TILE STADE DUES.—The Hamburger Naehrieh ten publishes the following respecting the settlement of the Stade Dues :—" It will be remembered that England pro posed the abolition of the Stade Dues at an indenini fication. of 3,000,000 dollars, of which England was pay 1,000,0000 dollars, Hamburg 1,000,000 dollars, and the other States to contribute the rem ainder. As Hamburg •ehips seldom paid th e St a d e D ues , Hanover thought at first that Hamburg would decline the proposal, and hoped to obtain better conditions from England. hamburg, however, justly considered that th e abolition of the d ues wou ld be greatly in the interest of the port of xja,.mburg, and accepted the proposal.

(Before Mr. Kerr.) .1 0. DUBLIN, TULZSDAY MORNING. ATTEMPTED MURDER IN THE ‘JOC INTY OF LONGFORD The Evening Nail publi3hes the following ac count of an attoupted assassins;; ;ion in the County of Longford ou Saturday night last : " Longford, Sunday.—l reg . ] -et to state that a daring outrage was committee L near Edgeworth stown last night, when Mr. G' forge W. Slator, of Oartron-lodge, was fired at, and had a narrow escape of his life. " Mr. Slator had been to Dublin, and returned by the evening_ train to Edgeworthstown, where his car met him to take hirii home at half-past eight o'clock. Mr. Slator Nvt- Ls accompanied by his driver only, and on reachir .g his own gate a man came from behind the wall, went up to Mr. Slator, and fired a pistol at him. He jumped off the car, when he was assailed by another man who came also from behind the wart and fired at Mr. Slator. The ball with which th,e pistol was loaded passed through a heavy frieze coa t w hi c h Mr. Slator wore, and carried away some of the cloth. Mr. Slator was providentially un injured. The police came up speedily, and are busily engaged in search of the offenders. I will send you any further particulars I may learn of this diabolical outrage. " Mr. Slator was served with a threatening no tice in May last, warning him that a gun was ready for him in case he persisted in removing certain tenants then under ejectment." The account published in a morning journal is , somewhat more minute in its details. It says : " Having reached Edgeworthstown station Mr. Slator got on his car, with his butler driving, and on reaching his own gate, at about 8 o'clock, two men rushed from behind the wall inside, one taking either side of the car, and immediately asked, Is Mr: Slator here ?' The servant replied, ' Yes ;' and Mr. Slator, never apprehending any danger, also said, Yes, I am.' Whereupon one of the assassins exclaimed with emphasis, Mr. Slator,' and at the same moment discharged a pistol so close to his in tended victim's head that the flash burned Mr. Slator's -Cheek, and the slugs with which it was loaded carried away part of the collar of his frieze coat, tearing in on the shoulder also. Mr. Slator was hampered at the time, his coat being strapped round him, and a rug round his knees, while he held his umbrella open in his hands. He jumped off the car, however, as quickly as he could, made a thrust of the umbrella at the assassin, and turned round to follow him, when a second assassin met him imme diately behind the car, and fired another pistol, loaded with a ball, which passed through the breast of his outside frieze coat, carrying the piece clean through into the folds of the inside coat, but glanc ing off harmless: The miscreants then ran off." 2.701, ; - LIABILITY OF COFFEE-HOUSE KEEPERS FOR LOSS OF • PROPERTY-COSTER V. BROWN. In i case plaintiff :3ought to recover 20s , the value of a hat, alleged to have been lost upon defendant's premises. Plaintiff said he went with some friends to have some oysters at defendant's rooms in Aldgate. He placed his hat behind the chair upon which he was sitting, but finding it in the way of persons coming in and going out gave it to a waiter, who put it on a peg. When plaintiff was about to leave he found upon the peg a hat not worth twopence, but his own had disaprcared. His Honour—How do you make defendant liable ? Plaintiff—l gave it to his waiter. Mr. Cranch, of London-street, urged that to make de fendant liable ho must let beds. It had been so laid down. Defendant was not an innkeeper. His Honour—That is so; defendant must have a verdict with costs. NON-LIABILITY OP PUBLICANS FOR LOSS OF PROPERTY• BAWLEY V. HARRIS. In this case Mr. Nash, for the plaintiff; stated that a coat had been left at the bar of a public-house kept by defendant in Barbican, and it had been lost. Mr. Buchanan, for defendant, said he would state his defence at once. In the first place, this was a gratuitous bailment ; and, in'the second place, plaintiff had sued the bar-maid instead of the mistress. Plaintiff was called, and said on the 7th August last be was in Barbican, and calling in at defendant's public-house handed his macintosh coat to the barmaid. She put it under the bar, and when he called a few days afterwards it had disappeared. - - His Honour—Did you give the barmaid anything to take care of the coat ? Plaintiff—No. His Honour —You cannot recover. Verdict for defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE -(THIS DAL BOW STREET. ROBBERY AT THE WAR -OFFICE.—Edwin Davenport was placed before Mr. Corrie, on remand, charged with stealing a salt-cellar and various other trifling articles from ti.a War-Office. The prisoner, it appeared, was employed from the Office of the Board of Works relaying the carpets in the War- Office, after the different offices had been cleared, and from time to time various small articles were missed from the place ; at last the prisoner was suspected, and, on being watched, he was seen to secrete a saltcellar. On the pri soner's apartments being searched the missing salt-cellar was found, together with an official copy of the report on the Army Estimates and Army List. A number of other small articles were discovered, which it was suspected had been stolen, amongst them three small paintings which had the name and address of a Miss Julien, who was a student at the Kensington Museum. On proceeding to that lady's address, the police were informed that the pictures had teen left by that lady in the school of the Museum, pre vious to its closing for the vacation. Sergeant Selley, of the B division of police, said he had charge of ;the Museum for a portion of the time it was closed to the public. The prisoner had been at work there during the time the school was closed for the vacation, and during that time prisoner must availed himself of the opportunity of stealing the pictures. On being asked what he had to say to the charge, the prisoner merely asked one of the witnesses from the War Department whether he could swear to the books being the property of the office, which question was answered in the affirmati7.

ATTEMPTING TO PICK POCKETS AT THE ENTRANCE OF HER MAJESTY'S AND THE HAYMARKET THEATRES. — Henry Godfrey, and Alexander Rice, two well-dressed young men, were charged, before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with at tempting to pick the pockets of several persons while leaving her Majesty's and the Haymarket Theatres the previous night. From the evidence of Sergeant Cole, 23 C, it appeared that seeing the prisoners in the Opera publio-house, Hay market, overnight, in company of persons he knew to be thieves, he watched them, and, just as the company were leaving her Majesty's Theatre, he saw the two prisoners mix themselves with the crowd at the grand entrance. After watching them for a short time, he saw Rice walk by the side of a female with an elderly gentle man, and put his hand into her pocket, and afterwards feel the outside of several other per sons' pockets. They went into Anglesey-yard for a minute and crossed over to the Haymarket Theatre, the company at the time coming out. He then saw Rice try the pockets of several persons there, and when near James street he stw Rice put his hand into a lady's pocket who had just left the theatre. He then secured Rice, but lost the other for a time, but afterwards found him while he was looking for his companion. Godfrey gave his address at Bow, and Rice at Wapping. Notwithstanding he had seen them drinking together, at the station they denied all knowledge of each other. In consequence of the number of pickpockets frequenting the Haymarket of late he had been placed there especially t o wa t c h. - _ Mr. Tyrwhitt said the case was very clearly proved against them—one was operating while the other was watch ing and covering him. Committed for three months, with hard labour. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER-TUESDAY. The Cambridgeshire occupied but a small share in to day's business ; 6 to 1 was offered on the field, and 20 to 1 was offered against Thunderbolt, who is evidently not in great favour here. Maggiore was freely supported, and backed as low as 20 to 1. The Liverpool Cup was fairly entered upon, and from the number of horses backed it bids fair to be a good bookmaker's race. There was no great weight of money invested on any particular animal, each receiving a fair share of support.

AQUATICS. SCULLERS RACE BETWEEN MACKINNEY AND WISE. Yesterday the above contest for aquatic honours came off over the old course, viz., from Putney to Mortlake. The usual preliminaries having been adjusted, the men tossed for places, when Mackinney won the choice, and took the Middlesex side of the river. The start took place at three o'clock, when Mackinney dashed his sculls into the water with the rapidity of lightning, and in a few strokes drew himself in advance of his opponent; but very shortly after Wise overhauled him, and at Searle's was two lengths ahead, which he kept until they arrived off Craven-cottage. In crossing the river Mackin ney began to put forth all his power, and gradually shortened the distance between them, and eventually came up to him, and a fine race ensued for the next 100 yards, both men rowing scull and scull together. From this point Mackinney again began to show ahead, and gradu ally increased his advantage. At the Crab Tree Mackinney was two clear lengths in advance, and passed under Hammer smith-bridge 4 seconds before Wise, the time being— Mackinney, 9 min. 58 sec. ; Wise, 10 min. 2 sec. - Wise struggled manfully to recover the lead, but ineffectu ally, as at every stroke Mackinney improved his position, so much so that at Barnes Bridge he was fully five lengths ahead, this portion of the distance having been rowed in 22 minutes. Scarcely any alteration took place in the position of the competitors until the winning post was reached, when the victory was gained by Mackinney, who won the match by six clear lengths. _ The time occupied in rowing from Putney to Mortlake by Mackinney was 25 min. 48 see. Thomas Mackinney was umpire for his brother John, and Mr. Williams fulfilled the same office for Wise. Mr. Biffin was the referee.

The Morning News has had‘communicated to it an " important and interesting letter from a gentle man resident in Rome," a " translation of the most striking passages" of which it publishes. Here is part of the first of them "At the same time that the ultimatum of Cavour arrived, we had the news of the entry of Cialdini and Fanti into the territory of the Pope. That was the 11th of September; Lamoriciere was then at Foligno. On the 13th I went to Cardinal Antonelli; I found him in great joy, that at last things were coming to a crisis, because he had the conviction that the Powers could no longer remain inactive. On this last point I frankly made the objection that I had too little confidence in the energy and intelligence of Cabinets to share the opinion of his eminence. Then he told me, with much satisfac tion, that he had just received a despatch from Paris informing him that the Emperor had ordered M. Talleyrand to leave Turin, unless the Piedmontese troops should immediately quit the Roman territory; and that he (the Cardinal) had at once communi cated this news to Lamoriciere for his guidance. As the entry of the Piedmontese had been arranged at Chambery between Fanti, Cialdini, and the Spirit of Lies, I replied again that I would never rely on a devil incarnate such as N. ; that it was all a miserable scene of hypocrisy and treason ; but the Cardinal gave me reasons why he thought he could have con fidence this time at least. Twelve hours afterwards he discovered his mistake, and that the monster had again deceived him, but it was too late." The writer of this letter, if it be genuine —and of this, I think, there can be no reasonable doubt— must be on a footing of peculiar intimacy with the " Holy Father" or his chief advisers, for he states in another passage— " The Holy Father wrote last week to Bonaparte, asking him to state distinctly, and without the usual ambiguous phrases, if he wished to protect or not the temporal power of the Holy See, and not merely the person of the Pope, which, he said, had no need of the protection of the Emperor, since it would be quite as much respected by Garibaldi or Victor Emmanuel as by Bonaparte. The reply was worthy of the crowned canaille. He says that he regrets exceedingly the conduct of Piedmont ; but, having recognised the principle of non-intervention, he could do nothing in favour of the Holy See. However, he would triple the garrison of Rome if the Pope required it. This was but adding a new insult to so many others heaped upon the sacred head of the Sovereign Pontiff by this infernal spirit." The requiem performances for the defunct mem bers of the defunct Irish brigade are being continued still with laudable energy in every district which possesses a Roman chapel, and a public meeting of the regular and secular clergy in Dublin is called for to-morrow at the Roman Catholic Church, Marl borough-street, the object being to express sym pathy with " His Holiness." One would think that His Holiness ought to be pretty well tired of mere expressions of sympathy by this time. THE GIPSY COLONY OF YETHOLM. (From the Scottish County Histories.) The present strength of the various tribes in Kirk-Yetholm is about 80, consisting of Blythes, Ruthvens, Taits, and Douglasses. The strong tribe of the Faas, from whom the King was selected, is now extinct. At the death of Will Faa, several years ago, the throne was seized by Chas. Blythe, husband of Etty Fan, sister of the King. Before the death of the late King, the revenue of the tribes had decreased to such an extent that his Majesty was i forced to lay aside the diadem and become, for a time, the protector of game on several farms belong ing to the Marquis of Tweedalo. He was an excel- lent fisher, well acquainted with every pool and stream in the Beaumont, Cayle, and Colledge waters. By game preserving and fishing he con- tiived to scrape together as much as supported life, and he was well supplied with drink by visitors from every part of the country, anxious to see those people who had been rendered so interesting by the pen of the mighty magician. But times are changed, visitors are few to the present King, and but for the generosity of the noble lord who occasionally resides in the neighbourhood, his Majesty would often be without supplies. The King is about 85 years old, possesses a fair share of health, but com plains that living in houses subjects him to cold, which he never had while he dwelt in tents. The chief employment of the gipsies was travelling in the summer season in promiscuous bands. They generally left their settlement at Kirk-Yetkolm in the end of March, and did not return till driven back by the storms of winter. Most of the men assisted in the operations of the harvest, and in the winter carted coals to Jedburgh. When out on the route they lay beneath their carts, or upon straw under wicker-frames, with a cover which resisted the weather. During their progress through the country they laid the farm-yards, corn, and potato fields under contribution to a great extent. They had a perfect knack of thieving, and carried off everything that came in their way—corn, hay, hewn stones, wheels, and axletrees. They may be said to have lived in a complete state of ignorance, " without God and without hope in the world, till the Rev. John'Baird was inducted into the pastoral charge of the parish, when; through his efforts, they were induced to attend church and school; and he obtained from the Edinburgh Bible Society a grant of Bibles and Testaments, which e nabled him to place a copy of the Scriptures in every g i p sy dwelling.

(The winter session in the Faculty of Arts and Laws was opened yesterday, wl en Professor Beesly - , A.M., delivered the introductory lecture. This being Mr. Becsly's first lecture since election to the professorship of history, mere than usual interest was excited, and there was consequently a very full attendance, including a considerable number of ladies. The subject selected by the lecturer was "The R e l a ti on of History to P o li t i cal SCience which he dealt w ith logi cally and in gre a t detail, illust;:ating.his argument by fami liar comparisons. Hi s object wae iie";d , e t nd oprove that histo r y was a suitable subject on which valuable to p es e uth e whose d time— that at present it was mu c h neglected by t h it especially was to promote it s s t u d y, and that such neglectuty was the cause of great injury t o soc i ety in general. It would be said that everybody reccgnised the importance of history as a branch of education; but what he contended was that the grounds on which, as a branch of education, it was popularly based were altogether inadequate to its importance and its bearing upon social happiness. Th e history of the world must be taken from the beginning, not, as some supposed, as furnishing a guide to action in similar circumstances, because in no two ages or countries would exactly similar circumstances occur, but as showing the gradual progress of society in its course of develop ment, and the connection which the events of the past had with the present, and their influence even from the most remote times on the existing social condition of man. Re ferring to our own Parliamentary history, he remarked that, had the Ministers, relying upon the support the House of Commons received from the public in former times when resisting encroachments upon their exclusive privilege of taxation, resolved upon setting the power of the House of Lords at defiance in the recent case of the paper duties, they would have found that the circumstances were not parallel, for the people regarded the question with comparative apathy. Consequently the history of the past, in the instance of ship money and other precedents which might have been thought applicable, could have proved no sufficient guide to their conduct. Prevision, not preven tion, was the quality which should be disiderated by states men. The reasons usually assigned for the study of history were not therefore valid ; and that it was a popular study he attributed to the natural interest all persons felt in facts that had occurred, to the inherent attractiveness of his torical reading, and perhaps in some degree to popular ' good sense, which admitted its importance without exactl3 knowing why. The real motive which should induce the study of history, however, was the desire to improve, the social condition of mankind. All other influences on van's happiness were as nothing compared with social influence, and the success of our efforts to ameliorate the condition of mankind from the lessons of the past must depend upon our knowledge of the laws of social development, the science of sociology. The means which we possessed for the in vestigation of those laws were observation, experiment, and comparison. He then proceeded to examine the practical application and use of those means, showing that the first two, observation and experiment, were closely dependent upon history, and that the principal branch of the third method, viz., the comparison of consecutive states of humanity, was in effect the philosophy of history, and was not only by far the most important resource of the science, but was, in fact, identical with its dynamical aspect. In short, the amelioration of man's condition on earth was dependent upon a science which could not be pursued a step without the aid of history. Such was the chain of argument on which he would rest the advantage and neces sity of historical studies. History enabled us to ascertain the laws which governed the pest, and to form a comparison with them, so as to judge of their influence upon the present. Contemporary history was not sufficient, perhaps because its nearness prevented our appreciating its importance ; yet to judge by the debates in Parliament one would suppose human society was not more than 200 years old. We heard occasionally reference to the times of Canning, of Castle reagh, and of Pitt, and now and then, but very rarely, to the glorious Revolution ; but the continuity of history, and the bearing of the events of one period on those of another, seemed to bo lost sight of altogether. In this the 19th century, it would not do to ignore past history, or treat society as having nothing to do with events be yond the last two centuries. A Government composed of statesmen who had properly studied history as a science would know its own mind about India and Oriental ques tions. They would inquire what right we had to hold India, and if we had the right they would bo able to show what advantage resulted from it. They would not be content to go on year afteryear with a deficit 0f.£5,000,000 or £6,000,000 for want of nerve to meet the difficulty boldly in the face. And with regard to the labouring classes, they would know that they had in the course of social development risen from slavery to their present comparatively free condition, and were progressing to still greater importance in the social scale. Take the case of slavery in America ; a proper knowledge of history would enable the abolitionists to treat the question argumentatively, instead of with empty rant. It would enable them to show that while slavery was suit able to ancient times—that in its origin it was a step towards civilisation, being a mitigation of the doom which ordi narily befel the vanquished—it was utterly incompatible with the present advanced state of social progress. Then it might be asked, was the study of history in this way ne cessary in all cases ? He would not exalt sociology at the expense of other sciences. The best education was that which began with mathematics and followed on until it reached sociology, which was the highest. The University of London (continued the lecturer), though it still lingers too much in the old ruts, and makes the most important sub ject a mere appendage to literature or the pretended science of the metaphysicians, does make some effort to tread in this path. Still it is very clear that at present and for some time to come, it no one approached sociology until he had passed through the whole previous course, that study would be left untouched by almost every one. We are not all of us Cabinet Ministers or M.P.'s, but some of us are electors—not a large proportion of the community it is true—still it is not uncommon to meet a man who has a vote. Whenever that man votes ho exercises a political function. If he happens to be a man who has learned to regard politics as an art based on a science, he will deplore the rude institutions of his country which call upon him to share in the government of society, whether he has been qualified by a special training in sociology or not, simply because he is aVO householder. Still, he will act for the best. He will not waste his opportunity, but record his vote, even if he has to do so with 10,000 others —not folding his hands in sulky conceit, like the wealthy electors in metropolitan boroughs, because he has not got it all to himself—as if there was such a very appreciable difference between the 1000th and the 10,000 th part of a talker in the "national palaver." If Parliamentary Go vernment is a clumsy, barbarous machine, and if half the people who work it do so in an ignorant and reckless manner, so much the more need that the other half should try to prevent mischief—if nothing else, till political science is better understood. We have seen within the last few years to what a degree the most vital principles may be at 1 stake when a general election takes place. Surely, then, the political—that is, the historical—education of the voters is l of vast importance, and its need becomes every day more urgent and pressing. (Hear, hear.) To those who take an interest in political and social questions, but who are not voters, a true knowledge of history was of equal import ance, for to their influence we must look in a great measure for improvement. We are not all newspaper editors ; but we are all newspaper readers, and if it is demand which creates supply, we are not without our influence, each one of us, on the public press. Now, we are always talking about the power of the press. We talk so much about it that au I fear we deceive ourselves into thinking that we are a y . on our guard against anonymous and irresponsible once. the Par law journal in our o or A scientific conviction is the only protection, "sparkling quo though an ample one, against the ranee" that too frequently lays down ' newspapers.

But there is a class beyond those he employers of labour on a large scale. referred to—the had I feel the more justified in speaking of these, because I know that this college has the honour, and the high and a new • a s responsibility, of educating many of that class. To them I would say, you are the destined rulers of society ; the time is not far distant when the barren and aimless struggles of party shall give place to great economical and social questions, which you, and you alone, will have to decido. You will find yourselves face to face with a vast body of those you employ. They will stand before you— intelligent upon the whole--moral upon the whole, and it may be with a keener perception than you of the needs and destinies of society. They will say to you, " Accept your position—feed us, educate us, care for us, and rule us." You will accept their terms—your pecuniary profits will probably not be so large ; your responsibility and mental anxiety will be immeasurably greater—but you will be re conciled to your functions by the proud sense that you have . taken the place of Parliaments and Cabinets, and other worn-out machinery of Government. But if you take this place, it will not be to govern as they did in blind and not always well-meaning ignorance of political science. To you, inthis final reorganisation of society will belong the office of applying practicallyto the government of the worldaccord ing to your discretion the principles that aro elaborated by speculative philosophy. Hence the supreme necessity to you of a timely introduction to the general principles of social science, illustrated in and based upon the d history ton a ef o the past—trained in such a discipline your education a class will have begun, and though the prePar' u t . i° B u ons of w i th l e i first generation may be imperfect and feebles,eye: but darkly grasp more firmly the idea which you h In conclusion, he pointed out how h e is f tiy u v in e sh eu snit b fr e e t m aug th h e t —viz., by following the pregra c l ive stage of progress as earliest times, marking each su that procetled it, as uotiliE it wgii QvQly4d 4viii gig ago its influence upon that which followed.

The Professor was loudly cheered at the conclusion of his lecture. 271 R. TV ALTER, M.P. Mr. Walter, M.P., made a speech on politics and things in general at the dinner, on Tuesday last, of the Royal East Berks Agricultural Association. He referred in the first place to the House of Commons and the late session : " So far as their performances in the House of Commons were concerned, he believed he might say with truth, with reference to himself and his colleague, that they were as assiduous in their duties, such as they were, as most men in Parliament. He would not attempt under the colour of social science, to enter upon the field of politics, as was the fashion now, and as Lord Brougham had dons the other day at Glasgow, who, when speaking on the subject of social science, made a pretty slap at the House of Com ( i nrene, and characterised the late session, in his (Mr. Walter's) opinion, in very just terms. He must say that a more unsatisfactory session hale not taken place since the passing of the Reform Bill, and none of the gentlemen present could have received the intelligence of the termina tion with half the satisfaction that their representatives did. A t the same time, although little had been done, and although the year had been signalised by great failures in rsr e e : n ‘ legislation, it was on e o f t h e most remarkable years which thisdiif we they o read some th they h w ad ou s l deenfind ther e , an Ann arka u bl a e l occurrences, both in and out o f Parliament. It was a l Register, i generation"ster , year of great failures and striking events ; it might be emphatically called a year of strong measures —the first of which was the establishment of that to while some gentle men had already re ;erred—the volunteer force. (Applause.) The importance of that measure to this country, he be lieved, was not appreciated as it ought to be. It had pro duced prodigious effects on the continent. He had been informed by gentlemen well acquainted with France, that the effect produced in that country was most decided, and foreirners were bound to acknowledge that there was a gre a t deal of life in the old dog yet, and that England was Still really a fighting country. There was another event in England which produced a great effect on foreign nations. He had no doubt they wore puzzled to know what he re ferred to—it was the fight for the championship. (Laugh ter.) There was no event occurred during the last session which was so much discussed by bishops and archbishops— (renewed laughter)—statesmen and people, both at home and abroad, as the fight between Tom Sayers and Heenan. Nothing could have better established the reputation of Englishmen for pluck and endurance the most remarkable. In the House of Commons the French Treaty was cha racterised as a strong measure, and there was what was considered a stronger measure still in the House of Lords. He referred to the paper duty transaction. It was a strong measure undoubtedly, and was looked upon as one of the most remarkable events of the century, but it was justified by the circumstances of the case. Then they had the amalgamation of the military services at home and in India, a matter discussed very much in Parliament, and they might call this proceeding a final winding-up or a finishing stroke to the East India Company, and a necessary complement to the act which brought India under the go vernment of the Queen of England. In addition to all these events which had taken place in the moral world, nature had been acting strongly during the whole year. They found there had been such floods of rain as they had not witnessed for many years previously, and yet with all that there was an abundant harvest generally speaking, there being only a few cases of failure. But there was still a more painful topic to refer to, and which seemed to him to partake of a strong character ; he meant the daily and fearful catalogue of horrible crimes and murders of the most alarming and dreadful features. They were shocked every day by reading accounts of the most cold-blooded murders, committed ap parently from no alleged cause. Leaving these matters for the lawyer and the mayor to find out, he would pass on to the Continent of Europe, where they could study the acts of one of the greatest of volunteers—Garibaldi—(chee rs ) — and, last of all, he came to the Pope, whom he found in a very awkward predicament—(laughter) —so that if little had been done in Parliament, they had plenty going on out of Parliament to interest them, and to look back upon with feelings of astonishment. They were now happily arrived at that season of the year when they were allowed to look after their own business, which meant that they were in the habit of minding their own affairs in their own way, without the interference of the police. It meant much more than the constitutional liberties they enjoyed over other countries, and, although they could not make Go vernment do always quite as much as they wished, there were a great many things in which they could control their own movements. In the great question of reform, whatever benefits they might be disposed to expect when it came, that did not prevent them attending to a vast number of reforms under their own control. Let every gentleman look at his own estate, and see what was there to be done. Though he had not been idle as a landlord, still, when ho looked forward and saw the amount of work which was still to be done on his own estate before he could hope to get it in a satisfactory and preper condition, it was enough to ap pal him; what with cottages to be built, and children to be educated, and other matters, there was quite enough for any man to have thrown on his hands, without anything else. There was then the amelioration of the Bankruptcy Laws, and he thought they might do something for them selves in that department; also when they recollected that something like 90 percent. of the bankruptcies were brought about by recklessness and extravagance, people ought to leok a little more after their own business and avoid that extraordinary recklessness which was one of the besetting sins of the nation. (Hear.) If people did this they would have much less requirement for improvement in the law. Withrespect to the improvements in agriculture, it appeared to him that the ultimate object of that and similar associa tions scattered throughout the country must be the improve. ment of agriculture; if they did not do that, he did not know what good they would do, and exactly in proportion as thqi , did succeed in improving agriculture, and in raising the condition of all classes engaged in it, so would the necessity for such associations cease. This was a point they should bear in mind, because he had been given to understand that there was not that spirit in that association that there had been formerly.

The great harbour question has now assumed that pos iti on which may ju s t if y a conclusion that th e works will soon be commenced an d carried out with vigour. Very er roneous impressions appear to have b een en tertained as to the practicability of the works and the cost ; the arrangements how - that h av e been made by Mr. Scamp ' el ' el. ' during his stay h er e of a few weeks have dispelled ap prehensions. The work a all doubtful ppears to consist chiefly of deepening and extending the great harbour by dredging and constructing plant wall s an d f orm i ng wharves to the ex t ent of nearly two miles, and forming a direct communication from the grand harbour to the quarantin e harbour. There are th ree contractors here from England w h o are o bt a i n i ng o the particulars for enabling them to estimate ten ders f or th e w and Mr. Scamp ha s a d o pt e d th e following methodr k ' parties with whatfor proving to the comp e ti ng facility, despatch, and econ om y works of th e ki n d required can be executed i n thi s island. T o prove the capability of the two dredginc , vessels provided by Government he has had one worked, and the mud, &c., raised deposited in tho required spot at sea. A portion of the wharf works will be constructed on what is now land, but sub ject to the influence of water; and part will be con structed in the sea. He has had a sample of each constructed to prove with what facility the mate rials can be obtained and the work can be executed both below and above water. Part of the stone has been excavated and removed by carting to show the cost of such work. Stone has also been excavated in two places on the edge of the canal, to show with what facility the stone can be obtained for the ex tension of the harbour. Mr. Scamp's intimate ac quaintance with the material and people of the island has enabled him to do all this with great facility and despatch, and the examples shown will no doubt be of incalculable value, by en abling contractors to know the lowest cost at which such extensive works can be done, by bringing into use the plant and appliances usually employed. The drawings and other particulars have been prepared by Mr. Scamp the gui dance of the contractors in forming their lowest estimates, and he will l eav e Malta for England that in immediately. W e understand carrying out these works arrangements will be made for docking sbips of all classes and repairing their machinery. _ A m or -L-TrßlNa.—Those who e hav e walked be a through an American slave market ca nnot fail to re minded of i i t h a i ri t n s g . i n rows There st an d s the women, ry i n a m w id it g n , e d s osimngesamotiesPen n w ith their hands before theta,' andfield-hands— A and th e aw k war d carriage o f persons unaccustounaccustomedto at t h e y stand, disadvantageously fine i and still) The re n their dress, unaware how every flaunting ribbon and gay them with all the best mistresses. trimming tells against Good mistresses will remember, however, that girls are fine to-day who inay be plain enough on every o th er week-day of the year.
