THE HOLBORN VIADUCT.

4e.
Yesterday, Mr. Haywood, the City engineeer'
formally reported to the Improvement Committee
that, in his opinion, the Farringdon-street 130:1g
31
of the Holborn Viaduct is perfectly safe. Fie
,d'

WAIL AGAINST LANDLORDS.

The land agitation is producing some very deplo-
rable results in Westmeath and other parts of Ireland.
.We have heard a good deal about tyranny to tenants;
there now arises one or two cases of robbery of land-
lords. A correspondent of the Daily Express states
that the agent of a landlord in Westmeath, going to
collect his rents, was met by the stern assurance that
no money would be paid until Parliament had
settled the land question. "On mildly expostulating,
and asking what Mr. was to do—that he was a
good employer, and how could he continue to be
such without being paid his rents—the answer was
—' Let him live now on what he has wrung from
us ; he had his turn, and now it is ours.' This gen-
tleman is a Roman Catholic/ and his agent, a kind-
hearted man, had to return to him without one shilling."
Another instance seems to point to organised coercion.
Some old leases recently fell in on the estate of a
landlord whom the correspondent describes as an
excellent proprietor, and, with the assent of the
tenants, the rents were raised to what was admitted
to be only the just value of the land. For some time
the increased rent was paid ; but on the Ist of this
month the tenants received a notice ordering
them to pay only the rent under the old
leases. Whence this order came does not
appear; but the tenants have been afraid to disregard
it, and have accordingly tendered the lesser sum,
which was of course refused. Another landlord for-
gave a defaulting tenant three half-years' rent, and
paid, in addition, £l5O to regain possession of a farm
which the tenant was unable to cultivate. The result
is that the person who has .been thus treated has
sent several threatening letters to his late landlord.

THE EFFECTS OF TRADES' UNIONS.

Mr. George Potter once more takes up the cause of
Trades' UnioniSts. Mr. Edmund Ashworth wrote a
letter to prove that the badness of trade was owing
to the operation of the Unions; Mr. Potter holds that
whatever . may be the cause of the depression it
is not to be attributed to the combinations
of workmen. But his defence is found wanting by
the Times, which insists that strikes and similar
movements have driven various branches of manu-
facture out -of England. No doubt workmen
can do . as they please with their own
labour ; but there is one question which
has never been satisfactorily settled, either by
Mr. Potter or any other advocate of Unions. If Mr.
POtter wished to set his friends right with the
public, he should have simply stated that it was not
the " function" of a Trade Union to concern itself
with the views or proceedings of any but
its . own members. Such an affirmation
would exonerate the Unions from blame ; but the
Times affirms that it has never been made. " Although
Mr. Potter and his colleagues
this assurance, they
have most carefully abstained from doing so, and they
leave us, therefore, with the unavoidable impression
p
that, whatever they may think of Free Trade gene-
rally, they will not, if they can help it, allow the right
of individual freedom.to the British workman."

THE HOLBORN VIADUCT.

The authorities have some consolation to offer
respecting the cracks in the granite columns that
support the iron bridge by which the Holborn
Viaduct is carried over Farringdon-street. The
occurrence is unfortunate, certainly, but the damage,
it seems, has been over-estimated. The cracks are a
great blemish to the beauty of the structure, but
they involve no danger to the safety of the bridge.
T;lere will, it seems, he no difficulty in repairing the
di2aster. But several judges hold that granite
pillars were not the best supports for such an enor-
mous burden, mid that the. only means of effectual
repair will be to substitute other material.
This is hardly a statisfactory issue to so many years'
labour, immediately after the completion of the work.

THE BRIGLT SIDE OF IRISH LIFE.

It is pleasant to be reminded that in many cases
the relations of property in Ireland are better than is
generally represented. A day or two ago the
tenants on the Kilfane and Tipperary estates of Sir
John Power met to present Mr. and Mrs.
Power with a testimonial on the occasion
of their marriage. On this large property the best
agreement prevails between the owner and the cul.
tivator. Sir John and Lady Power deal liberally
with those under them ; during the famine thousands
of pounds were expended in drainage; and since that
time much has been done in the interests of the occupier.
The result is that the kindliest feeling is felt by the
latter to his landlord. This testimonial meeting was
of the most enthusiastic kind. The Times correspon-
dent, after noticing the occurrence, adds :—" Such de-
monstrations offer an agreeable contrast to the
organised exhibitions of discontent which are kept
in the foreground of Irish public life. They are not
confined to Sir J. Power's tenantry. It would be an
interesting, inquiry how many estates, covering a
large area in the country, have given similar proofs
of prosperity and contentment within the last ten
years." The writer thinks they are many.

TUE O'DONOGIIUE'S BACKING OUT.

Mr. Smith, who acted on behalf of the O'Donoghue
rn the matter of the late challenge to fight a duel,
claims the sole credit of the settlement of the affair.
From the time he accepted the position of second,
he determined to avert actual combat if it
were possible. He found it in his power to pre.
vent the shedding of blood ; taking advantage of the
occasion he stepped in between the two would-be
duellists. Mr. Smith tells us that it was " all
by chance " that the two Irish M.P.'s did not
come together at Boulogne. Major Lynch
accidentally came across him at Charing-cross
Station just as he was starting with his princi-
pal for the Continent ; if they had not so fallen
together a meeting must have been the result. So
The O'Donoghue must not he charged with cowardice,
or Mr. Moore of being afraid; Mr. Smith, however, is a
first-class diplomatist. Thus " everything is satisfac-
tory to everybody."

THE QIIfEEN.

Her Majesty is casting off the remembrance of the
past more and more. On Saturday she had a long
day in London, and during the week she has been
holding councils and giving audiences. Enthusiastic
royalists will no doubt see much significance, too, in
the fact that the Queen has, for the first time since
the Prince Consort's death, taken horse exercise. On
Wednesday she rode out with the Duchess of
Roxburgh.

TESTIMONIAL TO PROFESSOR SYME.

Readers interested in the progress of medical
scienco will be glad to hear that Professor Syme's
retirement from the chair of Clinical Surgery in the
University of Edinburgh is not to take place without
some expression of esteem being made to him. Both
in Edinburgh and in London a movement is progressing
amongst
tto seientificmen and the members of the
university erect a memorial to the retiring
lecturer. A meeting to further this object was
held on Wednesday in London. In the chair was
Professor Lyon Playfair, the member for the
Universities of Edinburgh and St. Andrew's :
among the speakers were Sir Roderick Murchi-
son, Sir Henry Thompson, and Mr. Paget ; and
Mr. Thomas Carlyle wrote offering hlO towards
a Syme testimonial: Resolutions were passed in
favour of a memorial. It was determined that it
in the of Edinburgh, to
should take the form of first, a fellowship for the pro-

GERMANY.

There seems a good chance now that Count Bismarck's
projected journey to Carlsruhe will take place. The object
of this visit is supposed to be the carrying out of a new
political combination, which will allow of the entrance of
the grand duchy of Baden into the Prussian Confederation.
It is believed in Berlin that General Fleury's mission in
Russia is to bring about an interview between the Emperor
Alexander and the Emperor Napoleon. The French Envoy
will propose that it should take place at Nice. A corre-
spondent of the New Free Tress mentions the same news.

THE POLES IN AUSTRIA.

The prorogation of the Gallician Diet has been delayed
in order that it may dispose of some important questions
of local administration. The Diet afforded an instance of
Its wisdom and public spirit in rejecting the proposals of
the Polish " irreconciliables" who wished to cause a
rupture with Austria. In spite of the efforts
which Herr Smalka and the extreme party
made, the majority decided upon sending delegates
to the Reichsrath as heretofore. The Austrian Govern-
ment, on its side, has exhibited far greater moderation, and
seems more inclined to yield to the demands contained in
the resolution just passed by the Diet. The governor of
the province has used his influence to induce the Assembly
to act in a constitutional manner, and so promote the
interests of the country.

DEATH OF A BARONESS.

The death is announced of Baroness Windsor in
the 72nd year of her age. She was daughter of the
fifth Earl of Plymouth, an extinct title, and married
in 1819 the Hon. Robert Henry Clive, the son of the
Earl of Powis. She took the title of Baroness Windsor
in 1855. The barony had been in abeyance since
1833, and it was in the first named year terminated
in her favour. She was the patron of three livings.
Her successor is Robert George, son of the late Sir

This cause ccWrd, in which Sir Charles Mordaunt, of
Walton Hall, Warwickshire, seeks for a divorce from
his wife, the co-respondents being Sir Frederick
Johnstone and Viscount Cole, will not be tried
this term. The question at —resent in issue
is the sanity of the lady—on which, of course, rests the
point whether she can file her answer to the petition—and
the reason it is deferred is the state of the special jury
list, there being so many cases set down before the Blor-
daunt case that there will not be time to try it.

VAST LONDON HOSPITAL for CHILDREN.
The Committee earnestly desire to raise funds which
shall enable them to establish the Hospital in more suit-
able buildings. The 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 be 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.
Contributions will bo thankfully received by the Trea-

A private despatch from Spain states that the can-

in a very satisfactory manner, but the partisans of the
Duke will not give up their efforts. Theis: open quarrel
with the Unionists who follow Admiral Topete has
greatly diminished their chance of success, and the pro-
♦isional state of things in Spain does not seem likely to

SOUTHWARK.

The Spectator, presuming that Mr. Odger will be
the working man's candidate for Southwark, strongly
hopes that no middle class representative will offer
to oppose him. " The last session sufficiently shewed
how very much Parliament needs the aid of experi-
enced and able men of the working class, and it will
he a fatal thing for the middle-class if it comes to be
believed that they will not tolerate any mouthpiece
taken from amongst a less wealthy section of society.
That is the sort of belief which in time generates violent
social rancours, and, in the end, hate of the comfortable
classes." The Spectator's fears are just, but its hopes
are in vain. There is not the slightest prospect that
the disinterested middle-class Liberals will leave
Southwark to the working men.

THE PUNISHMENT OF BRIBERS.

The Attorney-General has at last taken action
against some of those who occupied a prominent part
in corrupting the voters at Norwich last November.
At Sir Robert Collier's instance, processes have
been issued against Hardiment, llulme, Ban-
father, and a Mr. Edward Stracey. The
last-named person, who is a son of Sir Henry
Stracey, decamped some months since, before his evi-
dence could be taken ; some difficulty has therefore
been experienced in serving the legal document upon
him. This, however, has been got over by leaving
the process at his last known residence.

THE RECENT HIGH 'WAVES.

The sea wall of the port of Oran, for a length of 800
metres, has just been completely destroyed by an immense
tidal wave. During the preceding night the Mediter-
ranean had been raging with great violence, and at eleven
in the morning a first breach, forty feet wide, was made,
and from that moment the wall rapidly broke up. The
spray from some of the waves reached a height of more
than a hundred yards. Many vessels were for a time in
great danger, but were at length moored to a place of
safety.

TILE DUILE OF EDINIMIRGII IN JAPAN.

On the 4th of September the Duke of Edinburgh paid a
visit to the Mikado of Japan at Yeddo, and was received
with great honour. The Japanese in the street through
which lie passed paid him an unexpected compliment,
closing all their upper windows and sealing them with
paper bands, that nono might look down on him. This is
only done in Japan for the Sovereign or for a Daimio
in his own capital, but no Japanese prince ever receives
such a token of respect from his imperial master. The
Mikado received his royal visitor in the great audience
chamber in the castle on perfectly equal terms, both stand-
ing. The interview was short, the Mikado giving the Prince
a cordial welcome to Japan, to which the visitor made
a suitable reply, after which some of the Prince's suite
were presented raid the interview terminated. Afterwards
refreshments were served, and the Prince, with Admiral
Keppel, Sir Harry Parkes, and his interpreter, was received
by the Mikado in a pavilion in the palace gardens,
The interpreter, who accompanied the Prince, was an
Englishman, so that the Mikado for the first time heard
his language spoken by a foreigner. The Duke of Edin-
burgh offered a splendid diamond snuffbox to the Mikado
before leaving, and the Japanese ruler accepted the
brilliant gift with evident satisfaction.
