they only mentioned the sums expended. Some influential
person, it appears, was so anxious that his identity should
not be discovered, that when the employ 6 who signed the
orders wished to put down his amount, he used to breathe
on a piece of glass and trace the figures on that, so that
they might be immediately afterwards effaced. The sums
given in this manner are said to have been incalculable.

HUSH INTIMIDATION.

That the intimidation complained of in Ireland is
not altogether a myth is shewn by a remarkable
case in the Dublin Court of Exchequer. It was an
action for ejectment., and the counsel for the plaintiff
applied that service upon the defendant should be sub-
stituted by sending a copy through the Post Office and
advertising it in a local journal. He stated as a rea-
son for making the application that a bailiff could
not be found in the county where the land is situate
to serve the writ—although large remuneration had
boon offered—owing to the state of feeling
which exists. The landlord In this case can
gat neither rent nor land, and ho cannot
induce anybody to serve a writ. The refractory
tenant has two farms, and the landlord wants only
one, in which the occupier has no interest. The
owner has in vain offered £2OO for quiet possession.
Lastly, all names in connection with the action are
suppressed in the reports, lest some persons who
have received threatemngletters be exposed to greater
danger. What next ?

A WORD FOR IRISH LANDLORDS.
An Irish priest writes to the Daily Express, de-
claring that whilst some landlords darken the country
with their misdeeds, it is very wrong to refuse to
recognise many bright examples of landlords
under whom the tenants are peaceful and happy
in the extreme, and who scorn to take advantage of
in@tances Mr. Richard P9cles

ABERDEEN UNIVERSITY.

Sir William Stirling Maxwell has declined the
Rectorship of Aberdeen University. The polling
being equally divided between Sir William
and Mr. Grant Duff, Under - Secretary for
India, the decision rested with the Dike
of Richmond, Chancellor of the University, who
bestowed the post upon the first. But though each
candidate polled an equal number of "nations," the
majority of students were in favour of Mr. Grant
Duff, and therefore Sir William Stirling Maxwell
declines to become the Rector.

A BREWER ON BEER.

Now that a brewer in Liverpool bas taken up
with much spirit the question of how many luna-
tics are Emit to the asylum by medical officers
of workhouses through the effects of drink, we shall
probably get a clue as to whether it is w;t-lz.
the brewer or the publican that the adulteration
of liquor takes places. A gentleman of high posi-
tion has analysed gratuitously samples of beer and
wine sold at various low public houses in Liverpool, and
he says if the beer is bad the wine is even worse. What
Mr. Glover holds is this, and ho has doubtless
been roused to indignation by the remarks made at
temperance meetings with regard to adulteration
by the brewers, to which fraternity he belongs—he
holds that it is not drinking beer that is the cause of
the present fearful state of things, but drinking bad
beer, which badness, he says, is attributable to dis-
honest publicans, who put such ingredients in it 9.9
nux vomica and oil of vitriol. Mr. Glover, who
expressed these sentiments at a meeting of guardians,
insists " that the health committee ought to under-
take the duty of prosecuting the sellers of adulte-
rated liquor, just as they do the vendors of bad meat
or fish."

THAMES.

A GENTLEMAN IN A DIFFICULTY. Richard
Saunders, a well-dressed person, and described as a
gentleman, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged
with being drunk and disorderly in Nelson-street,
Stepney. The case had been adjourned from Fri-
day morning owing to the prisoner having contra-
dicted the statement in part of James Tavis, 262
K, who took him into custody, and said the pri-
soner was drunk and gave him much trouble. In-
spector Turner, a humane and intelligent officer of
the'K divisioh, now attended by request of the
magistrate, and he said that Mr. Saunders was
brought to the station at a quarter before two
o'clock on Friday morning, and he was then intoxi-
cated. The constable said that he saw the pri-
soner turned out of a beer-shop in Nelson-street,
at half-past one o'clock, and that he fell down the
steps. The constable thought it strange that a
gentleman should be turned out of a house at that
time in the morning, and as the neighbourhood
was one in which infamous houses, where people
were robbed and abounded he
went to the assistance of the prisoner, who became
very abusive. A number of thieves and prostitutes
gathered round the prisoner, and the constable,
finding the prisoner was drunk, and in danger,
arrested him. Mr. Saunders took umbrage at that
and noisy and violent. He was sure Mr.
Saunders
wasveryw
was drunk, for he staggered from one
end of the charge room to the other. He knew the
prisoner to have been a respectable tradesman, in
the Commercial-road, and he allowed him to sit
down in an adjoining room for half an hour. Mr
Saunders then appeared better, and, as there was a
Limber'sgentlem bail,annnnaend K ber with
the d
prisoner
In he took Mr.
In answer to Mr. Paget,
releasedim

The Inspector said the prisoner did not complain
the constable assaulted him, but the constable said
Mr. Saunders put his hand on his (the policeman's)
shoulder to take his number. The police constable
was sober.

The Prisoner--I NES not :n the beer-shop at all.
Mr. Paget was not sorry he had adjourned the
case for the attendance of the Inspector, whose evi-
dence completely verified the s.a:ement of the con-
stable. There was no doubt the prisoner would
have been robbed, and perhaps illused in such an
abominable place as Nelson street if the police-
constable had not interfered, and he was turned out
of a beerhouse at half-past one o'clock in the morn-
ing. The constable had acted perfectly right, and
had not assaulted the prisoner as alleged, but pro-
tected him from robbery and violence. The judi-
cious conduct of Inspector Turner was very com-
mendable. lie fined the prisoner 20s. for being
drunk and disorderly, which was immediately paid.

EMIGRATION TO CANADA.

Mr. Rae, in a letter on emigration to Canada,
points out that the unsettled lands of that colony
are all, or nearly all, covered with a dense forest, the
greater part of which when cut down is
of little or no marketable value. This to an unused
hand is very heavy work. It would take a poor
man probably a lifetime to clear a hundred acres.
But in the west of the United States the whole
country is prairie lands, with the exception of a few
clumps of timber sufficient for log house, fencing,
and fuel. Having enumerated other advantages which.
the Western States have over the unsettled
lands of Canada, Mr. Rae says he cannot see how her
interests are to be served by withholding the
truth, or by unjustly blaming the Press for not
blowing a trumpet in praise of Canada lands,
Canada taxes, cheerful belles, and pretty sleighs.
It is but little of the latter-named two "articles "
that the poorer emigrant sees or rides in for many a
year after settlement in the backwoods, for his
" merry winter " must be spent, if he wishes to pros-
per, in constant toil, felling timber from morning to
night for something like six days in the week. In
the cities, towns, and old forts of Canada " cheerful
belles and pretty sleighs," he acids, aro abundant
enough, and winter is, indeed, a merry time.

BEAM BY WE GUILLOTINE.

It is no new thing for sensational theories to be
advanced, on very slight grounds, respecting the
duration of life after decapitation; but a certain
Dr. Pinel has just been talking some unusually mis-
chievous nonsense on the subject. According to this
authority, the body dies quietly and painlessly,
from bmmorrhage, in the course of a few minutes ;
but the brain, being shielded from atmospheric
pressure, retains its blood, and consequently its
life, for a long period. The sources of common
sensatioa are indeed cut away ; but the nerves of
hearing, sight, and smell remain, and the whole ap-
paratus of consciousness and intellect is present.
We must really decline to quote the studiedly
melodramatic language in which Dr. Pinel paints
the horrors of a situation which, according to him,
may last as long as three hours. But inasmuch as
the poor wretch Tropmaun has suffered de-
capitation, we feel it a duty to prevent kind-
hearted persons from having their feelings har-
rowed by the idea that the criminal underwent
such ghastly tortures, since a single consideration
will suffice to expose ' the fallacy of all Dr.
Pinel's speculations. It is true enough that the
brain does retain a large quantity of blood after
decapitation ; but it is equally certain that that
blood rapidly
becomes venous from lack tf oxygen ;
and experimentation hc.s amply proved that, in
complete asphy
lished in one xis, usc
itinucoteainoudstESS alhails entirely
f,andis,ahoo-f
course, bang pro,,ere,sively lowered during the
whole of that time. But, considering what
a tremendous physic.d shock is inflicted
by decapitation,
it is nearly certain that
all nervous function must be paralysed too com-
pletely to allow of any phenomena of consciousness
taking place during the short period necessary for
the perfect deoxydisation of the blood in the brain,
after which mental action can never be resumed.
At most the suffering after decapitation can only
be an affair of moments ; and it is something Worse
than indiscretion to talk of the possibility of its
lasting for hours.-7 he Lancet.

A " hard living " exists in Kent. The fey. J.
Hall is the incumbent of Knockholt, near Sevenoaks.
For 15 years he has held the living, and preached the
doctrines of the Church of England. For his work,
according to the Maidstone Journal, ho has had the
magnificent endowment of £29 15s per annum.
Much capital was made during the Irish
Church controversy out of the bad salaries
given in some cases, under the voluntary
system to Dissenting Ministers. Nonconformists

PARIS, Jan. 22.

A telegram from Creuzot announces that 3,500
troops had arrived there, and that a certain num-
ber of the workmen had already resumed work. A
placard has been published, signed by M. Schneider,
which states that work would be resumed to-mor-
row in all the workshops, and invites workmen to
come. It announces that sufficient force is at hand
to protect the freedom of labour if necessary.
A proclamation of the delegates of the workmen
at Creuzot, and signed by M. Assy, was also pla-
carded last night, in which they declared their in-
tention of continuing the strike, but urged the
men to observe the greatest tranquillity and mode-
ration.

Last evening a private meeting was to have been
held at the house of M. Assy, but a number of per-
sous who dissented from the course proposed desired
that upon certain conditions work should be re-
sumed.

The Figaro says that M. Assy had received 2,000
francs from Paris.

The Procurer Imperial had arrived, but up to
present time no arrests had been made.
The Gaulois says that the irrcconceivable jour-
nals having been distributed at Creuzot by incen-
diary agents, the Marseillaise has been seized, and
its distribution at Cruezot stopped.

The Figaro asserts that AI. Limbrecht will be
appointed Prefect du Nord.

EMBEZZLEMENT OF £l,OOO By A BANK CLERK

Richard Olden, a clerk connected with the Cork Branch
of the National Provincial Bank, has been arrested on
a charge of embezzling £1,017. In the mouth of June
last a gentleman in trade in Cork, named O'Sullivan,
lodged a cheque foe 5.1017 in the bank to be placed
to his credit. The second teller receiving tho docu-
ment passed it into the bank as having been
cashed, and nothing more was known of it until last week,
when Mr. O'Sullivan discovered his deposit was deficient
in that amount. After investigation, an inspector had an
interview with the clerk who was represented to have
received the cheque. It is said he admitted the defalca-
tion. Ho was then ordered to return to Cork, and on his
arrival was arrested. He was brought Were the magia-
Wig lull, committed for trial.

CONSERVATISM IN SOUTH-WEST LANCASHIRE.

Whilst addressing the Garston Working Men's
Conservative Association, Mr. R. A. Cross, M.P. for
South-West Lancashire, laid much stress upon the
delusive hopes which, in his opinion, the present
Government were raising in Ireland. Whilst no one
had the slightest notion of what the Government
measure would be, the Irish tenants and labourers were
counting upon the most extravagant concessions. Mr.
Cross knows one Irish servant who has left his occu-
pation in England, withdrawn his savings from the
bank, and gone over to Ireland in order "to get his
share of the land." "We have Mr. Bright's distinct
avowal that you could not expect the country to be
quiet so long as the land was in the hands of an alien
race of Protestants, and that until that condition
was destroyed you could not have peace."
And yet Mr. Cross has reason to believe
that the Government bill will be a very mild one, so
that the policy at first announced will, in reality, not
be carried out. The member for South-West Lanca-
shire is not satisfied with the working of the educa-
tional system, but he urges that it has already accom-
plished great things, and might be extended as fully
as is required. There is no need, he says, for the
League scheme.

MARLBOROUGH- S TREET.

DECEIVING THE MAGISTRATE.—John Copparj,
a cab proprietor and driver, attended before Mr.
Knox, to answer the complaint of theßoyal Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals for cruelly
flogging a horse.

The chief officer of the society watched the case.
Sir Henry Hoare, Bart., stated that on the Ist
inst. he saw a cab being (Woven up at a furious
rate up Hay-hill, the driver flogging the horse.
lie called to the driver, who flogged his horse and
galloped away, but he succeeded in getting the num-
ber of the cab (3,938), and then communicated
with the society.
When the case was first hefore Mr. Knox the
defendant said that his cab was not out that day,
it being at his coachmaker's under repair, and the
case was adjourned.

Young, an officer of the society, said that since
the last occasion he had seen the defendant, who
admitted that while his own cab was under
repair be borrowed one of the coachmaker, and he
saw an old cab in the yard, which appeared to have
been recently used.

Mr. Cherry, the Government veterinary surgeon,
proved seeing two horses at the defendant's yard in
a poor and weak condition, but as some days had
elapsed all marks had gone off them. He also saw
an old cab with the number 3,938 on it.

George Robinson, a coachinaker, was called by
the defendant, who said that while he was repairing
the defendant's cab he lent the defendant an old
one, and put the defendant's plate on it.
Mr. Knox said he could come to no other deci-
sion than that the defendant had been grossly de-
ceiving him, and the defendant's coachmaker had
proved the case against him. He would not, go so
far as to imprison the defendant (Coppard), but
in consequence of the defence he had set up he
should impose the highest penalty. The specific
act with which the defendant was charged was
having whipped his horse in a cruel manner, and
instead of 405., which would have been the fine ori-
ginally, it would be £5, and full costs, or a mouth.

TUE JEWS IN ROUMANIA

The Memorial Diplomatique says that the question of
the Jews in Roumania is not a religious one, but really a
national and economic one. The increase of the Hebrew
emigration into tho Principalities, and especially
in Moldavia, is assuming the proportions of a
real invasion, which threatens to absorb the
primitive element of the indigenous population before
long. Statistical details have shewn. that the population
of the Principality is two millions, and that there is one
Jew to five of the native population, while twenty years
ago the proportion was only one to twenty-seven. In no
country has the Jewish race ever held a similar relation
to the original inhabitants, or made such marked pro-
gress. Whether the Memas•ial considers this fact an
excuse for persecution does not appear.
THE AMERICAN OBITUARY FOR 1869.

The American papers, in recording the deaths of dis-
tinguished men last year, consider that the most
eminent names in the list are those of Stanton, Fessenden,
and Peabody. The Nation thinks that Mr. Stanton
died at the end of a stormy decade in which
he had had perfect opportunity for the exercise of his
peculiar powers, and when the country was entering on a
period for which ho was less fitted. Mr. Fessenden, on the
other hand, is lost to the nation at a time when his
services in the way of critical and careful organisation
would be most valuable. Mr. Peabody's name is as sure of
immortality as Howard's. Mr. Raymond, of the New
York Times, is another of the eminent men who have died
during 1869 ; and besides these, there are many whose
names are mentioned in the obituary, but who have out-
lived public interest. Of these were ex-President
Franklin Pierce, Admiral Stewart, General Wool,
lind statesmen like the Hon. Robert Walker,
secretary of the Treasury under President Palk; the Hon.
Isaac Toucey, Secretary of the Navy under President
Buchanan ; and the Hon. Amos Kendall, Postmaster-
General under President Jackson. Among the literary
losses of the year we must include the name of James
Harper, the well-known book publisher of New York.

operators were reduced in that city, as at Sac-
ramento. The strikers hold daily meetings in
the various cities, and declare their deter-
mination not to yield. The Western Union Telegraph
Company is transacting business at its main office with a
reduced force of operators not belonging to the Protective
League. The managers are confident that there will be no
interruption to the business, as the operators on strike
express their conviction that the company will be com-
pelled to consent to their demands. At St. Louis the
Strikers' League are of opinion that their association has
committed a great blunder.

THE EDUCATION MOVEMENT.

The League agitation is carried on with great
energy. Tho Nonconformists of Newport, in Mon-
mouthshire, have just• met and declared for free,
secular, unsectarian, and compulsory education. They
hold that the religious training now given in schools
is of small value, and that the spiritual education of
the young might safely be entrusted to the parent
and the Christian Church. They think it impossible
that rates can be levied for the support of sectarian
teaching. The Bolton Leaguers also met on Thurs-
day night, and " demonstrated " in favour of theit
programme.

THE BALLOT IN AMERICA.
The supporters of the ballot are making strenuous
exertions to provide themselves with unquestionable
arguments. America is, of course, the great field for
inquiry, and to it the questioning eye is turned. Mr.
John Stuart Mill's name is used to get answers to
queries. With his commendation a note has been
sent across the Atlantic requesting information. The
result of these researches are few ani simple. No
difference of opinion, we are told, exists in the minds
of United States politicians ; they all believe the
ballot a necessity. Men of all parties think it works
well. It is quick, correct, convenient. Intimidation
under it does not exist to any great extent ; and
bribers are baffled. Yet it does not suppress
all corruptly whatever. Much that is deplorable
still works in America. The most serious evils, how-
ever, lie not with the people, but the legislators; the
latteri not the former, can be intimidated and practi-
cally bribed ; and the legislators, be it noted. vote
openly, not by ballot.

TUE COMMAND IN INDIA.

A great deal of speculation is put an end to by the
announcement of the appointment of the Commander-
in-Chief of the Indian Army. Lord Napier of Mag-
dala is the happy successor to Sir William Mansfield.
Whether he enters on his duties at once or Sir
William is to be retained fbr a short time is not
stated.

DEBTORS IN PRISON.

Not long ago there were not fewer than five
debtors' prisons in the metropolis ; now there are
but two. Notwithstanding this palpable decay of
the nation, and decline in civilisation, there are
some persons so regardless of the honour of their
country as to propose that Whitecross-street Gaol
be abolished, and its few prisoners removed to a
special ward in the Holloway City Prison. It is
true that business is very slack at White-
cross-street. Since the Act " abolishing " im-
prisonment for debt was passed there has been a great
gaol delivery; and now but eight prisoners remain.
Nevertheless, the proposal which is to be brought
before the Court of Common Council is giving rise
to much discontent. Debtors, it is argued, are not
criminals. If they get into a criminal prison they
will infallibly come under discipline of a penal
character. There will be no tobacco. There will be
no beer. The genial turnkeys of the debtors' gaol
will give way to silent and rigid warders. It is all
very well to talk about a special ward, but bond fide
debtors, it is pleaded, ought not to be put in the
same building with thieves and beggars. For it must
be remembered that though tho Act of last year was
called an Act for Abolishing Imprisonment for
Debt, this title was one of those delusions with which
the Legislature now and then amuses itself. County
Court orders for commitments can still be made.

ROYALTY AND IRELAND.

It turns out a hoax after all—the Prince of Wales
has net arranged to visit Beltlist shortly,to inaugurate
the Prince Consort Memorial. The municipal autho-
rities fly at higher game; they hope to have
the Queen herself to do the honours on tho ccca-
sion. If her Majesty won't undertake the labour
—albeit, the local magnates, looking to her previous
exertions on similar occasions, believe that she will—
the Prince and the Princess of Wales will be invited.
If the Queen can be prevailed upon to cross St.
Georg-Xs Channel, we shall have to congratulate our-
selves and Ireland.

BRISTOL.

Whilst Mr. Robinson, and Mr. Hodgson are pre-
paring to settle, by a test ballot, their respective
claims to the Liberal candidature for Bristol, the
phantom Odger becomes more and more terrifying.
His supporters have held a meeting, and his
election agent, Mr. .Ackland, has etated
very precisely what Mr. Odger's intentions
are. They would doubtless, ho said, be
accused of dividing the Liberal party, but they did.
not care what they divided so that legally and consti-
tutionally they opened the doors of the Parliament
house to the representatives of labour. Mr<
Odger had been tricked at Stafford and
Southwark by the ballot test; but ho would
not be tricked again. The long contest
in Southwark may hare lessened public interest in
the working man problem; but this determined spirit
is very significant, and not at all promising "m the
Liberal party.

CHRIST'S HOSPITAL.

It is, we understand, in contemplation by the
authorities of this institution to carry out a project
formed principally by the Treasurer, whereby its
advantages may be set within the reach of a much
larger number of persons than at present. A part
of the scheme is, we believe, to sell a plot of the
Hospital lands, and to erect a day school for 500
boys of the middle class, and also to found a s!rui-
lar establishment for about the same number in. a
different part of Loudon. The boarding school
which now exists at the hospital is to be removed
into the country, and many improvements therein
made. A school for girls is also talked of, as is
likewise a system of competitive examinadon,
by which the boys in the so-called middle class, or
new schools, may be advanced at intervals into the
old boarding school. The rights of donation go-
vernors will also, it is said, be revised; so that none
of them can have more than one nominee in the
institution at a time, or have even a presentation
more often than once in a fixed number of years.
The scheme has been for some time before the
governing body of the Hospital and the Court of
Aldermen, the members of which are governors by
charter; and the President (the Duke of Cambridge)
is understood to approve of it. Some opposition is
believed to exist among the persons hitherto con-
sulted, and the plan before adoption must be sanc-
tioned by the Court of Airnoners.

THE MINT.

Official reports, signed " C. W. Freemantle and C.
Rivers Wilson," have been published which review
the administration of the Mint as it has been con-
ducted during the last eighteen years. The chiet
point of interest refers to the system of
coining. The report states that a system
of Government manufacture produces the best
and most accurate coins. In addition to this it con-
ducts the coinage as a matter of national im-
portance, without other motive than to attain
the . greatest accuracy and perfection com-
bined with economy. Under the contract system,
opportunities, it is considered, are afforded to
the contractor of dealing with the coinage in a pecu-
liar way for commercial purposes, and for his indi-
vidual profit. The report recommends that for the
future, should any offer be made to the Mint to under-
take a coinage for a foreign government, the Master
of the Mint should report the circumstance to the
Treasury, and be empowered to make the necessary
arrangements for erecting the works.

.TIIE WICKLOW PEERAGE.
Mrs. Howard has been released from the custody
of the Usher of the Black Rod, to whose terrible
charge sho was committed by the Lord Chancellor.
It is not often that a commitment is made from
the Woolsack, and when it does happen the
prisoner is vcry well treated, though the fees
• lv:iich have to be paid for the honour aro rather high.
In fact, it will be well for no poor person to come in
hostile contact with the Woolsack. In Mrs. Howard's
case the money was forthcoming, and the lady is now
at liberty.

PARLIAMENTARY BLACK MAIL.

Lord George Hamilton, M.P. for Middlesex, has
prosecuted two men for fraudulently obtaining a
guinea from him. They had presented a paper to
his lordship, in which a number of persons were
represented as having subscribed towards the hold-
ing of a regatta at Tottenham, and ou the faith of
this Lord George gave them a guinea as his con-
tribution. Amongst the names was that of Lord
Enfield, the other member for Middlesex, and this
explains the unhesitating gift of the money: In
every constituency it is customary to levy a series of
heavy fines upon members of Parliament in the shape
of contributions to local institutions of all kinds.
Not merely every soup kitchen and similar benevolent
projects, but every cricket club and regatta claims
its contribution. The levies are made as
inexorably as New Year's gifts in Paris. What the
working man M.P.—when we get have to
say to this custom remains to be seen.

GOLD IN AMERICA.

The fall in the price of gold at New York still
continues. On Tuesday it got down from 112% to 1001
tholowest point reached since the commencement
of the war. The weakness still continues, but it is
thought that it will not go below 110. A telegram
to the Pall Mall Gazette says that a resolution has
been proposed in the Senate that the Secretary of
the Treasury should be instructed to sell all the
surplus gold. It was not carried; but the excite-
ment caused by this approximation het,,veen the
values of gold and paper money is scart!oly inferior to
the memorable gold fever of September.
