EZCITZTO-fieEYE - 71T BOULUGNE. On Tuesday morning a very exciting, and what nearly proved to be a tragic scene, occurred on the sands at Boulogne. The night before a strong gale of wind had been blowing, and consequently the flood tide flowed in at a much morerapid rate than usual. A number of both English and French visitors were Lathing at the time, and there were four machines more in advance than the rest. The tide rose with such extraordinary rapidity as to cover the sands, and almost float these four machines. As soon as their dangerous predicament was discovered horses were immediately galloped in to draw them out, but, -as it proved, too late. One animal was all but submerged, and after struggling some time with one of the machines, which he failed to move, he broke away. A number of volunteers went to the rescue of the imperilled occupants of the four machines, who, as may be imagined, were in a dreadful state of anxiety. Among these gallant men one or two Englishmen appeared commendablyconspicuous, one, fully attired, rushing fearlessly into the sea, and did great service in rescuing several persons. Eight or ten persons, both English and French (mostly women) were thus rescued, though in a very exhausted condition ; several lost clothing ani jewellery. Ropes were brought into requisition, and a line of volunteers was formed on the sands until all were rescued, including a little dog, which was brought ashore upon the shoulders of a young French lady. The machines were upset by the waves almost before they were deserted, and one or two completely wrecked. A very distressing scene afterwards occurred. An English lady whose husband and son had gone to bathe that morning, hearing of the affair, rushed to the sands and sought them everywhere without finding them. She inwardly gave them up for lost, though outwardly she preserved a calm demeanour, but when, after an hour's search, she suddenly met her husband and boy quietly walking on the sands, her pent up feelings gave way. She threw herself into her husband's arms sobbing, and the scene that ensued war truly affecting.—From a Correspondent. THE AMERICAN MAIL. The following information respecting the late Feniar warm in Canada 'is given by the Montreal News :—" We understand, on good authority, that a secret effort has lately been made on the part of certain Fenian leaders to induce the ' rank and file' of that organisation to again venture upon a raid into Canada. A portion of them were to have been first sent into the country by twos and threes, and meeting by apt oint ment at certain points in some of the larger towns of Ontario; to try and do a little in the way of incendiarism and assassinatior, while a formidable armed force crossed the border. The whole plan, we are informed, was made known to Mr. Thornton, who at once communicated with the Dominion authorities. We do not believe that there is much ground for anticipating anethcr Fenian raid, but it is gratifying to know that the plans of these miscreants are known to e.r GoVernment almost as soon as they are hid." An effort is making in Canada to unite all the Irish Catholic societies of the Provinces into one grand Dominion Irish Catholic St. Patrick's Society, for the purpose of promoting harmony and goodwill among Irishmen ; of fostering national feeling and love of Fatherland ; of rendering assistance when necessary, by advice or other wise, to persons of Irish birth or descent in' the Dominion, and especially Irish immigrants; and of representing, when circumstances require, the Irish interests of the Dominion when interference may be deemed proper. Speaking of the cotton in the South, the New York Times says :—" We believe our cotton crop of this season will furnish the English market with a better supply of the staple than we have been able to furnish at any time during the last eight years. And there is every reason to think that the crop will increase rapidly„ for the next few years, until we shall export as heavily as we did during the years that preceded the war. The cable gives us news that the Liverpool Cotton Supply Association are again looking to India to make up their short supply ; and in • laying the development of the railway system there, they have undoubtedly taken the best step to secure their end. No country, however, can compete with this in the pro duction of cotton when we are able to carry on the indus try under proper conditions." An extraordinary fight on a Mississippi steamer, the Dubugne, which took place a few days ago, is thus nar rated. It appears that 150 raftsmen took passage on the steamer at Rock Island and Davenport. When the steamer started a negro deck-hand was placed at the forward steps to guard them while the clerk colledted the tickets of the passengers. One of the raftsmen being refused passage by the negro deck-hand assaulted the black, and was promptly knocked down, and the steamer stopped at Hampton, when the raftstnen attacked the coloured men, driving them into the river. Four of them were pelted with lumps of coal and finally drowned. Another coloured man, who had been badly stabbed, was dragged from a lady's state room and thrown overboard. He was drowned before help could reach him. The : afts. men then took possession of the boat, and compelled the captain to head the steamer up stream ; but, I.efore start ing, telegraphed the particulars of the affray to the sheriff at Reck Island. The sheriff chartered an extra train, collected a large force of well armed men, and the boat was overtaken at Clinton, and possession taken by the sheriff. On her arrival at Rock Island forty of the captured raftsmen were taken to gaol, and no further trouble is anticipated. Rock Island is full of raftsmen who have come ashore, but an extra force of police has been stationed throughout the city. Once a Week has been purchased by Messrs. Cooper, of Fleet-street, who will publish it henceforth. It will not be illustrated, and Mr. Dallas ceases to edit it. The choir of Exeter Cathedral is to be restored by Mr. Gilbert Scott, at a cost of upwards of £12,000, towards which the Chapter subscribes .£3,C00, the Bishop of Exeter £l,OOO, and the Dean £l,OOO. A bill for the abolition of ComrulFory Church Rates in Scotland, introduced by Mr. M•Larrn, Mr. Crau furd, and Mr. Graham, has been published this morning. It proposes the substitution of a voluntary rate, on the basis of the English compromise, for the compulsory rate which it abolishes. CHILD MunDEß.—One of those cases which in some degree explain the high rate of infant mortality in London was heard at Bow-street on Wednesday. A man, his wife, and their neice, were charged with having con cealed the birth of an illegitimate child, the offspring of the Liter. Two stories were told in order to account for the infant's disappearance —one that it had been burnt, while the other was contained in a statement of the elder female prisoner, to the effect that " her husband was very good in opening the sewers. He would put the child down and no one would know anything about it." She also added that " three or four times it has been the same." The young woman was not sufficiently well to attend, and the further hearing was adjourned. THE ST. PANCRA.S GUARDIANS.—The result of the quarrel between the St. Pancras Guardians and the Poor-law Board has been most disastrous in the workhouse. There the officials have been quarrelling for some time, and the climax of their dispute was reached this week. The matter has been brought before the guardians, who have requested one of the officials to resign for taking upon him more authority than he possessed. 'Whether, seeing that the Poor-law Board has suspended their power in respect of the officials, the guardians have not themselves done that for which they have censured Mr. and Mrs. Cannon, is a matter that will hardly be worth discussion. AN INMATE or THE BLACK CELL.—At Leeds, the other day, Ann Napton was charged with committing a violent assault on Miss Sykes, one of the female attend ants at Armley Gaol, on the 6th inst. The complainant had received instructions to remove the prisoner in conse quence of her misconduct in the dark cell, and while she was being conveyed thither the prisoner attacked Miss Sykes in a violent manner, scratching her face and attempting to bite her. The prisoner, while the trial pro ceeded, conducted herself in a very unseemly, outrageous manner, making use of obscene terms, and then laughing hysterically. • There had been several reports against her in gaol, and she had been kept in the black cell for three days together. She was now sentenced to two months' hard labour. Foreign Mail Packet List. MAILS DUE. ustralia and New Zealand, via Southampton..,..

Aug. 11 LIW AND POLICE, A Poison co CAsr.---Another poisoning case has just been decided at the Leeds Assizes. William Pickeragill was charged with, murdering Rebecca Horsfall, at fteaghall, on the 30th of May. The prisoner was a brick layer ; the deceased was a farm servant. He had pro posed to her, and she rejected him. Nevertheless, he continued to court her. She at last declared she would deny herself to him if he called again. On May the 30th he appears to have written to her to meet him, and she went across some fields, and met him at a stile, where the two were seen together. She was next morning taken very ill, and died at nightfrom (as the doctors distinctly stated) arsenical poisoning. The prisoner does not seem to have had any specially easy access to arsenic, hut casks of it were used at some works at which the prisoner was on May Before her death the deceased made a dying statement. " I saw William Pickersgill," she said, "last Sunday night, at Foskitt's about seven o'clockin the evening. He was about five minutes with me. He asked the to drink something cut of a bottle, and I did drink. I don't know what it was. I drank it out of the bottle. He took the bottle out of his pocket. I was well in health up to the time of his coining to see me on Sun day night. About a quarter of an hour after I had drunk the stuff out of the bottle I began to feel very ill and sick. It was in the grass field, not far from the house, where I drank from the bottle. He left me directly after drinking it. I feel that lam getting worse and am going to die." The jury found the prisoner not guilty. RAILWAY PRO szcirri ox.—The London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company on Wednesday prosecuted another passenger for having left a train whilst in motion. The defendant was a lady who bad fallen upon the plat form as the result of her inadvertence. She was fined 10s. by the Lambeth magistrate.---A passenger on the North London line was summoned to 'Worship-street for having refused to deliver up his ticket on arriving at his destination, and was convicted in a penalty of 20s. and the costs. INSOLENCE PIINISHED.—A cabman has been charged at the Westminster Police-cburt with having used insolent and indecent language to a lady whom he had taken as a "fare," and from whom he demanded more than the believed to be legally his due. He was fined £3, with the alternative of six weeks' imprisonment, and his license was suspended for two months. EMBEZZLEMENT.—The charge against a man tamed Radford of Laving embezzled 114,000 belonging to the North Lancashire Building Society was again investi gated at Manshester. It was contended for the prisoner that the moneys were not the property of the building society, but of individual members, and that Radford was not the servant of the latter. The magistrates sent the case for trial. A THEATRICAL DISPUTE. The Croydon Assizes this sessions seems to be prolific of important cases. One of some interest was tried ou Wednesday. It was an action brought by Mr. Calcott, the well known theatrical scene painter, against Mr. Barry Sullivan, the lessee of the Holborn Theatre, to recover damages for a wrongful dismissal and for the breach of a contract he had entered into with the plaintiff. The case on the part of the plaintiff was that in the month of April last, at which time Mr. Sullivan became the lessee of the Holborn Theatre, he entered into an agreement with that gentleman, under which the services of himself and his brother, Mr. Albert Callcott, were to be retained as scene painters for the establish ment at a salary of £l2 a week for one year, Mr. Callcott to find assistants and materials out of that allowance at his own expense. The intention of Mr. Sullivan was only to perform pieces of the high drama, as it is termed, and the first play he proposed to put on the stage was Lord Lytton's drama "Money." It was admitted that the piece was brought out in a hurry, and as the scenery then in the theatre was only calculated for a very different class of performances, and as there was not sufficient time to paint new scenery, the plaintiff only received instructions to paint certain new scenes, and the piece was per formed and had a successful run. It appeared that Mr. Sullivan then entertainer; some idea of bringing out " The Gamester," but he abandoned it, and substi tuted Sheridan's comedy of the School for Scandal" instead, and the plaintiff bad instructions to paint come fresh scenery fur this play, and it was produced on the 19th of June, and it also had a good run. Some disagreement, however, seemedto have taken place, and on the 23rd of June Arr. Sullivan wrote the following letter to the plaintiff :—." Your gross neglect, or I may say laziness, compels me to say I can no longer bear your conduct, and herewith I inform you that I have made arrangements to do without you in future." The plaintiff went to the theatre subsequently, but was refused admis sion, and the present action was brought to recover damages for breach of contract.—Mr. Callcott, the plaintiff, was examined, and was subjected to a long cross-examination, with a view to show that he had used some old scenery that had been employed in a melodrama called "Blow for Blow," and that some of the scenes he had painted for the "School for Scandal" were complained of by the defendant as being totally inapplicable for that comedy, and he admitted that Mr. Sullivan did ccmplair► of the scenery, but he declared that there were no grounds for his complaint. He admitted that the defendant had sent a message to him requiring him to paint a handsome drawing room scene, and that be said he would be if he would paint such a scene unless he knew what it was wanted for.—The defence was that the plaintiff had systematically neglected his duty almost from the com mencement of the engagement, and that with regard to the play of " Money," although he received special in structions from Mr. Sullivan to prepare certain new scenes for that play, be altogether neglected to do so, and that he was hardly ever at the theatre, and Mr. Sullivan could never find him when be wanted him.— Mr. Barry Sullivan was called as a witness, and he stated that he considered the plaintiff had grossly neglected his duty, and stated that the scene he first set up as the library, or screen scene, was so utterly unfit for the purpose for which it was intended, that the moment he saw it he insisted upon another scene being painted. In that second scene he made use of an old " flat "in which there was a cupboard-door, and this was placed immediately behind the screen where Lady Teazle was to be concealed. lie considered that thesuccess of his undertaking was endangered by the plaintiff's con duct.—Oa cross-examination, Mr. Sullivan admitted that after the plaintiff was dismissed his scenery was used during the whale run of the comedy, and said he did not have it altered in any way.—The Lord Chief Baron, in the result, eft it to the jury to decide whether the defendant had made cut a resonable ground for breaking his contract, cud after deliberating for nearly an hour, they found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages £lOO. ALMOST BURIED ALIVE.—A Nashville, Tenn., negro, supposed to be dead, having received a sun-stroke and fallen apparently lifeless, a few days ago, was placed in a coffin and made ready for burial, when s!gus of life were shown, and he slowly revived. A coroner and jury had held an inquest, and rendered a verdict of "Death from sun-stroke."—New Yuri' Times. AN EXPENSIVE DOLL.—It is said that the Khedive of Egypt, before leaving Paris, gave an order at one of the principal toy makers for a doll which is to exceed in its dress and ornaments any recently heard of. It is intended as a present for one of the daughters of the Sultan, and some idea of the style in which it is got up may be given by stating that in the ears are diamonds worth £2,080. The unionist inpsons of Manchester arc still on strike, but any prrspect they ever ma) have had of forcing the masters to submit to their terms would seem to have completely died away. There are now close upon E.OO non union men at work in the city. This is an inadequate supply of labour, tut it enables the employ era to make some progress in the executh , n of their contracts, and there is no disposition shown to get rid of the diffieu:ty by conceding the points upon which the unionists are insisting. The strike has now lasted 17 weeks. QUEENSLAND GOLD FIELDS. —The Rockhampton Bulletin announces that "another great goldfield in the north has been proclaimed. The testimony of the Govern ment geologist, Mr. Daintree, which is given with a freedom from exaggeration marking his other reports, leaves no room to doubt the existence of an extensive goldfield on the Gilbert ranges. A rush from the other goldfields la's already set in." The :Trar2d,or7le://t Cronick speculates upoe the proballe consequences of anotlier Cymple half- way between V e Pacific and the tlerpentaria G nlf, and observe,: that there is " reason for concluding that the aurife rous , :cpesits in that direction are cortined to the par tic:oh:r con-plexus gullies and r:.nges now being worked. The ascertained exi,tence of the precious metal on the Upper Cloncurry, far away to the south-west, and on the same axis of elevation, as well as in the great island of New Guinea, to the northward, points to the proba bility of the whole southern and eastern watershed of the Gulf eventually turning out auriferous in places. The great peninsula of Cape York has yet been only superficially examined, and until its geologu'al structure is more accu rately known, it is impossible for anybody to fix definitely the northern limit of our gold-hearing recl:s. The most powerfnl stimules to exploration—gold—is now supplied. end population, the most perfect ag,•ncy for effecting will not be slow to follow. It scene as though we were on the eve of one of those great and sudden developments, necessitating comprehensive political changes, which have been so common since the era of the first gold diacoveriet in California." rHE SUN, LONDON,- MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. -d_ M. GLADSTONE.. - Mr. Gladstone and. family received invitations to spend part of the recess in Ireland from not fewer than three members of Parliament residing in the vicinity of the Killarn ey Lakes. The Premier has, how ever, deeidednot to go, on the ground, according to the correspondent of the /risk Times, that in the present state of feeling the visit might be considered inop portune, whilst in the following year circumstances of State policy might render his preseme among the Irish people matter of official duty. TEE LAW comm. The question is settled : wherever the New Palace of Justice is to be built, it will not be commenced until Parliament meets again. Mr. Lowe has given a final announcement that the Government cannot move in the matter—a result for which the public have him to thank. He lost six months by wrang ling about the Howard-street site, and six more will now be lost -because the settlement has been deferred until it is too late to get a grant from Parliament. The loss of time is.most serious, but the loss of money amounting to many thousand pounds ought not to be regarded as trifling by an economical Government. TILE LABOUR OF HERCULES. Though Mr. Bright has not been very demonstra tive at the Board of Tradc, his term of office has by no means passed in idleness. For a long time the mercantile community has been looping for an amendment and consolidation of the laws relative to merchant shipping and navigation. Little progress was made with this stupendous work until Mr. Bright came into office • but under him it has been completed. A ,bill to contain the law of the whole subject has been drawn up and will await the House of Commons next session. This measure is no"childish tinkering." Compared with it, all ordinary measures sink into utter insignificance. It contains 800 clauses, and fills a quarto volume. Nor is it a mere condensation of previous Acts. Many changes have been introduced, including new regulations for the registration of ships, the measurement of their net ton nage, the carrying of deck cargoes, the examination of shipmasters and other officers by the Board of Trade, the protection of seamen from crimps, the enlistment of merchant sailors in the Royal Navy, &e. Mr. Bright deserves all praise for the speedy completion of this great work. OUR LEGISLATORS. The report of Tuesday's sitting in the House of Commons furnishes a remarkable illustration of the average intelligence of the Brit'sh M.P. Mr. Alder man Lawrence got up and said in effect to Mr. Lowe, " I don't understand your conundrum re specting the coinage. You suggest that the Mint should make a charge of 1 per cent. for coining money, whereas it now does the work for nothing. Do you mean that the person who now beta 1(X) sovereigns for a bar of gold will in future receive only 00, weight and quality being the same; or do you propose that the gold which is now made into 100 sovereigns will in future be converted into 101 lighter coins, the Mint retaining the odd one F" Mr. Lowe answered, "My conundrum involves neither of these propositions. The person who brings to the Mint a bar of gold, for which he now gets 100 sovereigns, will get 100 still, but one grain will be retained from each coin. This grain of gold, value about twopence, will be kept by the Mint to cover the cost of coining." Will it be believed ? Mr. Lawrence hereupon got up and wished to understand whether the person bringing the bar of gold would pay anything for coining it ! Really members of Parliament ought not to expect Cabinet Ministers to keep a school. TIIE ANTRIM ELECTION. The Dublin correspondent of the Standard triumphantly refutes the charge of the " Belfast LOA:heal prints," that the tenantry in Antrim county were not at liberty to vote independently. Lord Arthur Hill Trevor has issued, as wo have mentioned, a circular stating that his tenants may do as they please with their vote, and that none of them "shall ever hear of the subject to their disadvantage." This good example has just been followed by Lord O'Neill. But is not the confidence of the correspondent a little premature ? The conduct of these two noblemen in according their Liberal tenants that great and rare boon—liberty of conscience—is deserving of alipraise; but are there not more than two landlords in Antrim ? Sir Shafto Adair, the Liberal candidate, is in evident fear of intimidation. In an address just delivered he called for the Ballot as the only remedy for an "intolerable evil." COMPrI.SORY VACCINATION. A strong deputation from East London has waited upon Earl de Grey to request that gentleman to present to the House of Lords a petition praying for the abolition of compulsory vaccination. As this interview took place on Tuesday, the last werhing clay of the s(asion, the league against vaccination must be accused of dilatoriness but Dr. Pearce and others found an opportunity of expressing their opinions. They denounced vac cination on the ground that it is ineffectual. Eighty-three per cent. of the patients in Iligligate hospital had been vaccinated. The mortality was not much greater amongst the unvaccinated suf ferers. Very many children died from the effects of the operation. The deputation even thought .that diphtheria and consumption were the direct result of this " poison "—and, on the whole, it seems .sur , prising that hanging was not attributed to the same fruitful cause. One gentleman delivered himself of the opinion that the Privy Council doctors ought to be indicted for poisoning the nation. Earl de Grey disagreed altogether w ith th e s p eec h es; b ut of course he promised to present the petition. The " League" ought to remember that there are two sides to a question. Nobody claims for vaccina tion the property of absolutely preventing smallpox; but it is urged that in the vast majority of cases vaccinated persons aro not attacked, and that the few who are suffer only in a very small degree. In 1803, from the accumulated neglect of vaccination under the previous lax law, which, when nominally compulsory, provided no machinery for enforcing its prpvisions, the deaths from smallpox in a single town in England--Sheffield—were nearly -ten times as numerous as the deaths from the same cause in all Scotland and Ireland put together, where the law has been strictly enforced since 1804. UNIVERSITY EDUCATION IN IRELAND. The question raised by Mr. Fawcbtt has given rise to a stern discussion amongst the Catholics them selves. The point at issue is this: the moderate Catholics support the member for Brighton's plan of throwing open Trinity College seats, in the governing body and all, on equal terms to members of both creeds ; but the Ultramontanes, as might have been expected, favour the opposite s c h eme . They want an establishment to themselves, thus rendering university education still more sectarian, instead of secularising it, after the plan of Mr. Fawcett. One graduate urges, in favour of the separate scheme, that if the Junior Catholic Fellows are allowed to become Senior Fellows—the go verning body—it will be twenty years before they rise in the ordi nary course o f nature to the Senior board. If, on the other hand, they are elevated to the Senior board at once they will delay the rise of those Junior Fellows who have well earned their promotion. The Telegraph expresses the opinion that the Irish laity are determined, in any event, to prevent any such increase of the priestly power as would accompany the grant of a State Charter to a Roman Catholic University, with its clerical teachers and its essentially clerical instruction. " For the first time in the history of Ireland we shall see a bitter contest within the Roman Catholic Church." ENDOWED SCHOOLS. The Commissioners under the new Endowed Schools Act have set up their temporary office in Victoria-street, 'Westminster, and propose to get to work immediately. The governing bodies who have a right to initiate schemes for the reform of the schools entrusted to their care are invited to send notices of their intentions. Moreover, the Commis sioners ask all persons, whether legally connected with schools or not, to forward any communications which they may deem useful. Whilst the discredit able perversion of middle-class educational endow ments is being reformed, the work might as well be done as thoroughly as possible. AN ACCOUNT OF HIS STRIVAIIDSHIP. 3lr. T. E. Smith, the member for Tynemouth, is among the first of the parliamentary stewards who have gone to their constituents with their accounts. Mr Smith's report to the North Shields electors may be shortly summed up, On the Irish Church question he has supported the Government on every occasion save one. Ile did not like the tithes to revert to the landlords, and so voted for the postponement of this appropriation. He had voted for the University Tests Bill, the Endowed Schools Bill, the Married Women's Property Bill. and the measure for the reform of Scotch education, Speaking of the future, he said the time was nut far distant when his constituents would have the Ballot. The Lords had shown by their action on the Irish Church Bill that th !,37 needed reform by the introduction of lifo peerages, or in some other . way. FALSE WEIGHTS AND MEASUEES. The issue of a parliamentary paper containing the names and addresses of all persons who have been convicted in the metropolitan district within the last six months for using short weights and measurer, and have been fined sums of not less than forty shillings each, has given rise to s9ine suggestions of amend ment. It is a good thing to punish tradesmen who defraud the poor, and publicity is beyond, question the most salutary infli c ti on ; b u t it is little use registering names and addresses in an official docu ment. Those persons who look at parliamentary papers do not deal with small tradesmen, and the Zoor who are robbed do not see official returns. We EMRSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 12, 1869. =mot 2117.11 Tile*. ears or an offending tradesman to his doorpost, as did the Cadi in the 4 ' Arabian Nights; "-but several journals repeat the suggestion that these particulars, which are nosy hidden away, might be published in parochial lists and affixed to the church-door. The Daily News even thinki that the names and addresses should be read out in church after the commandments. " Let your light shine before men." The Daily News, however, does not point out why fraudulent trades men should be punished in church and not other offenders. denied the right of Saxony to independent diplomatic action, and objected to the interference of foreign Powers in a question between Prussia and a member of the Northern Confederation. JUDGES AND REVISING BARRISTERS. " A Lawyer " holds that, notwithstanding what has been said in Parliament and elsewhere, a flagrant case of nepotism is proven in the appointment of at least one' revising barrister. Certain legal gentle men complained hat the judges had agreed not to appoint revising barristers for more than a year, in order that the preference in filling the places might the more readily be given to the sons of the great legal functionaries. In reply to this, Chief Baron Kelly stated that under the statute revising barristers are appointed only for one year. The, udges have no power to make them per manent or temporary at their pleasure. This, says "A Lawyer," is all casuistry, for it is the practice to re-appoint the same barrister; unless in cases of mis conduct ordisability. Theoliice is permanentin usage, if not according to the letter of the law. And yeV a revising barrister who has in former years been appointed and reappointed is no longer in (Alice. The " grandson of a former Chancellor" revises in his stead. BETTER 110 USES FOIL WORKING MEN. Seldom is a commercial report such pleasant read ing as that of the half-yearly meeting which the company formed some years since to improve the dwellings of the working classes have just held. This enterprise is successful in every sense. The company buy old buildings in the metropolis, and erect decent houses, which they let to the poor at moderate rents. They own altogether, finished or building, 903 dwellings, which are capable of accommodating some 4,500 persons. No want of the London poor is more urgent than the want of good shelter, as is evidenced by the devo tion of the Peabody Fund to the construction of good and cheap houses. And in the case of this company the philanthropy pays. Alderman Sir Sydney Waterlow, the chairman, announced at this meeting that they had as much capital as they could use; that though rates had enormously increased of late, yet the rents paid by their poor tenants re• mained the same • and that, notwithstanding this in creased burden, the directors could pay a dividend of five per cent. with a good balance to carry for ward. THE CO-OPERATIVE COLLIERIES. The Messrs. Briggs' Co-operative Collieries—at which the profits above a certain percentage are equally divided between masters and workmen—are still prospering. The report for the past half-year, which has just been issued, recommends a dividend of 5 per cent, to the shareholders, and shews that a balance of more than £6,800 will then be available 'or equal division. 'the sharelio!ders altogether on the year will have obtained a dividend of 131 per cent, on their shares ; the men will get a bonus amounting altogether to £3,462. The net balance of profit and loss account on the year, after the usual deductions, amounts to £22,341. THE ENGLISH VOLUNTEERS ' VISIT TO LELGIUIL Diubts are expressed of the wisdom of English volunteers going across to Liege to the Belgian rifle fetes. The invitation is given by the Belgians because it will " tend to draw still closer those bonds of friendship which have so long and intimately united the two countries." And in order to increase good feeling the Eneish are to be well treated end lionised; they are to be received with exuberant hospitality. The acceptance of such a kind offer must, or ought to, involve a return. We tried to give one in 18' ;7 and failed. Many volunteers argue that we should not take what we cannot repay, and appeals are being made to the " Anglo Belgian Executive Committee " to decline the honour offered to them. THE BISHOP OP LICHFIELD ON THE CHURCH. The Bishop of Lichfield has just been advising his clergy about the form of their worship. In a pas toral charge to the Archdeaconry of Stafford, he remarked that the choral services always preserved by thecathedra Is had now become common. But they were not the highest kind of services; a hearty Congrega tional service was what should be striven after. Let them (he said) avoid all extravagance, and work rather to be united in brotherly love than to enun ciate these or those particular views. THE DISPUTE AMONG THE " ADVANCED " LADIES. We are having a foretaste of what the Ladies Progress Revolution is to do for us in the little quarrel going on in the papers between Miss Faithfull and Mrs. Holyoake. If Mrs. Holyoake wrote pettishly, Miss Faithfull's retort is bitter indeed.

This, amid some expressions of regret at giving pain, &c., Sze., dozes a characteristic feminine quarrel. TUP RIVAL CABLES. It is rumoured on the Stock Exchange that the competition between the two Atlantic Cable Com panies will not be of long duration. Already a traffic, arrangement is said to have been come to. This, says the Star, must mean an agreement as to the rates to be charged, inasmuch as the existing traffic would not, i t is understood, employ the cables more than six hours out of the four and twenty. CRICKET. The " Canterbury Cricket Week," which virtually terminates the season of the national game, has opened with a very fine match between the North and the South. The former eleven was very strong in bowling, and the latter much superior in the bitting department. In the first innings the North made 107 ; but owing to the fine bowling, the great bats of the other side were all out for 83, Jupp and Mr. W. G. G race con t r ib u ti ng no thing. The second innings of the North realised 154, and then the two Southern champions redeemed themselves, Mr. Grace making 90 and Jupp G 3. By these great scores the South reached the winning number, 179, with the loss of only two wickets. DISPUTE bEI- , ;;;'N Tdr, SULTAN AND THE VICEROY. A special tele g . m from Constantinople informs us that the quarrel betwe n the Sultan and the Khedive of Egypt is assuming a serious aspect. The latter personage has ordered a large quantity of breechloaders and a ship of war. The Sultan has countermanded these instructions. The danger of rupture, then, is imminent. It is questionable how far the Sultan has the power to interfere in this way, for it has generally been understood that the Khedive had the right to make his own arrangements respecting his army and navy. He owes the Sultan a general allegiance, but the latter has not hitherto interfered in matters of detail. SPAIN. The Carlist cause is still "on the decline," and seems likely to remain in that condition. The factions in La Mancha have dwindled away till only one is left, and that is in anything but a flourishing state. The chief of the Carlist party, defeated near Ciudad Real, has, it ap pears, been asking indulgence for himself and some of his followers. Four columns are pursuing the band lately commanded by Balangetegna in the province of Leon. The death of the chief we have already anncunced. Mere than sixty of the insurgents who have risen in Astorga have presented themselves to the authorities asking indulgence. From intelligence received from the rebels who have surrendered themselves it seems that Sabariegos has abandoned his party. The forces of the army who have encountered the Carlists in La Mancha and Leon have only lost one officer and one soldier. The course pursued by the clergy has called forth the most indignant protests, and many of the journals comment upon it in th e s t rongest terms . It is said that the attitude of the hi g h c l ergy i s b eco ming serious, and it is strange that th e y do not raise their voice to recommend respect to the G overnment an d the public peace. The greatest surprise h as b een f e lt a t the continued silence of the archbishops and bishops. With respect to the Cir cular that has been published by the Minister of Grace and Justice, it is considered a well-deserved reproach to the ecclesiastical authorities, while it is at the same time most damaging to them. Among the prisoners lately brought to Madrid were five priests. They were assaulted by the mob, in spite of the escort' and two of them sustained injuries. A decided contradic tion has been given to the statement that many of ths? Spanish troops La 1 passed over to the ranks of the Callists. Some arrests have been made among the civic guard of th , ) garrison of Madrid, as it was discovered that they were in communication with Don Carlos. THE SALE OF CUBA. News from Madrid confirms the rumours respecting the sale of Cuba to tho Unitel States. Mr. Forbes, of Boston, who is understood to be the bearer of the Ameri can propositi ons, has had several interviews with the Regent and G enera l P r i m, to w h om h e was p resen t e d by the American Minister. Mr. Forbes's oiler was not definitely accepted, but the negotiations are still pending. AUSTRIA. AND SAXONT. The delegates from the Austrian and Hungarian Par liaments have passed a vote to maintain the Imperial LP t gation at Dresaen. Their object is to enter a protest arz2..ivat the lam:maze of the Prussian despatch, which A TRAGEDY IN BOMB. Our Rome correspondent narrates a painful story. A Neapolitan countess, the widow of a well-known partisan of Mazzini, who was assassinated some few years back by his associates, has been murdered in a railway carriage. She left Naples for Rome on the sth of August, accom panied by two persons, who appeared to be Piedmontese officers. The three got into a coups together, but when the police visited the carriages at Isoletta the officers had disappeared, and the dead body of the countess lay on the floor of the carriage with a bullet through her brain. Her purse and jewellery were untouched, and the crime is attributed to a political motive. A vigorous search is being made for the assassins by the Italian and Roman police, but as yet no trace of them has been found. ROME. Who is to succeed Mr. Odo Russell, is a question which is now being asked with some interest in Rome. The Nazione announced the appointment of Mr. Morier, but nothing certain is known. M. de Bonneville has left Rome for Paris to receive fresh instructions, which will, it is understood, be highly favourable to the Council. THE JEWS IN MOLDAVIA. The Jewish inhabitants of Roumania Lave lately been subjected to much persecution. They have forwarded an account of their sufferings to Sir Francis Go`Amid, and it appears that a " new and unwarrantable spirit of antagonism" has shown itself throughout Roumania. The Jews live in a state of constant terror, and the Govern. ment does not exercise any authority on their behalf. All kinds of legalised injustice are practised upon them, they are forbidden to follow their accustomed trades, and are prevented from acquiring house property. In many places the people have determined to eject the Jews altogether, and the greatest cruelties have been in flicted in carrying out this resolve. In one of the villages was a benevolent Jew who had befriended the people in trouble, but they sheaved him no consideration whatever, and turned him out of his house with his family. These vexatious acts are the more irksome because the Govern ment refuse to redress any grievances. PAhLIAMENTA Y SKETCHES. HOUSE OF COMMONS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. The proceedings this afternoon in both Houses of Par liament presented a remarkable contrast to that witnessed at the opening of the session. Whilst in February all was excitement as to th - probable fate of the greatest measure introduced in modern times, to-day everybody seemed to be troubled with a spirit of ennui, and it was almost impossible to screw up anything like interest in the speech of her Majesty. The Lower House had intended to meet at half-past one, and exactly at the minute Earl Granville, the Home Secretary. and Mr. Glyn could be seen leading together through New Palace Yard. The House of Commons was almost deserted, not more than about half a dozen members being present at the time appointed for the com mencement of business. The front Ministerial bench was tenanted by Mr. Bruce, 1M r. Monsell, Mr. Ayrton, and Mr. Glyn, who were shortly afterwards joined by Mr. Otway. For some minutes it appeared as if the Oppo sition side of the House was to be wholly deserted, but just before the Speaker entered, Mr. Fowler, one of the representatives for the Cornish twin boroughs, came in, and occupied his usual seat behind the front bench. The hon. gentleman, for a wonder, apparently felt ill at ease in his isolated position, and speedily made his exit, not returning until the Speaker had taken his place in order that prayers might be read. One or two other members afterwards kept company with Mr. Fowler, but none of the chiefs of the Opposition put in an appearance. With the exception of three questions, and a notice of motion by Mr. Vernon Harcourt —who threatens next session to endeavour to repeal Mr. Disraeli's only principle left in the Reform Bill—the personal payment of rates— there was nothing to occupy the time. The twenty or this ty Liberals who were present sat listlessly on the green benches, congratu lating each ether on the close of the most momentous session in recent history, and Mr. Glyn had nothing else to do but to chat merrily with the Home Secretary. At two o'clock precisely the doors of the House were closed against the entry of Black Rod, who was per ceived advancing from the Upper Chamber. However, by knocking three times, this exalted functionary was allowed admittance to the People's House, and after gracefully bowing three times, commanded the attendance of " this honourable House to the House of Peers," for the purpose of hearing the royal assent given to various bills, and also to hear the speech for prorogation read. The Speaker, immediately followed by the Govern ment officials and all the rank and file present, obeyed the ' edict, the procession for once being a most creditable one as far as the observance of order was concerned. The 1 roceedings in the Lords occupied nearly half-an-hour, and on the return of the members of the House of Com mons to their own Chanter, the Speaker read time Speech in his usual hesitating style. Nothing more had to be done than to shake hands all round, this formula being commenced by Mr. Bruce and Mr. Denison, and continued by every gentleman present. By a quarter to three the House was empty, the cry, "Who goes home?" resounded for the last time through the lobbies, and the first session of the Reformed Parliament became a matter of history. TILE COMIC PAPERS, (From Punch.) NATURE'S LOGIC.—Papa: "How is it, Alice, that you never get a prize at school?" Mamma: "And that your friend, Louisa Sharp, gets so many?" Alice (innocently): "Ah!

" PUNCH'S" ADVICE TO THE DEFENDANT IN THE JEWISH ABDUCTION CASE.—Thomas, it is to be hoped, look you, that, in compassing sea and land to make a pro selyte, you will henceforth conduct yourself with a degree of scrupulousness which will prevent any repetition of the general remark that you don't seem to be a very Particular Baptist. CHARITY AND CRITICISM. - Brown (reads) : "On Monday last the Princess Teck opened a new drinking fountain in the Regent's Park, erected at the cost of Cowasjee Jejangheer Readymoney, Esq., a distinguished Parsee gentleman, who has lately given more than £lOO,OOO to benevolent institutions in India."—Jones : " Ready money, eh ? And spent it wisely, eh, Brown r Brown : "Parsee money, too. Better far than parsi•monp." (Poke each other in the ribs, and pass to the next para graph). "DISHED IN THE SHELL."—Sir William Armstrong, in his Newcastle address, tells us, in plain terms, that the Attack has very decidedly beaten the Defence. In other words, guns have got the better of armour. Plate we never so thickly, shots will find out the way into ships. As we can't keep the shots out, the next best thing, Sir William suggests, is to let the shots out when they have got in, and to build our vessels of iron so thin that the bolt or shell which makes its entrance at one side will make its exit at the other, without leaving a between-decks full of death-dealing splinters behind it, as would certainly be the case with the five-foot thick hulls of the present fashion. It is the old story over again —the reductio ad absurdum of defensive armour on ships at sea, which we arrived at generations ago in the case of soldiers ashore. We have gone on adding plate to plate, till our ships can neither sail nor manoeuvre, just as our ancestors went on loading the man at-arms with steel casing after casing, till lie could neither stand nor go; till, if he was once knocked over, it was as impossible for him to get up again as it would be for a modern ironclad of the last thickness to keep afloat when once a shot or a ram had knocked a hole in her between wind and water. " Down among the dead men" would be the song fur ship so struck now, as it was once for knight so bowled off his legs. We are glad Sir William has come to this common-sense conclusion at last. Punch came to it long ago. The Admiralty, let us hope, will follow, as it usually follows a good lead, Longo intervallo. (From Fun.) THE MOST EFFICIENT G OVERNMENT-INSPECTOR. —The Public.

SlR,—Without desiring in the least to provoke a controversy with reference to the points discussed in your articles and my previous letter on the Canadian question, I shall esteem it a favour if you will permit me to offer a brief rejoinder to your remarks on my last communication. My object in first addressingyou was toshow that, whereas Canada is now enjoying far greater prosperity than the United States, the discussion of annexation as a means of bettering the condition of the former country was a simple absurdity. In support of my premises, I proceeded to show, and I think you will admit my having succeeded i❑ my task, that Canada, taken as a whole, shows a rate of increase in what is generally conceded to be a just index of progress, viz., population, about one-fourth greater than that which obtains in the United States. I also showed i❑ figures, of which you do not deny the general result, that Canada when compared with those States, which in climate and position most nearly resemble her, shows a per centage of increase as between them, four times greater than that of her rivals. Now, it may be interesting to know why the States on one side of the line are at a standstill when compared with the provinces on the other, but the fact re mains, that the border line separates a rapidly grow ing country from one which is not growing in any thing like the same proportion. It may or may not be true that the efforts made in England by speeches, agents, &c., to induce emigration have produced a greater effect in Canada's behalf than the repellant influence of English rule has effected in behalf of the United States, but the question is here, not one of causes, but of facts. As to the im propriety of comparing the far Western States with the Dominion, it would — seein impossible that opinions should vary. If Minnesota, &c., are to enter the calculation, let them be compared with tke Red River country and British Columbia, either of which will show an increase as much greater than that of the most favoured Western States as Canada's increase is greater than her neighbours. And, in conclusion, I would ask whether any objec tion can be made to taking as a basis for computa tion the whole of each country during the most favourable decade known to the United States, and before half the latter country was exposed to the de solation and depletion of disastrous war. I re gret to say that I cannot see the force of the objections urged against pro rata comparisons. Here, again, as where you contrast the extent and population of British America with those of the States, as you have done, it seems to me you do not make clear the diAinction that must be observed between numbers and growth ; and although you imply the contrary, I conceive that the progress of a small town which, as a rule, should double its population annually, would indicate far greater growth and prosperity than obtains in London, even although the former might be utterly insigni ficant when compared with the latter in respect to size. Concerning the statements generally made, and too generally accepted, as to the proportion of emigrants that leave Cana h for the United States :although it seems sufficient remain to give Canada the advantage), I am convinced that they are with out good authority. Many, doubtless, pass through the country on their way to the West, who simply prefer that line of travel, because it seems shorter, and who have never proposed stopping in Canada ; but of those who may be truly termed Canadian rnigrantsthe greaterproportion undoubtedly remain n the country. This will, in fact, account for its rapid growth, although the latter fact may also be in part attributed to other. causes. We are aware, for instance, that Canada is the most healthy country on the globe, the ratio of births to deaths being 3.75 to 2.G7 in the United States, and 1.93 in many of the healthiest of European countries. Its annual death rate, too, is but 98 in 10,000, com pared with 124 and 184 in the two latter countries respectively. As to American railways, and the profits they bring to English stockholders, I must refer you to the English holders of Atlantic and Great Western and Erie shares for data as to how far mismanagement and conflicting authority may diminish dividends without showing lack of pros polity. In referring to the implication contained in your category as to which power would hold the Canadian ship canals, ten d 'ys after a declaration of war, I will simply remark that I was not aware that you had revised your opinion of Senator Chandler's " thirty days' " proposition, to which I believe you alluded in your article on this question. In allusion to that " broad prin&ple," the Monroe doctrine, which was fashioned at first only as an instrument wherewith to tickle the vanity of the American people, does it not occur to you that its recognition would require us to give up India on a similar protest from the Chinese, as representative Asiatics, resign Guaina to Brazil, and surrender Cape Colony to the potentate of Timbuctoo? I fear, sir, that it will take a long time to convince Eng lishmen, who can distinguish between nzeunz and tuum, that my neighbours' property is mine by Divine right, simply because it lies near enough for me to seize it, for such is the Monroe doctrine. In concluding this, which must be my last letter, as I leave town at once, permit me to remark that had I been led by your comments to reverse opinions which have resulted from laborious investigation, I should have written an acknowledgment rather than an argument, for I am always happy to be convinced ; but as I have not . been so led, I shall esteem it a favour if you will permit me publicly to give the reasons why.—Yours, YOUNG CANADA. [lf we cannot convince "Young Canada," neither can he convince us; indeed, we believe his "labori ous investigations" to have been on the path of error, wherein he has become so encumbered with what he has culled, that he cannot turn. We not only did deny the accuracy of " Young Canada's" figures, but actually pointed out the errors, declar ing that if corrected they would alter hiS deductions ; yet, he coolly assumes that we acknowledge their general accuracy. The whole frontier should be taken from the Atlantic to the Pacific for the comparison to be really fair, and the increase then calculated. In that case, the ratio might be used as a test of pros perity, which cannot be so when particular places only are selected. We have no objection to compare Nova Scotia and New Bruns wick with Maine, New Ham p shire and Vermont with the Canadian Territory on the right bank of the St. Lawrence; Michigan with Upper Canada ; Minnesota with Red River ; Da cotah and Washington, with the Hudson's Bay Ter ritory and British Columbia. But our desire is to take the people where they nearly adjoin, and com pare town with town, village with village, and farm with farm. We see no reason to change our mind as to the error of pro rata comparisons. People are people, whether they settle in a country with many inhabitants or with few ; and London, if its popu lation increases by 50,000 in a given time, is more rapidly growing than any town.in Canada, which, in the same period, doubled a population under that number; just as the labourer who, in a week, added five shillings to his former week's savings of five shillings, has made less than the merchant who cleared £l,OOO on that week, although the former may have doubled his capital while the latter added but a mite to his. Such comparisons require to be honestly and intelligently handled in order to be made a true index of relative pro; sperity. Of all the curious errors held by an Ame rican, that of " Young Canada" on the " Monroe doctrine" is the most astonishing. The unity of the North American Continent is a destiny, in a word, too good for any, not excepting Americans. ave to improve in morals and education b eaniry," can realize this splendid idea. " Tickle v Theyf o re t willh y in deed ! Why it is the m3st material, plain, easily conceivable of benefits to a large section of the world. Of course it would be of advantage to Asia to form Asiatics into one community, amal gamated into one race, speaking one language, and with a common law and religion. But, unfortu nately for Asiatics, this can never be—it has been dreamt of for Europe, but, alas ! for Earope, it must remain only a dream ; but for America it is a cer tainty, if the people prove worthy of such a des tiny—but that is the question. The Monroe do 3 - trine is the very reverse of the conquest and theft with which " Young Canada" associates it ; and if he cannot see the benefit that must accrue from I ile levelling frontier barriers and obliterating hos t nationalities, the economy, and the security, wet not going to tell him, as we write for many, and IW for one ; and our readers have had an opportoiti long ago of learning how we estimate such advan l ages.
