THE PERILS OF PROMOTION.

Mr. Bright told the representatives of the Chambers
of Commerce a day or two back that he had no
cause,
RowelThanodnal-11l measure havfng made his life a
iny,,sto be thankful for the penny post,
buirmdee personally,
him. Most of our public men have,
at one time and another, complained of the way in
which correspondents inundate them with letters.
There is certainly one part of the Post-office arrange-
ments for which men who stand high in public
esteem have no cause to be thankful, that which
doubles the postage for unpaid letters. The Earl of
Longford has just been made major-general. As a
consequence, he is open to correspondence from and
and everyman who may have purposes of his own to
serve. His lordship, in a letter to the Times, encloses
a note which he has just received from a French
statuatre. It bore Bd. unpaid postage, being dated from
Paris. It commenced by calling the Earl's attention
to the fact that the art of statuary has always been
considered as the means by which the images of
generals distinguished by their talents, their services,
and the nobility of their family are transmitted to
posterity. Lord Longford being such a general is
invited to have a bronze bust or statue of himself
taken by the writer. Lord Longford says thati his
correspondent seems to think a monument of his
brass more enduring than fame.

CO-OPRItATION.

Two years ago Messrs. Fox and Head, ironmasters,
of Middlesbrough, converted their business into a
partnership of industry, the arrangement being that
the current rate of wages should be paid to the work-
men, 10 per cent. charged as interest for capital,
and the surplus should be divided equally between
employers and employed. It so happens that during
these two years the iron trade has been in a very
depressed state, and there has been no surplus.
However, as Messrs. Fox and Head point out,
the employes have derived this advantage from
co-operation—for while they have been paid in all
cases the current rate of wages, they have been saved
from the risk of strikes, from the tax of union
levies, and from union intimidation. In connection
with the works a store has been started, but, strange
to say, has met with little. support, only 26 out
of 400 workmen having Joined it. It would beinterest-

TURKEY AND GREECE.

King George has so much confidence in the security of
his Government and the pacific desires of his people, that
he intends, says the Patrie, to make a tour through
Europe immediately after the elections. His Queen
will be Regent during his absence. The Independance
Beige says that the Greek Government and the Porte have
each shewn considerable anxiety to complete the resump-
tion of diplomatic relations before the arrival of the Prince
and the Princess of Wales, in order that every trace of
the recent rupture might be removed previously to their
visit. But, according to the Brussels paper, the Prince
and the Princess will not go to Constantinople.

MAYNOO'r IL

Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply to Mr. Corrance, said with
respect to the sums respectively apportioned (out of the
proposed sequestration of Church property, namely,
£1,00115,000), to Presbyterian purposes and the College of
Maynooth, he could only refer to the expressions
in the bill itself. With respect to Maynooth, all that was
to be done was that the sum annually voted could be
taken out of the bill :nd multiplied by 14. With respect
to the Presbyterians he was not in possession of the pre-
cise computation of the amount.
THE SAFETY SIGNAL.

Mr. BRUCE iicreplytoCaptainisam (Tr, said it had &en
found necessary in consequence of some serious accidents
at the corner of Bridge-street to take extra precaution
for the safety of foot passengers at that point. Tha
signal had been partially successful. It was ob-
served by omnibus drivers, and was beginning to be
understood by the less intelligent of drivers of other
vehicles. (Loud laughter.) Superintendent Walker
thought the signal helped very much the labour of the police,
and recommended its continuance for some further time,
and therefore he thought it did contribute to the safety of
the passengers, but he could not venture to say it was
ornamental. (Laughter.)

ROYAL CHRISTY MINSTRELS.

Owing to an engagement of long standing the
Christy Minstrels of Wit. George's Theatre gave
their entertainment last night at the Hanover-
Equare Rooms. It „ speaks well for their popu-
larity that neither the sudden change of place nor
the as sudden change of temperature dimi-
nished the number of the audience or the
favour with which their songs were received.
In consequence of the change of scene, the ex-
travaganza of "The Grand Dutch-s" was not
night, but Mr. VeAris, who re-
performed last
presents the Grand Duchess, appeared in
female costume, as usual, and sang his
famous drinking song, which was encored.
The vocal and instrumental portion of the enter-
tainment was carried out pretty nearly according
programme. The quick alterna-
to the printed
tion of the most sentimental and the most comic
songs is one of the great charms of these entertain-
ments. An appeal is made alternately to the uni-
versal sentiments of laughter and of emotion, whilst
the audience is allowed but little time to dwell upon
either. "My Spirit Star" is followed by "Don't
Kicl up a Row," "The Spring Time of Life," by
We Meet Again," or
" Pretty Polly rade,"
Blue-eyed Violets," by " The Monkey's Wed-
ding" or "Pompey Jones." And if the shading of
" Just Before the Battle, Mother," is somewhat
too deep, there i 3 the irrepressible and irre-
sistible "Bones" ready to drive all care and sad-
dess away. Altogether the St. George's Minstrels
are great favourites, and it is by no means sur-
prising that they are well supported by the public.

LANCASHIRE VOTERS.

The Times publishes some very curious statistics re-
specting the cost of the recent elections in Lancashire.
The total amount is divided by the number of voters,
and so the price per voter is obtained. Mr. Milner
Gibson had to pay only 2s. 10d., while Mr. Mellor
baid over 55., and as the first was only 209 votes
ehind the second, one cannot help suspecting that
the greater expenditure of cash on the part of Mr.
Mellor had something to do with his success. In
Blackburn, however, the losers paid more money than
the winners. This happened also in Clitheroe,
Liverpool, Oldham, Preston, Salford, Staleybridge,
Warrington (where Mr. Greenall, the defeated
eandidate, paid just double the sum paid by Mr.
Rylands), Wigan, North Lancashire, and South-
West Lancashire. The largest sums per voter were
paid by the Marquis of Hartington, who had to fight
a single-handed contest, and is down for 31s. 6d.,
and by Mr. Mitchell Henry, at Manchester, who re-
tired at two o'clock, having polled only 5,236, and paid
275. 11d. a piece for them. But for this gentleman the
Manchester election would have been one of the
cheapest that occurred, Mr. Bazley and Mr. Bright
having spent only about- ls. 3d. each. In the neigh-
bouring borough of Salford the Liberals spent
4s. 4d. per voter. The minimum was reached in
Oldham, where Messrs. Ilibbert and Platt spent only
9/d. each per voter, and Messrs. Cobbett and Spinks
only ls. 41d.. This is the more creditable because
the contest was the closest in Lancashire,the numbers
polled by the four candidates being 6,140, 6,122.
6,116, and 6,084.

THE CLINTONS.

The late Duke of Newcastle was a singularly
unfortunate man. He differed seriously in politics
from his father (who was a Tory of the old extreme
school), he had to obtain a divorce from his wife,
he had to bear the chief odium of the Crimean
failure, and he was struck down by mortal disease
when retrieving his political reputation. Fortunately
he did not live to see two of his sons in
the Bankruptcy Court. Lord Arthur, aged
29, and Lord Albert, aged 24, have both made their
appearance on that disreputable stage. Lord
Arthur has managed to run into debt to the extent
of nearly £35,000, and has no assets. He attributes
this disgraceful condition of affairs to " insufficiency
of income," the amount he received being only £4OO
a year. This is doubtless a small amount for a man
c
in his position ; but there is an old proverb abOututting one's
.coat according to one's cloth, which
Lord Arthur appears to have forgotten. It is not
absolutely necessary for a man with only £4OO
a year to go upon the turf, nor to borrow money
at 100 per cent, from Jews.

REV. NEWMAN HALL ON DISESTABLIHMENV.

The Rev. Newman Hall has
been giving some
advice to the House of Lords
as to how they shall
deal with the Irish Church Bill. He felt sure, he
said, that it would pass the House of Commons, and
he would counsel the House of Lords to pass the bill
in silence, and
"shelve" the question as quietly and
as long as possible; for, if they attempted to obstruct
it, he believed such obstruction would be speedily
followed by a demand for the disestablishment of
Scotland, Wales, and, lastly, the total severance of
Church and State. He warned those peers who dis-
liked the measure not to vote against it—as such a
course would be followed by the creation of many
new peers to pass it—but rather to absent themselves
from the House on the occasion of its debate.
London, England, 1869-03-11

EARL RUSSELL.

As for Earl Russell (' clarum ac venera bile
not:Jaen!) the country cannot but deem him to have
at length—tardly it is true, but still at last without
any further paltering with his great reputation—
consulted his own dignity, acting-
in this as best
becomes the memory of his historical and illus-
trious career, by not accepting office of any
kind in the Cabinet whethcr with or without
a portfolio. In effect, it has always appeared
to us remarkably derogatory to any statesman who
has once attained the august position of Prime
Minister of England—ever—under any conceivable
circumstances accepting a subordinate post, no
matter of what kind, in a subsequent Government.
Those who bear in grateful remembrance, as we do
most certainly ourselves, the eminent achievements
of Lord Russell as a loyal, a patriotic, and an
enlightened Reformer, whose name is inscribed
in luminous characters, not alone upon the Statute
Book of the realm, but upon what may be called,
without extravagance, the perpetually expanding
Chart of the'Constitution, cannot but regard, have
always regarded, his occupation of any Ministe-
rial position below the highest as, in plain terms,
an indignity to his reputation. It is an indignity
for the infliction of which, time and again before
now, he has been alone himself, of course, res-
ponsible. But it is one, howsoever inflicted, at
the recognition of which we at any rate have in.
variably winced, looking on simply as spectators.
The Blue Ribbon of the Garter, if you will, the Earl's
cornet—he has earned them all! But not a lesser
place than the highest in any Government—not a
subordinate post for one who has twice created
and presided over a Government of his own;
the earliest champion of reform in the House of
CouiwonP, the colleague of Grey and Melbourne,
h. riv d of Peel, the filen 1 of all the noblest meu
of letters of his time, the venerable statesman
whose fair fame, as an orator and as an adminis-
trator, links our own age with that of the great
historic epoch in Parliament, when Pitt, and Fox,
and Burk and Sheridan, were the giants of the
hour.—The Gladstone Government, by a Templar.

THE UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE.

The Light and Dark Blue crews were out again yesterday
morning, and were eagerly watched in their performances
by a considerable number of spectators. There is now
only a week to the day of the race, and though something
in the way of improvement in both is observable, the two
eights have got all their work before them to be
iu proper trim for the final contest. The Oxford
men still shew their superiority in the matter of strength.
but have not yet got rid of the fault, noticeable from the
of rowing " all abroaff." Their opponents pull, as
usual, with a much more rapid stroke, and with greatest
finish ; but, looking at the two boats when they had got
way thoroughly on, there seemed to be good ground for
the conviction that Oxford would have the pull in
a race which laid much stress upon the staying powers of
the contending parties. Below is a correct statement of
the weights of the :trews at the present time.

REV. NEWMAN HALL ON DISESTABLISHMENr.

The Rev. Newman Hall has been giving some
advice to the House of Lords as to how they shall
deal with the Irish Church Bill. Ile felt sure, he
said, that it would pass the House of Commons, and
he would counsel the House of Lords to' pass the bill
in silence, and
followed by t "shelve" the question as quietly and
as long as possible; for, if they attempted to obstruct
it, he believed such obstruction would be speedily
demand for the disestablishment of
Scotland, Wales, and, lastly, the total severance of
Church and State. He warned those peers who dis-
liked the measure not to vote against it—as such a
course would be followed by the creation of many
new peers to pass it—but rather to absent themselves
from the House on the occasion of its debate.

FRANCE AND BELGIUM.

The Owl regrets to announce that the relations between
France and Belgium are in a most critical state. Cer-
tainly they are not all that could be wished. The railway
difficulty was thought to have died a natural death some
time ago ; but, as the Owl remarks, it is still pending, and
is, now the subject of negotiations. But the statements
respecting the mission of those diplomatic interchanges
are conflicting. Some of the French journals believe,
with the Owl, that the affair is assuming a serious aspect;
others affirm that the French Government is merely trying
to prevent the refusal of the concession to the East of
France Company. It will be remembered that the new
law, which has caused all the recent trouble, gave the
Belgian Government the power to refuse any foreign rail-
way company the right of working a Belgian line. The
French Government, it is said, desires that the Brussels
Ministry shoald not exercise its newly-acquired right in
the case of the proposed concession to the East of France
Company of the line from Arlon to Brussels.

TR BALLOT WANTED.

Mr. Hugh Brooks, a Conservative gentleman, of
Burton-upon-Trent, has recently afforded a practical
illustration of the need which exists for the
Ballot. Ile had lent Mr. Thorneley, a shoe-
maker in a neighbouring village, £OO, at 5 per
cent., and £l2O, at 5 per cent., on a freehold
mortgage. On the approach of the election,
Mr. Brooks wrote to his debtor to ask for the
promise of his vote on behalf of the Conservative
candidates. Mr. Thorneley, however, having been
for years a Liberal, replied that he could not
act so inconsistently. Mr. Brooks thereupon
said that he must remove his money from Mr.
Thomeley's keeping, and place it where it
could assist Conservatism and Protestantism, and
requested that Mr. Thorneley would pay interest
within ten days, and let Mr. Brooks know what
auctioneer he would prefer to conduct the sale of his
freehold. Mr. Thorneley was fortunately able to

PUGILISM IN AMERICA.

DEFEAT OF AN ENGLISLI PRIZEFIGHTER.
The New York papers give an account of a prize tight
which took place on Carroll Island, in the Mississippi,
near St. Louis, on the 23d ult., between Charles C.
Gallagher, of Cleveland, Ohio, and Tom Allen, of Eng-
land. The fight, it appears, only lasted three minutes.
According to the chronicle of this brutal exhibition, iu the
second round, " Allen attempted to make a feint with his
left, but at the moment he did so Gallagher swtmg in his
right, which lauded under the left ear, right on the
jugglar vein, which knocked Allen stiff and senseless.
Gallagher was declared the victor.

THE PERILS OF PROMOTION.

- - -
Mr. Bright told the representatives of the Chambers
of Commerce a day or two back that he had no
cause, personally, to be thankful for the penny post,
Sir Rowland Hill's measure havirig made his life a
burden to him. Most of our public men have,
at one time and another, complained of the way in
which correspondents inundate them with letters.
There is certainly one part of the Post-office arrange-
ments for which men who stand high in public
esteem have no cause to be thankful, that which
doubles the postage for unpaid letters. The Earl of
Longford has just been made major-general. As a
consequence, be is open to correspondence from any
and every man who may have purposes of his own to
serve.
His lordship, in a letter to the Times, encloses
a note which he has just received from a French
statuaire. It bore Bd. unpaid postage, being dated from
Paris. It commenced by calling the Earl's attention
to the fact that the art of statuary has always been
considered as the means by which the images of
generals distinguished by their talents, their services,
and the nobility of their family are transmitted to
posterity. Lord Longford being such a general is
invited to have a bronze bust or statue of himself
taken by the writer. Lord Longford says that his
correspondent seems to think a monument of his
brass more .

THE CL INT ONS.

The late Duke of Newcastle was a singularly
unfortunate man. He differed seriously in politics
from his father (who was a Tory of the old extreme
school), he had to obtain a divorce from his wife,
he had to bear the chief odium of the Crimean
failure, and he was struck down by mortal disease
when retrieving his political reputation. Fortunately
he did not live to see two of his sons in
the Bankruptcy Court. Lord Arthur, aged
29, and Lord Albert, aged
24, have both made their
appearance on that disreputable stage. Lord
Arthur has managed to run into debt to the extent
235,000, and has no assets. Ile attributes
o nearly f
this
disgr
aceful condition of affairs to insufficiency
of income," the amount he received being only £4OO
a year. This is doubtless a small amount for a man
in his position ; but there is an old proverb about
cutting one's coat according to one's cloth, which
Lord Arthur appears to have forgotten. It is not
absolutely necessary for a man with only £4OO
a year to go upon the turf, nor to borrow money
at 100 per cent. from Jews.

rsr EARL OF DERPY AND HIS IRISII

TENANTS.

The Earl of Derby has just addressed the following
:ircular to the tenants and others resident on his
estate in the neighbourhood of Ballykisteen House,
[reland :—" My good friends,—Let me write to you
as one who, though long absent, has never ceased
:o take a warm interest in all that concerns you.
For forty-five years I have had the charge of the property
)n which you live, and I can truly say that I have always
studied to promote your welfare and comfort, and to your
:redit be it said that in that long period no serious crime
gas come to my knowledge as having been com-
mitted by any of you. It grieves me, there-
ore, to learn that one of your immediate neighbours, an in-
)ffensive man, and, I am told, generally popular, has been
-ecently murdered, and the high road, not far from my
'odge gate. lam glad to be assured that no suspicion
A having been concerned in the murder attaches to any
A you ; but I have reason to believe that more than
me of you are aware of facts which, if disclosed,
night go far to fix the guilt on the actual criminal.
It is to the interest of all that crimes of such
magnitude should not go unpunished ; and I desire to
Impress on you, what I fear is not sufficiently understood
n Ireland, that he who, by shielding a murderer,
encourages the crime, is only one degree less culpable
than he who commits it. You all know that I never
ejected a respectable and deserving tenant, but you musk
not be surprised if I do not allow anyone to continue;
M the occupation of my land who, by concealing or misr&
presenting facts within his knowledge, shall be found tt
have done his best towards frustrating the ends of justice,
and making himself virtually an accomplice in the crime
of murder. I offer no money reward for information. I
appeal rather to your love of justice and to the desire which
you must feel to relieve yourselves from the disgrace
of having such a crime perpetrated in the midst of you,
and undetected ; to disclose fearlessly and truthfully to
those whose duty it is to make inquiry any circumstances
which may lead to the discovery of the murderer. Do
not, I entreat you, by neglecting this, your positive duty,
give me cause to lower the good opinion which I have
Formed of you after so many years' acquaintance.—Your
old and true friend, DERBY."
