E3IIGR ANTS.

A correspondent recommends Jamaica as the rifht
Place for emilzrants. Canada, Australia, and New
Zealand are all -very well; but the place where an
industrious man can earn a competency in the
shortest time is Jamaica. The productions of the
country are infinitely varied, water is abundant, and
the roads good. An agriculturist, says this writer,
must succeed, and tradesmen—especially masons,
carpenters, coopers, and smiths—can always find
work at remunerative rates.

OBITUARY.

Lord Foley died at Paris on Saturday morning.
He was the fourth holder of the title, was born in
1808, succeeded to the peerage in 1833, and in 1849
married Lady Mary Howard, eldest daughter of the
sixteenth Duke of Norfolk. Previously to entering
the Upper House, Lord Foley represented Worcester-
shire, and voted in favour of the first Reform Bill.
Earl Grey gave him the courtly appointment of
captain of the Hon. Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms, an
(Ace. he has held throughout every succeeding
Liberal Administration. He was also one of the
Liberal tellers in the House of Lords.

FOREIGN NOTES.

INDIAN RETRENCIIMAT.

The Government of India has resolved, in view
of the state of the finances, to make a large reduction in
the police charges. The office of deputy-inspector-general
is to be abolished, which will entail the saving of three
lakhs of rupees by annulling fifteen appointments. The
services of 107 assistant district superintendents can also,
it is believed, be dispensed with at a saving of five lakhs.
His Excellency considers that yet further reductions may
be made when the local Governments have been referred to.
The Governor-General has given up his private patronage
until the officers thus thrown out of employment and
reported fit for other duties, are provided for.

THE HEAD MASTERSHIP OF RUGBY SCHOOL.

The new Head Master of Rugby, the successor to
Dr. Temple, is the Rev. Henry Hayman, B.D. The
newly-appointed master is a comparatively young
man. His present position is that of Head Master of
St. Andrew's College, Bradfield. He has been
head master of Queen Elizabeth's Free Grammar
School, Southwark, and of the Grammar School at
Cheltenham. He has also been an assistant preacher
at the Temple Church. Amongst his published
works are some Latin and Greek translation exercises,
and a letter to Dean Mansel, condemning the Public
Schools Latin Primer. Mr. Hayman obtained his
M.A. degree in 1851.

TIPPERARY.

The chance of Mr. Heron securing a walk-over is
the only question involved in the Tipperary election.
There has been a good deal of talk about a bond fide
Fenian candidate, but the " national " press is not
earnest or unanimous in advocating, the chosen man—
O'Donovan Rossa. Moreover, says the Tiniescorrespon-
dent, it "will be hard to persuade the shrewd and sturdy
farmers of the county to prefer the shadow to the
substance and have a mock election of O'Donovan.
who can do nothing for himself or them, instead of
returning a trusty champion who can serve all parties
and advocate the cause of the prisoners with the
advantage of personal knowledge.' Mr. Heron pro-
mina all that the farmers desire, except insurrection.

ANNEXATION OF BRITISH COL UMBRIA

TO CANADA.

An important despatch from Earl Granville is published
in a series of official papers on the subject of annexing
British Columbia to Canada. This State paper is dated
August 14. Earl Granville says that the prevailing
opinion in the colony seems in favour of union, and such
also is the conviction of her Majesty's Government :
° They believe that a Legislature selected from an extended
area, and representing a diversity of interests, is likely to
deal more comprehensively with large questions, more im-
partially with small questions, and more conclusively with
both, than is possible when controversies are carried on and
decided upon in the comparatively narrow circle in which
they arise. Questions of purely local interest will be more
carefully and dispassionately considered when disengaged
from the larger politics of the country, and at the same
time will be more sagaciously considered by persons who
have had this larger political education. Finally, they
anticipate that the interest of every province of British
North America will be more advanced by enabling the
wealth, credit, and intelligence of the whole to be brought
to bear on every part, than by encouraging each in the
contracted policy of taking care of itself, possibly at the
expense of its neighbour. Most especially is this true in
thd case of internal transit. It is evident that the esta-
blishment of a British line of communication between the
Atlantic and Pacific Oceans is far more feasible by the
operations of a single Government responsible for the pro-
gress of both shores of the Continent, than by a bargain
negotiated between separate—perhaps in some respects
rival—Governments and Legislatures. The San Francisco
of British North America would,under these circumstances,
hold a greater commercial and political position than would
be attainable by the capital of the isolated colony of British
Columbia. Her Majesty's Government are aware that the
distance between Ottawa and Victoria presents a real diffi-
culty in the way of immediate union. But that very diffi-
culty will not be without its advantage if it renders easy
communication indispensable, and forces onwards the opera-
tionswhich are to complete it. In any case it is an understood
inconvenience, and a diminishing one, and it appears far
better to accept it as a temporary drawback on the advan-
tages of union, than to wait for those obstacles, often more
intractable, which are sure to spring up after a neglected
opportunity." Earl Granville adds that, as the connection
of England with British Columbia is closer than with any
other part of North America, Her Majesty's Government
have thought it fitting to give a more unreserved expression
of their wishes and judgment.

THE FRENCH TREATY.

It is thought probable that tho Board of Trade
will make an inquiry into the operation of the treaty
of commerce with France. The varied statements
which have been published render it' advisable that
the real facts should be known, and tho Board of
Trade will get at the truth more rapidly and con-
veniently than a Royal Commission.

A PUBLIC PROSECUTOR 'WANTED.
Facts are so continually pointing with stern logic
to the necessity for a public prosecutor that it seems
really surprising that the appointment of such a
functionary is still (apparently) far off. The other
day, at Wolverhampton, when a woman, who was
also a wife, charged her paramour, who was not her
hasband, with stealing money from her, she was told
she had no remedy, though the wrong was clear
enough. Nobody else, of course, would undertake
the prosecution. Now another case has come under
notice. One Taylor has just passed through the Bir-
mingham Bankruptcy Court. In so doing he has
rid himself of a debt of £3,600. £OOO of this
money is bond Jide debt. Tho rest, however,
was embezzled from the Victoria Freehold Land
and Building Society. That society stopped
payment a short time since. Taylor's embezzlement
was discovered. An application-was made to Chan-
cery to authorise Taylor's prosecution out of the
society's funds—or rather out of its debts, for it
owed much more than it possessed. The application
was refused ; Taylor goes scot-free ; the
£3,000 had to be written down as a,
debt against him ; and in satisfaction of it
he applies to be released from it by the Bank-
ruptcy Court. The commissioner before whom the
case comes is indignant at the state
And of the law, but is
obliged to accede to the application. we still go
on without a public prosecutor !

THE OVERLAND MAIL BY BRINDISI.

A correspondent of the Times makes the following
remarks on the Overland mail by Brindisi as compared
with the Marseilles route. They correspond exactly
with
important
conclusions we have previously published on
this subject :—" The Brindisi route already
presents a clear advantage of twenty-four hours, not-
withstanding the hindrances purposely throwninto the way of i'os success by the slow rate of
railway travelling between Macon and St. Michel do
Maurienne, on the French side of the Alps. Another
immense disadvantage against which the Brindisi
route has to contend is the breach of continuity in
the transmission of the London evening mail, which
is kept waiting in Paris for the whole period of four-
teen hours, owing to the jealousy of the French rail-
way and steam navigation companies—a jealousy
which all the' exertions of our Post Office authorities
have not yet been able to overcome." Were the French
Government and railway companies to act justly and
reasonably in this matter, the Brindisi route would
offer an advantage of 18 hours in addition to the 24
which it already presents in spite of unfair ODPO-
Eition.

QUEEN'S COUNTY.

The Liberals of Queen's County have eligible offers
in the shape of Mr. Fitzgerald or Mr. Edmund Dease;
but they require some well-advanced tenant-righter.
It is thought probable that they will find one in the
person of Sir D. Corrigan, whose Dublin
speeches prove him to be quite "up to
the mark" on the land question. Mr. Pease,
however, will contest the seat ; at least he has
commenced his canvass and issued his address. The
latter is an ingenious document. Mr. Dense goes in
for the support of the Radicals on the one hand by
promising the Ballot, and for the Catholics on the
other by pledging himself to denominational
education. As to the land, he is prepared
to " support Mr. Gladstone in the passing of
any measure of tenant-right which, having its
foundation based on justice, will render the occupier
as secure on his property as the owner is on the soil."
This declaration has given rise to the jocose comment
that the tenant-righters will be very uncomfortable
if the occupier is not more secure than the owner is
at present. Perhaps the passage is meant only as an
elegant periphrasis for the common term "fixity of
tenure."

THE HEALTH OF MR. JUSTICE HATES.-otl
inquiry at the Westminster Palace Hotel, this forenoon,
we were informed that Mr. Justice Hayes remained in a,
state of unconsciousness, and was in a sinking condition.
Ho is suffering from an attack of paralysis, and little hopes
are entertained of his recovery.
Koopmanschap, the coolie contractor, has re-
turned to San Francisco, and is about to send one hundred
Chinamen to work on the Memphis and El Paso Railroad.
The directors of that railroad deny that they ever asked.
Congress for anything more than the right of way through
the national domain. The work of the railroad is to be
vigorously pushed towards completion, and there will be
no lack of hands, if what Koopmanschap says be true,
that there are 3,000 Chinamen in California out of employ-
ment, and that more are returning to China at present
than are coming to America, owing to the approaching
national holiday in the Empire.

THE LAW OF DISTRIBUTION.

The Court Journal gave the law of entail credit tr
being less unequal in operation than it really is. It
first stated that whilst Earl Grosvenor, the eldest son
of the late Marquis of Westminster, succeeded to his
father's title and the bulk of his vast property, Lord
Richard Grosvenor, the second son, was left only the
comparatively ridiculous fortune of £2,000 a year.
The Court Journal afterwards corrected this state-
ment, affirming that Lord Richard inherits £%20,000
a year. But it would appear that the first announce-
ment was right. £2,000 a year, according to the latest
affirmation, is the second son's allowance. The wonder
is that he was not sent to tho worlihJuse.

THE FAILURE OF COLUMBIA MARKET.

A very few months ago, with a grand flourish of
:rumpets, amid universal congratulation and general
rejoicings, a new market, designed to supersede the
gutter-shops of the costermongers, was opened by
Miss Burdett Coutts in Bethnal-green. Here cheap
and good food was to be obtained by the poor,
instead of the miserable stuff given from the street
barrows. "No more stale veget-tbles !" "No more
short weight !" were the cries. All who took an
interest in the establishment of this beautiful institu-
tion will much regret to learn that Miss Coutts's
munificence has been thrown away. Columbia
Market, Bethnal-green, has failed hopelessly. While
the costermongers are still carrying on a thriving trade,
the dealers inside the market have waited for cus-
tomers so long that they have become impatient ;
and the majority of them have gone away. The great
mistake made by the committee of the establishment
seems to have been the refusal to admit costermon-
gers except at a prohibitive toll. The customers,
finding no bustle or excitement, no sacrificing offers,
went where these incentives to trade could be
obtained, and left Columbia Market to fail for want
of funds.

Captain Slierard Osborn supports the general
testimony respecting the success of the Suez Canal.
The Hawk, belonging to the Telegraph Construction
Company, accompanied the fleet from Port Said to
Suez, and made a most successful passage. Vessels
drawing seventeen feet of water, it is announced, will
easily pass. This precisely accords with the account
given by our special correspondent. The Times cor-
respondent, on the other hand, gives less favourable
testimony respecting the depth of the Canal. Ile
adds that the banks are much damaged.

SOUTRIVAILK.

A somewhat noisy meeting of working men has
been held in Southwark, under the auspices of the
Labour Representation League, to consider the pro-
priety of bringing forward an artisan candidate for
the borough. That such a candidate there ought to
be the meeting had no doubt whatever. Who was
to be the choosen working man gave rise, however,
to some little difficulty; but ultimately Mr. Odger
obtained the preference over Mr. Bradlaugh, and was
selected as the fit and proper representative.

THE ONLY SOLUTION OF THE LAND DIFFICULTY.

Mr. C. Buxton, M.P., crosses the Rubicon of the
land question. The time for settling the difficulty by
any measure merely prescribing compensation for
improvements has, he says, gone by; to give
security by law is the only feasible and the
only wise mode of appeasing Irish discontent.
Three schemes have been put forward for establish-
ing this security of tenure. Mr. Caird advocates that
the State should not enforce security, but should
hold out strong inducements to the landlords to grant
it of their own freewill. Mr. Buxton holds, first, that
this concession would never satisfy the Irish ; and,
secondly, that to act on landlords by indirect modes
of compulsion would be hardly fair. The second
scheme consists in legalising the custom of Ulster for
the whole country. Mr. Buxton, however, regards
this as impracticable. To enforce the Ulster custom
would, in fact, be confiscation of the landlord's pro-
perty. The Ulster custom having been established
by force of law, henceforth the landlord will be com-
pelled to acquiesce in the payment, by all future
incoming tenants (or by himself), to the outgoing
tenant of a sum to be fixed by valuation, for the occu-
pation right. Now, as the produce of a farm is divided
between the landlord and the tenant, it is clear that
the interest on the sums paid for occupation rent will
be so much deducted from the share of either the
landlord or the tenant. Unless, therefore, the
farmer's subsistence be curtailed, the land will be
saddled with a tax laid upon it, being the interest of
the capital sum paid down by the next tenants to
those who have the rare luck to be in possession in
the year 1870. The third plan of settlement is the one
proposed by -Mr. Butt that the law should cease to
recognise tenancy-at-will for Irish farms (except
possibly in very minute holdings), and should act on
the presumption that every tenancy is for a period
long enough to give the tenant the opportunity of
developing all the resources of the farm, and to com-
pensate him for the whole of his outlay and labour.
This scheme is most favoured by Mr. Buxton, but he
reserves his reasons.

The home at Great Portland-street is for young fallen
girls from 10 to 16. The committee are deeply anxious to
open another house for this pitiable class.
The Society admitted to its homes last year 687 young
women and girls. It was compelled to refuse 524 appli-
cants, whose histories are recorded in the applicant's book.

never read a report of any charitable institution which so
entirely commended itself to my mind and awoke my
sympathy") may be had on application.
The Society is under the presidency of the Earl of
Shaftesbury. Its banters are Messrs. Barclay and Co.

Tho directors draw special attention to the fact that the
next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year
1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales prior
to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate
in the same.
The directors also draw attention to the successful esta-
blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire
Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc-
tors believe that the establishment of a Firo Company, to
work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much
to the advantage and profit of both institutions. It is
scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and
constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.

passing the higher standard examination in the native

THE PLAGUE OF LOCUSTS.

Locusts are still doing great damage to the crops in
India, and the flights are visiting many unexpected places.
The political agent for Mahee Kanta reports that young
locusts are now being hatched in that district from the
eggs left in August, and are destroying the crops of Vajrce.
The natives are afraid to kill them, believing that by so
doing they would incur the displeasure of the " roatajeen
(goddess) who would send a hundred for each one they
kill. But for this prejudice the numbers might have been
greatly reduced.

OUTRAGE ON A BRITISH SUBJECT.

Mr. Koppers, an ex-correspondent of the New York.
Herald, was arrested and subsequently expelled from
Cuba. The Spanish officials acted with great harshness,
and kept Mr. Koppers in solitary confinement for ten days,
denying him the privilege of making known his situation
to the English or American Consuls. They acted under
the belief that he was the author of some letters which
appeared in the Herald. Mr. Koppers is a British subject,
and has entered a protest against this treatment. lle has
placed his complaint in the hands of tho British Consul in
Havana, who has forwarded it to Lord Clarendon.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

BASE INGRATITUDE.—Margaret Duggin, a young
woman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing
at No. 12, Redden-street, Regent-street, some wearing
apparel, &c., of the value of £2, the property of Mrs. Mary
Aun Hand, a tailoress.
From the evidence it appeared that the prosecutrix
bad treated the prisoner with great kindness, allowing her
to lodge her with her, as she had no home of her own, and
the return she made for it was to rob the prosecutrix of a
quantity of her wearing apparel, and there is every reason
to believe that she also robbed a little girl staying with
the prosecutrix of all her clothing and her boots while she
was asleep in bed. Last night she was taken into cus-
tody by Moore, No. 74 11, as she was leaving the
Victoria Theatre, the officer having previously seen her
in company of two men, one of whom had been convicted.
Mr Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner that the police
might have an opportunity of recovering some of the pro-
pel ty.
WILFUL DAMAGE.— Joseph usher, a surgical instrument
maker, Henry-street, Hampstead-road, was committed for
trial for wilfully breaking a pauo of glass of the value of
£l2, the property of Mr. Robert Wilson, of the Talbot
Tavern, Tottenham-court-road.

A SCHISM AMONG THE MORMONS

News from the Salt Lake indicates that the Mormons are
getting into difficulties. A proposition to open up the
mining regions, and favour the immigration of capitalists,
offended Brigham. He, therefore, soon after announced
that he had a revelation directing him to draw $25,000,000
now deposited in the Bank of England, and to remove to
the Sandwich Islands with it. However, his people were
not at all disposed to accept this notion, and he has given
up the idea. The railroad connecting Salt Lake City with
the Pacific Railroad will be completed, it is thought, about
the New Year, and may possibly exercise some influence on
the territory. '

THAMES.

ORGAN GRINDING.— Cannicate Giovanni, aged 38 years,
who was described in the police-sheet as an "organ
grinder," was charged by a gentleman residing in Coborn-
street, Bow, with grinding an organ opposite his house at
half-past 8 o'clock last night, and disturbing his children,
who had gone to bed.
Mr. Benson said it was bad enough for those who did
not like organ music or organ noises to have their ears
assailed in the day time with tunes a dozen times repeated,
but it was still worse to disturb children after thy had
gone to bed. The prisoner was bound to leave the street
when requested to do so, and it was not every one who
liked organ-grinding. He fined the prisoner 55., which
was paid,
A SUICIDAL FAMILY.—Angus Campbell, aged 14 years,
whose late father of the same name shot himself, about 12
months ago, was brought up on remand before Mr. Ben-
son, chargod with attempting to destroy himself by
swallowing a large quantity of laudanum.
Mr. Benson said the prisoner had been a week in the
House of Detention, and the Chaplain had written to him
saying the lad was penitent, and was sorry for tho rash
and wicked act he had committed. The prisoner was a
sharp and intelligent lad, and by industry and persever-
ance would most undoubtedly succeed and obtain a re-
spectable living. A gentleman in the neighbourhood of
Spring-gardens, Charing-cross, had kindly promised to
assist the prisoner, and if he would call upon that gentle-
man it would be of advantage to him. He then discharged

the prisoner.
NARROW ESCAPE OF A DRUNKEN CAB lAN.—Anthony
Cooper, a cab driver, was charged with being drunk and
incapable of taking care of himself and his horse and cab.
A policeman found the prisoner lying down in the
Whitechapel-roadjelead drunk, and with the near wheel
resting on his shoulder. A man was about to start the
horse, when a police-constable stopped him, and called out
"Leave the horse alone or you will kill the driver," who
was picked up and carried to the London Hospital. The
surgeons then dressed poor cabby's shoulder, said ho was
not much hurt, and dismissed him.
The prisoner said ho felt giddy and fell off the box.
Mr. Benson—You had been drinking heavily.
The prisoner—Only two glasses of hot ruin and water
which a fare gave me.
Mr. Benson wished people who rode in cabs would not
give the drivers liquor. The prisoner's fate had nearly
prevented him coming to the police-court at all, and he
was afraid he was not a steady or sober man, for he had
often changed his employers. He fined the prisoner 58.,
which his master paid for him.
