Dilke mid Sir H. Hoare, rendered their annual account to their constituents on Monday evening. The former made a rather important semi-official state ment. There was every reason to believe r he affirmed, that a measure was being prepared to remove the exemption of Government property from rating,. The bulk of Sir Wentworth s speech was devoted to the education question, which the baronet . regards from an uncompromising League point of view. So thorough a Leaguer is he, indeed, that he regrets the draft bill drawn up by the Executive Committee makes any allusion to the reading of the Bible in schools, for the opposite party are sure to seize upon this admission as a compromise ; and the member for Chelsea objects to anything of the kind. Sir Wentworth. combated the argument that the plan of the Education League would greatly increase local taxation. The rates, he believed, would be ulti mately 'decreased by the diminution of pauperism and crime consequent on the spread of education; and, moreover, he maintained that the incidence of local rates required readjustment. Sir Henry Hoare expressed his confidence that the people would have the Ballot by the end of 1871, if not during the coming session. With regard to the land question, he believed that no one measure could do all that was needed. Mr. Bright's scheme for enabling honest tenants to purchase the land of their landlord where he was willing to sell it, by means of Government loans, repayable in thirty years, would establish a loyal peasant proprietary without violating the rights of property. But that scheme by itself would not meet the case. It would be advisable to encourage the granting of leases by lending money for improve ments to those landlords who gave them, and he would establish local tribunals for deciding on cases of arbitrary or capricious eviction and raising of rents. As to tenant-right, he would legalise and define it where it existed; but he would not intro duce it where it did not prevail. "lIISTORICUS " AMONG HIS CONSTITUENTS. Mr. Vernon Harcourt, M.P., has been discoursing to his constituents at Oxford. On the land question he declared that England must not force its principles on Ireland, and that the tenant's right to his improvements should be vindicated. There should, however (he added) be no truckling to the Fenians. On education, Mr. Harcourt thought that sectarian feeling should no longer be tolerated. As to the expense of an extended system, " if this coun try was so poor that it could not afford to have an educated population, it was not rich enough to have an uneducated people." He was' glad the Government were about to undertake the• responsibility of the University Tests Bill ; and was sure it would not set up a Roman Catholic University in Ireland. Legislation would be wanted next session for the agricultural labourer, and. on waste lands. The latter ought, he thought, to be preserved to the people. SCOTCII EDUCATION. The Lord Advocate for Scotland is by no means so very advanced in the matter of education as the enthusiastic supporters of the League would lead us to suppose a member of the Government must be. Mr. Young does not hold even the necessity for compulsion; and he is by no means in a hurry about legislation. A deputation from the Edinburgh Town Council waited upon his lordship, on Monday, to sug g est that the new bill—which the deputation seem to have presumed would be introduced next session—should be based on the principles of compulsory attendance with a national rate ; and that no religious teaching should be allowed, except the reading of the Bible. The Lord Advocate in reply stated (1.) That he was not sure a bill would be introduced. (2.) That whatever was done another failure must be avoided if possible. (3.) That he did not see a way to the application of the compul sory principle ; and (4.) That it would be better to bring in a bill for the towns first. This reply will be not merely a check to extreme men, but a heavy damper to the hopes of the more moderate. C 0-OPER ATION. Mr. Dixon, M.P. for Birmingham, addressed the annual meeting of the Ladywood Co-operative Society on Monday evening. In dealing with the great question which naturally presented itself on such an occasion, Mr. Dixon observed that one of the great obstacles in the way of making co-operative stores successful was the difficulty of getting really good managers. They must place their reliance upon special education in order to promote the needful ma terial. As to the shareholders generally, all the advan tages of co-operation were involved in self-denial ; that is, the making at the present time small sacrifices for the sake of a future greater good. That, said Mr. Dixon, was the most difficult thing in the world to do, and nobody who had not tried it knew how difficult it was. There had been no great. fortune made by any capitalist that had not been made on that basis. " Working men little knew the amount of sacrifice of shopkeepers or manufacturers who are making fortunes—the daily sacrifices they are making—sacrifices of much that was dear to them, often their health, and not unfrequently the best interests of their families." Mr. Dixon here un doubtedly enforced a strong moral lesson. The suc cess of the middle-class is entirely owing to this self denial; and the weakness of the artisan ranks is, there is no denying it, largely owing to the lack of this quality. THE PRIMATE. We are sorry to hear that the Archbishop of Canterbury is again ill. His recovery has been checked by taking work upon him too early. The Record says he had to sign his name to a number of papers ; but whatever was the actual work done his Grace found it too much for him. The exertion was followed by a slight relapse. This news very discouraging, for it shows what danger the Church is in of losing one of the most earnest, faith ful, and liberal-minded primates she has had. TOLLS AND DISSENTING ➢IINISTERS. The Cornwall magistrates, after several delibera tions at Truro, have decided that Dissenting ministers are not liable to pay toll on week days when going to officiate according to regular appointment. This verdict has been given only after careful considera tion, and after divers authorities have been con sulted. Hitherto the Dissenting ministers have paid the toll. THE SOLDIER'S KNAPSACK. The soldier's knapsack is still a point of discussion. True, the committee has reported and given its decision in favour of the bag or valise as the - best and most comfortable means of carrying baggage ; but the authorities are still in doubt. Other inventors yet hope that their own plans will be adopted. The Pall Mall Gazette tells us that this indecision arises from an anxiety on th© part of those with whom the matter rests "to hear all that can be said upon the subject before coming to any decision." It is owing to this (adds our contemporary) that Colonel Carter, an energetic inventor, has been exhibiting his knap sack to Lord Napier of Magdala and other distinguished officers, in the hope that it may receive its proper amount of consideration; but a general opinion has been expressed among soldiers that the stiff box which forms the knapsack should give way to the easy shapeless bag which accommodates itself to the form of a man's body. The valise, it seems, has been warmly approved by most of the regiments who have tried it, except the Highland corps, who find it unsuitable to their very peculiar loose dress. REVIVAL IN ST. PANCRAS. It is pleasant to learn that the St. Pancras Guardians, alter a fortnight's Christmas holiday, have met once more. It is to be regretted that a little more rest should not have been allowed to such hard-working. members of the com munity ; but we were beginning to miss them, and, moreover, their brief holiday has endowed them with fresh life. The old conspiracy trick was again tried, this time Dr. Lankester being the plotter by getting up inquests for " ulterior pur poses." The Home Secretary, however, holds a diffe rent opinion, for, in a letter to the guardians, apprised them that 1.1 I no jurisdiction over the coroner, nor did he think that the PaTutraa WriarlA L roues ula The accident at Astley's Theatre, by which a ballet girl was nearly crushed to death, owing to the negli gence of a carpenter, who had omitted to open a trap through which she was to be hoisted, leads " A. Ballet Girl" to complain of the miseries of her race. She wishes the Lord Chamberlain to forbid managers sending their ballet girls up on iron bars to serve as statues in grand trpusformation scenes. "Night after night we are, during the run of the pantomimes, strapped to an iron bar and hoisted up into the air, sometimes as much as fifty feet from the stage. The fright some of us undergo is not very conducive to our health, as you may imagine, and as we are ordered to smile during the whole of 'the terrible ten minutes, ' it is, indeed, a horrid mockery of fun." For these disagreeable duties the average salary is about 18s. per week. If it be asked why such a profession be adopted, "A Ballet Girl" would answer that they are brought up to it, and can do nothing. else. It will doubtless be conceded that the oppor tunities of poor women earning a livelihood are few enough. THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE. The philosophers have at last found their stone. The Pall Mall Gazette states that a pupil of Baron Liebi,s , has discovered certain ethers, which, when poured upon some chemical compounds, produce instantaneously precious stones of all kinds. What these processes cost we are not informed. According to orthodox tradition, the last inventor of the chemical combination took more money in pro ducing his artificial emeralds and rubies than they would have fetched in the market. The• discovery— novel., be it noted, made public—was therefore deemed useless ; but now some one else has hit upon it. Ile has probably inaugurated the "precious stone age." «A DECADE.", Some of our contemporaries have fallen, not for the first time, into the error of treating the close of the year 1869 as the end of a decade. The period does not end until December 31, 1870. The first ten years of the century terminated on December 31, 1810, not December 31, 1809, when only nine years were completed. The same reasoning applies to the other periods of ten years. FARADAY. A. very interesting work—interesting generally; ab3orbing to the friends of Professor Faraday—is D. Bence Jones's recently published " Life and. L3tters " of the simple-minded but grand old Pro fe3sor. The doctor was the familiar friend of the philosopher, and he speaks therefore with authority. Bat he has, nevertheless, fallen into one very obvious mistake—the result of a misreading. In describing " Michael's " youth, he says that so poor were the faiiily that they "received public relief, and to Michael, who was nine years old, one loaf was given weekly, and it had to last him for that time." Mr. Gaorge Barnard, Faraday's "brother-in-law, and the father of the cartoon artist of Fun, writes t) the Times showing how the blunder was mlde. Bread was then very dear—ls. 9d. the four pound loaf. The King went without bread, and encouraged his Ministers and Court to do the same, that they might leave more for the people. It Was then that Michael was placed on one loaf a week. On the Monday his mother gave him a quartern loaf for himself, that he might have the management of it entirely. He immediately marked it out carefully into fourteen portions, one of which he ate each morning and evening. In such a school was the great leader of scientific thought bred. A CABLE TO AUSTRALIA. The British Australian Telegraph Company is now formed to carry out a " solid project " for telegraphic communication with Australia. The new scheme will be in connection with the five companies who are already engaged in laying cables to the East. The Australian cable will juin these Indian lines at Singapore,- from which island a wire of 563 miles will reach Batavia. Thence another cable of 1,163 miles will be laid to Port Darwin, in Austra lia, where a land lino of 800 miles will connect the system with Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, and Tasmania. The capital is to be £660,000. According to the pro spectus, the estimates of profit, reckoning twenty-five daily messages from the Dutch Islands, and but sixty five from the whole of the Australian colonies, is 121,66.5, or about 18 per cent. per annum, exclusive of local and Chinese business. MR. PEADODY AND THE AMERICAN WAR. Mr. Peabody's sympathies during the American war have been made the subject of a smart discussion in America. The statement that he favoured the Confederates was made with so much authority that the House of Representatives divided on the question whether they should give the philanthropist's remains a state reception.' They decided in favour of doing him honour; and since the debate Mr. Thurlow Weed has written to the journals statinc , upon the authority of personal intercourse that Mr. Peabody was a Unionist. He deplored very deeply the war; but ho held no inter course with Secessionists, he desparaged Southern bonds, and reteived news of Federal victories with gladness. 11EDDLING. The Times' review of the past year was, in the' matter of foreign policy, exceedingly favourable. "The unfriendly feeling of the United States," it told us, is the only disquietintT element in our foreign relations, and " except when it becomes necessary to discountenance the opening of some Eastern question, the English Government has lately been but a spectator of continental proceedings." Whether it bo good or bad to be "but a spectator of continental proceedings" is a question we need not now discuss; certain it is that the exception which the Times makes is about the worst that could be made. There is no necessity to discountenance the opening of any Eastern question. It is pre cisely by countenancing and discountenancing that England has so often got into more or less serious trouble in the East. Is is high time to commence the policy of lotting the East take care of itself. It will certainly come to a better end than we can ar range for it. We have on more than one occasion interfered in Eastern matters, and brought about a result far more unsatisfactory than would have accrued in the natural order of things. Tho Egyptian difficult) , is a striking example of this perverse policy. By com pelling the Khedive to accept the demands of the Porte, we have helped to prop up a bad Government, and restrict the development of a rising State. It is not indeed, our business to promote rebellion ; but why interfere in Egypt any more than in Spain, America, or any other present or past scene of intes tine strife ? CHINESE POLICY. Sir O.W. Mike writes once more- to protest against the one-sided treatment which the Chinese often re ceive from Englishmen, and especially from English men at Hong Kong. We are constantly in receipt of all sorts of stories about Chinese obstinacy, pre judice, and ignorance. We are often told that pro gress can be secured in the celestial empire only by force, and equally frequent aro the assurances that the English community_ are an oppressed and ill-used race. Sir Went worth Dilke says these reports are " coloured," or, in plain language, are false. He contends that tho Celestials are not so blindly opposed to useful change, whilst he holds, on the other hand, that the liehaviour of the British is fax from satisfactory. s an example he quotes the speech of Colonel Knox Gore, who responded for the army at a banquet given to Sir Henry Keppel. This gentleman was made to utter the following civilised remarks: — As regarded China, he contended that the Chinese were an inferior nation, and should be brought down and shewn that they were the inferior nation. (Loud cheers.) He objected strongly to the tampering policy . followed by the present economical Government, and styled it a most pernicious policy, laid a policy which would not have been tolerated for a moment two hundred years ago. Colonel Knox Gore complains of Lord Clarendon because he will not permit English officers to bring gunboats to play upon the Chinese at discretion. That a British colonel should make such a speech, and that a British assembly should accord it " loud cheers," proved, indeed, that one of the two nations is the inferior, but leaves it very doubtful whether that one is the Chinese. But Colonel linox Gore is not alone. Only a month or two ago the Overland China Mail declared that nothing but threats would avail with the Chinese ; and the Supreme Court and Consular Gazette op enl y p reaches the annexation of the country.
