nu su FOXHOUNDS.

The poisoning of foxhounds in Ireland is incoming
a more common form of outrage. It was at first
confined to Kilkenny ; now packs in the counties of
Limerick and Meatli are being treated in the same
way. A. few days since Sir David Roche received
an anonymous warning not to hunt with the
Limerick foxhounds in the direction of a certain
part of that county. The animals were hunted
with on Friday rather near the suspected locality,'
and the next day they were taken sick.

TEE " TIMES " COMMISSIONER AND lIIS OPPONENTS."

The Times' Commissioner on the Land Question has
been very vigorously assailed in Ireland. His theories
have been laughed at, his facts questioned, and his
general truthfulness denied. Lord Oranmore and;
Browne recently brought a sweeping charge against'
him. In reply the Commissioner challenged they
lord to substantiate even one case. No letter froml
Lord Oranmore having appeared, it was concluded
that lie had given the matter up ; but now he writes'
to another London journal :—" I replied to the chal
lenge of the Times Commissioner by return of post"
showing the incorrectness of some of his facts, as well
as the absence of any good foundation for many of hid
assertions; but the Times did not think well to pub-
lish my letter." This, it mustbe admitted, is hardly
fair treatment.

THE CHESTER CUP.

§pealing of the Chester Cup, a contemporarysays the
handicap boasts a grand entry, a wonderful number
of really gcod-class animals being engaged, and it
will be a matter for surprise if a far diffe-
•ent field does not contest this great event to
that which was seen in 1869. Of course last year's
victor, Knight of the Garter, is top weight, 9st 81b being
given to him, but it is reported that he will not run
again, but retire on his laurels to a quiet life at the
stud. See-Saw has Bst 121 b, a weight under which
it is not impossible for Lord Wilton's horse to
distinguish himself over this course. St. Mungo
ist. 121 b, is said to have recovered from his accident,
but for which he might have proved himself the
best three-year-old of his year. He ran a great horse
here in 1869, and may do the same a second time. Mac-
gregor, Mr. Merry's dark Derby candidate, is lightly
esteemed, as Knight of Athol, Captivator, and Exciseman
are all placed above him. The Middleham horses
Good Hope, l'st 101 b, and Thorwaldsen, 7st 101 b, are both
well in, as are those thorough stayers, Starter, 7s 41b, and
Cherie 6st. 101 b., whilst Birthday is a good animal, not
overweighted with ist. It is impossible to estimate the
chances of the three-year-olds, but there are any amount
in at feather weights of whose capabilities next to nothing
is yet known."

THREATENING LETTERS.

The threatening letter nuisance is spreading. It
has most recently attacked an advocate in a law case
at Dublin. Dr. Battersby, Q.C., employed as
counsel for plaintiff in an ejectment case, has
been warned that if he appears he will be shot. This'
is the first time that an advocate has been threatened;
and Dr. Battersby has laid the letter before the Irish
Court of Queen's Bench. The judges, however,
could do nothing ; for the defendant denied know-
ledge of the case, and the letter writer was not
known. Their lordships could only join in al denun-
ciation of the deed. Mr. Butt, Q.C., the advocate
for the defendant, and the " advanced" lawyer of the
I Dublin bar, spoke as warmly as anyone against the
i letter.

TEE PATENT LAWS.

The advocacy by two such men as the Earl of
Derby and Sir Roundell Palmer of the abolition of
the Patent Laws would of necessity attract attention;
and they make out so plausible a case that those who
do not go so far as themselves are mystified. For this
state inquiry is the only cure, and investigation
is the course advocated by the various bodies through-
out the country. The Liverpool Chamber of Com-
merce has been discussing the subject; a special
committee to report was appointed ; and the gen-
tlemen composing it have resolved to memorialise
the Government and the House of Commons. A.
House of Commons committee would meet the
wants of the Liverpool Chamber.

IMPROVED STATE OF THE COTTON TRADE.
At the annual meeting of the Manchester Chain-
ber of Commerce, Mr. J. M. Bennett, the president,
congratulated the members on the present prospects
of the cotton trade. He said they wore much
brighter than at this time last year. The consumption
of cotton, he remarked, had very much increased.
He believed that more cotton was grown during the
last season all over the world than during any
previous season ; yet the consumption had gone on
in an equal if not greater 'rate. He pointed to the
goods' traffic receipts of the railway companies as a
sure index of a revived. trade. He anticipated, he
said, that for half a dozen years to come the normal
price of cotton would not be under one shilling a
pound, owing to the increased demand. If this
probability were sufficiently appreciated, he believed
that confidence throughout the country would be
greatly improved.

THAMES.

DETAINING A SEAMAN'S EFFECTS.—Hiram Smith,
the captain of a Dutch ship called the Freert Jem,
appeared before Mr. Lushington charged with de-
taining the chest, sea kit, and other property of
John De Yong, a seaman.

Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, appeared for the
prosecution, and said that the complainant was the
mate of the Freert Jem on her late voyage, and
his wages bad been paid and all affairs settled before
the Dutch Consul, but the defendant would not
give up the complainant's effects, consisting of a
quadrant, boots, gun, bed, 3 flannel shirt., 3 pairs
of drawers, a monkey jacket, and other property.
The defendant justified his detention of the pro-
perty on the ground that he had paid the com-
plainant a sovereign too much. That was not so,
and if it was he could not set up such a plea after
settling with the complainant before the Consul of
his country, who was a most respectable functionary,
and would see justice done to both parties. The
value of the property detained was £lO.
The complainant verified, on oath, the statement
of his solicitor, on which the defendant asked the
mate, through the medium of au interpreter,
whether he did not agree to pay for a foretopyard
he had broken.

The mate said he bad not agreed to pay for it.
Mr. Lushington said the defendant had no right
to plead the loss of the yard as a set off against the
delivery of the property. lie ordered the restora-
tion of the things named in the summons, and ad-
judged Captain Smith to pay 235. costs.

STATE AID FOR EMIGRATION.

It is unfair to treat the project of State-assisted
emigration as altogether a new thing. It appears
that in 1819, Mr. Vansittart, afterwards Lord Bexley,
obtained from the House of Commons a vote of
£50,000 for emigration purposes. With this money
4,000 distressed persons of the artizan class were
despatched to Algoa Bay, where they became the
founders of the community which now occupies
the eastern provinces of Cape Colony, On
the other hand, it is none the less true that simi-
lar propositions have been declined within the reach
of younger memories. In 1843 Colonel Torrens had
persuaded himself that the country was in a
declining state, and that the only remedy lay
in systematic colonisation. He proposed to raise
a loan of twenty millions on the credit of colonial
land sales. The theory was stoutly discussed, one of
the Colonel's chief opponents being Mr. G. W. Nor-
man, who argued that periods of distress were con-
stantly occurrimr, and that the depression of 1843
was to be referred to temporary circumstances.
Nothing came of Colonel Torrens's scheme, and others
like it have shared the same fate.

1.11 k: MANCHESTER EDUCATION UNION.

A. meeting has been held at Liverpool to receive a
deputation from the National Education Union. The
Mayor, who presided, said that the two schemes,4
the Union and the League, could scarcely be
called rivals, as they were both schemes for good,;
but of the two ho advocated the denominational system.
Lord Howard of Glossop then addressed the meeting
on behalf of the Manchester Union. He said.'
they were not the pioneers of an attack-
ing army, but rather the firm defenders
of an important fortress which was being attacked.
rho invaders were men of great ability and long. .
pockets, and their object was to overturn the system
of education which has hitherto been carried on in
this country. The League based its experience of what;
ought to be done, or what is done, on what is done in
foreign countries, but the matters brought forward
ware not trustworthy. This was not a time to give
up the teaching of religion as a part of education.
The system of the League if carried out would be
one of police supervision and espionage only known
on the Continent.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, Feb. I.—The market for shipping
yarns is quiet, and very little business is doing.
Spinners are well engaged to order, and very firm
in their quotations ; but to effect sales lower prices
would have to be taken. Home-trade yarns are not
much in request, and only a small amount of busi-
ness has been effected. Prices are from id. to id.
per lb. easier than they were last week. For cloth
there has been very little variation in the tone of the
market since last Tuesday, and prices have not
been perceptibly affected. Producers are still well
under contract, and buyers having supplied their
wants for the present, there has been no anxiety
on their part to press for business. With the
exception of some demand out of stock we have had
very little inquiry this morning, and we hear of ex-
ceedingly little business having been done. Manu-
facturers adhere firmly to their quotations, but so
far as there is any tendency to change, it is in
favour of the buyer. Messrs. John Slagg and Co.
report of this day's cloth-market :—" There has
been no movement in our market since last Tues.
day, and neither buyers nor sellers appeared anxious
for business. To-day there is a quiet tone, and
but little inquiry except for small lots from stock.
Prices, though nominally unchanged, tend slightly
in the buyer's favour."
CARDIFF, Jan. 31.—The demand for steam coal
continues tolerably good from the principal foreign
stations. The arrivals during the last few days have
been rather numerous, and, this has enabled mer-
chants to execute their orders with rapidity and
despatch. The notices which expired on Saturday
at the Powells' Duffryn Collieries have been with-
drawn, and the works are to go on as usual. In the
house coal trade there is a considerable revival of
business, both the local consumption and the re-
quirements of West of England and Irish buyer.,
being in excess of what they were at the correspond-
ing period of last year. Coke suitable for iron

attendance in the flannel market to-lay than last
week, and a trifle more business was done. The
parcels of both plain and fancy flannels, however,
which changed hands were reskemively small. A
shade more business was done in Yorkshire goods,
the prices of which as also those of flannels keep
firm. For some kinds of wool, including New
Zealand and the Cape of Good Hope, there is rather
more inquiry and late prices are maintained.
London, England, 1870-02-02

THE WEST INDIES.

The "West India, Pacific, and Mexican Mails have
arrived, bringing intelligence from Havannah to the 7th
of January, when the thirteen gunboats arrived from
the United States. Thirty-nine rebels had been shot
that morning in the fort. Great rejoicings in
the Spanish squadron were taking place, and
the insurgents were forming themselves into guerilla
troops and destroying a vast amount of property. A largo
Spanish transport bad arrived at Porto Rico with
800 troops for reinforcements at Havannah.
The report of the rout and total discomfiture of
the Salnave party is confirmed from Hayti. The three
revolutionary steamers entered Port-au-Prince on the 18th
of December, captured the steamer, and landed 1,200 men.
The next day the steamers shelled the palace, half
the city was burnt, the powder magazine ex-
ploded, and many were killed on both sides. The
English Consul and the commander of her Majesty's ship
Defence exerted themselves to save life and property, and
offered safe conduct to Salnave if he would leave, to pre-
vent further bloodshed. Salnave at the date the snail left
fled towards San Domingo. Five of his generals had been
shot and 25 proscribed. He himself, as announced by
telegraph, has since been shot.

TICE ST. PANCRAS DIRT-HEAP.

, .
It is impossible to say when matters in bt. Pancras.
will arrive at their worst. One would have thought:
that stage had been reached long ago ; but each
succeeding week reveals fresh treasures of they
guardian mind" and fresh beautiei of locall
management. It may be instructive to recapitulate'
the various additions which have lately been made'
to the dirt-heap of this famous parish. Everybody
has heard of the outcry caused by the shocking state'
of the St. Pancras Infirmary—the overcrowding, eel
rats, the, foul closets, the bad ventilation. - The'
Guardians found themselves unable to deny the facts:
There could be no doubt that the state of the infir=
mary was disgraceful. Therefore the parish func-
tionaries straightway lodged a charge against Dr:
Ellis, who had been strenuous in his endeavours to'
reform the arrangements, to the effect that he, by,
closing the ventilators, and by other expedientshhad.
purposely brought about this discreditable state of
things, in order to disgrace the guardians. An
enquiry was ordered, which has just been concluded.
The local magnates, however, have found ',fresh'
matter for investigation. They charge Dr: Ellis'
with immoral conduct with one of the infirmarynurses. Dr. Ellis charges them with pressino.
her to extort a confession against him. Tife
nurse attempted to commit suicide, and Dr. E_llis
affirms that it was in consequence of her sham ,at!
confessing to an accusation which was not true. ThQ
guardians say that Dr. Ellis and his solicitor went'
to the bedside of the nurse previously to her examina-'
tion before the magistrates, and " virtually prevented a
true account being given of her attempted suiCiae.",
Such is the present position of affairs. The labyrinth of
foulness seems perfect, but it would be hazardous P.
say, after recent experience, that the men of
Pancras are not capable of improving upon

THE FRENCH MINISTRY.

According to the Paris correspondent of the Tele-
graph, M. 011ivier contemplates several changes in
his Cabinet. "He wishes to replace M. Buffet,
Minister of Finance, and M. Louvet, Minister of
Commerce, by MM. Magne and Forcade. This course
will be opposed by M. Daru, Minister for Foreign
Affairs, who has expressed his intention to resign,
should M. Buffet be compelled to give up his
portfolio." If M. Buflet be replaced and
Count Daru resign in consequence, the Cabinet will
lose its only representatives from the Left Centre, and
will be composed solely of the Right Centre and the
old Imperialists. Should 31. 011ivier try this
manoeuvre, he will have boxed the compass
completely. He will have travelled in search of
power from the Republican Left to the supporters of
the old despotism. And the last fragment of
public confidence in his political morality will
have vanished. It was precisely the presence of
Count Daru and M. Buflet in the most important
posts that gave the 011ivier Cabinet the position it
has attained.

TIIE MIPEROIt'S ASSAILANT.

There is romance both in the history of the man
who once saved the life of the Emperor of Russia
and in the history of the Pole who tried to kill him.
The young Russian who preserved the Czar from
assassination at St. Petersburg was made a nobleman,
and indulged in excesses which soon ended his life.
Berezowsld, the Pole who attempted to murder the_
Emperor at Paris in 1807, has also come to a tragic
end. He was condemned to Denalservitude forlife.

complaints, might be altogether prevented by the
use of these harmless, et effectual and reliable remedies.
It is painful to hear of the many fatal cases, which com-
menced with the ordinary symptoms of a common cold.
Mdloway's ointment rubbed upon the back and chest
prevents all disastrous consequences. It soothes the in-
flamed lining of both throat and chest. After rubbing in
the ointment for a few days the pectoral irritation and
the tightness of breathing diminish, the cough becomes
looser and less frequent, and the phlegm is expectorated
with less difficulty, till the lungs become free and respi-
ration natural.

THE LAW OF DISTRESS.

The " Derwentwater Romance" is a story with a
plentitude of moral. To the preacher it is an example
of -vicissitude ; to the quiet man an instance of how
freely one may now-a-days break the law and pro-
duce disorder with strict retribution ; to many people
an illustration of how insecure is he who dwells on
princes' favour; to the advanced politicians a protest
against certain points of the law concerning landlord
and tenant. In this latter light Mr. Charles Neate,
present Senior Follow of Oriel College, Oxford, late
member of Parliament for Oxford City, regards
the Romance. He writes to the Dail) News protest-
ing against a law which gives a landlord everything
—an unjust precedence over other creditors and a
power to take away a tenant's goods in case of a debt,
whether disputed or not ; and leaves nothing to the
tenant save redress by civil action. There are no
safeguards whatever. The landlord may not be the
real owner of the land, may only think himself such;
and yet he has power to enter another's ground
without even a properly qualified " sworn and known"
bailiff, and can take away any goods he can lay hands
upon. Mr. Charles I\eate hopes that the law will be
corrected.
London, England, 1870-02-02

LEGITIMATE BUSINESS.

It is a pity that INIr. Carlyle, who once rejoiced
at the notion of discovering the most foolish
of living persons, did not go and look for him
in Pall Mall. In that region a certain coal-dealer
carried on business as the " Pall Mall Guinea Coal
Company," thereby infringing the right of the original
company under that name. An injunction was
granted against him, but instead of frankly giving up
the title, he placed a piece of paper over the first three
words, and left in view a representation of a sove-
reign and a shilling on the window blind. Vice-
Chancellor Malins has decided that this freak is con-
tempt of court. How the coal agent could have
expected that the law would tolerate such shuffling,
it is hard for anyone who does not answer to Mr.
Carlyle's ideal to say.

REPUDIATION.
The Americans find repudiation such a capital bogie
for terrifying European holders of five-twenties, that
they are exceedingly loth to part with it. They have
decided that the ghost shall not walk this earth in
substantial form ; they have resolved to pay in gold
and in full; and yet they are constantly reviving the
subject, and discussing resolutions for the mere purpose,
it would seem, of frightening their European credi-
tors and degrading their financial position in the
European capitals. The House of Representatives
has just had a little fun of this kind. It has, by a
majority of 120 against 41, ordered to be laid on the
table a resolution in favour of redeeming the five-
twenties in greenbacks, and condemning the Adminis-
tration for redeeming such bonds at a high rate of
premium, when it has a right to claim them at par.
Of course the Administration will pursue the even
tenour of its way, as it has done before under similar
circumstances.

LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1870

TWENTY-ONE years ago, while listening, one day, here
in London, to " the unadorned eloquence of RICHARD
COBDEN "—it was on the platform at an enormous
meeting, expressive of sympathy for the cause of the
refugee Hungarians—we were startled by hearing
him, of all men, the Orator of Common Sense, indulge,
for once in his life, in one of those rhetorical flights
of raw spoken of among the Yankees ley the
name of high falutin l In the Wording of it, Mr.
COBDEN'S hyperbole was =Jelled in the simplest
possible language—the notion he wanted to express
at the moment being realised to his hearers by the
homeliest illustration. Yet, for all that, the phrase
which has ever since been historical, was
nothing less than the tallest of tall talking, the
highest of high falutin. Tell me of the
power of Russia ! " said Mr. COBDEN, in a tone of
scorn that awakened to a breathless silence the atten-
tion of his hearers—" Why one could as easily crumple
up Russia [that was the phrase that has ever singe

DEFEAT OF THE FRENCH.

Ofhcial.despatches received from Tours yesterday
State that a battle was fought on Sunday between
`'fillers Bretonneux and Soleur, near Amiens, which
lasted the whole of the day. At the corn-
Inencement the fortune of the day was in
favour of the French, who maintained their position
up to half-past four, when V illers Bretonneux was
abandoned before the superior forces and powerful
artillery of the Germans. The French also sus
tamed a defeat before Boves, but at Dury they
Inaintained their position. The number of German
troops engaged is estimated at 3,000.

THE SIEGE OF PARIS.
HEAD-QUARTERS OF THE CROWN PRINCE OF
PRUSSIA, VERSAILLES, November 26.
No sortie from Paris yet. The delay is attributed
to the desire of General Trochu to give his troops
the best possible chance by drilling them for a long
Period and preparing them for the itruggle.
Much satisfaction is felt here at the conclusion of
the treaty with Bavaria securing the unity of Ger-
many for all military purposes. The King of
Bavaria i. 3 Comman ler-in-Chief of the army in time

BERLIN, Ncvember 28.
Prince Wittgenstein, the Russian military agent
at Paris, has been forbidden by General Trochu to
leave the city, as his Government has ordered him
t° do. It is supposed that General Trochu does not
wish to run the risk of having the truth about the
state of Paris communicated to the enemy.
The German foreposts have been forbidden to
give bread and peas-pudding to the French f ore-
P°Bts• Large numbers of the Parisians, digging for
potatoes in the fields, have been fired upon by the
Germans.
Fuel, petroleum, and oil are very dear in Paris.

BAIOANDAGE IN SPAIN.

Brigands have been killed by the Guardia Civil in
the neighbourhood of San Roque. Threatening
letters had been received by inhabitants of Estepiria,
Manilva, San Roque, And Cesares. A. demand was
made upon Senor Dqn Manuel Sales for 24,000 reale,
to be delivered at some spot on the road between
between San Roque and the property of the Duke
de Osuna, The Authorities wore made acquainted with
theme circumstances, and a captain and six men
were sent at night to surround a hut where it was
suspected the brigands, who anticipated receiving the
24,000 reels, would rendezvous. Four brigands were
seen to enter the hut, but the plan of the captain
was upset by the barking of a dog. Seeing them-
selves hemmed in, the robbers offered to surrender
on condition that their lives were spared. The cap-
tain agree to this, and on sheaving himself he was
fired at and slightly wounded in the head. A
bayonet charge resulted in the death of two of the
robbers. The other two escaped. One was wounded.
Previous to the charge with the bayonet, one of the
Guardias was shot. The Governor of the province
has officially thanked the Guard* for their impor-
tant service.

Fivp papers were published Metz during the sieges
and copies of these papers are row sold at a very high
price. A. single number at the Impartial has fetched 40
francs. Half a sheet, framed in black, which contained
the text of the capitulation, was sold for twenty-five
francs.

FREE-SHOOTERS.

The French free corps form one of the most singu-
ar features of the war. They come from every
conceivable source; they are armed in divers ways;
they wear the most diverse of costumes. All parts
of France, the colonies, the United States and
Canada, Algeria and Greece, Italy and Spain,
Rio Janeiro and Monte Video, have fur-
nished contingents. Almost all wear the
short tunic or thick woollen blouse, gene-
rally of dark colours, black, green, blue, and brown,
while some few corps have adopted the grays and
buffs in favour among English Volunteers. Leggings
or gaiters of cloth, canvas, or leather are universal ;
many wear red or blue scarves round their waists. In
the matter of headdress there is great variety. The
Basques wear the national flat cap with
a tassel. Some wear Tyrolese hats, others
wide-awakes ; some look like Grindoff, the
miller of renown, some like Fra Diavola ; some are
dressed on the model of D'Artagnan's three mus-
keteers. One corps was arrayed in black, and its
members never spoke ; hut these heroes have all been
killed or taken already. The Greek corps has a
peculiar close-fitting cap, with a band of black fur
round the brow, The Germans affect to despise
these irregulars, but the Times correspondent and
other authorities say that the Freeshooters are a
serious annoyance increasing escort and outpost
duty, and causing a general sense of insecurity.
