POLITICS IN BELGIUIL

Belgian politics are at present in a position not unlike
our own. The Upper House, the Senate, has
defeated the Ministry three times on a bill for
the Abolition of Imprisonment for Debt, and the
Ministry is in an all but hopeless dilemma. Like the '
Gladstone Cabinet, it commands a large majority in the
Chamber of Representatives, or Lower House, but is in a
minority in the Senate, or Upper House. The Chamber sup-
ports the Government, the Senate systematically frustrates
it. It is quite within the power of the King to dissolve the
Upper House, which is an elective assembly ;. but this
course, it is feared, would be of no avail. It is matter of
certainty that a similar majority would be reelected, for
the influences which enabled the senators to secure their
election will enable them to keep their places. They are,
indeed, elected by the same citizens who choose the
deputies ; but then no Belgian can be made
a senator unless he is 40 years of age, and pay at
least £B4 a year in direct taxes. The choice is, there-
fore, very limited, and the magnates who now sit are so
powerful that they have practically a monopoly. To dis-
solve the Senate would, therefore, only inflict upon the
Ministry the fresh mortification of seeing pretty nearly
the same members re-elected. It is open to the Ministry

to resign, but it is questionable whether a Cabinet with
such a majority in the Lower House ought to resign; still
more questionable whether another Cabinet would com-
mand the assistance of the Lower House. It is a very
singular situation—one House nullifying the work of the
other, and no remedy apparently.

THE FENIAN PRISONERS.

Dublin has held its meeting to protest against the
retention of the Fenian prisoners. Four thousand
people gathered in the Rotundo to demand the release
of the captives. Mr. Butt, Q.C., said the motto of true
Irishmen should be " Bide your time ; put ,yo
Ir
trust in God, and keep your powder dry.' f
Government persisted in retaining the prisoners any
profession of conciliation was useless. Mr. Williams,
of Dungarvan, said the prisoners would not accept
mercy; they demanded justice of the English Govern-
ment, and if it was refused let the blood be on their
own heads. He did not advocate a resort to the
sword ; that doctrine was out of date.

THE LORD'S DAY REST ASSOCIATION.

The Working Men's Lord's Day Rcst Association
held their annual meeting on Monday evening:
The secretary read an abstract of the report,
which stated that the efforts to keep the
Crystal Palace closed on Sundays had been
successful. The friends of the association
had, at the suggestion of the committee, purchased
stock in the company, so that they now held 0,000
votes. At the late general election the members
of the association exerted themselves to procure the
rejection of all such candidates as had declared them-
selves to be favourable to the Sunday opening of
museums. Efforts have been made to secure Sunday
rest on the Continent, and forty-two newspapers
out of fifty-seven in Germany have ceased
to issue a Sunday edition, by mutual agreement.
M.P., addressed the meeting, and com-
plainedM r
o Charley,th
the abolition of six-day cabs. Resolutions
in support of the association were adopted, and the
proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the
chairman, Mr. T. Chambers, M.P.

WORKING MEN'S CLUB AND INSTITUTE UNION.

On Monday a conference of representatives of
working men's clubs and institutes was held at the
Society of Arts, Adelphi. It was decided that the
council should appoint auditors whose services might
be rendered available to any working man's club. A dis-
cussion was held as to the best mode of carrying on the
educational element in clubs, and it was resolved that
the Government should be urged to extend
aid to night-schools and educational institutions
not in connection with certificated day-schools,
and that a deputation should wait on the President of
the Council of Education. It was suggested that the
society might render useful services to the clubs, by
engaging lecturers, encouraging comersaziones, and
establishing reading-rooms and libraries. The repre-
sentatives of the various clubs who were present
agreed to give due consideration to the proposals
made to them.

HOUSE OF COMMONS-THIS DAY.
The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock.
THE OVEREND AND GURNEY TRIAL.

Mr. BRUCE, in reply to Mr. Erskyn, said the matter
of the prosecution in this case had been fully considered
in the cabinet, and the result arrived at was
there was nothing in this case that should remove
it from those of ordinary cases where the pro-
secution is left to those who had been sufferers. The
only precelent was that of the Royal British Bank, when
the prosecution was carried on at the expense of the Go-
vernment, but that was a case to be avoided rather than
followed. The Government had been applied to to fur-
nish funds for the prosecution of the directors of the Leeds
Bank, but that application had been refuse 3, and
it was thought quite impassibla to furnish funds
to carry on a prosecution, the conduct of which
would not rest in their bands. He was quite aware that
it would be said there was an inconsistency in the Go-
vernment iroseeutiug Madame Rach9l and refusing to do
so in the case of the directors in the case of
Overend, Gurney, and Company, but the question
in the former was totally different from that .in the latter.
In Madame Rachel's case the question was whether a par-
ticlar judge had jurisdiction to try the case, and upon that
the previous conviction and sentence of five years penal
servitude dfpended, and so great public importance
attached to the determination of the question
that the Government felt bound to take the
matter up. The Lord Chief Justice had decided that a
prosecutor could not in that court conduct his case in per-
son, and he thought it would be admitted that he was a
competent authority on the point. The Government-
having fully considered the whole of the matter, were of
opinion that the circumstances of the case of Overend,
Gurney and Co., did not afford sufficient reason for making
any exception to the general rule.
Mr. EYKEN gave notice that to-morrow he should call
the attention of the house to the subject. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. FAWCETT asked if it was competent for a soli-
citor to conduct the prosecution ?
Mr. BRUCE could not say, as he was not well-informed
on the subject they practice in law courts.

TF{E HEALTH OF LORD DERBY.

The statement that Lord Derby is seriously ill is
contradicted. His lordship is, however, understood
to be suffering very much from the exertion which
his recent speech in the House of Lords caused
him.

THE OTEREND, GURNEY, AND CO. PROSECUTION.
Several of our contemporaries have begun to an-
ticipate a failure in the Overend, Gurney, and Co.
prosecution. Not so Dr. Thom. He writes
that he still intends to go on with his case, notwith-
standing the refusal of the Lord Chief Justice of the
Queen's Bench to allow him to conduct it in person,
notwithstanding that he cannot afford to pay for
counsel, that the public do not, and that the
Treasury will not, help him. He still declines to
engage counsel ; but ho is going to " stand upon his
rights" to conduct his own prosecution in his own
way. Another road out of the complication is sug-
gested by Mr. Darby Griffith, M.P. He writes offer-
ing towards the engagement of a counsel a dona-
tion of £lOO, and suggests that others should join in
the subscription.

importance, and it was a serious consideration

THE BELGIAN RAILWAY DIFFICUM.

The wearisome dispute between Belgium and France
relative to the right of the latter over the railway lines of
the former, is still unsettled. The commission, consisting
of, three members from each State, has not been able to
effect anything. The news published in the French official
papers is always the same ; the commission has been
sitting, its members have not been able to agree on the
principal points in debate, fresh instructions have been sent
for, and another meeting will speedily be held. Such is the
stereotyped bulletin which once more makes its appearance
in the last issue of the Patric. The question is called a
purely economical one, utterly unconnected with the
domain of politics ; and yet the commission neither com-
pletes its work nor gives up the task. It has now been at
work for about a month. The Brussels journals are
actively disputing about the exact point of difference
between the two Governments, but the fact that they are
unable to agree is certain.
London, England, 1869-06-30

MR. FERRAND ON MR. GLADSTONE.

Mr. W. B. Ferrand, the whilom M.P. for Devon-
port, recently stated very positively that at a private
meeting held prior to the general election, at Mr.
Gladstone's house, it was decided that the bond of
union between the Liberal party—then split into fac-
tions—should be the severance of Church and State,
the destruction of the Protestant religion in Ireland,
and the restoration of the Roman Catholic faith.
Mr. Gladstone's attention having been called to
this statement, he declared it to be " utterly
without foundation." This denial has called
forth a letter from Mr. Ferrand. Mr. Ferrand
charges the Premier with prevarication. While
admitting that the proceedings at the said meeting
were not made public, he lays down that subsequent
proceedings have shewn substantially what was
done at it. The Liberal party was then divided; the
meeting was held to consider how to re-unite it ; and
the result was the Suspensory Bill. Did not that bill
(asks Mr. ferrand) seek to divide Church and
State ? And (he goes on to ask) was not Mr. Glad-
stone constantly in communication with Sir John
Gray j ust after it was decided to attempt the dis-
establishment of the Irish Church ? Does not Sir
John Gray seek to overthrow Protestantism and to
restore Roman Catholicism ? If so, then certainly Mr.
Gladstone, having been in consultation with him,
must seek to do the same. And Mr. Gladstone being
the leader of the Liberals, the whole party is just
now seeking the downfall, total and entire, of Pro-
testantism and the aggrandizement of Popery. It
is as plain as a problem in Euclid--according to Mr.
Ferrand.

TIIE IRISH CIIURCH.

" A Catholic Land Agent Resident in Ireland"
writes to the Times on the question of providing
glebes and manses for the Irish parish priests.
lie believes that the Catholic laity would iunni-
measly assent to the proposiA, and that the
majority of the Catholic clergy of all orders
would sanction it, provided it were made as a con-
cession to the principle of justice and religioi.:3
ecivality. He suggests that etch Catholic bishop
should be constituted a corporation sole for his own
diocese, and that all the parochial glebes and manses
should be vested in him and his successors.

Mr. Tighe Hamilton has published another letter,
renewing his arguments in favour of the plan of
vesting the religious endowments in the hands of
lay trustees. By this means he thinks all inter-
ference with the organisation and discipline of the
churches would be avoided, and religious equality
secured. The Protestants might not like it, but they
must accept some form of concurrent endowment if
they would save their Church. The only inequality
which would remain would be the Royal supremacy
over the English Church, which cannot be anni-
hilated by the bill so long as the Sovereign is willing
to remain the recognised head of the Church.

DESELTNER. TO LORD GEORGE SIAMILTON, M.P.

On Monday afternoon Lord George Hamilton,
M.P., was entertained at a grand d6eiiner at Hamp-

ment. The Dui.° of Abercorn addressed a few
words to the assembly before proceeding to
Buckingham Palace to meet the Viceroy of Egypt.
Lord G. Hamilton expressed his aclinowledgmeies
for the honour he had received, and declared that he
was deeply indebted to the people of Hampstead, who
first induced him to come forward as a candidate for

before them benefited t:ie Conservative c Luse. lie
concluded by denouncing Mr. Gladstone's want of
candour in reference to the Irish Church Bill, and
exhorting his friends to be prepared for future Coll-
tsts. The Houses of Lords and Commons were
proliosed, to which toast Mr. W. Smith, M.P., re-
turned thanks, and the proceedings terminated.

TILE KHEDIVE.

The Independance Beige confirms the statement that the
Sultan, greatly irritated at some of the Khedive's indepen-
dent proceedings, did make representations to the various
European Courts respecting the manner in which the
Viceroy ought to be treated in order to keep him in
remembrance of the fact that he was a vassal of the Porte.
But the Khedive has since sent explanations which have
dissipated all inquietude, and the relations between the
two potentates are now of the best.

A'IRICULTUP.AL rrtosri C S.

The uncertain!y of the weather continues to ex-
ercise a depress'ng influence upon agriculturists, and
their anticipations of the harvest are not very
cheerful. With regard to the most important
staple, accounts vary considerably. In Essex
the dull and showery weather has kept the crops
backward, and some anxiety is felt. In Lincolnshire
the wheat has improved in appearance, though it
will not be a great yield. In Norfolk and
tho.---ax..ither has been__ ...cold_ and
stormy. In Cumberland the wheat crop is
expected to be light in conseouence of the injury
done to the young plant 3 by the frost. From
Leicester much the same acounts are given. From
all parts comes the same cry for warns and settled
weather. The barley crops are unfavourably spoken
of, and are likely to prove under average. Beans
and peas are flourishing, swedes promise well, and
the crops of trifolium are good. The grass is heavy,
and the pastures luxuriant ; so that the winter pro-
vision is much more promising than last year. Those
agriculturists who arc wise enough to drain and
cultivate their land in a liberal spirit are now reap-
ing their reward in the superiority of their crops.

A RELIC OF FF.UDALISAf.

Every now and again we stumble on remains of
past ages, now in the shape of old ware, old battle
implements, or graves of the dead, in some
custom, amusement, or process, and anon in a
curious old law which would long ago have been
forgotten had it not been that personal interest had
kept it alive. Such a relic bequeathed by feudalism
has just been unearthed at St. Ives, Cambridgeshire.
The Court of Common Pleas has just been trying
the case of -" The Duke of- Manchester against
Penson." In 1203 King John, it appears, granted
to the Abbot of Ramsay the right to hold a
market at St. Ives, and this grant has descended
to the present Duke of Manchester. Two tolls are
levied by his Grace—one over a bridge leading into
the town, the other on the sale of beasts in the town;
and so productive are these tolls that in 1844 the
Duke demised them for an annual rent of ;MO, on
which, of course, his tenant made a profit. The
dealers in cattle were opposed to paying ; so, termi-
nating the lease, the Duke became his own toll-
collector. The defendant Penson refused to pay the
tolls. Thereupon the Duke brought his action
against Penson, which action other cattle dealers
assisted Penson in defending. But, after a trial of
four days before Baron Martin, the jury found a
verdict in favour of the right of the Duke of Man-
chester to levy a penny a head on all animals pur-
chased within certain limits of the town of St.
Ives; not, however, without the expression of
some doubts from the learned judge as to the
law. The Daily News says, in regard to this case,
" Setting the law of the case aside, the idea of a
great duke levying tolls for his own profit, and
deriving hundreds of pounds a year from the sale of
animals for food in an open market in the nineteenth
century, has surely something very odious about it.
Out of England such a spectacle of extortion is not
now to be found; yet England is pre-eminently the
country of free trade."

TIGHT LACING.

Society is returning once again to an old vice.
Ladies arc becoming enamoured once more of
unnaturally small waists, and they are using tight
lacing as a means to obtain them. Periodically the
tight-lacing rage seems to set in, and continually
ladies have to be warned that in producing taper
waists they may bring on consumption, crooked
shoulders, a red nose, and a train of other evils. But
the warning is heeded only for a time, and then for-
gotten. They want to have some one continually
urging them to care more for health than for very
questionable beauty. That is beautiful which is
natural ; by implication that which is unnatural is
not beautiful. Certainly small waists produced by
tight lacing are unnatural.

The a(ljlurned debate on this bill was resume,l,
Mr. C. FORTESCUE said he could not give his assent
to the second reading of the bill, more particularly at Ili.;
period, when it had become necessary for the Government
to send an immense military force to Ireland, to prevent
any disturbance arising from a collision taking place be-
tween the two parties in the north of Ireland ou the oc-
casion now approaching. (Hear, bear.) The Government
would put the present law into force most effectively for
the purpose of maintaining the peace, and he could only
hope that., in the north of Ireland, peace would be pre-
served on the 12th of July.
Tho debate had not cop eluded at a quarter to six, at
which hour it closed in compliance with the standing
orders.

The County Coiirts (Admiralty Jurisdiction) Bill passed
