JOINERS ON STRIKE.

The carpenters and joinery in London met on
Thurslay to consider the propriety of ass'sting their
brethrin at lil%cliburn who are on strike. This
turn-out has I: sted about thirteen weei:s. Some three
years rgo the masons, plasterers, and brickhlyet s of
Illackburn succeded in obtaining a recluAion of the
week's quantum of labour from fifty-four to
forty-nine bolus. Envious of this success, the
joiners tried the same thing, but the thaLtel
stubbirnly refused the concesLion, and three
months' idlem ss has uc.t " brought them to tlic:r
metres." The f.onden wood- wor:ans are decidedly e f
opinion that the strike should go on, and that they
should assist in the good can e. Thc General Union
of Carpenters has already spent 1.1,200 in this con-
test, and has been able to keep Blackburn free
front " blacks"—frce labour men. The London men
passed a resolution sympathising with the movement
and offering assistance.

THE ALBERT LIFE ASSURANCE

COMPANY.

An application was made on Friday by the Chin
Clerk in Vice-Chancellor James's Court, on the part of
Mr. M`Laughlin, who is the first petitioner,
that Mr. Kirby, one of the provisional liqui.
dators, be permitted to resign, and that Mr. Price
be appointed sole provisional liquidator. Mr.
Musgrove, who appeared for Messrs. Lewis, Munns, and
Co., in support of the application, stated that the policy.
holders had shown considerable feeling as far as the position
of Mr. Kirby was concerned, and in deference to the
wishes expressed by them at the last meeting he thought
it better to retire. The object of the present application
was that his Honour should make a note of the application
and refer it to the judge.—Mr. Merriman, whc
appeared on the part of several of the contributories,
objected to the adjournment to the judge, and asked that
the Chief Clerk order the retirement of Mr. Kirby, and
at once appoint Mr. White, a petitioner, provisional liqui•
dator with Mr. Price. After some discussion, the Chief
Clerk adjourned the matter, to be heard by the judge with
the petition.

M essrs. Brandon also applied to the Chief Clerk, on
the part of certain policy-holders, for leave to inspect the
books of the company. After hearing the various argu-
ments of the solicitors, the Chief Clerk adjourned the
application to the judge.
An application to appoint Messrs. Chatteris and others
to represent the policy-holders was also relegated to the
Vice- Chancellor.

MIL HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,

scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. Thoy 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.

LIEGE AND LIWSSELS FETES.

The most extensive preparations are being made at
Li4o in honour of the forthcoming fetes. The official
reception will take place on Sunday, the 10th inst.
Fifteen hundred English volunteers are expected, and
1,600 Gerdes Nationales and volunteers from France,
Holland, Switzerland, and Germany.. These will be selected
from the best sharpshooters, and the shooting at Liege
and Spa is expected to be the most interesting tir that
has yet taken place in Europe. On the 27th instant, at
Brussels there will be the greatest review of the Belgian
army that has ever been held in the kingdom. There will
be on the field eight battalions of riflemen, two
regiments of light infantry, three of infantry of the line,
and a regiment of grenadiers. The troops will number in
all about 35,000 men.

The municipal authorities and the Garde Civique of
Ostend have intimated to the Anglo-Belgian Committee
their intention of meeting the steamers from Dover on the
15th, 16th, 17th, and 18th, for the purpose of welcoming
the English volunteers, and conducting them to the rail-
way station. The Garde Civique of Brussels have also
arranged to give a hearty welcome to such of the
volunteers as intend visiting Brussels, on their return from
LiZ:ge and Spa, though there will be no great public
demonstration, as the authorities reserve to another time
a reception more worthy of the mutual good feelings which
unite England and Belgium.

TUE BYRON CONTROVERSY.

Newspaper correspondents are determined that
the disclosures of Mrs. Stowe shall be regarded from
every point of view. One writer in the Daily News
holds that the case is at least one of strong suspicion
against Lord Byron; that it certainly does not
improve the reputation of Lady Byron, and
that Mrs. Stowe was justified in making her
narrative public. Such a revelation was not needed
to excuse the separation between the poet and his
wife, for the gross immorality of the former was jus-
tification enough. But if her ladyship thought it
was necessary to explain her withdrawal from her hus-
band, it Iva& surely necessary years ago as well as now.
The charge should have been made by the victim
herself, openly and publicly, so that it might have
been examined and tested in her lifetime, when there
would have been opportunities for any further
details that other persons may have thought fit to
demand. To keep the scandal during her life and
unfold it after death, was, this writer opines, a
curious species of martyrdom.

BOAT-RACING.
The Times a day or two ago proposed that the
Oxford crew should compete with the Harvard, each on
its own terms ; the former carrying a coxswain, the
latter retaining its system of steering by an apparatus
managed by the foot of the bowman. This plan was
advocated on the ground that the coxswain's steering
would be sa much superior that his extra weight
would be more than counterbalanced. A corres-
pondent, however, points out that the foot apparatus
is not new in England. In July, 1807, a crew
from St. John's, New Brunswick, rowed at the
Paris Regatta in a four-oared boat without a
coxswain against a London, an Oxford Etonian, and
several other four-oared crews with coxswains. The
St. John's crew won so easily that it became manifest
the dead-weight of the coxswains in the other boats,
notwithstanding the possibility of their being steered
a better course, had handicapped them quite out of
the race. The principle was then tried in England ;
a crew from Brazenose, Oxford, competing without
a coxswain against some boats which carried one.
Again, the better steering could not make up for the
difference in weight.

VAST LONDON HOSPITAL for CHILDREN.
Tho Committee earnestly desire to raise funds which
shall enable them to establish the Hospital in more suit-
able buildings. Tho premises now occupied are crowded
and inconvenient, causing additional expense from that
circumstance. It is impossible even to purchase on whole-
sale terms many articles of daily consumption from want
of room for stowage, every inch of available space being
occupied. There is a daily demand for more beds, and the
staff of nurses would bo able to attend upon more children,
but no more can be admitted in the present building.
£B,OOO at least is required to carry out this much-wished-
for and urgent scheme.

CRIME IN LANCASIIIIIE.

A gloomy report on the moral condition of Lan-
cashire Las been submitted to the magistrates in
annual general sessions at Preston. In the country
at large adult crime shews an increase of 9 per
cent. ; but in this county the increase is not
less than 29 per cent. For England and Wales
the advance in juvenile crime has been 41 per cent.;
in Lancashire the increase is 20-1 per cent. Refor-
matory arrangements are very defective. One
fourth of the children who are sent to reformatories
never get there, partly because there is no room for
them, partly because the magistrates do not know
their business. Through svAit of attention to certain
details of regulation, the magistrates sentenced
children to reformatories, who wereref used admittance.
Mr. Aspland, the author of this report, plainly says
that " if magistrates would study the Act of Parlia-
ment and the rules laid down by the reformatory
committee they would see what to do." A nice
state of things, truly ! People us nest vocations are
expected to understand their business, but it appears
that the duty of administ ring the law is often a
great exception to this general rule. What would
be the effect of setting up a school for magistrates

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

It affords relief to a largo number of in-patients, and, in
addition to this, the average number of attendance of the

CIIURCII RECONSTRUCTION IN IRELAND.

The second sitting of the Down and Connor
Diocesan Synod has been mainly occupied with the re-
presentation of the laity in the General Synod of the
Church. The churchmen of this diocese think it
very undesirable that a district of a few inhabitants
should claim as many representative 3 as a populous
region. They hold that each diocese ought to send
to the General Synod a number of laity proportionate
to its population.

THE IRISH LAND QUESTION.

The Tinie3 commissioner, pursuing his inquiries in
the neighbourhood of Athlone, quotes a remarkable
instance of the misellief brought about by insecurity
of tenure. The barony of Gleashill, a tract of 30,000
acres, is now in possession of the I)igby family.
The late Lord Digby, who was an absentee, gave
towards the end of the last century a great; many
leases to his tenantry, and as he was himself only a
tenant for life, some of these leases were greatly in
excess of his powers. But as he lived to 155, and
during that time the occupiers were well treated,
they made great improvements, creating on the
land a considerable amount of property. Lord
Dighy's successor, who was not a near relation,
thought himself justified in availing himself of his
strict rights, and destroying tides which, not being
consistent with the provisitels of the entail,
were, technically speaking, wl:olly invalid. Eject-
ment proceedings were commenced, cr threatened,
against the whole body of the lessees-1:20 families.
As to compensation, they were referred to the
executors of the deceased Earl, who were not bound
to disburse one farth:ng. The whole country Was in
an uproar, and serious consequences might lo•-;.ve
ensued, load not Mr. Trench— anthLr of the
" Realities of Irish Life'--persuaded the execntois
to allot a sum of f::;0,0C0:.s compensat:on. Many of
the occupiers were•permitted to retain their holdongs
at greatly increased rents. This case is an instance
of the insecurity of tenure, not merely as
matter of theory, but according to the Irish
law, for these unfortunate men had no means of
ascertaining the defects of their leases. Who, as',is
the Commissioner, ever heard of LO leaseholders on
one English estate, after having enjoyed their lands
for two generations and added enormously to their
value, being threatened with immediate eviction, not
for any misconduct or default, but simply because
there was a flaw in their titles The writer quotes
another instance of flagrant injustice to tenants-at-
will

TUE NATIONAL DANK OF VIENNA.

The directors of the National Bank of Vienna have
issued a note to the following effect conference has
been held between the representatives of the Anglo-
Austrian Bank, the Cr6dit Mobilier, the Discount Society
of Lower Austria, and the National Bank, to consider the
position of the. money market. The directors of the
National Bank having explained the state of their affairs
at the close of August, stated that they would continue
to increase their reserve of notes, with the sole
object of relievinz the pressure on trade and industry.
Usually they are unwilling to multiply their notes for
any object whatever, and even now they would only do so
with great caution. The National Bank, whose discounts
for Vienna amounted in this last month of August to
nearly 116 millions, discounted in the same period 176 mil-
lions on account of the various institutions of credit of the
place. The Bank has no intention at present of raising
the rate of discount. This announcement of the intention■
of the National Bank was generally approved, and the
belief was commonly expressed that when it was made
public the exaggerated apprehensions which prevailed
would be diminished.

PHOTOGRAPHIC MAPS.

The important problom of constructing plans and maps
by photography has been solved. The Berlin photographer,
Herr Afeydenbauer, has been at great pains to produce pic-
tures that are correct in a perspective point of view. The
Prussian Government, being convinced of his ability, com-
missioned him to survey a fortification. The task was a very
difficult one, but in six months he obtained 800 plates.
By this time he gained so much experience that he com-
pleted a photogrammetric instrument, which was so
simple that a workman was able to draw up a plan of a
fortress after a few instructions. The photographic
camera can now be employed for a number of important
purposes.

TRE ALBERT ASSURANCE COMPANY.

The aggregate meeting of the Albert policy-holders
in London is regarded as an important step in the
direction of a settlement, The assemblage was lively
and noisy, but it came to one or two practical con-
clusions. Firstly, it rejected the liquidators' scheme;
and it is to be hoped that the unanimous censure and
contempt with which this proposal has been received
will bring about its withdrawal. Secondly,
committee was appointed to determine, in conjunction
with the provincial committees, the best means of
arranging the affairs of the company and report to
the policy-holders at a future meeting. This deci-
sion is considered wise because it merely removes an
obnoxious proposition, and leaves the ground open
for another. Neither the London policy-holders,
nor those in the provinces will come to a conclusion
without a mutual agreement. The policy-
holders parliament which has been formed will,
the Daily News remarks, at once supersede all
the little cliques and parties which persons in pursuit
of business have formed at their private offices.
Hitherto the policy-holders have been an unorga-
nised crowd, without a leader or a purpose, and a
host of would-be leaders have offered to put them-
selves at its head ; now the occupation of such gen-
tlemen is gone, and any advice they may have to
offer, any plans they may have to suggest, can be
communicated to a representative body, which has
ability to deliberate and power to decide.
Mr. Cave, member for Barnstaple, gives a more
detailed explanation of his connection with the
Albert Assurance Company. He became a share-
holder in 1853, and shortly afterwards a local direc-
tor. It seems that directors get their information
touching the state of the company with which they
are connected from without, for Mr. Cave says that
"rumours impeaching the soundness of the office were
conveyed to us," Stirred by these sinister
reports Mr. Cave and others made inquiries, and
seoa " disc,vered and reported what we considered
to be errcrs of the gravest kind in the principlis 0:1
which capital had lweu de it with, annuities granted,
and dividends paid, and that the general expenditure
for the previous year had exceeded 5O percent, of the
income." The ollice was remodelled, Mr. Cave
became managing director, and under his guidance
t ing
n rapidly improved. The income of the com-
pany increased threefold, and its gross expenses fell
e. t
from 60 to 15 per cent. In 1857 proposals were
made for the amalgamation, and afterw,,r,7a the
purcinse, of the Eat“ of TIG:1,1.1 Cola-
Daily :

No commis.3:on, c;;Eupen,&i,u, or other rayment was
made to any person whatever in respect of it, but I
,`eceived an appointment for a term of years, the details
of which were unanimously approved by a general meeting'
of the shareholders of each company.

Mr. Cave does not say what appointment, nor what
were the details which were unanimously approved.

REFORM 11Y MR. CEOR,IE POTTER.

The organ of the trades unions—the Ileehive—has
takon up very earnestly two " urgently needed"
reforms—those, namely, of the aristocracy and the
land. Against the former it is urged that they
monopolise everything generally—the land, the
Church livings, the legislation, the con-
sciences of their tenantry, the army and navy
appointments, Government offices, &c., &c. The
land laws are denounced as starving the many, and
driving the poor to huddle together in hovels, and
sending them from their own country to another.
" The landlords (the Beehive exclaims), must be
masters of the situation no longer. The land is
ours, and ours it shall be. We did not, in the
time of manufacturing prosperity, feel the impor-
tance of the land question, as we do now in the time
of our adversity. We must now look to our feet to
see where we stand. We find we have no standing
ground on the land—that has been taken from
beneath us. Our liberty is no liberty so long as the
land is held by one class alone."

DIOCESAN DIVISIONS.

The Morning Advertiser objects to the appoint-
ment of the present Bishop of Oxford to the see of
Winchester. Not that it does not like the man, or
has anyone else to propose in his place, but
it protests against such large dioceses and large
incomes as those of Winchester. We have too
few bishops-(says the Advertiser). They should be
increased and their incomes diminished. Mr. Glad-
stone himself admits that this should be done; his
proper course would be to keep the bishopric open
until his policy could be carried out. The Advertiser's
plan is that the bishops' incomes of Winchester and
Exeter, together amounting to £20,000, should be
divided into four parts, that Devon and Cornwall
should be parted and Winchester divided, each
division being given a "spiritual lord."

OSCILLATION OF RAILWAY TRAINS.

Sir Charles Fox has a scheme for preventing the
oscillation of railway trains—a plan which having
been already tried is certainly worthy of attention.
He believes that the present undue motion is caused
in very great measure by the use of wheels the tires
of which are portions of cones instead of cylinders.
The tires of railway wheels are generally coned
to an inclination of one in twenty. These
were first introduced in the expectation of
facilitating the passage of vehich!s round curves. No
advantage, however, is found to arise in the use of
conical whe,ls in passing. round curves, Sir Charles
has, then fore, construct( d upwards of 2,-;0 miles of
railway abroad, in the rolling stocic of which he has
departed from the usual form of wheel, and has used
only cylindrical ones. The result is reported to be
an increased steadiness of motion such as is impossi-
ble under the old mode of tire mating,

ANTI-VACCINATION.

The Mile End Board of Guardians has been
making things pleasant with the anti-vaccinators.
That important department of government recently
received in state a deputation of Mile-end ratepayers
for the purpose of presenting a resolution against
the Compulsory Vaccination Act, and calling
upon the Board not to enforce it. Dr. Pearce
led the van with a speech, in which he
contended that vaccination was no remedy
against smallpox, and that it induced other diseases.
After more speechifying, the chairman made a
remarkable statement. Ile said the Board petitioned
against the bill when it was before Parliament,
because they believed it to be an uncalled for inter-
ference with the liberty of the subject. " The Board
had never assumed or exercised any of the powers
given by the Compulsory Vaccination Act, for they
held it to be their duty to do nothing which was
was obnoxious to the ratepayers." Here we have in
a nutshell the whole principle of parochial manage-
ment. Parliament provides for the care of the poor
and for the health of the community, but the busi-
ness of the guardians is to do none of these things;
it is to please the ratepayers. Disease may spread,
paupers may perish, but that is no concern of
the guardians. It is their duty to do nothing that
is obnoxious to the ratepayers.

THE HUSS FESTIVAL.

It appears, according to the North-East Correspondence,
that the fkes in commemoration of John Huss, at
Prague, were not so successful as had been expected.
Invitations had been issued to some of the leading Euro-
pean democrats, such as Victor Hugo, Garibaldi, Maz-
zini, &c., and they did not judge it expedient to accept
this invitation. The Czechs were obliged to be satisfied
with the presence of less famous guests. The Czechs look
upon Huss snore as a great Liberal patriot than as a
powerful thinker, and the immediate precursor of Luther
and the -Reformation.
