W, CATTLE KILLED ON A RAILWAY LINE.—A case of some interest to cattle dealers has been decided at Forfar. Mr. Henderson, farmer, of Dunkenny, sued the Caledonian Railway Company for £34, the value of a short-horned heifer and steer killed by a passing train new Glamis. The pursuer's cattle strayed on the line of railway near the railway bridge over the Dean, and two of them were killed by a p ass i ng t ra i n . The Sheriff decided that the pursuer could not obtain compensation, because his cattle in the first instance strayed on to the grounds of a neighbouring farm, from which he was bound to keep them off. Had they strayed from his own grounds on to the line, he might have claimed compensa tion, as the company were bound to keep the line pro perly fenced. THE CHILD AND THE SHOWMAN.—At the Clerkenwell Police-court a woman applied to the sitting magistrate under the following somewhat strange circumstances. Her child was out at play on the 17th of January when he was accosted by "a lady" and went with her to see a show which was exhibiting in a caravan. After the performance the child was brought home and after some negotiations between the lady, the appli cant, and her husband, it was agreed that the child should be exhibited, the parents receiving £l2 per annum, to be paid monthly, and a condition was entered into that ,the child should write home once a month when it was in the provinces. Soon after the bargain was made the applicant - was surprised to hear that the showman had sold all his paintings, and was performing at racecourses and fairs with a different kind of entertainment. She went to ge,t her child back ; hut the showman re f use d t o l e t h e r have him, and she had not since received the monthly instal ment.—The magistrate told the woman that she having acquiesced in her child being taken away, he was power los in the matter, The Liberal press both in London and the pro vinces continues to manifest much anxiety respecting the condition of public business, and of Mr. Gladstone's array. The Morning Post declares that if independent Liberals persist in playing cards which the leaders of the Opposition know—none better— how to trump, the Irish Land Bill may be lost. The Ministry must stand or fall on the principle of the Land Bill. 'The Manchester Examiner says that Mr. lleadlam and his friemds are really fighting the battle of the second reading in committee. They have ostensibly ap proved- of the principle of the measure, and if they go that length they should be prepared to put confi dence in Mr. Gladstone so far as relates to the machinery by which the principle is to bo carried out. " Unless that confidence is extended to him, and unless, moreover, it is ex twilled by silent but steady and determined support —wasting no time, but crushing opposition—it is perrtly-clear that the year will be wasted, so far at last as several measures of the highest impor- , tance are concerned." The Scotsman finds that the landlord interest, so powerful in the House, has b3come alarmed; and in their zeal for what they call rights of property, several Liberal members have not scrupled to show what a very elastic thing the approval of " the principle" of a bill may prove to be. The Dundee Advertiser thinks that oneffectual course will be open to Mr. Gladstone— h-wilely; - of liuthirig tho•completion of the Irigf Land Bill a matter of confidence in the Government. Other journals express much the same fears and wishes. The Northern Whig, of Belfast, declares that the postponement of the measure for a year will be exceedingly dangerous. • CONTENTS: I.

The mission which " Our Ocean Highways" has to achieve is to afford Travellers OF ALL NATIONS a means, in the simplest and readiest of forms, that of tho alphabet, to find their way, safely and easily, over the whole world. The success already obtained by the first annual, for 1870, is a guarantee for the future. The whole British Press have applauded the enterprise ; many American and Continental Journals have encouraged and sympathized with the move ment, which is international, and made in the best interests of all countries. The host of elaborate special Handbooks and Guides which abound at the Railway Stations give many minute details lo which a condensed Gazetteer of the World, in a moderate-sized volume, cannot lay claim. But what it ddes • claim is, that it contains every necessary particle of Tra velling and Commercial information, derived from the best and original sources. It is a matter of just pride and congratulation that all the great Ocean Steamship Companies, and many eminent Com-_ mercial Shipping Firms, have cheerfully acceded to the_ Editor's application to forward Printed Forms of Ques tions to their Correspondents and Agents all over the globe for reply. Many of the home and continental ports have already sent in the requisite information ; those more remote will all be in time to have the latest authentic intelligence inserted in the next annual volume, which will be published on the Ist of December next, so as to be received and utilised by the Ist day of the New-year in almost every part and city of the globe. It will embody an amount of topographical, statistical, commercial, railway, andshipping intelligence, such-as can -not be found in any other publication. A valuable addition will be a FOREIGN PORTS' DIRECTORY, containing the names of British and American Ministers, Consuls and Vice-Con suls, Clergymen of all denominations, Physicians, Banks, Managers and London Correspondents, Chief Merchants, Ship Brokers and Shipping Agents, Lloyd's Agents, News papers and Edam, Hotels and Proprietors ; in short ~ ;no labour or expense is being spared to render the work of paramount universal utility. Our Ocean Highways" Monthly Supplement, incorpo rated with the ." Anglo-American Times," the leading organ of America in Europe, is essentially for the uss of passengers by our great Ocean Steamship Companies. Each number of the Supplement and each bi-monthly number of "The Anglo- American Times " will contain, in addition to a Ports' Rail way and Steamers Summary, a Skeleton Tour, taking the traveller from the steamer, on his arrival in port, to some one of the great European centres, guiding him on his way and ensuring his comfort at the most eligible hotels. These Supplements accompany the passengers in the homowaid bound steamers, provision having been made for the Agents of the respective Steamship Companies regularly receiving them for distribution at all foreign ports.

The Daily News compares the position of the great measure of this year and the great measure of last year. In 1869, the Church Disestablish ment Bill was introduced March Ist, read a second time March 23rd, went into committee April 16th, passed out of committee, after twelve sittings, May 7th, reported to the House May 13th, and read a third time May 31st. From that time to July 26th, when the Royal Assent was given, the bill was in the Upper House. The Land Bill was introduced February 15th, read a second time March 11th, went into Com mittee March 28th, and the seventh sitting in that stage was suspended on the Bth instant, with the first clause passed, the second postponed, and the third unfinished. Thus in about two months all the substantial work on the Church Bill was completed; but it is now two months since the land campaign opened, and only a clause and a half is dis posed of. ULSTER TENANT-11IGHT. That excellent authority on the Irish land ques tion, Mr. Cliffe Leslie, pronounces the Government bill worthless in respect of its provisions for estab lishing a legally sanctioned Ulster tenant right. That right gives to the tenant the privilege of selling his good - will to the next corner. But by enforcing this claim at law, the bill will merely induce the landlord to raise the rent, so as to extinguish the value of the tenant's interest, by rendering it both unsaleable and un tenable. The landlord may naturally feel justified in exercising a right which the Legislature has intervened to affirm; and the loosening or severance of the old political ties between landlord and tenant in Ulster, which various causes are effect ing, must dispose him to make the most of his legal rights. And what will the Ulster occupiers think of this change ? They are very quiet just now, says Mr. Leslie, because they do not comprehend the full purport of the first clause. But the Fenian, who does, pores over it with exultation, and regards the men of Ulster already as his allies. THE BALLOT. The Edinburgh Review has an article entitled "The Ballot, not Secret Voting." The writer undertakes to prove that the Ballot, such as the British people imagine and desire it, has no existence whatever, and that it is only a figment of the imagination. What ever advantages, he says, are found in connection with secret voting are readily attainable by slight modifications of our present system, while whatever disadvantages discredit our present system, exist elsewhere in an aggravated form under secret voting. The writer reviews the working and result of the Ballot in the United States, and quotes from letters written by Mr. Horace Greely, of the .New York Trzburte y the Hon. T. 0. Howe, senator from Winconsin, and the Hon. Darwin E. Ware, a pro minent lawyer of Boston. From this testimony he Irgues that in America State elections and candi lates are so numerous, that no other machinery would suffice; and that if the Ballot involved secret voting the Americans would despise it, because in America publicity is regarded as the only safeguard of purity. As regards Australia, referring to the evidence of Mr. Childers and Mr. Torrens, he asks whether a system which frequently allows the state of the poll to be known before the election can be 3alled secret voting. In France he says secret voting has afforded the means of concealing and defeating the popular vote. Under all these circumstances it may, he concludes, without rashness be asserted that no method of secrecy has ever yet been devised which will prevent the personation of electors by false voters. THE NATIONAL DEBT. Mr. Thomas Brassey, jun., M.P. for Hastings, writing on the Budget of Mr. Lowe and the national debt, says there are many hope ful indications of returning prosperity to this zountry. During the last four years we have passed through a most severe ordeal, and thp commercial world has learnt the hard lesson of adver sity. But it would be Quixotic, he submits, to hope that similar disasters will not recur. The accumu lations of a few years of commercial prosperity, necessarily cause an abundant supply of money, and the facility with which capital can be obtained leads to the concoction of those alluring, but delusive schemes, the temptation of which the mor e credulous sectio n of the investin g public Dv never yet been able, and he fears never will be able, to resist. It is the ultimate failure, says Mr. Brassey, of these bubbles, which inevitably produces a co mmercial crisis. He thinks, then, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in view of our lip! , prov ed commercial prospects, and supported by a majority in Parliament such as few Ministers can hope to command, might have exhibited a little more courage in his treatment of our obligations as a nation to reduce the burden of the public debt. THE RELIGIOUS DIFFICULTY. G. 0." writes to the Times on "the religious diff i cu lty." He says that all solutions of this problem must come to this : Schools supported by the " rate " must either be secular altogether, or there mu s t b e some co mpromise which shall allow some religious teaching which shall secure to each child a know ledge of those truths on which the great b o dy o f believers agree, leaving to different denominations of Christians to take whatever other opportunity cir cumstances will admit to inculcate the doctrines special to their own denominational creed. " 5.G.0." thinks, in all this controversy, it has been overlooked that the . age of the children is not one to which much evil can attach from dogmatic teaching. He says he is altogether incredulous on the subject of parents giving at home teaching in the elements of Bible knowledge. Many would try to do so, as they do now, and many would succeed ; but daily toil, the battle of manual labour, domestic life, its scenes and surroundings, however they may aftbrd opportunity for good example, make schooling at the hearth generally impracticable, even if there was the ability to give it. He thinks if all would unite to secure some plot of Christian ground to which all would desire to introduce early child, life this religious difficulty would cease to exist. ELEVATIONS. The Right Hon. Sir William Hutt is spoken of as a probable recruit to the Upper House. He is a very old member of the Liberal party. , Born in 1803, he took his seat for Hull in 1832, and retained it until 1841. Since that date he has represented Gateshead. Sir William held office as Vice-President of the Board of Trade from February, 1800, to November, 1865. In the latter year he was appointed to negotiate a commercial treaty at I/ ienna. Sir William voted for the ballot in 1853, a step which classed him amongst the advanced politicians of that time; but adherence to the ballot is nothing now-a dayq, ,and the member for ,Gtoteshead accordingly The Report of the Chelsea Hospital Committee, learns the Army and Navy Gazette, will be unfavour able to the disestablishment of that institution. As the inquiry is still proceeding, our contemporary cautiously adds that " things may wear an entirely different aspect ere a few weeks have elapsed." A reduction, however, the paper says, may be confi dently looked forward to. Another "ser vice" paper states that for each adult, arid £1 for each child under 12 years of age are the sums fixed by the Lords of the Admiralty f.ir the conveyance of discharged dockyarclsnien and their families to Quebec in ll7M.'s . troopships. The smile paper draws attention to the manner in which " apocryphal facts" are made use of in order to put clown the too inquisitive members of the House of Commons. As an instance, it gives the answer of Mr. Childers to Sir John Hay. The latter gentleman asked the First Lord if . the Mr. Austen who purchaied Deptford Dockyard for £71,000 was the same Mr. Austen who was security for the con tractor for the Chatham Dockyard extension and whether the money was paid or not. Mr. Childers acknowledged that the pnrolmen money wa s no t paid, and that the Mr. Austen was the same person in both cases. So far Sir John Hay had made his point ; but Mr. Childers adroitly turned the tables by saying that the Chatham contract had been made and the securities ac cepted by the Admiralty, when Sir John Hay was a member. This threw all the responsi bility on the Conservative Government, as Sir John Hay was not prepared positively to contradict an assertion so boldly made about matters not in his immediate department. Yet that assertion was not "founded on fact." WASTE LANDS. The demonstration of the Land and Labour League in Trafalgar-square on Good Friday was not remark able as a display of popular sympathy. These out door affairs, in fact, seem to get worse and worse. On Friday the attendance was smaller—amounting to only 300 people, the crowd was more ragged than usual, the band played the " Marseillaise " in more execrable style, and the orations were of the lowest clas3, neither Mr. Odger or any of his school putting in an appearance. But in one respect there was a visible improvement. The great scheme of the Land and Labour League is to put all the waste lands of the kingdom under the control of G overnment,and employ distressed work ing men to " cultivate" them—a job which would un doubtedly have the effect of keeping the unemployed out of mischief, as an experiment in " cultivating" S nth erlandshire would abundantly shew. On Good Fri day this plan was revived,with the remarkable addition that the owners of this waste land were to b 3 paid for their property at the market price. As the League has never before mooted the question of payment in any form whatever, this proposal must be deemed a great, concession in these hard times, and as a great advance in civilisation not at all to be expected in so brief a space. THE INSPECTION OF CONVENTS. The Times has further correspondence on what may now be designated " this much-vexed question." Sir Charles Clifford demurs to Mr. Newdegate's describing his oratorical efforts at the Stafford Club as " the somewhat dictatorial demands of Sir Charles Clifford and his colleagues for the appointment of some other court of inquiry than that upon which the house has decided." He says that at that meet ing no speaker demanded the appointment of a court of inquiry into monasteries and convents. One and all protested against inquiry in any shape as a grievous insult to Catholics, and as a violation of the plainest principles of the consti tution under which we live. Mr. C. Weguelin writes on the same subject. As a Protestant he asks leave to enter a protest against the committee in question. We are, he says, doing our best to pacify Ireland. We have sacrificed our sectarian prejudices, and dis established the Irish Church. Is it, he asks, worth while running the risk of undoing all the good thus, as we hope, effected, and of setting every Protestant and Catholic in Ireland by the ears for the sake of undertaking the hopeless task of convincing a few bigots that their views of conventual establishments are false ? ABSURD ENDOWMENTS. Every now and then we hear of the difficulty attending the carrying out the wishes of long de ceased testators—desires which, when they were made, might have been reasonable enough, but which, in the present day, approach the absurd so closely that the question forces itself as to whether the Legislature ought not to step in and deal with these bequests in a manner more befitting the age we live in. Here is an. instance. Some centuries ago a lady left a certain sum to provide for a sermon and for twenty five widows receiving sixpence each on Good Friday. No doubt even that small amount calls up plenty of deserving claimants ; but attached to the receipt of the bounty was a proviso as senseless as can be well imagined. These twenty five sixpences were to be placed prior to distribution on the tomb of the testatrix, and any widow who was too stiff to stoop was to depart without the coveted coin. Time, however, has seriously interfered with the carrying out of this bequest to the letter, as long since the tomb has mouldered away. The trustees, however, have substituted the ground wherq the tomb formerly was for the monument itself, and the sixpences are duly laid there and then given away. EASTER TERM. This year Easter Term fell on Good Friday, and, axordingly, Act 4 William 4, c. 70, which provides for such a contingency, comes into operation. The commencement of the term will be postponed until Wednesday next, four days being added to the close of it to make up for the loss of time thus sustained. The arrears in the superior courts are very considerable. In the Queen's Bench there are forty-three rules for new trials, and in the special paper a host of cases. In the Common Pleas the number of arrears is unusually large ; in the special paper there are fifty-six rules, twenty-three new trials, eight enlarged rules, and three cases for judgment. 111TIRPHY AND " THE TELEGRAPH." Mr. Murphy writes to the Birmingham Gazette a letter, which, he says, is a (c vindication " of himself, and which he sent to the Telegraph, in answer to numerous attacks, but it was refused insertion. The Protestant champion, amongst other excited lan guage, makes use of the following :----" You have in cited the Romanisrs to kill me ; and your suggestion that some day or other I should come to a violent end has already had some effect, for on the evening that your article appeared I was set upon and violently beaten. Talk of the Irish Coercion Bill ! There is as much occasion for its application to your office as there is for its application to the most extreme of the Irish press. It is the plan of these Irish papers to suggest that such and such persons are objectionable . ; and murder follows. You have taken the same line of conduct as is used by your Irish friends to encourage and inspire Rory of the Hills." SIR JOSEPH HAWLEY'S PROPOSITIONS. In referring to the letters of Sir Joseph Hawley on turf reform, the leading journal says the turf must indeed be in a bad way when the views ex pressed by Sir Joseph are the opinions of one of its staunchest supporters. The Times believes the premature racing, the excess and abuse of handicaps, and all other influences of a de moralising tendency may be traced to the time when the legitimate sport o f ' rac i ng was made the mere vehicle for gambling. It fears that it is impossible to strike at the root of these evils without injury to the perfectly legitimate, no less tha n t o th e perfectly i llegitimate " betting interest." If Sir Joseph's resolutions were agreed to, it would be impossible to carry on a lucra tive system of betti ng w hi c h i s carr i ed on b y many in an honourable manner, and on the other hand under the pretence of sport it would not be possible to carry on a system of swindling and Sharping which has converted " the turf " a bye-word and disgrace. As to the propositions referring to exces sive handicaps, premature racing, and the like our con temporary thi n k s th ey go s t ra i g ht to the evils com plained of. The _Rag Azqg Ouette Bays that behind. the THE SCOTCH SOCIAL PROBLEM. The figures as to illegitimate children in Scotland, as brought to light by the Registrar-General's report, are instructive, especially when compared with similar statistics of other nations. Whilst as a rule the majority of illegitimates are on the Continent born, in towns and cities, in Sc o tl an d th e reverse seems to be the case. In France, for instance, the rural districts give only 4 per cent. as against 20 per cent. the towns, of illegitimate births; Belgium gives 6.7 per cent. in the country, and 13.0 per cent. in the cities, and 31.8 per cent. in Brussels. The illegiti mate births in Scotland are principally confined to the labouring and working classes, and the mothers are generally servants, factory hands, and the like. Une fact, interesting in itself, is that in many instances the parents of the children are true to each other and their offspring, frequently legitimised by the subsequent marriage of their parents. The Registrar-General thinks that by this law_not.only is the proportion of illegitimates re duced, but the incentive to infanticide greatly decreased. Of any connection of illegitimacy with education there is no clue, as instead of unedu cated counties skewing the majority of illegitimate children, the reverse is the case. It is on the large farms that married men are employed ; so that in many districts so soon as a young man marries, he loses his situation as a ploughman, and. is forced to become a daily labourer, dependent on his work for his bread. This, of course, acts as a strong check on his openly marrying. INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT. The Daily News refers to the " Frou-Frou" ques tion, which has recently been rehearsed in the court of Vice-Chancellor James. The case originally came up under the title of " Wood v. Wood," when an injunction was obtained by the assignees of Messrs. Meilhac and lialevy's rights as to the per formance in this country of a version of " Frou- Frou." This injunction Vice-Chancellor James, dissolved, purely on technical grounds ; and until Thursday next, when the renewed apulica tion for an injunction will be made, an important question must remain undecided. That question is whether foreign dramatic authors under the existing International Copyright Acts, or by virtue of any convention confirmed by order in 'council, are really able to secure a marketable property in their . productions in this country. The question to be dis cussed, says the Daily News, lies really in a nutshell. It is—what sort of adaptation or annotation of a French author's play is entitled to be regarded as a fair one, and not, as the copyright convention between France and England expresses it, a "pirati cal translation ?" Until this question is settled it will be mere hypocrisy for us to reproach our kindred across the Atlantic with their blindness to the claims of justice in this respect. A VALUABLE IMPORTATION. M. Gustave Flourens was the journalist who pro claimed the Republic in Paris, and attempted to getup an insurrection on the night of Rochefort's arrest. Ile has been entrusted with an address from some Irish citizens to the French nation, which address he has sent to the Marseillaise. It runs thus : "Au Peuple Francais, Citizens : The Irish peopl e i s oppressed as you are. Misery and famine ravage Ireland under the English domination. The noblest and best of her sons languish in the dungeons of England. Her industry is sacrificed in favour of English trade. Crushing taxes consume all her resources. French citi zens, we appeal- to you in the name of our country so cruelly oppressed, and we ask of you to denounce the odious hypocrisy of a Government which pretends to grant all liberties whilst it treats us like the enslaved peoples of the East. ' Saint et Fraternit4.' " In despatching this precious docuinent to the Mar seillaise M. Flourens thinks " it is a great honour and a great reward for us that wherever there are op pressed men, they turn their eyes to us." M. Flourens may rest assured that there is one thing which the English people do not consider an honour and a re ward, and that is for French sedition mongers to aid in fomenting discontent in a country which affords them a shelter from the punishment of their deeds. MORMON AFFAIRS. Brigham Young and his party, consisting of his favourite wife, Amelia, a counsellor, and a dozen elders, had arijved at St. George, the most southern settlement and telegraph station of the Mormons, and about 300 miles from Salt Lake City. There is said to be a belt of country 300 miles still fur ther south, well watered, though in the dry regions of Arizona, and large enough for a State, known only to the Mormons and the Indians ; and, in view of an emergency, it is confidently asserted at Salt Lake that Brigham is on the road critically to inspect that land. The importance attached to his movement may be judged from the fact that for the first time in the history of Mormonism in Utah the April Conference, which annually commemorates the anniversary of the Church, was postponed for it. On March 26 a great meeting of merchants and pro fessional men was held in the Masonic Hall of Salt Lake City, touching a memorial to the U.S. Senate, praying for the expurgation of those sections of Mr. Cullom's Bill, which punished by fine and im prisonment the continuance of the patiiarchal fa mily relations. Several of the speakers argued that a liberal policy towards the offenders of the past would benefit the country, arresting polygamy in the future, and a number of Gentiles were ap pointed to draw up the memorial to be telegraphed to the President of the Senate. The interest is represented as being intense, and it is asserted that if the Senate pass the House bill in its present shape, the Territory of Utah will become " a deso lation." It is not easy to gather from the conflict ing statements a just notion of what the Mormons will do ; but we find in the letter of a very intelli gent Gentile correspondent of the New York Tribune many of what appear to us, unprejudiced remarks, written from the new Jerusalem, which throw some light on the subject. He considers Brigham to be a fanatic, believing in himself and the mission of his people, which is to cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. If they have to fly before their enemies, it will be because of their unfaithfulness; but the Lord is on their side, and will prove too much both for Congress and the Executive. Brig ham will not change ; though he sees that his people do change under contact with the world, and he has sworn that he will never submit to outside dictation in polygamy, or in whatever he deems religion. A portion of his people think his thoughts, and do his will. The able-bodied mennumber 16,000, of whom one-eighth are polygamists beyond the law. The straitest of the sect who would follow Brig ham to a more isolated Sion in case the Cullom law we re enforced would be a b ou t th ese two t h ousan d , with theirwives and children ; and with them would terminate the iron reign of terror which Brigham has maintained in the moun t a i ns f or t wen t y years . The correspondent hopes for the passage and en forcement of the Cullom Bill, divested of its har6her features, as he anticipates nothing more than the flight to Arizona of that fanatical band, which, like an incubus, has rested on Utah. Whe ther the correspondent be right or wrong, there are many who strongly dissent from his conclusion; believing that if the bill be passed and enforced, d, it will lead to a desolating war. The non-arrival of last Saturday's mail interrupted our report of the debate in the House on the Polygamy Bill. Mr. Axtell would vote against it as unnecessarily harsh, a declaration of war, and as such industrious community. to destroy a prosperous and community. General Schenck, while desiring to break up the corrupt criminal state of things in tit ah,did not consider the bill calculated for that ob ject ; its provisions violated every principle of common law ; one of its sections even provoking war ; and he moved to recommit the bill Mr. Cullom op posed recommitment, while willing to have it amended, and the 11th section struck out.. Re commitment was rejected by 89 to 75. An amend ment, offered by Mr. Fitch, was also rejected by 114 to 43, and the bill was passed with the 11111, 30th, 31st, and 32d sections struck out by 94 to 32. k.
