The Turkish Customs' receipts during the past
year, says the Levant Times, show an increase of 33 per
cent. on those of the previous year. The amount during
the ten months of 1809, beginning March, the commence-
ment of the financial year, was 44,800,000 piastres, and it
is estimated that the total for the year ending the 28th
nst. will bo about 53,000,000, as against 4,0,800,000 during
the year 1868-69.

THE BALLOT.

A correspondent of the Daily News tells a story
of grievances arising out of the last contest in Dum-
frieshire. Every one will remember the gallant
fight made by Sir Sydney Waterlow in that county,••
The City knight won by 1,100 to 1,050, but was dis-
qualified. The result of the polling took everybody
by surprise. There had been no contest in Dumfries-
shire for the last hundred years, and- the influence of
the Buccleuch house seemed to forbid the hope of
competition. Sir Sydney Waterlow was received
with derision and contempt, but he won neverthe-
less. For this victory some of th© local Liberals have
paid dearly. From the village of Canonbie, every
acre of which belongs to the Duke of Buc-
cleuch, one gentlewan of position • has been
virtually expelled through voting for the Liberal.
Another gentleman, Dr. A.l'Aulav, who hollt his
appointment as colliery surgeon at the pleasure of the
Duke, has this week received intimation that Lis
services will not be required after the mouth of May.
He, too, has been obliged to leave the parish. The
correspondent of the Daily News says that these
" evictions " are owing solely to political causes.

SCIENCE AND ART.

Sir Stafford Nortlicote yesterday presided and
distributed prizes to the successful candidates
at the Bloomsbury School of Art, and in
the course of his address, he said that some
years ago just blame was attached to the
Government for the inadequate provision .made
by it for the maintenance of schools of art ;
but out of the mistakes made formerly on
both sides of the controversy was now
evolved a great improvement in teaching, of
which ho advised the scholars before him to take
advantage. It was in the power of scholars of art
to improve very much the manufactures of
this country ; and when. the great and im-
portant question of teduncal education came to
be practically carried out, he did not see why schools
of art and schools of technical education should not
work together in unison. But a better literary edu-
cation was required to attain excellence in
either school, as had been proved by ex-
perience in France. Sir Stafford Northcote
after advising the students to try to create, as well
as copy, works of art, concluded by regretting the
loss the country had sustained through the present
very general waste of the intelligence and power of
the female part of our population.

MU. MADDEN.

Mr. Madden having been removed from the Irish
magistracy for "using language of studied insult to
her Majesty's Government," is to be the subject of much
Parliamentary struggling in the coming session. The
Conservatives take very good care not to forget
him; he is a godsend to them ; without him they
would have very little private grievance left to pro-
test against. Two members have given notice
upon the subject : Sir Thomas Bateson, the
member for Devizes, comes first with a long
question ; Lord Claud John Hamilton, the
member for King's Lynn, follows with a shorter in-
quiry. The notice put upon the paper by Sir
Thomas Bateson is an argument ;, it occupies nearly a
page
.of foolscap. It asks whether the same Mr.
Madden did not attempt in October last to prevent
an illegal procession, which procession was, by com-
promise between its leaders and the Irish Chief Secre-
tary, allowed to take place. The notice goes on to inquire
whether Mr. Heron, a Queen's Counsel, had not re-
peatedly used seditious language,.yethe has been re-
tamed, not only as Q.C., but as justice of the peace;
the same also with regard to Mr. Butt; and query is
especially made concerning Lord Granard, who pre-
sided at a meeting where landlords were denounced
and Fenianism taught, and has notwithstanding been
retained as Lord-Lieutenant of the very county of
which Mr. Madden was a magistrate.

tNWOItKED COAL mnrEs IN SCOTLAND.

At a meeting of an Institute of Mining Engineers
at Dudley, a paper has heen read containing remarks
on what is said to be a vast and fertile coal-
field oxistiting on the coast of Fife, North
Britain, between the towns of Dysart and Leven.
The writer of the paper is Mr. Walter Ness, a mining
engineer of Scotland, who says that an intimate
knowledge of this coal-field is possessed by only a
very few. In the locality mentioned, he said
that there were twelve square miles of coal with
a thickness of a hundred feet, which would produce
total weight of 844,000,000 tons, a quantity equal
to about the aggregate amount taken from all the
collieries in Great Britain in the last ten years.
There was thus sufficient to last that part of the
kingdom for 5,000 years, and, calculating the profit
at one shilling a ton, the gain would be forty-two
millions of money. Further, there were other beds in
the neighbourhood which altogether would yield over
12,000,000,000 tons! In other parts of the country
there were collieries which, if utilised, would
assist in bringing in the enormous sum of nine hun-
dred and fifty millions. In short, the National Debt
was to be paid off, and a handsome surplus left.

THE IRISH POLICE.

A telegram has been received to-day from Colic,
which states that some of the police of the Moores-
fort Police-station had been dismissed owing to the
disappearance of a quantity of ammunition from the
powder store. A search had been made, and some
of the missing powder had been found, but the
other portion still remains to be d:scovered.

STEALING GOVERNMENT BOOTS.—Two men named
Quelch and Lee were charged with stealing a pair
of boots served out to some pensioner unknown at
Chelsea Hospital.
Mr. Isaac Dyas, a wardrobe dealer, said that
Quelch came in last night and offered a pair of boots
for sale. He refused to buy them, and sent for the
police, during which time one of the boots was
disposed off by Lee.
Colour-sergeant Seymour, R A, proved that the
boots belonged to the Commissioners, and were
issued last October. They would be in use till
October next, after which they would become the
property of the man to whom they were served out,
and ho could dispose of them.
Quelch said Lee gave them to him to sell, and
Lee said a pensioner had lent them to him, as he
had pawned his own.
Mr. Arnold remanded the prisoners till Tuesday,
directing inquiries to be made as to who the boots
belonged to. He let Quelch go on his own recog-
nisance.

It is stated that several attempts were made last
night to throw up barricades in the Faubourg du
Temple and at Belleville, but the work was pre-
vented either by the Sergents de Ville or by the
inhabitants themselves.

No conflict was reported up to 10 o'clock at night,
and tranquillity prevailed everywhere.
It is generally considered that the disturbances
will not be repeated.

CO-OPERATION ON THE CONTINENT.

A striking instance of the beneficial effect of a
reconciliation of labour and capital is shown by the
state of a co-operative company. at Berlin, formerly
the firm of Messrs. Borghert. In the beginning of
1808, when the establishment was valued at
300,000 thalers, it was divided into 6,000
shares of fifty thalers each, and every man
engaged in the business for more than a year had a
right to buy a share, paying six thalers the first
month and four thalers monthly during the rest of
of the year. There were no objections to a man buy-
ing several shares, and a committee of three members
was elected from the whole body of shareholders.
llerr Borghert remains director at a salary of
3,000 thalers. All expenses being deducted, what
remains is equally divided between the shareholders
and the enzployes. At the end of 1808 there were
thirty-two working-men shareholders who received.
5 per cent. upon their capital and 8 per cent. divi-
dend ; and a bonus of 10 per cent was divided among
sixty-three working men.

MR. RUSEIN ON THE FINE AHTS.

In his new office of Slade Professor of Fine Arts,
Mr. John Ruskin, M.A., has delivered his inaugural
lecture in the Sheldonian Theatre, at Oxford. Ho
said the course of lectures he was to give
would commence a new exa in University education:
the study of the fine arts was now to be
introduced at Oxford. He enlarged on
the beneficial effects of that study, the proper
direction of which was of much importance. In
England our artists did not excel in the sublime style
on account of the grossness of our nature, our
greatest men never having bad such an
abhorrence of what is foul, as Dante had.
We have too much care and anxiety to give our
minds up to highly-finished designs. At the same
time we shew great excellence in painting. With a
view to the development of this art, the lecturer
intended arranging a collection of paintings in
the Taylor Gallery. He hoped soon to make
some of the youth of England prefer looking at a
bird to shooting it. It was for England to educate
her sons in everything that will make them men,
and those sons should remember that England still
expects every man to do his duty.

THE TELEGRAPHIC STOPPAGE.

The strange interruption of telegraphic communi-
cation on Monday night has been overcome ; and we
have the satisfaction of knowing how the block on
the line was caused. It was not the atmosphere
nor any natural phenomenon that gave rise
to the difficulty, but simply the mistake of a
workman. Whilst making some alterations in a
local office, this artisan displaced a bundle of wires,
which unfortunately proved to be the channel of
communication with the North and West. The
error was not discovered for some time, and a
temporary suspension of communication was its
result.

THE IRISH CHURCH CONSTITUTION.

Some of the lay delegates are getting up opposi-
tion to the Irish Church draught constitution. They
argue that as the general convention is appointed to
meet within a week, there is not sullicient time for
the consideration of matters of euch high moment.
The draught, moreover, completely nullifies the con-
stitution agreed upon at the lay conference. There
has been a misuaderstand* about the voting, and
it is complained that the just influence of the laity
in the appointment bishops and the filling up of
parish vacancies has been almost ignored.

It was taken after a severe combat by the forces .under
General Puello. The Diario reports that a heavy engage-
ment took place on the Ist of January, resulting in a great
destruction of life. The insurgents surprised the Spanish
intrenchmcnts in the night, and the loss on both sidei
amounted to five hundred. Rebel correspondence has
been captured, which shows that General Jordan, who..
commanded the
_rebel forces, had superseded General
Quesada.

SIR GEORGE GREY ON EMIGRATION.

At a meeting at Derby on the subject of national
emigration, Sir George Grey said that it was
admitted on all hands that at present there was a
greater want of employment than had been known
for years. The consequent destitution, it was urged,
might be relieved by a judicious system of emi-
gration being organised, and a further system of
colonisation. A great amount of destitution could
thus be diminished ; the eruig-ramts would be
wealthier and happier, and matters would be better
for those left behind. The prevalent objection to
emigration was that in leaving England people leave
all that is valuable to them as Englishmen behind,
and go away to encounter all sorts of difficulties.
But they could go to countries where
they would speak the same language, and
enjoy the same favours as they do in England. Indeed
the aspect presented by any British territory would
be much the same as that of our own country. They
would only be deprived of destitution and poverty,
and they would look in vain for beggars. If there
was a want of employment now, the hon. gentleman
feared there would be a greater want of it yet.
Immediate relief was now offered in the shape of
emigration, which all thinking people would do well
to accept.

FARM HORSE DUTIES.

The Commissioners of Inland Revenue have given
an important decision touching the use of farm horses.
The manager of an estate in Lincolnshire had repre-
sented that the tenants were bound by contract to give
the landlord the use of a waggon and team
one day in the year, and the question was
whether the horses so engaged would be exempt from
duty, as the service given by the tenants was an
equivalent for rent, and therefore a purpose of hus-
bandry. In reply the Inland Revenue commissioners
say that " they will not insist upon payment of duty
for a horse kept solely for agricultural purposes,
which may occasionally only be employed in drawing
coals, bricks, &c., to its owner's house, or to the
house of the farmer's landlord, in conformity with
any provision in that behalf contained in the lease
under which the farm is held."

MONEY.

The new Russian loan has gone off' with éclat, the
five per cent. application deposits being so numerous
as to more than cover the additional fifteen per cent.
payable on allotment. Altogether, the applications
in this country have exceeded forty millions, whilst
the share of the loan to be distributed here is only
four millions. The allotments will thus average
ten per cent. As the loan is issued at
80, the four millions represent only R 3,200,000 in
cash, so that the money market is not in the least
affected. The drain in the present state of plethora/
is hardly felt, •

LATEST ELECTIONEERING NEWS.

At Tipperary the clerical party are working to
secure the return of Mr. Heron, Q.C. It is re-
ported that O'Donovan Rossa will again be nomi-
nated, and that if the sheriff should refuse the no-
mination, Mr. John Martin, or some other member
of the advanced National party, will be brought
forward. In Southwark both the Liberal can-
didates are holding meetings nightly in view of
the election which will take place in a few
days. At Nottingham several gentlemen are
named as candidates for the borough on Colonel
Wright's resignation. The most likely candidate
for the Liberals is Mr. T. W. Evans, of Derby.
Mr. Digby Seymour may again offer himself as
the independent candidate. At Londonderry the
re-election of Mr. Sergeant Dowse, who has just
been appointed Solicitor-General for Ireland,
will be opposed by Mr. Baxter, the senior part-
ner in the eminent legal firm of Baxter, Rose,
and Norton. He is energetically canvassing the
borough. At Waterford there were two Liberal
candidates, and a third of the Repeal type, but one
of the former has withdrawn, and it is stated that
Mr. James Esmonde, brother to the county mem-
ber, will be brought forward. Mr. Bernal Os-
borne is prosecuting his canvass with energy. A
meeting of the Waterford Conservatives is to be
held to-day, with a view to the selection of a can-
didate. Last night Sir John Ennis, who was for-.
m;•rly the Liberal member for Athlone, addressed
the electors of Waterford.

AUSTRIA AND THE WAR.

The Times publishes the following telegram from
its Berlin correspondent :
"M. Latour d'Auvergne, the French Foreign
Minister, late - Ambassador at Vienna, told the
Committee of the Legislative Body that if the
Due de Gramont had assured them a month
ago that 300,000 Austrians would cross the Prus-
sian frontier on the outbreak of war he had only
expressed his own sanguine expectations. Austria
was surprised by the war, and quite unprepared.
Prussia declined, nevertheless, to permit a military
member of the Austrian Embassy at Berlin to
accompany her army. On the 21st the French left
Civita Vecchia. The Papal troops are being kept in
readiness to quench any rebellion. It is said that the
Jesuits entreat ttio Pope to leave for Malta."
