The case of Brooks v. the Manchester, Sheffield, and instructed illri ni n C TlNg te i d n the above court. It was an appeal from the County Court of Lincolnshire. Messrs. 'toilet and Son, of Hull, appeared for the plaintiff, who is a farmer at Healing, in Lincolnshire • and Mr. Russell for the d e f en d ants, the appellants. 'The action was brought to recover damages for injuries to a horse of the plaintiff whilst being carried on the defendants' railway. The facts were as follows : On the 23rd April, 1866, the plaintiff brought to the station of, the defendants at Holton, and there delivered to the company, two horses for carriage from that place to Lincoln. The p ieter of the defendants asked the plaintiff to tie the horses in the horse-box, but this the plaintiff stated he declined to do, and that he also prevented his groom from intelfering, saying the company must take all the respon sibility, as the horses were in their charge and at their • risk. This was corroborated by the plaintiff's groom (who was not at the time of the trial in the plaintiff's service) ; but the porter at the station who tied up the horses denied the plaintiff's statement, and stated that the plaintiff's groom held the horses' heads. Horses carded by the defendants' railway are fastened to the inside of the horse-box by means of headstalls. Evidence was given on behalf of the plaintiff to shew that the mode of securing horses in horse-boxes adopted by the defendants was not safe, or the best and most usual; but the contrary was asserted by a horse-superintendent in the employ of the defendants. The horses were led by the company's servant into a horse-box by themselves, and the headstalls placed upon them by the same servant, and the ropes attached to the headstalls were then tied by the company's servant to the horse-box. A halter belonging to the plaintiff was also on each of the horses, but these were tied by the company's servant at greater length, and so as - to be out of the way. The following conditions were on the horse-ticket taken by the plaintiff :—" This ticket is issued subject to the owner's undertaking to bear all the risks of injury by conveyance and other contingencies, and the owner is required to see to the efficiency of the carriage before he allows his horses or live stock to be placed therein. The charge being for the use of the railway carriages and loco motive power only, the company will not be responsible for any alleged defect in their carriages or trucks unless complaint be made at the time of booking or before the same leave the station, nor for any damages however caused to horses, cattle, or live stock of any description travelling upon their railways or in their vehicles." Soon after the train leaving Market Rasen, a station above five miles from Holton, one of the horses became restive, and began plunging. The plaintiff's groom and his companion heard the noise, and on opening the window in the partition which the plaintiff's groom had closed when the train left Market Rasen, they saw that one of the straps of the headstall belonging to the company which had been placed on the head of one of the horses had broken, and that the horse itself had fallen and got one of its fore legs over the partition dividing it from the other horse. They gave an alarm immediately on the arrival of the train at Wickenly, when the horse was removed from the box and was found to have been considerably injured. On examining the horse-box one of the straps of the com pany's headstalls was found broken, as had been alleged by the plaintiff's groom and his companion on giving the alarm ; and it was also found that the horse had been con siderably injured by the fall, and by getting one of its fore legs over the partition separating it from the other horse. On the headstall being examined it was found to have been apparently recently repaired, and one strap was split or ripped from one of the buckle holes to the outer edge of the strap, and witnesses were called on the part of the plaintiff who stated that they had examined the headstall, and that the leather where it had given way was rotten. Two servants of the company were also called on the part _ of the defendants, who stated that the leather was to all appearance sound. The broken headstall was produced on the part of the plaintiff in court at the original trial, and examined by the jury, by whom the leather where it had given way was pronounced defective. On this evidence it was submitted to the learned judge by Mr. A. K. Rollet, who appeared on the part of the plaintiff at the original trial-1. That the condition in the ticket was unreason. able, and therefore void. 2. That even if the con dition were reasonable, it merely professed to protect the company " for any alleged defect in their carriages or trucks," and that the damage being caused by the brea.k• age of a headstall which was not part of, but tied to, the horse-box at the time the horse was placed in it, the cause of the damage was not within the protective terms of the condition. 3. That the condition being unreasonable and void, and the company being common carriers at common law, it was unnecessary to prove negligence on their part, the accident not being inevitable. 4. That if it were necessary to prove negligence, the breaking of the headstall was prirn4 facie, though not conclusive, evi dence of it, and that the headstall having been produced and shewn to be rotten, and the mode of securing the horses having been shown to be improper, there was suffi cient evidence of negligence to go to a jury; and that if the condition professed to protect the company against the con sequences of their own negligence, it was unreasonable and void. It was submitted on the part of the defendants, by Mr. Evans, of Ashton under-Lyne-1. That they were pro tected from all liability to the plaintiff by the condition in the ticket requiring the owner to see to the efficiency of the carriage before allowing his horses to be placed therein, and that such condition was just and reasonable ; and 2. That even if this were not the case, there was no evidence to go to the jury of any negligence on th e pat t of the defen dants. The judge intimated an opinion that the terms of the condition might be separated, and that while the clause protecting the company against any alleged defect in their carriages or trucks, unless complaint were made at the time of booking, or before the same left the station, might be reasonable and good, yet the succeeding clause, declaring the company irresponsible for any dam ages, however caused, to horses, cattle, or live stock travelling upon their railway or in their carriages, might be unrea sonable and void. The learned judge did not, however, expressly decide the condition to be reasonable or unrea sonable. Assuming the first clause to be reasonable, his Honour said it would be for the jury to say whether the evidence satisfied them that there had been negligence in fact on the part of the company. His Honour also left it to the jury to consider whether the broken headpiece was part of the carriage or truck, and whether, therefore, the damage complained of was within the protection afforded • by the first clause of the condition. The jury found expressly that the company had been guily of negligence in fact, and returned a verdict against the appellants,with £42 damages. The defendants appealed from this verdict, and con tended that, having reference to the terms of the contract on which plaintiff's horses were carried, they were not liable for the injury sustained by the horse ; and that there as to render them liable as common carriers. was not any evidence of ne g li gence by th e d e fendants, so Mr. Russell having stated the case, cited some cases in support of the above points ; but the court unanimously dismissed the appeal, and ordered the verdict to stand as in the court below, the railway company to pay the costs f both trials. ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. —A letter front the secretary of the Royal Agricultural Society of England has been read at the meeting of the Liverpool Town Coun cil, announcing that the country meeting of the society for 1869 would be held at some place in the district for that year, comprising the counties of Cumberland, Lanca shire, Westmoreland, and the West Riding of Yorkshire. It was decided to refer the matt e r to a special committee, with power to invite the s l c iet y to hold the meeting at or in the neighbourh ood of Liver p oo l , and to make other arrangements their loyaltywh which A NTI -FENIAN MEETING.—A l arge and entlrusi astic meeting of the Roman Catholics of the Brynmawr district, for the purpose of condemning Fenianism and ex pressing the Government, has been h e ld at the Catholic Church.

That we, being Roman Catholics, and the greater part Irishmen, residing at Brynmawr, take this opportunity of publicly disclaiming all connection with political secret societies in general, and Fenianism in particular.... As such are contrary to the teachings of our holy religion, and as such societies are likely to pro mote ill-feeling between various classes, we beg to stat 3 that it is our greatest wish to live in peace and harmony with our fellow-workmen and all others. 3. That we, as members of a Christian Church, do condemn in the strongest terms the diabolical outrages committed by members of the Fenian society in London and other places, being the actions of the American armies, wretches who have neither home hsuour, nor religion. 4. That as Roman Catholics and Most faithful subjects of her Gracious Majesty the Queen of these realms, w e openly express our loyalty to her Government, t and sincerely hope that when the next ses. sion of Parliament commences some good laws will be brought forward for the benefit of our beloved native land, and that Almighty God will sl , ower clown every blessing on our good Queen Victoria and the Royal Family is .tl] sincere wish and prayer of her Majesty's most faithful and living subjects, the Roman Catholics and Irishmen of Brywickwr,"_ Advice upon the Toilet.

But if you must hate the extreme trans parency of pure Paraffine, "PRICE'S PARAFFINE" or their "BELMONTINE" will give it to you in perfection, and at a more moderate price than is usually charged for any other really first class Paraffine Candles. The new toilet soap "PRICE'S SOLIDIFIED GLYCERINE," containing half its weight of their concentrated distilled Glyce rine, should be in general use in every house before the winter comes on, because of its admirable effects in preventing chap ping of the hands and face. In every house there ought also to be one of the sealed bottles of their concentrated Distilled Gly cerine, known everywhere as "PRICE'S GLYCERINE," and prescribed by the most eminent medical men abroad as well as at home, as the one only Glycerine for medicinal use whether ex ternally or internally. PRICE'S FA • CY SOAPS of the different sorts usually made are excellent, and command a constantly increasing sale. The "Solidified Glycerine" spoken of above is, however, the one fancy soap to use. "'PRICE'S NEW PATE \ T NIGHT LIGHTS," for burning in the wide glasses are believed to,be the very best Night Lights made. "PRICE'S CHLLDS' NIGHT LIGHTS," for burning without glasses, and their different sorts of "CHAMBER CA A - DLES" are so well known, and so generally used and appre ciated, as not to need any special notice here. .poWELL'S BALSAM OF ANISEED, for COUGHS, COLDS, ASTHMA, BRONCHITIS, Sore Throat, Difficulty of Breathing, and all similar affectione of the Respiratory.

Last night a grand banquet was given to her Majesty's Ministers by the Bristol Conservative oAfsstohceiation. Exchequer were TheEarlof Duenrabvyoiadnadblty absent, heCbanc butellor among those pres en t were L ord Stanley, M.P., Mr. G. Hardy, M.P., Si r J. P a ki ngton, M. P ., an d Colonel Taylor, M.P., Lord T re d egar, L or d North wick, Sir L. Palk, M.P., &c. Th e D u k e o f B eau • fort, K.G., presided. The banquet took place in the hall of the Bristol Volunteer Corps. Covers were laid for 1,400 persons. The usual loyal toasts having been enthusiastically responded to, The CHAIRMAN proposed "The Army, Navy, Yeomanry, and Volunteers." Sir J. PAKINGTON, who was received with loud cheers, in responding to the toast, said—lt would ill become me to remind you of the long-established claims of the army and navy to the gratitude and good feeling of their countrymen. I may say, with out indulging in any idle boast or in any undue na tional partiality—l may say that which I sincerely believe, that so far as their numerical strength goes, thel()ri armyof England is not inferio r t o th at o f any othernation of the world; but, gen tl emen, th e g esand the triumphs of the British arm y h ave not been achieved alone upon the battlefield of Europe. There is no quarter of the globe, there is no climate in which these troops have not fought and conquered; and now at this very moment a large division of the British army is engaged in a most arduous service in maintaining the honour of the country. (Cheers.) It is possible that that division of the army may not be exposes to any great amount of the usual dangers of war. We have read of late in some of the public journals that King Theodore of Abyssinia with some difficulty has possessed himself of one great gun, and that now he is unable to move it. (Laughter.) This certainly looks as if the ordnance department of his Majesty was not in the most flourishing condi tion. (Laughter.) But, on the other hand, we don't yet know that our gallant troop 3 may not have to contend with great—l trust not overpower ing —numbers, and certainly with men of indivi dual bravery. We are certain they will have to make long marches in an unknown country ; that they will have to submit to difficulties and priva tions and dangers of climate in a country many parts of which are most unfavourable to Euro peans ; and that, whatever may be the re sult of that expedition, our troops will have to call into exercise those great powers of endurance which have always distinguished the British soldier. ' (Cheers.) Let me ask you, there fore, whilst you are drinking the health of the British army, to join me in expression of the earnest hope that our gallant men who have gone to Abys sinia may speedily return to their country, having achieved the righteous and great object for which they have gone--(cheers)----and that, whatever may have bean the exertions they have been called upon to make, they will return with an untarnished, if not an increased, reputation. (Cheers.) Admiral TRY ON acknowledged the toast on behalf of the navy. Colonel HOGG, M.P., then, in highly eulogistic terms, proposed the toast of the evening, " The Health of her Majesty's Ministers," which was re ceived with great enthusiasm, three cheers being given for Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli. Lord STANLEY, on rising to acknowledge the i ton t, was warmly cheered. He said--My lords, ladies, and gentlemen,—On my own behalf, and on that of my colleagues, absent as well as pre sent, I thank you all, and I only wish that our friend the Chancellor of the'Exchequer had been able to be present, that he might have seen and heard the enthusiasm with which his name has been received. •(Cheers.) I will not deny that, if a mark of confidence is at all times welcome, it be comes peculiarly so under the circumstances in which we are at present ',laced. We have passed through a stormy and a crilcal period. We have been placed in a position of more than ordinary respon sibility and difficulty. We have had to decide matters of the gravest national importance, and upon which harvest and intelligent men, itiling at the same general results, may reasonably differ. (Hear, hear.) We came to the conclusion, not, perhaps, on the part of some of us without consider able hesitation ; but we came to the conclusion that the course which we actually adopted was the best and safest for the country and the best also for our party, but we did not expect that that conclusion would necessarily be shared by all who acted with us, or that no difference of opinion would arise ; and I need not say that, of all differences, none are more painful than those which break out between old political friends and allies. (Hear, hear.) Under these circumstances--and trying circum stances I think they were-=the Conservative party stood by those whom it had chosen and recognised as its leaders with a firm, a generous, and an un wearied confidence which I for one shall never forget. In that I think they acted wisely ; and it is to us no small gratification that you also share the same conviction, and by your presence here to day, and by your cheers, and by the language of your chairman, have declared that we had not lightly abandoned the course which we undertook to defend, but that we have simply exercised a wise discretion in declining to place ourselves—and in pldcing ourselves in placing yourselves too—in the invidious and untenable position of antagonism to the deliberately expressed wish of the nation. Ido not wish to go back into old disputes, but, if there be any, and there maybe even here those who think the legislation of the last year involves a certain amount of political changes, I ask them this—Do they think there would have been no danger in standing still? (Hear, hear.) Look at the circum stances of the moment. We cannot say that they are in all respects satisfactory. We have a war on our hands—a very little one, no doubt, but s till a war. We have commercial depression pr eva ili ng in some places to an almost unprecedent e d degree. We have distress, very severe and protracted, among a large section- of the working classes in London and elsewhere. We have discon tent—l fear I may say disaffection— ra th er w id e l y spread in Ireland. And does any man believe that it would have been a little or an insignificant addi tion to these difficulties if, in every town of Eng land, you had had a large part of the poorer popu lation believing itself to be unjustly deprived of po litical rights, and ready, many of them, in the be lief to follow any unscrupulous agitator who might find it his interest to trade on their passions ? (Hear, hear.) I will not deny that the constitu tional change of last year is one of a serious charac ter. Nor do I affirm that any man can with abso lute certainty predict all its results. Butl c er t a i n l y do not look at them with the alarm which i s ex pressed in some quarters, when it is said, " Work ing men a re a ma j or ity in the new constit uenc i es. They can do what they please. Your are absolutely in their hands." It naturally occurs to me to ask, Who were the majority ? Who were the most nu merous class in the old constituencies ? W e ll, I apprehend the answer would be, small tradesmen, tenant farmers, and persons hi that rank of life ; but I look in vain through the legislation of the Lest thirty years for any indication that small trades men and tenant-farmers have directed in any pecu liar or exclusive sense either the making or adminis tration of our constitutional laws. (I lear, hear.) Others say, Look at the colonies—see how things are managed there. My answer i s , We are not a colony—we are an old co un t ry , w ith ancient tradi tions and social habits deeply rooted; and I do not believe wealth fairly used, and culture which is real as well as showy, will easily lose in England the in fluence which they at present possess over the English people. (Cheers.) Some of you may think that I have been sangui ne i n w h at I h ave s aid, and perhaps it is no less sa ngu i ne to h ope, as I do hope, that the next two or th ree years may no t p ass away without leaving behind th em somet hi ng which shall be not less memo ra bl e t h an t h e R e f or m Bill of 1867 in the social history of the country. (Hear.) By that something I mean a wise, a large, and a well-considered measure for the education of the people. (Loud cheers.) That is a ques tion with which the Conservative party are not one whit behind th e i r opponents i n t h e d e • sire, and, as I b e li eve, i n the power, to deal. (Cheers.) Lord De r by was the foun d er o f that system of national t eac hi ng which still, t h oug h i n a modified form, su b s i sts i n Ireland. My friend Sir J. Pakington, who sits beside me, long ago took up the question as it relates to England. Others of us have helped according to the measure of our ability, and I think the present time is favourable. (Cheers.) Well, gentlemen, there is another subject on which I fear I can't speak in an equal tone. It is one which I suppose at the pre sent moment is hardly ever absent from the mind of any person who takes part in public affairs. I Mean the painful, the dangerous, and to us, in ap pearance at least, the discreditable state of things which unhappily continues to exist in Ireland. We have, indeed, in that country a strange and per plexing problem to solve. I suppose there was a time when Englishmen of all parties and all classes were more anxious to give all reasonable satis faction to Irish demands, and even, as far as can be done, without national injury, to humour the feelings and prejudices of the Irish people. (Hear, hear.) The material condition of Ireland is not bad; certainly it is far above the average of what it has been in former years ; the peasantry are better fed, better clothed, and better paid than they were twenty years ago. (Hear, hear.) The more educated class share absolutely, and without restriction, the advantages of British citizenship. Nothing is wanted excepEtnaglliistthlewpeeaaltch ha peace and security for uncounted millions o f B r i t i sh spoure d capital to into pour into Scotland, that country and a ass it continues every day to pour into colonies that are separated from us by the breadth of the globe. Well, gentlemen, if I were not wearying you—(cries of " No, Ile).— there is that other question of the land up on w hi c h I should like to say a word or two. I want to se e p th a a r t ii q am ues en ti t, thoroughlyonwfiuthlloyutadnidsguiseonany side as to w h a t argued out in mt of compensation demand constantly to be grantedy put forward as i you ßm e a a ll tit.T know,ishe d that to the tenant for improvements which he has made. That, under proper safeguards, •is well enough. We have admitted the principle. But, when you have settled that point, the fu n d amenta l cause of difference still remains. What, I won ' t say the Irish peasant, but a considerable num b er foofr improvements. plrriosvhereanstas _ w hich not one i n a hundredntry, want, is not a compensation ever make—but to be transformed, without pay ment, from yearly tenants into owners of -the soil. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) No, that is a dAnand which I cannot conceive, under any circumstances, that a British legislator can assent to. (Loud cheers, and a voice, " Certainly not.") [f the principle is good for Ireland it is good for England also ; and more than that, if the operation is to be performed once it will have to be repeated indefi nitely, for the tenant turned proprietor might, of course, sublet, and if I know anything of Irish na ture, he certainly will—(hear, hear)—and then you will have a fresh class of tenants at will under the same conditions as those wh) existed before, with only this difference, that you will have removed a body of landlords who were tolerably well to do, and substituted for them others who will be needy, and consequently very exacting. (Cheers.) Nor must you forget this, that under a. system of innu merable small ownerships you would have the very worst evil of the Ireland of old days repeated—l mean the continual subdivision of holdings, and the consequent indefinite - multipliation of paupers. Then there is the Abyssinian wnr, and very vexa tious it is, but we are beginning, I think, to see the difficulties of that expedition have been greatly over rated in the public opinion, and though I am afraid that in point of money it will be very expensive, yet I think we have every reason to believe not merely that success will be attained, but that it will b. at tained at a comparatively small cost o! life. (Cheers.) If we look to Europe, I would say that notwithstanding that vast increase of continental armaments which we have all observed, and which we must all regret—notwithstandin g that, I do not think that there is any reason to fear an early dis turbance of the general peace. (Hear, hear, and. cheers.) Great armaments may sometimes be in tended as a menace to other States, but very often, also, they are merely a sign of distrust, a pre caution taken against real or imaginary danger. Even these wretched Fenian troubles are not altogether without their compensation. They have called out the English spirit of loyalty and order ; they have shown us how few and feeble are those would-be disturbeis of the public peace ; and they have shown us something which is not less important—that together with a firm' de termination to put down outbreaks if they should occur, there is in the English mind no feeling of blind anger, no hasty or indiscriminate panic, but r,ather, a feeling of mingled perplexity and pity— pity for the ignorant men who have been duped and misled into crime; perplexity to understand how and why we should be so much detested by persons to whom we wish nothing but good. (Cheers.) It only remains for me to thank you, in my own name and that of my colleagues, for the reception of this evening, and to assure you that what is here seen and heard in Bristol will not be soon forgotten. (The noble lord resumed his seat amidst loud and prolonged cheers.) Sir GEO. JENKINSON proposed " The House of Lords," which was acknowledged by Earl BA THURST. Sir W. MILES proposed "The House of Com- mons." Mr. G. HARDY, who met with a most hearty re fe said p il t o i s :Ti f o h r r a e s t v h r e t n h o d a which he has been. pleased to allude to any services e nt d hd . asonmk T e h m e ayn r d i g k l i i fin t adt h tef o rr n ii on . ngd g , e t n es t r i ni e ri m s n n. that I have rendered in the office which I have had the honour to hold. lam glad to have beard those hearty accents, which were never heard in the retained t House of.

(Cheers.) My noble friend has spoken of the reasons which rendered it necessary to introduce a measure of Parliamentary Reform. Parliament itself had made a Reform Bill absolut4 necessary ; in 1859 the Conservative party were themselves parties to a Reform Bill ; and but for the course of procedure which was then adopted—a coarse which I will not now characterise —a settlement of the question might then have been arrived at which would have lasted for many years. (Cheers). When we took office—or rather I may say when we were forced into office by the peculiar circumstances of 1866—a Reform Bill had become an absolute necessity. Every party in Parliament was pledged to it. Every bill that had been proposed on the subject had been read a second time, and what is more, the House of Commons was pledged to a reduction . of the franchise, the only point remaining to be settled on this question being whether that reduction should be made on the principle of a fixed rental or of a rating franchise. In considering this question we had to decide whether we should undertake so great a task with e a determination to bring it to a perma nent conclusion, or whether we should only effect such a settlement as would be made the ground-work of a renewed and even dangerous agitation. We determined to fix it on a basis which we believe would be durable and permanent. (Cheers.) We have lately been told that attempts will be made to remove what I believe to be the fundamental principle of the Act, viz., that clause under which every voter will bear a portion of the burdens of the country ; but I believe the good sense of the country will decide that the residuum which cannot pay its rates must still remain a residuum, and justly so. (Cheers.) It is not in such a presence as this that it is necessary to vindicate our course. When it is necessary to do so we shall be ready. But not to linger any more on the past, I hope we shall receive from this occasion such encouragement for the future as may tend to bring about results which will long have a beneficial influence on the pros perity and happiness of the country. If you have come to this banquet merely to cheer, and then re turn to yuur homes and become the idle and apa thetic Conservative party—if you withdraw your selves from the masses about to be enfranchised, you will bring about the very danger which has been so much deprecated, of separating class from class, as if I and my noble friends were not every bit as hard-working men as any of you. (Cheers.) Let us blend and unite ourselves together, and go down into the great arena which has been opened up by the new Act of Parliament ; you will there have a great audience, and, if you fight for your principles like men, you will find that you will derive far greater support from it than many of us are at present disposed to expect. But we are told we have swept away all the barriers, and that chaos will come again. I will repeat the lines welch have been used by a working man : " In other lands, by slightest shock, The civil fabric falls ; In ours, eternal' as the rock, It rears its massive walls— A barrier to convulsion firm, Firm as our island shore, Which has rolled back ten thousand storms, And shall ten thousand more." Not like chaos, and not like the bursting of a reser voir, which breaks its banks from want of attention or from improper construction, but like the flooding of the Nile, which the Egyptian awaits, and as it spreads over the land hopes that it will fertilise the soil; , so I trust the result with us may be the spread of peace, religion, and contentment. (Cheers.) A number of other toasts followed, and protracted the proceedings, which were of the most enthu siastic character, to a late hour. STORAGE OF GUNPOWDER IN LIVERPOOL.—A com mittee of the Liverpo I Chamber of Commerce reported to the meeting of the council yesterday that they had made inquiries into rumours, which had caused much anxiety, that considerable quantities of gunpowder were stored in Liverpool, and they had ascertained that there was no cause for alarm, and that the arrangements for storing and de livering palmy* were pufficieut to prevent Acchltmt.

STAMPED sd. SPIRIT OP THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Times condoles with the men of Bristol that neither the chief of the Ministry nor the leader of the House of Commons attended their banquet. But Sir J. Pakington and Mr. Hardy were present, and Lord Stanley, whose words perhaps inspire more confidence than those of any other member of the Ministry, made the speech of the evening. He was in his happiest vein. He took his hearers into his confidence, and when he is frank and con_ fidential he is apt, as members of the Houk . se of Commons are well aware, to be extremely winning. Some slight retrospect he made of the work of last session. It had brought great responsibilities, frequent anxieties, no incon siderable obloquy on the Ministry. The change which had been effected was important, and no one can pretend to predict with certainty its results. But Lord Stanley de serves credit for speaking his mind on the Irish question. There is undoubtedly widespread discontent, and thi, although the material condition of the in4abitants of Ireland is far better than it was twenty years ago. What is to be the remedy for it? Nothing less than a separate national existence is demanded by the Fenian con spirators, while more constitutional agitators declare that the repeal of the Union is the single means of restoring peace. Those who ask for the one or the other are asking, Lord Stanley declares, for what they can never obtain. Ireland and England are inseparable now and for ever. This, indeed, is accepted as a starting point in the discussion by every practical politician, but it is not amiss that it should be reaffirmed with decision. The Times believes that the dream of nationality expressed in the demands thus emphatically negatived is an evanescent folly, cherished by very few of the inhabitants of Ireland, imported from elsewhere, and destined to disappear through its own want of substance. There remain the two great subjects of parliamentary controversy, the Church and the land. As to the first, Lord Stanley declined to say a word about it. It was impossible, he urged, that a dying Parliament should undertake to legislate upon such a question, and it must be remitted to the Parliament returned by the new constituencies. It is plain that no Reformer will object to this delay. If the party ordinarily believed to be the peculiar defenders of the ecclesiastical establishment of Ireland are willing to trust its fate to the Reformed Parliament, with all its imperfections on its head, the Opposition cannot refuse their assent. The land question admits of more than definite criticism, Lord Stanley put aside, with a brief but felicitous exposi tion of the evil consequences which would flow from it, the wild suggestion, broached in more than one quarter, that the present tenants of the soil should be converted into proprietors, subject only to the payment of the exist ing rents to their landlords. The futility, to say nothing of the injustice, of such a plan is evident on the least re flection, and it is discreditable to our political intelligence that any one should have been encouraged to put it for ward. But while Lord Stanley energetically repudiated quacks and quackery in dealing with Ireland, he admitted the fairness, under proper safeguards, of conceding to the tenant compensation for any improvements he has made, and referred to the fact that the Ministry had approved the principles of such a measure. As the late Adminis tration had also embodied it in a bill introduced by them selves, it would seem that the proper aim of legislation has been discovered, and the differences which exist must be found in the method of achieving it. In an article on the imprisonment of Matilda Griggs, the Post expresses its belief that the entir . e . system on which criminal prosecutions are conducted in this country is faulty in the extreme, and the committal to prison of a young girl who narrowly escaped being murdered is simply a grotesque illustration of one of the many anomalies of the existing law. Except in grave cases, the task of pro secuting criminals is imposed on private individuals, and the discharge of this duty is provided for by the clumsy expedient of personal recognisances. The consequences are that a great hardship is inflicted on unoffending indi viduals, who are thus compelled to put themselves to great expense and in convenience in order to vindicate the outraged rights of society. If they attempt—whether from disin clination or from stronger motives— to withdraw from the position into which they are forced, they are heavily mulcted, on, if paupers, are sent to prison. If, however, this system in practice proved tolerably effectual in secur, ing the due administration of justice, it might have little ground for complaint. But such is not the case. It not %Infrequently happens that the supposed delinquent finis the means of satisfying a prosecutor or a witness that more is to be gained by absenting himself on the occasion of the trial than by being present, and in such cases justice is openly defeated. The imposition of a recognisance in directly gives a prosecutor or a witness the option of with drawing on condition of paying the amount confessed to he due, and if this be done there is no means of punishing the most flagrant contumacy. Apropos of strikes, the Daily News remarks that while the labourer and capitalist maintain their hostile attitude the whole country suffers. Trade unionists assure us that a successful strike causes a permanent addition to their incomes, but they have never shown that this gain com pensates for the diminution of the national wealth occa sioned by the cessation of national industry which is involved in all strikes and lock -outs. Nor has it been demonstrated that any artificial increase in the price of laVour, whether due to united action on the part of the labourer, or the restat of special legislation, is not a na tional misfottune. No one in his senses would leap from the summit of St. Paul's, in defiance of the law of gravi tation; and the insanity is as great, though perhaps more excusable, of him who violates any one of the laws of economic science. Ignorance of immutable economic laws is the excuse for many of the mistakes committed by the uncompromising trade unionist. On the other hand, the capitalists, if less ignorant, have seldom shown more wisdom in their dealings with labourers. It is glad to observe, however, that since Mr. Mundella delivered his lecture on Courts of Conciliation, a strong feeling has been manifested throughout the country in favour of the solu tion of the labour question in a way resembling that advo cated and practised by him. Until the contending parties can meet on common ground, it is absurd to expect a definite cessation of hostilities. Speaking on the Italian budget of Count Cambray- Digny, the Standard observes : The creditors of Italy had their heads full of very alarming apprehensions ; some feared that the Minister of Finance might propose to pay them in paper, or even to. stop paying them altogether ; others, buoyed up by greater confidence, yet dreaded that he would propose a tax upon their dividends ; and the most sanguine were almost convinced that he would ask authority for the issue of a new loan, which must tumble down the price of their already depreciated securities. Count Cambray-Digny has done nothing of the kind. He has only acknowledged that unless the Parliament will impose additional taxation to the extent of six millions sterling, and agree to administrative reforms by which an economy of half a million may be effected, the deficit upon the year 1869 will be nearly ten millions sterling. Presto there is a general sense of relief. The credit of Italy has risen in the European markets, and the Italian Parliament will be left to battle over the question of ways and means, without much attention from those most interested in their conclusions. Among the " grievances " of Indian officers the stiff old rules ironically styled furlough regulations held a high place. They were framed expressly to discourage appli cations for leave, and they hedged round the permission, when granted, with conditions intended to restrict the area of travel within Asiatic limits.

But steam and i the overland inevi table. Accordingly, new regulations, conceived in a liberal spirit, and applicable not only to the soldiers, but to the civilians, have been drawn in Calcutta by a committee of able men. Under the new rules, ample terms of leave and fair pay during absence can be obtained; but no man, whatever be his claim, can remain away from India, on pay, for more than two years. Raving secured a furlough, an officer can spend his time where he pleases. Nor does prolonged absence forfeit employment as it did under the old rules. The great gains are, the liberal terms of leave, the permission to retain a post held when the officer quitted India, and the abolition of restrictions affecting residence. As the highest authorities in India have sanctioned the new regulations, and as the Secretary of State is known to favour a generous treatment of our civil and military servants, it is to be hoped that the con templated change will not, be obstructed by the India Council, but that the proposed equitable improvements will speedily receive every needful sanction.
