THE POL:CE AGAIN.

What has come to the London police ? Has the
hot weather destroyed their mental and moral
balance ? A few days ago we told the story of the
three bank clerks who were charged with being
drunk and disorderly in the Haymarket. Three or
four policemen swore to the fact till they were nearly
black in the face, but for all that Mr. Knox refused
to believe them, and denounced them with great
severity. Here is another case. A lady was walking
quietly in Hyde Park, when she was pounced upon
by a policeman, charged with furious riding, and, in
spite of her protest that she had not been on a horse
for weeks, was dragged off to the police station.
Hero she was duta.:ned until her husband was
sent for. He was able to bring irrefragable
evidence that his wife had not ridden at
all at the time specified; nevertheless, other
policemen came formrl to swear that she had. The
case was dismissed, the mn,r'strate thereby shelving
what valve ho attached to the evidence of the police.
The justly-angered hurband laid the matter before
Colonel Henderson, but the Chief Commissioner of
Police replied that he would take no notice of it,
and ,that if the complainant wished to have
the police indicted for perjury he must
undertake the prosecution on his own account.
Really this sort of thing is becoming intolerable.
The most Lonest and inoffensive among us will soon
be no longer safe against an attack by the guardians
of the public peace, and-unless we are able to bring
witnesses to prove how we spent every moment of
our time there is no reason why we should not have
to spend three months in prison for an offence said to
have been committed when we were in bed and asleep.

A SCANDINAVIAN UNION.

A great demonstration in favour of a union or alliance
between the Scandinavian States of Denmark, Sweden,
and Norway was held near Copenhagen a few days ago.
Ten thousand Swedes, Dane; and Norwegians assembled.
This great meeting was in every sense a representative
one. There was a delegate from the extreme west of
Jutland, another from the far north of Norway, and three
Danish patriots came from Schleswig. Speeches were
delivered in all three languages. The necessity of a political
union between the Scandinavian States was urged as the
only means of insuring them from the aggressions of their
powerful neighbours, and the expediency of developing
their naval and military forces was strongly insisted on.
The Scandinavians, like the more southern peoples, are be-
ginning to learn that unity is strength. Sweden has
suffered from the encroachments of Russia, and Denmark
from the rise of the Prussian monarchy. The experience
does not seem to have been altogether lost.

UR. GRENVILLE MURRAY.

Some further correspondence is published be-
tween the Conservative Club and Mr. Murray.
The Secretary of the club informs Mr. Murray
that a meeting is about to be held to consider his
conduct as to his dismissal from the consulship at
Odessa and his connection with the Queen's Meosenger.
Mr. Murray, in reply, complains of the treatment he
has received, asks for written interrogatories to
which he shall have time to reply, and requests a
postponement of the question of consulship. With
regard to the Queen's Messenger, he enters into a
long story about it. He speaks of it as if he had no
personal knowledge of it, using the phrase, " I
am informed," when stating any fact con-
cerning it. When the raper commenced, ho
rays, it was conducted by members of six London
clubs. It especially assailed Mr. Bidwell, whom it
charged with appropriating all the patronage for
those from whom he received bribes. Some pro-
ceedings took place which led to litigation in
Chancery, still pending. Mr. Bidwell got frienas to
help him, and a "conspiracy" was formed. It got
abroad that Mr. Murray was editor, and the result
was the assault by Lord Carington. Mr. Murray
protests that on this evidence he should not be
udged.

TH E CROPS.

The Mark Lane Express, in its review of the grain trade
during the past wet k, says :—" Anw her week, after opening
with a thunderstotm, has brought exactly the weather we
needed to hasten to matu. ity our backward harvest, and it
seems likely to give us a full week or more of benefit as to
reaching maturity. But the gardeners and the graziors are
b. ginning to cry out for rair, and so it is in several parts
of Europe. TLo rew crop of hay will therefore soon be
drawn upon, and we are sorry to hear there are many
stocks heated, the sap in the grass this season being more
abundant than calculated by some who were hasty in
getting it up. Oats, too, and barley would be benefted by
general showers, and the wheat might work more kindly."
The Nenagh Guardian, speaking of the crops of Tipperary,
says " The farmers in this district are manifesting the
most painful anxiety for rain, Experienced farmers, how-
ever, state that there need be no cause for apprch nsion for
a fortnight to come. The present weather has been most
servicuble to potato growing and hay making ; the potatoes
have grown as if in a hotbed, and the meadows in this
part of the country having been nearly all mown and
the hay cocked. Cereals promise to be an average crop, the
ea: s of wheat and oats looking very full and healthy; po-
tatoes, if spared the blight, and there is not, we are happy
to state, the smallest whisper of it here, will show a good
return, both as to quality and quantity; and as for fodder
there will be no dearth, as any shortness in straw will be
compensated by the abundant yield. The harvest will be a
fortnight later than last year's."
A Sligo paper says :—" We regret to say that the
weather is not at all as favourable as farmers would wish it
to be. However, the crops look well, but want a supply of
the sun's warmth to ripen them. New potatoes are now
plentiful in our markets, and are selling at bd. and 6d. per
stone. There is no appearance of the blight whatever, but
the late north-westerly wind Las done some damage to the
stalks."

SECURITINS DEPOSITED WITH BANKERS.

" As safe as a bank " is a common expression, and
until the Privy Coun2il said otherwise, people
thought that for anything deposited with a banker
he was responsible. The Judicial Committee, how-
ever, gave a very different opinion. Securities de-
p, s:ted in a bank, it was decided, were so deposited
at the owner's risk, as the bankers were mere
gratuitous bailees. Depositors, therefore, are look-
ing about for the means of indemnifying them-
vlves in case of loss, and a Fidelity Safe
Deposit Company is proposed. Let all bankers
unite, charge a percentage on valuables left,
and they will, it is thought, make a small profit,
and be able at the same time to indemnify all losses.

AN AMERICAN UNIVERSITY.

The Americans have undoubtedly gone ahead of us in
their university system. Whilst we in England are
slowly and laboriously" throwing our universities open"
and bringing them within the means of the poor, the
Americans have adopted the opposite principle. They have
decided to found establishments for higher education
which from the first shall not exceed the means of the
poor. The p:an seems to work well. Very favourable
reports are given of Cornell University, which was esta-
blished on the principle of educating young men, and
yet allowing them to earn their living at the same time
Some of the most successful students are to
be found amongst the humblest grades. One lad,
who has taken the English prizes in the scientific course
and in German, supported himself by earning porter's
wages in one of the University buildings. Another,
whose average attainments exceeded those of any other
student, was a librarian's assistant and waiter at the
students' table. The New York Tribune says there is work
about the farm and grounds for all who want to do it, at
a fixed sum per hour. Still better, perhaps, there is an
opening here for mechanics and skilled artisans, who, while
following their respective crafts, can at the rame time
pursue any branch of learning for which they have a
fancy. There are carpenters working early and late with
the chisel and the plane, and going to class with the young
men of independent means. There are masons, plasterers,
cabinet-makers, painters, farmers, who come to the recita-
tion mums fresh from the manual tasks by which they
earn their subsistence, and printers who set type at all
spare hours in the Ithaca printing offices, or the rooms of
the University press. There are two workmen from
England who have even built themselves a cottage in the
intervals of their studies.

COMSIERCE AND CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT.
French politics are just new watched with the greatest
interest by commercial men. Should the Emperor make
up his mind to firmly establish Constitutional Govern-
ment, and to adopt a really liberal policy, there can be no
doubt that the result will be an immense increase of con•
fidence in commercial circles. Enterprise of every kind
would receive a decided stimulus. The Daily News, in
its money article, says that it is difficult to form any
adequate conception of the vast amount of money lying
dormant in France through lack of confidence. Some idea
of what is possible in the future may be gathered from a
review of the vast strides which Austria has made under
a constitutional system. There the money of the people
Las flowed out in a volume that is perfectly astonishing.
The Austrians are now constructing all their railways and
public works without the aid of foreign capital. They
profess to be altogether beyond the necessity of raising
more foreign loans.

TEETH. - JEWEL-POINTED iNSTRUMVNTS ; a
reatise on their safety. comfort, and efficiency in the
cleansing and improvement of Natural Teeth. By A. ESKELL,
Consulting Dental Practitioner, of 8, Grosvenor-street, Gros-

34-R. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
A Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the closest observer; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

A SOCIAL WANT.

Mr. Justice Hayes made some very just and sen-
sible remarks to the Newcastle jury a day or two
since. There were two cases of manslaughter in the
calendar, both—as is so often the case—originating
in drunkenness, ' which, Justice Hayes observed,
judging from the calendar of the whole
county, was the prevailing vice of the work-
ing classes. It was, he said, very unfortu-
nate that there was no amusement or means of
relaxation for the industrial classes excepting the
public-house and beerhouse. Some sort of intellec-
tual amusement would be far more attractive if once
people were able to appreciate it, and our working
men not only worked hard, but possessed great
intelligence and received good wages. The
horrible habit of drunkenness was the parent of all
crime, and its prevalence shewed the ignorance of
our industrial classes, though they might have special
aptitude in their particular vocations. It is to be
wished some of the working man's professed friends
would turn their attention to his social requirements
as well as to his political wants.
London, England, 1869-07-21

AN OLD POLITICL N ON THE CRISIS.

Mr. Brand, the member for Cambridgeshire and
the late Liberal Whip, writes to the Times on the
disposal of the surplus, very earnestly protesting
against the postponement of the question. The
non-settlement of the question would, he thinks, be
most pernicious. In Ireland it would lead to agita-
tion, unwholesome excitement, and forcer war
bitween the already too much divided classes. Every
creed, every- class, every interest, would be con-
tinually urging- its claims upon Parliament fir a
share of the fund. The Churchman would regard it as
his own ; a claim which would be constantly and justly
resisted by Presbyterians and Roman Catholics. All
sects would demand it for sectarian education; and there
would not be wanting those who would demand it
for concurrent 'endowment. The landed interest
would sit rip a claim in respect of the improvement
of estates, and the towns in respect of local works.
The railway and other powerful interests would swell
the train of applicants. "In short (exclaims Mr.
Brand) it would be a scramble for money, leading
to the corruption and demoralisation of a whole
nation." In the United Kingdom equally bad results
would ensue. Legislation, the hon. member declares,
would be at a deadlock. The question can be settled
this session. Why hand it over to another to cause
more ill-feeling continually ? The sooner the subject
is set on one side the better; the better for the,
interests of the country, the better for the interesto

"THE MIDDLE PASSAGE."

Two hundred of the steerage passengers who sailed, a
week or two ago, from Liverpool to New York, in the
Inman steamer City of Paris, have signed a protest
against the treatment they experienced during the voyage
They affirm that the accommodation was not nearly
equal to the number of steerage passengers—above 1,000—
taken on board. The provisions were bad ; the bread not
half baked ; fresh meat was served out only once ; the
fish was salt and badly cooked ; and the potatoes " were
of the worst possible kind." The passengers affirm that
only one cook and one assistant were furnished to cater
for this army of people. Since the recent impulse given
to the emigration movement, instances of overcrowding
have become very common. The subject deserves investi-
gation.

CRIMP: IN IRELAND.

There never was so thoroughly Irish a country as
Ireland. Everything there is contradictory and
anomalous. For instance, at this present moment
the judges are travelling from town to town, and
declaring that there is hardly any crime. The gaols
are almost empty, and, in fact, the people are the most
orderly and law-observing in the world, except with
regard to two departments, religion and the land.
Religion makes them resort to illegal meetings,
where they break each other's heads ; the land makes
them fire at landlords and magistrates and bailiffs.
And the worst of it is that in the popular estimation
neither religious riot nor agrarian assassination is
thought a crime by the people. Rather the person
guilty of either is thought a hero ; and so it is
impossible to obtain evidence, and the criminal goes
free.
London, England, 1869-07-21

A SLIGHT D FFERENCE.

Two very different reports appear in the papers of
a meeting at Chelsea addressed by Sir Charles Di
M.P. The reporters seem to have gone with the
intention of hearing only those things which were in
accordance with the principles of the respective
papers they represented. The Daily News report,
for instance, tells us that Sir Charles especially ap-
proved of the way in which the Commons bad dis-
posed of the surplus. The Times, on the other hand,
represents the member for Chelsea as being very
angry at the surplus being handed over to the land-
lords, and as ridiculing the notion of the landlords
being "poor and afflicted." When two suchauthorities
as these differ, how can one tell what Sir Charles
Dilke really did say ? Still another account is to the
effect that the hon. member was in favour of the
disposal of the surplus being postponed, so that it
might be used for Mr. Bright's land scheme if he
brought one in next year. Putting all these accounts
together, the only conclusion that can be drawn is
that Sir Charles thought the lunatic scheme bad,
concurrent endowment worse, and advocated the
postponement of the question. This construction,
however, is open to correction.

IN EXPLANATION.

Mr. Melly, M.P. for Stoke, has been publishing in
the Times some severe remarks upon certain of the
members who took part in the debate on Friday
night upon the Irish Church Bill. He supposes that
they accused their brethren of a liking for con-
current endowment which they did not dare
exhibit. In ether words, he charges them
with charging him and other Liberal M.P.'s
of hypocrisy. Mr. Torrens, M.P. for Finsbury,
and Mr. Morrison, M.P. for Plymouth, write to deny
this accusation. Both agree in stating that the
phantom of concurrent endowment . having been
effectually disposed of, the House was free to consider
if there were not other better means of disposing the
Pri rplus than that proposed by Mr. Gladstone. Mr.
Torrens siys he " could not remember hear.ng any
one in private on either side of the House defend
the giving of £200,000 or £300,000 a year to the land-
lords under the name of county rate." Mr. Morrison de-
clares that he decidedly obi ects to any part of the surplus
being devoted to the relief of the rates of the Irish
landlords and tenants. He adds, that it is notorious
that a large number of Liberal M.P.'s object to any
such api,lication ; that at a meeting of Irish Liberals
held on Thursday Clause 68 was almost unanimously
condemned, and a resolution was agreed to, with
only one or two dissentients, in favour of appro-
priating the surplus to the development of the in-
dustrial resources of Ireland, and the postponement
of the matter for a year. As for concurrent endow-
ment, Mr. Morrison has always been most resolutely
opposed to it, and he has voted against it on the only
two occasions when the question arose.

THE AFFAIRS AT NATAL.

The Guardian publishes a long series of letters between
Mr. Macrorie and &ther clergymen in the diocese of
Natal. In the first of these letters Mr. Macrorie states he
does not conslder himself a bishop of the Church
of England but a bishop of the Church of Christ,
in communion with the Church of England. He
does not think that it is wrong to take up that position,
seeing that there is no church established in Natal. He as
much as others regrets that it should have been necessary
:0o do what has been done, but as there is no constitutional
means for deciding the questions in dispute, the steps taken
could not be avoided. "W. 0. Newnham," of Landismith,
points out in another correspondence that there is already
a bishop in the district in communion with the Church-of
England. Ho censures Mr. Macrorie for having excommu-
nicated him, because—while he would have allowed
Mr. Macrorie to confirm at Landismith Church—
he still acknowledged Dr. Coleus° as his metropolitan.
He tells Mr. Macrorie that while the clergy are equally
divided as to his coming there the laity are opposed to it. In
reply to Mr. Macrorie, says he does not excommunicate him,
only that he does not recognise him. In a second letter,
however, the Bishop of Maritzburg says that as Mr. Newn-
barn is preaching without a license ho has excommunicated
himself.

VELOCIPEDOMANLt.

• Those who are thinking about learning and using
the velocipede may be interested in the fact that on
Tuesday the Newcastle magistrates fined a boy for
riding the new vehicle on the footpath. Incapable
of being used on rough roads, turned off the foot-
path, excluded from the London park s, frowned
down by those who are not fond of cc new hobbies,"
the velocipede has certainly a deal of difficulty to
strive against. But the Post-office authorities, always
economical, have substituted the " dandy-charger "
for the corn-consuming horses which used to convey
the postmen in, mountainous Wales.

THE ISIS V. THE CAM.

Cambridge University hopes by improving its
river to obtain means ere long of beating Orford in
the annual rowing match. Oxford objects to be
beaten ; and Sir George Bowyer, as representing it,
suggests that the Isis shall be improved as well as
the Cam. The Isis overflows its banks e.t uncertain
seasons; the inundatiou is unhealthy and incon-
venient. For .?(5,000 it might be prevented. Sir
George suggests that the money be immediately
raised by subscription.

EVENING, MAY 13, 1.869.

British Minister would venture to entertain, even
though he had, a majority twice as large as Mr.
Gladstone s. It is all very melancholy and very
absurd.

The Hon. Williani Barrington is appointed to the
Legation at Copenhagen as second secretary. Mr.
Barrington is, we believe, a brother of
_Viscount
Barrington, who was Lord Derby's private secretary
for some time. It may be presumed that merit,
rather than political influence, has led to this- pro-
motion.

for the operations of the Free Trade League were supplied
by foreign manufacturers. In other words, that native
Americans received money from foreign countries to get
up an agitation to the prejudice of their countrymen's
industry. It is hardly necessary to remark that there is
not the slightest foundation for such a statement.

SUDDEN DEATHS.

The number of sudden deaths during the last few
clays has been remarkable. In addition to those of
Mr. Wescomb and Sir Wentworth Dilke, the sudden
death of Sir Edward W etherall, th e Perm anent Under-
Secretary for Ireland, is announced. Sir Edward
was a military man who had office at the Horse
°bards, but just as Mr. Maraeh's Government
was in es: : ends was appointed Under-Secretary for
Ireland, a post not usually assigned to a mili-
tary man. The ai paintment gave rise to a
good deal of adverse criticism, and also to a debate
in the House of Commons. On that occasion the
Government intimated that though they did not
intend to remove Sir Edward Wetherall, they should
take the earliest opportunity of offering him suitable
military employment. It is but about a fortnight
ago that one of the military papers stated that he
had been appointed to the command of a division in
India. This statement was subsequently contra-
dicted, and now we have the news of Sir Edward's
sudden death on Tuesday night at his official residence.
Beside the gentlemen above mentioned who,
during the last few days, have died suddenly, we
.have accounts of the almost instantaneous decease of
the Rev. J. W. Massie D.D., LL.D., in Ireland, and
Mr. Thomas Joyce, formerly editor of the Morning
Chronicle, and then of the Levant Herald. Mr.
Joyce arrived in London on the day of his death.
He fell down
w Conveyedin one of the streets insensible,
as
to a police-station on a stretcher, and
died shortly afterwards of apoplexy.
