ZVEW BATHING ESTABLISHMENT AT FOLKES7'ONE. The attractions of Folkestone as a watering place have been materially increased by the opening of a bathing establishment, in the construction of which a lesson has been—only too tardily—taken from our neighbours, and an example, worthy of all com mendation and imitation, set to the rivals of this rising town. That it deserves this appellation may be gathered-from the fact that within a few years the population of Folkestone has increased threefold, and a fishing village of two or three streets has become a flourishing town, comprising spacious and elegant streets, squares, and terraces. Evidences of further and rapid extension are to be seen on all hands —more especially at the " West End," which, however, promises to end only when it has reached the vicinity of Sandgate. During the "season" the number of visitors equals that of the permanent residents. A local " Guide" gives the following statistics as to the rise and progress of Folkestone : "There can be no stronger testimony to the growing importance of a town than that afforded by the increase of its population. When Mated published his " History of Kent" in 1799 there were 450 houses in Folkestone, and 2,000 inhabitants. In 1821 there were 793 houses, and the inhabitants were—males, 1,862 ; females, 2,127 ; making a total of 3,989. 1n 1841 there were 975 houses, and the population was—males, 2,126 ; females, 2,287 ; total, 4,413, including town and parish. In 1851 it amounted to 6,637, and consisted of 3,161 males and 3,476 females, showing an increase of 2,915 ; the number of houses in the township inhabited was 1,400 ; unoccupied, 100 ; giving an increase of upwards of 300 houses. In 1861 the population, according to the census taken in that year, was 8,507, exhibiting probably a greater proportional increase than can be found throughout the king dom." The population now numbers over 12,000, exclusive of the birds of passage and brilliant plumage that flock to Folkestone in summer and fly thence in late autumn. The desirability of erecting a bathing establish ment was frequently mooted, but nothing was practically effected in the matter until Mr. Gardi ner, a local architect, in conjunction with Mr. Harrison, of the firm of Brockman and Harrison, took it in hand. Mr. Gardiner visited the princi pal bathing establishments in France prior to pre paring the plans which he subsequently sub-, mitted, and which were ultimately adopted. It was suggested that a company should be formed, and a capital of £lO,OOO raised in £lOO shares. This suggestion was acted on, and several of the leading residents of Folkestone, with Mr. Gambrill, the then mayor, at their head, formed themselves into a limited liability com pany, of which Mr. Gambrill became chairman. The plans prepared by Mr. Gardiner were ap proved of, and the contract for the erection of the building was taken by Mr. Frances for the engineering work, and by -Messrs. Holdom and Powell for the building. The shares, with the exception of 25, were at once taken in the locality, and have been paid up in full, those unsubscribed for being still available for allotment. The foundation-stone of the building was laid by the mayor, Mr. Gambrill, in September, 1868, in the presence of a number of gentlemen interested in the prosperity of the town. The visitors on the occasion included Baron M. de Rothschild, M.P. ; the ,Lord Chief Baron (Sir Fitzroy Kelly) ; Mr. Lonsdale, the recorder ; Mr. Doridant, the pre sent mayor; Dr. Bowles ; the Rev. Mr. Wood ward, vicar of Folkestone ; Mr. Bateman, 2.P. ; and Dr. Alderson, president of the College of Phy sicians. ln• July last the building—the site of which was admirably chosen—was formally opened to the public. It is in the Italian style, freely treated, and occupies a frontage of 117 ft by a depth of 48ft. On the lower tier, is a large swimming and plunge bath, and also every description of medicated and " invalid" baths. The first floor is devoted to a series of warm and cold baths—at one side for ladies, at the other for gentlemen. The baths are fitted in excellent style, and so con structed that the bather can indulge in sea or fresh water at pleasure. The upper tier has an entrance from the cliff, the house being built on the slop of the hill, and here are situated sub scription and assembly rooms, reading, billiard, and refreshment rooms, which are reserved for subscribers to the ',baths. The assembiy room is frequently used as a ball-room, to which purpose it is admirably suited. One of the features of the establishment is a spacious balcony running the entire breadth of the grand saloon, from which an extensive sea view is ob- tained. It may be mentioned that the annual subscription is 255., for the season of six months 18s., and for lesser periods proportionately low ; while the tariff to non-subscribers for the baths is extremely moderate, notwithstanding that the whole of the bathing arrangements, including the sea-bathing from machines, is under the control of the company. Those who remember " Folkestone as it was" in respect of sea-bathing--and that not very long since—will know the room for improve ment there was in this respect, and the improve ment has been thoroughly effected. New and im proved machines have taken the place of the dingy structures which formerly existed ; order has taken the place of confusion ; and that the results of the transfer of management has been appreciated by the public is shown by the fact that during June, July, and August nearly 20,000 persons have bathed, exclusively of the large numbers who fre quent the "establishment." The returns in both departments exceed the expectations of the com pany, and show that the income for the few months that the company has been in operation is about £5OO in excess of the expen diture. After the manner of the e3tablish ments at the opposite side of the Channel, the company has organised a series of entertain- inents, including balls, which take place each week, and are open to subscribers and their friends; and flower shows, one of which took place on Friday and Saturday last, and attracted a large and fashionable attendance. The show was a great success, and included contributions of exotics and hot-house plants from the con3ervatories of Mr. Mackeson, Sandgate, Mrs. Ellis, of Ewe], near Dover, and numerous other private growers, who sent in roses, dahlias, gladiolas, asters, verbenas, and cut flowers in great variety and of high culti- vation. Prizes to the amount of £7O were offered, and were closely competed for by nurserymen and amateur growers. The band of the 4th King's Own attended each day, and it may be stated that bands of the regiments at Dover and Shorncliffe play on stated days each week. The show took place under marquees on the picturesque lawn in front of the establishment and in the grand saloon. The principal prizes were awarded to Mr. Wood ford, gardener to the Duke of Abercorn, for a choice specimen of the coleus, and for ornamental foliage and other plants ; Mr. Boothroyd, gardener to Mrs. Ellis ; Mr. Peden, gardener to General Sir J. Bligh, K.C.B. ; Mr. Lilley, gardener to the Recorder ; Mr. Fentiman, gardener to Mrs. Hol man ; and Mr. Emerson, gardener to Mr. Macke- son, who sent a large collection of rare plants for the laudable purpose of encouraging floral exhibi tions. Mr. B - any - ard, of Ashford, was a large con tributor ; as was also Mr. Edwards of the Pavilion Hotel. A number of ladies sent in some very ele gant epergnes and bouquets, the principal prizes _ _ _. for which were awarded to the Misses Paull, of Ileden Court, Canterbury ; Miss La Coste, of Fol kestone ; and Mrs. Bunyard, of Ashford. A gra, tifying feature of the show was the contributions of cottagers, consisting principAlly of hardy flower ing:, and window plants, and aho a variety of kitchen gim'en ve,t, , etabl,s and some tempting fruit. The P i 7 -;' ,3 Were (li,tributed by Mr. Julius Thompson, the manager of the establit,hment, the success of which is in no small degree owing to his exertions and administrative capacity. It should be added, that the opening ceremony wal on the invitation of Mr. Doridant, the mayor, attended by the prefet of the Department of Calais, the sub-prefet, the maire of Boulogne, and the chief magistrates of several towns in the vicinity. A similar French invasion took place during the mayoralty of Mr. Gambrill. Thndistinguished visitors found that in whatever capacity they came they were certain of a warm reception ; and they were not slow to re- turn in kind the courtesy - and hospitality which they experienced. THE MURDERS 4YEAR PARIS. Public) interest in the Pantin murders increases now that the names of the victims are certainly known, and those of the assassins grievously suspected. Tho bodies of the murdered family 'have been identified as those of Madame Kinck, who resided at No. 22, Rue de l'Alouette, Roubaix, and her five children : Emile, aged 16 ; Henri, 14 ; Alfred, 8 ; Achilles, 6 ; and Marie, 3. Madame Kinck was a fine, well-looking woman, not more thin 35 years old. They left Roubaix for Paris only on Sunday last, September 19. They were to have come the Sunday before, but were prevented by the youngest child having the dysentery. The name of Jean Kinck, inscribed on the registry of the Hotel du Nord, Rue Denain, in Paris, was not that of the young man who wrote it, but of his father. The young man's own name is Gustave. Jean Kinck, whose principal occupation was that of a turner of brush handles at Roubaix, did a very thriving business there. Besides the house in which he lived he was the proprietor of two or three others in the neighbourhood. Jean Kinck, who, as might bo inferred from his name, is an Alsatian, has property in Alsace, and wishing to devote the entire house he occupied in Roubaix to business purposes, he lately proposed to his wife that she should go with her children to live in Alsace ; but she, a native of Tureoing, objected, because she could not speak a word of German. Something like a quarrel ensued, and upwards of a month ago Jean Kinck and his son Gustave left the house, not, however, as run ning away, but on business, or the pretext of business. About_three weeks ago Madame Kinck very reluctantly, in pursuance of a pressing letter from her husband, drew out a sum of 5,000 francs which was at her disposition in a Roubaix bank, and remitted it to him in .Alsace. Very shortly afterwards the father and son met in Paris. From Paris Jean Kinck wrote to his wife to come `'fns. a matter of importance, saying, " Never mind spending a matter of 300 francs, you will soon make up the sum." On September 19th, as above stated, she came to Paris with her children, and went to the address given her, the Hotel du Nord, kept by Rigny, where she asked for M. Kinck. Gustave Kinck is not the son of the murdered woman, but of her husband by a first marriage. It does not, however, at all appear that jealousy and doubts about the paternity of the younger children had incited the father to join with his son in committing the murders. Neither Jean Kinck nor his son have been heard of since the murder. How it came to pass that Madame Kinck and her children were attracted to the neighbour hood of the spot where they were to be assassinated, and where their graves were already dug, is yet a mystery. An inhabitant of Rainey deposes, that between half-past four and five on Sunday afternoon a lady and five children inquired at the house of M. Fremont, No. 14, Avenue de Chemin de Fer, whether he had velocipedes to let. She wanted two, she said, for her little boys. The witness noticed that they had caps with gold bands. She was told by the grocer that he had no velocipedes, but that the porter at Pavillon de Bondy kept them. She replied that she had already been to him, but that he had none at liberty. The party then went towards the railway station ; and there can be little doubt that they left for Pantin by the train of 7h. 27m. But in the meantime they dined at the restaurant of the rand point of the station, kept by M Dumesnil, who has recognised the bodies. The Pantin station is about 300 yards from the spot where the bodies were found buried in the early morning ; and one of the employes, M. Coulon, says that about midnight he heard cries of men and women. Five other railway clerks, however, who were up all night, say they heard nothing. A watchman of the factory of MM. Cartier, Bressen, and Co., deposes that he saw, by moon light, some people working very hard in the field where the corpses were found up to about four in the morning. It is calculated that the burying cf the bodies must have taken a long time, even for very good workmen. A hackney coachman has given information that on the night of the crime - he successively took a lady and a child, then two children, and a third time two other children, to a spot near Pantin, where somebody was waiting to receive them. It is therefore supposed that the victims must have been murdered separately, and dragged to their graves after they were dead. A great many of the evening papers, sold in the kiosks, exhibit photographs of Madame Kinck and her children, with all the hideous gashes on their faces. The Figaro gives a ground plan of the house, No. 22, Rue d'Alouette, in which they lived at Roubaix. LAW AND POLICE. FRAUDULENT BANKRUPTCY.—At the Central Criminal Court, Edwin Thomas Edgington, a house agent, whose business was said to principally consist in transferring public-houses and coffee-shops, stood indicted on no fewer than twelve counts under various sections of the Bankruptcy Act, for furnishing false accounts and concealing some of his property. The prisoner shortly before his bankruptcy was seen in possession of a largo sum of mency which he failed to shew in his accounts, and it was proved that 1,1:3. Cox, the prisoner's landlady, had a safe and other artislc.; which cu.; ht to have been given up for the ben( fit of creditors She was therefore indicted as an accomplice, and Lelng found guilty, was sentenced to three months' imprisoment with hard labour, whilst Edgington was ordered eighteen months of the same punishment.—ln another case, Robert Wilson Brooks was sent to prison fur four month.; fur fraudulently obtaining goods within three months of his bankruptcy. A YOUNG MAN FROM TEE COUNTRY.—At the Middlesex Sessions, William and Frederick Thompson were indicted for stealing a watch and other articles, worth £4O, from the person of Leonard Spencer. The prosecutor, who resided at Peterborough, having drunk freely, met with a man in Oxford-street, and at his solicitation accompanied him to a public-house, and afterwards they went to the Alhambra, and subsequently adjourned to another place, where the prosecutor paid for beer, after drinking which ho felt drowsy and went to sleep. His new acquaintance put him to bed, and when he awoke he found the articles named in the indictment, missing. The accused, who were well known as card sharpers, were convicted and ordered to be kept in penal servitude for ten years. TILE DIME OF NEwcesTLE.—ln Judges' Chambers, en Friday, before Mr. Justice Willes, the case of Padwick v, the Duke of Newcastle came before his lordship on two summonses taken out by the Sheriff of Middlesex, to vacate a side-bar rule obtained by the Duke of Newcastle calling on him to return the two writs of f. ja. issued by the plaintiff. The Sheriff claimed that the judgments were not satisfied in either case. The Duke's counsel expressed great anxiety to get rid of the man in possession, but Mr. Justice Wines said the law was clear on the sub ject. The plaintiff could make the application as it was his writ, but the defendant could not do so. After some argument on the matter, his lordship promised to hear a special application on the part of the duke before he con cluded the vacation sittings but he could not sustain the side bar rule, and made an order in favour of the sheriff on the present summonses, with costs to him. A MAGISTRATE CHARGED WITH ASSAULT.-At Lichheld, I. day or two since, Mr. Arthur Griffith, one of the partners in the firm of Griffith and Co„ brewers, of Lichfield, and formerly mayor of the town, was charged with assault. A few months ago the firm executed an assignment to trustees, who disposed of the business to the Lichfield Malting Company. The plain tiff, Mr. John Gilbert, was one of the managers of this company, and some unpleasantness arose between him and the defendant, which at last culminated in a quarrel, in the course of which the assault was committed. The defendant was bound over to keep the peace for six months, himself in £5O and two sureties in £25 each. The case excited great interest. WIFE MURDER.—On Friday morning, a journeyman carpenter, named William Smith, was charged with causing the death of his wife, at Hounslow. A quarrel arose through jealousy, and the husband threw her downstairs, killing on the spot. He was remanded. The quarrel took plpce a little before twelve at night in a public house. TRANSMITTING DANGEROUS GOODS DY RAIL.—At South. wark Police-court on Friday, Messrs. Welch and Co., patent waterproof composite manufacturers, of Pentland street, Lion Esplanade, Portsmouth, were summoned by the London and Dighton Railway Company for sending to their railway for transmission to Ports mouth a box containing benzoin, naphtha, and tar, without giving clue notice to the company's servants. The defence was that by mistake full cans had been packed in the box instead of empty ones, but the magistrate thought the defendants were cognisant of the contents of the box, and fined them the full penalty of £2O, as he said an example must be made in such cases The first meeting of the Iron anti Seel Institute at Middlesbro' was conelud,d on Thur,day. After papers had been read en subjects interesting to the members, on the motion of the Duke of Devonshire, who had again presided, a vote of thanks Was passed to the representatives of the North of Englaud iron trade and to the local committees for the cordial reception given to the Institute, and for the suc cessful arrangements made by them for the convenience of the visitors. The Globe of last evening says :—" With refer ence to the statements relative to sales of stores at Wool wich which appeared in our columns of the 15th inst., wo have written to the Secretary of the Admiralty, in reply to his intimation which wo published yesterday, that we aro ready to prosecute the investigation the Woolwich flan' has been invited to make, but which, our readers will well understand, it would be difficult for our to iu WI own INr4011." rtiE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 25, 1869. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. NEW BARON'ETCIES. Mechanical Science is to be honoured in the per. sons of Mr. Whitworth and Mr. William Fairbairn The Times states that baronetcies have been offered to and accepted by these gentlemen. EXTRA PARLIA3IENTARY UTTERANCES. The most important of extra-parliamentary harrangues within the last day or two is that by the Earl of Carnarvon, whom speech we have giver more at length elsewhere. His lordship warm statesmen against heroic remedies ; cries " Caution Caution " ; objects to Mr. Bright's scheme al an imposition of a burden upon the taxpayers passes by as incredible the idea that any confivatory plan will be adopted; and thinks the extension of lease holdings and the institution of tenant right will suf ficiently meet the Irish difficulty. The Buckinghamshire farmers are Conservative. Mr Disraeli may cheer his heart by contemplating the fact. They do not at all like Mr. Lambert, the Liberal M.P. for the county. The members of the Bucks Agricultural Association would not even heal him at their annual dinner. All the speakers com plained that the Cattle Diseases Act was not strict enough. Mr. Lambert had assisted in passin g it They listened to him while prai s i ng th e genera l talent of the House. of Commons, and while he spoke of the union between parties ; but their patience altogether broke down when Mr. Forste r b e c ame th e sn bj ec t , his eulogy ; and the "minority " member wisely sat down. A not much more peaceful - gatherinc , was that of the Staffordshire Agricultural Society, to which the Earl of Lichfield spoke on the land question. Muck disorder was caused by his lordship declaring that the law gave to the landlords in England and Ireland privileges, which, if exercised in England, would im• mediately lead to a cry of injustice. In Ireland these legal rights were daily asserted. The question was whether they should be touched by legislation ; and he hoped the question would be discussed amongst farmers. But let them understand that any law passed for Ireland should also be applied to England. At the same meeting Mr. Bass appealed, to the farmers to use their influence on behalf o*, better cottages for labourers ; and in a second speech Lord Lichfield supported him. THE ELECTION COMMISSIONS. The Commissioners at Bridgwater were investi. gating on Thursday a case of spiritual terrorism ; one which they characterised as "very shocking " and " most atrocious." This is not the first time the facts have been made public : they were commented upon it May 1866 ; but they have never before been brought under judicial notice. The one upon whom the rod of religious chastisement has been used is Mr. Robert Coles, a sawyer, and previously to May 1866 a mem• ber of the Baptist Chapel at Bridgwater. In that year there was an election petition investigated by committee of the House of Commons. Mr. Colet gave evidence in favour of the Conservatives. He had previously voted Conservative, and by so doing had given great offence to a Mr. Sully a deacon of the chapel. On his return from London Mr. Coles was waited upon by Mr. Sully, and requested to attend a private meeting. Coles complied, and was that evening charged with having committed perjury in London. The proof was plain : Mr. Sully hail had 5 conversation with a gentleman, who stated, upon the in formation of another gentleman, that Mr.Coles "looked' like a perjurer in court when giving his evidence. Mr. Coles denied the charge, but a Church meeting was held next day, and he was expelled. Will it be believed that the letter expelling him quoted as proof positive of his guilt the fact that a gentleman standing near a shorthand writer had in the said shorthand writer's hearing used the words, " From his manlier I can see he is not telling the truth ? Now Mr. Sully was examined by the Commission. ers ; his evidence did not agree with that of others ; and when he found it did not, he tried to qualify it, causing Mr. Anstey to exclaim, " Your evidence is perfectly false." What will the Baptist Church do with the good deacon. Mr. Sully ? The inquiry at Beverley amazes us with the stories of various sums of sent without instruction by candidates and members in quiet times to prepare foi coming elections. Mr. Wreghit, the Conservative bribing agent, appears to have been able to get money whenever he wanted it by the merest hint. "Money down—no inquiries made "—was the motto midi both principals and their agents. TUE IRISH LAND QUESTION. The Special Commissioner o the Times has made a circuit from Mullingar to Trim in order to examine the country. Though the county of . , *path has advanced like every other part of Irelanesinco .the social revolution of 1846, the advance has been less than might have been expected. It has im proved more slowly during the last two decades than any of the adjoining counties with which it may be fitly compared. . 'This slowness of progress coincides with an extraordinary decrease of population. The number of inhabitants in Meath has been reduced at the rate of 82 per cont. The social economy of the county is described as being , in the highest degree interesting. There being little tillage, the demand for agricultural labour is small, and the labourers are in consequence very poor. Their wages vary from ss. to Os. per week, and even at that rate are not constant. Rent varies from £4 to 168. per Irish acre. Farms in Meath differ greatly in extent—from immense grazing tracts of 2,000 and 3,000 acres to small patches of three or four. Tho la De farmers, speaking generally, are wealthy, but the small t ' ones are evidently badly off. Their dwellings are in many places mud cabins, often without a chimney. They complain exceedingly of the want of fuel. Their dress and appearance are squalid and mean. The landed system of Meath the Commissioner regards as being possessed of features distinguishing it broadly from the landed system of any of the other counties he has seen. Almost an eighth of the soil is owned by Roman Catholic gentlemen of ancient lineage, and their estates are usually centres of ordelb aid content. But, though the circumstances of sever ?al estates in Meath are of this happy character, the landed system of the county, as a whole, presents some painful, though instructive features. A consi derable and increasing number of landlords keep largo tracts of pasture in their own hands, and farm them on their own account; the whole of the remaining good grass-lands is in the possession of substantial farmers ; and so the poor peasantry are relegated to the inferior soils. The result is a most marked contrast boo tween agricultural wealth and poverty, and a peculiar spirit of discontent pervades the county. The poorer classes, forced off from the soil by the operation of influences they cannot comprehend, and often pinched by distress and want, feel angry and jealous of the rich. Lawlessness and outrages have been com mon in the county. More than one attempt at assassination has been made ! and the Commis sioner was shewn a whole mass of threatening letters which not only had reference to the taking of land, but to the dismissal of farm servants and the reduc tion of the rate of wages. The spirit that animates these misdeeds, though essentially of an agrarian kind, is said to be not purely agrarian ; it is not equally sustained by a . principle ; it is not so systematic in its objects ; it is more akin to hatred of pro perty and dislike of existing social arrangements. Though not common in th e coun ty, the practice of elling the goodwills of farms prevails in spots along s northern border where it comes w ithi n th e fluence of Ulster. Though the practice is objec tionable in the abstract it works well on the whole, in the opinion of the Commissioner, in the critical state of the Irish land system, as it has a tendency to quiet possession. At all events, the practice exists, and has grown into custom, over an area of not incon siderable extent, even in the midland counties of Ire land ; and, since this is so, it is high time for Parlia ment to examine the real nature of the relations con stituted in this way, and of the legitimate rights that flow from them. An '_lrish tenant who on estates where the usage exists gives perhaps £2O an acre for goodwill acquires nothing in point of law except the interest of the seller, a mere tenancy at *ill, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred; though the landlord must on the hypothesis acquiesce, and though be usually encourages the purchase as he obtains thereby payment of arrears and a guarantee for the future rent. "In point of fact, however, the purchasing tenant considers justly that he has bought a real though indefinite estate in the land, equivalent in some degree to his outlay ; and usage sanctions the supposition, for few landlords would think of violete ing the tenant-right that had thus been paid for, and in these instances fixity of tenure, as a rule, is esta blished by contract. Nevertheless, cases occasionally arise in which needy or unprincipled men will turn law against the unprotected custom, and extinguish the rights that have thus been created." The Legis lature, the Commissioner urges, must put an end to the conflict existing between law and fact, and compel the bad landlord to do by law what the good land lord does from respect for usage. litlM CHURCH SYNOD. The Synod of the united dioceses of Cork, Olovno, rind. Ross, held at Cork on Thursday, was larg' elv attended Ly the laity, and a resolution was adopted to the eflict that the bishops and clergy and laity should vote independently in General Synod. In seconding the resolution, 'i - ice-Chancellor Chatterton deplored the prevalence of the idea that the laity were in danger of being overridden by the clergy, and considered it a paramount obligation of the laity to acknowledge the clergy as spiritual guides. LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANIES. In connection with the failure of the Eurole an Life Assurance Company, the monetary editor of the Daily News makes a 'nowt remarkable statement. It is to the effect that a dead set is likely to be made against several other offices, the posi tion of which in public estimation renders them likely to succumb to attack. In former days the harpies who prey upon joint-stock coraDAkigo used to wake picnev lay_.±kroulotike seem ; tne large picitings twitted - irom -*. promotion money," the sale of concessions, &c., having latterly been summarily terminated, it is now found that wrecking is the next best path to profits. Our contem porary points out that where an office can be proved to be absolutely rotten, it is an act of charity to expose its hollowness ; but it is well that public opinion should b 3 aroused in condemnation of vexatious proceedings, instigated for merely selfish motives for winding up. The directors of the - company have issued an adver tisement, earnestly requesting the policy and share holders not to be alarmed at any of the reports which may appear at the present moment, "as they are advisedly, and in full assurance of its sound position, determined to oppose to the utmost the unwarrantable attempts to ruin the society." UNIVERSITY APPOINTMENT. The Rev. Canon Slingsby will be succeeded in the chair of Modern History at Cambridge by Mr. John R. Seeley, Fellow of Christ College, Cambridge, and Professor of Latin at the University College, London. Mr. Seeley graduated in 1867, when ho was Senior Chancellor's Medallist, and bracketed senior classic with three others. ANTI-FREE TRADE MOVEMENT. The Trades of Great Britain Defence AssOciation held a public meeting on Thursday night to take into consideration the present critical state of the country, the depression of trade, and the general want of employment consequent on the importation of foreign manufactured goods, and to agree to a petition to bo presented to the next session of Parliament for a commission of inquiry as to the working of our com mercial policy. The point chiefly sought to be esta blished by the various speakers was that the result of the experience of Free Trade proved that it was seriously damaging to the working classes of this country. A. resolution was pro posed to the effect that Free Trade should be based upon the equality of international exchanges; that as other countries had not adopted the principle, it had become injurious to England, and was the cause of the present depression in trade, the want of employment, and the increase of pauperism. Govern ment, therefore, ought to institute immediate inquiry into the-working of our commercial policy, with the view of ascertaining how far unreciprocated free trade contributes towards producing this depression, and to what extent it .may be limited, so as to pro duce an effective remedy. This resolution had, however, to give way to an amendment which enunciated the fact that the great distress and want of employment existing among the working classes require a more speedy remedy than an inquiry at the hands of a committee of the House of Commons. THE woniuma MEN'S CONGRESS. The delegates who were sent from this country to the International Working Men's Congress at Basle have met their constituents, and given in their re ports. On the whole, they regard the Congress as a success. The number of delegates was larger than at any former ono, and the gathering was essentially representative. The 'delegates • had freely mingled with one another, and addressed each other as representatives of labour, not as bearers of national distinctions. One of the delegates complained that too much time had been wasted in reading long reports, and complained that some of the reporters had incorrectly stated that the discussions sometimes lapsed into noisy wrangles. It was agreed by all that the moral influence of the Congress . had been great. LAY HELP. The subject of lay help in the Church has been dis- cussed by the Archbishop of Canterbury and a num ber of clerics assembled at Sittingbourne. His grace pointed out how important a branch of the subject it was to know ho'i to deal with those who were not decided members of the Church of England. The clergy had been very much in the habit of ignoring the existence of any but themselves; and to some extent the whole Legislature had done this. But now the existence of others was very dis tinctly recognised by the Legislature in a thousand ways. The Archbishop would, he said, be extremely sorry if the idea were to get abroad, that they were to take their position like other sects in the country and that they were to receive only those who distinctly declared that, after weighing the matte; they preferred the Church of England above any other body.. No doubt these were the persons who were their real strength ; but he should be sorry to exclude persons who hang loose to the Church, and who might by any action of the clergy be sent off into any other body. It would be well to cast their lines as broadly as possible and take in all they possibly could. EUROPEAN EMIGRATION. Professor Goldwin Smith calls attention in the columns of the Beehive to a guide-book for emigrants which the American Social Science Association has undertaken to prepare. Compiled by competent members of the Association, the work will contain in concise form all desirable information in regard to the cost and *best time and mode of crossing the Atlantic ; the relative advantages of landing in dif ferent ports ; the organic and statute laws of the Union and the several States; the philanthropic pro visions in America for the benefit of emigrants; the cost of living ; the chances of finding employ ment and the rate of wages in the States ; the expense of reaching the interior ; the material and other inducementsleld out to the various classes of emigrants in the different sections of the country—in short, whatever may serve best to instruct and guide those who vi s it th e St a t es to better their fortunes. The plan of the association will first be carried out in reference to emigrati on . from Great Britain ; will then be extended to emi gration froth other European countries, particularly Germany. The work in question, Professor Goldwin Smith believes, will be well executed, and it will possess the great advantage of being entirely neutral and impartial in its character.

The apprehension which the coming high tide awakens seems difficult to allay, notwithstanding the statement of the Astronomer Royal that there is really nothing to fear. The highest tides this year, a contemporary states, have been at the end of February, at the beginning and end of March, and on the Bth of the present month; and the maximum height, which occurred on March 29th, was 21ft. 9in. The calculated rise on the 7th October next is one inch greater than that on March 29 ; and this, it should be observed, implies only half an inch greater absolute height, as the level of the water when low will sink half an inch under the low water mark of that day. So far as the flood of the 7th depends on the proximity of the moon to the equator, there is not the smallest cause for anxiety. IFDREIGN NOTES. EDUCATION IN PIZANCR. The Prefet of the Department of Calvadoi his Malt* a report on the subject of elementary education, and chews the obstacles that exist in the way of steady attendance at the elementary schools. The parents dislike to send their children to those schools where boys and girls are taught together, but it would entail extra expense to have them in separate schools. The French Government is very nig gardly in the matter of education, and has been accused of wishing to cut a farthing into quarters for the purpose of making money go farther in this respect. The Prefet also considers that the gratuitous system militates against the success of these schools. The population of the country would be more energetic if they had to pay for the education of their children, and might estimate the value of instruction more highly. The teachers of theie schools are miserably paid, and - after a service of thirty or forty years they sometimes receive a pension not exceed ing fifty francs a year. RETURN OF THE FRENCH NATIONAL GUARDS The detachment of the French National Guards, whiob has been so well received by the people of Liege, has been recalled to Paris, and has thus been unable to accept the King's invitation to Brussels. The Guards passed throughthe Belgian capital on their return to Paris, and were most cordially received. The burgomaster and the civic autho thorities awaited their arrival at the Hotel de Ville, and expressed the satisfaction they felt in meeting them on that occasion. The French Commander returned a suitable reply, and the greatest enthusiasm pre vailed among the spectators. In tho evening the French Ambassador gave a grand dinner in honour of the occasion; the Belgian Ministers were present, and the officers of the French National Guard. The Guards' band performed during the repast ; at eleven o'clock the French National Guard took its departure amid enthusiastic cheers. Tun PRUSSO-BADEN QUESTION. The French papers are much interested in the discussion of the Baden question, and speculate upon the probability of that province being joine Ito Prussia. Despatches from Berlin state that great astonishment has been produced in that city by the rumours that prevailed in Paris respecting the annexation of the grand duchy. The Cons! itutio2znel declares that the Prussian journals themselves began the controversy by intimating that some inhabitants of Carlsruhe intended to effect the entry of Baden into the Northern Confederation In reality there is little difference between annexation and union, but one sounds better than the other. The French journals naturally made some comments on the affair, and hence the subject assumed an undue importance. It is worthy of notice that the Prussian Government does not deny the truth of the statements of the Gazette de Magde burg and the Gazette Nationale de Berlin concerning the entrance of Baden into the Northern Confederation. Had such a contradiction been given, it would have disposed of the question far more effectually than the partial denial which has appeared in official quarters, THE VOLUNTEERS OF LIBERTY IN MADRID. The volunteers in Madrid aro in a very matisfactory condition. They are irritated at the affair of their expul sion from the Principal, and they are displeased with their commander, Senor Rivero. Many ofh.lers have resigned, and the Igiculdad contains some severe criticisms on his conduct. Senor Rivero has given great offence by directing his subordinates to study the penal code; as if they did not comprehend their duties as citizens; and the journal in question reminds him that ho is a popular authority, invested with transitory power, and that he has abused the power entrusted to him. AFFAIRS IN JAPAN, Accounts received respecting the late outbreak in Japan state that the insurgents were abetted by several French officers, who were captured at ITA dadi and delivered up to the French Admiral. The rebels fought bravely, and when they found their case hopeless, they ran their ships ashore and set fire to them. The authority of the GOvern ment is now re-established throughout the whole of the Mikado's dominions. The war is said to have been owing to the anger of the Tokugawa clan at the displacement of their chief, Stotsbashi, the 'Tycoon. The - Tycoon was the representative of the Daimios, and when our vessels first visited Japan, he was believed to be the head authority of the State. In reality he was only the delegate of the Daimics or great princes, such as Satsuma, whose name was once familiar to English readers in connection with the bombardment of his strong hold by English men-of-war. These Daimios, becoming jealous of the Tycoon, combined and overthrew him, a manoeuvre which greatly irritated the Tokugawa clan, of which he was chief. Their disaffection was fostered by some French officers, and last year they attempted to proclaim the independence of the Island of Yesso, which belongs to Stotsbashi. The French officers took up their abode in Yesso, which was strongly fortified, and during the winter the rebels retained possession. The Mikado's forces have now carried all the strongholds, some of which, such as Hakodadi, were sufficiently formidable. The Frenchmen were captured, and the French Admird could only obtain their release by a threat of bombard ment. Stotsbashi, the late Tycoon, did not, strange to say, take part with his clan, and has been recalled from his retirement. THE STEAMER HORNET. The steamer Hornet has been released by the authorities at Halifax, nothing being found to warrant her detention. It will be remembered that the Hornet was seized on suspi• cion of being a Cuban filibuster, and one of her sailors gave information that she was loaded with arms under her cargo of coals. In consequence of this the authorities deter mined to have her unloaded, despite the protest of her captain, but no arms or ammunition were discovered. The Hornet is therefore at liberty; but it is still believed that she is intended for Cuba, and will take her arms on board when at sea. Nearly all the vessels of the American navy aro getting ready for sea—a fact which encourages the supposition that active interference in Cuba is in contem plation. (From the Anglo-American Times.) The economical policy of the Fortieth Congress, honestly administered, has produced surprising re sults. In 1862 the Government expended, as shown by the warrant books of the Treasury De partment, $570,800,000. I❑ 1865, $1,900,000,000, the largest annual outlay ever known in America. In 1868 this dropped to $1,700,000,000, while for the year ending June 30, 1869, the amount was $585,000,000, bringing the expenditure to within a small sum of what it was in 1862. The War De partment expended on the military branch $80,500,000 last year, while for the previous year the sum was $120,000,000, and for the Navy $23,500,000, against $30,000,000 during the preced ing year. The Treasury Department proper costs more by $9,000,000, while the interior Department has risen from twenty-eight to thirty-six millions. Captain Shaw, of the London Fire Brigade, has returned from his tour in the United States. He has been everywhere well received, especially at Philadelphia, a committee of the fire companies of that city meeting him at the railway station. Everything connected with the department worth seeing was shown. He was " dined" sumptuously, a mini,,ture steam-engine pumping out the cham pagne. Captain Shaw, in returning thanks, said he did not think the Philadelphia Department ex celled that of London save in point of numbers, and concluded with the following advice :—" As long as you can enforce discipline in your volunteer de partment you can make it effective ; without it you cannot." The whole force—some 45 steam engines and innumerable hook-and-ladder companies, mus tering upwards of 3,000 volunteers, and thousands • of followers—were reviewed at four o'clock the following morning. General Prim and Senor Silvela, Minister for Foreign Affairs, have returned to Madrid. The proposal of the Duke of Genoa for the throne of Spain has, it is rumoured, failed, and his Majesty of Portugal then came on the tarn. He was said to be about to abdicate In order to accept the Spanish crown, and that dur ing the minority of the Crown Prince of Portugal Don Fernando would act as Regent, but according to the latest rumours his candidature also has failed. When the Cortes reassembles the Government will introduce a bill to provide for the better preserva tion of public order, and it is said that that body will also discuss the choice of a candidate for the throne, some asserting that it will elect the King of Portugal. Prince Arthur was cordially welcomed at Mon treal on Saturday, at Toronto on Monday, and visited the Industrial Exhibition at London, Canada, on Wednesday. The American press continues to pub lish articles urging his Royal Highness to pay a visit to the United States. Advices received from Japan, via San Francisco, state that his Royal Highness the Duke of Edin burgh arrived at Jeddo on the 29th of August. Some of the principal Japanese priests are memo rialising the Government to oppose Christianity. The Austrian Embassy to China arrived at Pekin on the 14th of August. The only other telegrams from America are that a Cabinet Council was held yesterday specially to consider Cuban affairs, the members having all assembled at Washington. President Grant was expected at the White House last Wednesday. A telegram of Thursday evening says—The vio lent fluctuations in gold have unsettled values and caused a partial suspension of business generally. The rise of gold is owing to the continued opera tions of the bull clique. Exchange on London is nominally quoted 104. Notwithstanding the feverish state of the New York Money Market, and the great speculative combinations to affect values, business was gene rally active, a sound and profitable trade being re ported on the departure of the mail. In dry goods this was stimulated by the cold weather, which in duced large purchaiers of woollen and flannel goods, especially .of the finer imported descriptions, in which an Active traffic in America is sure to re-act favourably on England.. The returning prosperity of the Southerners is being felt beneficially in New York business. There have lately been numerous agents purchasing largely for the South, who appear to be well supplied with funds. The news from Paraguay tells of the final defeat of Lopez, at least so it is proclaimed, although the Dictator has survived many final defeats. Count d'Eu, with the Allied Army, appears to have at tacked his position, taking Ascurra, Lopez and Mrs. Lynch being compelled to seek safety in flight. Gen. Mena Barret() was dead, and 1,500 Paragua yans were placed hors de combat. Great excitement prevailed in Buenos Ayres and Monte Video, and there were general illuminations in Rio, as this was believed to be end of the war. The Paraguayan Provisional Government bad been formally in stalled. Senator A. S. G iljo, with the Minister Paranlios and Dr. Verez, _were to leave on the 25th for Rio. Bad we been asked to name a weekly paper in England,to support Mr. Burlingame's China policy, we would have answered, the Spectator, believing it to be based on the broad principles of interna tional justice, involving the protection of the weak against the tyranny of the strong. Had we been asked to name a weekly in America likely to sup port that policy, we would have named the Nation, for the same reasons. Yet these are the two papers conspicuous for their opposition. We grant that we are giving no small assurance in saying this, that our own view of the question is wrong, nevertheless we hold to it ; seeing no reason, from what we have read in these papers, to change our opinion. The policy of treating China on a footing of equality may be an error, and it may be necessary to revert to the old British systein ; but even were all the chances to b© in favour of such an end, we would still desire to see it given a full and fair trial. The most disastrous gale ever known in the New England States occurred on the afternoon of Sep tember 8. In Boston alone the damage is esti mated at $1,000,000, the Coliseum being among the ruined buildings. All the coast towns suffered severely, the aggregate of destruction being im mense. For two days no telegraph messages could be despatched, as the poles which supported the wires were blown down for miles. The gale was particularly severe in Rhode Island, where several lives were lost, about 100 buildings being unroofed in Providence, and the Hartford Railroad depot demolished; the Oriental Mill was unroofed, the Chestnut-street Church steeple blown down, as were nearly all the other steeples, and also Ross and Walker's tannery. In Maine several vessels have been wrecked, fifteen being ashore between Cape Porpoise and Portland. The Marine Hospital at Portland had one-third its roof blown off, and the fog-bell at Portland head light was blown into the sea. A discussion is being carried on between the Nation and the Springfield Republican, touching a letter of introduction alleged by the former to have been addressed by Mr. Sumner to Mr. John Bright for Mr Reverdy Johnson when he went as Minister to England last autumn. The Republican denies that such a letter was written, whereupon the Nation states that it was not a mere letter of in troduction, but what was far more valuable— " A long letter by mail, speaking of Mr. Johnson in the highest terms, calling attention to his unanimous confir mation by the Senate ; assuring Mr. Bright that he had the confidence and esteem of all parties; that ho was abun dantly competent to settle the 21 / a bamaquestion, and would, in Mr. Sumner's opinion, settle it. Tho warmth of the eulogy was so great, in fact, that Mr. Bright was anxious to hurry up to London at once, to see this remarkable man ; but, being unable to do so, wrote to Mr. Johnson to apologise, and inserted in his letter an extract from Mr. Sumner's, in order to show him (Mr. Johnsen) what a high place he occupied in the opinion even of political oppo nents. Moreover, after the treaty arrived here, Mr. Sum ner, on the 17th of January last, wrote to Mr. Bright com mending it, and on the 19th, after dining with Grant, added a postscript, with even a stronger commendation, thus confirming the confidence of the British Cabinet in Mr. Johnson. The subsequent speech, therefore, was to Mr Bright and others a painful surprise." The Nation then goes on to allude to Mr. Sumner's interview with the New York Herald's correspondent, in which Mr. Sumner laid down the extraordinary doctrine that the British Cabinet ought not to have negotiated with the Ambassador of a retiring Ad ministration—the thought even suggesting itself of calling Mr. Thornton's attention to the subject. Considering that the performance was that of the Chairman of the Senate's Committee on Foreign Affairs, if it be not a fit subject for comment in the newspapers, the Nation can hardly see what duties the press has. A meeting composed of citizens of nearly every State of the Union was held at the City Hall, Wash ington, Sept. 3, to elect a committee and to take other steps towards holding a World's Fair in Washington during the year 1871. A second meet ing was to be held a few days after to get up a per manent organization. The gentlemen elected to serve on the committee were :—Messrs. M. W. Corcoran, 11. D. Cooke, George M. Riggs, W. S. Huntington, Moses Kelley, Alexander R. Shep pard, C. S. Noyes, William B. Todd, James Y. Davis, Henry Polkingliam, and sixty-five others. It is evident that Washington does not intend to throw up the sponge to any city in the West, but, replies to the agitation for the removal of the National Capital by an invitation to the World to hold there a Fair. Mr. Charles S. P. Bowles, an American banker travelling in Europe, wrote to Secretary Boutwell on the national debt and his financial policy as re gards Europe. He recommends bonds of thirty years at four per cent. paid in gold, and guaranteed to be exempt from any tax whatever, and he be ieves that the Conservative class of investors would be attracted who have hitherto been frightened away by the high rate of interest, which to them is the strongest indication of bad security. We have much pleasure in reproducing the following remarks from the pen of Mr. Bowles, while dissenting from them in some degree. Whether bad or good policy, we have seldom heard the right disputed of the United States Government to levy on the foreign bondholders the income tax paid in the country. The case differs widely from such debts as that due from Austria to England, where the foreign country raised in the Lon don market a sterling loan, and then proceeded to levy a special tax on the income, which was not merely a breach of faith, but a downright robbery. The United States Government raised no loan abroad, and has the power to tax income as Congress decrees, while the property in the bond can have no right to escape simply by being taken out of the country by a foreign holder, who sends the coupon back to it for payment "It seems incredible that anything so fallacious and mischievous could gain a hearing. Ii is only by thus 4:treating doubts of our good faith that our National pro gress can be checked. To find in a country men of high position proposing to partially nullify an honest obliga tion would alarm any ono who did not understand the de- magogues to whom our peculiar institutions give birth. Every $5O or $lOO bond of the United States held by a foreigner makes of that holder an ally and an added strength. He becomes an agent for the enlightenment of his circles and for the encouragement of emigration to our country. Shall we, then, in petty pursuit of a few evad- ing taxpayers, nullify our obligations, thereby discourag ing the hopes and destroying the confidence of our Euro pean friends, by taxing indiscriminately with these eva ders our allies and future immigrants ?" Roll of Honour 18 has been issued, containing the names of Federal soldiers interred in 16 national cemeteries, besides local cemeteries and military posts. The volume embraces the names of 22,900 Union soldiers, 11,530 being unknown. Many had been buried hurriedly at insolated spots with only temporary marks or none at all, and frequently the ground fell into the hands of the Confederates. Vol. 19 has also been issued, giving the names of those interred in seven national cemeteries and various posts. 17,453 Union soldiers are there recorded ; the remains of 63,847 have been removed from 295 different localities to 23 national cemeteries. The 18th volume brings the number of graves recorded in printed form to about 193,000. Of the occu- pants about 120,000 are known and 73,000 un known. There yet remain to be printed the names of about 120,000 soldiers and prisoners of war, an aggregate of 305,000 graves; of the occupants nothing at least of 100,000 will ever be known. The Hon. David A. Wells has replied to the letter of the American Consul at Liverpool on the subject of the extinction of the National Debt of 'the United States. Mr. Wells, late Special Commis sioner of the Treasury to Europe, has been remark ably accurate in the calculations by which he anti cipates the probable receipts and expenditures, and therefore his opinions perhaps carry as much weight as those of any man in the United S tates. He says that $100,000,000, bearing interest at 6 per cent. yearly, carried to a sinking fund, would extinguish the debt in fifteen years ; but should the contribution be limited by law, as now, to one per cent. of the entire debt annually, that is, $50,000,000, bearing 6 per cent. interest, the debt would be extinguished in twenty-three years. Between these periods he con siders the redemption will be complete. The excess of the income over the expenditure for the year was $48,000,000 ; eighteen millions of what would otherwise have been surplus was drawn by the Pen sion Bureau, and nine millions and a half, if the gold be turned into currency, was paid for Alaska. These, being extraordinary items, may be calcu . [ated in the surplus of the current year, and to it may be added some thirty millions gained by the retrenchments of the present Administration, and fifteen millions from the growth of wealth in the couutry. Such sums would place at the disposal of the Government for the redemption of the debt ully $120,000,000; and his calculation therefore • would leave a sufficient margin to meet ordinary oc currences and unexpected incidents. A party of men in a carriage, about noon on the Gth inst., drove to Keenan's liquor shop in Philadel- phia, and asked where was Brooks. Being present, James J. Brooks answered he was the man, and the reply was a shot from a revolver, which, pass ing through his lungs, mortally wounded him. The party then re-entered the carriage, and drove furi ously off to Fairmount Park, where all clue was lost. A reward of $5,000 bas been offered by Com- missioner Delano for the arrest of the assassinot which Mayor Fox of Philadelphia supplemented with another thousand. As Brooks was still alive, his ante-mortem declaration was taken, and several persons arrested thereon, Keenan, the proprietor of the store, being one. The following was the evi dence elicited :—John Stockton, liquor dealer, was heard, three weeks ago, to say that he knew when and where Brooks would be shot. Thomas Aiken, clitectly after the shooting affair, left his revolvers directed to Stockton, in the store near by Keenan's/ where Brooks was shot, and be was heard to say lie was glad Brooks had been shot. Robert Hamilton, of notoriously bad character in the city, was partially identified as the man who drove the assassins away in the cab, and he was positively identified as having been in that vicinity with a cab shortly be fore the shooting. It was also proved that be had shaved off his moustache the previous morning.. This case excites a lively interest, as Brooks, wild° in the exercise of his duty as a Revenue officer, was murdered at mid-day, in the midst of a great and orderly city, the assassins escaping. 711 E AU7 UMN HANDICAPS.
