwick stated that she remembered deceased being bitten on the nose. He had the wound cauterised by Dr. Duke. On Tuesday evening he became seriously ill. He then complained of slight headache, with dull pains in his eyes ; he was that evening seen by Dr. Duke. On the following day he was in a raving condition, barking like a dog, and emitting saliva from his mend:, lie had also a series of convulsive fits, which lasted f,,c two or three hours at a time. He refused fluids, and shuddered whenever drink was offered to him Tle continued in that condition during the whole of that night and the following morning, although he was perfectly sensible up to the time of his death, which occurred about half-past three on that (Thursday) afternoon. About a quarter of an hpur pre; iously he was enalLd to swallow and I =take of rn and seemed much better, bat is a few minutes was found to have suddenly eel iced, Laving evidently sunk Loin exhaustion. The wound - fr. m the J it) for which he is came a patient at St. Thomas s Ho pital had healed very During some of his paroxysms he had attempted to bite witness, catching hold of her apron with his teeth, and tearing it. He was constantly snorting and snapping. The Coroner observed that he was sorry to hear that so many persons had been bitten by the dog in question, which he understood had not been destroyed until it reached Tulse bill. The jury returned a verdict of "Died fromhydp 7 phobia through the bite of a dog." and MISCELLANEOUS NEWS, COFFINS FOR SALE OR HIRE. The coffin trade, or, to speak more respectfully, the undertakers' business, is at all times a grimly sad, but exceedingly necessary branch of commerce. The idea of men growing sleek and fat out of the deaths of those around them may, of course, be made either a theme of sen timental and pathetic poetry, or the subject of monstrous humour. But we defy anyone to get any such joke out of the paupers' coffin trade. The dealers in wooden boxes for people who die in work houses do not get sleek and fat upon the money they earn. Take a tender ofiered to a London union recently. For 33. Gd. the tradesman was to furnish deal coffins at and above five feet, and for is. 9d. coffins short of that length. For 3s. Gd. each he was to remove the bodies of adult paupers from the work house to the mortuary, to supply two "mourners," and to provide a plate with the name and the age of the deceased. For 2s. Gd. provision was to be made for the burial of those paupers who were under seven years ; and still-born children were to be removed for the sum of 10. The undertaker even offered to remove dead bodies from the fever hospitals for 3s. a head. At Wor cester the guardians are thinking of hiring out coffins on loan. ft seems that people with money enough to hold feasts get coffins from the workhouse. The guardians propose to lend to those having means, and make them pay or give back the coffin. They will perhaps when they have a good stock advertise " Second-hand coffins for sale." 1118 IRISH LAND QUESTION. Thci latest-received letter of the Times Commie doner is dated from Mullingar, the little capital of Westmeath, which county is for several reasons an, important one as regards the land question. Its cha racter is not progressive, its agricultural area has considerably diminished, and its population has decreased. The wages of the agricultural labourer vary from Cs. to 10s. a week ; the farmers, except the very small holders, are reasonably well off, the large graziers as a rule being wealthy. Rents vary from £3 10s. to 15s the Irish acre. The land system is essentially the same as that of other counties previously described ; except that the number of absentee landlords is com paratively small. By far the largest portion of the county is occupied by small farmers, WhO legally are merely tenants-at-will, though they have added much to the value of the soil by building, enclosing, fencing, and tillage, and though they have purchased their interests in numerous instances. The existing law, the Commissioner points out, is not a rule of right to this body of men in their actual position ; it ex poses, what is in truth their property, tbA benefits they have added to the land, to be confiscated by a summary process, and it sets at naught the equitable right acquired by a transfer for value with the assent of the landlord. The consequence is that the thoughts of the peasant run somewhat thus :—" I and mine have tilled these fields for generations ; I have made them what they are, have, perhaps, bought them ; I cannot compel my landlord to grant me a lease, yet the law leaves me naked and defenceless, while the large man who is coveting my land in the revolution going on around me can make for himself an excel lent bargain. Your law is double-faced and unjust. I turn to a code of a very different kind in order to protect my legitimate property." Westmeath is pervaded by the agrarian spirit, and many of the outrages that have been perpetrated have remained undiscovered. The Riband Society is more or less organised in the county at the present moment. The immediate causes of the prevalence of crime are, the Commissioner believes, that agrarianism has been unpunished for years in the district, and that it was called into being, and has been kept alive, by the " clearances " of estates, and by the extension of the system of large farms. It is however not un worthy of notice that Westmeath, like Tipperary, was for several centuries the scene of civil war and dissensions of race ; nor is it improbable that the habits of lawlessness and moral disorder then formed have survived down to the present age. To those who persist in ascribing agrarianism to the inherent savageness of the aboriginal race it is rather an awkward fact that Westmeath, especially on its eastern border, is ono of tho parts of Ireland which contains a very large admixture of English blood. THE ELECTION COMMISSIONS. The Commissioners at Bridgewater have 00111 d upon a tangle in unwinding the thread of past elections, and they have handed it over for the magistrates to unravel. The difficulty is soon told. They had before them on Saturday three of a family named Buttle—the father and two sons. These witnesses have no very good character ; one of the sons is constantly being brought before the magistrates 'charged with small offences. They are all voters. At the election time they received £lO a piece from Allen, the bribery agent. Each of them was called before Mr. Justice Blackburn on the hearing of the election petition. One of them swore falsely that he had received £3O ; the other two denied that they had received anything. Now, called before the Commissioners they admit the perjury ; but lay the blame of it upon Allen. They charged him with inciting them to tell an untruth. lie came to them (they say) and proposed that one should ten for all that the others might go free. Allen's story, however, is a very different on:. He declares most emphatically that he never induce:l them to tell a lie ; and asserts that one of the Buttles came to him only a clay or two back, and pointed out what he had said before the judge. He tried to get Allen to bear him out before the Commissioners. Allen indignantly refused, and she - wed Buttle the door. It is certainly by no means clear what good Allen would obtain from the false evidence given before Mr. Justice Blackburn. It is conceivable, however, that the Buttles should agree amongst themselves to let one suffer for the rest. At least so thought the Commissioner, and ordered the men to be brought as soon as might be before the local bench and charged with the perjury they had confessed. For the rest of the day the Commi sioners were engaged in hearing more confessions of £5, £lO, and £l5 bribes. _ _ _ It is expensive work gaining and keeping a seat in a corrupt borough. So Sir James Walker has by this time discovered. He told the Commissioners at Beverley that it cost him S:1,000 a year to keep his son in for five years. Altogether that election was a peculiar one. Sir James wished his son to enter Parliament, made all the arrangements, provided all the money, told his son what to do, got him elected, subscribed to local charities, and when he saw the thing was either wrono or too expensive, told the M.P. to retire. Mr. Walk'ir was brought before the Commission and questioned ; but his father called out, "He knows nothing about it ; it rests entirely with me." The fact that a younger son of Sir James had taken money to the bribery agent, is somewhat ex plained. Sir James told his own agent that he could have the money, and di rec t e d Mr. Walker to fetch it from the banker's. The "boy "—said at first to have been 12 years of age, but now proved to have been 25—was told by other persons to whom to take the bag. He took it to one lieniplav, and the sum was spent in bribery. SEIGNIORAGE. The discussion of the question whether the charge of one per cent. for mintaF,e should be deducted from the sovereign has been joined by Lord Overstone. The gold contained in a sovereign cannot be dimi nished without a violation of good faith, and there fore, says his lordship, the cost of coinage must be de frayed either by the State as heretofore, or by a direct charge upon the owner of the bullion, who may take it to be coined. If, too, the amount of gold in the sovereign be diminished, it will cease to be a legal tender (except to some very limited amount) because it will no longer contain the exact quantity of gold to which the creditor is entitled. Professor Leone Levi, writinr , on the same subject, points out that in almost all countries a mintage charge is levied. In France the entire quantity of gold taken into the mint is coined, but the mint is paid with part of the coin produced by it. In the United States and in Prussia the mintage charge is half per cent. The Professor gives his entire adhe sion to the proposed seigniorage, and expects that public: opinion will fully sanction the contemplated reform. In a column and a half of the Times " Par" sets himself to demonstrate the conclusions of the advo cates of the proposed change. They have three objects in view—saving the cost of coining gratis for other countries ; obtaining a profit out of the charge for coining by demanding more than the mere cost of the operation ; and enabling England to enter the Inter national Coinage League by the reduction of our standard. All of these cannot, he says, be accom plished by the same process. The chief faults of the proposed plan are thus summed up : It is dishonest, inasmuch as it does not provide for the faithful fulfil ment of previous contracts. It is impracticable, be cause under its arrangements we should got no gold for our own currency. It is useless, because the groat advantages Fromised to traders and tourists vanish upon closer inspection. SCOTCII EDUCATION DILI. The Educational Institute of Scotland has been engaged in a discussion on the Education Dill, the measure being characterised by Dr. Donaldson, rector of the Edinburgh High School as wise, thorough, and sound. Had it passed, Scotland would have had the best system of education in the world, so far as Government could make it. Tho rector thought the Lord Advocate should be asked to bring in the bill again just as it passed through the House of Com mons, and, at the Caine time, efforts should b© made to persuade the House of Lords to give no considera tion to the measure, but simply to pass it. Dr. Donaldson afterwards moved a resolution expressing regret at the loss of the bill, but an amendment, gass ing no opinion whatever on the of characte t r he of F t r h ee e measure, was carried.

MR. HOWELL UPON THE LABOUR, QUESTION: Mr. Howell has made himself a name and obtained a position. As Secretary of the Reform League, as the working men's candidate—an unsuccessful one— for several constituencies, as an advanced independent politician, and a leader amongst the trades unionists he now occupies a place in which his opinions become important. Alr. Howell spoke to a meeting of metro politan bricklayers the other n;ght, and declared that trades unions must and will become political—thoroughly and intensely political. At present they were doing little work. They must now take up the question of education, and demand\ that it shall be compulsory and unsectarian. They should agitate for a reform of the land laws. Mr. Howell spoke in favour of eight hours' labour per diem, denounced the combination laws, and appealed for direct representation of the working man in Parliament. He looked upon co-operation as the means of ultimately nettlino• the contest between capital and labour. In one point Mr. Howell dissented from the opinions of his fellow trades unionists. He could not agree with limiting the number of apprentices. Lads must work; they would only overstock other markets and bo brought up to inferior trades if they were driven out from the higher ones. in reply to this appeal, says that as the matter of the pro pagation of Christianity has already been fixed in the treaty, it would be very difficult to hinder it openly. He directs that the various cases in question should be eza mined, "that what is proper to be done should be done at once, and what must be repressed be clearly shewn to the treaty," and so the cause of good order may be main tained and these religious litigations finally settled. advertisement in its columns, and lately a paper lost the time-table of all railways, fora reflection on the conduct of one railroad company ; while but the other day another, in addition, was denied the sale in the cars of the road it bad unfavourably men tioned. If a journal loses these advertisements, our readers may learn what that is from these facts : at the first meeting of the directors of a Life Insur ance Company, recently organized in New York, it was resolved to expend $lOO,OOO, a tenth of its capi tal of a million dollars, in advertising. Another, of wealth and standing, recently expended nearly half that sum in two months in advertising an extract from its annual report. The Union Pacific Railroad devoted several hundred thousands of dollars to making known the value of its bonds. This proves how largely the income of the press is derived from such advertisements, and they are sometimes given as retaining fees are to lawyers, if not to advocate the cause, at least not to take the other side. The public have decided that they must get the great journals for next to nothing ; but the most expensive machinery in the country cannot be kept going without liberal supplies of fuel, which is derived from advertising. In the ordinary way of business a man does not seek for information from interested persons, nor should he from the columns of a paper, whose main item of support is derived from that source. Those, more especially in coun try places, barred from information, should, as a rule, pass as but of little worth the comments of any newspaper on any undertaking, and more particu larly on those which advertise in its columns. ILL-PAID CLERGYMEN. In the opinion of " Common Sense," a correspon dent of the Daily News, the fact that while the appearance of a demand for clerical labours, which in reality does not exist, has glutted, and is still glut ting, the market, there is no means of depleting it of the supply unwisely accumulated. Because there are more clergymen than are required, the income of those who are really needed is too - little. " Let clerical duties be performed by gentlemen who, ceasing to dissipate their attention by private pupils, confine:themselves to the performance of what arises each day and hour requiring indispensably, spiritual agency. Let the payment for the discharge of these labours be regulated strictly by the law of demand and supply, and let full license be conceded to every man to resign orders in case he feels no vocation for the life, or cannot obtain thereby an honourable com petence." AGRICULTURAL RETURNS. The Board of Trade is about to furnish complete returns of the agricultural produce of Great Britain. A summary of tho chief' results has already been sent out. From this we learn that during the present year 3,695,000 acres have been under wheat, 2,256,177 under barley, 2,785,054 under oats, and 586,301 under potatoes. In the case of wheat, the increase over last year is 12 per cent. ; in that of barley, 4.9 per cent. ; in that of oats, 1.0 per cent. ; and in that of pota toes, 8.3 ver cent. The returns will show a con siderable diminution in live stock, but an increase in agricultural produce. CANONRIES. The Earl of liarrowby suggests that, in order to avoid there being any ground for the future of canonries being complained of as us3less appendages to the Church system, a recommendation made by the Cathedral Commissioners in 1855 should be adopted. That recommendation was that on the appointment to any canonry a written statement of the qualifica tions or past services of the person appointed should be signed by the patron, to be presented to the Chapter, and preserved among their records. The noble Earl would also have the statement published in the Gazette. FOREIGN NOTES. THE MIXING CALAMITY IN PruNNSYLV.&NIA: • MSS the general opinion that the results of the catas trophe at Avondale will be to place all the mines under the supervision of officers appointed by the State. The accident is unparalleled in the history of American mining, and the scenes in connection with it have been most agonising. The mine, it appears, had no air-hole distinct from the shaft, and when that was cut off, wholesale destruction to life was certain to follow. The most diligent researches have not up to the time of the last accounts availed to discover the bodies, but it is supposed that the miners fled away from the shaft the moment of the disaster, and that their dead bodies will be found in the most distant chambers. The greatest heroism has been displayed by the men who are working the shaft. They did not hesitate to go down, although they know they must meet the "black damp," and that it had already proved nearly fatal to some of their comrades. The greatest excitement prevails. Nearly all the mines are deserted, and business is almost entirely suspended in the neighbouring towns. EUROPEIN TROOPS Ili INDIA. The experiment of employing European troops in India in large numbers in the construction of the hill roads has been highly successful. The officer in command of a de tachment of 65 men thus employed during the hot season of the year says in his report that the moral, physical, and pecuniary advantages to the men cannot be over-estimated. The Sanitary Commissioner, while highly approving of the scheme thinks that it must be regarded rather as a pre ventive than a curative measure, and that only healthy men should be applied to such duties. THE BALL AT ,IMLA. The Lidian Daily Yews says that the Jeyporo ball at Simla has occasioned great excitement, and it was fortu nate for the Maharajah that ho made his debUt at Simla and not at the Government House at Calcutta, where he would have L.en mobbed by a well-dressed crowd. It is expected that in the first week of January a fancy dress ball on a scale of unusual magnificence will be given at the Government House in honour of the Duke of Edinburgh. The Indian Daily News, in referring to this entertainment, observes that probably Jondhpore, Vizianagram, the Rajah Kali Krishna Bahadoor and Sir Mann Sing are already practising quadrilles so as to form a set on the occasion. PROJECTED DL'TtBA.R AT AGRA. It is doubtful whether the proposed grand Durbar at Agra, in honour of the visit of the Duke of Edinburgh, will take place. It is feared that it would cause too severe a strain upon the native States in the North-West. All preparations have been countermanded for the present, until it has been seen what prospect the rain crops holt' out for next year. The Times of India duly appreciates the importance of the Durbar, but declares that no one would be more anxious to forego the ceremonial than the Queen if it were certain that scenes of misery would be the background of the splendid pageant. In the event of the Durbar being held, it is said that no middle course is practicable, for if a general invitation is issued, all the princes within reach will vie with each other in expendi ture and display, and if special invitations are issued to those most able to afford the outlay, a spirit of bitter rivalry will be stirred which might undo all the political good called forth by emulation. FLOOD AT irAyKow. A destructive flood is reported from Hankow, which has completely submerged the native portion of the town and done great damage to the foreign settlement. Many thousands of the poorer class of natives have been driven from their homes to the Han Hill, or have taken refuge on the Defence Wall, but several bastions at the Han end of the wall have already crumbled down. In the streets the water is from five to ten feet deep. The guage gives forty nine English feet above mean water level, and in no place are there less than four, and in many there are ten, feet of water over the settlement. Great distress has been caused by the flood. CHINA. AND AMERICA. The Overland China Mail gives the full text of twc. addresses presented by British and American residents at Shanghae to the American Minister at Peking on the occa sion of his recall, and gives also Mr. Ross Browne's reply The British address expresses the satisfaction with which those who sign it perceive the unanimity existing between the ex-representative of America and Sir Rutherford Alcock, and protests against the precpitation with which a new policy has been adopted by both the American and English Governments. The American address is written in a similar strain. The subscribers believe that while Western Governments are bound to act a friendly, just, and generous part . towardsChina, they cannot forego the ad vantage of the moral influence of their greater material power. Mr. Ross Browne, in his reply, insists upon the importance of maintaining treaty rights in China. Between the two positions of non-interference and the execution of treaty rights lies the whole difficulty. There is, he observes, in China no central authority capable of enforcing its obligations, no means of checking abuses by the provincial authorities, and no facilities for appeals to organised courts of justice. If the citizens and subjects of Western nations must be content to limit their intercourse to the treaty ports, there is no guarantee that the limitation will not have to be carried still further. All experience shews that a retrofires sive movement once commenced in China leads to war, which neither England nor America can desire, and the best way to avoid such a war is to insist upon the execu tion of our treaties. The Americans, in thier address, allude to Mr. Brown's dissent from Mr. Burlingha,me's conclusions as the cause of his recall ; but the Overland China Mill states that it has private information which causes it to doubt this assertion. THE CHINESE GOVERN3IF.NT AND THE MISSIONARIES. The Chinese Board of Foreign Affairs has addressed a memorial to the Emperor, asking for his instructions with respect to the missionary complications whic:i have arisen In various parts of China. After stating several of their perplexities, they beg for an Imperial edict, directing the local authorities in each province, where there are foreigners engaged in disseminating Christianity, to "command the people and scholars to attend to their own affairs, and abstain from gratuitous criminations." On the other hand, if any Christian teachers create disturbances, the autho• rities should be directed to inform their consuls, that they may be dealt with according to the treaty. The Emperor, TELEGRAPHS IN CHINA. Eleven foreign consuls residing at Shanghae have made an unsuccessful application to• the Taotai for permission to construct a line of telegraph from Shanghae to the Kin toan Beacon. The Taotai finds there is no provision in the treaties for the erection of telegraphs, and believes that it would be a great offence to the feelings of the people, wherefore he requests the consuls to inform the merchants that there is no occasion for a telegraph wire in China. ADVERTISING INFLUENCE. (From the Anylo-American Times.) Among the articles in the last number of the New York Nation which has reached Europe, is one es pecially noticeable on "Financial Advertisements." Its object is to show that the public should attach no importance whatever to the commendation of any newspaper regarding any scheme which asks for their money ; but, on the contrary, that they should view the favourable remarks with suspicion if they see a long advertisement accompanying the recom mendation. By way of illustration, we tell our readers the following little story which occurred to a man whom his friends considered to be far from wanting in capacity. He was an officer of the British Army, and had spent the greater portion of his life abroad, where, in the unhealthy climates of India and China, he had saved a little money, which, with the sale of his commission, he considered ample for his future support. Before taking the irretrievable step of retiring he desired to acquaint himself with the best investments and the interest he might reason ably expect from his capital. To aid him in these researches he took in a weekly London paper de voted to the money market and joint-stock enter prise, and soon became absorbed in this guide. The delightful visions of wealth which there flitted be fore his eyes quickly removed all doubt ; his diffi culty was an embarras de richesses, he was like a boy in a confectioner's shop. " Scatter," said his Men tor, " don't put all your eggs into one basket ; vary your investment both in country and in character." The sword of this officer was not only turned into pruning hooks, but into the implements which cul tivate tea, which build ships, into financial enter prises, manufacturing, mining, banking, and hav ing got his money well spread over the world and into undertakings about which he could not possibly know anything beyond what the authority he fol lowed had demonstrated, that they all not only had paid, but would continue to pay admirably, he awaited the returns with much complacency and self-congratulation. The result turned out to be a pretty thing,for he had notmerely purchased worth less securities, but heavy liabilities ; not only was all his means swept away, but huge debts remained to liquidate in uncalled capital, and to his surprise the Mentor he had so implicitly followed turned round to abuse most heartily the very undertakings it had before so lauded, whose meetings it had so fully reported, and favourably commented upon in leading articles. This officer was in the country during the beginning of 1866, and the City arti cles of the Times so alarmed him that he would have hastened to town to clear out of all the rubbish he held, which he then began to suspect, but week after week his fears were allayed by the soothing assurances of his " weekly." The public was mad ; men were sacrificing without reason their property ; now was the time to invest, and this rubbish was the right thing to buy ; and some in fluential dailies in London strengthened this delu sion, so the officer held on, and we all know how that ended. He was ruined, because he was so blinded as not to see that the editor of the financial newspaper did not know as much about the invest ments he thus lavishly praised as did the officer him self ; that the information of the paper was derived from the very companies it landed, that informa tion being accompanied by no small fees in pay ment of advertisements and the purchase and dis tribution of copies of the paper ; in short, that it was the mere tool of Joint-Stock Companies, just as Financial Companies were of contractors—the means by which they gathered the money of a gullible public. It would have been much better, for the officer had he gone direct to the Secretary of any Company in whose shares he invested, although that is the next worst source of information. It is curious reading to look over files of the year 1865 of such financial journals as that to which we allude, with their unhesitating recommendation of investments which in less than twelve months ap peared in their true characters of iniquitous swin dles, and to see these same journals now moralizing on the rascality, and men still putting faith in what they say. It would be better for investors to rely on the published circular of a broker, proving that the securities he had to sell were the best fur the public to buy. There was a time when newspapers were supported by purchasers of the copies ; now the main support is from advertising, and the change is by no means beneficial to the press, although the ad. vantages to persons of small means are considerable. It was in America that the system of cheap papers was inaugurated, and it is in America where the worst influences of the change are felt. The Nation says that few persons have any idea of the insidious influence over the press acquired by means of finan cial advertising. Certain journals devoted to finan cial and business specialities of a low class form the ground work of the fabric to be reared, and in them appear the firstadvertisements of the new enterprise. The publisher agrees with the advertiser for a whole column of advertising per week, and half a column of editorial notice, to be furnished by the advertiser. If what the advertiser states editorially is contra dicted by correspondents their letters are not pub lished ; if by other journals, their venality and corruption can be exposed in another editorial. The advertiser does not expect the glowing accounts to be read in the obscure journals wherein he com mences operations, but they are not published to be read, but to be quoted. The next step the adver tiser takes is to the office of a respectable but strug gling daily or weekly, and his bargain there stipu lates that the paper will occasionally copy and in sert semi-editorial extracts from other papers in relation to the new company which will be kindly furnished by the advertiser himself. Thus an out rageous puff comes to be inserted from the obscure journal, the editor soothing his conscience with the rtflection that every reader must see that the para graph is only an extract. But every reader does not see this, and in the mindsof some it may remain asso ciated with the credit due to the paper in which they sawit. However, theseareonly the first steps designed to pave the way to the offices of the leading journals of the great cities. The whole press is now as serted to comment favourably on the undertaking, especially "Such and Such" not over-flourishing daily and weekly papers. The advertiser's applica tion to the great journal is made to the editor thecom piler of the money market reports, who is induced to allude to the advertisement in " anothercolumn," and the high character and business standing of the firms having the affair in charge. With the endorsements of the l'rlzas, as well as with that of the financial editor of the leading organ, the advertising agent enters the sanctum of the editor in chief, and pre sently the widely-read and trusted guide " comes out with a gross puff of an enterprise, in itself per haps profitable and desirable, but of the real merits of which the editor is totally incapable of judging." We strongly recommend the following remark of the Nation to careful consideration, for it is at least as true of Europe as of America : "The ability to judge of the value of any kind of secu rity as a permanent investment is by no means com mon; the knowledge necessary to form such a judgment is acquired only by special study ; neither the ability nor the knowledge comes naturally to the editorial fraternity. On the contrary, their ability in that particular direction is, in the very nature of things, apt to be limited; while the knowledge which they may acquire is almost in every single instance derived from the very parties in interest, and is generally accompanied by an advertisement fee, which inevitably predisposes the most incorruptible of men in favour of the person or enterprise offering it." The sort of tyranny exercised in America over the Press by combinations of classes of advertisers, may be gathered from the fact that an exposure of one Life insurance Company has been known to de prive a respectable journal of every Life Insurance CUBA. It is now evident that we were justified in our remarks last week on Cuba, as the subject is assuin ing a dangerous aspect from the pressure of public opinion on the Administration of the United States on the one side, and the Castilian pride of the other, which we are bound to say is more becoming than prudent. General GRANT'S idea was that which suggests itself to any reasonable man acquainted with the difficulties of the position, namely, for Spain to retire, accepting in bonds the highest price the Cubans could afford to give for the Govern ment property surrendered ; and if what the Times states be true, it was on some such understanding that the pulses of Cubans were freely opened to furnish to Generals PRIM and SERRANO the means of accomplishing the home revolution. The revolt in Cuba broke out in connection, as is proved by the fact that the Cubans rose before any intelli gence of PRIM'S movements could have reached the island. It is perhaps unfortunate for the success of the negociations with which General SICKLES and Mr. PAUL FORBES were intrusted, that so much had transpired and been publicly discussed, whereby the pride of Castille, attracted to the subject, was aroused, and a most difficult element entered into the complication. At any rate, the negociations appear to have been the reverse of successful, and the tone assumed by GRANT'S Administration seems to have kindled into a flame all the arrogance of the Spaniard. First we have a telegram that 16,000 soldiers are to be sent from Spain to Cuba ; then that 24,000 is the number, 9,000,000 reals being provided by Havannah firms to defray the expense of transport. Of this army, for it is nothing less, 3,000 had at once been forwarded, and 7,000 were to leave this week, together with two iron clad frigates—itself a pointed answer to the me diation of General SICKLES. Marshal PRIM pro ceeded to Paris, and was joined there immediately by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, when they had an interview with the EMPEROR ; and, coupled with this intelligence, the position is represented as very critical between Spain and the United States. Turning from Europe to America, we see nothing to reassure us on the other side of the water. A New York morning raper, supposed to represent the Administration, one day published an article favouring Spain ; on the next it took a political summersault, coming out with a leader recommend ing Government action on behalf of the Cuban in surgents ; while public attention, being attracted towards the marked discrepancy between the edi torial opinions of one day and the next, learns that the last was inspired by high official authority, fore shadowing the action of the Cabinet. Its advice is, that the gunboats should either be retained or the insurgents recognised as belligerents, when both parties, being on the same footing, no greater favour would be shown to one than to the other. In Washington it is asserted that at the Cabinet meeting of the 31st August it was decided to in struct General SICKLES to ask immediate action on the propositions recently submitted by him and Mr. FORBES, the belief being that Spain intends to decline, but desires to gain time. In a private letter received at Washington from Madrid, it is authoritatively stated that on the American Minister offering the mediation of the United States between Spain and the Cubans, the Madrid Government demanded as a preliminary that the insurgents should lay down their arms, a pro position which they would, of course, refuse, as they could have no guarantee of protection from the Spanish volunteers, who, it is alleged, have secretly organized to usurp all power in Cuba. General SICKLES was authorised to propose that the United States would undertake to mediate on slavery being abolished in the island, and on the basis of the Cubans paying to Spain the full value of all Government buildings, fortifications, and the like. The Hornet, on being liberated in New York on the understanding that she would proceed to Halifax and thence to Queenstown, appears to have taken on board a fillibustering expedition at the capital of Nova Scotia. The steamer was detained by the authorities, but managed to get her coal and crew on board and hastily to depart last Monday night. At the same time a schooner with 90 men on board sailed from New Bedford, Massachusetts, to meet, as supposed, the Hornet at sea, but a Go vernment vessel being sent after her from New Bedford, they were overhauled on Tuesday, cap tured, and brought back to that port ; and another expedition gathered in the Southern States, under an officer who had served on LEE'S Staff, was also stopped. In the article to which we have above alluded the New York Times, in a few words, gives utterance to the American view. Alluding to the gunboats being constructed for the Spanish Go vernment in American ports, at the same time the export of munitions of war for the insurgents is prohibited, it says : "tt is not seemly for us, as it were, to hold the hands of a people struggling in a cause precisely like that which resulted in the establishing of our own Federal Union , while a Transatlantic Government is beating out their brains with weapons supplied by our own artisans. Flesh and blood cannot endure such an outrage upon humanity, and if Spain cannot see the folly, as well as the madness of it, our Government must open her eyes." After alluding to that the rejection of the proposal for Spain to withdraw under a pledge of indemnity given by the United States, who, acting as trustee, would retain enough of the Cuban revenue from customs as an indirect guarantee for its fulfilment, it adds that a new proposition will be made in sub stance as follows : "Cubans to have tho rights of Spanish citizens and of representation in the Cortes, amnesty to those engaged in the insurrection, and the suppression of slavery in Cuba, with protection to the freedmen. Should Spain accept this proposition, it is stated this Government will try to have peace prevail on tho island." Spain's answer is the shipment of troops and the despatch of men-of-war, meaning the practical re jection of this mediation, and the attempt,by a vigor ous effort, to suppress the revolt before the United States can interfere. This is what she ought to have done at first ; for civilised powers will not endure, particularly those in the neighbourhood, an atrocious civil war to become chronic. In that case there will always be the chance of interference in the name of humanity, if for no other reason, for as both the London Times and the New York Times say, the right of Spain in dealing with her colony is oue thing, while it is another to approve the sanguinary and fruitless means by which she endeavours to en force this right ; nor should a people be encouraged " to maintain by years of strife a dominion forfeited by centuries of misrule." We cannot sec the object of Plum's visit to the Emperor NAPOLEON, as far as Cuba goes, but we have very little doubt, if Spaniards left him to follow his inclination and the EMPEROR'S advice, what course he would pursue. The danger to all lies in Spanish pride, although the leader in the Times of yesterday sneers at the view its Paris correspondent expressed the day before. As they stand the facts are simply as follows :—A war, not of battles, but of cold-blooded executions, continues to rage in Cuba. The United States, sympathising with the cause of the insurgents, which is regarded as identical with that which made the Union an independent Power, is becom ing restless in view of the wasteful and useless de struction of property on American soil, and the Government communicates the fact to Madrid. At the same time, it offers compromises, and retreats for Spain from an untenable position, signifying that if all are rejected and the war continues, that America will not remain a passive spectator. Spain does reject the mediation, but sends off to the seat of war every soldier and ship she can employ, while en thusiasm is aroused, and PRIM hurries to Paris to see the Emperor of the FRENCH. On the other side the PRESIDENT admits Senor DomtNoo Ruiz, a Cuban Representative, to an hour's talk, and last Wed nesday Senor LEMUS had a long interview with Mr. Fisir, the Secretary of State. Coupled with this, we have the sudden and remarkable change in the opi nions of the New York '1 imes, and the open and generally credited announcement of the Cuban Junta that the PRESIDENT sympathizes with them. However it may end, there is here doubtless the material for an explosion, but we hope that PRIM is too wise, and has sufficient control to prevent Spain from drifting into such a national suicide. The latest accounts from Spain are to Thursday evening, and they seem to agree with the Paris papers, which state that the difficulty between the Spanish Government and: the Cabinet of Washing ton concerning Cuba is in a fair way of settlement, though five frigates and other war vessels are about to proceed to Cuba.
