FESIANInM IN IRELAND. The spread of ze-
nianism in different parts of the north of Ireland is shown
by the arrest of suspected persons, and the discovery that
arms are being bought up in large numbers and circulated
is • clandestine manner. In tionsgben, Armagh, and
othercounties, some excitement has bean manifested. The
police, however, are on the alert. In Sligo, the persons
who were recently arrested with arms about them have
been let out on their own reeognizances. We find is
several of the provincial journals accounts of a diligent
search made simultaneously for Stephens, but the "Head

the conviction is becoming more firmly fixed in the public

THE CATTLZ PLAGUE.

The Times is glad to observe that the proposal of com-
pensation out of the general revenue seems to be repudiated
on all hands. Lord Russell distinctly negatives any
such idea in his letter to Lord John Manners ;
Sir James Ferguson emphatically denounces it,
and Sir James Kay-Shottleworth, no inexperienced
practitioner in the art of extracting public money,
does not venture for • moment to propose it. The
idea has been out down to a proposal for a general com-
pulsory mutual assurance under the management and with
the guarantee of the government, and that in its torn
has been reduced to • voluntary insurance under the
management and with the guarantee of the govern-
ment secured by a loan on the lands of those who are
adventurous enough to enter it. This proposition is in
its turn repudiated, and what we arrive at is the ex-
tension of the principle of loans for drainage to loans to
make good the losses of the cattle plague. The inference
we draw from theme things is that for want of an ascertained
risk the principle of insurance is inapplicable to the case,
and that the landed interest will do wisely to tarn it■
efforts towards prevention, instead of wasting them on
schemes for compensation.

The Post observes that butchers in some counties are now
obliged by the orders of justices to slaughter fat beasts in
barns and in other outbuildings belonging to the promises
where they are bought. Magistrates in certain districts where
they have the power of granting leave for the moving of
animals are rather reluctant, and very properly so, to
give permits. Pigs and sheep, if alive, are in
many localities forbidden to be driven or carried from
the places where they now are. Agriculturists are still
anxious for the adoption of general rides in this matter
that shall be equally applicable to every county in Great
Britain. and the time is not far distant when all live
animals which may reach this country from Continental
Europe, and meant for the butcher, must be slaughtered
at the ports where they arrive. Parliament will, no
doubt, be urged to legislate on this subject during the
next session.

THE CATTLE PLAGUE LEGISLATION.

The Times g:vvi some idea of the hopeless confusion
into which the legislation of the cattle plague has Mien.
Tracing the conflicting orders which Wiwi from the Privy
Council up to the time at which parliament took up the
question, the Times fellows the government bill through
both houses, and, having pointed out the relation of the
act to the orders, sketches the experience of Mr. Hunt's
measure, which has just beta returned to the Commons
in a state of confusion impossible to describe. The prohi-
bition of the movement of cattle, and its exceptions,

are mercilessly stricken out, aed the traffic on
common roads, so far u we can understand, is
left to be regulated by orders in council ; so that it
is contemplated that there shall be henceforth three
laws in force—the two sots of parlament and the ceders in
oonnefl. Having thus mutilated the act sent up to them,
the Lords proceeded to fresh legislation of their own,
which, it seems exceedingly probable, will meet with as
little favour from the Commons as the legislation of the
Common. did from the Lords. The Times bores, how-
ever, that if the Commons see fit to disagree to the Lords'
&madman, they will, at any rate, spare the clause which
prchibite movement on canals or rivers so long as there is
prohibition of movement en railways, arid the clause which
forbids the holding of fairs and markets for the next three
mouths. The result of all our legislation seem only too
likely to be that we shall endure many evils in order to
get rid of the cattle plague, and fail to get rid of it after
all.

VICTOR HUGO'S NEW WORK.

Victor Hugo's new work, " Lell Travailleurs de

thus :—" I dedicate this book to the rock of hospitality
aad liberty—to that little nook of old Norman land in
which dwells a small noble seafaring people—to the 61e of
Gateway, rough and gentle, my actual asylum, my pro-
bable tomb."

The following is the preface :
"Religion, society, nature; these are the three struggles
of moo. They are at the same time his three wants. He
must believe, hews the temple ; he must create—hence
the city ; he must live—henoe the plough sod ship. But
these three problems oontaiu three wars. The mysterious
difficulty of life arises from ell three. Man has to meet
obstacles under the form—superstition, under the form—
prejudice, under the form—element. A triple asaaki
(fatality) presses on us—the ananke of dogmas—the
awoke of laws, the amide of things. In Notre Dame de
Paris the author exhibited the first ; is Les Miserable*
he exposed the second, in the present book he initiates the
third. To theme three fatalities which envelope moo Mien
is added an interior fatality, a supreme anaake—the hams.

Prince of Austria the Grand Cross of the Legion of
Honour, aeoomp•nied by an autograph letter from

in addressing the Emperor Francis Joseph, said
that both nations would look with satisfaction upon
a testimony of friendship calculated so greatly to
cement the union between the two countries, and
would recognise on both sides • wish to draw
closer the bonds of amity already existing between
them. This friendship, he added, would be strength-
ened by the happy influence of treaties advantageous
to both nations. The Emperor replied, thanking
the ambassador for this testimony of friendship
on the part of France, and statLig that he regarded
with lively satisfaction everything, likely to in-
crease the friendly relations between the two na-
tions. He fully concurred in the wishes which
had been expressed on this subject by the French
amb•saador. _ _

Mr. Robert Scott, coal merchant and lighterman, of Back-
side, was charged before Mr. Bawls= under the Water-
men's Act, with, being the owner of three barges for the
carrying of goods and merchandise, unlawfully cawing the
same to be worked and managed without • licensed
lighierman being in charge of each of such ba
Mr. E. R. Todhunter, one of the inspectors doff the Water-
men's Company, appeared on behalf of the company. •
Richard Fairbairn, a licensed waterman and lighterman,
and secretary to the Watermen's Protection Society, said
that on the 22nd ult. he saw six barges belonging to Mr.
Scott being towed up the river Thames in charge of only
three licensed men, whe'eaa there ought to have been •
licensed waterman to each barge. A waterman named
Joyce tendered his services, but they were rejected.
Mr. Burcham eked if the barges were connected with
each other?
Witness replied that they were. They were empty barges,
and being towed by • steam tug.
The defendant here said that at this season of the year
they were nut to great stress to get their empty barges to
meet the steamboats on their arrival in the pool with coals,
and they were obliged to employ steam tugs at times to
tow them. There were three licensed men and an appren-
tice in charge ; and, aa they were all connected, he thought
that sufficient.
Mr. Burcham asked whether it was necessary to have a
licensed man in each barge when being towed by • steam-
tug
Mr. Todhunter, the inspector of the Watermen's Com-
pany, here produced the Watermen's Act, a clause in which
makes it imperative on the part of the owner that there
must be a licensed waterman is charge of each barge while
being navigated on the Thames, whether being towed by a
steam-tug or not.
Mr. Burcham, after perusing the act of parliament, ob-
served that the offence was proved, therefore he most con-
vict the defendant. He, however, inflicted the mitigated
penalty of 5a., and the costa.

The ToisiirepA lament" that Lord Mayor Phillips, whose
services it lands in the most eulogistic terms, should have
to receive from the Belgian King the recognition of
Ms merits, and that one who, it says, has gained such
golden opinions should not have been rewarded in some
wry of our own. Mr. Brand's unwillingness to take part
in the reform meeting the Telegraph attributes solely to
a delicacy which cc-dicio members of the liberal party
must feel in taking up a position which complicates their
individual with their party interests, and thinss the cause
of reform itself will be best served by being kept entirely
free from the guidance or advocacy of any politician' who
are likely to have an official bias.
In another article the Tdegraph seeks, to use its own
word., "to improve the lesson taught by the sudden and
and accidental death of the well-known jockey Harry
Grimshaw." Bruce and Captain Speke having been
alluded to, the Tdegraph continues, " When, after having
escaped the perils of the race-course, after having identified
his name with the triumphs of one of the greatest race-
horses that ever graduated with all the honours of New-
market, Epsom, and Doncaster, Harry Grimshaw, in the
prime of his young and prosperous life, is launched into
eternity by a fall from his gig, who is there amongst us but
recognises the Impressive nature of the catastrophe ?"

GUILDHALL

Mrs. Ann Savage, of Princes-mews, Princes-street, Stam-
ford-street, was summoned before Alderman Cotton by
Inspector Jocks for, on the 24th of September last, unlaw-
fully letting for hire an omnibus numbered 622 i after no-
tice had been given to her in writing by the commissioner
of police that the said carriage was not in a fit and proper
condition for public use.
Mr. Minns appeared for the defendant.
Charles Albert Jacks said he was inspector of public
carriages. The defendant's omnibus plied between the
Metropolitan Railway and the Elephant and Castle. On
the 24th of July it was out of repair. The tire of the
off wheel was loose, the steps approaching to the roof were
loose and unsafe. The front off side seat was very loose
and unsafe, and the windows were out of repair. They
would let in the rain, and the cushions were ragged, wet,
and very dirty. Notice of the condition of the omnibus
was eeived upon the defendant on the 25th of July, but
nothing had been done to the omnibus since.
Alderman Cotton said from that evidence it su clear
that the omnibus was in an unfit condition to use, and he
should the defendant 40s. and costs.
Another summons was then heard against the same de-
fendant, taken out by Inspector Jecks, with regard to the
omnibus No. 6907.
After hearing the evidence,
Alderman Cotton said it appeared to him a system was
carried on which might be very economical to the de-
fendant, but it was very dangerous to the public. This was
a very had case, and he should fine her 51. and coats.
The fines were paid.
Joseph Covington, of 42, Mitre-street, Lambeth, was
summoned by Inspector Jecks, for a similar offence.
The charge was proved, but the defendant said there
were hundred worse than his in London.
Alderman Cotton said if that were so more summonses
ought to be taken out against the owners. He fined the
defendant 40a. and costs, which were paid.

FLORENCE, Om. 5, EvzlmtG.

The official Gazette of this evening publiahes
despatches sent by Baron Ricasoli to the munici-

nouncing to them the conclusion of peace with
Austria.

The municipalities in their replies state that
this announcement has been received with great
exultation and gratitude and has been greeted by
the people with cries of " United Italy for ever !''
"The King for ever!" " The King's government
for ever!"

The Gazette also publishes addresses from several
other towns to the government expressing their
great satisfaction at the conclusion of peace.

it is stated that Count Lavradio will return to

re-established.

A fresh attempt is being made to induce the
present Portuguese government to recognise the
debt contracted by Dom Miguel.
Tents are being put up in the-experimental
camp of Tances, and arrangements are being made
on a very complete scale, in order that, as soon as
the rains cease, the troops may be marched thither.
A universal opinion exists that the British
government suggested this plan of treating the
army more efficiently.
The expression of the Emperor Napoleon in his
recent manifesto, that the existence of small
countries is inconvenient as Europe is at present
constituted, has caused much comment among
Portuguese politicians.

TEC REDISTRIBUTION BILL.

The Tinier continues to maintain that the Redistribution
Bill is practicable and just, and deserves to be passed. It
hopes, however, that some towns at present entirely un-
represented will be added to the groups proposed to be
formed. The conservative leaders, however, are precluded
by their own example from objecting alike to the minis-
terial disfranchising and enfranchising plans. The
proportion of seats allotted to counties is by the
present bill greater than that recommended by the
conservative government, and four of the seven boroughs
proposed by the latter for enfranchisement are proposed
for enfranchisement now. Some modifications of the
complete measure may be anticipated, and, indeed, on the
last night of the debate on the Franchise Bill Mr. Glad-
stone was understood to declare his readiness to give up
the ill-considered clause introducing borough leaseholders
into county constituencies. It will be well also to under-
'toad what resolution the government have taken, or pro-
pose to take, with reference to the borough and county
qualifications—whether they intend to make the present
figures essential parts of the bill. Before Monday comes
it is to be hoped the government will have determined
more exactly the course they mean to adopt.
The Telegraph distrusts the sudden conversion of the
Taws and represents its counsel as amounting in sub-
stance to the advice that the minority should not now
oppose reform point blank, but employ all their forces in
cutting the bill down to a nonentity. The forthcoming
device, it is still thought, will be an attempt to substitute
81. for 71. in the boroughs, and • higher figure than 141. in
the counties ; or else to demand the withdrawal of the
borough-county vote clause, with other counter proposals
of the same character. But they will find that the govern-
ment will not mutilate the Franchise Bill ins single serious
clause, even to pass it. They will not, for instance, go
higher by one halfpenny sterling than the electoral Limit
of 71. in the boroughs, or change the gross rental test to
• rating test, or alter the "rate-paying test abolition
clause," or, withdraw the borough vote for the coun-
ties. These things constitute the essential elements of a
scheme worth introducing, debating, and supporting.
The Star sincerely hopes that the Scottish members
will find means to induce the government to confer
upon
Scotland the privilege of the forty-shilling county
vote, which has existed so long and been attended with so
many beneficial results in England. The objection to it is
simply a lawyer's qr,bble.
