this is the Age of African exploration,; and 6n adven-
turoti3 traveller, Captain Peghoux, has just returned to
Franee,after a perilous expedition through the countries
on the Upper Nile. lie started with the intention of
tracing the Nile to its source ; and if he has not realised
the object of his journey, he has visited countries
hitherto unknown, and has brought back much useful
information, especially respecting the routes across the
deserts of Atmour and Bagoda, and the vast quantities
of ivory and gold that exist in the countries tiear the
equator. M. Peghoux has come back alone ; his com-
panions, M. Dumas,.a painter, and M. Bertrand, an
iuterpreter, both died, one on the borders of the White
River, the other in Korosko.

We regret to learn that the Orange,anniversary has
not been permitted to pass in Ireland without its usual
contothitAnt di' ridthlg and llldadslied. We lcatii by a
telegram from Lublin that an encounter took place on
Thursday evening, near Lurgan, between the Orange-
men add their opponents. Siiteen persons were
wounded, two of whom are not expected to survive. A
great number of the rioters have been captured by the
police. There are rumours, also, but unauthorised as
yet, of a riot at Crossgar.
The spring reports of the Factory Inspectors show
that the operatives have had good. reason to be content.
Wages for 60 hours a week are higher than they were
20 years ago for 69, though it happens, singularly
enough, that it is not so in somewhat analogous occupa-
tions in which the labour of women and children is
unrestricted, such as printing, bleaching, and dyeing-
works. New mills Are springing up and hands have
been Finite, se) tliat mulch machinery has stood still
for want of them, and Workpeople have been engaged
from other parts of the kingdom, among them children
of 13 from workhouses, though this is high-priced labour,
because the manufacturer has to lodge, clothe, and feed,
as well as to some extent remunerate the children.
But the most remarkable circumstance_ is the rising
importance of co-operative societies, stimulated partly
by the passing of the Limited Liability Act, and partly
by the extraordinary success of a company formed at
Rochdale twelve years ago, with a large paid-up capital,
now increased to £60,000, in £l2 10s. shares, and which
paid a dividend of 44 per cent. in October, and of •48
per cent. in the spring of this year. The great majority
of the shareholders are operatives who work for wages
in the factory. The system is now spreading, and
several joint-stock companies have been formed. It is
stated that in Bury alone upwards of £300,000 will be
required to put into working order the co-operative
mills there built and building.
The review of our local volunteer force at Aintree, on
Saturday, was a great, Complete, and gratifying success.
The procCedings are reported elsewhere, at a length
which the importance of the occasion seemed to demand
at our hands. The London Volunteers, more ambitiously
advanced, were engaged at the same time, with terrible
earnestness, in a mimic battle' at' Bromley. The

Observer, in its review of the proceedings, says :—" The
volunteer forces are evidently resolved to go ahead, and
the public will riot be surprised if illeSt heat seurie
morning that the different corps have assembled under
the command of the ' Brompton Garibaldi,' or some
other metropolitan chieftain, sat down before the
Woolwich Garrison and called upon the regulars to
surrender. It is but a few weeks since the members of
some of the turps have felt wonderfully elated at their
earliest lessons in drill and the precisiori with which
they formed battalion square at the double. Yesterday
they ventured out to mimic battle. To talk of England
being a nation of shopkeepers is surely a grievous
mistake ; it is a people that love war and military

display."
Although our naval reserve force has not yet been
brought up to the numerical strength which it is desired
should he reached, there is at the present moment a
visible and tangible proof that *6 figie Mich a reserve

in existence—which is more than we could boast but a

very short time ago—and that it has already attained
such dimensions as to constitute a reliable and important
element in the defence of the country. The ships com-
missioned for the coast-guard service, and usually
stationed at the different out-ports, are now assembled
at Portland, comprising a squadron of eleven sail. In
a.dditiori to their otditary crews oreoast guardmen, they
have on board the naval voltinteers, lad Have tnrellea
under Lord Clarence Paget's scheme. These men are

out for a short Channel cruise. If we add (says the
Observer), the increased strength, this reserve would
gite us to the fine Channel fleet we now possess; and
take into consideration Ndidt other means of augmenting
our fleet may be available at the outbreak of a war, it
will be seen that our first and natural line of defence,
the sea, is not likely to fail us in any future contingency
that may happen, any more than it did in the past.

By the arrival of the Asia yesterday afternoon, we
have advices from New York to the 4th instant. The
ratification of the American treaty with the Chinese
has just reached Washington ; and the papers exult
that, without taking any part in the approaching contest,
the United States will enter at once into the advantages
which the Allies have to wage a costly war to secure.
