OMNIBUS NURSING.

It is satisfactory to find that the Worship-street
Police-court magistrate takes a serious view of the
case of omnibus "nursing" which has just come be-
fore him. The practices complained of were most
disgraceful. A. private individual started an
omnibus in the east of London, and straight-
way the great organisation known as the London
General Omnibus Company set itself to drive him
off the road. Six omnibuses were put on for the
express purpose of causing an obstruction, and for
months the private proprietor's vehicles were so
hampered before and behind with the "nursing "
omnibuses that his custom grievously fell off.

THE JAMAICA QUESTION.

The Times considers the great point at issue in the case
PhiHipps v. Eyre was the capacity of a Colonial Legisla-
ture to grant an indemnity for acts committed in the
colony, so as to tske away the rights of a plaintiff in this
country. The Exchequer Chamber has decided that the
Colonial Legislature has this power, and that its Act
protects the ex:Governor. On general grounds we wel-
come this decision as just and expedient. It is obvious
that persons who had been entirely absolved by the
community in which they lived, and who en-
joyed its highest esteem, might be harrassed and ruined
by actions in this country, where the circumstances of
their case were imperfectly understood. In fact,
a judgment for the plaintiff in " Phillips v. Eyre,"
would put an end to the self-government of all the young
and vigorous communities of the English race so long as
tlpy remained under the British Crown. It is acknow-
ledged that if independent, such a power as is claimed for
the English Courts could not be exercised, and, therefore,
the supremacy of the Mother Country and the subjection
of the Colony would be presented to every Colonist in the
most offensive form. We must look forward to a time
when the chief Colonies will be nnited in federations
which cannot and ought not to be denied the most perfect
independence of internal administration, and it would be
toe much to sanction a principle which would nullify the
acts of the Canadian or Aus ralian Dominions. This
judgment places the relations of the various Legislatures
of the Empire on a sound basis and an intelligible prin-
ciple, and we hope now to have taken leave of the Jamaica
controversy for ever.

AN ECCENTRIC GENTLEMAN.

The late William Maxwell Stewart, of Lochnagar;.
Scotland, must have been in .his lifetime a singular
man. A trial is now being proceeded with in the
Glasgow Court of Session to test the validity of his will,
and the evidence already adduced proves him to have
been a very eccentric character indeed. Heprobably had
heard early in live that an angry man is always
supposed to have a fiddle, which in his hours of
quietude 1)e is understood to keep hanging on a cer-
tain nail behind some door. " Give the man
a nail to hang his fiddle on" is often said.
in Scotland, when a fellow shows extraordin-
ary ebullitions of temper. Mr. Stewart knew
the value of a fiddle, and it is stated that when he
was: in really violent passions, as he often .was,
only the soothing melody of the violin pacified
him. Among his other peculiar traits of charac-
ter this gentleman is alleged to have shewn
a decided partiality for an unsettled life.
In proof of this it was stated that he had been a
clerk in Liverpool, an officer in the navy, an officer in
the army, and a gentleman farmer in the course
of his eventful • career. During his life at
his Scotch farm the deceased went out regularly
to buy his own herrings, and all provisions for him-
self and a single servant. He was often seen clothed
like a beggar. At other times he appeared to be
filled with overweening vanity, and on these
occasions he dressed well, and wrote letters
to various authorities, declaring himself a
worthy claimant for the Victoria Cross.
Mr. Stewart, all through his latter years, seemed to
have groundless suspicions of conspiracies against
him, 'chiefly among his own relatives, and it was
always observed that he persistently watched the
tops of the houses:opposite to those in which he liyed,
in expectation of seeing the man, who would
venture to assail him, appear there. His
chief food was eggs, as he believed they never could
be poisoned. In the will of this strange individual
who, by-the-bye, belonged to a distinguished family,
it is provided that a large sum of money should be
invested to provide the Sunday School children at
Inverkip " with bread, butter, and tea every Sun-
day," each class to be " supplied with knives and
forks with ivory handles." The deceased also be-
queathed trusts for the encouragement of Scotch
music, particularly of reels and jigs played by per-
formers on the violin.

UNHEALTHY IMITATION.

A. recent analyst of the French judicial statistics
remarks with regret that during the past eighteen
years there has been an increasing disposition in
juries to be less severe towards offences against
the person than towards offences against pro-
perty, and at the same time to look with
peculiar leniency upon cases of commercial fraud.
This leniency to fraud is apparently only another
phase of the "sincerest flattery" which impels the
French to copy the manners and customs of the
English. They have borrowed our habits of racing
and betting, our bull dogs and our " krock," and now
It seems they are adopting our tendency to set the
interests of property above those of life and honour.
When will they begin to borrow our parliamentary
institutions, or our public and personal liberties?

LORD BYRON'S BIRTHDAY.

Apropos of the recent dinner in New York, to
celebrate the " anniversary of Lord Byron's birth," a
strange error seems to have crept into the proceed-
ings. The dinner took place last Monday, the 25th of
April. Lord Byron was born on the 22nd January,
1788;and consequently our American cousins, not-
withstanding their fame as calculators, were more
than three months " out " in celebrating the anni-
versary of Lord Byron's birthday.

The motion for going into committee on the bill
for legalising marriage with a deceased wife s sister
was carried by 184 to 114. The minority consisted
chiefly of Conservatives ; but 17 Liberals lent their aid
to defeat the measure, including Sir John Coleridge,
Admiral Erskine, Mr. Walker (Berkshire), Colonel
Sykes (Aberdeen), Mr. Hurst (Horsham), and
others, the Scotch members in particular sheaving
themselves averse to the bill. Eight Scotch Liberals
voted against it.

REPRESSION OF ➢IENDICITY.

The Bishop of London presided over a meet-
ing of the Society for Organising Charitable
Relief and Suppressing Mendicity. His lordship
said it was a very-difficult thing even in a small
community to know how to relieve want without
incurring the risk of encouraging improvidence.
With various shades of imposture to deal with,
from the pretended blind or lame street-
beggar up to the well-dressed rogue, who invades
drawing-rooms with a plausible story, it could only
be done through the agency of united action. " It too
often happened that the presence of this imposture
exercised a baneful influence upon the honest poor,
driving them into similar evil courses, while the
really deserving went unrelieved from their absolute
reluctance to make their wants known. His lordship
expressed great satisfaction at the progress the society
*as making, believing it the means of checking the
evil complained of.

MR. DISRAELI'S LAST WORE.

"Lothair " is dedicated to the Duc d'Aumale.
This compliment will doubtles be highly gratifying
to most respectable Frenchmen, who have
reason to admire the banished member of
the House of Orleans, if they cannot
give him their allegiance. The Duc d'Aumale
is one of the few members of royal families who
have commanded respect in misfortune. His cha-
racter is of the highest, and his abilities great. It
may be doubtful whether the dedication will be alto-
gether acceptable to another distinguished personage
who, like the Duc d'Aumale, is " a man of letters ;"
but the compliment is thoroughly appropriate.

COMMITTAL I,' A JL,YMAN.

A short time since one of the j ury men in a case tried
at the Norwich county court made some observations
to the judge, who thought them offensive,
and committed him for contempt of court.
A. petition has been signed by five of the
jurors praying for an inquiry into the matter on
various grounds. The petitioners allege that it was
not until after the judge had charged them with
prejudice, and applied to them the epithet
of " ignoramuses," that the foreman,. acting
as the mouthpiece of his fellow jurymen,
simply observed that the former had no right to
reflect on them as he had done, and was immediately
ordered into custody for five days. They further
allege that the explanation given by the judge is
inaccurate, and unworthy of his high position. They
submit that a sad blow will be given to the rights
anti privileges of jurymen, if such acts as those com-
plained of aro passed over, and that without some
guarantee that this conduct will not be repeated, the
freedom and independence of trial by jury will be
seriously endangered.

VAGRANCY.

Colonel Dvo-rr asked the President of the Poor-law
Board whether it was his intention, on the part of the Go-
vernment, to institute any proceedings, by legislation or
otherwise, in the course of the present session, on the
subject of vagrancy, particularly the lodging of tramps in
the rural districts.

Mr. GosCHEN said he could not give a definite answer.
it was impossible to state the intention of Government as
to any further measures with any degree of certainty. He
was anxious to deal with the question, and if possible
would do so this session.

Mr. ALFRED SEYMOUR asked the First Commissioner of
Works if it was true that he had the intention of substi-
tuting any other material for mosaic work in carrying out
the designs for the decoration of the Central Hall of the.
Houses of Parliament ; and, if so, what materials he was
prepared to substitute ?
Mr. AYRTON said the question was still under considera-
tion, no determination having yet been come to.
Mr. SEYMOUR asked whether the right hon. gentleman
had it in contemplation to substitute any other material.
Mr. AYRTON said he had it in contemplation to do that.
which, on consideration, should be deemed best.

HIGHWAYS ACT.

Sir MICHAEL HICKS BEACH asked the Under Secretary
of State for the Home Department when the return rela-
tive to the Highways Act, addressed for on the 19th July,
1869, would be prefeuted to the House.

Mr. BRUCE said the returns were very difficult. He
hoped they would be on the table in the course of a few
days.

MR. BUXTON.

Colonel FRENCH drew attention to the rumours respect-
ing the attempted assassination of Mr. Charles Buxton.
One rumour was that it was a Fenian outrage, and
another that the man was an evicted tenant. He wished
for information on the subject.
Mr. BRUCE replied that the man who shot at Mr.
Buxton was an English shorthand writer, who had been
discharged for impertinence. The police were informed
of the circumstance, and were now investigating the
case.

THE ARMING OF THE VOLUNTEERS AND

THE MILITIA.

Lord ELCHO inquired why the volunteers and militia
were not armed with breech-loaders, seeing that there
were sufficint weapons for the purpose.
Mr. CARDWELL said there were only 300,000 at present
in store, which was a much smaller number than was
usually required. With regard to the militia they had
already supplied sixty-four regiments, and issued 27,000
Snider rifles in the course of the present year.
Lord ELCIIO remarked that there were only 140,000
effective volunteers, and if there were 300,000 arms, why
could they not be placed in the hands of the volunteers?
Mr. CARDWELL replied that the reason was simply that
300,000 was a smaller number than usual.

THE STATE OF BUSINESS.
Mr. GLADSTONE said on Monday they would proceed
with the Irish Land Bill in Committee. Ho understood
that there was a strong desire that they, should
report = at an early hour on Monday night
in order t.o give time for disposing of the motion, growing
out of the order of the House, for the appointment of a
Select Committee, to inquire into monastic and conven-
tional institutions. They would, therefore, report pro-
gress at eleven o'clook. There was a great deal of
Uncertainty as to whether the enquiry proposed,
Was to be an inquiry into the internal affairs,
and personal relations of these institutions or
whether it was concerning certain points connected' with
the state of the law and the holding of property. It
would very much facilitate the matter if the hen. Mover
of the motion would state what he considered would be
the proper object of the inquiry.
Mr. NEWDEGATE promised that he would state his views
on that point on Monday.

PROFESSOR BLACKIE ON MORAL PHILOSOPHY.

Professor Blackie has given the first of four
lectures at the Edinburgh Royal Institution, on moral
philosophy. The most noticeable part of the lecture
was the contrast drawn by the Professor between
Socrates and Calvin. The two fundamental princi-
ples of Socrates' ethics, he said, were reason
and sympathy, which found their illustrations in
special virtues, such as generosity, truthful-
ness, charity, toleration. Contrasting him with
Calvin, he said Socrates was the very reverse of
the exacting and vigorous reformer. He was a
faithful preacher, but always sympathetic, patient,
and tolerant. He did not commence his sermons
with cursing and condemnation, and a process of
moral terrorism; a subtle logic, and a play •
ful tone were the only weapons he used.
Socrates took no fees for his preaching ; his mission
was to make men better. That was quite different
from the modern utilitarian practice, which Carlyle
hit off, when he said "I wonder how much the
publishers gave Isaiah for his writings."

MEDICINE A REMEDY FOR PAUPERISM.

The President of the Poor Law Medical Oftcers
Association argues that the greater part of pauper-
ism takes its rise from the sickness of the poor.
Sanitary provisions and medical arrangements
are much the same in England and Wales, and
Scotland, and both kingdoms agree remarkably, not
only in the proportion of deaths to population, but
in the proportion of zymotic disease where con-
trasted with gross mortality; whereas Ireland,
where far more is spent on medical relief', is rewarded
by having the smallest death Fate—and moreover,
by having infinitely less poor-rate expenditure.
Everyone must agree that it is a good plan to render
medical relief as efficient as possible, and that in this
direction there is a wide field for improvement. It
is greatly to be hoped that the system of "Poor-Law
Dispensaries," now initiated, may be extended not
only to all parts of London, but also to other suitable
localities.

PEACE PRESERVATION.

It is important to note that only part of the Peace
Preservation Act has been put into force in the dis-
tricts just proclaimed. All that part of the Act
coming under the heading of " special " proclama-
tions, and including provisions as to the powers of
magistrates to deal with " strangers," to treat charges
summarily, to grant compensation to the personal
representative of the person murdered, and the
clauses relating to the press, is excepted. These re-
servations have given rise to some dissatisfaction,
many persons complaining that such a half measure
will be of no avail. Every day brings testimony to the
ne-ea of vigorous action. A most atrocious out-
rage is just reported from Monaghan. A man
named Michael McPhillips was found on Tuesday
morning lying on the road dreadfully mutilated
and almost murdered opposite the residence
of the Roman Catholic Bishop of Clogher. The
road for some distance was strewn with the unfortu-
nate man's teeth. His upper lip was found also
completely cut away, and other severe injuries had
been inflicted. A telegram on Wednesday evening

NATAL.

Mr. ROBERT FOWLER asked the Under Secretary of State
for the Colonies, whether it was the intention of Her
Majesty's Government to withdraw the troops from
Natal.

Mr. MONSELL said he had no such intention. He had
to ask the hon. gentleman to postpone the motion which
stood in his name on the subject.
Mr. FOWLER said if it was for the public interest that
he should not bring it forward, of course he would not do
co. He should therefore put it off until May 20.

THE RED SEA.

Mr. GOURLEY asked the First Lord of the Admiralty
what measures, if any, were being taken to procure a new
and correct survey of the Red Sea ?
Mr. CHILDERS said there were some charts in hand of
the Red Sea, but they were of an .old date. The Red
Sea was fairly surveyed, hut not so the gulf of Suez.
The re-survey of portions of the Red Sea was under con,
sideration, but nothing had yet been determined on,

CHAPEL SITES.

Mr. OWEN STANLEY asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department if it was his intention, when the
Chapel and Schools Site Bill was in committee, to strike
out the compulsory clauses for obtaining sites for
chapels, limiting it to schools only : and, if he intended to
propose clauses enabling owners of property with limited
powers to grant or sell sites for churches and chapels by
agreement.

Mr. BRUCE replied that the hon. gentleman in the first
part of the question had rightly apprehended the inten-
tion of the Government, which was to object to that
portion of the bill which gave compulsory power to obtain
sites for chapels. He believed it was the intention of
the hon. gentleman who introduced the bill fully to pro-
vide for increasing the powers as to granting sites for
churches and chapels by agreement.

SALMON FISHERIES.

The ninth annual report of the Inspectors of Sal-
mon Fisheries contains a large amount of interesting
matter, which will prove a valuable adjunct to the
evidence now being adduced before the Select Com-
mittee appointed to consider the same subject. The two
inspectors are Mr. Frank Buckland and Mr. S. Walpole.
Mr. Buckland is, of course, the chief reporter. He
says, in his preface, that taking the reports as a whole
the salmon fisheries of England are decidedly on
the increase. The result of legislation
in 1801 is now beginning to shew itself. He
does not assert that legislation is perfect, but con-
sidering, in a natural history point of view, that the
short space of eight years only has been accorded to
the protection of sahnonidaa, the multiplication of
these fishes has been very striking. The reports of
both Mr. Buckland and Mr. Walpole speak of the
causes which affect the salmon fisheries injuriously,
and suggest the means by which these evils may be
avoided.

THE INSPECTION OF CONVENTS.

Two important declarations by the leading Roman
Catholics of Great Britain appear in the Times. The
first of these sets forth a solemn protest against the
contemplated State inquiry into conventual and
monastic institutions. These institutions, say the
declarants, are the private homes of British subjects,
voluntarily associated, Their superiors have no autho-
rity from the law, and their rules no force but that which
they derive from voluntary obedience. The de-
clarants deny the existence of any authenticated case
of illegal restraint, and affirm that the law of the
land is sufficient for the protection of the inmates.
They resent inquiry as a personal insult to their own
kindred, many of whom are dwelling in religious h ouses,
and protest againstthe dishonourable suspicion involved
in raising the question of inspection. The object of
its promoters, they believe, is not to protect, but to
punish and destroy. The declarants also inveigh bitterly
against the revival of obsolete statutes to their pre
ludice, and appeal to those great principles of regions
iberty, with the assertion of which, they say, the
proposed inquiry is incompatible. They deny that the
Romar. Catholic laity need or desire any inquiry to
preserve their property from being encroached upon
by the religious orders, and wind up with
a solemn declaration that the proposed measure
must, and will, be regarded as .a declaration of war
against the Roman Catholics of the United King-
dom, and a renewal of the old days of
persecution and penal laws. The second
declaration is a solemn protest by the
Roman Catholic ladies of Great Britain against
the inspection of convents, on the ground that it
would be an insult to every female member of the
Church, a cruelty to the nuns themselves, and a gross
violation of their rights as Englishwomen. Both
declarations are numerously and influentially awned

The Rev. D. J. Vaughan, of Leicester, has just
published a series of addresses to the working classes.
In a note to one on " the Church and the State " he
points out that the principle of perfect religious equality
among all Christian bodies in their relation to the
State is now a recognised tenet, to which all
legislation must conform. We may, says Dr.
Vaughan, like it or dislike it, but it is a growing
tendency, a formative idea, a law which must
and will mould the legislation of the future. The
weak point in the Education Bill, he adds, is
that it, does not recognize this principle, and
take . its shape in conformity with 'it. The
reverend gentleman contends that the wis-
dom of the statesman in a time of change
consists in discovering at the earliest possible moment
the position which l prove to be the one of stable
equilibrium, and shaping his legislation accordingly.
Re argues that Church people who wish to maintain
the establishment would do well to remember that
the only chance of doing so lies in the full concession
of that principle, both theoretically and practically.
Mr. Vaughan is a relative to Dr. Vaughan, of the
Temple.

WHOLESALE POISONING.

to application was made on Wednesday to the magi-
strates at Leicester for advice under the following circum-
stances. A man named Abram Stevens lived with his
seven children in Brook-street, and on Saturday night
he sent one of the latter to an eating-house, kept by
Samuel Preston, Wharf-street, for some collared
brawn. This was partaken of by four children and
a woman who lived in the house. Soon after-
wards they were seized with giddiness and sickness, and
on Stevens coming home, one chill was found lying stif-
fened, suffering from nausea, and the three other chil-
dren were attacked in a similar manner; the woman was
in a stupified condition. Dr. Clarke, surgeon, was called
in, and restoratives having been applied all the sufferers
gradually recovered. Dr. Clarke is of opinion that the
brawn was made of putrid meat,' and that if medical aid
had not been called in at once fatal results would have
followed. Five other families in the district are stated to
have suffered from the same cause. The vendor's pre-
mises were ordered to be searched by the police before
proceedings were taken. The inspector of meat accord-
ingly went to the house, but nothing unfit for food was
found in the establishment. In all seven families and
about twenty children have been rendered ill. Dr. Lan-
kester, who attended several patients, has taken possession
of a portion of the collared brawn purchased, with a view
to making an analysis. One of the persons affected still
lies in a precarious condition.

THE FALKLAND ISLANDS' BISHOPRIC. —lt is pro-
posed to raise an Endowment Fund of £12,000, for this
bishopric, to which Dr. Stirling has recently been conse-
crated. A Special Committee has been formed to carry
out the plan, under the patronage of the Archbishop of
Canterbury and the Bishop of London. The diocese
includes the island of Terra del Fuego.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—(This DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Mr. Henry Davies, gent'eman, of the Bath Hotel,
Paddington, was charged before Mr. Knox as fol-
lows :—The prisoner was i❑ Lower Regent-street
this morning between one and two o'clock, in a far
from sober condition, and surrounded by a number
of loose women. As he was hallooing, and making
a great noise, Police-constable Palmer, 34 C, and
Godwin 47 CR, requested him to go away. He re-
fused, flourished his walking stick about, and
struck and kicked at Godwin, and as he per-
sise:l in making a disturbance, and in remaining,
he was taken into custody, but was subsequently
admitted to bail. In his defence the prisoner denied
having ever struck or kicked at the constable, but
said he wished he had the opportunity of doing so
then. Mr. Knox fined the prisoner 40s. or a month,
and in addition ordered him to find one surety in the
sum of £25 for" three months, for daring to use a
threat in the presence of a magistrate.
London, England, 1870-04-29

RAILWAY BILL.

Mr. WILLIAM JOHNSTON moved that the resolution of
the Standing Orders Committee of the 25th of March last,
with respect to the Downpatrick, Dundrum, and New-
castle Railway petition, together with the said petition
and the bill annexed thereto, be referred back to the said
committee ; and that they have power to inquire whether
there are any special circumstances which render it just
and expedient that the standing orders should be dis-
pensed with in respect of the said petition.

The motion was agreed to.
BEVERLEY DISFRANCHISEMENT BILL.
A petition was presented from Sir H. Edwards praying
the House not to pass the Beverley Disfranchisement
Bill, as it might affect the trial of the information now
pending against him.
EDUCATION.

A number of petitions were presented, praying the
House to pass an enlarged measure of unsettarian educe,
tion, and also others in favour of scriptural education.
NAIVAB OF BENGAL.

Mr. HAVILAND-BURKE asked the Under-Secretary of
State for India whether there was any objection to lay'
upon the table of the House a copy of the despatch for,
warded by the court of directors of the late East India
Company to the Governor of Calcutta, Mr. Cartier, dated
the 20th of April, 1771, as also a copy of Mr. Cartier's
letter to which the above despatch was a reply ; and, if
he would inform the House of the date of the receipt by
her Majesty's Secretary of State for India of the Nawab
Nazim's memorial of the 28th July, 1869, as also of the
dates of the same being forwarded to and received by the
Governor-G eneral of India.

Mr. GEANT DUFF said the despatch referred to contained
a great deal of matter that was of no interest, and there-
fore it would be useless to reprint it, but he should have
no objection to give every portion of it which related to
the family of the Nawab. The memorial was received
the day after its date, namely the 28th of July, and it
was sent to India on the 28th of October.
MALTA.

Mr. KINNAIRD asked the Under Secretary of State for
the Colonies, whether it was the intention of the Govern-
ment to sanction the admission of " ecclesiastics " into
the Council of Government at Malta ; and, if so, whethe.
he had any objection to lay upon the table of the House
copy of the correspondence with reference thereto, and
also a return of the number of voters in the several
districts of the island who voted for the re-admission of
ecclesiastics ; also of the number who abstained for voting
altogether.

Mr. MONSELL said it was not until the year 1857 that
ecclesiastics were excluded from the council of the Govern-
ment of Malta, but the whole council having desired their
readmission, it was put to the vote. when of that election
there 1,409 assents, to 58 dissents. He had not the number
of those who abstained from voting. There was no inten•
tion on the part of the Government to interfere with the
vote of the people.

THAMES.

Alfred Wright, aged 27 years, was brought up on
remand, before Mr. Lushington, charged with obtain-
ing a situation as barman, at the Bow Bells public-
house, Bow.—Mr. Richard Parry, licensed victualler,
landlord of the Bow Bells, said the prisoner came to
him three weeks ago, ant gave him a reference to a
licensed victualler in Fore-street, and said he had
been at the Five Bells there two years as barman to
Mr. Ware, and he left him on account of his master
giving up business, and that Mr. Ware was then
living at 147, Caledonitn-road. He went there and
saw a woman, who represented herself as Mrs. Ware,
and she gave the prisoner an excellent character.
He subsequently discovered he was deceived, acd
discharged the prisoner. The other representations
of the prisoner being untrue, the magistrate fined him
£5 or a month's imprisonment.

CHURCH UNION IN SCOTLAND.

A large meeting. of Free Church ministers and
other office bearers, opposed to the contemplated
union with other churches, has been held at Edin-
burgh. Professor Smeaton presided; and outspoken
resolutions were adopted binding the meeting to the
principles of the Free Church, as contended for
during the ten years' conflict, and deprecating any
attempt to compromise those principles, either
for the purpose of securing union, or to bring about
union without unity. The meeting pledged itself to
endeavour by all means to give effect to these views,
and to secure the Free Church alike against defection
and disruption.

Quarter Sessions, to the effect that local inspectors of
weights and measures should report deficiencies in the
weights and measures used in regimental canteens to
War Office, instead of taking proceedings in tl.,e ordinary
way.
Mr. BRUCE said it was time that the 'fierii.cctors of
weights and measures had visited canteens for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the accuracy of the weights, &c. He
had addressed a circular to the Chairmen of Quarter
Sessions, recommending them to make such arrange-
ments as they thought proper for visiting canteens. He
was not aware that there was any law which specially
sanctioned the visiting of c.-ontc;ms by inspectors of weights
and measures, nor did he think such sanction was neces.

NEW ZEALAND.

Earl Granville's contributions to the literature of
diplomacy in the shape of his despatches to New
Zealand are enormous. Unhappy is the Minister who
has a troublesome colony on hand. He has not only
to deal with the colony, but with an infinity of
persons in all parts of the world who think they have
an interest in the business. The other day a second
blue book on New Zealand was published. It is full
of Earl Granville's papers, and the correspondence
is still going on, for a despatch of so late
a date as March 25 is just given to the world. In it
Earl Granville affirms that the Government disavow
any wish to abandon New Zealand, or to bring about
the separation between this country and the colony.
The refusal to retain the troops in New
Zealand did not proceed from any indiffer-
ence to the true welfare of the colony, but from a
conviction that the employment of British troops in
a country possessed of responsible government was
objectionable in principle, except in the case of
foreign war. The same rule has been applied to the
other colonies, and there can be no reason for
making New Zealand an exception.
