The Ballot is a case in point. This once despised nostrum now commands almost universal support from the Liberals, and is even. looked upon by many Conservatives as a refuge from the tyranny of Liberal masters. At the monthly meeting of the Reading Working Men's Conservative Association it was agreed that the Ballot would do good in some constituencies. Unfor tunately, secret cannot be introduced to a few places and foll,.- r i to others. The Conservatives cannot use the Bal:ot against Liberal masters with out having it also employed against Welsh land lords. I RIi,AEAN'S LL. WHISKY - DUBLIN. EXHIBITION, 1845.

Mr. Hunting (Wheeler, Wilson, and Co.), of Regent-street and New York, presided over an excellent supper, and gave the toast of the evening with much feel ing, which was followed by great applause. Upwards of 200 were present. The entertainment was principally under the direction of Mr. Melton, the honorary secretary, and passed off with every success. LADVERTISEMENT. I —Holloway's Ointment and Pills Low Spirits —Despondency.—Sickness soon weighs down the most buoyant spirits unless they be in sintained by the hope of speedy recovery. This salutary hope may safely be based on Holloway's world-esteemed remedies, which are the safest and most efficient curatives of all diseases as affecting the exterior and interior of the human body. They raise every organ to its natural standard:by purify ing the blood, stimulating the nerves, and dislodging any obstructions in the vessels or glands. In skin diseases and children s complaints Holloway's medicaments are in valuable. For all the maladies to which females are lia , le these remedies are particularly useful in rectifying and strengthening those organs upon the duo performance of whoee functions the health depends, The cause of the rebellion in Winnipeg Territory is said to be hostility to confederation with Canada. Governor McDougall has the appointment of his Legislative Council, and the people are indignant, because they say that he has chosen them from pets of the Canadian Government. News from Pembini, states that the Governor was informed on the 3rd of November that he ra-ist pack up arms and bag;age and leave for Canada. The Red River pconle aro most unwed, end those who are now nentral will not join the Canadian side; but should coercion be attempted they would make common cause with the people. The Red River people say that the Canadian press has representel them to be unfit to exer cise the right of franchise; and, coirequently, to be infe rior to the coloured people of the American Union. They believe that Mr. McDougalrs company,were coining to their country with the determination to carry cut these oppres sive views. BRITISII COLUMBIA. Vincent Colyer, who arrived at San Francisco on the 16th of November, carried with him a petition signed by forty prominent citizens of Victoria, addressed to Presi dent Grant, praying for the annexation of British Colum bia to the United States. Another petition of similar import will be sent to the Queen. The document sets forth in the strongest terms the necessity for forming a political alliance with the United States. The recent note of Earl Granville, urging the British Columbians to affiliate with the Canadian Dominion, has given a new impulse to the feeling in favour of annexation to America. CUBA. Accounts from Habana state that nearly 600 negroes have joined General Cavada since the publication of his order relative to the destruction of the cane crops, and a batta lion containing nearly a hundred mulattoes has also gone over to the Cuban forces. Great excitement has prevailed at Trinidad, in consequence of the treachery of the colonel of the Cazadores de Baza. It was ascertained that he was pre paring to join the patriots with some of his forces. The Cuban Congress have published their manifesto to the Govern ment of the United States on the subject of annexation, setting forththe advantages that would accrue from such a scheme. The Alba of Villa Clara reports that the Cubans had assassinated more than fifty peaceful inhabitants living in those parts. The assassins left in one of the houses a proclamation signed by Callejas, and full of calumnious charges. SOLDIERS MURDERED BY THE SIOUX INDIANS. Official information has been received at Washington from Governor Campbell, of Wyoming Terrritory, con cerning a recent raid of Sioux Indians near Fort Fetterman. It appears that sixty Indians attacked a hunting party and two of the soldiers were killed. The Indians were supposed to have been led by a white man, who was formerly a trader at the fort, and left on account of mur dering a soldier. Governor Campbell is of opinion that the Indians are bent on mischief, but be is in hopes that they will soon be forced to go into winter quarters, and give no further trouble this season. HAYTI. The latest advices from Hayti, brought by the West Indies and Pacific mail, report the conclu sion of a truce at Jacmel between F_alnave's party and the insurrectionists, the latter having gained a victory. Salnave himself was still at the capital, where the steamer Algonquin, which he had purchased from the United States, had arrived. She was to take the Presi dent on board, and then attempt the recapture of such places as arc in the hands of the insurgents. The Algonquin carries six guns, and two other war steamers were in Haytian waters. Captain Stevenson, commander of the schooner Express, flying the British flag, and carrying a general cargo, complains that he was chased by one of the Haytian steamers and boarded, his ship being seized and sold as a prize, and himself kept in confinement. Captain Stevenson has laid his casebefore the British Consul at Jamaica, and asserts that his inward and outward cargo were both per fectly legitimate, and that the Haytian Government bad not informed him of the offence he was charged with. Since Salnave's defeat at Jacmel, his troops have become , much demoralised, and provisions and gold have risen to fabulous rates at Port-au-Prince. COOLIE LABOUR. The Panama Star and Herald gives the substance of :a important law just passed by the Legislative Assembly of Panama in relation to contracts made in foreign countries to import coolie labourers. Such contracts are made effec tive provided that the time of hire does not exceed four years. The patrons may transfer their rights to other persons, and the assigns will then assume all the obligations of the assignors. The judicial authorities will have jurisdiction over all question arising from these agreements, and will see that the parties hired are well treated, have medical attendance when sick, and are not overworked. The patrons will have no powers to punish the hired parties, but must make complaint to the police judges. THE STATE OF IRELAND. The adoption of severe measures in Ireland has, it is clear, been decided upon. The Times Dublin correspondent says that the Executive intend " to strike a vigorous blow at disaffection;" and his statement is supported by the recent Government announcements. The threatened suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act seems to have quieted the most boisterous agitators. For two whole days no outrages have been recorded. The organisers of " demonstrations " also are check mated by the proclamation of the prohibition of these displays. It is rumoured and hoped that the strict repressive measures will be extended to all party processions, whether by day or by night. The Times, in its Irish letter, gives reasons for this course. Nothing, in the opinion of the leading journal, tended so much to popularize Fenianism as it public pageants. So long as it lurked in the secret ears of the conspirators or only moved stealthily about, it was regarded as an outcast with the brand of guilt upon it ; but since it has been permitted to hold. its head aloft, to strut proudly in the thorough fares dressed in green ribands, with the Irish flag flying over it and its bands playing spirit-stirring strains, it assumes a different aspect in the eyes of the multitude. It captivates the vulgar imagination by its attractiveness, and impresses the people with a sense of its formidable strength and. manly courage. It seems to enjoy the countenance of the authorities and the sanction of respectable citizens, and cannot be such a moral delinquent as its enemies would have them to believe. In the glare of torchlight, which it now prefers, its charms are set off with more picturesque effect. It is therefore well that the populace should be relieved from the danger of familiarity with treason in its most fascinating form. The Times also hints that further measures will* be taken ; such measures that our contemporary is sanguine enough to hope for the effectual drying up of the sources of sedition. jERE3IIAH O'DONOVAN nOSSA, ESQ., M.P." The argument of certain ingenious Hibernian that O'Donovan Rossa is eligible as member of Parliament for Tipperary because he has not been " attainted " of high treason or felony, but only convicted of an offence not capital, does not look promising. It is true that, according to Blackstone, when sentence of death is pronounced, the inseparable consequence of the common law is attainder, and not otherwise. But when Blackstone wrote, all felonies were punishable by death. Parlia ment has decided to exclude persons who are guilty of offences much within the capital line. In 1812 a member was expelled the House for embezzlement. Sadleir was excluded because he did not surrender to answer the 'charge of complicity in the Tipperary Bank frauds. These precedents ought to settle the pretensions of O'Donovan Rossa. COMPULSORY LEASES. Mr. Buxton still abides by his advocacy of Mr. Butt's land scheme in a modified form, that is of assuming a lease in cases of occupation above three years, small plots being excepted. This plan, he urges in another letter draws a more rigid line than some others, but it would. really work with less hardship ~in practice. It would be definite, and there would be no interference of courts, nor any interference of third parties buying " good wills," as in the case of the Ulster custom. Moreover, the landlord would be just as able as he is now to obtain the aid of the State in evicting his tenant, should the latter fail to pay his rent, or break his covenants—as, for example, by subdividing his holding. The tenant, on the other hand, would have ample encouragement to enrich the soil, and con struct useful buildings. VALUE OF LAND IN IRELAND. Notwithstanding the tenant-right agitation, it is satisfactory to find that the value of land in Ireland is not being depreciated. Land around Cork—one of the most disaffected of the southern cities—is selling for fair prices. The estates of Lord Lisle, situated in the counties of Cork and Limerick, were put up at public sale in Dublin this week, and got a good price. Other land also seemed to be in T e r 9 ,...4_-_ an tha ,, was some suarp competition as to avers lots in various parts of the country. „ - -• • The Times, noticing the growth of a liberal spirit in the Universities of Oxfhrd and Cambridge. gives a warning against interpreting the present Ipol - e7l:exit respecting university tests as an exclusively 1 beral O:1 . The Solicitor-General la , :ught in a permissive bill fur the removal of University Tests ; there is a large Academical party who advocate their absolute removnl. But this does not arise, the Times thinks, so much from a desire for reform as from a Convic tion that, whilst some change is necessary, the change proposed by the Solicitor-General would be inbiricr " The working members of the University 1..T1 that a system stli:l as would result a permissive measure could hardly be worled at all. The colleges would be divided agaizist creh other, and each college divided against it At'. Some would avail themselves of their power to re move restrictions, others would fight hard ibr re taining them. The election of every new Fell , Jw to the governing body would involve a question of political gain or loss, and perhaps be decided on political considerations. A. Liberal College would attract Nonconformiits till it became a Nonconform ing foundation, possibly illiberal in its turn. A. Conservative College would . be exposed to invidi ous misrepresentations, and religious or sectarian ani mosities, instead of being appeased by the concession, would be more active and bitter than ever." Perfect freedom, the academical authorities think, would be better than such a reform. THE HEALTH OF THE AILCIIBISIIOP OF CAN'TER73URY. The Archbishop of Canterbury is still, according to the reports given of him, progressing towards health. The Lancet publishes an authorised account of his illness. It appears that on November 16th, two days before his attack, Dr. Tait went to his doctor com plaining of singing in his ears, a slight headache, and a high-rate pulse. Mr. Haden prescribed perfect rest. The needful repose the Archbishop could hardly have taken ; for he wrote and dictated some eighty letters on the 17th. On the morning of the 18th when rising he had a convulsive seizure. It was repeated at intervals for several hours. Loss of consciousness, and paralysis of the left arm were the result. The next day there were more convulsions without loss of consciousness; and partial paralysis of the left leg was produced. The paralysis of the leg increased, and became more pronounced until the 25th, from which date an improvement has been steadily maintained. MR. VOYSEY. Mr. Voysey, as everyone must have anticipated, has lost his first battle : the Chancellor of York expressed his surprise on Thursday that he still remained a member of the Church of England. The rev. gentleman first attracted attention, if we mistake not, through the columns of the Spectator. During the summer of 1804 a discussion was being carried on in that journal by Professor Maurice and others, upon the basis of Ecclesiastical Unity. The Spectator itself, upholding as it does the State Church, laid down that the Liturgy of the Prayer Book was the basis. That liturgy, the Spectator said, could hardly be used without a belief such as would warrant prayer to Jesus. The Miraculous Conception came under review in the course of the correspondence. One of tho writers, signing himself "A Yorkshire Incumbent," advanced such startling views on the subject that the Spectator declared its astonishment. " A strange testimony this (said our weekly contemporary) to the value of our subscrip tions." The Yorkshire clergyman had given precisely the same account of Christ's divinity as that so ably defended by Mr. Voysey on Wednesday at York—the view, namely, that all men are God in flesh. There can be little doubt that these two clergymen aro one; for it is hardly probable that the same strange doctrine should be held by two incum bents in the same county. The letter attracted some attention in the religious journals of the time; and was spoken of by the Nonconformist newspapers as " scandalous." LAY HELPERS IN THE cnuncir. One minister, at least, is alive to the necessity of lay co-operation in thd Church. The Rev. Air. Mount& of Newport, Salop, has taken a course which must have some influence. Ho has called together his parishioners and expounded to them a plan for a lay council, with whom ho might deliberate on matters of importance. The details of the ccheme were not decided upon ; but the rev. gentleman's remarks were favourably received. He explained that what Le desired to see in the parish was the for mation of a council, elected by the laity, with whom he might take counsel. When the nation saw in every parish the clergyman no longer exclusively managing the affairs of the Church, but acting as a director and guide, in harmony with his con gregational council 7 we should probably hear less of the laity having too little influence or power in the National Church, and some of the desire for new ecclesiastical machinery on an extensive scale would perhaps pass away. In answer to questions, Mr. Mountfield said the council he contemplated would not be like the guilds. The guilds are close societies. The council he proposed would be freely elected by all the members of the congregation, probably an nually. CHARITY REFORM. There can be very little question as to what is the chief cause of disease amongst the poor. Bad dwellings, bad water, and the like, have each an evil influence ; but if ono agency operates more than another it is th 3 empty stomach. Starvation and disease are almost synonymous. One dispensary physician affirms that half the people who come to him are starving, and have no malady. The good people of Bishopsgate, under the leadership of Mr. Hubbard, late Governor of the Bank of England, are getting up an organisation to aid in feeding the des titute without encouraging . mendicity. They propose a system of visiting by means of which the wants of the poor will be carefully inquired into, and orders for little comforts —to be obtained at a central office—will bo given. It is also designed to set up a kitchen by which poor children may have a dinner once or twice a week, if not oftener. This is a most useful branch of poor relief, and one which is not easily misapplied. There can be no fraud where a meal is given and the recipient is seen to eat it. THE VOLUNTEERS' CAPITATION. The Marquis of Donegal, in presenting prizes to the London Irish Rifles, strongly insisted upon the necessity for an increased capitation grant. He was certain that the volunteer force must greatly deteriorate if something more be not done. There were very few officers now to be had. It was not fair to expect that gentlemen, who gave their time for nothing, should be called upon to pay to maintain troops which, if the country thought them of service, ought to be maintained out of the public purse. It is certainly notorious enough that there are constant changes in the officers' staff of the various corps, owing to the expense entailed by a commission. 'THE GAME LAWS. The farmers' raid against the Game Laws continues with great spirit. The Scottish Chamber of Agricul ture has " interviewed" the Lord Advocate on the subject. This body does not go the whole length or the English farmers. The president informed the Lord Advocate that he and his companions were quite content that the landlords should have the winged game as now ; hares and rabbits were the great source of mischief. The farmer ought to have complete power to kill the ground game, and it ought to be made illegal for • two men to enter into a contract by which the occupants of the land were to be deprived of that right. The Lord . Advocate promises to bring the matter before the Government. BREECHLOADERS. The militia are to be armed with breechloaders of the Snider typo as soon as possible. The volunteers, too, are to have new weapons, their present arms being worn out and unserviceable. It does not ap pear, however,. that the new supply will be other than Enfield rifles on the muzzle-loading system. When are volunteers to have breechloaders? They have long been "coming," and a military M.P. re cently informed a meeting that the happy day was at hand, but this fresh issue of Enfolds does not look like it. INDIAN COTTON AND THE SUEZ CANAL. Messrs. Ellison and Haywood, of Liverpool, are of opinion that too much importance has been attached to the probable influence of the Suez Canal upon the movements of the Indian cotton crop. The use which shippers of Indian produce will make of the Canal depends entirely upon the markets. Hitherto the bulk of the Indian crop has arrived here in the autumn, when the supply of American is running down; but if shipped rid Suez it would. arrive here in the spring and early summer, when the supply of American is large. Is it reasonable, ask the Liverpool authorities, to suppose that merchants will hurry their cotton forward by an expensive route to meet the competition of the cream of the Ameri can crop ? If the supply of American cotton is small, no doubt the canal will be much used ; but not if the Southern States send us a good deal, and prices are low. Prices of Indian cotton, too, will. fluctuate. 1C - Rti l OS te' .06 ia. ero ~ E. ws,
