TUE I.OIIDS AND THE DILL,

The morning papers take little notice of the Jain
Bull's statement that Lord Derby intends to move
the rejection of the Irish Church Bill. Most of them
do not even publish the paragraph. The Morning
Advertiser prefers to wait a few days before com-
menting upon it. The twin Staadard and Herald
are dumb, neither confirming nor contradicting the
announcement.

The John Bull's statement seems to be discredited
by the fact that the standing committee of the Irish
Church Conference have declined to recommend the
Lords to reject the bill. There was a conference at
the close of the week between the committee
and Lord Cairns. The result of this meeting
remains to be ascertained. But it is scarcely
likely that, in the meanwhile, Lord Derby
would decide to take the momentous step from which
even Irisk Churchmen shrink.

THE MILITIA.

"A. Field Officer of Militia "writes to the Post or
the organisation of the militia, which would, he
thinks, under certain improved conditions, supply
us with an efficient reserved force at a
moment's notice. lie thinks that the first
thing to be done is to secure efficient field
officers and captains, and he suggests that every
colonel, major, and captain should be called upon tc
perform varied and unexpected duties, in order tc
test their fitness to command a battalion. A militia-
man should be thoroughly drilled for three months ae
soon as he enlists, and by this meansmuch of the con•
fusion now arising on the assembling of a regiment
may be obviated. To enable the adjutant tosee after and
drill the number of recruits _ which would be con-
stantly coming and going, the " Field Officer'
proposes that he should devote much of his
time to the drilling- of his staff sergeants. These
are now idle for about eleven months in the
year, and cpsequentiv fall into bad habits. kite]
the -recruit bne passed his second month, the writes
thinks that his clothes should be made to fit
and properly numbered, so that the absurd effect
policed by the reckless distribution of clothing
among men of various heights and sizes would be
avoided. Several other improvements on the present
system are suggested, with the vitw of enabling the
regiments to muster at the shortest possible notice.

E CIICETaITDITOYEC
• SPREAD OP arn REBELLION IN NEW ZEALAITD.
The recent successes Of the colonists in New Zealand
have failed to extinguish the .Maori rebellion. - After the
capture of the pah at Ngatapa, it was expected that the
war would come to an end; but the reverse has been the
case. It has taken a new lease of activity. The strong
pah at Ngatapa is situated on the east coastond was held
by a leader named Te Kooti. The last mail, it will
be remembered, brought intelligence that this stronghold
had been captured, the native force dispersed, and Te
Kooti, it was believed, mortally wounded. It turns out,
however, not only that Te Yooti was not killed, tut that
he has apparently not lost prestige by his defeat. He has
reappeared with two or three hundred followers, and,
according to Lb..., latest adviccs, ivas awaiting support in
crar. t;inake a dement upon the settlers in the Napier
district.

From the west coast the news is much worse. On the
18th of February a foraging party, consisting of Sergeant
Menzies and nine constabulary, fell into an ambuscade,
out of - which only two: ceeaped unhurt and one
wounded. Colonel M`Donikelts . company
diately turned out to the help of their - com-
rades, but could merely get long shots at the rebels.
At a place thirty-five miles north of New Plymouth a
massacre has been perpetrated by one of the native tribes,
and eight settlers, including the rim John Whiteley, a
missionary whose life seemed safe everywhere during pre-
vious outbreaks, have been slain. The New Zealand
papers strongly condemn the conduct of the Government
in not heeding the warnings which were given them of
the projects of the natives and the defenceless state of thb
White Cliff district. The Times correspondent, however,
condemns this censure s s indiscriminate. Warnings, he
eays, occur every day, and serious evil has often resulted
from the attention paid to false alarms. Later intelligence
down to the 14th of March is more encouraging.
Tito Kowaru, the leader on the west coast,
bad been defeated by Colonel Whitmore. The
Wanganui Chronicle affirms that Tito Kowaru's men are
deserting him in considerable numbers.

iname-

The colonists now assert that they cannot defend them-
selves without the aid of Imperial troops, and an endeavour
will be made to get assistance of this kind. The English
Government is willing to supply soldiers provided that a
moderate payment is made for their support ; but this
the Colonial Government, though glad to have the troops
at the cost of the British taxpayer, has hitherto refused.
The Colonial Office demands compensation at the rate of
£lO a soldier ; the New Zealand constabulary cost from
£l2O to £l4O each.

BISHOP TENNER.

The Bishop of Dunedin is described by the Wel-
lington correspondent of the_ Times as thoroughly
wearied and disguSted with hiS position. In a recent
letter Dr. Jenner 'writes :—" The truth is, I am
nearly wearied out with this business. The isolation,
the humiliation of my_ position, which culminated
last Sunday in my having to sit under a lay reader,
have well-nigh broken me down. I feel inclined to
let matters take their chance, give myself no further
trouble, and ask tny friends to leaveme to my fate." His
explanations have. made him some friends, but many
of his. old antagonists maintain their; opposition on
the ground that he is not sufficiently candid on the
question of Ritualism. A. new diocesan synod was
summoned forlast month, and it would then be decided
if the bishop should be rejected or accepted.

While the policy of forgiveness with which the
present Government inaugurated its reign in Ireland
failed most thoroughly, the little severity it has
exercised seems to have had a most beneficial effect.
The downfall of the Mayor of Cork has been
acquiesced in by the masses of that city and an
attempt to get up a demonstration against it com-
pletely failed. While no notice was taken of
him by the higher authorities he was the
popular idol. Condemned, and without office,
he has fallen from his place in' the hearts of
the citizens, and one of the popular journals declares
" he has made an enormous ass of himself."

"TO THE HON. WILLIAM SPRAGVE.

"Dear Sir,—On the 22d inst., in the Uhited States Se-
nate, you uttered the following language :
" 'Mr. President,—ln answer to the tirade of the Sena-
tor from Nevada and the Senator from North Carolina,
lam reminded of a little illustration. In my travels from
the cen•re here into the rural districts, through the woods
and farms of the surrounding neighbourhood, chance at
°to time brought me to a farm-house. I found, on look-
ing up, a larse mastiff and a mongrel- puppy; dog. The
little dog moved on me with rapidity from; behind, bit at
nay heels, and, frightened at his temerity, ran howling
away, followed by his larger companion. The Senate
will observe that the mongrel, whining puppy, encouraged
by the mastiff, and emboldened to attackfram the shadow
of his backer, ran rapidly away, alarmed at his temerity,
while the overgrown cur followed, with both,ears lopped
and his tail botween his legs, to a place of Way beside
•
his menaced companion.
" This language has been understood as meant, in part,
to be applied to me. lam not aware that I giwe any oc-
casion in my remarks for you to wish to be offensive or
insulting in reply. I therefore deem it properto ask that
you state distinctly whether you intended to apply any of
the,ahove offensive language to myself.—l am, Sir, very
respectfully, "JOSEPH C. ABBOTT."
Qn this the mediators held a consultation, and the
following reply was to be placed in Mr. Abbott's
hand, on the understanding that the language used
by him in the Senate should be withdrawn:—

TIIE INSURRECTION' IN CUBA.

The Times correspondent‘ telegraphs the doom of the
Cuban insurgents. The American Admiral Koff and the
agents of the Washington Government in Cuba report
that the insurrection is weak and declining. The Ameriefn
revenue officers have been ordered by the Government
strictly to enforce the neutrality laws, an 1 to prevent the
sailing of expeditions to aid the insurgents.

THE GOVERNMENT DIFFICULTY IN SPAIN.

The party which supports the project of reconstituting
the Government, with Serrano as Regent and Prim as the
head of the Ministry, is supported by the entire strength
of the Progressists and Democrats, numbering in all 150
votes. The Liberal Unionists have not as yet joined this
combination ; but it is wry prol-able, according to the
correspondent of the Constituticnnel, that they may do so
at the last moment, rather than oneanger the Monarchical
party, which consists of the Democrats, Progressists, and
Unionists. If the latter separated from their allies, the result
might probably be an immediate victory for the Republi-
cans. The situation is this : Serrano is the leader of the
Unionists, and by making him Regent this party would
undoubtedly attain the post of honour. Put it is well
understood that Prim, the leader of the Progressists,
would be the virtual head of the Government, and that
the real balance of power would rest with his supporters.

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.-

In reply to Dr. BREWER,
Mr. GOSCUEN said he had received official informa-

effect that some patients had been discharged from the in-
firmary before they were cured.

GLASGOW.

The meeting which was held at Glasgow at the begin'
ning of the week was intended as a preparation for g 4
larger assembly, but some steps were taken. A resolution
calling upon the Commons "to undo with firmness the
evil work of the Peers," was passed ; and a second resolu•.
lution, urging all Reformers "to include in their Pro:
gramme of necessary measures an early reconstruction of
the Upper House of Parliament, so as to secure a second
Chamber working in harmony with the nation."

DUNDEE.
At Dundee a very crowded meeting was held, Provost
Yeaman in the chair, at which resolutions were passed,
condemning the principle of concurrent endowment, and
affirming that the Government ought to refuse the amend'
meat by which glebes and glebe lands are conferred on the
Presbyterian Church. The meeting also protested
against the indefinite postponement of the appropriation
of the surplus.

THE TRUCK SYSTEM.

It is high time that the Truck Act should be
enforced. Passed thirty-two years ago, it has now
become almost a dead letter in many districts. The
masters evade or openly defy the law, and thus a
most iniquitous system is carried on in defiance of
the statute. A case has just been tried at Wednes-
bury, in the Midlands, which will, we trust, be a
warning to offenders. A carter engaged in
getting coal for John Horton, a charter master, of
Wednesbury, was compelled to take a ticket for the
" tommy shop " in lieu of a portion of his wages,
thereby losing, as he stated, 10s. An attempt was
made to shew that there was no agency. and that
Horton was not responsible for what had
happened. But the stipendiary magistrate took a dif-
ferent view of the matter. having reviewed the evi-
dence, and spoken in a very feelinginanner of the com-
plainant's wife being obliged to have her money spent
whether she liked it or Rot—he said that if there ever
had been an attempt to evade the Act of Parliament
there had been one in this case. It was perfectly
clear that if the master bad actcd under the pressure
of circumstances, and desired to deal in a bond fide
manner with his servant, he would have given him
all his wages. He could not do other than convict
defendant in the full penalty of £lo,andcosts (making
£l.l 55.), as he considered the case a very bad one
indeed. Of this sum, £5 would go to the informer,
and £3 to the solicitor by whom he was represented.

BRADFORD.

A large open-air meeting was held at Bradford on Tues.
day evening, at which some 15,000 persons were present.
The Mayor was unavoidably prevented from presiding,
and, in his absence, Alderman Scott took the chair.
Resolutions were passed, protesting against all attempts
to re-endow the disestablished Church or to attain religious
equality by means of re-endowment in any form, and de.
precating the changes made in the Ministerial measure b•
the House of Lords.
London, England, 1869-07-15

FREE TRADE IN AUSTRALIA.

An attempt to set up a Customs' Union amongst the
Australian colonies is now being made in New South
Wales. This movement, indeed, is of very old standing,
fer it dates from 1863, in which year delegates from the
various colonies mtt to consider the subject. This con-
ference recommended a uniform tariff, but it was never
adopted, avid a similar endeavour in 1867 was not more
fruitful. This year yet another conference of representa-
tives from all the Australian colonies has been held. The
result has been that resolutions have been passed recom-
mending a commercial federation. The delegates decide
in favour of a uniform Customs' tariff, free interchange of
colonial products, and division of the customs' revenue in
proportion to population. The immediate result of this
system, if adopted, will be a great reduction of tariffs,
and, in fact, the downfall of the Protective policy of Vic-.
toria. It remains to be seen whether this great step in the
direction of Free Trade will prevail. A strong party in
each of the States supporta it.
