THE DUBLIN FREEMEN.

The commissioners appointed to inquire into the
charges of bribery and corruption at the last election
in Dublin, express their belief that the corruption
of freemen was solely practised in the Con-
servative interest. They are satisfied, however,
that neither Sir Arthur Guinness nor
Mr. Plunliet authorised, or was cognizant of the
bribery that was attempted. The report of the Com-
missioners which has been published, makes no
recommendations as to the future of the constituency.
We understand that Mr. Edward Cecil Guinness,
younger brother of Sir Arthur, will be the Conser-
vative candidate for the vacant seat.

NEWSPAPER POSTAGE.

Mr. CRAUFURD asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
what was to be the definition of a " bona fide newspaper"
entitled to the postal privilege of six ounces for a half
penny, and whether It is intended to embody such defini-
tion in an Act of Parliament.

Mr. STANSFELD, in the absence of the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, said -it was not very easy to answer such a
question. He was not sure that the best definition was
not to be found in the words themselves. At present,
however, the subject was under consideration by the Go-
vernment.

WHAT THE RITUALISTS ARE COMING TO.

A correspondent in the Church .Review endeavours
to betoken what the Ritualists are coming to. The
writer says that at the majority of London churches,
where confession is preached, thepenitents have to go
either to the priests' ptivate house or to the
vestry. He considers it time that this great oppor-
tunity for scandal should be removed. Such pro-
ceedings he says may have been expedient when the
practice was more uncommon, but now as thousands
habitually make their confessions and the clergy
are engaged whole days and nights hearing them,
surely some better system might be adopted. At
St. Albans, Holborn, he adds the boxes which have
beenin use for some months appear to give satisfaction.
Why then, he asks, should not this example be fol-
lowed, so that the Sacrament of Penance may be ad-
ministered in the only place consecrated for such
purpose.

PAPER WARS.

A little question of social manners which is likely
to lead to very disagreeable circumstances has
been brought under notice. It seems that
an awkward custom is in vogue of sending
letters with impertinent or annoying inscriptions
through the Post-office. Some months since a
gentleman had to pay heavy damages for sending a
letter to his solicitor, bearing an inscription which
amounted to a libel; but there may be a great
deal of annoyance without any legal remedy.
For instance, a letter bearing the words
'• Application for Debt" printed in conspicuous letters
on the outside, is not an agreeable epistle to receive
and there are numberless expedients of a similar
character open to petty malice. A con-
temporary suggests that if we all adopted
this plan, and stated our grievances on
the outside as well as the inside of our letters, our
letter-boxes would be almost as explosive as bomb-
shells. The simplest remedy would be found in the
Post-office imposing an extra charge of a penny—as
it has good right to do—on all words outside a letter
beyond the name and address.

WHITWORTH GUNS.

Mr. HANBURY-TRACY asked the Secretary of State for
War, if the Ordnance Council had yet comb to any deter-
mination in reference to the proposal to construct a 35-ton
gun out of Sir Joseph Whitworth's new metal; and if so,
whether it was still his intention to propose a vote in
Committee of Supply to carry out this object.

Captain VIVIAN said the subject had been reported
upon; but the report had only recently reached the Secre-
tary of State for War, and he had not yet had an oppor-
tunity of consulting the First Lord of the Admiralty.

THE GREEK MASSACRE.

Mr. Drummond explains some of the circumstances
attendant upon the capture of the tnglislinten in
Greece. It has been said that lots were drawn to
decide who should go to Athens to obtain the money
necessary for the ransom. Nothing of the kind
occurred. " The conversation of the captives on
this subject related solely as to the means at
the disposal of each for paying or raising so
large .a sum as £25,000. Lord Muncaster said he
would guarantee half the entire sum, and Mr. \Tyner
said he would guarantee the remaining half, and that
the details should be settled when all were at liberty.
It thus resolved itself into a question between Lord
Muncaster and Mr. \Tyner, who should go into
Athens, and ➢lr. Vyner at once requested Lord
Muncaster to go. It may be remembered also that
at that time, there was little or no apprehension for
their safety, it being considered as merely a money
question."

MR. HEADLAM AND THE LAND BILL.

A. letter from Mr. Headlam justifying his amend-
ment to the Irish Land Bill appears in the Daily
News. He expresses himself of opinion that the con-
cessions already made in favour of the principles
which he sought to introduce have completely
vindicated the propriety of hiS motion. Mr.
Headlam cannot comprehend Mr. Gladstone's state-
ment that the suggestion of such an amendment as
his might produce " incalculable mischief," and he
considers that the only mode in which incalculable
mischief could arise would be if what has taken place
should diminish the importance of Parliamentary
debates, or tend to reduce membars to the position of
tongue-tied delegates.

THE SUEZ CANAL.

The advantages of the Suez Canal have already
shewn themselves in the East India trade. The
Times of India of April 16th chronicles the arrival
and departure of several merchant vessels by the new
route. The Alnwick Castle, one of these, arrived in
Bombay harbour on the evening of April 11, from
Cardiff, which she left on February 26. Her cargo
consisted of 1,200 tons of coal, which she dis-
charged at Aden, where she arrived on the
27th of March. Soon after her arrival at Bombay
she began to load with cotton, and will probably be
carrying cotton to England at a time when by the old
route she would have been still steaming towards
Aden with her coal.

WORKMEN DEBTORS IN SCOTLAND.

The bill to limit the conditions under which ar-
restments of workmen's wages for debt can be made
in Scotland has been printed. It provides that after
the first of January next year the wages of all labourers
and artificers shall cease to be liable to seizure for
debt, unless the amount of wage exceeds 20s. per
week, in which case the surplus above that sum will
still be liable to arrestment. The expenses of making
such arrestment must, however, under ordinary cir-
cumstances be borne by the creditor. The act will
of course not affect payments for rates or taxes, or
assessments in virtue of decrees for alimentary
allowances imposed by law.
London, England, 1870-05-10

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS

The Standard says that France has answered the ques-
tion put to her in the affirmative, but it does not see that
the position of the Emperor is strengthened by the
Plebiscite. One thing is•clear, that in the capital,. and all
the large French cities, the Emperor is getting more and
more into disfavour. It is to be hoped that the experiment
has been tried for the last time, for France cannot flourish
while it is perpetually asked to vote whenever a step is
taken in the direction of order.
The Telegraph remarks that the Lord Chancellor's bill
makes our niany courts of law and equity into one great
judicial council. It is a matter of surprise that so vast a
reform should have met with subsequent approbation in
legal circles, but the measure has just been sharply criti-
cised by Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, the greatest judg,e
of our courts of common law. Nevertheless, Sir A. Cock-
burn must not be classed as an enemy of the bill, as he is
entirely in favour of abolishing the severance between law
and equity. It will be necessary. in carrying out the
reform to take care lest we swamp, in the more technical
and abstract system of equity, the priceless principles of
our Common Law.

The Times observes that the Emperor's Government
came off better at the the Plebiscite than at the last Par-
liamentary elections ; but there is a serious falling off
from the votes he received at the formes Plebiscites. Ano-
ther significant fact is the voting at one of the Paris
barracks, where the noes were 700 against 1,000 ayes,
which is the first symptom of disaffection in the array.
The Plebiscite was a blunder from first to last, and it will
be well if the Emperor will strive to repair his mistake.
We cannot help having misgivings as to the breach
between classes in France, and between town and country.
Must soldiers on the boulevards, and peasants at the pol-
ling booths be the Emperor's support? A return to the
provinces of January is yet possible, and it is for the in-
terest of all alike that this unlucky plebiscite should be
forgotten and forgiven.
The Daily News thinks that the bill introduced by the
Marquis of Hartington to the House last night is calcu-
lated to give general satisfaction to Liberals. The ballot
is a great Liberal triumph, and its success is due to the
efforts of the Liberals. It is not one of those questions
which prosper through agitation, and it was only to be
won through dint of perseverance. England may •now
look forward to peaceful elections, and the constituencies
will be enabled to do their duty with no fear of undue
influence being exerted.
The Post says that the Irish Land Bill has begun
to move, and the crisis was over when it reached the fifth
clause. It is desirable to avoid placing too much power in
the hands of landlord or tenant, and the bill should not
render tenants too independent oflandlords who are willing
to be just.

LORD DERBY.

It is announced that Lord-Derby will shortly be
married to the Dowager Marchioness of Salisbury.
This lady was the second wife of her late husband,
and was more than thirty years younger than he.
The late Marquis of Salisbury was born in
1791 ; his surviving wife was born in 1824.
Her maiden name was Mary Catherine Sack-
ville West, and she is the second daughter of the
4th Earl Delawarr. She was married in 1847, and
has five children. The Earl of Derby was born
in 1826, so that he and his future wife are nearly
of the same age.

CARDINAL CULLEN.

The Irish National press have not allowed Cardinal
Cullen's last invective against secret societies and
Fenian newspapers, to pass unnoticed. One
journal, alluding to the " very long, and
very lugubrious pastoral" of his Eminence,
says he has followed the example of the " Blood-
hounds of the London Press " in charging the
national prints with the murders and outrages which
have of late occurred in the sister island. The
same paper defies the Cardinal to substantiate
his assertions by pointing out any article which
according to his opinion, "was filled with the worst
species of infidelity." Mr. Disraeli's novel is men-
tioned to prove that there is an understanding
between the English Government and the Papacy
for mutual support, and the Cardinal is represented
as imploring his flock not to embarrass the " divine
William " by exhibiting any unpleasant discontent,
and urging them to pray. that the " Heaven-sent
minister may he retained
in office." The Irishman
mentions a series of historical incidents to shew that
patriotic Irishmen have been silenced and snubbed
by the Pope and his ambassadors on occasions when
they ventured to agitate for reforms in the condition
of the peasantry, or for the promulgation of mea-
sures of the deepest interest to their countrymen.

WHAT THE. RITUALISTS ARE COMING TO.

A correspondent in the Church Review endeavours
to betoken what the Ritualists are coming to. The
writer says that at the majority of London churches,
where confession is preached, the penitents have to go

ceedings he says may have been expedient when the

habitually make their confessions and the clergy
are engaged whole days and nights hearing them,
surely some better system might be adopted. At

beenin use for some months appear to give satisfaction.
Why then, he asks, should not this example be fol-

ministered in the only place consecrated for such
purpose.

THE INDIAN BUDGET.

While Mr. Lowe has been lucky enough to give
some satisfaction to the English taxpayers, his
Anglo-Indian contemporary •has been singu-
larly unfortunate. The Anglo-Indian press is
uncompromising in its opposition, and nob only
condemns the Budget in toto, but very plainly
demands the financier's removal to another post.
The Englislanzan, the Times of India, the Indian Daily
News, the Calcutta Examiner, the Mofussilite,
all unite in vehement and sustained protests.
Tho Englishman calls for an indignation meeting to
let her Majesty's Ministers at home learn that they
"will not have this man to meddle with the
Exchequer and ruin the empire by his vanity and
incompetence." The Indian Daily News com-
plains that the finances of a great coun-
try are placed under " the mismanagement of
an inexperienced amateur." The Mofussilite, while
equally severe on the Budget, partly exonerates the
Finance Minister, at the expense of the Government
of India. The Times of India says that the only
difference produced by a fuller knowledge of the Budget
is that disappointment has developed into irritation,
and apprehension has deepened into something like
dismay. The Pioneer is disappointed that Lord
Mayo has not openly declared against the Budget,
and maintains that " he must either repudiate and
dismiss -his incompetent councillor, or be con-
tent to share the latter's disastrous reputation,
and disappear for ever from the front ranks
of public life." The Englishman, though so severe on
the Budget, thinks it should be remembered that
Sir R. Temple proved a most capable administrator
in the Central Provinces, and that few men succeed
as financiers. if removed from a post for which he
is incompetent, he may yet do the State good ser-
vice.

Armin-Tra-ITA -arizr.Ausuiva. WTIVIISI.
The controversy which has been so furiously raging
among the architects as to the right to retain their
own drawings seems unlikely to be settled just
yet. The whole affair, however, savours very
much of a storm in a tea cup, as far at least as the
public are concerned. The simple question at issue
is whether, considering the enormous sum we have
paid for the palace of Westminster, its plans should
not be in our possession. On the other hand the
architects characterise the demand of Mr.
Ayrton for the original drawingsets tyrannical and
without precedent. However long the controversy
with regard to this particular building may continue,
we presume there will be no great difficulty in settling
the matter by special contract in future cases.

CUBA.

Mr. GILPIN asked the Under Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs if the attention of Her Majesty's Govern-
ment had been called to the sacrifice of life in Cuba,
where, while two large armies were contending together
and desolating the country, it is stated that no prisoners
are taken and no quarter given. And, whether it would
not be practicable, in the opinion of Her Majesty's
Government in the interests of humanity, by friendly
communications in concurrence with other powers,
especially with the Government of the United States,
to stop the sacrifice of life, or at least to mitigate the
horrors of civil war.

Mr. OTWAY, in reply, said the intention of Goverment
had been for some time directed to the state of affairs in
Cuba, and the fierceness with which the contest had been
carried on. The Spanish Government had expressed
its confidence in its own power to put down
the insurrection, and certainly the insurgents had not
ny place of importance. It woulci, under flh^
circumstances, be inopportune to interfere. His hon.
friend might rest assured that the Government would
gladly aNail themselves of any opportunity of rendering
such services to huffianity as he suggested.

PROTESTANTISM IN SPAIN.

Count Bernstorff, son of the Prussian ambassador in
London, and President of the Berlin Committee for the
Propagation of Protestantism in Spain, has delivered a
discourse on the religious condition of that country.
The lecturer has just returned from a three months'
tour in the Iberian peninsula, the immediate object
of which was to examine whether the attempts that
have been made to introduce Protestantism into a country
not long ago regarded as the bulwark of Catholicism, were
such as to merit the symyathy and support of Protestants.
He said the Spanish Protestants reckon on large accessions
to their Church, and the expectation seems justified by
the crowds which throng to witness a Protestant service,
and by the anxiety they shem, to procure copies of the
Bible. The great difficulty is to obtain a supply of
educated Protestant clergymen. In Madrid, how-
ever, where the traveller found a congregation
of 2,000 souls, Pastor Tarrasco is aided by a
very eloquent preacher. The Church of Seville,
which is next in importance, was founded by Scotch
missionaries, and has elders, a synod, and a confession of
faith, much as we find them in the Church of Scotland.
The agent of the Scottish mission had purchased an old
Catholic church without informing the sellers of its
future destination, and here divine service is performed
by a former Catholic priest called Cabrera. After
mentioning the Protestant congregations in Malaga and
Cartagena, the speaker dwelt on the necessity of building
a suitable Protestant church in Madrid to replace the
present chapel, and returned to the subject of the educa-
tion of Spanish preachers. The object of the committee
was less to make proselytes than to gain for Protes-
tantism the Spaniards who had alreaey fallen off from
the Catholic Church. Under the guidance of Tarrasco,
the Protestant preacher in Madrid, who is also an able
theologian, young men in Spain might be educated for the
Protestant ministry.

THE MAHARAJAH OF KUPPOORTHULLA. The
Bombay papers are full of regrets for the Maharajah of
Kuppoorthulla, who died en route for England.
The Maharajah, who distinguished himself greatly
by his loyal services during the mutiny, was
the first independent native prince who ever
set out for this country, breaking through the prejudices
of caste and the terrors of tradition by crossing
the "black water." His visit excited the greatest
interest among his compatriots, many of whom
were preparing to follow him ; and his death
while yet at sea was therefore particularly unfortunate.
It is true that the Maharajah succumbed to a disease of
long standing which had nothing to do with his
voyage, but it is to be feared the natives
will find it difficult to realise this. He started
from Bombay at the end of March, and three weeks later
the P. and O. steamer brought the news of his death at
Aden,o His remains have been taken back to India for
cremlition at the Hindoo shrine of Nassick. It is to be
hope-J. the young Rajah of Kolapoor, who has made up his
mind to visit England next year, will be more fortunate.

UTILISING DOG POWER.

The Daily Nezvs takes the approaching " dog days"
as an opportunity of saying a few words in behalf
of man's faithful canine companion. An engine
has been invented, says the writer, by which our
pets can be taught to work as easily as their pro-
genitors of old. These engines can be applied
to the turning of spits, drawing of water, or
plying of sewing machines, so that a dog may do
something to gain a livelihood. When a stray dog
is now found in the streets, he is taken to the home
for dogs and killed, unless he is of a rare
breed. It may be doubted, says the Daily News,
if town dogs will ever be of much use beyond that
of companionship ; but any one who rises early.
enough just now may see what a dog can do in
Jermyn-street. A lad, who is charged with delivering
newspapers, rings the bell and rushes on
to the next door, leaving the dog to deliver the
paper. By the time he has rung the bell there the
animal has come up with him, and is ready to deliver
the next batch of papers. It is doubtful, however,
adds our contemporary, whether dogs would be
equally proud and happy if shut up in a wheel which
they have to work without the approving glances of
their masters.

ITA LI.

FLORENCE, May 9, Evening.

In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies
Signor Lanza gave explanations respecting the
events in Catanzaro. On Saturday morning an
insurrectionary band made 1 s appearance at Maida,
and the necessary measures were Immediately
adopted by the authorities. More than 300 eitisess,
including Menotti Garibaldi, went armed to the
residence of the Prefect, offering to assist in
attacking the band. Signer Lanza warmly eulo-
gized the spirit displayed by the eitieens, and
his remarks were received with loud cheering
by the Chamber. He proceeded to state that
the insurgents, who numbered from 200 to
300 men, were attacked yesterday by the troops,
and, after a short combat, were routed, leaving
behind several dead and wounded. Two soldiers
were &so 'minded. The band was dispersed, the
fugitlves -flying towards Reggio, SA d a despatch
from that place announces that the tnhabitints are
firmly determined to pursue them. The names of
the chiefs of the movement are RA present un-
known, nor has any information been received as yet
respecting the composition of the band—namely,
whether it consi&ted of Italians or foreigners. In
the Senate Signor Lanza made the same statement as
in the Chamber of Deputies respecting the affair
In Catanzaro.l Ile nutter announced that a band of
15 persons had appeared in the province of Aquila,
but he expresse.t himself confident that this in-
surrectionary attempt would find no echo in
other provinces. The Official Gazette of this evening
contains the following:—" The insurgents were
yesterday attacked by the troops at Filadelphia, and
took to flight, leaving several killed and wounded
on the field. The troops had only one man
wounded. About 40 young men who intended to
join the movement, and had set out for Filadelphia,
turned back last night and returned home. The
remnants of the band are being vigorously pursued
by the troops. The people of Calabria are very well
disposed towards the Government, and numerous
offers of assistance continue to be sent in to the
authorities.

NEW PEERS AND THEIR LATE CONSTITUENTS.

Attention has been drawn by a correspondent to
the fact that a member of the House
of Commons who is about to succeed
to a peerage, has it in his power to con-
siderably delay the issue of a writ for the con-
stituency he has been representing by failing to at
once prove his right to sit in the Upper
House. Mother serious question connected with the
removal of members of the House of Commons
to the House of Lords, namely, whether a \member,
having a frigid facie right to a peerage, but not
having proved such right, may or may not sit
and vote in the Lower House, also remains
unsettled. In these days, when votes are
so valuable and so anxiously sought for in Parlia-
mentary debates, it is surprising that theoretical
blemishes of this kind are allowed to exist so exten-
sively in the legislative system.

TRADES COMBINATIONS.

Sir C. DILKE asked the Secretary of State for the Home
Departmeut when be would introduce the bill for the
amendment of the laws relating to trades combinations, of
which mention was made in her Majesty's Speech.
Mr. BRUCE said he proposed to bring the bill for-
ward at the very first opportunity there was a
prospect of proceeding with the measure.
THE RITUAL REPORT.

Mr. BOWRING asked the First Lord of the Treasury
whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government
to take an early opportunity of introducing a bill for the
purpose of giving effect to the recommendations on the
subject of a new Lectionary contained in the third report
of the Ritual Commissioners.

Mr. GLADSTONE said the report referred to had been
most favourably received. It wns the intention of the
Government to introduce a bill forthwith which he
doubted not would remove the stagnation in the trades
employed in the production of prayer-books.
