LOJVDON, SATURDAY, JAN. 30, 1869. -- - The Chancellor of the Exchequer is coming out in a new character, and speaks to the country, through his provincial audience, in a more genial strain than is hia wont, and with niOre enthusiasm than might have been expected from so. stern a critic as the right hon. gentleman has often proved himself to be. This is encouraging, at any rate, and justifies the ex pec`ation that all is not so bad as has been pretended in the mysterious regions of the Exchequer. Curio sity is awakened and ir.terest excited by the dis course of the hero of the Gloucester Banquet, be cause it is his first appearance in public in the capa city of a Minister. Same men of mark have not proved successful administrators, and in passing through the ordeal of official life have wrecked the reputation they had previously acquired in other spheres of distinction. So far as we can judge, such is not likely to be the fate of Mr. LOWE, and politi cians of all shades of opinions may rejoice at the prospect of having the dry details and uninteresting catalogue of figures put before them by a master of oratory. At first sight, a brilliant debater seems rather lost in the Chancellorship of the Exchequer, but both Mr. GLADSTONE and Mr. DISRAELI have contrived to adorn the rugged road, and doubt less their successor will emulate their example. In some respects the task before the right hon. gentleman the other evening was not so easy as might be supposed by the uninitiated. It is a wise saying which admonishes that the moment of success is the moment to leave off, for too many people spoil the effect of their triumph by unduly expatiating ott the theme. As the first public exponent of the principles of the new Government, Mr. Lowe has not had a very light burden entailed on him, and therefore the satisfactory style its which he has acquitted himself of his responsible duty is the more to be appreciate& got that his discourse may not be subjected to criti cism with a fair chance of discovering weak points of argument, and a shade too much perhaps of self sufficiency, but it is under the circumstances not un rorthy of the speaker or the occasion. The avowed object of the entertainment at which he was the honoured guest was to celebrate the triumph of Liberal principles iu the county of Gloucester, and in hs skilful bands the subject was made the most of. It was not an unmixed satisfaction, however, after all, because Gloucester has been the exception and not the rule to the majority of English counties, they having declared iu a remarkable manner for the Conservatives. Mr. LOWE excited the interest of his audience by informing them of the absorbing character of the occupations of the other members of the Government. It turn d out that they were all too busy to attend this celebra tion of the achievements of their party, and had fixed upon him as the one with most leisure on his hands. This was strange, because, as their delegate himself observed, he was not generally considered to " have the easiest berth among them." Be the cause of his solitary appearance what it may, when put on his trial, Mr. LOWE had to unfold the future policy of himself and his party. They would have been repre sented as full of good intentions had he not remem bered in time that people " seldom get credit for good intentions except when they have done something very wrong or very foolish ; and if he had not had some very vague recollection of the destiny which awaits good intentions in the future." Neither could he say much about the actions of the Government, because glorious though they no doubt would be, they yet remained to be performed. We need not follow the right hon. gentleman through those elaborate passages of his discourse, in which he dwelt on the purpose that would animate his colleagues in their adaptation of the old " worn-out" cry of justice to Ireland to a new and better meaning. When the scheme of the Govern ment is before Parliament it can be better appre ciated than in preliminary sketches and isolated de tails. Mr. LowE declares that the preservation of peace is the earnest desire of the new Administration, and that the best efforts of the Cabinet have been directed to the accomplishment of this important purpose. Like many other remodellers of ancient usages, however, he seems to be better versed in the knowledge of what others should not do, than he has intimate acquaintance with what he and his friends should do. Perhaps if the negative policy which Mr. Lowe lays down as the law to govern foreign policy were extended to home affairs, the re sult might sometimes be more satisfactory to the country and more creditable to the candidates for its favour. " The only way in which peace can be pre served is by not thinking ourselvescritics and censors of all the world, but leaving them to ju lge what is best for themselve;, ansLzonly e.equiring that we should be treated with that respect which we are willing to extend to them." A third subject which engages the anxious attention of the Government is that of economy, and the public will rejoice if Mr. LowE's emphatic declaration be verified in respect to the desire of the Ministry, not to mar the effi ciency of the services. The principle on which they are to act is that of concentration, but, as he him self observes, their laurels are all as yet to be won in this field, and it is to be hoped that they may wear them, because much be done of a remedial character, provided they are not too ready to overlook the means by which they reach their desired ends. It would have been more propitious for the new regime if the Government had waited for Mr. LOWE to foreshadow it to the public in his comprehensive style, instead of allowing its heralds and precursors to be the small savings and paltry interference which are insignificant in themselves, but not in the effect they produce and the irritation and bitterness of feel ing which they engender. The most entertaining part of Mr. Lowe's speech was its concluding portion, when he addressed him self to the department exchtsively his own, and in troduced his friends to a new phase in the life of a Chancellor of the Exchequer, that of being inundated by letters, which contain not the supposed requests for the repeal of old taxes, but suggestions .for the imposition of new ones. Despite his desire to be guided by public opinion, the new Chancellor of the Exchequer confesses to the heresy of despising it in this particular, because his beau-ideal of the happy occupant of his post is that of a man who does nat like to impose new taxes, but to take off old ones. Although he has not had an extended experience, it cannot be said that his conclusions are very erroneous ones in this respect, or that he will fail in finding followers to his creed. When Mr. LowE declares that in the present highly-developed state of taxation he should as little think •of taking credit for invent ing a new tax as for inventing a new torture, we imagine . the glorious fature before him, all the sublime heights to which his financial genius will soar; but be soon dispels the illusion by confessing that his wings are very closely clipped ind.eed, and his expressions must not lead any one from fact to . fiction. The Abyssinian war is likely to cover a multitude of sins in the way of shorteemings and non-performance of promises, but the country will 'not begrudge to pay the " small bill " to which he refers as the stumblingblock in the path of his bene ficient projects. Mr. LOWE concluded his eloquent speech by an indignant protest on behalf of Mr GLADSTONE. lie denounced the course pursued by . the " noble person" who declared that Mr. GLAD STONE was unscrupulous and insidious, and a man actuated by the meanest feelings of revenge, "as a person who said he would destroy every country gentleman he saw, and kept his word, which, I am happy to say, can hardly be literally true, and who, having been expelled the, University of Oxford, wishes to disestablished the'ltiiih Church out of sheer spite." Without entering into all the particulars of this charge, Mr. LOWE suggested to the " noble per son" that the next time he spoke on the subject he should inform his hearers where and to whom Mr. GLADSTONE sail that he would destroy the country gentlemen, or that he would avenge himself by the disestablishment of the Church of Ire land? Many of these who are opposed to the Chancellor of the Exchequer in politics, and in other matters also, will agree with him in his opinion of this attack, and approve of his spirited vindication of the characters of our public men. " They are not," as he said, " things to be lightly sported with ; the public has an interest in them; and if they do not respect them for their own sake, they ought to do so for the sake of their country." The Government have no cause to doubt the wisdom of their choice in selecting Mr. LOWE as their pioneer in the path of progress, for he has shown a bold front, and sought no adventitious aid by disguising the real difficulties of their position, but has frankly acknowledged them in the spirit that at once defies and disarms criticism. RECENT revelations seem to shew that the poor are the last thing which the guardians of the poor guard. In this they only too faithfully represent their constituents. The opposition bythe Holborn guardians to the establishment of pauper infirmaries has already been noticed as indicating the obstinacy with which the ratepayers : resist all attempt to relieve the horrible sufferings of the sick poor which have been revealed by recent investigations. A story is now going the round of the papers which shews what manner of men these ratepayers are. In the. Isle of Dogs, London, there has grown up a large district called Cubitt Town. During the inflation of all kinds of enterprise which preceded the great collapse there was a large demand for shipwrights on the banks of the Thames, and Cubitt Town owed its origin to that demand. Since Black • Friday it has almost entirely ceased, an d th e popu lation has been reduced to the direst distress. The workman who used to have a house to himself and family, is now compelled to huddle in one room. The res angusta donti is destined to become narrower still. - Ile has to sell off one article of furniture,. after anothg, and to feel grateful so long as he has any left; ; ,. When all is gone. there is the workhouse stone-yard and Bd. a day, 4s. a week, out of which ls. Gd. has to go for house-ren'— room-rent, rather. Through the circles •of this Inferno a man named SPENCE, his wife, and their infant have just passed. They had been connected with the iron-shipbuilding works which had closed in consequence of the crash at the "Corner House." They had betaken themselves to a miserable room, whence the furniture had departed piece by piece until there was nothing left but a small box on a broken chair to serve for table ; two : broken trays ( n ot wanted . ,for food,' for 'food there was .none).

M. etZ, SPA i l gjg t THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 30, 1869 fastened against the paneleis windows, a piece of salt, a tract entitled " The Goodness of God," and a bundle of rags, whereon lay two corpses. Some kind missionary had giver. the tract, no doubt, with a " Be ye warmed and be ye filled." A hundred weight of coals would have given more warmth ; and as for filling, there was nothing but the piece of salt aforesaid, and a portion of this was the last food that had entered the mouth of one of the two corpses before famine had completed its work. The husband had applied for relief, and received a pound of meat, two ounces of tea, and a pound of sugar, and an order to the sfoni- yard. Ire did not go there, for by the wisdom of the guardians it is ordained that a man shall .never receive more than Bd. a day, even though he may earn twice that amount. But, it will be said, better half a loaf than no bread. Undoubtedly a sane man will think so. But SPENCE was insane ; his misery had driven him mad, raging mad. He was taken to the asylum, but it was full, for between one circle and another in this East-end Inferno, between poverty and 'insanity there is but a step, and asylums are apt to be full in such localities. So they took him to the workhouse, where he had to be " looked after," and what that means in the case of a pauper maniac we shudder to think. Meanwhile how is it going on at "home "? The wife has long ago sold all her clothes for food; she has nothing wherewith to buy ; she cannot go out to beg. First of all the baby dies, the feeble spark of life goes out for want of oil. Then the mother, vainly endeavouring to assuage the horrible pangs of hunger by eating salt, gives up the weary struggle, and finds that she must seek in another world for "the goodness of GoD," whereof the missionary's tract spoke so pleasantly. There had been no inquest on the child, for babies are born to die in the Isle of Dogs and parts adjacent. But when a dead woman is found Maine n an empty. room upon a bundle of rags th'ejic.e, need of inquiry. The surgeon makes a post-moFtem examination, and finds a stomach perfectly empty. No need to hide the cause of death under learned talk about extravasation and syncope. Nay, rather there is great need. One juror began to denounce the stone-yard system, and said that men had told him they could not keep their families on Bd. a day; had said, " I will not go there ; it is no use. The parish must bury me." Up rose another juror, " a large employer of labour in the island," and protested against a verdict of death from starvation. It would get into the papers and cause the island to be talked about. Clearly SPENCE had, in this juror's idea, gone mad out of spite to the guardians, and his wife had died only that she might make the parish bury her. lle would be one with them, however. " What use," he said, "were people when they are dead ? Why not bury them in an egg-box, or, better still, without any coffin at all ?" Really, view ing the matter from this large employer of labour's standpoint, we do not see our way to an answer. Here is " only a pauper whom nobody owns," whom even the good GOD seems to have disowned. Of what use are such to large employers of labour ? Why should large employers of labour have to pay for burying them ? There is the Thames or the dust-heap for the dead body of pauper LAZARUS in this world, and for large-employer-of-labour DIVES there is in the next the parched tongue and the great gulf. Mr. DAVID WARD CHAPMAN has contributed a fresh chapter to the history of " Overend, Gurney, and Co." The substance of his letter appears in another column. If it serves to exculpate him so far as his transactions are concerned, it certainly does not improve the position of his former colleagues. Mr. CHAPMAN states that the connection between Mr. EDWARDS and the old firm began by Mr. EDMUND GURNEY'S asking the advice of Mr. EDWARDS with reference to some bankrupt estate in which the firm were inte rested. Remembering that Mr. EDWARDS was the official assignee of the court through which this estate had to pass, we need not dwell on the extreme impropriety of retorting to him for counsel. The counsel was not only asked, but given, and was found to be so valuable, or, to use Mr. CHAPMAN'S words, Mr. EDMUND GURNEY was "so pleased with the sagacity which he thought was shewn by EDWARDS " that " he consulted him during the whole year upon many of what I may call the illegiti mate advances which the firm had then made." The " illegitimate advances" gave rise to illegitimate consultations, which became more and more frequent. At length Mr. EDWARDS was found so necessary to the firm that, as Mr. EDMUND GURNEY said in paying him £5,000, " Friend EDWARDS, I do not see how we are to get on without thee." So this public official in the receipt of a handsome salary was put in charge of the firm's accounts. Ile does not seem to have examined them very strictly, for it was left to Mr. JOHN HENRY GURNEY, of Norwich, to find out that " the house was in a mess," and to inform this confidential adviser and accountant thereof. Mr. CHAPMAN would have us believe that Mr. EDWARDS was so pleased with this state of thing. that he tried to force himself upon P o t u e r Y ed of th e prospec t th a t h e the firm as a partner; that is, finding a business on and making' enormous t l o h s e s e s b i h n e k a o s f b o a e n n k a r wished to take a share of the impending ruin. What was to be done ? Mr. CHAPMAN and his partners could not afford to part with any portion of the i r splendid property. They had no alternative but to place £ O O,OOO to Mr. EDWARDS'S credit as hush money, in order to prevent him from forcing them to put up their shutters by revealing the secrets with e h r i s i i n o s n e f acquaint e d. T a ki n g of the story a s co rrec t, A NNih r i . c o h n l r ie rm h A a Ngs d o n l a v a i c l le v he was in no way responsible for the " wild " advances to the Millwall Company, Mr. LEVER, and STEPANOS XENOS. Still ,he thought that the firm could pull through the enormous losses in which it had involved itself. He was, however, not sufficiently sang uine, or was too cautious, to put his name t the prospectus which announced the formation of the limited liability company. It is thus he has escaped the unpleasant position in which his colleagues now find themselves. They, according to Mr. CHAPMAN'S letter, sold for millions a business which was so thoroughly rotten that if they had not paid their confidential adviser £20,000 hush-money, he would have " forced them to put up their shutters within twenty-four hours." Bad as was the case for the defendants in the recent investigation,. it is fortunate for them that their quondam colleague had changed his residence from London to Tours. But for that change they would have fared even worse. MIDDLESEX SESSION.—(This Day.) Kate Franks, alias K a t e H a milton, appealed against a conviction of A. A. K nox, Esq., magistrate, sitting at Marlborough- s t ree t P o li ce Cour t, for an offence under the Refreshment Houses and Wino Licences Act, on her pre liaises No. 4, Jermyn-street, Haymarket. Mr. Meadows White (instructed by the Commissioners of Police to appear in support of the conviction) said this was the third conviction of the applicant, who was the keeper of one of the notorious houses in the neighbourhood of the Haymarket. Mr. Inspector Pay said he visited the house kept by the appellant on the 28th of November last, at half-past 12 o'clock. He found six men and seven females, whom he knew to be prostitutes. He found some sitting in the bar and others in front. The shutters were all up, and there was a little pane in one of them, a sort of bull's-eye, six inches by three inches. This house, usually opens at 20 minutes to 12 at night and keeps open until 1 o'clock. He was outside the house about nine minutes altogether. He saw no one kayo the house. He visited it again at 55 minutes past 12. He found nine men and eleven women, n'ne of whom he know to ba prostitutes. Two of the women he did not know. The Assistant Judge said the police had done their duty in this case very negligently, for they ought to have watched and seen if prostitutes had gone in and out with men, and that had would have given us grounds to confirm the conviction. The conviction must, therefore, be quashed. CAVENDISH WIJJST MARKERS. A chainaing pocket-companion for the whist-player bas just been cnntrived by Me authority on that. kind of games, "Cavendish." It is so simple in itself that one wonders it was never thought of bafure. It is a set of sliding card counters, grooved in a thickish double-card, beautifully enamelled, and is altogether exquisitely got up by Delarue and Co., the manufaCturers. The same house also issues from the press a dainty little Guide-book to the game of Bezique, by Cavendish. Both this Pookia:Guide and the Whist-Markers should ba in the hands of every card klayer. • THE .PROTOCOL OF THE PAJZIS CONFERENCII The Levant Herald publishes the full text of the protocol agreed to at the Paris Conference. The following is the more important part. "After careful con sideration of the documents exchanged between the two Governments, the plenipotentiaries have agreed to regret that, yielding to impulses by which its patriotism has misled it, Greece has given ground for the complaints preferred by the Porte in its ultimatum addressed on December 11,1868, to the Minister for Foreign Affairs of his Majesty the King of the liellenes. It is, in fact, beyond doubt that the principles of the law of nations require of Greece, as of all 'other nations, not , to permit the recruitment of bands on its territory, - nor that ships should be armed in its ports, for the purpose of attacking a neighbouring State. Persuaded, besides, that the Cabinet of Athens cannot misunderstand the thought which inspires this appreciation on the part of the Pro tecting Powers of Greece, as on that of the other Powers who signed the Treaty of 185‘3, the Conference declares that it is incumbent on the Hellenic Government to observe for the future in its relations with Turkay the rules of conduct which are common to all Governments, and thus to comply with the demands preferred by the Porte as regards the past by at the same time reassuring it for the future. Greece should therefore for the future abstain from favouring or tolerating the formation within its territory of all bands meant to act against Turkey, and should take the necessary measures to prevent the armament in its ports of vessels intended to aid, in whatever manner, any attempt at insurrection within the possessions of his Majesty the Sultan. As regards the private damage incurred by Ottoman subjects, the Cabinet of Athens in no way contests the right of Turkey to recover judicially whatever compensation may be due ; and Turkey, on its side, having accepted the jurisdiction of the Hellenic tribunals, the plenipotentiaries do not consider themselves called on to investigate crimes nor to discuss complaints preferred on this point. As to the demand of the Sublime Porte which concerns the return home of the Turkish subjects who have taken refuge on Greek territory, the Conference takes note of the declara tions made by the Cabinet of Athens in its note of Decem ber 9, and is convinced that it will, so far as depends upon it, facilitate the departure of such of the Cretan families as may wish to return to their country." THE MASSACRE IN NEW ZEALAND. ATTACK UPON THE WTEREROA REDOUBT. The Wereroa redoubt, which has been held for the last fortnight by about forty of the Ist class militia, was attacked under the following circumstances :—On Thursday evening, Captain Wihnot Powell had his men, or rather boys, out at drill in front of the redoubt, when a volley was fired at them by the Hau-hans from the opposith side of a gully, but without doing any mischief, They immediately retired into the redoubt, pulled up the drawbridge, and stood every man to his post. The Hau-haus crossed the gully, and ascended the slope leading to the redoubt, firing and cheering each other on the attack. Our boys returned the fire, and in a spirited manner kept it up from half-past four till half past nine at night. Two Hau-haus were shot dead, and dragged into the bush by their comrades. The number of killed and wounded could not be ascertained, but yesterday morning pools of blood were discovered in several places where the Hau-haus fought. There were no casualties on our side, but many narrow escapes. The firing was kept up with much spirit upon both sides during those five hours.— Wanganui Times. LATEST INTELLIbENCE FROM POVERTY BAY. A schooner which arrived at Auckland from the east coast on the Ist December, reported that Captain West rupp's party had previously been out and bad buried the dead. Thirty bodies of Europeans were discovered, many them dreadfully mutilated. Those of Major and Mrs. Biggs were almost devoured by birds and animals. Mrs. Wilson and her little son were staying at the house of Archdeacon Williams, at Turanganui, and would Probably leave for Napier on the 24th ult. The most sanguine hopes were entertained of Mrs. Wilson's re covery. It would appear from Mrs. Wilson's account that the little boy concealed himself when the natives attacked the house, and that when they had departed, leaving his mother for dead, he crept out, and found her just beginning to recover her senses. Mrs. Wilson managed to crawl to one of the outhouses, and the child found a kettle, by means of which they cooked a few eggs, and supported life until they were able to reach the re doubt. Up to the evening of the 20th ult. £272 had been collected by the ladies of Napier for the sufferers by the late calamity. • noRRIBLE FATE OF A SCOUTING PATTY. The fate of the missing scouting party is thus recorded in the Hawke's Bay journals :—" A careful search was rewarded by the discovery of the bodies of the scouting parties, all fearfully and brutally misused. Poor Karai tiana had been tomahawked, and his heart and liver torn out and probably eaten ; he was split open as a butcher opens a sheep. All the bodies were stripped, save Ahita's. Karaitiana's death had been carefully plotted and systematically brought about. He met at first (so says the native story) with friendly welcome and entertainment, and was attacked by Rehana, in the whare when they were sleeping. All four were killed with the tomahawk, their heads presenting a horrible appear. ance. In hunting about in the plantations they captured an old couple ; the woman being the mother of Te Waru's wife, and the man a miserable old cripple, whose wretched existence might have been fairly allowed to expend itself in peace. Not so, however. His dog's luck brought him a dog's end, the Europeans very properly protesting against so unnecessary a crime, but unavailingly. Our allies dragged the old fellow and shot him to appease the manes of their friends. Poor sacrifice and pitiable war ! The woman's name is Maora Hinekino.", A singular coincidence of events has recently oc curred at Ely, where a Mr. Thomas Ellis, finding his last hour was approaching, sent a message to that effect to his friend Mr. John Rester, who was also in declining health, and the reply was—" Tell my old friend I shall not be long after h7m." Within one hour both were dead. They were born on the same day and hour, and died on the same day and hour, aged 75. A Chester tradesman, named Meacock, an ex-town councillor, has been arrested in that city on a charge of forging conveyances of property, upon which he subse quently obtained a mortgage of £2,200. The lady who owns the property appeared yesterday before the magistrates, and declared that her signature to the conveyance was a forgery. The prisoner was remanded, and was sent to prison in de fault of obtaining the bail which was required. it is announced that the Lord Primate of Ireland has fixed the 3d of February for a conference of the Irish bishops at Armagh. On the same day an aggregate meeting of defence societies is to be held in the Dub lin Rotund°, under the presidency of Lord Bandon. The Daily Express mentions a rumour which is in circulation in Dublin, that the Government "have made overtures to the Archbishop of Meath (Stopford) to assist them in the preparation of a ball for the disestablishment and disendow went of the Church in Ireland." At the close of the business the Manchester City Police Court on Thursday, Mr. Fowler, the stipendiary magistrate, paid a high compliment to the late Mr. Ernest Jones. Ho spoke of him as being a remarkable man, " whose name will always bo associated in this country with the half century in which he lived, and who, what , ver his faults, possessed the great virtues of undoubted integrity and honour, and of being thoroughly consistent, never hitching from that course which he believed to be right, though at times at the cost of fortune and free lom." Mn. SPURGEON'S SERMONS. —Probably no ser mons ever bad such 'tde circulation as those of Mr. Spurgeon. We are frequently hearing of them in corre spondence from all parts of the globe where any religious literature is found. A lady at Nismes testifies that they are distributed and read amongst the nominal Protestant towns and villages in Provence and Languedoc ; indeed, from Iceland to the equator, and all round the world, they are to be found.—Freemun. THE INDIAN WAR.— General Sheridan reports that 400 lodges of Comanche Indians had offered to sur render, but he had refused to treat with them except at Fort Cobb, where he would have them within range. A telegram from Fort Hays, Kansas, Jan. 10, says:— " Major-General W. A. Nichols, Assistant Adjutant-Gene ral, ajor Sheridan, commanding at Fort Dodge, reports that Lieutenant Martin, of the 3rd Infantry, has just arrived from the camp, and states that Colonel Evans has captured a Comanche village of sixty lodges. Three men of the 3rd Cavalry were wounded. No Indians were killed. Colonel ]vans had returned to his depot camp on the Canadian River." A communication from the Secretary of War to the Senate reports that 25,601 regular troops and 1,213 volunteers are employed in the Indian hostilities. The Indian Commissioner wants an appropriation of $5,000 to pay for medals of Grant, to be presented to the head men of the tribes where they deserve some mark of confidence. The Cherokee, Creelr. and Choctaw Indian delegates to Washington have united in a representation against the transfer of the Indian Bureau to the War Department, and also in a request that the recent affair between General Custer and Black Kettle's band shall be investigated. —Anal° Aytericaiti Timm. ' • SPIRIT OF THE FUBLIO JOIntNaS. The Saturday Review. does not spare its criticisms on Earl Russell's last achievement with the pen. He has, he says, his place in politics, but it is like that of a buoy telling of the perilous rocks and currents. Where Earl Russell is, there is danger. He is all for Mr. Gladstone, and all for his own favourite scheme ; all for him self and all for everybody ,else ; he is for disesta blishment, and even for disendowment, but for a disendowment which looks very like disendowment first and re-endowment afterwards. There is to be secularisation, because it is a constitutional principle for the State to strip the old Church whenever the State pleases ; and hero the great principle by which Woburn Abbey is a Bedford estate is maintained. But then the State, like Dorcas, is to make up new coats and garments, not so large and cumbrous as the old ones, but warranted to fit well and suit the prevailing fashion ; and the Epis copalian Protestants, after all, are not to be turned out to perish in the cold. Earl Russell may well say that he cannot congratulate himself on being " precise as to dis endowment ;" and when he complains that " there seems to have been some confusion in the Resolutions of the House of Commons on this subject," we are tempted to add that the fog and haze must have spread into the Upper House, and the confusion must have confused Earl Russell himelf. Qttafis ab incepto. Earl Russell is Earl Russell still. He thinks that he is the most practical of statesmen, while he is what the French call a mere irlolori tie. He affects to be original ; which he may be, only that Earl Grey, Mr. Bence Jones, Mr. Trench, and everybody else, has been before him. He reads them all, admires them all, admits what everybody says, and then considers himself to be very impartial because he sees that everybody is right, and that the very opposite arguments to theirs are all right too. But then it is a question about Ireland ; and Earl Russell knows that to solve an Irish difficulty the best way is to make con fusion worse confounded than ever. This Earl Russell has done, and not for the first time ; but his latest triumph in this curious art of statesmanship is assuredly his greatest, The John Bull makes some remarks upon the notable letter of Lord Russell, and calls attention to the inconsist ency displayed by the noble earl in his recent suggestions. " A great calm always precedes a storm. It is simply because of the lull in the political world before a campaign which bids fair to be one of no ordinary severity that Earl Russell's third letter to Mr. Chichester Fortescue has at tracted so much attention. The veteran Whigleader cannot keep his pen from paper. Three times already has he pro pounded different views on the Irish Church, and it really seems a waste of time to discuss at length propositions which before Easter will in all probability be withdrawn. Many people trouble themselves most unnecessarily in speculating on the reasons why the noble earl thus takes the public into his confidence under the thin disguise of a letter to the Irish Secretary. Probably these numerous and very ephemeral manifestoes are simply caused by an incurable cacoethes scribendi, and by a desire, though not in the Cabinet, to seem to lead public opinion. When, therefore, Earl Russell finds that one of his pilot balloons is not wafted gaily along by the breath of popular applause, he forthwith sends up another. His latest bantling has received but rough usage from the Liberal press, and its only real use, in our opinion, is the further evidence it affords of the want of any prac tical scheme among the Liberals for disposing of the money which they propose to filch from the Irish Church. We hope that an early copy of the pamphlet was sent to the Governor-General of India. The Earl of Mayo can hardly fail to be gratified by its perusal. No words were strong enough with which to point a sarcasm at his levelling-up policy. But here we have the author of the Durham Letter, a Protestant of Protestants, a warm sup porter of the British and Foreign Society, proposing that £360,000 shall be divided equally between Protestant Episcopalians, Roman Catholics, and Presbyterians, " for purposes strictly defined by Parliament." What is this but endowing two other Churches, not in the open manner suggested by the Earl of Mayo, and retaining the princi ples of an establishment, hut in a peddling and imrracti cable manner ? The Saturday Review finds it difficult to believe that Mr. Edward Watkin Edwards, official assignee of the Bank ruptcy Court, can be a fact and not a myth, One would have thought that to realise and receive and be account. able for the assets and estates of the firms who find them selves compelled to breathe the air of Basingliall-street, and to keep the accounts of one in every three of the London bankrupts, would exhaust any one man's time and talents. But to Mr. Edwards the trifling burden of official duties was a mere perfunctory episode in his active life. When 0 verend , Gurney, and Co. had secured Edwards, they could defy fate and the Bank rate of interest ; they had got confidence, stability, certainty, the Destinies and Fates, all in one. Every man has his price in another sense than Walpole thought, and the price of such an interp,q3ition as Edwards was enormous. Indeed, being something more than man, his salary was superhuman. He was rewarded much as Crccsus rewarded Delphian Apollo for an opinion which turned out to be about as valuable as that for which Edwards was himself subsi dised. Mr. Edwards received £5,000 a year for consenting to act for Overend and Gurney in all matters in which those simple and guileless folk, unskilled in the naughty world of discount and finance, might ask for his advice and assistance. The value of these unknown and hypo thetical and only probable services can be reckoned by the known purchasing powers of £5,000 a year in the ordinary concerns of life. £5,000 a year purchases in the open English market a Bishop, a Judge, a Prime Minister, a Speaker of the House of Commons, a Secre tary of State. £5,000 a year hires these small functionaries, body and soul, mind and tongue, and pen for every day, and all day long. But 15,000 a year could only buy a fraction of Edwards, the mere hours of idleness of his mighty mind; what was left of Edwards after he had spent his day from ten to four in the Bank ruptcy Court was gladly snatched at and bought up at £5,000 a year. After six hours of official business came the cannie hour at e'en of Edwards, equal in value to a whole day's work of such poor creatures as Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Disraeli. But there was something left of Edwards marketable even after Basingliall-street and Lombard-street had taken their fill and fling out of hire, Mr. Stefanos Xenos thought the very snips and parings of Edwards, after serving her Majesty and the great dis count house, worth £5OO a year and a present of a steam yacht. Mr. Edwards also believes that, in addition to all these pickings, he ves auditor to the Galway Steam Packet Company ; lie owns that, while hired to drive close bargains with the customers of Gurney, he not only received an annual £5OO from Stefanos Xenos, one of their customers, but £2,000 from another, a Mr. Pearson ; also £3OO for acting as umpire between Lascaridi and Lever on the one part, and Gurneys on the other, from whom he was at the same moment taking the aforesaid £5,000 a year ; and he will not swear that he did not get something —it might be odd hundreds or thousands—from the Mill wall Iron Company under precisely similar circumstances. To finish up this portrait, it remains to remark that the gentleman in whom Overend and Gurney invested at such a frightful premium does not look like so very valuable a commodity. Since the evidence given by Majocchi, never was human memory so uncertain, treacherous, and leaky as Mr. Edwards's. Dates, facts, particulars, details, all slide and glide away from Mr. Edwards in the witness box. He has a very bad memory as to dates ;it entirely fails him on every point of business worth remember ing ; he really would be candid were it not for this sad infirmity of faculty. Whether he was debtor or creditor, whether he paid or received, what he disbursed. or the reverse ; whether it was a hundred thousand or so on this side or on the other ; whether he was acting for somebody or somebody else : when, if ever, he was him self, or whether he was always an alter ego, and, if so, an alter ego of whom ; whether he was Gurney against Xenos, or Xenos against Gurney ; whether he was an official assignee, or an Atlantic Steam Packet Company, or an Anglo-Luso, or a Millwall ironsmith, accountant, bill broker, money-lender, or yachtsman, whether he was acting for any body, or for two bodies, or only for himself —he really does not know. Nor do we. The Spectator comments upon the City trial, and is not surprised at the various manifestations of feeling that have taken place. We do not wonder, either at the deep pity felt by some men for the defendants in this trial, or at the roar of applause with which the news of their committal was received. It is hard, while human nature remains as it is, not to feel for men who, having risen so high, h ave fallen so low ; an d as h ar d no t enter into the satisfaction of the crowd on hearing that the law was strong enough to compel inquiry into the causes of the greatest commercial ruin wrought in our days, to demand proof that this ruin was not due to fraudulent design. That is the effect of the committal, and we cannot, we confess, see how just and shrewd magistrates could come, on th e ev id ence before them, to any o th er d ec i s i o n. Of course , any def in it e op i n i on as to the guilt or innocence of any of the accused would still be grossly premature. Further on, in alluding to the critical period of the transfer of the company, it declares that the clear duty of the partners in the firm at this moment was to have met. that crash, surrendered their great pro perties, and arranged matters with their creditors. Had they done this, men would ind ee d h ave wondered at the astounding folly of men so experienced in business throw ing away their money in such speculations ; but their names would have been unstained, and capital would have been forthcoming to enable them to regain a position. Instead of this, they—moved, perhaps, in some degree by Fenuine consideration for their own depositors, whom, be it remembered, they saved from loss—resolved to sell their business to a company, which should bring in a new capital of £5,000,000. They did so sell it, and it is here that the question of their intent begins. It is certain that if they had published to the world the precise facts of their posi tion they would never have got a penny. This they them selves probably do not question—certainly their counsel did not ; but they contend that their estates were so large, their credit or goodwill so valuable, and their legitimate business so immensely profitable, that it was still reason able to think that all, losses might be met and the new C9131138011Y ei I , *:-_ akt. ..tt; , nit , ~„ awn HER MAJESTY.

LATEST INTELL MENU. (REUTER'S TELEEIRAMS.) AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Jan. 30. The New Free Press of to-day says :--4 , A Rus sian courier, who had just passed through Vienne/ sit route for Athens, is the bearer of despatches for the Hellenic Government, urgently advising Greece not to disturb the union of the great Powers achieved at the Conference. The despatches also point out that the Turkish ultimatum is no longer valid, i❑ consequence of the resolution adopted by the Conference and the extinction of the Cretan insurrection." The same paper states that should the resolutions of the Conference not lead to satisfactory solution of the difficulty the Powers would leave Turkey and Greece to themselves. The Press publishes a telegram stating that the autograph letter of the Emperor Napoleon to Kip" George recommends a conciliatory policy as at the present moment the wisest course for Greece to adopt.
