SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC) JOURNALS. warrior who gasped out his soul at Canea with a last hurrah for Hellas and a curse for the Turk. . Only the Cretan orphan mourn s th e f a th er w h o f e ll fighting against a host of the infidel on the plain of Apocorona, or whose bones lie bleaching in the seaweed of Melidoui. The fate of the Cretans is hard. When Leopold, afte rwar d s Ki ng o f t h e Bel gians, w as offered the Crown of G reece b y th e t h ree protecting Powers, he refused it because Candia was not to be included in the new kingdom. For forty years the Candians have con ti nue d t hi s protest. Under a T urkish rule, w hi c h i s ac k now l edged to b e i as bad as it can be, they have lived out their passive remonstrance, which n ow aga i n h as b urst out i nto an active .attempt at i nsurrect i on. The only poor consolation that we can give them is that, after all, their lotis no worse th an ot h ers. Across the Atlantic ' the most heroic strug g l e th at h as been recorded for centuries has ended only in the complete subjection of ten millions of people. Have not the countrymen of Kosciusko been again conquered by Russia, while a brave little nation of th e N ort h has been dismem bered and overborne by mere force of numbers ? In these battles the rest of the wor ld paid the weaker causeits tribute of compassionate symthy, and when the stronger triumphed acquiesced blandly in the fact.. In the presence of th ese greater gr i e f s t h e mortification of the Candiotes, great as it may seem to them, assumes in o ur eyes b ut very tr ifli ng proportions. We have swallowed so many camels that we cannot presume to strain at gnats. Candia, it is true, may be the Venice o f th e M e di terranean . She may yearn towards Attica as earnestly as that city of the waters toward s th e new Italy. We may have nourished a sentimental partiality for her, but we should not have devoted a man or a gun to the liberation of Venice. Crete, too, must wait for her Bismarck before she can hope to be free. She must find some one great and powerful enough, not only to liberate her, but to profit by the business. Her Greek sympathisers are even less able to Make head against the Turks than were the Italians against the Austrians when they ran their heads against Peschiera and were scattered at Custoza. The Cretans must be content to bide their time. When Turkey breaks up it may be their turn, too, to be free. Until the Great Powers have made up t h e ir minds that it is expedient for them that Turkey should break up Candia must be content to take her place with other Christian nationalities not over-well affected among the subjects of a Power which is well able to keep them all in subjection so long as no one interferes between her and them. The intelligence respecting the civil war in this unfortunate island, with which we have been favoured from time to time for several weeks past, has been so conflicting that it has been impossible to make anything of it. From Greek sources we have had circumstantial statements of victories won by the patriots, who were notoriously assisted hymen and money from Athens. From Constantinople, meanwhile, came tidings of a contrary nature, representing the insurgents as de feated in several minor encounters, while the Turkish and Egyptian troops were pressing them so closely on all sides as to render their prolonged resistance out of the question. While from Egypt we were told that the contingent sent by Ismail Pacha was doing its best, other reports represented the Egyptians as half-hearted in the business, owing to the dis pleasure of the Viceroy at the refusal of some im portant concessions which he had demanded from the Sultan. - At last, just after a story of a great victory won by the Cretans, comes a telegram from the other side so positive and so circumstantial that we can hardly refuse it credence. The Turks, under Mustapha Pacha, have defeated the Greeks after an obstinate and sanguinary battle at Orissa, near Apo corona. 10,000 Cretans were engaged, and driven to lay down their arms after suffering great losses. The Turkish general was marching on the last stronghold of the rebels in the wild country of the Sphakiotes, in the western part of the island. Three superior officers and 133 subalterns of the Greek nationality are said to have been captured. A later telegram adds that deputations were arriving from all quarters announcing the submission to the autho rities of the insurgent bands. To this statement, which seems probable enough, it adds the story of 3,000 of the Cretans having taken refuge in a cave on the shore, where they were " drowned Ly the rising of the tide" of the Mediterranean Sea! This story would be frightful indeed if it were not in credible. We must wait for further news to render it clear to our comprehensions. Now that the insur rection has been suppressed—and as long as the matter was left to the Turks and the Candians there never can have been any doubt of its ultimate sup pression—we may crust that the Turkish Govern ment will use its victory with moderation. Without waiting for the development of the views of that Government it would be as well, we think, that the Great Christian Powers, the protectors of Greece and or all the Christians in the East, should make their influence felt on theside of civilisation and humanity. They may not be willing to see Turkey dismem bered, but short of a consummation which at the moment they would deplore as a catastrophe, they may be desirous to seize on an opportunity to loosen the chains of another community of their co-reli gionists in the East. There seems no reason why Candia should be any longer denied the same mea sure of liberty which has been granted to. Servia, to Roumania, and to other provinces subject to the suzerainty of the Porte. It would be a graceful act on the part of the Ottoman Government , if, after acce pting the submission of the Cretans, it were voluntarily to accord to them a charter which would gratify them with, at least, apart of their desir es , would silence their burning animosity and discontent of years, and make them for the time peaceable if not loyal subjects. In so doing the Sultnn would earn for his Government the cordial approval of the great Christian Powers, and tide over a difficulty which is a serious danger to the permanence of his rule. - -T Author of "Aleo Forbes," &a.

Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had -to pass the nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches. At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and orphans sre, for want accommodation, refusedadmittance, an d h ave to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least 5.1,000 more will be required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is pror.esed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor tamilies in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving ?

A WRITING TELEGRAPIL—A young emp/oyg of the Central Telegraph Office in Paris has invented a'new instrument said to be capable of transcribing every species of writing and drawing ; but instead of, as in the systems of Bonellia and Caselli, using chemically -prepared paper, he simply employs a wide strip or ribbon of the most ordi nary paper, on which the despatch is printed in printing ink of any colour —blue, red, or any other colour. The great drawback to this invention is that it only pretends to transmit fac-similes, 5 centimetres (F 96 inch) broad, the width of the tape ; but in compensation for this fault it is stated that the length of the band is unlimited, and the apparatus can transmit 40 messages per hour. The trans mitting instrument consists of a cylinder, 4.78 in. long, and 1.6 in. in circutuference, round which is wrapped the despatch to be sent, written in ordinary characters upon tinned paper. The message, in turning round the cylinder, presses against a point which traverses it in the direction of its length. The receiving apparatus is composed of an endless screw, lft. Gin. long, the thread of which, making rather less than ono revolution, rubs against an inked roller, and turns round above a band of white paper, which unrolls with the same velocity as the point travels at the despatching apparatus. Both instruments work by means of weight, the movement being, as in other apparatus of this nature controlled by electricity, isochronism being in dispensable between the movement of the point and the turning of the endless screw. When the current passes, an eloctro-magnet holds the paper at a distance from the screw ; but when the current is intercepted, in conse quence of the point having touched the non-conducting against the spiral to the part of the inkse screw, w o t a h n e d d a e s d p o a t t c ish a t h d e a b g a o n r d r e i s s p p o n r e d s i s n e g d writing traced by the point at the other end of the line. — Builder. TlMES.—Nobody has any reason to be surprised , if an orator who makes so many speec h es as M r. Bright does should become a ve r y d ec id e d man , nerist. A little while ago he went f ur th er an d ran • some risk of losing his hold, if not on the hearers, at any rate on the reade rs o f hi s speec h es b y te di ous repetitions. These repetitions some of his admirers pronounced to be the very hi g h es t s t ra i n o f art ; b ut Mr. Bright showed himself wiser than they, and has submitted to the labour of preparing a new speech for each new occasion. We rank his oration on the wrongs of Ireland delivered by him in Dublin as among the happiest of his recent efforts ; the theme was eminently congenial to him, and the very nature of the subject lent itself to that mannerism which is to him almost inevitabl e . Th e un if orm method with which Mr. Bright treats a subject is first to state a grievance and then t o p ropose a re medy. Heis very powerful in e x p oun di ng th e wrongs and miseries of mankind, and able, as we have recently seen, to make a fair show of wretched ness out of what appears to less penetrating eyes a very tolerable amount of happiness and prosperity. The weak point in Mr. Bright's speeches is generally to be looked for in the want of connexion between the wrong and the remedy. Although he states and exaggerates existing evils, he very seldom gives us any clue to the causes which have created them ; and thus it happens that for want of investigating the real nature of the disorder, the remedy has very -•-little to do with the disease: His plan seems t 6 be to assume that almost all evils are preventible by legislation, and, consequently, that if anything goes wrong the existing Legislature is in fault,—the in ference being that it ought, therefore, to be swept away and replaced by another Legislature which will make things go better. The business of the states man would be easy indeed did the complicated pro blems with which he has to deal submit themselves to so easy and superficial an analysis. If because two things co-exist we might always infer that one was caused by the other, there is no limit that can be fixed to the progress of our knowledge. But, though arguments founded on such a sup position may appear valid to large masses of men carried away by the eloquence of a practised speaker, those on whom the responsibility of acting and thinking for others really devolves know well that things cannot be dealt with in this offhand manner, It is the tendency of all Mr. Bright's speeches to represent the redress of all grievances as easy—as wanting nothing, in fact, for its accomplishment but hearty goodwill. It is the tendency of all practical investigation to show that evils continue to exist because Governments and Legislatures are impo tent to prevent them. Mr. Bright pitches upon two causes for the condition of Ireland, for the discon tent which pervades her society, her emigration, for her poverty—the Established Church and the tenure of land. The Established Church is a relic of a state of things which in other respects has happily passed away—of the absolute domination of one sect and the abject subjugation of another. But has Mr. Bright shown that, supposing the Esta blished Church were abolished to-morrow, its abo lition would heal any one of the evils with which Ireland is afflicted ? Would it stay- emigration ? Would it heal the discord between the two internal factions by which Ireland is torn? Is it really de sired by Ireland with any feeling at all approaching unanimity ? Has it been, or can it be, said now to be, a principal cause of Irish misery and poverty ? There would be justice, there might be expediency, in abolishing the Church of a minority supported by a uniform charge upon land. But does any one believe that such a measure, whatever be its merits, would really have any important effect on Irish prosperity ? Before we accept such a remedy as efficient, we ought to be told, not what has been the past history of Ireland, but what is her present condition ; not what made her miserable in times past, but what makes her poor and discontented now. True to his method of attributing everything to bad legislation, Mr. Bright proceeds to trace whatever misery is not accounted for by the Established Church to bad laws as regards land. What are these bad laws? The first is that the landlord, or owner of the land, is allowed to make what contract he pleases with regard to the letting it. In other words, that land in Ireland is treated precisely in the same manner as land in Scotland, England, and America, and as every other kind of property the owner of which is at liberty to let it exactly as he pleases. This is the first great grievance of Ireland. The second is that the nation is dispossessed of the soil, and this is stated to he the result of bad laws—of the law of primogeniture, for instance, which never operates on any large es tate. In this respect, also, the law of Ireland is similar to the law of England and Scotland ; and that law, the object of which is said to be to accu mulate land in few hands, is simply this—that the owner of land may sell, mortgage, divide, devise by will, and settle his land, just as he can his stock iii the funds, for a life and lives in being and twenty one years afterwards. The fault of the law is sim ply that it leaves the proprietor as free to deal with his land as with any other property ; that it lays down no rule at all, except the limitation in point of time which we have stated. The remedy pro posed is that the liberty of individuals should be curtailed, and some arbitrary inflexible rule substi tuted for the present free power of disposition en joyed by every citizen. To Mr. Bright this may appear a progressive policy ; to us it appears to have a decided retrograde tendency. The free right.to contract lies at the bottom of all individual and na tional prosperity, and the man who invades this may be a leveller, but is not a Liberal. The same may be said with regard to the complaint against absenteeism, and of the accumulation of large pro perties in few hands. These things are the result of unrestricted personal liberty, of acquisitions by the provident and of alienations by the reckless, and • the cry that is raised against them in the name of Liberalism is really a cry for the restriction of the rights now enjoyed by the individual citizen, and for pushing the dictation of the State into the management of every man's private affairs. The tendency of liberty is towards inequality, and it naturally follows that those who wish to create equality can only do so by striking a series of deadly blows against liberty itself. Mr. Bright is displeased with the extent of the estates enjoyed by some of the nobility in Ireland, and he thinks they would be much better in the hands of small proprietors. He therefore pro poses to create a Government agency for the purpose of compulsorily buying up these estates and re selling them in small allotments. It is not worth while to dwell on the shock to public credit and the security of private property which is implied in such a transaction. It is but a small step from compul sor'y sale to compulsory expropriation, and the . power which would deprive a man against his will of his estates would soon learn to appropriate the proceeds. But, supposing all this done, would Ireland be better off than she is now ? That depends upon the real cause of her poverty, and that cause is undoubtedly her over population. Her moist and variable climate does not permit her to support in comfort by cereal crops, or by the precarious resource of the potato, the number of her present inhabi tants; and yet Ireland is still one of the most thickly peopled countries in the world. To divide her soil, as is proposed, among small freeholders would be to stimulate the very evil from which she is emerg ing—the reliance of a redundant population on precarious crops. There is no hope of prosperity for Ireland until her population is reclined to the amount that she can fairly support, and every at tempt to prevent this reduction only tends to ag gravate her misery and retard its cure. The Reformed Parliament which should adopt the suggestions of Mr. Bright would give a signal :specimen of its in capacity, and add another proof that legislation restrictive of individual liberty, though powerless to arrest, is very potent to increase the calamities of nations. HERALD.—The curtain has fallen upon the tragedy of Mount Ida. For the last three months a terrible struggle has been going on between the Christians in Crete and their Turkish masters. We have paid but little attention to it, and now it is over. Europe has been too much occupied with her own affairs to think much of this desperate attempt at self-asser tion on the part of an unfortunate community which, 40 years ago, when Greece gained her inde pendence was left out in the cold. Wh a t with wars and revolutions ' in Germany, discontent in France, domestic agitation in England, and for Russia her organic reforms and Asiatic conq uests, the minds of men have been so far engrossed with weightier matters that scarcely a thought has been given, a word spoken on a crisis which a was at l in all rtanceto the Candiotes; and a matter o f as grempo to the continental Greeks as the supremacy m Germany to Prussia or the acquisition of Venice to Italy. And yet doubtless in this insurrection, which may now be considered to be suppressed, there have been heroic deeds which might have fired the imagination of the poet, brilliant episodes which might have gilded the page of the historian, had only the poet heard of them, the historian witnessed them. These achievements have been done in dark ness, and unknown to the world.

(From the Economist.) For the moment the money market is very easy. The payment of the dividends has released a considerable sum of money, and there is still a probability that the Bank rate will be lowered to 4 per cent. It is only a probability, for no one can predict the course of the money market to a half per cent. ; still perhaps it is the predominant proba bility. But there aro conspicuous signs which indicate that the panic of 1866 will not be followed by the period of low interest—by the rates of 2 per cont. and thereabouts which occurred after 1857 and 1847. The panic of 1866 occurred, not in the autumn, but in the spring. And in the autumn we usually have to pay for a large a—munt of foreign com modities. This year especially, we shall have to pay con siderable sums for corn and very considerable sums for cotton. The depression after the panics of 1847 and of 1857 fell in the spring, when no similar foreign payments had to be made, and when money accordingly tended to be cheaper; it Wks an accelerating force to a mar ket otherwise falling ; the depression of 1866 is a retarding force in a market otherwise rising. But the contrast between the panic of 1866 and its two predecessors is not one simply of date, but also of nature. It was a " credit" panic ; it affected bankers, finance: companies, who live by their credit, not mer chants and manufacturers. The malady fell not upon the users of capital. 1857, and still more in 1817, prices, were extensive mercantile failures, a great drop in and a diffused disorder in our industry. But now that credit, and this is almost the whole ma teonoy certain persons who used to have credit tter. have will not In consequence the trade demand f d or iB47.

The b us i ness of the country is of two sorts—first, the necessary common business fur l i mo s upply of our usual recognised wants; and secondly, the optional business—the business of enterprise by whi c h new channels of trade are struck out and desires gratified, the mere existence of which was before all but unknown. Both these kinds of business are necessary to keep the value of money at its common rate ; usually there are trade borrowers of both kinds. But a panic stops all optional business ; it puts a stop to all kinds of enterprise ; it re duces everything to a routine. For five months or so— from May till now—no man of business would look at any thing " new." In consequence, though the value of money will not in all likelihood be so low after this panic as after its two predecessor; it will be -far lower than it would have been had the commerce of the year run in its accus tomed course, and if no calamity had happened.

There Chap man, relv ere also present—Sir E. Perrott, Bart.,CaptainDeSt. Croix, W. H. Barton, E sq. , Colonel Palmer, Cap tain J. R. Ward, R.N., and Richard Lewis, Esq., the secretary of the institution. The SECRETARY having read the minutes of the previous meeting, a reward of £lO was granter' to the crew of the institution's lifeboat the Sir George Bowles, stationed at Howth, for putting off, during a strong gale of wind from the S.E. and a heavy sea, and rescuing the crew of seven men and a boy from the smack Favourite, of Peel, Isle of Man, which had gone ashore off Baldoyle, two or three miles from Howth, on the 17th ult. The master and crew of the smack had afterwards written a letter expressing their deep gratitude for the im portant services rendered to them, under Provi dence, by the lifeboat's crew just as they had aban doned all hope of being saved. A reward of £7lox. was likewise voted to the crew of the Civil Service lifeboat of the institution at Wexford, for going off during stormy weather to the barque Voluna, of Liverpool, which had gone ashore on the Long Bank. They found the vessel abandoned, but the lifeboat succeeded in saving a coastguard officer and four of of his men who had just boarded the wreck, and whose boat bad been lost while doing so. Rewards amounting to £2B were also voted to pay the ex penses of the lifeboats of the institution stationed at Appledore, Wexford, and Broughty Ferry (Dundee) for various services during the past month. The silver medal of the institution was voted to Mr. Bar tholomew Stephenson, of - Burdnier; Northumber land, in acknowledgment of his general gallant ser vices in the Boulmer Lifeboat, of which he had been the coxswain for many years past. The silver medal of the institution and £2 were also voted to Mr. Jones, master of the steam-tug Ely, and £8 to his crew, and the thanks of the institution to Mr. Nicol, tide sur veyor, in admiration of their noble and skilful con duct in saving nine men from the sloop Wool Packet, of Dartmouth, which during a gale of wind was wrecked on Bideford Bar a few weeks ago. It appears that the crew of the vessel had abandoned her, and that two boats' crews, consisting of nine men, after wards boarded the wreck with the view of trying to get her off the bar, but when the tide rose the sea broke over the vessel, and the men hoisted a flag of distress. The steamtug Ely now hastened to the rescue against a strong tide and wind. Before, however, she could get near the wreck the nine men were driven to seek refuge in the rigging. The sea was breaking fearfully in all directions, and the vessel rolling from side to side, but Captain Jones and his crew bravely proceeded through the broken water at the risk of their lives and vessel, and suc ceeded in the first attempt in saving three of the men. This was all that they could then accomplish, for the sea was now breaking so furiously over the wreck that the steamer was driven away, and the same want of success attended a second and a third . attempt to approach the wreck. The captain then backed astern, and with consummate skill and bold ness actually placed the steamer directly alongside the vessel's rigging, with her bows over the deck of the wreck, thus saving all the six men in the rig ging, and within the short space of two minutes the wreck had actually disappeared, and was not seen afterwards. But for this noble and successful ser vice nine widows (for the nine rescued men were all married) and forty fatherless children would to day be lamenting the loss of husbands and fathers. It may be added, that the National Lifeboat Insti tution, since its formation, has contributed to the saving of 15,700 lives from shipwreck, and who can tell the number of women and children, who, in the absence of these great and national services, would have become widows and orphans. The lifeboat of the institution stationed'at Appledore immediately put off on seeing the hovellers in the rigging of the Wool Packet., but before she could reach the wreck the steamer, which was in the neighbourhood, had performed the daring service. The expense to the institution of the lifeboat expedition was £lO 3s. Various other rewards were also voted to the crews of shore-boats for saving life from shipwreck on our coasts. During the past month a legacy of £5O bad been received by the institution through its New castle branch from the executors of the late Mrs. E. Neilson, of Newcastle. in the county of Down. Miss E. Goodman, of Eversholt, Bedfordshire, had senlottih also left the institution a l egac y o f £6OO to pay for a lifeboat, its equipment, an d t ransport i ng carriage.

A demonstration also took place at Burnham on the arrival of the new boat. The several railway companies kindly gave the boats a free conveyance to their destinations. The institution decided to place a new lifeboat at Portmadoc, in lieu of an older boat there at present, which was found unservice able. John Ashbury, Esq., of Openshaw, had, through the Manchester branch of the institution, undertaken to defray the cost of the new boat, and to name it after his late father. It was reported that the gas companies at Sunderland and at Teign mouth had kindly laid on pipes to the lifeboat houses of the institution in those towns, and had un dertaken to supply, free of charge, thegas for the use of the stations.

SHOCKING SUICIDE OF THE MANAGER OF A COTTON MlLL.—Yesterday Mr. Driffield, county coroner, held an inquest at As hton - in-lrackerfield, on Benjamin Grundy, late manager of a cotton mill in that township, who committed suicide last Sunday. A few mon , hs ago he gave up a good situation at Ashton-under-Lyne to take charge of a cotton mill belonging to Messrs. Gray, at Ash ton-in-Mackerfield, but the business did not prosper, and six weeks ago the mill, accidentally taking fire, was burnt to the ground.
