THE PRESS.

MR. DUNLOP, M.P., in an address to his consti-
tuents at Greenock last week, expressed some appre
hension of the permanence of peace. Ha thought
another campaign would have secured it :

He did not think that the end had been attained. From
a glance at Italy, Germany, and Spain, there they saw
that freedom of conscience was denied, freedom of
opinion was suppressed, and there can be little doubt that
if retribution is to be made, that war must be the instru-
ment of such retribution.

With respect t) the Neapolitian question,he donbted
the policy of sanctioning the principles of interven-
tion in the internal affairs of other nations, and had
great misgivings as to the part taken by England
and France towards Naples.
Nu. COBBETT, M.P., in an address to his consti-
tuents at Oldham on Wednesday, briefly reviewed
the measures of last session, and in alluding to the
reformation of our criminals forcibly pointed out the
inconsistency of the severe treatment of the poor in
the workhouse, and the care and comfort adminis-
tered to the criminal in the reformatory. He was
opposed to a Government system of education.
SIR H. F. DAVIE, M.P., met his constituents at
Jedburgh, on Monday, and in the course of his
remarks alluded to the Maynooth question :

He had supported the abolition of the grant, though
with great hesitation, as he thought many of the Tory
party joinel in the cry with personal political motives,
and he thought if Lord Derby were in power to-morrow,
they should hear no more about Maynooth. He was
disposed to give a qualified support to Lord Palmerston's
Government, though he should only do so on the most in-
dependent grounds, as he was no slavish supporter of the
Government.

CRAUFIIRD, M.P., addressed! his constituents
at Ayr last week. Mr. Craufurd approved of the
peace, reviewed the few measures passed last session,
and in a violent tirade against the Conservative party
in connection with the Maynooth question, said :
" Gentlemen, the Maynooth grant is one of the but-
tresses of the establishment system which is falling
year by year in this country ; it is the chief buttress
of that incubus, the Irish Church."

COMMERCE AND CLASSICS.

IN comparing the advantages to be derived
from an education that aims at mental dis-
cipline with those of a system professedly
based on the principle of accumulating facts,
it is perfectly fair that the future profession
or business of the pupil should be allowed due
weight in our calculations. To give to a boy
intended for a counting-house or a factory
exactly the same style of education as one
whose future studies are to be devoted to
theology or law is manifestly a mistake. Such
a system would aim at impossibilities. It is
beyond the powers of man to unite in his own
person the capacities of a Bentley and a Watt;
and to demand from boys intended fur
the business pursuits of life an exact
critical acquaintance with the two dead lan-
guages, at the expense of losing that kind of

CORN EXCHANGE—The supplies of home-grown wheat
on sale in our market this week have been only moderate, and
mach out of condition. The demand for all kinds has ruled
heavy—selected samples at about stationary prices—other
qualities at a decline of from Is to 2s per quarter. Foreign
wheat—theimports of which have been tolerably good—has
changed hands slowly, on former terms. Floating cargoes have
realised very full prices. There has baen much less activity in
the barley trade, and in some instances tho quotations have
ruled in favour of buyers. In the value of malt we have no
change to notice—the demand is tolerably healthy. The
arrival of oats has been seasonably good, and the oat trade has
ruled In avy, at barely late rates. Ro,h beans and peas, in-
cluding flour, have sold at full currencies.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

A letter from Vienna of the 18th, in the &Me,
sums up the three arguments adduced by the Aus-
trian Cabinet for still occupying the Danubian
principalities. It says :—" I have it on good autho-
rity that the reply of our Cabinet to the note of Count
Walewski, on the prolongation of the military occu-
pation of the two Danubian principalities, has been
decidedly sent off to Paris, after its contents had
been communicated to Baron Bourqueney by our
Minister of Foreign Affairs. As the note of the
French Cabinet is specially couched in an interroga-
tory diplomatic style, requesting the Austrian Govern-
ment to explain itself as to the duration of the con-
tinued stay of our corps-d'armee in Moldavia and
Walla.;hia, Count de Buol is said to have clearly
replied to the three points which form the object of
the French despatch—namely, that our occupation
being legitimatised and rendered necessary in conse-
quence of a special treaty with the Sublime Porte,
the Emperor cannot give orders to his troops to
evacuate until Turkey should demand that course ;
and that, as England is equally desirous with Turkey
that the Austrian troops should remain in occupation,
Count Buol recommends Count Walewski to address
himself to those powers in order to put an end to it.
The Austrian Cabinet states that it has no motive for
hesitating to declare that it wilt order the evacuation
of the provinces the moment the Western powers
shall direct the withdrawal from Greece of their sea
and land forces."

THE EARL OF CARLISLE and suite left Kingstown
on Wednesday night at nine o'clock by special
steamer for Liverpool, en route to Castle lio,vard,
Yorkshire. His Excellency's sojourn in England
will extend to some weeks.

MR. MARX PErtats, son of Judge Perrin, has been
appointed secretary to the Lord Chancellor, in the
room of Mr. Maziere Brady, who is appointed clerk
of affidavits, in succession to Mr. Hoban, who retires
on two-thirds of his salary. The emoluments of
Mr. Brady's new office amount to 600 i.
the situation is one for life.

LONDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1856.!

NOTHING jS easier than for a man to make
himself contemptible, however high his posi-
tion, or favorable his external circumstances.
He has but to show himself fearful of hostility
and careless of friendship—to dread the re-
sponsibility of action when action is neces-
sary—to waste his strength and resources on
a dozen impracticable schemes all opposite to
each other—to manifest wavering and divided
sentiments when he should be firm and clear—
to prove himself incapable of exerting
force and resolution on any occasion,—and he
will certainly make himself an object of de-
rision. Such qualities have ruined dynasties,
and parties as well as individuals. They
invite aggression, as they provoke scorn.
Why is it that the Conservative party at this
time fails to command the respect which is
due to a great political connection ? Only one
answer can be returned. Because, as regards
practical politics, and its chance of assuming
the government of the country, it is believed
to be out of the field. It has never recovered
from the division caused in its ranks by the
desertion of Sir ROBERT PEEL. The one party
was broken up into two, and the Conservative
community have not yet had the firmness to
insist that the division should be healed, and
that its interests should not be sacrificed
through want of that union it has a right to
demand from its representatives.
Our political opponents exult, as well they
may, in this division, and miss no opportunity
of fomenting it. The Coalition was a triumph
for them, as, though it brought them no real
increase of strength, it tended to render the
Conservative connection less aide than pre-
viously to aspire to the Government, and it
pledged every member of the Coalition to the
support of a " large measure of reform." Nu-
merically inferior to the Conservative party in
strength— divided among themselves (if their
public professi.-,ns may be trusted) by differ-
ences of opinion infinitely greater that pre-
vail among secticiis of Conservatism—with-
out a policy and without leaders—the Liberals
Thinly hold the Government, and continue to
strengthen their connection throughout the
country by filling all administrative offices
with their adherents, and this simply because
they have the habit, the instinct, the sense,
call it what we may, of holding together when
party questions arise to test their strength.
For want of this union, Lord DERBY'S Admi
nistration was overthrown ; for want of it, his
attempt to form an Administration last year
failed ; for want of it the Conservative party is
ridiculed, and the lowest creatures in its ranks
raise their voices to lament what they affect to
consider its increasing disorganisation.
It is quite true that at the present time the
division line between parties has been weak-
ened, and that the great interests of the empire,
which it is the first object of the Conservative
party to defend, are not seriously threatened.
But, not to insist on the point that it is im-

IRISH PATRONAGE.

THERE is one subject connected with official
administration to which we are most anxious
to call attention. We feel it our duty
more particularly to direct the notice of
the Conservatives towards it, because we are
profoundly convinced that the politicians and
organs of " Liberalism " will remain, for
reasons easily understood, perfectly silent
upon it. The consideration of this question
cannot be avoided any longer, and it is full
time that the people of England should press
for its investigation.
We allude to the decided favoritism given
at Dublin Castle to all candidates for office
who happen to be Roman Catholics. For
some time past a regular system of jobbery
has been put in practice at the Castle,
and Protestant aspirants stand a Door chance
of obtaining the notice of the authorities. The
system is going so far that it would be most
culpable to allow its continuance without in-
dignant expostulation. We have received
several letters upon this subject, and we are
in possession of facts which induce us to be-
lieve that the Conservatives of England and
the Protestants of Ireland will act most fool-
ishly if they remain silent while an unjust and
onesided system of patronage is adopted at
Dublin Castle.

To show how far this system of jobbery
has gone, we need only draw attention
to the significant fact (as alluded to by one of
our correspondents last week), that twice in
succession Lord CARLISLE has appointed
Roman Catholics to the Dublin police magis-
tracy, although there was a previous majority
of Romanists amongst th 0:- T,

POSTSCRIPT,

THE NEAPOLITAN QUESTION.

The Paris correspondent of the Times (second
edition) says :—" A despatch was expected to-day
from Baron Brenier announcing his departure from
Naples if he had not received the proposition from
the Neapolitan Government to which I alluded yes-
terday. It seems that, as I anticipated, his last
instructions were to demand his passports and
take his departure unless the King intimated his
intention to comply with the demands of the
allies. The despatch may be received in the course
of the evening, but up to four o'clock I believe it had
not arrived. It is possible that he may have left,
but it is hardly probable he would do so without in-
f )rming the Government. People are naturally
curious to know of what nature are the demands of
the allied Governments. They cannot refer to the
enactment of good laws, for according to Italians
themselves no State in Italy is in possession of
better laws than Naples : the complaint is that they
are not executed. There is one, but most compre-
hensive demand, and it is no doubt that which the
allies put forward—namely, the putting in force the
Constitution, which alone would be a sufficient
guarantee for the good administration of the king-
dom, and the Constitution has never been abrogated.
Something is said of a proposition on the part of
Russia to act as mediator between Naples and France
and England."
The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post
(second edition) says :—" It appears information
has reached Paris and London that King Ferdinand
can show how bale the allies have reason to com-
plain of his severity towards political offenders by
official documents; and that it England and France
will put off the withdrawal of their envoys he will
grant an amnesty; but, on the contrary, if they
follow out the declarations made in the official
Moniteur, the King will do nothing whatever. In
addition to these official declarations, private letters
from the agents of the King have been sent to
London and Paris in the same tone. When I inform
you that no telegraphic notice has reached here from
Naples telling us of the retirement of the French
and English missions, and that nothing of the sort
is expected at certain quarters in Paris, I think I
have said quite enough !"

MR. YONGE'S POEMS.—Price 6.. Od. cloth.

THE SHADOW of the YEW, and OTHER
POEMS. By NORMAN B. YONGE.
" There is a plaintive character, combined with a highly mas•
culine and healthy spirit, about the verses, which touches the
heart with more power than mere sonnets or pastorals, and
amid much that is beautiful, in sweetness of imagery, it purity
of diction, and in smoothness of versification, the author has
strained into utterance ' thoughts that do often lie too deep for
tears,' and would almost appear to be overcome by the tender-
ness of his own creation. We cannot lie under a sweeter canopy
than the ' shadow of the Yew.'"—Court Circular.

" Some really good passages we have marked for quotation ;
equal to the works of writers who in the present day are puffed
and lauded as wonderful poets."— Lit erary
"Contains passages of considerable merit. '— Press.
" There is much beauty of thought and some power in these
poems. The lines are by no means unmusical, but the chief
poetry lies in the happy and romantic conceptions to which they
give utterance."—Bristol Times and Felix Porky.
" Prove that the author is worthy of a place in the category of
rising poets."—Court Circular.

EASTERN FORTS OF THE BLACK SEA.

Lord J. MANNER 3, on Thursday, in referring to
the conferences (page 16) respecting the Blaok Sea

416

forts, said he should like to krow if the Russian
forts of the Black Sea were allowed, under the pro-
visions of the treaty, to he rebuilt.
Lord PALMERSTON : There was a discussion upon
that point, but it led to no definite result. There is
nothing in the treaty which especially applies to
those forts.
Lord J. MANNERS said the discussion was reported
to have taken place upon the Ist of March. He
should like to know if at any subsequent meeting of
the conference any reference had been made to the
subject.
Lord PALMERSTON : Every discussion of a formal
character which took place at jheconferences is re
corded.

KARS.

The Earl of MALMESBURY, on Tuesday, withdrew
the notice he bad given for Friday next. respecting
Kars. He gave up his intention to bring forward
that subject with much regret, but acknowledged
that it was inexpedient to forestall the discussion
arranged for the following Monday upon the general
topic of the Peace. He usked if the exact form of
the address would be laid on the table before Monday?
Earl GRANVILLE, in reply to Lord Malmesbury,
promised to notify, before Monday, the terms of
the address to the Crown which it was proposed
to move respecting the treaty of peace.

AUSTRIAN OCCUPATION IN ITALY.

Lord CLARENDON, on Monday, said :

My noble and learned friend (Lord Lyndhurst) has
given notice of a resolution with respect to the occupation
of a portion of Italy by the Austrian troops, and I take the
liberty of asking him to postpone his motion for the pre-
sent. I seed hardly say that I do so on public grounds
alone, lay. if he consents, I think he will be more likely
to promote those interests which he as well as myself has
at heart.

Lord LYNDHURST : After the appeal which my noble friend
has made to ine, I will not proceed with the motion upon
which I have given notice at present. But I beg leave to add
that I shall observe with considerable anxiety the course
which is intended to be pursued to put an end to the in
tolerable grievances and misgovernment under which the
people of Italy have been so long suffering.

artlaut.

ARCHBISHOP Cur.t.EN issued a pastoral last Sunday
upon the Peace and upon Mr. Spooner's motion. Dr.
Cullen, atter an eloquent appeal for a recognition of
the zeal, devotedness, courage, and sacrifices of the
Roman Catholic soldiers, chanlains, and sisters of
mercy, proceeded to discuss the Maynooth question :

Peace is not yet solemnly ratified, and yet the bigotry
and intolerance of a violent party, which scarcely showed
themselves in the time of war, have already commenced
fierce attacks upon the Catholic Church, and have doomed
to destruction, as far as in them lies, the only public Ca-
tholic institution which receives aid in this country from
Government. The hundreds of millions paid by the Catholic
population of Ireland to the Protestant establishment—the
souree of so many evils in this country—are forgotten; but
it is declared to be an intolerable grievance that a small
subsidy should be granted for Catholic education. Has it
not also been announced that attempts will soon be made
to render the public system of education more hostile to
our religion, and to convert national schools into nurseries
of proselytism ? And is it not asserted that plans will be
devised to turn away the private endowments of Catholic
schools from their original purposes, and to introduce into
them a mixed system, dangerous to the faith and morals of
children? We repeat, dearly beloved brethren, that such
trials may be expected. We are to be prepared to meet
them with a spirit of Christian fortitude, ready to make
every sacrifice rather than allow the education of the little
onGs of Jesus Christ to be tampered with, or expose their
faith to danger.

The remainder of the pastoral is almost wholly de-
voted to a condemnation of tho Protestant pro-
selytisers.

THE PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION before the magis-
trates into the case of Mrs. Kelly's murder has re-
sulted in the commitment for trial of Mr. Strevens,
the nephew of Mrs. Kelly, and one James Bannon.
THE RAILWAY FORGERY CASE of Mr. Knighting
was assuming a serious aspect, from the discovery of
a clue to some gigantic frauds supposed to have been
effected by that gentleman on eminent English com-
mercial firms.

INDIA AND THE CAPE.

Intelligence from Bombay to the 3rd April, and
Calcutta 23rd March, informs us that the Santhal
rebellion is completely quieted, and the rebels
engaged in work on the railways.

Oude continued tranquil. The King had left
Lucknow for Cawnpore without any demonstration
having been made in his favour.

From Burmah we learn that a terrible fire had
completely destroyed Prome on the 25th February.
At the Cape of Good Hope serious apprehensions
were being felt about a possible recurrence of a
Kaffir war. A steady emigration of all Kaffirs, with
their cattle, from the frontier colonies to the interior
was going on, and several Kaffir chiefs were known
to be actually roaming about the country. A corre-
spondent of the Frontier Times, writing from Graaff-
Reinet, says :

I do not yet know what the Kaffira contemplate—some
say a general "trek," northwards or eastwards. I myself
think that war is in their heads. They think that the
English are "fast," as a Fingo expressed it, with a war
beyond the sea, and are not able to assist us now.

TORTURE AND TAXES.

THE success of the torture system in India has induced the Govern
ment to consider the propriety of employing similar means for the
correction of peccant taxpayers in this country. It has been decided
that any one remiss in the payment of taxes shall for the future be
liable to the following tortures :

He shall assist in transcribing the Premier's forthcoming work—
" The Comic Jester ; or, Puns and Profanity."
He shall be put to the " pcine forte et dure," by the imposition on
his chest of the works of Sir G. C. Lewis.

He shall be suspended between any two leading articles in the
same Times, and not released till' he can reconcile their statements.
He shall be sent in a Government steamer to thej next Naval
Review, and be made work at the capstan with bishops and judges.

FATHER GAVAZZI last week lectured at Oxford,
and his reception, as at Cambridge, was rather stormy
than otherwise. His first two lectures upon " The
Papal Army of Great Britain and its Protestant
Allies," and upon " Tractarian Encroachments;'
created the liveliest manifestations of disapprobation
among the undergraduates. Shouts and hooting,
with cries of "Apostate," "Go back to Rome," were
mingled with the sharp cracks and hiesss of squibs

replied with vigour to his assailants, but at length
retired. On two succeeding evenings, by the aid of
a etrc,ng posso of police and proctors, the reverend
father delivered two lectures upon "'The Inquisi-
tion," and on "Nunneries," in comparative quiet.
0.4 last lecture, indeed, was listened to with great
attention*
AN EDUCATIONAL CONTERZNCIL will be held at
York in July next, upon the requisition of the arch-
bishop. All the clergy and laity of the diocese
known to take an Interest in the subject of national
education will be invited to attend. In the mean-
time a systematic inquiry is to be made throughout
t'le diocese respecting the state of education, and the
information thus obtained is to be made the basis of
an appeal to the supporters of church schools, in
order to extend the means of popular education.
Lord J. Russell's resolutions and the influence of
Government payments to masters and pupil teachers
on the religious teaching of the schools under their
charge, and other kindred subjects, will be discussed.

THE LIVERPOOL SHIPOWNERS AND THE BOARD OF
TRIDE have not made up their late quarrel. A
crowded meeting of the Shipowners' Association was
h3ld in Liverpool on Wednesday, when the subject
was discussed, and the conduct of the Board of
Trade unanimously condemned. The ten reigned
members of the local marine board will, it is believed,
be re elected nem. con. The misunderstanding be
tween the Board of Trade and this local board com-
menced about three months ago, on the refusal of
tie Board of Trade to adopt the recommendation of
the local board for increasing the salary of their
secretary, Mr. J. T. Towson (well known to the com•
rnercial and nautical world as one of the discoverers
of the principle of great circle sailing). A large
amount of correspondence passed between the two
bodies, which resulted in the resignation of the
above members.

THE LAW OF PATENTS

Wi have before us a pamphlet by Lord STAN-
LEY on the Reform of the Law of Patents.
The question was taken up by Lord DERBY'S
Government in 1852; but the measure they
introduced was tentative rather than final, and
the time has now probably arrived for carrying
out the principle then adopted to its legiti-
mate, results. It would certainly seem that
inventors are suffering from a real grievance,
whatever diversity of opinion may exist as to
the proper remedy. The fees charged by the
Patent•office are very high, while the protec-
tion afforded to the patentee is extremely
precarious. It is to both these points that
Lord STANLEY addresses himself.
The coat of taking out a patent is 231.—that
at least is the amount received by the Patent-
office—but the real expense to the projector is
alleged to be nearly double the sum. It is,
however, with the first-mentioned sum alone
that we are now concerned. In addition to
this the patentee has 501. more to pay at the
end of three years, and 1001. more at the end
of seven, when he finally becomes a free man.
It is shown IT a calculation of Sir JOSEPH
PAXTON that the sums thus received very much
exceed the expenses attending the business
of the office, and to such an extent that the
excess of income over expenditure between
the years 1855 and 1850 may be cornputed at
not much less than two-thirds of the whole—
that is to say, 00,0001. out of 95,0001. This we
consider to be a tax not less impolitic than
unjust. It is penny wisdom and pound
foolishness. For the sake of a temporary and
minor profit we cheek that free progress of in-
vention on which our larger and more perma
nent wealth depends. No one, then, can doubt
the abstract expediency of removing this im-
post, and of giving the widest possible scope to
theffertility of scientific and mechanical genius.

Consols fm Account

AUSTRIA'S CATHOLIC INTOLERANCE is daily be
coming more apparent. Roman Catholic priests in
Vienna, and at Ingersdorff and Jedlehem, Botzen
and Meran, have refused in several instances to
permit the burial of Protestants in a Catholic church-
yard. In one case, at Meran, after a Protestant bad
been buried, the priests ordered the body to be
dug up and reburied in the neighbouring forest. In
the Tyrol the Bishops of Trent and Brizen have
petitioned the Government to annul the law per-
witting non.Catholie persons to buy laud,

THE TREATY OF PEACE.

THE lion. William Stuart, First Attaché to her Ma-
jesty's Embassy at Paris, arrived on Monday morning
at the Foreign-office, bearing the ratification by their
Majesties the Emperor of Austria, the Emperor of
the French, the King of Prussia, the Emperor of all
the Russias, the King of Sardinia, and the Sultan, of
the definitive treaty for the restoration of peace, and
for the maintenance of the integrity and indepen-
dence of the Ottoman empire, signed at Paris on the
30th of March last.

A Court of Privy Council was shortly afterwards
held at 13uckingham Palace, at which proclamations
announcing the conclusion of peace, and ordering the
4th instant to be set apart as a day of public thanks-
giving for its restoration, were agreed upon and issued.
On Monday evening the Earl of Clarendon and
Lord Palmerston, in their respective places in the
Lords and Commons, laid upon the table the fol-
lowing documents :-
1. The General Treaty, and Three Conventions
annexed thereto.

A 2. A Declaration respecting Maritime Law, signeJ
by the Plenipotentiaries.
3. The Protocols of the Conferences.
The official copy of the treaty agrees in the main
with that published in THE PRESS of the 26th ult. It
remains, therefore, for us to supply only the missing
articles of that otlierwise correct copy. The following
clauses were those omitted :

Art. 5. Their Majesties the Queen of the United King-
dom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Emperor of the
French, the Emperor of all the Russias, the King of Sar-
dinia, and the Sultan, grant a full and entire amnesty to
those of their subjects who may have been compromised
by any participation whatsoever in the events of the war in
favour of the cause of the enemy. It is expressly under-
stood that such amnesty shall extend to the subjects of
each of the belligerent parties who may have continued
during the war to be employed in the service of one of the
other belligerents.
Art. 6. Prisoners of war shall be immediately given up
on either side.

Art. 7. Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland, his Majesty the Emperor of
Austria, his Majesty the Emperor of the French, his Ma-
jesty the King of Prussia, his Majesty the Emperor of all
the Russian, and his Majesty the King of Sardinia, declare
the Sublime Porte admitted to participate in the advan-
tages of the public law and system (concert) of Europe.
Their Majesties engage, each on his part, to respect the
independence and the territorial integrity of the Ottoman
erepire, guarantee in common the strict observance of that
engagement, and will in consequence consider any act
tending to its violation as a question of general interest.
Art. 8. If there should arise between the Sublime
Porte and one or more of the other signing powers any
misnnderstanding which might endanger the maintenance
of their relations, the Sublime Porte and each of such
powers, before having recourse to the use of force, shall
aflord the other contracting parties the opportunity of pre-
venting such an extremity by means of their mediation.
