SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Times ,is puzzled to know where the chief speakers at the Willis's Rooms meeting got their facts, though it allows them some method in their logic. Lord Harrowby declared his strong conviction that the majority of the people of England was not properly represented by the House of Commons, and that the people were taken by surprise at the last election. Peers who entertain these beliefs are justified in voting against the Lill ; but what can induce a man to believe such con- clusions, except a foregone resolution to believe them? Can the men who opposed the principle of the bill last year now come forward and say that they neglected to use their opportunities during the months of summer and autumn, and the people were taken by surprise? Lord Ifa,rrowby's belief is explicable only by reference to the mysterious power of the will in inducing us to hold con eluiions of fact in the teeth of all evidence to the contrary. To the same influence must be attributed the declaration of Lord John Manners, that the mind and heart of the nation are with the Opposition in resisting the Irish Church Bill ; and the statement of the Duke 0 Abercorn, that if the House of Lords rejected the Irish Church Bill their action would meet with the national approval, as expressing the real and matured wish of the country. It seems to us—we do not wish to say anything unnecessarily offensive—that people who can believe such things can believe anything they have a desire to believe. But the nation cannot be arrested in its course by these delusions. If the holders of them are insufficient in number to obstruct the policy of the country, they may be allowed to grow out of them in peace. If, on the contrary, they are numerous enough to be able to check for a determinate season the operation of the national will, it will be necessary that the power of the nation shall be immediately evoked to override, by the methods indicated by corresponding precedents, the oppo sition of an infatuated minority to the consummation of the national policy, In spite of the warlike gathering at Willis's Rooms, the 7'eleuraph still refuses to believe that the majority of the Conservative party in the House of Peers can delibe rately persist in so mad a course. It cannot suppose the Tory noblemen of England to be so blind to the interests of their own order—not to speak of the interest of the Irish Church. If the Duke of Rutland and the Duke of Abercorn were as powerful as they are Vehement, they would be the Robespierres of the English Peerage. But there is no sufficient reason to believe that the suicidal advice will be followed ; and indeed every day is strengthening the number of those Tory Peers who say, " Pass the bill, and then amend it in committee." Moreover, a second doubt has arisen—the really grave question whether, if the Opposition majority be narrowed to insignificant dimen sions, it would not be the sounder policy, even for the "No Surrender " force, to avoid an untoward display of its diminished ranks. Under these circumstances, the Tele graph asks if it is not justified in the expectation which it has always maintained—that Time will fight on the side of Reason, that wisdom will finally prevail, and that the House of Lords, after mature consideration, will allow the bill to go into committee ? The Post, in referring to the catastrophe of the Duke of Newcastle, asks if it is not almost inconceivable that these things should be done, not once, not twice, but again and again and again, and that even bitter personal experience has no deterrent effect, and that no amount of burning, no repetition of it, imparts any dread of the fire to the child of the Betting Ring. It is true that dukes and mar quises and earls are not the only men who gamble. The Stock Exchange does it every day and all day, so do many so-called great merchants, so do the boys in the street who play pitch and toss and worry the police on Sun days ; but, barring the last, who are homeless, hopeless vagabonds, it is the business of the Stock Exchange men and the merchants, and although they often do that business recklessly, and even dishonestly, still it is their business by which they live, and there are no particular considerations arising from position and higher duties which make their speculations ordinarily a %, scandal. A plunging duke who puts himself upon a level with Mr. Padwick or a professional racing-man in the Ring must be a scandal some day or other. There is no reason why a nobleman should not race ; there is no reason why he should not support the Turf. He may do both, as many have done—as Lord Derby, Lord Exeter, Lord Glasgow, Lord Palmerston, Lord George Bentinck, the Duke of Portland, General Peel have done—with advantage to the country and with honour to themselves ; but these men never touched the pitch of the Turf and they have never been defiled. Had the Duke of New castle been content to take to heart the lesson that the Earl of Lincoln, one would have thought, could have taught him, he might have been in position, character, Ind usefulness as those noblemen and gentlemen have been e.nd are. The Standard concurs with the Duke of Argyll in thinking it an evil at the present moment to submit the constitution of the house of Lords to the conside ration of the other House by sending down the Life Peerages Bill. It thinks, however, that the tone in which the noble duke himself has seen fit to discuss the subject is a greater evil still. Most heartily does it applaud Lord Salisbury's manly repudiation of the overstrained humility which thl Duke of Argyll displayed. It is not proper that at such a time as this the House of Lords should make " an unrestricted profession of subservience to another branch of the Legislature." It is improper for m )re reasons than one ; but, amongst others, because it is not true that the House of Lords is subordinate to the Commons. It may be subordinate to the nation, as Lord Salisbury frankly declared ; but the House of Commons is sometimes a very different thing from the nation, and nothing is more important, at a time when the action of the House of Lords is likely to give rise to great excite ment, than a clear comprehension of this difference. The House of Commons is certainly the mouthpiece of the nation, and it may be hoped that as a general rule the voice of the House of Commons is that of the nation ; but at any time the House is liable to fall away from the principles which animate the people, to get out of tune with the country, and when in this condition it wculd be a misfortune indeed for us all if the House of Lords were unable to act with independence. That House would hardly acquire a representative cha racter by such additions to its ranks as are contemplated by Lord Russell's bill, and constituted as it is of men, almost all of whom have grown used to the responsibilities of power amongst their own tenantry, and to the transac tion of public business upon their estates, besides being permeated through and through with the highest culture of the age, they may, perhaps, dispense with the neces sity of being representative of anything more than those elements in the nation which they are fortunate enough to represent by the will of Providence—its territorial wealth and its intellectual and moral culture. The Daily News directs attention to the result of the elec tion petitions, and says that at the present moment no fewer than six boroughs in England and Ireland are par tially, or entirely, deprived of parliamentary representa tion, and eight seats in the House of Commons, some of them for cities of no mean importance, are vacant, and will probably continue so during this session. They in clude some of the mostnotorious offenders of past elections, viz.:—Beverley, (2), Bridgwat er (2), N orw i c h (1) , D u bli n (1), Cashel and Sligo. With the exception of the two large cities, which are only partially disfranchised, and which we may anticipate, from their having fairly elected one representative, will be spared the extreme penalty of the law, it is impossible to doubt what the fate of these boroughs will be. It is not merely that they have been proved guilty upon evidence admitted to be imperfect, but their previous history and notorious fame render the issue of an inquiry into their general political conduct much more certain than a trial before an election judge can ever be. Public opinion is, moreover, vividly alive to the necessity of cutting at the root of electoral corruption ; and in the instances of Lancaster and Great Yarmouth the House of Commons shewed its distrust of any punish ment short of total extinction, when corrupt practices are thoroughly ingrained in the political system of a borough. It is evident that the present system has a far better chance of maintaining its ground if grievous blots such as these grossly corrupt boroughs are removed, and their representative privileges are conferred upon the rising towns which were somewhat unjustly excluded from the settlement of the Reform Bill. Whether, therefore, from a Conservative or reforming point of view, the issue of these commissions seems equally important ; and while we confidently hope that the House will re-enact the severe, though just, sentence of the late Parliament, we trust that they will seek by a wise distribution of these forfeited privileges to redeem from some of its blemishes the imper fect settlement of last year. The Times is glad to find from the reports of the recent meeting that the agitation against the liquor traffic is taking a more moderate course, and thinks that a conference, if sufficiently representative, might be a very useful preliminary to legislation on this subject. It ought not, however, to be a mere expression of opinion with a view to more effective combination. Its principal value would be found in the contributions of experience it might offer us. The conference just concluded was not all that could be wished in this respect. It is very easy to obtain theories on this subject, but very hard to get at facts. One cannot but receive, for instance, with some hesitation the sweep ing assertions of the clergy and some other temperance advocates respecting the extent to which the evils of the working class may be traced to d rink. It is possible, no d o ubt, to improve the present liquor laws, but it is equally certain the real remedy for drunkenness must be found in the gra , lual improvement of the lower classes themselves. Unless this he done, it will Le hypos. sib!e by any laws to keep them from the means of intoxi cation, and if it be dune a great niai,y re strictions now proposed will be needless. The j'i,, , e..y thinls that the supervision 3f public-houses is very properly entrusted to those who have to administer the law. The magistrates act upon distinct grounds, which the people can appreciate, and since offences arising from intoxication are brought before them, they have the best means of knowing wh ere and when the danger exists. If, on the contrary, an elected body of rate payers were entrusted with a censorship to be exercised according to certain suppositions of what is good for the parish, their control might easily assume the character of a social tyranny. In a word, the only principle on which, in a free country, this traffic can be dealt with is that of leaving it as free as is possible without danger. The opposite principle is that of restricting it as far as is possible without provoking a reaction. This is the spirit in which the subject is approached by most Of the so-called ; " Temperance" advocates, but it can never be accepted by Parliament. i THE MOLD RIOT. Between one and two o'clock on Wednesday morning the police apprehended four more of the rioters, as they were lying in their beds, and at eleven o'clock they, with the six prisoners who were remanded on Monday, were brought before the magistrates at the County Hall, Mold, which was crowded to excess. The chief constable, Mr. Browne, deposed that prisoners from Mold are usually conveyed by road to Flint Gaol, which is about six miles distant, but he considered it was necessary, under the circumstances, to send the two prisoners whose rescue was attempted by the mob by railway to Chester, thus taking them into another county. John William Linnet, reporter, Chester, stated in his cross examination that he heard firing before the magistrate called out, " Fire." The first shot was fired from the telegraph office, and witness saw a man fall mortally wounded. That man was the deceased William Bellis. Witness considered that life was in great danger in every part of the railway station, and was apprehensive that the police and military would be overpowered. After a deal of evidence had been given the magistrates said they were disposed to treat the case as one of riot and assault. They did not consider they had sufficient evidence against the prisoners Tatham and Benjamin Gibbon, and they would be discharged. With regard to Roberts, he was spoken to only by one person, and the magistrates thought there was a mistake in that, and they would release him upon bail. The magistrates, after hearing Mr. Eyton for the defence, who urged that the military had no more right to do any more than private citizens, inasmuch as it had been proved that the military had fired without orders, committed the prisoners for trial at the next Flintehire assizes. THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE. Mr. Baron Martin had before him at Chambers on Wednesday, tl:e case of "Padwick v. the Duke of Newcastle, Beyfus v. the Duke of Newcastle, and Peters v. the Duke of Newcastle." The cases, on inter pleader applications, came before his lordship in reference to the executions levied at the ancestral seat, Clumber, Nottinghamshire, and also at Carlton-houb3- terrace. The several parties attended before the learned judge, and the discussion occupied nearly a couple of hours. A list of property at Clumber was produced by Mr. Taylor, on which no claim was set up. It consisted of live stock and other property which had been advertised for sale. Besides the " heirlooms," set out in extensive inventories at Clumber and Carlton-house-terrace, there was other property, which was claimed by Mr. Gladstone and Lord de Tabley under a bill of sale, under which a claim was made on the 19th May. On that day the Sheriff of Nottinghamshire had levied at the suit of Mr. Padwick, and the question was now raised as to the property seized under that bill of sale.—Mr. Baron Martin said he supposed no money was advanced on that day to the Duke of Newcastle by Mr. Gladstone or Lord De Tabley. —Mr. Ouvry, solicitor for the trustees, answered in the negative. It was to protect certain preperty which was claimed by them as trustees.—Mr. Norcott, for Mr. Peters, disputed the claim of Mr. Padwick.—Mr. Tidy said he had an affi davit of the claim to £89,009. Some racehorses had been sold to Mr. Padwick by the Duke of Newcastle, and were seized under the executions.—Mr. Baron Martin, after a long discussion, gave Mr. Norcott an issue on certain con ditions.—Mr. Tidy declined to contest the claim made by Mrs. Hope as to property she claimed at Carlton•house terrace.—Mr. Abrahams said, as second execution creditor, he would contest the right. Mr. Padwick had a security on the life interest of the duke, and with his execution he might have enforced it.—Mr. Charles Bowen produced an affidavit of the claim of Mrs. Hope, but he wished to state that, although the property was all her own, the claim should have been made in the name of the trustees of her late husband.— Mr. Abrahams said he had an affidavit, and the present case must be treated as an ordinary case.—His lordship said he should treat the case as if the Duke of Newcastle was a chimney-sweeper. —The affidavit of Mr. S. B. Abrahams, of Burlington gardens, was read, with advances by Mrs. Hope to the Duke of Newcastle, and on other matters.--The learned judge decided that the claim should be contested, and the solicitors for Mrs. Hope to give an undertaking that the articles should be forthcoming if required.—A question was raised as to the sale of the property taking place at Carlton-house-terrace. Both Mr. Tidy and Mr. Abra hams insisted that it should take place there, as the life interest of the Duke in the house was to be sold.—Mr. Baron Martin said he could make no order on the subject. The sheriff could do as he thought proper. LATV AND POLICE. AN ALIEN CASE.—In the Vice-Chancellor's Court, on Wednesday, a suit of some interest was tried before Vice- Chancellor Stuart, A bill was filed by Mr. Sharp, the trustee of some property, and its object was to determine whether the Baron de St. Lanvetir, being a foreigner, who had married an English lady, was entitled under her will to the benefit of a life interest in a bequest of some land at Ealing. An alien being by law incapable of holding land in England, the case turned entirely upon the question whether the property was to be treated as real or as personal estate. As real estate the bequest to the baron was void, and the property, being copyhold, either went the customary heir or escheated to the Crown. As personal estate the Baron was entitled to a life inte rest. The Vice-Chancellor, after referring to the par ticulars of the deeds affecting the case, said that it was evident the lady's intention was to give the property to her husband, and be felt bound to put such a construction on the will as would give effect to that inten tion. He should, therefore, declare that the property was disposed of as personalty, and that the husband was entitled to a life interest in the proceeds of the sale. A MORTGAGE DIFFICULTY. —In the case " Perrin v. Burbey," before Vice-Chancellor Alalins, a bill was filed on behalf of an infant to set aside a mortgage which had been given by the trustees of her late mother's marriage settle ment, on the ground that such mortgage was taken with knowledge of the settlement. The principal question in the case was whether a person having an equitable interest in an estate was entitled to priority over another person who subsequently obtained an equitable mortgage and the title-deeds from the apparent owner of the estate, without auy notice of the prior equitable interest. The Vice- Chancellor dismissed the bill with costs, being of opinion that the plaintiff had failed to prove knowledge of the settlement. His own opinion on the question was against that of the authorities, which had decided that an equi . table interest had priority over an equitable mortgage. t A REGISTRATION APPEAL. -In the Court of Common Pleas, on Wednesday, the only remaining registration appeal was heard. It was from a decision of the revising barrister for the northern division of Lancashire, against the claim of James Bayliffe to be placed on the list of voters. The claimant was the owner of some land which was mortgaged. He was paying off the principal in stated sums, and the objection to his claim was that the annual value of the estate was only £8 12s. 2d., while his yearly payments amounted to £l2 ; so that the estate could not be • worth to him the necessary " 40s. a year at the least above all charges." The argument in his favour was that, if the mortgagee could pay the interest and had a surplus beyond, he had that amount to spend by the year, and if the surplus was over 40s. he had a vote. It made no difference whether he spent the sur plus in paying the principal or in any other way. The ' counsel asked for a decision of the court, which would settle such cases in future. The court took time to con sider its judgment. A ItAnwaY CASE.—At the Mansion House, on Wed- nesday, Dr. Pearce, a physician, was summoned by the South-Eastern Railway Company for neglecting to alight at Cannon-street, to which station he had paid his fare, and refusing the excess fare which was demanded at Waterloo. It was shewn that the train did not stop at Cannon-street, and therefore the Lord Mayor dismissed the summons. O RA NGEMEN ARRESTED. — On Wednesday n i g ht I thirteen Orangemen were arrested in Belfast for drumminc , along the Shankhill-road in this town. The constabulary were obliged to draw their swords. The mob stoned the policemen, some of whom are severely cut. The prisoners were escorted by a strong body of policemen armed with rifles, and were conveyed to the head police office. SINGULAR MORGANATIC MARRIAGE. Letters ' from Lisbon announce the morganatic marriage of Don Ferdinand, ex-King of Portugal, with Fanny Essler. This, says Galignani, must be a second union, as the cele brated dancer had accepted in 1854, if we remember rightly, the hand of a rich Prussian banker. The other sister, Theresa, surnamed the Majestic, became the wife of Prince Ada'bort, brother of the King of Prussia. Fanny wad born in 1810, so that she has now al raved at the age of 5). Rumour, xvhen she was yonn , g, placed the Duke de Reiclistadt among 4 her warmest admirers. COLLISION ON A RAILWAY.—At noon, on Wed nesday, a fast train, known as the London newspaper train, from London to Leeds, was run into at Woode,ford Junction, five miles from Leeds, by a London and York goods train. The latter had drawn up in a siding to let the Midland train pass, and before the latter had started again tile fireman of the London and York set his engine in motion. It ran into the Midland engine broadside, and both were forced off the metals. None of the passenger; were hurt. The traffic was stopped for nearly two hours. The first news of the accident received in Leeds was that a fast train had run into a luggage train, and a good deal .f painful excitement existed, the non-arrival of tht London papers at the usual time appearing to confirm the worst fears. 311SCELLANEOUS NEWS. TILE POLITICAL CRISIS. . The Owl says that the division in the House of Lords on the Irish Church Bill will be a close one, and. adds, "there is no doubt that the Peers have taken fright at the storm that was raised by the announcement of the decision come to at Chester field House. Some of Lord Derby's late Govern ment refuse to obey his orders, and already the names of five-and-twenty Conservative peers are known who will take no part in the division and there is no doubt that before the decision of the House is taken the Conservative ' Cave' will be overflowing." The selection of Lord Harrowby, an independent peer, to move the rejection of the bill, has this advantage for the Conservative peers, that it leaves individual peers to act upon their own responsibility without an open desertion of their party. On the other hand, such a large number of them are likely to take advantage of this liberty that the fate of Lord Harrowby's amendment is by no means certain. The defeat of Lord Derby and his friends in the Upper House would be so severe a blow that it is almost certain not to happen. If there is any probability of it, they will probably withdraw from the position, and allow the bill to pass into com mittee. The Daily Telegraph declares that it has never wavered in its conviction that the Peers would pass the second reading, and that conviction is strengthened by the events of the last few hours. The gravity and manifest anxiety of the Conserve tive party, and the opinions of such weighty men as Lord Devon, prove that the party is by no means united, and, if not, it will not reject the measure. The Morning Advertiser says with reference to Lord Harrowby's notice of motion: " This looks as if the Lords were in earnest with regard to their rejection of the measure ; but it is not the general impression, even in Conservative circles, that they will proceed to the perilous extremity of throwing out the bill. The belief is that the rejection of the bill will be moved, and that a debate will be commenced which will last till Saturday morning ; but it is thought that when the Uonser vative peers have unbosomed themselves by the expression of their abhorrence of the measure, the amendment will be withdrawn, and the real opposi tion to the bill be reserved till it goes into com mittee." The Daily News, however, declares " there is little room for doubting that Lord Harrowby's motion will be made, and that it will be pressed to a division. The result is by no means clear. There is sure to be a great Conservative secession. "Whether it will be large enough tosonvertthe Liberal minority of last year into a majority, cannot be predicted. The Lords themselves are in the dark." The Morning Post thinks that the Lords would have a perfect right to alter some of the details of the bill in committee, notably the Maynooth clause, which is disliked by several of Mr. Gladstone's followers ; but the Post has little doubt that the principle of the bill will be affirmed, and that the Irishmen who have come over from Ulster will get nothing f or their pains except the consciousness that they have done their best to bring about a breach between the House of Lords and the nation. The Herald and the Staaclard will not admit that Lord Derby has reconsidered his determination of Saturday, but scarcely deny the assertion of the Times, that he has reconsidered it. They complain of the argument of the leading journal that the principle covers the details, and that it is impossible to make any substan tial amendment of the bill, and they say that if this be so there is nothing to be gained by going into committee, and that the Lords have no other alter native than absolute rejection, or unconditional surrender. A correspondent of the rites, who signs himself " L.," points out what he calls the two prevailing fallacies which are just now bruited about. Many Liberals look forward with some satisfaction to the rejection of the Irish Church Bill on the second read ing, because they see that the Lor ds will forfeit the power of amending it when it comes before them again in August. This, "L." says, is true, but it does not exhaust the question. The passing of the bill over a hostile majority by the calling up of eldest sons and the creation of other peers will be a coup d'etat perfectly justifiable, he thinks, under the circumstances, but still a coup d'etat ; and before they rejoice at the immunity of the bill from amendment, they must be persuaded that the amendments the Lords could now introduce with success if they abstained from negativing the second reading would be so serious that a coup d'etat is a lesser evil. The next mistake which, according to this correspondent, is being made, is one by the Conservatives. They will throw out the bill, they say, beca use this will skew to the Irish farmers that Mr. Gladstone is not omnipo tent. But " L." thinks the rejection of the measure will have a contrary effect. If assent to it be refused this month and the bill be passed in August, the Irish would be convinced that the Premier was omnipotent. On Tuesday a public meeting was held in Paddington for the purpose of petitioning , the House of Lords against the disestablishment of the Irish Church. Lord eland Hamilton pre sided, and spoke strongly against the measure, but said they must pause before they asked the house of Lords to throw it out, as it had been passed by large majorities in the notice of Com mons. It was necessary for the Lords to act independently if they wished to preserve the free Constitution of their country. He declared there was not the smallest foundation for the state ment that the Lords had given way, and that an authoritative denial of that statement had been telegraphed to every part of the country. He added that his father, the Duke of Aber corn, meant to enter his solemn protest and vote against the bill. Mr. Charley, M.P., pro posed a resolution to the effect that the meeting viewed the bill before Parliament with regret and alarm, which was carried after some observations had been made. It was then unanimously agreed upon that a petition should be presented to the House of Lords denouncing the Irish Church Bill, and call ing upon the Peers to arrest all hasty and perilous legislation upon the subject, so that the country might have time to consider the measure. THE EARL OF LIMERICK AND THE IRISH CHURCH BILL. The Earl of Limerick, like Earl Nelson, repudiates the great love for Free Churches which has been attributed to him. lle declares, in a letter to the Herald, that whatever his opinion may be as to the difficulties arising from a connection between the Church of a minority and the State in Ireland, he does not regard as undesirable in all instances the connection between Church and State. The Earl also corrects the statement contained in all the reports, that the meeting refused to hear any speakers but men of mark who challenged the policy of resistance. He says that every peer present, who desired it, had the opportunity of expressing his opinion on the subject before TEforietts.emeeting. SUNDRY The Owl states that Mr. James Murray, 0.8., Assistant Under -Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, intends to retire shortly upon a pension, and will probably be succeeded by the Hon. T. 0. W. Spring-Rice.—The same paper mentions that the petition against the return of Lord Hyde for Brecon will be withdrawn ; and that no sensible progress can be made in the inquiry into the cost of the Abyssinian war until next year, because all the principal witnesses are in India.

P. G. lie and Mr. Cowie, Rector of Stafford, who has been appointed Bishop of Auck land, will be consecrated together, probably on St. Peter's Day, June 29. LADIES' SANITARY ASSOCIATION. Some ladies of London, many of them noble by title, have been for some time endeavouring to spread a love of cleanliness among the poor of London. They have endeavoured to make known the sanitary laws and their bearing, by tracts and otherwise, hoping thus to prevent practices which lead to disease and wretchedness. Nor have they confined themselves to mere theories. They have established penny dinners for children, and sent others into the parks to play -; they have organised clothing and coal clubs, have collected libraries, and used all kinds of influence to raise the very poor from squalor to self respect. The Earl of Shaftesbury presided at the annual meeting of the society, held a day or two back. Ministers and medical men concurred in approving the objects of the society as being cal culated to raise the moral tone of those who were most degraded, and to diminish the rate of mortality. THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE FACTORIES ACT. There has been much difficulty and much want of uniformity in the administration of the Factories' Act. To remedy this evil the inspectors under the id have agreed to several modifications, whereby its execution will be rendered uniform. They have deter mined to allow the hours of work in certain cases to be from seven to seven or eight to eight, asis most con venient. This will be allowed, however, only in certain cases. Trades in London, Edinburgh, and Dublin, factories in which no person is ever employed under 16 years of age, factories in which the persons em ployed are of a class ileeesivily possessing superior intelligence and education, newspaper printing-offices , warehouses in which goods are polished, cleaned, wrapped, and packed up, are among the favoured ones. No modification is to be granted, however, to any child under twelve years of age. Permission may be also given, until the Ist of July, 1870, to employ young male persons during the night in breweries, marine engineering works, and oil and seed-crushing mills. The eight half-holidays enforced by the Act each year may be given on different days, and another day may be substituted for Saturday, on which the weekly half-holiday may be given in any factory, in which the necessity for such a modification is made clear. Lads of sixteen years of age may be employed till the Ist of July, 1870, as adults, in the enamelling of metal, in metal tube making, boiler making, gasometer making, marine engineering, in breweries, and in chemical works, when a medical certificate is produced that the labour would not be prejudicial to health. NOTTINGHAM ELECTION. The Liberal Association have determined to support Mr. Charles Seely (defeated at the general election) as their candidate; and in the case of a second vacancy arising, through the retirement of Colonel 'Wright, they will support. Mr. Bernal Osborne. The breach has not been healed, apparently, for overtures have been made by the " Independents" to Mr. Digby Seymour, with what result remains to be seen. Mr. Markham has positively declined to stand m the Conservative interest, and it is considered doubtful if another Conservative can be returned. THE BUDGET. The Herald publishes a long criticism upon Mr. Lowe's Budget. In addition to the objections already stated, the writer points out that in conse quence of the practice which has prevailed hitherto of allowing the income tax to fall in arrear one quarter, and the assessed taxes four quarters, the taxpayer will have to pay those additional amounts. The account is thus shewn INCOME TAX. Old System. New System. April 1869 £s April 1869 ES October 1869 lO January 1870 January 1870 £2O I 2 . 5" Or clearly one quarter against the new system, which is to all intents and purposes a quarter's income tax out of pocket.

Mr. Lowe, by continuing the old style of collection in arrears with the new arrangement of collection, by anti cipation gets a surplus of 3,500,000, and this sur plus is so disposed of that the larger La inan's income the larger, not only relatively, but Au proportion, is the remission of his taxation. A n can with 125,000 a year from landed property gets a izemission of 19 per cent., while a man with an income,pf £5OO from trade or profession gets only 121 per cent. NEW BISHOPS. ihir. Walter Q.bagiallaers.__at upeseat_Archqacon of EMIGRATION. General Sir Emigratio n soc i e ties are still very hard at work, endeavouring to obtain emigrants to send across the Atlantic, and m on ey wherewith to send them. Major those associations in their labour, declares that William Denison, in a letter cheerin g on emigration is necessary because of the present state of the wages market. He rather seems to think that the cou n t r y h as become too rich, that there is too much capital seeking employment. The result of the great abundance is small profit, and consequently a low rate of wages, a condition of things much aggravated by foreign competition. The colonies, on the other hand, suffer from a want of capital, and Sir William a pp ears to regard the sending out of so many labo urers —l a b o ur only—as an evil which it should be the duty of the Home Government to arrange. Whether the remedy he believes in is money given to the emigrant or the emigration of capitalists does not appear ; but he lays down that "if we e x p or t a man and his family we must give him the means of working out a fresh future for himself." "If (lie continues) this is to be done, we must cease to consider the colonies as aliens, to compel them to defend themselves, to talk of them as ineumbrances instead of helpers. Such language is not likely to enlist their sympathy with us, or to induce them to help us to work out a better future for our surplus population." A meeting was held on Tuesday evening, at Kennington, under the presidency of the Lord Mayor of London. Its object was to aid the emigration of working men. Mr. George Potter, notable for his connection with trades unions, seems to be the leader of this movement. The society formed under his auspices seeks, besides assisting emigration, to obtain constant and trustworthy information as to the several fields of labour in the colonies and elsewhere. Resolutions were passed by the meeting to the effect that emigration was necessary to relieve the depressed labour-market, and that the attempt to obtain statistics and other news in connection with the subject was most praiseworthy. CONGREGATIONAL MINISTERS. Those who risserted some time since that Indepen dent ministers Were much dissatisfied with the judgment of Vice-Chancellor Stuart, giving the power of removing a Congregational minister to his flock, hit very wide of the mark indeed. The state ment has called forth explicit denials from all parts, and from the organs of the body. Another Inde pendent minister, writing to the Star on the subject, says:— " For a Church to be incapable of removing only those ministers who are immoral or heretical, that they must endure the misery of being saddled with any incompetent person who by the chapter of accidents may once have obtained the office of th e i r m i n i s t e r, is to set at defiance the first principles of a free, self-governing commu nity; is to suppose that the Church lives for the good of . the ministry, instead of the ministry living for the good r s t o f e v the ils ; and is to attribute to us one of the w Established Church." afflict our brethren of the othat Church at (From the Anglo-American Times.) Washington, May 21. Mr. Corcoran, the banker of this city, known during the war for his Southern proclivities, has come out finely in a new character. He has made over his house at the corner of Pennsylvania-avenue and Seventeenth-street to trustees, with an endow ment as an Art Depository and Free Picture Gallery, also a valuable collection of pictures and works of art, which has been supplemented by the gift of another strong Democrat, Mr. August Belmont, of New York, with twelve pictures from his splendid collection, to be chosen by the trustees, and called the Belmont collection. Mr. Corcoran is building a grand hotel, to be called The Arlington, and you may imagine that it is a fine structure when I add that it is believed to be already rented at $40,000 a year. He seems to think well of real estate in this city, for he is buying up all the best houses in the market, among others those of Senator Sumner and Mr. Reverdy Johnson, the former for $65,000, the latter for $45,000. Mr. Sumner will not lose by the transaction, as he only paids3o,ooo, and that but two years ago. IV hen he bought the hou=:e a good time in it was anticipated, which our citizens regret has not been realized, but it is no business of mine to pry into his domestic arrangements. A report of the New York Herald amused us, as the Senator was represented as having called at the Executive Mansion, where he was told the Presi dent could not see him unless he waited a quarter of an hour, which he contemptuously declined, say • ing he would not thus wait for Victoria or Napoleon. On going home the writer adds, boiling over with rage, he met a friend, to whom he said the White House was no better than a big camp. General Grant has to earn every penny of his salary ; he has to look after others ; others have to look after more; but that many-headed monster, the people, has to look after him. No less than two hundred Lutheran ministers were received last Saturday. The proposition made by the Rev. Dr. Pohlman ought to be established, and a shake hand proxy appointed—an office I doubt not would be eagerly sought. The President on entering was greeted with applause, and the reverend gentle man, who spoke for his brethren, said " that long speeches were a bore, more honoured in the breach than in the observance. Let us have Peace ; these are my reverend brethren, representatives of the General Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church. I wish I could relieve you from the labour of shak ing hands by doing it by proxy. If you would give me a hearty shake I will shake the hands of all my brethren." But to this there was a cry of " No, no ;" and the President shook hands with each. The right arm of the General, from the con stant pump-handle practice, must be develop ing its muscles; but, however gratifying to our citizens, I doubt the wisdom of occupying the time of the Chief Magistrate in such a cere mony as this, nor have our Presidents ever claimed the virtue i❑ the touch once attributed to kings. It is not known where the President will go during the summer, nor is it certain that he will not take a trip over the Pacific Railroad. He will, however, attend the annual cadet examination at West Point next month. Our late Secretary of the Navy had a crotchet which has taxes many a poor fellow's spelling ; perhaps even in Europe. I may instance this by the Miantononiah, oue of our war monitors which visited Europe. Such names as the Pompanoosuc, Quinsigamund are from Indian history, which Mr. Wells insisted on giving our ships, in spite of a law which provides that war ships of the first-class are to be named after the States; of the second class after the cities and rivers; ._ • while the Secretaryand the President are only autho rized to select names for the third and fourth class.* Were it not for the services with which the names of the ships have become identified, the whole bundle of his Indian names would be sent after the Secretary to Hartford to be attached to his furni ture. Secretary Boric being desirous of remaining undisturbed in the more pleasant city of Philadel phia, where he is much more at home. delegated to Vice-Admiral D. D. Porter the duties of his office with the power of signing for him, so that the or ders thus issued might have the same weight as his own. The accounting officers of the Treasury, how ever, refused to honour the requisitions (as illegal) for money, signed by the Vice-Admiral, and the President talks of making Porter ad interim Secretary, which is believed to be equally illegal. The ram Atlanta has been sold to Mr. Samuel Ward, of New York, and she is leisurely being re paired. No one knows for what she is intended, though Mr. SYard is believed to have a pretty shrewd idea ; but it now transpires that she has been bought for Salnave for the San Domin go Govern ment. Mr. Borie has returned to Washingtcn, and was pre sentat some Cabinet meetings.AdmiralGoldsborough has been offered the post of Commander of the Boston Navy-yard ; and Rear-Admiral Montgo mery has been placed on waiting orders from his command of the naval station at Sackett's Harbour, being succeeded by Commodore J. R. I‘.l‘Kinstry. Commodore William Roger Taylor goes to San Francisco, June 1, to assume command of the North Pacific squadron, and will hois`, his flag on board the Ossipee (another of Welles' pet names), with Mr. Charles J. Pettit, formerly of the Navy De partment, as his Secretary. Colonel Parker has re sumed his duties here, having returned from New York ; General John Cochrane and James B. Tay lor are also here from New York. Commissioner Delano has returned from Columbus, and Genera Wager Swayne has also arrived. Messrs. Farwell of Chicago, Stuart of Philadelphia, Campbell of St. Louis, Dodge and Bishop of New York, Tobey of Boston, Brandt of Pittsburgh, and Lane of Indiana, the special Indian Commission appointed by the Pre sident, will hold a preliminary meeting on Wednesday. Mr. Simon Stevens had an interview with the Pres' dent touching some affairs of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, which were referred to the Attorney- General. Mr. W. R. Smith will soon be in E tirope, sent by direction of the Congressional Library Committee to exchange ornamental and useful plants. He is the superintendent of the Botanical Gardens, and he goes to inaugurate a regular system of exchange in plants with England, France, and Russia. The Columbia Typographical Union have got into a fix about Lewis H. Douglass, the son of the celebrated negro orator. It appears that from the Government office when comrositors were being discharged he was given a place, theo'nject being to establish practically there race equality. When fairly at work he applied for admission to the Printers"rrade Union at Wash ington. This was referred to the Committe on nominations, when a member of the union objected ou the ground that a similar application had for merly been made to a subordinate union and re jected on the plea that he was ineligible. The Committee reported against him, when it became necessary either that he should quit the Government employment or that the union hands should strike, as they are bound to do by their rules. The Trade Union scarcely knowing how to act under the cir cumstances, for if they struck, public opinion would be against them, postponed action for a week. Douglass, however, wrote to Mr Wolf, the Regis trar of Deeds, asking for an appointment as clerk in the office, to which he received a favourable reply. His own letter, and the reply of the gentle man to whom it was addressed, were singularly ap propriate. Mr. Douglass said he had fought in the war under the colours of his native State, Massa chusetts ; he is by trade a printer, but in conse quence of the combination against him in the Printers' Union he is unable to obtain employment, and he applies as one of that despised race hitherto unknown as office-seekers. Mr. Wolf, who is a Jew, says he sees no reason why Douglass and his race should not have the opportunities open to others; adding, "I am particularly happy in being the means of encouraging you, for, as a descendant of a race equally maligned and preju lioed, I have a feeling of common cause." The President has ordered the Departments to be closed on the 29th inst., the day set apart for Memorial Services and decorating the soldiers' graves. General Grant, his Cabinet, the Commander-in-Chief and Staff, ac companied by numerous army and navy officers, the Heads of Departments, the Diplomatic Missions, will be present at Arlington in honour of the oc casion. The Marine band and a hundred vocalists will furnish music, and the oration will be de livered by Colonel Fisher, and our churches will have services on the 30th. Professor Hall has left for New York, having made arrange ments to have a Government vessel awaiting him at San Francisco to convey himself, his in struments, and party to Norton Sound, Alaska, to make his grand observations of the total eclipse of the sun next August, the best opportunity, I am informed, that will occur in America for a century. Various rumours are in circulation of the resignation of Secretaries. One is advanced on good authority, that General Rawlins will re sign the War Department on account of ill health, to be succeeded by Judge Holt. In New York the report was current that Secretary Boutwell intended to retire in favour of A. T. Stewart, and Secretary Fish was said to be at variance with the President with regard to the Alabama and Cuba, and that he would retire; this, however, was known to be untrue, but Secretary Borie might throw up a place for which he never had any particular fancy. Chief Justice Chase has lately ruled at Richmond on a question involving the liability of towns to pay the scrip and notes they issued during the war. As they emanated from a de facto Government, the towns would be liable for their redemption ; but as they were issued in aid of an unlawful object (the Rebe'lion), that liability cannot be enforced. Secre tary Boutwell often receive s letters on the subject of lost bonds, and the public are informed that the Treasury does not issue new bonds to replace those lost or destroyed. The only two cases in which the Government issued duplicates the bonds alleged to be destroyed turned up, and the Treasury was com pelled to redeem them. Those who have thus suf fered must appeal to Congress, and there are many cases now before the Claims Committees of both Houses, for which, on account of inadequate evi dence, the Committee refuses to report bills. Twenty clerks have been discharged from the Navy Depart ment, so of late, instead of getting offices, our people have been losing them. The most persistent of fice-seeker we have' is Mrs. Dr. Mary Walker, of whom, by the way, I think this story worth telling. (We have used our Correspondent's story in our leading article.) Her last effort was to get a post as detective in the Secret Service of the Treasury. The statistics furnished byoffice-seekerswhich the de partments are now enabled to give, are as interest ing as they are curious. The applications to the following six footed up nearly 33,000 :--Treasury Department, 8,510 ; Department of the Interior, 3,170 ; Post-office Department, 17,490 ; Depart ment of State, 1,278 ; Navy Department, 2,130 ; Department of Agriculture, 320. Counting the correspondence each individual had with " his" Congressman, applications for certificates to the prominent men of his State, and the letter writing generally on the subject., I should think that sta tionery must be on the rise, and waste paper at a discount. A correspondent of a daily told me that he had been very busy working out the figures to show how unprofitable a pur su it was office-seeking. It is hard to get an erroneous impression out of * Our correspondent will be glad to learn that a General Order was issued at Washington, May 21, from the Navy Department, changing the names of the following vessels, in accordance with law :—Algoma to Benicia, Ammo noosuc to lowa, Canandaiga to Detroit, Contoocook to Albany, Kenosha to Plymouth, Kewaydin to Pennsylvania, Madawaska to Tennessee, Maniton to Worcester, Minne tonka to California, Mosholu to Severn, Neshaminy to Arizona, Omaha to Astoria, Ont Ario to New Yoik, Pis cataqua to Delaware, Pompanoosuc to Cincinnati, Push mataha to Cambridge, WanTanon to Florida.—ED. A.A.T . the minds of the public who have seen con tractors and hangers-on of the Government rea- lizing fortunes during the war, but, who forgetting that the circumstances are now reversed, economy being the order of the day, and that instead of being in creased,thenumberofemp/oyes continueto be rapidly diminished, come scrambling to Washington for pickings long since appropriated, and lose, enormous sums in the aggregate in seeking what is little better than the " philosopheris stone." The election in Texas is not to take place till November, according to the President himself. The citizens of Jefferson, near New Orleans, fired on the police, 300 of whom attempted to establish themselves in the municipal building, wounding 14, two of them dangerously. Jefferson belongs to the New Orleans district, but it refused to accept the metropolitan police ; they suc ceeded, however, the next day in getting possession of the building with the assistance of soldiers. The steamer Florida, lying at Chester, on the Delaware, suspected of being a Cuban vessel, is ordered to be detained. TILE AMERICAN PRESS. The T-ibune, in an amusing article on 46 A Kingly Crown," recommends to the T. C. I. 0. Mr. Andrew Johnson, as Emperor, pointing out what regal qualifications he had, and wherein he resembled Alexander the Great, Julius Cesar, George 111., Napoleon 1., and other monarchs. But La case he should die before the time came for making Andrew Rex, the Tribune puts in a word for old friend Train.:': George and Francis are both well-known royal names. We take it for granted that our George Francis has joined the "T. C. I. 0." already, because we never knew any man to have such a tremendous genius as he has for joining anything which might come along. He has powers of assimilation little short of miracu• lons. He is the most cosmopolitan of all living crea tures. His Protean mind, now absorbed in the plant ng of horse-railroads,, and anon engaged in the establishment of an Irish Republic, must be " strong,' or it would long ago have succumbed to that inces• sant demand upon all its faculties, which, being nobly responded to, has made the name George Francis illustrious in every quarter of the globe. Many other Yankees, hearing of the chance, have probably gone into training for the Throne, but they must train pretty stiffly if they expect to rival the great Train himself. Our favourite candidate, however, it we were in the speculation, would be the lion. Gideon Welles of Connecticut ; partly be cause Gideon is a good military name, and partly because Mr. Welles would be equally great upon the sea and upon the land, and sure to win our reve- rence as a mariner while he seduced our affection as a monarch. " God save Gidebn" would sound beautifully, and so we say—God save him ! The New York World has an article on "Politicians and the Press." Of 'politicians it asserts that those only can. be successful who ally themselves with a party, abide by its fortunes, and indorse its policy, whether or not it commends itself to them. " There was once in England a class of men known as trim- mere,' who held themselves free to advocate such measures as they might approve of, irrespective of the party in which they might originate. Some such remain, among whom may be mentioned Lord Stanley and Robert Lowe. But with the enlarge ment of the elective franchise party lines are drawn more tightly than once they were." Andrew John- son, William H. Seward, Thurlow Weed, Senators Dixon and Doolittle, John S. Carlile of Virginia, even Charles Francis Adams, are cited as instances of Republicans who fell owing to their independence of party. Of Democrats the names of John Van Buren, James T. Brady, and Reverdy Johnson are given. 'Furring to the press, the World says : "Journalism alone offers an opportunity for the exercise of an honest independence linked with an intelligent sup port of party. It is a curious fact, while mere politicians have lost caste with their party associates by declining to accord with them in somo points, the influence of journals has increased in proportion as they have shown themselves independent of the mere dictates of party. Mr. Greeley was soundly berated by his party confreres for becoming a bondsman of Mr. Jefferson Davis, while the same men at the same time secretly admired as well as diligently read the Tribune. As a politician, Mr. Greeley has been singularly unsuccessful ; but the Tribune, in which all the peculiar vagaries of its editor have found expression, is conceded to be the most influential organ in the country of the Republican party. On the other hand, the journals which heel the buck of party with unquestionjpg doci lity exert but little influence. The independence which ruins the politician makes the journal —provided, of course, that the latter display ability, as well as independence. If there be any men or set of men that indulge in the dream of forming a third party in the hope that it will hold the balance of power, and thus be a controlling element in our politics, the sooner they shake off the delusion the better for their political prospects. And if any man looks for success by running a blind party organ, he is doomed to disappointment. The sole hope of restraining, in the future, the excess to which political parties may tend, lies in an independent press. Henceforth it is to be, even in greater degree than it is to-day, the censor of American politics. Each party will have its advocates in journalism, but their influence will be in exact proportion to their in dependence. And is not the converse true, that the suc cessful journals of -the future are to be those which will maintain an intelligent independence, though'leyat times may run counter to some of the views of the party whose fortunes they espouse and whose principles they support ?" The same paper sketches the life and career of Gen. Sickles, who, having left the Democratic party to join the Republican, meets with but little mercy at its hands. His early history is dwelt on at length, though the World is more brief about his brilliant military record, and it adds a story hitherto unknown showing the reason for the reconciliation between him and his wife after the Key affair. The follow ing heads, in large type, explain one of its articles : —" Massachusetts moribund, the old Puritan stock rapidly dying out, a new race supplanting it, the farming lands passing iuto the hands of the foreigners, a new Erin in America." The New York Sun thus records a dream of the future : " Among the many accomplished women who spoke at the woman suffrage meetings in this city last week were two bright girls from the West, Miss Cozzens of St. Louis and Miss Peckham of Mil waukee, niece of the Hon. Rufus Peckham of Albany, one of the justices of our Supreme Court. They are studying law with the intention of being admitted to the bar; and we understand that the leading lawyers of those cities, with a generosity that does them honour, are extending to them every aid in• their power. No doubt when they are admitted they will repair to New York to engage in their profession ; and it would be a singular fact if, some ten or twelve years hence, when they become well grounded in the practice, they should take part, one on each side, in the trial of the great libel suit of Mr. John Russell Young, with the Hon. Susan B. Anthony peering wisely over her gold spectacles as presiding judge—and a better judge, too, we dare say, than some of those now on the bench." According to the telegrams of yesterday thelVew York Times says that if English politicians and news papers discussed the relations between England and the United States in the temper of Mr. Forster's speech there would be less ill-feeling between the people and fewer difficulties menacing the peace of the two countries. The Times concludes that, although Mr. Forster is not a Cabinet Minister, he is an influential Parliamentary leader, and a member of the dominant party. The ground he takes is probably the same as that which will be taken by the Government when Mr. Motley presents the question. The New York 7 rib line says that Mr. Laird's letter proves that the current of public opinion in England is strongly against him. But the quarrel is between England and America, and not with Mr. Laird. With respect to the Alabama and Rappahannock, England relied too much on special pleading, and never consideredig principles the question of public law. pintiliice light of great predominating law. It is announced that the debt of the United States has been reduced $20,C00,000 since the in auguration of General Grant's Presidency. The Emperor of the French has presented Gene ral Dix on his departure with two magnificent vases of Sevres porcelain. LUXURIANT AND BEAUTIFUL HAM.-11 RS. S. A.

The feeling in the Southern States, though ea °• pi ral, is by no means satisfactory to con tem The Washington correspondent of the New Ycric Tribune says;:—" A legal gentleman of this city, who has recently been to Georgia on busines s, an d while there was in close professi ona l re lations with.

So bitter is this hostile spirit that the l gentleman referred to, who was till recently a h i g:„ legal officer of the Government, believes that, 1 " the event of a foreign war, a large majority of tl.° o Georgia whites would not hesitate to joi n tb de enemy, if there should be an attempt to lov a f the country.
