FRIDAY, -OCTOBER 7, .1559

THE DAY'S NEWS

The correspondence between Lord Malpaesbury
and Lord John:l4incll,- as 'successive .Foreign
Secretaries, and the Hon. F. IY.
Bruce, our`Pleni-
potentiary'inching,filong with the correspond-
ence with Mr. -Bruce and Rear Admiral Hope, on
the subject of the 'treaty with that Power; and.
involving also, of necessity, the .recent affair of
the Peiho, has been published in the
.(A'arette. Its
length, however, precludes us from doing more
than describe its object in the paragraph, which
will be .found'elseWhere.

The name of Mr. Smith O'Brien is now to be
added. .to. the asSailants of Lord Derby, for his
recent wholesome- exercise of duty as a landed
proprietor in Ireland, by directing the removal of
a foul,stigma which attaches to- his estates ther4l7---
his.tenantry hating beconie the screeners.nf, if
not the participators in, assassination. It is only
necessary -remember the antecedents Of. this
Irish worthy, to be satisfied that the censure of
such a character can -only enhance the claini
Which Lord Derby has to the respect of every
friend of Order and virtue.

We give some particulars of what we were
only able verk' briefly to indicate yesterday,.
respecting ,the .disposal of, the, charge. against a
somewhat fanatical individual, of participating
in the recent riots at St. ,George's-in-the-East.
The accused was given up, it would seem, a
sort of peace offering, We only hope that .so
Well-intentioned a disposal- of the charge -may
have the desired effect. The magistrate gay?
both parties some excellent advice; and, if it is
only followed, there is every hope that peace
may at length be restored to that long-distracted
parish.
At the weekly meeting of the Health Committee
yesterday, Dr. Duncan, the medical -ofKeer, re=
ported very favourably as to the general -health
of the town, the report being based on. the
comparatively low rate of mortality. This
gratifying result he attributed mainly to the
valuable sanitary. works which have been carried
out in the town, and in,some degree also to the
favourable atmospheric conditions which have of
late prevailed.
At the monthly meeting of the Licensed
Victuallers' Association, held yesterday, the pro-
ceedings of which will be found reported in
another column, it was resolved to send a
deputation to the Water Committee to ascertain
what was intended by ilia committee, in reo.ard

ander the influence of which not onliELVe the

the C_o:

en carefully

of the city, provoked beyond endurance, rises up
in its might, and enforces a better order of pro-
ceeding. This. was the case some three '
years
ago, when the venality of the Mayoralty had
-be-conie intolerable. By a convulsive effort, a
re-election was I:ldeated, which would have
been at once a disadvantage and a disgrace
to them all. Such an effort, however, could only
succeed in resisting successfully the influences of
-an overbearing, unscrupulous democracy, under
;some extraordinary pressure. It is only by the
force of some strong excitement that it can ever
be
.made available. Ordinarily, men of high
character and real respectability remain passive'
and allow themselves to be rode rough-shod over'
as it were,—as would in all probability be the
ease among ourselves, did Radicalism once suc-
ceed in gaining the ascendant in our Municipal
Government.

We 'point to 'such a case as this, then, as a
warning to our fellow-townsmen. So long as
there is a Conservative majority in our Town
Council, so long, we may be sure, will our Muni-
cipal affairs be rightly and respectably dealt
with,=the Town Council maintained in its legi-
timatn functions,—and its efforts directed to' the
public good. The experience of the last few
years has clearly established this fact We would
not undervalue the importance of a strong
Liberal Opposition in the Council. The ma-
jority of any public body is all the better
for being kept in check ; and we should be. sorry
to find even the COnservatives in our Town
Couucil left to have entirely

their own way,
