Flax and hops appear to be more universally grown than formerly, but two-thirds of the latter are confined to one county—Kent. As rega,rds live stock, a decrease in the number has taken place. Owing to the failure of turnips in 1868, sheep and cattle have been reduced, and pigs have suffered from disease. The decrease in pigs since 1867 is more than one million. Ireland, however, spews an increase in this respect. It is generally supposed that pigs are very numerous in Ireland, but the fact is that the average number kept in that country is much the same per 100 acres as it is in England. i 1 - ( I" .

The Scotsman states that Ministers are still very anxiously discussing the state of Ireland, and that the Cabinet are divided upon a very important point. The Irish Executive presses for the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act ; hesitation is shewn on the sub ject by a large proportion of the Downing-street Council. Naturally, the Government does not wish to suspend the Constitution again if it can help it. This statement of the Scotsman makes the Pall Mall Gazette's theory all the more probable : that the Government has prepared a Land Bill for Ireland which will incense all the ex treme men across the Channel, and that some prepa ration to meet any outbreak which may be attempted is necessary. It is confidently stated that a division on the Address will be taken on Ireland. The Opposition will charge the Government with causing disaffection. PICTURE GALLERIES.

ONE OF THE CANDIDATES FOR MALLOW. Major Knox is one of the candidates for Mallow. He has been roughly classed by the press as a Conser vative ; but it is not certain that the term properly describes him; and the Irish journals are asking, What are his politics ? This much is known, that last session he would have been classed as a Conser vative, for he opposed the Irish Church Bill ; but what will he be this year, if returned for Mallow ? The session of last year is gone, and the contest dead ; what will he do in the future ? The only clue we have to his opinions is the policy . of his paper—the Irish Times. Now, that journal has called itself at various periods very lately Tory, Liberal, Liberal Conservative, Conservative Liberal, Repealer, supporter of Ascendancy, and Nationalist. Major Knox seems to combine all the various shades of political belief. He was on Monday proposed by a Conservative, and seconded by a Nationalist.. Con tradictory opinions are often reconcilable; but it is hard to reconcile all those of the Major. MR. ODGER'S CANDIDATURE. The last pro-Odgerite meeting in Southwark was -very influential. Various advanced members of Par liament sent letters declaring their sympathy with the working man's candidature. Mr. Clay, M.P. for Huil, expressed his anxiety for Mr. Odger's success, " not so much because I respect his unquestionable ability as because I am sincerely desirous to see the working classes directly represented in the House of Commons by some men of their own body." Mr. M'Cullagh Torrens sent a contribution to Mr. Odger's election expenses, and gave it as his opinion that the exclusion of any class of educated and indus trious men from the House of Commons was a bad thing for the country. Sir C. W. Dine wrote justifying the determination of the working man not to submit to a preliminary ballot. Professor Fawcett was present at the meeting, and referred to Mr. Odger's speeches during the American War as proof that he was a competent person to represent a constituency in Parliament. It would be as unreasonable, he said, to ask that the House of Commons should be filled with artisans as to demand that its present constitution of bankers, merchants, lawyers, and soldiers should undergo no change. GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS. Captain Price, M.P. for Tewkesbury, told an anec dote of Mr. Baxter, Secretary to the Admiralty, at a political banquet the other night. Mr. Baxter had found various remarkable evidences of queer bar gaining at the dockyards. The Government had been paying a cotton price for biscuit bags, which were made of nothing else than jute. They had also been laying in a large quantity of salt beef at 7d. per pound, the same quality which he himself had purchased for his own ships at 4d. Still stranger were the proceedings with regard to wheat. This necessary had always been supplied by the same firm, although others in the trade sent samples. On examination, Mr. Baxter found that the samples of the contracting firm usually con tained a few grains of mustard-seed, so as to render identification easy to some person or other. The mustard-seed sample was always selected, no matter what the price might be. In addition to these encouraging revelations of the mode in which the country's business is done, Captain Price informed his listeners that the Chancellor of the Exchequer is considering a proposition to reduce the duty on third class railway tickets. TEE PATENT LAWS. The advocacy by two such men as the Earl of Derby and Sir Roundell Palmer of the abolition of the Patent Laws would of necessity attract attention; and they make out so plausible a case that those who do not go so far as themselves are mystified. For this state inquiry is the only cure, and investigation is the course advocated by the various bodies through out the country. The Liverpool Chamber of Com merce has been discussing the subject; a special committee to report was appointed ; and the gen tlemen composing it have resolved to memorialise the Government and the House of Commons. A. House of Commons committee would meet the wants of the Liverpool Chamber. IMPROVED STATE OF THE COTTON TRADE. At the annual meeting of the Manchester Chain ber of Commerce, Mr. J. M. Bennett, the president, congratulated the members on the present prospects of the cotton trade. He said they wore much brighter than at this time last year. The consumption of cotton, he remarked, had very much increased. He believed that more cotton was grown during the last season all over the world than during any previous season ; yet the consumption had gone on in an equal if not greater 'rate. He pointed to the goods' traffic receipts of the railway companies as a sure index of a revived. trade. He anticipated, he said, that for half a dozen years to come the normal price of cotton would not be under one shilling a pound, owing to the increased demand. If this probability were sufficiently appreciated, he believed that confidence throughout the country would be greatly improved. STATE AID FOR EMIGRATION. It is unfair to treat the project of State-assisted emigration as altogether a new thing. It appears that in 1819, Mr. Vansittart, afterwards Lord Bexley, obtained from the House of Commons a vote of £50,000 for emigration purposes. With this money 4,000 distressed persons of the artizan class were despatched to Algoa Bay, where they became the founders of the community which now occupies the eastern provinces of Cape Colony, On the other hand, it is none the less true that simi lar propositions have been declined within the reach of younger memories. In 1843 Colonel Torrens had persuaded himself that the country was in a declining state, and that the only remedy lay in systematic colonisation. He proposed to raise a loan of twenty millions on the credit of colonial land sales. The theory was stoutly discussed, one of the Colonel's chief opponents being Mr. G. W. Nor man, who argued that periods of distress were con stantly occurrimr, and that the depression of 1843 was to be referred to temporary circumstances. Nothing came of Colonel Torrens's scheme, and others like it have shared the same fate. SELF-SUPPORTING EMIGRATION. Colonel Maude, R.A., read' a paper at a meet ing of the Royal Colonial Society on "Self-sup porting Emigration." He started with a quotation from Mr. J. S. Mill, who had stated that colonisation was the very best investment of the capital of an ancient and wealthy country. The gallant colonel observed that we had the power of planting new colonies, to which we might send out men whose labour was not needed at home, while it would in these new countries become productive, and open up fresh markets for our manufactures. His plan was to lend the labourer money to enable him to emigrate, and at the end of seven years, by a series of easy payments, become the pro prietor say of one hundred acres of good land. Colonel Maude expressed his opinion that the statement which had been made that the colonies would not receive our poor was erroneous. He believed they would not only take our poorest class, but under proper regulations, our criminals also. Lord Bury said the difficulty was that those who were to be assisted to emigrate were the artizans whom we should keep at home. If a scheme were proposed which would relieve the ratepayers of the country, it might be the duty of the Government to aid it. AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS. Mr. A. W. Fonblancjue's report to the Board of Trade of the Agricultural returns for Great Britain, the colonies, &c., for the year 1869 is doubtless as correct as it can be reasonably expected to be while occupiers of land throughout the kingdom have the power—which they often exercise—of refusing to accommodate any inquirers with respect to the produce of their farms. In such cases the only plan is to make an estimate, which as far as many details are concerned—such as the acreage of pasture and. arable land will be tolerably accurate. By the present statistics we learn that the total number of acres under cultivation in the United Kingdom, in 1869, shows an increase of 447,608 when compared with 1868. 'ln Ireland no less than 71 per cent. of the land under green crops ....as under potatoes, and 22 per cent. under turnips. Potatoes have been more largely grown in England of late years, but still, the amount of laud.devotod to that purpose: is_ only one-half 01 THE WELSH FASTING GIRL. The Government feel that the case of the Welsh fasting girl cannot be passed over without further, inquiry. A. magisterial investigation has beer; ordered to take place before the trial of the girrs father for manslaughter. All the medical, men who wore connected with the case will give evidence. They will not be able to tell us anything new about the cause of death, for we know that the girl was starved, but we may get a clearer idea as to the persons most to blame. THE BIBLE AND NATIONAL EDUCATION. A meeting has been held in London for the pur pose of establishing a branch in connection with the National Education League. Mr. Joseph Guedalla, the chairman, quoted a report of the Inspectors. of Schools to shew that one half of the children of the working classes at present receive no education whatever. He thought that the Birmingham Leagu e was wrong i n making a compromise with the Manchester Union on the ques tion of sectarian or unsectarian education. A resolu-. tion was moved embodying the universal principles of the advantages of a system of national education, and , an amendment was proposed by Mr. Jenkins " That the Bible be read in all schools, but not commented ! upon." This sentiment met with hisses an& interrogation, on which the chairman observed that; nobody objected to the Bible. A. second resolution, being moved and carried, to the effect that the system should be "compulsory, wholly unsectarian,' and free," the Rev. Daniel Canty, a Roman Catho-, lie priest, obtained leave to speak. He declared that he was ashamed of the meeting for hissing a senti-. ment that the Bible should be read in the schools. At this there was considerable dissatisfac tion, and a denial that the Bible had ever been hissed i there. The rev. gentlema n wen t on t o war n the : meeting that any system of education which wa§ other than religious would be met . with the most determined opposition on the part of two millions of. Roman Catholics in this country, and twelve millions in other parts of the empire. 1.11 k: MANCHESTER EDUCATION UNION. A. meeting has been held at Liverpool to receive a deputation from the National Education Union. The Mayor, who presided, said that the two schemes, 4 the Union and the League, could scarcely be called rivals, as they were both schemes for good,; but of the two ho advocated the denominational system. Lord Howard of Glossop then addressed the meeting on behalf of the Manchester Union. He said.' they were not the pioneers of an attack ing army, but rather the firm defenders of an important fortress which was being attacked. rho invaders were men of great ability and long. . pockets, and their object was to overturn the system of education which has hitherto been carried on in this country. The League based its experience of what ; ought to be done, or what is done, on what is done in foreign countries, but the matters brought forward ware not trustworthy. This was not a time to give up the teaching of religion as a part of education. The system of the League if carried out would be one of police supervision and espionage only known on the Continent. THREATENING LETTERS. The threatening letter nuisance is spreading. It has most recently attacked an advocate in a law case at Dublin. Dr. Battersby, Q.C., employed as counsel for plaintiff in an ejectment case, has been warned that if he appears he will be shot. This' is the first time that an advocate has been threatened; and Dr. Battersby has laid the letter before the Irish Court of Queen's Bench. The judges, however, could do nothing ; for the defendant denied know ledge of the case, and the letter writer was not known. Their lordships could only join in al denun ciation of the deed. Mr. Butt, Q.C., the advocate for the defendant, and the " advanced" lawyer of the I Dublin bar, spoke as warmly as anyone against the i letter. nu su FOXHOUNDS. The poisoning of foxhounds in Ireland is incoming a more common form of outrage. It was at first confined to Kilkenny ; now packs in the counties of Limerick and Meatli are being treated in the same way. A. few days since Sir David Roche received an anonymous warning not to hunt with the Limerick foxhounds in the direction of a certain part of that county. The animals were hunted with on Friday rather near the suspected locality,' and the next day they were taken sick. TEE " TIMES " COMMISSIONER AND lIIS OPPONENTS." The Times' Commissioner on the Land Question has been very vigorously assailed in Ireland. His theories have been laughed at, his facts questioned, and his general truthfulness denied. Lord Oranmore and; Browne recently brought a sweeping charge against' him. In reply the Commissioner challenged they lord to substantiate even one case. No letter froml Lord Oranmore having appeared, it was concluded that lie had given the matter up ; but now he writes' to another London journal :—" I replied to the chal lenge of the Times Commissioner by return of post" showing the incorrectness of some of his facts, as well as the absence of any good foundation for many of hid assertions; but the Times did not think well to pub lish my letter." This, it mustbe admitted, is hardly fair treatment. TICE ST. PANCRAS DIRT-HEAP. , . It is impossible to say when matters in bt. Pancras. will arrive at their worst. One would have thought: that stage had been re a ched long ago ; but each succeeding week reveals fresh treasures of they guardian mind" and fresh beautiei of local l management. It may be instructive to recapitulate' the various additions which have lately been made' to the dirt-heap of this famous parish. Everybody has heard of the outcry caused by the shocking state' of the St. Pancras Infirmary—the overcrowding, eel rats, the, foul closets, the bad ventilation. - The' Guardians found themselves unable to deny the facts: There could be no doubt that the state of the infir= mary was disgraceful. Therefore the parish func tionaries straightway lodged a charge against Dr: Ellis, who had been strenuous in his endeavours to' reform the arrangements, to the effect that he, by, closing the ventilators, and by other expedients h had. purposely brought about this discreditable state of things, in order to disgrace the guardians. An enquiry was ordered, which has just been concluded. The local magnates, however, have found ',fresh' matter for investigation. They charge Dr: Ellis' with immoral conduct with one of the infirma ry nurses. Dr. Ellis charges them with pressino. her to extort a confession against him. Tife nurse attempted to commit suicide, and Dr. E_llis affirms that it was in consequence of her sham ,at! confessing to an accusation which was not true. ThQ guardians say that Dr. Ellis and his solicitor went' to the bedside of the nurse previously to her examina-' tion before the magistrates, and " virtually prevented a true account being given of her attempted suiCiae.", Such is the present position of affairs. The labyrinth of foulness seems perfect, but it would be hazardous P . say, after recent experience, that the men of Pancras are not capable of improving upon DEATHS Er 0 L STARVATION. A. coroner's jury at Mile-endi London, has re turned three plain, unmistakeable verdicts that May be the moans of effecting good, though their tenour is a record of disgrace. In • one day no fewer than three cases of starvation were brought before the coroner. The deceased were all men beyond middle age. In two cases the unvarnished verdict of " Death from starvation" was returned, and in the third it was found that "death had been accelerated by want of rood." Mr. iiumphreys did not utter any novel sentiment when he observed that it was a relief to get to the end of the list, and that the sufferinr , disclosed was dreadful to think of. Dreadful to think of, indeed, but preventible. Ono of the men starved to death was on the parish pay and allowance of bread, divided between himself, his wife, and family. It was not enough for all, so the only question was which should 'be self-denying and be the first victim. Another man was not the fortunate recipient of parochial bounty, and died because ho had had "nothing whatever to eat for some days ;" while in the third case a man " with only skin on his ribs, to which it adhered like parchment," had said before he died that "he had been knocking about with nothing to eat or to do." It is noticeable that all these wretched men should have allowed themselves to starve, w hen the commission of any felonious or criminal act would have at least given them sufficient prison fare. Is this to be attributed to virtue, or to a sullen indifference that is generated in these paupers by the miseries they undergo? lost veu
