RAILWAY ENTERPRISE IN GREECE.

The recent harrowing events in Greece are drawing
the dispassionate mind to consider whether the
31assic land may not afford another illustration of
the proverb that out of evil cometh good.
chat the cause of the barbarism which surrounds the
zapital of that country is to a great extent the mise-
rable state of its highways, has long been felt, and any
individual enterprise which may improve this state of
things will, there is little doubt, be rewarded by a moral,
tf not a great pecuniary, success. Sir E. W. Watkin,
to a letter, Niers to the practicability of au
extension of railway enterprise in Greece.
He says he was one of the small English
party who provided the money for making
the first railway in Greece from the Piraeus to
Athens, and from the Illyssus to the ancient water-
ing places of Thalerum. He suggests that there
should be a cheap railway from Athens to Lake
ropolias, with a small steamer placed
m the lake, and that five hundred miles
-if common roads, with blockhouses at specified.
distances connected by telegraph, should be macte
diverging from Athens as a centre. The cost
of this he estimates at some £600,000, fin
which sum, he says, Greece and all its hidden
historical treasures, and all its vast mineral
and other resources, would be opened up to the world
and to industry and capital. The difficult question
in Sir Edwin's mind seems to be the old one of who
" shall bell the cat."

M. ()ELMER ON REACTION.

M. 011ivier is very anxious to remove the sus-
picions which lurk in the public mind. Frenchmen
are apprehensive that a pretext will be
made of the conspiracy to adopt reactionary
measures, and the Prime Minister has seized
the opportunity given him by an article in the
Moniteur to reassure them on the subject. Read, he
says, the accounts of the public meetings now
being held in Paris, and then say whether
any other Government in Europe would allow
such language to be used against it.
A.s for reaction, who speaks of it ? The
Government has said to the people, "'We will have
neither reaction nor revolution, but liberty." No one
has replied " Reaction," though some have answered
" ReiTolution," but there is no ground for fear. Liberty
can be imperilled only if the people receive the plts-
- with coldness ; but if, as M. 011ivier believes,
it is voted by an immense majority, liberty will be
irrevocably established under the safeguard of Napo-
leon. Such, at least, is the opinion of M. Ernie
011ivier.

GEORGE ELIOT'S NEW POEM.

George Eliot has contributed to Macmillan of the
current month a new poem entitled " The Legend
of Jubal." The title of the poem almost
conveys an idea of the character of the
work, especially in the hands of such a sweet ginger
as George Eliot. Jubal, the musician, one of the
sons of Cain, desires to work before the night comes
on. He therefore makes a lyre, and goes amongst
the tribes and teaches music. In a while the
earth is so full of the things of his making that he
determines to seek the mountains. He travels,
making new songs on the way until he sights the
ocean, and here is the period when the poem
culminates in the highest effort of the poet. New
voices come to him, from the " panting sea which sobs
as if it stored all life to be":

" But song grows weaker and the heart must break
For lack of voice or fingers that can make
The lyre's full answer : nay, these chords would be
Too poor to speak the gathering mystery.
The former songs seem little, yet no more
Can soul, band, voice with interchanging lore-
Tell what the earth is saying unto me :
The heart is too great, I hear confusedly."

CATHOLIC LOTTERIES.

The members of the Scottish Reformation Society
having been lately a good deal perturbed about
Catholic lotteries, have done as most other
malcontents do, and carried their grievances
to the Government. Unlike many such ap-
plicants, however, they have succeeded in
carrying their object, at least to a certain
extent, though it has required the full exercise
of their national characteristics of energy
and perseverance to do so. Six letters
of varying length, one of them with a
formidable enclosure, have been rained upon the
Home Office, until Mr. Liddell gave way, and recog-
nising that a Scottish Reformation Society was
an unconquerable antagonist, agreed to grant
their wishes. Setting aside the national religious
prejudice, which probably had something
to do with the extreme dislike and apprehension ex-
hibited by these gentlemen with respect to Catholic
lotteries, there is no doubt they have reason as well
as law on their side. The mischievous effects of the
lottery system are painfully apparent on the
Continent, where such things are openly
tolerated, and the facts brought forward
by the Scottish Society prove that it is becoming in
some measure established among ourselves. It is,
therefore, in every way desirable that it should be
checked, and Mr. Liddell has only observed the law,
in giving notice to the projectors of such entertain-
ments that they cannot be sanctioned or even
tolerated.

THE MINT.

Mr. DIXON asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether the Mint had lately received, or tendered for, an
order for coinage from a South American Government;
and, if so, at what price.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was
quite true that they had entered into arrangements
for the coinage of the Republic of Uruguay. The
engagement was, however, only provisional, and therefore
he could give no information with respect to the prison.
He thought it better to enter into those engagements
rather than keep the men at the Royal Mint idle. They
were ready to enter into the same arrangements with
other States, and as private coiners had never worked
either in gold or silver there would be no competition with
private firms ; but with regard to bronze these would be
done to a limited extent.

FLORENCE, May 5.

The Chamber of Deputies approved in to-day's

to yesterday.
Signor Farini laid before the House the report of
the Budget Committee on the War estimate.

The Gazette says that the report proposes a saving
of five millions of lire, without reducing the cadres
or the actual strength of the army.
The Reforma mentions a rumour to the effect that
the Tobacco Monopoly Company has come to an
arrangement with the Minister of Finance in refer-
ence to the proportion due to the Government, which
is fixed at 65 millions of lire.

The mission which "Our Ocean Highways" has to achieve
is to afford Travellers OF ALL NATIONS a means, in the
simplest and readiest of forms, that of the alphabet, to find
their way, safely and easily, over the whole world.
The success already obtained by the first annual, for 1870,
is a guarantee for the future. The whole British Press have
applauded the enterprise; many American and .Continelital
Journals have encouraged and sympathized with the move-
ment, which is international, and made in the best interests
of all countries.

The host of elaborate special Handbooks and Guides
which abound at the Railway Stations give many minute
details to which a condensed Gazetteer of the World, in a
moderate-sized volume, cannot lay claim. But what it does
claim is, that it contains every necessary particle of Tra-
velling and Commercial information, derived from the best
and original sources.
It is a matter of just pride and congratulation that all the
great Ocean Steamship Companies, and many eminent Coin-
mercial Shipping Firms, have cheerfully acceded to the
E dtor's• application to forward Printed Forms of Ques-
tions to their Correspondents and Agents all over the globe
for reply.
Many of the home and continental ports have already sent
in the requisite information ; those more remote will all be
in time to have the latest authentic intelligence inserted in
the next annual volume, which will be published on the Ist
of December next, so as to be received and utilised by the
Ist day of the New-year iu almost every part and city of
the globe.
It will embody au amount of topographical, statistical,
commercial, railway, and shipping intelligence, such as can-
not be found in any other publication. A valuable addition
will be a FOREIGN PORTS' DIRECTORY, containing the names
of British and American Ministers, Consuls and Vice-Con-
suls, Clergymen of all denominations, Phisiciatte, 134131%
Matragers- nett= to don —li Chief Merchinis,
Ship Brokers and Shipping Agents, Lloyd's Agents, News-
papers and Editors, Hotels and Proprietors; in short, no
labour or expense is being spared to render the work of
paramount universal utility.
Our Ocean Highways" Monthly Supplement, incorpo-
rated with the "Anglo-American Times," the leading organ
of America in Europe, is essentially for the use of passengers
by our great Ocean Steamship Companies. Each number of

give considerable sums, and the Duke of Hamilton
announces that the King of Greece " with
that nobleness of character which has so

events in Greece, and feeling most acutely the
position in which Mrs. Lloyd has been placed, pre-
sented that lady with £l,OOO out of his own private

..tommunity in England are determined to
make most ample provision for Mrs. Lloyd, while
at the same time it will be necessary to insist upon
the full responsibility of the Greek Government to
make every permanent reparation in their power.

IRISH PROTESTANTS ON PRIMARY EDUCATION.

A deputation, specially authorised to represent the
views of a large portion of the Protestant population
of Ireland, attended a special meeting of the London
Council of the National Education League on
Wednesday evening. The Rev. J. E. Berkeley,
who was the spokesman, said that the objects of the
Irish Education League were to support non-
sectarian education in Ireland, to further develops
the non-sectarian principle, and to oppose any change
in the existing national system interfering with that
principle. lt was feared, he said, that, through the
opposing. influences of sections of the Protestant
communities and of the Roman Catholic hierarchy,
a strenuous effort was about to be made for the
purpose of destroying the national system
as a united and non-sectarian organisation,
and of substituting for it a scheme of denomi-
national grants from the public funds, .to
be administered under the direction of the authorities
of each separate Church for the erection and mainte-
nance of purely sectarian schools. What was advo-
cated by those he represented was that religious in-
struction should be given an hour before or after the
ordinary school business of the day, and that a
time-table to that effect should be read. The League
was desirous of co-operating with those who were
labouring to extend the Irish principle to the other
portions of the British Empire, and it looked to them
for co-operation in the struggle impending in Ireland
for education free from the trammels of creed and
sect. Mr. Fawcett, M.P., wished. to point out that
a very insedious proposal had been made in the Uni-
versity Tests Bill introduced by the Government,
and to warn the gentlemen from Ireland that if that

CIVILISED PLEASURES.

The Prince and the Princess of Wales attended a
conversazione given by the Society of Arts on Wed-
nesday evening. The affair was a great success.
That is, there was no moving, breathing, or eating
to be done upon any terms. The refreshment
room was a scene of vain scrambles. The various
courts and galleries were chaotic conglomerations of
suffering humanity. The ladies' trains were mostly
torn, their dresses crushed and mangled. Here were
half a dozen members of Parliament helplessly
whirled about. There was the American Minister
vainly imploring some one to shew him the way to
his carriage. Yonder a bishop and two eminent
deans did unclerical battle for life. Nothing could
be in better style, though a party of Hindoos who
were present seemed thoroughly amazed at the way
in which pleasure is taken in England.

NEW ZEALAND POLICY.

Sir C. B. Adderley, Under-Secretary for the Colo-
nies in the last Conservative Government, supports
the New Zealand policy of the present Ministry. To
the plea that the war in New Zealand—such as it is
—was inflicted on the colonists by tie Home
Government, he answers that the Govern-
ment of New Zealand, just as much as
the Ministry in England, opened the policy which
issued in the. wars. " Now that New Zealand has
complete self-government, can it throw the expenses
incurred by its former Crown Government upon the
taxpayers of England, merely because they are
under the same Crown ; or will these claimants
propose to revive the exploded form of government
and for the sake of the cost give back the freedom ?"
There is no hope, in the opinion of Sir C. B. Adder-
ley, that the war could bo finished by regular troops.
from England. Even if those troops were restricted
to garrison duty, their interference must go to keep
up the contest. The best surety for peace is the
burden of war; let the colonists, therefore, bear it.

WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE.

fhe question whether women shall or shall not have
votesis evidently one which ought not, in Mr. Disraeli's
phrase, `*to decide the fate of Ministries." The divi-
sion of Wednesday afternoon was a complete scramble.
The greater part of those who voted for the second
reading of the Women's Disabilities Bill were un-
doubtedly Liberals; but the proportion of Conserva-
tives was very respectable. The highly anti-
innovation names of Amphlett, Bateson, Birley,
Broderick, Charley, C abitt, Dawson, Eastwick,
Figgins, Dimsdale, and many more, all occur in the
list of those who went with Mr. Jacob Bright and
his fellow Radicals. The Noes are similarly
divided. Most of them are Conservatives, but a
large number of Liberals are also to be found,
including Mr. Bruce and Mr. W. H. Glad-
stone. The Solicitor-General went in favour of the
measure. For the Standard to complain as it does
that the bill passed the second reading through the
weakness of the Government is the grossest unfair-
ness. Party lines were altogether obliterated.
Indeed, there is every reason why the Con-
servatives should support such a measure, for
it is likely that most women will prove Conservatives.
In addition to the 124 and two tellers who voted in
favour of the bill, eleven members paired for it,
making the total number 137. In addition, twenty-
nine representatives who are pledged to wo-
men's suffrage were absent altogether, making a
grand total of 106.

LORD CLARENDON AND THE EGYPTIAN LOAN.
A. very brief correspondence has passed between
the Ottoman Embassy and the Foreign Office
with respect to the loan contracted by
the Khedive. The Sultan, warned by
past experience, is determined not to let his ambi-
tious vassal improve his position in Europe, and has
accordingly protested beforehand against any finan-
cial arrangement which the Porte has not previously
authorised, and which would affect directly or indi-
rectly the revenues of Egypt, or be prejudicial to
the rights which the public treasury of Egypt has
over the private fortune of the Khedive, on account
of the management of the finances of the province.
Lord Clarendon's reply is a perfectly safe com-
position. Her Majesty's principal Secretary
of State for Foreign Affairs acknow-
ledges the receipt of the communication
from Musurus Pasha, and contents himself with a
simple paraphrase of the document so received. It
is evident. that Lord Clarendon does not want to
evoke another Eastern question, and equally evident
that the Porte is quite ready to do anything rather
than allow itself to be superseded by its ambitious
and enterprising vassal.

THE BETTING QUESTION.

"Senex " writes again to the Daily Telegraph,
with a view of further refuting Admiral Rous's pro-
position, that the Jockey Club had never legislated
about betting. He instances various meetings of
that body from 1842 to 1870, and gives an extract
from the report of a meeting held in 1868, when a
resolution was passed by the stewards—the Duke of
Beaufort, the Duke of Newcastle, and Admiral ROUS
—that "whereas it is expedient the rules of
racing, which prohibit defaulters for stakes and
forfeits from entering or running horses, should ex-
tend to defaulters for bets and to all persons guilty of
malpractices on the Turf, it is resolved that no per-
son of this character shall enter, name, or run any
horse for any purpose whatever." "If this is not
legislation about betting," says " Seuex " " I should
like to know what is."

MR. RICHARD TATTERSALL.

The death of Mr. Richard Tattersall, the head of
the celebrated firm of that name, deserves more than
a passing obituary notice, inasmuch as that name is
to some extent an historic one. The first Richard
Tattersall of whom anything is known was born
nearly a_hundred and fifty years ago, when George

the first "was king. " Old Tat" had been Vie
traimng groom to the puke or liingston,
and on the death of that nobleman he esta-
blished his auction room. In 1799 "Richard Tat-
tersall, of St. George's-in-the-Fields, -Westminster,
gentleman " purchased from Lord Bolingbroke, for
L 2,500, the celebrated horse Highflyer, and this
purchase was the beginning of his stud farm and his
wealth. In gratitude he called the house which
he built, in the Isle of Ely, Hightlyer Hall.
The first Tattersall died in 1795 at the age of 72,
and-with that most rare thing in the horse deal-
ing world, a high character- not only for in-
tegrity but benevolence. His son Edmund fol-
lowed in the footsteps of his father, and in 1810 died,
to him succeeding the father of the gentleman
whose death is now recorded. The present represen-
sentative and active manager of the firm, Mr. -Edwin
Tattersall, cousin of the deceased, fully sustains
the family reputation, and it may be said that the
name of Tattersall is only unknown where horse
racing is not.

CONFESSION OF MURDER AT LEEDS.

A labourer, named Robert Thornton, late on Wednes-
day night gave himself up to the police at one of the
suburban stations of Leeds. On the 27th of December
last an Englishtramp, named Murgatroyd, was kicked to
death in a beerhouse in Leeds much frequented by Irish-
men. Thornton said " I want to make con-
fession of a murder I have committed. I mur-
dered a man in a beerhouse in Kirkgate on
Christmas Day. I kicked him to death in the
passage, and my mind has never been easy since. I have
nothing more to say, only I did not do it on purpose. It
is a bad job." He appeared to be quite sober, but it is
stated that he has been in a lunatic asylum. He was
taken before the stipendiary magistrate yesterday morn-
ing and remanded for a week. Two Irishmen were tried
tt the last assizes for the murder of Murgatroyd, and
acquitted.

The Emperor of Austria has paid Baron Anselm
Rothschild the high compliment of conferring upon him
the First Class of the Order of the Iron Crown, in recog-
nition of the IGng and remarkable public services of his
house.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales has con-

THE MEDICAL EDUCATION OF WOMEN.

The comments on the recent address of Professor
Laycock, at the Edinburgh University Council,
has called up the professor in self-defence.
What he really desired to enforce upon
his hearers, as he said when opening his summer
class at the Edinburgh Infirmary on Tuesday,
was that there were possibilities in the future that
might render necessary " such an unpleasant,
dangerous and delicate proceeding" as that of in-
quiry into the moral character of ladies who
may attend the university as medical stu-
dents. He says he never intimated that the possibility
had yet become a reality. He spoke only of what
might be in futuro. He maintains that in the event
of " the other sex " being admitted unrestrictedly
from all parts of the world, and at the age of
from sixteen to twenty-two, "then for the
male students, at least, there wouldbe other conceivable
obj ects than study, and possibly for some of the females."
He quoted an eminent member of the profession who
wrote to him, saying, that while feeling strongly the
necessity in these times of obtaining suitable occupa-
tion for women, he at the same time insists that of
all pursuits those that involve " the questions of
sex are to both sexes the must objectionable."
They are more than objectionable. " They
are repulsive." Professor Laycock on these and
other grounds told his hearers the other day that
" The ladies must really keep away from your
clinical wards : otherwise we cannot teach or be
taught fully," as they will "hinder the most serious
work for which we meet."

PROPOSED REVISION OF THE SCRIPTURES.

The Daily News complains loudly of the action of
the bishops with respect to the revision of the Eng-
lish bible. It is proposed to place that great work
in the hands of Convocation, acting through a com-
mittee of its members. "We warn them, with all
the respect due to their official characters, that for
the performance of a great national work
Convocation is not a body to command
the confidence of the nation. The co-
operation needful for such a purpose is
not to be obtained on such terms as tliti
imagine, and if it were, the English people are no
prepared to accept a revised Bible from any one
Church or religions society. A. work claiming to be
national must be accomplished by national autho-
rity." The Bishop of Winchester thinks revision by
a Royal Commission impossible. Better let the
matter rest then.

THE PROTESTANT CHURCH IN IRELAND.

The Archbishops have sanctioned an appeal for
funds to maintain the Disestablished Church in Ire-
land in its future state, and the appeal has accordingly
been issued by the Representative Bcdy. They set
forth the yearly income of the clergy at about
400,000. The value of commutation—assuming
that the clergy will commute, which, however,
is by no means certain—is about five millions
and three quarters, which would produce about
£200,000 a year. In order, therefore, to preserve
this fund untouched, it will be necessary to earn
£230,000 ayear, and the Representative Body urgethat
besides these subscriptions there ought to be a fund
of one million created by donations. In order
to raise this amount they recommend the
adoption of a rate of two per cent., or a tax of
less than fivepence in the pound. This is equivalent
to a week's wages on the yearly income of a working
man. Whether the fund will prosper remains to be
seen. It is thought by many that the " heterodox"
opinions of Archbishop Trench will have a prejudi-
' vial effect.
