This last fact alone is in direct opposition to the
advice of the Poor-law Board, which is strongly
against the regular inmates of the workhouses being
exposed to the risk of contagion inseparable from
close and indiscriminate contact with casuals. In
short, although the Whitechapel guardians have not
openly violated decency by making their casual
paupers sleep naked, they have, by delay and
neglect, by defective accommodation and ineffective
supervision, so run counter to the spirit of the
Houseleas Poor Act, that no one can be surprised
that the certificate granted temporarily has been
withdrawn. As the coat of relieving casual paupers
will thus fall upon the ratepayers until a better
system is inaugurated, would not the represen-
tatives of the parish do wisely to hasten the com-
pletion of their new casual wards, and to fulfil their
promise of two years ago ?

THE last two mails have brought intelligence of
irregular movements on the part of persons at pre-
sent or formerly in the United States army, who
have crossed the Rio Grande, and committed acts
of hostility on the Mexican territory. As the
United States government has frequently de-
clared its neutrality between the Mexican
republic and the French and other invaders,
and as it evidently attaches importance to the main-
tenance of that policy, it will be interesting to ob-
serve the manner in which these acts of its citizens
are regarded at Washington. We believe there can
be no doubt that they will be visited with its severe
displeasure. The person who figures in the recent
accounts as General Crawford was formerly in the
United States army, though not with the rank he
now assumes; his career, however, was not of a
character to give him claims upon the consideration
of the government of the Union, and the same may
be said of some of his companions. Crawford now
calls himself a Mexican general. It appears, more-
over, that a number, variously stated at from 150
to 500, of the troops at present in the service of the
United States crossed the Rio Grande and occupied
Bagdad. It is all but incredible that such a thing
should be possible in a regular army. General
Sheridan denies all knowledge of the affair, but it
is evident his government must hold him respon-
sible for it. Peremptory orders have been sent to
him from Washington requiring him to enforce the
laws against Crawford and to keep his own men
better in hand. The New York Times has these
pertinent remarks, which may be taken to repre-
sent the mind of the American government :
As for the appeals in favour of filibustering on • large
stale—such filibustering we suppose as " Crawford and his
men " have now inaugurated upon the Rio Grande on a
small seals—their wickedness cannot be too strongly
characterised. To attempt thug to thwart the pacific
policy of the government—to attempt thus to defeat the
means adopted by the government to secure ► just solution
of the Mexican question —to attempt thus to contravene
the national will, ant to drag the nation into a great
war that may otherwise never be found necessary,
is most unfit work for those who have stood by the govern-
ment in its d►ys of trial, and who have been ready to offer
up their all for the maintenance of constitutional antho-
t:ty. We have been damaged and imperilled in times past
by the spirit of filibustering. It had its full share in pro-
ducing the condition of things which resulted in our late
great civil war. It is far less dangerous to foreign nations
or to our neighbours than it is to ourselves, to oar internal
security and peace. Instead of being stimulated, it should
be frowned upon and repressed ; for if it spin kindle the
flames of war, their consuming rage may end the existence
of the Union.
