SENsATIONAL RUMOURS OF NEGLo Oi:7I.I:PAILS
IN AMERICA.—some of the south-western journals in the
neighbourhood of Vicksburg are doing their beet to create
t a sensation over anticipated negro outbreaks. The work is
I about as villainous as could well engage the energies even of
' balf•loyal editors. We have some specimens of these re-
moors this morning. If there were any actual danger of
agrarian outrages, it would be known to the dill event garri-
sons of national troop. at the South, and provision would
be made to maintain order. This is as well known to the
mischiefmaking editors, as it is to aro* people here.—Near

THE Ups AND DOWNS OF A LECTCRINc LIPP.—
An itinerant lecturer, whoa* real name is W. C. Hannah,
hut whose professional designation is St. Viers Augustus
If alenza, was charge,' before the Liverpool magistrates,
on Saturday, with plundering another lecturer, a coloured
man, named J. C. Thompson, alias Meths= Tommie. The
two lecturers " worked- the various towns of England in
company, and joined at the expellees of travelling, lodg-
ing. &c. While Thompson wee ebseet from Liverpool,
however, for a short time, Heanab appropriated a quaa-
, tity of his books and papers (including MISS. of lectures,
&c.) and took fresh lodgings. When Thompson rcitn
be acquainted the police, and Hannah was apprehends&
Hannah's defence was that the articles were his own pro-
perty. The case was rendered intensely ludicrous by the
extravagant politeness which was manifested by the
prisoner and the prosecutor. The prisoner wee placed
under a general remand.
MR. COBDEN AND THE STEDY OF THE CLAVOCIt.
—ln his last speech at Rochdale he dwelt at considerable
length upon the neglect of geographical teaching in our
schools, and told the tele of his search, when riskily;
Attica, for the Armin of the storied Maxus, and of kis
amusement when at last be discovered the insignificaat
brook hardly containing water enough to serve the purposes
of some dozen laundresses ; and yet, as he chidingly ob-
served, too many of our fine young English gentlemen
• who, fresh from College, undertake to legislate for the
wants of the empire and its relations with the rest of the
civilised world, know more of the course of this Ozone
land drain than they do of the Amason or the Mississippi.
For this he was soundly rated is the columns of the daily
and weekly prom as if he bad been guilty of in.
calcating some pass,
heresy, or wished to dis-
credit scholastic learning. But this was not his
meaning or his aim. He thought indeed that the
uniform drill of upper class intellect in Greek prosody,
Latin vane, end the religion of Olympus, was an inads-
quote substitute for modern knowle,, in the youth of •
ruling class. No man had arrester respect for true scholar-
ship of any and of every kind ; but he knew that oneeelf
the young men who, by the right divine of territorial reek
or fortune, eater parliament at an early sge, have never
willingly spent an hour in the study of the clanks, whisk
at Eton sad Christchurch they regard simply as the Weise
of their idle lives. And being a man wholly devoid el
superstition, whether social or educational. be could .ell
kelp laughing aloud at that which premalbee a uniform
eyehole of mental Maisie& so barren of flowerer fruit. In
the exclusionist neglect of teachings that might prove law
kimonos, and that might fairly be expected to serve a mare
practical purpose.-4tnrier Quarterly &view, January
