A WORD OF WARNING.

UNDETY.RBED by the melancholy example of the
Morning Chronicle, it seems that the Second
Empire has again secured the services of a very
clamorous and clumsy elaqueur in the English press.
It is an act of the merest charity to warn tho Impe-
rial Government of Franco that there is no surer
way of alienating the sympathies of any and every
section of the English public than by attempting to
impose upon its candour and confidence elaborate

THE RACE OF THE TEA CLIPPEREI FROM

CHINA.

The annual race of the tea-ships from Chins
has a scientific as well as a commercial interest.
Year after year the sailor is learning were and
more how to utilise the winds and currents at sea.
The routes which should be followed by outward
or homeward bound ships are no longer a matter
of opinion or a subject of speculation.
The publication of Captain Maury's " Wind and
Current Charts" called the attention of naviga:-
tom to the advantage! which wouldonommrily
acute to commerce if the experience of all who
havens the sea could be eollected together and
the results incorporated in charts. At the meet-
ing of the British Association of IfiS3 it wag
stated that the merchants of Bombay estimated
the annual saving which would accrue to British
commerce, in those waters alone, from the use.of
properly constructed " wind and current charts,"
would be from two to four hundred thousand
pounds.
Since that time the course of research suggested
by Csgstain Maury has been widely extendod.
The blink spaces left in his charts have been filled
art in every sea a multitude of observations,
far better and more exact than those contained in
the eldwat-logs made nee of by Maury, have been
collected and aunwiariaed. "In a little while,"
says Maury, " more than a thousand navigators
were isigaged day and night, and in all parts of
the ocean, in making and recording observations
according to a uniform plan. and in furthering
this attempt to increase our knowledge as to the
winds and currents of the sou and other phe-
nomena which relate to the safe navigation of its
waters."

The result has been that there is no important
sea-voyage which has not been materially short-
ened. The average time from Englund to Aus-
tralia before the publication of Captain Manry's
charts was 124 days, and the return journey wen-
pied about the ammo time. Since then the out-
ward journey has been nsluctsl to 97 days (on the
average), and the homeward passage has been
made—under canvas alone— in 63 days. The
average passage to California—the route which of
all others most tries the prowess of a ship anti the
sldll of her commander—used to be about IK3
days; it has now been reduced to 133 days. A
lees important reduction has been shown in the
voyage from Europe to China, yet even here the
outward imssage has been tin • 'lied by ten days.

A X " ITINERATING" KNIGHT.

It• it could be said of the quality of honour
distributed by a Prime Minister as of the quality
of mercy, that it is not strained, and that it
blesses him who gives and him who takes,
then, assuredly, the present would be
one of the most blessed administrations that
ever governed England. Mr. DISRAELI, faith-
ful in this as in so many other respects to his great
Imperial prototype, is showering titles with a pro-
fusion which bids fair to make them as cheap as
the ribbons and rosettes of the Legion of Honour.
The Gazette of last evening confers the
dignity of knighthood on Mr. ANDREW FAIRBAIRK,
the Mayor of Leeds, and on Captain FREDERICK
Axaow, the Deputy-Master of the Trinity House—
two most unexceptionable nominations. To these,
however, is added another name which is not so
cagily accounted for. Mr. EDWARD WILLIAM WAT-
KIN is advanced to the dignity of knighthood. For
what public services—it may be asked by some cap-
tious misanthropic objectors—civil, military,
or political i We are sorry to be unable to suggest
any other answer to such a question than that Sir
EDWARD WILLIAM WATNIN was once unseated
for bribery at Yarmouth, that as Chairman
of the South Eastern Railway (among
Heaven knows how many other companies
dead or alive !) he has made himself principally re-
sponsible for raising the fares on that line, and
that in the last session of Parliament he, in con-
junction with Mr. Lsulo, put an amendment
on the notice paper (subsequently withdrawn
under the pressure of his constituents) which
would have had the effect of relegating
all action on the Irish Church question to the new
Parliament, precisely in accordance with the
wishes and the policy of Mr. DitaLtyl. This was
by no means the first occasion on which Sir
EDWARD WATRIR, albeit a " Liberal " member,
had made himself agreeable and useful to
a Tory Government. That this " itinerating
" chairman," as the new knight was once most hap-
pily described, is an able and enterprising, a most
plausible and eloquent man of business, a per-
fect master of the art of tickling the credulity of
shareholders, we should be the last to deny. Had
his lot been cast in France he would probably be
at this moment Minister of Finance or of Public
Works. His Liberal constituents will no doubt
acknowledge with gratitude the singular fitness of
his new dignity.

TAO INOSELMI OP

Both the Herald and 6tanderd, apropos of General
Feel's letter, repeat their defence of the flannelsl admi-
nistration of the government, and ascribe the increase of
expenditure to the files economy of Mr. Gladstone.

'The Svnr on the other band considers that General
Peel's letter makes out no case for himself or for his
friends. It is open to just the same criticism as the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer's letter to Yr. Cross. General
Peel answers the complaint that so much money has been
spent by merely acknowledging that it has been spent,
and declaring that he thinks it was necessary. Where
his predecessors effected any saving, he merely says ho
thinks it was unwise saving. The Star dose not see that in
any single instance he denies that the expenditure has kept
steadily increasing since the accession of the toriei to
power.

Referring to the appointment of Lord Mayo to the post
of Governor-liaseral of India, the Post observes that
when so large a possession as our Indian empire is at
stake it is not enough to rely upon unsupported possibili-
ties; and, if a government has any duties to perform at
all, it is oue of the most important it can fulfil to be care-
ful, in making such an appointment, to select a man who
has, by his training and performances, raised a strong
presumption that he is the most fitting person for the post.
The tint act of the new parliament will be to call the
ministry to a strict account in the matter, while the first
act of a new ministry will be to rescind an appointment
which amid never have been made.

THE PCBLIC REV TT.

The Revenue Returns of the quarter and year which ex-
pired last night verify the anticipations which have been
generally expressed of a falling off of the public income of
the country. The quarter's return shows a net decrease of
as much as 806,9351. The diminution has taken place
mainly in the Excise and the Income and Property Tax,
the first of which shows a decrease of 379,000 f., and the
second of 429,0001. On the other hand, the Customs have
yielded 138.00 W. more than in the corresponding quarter of
1866. The Timm points out that the losses tithe lastyearand
a ball are brought home to the public) by some of the items,
especially by the Property Tax, which is a never falling
index of national well-being. This decrease is a sign of

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.

(THIS DAY.)

SHE NEW TRAIL

The year which begins to-day will not, observes
the Times, have done many months of its weary work
before it brings us fresh and, perhaps, still more painful
illustrations of the evils which disquiet the peace of •
great nation. At home, at our very doors, there is a
widespread conspiracy, which is daily becoming more
reckless and more mischievous ; and it cannot be forgotten
that circumstances may arise, from beyond the seas, which
may teach us to our oast what it is to have a divided
family. Our trades' unions have lately suffered disgrace-
ful exposures; but the spirit remains, and them is not a
branch of enterprise that is not endangered by it. For
this and similar evils we might look for relief to
improved education, amended law, higher commercial
morality, and a sounder state of trade. But here are
the very tasks which seem only to grow as we gaze at
thew, and elude our grasp when we would handle them.
Abroad, no ono can foresee what results the exigencies of
en armed peace and the blunders of a vacillating policy
may have on popular dissatisfaction. Already personal
government has lost not • little of its prestige in France.
In Italy, in Belgium, in Holland, in Greece, New Year's-
day breaks in the midst of the uncertainties inseparable
from ministerial crises ; while in North Germany and
Austria the year begins with the experiment of new con-
stitutions. It is under such auspices that we stand upon
the threshold of the twentieth year after the great year of
European convulsions.
The Daily Pews remarks that the reform agitation which
may now have ceased was but one expression of the popu-
lar sense that new necessities were arising which would
require new forces and agencies to meet them, and the
delusion that after the Reform Bill things will go on much
as they did before is as vain an imagination as purblind
prejudice ever indulged in. The year upon which we are
now entering can be at best little more than • year of pre-
paration for social changes. The abatement of pauperism,
the improvement of the agricultural labourer, the recon-
ciliation of the rigLt of combination with that of freedom
to bold aloof from combination, the communication of
technical instruction, the diffusion of education, the con-
ciliation of Ireland by • frank redress of all her .real
grievances—to all these things the national attention is
peremptorily summoned, not merely by a sense of duty,
but by regard to our own safety. Inflammable materials
abound over Europe, and if disturbancesthould burst forth,
England can expect exemption from it only through the
satisfaction of her people with the established order, or the
perception that progress is being made to a better adjust-
ment of social relations.

EXPRESS FROM PARLS.

(191011 0011 OWN COIRISPONDIOIT.)
PARIS, VENDA! EVIXIKO.

-
Count de Clair, no longer Prussian envoy, had
an audience of the Emperor at the Tuileries to-
day to present his credentials se representative of
the " Northern Geripanits Confederation." He
made a speech on the occasion, which is said to
have been long. You will see it in to-morrow's
Moniker. The Emperor, in reply, is said to have
expressed a hope that Count de Goltz's
position will contribute to maintain the good
relations between the two countries, which
are a guarantee for the peace of Europe.
His Majesty could scarcely have said more or less.
I do not expect that the text of his speech will in
any way relieve the anxiety felt upon the all
important question whether Franoe, while
acquiescing in " accomplished facts," is prepared
to make a cams belli of their necessary oonse-

quenoss.
The itioniteur publishes this day (Dec. 31), at
the very late hour prescribed by law, the electoral
circumscriptions for the next five years. There
will be a great deal to be said about the ingenious
way in which the districts are so contrived as to
make it extremely difficult for the electors to take
counsel together. The old system is persevered in
with all the aggravations that experience could
suggest. The hope quite lately cherished that
Paris would get one or two additional members is
disappointod. The number is to be but nine, as
heretofore. As long as Paris returns opposition
deputies the government will never open its eyes
to see an increase of the population.
The Kervignee jury of honour met last night,
and adjourned till Jan. 11, when it is said a final
sitting will take place.
There was a great and extraordinary row for a
trivial cause, resulting in an unusual di/ailment,
at the Porte St. Martin Theatre last night. The
performance was an occasional one—the first re-
presentation of a comic review of the year. In the
course of the extravaganza, Mdlie. Silly, who was
formerly at the Varietis, which she left in conse-
quence of a quarrel with Mdlle. Schneider, gave
an imitation of the latter actress. Such imitations
in new year's pieces are very usual. The
one in question was very well receive!),
by the audience, but a single individual,
who by his Itfituds hid himself open to the inept-
hgeose,
cion of being a particular friend of Mae. Sena-

ST. JAMES'S CHAPEL, BEIGHTON.

The Rev. E. Clay, of Brighton, and four other
gentlemen have addressed a letter to the Bishop of
Chichester, pointing out how be may best prosecute Mr.
Pinches, and announcing that, if he will do so, tlwy will
undertake the payment of the necessary costs. The
Bishop's reply has not been published. The Record of
last night has the following remarks:
The Bishop of Chichester has not hitherto the good
fortune to be well advisill in his law proceedings.
e04.1y failure in the Icklesham Chapel case leads us to
doubt if his lawyers measured their ground very carefully
before they advised the aged prelate to issue au inhibition
against Mr. Purcha', on the supposition that St. James's
was simply a proprietary chapel, and that the minister
was not an incumbent. The bishop might long ago have
inhibited Mr. Perry, at St. Michael and All Angels', had
he been rightly advised, and he might now inhibit
Father Ignatius as be inhibited Mr. Knapp, and also
inhibit the assistant ministers at St. James's. The con-
fident assurance with which Mr. Purchas treats the inhi-
bition with contempt, and the assertion of the ultra-
journals that "it is waste ," seem to indicate that
they have good ground- to believe that the aged
bishop has been again ill-advised. But this will not bar
a prosecution for the violation of the Act of Uniformity.

TOUTU IN TUE PULPIT.

The announcement of the special services now being
held at St. Mark's, Whitechapel, in which Mr. Maurice,
Mr. Llewellyn Davies, Mr. Stopford Brooke, and other
clergymen are discoursing upon the duties of citizens in
respect of political questions, lathe text of an article in the
Daily Naar on the relationship existing between politics
and the pulpit. The doctrine that politics are not the
business of the clergymen, and that public ques-
tion' are out of place in the pulpit, is quite
true of the politics of the electioneering agent, of
the partisan, and of the hunter after preferment.
But this is only the lower and degraded side of the ques-
tion, and to bring hack politics into the sphere of morals
is an undertaking which fairly fills within the province of
the acknowledged moral instructors of the community.
The moral obligations of politics are, however, a province
which the preacher hitherto has left almost entirely un-
touched. There have been some illustrious exceptions to
this rule of silence—Arnold in England, Chalmers in Scot-
land, Clamming an the United States. The work that
these men did, and the higher tone which they communi-
cated to society, shows how large and fertile
a field lies open for the cultivation of those
who will pursue the same toils in the same spirit.
But even Chalmers in discoursing of the •` Christian and
Civic Economies of Great Towns," and Charming in de-
nouncing slavery and the spirit of aggression, followed
precedents, reaching as far back as the Hebrew
prophets who, whatever other character may be-
long to them, united with it that of the political
guides of their nation. There are signs that
the religious teachers of England, both is the Angli-
can and in the nonconformist churches, are becom-
ing aware of their neglect, and are rallying themselves to
combat the evil. The clergy cannot help teaching
politics of one sort or another, and if they do not approach
the great problems of society, as Christians and moralists,
they can scarcely avoid approaching than as irritated
partimus.

TORT ANTICIPATIONS.

The Standard assures its readers that Mr. Gladstone
" knows he will be beaten in Lancashire," and it credits
the Tuna with the poesemion of the same knowledge. Mr.
Gladstone's fate in the manufacturing county is itself is
pretty good guarantee that the liberals will not have to
mourn over the immensity of their victories. The Standard
has, indeed, " too good reason " to believe that the general
election will create a parliament determined to maintain
the Irish church, to need to indulge in the extravagant
expressions of confidence with which the liberals endea-
vour to keep up their own courage and that of their friends
who are not in the secret.

with having in her possession some valuable property,
irappored to belong to Sir Thomas Hankey, the banker.
Sergeant Kerley, 10 F, deposed that having received
information he went in company with police-constable
Hines to the house, 10, Charles-street, Drury-lane, where
he found the prisoner in the second floor back room. He
asked if she had anything in the room that did not belong
to her. She replied, "No, I have not" She said that
she occupied that room. He then looked under the bed
and discovered a leather bag containing a magnificent
patchwork quilt, two silk handkerchiefs, a pair
of gold spectacles, an open-glass, and other articles. He
saw the prisoner fumbling with something on her fingers,
and found she had on the gold ring produced, engraved
" Fitcham-park." In a cupboard be found a small box,
enamelled and inlaid with gold, with a view of Mont
Blanc upon it. Behind the door was a silk umbrella
hanging up. The prisoner on being asked where
she obtained these things replied that a gen-
tleman left them there who hail stayed with
her about a week ago. She stated that she had no
more property with her than that. Police-constable
Hines further searched the place and found a green

Wolter Ifixton, 38, Toc7olmaier,wa% charged with felo-
niously wounding Walter Henry Lyon with intent to do
him grievous bodily harm.
Mr. Daly prosecuted ; the prisoner was undefended.
It appeared that the prisoner had been committed to
take lire trial on the charge of wounding with intent to
murder, but the grand jury returned a true bill for the
minor offence of intending to commit grievous bodily
halm. Therosecutor was the son of a broker in Port-
land-road, hotting-hill, and he had been put in possession
of the prisoner's goods under a distress. An arrangement
was made to allow the prisoner time to pay, and he did pay
125., and was to give an I 0 U for the remainder, but when
the prosecutor called upon him and asked him to sign
the 1 0 IT, he refused to do so. The prosecutor then re-
mailed that he would know what to do, upon which the
prisoner took up a knife and stabbed him in the back,
inflicting a very serious injury. Immediately afterwards
he expressed great regret for what he had done and gave
himself up to a policeman.
The jury found him Guilty of unlawfully wounding, and
he was sentenced to nine months' hard labour.

MMES.
BIIHALILEY.

Two well-known thieves, Who gave the names of Jekii
Brows and Mumma Brow*, were brought up on remand
before Mr. Benson on a charge of being concerned with
others in breaking and entering the dwelling-house of
Mr. Lewis Lavinburg, pawnbroker and jeweller, of
Broad-street, Ratcliffe, and stealing therefrom watches,
gold range, gold ear-drops, and other property,
value _ _ _

Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, defended Thomas Brown.
The burglary was effected on the night of the 21st of
last month. An eatrance was obtained m the rear of the
premises, and shutters were removed, a window opened,
safes and drawers forced, and their contents abstracted.
Among other things, 86 watches, 160 gold rings, ear-
drops in great numbers, and other things, were stolen.
Folun-sergeant Hobert Smith, No. 47 IC, met the prisoners
and two others in Charles-street, St. George's-in-the-
East, early on the morning of Sunday, the 72nd of
November. They separated on seeing him, and one
of them exclaimed, " See, the tumbles" to us, mean-
iog be suspects us. They all fled in opposite directions.
Smith pursued John Brown through several streets, and
after a long chase he was tripped up by Frederick Stevens,
l'olioe-comtable No. 84 H, and a portion of the stolen
property was found on him. Smith and Stevens after-
wards found five watches and some jewellery in the
streets along which John Brown had been running, and
the whole of the property was identified by Mr. Lavin-
burg.
An alibi was set up for Thomas Brown, and Mr. Charles
Young, who made an able defence, called several witnesses,
who swore that the prisoner was at home and in bed the
whole of the night of the 22nd.
Sergeant Smith, an old and experienced oMcer, said be
was quite sure that 'Fhismas Brown was one of the four
men he met in Charles-street, on the morning of the 22nd
of November. He was close to him and knew him well.
Former convictions for burglary and robbery were
proved against both prisoners by James Briden, a detec-
tive, 4 K, and John Stimpson, police sergeant, No. 21 K.
The real name of the prisoner Thomas Brown, was
James Hattam, and in that name he had been
convicted. There were three convictions against
Hatton sad he was convicted at the Central Criminal
Court in May, 1868 when a former conviction was proved
against him. He was then sentenced to 18 months' im-
prisonment and hard labour. On the 214 of August,
1866, the prisoner pleaded guilty to a charge of felony in
that cour and was sentenced to imprisonment and hard
labour for six months. Numerous convictions against
John Brown were then made out.
Mr. Benson committed both prisoners for trial.

THE AUSTRIAN REICHSRATII.
VIENNA, Duo. 14, EVILVING.
In to-day's sitting of the lower house of the
Rekherath the Minister of Finance submitted bills
authorising the levy of the taxes on the system
formerly in force until the end of March, and the
introduction of a tax upon buildings. He also
laid upon the table the financial law for 1869, and
a bill for an additional credit, demanded by the
Minister of War, to the amount of 73,000
florins. In his financial statement ho said
that, as far as he could now judge, the
expenditure for 1868 would be somewhat
less, and the revenue somewhat inure than had
been anticipated. In the first throe-quarters of
the year the receipts had been nearly 9,000,000
florins above, and the expenditure 10,000,000
below, the estimates. Should the returns for the
last quarter give a similar result there would be at
the end of the year 1868 a surplus of 10,000,000
florins. Taking this surplus into account, and
presuming that the proposed extraordinary sources
of revenue should be approved by the Reie.harath,
and that the increase in the taxation
should continue, the estimated deficit of 1869
would only be 3,300,000 florins. Herr Grocholski
asked the Minister of Finance a question relative
to the salt mines of Wieliczkas. The Minister of
Finance replied that all necessary measures had
been taken, and that no apprehensions had been
entertained as to the safety of the mines. The
report that the shaft called the " Francis Joseph"
had given way was incorrect.
The financial law of 1869 was referred to a com-
mittee of 29 members.

11Ik IMPROVED REVOLUTIONARY RI ono: IN SPAIN.

The Daily IVeICB observes, that in all the revolutions,
insurrections, and pronouncements which have made up
Spanish history during the lust 30 year*, the victorious
general on either side hoe seldom shrunk from shooting his
defeated rivals in batches, and fusillading his captured
prisoners in platoons. Serrano, Prim, Topete, and their
colleagues, have now set a different example, and have
restored order and the authority of the law without that
everlasting French prescription of grape-shot. The man-
ner in which the insurrection at Cadiz has been arrested
seems to show a vitality and a stability in the revolution
which its adversaries had probably not suspected.
The Peat says the chief event worthy of notice con.
uected with this outbreak is the proposal made by the
Duke of Montpensier to place his sword at the service of
the Previa' intuit Government. The secret of the matter,
no doubt, is that he desired to identity himself with those
who just now lillthe office of king-makers; and no one
can blame him for a well-intentioned but ill-advised
attempt to push his own fortunes.

In the opinion of the 71,kgroph this occurrence ought to
imprimis upon the Provisional Government the necessity for
an early and frank declaration of its programme. It seems
to be admitted on all sides that Prim and his colleagues
are determined to establish a constitutional monarchy in
the Peninsula, and on the whole, the Telegraph is in-
clined to believe that they are right in this resolve.
