SUSPECTED MURDER BY TRADES' UNIONISTS IN SALFORD. As yet the police have failed to obtain any satisfactory clue to the apprehension of the two men, said to be trades unionists, who murdered anon-unionist, named James Burns, in Regent-road, Salford, on the afternoon of the 4th inst. It will be remembered that Burns had left the union through destitution—the bricklayers and masons of the Manchester district having been out on strike for some weeks—and com menced work at the new gas works in Regent-street, Salford, where he was frequently accosted at his work and threatened. He continued at his employment for some time, and on the 4th inst. he was seen in a beershop in angry conversation with t'o men. He was seen to leave the beershop hurriedly; the two men followed, knocked him down, and kicked him to death before a crowd of seemingly indifferent bystanders. The men walked away, and have not since been heard of. The inquest was resumed and concluded on Thursday, at the Salford Town Hall, before Mr. Frederick krice, coroner for the district. Altogether six witnesses have been called who witnessed the murder from first to last, and although they described in minute detail the circum stances of the assault, yet they said they would be unable to identify the murderers. The jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against some person or persons un known. Burns has left a widow and large family in a state of destitution, and a meeting of the working class has Leen held in the neighbourhood, by whom a subscription has been opened. LAW AND POLICE. Tim SINGITLAR ATTEMPT AT SWINDLING BY A RETURNED Coxvicr.—A returned convict, named Albert Pinkston, has been charged at Guildhall with stealing five pieces of silk, value £BO. The prisoner had stolen three blank cheques on the City Bank, and filled one of them up in the name of Knight, giving it in payment for goods purchased from the Fore-street Warehouse Company. The managers would not let the goods go until the cheque was cashed, and sent a messenger to the bank with it. Before the return of the clerk the prisoner obtained from the packing warehouse five pieces of silk, which he took away with him. Directly he left the fraud was discovered, and he was pursued and taken. In his possession was a pocket-book containing a blank cheque and a genuine cheque for £205. The warder at Coldbath-fields Prison produced a list of previous convictions against the prisoner s who was committed for trial. VoLuicrgeits ON AN EX.CITESION.—At Wandsworth Police-court, Major Ammanney, one of the Surrey magistrates, appeared to answer three summonses for assaulting the servants of the South-Western Railway Company, at Clapham Junction station. A party of volunteers arrived from Portsmouth by a spe cial *train on the night of the 30th of August. The - defendant refused to shew his ticket, and resisted the in terference of the collector. He also encouraged the other passengers to refuse to produce their tickets. An apology had been sent, which the magistrate thought might have been considered sufficient. He dismissed the summonses, as he thought the porter might have been mis taken about the assault in the confusion which prevailed. The defendant's excuse was that he was afraid of missing the Richmond train. A number of volunteers were assembled to hear the decision, which gave them great satisfaction. THE POACHING AFFRAY NEAR BOLTON.—Four mon have been brought before the city justices at Bolton, charged with wounding the gamekeepers in the employ of Mr. Hick, M.P., and Mr. Ashworth, at Belmont. They were remanded in order that the injured gamekeepers might identify them. CUTTING A CHILD'S THROAT.—Margaret Hardy, aged 3 years, the child of Mrs. ArKinlay, a soldier's wife, residing in Kilmarnock, was found in the street with her throat cut. A woman named Jane Millar has been apprehended on the charge of attempting to murder the child. The prisoner was intoxicated at the time and had been drinking with the child's mother. No motive is attributed for the attempt to take the life of the child, who is ex pected to recover. STABBING BY A Boy.—At Halifax William Pickles 'MIS brought up on remand on the charge of stabbing two other boys. The case was clearly proved, and the prisoner was committed to the sessions for trial. The Emancipation of Toulouse relates another case illustrative of the dangers of premature interment. Just as some gravediggers were lowering into the earth a coffin containing the body of a young girl who was supposed to have died on the previous evening, a green was heard, the coffin was opened, and the inmate was taken out alive. LAFAYETTE's TlonsEs.—The Gaulois tells a little -Republican anecdote about Lafayette. At Lamarque's funeral the crowd took cut the General's herses as he was returning home and drew him to his hotel. " You must have been very pleased " remarked a friend some time after wards. " Very much pleased indeed," replied Lafayette " but I never saw anything more cf my horses." NOT SO BAD AS HE THOUGHT. — An 0 1 .(1 man, whose sight was defective, was reatling a newspper cn the train between Wheeling, Va., and Wasiiingtn. IV hen ho reached the first tunnel the disappearance of the light caused him to look up. Taking cif Lis sine - Lacks and wiping • . them, he replaced them, and again tried to lead. Perceiving • that all was dark, he dropped the l.aper, exclaiming in a • loud voice, "My God, Fm blind, I'm blind !" It was a long time before he could be convinced what was the matter. On coming again to the light he thanked God fer vently for his sight. —Chicago Tribune. A THE RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR NOTTINGHAM. — All the sufferers in the Derby Infirmary are reported favourably of. There was a rumour that the poor woman Parrott (whose leg had been amputated) was dead, but - upon inquiries on the spot it turned out incorrect. The dissatisfaction is general in this town and district at the • abrupt termination of the proceedings at the inquiry, and a further inquiry is loudly called for. The conduct of • both coroner and jury are called in question. The guard of the special could not be called on account of being injured by the collision. The inquiry, however, went on . without this man's evidence, which no doubt would have been very important. So strong is the feeling that nothing short of a Government inquiry will satisfy the public in this district. • THE FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE.—At the Lynd hurst Petty Sessions, on Wednesday, Mr. John Light, a Farmer, living at Bartley, near Southampton, was charged - with having in his possession on the 15th of September last eighty sheep affected with the foot and mouth disease, and not giving notice thereof to a police-constable with all practicable speed, in compliance with the pro visions of the Contagious Diseases (Animals) Act, 1869. Defendant pleaded guilty, but urged that he did not know that the sheep were suffering from the disease. The chairman of the bench said that there were no less than twenty-five places in the county where the sheep , were suffering from the contagion. It was necessary that the provisions of the Act should be strictly observed ; but, as defendant had not wilfully disobeyed the law, the bench was willing - to dismiss the summons. He wished it to be understood, however, that if a second case were brought before the bench, a heavy penalty would be inflicted. OFFENBACH.—Jacques Offenbach first saw the light of day at Cologne on the 20th of July, 1822. Some of his biographers make him three years older, but the date we he composed songs. Then, all unknown to his father, who was a bandmaster, he taught himself the violoncello. There is a pretty story how, at the ago of ten, he was taken by his father to hear a quartet of Haydn's executed by himself and some friends, but the violoncellist not being to the fore the youthful Jacques volunteered to play the bass part. The idea was laughed at, but he soon shewed his capability . to do so, and was allowed to join in the quartet, which he did with perfect success. Three years afterwards his father sent him to Paris, with letters of introduction to Chernbini, then director of the Conservatoire. The rules of that institu tion then prevented any but French students from enjoy ing its banefits, but on hearing him play Cherubini succeeded in procuring a special exception in his favour. We next hear of him playing the violoncello in the orchestra of the Opera Comique. There he shared the desk of a well-known player, Seligmann. These two artistes had a habit of amusing themselves by playing only alternate notes, instead of each playing the entire part, which almost drove the conductor into a lunatic asylum.— Theatrical and Musical Review. The Leeds Branch of the English Church Union neld itsannnal commemoration on Wednesday, sermonsheing preached at St. Saviour's and St. Barnabas' by Archdeacon Denison and the Rev. R. Rhodes Bristow, of Lewisham. Between the morning and afternoon service there was luncheon at the Great Northern Station 11041. About fifty ladiesand gentlemen were present, tut the meet ingderived its chief interest from the remarkable speech of tine Archdeacon, who commented upon what he maintained was the great danger which threatened the Church front the nomination of Dr. Temple to the Bishopric of Exeter. He had, he said, received letters from the Archdeacon of Exeter intimating that the Dean and Chapter and the whole of the clergy of that diocese were rising as one man against the appointment; and he also read a communication from Dr. Pusey, which stated that, if Dr. Temple's appointment took place under the sanction of the civil power, there would he no course left to them but " openly to contend directly ,and immedi ately for a dissolution of Church and State." Archdeacon Denison added, that so strongly did Dr. Pusey feel upon the matter, that, after a long, intimate, and affectionate friend ahip with Mr. Gladstone, he had broken altogether with him in conseqUeUce of his selection of Dr. Temple. METROPOLITAN GOSSlP—Thursday, The Government are evidently preparing for a session of hard work. Cabinet Councils do not generally begin until December, yet it is announced that the first will le held this year during the last week of the present month. There is good reason for this promptitude. The land ques tion alone will require much consultation, and not a little mutual concession on the part of a body which has for members men so different as the great Commoner, Mr. Bright, and such a representative of the great landowners as the Marquis of Hartington. Another Irish question, the increasing and serious agitation for a political amnesty, will have to be faced, and will, I trust, be faced firmly. The whole subject of education—education as it affects each of the three divisions of the kingdom—has to be thoroughly discussed. Electoral Reform, including such topics as the establishment of the Ballot and the abolition of the hustings, is another large subject. Postal and tele graphic development will also be brought before the Cabinet. The present insurance panic will doubtless stimu late the Government into introducing a measure for com pelling the publication of insurance returns. Then there are foreign questions, especially the resumption of negotia tions with the United States Government, and the impend ing rupture between Turkey and Egypt, which will have to be considered. The large question of legal reform has ap parently been staved off indefinitely by the appointment of another Royal Commission, although some thought that Lord Cairns's inquiry had obtainedall the information that was needed. Time was, and that not so very long ago, when the acces sion of a journalist to high office would have been signalised by great prosperity on the part of the journal belonging to him. There are abundant ways in which a Minister can convert a pecuniarily unsuccessful into a pecuniarily successful journal. He can give early informa tion of important State matters, and so obtain for it a reputation which will largely increase its circula tion. He can flood it with Government advertisements, and do as was done last year to a very large extent, when notices of Admiralty contracts for rum and pork were sent to a London journal, circulating almost exclusively among the rural clergy. It is to Mr. Brights credit that he has not done this. Before he became a Minister he occasionally supplied the Morning Star with special information which he had acquired by virtue of his position as a Royal Commissioner. But from the time that he took office he ceased to do this Nor did he seek to subsidise his journal out of the public purse by sending to the Star an unfair proportion of Government advertisements. Thus it has come to pass that the Star has ceased to exist at the very time when it might have been expected to flourish. This ought to be remembered to Mr. Bright's credit, even by his numerous opponents, some of whom may perhaps have very different experiences of journalism. As for the Star it has made a gallant fight. It was started in 1856 as the advocate of Free Trade, Liberalism and Peace. At that time Free Trade was the only article of its creed which was in popular favour. For Liberalism there was that spurious thing— Palmerstonism ; for Peace there were China wars and French panics and constant American bickerings. The policy advocated then has prevailed ; but the original advocate has had to give way to others. The union with the Dial was a disastrous and well-nigh fatal partnership. The proprietors of the Chamber of Agriculture Journal have determined to make their paper one for the general reader, as well as for the class on whose behalf it was started. For this purpose it has been enlarged to twenty four pages of seventy-two columns. Subjects relating to agriculture continue to be treated by competent hands, with Mr. Algernon Clarke, of Long Sutton, for editor. The latest corn and cattle markets are recorded, and home, foreign, and general news are given in a condensed and readable shape. Among the specialties of the journal are articles on mechanical novelties, sport, and entertain ments. It was stated recently in the A thewunt that Mr. Stephens, the sculptor, had not begun his statue of the Duke of Wellington for St. Paul's Cathedral. This statement was inaccurate. Mr. Stephens' contract was for seven years, of which two are unexpired. He has already made such progress that the works have been commenced at. St. Paul's for erecting the memorial. Mr. Stephens has pur chased an iron chapel at Haverstock-hill for his workshop. and has there made his model in clay. Beneath the chapel he has set up a foundry for executing the castings. Under the roof of the chapel he is constructing a house, which will remain when the iron structure is removed. Mr. Stephens, far from being the dilatory man he is generally supposed to be, is really most industrious, and works from sixteen to eight' en hours a day. The opposition which the appointment of Dr. Temple to the Bishopric of Exeter has excited is becoming stronger. The election will not be confined to the canons only, but will rest with the "greater" chapter, which includes all the prebendaries. Some of these, I have reason to know, are prepared, or, at all events, threaten to resist the nomination. This circumstance recalls the fact that similar opposition was offered to the election of the late Bishop. It seems difficult to imagine that Dr. Phillpotts could ever have been objected to on the ground of his Liberalism. Yet such was the case. He had then recently " ratted " on the Catholic Emancipation Bill, and the Exeter Chapter were furious that his "treachery" should be rewarded by a mitre. I need hardly add that the opposi tion on this occasion died away in mere talk. Ido not say that the present opposition will have a similar issue ; but it may comfort the souls of vexed Exonians to recall this histo rical incident,and to remember that "the modern Athanasius" was once in danger of rejection from the Episcopate because of his supposed political heresy. Anyhow there can be no question that the present mode of electing is a farce, and a blasphemous farce. After all the High and Low church men of the West might have had a man whom they would have deemed even worse. Had Dean Stanley been appointed to the Exeter or any other Bishopric, Dr. Pusey would at once have commenced an agitation for the separa tion of Church and State. It is contemplated holding a special mission in London just before Advent. The idea has originated with the High Church party, and it is proposed that eminent preachers of that party shall conduct services and preach sermons simultaneously in some party churches. Among these will not be Mr. Luke Rivington, who, though known to the frequenters of All Saints, Margaret-street, as one of the most rising preachers of the party, has recently resigned his curacy, and will shortly retire into a religious house which is now being built. He will pre viously attend the (Ecumenical Council at Rome. Dr. Gale, the " blind inventor," has recently returned to the West of England, and intends, I believe, to live at Buckfast Abbey. A little while ago, one of our most eminent surgeons was consulted by a very wealthy manu facturer, who was suffering from mortification of the foot. The surgeon said that he could do nothing for him, that the case would in all probability have a fatal issue, and that, as a last chance, the patient had better try galvanism. He went to Dr. Gale, and had the good fortune to find this dernier ressort successful. Full of gratitude to the man who had rescued him from the very jaws of death, the manu facturer made over to his deliverer property to a very large amount, which I do not feel myself at liberty to mention. But I may say that I have never heard of any fee which at all approached this one in magnitude. I gave you such a full budget of literary news in my last letter that I have little fresh to tell you to-day. Strahans 's new volume. but do n i eerb a l l titn a n n irf n re c q e u a e l n i f . aTt 6 e a ra n tron h with the author. The same publishers announce a pocket edition of the Laureate's works in ten volumes, and new poems by Gerald Massey, who has been too long silent. Messrs. Strahan are also republishing as separate volumes many of the serial articles which have already appeared in the Contemporary Review and Good Words, among:them the Rev. John Hunt's able theo logical biographies, which appeared in the former magazine, and Dr. Macleod's "Peeps at the Far Rest," which appeared in the latter. A work significant of the greater unity of Christians is announced. It is entitled " Our Common Faith," and consists of popular expositions of the Apostles' Creed by Bishop Alexander, Dean Man.sel and Dr. Vaughan among Churchmen, and Drs. Hannah, Raleigh, D. Brown, and W. C. Alexander among Dissenters. One of the works anticipated with the greatest interest is Mr. William Michael Rosseti's forthcoming life of Shelley. Professor Dellinger of Munich has in the press a new work on the Religious Sects of the Middle Ages. Mr. Murray's chief announcement is " The Correspondence of the late Earl of Elgin," edited by Theodore Walrond. It may interest your readers to know that the real name of the gentleman who has written several works (among them " Chaucer's England "), under the name of "Matthew Browne," is Rands. The health of sewing -machine workers has lately claimed the attention of the medical journals, and a variety of ail meats have been attributed to the " jarring" noise made by the machines. It is desirable that a matter which so seriously affects the physical and social well-being of a large class of workers should be thoroughly investigated, and any improvements tending to ameliorate their condition adopted. It would, however, be a pity to deal indis criminate condemnation to all machines. Some o f the old machines require much force to propel them, and are difficult to stop, but most of those newly constructed can be worked with very small propelling force, and are easily stopped. A day or two ago I had the opportunity of visiting the factory of ➢ir. Grocott, of Barnsbury-rcad, where in a large, lofty, and well ventilated room, a number of young women were seated at machines, four in a row, engaged in the manufac ture of jackets and cloaks. The noise was comparatively trifling, and appeared to proceed solely from the action of the needle. The young women stated that they suffered no ill effects from the character of their work. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. THE sun, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 15, 1869. SAFETY OP DR. LIVLNGSTONE. The confirmation of Dr. Livingstone's safety is only what might have been anticipated from the nature of the intelligence we first published. This latest news is from the explorer himself, whereas the previous reports have been brought from the interior by various Arabs. But though one such rumour might be untrustworthy, it was reasonable to conclude that several natives would not bring precisely the same intelligence at different times. There was only one white man up the country, and therefore all reports of the kind could refer only to Dr. Livingstone. A CANDIDATE'S EXPERIENCE. Mr. Walter Bagehot's evidence at Bridgwater is instructive reading. Mr. Bagehot is a man of good posi tion, an author ofrepute, and the editor of that able parer the Economist. Having long been connected with Bridgwater, he considered himself an eligible candi date for the Liberals of that borough, and, indeed, se he was. Being asked to stand, he consented. lie was given to understand by the local wirepullers that the election was to be pure, and at a public meeting he declared his intention of standing on no-corruption principles. Alas ! though Bridgwater had known Mr. Bagehot's family for seventy years, Mr. Bagehot did not know Bridgwater. With the exception of a little disgust at the cupidity of the electors, he re mained in guileless innocence until after the polling day, albeit he thought it strange that he should secure so many votes, for the Liberal game was confessedly a losing one. The next day, how ever, the wire-pullers, with a • somewhat abashed countenance, presented him with a heavy bill. Mr. Bagehot would not at first undertake to pay the money. It was against the moral code ; it was a direct violation of the pledge which had been given him. But the advice of his agent, and the fear of being considered mean, in duced him at last to consent. Mr. Bagehot paid £1,532 10s. ; his legitimate expenses being £193 10s. Such is the story of Mr. 8a,,0-ehot. It is a clear . proof that in a hopelessly corrupt constituency the will of a can didate does not go for everything in the matter of bribery; votes must and will be paid for. DOINGS AT NORWICH. The Norwich Election Commission has had Sir W. Russell, the sitting member, before it. He declares that he gave positive instructions to his agents to have no illegal practices; but the expenses of the two Liberal candidates were £2,872, of which Sir W. Russell paid half, under protest against the sum. He does not believe that there was any treating on the Liberal side, or any illegal expenditure on his behalf at the last election. Sir W. Russell likewise gives his opponent, Sir H. Stracey, credit for being ignorant of and averse from bribery and treating, at the contest in November. No doubt there was considerable corriTtion on the Tory side, and much drunkenness, but it was against the wish of Sir H. Stracey. MR. BERNAL OSBORNE. The entertaining representative who was so ruth lessly rejected at N o ttinglvvm last year has favoured the electors of Tipperary with Ins opinions on Irish matters. Mr. Bernal Osborne holds that the views of the Roman Catholic prelates on the subject of educa tion ought to be treated with respect, seeing that those prelates act as spiritual guides to the majority of the Irish population. Now, the leaders of the Catholic Church in Ireland desire that the children of their followers be educated in Roman Catholic schools, and Mr. Osborne is inclined to grant this request. "So far it appears to me that the demands of the Roman Catholic bishops are not unreasonable, for if a system of denominational instruction be maintained in England, where the majority are Protestant, how can it be refused to Ireland, where the majority are Roman Catholic ? " A rigid conscience clause would answer all purposes. The late member for Notting ham is not sanguine respecting the land question, but he is inclined to support any legislative measure so as to interest more people as proprietors of the soil by removing every obstacle to the purchase and sale of land. TUE POLITICAL EVICTIONS IN WALES. Public opinion is able 'to do great good in the way of prevention of evil; but it is not-omnipotent. The evils in connection with elections it has altogether failed to prevent. Nothing could he more unanimous, for instance, than the way in which the alleged poli tical evictions in Wales were protested against a little while back : the Conservatives, on whom the blame was cast, got nothing from their organs but a denial of the truth of the various statement. Yet wo are now explicitly told that, "Notwithstanding the general condemnation of such oppression, both in and out of Parliament, many, though not all, of the notices have been carried into effect; an '1 in Cardiganshire, Carmarthenshirs, and Carnarvonshire, the tenants have been driven from their homes, ant without any compensation for the money which they have expended on improvements, which has, in some cases, amounted to considerable sums." The events (our in formant adds) have made a deep impression in the Principality, and are likely to be followed by a general express:on of public feeling and of practical sympathy. A conference on the subject is to be held at Aberystwith in the early part of next month, and numerous popular demonstrations are likely to follow. It is proposed to appoint, in each county where evictions have taken place, assessors, who will in vestigate and report upon the losses of the sufferers ; and also that, on a given Sunday, there shall be a national collection throughout all the Noncon formist congregations in Wales and the Welsh congre g ations in England. An appeal will also be made to English Liberals, some of whom have already promised their earnest and liberal support. As an indication of the feeling which these evictions are likely to evoke throughout the Liberal ranks, it may be stated that Mr. Hugh Mason, of Ashton, immediately on hearing of them, and unasked, for warded to .Mr. Richard, M.P., a cheque for £lOO "for the cause of the evicted." Mr. .Morley, M.P., and others have also pledged themselves to support the proposed movement. "Already," says a'contemporary, " the effects of landlord tyranny are seen in the numerous sales by auction of stock land farming implements in Cardiganshire and Carmarthenshire, which are occasioning great popular excitement." ELECTION MATTERS. The parliamentary return touching the election of 1868 affords more light respecting the sublime indiffe rence of the lodger. In the metropolis this indifferenco amounts to absolute disdain, for in Lambeth out of 33,377 electors but 419 are lodger votes ; in - the Tower Hamlets, 467 out of a total of 32,546 ; in Greenwich, 255 out of 15,588. Marylebone is far more enlightened than the rest of the Loudon boroughs, for she musters 4,019 lodger votes, a ninth of the whole constituency. In Plymouth one elector in every fifteen is a lodger. The returns - vary exceed ingly. A small borough like Windsor has 58 lodgers; a very large city like Manchester only 28. Canter bury and South Shields have both 18 ; Lticester and Malton are blessed with one. It is evident that time is required to enable the lodger to develop° himself. On an average about three-fourths of the entire number of voters came to the poll at contested elec tions last November. But in the large boroughs, as might be expected. the datjn A l i w y d apr is nild in the small _Plag.os...creaue—it was much urger. - rte Ashton-under-Lyne the number who came to the scratch was 4,44.5 out of the 4,822 on the register ; at Bewdley 1,03 G out of 1,043, the closest polling of all ; at Bridgwater, 1,408 of the 1,484 ; at Clitheroe, 1,453 of the 1,595; at Coventry, 7,717 of the 7,925 ; at Durham, 1,508 of the 1,603 ; at Maidstone, 3,123 of the 3,214; at Peterborough, 2,249 of the 2,461 . ; at Pontefract, 1,902 of the 1,910, very close polling indeed ; at Stockport, 5,279 of the 5,702 ; and at Taunton, 1,809 of the 1,977. The large boroughs shew very differently. At Leeds there were 10,000 out of 37,500 who cared nothing about voting; at Finsbury more than a third of the registered men knew not the poll ; and South wark disgraced itself by bringing up but one half of its total. Sheffield appears to have presented the fairest proportion-22,01 5 out of 29,955. It must be remembered, h ow ever, that in these large places the contest was usually so hollow that it was really not worth while polling. 'RETRENCHMENT. The retrenchment system at the Admiralty has been painted a little blacker than it really is. It was stated that the factory system had been forced upon the hands at Chatham, and that the establishment at Portsmouth was being reduced to the same level, to effect a saving of £3OO a week. This is wrong. No reduction is being made or contemplated either in wages or in numbers at Portsmouth ; and at Chat ham, instead of forcing the factory system on the bands, the reverse is the case, it being intended to assimilate in January next the hours of the non established factory men at Chatham to those of the established shipwri , hts. This will remedy the evil of having different hours for men in the same esta blighment, and will obviate the necessity of dis charging some of the men. The reduction in the l o totaf wag,:s will not exceed £lOO a week. TIIE SOLICITOR-GENERAL FOR SCOTLAND. the " move upwards" baking place among the clergy in England, caused by the deaths and retire ments of bishops, is represented in the legal profes sions of Scotland by a similar move, the result of the suicide of Lord Glenalmond. We have already stated that Mr. Moncreiff has been made Lord Justice Clerk—the second judge in the Northern Courts ; and our readers know that Mr. Young, late Solicitor-Cieueral, has bowl ma4o 1•ord . Aglyoc_ats, It is noW alulaariced that lilt Atiarew _Rutherford Clark has been made the Scotch Solicitor-General. ONE VIEW OF . THE LAND QUESTION. The members of the old Reform League are just rousing themselves to consider the land laws; and, as might be expected, f: 3me of them, and not the least prominent, are taking a very extreme view of the matter. They called together a meeting in London on Wednesday, and to it was presented a programme of what .was necessary to be done. Its leading principle appears to be that there is no such thing as private property in superfices. The land (said one of the speakers) is the Lord's; and who ever heard of God asking for rent ? Yet even the most extreme speechmakers did not go so far as to say there should be no rent. The aforesaid programme declared that the land belonged to the people—an expression which may mean anything or nothing. The meeting passed a resolution endorsing the sentiment. A. protest was also adopted against the monopoly now held by the landlords. Beyond this, however, the reformers did not seem to agree very well. The next declaration upon the motion paper was "that the land should be held by the State for the people ; " and it was followed by the proposal that the State should buy the land from the landlord; or, as the words went, "the land should revert to the State," the landlord being " compensated " by terminable annuities—and the State should, on obtaining possession, lease or let the land to the people. To what common result the theorists will come we cannot predict, as they ad journed their meeting for a fortnight. AMNESTY AGITATION. A. meetin,g• of moderate proportions was held in South London_ on Tuesday, in furtherance of the agitation for the release of the Fenian prisoners. The assembly not only passed resolutions on its own behalf, but it came to the conclusion to give energetic support to a demonstration contemplated in Hyde Park on Sunday week. An imposing array will be gathered together on this occasion. There will be bands, banners, trade and benefit societies, " district bodies," horsemen, and a ladies' pro cession. It does not appear that any member of the Royal Family will take part in the pro ceedings, but "several members of Parliament, the representatives of democracy, and the distinguished advocates of Continental Liberal opinion" will, when the procession arrives, diffuse the hght of their coun tenances around the scene. But even these great men are not heart and soul in the cause. They will not walk. THE IRISH AND THE EXTRA POLICE. The in one respect strange way the English Government has adopted of punishing Irish districts in which crime abounds—by making the ratepayers pay for additional security—seems to be regarded much in the light it was intended to be held—as an infliction for negligence. Whenever there is an order made for an additional force of constabulary in a dis trict marked by much crime, straightway the extreme men—those generally, by the way, who palliate the crime it is sought to suppress meet and declare the measures of the State unnecessary. The Government has just sent an additional force of police to Portadown—a measure resulting from the late riots there. The usual meeting has been held and the usual protest passed. The Protestants lay the blame of the riot upon the police, who interfered to stop a party demonstration —in fact to prevent a breach of the _acv. It would be impossible to shew to them that the extra constables are necessary, as the representatives of a law which must be upheld notwithstanding that they disagree with it. THE RECONSTRUCTED CHURCH. The Irish Church laity are getting ahead of the clergy in the work of reorganisation. A. very cum brous work it was at first, so cumbrous that it is really surpriSing to find it pretty nearly accomplished. The bishops called together the provincial synods as a preli minary, and told the laity that they must get to business. The laity, however, did not know what to do, and the bishops did not in the beginning enlighten them. At last, after a little coquetting between shepherds and sheep, the laity sent a requisition to the bishops. The bishops replied by a requisition to the laity, and finally the diocesan conferences came about. The parochial machinery was set going. Lay repre sentatives were first chosen—one for each clergyman —who met, and out of the whole number selected delegates, one out of every five, to attend a general conference of the laity, which first met on Tuesday. Thus the body of non clerical representatives is organised, whereas the clergy have yet to choose their delegates to the General Synod, where both parties meet as one assembly. The correspondent of the Times is highly satisfied with the body of lay delegates. It has been chosen not merely with regard to social rank and influence, but to intelligence, earnestness, and prac tical ability, without any reference to political dis tinctions, and with a laudable disposition to blot out the remembrance of past differences. "Itis an assembly worthy to represent any Church or country with honour and advantage, containing as it does 400 of the noblest and best types of Irish Protes tantism." ENGLAND AND THE SUEZ CANAL. The Viceroy of Egypt's invitation to the meinbcrs of the English Royal Family to- attend the opening of the Suez Canal has not been accepted ; and his Highness's vi-it to us, so far as this matter is con cerned, has been of no effect ; for, according to a metropolitan contemporary, it has been " defi nitely settled " that neither the Prince of Wales nor any member of the Royal Family of England will go to Egypt on the great occasion. Of course, we must be represented; but Mr. Elliott, our Minister at Constantinople, will probably be our envoy. CATTLE DISEASE. The foot and mouth disease prevails extensively in the parish of St. Pancras. Forty-four per cent of the cowsheds in that very large metropolitan district have been assailed already, and the same proportion of animals have been attacked. Only two have died. Dr. Stevenson, the medical officer of the parish, states that cows grazing in the fields enjoy immunity from this plague. What may be the influence of the disease on the milk of the animals affected by it, and on the quality of their flesh when dead has not been ascertained; but we are assured that human beings are liable to it ! It conies within the experience of many persons to eat cow at different times ; but the world might surely be spared from diseased cow. LIVE 'WITH AN EARL'S BROTIIER FOR. £lOO. Here is an honour ! For the loan of £lOO one may board and lodge in the family circle of an Earl's brother. We are really serious ; in proof thereof read the following advertisement which ap pears in the Times : An Earl's brother requires a loan of £lOO. As security, would admit lady or gentleman into his family circle to board and lodge. References required.—Apply by letter, &c., &c. How cheaply may the great boon be obtained ! To board and - lodge with an Earl's brother for the loan of £lOO ! Perhaps—and this is ascertainable—the lodger and boarder who lends the 1010 may even occasionally catch a glimpse of the ;Earl himself, say from the top of the staircase as he comes into the hall. If he leaves his hat in the said hall, stipulation might be made for the privilege of an examination. A drawback is suggested by a con temporary that the board at the house of even an Earl's brother who needs a hundred pounds, would not overflow with plenty. Still, that could be overlooked, for what matter the fare when it is eaten i nli ti n jui vit th ; at z trob j e i r of a real. live. FINANCIAL GAMBLING AT NEW YORK. Nothing could be more complete than the utter prostration in American commercial circles caused by the late gold speculations. Every share, security, and bond in the Republic was affected by this terrible convulsion of finance. Government stocks fell not less than 7 per cent., and some of the principal rail ways declined to an enormous extent. The New York Central Railway fell 60 per cent. ; lludson River, 19 ; Harlem Rail way, 43. Th ere h as b e en an almost total suspension of business, a d emora li z ation of trade, and depression in the price bore Wall-street cannot be cleared away ; the loss of everything. " The wreck that encum• the country has sustained is incalculable ; and it is believed in New York that if either Fisk or Gould were to appear in the open streets their lives would be in danger from the infuriated mob." These, the two notorious Erie men, are most answerable for these catastrophes. It was owing to their manceuvres that dozens of great fortunes were lest and won in the space of hours. Now things are looking better, there is a reaction in prices, and commerce will probably recover with the ordinary transatlantic rapidity. FOREIGN NOTES. A COLOXIAL STATEDIAN ON TIIE NEW rEALANtt DIFFICULTY. Mr. Sewell, who has been niore than once a member of the New Zealand Government has just published a pamphlet, which is intended as a e.ohuial reply to Lord Granville's despatch to Sir George Bowen. Mr. Sewell answers the several points of Lord Granville's despatch one by one. He censures the Imperial Government for planting the capital and establishing the colonial govern ment in the northern part of the Northern Island, instead of in the southern part, or in the Middle Island, where the settlers were tolerably free from native interference. The Government have throughout treated the aborigines as a foreign people and assumed their guardian ship. The retention by the Government of the exclusive right of dealing with the native proprietors was, in the opinion of Mr. Sewell, a fatal error. Mr. Sowell limself was a member of the first responsible Colonial Administration under Governor Gore Brown. At that time he says the colony was a slum bering voleano, owing to the difficulties with the XatiVes on the land question, and to various quarrels between the tribes, which the Government was powerless to prevent. He asserts that it is absolutely untrue that the colonists, troubles are of recent growth and that they have brought them on themselves. They inherited them from the Imperial Government and its persis tem.ce in maintaining a distinct " native department," over which the colonial Ministers had no control. Mr. Sewell then goes on to analyse the origin of the several wars from 1859 down to the present time. He denies that the colunists have any desire, in the words of Lord Granville, "to appropriate the property of others," and affirms that the confiscations which have been sanctioned by them have only been ap proved of as a means of punishing native tribes guilty of outrages and rebellion. _ _ _ Corning to the question of the guarantee, he details the circumstances connected with the withdrawal of the troops. There are no grounds, he says for accusing the colony of arrogance. " The colony sub • mated to circumstances which it could not control. The removal of the troops had become a necessity, partly on economical grounds, and partly because the Colonial Government could not control the Military ovra lions. During the process of removal there have been con tinual differences between the Colonial and the Imperial Governments and the civil and military authorities, and Mr. Sewell accuses the latter of maligning the colonial Ministers in their letters to England. Lord Granville's dispatch, he thinks, is calculated to give deep offence to the colony, especially as it is coupled with the refusal of material aid. He doubts whether the connection of the colony with the mother country can be maintained under the altered circumstances. So long as a colony feels that in case of need it may claim help, it acquiesces in the unavoidable restraints imposed by the connection, but the obligation to help cannot be denied without a severance of the family tie. The mother country will decline to enter into specific guarantees and only give a general assurance of help in case of need. But says Mr. Sewell, the question must force itself upon the colonies, especially those of the Australasian group, whose gold ships offer such rich prizes in the event of foreign war, whether the advantages resulting from the maintenance of the Imperial connection are a compensation for the possible entanglement in. European political quarrels. The Times, in commenting on Lord Granville's despatch, observes that the colony has chosen self-government and responsibility with it. If it will persist in an unconcilia tory system towards the natives, it should make up its mind to the sacrifices necessary for their conquest. It is as unreasonable and unbecoming for New Zealand in its political capacity to beg help in a domestic difficulty from Great Britain as it would be for Berkshire to impor tune Oxfordshire to assist it in paying its rates. Such help would only retard the growth of that spirit of self-reliance without which colonial self-government is a mockery. TUB ALABAMA CLAIMS. It is rumoured from Washington that the Government of the United States contemplates a renewal of the nego tiations respecting the Alabama claims. Nothing will probably be done until Congress meets, as the Government wishes to be sure of the support of the Legislature before it takes any more deci4ive steps, the last attempt at a settlement having been frustrated by the action of the Congress. SPAIN'. The Republican insurrection still holds its ground in Valencia, and in cyder to reduce it, troops have been talceu from Catalonia,. The gravest feature of the outbreak seems to be the fact of seventeen deputies having joined the insurgents. It is feared that others may be induced to follow their example. The Trurac-Bat contains a dismal description of the country which is suffering from this fratricidal war. At Saragossa in particular the fighting has been most severe, and the loss on both sides very considerable. It is said that several Spanish families have emigrated to Africa to escape the excesses cf the insurgents. The damage done to the means of communication is so great that it is difficult to obtain intelligence in a regukr form and many telegrams are delayed in transmission. The other day General Prim held a grand review of the troops in 11ladrid, in order, it was supposed, to exhibit his strength, and prove that the garrison had not been reduced as the reports had stated. The last accounts do not fur nish definite information of the party headed by Sal vochea and Paul in Andalusia. It is mentioned that the insurgents have suffered a defeat in Junquera, near the French frontier, and that the chiefs had crossed the frontier. Some of the Republican provincial papers have been suppressed, and the minority deputies are secreting themselves, in consequence of a report that they are to he arrested under the Liberties Suspension Act. The Official Gazette announces that over a thousand insurgents have laid down their arms in Catalonia. The municipality of Teruel have proclaimed the Republic. THE RUMOL'IIF,D HOLY ALLIANCE, The Cologne Gazette declares that too much importance has been attached to the rumoured alliance brie, cell Aus tria, Prussia, and Ilussia, opecially in l'rznce. The renewal of the policy of this alliance would be an impossibility in these days, and it must be remembered that even in 'Russia public affairs engage more general attention than formerly, while in Austria the majority of the people have to decide on all important matters. The object of these inven tions is to make out that Prussia is hostile to France, and seeks to form a coalition against liar. The Gazette does not believe that the Emperor Napoleon will again chew a hostile front to Prussia, and it is quite certain that the Berlin Government will not sanction.any such project as that of the Alliance. GOLDWIN SMITH ON CANADA. (From the Anglo-American Times.) Unless we mistake, Professor Goldwin Smith will receive little thanks in America for his letter, published in the Daily .iVeics last Tuesday. We believe the Professor to be mainly in the right, yet the letter will give offence, both to Canada and the United States. It appears that some one forwarded to him a Canadian journal, containing an article on the value of the colonial connection to England, and its small cost, coupling Mr. Smith and the Times among the anti-colonialists, who flourish and grow confident because they are not encountered on their own ground. The Professor alludes to the strange association of himself with the Times, he who was formerly denounced by the leading organ for holding the very views for which, in conjunc tion with himself, it i 3 now censured. The writer shows that the change originates in the working men;who, though still unrepresented in Parliament, at least have votes, and are determined that the overwhelming load they already bear shall not be increased. This is the wind which has whirled round the Times, and not Mr. Lowe, as the Cana dian journalist supposes. Mr. Smith disclaims the name of an anti-colonialist, for no human being can be more firmly convinced of the value of the British colonies, or prouder of them, than he, rat ing them far above all other trophies of British greatness. England, in future times, can only re tain her place of honour in history as the parent of such communities, and as relating the preparation ior founding h er i„,H.„ r y las an that of other nations. irlg n agisu their aarifoun dation that Mr. Goldwin Smith has ever argued, but in favour of their timely emancipation, as the best means to preserve and perpetuate the moral bond of mutual affection, now imperilled in the case of Canada, by continuing dependency beyond its natu ral period. What Mr. Smith advocates is— " That, when a fitting opportunity presented itself, Ca nada should be made an independent notion ; that Great Britain should guarantee her independence for a term of years ; that she should retain the British flag, with such difference as the heraldry of nations may prescribe; and that mutual citizenship should be preserved to the extent of permitting the members of each of the two kindred nations to take up all the rights and privileges of a citizen in the other nation at their pleasure by mere transfer of residence, and without any process of natu ralization," Hereafter if a ]'an-Britannic Council can be insti tuted for the preservation of intimate relations be tween the scattered members of the Anglo-Saxon race, it is not from the school to which he belongs that opposition will come. The letter proceeds to discuss the reasons why Canadian independence would be beneficial alike to Canada and England, a still greater portion being devoted to show how entering the Union would be injurious not only to Canada, but to the Continent. " Ceasing to hold Canada as a dependency, wo should be at once released from the danger of war with America, and the representatives of England would once more stand upright and fearless in her presence. It is with the prospect of an easy triumph over England on the Cana dian battle-field that the war demagogues flatter what ever there is of military ambition in the American people, who would not be much allured by the prospect of a merely maritime war with the first naval Power in the world. As to Alabaman, our commerce once mainly under steam, and the Suez Canal open, they need not frighten us out of regard for our honour. That any commercial ad vantages accrue to England from the colonies retained as dependencies which would not accrue from trade with them as independent nations nobody has ever attempted to prove. Canada lays heavy import duties on the products of our industry, as though we were a foreign nation. If she was independent we might negotiate a reciprocity treaty with her ; while she remains a dependency wo dare not even remonstrate, though all the time we are guaranteeing her loans It is not pleasant to dwell upon these things, but when we are considering whether we shall stake the future of both countries upon the reasonableness and justice of the present connection, we must not blink the facts. Canada, on tLe other hand, is placed in perpetual danger by our disputes with the United States, with which there would otherwise be nothing to prevent her from living in perfect amity. She is stimulated to spasmodic expenditure on defences by the alarms of our War Office. She loses her Reciprocity Treaty, and her freedom of com mercial intercourse with her neighbours, the strength of the Protectionist party among whom is the hatred of Eng land. In case of war the doom of Canada would be cer tain. Ido not doubt that the spirit of her yeomanry and gentry is such that if the word wore given them they would shed their blood for the honour of the Empire. But who would give them the word ? In those days of scienti fic strategy and arms of precision, victory declares with ruthless certainty in favour of the largest battalions." The writer, contrasting against this danger and the positive evils resulting what Canada, gains as s Province in a moral point of view and with refer ence to her highest interests in the future, arrives at a conclusion unfavourable to the connection, and not flattering to the public men of the Provinc.L To us the most interesting portion of the letter is that advocating independence as against annexa tion. We believe that those who best understand the subject, stud.) ing it without prejudice and with out any personal motives involved, agree with Mr. Smith in condemning the political connection ; but the real question for the Canadians and for Ame rica generally is, independence versus annexation. Our own belief is that the Canadians will try in dependence, and in case of failure enter the Union. Mr. Smith asserts that the large and growing party appears to be for independence, while he does not think that many colonists are in favour of annexa• tion except in Nova Scotia, and he does the Ameri can people the justice to say that they do not ex hibit any intention to force annexation on the Canadians. A man could know nothing of the United States who supposed that it was possible to induce the citizens to violate the principles they held most sacred, by forcing a foreign dominion on a reluctant people. Nothing shows more conclu sively English ignorance of American affairs than the general belief that Americans could so act, and their citing the suppression of the rebellion in the Southern States as a case in point. It is almost vain to argue against the opinions of those who cannot distinguish between the internal disruption of a nation and foreign conquest. But we feel assured that if Canada elects to try independence she will find a friendly and encouraging neighbour in the United States. Mr. Smith's reasons against annexation are not without force. Canada woula be involved in the political and commercial conse quences of a civil war in which she took no part, and her political offices would fall as prizes to the party in power, with neither of which had she any connection, the objects of both being in a degree alien to her interests. The Negro and the Chinese, and other questions which lower at this moment on the political future of the United States, would en tangle her's : "She would be brought under a tariff dictated partly by American interests of a sectional character, partly by antipathy to England, and which would be not only in jurious, but ruinous to her trade. By accepting the Con stitution of the United States in its present form she would be placed in relations to other countries, and especially to England, such as I believe few Canadians would desire. The American Senate of late years has grasped a large share of all the powers of Government, but especially of the treaty-making power; and the principle on which this body is elected, all the States, large and small, hav ing an equal representation, gives a groat ascendancy to New England, where the bitter feeling against the mother country has at present its chief seat. Canada would be in danger of being involved iu what to her would be a truly fratricidal war with England by the votes of Ver mont, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island." Mr. Smith evidently thinks that Canada is more the guardian of pure Democracy than the United States, and without such ballast chaos might ensue on the Continent. She is a reserved force to retrieve in America some of the errors 'into which, in its impetuous courso, amidst so many conflicting interests, and with a population so heterogene ous, it is morally certain to fall. In this point of view her premature absorption would be a misfortune for which no extension of territory could compensate, especially to a nation staggering under the vastness of its dominions. But in every point of view there is much to be said against a precipitate fusion of Canada with the United States. Let us pay all duo honour to American progress, which, beside the vast a;dition which it is making to the wealth of man kind is, by the mechanical invention which is so charac teristic a part of it, gradually raising the labourer every where from the level of a horse or an ox to that of the guider of a machine. Still Americans themselves aro well aware, and are constantly complaining, that the excitement of this intense commercial and industrial competition eats out health of body and tranquillity of mind. It is to dif ferent habits of life, I presume, that the Canadians owe the retention of physical qualities which must strike every eye, and whatever advantages of temperament such quali ties may entail ; and these perhaps may prove contribu - tions to the future happiness of the population of the con tinent as important as the independent judiciary and free representation.' It must not, however, be supposed that whatever may be the degree of independence attained by Canada that Mr. Smith does not foresee some sort of union which will confederate all North America into one, for the purposes of internal free trade and external security, which he holds to be absolutely certain. We may notice a point of vital interest which the Professor has overlooked in discussing annexation. Suppose we allow that New England feels more bitterly towards the mother country than any other portion of the Republic, and that accord ing to the present system it is politically the strongest, sending, in proportion to area and popu lation, a larger number of Representatives into the most powerful legislative assembly, yet it does not follow that the wisest plan would not be to meet such hostility in that very Chamber. The point Mr. Goldwin Smith has missed is simply this—the influence Canada would have on the Union as States of the Union. Mr. Smith views the question alto gether from one side, thus only seeing the influence the Union would have on Canada, while not taking into account the influence Canada would have on the Union, which we maintain would be in proportion to the truth of Mr. Smith's assertion that the sturdier and purer Democracy is in Canada. Perhaps Mr. Smith has resided long enough in the United States to get strongly impregnated with what may be locally true, still generally false ; but not long enough to have that error corrected. New Eng land is the seat of the most, hostile feeling towards ‘..n.cat• we Lave always wttn sorrow allowed, nor are the reasons difficult to find. It was New England sentiment that laid the founda tion of the civil war, it was against the Puritanical Yankee that the Southerner raged, the spirit which animated that group of States and the great slave holding oligarchy was as bitterly opposed as feel ings could be. England, that is, the representa tive classes of England, those who appear promi nently and whom foreigners can see, favoured the Southern against the New England sentiment, and not only materially aided it, but gave it the means of sweeping from the seas the ships of these New England States. The pill was all the more bitter because New England fully anticipated that the sympathy of England would go with them in the great slave struggle, and New England recognised the fact in their error that at least a powerful sec tion of the English people were prepared to sacrifice all good principles to their dislike to the progress of American Democracy. Mr. Goldwin Smith finds himself among a community for he mixes much in New England society suffering under the smart and from the consequences of England's tergi versation, and resenting it bitterly, and he ima gines this feeling to pervade the entire Union ; hence the tenor of his communications to England, exaggerating au idea which, however true of par ticular localities, is not the general sentiment of the American people, and which instead of increasing, daily lessens. This mistake vitiates much of what he says, and the bias has been increased by the wide expression of the annoyance in the American press caused by his letter written immediately after the delivery of Mr. Sumner's speech. We are all human, and great and good a man as is Professor Goldwin Smith, he is not above a prejudice, which we assert, has tinctured his views on this subject.
