MEETINGS ON THE IRISH CHURCH BILL.

A meeting of working men was held on Thursday
at the Arundel hall, Strand, to support the Irish
Church Bill. Mr. Edmond Beales presided, and
declared that the working men had been called
together to protest against the course pursued
by the Conservative peers. Mr. Gladstone
had shewn that he was not wanting to his
supporters, and the working men of London
must show that they were not wanting to
the Premier at this critical juncture. Mr. George
Potter moved a resolution to the effect that
the Lords had changed the Irish Church Bill
BO much that it was no longer a satisfactory
measure. Some disturbance was created by a person
present speaking in favour of the House of Lords,
and finally the dissentient was ejected from the
room. The resolution was carried and another to
the same effect was also agreed to. A third resolu-
tion was passed declaring that a areat national
demonstration should take place in London if the
House of Lords &dined to pass the bill returned to
them by the Commons.
The Vigilance Committee of the Reform League
has held a meeting, under the presidency of Mr.
Beales. 1i; was determined to call together the
Council and representatives of the Reform League,
to consider the propriety of a demonstration in Hyde
Park on the Irish Church question, and that a con-
ference should be held on the 19th of July.
It is proposed that a monster meeting shall be
held on Blackheath on Sunday in favour of the Irish
Church Bill, and against the Lords' amendments.

r A RLIAMEN TA r:Y A:AT

ELECTIO2c3.

The select committee of the House of Commons charged
with the inquiry into the mode of conducting parlia-
mentary and municipal elections continued its sittings
on Friday afternoon at one o'clock, the Marquis of
Hartington in the chair.
Mr. James Edge, of Bolton, stated that lie had had
large experience of elections, both parliamentary and
municipal, and he was certain that in the part of
Lancashire with which he was acquainted the intimidation
of workmen by their employers was greatly on the
decrease. This he attributed to the enlightenment of
public opinion, and the improved and more independent
position of the working classes. Bribery used to be rife
at elections, but it was not so now. Witness did
not approve of the Ballot, or think it necessary, for he
believed it would neither prevent the " bottling " of
voters, bribery, nor personation. He advocated a system
of issuing voting-papers to the electors, and prohibiting
canvassing for a number of days before the election took
place. He would impose heavy penalties on persons
falsely filling up a voting-paper. The papers could be
given in by a collector, who would call for them, and in
this way the voter would be freed from the intimidation
of mobs at the poll. It was considered a great hardship by
working people that they had to lose a day or half a day
in going to the polling•place to record their votes.
The committee adjourned.

CUBA AND THE UNITED STATES.

The New York Tribune has received news from Wash-
ington that General Sickles, the new American Ambas-
sador at Madrid, has been instructed to negotiate for the
purchase of Cuba from Spain. The Tribune does not
guarantee this information, and it condemns the project,
on the ground that not a penny ought to be wasted on
"Spain's forfeited possessions," leaving it to be inferred
that the United States ought to take Cuba without payment.
It is quite possible, however, that the American Govern.
ment may contemplate the purchase of the great Spanish
island. The Times the other day plainly hinted that all
the activity at New York in the suppression of filibuster-
ing was due to an arrangement between Spain and
America. Spain cannot in honour give up the island now;
but let the insurrection be suppressed, and the Madrid
Government may then, without reproach, part with a
possession which it cannot hold for a sum in hard cash,
which is so sorely needed. But the Government dare not
give up the island whilst the insurrection is going on.
Spanish pride would not tolerate it.

➢IR. PEABODY'S GIFTS.

More than two years ago Mr. Peabody handed
over to the authorities of the City of London sixteen
acres of land, situated at Brixton, to be used for the
benefit of the poor of London. The poor of London
have obtained not the slightest benefit from it as yet.
It is lying waste and untouched just as when first
purchased. Surely someone is responsible for this
most serious neglect of the benefactor's purpose.

THE " WOODS AND FORESTS."

There are certain estates called Crown Lands, the
income derived from which goes to the national
exchequer. The management of these lands is
entrusted to the department known as the Woods
and Forests. The presiding spirit there is Mr.
Gore. This gentleman is a public servant, and yet,
when under examination by a parliamentary com-
mittee with respect to an arrangement which the com-
mittee called "an infamy," this public servant said : "I
care not for the British public at large, nor for the
British public in particular. My only duty is to
exact as much as I possibly can, and when I do so I
am upheld by those in high authority." The arrange-
ment respecting which M.P.'s used the above strong
term is as follows :—There is a certain collection
of mansions known as Kensington Palace Gardens.
Through them runs a broad road from Notting-hill
to Kensington. That road is closed against public
vehicles; and, in order to keep the profane vulgar far
off, there are gatekeepers, who receive together a
salary of £143 a year. That salary is not paid by
the owners of the mansions, but by the public. In
other words, the public pays in order to exclude
itself from one of the most important thoroughfares
in the suburbs. Another mode in which the Woods
and Forests do business is as follows :—Blackheath
is one of the finest suburban open spaces round
London. But the " Woods and Forests,' intent only
upon screwing together every penny, allow persons
to dig gravel there. The consequence is that the
Heath is full of enormous holes and pits. The income
derived from this source is the magnificent sum of
£54 a year. If Mr. Gore will make the Kensington
Palace Gardens people pay for their own keepers
he will be able to discontinue gravel selling on
Blackheath, and yet be £9O a year better off that he
was before.

site resisting power is supplied by the goc-Main Pad and
Patent Lever, fitting with so much ease and closeness that
it cannot be detected, and may be worn during sleep. A

ELECTRICITY IN MEATS AND DRINKS.

Nervous people, whose ideas of electricity are con-
nected with artificial thunder and lightning, with
sparks and shocks, will not perhaps be pleased to
learn that their food is made up of voltaic combina-
tions. Yet we have it on the authority of an Amer i-
can professor that such is the case. Ile tells us that
we crave for such combinations; that our liking of
mustard and salt with beef, our mingling sugar with
coffee, of raisins with almonds, salad with oil; are pro-
duced by a need of the electro-negative and the
electro-positive together. It even seems that Sam
Weller was not so very far wrong when he spoke of
drinking his-ale from "the native pewter," for there
is in that metal a combination with the beer that
renders the beverage more agreeable. By such peculiar
laws does nature do her work.
London, England, 1869-07-17

THE INSURRECTION.

An American sailor, named Speednian, who was
captured after landing in Cuba with a filibustering party,
has been shot at Santiago. He claimed that he had been
deceived when he shipped, was forcibly detained when
landing, and surrendered to the troops after skirmishing.
When he was taken to Santiago the Consul endeavoured
to save him, and asked for a delay of the execution to
enable him to present proofs. This was refused. The
matter has been represented to the American Govern-
ment.
London, England, 1869-07-17

NITRO-GLYCERINE.

Mr. Bruce's announcement anent nitro-glycerine
on Thursday night will cause some surprise. Ho
stated that he should endeavour to turn a bill for
regulating the storage and transit of nitro-glycerine
into one for prohibiting altogether the manufacture
and importation of that article. The Engineer,
writing before Mr. Bruce's announcement, devotes a
long article to the subject, and agrees with us in
urging that the recent *accident—if such it can be
called—does not point to prohibition but to regulation.
Gunpowder, our contemporary points out, must have
appeared more dangerous when first discovered than
nitro-glycerine does now ; but it was not prohibited,
and we seek at this time to make it safe, not to stop
its sale. In the same way, when nitro-glycerine is
known and understood, its transit and storage will
become safer; its use may be so regulated as to take
away the greater part of the danger. The Engineer
sets down a code of rules which Parliament might
consider. Let no store be within half a mile of an
inhabited house or factory. Let public stores be
provided for its reception from a ship or railway.
All transits on land should take place in the night,
and should be made only by special license. Not
more than 5001 b. should be stored in any one place ;
and, in cases of private consumers, only so much
should be stored as by special permission is allowed
In transits no cans with seams or angles should be
used ; only ellypsoidal metallic bottles—something
like sodawater bottles, but of larger diameter as
compared with length—should be permitted.

LONDOit', SATURDAY, JULY 17, 1869.

Several rather odd incidents last night marked the
closing scene of the Commons' rejection of the Lords'
Amendments. For example, there was that eccentric
outbreak of cheering and counter cheering which
occurred immediately upon the announcement of
tho numbers upon the last division taken for and
against one of the Lords' An.endinents. For the
motion there were 290, against it there were 218—
consequently there was a clear majority of 72 against
the Lords' amendment then under consideration.
Nevertheless, hardly was the result declared, than
there arose vociferous and prolonged acclamations
from the side of the Opposition. As though Seventy-
two against them were really a triumph on their

THE NEW BEER ACT.

The Now Beer Act came into operation on Thursday, hav-
ing received the Royal assent. The bill, whose object in
to amend tho law for licensing beerhouses, and
to make some alterations in the sale of beer,
cider, and wino by retail,: was prepared and brought
forward by Mr. Selwin Ibbetson, Mr. Akroyd,
and Mr. Headlam. It gives new and stringent powers to
the magistrates and police in dealing with beerhouse-keepers
who contravene the terms of their license. Hitherto the
control of beerhouses has practically been taken out
of the hands of the magistrates and the police.
Any person, if his premises were of sufficient rate-
able value, could obtain a license from the Excise to
sell beer, and if he offended against the law in the ma-
nagement of his house it was difficult to obtain a conviction.
The number of beer-houses was consequently very
large. In Liverpool -when the last police report was
published there were 6,522. The number has
since increased, and many of them are badly
conducted. The now Act provides that no license for the
sale of beer by retail shall henceforth be given except on a
certificate granted by the justices for ono year. Certificates may
be refused if the applicant fails to produce evidence of charac-
ter ; if the house or shop is frequented by persons of doubtful
character; if tho applicant has been previously disqualified by
misconduct from receiving a license. Tho justices will re-
quire the same evidence of character in the applicants for
beerhouse licenses as they do for publichouse licenses, only
they will have to specify the grounds of their decision. Con-
stables my enter houses licensed to sell beer not to
ho consumed on the premises, and proof of money
passing is not necessary to prove sale. The lodger
difficulty is met by clause 14, which provides that if any
person suffer beer to be drunk in his house at any tints
during which it ought to be closed he shall bo liable to a
penalty of 40e. nose persons who are found in a beer-
hom e during illegal hours are also liab7o to a penalty. Jus-
tices will not have the power to refuse a cettiGcate of re-
newal of citsCng leer licenses, unless the holder shall have
been more than once convicted under th's act.

The damages in the action by Murphy against the
Mayor of. Birmingham are laid at £l,OOO. It is said that
Mr. Newdegate, Mr. Charley, and one or ttvo other promi-
nent members of the ultra-Protestant party, are supporting
the prosecution.

Reductions iu the Coastguard cervice are, it is
stated, about to be made by the Government. The first
step in this direction will be immediately taken by the
abolition of the Coastguard stations at Sittingbourne and
Conyer, on the Kentish coneit. Between 7,000 and 8,000
retools annually enter the erak twon the shore of which

FRANCE AND CHINA.

The Paris Patrie, semi-official journal, denies altogether
the statement that a Chinese official had struck the French
Ambassador at Pekin, and that a serious difficulty would
probablybe the consequence. The difficulty which actually
did occur was very slight. Some Christians established
in one of the northern provinces had been maltreated by a
mandarin, and the French Ambassador demanded repara-
tion. This was not at first conceded ; but the representa-
tive of France " energetically renewed his claim," and at
length obtained justice. The mandarin was removed, and
recompense awarded to the Christians. The relations
between the Courts of Paris and Pekin are, according to
the Patrie, in the most satisfactory condition.
