GLADSTONE AND THE FENIAN CONVICT The Saturday Review thinks Mr. Gladstone is greatly mistaken if he hopes to silence a single declaimer by his release of the Fenian prisoners. Tile residuary punish- • went of exile to countries beyond the reach of English tyranny will be quite as good a subject for complaint n 5 the fictiti ;US cruelties supposed to have been inflicted in gaol.- No sober-minded person believed that the seditious brawlers who a year ago clamoured for the remission of the sentences felt the smallest interest in the welfare of the convicts whose imprisonment they prolonged to the present time. It is easy to anticipate the grateful acknow ledgments of the treasonable Irish newspapers. It will be said that the Government, after satisfying a base spirit of vengeance, has at length yielded to terror. The • last batch of liberated convicts were invited by their admirers at Cork to an entertainment where they talked largely of rebellion, One of those who profit by the recent exercise of mercy was some months since elected for an Irish county, in defiance of the law and the Government. The convicts themselves will probably have had warning enough to induce them henceforth to avoid the clutches of the law. It would be too much to hope that their ex ample will deter imitators when on the next occasion dis content laboriously fostered bursts into open violence. It might have been hoped that a letter addressed to an ex- Lord Mayor of Dublin bore no reference to prisoners con victed of acts committed in England. One of the. prisoners was sentenced only a few months ago on the clearest evidence, and another was concerned in the monstrous crime which was perpetrated at the ex- . pease of the innocent inhabitants of Clerken well. It is discreditable to the • Government to treat so lawless an outrage as a political offence. The Government of the United States, at a time when the Confederates .were admitted to all the privileges of belligerents, rightly treated an alleged plot of incendiarism and plunder in New York as a civil crime. To acquire belligerent rights, insurgents must have an organised government and army ; to become-entitled to the qualified toleration which modern humanity accords to political acts of violence, it is at least necessary to contemplate a political revolution. The authors of the Clerkenwell explosion bad not even the hope or the wi 411 of superseding the local vestry. Until the release of the convicts in England was announced it would have been unjust to suspect the Government of meditating any similar dereliction of duty. The measure which ostensibly furnished occasion for Mr. Gladstone's letter probably originated with Mr. Chichester Fortescue, who has nothing to do with the course of justice in England. Even in Ireland, the tranquility which Mr. Gladstone notices has been produced neither by the abolition of the Irish Church, nor by the transfer of a portion of the pro• perty of the landowners to the tenants. The Peace Pro tection Act to a great extent frightened the conspirators, who are inaccessible to gratitude or to sense of justice. The release of the Irish Fenians will not conciliate their adherents ; but, if it could be safely granted, it may perhaps have been justifiable.

LEEDS TRADE REPORT, SATURDAY.--The woollen market was thinly attended ; fog made it impossible to choose from samples. Low tweeds for the spring an meltons were inquired for, but only by small buyers. Some fancy union coatings also changed hands. Some Londoners and Canadians are in the town,but they will not buy, and any parcels of size now trans ferred are carried to next year's account. Sonic goria good sales have taken place in the neighbourhood, to West of England buyers, and the demand from Scotland has been better, so that manufacturing operations will not be much in terrupted for some time, excepting Christmas holidays. The fine cloth trade is good, and the millowners report that alt the year they have kept up full *work. Same 01 the first firms are at Stanningly, where a new first class mill is beir , built to employ SCO people. A movement is set on foot against Christmas boxes, which are denOunced as bribes to those in the taking in rooms of the warehouses. There is also an agitation against post dating invoices in the woollen trade. Moreover, the new Bank ruptcy Law is universally condemned. The feeling is that now rogues have better chances than ever.

His descriptions of scenery in the Alps and of the Italian cities are exceedingly graphic, shewing much sympathy with nature, and a refined intelligence, Though the style of the book is somewhat sketchy, it is thoroughly readable, especially in the passages referring to the Council, which have in some degree the value of contemporary history."— Daily Telegraph. "Those who have followed the well-known route, and visited the spots described by Mr. Evill, are scarcely likely to add much to their fund of information by reading his lively sketches ; yet we are far from saying that the publication is superfluous. To gain knowledge is not the only object which induces a man or woman to take ap a new volume ; and if Mr. Evill does not add distinctly to our stock, ho has the art—a rare one—of placing familiar scenes in a fresh and agreeable light. . . . . The book has the merit of being thoroughly readable."—Pall Mall Gazette. "Having read the book through from cover to cover—of itself an eulogium from any reviewer—we could certainly not spare Mr. Evill's always animated, often graphic, and more than once or twice really eloquent descriptions, auy more than we could spare his account of the wonderful pageantry of the Papal func tions in Rome, and of the marvellous masterpieces in sculpture and painting scattered among the Palaces and Basilicas. . . . As a graphic delineator of the superb scenery and the renowned cities through which he made this winter journey, he has acquitted himself admirably well."—Sun. " The author has evidently a feeling for the beautiful and the picturesque, and describes what he saw in forcible and some times eloquent language. .. . Notwithstanding his well worn subject, Mr. Evill has produced an agreeable little volume, which may not unprofitably detain the reader."—Daily News. " There is no pretension whatever about the book of travels, and though it relates very little of what is new, it tells of nothing that is uninteresting, vapid, or dull. To the truthfulness of its descriptions of places and works of art we can thoroughly testify, and assure our readers that such of them as arc meditating an Italian tour could not possibly do better than furnish themselves with a copy."—Bell's Weekly Messenger. " Mr. Evill's visit to Rome was opportunely timed to enable him to witness the great gathering of prelates in attendance at the opening of the (Ecumenical Council ; his journey was accomplished with great rapidity, but his hasty en route sketches are lively and amusing."—Record. " In this pleasant little book we have an abundance of inter esting matter, such as a professed bookmaker might extend into the'compass of two goodly volumes ln the very first page we are satisfied with the book, and are engrossed with its contents We recommend the entire little volume as well to readers as to intending tourists in search of continental information."—News of the World. "The ground was all now to Mr. Evill, and, in spite of the season of the year, he saw it under peculiarly favourable cir cumstances. He has an eye quick to see, and a pen that enables him to tell right pleasantly, and not a little vividly, what he has seen. . . . . Mr. Evil was fortunate enough, in company with his friend, Mr. Charles Kent, the poet, to see the pro cession in St. Peter's, ou the opening day of the Vatican CounciL His description of it is very graphic."—Western Morning News. " Italy has been described to the reading world again and again, and, therefore, the charm of Mr. Evill's book is not the charm of novelty, but it has a charm. There is a fresh, inge nuous manner, that appeals to the reader. The author records his impressions and describes minutely the beauty of the Italian scenery without a thought of the travellers who have gone before. Some passages, descriptive, are really excellent. Tho exterior and interior of Milan cathedral are put before us in glowing terms, and the long ceremonies of the opening of the (Ecumenical Council are forcibly described. His description of Venice is excellent. Mr. Evill's word-painting is far above the average of such descriptions. We are sure that readers, after a perusal of this book, will have a vivid impression of the scenery described, and be grateful to Mr. Evill for his pleasant recollec tions."—Lloyd's Weekly News. "Accuracy of description will cause this little book to be read, and probably enjoyed, by those Englishmen and English women whom necessity keeps at home year after year . . The profits are to be given to a charity, and we heartily wish it every success, and think that many untravelled Englishman will find something to interest them in Mr. Evill's "Winter Journey to Rome."—The Examiner. "This little volume, containing, together with careful descrip tions of places and cities, an account of the opening of the (Ecumenical Council, it is worthy of notice, is dedicated, not in irony or without permission, but in friendship and with full authority, by a Protestant to a Roman Catholic. There may be many worse preparations for a visit to the city which still is queenlike, if no longer queen, than a perusal of this unpreten tious, but instructive volume ; and the author's remarks touching that Church, the services and worship of which serve to make up the entire life of modern Rome may grieve, but wl4l not affront, a liberal Roman Catholic, and may command the assent, but will not shock the better feelings, of a Liberal Protestant." — Illustrated London News.

MIDNIGHT MEETING MOVEMENT. Office, 5, Red Lion-square, W.C., London. —During the last 10 years this Institution has been instrumental in rescuing a vast number of poor girls from a life of degradation and misery. The plan adopted has been to seek the wanderers in the streets of London and gather them together at the midnight hour, when short and faithful addresses have been given. During the present year the Meetings have been held nearly every week in some of the most frequented districts of the metropolis. The promoters have abundant evidence that these efforts have been most suceessful in effecting a great moral change in many fallen ones. To enable them to continue their important work, FUNDS are earnestly solicited, and will be thankfully received by Mr. John Stabb, Hon.

MV CONTEMPT OF COURT.—We understand that Vice- Chancellor Bacon has committed to Holloway Prison two gentlemen and two married ladies, sisters of the two gentlemen, for contempt of Court, in conspiring to marry a young lady, ward of the Court of Chancery, to one of the two gentlemen. The ward and her intended husband had succeeded in reaching Scotland, but before any mar riage was celebrated the parties, under legal advice, returned to England and submitted themselves to the Court. We believe that the ward is possessed of consider able property.—Law Journal. THE SAXON CHURCH, WHITTINGHAM.—The upper stages of the Saxon tower of the church at Whittingham, in Northumberland, illustrated by Hickman, were des troyed in a restoration of the church, which took place in 1840. The works undertaken at that period at this in teresting church did not - comprise the chancel, which was erected in the most debasad style temp. Queen Anne. Lord Ravelisworth, whose seat, Eslington Park, is in the parish, has resolved to restore the chancel in a manner commensurate with the extent and dignity of the rest of the fabric. Approved designs have been made by Mr. F. H. Wilson, architect, Alnwick, and the works are to be forthwith carried out.—Builder. --- A number of gentlemen met on Friday at the re sidence of Mr. E. Hudson, whose services in connection with the Dublin Exhibition Palace are well known, to present him with a piece of plate. Amon those present were :—The Duke of Leinster, the Lord Mayor of Dublin, the Hon. John P. Vereker, Sir John Barrington, Mr. Ste ens, Mr. Allen, Mr. Russell, Mr. Stewart, Mr. Colquhoun, Mr. Fry, Mr. Switzer, Mr. Drummond, Mr. Johnston, Mr. E. Fottrell, and Mr. Anketell. The Duke of *luster, in presenting the testimonial, stated h e h a d been connected with the Dublin Exhibition Palace Company from its formation to its close, and had the greatest pleasure in bearing his testimony to the able and judicious manner in which Mr. Hudson had discharged his very difficldt and respon sible professional duties. lie had the greatest pleasure and satisfaction in presenting, on behelf of the subscribers that testimonial to Mr. Hudson which he had justly earned. Mr. Hudson returned thanks at considerable length, and acknowledged the high honour conferred on him. The Spectator asks what possible or imaginable goo( could a National Assembly just now do in France? We entirely admit that the Sovereign power in France, as in England, rightly belongs to such an Assembly, but what use could there be in invoking the Sovereign power just now ? Suppose that it removed the two chiefs of the national movement, or limited their autocracy, that would he only a misfortune, mid would tend directly to diminish the vigour of the defence. Or suppose it supported Trochu and Gambetta, what would they on behalf of the national movement, appear to gain? A better title to obedience ? What better title can they conceivably have than an obedience so voluntary and so universal that it amounts to a plebiscite of the most splendid kind, a plebiscite delivered in the face of the enemy and under penalty of endless suffering? All France is obeying Troche and Gambetta, the very men who run away acknowledae their authority, mid even the Alsatians, who know they will be marked men for life, will for years to come be exposed to punishment from their new rulers, throng to the standard of the Genose who is defending France in such numbers that the Germans have to punish their families in order to strike terror. What better title to rule a .nation can there he than the national will, or what other title does King William plead to the Kaisership of Germany ? By every law human or divine know n among men, M. Gambetta has a right to defend his country, and to lead other coan trymen willing to follow in that work of defence, and that is all he is doing. Insurrection against the foreigner has always been held by Englishmen a duty as well as a right, and he is leading an insurrection against the foreigner as much as ever Hofer or Daniel Manin were, fir more than Washington was. Is his moral positron changed because he has created great armies instead of little bands, or because, instead of failing, he will, in all human probability, succeed ? Or is it altered because the enemy is a great one, a highly organized State, inhabited by highly-trained soidiers, directed by Generals of the first capacity ? Is it lawful to rebel against all invaders save such as happen to wear spectacles ? To say that he is compelling France to defend herself against her will is the silliest calumny. If a district chooses to disobey, what is to prevent it ? If an army chooses to arrest him, what hinders it ? If a town shuts its gates on him, and proclaims peace, where is its liability ? He has pre cisely the title of the House of Hanover to the throne of England, namely, the will of the people, given of neces sity, and under exceptional circumstances through irregular forms. MR. BRIGHT'S RETIREMENT. The Economist remarks that the retirement of Mr. Bright from the Cabinet, owing to failing health, will give all its older readsrs a peculiar feeling of sadness. A new generation is attaining life and vigour to whom the " Anti- Corn Law League " is a matter of history. If you chance to speak of it as " the League," as we always used to speak of it, they ask " what League?" But the great majority of active men still remember the details of that great agitation, the triumphs of "Drury Lane and Covent Garden" meetings, and how Mr. Bright's voice rung full and penetrating, second in power only to one, if second to any, over those great open stages. That Mr. Bright has to abandon active administration will come home to many as an unwelcome hint that it is time for them to give up themselves. If Mr, Bright has been somewhat miscon conceived in his own time, he will probably have the com pensation of being—we may risk a prophecy—of all our own contemporary politicians the best known to posterity. His speeches are very amusing reading, and, as a rule, those are best known to posterity who can amuse posterity. Nothing can in general be more fleeting than the fame of an orator. A great Budget speech is heard with the most eager attention, and criticisd at the time with vehement interest. But who cares for it a few years afterwards? Who but a very few economical inquirers has the slightest remembrance of the financial speeches of Pitt or Peel? But there is a certain mixture of racy fun and sentiment in Bright's speeches which make them capital reading even now—reading which you can read when you are tired, but which yet has something in it ; and this is the sort of literature which travels farthest and lives longest. We are not now reviewing Mr. Bright's career. It is not yet closed. Though we trust he will never again att ton? emp s t administrative labours, we dope that his peaceful may often be heard again in the great assemblages of his countrymen. If we had to sketch his life, there would be so mething to blame as well as m uch to praise. But w e need not go into that now. We have only to express , our regret at his retirement, and to wonder at the strange dispensations of Providence which mixed a fine, and to some extent incapacitating, thread of nervous delicacy soin a mind so healthy , so vigorous, and on most points emphatically robust. ARMOUR OF OUR IRON-CLADS. -- In the turret ships Thunderer and Devastation, we have eleven and twelve inches of armour. Ships for sea-going purposes have been designed to carry fifteen inches of armour, and the Admiralty are in possession of designs for a turret ship with sides plated with fifteen inches, and turrets with eighteen inches of armour. Nor do we even stop here, for the late Chief Constructor of the Navy prepared outline designs of ships to carry twenty-nine inches of armour both on broadside and turrets.—.Pronz " Our Iron clad Navy," in the Cornhill Magazine for January. THE LIEUTENANT-GOVERNORSHIP OF BENGAL. — This important office, we are enabled to state, is about to be filled by the appointment of Mr. George Campbell, of Edenwood. The office is one of the highest and most arduous of any office in the gift of the British, or, indeed, any other Crown. The Lieutenant - Governor o f Ben g al is sole ruler over 38,000,000 of population, a much greater number than is comprised in any of the other Governor ships of India, or in any of the European States, ex cepting Russia. At this time too, the duties o f the office are more than ordinarily difficult, several very large and difficult Bengal questions standing unsettled. The appointment is a high testimony to be confirmed, it may confidently be hoped, by the r esults—to Mr. Campbell's conspicuous energy, courage, and sagaeit.y.— Scotsman.

At the London Mansion House on Friday, Mr Rayner, a gentleman charged with having unlawfully converted to his own use biils of exchange valued at £2,000, was discharged, his accuser having failed, and left the country.

Goods have also been sent out to a considerable amount without the know ledge of tne principal, who has been ill for seine time. The culprit has confessed all. Mr. and Mrs. Gosohen spent an hour Lv.:t Sunday in visiting Lambeth workhouse, their attention having probably been drawn to that establishment by the recent severe remarks of Lord Chief Justice Cockburn respect ing it, which the board deeply regret, Mr. White, a vestry man. having found "everything as clean and nice as could possibly be imagined."

The Pia says that the fishing season sit 1870 has been one of the worst on record, and want of water has been one of the principal causes for this.
