SPIRIT - Orrin PUBLIC,' OUIII,IIILB, Th e Timex remarks that the first morning sitting of the session produced little beyond an outburst of wrath between Mr. Newdegate and Mr.Whalley. Sir George Jenkinson led the opposition with a protest against the application of any portion of the funds of the Irish Establishment in compensating Maynooth, and, declaring that he was not ashamed of his principles, besought the leaders of his party to express some opinion on the sub ject. We can easily understand that they are embar rassed in considering what course they should follow. The Government plan of compensating Maynooth is confessedly framed on principles entirely different from the scheme of compensating the incumbents of the Anglican Church, and the argument of the O'Conor Don, that it would be impossible to deal separately with the professors and students of the college, seems to be unsupported by facts. The ministerial argument in sup port of this proposal remains to be stated, except so far as Mr. Gladstone referred to it in introducing the bill ; but we apprehend the real justification of the arrangement is embodied in the elastic phrase, used by Mr. Gladstone on Monday, that public policy requires it should be sanc tioned. It is not desirable from any point of view that an educational institution should be allowed suddenly to tumble to pieces, and the Government scheme provides the trustees of Maynooth with funds to redeem their obliga tions to existing professors, and to pass through the difficult interval which must necessarily precede reorgani sation. The Standard declares that Mr. Gladstone wholly failed to answer the obvious objections to this exceptional treat ment in favour of Maynooth. He is personally pledged by his language in the House in May last year to the pro mise that "the Maynooth Endowment Act must be repealed," and it is no answer to say, as be does, that he fulfils his obligation by repealing the grant. He deprives the Irish Church of the position accorded to it by favour of the State, and he is bound to deal out exactly the same measure to Maynooth. If he disestablishes one he must disestablish the other. His bargain with the country, the understanding upon which be gained his majority, was, that all State privileges and State aid to Maynooth should be withdrawn, and that not one farthing of the plunder of the Irish Church should be handed over to the Roman Catholics, and this is the way in which he keeps faith: Maynooth retains the position accorded to it by the State, and it receives a capital sum of 380,0000 from the revenues of the Church. Thus far there has been no attempt whatever to justify the breach of faith in the latter case. Let Maynooth be deprived of its corporate character, let it be required to pay up the building charges, and let the compensation to the pro fessors and tutors be paid out of the Consolidated Fund and cease with the present office-holders. Thus, and thus only, will Mr. Gladstone have fulfilled his distinct obli gations in this matter, and have redeemed the promises on the faith of which he gained so many votes from the Protestant Dissenters of Wales and Scotland. As Mr. Fielden asked, in his masterly address, can any one doubt what would have been the answer of such constituencies if they had known that Maynooth was to carry off £380,000 from the revenues of the Protestant Church? Is it to be supposed, as Sir John Pakington puts it, that the country would have approved of a scheme which favours the Roman Catholic Church at the expense of Protestantism? The Daily News says that widely interesting as the May meetings prove themselves to be, there is a popular prejudice against them. We believe, however, that, like other forms of prejudice, it is founded on a false imprei mien. It is generally believed that at the majority of these meetings the current of philanthropic sympathy is almost exclusively directed away from home. But a glance at the long list of societies which bold their anniversaries at this season will, of itself, rectify this mistake. There may be a good deal of narrowness in many of the persons who figure at these gatherings, but it is only common fairness to them to remember that all over England they are carrying on a crusade against ignorance and vice. Even the men and women whose mites make up the large revenues of the great mis sionary societies are nearly all of them actively engaged in some work of Christian philanthropy in their own neigh bourhood. For ourselves, we confess that a review of these great organisations of charity, though it naturally shews much misdirected energy and much wasteful zeal, gives us such a glimpse of the wealth of philanthropic feeling, and the power of sacrifice for the public good which lies under the surface of English society, that if we bad any misgivings for the future of our country, we should take heart of hope and be once more confident of its destiny. The Telegraph says that the Mayor of Cork is to be abolished by Act of Parliament. Since his remarkable vagaries were first made known, the question of calling him to account has necessarily occupied the earnest attention of those who are responsible for the peace and order of the United Kingdom. But, in the interval, lie has done his very best to . reinfo :e every argument for .arresting his cxtravagancies—frater nlsing with a muster of roughs, gathered to encourage his ludicrous escapades, brawling on the very bench, and so defying the usages of his office as to suggest to his colleagues the possibility of his removal. The result has fulfilled our anticipation of Saturday last, and effectual proceedings will this day be taken to stop the znischicrous exhibition. We then explained the very serious difficulties which must beset any attempt at interference—difficulties alike of a prac tical and a technical nature ; the actual law making no ro /ision for the prompt removal of an elected magistrate for acts not committed in the exercise of his office. Still, as Mr. O'Sullivan has "deranged himself " in a prominent position ; as his continuance in office is a public zcandal ; as inaction might be misinterpreted by Fenians to mean something by vacillation, if not fear—it is needful to take the steps for his removal from office. Nobody wants to make him a martyr, or inflict any terrible punishment for his silly talk ; but he" must never more be officer" of ours. The limes observes that nobpdy can be surprised that projects are afloat for the reform of our Ecclesiastical Courts. It is certainly high time that the Church Discipline Act should be revised, if only for the purpose of clearing up ambiguities on points which ought no longer to be left subject to doubt. To judge by the case of the Rev. W. J. E. Bennett, a prosecution in the Ecclesiastical Courts is like to nothing in the world so much as to a game of battledore and shuttlecock. After examining the several methods of preliminary procedure proposed by Sir Robert Phillimore and others, the Tin^s says there is not much weight in the reasons offered in favour of the Archiepiscopal Court possessing the discretion claimed for it by Sir Robert Phillimore, at least after an adverse report from a commission of inquiry. Bishops may safely be left to look after their own jurisdiction. It is not likely they will shirk their duties by shifting them to the court of the archbishop. If they were so indolent or indifferent, they would probably prefer to exercise the power which they possess of preventing criminal proceedings altogether rather than institute them merely to send them on to a superior tribunal. We do not see why "letters of request" should not be equivalent to a mandate. We are not shocked at the idea of the law conferring upon the inferior court authority to transfer a cause to the jurisdiction of a superior one. Sir Robert Phillimore insists that a court of appeal has a right to the advantage of the judgment of the inferior court, and argues that this of all others is a case on which the bishop ought to exercise his jurisdiction, because it is " a case of alleged heresy connected with some of the most awful mysteries of our religion." On the contrary, this seems to us just the reason why the bishop should forego his right. These doctrinal questions, if they are stirred at all, ought to be settled authoritatively and without delay. Definitive settlement cannot come from the court of the diocese or from the court of the province, and 'reiterated and inconclusive discussions are to be depre cated, as oppressive to the parties and irritating to the public. It is, therefore, advisable that every step should be taken which can accelerate the arrival - of the cause before the tribunal of the Privy Council. The Herald asks, Who is, to use an Americanism, " Boss," in the existing Radical Administration? This is a question requiring a prompt and unambiguous answer in justice to the people of Ireland, no matter to what poli tical party belonging. It is absolutely necessary for the tranquillity of the sister country, as well as for the safety of the empire, that it should be known beyond any doubt who the statesman is whose policy is to rule in the pro mised enactment on the Irish land question. Is it to be that of the right hon. gentleman the President of the Board of Trade, or that of the First Lord of the Treasury, the reputed head of her Majesty's Ministry. At this moment it is impossible to say whose opinion is in the ascendant. The debate on Mr. Graves's motion will have an effect the very contrary of what he anti cipated, for the Irish tenantry will be more firmly convinced than they ever were before, from the speeches delivered by the leading members of the Government, that they are to be promptly converted into proprietors. And can we be surprised that they should be ? Far shrewder and better acquainted with political matters than they are supposed to be, they find Mr. Gladstone playing second fiddle to Mr. Bright, and quite willing to submit to his dictation. They are perfectly aware that without his co-operation and support the Ministry could not exist, and while waiting in anxious expectation for the despoil ment of the Church, which will afford land fora commence ment of the " innocent experiment," they will hold a firm grasp of their own tenements by terrifying or murdering their landlcrds, should it be needful, until the plan which Mr. Bright has in his pocket can be conveniently carried out on so extensive a scale as to reach themselves. CASLIDATES FOR MARRIAGE. The lady next on the list writes very determinedly, and evidently meant to secure the luckless Lambert for her family if she could not get him personally. She says : " Sir,—l with pleasure saw it advertised in the Inde pendent' to-day you was in wants of a partner and would be obliged if you will acpt Miss A.M. A—, tall, dark hair, dark eyes, and what the world calls good looking (age 23. or my sister who is (24) good looking. A widdow no children. A fortune at her own disposal willed to her by her late husband Mr. R. —, or if you would prefer a light young lady my friend Miss C. M. C—, who is at present residing in sheffield, but is scotch, light hair, blue eyes, and affectionate will accept you please to answer in Tuesday 'lndependent,' and you shall hear fearther from me—Please not delay as I shall be ancouse to know which you prefer." The next letter betrays a scornful and characteristic disdain for orthography and punctuation. It is as follows : " My dear fren Iv Sean in to Day Nuse Paper you Wanting A wife I shall be glad for a good husborn But I should Be very Glad to now you age firs 2 I should like to now Whether you are Good temper My age is 24 years and a little Incom for Life and if you are Really in Wants of A Wife I should be happy to seay you after you Have Sent you Likenes and then I will meat you at my sisters and then We Will talk the Matter Over. Short aquantress Som times makes Long Repentne [Repentance]. But I Would Mak you Comforable While I Liv and A Little After I am Dead Weakly Incom--P.S. Excuse my Biting. PS Anserr by Next Post." Other letters are from " a publican's daughter twenty. three years of age and as no objection to be a Partner if bouth sides sues tegether ;" from " the daughter of a respectable farmer who will be glad to ma k e y ou we l come any time you come if we can make things right," and several which bear the appearance of having been written for the purpose of hoaxing the supposed advertiser. Mr. Lambert, the complainant, was called, and was being examined, when a conversation took place between the legal gentlemen and the bench as to whether some arrangement could not be come to between the parties. Eventually an apology was accepted, and the defendants got off on paying the costs, amounting to as. AESTRALASIAN GOLD.—The value of Austra -1 lasian gold imported into the - United Kingdom to March 31 this year was £1,000,420, as compared with £i3-IA9 in the corresponding period of ISCS, and 521,168,150 in the corresponding period of 1E67. France, though we buy her literature to the amount of more than MAO a year, only sent us £385 for the few English works she required ; while Turkey paid us £3,193, and Chili £1,504 for English publications. Germany also despises English printed matter ; she pays us not £4CO a year for all she imports. TIIE WILTES PEERAGE CLAT3L—The House of Lords' Committee of Privileges, under the pre sidency of Lord Redesdale, has just decided a case which had been before the House for several years. Simon Thomas Scrope claimed the Earl dom of Wiltes, which was created by letters patent in the 21st of King Richard 11. Their lordships, after entering minutely into the details of the case and the law and usage bearing on the clam, decided that the claimant had not made out his title to the Earldom of Wiltes. COSTLY DELAY. Unfortunately the " law's delays" are not among the things that were. A curious ex ample of this comes from India. A Hindoo widow, who had been left the sum of £20,000 by her husband, had her right to the bequest disputed by the other members of the family. In order to defend herself in the courts she was compelled to borrow money, and while the law proceedings dragged their tortuous lentil slowly on, she had to keep borrowing, until, when, at length the case was ripe for trial, it was found that the parties from whom the poor widow had borrowed had become lawful possessors of the £20,000. A WEEKLY RFTURN OF WORK IN BIRMINGHA3f. —A week's work in Birmingham in its aggregate results is something wonderful. It comprises the fabrication of fourteen millions of pens, six thousand bedsteads, seven thousand guns, three hundred millions of cut nails, one hundred millions of buttons, one thousand saddles, five millions of copper or bronze coins, twenty thousand pairs of spectacles, six tons of papier.mache ware, £30,000 worth of jewellery, four thousand miles of iron and steel wire, ten tons of pins, five tons of hairpins, hooks, eyes, and eyelets, one hundred and thirty thousand gross of wood screws, five hundred tons of nuts, screw-bolts, spikes, and rivets, fifty tons of wrought-iron hinges, three hundred and fifty miles length of wax for vestas, forty tons of refined metal, forty tons of German silver, one thousand dozens of fenders, three thousand five hundred bellows, a thousand roasting jacks, one hundred and fifty sewing machines, eight hun 7 1 dred tons of brass and copper wares, besides an almost endless multitude of miscellaneous articles, of which no statist:es can be given, but which, like those enumerated, find employment for hundreds and thousands of busy hands, and are destined to supply the manifold wants of humanity, from China to Peru. —The Engineer.

A long, amusing, and animated discus. siun took piece, several members strong!y urging Mr. Ferguson to withdraw his overture, but he dee:hied. The Rev. Mr. Whyte, Innellan, then proposed :—" That the Synod of Argyle, having heard Mr. Ferguson in support of his overture, resolve : " That while there is no differ ence of opinion in this synod respecting the evil of promis cuous dancing, and the evils connected therewith, and the views which have always been held in the Church on the subject, and also the duty incumbent on all members of tliis Church to testify in all suitable ways against these evils, they deem it inexpedient in the present circum stances to transmit this overture." Mr. D. Robertson, elder, secon ded the motion. After some di scuss i on, a • division took place at 2.45 on Thursday morning, when the amendment of M. Whyte was carried by a majority. —Scotsman.. At the Sheffield Town Hall, on Monday, three young men, named respectively George Herd, silversmith, Joseph Fidler, silversmith, and Arthur Harrop, of Broom hall-street, were charged by John Wilmer Lambert, auger filer, St. Mary's-road, Sheffield, for "that they did unlaw fully, maliciously, and knowingly, and with intent to pro voke a breach of the peace, cause to be inserted in a certain public newspaper called the Sheffield Independent a certain false, scandalous, and defamatory statement of a libel of and concerning one John Wilmer Lambert, and against the peace of our Lady the Queen." The advertisement complained of was as follows: "To single young women,—A young man wishes to meet with a partner for life. - -Any young lady feeling dis posed, apply by letter, William Lambert, auger filer, St. Mary's-road, Sheffield." Many answers had been received to the advertisement, and those given below are average specimens of their spelling and diction : " Aperil 5, 1E69. Sir—seeing Advertisement In the ' Independent' that you are in Wants a partner for life so i hoffermyself as a Candate But Befoare there Is much More caresspondence I should like an intearew with you.

If you wish to see me, will you please to come over to Roche Abbey to-morrow, and meet me by the old abbey at three o'clock.

Tali 6UN, LON'T)2O Nt _WEDNES6AY EVE.Ni.NO,-lijAY. 5 1869. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. TAR STATE OF IRELAND. -~ , " W. li. G.," whom it is not difiictllt to recognise as Mr. Greg, the well-known essayist and reviewer, writes a forcible letter to the Pall Mall Gazette on the state of Ireland. He gives a list of thirteen instances of murders, or attempts to murder, since (and including) December 20th, 1867 ; he recalls several cases of threatening letters, and draws attention to the case of Mr. Ilorridge, J.P., Westmeath, who was fired at on his way to church, and who now goes about escorted by two Policemen. He confirms, on the authority of private letters, what Lord Stanley said about the general sense of insecurity in Ireland, and the consequent stoppage of works and improvements; and asks, Who is responsible for this most sad state of things ? " Impartial justice will reply : the British people, British statesmen, the British Constitution ? English orators, English politicians." Mr. Greg's indictment includes all the prominent statesmen and writers on the Liberal side • and he charges them with a general ignorance or disregard of the Irish character. The Irish (he says) are a fervid, imaginative race. Inflexible j ustice awes them; severity is yielded to as fate; crime, if followed by stern, speedy punishment, is soon drivenfrom amongst them ; but mercy is taken for weakness ; cle mency is attributed to fear; crime unpunished soon grows and multiplies. " Yet it is to this people that Mr. Mill spoke of the immediate creation of a peasant proprietary; that Mr. Bright pronounced against English landowners, and spoke of an Ireland two thousand miles away in which the populace would rise and exterminate the dominant race ; and that Mr. Gladstone declared that he would try to govern Ireland according to Irish ideas. If they would make Ireland a peaceful, happy, contented nation. they must go very differently in the future. THE GRAVES IN THE CRIMEA. " G. Arbuthnot" writes to the Times on the con dition of the graves in the Crimea, and adds his voice to that of Dr. Russell in denouncing the mean ness of the English Government in this matter. He believes there are more than seventy-two cemeteries, the most interesting being on Cathcart Iu 11. Here he spent two or three hours only last summer, making a list of the names, &c. The stones are in many cases crumbling away. But the graves hero are by no means as bad as in Balaclava. There the wall has in some parts been knocked down, some head-stones are broken, others are lying on their faces, and the place is without anyone to look after it. The French manage things better. They have gathered their dead into one cemetery, and have put a man to attend to it. The same thing has been. done by ourselves at Scutari. But before Sebastopol, where fell the bravest, the noblest of England's sons, there will soon be nothing but mounds here and there to mark the last resting-places of our deal warriors. "'Three measures, and I believe three only," says Mr. Greg, " would now bring tranquillity to Ireland, the tran quillity of feared and assured control of law to the dis turbed minds of the peasantry and farmers, the tranquillity of secure r e li ance on th e law to' the irritated and alarmed minds of the landowners. First, a law making the maintenance of the family of any landlord, agent, or occupier, murdered for agrarian reasons, a first charge on the rates of the district, to be levied at once and levied upon occupiers alone. Secondly, the location in every such district of a detective police force 'in plain clothes, literally and metaphorically, till the murderers and their accomplices were given up, coupled with a Queen's proclamation to the effect that no pardon or commutation of the sentence of the law could in such cases be under any circumstances hoped for. And thirdly, a vote of both Houses of Parliament, passed by such overwhelming majorities as to preclude all prospectof retrogression in any-subsequent session and with Mr. Glad stone and Mr. Brig h tswelling those majorities, to the effect that while ample and prompt and easy compensation should be granted to tenants for all unexhausted improve. meats, no legislation would concede `fixity of tenure,' or interfere with the established rights of property in any shape or under any pretext. In a word, Lord Stanley's very temperate advice should be taken. Agitators and assassins would then cease to hope, to intimidate, and to waylay ; and improving landlords and enterprising capi talists might cease to fear and to withdraw." - _itinan_iib_ertY.to marry his wife's sister, it ought also pirate was a public nuisance, involving the British to give a woman liberty to marry her husband's move an instruction to th a t brother; Government, whi c h m u s t respon d i n d amages, not ; -and he will effect when the House goes into committee on Mr. only to the individuals who have suffered, but also to T.

Mr. SUMNER closed with these words : "The truth must be told, not in anger, but in sadness. England has done to the United States an injury most difficult to measure. Considering when it was done and in what complicity, it is most unaccountable. At a great epoch of history, not less momentous than that of the French Revolution or that of the Reformation, when civilization was fighting a last battle with slavery, Eng land gave her name, her influence, her material resources to the wicked cause, and flung a sword into the scale with slavery. Here was a protentous mistake. Strange that the land of Wilberforce, after spending millions for eman cipation, after proclaiming everywhere the truths of liberty, and ascending to glorious primacy in the sublime movement for the universal abolition of slavery, could do this thing! Like every departure from the rule of justice and good neighbourhood, her conduct was pernicious in proportion to the scale of operations, affecting individuals, corporations, communities, and the nation itself. And yet, down to this day, there is no acknowledgment of this wrong; not a single word. Such a generous expression would be the beginning of a just settlement, and the best assurance of that harmony between the two great and kindred nations which all must desire." Mr. FESSENDEN briefly indorsed what Mr. SUMNER had said, and but Senator M'CREERY, of Kentucky, out of fifty-five, opposed the rejection.. GARRETT DAVIS, of Kentucky, also asked for a day's delay to consider, but this being rejected, he likewise voted with the majority ; so the Democrats joined the Republicans in throwing out a treaty framed for set tling the damages caused by the action of their Southern friends working in the cause of slavery from the base furnished by their allies in England, on the plea of its being too lenient. Mr. MOTLEY is Senator SU3INER'S guest at Washington, and his instructions may be gathered from this speech. They formed the matter for an especial Cabinet meeting, and it is announced that the new Admi nistration will act on the views of the Chamber. Unless some unlo 3ked for solution turns up thereis no chance whatever of the settlement of the Alabama Claims. If England under -rates the magnitude of the injury the Republic sustained at her hands, the United States, in a still greater degree, exagge rates it, and the nations, seeing things from .points so wholly different, have little chance of reconciling the discrepancies. Mr. LAIRD built a wooden ship for the Confederates, and a poor thing she was, and such old crazy craft as the Shenandoah, the Georgia, and the Sumter, found eager sellers in owners only too happy to get rid of them. But these vessels now are " the ships after ships that were built, armed, equipped, and manned in England," which country became the Confederate base of naval ope rations. The Tribune never speaks of them but as the " ironclads," and the tone is so extravagant that the strong position of the United States is weakened in the general incredulity which therebyattaches to all the arguments. Anotherpointadvers3toasettlement, unless the speakers mean a settlement by war, though this is universally disclaimed, is the habit of dragging into the discussion everything JOHN BRIGHT said in the heat of debate against England. Instead of his presence in the Cabinet forwarding an adjustment, the chances are it will have thc reverse effect. A n influ ential section of English society believeJOHN BRIGHT to be more American than English, and as Ameri cans constantly quote him in support of ultra de mands, and in proof of the villainy of England, any thing he proposed or that he sanctioned would be regarded with the extreme of suspicion. Mr. SU3INER stated there were many in America who would desire to push this matter to war, and he thought there were many in England who, taking counsel of a perverse political bigotry, have spurned the claims, adding, " I know it is sometime s said that war between us must come sooner or later. I do not believe it ; but if it must come, let it be later, when I am sure it will never come, for good men will unite to make it impossible." Many, however, good or bad appear to be uniting now to make it not only possible but probable. In England the people are being taught to believe iu the bitter enmity tO them of the PRESIDENT; in the hatred of the whole Republic, in the desire for war nut only of GRANT, but of all his chief advisers, and in the certainty that unless they gather themselves up so that their attitude should make it one of the most disastrous steps ever taken by a nation to force that war upon them, forced it will be, or they will be pushed into humiliating concessions, which will prove even worse than vain to avert it. Every effort made to do honour to the American representative lately sent, the English say but recoiled on their own head, being hurled contemptuously back ; and thus it ever is, concession breeds but demand, no olive branch can conciliate, nor can any national humiliation satisfy American hatred. Such opi nions are so widely held that it will make Mr. MOT LEY'S task very different from that of Mr. REVERDY JOHNSON. The correpondent of the Times asserts that the feelings of hostility in America at this moment towards England are quite equal to those entertained at any time during the late civil war. The English ask, why? Is this the response to the friendly interchange of expressions with the Repre sentative sent by America, and our concession of all he asked ? Believing the assertion, the conclu sion is direct that even if they conceded what Mr. SUMNER sketches as the American demand, that the hostility would then boil over, and be instantly fol lowed by a war. It is pitiable to see what poor contemptible things the leading nations of the world are ! Those who did not know that other nations were more contemptible still, might wonder at such as thes.i being leaders, for their conduct can only be compared to that of baboons attempting to beat out each other's brains with the nuts they had stored for winter. England's reception of SUMNER'S exposition of the subject is what we expected. It is considered so preposterous as to remove the question beyond the limits of discussion. No Ministry of any party could hold their places if they entertained it, and as the speech is regarded as the official declaration of the American people, to be framed by Mr. MOTLEY into diplomatic demands from which he cannot recede, the settlement of the claims is not considered even possible. The Washington Ad ministration will hereafter then have to consider the next steps on Mr. MOTLEY'S announcing the de termination of the British Government. If General CrntiN 1, rils ativisers, and Congress desire war (as some people are foolish enough to assert), an itn ;' mediate declaration will not only be open, but be the natural sequence, and it is clear that although ; England does not look for such consequences, the people are being taught to consider them not im possible. Indeed, we may add, that they are care fully being trained to regard hostilities as the almost certain eventual result of America's course, and the caution is everywhere given to prepare. The in tense and unmitigated hatred of America towards England is spoken of as a fact beyond dispute, although it is as gross an exaggeration, amounting to an untruth, as was ever palmed off upon a people. " How is it you hate us so bitterly ?" asked an English lady the other day of an American. " Hate you!" exclaimed she with surprise, not comprehending at once what was msant. " Why we do not hate you—ho w cou ld you have received i such an impression ?" llad she read the En g lish papers there would h ave b een no necessity for this question. The Times of yesterday quoted Dr. LEA \ITT, to whom the gold medal of the Cobden Club was lately awarded in proof of " the perfect truth" that Protection in America " is cherished as a weapon of special power to injure the British na tion." If the writer gets into a " ring" he might learn something more about the objects of Protec tion, although Monopolists may use the ignorant Irish element by representie, their privileet s a s ruinous to English trad3. T " he Tim es also ' states that the fate of the American Union at one moment depended " ou the voice of England." It notices as a lamentable instance of the partizanship of Ame rican statesmen that Mr. SUMNER did not once allude in his speech !o France, although the coun tries acted together, and it is a matter of history 1 that the DEI;EROR would have recogniieed the in - - . dependence of the Confederation had not the Bri tish Government opposed it. It is a pity that Mr. MOTLEY should be sent on an errand so fruitles3 as he will find his mission to England ; but it is as well that the refusal even to entertain the demands about to be made should be couchtd in courteous terms, accompanied with regret that the negotiations should have failed, and that this reply be forwarded to Washington through such friendly hands. And it must not be forgotten henceforth, by either England or America, that as the relations between the countries will rest on an insecure basiP, they should be confided to good and well-tried men, or those who have worked for the rupture may find it burst upon them, like a tornado, before they are ready. We still hold to the of inion that the extravagance of these demands is but a feint-- and that Mr. SUMNER'S real aitn is the annexation of the Canadas. UNITED S 7 ATES CURRESCE The currency in the United States consists almost wholly of legal-tenders, nick-named greenbacks, and notes of the National Banks. Both were de signed by Chief Justice CHASE when Secretary of the Treasury, under whose auspices in 1861 the bank -note circulation that then obtained currency, was converted into legal-tenders, and the Acts were passed in 1863, which created the National Banks and permitted their issues. The one system was in a high degree profitable to the State, as it made money, au inconvertible legal-tender, out of rags; theother was in a high degree profitable to the proprietors of the stock, who through it received in annual interest upon their capital 14 to 15 per cent. The privilege of a National Bank is to issue in the proportion of $90,000 in notes for every $lOO,OOO in United States Bonds deposited in the National Treasury, the extent to which this may be done being limited by law. It follows that while the Bank draws 6 per cent. in gold on the Bonds it has deposited in the Treasury, it is permitted to traffic with a sum only fractionally less for its own benefit, obtaining thereby double interest. Such a privilege is worth having, and that the people eagerly availed themselves of it is evident from the rapid increase of the National Banks. On the 25th March, 1863, the law was passed, and on the 20th June following the first bank was organized. In October, 1864, there were 50 of these banks with an aggregate capital of $86,782,802, and a year later they numbered 1,513 with a capital of $393,157,206, increasing so as on Jan. 1, 1868, to exceed two hundred thousand proprietors, with a capital of $120,073,415. The system worked well, answering the wants of the people at the time. The great crisis of the war was tided over, and the monetary affairs of the nation were placed on a more secure foundation, as was shown by the few failures and the small sums lost to the creditors by the insolvent insitutions. One great advantage was that they facilitated exchange as their bills were current in distant State 3, whereas the old notes were only received in places far from that of issue, at a heavy discount. The Senate has lately passed a bill to amend these Acts, of which the Fourth Section is important, as it provides for a better distribution of the national banking cur rency. We do not say that the Senate therein acts a like part to that CANUTE satirised when he placed his chair on the shore, and, surrounded by his courtiers, commanded the flowing tide to recede. The section withdraws $30,000,000 from banks having a circulation exceeding that provided for, distributing the overplus an - ong the banks in States wherein there is less than the authorized amount. The law provides for a total of $300,000,000, and the comptroller is to calculate on the basis of the half, or $150,000,000, accorded to population, and the other half, or $150,000,000, accorded to pro perty, real and personal; but he must so arrange that the aggregate of circulation shall not at any time exceed the whole or $300,000,000. The Fifth Section is as follows : "Sec. 5. And bi it further enacted, that any Banking Association located in any State having more than its pro portion of circulation, may be removed to any State having less than its proportion of circulation, under such rules and regulations as the Coutrjller of the Currency, with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, may require." Early last year, of all the 1,639 United States Banks, New England possessed 490, with $83,000,000 of deposits, $104,000,000 in circulation, and a capital of $145,000,000. In the State of New York there were 314 Banks, but their deposits swelled up to $262,000,000, the circulation being $69,000,000, and the capital $116,000,000. The three middle Stares of Ohio, Indiana, andlllinois together had 290 Banks, with $18,000,000 o f deposits, $:3.9,000,000 of circulation, and $16,000,000 capital. All the other States and Territories, excluding Pennsy lvania, had 342 Banks ; deposits, $73,000,000; circulation, $ 4 2,000,000 ; and capital $67,000,000. This distribution wanot unequal, alth oug h th e single State of Newyork possessed little less in deposits than all the others put together. When the rebellion ended, however, the South could have neither greenbacks nor National Bank notes, while whatever the Southerners had hoarded in gold, and their few stray legal-tenders, were expended at once to keep them from starvation. On the Southern States being re-admitted the distribution of the cur rency was in the highest degree unequal, as a large section of the country had no money at all, nor was it the intention of Congressthat these "rebels" should have any, as the Legislature ruled that it served them right. But here we find the laws of nature commencing their beautiful work of reno vation. The South bred in luxury, and trained to squander, was taught by the results of the war lessons of economy, which are now strangely react ing on the Union. Two bad harvests followed wars devastations, then the tide of Southern luck turned, the yield of cotton increased, as well as the value, grain had been cultivated, and the poverty-stricken Southerners, cured of their extra vagancies, ceasing to regard luxuries as necessaries, and taught to practise economy, absorbed all the money they got, sending little back to pay for that which in olden days they had so freely con sumed. The South was like an empty reservoir, into which poured sundry streams, but the water remained, and will remain until it commences to over flow. The currency comes from the North, where the drain begins to be felt, but it is in the West that the shoe pinches, as circumstances there are the reverse of those in the South. The produce of these States sold well during the war, the cur rency inflated prices, and the farmers, with an ex aggerated idea of their wealth, lived more expen sively. These conditions have lately changed, both the farms and the value of their produce hav ing fallen, but the farmers refuse to accept the fact, holding the grain in conjunction with spec ulators, for higher prices, while they maintain their style of living. Thus the South is not spending money though making it, while the West is not making money but spending it, the East being merely the channel of trade. In con sequence currency has been flowing from the West to the East to pay for the luxuries so freely con sumed, while that stream thence tends South in payment for cotton and other Southern staples, or is carried there in the pockets of settlers in search of cheap (states. This is in obedience to a very simple law of economy, which no law of Congress can alter, or even modify. If the West will buy Eastern produce, but will not sell its own produce, it will be depleted of currency to pay; and it is in vain for Congress to attempt to supply the deficiency thus created, for it can only be done by the Western citizens acting on the plain rule of consuming less and creating mote. Nothing can be simpler than the economy taught by ADAM Ssirrtt, but the world will often persist in looking on such questions as abstruse, and seek deep, for c tuses and remedies, while they lie on the surface. If they be on the top, and Congress bur rows at the bottom, the deeper these wise Legisla tors get the further they are from what they seek. Nor is this Act grounded only on an economic error ; or the Nation shows that it would in no Way, even temporarily, procure the object sought. The IQgi sl.Ltion of Congress is intended to give a State the privilege of obtaining currency on the pledge of United States Securities in a limited proportion to its population and property ; but is this privilege beyond what each person possesses in his own right? Any one who has these securities can at any time obtain greenbacks on them ; if they must gather MR. BRIGHT'S LAND SCIIF.ME. The Star, in its defence of Mr. Bright, declared incidentally that Mr. Gladstone cried out " No," in answer to the question put by Mr. Hardy, "Has Mr. Bright given forth the measure agreed upon by the Cabinet " The Star is now requested to say that this was a mistake. Mr. Gladstone did not answer Mr. Hardy's question. The London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian says that Mr. Bright's blunder on Friday night has given rise to "much bickering and bitte& ness " among the Liberal pasty. The disagreement is said to have invaded the Cabinet itself. " The names of more than one member of the Cabinet are freely mentioned in connection with warm dig , claimers of the assumption by the President of the ' Board of Trade of the right to pledge them to his well-known scheme for buying up Irish estates with Government money, and breaking them up into peasant properties. It is said by those who dislike the scheme, and who obiect to its announcement from the Treasury Bench' before it has been consi dered in the Cabinet, that the expressions with which it was accompanied, intimating that unless brought forward its author would not con tinue to hold the office of a Minister, were calculated to take away freedom of deliberation in the Cabinet. This is stoutly controverted by the friends and supporters of the right lion. gentleman, and will, as a matter of course, be repudiated by his colleagues, if they are interrogated on the subject, in both Houses." MR. MAGUIRE AND THE IRISH LAND LAWS. Mr. Maguire, M.P., has addressed a letter to the editor of the Londonderry Standard, in which he advises the citizens of Derry to put their views on the relations between them and the Irish Society clearly before the Government. The Govern ment, tiirough the Chief Secretary for Ireland, have, he says, admitted the uns:ltisfactory nature of the relations existing between the Ir;sh Society and their tenants, the citizens of Derry, and lie thinks it highly important that the wishes of the inhabitants should be distinctly enunciated. Ile recommends that a memorial should be addressed to the Lord- Lieutenant. " LEVELLING UP." Even that very Protestant organ the Rock suggests that the Lords can do better than accept the Irish Church Bill, by allowing. every tithepayer to pay his tithe in behalf of that Church to which he belongs, and so avoiding the necessity of disestablishing and disendowing the Irish Church. Considering that our contemporary belongs to the school of politicians which sees in excessive drought or excessive rain, in cattle-plague or cholera, a punishment for the sin of endowing Maynooth, this suggestion from such a quarter is almost portentous. THE YOUGHAL ELECTION. The Conservative journals are calling attention, as well they may, to the course adopted by the Government with regard to the issuing of a new writ for Youghal. Mr. Weguelin, as all the world knows, was unseated for bribery. Mr. Justice O'Brien at the trial declared that Mr. Weguelin's expenditure had exceeded £5,000, and as he polled only 127 votes, this was more than £4O spent upon each elector who voted for him. Clearly the corruption must have been on the largest scale, and if there were any case demanding a commission of inqu iry,an d in the meanwhile the suspen sion of the writ, it was this. Nevertheless, the Govern ment determined to issue the writ, and on a division were supported by such a large number of their followers (there were a few honourable exceptions) that they obtained an easy victory. It is not to such " base uses " as this that Mr. Gladstone's " splendid majority " ought to be put. POLITICS AND THE PRESS. Two Irish newspapers have just given rise to actions for libel on account of remarks made during the recent elections. The 7'ipperary and Clare Independent had called Mr. Munster, who opp ose d Mr. O'Beirne, (lately unseated for Cashel), " a down right political aclventu rer an d hypocrite, who should re ceivefrom the people of Cashel neither encouragemen t nor countenance; and added, "on corruption and political prostitution does Henry Munster depend to fight the battle and oust Mr. O'Beirne;" and again, " that his punch and porter flew more plentifully than pump water in the City of the Kings." On applying to the publishers of the newspaper for some apology or explanation, the MS. was handed over, and this was found to be in the handwriting, and admittedly so, of Mr. O'Connor, who wza engaged in no way with the staff of the journal, but actively engaged in the interests of Mr. O'Peirne. Thereupon Mr. Munster filed a criminal information against Mr. O'Connor, and a conditional order was granted. But the judges sitting in banco refused to confirm it, on the ground that Mr. Munster had his remedy in a civil course of action, and also because neither party had come into court with clean hands. In the other case, the Roman Catholic Dean Mawes proceeded against the Irishnian for an article commenting upon a speech delivered by him in behalf of The O'l)onoghne. The strange thing about this action seems to be that the article complained of should have been thought libellous. It simply stated that The o:Donoghue and Dean Mawes had insinuated that " certain men their lives and liberties f or th e sacredwh o had ad c a g u i s v e e n p o u f Ireland were guilty of infamous conduct." The action was demurred to on the ground that it disclosed no course of action. The demurrer was allowed. Considering the excited state of Ireland, the marvel is that every paper in the kingdom is not being prosecuted for libel. THE ECCLESIASTICAL TITLES BILL. This bill, which has been brought in by Mr. nEvoy in order to repeal the abortive Act passed in the panic of the "Papal aggression," appears to be hanging fire. Th e second reading i s pu t off until July ,at which time it is scarcely likely to be come law. Thi s i s to be regretted, because it com promises the dignity of Parliament to have upon the statute-hook an Act whi c h i s i nfr ; nged every day, and which no one ventures to enforce. THE PENsr:TT CASE. Sir P.obcrt Phillhnore has evidently no wish to hear the charge of heresy against Mr. Bennett. Nobody but the Church Association seems to can) to have anything to do with the prosecution, from the Archbishop of Canterbury downward. But the decision of the l)can of Arches is called in ques tion. The Daily Te! . earaph is quite angry about it. " When Parliament," it says, " authorises a bishop to send a cause ' to the Court of Appeal of th e P rov i nce, to be there heard and determined,' it is n o t easy to see how the judge of such court can escape the obliga tion of hearing and determining the cause s') sent. There is not a word or syllable in the statute indi cating that the judge has any option in the natter; and this is the first instance in which any such option has been claimed." MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED HUSBAND'S BROTHER. Mr. Collins thinks that it tke _Wyse means to give THE SOMIALI CAPTIVES. The believers in the Soumali captives are not yet convinced. A correspondent representing-their views writes to the papers asking that the publi c s h a ll suspend judgment until further inquiries have been made. THE TEMPERAMIE OF THE MONTH. The month of April has been remarkable chiefly for abnormal atmospheric heat. According to Mr. Allnatt, from the Ist of April to the 10th, with some few fluctuations, the temperature gradually rose. On that d a y there was a southern wind, and although there were clouds now and again passing across' the sun, the heat was greatly excessive. The mean temperature was 57 deg. a difference of 18 deg. above that of last year. At ten o'clock the thermometer registered 54 d e ,;,, and at two 70 deg., giving a mean of 02 do z. 17 deg. higher than the average of fifty years. On the 12th the shade thermometer registered 71 deg., and the oppressive heat continued until the 15th, when it began to diminish, until it fell, onthe2Oth, to below ; the average. The rest of the month was marked by fluctuations. The rainfall of the month was deficient . by nearly three-fourths of an inch. BEETROOT SUGAR. According to all appear: noes we shall, before long, see on our breakfast tables th)se large snow-white triangles of sugar which astonish English travellers at their first meal on the Continent. The persons who are promoting the manufacture of beetroot sugar are making preparations for experiments on a sufficiently large scale to test the matter thoroughly. The Chambers of Agriculture Journal particu larly exhorts such persons to take careful note of the comparative productiveness of the different varieties of th e p l ant. T hey s h ou ld no t only test the weight of produce and percentage yield of sugar, but put by a quantity of roots, with a view to the growing of seed for themselves. " Then, with seed so grown, exchanges can be nrde from one part of the kingdom to the other, and we shall be in a fair way of procuring an acclimatised British variety of sugar beet." MAKING HAY WHILE THE SUN DOES NOT SHINE. Mr. W. A. Gibbs, of Gilwell Park, Woodford, Essex, hils invented • machine for making hay inde pendently of the He calls his apparatus the " D es i cca t or. " It w ill convert grass into hay without th e h e l p of sunshine, and without loss of the nutritive constituents : it will dry corn in the sheaf, so that safe harvesting may be proceeded w ith i n spite of the weather; it will drive off the water out of sliced b ee t root, and t h us li g ht en its conveyance for the use of the sugar manufacturer; and it w ill chang e mangolds or other roots into dry concen trated food. Mr. Gibbs has lately introduced improvements in the construction of his simple air stove, so that without a steam-engine the desiccating process can be easily carried on by help of common horse -works driving a fan. GOOD SEWS FOR VELOCIPEDISTS. A turnpike collector, at Romsey, lately demanded 2s. Gd. as toll f or a ve l oc i pe d e . Th e ve l oc i pedist paid it under protest, and then summoned the 'pike man before th e mag i stra t es f or ill ega ll y d emanding it. The magistrates have decided that the demand was illegal, for there was no authority under which it could be made. The 'pikeman, therefore, had to repay the 2s. ed., and to pay a fine of Gd. and all the costs. A clergyman has written to one of the Church papers, hailing the invention of the velocipede as a special boon to poor incumbents and curates. Those having long distances to go, and not being able to afford a horse, which, though it ma y b e as w orthless as Mr. Mozley's, requires to be fed and kept, may well rejoice in the prospect of a horse e' dandy chargers" they used to be called some thirty years ago) which requires no stable and consumes no oats. TELEGRAPHING IN PAC-SIMILE. Where may we expect discoveries in electricty to stop ? An invention, not many removes from one for telegraphing a portrait, is said by the Post to have been made by Mr. Meyer, an official engaged in the French telegraphic service. He has discovered a plan for telegraphing fac-simil e . Th e d eta i ls are no t given, but if what is published is fact, the new system is as wonderful as the electric telegraph itself. There is no transmitter wanted; the sender of the despatch is his own clerk. The message itself does the duty of the interpreter, and controls the elec trical power so as to make it perfectly faithful. " That which the Meyer system gives us is not a copy more or less exact of the message sent to us ; it is the fac-simile of ur correspondent's writing, so that, thanks to tlt.s app,iratus, telegraphic des patches will present, so far as regards exactitude and authenticity, all :the tiin.antees now found in postal communications.' this be not an enigma, and do not refer to some kind of cipher—and there is no reason for thinking . that it does—Mr. Meyer will be among the famous of the future. We are further told that the a pparatus i s a t work on the railway from Paris to Lyons, and the lines from Paris to Marseilles mid from Paris to Bordeaux will soon be Provided with it. THE ALA RAMA CON VEN 7 lON. --s--- (From Me Anglo - American Times.) Mr. SUMNER'S long- announced speech was deli vered in the Senate on the 13th April. It occupied two hours, and was the only one made on the CLA R F.NDON-JOHNSON Treaty. When Mr. SUMNER sat down, Senator after Senator arose, embracing every shade of politics and opinions, to endorse what all considered a luminous exposition of the subject. There is little new in what he advanced, his posi tion being that of an advocate, arguing the question for his client; it therefore gave but one side only, scarcely attempting to show the British view or to answer the British arguments. The treaty, then, was not debated ; it was merely condemned, and Senator SUMNER'S speech published in justification of the unanimous verdict. This, instead of lessen ing, liwo inoronocd ito voluo, for th;o opcuch vou bo safely taken 'by England as expressing the opinion of the American people. Though the position as sumed will be considered in England as extravagant, and un warranted by the facts, the tone in which these extreme demands are made is, as any one who knows Mr. SUMMER might predict, pacific. He hates the task forced on him, which has been none of his seeking, as it leads him to the harsh criti cism of a Foreign Power, with whom be would have more even than peace—moreeven than concord. Instead of removing grievances he considers that the Convention would leave nothing but heartburning. It was a settlement for individual claims only, framed ou a false basis, that of the treaty of 1853, while the essence of the question was in the national injury and insult sustained from England's conduct, for which no recompence or apology was provided. The effect of the signing of the Conventio❑ was to raise Confederate Bonds from nothing to ten, under the impression that the United States would by it hive to redeem them. The case against England was then stated in the terms now so familiar to all, and he wen ton to estiinate. the loss of Americaat about $110,000,000. But this material loss was only a portion of the injury. England's conduct was war, as shown by Mr. COBDEN in the House of Com mons ; the ITLited States paid for th • whole cost of that war upon the national unity which England waged, making the sacrifice of life in suppressing the rebellion beyond compensation, and the cost money over• four thousand million dollars. If tl►rough British intervention the war was doubled in d.iration or extended, then England is respons ible, and whatever may be the final settlement such must be the judgment in any Chancery which con sults the simple equity of the case.

THE DOCKYARD EMIGRANTS. Mr. MONSELL, in reply to Sir IL Verney, said the tax would be r em itt e d i n favour of the emigrants, and - Governor-Gener a l wou ld g i ve all the facilities ppssib''' but nothing whatever would b 3 done to benefit the cleelc" yard artisans at the expense and comfort of others. THE A.BYSSI.NAN WAR. Mr. CANDLISH asked the Chancellor of the Elc he ; quer if he had as cer t a i ne d , an d could now state, the total cost of the war with Ab yss i n i a which will have to b e pall by the United Kingdom ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he had stated what was the sum estimated by Mr. Turner th e Government agent i n India, and that it would be rec ° : lected was £d,800,000 , b ut there would be charges b e dtd not take into account. He had already stated that t "i total he expect e d would be.E8,773,000,a n d f rom ma tters th at had since b ecome k nown, he believed, in the end, that would he pretty nearly the correct amount.
