GIBRALTAR AND CF.UTA.

A correspondent of the Times, in writing on the
proposed cession of Gibraltar, thinks that Admiral
Grey's condition of ten years' delay in the exchange
of Gibraltar for Ceuta would be as mischievous to
the pocket of the British taxpayer as to the dignity
of the Spanish don. The ten years' clause, in the
opinion of this writer, closes the question ; for what
guarantee could we give that ten years hence Gib-
raltar will not be absolutely necessary to us ? Where
are we to find the guarantee that the stupendous
works which Admiral Grey proposes will be com-
pleted in that time, and how could we proceed with
the great works of the same kind which we have
undertaken at home ?
" WITHIN THE CABINET."

The dull season of the recess is usually prolific of
rumours of dissensions in the Cabinet, and although
the present Government has been in office but a few
weeks there is already some speculation respecting
divided counsels in their midst. The subject is taken
up seriously by a new evening journal, which pro-
fesses to give it publicity for the purpose of
" strengthening the hands of Mr. Gladstone." On the
question of the Irish Church it states that the
Government have not as yet agreed upon their
policy, " and that to some extent they are waiting
upon Providence." The idea of a compromise
is scouted by our contemporary, and it urges upon
the Premier the advisability of dismissing those
members of his Administration who are not firm at
this important crisis. Going on to speak on the
subject of retrenchment, the same journal declares
that if Mr. Childers and Mr. Cardwell " are thwarted
in carrying out their promises," and " evince in the
business a shameful tenderness to extravagance in
high places," they deserve expulsion from their seats
of high authority. " If," we are told, " Mr. Childers
will dismiss the useless captain-superintendents of
the dockyards ; if Mr. Cardwell will obtain the
resignation of the Duke of Cambridge as Com-
mander-in-Chief, and issue a minute to the
effect that no military officer may draw half -pay or
any soldier's pay while he is receiving a salary from
the Crown, we will assert that they have given us
some tangible assurance of the fulfilment of their
promises." In regard to foreign policy, our contem-
porary asserts that " there is a Turkish party in the
Cabinet, which, influenced by the traditional foreign
policy of England, would have placed the country in
a posture even more hostile to Greece than that
which Lord Lyons was instructed to adopt in the
Conference," and which would have enforced the
decision arrived at in Paris by the threat of occupy-
ing the Greek capital. The names of those members
of the Cabinet are not given, and the story may be
looked upon as apocryphal. The article concludes
by entreating Mr. Gladstone to reconstruct his
Cabinet rather than abate his programme, and to
trust the people as the legitimate and real source of
his power and strength.

NOTES ON MELAND.

veputations have begun their work of addressing
the new Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland. From this
time he must expect no rest. Men seem to search
their heads upon every conceivable topic, from the
Irish Church to bottle-nosed whales, that they may
join in letters or deputations to the various officers
of Government. The best man to receive a deputa-
tion is one who can " bow out " his addressers.
Lord Kimberley was noted for his cleverness in this
particular. He generally managed to please the
would-be reformers, and to pledge himself to
absolutely nothing. In answer to two ad-
dresses of congratulation presented to him
on Monday, Earl Spencer seems to have said
very little. The gist of it may be summed up
in the phrases, " loyalty to Gladstone," " anxious to
please." lie thought the Irish Church ought to be
removed, hoped that a new era of confidence and
prosperity would be ushered in, promised to study
deeply the various questions which would come
before him as Lord-Lieutenant; and, as to the political
prisoners, declared that the subject of their release
involved the first duty of constitutional government
—the preservation of order and liberty; but he
would " consider the matter." What more did the
corporation expect ?

A PRESS TRIAL IN BERLIN.

A contemporary says :---An amusing press trial has
just taken place at Berlin. The accused was Dr.
Lowenstein, editor of the Kladderadatsch, who was
charged with " ridiculing the measures of the
Government and insulting the Finance Minister, by
publishing a caricature of the Minister in question. The
caricature represented the Minister, in a tattered dress,
standing hat in hand before the entrance to the Chamber,
and begging for subscriptions to cover the deficit. Dr.
Lowenstein defended his own case in a witty speech.
He said that the only thing referred to in the
caricature was the deficit, and he could not under-
stand how a deficit could be a "Government measure."
The Crown prosecutor had accused him of representing
the Finance Minister as a "squinting beggar." Now he
(Dr. Lowenstein) must deny that the Minister squinted ;
if he did so in the picture, that was the fault of the artist.
Again : it was objected that the Minister appeared in a
tattered dress ; but this was surely no offence, for
there was no law to forbid a Minister to have a
hole in his coat. As to those who interpreted the carica-
ture as representing Prussia in a state of bankruptcy, he
would only say that no one but an idiot could describe a
strong, great, and wealthy Po4ver like Prussia as insolvent.
This speech appears to have produced instant conviction
on the minds of the judges, for they acquitted Dr. Lowen-
stein unanimously and without discussion.

ELECTION EXPENSES.

Though it is to be hoped that the day is passed
when the longest pocket wins a parliamentary elec-
tion, yet the purse is still a mighty agent. Mr.
Cw.lue, a defeated candidate for the Tower Hamlets,
seems to have had faith in it, for he, as he himself
sets forth in his return of expenses, paid £B,OOO
for being defeated. We nmy be quite sure he
did not spend less. Common rumour says
he spent about £12,000 more—a neat little sum,
t,..)0, was expended on the electors of Hackney. The
two winning men—Reed and Holms—spent respec-
tively £1,400 and £2,Boo—the latter just double the
former. Some of the items of Mr. Holms's account
are rather vague, as, for instance, a matter of £BOO
given as " preliminary expenses." What pre-
liminary expenses would amount to 800 ?
Did any " interest" stand in the way that had
to be compensated ? £1,400 looks rather a large
amount for messengers. Mr. Homer's " little bill,"
amounting to £2,500, contains a matter of £B9 as
having been paid on account of boards and " trans-
parencies," the chief merit of the latter being that
they cannot be seen through by amateurs in elec-
tioneering matters. Mr. Butler has to put his hand
into his pocket for something like £3,200, while Col.
Dickson found £2BO enough to work upon. Mr.
Webb returns himself as having spent £412. We
hope that some of the candidates will retire into
private life, convinced that it is not money that
makes the " M.P."
DROGHEDA ELECTION.

We hail with joy the decision just given by Judge
Keogh in the case of the Drogheda election, and that
all the more readily as it is given in the teeth of two
decisions of the House of Commons. Only a few
sessions back, the Committee of that House—with,
of course, unerring instinct—declared that rioting,
though accompanied with loss of life, did not invali-
date an election. Drogheda and Waterford differ
only in detail. There were the same inflammatory
addresses by the priests, the same "red-hot Irish"
broadsides, the same rioting, and the 'Dane intimida-
tion of respectable voters. Only in one case the
judge and jury were afraid to lay down a damaging
precedent ; m the other the judge had no personal
interests to serve. Mr. Whitworth is therefore
unseated. Thus the second Liberal has been thrown
from his horse in Ireland, against one Conservative
in England.

SAVING LIFE AT SEA.

Vice-Admiral Elliott has published aletter respect-
ing the saving of life at sea, and he expresses a hope
that some of the members who represent seafaring
populations will call the attention of the new Parlia-
ment to it. The general opinion is that the ship-
owner should be made responsible for any
neglect of available means which can be provided
for limiting the risk of life employed in his
service. It has been said that an action at common
law would hold good in such a case, though it has
never been tried. Admiral Elliott thinks that it
exceeds the province of legislation to point out what
particular appliances shall be provided, but so
many improvements have been effected by
science that there is no excuse for neglect.
As matters now stand, the inspection of merchant
vessels before putting to sea is insufficient, and the
responsibility for loss of life through want of proper
equipment can nowhere be attached. A parlia-
mentary inquiry on the subject is much needed.

J4AMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant.,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects aro truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,
King William-street, Charing-cross, London, and by all
druggists, in bottles, 13F1., and three quantities in one,

MISCELLANEOUS IVEIVS.

The " tenant-right " party in Ireland are cm.:
plaining bitterly of a new instance of the injustice
of the present land laws. At the Belfast Sessions the
Presbyterian minister of Lisburn was summoned by
the Marquis of Hertford, as trustee of certain houses
bnat by:a Captain Bolton some time back, on ground
belonging to the marquis, for which the captain had
not acquired a lease. Believing that "tenant right"
would be respected, when Captain Bolton died he
left the rent of these houses to a school in the neigh-
bourhood. The marquis now wants the land, and in
the absence of any law to the contrary is able to take
it, and the houses with it. He thus adds about £:2O
ner annum to an income already above £60,000.
The Freeman's Journal declares that what is wanted
is long leases. " Long" here means, according to a
landlord who writes to the Times, sixty years, shorter
leases being despised. Said landlord argues that
gold is steadily but surely decreasing in value—land
isincreasing in worth. Why are Irish land-
lords, then, to be asked to alienate their properties
for thirty years at the same rents—that is to say, to
the value of their land when the value of every-
thing else is riling as gold falls

ADMIRAL ROLM AND TIM TURF.

It is Admiral Bous, and not John Day, who has

ings pending between us have been stopped by you,
I now withdraw
my letter published in the 7'imes

the

factorily enough—the famous scandal of "The Earl

ANOTHER RITUALIST :qT.EIING.

If the Church News is to be believed, there is to be
ancy:rher Ritualist demonstration. It is to be a meet-
ing of clerics and laymen at St. James' Hall, in
order to protest ,•c:ain.st the "unconstitutional and
unfair, as well as 'ai;:ki-Catholic judgment, recently
delivered in the case of Martin v. Mackonochie.
The object of the meeting :vill be "to convince the
public that Churchmen will in.
t easily tolerate any
interference with the rights of
conscience and the
doctrine, discipline, and ritual of
the Church by
other than Church courts." It seems to he forgotten
that " Churchmen "—High Churchmen, too—were
quite content to accept the decision of Sir Robert
Phillimore, who is a layman, whatever .his court may
be. We are inclined to think that a Church court, com-
posed of men like the Archbishop of York and the
Bishops of Durham, Manchester, Carlisle, and Ripon,
would be even more unsatisfactory to Eiigh Churchm en

Grey's condition of ten years' delay in the exchange
of Gibraltar for Ceuta would be as mischievous to
the pocket of the British taxpayer as to the dignity

undertaken at home ?
" WITHIN TIIE CABINET."

The dull season of the recess is usually prolific of
rumours of dissensions in the Cabinet, and although
the present Government has been in office but a few
weeks there is already some speculation respecting
divided counsels in their midst. The subject is taken
up seriously by a new evening journal, which pro-
fesses to give it publicity for the purpose of
" strengthening the hands of Mr. Gladstone." On the
question of the Irish Church it states that the
Government have not as yet agreed upon their
policy, " and that to some extent they are waiting
upon Providence." The idea of a compromise
is scouted by our contemporary, and it urges upon
the Premier the advisability of dismissing those
members of his Administration who are not firm at
this important crisis. Going on to speak on the
subject of retrenchment, the same journal declares
that if Mr. Childers and Mr. Cardwell " are thwarted
in carrying out their promises," and " evince in the
busina ss a shameful tenderness to extravagance in
high places," they deserve expulsion from their seats
of high authority. " If," we are told, " Mr. Childers
will dismiss the useless captain-superintendcnts of
the dockyards ; if Mr. Cardwell will obtain the
resignation cf the Duke of Cambridge as Com-
mander-in-Chief, and issuo a minute to the
effect that no military officer may draw half Tay or
any soldier's pay while he is receiving a salary from
the Crown, we will assert that they have given us
some tangible assurance of the fulfilment of their
promises." In regard to foreign policy, our contem-
porary asserts that " there is a Turkish party in the
Cabinet, which, influenced by the traditional foreign
policy of England, would have placed the country in
a posture even more hostile to Greece than that
which Lord Lyons was instructed to adopt in the
Conference," and which would have enforced the
decision arrived at in Paris by the threat of occupy-
ing the Greek capital. The names of those members
of the Cabinet are not given, and the story may be
looked upon as apocryphal. The article concludes
by entreating Mr: Gladstone to reconstruct his
Cabinet rather than abate his programme, and to
trust the people as the legitimate and real source of
his power and strength.

RUSSIA.

The Russians have christened 1868 as " the year of
railways." During the last twelve months no less than
nine separate lines, some of them very lengthy, have been
opened, and eleven others commenced, a few being now
considerably advanced. The vast Muscovite dominions
will speedi y have a great and continuous railway system.
Greater ~r more praiseworthy efforts were never made by
any Government or nation, especially as they are made
at our expense, English capitalists having provided Russia
with the money which will enable her to carry on a war
against the Western Powers, with very much greater
prospect of success than on the last occasion.

ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY.—At the meet-

first, on the "Effects on Climate of Forest Destruction in

a "Description of the Island of Raps," by Captain Vine
Hall.

LECTURES TO LADIES BY PROFESSORS OF UNIVER-
VERSITY COLLEGE.—The arrangements for these
lectures, to be given under the auspices of a mixed asso-
ciation of ladies and gentlemen, are now nearly completed.
and will be definitely announced in the course of a few
days. For the first session, commencing in February, the
lectures will be by Professor Henry Morley, on English
Literature, and by Professor C. Carey Foster, on Experi-
mental Physics.

SUICIDE OF A SALESMAN.—Yesterday Mr. Thos.
Butler, a meat-salesman in the New Market, committed
suicide, at his residence, by cutting his throat. He is re-
ported to be in affluent circumstances. Mr. Butler was an
elderly man, and no reason can at present be assigned
for his committing this rash act.

THE MAKING OF GOLD CHAINS.—At a quarterly
meeting of the Birmingham Assay Masters, it has been re-
solved "that the guardians see no reason for departing
from the present practice of the Birmingham Assay-office
in the assaying and marking of gold chains—namely, to
assay only such gold chains as are of such fashion and
make as to allow of their being satisfactorily assayed and
marked on every link ; the bars, the swivels, and the
links are assayed separately, and the standard mark is
struck upon every liuk as well as upon the bar and swivel."
This decision will be a great security, so far as the public
is concerned.

ANOTHER WORK BY MR. GLADSTONE.—" We
understand," says the Record, " that Mr. Gladstone is pre
paring for publication a new work which is likely to rival
in interest his famous book on The Church in its Rela-

longer the Church, but the world, and the title is to be

This Hospital, founded iu the year 1828, the first to
establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor,
without the delay and difficulty of Govarnors' orders, is
wholly dependent for support on voluntary contributions
and legacies.

It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in
addition to this, the average number of attendance of the
destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be-
tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly.
The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the
benevolent, as the promises of this hospital are capable of
containing several hundred more beds had the Committee
the requisite funds to mailitai? them.

Contributions are received by their bankers, Messrs.
Brown, Hansom, and Co., Abcburch-lane ; also by Messrs.
Coutts and Co.; Drummond and Co. ; Glyo and Co.;

THE UNITERSITY BOATRACE.

It was stated a few clays ago in Land and Water
that the Cantabs were backing out of the race for
this year. The announcement has caused no little
astonishment at Cambridge, where the news was
new indeed. It is, however, we believe, quite true
that one of the Cambridge crew fell down
stairs some little time ago, and so seriously
hurt his back that his doctors positively
prohibited him from training. Thus a second
time is Cambridge unlucky, for last year one of the
crew died. Easter falls very early this year, so that
it will be difficult to supply a substitute for the
injured man. With reference to the race, it is
asserted that Cambridge will never win until the
crew are able to get over the difficulty which their
shallow river presents. The Isis allows the Oxonians
to use all their strength on the boat, but the Cantabs
use no inconsiderable portion of theirs on the oars.

SAVING LIFE AT SEA.
Vice-Admiral Elliott has published aletter respect-
ing the saving of life at sea, and he expresses a hope
that some of the members who represent seafaring
populations will call the attention of the new Parlia-
ment to it. The general opinion is that the ship-
owner should be made responsible for any
neglect of available means which can be provided
for limiting the risk of life employed in his
service. It has been said that an action at common
law would hold good in such a case, though it has
never been tried. Admiral Elliott thinks that it
exceeds the province of legislation to point out what
particular appliances shall be provided, but so
many improvements have been effected by
science that there is no excuse for neglect.
As matters now stand, the inspection of merchant
vessels before putting to sea is insufficient, and the
responsibility for loss of life through want of proper
equipment can nowhere be attached. A parlia-
mentary inquiry on the subject is much needed.

MORTALITY AND THE WEATHER.

A green winter is a bad time for doctors and
undertakers, coalowners and railways. The deaths
in London last week were no fewer than 340 below
the estimate; the thermometer was more than four
degrees above the average. The temperature being
so high, the consumption of coals is far less than
usual, and consequently the coal traffic on the various
lines has fallen off remarkably. Yesterday saw a
frost in London early in the morning—the second
frost of the year, and about the fourth of the winter,
but by sunrise the alight patches of ice in the roads
were thawing,

PLURALISM.

- - -
The new Bishop of London's first appointment is
causing some dissatisfaction. H. o has appointed
Canon Cook one pf his chaplains, although Mr.
Cook is already Canonof Exeter and Preacher at
Lincoln's Inn. The grumble is scarcely jus-
tified. A bishop generally
g!;tlects as his chaplain
an able man who has distinguishes himself in some
capacity ; and the pay of a chaplain :..t= not so large
that the man selected would be inclined to give up
other preferment for it. Canon Cook -is Zni-
doubtedly an able man ; would probably have been
Bishop of Cornwall if any of the recent Govern-
ments had had the courage to found a new
bishopric. But he has signally failed in one matter :
the new (" Speaker's ") Commentary on the Bible,
which was projected some seven years ago, is not yet
even in the press.

LONDON ALDERMEN IN COUNCIL.

The Court of Aldermen, London, has just been
discussing the propriety of allowing a Roman Catholic
priest to hold divur service on Sundays for Roman
Catholic prisoners in iN ewgate. Some of the Christian
aldermen vigorously resisted the proposal. A certain
Alderman Wilson predicted that if the application
were granted they would soon be called upon to fur-
nish " a pool for the Baptist, aharem for the Mormon,
and a dancing girl for the Shaker "—a sapient remark,
implying, in the first place, that Mormon and Shaker
are as numerous as Roman Catholic prisoners ; and
next, that harems and dancing girls are essential
parts of Mormon and Shaker religion. It was re-
served for Alderman Salomons, a Jew, to demand
liberty of conscience for the prisoners whom some of
their fellow Christians refused to tolerate. Fortu-
nately, there were an equal number who accepted his
arguments, and the resolution was carried by a
majority of one; but notice to rescind it has already
been given.
