Times trusts, would be—whatever other powers might do
—the last to join in the melee. Faithful to our convictions
that the fall of Turkey is certain, and that it is equally
inadvisable to hasten or to retard it, we should, for our
own part, be most willing to let events take their own
course; and, although we have as yet no
great fait
either in Greeks or in Romans, or in any other the of
races once subject to the Porte, we could wish nothing
better than that they alone should win what the Porte
must lose, and that they should so grow in strength, in
wisdom, and in union, as to be able to hold their own
against all comers.

so free from the parasitical vices by setae
other sports are unfortunately debased. het we.
are reminded, and we trust the gentlemen of our
yacht clubs will be reminded, by this brilliant
exploit pf the three American yachts, that English
yachting has not done all, or nearly all, that was
expected of it for the encouragement of the best
class of seamen, and the construction of the best
models, for yachts may be considered as models of
swift and handy craft. In these important re-
spects our friends at New York have surpassed us
altogether. They build finer vessels, and make a
manlier use of them. Nor is it a sufficient excu
t) say that our yachtsmen are wont to make float
tat
ing houses of their yachts, and to take r
wives and families on board. Probably this is
neither more nor less the habit of yachts-
men at Cowes than at New York.
Indeed, most of our yacht-ovrners, we daresay,
leave their wives and families ashore, and this
perhaps explains die imperfect sympathy with which
too many wives are apt to regard yachting, and the
difficulty which many a fond husband feels in
keeping a yacht and a wife at once. Until the
last few years—we believe it is the Ryde Club
that set the example--an "Ocean match," as a
match to Cherbourg or Plymouth from the Wight,
or from the Thames to Harwich, is oddly called,
was scarcely known. The famous match round
the Eddystone and back between the Talisman
and the Corsair, some twenty years since, was an
almost unique event of the kind. The Royal
Victorians have given a new impulse to the sport
by these " ocean matches," and especially
by insisting on every match being sailed in sea-
going trim, and not as formerly in racing trim r
,
which meant vessels built for racing only, and fo
racing round the Isle of Wight, and stripped of
everything below deck but the ballast, and utterly
out of sea-going condition. Evidently, yachts
built for such sport as that were fit for no other
purpose, and useless as sea-going vessels, and their
crews for the most part mere fancy seamen.
This is not the first time our Yankee friends have
come overto teach us how to build and how to sail
a yacht. The America--a very inferior craft to the
schooners which have just crossed the Atlantic
through December gales in little more than 13
days—not only beat every yacht in English
waters, but actually taught our English yachts-
men how to set their fore and aft sails flat, and
to hold a good wind close hauled. To the
credit of our yachtsmen they were not
ashamed to learn ; and a decided improve-
ment in the build and rigging and sailing
of our yachts was perceptible two years after the
match of the America. Let us hope that this
memorable match of the Henrietta, the Vesta, and
the Fleetwing will excite the English gentlemen
who live at home at ease on board their yachts, to
enterprises of equal pith and moment. There is
in the boldness of this venture, in the largeness of
the stakes, in the vigour and success of the affair,
something that appeals irresistibly to the admira-
tion of all men of English blood, and we rejoice
that the Lords of the Admiralty should have so
gracefully anticipated the desire of their country-
men to do honour to these gallant visitors, and to
make them feel, as they ought to feel, at home in
dish waters.

MISCELLANEOUS TOPICS.
To the Irish claim to legal nationality, adopted by con-
tinental critics who ask why that is a crime in an Irishman
which we are prepared to eulogise in Greeks, Italians, or
Germans, the Timis would simply reply that there is no
such thing as Irish nationality—that the fusion of races is
so general that an attempt to make the native Irish the
governing class of the island could only be compared to a
attempt to reverse our own Norman Conquest, after eight
to
centuries, by a general rising of all who might choose
call themselves Britons, Saxons, or Danes.

The Post, noticing the Russo-American Land Telegraph
project, says that, according to the predictions of the
engineers employed, the year 1868 is not to go by
without giving Europe the option of telegraphic
communication with America along the bed of
the Atlantic, or across Northern Europe and
Asia, as the balance of ecenomy shall determine.
Diverging from the main line in Northern Asia, branch
lines will take their course southward, until Hindostan is
involved in the telegraphic net—next the islands of the
Indian Archipelago—and thence, further on, lines will
pass to Australia and New Zealand.
The Star speaks very highly of an article by Lord
Hobart, in the January number of Macmiltoo's Maga:ine,
on the mission of Richard Cobden, describing it as the
most high-toned and large-minded political essay that has
appeared for a long time past. Lord Hobart's
argument is thus:—Mr. Cobden was not a mere
apostle of free trade, with a strong and rather dan-
gerous tendency to democracy and cheap government, and
a disposition to peace at any price in consideration of the
costliness of war. He was rather what foreigners under-
stood him to be—an international man—the absolutely
first teacher of the principles of virtuous in contradis-
tinction to vicious patriotism. This it was that made him
so hated by " Philistines and Rule Britannia politicians."
And this it was that gave bins his most distinctive place
amongst the political instructors and pioneers of mankind.
Will any rev, gentleman, says the Trlryrajih, in priest's
orders, with a fair degree and a taste for hot weather,

That is really a sincere and genuine advertisement. We
are informed that the tory Secretary for India is in the
deepest embarrassment upon the subject of the vacancy
caused by the lamented death of Dr. Cotton. The metro-
politan see in British India is literally going a begging, and
the report is that the sacred office has been offered in vain
to something like twenty clerical eligibles.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.

(THIS DAY.)

WAGES IN TIIE IRON TRADE.
Mr. George Troup, writing to the Ma,: on
behalf of the iron workers of the north, represents that
their wages were reduced by 10 per cent. last year,
and that when they declined to accept a similar reduction
last June the works were closed by the masters, who re-
jected the offer of arbitration, though the men offered to
go on at the reduction until the questions that might be
submitted to arbitration were settled. Some of the
companies in the course of time got free from the roasters'
union, and offered special terms to their former hands, but
very large firms still continue out. Like their fellow
workmen in Scotland arid Staffordshire, he says, the pud-
diets of the north of England and all other classes in the
iron trade were willing to work two-thirds, half, or even
third time, rather than Muse any inconvenience during
the financial crisis, or subsequently. 'Mr. Troup 040 con-
tends that as the reduction sought in wages could not
have exceeded :ts, rel. or 4s. per ton on plates it is falla-
cious to say that the iron shipbuilders of the Thames are
idle because the ironworkers of the north will not accept
the wages offered to them, nor can the reduction give French
built engines the preference here, for it would not suffice
to pay the engine's freight across the Channel. Ile Nether
says that the Belgian or French peddlers cannot work
English iron, and that our exports of wrought iron at
sli;htly increased prices have increased by 1211,000 tons
over the corresponding ten mouths of last year. To these
arguments the Times replies that it is not any particular
strike which has caused the evil ; that Mr. Troup
forgets the proverb about the last straw, and that :is. or
Is. a ton may be quite sufficient to determine the choice of
the customer or investor between two evenly-balanced alter-
natives. Belgian ironntasters it is clear owe their increasing
prosperity to the low scale of wages they pay, and to
the fact that hitherto they have ese.,,pell the mischievous
operation of strikes. As to the increase of our exports it
would be strange, indeed, if the British iron trade were actu-
ally to decline ; it is lord enough that it should fail to keep
pace with the increased demand, and should not expand
in an equal degree with that of a less favoured country.
The Tine:, further suspects that Mr. Troup, and those
whom he represents, entertain a fatal confidence in the
intrinsic superiority of the British workman. It is absurd
to doubt that men can be found and trained, in Belgium
to do the work of English peddlers, and to doubt that
such men will be found and trained if it becomes the in-
terest of Belgian employers to do so.
To calm and diainterested judgments the Daily News
thinks that the rapid increase of production in Belgium
by no means presupposes that production in England is
falling off. In fact, (luring the last fifteen years, when
we are told strikes and high wages were ruining the trade,
it has been doing more business by half than it (lid.
When this is our acknowledged position, why are we to
grudge the foreigners who in the same time have doubled
their production? With regard to wages, to come to a
just conclusion we must learn not only the day's pay, but
the quantity and the quality of the day's work. Is not
the higher rate iu England balanced either by the more
work done, or the more valuable form in which it is done ?
Tire les on we should learn is that we should cease to com-
pete in the cheaper departments of production and employ
Vie English craftsman chiefly in work that will allow his
supremacy in strength and skill to be exhibited. Let us
study to augment strength with every mechanical improve-
ment, and to develop and refine skill by education. The
competition we arc undergoing will wholesomely stir us up
to further exertion in both respects. When it is urged
that the blind folly of the demands of the men is destroy-
ing both the masters' trade and their own, we must ask the
masters to show us the example of reasonableness on their
own part, to exhibit to the public not only the workman's
wages, but the employer's profits, in order that the public,
which is appealed to as arbiter, rosy have the facts on both
sides equally under its eye.

TI;RKEY AND GREECE.
Influenced by the rule which has obtained of late years,
that the party which, no matter under what provemstion,
first ventures on an appeal to arms, so puts himself
in the wrong, Turkey and Greece, observes the Times,
restrain their eagerness to come to bktws. But, judged by
the common canons of international law, the whole odium
o! the aggression must be thrown upon the King of the
II
G eeks and his government. The question is, however,
whether the Greek government can really prevent assist- I
ante from being conveyed to the insurgents ; and in any 1
case war in the open field is no part of Greek
policy. The Turk, no doubt, would break through

SPAIN.
A correspondent of the Temps, writing from
Madrid on December 23, says :
layette have not ceased for two months, and, at the mo-
ment I am writing, they are taking place with such zeal as
to the cicada and curia, especially in Catalonia.
Their p disgustrotests, respectfully worded, have brought upon
their authors the censure of the captain-genersl,
who in the official bulletin of the province
says "it is expressly forbidden to curia and alcada to
give certificates of moral conduct to anyone who is ar-
rested unless the said certificate has been asked for by the
military authorities." To understand the cruelty of this
proceeding, it must be borne in mind that the arrests are
made in the name of outraged mom, of disturbance
of public order, and that all the unfortunate personson of
who
have been put in prison or deported are, in the opini
the ministerial organs, either vagabonds, or gamblers, of
revolutionists, or knaves, or pickpockets. Since I las
wrote, I have been through the east and south of Spain,
and I have found the same system throughout. The for.
tresses of Alicante,Mahon, andCarthagens are full oh aspects
who are put on board the vessels Si soon as they arrive.
Quite recently 57 sergeants, bound hand and foot, were
placed on board a naval vessel, but I must add, that as
soon as they were on board they were allowed the use of
their limbs, for as a young naval officer said to me, " It
may be our turn to-morrow." The papers describe the
meetings of kings and queens, balls, festivals, and
reviews, but not a word is said of all the Lifer-
ings which exist here nevertheless. The mountains
which extend from Cape Gata to Grenada are
full of fugitives who have escaped from the clutches
of the police. The most minute and searching ques-
tions are put to all foreigners, and it is very difficult to
get along. France, as the author of the Satanicsen re
lotion,
was never more abhorred than she is at pret by
catholic party in Spain.
The helots has the following observationslamation
:
Marshal Narvaez issued some time back a proc
to the army with the object of convincing the soldiers of
the truth that discipline forbade soldiers to have and above
all to express any opinion on political affairs. That com-
munication was so well received that the Ma id Gaatte
dr
for several days past has not ceased to publish addresses
from different regiments expressing their adhesion to the
principles laid down by Marshal Narvaez. That minister
is no doubt highly pleased with the responses, as be grants
to them an official publicity. The regiments which sign
them are, however, acting in contradiction to the principles
laid down in the proclamation, as they take the liberty of
having an opinion and of expressing it openly. The
views are indeed favourable to the government, but they
might be the contrary. The authors of the addresses think
and reason, and this is just what they are forbidden to do
they thus commen :britdisobeying orders to dhow how re-
*dyed they are to to them.

The prisoner had been in the service of the prosecutors
for several years as country traveller, and it VOA his duty
to transmit the amounts weehived from the customers
two or three times a end at the end of
each month to make out a regular balance-sheet, and
band over the amount that remained in his possession. In
November last the prisoner met with an accident, and
while he was confined to his bed, he sent for one of the
prosecutor's firm, and after tome conversation he said that
he had a great weight on his mind, and when he was
asked what it was that affected him ha said that
be had embezzled money to the amount of between 600 i.
and 700/. The prosecutor then tent a clerk to the prisoner,
and to him he gave a detailed statement of the amount
he had so embezzled, and exprzased his sorrow for whet he
had done.
The prisoner, who edmitted his guilt, was committed for
trial.
It was stated that the prisoner was paid a salary of 200/.
a year, and 20s. a day for expenses.

ROBBERY OF OVER 500/. WORTH OF GOLD AHD
NI LVER WIRIL
William Reynolds, a clerk, was charged, on remand, with
stealing within the past nine months, between 500/. and
GOO/. worth of gold and silver wire, the property of his em-
ployers, Messrs. Johnson and Son.
The facts of this case have been reported, and it will be
remembered that the prisoner had been in tan
it
of
the prosecutors for about nine months, and had effected
the robberies by altering the figures in the books.
The prisoner said he was guilty, and asked the magis-
trate to decide the case.
Mr. Cooke said be could not decide the case, and com-
mitted the prisoner to the Middlesex Sessions for trial

ROBBERY OF A BAR OF COLO.
Ac aro Bishop, aged 21, a stoker, and flotry Bishnp, aged
48, a dressing-case maker, (father and son),
were charged,
the former with stealing and the latter with receiving a
bar of gold of the value of 45f., the property of Mr. John
Dyer, gold and silver flatter, of No. 21, Meredith-street,
Clei kenwell.
The facts of this case have been reported, and it will be
remembered that the younger prisoner bad been in the em-
ploy of the prosecutor, and when he left the gold was
missed. When the younger prisoner was apprehended by
Inspector Bryant, G division, and Police-constable Ranger,
198 G, he said he had taken the bar of gohld to spite his
master for discharging him. lie also said tat his father
had the gold. When the father was spoken to about the
matter he said, " I have had it, but they have got to find
it." The gold has not been recovered.
The prisoners reserved their defence.
Mr. Cooke committed them both to the Middlesex Ses-
sions for trial.
seniors ACCIDENT ON THE METROPOLITAN EXTENSION
RAILWAY THROUGH PRI NKENNI.BI4.
One of the manWrs for Mr. Kelk, the contractor for
r.
the Metropolitan Extension Railway, applied to M
Cooke for a summons against one of the men engaged on
the engines for lifting the earth out of the tunnel in the
Fairingdoa-road for being drunk and incapable of using
the imtchinety properly, and thereby causing injury to
two of the workmen.
The applicant stated that the duty of the man against
whom he applied as
to regulate one of the engines that lift
workmen and the earth out of the tunnel. Yesterday
he was drunk, and as some men were being lowered in
a skip into the tunnel he allowed it to go down as fr.st
as it could, and the consequence was that two men were
thrown out, and were very seriously injured. One of the
injured men was so bad that this morning
he could not
move in bed, and from what he had heard he understood
his bladder bad been injured.
Mr. Cooke asked if the place where the man was drunk
was private propei ty.
The applicant said it was, and was enclosed.
Mr. Cooke said he could not grant the application. The
remedy against the man would be by civil action.
The applicant said that he understoc that
and whcauseden a
workman in charge cf machinery got drunk
danger to individuals, the magistrate could punish the
offender.
Mr. Cooke said ho had never before had an application
of this sort. He could not punish the man for being
drunk on private property.
The applicant said it would be of no use bringing an
action against a workman, who had got nothing. Some
time since, when one of the workmen got drunk and
injured the machinet y, he applied at this court for a
summons, and Mr. I"...yncourt said that had there been
injuries to the person he would have granted the summons.
Mr. Cooke—Did he 2-,cant the summons
The applicant plied in the negative ; but said that
re
Mr. d'Eyncourt was very clear in saying that be would
have granted the summons had any person been injured.
Mr. Cooke said it was not a matter in which he cou'd
interfere, and the applicant, having thanked his wtrship,
retired.
