In speaking of the relations between capit a l an d l a b our, he has declare d hi s b e l ie f that in India national safety and advancement de pend mainly on agricultural prosperity. If Lord MAYO can succeed in reconciling the conflicting in terests of the owner, the occupier, and the labourer, and withal induce them to combine to develope the resources of the soil, and thus consult the real interests of the country, he will indeed be fortunate. So far as the present year is concerned, the Governor-General starts with the ad vantage of a surplus ; but, thanks to the famine and the cpium, it is not likely that next year's experience will be equally agreeable. India, however, can very well afford to raise a loan on reasonable terms. thanks to her improved credit; and it is very certain that whatever money is laid out on railroads and irri gation schemes will speedily repay itself with inte rest, by supplying the two great needs of the coun try —an equal and efficient water supply, and a thorough system of communication. Mr. Richard Davison, nrmerly one of the Parlia moutiry representatives for the borough of Belfast, has died in that town at the ago of seventy-two.

At the Newport Police Court, on Monday, a but cher named James was charged with exposing uuwholsome meat for sale. It appeared that the defendant had bought a sheep for 78. 6d., which was in an advanced state of the rot, the meat being poor, wet, and flabby. Defendant was fined £lO, or two months' imprisonment. At Maidstone on Monday night a young lady named Brown threw herself into the Medway and was drowned, the cause of this act being a recent quarrel with her lover. Several persons were passing at the time, but apparently made little effort to save the poor girl, whose body was eventually recovered by drags. According to present arrangements the Hon. Re y rdy Johnson will arrive in Manchester to- day, to be the guest of Mr. fender, at Crumpsall, where a very numer ous party have been invited to meet his excellency at dinner. The public reception, which is the occasion of Mr. Johnson's visit to Manchester, will take place on Thursday. The Echo understands that Miss Saurin's father was formerly steward and gardener to Mr. Smith, of Anna Brook, an Irish landowner. The name was originally Sauruhain, and ho married into the family of the Matthews', of Hanover, in the same neighbourhood. Father Matthews is the maternal uncle of Miss Saurin. We believe that Roman Catholic opinion in Ireland is much divided as to his conduct, and that many are angry with the Freemason's Journal for giving no report of the trial. THE case of Monnisox v. SHEPHERD, reported in another column, should be studied by all persons who are accustomed to take an active part in the management of political contests. As our readers are aware, the last contested election at Plymouth had special features of interest which, fortunately, were not prominent in other elections. Mr. STUART LANE offered himself as a candidate in opposition to Mr. MonnisoN, one of the sitting members. Very shortly after Mr. LANE had comeforward, he made an affidavit of poverty in order to escape the payment of calls on shares in a company which he had got up, for which he had received a large sum of money, which shortly afterwards failed, and which its shareholders now declare to have been rotten from the first. Mr. LANE'S affairs have since then been prominently before the public. lie has had to stand no fewer than three prosecutions. The first was compromised under circumstances which excited the strong sus picion of the LORD MAYOR, a warm political partizan of the same opinions as Mr. LANE. On the second Mr. LANE stands committed for trial at the Old Bailey; the third is still being argued before the LORD MAYOR, and will in all probability be also sent to the Central Criminal Court. That Mr. LANE sliUld have offered himself as a candidate under such circumstances is nothing less than astonishing. Men who have become involved in transactions of a questionable character, however innocently, do not usually become more prominent than is possible. Mr. LANE, whose innocence has yet to be establisbed, A frightful tragedy is reported from Grenoble, in Franco. On Saturday evening Baron Brayer, inhabiting, with his wife and son, aged 14, a private residenca in the Rue Lafayette, was shot by his wife, the baroness, armed with a revolver. The unfortunate woman, reported as mad, instantly fired on her son, whom she shot through the heart. Turning the revolver on herself, she blew out her brains. When the servants, on hearing three successive reports, rushed into the apartment, they found three corpses bathed in blood. Übe Jersey States have been considering a bill to amend the regulation of taverns. The Constable of St. Helier objected to the total closing of pub lic-houses on Sundays, as petitioned for, but he thought that, unless a stop were put to the present state of things, the Jersey race would dig out. The Assombly agreed to increase Considerably the amount of licence duty, and placed certain additional restrict ens on the sale: of spirits by persons other than licensed publicans. A licence duty was imposed on grocers selling by the bottle, and alsc upon sellers of beer and cider. _ _ Mu.

A despatch from the Minister of Greece in London. to M. Delyanni, Minister for Foreign Affairs at Athens, dated December 24th, 1868, is published in the French papers, from which will be gathered Mr. Gladstone's opinion of the unhappy differences between Turkey and Greece. M. Brailas was " received in the kindest manner " by the present Prime Minister, and after detailing some of the cruelties committed by Turkey on Cretan subjects, was answered by Mr. Gladstone as follows :---" You cannot doubt my attachment to Greece, for you have long known me, and are my personal friend; but the existing situation has been produced by a past of many centuries, and presents some problems very difficult to solve ; I understand the embarrassment of your posi tion, and, in my eyes, the question is reduced to knowing to what point the internal troubles of your Government prevent it from strictly fulfilling its international duties." M. Brailas contended that individulals cannot be constrained to conform their action with that of the Government. " What is happening in Greece," he said, " is nothing new ; the same has been seen in Italy, England, and America." "I do not," replied Mr. Gladstone, " dispute the examples you quote. But in Great Britain the Government would never tolerate the regular despatch of assistance to a province in insur rection against a neighbouring State. I have consulted Lord Clarendon, and he tells me that if what is being done at this moment in Greece was attempted in England the authorities could legally prevent it ; you know how much the laws on this subject have been discussed here, and I repeat that the question is one of very high import. ance ; as for myself personally, I desire to be useful to you, and I shall do what I can ; but I see no practical means of aiding you ; however, Greece is under the protec tion of three Powers, and they have the right to inter vene, if you claim their assistance, to shield the Govern ment against interior difficulties." M. Brailas rejoined that he recommended his country to England, for she alone could save Greece. The conversation was then brought to a conclusion in consequence of Mr. Gladstone being obliged to attend a Cabinet Council. THE LATE PLYMOUTH ELECTION. An action for libel, brought by Mr. Walter Morrison, M.P. for Plymouth, against a person named Shepherd, a printer, of the same town, came on for hearing in the Court of Common Pleas, Guildhall, London, yester. day, before Mr. Justice Montagu Smith and a special jury. The libel was contained in a placard largely circulated in Plymouth at the time of the late general election, and signed by "An Elector, once a Liberal, but now a Conservative." The insinuation was that Mr. Morrison had fraudulently formed a drapery business, in which he had an interest, into a com pany, and thereby victimised a large number of shareholders. The defendant had printed th. placard, and as the author (supposed to be a supporter of the Conservative candidate,-Mr. Stuart Lane) could not be discovered, the action was brought against him as the only means by which Mr. Morrison could vindicate his character. When the case was called on, Mr. Hawkins Q.C.. who appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Huddlestone, who represented the defendant, held a long consultation, the result of which was that Shepherd, having been put into the box, and having admitted that he was the printer, but not the author (nor did he know who was) of the placard, Mr. Haw kins, on an apology b e i ng made and the impu. tations fully withdrawn, consented to a verdict for 405., stating that Mr. Morrison, knowing that the defendant was not a man of means, would not press for costs. Mr. Justice Smith held the libel to be " most gross and scandalous." It is a fact worth noting, says the Manchester Guar dian, that among the deacons ordained by the Bishop of Ox ford on Sunday was Shapurji Edulji—a Parsee, we pre- Fume. In India there aro a good many native clergymen, but Mr. Edulji has not been set apart for tho evangelisation of his fellow -countrym en , H o takes his place among the clergy of England, and is at this moment curate of Bur ford and Fulbrook, not many miles from Oxford itself. A native of India is thus appointed to teach an English parish Christianity--a circumstance, we should imagine, altogether without precedent, ; TTIE ASSOCIATED CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. Yesterday morning the annual meetingof the delegates of the Associated Chambers of Commerce commenced at the Westminster Palace Hotel, Mr. Sampson S. Lloyd in the chair. There was a very large attendance of members. The subjects of discussion are upwards of forty, and are— bankruptcy law reform, treaty of commerce with Spain and Portugal, United States tariff, Canadian tariff, collec tion of the income and assessed taxes by the Inland Revenue, income tax, assessment and collection of taxes, county courts amendment, abolition of light dues on shipping, county court admiralty jurisdiction, pilotage, coast lights, new route to China, registration of partnerships, reduction of postage on circulars, carriage of small parcels by the Post Office, reduction of local postage, post-office tele graphy, decimal weights and measures, to-operation, establishment of tribunals of commerce, ocean postage, uniform international systems of coins, weights and measures, foreign bills of exchange, technical educa tion, the rights of belligerents so far as they effect private property at sea,accommodation bills, extra charges on goods removed inland under bond, the equalisation of stamp duties on inland and foreign bills, registration of trade-marks, Government control of railways, factory Acts, carriage of silk goods, &c., &c. The report, a most voluminous document, was read, and the CHAIRMAN congratulated the meeting on their tenth year of existence. They had thirty-seven chambers asso ciated together, and, unlike some other public bodies, they had a balance in the hands of the treasurer. He paid a high compliment to the satisfactory movement that bad attended their efforts in many ways; and, with respect to the coming session, looked for an improved bankruptcy law, and the regulation and protection of trade-marks. Mr. PHILLIPS, of Bristol, moved the following resolution on bankruptcy law reform : " That the commercial community having endeavoured for the last ten years past to obtain a satisfactory reform in the bankruptcy law, and this association, as well as other commercial bodies, having repeatedly expressed opinions in favour of the bankruptcy law of Scotland without success, which want of success is attributable to the question being left in the hands of the Government for the time being: Resolved, that this association do authorise and request some independent members of the Commons House of Parliament, to bring in a bill for carrying into effect the desires of the commercial community in this respect, viz., the adoption of the Scotch system, as established under the Act of as nearly as circumstances will permit, and that in pursuance of this object, the bill brought into 1 the House of Lords by the late Lord Chancellor, Lord Cairns, be referred to the members who may be selected for the purpose. That some private member be requested to bring in a bill as above described, and that a com mittee of thi3 association be appointed, empowered, and requested to reader them all the assistance in their power, in the name and on behalf of the association." The following gentlemen were nominated as the com mittee : Mr. S. S. Lloyd, Colonel Akroyd, M.P.,. Mr. Norwood, Mr. S. Morley, Mr. Hunt, and Mr. Bruton. Mr. MottLEY, M.P., seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously after some discussion. Mr. llaaT, of Leeds, proposed a resolution to the effect that there rhould not be an abolition of imprisonment for debt. He considered it would be advisable that the chamber should express its opinions, so that the Attorney-General might know what the Associated Chambers desired. Mr. Mora,Ey, M.P., was strongly opposed to the imprisonment of a debtor, and should hesitate before he pledged himself in favour of that principle. He thought that the abolition of imprisonment for debt would purify the system of credit, and was, therefore, strongly in favour of the abolition. Mr. C. Norwood, M.P., for Hull, Mr. Birkin, of Nottingham, Mr. Maxted, Mr. Barber, of Nottingham, Mr. Lupton, of Leeds, Mr. King, of Plymouth, and other gentlemen deprecated the abolition, and the resolution was adopted by:thirty votes to eight, as follows :—"That this association is of opinion that the abolition of imprisonment for debt is uncalled for and inexpedient, inasmuch as it is not productive of pressure upon the debtor." Several other resolutions on the question of bankruptcy law reform, embodying the principles involved in the resolution already passed, were withdrawn. A resolution expressing the desire of the Associated Chambers that the law of Ireland should be assimilated to that of the United Kingdom, and further, that on the insolvent trader should rest the burden of proof that he had tried to act with honesty, and kept his books reasonably clear, was carried. COUNTY COURTS AMENDMENT ACT. Mr. GIBBS, of Wolverhampton, proposed a resolution on: this subject as follows : " That the Cuunty Courts Amendment Act of 1867 ought to be further amended by some such clauses as the following, viz. :-1. An action may be brought in the county court of the district where the debtor resides ; or if the plaintiff gives security for costs, in the county court of the district where the plaintiff resides. 3. In any action for the recovery of a trade debt, as defined by sec. 3of the Act of 1867, to which an unsuccess ful defence has been made, the order shall be for payment within fourteen days, unless the creditor shall expressly agree to take payment by instalments or at a later date. Mr. WRIGHT (of Birmingham) seconded the resolution. Mr. NORWOOD, M.P. for Hull, said he had introduced a bill into Parliament on this matter, but it bad not any clause on the point of security for costs. The resolution was carried. The comparative statement of pauperism in the eleven divi. ions of England and Wales for the month of November, 1867 and 1868, has been issued. With two exceptions, there was a considerable increase in every divi- Eion of the number of paupers receiving relief during each week of 1868 as compared with 1867. EXTRAORDINARY LONGEVITY. —The following illustrations of prolonged existance appeared in the obituary of the Times of Tuesday. The deaths of four ladies and as many gentlemen are recorded, whose united ages amounted to 669 years, giving an average of 83 years, seven months and 14 days to each. Of the ladies, the youngest was 80 years of age, and the oldest 87 ; of the opposite sex, the youngest was 80, and the oldest had reached the great age of 91. One of the latter had been for 64 years a domestic in a private family, and was the last survivor of three fel!ow-servants whose united terms of service exceeded 150 years. FARM LABOUR.—On an arable farm it will usually be found that more men are wanted in summer than can be conveniently employed in winter. At the same time it has ever been our plan to keep as uniform a set as possible in all seasons. This has been managed by setting aside for the winter jobs which, if done ' in summer, would interfere with the harvest, root culti vati•.;n, &c. Such work will be topping of trees, trimming hedges, cleaning ditches, and such occasional pieces of hedge -throwing as may have been determined upon. This hedge -grubbing we do in the dead of winter. It is done at a fixed price, and, as our bailiff says, you need not look so closely after men when they have their "own work " in hand; but when they are at work for the master, on all sorts of odd jobs, and on short days, there is no knowing where to find them within a mile or so. The price paid is 6d. per perch for grubbing and levelling the whole wood, "mocks" (stumps) and "moors" (roots) belonging to the men. This furnishes them with a good supply of firewood, and with all they get no bad addition to their ordinary wages ; albeit, if done by day-work, it would cost the farmer double the money.—Chamber of Agricul tov Jairnal. Kt:FORTS ON FOREIGN MANUFACTURES AND COMMERCE. A Blue-book has just been issued containing the reports of her Majesty's Secretaries of Embassy and Legation on the trade and commerce of the countries in which they reside. The first on the list are the United States o. Colombia, where, Mr. Bunch tells us, the nations: revenue has been seriously affected by the political Crisis. More than half the Customs' revenue is especially hypothecated to British creditors. The immense coalfields which exist in Colombia., perhaps the largest in South America, have as yet been scarcely worked. It is satisfactory to find from the Austrian report that both the imports, and the exports of Austria shew a considerable increase, the foreign commerce having returned to its former channels, and the evil influence of the war being over. The bountiful harvest produced an immense exportation of grain, and the inauguration of a more liberal commercial policy has already reaped its reward. No less than 100 pages of the Blue-book are devoted to the report of Mr. Thurlow on Java and its dependencies. This account of the Dutch East Indies, which contains a suggestion for the benefit of the English mercantile fleet, who have a chance, in the event of the monopoly of the Dutch shippers being abolished, of securing a good share of the carrying trade of the Dutch Indies. The principal item in the trade of Baden is the tobacco culture, which is very popular among the peasantry and more remunerative than any other product. Italy exhibits a somewhat discouraging commercial table. The Customs Department attribute the general depression to the monetary crisis at the begin ning of the year, the forced paper money, the cholera, the war, the failure of the silkworms, and the grape disease—a chapter of accidents long enough to account for a good deal. The report from Belgium spews that the imports of steel from England have increased considerably since 1867, while those of steel bars have decreased. The trade in iron of all sorts Flews a decrease in the imports from England, while the importation of machinery from Englandhas experienced a marked diminution. In the cotton trade there has been a revival, English imports occupying the first place. Com mon paper is exported to a large extent, England taking more than one-half. Of the Russian trade we have fewer details, Mr. Rumbold having been only a very brief time at his post. Great Britain takes nearly four times as much of Russian goods as does Prussia, the next largest customer. Russian trade has developed rapidly during the last ten years, and still makes steady progress. THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBUI?Y ON THE SERVICES OF THE CIIURCH. At the meeting of Convocation on Tuesday the subject of Ritualism and the Privy Council judgment came before the Upper House. The Archbishop of Canterbury read portions of the letter he had addressed to a rural dean on the subject. It referred to a memorial addressed to him. His Grace said :—" I need scarcely assure you that the memorial will receive my most careful attention, and that I shall not fail to consult my brethren of the episcopal bench on the subject whenever an opportunity occurs. At the same time I would express my opinion that the recent decision of the Privy Council in the case of ' Martin v. Mackonochie' has ruled merely two points—namely, first, that lighted candles may not Le used in the celebration of the Holy Communion except for the purposes of light; second, that it is not lawful to consecrate the elements kneeling. I would observe that all persons ought to be very cautious in dealing with the judgment of the court, and that obiter dicta, or reasonings by which such a conclusion is arrived at in the document which announces such decision must not be considered as part of the judgment itself. They appear to me to be only valuable as indicating how such points might be decided if they were at any time brought before the tribunal which has pronounced the judgment and ex- pressed it in the document in which such obiter dicta are found. My opinion is, that in matters not positively settled, where any doubt arises in a clergyman's mind, or where there is any dispute between a clergyman and his parishioners, such clergyman is bound to consult his ordinary, who, after considering all the circumstances, will be ready to decide for him how he ought to act. lam not of opinion that there is any advantage in having services in different places, and under widely different circumstances with varied congregations, all brought to one stereotyped and invariable form. A certain amount of liberty with respect to music and various other matters is evidently contemplated by the law of our Church, and I do not suppose that our bishops would ever be found willing to interfere with this liberty, or that they would be doing their duty by so interfering." CHILD MURDER IN NETVGATE. A singular case of child murder has been brought under the notice of Mr. William Payne, the City coroner, at an inquest held in the chaplain's-room of Newgate Prison, on the body of an infant girl, named Mary Jane Baker, aged 4 months. The deceased was the daughter of a young woman very ignora,nt, and who could neither read nor write. She had never been brought up to any occupation. Though she was but 25 years of age, she bad been frequently convicted of trying to pass bad money. Last October, while undergoing a sen tence of eighteen months' imprisonment for that offence in the Westminster House of Correction, she gave birth to the deceased child. Shortly after the birth of the child her sentence expired, and she was liberated. During the latter part of the month another charge of passing bad money was brought against her, and she was tried on the 2nd of December at the Central Criminal Court, and having been found guilty, was sentenced to five years' penal servitude. Dr. John IL. Gibson, th e prison surgeon, deposed that when he was called into the prisoner's cell on Monday morning, a n d w h en he saw the child lying dead he said to the prisoner, "How did this happen?" She replied, "I pressed it against my breast, and I meant to do it until it was dead." lie told her that be would be obliged to tell the prison authorities what she had stated, and she said, " I will tell them myself." There was no mark of violence upon the body, but the post mortem examination sheaved that the deceased had died from the effects of suffocation. The unfortunate woman was called into the court by order of the coroner. The depositions of the other witnesses were read over to her, and she was asked if she had any question to as k t h e witnesses. She replied, " N o ; I have d one it , and I am very sorry. for it." A verdict of " Wilful Murder" against her was returned. LAW AND POLICE, - P -- THE POST OFFICE DIRECTORY.—In the Vice-Chancellor's Court, on Tuesday, before Vice-Chancellor James, a case was heard in which Mr. Kelly, of the Post Office Direc- tory, sought to ;strain an infringement of his copyright by the publishers of the "Architects, E ng i neers, and Building Trades Directory." Mr. Kelly had obtained an injunction ex parte during the long vacation. The defendants had put in an answer denying the charge of piracy, stating that they employed fifty persons for personal canvass, besides 800 local correspondents. The case was not concluded. A PRETENDED OFFICER OP THE CHANCERY COURT.— ,At the Marlborough-street Police -court Charles Hill was charged with fraud. The prisoner, it will be remembered, represented himself as an officer of the Court of Chancery, and by telling persons that property left to them was in the jurisdiction of the court, be obtained money for fees. The magistrate remarked that it was astounding that London people should be so readily taken in, and remanded the prisoner. REFRESHMENT HOUSES.— On Tuesday the keeper of a refreshment and lodging - house was summoned at the Thames Police Court for having infringed the Public -house Closing Act of 1864, by keeping open between the hours of one and four in the morning. The magistrate held that the duty of proving that the persons served were not lodgers rested with the police, and as they were unable to do so, the summons was dismissed. ROBBERY BY RAILWAY OFFICIALS.—Four men, em ployed on the Midland Railway as engine driver, goods guard, stoker, and pointstuan, were charged at Chester field with stealing seven quarts of port wine at the Stretton siding. It seems that, owing to frequent robberies from the goods trains on this line, two detectives were employed, who captured the prisoners. The bench having heard the evidence, committed all the men for trial, and refused bail. DEATIT OF BARONESS GRAY OF GRAY.—We have to record the death of Madelina, Baroness Gray of Gray, which occurred suddenly at Edinbunth on Saturday last. DEATH OF A NAVAL VETERAN.—W C have to annonnce the death of the oldest officer in the navy, viz., Admiral Davies. He was the only survivor of Lord Howe's action on the glorious Ist of June, and died at Bath, on Sunday last, in his 91st year. lie preserved his senses to the last, and was highly esteemed by all whc knew him. COUNTY COURT PROCEEDINGS.—A short measure has been prepared by Mr. Norwood, Mr. Akroyd, and Mr. Mundella fur facilitating proceedings in the county courts. It simply provides, that actions for goods sold and on bills of exchange may be brought in the district where the plaintiff carries on business, and extends tc county courts the Bills of Exchange Act, 1855, in all case: in which the sum mentioned in the bill or note exceeds .e! in amount, and is not payable by instalments. Judgment may be bad in default after personal service in certair cases. - THE LATE EDITION of "THE SUN" at W. SMITH'S ' , Camden Stores," 78, Park-street, Camden town. THEATRE -ROYAL DRURY- L A NE.
