THE O'SU.,

OSECUTION.

ArtichiA in the -"national" journals of Dublin defend the
Mayor of COrk in vehement terms. The News affirms that
in his person "the last and most sacred vestige of popular
liberty in Ireland is being struck down," and speaks of tho
Disability Bill as "another of those invasions of popular
rights which mark in dark repulsive lines the course of
British rule in Ireland." "We see nothing in Mr.
O'Sullivan's words," it adds, "calling for censure or repro-
bation ; we cannot for the life of us see anything in the re-
motest degree savouring of culpability' in the expression of
an opinion that the miserable man who attempted the life of
the Duke of Edinburgh in New South Wales might have had
his moral perceptions so perverted as to believe he was doing
a praireworthy and justifiable act." The News " 10,,ks to
the citizens of Cork for a firm and strong pronouncement
of public opinnion" against an act on which the boldest of
continental despots would hardly venture. The Irishman is of
opinion that the mayor is Leing condemned " in the frenzy
of a puerile panic," on an abstract question of politics,
a topic of metaphysical inquiry." " Aro we to tole-
rate," continues the writer, " that bills of pains and
penalties—a new penal law—shall be passed without pro-
test ? Twice fifty thousand Corkmen and a hundred times
fifty thousand Irishmen declare that first they shall know
the reason why." The indictment, the 12-ishman adds, will
become "a certificate of honour to the Mayor of Cork." It
complains that " a swarm of ascendency offenders, of far
deeper dye," aro alluwed to go scot free. The Nation as-
serts that " this man of the people" " is grasped for ven-
geance by a Power that never spared man of his name that
dared to cross its path. Be it so. He will confront despotic
oppression with calm and resolute defiance. The English
Government have this week conferred on him an honour to
which no Irishman has attained for centuries." The Flag
of Ireland believes that the mayor "may well rest content
with the ovation he has received from his fellow-citizens."
"No emphatic condemnation was passed"in England "upon
the killing of Count Rossi, the Premier of the Pope. We
do not justify anything like assassination, but will some one
tell us why, after such an historical instance, there is such
an outcry against the qualified statements of the Mayor of
Cork ?"

A telegram from Cork says that on Saturday the mayor
held a court at the bridewell, and discharged all the pri-
soners, seven in number. He has " effectually superseded "
the magistrates.

The Mayor of Cork has disappointed his friends, who ex-
pected him to come forward as a candidate for the vacancy
in the representation of Youghal. The Hon. Mr. Guest and
Mr. Charles Greene only were nominated, and the show of
hands was declared to be in favour of Mr. Guest. The poll
is fixed for Monday next. There was great rioting at the
nomination.

The question 14 Have lords of the manor the right
of disposing of and building on commons ? " is
attracting a large amount of attention just
now, and it is tindonbtedly a most important one.
It is not a little singular that two cases, either of
which would have settled the point, have been
delayed by death. The demise of Sir Thomas
Maryon Wilson has put off for a time the
decision as to whether he was entitled to
build on Hampstead Heath; Lord Brownlow's
death recently has almost stopped the case as to
Berkhampstead t)ommon from coming before the
courts at all. But both these matters are likely to
be decided ere long. , , Meanwhile the rights of the
lord of the manor of Chobham Common have been
defined by the County Court judge of Chertsey. He
has laid it down that a road across a common may
not be stopped. It is a right of way over which a
lord of the manor has no control. But the lord may
grant for enclosure any or all parts of the land. The
practical effect of this will be to make many commons
privateproperty. Should this position be strengthened
by the higher court, it would be wise for the
inhabitants of large towns to make agreements which
should make their rights indefeasible.

CRIME IN IRELAND.

Mr. C. FORTESCUE, in reply to Lord JOHN MANNERS,
said there was no possible effort or exertion that was nut
being taken to put down the shocking state of things th,i
disgraced certain parts of Ireland. With respect to legis-
lative measures, the subject was surrounded with enormous
difficub les, arising principally from the difficulty of procur-
ing the evidanue to insure a conviction. He could assure
the noble lord the Government were using every means in
their power to meet the evil, and, amongst other things,
they were considering the best mode of rendering t:ie
power of the Lord-Lieutenant more extensive aud
effectual.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply to
Mr. Miller, said he had discovered the memorial to which
reference bad been made the other evening. it had be •ti
sent by mistake to the inland Revenue Ofiioe. With I
spect to its prayer, altering the day for collecting the tax,
there would Le great inconvenience if the day original:),
fixed was altered, and on the other hand it was said gr.,t
inconvenience would arise if it was not altered. However,
it seemed to him that the lesser inconvenience would ue
caused if the original arrangement was adhered to, und
therefore he thought it best to let matters remain as tboy
stood.

Lieutenant-Colonel Martindale, RE., will, accord-
ing to the Broad Arrow, on his arrival in Canada,
carry out the new control arrangements in that
country. He will begin by making a thorough
investigation of all matters involving expenditure
on the part of the Government. The barrack
department will be abolished. All military work will
be carried out by military artisans instead of
by civilians as heretofore.—The Army and
Navy Gazette gays that the Royal Naval Reserve
is becoming a great fact. One thousand eight hun-
dred men have volunteered to proceed on the Whit-
suntide cruise, and the Lords of the Admiralty have
been quite surprised at the enthusiastic manner in
which their invitation has been accepted.—The
United Service Gazette understands that recent inves-
tigations into the management of Admiralty con-
tracts have afforded very serious grounds for further
inquiry.—The same paper states that Rear-Admiral
Astley Cooper Key will succeed Rear-Admiral
Wellesley as superintendent of Portsmouth Dock-
yard, should the latter officer be appointed to the

THE ENCLOSURE OF COMMONS.

The question " Have lords of the manor the right
of disposing of and building on commons ? " is
attracting a large amount of attention _ just
now, and it is undoubtedly a most important one.
It is not a little singular that two cases, either of
which would have settled the point, have been
delayed by death. The demise of Sir Thomas
Maryon Wilson has put off for a time the
decision as to whether he was entitled to
build on Hampstead Heath; Lord Brownlow's
death recently has almost stopped the case as to
Berkhampstead Common from coming before the
courts at all. But both these matters are likely to
be decided ere long. , Meanwhile the rights of the
lord of the manor of Chobham Common have been
defined by the County Court judge of Chertsey. He
has laid it down that a road across a common may
not be stopped. It is a right of way over which a
lord of the manor has no control. But the lord may
grant for enclosure any or all parts of the land. The
practical effect of this will be to make many commons
private property. Should this position be strengthened
by the higher court, it would be wise for the
inhabitants of large towns to make agreements which
should make their rights indefeasible.

The Endowed Schools Bill was referred to a select
committee of the House of- Commons, and it is
expected to report before the Whitsun holidays.
The John Bull understands that the bill has been
" considerably improved." That is a matter of
opinion, especially when we have our contemporary's
account of the improvements. We are told, among
other things, that ancient doles cannot be diverted
from their original destination without the consent
of the governors. The period during which endow-
ments are to be considered " safe " is extended from
thirty to fifty years—a change of comparatively
small importance. Should the House consent to the
bill being divided, Mr. Forster is Linguine that
legislation may take place this year.

THE MONEY MARKET.
The Ecanoinist has no doubt that the 13ank will
soon find it necessary to raise the Bank rate again.
The savings of the country have been small ; setting
losses against gains perhaps they have been nil.
These unincreased savings have been exposed to an
increased demand—one• for investment in foreign
stocks, and another, more recent, for an augmenta-
tion in domestic trade. Cheap corn has caused the
last, and the necessity of doing something with one's
money ' has caused the first. The effect of both has
been to entrench on the very small spare capital, and
to raise the value of money from 3 to 4t." The end
is not yet. We must look for a 6 per cent. rate very
shortly.

moments of the poor lady more and more alarming.

THE ENDOWED SCHOOLS BILL.

The Endowed Schools Bill was referred to a select
committee of the House of Commons, and it is
expected to report before the Whitsun holidays.
The John Bull understands that the bill has been
" considerably improved." That is a matter of
opinion' especially when we have our contemporary's
account of the improvements. We are told, among
other things, that ancient doles cannot be diverted
from their original destination without the consent
of the governors. The period during which endow-
ments are to be considered " safe" is extended from
thirty to fifty years—a change of comparatively
small importance.

THE MONEY MARKET.
The Economist has no doubt that the Bank will
soon find it necessary to raise the Bank rate again.
The savings of the country have been small ; setting
losses against gains perhaps they have been nil.
" These unincreased savings have been exposed to an
increased demand—one for investment in foreign
stocks, and another, more recent, for an augmenta-
tion in domestic trade. Cheap corn has caused the
last, and the necessity of ' doing something with ones
money' has caused the first. The effect of both has
been to entrench on the very small spare capital, and
to raise the value of money from 3to 4i." The end
is not yet. We must look for a 5 per cent, rate very
shortly.

Amongst the many great qualities by which Mazzint
has attracted a party to himself in Italy, courage of the
highest order is undoubtedly one. The Rome correspon-
dentnf the Tablet says that all attempts to arrest the
revolutionary leader have been baffled by his wonderful,
coolness. One instance is particularly striking. A,
riedmontese police-officer was sent in command of a
section of police in Charles Albert's time to arrest him, and
every indication of the house wasgiven. He was known to,
be in it, and it was so surrounded that there was no.
escape. The police entered, and on asking the old woman
who opened the door where her master was, she said he
was in the study, writing. They went all over the house,
and found paper and pens, and the ink wet on a freshly.
written sheet, but no Mazzini. At last they withdrew.
Three days later they knew that Mazzini
as his own housekeeper, had opened the door? In the
year of Aspromonte he passed twice through Ancona,
disguised as a Franciscan going and returning from the
Holy Land, and he has been in Florence, there is little
doubt, within the last two years.

MTLITABS AND NAVAL ITEMS.

Lieutenant-Colonel Martindale, R.E., will, accord-
ing to the Broad Arrow, on his arrival in Canada,
carry out the new control arrangements in that
country. He will begin by making a thorough
investigation of all matters involving expenditure
on the part of the Government. The barrack
department will be abolished. All military work will
be carried out by military artisans instead of
by civilians as heretofore.--The Army and
Navy Gazette says that the Royal Naval Reserve
is becoming- a great fact. One thousand eight hun-
dred men have volunteered to proceed on the Whit-
suntide cruise, and the Lords of the Admiralty have
been quite surprised at the enthusiastic manner in
which their invitation has been accepted.—The
United Service Gazette understands that recent inves-

tigations into the management of Admiralty con-
tracts have afforded very serious grounds for further
inquiry.—The same paper states that Rear-Admiral
Astley Cooper Key will succeed Rear-Admiral
Wellesley as superintendent of Portsmouth Dock-
yard, should the latter officer be appointed to the
command in North America.

HUNGARY.

The Hungarian kingdom has made great progress,
political and social, during the last three years ; but one
thing seems to have been wanting to complete the happi•
ness of the Magyars—a State lottery. This has just been
provided by an Imperial decree, which attaches only the
condition that the net produce of the first drawing shall
be devoted to the purchase of objects necessary to primary
instruction in village schools. An express provision is
made that in the distribution no account is to be taken o
the nationality or creed of the pupils.

REPUBLICANIS3I RouArANTA.

The agitation of the Mazzinians has not been confined
to Italy alone. A letter from Bucharest, in the Debats,
says it is certain that the most fanatical of the Italian
revolutionists kept up intimate relations with those of the
Balkan region. Last year a project was formed to esta-
blish a regular Mazzinian colony at Bucharest, to serve
as headquarters for insurrectional attempts throughout the
North of the Turkish dominions. The scheme was
supported by Bratiano, late the Prime Minister of
Roumania, and it was frustrated by his sudden removal
from power. Proclamations urging the people of the
East, Roumanians, Servians, Bulgarians, Ste., to 'rise
against the Porte emanated from Mazzini, and bore his sig.
nature. So long as Bratiano and his friends remained in
power, they not only covered these proceedings with their
name and their authority, but they even lent their direct
assistance. The present Ministry is strongly opposed
to all agitation.

FRENCH. AND BRiIPISH SHIPPING.

Mr. BRIGHT, in reply to Mr. Candlish, said it was
true certain distinctions were at present made with respect
to the payment of pilotage dues, but it was proposed on
the Merchant Shipping Act to consider the subject with'.
a view of ascertaining whether the distinction cannot be
removed.

THE CASE OF MR. GREEN.

Mr. MONSELL said the matter relative to Kr. Green,
who had been colonial chaplain for many years, Dr.
Colenso, and Dr. Gray, being in a very complicated state,
the noble lord at the head of the Colonial Department
would consult the law officers of the Crown before tali:ins
steps in the matter.
THE PATRIOTIC FUND.

Mr. CARDWELL said the patriotic fund commissioners
reported through the Secretary for War, and when their
report of the matters they had been investigating
was complete, it would, of course, be sent to the
Secretary for War, and he would at once products
it if it was requisite. With respect to the defalcation,
which amount9d to between £2OO andX23o, directions
had been given to prosecute the clerk who was chargel
with the defalcation.

THE EDMUNDS' SCANDAL.
Mr. AYRTON, in reply to Mr. Bentinck, said that Mr.
Edmunds had transmited a book purporting to be a history
of the Edmunds' scandal to the Treasury, with a desire
that the document might be recorded, but the Treasut
was not the department charged with the duty of record-
ing. If Mr. Edmunds desired to have his history record. d
he had better find out souse other channel than the Trem
ry
su.
Mr. BENTINCK, gave notice of his intention on an early
day of calling attention to the subject, and concluding his
statement with a motion.

Early in the present century a fund of several
thousand pounds was formed to support a minister who
should conduct divine service in Gaelic at a chapel in
Hatton-garden, London. The first incumbent, who
did not have the Gaelic, was the famous Edward
Irving, who, however, offered to go to Inverness-
shire and learn it, if necessary. At the time of the
disruption the Gaelic preacher, a Mr. Lees, who was
also secretary to the Caledonian Asylum, got a pre-
sentation to a Highland parish, and, in the dearth
of Gaelic-speaking clergymen at that time, no
substitute was forthcoming. After a year or two an
application was made to the Lord Chancellor, in
whom the fund was vested, to transfer the interest
thereof to the Caledonian Asylum, which was done,
and this really valuable charity has ever since received
it. But the revival in favour of the ancient language
of the Highlands, which has been so marked a
feature of An lo-Scotticism of late years, has stimu-
lated an inquiry into the possibility of restoring the
fund to its original purpose. Counsel's opinion is
favourable to the restoration, and the matter is likely
to be heard of in a court of law.
CHURCH NEWS.

The John Bull states that at the meeting of
bishops which took place at Lambeth Palace on
Ascension Day the Irish Church Bill was the promi-
nent subject of discussion. " Every bishop remained
distinctly unfettered as to the course he should
adopt, but the general feeling seemed to be that if
the second reading in the Lords.were allowed to pass,
and substantial amendments not only adopted but
insisted on, the best practical results might ensue.
At the same time, the danger of admitting the prin-
ciple of the bill was fully recognised. This course,
we understand, may not improbably be adopted by
the Conservatives, though it is almost certain that
some independent peer will divide the House."
The Archbishop of Canterbury has invited all the
deans to meet him at Lambeth to-day. This
invitation has, no doubt, reference to the scheme
which is now on foot for creating new bishoprics
out of the cathedral revenues. - These revenues at
present are used merely for the payment of sinecure
offices, and the idea is that they might be more
usefully applied in relieving the overworked bishops.
There are, according to the John Bull, two plans for
the creation of three or four new sees under considera-
tion. The one is to make the Chapter funds of some
of the richer cathedrals available—for a local want ; the
other is to suppress two canonries throughout
England, forming a general fund which would
enable the bishop to have the ancient ecclesiastical
council to assist him. We do not clearly understand
this latter alternative, except it implies the appoint-
ment of suffragan bishops. Anyhow, as our con-
temporary points out, the Liberal party is not
likely to allow the cathedral revenues to remain
untouched unless they are turned to some better use
than they are at present.

DR. CUMMI.Wfi.

Dr. Cumming and the Highlanders of London aro at
feud. There was a Gaelic minister—Mr. McPherson, of
Greenock—up in town last week. Dr. Gumming wrote
to him asking him to preach a Gaelic sermon last Sun-
day afternoon in Crown-court Church. The Highland
minister accepted the invitation, and the fiery cross
went round among the enthusiastic Celts, hungry
for a sermon in their native tongue. A para-
graph announcing the circumstance appeared on
Wednesday in a number of the daily papers. On that
day, however, Mr. MTherson received a second letter
from Dr. Cumming, retracting his invitation, because it
was his Communion Sunday, and the tables could not be
removed in time for the afternoon service. There was
no time for contradicting, in a proper way, the
information previously given. Another church was
obtained, and some of the leading Gaelic men, think-
ing it would be wise to warn people off Crown-court,
stationed themselves there. Naturally enough, they
looked at the notice-board outside the church, in the
expectation that common courtesy would have dictated
an announcement of the change of plan, but there was
nothing of the kind. They packed off everybody who
came to Swallow-street, saw Dr. Cumming's bederal (who
told them he could easily have removed the tables if he
had got the order) and then they went themselves to
Swallow-street, where they heard a very capital sermon
—no thanks to Dr. Cumming. Something must have
been at work in the rev. gentleman's mind to make
him thus strangely alter his offer. But he is
rather a queer wan in a good many respects.
There is a very characteristic story told of him which
I believe to be true enough. Ho had got a country
minister to fill his pulpit for him. The two were in
the vestry; the country man had put on the gown, and
was just emerging on his road to the pulpit. But the
Doctor was taking stock of the congregation through the
door on the jar, and lo ! he beheld a Duke. Turning on
the astonished country minister, be hurriedly bade him
take the gown off, for he must preach himself, and he
actually stripped his brother clergyman, and went into the
pulpit to preach to the Duke.—London Correspondent of
the Elgin, Courant.
