THE WEATHER.

We have happily escaped from the severest May
on record for many years. In London the closing
days of the month were much colder than the
opening days of February. In Scotland the
thermometer fell to 30 deg. during Friday night.
Early on Saturday the fields around Edinburgh were
white with hoar-frost, and the potato crops have
suffered severely in consequence.

FREE TRADE V. PROTECTION.

The Free Trade agitation in the United States is visibly
gaining strength. If the Tribune be excepted, not et
single New York journal of importance now advocates
Protection. The New York Evening Post, a staunch
Republican journal, announces that the Republicad
party is to be the future Free Trade part,
of the country, and -that it has been for year,
struggling to free itself from the "Protectionist tail."
The New York Times has become a semi-convert. It
believes that it is impossible to establish Free Trade pure
and simple in the United States ; but it goes heartily in
favour of greatly reducing the import duties, and it there.
fore commends the efforts of Mr. Garrison and others.
The doings of the Protectionists, too, are not improving
their position. The mine-owners of Pennsylvania recently
got up a strike amongst their own workmen for the ex.
press purpose of increasing the price of coals. This flag!.
tious proceeding has caused a great outcry against the
prohibitory duties on foreign coal.

THAMES,

HIGHWAY , ROBBERY.—Michael Ryan, a y uth, was
brought before Mr. Pag, t this morning charged with be-
ing-concerned with the notorious Thuhard Keating- and
another with stealing a silver wa.•ch fro:a Charles
Witherick, a boot and shoemaker, of 284, Bethual-green-
road.

The prosecutor was attacked by Keating, the prisoner,
and another ou the 21st of May last iu Dock-street,
Whitechapel, who robbed him of his watch and chain.
Keating has since been convicted and sentenced to ten
year:,' penal servitude. A second man was a!so con-
cerned and sentenced to a long term of imprisonment.
Mr. Wetherick said the prisoner Ryau joined iu the
attack upon him, and was couli.med by John Lynn, a c.,b-
driver.

Foster, 207 ll,•said the prisoner was convicted at the
Middlesex Sessions on the 4th of March, 1867, and sen-
tenced to nine months' imprisonment and hard labour.
Mr. Paget said he would cumuli the prisuuer for trial,
and he would probably meet the well merited fate of his
companions.

The Board of Trade returns for the month and

The results are, on the whole, very favourable. The
declared v due of the exports of British and Irish

£14,575,152 in April, 1868, and £13,801,908 in

CLEticAL MOUBLZS IN AUSTRIA.

A priest of Brejenz, in the Tyrol, was recently rose-
cuted on a charge of " exciting to hatred and contempt"
of the Government in the pulpit. Being acquitted, he
openly threatened to take his revenge upon those who had
borne witness against him. He kept his word. At the
very next sermon which he delivered he designated the
witnesses as liars and perjurers, and invited his congrega.
tion to say a pater on special behalf of these miserable
sinners. It appears that his denunciation did not
prevent others from appearing against him, for he was
sentenced to fifteen days' imprisonment.

TITE SPEAKER 'UPON HORSES.

.Mr. J. Evelyn I)enson is concerned about the
English breed of horses. Not about the useless
'racehorse, which has caused so much discussion of
late, but about the real old English horse, the farmer's
riding horse, which has declined so much since rail-
ways have been the fashion. The half-bred stock
for road and hunting fiald threatens to become
altogether extinct. Before the invention of railways,
every farmer kept a horse to carry him to markets
and fairs. Now, thousands of farmers have
laid aside their riding. horses, and trust mainly to
railways for means of locomotion. Can anything be
done (Mr. Denison asks) to stimulate this reviving
interest ? The means, to be successful, must, he
says, be simple. He would have no faith in joint-
stock companies or any expensive operations. The
effort should be a combined effort of proprietors and
occupiers. The Speaker, therefore, suggests that
gentlemen interested in the subject should meet
together and form an association, and agree
to place two or three good mares in the
hands of tenants on their estates. "In a few
years a great change would be effected and the
of supply foundation would be laid
valuable horses."

whether a person reside in the house or out of it, but if 116
was purely a farm servant he would be exempt from the

TERRIBLE CALAMITY IN MEXICO.

A fearful calamity occurred on the sth of May at Ojo
Caliente, Mexico, by which many lives were lost. During a
thunderstorm an immense body of fire descended upon a
church at a time when a large number of worshippers
were in the building. A rood report, resembling the explo-
sion of a powder magazine, followed, and the roof of the
church was forced in, burying beneath its ruins a large
number of victims. The last accounts state that 40 bodies
and 18 injured persons had been dug out, but the total num-
ber of sufferers had not been ascertained. This misfortune
was caused by oloctro-atmospheric disturbance. Many of
the telegraphic instruments were destroyed in an instant.

The supporters of Sir E. W. Watkin, the late
Liberal member for Stockport, who was unsuccessful at the
last election, presented him with an address on Monday at
the Mechanics' Institute, and Sir Edward, in reply, reviewed
the action of the Liberal party since it came into power;
and with reference to the American difficulty expressed
his belief that if England only displayed temper and mag-
nanimity for a few months longer nothing more would bo
heard of it.
The Select Committee on Parliamentary and
Municipal Elections met again on Tuesday, the Marquis of liar-
tington in the chair. The first witness called was Mr.
M'Cowan, a solicitor in Dumfries. At the last election
he was the agent for Sir Sydney Waterlow. In witness's
opinion a great deal of undue influence was exercised in the
county. Many inducements were held out to the tenants to
vote. There would, however, have been some difficulty in
proving that the factor who influenced the tenants was the
agent of the candid*, ITO& to

A Thornton does not die every year, but nearly
every day now the Board of Inland Revenue has the
pleasure of announcing the receipt of £lOO as " con-

every £lOO represents -.C4,000, it is clear that a good

photographic lenses has diminished, an opportunity has
been afforded for applying mechanical power with the
greatest success, %% hereby the cost of these beautiful and
most perfect instruments is reduced in price in some
instances to as much as 20 per cent.. In fact they are now
no dearer than those of the best French or English makers.

HAN OVER.

It is noteworthy that the semi-official Patr:i of Paris,
being no longer able to assail Belgium with decency,
is directing its waste journalistic steam again.*
Prubsia. A few days ago it announced the' the
visit of Bing William to Hanover was po.eponed solely
because hostile demonstrations on the part of the populace
were to be apprehended. The official and officious paper
now states that the journey has been abandoned altogether,
and for the same reason. The Patric likewise exults in
the thought that Prussia is getting into financial difficul-
ties with her army expenses, and that a new loan will
soon be necessary. It is certainly a bad thing for Prussia
to copy the example of France in this respect. -

THE LORDS AND THE BILL.

The Globe awaits the decision of the Lords with much
anxiety. The Peers cannot resist the national will ; the
nation is well aware of that fact, and it is well assured
that the Peers are aware of it also. There is, there.
fore, no danger of a collision. The danger lest the
Upper House should appear to abdicate the
functions which it is called upon to discharge,
is the only serious one by which the Peers are threatened.
It does not follow that the independent convictions of the
Peers will lead them to reject the bill. They may think that,
taking all the circumstances into account, and especially the
expectations that have been raised in Ireland, they ought
to pass the bill. If so, let them not be deterred from giving
effect to their convictions by the fear of being thought
afraid. The great thing they have to bear in mind
is that they must let the nation know that whatever
course they resolve upon h dictated by the conviction
that it is the right course, and not by any pressure from
without.

The London correspondent of the Western. Daily Press,
writing on the Irish Church Bill, says :—" The opponents
of the measure have received another severe check.
Not only have several of the English bishops expressed
their intention of supporting the bill throughout,
but Lord Westbury, who was reckoned upon to lead the
forlorn hope, and to shew the Government the impolicy of
overlooking an old friend, has deserted their cause. His
lordship has now declined to move the rejection of the bill
on the motion for the second reading in the Lords. It is
said that he expected to receive an invitation to take
that course from Lord Cairns, and that, having failed to
get the invitation, he has gone down to his seat in the
country in high dudgeon, and will, unless he should see
reason to change his mind, be absent from the debate upon
the bill in the Lords."

TERRIBLE CALAMITY IN MEXICO.

A fearful calamity occurred on the sth of May at Ojo
Caliente, Mexico, by which many lives were lost. During a
thunderstorm an immense body of fire descended upon a
church at a time when a large number of worshippers
were in the building. A loud report, resembling the explc-
sion of a powder magazine, followed, and the roof of the
church was forced in, burying beneath its ruins a large
number of victims. The last accounts state that 40 bodies
and 18 injured persons had been dug out, but the total num-
ber of sufferers had not been ascertained. This misfortune
was caused by electro-atmospheric disturbance. Many of
the telegraphic instruments were destroyed in an instant.

The supporters of Sir E. W. Watkio, the late
Lileeral member for Stockport, who was unsuccessful at the
last election, presented Lim with an address on Monday at
the Mechanics' Institute, and Sir Edward, in reply, reviewed
the action of the Literal party since it came into power;
and with reference to the American difficulty expressed
his belief that if England only displayed temper and mag-
nanimity for a few months longer nothing more would ho
heard of it.
The Select Committee on Parliamentary and
Municipal Elections met again on Tuesday, the Marquis of liar-
tington in tho chair. The first witness called was Mr.
M'Cowan, a solicitor in Dumfries. At the last election
he was the agent for Sir Sydney Waterlow. In witness's
opinion a great deal of undue influence was exercised in the
County. Many inducements were held out to the tenants to
vote. There would, however, have been some difficulty in
proving that the factor who intlut•nced the tenants was the
agent of the candidate. Undue influence ivag brought to
boar on both sides,

PEACE POLICY OF TILE AMERICAN GOVEDNMENT.

The evidence that Mr. Motley has arrived in
England to carry out a policy of peace accumulate/
rapidly. The new Ambassador's speeches are quite
as reassuring as Mr. Reverdy Johnson's, thongh
undoubtedly far more temperate. All intelligence
from the other side of the Atlantic skews that the
American Government is equally anxious to avoid
war, and that state of doubt 'and anxiety which is
scarcely less disastrous than war. On the
18th of May a telegram from Washington, inspired
by the State department, was published at Phila-
Elphia. It announced that "no one in executive
and diplomatic circles apprehends serious difficulties
with England." The New York Times says that
the " President has spoken his mind pretty freely
about the manner in which foreign affairs are con-
sidered by the Senate, and in a way not at all com-
plimentary to that body." It is added that the English
Embassy had, up to the day of rejecting the
Alabama treaty, positive assurances that it would be
postponed until December. With these facts before
them, it is claimed that the rejection of the treaty
was the effect of temporary excitement, and not the
exhibition of cool, dispassionate statesmanship.
The Times Philadelphia correspondent says that
the instructions carried away by Mr. Motley were
very voluminous, and represented the moderate
views of the Secretary of State, and not the - extra-
vagant demands of Senator Sumner. The question
of England's moral responsibility for the results of
her neutrality proclamation of May 1861 is still in-
sisted on, however, as a proper subject for reference
to arbitration, and if it is decided against England,
the United States will present for payment by
England the damages decided to result therefrom.

THE SALE OF LIQUORS ON SUNDAY.

A meeting of members of Parliament and other gentle-
men was convened at the Westminster Palace Hotel, on
Tuesday, fur the purpose of conferring on the best mode of
supporting Mr. Rylands's motion in the House on
the 22nd, and also for considering future parliamentary
action in favour of stopping the sale of intoxicatingliquors
on Sunday. The following is the motion referred to :
"That in the opinion of this House, it is expedient that
any measure for the general amendment of the laws for
licensing public-houses, beerhouses, and refreshment-
houses, should include the prohibition of the sale of liquors
on Sunday." The chair was taken by Mr. Bazley, M.P.,
and amongst those present were Mr. Thomas Whitworth,
M.P., Mr. Alderman Carter, Mr. Dickinson, M.P.
Mr. Cawley, M.P., and Mr. R. W. Whitworth.
Mr. BAZLEY expressed regret at the absence of Mr.
Rylands, and hinted at the great benefits that would
accrue to the community from the closing of public-houses
on Sunday. The question was one of difficulty. All that
the Legislature could do was to diminish the means of
temptation. Though perhaps comparatively few changes
could be made this session, it would be of extreme advan-
tage that the minds of members of Parliament should
be impressed with the importance of the subject.
The rev. E. MATTIILWS stated to the meeting what
steps had been taken to get a bill introduced into Parlia-
ment by Mr. Candlish. In the meantime, Mr. Rylands's
motion bad been brought forward, and the committee
determined to co-operate with him. A discussion in Par-
liament would, he believed, be of immense advantage, as
the evidence taken before Mr. Abel Smith's committee
had been circulated through the press to a very limited
extent only.

Mr. EDWARD JACKSON proposed the following resolu•
tions :-1. That a thorough discussion in Parliament
would be most beneficial, and that members be requested
to support each other, to prevent the question being
shelved. 2. That the Central Association correspond
with members favourable to the cause, with the object of
attaining united action in Parliament.

The resolutions were seconded by the Rev. G. IV.
M'Cree, who declared as one reason for closing the housed
that the influence of Sunday-schools on the young was
materially deteriorated by the temptation offered by their
being opened on that day.
Mr. Alderman CARTER, M.P., thought the bill ought
bu contain a clause compelling the houses to be opened on
the Sunday for ordinary refreshment, though not for the
sale of intoxicating liquors.
Mr. BAZLEY reminded the meeting that it was very
possible that the question before them would have to be
considered in the bill on the regulation of licenses to be
brought in next session by Mr. Bruce.
Mr. CAWLEY, M.P., and several other gentlemen having
taken part in the discussion, in the course of which it was
stated that the report of the parliamentary committee of
last session was regarded by a great many as not being in
accordance with the evidence, the resolutions were carried
unanimously.
