131 7 nuT or Trn PUBLIC JOURNALS, The Times says the passing by the two Houses of Con l'ess of the bill for the protection of naturalised American itizens abroad will not take anyone by surprise. T4e oreign-born citizens are sensitive on the subject 4f heir acquired rights, and the native-born have tlr reinary patriotic feeling concerning the power of their ountry to defend all who belong to it. The jealousy which s always latent between nations, and which can hardly be aid to be latent in the disposition of Americans towards England, has been in this case skilfully instigated by ►oliticians. First come the Fenians themselves, whosb ingle desire, in their action on American politics, is to ►rovoke a breach with England. While they try to the utmost the forbearance of this country, while they violate the law of nations and of the Union, by projects )f armed invasion devised and executed on American soil, they lose no opportunity of representing their agents is American citizens condemned by British courts on the ground that they are still British subjects, and as now undergoing punishment for acts done beyond the limits of the British Empire. While the old doctrine of per manent and hereditary allegiance might have been easily reduced to the absurd in any age by very probable Instances of its results, and it is utterly untenable at the present time, when the political divisions of the world are broken up, and whole populations are transferred across the ocean to new homes, the Timei denies that the law has been put in force to the practical injury of the American Irish. The Post, after giving a history of the dispute between the two countries, and the disposition on both sides for an amicable settlement of the question, remarks that it is perfectly needless to point out that no State has authority to legislate for another, and that this measure, so far as it affects to tie up the hands of foreign Governments, or restrict the powers exercised by foreign judges, is absolutely void. But, knowing this, as both Houses of Congress must have done, it is impossible to conceive how they could have been so blinded by the desire of conci liating the mob as to pass a bill which must have the effect of delaying that settlement of an important question which everyone in Europe is desirous of seeing completed. Such a law, however inoperative, must give umbrage to foreign States, whilst on the other hand it has no redeeming merit. Great allowance must be made for American politicians on the eve of a Presidential election ; but, then, they on their part should have some respect for the sus ceptibilities of States which, though not republics, at all events claim to be considered independent. The Times considers it rather hard upon elderly politicians who have been personages all their days, and who have earned a large claim to consideration, to be suddenly compelled to adjust their movements not only to unforeseen circumstances,but, what is worse, to unforeseen men. It is sad to think of a Baring being compelled to fall into the wake of a Disraeli for the destruction of his own seat, or of a Glaistone for the dis establishment of a national Church. It is sad to think that he should have to lift up his voice in patriotic yet not disinterested protest, yet lift it up in vain. Mr. Horsman's trial is of another kind, and he has met it accordingly. With large sympathies for the many, yet disdaining too close an alliance, and desirious to be at once popular and original, and aspiring to influence rather than to lead or command, he suddenly finds himself the unit in a crowd urged on by irresistible impulse to some unknown goal. He is obliged to sit under more than one master, and exhibit the docility of a tender age or an inferior mind. It is hard that a Baring should be adrift with no longer a cause, let alone a borough of his own. Alluding to Mr. Horsman's new cries, the Times says there is a good deal that might be altered with advantage in this country ; but Englansi still contains many things worth contending for, and we seem to be approaching the line between the two. We trust it may be found out, and respected. The Post has great p'easure in confirming the rumours that have lately been current as to the honours about to be conferred upon the Marquis of Abercorn. We are enabled to state that in a few days the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland will receive from the Crown the highest distinc tion of the peerage, and that an early Gazette will record the nomination of Lord Abercorn to a dukedom. The Daily News believes that in the next Parliament we may see a new party, The licensed victuallers think that they have been too long unrepresented. They have resolved to return members to the House of Commons pledged to serve them. No questions are to be asked as to politics. All that is required of a candidate is the pledge that he will be uniformly a friend to the " trade." The great object of the publicans' party will be to resist every attempt to restrict the sale of strong drinks. It is feared that the partisans of compulsory temperance will muster in great strength. To hinder or counter act this, the publicans have determined upon raising a fund. wherewith to aid the return of their friends. With a" simplicity which we should not have expected at their hands, they make no mystery about their designs. The journal which is their organ in the press both pro claims the purp - se they have in view and publishes a lii t of subscribers to the fund. More astute and less simple minded persons would have hesitated before giving pub licity to a project for controlling the elections through the medium of money. Deeds like these are generally done with all possible secrecy. The Standard Lopes that the summary extinction of Mr. Ilearden and his motion will not be treated by Mr. Seward as a casus belli. If the American Government will only remember that Mr. Bright has been already away for six weeks, it will not insist upon regarding the facts that .the Speaker enforced a rule of the House when his attention was called to its violation, and that no one could be found—Mr, Bright, Mr. Mill, Mr. Peter Taylor, and Mr. Lefevre being all absent upon urgent private affairs—to second the proposal for a select committee to inquire whether Mr. Train should be exempted from the operation of the ordinary laws of that part of the United Kingdom called Ireland, affecting the relations of debtor and creditor, as proof positive of a settled design on the part of the English Government and people to deny justice to American citizens, and heap insult upon the great American Republic. Mr. Bearden made the state- ment to the House, but Mr. Reardon read a speech which ' bad been prepared for him. Of the character of th a t Op eeeh , full of impertinent and unwarranted attacks upon all the persons frnm creditors to judge through whose action Mr. Train is the denizen of an Irish debtors' prison, we will not speak. We will only record our own wonder that Mr. Rearden was allowed to go on reading it so long. There were barely twenty members present ; there was no more business to transact ; but nobody moved that the House should be counted—a strange and by no means sensible timidity having come over honourable members in that respect—and it was left for Serjeant Gaselee to call the attention of the Speaker to one of the most glaring breaches of rule ever committed in the House. The Telegraph, commenting on the interference of the Marquis of Bute, at Cardiff, says that there should be no constituency so small that a youthful marquis could menace it into the return of his nominee. Bribery and intimidation in detail have caused the disfranchisement of Many boroughs ; but the pitiful dependence of places like Caine and Cardiff on the mere nod of noblemen, Liberal or Conservative by chance, is a much more serious reason for depriving them of any distinctive representation. There can be no independence in these small towns. And beyond a redistribution that will give to the metropolis and to the other great cities and towns members proportionate to their population, we must have the ballot; which will protect tenants from the organised intimidation of lords and squires. No legitimate influence of an intelligent land lord need thus be lost, for he could still persuade his neigh bours by the force of oratory, or of argument, or even through the personal kindness of his acts ; but he could no longer use indirect bribes or territorial menaces ; ho must rise to argument, not descend into threats. We earnestly hope, if it is not asking too much, that the Liberal electors of Cardiff—sincerely Liberal by a large majority—will disregard the extorted letters and words of the young lord, and the brutally Lrusque advice of the impertinent trustee, and that Colonel Stuart will be again returned for the seat. If not, so much the worse for marquises next year. Every little fact that exhibits peers in insolent opposition to the people " tells trumpet-tongued" for the views of the thinkers in this country —as yet a minority— who already talk about transforming our hereditary chamber into a senate, with foolish boys like Lord Bute and incompetent old gentlemen like the Duke of Portland relegated to the obscure opulence of do-nothing mil lionaires. Last year, 4,133 horses, of the value of £1r7,638 were exported from the United Kingdom. THE NEW BISHOP FOR NATAL. —lt is understood that Dr. Grey, the Metropolitan of South Africa, will leave England in the course of a few days, being accom panied by the Rev. W. K. Macrorie, M.A., incumbent of Accrington, and that as soon as possible after their arrival at Cape Town, Mr. Macrorie will be consecrated for the diocese of Natal. The bishop nominate is well known in London, having teen for some time rector of Wapping. PAUPERISM. —The monthly return of the Poor , law Board shews an improvement in May. At the end of the first week in that month the number of persons in receipt of relief from the rates in England, 953,001, was 4.3 per cent, more than at the corresponding period of 1867; at the end of the fourth week the number was 934,517, and the excess over 1867 only 3 . 3 per cent. But it was as much as 6 per cent. in the mo",ropolitan district, 7'4 per cent, in Yorkshire, 5'4 per cent. in the northein district, and 4'3 per cent. in the north-western. The number in both years is subject to an addition, of about 4 per cent, for returns not here included. "ASE ali t WILL? POISONING .111" A NURSE. A case of child-poisoning by a nurse girl, Mary Kena haw, was heard by the West Riding magistrates at the luildhall, Doncaster, on Tuesday. The prisoner is a girl 4 13 years of age, and entered the service of Mr. foulden, farmer, at Cantley, near Doncaster, on he 4th inst. A child 10 months old was placed ruder her charge, but within ten days after he attempted to poison it by administering to it a noxious aid poisonous drug, known as " foot rot," which is used iy farmers in dressing sheep. The drug, if undiluted, s a very powerful one, and caused the child's lips to well and turn white, and this being noticed by the mother he at once charged the girl with having given some hing to the child, but she denied it, and stated that mother girl had given it a cough pill. This, however, vas found to be untrue, and it was afterwards discovered ;hat a portion of the foot-rot mixture, which was con ;ained in a bottle to which the girl had access, had been given to it. So powerful is the mixture that the child's clothes upon which it had fallen were completely destroyed. Fortunately, however, the mixture does not appear to have taken any effect upon the child beyond burning its lips and mouth. The prisoner appears to be a girl of weak intellect, and had been sent into the country sic that account. Her conduct since she has been with Mr. Houlden would certainly seem to warrant this view, for from the first day she came she seemed dissatisfied, and on the 15th, the day before she administered the poison to the child, she ran away, but was brought back by her mother, who lives at Doncaster. The child also, who previous to her coming was perfectly healthy, Las during the time she has been there been unwell, and had a great dislike to the girl. The girl also, on the 15th, inquired of the servants whether laudanum was poison, and, after she had given the draft to the child, whether it was dead. The prisoner was committed to take her trial at the Leeds assizes. MURDER OF TWO. CHILDREN. A murder of two children and attempted suicide is reported from Rochdale. A man named Israel Whiteoak, residing with his wife and two children upon the Calf Hole Farm, Burnedge, near Rochdale, on Tuesday morn ing, in what is supposed to be a fit of insanity, cut the throats of the two children, a boy aged 8 years and a girl aged 3, and then attempted suicide by cutting his own throat. The wife of the unhappy man gives the following account of the occurrence :—" Twelve months ago my husband suffered very much from rheumatism, and I remember that he told me then that he had a good mind to commit suicide, but he did not know how I could get on with the children. I did not pay much attention to the remarks then, because I knew that he was suffering from great pain. He has not been troubled since with rheumatism. On Monday morning I was ill and vomited blood, which seemed to make him very uneasy, and he offered to stop at home from his work, but . l would not let him. He told me that I must go and see a doctor, on Tuesday. At night he returned from his work, and seemed very well, and there was nothing strange in his conduct. He eat a very good supper, and we retired to rest about eleven o'clock. About four o'clock in the morning I was awoke by bearing my youngest child cry, and I saw my husband kneeling on the children's bed, looking wild, and the youngest child, as it appeared to me, bleeding from the mouth. I then got up, took the child, and saw that it and its brothers' throats were cut. I said to Lim, ' What have you done?' He made no reply. I ran down stairs with my youngest child, which was not quite dead, and my boy followed after me ; but I saw his father seize him at the top of the stairs, and again cut his throat with a razor. I put the child on the couch, and as I was unlocking the door my husband was coming down the stairs. I rushed out and gave the alarm to the neigh, hours." Both the children are dead, but the father is still living, though in a very dangerous state. LAW AND POLICE. INJUNCTION TO RESTRAIN. —ln Vice-Chancellor Giffard's court, an injunction was granted to restrain the further printing, &c., of " Edward Cassey and Co.'s History, Gazetter, and Directory of Berkshire and Oxfordshire," and of a book called at one time " Post-office Directory of Kent and Sussex," and at other times, " Postal and Commercial Directory of Kent and Sussex," on the ground that both of these books were pirated from Mr. Robert Kelly's books. IMPORTANT POINT.—In Vice-Chancellor Stuart's Court the case of Drummond v. Drummond has teen heard. The female plaintiff and the defendant were married, and during the coverture they executed a deed, by which the wife charged the estate of Gairdrum, of which she was heiress in tail, with certain sums, which an insurance com pany advarced to the husband (the defendant). The parties were subsequently divorced, on the petition of the husband ; and this bill was now filed by the wife (and the pr,seut husband) against her former husband, and elairrl:n to have her estate of Gairdrum exonerated from the charge. This was resisted by the defendant, first, on the ground that the court had no jurisdiction in the mat ter ; second!y, that the deed did not bind the estate ; and, thirdly, that even if the wife bad such right, she had lost it by adultery. His Honour made a decree iu favour of the plaintiff. THE REMARKABLE DIVORCE CASE.—In the Divorce Court the Judge Ordinary gave judgment in the case of of Wormald v. Neale and Wormald, which was a suit to annul a marriage on the ground that the wife's name had been wrongfully published in the banns of marriage. The case was tried a few days since, whenit was elicited that the wife, when united to the respondent was only 15 years old. —The Judge-Ordinary said the authorities were clear that, if both the parties to a marriage were aware before the marriage was celebrated that there had been no publication of banns, such marriage was void. In this case the banns hal not been published in the true surname of the lady, b►t in a surname which was widely different, and which could have conveyed no warning whatever, to any one who heard it and who knew the lady's real name, that she was the person intended. On the finding of the jury the case came within the rule laid down by the authorities, and the court accordingly pronounced the marriage null and void. IMPORTANT INSURANCE CASE.—At the Belfast Assizes an action has been brought against the Scottish Commer cial Insurance Company to recover £3,000 on a policy. The defences are—that the premises burned were not insured, but that other premises adjoining and not burned were ; and that if the premises hurried were insured by the company, the pOlicy did not cover the risk occasioned by the storage of matches, sulphur, and other inflammable materials, or the existence of fire-heat upon the premises. The case is not yet concluded. DAMAGES FOR INJURIES. —At the Exeter Assizes the case of Dean v. Tucker has been heard. The plaintiff, an engine-driver, was driving a train on the London and South Western line, when he was suddenly shot in the eye, and he nearly lost the sight of his eye. It seemed that the defendant and other farmers were indulging that day in pigeon shooting in a field about forty or fifty yards from the line of railway, and the defendant fired at a pigeon just as the train was passing, and by this reckless conduct a shot had struck the eye of the plaintiff. The defence was that the shot was not fired by Mr. Tucker. The jury, however, held a contrary opinion, and awarded the plaintiff £BO damages. TILE IRISH RIOT AT NEWCASTLE.—At the Newcastle Police-court, the Irish rioters, Thomas Kelly, 28, Ann McKeown, 50, Henry McKeown, 20, John McKeown 65, Joseph Hoggin, 21, and Richard Cain, 23, were charged with assaulting and resisting the police, and further with violently assaulting the same. Michael Ford, 27, was charged with violently assaulting the police, and Patrick Burns, 22, was charged with assaulting. After some evidence had been given, the accused were remanded. • A clergyman, in the course of a sermon, recently remarked: " You need not clasp your hands so fervently in prayer that you can't get them open when the contri bution-box comes round." The Revue des Deux Mondes says that the wino drunk by the lower classes is not wine, but a mixture, the bases of which is sugar ; that even in France French brandy is scarcely known, and that while more than 200,000 casks of Madeira are sold, only 1,000 are made. M. Adouy, on his return from Fontainebleau, whither he had been summoned by the Emperor to bore some instantaneous wells, was sent for by the Princess Mathilde to execute similar operations at her scat of St. Gratien. He selected a place, and in fifteen minutes a jet of water came up whkh yields 2,000 litres per hour. jII.IIIGE OF ASSAULT AGAINST A MAGISTRATE.- At the Axbridge Petty Sessions, on Tuesday, Joseph Wollen, one of the senior magistrates of the Axbridge division, was charged with assaulting John Green, an ex guardian of the poor for the parish of Wedmore, on July S. There were cross-summonses in this case by which Mr: Green was charged with assaulting Mr. Wollen, on July 7 and 20. The court was crowded to hear the case, which lasted for more than three hours, at the end of which the bench dismissed the summons against Mr. Wollen and fined Mr. Green in the sum of £5 and costs, considering his assault to have been of a most violent and unprovoked nature, inasmuch as he went up behind Mr. Wollen in the street, and dealt him a heavy blow on the head with a heavy cudgel, without the least alterca tion. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 29, 1868. HIE "CHURCH TIMES" ON SECESSION. The Church nines, in an article on " Church and State," says a that there are only two pos sible theories of Church and State in a country where the Church is many centuries older than the State. Either the State must accept the Church as its ruler in all definitely spiritual questions, as the body has to obey the soul, and must do what it can to further the prose lytism of its theological guide, or, if it abandon this view, as England has done now, it must resign all claim to exercise any power over one religious denomination which it does not exer cise over another. The " omnipotence " of Parliament is much exaggerated. It may pass any number of laws, of the most foolish and arbitrary kind, but it cannot enforce them. Force was tried in vain on Scotland in Charles ll.'s days, and in our own time in the matter of Crown patronage. Three hundred years of penal laws did not Protestantize Ireland. It must be remembered, that all Establishment means now is that thirty clergymen sit in the Upper House of Parliament, that a fraction of Church property which the State did not give has not yet been forcibly confiscated, and that clergymen who are disloyal to every rule of social or religious honour are kept by the lawyers from the expulsion they merit, and would suffer as officers, barristers, or physi cians. There can be no true union of Church and State save where the latter, waiving all attempt to regulate doctiine or worship, inde pendently of the orders of the former, is con tent to sit at the feet of her mistress to learn the secrets of wisdom from her. Any other view may lead to the overthrow of either Church or State, as the case may be, for a State without Christianity must sooner or later be a prey to anarchy, and a Church without free dom must sink to the level of those unhappy nursery governesses whose orders are never to contradict, much less punish, little master or miss, and to teach them only what and when the ill-conditioned little tyrants please." Is such a union, as the Church Times speaks of, possible between the Anglican Church and the State? Can we conceive the State of Eng land being " content to sit at the feet " of such a body as the Anglican Church ? In fact the positions are reversed. The Royal Supre macy proclaims the servitude of the Anglican Church, and its only likely escape from such a thraldom is disestablishment. This is the end which sincere and clear-sighted Ritualists must devoutly wish for. If what the Church Times maintains to be the only true theory in the relations between the Church and State is repudiated with scorn by the people and by Parliament, are the Ritualists prepared, sooner than sacrifice essential independence in spiri tual matters and such dogmatic truths as they are now legally entitled to profess, to secede from the Establishment ? We think they are, or soon will be. The increasing boldness and outspokenness both on the side of Rationalism and of the Ritualists, the public discussion of questions touching the very foundation of Christianity, cannot but lead to a disruption of an Establishment, whose characteristic strength has been in its capacity of holding together believers in what really amounts to a variety of creeds. But even for the elastic faith of the Anglican Establishment, the ten sion is now becoming too severe. Perhaps the Bishop of Oxford may possess the gift of elas ticity to such a degree as to enable him to lengthen out in his own person this wonderful capacity to a still greater extent than now exists in the Church of England ; but the Bishop of Oxford, as in so many other re spects, so in this, is, we believe, an exception to the rule. At any rate, the Church Times is prepared for the emergency. It says that the " Catholic party" have nothing to gain by their position within the Establishment, they will not leave the Church of England, " because they feel it their duty to remain by her in her troubles, but to them " secession—if it were only, lawful—would - be the greatest possible gain." It seems to us that it would not only be a gain, but that it is a duty for the Ritualists, without waiting to be ejected, to leave a Church which denies by its living and ruling authori ties, and by common consent, dogmas which the Ritualists hold to be of divine faith. Seces sion, then, is not merely a gain, but a duty. and a duty of the highest character and of the most immediate necessity. To threaten seces sion as a means of obtaining such latitude in the Church as would tolerate the presence alike of infidelity and of Catholic dogmas is merely an attempt to prolong an evil existence, which would too certainly end in obliterating from the minds of the people all sense of dogmatic truth. But if, as we believe, the Ritualists are in earnest not to submit to the " fresh legislation " which the Bishop of London and the Times invoke for the effectual suppression of the obnoxious belief and practices of Ritual ism, then the result is not difficult to foresee. Men who make sacrifices, and remove in obe dience to a sense of duty obstacles from their path, will not long remain in error. " More over," as the Church Times says, whether by way of threat or in earnest, is not very clear, " a body like the Anglo-Catholics, who are sighing for reunion, would not long remain in isolation ; and if they effected a fusion with Rome, the result would be to make the Roman Catholics the most numerous and powerful religious party in the United Kingdom." The fusion with Rome would, in reality, we take it, but be the submission, one by one—or in numbers, not as a body—of these seekers after truth and unity, to the infallible teaching and visible unity of the Catholic Church.—West ininster Gazette. STATE-OMNIPOTENCE. In a thoughtful article on the law of mar riage, which we reprint in another column, the Pall Nall Gazette discusses the question— which it justly calls the greatest question of the day—of the relations between the Church and the State. Everywhere, it says, the Church and State are separating and confront ing each otherin an attitude which is, and must be, essentially hostile, since they embody diametrically different views of life, and claim the loyalty of mankind upon different and in consistent principles. The Pall Mall Gazette has long discarded the impossible theory that the State, separated from the Church, should concern itself only with material Government, and regard moral ideas as entirely out of its sphere. But the mind of man is too important an empire for the State to leave uncontrolled, or committed to the guidance of a rival power like the Church. Hence it follows, on the theory of the Pall Mall Gazette, though not enunciated in the particular article we are alluding to, that, on the separation of Church and State, the 'State must occupy the ground of the Church as well as its own. It must subjugate men's minds, and take their moral or spiritual welfare under its own charge. To neglect such an opportunity of governing and direct ing the growth or course of ideas-would be, on this theory, for the State to neglect a primary duty. To be careful aboutthe construction of roads, or the building of harbours, and to over look the formation and guidance of moral ideas, is to exchange a lofty work of almost illimitable range for a local and circumscribed task. That the Civil Power is called to this nobler work of civilization we readily grant to the Pall Mall Gazette, but that it must pro ceed in its appointed task under the direction and with the co-operation of the Supernatural Power is a fact still more certain. The theory of the Pall Mall Gazette is based upon the omnipotence of the State, and, consequently, when at every important turn in man's life, the Church, with her tribunals, her system of laws, "independent of, and often conflicting with the law of the land," confronts the State intruding upon a province not its own, what other result can be expected, than a conflict, which will end, as the Pall Mall Gazette observes, " either in subjugating the State. to the Church, or in breaking up and destroying the power of the clergy over men's minds, and reducing all Churches to the position of philo sophical schools ?" The triumph of State-omnipotence would inevitably lead the world back to the position it was in when Christianity first broke the power of the Pagan State and emancipated the minds of men from almost intolerable thral dom. By likening the Churches to philoso phical schools, the Pall Mall Gazette completes the picture. But the (Ecumenical Council will prove to the Rationalistic ad mirers of Pagan State-omnipotence that Christianity is not a philosophical school, but a wide-spread kingdom, with tribunals of its own, and vast systems of laws affecting the spiritual and moral interests of every baptized man at every turn of his life, from the cradle to the grave ; and finally, that the empire over men's minds belongs not the State, with its limited know ledge and. erroneous judgment, but to the supernatural power of the infallible Church. — Westminster Gazette. previous British invasion under far more difficult circumstances in proof of the ease of the enterprise, merely observing in connection, " though afterwards it did end in dis aster." Why, in such countries it is in this " afterwards" wherein the danger always lies. We have said that it would be easy to cap ture Cabul, Candahar, and Herat, but to take the Affghan passes for the purpose of making Affghanis tan the field of battle appears to us in the highest de gree unadvisable. Far better to accept the alliance urged by Bokhara, and to declare any further ad vance of Russia a cases Belli, when, instead of in vading India, Russia would be unable to maintain her hold on Turkestan. The true English policy is to continue the work of consolidating its power in India by forming railroads and opening up the rivers by steam, and the money wasted on an Aff ghan expedition might be sufficient to connect Attock with Lahore by rail, strengthening the Etnpirz more than would a strong force. THE YU SEMITE VALLEY. This wonderful scene, which some day will be almost a 3 renowned as Niagara, is thus described by Mr. Frederic Law Olmsted : "The main featare of the Yu Semite is best in dicated in one word as a chasm. It is a chasm nearly a mile in average width however, and more than ten miles in length. The central and broader part of this chasm is occupied at the bottom by a series of groves of magnificent trees, and meadows of the most varied, luxuriant, and exquisite her bage, through which meanders a broad stream of the clearest water, rippling over a pebbly bottom, and eddying among banks of ferns and rushes ; sometimes narrowed into sparkling rapids; and sometimes expanding into placid pools, which reflect the wondrous heights on either side. The walls of the chasm are generally half a mile, sometimes nearly a mile in height above these meadows, and where most lofty are nearly perpendicular, some- times over jutting. At frequent intervals, however, they are cleft, broken, terraced, and sloped, and in these places, as well as everywhere upon the sum mit, they are overgrown by thick clusters of trees. There is nothing strange or exotic in the character of the vegetation, most of the trees and plants, especially those of the meadows and water-side, are closely allied to, and are not readily distinguished from, those most common in the landscapes of the Eastern States or the Midland Counties of England. The stream is such a one as Shakspeare delighted in, and brings pleasing reminiscences to the traveller of the Avon or the upper Thames. Banks of hearts ease and beds of cowslips and daisies are frequent, and thickets of alder, dogwood, and willow often fringe the shores. At several points streams of water flow into the chasm, descending at one leap from five hundred to fourteen hundred feet. One small stream falls in three closely consecutive pitches, a distance of two thousand six hundred feet, which is more than fifteen times the height of the falls of Niagara. In the spray of these falls superb rainbows are seen. At certain points the walls of rock are plowed in polished horizontal furrows, at others moraines of boulders and pebbles are found; both evincing the terrific force with which in past ages of the earth's history a glacier has moved down the chasm from among the adjoining peaks of the Sierras. Beyond the lofty walls still loftier mountains rise, some crowned by forests, others in simple rounded cones of light grey granite. The climate of the region is never dry like that of the lower parts of the State of Californa. Even when for several mouths not a drop of rain has fallen twenty miles to the westward, and the country there is parched, and all vegetation withered, the Yo Semite continues to receive frequent soft showers, and to be dressed throughout in living green. After midsummer a light, transparent haze gene rally pervades the atmosphere, giving an indescrib able softness and exquisite dreamy charm to the scenery, like that produced by the Indian summer of the East. Clouds gathering at this season upon the snowy peaks which rise within forty miles on each side of the chasm to a height of over twelve thousand feet, sometimes roll down over the cliffs in the afternoon, and, under the influence of the rays of the setting sun, form the most gorgeous and magnificent thunderheads. The average elevation of the ground is greater then that of the highest peak of the White Abuntains, or the Alleghanies, and the air is rare and braciug ; yet its temperature is never uncomfortably cool in summer, nor severe in winter. Flowering shrubs of sweet fragrance and balmy herbs abound in the meadows, and there is everywhere a delicate odour of the prevailing foliage in the pines an-1 cedars. The water of the streams is soft and limpid, as clear as crystal, abounds with trout, and, except near its source, is, during the heat of the summer, of an agreeable temperature for bathing. In the lower part of the valley there are copious mineral springs, the water of one of which is regarded by the aboriginal inhabitants as having remarkable curative properties. A basin still exists to which weak and sickly persons were brought for bathing. The water has not been ana lyzed, but that it possesses highly tonic as well as other medecinal qualities can be readily seen. In the neighbouring mountains there ara also springs strongly charged with carbonic acid gas, and said to resemble in taste the Empire springs of Sara toga. Associated with this valley in the grant of Congress to California for public purposes are four sections of land, about thirty miles distant from it, on which stand, iu the midst of a forest com posed of the usual trees and shrubs of the west ern slope of the Sierra Nevada, about six hun dred mature trees of the giant Sequoia. Among them is one known through numerous paintings and photographs as the Grizzly Giant, which probably is the noblest tree in the world. Besides this, there are hundreds of such beauty and stateliness that, to one who moves among them in the reverent mood to which they so strongly incite the mind, it will not seem strange that intelligent travellers have de clared that they would rather have passed by Nia gara itself than have missed visiting this grove. In the region intermediate between the two districts the scenery generally is of a grand character, con sisting of granite mountains and a forest composed mainly of coniferous trees of great size, yet often more perfect, vigorous, and luxurious than trees of half the size are ever found on the Atlantic side of the continent. It is not, however, in its grandeur or in its forest beauty that the attraction of this in termediate region consists, so much a 3 in the more secluded charms of some of its glens, formed by mountain torrents fed from the snow banks of the higher Sierras. These have worn deep and picturesque channels in the granite rocks, and in the moist shadows of their recesses grow tender plants of rare and peculiar loveliness. The broad and parachute-like leaves of the peltate saxifrage, delicate ferns, soft mosses, and the most brilliant lichens abound, and in fol lowing up the ravines, cabinet pictures open at every turn, which, while composed of materials mainly new to the artist, constantly recall the most valued sketches of Calaine in the Alps and Apennines. The difference in the elevation of different parts of the district amounts to considerably more than a mile. Owing to this difference and the great variety of exposure and other circumstances there is a larger number ofb€pecies of plants within the district than Probably can be found within a similar space any where on the continent. Professor Torrey, who has given the received botanical names to several hundred plants of California, states that on the space of a few acres of meadow land he found about three hundred species, and that within sight of the trail usually followed by visitors, at least six hundred may be observed, most of them being small and delicate flowering plants. By no statement of the elem. - ets of the scenery can any idea of that scenery be given, any more than a true impression cAn be conveyed of a hum In face by a measured account of its features. It is c inceivable that any one or all of the cliffs of the Yo Semite might be changed in form and colour, withoutlesseningthe enjoyment which is now obtained from the scenery. Nor is this en joyment any more essentially derived from its meadows, its trees and streams ; least of all can it be attributed to the cascades. These, indeed, are scarcely to be named among the elements of the scenery. They are mere incidents, of far less consequence any day of the summer than the imperceptible humidity of the atmosphere and the soil. The chasms remain when they are dry, and the scenery may be, and often is, more effec tive, by reason of some temporary condition of the air, of clouds, of moonlight, or of sunlight through mist or smoke, in the season when the cascades attract the least attention, than when their volume of water is largest and their roar like constant thunder. There are falls of water elsewhere finer, there are •more stupendous rocks, more beetling cliff 4, there are deeper and more awful chasms, there may be as beautiful streams, as lovely meadows, there are larger trees. It is in no scene or scenes the charm consists, but in the miles of scenery, where cliffs of awful height and rocks of vast ' magnitude and of varied and exquisite colouring, and banked and fringed, draped and shadowed by the tender foliage of noble and lovely trees and bushes, reflected from the most placid pools, and associated with the most tranquil meadows, the most playful streams, and every variety of soft and peaceful pastoral beauty. This union of the deepest sublimity with the deepest beauty of nature, not in one feature or another, not in one part or one scene or another, not any landscape that can be framed by itself, but all around and wherever the visitor goes, constitutes the Yo Semite the greatest glory of nature. No photograph or series of photographs or paintings, ever prepare a visitor so that he is not taken by surprise, for could the scenes be faithfully represented, the visitor is affected not only by that upon which his eye is at any moment fixed, but by all that with which on every side it is associated, and of which it is seen only as an inherent part. For the same reason no de scription, no measurements, no comparisons, are of much value. Indeed, the attention called by these to points in some definite way remarkable, by fixing the mind on mere matters of wonder or curiosity, prevent the true and far more extraordinary cha racter of the scenery from being appreciated. THE RUSSIANS IN CENTRAL ASIA. (From the Anglo-American 2 imes.) The Fortnightly Review has a paper on Central Asia and the Russian advance towards India, worthy of careful reading. We differ from the writer's con clusions which point to an advance of the British into Affghanistan, and there is nothing in his argu- ment to change our views. We lately gave some sketches of the country on the Indian side of the Hindoo Kooch, which carries its barrier of snowy ranges around the frontier, leaving the only passage for an army into India through the Khyber Pass. Mr. Griffin puts the distance from Attock to Herat at 750 miles, and from Herat it is less than 500 miles by road to Samarcand. The Russian advance towards Bokhara will shorten the way to Herat, and if the Oxus becomes a Russian river, there are points to which it is navigable distant from Cabal only 440 miles by road, and about 640 from Pesha war. The mountains which the British troops in Peshawar see towering up to the north-east give birth to the Indus, flowing to the sea on their side, and the Jaxartes and the Oxus which flow to the sea of Aral on the Russian side. Granted the dis tances are great, the features of the country being stupendous, still these ranges of the Hindoo Kooch alone separate the British frontier from the country in which the Russians are now operating. Mr. Griffin says--" Central Asia is a very indefinite term, usually including Affghanistan, which bounds India on the north-west, and the north-eastern part of Persia which lies between Affghanis tan and the Caspian. But these two dis tricts are the southern boundary of a wide but clearly defined area, to which the name is of.en restricted ; the western boundary of that area being the Caspian Sea and the river Ural; the eastern the lofty table land of the Bolar, the mountains which bound to the west the Chinese Turkestan and Dryungaria, and the river Irtisch ; and the northern boundary of Western Siberia. The northern half of this area consists of the Kirghiz desert, mountainous and rugged on the east, and full of saline steppes on the west ; in the midst of the southern half lies the Sea of Aral, on the western side of which stands a broad desert to the Caspian, while to the eastern side is a fertile oasis region, watered by the two great rivers, the Jaxartes and the Oxus. It is this last oasis, the furthest from Russia, the nearest to India, which is the scene of the conquest which now makes some noise. Before, the work of Russia was confined to the desert between the Caspian and the Sea of Aral and the mountains and steppes of the Kirghiz de sert, a progress of which little heed was taken, till, in 1864, the south east corner of the fertile district was entered. From it to the River Ural and South ern Siberia the shortest routes were from one to two thousand miles over a barren track, and unless secure highways had been formed no army could have been maintained across it. The progress since 1864 is easily marked. In that year three for tresses or fortified towns belonging to Kokand were carried by assault—Aoulietta, Turkestan, and Chenkend:and these with the country around formed the first of the present series of annexations. Their possession gave Russia the right hank of the Jaxartes as high up as the town of Turkestan, and from that point the frontier line to Lake Issyk _ kuul, among the mountains bordering China, could be easily traced by the fortresses. In the spring of 1865 a battle was fought in defence of the newly- acquired district, ending in the defeat of the Kokan dians and the death of their chief, and in June fol lowing the important city of Tashkend, about 60 miles south of Cheukend, and still higher up, was stormed. So far the conquest had only been on the right bank of the Jaxartes, and in the princi pality of Kokand, but the operations of 1866 brought Russia across the river. A great battle was fought on the 20th May at Irdjar, close by the left bank ; this time with the army of Bukhara, and the victory gave the Russians various fortresses on the left bank and the town of Khojand, which was carried by storm in the beginning of June. Advancing South the Russians captured the strong fort of Oratepe, on the road from Kokand into Bok hara, and a month or two later the equally strong fortress of Juzak on the same road, but within 40 Kaufmann under the walls of miles of Samarcand, w hi ch thenceforth became ex posed important engagement on 13th toattack. iayby General Ano aufmann Samarcand was followed next day by the surrender of the town to the Russians." The late victory and the capture of Samarcand merely repeat the story of the British in India. The Russians are impelled to conquest and annexation, whether it be their desire or not, as it seems to be impossible for a civilized power to establish itself in the neigh bourhood of one comparatively uncivilized, and continue to maintain its boundary. Asiatic poten tates are more moved by impulse than policy, and even were they not they cannot so control their subjects as to prevent grave causes of luarrel. If the civilized power submits to inroads and insults, it will quickly fall into contempt, which would be instantly followed by invasion. 'ro judge from the telegram of General Kryjanovski, Governor-Ge neral of Orenburgb, after the capture of . Juzak, it is clear he did not desire to recommence the conflict. He said, " The war with Bokhara, as far as we are concerned, is over, I hope for long, if only the Ameer will not himself renew it." Judging, too, from the storm of Juzak, the last of the King of Bokha ra's strongholds in the Valley of the, Jaxartes, which, though defended by the Ameer'a best troops, was taken by assault after five days' siege, and nearly all its garrison captured or killed—it might fairly be supposed that the Ameer would long wait before lie renewed the war, but we find the next year both armies again in the field, and Samar cand captured. The "total strength of the Rus sians in the Valley is said to be but 40,000 men ; the fleet ou the Sea of Aral, and the Jaxartes, numbers 4 steamers, 7 steam launches, 3 transports, and 1 tug. The line of Russia is then across the desert to the Sea of Aral, and up the Oxus, when that river passes into her possession, to a point within 440 miles of Cabul, or 610 from Peshawur, a position she may be said to have attained. We grant the nearness, and might consider it a cause of danger but for a weighty reason. Not only is the oasis wherein Russia has established herself separated by a mighty barrier from India, but it is divided from Russia by barriers still more difficult. She has there a handful of troops more isolated from the mother country than the British are in India. If Russia swayed a vast population in Turkestan, and was connected with the Empire by rail, there would be obvious danger, and some day, long distant, this may be the case ; but the Muscovite has much to do within his own proper boundaries before he dircc's railroads of hundreds and hundreds of miles through. deserts. To give the sense of nearness the reviewer, alluding to Cabul, Balkh, and Ilerat, towns within the sphere of now and modern Indian history, which Russia touches, says, one of them hasbeen occupied by English troops, and ano ther has been the post of no little Indian diplomacy ; an English regiment has also been within ten days' march of the Oxus, now becoming a Russian stream, having surmounted the most difficult part of the march which lies between it and the Indus. The dangers of invading Affghanistan are strangely underrated by so acute a writer as Mr. Griffin, who notices the • LEI TER FROM GEORGE FRANCIS 7 RAIN. (From the Anglo-American Times) Dublin, Four Courts, Marshalsea, July 20. Dear Anglo-American Times, — It was very kind for you to remember me in my " summer cottage" in Ireland, so kindly furnished for me by the greatest nation on the face of the airth. Britons never will ba slaves so long as, in the midst of life, they are in debt. Is it time to abolish this relic of the barbarous ages ? Five years of idleness can be produced by a £lO bill. These things are recorded in this debtor's jail. DOWN WITH IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT. THE SPECIAL OF TILE WORLD. " George Francis Train, having nothing else to do in the Marshalsea, has written reams upon reams, and the Ame rican papers team with his productions. It astonishes us that he who writes so much should write so well, and in such spirits, considering the circumstances ; but ho has ono inexhaustible theme of inspiration, and that is—him self."—Anglo-American Times. Himself. —Why not? Humility is cowardice. Egotism is courage. Don't we all know our friends ? Does water run up the hill? Can we get above our level and hold our own long ? Are there not natural' laws that keep us in our places? If you can edit a" first-class journal, don't you know it? When any man says, " Train, you are clever." I say, " Yes—much more so than you think I am." the party is usually astonished at my catching him in the act. Put a lot of potatoes in a spring cart over a rough road the small potatoes must go to the bottom. Let us introduce a new religion and tell the truth, even though a congregation may walk out of the church. WHAT IS HIS INFLUENCE AMONG THE IRISH. (From the Anglo -American Times.) " George Francis gives a touching picture of his child hood in New Orleans, written with a power that shows, when he chooses to be rational, how great the talent is he does in truth possess. If all his loose joints were well screwed together, and ceased to rattle in that plaguey, ridiculous way when ho got into motion, he would have taken a very different position in his country. Without a particle of real sympathy by blood, or any otherbond, he de sires to walk on the shoulders of the Irish into the Pre sidential Chair, and he pursues this infatuated idea with a waste of toil, talent, and energy, which, well directed, would make any other person's fortune. After abusing England to his heart's content, he expects to be received by Englishmen with outstretched hand. Otherwise, what could have induced him to brave the lion is his den on the Liverpool Stock Exchange? There are only two ways in which he can be received in England, either with indignation, or with curiosity. lie has too much talent and energy, however misdirected, to ba treated with con tempt. We are sorry he was not permitted to leave, as he desired, by the Scotia, for we aro curious to see what his influence among the Irish in America really is. But the Republicans need not hug themselves on the prospect of seeing the Irish vote split in favour of George Francis Train." Our Convention meets on the sth of August in Chicago, and will adjourn to the Academy of Music, New York, to the 20th of September, to be adjonrned again to Cincinnati, to meet on the anniversary of Lord Cornwallis' surrender on the 19th of October. Two weeks of telegram will call our organization to the ballot-box. Our Labour Societies, our Reform Leagues, and the Fenian Brotherhood are completely organized. I hold the balance of power. THE IGNORANCE OF THE " TIMES" ON AMERICAN NEWS. The ignorance of the London Press on American affairs is proverbial. You well describe it in your Leader. Hit them again ; thsy have no friends among my Irish boys. Only last week Punch makes Horace Greeley proprietor of the Philadelphia Led ger ; and the Times, during the war, anchored Burnside's naval expedition in the mountains of Western Virginia— while the Standard landed the pilgrim fathers at New Orleans on the banks of the Ohio. The people know no thing of America. The penny papers sel dom discuss American affairs. The Lord Mayor of London, it will be remembered, introduced 4t Daniel Webster as a member of the Upper Senate of New York." Reuter sends about twenty lines a week by the cable, and the mails only bring a para graph or two. What is the remedy for this lack of enterprise and lack of disposition to discuss Ameri can affairs? It is this—An Ocean Penny Postage. Randall did right in snubbing Trollope. Open the gates of the Atlantic, and give us free trade in let ters. We must have another Collins' line of steamers. JUDGE KEOGH lIND GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN. MR. TRAIN MAKES ANOTHER STRUGGLE FOR LIBERTY AND FAILS. Since you published my last trial I have made another attempt without success. Lord Jeffries says I am in his custody—Lord Norbury says I am in his ; and my corpus seems to belong to anybody who is disposed to habeas it. Ask your legal readers if a man can be arrested under fiat and afterwards detained under ca sa—in other words, for twice the sum? Again, can individuals arrest under fiat, and the firm detain in ca sa ? Would not either of these legal informalities release a British subject? Is there a different law for an American ? Here are the facts of the case for your column of co nundrums. GEO. FRANCIS TRAIN. [We have read the Irish 7 imes' report of the pro ceedings, and although we would be sorry to hazard an opinion against that of Mr. Justice Keogh, we cannot help thinking that there is neither law nor justice in the decision of which Mr. Train com plains. We regret that the report is too long to publish, and we cannot doubt that Mr. Train will soon be at liberty, for a creditor imprisoning debtor, except as a punishment for an intent to defraud, is a foolish proceeding, and if the report we elsewhere give regarding Mr. Train's property at Omaha be correct, he must be, or soon will be, able to pay anything he considers justly due.--En.

TRADES' UNIONS.' A circular has been sent to all the newspapers in England, Wales, and Scotland by the Free-Labour Registration Society cn Free Labour versus Trades' Unions. The first proposition laid down is that " Trades' Unions are neither more nor less than bodies of men associated together to forward their own interests against the general good of society, and tend to create dearness instead of cheapness. There can be no doubt but that the cheaper every thing is, the greater number of people are able to become possessed of what they require ; the dearer everything is, the fewer people are able to obtain what they want." Now we grant this with the reservation that labour differs from produce. We become so material that men and things are con founded. It does not follow that because labourers and trades associate together to forward their own interests that the combination is against the general good of society. If it benefits them, it benefits a large section of society, and they have as much right to get the highest price for their labour as a com bination of banks to fix the rate of interest for money. It is a well-established fact that the agri cultural labourer of England, from being the work ing man best off in the world, has descended into the lowest scale in the course of centuries, and most rapidly within the last. Many causes combined against him, while he, poor fellow, did not under stand how to combine in his own interest, and therefore he went to the wall. The feeling that so it will always be, now makes handicraft men so ear nest in organizing into Trades' Unions, and if these unions were confined in an honest and enlightened way to maintaining; the interests of the trades, they would be among the most justifiable or ganizations of the Empire. But unfortunately the rulers too often seek power and the society degenerates into tyranny. The second proposition says, " Trades' Unionists consider that it is right for men of all trades to combine. Let them ask themselves the question what the result would be if the farmers throughout the country entered into a powerful combination and (being supported by the importers of corn) doubled the present price of bread ?" And here we heartily agree with the men, and feel confident that if the farmers and the importers thought they could combine with a chance of success they would begin to-morrow, and we would have the price of bread at the highest point to which they could push it. Does the writer imagine that the present price is due to the moderation of the farmer ? A reference to Froud's history, or any other which truthfully states the the position of workmen in olden days will in effect refute the following statement It is said on all sides that joiners, masons, bricksetters, plasterers, painters, &c., perform only one-half or two-thirds the work for a day's wages that they formerly did, although their remuneration is now 25 to 30 per cent. higher " than previous to the alteration in the ` corn laws." "Why is there not to be free trade in English labour as well as in corn, cattle, coffee, tea, sugar, rice, &c., &c.?" Ask the co-operative societies whether there is free trade in coffee, t 33, sugar, rice, &c. Leave grocers to their own devices, and the prices will be fixed by combination as they are, and always have been, when possible. "Were these necessaries of life produced under the rules of trades' unions, the cost would be so exorbi tant that nine-tenths of the world would die of starvation." How comes it, then, that England, in which these unions most flourish, is the country which exports the greatest produce of labour ? and the United States, wherein trades' unions thrive almost in an equal degree, is the largest exporter of agricultural produce ? The circular then continues as follows :-4(lt is a matter of little consequence to the public whether the sawgrinderg of Sheffield get £5 or five shillings for a days wages; but the present cost of building e ll ' hances the rent of every description of dwel ling, and thus affects all classes of society. There are thousands of boys anxious to becel 3l ° joiners, masons, bricksetters, plasterers, painters, &c. But the rules of the unions prevent them en tering these several callings; the poor rates are thug immensely increased, and many of the working classes driven (of necessity) to obtain a living 11 dishonest means. It is an act of great tyranny to prevent the labouring population bringing up their children to the trade they like best. With a free exchange of labour there would be abundance of employment for every class of workpeople. Th e public are so deeply interested in this itnport.tut question, that it behoves them to give (in all de' partments of the building trade) a preference to Non-Unionists, or members of the Free Labour get: gistration Society." The public ought to strive to VP trades' unions on the best foundations, and direct them to the most justifiable objects; for instance, th e combination of labour and capital, wherein the Pre fits are divided according to a system which mak es good management, skill, and energy alike profita ble to each. Let labour, instead of regarding capital a: is enemy, learn to consider it as its best friend. L e secretaries and directors of trades' unions be pullel uP a when theytravel beyond their legitimate functions all establish a tyranny, acting the part of the wolf aga iest the very sheep it was their duty to guard. 'Phis weighty question of Trades' Unions must occupY the attention of Parliament, and be fully ventilate' s ; when we feel assured that the mass of English tee will be amazed at the contrast presented by the pros' perous state of the English workman in olden days compared with his present condition, and what Re all desire to learn, is the reason.
