A. TRADES UNION ON EMIGRATION.

The members of the Amalgamated Society of Car-
penters and Joiners have turned their attention to
the question of emigration, with a view to carry out
some practical plan of assisting those who desire to

lessen the surplus of labour at home. Mr. Apple-
garth, the secretary, in his report, suggests the loan
of troopships, and a little timely aid from Govern-
ment to facilitate the scheme. By this means, with
such assistance as philanthropists and practical
men would cheerfully give, he says a fair
proportion of unskilled as well as skilled workmen
with their families might be removed from scenes of
want and suffering to a life of useful industry. Surely
he adds, this would be preferable to a continuance of
the ruinous drain on the very flower of our skilled
workmen, who by their energy and -ability have saved
sufficient to enable them -to transfer to other lands
that which constitutes the wealth of nations.

A SPIRITUALIST ORGAN.

A new weekly paper has been recently published
devoted to the cause of spiritualism, but we fear, from a
leading article in the current number of the journal, that
Spiritualists are not as yet sufficiently alive to the blessing
thus bestowed upon them. The proprietor declares that
his j ournal has excited universal satisfaction from all shades
of Spiritualists, but he remarks also that thus far he is £lO
out of pocket, and asks whether it is right that he should
find both matter and money. He states, also, that he
" would be glad to receive 100 letters containing sums of
25 or so," and adds naïvely, "We set no limits to the
number of contributors or the antounts donated." We
trust that this curious call upon " rich spiritual brothers
and sisters " will meet with a response, for if,
to outsiders at least, the Medium appears feebly
written, there can be no doubt that some of the
news contained in it is extremely entertaining,
We read of a lady, who, Ly the way, has been subject to
epileptic fits and is now a seer of spirits, who actually felt
the robes of the angels as they stood by her brother's
death-bed, and saw the spirit as it separated from the
body. A correspondent from Wales writes that both his
wife and himself are " developing," that he has been made
to dance, and when the influence passes off, hears noises
all the night after, " and the sound as of a heavy box
being dragged along the room." Then we hind a long
account of a children's lyceum for the promotion of truth,
Purity, beauty, music, philosophy, and health ; for
" teaching the young spirit to love reverently Father God
and Mother Nature ; " and, among other means of pro-
moting the
" harmonisation of the spiritual part," it is
proposed to hold conversations with the children " con-
cerning Life in the Summer Land." There is a letter, too,
from Mr. Morse a celebrated medium, stating that
his beloved guide'
Tien S'l en Tie, has requested him
to abstain from holdingtra. A
anys mr,
private
Morse informsvatecircle3 h
untiltt
he hears to the cone
editor of the Medium that he has "exhausted his vitality,"
the advice of the spirit is no doubt exceedin yjudicious,
This command is very recent, for, on the 21stg of April,
Tien
A 11
Tien gave a lecture at Clerkenwell, through the mediuni-
ship of Mr. Morse, which appears to us sometimes con-
fused, sometimes wholly unintelligible, and sometimes
common-place ; but as " the room was very hot, and
the atmosphere foul," the spirit, perhaps, suffered as
if still dwelling in the flesh.—Pall Mall Gazette.

The Yanellester Giardian remarkss-Olaf at an adjourned
meeting of the creditors of T. Moffat ana Co. held in the
offices of Messrs. Grundy, Coulson, and Co., the report of
the committee of investigation appointed at a previous
meeting was received and read. It was moved that the
estate be wound up in bankruptcy ; but it was ultimately
agreed by a majority that a composition of 4s. in the
sound should be accepted.

A PUBLIC PROSECUTOR WANTED.

The grievances of private individuals who rashly
undertake to prosecute offenders have been
forcibly stated by a hapless correspondent of the
Times. His wife was robbed of her purse, but the thief
was immediately apprehended, and she had to go
to the police station and give her evidence. The next
day she had to attend at the Guildhall, which was
ten miles distant from her home, and, as a matter
of course in a law court, to wait some
hours. She gave her evidence the second time,
but the prisoners were remanded, and she was
compelled to come back again to sign her depositions
and be bound over to prosecute. She was then
served with a summons to attend at the Old Bailey,
and prosecute, which she did, spending two
agreeable days, from ten to four, among
the select company assembled there. The
thief was convicted, and received a heavy sen-
tence, but the prosecutrix did not go unpunished.
She has to complain of five days wasted, and 100
miles travelled at great inconvenience and expense,
only one-fifth of the expenses being reimbursed,
and that only on condition of another day's
loss of time. Tha writer has very little
doubt that should his wife lose her purse again she
will take to flight at the risk of being mistaken forthe thief; while the reader will agree with him in
thinking that if the public knew what a prosecution
entailed, the proportion of cases discharged for want
of a prosecutor would be very much larger than it is.

THE BASUTOS AS BRITISH SUBJECTS.

Further correspondence between the Foreign
Office and the Cape has been published among the
parliamentary papers. The subject in dispute on
the completion of the Basuto Convention was its
effect upon the French Protestant Missionary
society, four of whose stations were situated in the
territory ceded to the Orange Free State. The
Boers and Basutos, like many other near neighbours
have been engaged in perpetual bickering, and the
feelings which the Boers entertaintowards the Basutos
they extend to the French Missionaries. The friends
of the mission are consequently apprehensive that the
inissionaries.will be ejected on the transfer of the
territory. The Paris Evangelical Missionary Society
and the Aborigines Protection Society have
accordingly been in motive correspondence
with the Colonial office, hoping to induce
Lord Granville to withhold his sanction from
the convention. Our courteous and amiable Colonial
Secretary has proved, however, in this case as in
other colonial correspondence, that his velvet glove
guides an iron pen, and he distinctly informs them
that after receiving explanations, he has forwarded
her Majesty's sanction to the colony.
London, England, 1870-05-09

DUBLIN AND NORWICH.

It is believed, on what are thought substantial
grounds, that the semi-disfranchisement of the
Dublin electors will soon cease. The metro
politan city of Ireland; which returns two members,
and which ought in the opinion of its inhabitants
to return three, has had but one representative since
Sir Arthur Guinness was unseated many months
ago. It is now. expected that the writ for the
vacant seat will be issued in a few days, and that the
election will take place about a fort-
night hence. A contest is confidently looked
for, and it is said that the Conservative
candidate will hoist Repeal colours—a move which
may be met by a similar procedure on the part of the
Liberal. Norwich, too, is hoping for better days. It
is believed that a writ for the seat left vacant by the
expulsion of Sir H. Stracey, will be issued imme-
diately on the passing of the Norwich Voters'
Disfranchisement Bill. Mr, J. 11. Tillett will
offer himself for the vacancy as an ad-
vanced Liberal. It will be remembered that Mr.
Tillett was an unsuccessful candidate in November
1808,' and that his opponent, Sir H. Stracey, was
afterwards unseated on petition.

THE TAX ON RAILWAYS.
Referring to its statement last week that there
was every probability of the Chancellor of the
Exchequer withdrawing hip proposals for dealing
with the tax on railways, the Railway News says
it now understands that that course has finally been
decided upon. The representatives of the North ern and
Southern lines, it learns, have not been able to agree
upon any plan among themselves which Mr. Lowe
will accept, and it has, therefore, been intimated that
nothing will be done in the matter in the present
session. This decision, adds the same journal, is one
upon which railway proprietors may be congratu-
lated, inasmuch as it leaves the whole question free
to be dealt with next year, when it hopes to see a
total repeal of the tax.

THE GREEK MASSACRE.

The Daily News refers to Mr. Erskine's dispatches, and
says that the one consolation that remains to us in these
distressing circumstances is the noble bearing of our
countrymen in the endurance of bitter trials and the too
certain prospect of death. The letters of Mr. Herbert
and Mr. Vyner, and the diary of Mr. Lloyd, contain the
materials of a story of more than Roman magnanimity.
How touching is the last entry in Mr. Lloyd's
note-book, writen within two or three hours of his
tragical death. " Troops " he notes, " are in
force ; danger impending ; love to J. and Erskine
in worst case ; " and then the self-possession and
endurance of his high spirit appears in- one more
line, " Fine view of mountains in Eubcea." Had the
captives fallen into the hands of men, and not into tie
paws of tigers, their noble characters would have saved
them. Henceforth the false glow which romance has
sought to throw around brigand life must disappear. The
fugitive chiefs had nothing to gain by murdering our
countrymen—nothing to lose by releasing them in their
flight : in killing•thein they indulged the lust of revenge
born of disappointed guilty fears, and perhaps also obeyed
the professional instinct which teaches that their occupa-
tion would be gone if it were once found that captives
taken by brigands could be delivered by force. If the
Greek Government permits, or is permitted to allow, the
existence of brigandage after this signal
.disaster, every
memory
rwho holds
of mr.
a
.Herbert and his
s companions
will ransom w t feel
the
ofthe fate
will plead most powerfully for the concession of his
extremest demands. But brigandage must not be tole-
rated for another year, for another month. Before the
system numbers one more victim it must be rooted out ;
and the Government which is not equal to this task con-
fesses itself thereby utterly unworthy of the name.

LIGHTING PUBLIC BUILDINGS.

Curiously apropos to the discussion in the House of
Commons on Friday night, as to opening the British
Museum and the National. Gallery in the
evening, an interesting report was issued on Saturday
morning. It is the report of the commission on the
heating, lighting, and ventilation of the Kensington
Museum, and from it we learn that in 1859 several
distinguished men of science, arilong them
Professors Faraday, Hoffmann, and Tyndal,
reported that there is nothing innate in
coal gas which renders its application to the
illumination of picture wineries objectionable, but
that its light is quite as harmless as that of the
sun. The heat may be rendered inocuous by
placing distance between the jets and the
pictures. These opinions, so interesting at
this- moment, when the danger of injury from
gas is urged as one of the main reasons against open-
our great National Galleries at an hour when the
working people can visit them, is further con-
firmed by letters from the professors named
above, and other high scientific authorities. The
commission who signed the report j uSt issued see no
reason to differ from the above conclusions, and are
of opinion that pictures cannot suffer any appre-
ciable injury from the effects of lighting by gas.

➢IR. BRUCE INTERVIEWED BY LADIES.

Mr. Bruce has received a very numerous deputation
of ladies from associations formed to agitate for
the repeal of the Contagious` Diseases Acts.
The deputation was introduced by Mr. Jacob Bright,
and various other members of Parliament were pre-
sent. The only lady speaker was Mrs. Butler,
who informed Mr. Bruce that she had visited
the garrison towns of Kent, and could assert
that the grossest outrages were practised on W7OlllOll
under the operation of these new laws. The men of
Kent, she said, felt the insults, and had sent a mes-
sage to the Home. Secretary that they bad not.
forgotten Wat Tyler. Mr. Bruce pointed out that
there were two sides to the question, adding that
the legislation objected to had originated in the

recommendation of a meeting of a great medical
society, and all knew that the medical profession was
especially humane, enlightened, and liberal minded.
He admitted that doubt existed as to the satisfactory
working of the Acts, and said he thought there ought
to be full inquiry by competent persons into not
only , the medical, but the moral bearings
of the question. He promised to do all he could to
obtain a complete, an immediate, and a thorough
investigation.

SERVICE NEWS.

The United Service Gazette is not surprised to
learn that the attaching of regimental depots of
corps abroad to the head-quarters of different regi-
ments at home is working but very indifferently.—
The appearance of the men of the Plymouth and.
Portsmouth divisions, when inspected by the Com-
mander-in-Chief, has called forth expressions of
satisfaction from the Lords of the Admiralty.—The
Army and Navy Gazette understands that Captain
Luard, C. 8., who, since the 20th of January,
1869, has held the appointment of senior
officer in the Steam Reserve at Ply-
mouth, will, on the 25th inst., supersede Rear-
Admiral the Hon. A. A. Cochrane, C. 8., as superin-
tendent of Sheerness Dockyard.—The same paper
says it is believed that on the occasion of the anni-
versary of the birthday of her Majesty the Queen,
several civilians who have lately retired from the
Admiralty will receive the honorary distinction whioh
public rumour has already bestowed upon them.—
The Broad Arrow hears that eight gentlemen in the
Commander-in-Chief's Office, five in the Adjutant-
General's Department, two in the Military Secretary's
Department, and one in the Quartermaster-General's
Department, have agreed to accept retirements
under the terms offered by the Government to effect
a reduction.
London, England, 1870-05-09

THE RED RIVER DIFFICULTY,

The Standard remarks that the Liberal journals have
been eagerly congratulating each other, the Ministry, and
the country, on the happy termination of the Red River
difficulty. If we may believe Lord Granville himself,
Mr. Monsell, and all their friends, there never was such
a feat of diplomacy so fortunately accomplished. The
skill of each of the parties to the triangular arrangement
has been only equalled by its zeal for the cause of peace
and Imperial integrity. If we hesitate to join in the
chorus of congratulations which Lord Granville's diplo-
mrcy has evoked it is because we utterly fail to discover
either the quarter whence the praises are due, or the
matter on account of which we are to be grateful.
What is the nature of the achievement for which Lord
Granville seeks credit, and which Mr. Monsell calls upon
us loudly to admire ? We are told that a " pacific "
solution of the Red River difficulty has been arrived at
—that an arrangement has been made between the
Canadian Government and the " Red River delegates,"
by which the territory is to be admitted into the Dominion
on the same terms as all the other provinces—and that
the expedition which is to be sent to Fort Garry is to be
one of peace. For how much of this result are we to
congratulate Lord Granville ? What is there, in fact, in
the situation, to congratulate anyone about, unless it
be Louis Riel, the filibuster chief of Fort Garry ?
The latest telegrams from Canada prove to us the folly of
reckoning upon a peaceful settlement of the Red River
difficulty so long as Louis Riel is, at large and in au-
thority. The Provisional Government at Fort Garry, we
are told, " are busy swearing in officials and drawing up
the Constitution, without any apparent reference to the
negociations at Ottawa." In the absence of any informa-
tion as to how it is proposed to abate this Louis Riel,
whether he is to be recognised as the first Governor of
Manetoda, or whether he is to be hanged as we should
hang any other ruffian who takes the life of a loyal British
subject, it is well that we should at least postpone our
congratulations to Lord Granville upon his spirited and
dexterous management of the Red River difficulty.

NONCONFORMISTS AND EDUCATION.

- -
As many as 7,500 forms of petition and protest on
the subject of the Education Bill have been sent out
for signature by the Nonconformist Committee. The
petitions are to be presented to the House of Com-
mons, and the protests to Mr. Gladstone. Already
ministers of various denominations who have signed
the forms amount to—Congregationalists, 1,200;
Wesleyan Methodists, 950 ; Baptists, 900 ; Unita-
rians, 250; Primitive Methodists, 350 ; and othe.
aenominations, 460. The number of refusals to sign
is only 38, most of these coming from Wesleyan
ministers, who decline to take action until the report
of the Conference Committee is issued.

FRAUDS ON THE GOVERNMENT.
A. parliamentary return issued gives the details Of
AOliie frauds which were committed on the Paymaster-
General, amounting in all to £1,071. The
explanation of those frauds chews that two
sums of money were claimed on behalf of
two gentlemen to whom the money was really due,
but who thought they had received proper payment.
The receipts were forged, and the person who com-
mitted the crime is now undergoing penal servitude.
ne had been dismissed from the Paymaster-General's
department, and had obtained possession of official
forms, and having an intimate knowledge of the
various official processes, his scheme was successful.
The third claim which was paid was for the largest
portion of the total of which the Government was
thus defrauded, and was altogether fictitious. The
officers who were imposed upon by the forgeries have
been altogether acquitted
..of blame by the Lords of
the Treasury.

THE GRAND CIRCLE will have an exclusive entrance
from Leicester Place, and will accommodate 200 persons
in the balcony, 27 private boxes luxuriously furnished,
and two royal boxes, having each a boudoir in the rear.
The buildings will be of fireproof construction through-
out, and special arrangements for warming and ventilating.

will be in•that portion of the building overlooking Leices-
ter-square.
THE RESOURCES OF THIS ESTABLISHMENT being so
manifold, its undeniable position, and a FREEHOLD in
the centre of Lon 'on, the directors confidently anticipate
paying the shareholders a very large dividend; a neigh-
bouring establishment, without the many advantages pos-
sessed by this company, is yielding its shareholders 25 per
cent., and has averaged a dividend of 20 per cent. for the
last fiva years.
A contract has been entered into with Mr. JOHN KIRK,
of Woolwich, for the erection and completion of the
whole of the buildings.
Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be
obtained at the offices of the company, or the bankers and

would be taken at such a reasonable hour as to admit of a

Captain C. F. Hall is here, as enthusiastic as ever
about the North Pole. No ice appears to chill that
explorer, who seems to think that the only use of
money is to discover upon what sort of axis the
world revolves. Ile wants a small screw vessel of
150 tons, and a topsail schooner even smaller ; but
failing them, he wants a Government vessel to
carry him to Hartstene Bay, lat. 78 deg., 17 sec..
N., whence he hopes to-accomplish his aspiration
to stand on the northern extremity of the axis of
the earth. He is to d diver a lecture on his Arc is
travels at the request of th 3 President and all
leading residents of Washington, who, in makieg
it, pa d him a high and well-des ,rued compliment.
The publica,sion of the Public Debt Statement has
caused surprise, it being confidently anticipated
there would be no diminuti ,n, but rather an in-
crease, as large paymen:s had to be made ewly in
the month. The public were satisfiA a 3 well as
as ()Dished at the r,sult, and it all tends with the
more favourable export returns, with the diminished
shipment of specie, with the accumulation of gold,
and the disposition in many places evinced of re-
suming coin payment, to bring us back to a specie
basis, and the index of this is the steady and con
tinuous fall in gold. Secretary Boutwell holds
purchased bonds to the amount of 100,000,000.
We had a gay time last Saturday with Mrs.Belknap's
closing reception and Mrs. Bryan's soirée dansaWe,
at Highland Place, the President and Miss Nellie
Grant being among the guests. This party was as
remarkable for its innovations on established
customs as for the brilliancy of the entertainment,
the louse containing a suite of rooms, giving ample
space for dancing ; but Mrs. Bryan named the hours
from six to ten o'clock, and gave no wines nor
anything exhilarating in the shape of drinks. That
night, too, General Butler was serenaded by his
friends. Most of them were darkies, and perhaps
as the shades of night had fallen Butler could not
see them, for, after Peering to spy out the crowd,
he b ought his speech to an abrupt end, and retired
with the guffaw of the reporters in his ear. Since
his furious assault on " newspaper men" in the
House, the correspondents are handling him with-
out gloves. In his speech he thanked Go I that he
was superior to the newspapers, but in the Globe
he has turned what he did say, into " he was
superior to the slanders of the newspapers."

THE 51ST REGIMENT.

Colonel STUART Ksox asked the Secretary of State for
War whether his attention had been called to a letter in
the Times of the 21st instant, headed " Military Mis-
management," in which it was stated that " the 51st
Regiment embarked on the 2d instant at Portland for
Cork in her Majesty's ship Orontes. That although they
were entitled by the regulations to convey baggage
to the measurement of some 4,000 cubic
feet, the captain of the Orontes, after some
2,076 cubic feet of said baggage was put on board, refused
to take more, alleging that his baggage room was full.
That the baggage thus left behind belonged principally to
the married men, and that uo less than forty unfortunate
women, and sixty-five children have been existing for a
fortnight or more with only the clothes they had on when
they came on board, and also whether he considered the
conduct of the naval authority could be justified.
Mr. CARDWELL said he had made inquiry at the
Quartermaster-General's office and the Admiralty, with
respect to this motion, and although there was some
difference in the different reports, both admit
that a larger amount of luggage was sent
than was allowed by the regulations, and it was also sent
without notice. That circumstance would partly account
for the length of time in its transmission, and then the
correspondence as to who was to pay the carriage of the
excess of luggage would account for the rest. An inquiry
was being made, and, pending that, he did not think it
would be right to impute blame to the officers of the
Orontes.
Colonel KNOX asked whether, in fairness to the regi-
ment, an inquiry would be made at Waterford?
Mr. CARDWELL said he had already stated that a full
inquiry was being made.
