The physical condition of King VICTOR EMMANUEL is such that the tidings flashed to us by telegram are to the last degree alarming. Although living for years past the healthy life of a huntsman, the KING'S frame has of late become bloated and unwieldy, as though from the over-indulgence of a habitual volup tuary. Upon a form thus full-blooded, a mortal disease, once taking possession of it, inflicts, in an incredibly short time, fearful ravages. It is, conse quently, alarming, as we ,have said, to the last degree when the items of intelligence conveyed by telegraph include among them such intimations as those now rapidly following each other from the hunting seat of San Rossore, where the KING now lies apparently at the point of death. Such telegrams, for example, as these—" The King of ITALY is in great danger"— " Prince and Princess NAPOLEON are ready to start [from Paris, that is] and only wait for another de spatch"— " To-day's dinner party- at the Palais Royal [i. e. Saturday's] is put off"—" M. NIGRA [the Italian Ambassador at the Court of the Tui leries] and a physician are at the Palais Royal"— this telegram adding, " The physician thinks the last news very bad." Another account dated from Florence says that Prince CARIGNANO has gone to San Rossore evidently in expectation of the worst. One Parisian paper of yesterday says that confidential despatches transmitted from Florence to the Em peror NAPOLEON state that the condition of King VICTOR EMMANUEL leaves no hope of recovery. An other Paris paper states that, according to a private despatch, the life of the KING is almost despaired of. The official bulletin published at Florence on Satur day declares that the KING experienced an increase of fever, which became marked as the night advanced. Yesterday afternoon the following official bulletin was issued at Florence :•—" San Rossore, Sunday, 9 a.m. The miliary eruption made its appearance last night, and at present time there is no mitigation either of the fever or other symptoms." " 12.55 p.m. The KING'S condition has slightly improved since this morning, and his MAJESTY is some what stronger." Although that last morsel of information appears to have been more hopeful in its character, and although even later news, up to 3.45 p.m. yesterday, from San Rossore, confirmed it by stating that the im provement still continued—the last news of all re ceived, dated 9 p.m., adds, significantly, that the KING'S condition was " unsatisfactory." In the morning (that is, yesterday morning), VICTOR EM MANUEL had been informed of the serious nature of his illness, when he immediately sent for his confessor, and received the sacrament with the greatest tranquillity in the presence of Prince HUMBERT and Prince CARIGNANO. Everything indeed seems to indicate that the lest scene of that strange career is approaching. Upon the lips of VICTOREMMANUEL the preservation of the tranquillity of Italy is immediately dependent. Directly he dis appears, the revolutionary party in the north and in the south will take heart. And this at the very time of the approach of the CEcumenical Council ! Whatever may arise, NAPOLEON 111. is again Master of the Situation. To him and to his policy will now an HA•NJwu rani C.1.U11.101.1 v.. vs.& BY a curious coincidence the prelate who origi nated the last debate in Parliament on the Statute of Prremunire has by his death revived the discussion on the same subject. It was on February 15, 1848, that the late Bishop of EXETER presented a memo rial from the clergy of the Archdeaconry of Bucks praying the House of Lords to " deliver the Church from one of the greatest oppressions, one of the most intolerable violations of the rights of conscience which had ever been inflicted upon any Church since the era of Christianity." The circumstance which gave rise to this strong language was the appointment of Dr. lIAMPDEN to the see of Hereford in the previous December. Dr. HAMPDEN had, a dozen years before, been appointed Regius Professor of Divinity, and thereupon he was accused of heresy by certain persons at Oxford, many of whom had never read the book which contained the alleged offence, and one of the foremost of these had the fairness to acknowledge, after reading the book, that there was no good ground for impugning Dr. HAMP DEN'S orthodoxy. Nevertheless, he was censured by the Convocation of the University of Oxford. The censure had about as much effect as that of the Essayists by the Convocation of the Province of Canterbury. The censured persons in each case went on preaching and teaching as before ; and as in the one case so in the other, censure was not considered a disqualification for the office of bishop. But there was opposition in the Chapter of the vacant cathedral. Dean MERE WETHER and one of the canons voted against the election of Dr. lIAMPDEN, just as Sub-Dean TROWER and Archdeacon FREEMAN will vote against Dr. TEMPLE on Thursday. Dean MEREWETHER was unwise enouirh to inform the PRIME MrisasTErt, that he intended to resist the appointment of the Bishop designate of Hereford ; whereupon Lord JOHN RUSSELL curtly acknowledged this announcement of the DEAN'S inten tion to violate the law, and hinted at the pains and penalties which he might incur under the Act of Prtemunire. Fortunately for the DEAN a great majority of the chapter were for electing, and so he was enabled to indulge in the luxury of a conscience without fear of penalty ; for it is one of the provisions of the Act that if the nominee of the Crown is elected, those who opposed the election have not rendered themselves liable to punish ment for attempting to break the law. Thus it came to pass that Dr. HA3IPDEN became Bishop of Hereford. Dean MEREWETHER became his fast friend, and from the date of the BISHOP'S election to his death, twenty years afterwards, not a word more was heard of his heresy. So no doubt it will be with Dr. TEMPLE. The men who so bitterly oppose his election now will a few months hence be tacitly admitting their mistake. Dr. TEMPLE will be reckoned as orthodox as any of his colleagues; and when at last he passes to the world where the words heresy and orthodoxy are unknown, there will be no one to say a word against him, but—for in this respect we trust the parallel will not be complete—a good many persons to speak of his energy, a quality which Bishop lIAMPDEN certainly did not possess. Yet though we have the fullest confidence that the present appointment will prove a case of " All's well that end's well," we are bound to admit that the Statute of Prremunire is a very barbarous one. It derives its name from its first word. It provides that if a dean and chapter refuse to elect, or if a bishop refuse to consecrate a person nominated to a bishopric by the Sovereign, such person will be placed out of the protection of the Sovereign, his body will remain in prison during the royal pleasure, all his goods will be forfeited to the Crown, he will be unable to bring an action or to recover any damages for the most atrocious injuries, and no man can safely give him aid, comfort, or relief. In fact, he is treated as an outlaw, without the outlaw's chance of _liberty ; he is treated as a felon, without the felon's right of protection. Nor is L this all. It is provided that any person who has an objection to the election of a bishop named by the sovereign, shall on the confirmation of such bishop in Bow Church be summoned to state his objection; and if he answer to the summons he is told that he will not be heard, but must keep silence. Now there is no need for solemn mockeries of this kind. There is no need for the Dean and Chapter to pray for the divine guidance on their deliberations if they are not allowed to deliberate ; no need to summon objectors to state their objections if they are not allowed to open their mouths. These shams have an ugly look in a practical age like this. Moreover they irritate and give needless offence. There is no doubt that the Act of Prwmunire was originally political in its object rather than ecclesiastical; that it was in tended to guard the right of the Sovereign against the Pope rather than to secure to the Crown the right of selecting its favourite theologians. For that reason, as well as others, there is no necessity for retaining on the statute book a measure so thoroughly out of keeping with the age in which we live. While we admit that chapters and bishops have a clear grievance, the remedy is not so clear. Any altera tion in the appointment of bishops would open the whole question of the relations between Church and State in a manner that would be very dangerous to the connection between the two at such a critical juncture as this. Of course if the clergy generally were of the same mind as Dr. PUSSY, or if the laity thought with Mr. CORRANCE, and felt that they would rather sever the uniJn between Church and State than submit to the appointment of a bishop who had once bound up an unobjectionable university sermon in a volume which contained some objectionable essays, the matter would be clear enough. It would then remain only for Mr. GLADSTONE to bring in his Irish Church Bill again, substituting the words " Church of England " for " Church of Ireland." But we imagine the great majority of both clergy and laity are not for such an extreme step. If they are not, what do they wish done ? Lord COTTENHAM urged, during the debate which the late Bishop of EXETER originated, that if the QUEEN'S right to nominate Bishops is to be main tained there must be a penalty against those who refuse to obey the QUEEN'S mandate. But why have any election at all ? It is a pure farce. It did not exist in the Irish Church. The QUEEN has now lost the power to nominate bishops in that Church, but so long as she and her predecessors possessed it the power was absolute, and the deans and chapters had not even a nominal voice in the matter. Of two things one : either discontinue the appoint ment of Bishops by the Crown, which is equivalent to the separation of Church and State ; or, if the power of appointment remains with the Crown, let each appointment be an act complete in itself, without the troublesome and sometimes conscience disturbing formalities of an election and a con firmation. There is no fear now that men of immoral lives will be appointed, as they were in the earlier Georgian days. It is the Minister who really appoints ; the Minister who is responsible to the nation, and who will not venture to defy public opinion. It may be said that the present appointment to Exeter is a proof to the con trary. We deny it. Dr. TEMPLE'S appointment gives satisfaction to probably more than half of the clergy, and ninety-nine hundredths of the laity. It would be wise for the first to consider well before they alter the present state of things. If the appointment of bishops should be transferred from the Crown tO the Church, laymen will not suffer themselves to be excluded from the act of election ; and if they are once admitted to vote, bishops of very much " broader" views even than Dr. TEMPLE will be the order of the day.

MOORE AND THE O'DONOOR UE --4, The following appears in the Irish Times of Saturday:— "In consequence of a speech delivered by Mr. G. H. Moore at Navan, in reply to The O'Donoghue's letter to the Amnesty Association, The O'Donoghue sent a hostile message to Mr. Moore demanding a meeting in France or in Belgium. Mr. Moore replied, naming Major Lynch as his friend, and stating that Major Lynch would proceed at once to the Burlington Hotel, London, where he would await the arrival of The O'Donoghue's friend for the purpose of ar ranging a hostile meeting as proposed. On the 3rd of November Major Lynch received a letter from Mr. P. J. Smyth, on the part of The O'Donoghue, asking him to appoint a place of meeting. On the same day Major Lynch wrote to Mr. Smyth, appointing Boulogne for the purpo e in question, and stating that he would meet Mr. Smyth en Friday afternoon at Boulogne. On Friday morning Mr. Smyth expressed to Major Lynch a wish that an interview should take place between them for the purpose of avoiding, if possible, the necessity of proceeding to the Continent. Mr. Smyth expressed his willincness to withdraw The o"Donoghue's letter to Mr. Moore, in ease an arrangement could be carried cut between them; and Major Lynch agreed in the same case to withdraw Mr. Moore's letter in reply to The O'Donoghue. These preliminaries having been complied with, Mr. Smyth asked for a withdrawal of certain passges referring to The O'Donoghue contained in Mr. Moore's speech at the Navan meeting, and Major Lynch having drawn his attention to the expressions in The O'Donoghue's letter to the Amnesty Association, which Mr. Moore believed were intended to apply to him, and to which that speech was a reply, Mr. Smyth assured Major Lynch that The O'Donoglrue' letter to the Amnesty Association was not intended to apply to Mr. Moore personally. Major Lynch, on the part of Mr. Moore, had no hesitation in declaring that if Mr. Moore at the Navan meeting used words cal culated to impute dishonourable motives to The O'Donoghue in the discharge of his public duty, he did not consider him justified in making such an imputation, and as for his allusion to the O'Donoghue's Irish distinction, Mr. Moore disclaimed any intention of casting a sneer upon the ancient family of The O'Donoghue. (Signed) P. C. LYNCH, P. J. SMYTH. Burlington Hotel, London, Nov. 5, 1869." ATROCIOUS MURDER IN WALES. - -4.- An atrocious murder has been committed in the neigh bourhood of Conwil, Carmarthen. The victim is a woman, named Esther Davies, tht wife of a fanner, living at a farm called Blaendaed. The house is situate in a very secluded part of the country, near the village of Llanpumpsaint, on the Carmarthen and Cardigan line of railway. About half past eight on Thursday evening Mrs. Davies was in a room at her farm in the act of preparing supper, when some person unknown fired at her through the window. The charge entered her body ju t below the heart, and passed out on the other side. Deceased staggered and fell, and some men in the room ran to her assistance, bus she expi ed in about twenty minutes after being shot. The persons in the room at the time were two servant men, a boy, and a female s:lvant. The bullet was subsequently found in a door behind the place where deceased was standing when shot. It had entered an inch and a half into the wood, but has since been ext acted, and is now in possession of the police. On the following morning marks of the murderer's feet, in stockings, were traced across two fields, but the trace was then lost. In consequence of some circumstances which have been brought to light a brother of the deceased woman's husband has been taken into custody. The evidence against the accused is exceedingly meagre. It appears, however, that the deceased, who was quite a young woman, being only 22 years of age, has been married only a few weeks, and that before her marriage the two brothers were paying their addresses to her. The husband, who is a man in com fortable circumstances, was absent from the house when the murder was committed. The American papers state that Father Hyacinthe had been indisposed, and was not quite recovered. Nothing definite was known as to his departure for Boston. • The Bishop of Oxford will hold his eighth and last triennial v'sitation of the diocese of Oxford on Thursday rext in Christ Church Cathedral, when it is expected his lordship will, in his charge, take a review of the leading events of his remarkable episcopate of twenty-four years, and convey his valedictions to the clergy. The Rev. Pre bendary Mackarness will, under present arrangements, be consecrated Bishop of Oxford on St. Thomas's Day, De. cember 21. CHILD FARMING.—The Observer understands that the Council of the National Education "Union have decided that a deputation shall wait on the Right Hon. G. J. Goschen, the President of the Poor Law Board, to protest against any extension of the child-farming system, which is reported to have been introduced at Warwick, such system tending, in the councils opinion, to counter act the great exertions now being made to improve the system of general national education. NEW COUNTY GAOL FOR CUMBERLAND.—A new prison for the county of Cumberland has just been com pleted at Carlisle, at a cost of £lO,OOO. After the passing of the Prisons Act the magistrates found that the old gaol, which was erected in 1824 at a cost of £42,000, was not adapted for the separate system, the adoption of which then became compulsory. It was found necessary, therefore, to pull down the whole of the prison buildings within the boundary wall, and rebuild them upon plans in accordance with the requirements of the new law. During the hearing of a case at the Liverpool Police-court, on Saturday, when some persons were pro ceeded against for keeping a house of ill-fame, it tran spired that four little girls, three of them 13 and one 14 years of age, had been decoyed to the house, and sent upon the streets with address cards, and instructions to " pick up gentlemen," and take them to the den. These children belonged to respectable parents in Dublin, had run away from that city and made their way to Liverpool for the purpose, as they stated, of seeing Ilingler's Circus. ELOQUENCE, OR A LAZY REPORTER F—Mr. Digby Seymour has achieved a few triumphs as an e loquent speak( r at the bar, but we doubt whether the following is n,,t the most signal of them. A. Lincolnshire paper, d, scribing the learned gentleman's speech on a recent occasion at Louth Sessions when defending a clergy man against a somewhat serious charge, says :—" Mr. Digby Seymour then rose and made a few brilliant remarks, which were so enthralling that we were spell bound, and could not take a note. The learned counsels speech was received with breathless attention." THE BISHOP OF OXFORD.—An address from the rural dean and clergy of the deanery of Deddington, Oxon, a dopted by forty-one out of the forty-two clergy resident in it, was recently transmitted to the Bishop of Oxford, and his lordship's reply is as follows:—" Rev. and dear brethren,—lt is with the deepest pain that I echo back your affectionate farewell. I thank you with hearty grati tude for all the ready and generous help you have rendered me in the discharge of my duties here, and for all your for bearance and kind judgments of me. May the blessing of Almighty God rest upon you all, in your persons, in your families, and in your work.—l am ever, in ties of strong affection, most sincerely, your faithful friend and brother, a OXON." Tilt LAW'S DELAYS AGAIN.—Can nothing be done to facilitate the business in the Court of Chancery? A case has come within our personal knowledge where a friendly administration suit, commenced three years ago is not yet concluded. There was only one doubtful point of law, which was determined by the Vice Chancellor in six months. The estate was in securities readily convertible into money, and there were no debts to be collected. An accountant would have settled the whole matter in two months. But for three years the parties entitled under the will have been kept out of interest as well as principal, and if they had been poor must have starved while the estate was being slowly wound-up. Delay means costs, and so, besides the being kept out of their money, they find a large share of it swallowed up in costs. Why should not the Court of Chancery appcint official trustees to wind-up estates of testators and LAC :Wes, precisely as official liquidators wind-up joint-stock co.:9uanies. We know of no greater improvement in the pract;C, of the law than this would be.—Law Times. AN ODD Tlt C IC.—A German paper'' tells an odd lane. story of a trick played the o the r d a y o n a la""v" r an an agricultural district of Silesia. This gentleman, a err Schrei, had a quarrel with a neighbour, which led to a long correspondence, and in one of his letters he greatly provoked his antagonist by speaking ironically of the " Attic salt" with which lie flavoured his epistolary style. A few days after there appeared in the local paper the following advcrt:sement ;—" Attic salt and other salts for cattle may always be obtained at my farm.—Schrei." This advertisement immediately attracted the attention of a zealous official who was employed in the district to administer the salt monopoly of the Government, and he directed one of his subordinates to go at once to Herr Schrei's farm and search the premises for the salt I question. The subordinate, after going all over the f,,rm, and looking in every corner for the smuggled com modity, reported as follows :—" Having learnt from the local paper that a foreign salt under the name of 'Attie salt' had been imported into the district, I searched the house and farm of the farmer Schrei, who had been sus pected of the fraud; but no trace of Attic salt was to be found about them." SPIRT OF . TUE PUBLIC JOURNALS, ---~-- The Times is gratified at the unqualified success attena ing the Royal visit to the City. Her Majesty was able, not only to perform the indispensable part assigned her in the ceremony—that of formally opening in person the new Bridge and Viaduct—but also to drive eight miles through the principal portions of London, in full view of hundreds of thousands of her people who had crowded the streets and houses in the hope of seeing her. She seemed, as far as one may judge from her appearance and manner, in ex cellent health and spirits, and showed amply that she had lost nothing of that winning yet dignified urbanity which so often charmed her pe3ple in her happier days, and which is by no means the least important or valuable of queenly qualities. Her reception was most cordial and enthusiastic. The people showed themselves as anxious to welcome her as ever, and their behaviour was admirable. The silly prediction of a Fenian outrage did not find an echo even in a street row, such as might happen, despite all precautions, whenever so large a multitude is brought together. • Her Majesty's good-natured endurance in choos ing an open carriage for a long drive on a bitterly cold day, in order that she might not disappoint any of the thou sands assembled to have a " good look" at her, was the sub ject of general admiration and frequent remark. It may be unphilosophical for the sovereign people to be delighted by the sight of a quietly-dressed lady in a carriage, but still, as a matter of fact, they were delighted, and went home much better disposed towards the governing power in the State, and less inclined to quarrel with it, simply because they have seen its royal repre sentative. We can only hope that her Majesty, having found this last experiment of an appearance among her people as successful and as easy as it ever was, may be induced to repeat it. After all, it only necessitated her absence from Windsor for something under three hours. A. famous beauty once pleaded as an excuse for encourag ing so many admirers that while it seemed to give them great pleasure, it did her no harm. Her Majesty has a still better reason for encouraging the simple-hearted loyalty of her subjects when the encouragement takes a form so harmless, for, whatever effort it may at first cost her to nerve herself for the trying ordeal of a public appearance, when the effort has been made, and been crowned, as it is always sure to be, with enthusiastic success, the pleasure she has given her people, great as it undoubtedly is, will be, we are sure, not greater than her own. The Post observes that the purpose of Saturday's royal visit to the City was one which, while not neeessarily calling for a State ceremony, was on that very account all the more fitted to manifest the affectionate interest which her Majesty has always taken in whatever affects the material welfare of her subjects. A bridge and a viaduct might have been opened in the most prosaic and commonplace manner, without its being made the opportunity for the least remark ; and tho presence of the Queen must be accepted as a proof of her desire to associate the name of Victoria rather with the great works that bring increased material comfort to the people, than with any mere empty display. In this we may perhaps trace the influence of the memory of the Prince Consort ; at all events, there is not an effort of our progress during the last thirty years but can be read in the record of State ceremonials, and assuredly there has been none of late years in this metropolis which can vie with those which have now been opcned by her Majesty with gracious consideration and befitting splendour. The Standard declares that never in modern times has the Church made such a confession of weakness or ex hibited such a display of impotence as in this case of the nomination of Dr. Temple. If the clergy arid laity wore polled to-morrow, it would be found that there was not one man in a thousand who did not condemn the appoint ment, It is not a question of party feeling. High Church and Low Church are equally revolted at the scandal of nominating the most distinguished of the Essayists to a bishopric. Yet with all this they cannot unite in resisting it. They hate each other so much that they cannot join hands in combating a common enemy. Both are horrified at the idea of making Dr. Temple a bishop, but there is something more horrible still, and that is that they should be found acting toge ther in striving to avert the scandal. The Dean of Ripon thinks Dr. Puscy worse than a couple of Dr. Temples, and the severe orthodoxy of petrified churchmanship shrinks from allying itself with Daniel Wilson of Islington. The usual nobodies interfere and make the opposition con temptible, and the result is the signal collapse which the organ of Dr. Colenso contemplates with such intense gratification. Having taken a strong and decided line in regard to this appointment, and being well assured that in doing so we were reflecting the opinions of the great bulk of Churchmen, we must profess ourselves entirely disappointed with the spirit in which the movement has been taken up, and not a little disgusted at the coldness and narrow-mindedness which have mainly contributed to render it abortive. Within the last few weeks we have Aritv....sea 0. spectacle of disunion which bodes ill for the Church and is full of the happiest augury for her enemies. The moral of it is that if Churchmen hate infidelity, they hate each other a good deal more, The Daily News remarks that Vice-Chancellor Mathis has decided that the expenses of the Overend and Gurney prosecution shall not, as Dr. Thom had prayed, be paid out of the estate in liquidation. Few persons, we suspect, will doubt the propriety of the decision. It would have been too bad if the unfortunate shareholders had been saddled with the costs of proceedings which were taken without their consent, and, as many of them think, con trary to their interests. Mr. Lewis, jun., who appeared for Dr. Thom, remarked on this point that "this (i.e., the property of the prosecution) was not a question for the shareholders, but ono in the interests of justice," and it is impossible not to agree with him. But the interests of justice are the interests of the entire community, and if they have been invaded it should be the business of some one authorised to act in the name of the community, and supported with its power and resources, to defend them. As a weekly contemporary remarks, "those who have suffered already by a crime aro the last persons who should be victimised to punish it; but our whole criminal law generally throws the duty of prosecuting on such suf " ferers, and the imperfect prosecution of crime is the con sequence." We may add, though without the faintest reference to this case, that so long as we leave the suffering parties to put the criminal law in operation, we shall certainly hear from time to time of prosecutors using the weapons of the criminal law to promote their own interest, and dropping them when that has been served ; and not only so, but we shall have deprived ourselves to a great extent of the right to complain of them. Lord Stanley, says the Telegraph, is now retiring from the House of Commons, because as Earl of Derby he must take his place amongst the Peers. He has addressed a few words of gratitude and goodwill to the electors of King's Lynn whom he has represented in Parliament for well nigh twenty-one years. Now , the se few lines of Lord Stanley have the ring of truth about them; you feel that it really grieves him to part with his friends at King's Lynn. He looks back more to the past than he looks forward to the future. He signs his letter of farewell, " Manley;" he does not grasp hastily at his new honours. It would be difficult to do a thing in better taste. It is intelligible enough that the Earl of Derby should look back with regret to Lord Stanley's career. The pulse of the nation beats in the House of Commons. He who rules the House of Com mons rules the country. He could not be the first man in that assembly did he not in his own proper person repre sent the opinions and feelings, the aspirations, and, to a certain extent, the prejudices of his time. Depend upon it, any member who has gained what is called, in Parlia mentary language: "the ear of the House," is no common man. Now, such a position Lord Stanley had gained, and such is the position which he is giving up when he takes his seat in the House of Peers. If a per son has within him consciousness of great power— if his consciousness has been justified by expe rience, so that in middle life he finds himself one of the foremost men in the House of Commons—he can scarcely look upon a change to the Upper House as a gain. Lord Stanley—we scarcely like parting with his old name— has simply resigned the chance of the leading-staffs, and must make the best he can out of his new position. Which place would any man take for choice—that of Lord Stanley or that of the Earl of Derby? The Earl of Derby, if we mistake not, is not very clear about it. At the same time he is no party man, andin the serenity of the Upper House he will now be free from the party trammels with which he has hitherto been fettered. Even in the House of Peers, therefore, a high vocation lies before Lord Derby. The Herald observes that the first thing the Liberals promised to do on comi ng i n t o o ffice was to pacify, t• satisfy Ireland, and that was to be the work of a very few months. Well, the Church has been overthrown. Has its overthrow satisfied or pacified Ireland? Are the Fenians starved out because the sources from which they drew their strength have dried up? Are the people a whit more disposed to observe the law ? Is the language of the agita tors who do not call themselves Fenians a jot more mode rate or less seditious ? Nothing of the kind. As the demands of the tenants have grown so have those of the - , tests, and the practical result of Mr. Gladstone's Irish , oliey has been O the discouragement of all loyal • ueen by the dissemination of a conviction subjects or ‘-4, England abandons them , with a cones amongst them tit,. eonfi fence and strength of those ponding increase in the s o / [nation from England, who want total and inimedia,,, •-• desire a continuance 7iuch and of those who, whilst pr ofessing and a fearful of the connection, really a im at separation, . for the s diminution ent ; o f b s u e t c u i mayt fo b r e life d a a i t ,r o c n e rtiadS Bill of . o Government will act with a magical effect, and assuage all these troubled waters. That is absolutely impossible. On the contrary, there is no Land Bill the Government can introduce which will not add to the agitation and irritation n ow prevoiling in Ireland. We aro told that the Government has already agreed upon the outlines of a bill. Well, the speeches of Lords Hartington and Clarendon are guarantees, if the speakers are honest men, that the bill shall not be a bill of confiscation; and nothing but a bill of confiscation will satisfy the expectations excited by the reckless, the incendiary language in which Mr. Gladstone and some of his leading colleagues indulged last autumn. Ireland is not pacified, much less satisfied, and she is not likely to be so until we have a total change of policy and of men. .

THE LElCill IiUNI MEMORIAL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—Mr. TownsheudMayer having, in a letterfo you publicly censured my a ctio n i n conne ction wi t !! the Leigh Hunt Memorial Fund as " very u nwise, I think you will allow me t o ma k e some stateme nt in reply, in which, of course, I speak only for 0 1: self. A great deal of con f us i on ex i s t s as to v original estimate of the cost of toe memorial. Mayer, in a letter to the Daily News, p u blished. August, 1868, mentioned £l2O. Y our o wn leadi n o article of Tuesday, Nov. 2, speaks of the same sub ,„: A con espondent of the Pall Mall Gazette of Sat% day also says £l2O ; an d M r . W a l ter Hunt, Lelg Hunt's grandson, says in a letter to me, dated Oet 28, 1869, that Mr. Durham originally undertook I t' execute the monument for about £lOO, that a lit t „ t o later Mr. Hall announced that the total anict„ required would be "some £120," that this WI what was understood at the committee meeting e o , October 26, 1868 ; but that, on Mr. Durham ask i t' e for some personal remuneration for his labour, th committee subsequently voted him £l5O, w ar , would leave him a margin of £3O or £35. w' t , Walter Hunt was present at this committee o f ing, as I myself was ; and my o w n memory of t course of events is the same as his, only 10 0 e r a ; phatically expressed, for whereas he says L' to " there can be no sort of question" as to the I `7„,r above stated, I admit the possibility of our he'"f both mistaken in the exact order of proceeding though it is strange that, without any concert, 1/.5 should both think the same. M r . Durham, in, b o l 6 letter to you, dated November 4, s p e aks of e. (one hundred guineas) as the original cost Pil o On the other hand, it must be admitted that ' prospectus, dated September 2, 1868 (to which 0,3: name, as hon. sec., is attached as a matter of WI together with Mr. Hall's and Mr. Mayer's, th° ll , l l, o I had nothing to do with the composition nil b e document), says the estimated cost would r 0 " about £150." Be that as it may, r . have been paid by the committee to Mr. v it ham for carrying out the original design., is , was found necessary, however —or, at least, ad t , able—to extend the original design; and at the west, ing of July 27, 1869 (at which I was not pres eo , being out of town), Mr. Durham, as I am infor n ; stated what he bad done in the way of making ks , memorial more complete ; and these extra w° r , is , involving, of course, extra expenses, were not °the approved by the committee. At a meeting ci n o f 26th of last October Mr. Durham made a clai.in re . £4l for the extras, and offered Mr. Mayer his r, ceipts for the money expended on them, which COr Mayer refused to take. It w a s a ll owe d by the - t he mittee that although there h a d b een an error on oa part of Mr. Durham in not specifically stating „i, the 27th of July that the extra works had ne ce : 3 l tated extra expenses, and i n no t o bt a i n i n g a for vote of authorisation, he h a d never theless t he claim for the money ; and it was agreed that k e members of the general committee should be ° b at to assist in supplying the sum required, t o, that the matter should not be made P 11 0 , 3 c1 Mr. Mayer refused to make the appeal. ; the accordingly I, seeing the difficulty in w hle- atee fund was placed, and believing, as the coliv n " bo cl believed, that Mr. Durham (whether or not h e w ) been allowed a profit of £3O on the orignal c1.e 5 . 0 1 7, 0 1 would be actually out of pocket if his add le re ed expenditure of £4l was not returned him, a.t. to send out a circular, the money in hand ho a rder adequate to the demand. For so doing, Air• think now publicly blames me. But what will you t he when I tell you that, after the committee °f ill 26th of last month broke up, Mr. Mayer ac t ss iv. assisted me in the composition of the circula r a 0 ing for more money ; that that circular is 0 4 . 8 Ti ere extent his own writing; that seven copies of iv rein , made at his office, in his presence, by a n ear were five, and signed by me ; that these letters th at furnished with postage s t amps by him; and ibers l he pointed out to me, in a li s t of the sul?se r be hoft the names of those gentlemen who, in his App u g h? to would be most likely to give more, if the 8 1 4 " the general committee failed to bring e ne no e sed When I left that evening, 1 naturally snPr p eal that Mr. Mayer's objection was not to the g a iter per se, but to making it himself, What having announced that the fund was closed. ; t wo will you think, furthermore, whe n I say 0 ' 3 ;001 days later, Mr. Mayer, unknown to me, se n , i t p ;ioll o " to certain newspapers a p aragra ph, "e ° o ol to expose our difficulties and disagre e ear ear to prejudice Mr. Durha m , an d t o thwart e a ,; s lo barrass me in any attempt to carry out th e 11 0 0 of the committee—an att em pt w ith which, as hint' just shown, he had in a measure cor,oeote,-bieh self?
