TIIE LEADERSHIP IN THE LORDS.

The John Bull gives forth the strange announce-
ment that the Duke of Marlborough is to be the new
leader in the House of Lords. The appointment
seems przinei facie an unlikely one. The other weekly
papers almost unanimously fix upon the Earl of
Derby for the post ; and they discuss the
question whether the thoughtful, cold, logical,
unenthusiastic despiser of clericalism, could
bring the party round to him. If the John Bull
be correct, the conclusions they arrive at are of little
importance ; but our contemporary speaks by no
means definitely. It may therefore be interesting to
know that both the Spectator and the Saturday
_Review agree in speaking doubtfully of his lordship.
What is his policy, they ask, in the matter of
the University Tests ? Where will he be found
on the subject of education ? W hat about all
religious difficulties? Is he not in all such cases
separated from his party ? The New Zealand policy
of the Government, too, would probably win his sup-
port, or would not meet with other than half-hearted
opposition. The Economist, on the other hand,
thinks Lord Derby's cautiousness, his clearness, his
hatred of opposition except where it would be suc-
cessful, the very thing the Conservatives want.
The London correspondent of the Leeds Mercury
says that the Earl of Derby declines for the present
to commit himself so far as to assume any respon-
sible position in connection with the Conservative
party ; and Lord Salisbury, though very ambitious,
and determined eventually to lead the Tories, not
only in the Lords, but in the Commons, declines to
comply with the preliminary condition which
is just now required of him, that of obedience
to Mr. Disraeli. "It is more than probable, under
these circumstances, that Lord Cairns will reappear
next session in the position which he occupied in the
last session of Parliament; though the matter may
be otherwise arranged by the promotion of the Duke
of Abercorn or the Duke of Richmond to the
leadership."

CHEAP POSTAGE BETWEEN FRANCE AND AMERICA.

The New York journals arc very indignant with the
French Government. Senator Ramsey, of Minnesota, has
taken a voyage across the Atlantic, for the express purpose
of negotiating' a postal treaty with France, but has re-
turned disconsolate, being unable to corning the Minister
of Finance that a reduction in the rate of postage would
be advantageous to both countries. The existing
treaty expires on the Ist of January, and all the
European Powers are anxious for its expiration, as they
have been unable to negotiate postal treaties with France,
and hope that America may be more successful. At
present the rate from America to France is 30 cents for
half-ounce letters, to Germany 10 cents, and to
England 12 cents. Senator Ramsey proposed 10 cents for
half ounce letters to France, but was willing to agree t•
12. The French, however, would not hear of the change.

THIS DAY.

The great annual show of the Smithfield Cattle
Club was held at the Agricultural-hall this day.
The number of beasts entered is greater than last
year, and they all appear to be in excellent con-
dition. The representatives of the press were not
confined to the galleries during the judging,
so that a better opportunity was presented of
noticing the peculiarities of the animals.
The Queen's contribution to class 1, and which has
taken the third prize, is a fine compact brown ox,
and the first prize in the same class is a much larger
animal, but to the unintiated its superiority consists
merely in its size. Mr. C. Ham bre's ox, No. 16,
is a fine specimen of breeding ; and her Majesty's
prize in class 11 is a beast of the best description.
The sheep, as a whole, are remarkably fine ; and
the pigs, always a great attraction in the show, this
year exceed all former exhibitions. They are
gigantic cylinders of fat, and, as usual, they seem
totally incapacitated for locomotion.
His Royal Highness the Prince of %Vales, at-
tended by Gen. Knollys, Major Grey, and Gen.
Kingston, visited the hall, and after inspecting the
various classes of animals expressed his satisfaction
at the Show. There were an enormous number
of agricultural machines on view, but another op-
portunity will present itself of our entering into
particulars relative to them.

THI- FAMINE FEVER IN LONDON.

Oh Saturday the meeting of the London District
Asylum Board was held, at which Dr. Brewer, M.P.,
presided. A report was presented from the Special
Fever Committee, which had been in communication with
the Privy Council Office, and with the Poor-law Board,
with reference to the increase of relapsing (or famine)
fever in the metropolis. The result of com-
munications with these authorities was, that the
committee recommended that a new temporary fever hos-
pital should be at once erected at Hampstead, in addi-
tion to the new one to be opened next week on the
grounds of the London Fever Hospital, in the Liverpool-
road, and also that the Admiralty should be asked
to allow certain places on the south side of the Thames
to bo used as temporary fever hospitals. The chairman
stated that in place of the two parishes in London in which
the fever was discovered a few weeks ago, now 32 out of
the 37 of the metropolitan districts contributed cases. The
report was adopted after a short discussion.

BAIL AND WIRE.

The Railway News announces that the London,
Chatham, and Dover Company have finally made
arrangements for placing the combined steam
carriage of Mr. Robert Fairlie on their
line, for the purpose of testing its suita-
bility for passenger traffic. The carriage, which
is worked by a steam bogie, forms in itself a complete
train, with accommodation for fifty or one hundred
passengers.—The Government has consented to lend
a ship (the Brisk) to the International Mid-Ocean
Telegraph Company, to be moored in the Channel
as a floating station. The position selected for
this experimental ship is off Penzance
harbour, some sixty miles out at sea. The uses of
these mid-ocean stations, of which this is to be the
first, will be various. Ships may call and announce
their approach homeward, which will be immediately
telegraphed to London. Outward bound vessels may
get their sailing orders, &c. The Brisk will be in
electrical communication with the Penzance Post
Office, and a steam-tug will act as her tender.

EQUALITY.
The Americans began to run their trains, as they
began everything else, upon the equality principle.
No distinctions were to be tolerated. There
were to be no varieties of carriage, but one
class and one fare. This system is fading away. A.
superior kind of car, with the most luxurious and
complete accommodation, is rapidly coming into use
on the American lines. It is not called a first class ;
but it provides greater comforts (being far superior
to anything on this side the Atlantic), and the price
is higher—two changes which pretty well abolish the
equality system.

FOX HUNTING.
Mr. E. A. Freeman condemned fox-hunting. as a
barbarous sport in the columns of the Fortnightly
Review. Another distinguished writer, Mr. Anthony
Trollope, writes in the same periodical on the other
side. Never was the case of the national sport better
put. The fox likes the fun, in the first place ; and
its lot is much better than that of many other
animals, birds, and insects that aro killed for the
benefit or the amusement of man. There can be no
comparison, says Mr. Trollope, between a fox-hunt
and a bull-fight. In the former case the death of
the fox is no part of the pleasure of the sport, for not
more than ten or twenty perhaps out of the whole
field ever see more of poor Beynard's short
agony than " a bit of fur hanging to a
hound's mouth, or a bloody jaw." The
chase is everything. In the case of a bull-fight
the entire snort is obtained from the torture and
death of the animal. limiting, too, is the best enjoy-
ment for a hard-worked, educated- man. It develops
numerous good qualities. It is well known that the
Duke of Wellington always encouraged the sport
amongst his officers, because it made them not only
good riders, but pathfinders and pioneers, and accus-
tomed them to seize at a glance the principal points
of a country for military operations. Hunting main-
tains the breed of horses, and it maintains the breed
of foxes, too, for had it not been for the sport, the
animal would long azo _have disanneared from. the

GREAT STORM IN AMERICA

The United States have been visited by a very severe
storm, which appears to have taken a very wide range. The
city of Georgetown, Colorado, has been partly destroyed by
a tornado, which occurred on the 18th of November, when
the storm seems to have begun. The lower part of the city
is in absolute ruins, and a large number of families are
houseless. During the heaviest gale the air was filled with
parts of trees, stones, and articles of every description.
Among the prominent buildings destroyed is a new Epis-
copal Church, and the loss of property generally was
very great. In Denver, Colorado, where great da-
mage was also done ; the storm is said to have
been the severest ever known in that part. A long list of
disasters is reported from the Lakes, and on the Upper Mid
son the gale did immense mischief. The Chicago Post
records the loss of three vessels and eight lives at
Grass Point, ono of them unfortunately being that
of a brave sailor who went to a wreck to
rescue the crew. At Newbury great injury was done
to the shipping, seven vessels being sunk at the
wharves, and others driven against the docks. Boa.
ton was startled by the fall of the old Coliseum, which
was in process of demolition. At Albany a foundry
was destroyed, while in New York itself there was a general
flooding of basements and destruction of chimrevs and wi-
dows. This was on the 21st and 22d ult.

POLITICS IN RITTLANDSIIIIIE.

The lion. G. J. Noel, M.P., the Conservative
Whip, has been making a very fair speech
in Butlaudshire. With respect to Ireland, he
thought the Government had erred in allowing the
agitation to get so much headway. The feeling
of insecurity which had been engendered
must operate very seriously for evil. Mr.
Noel treats the idea of compensation for
improvements as thoroughly conceded by all
English politicians ; and he is likewise of opinion
that leases would do good in some parts; but the
Conservative party will never, he is sure, consent to
fixity of tenure. The Conservative Whip is dissatis-
fied with the Contagious Diseases (Animals) Act of
last session ; but he freely admits that Mr. Forster
did his best to make the bill effectual. Mr. Noel
would have all foreign cattle slaughtered at the port
of debarkation.

LOICDOI4DERRY RIOTS.

The two Royal Commissioners who were appointed
to investigate the recent disturbances at Londonderry
have issued their report. They make important
recommendations regarding the preservation of the
peace, and the prevention of party displays in the
city, and suggest that the same course should be
pursued as in Belfast after the riots there. They
suggest that the city police be abolished, and be
replaced by constabulary. Changes in the magistracy
ought likewise to be made. The apprentice boys are
not to possess cannon.

"FIXITY" AND "SECURITY."
The supporters of tenant right in Ireland are discuss-
ing an expression; the battle wages between "fixity"
and " security." The reforming tenants mostly support
the phrase " fixity of tenure," the landlords " security
of holding." There is not unlikely to be a smart dis-
cussion on the subject by the Mountmellic Guardians
at their next meeting. A. resolution supporting
" fixity " is to be seconded by Lord Portarhngton,
who will (he announces) move the substitution of the
landlord's words for that used in the original notice.

to have friends so long as I eideavour to serve
my employers in a manner in which I also would
wish to be served. I have not room to say more,
further than to tell you that I like the country and
the people very much. His Excellency the Presi-
dent is the principal friend I have. You would be
pleased to hear of his Excellency's many repeated
acts of kindness to me. You probably already know
much of this country from those who have been here
and returned to you again, but perhaps no other
Englishman (with the exception cf Capt. --) is
better able to speak of it, by comparison with other
nations, than myself ; for after I left your service
and entered as an engineer officer in the service
of her Majesty, I visited nearly every nation of
the old world, and I am able to say, speaking
generally that the people here are immeasurably
superior to the people of England or of any other
nation I have yet seen in one great respect--
namely, they are Christians not in name only but
in practice. All that you have heard of their
bravery has not beqn overrated ; thyare brave be-
cause they are good. And my happiest reflection
here is, that I am an humble serTant of such a
noble race of people." Several Mash subjects

The Russian Government is determined to impose its
barbarism as well as its civilisation upon Poland. Russia
is the only European State which retains the old Julian
calendar, and yet the Government has ordered that
Poland, who adopted the Gregorian computation of time
three centuries ago, shall change it for the obsolete Julian.
Surely it is not essential to the subjugation of Poland that
its progress should be dragged back in every particular to
the point where Russia's begins.

TIIE TURF.

According to "Meteor " the Turf has been living
too fast and is obliged to pull up. The glory of the
" plunging " days is over, "swells " have gone the
length of their tether ; and Admiral Rous's prophecy,
that the January entries would be very bad, has
turned out true. For all the 1,000 sovs. added to the
small sweepstakes of 25 sovs. each, 15 forfeit, there
are only a dozen four-year-olds and upwards
deemed good enough to nominate in this stake,
although all the great winners during the two
preceding years are penalised, and " maidens " are
allowed 71b. or 121 b. But for the superabunlince of
gambling nandicaps some twenty or thirty gentlemen
might have thought it worth their while to reserve
their second-rate horses for such a rich plum. Sir
Joseph Hawley
evidently intends to lead the radical
reformers of the national pastime, for he has given
notice of his intention to move three bold resolu-
tions at the general meeting of the Jockey Club,
held in the Two Thousand week. They are to the
effect that no two-year-old shall run in a handicap
throughout the year, or in any race before the Ist of
July, or in a stake to which money shall be added
from the funds of the Jockey Club. But the great
question is the Derby—will it be run this year ? As
yet there is no certain answer, though the Daily
_Yews devotes two columns to the discussion of the
matter. One fact there is : a new course is being
made, and the Telegraph believes that it will be
available by Epsom week.

STATE OF TRADE.

BRADFORD, Jan. 11.—Wool and Worsted—Not-
withstanding the great firmness of the Liverpool
cotton market, and the firmer tone assumed
by staplers, the aggregate amount of busi-
ness transacted in wool is only small. Spin-
ners generally are well supplied with wool,
and are operating only just to cover small
orders coming to hand. There is a gene-
ral holding out for late rates. Prices are
still against the buyer. The better sorts of wool,
which are most in demand, are stiff, while inferior
sorts, which are neglected, have not undergone any
change. In worsted yarns there is rather more in-
quiry in two-old 32's, 3G's, and 40's, with some
scanty business ; otherwise there is no change from
last week. Some inquiry has been made in lustre
wefts, but the orders placed are only small. The
home trade take only a small quantity at present. Al-
though export merchants as well as those engaged in
the home branch are looking forward hopefully to
an improvement in business, all are at present
satisfied with the purchases recently made. Owing
to the hardening tendency of wool prices are
stiffer. The piece market is quiet. The orders
placed are only small. Manufacturers, notwith-
standing, are firm in their quotations. The stiffen-
ing tendency of wool and cotton warps leave them
no alternative but to seek full rates. Indeed, some
manufacturers are asking a slight advance on last
week's rata.

FREE BANKING.

The discussion upon the principles of free banking
is continued in the columns of the Star by" Econo-
mist," who heartily agrees with Mr. Bruton and Pro-
fessor Thor°ld. Rogers in denouncing the unlimited
issue of paper money. He protests, however, against
the proposal of the latter to reduce by one-half the
£15,000,000 of notes which the Bank of England
issues on securities. Such an attempt would, in the
opinion of " Economist," stop the Bank of England,
and bring down all other banks in its train. The
other suggestion of Professor Rogers, that the Bank
directors should supply themselves with gold by the
sale of stock as soon as their bullion falls below
a certain amount, pleases the critic no better.
If the Bank sells Consols it would be paid with its
own notes, and if it buys gold with the notes, its
general position would be just where it was. The
business of the country is now practically conducted
by bills of exchange, and paper demands, called
cheques on bankers, and by cross entries in the books
of the various banks. The moment anything; inter-
feres with this highly artificial and unsound system
people want their money out of the banks, either in
gold or a banknote. Such things are not to be had ;
the banks have them not in sufficient amount, and
the Bank of England has neither notes nor gold
to meet the demands of its customers and
of the banks. So a crisis ensues, and the
Government steps in. How much better it would
be to have a rational system of currency upon a gold
basis, and not merely co-equal with the amount of
gold in the Bank of England at any given moment.
A currency of this kind would contract and expand
with the requirements of the country, and would
work very differently from the hard-and-fast line of
the Bank Act, which snaps every ten years and works
terrible mischief.

SPAIN.

oome of the Madrid papers publish formidable estimates
of the loss of life at the recent conflict in the streets of
Malaga. Not less than 1,000 combatants of both parties
have been killed or wounded, some estimates placing the
loss of the troops considerably higher than that of the
insurgents. The corpses of several women were among
the dead. Though the rising at Cadiz was more general
than that at Malaga, the resistance was equally
desperate. It is still matter of doubt how far this oppo-
sition to the Government was a party movement. Many
accounts state that the disarming of the militia was the
sole cause of the rising, and that men of all parties, the
rich and the poor, manned the barricades.

The National Republican Committee of Madrid has
published another manifesto, by no means such a pacific
document as the last. It is nothing less than a formal
act of accusation against the Provisional Government,
*bitterly complaining that no Republican has been admitted
to the Ministry, that no citizen under 25 years of age can
vote, that the Juntas have been dissolved, and, in short,
that the Provisional Government have striven to convert
the great national movement of September into an ordinary
pronunciamento. This is not a satisfactory demonstration,
but the Republicans append a saving clause. They
exhort their supporters to make use of the voting paper as
their only wenpon.

PARIS, Jan. D.

At the sitting of the Conference on Saturday
last, Mr. Rangabe claimed to sit upon an equality
with the Turkish representative, and announced
that he should telegraph to Athens for instructions
whether he should take a purely deliberative part
in the proceedings or withdraw. Notwithstand-
ing this incident a satisfactory result is considered
probable.

STATE OF TRADE.

BRADFORD, Jan. 11.—Wool and Worsted—Not-
withstanding the great firmness of the Liverpool
cotton market, and the firmer tone assumed
by staplers, the aggregate amount of busi-
ness transacted in wool is only small. Spin-
ners generally are well supplied with wool,
and are operating only just to cover Small
orders coming to hand. There is a gene-
ral holding out for late rates. Prices are
still against the buyer. The better sorts of wool,
which are most in demand, arc stiff, while inferior
sorts, which are neglected, have not undergone any
change. In worsted yarns there is rather more in-
quiry in two-old 32's, 36's, and 40's, with some
scanty business ; otherwise there is no change from
last week. Some inquiry has been made in lustre
wefts, but the orders placed are only small. The
home trade take only a small quantity at present. Al-

though export merchants as well as hose engaged in
the home branch are looking forward hopefully to
an improvement iu business, all are at ',resent
satisfied with the purchases recently made. Owing
to the hardening tendency of wool prices are
stiffer. The piece market is quiet. The orders
placed are only small. Manufacturers, notwith-
standing, are brill in their quotations. The stiffen-
ing tendency of wool and cotton warps leave them
no alternative but to seek full i ates. Indeed, some
manufacturers are asking a sliglit advance on last
week's rates.
