SUM LONDON, FRIDAY, AUGUS7 13, 1869 Silent throughout the whole of the past session, Lori STANLEY has spoken, immediately upon the Prorogation. His is the very first of what are ab surdly called extra-Parliamentary Utterances. The occasion was the thirteenth annual gathering of the Ormskirk and SouthportAgricultural Association, on Wednesday last, at the former locality. A speech upon agriculture, delivered by one of the most clear headed and practical among living Statesmen, is something refreshing in its way, after what Mr. BRIGHT would call so much childish tinkering over Life Peerages in the Lords, and after so much arrogant legislation by a tyrant majority in the Commons in regard to a work still regarded, we presume, by Mr. DISRAELI, by Mr. HARDY, and by Dr. BALL as one simply and solely of sacrilegious spoliation. Having had so long dinned into our ears that—until but yes terday it almost seemed—interminable theme of dis cussion, the Irish Church Question, any other sub ject in the wide world comes to us exhilaratingly and refreshingly, whatever it is. So long as it is not the Irish Church Question, so long as it has nothing whatever to do with thelrish Church Question—it has the chance of novelty, or at any rate of comparative novelty. But—Agriculture ! From the very nature of things, the selection of such a theme as that, to begin with, is like an invigorating breath of country air after just a little too much, in its way, of town life. It bad its attraction, we doubt nut, for Lord STANLEY himself when it came first of all to be submitted to his consideration. Particularly after his protracted silence as a public man, both inside and outside the walls of Parliament. At a few days notice, as he says himself, he accepted the invitation to preside at Orms kirk over the proceedings. And—as he adds— he consented to take the chair " with all the more pleasure because during the last three years duties of a very different kind, the nature of which they knew, had caused him to see far less than be could have wished of his friends anl mighbours in incasiiire." After referring, in a complimentary manner, to the evident progress made within that interval by the local association, the noble lord spoke, with reason, in warm tams of commendation, of societies of this particular character. Ex hibitions or shows like these, he remarked, were most useful and valuable as a means of intro lucing to the publ:c the newest improvements, whe ther in cultivation, or breeding, or the manufacture of implements ; adding, however, that those great shows, as it seemed to him, bad hardly reached the smaller class of farmers as generally as one could wish, such being a matter of importance, in a district like Ormskirk, seeing that the small farmer was there the general rule. " There were hundreds of persons," he said, " who would pay a shilling to go into a show near home, who would not incur the expense of going half over the county to see a show even upon a much larger scale. In the matter of prizes, too, it was at these comparatively small gatherings," he argued, " that the small holder had a chance of getting a prize, as, while he would not challenge a whole county, he would not be afraid to challenge his immediate neighbours." Lsrd STANLEY by no means flattered the farmers of Lancashire. His eulogiums were throughout carefully and well - considered. They were in no way rose - coloured. They were fair, frank, and manly in every particular —for the simple reason that they were, as we have said, well-considered. "He had to own," he observed, " and he always had owned, that there were counties in the south of England which had got the start of Lancashire, but he doubted whether there was any part of England where —comparing what they are, with what they were a generation ago—practical agriculture had made so rapid or so continuous a progress." Drawing upon his own individual recollections, he said that he remembered within the last thirty years the time when the townships of Rainford, Bickerstaffe, Kirby, and some other towns were, to a great extent, occupied by what were there abouts called mosses. They had a little of that land yet, and he held that a little was too much—but compared with what existed a generation ago the greater part had disappeared. Upon the reclama tion of waste land, in effect, he expatiated, imme diately afterwards, with considerable gusto. Drain age he spoke of as, in a moist climate like this, a matter of sheer necessity—and he, sugges tively enough, remarked that he would un commonly like to see, for example, " a return of the millions of tiles which had been buried in the soil within a few miles of that town during the last few years. Any one counting them, and reckoning the cost, would be apt to say, as a friend of his once said, that a landed estate was a devouring beast, and yet he might say there had never been money better spent." Homely, practically hints of advice like these are better than all the philosophizing in :the world in regard to a progressive service like that of farming—particularly when thrown out in tile course of a popular speech addressed to an assimbly chiefly composed of small farmers, as was the one delivered on Wednesday last down at Ormskirk, when Lord STANLEY, while he happily broke at length his own protracted silence, very admirably inaugu rated, by an earnest speech upon agriculture, the va ried addresses delivered betweea session and session outside the walls of the Imperial Legislature. Two Canadian topics, bearing upon ourgeneral rela tions with the colonies, appeared in so;mewhat unsatis factory juxtaposition in the House of Commons on Thursday evening.

Conclude with BORROWED PLUMES. was 805 the Confederation Act was passed. The measure provided for the union of several smaller colonies to Canada, and steps were at once taken for the incorporation of the great Hudson's Bay Territory under the same reyiiue. These negotiations, however, lasted long, and have only just terminated by an agreement between the Company, the Canadian Government, and the English Ministry, in virtue of which the first receives £300,000 from Canada, England to help the colony by guaranteeing the loan for the required suni. It is clear that this is a just exception to the wise rule recently laid down of not guaranteeing loans for the benefit of the colonies on the security of British taxes. The question is one of good faith and of our own interest. An arrangement of the kind was contemplated in the Confederation Act of 1865. The guarantee, moreover, has been promised by the English Ministry. It is true that an Act passed in 1865 does not necessarily bind the Parliament of 1869, equally true that all money pledges by the Cabine are subject to the veto of the Legislature. But here he bargain is decidedly equitable. Canada has the greater interest in transferring the territory, and therefore she pays the money ; England has a less interest, and therefore guarantees the sum with out incurring the actual burden. had not the Hudson's Bay Territory been handed over to the Dominion, it must have been either left to the evils of an unsettled Government or formed into an expensive Crown colony. From this choice of evils we are cheaply delivered by a guarantee for £300,000. So far from this loan being in continuance of the old system of pledging our security for the advantage of others it simply frees us from costly colonial responsibil We have not the less reason, however, to be dis satisfied with the return which the Canadians have made for this and other efforts on their behalf, some of which may fairly be termed disinterested. For several years the English Government has laboured to consolidate a powerful State in North America. No sooner does this work approach successful com pletion than the Parliament of the Dominion deliber ately pass an Act to deprive British inventors of their rights. By this measure no British subject or foreigner can hold a patent in Canada. All discoveries in England or elsewhere out of the colony are appropriated in the Dominion without recompense. No patent, in fact, in Canada is valid unless the inventor himself have resided for twelve months in the country. Canadian inventors find protection in England ; but English inventors are to be robbed in Canada. Verily, we may justly complain that we are an ill-used race. The money of the British taxpayer has been and still is poured out like water for protecting colonies against invasion, guaranteeing their loans, and providing them with cheap government. In return British manufacturers are shut out from Australia by a heavy tariff, and British discoveries are confiscated in Canada by a patent law which is only for the benefit of the Canadians themselves. Well may the house of Commons feel dissatisfied. Well may the taxpayer entertain doubts whether for a good deal of money he does not get worse than nothing in return. The fact that the colonists do wrong will not indeed absolve us from the responsibility of doing right. England must fulfil her duties to her depen dencies; but surely the relations between the old State and the new ones would be improved if the colonists were not so systematically to follow out the principle of getting all they can from us and giving us injury in return. to guarantee the loan by which the Cana dian Government will pay for the Hudson's Bay Territory, Mr. HOWARD was complaining with some reason that the Colonial Legislature had passed an Act depriving British inventors of patent rights in Canada. Whilst the English are assisting their brethren in America to extend and consolidate their Dominion, the later reciprocate by confiscating the property of English patentees. The contrast is certainly not pleasing, though the two questions have no immediate connection. Our duty in the matter of the loan—Mr. MONK's opposition notwith standing—is clear. We ought to give the guarantee. The transfer of the immense region known as Ruperts' Land from the control of a private company to a regular Government is a matter of Imperial importance. Previously to 186.7 i the whole of British North America, except Canada and the other eastern colonies, was nominally subject to the rule of the QUEEN, and was yet under the administration of the Hudson's Bay traders a wild and inaccessible district, without a settle, Government, subject to incursions from the Indians of the United States, and to constant disputes between the trading company which claimed this entire region as its property and the settlers who colonised portions of it. I desirable that such anarchy should cease, and it was agreed that by far the most advantageous change would be to add the territory to Canada, in further ance of the scheme by which all the British-American possessions were to be consolidated into one State THE AMSTERDAM EXHII3ITION. Like most other buildings on Dutch soil, the New Palace of Industry has a foundation of wooden piles, on which alone between £15,000 and £20,000 were expended. The superstructure is constructed of cast-iron, wood, and glass, but the proportion of the latter to the other materials is small when compared with the Crystal Palace at Sydenham. There can be no doubt, however, says a reporter, that, as far as architectural beauty goes, the building here far exceeds the one in England :—" It is small. When standing at one end of the gallery, and looking through the nave, it does not appear much longer than one of the wings of the Syden ham building, and its height is about two-thirds of the other. But its proportions are really exquisite. The architect, Mr. Cornelius Ontboorn, deserves great credit for the symmetry and grace which it displays. It con sists of one principal nave, supported by very slender cast-iron columns, which give it an appearance of light ness. But the side-halls, which are joined to it, and its moderate height, prevent it from having that appearance of scaffolding which irresistibly strikes the visitor at Sydenham when glancing at the two empty galleries. In the middle of the nave rises an oval dome to a height of 62 metres, or about 250 feet, on the top of which a female angel is placed, in what I suppose the Dutch consider to be the most angelic attitude, balancing herself on her right foot with outstretched wings. The whole of.the outside is painted in a stone gray colour, which makes it a pleasure for the eye to dwell upon after having been annoyed by the dull brown of the brick houses around." 711 E ROYAL MUSIC lIALL. Last evening an entertainment of a very pleasing nature was given at the Royal Music Hall, Holborn, the occasion being the benefit of Mr. Maclagan, the Scottish vocalist. The programme comprised a selec tion from the opera of "Mary Stuart," for Miss Rus sell, Mr. Corrie, and the whole strength of the com pany; then came the Scotch strathspey and reel players, Messrs. Carter, Browning, Ackerman, Richards, Stewart, and Macgregor; next the per formances of the Highland pipers of the Scots Fusi lier Guards ; then the Highland dancers, Messrs. M'lntosh, M'Dougal, M'lntyre, and M'Donald; and finally, Mr. Maclagan's popular "Scottish Enter tainment." The music and dancing was more than usually excellent, the celebrated Sword Dance " Gillie Callum" producing a perfect furore. Mac lagan was warmly applauded throughout the evening for his exertions to please the audience, and a more successful termination of the evening's en tertainment could not have been wished. The proprietor of the hall, Mr. Sweasy, evinced the greatest desire to secure the comforts of his patrons, and Mr. P. Corrie, the manager, and musical director, was, as u3aal, pleasant, cheerful, and painstaking. Apart from the special performance of last evening, the entertainments at the " Royal" Music Hall are now of more than ordinary excellence, and it is particularly gratify ing to see that the exertions of the proprietor to set before his patrons nothing but what is really good are appreciated as they deserve to be. I NTERNA77ONAL BOAT RACE. PUTNEY, Thursday. Mr. Lord, the Thames Conservancy Superintendent of Works, this morning attended, by special request, to fix upon a day for the above race. In an int3rview, in which Mr. Blakey (tho gentleman who represents the American crow), Mr. Tinn6, President of the Oxford University Boat Club, and Mr. Loring, Captain of the Harvard crew, were present, the matter was fully discussed, but no arrangement was come to, and up to the present time the day of the race is uncertain, but it may be later than was expected. The early part of the morning was exceedingly wet, but as noon approached the rain cleared off, and at twelve o'clock the Harvard gentlemen went up the river after trying a new sot of oars. They went fast, and with some improvement. Shortly after 12 the Oxonians went out in their new boat, built by Jewett, of Dunstan, which appears a very fine craft. Their rowing is strong and firm. Both crews are very well. The Oxford gentlemen, with much kindness and con sideration, have, wo hear, left the future of the race to the Harvard gentlemen. The British bark Babalva, Captain Hyde, arrived at Boston, Sunday, July 25, front Foo-ch.)w, China, with a full cargo of teas, comprising some 10,000 packages. The present season has w it nessed a revival of t h e Chi na t ea trade, the direct importations at Boston having been more numerous than for several years past. Lindley Murray, of grammar renown, is said to have resided for the space of two and-twenty years in one front parlour without going out, attended upon by a kindly old maid, enamoured of his principles and his protor-pluperfects, living chiefly on boiled mutton and turnips, and solacing himself in the intervals of conjugat ing verbs by grinding a barrel organ.

The crew bad only just time to get cn the latter vessel when she sank. They have been landed at Yarmouth. THE SHEDDEN CASE —A petition has been pre sented to the House of Lords on behalf of "Shedden and Another," praying their lordships on a future day to hear and consider their evidence, and to adopt such measures as shall lead to the judgment of the 30th of July last, including the order for payment of costs, being annulled or reversed. A new claimant fur the Breadalbane peerage has appeared, in tho person of M tjor- General Frasor, late Colonel of the Royal Marines. General Fraser claims to be descended from the Royal houses of Erne° and Stuart. Sir Roderick Murchison, who is now in the High lands, has received through the Italian Minister the an nouncement that the King of Italy has conferred on him the distinction of Grand Officer of the Order of the Crown of Italy. The name of the Dean of Canteibury appears in the list of vice-presidents of the newly-organised Protestant Dissenters' school at Mill-hill. The prospectus states that the school is to be conducted henceforth on "broad and liberal principles." Mr. Richard Young, of Osborne House, Wisbeach. has been appointed a del - lily-lieutenant of the county of Camtridge.

The Conference of the Delegates of the Wesleyan Reform Union was resumed on Wednesday at the Bethesda Chapel, Bradford, under tho presidency of Mr. Chamberlain, the Mayor of Windsor. Several questions in reference to the Church organisation were discussed, and resolutions passed in favour of the Temperance movement, and ex pressing the thankfulness of the meeting at the passing of the Irish Church Bill. The business terminated about four o'clock. TLIE TWELFTH OF AUGUST ON TUE YORKSHIRE MOORS. —The eventful "twelfth" is passed. The reports from the moors in the neighbourhood of Bingley, Keighley, and Haworth, and in the districts of Craven, in the West Riding, are extremely satisfactory. The birds are stated to be both plentiful and strcng on the wing, and good sport is anticipated. CONVOCATION.—Sir Travers Twiss, the Vicar- General of the Province of Canterbury, and Mr. F. Hart Dyke attended at the Jerusalem Chamber, 'Westminster, on Thursday morning, for the purpose of proroguing the Provincial Convocation, which stood adjourned till that day. At the request of the Vicar-General, Mr. Dyke read the schedule signed by the Archbishop, declar. in.; the Convocation adjourned until Friday, the 20th of October. AUTUMN SESSION OF THE CONGREGATIONA L UNION.—We hear with pleasure that the Rector of Wolverhampton, the Rev. J. 11. Iles, has expressed his desire to reciprocate the hospitality which Dissenters of that town shewed when the Church Congress recently assembled there. He will himself accommodate a couple of visitors, and recommends his friends to do likewise. Without such help from friends of other denomi• nations the Congregationalists of,Wolverharepton couldnot bestow the numerous guests whom they hope to welcome next October, but this kindness on the part of the rector will help to set their anxieties at rest.—English Inde pendent. From the division list of the House of Commons for the session 1868-69, which has just been issued, we gather that there were during the session in all 160 divi sions. Of these, 29 wore taken on the Irish Church Bill, 9 on the Marriage with a Deceased Wife's Sister Bill, 11 or the Parochial Schools (Scotland) Bill, 4 on the Sunday ane. Ragged Schools Bill, and 4 on the University Tests Bill. There were also 5 divisicns on the Dublin Freemen Com mission Bill, and 4 on the Bankruptcy Bill, A DISCOVERY AT POMPEIL—A discovery of much interest has just been made in Pompeii, which, be sides being quite novel of its kind, will lead, perhaps, to a fuller knowledge of the plan of the old city. In one of the rooms of a house lately excavated a fresco painting has been found representing the Circus as it was before the great eruption. Close to it is a large building, no traces of which have been ever recognised, but which the Commandatore Fiorelli is now engaged in seeking. Vesuvius has renewed ,its menaces, shocks of earthquake having been registered last Tuesday and Wednesday. The Lords of the Admiralty have, says the Pall Mall Gazette, determined on appropriating some of the largest vessels of war attached to the reserve in the Medway to a better use than rotting out a useless existence in what is aptly termed "Rotten-row," several of the largest of the wooden steamers and other vessels of war having been se lected from the reserve and fitted up as training ships for outcast boys at the several out-ports. The Mars, a fine en amoured two-decker, of 2,570 tons, and of 400 horse-power, has had her engines taken out and the necessary alterations made, and has just been despatched to the Clyde, where she will in future be employed as a receiving and training ship for outcast boys wishing to enter the Loyal Navy or the Mercantile Marine. THREATENED STRIKE OF DOCK LABOURERS.-- A great deal of discontent exists among the permanent labourers employed by the London and St. Katherine Dock Company. The directors lately issued an order which the men consider very harsh. It has been the practice at these docks to grant to the permanent men three days' leave of absence annually, and this boon has now been withdrawn. During the past week a number of meetings of the men have been held, at which the conduct of the directors-has been condemned. A deputation from the Dock and Wharf Labourers' Association will wait upon the directors of the company this morning, p ray i ng them to rescind the orders complained of. The men do not hesitate to speak of extreme measures in the event of their request being refused. 111 R. GLADSTONE.—The Premier's late illness arose, it appears, from an attack of mucous diarrhcea, which was severe, and at one time, through the pressure of anxious and unavoidable work, threatened to be obstinate. On the 2nd inst. the disease was subdued, aid Dr. Andrew Clark, under whose professional care Mr. Gladstone has been, gave a reluctant assent to his resumption of official duties. On the 6th there was a slight relapse, which was completely overcome by the Bth. On Tuesday, suffering only from the weakness incident to such an illness, Mr. Gladstone proceeded on a short visit to Walmer Castle, where we trust he will speedily recover his accustomee health and strength.— Medical Times and Gazette. TELEGRAPHIC EXTENSION IN AUSTRALIA.—The telegraph is being gradually but surely extended along our eastern seaboard in the direction of the head of the Gulf of Carpentaria, and so towards Java, Singapore, and the Indo-European line, to put us in direct communi cation with Europe. Already our wires nearly reach to Cardwell, Rockingham Bay, from which there is a sur veyed line across the peninsula to Norman Town and Burke Town, at the head of the Gulf, a distance of some 500 miles, A resolution was passed in the Legislative Council on Wednesday last, affirming the desirability of carrying the line to these towns. The resolution has been sent down to the Legislative Assembly, and will no doubt be adopted.—Brisbane Courier, June 12. A COLLIERY DEPUTY ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF 400 MINERS.—At the Barnsley County Court, a case has been heard in which a serious neglect on the part of a deputy was shewn to have placed the lives of 400 miners in jeopardy. The action was brought by John Crughty, formerly an overseer at the Dartield Main Colliery, near Barnsley, to recover £3 Bs. Gd., one month's wages, from the company for alleged illegal dismissal. It appeared that the plaintiff was a deputy, and as such he had a right to see that the brattice work which regulates the ventilation was within twelve feet of the face of the coal. It was one morning dis covered. that the bratticing was eleven yards from the face. On this becoming known to the manager, another man was put in his place, and hence the action. In cross-examination the plaintiff adinitted that the brattice was not kept to the face, and as his reasan for not keep ing it up, he said that he overslept himself on the morn ing of the 28th June. It was stated that the plaintiff's neglect placed the men's lives in jeopardy.—His Honour, in giving judgment, referred to the recent colliery disasters, and pointed out the consequences which might have fol. lowed the plaintiff's conduct. He gave a verdict for the defendants, with all costs and advocate's fees. The com• pang, however, declined to take any costs save travellipg tanning,. The second report from the Select Committee ap pointed to control the arrangements of the kitchen and re freshment rooms in the House of Commons, states that during • the present session, up to the 4th August, 12,795 members • dined in the refreshment rooms. Tho Committee believe • that the management of the rooms by Mr. Nicholas continues to give satisfaction; for, although they have received a few complaints from members during the present session, Mr. Nicholas has very promptly rectified any fault so which his attention has been at my time called. The committee re peat their complaint of the very insufficient accommodation which is afforded to members for dining, and state that they have received numerous protests to that effect. Tho com mittee, in accordance with those complaints, desire earnestly to impress upon the house the extreme desirability of this defect being remedied with as little delay as possible. A SUGGESTION.—I have often thought that it would be a great advantage —not merely to literary men, but to all who had much writing to do in the way of business— if short-hand were regularly taught in schools. I find, on inquiry, that the art is practised by comparatively few, except the regular reporters for the newspapers, and the short-hand clerks employed by solicitors of large practice. The time lost in writing the ordinary long hand is enormous; and, as few men can acquire dexterity in any art after twenty, I would suggest that short-hand classes be formed in all public and private schools ; and then, in the course of a few years, we should have a regular corps of stenographers. Writers for the press might send in their copy to the printers in short-hand, and educated corn p s itors would, by an easy mental process, translate and transform such copy into the ordinary long-hand of letter press. In fact, a good acquaintance with short-hand might be an indispensable qualification to the admission o; every lad into the printing business. Some defined system of short-hand would, however, have to be adopted ; and I know of none better than Pitman's. Perhaps some one may adopt this suggestion, and organise it into svatem.-rOnCe a IRO. Mr. W. IT, Sylvia, President of the Labour Union of the United States, died on the 27th of July at Philadel phia. He was an indefatigable champion of the lower classes. It was at his instigation chiefly that the General Labour Congress of 186 G was brought about, which agreed to a distinct social and political labour platform, and resulted in the establishment of the National Labour Union, a confederacy for political purposes of all the trade societies of America, the working women's associations included. "lie was an ardent opponent of strikes, and used to say on every occasion that the money spent by the ironmoulders 'on strikes would have been sufficient, if applied to co-operation, to acquire all the ironmouldina of the country for the operatives. By his exer tions upwards of a dozen co-operative foundries have been established in various parts of America, all of which are in a highly-flourishing condition. Such was the man, a veritable son of toil, whose loss, at the premature age of 41, is mourned by hundreds of thousands —from Maine to California; from Florida to the Western boun daries of civilisation—and as the progress of the labour movement in America must inevitably react upon the old world, their loss is ours." VOYSEY AND THE ARCHBISHOP 011 1 YORK. The Archbishop's reply to the Ilev. C. Voysey's letter of July 31, is published. The Archbishop (who addresses Mr. Voysey as "My dear sir") says he is inclined to think that on consideration Mr. Voysey will regret the tone of his letter. But in any case Dr. Thomson can not, by replying to it, open a public correspondence in The annual volume of "Judicial Statistics" states that I connection with a pending trial. The Archbishop denies, through each division of the statistics, police, criminal however, that he is " not acting in this matter on his own proceedings, and prisons, and under almost every heading conviction of what is best, but from external pressure." an increase appears in the numbers for 1868 as He has not yielded to external pressure, but to a sense of compared with the preceding year ; i n th e what he thinks i s d ue t o th e Ch urch.
