THE ROYAL visirr TO HILLARD.

Only in the presence of royalty, says the Post, are reli-
gion. differences overcome in Ireland. In St. Patrick's Cathe-
dral protestant" and catholic" will, for once, meet as Chris-
tiana. But, what is more, the visit will prove to any one
who may have doubted the fact, that if the Irish church
was established " as the fort of the throne," the imperial
sovereignty is no longer dependent on such security. In
Ireland, as in England, the crown is guarded by the loyalty
and the love of the nation. If, as Lord Lytton's line runs,
" Brute force is many—mind is always one," when a
people are of one mind their moral force rests, so to speak,
upon itself. The natural position is strong in its own
strength. Nor may a welcome that expresses confidence
be cynically depreciated. There will be no cheers that are
not spontaneous ; no mere lip-loyalty.

MIL GOLDWIN SUITH.

The Times reviews in a tone of banter the late speech of
Mr. Ooldwin Smith at Manchester. With regard to his
censure upon the conservative government, are all other
statesmen, even those of the straiten liberal school, so
I entirely without guile, so resolved to do the right thing
at all events, and tell tho truth in or out of season ? Was
there no alloy of human policy in the long suppression of
the Irish church question, and its sudden emergence in
the midst of a debate upon two bills for parliamentary
reform, and precisely at a time when it was impossible to
proceed further than an abstract resolution ? Who was
it that began this war of nu menses in reform ? Indeed,
' in such a mess as politics h►ve come to there is not a charge
that can be made without its apt reply. As to his views
upon land, which the Times does not altogether profess to
understand, he is told that everything in this country
and Ireland—both public institutions and social habits—
rests upon the maintenance of hereditary estates. Our
old families, their ancient seats, and patrimonial estates
often bring little more than care, sadness, and disappoint-
ment to living bearers of the great names and the heavy
charge ; but they are the unfailing source of pure and
simple pleasures to thousands who are content not to call
an acre of land their own. An immense proportion of oar
people are so born and 'brought up as to wish for nothing
better all their lives than domestic service with the
gentry, and regular employment on their estates. Those
who do not admire this state of things should follow Mr.
Geld win Smith's example, and go to the United States.

Briefly, the article in oar contemporary raises
afresh a confused issue, which has hem raped a
hundred times before, and for the express prposs,
in too many cases, of throwing dust in the eyes of
sincere Liberals.

MR. GLADSTONI miy safely leave his enemies to
decide among themselves the character of his of-
fences. At present they rather contend with each
other than prevail against him. While Mr.
Dune Aim and the Record charge him with allying
himself with Popery and Ritualism, the organ of
the Papal government, the Osservatore Romano, re-
' pudiates him in this wise :—His proposal, it says,
" is merely inspired by the spirit of freemasonry
" which is msking war on the papacy, on the catholic
" religion, on divine revelation ; and its object
" is to ruin heretical and protestant churches out of
" hatred for that remnant of positive religion and
" that small glimmer of revelation which some pro-
" testant sects and amongst them the Anglican
" Church still preserved." A proposition for dises-
tablishing an ecclesiastical institution seems to
bring about wonderful associations.

Ma. R. .Awrgra AiNOLD, in a letter to the
Times, gives an account of the modern Greek
system of voting by ballot. The elector, he says,
receives perfect and complete protection against
intimidation, for the vote is really and truly secret.
The machinery is very simple, resembling that
which is in vogue in cur West-end clubs. A
ballot-box is provided for each candidate ; one-half
of the box is painted white with the word " Yea,"
and the other half is painted black, with the word
" No." As the clerk pronounces the name of the
candidate the voter passes his arm up a funnel
about a foot long until his hand reaches the
division opening to the two compartments, into one
of which, unseen, he drops his bullet and votes
according to his inclination. In the box of every
candidate there should be found a bullet for every
voter polled, and the watchers of the election can
therefore verify their observation. When the poll
is closed the " Ayes " and " Noes " are quickly
counted upon wooden frames, with holes sunk like
those of a bagatelle-board. The bullets are
poured over this frame, and when all the holes are
occupied there is no doubt about the number so
included.

Tau Archbishop of Mounts has just peiblished
his " Shortest Way " with starving Mahometans.
In a pastoral letter on the famine, dated April 6,
he says that the only remedy for the woes of the
Arab population is to endeavour to convert them
to Catholicism, and failing that to drive them out
into the desert, and leave them with their Koran,
cut off from the civilised world.

THE EXPRESS,

for the words actually used in the House of
Commons. It is all very well for •
Minister to praise the High Church party
in a letter, but this of itself does not alter the
fact that he has abused them in • speech. From
this position Mr. DISRAILI extricates himself with
considerable ingenuity. He knows enough of
human nature to be aware that no man
ever allows that his views are extreme.
That term is always reserved for some
one of his friends. Consequently, when it is
explained on authority that Mr. DISRAELI'S words
only referred to "an extreme faction in the
" Church," all the sting is taken out of them.
I 1 Every
Conservative High Churchman will com-
placently apply them to a brother clergyman whose
opinions are one degree more pronounced than his
own, and be quite ready toallow that there is a great
deal of truth in what Mr. Distuata says. To cele-
brate this happy reconciliation all round, a victim
I was wanted fur sacrifice, and Mr Disaanza had one
i ready in the Liberation Society. In Conservative
and ecclesiastical circles this body has no friends,
and the PRINZ MINISTER proceeds to paint its cha-
racter and predict its future without any fear of
giving offence. During the many years the society
has pursued its unobtrusive way it may often have
been called shallow and fanatical. It was reserved
for Mr. DDSRABLI to discover that its folly is equal
to its guilt, and that when it thinks itself most
important it is nothing but an " instrument in the
" hands of this confederacy" of Ritualist*. Hap-
pily, however, a terrible retribution is in store for
it. " The Liberation Society will probably
" be the first victim of the spiritual despotism
"it is now blindly working to establish." Even
in bowing to Mr. Digerati's providential decree
we cannot repress a cry for mercy. Must they all
perish ? We venture to think there is hope. Even
an " extreme faction " may not be so bloodthirsty
as it is painted, and when Mr. hfacitowocnis re-
kindled the fires of Smithfield on the open space
near Field-lane he may perhaps content himself
with burning Mr. MILLI. and letting the humbler
members escape. It is impossible to suppose Mr.
• Dittaasid in earnest when he gives utterance to such
vaticinations as these. But what estimate must be
formed of a Minister who, in the midst of a great
constitutional struggle, does not think it beneath
him to appeal to apprehensions of which even Mr.
NEWDR•IATE would be ashamed ?

HOLBORN AMPHITHEATRE.

The accident that happened last week to Made-
moiselle Azella, the female imitator of Leotard, has been
met by the proprietors by the engagement of a Made-
moiselle Pereira, a lady who performs with great skill and
daring on what is technically called the high still trapeze.
The perils of the flying trapeze, the apparatua used by
Azella, have been greatly exaggerated. The utmost dis-
tance the performer could fall wag only twelve feet, and
she fell eight feet on a well-padded mattress. The injury
she kal sustained is a straining of the muscles of the arms.
M. Agoust, the juggler at this house, is one of the most
perfect masters of his craft who ever appeared in a theatre.
Everything he does is full of grace and ease. The general
performances are varied and interesting.

EASTER AMUSEMENTS.

The Easter performances this year are, if any-
thing, a little more spectacular than usual, and
nearly all the novelties are burlesques and extrava-
ganzas. Two of them are from the pen of Mr. F.
U. Bnrnand, and, what is very unusual in inch
pieces, are founded upon French originals. It is
not often that holiday seasons are selected by actors
for farewell performances, but this rule has been
broken by Madame Celeste, who has returned from
a long and successful tour round the world, and
has chosen the St. James's as the theatre for her
final representations. An old and deserved favou-
rite like Madame Celeste, one of the best serious
pantomintista who ever appeared on the English
stage, is sure of a hearty welcome. Five of the
central London theatres—the New Royalty, Prince
of Wales's. Adelphi, Princess's, and 'Haymarket—
adhere to their old and popular programmes, the
Lyceum is in the hands of the Japanese acrobats,
and Drury-lane is a temporary Italian house. Mies
Glyn has accepted an engagement at the Standard
theatre—the largest house in London—and the
Surrey has introduced the public to a new drama-
tist in the person of a popular novelist.
London, England, 1868-04-14

OLYMPIC.

To describe the Easter offering at this theatre,
we have only to copy from the play-bill ►nd designate it
"an extravagant piece of operatic absurdity." /Though
there was an effort at applause at the close, there were
unmistakable demonstrations of a different kind, which
dime not augur a very long run for Ha and Miss.
The Easter piece was heralded by Mr. Stirling Coyne's
Woman of the World. Mr. C. Mathews appearing as
Moulton, and Mrs. Stirling as Mrs. Eddystone. We need
hardly add that in such bands it was quite effective.

of other attractions that offered themselves to the public
at various distances round London. The weather wu fine,
although cold—or rather perhaps it should beUlleel brisk,
as it was geni►l enough to permit the garden to set forth
all its spring flowers and shrubs in more than their usual
brilliancy and luxuriance. Within the palace a varied
programme kept every one amused during the day. The
numbers admitted yesterday were 27,735.

ALHAMBRA PALACE.

The Easter entertainments at this theatre of
varieties consist, as usual, of three ballets—each different
in character; a promenade concert ; and high-class gym-
nastics ; M. Leotard having been exclusively engaged for
his new and improved performance on the flying trapeze,
in which he makes the same le►pi on two bars that he
used to make on four. Tho band, sixty strong,
is one of the most complete in London, and it plays
ten pieces of music comprising classical over-
tures, German waltzes, operatic selections, &c.,
every night between the pantomimic and spectacular
ballets. The -oval music is given in moderate quantities,
and. •he public are not overcloyed with what is called
comic singing.

(THIS DAY.)

WAR RUMOURS.

Rumours of war once more prevail in Paris.
They are circulated with so much persistency that
one of the officious journals has thought it neces-
sary to say that " those who try to prove that the
government wishes for war and is preparing to de-
dare it are guilty of a flagrant abuse of reason."
The Journal des !Abuts of to-day has a long
article pointing out the causes for these rumours,
and showing that the government of France
has not only no motive for going to war
but is using the greatest diligence in avoiding
every thing that might lead to a simple difference
between the Powers. On the other hand, the
financial correspondent in Paris of the Indipendanee
Beige says that military preparations are urged on
with an extraordinary activity, just as if the
country was on the eve of hostilities, that business
is wholly suspended and that commerce will not
resume its natural course till these military prepa-
rations are given up.

A letter from Mayence Nays that great activity
prevails in the fortress. Large quantities of gun-
powder and many cannons have recently been
removed from Mayence to Wiesbaden and Castel.
One would suppose that war was imminent.

The Senate has passed the bill waking eight
hours the legal day's labour in the government
yards and workshops. The leading republicans
voted against the measure. The President will
doubtless sign it. Its success has been due to
electioneering influence.
The Arkansas members have been admitted,
under protest from the democratic members of the
house, on the ground that the constitution has
been adopted under a military government, and
the administration of unconstitutional test oaths.
The President has sent to the house Mr. Seward's
despatch to Mr. Moran, of the London Legation,
remonstrating against the imprisonment of Warren
and Costello, and asserting that he has vainly in-
vited the British government to make an equal
treaty on the naturalisation question.

BOW-STREET.

Sir Thomas Henry was occupied during a considerable
portion of the afternoon in investigating a aeries of
charges against the Circular Delivery Company, for in-
fringement of the privilege conferred by statitite upon
the Post-office authorities. The specific charges re-
lated to the delivery of four letters or circulars. Tin'
summonst.• wereeightin number, four against Mr. Manuel
Eyre, and four against the company generally.
The prosecution was conducted by Mr. Poland (in-
structed by Mr. I'escock) on behalf of the Post-oflioe
authorities, middle defence by Mr. Merriman, of the tins
of Merriman and Ituckland, 25, Queen-street.
Mr. Poland, in opening thopmemxlings, explained that
they were iustituttd muter the let Vie., c. 36, 5.2, prohibiting
certain exceptions) the conveyance of letters other-
% ise than by post, and imposing penalties of ‘5/. per letter,
or lOW. per week, so long as the infraction were continue 1.
He observed that the law applied not only to individuals
lint also to bodies oorporute, and that the exceptions ap-
plied to letters sent by the hand of a private friend, and
having relation to the private affairs either of the writer
or of the persons to whom such letters were ruldnoemsl.
The facts were gone into at some length, mid after
considerable discussion it was agreed to draw up a cute
to be argued before the superior courts.
Sir Thomas Henry inflicted a nominal penalty of 51. in
the mum of Mr. Eyre, and another 51. against the com-
pany. The remaining summonses were disposed of by a
nominal ramalty of Is. in each case, by consent.
Sir Thomas Henry said that notice of appeal must be
given within three days.

MIL DISRAELI AND LORD CLARENDON.

No public man, oboirves the Times, ought to announce
without shame and regret that at any time the name of
Flighted was a name of siispiition and distrust ; and no
sophistry can avail against the fact that Lord Derby re-
quested Lord Clarendon to retain his post at the Foreign-
office, although the latter must have approved the policy
which had been maintained by Lord Rummell, his predeces-
sor. Mr. Disraeli's language was very ill-judged, and the
Times totally denies that any such effects were produced
by Lord Russell's faults as Mr. Disraeli alleges.
The Dady News revives the fact that Mr. Disraeli ten
years ago made a series of charges against Lord Clarendon
and his foreign policy.
The Nlavderrl denies that Lord Derby bad ever vaid
that it was his prime object to induce Lord Clarendon to
join his Cabinet. Ile simply asked him to do so in order
that the thread of foreign negotiation should not bo
ale uptly broken off ; besides, it mutt be remembered that
Lord Clarendon us Foreign Minhter under Lord Derby
would have been very different from Lord Clitnaideu,
Foreign Mintiter under Earl Itu..sell. In the fanner ea..)
he would have bad the control width wii- alt•igether
eluding in the latter.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-{THIS DAY.)

EQUITY COURT.
(Be•fore Tice-Chancellor Sir 0. IL Gifford.)
tiuncra r. THE lIRTROPOLITAN RAILWAY.
The plaintiff, Mr. Spicer, being under a contract with
the Commissioners of the Exhibition, from whom he had a
lease of some land at South Kensington, for building
within six months houses to the value of 2,0001.
each, the defendants. the Metropolitan Railway Company.
procured the passing of an Extension Act, 1864, and
served a notice to take part of the demised land for the
purpose of making a road to a now projected station.
this Extension Act provisions were inserted that the
company were within twelve months to make a road
to the satisfaction of Mr. Hunt, the surveyor of the
mimb.ionery and the plaintiff. This road would furnish
a new approach to the plaintiff's houses. It w.es upon
the terms of this agreement for the completion of the road
that the plaintiff withdrew his opposition to the bill. The
road not having been within twelvemonths completed, the
plaintiff filed this bill for its performance and damages.
Mr. Kay, Q.C., and Mr. Julliffe appeared for the plain-
tiff.

Sinee the filing of this bill the defend:nth had Puma
out that the plaintiff, whose houses were fltii.hed ex-
ternally before the bill was tiled, had encroached on the
to by a verandah to the extent of ail inehos.
Mr. 'Drum Q.C., and Mr. Boval for the company said
that the encroachment was an answer to the apphcation
for damages; and that tin contniet coal not he carried
out by the court, inasmuch us the road was to h., made bo
the sat isfact hat of Mr. Hunt, 1111 T whom his Honour had
no ne r of jurisdiction.
Mr. Kay. in reply, said tint no one except a railway
ro inj any in distress would think of settiug up such a
defence.

The Vire-ehancellor said he had no doubt nimut the
jurisdiction. Them must be a decree for specific perform-
ance of the contract, jut this was not a ease which his
Honour would send to chambers. The decree would be
without prejudice to any action the plaintiff might bring
in respect of damages for the delay, with leave to bring
such action. The plaintiff would have the costs of the
suit; hut he must undertake to remove the encroachment,
and the defendants would have liberty to bring an action
for damages in respect of the encroachment, if so advised.

MIDDLE-CLASS EXCURSIONISTS.

THE vacation time of a large class of Londoners
eoinniences several weeks before the close of the
London season. When the schools break up in
June there is a rush incontinently to what, with-
e•ut much strain of language, may be called the
sea-side suburbs of London—to Ramsgate and
Margate, to Brighton and Hastings, and to South-
( ad, beloved of cockneys. For the next six weeks
the lodging-house keepers at these popular resorts
make their summer harvest, which is not the only
one in the year. Brighton, indeed, can boast a
perennial season, and so also may Hastings; but
a watering-place which, like Ramsgate, is unfre-
quented by the wealthier classes, relies mainly for
its prosperity upon the hot bright weeks of
tumult r. Everybody knows the sort of life led at
these places by the family man whose means are
moderate, and whose olive-branches are propor-
tionately numerous. With his children around
him, and his wife by his side, it must be
taun for grunted that he is happy; but as he has
no resources whatever beyond a morning bath, a
taste of sea-siekness in a pleasure-boat, or a 101 l
uron the shore until the early dinner-hour; as
there is nothing to be done after dinner save to
read or to sleep, and nothing after that but a walk
upon the Parade, it is not to be wondered

slaughtered as near as possible to the place where
the meat is to be retailed. If compulsory slaughter
is to be insisted upon, the site proposed for the
Islington abattoirs is far preferable to that at
Dagenham ; but in either ease the poor will be-
come the sufferers. If we are to have public)
abattoirs, they must be in different localities, as. in
Paris, otherwise the price of meat will vise above
the reach of the humbler classes, who are already
much dissatisfied with the manner in which they
have been treated by the abolition of the compound
householder system. The establishment of the
proposed Metropolitan Foreign Cattle Market
would be like pouring oil upon fire. It would
prove a dangerous experiment on the patience and
temper of the poor, who, when they found them-
selves heavily taxed for the benefit of the British
cattle breeder, would not be long in giving open
expression to their dissatisfaction. It is the Let
straw which breaks the easel's back.

THE NEW ASYLUM AT LANCASTER.

TUE foundation of an Asylum at Lancaster
" for the education and training of idiots" is s
matter of no ordinary interest. Thirty years ago
we did not, or would not, believe that idiots
were capable of any kind of instruction, and there
was probably no portion of the population that
needed so much help and received so little. In-
deed idiots, among all classes of society, were oom-
paratively neglected—kept out of sight and in soli-
tude by the rich, and too often laughed at or
persecuted by the poor. At a time when refugee
for the care of these unfortunate beings were
established in several continental states, England
was still without an idiot asylum, and the first
germ of the present institutions may be traced to
a private house in Bath, which was under the care
of some benevolent ladies. Thanks, however, to
the philanthropic exertions of Dr. ANDREW REED,
a home for idiots was opened exactly 20 years ago
on the summit of Highgate-hill. Before long it
attracted the attention of the yublio awl of men
of science, who discovered that kindness and dis-
ciplinecould do much towards ameliorating thecon-
dition of the strange family thus brought together.
This embryo establishment ham now expanded
into the national institution of Earlswood, and it
is found that of the cases admitted " 10 per cent.
" become self-supporting ; 40 per cent. become so
" far improved as to cease to use up a sane life
"in their care, and become contributors to
" the common stock ; and of the remainder
" all but 6 per Dent. are invariably
" improved in their habits, and become
" greatly lessened burdens on their families and
" society." Earlswood is not the only idiot
asylum which can testify to these mooessfal results
in the south of England, but it seems that up to
the present time no similar institutions have been
established in the north, where, unhappily, they
are quite as much needed. The Royal Albert
Asylum, so brilliantly inaugurated on Wednes-
day, will supply a want that has long been felt in
the great manufacturing counties.

REPREAMITATION OF
William 11!Combie, of;Tillyfeetr, the well-!mown breeder
of stock, and who had the honour the other day of a visit
from her Majesty the Queen, has announced his inten-
tion of standing for the mooed seat given to Aberdeen-
shire under the new bill. As Mr. lir Canine has been
diligently at work for a considerable time back, obtaining
the promise of support of hie brother farmers, and as
this large body entertain a very natural desire to be
represented by one of their own order, there is every
chance of his being returned. Questioned on Friday
by a committee of electors am to his political creed,
Mr. WCombie said he would take his seat on the bombes
ocoopiod by the Waldo of Mr. Oisdatam.
