The very extensive Distillery now being erected at Belfast, with all recent improvements for the manufacturei of Irish whisky, by Messrs. DUNVILLE & Co., who have gained a world-wide celebrity for their fine old Irish whisky, is to be called "The Royal Irish Distillery." PROGRESS OF OCEAN TELEGRAPHS". (From the Anglo-American Times.) The desire of gain is the influence most univer sally felt, though not the strongest motive with numerous individuals. The first Projectors and layers of the Atlantic Cables will retain fame, how ever little in the end may be their gain, circum stances pointing to the conclusion that it may soon be comparatively small. Although we cannot but regret this, yet they are not the only victims of the march of science, which is apt to trample over its leaders whenever they halt or even slacken their pace where the following is numerous. The cable from France to Massachusetts already laid does not merely work in opposition, but has materially re duced the tariff. We believe that the French line is threatened with a rival, a body of American gentlemen having already applied to the Emperor's Government for permission to land in France another wire from America. Although this was refused, if the Americans persist it must be granted, or Messrs. Reuter and Erlinger may carry back to France the end of the line now at Duxbury ; nor would the British Possessions avail them, for the same reciprocity which the United States will re quire would be demanded also by Great Britain. The French Company, therefore, had better, with a good grace, urge on the French Government the concession before Congress meets and exacts it, or shuts up the Duxbury office. But it is not equal competition the cables already down have to dread, but unequal; .and the true danger of laying - an ocean. line is. that it will surely be beaten in the course of time by invention and the progress of scientific knowledge. The Oceanic Telegraph Com pany, or rather the Great Oceanic Telegraph Com pany, for the former name approximated so closely to a company registered a few weeks ago, that the word " Great" bad to be inserted, proposes to lay an Allan's cable from Ireland to Halifax via Sable Island. That island is in lat. 44 N., long. 60 W. of Greenwich, distant something over 200 miles from Halifax, and from the south-west coast of Ireland over 2,000 nautical miles. The ag gregate weight of that 2,000 miles of Allan's Cable is but 850 tons, while the same length of the Cable of 1866 weighs 3,100 tons. Not only, then, is there an immense saving of material, -brit an ordi nary ocean steamer could be employed to lay the line, which would obviate the necessity for that very expensive and very unwieldy machine, the Great Eastern. While so greatly reducing the bulk and weight, it is claimed for Allan's invention that the strength and durability are increased. The asser tion is, first, that the conductor is a solid copper wire, weighing 2501 b. to the nautical mile, instead of seven No. 18 copper wires, weighing 3001 b, to the mile, as is the case with the Atlantic Cable of 1866. Around the conductor are twenty No. 24 best steel wires, No. 9 gauge. Then comes the insulation, precisely as in the cable of 1866, which completes the work, a coating of hemp being added, merely as a convenience in handling. The size of the 1866 cable is considerably swelled, its diameter being doubled by the external strength and pro tection thereafter applied. There are ten No. 13 galvanized iron wires, surrounded with Manilla yarn, laid spirally round the insulated conductor, but the advocates of the other affirm that the strength should be inside the gutta percha, not out side, where it becomes subject to immediate decay and corrosion. The weight is enormously increased, as is the bulk, while the breaking strain remains the same in both cables, each bearing eleven miles of itself in water. Of course, a cable which dispenses with a considerable proportion of the materials used in the construction of its rival must not only be cheaper to lay, but cheaper to make. Hence it is claimed for the Allan invention, that it gives a superiority electrically, the solid wire being a better conductor than the strand of seven . ; greater dura bility, there being nothing outside the gutta percha to corrode ; and so much cheaper as to amount in the aggregate to little more than half the cost, while the breaking strain is equal. These are the points upon which stress is laid in bringing the enterprise before the public, but to this the Tinzes answers, that no sooner will they have laid their line than another company will come forward with other alleged improvements professing to enable them to undersell its last predecessor, and so on ad infillititni. No sooner was this cue given than two letters ap peared in the City Article c,introverting the state ments made iu the prospectus of the Great Oceanic Telegraph Co., wherein it is claimed that the route is free from the risks of icebergs and of an chorage, and as a through route that it avoids the dangers of tributary lines breaking down. " Inquirer" asks, to what extent is it more direct ? and how icebergs, anchorage, and the breaks-down of tributary lines are to be avoided ? These advantages claimed for the Great Oceanic the public should accept at what each individual thinks they are worth. Of one thing we feel assured, that at Sable Island the line is not likely to be disturbed by anchors, nor, as far as we understand, by icebergs. But the real point of danger to the existing cables is, the cheap ness of construction, always provided that the line can be constructed and laid as asserted. " In quirer" states that the Post-office will soon take charge of the land lines in the United King dom, and is under an obligation for many years to hand over to the Anglo-Atlantic companies all telegrams addressed to America not specially directed to be sent by another route ; and he hints that competition must be met by competition. Now this is the danger. The " Great Oceanic" fix a tariff of is. 6d. per word, while the present charge is three shillings. Of course, if these rates were maintained, the fact that the Post-office was under an obligation to hand all telegrams, not otherwise directed, to the Anglo-Atlantic Companies, would have little weight, for all the messages would be specially directed by the one-and-sixpenny line; but this has weight, that the other lines would imme diately reduce their tariff, and so long as it is not in excess the masses would go a little distance out of their way to send their messages by the Great Pioneer Companies of ocean telegraphy. The main point of interest for all is to what extent cheap messages can stimulate transatlantic telegraphic communication, and a nice point it is. On this subject the Directors of the Great Oceanic say : " The natural increase in telegrams is in a geometrical ratio inversely to the reduction of tariff, and analogous somewhat to our postal service, as has been fully demon strated telegraphically, not only in this country, but else where; consequently the directors of this company are doubtful whether they should not have reduced the rate still further, but have resolved that the public shall answer the question." Thai cheap rates will increase messages has been fully proved, but it is probable that we have no conception as yet to what extent. If cheap lines can be laid, cheap work can be made profitable, the more so as the -cable is available for the twenty four hours of the day without the slightest increase of wear and tear. Four lines to America fully em ployed would lessen materially the mail-bags, and we believe the competition ultimately will be the Telegraph versus the Post. Language, more espe cially English, rapidly adapts itself to changed circumstances, and a sentence of meaning will soon be conveyed by a word. Brevity, conciseness, and despatch will become the spirit of commercial in tercommunication ; and men who get into the habit of doing their business instantaneously and in a few syllables across the Atlantic will scorn the humdrum " waiting game" of letter-writing. It is a luxury ngw that few can afford, but if the pro jectors of the Great Oceanic are correct in their calculations, this mode of intercourse may speedily be brought within general reach. A submarine cable is to be laid at once from Lisbon to the coast of England, the concession having 1 een granted and the tariff fixed at seven francs for a message of twenty words. eparations have also been made for a submarine cable from Odessa to Constan tinople. We note these facts as they indicate the rogres3 of ocean telegraphy, which will slme day line the bottom of the sea like a net, though we grant that the meshes will be large. THE SOCIAL SCIENCE CONGRESS. BRISTOL, TUESDAY, The address of Miss Carpenter on Female Education in India formed an attractive feature in the programme of the soirée at the Victoria Rooms last night. The 'ball-room, in which it was delivered, was crowded to excess. The Rev. Canon Kingsley escorted Miss Carpenter on to the plat form. The address commenced with a reference to the number of subjects which at such a gathering as the Social Science Congress required the time and attention of its members and associates. The qnestion of the colonies and the various interests connected with them came frequently under consideration. Such, however, was not the case with India. The Hindoos, it was observed, though aware of the justice of the English, did not feel that sense of attachment to them which it would be well to see, and which, it might be mentioned, they almost always felt when they made a visit to this country. Whenever there was a friendly sympathy exhibited towards them by Englishmen or women in India, the Hindoos were always ready to respond. It was generally thought they were not a grateful race, that they had not the word gratitude in their language. But then it must be observed that people were seldom thankful for things they did not like, and the Eng lish had done much for India which the race inhabiting the country did not at all like. Passing on to the immediate subject of the evening's address, Miss Carpenter told her audience that she was in duced to go to India, upon the accounts which she read of the miserable condition of Hindoo widows after the custom of sutteeism was done away with. The Hindoo women of the higher classes were not, it was known, well educated, and were kept in seclusion, while the lower class of women were kept to do the hardest tasks, working indeed as slaves. The first thing that struck Miss Carpenter m India was to see how Hindoo gentlemen took their pleasure, abroad without their wives. In some parts a woman had more liberty than in others. Thus in certain towns the Hindoo ladies called upon Miss Carpenter. Wherever the ladies became educated they acquired more liberty. In Calcutta and Madras, but especially in Calcutta, the ladies were especially secluded. Calling upon a native gentleman to see his house, Miss Carpenter, asking to see the ladies, was was taken into a small room, where they were shut up. It might be laid down as the result of experience that as the religion of the people of India became purer, as in the case of the Brahmins, the treatment of their women improved. The Brahmins were found everywhere to be the most advanced members of the race. Several instances having been furnished of the degradation in which the higher class women even were kept, Miss Car penter proceeded to point out the evils resulting from the rule that a Hindoo widow should never re-marry. The educated young men, however, were setting themselves to get rid of that rule, and in several cases had already broken through it. The early age at which marriages took place was noted as an obstacle to female education. In an interval of rest which Miss Carpenter found it necessary to take, one of the higher-caste Brahmins, Surendra Nath Banergea, now attending the Congress, delivered a neat little address much to the de light of the audience, especially the ladies. In concluding her address, Miss Carpenter stated that she intended to return. to India on the 23rd of the present month, to carry on her work amongst the female popula tion. A hearty vote of thanks was accorded to Miss Car penter for her interesting address, All the departments to-day were occupied with volun tary papers. The number of these was large, but the greater part were only of secondary importance. TRADE IN INTOXICATING DRINKS, The drink traffic was the subject of a voluntary paper read by Professor F. W. Newman. The Association, he said, attended in detail to the public education, public health, and public wealth, and treated of them separately, though in reality they were not really separate. There was a potent cause ruinous to all three, which was not prominent in the documents of the Society, which stalked abroad in the world, laughed at scruple and trampled under foot every form of human welfare. It would not be right to allow that formidable agency to escape a most searching discussion. The traffic in intoxicating drink yielded to the Executive Government twenty-one millions sterling of annual revenue as a fraction of the money spent on it— indeed, only a small fraction—of the substance wasted besides the moral ruin. It was a favourite idea with many that education would gradually banish all the mischiefs of seducing liquors. That might be true if any one could kill off from year to year, not only all those who drank too much, but their families with them, and leave none but the duly educated to people the land. Forty years of improved education side byside with the increased development of capital and commercial freedom, had mani fested how feeble a weapon was mere scholastic teaching against the solicitation to drink and its hideous train of miseries to the whole community. Those who trusted to education were now saying it must be compulsory; but compulsory education could not work on that part of the community which it is chiefly desired to affect until drink shops were closed. The Professor imagined the children of a drunkard forced into a school by law. The state in which they would come would be such that, unless the Government could prevent the vice of these parents, it would, in all probability, have to adopt the child entirely. While the State insisted en permitting capitalists to thrive by making drunkards, it loft itself no means of educating drunkards' children, but by a socialistic system, in which the State became universal parent. The friends of education spoke of training as well as teaching, tut training presupposed family life. It would be sufficient, said the professor, to press that until Parlia and the nation elected to feed, clothe, and lodge for nothing the children of drunkards ; the first pre-requi site step for educating them must be a law for making drunkenness difficult. The paper then went on to point out that it availed little to pass laws against inoculation and vaccination, and in general, laws for the health of towns or country in the case of those families in which the seeds of disease were nourished by the drunkenness of parents. A sot could not keep a healthy house, and no laws could force him to do so. It was then demonstrated that, as regarded the wealth of the nation, the effect of the beer house and gin produce was to keep in a state of semi pauperism thousands upon thousands. Having called attention to the fact that the subject he was discussing had been taken up by the Lower House of Convocation, Professor Newman urged that an absolute veto on the drink traffic must be exercised by some one for moral pur poses. The collective public, it was his opinion, ought to have the power co-ordinate with the magistrate. Such a veto, he said, could not correctly be called despotic or tyrannical. This paper was much applauded. At the close of the reading a gentleman asked what effects had been observed in the parishes above a thousand in number —in which, according to a statement in Convocation, no public-houses were found.—Mr. Raper replied that the evidence had satisfactorily established that the best moral effects were observable.—Mr. James Heywood inquired how the proposed veto should be exercised.—Professor Newman replied that the local vetoing vote was to be that of two-thirds of the inhabitants in the district. —Mr. Raper, observing that several proposals were before the country, said that the plan mentioned by Professor New man was substantially the same as that advocated by Sir Wilfrid Lawson in the House of Commons last session. The principle was to prevent public-houses being forced into districts where they were not wanted by the inhabi tants. Government would have to decide the precise way of ascertaining the will of the residents.—Professor New man thought that London would require special arrange ments. The Rev. W. Cairne, of Manchester, dealt with th e Sunday liquor traffic. He traced the history of the laws connected with this difficulty, and enlarged upon the ultimate relations between Sunday drinking and crime, drawing upon his experience as a chaplain in the county gaol at Manchester. The rev. gentleman quoted Mr. Bright's statement that none were so interested in the question of Sunday closing as the families of the licensed victuallers. Great advantages would accrue to all classes from a stop being put to the Sunday liquor traffic. Professor Newman thought that Mr. Cairne scarcely went far enough. There must be provision for more than Sunday closing.—The benefit of the operation of the law adopted in Australia to further Sunday closing was ad verted to by a gentleman from that colony.—Another colonist stated that pressure had to be put on the Legislature to induce it to pass this Act.—The Rev. Mr. Cairne, in replying, pointed to the advantage of keeping temptation away from prisoners. Many of those had actually regretted leaving gaol because of exposure to temptation. TRADES UNIONS. The question of Legislation for Trades Unions was dealt with by Mr. Serjeant Cox. The right of workmen, he said, to assemble for regulating the terms and conditions on which their labour shall be supplied to employers was now generally admitted, and the only question to be deter mined was," What should be the form of that recognition?" The trade societies asked for power to place themselves under the Friendly Societies Acts, and for a repeal of the Combination Laws. But the objection to the former claim is, that those Acts are framed strictly for associations whose funds are wholly applied to benevolent purposes, and whose rules cannot in any way affect others than themselves. They are, therefore, inapplicable to trade societies, whose primary object is not charity. His proposition was to give to them the highest form of legal recognition, with a proportionate amount of responsibility. He suggested that trade societies should be incorporated after the manner of joint-stock companies, with a common seal, with power to sue and be sued in the corporate name, with a memorandum of association specifying the objects, and articles of association containing the rules for the government of the society, the necessary pub licity being the best preventive of any abuse of their powers. They should have the same powers as companies to make bye-laws, and to recover subscriptions from their members. If combining the objects of a friendly society, the rules relating to such object to be distinct from the general rules, and with the table of subscription to be approved by the barrister in like manner. To provide against the abuse of such large powers, he proposed further to repeal the existing Combi nation Act, and by the "Trades Societies Incorporation Act," as he suggested that it should be called, the l de aw fi f n u ed, lobjects of s u c h soc i e ti e s s hould be specifically namely, the right of any number of persons to agree together t o se ll th e i r l a b our an d s kill upon any t erms and conditions they may be pleased to impose. And the Act should further specifically prohibit by penalties the interferen ce i n any manner with the equal liberty of any persons not members of the society to cell their own skill and labour on any terms they ple se. b Missy ie Carpenter,Elucat T i 10 7 , ,c-L'rrnTcruie°ll:l„ of WOMEN. subjectsWiteerEN basis.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT Mr. Tallack in a paper on the " Dignity and Efficacy of English law as diminished by the Capital Penalty," written at the suggestion of Miss Mary Carpenter, argued that all law should be certain in infliction, and thoroughly as well as cordially supported by the general body of orderly and intelligent citizens. It then argued that there was one particular penalty which a large section of the community (including many eminent statesmen and magistrates) were most reluctantly compelled to oppose (both actively and passively) owing to objectlonspecullar to that one penalty, as, for example, its irreparable consequences in case of mis taken conviction, and the hopelessly impossible task of distin guishing, in many instances, between subtle insanity and de liberate guilt. Further, owing to various other circamstances. such as the royal prerogative of mercy, the functions of the Home Secretary, and the long list of judicial mistakes in the past, and precedents for interposition (in conse quqnce of the absence of a Court of Appeal in capital cases), Mr. Tallack urged that the one penalty offered a peculiarly week resistance to the pressure of the numerous body of its opponents. After adducing reasons why such an opposing body must always exist in considerable force, so long as the penalty continues, he pleaded that, inasmuch as law should really be a certainty —a strong and unerring restraint—a power honoured and upheld by all good citizens, in order to secure this efficacy of law, a nd especially in regard to the very worst of crimes, it should be harmonised with the viows of the large and influential minority of abo litionists. To illustrate the law-loving character and justly influential weight of the minority (assuming it to be a minority, which was by no means certain), Mr. Tallack quoted the names and opinions of a long list of eminent men, including statesmen and legislators of all parties. The paper then pointed out the important admissions of other statesmen who had not absolutely pronounced for total abolition. A long list of authors, journalists, and general advocates of abolition was also given. The paper did not enter at length upon the subject as connected with foreign countries. It pointed to the successful results of abolition in twenty-five foreign states, including a hundred years' experience in Russia and Tuscany. The countries where capital punishments had been most frequent, as Spain (till recently), France with its guillotine, and England in " the old hanging days," had, however, pecu liarly abounded in horrible and atrocious murders. write or notfting • OISe IAT MIS ana =area StIOJOCTS. The tone of the " national" papers does not promise well for a fair and equitable settlement. Their language is extreme, the epithet "felonious," in par ticular, being applied to landlords with unsparing liberality. The Nation deplores the agrarian out rages which every now and then occur ; but it ascribes the blame to the landlords. "As long as the landlords continue to oppress, then the retaliation of the tenant may be expected to follow ; and when the law shields the exterminator, the class whose lives and liberties are at stake will yield no obedience to the law." Thus this journal recommends the landlords to give in on the one hand ; but on the other it ridicules the moderate and conciliatory over tures which have been made by certain owners of property. " The time is passed for compromise." By this it appears that whilst the landlords are to put an end to agrarian outrages by doing justice to the tenants, the Nation's view of justice is limited to full and complete surrender. The People of Ireland has no hope that such a " sham" as the British Parliament will pass a measure which will secure the tenant his property, and save him from the necessity of appealing to the rifle for justice. . The Evening Post advocates moderation. a Of one fact we feel persuaded—that to be successful the tenant farmers of Ireland have only to be practical. The leaning of the landlords generally is towards an understanding ; and we do not think that, from the Conservative opposition, taken as a whole, a factious or unprincipled resistance is to be apprehended." The Northern Whig says the behaviour of the so-called patriots is - disgusting. Their extravagant demands only embarrass the Government. Lord Courtown writes in support of thc Conserva tive view. His own practice is to give leases of 21 or 31 years when the tenant asks for them ; but he is opposed to the policy of forcing leases upon those who are content to do without them. His lordship denies that instances of landlords refusing leases through desire to retain political influence are common. THE VALUE OF CREDI7. (horn the Anglo-American Times.) That the Springfield Republican is a good autho rity on the affairs of Massachusetts, few will deny ; but the holders of the Bonds of that State will bear in mind when we quote its remarks, that they were directed at the leaders of a party, and made as strong as possible to impress on them the necessity for economy. That paper asks— " Are the Republican leaders sufficiently impressed with the fact that, comparatively speaking, the finances of Massachusetts are in a worse condition than those of any northern State, and of half the Southern States ? Do they realize that while the National Government has reduced its debt, since the close of the war, by nearly a fourth part, Massachusetts has increased her debt by more than a third part ? Indeed, if we consider only the debt unpro vided for by sinking funds, and in other ways, the increase has been more than 70 per cent.,—for, on January 1,1866, our debt unprovidod for was $8,254,864, while at the same date, this year, it was about $14,000,000 ; the whole debt at that time being nearly $28,000,000. The Hartford and Erie Railroad, and the Hoosac Tunnel, have increased the indebtedness to about $10,000,000, leaving Massachusetts now pledged to the payment of a State Debt of nearly $38,000,000. I When the war commenced, that debt was only $7,000,000, at the close of the war it was 23,000,000, having multiplied five times to make up its present figure in less than nine years, during which period the productive resources of the State had not increased more than fifty per cent. The annual outlay on the State Government has within that time doubled, and the State tax which ten years ago only amounted to $300,000 was last year over two and a half millions, and is expected next year to be three millions. The legislative expenses are twice what they should be, the State printing costs 50 per cent. more than it ought ; the depart ments are all conducted in the same way, and institu tions, such as colleges and other educational esta blishments, are allowed to draw too largely from the Treasury by men who lavish the hard earnings of the people on what they call a liberal policy, and measures of internal improvement. All this is culled from a leading paper of Massachusetts, and let us glance with these facts before us at the rela tive market value of United States Six per Cent. Five-Twenty Bonds, and those of Massachusetts of Five per Cent. A $5OO Five-Twenty Bond is marked on its face with a value slightly over £lOO, and at the market price it costs about £93. A Massachu setts £lOO loan at five per cent. may be quoted at £9O, tberefore the difference in price of a United States Bond yielding £6 per annum and a Massa chusetts Bond yielding £5 per annum is but small at present in the London market. At the same moment that the Massachusetts paper attributes a recklessness of expenditure to the Government of that Commonwealth, the most rigid economy is being enforced by the Government of the United States. While the State is rapidly increasing its debt, that of the Union is being rapidly decreased. While Massachusetts relies on its own narrow boundaries of sterile land, the Federal Government draws on the boundless wealth of the mighty Repub lic. Is it then due to gross ignorance that the credit of the State of Massachusetts is better than that of the Republic, of which it is so small a part? Clearly not, but it marks a lesson all Governments should. lay to heart. Massachusetts has distinguished her career by a rigid adherence to the spirit and letter of her contracts, honourably and liberally inter preted. Under no circamstances has she for a mo ment been tempted to deviate from her honest path, and her reward is in a credit such as few sovereign nations possess. This she has earned, and this she has the right to enjoy. But it is passing strange that a man acquainted with the circumstances, and with any power of estimating comparative values, could put Its money into Massachusetts Bonds to the neglect of those of the United States. If Massachusetts has always been honest, the Fe deral Government has been as strictly so. If Mas sachusetts has the power to pay its debts—the United States possesses that power even in proportion to its vast debt in a still higher degree, and while a reign of recklessness has characterised late years in Mas sachusetts, retrenchment, economy, and liquidation of liabilities, are the prevailing featUres in Wash ington. These are the facts, but the world is hard to move, and it takes long to wear out the impres sion upon it, slowly, and laboriously engraved. That impression, Massachusetts has made; but the Union, not yet ; although it is rapidly doing so, and—in spite of the repudiators—will, within half a decade, rank next to Great Britain, in the strength of its credit. It is too, a remarkable fact, that the very circumstance which ought to stand in favour of the United States militates against it. It has been a Government almost free from debt till lately, and therefore the world has little experience of how it will casry and refund the loans it has raised. Had it, lika Great Britain, been always steeped in indebtedness to an extent mankind knows it cannot repay, its credit might have been very good ; but because it has hitherto kept out of debt, the world considers this a reason that it should not be per mitted to contract a loan, except on the most usuri ous terms. STATE MEDICINE. In the Health Department it was announced that a joint committee of the Association and of the British Medical Association on sanitary laws and State medicine had, through a sub-committee, drawn up a memorial to the Home Secretary, urging the importance of extending the operation of the Royal Sanitary Commission. Several papers, dealing with sickness, registration, and sanitary improvements, were read in this department. In the Department of Economy and Trade a communi cation, prepared by Mr. Nuttall, shewing the defects in the official statistics of co-operation, was presented. The department also dealt with the subjects of railway fares, and the responsibilities of companies in case of accidents. In the Jurisprudence Department the Patent Laws were discussed. The attendance was exceedingly small. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. ELECTION NEWS. The Liberal party appear to be somewhat divided in the choice of a candidate to take Mr. Moncreiff's place. A meeting was held in Glasg•ow on Monday, when Mr. Archibald Smith, of Jordan-hill, was proposed as a candidate, and the mention of his name was favourably received ; but as Aberdeen has not pronounced, it was resolved, instead of standing committed to one name, to appoint a com mittee to confer with a similar committee in Aber deen, and to support whoever may be brought for ward by that joint committee. Mr. Smith has placed himself at the disposal of the Liberal committee, and it is probable that if the Aberdeen and London com mittees are favourable to the candidature of Mr. Stuart Mill, Mr. Smith will retire in his favour. MR. WESTROPP IN THE WITNESS-BOX. The Commissioners at Bridgwater are determined to probe the dregs of infamy to the very bottom. Mr. Westropp was called as a witness on Monday, and was severely handled by the three Commissioners. lle admitted that a relative of his made him a present of £1,500 in 1865, which was conveyed to Mr. Tromp (the " Man in the Moon") by a lady, but he did not know how it reached her hands. On being asked to give the name of the lady, witness declined to do so, when Mr. Anstey declared that they did not draw distinctions between the rich and the poor, and that he insisted upon having the name. After some . parley, the chair man consented to receive the name in private, but on Mr. Westropp still refusing to disclose the secret, Mr. Anstey warmly asserted that ho felt released from the chairman's promise, and that the statement must be made in open court. The witness then offered to mention the lady privately, but the Com missioners determined not to accept the offer. Mr. Westropp was then given twenty-four hours to consider his position, his continued refusal to obey the Commissioners being punishable by im prisonment for three months, and a fine of £5OO. Mr. Westropfs colleague, Mr. Gray, stated that Mr. Spofforth advised him to go to the poll, but not to spend any money. In the course of his canvass he thought there was something wrong, because he hoard sonic people intimating that the other side were going to spend money. lle had thought of retiring in consequence of the knowledge he had gained of the borough. The whole of his expenditure was about £l5OO. InE NEW I.OIM JUSTICE. The rumour that Vice-Chancellor James will be appointed successor to the late Lord Justice Selwyn as one of the Lord Justices of Appeal is likely to prove correct. Although ho was appointed a Vice- Chancellor so recently as December last, his judgments have met with general approval, and it is confidently believed that the Court of Appeal Would be consi derably strengthened by his elevation. Mr. Jessel, the Liberal member for Dover, who distinguished himself in the last session as a sound and able lawyer, is mentioned as the probable now Vice-Chancellor. A PEERAGE DECLINED. The Times states that Mr. John Pemberton Hey wood, banker, of Liverpool, who contested South Lancashire in 1859, and was chairman of the South- West Lancashire Liberal Committee at the last elec tion, has been offered a peerage, which he has declined. Mr. Heywood has always been a consistent Liberal in politics, and took an active part in the agitation for the repeal of the Corn Laws. THE BISHOPRIC OF BATH AND WELLS. The vacancies on the episcopal bench aro being gradually filled up. We have already announced that Dr. Wilberforce has been translated to the see of Winchester, and that Prebendary Mackarness has been chosen to go to Oxford. It is now stated that Mr. Gladstone has filled up the vacancy at Bath and Wells caused by the resignation of Lord Auckland. The Prime Minister has offered the bishopric to the Hon. and Von. Lord Arthur Hervey, rector of Ickworth and Hor ningsheath, and Archdeacon of Sudbury. The new bishop is the fourth sou of the first Marquis of Bris tol, and is now 61 years of age. Lord Hervey is the author of several theologicafworks, and is an ener getic Churchman of moderate opinions. THE LATE BISHOP OF CARLISLE. Some further details of the death of the Bishop of Carlisle have been published. The disease from which he suffered was a malignant internal tumour between the eyes. He consulted surgeons both in London and Paris, and all agreed in recommending , rest. On Friday week h e was sufficiently recovered to take a drive. But in the early part of last week he became worse. On Friday the Archbishop of Canterbury (who was formerly Dean of Carlisle) arrived at Rose Castle, and read over the dying prelate the commendatory prayer from the Service for the Visitation of the sick, which is appointed to be read when death is seen to be at hand. The Archbishop then went out to take a short walk in the Castle grounds, leaving Mrs. Waldegravo and Mr. Waldegrave-Leslie with the dying prelate, and when ho returned to the Palace, after only a few minutes absence, Dr. Waldegrave was dead. He had passed away apparently without suffering. The papers describe the late Bishop as a man of consider able energy, but of strong partisan views. PROTEST AGAINST MR. MACKONOCJHE. According. to the Liverpool Courier, an important protest has been signed by many clergymen against the selection of Mr. Mackonochie as the reader of a paper at the Liverpool Church Congress. Five reasons are assigned for the adoption of this course. 1. That Mr. Mackonochie has been condemned by the highest court of appeal for introducing and long maintaining erroneous prac tices in St. Albans. 2. That for those practices he has made no public expressions of penitence. 3. On the contrary, he has impugned the judgment of the Privy Council, and has not professed to submit to it, except under protest, and in the barest possible manner. 4. That to assign to a clergyman in such a position a prominent place at a Church Congress, appears to treat with contempt the decision of the Privy Coun cil, and to strengthen the unhappy feeling already too prevalent that a mischievous disturbance of the Church is no moral offence in a clergyman. G. That the best course that of objecting- to Mr. Mackonochie's name when first proposed—was net adopted owing to a momentary want of vigiLince at the Congress Committee. The second best course— that of withdrawing his name—was tried and failed, committees behr naturally reluctant to reverse their own decisions. They therefore protest, in order to relieve themselves from all f-uspicion of sympathy with the erroneous practices. The document is signed by 30 clergymen. THE LAND QUESTION. The land agitation has now fairly got posses sion of Ir e l an d. Wh e th er it b e that men's religious principles are not a more weighty considera tion than their yockets, the reader must be left to judge,; certai n it is that the Church Bill never created the stir which has been raised by the expected Land Bill. Poor-law guardians, members of Parliament. landlords, fanners, and thcl public generally speak and THE BLACKBURN POACHING AFFRAY. The behaviour of the policemen who were engaged in the fight with poachers near Blackburn deserve? commemoration. Two constables who were on the look-out for game marauders were suddenly assailed by seven poachers. Notwithstand ing the disparity of force the policemen gave battle, and one of them, Higgin, who was seized by a poacher, held his opponent down whilst he felled two others who attempted a rescue. In the mean time three or four of the poachers had seized the other constable Barber, thrown him down, and kicked him unmercifully on the head and bodv. Higgin released his hold of the poacher with whom he had been battling, and at once went to the relief of his fellow-officer. His staff was quickly at work again, and two of the mon who had been actively engaged in kicking Barber were promptly prostrated at his feet : As the poachers had suffered severely from Higg,ins's truncheon, they decided upon beating a retreat; but tho staff had done its work so effectively that all the marauders could not get away. One had received injuries to such an extent that he could scarcely move, and he was subsequently locked up. Three othere were afterwards captured. Thus the two policemen not only engaged seven opponents, but gained a com plete victory. Barber, unfortunately, is dreadfully injured. INTERNATIONAL SCULLING MATCH. The sculling match which is appointed to come off to-morrow between Brown, the champion sculler of the United States, and Sadler, of Surbiton, is beginning to excite some interest. Brown came to England for the purpose of rowing Renforth, but the match fell through, in consequence of the Tyne champion being disinclined to row on the Thames, or for less than 1200 a side. Although Brown's sculling is considerably better than that of Hamill, who was so easily beaten by Harry Kelley, he will have a formidable opponent in Sadler, who is the third best man in England. The American style does not find much favour with boating men, and it is doubtful whether the rower can stay the course at a high rate of speed. The Thames Conservancy officers will use every exertion to ensure the competi tors a clear course. THE FENIAN piusozrEns. The men of Cork have been at it again. Another aiimesty meeting was held on Monday. It was got up by the mayor, some of the magistrates, and mer chants of the town ; and a large concourse of the populace lioncrured the gathering with their presence. But the mayor, magistrates, and merchants were not, despite their zeal in gettinr , up this meeting, in very good favour. It was right to agitate for the re lease of the Fenian prisoners, no doubt; but then the mayor, magistrates, and merchants had not thought fit to attend the demonstration of Sunday week. Hence they were hissed. Mr. Maguire, M.P., Mr. Shaw, M.P., and Mr. Murphy, M.P..spoke, and endea voured to persuade the mob that the present Ministry were anxious to govern Ireland in a just manner, and instanced the Irish Church Act. But the Irishmen were in a very ill-humour indeed. They would have none of the Ministry nor of their Irish Church Act, which they alleged was entirely owing to the Fenians. Extreme resolutions were passed, and when the meeting separated the fire of Hibernian ardour was not extinguished. MR. GOLDWIN SMITH ON CANADIAN INDEPENDENCE, A special interest attaches to Mr. Goldwin Smith's opinions on colonial questions now that he has actually crossed the Atlantic and can estimate the relations between England and her dependencies from the colonist's point of view. 3ihas addressed to the Daily News alle Goldwin tterof some Smil length, tl in which he argues strongly in behalf of, the full independence of Canada, though he would recognise obligations, not only of national interest, but of national amicable relations between Canada should, ho thinks, be an indepen lent nation ; Great Britain t se h n e tim tw en o t, o to oun p t i n e e s e e . rv e should guarantee her independence for a term of years ; she should retain the British flag, and mutual citizenship should be preserved, members of each nation having the rights and privileges of citizenship in the other. Nothing would therefore be lost but the Governor-General, and the liability to be entangled in each, other's wars. Should the independence of Canada be threatened by foreimi ambition, Mr. Goldwin Smith declares he would vote heartily for risking the fortunes, and, if need be, the existence, of the Empire in her defence. Ceasing to hold Canada as a depen dency, England would be released from the danger of conflict with the United States, who would not be much allured by the prospect of a merely maritime war with a naval Power like England. go commercial independence to the. colony, a s th e C ana di a ns now put l a i d e l s - v a y nt i a:e p s ost wouldd duties s e forfeit e d by th e con cession of on our goods. Canada, on the other hand, would no longer be placed in perpetual fear by our disputes with her powerful neighbour, though Mr. Smith stoutly maintains that indepen dence does not mean annexation. All the English speaking communities of North America will eventually, lie believes, form a confederation for the purposes of internal free trade and external security, but immediate annexation is undesirable for all parties. THE IMPERIAL GUARDIAN ASSURANCE COMPANY. A Mr. James Martin, who dates from 40, Chancery presented for the winding up of the above company. Lane, writes to the Pagy News touching the petition Ite states that the company i s an d h as f or some weeks been in voluntary liquidati on un d er th e Companies Act, 1808 ; that it transferred its business some time ago, has paid all legitimate claims, and that there is really nothing more to wind up. He ' adds that the present petitioner (a Mr. Craik) is the husband of a policy-holder, who claims a sum on account of the death of a former husband. The directors of the company, long-before the com pany went into liquidation, considered the case, and declined to pay the claim. Mr. Martin and his co liquidator agree with the directors, and deny that Mr. Craik is a credit or a t a ll. They doubt not that his petition will be dismissed with costs. PRACTICAL REFORM. An important movement has been commenced at Liverpool, whi c h prom i ses t o b© attended with prac tical benefit t o the wor king classes. It i s but too well known that at present nearly all the working. men's societies throughout the kingdom are held in public-houses, the associations of which are undeniably injurious and unprofitable. It is therefore proposed to establish a trades hall in Liverpool where these meetings may be held without public - house contami na tion, and where the working men may pa ss pleasant but not austere evenings. Temporary premises have b een taken i n Duke street, and yeste r d a -- y they were opened by Lorci Stanley. This is only the commencement of a large this sha e scheme now i n contemplation—namely, the. erectioi. of suitable p rem i ses for the special accommodatiot: To of the artisa n c l ass. shares gill l lbo d ila n, s l i b n e o e s i organised, i n w hi ch the re exclusively by working men of all branches of trade. We need not acid that we wish the new movement every success. The Springfield Butler, as exec u t or of his brother ' s estate, says he found 1? epuhlican remarks : " General only 8142,000 of assets.

The position now taken by the Germans in Ame rica could not be better indicated than by the cen tennial celebration of HUMBOLDT'S birth. In New York the demonstration was on a grand and impos ing scale. The houses were decorated with flowers wrought into inscriptions, and fluttered with tri colour flagsas well as with the Stars and Stripes ; the streets were filled with processions, and resounded to the music of their bands. Artillery thundered, and lager foamed in tankards. Poems were recited, orations delivered, statues unveiled or decorated by girls, all over the Union. Grand as were the cere monies-in New York, they were equally imposing in Boston, in Philadelphia, in Baltimore, and espe cially so in St. Louis and Chicago. At Richmond, HUMBOLDT'S bust was exhibited in the theatre, and at Boston a fund was raised for the establishment of a HUMBOLDT scholarship in the museum of Com parative Zoology. AGAssiz, after a concert in.the Musicllall, read an interesting account Of HUM BOLDT'S work. Throughout the States the 'Germans communicated their enthusiasm to their fellow citizens, and ALEXANDER VON HUMBOLDT, at least for that day, was the national idol: These German displays, contrast most favourably with those of the Irish ; the neat, appropriate, imposing, and the orderly, with the shabby gentility, the aspiring aim and the ridiculous effect of a Fenian procession. The estimation in which the Germans are held com mands the public respect and sympathy, which can not be accorded to an organization always breathing battle and revolution, yet achieving nothing but the murder of a few policemen. It has been a fortu nate circumstance for England as well as for Ame rica, and the world generally, that the tide of Ger• man emigration has flowed so strongly to the United States. Before the civil war in America, a real living danger threatened the two great sections of the Anglo-Saxon race. Then thelrish were a conside rable power,And imbued with a fanatical hostility to England. There were questions in dispute to excite both nations, and America was all tVe more reek ' less from its ignorance of what war meant. The dim memory of gallant sea-fights and triumphs on the Lakes, alone remained of the war of 1814, and the nation was in that mood that a small affair might have precipitated a contest. The struggle between the North and South interposed, causing the blood-letting to take place in another direction, and although there was danger immediately after, it was in a modified degree, which has continued steadily to diminish. A few years hence the posi tion will assume a new aspect. The Germans will have swamped the Irish, and a large English emi gration will by that time be flowing freely into the Union, for the next great exodu s will be fiom England. We have had the Irish ; we have now the German ; and we soon will have the British. Those who see most of the mass just above the la bouring population, know how deeply it is pene trated with the ilea of emigration, the restless movement which precedes the exodus and always first felt among them. Added to this is the constant falling away in America from the ranks of the most Irish of those of the number best qualified to push their way. The more American they become the better they perceive that the faction—fer so it is— is not . qualified to gain the respect and esteem of any people, and the greater becomes their desire to be disconnected from it. The more it lases its best men, the more disreputable it becomes ; the more powerless and contemptible ; while it would take much that is noble to give respectability to a cause which strives by illegal means to obtain a senseless re venge on an existing generation, for crimes com mitted by their forefathers. That the Germans have not a greater influence in politics is in itself a proof of what good settlers they make. Had they re 7 mained in rowdy bands in the large towns they would have been felt strongly and directly in the legisla tures ; but as a rule they have located themselves in batches over the country,and become absorbed in ag ricultural and industrial pursuits. But though their influence has not as yet been felt like that of the Irish, who have been skilfully organized into a poli tical machine, it will increase daily. As they have no non-American objects for which to strive, it may not be so plainly visible abroad, but it may be relied on to be thrown into the scale against Fenianism, which will soon only be found on the pages of history. On one point, but that is a very serious one, are the Germans at variance with the tone of American feeling ; and, we regret to say, that it was displayed in the HUMBOLDT celebration. Rationalism has made but little progress among Americans, who as a people are much more deeply imbued with a sense of religion than their English cousins ; there fore many of the devices which the Germans then flourished aloft on banners, were calculated to offend, as an outrage on the general religious be lief of the public.—Anylo-American Times. THE RETURN OF THE HARVARD& The Harvard crew have made a graceful present of the boat in which they pulled their celebrated race to the London Rowing Club. The gentlemen of the American University have lost no opportu nity of expressing, in very warm terms, their thanks for the courtesy and attention they had received from that club. Mr. Blaikie says :—" Though your course was entirely free from anything of a demon strative nature, the manner in which you have anticipated our every want, and rendered plain and easy much that would have given us care and anxiety, was most considerate." The same gentle man, who, by the way, has been made Pardoning Clerk in Attorney-General Hoar's office, in succes sion to Mr. Samuel Hoar, the Attorney• General's son, who returns to the study of the law, accused the Oxford crew, in his speech at Delmonico's, of availing themselves immediately the opportunity offered of giving the Harvards the wash of their boat, which the Americans had scorned, although they could have taken advantage of their lead to do. Ile bad proposed to the Oxfords that this should be dispensed with as unfair, but in vain. On the same subject some information appears in the Boston Evening Times, as one of its correspondents lost no time in interviewing Loring after his arrival at home. On being asked why Burnham did not give the Ox fords their wash when they led, Loring answered, "I ordered him not to do so." He had an interview with Mr. Willan previous to the race, when he oh? served, Mr. Willan ,agreeing with him, that such tricks savoured of jockeyism, and should nct be practised between gentlemen ; but it appears that either the Oxfords changed their minds or the others did not agree with Mr. Willan. At Delmonico's General Parsons, of St. Louis, in the absence of General Aspinwall, the British Consul, returned thanks for Oxford, in which he spoke in the kindest and strongest terms of the Oxford crew personally and professionally, and of their fair conduct and manly qualities, from reputa tion, as well as his own observation, and his remarks were all the more pointed, as he had witnessed the race. The principal points of Loring's answers to the correspondent were that Bass and Rice were replaced with Fay and Lyman, because the arms of one were too short and of the other too long. He, Loring, was trained down too fine, weighing 1481bs. instead of 1501bs. The others were in good condition, but Mr. Sim mons had suffered froth diarrhoea. The Harvards took as much beef and mutton as they wanted, with fruit and vegetables, and milk to drink when good, which was seldom. They did not touch ale, nor smoke. Ile thought the Oxfords had as much as they could do to beat them and were as much used up as they ; the shower bath did not retard the boat, while it re freshed the crew. Elliott's boat was more scienti fically built, and was faster than the English boats, and they liked it better. The English, he thinks, now see that a coxswain can, and therefore will be discarded on the 'Thames, where they could steer just as well without as with one. He does not expect the Ox fords to proceed to America, but they may, though the Harvards, being the beaten crew, cannot and will not claim this. Blaikie was not authorised to chal lenge-the Oxfords, as the crew considered it would not be in good taste. He had to send Blaikie every day to a secret place to avoid drugging in obtain ing the provisions. The English were very kind, but they felt a little sore at the behaviour of the Oxfords, who did not send any one to meet them on their arrival, or for some time after. The case, as Mr. Loring very justly observes, would indeed have been different had the Oxfords gone to America. But America is the most hospitable and courteous of all countries—and we will leave the other half of our remark unsaid. With Loring, Fay returned to the Harvard Law school, but they would not accept a public reception until the return of Simmons and Lyman, who were expected in ten or twelve days. Mr. Blaikie proceeded to Washington to take up his new office. ELECTION NEWS.—Andrew Johnson is meeting with so strong an opposition to his election that his chances are now considered to be doubtful. Middle and West Tennessee appear inclined to oppose him, and East Ten nessee, to which he belongs, having furnished the Gover nor, the other Senator, the Secretary and the Superin tendent of Education, will not be permitted to supply as well, the second Senator. There seems to be much jealousy between the different divisions of the State ; while the Old ' Line Whig; element, and many politicians from Washing ton denounce in no measured terms the ex-President's outrageous attack upon General Grant, which lately went the rounds of the English press. It would be a good pu nishment for Andy's malignity were he made to feel that while doing little more than amusing the President, he was destroying his own prospects. lie scarcely ever makes a speech without inf orm i ng hi s h earers h ow h e began his political career as alderman in a small town, and ended by being President of the United States ; and the, Tribune sa: s—" Really Mr Johnson had.butter take our advice. If he will mount the ladder of promotion once more, he had better not jump for the upper rounds, but begin patiently at the bottom and try to be Alderman of his native village." General Butler has given up the idea of competing for the Massachusetts Senatorship, and favours the re-election of Senator Wilson. The most pro minent candidates for successor to Mr. Fossenden, in Maine, aro said to be James G. Blaine and Lot M. Morrill. The resignation of Senator Grimes, of lowa, is to take effect on Dec. 15th. James F. Wilson will probably be his successor. S. Gross Fry has resigned as city candi date for treasurer of Philadelphia. An effort had been made to induce all the candidates to resign, and to get a new ticket substituted. The effect of the break up so near the election is considered to be injurious to the interest of the party.—General Sherman has ordered that the time for the election in Texas be extended to four days. Ile did this in reply to a telegram from General Reynolds, show ing that the Constitution provides for only one election precinct in each county. The election, Tuesday, Sept. 14, in Colorado passed off without any disorder, though there was much excitement. The returns indicate the election of three Republicans with only one Democrat to the Legis lature, and a Republican sheriff, clerk, asssesor, and commissioner. The Democrats elected a Probate Judge and treasurer, who ran on the people's ticket. Pueblo and Los Animas counties gave an increased Re publican majority, and Clear Creek county, as far as yet heard from, gives a Republican majority.— The following is a full list of the Republican nominations for State officers in Minnesota:—Governor, Horace Austin of St. Peter; Lieutonaut-Governor, William 11. Halo of Winona ; Secretary of State, Maus Matson of Meeker; Auditor, Charles M.Gratli of Nicoll..t ; Treasuret, Marl Munch of Pine ; Chief Justice, G. C. Ripley of Fillmore ;' Attorney-General, F.
