LORD BYRON AND GREECE.

The success of the Greek kingdom has not been such
as to keep up the Philhellenic enthusiasm which was so
universal in Europe during the original war of indepen-
dence, and which led to the armed intervention of the
three leading European Powers. Greece is now left almost
without friends, except those bound to her by ties of
interest; but in her present forsaken condition she does
not forget her old defenders. The municipality of Misso-
longlai has determined to commemorate Lord Byron by a
monument on the spot where he died, in April 1829. The
corporation will bear half the expense of this memorial to
the great upholder of Greek independence ; the rwif
be raised by public subscription.

REMARKS.

A decrease of atmospherical pressure in the west has set in with
considerable rapidity since last evening, and the reading at Valencia
this morning is nearly half an inch lower than that of yesterday.
The diminution has been slight on the east coast and in the south
of France, and pressure at Cape Griz Sez is now 0.7 in. higher than
that at Valencia. Temperature has decreased in the north and east,
but a rise has occurred in the south-west and on the west coast of
France. A southerly gale has set in on the south coast of Ireland
during the night, and is still continuing. On our other coasts mode-
rate to fresh south-easterly winds hare been and now are prevalent.
The sky remains overcast, and rain is falling in the S. W. of Ireland.
The sea is very high at Valencia. Warnings issued to the westward
and southern coasts.

A TERRIBLE TILREAT.

Pius IX. is, or ought to be, shaking in his shoes.
At the general election the Conservatives, to the
surprise of themselves no less than of their opponents,
succeeded in carrying both seats for Salford. It was
their one large town to which they have ever since
been referring as a proof of the progress of Conser-
vatism among the working classes. There was this
singularity about the election, that KO electors who
had promised to support the Liberals voted for the
Conservatives. The Liberals believe that this change
is susceptible of a very easy explanation, and they
have petitioned against Messrs. Charley and Cawley
on the ground of bribery. Mr. Charley is
indignant, and he has uttered a terrible threat. He
says : " In defending the Church in Ireland, he had
been most careful to avoid giving offence to the
Roman Catholics. It was a difficult thing to do, but
he believed Bishop Turner gave him credit for it.
But he gave them warning that, if they succeeded in
upsetting him, he would make the cry of 'No
Popery' ring throughout the borough. Ile
would carry the propaganda of Protestant prin-
ciples through the length and breadth of the land;
he would light a torch which neither Pope nor
Pagan, Manning nor Bradlaugh, would find could be
easily extinguished; he would take up that torch
which Mr. Gladstone ardently wished to put out—the
torch of Protestant ascendancy, and carry it aloft
wherever he went." Evidently bad times are in store
for " Pope," though NV e do not exactly see what
" Pagan " has to fear. There is just this consolation
for the first, that if Mr. Charley suppressed his Pro-
testantism in order to win a seat, the expression of it
after losing his seat will seem like insincerity, and
due rather to revenge than to conviction.

THE 44 COMICS" ON THE IRISH SITUATION.

There is a remarkable similarity and dissimilarity
between the cartoons in Punch and Fun this week.
There is very little humour in either ; they are both
about Ireland, and each contains a figure of
Justice, a portrait of Mr. Gladstone, and a representa-
tion of the " typical Irishman." Here, however,
the similarity ends. Mr. Gladstone is figured in
Punch as offering up the Irish Church as a sacrifice
to Justice, and declaring that the Church is not
sacrificed to Papists or assassins, and he is doing this
at the very moment that the murderer is using his
rifle. Fun's Irishman is an Orangeman waving the
flag of Protestant Ascendancy, who is being banshed
by Ha rlequin Mr. Gladstone, together with Fenianism,
hoc genus omne, and Mr. Disraeli ; Mr. Gladstone's
magic wand being " religious equality."

FOURTH COURT.

Three men, named Myers (receiver), Stevens, and
Jefferys, were indicted for stealing 24 bales of
cochineal, valued £5OO, the property of Walter
Hartley.

The jury found all the prisoners guilty. Myers
was sentenced to 10 years' penal servitude, Stevens
to 12 months, and Jeffery to 18 months' imprison-
ment.

TOTAL DES7RUC7ION OF A THEATRE
BY FIRE.

GLASGOW, Wednesday, Midnight.—Shortly after
the closing of the Prince of Wales Theatre, this
evening it was found to be on fire. The flames
spread with great rapidity, and terminated in the
total destruction of the building. The theatre is
situated on the north-western (in Cowcaddens) side
of Glasgow, and has been built within the last 18
months.

ECCLESIASTICAL IT .M'_

It is thought probable that the canonry or Worcester,
vacant by the death of Canon Fortescue, will be bestowed
upon Dr. Irons, vicar of 13rompton. who has always sup-
ported Mr. Gladstone at Oxford.

Lord Shaftesbury has prepared a bill for the amendment
of the Ecclesiastical Courts, and would have already laid

no business is allowed until the Queen's Speech has been

It is intended to form a new bishopric in Australia, to
be called the diocese of Bathurst. It will comprise the

The Archbishop of Canterbury has removed the inhibi-

London. Father Ignatius, we hear, will not return to St.
Edmund's Church, but will select some other City church

EITSSIA.

Mr. Stuart Mill's gallantry leads him in the spirit to
St. Petersburg. The ladies of that capital are endeavour-
ing to promote the higher education of the Russian women,
and Mr. Mill has written to congratulate them on the
movement. "Thanks to you, ladies, Russia may gain
upon the progress of the most enlightened nations of
Europe. Such a result would prove that civilisation
recently developed sometimes embraces great ideas of im-
provement before those of older date." Certainly Russia
deserves some credit for her exertions of late years. The
t-Tnancipation of the serfs has been followed by prodigious
effoi:ks to construct a railway system, and education,
crimina2q, and commerce have all received much attention.

TIIE ITTI.N.DSOR .EL_EC77OII7 PETITIOIV.

The trial of the petition against the return of Mr.
I:ykyn was resumed at ten o'clock yesterday morning.
Me Rev. Mr. Carter, in whose hands the sovereign
intended for the witness Smith was placed by Mr. Eykyn,
stated that Mr. Eykyn left the sovereign with him
instead of giving it to Smith himself, in order that it
might not lead to a petition. Mr. Eykyn shewed witness
letter, gating that Smith was in very distressed circum-
stances, and the sovereian was intended for him purely
In consequence of that letter. Witness undertook to
rive the sovereign to Smith ; but, finding afterwards that
the story contained in the letter was untrue, he retained
possession of the money, which he still had. Mr. Eykyn
had often given him alms to distribute. Witness was a
Conservative, and supporter of Colonel Gardner.—Mr.
Justice Willes said the act proved in evidence was a
dangerous one, but it was doubtful whether it came within
the definition of bribery.—John Eldridge, painter,
said Mr. Herbert gave him some work to do and pro-
mised him other work on the understanding that he would
vote right. As witness promised his vote to Colonel
Gardner he got no more work from Herbert.

THE MAYOR, OF CORK.

All the journals, except those of the extremest
opinions, join in condemning the Mayor of Cork.
He seems to be altogether unfitted for his position.
Ile begins by a speech which topples on the very
verge of treason ; he becomes so excited at a panto-
mime that he raises an uproar in the theatre, and
has to be pacified by the boxkeeper. While presid-
ing in open court, he gives it as his opinion that the
police have improperly prosecuted, and his brother
magistrates improperly detained, innocent persons—
thus insulting those with whom it is his duty to act.
He pleads with the corporation committee to have
a tender by a Roman Catholic accepted, notwith-
standing that it was evidently a less advantageous one
than that offered by a person of a different belief.
Now we have a more flagrant illustration of his
bigotry. The permanent secretary to the mayoralty
is a Protestant, it would seem. Mr. Sullivan has
been trying to oust him from his office, in order to
put in his place a co-religionist.
PROFESSOR BEESLY ON THE WORKING CLASSES.

If Professor Beesly has one firm conviction it is
that trades unions are the greatest blessings to the
working man which this modern age has produced.
So strongly does he defend these institutions even
"in their darkest hour," that Puncl sonic time since
inserted a"t" in his name. The Professor
has been giving utterance at Bradford to
eulogies on his beloved organisation. Co-operation
was a mighty fine thing in its way, but it
had nothing to trades unions. The tendency
of co-operation was to increase the number of
small capitalists, who would ultimately become
supports of the great capitalists. He looked to
trades unions as the means that would give the
greatest amount of permanent good to the workman.
He defended unionism on the ground that it had a
tendency not only to benefit the good workman, but
to raise up the middle-class and inferior workman,
td give a stability to wages, and to prevent those
fluctuations of wages which had a tendency to
unsettle the habits of the artisans.

CONSERVATIVE BANQUET.

On Tuesday a banquet was held at Idle, in connection
with the Conservative Working Men's Association. Mr.
Alderman Terry, of Bradford, the President of the Associa-
tion, occupied the chair, and some other gentlemen at-
tended. Mr. Wheelhouse, M.P., made some obser-
vations on public affairs. He thought that it was
one thing to speak of the disestablishment of the
Irish Church on general grounds, and another
to deal with it in particular details. He believed that the
Irish land question was one of far more consequence than
that of the Irish Church, and that they had better take the
worst grievance first. Tho state of the poor of this country
was a matter of grave importance, and a revision of the
oor law would be found necessary.

North Wales is to have a " Grand Conservative
Demonstration." The party men of Denbighshire are about
to hold a banquet to celebrate the return for the seventh
time of Sir Watkin Wynn.
Le Figaro of Wednesday announces that VietorEm-
manuel has written to the Pope, wishing "to return to the
sbeep.fold, from which the Papal bull of excommunication
has driven him."

Le Figaro says that Prince Napoleon's condition is
bcconiing wore aerials. He has bad a return of the fever,
during which even his most intimate friends were forbidden
admission to his bedroom. For forty-eight hours the Prince
was delirious, "and," Le Figaro adds significantly, "the de-
lirium of princes necessitates closed doors."

On Tuesday morning, the marriage of Lord Ar-
chibald Campbell, second son of the Duke and Duchess of
Argyll, and Miss Jane Callender, youngest daughter of the
late Mr. James Callender, of Craigforth, Stirlingshire, and
ward of the Duke of Argyll, was celebrated at St. George's
Church, Notting-hill.
Another aristocratic marriage has just taken place.
It was that of Lord Ernest Vane Tempest, youngest son of
the late Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry, to Mi,s

MAILS TO AMERICA.

The First Lord of the Treasury has received a
memorial from merchants of London respecting the
new arrangements for the mails to the United States.
The memorialists call attention to what they term
the extraordinary conduct of the Post Office in not
renewing the contract with the Hamburg-American
Com pany,wh ose boats left every Friday, and are among
the fastest Mica • vhile they have concluded a new 2rl'con-
tract with the Ltmard Company for a mail by their
slow cargo boats on Tuesday. The memorialistshold
that the payment of so large a sum-30,000 a year
—in addition to the sum paid for the Cunard
New York service, for the conveyance of mails by
slow cargo-boats, is a scandalous waste of the public
money. All the other contracts for the American
mail service are paid for by the weight actually
carried, but the contracts with the Cunard Company
and the Inman and Halifax line are the only ones
where a fixed sum is paid ; so that every other line
has an inducement' to maintain a high rate of
speed, which is entirely wanting in the case of the
Cunard Company. The merchants are much
ankned that the Hamburg-American Company has
no contract this year, and have consequently gone to
Havre in,‘Atea.d of Southampton, as their port of call.
It appears i::kat the rates paid by the British Post
Office are least double those paid by
in the Americrn trade
the 'United ;._.:l4,ates for the same servic23.

It would be a gi:ctat boon to those interested
if the Hamburg--Ainclic
Company cot:
d be induce. 4. to resume 6the v.
voyages from Southampton,
^arrying• the
morning mails, and the merchants ,nresume that they.
would be willing to do so on rer,sonabitli terms,
as they

THE FIRE AT SAVILLE HOUSE.

The trial of Maurice, who surrendered to an in-
dictment charging him with attempting to obtain
a sum of money from a gas company by means of
fraud, was proceeded with, but broke down on a
point of law, and the defendant was discharged.

NEW COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Lush.)
THE CHARGE OF BIGAMY AGAINST A LADY.

Mrs. Eliza Lumley surrendered to an indictment
charging her with feloniously intermarrying with
Major Lumley, her former husband, M. Alexandre
Victor, being then alive.
The case, it will be recollected, was originally
heard at Marlborough-street Police-court, and ex-
cited considerable attention. The first marriage, it
was alleged, took place over 30 years ago in the
island of St. Heliers, in Jersey, and the cohabita-
tion extended over two years, after which a separa-
tion took place, and the defendant had lived as a
single woman until her marriage with Major
Lumley.
To prove the marriage of the defendant with M.
Alexandre Victor at St. Heliers in Jersey, the pro-
secuting counsel called Mr. Mathews, who stated
that he was the Registrar at St. Heliers, who ten-
dered a copy of thb registry of a marriage celebrated
between the defendant and M. Alexandre Victor.
He was not allowed to bring the original book
with him. Mr. Justice Lush thought the copy was
inadmissible, but he would consult his brother Keat-
ing. After having done so, his lordship said if asked
to give his decision now be should say the
copy was inadmissible. Mr. Giffard, the coun-
sel for the prosecution, said he should be able to
prove the marriage by other evidence, and then pro-
ceeded. The sister of the defendant, now Mrs.
Harriet Brewer, was then called, but her evidence
did not help on the prosecution, as she said she
was only about 10 years of age at the time, and her
recollection of matters that happened 32 years ago
was imperfect. She did not recognize the signa-
ture to the marriage celebrated in London as that
of her sister. Mrs. Grey, another acquaintance of
the defendant's, said she, when very young, lived
in St. Heliers, and knew the defendant. She re-
collected the defendant leaving and returning to
the island, when defendant told her that her
marriage with Victor was void, and that he was a
French convict.

The case was proceeding when we went to press.

THIRD COURT.

The case of M. Adolphe Ellison, who surren-
dered to an indictment, charging him with pub.
lirhing a libel concerning the Ottoman Railway
Company (Smyrna to Aida) was further proceeded
with this morning. No decision had been arrived
at when we went to press.
London, England, 1869-01-14

rNSEATED.

The first member unseated is a Liberal. He has
not, however, lost his seat through any misconduct,
but through an informality. At the election for
Wexford, a Mr. Motte had the show of hands, and
Mr. Devereux demanded a poll. Afterwards Mr. Motte
withdrew from the contest, and the sheriff thereupon
declared Mr. Devereux elected without going through
the formality of polling a few votes. It does not
appear from the telegram whether or not Mr.
Motte was declared by the court to be the member,
he having had the show of hands. It would be
rather a singular circumstance if Mr. Motte should
be elected against, or, at all events, without his wish.
The probability is that a fresh election will take
place, at which Mr. Devereux will be able to offer
himself.

to deal with it in particular details. He believed that the
Irish land question was ono of far more consequence than
that of the Irish Church, and that they had better take the
worst grievance first. The state of the poor of this country
was a matter of grave importance, and a revision of the
poor law would be found necessary.

North Wales is to have a " Grand Conservative

Le Figaro of Wednesday announces that Victor E-
mmanuel has written to the Pope, wishing "to return to the
sheep-fold, from which tho Papal bull of excommunication
has driven him."

Le Figaro says that Prince Napoleon's condition is
becoming more serious. He has had a return of the fever,
during which even his most intimate friends were forbidden
admission to his bedroom. For forty-eight hours the Prince
was delirious, "and," Le Figaro adds significantly, "the de-
lirium of princes necessitates closed doors."

Gibraltar possesses all the requirements of a military

The real importance of Gibraltar does not depend
upon its accommodation for merchant ships, and the

RUSSIA.

Mr. Stuart Mill's gallantry leads him in the spirit to
St. Petersburg. The ladies of that capital are endeavour.
ing to promote the higher education of the Russian women,
and Mr. Mill has written to congratulate them on the
movement. "Thanks to you, ladies, Russia may gain
upon the progress of the most enlightened nations of
Europe. Such a result would prove that civilisaticn
recently developed sometimes embraces great ideas of im-
provement before those of older date." Certainly Russia
deserves some credit for her exertions of late years. The
emancipation of the serfs has been followed by prodigious
efforts to construct a railway system, and education,
criminals, and commerce have all received much attention.

FREE BANKING.

There is no system more convenient than the one
allowing the issue of bank-notes, and there are few
systems more open to abuse. Some correspondents
of the Star have been carrying on an interesting dis-
cussion on the subject. The Secretary of the Bristol
Chamber of Commerce, now writes, laying down as
general propositions—l. That the proper business
of banking is the borrowing and lending of money,
and that that business is now as free as any busi-
ness can be, and much more so than many other
businesses, such as that of the publican, the
tobacconist, the grocer, &c. 2. That experience has
proved it is most injurious to the community to
allow promissory notes payable to bearer on demand
(commonly called bank-notes, or their equivalent) to
be issued, unless with adequate security, by a proper
compulsory reserve of gold for their redemption at
all times. The last proposition will hardly be
ceenerally assented to in Lombard-street.

ECCLESIASTICAL ITEMS

It is thought probable that the canonry of Worcester,
vacant by the death of Canon Fortescue, will be bestowed
apon Dr. Irons, vicar of Brompton. who has always sup-
ported Mr. Gladstone at Oxford.

Lord Shaftesbury has prepared a bill for the amendment
of the Ecclesiastical Courts, and would have already laid
t .on the table of the House of Lords were it not that
(10 business is allowed until the Queen's Speech has been
!elivered.

It is intended to form a new bishopric in Australia, to
be called the diocese of Bathurst. It will comprise the
'extern portion of the sees of Sydney and Newcastle.
The Archbishop of Canterbury has removed the inhibi-
:•ion against Father Ignatius preaching in the diocese of
I_,or.don. Father Ignatius, we hear, will not return to St.
Edmund's Church, but will select some other City church
o preach in on Fridays, and a West-end church on
S'undays.

Mr. G. J. Murray, a leading supporter of the English
Church Union, has seceded from that body because its
politics are too Radical.

The Bishop of Sydney has forbidden the erection of a
reredos in Christ Church, Sydney, which was being erected
by a son in memory of his father. The bishop's objection
to the memorial was that it contained a Greek cross.

THE TVINDSOR ELECTION PETITION.

-0-

The trial of the petition against the return of Mr.
fykyn was resumed at ten o'clock yesterday morning.
The Rev. Mr. Carter, in whose hands the sovereign
Intended for the witness Smith was placed by Mr. Eykyn,
stated that Mr. Eykyn left the sovereign with him
Instead of giving it to Smith himself, in order that it
might not lead to a petition. Mr. Eykyn shewed witness
. letter, stating that Smith was in very distressed circum-
stances, and the sovereign was intended for him purely
to consequence of that letter. Witness undertook to
rive the sovereign to Smith ; but, finding afterwards that
the story contained in the letter was untrue, he retained
possession of the money, which he still had. Mr. Eykyn
had often given him alms to distribute. Witness was a
Conservative, and supporter of Colonel Gardner.—Mr.
Justice Willes said the act proved in evidence was a
dangerous one, but it was donktful whether it came within
the definition of bribery.—John Eldridge, painter,
said Mr. Herbert gave him some work to do and pro-
mised him other work on the understanding that he would
vote right. As witness promised his vote to Colonel
Gardner he got no more work from Herbert.

THE ROYAL HUMANE SOCIETY.

A general court of this society was held at the
offices, Trafalgar-square, Mr. J. M. Case in the
chair, when some interesting facts were pre-
sented as to the rescue of persons from drown-
ing. Mr. Lambton Young, the secretary, stated
that in Hyde-park during the last year, the
persons sho were taken from the water by the
eaciety's aid numbered 66, of whom 49 were
successfully treated. Of the 65 there were ten
found drowned, and six had been in the water too
long to admit of being successfully treated, Of
the 49 recovered, 19 were attempted suicides. In
what are termed general eases," viz., of rescues in
other parts, 863 persons had been taken from the
water, of whom 337 had been recovered, and of these
81 were attempted stiicideA. Theseciety had given 19
silver medallions, seven bronze medallions, and a large
number of other rewards for saving life, The Duke of
Argyll *as then elected president, and Mr, Wm.
Rallies *as re-elected treasurer and chairman.
Other officers were eiedted, And the secretary re-
ported that the number of persons bathing in the
Merpenttne during the past year amounted to 502,995,
and that the boats, redeiving-house, and gear gene-
rally were in good condition. Silver medallions were
then presente,l to the following persons : —To Mr.
Samuel Dyer, for saving three persons; to Mr. Uriah
reacher, for saving two persons ; to Mr. Henry
Stocks, a chief officer of Coastguard, for saving one
life ; to Mr D. H. James, for saving Miss Osborne ;
to Charles Porter, policeman, for saving six per-
sons ; to Sub-Lieutenant C. E. Drake, R.N., for
saving a seaman ; to Charles Pride, and Viscount
Bury, for saving three lives at sea; and to Captain
A. Brown, for saving part of a ship's crew. Thanks
were voted to the press, the secretary, and chair.-
man, and the" proceedings closed.

THE IRISH RAILWAYS.

The Tinzes is astonished that the Irish Railway
Commissioners should have been charged to institute
acomparison between the Irish and Belgian systems of
railways. "To compare the working of railways in
Belgium and Ireland is something like comparing the
culture of the vine in England and in
France." Belgium is a prosperous and
wealthy country, with profitable manufactures,
large towns, coal and iron mines; and it is the
highway between England and Germany, France
and Northern Europe. Ireland, on the other hand,
has few large towns, no manufactures except at
Belfast, no coal or iron mines, and is contiguous to
nothing but the "melancholy ocean." The contrast
certainly is great ; but, unfortunately for the Times,
the business of the commissioners was not to institute
such a comparison. They were appointed simply to
ascertain the consequences of reducing the Irish fares
to a scale similar to that in use m Belgium. To make
this investigation it was necessary to compare the
industry and traffic of the two countries; but this com-
parison was an incident, not the object, of the inquiry.
The result of the research is the estimate that the
total receipts of the Irish railways will fall off by
2645,000, as the consequence of reductions of fares
varyina. from 78 to 32 per cent. The sum is large,
but large only on paper. The report does not bring
into the calculation one penny of the increased traffic
which will be the certain result of such a decrease in
fares. 2120,000 a year will be saved in management,
and both this sum and all receipts beyond the
present average will go to diminish the loss of
2645,000, so that in no year will such
an amount have to be paid out of the treasury. In
a few years a profit will be left. In eleven years the
receipts. say the commissioners, from increased
traffic will be sufficient to pay all working charges,
cost of increased appliances, interest on borrowed
money, and leave a balance. Surely these calcula-
tions arc not such as to close the question at once,
according to the advice of the Times. It is possible,
though not apparently advisable, to lessen the reduc-
tions, and hence diminish the loss. The railways of
Belgium—that model country—were by no means
such a profitable investment as to render the com-
parison disheartening. The Government bore a large
loss for sixteen years before the scale turned. Lastly,
if we cannot do this much for Ireland, what can
we do?

INCONVENIENCE OF EVthERECTION.

Tho insurrection in Cuba appears to have been the means
A getting two of our fellow-countrymen in that island
Into trouble. Mr. William Kynoch has addressed us from
itranzanilla, in a letter which we have received by a vessel

tor and engineer on a sugar estate in a distriot held by the
22surgents, and that he was put in prison forhavingbrought
to some Spanish officers, under a pass from the in-
turgents, and when visiting his own relations, news

,Drior. Mr. Kynoch, after being kept in prison a

man, named Macneil, was still detained in a dungeon
it Manzanilla, being falsely charged, on tho evidence
A a negro thief, with having been concerned in making
trms and ammunition for the insurgents. It is not
for the first time that the Cuban authorities have thus
tcted towards British residents, a young English artist
saving been imprisoned at Santiago some years ego on
suspicion, for which there was not the slightest foun-
lation, of having taken sketches of a fortress. It is
be hoped that the British representatives in Cuba are on
the alert to prevent such outrages being carried to excess,
ind that they do all they can to obtain remedy for the
rictims of Cuban officialism.—rorkshire Post.

THE PUBLIC HEALTH.

The mortality in the large towns still varies to a
wide extent. For instance, last week deaths in
Bristol and Birmingham were at the rate of 22 per
1,000 of the popul-•tion per annum, while at Newcastle
they were 33, Glasgow 85, and Edinburgh 40. London
stands comparatively low in the list, with .25
per 1,000, although it- population is so dense and
some portions of its area so wretched. Clearly
there must be great room for improvement in New-
castle, Glasgow, and Edinburgh if the mortality of
London can be thus I:ept down. The temperature
of last weak was most remarkably high. The mean
of the week was 9.7 degrees above the average of
fifty years, and on Friday it was no less than 13• G
above the average ; probably it was the warmest day
in Epiphany week ever known.
