Gun LONDON STREETs.

NovasillEll is come, and the nights are growing
darker and longer. It is the harvest season of
thieves and housebreakers, and their chief harvest-
field is this great unprotected metropolis. To be
sure we have 8,000 policemen to guard us by night
and day—strong men, we believe, tall men cer-
tainly, but nun who for some inscrutable reason
are rarely at hand in the moment of peril,
and whose time just now is consider-
ably occupied in looking after small boys,
appropriating children's hoops, and cap-
turing unniuzzled dogs. The police have one
vocation, street robbers another; and it often
happens that the two can be pursued without col-
lision. The thief knows how to avoid the police-
man, and the policeman does not always know
how to capture the thief. Indeed, with every wish
to believe in the efficiency of the force, it must be
owned that under the present regime, the guar-
dians of life and property are scarcely a match for
the rascals who leave us within an inch
of the one in order to take the other. The problem
then to be solved by Londoners this winter is how
to walk at night, not through lonely streets, or
Barrow courts, but along broad thoroughfares,
without the risk of violence mil robbery. There
are misty streets in Loudon in which no man
however Lritve would willingly venture at night-

MR. MOTLEY ON AMERICAN FINANCE.

MR. J. LoTunor MOTLEY, the distinguished
American historian, has recently delivered a mas-
terly address to his countrymen on the great issues
they are now called upon to decide. As an expo-
sition of what may be called the American system
of government, nothing could bo more comprehen-
sive and lucid. In addition to pointing out the
difference between the Republic of America and
the Republics of ancient and modern times, and
proving how entirely the destiny of that Republic
was bound up with the policy of the party whereof
Mr. MOTLEY is a trusty and brilliant member, and
to which General Gamer will owe his election to
the Presidency, he put in clearer terms than any
other public man has yet done how impossible it
is that the American people should repudiate the
debt tby paying their creditors in green-
backs. Ms method of arguing the ques-
tion is as original as it is telling. What,
he asked, was a " Five-Twenty bond " It was a
stipulation to pay flys hundred or a thousand dol-
lars not sooner or later than given dates. What
is a dollar i According to the dictionaries it is
" a silver coin," that of the United States being
equal to 100 cents, or 48. 2d. sterling, sterling
shillings meaning genuine shillings. He found
also that a coin means " a piece of metal bearing
" a legal stamp, and made current as money."
" Now, if language be not invented to conceal
" thoughts, the United States Government, when
" it sold these bonds, promised to pay the holder,
" in five or twenty years, one thousand or five
" hundred pieces of stamped metal, gold or silver,
" each of them being equal to four genuine shil-
" lings and two pence. I bog pardon for being
" tedious, Lut it is hard to prove an axiom.
" Insteed, of these pieces of metal it now appears
" from the New York platform that Government
" has the right to force upon the holder, within
" five years from date of its obligation, a new
" promise to pay such coins at an indefinite
" period, without interest." This is unanswer-
able. Fortunately, there seems no likelihood now
of any party in America being disposed to act as
Mr. MOTLYY depurates. Nevertheless, it is grati-
fying to find so eminent a man in the world of
letters proving himself so sound on questions of
finance, and ready to step to the front whenever
the interests of his country demand his aid. The
Republican party is to be congratulated on num-
bering in its ranks not only the greatest American
general, but also those who, in intellectual capa-
city and literary achievements, have few equals on
either side of the Atlantic.

NURSES FOR THE SICK POUR.

Goon nursing is the first requisite for the sick.
With it, recovery may be hoped for when
circumstances seem most unfavourable; without
it the highest professional skill loses half its
efficiency. The horrors brought to light by
the Workhouse Infirmary Association gained their
deepest intensity from the barbarities practised by
ignorant and cruel nurses; and those most con-
versant with the home sufferings of the sick poor
unite in saying that the terrible lack of trained
nurses is the worst evil against which they have to
contend. It is interesting to know that efforts are
being made in various parts of England to meet
this difficulty, and that training establi*hmenta
for nurses Lave been set up in places in
which nursing as a profeetion has only
been heard of within the last few years.
But, as Dr. SIEVEKIRO has recently shown, the
matter has not yet met with the public attention
its importance demands. Thu dense ignorance
which prevailed on the subject of nursing up to
the time of Mix" NIONTINOALIieII noble efforts in
the Crimea has been only partially dispelled.
The happy-go-lucky belief that a general kindli-
ness of disposition is the chief thing necessary in
a sick room, and that if Mrs. Clamp is only ex-
cluded all will go well, is nut yet extinct. So far
back as 1866 a deputation which included Lord
SHAFTEBBVIVir and Lord STANLICY in its 1110111bPri,
urged upon the Poor Law Board the propriety of
regarding trained Dunce as a portion of the system
of out-door relief ; maintaining that as a preven-
tive as well as a remedial measure this would
cause a substantial decrease in the poor-rates. All
poor-law reformers are agreed that whenever there
is 'wiper sickness good nursing is the most eco-
nomic as well as the most humane course to be
pursued. Nothing is so expensive as sickness :
and what is really wanted is a moans of enabling
the parochial medical officer to ensure proper
nursing for such of his pauper-patients as abso-
lutely require it. At present this is impossible•
if for no other reason, from the dearth of
qualified nurses in the kingdom. But, besides
this, the official mind is not yet impressed with
the urgent nature of the want. The assoeintionv
for training nurses and fur sending then, to the
Leanc•s of the poor have been hitherto of a priv.sti.
and Iles mosynary character. It is for the poor-13w
retinue= of the future to nolo nurhiug nn eeat-
liel of their wheats; and to so 11,41141

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Mr. Williams, proprietor of the Caf4 de l'Europe, Hay-
market, was summoned before Mr. d'Eyncourt for keep-
ing his house open after 12 o'clock on Saturday night.
Mr. Montagu Williams appeared for the defendant.
Superintendent Ecclcs,, X division, said at 21 minutes
to 1 o'clock on Sunday, the 25th October, he went to the
Cafi de l'Europe, which is next door to the Haymarket,
and there he found 22 gentlemen and a number of women
taking refreshment. There were champagne bottle. on
the table and suppers. All the persons there were taking
refreshment.

Mr. d'Eynconrt—Were the women ladie-

that whenever they had applied for refreshments after

witnesses included Mr. Charles Wright, treasurer at the
Haymarket ; Mr. Kendall, comedian at the same theatre

LIBERAL 80 4SIA.

The Daily News gives an interesting account of a state-
ment on behalf of " Liberal Russia," which has been
made by the celebrated Russian exile M. Herren,
in his journal the Bell. Only the most igno-
rant prejudioe, rye the Daily Aries, can doubt the c►pa-
bilities of the Russian people or the good intentions of
their present ruler. The government of Alexander 11. has
already abolished serfage, reorganised the magistracy and
judicature throughout the Empire, favoured the principles
of administrative decentralisation and provincial self-
government, permitted some sort of discussion in the
pries, and fostered the growth of a superior instruction
in the university. Many of theme ameliorations have per-
haps been undertaken in a tentative and hesitating spirit,
but they unquestionably mark an epoch of propose. Com-
pared with the Buasia of twenty years ago, the empire of
Alexander 11. may almost be called a " Liberal Russia."
But the Russia of 1868 is very far from being the Russia
of M. Herzen's aspirations, or his Bell could not be the
sox clowienlis in desert°. The Daily News is ready to believe
with him in the expanding future of a people which, having
secured the land to live by, may perhaps in time to come
redress the balance of those abortive democracies of
Waiters Europe with which the French Revolution has
disturbed and disappointed the hopes of mankind.

THE FENIAN TRIALS IN DUBLIN.

DUBLIN, WEDNEsDAT NIGHT.

Patrick Lennon was put on his trial to-day for
shooting at Sergeant Kelly. The sergeant posi-
tively identified him as the person who fired the
shot, as did also two women. In a declaration
made by Kelly when in the hospital he stated that
he would not know the man again, and his descrip-
tion of him differed in several particulars from the
account he now gives. Mr. Purnell addressed the
jury for the prisoner, and some witnesses were
examined before the court adjourned.

ARCHDEACON DENISON'S EDUCATION MEETING.

The Times regards the movement commenced by Arch-
deacon Denison, as an attempt to resuscitate put illusions
in order get a subsidy in the way which will give him
the least trouble, and leave him free from all interference,
The proposal to surrender the education of the people to the
church and the sects, the legislature being their very
humble servant, is one of the most wonderful ever
seriously made. Under his plan we should place it abeo-
lately at the mercy of the clergyman or the managers of a
dissenting school whether children shall be admitted. The
Conscience Clause is simply a moderate provision for
avoiding Shim hardship, and for insuring elementary
teaching to all children of whatever denomination. It is
opposition to that alone which is at the bottom of yester-
day's meeting. But the country has in principle passed
beyond that question years ago.
The Standard allows that yesterday's meeting was not at.
tended by none who are recognised as among the respon-
sible and influential representatives of their party ; still
there is much that deserves attentive consideration in their
plans. The scheme of the Mancheaterparty is simpler, more
in accordance with the popular notions of the age, and
probably cheaper than the other ; while, on its side, the
plan of Archdeacon Denison and his friends is more con-
sistent with the strong religious feeling of the
English people, and with the maintenance in
perpetuity of the chief advantages of the existing
system. But the weak point of the archdeacon's case
is that it provides nothing for those districts where deno-
minational zeal has failed to provide machinery, or to meet
the case of those children of dissenters who, in a parish
where only a Church school is, on the denominational
system, practicable or desirable, refuse the teaching of the
Church. The scheme of the secular party has at least the
merit of being possible, and their opponents, if they wish
Ifor success should lose no time in supplying a plan by which
these difficulties may be overcome.

KEILV LA,

After the accusations brought against
Karispocrgevitels concerning the assassination le.
Belgrade, an account of the manner in whi••h the
news of the evo nt was received by him is of in-
tereist. According to the Mrre.tneurinHee
of Vienna the old Prince exclaimed. with tears in
his eyes -" fiervia, my dear country, what trials
have you yet to pees through !'• The effect pro-
duced on the Prince of Montenegro by the crinin
also appears to have been immense. According to
the Debaffe of Vienna, the Sovereign of the Blank
Mountain, on being informed of the murder, on-
mediately left his rosidenee at Cettigur and shut
himself up in the castle inhabited by his mother•
thinking he was there alone in safety from the• re-
volvers of the assassins.
A letter from Vienna, in the North I.:osier', C.f.-
rrsrvvdenre, says:
I Lave reason to believe that nu has just mule over-
tures at Vienna, Paris, and London, atte ding the d tire
of the St. Petersburg Cabinet to participste iu the undar-
ntanding between the three powera concerning event.; ani
eventualities in Servia. A personage of great importance
arrived in Vienna yesterday• namely, Mischa, the richest
man in all Servia, who could buy up the whale princi-
pality with his gold, and who has been long thought to
expire to the dignity of prince. In the meantime he his
built, at Belgrade, a magnificent palace, which he has
prevented to his country, and which is now the Academy.
He boa no NMI, but one of his daughters is married to the
president of the Senate, Marinovitch; the other, to Pierre
Karageorgevitch, accused, rightly or wrongly, of at least
complicity in the eesssieslion of Prince Michael. Can he
be come hero to plead the cause of the Karageorgevitchex
Possibly so.

The only goad the 71 ran live frain
need sisg of yesterday w that it may elseei the attanyt t s
hold any mute of a similar character. Nu &relit. it war
Incited. flare wax a plentiful supply of parses on b nth
'idea inesif able of understanding the merit,, of the ques-
tion at is.sie. and consistently divinclinel to listen t r any
arguments from any person who was oppienl 0 thy coa-
ch:mime they were employed to support. Neither !Meryl
nor tray hes the better of the eemparisen. It is evideat
that sandier party can affunl to threw dirt at the era sr.
'I lie noise and uproar, says the Daily New, is, after all,
only a spurt, m. The Irish establishment is the creature
of violence, end in it,, dying struggle the trams of its
part ntage risme out. In the reason and conscience of this
nation, judgment bassos(' against it, and its defeat are re-
sort to the last hope of a dincredited party and a failing
12141,c that of staving off the inevitable verdict by raising
every false issue that ingenuity can conceive, and putting
every conceivable obtacle in the way of justice. All
over England the misting's held on this subject are either
limited to supporters of the establishment, like the one at
the Cannon-street Hotel, or are assailed and disturbed by
the noisy ruffianism of the district, organised to prevent
any expression of opinion.
The lifer seproaches the liberal organisers of London for
having been thus surprised. There has been blundering
remewheie; end these are not times when blunders ought
to be tolerated by the chiefs of the party either in the City
or elsewhere. The members of parliament for London,
and the other distinguished liberals who appeared upon
the platform, owe it to themselves and their cause to hold
another meeting at once, and to take proper stops to en-
sure order. If they do not, the same cowardly tactics will
be followed by the terries at the election, and it is better to
stamp them out at once.
The Telegraph would have the liberals throughout the
country understand that the result of yesterday's meeting
is in no sense a defeat of their party or an injury to their
enure. It simply arose from the fact that one side is con-
fident and fearless, the other desperate and unscrupulous.
Had the liberals followed the example of their opponents,
and packed a meeting of their sworn adherents, there
would havelbeen no risk of the fiasco of yesterday.

TILE MAW LAW 001:11M.

The award of the judges in the matter of the now law
courta was, says the Times, that Mr. Street's outside wai
the best, and Mr. Barry's inside. Mr. Barry's courts were
the beat, but Mr. Street had put the best face on his. This
was the very ordinary case of a man having to choose be-
tween two sisters, the one nenaible and good, the other
pretty and perhaps witty. Most men prefer the latter,
and that, it appears, is just what government has done.
In so doing we are quite sure they will receive the sym-
pathy of nine-tenths of the British public, excluding, vf
course, lawyers, frequent witnesses, and habitual liti-
gants.

" opus add little to the pirticulars given in the
Strand Faliticn of yesterday's Repress. A
ft w mere gentlemen went through pantomimic

dentially to the reporters; but the le ding
incident of the day's riot W :t4 the personal
scuffle we described last evening as taking
place between the dignitaries on the platform,
and the criticism it evoked from the mob.
That a well known Couservativa• Alderman
should, while panting anti bn•athless, be cheered
fur his pluck, and be jocularly bidden to
bind himself over to keep the pears.; that gentle-
men hitherto believed to be of ultra-pacific ten-
dencies should follow the navies, of the Game
Chicken to Mr. Tools, and administer "stiff
'one" under waistcoats by way of constituting
01(.11180 VIM the physical champions of u great
principle; and that neither the LORD MAYOR nor
his friends, nor the people of opposite opinions
were ismiitted to speak, ore incidents making
rather a bitter commentary upon our remarks of
last Saturday. We then declared the dignity
of the City to be involved in the conduct
of this meeting ; and we now maintain
that dignity to have been remorselessly dragged
in the dirt. Our outspoken protests against
" lacking the meeting " were unfortunately dis-
regarded, and the result is the miserable fiasco
I ecorded to-day. When newspaper correspon-
dents are able to give " half-a-crown and
" a pint of beer" as the exact price paid to each
unofficial disturber of the peace ; and can describe
the altercation between the hirers and the hirelings
as sexy in the public streets and taverns near
Guildhall after the money was earned, " the

"Church" reaches depths of degradation men
of all opinions must wish it to have escaped.
