It is noticeable that certain Ulster counties, which have long held back from the land agitation, aro now chiminc , in with the general chorus of discontent. Donegal . has had its yreliminary meeting at Bally bofey, and it promises us " a grand display of tenant-right enthusiasm " next Wednesday at the same place. A. meetin g has been held at Eglinton, in Londonderry, and on Monday there is to be a demonstration at Castlederg, in Tyrone. The Irish Tenant League still keeps alive, though how its funds are looking, and to what extent shilling subscription cards have been sold, seems doubtful. At the last meeting Mr. Butt, Q.C., doubted-the power of Mr. Bright and Mr. Gladstone to do justice to the farmers, though he had no doubt as to their good intentions. IRISH RAILWAYS. Some representatives of the South of Ireland lines have been talking railway affairs over with the Lord Lieutenant. They want railroad enterprise to be encouraged by means of Government assistance in obtaining loans, which might of course be raised on better terms under the wing of the State. One gen tleman submitted to his Excellency that there , was a-general lack of confidence in railways, notwith standing the benefit they had conferred upon the country. The decision of the Legislature in making railway bonds terminable was also very grievous. He suggested the creation of a debenture fund for Irish lines, which, he thought, could be done without any risk to the Government. This would enable those who wished to do so to exchange their terminable bonds for permanent stock. The effect would be to enable them to manage their lines better and give a small dividend to the proprietors. Another representative calculated that if the application was complied with, a saving of £lOO,OOO a year interest would be effected. They found it difficult, he said, to get their bonds issued, and when they applied for money were met with the question, "What is the Government going to do with the Irish railways ?" The Lord-Lieutenant had not, however, much encouragement to offer. The deputation, he objected, had no specific scheme; but if they would reduce their proposals to writing, he would lay them before the Government. TIM ROOT OF THE ➢'ATTER. The Times' Commissioner devotes his twenty seventh, and what appears to be his last, letter, to a general history of the land system in Ireland. his main conclusion is that the chief grievances which the population suffer, are of recent, not of remote, origin, and hence the strength of the present dissatis faction. Whilst the course of centuries has developed in England the large farm system with which the law is in harmony, in Ireland the small farm system has sprung up side by side with a law wholly anta gonistic to it. The settlement of land in the two countries stands on entirely distinct foundations. The leading present defect in the Irish land system, re garded upon the side of occupation—the general preva lence.of tenancies-at-will, co-existing with the large claim of the I)easantry to an equitable interest in the soil, and the insecurity and injustice thence resulting —is comparatively of modern origin, and this, in a certain degree, explains why, though the country has greatly improved and many ills of the past have vaniehed, discontent, widespread and deep-rooted, still continues to fester in the hearts of the people. From this starting-point, the Commissioner tells us, the settlement of the difficulty must be sought ; but unhappily this theorem is wide and vague, and the authority who has occupied so many columns of the Times does not conduct us any nearer the goal. THE BISHOP OF WINCHESTER ON mTuaLism. A deputation has waited upon the Bishop of Win chester in reference to certain alleged ritualist practice at St. Giles's Church, Camberwell. The special . grievances set forth were the preaching of the vicar in a white surplice, the intoning of the lessons, - the collection of alms in bags instead of plates, and the statement in their pulpit by the Rev. Lord George Osborne that the Reformation was a myth, and had been a curse to the country. Dr. Wilberforce, in reply, gave the deputation advice as to the necessity of procuring harmony amongst them selves. He said if the lessons were intoned it was It most improper thing; they ought to be impressively spoken. As far as he could gather from their statement, there was nothing at Camberwell but a bright congregational service, such as was established in all churches where people cared anything about the worship. His lord ship said he thought the reformation of the Church of England was one of the choicest blessings which they ought to thank God tor. Any one who read what was going on at Rome read enough to shock the con science of every Christian man. He promised to do all he could to bring about a better state of feeling among all parties. THE VOLUNTEER FORCE. Lieutenant-Colonel Aiknian writes a letter to the Standard containing some suggestions as to the best way of securing efficient officers and efficient rank and file. Tie considers that the only way to get thoroughly able officers is by offering a real in ducement, namely, military rank. With regard to rank and file, he thinks that the duties of volunteers should be made less irksome and more effective, which can only bo done by affording every convenience for drill and rifle practice, and by binding the entire force to strict economy in regard to dress and regimental institutions. The whole system he contends want, NOT SO BAD AS IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN. The friends of Dr. Shorthouse, who was recently committed to prison for a libel on Sir Joseph Hawley, will have a consolation in knowing that his incarce ration will not be so uncomfortable as it might have been. In the report of the visiting Justices of the house of Correction, Coldbath fields it was stated that the doctor had availed him self of the special rules of the court with regard to first-class misdemeanants, both as to the number of his visitors, the time of their visits, and the sup plies of wine and food allowed to be pro ' cured. The report further states that this is the first time in the last twenty years a prisoner has been committed to Coldbath-fields Prison as a misdemeanant of the first division. Their wor ships seem to imagine they have been caught "nap ping," as they have placed certain restrictions on the Doctor's requirements, and expressed an opinion that a revision of the rules is desirable. GRAND JURIES. At a general meeting of Middlesex magistrates the law affecting grand juries was discussed. On the last county day it was reported, on the authority of the Assistant-Judge, that the present system of send inF cases before grand juries tended to delay the trial of prisoners ; and the committee suggested the withdrawal of cases awaiting trial from the cognizance of the grand jury. In consequence of this report Mr. Serjeant Payne moved at the last sitting a reso lution to the effect that the system of trial by jury, of which the grand jury formed a part, should be upheld in its integrity, inasmuch as by the laws of the realm, confirmed by Magna Charta, no person can be put on his trial for a criminal offence until after indictment, found against him by twelve men constituted as a grand jury. The motion was seconded by Sir J. Lawrence, at whose suggestion, however, it was withdrawn, on the ground that the Home Secretary is about to bring in a Bill on these laws next session, and it would be well first to see what the Bill contained. BARBARISM IN GLASGOW. Glasgow is in a very unhealthy condition, in deed the mortality has of late been so high as to cause serious alarm. It has been the subject of anxious deliberation, we are told, on the part of the authorities. And at length, it seems, this solici tude has borne fruit. A deptitation from the Police Board of the city has been sent on a perambulatory tour, it has visited Bristol and other towns for the purpose of learning sanitary improvements, and now its recommendations are published. A formidable and curious list they are. Stair cases in buildings tenanted by the working classes should have an opening at the roof, and the lobbies should be ventilated. Every apartment ought to have a means of ventilation beyond the control of the inmates. Every dwelling ought to have a water supply and conveniences. The courts ought to be paved, so that no filth can accumulate. The police should see that stairs and courts are kept clean. There ought to be house-to-house inspection. Typhus fever ought to be co :Matted with strong chemicals. These recommendations are good, Lo doubt ; but their perusal naturally involves the serious doubt whether Glasgow be a residence for human beings or a den of wild beasts. It seems that we have come to such a pass that we must keep our fellow countrymen clean by main force, and compel them to be healthy in spite of themselves. Ventilation beyond the inmates control! RIFLES AND SAND-BAGS. "One of the Crimean Light Division" writes to the Pall Mall Gazette, expressing his belief that no single sand-bag will protect a man from the bullet of an Enfield rifle. He says he was ordered in Bul garia to fill with clay gabi ins of three feet diameter to test the Minis; rifle of 1854. The bullet passed through the loose clay. It was only rich heavy clay trampled by feet that resisted the projectile, _ • Is/Nip ftwalar - TszEinamasiwir, , r, • • The Great Northern Telegraph China and Sa n Extension Company asks for a capital of £OOO,l 1t— £150,000 of which has already been subscribed in Denmark—for establishing telegrapllic con nection between China, Japan, and - Europe by way of Russia. An exclusive concession has been granted by the Russian Government for carrying out this project. Cables are to be issued from the exist ing Russian land lines at Posietta Bay to Shan,ginti, and subsequently to Hongkong. A working has been concluded with the Great Northern Telegraph Company, by whose lines the traffic will be conducted between Russia and Eng land. EMIGRATION TO CANADA. The Toronto Globe maintains that what Canada particularly wants is the occupation of her waste lands by an industrious, thrifty, and intelligent population, and that to secure this her Government should hold out all reasonable inducements. It adds that the Dominion has been an unknown land to the emigrating masses, and expresses a hope that this indifference is at an end. In Ontario alone millions of acres of excellent land remain untaken. OPENING OF PUBLIC LIBRARIES BY NIGHT. A. correspondent writes to the Pall Mall Gazette with reference to the openinc , of the British Museum at night. He instances the large public library of St. GemSvieve, in Paris, which has been for more than fifteen years open every night to all comers from six to ten o'clock. He adds that at Oxford the reading room in the Radcliffe Building is opening of an evening until ten o'clock : and asks if Oxford and Paris are thus privileged why should not London P THE CHINESE TREATY. A very influential meeting of London merchants connected with the China trade has condemned the treaty just concluded by Sir Rutherford Alcock. The arrangement with respect to transit dues is considered unsatisfactory. Under the Tien tsin treaty a transit duty of 2i per cent. ad valorem was levied as a substitute for the obnoxious inland or barrier dues which were exacted on merchandise passi'ng to the interior. But these barrier tolls are farmed out to individuals who, it was soon found, continued to demand their levies just as if no equivalent transit dues had been paid. The new treaty proposes t 3 exact a customs duty of 71 per cent., instead of 6 per cent., as hitherto, in lieu of the transit dues. But will the impositions in the interior cease with this arrangement P Will the :lew treaty be respected any more than that of Tien-tsin ? The London merchants think not. They are of opinion ? too, that the doubling of the export duty on silk is a retrograde policy. Lastly, they decide that the other provisions, whatever may be their worth, do not counterbalance these two defects of the treaty, which they hold ought not to be ratified. TAE ASSESSED TAE The collection of the Assessed Taxes in siaiiiiBo under the new system has commenced, and soon the' taxpayer will be called upon to pay also the second half of the assessment for the year ending April 5, 1869. The prospect leads the Pall Mall Gazette to doubt whether the supposition that taxes collected in one year are for articles used in the preceding year is not a mistake, whether, in fact, the, financial year has not been confused with that upon' which the taxation was based. " A reference to the' Act 43 George 111., which was the foundation of the late system of Assessed Taxes,would seem to shew that the taxes were imposed for the year then ensuing, , beginning on the sth April, 1804, by relation to the articles kept during the preceding financial year in' the middle of which the Act was passed. In corrobo ration of this statement we may point out that the Act of 43 George 111. received the Royal assent on the 12th August, 1803." The Globe agrees with this view. TILE EMIGRATION MOVEMENT. The National Emig,ration League, formed out of two societies, elected its officers yesterday, and definitely constituted itself. The Duke of Man chester was chosen President, and a strong list of vice-presidents, including baronets, and knights, fifteen M.P.'s, and the Rev. Canon Girdlestone and other clergy.; men, was placed after his Grace's name. The title of National Emigration League was fixed, and it was resolved to commence business forthwith. Mr. Charles M'Garel announced that he was prepared to give £l,OOO if nine others did the same, or £6OO if twenty others contributed a similar amount. A BREWER'S TESTIMONY ON BAD BEER. Mr. Isaac Glover, a brewer and vestryman of Liverpool, has given some remarkable testimony respecting the beer trade of his city. Mr. Glover is, of course, a believer in beer generally, but is firmly convinced that adulteration has the most baneful effect. He declares that Liverpool beer is adulterated with grains of paradise, nux vomica, oil of vitrol, ammonia, &c. He also mentions that this liquor will not keep, and that when it becomes a little sour the brewer refreshes it, and sells it as soon as possible at a low price. Of course it will become worse in the hands of the publican, who uses chemicals to neutralise the acid. Mr. Glover has been making an inspection of the lunatic asylums of Lancashire, and on inquirin„; the cause of the constant increase of lunacy, the almost invariable explanation was—drunkenness. It is the adulteration, he says, which does the mischief. There should be an inspection of ale as well as of beef. TIOW TITE FEVER SPREADS. Three cases recently occurring shew clearly hot , epidemics are generated. The one incident took place in the metropolis. In the neighbourhood of "Whitechapel" a complaint was naade of the dangerous state of a house next door to the Jews' Infant School, in consequence of two children lying there dead, and of fever being very bad 4 ' in the house." The house on inspection was found to contain eight rooms, each occupied by separate family. There were two children dead in . the house, and. the smell in consequence was most offensive. Nothing, however, could be done, as there is no pubic mortuary for the district. Another fact has been brought under the notice of the Liverpool magistrates. A man sold infected bedding, without the least pre caution, and he was fined 20s. Lastly, when the fever broke out in the Sailors Orphan's Home, at West Ham (near London), instead of sending those not infected home, the 20 who were stricken were disposed of in that way. Is it any wonder, with such management, epidemics spread ? VACCINATION. The discussion on the merits of vaccination leads the Pall Mall Gazette to very appropriately publish the number of deaths from smallpox which took place in the years 1802 and 1803, when vaccination first came into use. In the week ending November 2, 1802, before the effects of the remedy had made themselves manifest, the deaths were 72 ; next week they were 74 ; and so on averaging 70 or 80 up to December 14, when they were 102. The week after there was a fall to 50, and thenceforth the mortality declined. In the week ending January 11. it was 39 ; February 8, 30 ; March 15, 15; and for months after it fluctuated between 10 and 15. THE RELIGIOUS RELIEF OF THE POET LAUREATE.' A. day or two since we noticed the criticism of the ultra-Low Church Rock upon the Poet Laureate. Mr. Tennyson was to the Rock a High Church Sacramentarian who had embodied the doctrine of Transubstantiation in a poem. The High Church papers, however, will have none of the poet or his philosophy. The Church Times nearly succeeds in proving that he is an Atheist. It is clear to our contemporary that he is a Pantheist. Does not his " Higher Pantheism " prove it ? "Is Ho not all, but thou that bath power to feel I am I." " Mr. Tennyson, says the Church Times, may cal this the Higher Pantheism if he pleases ; but there is no high or low in the matter. Unless we confess God to be the All-Ruler, the maker of Heaven and Earth, and of things visible and invisible, our faith is no more than Deism, and Deism is, after all, worse than idolatry—it is practically Atheism." The path of our contemporary's logic is as smooth as could be. PRICE OF GOLD. The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, anp the short exchange on London is 25f. 15c. per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 128.100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold at the above price is slightly dearer in Paris than in :s London COURSE OF EXCHANGE.
