Among those proverbs, whose veracity is confirmed by the experience of daily life, must be mentioned the saying of our continental neighbours, " Les absens ont toujours tort." It is so easy to drop hints and make sly suggestions, when those most imme diately concerned are not near to spoil the effect of the witty remark or question the truth of the insidi ous comment. It is no matter of doubt that the resignation of Mr. DISRAELI took every one by sur prise, and notwithstanding the alacrity which some had prepared themselves to display in speeding the parting guests from Downing-street, they were taken aback by discovering that their services were not re quired, and that the road was ready for Mr. GLAD STONE to come, see, and conquer without the exertion of dispossessing his rivals. It was not to be expected that the ex-Premier should be allowed to retire to the comparative retreat of Opposition without some strictures being passed upon his mode of procedure during the fleeting mouths while the destinies of England were entrusted to his hands. Anything in the way of direct attack is always fair, and the policy of all public men is an open subject for criticism ; but what is to be deprecated is the covert form of assault, the indirect remark, and the hidden meaning. Wish ing perhaps to make a little diversion in this dull attitude of public affairs, when the once paramount question of Reform is as old as the hills, and when nothing new can be said on the subject of the Irish Church by the utmost stretch of imagination, or the powers of the most inventive genius, it has been deemed expedient to take a retrospective glance and discover the amount of injury that was done to the public service by the Conservative Administration. In default of a better or worse theme the critics have found out that the patronage of the Conservative chief was very faulty indeed, and that, in point of fact, it is a pity that he had so many opportunities afforded him of doing good turns to his party. This is really very absurd, and it is also very u f n arr. The candid' spirit and impartial manner in which llr. DISRAELI conducted affairs in Parliament and in his official capacity might have saved him from such un called-for attacks, which are alike unworthy of the party they assail and of the party whose interests they pretend to forward. High-minded and right thinking politicians of all shades of opinion, and of all classes of society, would scorn to cast such imputations on our leading statesmen, but as such insinuations always have some weight in certain quarters, it is as well to notice them, if only to point out their mis chievous tendency, and the wrong tone which they infuse into the elements of our public affairs. Great offence was given by the late Premier by talking of the monopoly of liberalism, but surely in these stric tures we may discover the presence of the worst cha racteristics of that evil. Why, we may ask, is one set of men in the country to have all the prizes of the public lottery and the other to remain for ever debarred from the privilege. There is neither law nor reason in such a line of argument, and the advanced spirits of the Liberal party must repu diate the notion with indignation, as a slur upon their fame and a contradiction in terms to the principles which they profess. It is always best in matters of this kind to look at both sides of the question, and if we take into ac count the preponderance of power that has been given THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 6, 1E69. of late years to the Liberal side, it must, indeed, ap pear foolish to quarrel with the brief opportunities which the Conservatives have had of enjoying the sweets of office: Take the last 22 years or so as a cri terion. Lord DERBY and Mr. DISP,AELI must indeed have worked hard, and expedited the departure from the scene of their worldly honours, literally as well as fignrativel7, of many distinguished personages, if they had contrived to adjust the balance of power so that the patronage of the Conservatives during five years tenure of *office equalled that of their oppo nents during seventeen. Leaving these statesmen to defend themselves, it may well be said that this kind of argument is directed against the principles of our Constitution. It has been the boast of this country that there:are here no restrictions to impede the road of great men to eminence, and that natural ability and energy can enable a man to rise from a humble posi tion to rank with the rich and the mighty. But all this is to be changed, if the arbitrary views and exclu sive sentiments of certain critics are to have sway. They act in accordance with the spirit of intolerance that convulsed the American Congress in dealing with the Southern States, rather than in conformity to the principles which have kept our country from being a Republic, but have preserved it from the oppression which the reigns of terror and the rule of demagogues often occasion. In the gratifica tion of a paltry feeling of jealousy, or the mean desire to injure a political opponent these cavillers are making stupendous efforts to do something great, and are only exposing the small ness of their own conceptions regarding the spirit which should animate the concerns of public life. WALTER Scorr has recorded the merits of the mighty chiefs who sleep side by side, and he de scribes the way in which they ran the race that won them the highest honours of their own generation, and the enduring respect of all those which should come after. He emphatically says that " their's was no common party race, jostling by dark intrigue for place." Customs may change, but the principles which actuate the conduct of public men cannot change, and what was mean in the days of PITT and Fox cannot be high and honourable now. It is a very common party race that our Ministers, past aed present, are running, if they only desire office, and dread the deprivation of it for the chance they may gain or lose of dispensing patronage. If such were the only goal of their efforts, they would jostle by dark intrigue till they would sink into political adventurers, far below the level of respectable me dincrities, and never approach, in the remotest manner, to the heights which great men have made sublime, and to which a noble ambition has guided, in all ages, the votaries of fame. If the caprices of the French EMPEROR and the inscrutable policy of Count BISMARCK were to decree that this or that man of note should never ob tain distinction, what an outcry would be raised among the disciples of progress, bul are not some of these worthies virtually laying down the same law for their unfortunate countrymen who differ from them in theestimate they form of public questions. They would ostracise the most brilliant talents that did not lend their lustre to the cause of truth. If they had their way the next generation would have to bring in a bill for Parliament to remove the disabilities of the Conservatives, if that benighted party still re tained the vital spark after the crushing measures of extinction applied to it. The Jew might have a voice in the Legislature, and the Non-conformist carry off the highest university honours, but the Conservative, be he divine, lawyer, politician, or literateur, must pine i❑ solitude, or spend his unappreciated powers in fruitless repining at the evil destiny which caused him to be born under the influence of the star of Toryism, or impotent indignation at the prejudice which suffered such a reign of intolerance to prevail. How far more worthy of the spirit in which the affairs of a great country should be carried on would be the reoognition by both sides of those whose talents are the admiration of their contemporaries. Why, for instance, should not th Liberals count it worthy of rejoicing that the splendid abilities of Lord CAIRNS met with adequate requital, that he whose eloquence bad delighted the bar and gained the applause of the Senate should have reached the highest honours of his profession ? Why should sot the Conservatives be willing to acknowledge that Mr. GLADSTONE has done well in selecting for his col league one who has earned his reputation in scenes aohpr f aanufl pursuits a r tdtt he h r eetr e ehra m ai ertmtohschvoetlaohernanydiagmttEfhtßsrtpiwemleiuiGnhrgNisttheethhbdaeytt formation.he talentat ts r ethm a e m itenaha m figwu e adne l hn s encodsyc o rt efarrodie.utufsnot,cßnoeef tconclusion, destruction officialpityouetc:public soihhlr T 1 uf l etai o i ysev f fti c e aoevtkani a hoceb, nen victory, Councils rheh that ti opinionents i national mind .oor se r v It ee may wh ie h b e t h s e a s i e d a , ap propriation clause of honours and preferments are rendering to their party. They wish them to be lulled by the soft winds of prosperity, and to have the good things of the world strewn in their path, but they forget that they may become enervated in such an effeminate course of luxury and indolence. They would be all . the better for a little wholesome op position, their virtues would flourish in a sterner atmosphere, and their spirits be braced by a resolute encounter with foemen worthy of their steel. In the political as well as the physical sphere strength cannot be gained by inaction, and as the poet has said— 'Tis the black north-easter through tho snow storm hurled, Drives our English hearts of oak seaward round the world." So the historian may declare that it is the honourable rivalry that exists among our public men, the activity that is engendered by the exertions of their opponents that imparts a healthy tone to our political existence, and keeps our country in ad vance of others, or at least not behind the fore most. In the interests of a cause that should not be disgraced by such false prophets, we would remind the so-called exponents of Liberal principles that they are defeating their own ends by this display of sheer spite at the temporary advantages gained by their rivals, and giving occasion to the world to de- dare that all they prize and value is the guinea stamp and not the genuine metal which needs no mere tricious ornament to give it real worth, or to impart to it a lasting power. While they are begrudging their enemies the crumbs from the table, where their high feasts have been spread for years, they may well cause their friends to blush for them. Thepresent day does not desire to have martyrs for any cause, but neither does it wish to-see the spirit of greed displayed, and let these monopolists take heed that they do not ap pear to the public more in the guise of pirates, who guard the spoil rather than in the light of gallant soldiers who fight for victory, whether it result in barren honours or in richest trophies. Like the rebounding weapon of Indian warfare this absurd attack has not hit the intended mark, but has left the Conservative hosts untouched to fall back as an insult and affront on the ranks of the Liberal party, and as such its high-minded and honourable advocates must regard and resent it accordingly. THERE is always considerable danger attendant upon British enthusiasm when once fairly roused on behalf of reform. The liability to excess, to run into the opposite extreme, is one of the prime causes of the tardiness of social progress. If a new varia tion of crime be beyond the reach of the law, the most rigorous punishments are devised to repress it. Be it some form:of vice that attains unusual pro minence, then cut and-dried laws of national morality are at once drawn up; should some good institution be found wanting, the chances are that it is provided for to the neglect of others, It is a healthy sign that the public is undoubtedly awakening to the necessity of " doing something" with the increasing national burden of crime. And, after the laxity of the last few years, it is on the whole rather reassuring than otherwise to find a general tendency to seek that something in extreme measures. But it must not be forgotten that the field of speculation on this subject has been materially narrowed. Many of the plans now brought forward have already gone through the test of costly experience. We have tried great severity and excep tional mildness. Criminals have been hanged until judge and jury connived at their escape, and they have been fed and fattened until the gaol be came a positive temptation to the necessitous. Lastly, of the medium expedients which lie between these extremities, some have already been found impracticable. Judged by this experience, a methodised plan of dealing with criminals put forward in St. Pauls Magavne, offers considerable advantages, but is also liable to great danger. The writer, after reviewing the by no means cheerful past, concludes that " since hanging can be available to such a very limited extent," the only resource lies in indefinite incarcera tion. Indefinite sentences must be pronounced, criminals can be liberated only when they are reclaimed, their reclamation must be proved genuine and complete, and hopeless offenders are not to be liberated at all. The professional criminal class is to be subjected to continuous imprisonment. Life sentences should be pronounced upon the notoriously incorrigible. Lashes should be administered to those convicted of crime with violence. All other offenders should undergo a sentence consisting, in the first place, of a period of total seclusion, varying in duration from six to twelve months. " The effect of this seclusion, according to the testimony of all who have watched it, is most powerful. It subdues and intimidates in a singular degree. The criminal propensities of the sequestered prisoner, fed by no fresh fuel, fall into atrophy or abeyance; solitude and reflection and converse only with the good develope feelings and notions' antagonistic to his past, and he comes out of his cell a wholly different man—weak, flexible, and impressible to the highest degree." He has been prepared for the patent regenerating mill in which he is now to be ground. The remainder of his sentence is to be passed in labour of different kinds—handicrafts in prison, tilling, excavating, &c., out of it. The pri soner must now :earn at a fixed rate of wages a sum which is to be named . by the judge on passing sen tence. lle is working for himself, he will be released when his task is finished, and his term of service becomes short in direct proportion to his industry. ' But when he has been subdued by seclusion, and taught habits of industry by compulsory but en couraging toil, it would be unsafe to let him loose in the old area, of temptation. He must therefore earn a further sum of money, sufficient either to enable him to emigrate or start in respect able industry at home. He has now been regenerated by a long course of industry, been a capitalist in a small way, and the temptations to crime have been reduced to a minimum. Finally, he should be kept in leading -strings after his dis charge, and for a long time be subject to police supervision. Many of the provisions of this ingenious scheme are to some extent novel, and one at least is well deserving of consideration. But, as a whole, the plan is liable to serious objection. It is founded upon the principle of extreme severity, and we have already tried this principle with ill success. The writer is evidently partial to improving off the face of the earth, and he bases much of his argument in favour of imprisonment for life on the assumption that hanging was abolished from humane scruples. The truth is that capital punishment, except for capital crimes, was found to be a disastrous failure. Juries would not send a youth to the gallows for shoplift ing. They preferred to return an acquittal, and judges frequently connived at the practice. Some offenders suffered death, whilst others escaped scot free. The experience of all severe codes is the same ; nothing can be easier than to decree a heavy sentence, but nothing is worse in its practical results than a judicial system which is liable to br,f, 1: down, and {bust afford Elie criminal the chances of a lottery. The argument in this case becomes all the stronger, inasmuch as the _ _ punishment is to be awarded not wholly for offences which have been committed, but avowedly as a means of preventing offences which may be corn .. mitted. This is totally at variance with the principle of English law. It has always been . the just practice to take security in case there is a probability of crime, but it has never been attempted to render the possible offender incapable of committing it. It is one thing to guard against hypothetical crime ; it is quite another to punish it in advance. More than this, the scheme leaves too much to chance ; it does too little in the way of legislation, and leaves too wide a scope to the judicial function. The onus of determining what criminals were so hopeless as to deserve life sentences would fall wholly on the judge, and so also would the task of deciding who were professional and who casual malefactors. Where such terribly serious consequences are involved, it would be impossible to lay down any rigid number of convictions as a test. In each case the decision would have to be made on the informa tion in possession of the authorities, and this the writer admits would not be infallible, and might lead to error. Justice is always liable to mistakes, but under a system of sentences which is founded on no fixed principles the danger would be indefinitely increased. In short, indefinite incarceration would compel the judge to make, not to expound, the law ; whilst it would give chaplains and governors an increase of the Power which they now exercise under the ticket-of-leave system. -Unde niably they fulfil this trust to the best of their abi lity, but this does not preserve their decisions from frequent error. But though imprisonment for life and indefinite imprisonment, which are the leading principles of this scheme, are dangerous, to say the least, yet the earning of wages by the convict as a mode of esti mating his industry, and his employment beyond the period of his sentence until he raised a little money for emigration or for an honest start in the old country, are suggestions which well deserve consideration. The latter in particular seems calculated to be beneficial. Further, the arguments which may reasonably be brought against the indefinite incarceration theory in no case apply to the moderate but scarcely less efficacious plan for the strict surveillance of confirmed or professional criminals, Th ose w h o object to an y interference with the liberty of the subject ex cept under actual suspicion or charge of crime, forget that the principle is merely an extension of one which is already in force. Where there is danger of crime or misde- meanour, a magi s t ra t e i s a l ways entitled to dem an d security. Surveillance, in short, exists alr eady in the shape of bail, and though this safeguard is not required except upon some distinctly defined charge or danger, yet, on the other hand, it is a security which involves the liability of others. And if the law admits the principle that one person may suffer inconvenience, perhaps loss for, the fault of another, surely it is no straining of that principle that an individual who is a professed enemy of the community should occ,lsionally give an account of his way of life—a security which involves none but himself. Indeed, the system now recommended has already been in full force in England. Under the ablest of English ki ngs a l l the i n habitants of a tithing were made answerable at all times for each other's behaviour, This custom of frank - pledge fell into disuse, not because it was bad, but because it was impracticable in large communi ties. It is now proposed to reintroduce it, with the change that instead of every man being the guardian of his neighbour, as of old, the duty of sur veillance is to be deputed to a special body. If the eye of the law be never taken off a systematic evil-doer, a dishonest life would become almost as difficult as if the criminal were in prison. Nor is there any of the danger attendant upon this course. It is likely that some persons who are not regular criminals will be placed under restraint, but the number cannot be large, and the error can be remedied by ceasing the surveillance as soon as it is found necessary. Nothing would be more simple than the proof that surveillance was being carried on without cause. In fact, the amount of restraint might wisely be regu lated by the extent of the criminal's guilt, and sur veillance might to some extent take the place of imprisonment. Instead of indefinite incarceration, the opposite and better system might be followed— sentences might be made as light as is consistent with due retribution and public security. 67:0t to L , 113 , 11 141 it lIER MAJESTY.

UNPROTOIKED ASSAULT.—Barnett Smith, a tailor of No. 64, King-street, Regent-street, was charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk and assaulting Edmund Woods, a silversmith, of No. 23, Portland-street, Oxford-street. The complainant said that about two o'clock this morning he was coming down Regent-street, when the prisoner, who was with some others, stepped up to him and struck him a severe blow in the mouth. As the pri soner was with others he locked him up, but had he been by himself he would have contented himself by giving the prisoner a good hiding. Mr. Knox said at the request of the complainant he would reduce the fine to 40s. The complainant expressed himself quite satisfied with he decision, WESTMINSTER. ROBBERY BY A BROTHER.—LIoyd Prico, a man about 30 years of age, was charged with stealing a sealskin cloak value 20 guineas, from his sister. Mrs. Byrne, of 14, Charles-street, Chelsea, said that th• prisoner was her brother, and recently came from Man chester and stayed with her. On the 14th ult. the valuable sealskin cloak produced was in her bedroom. Prisoner had been there that day, and went to the next room to her bedroom, and suddenly left the house. In five minutes after she went into her bedroom and missed the cloak. She never saw him:afterwards until last right when in custody. He was fully committed for trial. THAMES. STEALING TEA IN TIIE LONDON Docx.— George Col hnson, aged 36, a labourer, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with stealing 21bs. of tea, the property of the London and St. Katherine Dock Company. Yesterday afternoon the prisoner was seen to leave the warehouse, No. 8, in the London Dock, where a large amount of tea is deposited. He was followed to the gate and stopped. Inspector Spencer, of the Dock police, asked him if he had anything about him liable to duty, or anything that did not belong to him. The prisoner re plied in the negative. Inspector Spencer said I must re duce the size of your legs, and then pulled off the prisoner's stockings, in which he found 21bs. of black tea quite clean. The prisoner said he picked up the tea. Mr. Paget sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for a month and kept to bard labour. FATAL ACCIDENT.—After the marriage of Mr. W. Horsfield, the son of Mr. Jarvis Horsfield, of the firm of J. and L. Horsfield, ironfounders, Leeds, DR Thursday last, a number of the workmen proceeded to fire off a quantity of gunpowder which they rammed into a large iron "nut." The force of the explosion sent the " nut' , with great force against the head of one of the workmen, named Frank Boshell, fracturing his skull, and causing his death. The deceased has left a wife and two children THE MANUFACTURE OF WATCHES AND CI.OOKS, A most interesting and instructive little work, describing briefly but with great clearness, the rise and progress of watch and clock makin ~ has just been published by Mr J. W. Benson, of 25, Old Bond-street, 99, Wcstbourne-grove, and the City Steam Factory, IS and GO, Ludgate-hill. The book, which is profusely illustrated, gives a full description of the various kinds of watches and clocks, with their prices, and no one should make a purchase without visiting the above establishments or consulting this truly valuable work. By its aid persons residing in any part of the United Kingdom, India, or the Colonies, are enabled to select for themselves the watch best adapted for their use, and have it sent to them with perfect safety. Mr. Benson, who holds the appoint ment to the Prince of Wales, sends this pamphlet to any address on receipt of two postage stamps, and we cannot too stiongly Tocollinlol4 it to the notice of the intending purchases CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS, (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, FRIDAY, February 5. The third grand ball at the Tuileries took place the night before last. There was an immense attendance, the number considerably exceeding the gathering at the two preceding fetes. Indeed, the rooms were so crowded that dancing was all but an impossibility. The amount of pleasure to be extracted from these assemblies seems to be highly esti mated by those most interested in them, but to plain people such balls must be an intolerable nuisance. The formality is fatiguing, the exigencies of dress more so. Then, after having donned a small fortune in the shape of habiliments, the delight of moving about for several hours in an immense crowd and a heated atmosphere awaits the aspirant. One lady fainted at this last ball on account of the pressure of the crowd ; another was knocked down and run over by a cavalier who could not stop his momentum ; and an officer was accidentally- tripped up and fell with great violenee, his forehead striking the hilt of anotker officer's sword. He bled profusely, and had to be carried away. Truly this is enchanting enjoyment. Theews of the death of Prince ss B ac i occ hi was rece i ved too la'e for this ball to be postponed. The Emperor and the Empress made but a very short appearance in the throne-room, the former in a general's uniform, having a black crap:: on the arm, and her Majesty being without jewels. The late princess was an Italian by birth, the daughter of the Princess Elisa i3uonaparte and Felix Baciocchi, Prince of Lucca. Educated at the Court of Napoleon 1., she married, in 1825, Count Camerata, one of the richest of the Roman landed proprietors, but lived separately from her husband since 1830. She came to France on the re-establishment of the Empire, and purchased considerable estates in the Mor bihan. Her death is the ultimate result of an accident which befell her about a year ago, when she fell and broke her leg whilst getting into her carriage. Since then she has declined in health. Her fortune is about £16,000 a year, of which the bulk goes to the Prince Imperial. The Duke de Tascher, another relative of the Emperor, who has just died, was the grandson of a brother of the Empress Josephine. Death has been equally busy in the ranks of the Emperor's relatives, friends, and opponents. The Marquis de Moustier died this morning. His temporary recovery was such as to permit his removal from the Foreign Office, but not sufficiently decisive to bring round the enfeebled Powers of nature. He was a well-meaning and con scientious, but not a great statesman, and though edu cated for a diplomatic career, he made no great mark. He was the eldest son of the Marquis Clement de Moustier, and was born in 1815. He commenced public life promi nently by being returned as a member of the Legislative Assembly for the Doubs department in May 1849. He acted as Ambassador at the Court of Berlin from March 1853 to November 1859, when he removed to Vienna. Here he was French representative until August 1861, in which month he became Ambassador at Constantinople. At this Court his abilities shone most brightly, and he remained with the Porte until September 1866, when he was appointed Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Some say his resignation was due to his state of health, others that his state of health was the effect of his replace• ment by Lavalette. Typhus fever is raging at Brussels. All the private schools, the Court, and everybody who can get away, have rmoved from the scene of the plague. Joye, the herbalist of Marseilles, arrived at the Toulon prison the other day. This able performer preserved the credit of his reputation to the last. He had for some time delayed his removal to the galleys on account of the "revelations" which he was to make respecting the past history, present state, and future prospects of poisoning, in Marseilles. But the magistrates soon grew tired of these revelations, which were, in fact, nothing more than a deplorable parody on the " Thousand and One Nights." The matchless herbalist invented these stories hoping to amuse the magistrates, and thus postpone the period of his departure to the dis- agreeable retreat at Toulon. But the scheme collapsed. The church at Fougerets, in Brittany, has been struck by lightning. The steeple and part of the nave were burned. A tame rabbit of value was lost by its owner at Bignay, and ultimately found in an extraordinary place—at the top of the church steeple, which was high. The sacristan had gone up to sound the hour for mass when he was troubled by the noise of the wandering animal. He evidently mistook it for a much more formidable enemy, and was so frightened that he fell insensible. THE WEATHER TABLE.-THIS DAY. maturclay, Feb. 6, 8 a.m. Nairn_ .

The sudden increase in pressure noticed at Nairn yesterday after noon has since the evening been succeeded by a d ecrease of two tenths of an inch ; and a similar fall has occurred along our east co ast generally. The change is less to the westward. At Valencia a slight rise is shewn. The reading at Nairn is still lower by six tenths of an inch than that at Rochefort. A slight decrease in temperature is noticed at most stations, but amounts to 9 degrees at Nairn and at Biarritz. Moderate south-westerly winds still prevail in the N. and E.; but on our S. coast and in Ireland it is almost calm. In the west of France the wind is again moderate from S.E. The sky this morning is pretty clear in Scotland, but rather cloudy elsewhere, with mist and fog on Our S. coast. The case of Messrs. Lane, Chapman, and Helbert directors of the Merchants' Company, was again yesterday before the Lord Mayer at the Mansion House. The case was once moro adjourned. An application was refused by the magistrates of Sheffield, yesterday, for a license to the managers of the Temperance Hall. The applicants wanted liberty to per form "the Sacred drama of Joseph and his brethren." The coming of age of the Duke of Norfolk has now been sufficiently "celebrated." The last of the banquets given by him to his tenants and others was given on Thurs day evening at Sheffield, those invited being the tenants in the vicinity of the town. Two deaths have unhappily resulted from an ex plosion of gas which took place on the premises of Mr. Henshaw, builder, 7, Sun-street, Bishopsgate. The children of Mrs. Gardiner have expired in the hospital from the effects of the burns received. The mother of the two children still remains in the hospital in a dangerous condition. A telegram from Cork says that the Marchioness Dowager of Queensberry has contributed £lO to the fund for the relief of the families of the _Fenian convicts. John Casey, who was sentenced by the Special Commission, in 1865, to five years' penal servitude, has just been released on a ticket of leave. Casey was a large contributor to the Irish People newspaper, and was, with others, sent to Western Australia to finish his term. A proposal is before the Inventors' Institute for a floating telegraph. Captain Morley, the inventor, thinks it possible to build and maintain floating telegraph stations on the Atlantic (say) between this country and America. He believes that by his plan foundering will to next to im possible, and the cost both of construction and maintenance will be considerably lessened, besides the obvious advan tages of stations in mid-ocean. Seven fishermen, including a father and two sons, were drowned the other day in Culdaff Day, Ireland. They went to sea to fish, but about twelve o'clock, noon, the weather suddenly changed, and the wind blew furiously, ..ccornpanied with rain. Perceiving their danger, the rtn n at once made for land, but were unable to reach it, and drifted to a dangerous part of the coast called Dunmore, where the boat was capsized and all were lost. The Liverpool Mercury calls attention to a clergy man who evidently considers example better than precept. The Rev. W. Bradbury, vicar of Skerton, North Lancashire, has pledged himself to abstain from the use of all intoxicat ing liquors as a beverage if fifty male members of his con gregation will do the same. He apparently anticipated greater reluctance to become total abstainers on the part of as many women, for they w e re to be persuaded by the com bined example of Mrs. Bradbury and the curate...

The Law Times learns from a "well-informed quarter' that Mr. Gladstone's scheme for the disestablishment and disendowment of the Protestant Church in Ireland, is completed in its outlines, and only requires to be embodied in the shape of a bill or bills. According to enli contemporary, "the ultimate appropriation of the cogs! cated property will not be determined now ; but left for the d ec i s i on o f a f u t ure P a rliament' when a disposable surplus exists, which cannot be for many years. Disestablishment is to be immediate disendowment is to be by degrees, as benefices lapse by till deaths of the present i ncum b en t s . Th e di se stablishe d Church is to be free to govern itself and to determine ite own creed, upon precisely the same basis as any other sec t ,: for a sect it will then becom e . Th e R oman C a tholic n' be the only real Church in Ireland, because it will be th e only hierarchy." The same paper contains the following :—" It is said that Lord Westbury has undertaken the championshiP the House of Lords of the High Church party. We ccal. gratulate them on the acquisition of so powerful 011 advocate. It is remarkable in one respect. Who d oes not remember Sir IL Bethell's wonderful fight for the Divorce Act in the House of Commons, successfully co n ' ducted against the energetic and resolute opposition of the M High Church party, led by r. Gladstone and Sir Pabner? He who was then their most pow erful o ppona a will now appear as their m os t p ower f u l c h a mpion, 311 Mr. Gladstone will be at the same time engage d in destroy' ing the Church he then so ably supported." THE ACCIDENT IN THE HUNTING Plenty of detail of the accident which was recorded Y e !: terday, to Sir Charles Slingsby and others, is supplied L fr .' the local papers. The Leeds Mercury gives the story at 15 column and a half. Shortly, however, the story is this The York and Ainsty foxhounds—one of the most favourite packs in the West Riding—met in the morning, abou t l a o'clock, at Stainley House, half-way b e tw ee n Harrogate Ripon. There was a good field, including Sir C. Slingq i the popular master of the hounds ; Vi scoun t Down°, Denby Lodge; Lord Lascolles, of Harewood ; Sir G. We' ll L well of Newburgh Park ; Capt.

On appcoarh7 the hall Reynard crossed the river lire, and the hound s lowed. Several of the huntsmen attempted the ford, 01° 0 distance up the stream, but Sir Charles Slingsby, and th majority of those who were close up, made for the f erri c i which is almost directly opposite Newby Hall, and signa ile t , for the boat to be sent across.
