THE SUEZ CANAL.

"A_ Scandarene " contradicts the statement 01
the Suez Canal Company that the Lattif
vessel which attempted to go up the canal from Pori
Said to Ismailia, never grounded once during tilt
voyage. He asserts that the Lattif grounded not
once but four times, the last and most serious mishal
occurring about six and a half miles from Kantara(
that she touched the ground slightly ten or elever
times ; and that at the last shock she broke thoi
propeller of her screw. She is otherwise damaged;
and has since been in the dry floating dock, under.
going repairs. The public must wait to see whiff
of these two statements is the correct one.

MOCK AUCTIONS.

The Court for Crown Cases Reserved has given s
decision which will materially affect the prosperity
of that deserving class of the community which gains
a living by mock auctions. A woman was enticed
into a mock auction-room, and the usual ceremony
was gone through. The auctioneer and his confederates
pretended that she had made a bidding of 268. for a
piece of dab. She denied that she had bid for it,
but the men refused to let her go until she had paid..
Under fear she paid the money and took the cloth,
rwgiving information'. The auctioneer was
convicted of stealing the sum of 265. ; and it is this
unexpected decision which the superior court has
confirmed. Such an extortion was held to be
robbery.

THE CONGE D'ELIRE.

" A Layman," in a sensible and forcible letter to
the Times, advocates the abolition of the conge
(Mire. The election is a mere form ; some say
a very farce. There is no reality in it whatso-
ever. It is, moreover, a " superstitious usage,"
and not a harmless one. Those who take
part in it must (as "A Layman" observes) act,
when they do not agree with an appointment, either
as dummies or hypocrites: unless, indeed, they are
unwise enough to raise a contest with the Crown ;
and in that case they must go down before supe-
rior authority and power. The -very exist-
ence, too, of a chance of opposition to the
Crown is so irresistible that of itself it is productive
of religious cabals, bitter party contests, and unseemly
agitation. It wero better tar to dispense with a
formality at once aggravating and useless, and to
throw upon the episcopal body, to whom the power
of consecration is reserved, the responsibility of oppos-
ing, in extisine cases, the choice of the Ministers of
the day. The questionable practice of praying that
the Almighty will aid in a choice already made, has
been repeatedly discussed.

SOUTHWARK.

The Liberals of Southwark experience much diffi-
culty in deciding upon a candidate. At a meeting
held on Monday evening supporters of Sir Sydney
Waterlow, Sir Francis Lycett, Mr. Labouchere, Mr.
Odger, and Mr. Bradlaugh mustered strongly. Each
had speakers in his favour, and some were supported
by distinct propositions. Mr. Bradlaugh did not
meet with much support; but Sir Sydney Waterlow
did, although the motion in his favour was declared
to be lost. It was decided not to chose a man at
present, but to wait in order to hear the sentiments
of all the candidates.

PROCEEDINGS AGAMST BROKERS.

Before the Court of Aldermen, a case of great impor-
tance to the mercantile community, and especially
to brokers, came on for hearing on Tuesday by adjournment.
It was 4, petition presented by Messrs. Edward Walker
Co; Charles Hudson Cox, and John Litticwocd Pick, car-
rying on business at Liverpool as brokers, complaining
of a certain proceeding by Messrs. Vaughan, Smith, and
Co., brokers, London. It appeared that Messrs. Cox in-
structed Moms. Vaughan, Smith, and Co., to purchase for
them a certain quantity cf tallow at a certain price,
giving them a margin of 3d. per cwt. The tallow was
supplied at the excess sum, and Messrs. Cox duly
advised thereof. Circumstances came to their knowledge
which led them to think that it had not been bought as
stated, but that that Which was supplied had been bought
prior to the order, and at a much lower figure There-
upon Messrs. Cox, through their solicitor, called on Messrs.
Vaughan, Smith, and Co. to disclose the names of their prin-
cipals. Messrs. Vaughan and Co. declined to comply. They
offered, however, to submit their books for inspection to the
Court of Aldermen, as they are bound to do, and the petitioner
craved that the court would cause an investigation to be
made into these charges against Messrs. Vaughan, Smith,
and Co. The petition was dismistied.

PERSIA,

Cholera has again made its appearance in Teheran and
the adjoining villages, the deaths amounting at ono
period to twenty-seven daily. Another source of trouble to
the Persians is the nearly total failure of the silk crop,
their great staple, owing to a disease among the silk-
worms. Last year there was a deficiency, but this year it
be much greater. Not more than i,r,00 ballots will
be available for exportation, in place of the average 20,000.

OPENING OF THE SUEZ CANAL.

PORT SAID, Nov. 16, Evening•

The fetes in inauguration of the Suez Canal hale
commenced by religious ceremonies in the open air,
which were performed both by the Ulemas and the
Catholic priests. The latter was concluded by 3
speech and a benediction from Monsignore Bauer'
the almoner of the Empress Eugenie. MonsigOre
Bauer applauded the consummation of the work,
and thanked the Khedive, who had '°
mortalised his reign by co-operation in °Pe
of the greatest undertakings that any century
had produced. The speaker then dwelt upon the
complete liberty which the Kedive had granted to
Christianity, and thanked the Empress Eugenie for
the deep sympathy she had displayed with the
work ; and he also thanked M. de Lesieps for the
great exertions he had made to effect its comPlei
tion, and the Princes and the Representatives
Foreign Powers for their presence.
Great enthusiasm prevailed.
The Viceroy and his Ministers, the Empress
Eugenie, the Austrian Emperor, the Princes
Prussia, Holland, and Hesse, the diplomatic rePre"
sentatives of all nations, as well as an immense cow
course of distinguished visitors, were present.

THE CARDIFF ABDUCTION CASE,

This case has entered another phase. The Jewish com-
munity wish to obtain a final decision on the point raised.
It will be recollected that Vice-Chancellor James
declined to appoint a guardian, and left the father
of Miss Esther Lyons to apply for a writ
of Habeas Corpus. The attorney engaged for the
relations has since entered an appeal against the judgment
of the learned Vice-Chancellor, and the matter will be
determined in the Court of Appeal. It is also said that
an application will be made for a writ of habeas corpus.
Miss Lyons in the meantime remains with Mrs. Keep, to
be produced in the event of a habeas being granted.

TIPPEIIARY.

The electors of Tipperary ought to know all about
Mr. O'Donovan Rossa, and must therefore be
left to use their own judgment respecting the sugges-
tion that they should return that person to Parlia-
ment. But the public may as well be informed that
O'Donovan Rossa is neither a Wilkes nor an
O'Connell. He is in gaol as a Fenian. Previously
to getting into gaol he was a solicitor's clerk,
utterly destitute of education, and his career
has not been fruitful in evidences either of good
sense or temper. The voters of Tipperary have already,
in the person of Mr. D. C. Heron, a candidate
who has promised pretty nearly all that the
most extreme could wish, including fixity of
tenure and the release of the Fenian prisoners.
Mr. Heron, however, does not pledge himself to open
treason, and that, no doubt, the tenant of Millbank
will be glad to do. The nomination takes place next
Monday. Besides Mr. Heron, Mr. Peter Gill is a
candidate, and, according to the Nenagh Guardian,
will go to the poll. He is a strong Fenian sym-
pathiser,

THE CONFIRMATION OF DR. TEMPLE.

Archdeacon Denison—who writes about a letter
per diem to some paver or another—is now
agitating for an opposition to the confirma-
tion of Dr. Temple in Bow Church. Ile
advocates that memorials be sent begging the
Archbishop of Canterbury and the other bishops not
to consecrate ; but that, as he probably feels, would
have little effect. He therefore proposes that incum-
bents should come from the Exeter diocese and pro-
test on the day of confirmation.
London, England, 1869-11-17

TICE CLYDE FIRED UPON.

The Bombay papers state that the gunboat Clyde,
belonging to the Bombay marine, has been fired
on at Muscat. The intelligence was sent to
the Government by telegraph, and Captain Douglas
of the Daphne proceeded to Poonah to confer with Sir
Seymour Fitzgerald on the subject. This event iihews the
necessity that exists for providing the Viceroy with a
special service in the Persian Gulf. It was expected that
the Daphne would shortly put to sea and be placed at the
disposal of the Viceroy for this special business.

CIIINESR LADOCRERS.

The question of Chinese labour is exciting a good deal of
interest in the United State::. Mr. Low, the Minister to
China., called on President Grant, together with General
Sherman and the new Secretary of War, General Pelknof,
to talk over the subject. The President admitted that it
was of great importance, and agreed with Mr. Low's views.
The latter takes a liberal view of the Chinese question, and
will. it is thought,prove a useful Minister to theßepublic. Tho
controlling influence in China is British, and the Americans
complain that their importance is underrated. At San
Francisco the labour question is creating much excitement.
The planters favour the importations of Chinese, while
the commercial and labouring classes urge the encourage-
ment of European immigration. Koopmanchaap
has returned to the city, and will forward 100 Chinamen to
work on the Memphis Railroad, Tennessee. lie says that
there aro 3,000 Chinamen in California out of employment,
and that great numbers are returning to China for the
approaching national holiday.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—Mary Ann Williams, about 2
years of age, was charged before Mr. Knox with being
drunk and annoying gentlemen, and was further charged
with making several attempts to destroy herself.
Daniel Palmer, 54 C, said that about nine o'clock the
previous night he saw the prisoner, who had been drink-
ing, accost two or three gentlemen in Leicester-square
and take hold of them, and she then came up and took
hold of him (witness), and he then took her to the station
with the assistance of three other constables. The pri-
soner had been several times locked up, and nine times
out of ten she was carried to the station on the stretcher.

Mr. Kflox remanded the prisoner for a week, and-
ordered her to be at once taken to the House of Deten-
tion in a cab.

BLA.CKBURIV ELECTION.

Messrs. Potter and Morley have issued the following
address to the electors •of the borough of Blackburn:—
" Gentlemen,—The result of the polling has not taken
either the committee or ourselves by surprise. We felt
from the outset that the struggle would be unequal, for
the result of the canvass proved that similar influences to
those which, as expressly shewn by Mr. Justice Willes,
turned the contest in November last, are still in active
operation, and that on this occasion these influences have
been doubly powerful (though perhaps not so punishable
legally) through the disastrous state of the trade of the
borough and the constant precariousness of employment.
But though, under these circumstances, we were from
the first almost hopeless of success, both of us coincided
in thinking it our clear duty to make as good a fight
as we could for two reasons : first, in order to
chew to the Liberals of the district that the leaders of
the party are still, and will always be, ready to per-
severe, at whatever sacrifice of their own ease, in a whole-
some opposition to that Tory system which rides
rough-shod over the borough ; secondly, in order to
strengthen the hands of the advocates of the Ballot
throughout the country, as the course of the canvass has
placed in our possession a large number of cases, fully
authenticated, of electors who voted for the Liberal candi-
dates last autumn, and who distinctly state that they
were deterred from voting in the same way on the present
occasion by well-founded fear of being discharged by
the Conservative employers. These cases we shall be pre-
pared to produce at the proper time. Meanwhile, we
are persuaded that, without the Ballot, the franchise in
this borough, as the expression of the true opinion of
its inhabitants, is not much more than a farce. We
beg to offer our sincere thanks to our committee and
to the whole body of Liberals in the town for their
undeviating friendship and support, and we trust that
the efforts and encouragement of public opinion may
induce the working men to make every effort to throw
off that fear of intimidation which is fatal to indepen•
dence."

TERRIBLE VOYAGE OF AN EMIGRANT SHIP.

A day or two ago we published some details of a disas-
trous voyage made by an emigrant ship from Liverpool to
New York. The vessel took three months to cross the
Atlantic. One hundred and forty-six passengers, all poor,
were carried, the steerage being much overcrowded, and,
worse still, the crew thoroughly inefficient. Very stormy
weather set in, and fever and diarrhma attacked the pas-
sengers. But even the horrible sufferings caused by disease,
tempests, and an incapable crew were not all that these
emigrants had to undergo. Many of them have given
evidence on oath of the cruelties inflicted upon them.
One witness, an English mechanic, declared that
during one week of his voyage he had but two
quarts of meal for his entire food, that the car-
penter and boatswain repeatedly beat the passengers,
and that a dying sailor was dragged on to the deck with a
rope, kicked by a cabin-boy to make him rouse to work,
but as he could not work, left half naked on deck till some
one in pity dragged him to the hospital to die. Food was
given to the passengers uncooked. They wsre brutally
treated if they dared to complain. At length when the
voyage, which usually occupies a few days, had been com-
pleted in three months, eighteen of the passengers and
crew were dead, and of the remainder 72 were in various
stages of illness. The story is now being told before the
Emigration Commissioners of New York. It is a narrative
of misery which would not inadequately represent the
horrors of a slave ship.

CITY ARABS.

An East-end clergyman writes to the Times on
Miss Rye's project for helping " gutter children,"
and thinks it is well adapted for the requirninents of
a difficult class. In his own parish he has hundreds
of these children who are growing up to be thieves
and Magdalene% He gives an account of a girl in
his parish, to shew how arduous is the tas'.i of rescu-
ing these outcasts when their " vagabond habits"
have became firmly established. Another correspon-
dent lool;s with doubt on the scheme for

the emigration of pauper children, and points
out the difficulties which Miss Rye seems to
have overlooked. He does not think that the
Americans would approve of the wholesale removal
of children ; and the immigration laws arc so strict
that the children may not be allowed to land. He
considers the proposal will be quite impracticable
unless it receives the sanction of the Government of
Canada, or of the United States.
EDUCATION OF TILE BLIND.
The discussion lately raised respecting the best
means of instructing the blind is continued with
vigour. The Worcester Society proceeds upon the
assumption that the Roman type is the best suited
for universal adoption by the blind. On the other
hand, the French clotted system is fast becoming
popular ; while the Bible has been published in raised
type on Moon's and Lucas's systems, and is nearly
complete inFrere's phonetic shorthand. Dr. Armitage
hasputforward his views onthissubject at some length,
and is strongly in favour of submitting the ques-
tion at issue to the decision of a council of blind men
of education who are practically acquainted with the
different systems. The Rev. W. Taylor, of Wor-
cester, proposes that each party should print what
books they please, and leave the demand in the market
to show which the majority of the blind prefer.
It must be remembered, however, that few blind
persons would have the opportunity of judging
between the rival systems, unless they had been spe-
cially instructed. Dr. Armitage manifests some
annoyance at the course pursued by the Worcester
Society. It is to be hoped that the result of the
controversy will be an increase in the supply of
literature for the blind.

A FAMILY HEIRLOOM.
Sir Wilfrid Lawson has just obtained a highly
edifying parliamentary return of three pages,
will
of which we scarcely know whether it
more please or alarm the family whom it
concerns. It will be remembered that when Mr.
Disraeli's Government was in its death throes, the.
Earl of Lonsdale, who is 82 years old, resigned the
Lord-Lieutenancy of Cumberland and Westmore-
land, and was succeeded by his nephew and heir, Mr.
henry Lowther, M.P. for West Cumberland. There
was a great outcry. It was alleged by the Liberals
that this resignation of Lord Lonsdale's was made
in order that the dignity might be kept in
the Lowther family, which it would not have been
if Lord ' ,nsdale had died during the existence of Mr.
Gladstone's Administration. It was also complained
that the lord-lieutenancy of two counties should be
held by the same person. Thereupon Sir Wilfrid
Lawson, who has before now fought a political battle
with the Lowthers, moved for a return of all appoint-
ments to the dignities in question for thelast 110 years.
That return is now before us, and is a curious docu-
ment. We find that in 1759 the Earl of Fgremont
was Lord-Lieutenant of Cumberland, and in that
year his patent was revoked and conferred upon Sir
James Lowther. Fourteen months later Lord Egre-
mont was appointed custos of Cumberland, Sir
James Lowther custos of Westmoreland, and the
office of lord-lieutenant of both counties was con-
ferred upon the latter magnate. In 1765 Lord Egre-
mont lost his sole remaining dignity, and the com-
bined offices of Lieutenant of Cumberland; Lieutenant
of Westmoreland, Custos Rotulorum of Cumberland,
and Castes Rotulorum of Westmoreland have ever
since been held by Lowthers, whose vested interest in
these dignities seems to have been acknowledged alike
by Tories and. Whigs ; by Lord Melbourne no less
than by Lord Liverpool, the Duke of Wellington,
Sir 11. Peel, and Mr. Disraeli. But tempera mutanlur;
we need not finish the Quotation.
