rE LATE MILITARY MURDERS. The Recorder of London, in charging the grand jury at the opening of the sessions at the Central Criminal Court on Monday, referred to the two military murders recently committed at Devonport and Aldershot. He observed that two cases of wilful murder would be brought before the jury, and in neither of them did the circumstances come within the ordinary jurisdiction of the court. By an Act of Parlia ment passed some years ago, it was provided that persons guilty of certain offences in the army might be removed from the place where the alleged offence was committed and brought within the jurisdiction of the Central Criminal Court, in order that they might be tried the more speedily. The first case was that against a soldier named Dickson, and in that case a person could not see what provocation led to the commission of the offence. It seemed from the depositions that the accused was in a room with two other men, and their attention was attracted by the click of a rifle. One of them turned round, and observed that the prisoner was loading the gun. Apprehending that all was not right, he said to the prisoner, " Don't make a fool of yourself." The accused said, " Keep off." Just at that moment the deceased was passing, and the prisoner levelled his rifle and shot him dead. In the next case the prisoner's name was William Taylor, and the offence was committed at Devonport ; but in this instance the circum stances which led to the crime were disclosed. The prisoner was at drill, and some fault had been found with his "kit," and he was sent away, and he must then and there have taken the opportunity to have loaded his rifle. He came back and finished his drill, which he said was very hard. As they were marching away, the accused shot the deceased, who was walking in front. The learned Recorder then proceeded to refer to other cases in the calendar. THE OUTRAGE IN THE OLD KENT-ROAD. ----~- A man, giving the name of Thomas Paull, 36, and describing himself as a shoemaker, but refusing his address, was brought up at the Lambeth Police-court, on Monday, charged with feloniously breaking into the house of Mr. Peake, Trafalgar-road, Old Kent-road, and also with brutally assaulting Mrs. Peake, on the 9th inst. A woman, named Eliza Lewis, was also taken into custody with the prisoner. The first witness called was Louisa Peake, who said she was in the second floor bed room last Monday afternoon when she thought she heard a man's footsteps on the stairs. Shortly afterwards she heard her mother scream, and ran out, when she saw the prisoner on the landing below in the act of shutting the door of the back first floor bedroom in which her mother was. He looked up, saw her, and went down and out of the front door. On going downstairs she found her mother at the top of the back stairs, bleeding pro fusely from the head. Witness stated that she had been to the police station, and singled out the prisoner from among twelve or fourteen other men. She had no doubt prisoner was the man she saw in her house. On examina tion it was found that about ten silver teaspoons, a pair of sugar tongs, a cigar-holder, and two salt spoons were missing. The house had been entered by the back door, which was broken open.—Sarah Jane Reed said she lived two doors from the house of last witness. She was cleaning the front windows at about a quarter to three on Monday afternoon, When she saw a man go down the area steps of Mr. Peake's house. That man was the prisoner. lie came back shortly and beckoned to a man who was standing about four houses away. They joined, and both went down the area steps. About ten minutes afterwards the prisoner came out of the front door, and the other man came up the area steps shortly afterwards. They walked away, until they got a few doors off, and then they ran. She could swear prisoner was one of those men. She picked him out from a number of others at the Carter-street Station.—George Ranger, detective officer of the R division, said that he had seen the two last witnesses, and from the information he received from them be had been on the look out for prisoner. He took him that morning near the Elephant and Castle. When taken to the station he refused to give his name or address.—James Dunn, inspector P division, said he had placed the prisoner among ten or twelve others, at the police-station, and Miss Peake and Miss Reed singled out the man without any hesita tion.—After the prisoner had put a number of very shrewd questions to the witnesses he was remanded.— Eliza Lewis, 25, who gave her address as Tower-street, Waterloo-road, was charged with having in her possession ten pawnbrokers' duplicates supposed to relate to stolen property. Detective Ranger said the woman was in com pany with the male prisoner when taken. She wag searched, and pawnbrokers' duplicates were found upon her, se ieral of them relating to gold rings, &c. Mr. Woolrych ordered a remand in this case also. LAW .AND POLICE. ACTION AGAINST THE SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY Co_. PANT.—An action against the South-Eastern Railway Company concluded the business of the Croydon Assizes. The plaintiff, a young man, is a schoolmaster. His appointment, salary, and emoluments being taken into consideration, may be set down as worth £l3O a year. On the evening of the 22nd of December last he took a second-class ticket to travel from the Blackfriars-road station to London Bridge. Just as was about to enter a carriage, having one foot upon the step, Cie guard ran forward, and telling him he could not get into that parti cular carriaze, he slammed the door so as to inflict a very violent blow upon the side of the plaintiff's head. He thereupon thrust the plaintiff into another carriage, and he travelled on to London Bridge. There was another passenger in the carriage with him, and although the plaintiff made no complaint to his fellow-traveller of the door having been slammed upon him, and of con sequent injuries, yet he was overheard remonstrating with the guard on his conduct after the arrival of the train at London Bridge. Gradually very unfavourable symptoms began to develop themselves, and the medical evidence called on behalf of the plaintiff was to the effect that the blow he had received caused a concus sion of the brain. The medical gentlemen, however, who had examined the plaintiff on behalf of the com pany could not discover any external evidence of the injury complained of. The representation on the side of the plaintiff was that since the accident he had been unfit to perform his duties, and that some time must yet elapse before he was entirely adequate for the purpose. The defence raised by the company, in the first place, ques tioned the possibility of any such occurrence as was the subject of the action ever taking place ; and, secondly, disputed the extent of injury sustained by the plaintiff. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages f:250. CHARGE AGAINST THE SECRETARY OF A TRADES UNlON,—Thomas Highton, late secretary of the Stock port Spinners' and Minders' Association, has been brought up at Stockport on a charge of embezzling £2O, the moneys of his employers. Prisoner absconded about four months ago. He was paid secretary to the Stockport Spinners' and Minders' Association, was well known throughout Lanca shire and Cheshire, and was a very active and earnest advo cate of trades unions. On the 11th of September last he was authorised to take £lO to the bank, and on the 20th of October a similar amount, but the pass-book shewed that no such sums had been deposited, although entries had been made in the pass-book in what purported to be the handwriting of one of the bank clerks. Prisoner's defence was that the association was not registered, and that the prosecution was illegal. The prosecuting attorney, Mr. Johnson, the coroner for the district, shewed that the law, as propounded by Mr. Justice Lush, was that although the Friendly Societies Act did not give the magistrates summary powers, it did not stand in the way of an indictment. Prisoner was committed to the Chester Assizes for trial. MR. GRENVILLE MURRAY AND THE "QUEEN'S MES. SENGER."-At Judges' Chambers an application has been made on behalf of Mr. Grenville Murray, the defendant in the action of " Hughes v. Murray," to stay execution until the sth day of next Michaelmas Term, to enable the defendant to move for a new trial, on the ground that a verdict had been obtained by the plaintiff on the 10th of this month at Croydon in the absence of Mr. Murray, owing to his illness abroad. The application was made by Messrs. Hathaway and Andrews for the defendant, and was supported by affidavits of the defendant, and of two Paris physicians, made on the 13th of this month, to the effect that Mr. Murray had been seriously ill with dysentry from the 29th July last to the present time, and that he could not travel without danger to his life. The application was opposed by Mr. Harper on behalf of the plaintiff, but eventually an order was made on payment of a sum of money into court, to abide the event of a new Meetings in Lvour of an amnesty to Political pri soners were licld on Snnilny in Waterford and Thuries. The Prince of 'Wales is expected to return to Marlborough House from it ad on tLo 25th it st , and will the following day go to Al)ergeldio for grouse bliooting. The P, it css of Wales and chi!dan will prolong their resi dence at Wildbal probably till the third week in Septerub .r. The working moclel of a steamboat, with a new style of propellers, has been exhibited on Long Island Sound. The wheels are made like augurs, I , nd cause nothing of the jar to the vessel, nor commotion in the water, that is experienced from the present style of side wheels, and are said to secure greater speed. it is perhaps not generally known that Mr. Cornelius Grinnell, who met with the fatal accident in Ryde last Monday week, is the eldest son of Mr. Henry Grinnell, of New York, who a few years ago so nobly chartered a vessel to go in search of the remains of Sir Jan Fruklir. ORAAGE LOYALTY. The Birkenhead Advertiser publisnes the following : The members of the Schomberg Orange Lodge held a meeting a day or two back at the Palatine Hotel, Birkenhead, W.M. Brother Harper in the chair, sad D.M. Brother Garnet the vice - chair. Tile worthy chaplain, Brother Shaw, having read a portion of God's word, the usual monthly business was proceeded with. At the close of the business Brother Jobson read the Coronation Oath as taken by her Majesty on her ascending the throne, and reminded the brethren of the shameful manner that oath had been violated. He said that their obligations to the Queen were now at an end, and for the future no toast was to be drunk to the health of the Queen or the Prince of Wales. The lodge then closed in due form, when refreshments were served, and the W.M., on rising, said : " Worthy Deputy and Brethren, we hitherto have been a political, as well as religious, society. Now things are very different. For the future we are a religions society only, and in our organisation we must know and support our friends only, in independence of any State or Power, to the best advantage of the Protestant reformed religion. I have always been brought up in loyalty and taught to consider as a most heinous crime any departure from the respect accorded to our royal ruler, but since she so far forgot herself as to sign that rascally Robbery Bill (as did also the Prince of 'Wales) my allegiance is at an end. (` Hear, hear,' and cries of `Same here'); therefore I propose to you the health and'success of our sailor prince, ' The Duke of Edinburgh.'" Next followed the charter toast, viz., " The pious, glorious, and immortal memory of William 111., Prince of Orange," and also many songs and recitations till a proper hour for separating. TIIE (Y)11:2,11:7WE OF FRANCE. The official report of the commerce of France, drawn up by our Secretary of Embassy at Paris, shows a decided increase over previous years, notwithstanding the great stagnation of trade. The imports of articles of food have risen from £33,700,000 to £37,800,000; natural products and materials necessary for industry from £73,266,000 to £82,790,000; manufactured articles from £8,880,000 to £9,360,000. The total value of imports was in 1867, £121,000,000, and in 1868, £135,000,000. The total of the exports was £113,000,000 in 1E67, and £116,270,000 in 1868. Considering that the population of France is almost stationary, these results are con sidered most satisfactory. The imports of cattle, too, have largely increased, not. withstanding stringent measures against the importation of cattle disease. The English Secretary of Embassy notes as a significant fact that the Government, while taking precautions against the introduc tion of a disease from foreign countries, is actually investigating the nature of an indigenous one which has many years caused great ravages among the live stock in some parts of France. "As the commission appointed for the purpose has not yet published its report, I can only state some general facts concerning it. This disease is peculiar to the departments of the Cantal and Puy de Dome, in the centre of France, and is known by the name of the mal de montagne.' It infects the cattle fed upon the high lands of these departments, which form a vast volcanic plateau about 3,500 feet above the level of the sea. The southern and western departments are supplied with cattle from these pastures, and almost all the young beasts which are fat tened in Normandy are bred here. Large quantities of cheese are also made in these districts. It seems to be established that the malady consists in an affection of the viscera of the animals, caused by the presence in the blood of an undue quantity of carbon, whether produced by the peculiar properties of the flora or n ater remains doubtful. Although it does not extend to the neighbour ing districts, and has not hitherto been considered con tagious, it is, I think, questionable whether cattle infected with it and removed to the other pastures may not repro duce it, under different conditions, in a more - virulent and even contagious form." It is stated that Finlen, of Hyde-park notoriety, will shortly sail from Liver' 00l for the Llitt d States. Previously to doing so, ho is to receivo a testimonial from his Loudon admirers. The Earl of Denbigh writes, for the information those who have subscribed to the Papal Defence Fund, that the committee have sent out 1,000 Hemir•gton r:fles com plete, at an expense of .£3, , 100, ::11 of u Lich are paid for. The madness of the suicidal mania is singulnr. On Saturday, for t xemple, a man at Liveipeol thought it meet to destroy himself in public, wl.ile Ilw chits (I was awaiting the arrival of the judges at the nifize,. A ftllow iusied up the Eters of the St. George's Ilall, drew attentit n to Litr,elf, and thin cut Lis throat with a razor. Ile is not expected to recover. The application to have the Duke of Ncwcastle made a bankrupt came again on Monday Laura the Commis sioner of Bankruptcy. Nothing, however, was done. A discusion as to whether the case ehould be postponed was settled by the appointment of the IBth cf October as the day in which the question whether a peer could be made a bankrupt should be argued. The foot and month disease is spreading through Surrey and Kent. At Wallingtun two hundred head of cattle have hen affectid. The trrniment ado! ted, under which cattle have grt qtly improved, is to have their mombs swabbed out night and morning with a gargle, cornio:ed of chlorate of potash and dilute sulph ic acid, and to feed them on mashes containing quantities of common salt. The as&zes for the county of Chester terminated on Saturday. Amongst the concluding cases dispoEed of were two actions for compensation against the Lond( n and North-Western Railway Comtany, in which the dnnil:Lres were assessed at £2CO and .! LOO rrspecticrly ; and a Ln ach of promise ease from Birkenhead, wherein a fair complainant lost not only a husband but her cause. A rerious collision occurred c n Saturday afternoon at Tinsley, near Sheffield, which resulted in several persons being injured. A passenger train of the Manchester, Shef field, and Lincolnshire Company ran into sane trucks which wire being shunted flora the main line to a siding. Several passengers were cut and bruised, and others were severely shaken. Mr. Hadfield, M.P., has taken the opinion of Mr. H. H. Dodgson, of the Thuile, as to whetLer under the act recently passed for exempting Sunday and Ragged Schools from rating such schools must be exempted, or whether it is left to the disctetion of the local authorities to exempt them or not. Counsel irclincs to the former view, but he says there is so great room for d( ut‘t vs to the mean ing of the act that it requires the ju4ineet of a court of law to settle it. At the. Central Criminal Court, btf6re Mr. Cern miseioner Kerr, on Monday, a man mimed Thomas Walo was indicted for manufacturing ecunt4 rf, it coin and keeping a house at Millburn-row, Holloway, for the making of it. The accused pleaded guilty and was sentenced to fifteen years penal servitude. No previous convictions were proved ; but the prisoner was well known to the police, who on searching the premises are said to have found between 2,00 or 3,000 counterfeit pieces. James Higgins and Isaac Harris, two labourers, of Leamington, well-known to the lolice, have been appre hended on a charge of night poael.irg and violet.tly assault ing Lord Willoughby de Broke's keepers. Early on Sun day morning the prisoners and others were found, by his lordship's keepers, poaching on Lis estate near Kinoton. A desperate struggle ensued, in which the keepers were injured and the men escaped. Some of them were pursued to Leam ington, where the above two mcn were apprehended, and another escaped by swimming across the Loam, near Leamington. VALUE OF SrAßßows.—A few years ago the streets of New York and Brooklyn were infested withbugs and worms that riddled all the vegetation, hung in great festoons from the trees, swung in the air on every side, drove the whole population from what was once the cool and comfortable shade, making the sunny side of the street the refuge of the pedestrian, and the parks no longer plea sure resorts, but nuisances. People were always dodging these pests in walking ; in the cars they picked them from each others' bonnets, in church from each others' backs. It was like a plague of Egypt, and people cryed out for a Moses. The little European house sparrow undertook that rae, anti was successively in troduced into the parks and open spaces, and everywhere its enemy and ours vanished before it. The difference in enjoyment between a summer in New York now and three years ago is very great, which difference of cemfort must be laid to the account of our faithful little ally. Sparrows are now seen in this country by the thousand, and not only are they scavengers of cities and keepers of parks—not only do they make streets habitable anti shade trues gratclal, but they are worth their weljt in gold to fruit-growers in the country round about. The only sufferers, indeed, by their domestication here are the comic papers, which used to be full of woodcuts describing the dis comforts—Adolphus making love to Angelina with a pair of the banished enemies hanging to the waxed ends of his moustache, she wearing a cluster of them cn chignon, and so on. All that resource is closed now for the humorous artists. But to the original question —are we ungrateful to our feathered friends? Not so, as one who walks through Central Park will see, observing the palaces we have built for them, or who ever glances of a morning at their original settlement in Union Perk—the Jamestown, so to speak, of these little colonists--and notes the hotels we have provided for our winged allies, while a steady old policeman is posted as faithful guardian of taeirrigats and interests below. .77.7 m 'gA' Antee, THE SUN, LONDON, 1 UESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 17, 1869. of the Yorkshire Board of Education, ana mules were told of classes which are just about to be opened for them. Physical geography and physiology are to be among the subjects of study. The Science and Art Department has taken the classes under their special care. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. LAND TENURE IN IRELAND. The Irish journals have opened the land-question campaign with much energy. The Nation earnestly points out the evil of delay. Tardiness may produce the worst consequences at the present crisis. "Above all, the principle with regard to land which the Irish landlords are so much in the habit of enunciating as just—that ' every man can and ought to be allowed to do what he likes with his own'— must be abandoned and thrown aside as untenable and immoral ; and that other, ' the soil belongs to the whole people and not to a few alone, must he sub stituted for it." The Conservative journals, how ever, by no means share the confidence of the .Nation, that Mr. Gladstone's Ministry will be able to make a satisfactory finish of the land-tenure topic. The Express compares the Conservative language used by Mr. Lowe in a debate on the sub ject with the supposed intention of the Cabinet to introduce a sweeping bill, and anticipates that, if persisted in, the result must be a break-up of the Liberal (3 over= en t. ELECTION NEWS. The supporters of Captain Seymour, the Conserva tive candidate for Antrim, have held a meeting at Belfast. The gallant Captain expressed his intention of supporting the repeal of the Party Processions Act. The Ballot would meet with his strenuous opposition. Referring to the land question, he ob served that he would gladly see a measure passed that would give to the tenant an adequate interest in the land on which he laboured and spent his capital. The Conservative party, he added, were quite willing to bring forward such measures as would really benefit the tenant. Mr. James C. Trail, nephew of the retiring member for Caithness, has issued his address to the electors of that county. He is a Liberal, and is in favour of "a scheme of national education, which, while based on Christian teaching, witho u t w hi c h a ll knowledge would appear to me to be valueless, shall be free from sectarian and denominational an tagonism, and shall secure the advantages of instruc tion to all classes of the community." Mr. Traill likewise advocates the removal of all restrictions in the exercise of the franchise. The electors seem much dissatisfied with Mr. Traill, senior, who, they complain, resigned after he had "agreed and arranged " to keep his seat. CONSERVATIVE DEMONSTRATION AT DDRNLEY. The Conservatives of Burnley had a grand day of it on Saturday. They presented a consolation testi monial to Lieutenant-General Sir J. Y. Scarlett, who contested the borough at the last election and failed to obtain a majority of votes. First they formed a procession through the town ; it was attended, the Manchester Courier says, by 10,000 persons. Having thus publicly declared their opinions, the immense crowd adjourned to a " monster tent, erected for the occasion," where "tea, bread and butter, and cake were provided." After tea came speeches. The testimonial—handed to General Scarlett by a working man—consisted of a pair of silver-gilt vases, towards the purchase of which more than 4,000 subscribers had given their " little mites." Among the speakers were Colonel W. Patten, M.P., Mr. Fowler, M.P., Mr. Cawley, M.P., Mr. J. M. Holt, M.P., Mr. Hornby, Sir T. Ileaketh, M.P., and Mr. C. Starkie, The usual commiseration at defeat was expressed, and the common complaint was made of the tyrant majority, which so long have been the stock subjects of Conservative speeches. THE ORANGEMEN. A great Orange demonstration took place at Hilton Park, Clones, on Saturday. The muster was not fewer than 130,000 persons, representing 140 lodges. Besolutions were passed censuring the Government for dismissing Captain Coote, the Iligh-Sheriff of Monaghan. The Irish Church Act was condemned, as well as the Party Processions Act. The Orange men'seem to have been exceptionally lively that day. There was a slight affray at Ballybay, though it did not terminate in any serious disturbance. Altogether the renorts from the North of Ireland for the last few days have been as satisfactory as possible. THE NEW BANKRUPTCY ACT. The new Bankruptcy Act has been issued, and will come into effect on the lst of January. Under its pro►-isions the jurisdiction in commercial matters will be transferred to a new court, of which one of the present conunissioners will be the chief judge, the post to be afterwards filled by a judge of the superior courts. As by this new measure the power of a debtor to make himself a bankrupt will be taken away, it is expected that there will be a great rush to the Gazette during +he next few months. People who ha►•e made a trade of declaring themsel►•es bankrupt will naturally desire to embrace the last opportunity. Next January the golden age comes to an end. The power of culling in the aid of the Bankruptcy Court will be transferred from the debtor to the creditor. or can the former obtain his order of discharge, except by the consent of his creditors, unless he have made up a minimum dividend of li's. in the pound. The status of an undischarged bankrupt is that no portion of a debt payable is to be enforced against the property of a bankrupt until the expiration of three years, and if, during that time, he makes up beyond the di►-idend 10s. in the pound, he is to ob tain his order of discharge, and, after three years, the debt proved is to be in the nature of a judgment debt, and may be enforced against the property of the debtor. Liquidation by arrangement and com position are also the subject of changes. IMPRISONMENT FOR DEPT. Companion to the Banliruptcy Dill is the measure for the Abolition of Imprisonment for Debt. This infliction, however, is not wholly done away with. There are certain exceptions, relating to payments of penalties recoverable before justices, for miscon duct, &c. Fraudulent debtors in bankruptcy or under liquidation for certain offences before juries can be imprisoned, with or without hard labour, and in the excepted cases before mentioned imprisonment is not to be longer than one year. For damages for seduction or breach of promise of marriage impri sonment is abolished. TRADES-UNION DEMONSTRATION. The locked-out miners of South Yorkshire obtained the use of Mr. Clapham's park, at Leeds, on Satur day, for an out-door demonstration. After the demonstration came a meeting, at which Mr. Alder man Carter, M.P., set forth the arguments on the strength of which he supported trades unions. U nicht was power ; without it the w.s Allan was weak, and at the mercy of the capitalise, Mr. Carter ridi culed some of the remarks in Kte report recently presented to Parliament, especially a sentence to the effect that disputes would soon be settled if it were not for trades unions. No doubt they would, said Mr. Carter, but how ? " Turn a great big capitalist out in opposition to a poor, slavish fellow, with all the consciousness of a wife and children starving, and how soon matters would be settled 1 " The sympathetic audience enjoyed this and similar sallies amazingly. The worthy Alderman condemned the House of Commons and the Government for not passing the Mines Inspection Bill. PRINCE AR Tllun. The "soldier Prince" has gone off to Canada. Ile evidently intends to get as varied an experience of the army as is possible, and to see a little of the world. Ile seems to have been generally much liked by his comrades; he is in the highest favour everywhere. In Canada, it is to be hoped, the good impressions that the people may get of him will not be removed by monetary disclosures. Those about him should teach Prince Arthur to pay his jeweller's bill, his furrier's account, and the reckoning at the club. He should bo impressed with the advice, " Don't give presents, and leave them for the State to pay for." TUE. PROPOSED VOLUNTEER VISIT TO BELGIUM. The Belgian Vice-Consul resident here points out that the invitation held out to English Volunteers to be present at the Lite Fates is not a national one, but emanates from the inhabitants of that town. It was first addressed to the Anglo-Belgian Committee at 'Wimbledon, in the hope that they would organise the visit, but this was declined. The Lite deputation then applied to Lord Elcho, who published the invitation in the papers, in order that it might have every chance of acceptance ; but the National Rifle Association had put up its shutters for the long vacation, and could do nothing. At last the Anglo-Belgian Committee undertook the work, and concessions from the railway companies were immediately obtained. Verily, w h a t w ith thi s beating about, and with letteis from English Volun teers, asking their brethren to decline going, on the ground that Englishmen aro not sufficiently hospi table to return the invitation, the good people of Lite seem to have met with scant courtesy. Is it quite impossible to return the invitation ? RELIGION IN THE " BLACK COUNTRY." The religious condition of the "Black Country" is exciting much interest throughout the Midland district. Recent statistics disclose the fact that the Church provides only for 13 per cent, of the popula tion—for 4(3,000 out of 360,000. Everyone is agreed as to the amount of ignorance, vice, and spiritual destitution which at present prevails ; and the movement recently commenced for raising a fund towards the erection of churches and the carry fie); on of religious woe: is being earnestly and energetically conducted. Meanwhile, in the comfortable churches already erected, the congrega tions are quarrelling among themselves as to whether or not the Psalms shall be chanted. One vicar, of Wolverhampton, who endeavoured to introduce a musical service, has been so opposed that he has announced his intention of resigning. FEMALE EDUCATION LEI LEEDS. The female education movement seems to be making way in Leeds. A meeting of schoolmistresses 11 ' 14 rgeillibl-bitancallectiozether tinder the Ausnices EMIGRATION. Major-General Sir W. Denison, convinced that the population of England has outgrown the resources of the country, is apprehensive that, if a trenchant remedy be not applied, the condition of this country will speedily resemble that of France before the Revo lution. Theinhabitantswillconsist of amass of paupers on one side of the social scale, and a scanty body of very rich people on the other side. As the Major- General takes a more alarming view of the evil than most people, so his cure is proportionately severe. He favours emigration, but objects to landing people on the shores of a colony without resources. "The movement, if the scheme is to be a national one—and this it must be if it is to be productive of any benefit to the country—must find capital as well as labour ; must not only export the labourers, but provide the means of employing them when they arrive at their destination; must be prepared to house them, clothe and feed them, till their labour proves productive.' No doubt plenty of emigrants could be got on these terms. In fact, the difficulty would be, not to find people to emigrate, but to make the selection from the multitude who would like to be housed, clothed, and fed " until they be came productive." SMALL CRAFT. The example of the Rob Roy Canoe—like all other eccentric examples—has produced the inevitable mania for doing the greatest possible distances in the smallest possible craft. Lord Southwell, Mr. I)igby, M.P., and two other gentlemen have started for Europe taking with them a neat little steam launch. With this vessel, weighing about four tons, they propose to traverse some 3,000 miles on the great rivers of Europe, terminating their journey on the Suez Canal. The Danube will be " done " from the Black Forest to the Black Sea. CATTLE DISEASE. Several correspondents affirm that the foot and mouth disease is spreading in Surrey and Kent. One writer says : " I believe I shall be far under-estimat ing the number now affected by it at 200 head ; in many cases the mouth only has been affected, while in others the feet also have suffered. I have been told that it has also extended to pigs which have had the milk of a diseased cow given to them." All agree that the outbreak is assuming a very serious aspect, and that stringent measures ought to be taken to prevent it spreading. A MOTHER DESERTING HER CHILD. By a recent case—a charge against a mother of abandoning her child—heard at Brierley Hill, Staf fordshire, a singular and not altogether satisfactory state of the law was disclosed. The mother was seen in a lane about half a mile from the place where she resided, about six o'clock in the morning, and near the place where she was s een a new-born child was found lying on the other side of a hedge. The men who found the infant conveyed it to the nearest police-station, where it has ever since been thriving. There was no doubt that the child was that of the woman who was charged with thus abandoning it, but nevertheless the bench discharged the woman. The magistrates could not have done otherwise. The section of the Act under which the charge was laid requires it to be proved that in the case of a child being abandoned its life shall be endangered, and its health have been, or likely to be, permanently injured. The medical man who gave evidence in the case deposed that the life of the - child had not been endangered, and that its health was not permanently injured. Thus if an unnatural mother leaves her newborn infant in a field, and someone accidentally picks it up in time to save its life and permanent injury to its health, there is no law that can reach the unnatural mother. THE DAGENHAM DOCKS. No sooner was Mr. Lowe's determination not to allow these works to be opened made known than a petition was presented for winding up the Dagen ham Dock Company. The position of the ques tion is simply this. The company have expended £170,000 on the faith of three Acts of Parliament. The Commissioners of Customs, notwithstanding these Acts, refuse to give the usual license for land ing goods. Their refusal is based on grounds which might have been, and doubtless were, considered by Parliament when the Acts were passed. Wo have thus th 3 anomaly of the supreme power in the Legislature being overruled by a subordinate department, and with this grievous injustice, that the money expended under the autho rity of Parliament is rendered useless, and shareholders and creditors who relied upon the good faith of the Government lose every farthing of their money. A new element of r:sli is thus introduced which will limit still further the development of industrial enterprise. Mr. Lowe has taken upon himself to suspend the erection of the Law Courts and to stop the Dagenham Docks at a time when labourers are starving for want of employment, and capitalists are unable to find adequate employment for their money. THE COINAGE. Mr. Hubbard approves, to a certain e tent, of Mr. Lowe's project of levying a mintage, or charge for converting coin into money. So far back as 1843 Mr. Hubbard recommended that a charge of P,d. per ounce be levied. This percentage would cover the cost of coinage, which is all that the Mint ought to look for. Such a small charge would have only an unimportant effect upon the conditions under which the import and export of bullion is arranged. If IN ew York now exports bullion to London when the quotation is above 110, and imports gold when the exchange is under 1071, she would thereafter export when the exchange was above 1l0"20 and import when it was under 107.70, but the range of the effective par of exchange would remain unaltered. The foreigner having a payment to make to this country would no longer enjoy the excep tional and unreasonable advantage of having his raw commodity manufactured into legal coin at the cost of the English nation, and he alone could lament the alteration. But Mr. Hubbard disapproves of Mr. Lowe's scheme to charge so much as twopence for coining each sovereign, as likely t o h ave a prejudi cial effect in disturbing trade transactions. SYSTEMATISF.D CRIME. Another instance of the organised system of rob bery carried on in London was afforded at the East end on Saturday morning. A man committed a daring highway robbery, and was seized by a police man. After a vain struggle to escape by his own force, the fellow summoned assistance by calling out " Rouse ! " The war-cry seemed to be recognised. Several men and two women did " rouse," and assailed the policeman and the prosecutor with much violence, beating them severely. But at this moment a great and unexpected phenomenon occurred : more policemen made their appearance, and the robber and one of the confederates who came to the rescue were secured. The affray ended in the discomfiture of the rogues ; but in how many cases can the prompt appearance of extra policem en b e re lied on, thinly scattered as they aro ? This, however, was not the only example that day of the style in which criminal proceedings in London are carried on. A gentleman who was passing down a narrow thoroughfare leading directly into Fleet -street was set upon by two men and successfully garotted during the hours of business ! The operation was in every sense complete; one fellow seized the victim by the throat so tightly as to prevent any outcry, and the other held his arms whilst the first with his disengaged hand did the work of plunder. The little money the gentleman had upon him was taken, and the robbers got clear off. FOREIGN' NOTES. CATTLE FLAGUE ABROAD. The North German Correspondent says that cattle plague broke out in the district of F r ankfort•on-the•Oder during the last days of July. It was introduced by a herd of cattle from East Prussia. The strictest measures have bee.n adopted to prevent the infection being carried further, and the villages attacked have been closed by a military cordon to all trade in cattle and fodder. It is hoped that the plague will soon be extinguished. The Austrian Chancellor seems to have done his best to bring about a quarrel with Prussia. A special tele. gram informs us that a pamphlet which has just been published at Pesth is said to have been inspired by Count Beust, for the purpose of exciting the Hungarians against Prussia in case of war. The organ of the Peak, or Mini;- terialist, party, however, protests energetically against the hostile policy of Count Beust towards Prussia, and similar censure is passed by the journal representing the Hungarian Opposition. AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA. Baron Cahlenz has sent a letter to the Berlin journals in which he gives a complete contradiction to the state ments of the Oa:We de Sax, with reference to the commu nications that took place in 186 G between the sovereigns of Austria and Prussia. It was stated that the Baron had been the medium of the correspondence that had taken place, but he emphatically declares that at no time was he ordered to convey a letter to the Austrian Emperor from the King of Prussia, and that he was never in a position to take a letter from Francis Joseph to his master the King of Prussia. The Prussian Moniteur denies the assertions of the Saxon Gazette respecting the correspondence said to have taken place. It adds that no idea of a common attack being made on France was enter tained by either Prussia or Austria. M. de Thile, the Foreign Minister of Prussia, in the absence of M. Bismarck, has sent a despatch in answer to the declarations of Baron Bengt, which aipears fAt one of tne mgac acprac.WII4IIIIIMCWIIIIInAune Prussian diplomatists have yet produced. tt upnoms tne right of Prussia to make treaties with the Southern States, and its concluding passages, expressive of good-will towards Austria, are couched in ironical terms. THE RUSSIANS IN ASIA. According to the Times of India, intelligence has reached the Indian Government that the whole of the Kirghis tribes south of Orenburg have risen against the Russians. It is said that they have succeeded in cutting off the Russian military stations, which form a quadrilateral to the east of the sea of Oral, from every source of relief. The Russian military force in this part does not exceed 2,000 men, while the whole number of troops in the vast territory between Orenburg and Taskend is comparatively small. The Turcoman tribes north of the Hindoos Koosh are thought to be preparing for a simultaneous uplifting of the green standard for a jedad, or religious war, against the Russians. The posi tion of the latter in Central Asia is serious, and the Czar and his Ministers are said to regard it with grave anxiety. This news is repeated by other Indian journals, so that there appears to be good foundation for the report. All accounts agree that the Russian force in those regions is much below the European estimate. BURMAII. Our relations with the King of Burmah are not alto gether satisfactory. His 'Majesty is decidedly hostile to the English, and resents the clause in the treaty which empowers the British political agent to hold a court at Mandalay for civil suits between British residents, and to decide, jointly with a Burmese officer, any civil case between Burmese and British. The King's Minister for Foreign Affairs attempted to evade this treaty in a letter to Cal- cutta, written, it is said, in an insolent strain. The Indian Government, however, have succeeded in bringing the Burmese to their senses, for the latest news informs us that the King has " cheerfully agreed "to the opening of the court. As he is known to have given his sanction to attempts on the life of the British representative, this indicates a change for the better. THE WAIIABEES IN INDIA. Arrests of great importance have been made at Dina• pore, which will enable the Government to complete the cases against the Wahabees. Papers have been discovered establishing beyond all doubt the complicity of one of the wealthiest Mahomedan traders in Calcutta in the move• ment. THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH. The Duke of Edinburgh is expected to spend about three weeks in Calcutta, arriving in the middle of December. Great preparations are being made fir the Durbar at Agra, after which the Viceroy will take his royal guest to Lucknow, Lahore, and the Central Provinces. Distress to a large extent prevails in the Punjab, and Government has bad to make large remissions of revenue. JAPAN. The Afessager Franco-American gives more favourable accounts of the state of affairs in Japan than those lately received. It confirms the capture of Hakodadi by the Imperialists, and states that the rebellion is altogether subdued, that the power of the Mikado is fully established, and that the greater number of the Deimios have voluntarily renounced their feudal rights. Letters from Japan express some uneasiness lest the Japanese Government, when victorious against its adver saries in the North, should turn its forces against the Europeans. THE WAR IN SOUTH AMERICA. Intelligence from a Brazilian source states that the Provisional Government is definitely organised at Assun cion, and that General MacMahon had left Lopez and returned thither, traversing the allied lines. News from a Paraguayan channel reports from the seat of war that the Allies had been forced to suspend their military opera tions. The Paraguayans had retaken the town of Rosario, in Upper Paraguay, and had at the same time captured a Brazilian vessel laden with arms and ammunition. TUE NEW YORK AND LONDON PR,ESS. The New York Journal of Commerce lately dis cussed the establishment of daily newspapers in New York, showing the reasons whys° manystart and fail. The true cause is, we think, the same in New York as in London, where there already exist organs ably representing every party and shade of opinion. To start a new journal is to enter into competition with these, the ground being occupied wherever the projectors may turn. Hence the necessity for au enormous capital to start a newspaper equal to those already worked by time, talent, and money, into efficiency, and to keep that paper afloat till it has become self-supporting; hence, too, the fifty five failures in New York city within the third of a century. It has been tried in vain again and again in London, where some of the efforts were so ridiculous that the projectors, to escape the uni versal belief in their folly, ought to tell the secret history of the attempt. Such, for instance, was The Day; such, too, was The Evening Mercury, The Little 7 lines, and many other failures. The outlay to Set up a morning paper is far beyond that required for au evening paper, therefore the small failures are in the afternoon, the great failures before breakfast. In a rapidly rising American town an enterprising printer may on slender ma terial successfully establish a daily paper, but the reason of his success lies in the unoccupied field. Where there is no opposition there is no better procurable, and the citizens accept and support what they can get. The little sheet with its " snippety" articles and big sensational headings sprawled over the paper, grows with population and has soon to face a rival. In the course of time the community becomes a great city, and the chances are that the little sheet which first made its appear ance there, has expanded into a leading organ, covering pages with well-written articles and re views, with telegrams and special reports. Let any one then attempt" to run" a daily paper in the same city, and, unless heavily backed, the failure of the enterprise will be quick and disastrous, the money expended being utterly lost. The Journal of Com merce is then within the truth in saying that to main tain a daily in New York, such as would have the least chance of surviving the struggle, would require an expenditure of nearly $l,OOO per diem ; and to begin with any hope of success the capital ought to be at the least from a half to three-quarters of a million of dollars. Then good judgment must be shown in the expenditure, boldness, and sagacity, while if there be a weakness or want of tact deve loped at any stage, and without favouring circum stances, no outlay can make the organ profitable. Rendered into English money, what the New York paper states, is that no person without the highest capacity for the work and lucky, could be successful in establishing a daily paper in that city with £125,000 to expend on the task ; and those who know what the papers are against which lie would have to compete are aware that there is no exagge ration in the estimate. The daily newspapers of New York are, we believe, the best in the world, taking them all in all. This statement may surprise many of our English readers who are not acquainted with these journals, but those who best know them as well as of London and Paris, will, we dare say, cor roborate what we state. The dailies of the Empire City have steadily and rapidly improved, while those of London have remained in state quo, the en terprise of the New York management being greatly aided by the introduction of the telegraph. The Times of London is an exceptional paper, nothing like it existing elsewhere. It may be said in a cer tain sense officially to express the opinion of Eng land, and it is accepted abroad, and even often at home, as England's voice. A paper attaining to such a power, wholly independent of the rulers of the coun try, is elsewhere unknown to journalism, and this weight in public affairs is backed by a revenue far beyond that of any other paper in the world. Such a journal must, as a matter of course, be well and very carefully written, free from errors, and printed on good material. 'With these requirements it fully complies ; but a newspaper means the vending of news, and as a gatherer and distributor of news the Thnes cannot be compared with the Herald of New York or any of the leading dailies of that city. In the essential particular then of journalism it is mani festly inferior, and although when important events occur the Times has always at hand a reporter and a correspondent of the highest journalistic talent to be desipatchcd to the spot at any expense, yet taking the every-day events of life we hold it to be in ferior in its reports to such a paper as the New YOrlc Tribune. The waste of space and of work in publishing in all the dailies the speeches in Parlia ment show a want of system in the London press. Parliament ought itself to print and distribute throughout the country its own debates, as Con gress does, leaving the dailies to give the principal speeches, to summarise the proceedings, and to comment thereon in leading articles. Instead of this we take up the Telegraph, the Standard, the News, the Star, and turn sheet after sheet with the weary jug eamenebß of the wholly unimportant re- marks of hon. members meaning nothing, and per haps intended merely to delay and frustrate a mea sure. When the time comes that the voice of the hon. members is beard only on the hills of Scot land, at the Spas of Germany, and at their country seats, the " Silly Season" commences, in irony so called we presume, for the fact is precisely the re verse. The great dailies then fill in the vacant space with ponderous reviews and long wearying letters from correspondents. Compare one, either before or after Parliament adjourns, with its fellow in New York, and the enterprise of the latter is marked in either case. We take up the last Tribune which has reached us up to the date at which we write (that of Thursday, July 29), and we find the first co lumn devoted to the Cuban revolution, giving all the intelligence received both at Washington and at the office of the paper, dated llavannah, July 23. This is followed by the accident on the Mem phis and Louisville Railroad, received by telegraph from Louisville, giving an account of the catas trophe, and a list of those killed and wounded. Then come the telegrams from San Francisco, July 27th and 28th, Chicago, Memphis, Saratoga, White Sulphur Springs, July 28th ; the usual telegraph despatch from the 'Washington correspondent oc cupying half of the next column, together with the Central Press despatch from the same city. Another half column is devoted to telegraphic items from all parts of the country. Then ap pear the foreign despatches, beginning with Lon don, Wednesday night, July 28 ; that is, the night before the paper was published. This is followed by the letter of the London correspondent, and then by the telegraph news from the rest of Europe ; Spain, Prussia, Switzerland ; Paraguay, via London ; and Japan ; together with the congratulations between the Emperor of the FRENCH and the PRESIDENT on the success of the French Cable ; long Paris and Lon don letters ; besides one from Glasgow relating a visit to the country of 'WALTER SCOTT. The foreign news by mail follows, with extracts from the British and Continental press, and this is succeeded by a sermon preached by BRIGHA3I YOUNG in Salt Lake City. A full, true, and particular account of the Mammoth Cave adjoins ; with the river system of China. The next page is devoted to local affairs, the Customs, Courts, shipping, municipal proceed ings, &c. ; and then there is a page of notes, and leading articles, headed by a resume of what the paper contains. These articles, as a rule, are shorter than those of the London papers, but they are often pithy, and nearly always forcibly written. Some are extremely amusing, more humourous than anything in comic journals; but others show the chief blot on American journalism, personalities. The World reproduces the libel of another paper that the Tribune's Editor had gone to Albany in the VANDERBILT interest to straighten out a crooked Senator, whereon It G. replies that the print in question is one with little circulation, and less cha racter, and that once for all he desired to state that the author of the paragraph is an habitual and self proclaimed liar, whereon Mr. HASTINGS, the Editor aimed at, retorts with something a little stronger than the to quoque. Again— " Second-rate journals which feel a necessity for find ing some different Republican ground to stand on from that occupied by The Tribune, as an excuse for their exist ence, are welcome to whatever small pother they can raise over these declarations. . . . The snarls of two or three of them at The Tribune may pass without notice— every creature must enjoy himself after his kind." The fifth page reports the proceedings of the Convention of the Philologists of Poughkeepsie, New York, July 27 ; that is followed by a terrible acci dent which occurred the night before, the disaster at St. Joseph's Church, and an accident at Newark. There is a column of Personal Items, home and foreign ; and another column devoted to the City personal news. Two columns are given up to Sport, opening with an account of the Goodwood Races, extending over half a column, giving the particulars of the runnings on the two previous days to that on which the paper was published. Although there are as many words by cable in this account as the whole telegraph news from all parts of the world in the Times of an ordinary day, it is in an out-of-the way part of the paper, simply headed, "The Turf, London, July 28 ;" the races on the Union Course, Long Island; cricket and base ball, with the matches made, fill up the remaining two columns. The Mo ney Market takes nearly half a page with stock quo tations and trade. Comparing this paper with any daily in England, we find that it contains more telegrams by far, more copious reports, more ori ginal matter than any but the Times showing more type set up for the issue. The Tribune costs four eats, which valuing a dollar in coin means two pence, and therefore is more expensive than the Ncws, Telegraph, and Standard, but not so high priced as the Times, Post, Morning Advertiser, or Herald. Though the want of enterprise is marked generally in English journalism when compared with that of America it is less marked between the lead ing newspapers of such towns as Manchester, Liver pool, and Glasgow, compared with those of Phi ladelphia, Chicago, and Boston. The provincial press of England has improved more rapidly than the metropolitan press. Indeed the metropolitan press has not improved at all, except in the esta blishment of the Pall Mall Gazette, whereas many provincial papers have much improved, availing themselves to a great extent of the telegraph ; hence they stand the comparison better. The enterprise of the New York journals is conspicu ous in the liberality with which they expend mo. ney to supply the, public with information on all subjects likely to be of interest or of value. A correspondent is despatched to the head-quarters of the insurgents at Cuba ; the orders of a second are to take a tour through the districts of the South where most of the disturbances occurred, and to report fully on the cause, the feelings now prevailing, and the material prospects. A third is sent to San Francisco to trace out the course of Chinese immigration, the pursuits, habits, advan tages, and demerits of the Celestials as settlers. Nor do these papers confine their attention to such im portant subjects only. Scarcely a week passes without the publication of a valuable and exhaus tive report on some branch of industry, the details of which could only be gathered by extensive travel and correspondence. Those who read the New York papers cannot but be struck with their great superiority in this respect, almost as marked as in that of their news by telegraph. Journals thus conducted enlist the whole body of the people as readers, leav ing no room for interlopers, and little for periodical and even weekly publications. Hence the truth of the statement that there is small chance of success in attempting to compete against them, and nearly every trial ends in a great loss. Those existing can supply the widest demands, the peculiarity of journal ism being that once the paper is established, but lit tle more work is required to furnish 100,000 copies over the supply of 20,000. In other business the limits are narrow beyond which it is dangerous to expand, as extension is attended with enormous labour and ex pense ; but, supposing every broad shade of opinion to be represented, the whole population being supplied by the existing establishments, success can only be bought by taking away the readers of the olderjour nals. This, as a rule, is to the prejudice of the public, for it must be economical for one powerful organ to circulate 150,000 copies, rather than for three sepa- rate establishments to circulate three different papers, the expense of the three being far beyond that of the one, with the more efficient staff and a vast deal more news. The public feel it directly in another way. Those who want to reach, by adver tisement, the readers of the one journal circulating [50,000 copies, if it be broken up into three, have .o advertise in the three papers, at an outlay for each of little less than what it would have cost in the one to do the whole. Nothing tends to demo- raliz. journalism so much as an undue competition, particularly in small places, and this has greatly injured the provincial press of America. The metro politan papers can take care of themselves, for they are almost unapproachable, and beyon 1 the reach of competitors, but among the small fry the case dif- 'ers. Nor can it be contended that the Echo would have done any good to any one if in forcing the Pall Mall Gazette down to a penny, it had run that paper rito an inferior organ to what it had been at two- pence ; but if it pays the proprietors of the Pall Mall to supply a paper at a penny, kept up to the mark of the twopenny issue, the public will have benefited. Further, they cannot, for these papers are trespassing on very borders of what it ~, is possible to do, and any further competition 0 : 1 only end disastrou s ly t o a ll, w hil e i t may b e dnubt , if the present ra t e can b e ma i nta i ne d . —A ng lo-Alg e rican Times. ners' The Alta California, reviewing the mining or te, tions of the past six m on th s, says o f t h e M ar iposa e3 O about which so much has lately been written : e d, working of the mines of Mariposa estate has been rest lll3 4 There are now sixty-si x stamps crus hi ng a t the n el3 b l Mills, and a new 60 stamp mill h as b een cernmenced.
