AN APOLOGY FOR MR. BRIGHT.

Mr. Bright's organ defends Mr. Bright's lapsus
linguce on Friday night. The Morning Star will not
see anything improper in one member of the Cabinet,
and that one not the chief member, declaring, with
reference to the question which is, above all others,
the most important, "I" am Trepared to introduce
a measure for dealing with that question. It is a
great pity that it should be thought necessary to
defend a clear blunder like this. That it was a
blunder the Star itself would have admitted if the
Marquis of Hartington, or any other scion of the
aristocracy, had committed it. It is none the less a
blunder on the part of Mr. Bright, although
pardonable in a man who has spent all but a few
weeks of his political life in fighting for his own
sword.

TIIE O'FARRELL TRIAL.

Dir. MONSELL, in reply to Mr. Newdegate, said no
direction was given by the Home Government to the Go-
vernment iu the colony to suppress any of the evidence
taken at the trial of O'Farrell ; and with respect to the re-
port and evidence he did not think it would be advisable
to put the country to the expense of printing the volumi-
nous matter.

Mr. MAGUIRE said he hoped it would be borne in mind
that the act of O'Farrell was an isolated one, and that he
was quite unconnected with any body of persons, that in
fact his crime was the result of delirium tremens, or in
fact he might say of a lunatic. It was just that-this fast
should be clearly made known. (Hear, hear.)

REOWNWNIW lITAV FR LE Y, OWL PECK-
WICK, and WAVERLEY BARREL PEN,

ON A NEW PRINCIPLE.

'• The ' Owl' pen is suitable for fine writing, and glides
over the paper in the most easy and graceful manner.
This is par excellence the lady's pen. Tito ' Pickwick,'
from its flexibility, is well adapted for business purposes.
The Waverley 'is sure to become a favourite; its flexi
bi:ity is so great that it will entirely supersede the use of
quills, and to professional men will be invaluable. The
Waverley Barrel Pen possesses the same qualities as the
foregoing."—Court Journal.

THE IRISH CHURCH.

The house then went into committee on the bill,
Clause 80, which made enactments with respect to
mixed endowments, was agreed to; as was clause 31,
which defined the limitation of the right to purchase fee
simple, in consideration of perpetual rent.
Clause 32 was next proposed, it dealt with the sale of
the rent charge to the owners of land, and enacted that the
commissioners might sell any rent charge in lieu of tithes
vested iu them under the act to tho owners of land,
charged herewith in consideration of a sum equal to
twenty-two and a half times the amount of such rent
charge.

Mr. FAWCETT moved that the clause be struck out.

Tho proposition was negatived without a division.

Clause 37, which provides compensation for p;o7essors
in the College of Belfast, was also negatived without a
division.

Clause 38, enabling the commissioners to commute the
annuities of NoacJnformist ministers and professors at
Belfast, was agreed to.

The house then resumed, and the orders of the day hav-
ing been disposed of, afterwards adjourned.

IWRECK ON THE NORFOLK COAST.—Late on
Thursday night the fine iron mow steamer the Lady
Flora, bound to Hull, came ashore amidst the breakers iu
a heavy sea (the wind blowing about north-oast by
north), just within the boundaries (south) of Caister. She
showed a light, and iinmediate:y the Caister beachmen
went off to her in the Boys' lifeboat of the Naiioull Life-
boat Institution. The boat behaved well, and her crow
had some dangerous work with her to get to the ship
amidst the breakers. On. of them was severely bruised
by an oar being driven against him. The vessel is between
700 and 800 tons, and lies dry at low water. The master
-lost his course, and got bewildered, not knowing -where he
was, and ran the ship ashore in his bewilderment. This
lifeboat was some time since generously presented to the
institution by the subscribers to Routledge,s Magazine for
,` Boys.

PAINLESS and PRACTICAL DENTISTRY,
by Mr. B. L. MOSE LY, the Dentist by special appoint-
ment, 312, REGENT-STREET, exactly opposite the Royal
Polytechnic. Established 1820.—'rho System of Painless
Dentistry originated by Mr. B. L. Mosely, and now recog-
nis;yd by the medical faculty and the profession as one of
the improvements of the age, can nowhere be obtained in
such perfect success as at his only residence, 312, Regent-
street. Advantages are: Perfect, immunity from pain—
no operations—stumps and decayed teeth rendered useful
- loose teeth and tender gums protected. Qualities: They
never change colour or decay—in fit unerring—ease and
comfort unsurpassed—detection impossible—the facial
anatomy faithfully studied and youthful appearance re-
stored- mastication and articulation g,:arauteed. The
" Times" of March 6 says : "Theta is no deception ; so
good an imitation becomes th n next best thing to the
original." Teeth from 55.; sets, 5 to 30 guineas. Con-
sultations f roe. —Only addre.,s, 311, Regent-street, exactly

FOREIGN NOTES.
ANNEXATION FINE!: IN AMERICA.
Mr. Chandler, a Michigan senator of bellicose tame;
brought a resolution before the American Upper House,
on the 1901 of April, to the effect that the President be
directed to open negotiations with England for a settle-
ment of all claims on the basis of a transfer of the
British North American possessions to the United
States. Mr. Chandler is the parliamentary _repre-
sentative of the party which believes that. the Alabama
compensation C:ailll3 %rould be fair " dicker'' for British
forth America. We have not yet the pleasure of learning
the full argument by which this proposition wassupportcd ;
lint Mr. Chandler is of opinion th.►t England, as well as
Prance, staked her American possessions on the success
of the rebellion. The conduct of the Emperor Napoleon
towards the North lost; him Mexico ; our evil deeds ought
to cost us half a continent. The motion appears to have
produced some sensation, for gold went up directly` in
Wall•street, and a war with England became the current
topic. But neither of these two effects is so novel as to
deserve the name of phenomenon. Gold has gone down
again, the war talk has subsided, and Mr. Chandler's
resolution has been consigned to the Committee on Foreign
Affairs. But really, what with these annexation proposi-
tions, motions for the recognition of Cuban independence,
and such speeches as that of Mr. Sumner on the Alabama
claims, the United States Legislature is not presenting a
very dignified appearance at the present moment. The
New York papers, however, are beginning to find it
necessary to laugh at these extravagancies ; and this is
rather a good sign.

ITALIAN PAIITIES.

A very important redistribution of Italian parties is now
taking place. The present Menabrea Ministry has held
its ground well, but it is composed almost wholly
of Tuscans. The Piedmontese element, though by no
means allied with the Left, has hitherto held aloof.
But a coalition has at length been arranged. Not only
the Piedmontese, but the group of the Third Party, under
the leadership of Signor Mordini, will join General Mena-
brea. The terms of the alliance have been agreed upon
between Ricasoli, Ferrari, Mordini, and Menabrea. The
latter will resign and will reconstitute his Cabinet,
most of his Tuscan colleagues being thrown overboard
to make room for the Piedmontese and Third Party.
Count Cambray-Digny's financial scheme will be adopted
in full by the coalition of the.present Cabinet. • Only this
Minister, Menabrea, and Viate will be retained. Such
are the details given by the Ind'pendance Beige, and sub-
stantially they are confirmed by other authorities,
especially the Temps. Beyond doubt the position of the
Italian Government must be greatly strengthened by such
a coalition. The Rattazzi tarty is said to be in great
trouble at this union. The fact is that the Piedmontese
have long felt themselves in a false position, joined as they
were with Rattazzi and the Left against the Government.
The more Rattazzi identified himself with democratic
projects, the more discontented they became, and at
length they have "gone over."
London, England, 1869-05-04

srAin

Another outbreak, similar to the deplorable risings at
Malaga and Cadiz, has just been stifled at Se, 'IL.. The
correspondent of the Constitutionnel says OP a milita •y
conspiracy has been preparing there for some &due. A
rising in favour of a republic was contemplated. Several
battalions were implicated, and the pronunciamiento was
on the point of being declared, when the customary
informer divulged everything. The Constitutionnel says
that the Republicans are systematically getting up risings
such as those at Cadiz and Malaga for the purpose of
preventing all "monarchical combinations" on the part
of the majority. But sedition is by no means a likely
mode of preventing the union of the Monarchists.
London, England, 1869-05-04

THE ROYAL ACADEMY.

In spite of Sir Francis Grant's zasertion at the
Royal Academy dinner that every " accepted" picture
this year has been placed, there is more than usual
dissatisfaction among artists on account of the rejec-
tions which have taken place. It is not merely that
artists little known to fame have had pictures
sent back which not merely " partial friends,"
but good critics, thought safe to be exhi-
bited, but that some artis's well known
in every way have been among the excluded.
Altogether nearly I,ICO pictures have been ttlrruil
away, many of them of far greater merit than some
of those exhibited. So strong is the feeling of
resentment that it has been determined to ttart
another academy, and it is stated that f.:S,CCO was
subscribed on Saturday among well-known patrons
of the fine arts on the Stock Exchange, although
May 1 is a dies non so far as 'Change is concerned.
It is hoped that the movement thus vigorously
begun will, next year, result in a formidable rival to
the Royal Academy.

THE COTTON TRADE.

The depresskin in the cotton trade has continued
so very long that it is becoming most serious to all
all who are emoged in it. Manufacturers aro being
slowly ruined, and the many failures are tolling most
disastrously. Some time back there were hopes of
a revival of trade and the resumption of business,
but the strikes brought about the total cessation of
many mills, the proprietors in sonic instances owing
large amounts. The Manchester Courier reports
that at Preston millowners are returning to
the half-week working system again, some
of them running at the reduction of 2
per cent. for three or four clays only. The men
are most disheartened. Suffering and privation
many of them have endured for some time past, and
now they have to look forward to a whiter with
scanty wages, with clothing already poor from past
privations, and with no present prospect of relief.

LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 9, 1869.

The " childish pottering" over the Life Peerages
Bill came to an end last evening. Three months
after the date of its introduction by Earl RUSSELL, it
has been thrown out by the House of Lords on the
motion for the third reading. It had been carried
safely through the perilous ordeal of all the previous
stages. It had been p:-.Esed, after discussion, on the
first reading. It had been passed, after discussion, on
the second reading. It has been considered piece-
meal—clause by clause —in committee. But after all,
at the close of the new dcbate upon it yesterday
evening, it was summarily, and yet very deliberately,
thrown out by a c'ear majority of 29, in a House of
183-77 voting for and 106 against the third read-
ing. Could it but find voice for the articulation of
its own epitaph, Lord RUSSELL'S little Bill might—
might echo the serio-comic couplet, inscribed by the
epigrammatist over the grave of the new-born infant—
" So soon I'm done for,
I wonder v. bat I was begun for."
Lord RUSSELL of late years has been tolerably

THE CCTTON TRADE.

The deprers'on in the cotton trade has continut
so very long that it is becoming most serious to all
all who are clignged in it. Manufacturers are being
slowly ruined, and the many failures are telling most
clisuitrously. Sonic time back there were hopes of
a revival of trade and the resumption of business,
but the strikes brought about the total cessation of
many mills, the proprietors in some instances owing
large amounts. The Manchester Courier reports
that at Preston millowners are returning to
the half-week working system again, some
of them running at the reduction of 2
per cent. for three or four days only. The men
are most disheartened. Suffering and privation
many of them have endured for some time past, and
now they have to look forward to a winter with •
scanty wages, with clothing already poor from past
privations, and with no present prospect of relief.

are agitated by all the Uhurches on the Uontinent,
and it-would be deplorable if a Church professedly
so free as the English were to set the example of
rigid suppression. 3. Latitude has been won by
recent trials, and all that could be gained by
an adverse decision would be a limitation in
point of detail. 4. If unsuccessful, the prosecution
would cause much injury, because it would be sup-
posed that the Church is committed to all the crude
vagaries and extravagant assertions which Mr.
Voysey may have used. The Dean points out that the
Archbishop of York was clearly influenced by these
considerations, and that it was only in consequence
of the pressure put upon him that he consented to
prosecute.

THE BELGIAN RAILWAY DIFFICULTY.

So far as can be judged from the accounts of the settle.
ment come to in the dispute between Belgium and France,
it would seem that the Brussels Government has not made
any very compromising concessions. An international
system of traffic has been set up, but the Belgian lines
have not passed into French hands. They preserve their
autonomy, and remain under Belgian laws. It appears,
however, that even yet there are some " slight roodifica-

THAMES.

TILE SUICIDE BRIDGES OVER THE LONDON DOCK.
Mr. Paget addressed Mr. George and Mr. Mumford, chief
constables of the London and St. Katherine Dock Com-
poles own police, and said he was much obliged to them
for their attendance, and wished to call their attention to
the number of suicides and attempted suicides at the Old
Gravel-lane bridges over the dock. The attempted sui-
cides only came before him and his colleague, and the
method adopted was to remand the offender to Olerken-
well prison for a week, and then on a favourable report
from the chaplain of the prison to discharge them with a
reprimand. He now, had two women under re-
mand, who had attempted suicide at the Old Gravel-
lane Bridge. As one of the magistrates, answerable for
the peace:of the district, he could not help thinking it was
shocking to humanity that these attempts were so fre-
quent, and that some scheme might be devised to prevent
drunken and half-insane persons jumping into the water.
He and his colleague only heard of the unsuccessful cases.
The successful cases of suicide were investigated by the
coroner, and they were numerous.
Mr. Mumford said the railings of the bridges were high
enough for ordinary purposes.
Mr. Paget said that was so, but drunken and insane per-
sons got over the railings and attempted suicide in the
dock.
Mr. Mumford said if the height of the railings were
increased it would be an impediment to business, and that
nothing would then stop people jumping into the River
Thames a few yards further on. Mr. Paget was of opinion
that the height of the railings could be increased at a trif-
ling expense, and people kept out of the, water. There
were some bridges at the lower part of the docks in Shad-
well with lattice work 10 feet high, and there were no
suicides or attempted suicides there. Mr. George said
those bridges were moved by hydraulic machinery, and
erected under the provisions of a recent Act of Parlia-
ment. Mr. Mumford said it had become fashionable
for drunken• persons, and particularly prostitutes,
to attempt suicide at the bridges of the London
dock. The Bridge of Sighs, as Waterloo-bridge was
termed by Tom Hood the novelist, was the fashionable
resort for suicides in the West, as the London dock bridges
were in the East.
Mr. Paget said he had nothing to do with Waterloo-
bridge. He was firmly of opinion that these outrages to
humanity could be lessened, and he wished the solicitor
of the London and St. Katherine Dock Companies, now
united, should wait on him.
Mr. George and Mr. Mumford said the magistrate's
wishes should be communicated to the solicitor, and after
stating that Westminster-Bridge was not a fashionable
resort for suicides, though the railway was only four feet
higher, took their departure.
