RAILWAYS AND THE PUBLIC.

About eighteen months a2,-o a great outcry was
raised by the inhabitants in the south of London
through'the raising of the fares on the metropolitan
extension line of the London, Chatham, and Dover
Railway Company. Meetings were called,
.protests
signed, and general indignation expressed against this
additional tax on the suburban residents; but
the company was obdurate, and refused to give way.
No change in the receipts was observable for some
time ; recently, however, dwellings have become
vacant, house property in the south of London has
become depreciated in value, and the consequence
is that the railway company have now discovered
the mistake they made in forcing thousands of
persons to reside on cheaper lines. With the
commencement of the new year they have
reverted to the old thrill' charges, by which means
they hope to increase their traffic receipts, and at
the same time raise the value of house property to its
former status.

THE "PALL MALL GAZETTE."

Tho Pall Mall Gazette has made its first appear-
ance
as a morning journal. It quite attains unto the
expectations formed of it. The size of its page is
somewhat smaller and less cumbrous than that of the
ordinary newspaper, and it makes up for this loss by
the number of As pages—sixteen on Saturday. It is
exceedingly well got-up—well printed on really good
paper. The news is just that which is wanted: not so
scanty as some of our metropolitan contemporaries give
their readers, and yet well summarised and varied.
The price—twopence—shews a revolt from the tra-
dition that all new-started journals in this ago must
be issued at a penny; and in no sense is our contem-
porary conventional. It forsakes the old style en-
tirely, and launches out with a plan of its own. Of
course, in principle the Pall Mall- Gazette will be, as
of old—in theology very " advanced " indeed ; in
social matters aristocratic ; and it will probably retain
much of the too-evident sneerino• tone in which it
follows the Saturday Review. But all who wish well
to a good newspaper must hope it will be successful.

M. EMILE OLLIVIER has at last succeeded in
forming a Ministry to rule France on the new
system of parliamentary government by majo-
rities. The list is a little more promis-
ing than the one at first announced,
but it is likely neither to satisfy the country, nor to
command a permanent majority in the Corps Legis-
latif. Five of the Ministers who have lately resigned,
resume their portfolios. The new officials are chosen
from the Right Centre, and, if we except M.
LOUVET, are not of any great mark ; the
Left Centre, with all M. OLLIVIER'S old associates,
has held aloof from this combination. It is to be
regretted that the first Constitutional Ministry which
has been formed under the Empire—the first Ministry,
that is, which is to be answerable to the representa-
tives of the people—should not have found greater
support. It would appear that now the EMPEROR
has consented to give the Parliament a large, if not
a predominating, influence in the control of
affairs, the concession is regarded with in-
difference. But such is not the case. M.
OLLIVIER, the French Premier, is not trusted either
by the deputies or the public, and his failure to gather
round him a powerful Cabinet is merely another
example of the truth that clever men without politi-
cal principle can have no lasting influence with
nation whose choice of its rulers is really free.
M. OLLIVIER, like many other popular French
leaders—for he was once to be classed in this cate-
gory, is a native of Marseilles. He began life as c
member of the Paris bar, and soon got a post
under the Revolutionary Government of 1848, owing
to the patronage of the Socialist, LEDRU-ROLLIN.
But shortly afterwards, with characteristic fickleness,
he abused the politician to whom he was indebted for
his first public appointment. M. OLLIVIER'S fathef
was ruined and driven into exile by the coup d'etat,
and thus M. OLLIVIER naturally became
hostile to the Emperor NAPOLEON'S Govern-
ment. For seven years ho was deputy for Paris,
and figured as one of the famous Cing—the five
deputies who long constituted the only Opposition
of the servile Legislative Body. The remembrance o:
the cop d'etat did.

THE CONSERVATIVES AND THE BALLOT.

An article which appears in Saturday night's Globe
on the Ballot marks very distinctly the change which
has come over the Conservative party upon this
subject. The hatred of secret voting is no longer
apparent. "It doesn't much matter either way,"
says in effect our Conservative contemporary. At
the same time it does matter very much whether cor-
ruption is to go on, whether Bridgwater, Beverley,
Totnes, and other towns are to become centres
of a traffic in votes, and the country districts are to
produce electors who are totally subservient to their
landlords. And the Globe admits this. It
dceares, moreover, that it would hail any schema
" the Ballot not excepted," which would prevent
oppression and bribery ; it has no idea that it would
exercise an injurious effect upon "the party." Yet
the Ballot is not to our contemporary's mind. Again
are put some objections to the adoption of the scheme,
but by no means in the same spirit as of old. The
" determined opposition," the bitterness of spirit, the
hatred of the change which was formerly so strongly
marked in Conservative articles on this subject are all
gone. The Globe evidently thinks the Ballot is not
far off. .

THE " IRISHMAN'S " RETROSPECT.

Following. the example of many of its contempo7
raries, the Irishman reviews the events of the past
year in its own approved style. With 1809, we are
for our
told, " ends the seven centuries since the landing of
the Ann•lo-Norman, and a new day shall begin
native land with next year." Heaven is boldly
assumed to be on the sido of the Fenians, and the
downfall of " the proud, the tyrannical,
evil-doer," is predicted with a confidence which de-
rives support not merely from Holy and the
Writ, but
from the " lively and reassuring " proofs which are
to be seen of the growing embarrassments of the
British EMpirc. There is the IZA Inver affair;
there is O'Neill's threat of another invasion of
eatilda; Anstralia talks of settinir up housekeeping
for itself; the Maories are " carrying on the war
against the English invaders with a vigour which
a:loyds the latter very little hope of life ;" and in
India the want of bread is leading to di:.7afrection. It
would be cruel to seri:finis...! this catalogue of
dangerous symptoms too closely—enough that "in
is way it is consolatory to those evil-disposed persons
who fancy the world could move on very comfortably
without the incubus called the British Empire."

THREATENED AGRARIAN OUTRAGE IN WALES.

If a Welsh paper is to be believed, the Principality
is becoming a:lected with one of the most promising
signs of Irish disaffection. According to a Carmar-
then paper, a threatening letter, written in Welsh,
has been sent to the successor of a tenant who was
recently evicted for refusal to fulfil an agreement
requirin,, an advance of rent, in pursuance of a valna-
'inn of the nrouertv he held. The document. which

OUR. IRONCLAD FLEET.

The new ironclad ram Rupert, now being laid
down at Chatham, is intended to be the most for-
midable ship, either for offensive or defensive pur-
poses' possessed by any naval Power in the world.
Her dimensions will be .very moderate-250 feet
long, extreme breadth of beam, .53 feet, with a mean
draught of 22 feet 0 inches, and her burden
3,159 tons. She will be able to attain a mean speed
of twelve knots per hour. Her two 18-ton
guns are to be carried on a single revolving turret;
they will be placed nearly eleven feet above the
water, and, therefore, capable of being foujht in any
weather. The ram-bow is spear-shaped, which will
enable the vessel to attack ironclad ships at their most
vital part—that ie, on the weak side plating below
t'io armour. She will have two light masts only,
and a few small fore and aft sails, as she is intended
to move only on her engine power. The construction
of the Rupert is to be pushed forward as rapidly as
the resources of the establishment will permit.

EMIGRATION FROM THE MERSEY.

The annual return of emigration from the Mersey was
completed on Saturday by the Government emigration
sgent at Liverpool. It appears from this rcturn that the
total number of emigrants of all classes during the year
was 172,731, a larger number than any since the year
1852, when the total emigration was 229,099. In that
rear, however, a large proportion of the emigrants were
Irish. In the past year, however, the proportions of
ither nationalities sailing for the United States in ships
under the Act (who alone aro classified) were as follows :
inglish, 57,320; Scotch, 7,231; Irish, 20,056 ; and
foreigners, 44,775. It is only fair to remark that now fan
more Irish emigrants embark at 'their own ports than for-
merly. But even allowing for that, the proportionate fall.
rug off in Irish emigration to the States is very great. The
tsturns for Canada for the year shew the followingpropor-
:ions :—English, 10,946 ; Scotch, 12 ; Irish, 350 ; ana
.oreigners, 12,954. To Victoria the proportions were :—Eng-
' .lsh, 945 ; Scotch, 125 ; Irish, 179 ; Foreigners, 47. The total
emigration, including the proportion, of " short ".ships,
or those not sailing under the provisions of the Act, was
—to the United States, 144,926; to Canada, 24,354; to
Victoria, 2,474 ; to New South Wales 3 ; New Zealand'
3 ; West Indies, 115 ; South America, 1,235 ; Africa, 379 ;
China, 20 ; East Indies, 121; British Columbia, 21; New
Brunswick, 45; and Newfoundland, 8. The total emigra •
tion of 1869 was 43,394 in excess of that of 1868.

THE VOLUNTEERS.

The re-organisation of the volunteer force is attract-
ing very general attention. On the whole, Mr.
Cardwell's proposals are favourably criticised. Espe-
cially is commendation bestowed upon his suggestion
that the amateur should be brought into more inti-
mate connection with the regular soldiery by put-
ting the former under the district military officers.
But the increased capitation grant—or rather
the conditions attached to it—rare very variously
criticised. Some volunteers are represented
ai very dissatisfied in respect to it. The
Secretary for War promises to increase the
grant to every volunteer who attends company and
battalion drill and fires sixty rounds at the butts.
The total discontinuance of the 30s. grant is, there-
fore, expected, and the Broad Arrow believes that
a hint has been given that every volunteer will have
either to earn or pay the money. This plan, it is
feared by some, will reduce the numbers of the force.
That such will be the case is by no means shewr,
and Mr. Cardwell's defenders urge that it is better
to have a small efficient than a large untrained
army.
London, England, 1870-01-03

THE REVENUE.

Of course there is no ground for alarm at the
revenue returns—quite the reverse. The sum total
shows a decrease, as compared with last year, not
because of any falling off in the national prosperity,
but because several important taxes have been re-
pealed or reduced. The nine months already expired
of the current Financial Year shew a decline in the
gross revenue to the amount of £2,343,617: This is
accounted for by the reduction of the property tax,
which accordingly falls off to the extent of above a
million, the repeal of the shilling corn duty, which
reduces the Customs' receipts by £351,000, and the
repeal of the fire insurance and other duties.
It was expected that the decline would have been
greater, and it is satisfactory to find it so little.

THE TOURS VERDICT.

Prince Bonaparte has escaped, but his triumph
was only narrowly obtained. Eighteen of the jury
were for acquittal and eighteen for condemnation—
the prisoner getting the benefit of this inde-
cision. This statement has been in circula-
tion for the last day or two, and has not met
with contradiction. One writer says that the first
eleven papers that were drawn from the urn and un-
folded by the foreman were for condemnation, by a
strange freak of hazard, and those who had signed
for acquittal began to look round and ask themselves,
"Am I alone in my opinion ?" But the noes turned
up quickly, and as the required majority of twenty
was not forthcoming, Prince Pierre Bonaparte
escaped. The feeling of utter amazement in France
at the issue seems to be in no way diminished.

The Chester Courant states that Mr. George
Jackson, of Tattenhall Hall, near that city, has esta-
blished on his farm a building to be used as a cheese
ilctory, on the American plan. Mr. Jackson intends to
work the factory for one year, buying the milk of 500
cows from farmers in the district, besides using what is
produced on his own farm. He will at the end of that
period publicly state the result.

Monsignor Isai, Armenian Patriarch of Jerusalem,
is stated to have received a letter from the Earl of Claren-
don, expressing the pleasure with which her Majesty had
learnt of the safe return of the Armenian Bishop and his
companion, who were sent by the Patriarch to Abys-
sinia, to endeavour to procure the release•_of the British
captives, and who were themselves detained for many
months.

A frightful explosion occurred on Tuesday afternoon on
the premises of Messrs. Long, extensive brewers, of South-
sea. A large boiler in an engine house adjoining the main
building exploded with terrific, force, completely destroy-
ing it, and forcing the main portion of the boiler
through the brickwork of the original building. A
large piece, about 3 cwt., was projected over the adjoining
buildings, and fell at about 100 feet distant, doing great
damage, out without injuring any person. Three men
were picked out of the • dßris dead, and two were taken
to the hospital suffering very severely. The shock was
felt for some distance round.

ESPIONAGE AND EXILE.

M. Gustave :Flourens, the leader of the Rochefort
emeute in February, appears to have acquired fame
at the expense of his quietude. After having
for a long tune escaped the attentions of the
French police, their agents seem to have discovered
his residence in the Haymarket, whence he writes to
a friend who publishes his letter in the Marseillaise.
He complains in that communication that
a person had treated the waiter at his hotel
with a glass of ale and offered him a monthly pension
if he would give up letters addressed to I\l. Flourens,
and letters which that gentleman might send to be
posted. He mentions having led the waiter's acquain-
tance and two other gentlemen a good long walk, finally
having them off the scent in the Strand. He offers to pay
a handsome reward to anybody who will bring them
back to him. And this is the way, adds M. Flourens,
in which French public money is spent, while the
workmen expelled from Creuzot by Schneider-Pacha
are dying of hunger with their wives and children,

THE PECULIAR PEOPLE AGAIN.

Parents are as much bound to afford their sick
children medical aid as they are to find them food.
It is a pity this is not forcibly impressed upon
the very " peculiar " people, to which class belong
the parents of a poor child upon whom an in-
quest has been held at Hadleigh in Essex. The de-
ceased was taken ill, apparently with scarlet fever. The
mother and father,.it seems, were fond of the child,
but they refused to call in any medical aid, because
they belonged to the "peculiar people." The words of
the mother at the inquest were these—"We disbelieve
in any medicine at all ; we always .believe that a
person will recover by the prayers of faith, unless
they are sick unto death, and that it is the will of
the Lord they should die." Another woman who
assisted to nurse the child uttered similar cant ex-
pressions approving of this cruel treatment. She said she
used to believe in medical assistance and take medi-
&ne herself up to the time when her sins were par-
doned, sixteen years ago. The coroner warned the
father, who was also examined, that the jury might
possibly return a verdict of manslaughter against him,
but he nevertheless attempted to justify his conduct
by quoting passages of Scripture in support of his
doctrine, but in this he was stopped by the coroner.
The jury did not, however, return a- verdict of
uanslaughter.

COMMISSIONS ON LIFE INSURANCE.

The system of commissions on life insurance has
been discussed in the Times. Dlr. Hardwick defends
it. Ho claims that it ought to be tried upon purely
commercial principles and be tested by the same
standard as is applied to all other contracts of agency.
But fur the persevering application of the agents; h
observes, vast numbers of the policies now
in force would never have been obtained.
" 'lit-Commission," following up the question,
says ho should like to linowskigrir-many.,of the policies

companies now winding up in the"Ohancery Courts?
He contends that the non-commission business is the
only true one, as it insures the recommendation of
the best office without regard to individual
interest. The best actuaries, he adds, have not so
learnt their business as skilled economists without
knowing that the mutual principle is the true prin-
ciple of life insurance.

LOCAL TAXATION.

The official returns in reference to local taxation
for the latest period of twelve months pre-
ceding the month of June, 1868, have been pub-
lished. They shew, among other things, that the
total amount of Church rate collected was £230,707,
being a decrease of £1,769 as compared with the
amount for the preceding year. The amount of ex-
penditure in 1868 for public works

against £144,020; for loans and interest £451,428

FRIENDLY SOCIETIES AND THE STATE.
Mr. W. P. Pattison, in a paper read in London,
has pointed out that Mr. Lowe's Bill for the Aboli4
tion of the Registration of Friendly Societies
could not be regarded as a final measure. It
merely clearod .09 w for Author legiglation,

lie -Was hopeful that Cfovernment might be thsposeo
to take up this question in an earnest manner.
There was a popular delusion that the regis-
trar's certificate was a guarantee for financiut
soundness, and some harm had been done
in that way by the system. Mr. Pattison,
said there were now about 2D,000 friendly
societies of all sDrts, with between three and four
millions of members.. A classification -of • these
societies 'was necessary on account of the varying
rates of liability for sickness and mortality in different
occupations. Thus a classification such as this
might be adopted :—J. 'Affiliated friendly societies.
2. Ordinary societies which had an extensive organi-
sation and transacted businessin various parts of the
kingdom. 3. County societies.. 4. Local, city, or
town societies. 5." Local' village societies. 0. Trade
societies. 7. •Sharing. clubs.. -8.- Deposit benefit
clubs. 0. Burial societies which were industrial in-
surance companies. 10. Trades unions, which pro-
vided allowance's for sickness.

THE 'MURDER OF MADAME LOMBAItD.

On Monday, at the Court of Assizes of the Seine,
Francois Latheauvers, twenty-eight years of age, was
indicted for the murder of Madame Lombard, on
the 28th of Jamiary last. He did not'- deny his
guilt, and appeared to be but little- Moved, by the
proceedings. He described in the coolest manner
the way inwhich he committed the criiYie. " I took my
knife," he said ; "I supported henhead on the table, and
cut her throat." A cry of horror rang through the court
as these Words- were _Uttered, but the prisoner merely
glanced at the crowd, and resumed his former impassive
at rude. The jury retired
_for _a quarter of an hour, and
•bi light in a verdict of Guilty. The prisoner was sen-
teAcedlodeath. ' iL •

A NEW WAY TO "I.3AR", THE MARKET.

'he business at the Gold. Exchange on the 15th was not.
y brisk, and the changes were without special note.
d opened at 111 k, and sold up to 112 about 11 o'clock,
, , _

Lnent

advance, the market closicg very firm at 1121. After the
close of the Board there was little business done, and the
price was steady at about 111; to 112. The clearances for
Monday, reported yesterday, were $92,187,000.
About nine o'clock yesterday morning a clique of brokers,
intent upon fun, captured a bear of huge proportions, which
was being exhibited by his keeper in Now-street, near the
Exchange, and, with the aid of his master, succeeded Ira
introducing him to the Gold Room, where were congregated
a large number of operators actively engaged in " bearing"
the market. Bruin surveyed the scene calmly, and
then, following the example of some human " hears,"
when hey want to operate with vigour, made a rush for the
ring, which he seemed to consider his exclusive domain.
He cleared the arena at once—just as other "bears " some-
times do when they are very strong and fierce—and had the
market all to himself. He promenaded the precinct sacred
to gold for a few minutes, and then imitated the other
"bears" by leaping upon the railing and cutting up other
antics suitable to his bearish nature. The brokers who were
enjoying the sport needed only a real bull to make the
entertainment perfect, and in default of an animal induced
his keeper to engage in a little friendly set to. This was
done to the delight of a multitude of brokers and spectators,
who had been summoned thither by the novel spectacle, and
the contest was kept up for some time—the bear at last
cowing out victorious. The keeper was rewarded for his
trouble with a small hatful of stamps, and led his pet away.
The business of the Exchange was then resumed, but the
effect of the bear's visit seemed to be felt all day. Not-
withstanding strenuous efforts on the part of the "bulls
to put up the price, it would not "stay put" for any length
of time.

THE INSURRECTION AT THE RED RIVER.

The Government has borne with the Red River
insurrection in Canada for some time. Now, how-
ever, it is stated that measures are to be
taken that will surprise the insurgents of that
settlement, if they continue their opposition to the
incorporation of the territory in the Dominion of
Canada. An expedition will be sent against them,
consit ting of a steel battery and troops to the num-
ber of a thousand men.
