OUR RELATIONS WITH CHINA.

The Times has at last awakened to the importance
of the new arrangement which has been made with
the Chinese plenipotentiary. We pointed out on
Tuesday that " Lord Clarendon's arrangements with
Mr. Burlingame mark a new epoch in our foreign
policy ;" and yesterday the leading journal says :
" An announcement which has just been made pro-
mises to be a new era in the relation of this country
with those States and nations which are not included
in the comity of Christendom." It is satisfactory to
find that the journal which during Lord Palmer-
ston's regime was all for a spirited foreign policy,
and which supported Sir John Bowring's insolent
conduct in the lorcha Arrow business, has come to a
better state of mind, and declares that " the naval
officer who is always appearing before somebody's
seaport to demand satisfaction about some matter
which people at home have never heard of is the
representative of a spirited, but not over wise nor
always successful bearing towards foreign nations.
His occupation will soon be gone. It will not
take four months to communicate with China
or the western coast of the New World, and
though a Chinese or a Mexican governor may be as
provoking as heretofore, the Queen's servants, civil
military, or naval, will have to wait for orders in-
stead of chastising the offender on their own
account." Clearly we are being educated in our
ideas'of international policy. In time we shall come
to see that it is as great a wrong for a strong State
to use its strength for the oppression of a weak State
as we already see it to be for a strong man to strike
a weak man. The love of justice which has already
put down outrages between individuals will very soon
put down outrages between nations, and the
" patriotism" of twenty years ago will become as
much a thing of the past as the robber " chivalry "
of medieval times.

, -:ATITRDAY EVENING, JANUARY 9, 1869,

PAUPERISM.

Mr. Measor, whose name is well known in connec-
tion with our convict system, has addressed a letter
to the Star on the subject of pauperism. He fears
that this social disease will be much aggravated by
the coming winter, and that the ranks of crime will
be recruited from those of distress. The bugbear of
the misapplication of charitable funds seems, in his
opinion, to have been raised as an excuse for dis-
regarding a national duty. After some stringent
remarks on the wide gulf which in this country
separates rich from poor, Mr. Measor observes that
the chronically pauperised, the temporarily dis-
tressed, and the criminal, have got, by bad manage-
ment, so inextricably interwoven together, that the only
immediate course is to institute public works for all
wishing for labour as a test of industry and
skill. These would supply a school of industrial
instruction, from whence the better class could .be
gradually drafted to the most suitable of our colo-
nial settlements. As regards the young, the flood
of future evil must be stopped by removing them
from vicious parents and instructors, and by training
them to industry. A higher estimate of human life
and labour, less cruel punishments, and more com-
passion for ignorance and error, can alone control
and elevate the largely criminal and pauperised por-
tion of this great community.

ITALY.

The disturbances caused by the levying of the grist
tax has not yet subsided in many places. Rather
than submit to the impost, the millers have closed their
establishments in many places. At Clavesana, in Pied-
mont, five hundred armed peasants appeared and demanded
that a miller who had shut up his mill should resume
work. On his answering that the law prevented him, they
sacked the building. In two of the Lombardian valleys
forty mills have stopped.
Italy does not suffer greatly, according to the corre-
spondent of the Liberte, from the extravagance of its
monarch. King Victor Emmanuel, who hates etiquette,
lives more plainly than any sovereign in Europe. His
house is poorly furnished, his meals simple, and the recep-
tions and ceremonies few. Two or three balls a year and
a few dinners make up the list of festivities at the
royal palace. At the great banquet given on New Year's
Day the King was visibly bored. He takes little interest in
administration, his attention being given chiefly to hunt-
ing. He is a connoisseur in horseflesh—in the shape of the
living animal. Cavour was, perhaps, more feared by his
monarch than by any other individual in the realm, for
now that his terrors have ceased, a successor has
arisen in the Master of the Household, an old banker who
keeps the King in excellent order. This functionary's great
aim is to clear off the crown debts, and in order to do this
he has reduced the royal ex penses in the most parsimonious
manner. The King's charitable inclinations are rigidly
kept down. A lady in distress recently obtained an order
from the sovereign for £1,600, but had to be content with
one-tenth of that sum. The royal master himself has
several times been obliged to borrow a few pounds of his
aides-de-camp.
London, England, 1869-01-09

SPAIN.

An English lady, who had the misfortune to be in
Malaga during the recent conflict, writes in high praise
of the conduct of the Spanish troops. The hotel where
she resided was occupied by soldiers, bat not the slightest
injury was experienced by the inmates. The officers were
kind and gentle beyond measure, the privates scarcely less
so. The lady's jewels, trinkets, and money were scattered
about her bedroom, but though the soldiers invaded the
apartment, not a single article was taken away.
The Spanish journals, contradicting the Monitcur, say
that no military commission will be appointed to try the
insurgents who were taken prisoners at Malaga. All
except the leaders will be pardoned. The number remain-
ing in the hands of General Caballero de Rodas, after
releasing very many, is 230.

The Paris correspondent of the Independence Beige
affirms that the Carlist conspiracy discovered at Barcelona
is of far greater extent and importance than is generally
supposed. The official accounts have not revealed every-
thing. A general, a brigadier, and a great many persons
in authority have been arrested. Important papers have
been discovered. The Liberte recently announced that
Queen Isabella had had an interview with Don Carlos.
This statement has been denied, but the Paris Liberal
Journals still adhere to it.

THE FUTURE OF THE IRISH CHURCH

The pamphlet which Archdeacon Stopford has just
issued has not been hastily concerted, but is the result of
diligent observation. Its publication was suspended until
after the elections, but it was completed by May last.
The archdeacon considers that the decision of the elections
may be looked upon as final, and regards it as useless for
anyone to ignore the fact. The archdeacon is a stedfast
friend of the Establishment, and a zealous advocate for
internal reforms, and his views are therefore well worthy
of attention. He is opposed to the sudden capitalization
of all life-incomes, but as regards those who hold tempo-
rary positions in the Church the main question
is whether or not they shall have compensation.
He advises the friends of the Church to look at the question
like men, and meet it with dignity and earnestness. "Is
is desirable," he says, "that Mr. Gladstone should intro.
duce a bill so carefully and liberally drawn that we might
accept it in this session with such amendments as we can
reasonably claim ; Or is it desirable that his measures
should be so ill drawn as to give grounds for a party fight,
not on principles, but on details, extending perhaps far
beyond this session? In my opinion it would be wise for us to
do all that may be in our power to obtain the former alterna-
tive." The A rchdeacon thinks it a matter of great importance
that they should be allowed to make their own future
arrangements unfettered by the State, and he therefore
abstains from any discussion of what should " afterwards
be settled by ourselves alone." Above all things, he
would avoid the danger of subjecting the Church to the
tyranny of a majority of the House of Commons,
in place of its present constitutional relation to
the Crown. He considers that a disestablished
Church will need a system of administration
similar to that established in colonial Churches. The
archdeacon emphatically declares that to remain unpre-
pared for the worst would be the greatest danger that
could befall the Irish Church, and he appeals to the laity
to act promptly in the matter. If revolution is to proceed
by hasty steps " we have still left the force of superior
intelligence, of energy and of resolution, and we will use it
as we may."

FOREIGN NOTESA

AMERICA,

The Canadian Ministers are contemplating tee speedy
union of British Columbia to the Canadian Dominion.
The San Juan affair—the question as to whether England
or Alile4ca shall possess the island which forms part of
the boundary between British Columbia and the United
States—must be first settled. The Canadian News says
that communications on this subject have passed
between the English Ministry and the Government of the
Dominion, but it does not state whether the difficulty is
to be submitted to arbitration, or whether the knot is to
cut by giving up the little island. The impression has
prevailed in Canada that all trouble will be avoided by
making the United States a present of this disputed
morsel of territory.
If the central Government of the United States do
not take immediate action a civil war on a small scale is
likely to be the result of the recent lynching in Indiana.
The number of professed robbers in the State is large, and
these are supported by their relatives and other indi-
viduals who espouse their cause through choice or fear.
Hence there are two parties in the State—the marauders
and the vigilance committees, who defend themselves by
systematic breach of the law. The relatives and friends of
the men who were hanged threaten horrible vengeance
against allconnected with the vigilance committee ; whilst
the latter, though " loth to shed blood ;again," express their
intention of doing so if the property of the Indiana citizens
be molested. The province is in a state of anarchy;
"C.," writing to the Daily News, satm that the Express
Companies, who are most frequently robbed, must have
some complicity with the "regulators," who hang the
desperadoes. Ile suggests, therefore, that in ee tihy
robber is in future lynched for pillaging an express com-
pany, the charter of the latter should be withdrawn.
" C." overlooks the fact that it is impossible to withdraw
a company's charter on the presumption'of complicity.
The guilt must be proved, and hitherto it has been found
impracticable to trace these outrages to their perpetrators.
No one dares appear against them. Anarchy in Indiana
will not cease until the law becomes a reality.

cial struggle. The Erie Compapy has been so much

:7IIE NEW LAW COURTS

Huddled away, out of sight, in a cramped area,
with no appropriate surroundings such as would shew
off the proportions of a magnificent building, it is pro-
posed to build the new " Palace of Justice." A site
facing the Thames Embankment is now attainable.
Should that be used, London might be beautified, and
the Thames made, as far as art goes, the most magni-
ficent river in the world. The finely-curved embank-
ment, the noble bridges, together with the Houses of
Parliament, Somerset House, the Temple, and
between the two latter the new law courts, would be
a grand triumph of architecture. But on dit it is too
Late. The site agreed upon is already bought and
cleared. Mr. Tite, M.P., however, is anxious that
some building should be erected on the Thames
Embankment, and he proposes to separate such
departments as the Probate and Will Court from the
main building, and to erect another edifice on
the embankment for these. He shews that the
cost Will not be much greater. The objection
to his plan isThat it would perpetuate the divisions
betty en the
several judicial offices which the new
-
building is intended to obviate. Lawyers complain
much of having to rush about from Westminster tr:
Lincoln's Inn to find their men or watch their case.
The arrangement of all offices in one building is
much to be desired.

THE LAW OF PRIMOGENITURE.

The correspondence respecting the proposed
modifications of the law of primogeniture still
continues. Sir G. Bowyer has written another letter
giving some details of the law as it at present stands.
He thinks the public do not know how narrow the
power is of tying up estates in families for preventing
their alienation, and he regards Mr. Locke King's bill
only as a step towards the compulsory division of land
among co-heirs in all cases. On the other hand, an
advocate of the measure argues that the legal tram-
mels produced by long entail impede the transfer
of land, and thinks that any attempt either to con-
centrate or to subdivide the land by legislation
is a great mistake. A correspondent of
the Times asks why, when the owner of a
freehold estate dies intestate, and the eldest
son takes the whole, no probate duty is payable,
while in a similar case of leasehold estate, where the
children all take equally, a heavy duty is charged on
the letters of administration. Mr. James Freeman,
in discussing the subject, observes that Earl Russell
met with an equally formidable opposition in the
institution of the Encumbered Estates Court in
Ireland, which has, nevertheless, been eminently
successful.

become stale. Wall-street, therefore, turned its attention
to the New York Central Railway, and a great combina-
tion of " bears" was formed for the purpose of creating a
stringency in the money market and depressing prices.
The manceuvre was signally defeated. The famous Com-
modore Vanderbilt, who owns a great proportion of the
New York Central shares, and who virtually directs the
company, had recourse to the amazing expedient of declaring
through the directors a bonus dividend of eighty per cent.
in scrip, convertible into new shares, in addition to the ordi-
nary four per cent. dividend in money. The shares at
once ran up from 124 to 162, and have retained a position
above 148. The bears who speculated for a fall were
miserably baffled. Four or five million dollars have been
the price of failure.

A NEW ENTERTAINER.

On Monday next Mr. P. Phillips, a son of the
late talented reviewer and contributor to the 7 intes,
will make his first appearance at the Victoria Hall,
Bayswater, as a public reader and entertainer. Mr.
Phillips has been very successful both in Australia
and America, but, like tho3e who have gone before
him, he is anxious to take the opinion of a London
audience upon his merits. His programme is well
selected, it contains some of the choicest composi-
tions in the English language, and from what we
have heard of the ability of the new reader, a most
enjoyable evening may be fully anticipated.

LORD DALKEITH AT EDINBURCiII.

On Wednesday Lord Dalkeith was entertained at
a banquet in Edinburgh by his supporters. The
noble lord, in addressing his friends, expressed his
gratitude for the reception he had met with. He
accepted it also as a tribute to the Conservative
cause, and as an earnest that they would all fight
together in support of those principles which they
believed to be right. In alluding to the loss of his
seat at the recent election for Edinburgh, Lord
Dalkeith attributed it partly to his absence, through
indisposition, at the commencement of the contest.
The result shelved the importance of being beforehand
in a contest of this kind, the same as in a regular
warfare. He considered that the Liberals did
not practise what they preached, since they blamed the
Conservatives for having recourse to intimidation,
-id they did not prevent it themselves at home.
The noble lord did not approve of the Ballot,
believing that it would promote bribery, and would
not protect the voter. Alluding to the remarks
made upon the influence exercised by his father, the
Duke of Buccleuch, Lord Dalkeith declared it' was
only the power naturally possessed by a straight-
forward and high-minded gentleman. The noble
lord concluded by expressing his regret at the general
character of the elections for Scotland, where tried
Scotchmen had been rejected for untried Englishmen,
and trusted that at the next election that took place
Edinburgh would redeem its character by returning
a Conservative.

perty supposed to be stolen.
Charles Butcher, a detective of the D division,

prisoner in bed. lie told the prisoner he was going
to search the house. The prisoner said he was
welcome to do so, and on searching the house he

AS BROTHERS JOINED.

It is not altogether creditable to the charity which
prevails in the Churches, that a meeting of ministers
Df all denominations should be looked upon with
wonder ; yet such is the fact. The religious cliques
in the cathedral city of Wells have been talking,
with admiring or deprecating astonishment, of a
prayer meeting, over which th vicar of East Wells
presided, and at which Baptists, Independents, Wes-
leyans, and representative ministers of all denomina-
tions came together, by the vicar's invitation,
to pray for (or against) the (Ecumenical
council. The meeting was actually held in the
vicarage ! Such an occurrence, says an astounded
local paper, is unprecedented. And so near the
Bishop's residence, too. It all comes, doubtless, of
the absence of the spiritual lord. Lord Arthur Her-
vey will set things right after his consecration.
London, England, 1869-12-22

OBITUARY.

The Earl of Antrim died on Sunday, at Glanarm
Castle, Antrim. He had been suffering from a
lingering disease for several months. The deceased
peer ivas the eighth earl, and was born in 1814. His
eldest son, Viscount Dunluco, born in 1851, succeeds
to the title.

FOREIGN NOTES.

TUE AMEEICAN CUSTOMS.

Commercial men in the United States are clamouring
I ,udly fora reform in the Customs duties ; but, unfortunately
such is the division of interests that it will be impossible for
Congress to take any decisive step without creating as much
discontent as it gives satisfaction. The shipbuilders have been
organising an active agitation in favour of the free ad-
mission of shipbuilding materials, to enable them to corn-
p-Ae successfully with European builders, but the iron
workers of Pennsylvania complain that the iron
duties are too low, and the free admission of foreign
hemp would alarm Missouri and Kentucky. In almost
every department there is some drawback of this
kind. Pennsylvania, indeed, is a general marplot. She
wishes to retain the salt duty, and New York agrees with
her in this demand, while the Western States want to
have it reduced or abolished. Pennsylvania likes a pro-
hibitory duty on coal to protect her large mining
interests, while a neighbouring state, wants coal
t) be free. New England, however, would like
a heavy tax on exported cotton, which is as obnoxious to
the Southern States, as dear coal is to the New Englanders.
The sugar duty is popular in Louisiana, but unpopu-
lar farther North, while the same feeling ex-
tends even to financial and monetary circles,
to the production of paper money, the circulation of gold,
and the establishment of blnks. It is only to be expected
that a country which is, in fact, an empire, including a
number of independent kingdoms, each with its own
individual interests, preferences, and prejudices, should find
it difficult to produce one common law which would repre-
sent all alike. The only solution of the problem is to be
found in a thorough Free Trade policy. The laws of
supply and demand would very soon regulate the inequali-
ties of the natural products, and would speedily compen-
sate any temporary inconvenience to particular interests
by the general stimulus to trade and revival of commerce.

4 GIRL OF ELEVEN POISONING A BABY

Me Court of Assizes of the Aube has just tried a girl
imed Gauchot, aged scarcely 11 years, on a charge
of poisoning a child of eight months, which she
hall been hired to mind. The infant died in July
at, after three days' illness, and in great agony; a post-
mo. -tern examination shewed that death had been caused
by p hosphorous, and suspicion falling on the girl Gauchot,
she vb" as questioned, and confessed that she had given the
child In cifers to suck, to see whether it was true that
they were poisonous, .and in order that her employers
might be' tngry and rend her home to - her parents.
A medical man, who had examined the accused as to
her mental state, declared that she possessed an
intenig mce superior to tha'of the majority of children of
her age. She had already been '
.in two situations, but in
one she re. mined only a week, and in the other but two
days. Sho .'ppears to have left her parents with regret,
and is each ea. 'n to have done something to be dismissed.
She was now ora...yed to remain in a reformatory institu-
tion until she had eGnrpleted her 16th year.
