AN ECCENTRIC IRISH LANDLORD.

Mr. H. M. D'Arcy Irvine, whose eccentricities
among his tenantry in consequence of the Irish
Land Bill have been the general subject of remark in
the papers, writes on the subject of "Irish Immigra-
tion." His object is to show that the large exodus
of emigrants from Ulster is owing to the fact that
as sons and daughters of tenants, there being no sub-
division of farms or new farms to be had, they had
no resource but to leave. There are, he says, two
extra motives for leaving—the proposed Irish Land
Act and the through railway to California. The
correspondence between the Irish in these places
and at home is, he adds, enormous. The effect of
this emigration is that labourers are not to be had in
Ireland at any money, and the only resource left to
landlords and farmers is to lay down a large'
portion of their land in grazing than usual.
lie says he formerly employed 200 labourers a day,
but has nosy only ten, and his own offices are closed.
How the process of eviction is to improve upon this defi-
ciency of labour the writer does not tell us He leaves
us equally in the dark as to the way iu which the
social improvement of the country is to be effected
by his serving a notice on the magistrates to quit
their court-house.

enable the Bank to increase its capital to 200 mil-
lions of lire.

DEATH OF MR. MACIASE, R.A.

Mr. Daniel Maclise, the Royal Academician, died
yesterday afternoon. He was born in Cork on the
25th of January, 1811. Maclise first exhibited
pictures at the British Institution in 1833. In 1835
the Royal Academy made him an associate, and in
the year 1841 Mr. Maclise was elected a Royal Aca-
demician, his age then being thirty. In 1855 he
travelled over Italy in search of fresco works ; and as
one of the Fine Art jurors of the Paris Exhibition he
r,presented *the artistic judgment of his nation.
When, in 1866, Sir Edwin Landseer refused the Pre-
si iency of the Royal Academy, it was offered to
Maclise, who declined it in turn. Though he may
be said to have enforced in his own person the respect
due to his are, he was one of the most unassuming
men who ever lived.

AFFAIRS OF NEW ZEALAND.

Further official particulars are at hand relative to
the affairs of New Zealand. Amongst the most
important is a despatch from the Earl of
Granville to Governor Sir G. F. Bowen in reference
to a reward by the latter of £l,OOO for the person of
the Maori chief Titokowaru, dead or alive, and £5 for
every Maori rebel brought in alive. His lordship says
the offering of a reward for the person of a hostile
leader, " whether dead or alive," is so much at vari-
ance with the usual course of civil or military proceed-
ings that, without pronouncing it to be wrong on
account of that variance, he considered it necessary
to demand an authentic account of the facts. Sir G.
G. Bowen replied that ho viewed Titokowaru merely
as a notorious, but untried and unconvicted
rebel and murderer. His lordship rejoined that
he was not aware of any colonial enactment
which would make it lawful for any chance person
to shoot him down. This letter is interesting, as
shewing the many-headed character of the authority
entrusted with the pacification of New Zealand.

WESTMINSTER.

Hugh Webster Tellson, who has frequently been
charged with assaulting his wife, Hannah Maria, was
charge on another warrant with a similar offence.
The prisoner, it appear:', formerly held a respectable
situation at Messrs. Shoolbred's, but directly after
his marriage wi,h the prosecutrix heleft his situation,
took to habits of indolence and intoxication, and
while in that state has smashed the whole of the
furniture, got the wife turned out of all the houses
she has got into, and his threats have been of such
violence, accompanied by assaults, that she has had
to bring him to this court three times, and he has been
held to heavy bail. This restraint had not weaned
him from drink, and now bad become so violent that
the wife went in fear of her life. She had offered to
give him 9s. a week t 3 keep away from her, but he
refused. The magistrate ordered him to find bail for
twelve months.

AN ADDITION TO THE FAMILY.

The London Stock Exchange, as the centre of
the financial negotiations of the world, is about
to add another to the financial family. The
Imperial Government of Japan has contracted for a
loan of £1,000,000. The price is to be 08, and the
rate of interest 9 per cent. per annum, the principal
to be redeemed at par within 13 years by annual
drawings. The object of the loan is to connect
by railway Yeddo, the capital of the Empire,
with Yokohama, Osaka, and the port of Tsuruga—
points which comprise several millions of inhabitants,
and the most active travelling communities of the
country.

A LARGE DEATH-RATE AND ITS CAUSE.

Accounts as to the sanitary condition of some
parts of Monmouthshire are really alarming. De-
fective drainage, the proximity of pigs' styes to
dwelling-houses, and other unwholesome causes,
are doing for the inhabitants just what
may be expected. Pontnewydd and Cwmbran,
villages between Newport and Pontypool, have suf-
fered frightfully from typhoid fever. Blaenafor, a
town numbering some 8,000 inhabitants, is in a
deplorable state, and measles are carrying
off the children at the rate of six or
seven a day. Such was the number of deaths
there last week that the death rate rose to 163 per
1,000, instead of the usual proportion of about 22
per 1,000. To cope with this awful mortality
there are but three medical men. The local autho-
rities must belong to the " peculiar " people.

TILE BRISTOL ELECTION.

The petition just presented against the return
of Mr. Robinson, who succeeded Mr. Berke-
ley, charges bribery, treating, impersonation,
and other corrupt practices against agents and
friends of the candidate. Worse still, it main-
tains that such persons acted with the knowledge
and consent of the candidate at the
preliminary test ballot, and before, during, and after,
the election. The petition does not, however, claim
the seat, though it was stated that Mr. Staveley Hill,
Q.C., M.P., who had been consulted, was of opinion
that if proved the charges would suffice to unseat
Mr. Robinson. The Conservative leaders in the
borough discourage the proceeding, but the working
men are carrying it on resolutely, having secured
half the money required as security.

THE DRAMATIC COLLEGE.—Yesterday, in accord-
ance with the terms of Mr. T. P. Cooke's will, the annual
dinner was given at Maybury to the lady and gentlemen
pensioners of the College, under the presidency of Mr. Ben-
jamin Webster, the master. The muster was not so large
as it has been ; and the necessity for all the chief visitors to
return to town in time for their professional engagements
occasioned an early break up of the meeting. The formali-
ties of the occasion included the reading of Mr. Cooke's will,
or that clause of it which relates to the Dramatic College
and the prize play, and the drinking " in solemn silence" to
the memory of Shakspere. Mr. Webster, in the course of
one of his short and genial speeches, announced that their
Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales have
signified their intention to honour with their presence the
benefit performance at Drury-lane Theatre on the 14th of
May.

Hogg, is now under remand at the Bow-street Police Court
for being in unlawful possession of the same. The room
used as a library at the station presented a rather st ange
sigLt, reseraling a curiosity shop—there being an exten-
sive display of Dresden and other china and glass of a
beautiful description, gold and silver watches (several of
the latter by the same maker), rings of different kinds, gold
chains, pins, and in fact every description of jewellery,
plated goods, opera and plate glasses, revolvers, snuff-boxes,
cases of drawing instruments, &c. Only a few of the articles
have at present been identified, and the remainder can
be seen on application to Inspector Shaw or the inspector on
duty.

For Indian railway stocks there has been but little in'
quiry, but the quotations have ruled firm.

cent in the 1867 and in the 1869 bonds. Russian (1862/
have risen -I-, but Egyptian (1868) and ditto Government
Railway Debentures have fallen and Turkish 6 per

THE GREAT FIRE IN THE EAST END.

Up to the present time a great deal of fire remains
smouldering in the immense heaps of rubbish lying
in the lower part of the different buildings, and the
remaining walls frequently emit bodies of flame from
the bend timbers and beams. This necessitates the
continuous attendance of the firemen, who are con-
stantly exposed to great danger, for last night the
northern wall fell, and it seems a miracle that a num-
ber of the brigade were able to escape. Each huur
shows a further loss of property than was at one time
anticipated.

EMIGRATION.

Mr. W. H. Smith, M.P., has been very active in
furthering the emigration of many families desiro us
of trying their fortunes in the New World. Among
the emigrants who sailed in the Medway were
seventy belonging to Westminster who had been as-
sisted by the hon. member. They were encouraged
in their venture by the recollection that those who
preceded them in April last had been fortunate
enough to procure employment three days
after their landing. An interesting scene
took place prior to the departure of the West-
minster detachment. Having been entertained at
a farewell breakfast by Mr. Smith, they proceeded
down the river in a special steamer to the Victoria
Docks. Mr. Smith took the opportunity of address-
ing words of advice and encouragement to the emi-
grants, who greeted him with hearty cheers. Up to
the present time about 140 poor and deserving West-
minster people have been assisted to Canada
during this season by Mr. Smith, in conjunction with
the British and Colonial Association, and more are
to follow. •

THE WANT OE RAIN.

The crops, all over England, will suffer to a con-
siderable extent, if the country is not shortly visited
by a fall of rain. In France plentiful showers of not
only rain, but on one or two occasions of snow, have
fallen, and in Scotland and Ireland no drought of any
consequence has been experienced. In England,
however, the case is different, and fears for the
young turnips, the wheat and barley crops, potatoes
and mangolds are beginning to be expressed generally
by the farmers. In most of the London churches on
Sunday the prayer for a supply of rain was offered up.

THE ILLUSTRATED NATURAL HISTORY
of BRITISH MOTHS. By Edward Newman, F.L.S., F.Z.S.
Giving a full description of the perfect insect from nature ; also a
description of the Caterpillar, Chrysalis, Food Plant, Time of
Appearance, and Localities where found. Each moth is'drawn from
nature by George 'Willis, and engraved in his best style by John
Kerchner. The figures are life-size of every species : and if varieties
require it, three, four, live, and even six figures are given. The work
Is complete in thirty-one monthly numbers, i. 6,1. each. The work is
also issued in quarterly parts, in covers, at is. 6d. each part. Part X.
now ready, price 2s, Back numbers reprinted, and may be had.

"We congratulate British entomologists on the completion and
pulnication of this magnificent work."—Field.
" Both to the beginner anti the proficient in that study this work
will be invaluable."—Daily Telegraph.
" It is illustrated with life-size figures from nature of each species,
and of the more striking varieties, and it possesses great advantages
over all similar works, inasmuch as the caterpillar of each moth,
with his habits and season, is described. This, to collectors, will be
an immense boon, and by its means they will be enabled to obtain
many rare specimens."—Standard.
"The completion of Mr. Newman' work on the British Moths is a
benefit to entomologists of all classes. It is at once a text-book by a
high authority, most valuable for reference, and a handsome, taste-
fully got-up volume, which will be an ornament to any library or
drawing-room table. It embodies the results of many years'
earnest and intelligent work by one whose reputation as an ento-
mologist deservedly stands high. . . We notice also with
satisfaction that Mr. Newman's descriptions, whilst thoroughly
scientific and minute, are given in plain and unaffected English.
With the help of these and the very excellent woodcuts, even a
very young collector may with ease identify any moth he may cap-
ture. The figures are so well drawn that there is no need of colour
to render them life-like. . . . . We unhesitatingly commend
this volume to our readers. We regard it as a very useful addition to
our library." Land and Water, Oct. 9.

NATIVE CHRISTIANS IN INDIA.

A lady who is related to Baboo Keshub Chun der
Sen has surprised all the members of the community
of Brahmos, in India, by becoming a Christian. The
lady, although a widow, is as yet very young, and
her friends attempted to prove that she had not come
to the years of discretion (16) at the time when she
declared her intention of adopting her new form of
belief. A trial was held, and the Judge, an
Englishman, decided that the lady was suffi-
ciently capable of choosing her own creed. To
his judgment, the learned gentleman added his op"
nion that matters requiring personal discretion of
this kind, did not, in the eye of the law, depend upon
the mental culture or intellect of the individual.- A--11
idea seems to prevail in India, and in England as
well, that Brahmism is, after all, a broad sect of
Christianty. This is a mistake, and some liberal
missionaries have even gone so far as to designate the
Brahmos as their most bitter opponents. The real state
of the case is, that a few, like the Indian Reformer
now in England, are sincere and anxious to propagate
the real tenets of Christianity, whereas the majority
of the community are men who, dissatisfied with the
idolatrous practices and moral restraints of Sin-
dooisna, rejoice in a system too vague to control
their conscience, and too lax to demand self-sacrifice
or moral courage.

CONSERVATISM AND EDUCATION.

Archdeacon Denison, in a letter to the Daily Tele-
graph, expresses an opinion that what has taken
place and is taking place in relation to the Education
Bill, shows what a thing Conservatism is, especially
in matters religious. The true account of the Bill is
that it substitutes, in the schools of the Church
national education fur Church education. This, he says,
was not only accepted by Conservatism as an escape
from something worse, but was welcomed and praised
by it as a good thing in itself. Conservatism
could not, or would not, see that there must be great
changes in the bill, and that the unnatural affection
manifested towards it at its birth by Conservatism
would help largely to make those changes not
pleasant to that "ism." But now that the changes
are brought about, Conservatism goes about the
country in the persons of bishops and clergy, talking
of the bill as if it were the same bill, and dealing
largely in platitudes about preferring religious to secu-
lar schools. Upon the whole, he says, Conservatism is
like a plant forced iu a hot bad, watered to death,
with heads always dropping off unnaturally, and
limp and unwholesome leaves.
