OUTWITTED.

The Protectionists are fighting a hard battle in the
United States, but the American papers tell us that
they have just met with a serious and un-
expected discomfiture. Some time since Mr.
Commissioner Wells, the Special Commissioner
of the Revenue, made a most important report,
shewing plainly how greatly the commercial interests
of the country suffered under the almost prohibitory
tariff. This report, which attracted a great deal of
attention, of course aroused the ire of the
Protectionists, who assailed the Commissioner
with true Yankee energy and decision. A com-
mittee of the House of Representatives has since
been appointed, called the Committee on Manufac-
tures, with the view of thoroughly investigating the
question. The majority of this committee (Pro-
tectionists, of course) exerted themselves to procure
a host of evidence refuting Mr. Wells's statements.
They spared neither trouble nor expense in so doing, and
prepared a re?ort most bitterly hostile to a man
whom they represented as wilfully false or inex-
cusably ignorant of what he professed to know.
It was their charitable intention to Fet
this report printed and circulated without giving
Mr. Wells an opportunity of answering it, but
unluckily for this honourable design, the minority
thought differently. They forwarded to the Commis-
sioner the heads of the report, inviting him to reply to
it, which he did in full, supplementing his former state-
nmets by plain and irrefragable evidence from the
Customs, &c. This reply the minority incorporated in
their own report, which they obtained the permission.
of the House to have printed with that of the ma-
jority, and accordingly the startled Protectionists,
instead of having the field to themselves, found, to
their horror, when their report appeared, that to it
was attached a crushing reply from their arch
enemy to the whole of their ingeniously prepared
attack.

THE SMALL PDX IN PARIS.

The Post has little doubt that the French will not allow
the present epidemic of small-pox to pass away without
extracting from it permanent results. Perhaps some
amongst ourselves also will have the sense to turn it to
profit. The only well-ascertained fact with regard to vac-
cination is that it has lessened the mortality from small-
pox in Europe by between thirty and forty millions of
lives. The mortality in Europe from this disease before
Jenner's discovery was half a million a year. But small-
pox has now been almost exterminated in Ireland and
Scotland, and it retains its footing in England only
amongst those persons who have not been vaccinated.
This consideration ought surely to weigh with the Legis-
lature against any attempt to lessen the compulsory
character of its enactments in regard to vaccination.
Against the two hundred and eighteen deaths
which have occurred in one week in Paris, only
nineteen were registered in the same week in London. This
is the hightest number which has been registered since 1868,
and the victims for the most part were unvaccinated
children. In the face of such clearly conclusive results
the opponents of compulsory vaccination have nothing to
object except theories which have only a fanciful foun-
dation. Two generations have come and gone since
Dr. Jenner made his discovery, and no proof is forth-
coming that vaccination has operated prejudicially to the
human frame. So far from that, there is overwhelming
testimony to its sanitary power ; and when Parliament
is asked to withdraw the compulsory enactments on this
subject in deference to fanciful prejudices, unprejudiced
people have, we must think, a right to call attention
to convictions which are supported by evidence. We can-
not permit the folly of ignorant people to keep the doer
open for the admission of a terrible disease.

GREAT FIRE AT FALMOUTH.

A fire, which raged six hours, broke out in Falmouth
yesterday morning, destroying business premises, stock,
and furniture of the value of some thirty thousand pounds.
Twelve of the best houses in Market-street were burnt
down, besides lofts, cellars, and small tenements. The
loss is, to some extent, covered by insurances. The town
was visited yesterday by large numbers from other parts of
the country to inspect the scene of the conflagration.

MR. COBDEN.

Looking at the lucidity and force exhibited in the
collected speeches just published by the Cobden Club, the
Telegraph observes that we see what England has lost by
the death of Cobden. The keen intellect which could
cut through the cobwebs of a sophistical morality would
have been invaluable last year, when Mr. Gathorne
Hardy and the Bishop of Peterborough were branding
her Majesty's Ministers as a gang of sacrilegious robbers.
Equally invaluable during the recent discussions on the
Irish Land Bill would the House have found that wealth
of homely logic and of clear statement which sentenced
the Corn Laws to death. In Mr. Cobden the Prime
Minister would have had a coadjutor of rare complete-
ness. In one respect, and in one. only, did the efforts of
the great Free-trader signally fail. That Manchester
school of which he was the leading champion has lost its
hold over English political life. Its creed is too narrow,
too thin, too much that of the counting-house, to deter-
mine the Imperial policy of a great people. When, for
example, it proposed that England should cut the colonies
adrift because they were an expensive luxury, it failed to
measure, or even to note, those forces of sympathy which
prompt the colonies to seek the creation of a great confe-
derate league between themselves and the mother coun-
try. Had he lived a few years longer, Mr. Cobden might
have softened the edges of his political creed, and taken
his place among those constructive reformers so well re-
presented by Mr. Forster. As, however, we call to mind
the splendid achievements of the Free Trader's life, it h,
almost ungrateful to point the finger of criticism at his
shortcomings. The volumes published by the Cobden
Club are a lasting record of noble work nobly done. To a
coming generation they will be a heritage of sound econo-
mical exposition, and they will be a political text-book to
the statesmen of the future. -

SPAIN.

MADRID, June 4.

Marshal Espartero has sent a reply to the manifesto of
his partisans, absolutely refusing the crown. In the Cortes
the bill for electing a king was discussed ; and Senor
Aria's amendment requiring the election to be carried by a
large majority of those deputies whose elections are con-
firmed, was adopted 106 to 96. The amendment requires
170 votes for the election in place of 89, which would
satisfy the requirementf of the bill. The Montpensierists
opposed the amendment. The amendment will be sub-
mitted a second time to the vote. The Ministry will
oppose it.

SPAIN AND GREECE.

Thanks, says the Telegraph, to the better management
of the officials the capture by Spanish brigands has
had a very different issue from that which so
tragically crowned the exploits of their compatriots in
Greece. The two Englishmen captured near Gibraltar
have been released, and are now safe again,
under shelter of the guns of that redoubtable fortress,
and the result says something for the efficiency of the in-
ternal administration under the present so-called provi-
sional system. It is clear enough that the Minister of the
Interior wields a power which is felt far from the centre
of Government, and that the local authorities want
neither •tact nor energy in carrying out their instruc-
tions. The contrast between Spain and Greece could
not be more complete. Serrano and Prim may have their
faults, but no one, even at Madrid, thinks of accusing
them of complicity with brigand arrangements. There is
no awkward fighting at cross purposes between members
of the same Cabinet, no suspicion that the nominal
defenders of the law tamper with its worst ene-
mies, and nu encouragement of bandits as a reserve
with which to stir up civil war within the dominions of
a friendly neighbour. Spain is making great efforts under
serious disadvantages to secure the respect of more stable
Powers, and we may welcome every proof that she gives
of success in internal administration, as strengthening her
claim to stand on terms of equality among civilised
European States.

The East Suffolk Election.

The Conservatives have retrieved their character
in East Suffolk. However tardy their adoption of a
" fit" candidate may have been, the majority by which
they have elected him proves that they were only too
satisfied as to the result of the election. From noon
on Monday Lord Mahon's friends steadily increased,
and at the close of the poll his return had been
secured by 130 votes over. those of his opponent.
Sir Shafto Adair had 49 fewer votes
than the number recorded for him at the
last contest. The constituency, contains 9,024 regis-
tered electors, so that it will be observed from the
number of electors polled on Monday(3,4sl and 3,321
respectively) that enthusiasm on either side was
wanting to a very serious extent. Although
East -Suffolk has for years been a Con-
servative stronghold, Lord Mahon deserves all
praise for his energy in rallying together
his partisans against the powerful influence accorded
to Sir Shafto Adair in right of his being a resident and
a popular landlord. No fewer than twenty elections
have now taken place since the opening of the year,
sixteen Liberals and four Conservatives having been
returned. The only Conservative gain in this num-
ber was at the Southwark election, and against
this victory the Liberals were enabled . to count
triumphs in two new places—Nottingham and
Bridgnorth.

Mr. CANDLISH moved the second reading of this bill,

his motion.
THE GREEK MURDERS.
On the motion for going into Committee of Supply on
the Navy Estimates,
Sir JAMES ELPHINSTONE drew attention to a statement
which he had made on the previous night to the effect that
if the naval force in Greek waters had not been reduced
the murders which recently took place would not have
occurred. He now repeated that statement, and remarked
that it was a most dangerous thing to reduce the squad-
rons on foreign stations.
Sir J. HAT expressed his opinion that if Mr. Erskine
had had an English war vessel instead of a Greek gun-
boat the massacre would not have happened.
Mr. CHILDERS again assured the hon. gentleman that
the Mediterranean fleet had not been reduced.

NAVAL ADMINISTRATION.

On the motion for going into committee of supply on
the Navy Estimates,
Mr. CORBY drew attention to the return ordered to be
printed, in reference to the navy victualling yards. The
hon. gentleman condemned the system of supplying stores
to the navy.
Mr. BAXTER in replying to the observation made by
Mr. Corry, pointed out the immense saving which had
been effected by the system now in vogue.

CHATHAM AND PORTSMOUTH DOCKYARDS.
Mr. CAWLEY moved for a select committee to inquire
into the circumstances and causes which have led to the
large increase in the cost of the works for the extension of
the dockyards at Chatham and Portsmouth beyond the
amounts set forth in the Act 28 and 29 Vic., c. 51; also,
into the circumstances which have led to the disposal of
Deptford Dockyard for an amount so much below the
value thereof stated in the Stock Valuation Account.
The hon. gentleman entered at some length into the
system that had been pursued with respect to works going
on in these dockyards, and said he thought the House
would agree with him that it was desirable that some ex-
planation should be given why contracts entered into in
the year 1869, had net been signed, and laid
on the table on the last day of May, 1870.
He was also of opinion that it was most de •
sirable that it should be explained why works and the
contracts which had been entered into with a view to
economy should have been taken out of the hands of private

HORRIBLE OUTRAGE AND MURDER.

A fearful occurrence has just taken place at Glenfarn, 13
miles from Enniskillen. A farmer named Dolan having
become jealous of his wife, who was enceinte,
after severely beating her attacked her with a knife, and
while he was thus engaged the child was born.
He killed the child with the knife, and, believing his wife
to be dead, set fire to the house and decamped. Her
screams, however, attracted the notice of the neigh-
bours, who arrived in time to rescue her from the
flames, but she is not ()xi acted t• survive. Dolan has:been
arrested.

The Nonconformists and Education.

The Nonconformists, as far as they are represented by
the Birmingham Central Committee,have pronounced
against the Government amendments to the Educa-
tion Bill. They have passed resolutions condemning
those amendments, inasmuch as it is still left in the
power of the school boards to require the schoolmaster
to teach sectarian formularies and dogmas; and that
unless such amendments are introduced into the
Bill as shall secure that the religious instruction
given in schools supported or aided by the rates is
confined to the reading of the Scriptures, it will be
the duty of the Nonconformists to do their utmost to
prevent the passing of the measure.
County Magistrates.

It is ordinarily the case that justices of the peace
are recommended by the Lord-Lieutenant, and ap-
pointed by the Lord Chancellor on such recommen-
dation. But in the Duchy of Lancaster. which has a
Chancellor of its own, the recommendation of
the Lord-Lieutenant has lately been dispensed
with, and the Chancellor of the Duchy has
made the appointments on his own responsibility.
Hence it happened that Messrs. Fenwick and
Schneider, who were unseated for bribery, crept
into the Lancashire magistracy again, through the
inadvertence of Lord Duflerin. Mistakes of this
kind will be avoided in future. The Government
have resolved to return to their old system of nomi-
nation.
London, England, 1870-06-01

Poisonous Tea.

Dr. Muter reports that the trade in the lowest
class of adulterated tea continues. He procured
samples from no less than eighty chests exposed for
sale, and found that they consisted of a variety
of rubbish sold for twopence three farthings
per pound. The stuff yielded an ash amounting
to 22.86 per cent. chiefly consisting of iron filings,
and under the microscope presented the structures of
many foreign vegetable matters. But the worst
sample that cane under his notice was a green tea
from India, highly faced, and yielding an ash contain-

ing a quantity of copper. This, he observes, is
really a sad thing, because it was thought that Indian
planters had retrained from such practices. Dr.
Muter adds that the colour seems to have been pro-
duced by roasting in contact with copper.
While there is hope, however, that this
prompt discovery and exposure of what is
presumed to be the first case, as far as India is con-
cerned, may discourage a continuance of the practice,
a correspondent from Shanghai communicates the
satisfactory intelligence that recent proceedings in
London are likely to put a stop to shipments from
China of the compound known as Maloo mixture.
Hired Carriages.

The service of hired carriages recently established
in London, by a limited liability company, has up to
the present time proved a complete success. There
• are now two depots, at which horses and carriages
stand, not exposed like cabs and cab-horses
to the inclemency of the weather, but ready
to be turned out at a moment's notice. The object is
to provide conveyances which, with a due regard to
economy, shall combine the comfort and style of a
private carriage with the ready accessibility of a street
cab. For instance, the one-horse broughams have
been built expressly for the company at £lOO each.
They have roomy front seats, are painted dark blue,
lined with blue cloth, and fitted with spring silk
blinds ; in fact they precisely resemble ordinary pri-
vate carriages. They are horsed by fine horses, and
the drivers, who are in dark blue livery, are
all men of guaranteed good character such
as would he engaged as private coachmen. A
conveyance of this kind can be instantly obtained
from either depot at a charge of one shilling for the
first, and ninepence each successive mile. For a
day of ten hours the charge is a guinea, or six
guineas for a week of seven days. When hired by
the mile or hour an additional sixpence is charged
for each person in excess of two. It may
be added that the carriages of the company do not
come under the operation of the Hackney ,Carriage
Act. The managers will, therefore, refuse to convey
dirty or infected persons, and the carriages will be
free to enter the parks and other places from which
cabs are excluded.

The Costs on Distress Warrants.

An abuse was noticed by the judge of the Liver-
pool County Court at the last sitting, which has
long been a serious injustice to the poor. During
the hearing of a case it transpired that nearly £3 had
been charged as costs in a distress which had only
realised 1 -Is.lllr. Ley Wheeler commented in strong
terms of indignation upon the poor people being
plundered in this way, and described it as " a regular
piece of cheating." According to the legal scale all
that could be charged was 55.. The judge
suggested that the matter should be investigated.
The Manufacturing City of Ireland.

Lord Chancellor O'Hagan, in distributing the prizes
to the successful workmen competitors at the Belfast
Exhibition .a day or two since, congratulated the
citizens on the vast increase that had of late years
taken place in the linen industry. He thought
that they ought to be very proud of
the name they had obtained for themselves as
growers of flax and manufacturers of snowy cam-
brics, without having bad the support of Govern-
, .ment or of the public purse in the matter. By self-
reliance and self-exertion alone, they had advanced
with the first of industrial cities in the world, and; in
his opinion, the inventiveness, ingenuity, integrity, and
honest character of the Ulster men reflected an
honour of no questionable value on Ireland in
general, at a crisis in her history when appreciation
of the toil and labour her Sons were willing to under-
take and to persevere in, was at a discount
in England. His lordship's encouraging
words, will, no doubt, aid in strengthening
the vast impulse, which, in all probability, will
be given in a few months to the trade of
Ulster. It has been found that an immense percen-
tage of the flax fibre when undergoing the scutching
process, passes into tow, owinc, to the imperfect
nature of the machinery used inreland. For years
defects in cranks and jennies have puzzled astute minds,
and although machinery for this extremely valuable
branch of husbandry has been improved wonderfully,
until a very short time ago flax dressers still continued to
lose considerably. After an expenditure of many thou-
sands of pounds, a new " breaker" has recently been
patented by a Liverpool gentleman, a Mr.
Hodgkin, and as it is found that this machine
produces a yield from average flax of about 2811):
per cwt. (which is 25 per cent.) without loss, a
result heretofore looked upon as impossible, there is
no reason to fear but that the industry of Belfast
will now receive an impetus which will contribute
much happiness to the people of that city, and aid
largely in bettering the hopes and prospects of Irish-
men generally.

DEATH ON THE ALPS.

An account of a shocking accident, which happened at
Lugano, by which a young Englishman named Royd, son
of the well-known banker of Rochdale, lost his life, is
given in a letter to the Times. The writer says : "Mr.
Royd had arrived at the Hotel du Parc with his uncle,
Mr. Smith, and others of his family, on the evening
of Wednesday, the 25th, and set out for
Monte Salvatore, accompanied by a sister and a
cousin. The long-continued hot weather has made
the grass very slippery, and the ill-fated young man
missed his footing, fell over the perpendicular precipices
of the mountain, and was killed, probably instantaneously.
The poor young ladies, heartbroken, .pont 801110
hours with utmost peril to themselves, in searching
for his body. When found, one of the two re-
mained on the mountain to keep watch over the
corpse, while the other returned to Lugano for as-
sistance. It was far in the night before the sorrow-
stricken girl reached the hotel, and about 1 a.m. a large
body of men with lanterns, and accompanied by a doctor,
started for the scene of the accident. They relieved the
solitary guardian of her agonising midnight watch, and
conveyed Mr. Royd's remains to the hotel.
The relatives are stunned with the suddenness
of the calamity ; but all that the most con-
siderate kindness can suggest is beihg done for
them by the proprietor of the hotel, M. Bella, and his
excellent wife. Singularly enough, Ascension Day is the
annual fester of the Monte Salvatore, and the mountain
would be thronged with many hundreds of people within
a few hours of the accident. It will be well if no fresh
calamity occurs. The mountains are beginning to claim
theft' yearly toll of human sacrifices very early this year."

DEATH FROM SOMNAMBULISM.

Yesterday Mrs. Ann Bryant, of West Teignmouth,
aged 68, died from injuries received on Monday night from
a fall, the result of somnambulism. She had risen from
her bed without rousing her husband, and opened the win-
dow, apparently with the intention of walking on the
roof, but missed her footing and fell to the ground, where
she lay until the morning.

Edward Driver, clerk, late in the employment of
Richard Noverre Bacon, proprietor of the Norwich Mercury
newspaper, was charged at the Norwich Police Court
yesterday with embezzling money, the property of his em-
ployer. Prisoner was remanded till Saturday. The
accused was formerly a clerk at the Norwich Union Fire
Office.

At a meeting of the Stirling Town Council on Monday it
was resolved to throw open the richly endowedhospitals of
the burgh for educational purposes. A scheme was pro-
pounded for the establishment and endowment of elemen-
tary and advanced schools to furnish education to all
classes at a nominal fee. The amount to be placed at the
disposal of the Council, after satisfying annuitants, will
be £4,640. This action was taken under the Endowed
Schools Act.

CARELESS CONDUCTORS.

The coroner's jury investigating the Missouri Pacific
Railroad slaughter have found that it was all " caused 11
the disobedience and negligence of William Odor, con-
ductor of the extra freight train." Turning again to the
testimony of this William Odor before the jury, we find
him confessing that, after the collision, he left the scene
of disaster and death, and ran away to St. Paul, to re-
port the accident." But, according to his own statement,
this was not his only motive for getting out of the way as
soon as possible. "I apprehended," he said, " danger
from the passengers ; they generally get excited and blame
some one." What unreasonable passengers ! Well, if a
conductor like William Odor should, some time, be
lynched by the survivors of " an accident," perhaps the
influence of an awful example might diminish the " dis-
obedience and negligence" of conductors in general.--

AQUATICS AT CAMBRIDGE—STRANGE SCENE.
The University boat races at Cambridge yesterday were
of a somewhat sensational character. On the second
division races at the start second Trinity drifted across
the stream and fouled a barge, and on attempting to get
away from third Trinity the boat capsized, and all the
crew were thrown into the water, but were happily
enabled to swim. to the shore. There was considerable
confusion amongst a large number of the succeeding boats
in the division. There was only one bump.

BURIAL OE SIR JOHN SIMEON.

THE IRISH PRESS,

The Standard thinks the Irish press is much to be
pitied for the failure of the Fenians in Canada. No
rapider countermarch is recorded in history than this of
the Irish Nemesis, who came to revemze the wrongs of Erin
in battle line upon the Canadians. "No Fenian has pene-
trated a mile into Canada, or stood half an hour on Canadian
soil." This is very disheartening after all the sympathies
and good wishes which had been poured on O'Neill
and his braves by their friends in Ireland. What cruel
destiny is this which insists not only in confounding the
enterprises of the Fenian heroes, but in covering them
with ridicule? How are we to maintain the sentiment
proper to national heroism when within four-and-twenty
hours of the march of the patriots into Canada their chief
anxiety is found to be touching the railway fare to their
homes? The Flag of Ireland, under the head of " an Irish
Nemesis " says that if England will only do justice to
Ireland Canada may rest in peace and O'Neil's occupa-
tion's gone. "Until then the Nemesis will hang on
the heels of the Dominion." But this, by its own
shewing. is a very Irish Nemesis, which hangs on
the heels of one people in order to be avenged on
another. If the Canadians had any share in pro-
ducing the wrongs of Ireland—if it were possible
for them to remedy those wrongs—we could understand
a Nemesis, even in the uncomely guise of a Fenian
general, hanging on the heels of the Dominion. But
why should be plundered because of something,
done by England—more espooicaly why -Canada, should
be assailed by the American Irish for something done to
the home Irish—passes all ordinary understanding.
These Irish journals, it will be seen, are not only
accounting for the event, but justifying the deed. They
do not only say thas it is very natural for the A.merjoan
Irish to attack Canada to gratify their rage against Eng-
land, but they maintain that it is just and proper that
the wrongs of Ireland should be redressed through the
robbery and slaughter of the free Canadian people. These
are sentiments which deserve the serious attention of the
law officers of the Crown in connection with the new act
for the preservation of peace in Ireland, for they are un-
doubtedly as seditious as they are grossly immoral, and
opposed to the peace and welfare of society.

NAVY ESTIMATES.

The House then went into Committee on the Navy
Estimates. A discussion, which lasted more than two
hours, .was raised on the proposed grant of £779,090
necessary to defray the expenses of naval stores, building,
repairing, and outfitting of the fleet and coast-
guard.—Mr. GOURLEY moved to reduce the sum
by £33,000 ; but the proposition was negatived without
a dvision, and the original amount was granted.
The next estimate was £466,173 in respect to steam ma-
chinery and ships building by contract, and after some
discussion the amount was voted. The sum of £744,232
was granted to defray new works, buildings, machinery,
and repairs. The sum of £133,966, to defray the expenses
of Greenwich Hospital and schools was voted, and the
House resumed.
