RETIREMENT FROM THE ARMY.

Mr. GOURLEY asked the Secretary of State for War if
it was correct that field officers of the army who had
retired on half-pay, leaving the full value of their commis-
sions in the hands of the War Office, subject to the right
of selling out before reaching the age of GO years, have had
the said privilege withdrawn irrespective of length of
service.

Mr. CARDWELL said that in 1861 a regulation was issued,
allowing officers to sell their commissions, as long as any
mony remained in the fund, but in consequence of the
reduction of the army, the fund had not been in a condi-
tion to admit of its being continued.
TAX ON REAL PROPERTY.

Mr. FELL asked the First Lord of the Treasury whe.

ther, in case the funds as at present raised by local taxa-
tion were further burdened by the Legislature with
charges for elementary education, her Majesty's Govern-
ment intended to take any and what steps to ascertain,
and, if necessary, to remedy any inequality that may now
exist, or may from the proposed school rate arise, in the
distribution of taxation on real and personal property re-
spectively.
Mr. GLADSTONE said the question of taxation was at
present under consideration, but with respect to what
might become necessary, he could not say.

INDUSDiIAL REGIMENTS.

isation of industry in tee " Mississippi Bottoms "

which aro subject to its overflow. Labour, says
the journal in question has been systemised
so as to realise its highest possible benefits
to all parties. The planters furnish the
land and the teams, the negroes do the work,
and the crop is equally divided, the negrocs reim-
bursing the planter from their share for clothing and
provisions advanced by him, and often, after prc-
viding for immediate necessities, buying of
him a horse, mule, cow, hogs, &c., with
tae balance. The negroes organise them-

PERJURY AND DIVORCE.

The public long ago had more than enough of the
Godrich divorce case ; but the parties in that exem-
plary suit have determined that it will bear a little
more publication. The cross petitions by husband
and wife, both claiming divorce on the ground of adul-
tery, were dismissed on evidence that both had
been guilty. Mr. Godrich then indicted two
of the witnesses against him for perjury, and they
were convicted. Upon this Mrs. Godrich indicted
one of the witnesses against herself for perjury, and
that person also was convicted. It is now stated
that Mr. Godrich is about to indict Mrs. Godrich
for perjury. No doubt the process will be ex-
hausted sometime ; and if Mrs. Godrich indict her
husband, it is not easy to see how the instructive
and amusing sport can be carried on any longer.
But the Lew Times thinks that the proceedings have
already been amply sufficient to prove the necessity
for an amendment of the law relating
to perjury now the favourite resource
of defeated suitors. This, it thinks, might
be effected by requiring the sanction of a
judge before any prosecution for perjury can be
commenced, and enabling the defendant to tender
himself as a witness, if he desires to do so. The Law
Times seems to be of opinion that all the convictions
touching this Godrich case were brought about
through the inability of the defendants to speak for
themselves.

THE CONSCIENCE CLAUSE.

The John Bull states that the Education Com-
mittee of the Convocation of Canterbury has, on the
motion of the Archdeacon of Taunton, affirmed, in a
manner satisfactory to him, that, while Churchmen
may lawfully avail themselves of a Conscience Clause
should they think fit, if imposed on them by the
State, it is not a solution of the question, which
should emanate from the Church.

THE TELEGRAPHS.

Mr. WILLIAM JOHNSTON asked the Postmaster General
whether there was any reason why, during the week end-
ing 12th March, a telegram should have taken seven
hours to go from London to Belfast. And how soon there
was a prospect of the present irregularity and delay in the
transmission of messages to and from Belfast being
terminated.

The Marquis of HARTINGTON said the delay bad been
occasioned in consequence of the wires connecting with
that part of Ireland having been cut. He was sorry to
say further delay would doubtless arise, as an accident
had occurred to the wires between Haverfordwest and
Wexford. They were remeding the defect with the
utmost speed.

ARMORIAL BEARINGS.

Mr. Lowe's determination to be very strict in
gathering the taxes, has raised a variety of questions.
Amongst other things attributed to him was one to
the effect that he would keep a strict look out upon
tradesmen's bill-heads ; and if they used the Royal
Arms or device of any kind he would be down upon
them for the Excise tax on armorial bearings. Ono
tradesman has been so alarmed that he has written
to the Chancellor of the Exchequer asking
whether the news is true. The reply is
re-assuring. "If the use of these devices
be strictly confined to trade purposes the Board will
not insist upon the party taking out a licence to use
armorial bearings in respect of such uses only. It is
to be understood, however, that if any devicas of
the character in question be used on private address
cards, on letter paper for general correspondence, or
in any manner apart from trade purposes, licences to
use armorial bearings must be taken out." Bill heads
suggest tax-papers. Somebody asks why the Govern-
ment does not let out its tax-papers for advertise-
ments. A good revenue might be got in this way.
Why does not Mr. Lowe try it ?

PALACE AND BURLINGTON HOTELS.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was
held yesterday at the Palace Hotel, Buckingham-
gate ; the Hon. G. Ryder in the chair.
Mr. Dempsey, the secretary, read the report,
which stated that the grosi receipts for the half
year had been £17,829 as against £18,387 in the

corresponding period of 1868. After deducting
expenses there remained a net profit of £5,417,
including a balance of £603 as against £4,385 in
the corresponding half year. The directors declared
a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent, per annum.
free of income tax, and a bonus of 4 per cent., leav-
£7ll. The reserve fund was £3,971.
The CHAIRMAN said that the result of the half-
year's working was very satisfactory, for although
there had been a decrease of about £5OO in the
gross receipts, there had been an increase in the
net profits of double that amount, owing to the
economy practised.
Mr. NUGENT seconded the resolution, which,
after some discussion, was agreed to, and a vote of
thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings.

SOUTH AUSTRIAN, LOMBARDY, AND CENTRAL ITALY.
The total traffic receipts on these lines for the
year 1869, on 2,864 miles of railway, amounted to
£5,594,375, or £1,953 per mile; and for the yeat
1868, on 2,652 miles, to £4,956,672, or £1,869 per
mile, showing an increase of £637,703, or 12.1
per cent.

BRAZILIAN STREET (LIMITED).

The receipts for the mouth of November were
25,260 rnilreis (about £2,526), showing an increase
of 6,166 milreis (or £616) over the corresponding
month in 1868. The receipts from the Ist to the
13th of December amounted to 16,200 milreis
(about £1,620).

COUNT BISMARCK.

Count Bismarck has not yet resumed the cares' of office
and the changes which have lately been made in the
Prussian Ministry for Foreign Affairs will tend to decrease
his labours when he returns to his position. The Ministry
for Foreign Affairs has been transferred to the North
German Confederacy, and the Under-Secretary of State
will in future receive the foreign diplomatists, and per-
form the business of a Foreign Minister. Count Bismarck
will keep the title of Prussian Minister for Foreign Affairs
and still exercise a control over the Foreign Department
and Csioather branches of the Federal Government.

CHURCH REORGANISATION IN IRELAND.

The diocese of Down, Connor, and Dromore is
getting on rapidly with the practical work of reor-
ganising the Irish Church. The diocesan synod has
assembled, its discussions have been carried on with
exemplary moderation, and much real business has
been got through. A. resolution has been passed,
that the synod shall consist of three orders—bishops,
clergy, and laity—who shall vote by orders.
In case the bishops dissent from the other two
orders, action is to be suspended till the next meeting,
when, if the motion is affirmed by two-thirds of the
other two orders, it shall be submitted to the
bench for their final decision. It has been agreed
that the power of selecting a clergyman for a benefice
is to be vested in the diocesan board, with appeal to
the bench of bishops if the bishop of the diocese re-
fuse to confirm the appointment.

REPEAL OF THE UNION.
The resolution favouring the repeal of the union
between Great Britain and Ireland, which was re-
cently proposed to the North Dublin Poor-law
Board, has been warmly taken up by the corpora-
tion. Both parties, for the Dublin municipal
government sharply preserves the distinction of
Liberal and Conservative, were enthusiastic
on behalf of this patriotic procedure. The moment-
ous question was first popped to the Poor-law Board
by a Conservative guardian. This gentleman was
eulogised at the Corporation debate as a high-
minded man who had " risen grandly to the occa-
sion" after " flinging aside many perhaps embarrassing
traditions." The motion in favour of repeal was pro-
posed by Mr. Sullivan, and seconded by Alderman
Manning, a Conservative. An advanced Liberal gave
his support to the proposition. Alderman Plunkett,
a Nationalist, charged the Whigs with inflicting
great evil upon the country. A good deal was said
about the necessity of a royal residence, and some
who declared strongly in favour of more attention
from the Crown did not advocate repeal. But, on
the whole, Liberals and Conservatives buried all dif-
ferences and discussed the matter with a harmony
that men on this side of the Irish Sea may well envy
The resolution was passed. •

THE ERIE RAILWAY.

The railway litigation in the United States is still
proceeding, and offers no very satisfactory prospect
to those who wish to extr:elte them-;elves from the
toils of Fisk, Gay, Gould, and others of their class. At the
end of the year these worthies, indeed, obtained a tempo-
rary triumph, which has materially strengthened their posi-
tion. One cf the shareholders of the Erie line brought a
suit against Fisk and his cca,-jutors, and on presenting
his complaint to a New York country judge,
who may be supi osed to have been out of reach
of the machinations of the city, obtained an
injunction removing the conspirators from the manage-
ment. This order was, however, defeated by the
tactics of Messrs. Fish, Gould, and Lane, who obtained
counter orders from other judges. The plaintiff
applied to another court to get these ad-
verse orders nullified, wl en unfortunately the judge
fell ill, and was t, mporalily replaced by one of those
friendly to Erie. This judge, of course, decided that
the order be had himself signed was valid, and that
Ramsey, the plaintiff, had no right of action. Shareholders
who would not look after their interests out of doors
should not, he said, come into court for favours, and they
were the persons to blame if bad directors were chosen.
Consequently Messrs. Fisk and Gould remain at the Board
of Derectors more firmly seated, it is feared, than ever.

WOMAN'S RIGHTS.

Those persons who uphold the equality of the
sexes theory may find an excellent argument in their
favour in - a story,which comes from the Far West.
In April, 1607, a family of seven daughters,
with an invalid father and an invalid
mother, settled on a farm in Minnesota.
The ground was a rude and uncleared plot. Tho
sisters, however, set to work and did all the clear-
ing, fencing, sowing and cultivating with their
own hands. With the exception of rail-splitting
and ploughing the cleared land, the seven
women accomplished everything themselves.
Their reward was proportionate. Of last
year's crop they managed, after providing for
their own consumption, to sell 900 bushels of
potatoes, 500 bushels of corn, 200 bushels of wheat,
250 bushels of turnips, 200 bushels of beet, 1,100
heads of cabbage, and over 200 dollars' worth of
garden stuff. Nor are the witching seven of the rough
semi-man type. They have received a good educa-
tion, and, in addition to their arduous labours, find
time to read books and papers. "We are too poor,"
says the mother, "to get on together and live in a
town, but here we have become more comfortable and
independent."

GOVERNMENT PROPERTY RATEABLE.

The Ministry has, it is rumoured, determined to
bring in a bill rendering all Government property
rateable. The announcement will cause the sincerest
satisfaction in all districts where Government works
aro located. And with reason ; for the measure will
in many places materially reduce the poors rate. The
exempiion which has hitherto been claimed on
behalf or State property is, in fact, a tribute levied
for- the whole nation on a few. Such an arrange-
ment is obviously unfair. Government works are
not always blessings so great that those districts
which contain them should have to pay for them. If
the State becomes a holder of properly it should
take upon itself all the duties of that position. Other-
wise the few pay for the many.

THE CASE OF MR. MUNZINGER.
Further testimony is tendered from auti oritativo
sources respecting the great services rendered to the
Abyssinian expedition by Mr. Munzinger, late British
Consul at Massowah, and of the injustice of permit-
ting him to remain in his present state of distress.
Mr. Munzinger was of exceptional use to the Abys-
sinian field force, but he not only received no compen-
sation for this extra labour, but has actually lost his
consulship at Massowah. One gentleman, who was
connected with the expedition from first to last,
says :—" M. Munzinger was the medium of com-
munication with the captives during the whole of
their detention by Theodore, and his knowledge of
the country (after a residence of some fourteen years),
its people and their dialects, was, as may be supposed,
of the greatest use to the pioneers of our army and
those who planned the campaign." Considering that
Mr. Munzinger is a good geographer, is well ac-
quainted with the three Abyssinian dialects, besides
Persian and Arabic, and five European languages, it
will be strange, indeed, if some suitable post cannot
be found for him.

HAYTI AND CUBA.

The Neu" York Herald of the Ist gives news received
from Hayti the day previous, bearing date the 20th
December. The Revolutionists' war steamers, after trans-
porting troops to Goave, returned and blockaded
Port-au-Prince. An attack on the port was made both
by sea and land on the night of the 18th ult.,
when the land forces entered the city, driving the
enemy before them in confusion. The revolutionary
forces took possession of the city, while the vessels
captured the Algonquin, Salnaves's war vessel, all the
occupants being asleep. Salriave himself was in the city,
but escaped to Fort Alexander, one of the highest points
on the western side. He was in great peril but it was
expected that the Consuls would protect him. The people
of the city were rejoicing. From Havana we have
accounts to the 31st December, when a sharp en-
gagement had occurred between the Imperial
troops and the insurgents, twenty of the latter being
killed, and sixty-six wounded. A quantity of ammunition
and of provisions was also captured. The insurgents had
burnt another plantation. Private despatches received at
Washington announce the surrender of several detach-
ments of insurgents, and state that the Cuban cause is
daily growing weaker. Valmaseda reports that 700
men, with their officers, laid down their arms, and that
the chief, Coca, and all his men had surrendered in
Remedios.

BRITISH COLUMBIA.

A telegram from IVa lington announces that on the
11th of January a resolution 1V8.9 introduced into the
Senate to inquire into the expediency of transferring
British Col,mbia to the United States as a condition of
a treaty for the settlement of the differences between
America and Er. ;lend. A despatch from IVaAlin,?,•on of
the 30th u'.t., which apyeared in the .Neic York Herald,
says that Vincent Colyer has handed to President Grant
a memorial from Victoria in favour of the transfer
This mill be followed by more of the same character
from Nanimo and other places. The President has
returned to Mr. Colyer a verbal reply that ho had read the
memorial with great interest and sent it to the Secretary
of State. Mr. Colyer also Chewed the memorial to Senator
Sumner, chairman of the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions, who, after reading it, said the movement
was important, and could have but one termination. The
memorialists are unwilling that their colony should be joined
to the dominion of Canada, believing that such a change
would not be to their advantage. They request that
the President will endeavour to induce her Majesty to
consent to the transfer of the colony to the United
States

MR. ODGER.

There can be no doubt, it seems, of Mr. Odger's
claim to rank as an actual working man, and not
merely a representative of the artisan class. It has
been said that he employed hands, and derived an
income of £3OO a year from his business. This, as
was explained at en Odgerite meeting just held, is
erroneous. Mr. Odger's son has a shoemaker's shop,
and he himself rents the house.

The case of Dr. Colenso is, the Church Herald
states, a„crain to be raised in our courts—this time by
Bishop Colenso himself. lle appeals to the Crown
against the consecration of the Bishop of Maritzburg.
By this new trial the question will be decided, which
is the schismatic, the Bishop of Natal or Mr. Mac-
rorie. Party feeling is running very high in the
diocese.
