NOT OF THE WEEK.

Vice-Chancellor Stuart delivered his judgment
on Wednesday, on the Huddersfield tenant-
right case, or, in other words, on the dispute
between Sir John Hamden and his tenantry in
the Yorkshire town. There are about three
thousand tenants on the estate at Huddersfield,
who have got ground from Sir John's ancestors,
on the understanding that when they had built
on it they should have leases; but no written
agreements were drawn up. On the faith of
the understanding they did build, many of them
expending large sums of money, and then Sir
John Ramadan insisted that they were only 1
tenants at will. H. served notices of eviction,
on which one of the tenants, the plaintiff in 11
this case, filed a bill, and the case was argued.
The hearing of the evidence occupied seven or
eight days, at the close of which the Court Inti-
matedthat the plaintiff's counsel need not reply
—a circumstance which was considered toindicate
that the judgment would be in favour of the
tenants. The general impression there enter-
tained bee been folly verified. Sir Johr Stuart
ruled that Sir John Hamden could not be allowed
to disturb the plaintiff in his possession of the
land, and thst be was entitled to a lease at an
increased rent, renewable for ever. Sir John
Ramadan was ordered to pay costs of the suit.
The decision in this individual case will, of
course, hold good as regards the remaining
tenants.

Marshal Pelimier is dead. The event has
occurred at • most inopportune time—s time
when Algeria, of which he was both governor
and military commander, is in a state of re-
bellion. In Algeria as in India, the Mahometans
have endeavotired to throw off the dominion of
the race which they considered infidel. In the
French Southern colony, as in the English Indian
Empire, prophecies kayo been rife of the
approaching downfall of the usurper, and a vast
couspirauy has been organized and has taken the
dominant race by surprise. It now appears that
the insurrection in Algeria is closely connected
with the rising in Tunis, and that the whole of
North Africa, from the confines of Morocco to
Tripoli, is in • state of fermentation. Swiftly
and almost silently the Ftenuh Government is
despatching large reinforcements to the 'Mlle of
these disturhanne, and just at this critical
moment, Marshal Polisher, one of the most
illustrious of French soldiers, and the man upon
whose military experience, as well as upon lin
acquaintance with the people, bisi been eirried
off by a sharp, painful, and sudden illness. In-
dependently of its pre-eminent inopportuneness,
this event has an iiiterest for English readers.
It was Pelissier who commanded the French
army during the most important period of the
Crimean war. After the death of St. Arnaud,
his old comrade in the Algerian war, and, it
' must be added, his accomplice in the atrocities of
Ouled With, and after the brief and somewhat
I feeble iuterregnum of Canrobert, Polisher was
selected to conduct the operations against
Sebastopol. He shared with Lord Raglan the
mortification of the disastrous assault of the ,
18th June, in which, after a conflict of 48 hours, I
the allies were repulsed with great loss. That,
disaster broueht the death of Lord Raglan. But I
though the French loss was nearly three times
our own, the French General was made of
sterner staff than mire. He survived to see the
splendid and successful assault of September Bth.
He ass made a Marshal after the fall ef
Sebastopol. He was appointed Duke of
Malakhoff, and • Senator, and • pension of
i:4,000 was settled upon his children. Two
years later he became a Grand Chancellor of the
Order of the Legion of Honour. In the year
1858, at the time when the relations between
England and France were rendered extremely
critical by the Orsini attempt, and the defeat of
Lord Palmerston's Conspiracy to Murder Bill,
when, in fact, according to Mr. Disraeli, war
was a question of hours, he was appointed to
succeed Peraigny as ambassador at London.
But diplomacy was not to his taste. After
occupying the embassy from March 23rd, 1858,
to April 23rd, 1859, he got himself recalled,
and returned to the far more genial sphere of the
army. He took no active part in the Italian
campaign, but was appointed to command the
army of observation at Nancy, a position of
great importance considering the unfriendly
attitude of Prussia. The selection of such a
man for such a post made a profound impres-
sion in Europe. In November, 1880, Manhal
I Pelissier returned to the field of his early
I successes, being appointed Governor General of
I Algeria. His career in that country had been
such as few persona could have looked back
I upon with unmixed satisfaction. His cruel
treatment of a brave seamy will be a lasting
, stain upon his reputation. The shutting up of
I a large number of Arabs in • cave and burning
them to death, was an atrocity which excited
the greenish indignation in Francs. General
Bugeaud, however, declared that Pelimier had
acted only according to orders, and took upon
himself the whole responsibility of the transac-
tion, Whether this were so or not, few officers
would have felt that any commands justified them
in becoming the cruelest of murderers.
Pentanes later associations with Algeria have
been far more satisfactory than his earlier. He
seems to have governed with firmness and
yet with moderation. He assured the Arabs
that their apprehensions of extermination by
the bands of Europeans were not well founded •,
that the Emperor Napoleon was the Emperor of
the Arabs as well as of the French; and that so
long as they here loyal and obedient they
would have nothing to fear. In spite of these
assurances the Arabs have rebelled, and the in.
ourrection will demand the promptest measures
for its suppression.
Mr. Reed, the official entrusted with the
lonia re-construction of our navy, has built •
ship which has been unable to withstand the fire
of unshotted guns, and is at the present time
building seven vessels of the same kind, at an
estimated cost of over a million sterling. Suchl
is the startling announcement in the paper*. '
But, perhaps some will say, who is this Mr.
Reed I He is a person whose practical ex-
perience was insufficient to qualify him as a
leading man of dock-yards, and whoee only ex-
ploits were in the pages of the bloclumic.s'
hfciecuirs. The facility to seize other persons'
ideas aud to write them u; haa been taken by
the Admiralty as a proof of practical skill, and I
Mr. Reed ms app the Armstrong of our

navy. As Sir William Armstrong, the lawyer,
received carts blanch" to make guns, eri Mr.
Reed. the editor of • magasine, receives carte
blaneka to build ships. Both persons are
allowed to alter and adopt the ideas of other
persons, and to appenpriate the honour of any
swami that may arise out Of ill their eipen-
menta. In the meanwhile all other designers
are kept out of the field, and the country is
called on to pay for a succession of experimental
blunders winch would never have been perpe-
trated but for official favouritism. As the
110-pound breech-loader haa not been the only
failure 'Anon; guns, so the Reisarei hit not
been the only Mute among ships. The ter-
prise cut so sorry • figure on her trial, that Mr.
Rood is now adding a brazen beak to her bluff
cut-water, at a cost of £4OO, and a greater cost
of wages to the officers and crew of the vessel,
which, though commissioned some mont s since,
is still in the bands of the shipwrights. Mr.
Reed says our Warriors, Defences, and Mino-
taur' are mistakes. He may be right, but if he
Is, we can no longer sing "Britannia rules the
waves."

- --
Messrs. Laird, of Birkmhead, have sold their
steam rams to Government, and the impending
trial has accordingly been stopped. That Go-
vernment has acted wisely there can be no doubt,
for after the decision in the Alexander case, it
was exceedingly doubtful whether they would
have been ablo to obtain a verdict in their
favour in reference to the steam rams. 'nese
two vessels are said to be the most formidable
that have ever been launched in this or any
other tiounti7 ; and that as their price was only a
quarter of a million sterling, they are the
cheapest in the British navy. If this he so the
sooner the Admiralty set about refOrming
matters the better.
_

The AmetiCan war is one of the most severe
histories that ever taxed the brain or tortured
the heart of the journalist. Well may we ques-
tion the saneness of those engaged in It, for it is
a scandal to the whole civilized world. It is an
appeal to passion rather than to feeling—to mere
brute force on the one side, and the powers of
°odorant)e on the other. Armed with the most
deadly weapons ever invented fbr the destruction
of man, the strategy of ancient end modern
warrant appears to be condemned or wholly
thrown aside for the purpose of calling into play
the powers of endurance and personal prowess.
As it was at the commencement of this fratricidal
war, so it is at present ; the foie object, end, and
aim of the Name,' is declaratively to crush out,
and if lief:emery to annihilate, those who by
separatiLg themselves from the Union have
thrown into shadow the greatness of the past.
What, therefore, is left to the Confederate, but
to defend themselves to the death 1 Hence the
savage nature of the conflict. It is not—it has
not been from the beginning—a question of
slavery, nor of form of governance, nor of party
surpremacy, disputed pnvileges, or illegal taxa-
tion, but'a natural coneelnenne Of an union of
opposites, without one common tie to strengthen
and pre•eree It, beyond the speaking of one
Common language. The South is the antipodes
of the North. The climate is different, the
manners, cuittome, halite, and pursuits differ
as widely as the climates differ. The very
products of the soil are changed in their
nature. In the North man is braced to action.
In the South the influences of a tropical climate
lead him to repose—to reflection rather than to
physical exertion in field or forest labour; hence
the exemplification of his superior powers of in-
tellect—posers that have led him to adopt and
cherish slavery as the white man's privilege, and
the black man's punishment, for being inferior
In intellectual power. What could be expected
of the unity of such contraritiee, each imbued
with the highest notions of independence and
contempt for each other? The opening of the
summer campaign of 1864 is distinguished by a
series of bloody engagements, that, from their
effects, treat all that we read of in modern
warfare, and resemble more the exterminating
conflicts of the feudal ages, when man was
opposed to man, armed in his panople of steel.
The battles which have been fought by the
armies of Grant on the one side and Lee on the
other, have resulted in an extent of desolation
which it is appalling to contemplate. Grant
evidently takes no account of human life. He
craned the Rapidan with 150,000 men lie had:
intended to master the Confederates by numbers
and main force, and march over their bodies or
drive them before him into Richmond. In this.
however, he "reckoned without his host"
Manhattan says the first three dare fighting cost
the Federal& ill killed, wounded, and taken
prisoners, 27,000. Three days afterwards the
I number had reached to 40,000, and that at the
I close of ten days' fighting the list had further
augmented to 85,000 ! This may be an a:sr/gent-
non, but some of the New York papers admit a
loss of from 50,000 to 60,000—• number as great
at Lee possessed at the time the dreadful carnage
commenced. Grant lost seven Generals,
amongst them Sedgwick, one of the ablest Nor-
thern commanders, shot through the head while
planting a battery. Of one New York regiment
only 15 men are left ; another lost 590 out of
700; and I leneral Robinsoul division was en-
tirely annihilated. The Federal, gained some
partial advantages, but the result of their fight-
ing was, upon the whole, • complete failure.
Lee is in a strong position on the Po river at
Spottsylvanix, about ten miles from the Rapidan.
Grant is now waiting for the arrival of fresh
troops, to replete° his slain and wounded in the
late battle, Mit Lee, it Jaunt!, *ill bit also largely
reinforoed. The efforts made to compass Lee's
overthrow and to reach Richmond from other
quarters have likewise signally failed. General
Butler has been forced to relinquish the ground
he had gained possession of between Petersburg
and Richmond, whilst General Sigel has been
vigorously repulsed at New Market, and forced
back, over the Shenandoah Valley river into
Stratburgh, With a lose of 1,000 Med and S guns.
The only clotid in the reoord of ConfederaW
suceessei is the defeat of Genoral Johnstone
at Resaca, after two days fighting, and
his forced retreat into Georgia. General
Sherman who commanded the Federals
wat Resew:, is stated to have captured 8 guns
and 4,000 prisoners, but his victory cost him A
loss of 3MO Men. The greet battle, therefore,
with Lee is yet to come. Nor shall we have
long to wait to learn its results. We confess
that we anticipate it with some horror, on account
of the details of wholesale slaughter with whiyh
it must be burdened. And *hat will be the
end of all theee monstrous encounters 1 Our
opinion is, as it has ever been, that the political
relations between the North and the South will
still remain unchanged and unaffected by them.
The Union is gone for ever I
From America the mind naturally turns to
Denmark. A Berlin paper of Tueedity informs us,
on the authority bf a telegram from Vienna, that
"the representatives of England and France have
made declarations to Count Reobberg abandoning
the treaty of 1652, agreeing to the union of South
Slesvig with Holstein as • separate state, indepen-
dent of Ostmark, and absolutely rejecting • personal
union with that Slats." This has, to some extent,
been confirmed by the Europe, which says that the
members of the Conference were halting between a
general war and • proposal for " the constitution of
HAstein and the German portion of filsevig in •
single Blase; the people to decide by universal
suffrage upon the interior Government they would
prefer • and Me remainder of filesvig to be united to
the Danish monarchy." The Moral*, Poe of
Saturday hen also an artiole on the subject, tending
to confirm the statement of the Europe. This pre.
sassed organ of the Premier mays that "the beau of
settlement to be offered for the oossideratioe of the
plenipotentiaries is the subdivision of the Doohy of
Slating—the northern part to be joined to the
Danish monarchy, and the southern to be =alp.
mated with the Duchy of Slesvig. The new state,
or province, or sub-division, is then to 'decide foe
itself as to its future form of Governmest." The
telegrams, however, inform us that at • Council of
Ministers at Copenhagen, it has been resolved not
to consent to the suggested or proposed division of
Slesvig, and that if this is premed on the Confer***
the Danish plenipotentiaries are to leave London
forthwith. For our own part we question whether
the proposal will be assented to either by Denmark
or Germany.
On Thursday the Bank of England again lowered
its rate of discount from 8 to 7 per cant, a
reduction of 2 per cent. within • fortnight.
The Bank of France followed suit, by
dropping from 7to 6 per mot. A further &ohne
is expected before lon.g, but the Tissee holds out a
warning that evil days are coming, when a rate of
10, 12, or even 15 per cent, will have to be adopted.
Our contemporary argues that the protest soap
parative ease in the money market must aggravate
the evil that is finally to be witnessed in consequence
of the manner in which the public have surrendered
themselves to donator's of all kinds.
