TIIE FENIAN PRISONERS.

The meeting for the release of the Fenian prisoners,
if it were not illegal, "toppled on the very verge."
Resolutions were adopted, declaring that the
prisoners had suffered enough, and therefore ought
to be released. "The sentiments expressed were that
the crime of the' prisoners was venal. They had
allowed their duty to their country to triumph over
their loyalty to the Crown. Their punishment had
had been sufficient; anything further would be rather
vengeance than justice. If the petitioners could not
obtain their release from the Government, they
would appeal from the Government to Heaven.

MR. WARNER.

It has been stated that Mr. Edward Warner is a
Liberal candidate for the seat at Norwich, vacant
through the unseating of Sir Henry Stracey. Mr.
Warner represented the borough in the last Parlia-
ment. It was supposed that the reason why he did not
come forward at the recent general election was that
he had been one of the directors in the Credit Foncier,
and in that capacity had been a party to transactions
of a not altogether satisfactory character. It was
remarked that Mr. Warner and Mr. Grant, in retiring
from Norwich and Kidderminster, shewed more
modesty than Mr. Lane and Mr. White in standing
for Plymouth and Brighton. It would appear, how-
ever, that we attributed to the first mentioned gen-
tleman a virtue which he did not possess, or which
at the most was of a very transitory nature.

IN GREAT BRITAIN.
WAR OFFICE, PALL-MALL, LONDON, S.W.,

THE MAURITIUS.

According to a private letter, three years of misfortune
have reduced the inhabitants of the Mauritius to the last
extremity of misery. In 1866 food was twice the ordi-
nary price ; in 1867 fever carried off one-sixth of the popu-
lation; in 1868 a hurricane of exceptional violence laid
waste the whole island. A famine is the next danger to
be apprehended. There is a great want of money
amongst the colonists, nine-tenths of the land is heavily
mortgaged, and a large proportion of the food consumed
is imported. An outbreak amongst the Indians, who
form the majority of the population, is not improbable.

THE PROPOSED CESSION OF GIBRALTAR.

A correspondent of the Times, writing on this well-
worn subject, declares that in its present state Ceuta
is thoroughly useless, either as port or fortress, and
it would take an enormous sum to convert it into a safe
harbour of refuge. He admits that the Spaniards feel
great annoyance at the English possession of Gibraltar,
but he contends that we must not hope for Spanish
gratitude if we surrender it. If we give up Gibraltar
he advises that we should take care to have a good
treaty of commerce or some other equivalent before
we move a regiment, as there will be little thanks
when we have once left. The Spaniards still claim
almost the whole merit of the Peninsular War, and
both in their conversationsand their written narratives
attribute the expulsion of the French to their own
countrymen, though allusions to the expense in-
flicted on the country by the English troops may be
met with. This writer declares that foreigners would
look upon the proposed cession as an act of downright
folly, at which those who most profited by it would be
the first to laugh. He considers Admiral Ommanneys
arguments conclusive. The gallant admiral, in his
letter of the 23rd, replied in detail to the statements
of Admiral Sullivan, and as he claims many years'
experience both in charge of the naval station at
Gibraltar and in command of ships stationed in the
Straits, his advice to " let well alone " is given with
some authority.

THAMES.

A QUIET DAY IN CoußT.—Mr. Paget took his seat on
the bench at 10 o'clock precisely with his usual punctua-
lity, and it would be very beneficial to the public if all
other gentlemen of the worshipful bench imitated his ex-
ample. There were a few night charges of not the slightest
public importance, and these were disposed of in half an
hour. He then heard numerous applications, and at 11
o'clock the
_remanded cases (four in number) not being
ready, in consequence of the non-arrival of the prison van,
he directed the court to be cleared, and adjourned for an
hour.

THE MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE
SOCIETY.—Every Policy effected with this Society by the
31st inst. will have the advantage of one year in every Annual
Bonus.

The Directors give notice that the Policies of the Society be-
come Indisputable, and are relieved of all conditions (except
payment of the annual premiums), when they have remained
unchallenged for five years, and the life assured has completed
his 30th year.
The bonus additions allotted by the Society are highly satisfac-
tory. In a recent claim the addition to a Zl,OOO assurance, dated
1845, amounted to £l,OlO, making the total payment £2,010.

AMERICA.

The results of the civil war are fully investigated in
Mr. \Veils's third annual report, and some remarkable
facts are disclosed. The struggle left the county with
unimpaired resources and actually increased products, but
it enormously increased the expense of manufacture.
There is scarcely a single domestic article or agricultural
product which cannot be produced at a less cost in some
other country. Even for oil paintings, rough building
stone, Indian corn, Bibles, ice, and firewood, more pro-
tect:on is being demanded. The inconvertible paper
currency, heavy taxation, and the want of skilled labour,
are the causes of this unsatisfactory result.

The Hercules, screw (armoured, iron) frigate,
Captain Lord Gifford, will go out of Portsmouth
harbour, for Spithead, on the 2d proximo, and will
make her six hours' sea trial under steam, south of
the Isle of Wight, about the 4th proximo. After
she has made her six hours' trial it is expected she
will be sent to Lisbon.

A Denver paper says that an agreement has
been made by the presidents of the Union Pacific Rail-
way Eastern Division, and of the Denver Pacific Com-
pany, by the terms of which the said Eastern Division
Company assigns to the Denver Pacific Company its right
of way, lands, Ste., north and westerly of Denver. It
alto agrees to connect its road with the Denver Pacific
Road at Denver City. And it is agreed that the
Denver Pacific Railway shall be operated so as to
form a through connection with the Eastern Divi-
sion Roa I at Cheyenne, it being taken in lieu of that part
of the Eastern Division Railroad. The Union Pacific Rail-
road is completed to Evanston, 957 miles west of Omaha,
and it is probable that this station will bo the terminus of
the road during the winter, as it is with great difficulty
that grading can be done when the ground is frozen. The
stages will start from Bryan, 97 miles farther east, but
will probably make connections with the railroad at
Evanston in a few days. This place is about 100 miles
east of Salt Lake. The company has already notified the
Post-office Department is ready to carry mails to Evans-
ton, 957 miles west of Omaha. The newspapers in the
interests of the railroads soliciting subsidies from the Go-
vernment to further their speculations are already out
with considerable severity on President Grant for his re-
portedr language against any further money subsidies. No
matter for their censure; the taxpayers of the country
will be sure to stand by the declarations imputed to the
President. Lot him adhore to them.

THE CECIIMENICAL COLTXCIL.

Dr. Cumming, premising that the editor of the
If Gazette deserves a medal from tho Pope
for his obstinate resistance to facts and sublime con-
tempt of all exercise of private judgment whatever,
reiterates in a letter to the Times his former opinions
anent the admission of Protestants, under certain
conditions, to an (Ecumenical Council. The
approaching Council may well follow without being
ashamed of the precedents he has cited. " If the Pope
has been so good as to tell us of our grievous
heresies and peril of eternal death, and entreated
us to consider our awful position and review our
whole situation, and ' avail ourselves of the oppor-
tunity of the Council.' the least we owe or can give is
our accepting the invitation and giving a reply,
justifying as we can the ground on which we stand.
'W here, can all this be accomplished? The Pope plainly
proclaims the approaching Council as the time and
place in a letter addressed to us. So clear is this,
that Dr. Manning, Sir George Bowyer, and I equally
understood the Pope so to invite and expect our
presence." The doctor repeats that he is ready "to
avail himself of the General Council," as required
and invited by Pius IX., as soon as the .Pontiff is
pleased to inform him that he shall be heard in
reply to his earnest entreaty to renounce the Pro-
testant faith and return to the Boman Church. To
this he adds : " I have no desire whatever to
see the spectacle, or to be made conspicuous by
being ordered to leave in twenty-four hours, or by
being ' treated and dealt with' as condemned
heretic,' according to the Pope's instructions to a former
General Council. Strike, but hear,' is my request.
I have gone to work deliberately and carefully, and
now wait for an answer to my letter."

CHARITY.

A cheering story is told by a correspondent of the
Telegraph, one which gives hope, amidst even the
bitter conflict between Protestants and Romanists,
that charity will at last prevail. The communication
is dated from " Carrickmacross, co. Monaghan," and is
written by a land agent. But a few days ago a respect-
able Protestant tenant, on the estate from which
the correspondent writes, was stricken down by
fever; and his whole household succumbed to the
same disease, just when every hour was of conse-
quence to secure the ripened crop on which the
year's sustenance depended. The Roman Catholic
priest of the parish, at chapel, on Sunday, pointed
out to his flock how great a kindness it would be if
the crop of the poor sick neighbour were saved from
the rough weather that had set in just after the
family had been laid " down with the fever." The
hint was immediately taken, and that very Sunday
afternoon—pray, strict Sabbatarians, be not too
exacting—was spent in reaping and gathering in the
corn of the weak and suffering heretics. Before night
it was safely secured. Here is an example, from
which even Mr. Whalley might preach a sermon
(say) on universal brotherhood.

This Hospital, founded in the year 1828, the first to
establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor,
without the delay and difficulty 'of Governors' orders, is
wholly dependent for support on voluntary contributions
and legacies. _ _

It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in
addition to this, the average number of attendance of the
destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be-
tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly.
The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the
benevolent, as the promises of this hospital are capable of
containing several hundred more beds had the Committee
the requisite funds to maintain them.

TWO STRIKES ENDED.

Two strikes came virtually to an end on Saturday.
The discontinuance of the South Yorkshire miners'
strike is recorded elsewhere. While the efforts of
the peacemakers at Denaby Mine were being crowned
with success, in a lesser measure those who were
trying to end the nailera' strike in the Midlands
were finding their endeavours fruitful. The masters
seem to have given in to the men, though not un-
conditionally.

THE CHARACTER OP LOPEZ.
An unequivocal expression of opinion of the cha-
racter of President Lopez was given some time since
by Mr. Washburn, ex-Minister of the United States
in Paraguay. Some newspaper correspondents,
having hazarded the belief that the statements so
made had been retracted, Mr. Washburn denies the
fact in the columns of the Star. Lopez hcsays, has tor-
tured and shot his Foreign Minister, Jose Berges,
and his own brother, Benigno Lopez. He
has shot his Chief Justice, Andres Urda-
pilleta ; also the Bishop of Paraguay and
nearly thirty priests. He has shot his
brother-in-law, General Barrios ; and his other
brother-in-law, Saturnine Bedoya, expired under
torture. He flogged his sister, the wife of General
Barrios, till she was nearly dead, and he forced his
mother to make a public declaration that she had no
child but the brutal monster who had murdered one
or more, and tortured with inhuman cruelty her
other children. The few English and other foreigners
yet alive in Paraguay are permitted to live. by
Lopez only because they are useful to him.

soft bandage being worn round the body, while the requi-
site resisting power is supplied by the Moo-Main Pad and
Patent Lever, fitting with so much ease and closeness that
it cannot be detected, and may be worn during sleep. A

sot fail to fit, forwarded by post, on the circumference of
the body, two inches below the hips, being sent to the

CATTLE PLAGUE IN INDIA.

A cattle murrain is reported from Assam which apears
to be exceptionally fatal. At Debroogurh the river is
full of carcases, and the stench is said to be intolerable.
The disease is not confined to cattle, tigers, wild buffaloes,
and pigs being attacked.

THE UNITED STATES AND CUBA.

The Havana journals do not think that the United
States have made any proposal to Spain for the indepen-
dence of Cuba, and declare that such a proposal would be
rejected. The terms to which Cuba would consent are :
the payment of the price of the public buildings and her
share of the public debt, the independence of the island to
be conceded first. No information with regard to the
action of Spain, or the proposal to sell Cuba has yet been
received at the State department.

LIT ERARY. —We are glad to hear, for the sake of
Mrs. lialpine, that Miles O'Reilly's (General lialpine)
poems have sold so well that his widow gets a comfort-
able fortune from the sales. The Boston Daily Adverti.ser
has been recently sold to a new company for something
less than $250,000.—A San Francisco paper says Pro-
fessor J. D. Whitney, late of the California Geological
Survey, is now in Colorado with a class of students from
the Harvard Scientific School. Tho Professor expects to
visit California previous to his return to the Atlantic
States. it may not be generally known that during the
year and a half or more since the Geological Survey has
been stopped by cutting off its pecuniary support, bath
Professor Whitney and Professor Brewer have been more
or less employed, at their own cost and expense, in com-
pleting such portions of the work of the survey as had
been fully worked up in the field. Professor Whitney has
thus added to the list of the publications of the survey the
second volume of the Paleontology of California, and two
volumes descriptive of the Yosemite Valley —ono entitled
the "Guide Book" to the Yosemite, and the other the
"Gift Book." Tho latter is one of the most beautiful and
unive of American publications. Professor Brewer, we
oelieve, is still devoting what leisure time ho can obtain
from his duties at Sheffield School in work on his report
upon the botany of California.—Mr. Louis J. Jennings,
formetly Now York correspondent of the London Times,
has lately returned to America from Europe, and accepted
a position on the editorial staff of the New York Times.

POLICE PROTECTION.

The season of "police panic" has set in unusually
early this year. Regularly es the dark, gloomy, and
dreary days of November come upon us, so regularly
does the public mind become seriously agitated and
stricken with fear of the criminal classes. But an
attempted murder by a burglar, in a district with few
watchmen, together with a street outrage or two, has
raised the November discussion in the papers before
its time. The "leading journal " has been especially
zealous in calling for the new Chief-Commissioner
of Police to chew his energy. The latest of its stories
relates to the Soutl.l. London district of Peckham, and
runs thus is a certain beershop in St.
George's-road—anotible hauntof the vicious, and the
criminal. The place is feared by all who live around it
but does not give Trim:l trouble to the police, as they
avoid it. A day or two back cries for help were
heard proceeding from the house, and great was the
alarm. Every one was paralysed in the neighbour-
hood except the landlord of a public-house near, and
he sprung a rattle. No policeman came in answer. He
got out a revolver and fired it ; with no result. By
and bye some man with greater courage than the
rest thought of going . near the house but he did
nothing beyond listening, until a returned convict,
the cause of all the disturbance, awoke him from his
trembling astonishment by asking him " what he
wor alistening to," and by knocking him down and
walking off. The sequel to thastory is, that no police-
man would come to the place ; uo inquiry has been
made by them. The inhabitants are about to hold
a meeting to protest against the insecurity which
exists.

TnE IRISH CIILTRCII RECONSTRUCTION.

The Synod of irmagh and Tuam has done very
little business as yet beyond settling the rules which
are to guide the deliberations. One of these rules is
interpreted to possess some signification. A. copy
of the Bible and one of the Prayer-book is to be
laid on the table during each session of the Synod.
This custom is to be understood as" a formal profession
that the Synod was prepared to adhere to the exist-
ing constitution of the Church, which looked to the
Bible as a rule of faith and the Book of Common
Prayer as containing the rule of worship and disci-
pline of the Church." What an adherence to the
existing constitution means in this case we have yet
to see.

TIIII ALBERT INSERANCE OFFICE.

An important letter, dealing with the affairs of
the Albert Assurance Oflice, has been addressed to
Lord William Ilay, chairman of the committee of
annuitants and policy-holders, by Mr. 'Thomas
Webster, Q.C. Three questions, it is pointed out,
will have to be considered by the committee-1. Ordi-
nary liquidation under a winding-up order and distri-
bution at some distant day of the residue of the assets
saved. from the wreck thereby created. 2. Recon-
struction as the means of preserving the interests
present and future, of the annuitants and policy-
holders. 3. So-called amalgamation—that is,
transference as a whole or in sections to another
office or other offices, which would be to the older
and more questionable lives the worst form of liqui-
dation. The committee will be able to suggest the
kind of liquidation essential to reconstruction, to
select from and on behalf of annuitants and policy-
holders persons to engage in the manage-
ment of the reconstructed office, and to submit
the persons so selected to the annuitants and
policyholders for approval. This must be done
without delay, or the connections of the office will
pass away. When the plan of reconstruction is
agreed upon, it is suggested it will be time to ask
some such questions as the following :—Who is
responsible for the amalgamations ? What resulting
liabilities may still attach to those who betrayed
their trust and transferred the policies to another
company? Whether the amalgamations have been
profitable or not ? What was the gain or loss
due to each ? Though the interests of policy-holders
and shareholders are distinct and in some measure
antagonistic, they may, Mr. Webster thinks, be
readjusted on an equitable basis, each giving strength
to the other,
