at Lubin, in Ituseian Poland. We du not learn what
the nature of the demonetretion was, but we ',Femme
the fact of its biting popular was bufficient to make it

able cut way well feel provoked to arm, by a public
gathertng of the least bellicose kind. Accordingly we
learn without surprise that the military oummander
"repressed" the demonstration with energy ; and we

polities, Ism decided oat • complete system of military
operatioos. All the disposable treope have been sent to
the artily of Ileum:Ha, there being only retnined for the
maintenance of tranquillity in the capital the personal
guard of the Sultan and the corps of zapti6l, organieed
on the plan of the French gendarmery, and who have
already rendered very essential services to the country.
The Sultan continues to display great activity. Three
regiments .4 infantry left on the 7th, after haying been
revieeed by :Us Majesty and the Minister of War.
The Settee delivered a short address, which produced a
very favourable impreesion on the minds both of
officers bud men. Since the new reign the army has
Icon reend.rly paid end well kept. The Minister of
Foreign Affair., lias received • note from the official
*gent f the Prime of Servis, to which he has replied
that the bine of it would not allow hien to lay it before
the Sultan.
INDIA—The Vllowing is a letter kern aCrileutta cote
risimudent:—Considerable•nziety is feltas tothe income
of the year, in consequence of the rapid fall in the price
of oi,ium. The cotton n,,,venmcntiuu England ham given
riee to west exertions on the ran of the officials in this
country to make India an efficient substitute for the
Southern States of the Aniericau Union. The Govern-
ment has done all which a Government could be ex-
.. , . .

pected to do towaribi the promotion of this important
object— an object which. if suceessfally accomplished,
will do mole towards the real tin;on of England and
India than all the legislative enactments that were ever
planned, fur it will be a union not of policy, but of
intereete. Good government manifeated by the pre-
sence in every district of •n efficient police of summary
courts of justice will then become a necesaity. The
liappinees of the millions of Indian will be iiiterwuven
with the prosperity of the cotton lords of Maticheater,
for the I.ibou Fero of Itol i• asf ree labourers, whose willing-
beat to work may be measured by the amount of
material comfort secured tothein. It isgratifying,then,
so see all cheeses working to bring about • result no
important to all. The Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal
hos even recommended, as an exceptional case, that
Government factories should be established in the
Chittagong hills for bnying, cleaning, and screwing hill
cotton, ancli as is suitable to the English market. Mr.
Giant considers ti:C CAR!. with respect to this particular
locality, PS eltogelluer ezceptional, and lie argues that
the 'conversion of the savage Kuokies f their habits
of IllUlderous incursions into the plains for the purpose
of cutting elf human Leads, aud carrying away aiunen
into almery tn halits of peacefully raising awl selling
cotton, would he so grit at • sailiticel ohje..t RS to justify
on exception to the general rule of interfeeence." The
Governor-General in Council, while approving Mr.
I:rant's general plop, mimeses a preference in favour of
the establiahment of such factoriesbv private enterprise,
" aided by any grants of land, special imeasures of police,
or other facilities which Government can furnish." It
will thus be Seen that the subject of cotton is mooted in
every iihape and form, and that it really is at this
moment in India ' the question of the day,'
NEW ZEALAND.—Affairs in New Zealand continue
in a most unsettled and unsatisfactory state. The
spirit of discontent mud insubordination amongst the
natives does not abate; strong measures are again
talked of ; awl the governor has issued • proclamation
demanding, universal submission to the sovereignty of
the Queen and the authority of the law, the restora-
tion of all plunder, and, which is • somewhat doubtful
pellay, compensation to her Majesty's peaceful subjects,
native or European, for the losses they may have sus.
tabled during the late disturbances.
VICTORIA.—In the colony of Victoria the public
mind was absorb. I with the approaching dissolution
the assembly, and the consequent general election.
Nothing hod been heard of the exploring expedition
into the interior of the continent, and serious fears were
entertained for the eafety of the gentlemen composing
it. Groot floo.ls had viaited New South Wale,' in My,
but at the end of the month the waters had pretty
generally subsided. Whilst they lastel they were the
occasion of very extensive disasters.

On elighting from tine train they drove to the Vice-

and on Wednesday hia lordahip delivcr,l the tuatigural
address in tine round rcwin at tine Mansion•lnou.e.
There was a large and intlnential company present.
The delivery occupied upwarde of two hours. In com-
mencing the proceeding., Ilia loriship said :—ln open-
ing the fifth congress of the National Association, I
need Inanity observe that it would ill deserve its mime
if it dud unit embrace tine important part of tine einiMre
in which we have now tine happiness to assemble. We
are in the great capital of Ireland, icnowned for having
given to tine world men illustrious inn all the depart-
ments of mienee Clint art, as well ea of irons. But it
is to me individually a painful recollection that the
most eminent of these, add whose frietnilehip was my
comfort and my honour. I cannot ifleet in this tiny brat
visit to the country adorned by their trenacendeint
geuins—Grattan, Plunkett, Wellington, Welleeley—the
great patriot, the consummate orator, the filet of wen-
niers, foremost, too, among statement, and the illus-
trious head of hie house, the greatest of all who ever
ruled over Ireland—all of these I have been deemed to
outlive, and to tine dispeneations of Providence it is fit
we !Mould be resigned. But tine toes of such men to
their country is grievous, and inure especially of one
whom I have named. Tine others had meompliebeti the
high work to which they were severally called and
left their bright example to guide us, and their auccem
to cheer; hut of tine great Duke, whether in peace or
in war, whether we leek abroad or at hoine, while we
cherish the immortal memory, we feel tine lose not to
be repaired. In reviewing the proceedings of the past
Parliamentary session, his lordehip mini—Our attention
is firm of all arrested by tbe great event which hi hap-
pened since our last meeting, and to which our un-
wearied exertions have semi essentially contributed—
the repeal of tine paper duty, the heavy tax ninon ,
knowlc Igo inn every one of its various branches. That I
gross and glaring anomaly in our legielative as well as
administrative proceeding' has now ceased. We can no
longer be charged with, at one and tine same time, 1.)--
tug fee sthoole to teach and raising the price of tine
books tauzint —of encouraging the people to mad, of
patronizing authors and multiplying readers, while we
make it unprnfitable for the former tnn write and hart
for the latter to read. The effect of this most salutary
change has been iminediate, and it is has been great.
Over tiled an ample field its operations extends wee' be

lation of 80,000. and a helf-penny weekly journal. with
excellent cuts, has been establisheil, and already issued
above 11.000. My complaints ma le at tine Liverpool
meeting can therefore no longer be urged, and in pro-
digious benefit has beim conferred upon all the depart-
ments of knowledge by tine steady perseverance
of Mr. Gladstone in csrrying this great measure
agaiu.t the most formidable resistance iwth nun
Parliament awl beyond its walls.—Lotil Brougham
is a warm advocate of the co-operative system.
On this subject lie remarked the great depart-
ment of Social Economy annuli attentien was at
the last cungreav given to the iinportaut introduction ,
into the manufecturing districts of the co-operative I
system—tine establishment of unions by the working. I
clemee, fur the purpose of sharing inn the profits on the
goods consumed or used by them, as well as of pre- 1
venting adulteration of those goods, and for the other
purpose of cerrying on branches of manufacture. In
both these kinds of union the progress Inca been very
great since last year, and in the latter those doubts which
mewl to exist of the scheme' practicability have
been almost altogether removed. Above 50 companies
for manufacture have been established since last
congress, hneides many of inere Mores. In these last a
capital of £500,000 is invested ; but in the former the
manufacturing concerns represent a capital of nearly
£200,000, exclusive of the Manchester Cotton
Company (limited). whose capital is £1,000,000. The
returns of Mr. Tidd Pratt show tine creation of above
250 co-operative wcieties within the last 12 menthe, all I

EN.:I.IBH AND NISH CRINK.—At the recent makes
in Ireland the judge everywhere congnituletent the
gran-I juries on the almost total absence of *rink. Iu
tine ttnirty•two counties of Ireland there was only one
capital couvietion—that of Phibbs, in Sligo, for murder.
Let us now turn ten Engleed, and see how different the
state of morality there. Not an assize has been held in
any county in which the most brutal and shocking
murders and other heiouus °Reneea hare not form,-
thus eubjecte of investigation. Scarcely an Englieli
newspaper could be lifted within the past month with-
out the readen peeing a capital conviction revertant, in
fact, on some days three or four people were orderee.
for execution. As one tensor, of how different the
celendere of English counties and Irish counties are,
we may state that, at the South laineashire Atenizes
(half a county), which commenced on Monday, there
were no fewer than 118 persons for trial, some of them
charged with the most heinous criihes, 14 being capital
offence-n. Tine whole crime of Ireland at the kat
assizes, if united in one calendar, would not present
such a frightful picture. Ti,. 118 prisoners are indicted
as follewe —Murder, 4; intent to murder, 7; man-
slaughter, 10; stabbing, cutting, and wounding, 12 ;
rape, 2; rubbery from the person, 17 ; bigamy, 2 ;
arson, 3; burglary. 30; housebreaking, 4 ; forgery, 13;
Melding post letters, I; concealing childbirth, 1; per-
