AN ORIENTAL ROMANCE.

A story reminding one of the quaint but ever in-
teresting Arabian Nights' tales has been borne across
the seas to us from Turkey. Haidar Effendi, now
Pre!ect of Stamboul, was until lately ambassador
to the Court of Vienna from Constantinople. In the
last of his missions, he had the good fortune to meet
with a Hungarian young lady of great beauty, named
Victoria Von Amminger, the (laughter of •an
inspector of the Coburg estates. The prosperity
of the course of love, which ensued, was
seriously threatened by the difference of religion
of the two parties, and the Effendi, remembering that
only on ono former occasion was a European lady of
the Catholic faith married to a high Ottoman digni-
tary, thought

"From the heretic girl of his soul he should fly
To seek somewhere else a more orthodox kiss."
Love and liberality, however, going together as
they usually do, ultimately assumed the ascen-
dant in his considerations, and the Turkish
Ambassador completed his mission by an offer
of marriage. A few days since the wedding,
of the happy couple was solemnised with much be-
coming magnificence at Vienna. The marriage ser-
vice was in accordance with the Mussulman form,
but the bride and bridegroom both agreed that they
should not abjure their own faith.

THE DISTURBANCES AT LYONS.

A Lyons paper, the Decentralisation, gives a full account
of the riot which occurred at the office of its contemporary,
the Salut Public, The latter journal had quoted from the
France, which is published at Tours, the intelligence of the
fall of Metz. As it happened the report was untrue, being
premature, hut it was given under reserve. However
it made great stir in the town, and large numbers of
persons assembled round the office. In its
evening edition the Salut. Public formally denied
the morning's news, but at six o'clock some
300 persons, men, women, and children blockaded the
street, an uttered furious cries. Not content with this,
they. attempted to break open the doors, and shattered the
windows. " Let us burn the house," they shouted, and
the shout brought the occupants to the windows. The
doors were yielding to the blows, when a picquet of National
Guards arrived a ol c:u.tred the pavement, putting sentinels
t the door. Toe./ e app...ded to by the crowd to
arrest;; e whole he editors, but the captain explained
that h could not do so without a warrant. On
this, some of the leaders proposed to go to
the Hotel-de-Ville and demand the suppression
of the paper, but when they started they found
that no one accompanied them, and were forced to aban-
don their intention. The crowd very soon decided that
it was desirable to suppress, not only the Salut Public, but
the other Lyons papers as well, and one woman insinu-
ated that the Saint had received a large sum fur publish-
ing the canard. However, as the public excitement against
theunfortunate journal was reviving, one of the municipal
councillors, AL Dwane, appeared on tho balcony, and
said, "We have had three revolutions to obtain the
liberty of the Press. It is not the work of a
Republic to suppress journals. An inquiry will
be made, and the propagators of false news will
be punish( d." These words produced some effect, and
towards ten o'clock at night a fresh piquet of National
Guards succeeded in clearing the street.

A GERMAN ACCOUNT.

A German officer, who holds a commission in the in-
vesting army, has written an account of the negotiations
for a surrender :—On the evening of the 2lth a .otter
arrived at head-quarters from Bazaine, requesting an
interview for General Changarnier on the morrow.
Prince Frederick Charles granted this, and arranged
that the General should be met by two orderlies near the
outposts at 11 n.m. They, however, did not find him.
The ground, 2,000 paces in breadth, between our out-
posts and the enemy was thronged with unarmed French
people, who had come within 100 steps of our lines in
order to hunt for potatoes, grapes, and forage ; this wont
on all the morning. The French took off their hats to
our outposts, pointed to their stomachs, and made ges-
tures indicative of hunger. Our soldiers then winked, the
French began their task and turned back when they had
filled their sacks. The soldiers had through" this become
so audacious that we were yesterday (25th) forced to drive
them with sticks out of a village which they had occupied
and would not vacate. As the General did not come
our orderlies took a flag of truce awl went, surrounded by
hundreds of unarmed enemies, up to the French trenches,
where the guard received them. On their saying they ex-
pected the General, an approaching carriage was pointed
out to them. Changarnier, a venerable man of about
but tolerably active, begged that he might ride as far as
possible, as he could not walk far. Our officers sent for
the carriage, and it came so close up that the General
had only to climb over a small trench. Changarnier
is a Republican, but offered his sesrvioea to the Emperor
after the battle of Woerth, and since the Bth of August
had been in Metz, where ho was attached to Bazaine,
without having any separate command. He was blind-
folded, and on his arrival here was received by
General Motile, and conducted to the Prince. The inter-
view lasted an hour and a half, and he was accompanied
as far as the carriage. The General was heartbrokon,and his
last words were, We shall fall, but with honour. I wish
gentlemen, that neither you nor any brave soldier may ever
experience this,' rhereupon a flood of teaeo streamed from
his eyes. He was ed back blindfolded past the outposts.
There, the handkerchief being removed, he observed the
potato seekers, and delivered an oulogium on our soldiers.
He added that he hoped the negotiations in the evening
would lead to some result. The rendezvous arranged
with the Prince was held at the Chateau Frescaty. A
French General of Division and General Stiehle met.
We fixed our conditions on the basis of the capitulations of
Sedan and Strasburg. The French General was at first
very angry, but ultimately took them back with him to
Metz."

TM?: FRANC-TIREURS.

The operations of the Uhlans, who at the opening
of the war were so energetic in scouring French
territory in advance of the German army as to call
forth praise even from the enemy, have been checked
of late by the Franc-Tireurs. Since the Freeshooters
were directed to take to the hedges and ditches of
their native land, much less has been heard of the
expertness of the UhNils than formerly. A
different mode of action, however, is adopted
by the FraLc-Tireurs, to that one of exploring
the country heretofore practised by the German
light horsemen. These fellows secure a guide, and
proceed to some lonely pathway where a Prussian
outpost is stationed, or where small bodies of the
enemy may be expected to pAss. As the guide and
Freeshooters are on their way to the selected position
th-y assume the appearance of hawkers, but
on arrival at the ambuscade a mysterious
collection of articles is drawn from a carpet bag,
and these, when fi,ted together, make a rifle. A
watch is kept for the next party of Prussians,
and when they approach, the commanding officer is
shot down. In few cases do these freeshooters
"shoot down Prussians indiscriminately." They
look out "for the choice morsels."

TILE FORTIFICATIONS OF PARIS.

The Fortifications of Paris Bill, which was intro-
duced in 1840, gave rise to a very protracted discus-
sion, and there was considerable disagreement of
opinion as to the expediency of surrounding the city
with defensive works. The Oppositionists held that
the notion of sustaining a siege in Paris,
and of exposing the Capital of the civilised
world to the horrors of an assault, was
insensate, and asked how it was possible that whole
legions of men could be got to occupy all the points
of the enceinte. Even if they could be got together
it would be impossible to feed them, without taking
into consideration the inhabitants of the sur-
rounding neighbourhood, who would, in the
event of a siege, take refuge within the walls.
It was further urged that it would be impos-
sible to keep such an enormous mass of people
in order, mid that the French soldiers were more
fitted for attack than defence. On the other hand,
the defenders of the scheme argued that the fortifi-
cations would prevent such a calamity as a siege. As
the result of modern strategy engendered by the
French revolution, France was, of all the European
States, most exposed to an enemy, and Paris fortified
in the manner proposed would, have the effect
of confining the war to the frontier. The
idea that an army of 200,000 or 300,000
strong beseiging the city could live a month
berore the defences, was scouted, and the difficU ties

which such an enemy would have to contend against
in the way of bringing up siege artillery, maintaining
his communications, and provisioning its forces, were
strongly represented. The discussion of the scheine
lasted bix weeks, and the Bill was carried by a ma-
jority of 147 against 85.

TILE FRENCH PRESS ON THE CAPITULATION.

The Constitutionnel of the 29th, though published at
Tours the day after the date of Gambetta's circular, says
nothing of the capitulation, and very little about Metz in
any way. It is uncertain, it says, whether or not Bazaine
has made a fortunate sortie. In Normandy the news of
the surrender has excited the greatest indignation. At
Rouen, after the first surprise, violent anger was
displayed. The words "crime," " treason," " cowardice,"
were on every lip ; and alt through the department the
same feeling was manifested. The Journal de Rouen
says :—"That which appeared to us impossible, which
we energetically refused to believe yesterday, is to-day a
mournful reality. Metz has capitulated. Marshal
Bazaine his surrendered at the heal of 150,000 men. Twice
in this war, undertaken in so culpable a manner by Napo-
leon 111., we have seen military disasters of which
hiStory has furnished no example, and which
might have been thlught less possible in France
than in any other country. The Journal de Rouen, how-
ever, urges the people tJ action. It endorses the senti-
ment of the governmental despatch, and says that the
people restrained themselves with difficulty from uttering
a unanimous cry of vengeance. Le Ilavre declares
the catastrophe has rendered peace more im-
possible than ever. France will fight with
the fury of despair. Whatever fate be reserved for that
unfortunate country, there is one future that she will
never accept, that of infamy, for it would be an inefface-
able disgrace for the French name to sanction by a
cowardly treaty the rights of force. The Memorial d'Amiens
says--" We silence our sorrow, we control the thoughts
which assail us. We never understood the capitulation
of Sedan. We understand that of Metz still less. A
hundred thousand men surrendering themselves I Until
now that W4lB not French. Let us wait till light be
thrown on it. Is everything lost? No. Paris is there to
chew bow to free oneself or how to die, and not only
Paris but France rebels against slavery, and is too proud
to submit to a peace which is dishonourable. Paris and
France still bear their flag high, despite the sanguinary
violence of the King of Prussia, and the shameful capitula-
tions of the;r accomplices."

IRELAND AND HOME GOVERNMENT.

Lord Clancarty has given in his adhesion to
the movement for Home Government for Ireland.
The recent "violation" of a condition of the Act of
Union, by the disestablishment of the Irish Church,
removes, in his lordship's opinion, what might other-
wise have been with a.
.member of the Protestant
Establishment an objection to moving for
its repeal. But now the Protestants are
as free as the Roman Catholics have always been
to do so. The Union has failed to produce the
benefits promised from it, and a comparison between
the condition of Ireland and England is humiliating
to the former, whilst it is discreditable to the Im-
perial Government. One fact alone may account
for the difference between the two countries, and that
is that England is governed by those who are
intimately acquainted with her interests, whilst Ire-
land is powerless to obtain from ministers that atten-
tion which she needs. Lord Clancarty approves of
the proposition of a federal instead of a legislative
union with England, inasmuch at it would render
Ireland far more independent in respect of her
Government than she would be if she were replaced
in the relation to England in which she stood before
the Union. his lordship suggests that pending the
proposed chave a general committee, composed of
the Irish members of the House of Commons and of
Irish Peers having seats in Parliament, should meet
in Dublin a mouth or six weeks before the opening
of the session to report upon private bills, in order to
reduce the cost and trouble and unsatisfactory
results now attendant upon the prosecution of private
measures.

STATE OF VIONVILLE.

A. letter in the Echo du Nord says Vionville is not
surrounded, and up to the present has not been
threatened with bombardment In all probability
no bonabardment will be attempted, as the Prussians
have not a single piece of cannon in the neighbour-
hooi. The town is well provisioned, and the in-

habitants want tor nothing.
L'lndependant de l'Ouest says an entrenched camp
is about to be established near Couliboeuf, for the
concentration of the Army of Brittany.
It is announced that M. Nachet, Dean of the
Chambre das Requetes of the Court of Cassation,
has been condemned to death by the Prussians in,the
Department of the Aisne, in consequence of a shot
having been fired from his property.

THE THAMES EMBANKIIENT.

Lord ELCIIO asked the First Commissione'r of Works
• whether, in pursuance of the recommendation of a Select
Committee of last session, it was his intention to bring in a
bill to relieve the Metropolitan Board of Works from the
obligation to construct a viaduct on the Thames Embank-
ment from Llung:!rford Badga to Wellington-street, Strand;
and whether, "hav►ng regard to the improvement of the
metropolis, and a security against its further disfigurement,"
he inteuded, is accordance with a further recommendation
of the select committee, to recommand to Parliament that
the Standing Orders Le amended, so "that whenever any
pupae company or corporate body applies for t'arttamentary
powers to enable it to execute any works or erect any build-
ings in the metropolis, or to raise money for the execution
or erection of such works and buildings, it should, before
coming to Parliament, deposit at the office of the Commis-
sioners of her Majesty's Works and Public Buildings, plans
and elevations, designs, or models, in like manner as railway
companies were now obliged to deposit plans and sections at
the Board of Trade ?"

Mr. AYRTON said when the question was before the
House last session, he expressed an opinion that the street
would never be made if sanctioned. Since that time he
had been appointed to the office he at present held, and hehad
written a letter to the Metropolitan Board of Works calling
their attention to the matter, and stating, if it was their be-
lief that it would be for the interests of the ratepayers that
the proposal should be abandoned, and a bill could be in-
troduced for that purpose, and such a bill had been accord-
ingly prepared. With respect to the second portion of the
question he had also addressed to the Board a letter calling
their attention to the recommendation of the committee, and
further, whether it was desirable to alter the functions of
the Board, was a matter that would require great considera-
tion, and such a matter was not under the consideration of
the Government. A report from the Metropolitan Board bad
been received, and it would be placed upon the table of the
House.

DREADFUL COLLIERY EXPLOSION.
fitiCf3 OF THIRTEEN LIVES.

An explosion of firedamp took place at the
Morfa Collieries, near Neath, yesterday morning.
I'he bodies of several mett hat'd been recovered, and
upwards of twenty more remain in the pit. The
coal seams are on fire, and the danger of a second
explosion is consequently imminent. The works
belong to the Messrs.

The following general order, issued from the
Horse Guards, was yesterday promulgated at Wool-
wich :—" General and other officers commanding
at stations will call upon the non-commissioned
officers and men now serving in the Commissariat
Staff Corps, Military Store Staff Corps, and Pur-
veyor's Branch of the Army Hospital Corps to
volunteer for the Army Service Corps, on the con-
ditions of the Royal Warrant dated November 12,
1869. The rate of working pay will be deter-
mined by the local Controller in accordance with
the scale in the instructions annexed to the Royal
Warrant. Non-commissioned officers will be trans-
ferred to the Army Service Corps in the rank they
hold at the period of volunteering, and will be
classified in each rank according to the date of ap-
pointment to that rank. The medical unfitness
of volunteers for general service should be certified
by a medical Board. Mils to be forwarded with as
little delay as possible to Assist.-Controller Eve-
legh, C. 8., Staff Officer, Army Service Corps, 109,

TIPPERARY.

The writ for the replacement of the lost legisla-
tive treasure has arrived, and so far there is some
prospect of peace. Mr. Heron has issued his address,
and as yet he is the only candidate. He advocates
his former platform of fixity of tenure, denomina-
tional education, and an amnesty to the Fenian
prisoners. The party are sanguine of a return
nem con.; but it will be well to avoid
too great confidence, for the Fenians (the
real Fenians as Mr. Disraeli calls them) may try
another coup. The Irishman is doing its best to
lash itself and the Tipperary electors into fury,
by declaring that the seat belongs to Rossa; but if
the convict be the only opponent of Mr. Heron, the
seat will go to the latter, let Jeremiah poll what
votes he may.

EXPORT DITTIES ON RICE IN INDIA.

The merchants of Calcutta were not satisfied with the
reply of the Government of India concerning the abolition
of the export duty on rice. They were told that the levy
might probably be removed at the end of the next
financial year. The Chamber of Commerce has pointed out
that this state of uncertainty will make shippers hold back
and it may therefore be found that the refusal of Govern •
ment to give now the hoped-for relief, based as that refusal
is solely on financial reasons, has after all been attended
with little advantage to the revenue of the State, although
with " material inconvenience " to all interested in the
trade. A request has therefore been made that should
these duties be remitted after April next, the remission
may have retrospective effect, and that a declaration to
that effect be issued.

THE CRYPT

Lord E. BRUCE asked the First Lord of the Treasury
whether some arrangement could not be made for the cele-
bration of divine service in the Crypt of St. Stephen's, now
perfectly ready for that purpose, once on Sundays during
the session of Parliament?

Mr. GLADSTONE considered it rested rather with the
House of Commons than with Government to ilii3Ulllo the
initiative. i

THE SERPENTINE.

Mr. D. NICOL asked the First Commissioner of Works
whether the levelling and purification of the Serpentine
were being done by contract; and, if so, what date was
fixed for the completion of these works?

Mr. AYRTON said the work was being carried on under
contract, and by the 15th April is was expected to be com-
pleted.

THE CAB REGULATIONS.

Mr. BOWRING asked the Secretary of State for the Home
Department whether, having regard to the prevailiug un-
certainty as to the exact nature of the new cab regulations
in the metropolis, he would consider the propriety of forth-
with issuing and euforcing regulations whereby, in the case
of all disengaged cabs, whether on authorised stands or uot,
the public might before hiring them have positive means of
knowing, both by daytime and after dark, the rates of fare
chargeable ?

Mr. BRUCE said that cabmen were a hotly which required
time to move them. He should not insist upon the regula-
tion preventing crawling at certain hours during the day.
Mr. D. NICHOL asked what was to be done with respect
to cabs carrying lamps?
Mr. BRUCE said he found it would cost at least a to
provide each set of lamps, and he did not think it worth
while to incur such an expense, and that it would be far
better to direct their attention to providing a better class of
cabs and horses.

They have issued a circular to collectors, calling upon them
to report any improvements which may have takenplacein
the production of silk in their various districts.
The collectors of Corinbatore and Salem are to
be specially consulted as to the possibility of
inducing the ryots in the more elevated portions of
their districts, which border on Mysore, to adopt mulberry
cultivation on an extended scale, and acquire the art of
rearing silk worms. The question of establishing a silk
worm breeding establishment under the direct manage-
ment of Government officials, is also mentioned in the
reports.

TLIE BUDGET.

Mr. CANDLISH asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer
if, as an early rcduction of duties on articles of import was
expected, and as delay and uncertainty was likely to lessen
the revenue and embarrass importers, he would fix an early
dly on which he would make his firancial statement; and if
he couldnow fix a day for that purpose ?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could not
sly at what period the Budget would be introduced, neither
could ha arswer hypothetical questions. He hoped to be able
to get the Budget over before Easter.

A NEW INDIAN PORT.

Before long there will be a new Indian port, that of
Morrell-gunge, 150 miles east of Calcutta, situated in the
Bay of Bengal. It is the outlet of the rice-producing
districts, easily approached, and has a good anchorage for
ships of large burden. It has been visited by a party
from Calcutta, representing commercial interests,
who considered its future prosperity undoubted. Morrell-
gunge will also serve as a port in which a vessel can run
when there is no time to make for Calcutta or Chittagong.
It is situated in the centre of the rice district, in which the
maximum consumption of salt takes place, so that ships
bringing out Liverpool salt are sure, not only of a ready
disposal of their freight. but of a nrofitable return cargo in
rice.

THE THO.RNCLIFFE WORKS.

The works and collieries belonging to Messrs.
Newton, Chambers, and Co., and the, scene of the
late disgraceful riots, are situated midway between
Sheffield and Barnsley, and rank among the largest
in the West Riding. The production of ironstone in
1868 was not less than 18,000 tons, but coal is the
principal mineral worked, some 300,000 tons per annum
being yielded. The well-known "Silkstone " seam
is worked at three pits. This description of coal
usually has a good demand in London and other
markets, but the late dispute has had the effect of
causing a great reduction in the amount sent to the
metropolis. In 1868, 51,937 tons were sent ; in
1869, on account of the dispute, only 17,582 tons
were forwarded. Mr. John Chambers, in giving evi-
dence before the Coal Commission appointed by the
House of Commons, stated that the firm generally
employed about 2,000 persons, the wages amounting
to froni £1,600 to-22,000 weekly. In one colliery a good
miner could make from Bs. 11d. per day of eight
hours to lls. ld. In another the men earned Bs.,
10s., 125., and 14s. per day, and they struck for an
advance of 5 per cent. on those wages. The firm
in
tellectual
welfare not been unmindful of the moral and
welfare of the families of those in their employ, for,
although there are schools in all the villages around,
Mr. Chambers stated that himself and partners sup,
ported two schools themselves, in addition to which
they had been instrumental in building one Church
of England church, two Wesleyan churches, and two
chapels in the immediate districts in which the works
are situate.

EMIGRATION.

Sir J. LAWRENCE asked the Under Secretary of State
the Colonies whether azaJleshatchos had recently

arrived from the Governor of western Australia upon the
subject of free emigration to that colony, or referring to the
fact that convicts had been received solely on the condition
that an equal number of free emigrants should be
sent out at the expense of the Imperial Government ?
and, whether, at the present condition of the labouring
population of England, the Government were prepared to
take steps for sending out the number of free emigrants to
complete the arrangements made with the authorities of
Western Australia ?

Mr. MONSELL said last year an arrangement had been
made with the Governor of West Australia on the subject,
and lately a despatch had been received on the subject, which
was now under the consideration of Earl Granville, but he
was afraid it did not contain any vetv definite information
on the subject.

QUALIFICATIONS FOR HANGMEN.

The retirement of Calcraft through "age and infir-
mity " calls to mind that other occasion some years
ago, when tho illustrious official was well nigh
dismissed. Although the matter was only talked ot,
some twenty or thirty epistles were received, asking
for the place. One gentleman expressed a hope that
he might be able to do the work well
" with the blessing of Providence ;" another
thought he could " do the job for two pound a week."
A third--most remarkable of all—wrote only these
memorable words, "Honnered Sur, I am a Boocher."
Was it possible to say more in so short a space ?

FACTORY DISCIPLINE.

A remarkable piece of civilisation was rehearsed
at the Ilford Petty Sessions on Saturday. The
forewoman of a jute factory at Barking was
summoned for flogging a girl about 15
years of age. It appears that the girls in these
factories are employed at separate frames in parties
of four or five each ; and the rule is that the girl who
is last in finishinc, her work at any particular frame
receives ten or ac.dozen strokes with a two-toot strap;
the end of which is cut into strips so as somewhat to
resemble a cat o'nine tails. The victim in question
has twice received castigation at the hands of
the forewoman. However, it was pleaded on the
other side that the floring was the " custom of the
establishment ;" the girls' know what they were going
to get before they commenced work. The magis-
trates took this view of the case. The girl had "no
reason to complain," if she consented to the
punishment beforehand. Whether she would
have had any reason to. complain if she
had consented to decapitation beforehand does not
transpire. The Factory Acts have familiarised us
with the principle that it is not legal to overstep
certain limits, no matter who may consent to it.
Certainly beating girls because they are last with
their work—a condition which makes it matter of
certainty that some one must be beaten—looks bar-
barous. But the Ilford magistrates have set that notion
right.

REGIU\I DONITIre

M. DAWSON asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland
whether there would be provision made in the estimates of

Lum grant to non-conforming ministers in Ireland, the
Act of I'm Lament passed last session not coming into opera-
tico till the date of January, Ist, 1871?
Mr. C. FOIITESCUE said Government did not intend to
prt,pase any such vote for the Regium Donum or other such
small grants durins the present year, and the arrangements,
he believed, would be in harmony with the feeling of the
great body of Presbyterians in Ireland.'

THE TELEGItAPIIS.

There is another break-down of telegrapnic com-
munication. The gale of the last day or two, and
the snow which has fallen in some parts of the
country, have seriously affected the wires. About noon
yesterday the following wires leading out from
London ceased to be in working order :—Three to
Liverpool, three to Brighton, one to Bristol, four to
the South-eastern district, one to Ely,one to Cambridge,
two to Newmarket, three to Hull, two to Newcastle,
two to Glasgow, two to Edinburgh, four to Leeds,
three to Birmingham, two to Manchester, and one
to Ireland. Many branch lines too must be out of
order, -though to what extent is not known. Com-
munication with the Continent is also interrupted.
'fm STRIKE IN TILE IRON DISTRICT.
•

A. full copy of the agreement that has been come
to between masters and men in the North of England
iron district has been published by 111 r. Thomas Hughes,
M.P.. who signed it on Friday evening as president
(pro tea:) of the Board of Arbitration. Its
chief principles may be described as effect-
ing a compromise of all the questions at
issue. The ironmasters have given the advance of
wages claimed by the men, on the one hand; the
men, on the other, have waived their claim for cer-
tain extras, which used to be paid in the district be-
fore the great strike of 1866, and have agreed to bind
themselves for a whole year, though they evidently
believe (rightly or wrongly) that there will be a rise
of prices in the summer which would have
entitled them, but for the present settlement, to a
further rise. This is the statement of alTairs given
by Mr. Hughes in the Pall Mall Gazette. He dis-
claims the credit of the arrangement, having sat at
the court as president, and not as arbitrator. He is
eminently pleased with the results obtained, and is
sanguine that the North of England will not see
another strike in the iron trade.

TRADE OF CALCUTTA.

The Times of India says that there are significant symp-
soms of the waning trade of Calcutta. It is really a seri-
ous thing for the merchants that not even the heavy
freights ruling there should be sufficient to attract
an adequate amount of tonnage. Vessels can afford to go
to other ports with cargoes atlowrates,but they are loth to
have anything to say at Calcutta. The Hooghly is far
too heavily weighted in the race ; and the vested interests
had better see to this in time. The present is the com-
mencement of a new era in Eastern commerce ; and it
behoves Calcutta to be up and doing, lest the new trade
routes that must soon form, lead away from, instead of
towavls. the capital.

THE TRANSLATION OF THE BIBLE.

The Earl of Shaftesbury strongly protests, in a
letter to the Times, against any revised translation
of the Scriptures. There is no revision needed, as
the entire Bench of Bishops testified in Convocation;
for when Dr. Thirlwall declared that no altera-
tion in the verbal or grammatical construction of the
New Testament would in any way affect the doctrines
held by the Church of England, their lordships
broke into general cries of "hear, hear." The Earl
argues that the English Bible, as altered by the
bishops, will cease to be the Bible, not only of the
Nonconformists, but of the Scotch and Irish Presby-
t3rian Churches ; it would cease to be the Bible
of our brethren in the United States of America,
and of every Protestant speaking the English lan-
guage over the entire surface of the globe; and
would, moreover,. lie under the burden, the impor-
tance of which will, of
.course, be variously estimated,
of having the fifty million copies of the Scriptures
hearty, earnest, and general accep-
,rne
iandeyd issued
The b the Bible Society " synodically con-
tame of the authorised version is of inestimable

t; any disruption would produce evils for which
no accuracy could atone.
