SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. In the town of Bradford, observes the Times, with its 100,000 inhabitants, there has been abundance of capital ready for investment, and abundance of labour ready for employment. It needs only, to satisfy both operatives and capitalists, that employment should be found ; and accordingly the commercial authorities of the place have just gone half round the world to find it. Not in England alone, not in Europe, not even in America, but probably in a certain region of Asia. In one of the remotest provinces of the vast Empire of China lives a population exactly calculated to meet the wants of Bradford. Nobody can tell how many millions of people Sechuen may contain ; but what is really known, or, at any rate, asserted on plausible authority, is that every one of these Western Chinamen would, if he could, become a buyer of Bradford manufactures. What, then, should impede the introduction of these communi ties to each other? The Shanghai Chamber of Commerce says the thing can be done, and the Bradford Chamber of Commerce accepts the report of the Shanghai Chamber, and the end of it is a memorial to Lord Clarendon begging that the Chinese Government may be induced to fulfil its present obligations honestly, and to undertake a few more if the occasion should be found to require them. We have not a word to say against this proposal. Such a trade as the Bradford people have in view must needs be as beneficial to one nation ss to the other. The craving of the Chinese for woollen stuffs expresses, we may be very sure, a natural appetite, end there is no reason why York shire weavers should not be employed in satisfying it. We must only observe that there are two ways of doing a thing, and that we fear the right way has not always been taken in our dealings with China. It is not quite enough to say that if the inhabitants of Sechuen want to buy, and the inhabitants of Bradford want to sell, all barriers between them ought to be removed. Our existing trade with China is the result of • force put upon the Chinese Government. Hardly a gene ration has elapsed since we hewed our way into this secluded Empire, and perhaps the ruling classes would not be sorry to see our backs once more. Of course, the Shanghai merchants think the Chinese in the wrong, and of course the Bradford manufacturers side with the Shanghai merchants ; but it would be vain to disguise that the Chinese might possibly make out a case for themselves if they had a good opportunity. The Post considers that the laws regulating our Mer cantile Marine are almost, if not quite, as complicated and chaotic as those relating to the conditions of the employ ment of labour and to education, and regrets to hear that the Board of. Trade do not intend to recommend to Par liament to make provision for any inspection of merchant shipping. This determination is, however, entirely in accordance with the caveat emptcr principle which Mr. Bright has already informed us he means to push to the very extremity of application; and it is only consistent that the Minister who told us that it was our own fault if we bought butter with suet in it, and pepper mixed with iron filings, and that if we were killed in a railway accident it was owing to our own negligence and default in making a bad contract for conveyance, should now say to the sailors and officers of the Mer cantile Marine that their lives are in their own hands, and that if they choose to fruit themselves in rotten ships it is no affair of the Board of Trade; and to the owners of property in freight, that it is the business of underwriters, and not of the Government, to look to such matters. Let the Board of Trade procure a return from the Lifeboat Institution, and from Lloyd's, of the number, character, and ownership of the vessels and their crews who are lost because they are rotten to the core, or because they have neither boats nor even sound ropes with which to throw a grapnel to the lifeboat that comes to their aid, or because they have pumps absclutely out of gear and useless. Let the Board of Trade do this and it will find that with a good and clear clause there will be no occasion for " the army of surveyors " whose dim shadows Mr. Lefevre shrinks from, and that unscaworthiness, if: it be a comprehensive, is certainly any thing but an elastic term. Every seaman can define it as simply and as positively as a butterman, if he chooses, can exhibit the difference between butter and suet; and if the Board will take the trouble to look at the laws which they declare they are about to amend they will find that owners of shipping have no operative responsibility at all. The Daily _Xeres remarks that a begging letter writer, who is really a genius in his way, and has invented a new fraud and a new torture in one brilliant combination, has just been brought to prison and confession at Philadelphia. The trade in begging letters has of Into ceased to pay; the public are on their guard against them, and various societies exist which hunt out and punish their authors. But this artist revived the trade in a form which combined the efficacy of a threat with out its danger, and the force of a charitable appeal without the fear that it would be handed over to a society. It occurred to him that, as begging letters were useless addressed to the living, it might pay to address them to the dead. During the last two years the public has Leen occasionally warned by shrewd solicitors into whose hands the letters had fallen; but on the whole the scheme answered so well as to bring in a revenue of fifteen hun dred a year. Sprague has not only confessed, but has given a tolerably full account of his frauds. There is every reason to believe that all the begging letters which have come to England addressed to persons lately deceased have come from his single hand. Alto gether he seems to have run a very successful swindling career for many years under many aliases and by many schemes. But this last scheme was the most execrable of all : It was worse than trading upon charity ; it was poisoning the wound which death had made with a poison which would prevent its healing. Happily the exposure of the cruel fraud will release those- who were its victims from the worst portion of their loss. They will not regret the money of which they have been defrauded, now that their confidence in the dead has been restored by the exposure of the fraud. The Standard thinks that the correspondence between the Bishop of Lincoln and Dr. Temple will be read with deep pain. Strongly as we have condemned the nomina tion of Dr. Temple to the see of Exeter, we have never taken the extreme ground of a certain section of his oppo nents—that he has, in his own person, given expression to opinions which are distinctly heretical. Dr. Temple's reply to the Bishop's appeal, the kind motive and generous consideration of which he frankly acknowledges, is almost repulsive in the coldness and dogged determination of its tone. Dr. Temple will not stir ono inch out of the path he has traced out for himself. He says that he is convinced that if he were to comply with Dr. Wordsworth's request he should be only laying himself open to fresh demands. Dr. Temple prefers to remain silent because it is more safe for him, and he is afraid that if ho speaks he may commit him self, or be caught tripping. We fail to understand his reference to "the law of the Church," unless it is intended to remind us that he has not been condemned by any legal tribunal. He will not say one word which may justify the retraction of the sentence under which he now suffers. Strong in his legal position, and in the counte nance of the secular power, he forces his way on to the bench of bishops, and takes his seat, by preference, as a. branded heretic. He will be a bishop anyhow, but as a matter of personal liking he prefers to go into Exeter diocese with the weight of opprobrium still hanging to him. The law is with him, and he wrests it to the uttermost, to the shame and the wounding of the help less Church. And they talk of Dr. Temple's " high mindedness !” The Herald says that the judgment delivered, or to speak, perhaps, more appropriately, the sentence recently pronounced, by the Dean of Arches in the case of "Lee v. the Rev. James John Merest," is undoubtedly one of very great severity ; but in so characterising it we do not mean to imply that it is more than adequate to the offences which the defendant was proved to have committed. It is, of course, only becoming in laymen to bo diffident in offering opinions upon the proceedings that take place in courts of ecclesiastical jurisdiction, and we are perfectly ready to assume th Lt the learned judge could not, consistently with the conscientious discharge of his duty, have visited the delinquency in question with a milder punishment. The charges against the defendant were two, viz., that he had obtained a presentation to the vicarage of Upton-Snodsbury by a simoniacal bargain ; and that he had been con v i c t e d a t the assizes for threatening to publish a libel with i n t en t to extort money. The reverend gentleman did not appear, either by counsel or in person, to defend himself against his accusers. It has been Mr. Merest's ill-luck to be found out, and this he seems to owe to his indiscretion. He entered into an engagement with his brother clergyman, the Rev. Murray Richard Workman, which both of them knew perfectly well must, in order to succeed, to kept ' completely dark. Whether he was fairly treated or no t b y Mr. Workman, in the carrying out of the illicit contract, we cannot judge, but ho have done wisely to have put up with a g:rea , e, deal rather than risk a discovery. The results to him are lamentable enough, seeing that he has to undergo a sentence i of deprivation from the ministry, and from thepei.cTo..ncelolf all clerical functions in the province of Canterbury: i w the living which ha was so anxious _ obtraiinie gift for the next presentation, into the hands of the co The Telegraph declares that if there is one member of the present Government who, more than any other, would reduce " governing" to a minimum, that man is Mr. Bright. " Let alone " has been the motto of his school : it was the watchword of the great free-traders ; they detested all Government intervention, and. believed that, hi the long run, individual energy : commercial experience, and unfett-red t!a•Te would create naticnal prosperity mGre surely than any o: - T' cia I :cgulatiun ur pr., tooted industry. When Mr. Bright was first appointed President of the Beard of Trade, he fr,quently pointed out that he found nothing to do but to give advice ; and even that function of his office hehas minimised by leaving railway directors in a g reat mca.sure to themselves. Lately, a correspondent found himself engaged in conversation with a querulous costermonger at the East-end, who bemoaned the hard times, and said, " Why, look at Mr. Bright ! ho used to promise us great things. Well, he were appointed President of the Board of Trade some nine months ago, and I'm blessed if ever since trade hasn't been worse than it wor before. Much good he has done." We recom mend this vein of argument to Conservative orators and wits ; well worked amongst the people, it would do great good. The belief that " Government ought to do some thing" lies deep down in the popular heart ; and there 's no knowing what might be gained by making Mr. Bright answerable for dulness of trade, and Mr. Gladstone respon sible for a bad harvest. THE WESTMINSTER ELECTION. An important correspondence has taken place between the London and Westminster Working Men's Constitu tional Association and Mr. Leatham, M.P. In a speech at Huddersfield on the 18th inst., Mr. Leatham made an alle gation as follows :—" Take only the case of West minster . . . It was proved that there was a vast work ing men's Conservative association in full work, and they knew what that meant, with a separate set of canvassers, and a separate committee, and bribing right and left." The chairman of the association, Mr. W. Cotter, was commissioned to call upon Mr. Leatham to specify " any evidence taken before the judge who tried the West minster petition, which will substantiate this charge of wholesale bribery." To this Mr. Leatham replied, refus ing to withdraw his imputation, and relying for its justifi cation upon the following passage from the judgment of Mr. Baron Martin :—" It has been proved, as was stated by Mr. Stephen, that there was this body who called themselves the " London and Westminster Working Men's Conservative or Constitutional As sociation." Although the society was assumed to be formed of working men, the subscriptions coming from those working men were next to nothing. There was a subscription of £1 18s. within one period, and of SI within another period, and that for thethelastperod the subscriptions coming from them amounted to and that all the rest of the funds of this society, which were considerable, came from a subscription of £6O from Mr. Smith himself, but he had withdrawn from it upon his becoming a candidate, two subscriptions from his partner, Mr. Lethbridge, and various other sums from other persons, who I have no doubt subscribed expecting that this moneywouldbe bene ficially expended for the purpose of promoting their political views. I think that the evidence is clear that there were two independent sets of canvassers, and that this society having got funds to a considerable amount, spent them in endeavouring, as far as they could, to induce persons to vote for Mr. Smith." The Chairman of the association replied:—" Mr. Baron Martin was perfectly right in stating that the funds of this association were applied, as far as possible, in promot ing the return of the candidate who represented its opinions; but we deny altogether your inference from the quotation that he meant anything but legitimate expenditure, and I imagine you would be greatly astonished to find a con tribution of your own to any Liberal Association being employed to promote the success of your opponents. Mr. Baron Martin did not even hint that the members of this association were guilty of bribery. Mr. Davis was the only person connected with this association accused of bribery, and he was charged with bribing a person to vote with the offer of a day's wages, and with the folly of offer ing a bribe of £5 to a person who did not possess a vote; but the judge carefully avoided expressing an opinion upon the truth of these charges, which were indignantly repu diated by Mr. Davis." ANOTHER BETTING-HOUSE PROSECUTION At the Marylebone Police-court, on Wednesday, Thomas Russell, 9, Bird-street, Oxford-street, beerhonse keeper, was charged on remand, with keeping a house for the pur pose of betting. John Farthing and Richard Richards wore also charged with aiding and assisting in the practice. Inspector Lucas, D division, said he went with the superintendent to Russell's house, and saw him behind the bar, and the two other prisoners with him. Under the bar counter he found a board on which were betting cards, containing the names of horses and the odds affixed to them. There was one for the Shrewsbury Cup, to be run for on that day. He also found a number of loose cards In the back parlour he found a quantity of cards and betting books. There were 'entries in the books of several races that were to come off, and also those that had come off. There were some for the St. Leger of this year. He found ten booke under the counter, and two in a cupboard He asked Russell if they were his property, and he said they were. One book had his name on the back. He took Russell to the station-house. Russell kept a beerhouze. Inspector Howland, D division, said he went with the superintendent. Saw Russell, and asked him to unlock a cupboard behind the counter. He did so, and found two books and some cards, and tickets with Russell' name on them. In the back parlour he found, in a cupboard, about fifty betting-books and seven cigar boxes, containing cards. He took Richards to the station house. William Boyle, detective E division, said on the 29th of May last he was directed by Mr. Draper to learn if any betting was carried on in his district. He went into Emmanuel's house, who then kept what was called "The Marylebone Club." Russell bad a betting-board up there, and witnes backed a horse named Serdain with him. At nine o'clock they all left the house, and went to Russell's heel-shop, where all were talking about a horse named Drummer. He called out that they made a great noise about the horse, and he would take the odds again about Serail'. He said that to Russell, end he took his money. e reported his bets to the superintendent. To make sure about the place being a betting-house, he made a "little book" of his own, and icid rgainst come hors: s. He only saw Fart;:ing serve behind the tar, but he was present when Lets werl ride. Did not see Richards there. He was in and out all the month of June, and there was a deal of bettile - geing He reported it to the superintendent. Mr. d'Eyncourt said he should commit Runell for two months, without hard labour, and the other two prisoners would be dizcharg,cd. Notice of 'appeal was given. LAW AND POLICE. RAILWAY COMPEXSATION.-A photographer named Swat• man has obtained a verdict for £4OO, as compensation fez injuries received on the London and North-Western Rail. way line at Rugby Station. He fell, when getting out of the carriage on hearing the station called, and owing to the insuffiCiency of the light he did not perceive that he was getting out where the . platform dipped, and he fell injuring himself severely. The accident occurred in October, 1863, and he was still on crutches. EASILY SATIsriED.—Mr. Justice Lush has opened the Winter Assizes at Leeds, where the calendar is fortunately not a very heavy one. The case of chief interest is that of the attempted murder of Sarah Sykes by Thomas Davis, which was postponed from the last assizes. This case, it will be remembered, arose from the disturbances between unionists and non-unionists at Sheffield. On the first day of the Assizes, three men were charged with setting fire to a stack of hay; the property of Samuel Foster, at Sheffield. They pleaded guilty, and one of them asked the judge to " give him ten years." Mr. Justice Lush said that happened to be the sentence he intended to pass. The man had clone the act deliberately in order to be taken, but he hoped some other punishment would be found for such a state of things. SENDING FIREWORKS BY RAIL. -At Wandsworth. Baker and Son, artists in fireworks in Bethnal-green were summoned fcr sending a case of fireworks .Jn the South-Western Railway without notice. The de fendant said he did not know it was necessary to mark the case. The full penalty of £2O was imposed. FORGERIES BY A POST-OFFICE CLERK.—Thomas Bell has been committed for trial at Liverpool for having issued a number of fictitious money orders. He had been em ployed in an Irish post-office, and had obtained a number of forms which he filled up with false names and addresses, obtaining about £lBO. TUE ALLEGED MURDER AT IVALSTANTON. —The grand ury at the Stafford Assizes have thrown out the bill gainst Chatfield for the murder of David Edwards, at Wolstanton, on the 3rd of October. The foreman said Lhat in the opinion of the jury the police were much to :lame, and he had written to the chief constable on the matter. CHARGE OF ATTEMPTING TO FIRE A COTTON MILL.— A painter, named Holmes, has been charged, at Bradford, with attempting to fire a cotton mill belonging to Alderman Rawson. On going to the mill on Monday morning, a window on tha ground floor was found to have been forced in, and a quantity of half-burnt materials were found on a spinning frame. A canvassing book belonging to the prisoner waa found among the half-burnt material:. Tho mill and its contents are worth DO,OOO. The prisoner was remanded.

AN INSO LVENT PAIZISIL—TIio parish church at Bishopswcarmouth has been overtaken by a Hort of eccle siastical insolvency; the bell-ringers, pew-openers, acid organist have received a three months' notice of • the termination of their engagements, in consequence its being found impossible any longer to find the money wherewith to pay their salaries. The congre gation decline to furnish voluntary contributions, and they are equally determined in their refusal to submit to a trifling levy for scat rent, and the churchwardens find, in consequence, that they cannot any longer " carry on the concern." This description of the deplorable condition to which the parish church of Dishopswearmouth is reduced would be incomplete without the additional_ statement that the clergyman has a salary of £2,000 a nar, and _" Handsome rectory to live THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 2, 1869 WOMAN'S RIGHTS MO VEMEN7. We last week gave some extracts from the Ame rican press on the Woman's Rights Movement in the United States to show the turn it is now taking. Several subjects there are coming promi nently forward for discussion, but no other at this moment takes so conspicuous a place. The article of the .Nation to which we alluded was answered by Mr JOHN Homan, of Hartford, Connecticut, who proved that the ten essays on 'Woman's Work and Culture (which, in reviewing, the critic asserted would earn for the authors from the platform wo men the title of " spooneys," if not of " traitors"), had been most favourably commented on by them in the Revolution. Mr. HOOKER writes in terms of high respect of Mrs. STANTON, of Miss ANTHONX (the Garrison of the movement), of Mrs. LivElt, MORE, of Mrs. JULIA WARD HowE, and other ladies. While thoroughly sympathising with their work, he confesses that he has not escaped being irritated by what offends taste and judgment, though less bad taste has, he thinks, been displayed in this th:tia in most other radical reforms. There is always some bad taste in the conduct of such reforms, but good taste alone never wrought a reform, and bad taste, - though a hindrance and offence, never defeatel one. 11 oman's strong point seems to him to be this; they exercise a mighty influence, and it is expedient that those who do should be so endowed with civil rights as to - make the duty and responsibility of that influence weigh, and for this reason nations seek to add open responsibility wherever they find hi therto unobserved power. The Nation replied in a leader "On Methods of Agitation." Mr. HOOKER'S object was to uphold the Revolution and its conductors; hence the severe censure in deal ing with and controverting his argument cast on its editors by this article. Miss ANTHONY is ac cused of entering into a partnership with Mr. GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN, " a notorious mounte bank," giving up a. portion of the paper to advocate his wildly wicked and foolish views of finance, at a time, too, when the public credit was seriously assailed from other quarters. " TRAIN'S spirit of mendacity, absurdity, and bombast per vaded the paper," and Miss ANTHONY accompanied him in a canvas for subscribers, incurring a part of the responsibility of his tricks. Afterwards they appeared on a platform in New Jersey, where they carried on in public a vulgar and silly dialogue about their travels, which, considering the magnitude of the task before them, was something worse than an exhibition of bad taste. The conduct of the agita tion the Nation illustrates by the case of HESTER VAUGHAN, convicted of infanticide in Philadelphia. The Revolution conductors asserted that she had been betrayed by her lawyer, who was fiercely denounced. That she—the victim of a criminal assault--was about to be hanged through the cruelty and injustice of man-made laws ; that Phila delphia was indifferent to her fate, her only friends being the New York champions of Woman's Rights. The deputation of women sent to Philadelphia dis covered that the Governor had never intended to sign the death warrant,that Philadelphian ladies had already taken up the case, that her lawyer had not betrayed her, and that she was not the victim of a criminal assault ; but no apology was ever made. Disgraceful wrangling has m trked the conventions, and untruthful charges by her fellow-work women have been brought against the integrity even of Miss ANTHONY herself. The Nation considers that misrepresentation, that painting good people in dark colours, simply because they oppose the agitation, is the more unwise in these advocates, as they move in an enemy's country, society being almost en masse against them. The Anti-Slavery men had at least the slaves on their side, but the Woman's Rights'people have not yet succeeded even in winning over the women. Slaves who hug their chains are proverbially hard to liberate, and the world has drawn too much happiness, as sweet and pure as mortals know, from the domestic relations as they now exist, and have existed time out of memory, to change them on a h Isty summons. lu discussing the Anti-Slavery men; as formerly hold ing a place not unlike that now held by these leaders, the Nation says it was society that was violent, not they; society being excited, as they assailed property and seemed to assail the Union itself These Anti-Slavery men did utter violent things but that had little to do with their slims-; indeed this would be like ascribing the success of a storm ing party to the profane language used by the men in the advance, who often swear fearfully in mount ing a brea , Th. The Sew York Cit izen is downright savage in discussing "The Will Women," an.i we cannot help thinking the editor was describing his own experience with the "gaunt, sallow, and bony" girl in the incident he relates. It was in a sleeping car attached to the New York and Washington night train that a lone and unarmed gentleman had purchased the exclusive right to a state room. When seeking repose for the night upon his eminently virtuous couch and strictly modest pillow, his pri vacy was invaded by the gaunt, sallow, and bony wild woman, whom the Citizen describes as dread ful to look upon and terrible to meet in such a seclu sion. She seated herself, and with a contemptuous sniff announced her intention of remaining, scoffing, as her answer that the room belonged to him, or at anything belonging of right to a merely mas culine person. An allusion to his outraged mo desty was laughed to scorn as his weak and con ventional scruples. After the unhappy man had defiantly gone to bed, the wild woman climbed to the dizzy height aloft, leaving her victim to a long night of agony. At every uneasy movement of the fiend above, he shuddered lest she should de scend, and denounce him as he lay helpless at her feet. Nor did he feel at ease till he heard the wild snore of the reckless invader of his rights ; and when the train halted at dawn he escaped in a tremor from his suspense. This is what the Citizen calls the "Wild Woman on the - War Path," de claring it to he only the beginning of a course of similar outrages against single men ; indeed, it proclaims the imminent danger of the male sex. We regret the adoption of a course by the injudi cious, who, in all reform movements, are sure to rush into an extravagance, which reacts injuriously not only on themselves, but on those who have no part nor lot in their proceedings. No fair intelli gent man denies the right of a woman to have every walk of life open to her, for which she can qualify herself to get her bread, nor her right to use the money thus earned, or that inherited, as she chooses. So far the agitation has been, or must be, success ful; and women will then soon make and keep the places for which they are best fitted. In Philadel phia a party of thirty lady medical students, of the Woman's College, was invited by the managers of the Pennsylvania Hospital to attend the usual clinical lectures on the Gth instant. Both within and without the hospital women were subjected to the impudent insults and hissings of the medical students who gathered there. This is the way to bring society to the aid of the 'Woman's Rights' movement, as these students will soon find. But even a better way is that taken by Gen. SPINNER, who has sent sixteen women clerks from the Trea sury Department at Washington to New York to count the money in Gen. BUTTERFIELD'S office ere transferring it from that gentleman to his succes sor, Mr. CHARLES J. FOLGER. These women have been selected because they are experts in counting notes and coin, therefore in employing them the busi ness will be expedited. Such a fact weighs more than any amount of talk with the public, who will de mand, if women excel in such work, that they should be paid in proportion and be freely employed. But women can do such work to the benefit of the com munity and still preserve the domestic relations now existing, though the proceedings at New York may lead many of both sexes to doubt what would other wise be a self-evident fact. Few women will aid a movement conducted as the present leaders of the agitation in New York appear inclined to conduc', the business, and they may aerefot e do real harm, not only by diverting attention from the hue points at issue, but by shocking and outraging society.

The trial on board the Achilles o f R ear -Ad m i ra l Inglefield's new steering apparat us h as prove d satis factory. The Admiral has been more than five years at work upon this new invention, and, like all other innovators, has had much opposition to contend with. His new steering wheel is a very small affair, and. is placed in the pitot-house of the bridge. This wheel acts upon a rod, which, moving up and down through five inches, changes the direction of the action of the water-engine, which lies upon the keel of the vessel, and is set in motion by the hydrostatic pressure of the water outside the bottom of the ship. By a well known law thi s p ressure i s greatly increased in power, and is communicated by means of two pipes to two cylinders, arranged ro hydraulic presses on either side of the tiller, at a distance of four feet from th e ru dd er h ea d. The apparatus thus dispenses with the necessity for a 15-foot tiller, the fathoms of rope, the large steering wheel, and the assistance of the many men who are now required to get the helm over to its fullest angle when going at full speed, and w h o o ft en f a il i n doing so. Admiral Inglefield's invention can be worked easily by one man or a boy.

AUSTRALIAN MEAT. The consumption of antip o d ean fl es h in this country appears to be increasing rapidly. Mr. M'Call, of Houndsditch, announces that in consequence of the great success which has a tt en d e d th e introduc tion of Australian meat in tins to the British public, the Melbourne Meat Preserving Com pany have enlarged their manufacturing pre mises, and are preserving mutton at the rate of 90,0001b5. per week. Mr. Rit c hi e , th e manager o f the company, writes :—(c From all appearances, the stock of sheep this summer will be immense, and their condition fat beyond all precedents, thanks to the magnificent rain we have been blessed with during the past fortnight." Between the Ist April and the Ist October of this year upwards of 90,0001b5. of meat of this company's brand alone were sold in this country. Large shipments have just been landed from the Norfolk and Swiftsure, and further consignments by the Dover Castle, Somersetehire, and Renown, are expected to arrive shortly. WHO SHALL BE LEADER The rumour that Lord Cairns holds Liberal opinions on the land question gathers strength ; and not only so, but it now declares the same of Mr. Disraeli. The great Conservative leader is stated to be con templating a grand coup for next session. As on previous occasions he will not please the straightest Conservatives ; he will probably appal the most extreme of his party ; but his views will, when enunciated, do much to facilitate the passage of a sound measure. So says the usually well-informed London correspondent of the Scotsman. If he be correct, and if it be true that the Marquis of Salisbury contemplates simple resistance to any alteration of the land laws, it becomes improbable, to the verge of the impossible, that the two who disagree so greatly should walk together in leading the same party. The Daily News —though its opinion will have very little weight with those whom it advises—counsels the Con servatives to avoid Lord Salisbury of all men ; for to carry out his self-denying, holding-aloof policy would be d es t ruc ti ve . Th e Earl of Derby, en the other hand, is said to be personally adverse to taking the lead ; h e lik es coo l, calm, retirement better than being in the heat of party conflict ; he wishes to be unfettered in his judgment, and somewhat inde pendent in his position. Personally the Marquis of Salisbury, more than Lord Derby, requires the steadying influence of responsibility. LORD BODARTES. Some of our contemporaries, in commenting upon Mr. Robartes' peerage, have remarked on his claim to be descended from Lord Radnor. Assuming him to be envious of that title, they have spoken of the one he has tak en as a ne w one. This, it seems, is a grand mistake. Mr., or rather Lord Robartes, claims to be descended, in female line, from an older peer than Lord Radnor. He is the representative of Lord Robartes of Truro, who was created in 1625. The present Earldom ofßadnor was created so late as 1765. MR. KNATCIIBULL-HUGESSEN. The member for Sandwich has given his opinion of public affairs to his constituents. Mr. Knatchbull- Hugessen is Under-Secretary for the Home Depart ment, and .ender-secretaries, as is notorious, are not permitted to let out much. It is not surprising, there fore, to find that the remarks of the member for Sandwich on the land question were confined chiefly to sheaving what the Government would not do. But in one respect Mr. Knatchbull-llugessen's speech may be taken as an indication of coming events. It hinted that the sedition-mongers were getting to the end of their tether : It i; not my duty to give legal opinions or to institute prosecution;; but I say to you, as I have said to others very recently, that a limit mu!,t be reached at last, and that speedily, if we permit the circulation through the length and breadth of Ireland of seditious newspapers, which speak disrespectfully of the sovereign, openly agitate fcr the separation of Ireland froM England, and give an utterly false aspect to the real feeling of Englishmen towards the sister country. For the happiness, prosperity, en d sa f e ty of Ireland, it is absolutely necessary that the authority of England should i n thi s respect be vindi cated. Mr. Knatchbull-Hugessen pronounces for the ballot. SOUTHWARK. Sir Sydney Waterlow has ent ere d upon th e elec toral campaign. In an address t o th e S out h wark elec tors on Tuesday night, the candidate said very little about his political views ; but h e gave t h e meet i ng the valuable information that he would not have come forward had he not been assured th a t hi s can did ature would unite the Liberals.

LETTER FROM THE IRISH CILIEF SECRETARY. In another column a description is given of the scene at the tenant-right meeting at Dunkalk. To that meeting the Chief Secretary for Ireland was invited. Of course he could not attend ; but he wrote a letter excusing himself. Mr. Chichester Fortescue declared that the subject (as everybody knows) was en gaging his earnest attention ; still, neither as member for Louth nor as member of the Government, could he take part in a public discussion at such a meeting. He added, however, " You will allow ins to say that the satisfactory and speedy settlement of the question can only be accomplished under the guidance of the spirit of equality and moderation, which is perfectly consistent with courageous and effective RE-APPEARANCE OF A NOTED PERFORMEIL. Far some little time the people of this country have been subject e d t o a d e p r ivation. The voice of Mr. G. 11. Moore, M.P., has been hushed. That gentleman feels convinced, however, that the country cannot bear it any longer, and he has therefore consented, for the good of the public, to re-appear once more. lie writes a letter to the T unes 7 , 11 the Irish que s ti on. B u t a ft e r careful considera tion of this performance, there is no helping the con clusion that Mr. Moore is not the man he was. In this letter there is none of the spirit which charac terised the speeches at the fixity of tenure and amnesty meetings. M r. M oore i s now comparatively moderate. lle gives an account of his own share in recent legislation, how he gave the English Govern tient every chance to do justice to Ireland, how he sought to conciliate, how he lost popularity in his own country by Corpus voting for the suspension of the Habeas Act and other measures of repression, and finally how British ion•ejudice and perverseness have ruined everythi ng.

TILE IRISH CRURCII AND THE TIIIRTY-NINE ARTICLES. It is difficult to understand the announcement that 41 the revisi.m of the Thirty-nine Articles, as pub lished in 1563, and s o mo dif y i ng t h e i r provis ions as to embrace Prot es t an t Di ssenters, espec i a ll y Presby terians," is under discussion in the Irish Church. Who is debating the matter ? There have been no public considerations of the question ; the Bishops have given no sign on the subject; neither clergy nor laity have spoken out with any great voice upon the point. Moreover, the tendency of all the public meetings, the conferences, the congresses, the conventions, has been to let the Articles stand as they are at present. Nevertheless it is confidently stated that " high ecclesiastical authorities" have been_consulted on the EARLY CLOSING. The friends of the movement in favour of early closing have held their annual celebration. The cause is strong, and numbers supporters of great diversity, such as Mr. Morley, M.P., the Bishop of Oxford, Dr. Cumming, Mr. Anthony Trollope, Lord George Hamilton, Mr. Buxton, M.P., and other dissimilar thinkers. On the occasion of this annual gathering Mr. Morley presided. The member for Bristol is an earnest early-closer, and advocates the shutting up in good time of all kinds of shops, including that in which legislative ware is vended. Why, asked Mr. Morley at this meeting, should the House of Commons turn night into day, when two centuries ago Parliament used to meet at seven in the morning ? Something of a middle course between the two extremes would surely be preferable. Mr. Buxton, M.P., on the other hand, thought the present prac tice of Parliament the best. But he was in favour of early closing generally. He denied that it led young men into mischief. A man excited and over worked, and having but a couple of hours at his com mcmd, almost necessarily sought for fresh excitement, often finding it under inauspicious circumstances. A man, on the contrary, who left off work earlier, without equal strain and excitement, was much more likely to spend his evenings in a rational and tem perate manner. Mr. Macgregor (" Rob Roy ") believed the movement was prospering. Mr. Anthony Trollope was of a similar opinion, and spoke a word in favour of Post Office clerics. It does not appear that any member of the Government was present to say something on behalf of overworked Ministers. If Parliament would only meet at seven in the morning, how many neat little bills, and how many nice votes would be smuggled through unseen, especially in cold weather ! DIR. WILKIE' COLLINS AND COPYRIGHT. Mr. Wilkie Collins has gained nis point with the Dutch publishers. The good-humoured bullying which he gave them when they asked permission to translate his •work without paying him for it, has brought the Messrs. Bellinfante Brothers round; they now offer to reward the writer as well as the translator. Mr. Collins will not, however, be so successful in his dispute with the Daily I'Vews. The writer of the article "In the Recess" of that paper does not think the Messrs. Bellinfante are, in the absence of an international copyright law, bound in honour to pay for the right of translating the novel, "Man and Wife." Mr. Collins can sell no exclusive property in the story ; why should the firm pay for nothing ? By the way, the author of these gossipy articles was said to be Mr. Moy Thomas; Mr. Thomas is ' the reputed editor of Cas sen Magazine; the novel is appearing in a serial form in that monthly. Is it not a little strange that the editor should thus be falling foul of his con tributor ? CO-OPERATION LN LANCASHIRE. The Rawtenstall Co-operative Society is one of the most successful in existence. It was started about twenty years ago by a few men whose capital was only a guinea, and has gone on increasing year by year, adding drapery, tailoring, boot, shoe, and clog making, and butchering to its original grocery and provision trade. At present the society has 990 members, with a subscribed capital of £11,020 9s. 5d., and a lean capital of £1,840 19s. 9d. It transacts a busi ness of above £30,000 per annum, and realises clear profits of over £l,OOO per quarter, which, after pay ing interest upon the capital, are divided on members' purchases, no less than 2s. 51d. per pound being the average on the latter. A new store has just been erected, at a cost of £7,000. This building contains a news-room, a meeting-room, and a well-stocked library. Mr. J. S. Mill has expressed his irratifica tion, not only at the success of this store, but with the extension of the co-operative principle to manu factures in the district. THE GAME LAWS. A meeting of tenant-farmers of the Birming ham district has followed the example of many other. gatherings in protesting against the Game Laws. The Warwick:3hire agriculturists declare that the Game Laws become more and more injurious as farming becomes more and more scien tific. They demand not the reform, but the repealof the obnoxious statutes. A PROUD DAY FOR VANDERBIL7. With the obituaries of the oldest Admiral, one of the most distinguished of the United States Navy and of the oldest General, among the renowned of the United States Army, together with at least two politicians known to fame, comes the story of a New York burlesque. Indeed we ought to say two bur lesques, for it is impossible to distinguish between them, although one, may not have been meant for a farce. Whether Admiral STEWAnT or Gen. WOoL, hether BOBERT WALKER or Antos KENDALL has left behind a statue of himself throughout the length and breadth of his native county, it-is at least certain that Commodore VANDERBILT will, who, like a wise man, has provided for this during life, not leaving such a sacred duty to an ungrateful public. In the presence of some ten thousand spectators, the bronze work illustrating the Com modore's career was unveiled with more than ordi narily imposing ceremonies, beginning with the prayer of the Bishop, and ending with the discus sion of the repast. Two hundred and fifty police men held the ground, and the band of the famous 7th Regiment supplied the music. OAKEY HALL was the orator, and there was a party of seamen to lead in the cheering, under the orders of boatswains BRIS COE and DE LAPP, who ran up the Commodore's pennant to the flagstaff, and the band played " The Conquering Hero," while the crowd cheered, and the Mayor stood forth to pour forth the fervent oratory inspired by his subject. A committee of honourable citizens, he began, have sought to perpetuate in yonder colossal work of art the history and public spirit of an honoured fellow-citizen. The Irish com moner, the English commoner, the Iron Duke, the world renowned philanthropist, had during their lives the same merited tribute, but none more de served those honourable inscriptions than does COR NELIUSVANDERBILT. Isit for his wealth—for the bald reason thathe is the richest citizen on this continent ? A thousand times, no !--for the merit is not in the accumulation, but in the employment ; his were not selfish investments or egotistical accumulations, no filling of iron chests with title deeds of vast landed estates. He used his capital in commercial enterprises, in projects of startling conception. Like a FRANKLIN, like a JACKSON or a LINCOLN ; like the example of to-day, from the tiller of a sloop he has transferred his executive grasp to the almost supreme control of railways, carving like the foregoing great instances his own path to eminence. He has seen all the PRESIDENTS come and go, to him who now occupies the White House, his per sonal friend; yet his elasticity of mind, or heart, or brain has not been jaded. At an age when others grow retrospective his plans are prospective. He traced one eccentricity to CORNELIUS VANDERBILT in the secret manner of his generosities. Apostro- . phizing the model of art which crowns the St. John's Park depot, the orator burst forth— " Stand there, familiar imago of an honoured man! Stand there, and breast the storms or glitter in the sun shine of coming centuries ! Stand there, colossal subject of metropolitan pride! Stand there, and daily teach the lessons which the results of your own long life inspires. Proclaim, as your life proclaims, that laborious and self sacrificing youth, adherence to truth, inflexibility of honest purpose, and self-reliance are the sure foundations of public and private character upon Ns hich are builded cer tain fame and fortune ! Teach our people that whenever their country is imperilled they should rush to the rescue with family and fortune. Stand there, and tell those whose industry has been crowned by wealth, that the honours of life and the praise of future generations follow those, and those only, who make the world better for their living in it!" While this was progressing, in another part of the city the occasion was being observed with some what simi!ar ceremonies. The world labours under a most erroneous impression about those who are light-hearted, and those who are heavy hearted, the people who are merry, and the people who are grav e an d melancholy under the weight p of their occupations. A soldier's life is popularly sup posed to be jovial, and the mess of a British regi ment is universally but erroneously thought to be as gay as it is in reality dull and monotonous. The last place the public look to for fun is the Stock Ex change; yet there is mare fun in the London Stock Exchange than under any other roof in the British Empire, and Oty same may be said of that in New York. In truth, it is only in Wall-street that brokers dared openly to get up the burlesque of the 10th instant. Considering that dulness has pre vailed, descending almost into despondency, since the celebrated gold gamble ; that all pro perty has declined greatly in value ; that the men who carried on this farce must themselves have been among the chief sufferers, it is pleasant to e their " chaff" supplying them with so much amuse ment, even at the expense of a really good citizen like Commodore VANDERBILT. The Long Room of the Stock Exchange was crowded, the gallery was occupied by the Glee Club, and the voices of the brokers came up from the pit, as in the Gold Room during the great panic. At 12.30, LAZARUS, the statue, stalked to its place in the centre, and was gracefully draped with a shawl. Then the hubbub ceased, and the Chairman's address sounded through the hall, showing how the heavens smiled on the undertaking, all nature being jubilant. Suddenly his grandiloquence was interrupted, by an injunction, signed " BENNARDo," forbidding the continuance of the proceedings, in the name of the United States, Buenos Ayres, Patagonia, the Supreme Court, and one or two other high ;Ind mighty Powers. The Chairman, cowed by the ponderous document, appealed to the audience, from whom cries arose Put a head on him ! Put him out !" and the mes senger was ejected. Then the Glee Club, to the tune of " John Brown," sang the following verses in honour of the great railway stock-waterer : Come, all ye jolly brokers, a story I'll relate, About a famous gentleman who lived in New York State ; Consolidated railroads were things he did not hate, As he wont driving on. His a staring machinery as yet has never failed, To show our lasting gratitude this statue's now unveiled ; Befoie Fisk, Gould, and Co., his courage has not quailed, As he goes driving on. This statue was set up for him, and may it last until This very poor old gentleman can his breeches-pocket fill And when he dies we'll surely find that, with an earnest will, He'll still go marching on ! Almost at the same moment that the Mayor of New York was descanting on the virtues of the great VANDERBILT, Mr. WHITE was pronouncing this eulogy in Wall-street : "Fellow-Citizens—ln all ages of the world gratitude for great public services has manifested itself in spontaneous popular ovations to the public benefactor. We are assem bled to-day not to raise a triumphal arch, under which the conquering hero, with captives in his train, may march amid the plaudits of the plebeians, but to unveil a work of art to patrician eyes, wherein, by the cunning hand of the sculptor, we may at once do honour to a great man and a great principle which he has made famous; a principle, tco, which has in turn made him famous. You all know that he whom wo honour commenced life as a waterman, and it is to the use of water, not as a beverage, but as an element of public wealth, which has been the distinguish ing characteristic of the achievement of his later years, and which the artist has striven by an original and unique de sign to make perpetual. We may say of him not only that he commenced life as a waterman, but that water has been the Central idea of his life. Poets in former times have snug the praises of a fluid, the use of which enables one to see things double, but it has been the good fortune of our artist to embody in a statue more enduring than the monumental brass' lie virtues of a fluid, the judicious use of which absolutely doubles the object while you look at it. This is a proud day in the history of American finance. The oyes of all nations aro now turned in admiration to that which you are permitted to behold as the curtain is raised before you." Then the shawl dropped, and the features of LAZA RUS, made into a hideous likeness of the Commodore, were seen. In one hand there was a watering -pot, bearing the mythical number 207, the figure at which once stood New York Central, on the other a boxing-glove. The Glee Club sang another song, but the proceedings were interrupted by the extra ordinary conduct of the statue. When the Chair man was called on for another speech he replied that his heart was too full for utterance, ani so it was with the statue, which became convulsed with laughter, first shook, then swayed, and finally de camped. Thus ended a great day in New York, leaving its relic, in what a correspondent calls " a monstrous allegory in bronze surmounting the pedi ment of the vast ugly railway station of the lludson River Railroad Company, and defying description for its unapproachable hideousness."—A ngle-Ame- rican Times. DOWNPALL OF MORMONISM. BRIGHAMYOUNGbegiIIS to feel himself to bein what Americans call " a tight place," and more than once the prophet has endeavoured to get out of it. He desired and proposed in the time of President BUCHANAN to occupy New Guinea, and the Execu tive was informed that if the United States Go vernthelit made an offer for the improvements in Utah, the " Saints" would clear oat. The shadows of the great war, then darkly falling over the coun try, obscured the question. Afterwards BRIGHAM was prepared with a revelation to proceed to one of the groups in the Pacific, and as he is stid (to we the words of Miss DICKINSON) to be the third largest depositor in the Bank of England, he is in a position to transplant the greater portion of the coin tuunity he leads The truth is, that BRIGIIA3VS head wears a very uneasy crown, for BRIGHAM'S percep tion shows disagreeably the end of Mormonism draw ing near. How best to secure that end may be open to doubt, still it is sufficiently evident that if left alone Mormonism must fall to pieces, and, if not, that it will be crushed out. This is so palpable to all Americans that they are likely to "let the bottom of itself drop out of the tub," to use Miss DICKINSON'S words, and not to employ force unless compelled by Mormon defiance of law. The lady does, however, make the wreck of the tub contingent on BRIGHAM'S death, adding " GOD hasten the day." Her lecture "Whited Sepulchres" is graphic, truth ful, and original, and, in conjunction with a letter lately published in the Times, gives a striking picture of the New Jerusalem and its inhabitants. The cor respondent describes BRIGHAM as with a jaded, wea ried look, being now seventy, and much aged within the last six mouths. Although according an inter view, he regarded the correspondent as a bore, if not as a spy, and BRIGHAM iS justified in thus looking upon his Gentile visitors. If he be " the most married man," as ARTEMUS said, he is also the most " inter viewed man," and when he received ANNA DICKIN-: sox he was aware that he was sitting for " the Whited Sepulchre"—feeling, too, that she did hope he might there soon be carried; or for this photo graph to be transferred from the note-book of the " interviewing" correspondent to the columns of the 7inzes " ila was dressed in a black frock coat and trousers, with a white waistcoat. He is about oft. Bin. in heigbt, thick set, with whiskers of light brown hair meeting under his chin. Ile has small light-blue eyes, a slightly aquiline nose, a square, business-like head, a tight-set mouth, and a strong jaw." All accounts agree in describing the men as sour visaged and the women as ugly. Melancholy is the prevailing feature, as if the Mormons knew they were sinning grievously, and anticipated their doom; yet the correspondent alludes to a self-avowed " Saint," the pink of godliness and morality in his own opinion, who having improper pictures ex posed in his window for sale, in reply to the ques tion, "Are they not disreputable?" coolly said "They were." And this is told as an illustration of what lies beneath the surface " in that wretched place, wretched all the more because it does not see its own wretchedness." But if these Mormons look wretched, is it not an argument that they both see and feel their wretchedness? and all testimony is that they do look miserable, more especially the women. The lecturer tells of an interview she had with the first wife of a Mormon, legally married in England, who then loved the man of her choice, and could not bear that any one should come be tween them, yet in Utah she had grown callous, stolid looking, not seeming to care how many wives her husband had; but when Miss DICKINSON touched her heart the real woman came out, and, as usual, under such circumstances, " wept bitterly." It is absurd to suppose that women would favour a system which gives many wives to the few men, and no wife to the many men ; the marvel being not so much that the many wives should object. but that the many bachelors should tolerate it. This, howeve r , s h ows the strength of a well organized espion.ige, with a severe punishment for backsliding. Th e city is divided into, the cA•respoudent thinks, 21 wards, some say 12. Over each there is a bi3imp, aided by eighteen teachers, who visit and report on every family once a month. The plan is not unlike that of the Chinese Government, and eau be worked more effectually among so small a community. The • family sit round the room, and answer the teacher's questions regarding their religious exercises, the payment of taxes, &c., and if his eye detects any thing untidy they are rated and reported ; for any great transgression the punishment is excommuni cation, when, as the Mormons say, the family are handed over to the buffeting of SATAN, although SATAN, °f in this instance, wears the appearande the Mormons themselves, who certainly glv ° them with a will. This terrible sentence has !Ma been inflicted on two elders—Mr. IlAuutsoN the edito ald Mr. GODBE the publisher, of the Utah Magazine, a weekly periodical, in large circulation Among the "S a i n t s ." A no ther elder, Kg i i s n was turned out becaus e he vo ted in council a g ain. +t expulsion. In the number of the maga zirje following, Mr. HARRISON gave a full, true, and P,A„r; titular account of the acts which had led to so sale,: a result. The cond emne d ar ti c les were " Ou r Wr°l.6.- men's Wages," " The True Development of the 1. ' 4. : ritory," " Steadying the Ark," for which a char?' of apostacy was preferred.
