The responsibility now lies with the Lords—the Irish Church Bill having been read a third time and passed through the House of Commons, after a divi sion giving a clear majority of 114 to the Govern ment. No measure has ever passed through the House of Commons more triumphantly. No Cabi net has ever been supported by a larger majority, or by one more united or more enthusiastic. It is idle to talk, as Lord ELCIIO did yesterday, of its policy in regard to the Irish Church being carried through the House of Commons by B,ooo,ooo—that is, by 5,000,000 Irish and by 3,000,000 Scotch—as opposed to 20,000,000 English. The Ministerial policy has succeeded in the popular branch of the Legislature, because that policy, as foreshowed in the Suspensory Bill, had been previously submitted to the deliberate judgment of the electors of the United Kingdom. Upon it the whole mass of the constitu encies pronounced their opinion as formally as they have certainly pronounced it emphatically. So em phatically are they found to have pronounced it that upon the third reading of the Bill, which directly emanated from the one question submitted at the last General Election to the con sideration of the posessors of the franchise, the clear majority has been as we have now seen, and as we have jest said, 111 out of a Ilowe of G13,- the four Tellers and the Speaker included. And Ls Mr. GLADSTONE well said towards the conclusion of the debate which preceded the livision, if all the Catholic members of the House were to pass out into the lobby before that division was taken, the majority still left would be very con -i,lerable indeed. The decision of the Ilouse in this etatter is the decision of the country. And certainly to decision could by po,sibility have been arrived at oore opc: ly or wiih a greater amount of clelibera ion. With the ,Hereditary Branch of the Legisla trtre it now rests whither the verdict of the whole country, as expressed through the overwhelming majority of the house of Commons, shall be earried into execution. Supposing, for the sake of r . T — laie , r ) t 7 the Peers were to reject the bi l l , they ! . could deliberately therei. , y be placing themselves in Erect antagonism to the Housecf Commons and to ~ he great mass of the population. That hostility on the part of the Lords could only be dealt with in one of two ways—either by another, an obviously prema ture and a wholly superfluous, appeal to tile country, or by swamping the House of Peers, as Lord Gino THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY " EVENING, JUNE 1, 1E69. once threatened to swamp it, by the creation of a large number of Liberal Lords so as to turn the balance of parties in the Upper house in favour of the existing Government. From any such formidable alternative as that, the Conservative leaders may well shrink back aghast. In either case the influence of the Upper House would be at once in a very great measure destroyed. Its very exis tence, as an active political institution, would be se riously jeopardised. A General Election neces sitated within a year from the date of the last, and necessitated by reason of the rejection by the Lords of that Irish Church Bill which the re cently erected House of Commons had passed through all its stages so triumphantly—a General Election thus caused and thus precipitated would excite a flame of indignation against the House of Lords, such as would hazard a permanent estrange ment between the peerage and the people. It would shake to its very foundations the whole fabric of our curiously mixed, and hitherto admirably well adjusted, and to this moment exquisitely balanced constitution. Hardly less mischievous results, we cannot but think, would accrue from any wholesale creation of peers by a Great Party Leader simply with a view to press upon the acceptance of the Upper House of Parli anent the otherwise moat unacceptable policy of the actual Government. From neither proceeding must the chiefs of party upon both sides but shrink back with the greatest possible reluctance. The wish of reta liation—that would inevitably be run by the Conser vative majority of the House of Lords in the event of their throwing out the Bill in defiance of the clearly expressed pinions in its favour of the House of Commons and of the whole country, is altogether too co4derable% to bo overlooked, is altogether too f6rmidable of its kind not to exer cise a wholesome influence in tempering the decision now immediately to be ar rived at. Our conviction is that the House of Peers will patriotically evidence the full appreciation by their lordships of the momentous character of the present political situation—and that they will do this by manfully protesting, if they so please, against the policy involved in the great measure now coming before them, after having been tirtumpbantly carried through the House of Commons, but by bowing to the decision of the country, now that in direct support of the Ministerial policy in this matter that decision of the whole country has been thus emphatically and de liberately pronounced. We have no more doubt as to the virtual though of course reluctant accepta tion of this measure of the Irish Church Bill by the House of Lords, thin we have of the utterance after wards as evidence of the Royal assent by those magical words, la Regne le reveult 1 y which the 13i1 will be eventual!) transformed into an Act of Parlia ment. THE Orangemen were in great force at Chester field house on Saturday. But Lord CAIRNS, says an Orange paper, was " conspicuous by his absence." This fact is very significant, and must be very dis couraging to the Orangemen. Lord CAIRNS was selected by Mr. DISRAELI as Lord Chancellor, vice Lord CHELMSFORD deposed, and leader of the House of Lords, vice Lord MALMESBURY likewise deposed. It is understood that he has just been to Ireland, and has had interviews with Arch bishop TRENCH and Sir JOSEPH NAPIER, the most distinguished clerical and the most distinguished lay member of the Irish Church, in the hope of inducing them to abandon the " No Surrender" standard and come to terms. It would seem as if the ex- Chancellor had not been particularly successful. It is only on this supposition that we can explain his absence from the meeting at which five deputations attended to represent inter alias 80,000 of his old friends and electors at Belfast. Lord CAIRNS wishes to be Lord Chancellor again, knows very well that he has no more chance of grasping the great seal a second time than the most pettifogging country attorney has, so long as the Irish ,Church question remains unsettled, and, therefore, naturally enough refuses to sanction in any way the policy which would be fatal alike to his party, his prospects, and the whole House of Lords. We imagine that this circumstance alone sntli ciently indicates the intention of the Peers not to reject, or to seriously modify, the Irish Church Bill. This supposition is confirmed by the fact that the Times, which rarely recommends a course until sure that such a coursehas been determined upon, strongly advises the Upper House not to fly in the face of the nation, but to protest against the bill and then pass it. Certainly there was nothing in the Duke of ADERCORN'S reply to the deputations which could lead them to hope for any other result. Their arguments against the bill, however cogent, however unanswerable, had no novelty, hadall been urged pre av at o t u h sl y in P e general Parliament li am election, t last an d session, nw before onee m t o he re n i n a t t i o h i e i House of Commons. All have been useless ; the nation and its representative body have decided that the pleas have no force, and that justice must not be arrested. Moreover, the Orangemen have taken a singularly ill-timed step in attempting to bully the Government by the threat of repealing the Union. They have thereby not only shewn that their loyalty is conditional upon their ascendancy, but they have forced upon the Government an arith metical calculation whereof the quotient is not at all likely to prove advantageous to Orange ism. If, on the one hand, the loyalty of the Protestants is de pendent upon the ascendancy of that party, and if, on the other hand, the loyalty of the Romanists is dependent upon the termination of that asctmlancy, Government may well be par doned if they prefer to secure the 41 millions instead of the three-quarters of a million. The Orangemen might have gained a point if they had appealed to their unshaken adherence to the Crown and their English connection. But when they began to threaten they surrendered a most powerful position, and entered into a competition in which (it is to their credit) they are sure to be miserably beaten. Belfast and Londonderry cannot vie with Cork and Limerick in treason. It is a thousand pities that they ever attempted to do so. SiMuLTANEOUSLY with the arrival in England of Mr. REVERDY JOHNSON'S successor, Mr. PEABODY, foremost amongst wealthy philanthropists, leaves the country which owes him so much to return to his native land. During Mr. JOHNSON's unfortunate career of mistaken conciliation Mr. PEABODY was pursuing a labour of love towards England which even Americans were not disposed to regret. Whilst the two nations were doubting whether they should not prepare for war, he was practically proving,al friendship b 3 m w i i n i i ich stering to the severest of England's necessities, the real bonds of sympathy divisions of th e Anglo -s y a e x t on bin r c a l ce t . oget r he . r p te u o t D w l o , remains A t eli s illlea l ri l ii - l o csa r n th tl i ov ly hob r e e: a r ss e e s e ent e d the Great Republic ; it J r s t w 1: r e r t ihveera the will accomplish distinguished the not less important work of peace which lies within his power. Mr. MOTLEY comes upon a difficult mission of uncertain result. With the commence ment of his diplomatic career the relations between the two countries enter upon a new phase. his pre decessor failed because he did not represent the domi nant party : but though the work will have to be done over again, we shall have the satisfaction of knowing that whatever progress is made for the future will be substantial. Mr. MOTLEY will not indulge in any of the outpourings of spirit by which his predecessor gave snail offence; but whatever action he takes will be done in the name of the party which now rules the United States. Just after Mr. SUMNER'S speech it was apprehended that _Mr. MOTLEY would , come with instructions based on that warlike manifesto, or that he would at least adopt a rolicy of hostile inactivity. Mr. Surnm's speech, however, is no longer looked upon in America as an oratilar emission. The new Ambassador comes amongst us with words of peace ; and, dispassionately considered, the situa tion is one which ought not to give rise to any serious fear of war. • Various momentous considerations confine the policy of America within limits as narrow as our own. Mr. SUMNER and the editor of the New York Herald have unbounded liberty of making unofficial declarations of war to which little responsibility can be attached ; but President GRANT is not in the position of these bellicose personages. As the head of a nation he has nol alternative to a peaceful policy. It is needless to recount the losses which the Americans would incur by a great war; and it is not less certain whatever they might hope to gain will be more readily acquired by rigid abstention from war. No doubt the Monroe doctrine is still the creed of a large and powerful party in the United Stater. The United States might possibly acquire Canada as the reward of a conflict, whereas England could not hope to obtain any substantial advantage whatever. But the conquest of Canada is by no means - the matter-of-course undertaking which the New York Herald and some Englishmen are disposed to believe. The colony could not be taken by a coup de main. It is true that in 1865 the United States possessed an immense army, to which England and its colony could offer no effective oppo sition. But this army exists no longer. It has dwindled down to a force of 20,000 men, who find abundance of employment in garrisoning the South and keeping the Indians in subjection. Before a campaign could commence an army must be raised, and the delay thus involved would place the two nations, at the beginning at least, on an equal footing. England would have time to throw all the force she Could raise uptut frontier; it is not impossible that New York might be taken before an American army could be raised to strike a blow. The American navy is now confessedly unequal to our own, and it is to be still further weakened by large sales of ironclads. It would be long before the United States could make any effective attempt to keep the sea in time of battle against us. These and similar considerations shew how little real importance is to be attached to the vapour ing of irresponsible orators and writers. Most likely Canada might be captured in the end, but the danger and difficulty of a war with a nation of Great Britain's tried resources are so serious that something more definite than Mr. SUMNER'S speech ought to be re quired to cause a panic amongst the holders of Five- Twenties. It is certain, then, that the Monroe doctrine of "America forth eAm erica ns " can never advantageously prevail by force ; whether by process of natural selection the whole of North America will come under one rule, is a question with more than one aspect. Experience is not in favour of the Monroe doctrine. History teaches us that States which exceed a certain territorial magnitude are liable to fall to pieces by their own weight. There is a certain point at which the differences of climate, race, and soil become incompatible with single government. The map of Europe has been vastly altered during the last two centuries; but all attempts to unite a large portion of the continent under one rule have failed. The Roman Empire divided in two soon after it attained its greatest strength. • Victoria and New South Wales are be ginning to display a peaceful sort of antagonism ; rivalry is rapidly springing up between them. And, judging by these precedents,' it is more than ques tionable whether the United States, which are now as large as all Europe,can extend from Panama to the Polar Sea without imminent danger of disruption. At present the Canadians display no desire to join the States. The American journals point trium phantly to the large emigration from Canada south wards ; but though the States, from their greater population, may be preferred as settlements, it by no means follows that a people now settled in Canada must desire annexation, They can expect to reap no benefit which they do not already enjoy, except heavy taxes. The W4shington GOvernment has it in its power to reduce the burdens which press upon the American nation: It is rapidly doing so. The A rmy mid Navy Budgets are being ruth lessly cut down, and the Treasury frauds will belessened as much as possible. These wise measures, combined with the utter disgrace into which the doctrine of repudiation has fallen, may do much to counter balance Mr. SUMNER'S foolish speech, and raise Ame rican credit. With an improved position in the money markets of the world, lighter taxes, and that general prosperity which is sure to attend American fortunes, the States may invite their Canadian neighbours to join them. Whether they can live in peace and harmony will be an interesting question of the future; but they can never live in peace as con querors and conquered with infinitely increased burdens, diminished trade, and a trebled national debt. LITERATURE. The Poetical IVorks •of William Wordsworth. Popular Edition. One Vol. Pp. 704. Moxon. In the form of a noble volume we have here the only complete popular edition of the great philoso phic poet of nature, William Wordsworth. Within the first quarter of a hundred pages are comprised the Poems, written in youth, beginning with the Extract penned in 1786, and ending with the tragedy of the Borderers. Afterwards come the Poems re ferring to the Period of Childhood, followed imme diately by those founded on the Affections. Next in order are those on the , Naming of Places—•then the Poems of the Fancy—then the Poems of the Imagination. As a finale to the Poems of Fancy, there are the four cantos of The Waggoner. And as the sequel to the Poems of Imagination, the tale in four divisions of Peter Bell. In three parts are subsequently arranged the noble sonnets of a miscellaneous character—" best, beautiful " among them all the Sonnet on the Sonnet. A Sonnet than which no nobler was ever written by Milton or by Petrarch. Memorials of Two Tours in Scotland—that of 1803 and that of 1813—occupy the next position in this comprehensive collection of the poetical works of Wordsworth. Then there are placed in sequence—the two parts or divisions of the group of poems Dedicated to Liberty and National Independence. Referring to 1820, we next have. Memorials of a Tour on the Continent —an 1 relating to 1837 Memorials of a Tour in Italy. Subjoined to the Series of Sonnets in honour of The River Duddon, come the seven cantos of The White Doe of Rylstone, in which the fate of the Nortons is celebrated. Portione.l out into three parts, are the numerous Sonnets of au Ecclesiastical character. Then comes Yarrow Revisited, and after that Evening Volunteers. A Tour in the Summer of 1833 will be found to have suggested the next collection of Poems. Afterwards we have Poems of Sentiment and Reflection.. Son nets, especially dedicated to Liberty and Order, are followed by Sonnets upon the Puuishment of Death. Purely Miscellaneous Poems arc succeeded by In scriptions•—then by Selections from Chaucer mo dernised—then again by Poems referring to the Period of Old Age—then Epitaphs and Elegiac Pieces—then The Prelude—and finally, and to crown all, The Excursion. Appendix, Prefaces, Dedication, Post script, Additional Poems, an Index to the whole of the Poems, an In dex to the first line of them ra pidly summarised, are the contents of a volume comprising within it the published attestations of the poetic genius of Wordsworth. As a frontis piece to the book there is an engraving from the well-known portrait of the venerable Poet of th 3 Lakes, by Pickersgill. The little cclandine, the daisy, th daffodil, the primrose, the snowdrop, are among the flowers especially wreathing a coronet for Wordsworth. The cuckoo, the redbreast, the green linnet, the skylark, are a mong; the familiar birds - singing his praises as if in gratitude for having been sung by him. Anything almost—an idiot—a kitten playing with dead leaves—a robin 'chasing a butterfly —an - echo—a nee dle case—a sea shell--a rock—a cloud—a:bird's nest—each in I turn is theme enough for Wordsworth. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS. MONDAY, May 31. The best friends of the Empire in England and other countries—and its foreign friends are not specially nume rous just now—are so struck with the shock sustained by Imperialism at the general election, that they advise immediate reform. Even the Morning Herald, well known as one of the firmest of Napoleon's supporters, is, I observe, of opinion that concessions ought to be made to the Liberal spirit of France. A little relaxation of personal rule now may save the dynasty ; a little later may be too late. Unfortunately, the official papers of Paris write in the opposite strain. The Public publishes an article precisely similar to the reactionary manifesto which I yesterday noticed in the People. The Public says that the elections of Paris, Lyons, and Mar seilles are a menace to which the Government cannot oppose a policy of weakness. Decidedly, the behaviour of the authorities at this electoral contest has not been remarkable for its honesty. The Patrie, of to-day, comes out with a flourish of trumpets and drums, about the perfect good faith and justice of the administration in the various departments. It complains that Liberal journals have accused the authorities of exercising undue pressure for the purpose of returning official candidates. In answer to this charge, it publishes the text of M. de Forcade la Roquette's famous circular to the prefects—the circular of which so much has been said, but which has never before seen the light. This document states that though the prefects have the power to suspend the maires and their subordinates, yet this power must not be exercised during the electoral period, lest it might be attributed to political motives. "We are not accustomed," says M. de Forcade la Roquette, "to influence elections by measures of this kind." This parade of justice is very imposing, no doubt, and looks well in print. Unfortunately the Empire adopts one policy in the sight of the public and another in private. At. the moment that this generous circular is published, a curious illustration of the " mildness and equity" of the authorities comes to light. M. Gourdon, mayor of Lormont, who has been twenty years a member of the Council of Arrondissement at Bordeaux, and who has recently been decorated for his administrative services, has resigned. In a letter to the Gironde, M. Gourdon declares that "his dignity as a man, as a citizen, and as a public functionary, does not permit him to submit to the instructions sent to him from the Prefecture relative to the second balloting which is to take place in the third circumscription." These orders, transmitted to M. Gourdon verbally by the Vice-President of the Council of Prefecture, are to the effect that " the Prefect is determined, at any price, to return M. Travot (the official candidate) ; that a mayor is required at Lormont who will go from door to door, to the house of every elector ; and, finally, that the superior functionary is disposed to remove every ob stacle in order to secure the triumph of his protégé." This remarkable example of the impartiality of the autho rities needs no comment. When the local authorities are expected to canvass votes from house to house, the force of official intervention can no further go. M. Lissagaray, in the Arenir, of Auch, promises us some lively details respecting the election of the notorious M. Granier de Cassagnac, the Emperor's intimate friend and —the editor of the Pays. The Avenir plainly states that the electoral urns have been tampered with in several communes. Fair means or foul, it is much to be regretted that M. de Cassagnac has been returned. It is said that when the Corps Legislatif does assemble there will be a desperate fight at the first onset on the confirma tion of various returns. The Opposition mean to protest against numerous official deputies as unfairly returned. So fierce, it is expected, will be the opening sittings that a strong party in high quarters advocate the putting off of the preliminary session for six months. This is the limit allowed by the Constitution. It was originally designed to assemble the House at the end of June. Public meetings are now being held in all the circum scriptions. Some of them are very tumultuous, but so far riot has been avoided. The epidemic amongst the cashiers has seized an inter esting pair of twins. The managers of the Agricultural Banks of Laon and of Coucy have taken to flight, each leaving a considerable deficit. The revolutionary spirit in France seems to be in herent from earliest youth. One of those school revolts which are not unfrequent in this country has just taken place at the College of Evreux. Some of the elder students had for some time shewn great dis satisfaction with the harshness of the director of the college. The punishments he inflicted were heavy, and his language by no means mild. A day or two ago some thirty of them were confined at their studies whilst the rest were at la c~•eation. During the absence of the director a young usher inflicted afresh punishment, which the pupils, with the support of the whole school, refused to submit to. On the head master's return lie ordered three of the offending pupils to be confined in a cell ; their companions rose in revolt and broke open the door; but the three prisoners declined to take advantage of this opportunity to recover their liberty, and remained calmly in their confinement. The director now lost all control over his temper, and ordered the expulsion of the three youths in question, but who had not taken any part in the riot. This act nas considered so unjust that all the elder boys demanded that the measure should be retracted or be extended to them likewise. The original three have, in consequence, been swelled to thirty, a ll of whom have been sent back to their parents. - A singular advertisement appears in Gatignani to-day. A partner who can dispose of £l2O is `• wanted." The under taking to be embarked in is the making of "an excava tion, at two le.agues from Paris, in an underground passage, which afforded communication between two con vents destroyed several centuries back. The excavations will be directed by means of an electro-attractive ' instrument, which reveals the presence of precious metals at whatever depth they may be buried." In addition to large stores of the precious metals, rich archeological treasures may be expected in this mine which requires but £l2O to work it. The advertiser is a lady. I notice an announcement in some of the German papers that Count Bismarck might possibly retire into private life if the North German Parliament and the Prussian Chambers reject his financial schemes. The papers here have reproduced this statement with the usual anti- Prussian m pan, but the Cross Gazette indig nantl y denies that Count Bismarck entertains such an idea. The Established Church of Scotland in its General Assembly has resolved to petition Parliament for an altera tion of the law of patronage. intelligence reached West Hartlepool on Saturday morning of the total loss of a large Prussian brig, with all hands. Nothing certain is known as to the brig's identity further than that she was painted white, had a figurehead of the same colour, and her headboards bore the name (as nearly as could be made out) of Ostern. It is stated that Mr. Bernal Osborne will become a candidate in the Liberal interest for Nottingham in the room of Sir Robert Clifton. The Echo is informed that Mr. George Potter will come forward as the working-men's can didate. Mr. Potter will refrain from issuing his address until after the funeral of the deceased. A murder, as revolting in some of its incidents as the Norwich tragedy itself, has just come to light at Dews bury. The dismembered body of a female child, far gone in decomposition, was found on Saturday in a well that sup plied many families with water. Typhoid fever has been prevalent in tha neighbourhood, and it is now attributed to the use of the water poisoned in this horrible manner. A. stabbing case of a serious nature, and involving two sufferers, occurred in L i v er p ool on Saturda y ni g ht. A man named Richard Lar kin, residin g with his dau g hte rs Catherine Kirby, and h er husband, James Kirby, at 113, Eli as -street, quarrelled with his dau g hter, an d during the quarrel he stabbed her under the arm with a bayonet, and arterwards stabbed her husband in the abdomen. Larkin is in custody. The Star is assured, upon the very best authority, that Mr. Motley comes to this country upon a mission of peace, and for the purpose of conciliating and binding closer and closer the ties of friendship between the two countries. lie repudiates entirely the statements which have been promulgated to the effect that he comes armed with authority to demand an immediate settlement of the Alabama claims. A conference of the representatives from the vari ous Conservative associations throughout Lancashire was held in the Town Hall, Manchester, on Saturday afternoon, for the purpose cf making arrangements for a great county mass meeting to be held in Manchester, calling upon the House of Lords to throw out the Bill of Mr. Gladstone for disestablishing and disendowing the Irish Chu;ch. It was resolved that the dimonstratian he held in the Pomona Gardens on the 12th of Juno. The brig Robert and Mary, belonging to West Hart', pool, sailed front that port ;Llama a month ago, with a cargo of coal, for Cronstadt, and, in the absence of Captain Knaggs, the command was entrusted to the mate, Thomas Darker, a Whitby man. Information has Leen received that• a quarrel ensued between • the mato and a lad of 20 years of age, named Elder, also belonging to Whitby, relative to disobedience of orders given by Lim to Elder. In the course of the quarrel the mate dealt the natter a back handed blow, on which the lad seized - a handspike, and felled him on the deck with a violent-blow on the head, fipl the effects of which Ikz:ket;dieq th 9 pm . R eyp4ig, CO-OPERATIVE CONGR.ES3, A Co-operative Congress, under the presidency of Mr. Thomas Hughes, M.P., was opened at the Society of Arts on Monday. There were present delegates from Leeds, Birmingham, Mansfield, Kidderminster, Bacup, Nottingham, Manchester, and various other places. In opening the proceedings, Mr. Hughes said that the last Co-operative Conference in London was heldin July 1852, in the hall belonging to the Working Tailors' Association of that, day. That association was broken up, and of the fif teen working associations (as distinguished from co-opera tive stores) represented at that conference, only one had survived to the present time—the Hatters' Association of Manchester. The fact was that the co-opeiative move ment was substantially much where it was in 1852. The reasons for this were not, be thought, far to seek. For the past seventeen years the members of the move ment had not been living up to the principles with which they started. Originally the main object of the societies was to make men of their members, training them to feel their relationship to each other, the worth of fellowship in work, the duty of aiding and training their weaker brethren, and to iegard the making of profits and the production of wealth as a means only to that end. Since that time they had treated the making of profits and the production of wealth as the end and not the means. Passing from what he called the discouraging side of the retrospect of the past, the chairman said that they had the consolation of knowing that the practical leaders of the movement were thoroughly alive to the fact of its deficiencies, and were conscious of the truth that they were at the beginning, and not at the end, of these undertakings. The present congress bad to make the most of the present position, and on the threshold they were met by the curious fact that the successful societiesin .the North had been for some time embarrassed by too much capital. Their members had been in the habit of leaving a large part of their profits in the society to accumulate at interest at 5 per cent. The difficulty on the part of the management to obtain investments for the surplus money in their bands beyond the amount required for the ordinary business of the concern, at that rate had been found to be very great. The difficulty might be solved by persuading the members to take a less rate of interest. There would then be no difficulty in Ending good investments for all spare capital. Referring to the importance of the accumulating societies helping the producing associations with capital„ Mr. Hughes suggested that an organisation should be formed for the purpose. The work would be one requiring the greatest caution and watchfulness, as asso ciations for production, as a rule, had not been successful. The regret caused by that fact, however, was tempered by the reflection that the rapid and decided success of asso ciations for production in England might have made the establishment of such partnerships of industry as Messrs. Briggs's Methley Collieries impossible. Than that no greater misfortune could have happened to the country. Having detailed the success which had attended the movement set on foot by Mr. Henry Briggs, and suggested whether it would not be possible to get the trades societies throughout the country to take a direct part in the co-operative movement, the chairman called attention to the land question, and expressed his gratifica tion at hearing that the leading co-operatives in the North were directing their thoughts to the subject. By a little adaptation the machinery of an ordinary building society might be made to work out many of the purposes for which land was desired. The lawyers would do well to consider the question carefully, with a view of ascertaining, first, precisely what they wanted ; secondly, how far they could get it under the law as it stood at present ; thirdly, what alterations in the law would be necessary. Mr. Hughes concluded by expressing the deep regret with which he had just heard of the death of Mr. Smithies, who had done so much in advancing the co-operative principle in Rochdale. Several letters were read from Italy, Switzerland, France, and Algeria from foreigners who warmly sym pathised with the objects of the conference. The first paper was " On the best means of utilising the organisation of the trades unions for co-operative pur poses," and was read by Mr. FRASER, of Birmingham. In the discussion which followed, Mr. M`LEon, of Man chester, and a member of the Amalgamated Engineers Society, expressed the opinion that trades unions were not at present prepared to join the co-operative movement, though he frankly confessed that they ought to be. He suggested that the unions should lend their moneys to co-operative societies. Since the strike in the building trade in Manchester, several of the leading working men had united, and bad obtained a contract. But the diffi culty was the money. Why should not the unions lend it ? That might be done with the best results. Mr. HOLLAND argued that co-operation did much more than trades unions in raising the wages of the working classes. Mr. ALLEN, of the Amalgamated Engineers' Society, said that they had no money to lend to co-operation. All that was subscribed was required for their own pur poses. Mr. 'LLOYD JONES deprecated the principle of co-opera tion being adopted in a moment of excitement, and as a result of a quarrel with the employers of labour. The Hon. A ÜBERON HERBERT asked whether the trades unions, if they would not lend their money, could not he induced to persuade those of their members who were out of work to co-operate. Exhibitions might be held for the sale of the work which these men would furnish. Sir JOHN BOWRING, who took the chair during the temporary absence of Mr. Hughes, said that everything in the present age was tending towards the development of the co-operative principle. Mr. LUDLOW contended that trades unions when they banked their mon( y virtually lent it only to the monied class. ITe suggested the formation of a co-operation bank composed of a teacuxtion of co-operative societies. With such a bank the trades unions could leave their funds on deposit. Mr. GREENING thought the aggregate capital of the whole of the co-operative societies of the country might be brought together to represent the security which depositors would naturally demand. The discussion was adjourned. The Churchmen of Derry are to hold a meeting (on the Belfast model) in that city on the sth of June. About 200 Lutheran ministers waited upon President Grant on the 15th instant, and after a short speech from the Rev. Dr. Pohlman, of New York, the entire 200 insisted Upon shaking' hands with him per• sonally, and declined to do it by proxy as the rev. doctor suggested. ROYALTY AND FRAILTY.—A London correspon dent writes :—" We hear terrible things of the shameless extravagance of the demi-monde in Paris, but matters are little better in London. Some of the linen-drapers in our most fashionable thoroughfares would rather see one of these creatures enter their shops than two or three real ladies. They find out who is her `friend,' and if she satisfies them on this point they let her have everything she requires. A high profit is charged for the extra risk, and at the last moment the bill of £lOO or £2OO is usually paid to avoid exposure. The portrait of one of these fashionable demi-reps is in every photographer's shop, in the same line usually with the Earl of Shaftesbury and the bishops. There is an on dit that this frail sister ' made her appearance at the Italian Opera in a box exactly opposite the Royal box on a night when it was occupied by some members of the Royal Family, and that the lessees received a message that if ever a similar thing happened again no member of the Royal Family would enter the Opera House in future." MODEL OF A DISTRICT HALL AND OF A SELF REGISTERING BALLOT-BOx.—There is now being exhibited in the Structural DePartment of the South Kensington Museum a beautiful little model of a district-hall or per manent voting-place, made by Mr. William Lovett, the well-known politician of olden times, and is formed after a design of Mr. Matthew Allen's, the builder, Taber nacle-walk, Finsbury. The model is supposed to contain a large hall or voting and meeting place, fourteen large committee-rooms for the use of candidates, a plat form in front from which candidates can address the electors, together with every arrangement within for voting purposes,- one side of the model being left open to spew the interior. Mr. Lovett has also designed and nearly completed the model of a self-registering ballot box, as delineated in the People's Charter of 1838, and in the execution of which he has been assisted by Mr. Keissler, of Spencer-street, Clerkenwell. These two models are intended to illustrate Mr. Lovett's plan of a cheap, just, and efficient mode of electing members of Par liament ; in fact, to do away with all expense, save that of paying for the printing of their bills and circulars. A CONCERTED STRIKE.—For once there may be seen in operation a strike which employers and work people have combined to arrange. The masters have even offered to contribute to the support of the workmen if they will only keep out on strike. The scene of this experiment is the principal coal region of Pennsylvania, and the object, of course, is to " starve" the market, and so force up prices. There are now about 20,000 miners on strike, but they make no demand for increase of wages, nor have they assigned any cause for dissatisfaction. The trick promised to be successful, for coal at once advanced from 50c. to $1 per ton.. It was thought that better results still might be achieved if the colliery owners and millers could continue to agree so pleasantly. Perhaps the invention may not be wholly new in this country, but it has never been tried here on so extensive a scale. The sham strikes of Pennsylvania are likely to gain the same sort of notoriety as that which Connecticut long enjoyed, perhaps un deservedly; for its wooden nutmegs and hams.—Pall Mull Ogette, lIR. GOLDWIN SMITH IN .REPLY TO MR, SUMNE.R. On the 9th of May Mr. Goldwin Smith delivered a vet/ lengthy address at Ithaca in reply to Mr. Sumner's speech. lie introduced himself as an Englishman, loyal to England, and declared that Mr. Sumnerjudged England far too harshly. There were parties on both sides who had an interest in war. In England it was the Tories, to whom a rupture with America would be political salvation. "John Bright could not and would not remain in office to carry on a war against this country. He and his friends who are now in the Govern ment would go out. The Tories would come into power , and wield all the resources of England and the united nation in a death-struggle with American democracy? Of all the civilized States, England, Mr. Smith argued, Ni as the least aggressive. She gave up the lonian Islands , marched out of A byssinia immediately after releasing the cap tives, thinks of giving up Gibraltar, and quarrelled with Russia because the Czar offered her Egypt and Crete if slits would conniv? at Muscovite designs. With respect to the annexation of Canada, it was a matter for the Canadians to decide. England left them free to separate, and to annoy tnemselves if they pleased. His own opinion was in favour of England giving up her American colonies as soon as she could, but aas to ceding them, or any of her citi zens by way of compensation for her own liabilities, it i 5 5 thought which honour would forbid her to entertain ;" and if the Canadians were prematururely forced into the 'Union they would carry disaffection into its vitals. After ridicul ing the notion that the American expedition could secure the independence of Ireland, and strongly denying that Englisb men.favoured slavery. The speaker said—" Honour knowsue limit to concession but that of justice. My only desire, aye an Englishman, is that England may pay to the uttermos t arthing any debt which upon any sane theory she can have incurred, and thus stand clear before the world and in the hearts of her own people. I trust also that if it is made to appeo r before an impartial tribunal that our Government has failed however unintentionally, in the performance of any of its international duties to a friendly Power the payment of damages will be accompanied with a full acknowledg ment of the error. But if Mr. Sumner means to thrust arbitration aside—if he means to insi st upon being judge in his own cause, on pronouncing us guilty in any manner which his inflamed fancy can suggest, an d fining and humiliating us at his discretion—we shall appeal with confidence to the reason and moral sense of the chi' lised world.' VAGRANTS IN FRANCE. In France, as Mr. Blanchard Jerrold has already told us in the columns of the Star, there is an organised system for the education, feeding, clothing, and repression of vagrants. Mr. Jerrold now describes one of the institn• tions to which beggars are removed, and where they nr e taught a trade, and made to understand something of cleanliness. Mr. Jerrold visited the llfaison Repression of St. Denis, Paris. The house is ancient an d i ruinous, its general internal appearance is clean businesslike, its officials humane, its inmates of both sexes, and unmistakeably of the beggar class. The vari o n s departments of the institution Mr. Jerrold describes at length. The orderly kitchen comes under his espeeisl admiration. The fare, he remarked, was chiefly vegetable, soups, and stews. No wine or beer is allowed, except to the sick. Both men and women work, and the several workshoPs are most interesting. 'the dormitories are models of tidine°' and the bedridden are looked after with much care. 111 e women are all dressed in a gray gown of stout mater ial, with white aprons. The men's department is less op en and more ruinous than the female wards. The men sleep in large dormitories holding eighty beds, kept s crur l ° i lously sweet and clean, and they work in shop s , various sizes. The range of trades in the $I" Denis depot includes ropemaking, sack and ba nd weaving, brushmaking, tailoring, brass-working, 011° , r a making,hemp-spinning, boxmaking, that disruption of °' material which prepares it for an appearance as shod"; cloth, and lint-making for the hospitals. beggar • workers are all in a grey suit, cobw eb tint. In each workshop the contractor's deP ati a presides, watches and directs the work, a n sees that his master has his proper p ro pution ° labour. The work begins at seven in the inoraia't and lasts in the summer till seven, and in 'dot e : till dark. , The average labour is ten hours a (I N The internal economy of the St. Denis d e r appeared to be excellently administered througb°l3 All the labour that can be used is used.

THE ELECTIO The Parisian correspondent of the Times writes a 4 4 , remarkable letter on the Red vote of the large French to He says :—" The Government its e lf, won d er f u lly blinde a short-sighted by self-interest, likes the mad strain of 0 111' 1 socialism much better than constitutional opposition ; aDo there is no doubt that it would gladly accept ten Respel l° a the house rather than one Thiers .
