At a meeting of the Council of the Irish Tenant League Mr. Isaac Butt delivered an address on Ulster Tenant Right. He said that if p rotection was not given by law to the remnant of Ulster tenant right that was left, it was not worth ten—most pro bably not worth five—years'purchase. He thought the people of Ulster had a right to the most solemn assurance that any legislation would not he tolerated which tended in the slightest degree to rob them of their birthright. Ho was an Ulster man by birth, and it was with no calculations of expediency that he asked them, representing as yet only the Southern districts or Ireland, to raise their voices in defence of the rights of the Northern people. He believed the day was coming when there would be no differences between North and South—when, in fact, this very tenant question would unite them. Mr. Butt explained the Ulster tenant right. He saw that its whole value above that of mere good will oe right of occupancy depended o n th restric tions which the•custom imposed on eviction, and upon ' the increase of rent. Finally he contended that the entire people of Ireland, in common with the inhabitants of Ulster, were entitled to a security of tenure equal to that which the strict observance of the ancient cus tom of tenant right practically conferred upon the tenants of estates on which that custom was most faithfully observed. texemeUmenwows THE SUN, LONDON, SATE ;LAY EVENING, JAN U All Y 22, 1870.

"Accelerated by the want of proper accommoda tion in the wards of St. Pancras' Workhouse" is be coming a regular corollary to the verdicts of coroner's juries in the famous London parish. In fact, the last twelve who officiated did not think this addendum sufficiently explicit, but wanted to record that death had been accelerated by neglect on the part of the medical men. It was only after a stout controversy with the coroner that the jury abandoned their design. The victim whose death gave rise to this outburst of indignation was an elderly man who had been suffering from bronchitis. The workhouse authorities seem to have conceived the idea that hurrying apatient from place to place was the best cure for the disease. On January 3 Charles Field was taken from the infirmary into the able-bodied men's ward, whilst palpably unfit for the removal. Ho, remained eight days in the ward, was taken back to the infirmary on the 11th, and died on the 16th. Two doctors said that deceased was sent out of the infirmary through "want of accommodation." And this is the sort of thing that has been going on for weeks. Pauper after pauper has been killed off, strong verdicts in plenty have been returned, but there is still a "want of accommodation" in St. Pancras Workhouse. MUSEUMS. Antiqaarian —Somerset House.

Mr. Rae, in a letter on emigration to Canada, points out that the unsettled lands of that colony are all, or nearly all, covered with a dense forest, the greater part of which when cut down is of little or no marketable value. This to an unused hand is very heavy work. It would take a poor man probably a lifetime to clear a hundred acres. But in the west of the United States the whole country is prairie lands, with the exception of a few clumps of timber sufficient for log house, fencing, and fuel. Having enumerated other advantages which. the Western States have over the unsettled lands of Canada, Mr. Rae says he cannot see how her interests are to be served by withholding the truth, or by unjustly blaming the Press for not blowing a trumpet in praise of Canada lands, Canada taxes, cheerful belles, and pretty sleighs. It is but little of the latter-named two "articles " that the poorer emigrant sees or rides in for many a year after settlement in the backwoods, for his " merry winter " must be spent, if he wishes to pros per, in constant toil, felling timber from morning to night for something like six days in the week. In the cities, towns, and old forts of Canada " cheerful belles and pretty sleighs," he acids, aro abundant enough, and winter is, indeed, a merry time. SICKNESS IN THE ROYAL PAIIILY. We much regret to hear that her Majesty has been 1 suffering severely from neuralgia. This distressing malady has affected various parts of the body, and latterly lodged in the face. The Queen is but just recovering from the last attack. It is also sad to learn that the Prince of Wales has been indisposed. His Royal Highness had promised to pay a visit to Berkeley Castle. Lord Fitzhardinge had assembled a goodly company, and all was ready for - the enter tainment of the royal vi=itor, when a telegram came on Wednesday, anneuncalg that, through cold, the Prince could not undertake the journey. Great was ..... the disappointment at Berkeley. The Telegraph, ever anxious about the well-being of royal and imperial personages, inquired at Marl borough house between eleven and twelve o'clock on Thursday night, and'was informed that the Prince had gone out to a dinner party, and had not returned at that hour. THE COMMENCEMENT OF TTIE POLITICAL SEASON. The recess is nearly ended. Within a very short time—about ten days—the whole political world will be busy. Parliament meets on the Bth prox.. and signs of the approach of the session aro very.abun dant. The most unmistakeable indication is the issue by the leaders - of the call to arms—the sessional party circular in which the attendance of mem bers of both Houses is particularly re quested. Earl Granville leads the way in his note to the Liberal Peers. The noble earl asks for attendance on the Bth of February ; and urges that " matters of interest and importance will be brought into consideration." Mr. Gladstone does not issue his appeal until Monday. Neither of the Conservative leaders have vet moved. Meanwhile Ministers are returning fresh from the country to their work. The first Cabinet Council of the year was held yesterday. TIIR RECIPROCITY AGITATION. With-Sir Stafford Northeote's speech the agitation for reciprocity, so far as it has been a . party one—and such it has been in several districts — must expire. Lord Derby having also pronounced against the cry, Mr. Disraeli will be much too wise to give any great heed to it. Yet the question will doubtless be raised in the I - louse in the coming session; the attitude of the Lancashire Conserva tives, and the Conservative woiking men generally, shews that. Several Tory members are already pledged to "demand inquiry." One member at least owes his seat entirely to the position he has taken in this matter. How, then, will the Government act ? Will an inquiry be granted or refused ? If granted, in what form will it be made—by Royal Commission, or Committee of one or both Houses ? THE STATE OF TRADE. In addition to Sir Stafford Northcote's speech, con demnatory of the reciprocity agitation, two . other members of Parliament have been discussing the state of trade. Mr. Staveley llill, who is one of the leaders of the reciprocity movement, strongly urged, at a metropolitan meeting, the necessity for an inquiry into the working of our commercial policy. The member for Coventry agrees that the wealth of the country is materially increasing, but whilst " wealth accumulates, men decay." In the year preceding. the French treaty-1859---the value of imported manufactured goods was £6,884,000, while in 1868— seven years after the treaty—the value had risen to £20,696,000. This difference Mr. Staveley Hill regards as so much money taken out of the pockets of work ing men. If inquiry chews that he is wrong, he will, he promises, confess his error. Mr. Somerset Beau mont, member for 'Wakefield, is strongly in favour of free trade. He told the Wakefield Chamber of Corn- merce the other day that the present discussion in France was proving bow strong was the general feeling amongst the French on behalf of a liberal com mercial policy. So far from yielding to any uneasiness lest they should return :to the system of commercial protection, he thought the result of the discussion which was going on in France very likely to lead to an enlarged area of free trade, instead of diminishing it. CONSERVATISM IN SOUTH-WEST LANCASHIRE. Whilst addressing the Garston Working Men's Conservative Association, Mr. R. A. Cross, M.P. for South-West Lancashire, laid much stress upon the delusive hopes which, in his opinion, the present Government were raising in Ireland. Whilst no one had the slightest notion of what the Government measure would be, the Irish tenants and labourers were counting upon the most extravagant concessions. Mr. Cross knows one Irish servant who has left his occu pation in England, withdrawn his savings from the bank, and gone over to Ireland in order "to get his share of the land." "We have Mr. Bright's distinct avowal that you could not expect the country to be quiet so long as the land was in the hands of an alien race of Protestants, and that until that condition was destroyed you could not have peace." And yet Mr. Cross has reason to believe that the Government bill will be a very mild one, so that the policy at first announced will, in reality, not be carried out. The member for South-West Lanca shire is not satisfied with the working of the educa tional system, but he urges that it has already accom plished great things, and might be extended as fully as is required. There is no need, he says, for the League scheme. HUSH INTIMIDATION. That the intimidation complained of in Ireland is not altogether a myth is shewn by a remarkable case in the Dublin Court of Exchequer. It was an action for ejectment., and the counsel for the plaintiff applied that service upon the defendant should be sub stituted by sending a copy through the Post Office and advertising it in a local journal. He stated as a rea son for making the application that a bailiff could not be found in the county where the land is situate to serve the writ—although large remuneration had boon offered—owing to the state of feeling which exists. The landlord In this case can gat neither rent nor land, and ho cannot induce anybody to serve a writ. The refractory tenant has two farms, and the landlord wants only one, in which the occupier has no interest. The owner has in vain offered £2OO for quiet possession. Lastly, all names in connection with the action are suppressed in the reports, lest some persons who have received threatemngletters be exposed to greater danger. What next ? A WORD FOR IRISH LANDLORDS. An Irish priest writes to the Daily Express, de claring that whilst some landlords darken the country with their misdeeds, it is very wrong to refuse to recognise many bright examples of landlords under whom the tenants are peaceful and happy in the extreme , and who scorn to take advantage of in@tances Mr. Richard P9cles ABERDEEN UNIVERSITY. Sir William Stirling Maxwell has declined the Rectorship of Aberdeen University. The polling being equally divided between Sir William and Mr. Grant Duff, Under - Secretary for India, the decision rested with the Dike of Richmond, Chancellor of the University, who bestowed the post upon the first. But though each candidate polled an equal number of "nations," the majority of students were in favour of Mr. Grant Duff, and therefore Sir William Stirling Maxwell declines to become the Rector. THE EDUCATION MOVEMENT. The League agitation is carried on with great energy. Tho Nonconformists of Newport, in Mon mouthshire, have just• met and declared for free, secular, unsectarian, and compulsory education. They hold that the religious training now given in schools is of small value, and that the spiritual education of the young might safely be entrusted to the parent and the Christian Church. They think it impossible that rates can be levied for the support of sectarian teaching. The Bolton Leaguers also met on Thurs day night, and " demonstrated " in favour of theit programme. THE BALLOT IN AMERICA. The supporters of the ballot are making strenuous exertions to provide themselves with unquestionable arguments. America is, of course, the great field for inquiry, and to it the questioning eye is turned. Mr. John Stuart Mill's name is used to get answers to queries. With his commendation a note has been sent across the Atlantic requesting information. The result of these researches are few ani simple. No difference of opinion, we are told, exists in the minds of United States politicians ; they all believe the ballot a necessity. Men of all parties think it works well. It is quick, correct, convenient. Intimidation under it does not exist to any great extent ; and bribers are baffled. Yet it does not suppress all corruptly whatever. Much that is deplorable still works in America. The most serious evils, how ever, lie not with the people, but the legislators; the latteri not the former, can be intimidated and practi cally bribed ; and the legislators, be it noted. vote openly, not by ballot. TUE COMMAND IN INDIA. A great deal of speculation is put an end to by the announcement of the appointment of the Commander in-Chief of the Indian Army. Lord Napier of Mag dala is the happy successor to Sir William Mansfield. Whether he enters on his duties at once or Sir William is to be retained fbr a short time is not stated. A HEAVY SALARY. A " hard living " exists in Kent. The fey. J. Hall is the incumbent of Knockholt, near Sevenoaks. For 15 years he has held the living, and preached the doctrines of the Church of England. For his work, according to the Maidstone Journal, ho has had the magnificent endowment of £29 15s per annum. Much capital was made during the Irish Church controversy out of the bad salaries given in some cases, under the voluntary system to Dissenting Ministers. Nonconformists 1. would find it bard to reach so meagre a sum as that. A BREWER ON BEER. Now that a brewer in Liverpool bas taken up with much spirit the question of how many luna tics are Emit to the asylum by medical officers of workhouses through the effects of drink, we shall probably get a clue as to whether it is w;t - lz. the brewer or the publican that the adulteration of liquor takes places. A gentleman of high posi tion has analysed gratuitously samples of beer and wine sold at various low public houses in Liverpool, and he says if the beer is bad the wine is even worse. What Mr. Glover holds is this, and ho has doubtless been roused to indignation by the remarks made at temperance meetings with regard to adulteration by the brewers, to which fraternity he belongs—he holds that it is not drinking beer that is the cause of the present fearful state of things, but drinking bad beer, which badness, he says, is attributable to dis honest publicans, who put such ingredients in it 9.9 nux vomica and oil of vitriol. Mr. Glover, who expressed these sentiments at a meeting of guardians, insists " that the health committee ought to under take the duty of prosecuting the sellers of adulte rated liquor, just as they do the vendors of bad meat or fish." A RAILWAY COMPANY'S COMPLAINT. The Directors of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway draw attention in their report to what they consider the hardship of the present law on. Railway Companies. Referring to the New Cross acci dent they say it widely differs from those which may be attributed to want of reasonable precaution on the part of the management. Human agency is not infallible, and in the complicated working of an extensive railway a certain percentage of mistakes will occur with the best selected men. The directors complain that under the present law a class of men have grown up who make a trade of railway accidents, initiate and foster expensive litigations, and too often intercept from the sufferers a large part of the compensation which may be awarded.- They argue that under the existing law the temptation held out to fraud and imposition becomes irresistible. Whether these complaints are justified or not may be a matter of opinion. That, having already paid £45,000 on account of the New Cross accident, the directors speak feelingly on the subject ; there can be little doubt. • VAGUANCY AND PAUPERISM, Mr. W. Valiance, clerk to the Whitechapel Union, has presented to the Board of Guardians an interest• ing report on the vagrancy and pauperism of White chapel, which throws much light on the operation of the Rouseless Poor Act, and. goes to show how that Act has tended to increase per manently the pauperism of that particular union, and by the same inference that of the whole metropolis. Mr. Valiance begins with, the fact that on the 26th of December 1869, there were, in the union workhouse to which he refers, 1,013 paupers. He enumerates at length the different circumstances under which they were admitted, proving that there is at present a great army of moving paupers constantly, migrating from one house of refuge or workhouse to another. The fact of there being 188 nightly lodging- , houses for vagrants in that Union alone, maki n g u p no less than 6,337 beds, accounts for the large recruiting now going on in the permanent pauper' ranks. To remedy this, the writer of the report' suggests that some recognised official should have power to make " raids " upon the various casual wards of the metropolis, and give tickets of exemption from the morning " task of work " to bond fide wayfarers, proceeding to some fixed place of destination ; to order to the workhouse those' whom the magistrates might have power to remove to a place of legal settlement, or the last ascertained place of abode ; and to give into custody of the police those whose repeated applications in the same district rendered them liable to the charge of habitual vagrants. " Were the casual wards , ' says Mr. Valiance, " liable to such supervision; it would, I respectfully submit, lead to a speedy disorganisation' and disbandment of what may be reallysregarded as; the great recruiting force of greater paupx; army," [An enormous saving will be effected in plain, fancy, and commercial stationery, by dealing with the manufacturers, Perkins and Gotto, who receive the papers direct from the mill, and cut. press, and finish it upon the premises, employing up • wards of 110 hands.
