JACKSON'S TRIUMPH.

The Rev. J. Jackson, the vicar of Ledbury, who was
recently convicted of immoral conduct in the Court of
Arches, has returned to that parish, and was received
with a great demonstration of opinion against the
decision of that court. Several floral arches were
placed across the streets, flags were suspended from
many of the houses, and from 800 to 1,000 persons
assembled, including a large number of the poor parish-
ioners. On his appearance at the railway station, cheers
broke forth from the large assemblage. The rev.
gentleman thanked his neighbours and parishioners for
the kind reception which they had given him, even when
suffering from what he, and he might say a large
portion of the public, considered an unjust decision,
the effect of which had been to reduce him to a state of
poverty.

BREACH OF PROMISE CASE. DAMAGES, £so.—ln the
Bail Court, Miss Reeves brought an action for breach of
promise against Mr. Adams, a civil engineer, living in
Walworth-road. The plaintiff was a servant at Forest-hill,
and in August last she went with the defendant from London
Bridge to Forest-hill, and, according to plaintiff's story,
defendant seduced her in the railway carriage. She
afterwards visited the defendant, and ultimately she
went to live with him. After being there
for a few weeks, according to the plaintiff's
evidence, she left because the defendant would not per-
form his promise to marry ; the defendant, on the other
hand, alleging that it was on account of the plaintiff repre-
senting herself to the trad.esmenthat she was Mrs. Adams.
Two sisters of plaintiff were called, and corroborated de-
fendant's promise to marry. The defendant (who was
described by his own counsel as `• an ugly man ")
did not deny the improper intercourse, and
that he gave her money for it ; but he
emphatically denied ever having made a promise of mar-
riage. The plaintiff indignantly scouted the idea that she
had ever had any affection for the defendant, who was
" perfectly blind ! " The jury gave a verdict for the
plaintiff, damages £5O.
Amongst the Parliamentary papers published to-
day are Report of the select committee onthe Burials Bill,

Bill, and return of Expenditure for Diplomatic and Con-
sular Establishments in 1868.

A meeting of card strippers and grinders has been
held at Oldham, and has decided that the whole of the
operatives of that town who are employed in the carding-
rooms should form a union to resist, as they allege, any
encroachment which might be attempted.

THE BRITISH MUSEUM.

Mr. CHARLES DALRYMPLE asked the right hon. member
for the University of Cambridge whether, since by the
Copyright Act all publishers in the United Kingdom
were bound to furnish to the British Museum a copy of
every book, and of every new edition of a book published
by them, and since as long ago as 1848 Mr. Panizzi
reckoned the duplicates alone in the Museum at
50,000 volumes, it might not be possible, in the
opinion of the trustees, that such .duplicates should be
distributed, under proper regulations, so as to form the
nucleus of public free libraries, or to supplement deficient
libraries ; and whether by this means the British Museum
might not be judiciously relieved of its superabundant
books, without impairing the efficiency of the col-
lection.

Mr. WALPOLE said it was only new editions in which
autohrs' alterations were made, but were required to be
sent to the British Museum, and with respect to the dis-
tribution of duplicates against the free libraries, there
were some tht.t could be disposed of, but then it would
require the assent of Parliament that such should be done.
Even if the assent was given, he should advise that the
distribution be made very carefully, as great loss and
inconvenience had been occasioned by parting with some
of the supposed duplicates.
INDIAN BUDGET.

Mr. FAWCETT asked the Under-Secretary of State for
India whether, considering the present condition of
Indian finances, and also the- feeling which prevails in
that country on the subject, he would depart from the rule
which has been usually followed of bringing on the Indian
financial statement at the close of the session.

Mr. GRANT DUFF said the state of public business was
such that he could not hold out any confident hope of being
able to bring in the Indian financial statement before the
close of the present session.

DISTURBANCES IN PARIS.

The numerous arrests which have been made in Paris,
amounting to 558, seem to have deterred the rioters from
making any further attempts. Great difficulty is expe-
rienced by the throngs of curious idlers who press to the
spots where the disturbadces have taken place. As many as
three thousand have been noticed wandering about. The
Faubourg St. Antoine looked like a fair, a significant
sign of the tranquillity of the public mind, was that the
soldiers passed in an out of their barracks without attracting
any hostile demonstration. None of those arrested can hope
to be let off, for the police made no prisoners until they had
gone through the necessary legal forms of inquiry, and
thus they are ocruilty of the offence of conspiracy to rebel-
lion. The authorities desired, by adopting this course, to
check any serious disturbances which might have ensued
from the excitement produced by too much severity, and
also to lessen the number of preventive arrests by limiting
their prisoners to those guilty of decided outrage of the
law. The experiences of the preceding months led the
authorities to charge each police-agent who made
an arrest to make an inquiry and an interroga-
tory of the accused in a s'immary manner,
and to put down the chief points of the
affair. According to the old system, on the morrow of
any outbreak the prisons were crowded with a medley of
persons, of whose offences, names, ai_d homes the police
were alike ignorant. The numerous investigations that
were requisite took up a great deal of time, whereas by
the new method of proceeding, each prisoner was brought
to the Prefecture with his history well known. The result
will be that nearly all those lately arrested will be tried im-
mediately. About forty of the chief offenders will be kept
back, they were found provided with arms that they had
fired off, wounding soldiers and private individuals. The
inhabitants of Belleville were very zealous in their efforts
to render assistance to the police, and many of the pri-
soners were handed over by them to the soldiers.

Women's Missions.

Whatever difference of opinion may exist as to the
desirability of conferring political rights on women,
there can hardly be any with regard to the suitability
of the field in which the wife of the Premier chooses
to display her powers. Those who visited the parochial
mission at St. Luke's, Milwall, a night or two since
would have been surprised to find themselves in the
midst of a " reception " by Mrs. Gladstone. Some
350 women of that populous and miserable
district had accepted her invitation, and
sat down to a substantial meal, which long-con-
tinued privation bad rendered as rare as it was wel-
come. After tea Mrs. Gladstone briefly and feelingly
addressed the women, and spoke of the deep sympathy
which had been felt in high quarters with the
sufferings of the neighbourhood, adding a
little sound practical advice. Two or three
clergymen present afterwards spoke to them, and the
evening passed off as pleasantly as profitably to all
concerned. It is clear that from whatever spheres of
action they may be debarred there is still some scope
for the superfluous energies of enterprising dames
of the nineteenth century in the waste places of
wealthy London.
The Privileges of an Ambassador.
" C.," in a letter to the Times, criticises
the view of " Historicus " on the bearings of
international law. The writer submits, that
the positive law of England discredits the conclu-
sion of " Historicus," that it discriminates in any case
between an ambassador or other diplomatist and a pri-
vate person. He contends that if he were to meet
the representative of a powerful State in Pall Mall,
pick a quarrel with him, and knock him down, no
more punishment could be inflicted on him than if he
had committed a similar assault on any other person.
This doctrine, he believes, will be found correct when
the inquiry ascends from dicta to principles.

MISCELLANEOUS TOPICS.

" Economy."

Since Lord Justice Selwyn died nine months ago,
his place on the bench in the Court of Appeal in Chan-
cery has not been 'filled up. This crippling of the
equity department has given rise to much complaint;
nor is it clear what may be the motive of the Govern-
ment in omitting to fill up the place, except it be the
desire to save the salary during the tune of vacancy. But
if the Solicitors' • Journal be correct, there will be
no such saving. Lord Justice Selwyn's successor will
be entitled to - the salary from the death of the late
judge ! All the Governm ant will have gained by
keeping the Court for the best part of the legal year
in a state of inefficiency will have been the right to
hand over to the fortunate individual upon whom
they may eventually confer the vacant office nine
months salary (k 4,500), for which lie will have done
exactly nothing,

Government Wrappers for Newspapers.

On the abolition of the impressed stamp the
Government will supply stamped wrappers
for the conveyance of newspapers. This
plan will do away with the inconvenience
that would otherwise result from the com-
pulsory use of the adhesive stamp. The new
stamp to be employed will be similar to the present
postage Stamp, but one-third smaller, and instead of
the words " Postage One Penny," will have the
words " Postage Halfpenny." The colour, as at pre-
sent arranged, will be dark purple.

Emigration to Venezuela.

Details of the miserable results of emigration to
Venezuela come to vs in the shape of an official
despatch from the Governor of Trinidad. It appears
that a small number of Englishmen had been sent
out to this place as colonists by a trading
company having its offices in London. They
arrived, almost utterly destitute, to find an unhealthy
locality on the Caura river, which, though wholly
unimproved, not a single tree having been cut or a
swamp drained or a hut built on it, had been
sold to them by the company at the . price
of £4 for ten acres. This is tlie market price in
Venezuela for three square miles of land. Pre-
sident Della Costa sent them three months'
provisions from Ciudad Bolivar, a large part
of which were stolen by canoe men, and they
were attacked by dysentery fever and almost
starved. Eventually the party made their way
from the settlement, a third of them dying on their
way to Ciudad Bolivar. The officers of the
company, says the despatch, are at " No. 3,
the Crescent, American Square, London, E.C.,
and the firm are styled " The Chartered
American, English, and Venezuelan Trading and
Commercial Company." Intending emigrants will do
well to obey Captain Cuttle's injunction with re-
ference to this company—" when found make a note
of."

Tory Nationalism.
The' Longford Election has resulted in a victory
for the Liberal, Mr. Greville Nugwnt, over the Tory-
Nationalist, Alr. King Harman. The Standard ex-
presses no regret at such a result. It is, in the
opinion of all good Conservatives, a bad thing that a
supporter of Mr. Gladstone and the nominee
of the Catholic priesthood should be returned; but
there is a worse fate for Longford even than
;his, and the Standard thinks it would be found in the
election of Mr. King Harman. The Conservative paper
is very severe upon this gentleman's confession of
political faith. The hybrid phrase which describes
his views, or professions, is an insult at once to the
loyalty and the honour of the Tory party, and to
the intelligence of the Irish people. Between
the Tory and the Irish Nationalist there
is an impassable gulf ; they stand at the very oppo-
site poles of political conviction, and between them
lie all the shades of opinion, from that of the most
moderate or Constitutional Liberal down to that of
the wildest Radical who still professes a sincere
allegiance to the. Crown and to the law,
a true attachment to the integrity of the
empire and the safety of the country."
Loyalty to Queen and Constitution, continues the
Standard, is the foundation of a Tory's political
faith; Irish Nationalism, even if it admit a saving
clause to preserve the chew of allegiance to the
Sovereign, aims at a change which would render the
Constitution little more than a name, and the Sove-
reign's authority in Ireland the very shadow of a
shade. It will be strange if the new Tory Nationalist
theory survive this assault,

Literary Politicians.

The announcement of a new work by Mr. Disraeli
has set the Americans thinking. that English society
has an advantage over their own in the fact
that its best thinkers are continually indulging
in authorship. We Aineiicans," one of the
critics observes, " are very prone to estimate self-made
men. Our cousins also appreciate them, but they have a
class of men who are trained to thought and action."
Among these appear scholastic prodigies like Macau-
lay,Derby, Disraeli, and others. 'The result of all thisis
declared to be that politics and letters are blended,
and the fruit is a national benefit. Another writer
on the same subject asks why some of the American
politicians, who happen to be among the " outs," do
not turn their attention to fiction, and cites as an in-
stance that Mr. Andrew Johnson would be better
employed in writing a novel than in stirring up dis-
sension in Tennessee.

Threatened Strike in the Iron Trade.

The Railway News notices the improved position
of the iron trade, the demand of the miners for
increased wages, and the prospect of a strike if the
masters are not sufficiently well advised to make mo-
derate concessions. A. strike in this direction is most
seriously.to be deprecated. The iron trade just now
is showing gratifying symptoms of a recovery from a
long period of inactivity. According to the state-
ment of the President of the Miners' Association the
stock of iron during the last few months has been
reduced by no less than 20,000 tons, and so short
is the supply at the present time that
in the Cleveland district, if the men who
supplied the hundred and one furnaces, were
to take six days' holiday the furnaces would be
closed for want of material. It would, says the
Railway News, be far better to pay an increased
rate of wages and rely upon improved prices in
the market than to paralyse the operations of one
of the most important branches of our national
industry.

The Society of Friends and Education.
A. deputation from the Society of Friends has
waited on Mr. Gladstone and Mr. W. E. Forster, on
the subject of the Elementary Education Bill. A
document was handed to the Prime Minister,
in favour of Bible and Scriptural instruction,
in elementary schools, but suggesting that the teach-
ing of any denominational catechism or peculiar
doctrine should be prohibited as a direct infringe-
ment of religious liberty. It also urged the adequate
provision of schools in districts where there were
no board schools.

Literary Politicians.
The announcement of a new work by Mr. Disraeli
has set the Americans thinking that English society
has an advantage over their own in the fact
indulging
in its best thinkers are continually
in authorship. " We Americans," one of the
critics observes, "are very prone to estimate self-made
men. Our cousins also appreciate them, but they have a
class of men who are trained to thought and action."
Among these appear scholastic prodigies like Macau-
lay,Derby, Disraeli, and others. The result of all thisis
declared to be that politics and letters are blended,
and the fruit is a national benefit. Another writer
on the same subject asks why some of the American
politicians, who happen to be among the " outs," do
not turn their attention to fiction, and cites as an in-
stance that Mr. Andrew Johnson would be better
employed
. in writing a novel than in stirring up dis-
sension in Tennessee.

Mushroom Railway Undertakings.

A contemporary calls the attention of the investing
public to the numerous mushroom American rail-
way undertakings in the market. They appear to
have received liberal patronage in Germany, although
they have not been regarded with much favour in
London, and are making their way into the provinces.
In Manchester, Liverpool,Glasgow, and Edinburgh for
example, says our contemporary, subscriptions are now
being invited for the Indianopolis, Bloomington, and
IN estern Railway. It expresses a hone that Man-
chester investors will not prove tciemselves less
shrewd than their London brethren in this matter,
and will not have reason hereafter to regret their
easy credulity,

Details of the miserable results of emigration to
Venezuela come to us in the shape of an official
despatch from the Governor of Trinidad. It appears
that a small number of Englishmen had been sent
out to this place as colonists br a trading
company having its offices in London. They
arrived, almost utterly destitute, to find an unhealthy
locality on the Caura river, which, though wholly
unimproved, not a single tree having been cut or a
swamp drained or a hut built on it, had been
sold to them by the company at the price
of £4 for ten acres. This is the market price in
Venezuela for three square miles of land. Pre-
sident Della Costa sent them three months'
provisions from Ciudad Bolivar, a large part
of which were stolen by canoe men, and they
were attacked by dysentery fever and almost
starved. Eventually the party made their way
from the settlement, a third of them dying on their
way to Ciudad Bolivar. The officers of the
company, says the despatch, are at " No. 3,
the Crescent, American Square, London, E.C.,
and the firm are styled " The Chartered
American, English, and Venezuelan Trading and
-Commeicial Company." Intending emigrants will do
well to obey Captain Cuttle's inj unction with re-
ference to this company—" when found make a note
of."

LONDON, MONDAY, MAY 16, 1870.

Precisely as GOLDSMITH, according to GARRICK'S
epigrammatic gibe—

' " Wrote like an angel and talked like poor roll,"
GARIBALDI, it might very safely be asserted, when-
ever he draws his sword from its scabbard, proclaims
himself a hero ; but, on the other hand, whenever he
takes up a pen, writes himself down—what DOG-
BERRY wanted to be written down by the Sexton ! His
proclamations, his letters, his confidences (addressed
in a stage whisper to the universe), are all of them
a mixture of scurrility and rhodomontade. If only,
when the cacoethes scribendi is on him, some judicious
friend would but upset the inkstand ! Of late, how-
ever, he has taken quite systematically and energe-
tically to the indulgence of this wild passion of his
for—can we call it literature? He has written
within these last few months two novels—Cantoni
and Clelia--each of them decidedly sensational.
And now, at this present moment, in the current
number (for May) of Cassell's Magazine, among the
announcements of an originpl poem in French by
VICTOR HUGO, and of a translation of it into Eng-
lish by ALGERNON SWINBURNE, of a fresh instalment
of a serial story by WILKIE COLLINS, and of a
third paper by the Rev. A. W. FARRAR,
On middle-class Education, there appears con-
spicuously the intimation that there is also
to be found in the pages of that popular
sixpenny periodical, an article contributed by
General GARIBALDI, descriptive of his " Adventures
in South America." At Caprera, it was supposed in

The large and valuable range of Silver Mines which this com-
pany is formed to work is situated in the same rich district, and
in close proximity to the profitable Mines of the celebrated Real
del Monte Company, which, since its establishment in 1849, has
yielded Dividends to the Shareholders amounting to nearly
£3,000,000 sterling.
No drainage is now required as the shafts have all become dry
since the completion of the great Aviadero adit of the Real del
Monte Company.
Ore yielding only £6 9s. per ton pays all expenses. The result
therefore of numerous assays of ores taken from various parts
of these mines, and giving an average value of £45 10s. per ton,
cannot but be considered as highly satisfactory, more espe-
cially as the average produce of the 525,978 tons of ore, reduced
by the lcal del Monte Company up to 1865, was only £l3 4s. per
i 9031-; froirn which, nota444istanding,the great cost hammed by that

tional one ; but this advancing of loans
by the State has always been a favourite
project : the doctrine was preached long
before Mr. BRIGHT thought of it; and this great ap-
plication of the theory to practice is likely, more than
anything else in the measure, to be quoted as a prece-
dent. It would be rash to affirm that such aprospcct
constitutes a final objection to the plan ; but it is
certainly strange that it should not receive more
attention. The anomaly may however be explained.
It will be some time before this peasant proprietoi
system can come into general use, and contingencies
that are remote are seldom considered important—
most seldom of all in the British Legislature.
