IDNIGHT MEETING MOVEMENT. Office,
Ited Lion-square, W.C., London.—During the last 10 years
this Institution has been instrumental in rescuing a vast number
of poor girls from a life of degradation and misery. The plan
adopted has been to seek the wanderers in the streets of London
and gather them together at the midnight hour, when short and
faithful addresses have been given.
During the present year the Meetings have been held nearly
every week hi some of the most frequented districts of the
metropolis.
The promoters have abundant evidence that these efforts have
been most successful in effecting a great moral change in many
fallen ones.

To enable them to continue their important work, FUNDS are
earnestly solicited, and will be thankfully received by Mr. John
Stabb, Hon. Sec., 5, Red Lion-square, W.C., London ; and at the
Union Bank of London (Carey-street Branch),. W.O.

A NOSTRUM FOR PREMATURE TRUTH.

On the 28th the appearance of the Journal ()Aid was
looked for with much anxiety. Its contents were reassuring.
Not only did it give no confirmation respecting the reported
surrender, but it spoke in terms of righteous indigna-
tion against the print which contained " the odious lines."
The Government could, it said, in the name of public
safety and the law, suppress or restrain the liberty of the
press, which has its inconveniences in a besieged town.
But, as the Journal Officiel —probably reflecting that it
would not do for the one and indivisible Republic to com-
mence with the very system of restrictions which had
helped to prop up the hated Empire—declared that
the Ministry preferred to trust to public opinion. If
brought before a court-martial, the libel would expose its
author to most severe punishment, but the Government
believed that public opinion would be more efficacious.
"The Government gives a distinct denial to the accusa-
tion. Since the 17th August no direct dispatch from
Mardchale Bazaine has been able to cross the lines.
General Bourbaki having escaped, his relations with the
delegation of Tours and acceptance of a command contra-
dict the assertions of the Combat."

With this reassuring notice, Paris became tolerably
satisfied. The ordinary routine life was resumed. We
heard with the customary resignation that "on and after
Tuesday next" gas would be reduced one half, and that
in private establishments all lights were to be extinguished
by half-past ten. Horse flesh was to be served out the
same as butcher's meat, which will shortly be given in
rations alternately with salt pork.
On the 28th the Germans attempted to retake the village
of Bourget, which had been occupied by the French.
The account given here is, as usual, very favourable to
our side. The enemy, always repulsed, returned again
and again to the charge. Repulsed with the bayonet,
decimated by the forts of the Briche, Aubervilliers, and
the Eastern, the Prussians at night gave up the
attempt. The French remained masters ofthe ' position.' "
Nevertheless, the post thus won has been since abandoned,
ostensibly because it was not worth holding.
On the 29th M. Fax Pyat resumed the Metz story by
declaring that it was for the government to prove its truth
or falsehood. The public laughed at this notion of the
Government investigating all the lies that the Combat and
kindred papers might choose to tell. Its mirth was
destined to be of no great duration.

STRANGULATION OF GAME.

The announcement made a few days ago, that
the Earl of Cawdor had given permission to his
ttinants to kill hares and rabbits was received with
popular satisfaction, but it seems that the qualifica-
tion by which the permit was accompanie I was
overlooked. The Earl has certainly acted in
a generous manner to his tenants, but the
reservation which he has made that they
shall not kill hares or rabbits with the gull
has evoked unfavourable comment. It is objected
by some that this stipulation will result in the in-
fliction of unnec 2nsary pain upon the animals, inas-
much as it compels the tenantry to strangle them.
Probably the noble earl, when he discoveis that
public attention has been called to the conditional
terms of his permission, will remove the cause of
complain'.

THE OCCUPATION OF DIJON.

The correspondent of the Daily News, writing from
Amange on October 28th, says :—There is no longer any
doubt as to the occupation of Dijon, which is a far more
serious matter than may at first appear, for it leaves the
road to Lyons open to the enemy. The German troops
having extended their line to Dijon, it seems to
me that their next move will be from their left
upon the forces that General Garibaldi has con-
centrated.in the Forest of Serre. Dijon having given way
our only hope of defending Dole, and consequently our-
selves, from an advance from their extreme right, is to
defend the passage of the Saone in the neighbourhood of
Auxonne. If, on the other hand, and I should not be at
all surprised if this were to happen—seeing that the
passage of the Saone would be extremely difficult
on account of the inundation on the western
side—the enemy should make a move from its extreme
left, we have the troops at Besancon, who would be
bound to help us, and a magnificent position in the Forest
of Serre. Taking account of the Free Corps which have
arrived here during the last fow days, the troops
under the command of Garibaldi must number, .I
should think, at least seven or eight thousand
ready to go into action. It is 'true that the Mobile
Guard are armed with muzzle-loading guns ; but "on the
other hand, the whole of the Free Corps, which aro very
numerous, are provided with Chassepots. Whatever may
happen, I feel sure that the whole of the troops here have
perfect confidence in their general, who on hip side
seems determined not to retreat unless we are tho;oughly
beaten.

THE APPEAL OF THE RED MAN.

We might search in vain through a month's file of the
Congressional Globe for a speech so interesting as that
delivered by Red Cloud at the Indian Council. The chief
comes to the point without any periphrasis, and states his
grievances without ambiguity. " Whose voice was first
heard in this land ?" is a question wrung from the depths
of a nature more finely touched than we are apt to ascribe
to the red man. " Our nation is melting away like the
snow on the side of the hills when the sun is warm," be-
speaks the mournful presage of coming doom. " Tell the
Great Father to remove Fort Fetterman," is the chief's
mode of redressing what he believes to be a great wrong,
and is as concisely stated as his demands to keep " Black
Hill" and " Big Horn" free from the invasion of the rail-
roads, and to remove the stakes that have already been
driven into the ground. The chief firmly rejects the
proposed reservation on the Missouri, since he has learned
by experience that his children and old men die there like
sheep. With a certain quiet dignity he refers to the man
—Gen. Mitchell—who, 18 years ago, dealt truthfully with
him, intimating at the same time his conviction that
various subsequent transactions have scarcely deserved a
similar compliment. A plain and dispassionate statement
of the Indian view of the standing problem between bar-
barism and civilisation is precisely what most people re-
quired, and it is what this oration of Red Cloud, endorsed
as it was by his companions, affords. It is not a little
startling to hear the bold reminder of the Chief, " You
are the people who should keep peace," and one-sided as
it is, there is in it much matter for reflection. The clear
conception which this unlettered savage possesses of what
he claims as his rights, and what he is disposed to resent
in his wrongs, shows very plainly the necessity for treating
with the leader of the aboriginal " nations " on some
straightforward and intelligible principle. The attempt
to cajole and bamboozle them; as if they were deficient in
intelligence, ought to be abandoned, no less than the policy
of hunting them down like wild beasts. Whatever maybe
the theories we hold about the ultimate future of a decaying
race, we cannot fail to recognise the wisdom of meeting
Red Cloud and his people in a spirit of frankness and firm-
ness. In this respect we need not be above learning a
lesson, even from the savage.—New York Times.

HORRIBLE DEATH.—The Liverpool coroner has
held an inquest on the body of a man named John
M`Kenna, who was employed at Messrs. Walker's distil-
lery, Vauxhall-road, in that town. Whilst cleaning a
corn-shoot he fell into a large mash-tub filled with boiling
liquid, and was so horribly scalded that he died the next
day in great agony.
THE Poon LAW DEPARTMENT.—The number of
paid officers locally employed in the administration of
the Poor Laws in England and Wales in 1869, exclusive
of the metropolitan district, was no less than 13,849.
618 were clerks to the guardians, 3,900 q medical officers,
1,336 relieving officers, 629 masters of workhouses or
superintendents of schools, 636 matrons of workhouses or
schools, 307 schoolmasters, 489 schoolmistresses, 1,521
collectors of rates, 227 assistant overseers, 460 porters, 98
male nurses, 689 nurses, 2,933 assistant relieving officers,
industrial trainers, and other officers and assistants. In
the course of the year 1869 53 of this host voluntarily re-
signed in order to avoid inquiry, &c., and there were also
70 forced resignations and 74 dismissah.
London, England, 1870-06-23

peculiar jurisdiction, and he proceeded to show the origin
of it. He contended that the continuing to call
upon brokers in the City of London to find security for
their respectability was simply absurd. The hop factors
were not called upon to give such security, and this arose
simply from the circumstance of their carrying on busi-
ness on the other side of the water. The principal objection,
however, of the brokers was to the tribunal before which
they were called upon to appear because they doubted
much whether the Alderman had power to administer
an oath, and when the most compromising state-
ments were made against the broker before the
Court of Aldermen he believed it was done without the
complaining party being called upon to guarantee his
truthfulness by taking an oath. He did not wish to claim
any special privileges for brokers, but what he did
ask was that they should make other traders
obey the law of the land, and not be made
subject to a hole and corner tribunal which was

not considered competent to transact the whole
of the powers delegated to it. It was said that there
were persons who stood in need of the most reliable
pers ,ns to transact their business, such as foreigners and
widows, buthe believed they were invariably sharp enough,
and as for the ladies, it was rather a rare exception to find
one who did not know how to take care of her money.
He did think the time had arrived when the brokers of
the City of London should be treated other than as a
dangerous class of men. He looked upon the practice
that now existed as the remains of a barbarous age, un-
worthy of the times, in which they lived, and unworthy
the support of the House.
Mr. T. BARING seconded the motion. He did so in no
hostility towards the revenues of the City of London, or
with a desire to find fault with the manner in which the
magisterial and judicial business was transacted. On the
contrary he thought the practice in existence was a most
objectionable one, and thought the Court of Aldermen would
do well to give it up. He thought it most unjust that one
particular class should be treated so unfairly, and unless
the stigma of vice and immorality could be truly attached
to the class who complained he thought bare justice
would at once call for the abolition of the ancient and
now objectionable practice. He felt neither the corporation
nor the trade of the City of London would suffer in the
event of Parliament giving its assent to the measure now
under consideration.

The debate, on the motion of Mr. EYKYN, was then
adjourned.

ROYALTY AT DULWICH.

An interesting ceremony has taken place at Dulwich
under the auspices of the Prince and the Princess
of Wales. The "College of God's Gift" owes its
origin to the generosity of Edward Alleyne, and
its name has been often before the public in con-
nection with the administration of its revenues. It
has now been formally opened by his Royal Highness.
The beauty and admirable arrangements of the
building excited general enthusiasm. The
usual observances of the yearly celebration
were gone through, the chief variation in the
programme being a commemoration ode, in
which due honour was rendered to Alleyne for his
munificence, and to the Prince of Wales for his
courtesy in attending. Prizes having been distri-
buted, the Principal, the Rev. Dr. Carver, reminded
those present that the charter of the college was signed
on the longest day in 1007, and told of the good results
which followed from the bestowal of scholarships on
persevering scholars. Afterwards came a luncheon
and the usual loyal toasts, the Prince of Wales re-
turning thanks for his health in an appropriate
speech, in which he shewed that he had been
carefully examining the antecedents of the college
since he reminded his hearers that Alleyne, the
founder, was bear-keeper as well as actor to Queen
Elizabeth, of famous memory. Altogether the
inavguaration of the college, despite the excessive
heat of the weather, passed off with unflagging
spirit.

To-day and to-morrow are the last days of the great
national exhibition of dogs. The complete list of prizes
awarded is a very extensive one, including dogs of almost
,every class, from the bloodhounds and St. Bernards, who
figure in the earlier part of the catalogue, to the toy
terriers who close it. There are no less than 106 classes,
the 106th being St. Bernard puppies under six months old.
The prizes in most cases were £5 for the first and £3 for
the second, and in very few cases ware they withheld for
'want of merit.

ment was made until later in the afternoon. Three
bodies were not identified. All the injured persons in the
town are said to be in a hopeful condition, except the
Dutchman, Gerard Toff, of London.

COMMEMORATION AT OXFORD.

Commemoration week at Oxford would b 6 thorn
of half of its pretensions, if the day devoted to the
conferring of degrees were omitted from the pro-
gramme. The opportunity which it gives to the
undergraduates to pass their opinions on men and
manners is utilised after the most approved
fashion, and the lungs of the young students who
fill the gallery of the Sheldonian Theatre a
exercised in a way that would amaze people of a let
robust constitution than the English. Complaints hay
been frequently made that these displays are carried tc
excess, but on Tuesday if there was much noise, them
does not seem to have been any practical joking. The
ladies in blue and the ladies in pink, the young
ladies and the old ladies, the married ladies and the
unmarried ladies, were cheered with an impartiality
and a gusto that left it hard to decide on their com-
parative degrees of popularity. But woe to the unfor-
tunate wight who, forgetful of the proprieties, dared
to intrude upon the stage in other than the regula-
tion sartorial adornments. A red rag is not more
provocative of the ire of a wild bull than a coloured
coat is'offensive to the critical eye of young Oxford
on the first day of Commemoration. The gentleman who
had committed the unpardonable indiscretion of
donning a white coat was on Tuesday the subject of
much indignation, and the cries of " Mad dog,"
" Turn him out," " You had better go at once,
sir," accompanied by the groans and hisses of the
hundreds who were in the gallery, must
have been anything but pleasant. Luckily,
another subject was discovered in the area with
a straw hat, and the attention of the audience was
immediately directed to its possessor. Then followed
groans for Blackwood and cheers for Disraeli. The
Prince of Wales was not much favoured, but the
mention of the Princess of Wales was followed by
hearty cheers. Divinity was received with favour,
but at the names of Mr. Bright and Mr. Lowe there
was a difference of opinion, and poor Mr. Goldwin
Smith was unmercifully tabooed. " Culture " was a
decided favourite, and as its chief representative
was one of the recipients of a degree,
he received an ovation of a marked kind.
Among those whom the University had considered
worthy of honour were Sir Edwin Landseer and
Sir Francis Grant, and the representatives of art
were loudly applauded. The ceremony concluded,
the crowd soon left the place to enjoy themselves in
as pleasant, if less demonstrative a manner.
London, England, 1870-06-23

THE WELSH FASTING GLUL.

The inquiry instituted by the Government with
reference to the death of the girl Sarah Jacob in
Wales, has cost the State six hundred and odd
pounds. A return giving full particulars
of the expenditure in the case has been
printed by order of Parliament, and from it
we learn that the costs to counsel for, advice,
briefs, for attending before magistrates, and for rail-
way fare amounted to £l6O. People will not grumble
against these items when they remember the brilliant
laWyers that were engaged by the Crown. The pay-
ment of witnesses, however, does appear in some in-
stances to be exorbitant. The vicar of Llaufihangel,
whose testimony, if we remember rightly, did not
assist the magistrates in any remarkable manner, is
paid for eight days' attendance,the cost of which, added
to payments for travelling expenses, is set down in the
return at £9 12s. The clergyman's travelling ex-
penses are, however, trivial when compared to those
demanded on behalf of each of the nurses.
These dames were each paid 15s. daily as witnesses
for fifteen days, and the sum allowed to cub for
railway fare was £6 10s. It is to be presumed that
they went to and from Carmarthen always in first-
class carriages, and that they were, in consideration
of the highly charitable manner in which they acted
towards the sick girl, on no account allowed to walk
a step to or from the court of inquiry.

AMERICAN FINANCIAL AFFAIRS.

It is believed in Washington that Mr. Schenck's
funding bill will not pass into law this session. Mr.
Garfield's bill for an additional issue of national
bank-notes has been reported against by the
Financial Committee of the Senate, and a conference be-
tween the two Houses has been ordered, the bill having
been passed by the House of Representatives.
Mr. Whittemore, the re-elected member for South
Carolina, has been refused admission to the House of
Representatives.

DENOMINATIONAL OR SECTARIAN.

While gentlemen of the House of Commons are
working themselves up to fever heat on the subject
of education, it may be well to give an illustration
of the practical results of the laissez faire system.
This is supplied by a correspondent of the Times,
and theorists fresh from the controversial atmos-
phere of our legislative chamber, may read almost side
by side with their carefully prepared disquisitions
a plain commentary on the education of our rural
population. Hiding through some fields in Hert-
fordshire, the attention of the correspondent in ques-
tion is called to a boy 10 or'll years of age, who has
been caught in a farmer's orchard. The boy and his
elder brother had stolen the cherries, broken the
trees, and killed two turkeys. The farmer
is puzzled what to do with the young
culprit, and asks the gentleman's advice.
Then follows the ensuing dialogue :—" Do you go to
school ?"—" No." Does your elder brother go to
school?"—" No." " Have you any other brothers
or sisters P" " Yes." " Do they go to school ?"

" NO." " Can any of you rein or write ?"—" No."
" Are your father and mother living ?"—" Only my
father." " What does he do ?"—" Anythinc, he can
get." " And what do you and your brothers and
sisters do ?"—"Father turns us out of a morning, and
if we don't bring something home ha won't let us
have anything to eat." On subsequent inquiry it was
found that neither the father nor any of his family
could read or write, that none of them e-rer went to
school; that the father had been in pr)9on many
times, and most of the children frequently—in fact,
that these candidates for penal servitude were in as
deplorable a condition as though they were fie sub-
jects of some dusky king in the innermost recesses
of benighted heathendom. Meanwhile the wordy war

goes on.

THE AMERICANS ON CHARLES DICKENS.

The news of Charles Dickens's death produced the
greatest consternation in America. Two days after-
wards the papers appeared with full particulars of his
career, and minute criticisms of his works. These are
written with spirit and eloquence, and display a just
appreciation of the works of the great author. The
New York Tribune says it is the glory of Charles
Dickens that he has acquired such a mastery
over the" human heart that his ideal men and

women became the personal friends of the reader. The
Herald observes that so far as the Americans are con-
cerned, the mistakes of his first visit were fully
repaired in his second, and that many Amen-
cans can testify to the social qualities of
the man, and the hospitalities they shared
in his house. It believes that the world-
wide fame of Dickens consists in his graphic
descriptions of low life, and in his everyday living
characters, both good and bad. The New York Times
declares that the death of a man like Charles
Dickens seems to create a blank in our exist-
ence. Those of middle life have " grown up, "
as it were, with him, and he was espe-
cially regarded as the novelist of the house-
hold. The world is not quite the same after a
man of such genius is taken from it. Another
account declares that the news of his death touched
the hearts of the people as the death of no author
ever touched a people's heart before. The loss of
no man, Abraham Lincoln, perhaps, excepted, has
carried mourning into so many families, and been so
deservedly lamented in all ranks of society. The
death of such a man must be regarded as a universal
misfortune.

NARROW ESCAPE OF A PASSENGER.

The following account has been given of the painful
position of one of the travellers by the unfortunate excur-
sion train. Mr. C. A. Wilson, music-seller, of Leeds
was seated in, a compartment with one lady apd
four gentlemen. Ike first felt a bump, saw the
lamp shake, felt the train off the line, and the
next instant found himself almost buried, he knew not
where. Recovering breath and collecting his faculties, he
discovered that he was tightly held by a heavy weight of
timber pressing on his ankle and hip. Overhead and
around him were broken planks and splinters. A good
deal of this he managed to clear away, but he was quite
unable to extricate his leg. On all sides he heard the
cries of the wounded. He could give no help ;
but, with manly fortitude, he refrained from calling
for assistance until others in greater danger than
himself were relieved. The circumstances were trying,
because, as Mr. Wilson found, while his ankle
was fast held, one knee was bent on the chest of a
gentleman below him--one who had sat in the same car-
riage, s friend whom he knew, and who not unnaturally
urged him very earnestly to "sing out." Groping about
as far as his outstretched hands could reach, Mr. Wilson
felt and saw the arms of a lady. Withdrawing his hands
he found them stained with blood. The lady was Mrs.
Robinson, who had sat in the next seat of the carriage,
and was here crushed to death. For two hours did he
and his friend below remain firmly held in the grip of the
heavy timber pressing on them. When at length th 4
workmen got to them, Mr. Wilson directed their opera-
tions, and, after danger from misapplied leverage and
an accidental and probably well-meant blow on the
head from a crowbar, he and the man beneath were libe-
rated. Mr. Wilson's ankle was believed to be broken,
but it is happily whole, though bruised and sprained.

MORE TRACES AT BRIXTON.

The police have continued their inquiries into the
Brixton baby-farming case. Unfortunately, there is only
too much for them to discover. One child, whose only
known name is " Little Teddy," and who was one of the
inmates of the house at Brixton, has boon idontified and
taken from the Lambeth Workhouse. A woman named
Carter has come forward with a child two and a-half years
old, placed in her care by the prisoner "Waters" (whom she
knew as Mrs. Blackburn) in September, 1867. The child
was then much emaciated, and Carter consented to bring
it up on condition of Waters paying 7s. a week. The
prisoner has now admitted that when she lived in
ourneinouth-road, Peckham, one aught in August or
September, 1867, a well-dressed woman brought the child
to her to take care of, and agreed to pay lls. a
week. That sum has been regularly paid, but Carter,
who was really taking care of the infant, has
scarcely received any money, in fact, £l6 Bs. is now
due to her, according to the arrangement entered
into. The authorities are anxious that this case should be
known in order, if possible, that the friends of the child
should be traced. It is now healthy. On Wednesday a
young Woman attended the Carter-street station and stated
that from what she had read she was led to believe that
an infant she had intrusted to a woman at Camberwell
was one of those found at Brixton. She gave a description
of the woman who had taken it, which in almost every
particular agrees with that given of the prisoner Waters,
She states that on the 4th of March, the child being then
one month old, she arranged to meet a person whom she
believes to be Waters, through seeing an advertisement in
a newspaper. The woman took her child and she paid her
£4, for which she had the following receipt :—t `4th of
March, 1870. Received the sum of £4, for which I take
this child, and I promise to adopt it entirely as my own,
never again to give it up, but always to strictly study
its present and future happiness.—Signed, Fanny
Stewart." The young woman failed to find out the
residence of the woman calling herself Stewart, and who
made just such a statement of her comfortable circum.
stances, and what she would do for the child as
Waters did to Sergeant Relf. She proceeded
to Lambeth Workhouse, and saw the infants, all of
whom were either too old or too young. On seeing
some baby-linen at the house of Waters, in Gordon-
grove, she identified one or two articles as those sent with
her baby in March last. The child is not to be found,
With regard to the child in care of the woman named
Carter, the prisoner first said its name was was Margaret
Emily Curtis, but afterwards denied that it was so. The
other children still remain in the workhouse for identifica-
tion. The child of Miss Cohen, it is feared, will not
survive, its present condition being very critical. It is
stated that upwards of 40 infants have been intrusted to
Waters during the past four years.

ROYALTY AT DULWICH.

An interesting ceremony has taken place at Dulwich
under the auspices of the Prince and the Princess
of Wales. The " College of God's Gift" owes its
origin to the generosity of Edward Alleyne, and
its name has been often before the public in con-
nection with the administration of its revenues. It
has now been formally opened by his Royal Highness.
The beauty and admirable arrangements of the
building excited general enthusiasm. The
usual observances of the yearly celebration
were gone through, the chief variation in the
programme being a commemoration ode, in
which due honour was rendered to Alleyne for his
munificence, and to the Prince_ of Wales for his
courtesy in attending. Prizes having been distri-
buted, the Principal, the Rev. Dr. Carver, reminded
those presentthat the charter of the college was signed
on the longest day in 1607, and told of the good results
which followed from the bestowal of scholarships on
persevering scholars. Afterwards came a luncheon
and the usual ldyal toasts, the Prince of Wales re-
turning thanks for his health in an appropriate
speech, in which he spewed that he had been
carefully examining the antecedents of the college
since he reminded his hearers that Alleyne, the
founder, was bear-keeper as well as actor to Queen
Elizabeth, of famous memory. Altogether the
inauguaration of the college, despite the excessive
heat of the weather, passed off with unflagging
spirit.

CHAPMAN & CO.'S ENTIRE WHEAT FLOUR.
PRONISSOR ATTFIELD, Analyst to the Royal Pharma-
ceutical Society of Great Britain, reports as follows :--" Its rich-
ness in gluten, or flesh-forming material and phoshates, or bone
and teeth-forming substances, shows it to be a very valuable and
nutritious food, especially for children. It is incomparably
superior to arrowroot, corn-flour, and other forms of starch, which
contribute but little to the growth or renewal of bone or muscle.

THE NEW LAW COURTS.

The temperature at present is not conducive to
activity, but the public has some reason to complain
of the ex trardinary apathy which delays
the erection of our long promised Law
Courts all the year round. Many a long year
has passed since the absolute necessity for their con-
struction was clearly . demonstrated. Parliament
ratified the decision arrived at after a long strugle,
but one of the Inns of Court stood in the way.
After a year had been wasted, the oppo-.
sition was withdrawn, and the Act became law;
but the preliminary work was not finished, for the
fierce dispute as to the rival merits of Carey-street
and the Thames Embankment commenced with
full vigour. One side argued that a good site was
the first consideration in a work of a national character.
The other contended that the Carey-street site was
bought and must therefore be used. Mr. Lowe,
always rejoicing in difficulties, found a way
to reconcile the disputants by insisting on
a site which the malcontents agreed to be
the worst yet suggested. Finally it was decided-that
the original Carey-street design should be adhered
to, and we all expected to see the work begin. We
were, however, too hasty. Mr. Ayrton tells Lord E.
Cecil that questions of a very complicated character
have arisen in respect to the New Courts of
Law, which will take some time to solve.
As if anything connected-with English law could be
otherwise than complicated and interminable ! There
is one advantage : the engineer is hoist with his own
petard, and the irritated and disappointed legal
fraternity may now understand something-of the
pleasures of legal delays.

PARTY PROCESSIONS IN IRELAND.

Efforts are being made in many parts of Ulster, a cor-
respondent 'writes, to induce the Orangemen to make no
offensive displays on the approaching Twelfth of July.
In particular the hoisting of flags on church steeples is
objected to, and the exhibition of other emblems
is to be confined? in many places, to the
club-rooms. There will be large gatherings, however,
throughout the provinces, at which the new Processions
Bill will be the chief topic discussed.—At a meet-
ing in BellaSt to take into consideration Mr.
Fortescue's Bill to suppress Processions in Ire-
land, an Orange working-man occupied the chair.
and contended that such a. bill would not be borne with
for twenty-four hours in England. " The people would
rise en masse against such an interference with personal.
liberty." They would (he said) give to the Roman Catho-
lics every right they themselves enjoyed, but from neither
Whig nor Tory would they bear legislation opposed to'
individual liberty. ,
