NEW LAW COURTS.

Mr. Finlaison writes to the Telegraph on the New
Law Courts, and considers the respective claims of the
Carey-street and Embankment sites. With regard
to cost, he believes the advantages to be all on the side
of the Government scheme, and he makes out that
there will be a balance in its favour of £285,000.
This estimate is on the supposition that the Courts
could be built on the Carey-street site for £1,000,000
equally as well as on the Embankment, but this
cannot be assumed to be certain. All other diffe-
rences sink into insignificance compared with the
question of approaches. The Carey-street site as
it is would be inaccessible, and it would be necessary
to have a new street; but the approaches are already
provided on the Embankment site, and practically we
see in the estimate the total cost involved on this
site. It must also be remembered that the Howard-
street site will have to be used for some public
purpose, and therefore on every ground the adoption
of the Government scheme will be prcductive of a
great saving of expense to the country.

TRIAL OF CENTRAL-FIREEVOLVERS.

On Saturday a trial was made, in the covered rifle-
,:eound at the Crystal Palace, of improved Colt'; revol-
vers, the improvement being one which Las long been
desired, and which has been under the consideration of
inventors for two or three years. Since the six-chamber
" Colt " was first introduced to the notice of Englishmen,
At the Great Exhibition of 1851, it has maintained its
supremacy as an accurate shooter. But it has
been surpassed by the mechanical adaptability and
handiness of use ; and it was in a dangerous way of being
gradually superseded and rendered obsolete, till the plan
of making it a central-fire pistol was perfected. The
old revolver, made on the ordinary cap and nipple pattern
which was general with firearms of every kind
before the system of breechloading began rapidly
to tend towards universal adoption of central-fire
cartridges, can, at a cost of twenty shillings,
be
converted to the new and approved form. There
are about 17,000 Colt's revolvers in the service of the
English Government ; and it is therefore a question of
some national importance whether, instead of rearming
our men, it would not Le wiser to improve the weepons
with which they are already provided. With those
weapons it is perfectly well known that better practicesean
be made, at a greater number of pe.cee,tha.r. with anyother
kind of revolving pistol. In the matter of rapidity, some. '
of the repeating breechloaders may appear still to bare
an advantage over the "Colt," even in its improved
shape. But the merits in this respect are balar,ced by the
facility with which exploded cartridges are ejected from '
the new central-tire pistol bearing the redoubtable Ameri-
can colonel's name. It is an unquestionable recommenda-
tion of the improved "Colt" that its empty cartridges can
be readily got rid of in the simplest manner, without aid
of the lever ramrod. This appliance is used in loading
just as it was used with the capped chambers of the
old-fashioned pistol. That is to say, the central-fire
cartridge is not inserted at the breech of the chamber, but
is rammed home, and the pistol is then discharged in the
usual way. The empty shells are removed hy =lines
and snapping the hammer---an operation which, with a
little practice, can be performed in an astonishingly short
space of time. Another valuable quality of the improved
pietol, or of its ammunition rather, is the saving of the
metallic cases or shells, which can be reloaded again
and again. An interchangeable nipple c3-lite'sr
is supplied with these pistols, vhich can tLu;
be loaded with Leese powder and hall, a neat( r of no
small importance in eountriees where made-up ammunition
ie nut easily procurable. The trials cn Saturday were,
e%itheut the smallest exception, satisfactory. So far from
accuracy and penetration having suffered by the change
of cartridge and the addition of the extracting apparatus,
it was found that, if anything, the pistols were improved
in these respects, as they are unquestionably improved in
all others.

THE FRENCH ATLANTIC CABLE,

The success of the French Atlantic Cable may now be
taken as accomplished. What now remains to be done is
a mere matter of detail, about the successful completion
of which it is not too much to say that no possible
doubt exists ; and no more anxiety is felt about it
than there would be about laying a line between
Dover and Calais. The French Atlantic Cable
is virtually laid ; all its deep-sea dangers are
past. The line is in an unexampled condition
in all its tests, and all that is wanting to complete it is
to make the connection between St. Pierre and Boston
over very shallow water. A matter which tends to give
confidence is the perfect punctuality and regularity with
which the Great Eastern has done her work throughout.
With a chart of the Atlantic it has been quite easy to
mark at any hour of the day or night within a mile the
spot she was on, or to mark within a mile where she would
be in the next twenty-four hours. The coarse laid down
for her has never been appreciably deviated from, and the
amount of slack, calculated at 14 per cent., has been
expended almost to a mile. It was expected that on
Thursday and Friday, whatever the weather, the great
ship would begin to roll very heavily, and on Thursday
and Friday the reflecting galvanometer at Minou shewed
that in this as in other matters she was doing exactly what
was expected and predicted of her. The Great Eastern
will probably remain at St. Pierre till the end
of this week to put on the paddle floats which
were removed before she started, and to put
out those she has in now to the- full circum-
ference of the wheels. Then, having transhipped
all the staff of engineers and electricians on board
the William Cory, the great ship returns at once to
England, where she is expected at the end of this month,
to take in the Anglo-Indian Cable. In the meantime the
staff, with the William Cory, will proceed to lay about
164 miles of cable from St. Pierre towards Boston. In
this journey shea-will be accompanied by the Scanderia
and the Chiltern. This length of cable will take the
William Cofy over water varying in depth from 150 to
200 or 250 fathoms, past Cape Breton to the Cut of Canso.
The staff will then again be transferred to the Scan-
deria, which will lay 450 more miles of intermediate
line of extra thickness. This will stretch from the
Gut of Canso to the edge of the Brown Bank, south of
Cape Table, and will be laid in water of not less than 100
fathoms ; the Chiltern then in turn takes the staff and
lays the remainder from Brown Bank to Boston, a dis-
tance of about 150 miles, and this completes the St. Pierre
and Boston section, and then all is done. Everything is
expected to be completed by the end of this month, after
which the whole line must remain in perfect order for
thirty-one days before it is formally taken over by the
French Company, which then becomes solely responsible
for its working and maintenance.

CONCURRENT ENDOIVMENT.

By a majority of 35, the Peers have refused to make
the Protestants pay for their ecclesiastical residences and
glebe lands. The Archbishops of Canterbury and Dublin,
and the Bishops of Bangor, Derry, Lichfield, London, Peter-
borough, and U.'uatri went with the majority. It will be seen
from this that only four dig,nitaries of the English
Church took the trouble to record their votes on this ques-

tion. The majority also included the Dukes of Abercorn,
Duccleuch, Beaufort, Buckingham, Manchester, Rich-
mond, Rutland, and Wellington ; the Marquis of Salis•
bury ; Earls Derby, Harrowby, and Russell ; and Lords
Cairns, Chelmsford, Churston, Cong,leton, Grinstead
(Earl of Enniskillen), Redesdale, and Talbot de Malahide.
In the minority were the Dukes of Cleveland, Norfolk,
and St. Albans ; the Marquises of Ailesbury and Nor-
manby ; Earls Cowley, De Grey, Denbigh, Fitzwilliam,
Fortescue, Granville, Grey, Kimberley, and Spencer ;
Lords Dufferin, Monteagle, Romilly-, Somerhill (Marquis
of Clanricarde), Stanley of Alderley, and Sundridge
(Duke of Argyll). The Earl of Shaftesbury and Lord
Westbury were both absent, as were also the Duke of
Marlborough, the Earl of Carnarvou, and the Earl of
Malmesbury.

THE IRISH PEERS AND THE CHURCH

BILL.

A meeting of Irish Conservative peers, convened by
circular, and intended to be strictly private, was held at
the residence of the Duke of Abercorn, Chesterfield House,
South Audley-street, on Saturday, for the purpose of
coming to some decision as to certain parts of the Irish
Church Bill. As we have stated, the meeting was pri-
vate in the strictest sense of the word. Notwithstanding
that every endeavour was made by the reporters both
to obtain admission into the meeting and to learn the
result of it afterwards, their efforts were unavailing. The
Duke of Abercorn himself stated to the representatives of
the Press that he could give them no information ; and
this was said to the reporters of both the Conservative and
Liberal journals. We understand, however, that between
sixty and seventy peers were present, and the meeting occu-
pied some two hours. A mongst others, the following were
present :—The Duke of Abercorn, Earl Bandon, Viscount
Templetown, Lord Henniker, Lord Carbery, Earl of
Sheffield, Earl of Clancarty, Lord Middleton, Earl of
Clonmel, Earl of Rosse, Lord Dunboyne, Lord Dunsany,
Earl Powis, Earl of Limerick, Earl of Bantry, Lord
Vesci, Earl of Portarlington, Marquis of Westmeath,
Earl of Leitrim, and Lord Hawarden.

TIIE ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC RAILROAD.

Mr. Thomas Magee, who has been a traveller by the
Great Atlantic and Pacific Railway, contradicts the state-
m nts which have been published respecting the fatigue
of a journey across the North American continent.
The weakest invalid would, he thinks, be strengthened
by. the delightful expedition, in which there is a
constant succession of novelties. lie describes with
enthusiasm the beauty and variety of the scenery
through which the railway passes. Even on the
great plains, the home of the wild buffalo, where there is
a sameness about the journey, the air is peculiarly exhila-
rating. After leaving the plains, the Rocky Mountains
are reached. The sceno from Sherman, the point of
greatest altitude on the. entire line, which is 8,212 feet
above the level of the sea, is one which can never be for
gotten. Further on is the great valley of -Utah,
with its shining Salt Lake, the Sierra Nevada
mountains, in r,ro..sing which an altitude of over 7,000 feet
is attained in a distance of 112 miles, the descent of which
is so rapid that steam is altogether shut off and the breaks
partially applied. The cars are most comfortable, the
sleeping arrangements in perfect order, and forty-eight
persons can dine at one time in the elegantly fitted dining
car. A compact kitchen is fitted up with every contri-
vance for preparing food quickly and well. There
are ice -boxes and provision- cellars, in which
fresh meat and other edibles are packed. Wine,
tea, coffee, and fresh milk are at command, and, at
the reduced rates. The ourney from New York to San
Francisco can now e made for £25. £5 will cover all
incidental expenses. Mr. Magee, who has several time■
made the journey via Panama, declares the railway to be
far less fatiguing than the steamers of the tropics.

TILE RECIPROCITY TREATY.

The renewal of the Reciprocity Treaty between Canada
and the United States will greatly benefit one institution
which needs •benefit —the Grand Trunk Railway of
Canada. By the terms of the former treaty, which
expired in March 1866, wheat, grain, and live stock of all
kinds were admitted into the United States duty free,
and as these commodities are the stapleproduce of Canada,
the Grand Trunk akt an immense business in transmit.
ting them to the frontier. The suspension of the treaty
stopped the traffic, and loet the company several thou-
!ands a week, which it will now regain. Assuredly tho
prospect of this railway getting a little relief from its
miseries is gratifying.

THE BACKSTAIRS TO THE CONTINENT.

The Spectator, in a most amusing article on the
rumoured promise of Mr. Bright that he will ask the
House of Commons to guarantee 2A per cent. upon
£2,000,000 for making the under-sea tunnel te-the
Continent, parodies all the objections which that
scheme should meet with from old-fashioned Tories.
It will give the lie to our geography books, by con-
verting England from an island into a peninsula ; it
will enable the French to annex us one fine morning
without our knowing anything about it; it will bring
those nasty French wines into England more cheaply
than ever; it will make us all one with the Con-
tinent, aye, and with semi-barbarous Asia and
wholly: barbarous Africa too. And all for the
sake of the cotton lords, in order that they may get
their wretched stuffs into the Continent without the
' cost of transhipment. For certainly no one will
ever think of using that horrible hole. Better be
sick in the daylight than drowned in the dark. The
only possible recommendation for this absurd scheme
is that we may perhaps entice the French army
into the tunnel. and then let the sea in upon them ;
repeat, in fact, the miracle which Moses wrought
uron the Egyptians.

cnlmE IN IRELAND.

Ireland is hardly a crime-producing country.
Were it not for political viololce, the judges would
have little besides civil business to attend to. There
are just now four judges who have had to congratu-
late four several assize districts on the small amount
of business which they had brought forth. In Mayo
there are only thirteen cases ; at Longford only three,
and one of these was a remand from the last
assizes ; the county Monaghan presents only four—
thirteen offences being the total number reported to
the police since the judges last visited the county;
and at Limerick the judge had the white gloves
presented to him. Some of their lordships could not
help deploring that exterior exciting influences took
from Ireland the reputation she deserved. •

A DIVIDED KINGDOM.

In the course of the same article there is another
serious fallacy. The John Ezt.7l asks "if England
shall allow Imperial interests to be entirely swamped
by Scotland, Wales, and Ireland ? " In the first
place the thing is impossible. If "England" is
agreed upon one point, that is, if all the English
members vote together, they would be in an over-
whelining majority (more than two to one) even
though all the Irish, Scotch, and Welsh members
voted together. But the question is really a most
improper ono. It implies that England alone
has the right to discuss " Imperial" questions. Such
questions belong to the whole country, and
when they are at issue there is no England nor
Wales, nor Ireland, nor Scotland, but one united
kingdom. A remark like this is really most uncon-
stitutional, and appeals to the worst kind of
prejudices.

PASTORAL ATD AND POLITICS.

•••-,..
" Clerical ra!tening " is rather an ugly expression,
—t it is m 11 ie witi,• best eh aycterises the proceedings
of tee Church Pastoral Aid society with reference
to the Rev. Philip a
HaMs,
the vicar of St. George's,
Wigan. Mr. Hams is Liberal, which certainly is
no reason why he should not be a clergyman. Mr.
Hams also advocates the disestablishment of the Irish
Church, in which we can see no very overpowering
reason why he should not have a curate. The vicar of
St. George's, moreover, does not altegether despair of
a Church under the voluntary system, in which want
of leaning on State endowments we confess we see
no cause for the withdrawal of the aid of a voluntary
sscciation. The managers of the Church Pastoral
Aid Society, lic:7:ever, think differently; and th,y
Lave withdrawn from Mr. Haim the aid they for-
merly gave him towards the support of a curate.
They have done this, too, because Mr. Haim
spoke in favour of Mr. Gladstone during his
contest in South Lancashire. Last Sep-
tember the rev. gentleman was informed that
if he continued to advocate the Liberal policy
the grant to his parish would be withheld.
Mr. Hams published the correspondence, and most
people thought that that would end the matter, and
that a society formed for the purpose of carrying on
the holy work of spreading the truths of religion
would not sink to misuse its income for political

GREAT BANK ROBBERY AT NEW YORK.

One of the boldest and most successful robberies on
record was committed at the Ocean Bank, New York, on
Sunday, June 27. The establishment is situated above a
broker's office, and the thieves, getting into the latter,
knocked a hole through the ceiling and ascended. The
vault, defended by three doors, was entered, and two safes
forced open, the whole of this long task being accomplisl. e 1
in the most businesslike manner. The burglars got clea
off with property to the value of not less than half
million dollars.

MILITARY TRAINING IN FRANCE.

The Army and Navy Gazette mentions a very remark-
able fact in connection with the French Garde Mobile.
This body is not a reserve, but a supplement to the resery
and the active army, and it is ordained that every Frenchman,
of 21 years of age who is not drawn for the regular force
must serve in the Garde. The drilling of these citizen
soldiers has commenced, but the work of organisation dots
not go on very rapidly. In order to lighten the burden for the
rising generation, the Minister of War has had cases of
Chassepots despatched to the various schools all over
France, and the young Gallic idea will learn to shoot at
an early age. If found proficient when the time arrives
for entering the Mobile, his services will be dispensed
with except in case of war. Thus not only are the
French to be tirade a nation of soldiers, but they are to be
trained to war from childhood.

NEW DISCOVERY IN JERUSALEM.

Those who have watched with interest the progress
of the Jerusalem explorations will be glad to read
the account just sent over by Lieutenant Warren.
lie tells us that the explorers have succeeded in
driving a gallery up to the great block of masonry
forming the north-east angle of the Harm wall, and
have found it to he built of great bevelled stones atleast
sixty feet below the surface. Through a slit in the
wall they penetrated into a passage, and, further on,
an aqueduct. There is little doubt, he thilfics that
this is an ancient overflow from the Birket Israil,
and he finds matter for surprise in the
reflection that while there is such a dearth
of running water in Jerusalem, the Birket
Israil has, probably within our era, been full
up to a certain point and flowing over. Lieutenant
Warren states that if the excavations are to con-
tinue, sufficient funds must be forthcoming to com-
plete the work, and he adds that it will be a great
mistake to stop now for want of funds—a conclusion
in which most persons will agree with him.

ANOTHER ROW AT CORK.

There is still a want of harmony in the Cork
Town Council between the present and the late
mayor. The present mayor deprecates all need-
less exhibition of party feeling; the late mayor
likes to have party bitterness constantly maintained.
The public band in Cork, for instance, he would have
to play party tunes continually ; not, be it noted,
" The Battle of the Boyne," it would be downright
treason to play that, and only serve to incite the
people to riot ; but " The Green above the Red," and
such like, Mr. O'Sullivan would have to be played
continually. The Mayor having advised on Friday
that the band should not play such tunes, he was
attacked in the style peculiar to Mr. O'Sullivan.
Then ensued the usual reply that insults were being
used, and amid noise, confusion, and rival shouts the
Council broke up.

RUPTURES.-BY ROYAL LETTERS PATENT.

IVHITE'S MOO-MAIN LEVER TRUSS
(Perfected and Exhibited in the Great Exhibitions
of 1851 and 1862) is allowed by upwards of Five Hundred
Medical men to be the most effective invention in
the curative treatment of HERNIA. The use of a steel
spring, so often hurtful in its effects, is horn avoided—a
soft bandage being worn round the body, while the requi-
site resisting power is supplied by the Moe-Main Pad and
Patent Lever, fitting with so much ease and closeness that
it cannot be detected, and may be worn during sleep. A
descriptive circular may be had, and the trues, which can-
rot fail to fit, forwardel by post, on the circumference of
the body, two inches below the hips, being sent to the

SlP,—There will be plenty of sport this week.
The Nottingham meeting will be celebrated on
Tuesday and Wednesday. The Nottinghamshire
Handicap has secured sixteen acceptances, and the
horses beat in arc Ligurian, Tornado, Mexico, and
Stork. Tornado, though a non-stayer, is bound
to run well, as the course is easy, and so will Stork.
Still neither of the pair looks so formidable as
Mexico and Ligurian. Several fast horses have
been nominated for the Bradgate Plate, amongst
them Stoll:, Harebell, .4-EiluF,, Veda, and Clario-
vette. if reserve] for thi3 event, Stock can
barely be defeated. For the Stand Plate
Prince Imperial, Riga, Problem, and Flying
Jib, have not been overweighted ; and if Prince
Imperial cin defeat Problem, Captain Machell's
speedy colt may be hailed the winner. The Robin
Hood Stakes (six furlongs) will end in a match
between Cymbal and Scarbro'; and as Green Riband
may not put in au appearance for the Rufford Ab-
bey Stakes Queen of Hearts will have an easy win-
ning task. Forty-seven two-yr-o!ds have beer,
nominated for the First Biennial Stakes, and
amongst them are Agility, Countryman Eiferon,
Demidoff, Vibration, Elsharn, The Boy, Hawthorn-
dale, Lady Sophia, Mount Pleasant,Master Walter,
Scarbro', and Braemar. Of these the best are Agi-
lity, Countryman, Scarbro', and Demidoff. There
are 14 entries for the Clumber Park Stakes,
but Roma has only Queen of Hearts to fear.
The Southampton Meeting will take place on Tues-
day and Wednesday. There are twelve acceptances
for the South Hampshire Stakes, and as Red Rice
may not run, Captain Machell's elected, Crown
Princess or Silenus, will win. An indifferent lot of
horses have been entered for the Welter Handicap ;
the best are Aintree and Viscount St. Albans. The
Nursery Plate appears likely to be won by 'Shear
or Zerlina ; and the Cranbury Park Stakes by Fig-
leaf or The Mate. The Reading Meeting will be
held on Thursday and Friday. Eleven horses stand
in the Berkshire Handicap, and Master Willie has
only to beat Chivalry for this stake to be won by
Cliff's stable. In the Whitley Stakes April Morn
and First Emperor are the pair most likely to pro-
duce the winner. For the Abbey Stakes (5 fur-
longs) 57 two-year-olds have been nominated, but
the race will be confined to Green Riband, Haw-
thornden, Pate, and Cestus, as Prince Henry is
amiss, and will not run. The Nursery Stakes ough
to be won by Ironstone or Fancy Boy.

MARRIAGES IN HIGII LIFE.

Two marriages of interest in the fashionable
world have taken place to-day. The first was
at St. Paul's, Knightsbridge, and was between
Viscount Downe and Cecilia Maria Char-
lotte Molyneux, the daughter of the
Dowager Countess of Sefton. The marriage
of Viscount Cole, eldest son of the Earl of Ennis-
killen, with the neice of George Baird, Esq., 4,
Grosvenor•gardens, and Shill-hill House, Kelso,
Roxburgshire, was solemnized at St. Peter's Church,
Eaton-square. The newly -married pair left town
this afternoon for the Continent.

LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 12,, 1869.

A political juncture of considerable importance
seems to have arrived by an odd coincidence on this
day, Monday, the 12th of July, 1869, for England,
and France, and Ireland simultaneously. In Ireland,
to day has been looked forward to, especially in the
North, with some degree of eagerness and solicitude
as the anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne—when
the unfurling of the Orange flag is generally, in the
_.yes of every Wearer of the Green, as irritating, as
(naddening, one might say, as the flutter of the red
cloak of a toreador in the eyes of a bull in a Spanish
amphitheatre. In England the turn-point of the
political crisis of the hour is marked ou the papers
of the House of Lords for this evening, by the
order of the day for the Third Reading of the
Irish Church Bill, and the notification immeclia‘ ely
appended to it by the Viscount CLANCARTY, that he
will move instead that the third reading of the Bill
shall be taken this day three months or, in plainer
words, of course, that the Peers shall b 3 asked to
stultify themselves after all their discussions, after
all their divisions, after all their amendments, by re-
jecting altogether the very measure they have bean,
during these last few weeks, so elaborately tinkering.
In France the political crisis is of a yet more formid-
able character--expectation being aroused in reg ird
to this particular sitting of the Legislative Chamber
of to-day by reason of its being understood as not
by any means improbable that an Imperial manifesto
'maybe read by M. ROUSER announcing the deternai-

MR. HOWARD, SURGE ON-DEN TIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETII, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

THE RECIPROCITY TREATY.

The renewal of the Reciprocity Treaty between Canada
and the United States will greatly benefit one institution
which needs benefit--the Grand Trunk Railway of
Canada. By the terms of the former treaty, which
expired in March 1866, wheat, grain, and live stock of all
kinds were admitted into the United States duty free,
and as these commodities are the stapleproduce of Canada,
the Grand Trunk did an immense business in transmit-
ting them to the frontier. The suspension of the treaty
stopped the traffic, and lost the company several thou-
!.ands a week, which it will now regain. Assuredly the
prospect of this railway getting a little relief from its
miseries is gratifying.

The gold medal Congress voted George Peabody
has arrived at Peabody Institute, and is on exhibition
there. Accompanying it is a richly illuminated book, con-
taining the Congressional resolutions on voting the medal..
Mr. Peabody writes from Salem to an intimate friend :
"My health is not as good as cn my arrival, and I am
going to consult a Boston physician. I cannot see my
way clear to go South before August." He also corrects
two prominent errors made recently about him. " Cue is
in regard of my age, which will be 75 in February next ;
and the other is the value of the mite given by the City of
London for my statue. Its estinitted value is £I0,000."
