AN IRISH CONSERVATIVE ON LAND TENURE.

Sir F. W. Heygate, one of the members for Lon-
donderry county, put the Conservative view of the
land question very concisely at a farming society's
meeting. He thought that customs ought to have
the force of law—that whatever system had been prac-
tised on any estate with the consent of both landlord
and tenant ought to be recognised by the Legislature.
He had no objection to the estabhshment of courts
of arbitration for the settlement of disputes between
landlord and tenant. But he warned farmers that
the agitation to make the landlord an annuitant and
the tenant the landlord was foolish as well as unjust,
because the labouring classes who now till the soil
would not fail to advance the precedent in their own
favour. Sir F. W. Heygate admits that a very large
proportion of land improvements have been effected
by the tenant. But the landlords have not been idle,
for they have borrowed two millions for the
.purpose
of drainage, and the interest of that sum has not
been charged to the occupiers.

A POLISH PRIEST IN ROSE.

The Cracow correspondent of the Eastern Budget says
that the only member of the (Ecumenical Council who is
not a bishop at least, is a Pole, Monsignor Sos-
novski, late of the diocese of Lublin, in Russian Poland.
He was threatened with banishment to Siberia, and left
his diocese. He has lately furnished some interesting
particulars of his stay in Rome, and of a visit which he
paid to the Pope. Referring to the state of Poland, his
Holiness said :—" I have not the gift of prophecy, and
cannot, therefore, foresee what destiny awaits the long-
tried Polish nation ; but I feel convinced that the plague
which the Almighty has hung over her will soon be turned
away." At the same time the Pope expressed a desire
that Monsignor Sosnovski. though not a consecrated
bishop, should take part in the proceedings of the

THE SOUTHWARK ELECTION.

Sir Sydney Waterlow. and Sir F. Lycett have
agreed to submit to arbitration their
,respective
claims to contest the vacant seat in South-
wark. XL R. W. Crawford, M.P., and
Mr. Eykyn, M.P., will be arbitrators for Sir S.
Waterlow ; and Mr. Norwood, and Mr. Mun-
della M.P., will act for Sir Fiancis Lycett. These
four members of the Lower House are to decide
which of the two Liberal middle-class candidates
ought to retire. A fifth M.P.. will be selected as
umpire. This proceeding will cut down the multi-
tudinous candidatures in SouthiTark to three, Colonel
Beresford, Mr. Odger, and Si! F. Lycett or Sir S.
Waterlow. The contest "ic ill thus become a
triangular duel between Conservatism, middle-class
Liberalism, and working-class Radicalism. -

ILLNESS OF THE PRINCE OF WALES.

Tuesday evening was the time fixed for the pro-
mised visit of his Royal Highness the Prince of
Wales to Berkeley Castle. Every preparation had
been made by the noble owner of the castle to give
a fitting welcome to the illustrious visitor, but at
the last moment, after the Prince's servants and
luggage had arrived, and his lordship's carriages
had been sent to the railway station at Stonehouse,
a telegram was received at the castle iu the after-
noon, stating that his Royal Highness was unable
to come that evening, but his servants were to
remain at the castle, as he still hoped to pay
his promised visit. Subsequently Captain Sum-
ner arrived from London, with a communication
from his Royal Highness, to the effect, we believe,
that the Prince was suffering from a severe cold,
and his physician had advised him not to leave
London on Tuesday. It was stated that the Prince
had been complaining of a cold for the past few
days, but it was not till Tuesday afternoon that it
became so severe as to interfere with his 'travelling.
The intelligence, of course, created the greatest dis-
appointment both in the town and at the castle,
where the Duke of Sutherland and other guests had
assembled to meet his Royal Highness. In the
town itself the disappointment was keenly felt.
Indeed, until the empty carriages returned from
Stonehouse, at eight o'clock in the even-
ing, the townspeople refused to place any reli-
mice in the statement that the Prince was not coming.
Had the Prince arrived he would have occupied a
suite of apartments over the principal gateway lead-
ing into the inner court of the castle, the bed-room
being that known as the " Red-room," and the
sitting-room, a pleasant apartment lookingout upon
the terrace, occupied by George IV. when he
visited Berkeley Castle 60 years ago.
Information reached Berkeley yesterday, that
although better the prince was still unfit to travel.
His Royal Highness's servants and luggage left
the castle this afternoon for London.

THE WATERFORD PETITION.

An odd, and by no means pleasant, proceeding in
connection with election affairs has been adopted in
Waterford. -A petition is to be tried in that town
against the return of Sir H. W. Barron, who defeated
Mr. Bernal Osborne. The accused party have posted
placards in public places offering a reward for any case
of bribery that can be proved against Mr. Bernal
Osborne. Surely this is carrying Irish liveliness too
far. It is like offering a premium for perjury. And
even if our free and independent voters cannot screw
up their courage to false swearing, it is inexpressibly
disgusting that-a man who 'has sold-his vote should
double his gains by betraying the briber—desirable
though it may be to ascertain the truth.

TILE EIIPEROR OF RUSSIA.

The Patrie contradicts the statements which have been
made respecting the health of the Emperor of Russia. It
declares on good authority that there is no founda-
tion for the unfavourable rumours which have been
circulated to the effect that he is compelled
to lead a retired life, and that well-informed
persons who have lately been at St. Petersburg are sur-
prised to find such reports in circulation. The Empress
of Russia is also in possession of good health. It
was never deemed desirable for her Majesty to pass the
winter in Italy, or at Nice.

THE COPPER MONOPOLY.

Among the many pertinent illustrations of the above
principles, none is better than this about the notorious
copper tariff of February last :
By this bill the duty on all manufactures of which cop-
per constituted a chief component was uniformly increased
to 45 per cent., and included in its provisions was an article
known as Dutch metal, extensively used in the manufac-
ture of paper hangings as a substitute for gold-leaf, and on
which a duty had formerly been levied of 10 per cent.
The result which followed such legislation is briefly told
in the following extract from a statement presented to the
commissioner by leading representatives of the paper
hangin3 industry of the country ; " the article of Dutch
metal,' or 'Florence leaf,' is all imported—mostly from
Germany. lt, is composed of an alloy of copper and zinc,
and is beaten out by hand like gold leaf. It cannot pos-
sibly be made in this country, even if the present duty
were increased, owing to the high price of labour, inas-
much as nearly the whole cost of the article represents the
labour of beating it out, the cost of the material itself
being a mere nothing. Heretofore the duty on this article
has been 10 per cent., but under the provisions of the re-
cent bill increasing the duties on copper the rate has been
increased to 45 per cent. When the duty was 10 per cent.
we did not complain, but the increase to 45 per cent. has
been too much for us, and we have all been obliged to in-
crease the price of our goods frem 5 to 25 cents per roll,
according to the quantity of leaf used on each roll. The
consequence is that the trade are all complaining of a
falling off in the sales of our goods, owing to the high price,
and the difficulty of making the consumer understand the
reason why we charge more for them."

MINISTERIAL CRISIS IN ArSTRIA..

The Eastern Budget contains information from Vienna
dated the 18th of January, which states that no decision
has yet been come to with respect to the new Ministerial
appointments. It is probable that the- whole of the
Cabinet will be reconstituted, the President being
Prince Adolphus Auersperg or Herr von Hasuer.
The Vienna Press states that the municipal
council of Prague has unanimously resolved to
send a deputation to the Emperor, thanking him for
having ordered the publication of the two Ministerial
manifestoes. This publication has enabled the people to
understand the views of the two fractions of the Cabinet,
and is proof of the Emperor's desire for a compromise.
This is held to be the first symptom of a conciliatory spirit
in the Czech party.

EMIGRATION CENTRES.

(From the AnglaAmertean Ttnzes)
COUNTRY AROUND ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA.

The third 'emigration cent re left for discussion is
the City of Si. Paul, the chief town of Minnesota,
and the head of the navigation of the Mississippi river.
Here our block compris.,s the States of Wisconsin
and Minnesota, the former with an area of 53,924
square miles, or 34,511,360 acres of which about ten
million acres remained for disposal in 1867. The latter
is 84,000 square miles, or 54,000,000 acres, of which
36,750,000 remained for disposal in 1867, but as no
State has in the interval more quickly filled up
much of this has been purchased.* The block ex-
tends from Lake Michigan on the east to
the Territory of llacotah on the west, a dis-
tance of little less than 500 miles, and from the
British possessions along the 49th parallel and Lake
Superior on the north, down to lowa and Illinois
on the south. These are essentially Northern
States, having much the same climate as Upper
Canada, and by some considered too cold for plea-
sant winter residence. The fact, however, is that
the dry air of Minnesota during the winter prevents
the sTverity of the climate being much felt. The
cold freezes the damp out of the atmosphere, which
bLc;:lno3 st II anal dry. Indeed the State derives its
name from the clearness of the air— iiihtne, water,
and rota, sky-tinted ; giving health to the sick and
strength to the weak, at least so says Girart Hewitt

* In response to a resolution ol the House of Represen-
tatives the Department of the Interior recently furnished
the following farts. The estimated number of acres of
public lands unsold and unappropriated, after deducting
all disposa:s as far as reported, is thus given:—Florida,
17,32,496; Alabama, 6,495,874; Mississippi, 4,728,517 ;
Louisiana, 6,486,903; Missouri, 1,131,752; Arkansas,
11,307.077—t0ta1, 47,479,619. In reference to the other
States mentioned in the resolution, viz., Virginia, West
Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, Ken-
tucky, and Tennessee, it is reported that there aro rLo pub-
lic lead§ withia their lireite.

THE IRISH POOR LAW.

A. correspondent of the Manchester Examiner
calls attention to the flagrant inequality between the
English and Irish Poor-laws. The elastic English
Poor-law system, he says, has sufficed not only to meet
the trying fluctuations of such frequent occurrence
in manufacturing and commercial districts, but extra-
ordinary and severe crises. The destitute in Eng-
land have since the Act of Elizabeth had a legal
right to relief in some form. The Irish Poor-
law Board iannot
_conipel ;the granting of
relief, except m cases where the applicant is
affected by old age and infirmity, or sickness or
serious accident, or of widows having at least two
legitimate children dependent on them. The writer
concludes by 'rioting Dr. Ingram's observation that
the superiority, as regards humanity and liberality,
is almost always on the side of the English system.'

ADDRESSES TO THE POPE.

Two contradictory statements have been made concern-
ing the peiLions addressed to the Pope on the doctrine
of Infallibility. In reproducing the address of the
partisans of Infallibility, the Univers states that the docu-
ment contains already 400 signatures ; while a despatch
from Rome says that 300 bishops have refused to sign the
petition in favour of the Pope's Infallibility, and that they
have likewise resolved to present a counter address to the
Council. Both statements stand in need of confirmation.

THE EARL OF DERBY UPON RECIPROCITY.

A correspondent of the Daily .M 2173 informs us that
the Earl of Derby has pronounced his opinion on the
reciprocity agitation, and pronounced as everyone
thought he would, dead against it. The secretary of
a "reciprocity " association recently wrote to his
lordship requesting him to attend a meeting in sup-
port of its object. The noble earl replied that.he did
not approve of the policy advocated by the associa-
tion, and would not be a party to the reimposition of
any of the import duties which had been repealed.
If then the Conservatives wish " this man to reign
over them," they must 2 it is clear give up all idea of
protection. No one imagined, however, that any
serious party conflict would come out of the already
almost dead cry.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY:

A. "SEOTTLA.R" SUNDAY EVtNING.

A correspondent of the Pall Mall Gasette gives an
account of a Sunday evening with the Secularists :
" Curious," he remarks, " to ascertain the exact doctrines
of the Secularists, on Sunday evening last we made our
way to that dreariest and most wretched of London
throroughfares, Old-street-road, in which salubrious locality
is situated the temple of which Mr. Bradlaugh is the high-
priest. Admission is only obtained on the payment of 4d.
to the reserved seats, and 2d. to the body of the
hall and galleries. The ' hall' is calculated to hold
1,400 person; and on the occasion of our visit was
full in every part. The audience in the main consisted of
decently-dressed and respectable-looking persons, with a
slight admixture of a rougher element. Nor was Mr.
Bradlaugh's audience confined to the male sex. Several
ladies mounted the platform, and testified their sympathy
with him by `nods, and becks, and wreathed smiles;'
while in the lower part of the hall were many well-
dressed women. On Mr. Bradlaugh's appearance he was
greeted with several rounds of very hearty applause,
and, judging from his self-satisfied smirk as he looked
around him, was evidently en rapport with his audience.
The lecture was on The Origin of All Religions,
which, the lecturer said, took their rise in the'
ignorance of mankind and in the attempt to account
by supernatural agency for natural phenomena
which they could not understand, and that as science ad-
vanced religion retreated. These opinions were enforced
by arguments which Volnoy long ago made familiar.
➢lr. Bradlaugh did not deny that there "might have
been a man named Jesus, perhaps hundreds, as Jesus
was a very common name,' but the existence of the
Christ of the Bible he totally denied. Amidst
loud laughter and cheers he illustrated the doc-
trine of the Trinity by a water-bottle, an orange, and
a box, the water-bottle representing the First Person of
the Trinity, this legerdemain being accompanied with lan-
guage which made some at least of the audience shudder.
For an hour and a half did this stream of blasphemy flow
on, with the accompaniment of continuous cheering. It
may be noticed that the lecturer's references to recent
proceedings in the Church, as sheaving how these Chris-
tians love one another, were eagerly responded to by
the andience. At the conclusio nof the lecture, boxes
were handed round for subscriptions to the " building
fund."

(Frog Judy.)

When is a settled account like water to an old toper ?
When it's liquid-hated.

Why is a policeman generally of a satirical turn ?
Because he has such a habit of " taking people off."
CERTAINLY NOT.—Can the singing of a tonic-sol-fa choir
be termed a Hullah-baloo?

WHO IS IT ?—But for the unerring accuracy with
which the French papers always give English names we
should almost fear that some unprincipled person has
been assuming the honoured name of snelif our English
baronets. The Petit Journal complains that two clever
English swindlers are at this moment victimising Paris.
The first is about 32 years old, and answers to the name
of " Lardley," or " E7Ardley." He gives himself
out as a baronet or colonel. Ho is a man of small sta-
ture, with a light-coloured beard. The second, who signs
himself " Hermitage," and calls, himself an aide-de-camp
of " Lardley," is tall, beardless, and appears to be 24 or 25
years of age. These two gentlemen, who say they are at
Paris on official business, present themselves at, the prin-
cipal hotels, spend enormously, borrowing, money from
masters and servants, and finally disappear without paying
Two days ago they ordered at a tailor's the uniform of a
prefect of police. " Lardley," while having his measure
taken, told the tailor that he was about to occupy the
vacant place of M. Pictri. "It is very likely," says
Le Figaro, " that Lardlcy ' and his companion will
appear before the Prefect of Police, but they will not
occupy his apartmenis." We would strongly advise
"Lardley" to be careful. The name he has assumed
closely resembles that of a baronet well known in this
country, who has been allowed to indulge in pastimes
which would not be permitted in the case of a spurious
baronet. Of course, if it is our own baronet who is
making this sensation in Paris, some represertikation on his
behalf should be made to the French Government. But
if "Lardley" has had the bad taste to assume an honour
to which he is not entitled, we must leave him to his fate
and under no circumstances can we interfere for the pro
tection of his aide-de-camp, "klerinitage.7—rall Mall

TIIE OLD INSTITUTION.

A man was poisoned in a workhouse a clay or two
ago. He was a coachman, and had been ob-
served tby some fellow workmen to be in
a very exhausted condition. He was sent
off in a cab to the workhouse, and " two hours and
a half" were spent in driving about, endeavouring to
find a relieving officer who might give the man an
order of admission. At last a policeman got The
sufferer inside the workhouse. His fate was sealed
at once. His cause of illness was congestion of the
lungs ; and a nurse at once settled the complaint and
the man too by giving him a dose of castor
oil and opium by mistake. The medical
officer did not like to bring this case before the
coroner ; there had been so many inquests, and the
guardians grumbled so ; but he felt there was no help
for it. The jury returned a verdict of censure. It is
almost unnecessary to name the workhouse in which
this episode took place; it was of course St. Pancras.

EXPERIENCED BIGAMY.

A curious bigamy case has been tried at Maidstone.
Mr. Richard Foster, of the ripe age of 70, was in-
dicted for having married one lady of the name of
Jane Smith in 1842, and with espousing another
Smith, a Mary Anne, in 1869, whilst Jane was still
alive. The veteran bigamist confessed the soft im-
peachment. But he argued that his marriage to
Jane, in 1842, was illegal, because he had been mar-
ried once before, in 1828, to Maria Frazer. Now this
lady was alive in 1842, so that the marriage with
Jane was void ; but she was not alive in 1869, and
therefore the marriage with Mary Anne was good.
The jury acquitted him. The judge, however, pointed
out that if he did ,not commit bigamy in 1869, he
did, on his own confession, err in 1842. He must,
therefore, exchange the frying-pan for the fire, and
remain in custody.
"THE GREAT PHILOSOPHER COMTE."

The Positivists have been put in an invidious posi-
tion by recent legal events in Paris : they have had
to defend their lord and master from a charge
of immorality. M. Comte is charged by his surer
viving wife with having deserted her for Madame
Clotilde de Vaux, the wife of a convict; and the
French courts so far endorse the charge that they
have prevented the publication of those parts of the
celebrated philosopher's will which refer to the dis-
pute. The Daily News has ventured to comment
adversely upon these revelations, and con-
demned the philosopher as being guilty of immo-
rality. One of his disciples writes, defending his
teacher; and urging that it was Madame Comte who
who deserted her husband, not he her, and that the
attachment between him and Madame Vaux was
entirely platonic. To which the Daily News replies
that it cannot so judge. M. Comte must not be
held to be stronger than other men ; and his living
with another woman, while separated from his wife,
must be reprobated. The most charitable thing to
say is that he was in his later years luwale.

Central Criminal Court. The criminal busine: fa of
the county of bilssex will probably be transferred to
the Western Circuit. With regard to the civil
business of the Home Circuit, the arrangements will
be just the same as those affecting the criminal cases.
The alterations are therefore very sweeping, and will
probably involve a higher class of judges in the county
courts, and of chairmen at Quarter Sessions. The people
of the counties in this circuit are naturally alarmed
at their ancient privileges being thus taken from
them, and it is said that there is even a strong f eel-
mg abroad that the abolition of the Home Circuit is
merely the introduction of the thin end of the
wedge, and that it is preparatory to the abolition of
the whole of the circuits and the centralisation of the
business in London.

THE CONVENTION AND THE BIGHTS OF WOMEN.

"Great laughter" has found its way into the staid
ranks of the clerical and lay delegates of the Irish
Church Convention. Amendments involving the
right of the admission of women have been proposed,
but they were all lost. Many upholders of the sex
were found, however, in the assembly, and in one
instance, on a regular division, the num-
bers were—for the women, 108 ; against, 158.
What secret motive urged the Rev. Professor Gal-
braith when he proposed that the rule, that the
names of the voters in the division be printed, should
be in this instance suspended? His anxiety was
allayed somewhat by a promise of no less a personage
than the l'Emate, who remarked that if any gentle-
man feared any domestic disturbance in consequence
of his vote he might send hii card to the chair, and
they would omit his name.

TILE EMIGILATION MOVEMENT.

Another large meeting, convened by the West-
minster Emigration Club, has been held in London,
for the purpose of devising the best means of
assisting the industrious poor to emigrate. Lord
Shaftesbury was at his post as chairman, and referred
to his hearty approval of the principles of the West-
minster Club. The emigration of its members would
b 3 continuous, and would help to keep the
colonies the friends of this country, and he
was not one who wished to part with the colonies.
Lord Alfred Churchill, in the course of his address
to the meeting„ expressed himself opposed to State
emigration, because through it the Government
would be compelled to send out to the colonies a class
of persons not welcome there. Mr. W. H. Smith,
M.P., urged those present to assist themselves to
emigrate, and to be independent of State aid.

CHOLZAA IN THE GAMBIA.

An official return has been published containing
extracts of papers relating to the recent outbreak of
cholera in the settlement of the Gambia. The
details of the visitation show it to have been of
the most virulent character, and fears are
entertained that, 'cholera having thus obtained a
footing in Africa, its periodical visits may be anti-
cipated. The report states that the difficulties in
contending with this epidemic are almost innume-
rable. The prejudices and fright of the natives
make them insensible to any bribe or rate
of wages offered to induce them to assist in burying
the dead. The deadly unsupportable nature of the
climate necessitates the immediate burial of the
bodies, which are placed in trenches, as time
and lab3ur do not admit of separate
graves. Rear-Admiral Paley, in his despatch
to Earl Granville, says, "bow long the cholera
may last of course cannot be told, but we
are now fast •approaching the sickly season, and
should we not be free from it then, I fear but few
will be left to tell of the cholera epidemic at the
Gambia in the year 1869."

DEGREES FOR STUDENTS.

Mr. CHARLES REED asked the First Lord of the
Treasury whether his attention had been called to a
certain provision in reference to the terms of residence
for degrees for students of the privileged class at the
University of Oxford, and whether the Government
would introduce a measure which would place students,
without respect to rank or birth, in an equal position
with regard to terms of residence required, before pro-
ceeding to the degree of Bachelor or Master in Arts,
Medicine, or Civil Law.

Mr. GLADSTONE answered that the same regulation was
in force in the Tiniversity of Cambridge. He was not
prepared to give any pledge on the part of the Govern-
ment to take the matter up.

MILITIA OFFICERS.

Colonel CORBETT asked the Secretary of State for War
whether he considered that by the Act 42 George 111., c.

would take steps to include them in the exemption.
Mr. CARDWELL answered that he took it that the feel-
ing of Parliament was against, rather than for, increasing
exemption.
