TUESDAY, APRICI6, 1872:

NOT Of TUN WHEK.

Her Majesty is about to visit the east end of
London, having graciously intimated her inten-
tion to be present at the opening of the new
museum at Bethnal Green, and inspect Victoria
Park. The Prince and Princess of Wales con-
tinue their tour in Italy. The Duke of Edinburgh
presided at the annual meeting of the Natioual
Lifeboat Association, which now has 240 life-
boats under it. management, and these, since
this formation of the society, have been !natru-
mental in rescuing 21,000 shipwrecked seamen.
Prince Arthur is at the Camp at Shornchffe.
In Parliament the Ballot Bill makes very poor
progress. The meanest details are inordinately
but it is significant that all the amend-
ments premed to • division are negatived.
There have been rumours that a favourable
massage has already been received from Washing-
ton. Be it as it may—and it is probably er-
roneous—the adjourned consideration by the
United States Cabinet of Earl Granville's last
despatch is in itself a good token. But this la
not aIL The House of Representatives has been
formally called upon to affirm by resolution
that the claims for indirect damages in connec-
tion with the Alabama escape is contrary to the
meaning of the treaty, and that the claiins should
be considered waived : and that resolution has
been referred to the Washington Foreign Affairs
Committe. The Americans openly admit that
their only expectation in presenting a claim for
consequential damages at Geneva is to get it
buried. One would then imagine it not so very
difficult for them to make use of the golden
bridge Mr. Bright has kindly prepared—ride his
letter to Mr. Cyrus Field, published in the New
York papers, viz., that they will give up pressing
the claims objected to before the Geneva tribu-
nal, letting them remain where they are as
"historic evidence of their sense of the miqpil-
tad* of their grievance I"
The American papers are not slow to admit
that It is a feature in the case to find John
Bright as sturdily opposed to them as Mr.
Disraeli or Mr. Gladstone; that "the views of
such an old and steadfast friend of America and
American institutions are especially entitled to
a kindly hearing." No one will undervalue Mr.
Bright's good offices on returning to public life,
sites his long retirement, if it should be found
that he has assisted in saving arbitration and
British diplomacy from everlasting diagram.
The right. hon. gentleman deserves the respect
of the Americana He has " direct " claims on
them, and let it not be forgotten, as " mese-
suicidal," that the right lion, gentleman is
already nominated for the first Presidential chair
in the English Republic. How much this ought
to weigh with our cousins in the West I though
to be sure Mr. Bright smiles at Republican Wk
In F-cgland, which, he says, may safely be left to
posterity, and considers that the man who pro-
poses to make him first President cannot be a
vary desperate character, though he doubts if he
can be a friend.

,
Sir Wilfred Lawson has pointed out our other
treaty entanglements, and moved an address to
ER Majesty " praying that she would take the
needful steps for withdrawing from all trestles
binding this country to intervene by force of
arms in the affairs of other nations." It appears
that we have given guarantees with regard to
Hoodursa and the Central American States,
Greece, Portugal, Switzerland, Sweden, and
Norway, Denmark, Belgium, Turkey, and other
"small or weak States ; and it is only natural to
wish that we had no such responsibilities: but
the House of Commons refused to sanction
whet would practically be the principle of repu-
diation by 126 to 21 votes—a majority of
exactly 6to 1. It is well that it has done so, am
a matter of esdiency only, for this Is not the
moment to tell the world that we shall not keep
our Weaty e ta, and that little States
may be abeor with impunity by their greater
neighbours.
At length the criminal prosecution of the
Tichborne "ax-claimant" is advancing. The
I%tpiry have found him guilty of perjury and
. He will be tried at the Queen's Bench
but the case will not come on until June. The
Attorney-General has defended the employment
of six minuet, on the ground that the case is of
too vast proportions to be otherwise dealt with,
the issue, to him, la simple enough.
thoOtanor, the youth who endeavoured to
frighten the Queen with an old pistol, pleaded
guilty, and, setting 'aide the medical evidence,
jury found the prisoner sane, and the judge
sentenced him to be imprisoned for a year, and
to receive twenty strokes from a birch rod.
The movement among farm labourers and the
anti-movement among farmers increases in in- :
tenet. '.me waggoner," as Lord Sydney
Godolphin Osborne remarks, in one of his
powerful letters to the Tina, "is at last going
to put his shoulder to the wheel-" There is no
disguising the fact, "he Is going to find mouth
to tell his own tale, the arm to work out his own
deliverance." "&G.0." finds the labourer's
home the only unimproved spot in the land.
Mandan (he says) have become as plains,
homestead, as palaces. The landowner's stables
and the tenant-farmers beast-sheds have had all
that 0614200 could suggest or money purchase of
healthy economy given to them. Seen the vil-
lages—the eye soon sees ample evidence of the
growth of luxury and comfort pervading where
all dee dwells of life, save and except where the
eye rein on the labourer's home." Be looks, as
his "one hope" to the leaders at the village
"meeting "or chapel to preserve moderation and
respect for the law in tha' contest. "Theorists,"
be concludes, "must now be met; the hand-
writing Is on the wall in language which cannot
be inistaken—uo angry forcible means can ob. i
literate it? It is satisfactory to see that the
labourers, safer, have resisted the blandishments
of the Trade,' Unionists; and, it is clear, that
judicious contusions might now prevent the
Impending evil of a general combination of
the agricultural labourers, with ultimate tyranny
and exaction over the farmers, who are now being
=with exacting. Why should not the
avoided by an agreement between farmers
and landlord' 1 That it may be done was shown
by what took place at the Salisbury Quarter
Seedons on Wednesday. Lord Radnor took the
opportunity to appeal to the grand jury, as em-
ployers, to meet the agitation in a conciliatory
spirit. "We cannot quite agree with your
lordship," said the foreman, Mr. Marsh, "that
the wealth of the country has generally increased.
All farmers, We fail to recognise the improvement,
and believe that than who profit by the increased
wealth should be this first to pay." " I am sorry,"
said Lard Radnor, in reply, if the farmers are
.s4lO thriving se they could wish to be; and
I irai may say that I shall be prepared to help
my tenants in every way in my power. I will
meet them half way in order that the existing
grievance may be remedied." Of come the
gaud jury thanked Lord Radnor for this pro-
mise, and everything unded pleasantly, one of
the jeress suggesting that the farmers would get
their difficulty very well if the rut of
the landlords would follow Lord
Ilianor's example. The movement in the agri-
cultural dbtrista, if mottled at all, must be by
the fanners and landlords oombined. hir.
me:leelegently tells the former that ifthey

who, be says, will not be reduced to
pow by ascoosilog.
