TUE LAND QUESTION.

The Cobden Club is about to contribute to the
literature of the land question. It will shortly pub-
lish a volume of essays, expounding the various
systems of land tenure prevailing in different parts of
the world. "The list of contributors (says the Daily
Eezvs) includes not only eminent English writers, but
some distinguished foreign economists, among
whom we may mention 31. Emile de Lavaleye."
The publication of such a volume comes
rather late ; but it will still be very useful
in many respects. For one thing, the details
of the many curious systems whiCh prevail in foreign
countries will be a refreshing. relief to the monotony
of the Irish discussion.

THE IRISH ClititCH.
The reorganisation of the Free Episcopal Church
of Ireland proceeds apace ; but not without difficul-
ties, discussions, and even heartburnings. In many
dioceses the elections for the Diocesan Synod are
still going on. They shew that the members
are very determined in their pronounced " Protes-
tantism." In one parish, that of Grangegorman, a
strong protest has been made against the vicar on
account of his "High Church teaching and Ritual-
istic (sic) practices." The said vicar is incensed at
the plan decided on for reorganising the Church; he
so objects to the laity having power that he will take
no part whatever in the elections. His parishioners,
however, do without him. Whether this
feeling against the turn of affairs prevails
very extensively among the clergy we do not
know; certain it is that very general and continually
expressed dissatisfaction is felt bk the body of the
Church against the Bishops making themselves a
separate order. It is by no means improbable that an
attempt will be made to upset this arrangement,
with what success, if the course be taken, remains to be
seen.

FELLOWSHIPS AT THE UNIVEESITIES.

Attention is again called by the resignation of a
Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, to the
question of our University Fellowships. De-
mands are repeated that they shall be made
" thoroughly national," or, in other words, that
the fellows shall not be required to be either clergy-
men or even members of the Established Church.
The Daily .News, in an article upon the subject,
argues that they were originally intended not merely
for clergymen, or as the means of obtaining an eccle-
siastical appointment, but to give those devotin, them-
selves wholly to study a means of livelihood,

THE POPE.

The Pope went en the 4th of November to the Church of
San Carlo, according to immemorial usage,and was received
at the door by Cardinal Borromeo, collateral descen-
dant of San Carlo Borromeo, to whom the church is
dedicated. A very large crowd assembled, the Queen of
Wurtemberg and the Grand Duchess being pre-
sent at the Mass, at which the Pope attended.
On leaving the Church the Pope was loudly cheered by
the crowd assembled on the Piazza and in the surrounding
balconies. The health of his Holiness continues good in
spite of his age and the fatigue he undergoes. On the Bth
of November he received a great number of persons both
in public and private audience. This will probably be the
last lay audience which he holds this year, as he will
henceforward be entirely occupied in receiving the ecclesia-
tical dignitaries coming for the Council.

"THE GREA 7' OXON SPEC."

At Chipping Norton yesterday, - before the borough
magistrates, Charles Pendleton, alias Oaxtus, proprietor
of the Oxfordshire Weekly News, was charged with keep-
ing open a lottery called "The Great Oxon Spec," and
having received a certain sum of money for tickets in
the lottery. There were six informations laid against
the defendant, and the hearing occupied five hours. The
" Great Oxon Spec." bus been carried on in reference
to all the chief race; and a large number of tickets sold to
parties at a distance, but it was alleged that no draw had
over taken place. Evidence having been given of defend-
ant's connection with the lottery, witnesses deposed that
they had purchased tickets, and one, who drew Pero
Pomez —the winning horse—said that defendant refused
to pay him. The magistrates fined defendant .£5O and all
expense; or, in default, three months' imprisonment.

The house of Grosvenor is determined to retain the

some member of the family since 1832: and the
Chester Liberals seem indisposed to seek novelty.
The council of the Liberal Association has unani-
mously decided to invite the lion. Norman Grosvenor
to become a candidate for the seat left vacant by Earl
Grosvenor's accession to the marquisate of West-
minster. The Ebury peerage was created in 1857,
and the present holder is a brother of the late. Ma-
rquis of Westminster. Norman, Lord Ebury's third
son, was born in 184.5. His eldest brother is the

PANIC IN PARIS.

It is hardly likely that the Ultra-Republicans of
Paris will succeed in bringing, about the revolution
which they so persistently threaten ; but that the
respectable classes of Paris are afraid of the Irrecon-
cileables, is pretty clear. The Times states on
" irrefragible evidence" that sensible persons in
considerable numbers are sending over large
sums of money to be invested in English
Consols, with a view to save something out of
the general wreck by which they expect society to
be overwhelmed in the deluge which presents itself
to their startled imagination as imminent. Surely a
few fanatical politicians can scarcely succeed in over-
throwing such a Government as that of the Second
Empire. But the Parisians have some ground En.
their fear. There are 150,000 "Barbarians" in the
capital, and Baron llaussmann cannot always keep
them employed.

AQUATICS.

DOUBLE-SCULLING RACE BETWEEN THE
THAMES AND TYNE.

We stated the probability of the Thames and Tyne
crews ratifying the rzreemeut already entered into
to row a pair-oared race, Kelley and Renforth each
respectively to find another man to row in the pro-
posed match. In accordance with this understand-
ing the Tyne crew invited that of the Thames to
meet them at Mr. W. Bla‘cey's, the Adelaide Hotel,
Nowgate-street, Newcastle, at noon on Thursday.
Kelley and his crow complied with the invitation, but un-
fortunately, owing to Taylor that morning having suf-
fered a domestic bereavement, the Tyne men were upwards
of half an hour late, and as the Thames crew had to get
back to Dunstou by a fixed time they had to leave, and the
meeting came to nothing. In the course of conversation
wiih Mr. Blakey, however, pending the arrival of the
Tyne men, it transpired that that) had been some miscon-
ception as to The terms of the match, Kelley contending
that he meant all along a double-scullers race, iyhereas
Renforth understood him to mean a pair-oared race. lien-
forth and Taylor, on their part, asserted when informed of
the fact that even then there should be no obstacle to the
match coining off, as they stated to us—and we have their
joint authority for saying so—that they would row any
two men of the Thames upon whatever terms the
latter had a mind to propose. The two crews met on
Friday afternoon at Mr. Blakey's, when, after some
slight discussion, it was ultimately arranged that Kelley
and Renforth should each select a man for their respective
crews, to row a Double Scullers Race, from the Old Man-
sion House to Scotawood Bridge, for £lOO a side. The
money was posted on the spot, Mr. Holland, pf the Can-
terbury Hall, staking the £lOO, which had been lodged
by Kelley iu his hands on the evening of the last match.
The proceeding from first to last passed off most satisfac-
torily, there being not a single unpleasant word on either
side to Mar the harmony of the meeting.

THE DALMATIAN INSURRECTION.

The North German Correspondent thinks that the insur-
rection in Dalmatia is a proof of the neglect with which
that province has been treated, and the hatred which the
culpable apathy has engendered. It shews that an Aus-
trian Cabinet pursuing an obstructive policy in the affairs
of Germany cannot fail to awaken disaffection at home
and compromise the interests of the empire. The North
German Correspondent declares that instead of resorting to
the old threadbare story of foreign instigation, the Aus-
trian journals would act more wisely in inquiring into
the grounds for dissatisfaction which exist in Dalmatia,
and in seeking to procure for that ill-used province a rea-
sonable autonomy, and the recognition by the State of the
language of the great majority of the people. The Cabinet
of Vienna has a great task and a grand opportunity before
it. It should not forget that there are in the Empire
fifteen millions of Slays, and but seven millions of Ger-
mans, who form in most of the provinces a decided mino-
rity. The attempts to recover for Austria the ground she
has lost in Germany are as vain and utopian as their reali-
sation would be disastrous to the prosperity and harmony
of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy.
The North-East Correspondent has received a despatch,
dated Trieste, November 10, which states that Abmet
Pacha, the commander of the regular Ottoman troops in
Herzegovina, has asked for reinforcements, because nume-
rous bands collected in Bosnia and Montenegro are pre-
paring to join the Dalmatian insurgents, and he wishes to
nrevent their passage.

FRIGHTFUL COLLIERY EXPLOSION.

The Western Mail publishes the following telegram,
dated Swansea, Thursday night :--- This morning, about
one o'clock, an explosion of fire-damp took place at
the Herdreforgan Colliery, Cwmtwrch, Swansea Valley.
Twelve men and boys were in the pit, six of
whom were killed. The names of those killed are
os follows :—William Hopkins, married, two children;
David Davies, single; Samuel Arthur, a boy ; David Jones,
a. boy ; Richard Nicholas, married, leavirg' five daughters ;
Thomas Jones, single. The bodies have not yet been re-
covered. The searchers were in the pit for four hours,
and were taken up in an exhausted condition. The
cause of the explosion is unknown. Many thousands of per-
sons visited the scene of the catastrophe during the day.
The pit has always borne the character of being exceedingly
well ventilated, the owners sparing no expense to ensure the
safety of the workmen. Great excitement prevails in the
vicinity of the explosion.

ELECTION NEWS.

The approaching contest for the county of Antrim
is justly regarded as of exceptional importance. It
is th a first appeal to an Irish constituency since the
passing of the Irish Church Act. Hence politicians
of both countries are interested in learning how
the current of popular feeling will turn in
this important northern county. The contest
being now confined to a candidate of each
party, the fight will be a fair trial of strength. The
Times correspondent remarks that though a little
while ago a Liberal would have had no chance, a
steady spirit of independence has been growing up.
The mass of the voters are no longer willing to sub-
mit to the arrogant dictation or more intolerable
indifference of a few influential personages,
who assume the right to dispose of the re-
presentation as they think proper, without even
going through the formality of consulting the
electors. In former years this was the usual course,
and few had the courage to complain; but with the
extension of democratic power there is an increasing
reluctance to be ignored in the selection of candidates,
and to be required to accept, with professions of
thankfulness, the nominee of some powerful landed
proprietor or his more powerful agent.
Mr. Traill, the London Scotsman announces, will
not yet resign his seat for Caithness. This old and
tried member was anxious to retire at the last elec-
tion, but consented to be put in nomination on the
understanding that he would only occcupy his seat
temporarily. He has, however, been persuaded to
retain his place over the recess; and he may repre-
sent the extreme north of Britain during another
session.

A NEW PEER.

According to the London correspondent of the
Leeds Mercury, it is now definitely settled that Mr.
Chichcst,r Fortescne will be raised to the peerage
during the recess, and that he will immediately
succeed Earl Spencer in the Lord-Lieutenancy of
Ireland. The reason given for this change is
that the Countess is extremely anxious to lay
clown the duties imposed upon her by her husband's
present position. On the other hand, it is stated
that Countess Frances Waldegrave, whose enter-
tainments were so splendid when her husband last
held the post of Chief Secretary for Ireland, declined
to go to Ireland again as the Chief Secretary's wife.
She will, of course, have no objection to taking her
place at the head of the Viceregal Court; and there
is no reason to fear that the renewed splendours of
that Court will suffer any diminution during her
husband's term of office.
London, England, 1869-08-09

A LUNATIC CHAINED TO A WALL FOR
SIXTY YEARS.

A shocking case of cruelty to, and detention of, a
lunatic has just been brought to light in Leicestershire.
It appears to have been known that a lunatic named John
Bagley Wylde, a relative of the late Mr. Wylde, a magis-
trate, of Costock, near Nottingham, had for some years
past been in the care of a small farmer named Henry
Black, who occupied a farm at Sheepshed, near Lough-
borough, Leicestershire ; but the circumstance and other
facts connected with his incarceration were not brought to the
knowledge of the chief constable until a few days ago.
The latter communicated with the Commissioners in
Lunacy, and a commissioner, Dr. Buck, of the Leicester
and Rutland &Jaunty Lunatic Asylum, Mr. E. Warner,
J.P., and Superintendent Hague paid a visit to Mr.
Black's farm-house at Sheepshed. On entering the living-
room a sad scene presented itself. Seated on, and chained
to, a chair icy his wrists was a poor idiotic man, 74
years of age. Ifis legs were also secured by manacles, and
the chair was in turn chained to the wall. This posi•
Von he occupied all day, even when partaking of his
meals. Visiting his bedroom, the gentlemen found that
at night he was subjected to similar cruclty. There were
leg-irons at the foot of the bed, and it seemed that at night
irons also encircled his legs and wrists. The wretched man,
however, is said to have been treated kindly in other
respects, and his well-nourished, healthy, and perfectly
clean form shewed that he had been well attended to.
In answer to inquiries, Black stated that the roan had bee
insane since he was 14 years of age ; that he had been in
his custody, as found, for the past thirty years, and that
for thirty years previously he had been in charge of
another custodian and chained in the way described.
Black also stated that he received £1 a week for the main-
tenance of his charge. From the appearance of Wylde it
seemed as if his conSnement, with all its dreadful accom-
paniments, for so long a period had lost its terrors for
him ; for when released from his chains he exhibited no
signs of joy whatever. Information was at once laid
against Black for not having taken proper care
of Wylde, and the same day he appeared before Mr.
Warner and Mr. Johnson, two magistrates of the Lough-
borough bench, to answer to it. The result was that
Wylde was at once removed to the Leicester and Rutland
Asylum at Leicester, where he is to remain for the pre-
sent in the charge of Dr. Buck. As to Black, no further
proceedings have as yet been taken against him, but a full
inquiry is expected to take place.
