The Nottingham Conservatives have determined to give the preference to a candidate of their own county as the successor to Colonel Wright. But should the right representative not be forth coming, they will invite Mr. Baillie Coch rane. This gentleman is an old member of the Conservative party. He sat for Bridport from September 1841 till April 1840, when he was un seated on petition, and afterwards from July 1847, till July 1852. In January 1853 he unsuccessfully contested Southampton, and remained out of Parlia ment until 1859, when he was returned for Honiton. Ho sat for that borough until it was disfranchised. At the general election of 1808 Mr. Baillie Cochrane polled 1,118 votes for the Isle of Wight, against 1,353 given to Sir John Simeon. The Nottingham Liberals have several candidates in view, but do not appear to have decided upon any of them. THE " MEMBEIO' FOR TIPPEEAILY. Signs are not wanting that the H ouse o f C ommons will have some little trouble with its new legislative treasure. The chances of Jeremiah finally leaving his cell for St. Stephen's are, indeed, small. But Mr. H. Moore intends to move that the " member" for Tipperary be allowed to take his seat, so that a row on the, subject may be counted on. Moreover, it is understood that it will bo necessary for O'Donovan Rossa to be admitted and heard before any resolution for his exclusion can be arrived at. MR. MILL AND MR. ODGER. Mr. J. Stuart Mill has been advising the working man'a candidate for Southwark on the subject of the Contagious Diseases Act. The late member for Westminster, in a letter which he "authorised to be read to Mr. Odger," says :—" I think that opposition to these Acts is more particularly in cumbent on the defenders of the interests of working men, •because working women are likely to be the greatest sufferers by this system of legislation ; and if it is to be carried out with anything like effi ciency, it could only be by an enormous expenditure, which, of course, would fall in the long run upon the Freat mass of the taxpayers." Mr. Mill thinks the idea of keeping up a large army of soldiers in idleness, and keeping, up an army_of women to pander to their vices, is not to-be entertained for a moment. This letter has apparently staggered Mr. Odger's convic tions. Previously he was strongly, in favour of the Acts ; now he admits that the more he thinks of them the less ho likes them. ARMY REDUCTIONS AND EXTENSIONS. The Pall Mall Gazette calls attention to some recent army appointments, and comments on the sub ject to the effect that the public will not have much cause to. congratulate itself on a decrease of military expenditure, if the reductions that are going on are not absolute and unqualified reductions. A. great increase has just been made in the 'Army Control Department, to which branch of the service forty-six appointments have been made. It is true that these forty-six officers belonged to the service before, and were merely shifted from one branch to another, but at the same time it is noticeable that they profit by the exchange in the way of a large increase in their pay and alowances. These amounted hitherto to about £28,600 a year. In their new appoint ments an addition of about £6,000 a year will be allowed. The retiring allowances also of this number of officers will be upwards of £4,000 a year greater than formerly. If an increase of emoluments in one department be made to accompany the reductions taking place in another, it is difficult to see how the public will be benefited by reduced expenditure. • • MR. ROEBUCK IN THE HAPPY VALLEY. Mr. Roebuck took the opportunity at the soiree of the Huddersfield Mechanics' Institute, to re ply to the comments that had been made on his previous education speech. He com menced by congratulating himself on the privilege of attending a meeting in what had been termed " the Happy Talley," where clergymen, committee, cricketers—everybody seemed to agree. lio said the chairman had pointed out the necessity of Government stepping in and educating the " outcasts of society." That was what he wanted. Tie had no desire to overturn all the existing institutions for the education of the country. He wished to supplement them in a part which_they .could reach. He said he had been twitted, scorned, and laughed at for alluding to the wanderers who swarmed like wasps in our streets, whom no institution could reach. He repeated that this curse to society as they were, should be pulled and yushed into the schoolroom. With regard to the doings of the Birmingham League and the Manchester Union, Mr. Roebuck thought they , only created confusion. If they went on in their present course they would bring about such a hostile spirit as would entirely put an end to national education. He expressed a hope that all parties would learn to compromise their differences, having in view the same end, and being really intent upon the education of the great masses of the community. THE BISHOP OF CARLISLE UPON EDUCATION. The new Bishop of Carlisle is very different from the old one. Dr. Waldegrave would have spoken very decidedly upon education, without reference to the other side of the question. His opinions were of a very clear stamp. One knew very much what he would say before he declared himself. Dr. Goodwin, the present Bishop, is an altogether different man—he is cautious and calculating. He leans to a side rather than takes it. Thus he spoke on education on Saturday in his diocesan city. Education was necessary, he said ; but he was not sure that the ignorance which existed resulted from the want of schools ; it rather arose from the parents not taking interest enough to send their children to be educated. Then compulsion was necessary. Well, he was rather afraid of compulsion ; it " took the spirit out of the thing." There was something to be U said for the League, but he rather liked the nion. The present system existed—that was one thing in favour of it; it was founded upon local government —the great point of the British constitution, and it was connected with religion. Therefore he "inclined" to the Union. AN IRISH LABOUR MEETING. A correspondent of the Irishman gives an account of a meeting of labourers at Kiltrnane, `county of Limerick. He says 000 stalwart, able, but downtrodden labourers attended. Many of them delivered speeches. The chief spokesman seems to have been one Mr. John MCarthy, a blacksmith. That knight of the forge contrasted the well cared-for condition of houses and cattle and the neglect of the labourers, who Jived in miserable " pigsties," and were the " most un tutored and degraded people in any civilised country in the world." He complained that there was a law for the protection of game, while the poor Irish working man was hunted down all the year round. The farmers, said Mr. M'Carthy, are moving heave?. and earth to try and become independent of their landlords, atid now why should not the poor labourer try and become independent of them both P The correspondent does not tell us how the speaker pro posed to do it. PEACE AND GOODWILL. Happily all districts in Ireland are not alike torn by agitation, and made unsafe by ill-feeling. In some places the relations between landlord and tenant are such that the utmost good will prevails; and the result is peace. Ballymena, ono of the towns of Antrim, is a case in point. The whole district is owned by Sir Shafto Adair, and he has just presented his tenants with a park. As might be expected they bear feelings toward him the very reverse of that which would cause them to assassinate him. Our correspondent writes that " Political outrages in the district are unknown, and the community may be characterised as peaceable, industrious, and well regulated." It is not, of course, the mere presentation of the park — munificent and generous though the act be—which has brought about this happy state of things; it is the general feeling which exists between landlord and tenant. Would that the same good feeling prevailed in other districts. M. lILTGO rPON IRELAND. M. Victor Hugo has raised his voice for Ireland. Always revolutionary, he now proclaims him self the father of revolutionists, and he sends to the seditious Irishman a letter, assuring the editor that he agrees with. him. The note—or the translation given by the Irishman—is not very clear. " have already," says the French poet, " raised my voice for Ireland, and I shall raise it again. I was thinking of Ireland when I said, a few weeks ago, those words which irritated the Tory press One people has not the right to ow n another people. You arc right to call me Homo. Yes, man profoundly is. All who suffer seem to me my family. Old, I feel myself a father. England defends Poland and oppresses Ireland. Never was stranger contradiction. Doubt not, sir, Ireland will triumph. England will be recalled to logic and to truth. The consciousness of mankind makes itself felt, Count on the little I can do. and believe my fraternal cordiality." How England can be said to own Ireland; what" man profoundly is" means; why M. Hugo should be called the father of sufferers; and the way the "consciousness of mankind" is to "recall" The decision of the Presbyterian Assembly in favour of commutation seems to have given universal satisfaction in Ulster. It is not likely, according to the leading organs of the Church, that the threatened refusal of a minority to acquiesce in the decision will lead to any serious results ; whilst it is well known that had the Assembly come to any other " conclusion, a feud between the laity and the ministry would have been caused in many districts. The Northern Whig is warm in its satisfaction. "The most gratifying feature of the proceedings was the conduct of the poorer country clergy. So far from being opposed to commutation, or ready to declare that they had distinct and oppo site interests to the laity, it was found that it was among those less wealthy brethren in rural districts that the most disinterested and generous spirit was shewn." THE CHANGEMEN. It is proposed to move for a parliamentary com mission of inquiry into the internal or g anisation and working of the Irish Orange lodges. The Indepen dent Orange Association, one of the parties to the recent (‘ split," met at Belfast on Saturday night in furtherance of this project. It was resolved that application should be made to Mr. Dalway, M.P. for Carrickfergus, to support the motion for the inquiry in the House of Com mons. Mr. Dalway is the member whose expulsion from the Grand Lodge 'of Ireland has given rise to such excitement. Mr. W. Johnston, Sergeant Dowsq, Sir J. Gray, and other independent members, will also be asked to support the motion. THE SHOT CONTROVERSY. Major Palliser writes to the Times to say that his challenge to Sir Joseph Whitworth to try by experi ment the question of the superiority of the Whit worth fiathoaded steel shot over the Palliser pointed chilled shot has not as yet been accepted. It may be presumed that such a trial as that proposed would be conducted at the private expense of the competitors, as we are told in this letter ? that "it seems that great efforts are being made to inflict upon the public a renewal of the great gun contro versy. The late controversy cost the country £30,000, although it ;was confined to 12-pounders and 70-pounders. would ask what will be the cost when 600-pounders are at stake ? Every round fired from the 70-pounder costs about 17s; every round fired from the 600-pounder would cost £8 or In the defence of the Woolwich gun it is urged that no instance has ever yet occurred of a gun of the present service pattern having burst. The writer adds that be does not blame Sir Joseph Whitworth for using every effort to obtain an intro duction of his guns, but he does complain of high officials, who know nothing of the construction of guns, interfering in a technical matter of this kind, and working directly against the advice of the reoularly constituted advisers of Government on such points. WOMEN'S lIIGHTS. A letter from Mr. J. S. Mill was read at the annual meeting of the National Woman Suffrage Association, held on the 18th. The economist expressed his inability to visit America to aid the cause, but added that the success of women's friends in their own country was the most important co-operation. "For Great Britain this success is much greater than appears on the surface, for our people, as 'you know, shrink much more timidly than Americans from attracting public notice to themselves; and the era of great pub lic meetings on this subject has not arrived in our country, though it may bo near at hand." TEMPLE BAIL. Mr. Bright's illustration has been illustrated. At Birmingham he enforced the difficulty of passing seve ral Cabinet measures at once by the figure, " You can not drive six omnibuses abreast through Temple bar." Yesterday, as two omnibuses were going in different directions through the famed archway, a sort of farmer's cart rashly drove in between them, and caused an utter block. The three vehicles were completely jammed together. For fifteen minutes all the efforts of the drivers and several policemen, and all the raging of two old women in the farmer's cart, failedto secure release. Fleet-street soon filled with waiting vehicles, and the queue formed itself halfway down the Strand. At last a desperate wrench brought out the farmer's cart. It is clear that you cannot drive three omnibuses abreast through Temple Bar, and the sooner the incumbrance is removed the better. SAFETY OF TIIE GREAT EASTERN. Captain Sherard Osborn has received a telegram which removes the doubts expressed as to the safety of the Great Eastern. By it we learn the arrival of the ship oil' Algoa Bay three days later than was originally estimated. She then parted company with the Chiltern on the 2nd of January, and proceeded on her voyage. She could not, the telex am adds, be expected at Bombay before the 31st instant. A STRANGE SECESSION. Three corporations in England do not appreciate all the blessings of civilisation —they have not yet learnt the " inestimable privilege" of the electric telegraph. The local governments of Boston, Walton on Thames, and Farnh am have each had their tele graphic communication cut off, because they will not submit to the new arrangement with the Post Office. They secede from the central Government in this matter. It is to be hoped that deprivation will 60032 bring them again into the fold of the nation. PROFESSOR SEELEY ON ROMAN HISTORY. Professor Seeley delivered on Saturday the first of a series of lectures on Roman History in the lec ture room of the South Kensington Museum. Eschewing the romantic side of Roman history, he said. it should be looked upon from a State point of view. By taking this view they would be able to see the changes which had passed over large classes of people through the agency of the incidents which make up the history proper of the Roman Empire. He contrasted witliTurkey and other countries that carried de struction and serfdom with their conquests. Wherever the Romans, he said, made a settlement there usually became engrafted the freedom and civilisation to which the citizens were accustomed. With regard to making conquests as a principle, the lecturer said he could not see what good it conferred upon a nation. Be was puzzled to know, for instance, what advantage India and the other far off possessions had been to England. He argued that conquest was the com mencement of decadence. ANOTHEIL TICUBOUNE CASE. The Daily .News promises the sensation - Lo ving. public a rich morsel—another romantic tale of family life, formed on the style of the Tichborne case. Another "aristocratic mystery," our contemporary , informs us, has to be unravelled ; and may, for aught that can be said to the con trary, come before the courts. The facts of the case are, in short, that a claimant of the rank and name of Lord Fitzroy, George Charles' Lennox, the second son of the fifth Duke of Richmond, which son it was supposed had been drowned, nearly thirty years ago, in the President steam-vessel, on a voyage from America to England, has just made himself known to "his family.' The family will have nothing to do with him ; and certainly appearances are against him. For twenty-nine years lie has kept silence; and he now turns up at Battersea living very obscurely.. He says he never went on board the President, and. that he has kept himself quiet all this time.' But for what reason ? Men, we know, take some very queer whims into their heads; but the soi disant "Lord Charles" puts too great a strain upon our credulity. lIODGE. At a county meeting of the Dorsetshire agricul turists on Saturday, Professor Buckman gave a lengthy address on the state of the agricul tural labourer. His argument lay chiefly in denying or modifying the assertions in Mr. Stanhope's report. He did not believe that the average earnings of the labourers were nine shillings a week. He doubted whether the cottages were worse than in other parts of the country ; generally speaking they were considerably better—" they were snug and cosy." The Professor admitted, however, that there was room for improvement ; but the landlord had no encouragement to do anything in that way, for the tenants were perfectly indiarentto keeping them tidy. Better schooling and parish supervision, and the payment of wages entirely in money would satisfy most of Hodge's wants. Lord Ashley made similar recommendations, and so did the succeeding speakers, who pretty generally agreed that Dorsetshire would be a capital place for the hewer of wood and drawer of water, if it were not for his ignorance, immorality, and superstition. It should be remembered, however, that Mr. Stanhope's report is an official one, drawn up from the most ample information; and if Professor Buckman thinks its statements incorrect, he ought to give us something more tangible than the mere expression of his dis belief. HOW TO ACT IN CASE OP FIRE. Captain Shaw, chief officer of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade, writes on the loss of life by fire. ID considers that much of it might be saved by presence of mind and precaution. Ho advises in case of fire an immediate alarm, every effort to escape and to save others by whatever mode of egress might be available, and the closing and keeping c lose all doors, windows, and apertures, of any kind to check com bustion. All persons, he says, should trust to their own resources during the first moments of alarm. The public might rely on the Fire Brigade to a very great extent, but must not do so altogether, as in many cases the success or failure of the latter depends absolutely on what might have been done before their arrival. on and tin the the L ige ttee ;ed, ion and utic ;her 3ign and rc- steel tors were I, in t of the irks feet and 12 , ,ent that .poS lleW" 1 the inure they shall and Se own! local , sses" f the k for most isioa 3ople IC tO , the ry a ater- 1 vini f tile 1 ) 2'2s: SLATE CUPS nt 5 -50 e se nt der, and -..........• --........ wife Lady c:i d, to ittlie toyn- late JnO. vine• ~lsea, --•-.- -__.....
