THE 0P1171% TRADE.

Tho Calcutta Examiner thinks the Government of India
must prepare itself to derive a much smaller revenue in
future from its opium cultivation. In some parts of China
the struggle between Indian and Chinese opium has
ceased, the latter having obtained an easy victory while the
consumption of the drug has enormously increased. It is
doubtful whether any policy on tho part of the Govern-
ment could enable Indian opium to compete with its
Chinese rival on equal terms. It can only out-
rival the cheap article Ly increasing the
quantity, and thus reducing prices. The gradual nature
of the change will give the Government time to meet it,
and the Eraminer very wisely suggests that it should turn
its attention to the establishment of commercial inter-
course with South-Western China. The natural
wealth of those provinces is great, and their supply
of labour abundant. "It is not too much to say that
Burmah may be peopled and Assam regenerated if the
Government will only set itself to work in earnest to restore
the trade of former days." Whatever the Government may
temporarily lose financially by the diminution of the trade
in opium, it is certain thatmorally it must be the gainer, if
it aims at deriving its revenue from less questionable

PROTESTANT SHORTHAND

What is "Protestant shorthand ?" The Scottish
Reformation Society is teaching it to its members,
and advertising classes for teaching it to young men.
It seems that all the press is under the power
of the Jesuits. The Pope gets all his due ; the
Protestants get nothing. And so the society which
has Dr. Cumming for its chief apostle is now
teaching Protestant young men to take
notes, that "gradually the newspapers of our
day may be emancipated from the yoke
of Jesuitism." Of course, ourselves, being under
the Jesuits as well as all other journalists—the
Times Roman correspondent, and the Pall Mall
Gazette leader writers included—any attempt to
allay the fears of the ultra-Protestants would be
unavailing. We assure our readers, however,
that we are not trying to do what the
founder of these classes says (according
to the Rock), all newspapers are just now
trying to do ; we are not "trying to re-establish
the inquisition," or endeavouring to "get back the
old days of Queen Mary ;" nor do we wish to help
the Jesuits to "rid themselves of their opponents by
a short method as on St. Bartholomew's day in
France." It may be hoped, however, that by teach-
ing young men shorthand those evil days may be
kept off.

FINANCES IN INDIA.

A member of the Calcutta Chamber of Commerce has
been making some severe remarks at the annual meeting
of the Chamber on the financial policy of the government.
When the famine broke out in Orissa some two years ago,
and the Government could not recover any revenue, the
Chamber of Commerce suggested that a loan should be
be raised to meet tho ordinary expenditure. At that time
money was cheap in England, and the money could have
been raised there at 2 per cent. When the war with
Abyssinia broke out, the manager of the Bank of Bengal was
publicly thanked for relieving the Governmentof its pecu-
niary embarrassments. The speaker thought the rate
of discount which the Bank then encouraged was
a fictitious one, and put an end to the industry of the
country. The Times of India thinks it well
that a Calcutta merchant should have called atten-
tion to the "mutual admiration policy" maintained be-
tween the supreme government and the Bank of Bengal,
which produces results unfavourable to the interests of
the general community.

ME PLEASURES OF HOPE.

If British recruits are tempted to enlist by the
hopes of military rewards, it is to be trusted that
they are largely gifted with patience as well as with
bravery, for the English soldier requires the
ono quite as much as the other. The
heroes of the New Zealand campaign of
1840-7 are now, we learn, to be invested with the
badges of distinction then acquired ! That is to say
after a short interval of twenty-three years, during
which more momentous wars have put the old
New Zealand campaign out of most people's
heads, :the survivors of that struggle are t) enjoy
whatever distinction is to be obtained from the
official recognition of their services. The benefits
so gained ought to be very substantial to atone for
the prolonged disappointment of nearly a quarter of a
century. During that time the number of claimants has
probably been considerably lessened, and before the
renewed promise is carried out, Death, which will not
wait the pleasures of Governments, may have
diminished them still further. "England expects
every man to do his duty," may be the motto for
commanders, but it is ;plain that our soldiers and
sailors cannot return the compliment to E .land
without the addition of twenty years to the
se -ta-
Lion.

PURSUIT OF BUSINESS UNDER DIFFICULTIES.

Mr. Haines, a London auctioneer, has been carry-
ing on his business with a nice companion. In
1864 he leased part of his premises to a Mr.
Whitehouse, who re-leased it to Mr. Copeland.
This latter gentleman commenced a series of
extraordinary performances about a year after
he came into possession. He blew trumpets,
jumped over tables, slammed doors, and
threw iron weights against the ceiling. "The
defendant comes out to the foot of the stairs and
blows a trumpet on and off for hours together. Ho
has thrown greasy dirty water with egg shells in it
over the yard from the parlour window, the yard
being no part of his premises." When the windows
were cleaned, dirty water and soap suds were thrown
over them. Water was thrown on the stairs. Mr. Cope-
land sometimes kept five or six people playing fiddles,
trumpets, &c., until the small hours of the morning.
Why these escapades were carried on seems a mystery
but the determination of Mr. Haines not to tolerate 14
years of such treatment is quite intelligible. The matter,
alter being brought before Nisi Prins, has been re-
ferred to the decision of a barrister. Mr. Copeland's
behaviour looks odd, but no doubt it is an effective
mode of getting rid of a business companion who has
become obnoxious.

THE CISLEITHAN MINISTRY.

The Official Gazette of Vienna contains an account of
the two memorials addressed to the Austrian Emperor bf,
the majority and minority of the Cisleithan Ministry, on
the policy that should be pursued towards the claims of
the Autonomists. That of the majority is in favour of a
central scheme, and condemns all extension of the auto-
nomy as prejudicial to the interests of the monarchy.
The memorial of the minority advocates the adoption of
constitutional reforms, and dwells on the dangers of a
policy of resistance.

THAMES.

STEALING TEA FROM THE DOCKS.—Thomas
Tucker, aged 33 years, was brought before Mr.
Lushington, charged with stealing five ounces of
tea in the West India Dock. The prisoner was
stopped as he was leaving the dock by Thomas
Cooke, a constable, and five ounces of tea, valued
at a shilling, were found in his boots. He-said, in
his defence, that he had been at work among the
teas i❑ the warehouse, and the tea fell into his
boats. The constable was of opinion it was im-
possible for more than a fragment or a grain or
,wo of tea to fall under his feet.

Mr. Lushington could not admit the defence, and
sentenced the prisoner to 14 days' imprisonment
and hard labour.

John Macarthy, aged 63 years, a lame man, was
charged with stealing six ounces of tea in the same
dock. He was detected as he was leaving the
dock. He had six ounces of tea concealed about
his person in two parcels in his flannel drawers.
One parcel in paper was made fast behind his
drawers, and the other also in paper tied under his
knee. The prisoner bad met with an accident
while employed in the dock 2 years ago and lamed.
The dock company continued his pay of 15s. per
week, and he did odd jobs about the dock without
being required to do any hard work.
Prisoner said, in his defence, that he picked up
the tea in a corner of the dock where a pile of it
had been swept. _ .

Henry Young, the constable who took the priso-
ner into custody, said that the tea was quite clean.
Mr. Lushington said there might be some doubt
about the last case, but none about this. He sen-
tenced the prisoner to be imprisoned and kept to
hard labour for one month.

LAW AND POLICE.

THE LIABILITY OF " INFANTS " ON SHARES.—An impor-
tant judgment regarding the liability of persons under
twenty-one years of age taking shares in public companies,
was given by the Master of the Rolls yesterday. Tho
matter came before his lordship in a summons in re the
Norwegian Charcoal lion Company (Limited). It ap-
peared that a number of shares in that company had
been taken by a gentleman named Mitchell, and he had
transferred eighty of those to the name of a young man
then in his minority. Mitch( ll hod since died, but the
official liquidator of the company sought to have
the name of the " infant " replaced on the list of con-
tributories by Mitchell's executors. Tho Master of
the Rolls was of opinion that the official liquidator
must fail in his application because the young man
took no steps to repudiate the shares after he attained his
majority. If he had come of age immediately after, or im-
mediately before the winding-up, he need not have sought
to repudiate the shares until some definite course had been
taken to hold him liable, because until that was
clone he would not know how he stood. But
in this case two years elapsed after the transferrer came
of age before the winding up. He was perfectly well
aware of the transfer at the time it took place, and
allowed it to be done; and, therefore, if he had wished
to repudiate the shares he was bound to tell
the company he bad ha l nothing to do with them.
On the other hand, he can call upon thb person for whose
benefit he took these shares to make good to him any sum
he may have to pay on calls, as contributions or the like.
Consequently this young man must be entitled, according
to the conditions of the transfer, to come against Mit.
shell's estate for what he had to pay in the course of
liquidation. This, however, did not prevent him from
being a contributory in his own person.

MR. GOSCHEN'S RELIEF MINUTE.

The working of Mr. Goschen's recent minute on
charitable relief has already begun to show up the
abuses incident to the indiscriminate giving of alms.
In the Poplar Union a Charity Organisation Commit-
tee has been appointed. On examination of the list of
the Rev. Mr. Parnall, of Bow,with that of the guardians,
it was found that the parties had been relieved
by both in ten cases out of thirty. Further returns
no doubt will show that the resources of the habitual
pauper are manifold, and the necessity of more ex-
tended communication between charitable individuals
and the managers of charities.

MR. BRIGHT AND THE IRISH LAND QIIESTiON.

An Ulster landlord and tenant (Mr. Sinclair),
writes to the Standard animadverting on Mr. Bright's
speech on the Irish land question. He com-
plains that the iniquities of the Irish land-
owner occupy all the speaker's ire ; that
once more he holds up to the tenant farmer and
cottier the hope which he well knows the nation will
not ratify, of becoming forthwith the proprietors
in fee of the soil on the mere ground of
occupancy. The writer invites attention to
the fallacy of starting with the assump-
tion that excessive competition for the legitimate
possession of land is the basis of the present agitation.
Ile believes that the Irish peasant sees that he has got a
good thing, which with the assistance of a paix a tout
prix- Government be is determined to hold upon his
own terms. Having gone into statistics, he contends
that he has fairly established the premises that Irish
rents are not too high, that competition is not exces-
sive, and that capital might, with every prospect of a
return, be employed in agricultural improvement in
Ireland.

CHARGE OF FRAUD.—Robert Jones, a man of
tall stature, aged 37, was charged with obtaining
£5 from Mr. Bullock, builder, 219, Ebury-street,
by means of false and fraudulent pretences.
Prisoner went to Mr. Bullock on the 11th inst.,
and represented that he had received a letter from
his mistress, a Mrs. Calender, 123, Ebury-street,
who was in the country ; he was to fetch a box
from the railway station and pay five guineas for
it, and if he had not money enough he was to go to
Mr. Bullock and ask him to let him have some.
Mr. Bullock believed him, and advanced the money,
Mrs. Calender never authorised him to get the
money, and it was entirely fraudulent throughout
the whole of the proceedings.
The prisoner, who had nothing to say, was com-
mitted for trial.

THE MEMBERS FOR BRADFORD.

--4--- I

Mr. Forster and Mr. Miall addressed their con-
stituents at Bradford last evening. The Vice-
President of the Council commenced his speech by
mentioning four questions on which it was ex-
pected that Parliament might legislate in the ap-
proaching session—lrish land tenure, education,
licensing, and the ballot. With respect to the
first, the right hon. gentleman deemed himself
perfectly safe in assuring his hearers that the
Ministry would not swerve from their intention
to do justice to Ireland. He then acknowledged
the fair spirit in which the Opposition had
received the Endowed Schools Bill of last year,
and with respect to " the educational measure of
this year" anticipated a similar absence of party
feeling. Mr. Forster did not disclose any details
of the Government plan, but he expressed his belief
that when it was produced it would command the
attention of almost all of those whose real and
chief object is the education of the people. He also
believed that the measure could be passed this year.
The importance and urgency of the question was
such that no economical or religious difficulty must
be allowed to stand in the way. If the public
money must be spent, no religious differences must
hinder the carrying out of an elementary secular
education.

INDIAN TELEGRAPHS.

The Bombay papers explain that the working of the
Indo-European Telegraph is still unbearably bad, and that
news that came by the mail continues to drop in
in costly telegrams. The Indo-European line has
cost India, it is said, a million sterling, while
the revenue is barely one ler cent. Severe
reductions have been ordered but they are not likely to
cause increased despatch or accuracy. The deep sea line
is being loudly called for by the Anglo-Indians.

OUR MERCANTILE MARINE.

A number of shipowners, merchants, and under-
writers have met at Liverpool and appointed a
committee to make inquiries and consider
matters in connection with the seamen of
our Mercantile Marine, in anticipation of the pro-
posed " Amended Merchant Shipping Act." The
points upon which the committee are chiefly to
inquire are the deterioration or improvement of the
service as regards the physical condition, powers of
endurance, &c., of the seamen, and the means of
making the service more attractive.

THE AUTEUIL CATA ST OPHE

M. Prevost Paradol, the Parisian correspondent of
the Times, takes a very serious view indeed of the
sffects of the Bonaparte homicide. He declares that
the workmen of Paris to a man are kept from actual
revolutionby nothing else than despair of success and
physical fear. The certainty of a bloody defeat with-
out a chance of success alone operates to keep the
peace. " The spectacle of a Bonaparte shooting down
Republican, and waiting evidently for M. Roche-
fort with a revolver ready in his pocket, has told
upon the popular mind much more than eighteen
years of speakinF or writing against the Imperial
system. That kind of event is the fit and proper
language which universal suffrage understands; it ie
like some rude picture—like a sign-post—to i e rereactout, and the sense of which is to be deeply felt by
the most simple hearts. It has reminded everybody
of the Praslin tragedy, which was followed so quickly
by the revolution of February." M. Prevost
Paradol says this is no exaggerated view;
and probably he is right. But he falls into the com-
mon error of painting Prince Pierre Bonaparte as
waiting for Rochefort with a revolver in his pocket.
Rochefort was one of the three principals with
whom the Piince was to fight. Principals never
wait upon each other, and, therefore, the person for
whom the Prince had prepared the revolver could
not have been the arch-satirist of Paris. M. Paradol
believes the prosecution of Rochefort for inciting
the people to revolt will be a most dangerous pro-
cedure.

TP. OPPII ANN.

As the execution of the Pantin murderer Is uxen
for to-day, Tuesday, there is some slight prospect of
hearing the last of him. But the high position he at
present enjoys in public favour is a clear proof that
infamy is attended with advantages of its own. A
cast has been taken of his hand, which is the most
remarkable part of the convict's physiology. his
portrait will be a good speculation, though the
Government has forbidden the portrait of poor
Victor Noir to be sold. Since his sentence 3,826
letters have been addressed to the illustrious
man, and stopped at the post-office. Some of these
epistles are designed to bring the criminal to a sense
of his condition ; but the majority implore him to
reveal. the names of his accomplices. To all appear-

sm IVILFRID LAWSON.

Sir Wilfrid Lawson, Bart., M.P. for Carlisle, has
addressed the Wigton Farmers' Club on the tenure
of land in England and Ireland. Ile says that
so far as he understands the land laws, they are
nearly the same in England and Ireland. It
was said that the Irish Land Bill must be passed for
the purpose of pacifying Ireland; but he had very
little hope that anything Parliament could do would
be successful immediately. There were outrages
in England and in Ireland, the difference
being that, in the one, sympathy was with
the sufferer, in the other with the culprit. He said no
doubt the Government would find out the best means
of securing the interests of those who tilled the soil in
Ireland, and if their remedy should succeed the same
laws could be introduced into England. He contended
that there must be some security that what one man
sowed another should not reap ; they must
encourage the occupier to sow as much as possible.

THE LAND LAWS OF ENGLAND.

Mr. Wren-Hoskyns, M.P., in his essay on the land
laws of England, published by the Cobden
Club, gives two tables in proof of the costliness
of purchasing small parcels of land in this country.
He adduces eight instances where the average
cost to the buyer was 0 per cent. He also cites an
instance, where, upon an investment of £lOO, an ex-
penditure of £23 14s. 3d. was incurred. He con-
siders that the trigonometrical survey of England,
which has been just completed, ought to lend its aid
toward facilitating the transfer of land.

COLONEL HERBERT ON THE REDUCTION OP
THE ARMY.

At the annual meeting of the Shropshire Chamber
Hof Agriculture, Colonel the Hon. Percy Herbert,
M.P., responded to the toast of the army and navy.
He said he was far from advocating extravagance,
but the British nation was warlike. Although
tliey were not pleased to be called upon
to pay heavy taxes, they would be extremely
disappointed if either of the services should not be
found equal to any emergency. He expressed a fear
that there was a tendency to reduce the battalions of
the army to such a condition that the force might be
disgraced without any fault on the part of the officers
or soldiers.

THE WRECK OF TIIE KENILWORTH.

A communication frcm Abersoch, North Wales, informs
As that the lifeboat Mabel Louisa, belonging to the
National Lifeboat Institution has been the means of sav-
ing the this-teen men who ss ere supposed to have been lost
from the ship Kenilwortb, cf Liverpool, which has been
totally wrecked on St. Patrick's Causeway. It appears
that the Barmouth Lifeboat, Ellen went out to the wreck
in a tremendous sea, and while the wind was blowing a
gale from the westward. After a long struggle she got to
it, anchored, and veered alongside, when a communi
cation was effected, and the shipwrecked crew
commenced to lower themselves one by one into
the sea, made fast to lines. By those means eight
of them were safely got into the lifeboat. By this
time the gale had increased and the sea risen fearfully,
when suddenly the rope connecting the lifeboat to the
ship parted, the boat's cable had to be cut, she drifted to
leeward, and all attempts at the time to get back to the
wreck wore unavailing, and the boat had to make for
Peoliheli. When it was reached a messgge was sent to the
Abersoch Lifeboat Station, some distance to windward
coking that that boat might also be sent out to the aid of
those who had been left on board the wreck. Some hours
previously information of a large vessel being in distress
on the Sarn Badrig had reached Abersoch, and the life-
boat was immediately taken out, and cruised about for
some hours in search of the ship. The crew, however,
failed to find it in the darkness,and they returned to shore,
meaning to go off again so as to be at the Sarn at day-
light. The boat, however, was launched again, and after a
careful search for about three hours, the ship was sighted;
the boat's anchor was then let go, and she went alongside.
The thirteen men left on board were then safely got into
the boat. No damage was done to the lifeboat. The Keni-
lworth crew had launched their boats but when they got
them over the side they were immediately smashed to
atoms, that even if they could have got away from their
vessel in them they would undoubtedly have perished in
the midst of the fearful seas. When the Abersoch lifeboat
left the ship she was a complete wreck, being swept 14
every sea. The cargo, it is estimated, is worth £BO,OOO.

THE BRYNMAWR MURDER.

The adjourned inquest on the body of Susannah Evans,
who was found in an outbuilding of the Black Lion public
house, Brynmawr, on the morning of the sth instant, witl,
every appearance of having been murdered, has been re-
sumed. The evidence now given tended further to crimi-
nate the man David Richards, who was last seen
with deceased, and ultimately a verdict of wilful
murder was returned against him. The jury also said
"That the conduct of Thomas Thomas, the landlord, in
turning the woman out of the house, and the conduct of
both him and John Davies in endeavouring to send the
deceased home in the helpless state she was, under the
circumstances, shewed great neglect and inhumanity."
They also censure the conduct of Thomas and his wife,
who refused to admit the woman to their house, when she
said she was perishing, and the conduct of Ebenezer Davie,
in not assisting her was greatly to be blamed.

THE SURPLUS REVENUE.

After showia that our surplus revenue for the last fiscal
year was about, 619,000,000, Mr. Wells gives his reasons
for supposing that it will amount this year to at least
$124,000,000. The possession of a surplus su large invests
with more than ordinary interest the question of its dis-
position. Shall the whole of this sum be applied to the
reduction of the principal of the national debt, or shall a
fair proportion of it be remitted to the people by the abate-
ment or removal of their taxes ? Of these two courses the
commissioner declares that the latter is the more expedi-
ent - if indeed it is not absolutely imperative; demanded
alike by the highest economical considerations and by the
almost unanimous sentiment of the people. With this
view he proposes that the sum of 50 millions be taken as
ttio moeacre of the Wiwi to Do removed or adaced aud

reason of this is that Senor Sella finds it impossible
to prepare the budget by the Ist of February, and
also in consequence of the interruption of public

A sisorLmt CONTRADICTION.

A singular story reaches us from Italy. A " Garibal-
dian Society" has been formed at San Francisco, Cali-
fornia, which makes the extraordinary condition in its pro-
gramme that no Republicans can be members. It is not
surprising that a request to Garibaldi to allow himself to
be nominated honorary president, has elicited the follow-
ing reply :
Caprera, Ist November, 1869.

My dear friends,—Thanks for your kind letter of October
3rd. I cannot give my adhesion to a society from which
Republicans are excluded, for I hold myself honoured to
belong to the purest and the best of institutions—the
Republic.—l salute you affectionately,

IRISH NATIONALITY•

At a meeting held at Hammersmith, to hear
addresses from the borough members, Sir Charles
Dilke discussed the question whether there was an
Irish Land question distinct from anything in this
country. He quoted the Senchus Mor to show
that there was. He said this great body of
ancient knowledge was the code of Ireland
from 440 to the English conquest—the Brehon law,
compiled under the direction of St. Patrick. It all-
peared from this work that the Irish chief and his
tenant were not like the English feudal lord and his
villein, but that both chief and tenant were
treated on equal terms. The honourable mem-
ber proceeded to trace the evils which had
afibcted this relationship from time to time. Among
those of latter growth he specified absenteeism—a
word, on the authority of Dr. Johnson, invented
for Ireland. He then entered at length
into the distinction of race between the
English. .and... and contended that Pro-
fessor Huxley had said.- nothing opposed-, to
the notion that exceptional legislation- was neces-
' eery for Ireland. To say there was no ethnological
difference was to say there was no historical differ-
ence. Sir Charles finally gave it as his opinion that
if the State were to fix the rents of the Irish tenants
in perpetuity, the rise in the value of land, and the
fall in the value of gold, would soon convert the pro-
perties into beneficial holdings.

ALLEGED ILL-TREATMENT OF FENIAN PRISONERS.

The Dublin Evening Mail publishes some corm-
spondence respecting the treatment of the Fenian
prisoners. Mr. Thomas Neilson Underwood wrote to
the Secretary of State calling his attention to
a statement in the Irishman concerning. the ill-health
of Underwbod O'Connell in Chatham Prison, and the
alleged ill-treatment of Burke and others. Mr.
Liddell, under the directions of Mr. Secretary Bruce,
replied to Mr. Underwood, and enclosed a certificate
of the prison medical officer, to the effect
that after a tonic taken for dyspepsia,
O'Connell was in his usual health. With
reference to Richard Burke, Mr. Bruce declined
to authorise an inquiry into the treatment of the
Fenian prisoner "founded on such baseless and ex-
travagant charges as those contained in the
Irishman." Mr. Piggot., of that paper, adheres
to his statement that in December Burke was
utterly broken down in body and mind, and was
quiteimbecile ; that previous to his removal to
Woking Prison he received the last rites of the
Church, believing he was dying. In conclusion, Mr.
Piggot asks Mr. Bruce to deny that Burke is still an
inmate of the hospital at Woking, and that an emi-
nent physician brought specially to examine him the
other day pronounced his mind to be affected.

THE GREAT EASTERN.

Just a shade of uneasiness has been felt about the
Great Eastern, which is now on her way round the
Cape to lay the Indo-European Cable. She left St.
Vincent on the 25th of November, and has not been
heard of since. Captain Sherard Osborne explains
this lack of intelligence on the around that the route
taken by the great vessel is entirely out of the direc-
tion pursued by homeward-hound ships. Five
guineas premium have, however, been paid to effect
fresh insurances. Still, there is yet no real cause fcr
anxiety.
