The Conservative Government suffered from it, and the repeal of the Habeas Corpus Act would not avail; and at all previous periods of danger the evil and its effects have been the same. To charge the present impunity of out rage upon the Government is unreasonable and unjust. The fact is deplorable, but it must not the less be unshrinkingly met, that there are scarcely any means of procuring testimony of Irish crimes; and it is upon this miserable assumption that the government of the province must be conducted. It is highly probable that the promise of a land bill has raised hopes which will be doomed to angry dikappointment. The present land bill is not, however, the first that has been mentioned, nor is any connection to be traced between och a pledge and agrarian outrages. And surely wise and needful legislation is not to be set aside because it gives riE to exaggerated expectations. Another riot took place in Paris on the occasion of M. ROCHEFORT'S arrest. It will be remembered that the celebrated pamphleteer was sentenced to six months' imprisonment for insulting the EMPEROR'S family, and inciting the people of Paris to revolt, just after the death of VICTOR Nowt. Sentences of imprisonment for seditious articles are not very rigidly enforced in France ; the culprit can go to gaol almost when he likes, and is by no means uncomfortable in his. com pulsory lodging. M. Ro c HEFORT, accordingly, remained at large until the period during which he could appeal against his sentence expired. On Mon day evening he was arrested at a public meeting. The mob immediately gave vent to its rage ; the commissary of police was maltreated ; one or two sergents de vile were hurt ; and an attempt to form barricades ended in discomfiture, and the arrest of about two hundred persons. The Paris correspondent of the Telegraph, whoso special mission is to inform us that everything invariably goes well in France, and that the Empire is doing nicely, whether as a despotism or a constitutional form of government, is careful to announce that the disturbance has been alight, and attended with no disagreeable consequences. Probably the two hundred prisoners will view the matter rather seriously i but it is clear that the riot wag easily overcome, and equally evi dent that scarcely any popular outbreak can with ;tend the forces at the command of the EMPEROR'S aovernment. Nevertheless. these repeated attempts A insurrection must be none the less disheartening. rho pitcher may go the well once too often. A ,•ity which has so often accomplished a revolu tion may possibly at some time find a chance 3f proving itself irresistible, though, as we have said, the danger is not great. But even if victorious, the Government must ever be on the alert, and all Its measures must be taken with due allowance for the implacable hostility of several hundred thousand persons. The lower )rders of Paris must be credited with some thing more than what the Telegraph's illustrious con tributor calls a " love of fun." These repeated attempts to raise an insurrection, at great Sanger to their projectors, testify to an Irreconcilable hatred of the present regime. Paris is to NAPOLEON 111. what Ireland is to us; it is both a peril and a disgrace. Nothing :an appease it, and the war between the two parties zan end only in the defeat of one. Pos sibly the Sovereign may persuade himself that order needs re-establishing, and that a rule of repression must begin. If he does not, things may last in their present shape until the close of his reign. And as that event may be near, and cannot be very far off; nothing can be more natural than that the order-loving people of France and of Europe generally should be profoundly apprehensive of the results. THE NATIONAL EDUCATION LEAGUE, A numerous and highly influential deputation from the National Education League, among whom were Sir Charles lke, M.P., the Chamberlain of London and many other gentlemen of consideration, waited on Wednesday upon the Lord Mayor to ask him to afford them the use of the Egyp tian Hall in order to a public meeting of the citizens in re ference to the subject of a national education,and to preside over it. The deputation was introduced by Sir Charles Dilke, who took occasion to state the general objects of the League. He said the subscriptions which were begun in April last, amounted to nearly £54,000, and the enrolled members now were about 10,000. There were sixty branches in the kingdom, and the enrolled members included about fifty members of Parliament. In the metropolis alone there were already 1,000 enrolled members and fourteen recognised branches. The Lord Mayor, amid cheers, said he would grant the use of the Guildhall for the purpose of holding a public meeting on the general subject of education, and would preside at it himself : but ho intimated in effect that he by no means gave in his adhesion to all the principles of the League. After hearing witnesses, who gave the accused excellent characters, Mr. Tyrwhitt said he thought it as well, for the sake of the accused themselves, that their wit nesses should be heard. He did not believe there was any intention on their part to steal the dog, and they would be discharged. ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. The annual general meeting of the members of this society was held on Tuesday, at the Council Room, South Kensington—Mr. James Bateman, F.R.S., in the chair. The report of the council, read by Mr. Richards, the assistant secretary, stated that for some years past the council had seen the necessity of changing their experimental garden from Chiswick to some locality better suited for their of erations ; as the results of the cultivation there, owing to its low, cold, damp position, combined with the gradual in crease of smoke and houses mound it, were yearly becoming less satisfactory, whilst the expenditure entailed by the establishment was constantly in creased. Moreover, the termination of the lease would of itself necessitate a change in a few years. A garden conveniently situated in pure air, and with good soil, would enable the council to carry out their horticultural operations with increased efficiency, and at reduced cost. An obstacle which would have hampered them in carry ing out this change,—viz., the expense of estab lishing a new garden, had been, as they believed, opportunely removed by a valuable bequest to the society by their late fellow, Mr. Alfred Davis, which would enable the council to effect this im provement, and at the same time preserve the memory of the bequest, and of Mr. Davis's inte rest in the society in a permanent shape. The success of the fortnightly fruit and floral meet ings, hitherto held on Tuesday, but latterly on Wednesday, had been so marked, and the attend ance so numerous, that the council had thought it best to combine the general exhibition with them. This arrangement would have the effect of adding to the number of exhibitions specially at tractive to the fellows and the general public. The council referred with great satisfaction to the working of the fruit and floral committee and the scientific committee. A collection of insects injurious to vegetation was being formed in the South Kensington Museum, towards the com pletion of which contributions were solicited. A new orchid house had been erected for the recep tion of a fine collection of cool orchids, presented to the society by Mr. Bateman. The financial statement showed that the receipts, including £7,193 10s. Bd. in annual subscriptions, and £1,230 ls. 6d., proceeds of exhibitions and fetes, amounted to £10,774 16s. Bd., and the expenditure to £12,106 15s. 7d. The CHAIRMAN having briefly referred to the principal points iu the report, congratulated the fellows upon- the progress which the society had made. The debate on the Address is usually of no great moment, unless a "No confidence" vote be threatened. But on Tuesday a great question, suffi ciently important to sustain attention without the ex citement of a party fight, came under discussion. It must be confessed, however, that the most note worthy feature of the debate on the state of Ireland, was the inordinate amount of laughter which Lord CAIRNS and Mr. DISRAELI contrived to raise. No doubt both Houses like to be jocular, and as their jokers are few, they may natu rally be tempted to perform on every available oppor tunity. But most people out of Parliament will agree that the suspension of law in Ireland is a national plague and humiliation of no laughable type.

The report was ultimately adopted, and after the election of officers and of three members to serve on the council, the proceedings terminated with a vote of thz,nks to the chairman. THE ROCHEFORT RIOTS IN FRANCE. Rochefort was arrested whilst at a public meeting in Paris on Monday evening. He had attended the sitting of the Corps Legislatif but was allowed to depart unmolested. He then went to the meeting in the Rue de Flandres, where from 3,000 to 5,000 persons were assembled, anxiously waiting for him. He was captured immediately on alighting from his cab at the door. A young man rushed in and told the crowd of the event. The resulting scene is thus described by the correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette: —"An exciting scene ensued in the hall; the violent Flourens drew a pistol from Mit pocket, a sword no one knew where from, and announced him self in a state of revolution. His first act of authority was to seize on the unfortunate com missary of polibe. About 300 persons imitated the example of their leader, and revolvers and cutlasses were brandished by an infuriated mob, who soon found the hall too small for their enthusiasm, and rushed into the street, where Flourens solemnly fired a pistol shot in the air, and declared Paris in a state of insurrection. The rioters were allowed to march away in the direction of Belville without any interference from the police, who, after the seizure of M. Rochefort, left the field to the revolution, and it was then that Flourens and his band were able to carry along with them their prisoner. The Marseil laise' was sung, and there were cries of Vive Roche fort Mort aux assassins! Vivo la Republique !' and some pistols were fired in the air in the hope that the noise and the smell of gunpowder would encourage this undisciplined group to deeds of arms. About the time that this band was on its march some men and boys appear to have commenced a barricade at Belleville by seizing an empty omnibus; the horses were taken out, the vehicle upset, and the structure was strengthened with a couple of fiacres. All the shops in the neighbourhood had long been shut, ard but few cautious citizens peered into the street. The barricade had not been long in existence when it was discovered by a detachment of police; the commissary advanced and carefully recon noitred the obstacle, which, after a short inspection, was stormed, sword in hand, without loss of life the enemy having abandoned their work on the appear ance of the executive. The band which had thrown up the barricade seems eventually to have fallen in with the Flourens lot; there was evidently not much soli darity amongst the rioters, and one of them, inspired by the awkwardness of the position, exclaimed, " Atany street corner we may come upon the men of Napoleon. Are you decided to fall for the cause ?' Rather to the disappoint ment of this hero, who had caught a glimpse of a safe road home to the bosom of his family, there was but one reply "We swear it," and there were cheers given for the men of the first revolution. The band now approached the Faubourg du Temple, and immediately the good citizens of the quarter ran up their shutters. At the infantry bar racks the windows were swarming with soldiers, and there were cries in favour of the army and fraterniza tion. Here a couple of omnibuses were stopped, and the passengers were asked, with the politeness of a Claude Duval, to alight ; they did so, and the coachmen unwrapped themselves and descended, without much re crimination, from their boxes; the horses were unhar nessed, and instead of being converted into cavalry, were handed over to the coachmen, and then the sovereign people toppled the vehicles over, and they barred the breadth of the Faubourg—the front of a butcher's shop was added to the obstruction. This barricade, like the one at Belleville, was carried by the police without any op position, and the dismantled omnibuses were dragged into the Prince Eugene barracks. In the Rue do Paris, at Belleville, another barricade was thrown up, and was formed of the usual materials—omnibuses, cabs, and trees which lied been torn up, and here the insurgents had put the lights out, and this unfortunate move prevented them from seeing the approach of the police, backed by a strong force of the civic guard. Here there vi as a short struggle, owing to the want of:light, and an officer of the peace recived a bayonet wound which, to judge from what M. 011ivier said in the Chamber this evening, has terminated fatally. A seryent de tale was also shot through and carried to the rear. The barricade, however, did not hold good; several of its gallant defenders fled, not before the Chassepot, but before the swords of the police, and the insurgents, on the invitation of the small boy of the occasion, started off for the depot in search of more omnibuses, Nowhere was there any serious fighting ; nowhere did the insurgents have a moment's success except when they managed to break into a gunshop and plunder some rifles and revolvers. Even Flourens, a man of undoubted courage, could not inspire his rabble to stand up against the tricornes and redeem the affair from ridicule by bringing out Can robert and his corps d'armee to give the affair at least the lustre of a tragedy or a hecatomb. The chieftain who was to perish for liberty vanished in the darkness, and took the direction of the Bastile, but he is said to have fallen into the hands of the police this morning, and he will have a sharp reckoning to pay for thus troubling Paris, and indeed France." POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. IsIARLBOROUGLI-STREET. A CLERGYMAN CHARGED WITH ASSAULTING A CABMAN. —Mr. Jones Ellis, describing himself as a clergymin, staying at the Tavistock Hotel, Covent garden, was charged before Mr. Knox, with as saulting Richard James Hayward, a cab-driver, badge 7,850, he being drunk when charged. The complainant said that on the previous after noon the defendant, who had a lady with him, hailed him while driving a hansom cab, and after keeping him for two minutes the lady said she did not want him. Ile then asked to be remunerated, and they proceeded up Cranbourne-street, and then gave him a nod to follow them, and he did so, and they went into a picture shop. After waiting some minutes for them they came out of the shop, and the defendant said to the lady, "Now, my dear, I must wish you good bye, and the train will take you to Paddington." They then walked on ald called another cab, and got in, and on his telling the cabman how ho had been served, he refused to let them into his cab. LTe again asked to be settled with, and they refused to do so and walked away, and the defendant then came back and lifted up his stick as if going to strike him, and his face, in trying to avoid the stick, got struck with it. Police-constable Harding, 7 C R, gave similar evidence, and said that the cabman, in trying to avoid the stick, caught it on his face, which was matched ; and that the defendant was drunk at the time. The defendant said that the injury to the cab man's face was caused by the lady scratching it. He was not drunk, and only took water, as even a glass of sherry would make him drunk. Mr. Knox said that had the woman under the circumstances caused the injury to the cabman's face, he would not, had he been the defendant, said so. The defendant would have to pay a fine of £2, and give the cabman 10s., and he would ad vise him, as he was from the country, to at once go back again, to save himself from getting into further trouble. The defendant said he intended to go back im mediately. CHARGE OF DOG STEALING.—IsraeI Brittam, greengrocer, of Richmond-street, Rupert-street, and John Sussex, a lad in his employ, charged with stealing a dog, the property of Mr. Miller, baker, of Crown-court, Pall-mall, were brought up. Mr. Lewis appeared for the defence. On the accused being placed at the bar, Pickles, detective officer, said there was no further evidence against them. Mr. Lewis said a number of persons were in attendance to give the accused good characters. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he did not wonder at the charge being made, but at the same time he would be glad to hear witnesses to character. THE LATE EDITION of "THE SUN " at J.

The first day's proceedings in Parliament aro always highly interesting, after the address-debate has been wound up, and the various "organs " of the Government and the Opposition, have ground out their wonted tunes. A full programme of the year's work is furnished. Though we di. not learn how many measures will past into law, we are informed as to the attempts which will be made, and when the great bills of the session may be looked for. This year the Government is well forward with its extensive scheme. In the first place, it is gratifying to know that our troublesome friend, JEREMIAH, will be disposed of with the minimum of trouble. All the gloomy anticipations touching the necessity of permitting the convict M.P. for Tipperary to " take his seat," and the long debate there would be as to his rights and privileges, have proved, as it was obvious they would prove, en tirely groundless. The Fenian has no seat. As a felon he is incompetent to legislate; the election is just a' if it had never been, and will be held again. The insult and the grave disorganisation of society, to which this Tipperary contest testified, must be accepted as unfortunate facts ; but it is not within the privileges of any constituency to transfer a convict from gaol to the British Legislature. The Land Bill will be introduced next Tuesday. the Education measure on Thursday, and within the next seven days will come some of the minor ele ments in the programme—the Merchant Shipping Bill, the Coinage Bill, and that long-looked for measure respecting the War Office, though after recent disappointments it will be well not to indulge in any congratulations upon this last proposal until its nature be divulged. After the Ministerial notices come a host of private members' projects and hobbies. Alas ! no one enter tains the least doubt respecting the fate of these fond hopes. Private members' bills are seldom successful, and this year their chance will probably be smaller than usual, for the great pressure of Government omnibuses will undoubtedly drive the lesser vehicles out of the way. Still these notices are instructive, as throwing light on the temper of the country. The bills for the amendment of the game laws, the repeal of the minority clause, the ballot, the removal of clergy disabilities, and the prevention of the sale of presentations to livings, and the resolutions for the disestablishment of the Church in Wales, all go to shew the drift of public opinion. The proposition, too, for the payment of Parlia mentary representatives, though it was received with "much laughter," is full of meaning. The members of the " rich man's club " want no remuneration, and will not hastily sanction any. But the working men who are seeking admission to the House of Commons hold different views, and if the notion of artisan M.P.'s gains any wide acceptance, the revival of the "ancient constitutional practice" will become one of the most clamorous demands of the newly-enfranchised. Once grant cheap elections and the payment of members, and the constitution of the Lower House may undergo a very material change. Whether it will be improved or not is Another question. 9 6 4 6 2 3 4 6 HER MAJESTY. OSBORNE, Feb. 9. Her Majesty, accompanied by her Royal High ness Princess Beatrice, went out this morning.

This morning Captain Shaw reported to the Board of Works nine fires, in addition to the ex tensive one at Stone's-end, Borough, as having occurred in the metropolitan district. One of these happened on Liddiard's wharf shed, Thames, and at one time threatened the most disastrous results. It commenced in the upper floors, used as malt stores, belonging to Messes. Courage and Co., the brewers, and a number of wharfingers. In the course of a few minutes the three malt stores were well alight and the flames were attacking the roof, threatening destruction to the brewery adjoining. The flames could not be extinguished until the malt stores were for the greater part destroyed and some damage done to the roof of the adjoining brewery. The firm was insured in the Phcenix and Guardian Fire-offices. A very serious fire broke out in the immense premises belonging to Metsrs. J. and J. Blott, manufacturing chemists, in Broomfield - street, Poplar. It was caused by the vapour of a quan tity of oil coming in quantity with the furnace, and owing to the inflammable nature of the contents the boiler-house, which was 60 feet long and 30 feet wile, the whole of the building became one body of fl-ime. The flames were eventually extinguishe but not until about two-thirds of the roof was burned off. The firm was uninsured. A very destructive fire, and attondel with a great loss of property, broke out in the extensive whole sale and retail clothing establishment belonging to Mr. C. Wolf, No. 67, Cambridge-road, Mile-end. The flames commenced, from some unknown cause, in the front shop, and they rapidly extended up the stairs to various other apartments, rendering it a matter of great difficulty for the inmates to escape. They were, however, all rescued, but nearly suffo cated by the heated smoke. A fire likewise occurred in the cooperage of Mr. Clark, a brewer, in Little Sutton-street, Goswell road. The flames were confined to the destruction of a quantity of stables in the cooperage, the brew house sustaining no damage. LAW INTELLIGENCE—Chis Day). COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. This morning Mr. Knight made an application on behalf of a discharged insolvent, who was for merly a diaryman near Be'grave-square, for an order that the provisional assignee should relin quish his claim to the residue of a sum of £215 (after payment of costs), to which the insolvent's wife had become entitled under the will of her father. All the debts except one had been paid off ; and the insolvent, with the consent of his wife, now wished to have repaid the balance of the legacy, about £lBO. The Chief Judge thought the case ought to have come before the Court of Chancery, but con sented to make the order after the wife had been examined as to her concurrence in the application. SHERIFFS' COURT. To-day an action, Gleaves v. the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway, came before Mr. Under Sheriff Burchell and a jury, to assess the anionnt of compensation to be given to the plaintiff, Eliza Gleaves, for injuries received at the Victoria Station. The damages were laid at Y. 1,004, but a verdict of £75 wa3 consented to. STATE OF PUBLIC IIEALTIL-1110 rate of mor tality in Loudon and nineteen other largo towns of the United Kingdom was last week 31 per 1,000. The lowest death-rate, 17, prevailed in Portsmouth ; and the highest, -4-5 in Norwich. In the metropolis, 2,378 births and 1,828 deaths were registered. The latter exceeded by 148 the estimated number, and were more by .215 than those of the previous week. The deaths from zymotic diseases were 427, the corrected average number being 352. Elevai persons died from smallpox, 28 from measles, 107 from scarlet fever, 5 from diphthe,ia, 79 from whooping cough, 14 from typhus fever, 9 from entertic (or typhoid) fever, 12 from simple continued fever, and 17 from diarrhcea. The deaths from fever were lower than in many previous weeks and the mortality from scarlet fever exhibits a decrease. There were five deaths from privation, and three from street accidents. The mean temperature during the week was 42 degrees, or 41 above the average. WESTMINSTER. STEALING GOVERNMENT BOOTS.—Two men named Quelch and Lee were charged with stealing a pair of boots served out to some pensioner unknown at Chelsea Hospital. Mr. Isaac Dyas, a wardrobe dealer, said that Quelch came in last night and offered a pair of boots for sale. He refused to buy them, and sent for the police, during which time one of the boots was disposed off by Lee. Colour-sergeant Seymour, R A, proved that the boots belonged to the Commissioners, and were issued last October. They would be in use till October next, after which they would become the property of the man to whom they were served out, and ho could dispose of them. Quelch said Lee gave them to him to sell, and Lee said a pensioner had lent them to him, as he had pawned his own. Mr. Arnold remanded the prisoners till Tuesday, directing inquiries to be made as to who the boots belonged to. He let Quelch go on his own recog nisance. THAMES. IMPUDENT ROBBERY.—EIiza. Smith, aged 26 years, was brought before Lushington, charged with stealing nine yards of cotton, value 4s. 6d., from the shop of a linendraper, No. 3, Cannon street-road. Thomas Walsh, a draper's assistant, said the pri soner came into his employer's shop and asked him if he would entrust her with a tally-bill ; that meant to supply her on credit with goods to be paid for by instalments. He said his principal was not a tallyman, and the place was not a tallyshop. The prisoner said better houses in the trade were tally-shops, and as respect able men, such as Mr. Michael Magnus, were tally men. He told her he had nothing to do with tally bills or giving credit on the tally system, and she left the shop, taking with her aS she did so a piece of cotton print containing nine yards, and valued at 4s. 6d. Alfred Woodcock, a police-constable, No. 60 11, saw the prisoner running away, and pursued her. He overtook and arrested her. She was extremely violent, threw herself on the ground, and made a determined resistance. Prisoner—lt is my first offence. Mr. Lushington ordered inquiries to be made about the prisoner, and remanded her for a week. ASS AULT ON A SURGEON BY A PAUPER.—Charles Chambers, a pauper of the City of London Union in the Bow-road, was charged with assaulting Mr. Charles Buncombe, surgeon and medical officer of the union. The prisoner is verging on blindness, and although well treated and increased in size and strength since he entered the union -house, he has shown a refractory spirit. Yesterday Mr. Bun combe was going over the building, and the prisoner asked what the dietary sc.& was, to which Dr. Buncombe answered sour on Wednesday. The pri soner said he was not going to stop iu the house to be murdered, and Mr. Buncombe told the nurse to stop his beer, on which the prisoner struck the sur geon on the head, and knocked his hat off. Mr. Lushington did not think the prisoner had any real ground of complaint, and sentenced him to 21 days' imprisonment and hard labour, for the purpose of showing him that he must pay respect to the officers of the union, and not raise hands to them. PRESENT MIGRATION OF RACES IN 711 E UNIIED STATES. Last week we noticed the extraordinary migra tion now in progress among the black and white races in the Southern States ; movements which have falsified predictions. Yet, they are not only natural, but, when the circumstances are studied, it appears strange that they should not have been fore seen. Man's laws sometimes interfere with Nature's laws, and when they do, the result is pernicious. There could not be a free flow of population in the Southern States while Slavery prevailed, and the inhabitants were likely to be artificially placed. Large estate-owners, with numerous retinues of slaves, kept the negroes on their land, to which they were confined, son succeeding father. The prediction was, that on the shackles being removed the migration of the blacks would be northward, to jostle the white labourers, to interfere with emi gration, and to leave the far South to become a desert. The attraction was supposed to be Northward on account of its greater wealth, higher wages, and the dread the emancipated slaves would entertain of the master from whom they had been filched. It was asserted, too, that they would cease to work and take to begging and stealing. The current of migration is, however, the other way—from Mary land and Virginia, from the Carolinas and Ken tucky the blacks are passing by thousands, into Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida, and Texas ; and, as time progresses, so does this migration, and daily it becomes clearer that soon the natural order will prevail ; that the negro will occupy the rich, low, and (to the white), unhealthy portions of the Mississippi Valley towards the month of the river, the low coast lands of Texas, Alabama, and Georgia, where their labour can be most profitably employed to theinselves and to the country. Where they congregate, to a certain extent, they must rule —led, as they will assuredly be, by the few whites in whom they have confidence. Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas must flourish from the impulse given to the industry of these States through this influx of suitable labour, for suitable it has proved, both under slavery and freedom. The negro now is said to be the best field hand for such lands, producing more cotton and sugar than any other gang of equal num ber. As cotton and sugar have paid handsomely for the last two years, both will be cultivated to au increased extent, and we may anticipate great pros perity for the States washed by the Gulf of Mexico. But this does not represent the whole movement. The poor whites are as much unsettled as the negroes. Formerly they picked up a living in an indolent, reckless way by shooting and fishing—their hunt being sometimes after a fugitive slave, and by occa sionally undertaking some light work, while hang ing listlessly around the large plantations. Feeling 'compelled to labour they choose other than their old fields, because in such localities they feel the degra dation—that false pride of an aristocratic race in which they have been nurtured—and also that other climates are better suited for their labour. Thus Kentucky and Tennessee, Virginia and the Carolinas, are losing whites as well as blacks, the former seeking homes in Missouri, Kansas, Arkan sas, and Texas. Thus, too, the separation is becoming marked, and Nature is forcing each race to the place best suited for it. Here is a simple solution of an im portant as well as intricate problem; one which for generations has puzzled the great Republic. But a third class remains to be considered, upon whose fortunes the migration is exercising an unpleasant influence. The old estate-owners of Virginia and the Carolinas are dismayed at losing not only their black but their white fellow-citizens in such num bers, as threatens to leave them, in the Census to be taken this year, a population diminished from 1860. Our belief is that another tide will soon begin to flow which will recuperate the landlords, if they tenaciously hold on. To Europeans, the prospect of settling in the vacant places of the Atlantic States w:11 be attractive. Virginia offers great in ducements to a certain class of emigrants, being an old, indeed the oldest, settled State, surrounded by a high civilisation. We long ago speculated on some such movements, and we feel confident that eventu ally the benefit will be great, both to individuals and to the nation. If immigration flows freely into these Atlantic Statesfrom Europe, and the present migra tory movement continues, a great change will be wrought in political feeling and Southern ssnti ment, and we can well understand that when those now born rise to manhood that they will be unable to comprehend the state of society existing in the South prior to the great civil war.—Anglo-American 7 imps. CONVOCATION AND — BISHOP TEMPLE. Both Houses of Convocation discussed the Bishop of Exeter's election on Wednesday. In the Upper Houge, the Bishop of Ely having presented a petition on the subject, the Bishop of Lincoln moved that " a joint com mittee of both Houses be appointed to examine and report upon. the laws of the ancient Church universal, and 0,15' 1 the laws of the Church of England, concerning the election, confirmation, and consecration of bishops, and that t he committee be instructed to offer such remarks, and recom mendations thereupon as it may deem requisite." WI lordship said he made the motion because there was doubt, on the subject whether the bishop had any voice in epis copal elections. It was now said that all protests to be effectual ought to be made before confirmation. He had made a protest with regard to the election of pr . Temple, and it was in connection with that point, without wishing to give pain to anyone, that M c rose. He had had the honour of consulting the Bishop o, London on his protest, and it was sent,for special reasons, to the Bishop of Oxford, now the Bishop of Winchester , on account of the part he took in the ever-memorabl o occasion of the proceedings in connection with " Essay's and Reviews" in 1864. The protest was sent for like reasons to the Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol, Ist" seconded the motion, and also to the Bishops of Norwich, Rochester, Peterborough, and other prelates, and ho believed also to the Bishop of Ely himself. The Bishop of Ely would remember that at that happy meeting which was held at the Bishop of Rochester's Palaco at Danbury, it was urged that their protests or e:cpres" sions of dissent ought not to be presented before the time of confirmation, because it was thought that before that time the archbishop of the province would not be in a position to give any attention to them. The right rev. prelate entered at great length into details connected with the early history as given by ecclesiastica l writers of election, confirmation, and consecration of bishops in the ancient Church and down to the Reforma tion. He said he was very anxious that his remarks should not apply to the Bishop of Exeter (who, it may be remarked, was sitting by his side), for whom he expressed an anxious hope that he might well perform his duties in the diocese over which he had been appointed to preside The Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol seconded the :notion. He had not protested against the Bishop of Exeter's ap pointment. What he had done was simply to express his opinion against the electios. He was merely a non-content. —The Bishop of Llandaff expressed his doubt in the validity of the protests.—The Bishop of Ely said he had been charged, as being a consenting bishop to the con secration of Dr. Temple, with aiming at the PrimacY. He could not die in peace after behaving in such a manner. As to the point under discussion he ad hered to the opinion that if any protest were necessary it should have been made at an earlier date than it was made, for it ought always to be borne in mind that there must be a material difference between canons of doctrine and canons of discipline. Canons of doctrine were always to be obeyed, but canons of discipline, even though passed by CEcunienical Councils, had frequently, though not repealed,' fallen into desuetude, and ceased to have any effect.-The Bishop of Oxford having been a member of the Exeter Chapter, denied that the pains of pramunire had the slightest right in deciding the election of the bishop.—The Bishop of Lichfield agreed with the motion. He felt constrained to say, in sorrowful earnest ness, to his right rev. brother, the Bishop of Exeter, that the work " Essays and Reviews" had made it difficult for scattered pastors in distant lands to pursue their work, and had carried the seeds of infidelity to the furthest corners of the earth. It was that circum stance which had induced him to protest against the con secration of Dr. Temple. At the same time, he trusted that the right rev. prelate's work and words would bear testimony in the future to his doctrine.—The Bishop of Hereford expressed his entire concurrence with the reso lution before the House.—The Bishop of St. David's did not think the motion would do any good. He did not think appointments should rest with deans and chapters; nor would he have the Crown influenced in its choice by' the opinions of the Episcopal Bench.—The Bishop of London said he had been likened to Judas Iscariot, Pilate, and Macbeth, for consecrating Dr. Temple ; and lie and the Bishop of St. David had been called Annanias and Sapphira; but which was Annanias, and which Sapphira, was not stated. He would only say that if he had refused to consecrate the Bishop of Exeter under the Archbishop of Canterbury's Commission, he should have committed the Archbishop to an act of disobedience, and have com mitted the Church and State to a contest which must have been fought out with most disastrous results.-- The Bishop of Exeter then rose and said: " I did not rise to say anything on the motion, because I thought upon the whole that it would be better if I did not express any opinion about it, as I any so young a member of this House. But I wish to take this opportunity, before your lordship puts the ques tion, of expressing my deep sense of -gratitude for all the kindness which my brethren have extended towards me. It will, of course, be my duty by the whole course of my life as far as God gives me strength and light, to justify, by the work I may be able to do in Exeter, my appoint ment there. I have in the past taken no step without the most serious and careful deliberation, and, although it must, of course, weigh very heavily on any man's mind that there should be so many of his brethren who do not agree with the decision at Which ho has arrived as to the course proper for him to take, yet I know that any one who has so conducted himself would at any rate feel that the opinion of others could be, after all, no more than one element of consideration of the grounds of his conduct and that he must hold himself responsible to God for the decision to which his conscience brings him, and cannot plead that other people thought differently for doing that which he himself does not think to be right. I have done my very best to do what appears to be right to do under the circumstances, and I hope I shall be able to still continue to do my best. I feel confident that as I have been received with great kindness, the future course of my life and action will be to show my brethren that that kindness will not be thrown away; that I am really desirous of promoting the service of our Lord; tbat,l }save really that one hope in all that I am doing ; and that if unfortunately I cannot take tee same views as others at every point, it is not that I desire not to do so, fob• I do .desire it. At all events, the reroem branee of the kindness I have received will be with me as long as I live, and I am sure that those who have shown me that kindness will recognise, as time goes on, how deeply I felt it." The motion was then put and carried. In the Lower House Archdeacon Denison moved, and Dr. Jebb seconded a protest against Dr. Temple's appoint ment. The motion was not allowed to be discussed. Further on in the proceedings Archdeacon Freeman made a very important announcement indeed. He said that without having been authorized to make a formal announcement to the House, ha had received permission from his diocesan to make any use of the information he pleased ; and lie had therefore to state that Dr. Temple's essay would not appear in any future edition of the " Essays and Reviews," if, indeed, another edition should ever be called for.—The Dean of Exeter also read a letter from Canon Cook, stating, on the best authority, that so far from Dr. Temple's essay having been written as an introduction to volume, the editor (Mr. Parker) bad observed to a frieuu, after the greater portion of the book was printed, that he had just received an essay from Dr. Temple, which he thought would do very well for the opening paper.—Archdeacon Denison said that after this announcement, and after the appointment of the committee by the Upper House, he would surcease from his opposition, and he accordingly withdrew his gravamen.—Dr. Jebb, however, was not at all satisfied. The concession of Dr. Temple had come too late, and the gravamen ought to be presented.— Canon Blakesley was much pleased to see the spirit in which the announcement of the venerable archdeacon had been received; but he must remind his reverend brethren that, after all, it went no further than the prefatory notice which had appeared in all the editions of the book. Those, therefore, who were now satisfied were convicted of inconsistency.—Dr. Jebb again attempted to address the House, but he was, not without some difficulty, suppressed by the Prolocutor, and the session terminated, as usual, with the Latin benediction. LATEST ELECTIONEERING NEWS. At Tipperary the clerical party are working to secure the return of Mr. Heron, Q.C. It is re ported that O'Donovan Rossa will again be nomi nated, and that if the sheriff should refuse the no mination, Mr. John Martin, or some other member of the advanced National party, will be brought forward. In Southwark both the Liberal can didates are holding meetings nightly in view of the election which will take place in a few days. At Nottingham several gentlemen are named as candidates for the borough on Colonel Wright's resignation. The most likely candidate for the Liberals is Mr. T. W. Evans, of Derby. Mr. Digby Seymour may again offer himself as the independent candidate. At Londonderry the re-election of Mr. Sergeant Dowse, who has just been appointed Solicitor-General for Ireland, will be opposed by Mr. Baxter, the senior part ner in the eminent legal firm of Baxter, Rose, and Norton. He is energetically canvassing the borough. At Waterford there were two Liberal candidates, and a third of the Repeal type, but one of the former has withdrawn, and it is stated that Mr. James Esmonde, brother to the county mem ber, will be brought forward. Mr. Bernal Os borne is prosecuting his canvass with energy. A meeting of the Waterford Conservatives is to be held to-day, with a view to the selection of a can didate. Last night Sir John Ennis, who was for-. m;•rly the Liberal member for Athlone, addressed the electors of Waterford. THE NEW RAILWAY BILLS. The House of Commons Examiners concluded this morning. The East and West Metropolitan Junction and Mansion House Railway Bill has been withdrawn ; also the Dublin (City) and Su burban Tramways and Railways Bill. The stand lu2 orders will be reported to have been complied with in the Navan and Kingscourt Railway Bill, the Arch-street (late Thomas-street) ; St. Mary, Newington, Surrey, Enclosure; Bude and Torring ton Junction Railway, and the Halesowen and Bromsgrove Branch Railway.
