EASTERN =ROPE.

The Indlpendance Beige very fairly sums up the net gain
by the Paris Conference. It is clear that it can have no
practical result beyond contributing something to the
temporary postponement of war. It cannot effect the
slightest change in the policy of Greece; it cannot
prevent intrigues in Roumania, agitation in Servia
and Bulgaria, inquietude in Turkey; but its great
value consists in its being a tangible evidence
of the difficulty of breaking the peace of Europe, except
for the most serious quarrels. The advocates of war are
numerous, but no sooner do they become dangerous than
all the friends of peace unite against them. As to Eastern
affairs, they go on just as usual. 11Iontenegro wants a
seaport, Roumania a change of government, and now
Servia is about to add its voice to the chorus of malcon-
tents. According to the Liberte, it is about to address a j
note to the Great Powers, urging the rectification of its i
frontier on the side of Bosnia.

.tiIjERIA T 4 PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF LORDS—LAST EVENING.
Tluir lordobips reassembled at 5 o'clock.
THE ADDRESS.

Lord CARYSFORT moved an address to her Majesty
in answer to her Speech on the opening of Parliament.
IE4 lordship said it was matter of high gratification that
so satisfactory a state of things existed as set forth in the
Iloyal Speech. He hoped the address he then had the
honour to move would be carried unanimously.
Viscount MONCK seconded the motion, and in doing
so touched upon the various topics contaiued in the
Speech they had heard, and said he felt .certain the
arrangemeuts made therein would give general satis-
faction.

Lord CAIRNS commended the caution of the Royal
Speech. He doubted whether the end proposed by the
Conference, if agreed in by the great Powers, might not
have been attained by direct representations to Greece
without so hazardous a machinery. He could not go into
the subject of the Irish Church without further light as to
the Government plan than was afforded by tbe rather for-
tuitous collocation of nouns and adjectives in which the
Speech alluded to it. Finally, he appealed to the Govern-
ment not to let the time of the house be wasted, as some-
times it had been, up to 'Whitsuntide.
Lord GRANVILLE was grateful for the tone of Lord
Cairns' observations. The preliminary resolutions with
regard to the Irish Church would be moved in the other
house on the Ist of March.
Their lordships adjourned at seven o'clock.

.=ODiNALS;,

The Times thinks that the lamb-like character of the
opening night of the session may he partly attributed 01
the fact that the battle of the Irish Church has been
gready fought and won. It is knoWn now as fully by the
froht rank of the Opposition as by the Treasury liencb
that the destiny of the Irish Establishment is a question
of the past. As Lord Dufferin truly said at Belfast last
week, there are certain declarations for which the Notil)
waits, but when once made they cannot be recalled. Like'
the Duke of Wellington, when he said that either Catholic
Emancipation must be conceded or a rebellion he
encountered; like Sir Robert Peel, when he declared the
the porn laws must be repealed or the guilt of an aggra4
va4d famine borne by Parliament—and as in each as°
the Legislature ratified the opinions of its leaders—sou°
tile word has gone forth that the Irish Establishment
must be abolished, and all men know that it must be 012°'
lished. So it may turn out that the session will be a5l
sion of equanimity, varied by fierce but transient and
harmless contests, for it is a session devoted to the sanction
of a foregone conclusion. It is to the Ist of Marc'
that we must look forward to discover the CUP
tinctive character of the session, for on that evening tli:
real work of the House is to begin. The session of 10"
may not be marked by the narrow and doubtful contest°
of former years, but it must afford enough to satisfy el
moderate ambition. Mr. Gladstone said yesterday, with
a frankness which provoked an ironical laugh from t'
Opposition, that the Government would be happy if tile!
accomplished everything they had ventured to recommend'
This is the simple truth. We are entering on a semi°
which must be a session of hard work, if of nothing elt
From the let of March to the Ist of August there
scarcely be a day of leisure for those whose business it is°
go down into the great waters of political life.
The Morning Post says that whatever objections the
hypercritical might take to the clumsiness of the language
employed by the composers of the speech, none could
with any prospect of success have been raised to the
policy indicated, and the Conservative leader showed
his accustomed sagacity in permitting this portion of
the speech to pass almost sub silentio. The Ministri
will at an early period submit their scheme to the
House of Commons, and then, under the leadership
of the right hon. member for Buckinghamshire, the Cow
servative party will no doubt fight gallantly in what the
conceive to be the cause of Church and State. With,
peace abroad and at home, the Reformed Parliament cons'
mences its first session under the happiest auspices. We
re-echo the concluding prayer of the Speech WA
the Throne, that its labours may be brought to a happy
issue.

MR. BRIGHT AND THE IRISH CHURCH.

The Morning Advertiser points attention to the
fact that in the recently-published volume of Mr.
Bright's speeches there is given also one letter from
Mr. Bright. As this one has been singled out above
all those which he has written, importance must be
attached to it, and it may be fairly supposed to
represent his views at the present time. This letter
refers to the Irish Church, and was written in 1852.
Its views are, according to the Advertiser, identical
in principle with those set forth in Lord
Russell's last letter. Mr. Bright assumes that the
value of the Church revenues is equal to a capital
of £10,000,000. He proposes that a commission
should hold this property in trust, and appropriate
£1,000,000 of it to each of the three Churches in
Ireland. He adds that the remaining £7,000,000
ought to be reserved for purposes strictly Irish, and
directed to the educational and moral impyovement
of the people, without respect to class or creed. The
Advertiser infers that Earl Russell knew perfectly
well what he was about when he published his letter.
He knew that the most vigorous and determined
man in the Cabinet was on his side, and he said to
himself, " You may groan or you may grumble, but
you will have to do it after all." :Needless to say
that our contemporary protests against any such
scheme Lw this, and declares that it has no right to
be proposed to Parliament, because it was never
before the public.

OBITUARY.

The Times obituary contains the names of five
persons who have died at over 80 years of age, one
of them at 92. Among the others are Mr. Wardrop,
surgeon to George IV., and who was 87, and Mr.
Gye, formerly M.P. for Chippenham, who was 89.
Mr. Wardrop is understood to have left some MS.
which throws much light upon the character of his
royal patient. As that character will scarcely bear
much light, no doubt the MS. will be judiciously
suppressed.
London, England, 1869-02-17

SPAIN.

Though the opening of the Cortes Constituentes was a
rather riotous performance, there can he no doubt that
the ceremony awakened an amount of public interest and
enthus'asm very rare in Spain. Perhaps some of this' is
to be accounted for on the supposition that though the
Spaniards have not learnt to appreciate universal suffrage,
they have not forgotten their love for a spectacle. The
crowd outside and inside the building in which the
assembly met was enormous. The route by which
the members of the Provisional Government reached
the Congress was thronged by enthusiastic thousands, the
building was filled as soon as the doors were opened, and
at the review, which followed the inaugural ceremony, all
Madrid, speaking not metaphorically, was present,
Isabella can hardly derive much hope from the account
of that day's proceedings. The absence of all but the
most trifling demonstrations of hostile feeling shows that
the Spanish may yet be led by a good Government, as well
as driven by a bad one. The Times eloquent correspondent
says that the opening of the Cortes created a feeling of
unutterable relief and at the same time of gratified pride
in the hearts of all men, both in the Provisional Govern-
ment and among the people. They have every reason to
congratulate themselves on the achievement. There is no
instance on record of another nation living for so long a
period of time in utter uncertainty of its own destinies,
and trusting with so heroic a faith men whom chance, and
not choice, had charged with the guidance of those desti-
nies.

The same writer gives other important intelligence.
The election of Rivero as President of the Cortes by a
large majority over Olozaga throws much light upon the
complication of parties. Olozaga, who is far more Con-
servative than Rivero, was the candidate of the Unionists
—the most Conservative of the popular parties. Prim
supported Olozaga more out of respect for his
engagements with Serrano than from any preference
for the candidate of less advanced opinions. The election
was determined by a large number of Progressists disre-
garding their leader and voting with the Democrats and the
Republicans. The Times correspondent believes that Prim
was secretly rejoiced at this. The Progressist leader has
lost all hope, and perhaps all desire, to save the monarchy,
and is disposed to allow the country to drift into a
republic. He will certainly never vote for Montpensier,
and a Bourbon or Don Fernando is equally unlikely.
On the other hand, the Liberte, which has conjured up
several royal phantoms only to have the satisfaction of
seeing them quietly exorcised, announces that Don
Fernando has consented to become the candidate of the
Government.

In commercial circles it is noted with satisfaction that
the address read by Marshal Serrano at the opening of
the Cortes contained a direct promise that the Government
intended to fulfil all its monetary obligations.

TR 4.DES UNIONISM IN BRISTOL.

Trades unions have just been exhibited in their best
aspect at a meeting held at the Broadmead-rooms. Bristol.
Tho object was the presentation of £lOO to a permanently
disabled member. Mr. Handel Cossham, who was in the
chair, delivered an interesting address, denouncing class legis-
lation, and declaring that combinations for lawful purposes
should be permissible alike among masters and workmen. Tho
property of trades-unions should bo protected the same as
the property of an individual, and their funds preserved from
fraud or misuse. Mr. Boss said that ho believed the best
thing that law could do was to remove the restrictions
that stood in the way of trade and commerce, and
let industry of all kinds have fair play, not
subjecting it to any unnecessary restrictions. Mr.
Bobert Applegarth, the secretary, afterwards delivered
a lecture on trades' unions from the working man's point of
view, He said that some people imagined that trades'
unions were established for the sole purpose of increasing
wages and obtaining shorter hours, forgetting altogether their
benevolent aspect. Mr. Applegarth went on to show the
great difficulties under which unorganised labour suffered,
specially mentioning the "slop workers," the labourers in
the docks, and the agricultural labourers. The Post-office
employes, and the railway porters again had no trades
unions, and like other unorganised branches of industry,
they were ill paid. Their opponents then must point to
some better specimens than these before they could tell
them that they would do as well without trades unions as
with them. Alluding to the want of education
among English workmen, the speaker expressed his
surprise that they had got on as well as
they had, and advocated a system of compulsory education.
The member for whose benefit the meeting was called cer-
tainly furnished a favourable specimen of the advantages
conferred by such a society, since he only joined it in 11;66,
paying £3 13s. Gd. during his two years of mernbevQhin
and receiving since his accident the sum of X 137.

A factory belonging to the Nottingham 'Manufac-
turing Company Limited, at Loughborough, was destroyed
by fire on Saturday evening. The damage is reported at
between £4,000 and £5,000.
The testimonial subscribed for by the Liberals of
Cambridgeshire to their late member, Mr. R. Young, amounts
to upwards of GOO guineas. Mr. Young desired that the
money should be applied to the provisions of a dispensary
at Wisheach. The committee have, however, decided to
present the testimonial in tho shape of a dinner service, and
a suite of jewellery for Mrs. Young. The presentation is to
take place at a banquet, to bo given at the Guildhall, Cam-
bridge, on the 24th inst. The Right Hon. John Bright and
other members of Parliament have igomised to attend.

THE DOMINION OF CANADA.

Mr. Joseph Howe has accepted office in the Canadian
Cabinet as President of the Privy Council. The Foil
deems this a sign that the fierce anti-union feeling in Nova
Scotia has greatly diminished. Much of this good result,
our contemporary thinks, is due to Mr. Howe, who endea-
voured to mitigate the demands of his countrymen as
soon as he found that it was hopeless to insist upon
them. The practical effect of this change of policy has
been most beneficial. Not only does it put an end to the
dispute between Nova Scotia and tbe rest of the Dominion►,
but in all probability Newfoundland, which might have
remained out of the Union. will new join it. Prince
Edward's Island will then follow, and As the annexation
of the Hudson's Bay Territory is merely a matter of
money, 1869 may yet witness the un ion, under ona

CUBA.

A -letter from a very well-informed personage in Cuba
states that the only terms upon which the insurgents
will consent to treat are complete emancipation and a
Government similar to that of Canada. By the system
of avoiding general engagements, and harassing the troops
over a trackless country, the insurrection continues to hold
Its wround.

lIIISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

THE COMING BATTLE.

The rumours which usually usher in a new session
are afloat. All kinds of strange things are whispered
under the rose by those who profess to know the
workings of the minds of the great political men.
Notwithstanding the Premier's cheery declaration at
Fishmongers' Hall, that the path indicated by the
people as to the Irish Church was too unmistakeable
to admit of the Government turning back in the
road it has taken; notwithstanding that there
is not the slightest foundation for it, the
" lounger at the clubs" will persist in spreading
the story that " Gladstone has not made up his
mind, you may depend upon it." Simultaneously
we have the announcement that Earl Russell has
made up his mind, and that he is going to move an
amendment on Mr. Gladstone's bill. This last state-
ment it would indeed be difficult to contradict, for,
having changed his mind so often, who could say that
the noble lord will not, when the bill conies to be
read a second time, enroll himself as an aide-de-camp
to Lord Cairns, and make a powerful speech against
all change.

TILE PREMIER ACCORDING TO ORANGEMEN.

The Orangemen of Manchester met together to
keep their spirits up on Monday night. The prin-
cipal " gun " of the evening was a most extravagant
abuse of Mr. Gladstone. This seems to amuse our
Protestant defenders immensely, and they cheered
the speaker to the echo. The Satanic ambition of
the Premier, said the chairman to the excited
meeting, reminded him of the individual of whom
Milton said that he

" Would rather reign in hell than serve in heaven."

A thief was a thief, whether he was Prime Minister
or peer ; and the robber and spoliator of
the Irish Church must be a thief. Orangeism
represented 500,000 men ; armed men ; for they
must remember that the Bill of Rights gave to all
Protestants the privilege of bearing arms. He would
have to ask a great army of English and Scotch
Orangemen, and a vast army in the Canada s. If
Mr. Gladstone wished to break up the British Empire,
or if he liked to " cry havoc, and let loose the dogs of
war," the sooner he started the better. This very
mild and Christianli!ie speech was made, be it
observed, in defence of religion.

The balance of the year's income was £68,026 9s. 4d.
The assets of the association. at the close of the year
amounted to £667,493 Bs. 511.
The directors draw special attention to the fact thet the
next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year
1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales priorto the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate
in the same.
The directors also draw attention to the successful esta-
blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire
Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc-
tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to
work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much
to the advantage and profit of both institutions. It is
scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and
constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.
