AN AMERICAN STATESMAN.

An American gentleman, who formerly played a very
prominent part in the political world has just died in
Tennessee. John Bell was for many years one of the lead-
ing men of the south-west, and enjoyed a large share of
public confidence. He was born at Nashville in 1797, and
brought up for the profession of the law. At the ago of
20 ho was chosen a Tennessee senator, and ton years later
he was sent to Congress, where he remained for fourteen
years, being at one time Speaker of the Houk of Represen-
tatives. In 1841 he was Secretary of War, and some
years later was elected Senator. He was a candidate for
the Presidency in MO, when Abraham Lincoln was elected.
Several of the Southern States voted for him, with reason,
for his sympathies were with the South during the war.
He was largely interested in the Tennessee Cumberland
Iron Works, and lost much of his fortune by the war. Of
late he has lived in retirement, but was always one of the
leading men in Congress, where he was an able speaker.
Andrew Johnson has pronounced a memorial oration on
Mr. Bell at Nashville.

Tn 7. LAND QUESTION.

About 15,000 persons assembled at Diary borough a
day or two ago to promote the movement in favour
of legalising tenant right. The gathering seems to
have been a rather strange affair. According to the
Dublin , Evening Mail it took place on Sunday
and was presided over by the Rev. Dr. Taylor. This
gentleman strongly urged that the tenant-right move-
ment involved no interference with the rights of
property. But the present land system, or rather
want of system, was really a violation of the rights of
property. The landlord now held power equal to
that of a slave master

It was well known that not far from Maryborough a
property was purchased by persons who were determined to
make money of their bargain, and they raised the rents on
some poor people there to three times their former amounts.
For land for which they had paid only 15s. per acre, 455.
was now required from poor, struggling tenants, who must
pay or jog the road. No ono wished to deprive the land-
lord of any power but that of doing harm, and for
depriving a person of that power there should bo no
complaint. They wero doing an injury to the State by
depriving it of useful peasantry—sending, ay, driving
away thousands from their country with feelings of dark
and deep hatred.

Other speeches were made to the same purport.
Resolutions wore passed in favour of tenant right and
repudiating hostile intentions against landlords. As
several other clergymen besides Dr. Taylor were
present and spoke, the Mail must surely be in error
respecting the day on which the meeting was held.
Chief Justice Whitehead holds very strong opinions
respecting the intentions of the Irish peasantry to-
wards the landlords. He opened the special com-
mission at Galway on Monday, and in charging the
grand jury, declared that the object of the
various agrarian crimes throughout the country
was simply to drive out the landlords and take
possession of their property. The Chief Justice
exhorted the gentry to remain at home and use their
influence for the discovery and repression of crime.
Thejury found a true bill against Barrett for shooting
at Captain Lambert.

MR. SUMNER 4GAIN.

The New York Nation charges Mr. Sumner with mislead-
ing Mr. Bright regarding Mr. Reverdy Johnson's credentials.
It affirms that tile senator held out expectations to the
member for Birmingham, and through him to the English
people, which ho (Mr. Sumner himself) took the first oppor-
tunity to defeat. " Mr. Johnson was unanimously nominated
by the Senate, and went to England with a letter of
introduction from Mr. Sumner to John Bright,
praising him in terms so ardent that Bright was near
going to London in hot haste to look at him as a
kind of moral curiosity ; but in a few short weeks the
poor man had sunk to the grade of a mere creature,
of ' the greatest criminal of the age ;' and even
Mr. Sumner expressed his astonishment that British
statesmen should have entered into negotiations with one
so lost, and so utterly without authority or consideration."
This statement of the Nation has been denied, but that
journal persists in it.

REMARKS.

The decrease in pressure noticed yesterday has since been general.
an the south of Ireland the diminution continued rapidly till last
evening, when the reading was 28'94in. at Valencia. Since that time
a remarkably quick recovery has set in--the rise at Valencia amount-
ing to O'B2in. The increase has already extended to Great Britain,
but is not ID rapid. The lowest reading is at Holyhead, and is
015 in. lower than that at Rochefort. Temperature has diminished
in the west, but increased considerably in the south-east. The
southerly gale reported yesterday in Ireland extended to the Channel
cow', and winds elsewhere were fresh to strong from the same
quarter. The gale has since moderated, and the wind on our south.
west coast has veered to N.W. A light north-easterly breeze is chew-
ing itself at north-westerly stations, but in the east fresh southerly
wands continue. Rain has been general, and in the west heavy.
The sky is overcast or cloudy. The sea at Valencia has gone
down.

THAMES.

BROACHING A C A RGO. -STEALING GOODS 15
TRANSIT.—John Reed, a lighterman in the service
of the Thames Lighterage Company, was brought
before Mr. Pag,:t charged with stealing seven
bottles of beer, the property of his employers While
it was in their charge.

Yesterday evening at seven o'clock the prisoner
was leaving the West India Dock at the Blackwall
entrance, and was stopped by Cook, a constable,
who foucd upon him two bottles of beer concealed
under his clothes, and made fast by a belt. Tile
prisoner was asked where he obtained them, and he
made several conflicting statements. He said he
was in charge of a barge in the dock basin. The
barge was searched and five bottles of beer were dl5
covered. They were secreted under some other
things. The prisoner had been delivering casks of
bottled beer on board the ship in the dock. frog
cask was opened, and there was a deficiency 124
seven bottles, the exact number seized.

A police constable said the prisoner was out 00
bail for braaking a man's leg, and was to appear
before Mr. Benson on the 19th inst.
Mr. Paget said the best course would be to re-
mand the prisoner on this charge till the 19th, vibe
Mr. Benson could dispose of both cases.
The Prisoner—Will you take the same bail?
Mr. Paget—No, certainly not; I shall take n°
bail now.

ELECTION PETITIONS.

WINDSOR.—The inquiry into this petition was resumed
on Thursday. The petitioner's case was brought to a
close sooner than had been anticipated, and Mr. James
asked for a delay till Friday for his rtply on behalf of Air.
Eykyn, but his lordship could not consent, being pressed
for time, and Mr. James accordingly replied to the
evidence which had been given in support of the petition.
He appeared to succeed so far in spewing the unsatis-
factory character of the evidence which had been given,
and his lordship was of the same opinion in some of the
cases. At the conclusion of Mr. James's address the
court adjourned.

Noawrcn.—Mr. Baron Martin opened the commission
on Thursday. His lordship was received by the sheriff
(Mr. W. J. Robinson), and will sit in the County Shire
Hall instead of the Guildhall, which would afford
very inadequate accommodation. The petitioner is Mr.
J. H. Tillett, the unsuccessful Liberal candidate at the
late election, and the respondent is Sir H. J. Stracey,
who was returned for the constituency in the Conservative
interest.

the Court of Common Pleas, Mr. Collins,
M.P. for Boston, moved in person to set aside the petition
against his own return, on ground that it was a joint
petition against himself and Mr. Malcolm, and security
for £l,OOO only had been given. Rule nisi granted.
GLOCCESTER.—In the Court of Common Pleas, Mr. J.
0. Griffits, or behalf of one of the sitting members for
Gloucester, also moved to set aside the petition on a
similar ground, and also on the ground that the petitioner
had entered into the security for part of the £l,OOO. Rule
nisi granted.

GIBRALTAR.

Admiral Grey writes to the Times in answer to
Sir Edward I3elcher, on the Gibraltar question. Ile
admits that Gibraltar is strong by land and sea, but
he repeats his former statement that it does not
possess a good harbour in time of peace. With
respect to Ceuta he considers it as healthy as
Gibraltar, and it would be well worth while to con-
struct a harbour there. He would throw out a break-
water similar to that at Portland. As far as he is
concerned, the Admiral would willingly drop the
subject, concluding with his former suggestion, that
Ceuta should be delivered to us for the formation of
a breakwater ten years prior to the delivery of
Gibraltar, and this would be the best bargain for
England.

EMIGRATION OF PAUPERS.

Some remarks are made upon the question of emi-
gration for paupers as recommended by the Times,
and it is said that the Poor-law Guardians will not
forward the scheme. The farmers form the great
majority of the guardians in the country, and they
beliew it to be for their interest that a certain
amount of unemployed labour should be supported
by the Union. They dread the increase in the rate
of wages which would follow upon the absence of
unemployed labour. There are exceptions to the
rule, but it seems to explain the reason why country
guardians are so unwilling to encourage emigration.
London, England, 1869-01-15

SPAIN.

Three ladies of high rank have presented to Marshal
Serrano a petition, signed by 15,000 Spanish women, pro-
testing against religious liberty and religious toleration.
This document was drawn up in no measured terms ; in
fact, the Spanish ladies seem to have resolved to give the
Provisional Government " a piece of their mind." The
men in power were upbraided for the impious and sacri-
legious line of policy they have hitherto followed, were
Jared to persevere in such a course at their peril, and warned
%hat they were bound to maintain the Roman Catholic
:with in its integrity and purity. The Times correspon-
dent attributes this open defiance to the tardiness with
vhich the revolution has been accomplished, or rather to
the indefinite postponement of its accomplishment. The
Provisional Government began with religious liberty, but
did not finish it. They expelled the Jesuits and shut up
the convents, but they left the rest for the Cortes. The
Spanish ladies now come forward and demand, not
implore, that the whole question shall be left to the Cortes.
They have got over their dread of an assembly elected by
universal suffrage ; it is by no means certain that the
issue will be against them, and they therefore insist that
the nation should wholly decide what it is called upon to
decide in part.
