NEWS. " THE MELANCHOLY OCEAN."' Mr. Disraeli's celebrated explanation of Irish discontent is considered by . the Saturday Review as not merely a joke. Half the misery and two-thirds of the discontent of Irishmen are attributed to their imaginative faculty. The usual gaiety of the Irish man seems to be entirely gone. The ocean has come between Ireland and England, and has done the former country a great wrong. Mr. Disraeli's epigram is considered nearer the truth than "Mr. Gladstone's generous statesmanship." Our contemporary asks what would have been the strength of Irish nationality or the vehemence of Irish antagonism in England if every Irish child born here in hopeless poverty had been adopted and trained by the State. Let us hope that a time may yet come when the distinctive nationality of the two peoples shall not be marked by incessant feud, as is now the case in the manufacturing and agricultural districts where they come together, and that the celebrated caution "No Irish need apply " may be a relic of the past. RUMOUR AND FACT. Burnout. still provides a deal of interesting reading. Mr. Disraeli's forthcoming appointments have excited a large amount of attention, and much gratuitous indignation has been expended on the head of the one who (as it happens) does not intend to make over a dozen peers. The whole rumour, it seems, arose from a few knighthoods and baronet cies. These the Premier seems to make off hand. Four baronets were gazetted on Friday night, and the intention to make a couple of knights given forth at the same time. Now two more knights are announced—Colonel Frith., of Ileckmondwike, and Mr. Louis Mallett, C. 8., Assistant-Secretary to the Board of Trade. Besides these, Viscount Gormanston has been raised to the peerage of the United Kingdom by the title of Baron Gonnanston, of Whitewood, in the county of Meath. The Standard, however, believes this to be the last of ilhe peerage creations. 110U3IANIA. The state of affairs in the Danubian Principalities has lately become the first political question in Europe. Then) can be no doubt that warlike preparations and intrigues on the most extensive scale are being carried on by Prince Charles and his advisers. Lord Stanley, in his speech a' Lynn, gave his constituents to understand that an out. break in Roumania was all but inevitable ; the Austrian Red Book contains similar testimony, and so do the official papers of Prussia. The policy of the Prussian Cabinet is decidedly hostile to these intrigues, because the aggran• disement of Roumania means the weakening of Hungary, and Hungary is looked upon as a valuable counterpoise to the German element in Austria. The Indepenclance Beige says that King William has written to Prince Charles, strongly advising him to change his advisers, and that the Emperor Napoleon has been informed of this step. If the Cabinets of Paris, Berlin, and Vienna are agreed upon a repressive policy, an eruption of this political volcano may be staved off for some time. The same paper says that the relations between France and Prussia become more and more satisfactory. BATTENING. Battening has not altogether died out in Sheffield. The lawless ones have been exposed but not suppressed Another dispute with the saw-grinders has produced another case of the union taking the law into its own hands. It appears that three men who had a dispute with the union had their bands stolen six months ago, but refused to come to terms. Now the severer step has been resorted to of cutting the bands into strips, so as to make them useless. THE WIGAN EXPLOSION. It has yet to be discovered w h e th e r th e t err ibl e colliery explosion at Wigan is to be attributed to the absence of due precaution. It will be remembered that some little time ago the Express warned miners of the extraordinary height of the barometer and the probable reaction, and it is rather remarkable that so soon afterwards this explosion should have taken place. Mr. Negretti has advised the constant use of a barometer to test the atmospheric pressure, and, as usual, all sorts of suggestions are being made as to precautionary measures. It is not too much to say that the appliances of science and skill are not made the most of in these and other fruitf u l sources of calamity .. Railway accidents, boiler explo sions, and similar misfortunes, all tend to prove this. Anything which promotes economy meets with ser i o us and careful attention ; the sugg es ti ons f or the safety of human life are taken up f or a ti me an d forgotten. Here is a noble field fo r some honour able member in the next Parliament, if he will take this subject under consideration. It is more worthy of attention than the Jesuits, the personal consistency of statesmen, and other crotchets which 31.P.'s ride as hobbies. INSURANCE FRAUDS. A strange case has just been heard in the Court of Exchequer, which disclosed, as Mr. Baron Martin said, one of the grossest att em pt s a t ex t or ti on ever introducedinto a court of law. In form it was an issue directed by Vice-Chancellor Wood to be tried in that court, testing the validity of the claim of a Mrs. 'Litton, one of the defendants, as assignee of two policies of insurance effected in regard of a public-house in the .Farringdon-roacl, Clerkenwell, called The Cobham's Head, and which was burned down upon the evening of the 12th of December, 1866. The amount of the claim under the two policies was about £4,300, namely, £42,600 upon the house, and £1,700 upon the stock-in-trade, fixtures, furniture, &c. The plaintiffs were the London and Lancashire Insurance Company. The pith of the evidence was that the house contained no furniture or stock, and that the fire was the result of arson. The defendants' counsel declined to call any evidence, and the plaintiffs' counsel suggested to any of the defendants in court the propriety of shewing a clean ir of heels at once. One of them took the hint. _..T 4 luck° remarked that arson wad. !""' nangmg orrenee, - ana - was stns pumsname vntn penal servitude for life. The documents were impounded. Tho affair ought now to be investigated in a criminal court, and the police should be sent off with a warrant for the apprehension of the parties whom Mr. Hawkins allowed a fair start. ~. -~ j THE FAILURE OF THE The Economist contains a telegram from its Paris correspondent as follows :—" A meeting has been held of the Immobiliere Company. The losses are stated to amount to 4520,000, being an excess of £1,820,000 over capital. The union of the Credit Mobilier and the Inunobiliere Companies has been recommended by the directors, but no vote has been taken." LITERATURE, &C. We learn from the Athenceum that a new work by Professor Gervinus, on Handel and Shakespeare, is creating great interest abroad.—Herr Freiligrath, the German poet, so long resident in England, his definitely settled at Stuttgardt.—Professor Reinhold Pauli, the German historian of England, has been elected to the - Upper Chamber of the North German Parliament, as member for the University of Marburg. —A firman has been granted for a new English paper in Constantinople, to be called the Levant Times. The Orchestra contains the following :—Mr. Costa has been on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Wellington, the past week, at Strathfieldsaye. We e glad to know that he is restored to his wonted good health.—A correspondent at Boston sends word that Leotard fell from the trapeze on the evening of the 11th instant, and sprained his ankle so badly that he probably will be unable to perform for five or six months.—Victor Hugo contributes an etching to a forthcoming volume, " Sonnets et Eaux-fortes." The poet is a zealous amateur artist, and drawings by him are frequently seen in his friends' houses. One of them, representing John Brown of Ossawattomie on the gallows, was published as a lithograph some years ago.—lt is reported that the Boucicaults are about to retire from the stage. SPAIN. The province of Galicia has declared for a constitutional monarchy. Meetings have been held in all the large towns, demanding the immediate convocation of the Cortes, and the establishment of a definite Government. The people of We maritime province complain greatly that commerce suffers by the uncertainty which now vrevaile. ERUPTION OP MOUNT ETNA. The outbreak of Mount Vesuvius has been accompanied by the much rarer event of a convulsion of the great Sicilian volcano. The British vice-consul at Catania telegraphs that at five o'clock on Friday evening a magni ficent eruption of Mount Etna broke from the summit. Etna is twice as high as Vesuvius, and, like all largo volcanoes, its eruptions are few in number, and generally very violent. This is the seventh outbreak during the present century. In 1830 several villages were destroyed, and showers of lava reached near to Rome, a distance of some 300 miles. In 1832 the town of Bronte was destroyed. The last eruption began in February 1865, and lasted until the followinar July. MR. REVEHDY JOHNSON AS AN ANTI-SLAV/MOLDER. Attention is called in the Anglo-American Times by the " Father Dickson " of Mrs. Stowe's " Died' to the well-marked anti-slavery character of Mr. Reverdy Johnson's opinions. Many former American Ambassadors have—as Mr. Stevenson and Mr. Dallas—been either themselves slaveholders, or in sympathy with the slaveholding party. Mr. Adams was an exception to this, and now we have Mr. Johnson, whose speech made against slavery created much noise at the time. Ho declared in it that !slavery was founded neither on morals nor on Christianity, and he pronounced against the Southern Confederacy, on the ground . that it was intended to perpetuate the system obtain ing in the South. Twenty years since Mr. Johnson defended a minister who was charged with aiding a slave to escape. A slave woman escaped from Mary land, the State in which Mr. Reverdy Johnson resided, and which he represented in the United States Senate. The Rev. C. T. Torrey was arrested and tried for aiding in the escape. The anti-slavery friends, knowing that he would be tried by a slave-holding judge and a slave-holding jury, determined to secure the servi ces in his defence of the ablest legal advocate in Mary land, as the only hope of saving him from prison ; and they were successful in obtaining those of Mr. Reverdy Johnson, the present Ambassador. But his influence and knowledge and eloquence were unavailing. Mr. Torrey was sent to prison, and died in prison. THE NEW MIN.IBTItr. " Speculation is rife," as the phrase goes, concern ing the new Ministry. Amongst the latest stories there is one that. the Duke of Somerset is likely to take office again as First Lord of the Admiralty. But many of these rumours are mere guesses. The • appointments which cause most gossip are the legal ones—who is to be Lord Chancellor ? who Attorney- General ? and who Solicitor-General ? It has been said that Si William Page Wood would be made Lord Chancellor; but, though a clever man, he is by no moans the debater which the Lord Chief Justice of England is. He would be no match for Lord Cairns. And so the Lord Chief Justice is:pointed out as the future occupant of the woolsack. Then what will become of Sir Roundell Palmer P He is named by various authorities as Lord Chief Justice of England if Sir Alexander Cockburn becomes Lord Chancellor and as Lord Justice of Ch ancer y Appeal if Sir William Wood is given the woolsack. It is also said that in any case he will have a peerage. Another peer whom a London correspondent says Mr. Gladstone will make on his accession to power is Mr. Wentworth Beaumont, M.P. for South Northum berland. It will be a question, says our authority, whether he will receive a life patent or not, ROW VOTES ARE OBTAINED. Rather a curious illustration of election morality appears in the Daily News. Mr. J. S. W. S. Erie Drax, who has been defeated by Mr. Calcraft, at Wareham, writes concerning an alleged case of intimidation. The charge was that Mr. Drax bad turned a man from his holding because he did not vote for him. Mr. Drax explains that the notice to quit was given without his knowledge, and has been withdrawn. He has written as follows to the tenant in question : " I did not authorise Mr. Sellers to serve you with a notice, and have instructed him to withdraw it ; at the same time I must observe that at the Wareham election in 1805, you said you would not vote for me unless I paid you a sum of money which you stated was owing to you by a person named Vincent, who had left England some years before, an d w h o h a d wor k e d for me. I paid you, although you had no legal claim, and you then voted for me. Your conscience on that occasion must have been very elastic, and I do not see how under those circumstances you can plead conscientiousness for your vote at this last election." This letter is a virtual acknowledgment that Mr. Drax bribed the elector ; and yet he is not ashamed to own it. The Rev. Mr. Bucke, who was said to have dis charged his verger for voting Liberal, writes that he was discharged for saying that he would vote Con servative and afterwards voting on the other side. He sent him away for telling a lie. ARCHDEACONS. Archdeacon Pollock has been accused of denoun cing in violent terms all supporters of Mr. Gladstone, applying the epithets of unbelievers, atheists, &c., and threatening them with the vengeance of the Great Judge. He gives the most unqualified contra. diction to this, and announces what he did say. In a recent sermon ho asked his hearers : " Would they range themselves ' against the truth,' or ' for the truth ; ' in the cause of right against might, or of might against right ; for the maintenance of the faith of Christ, or the propagation of the d ev il' s f a l se h oods ? The vote, I said, which they gave at the hustings would meet them at the judgment seat. And let them con sider well whether that could be the side of the truth, on which ev er y p ro f esse d at h e i st, every avowed unbeliever, and eve r y a b e tt or o f th e R om i s h super stition were notoriously enlisted." The Archdeacon of Chester did not say that all the supporters of Mr. Gladstone were atheists and unbelievers, but he said that all the enemies of the truth were allied with him. The venerable archdeacon believes that every prophet and every apostle we read of in Holy Writ would in his place do as he does. " Which of them would look on unmoved when we are called upon to violate a solemn national compact, to confiscate the Church's patrimony, to bid our Queen forswear herself, to give a new impetus and opportunity to a false and tyrannical supersti tion, and to cast away, for the first time in our history, our national covenant with God ? " So, according to this archdeacon, the apostles would have con sidered the disestablishment of the Irish Church equivalent to the propagation of " devil's false hoods." There has been in this question too much assumption as to the side which is favoured by Ileaven. Archdeacon Denison is elated at the result of the elections. The large Radical majority will lead to a "disorganised rabble," and " Church and State" will be the gainer. THE APPOINTMENT CF BISHOPS. " A Proctor in Convocation " thinks the union between Church and State cannot be preserved unless the Church has a voice in the appointment of bishops. Questions concerning faith, doctrine, discipline, and policy are now arising, and the State cannot solve them. They can only be settled by the free expres sion of the voice of the Church at large, and the bishops who are to collect that voice must not be made by party or Court influence. The Church News ; while protesting against being considered Erastian, would regret to have the mode of appointing bishops altered.
