very plainly with regard to education, and has pledged
himself to extend it. He has promised, too, to devote
his attention to the improvement of telegraphic com-
munication with England—a pressing need of Indian
trade and commerce. In speaking
of the relations
between capital and labour, he has declared his belief
that in India national safety and advancement de-
pend mainly on agricultural prosperity. If Lord
MAYO can succeed in reconciling the conflicting in-
terests of the owner, the occupier, and the labourer,
and withal induce them to combine to develope the
resources of the soil, and thus consult the real
interests of the country, he will indeed be
fortunate. So far as the present year is
concerned, the Governor-General starts with the ad-
vantage of a surplus ; but, thanks to the famine and
the cpium, it is not likely that next year's experience
will be equally agreeable. India, however, can very
well afford to raise a loan on reasonable terms.
thanks to her improved credit; and it is very certain
that whatever money is laid out on railroads and irri-
gation schemes will speedily repay itself with inte-
rest, by supplying the two great needs of the coun-
try—an equal and efficient water supply, and a
thorough system of communication.

Mr. Richard Davison, nrmerly one of the Parlia-
moutiry representatives for the borough of Belfast, has died
in that town at the ago of seventy-two. Ho was fast re-
turned in 1852 at the head of the poll, along with sir., now
Lord, Cairns. He retired in 1860.

The Echo understands that Miss Saurin's father
was formerly steward and gardener to Mr. Smith, of Anna
Brook, an Irish landowner. The name was originally
Sauruhain, and ho married into the family of the Matthews',
of Hanover, in the same neighbourhood. Father Matthews
is the maternal uncle of Miss Saurin. We believe that
Roman Catholic opinion in Ireland is much divided as to his
conduct, and that many are angry with the Freemason's
Journal for giving no report of the trial.

THE case of Monnisox v. SHEPHERD, reported in
another column, should be studied by all persons
who are accustomed to take an active part in the
management of political contests. As our readers
are aware, the last contested election at Plymouth
had special features of interest which, fortunately,
were not prominent in other elections. Mr. STUART
LANE offered himself as a candidate in opposition to Mr.
MonnisoN, one of the sitting members. Very shortly
after Mr. LANE had comeforward, he made an affidavit
of poverty in order to escape the payment of calls on
shares in a company which he had got up, for which
he had received a large sum of money, which shortly
afterwards failed, and which its shareholders now
declare to have been rotten from the first. Mr.
LANE'S affairs have since then been prominently
before the public. lie has had to stand no fewer
than three prosecutions. The first was compromised
under circumstances which excited the strong sus-
picion of the LORD MAYOR, a warm political
partizan of the same opinions as Mr. LANE. On
the second Mr. LANE stands committed for trial
at the Old Bailey; the third is still being argued before
the LORD MAYOR, and will in all probability be also
sent to the Central Criminal Court. That Mr. LANE
sliUld have offered himself as a candidate under
such circumstances is nothing less than astonishing.
Men who have become involved in transactions of a
questionable character, however innocently, do not
usually become more prominent than is possible. Mr.
LANE, whose innocence has yet to be establisbed,

A frightful tragedy is reported from Grenoble, in
Franco. On Saturday evening Baron Brayer, inhabiting,
with his wife and son, aged 14, a private residenca in the Rue
Lafayette, was shot by his wife, the baroness, armed with
a revolver. The unfortunate woman, reported as
mad, instantly fired on her son, whom she shot through the
heart. Turning the revolver on herself, she blew out her
brains. When the servants, on hearing three successive
reports, rushed into the apartment, they found three corpses
bathed in blood.

Übe Jersey States have been considering a bill
to amend the regulation of taverns. The Constable
of St. Helier objected to the total closing of pub-
lic-houses on Sundays, as petitioned for, but he thought
that, unless a stop were put to the present state of
things, the Jersey race would dig out. The Assombly
agreed to increase Considerably the amount of licence duty,
and placed certain additional restrict ens on the sale: of
spirits by persons other than licensed publicans. A licence
duty was imposed on grocers selling by the bottle, and alsc
upon sellers of beer and cider.

MR. GLAASTONE AND THE GRECO-
TURKISH QUESTION.

A despatch from the Minister of Greece in London. to
M. Delyanni, Minister for Foreign Affairs at Athens,
dated December 24th, 1868, is published in the French
papers, from which will be gathered Mr. Gladstone's
opinion of the unhappy differences between Turkey and
Greece. M. Brailas was " received in the kindest
manner " by the present Prime Minister, and after
detailing some of the cruelties committed by Turkey on
Cretan subjects, was answered by Mr. Gladstone as
follows :---" You cannot doubt my attachment to Greece,
for you have long known me, and are my personal friend;
but the existing situation has been produced by a past of
many centuries, and presents some problems very difficult
to solve ; I understand the embarrassment of your posi-
tion, and, in my eyes, the question is reduced to knowing
to what point the internal troubles of your Government
prevent it from strictly fulfilling its international
duties." M. Brailas contended that individulals
cannot be constrained to conform their action
with that of the Government. " What is happening
in Greece," he said, " is nothing new ; the same has been
seen in Italy, England, and America." "I do not,"
replied Mr. Gladstone, " dispute the examples you quote.
But in Great Britain the Government would never tolerate
the regular despatch of assistance to a province in insur-
rection against a neighbouring State. I have consulted
Lord Clarendon, and he tells me that if what is being
done at this moment in Greece was attempted in England
the authorities could legally prevent it ; you know how
much the laws on this subject have been discussed here,
and I repeat that the question is one of very high import.
ance ; as for myself personally, I desire to be useful to you,
and I shall do what I can ; but I see no practical means
of aiding you ; however, Greece is under the protec-
tion of three Powers, and they have the right to inter-
vene, if you claim their assistance, to shield the Govern-
ment against interior difficulties." M. Brailas rejoined
that he recommended his country to England, for she
alone could save Greece. The conversation was then
brought to a conclusion in consequence of Mr. Gladstone
being obliged to attend a Cabinet Council.
