Still there is the possibility, of course, of such a contin gency arising out of the motion for the second read ing. It is the consciousness of this which lends an interest to the gathering about to take place of a con siderablenumber of Conservative Peers at the town re sidence of the E.lrl of Hannowsr. It is the realisation of the same fact which imparts a Urvour to the enthu siasm manifested within th e se last few weeks by the persons attending one or two rather notable Orange assemblages. But for the sense there is that the Peers may just possibly reject the Bill, which on Monday night or Tuesday morning, is to be passed triumphantly through its final stage in the House of Commons, but for the knowledge there is of that as a bare possibility the bitterest antagonists of the Government scheme of Disestablishment and Disendowment must have yielded to the depressing influence of the universal appreciation of their powerlessness.- The " tyrant majority" wielded by Mr. GLADSTONE 111 his position as Prime Minister at the head of the great Liberal Party, must, but for this remembrance of a forlorn hope, lying in ambush, as it were, in the House of Lords—must, we might say, by necessity, have awed into silence and into the seeming apathy of despair the worsted sticklers for maintaining the Irish Church Establishment as it is. Still, now that the date is fast approaching when there will be put practically to the test the capacity of the Conservative Opposi tion in the Upper Ilonse of Parliament to deal hostily with the Government measure, to the extreme length of throwing it out on the motion for the second read ing, it is scarcely possible to conceive that men of profound s•g-city and of extended experience like the le,adcrs of the Conservative Oi positi)n, not only in that house, but in the whole country, could do anything so insensate or so ill considered in their own interests as to venture upon a course so rash, so idle, and so utterly suicidal as the one referred to, and still seriously spoken of by certain dealers in political canards as actually in preparation. The running of one's head against a stone wall, in the br9ad Loonday light, would be nothing to it. The leap in the dark cannot for an instant be-regarded as THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 29, 1869 anything at all comparable to any such achievement as that now said to be gravely meditated by the chiefs of the Conservative Party. The leap in the dark was avowedly made, as its very designation in timates, in the dark, but with a full sense of the solid and tolerably level ground extending in front of the leapers. But this leap would be, on the contrary, a leap in the full glare of daylight, and visibly and knowingly over the edge of a very formidable pre cipice. In speaking of these matters thus emphati cally, it must be manifest that there is no room what ever for exaggeration. Never did any great question go before the country more clearly or more explicitly than this question as to the Irish Church, its disesta blishment, and its disendowment. It was the alternative, Yes or No, in regard to that that was put to the constituencies of the United Kingdom, at the last General Election, by Mr. DISRAELI and by Mr. GLADSTONE, the former as the Prmtier. then i❑ office at the Head of the Tory Government, the latter as the Premier certain to be in office in that capacity on the formation of any Liberal Government. The Question was plain—the Answer was plainer. Within the remembrance of the present generation no First Lord of the Treasury has ever assumed office with so large and united a body of supporters in the house of Commons. Aided by that immense majority Mr. GLADSTONE has carried his Irish Church Bill through a series of triumphant divisions, up to the date fixed for the Third Reading, when the measure will be passed onwards for further legislative consideration to the House of Peers. Sup posing after all this, supposing in the remembrance of the last General Election, supposing in every one's knowledge of the enormous majority thereby secured to Mr. GLADSTONE as the Leader of the great Liberal party--supposing for the sake of argument that in spite of every consideration of that kind the Conserva tive majority of the Lords were to decide on . throwing out a measure thus distinctly accepted by the House of Commons, thus clearly authorized by the Consti tuencies of the United Kingdom, they would, by so doing, bring themselves obviously into direct oppo sition, not merely with the other and the popu lar branch of the Legislature, but with the great mass of the 1 eople themselves. Men liko the leaders of the Tory Party in the House of Peers, will not, we feel assured, act in any way thus insensately. They will endeavour to modify the Bill when it comes bJore them for their consideration ; but they will hardly venture to throw it out bodily in defiance of the overwhelming majority against them in the House of Commons and in the " Greek will meet Greek," there, when the country. bill has come formally before the House of Lords, and in a certain sense, not in a merely Pickwiekian sense, but in a thoroughly and vigorously Parli tary sense, there " will come the tug of war" between the chiefs of the opposing forces. But it will not be a war a l'oittrance. Of that, at any rate, we are fully satisfied beforehand. MR. LowE is convalescent. Three years ago he was agonised as he pictured to himself and applaud ing Conservatives the ruin that would befall his beloved country if the seven-pound householder were allowed to take part in parliamentary elections. Two years ago he was infuriated when he saw that he had merely exchanged the frying-pan for the fire —the seven-pounder for the two-pounder. Since then he has had a change of scene and a change of air. Five months at the Treasury have had the same effect upon his constitution that five weeks at the sea side have upon ordinary temperaments. He has not only recovered his spirits, but is overflowing with joviality. From the most melancholy, he has become the most jolly member of the House. Even the Abyssinian Budget affords him an opportunity for a joke. Ile deals with figures as a juggler with balls; he chaffs the Bank directors, winks at the committee of the Stock Exchange, and chucks the old lady of Threadneedle-street under the chin. Substantial City men are scandalised by this familiarity, and express a wish that the CHAN CF.I.T.OR of the EXCHEQUER would not be—to put it mildly—quite so " airy." Even Mr. LowE's warmest admirers in journalism think it W:Se to caution him against too great exuberance of spirits. No doubt great allowance is to be made for a newly-recovered invalid. A sudden restoration from the extremity of depression is liable to betray itself in an al and(nt that is more natural than dignified So we must make allowance for Mr. LowE's joke about " five quarters in the year," and for his mock generous concession about " brood mares." But there are limits beyond which it is indecorous for a Chancellor of the Exchequer to go. Mr. LOWE has clearly surpassed them. To say that the money market must take care of itself was unseemly enough on the part of a statesman holding such a post as Finance Minister in such a commercial country 'as England. It was still more unseemly to repeat the remark. It was more than unseemly, it was irrelevant. Mr. LowE does not leave the money market to take care of itself. It is fwbrleoolmwl mightw him, not protection the money market is asking hisith the s b tm u i e t a: o a n a to w s h h o e gaveb swungl et it another in al p e e e r r o s w on d l e \ l a s thoroughfare, answer the complaint of the injured person by telling him that he " must take care of himself." What Mr. LowE proposes to do is to effect a serious disturbance in the Bank balances ; to reduce them unduly at one time, to raise them unduly at another. Nor is this the only objection to his scheme of taxation. It may be very laughable to declare that five quarters' taxes are paid every year; but it is not laughable to pay them. Yet this is what the taxpayers will have to do this year. If this fine, for it is nothing less, were necessary in order to secure the remissions of taxation which Mr. LOWE proposes to grant, it might be fairly open to ques tion if we should not pay the penalty in order to secure the boon. The abolition of the corn duty and of the insurance duty, and the reduction of taxes on locomotion, are clearly worth some sacrifice, if sacrifice is inevitable. But it is not. All that Mr. LOWE had to do was to continue the income tax at 6d. for another year, and to borrow two millions. These two temporary expedients would have secured for us all the benefits which he proposes to confer. But he will not do this. Rather than borrow he anticipates taxation ; that is, rather than borrow for a year he borrows in perpetuity. We cannot but regret that this very undesirable arrangement should have received the sanction of the House. Too much must not be expected from M.P.'s during the Derby Week, but the nation has a right to complain either that Mr. LOWE chose Thursday for the consideration of his Budget, or that the guardians of the public purse were not present to protect the public interests. Mr: W. B. Phillips, son of the late Dr. Samuel Phillips, of the Times, who has lately achieved s 3 marked a success as a "Reader" at the Crystal Palace and the Egyptian Hall, is announced to read at the "Eyre Arms," St. John's Wood, on Monday eveninglnext, the 31st inst. As the programme is an unusually attractive one we make no doubt that the inhabitants of that neighbourhood will avail themselves of the opportunity.

They varied from 14-2 to 13- 2, and many of them savoured more of the boy's hunter than the park cob. The biddings were rather slow throughout.

Emile 011ivier, makes, or hints at, a very important asser tion. M. de Girardin says that the chief reason why he so earnestly strove for the election of M. 011ivier was, that had he been returned for Paris he would speedily have been taken into the councils of the Emperor, and have secured liberal reforms far greater and more important than those hitherto conceded. The Ministry would have been largely remodelled, perhaps altogether reconstituted. But this is no longer possible. M. Emile 011ivier has been returned for the Var, but this is very different success to being returned for Paris. Had the capital elected him, it would have shewn a desire to accept " Liberty under the Empire ;" but its vote of " No confidence " cannot be set aside by M. 011ivier's success in the Var. Moreover, says the Liberte, he is much depressed by his defeat—and, I may add, the Emperor is much depressed also. The information given by the higher class of Liberal journals leaves no doubt that the semi-official papers have been guilty of purposely exaggerating the disturbances which took place in different parts of the provinces during and after the elections. There were slight commotions at Marseilles, Toulouse, Saint Etienne, Lille, Amiens, Strasbourg, Angers, Alby, and another small place ; but of all these that at St. Etienne was the only one of any importance. In more than one place—at Lille for example—the troops were called out without any sufficient cause, and their presence greatly added to what ever excitement may have prevailed before they arrived. The affair at Strasbourg was especially ridiculous. A few children and gossips had gathered on one of the public squares, and a troops of soldiers were immediately marched out. This proceeding of course increased the crowd, but no hostile demonstration was made. At Arras a detachment of soldiers was ordered to load rifles in the presence of the crowd. The general principle acted upon seems to have been to call out troops wherever there was a congregation of people. The soldiers served the double purpose of exciting the mob and of proving satisfactorily to all France what a terrible tumult was raised by the Reds. But though the troops were called out, they were not employed. The riot was frightful ; the mob was furious ; there was no alternative but to assemble the soldiers ; but though they were called out, the great forbearance of the Prefect and of the other Imperialist lambs in presence of the Repub lican wolves prevented any collision. This is about the way the official journals manage it. It was expected that M. D'Alton Sh4e, the Red who was behind M. Thiers and M. Devinck, the official candi date, would retire, in order to secure the election of M. Thiers. He even promised that he would. But now, to the great disgust of even the Republican journals, he states that he will go to the poll a second time, and thus perhaps enable the official chocolate maker to get in. It is whispered that the Government, anxious above all to keep out M. Thiers, is secretly supporting the Republican. The Temps earnestly exhorts D'Alton Sh4e to retire. The case is very simple. D'Alton Shee has no chance ; Thiers has. If the former give way, the latter will be elected, but if not, the official candidate may probably prove victorious. The decision of the Republican is much to be deplored, for everybody save the Government desires M. _fliers's election. He has been beaten in four other places. M. Thiers, in reply to some Republican electors who came to interrogate him, said that he had always been devoted to the principle of monarchy; but he believed that the future Government of France would be similar to that of the United States. It is worthy of note that the Lille election, which rejected M. Thiers and returned an Imperialist, was decided by the large number of county voters with which the Government has swamped the town constituencies. The majority for M. Thiers in the town was two to one ; it was in the rural districts that his opponent won. Had Lille been a town constituency proper, M. Thiers would have carried the election easily ; so that in reality Lille was not an exception to the general rule that the great towns have gone against the Empire. In memory of her recent visit to Paris, the Princess of Wales has sent to the Empress of the French a magnificent basket of roses. Every known variety is comprised in this gigantic bouquet—from the black rose of Holland to the white rose of York. The ironchid corvette Belliqueuse anchored two days back in the roadstead of Brest, after a voyage round the world—the first time that an armour-plated vessel has performed such a feat. She left Toulon on the 29th of December 1866, having thus been absent twenty-nine months. She sailed first across the Atlantic, down the east coast of South America, and through Magellan's Straits, coming round by the Cape of Good Hope. The Journal Offi ciel says :—" The Belliqueu se accomplished this exceptional voyage without suffering the slightest damage, and although in several cases placed in the most difficult cir cumstances of navigation, always shewed excellent nau tical qualities. In all the ports at which she touched she excited the wonder of the population, both European and native, and the admiration of the officers of foreign navies." The Sunday•closing movement is making great progress in Paris. Sunday has hitherto been the busy day of the week here in shopping matters. The change now gra dually taking place is due, not, I fear, to the increased piety of this city, but to the resolution of the shopmen not to work. The masters plead that many women of the humbler order who cannot get out in the week do their shopping on Sundays, and that their needs ought to be consulted. Nevertheless, the movement is progressing. The linendrapers have struck rather than work on Sun days, and a committee of London shopmen, with very praiseworthy feeling, have sent £4,000 to support this " turn out." The general belief is that the men will win, and that Sunday closing will become general. Alr. Glyn has given notice that he will move for a new writ for Stafford next Monday. There was a considerable fall of snow on Thurs day morning on the highest points of the Yorkshire moors. Lord Strathnairn, who has been seriously ill, has sufficiently recovered to be able to leave Dublin for London. Tne Chester Guardian says it is probable the Prince of Wales will open the new Town Hall in August next. Commenting on the colliery accident in Mon mouth, by which seven lives were lost, the Manchester Courier says, it appears that the workings were supposed to bo free from gas, and that open lights wore used in the pit. Mr. Peabody left London yesterday for Liver pool, and will be a passenger in the Cunard steamer to day (Saturday) for New York. The state of his health has pre vented him taking leave of friends, complete repose and freedom from excitement being deemed indispensable to his recovery. The inquest on the bodies of Sergeant Jackson and his son, who were killed on Tuesday, by the falling of a stone cornice at Oldham, was held on Thursday. The jury re turned a verdict of "Accidental death," and coupled with their verdict a recommendation to tho Corporation to appoint some competent person to examine the building, and to see that it is immediately put into proper and safe condition. A public meeting in reference to the condition of the cotton trade has been held at Hyde. it was resolved to memorialise the Government to take prompt and decisive steps in order to obtain a better supply of cotton, for the cultivation of which, in the opinion of the meeting, India possesses a promising field and gigantic resources if the cotton planters there "were placed on the t ame footing as those of America and other producing countries." The meeting also considered it desirable to repeal the duties levied upon cotton goods imported into India, or any other of her Majesty's colonies, and adopted a memorial to Parliament, asking that measures should be taken to bring about the more extensive cultivat'on of cot ton and the removal of the duties complained of. On Friday some formal documents were served for the hearing of the case before the Rev. W. J. E. Bennett, the Vicar of Frome, before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Couucil, on the question raised in the Arches Court whether the Dean (Sir R. Phillimore) is bound to accept letters of request from the Bishop of Bath and Wells without any reason assigned why the Bishop should not hear the chargestf alleged heretical doctrine %n his own court. Sir R. Phillimore has, at his own request, been made a party to the petition before the Judicial Committee, and will appear before their lordships by Mr. Walter Phillimore, barrister, and has appealed. Mr. Edward Tolley, his proctor, Messrs. Moore and Carey, the proctors for the Church Association, will apply for a special day of hearing of the question— Whether without, some cogent reason a bishop should not hear a case of so much importance in his own diocese. A scene" was witnessed at the weekly meeting of the Liverpool Workhouse Committee on Thursday, arising out of the Me refusal of tlio Select Vestry to pay the 611 M of .£2. .ss. lid., due as a church rate upoi the Millrcad Blanch Workhouse, which is in th( parish of Walton. Mr. Sy-ors, one of the Liverpool church wardens, fearing the effect of the refusal upon the col lection of the voluntary church rate for the parish of Liverpool, expressed his intention, either in dividually, or jointly with Mr. Turner, his co churchwarden, to pay the rate, and to appeal to the next Easter Vestry on the subject. A scene of dis order ensued which lasted some minutes, and when the mem bers rose at the conclusion of the business, they assembled a gonip t Mae loud Wit in anp . tone! took place, THE LAND QUESTION IN IRTLAND. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Slll,-4 have been credibly informed that the price of labour in the agricultural districts of Ire land is from 10d. to ls. a day, i.e., from ss. to Os. a week. It must be admitted that this would be quite insufficient to support a wife and family, and probably, in addition, to pay rent for a house and garden. It would scarcely feed an equal number of animals. Under these circumstances the labourer can have no stake in the country worth living for; he is, therefore, ready for any change which might be for the better, and could hardly be for the worse. Ile is, consequently, susceptible of any agitation which might produce a change. He has tried re bellion, but that has been immediately suppressed by the military and police. He has, however, in geniously invented Fenianism, which renders almost nugatory the power of the law, military, and police, and must, in the long run, enforce remedial measures. It cannot but be observed that Fenianisin prevails amongst ~he labourers and all classes who have no stake in the country, and rarely amongst the well-to-do Farmers and shopkeepers. To raise the price of labour to such an amount as to give the labourer a stake worth living for appears to be the political problem to be solved. Ireland is almost a purely agricultural country. The price of labour there fore can only be raised by improved agriculture. Belgium affords an opposite example of the man agement of land which would effect this object. But if this is doubted, a rotation of crops will be suggested at the end of this letter, which would convert nearly half the tillage land in Ire land to the rearing of sheep, and one-fifth to the growth of flax. The manufacture, therefore, of this amount of wool and flax into cloth and linen, in addition to the extra labour required for the improved system of agriculture, would necessarily increase the demand for labour to such an amount as would certainly produce the de sired result. Landlords having utterly failed to , nanage their properties either for their own or other people's benefit, and having caused such a state of affairs as renders life unsafe, it is essentially necessary to find out some other medium by which to rectify the present deplorable and, I may say, normal state of things. It is therefore proposed that Government, which has hitherto appeared to , the Irish people only as the enforcer of the laws, should assume a paternal aspect for them, and in struct both landlords and tenants as to the best way of managing the land of Ireland. To carry out this improved system, it is proposed that Go vernment should employ valuers to value the farms of Ireland in their present state, and offer a lease, say for 31 years upon that valuation, to the occupy ing tenant upon certain conditions, which shall be described subsequently. A Government agricul turist must now be employed to report upon the state of each farm, and to give as approximate an estimate as could be formed of the improvements that would be required to place the farm in the most productive state for cultivation. It would probably require drainage, farm buildings, &c. For example : suppose the estimate amounted to £2OO. hen an offer should be made to the landlord to expend this sum, under Government superintend ence, upon condition of receiving 5 per cent. upon this outlay, in addition to the rent calculated upon in the present state of the land. If the landlord were unable or un willing to make this expenditure, then an offer should be made to the tenant to take it upon himself, upon condition that this outlay should be made under Government inspection, and shall be made a first charge upon the property, so that at the expiration of the lease the tenant shall receive the £2OO. If the tenant refused to make this ex penditure, then it would be necessary to procure the money from some other source, and what source could be more appropriate than the funds derived from the disendowed Church. The expenditure would be national. The money would be lent to Protestants as well as to Roman Catholics. Any sum lent from this source might be made a first charge upon the property, and, like Queen Anne's Bounty, the capital and interest might be repaid in :30 years—the capital by landlords, the interest by tenants. Thus the disendowment and the land question might be made to dovetail into each other, and render an arrangement of both questions much more feasible. Surely such an application of the money derived from disendowment woel.l be far preferable to the Government proposition. Lunatic asylums are a legitimate charge upon land; why then relieve landlords cf this charge? It would be much more appropriate to pre serve the sum derived from disendowment for national purposes than to sink it in 50 years for the benefit of landlords, who, by the shameful misman agement of their properties, have been the main, if not the sole, cause of the present deplorable state of Ireland. The Government proposition for the disposal of the funds of the Church must be so opposed to the moral sense of the nation that the House of Lords would be fully justified in re fusing to pa - s the Church Bill until the Land Bill was first settled. If the Church Bill and the Land Bill could be made to dovetail into each other, it would be a good ground for a compromise between Lords and C o m mons . Thi s i m proved system 0., agriculture, together with the manufacture of wool and flax, would certainly employ four times the amount of labour at present employed, and there fore raise the price of labour correspondingly. It would create a wholesome feeling between landlord and tenant, and strike at the root of all the misery existing in Ireland. To carry out this scheme efficient quarterly inspection by Government inspectors would be necessary, and the conditions of the lease should be enforc e d by a roring commission, which would very much modify the awful consequei,cea prevalent when the law is enforced by persons re siding on the spot. The Government would prac tically prove itself to be a paternal Gov errime t which Ireland essentially requires. This scheme seems likely to promote the most kindly feelings between labourers and their employers, also between landlords and tenants, cemented by the superin tending action of a paternal Government. The national education _should be concentrated upon agriculture. The children in the national schools should be practically taught the best way of crop ping a kitchen garden and cooking vegetables. It is essential that the Irish peasant should not be de pendent upon the potato for subsistence. The fo reign cookery, which is mainly vegetable, should be introduced. Foreigners make extensive use of cab bages, carrots, turnips, onions, leeks, and herbs of all sorts, iu addition to the potato. A small piece of meat boiled with these vegetables pro. duces most nutritious food, and would make the labourer almost independent of the potato, and the increased expenditure will be trifling. They should be taught a proper rotation of crops in their farms, the best way of preserving roots for winter use—the best way of making hay and stack ing it—the best and most economical mode of pre paring food for their stock. They should be taught the mechanism and use of chaff cutters and pulpers; they should be taught the best mode of feeding s heep, cattle, and horses ; they should be taught the best mode of harnessing horses and the best form of cart, and the best mode of using implements of every sort, used either in gardens or farms ; they should be taught how to make manure heaps, and how to save and apply liquid manure. This will be more practically useful than the knowledge they are taught at present—viz., amongst other things, he height of every mountain in the world, the length ol every river, algebra and Euclid, It may appear absurd to statesmen to propose a com pulsory system of agriculture, but as the low price of labour is the main cause of the miserable condi tion of Ireland, and as Ireland is almost a purely agricultural country, and the people intensely igno -ant on that subject, it appears to me that the best .ystem of agriculture should be made a condition of .tvery lease. Holding these views, it remains for me to propose a system of agriculture that certainly would produce the desired result, viz., increase the price of labour to such an amount as would give ~he labourer a stake worth living for in the country, and thus render him contented and happy. I pro pose that each farm that required it should be thoroughly drained and deeply eultiyateo, .a portion of it might even be trenched annually. That it should have appropriate farm buildings ; that there should be five divisions for cropping. The first division should consist of a kitchen garden, lucerne and grass in such proportions as might be most ad visable. The remaining four divisions should be under the following rotation—one-fourth roots, viz., potatoes in as small a quantity as possible, mangold wurzel for the winter food of cattle, and turnips for sheep feeding. The mangold leaves, which should be wrenched off previous to the roots being carried off the ground and stored, should be eaten off by sheep, and the sheep should be penned in such a way as to cover not only the land under mangolds, but also the land under potatoes. This would prevent the land being too much robbed. The turnips should be carefully eaten off by sheep. Every turnip should be pulped and mixed with oaten straw and red clover chaff mixed in certain proportions. Aft r the roots flax should be sown, laid down with red clover or Italian rye grass. The flax should be allowe 1 to seed, so as to produce food to fatten the cattle and the sheep. by intermixing it in a liquid form with the chaff above mentioned. This flax constitutes the second crop in the rotation. Red clover or Italian rye grass would make the third crop of the rotation. The first cutting should be made into hay to sup port the stock in the winter. The second and third cuttings should be eaten off by sheepcarefully folded. The fourth crop in the rotation should be oats. Ac cording to this question nearly half the tillage land that was suitable would be producing wool and one fifth flax. The manufacture of wool and flax pro duced upon so large an area of land must employ a vast number of the population, and therefore assist in raising the price of labour, which ought to be the great desideratum in view. The rotation of crops which I have proposed is only a suggestion, and might be much improved by competent agricultu rists. A Land Bill founded upon some such plan as is proposed in this paper might be passed this ses sion, and settle a question which, if left open, must act most detrimentally upon the country. It would preserve in perpetuity the disendowment fund for national purposes. The Lords have it in their power to enforce some such arrangement as I have proposed. The Government proposition for the employment of the funds derived from the disen dowment of the Church must be so distasteful to the moral sense of the many that the nation would unhesitatingly support them. They might. fairly say that to legislate for Ireland in a statesman like manner the land question must first be con sidered, and if it can be practically shown that it is quite feasible to dovetail the land question and the Church question into each other, many of the Liberal party iu the House of Commons would be but too glad to enter into a compromise upon these grounds, and thus prevent a collision between the two Houses that might be dangerous to the Consti tution. Government superintendence might be objected to, but it would be more likely to act justly and efficiently than any other agency. The quarterly superintendence of Government inspec tors would prevent many difficulties, and induce the tenant by paternal counsel to fulfil the conditions of the lease. The landlords have forfeited all claims to superintendence, for,with rare exceptions, the duties of property have been disgracefully neglected by them. If, however, the paternal superintendence of Government is considered an insuperable objec tion, the measure could be carried out by the Com missioners appointed to receive the disendowed funds, or by some other Commission specially ap pointed. The present Church Bill fails to meet the case of Ireland. It will not increase the price of labour one penny, which is the great object to be effected. I wish to initiate a paternal Government, which would so improve the foundations of society, viz., the people, as to enable the superstructure, which the landlords represent, to be securely founded. My plan would not violate the principles of political economy, for it would only enforce by law the best mode of managing the land of the country, which has been so mismanaged for cen turies, and will continue to be so, to the disgrace of civilization, unless some such plan as I have pro posed should be adopted, and enforced by law. It would eliminate what for centuries has been called by the most eminent statesmen the Irish Difficul , y, and would raise the country from the lowest state of degradation, not even ex cepting the condition of savage countries, to a level with the most civilised countries in the world. The c rrying out of some such measure as I pro pose would convert the Government of Ireland into a reality instead of what it now is--a sham. It would excite the deepest interest in a benevolent Lord-Lieutenant, and give wholesome occupation to the Government officials. It would undoubtedly cause much trouble and responsibility, but a patrio tic Government should not shrink from any mea sure en that account; and though it is contrary to established usage for a Government to interfere directly in the management of landed property, yet the condition of Ireland is so exceptional that ex ceptional legislation must be resorted to. The pro posed measure might be carried out to the extent of the funds derived from the disendowed Church, and work conjointly with the future Government bill. A. 11. G. POLICE IA TELLIG ENCE.—Mis Day. -- THAMES. SIIOPLIFTING.—A foreign girl, named Esther Abrahams, aged 16 years, who said she had no parents living and no Lome wets charged with stealing a shirt and a pair of stays from the shop of Mr. Thomas James, a draper, of No. 79, Cable-street, Whitechapel. The prisoner visited the shop under the pretence of making a purchase, and after look ing at various things departed without buying anything. Two young woman serving in the shop received an inti mation, altar the prisoner departed, which induced them to pursue the prisoner and detain her. She was given into custody, and while passing the shop of Mr. Withers, a bookseller and postmaster, she said to Marriott, a police-constable, 174 H, "Come iu here, I'll show you whet° they are." He went into the shop with the prisoner, and behind an advertising board the prisoner took a linen shirt. She was then taken to the station-house. On the way the bookseller tendered a pair of stays to the con stable. He found them behind another advertising board. The prisoner said she was in distress, and had no home, no food, no friends. Mr. Paget would like to hear something more about the prisoner and her antecedents before he finally disposed of the case. Remanded for a week. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. THE EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT COLONEL TEESDALE'S.— James Gillis and Mary Ann Gillis, husband and wife, the former lately servant to Colonel C. C. Teesdale, equerry to the Prince of Wales, residing at No. 67, Berner& street, Oxford-street, charged with stealing two Orders of the Medjidie, and a largo quantity of other proporty belong ing to Col. Teesdale, were brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt. The evidence showed that the male prisoner was in the service of Colonel Teesdale, and with his wife was left iu charge of the Colonel's house while he was with the Prince of Wales on his travels in the East., and on the colonel's return he dislharged the male prisoner,and afterwards found that he had been robbed of a very large amount of property. He communicated. with the police, and Inspector Hubbard, of the E division, wont to Gravesend and apprehended the prisoner in a bye street, and Police-constable Boyce, 55 E, on going to the prisoner's room in Central-street, St. Luke's, found in a box two Orders of the Medjidie, one of them broken up, and duplicates relating to different articles of the colonel's property, 73 duplicates in all being found matting to property, principally pledged by the female prisoner in different names. On the case being resumed to-day several pawnbrokers assistants attended and produced property pledged by the female prisoner. Inspector Hubbard said that during the colonel's ab sence the prisoners, he had ascertained, had been obtain ing goods to a large amount from different tradesmen in the immediate neighbourhood of the colonel's residence in the colonel's name, but without his authority. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it secured to him that as long as the persons offering the things in pledge at some establish ments did not say the things were stolen they were readily taken in. In one case it was shown that an assistant to Mr. At terborong3i, of Oxford-street, had taken in a dirk and Highland costume from the female prisoner, and Mr Tyr. whitt expressed a hope that the ju Igo would remark on the circumstance of the dirk, although bearing tilt colo nel's crest, having been taken in on the alvauco of 10s. The prisoners were committed for trial. DuNvir,LE and Co., Belfast, are the largest holders of Whisky in the world.

On Wednesday morning, Thomas Mort, a haulier, sea 18 years, met with his death at the Morfa Coalo , near Aberavon. It seems that he had been sent doltu to the deep to hitch some trams by a man named Dummer, and as he was always ready to do a turn for anyone when it was in his power, he went at onca• and it is supposed that he was riding on the chain or tram up the incline, when the chain broke and the carriages went over his legs, breaking both in several places. It was a very long time before his companioag could take him to the top of the pit, and then they had two miles to take him to the surgeon. Ere this hour had elapsed, he expired on the road, undoubtedly from loss of blood. MORE IRISH OUTRAGES. A telegram from Ireland informs us that three men' having their faces blackened, attacked a farmer, named Whelan, on Thursday, at a place called Rathcormac, is the County of Waterford, and beat him to death Wit h stones and sticks ; one of them also shot him. Whelan had taken a farm from which the former tenant had been ejected. _ _ A telegram from Cork gives the news of another dastardly assassination in the county of Tipperary. f farmer named Peter Power has been brutally murdere d at Rathermack, near Carrick-on-Suir. His body va 4 found upon the road on Wednesday, his skull being felt' fully battered in. It is believed in Cork that the crime has nothing to do with any differences concerning the occupation of land. A cousin of the deceased who bad been in deceased's company has disappeared, and on° arrest has been made. At Birdhill, near Nenagh, someone hurled a large stone from a bridge as the train passed beneath, which brok e into one of the carriages.

Mr. Bessemer's rail patents expire in February next, and the only patentee's charge with which Bessemer steel rail will then be saddled is one of 2s. Gd. per ton for the use of his improved converting plant. The present royalty o n rails is £2 per ton; on each ton a drawback of .£l. nominally allowed, but the nature of Mr. Bessemer's er'' rangements with regard to scrap, crop ends, wasters, itn" is such that the true royalty on every ten of Bessemer rails delivered to a railway company—in other words, sold —amounts to about £1 ss. 6d. After the lapse of Mr. Based' mer's patents in February, 1870, this sum, all but 2s. 6d. Per ton royalty on plant, will be saved ; and, therefore, in Mern b next year rails may be bought for at least £1 3s. P er ton less than they cost now. Under these circurc" stances it is obviously the interest of railway compsoi el not to buy steel rails till next spring. But unless steel rail/ are bought immediately they will not be made. No mane' facturer in his senses will make steel rails on stock which will lose for a certainty £1 17s. 6d. per ton of their value 11 being kept for nine months —Engineer. MR.

Mr. Roebuck has written a letter acknowledging the receipt of a bo o k con t a i n i ng th e na mes o ' ., the subscribers to the testimonial recently PI!: sented to him. He adds :—" As I suppose this 1 0 ' be the last political act of kindness that I shall r?" ceive from my friends of Sheffield, I seize upon z i as an opportunity to express, if possible, the strong emotions of my heart, roused as they are by the re colle?' tion of all that h as p asse d d ur i ng th e m an y l on g years 111 which I acted as their representative in the House 04, Commons.

These may seem proud so swelling words, but without fear I say they are true words ; and had I not so acted I should indeed have been unworthy. They who chose me honourably trusted roe; they confidingly put a great power into my hand s, believing that I would use it only in a way that I sho d deem conducive to their good, swayed by no WV Or s personal objects, thinking only of the great interests n' my country, making her happiness, her honour, and he a r glory the light by which my path was to be guided.

A SHOEMAKER'S' SEWING MACHINE. The Engineer contains a description of a shoemake r : . sewing machine, which has recently been perfected' Exactly ten years since, it says, a Mr. Lyman Blake patented in England an improvement on the American Wickersham sewing machine, the object being to enab le it to sew on the soles of boots. Tne rigidity cf the boot, as there was no welt to connect the upper with the O le ' made the system a most inconvenient one. There we e also a difficulty with regard to repairs ; and the mwob in ,, A e could not be profitably used for " children's" work. T h e projection of the stitching on the inner sole was t. reverse of comfortable in walking, and although it I T ': endeavoured to remove this objection by the insertion of a sole or sock, it proved to be only a temporal expedient. The sole soon became uncomfortable to the foot, and had to be drawn out, leaving the sewil l % to g, , t destroyed by the moisture of the foot, wh e° riveting or pegging had to be resorted to to patch it ° These considerations occupied the careful attention Messrs. John Keats, William Keats, and William Clark, the inventors of the Crispin sewing machine an system of boot manufacture. The object was, in the o_, place, to secure with two threads, capable of being ne e ' when waxed with shoemakers' wax, seams which could, n°t be made sufficiently solid by the ordinary sewing machin' which does not admit of the use of shoemakers' wax. ill the second place, they desired to manufacture bymachined welt-sewn boots which should be equal in quality to the t very best hand-sewn boots, and at a price approaching th e ' of riveted boots. The first patents were taken by John le fetj a and William S. Clark for the Crispin sewing machine, on by William Keats and John Keats for their impro ved system of boot construction. The chief characteristi c ° the Crispin sewing machine is the combination of a 11°° : if A " and a shuttle instead of a needle and shuttle, and the advantages of this arrangement are twofold. First, t he thread, not having to pass through an eye, can b e thoroughly saturated with th e wax, which is neither squeezed out nor scraped off by the eye ; and, secondlY, the hook in descending has no thread in it while piercing t he leather, the hole made is no larger than the size of the hook, and a thicker thread can be used, so as to fill the hole with th rea d an d wax. Th e shuttle and hook b eili ; , both situated a b ove th e t a bl e on w hi c h th e wor k is plac e d ' the stitch is fo r med on the upper surface of the work , e i that the operation can alwaysbe seen. The stitch produc e , is a twisted lock-Stitch, which makes the firmest se wer known. The machine is arranged to be driven I I power, and a stop motion is applied by means of a fe° ,, lever, which stops the motion of the machine ins tan t „AA in any part of the stich, leaving the operator both 11.:The at liberty with which to manipulate the work. .

After satisfactorily testing the C rie fl3 machine at this work for three years, during 1 1111- 0 time some hundreds of thousands of seams have b closed, it was decided to adapt this machine to the O facture of boots having welts to connect the uppers ands` together, according to the system before alluded toss hnr nii been patented by Messrs.
