THE CONVERSION OF THE JEWS.

It has been repeatedly asserted that it costs
£lO,OOO to convert a Jew, and that when converted
he almost invariably relapses. This statement is just
now giving rise to a lively discussion in the Daily
News. The originators of the discussion assert that
the Society for the Conversion of the Jews is one of
the greatest shams of the age, and they challenge
the officers of the society, who have recently claimed
seventy converts within the last twelve months, to
produce ten well-educated Jews who have been con-
converted without a material improvement in their
worldly circumstances. In other words, the charge is
that the converts belong to the lowest class, who would
take up with any religion provided they found it had
the promise, likewise the fulfilment, of the life which
now is.

THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.

From what purports to be an official American source,
we learn the exact amount claimed by the various owners
of the ships destroyed by the Alabama and other vessels
acting for the Southern Confederation. Though these
damages arc currently termed "Alabama claims," it is
hardly necessary to remark that the depredations of the
famous " 290" form only a portion of the injuries for
which redress is sought. The total amount is assessed
at rather more than 13,000,000 dollars, or about
£2,670,000. The Alabama destroyed seventy ships, on
behalf of which 5,271,000 dollars are demanded. Thirty-
six vessels and a charge of 3,000,000 dollars are set
down to the account of the Florida. The Georgia
destroyed only nine ships, for which about 326,000 dollars
are claimed. The bill against the Shenandoah is
\1,443,000 dollars, for thirty-six ships. The tenders of the
Alabama and Florida are charged with 22,000 dollars ;
1 but many vessels captured by these tenders, and indeed
i by the other ships, have not yet been assessed.

TILE GOVERNMENT DIFFICULTY IN SPAIN.
The Paris correspondent of the Independance Beige,
observing that the project of a Regency for Spain has the
best chance of all the combinations of the day, says that
it would be attended with at least one great benefit. The
Republican deputies, who threaten to withdraw if a King
be elected, would be so satisfied with a Regency that they
Would remain. Their withdrawal, it need hardly be said,
would be a very serious matter ; the first step, in fact-
towards civil war. _ _

.NATIOY_IL SPORTS.

The Deny favourites ere approaching a level in the
betting. Pretender has lust ground a little, and Pero
Gomez and Belladrum have advanced. 5 to 2 against
the first-named did not meet with response on Wednesday.
Pero Gomez, on the other hand, came to so short a price as 3 to
1, and was backed to the amount of `2OO, but the odds were
still forthcoming after that support. Belladrum was not
heavily invested upon, because 4to 1 was the highest
figure. Bookmakers were, however, so very cautious that
they refused to make the slightest advance upon those
odds, and the only transaction which came under our
notice in connection with the Russley horse was a
bet of -q fifties which a gentleman laid by way of
"hedging." With respect to the other candidates, there
is very little doing. Perry Down is decidedly fourth
favourite, 100 to 6 being the highest price. The
training reports of all the three leading horses
are very favourable. Belladrum keeps at his
work, and looks and goes well. On Tuesday he did a
mile and three-quarters, pulling up very fresh. Pretender
keeps his form admirably. Pero Gomez has made very great
improvement. On Wednesday he went two miles, part of
the distance at a very great pace. The horse was in thebest
of condition when the run was over. The " tout " thinks
that Morns will not stay the Oaks distance. It is now
finally arranged that Daley will ride Belladrum in the
Derby.

IRELAND.

The discussion on the Irish land question is fast
taking the place of the worn-out, wearisome Church
question, and already the party journals are recrimi-
nating upon one another with energetic vitupe-
rations. There are three parties. There are
those who 'deny the existence of a land
question. The tenant farmers, they say, are well
off enough. Those with whom it is necessary to
deal are the poorer dwellers in and around towns.
They should be got rid of by emigration, and placed
in a locality where they will rise. On the other
extreme are the Nationalists, who call the landowners
robbers and tyrants, and want to have the land con-
fiscated for the benefit of the tenants. Between
these conflicting parties lie the opinions of
by far the greater portion of the kingdom.
The critical position is recognised, but no definite
plan is agreed upon. Indeed, Mr. Bright's plan—a
royal commission buying up land from great land-
lords above their market price, and selling them at a
moderate price and on easy terms to tenants—is the
only one before the country. The papers, of course,
are full of correspondence on the subject, and the
tenants meanwhile are living in hope. Their hopes,
too, are not of the most moderate. But (as the cor-
respondent of the Daily _Yews puts it) they would
accept a temporary settlement, such as a tolerably
long lease, for " something may happen" before long.

THE EXTENSION OF TEE EPISCOPATE.

" 11. E. T." writes to the Guardian, pointing out
that nothing is to be expected from the House of
Lords in the way of escape from the present unsatis-
factory state of the Episcopate :
,6 A alekly infant has about as much chance of escaping
save trout a - oaoy-taming- ebtainisinneuc, us uu
real measure for the extension of the Episcopate would
have from the tend r mercies of our spiritual peers. It
is but too painfully clear that the cause has everything to
fear and nothing to hope from its injustm IiOVCITa" on the
bench. With two honourable exceptions, secured to us
by the Episcopal appointments of the last two years, our
spiritual fathers seem unable to separate, even in thought,
the Bishop from the Peer. The increased usefulness of
their order seems to weigh for nothing with them, so long
as a possible curtailment of its dignity is supposed to lurk
behind.

"'Let `order' cease; let supervisio., ' die;
But leave us sti!l our
Such seems the deplorable policy to which the bishops
have once more committed themselves, and, in which,
doubtless, the House of Lords will continue to abet
them."

CHRISTIANITY IN MADAGASCAR.

It has been several times announced that the Queen of
Madagascar has been converted to Christianity. The
Patric positively denies this statement. Queen Ranavalo
11. is very friendly to all Christians, particularly, adds
Cfie.Paris journal, to the French Romah Catholic mis-
sionaries, to whom she has confided the education of her
son, the heir to the throne; but she has not shewn any
inclination to personally abandon the native religion. In
fact, she dare not. The people of Madagascar are so pre-
judiced that such an act would be attended with the
greatest danger.

ANOTHER SHIP CANAL PROJECT.

The success of the Suez Canal has encouraged the
French engineers. The municipal council of Bordeaux
are now considering the stupendous project of cutting a
ship canal across the south of France, from the Bay of
Biscay to the Mediterranean. The canal will start from
Bordeaux, and the line of the Garonne will be followed to
Toulouse, the constructors having the help of that navi-
gable river. From Toulouse to the Gulf of Lyons the
Canal du Midi is already in use, and all that would be
required, therefore, would be the widening and deepening
of the waterway which now exists. The canal would cost
about eighteen millions sterling, and might, it is thought,
be completed in six years. ships troKil.,g wish the Medi-
terranean, and vessels making the voyage to India by the
Suez Canal, would thus save the entire circuit of Spain.
and Portugal.
London, England, 1869-05-21

ELECTORAL STATISTICS.

The Standard publishes some electoral statistics
to explain the gain of the Liberals at the late elec-
tions. Assuming that the figures are correctly given,
the late Reform Bill, or the " Redistribution Bill,"
as the Standard calls it, gave 20 seats to." places
where the return of a Liberal was almost a moral
certainty." The minority clause deprived the Con-
servatives of three county seats, malting 29, while
that clause gave four seats to the Conservatives,
making a net gain to the Liberals of 25. The Liberals,
however, lost one seat more than the Conservatives
by the disfranchisement of small boroughs. The
Standard goes on to point out that the great Liberal
strongholds are the metropolis, where the Liberals
hold 26 seats out of 28 ; the Black Country, where the
Liberals hold a11,.11 ; the West Riding, where they
hOld 15 out of 19 ; and the country between the
.Tyne and the Tees, where they hold 17 out of 20.
To this Scotland should surely be added. It is diffi-
cult to understand what purpose these statistics are
intended to serve. If they mean anything, they
mean that, while the small boroughs supported Con-
servatism, the large centres of population support
Liberalism ; and it must be remembered that the
transference of political power from the first to the
second was made in a Reform Bill introduced and
carried while a Conservative Government was in
office, so that there can hardly be room for the sus-
picion that the change was made merely to benefit
the Liberals, as was too often the case in the &RI-
Reform Bill.

The Standard gives the following as the result of
the last four general elections :-1857—Lib., 400;
Con., 254; Lib. majority, 146. 1859—Lib., 364;
Con., 290 ; Lib. majority, 74. 1865—Lib.. 369 ;
Con., 289 ; Lib. majority, 80. 1808—Lib., 386 ;
Con., 273; Lib. majority, 113. These figures are
not trustworthy. The so-called "Liberal" majority
of 1857, for instance, was composed largely
of Conservatives, who supported Lord Palmer-
ston on the Chinese war in opposition to
the Manchester party, as the advanced Liberals
were then called. This majority entirely disappeared
within ten months ; for as soon as the Conservatives
had an opportunity of obtaining office, those who
had supported Lord Palmerston on the hustings
opposed him in the lobby. The Liberal majority of
74 in 1859 is a stupendous' mistake. Immediately
after the general election the Marquis of Hartington
moved a vote of " no. confidence" in the Derby-
Disraeli Cabinet, and although almost every member
voted, the majority against the Government was
only 13, just one-fifth of that mentioned by the
Standard. The majority in favour of Lord
Palmerston in 1865 is put at least ten too high. That
gained at the last election is the only one correctly
stated. •

A VOLUNTEER SHOT BY HIS OWN

SERGEANT.

On Thursday afternoon a lamentable accident took place
Bilston, near Wolverhampton. A party of the Bilston
volunteers (4th Staffordshire Battalion) were engaged on
their practice-ground firing at a 400 yards range, under
the direction of Drill-Sergeant Nason. A private named
Chatterton, a tailor, with seven children, offered to go and
mark. He did so, and indicated by the red disc that all
was clear. On this Company-Sergeant Fenny asked
the drill sergeant if all was right, and the drill-sergeant
said, "Yes ; Go on ! " Tie fired, and just as he
pulled the trigger he was horrified to see Chat-
terton run out from the mantlet and make for the
target five yards distant. Chatterton was seen to face
round towards the squad, and be instantly dropped
on his face in the opposite direction, and his back
was exposed to the fire. The bullet entered the lower part
of his back, passed through the bowels, and then struck
the target. No blame is to be attached to the firing party,
as Chatterton did not hoist the danger signal before he left
his place of safety. It is supposed that his object was to
clean some marks from the target, which he thought would
prevent him from recording the score.

THE FATAL RIOT IX TRALEE.

A Cork correspondent telegraphs the following particulars
of the conflict on Wednesday at 13allybeigne :—" A party of
intending emigrants were drinking with their friends, when a
row took place amongst them. Three policemen endeavoured
to keep the peace, and being resisted, they arrested two of the
ringleaders. The people gathered round, and attempted to
rescue them. The police tried to keep their prisoners. Stones
and sticks were then brought into requisition, and the
police were fiercely assailed. They endeavoured to
take the prisoners to the barracks, when showers of
stones compelled them to let them go. Constable Conway
had his skull fractured, end was left prostrate on the road.
The two others fled to the barracks, and were joined by
another. They got their rifles, and sallied out to recapture
the rioters, but were received with shouts of defiance.
The fight was renewed with desperation. The police
caught tho ringleaders and endeavoured to keep the crowd
back with their side arms; stone throwing then became
so terrible that they had to fire. John O'Hara, a re-
turned American, was shot through the left breast, and
has since died. John Dunn was shot in the loft groin.
Timothy O'Hara received a sabre cut in the arm. The police
fled to the bamcks and the crowd pursued them. The police
got in their prisoners, barred the door, and kept the people
out. Constable Conway's life is despaired of. Constables
Walsh and Fleming sustained several wounds. Reinforce-
ments of police were afterwards sent out."

Ti►e Times Philadelphia vrresriondent notes that the
moderation of American feeling with reference to the contro-
versy with England is becoming more and more perceptible.
Mr. Fish, the Secretary of State, has triumphed over the
F.,umner policy. The mercantile and commercial classes, who
would have so much at stake in a war, and whose influence
is therefore so powerful, are equally ag: in-1 Mr. Stunner.
"It may be regarded as the settled policy of this Govern-
ment not to push the .Alabama controversy into any hostile
attitude, and however restive any section of the people
may be under this
_decision, the majority will support the
Government in its-sensible course."

EIIIGRANTS WANTED.

The latest inducement to encourage emigration is
marriage?. The servant girls of this country are
implored to go to Canada, they will have a
good chance of marrying there. No matter
that they are comfortable here, no matter
that they are getting high wAges ; . these
considerations of course are nothing in comparison
with the " chance " of obtaining husbands in
Canada. The chief emigration agent at Toronto
writes that he has had no less than nine girls married
out of his own house in five years to farmers' sons,
and all of them are now doing well. So let all young
women who have as yet failed to obtain constant
admirers in this country betake themselves to
Canada, where they may cast their lines in more
pleasant places.

ELECTION PETITIONS.

The costly luxury of an election petition under the
new Act does not deter petitioners. Under the old
Act each party had to pay its own costs, whichever
won. But now the loser has to pay for both sides ;
so that a petition is a lottery in which tho
petitioner may win a seat or lose £lO,OOO. There
are now two petitions presented against members
elected in consequence of the unseating of
the old members. Mr. Weguelin lost his seat at
Youghal, and was succeeded by Mr. Guest, who now
has to go through the ordeal which proved fatal to
his predecessor; and Lord Hyde, who succeeded Mr.
Gwyn at Brecon, under similar circumstances, has to
submit to the same crucial investigation. Probably
if the whole truth were known, both the Irish and
the Welsh borough would be disfranchised. As they
are not, we see no reason why they should not be in
a state of perpetual petition.

TILE PACIFIC lIAILWAY.

The unfavourable reports of the great railroad across the
United States seem to have been exaggeratei. It was
alleged that the line was badly constructed, that certain
portions would never bear the traffic at all, and that serious
accidents might be looked for. The journey from
San Francisco to New York has, however, been
made in safety, and but one cause for complaint
has been experienced. At some points on the railway the
foundations were constructed of frozen earth, which has
become unstable since the warm weather thawed it. But
these unsafe places are carefully passed, and large numbers
pf men are employed in the work of reconstruction. The
correspondent of the Standard has " done" the line as
far as Omaha in Nebraska, 1,400 miles from New York,
and he is disposed to think favourably of the work. This
new overland route is likely to become a favourite with
Lou

Omaha, though but half way on the line, is tl►e extreme
point to which American civilisation has extended from
east to west. Beyond it lie immense regions of unsettled
:ountry,tl►en the Rocky Mountains, and then the se ttlem ents
Dn the Pacific seaboard. Omaha contains about 113,000
inliabitanf.s —more than one-fourth of the whole population
Nebra,ka. Its twelve churches and chapels are well
patronised, for some of the pews in the Roman Catholic
place of worship sell "by auction "for.£3o. But this display
If religious enthusiasm does not prevent manifestations of
some of the most advanced, and some of the worst, features
,f the American character. The newspapers have a
7orner set apart for betrothals and divorces, as well as
" births, marriages, and deaths." A tradesman in Omaha
recently advertised, "Ministers of the Gospel supplied
with goods at cost if they will agree to mention the fact to
their congregations." A man recently murdered a
negro, and was tried in due form. The jury found a verdict
" Not Guilty, Lut if the prisoner is smart he will leave
the State before night." The plisoner was smart. Property
in the neighbourhood of the town is already worth £3O to
£4O an acre. In short, Omaha promises to rival the
marvellous growth of Chibago, and to become, in a very few
years, the centre of Western civilisation, whereas it is now
the extreme outpost on the edge of the desert. One of the
largest landowners in the district is George Francis Train.
That great man is still lecturing through the length and
breadth of the land. His last announcement was the
"seventy-sixth of a course of six hundred."

WOMEN'S RIGHTS.

A rather singular meeting has just taken place in
Hanover-square Rooms. The lady believers in
women's rights invited several gentlemen to discuss
the matter with them. First a paper was read by a
lady, setting forth the well-known instances of
strong-minded women of ancient and modern times,
and arguing that women were as well fitted as men
to enter the learned professions. Ladies, it was
declared, could preach, plead, and practice as well as
men. The gentlemen, however, did not quite agree
with this. They thought the education of women
might be much improved, but did not believe that
everything in the position of women was due to
defective education. Women might enter certain
professions, but could hardly grasp them well. They
might be accoucheurs, not doctors ; they might help
men in their work, but would hardly be fitted to
take the whole burden upon themselves. The
reporters assure us that the ladies who took part in
this meeting were not according to the caricature ;
there were many owners of pretty faces present.

THE CONT.TEESION OF TIIE JEWS.

It has been repeatedly asserted that it costs
210,000 to convert a Jew, and that when converted
he almost invariably relapses. This statement is just
now giving rise to a lively discussion in the Daily
News. The originators of the discussion assert that
the Society for the Conversion of the Jews is one of
the greatest shams of the age, and they challenge
the officers of the society, who have recently claimed
seventy converts within the last twelve months, to
produce ten well-educated Jews who have been con-
converted without a material improvement in their
worldly circumstances. In other words, the charge is
that the converts belong to the lowest class, who would
take up with any religion provided they found it had
the promise, likewise the fulfilment, of the life which
now is.

EMIGRANTS WANTED.
The latest inducement to encourage emigration is
marriage. The servant girls of this country are
implored to go to Canada, they will have a

TITS LORDS AND 'TILL DILL.

The Pccar,/ believes that the Alm Bull has been
misinformed respecting the alleged decision of Lord
Derby to oppose the Irish Church Bill. Our contem-
porary refers to the circumstances which we have
already pointed out as disproving that annou ncem en t—
the hesitation of the Irish Church Conference, and the
summoning of a meeting of Conservative Peers after
Whitsuntide. The Record goes on to urge that
a rejection of the bill would probably be attended
with serious consequences to the Constitution. " The
ultra-Radicals would rejoice in the opportunity of
throwing fifty or sixty or even a hundred new peers
into the Upper House. It may, therefore, prove a
safe and a wise policy to receive the bill and modify
its provisions. Or it may be still better altogether
to evade a decision by adopting Lord Westbury's
suggestion—that the House should refuse to take
into consideration the bill during the present session
until it has had an opportunity of understanding
the general scheme of policy as to Ireland,
whether as to the questions of the Church
or the land tenure." It is a vain imagination,
adds our contemporary, to expect that the House of
Lords can long resist a measure pushed forward by
a great majority in the House of Commons. A
second appeal to the country would probably be
attended with irreparable mischief both to the Con-
stitution and the Church. It is to a Fabian policy
that the defenders of the Church must resort, in the
hope that the country will cool down. The Record
hopes something from Earl Russell's opposition, and
seems disposed even to accept his levelling-up policy,
the endowment of the " man of sin," if thereby the
revenues of the Irish Church can be preserved intact.
With Lord Russell and Lord Westbury fractious,
something ought t) turn up for the benefit of the
Conservative party.
