THZ FRENCII ATLANTIC CABLE.

the owners of the French Atlantic Cable have little
to fear respecting a refusal of Congress to allow it to be
permanently established in the United States. Whatever
may be the law on the subject, the Americans are shrewd
enough to see that the cable will be highly beneficial to
their own interests, and they are, accordingly, determined
to have it. Some of the New York papers even complain
that Mr. Secretary Fish raised any question about the
landing of the cable. Some parties connected with
the existing English cable are charged with
" lobbying " against the French line. The directors
indeed, have wisely refrained from any hostility; but,
according to the Times City article, "it is plain, from
what is stated in New York, that some parties there who
are understood to be connected with the company have
been pursuing a different course, and have exposed them-
selves, from the transparency of their motives, to severe
criticism." The new French line will open for business on
the 15th of August.
THE CA/MIST OUTBREAK.
-

Though the police are still hard at work making arrests
In Madrid and the provinces, though the agitation still
continues at some points, it becomes
more than ever clear
that the Carlist rising is a failure. Dissension amongst
the partisans of the Pretender has done much to dissipate
what little chance they may have had. Many of the
partisans of Queen Isabella have joined the cause of Don
Carlos, and these have acquired such influence as to disgust
Cabrera and the old supporters of the family. It is certain
that Cabrera, the only general who could have entertained
the smallest hope of subduing General Prim, held back
from some cause or other, and has had no connection with
this rising. His abstention was of itself sufficient to decide
the contest against his party.
The letters from Spain agree in stating that the move•
ment has met with no sympathy whatever from the mass
of the people. The correspondent of the Standard re-
marks that a few lines daily in the Official Gazette are
sufficient to record its progress, or rather the progress
of its suppressors, while whole columns are taken up
by telegrams directed to the Government from every
city, town, and village in the Peninsula, offering supp(xt
to the authorities, and from volunteers of liberty, asking
to be led against the Carlists. The Government has
acted with great candour, allowing every telegram, as it
came into the offices at Madrid, to be copied by the repre-
sentatives of the press. This has done much to reassure the
people. It is a great pity, though, that a little more news
was not allowed to cross the frontier.

MOBBING ROYALTY.

The Prince and the Princess of Wales have gone
to Wildbad; therefore—it follows as night the day
—half the fashionable world must also go there.
Why, it is difficult to say. The Times puts it down
to " exuberant loyalty." If this is the real reason
for the mobbing which princes so often
get, might it not be suggested to the
overflowing loyalists that their first duty is to
administer to the comfort and pleasure of those for
whom they are so fond of demonstrating their devo-
tion ; their Royal Highnesses, now in Germany,
have gone to get quiet and repose. Is it a demon-
stration of loyalty to deprive them of what they
undoubtedly need ?

BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.

On Mr. GL ADS TONE moving that Government orders
of the day have precedence of othor orders of the day on
Tuesday and Wednesday next,

MARRIAGE WITI.I A DECEASED WIFE'S SISTER.
Mr. IMRE said such an arrangement would, he felt
satisfied, prevent the Ratner progress of the bill this ses-
sion, which the hon. and learned member for Marylebone
had so particularly pressed forward.
. . .

Mr. oIIAMBEII6 said in the present state of business
he felt it quite impossible to carry on the bill with any
view of success during the remaiLder of the session, so he
should withdraw the bill ho could not refrain from ex-
pressing Lis thanks on tho part of thousands out of the
house for the earnestness, euthusias:n, and constancy with
Which they have given their support to the bill. Ho was
not iu the least discouraged, and early next session he
should reintroduce the bill, when he hoped to secure the
approval of both Houses of Parliament to the measure.
(Hear: hear.)
The motion of Mr. Gladstone's was then agreed to.
THE PATENT LAWS.

Mr. MAGPIE gave notice that in the event of the Go-
vernment next session not bringing in a bill to abolish the
Patent Laws, he should move the appointment of a Royal
Commission to inquire into the whole of the subject.

wore for the most part improvements, but there ware ono
or two that he should have to ask the house to send back
to the House of Lords for reconsideration. He did no:
anticipate any difficulty would arise to prevent the bill
receiving the Royal assent. The amendments he referred
to moro particularly were those in clauses '2, 6, and 8.

THE WEATHER IN JUL(..

The extraordinary freaks which the clerk of the
weather has played us during the last few seasons
render the catalogue of the month's variations of
temperature a matter of interest. July, however, has
been more in accordance with its character than its
immediate predecessors, and though cold and polar
winds blew continuously during the first few days,
they gave way after the 4th to an equatorial thermal
current, which lasted with little change through the
month, so that the temperature was after all higher
than the average for the last fifty years. The
hottest day was the 10th, when the mean temperature
was 73 deg., whereas the average mean of the last 50
years was, according to Mr. Glaisher, 62.9 deg. As
might be expected, several fatal cases of sunstroke
are recorded; but the first fortnight of the
month was remarkably healthy. Great varia-
tions were perceptible in the temperature of the
nights and early mornings. The night ranged from
49 deg. on the Ist, to 65 on tho 13th, while there
was an even greater difference between the morning
of the 3rd and the 23rd. Rain has been very scanty,
St. Swithin being favourable, and the earth in many
places is parched and fissured with the drought.

ITAILVESTING BY HOT BLAST.

Mr. Gibbs complains of the statement that was
made in the Times' report of the trial of his harvesting
process at Manchester. It was said that it required
a shed ten times the size of the one used to deal
with the grain crops of an average farm.
This is denied by Mr. Gibbs, but he says
that the system remains the same, and it
was for the system, and not the shed, that the Royal
Agricultural Society offered their gold medal. Ile
claims to have fully earned the offered medal, having
proved his system to be both practical and
economical, and declares that if it is withheld from
him the society will forfeit all claim to confidence.
In reference to the above the Times observes that
the judges could hardly be expected to award the
medal for a process that dried so slowly as at tho
rate of 128 sheaves per hour? and it is because Mr.
Gibbs's invention is so promising that it again asks
him to shew, in actual operation, a hot-blast, drying
sheaves as rapidly as a set of carters can bring them
to the apparatus, and keeping, at least, one set of
stackers busy.

THE FAN DOMINGO LOAN.

The CiLy editors of the metropolitan journals have
got up rather a lively quarrel about the proposed
loan to the Government of San Domingo. On the
one hand, it is asserted that General Luperon is
trying to bring about a revolution, that he is likely
to be successful, and that if he does overturn the ex-
isting Government the money subscribed to this loan
will be lost. On the other hand, it is maintained
that though General Luperon did capture Samana a
little while ago, he was compelled to return to his
ships in three days, and that the Government of
President Baez, who applies for the loan, is firmly
established. The matter may be briefly summed up.
The credit of San Domingo is bad, its internal condi-
tion is little known, and it is at least liable to a
revolution. Those who subscribe to the loan,
therefore, do so at a very great risk.

FOREIGN NOTES.
TUE JJIIMICAN DEBT.

A cable telegram informs us that the debt of the
United States has been reduced during the month of July
by seven and a qiiarter millions of dollars. The Govern.
ment intends to boy ten millions of bonds during the
month of August, or, in other words, to redeem that quan-
tity of debt. The American people do not weary of the
burden of taxation which is necessary in order to pay off
these enormous sums. The resolution to clear off the
liabilities of the nation is the one point on which all
parties seem unanimous.

THE INDIAN RAILWAYS.

To none is the question of Indian railways of
greater interest than to the Cotton Supply Associa-
tion, and by none has the announcement that the
Government will in future cArry on the work of
construction been received with greater satiaLc-
tion. The carriage of Indian cotton from the
districts where it is grown to the sea coast
is a matter of as much importance as the
rearing of the plant itself. The Duke of Argyll has
promised, in answer to representations from the
association, to push on the Indian lines with special
reference to the cotton-growing regions. The India
Office will likewise organise agricultural instructors,
who, in conjunction with the collectors of districts,
will, beside their duty in promoting the best methods
of agriculture, obtain statistics relative to cereal and
textile produce.

THE WICKLOW PEERAGE CLAIM.

The Wicklow peerage claim was again before the House
of Lord's Committee of Privileges on Monday. Their
lordships had made an order for the production of a Mr.
Bordenave, a material witness in the case. Mr. Bordenave,
however, had kept out of the way, and could not be
" got at." Their lordships ordered him to be taken into
custody.

Sir Roundell Palmer then addressed the committee
against Mrs. Howard and her young son, and in favour
of Mr. Charles Francis Arnold, who now holds the
estates. The learned counsel, in the course of his further
comments on Mrs. Howard's story, remarked that nothing
was more grossly improbable than that there should have
been a conspiracy to conceal the birth of a child under
such circumstance as those in question, and there was
nothing to account for the mystery which surrounded the
birth in this case, except the necessity which fraud was
under, first to work in secret, and afterwards to
explain the secrecy. After referring to the state-
ment that a bribe of £lO,OOO was offered to Dr. Wilkie to
say nothing of the birth, and absence of reliable information
as to preparations for that event, Sir R. Palmer said
the only difficulty in the case was the hesitation which
everybody must feel in believing that persons can be found
to join together in an infamous conspiracy to deceive their
lordships' House. But even this difficulty was almost
disposed of by the extraordinary representations with
regard to Mrs. Howard's condition at the time of the
alleged birth, and
.the circumstances under which the
birth took place. It was utterly improbable that
a woman should have applied for a situation as a
governess when she was far advanced in preg-
nancy ; and an eminent medical man would be
called who would tell their lordships that it was
impossible that the story as to later events could be true.
Then, again, the child had neither been baptised,
vaccinated, nor registered, so that all the usual
evidence had been suppressed. Was such a course
likely to be pursued in the case of the heir to great
titles and estates? Was it not quite plain that the
persons making this claim knew it would be better for
their own interests that they should not preserve the
proper evidence, but should surround the matter with
mystery and darkness ?

GENTLEMEN NOTE.

" Silken tresses " is no longer a poetic expression ;
henceforth it is hard, sober fact. Gentlemen of the
" spoony " turn of mind must, therefore, be careful ;
it will be no compliment to use the phrase in regard
to a lady's hair. For the Daily News tells us that silk
itself is now used as a substitute for human hair,
and it can be had very cheap. The righteous indig-
nation of the lovely maiden on being told she wears
silken tresses may be (as the penny-a-liners say)
better imagined than described.

ANNEXATION FEELING IN CANADA.

The Philadelphia Public Ledger thinks that a great
change in favour of annexation to the United States is
noticeable in British North America. In Nova Scotia a
great number of public men and five or six
daily and weekly journals openly advocate annexa-
tion. In New Brunswick, an editor, who three
years ago took the other side of the question, is now
much more violent in the expression of sentiments of an
opposite character, favouring annexation. The repre-
sentative of the city of St. John, in the Provincial Legis-
lature, has introduced in that body a resolution declaring
in favour of annexation, and in the province of Edward's
Island two newspapers advocate the same policy.

CRIME IN LIVERPOOL.

to announce a decrease in the number of larcenies of
all kinds committed in the important town which he
protects. Last year the total of offences of this kind
was 12,0741 this year it is 10,584. But there is one
species of iniquity which continues to prosper and
flourish unceasingly. Needless to say it is drunken-
ness. There were 14,451 drunken cases in 1868.
There were 18,803 in 1809, and all previous years
show much smaller numbers than either of these
two.

A BEACAS IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE.

Captain Alexander A. Greig, of Horton Kirby, has been
summoned before the county magistrates at Sidcup,
Kent, for assaulting Mr. Hamilton Cornwall, a clerk in the
Horse Guards, and residing at the Vicarage, Eynsford.
Mr. Cornwall said he was returning home by the
4.30 p.m. train from Victoria Station, with a
fellow clerk from the Horse Guards, named Willoughby
Gordon O'Neil. At Herne-hill they changed carriages into
the city portion of the train, and got into a first-class
smoking carriage. Witness sat next to the defendant, who
gruffly remarked, "I wish you had kept out—you are not
wanted here." The conversation then turned on a stormy
meeting held at the Darenth Vale Literary Institution.
Witness was a member of the Institution Committee, and
Captain Greig was one of the subscribers. Captain Greig
became excited, and said the institution was ill-managed,
which was chiefly the fault of the committee. Witness replied
that it was not defendant's paltry subscription whiCh kept
the institution up, and that if he or any one else said the
committee did not do all in their power to further the
interests of the institution, they did not tell the truth.
Captain Greig said, "You are a great man in your own
estimation, but a great fool in everybody else's." In
some further conversation about the institution, wit-
ness said to the captain, "If you had an atom of
spunk in you, you would have attended the meeting
and made known your complaints there." Defendant
then struck witness a blow in the face with his clenched
fist, remaiking, " I will knock you down in the
presence of these gentlemen." Witness immediately left
the carriage. In cross-examination complainant stated
that the blow was slight, and did not disfigure him, or
cause him any suffering beyond the feeling of a gentleman
who has been insulted by another. The Bench inflicted a
fino of and 12s. 6d. costs. Captain Greig was then
charged in a second summons with sending a threatening
letter to Mr. Cornwall. The Bench dismissed the sum-
mons. A third and cross summons was then heard, in
which Captain Greig summoned Mr. Cornwall for making
use of language calculated to produce a breach of the
peace, as given in his own evidence. The Bench in this
case fined Mr. Cornwall 10s. and costs.
London, England, 1869-11-10

EXTRA POLICE IN IRELAND.

The imposition of a tax for the maintenance of an
extra police force at Cappawhite
~since the murder
of Mr. Bradshaw has canged much irritation amongst
the farmers of that district. The whole assessment
was £75 for three months, and about twenty persons
were made liable to the tax. Only £2B has been
paid, of which sum £2O has been contributed by four
persons. The defaulters were summoned at the Petty
Sessions, and a lively contest took place between
their legal defender and the magistrate. The former
declared that the imposition for extra police
ought to be levied only upon those persons who
were supposed to sympathise with the assassins.
There were few in the country, he said, who were
not perfectly satisfied that the peasantry of the neigh-
bourhood had nothing to do with the murder of Mr.
Bradshaw, and they were indignant at a slur being
cast upon-them. -The wording of 4he Act implied an
imputation, and it was passed as a kind of punishment
in order to force perso:ls who know anything con-
cerning an outrage to conic forward and give infor-
mation. The defendants disclaimed all know-
ledge of Mr. Bradshaw's murder. The magistrate
agreed with this statement. lle was quite sure that
the peasantry in no way synipathised with the crime ;
but the imposition of a tax for extra police did not
imply any imputation. Lltimately a decision was
given that the defendants must pay; but the magis-
trate stayed execution in order to have a further opinion
on this interesting point.

SMALL MOPETITIES.

The Times' corninisgcner is now considering the
conditions of agricultmal life in Galway and Clare.
His letter from this wild legion is chiefly interesting,
as sheaving the working of small proprietorships. In
1857 the vast property of the late Marquis of Tho-
mond was sold by the Encumbered Estates Court,
and nurchased in small lots by the occunying tenantry.

len years. trial clearly proves that where these pur-
chasers cultivate the land themselves prosperity
and improvement are evident. But where they
have sublet their holdings, and turned them-
selves into landlords, little progress is to be seen, and
the sub-tenants feel themselves in the power of a
class like the old grasping middle-man. The Com-
missioner quotes the following evidence :

Where Class No. 1 purchased, vast improvements are
observable in the way of building, fencing, and, in seine
few instances, draining. In a word, they have applied a
good deal of labour to the land, and are enjoying
the fruits of their labour in the increased value of their
holdings. . . . Class No. 2, with few exceptions, had
to take the stock from the land to sell it, in order to make
up the purchase-money, and then let it to tenants, not at
such rent as they themselves held it at, but in some cases
at twice and thrice the rent. This class of new landlords
has certainly done a vast deal of harm in the country;
being themselves hungry for money, they squeeze as much
out of their unfortunate tenants as possible. . . .
These lands, with an odd exception, are still unimproved,
and are likely to remain so.
London, England, 1869-11-10

CRUELTY TO CATTLE.

A little while ago Miss Burdett Coutts published a
letter in which she pleaded the cause of mercy against
the cruel and avoidable sufferings to which animals
are so unnecessarily subjected while in transit
by railway or by steamboats. This benevolent
lady, as usual, has added example to precept. It is
now four years since the Scotch Agricultural Society
granted a medal to Mr. W. Reid, of Granton, for his
improved cattle truck, furnished with spring buffers,
and troughs, &c., so as to give fodder and water to cattle
in transit; but no specimens of his simple contrivance
have ever been brought into use. Miss Coutts, however,
has offered to fit up ten of Reid's cattle trucks at
Le: own expense for the use of the North British
Company, and on Saturday six head were sent from
Edinburgh to London in one of these improved
conveyances. This is the proper way to
solve the difficulty. Everybody knows what
are the —v1,4,,,,,th0 sufferings which cattle
vii aI r pin ••••••.--, • r• at," cr
of food and water, lack of buffers to the trucks to
prevent concussions, and the lack of battens on
the floors of the trucks to enable the animals to
steady their feet. Then is no difficulty in
remedying these evils. The one difficulty is to get
the remedies carried into practice. The benevolent
persons who are assisting Miss Coutts call loudly for
the interference of the Privy Council.

TEE OVEREND AND GURNEY CASE.

Dr. Thom, who is conducting the Overend and
Gurney prosecution, seems baffled at every turn. He
got the trial at first appointed for the Cen-
tral Criminal Court. From thence, however,
it was removed to the Court of Queen's Bench. In
the Queen's Bench a rule prevails that no one but
counsel shall be heard. Dr. Thom thought to "appear
on his own behalf," as the phrase is. To obtain
counsel would cost money. He has applied
for money to the Government, and has been
refused : the Crown has been asked to take
up the prosecution ; that request has been set
aside : Chancery has been called upon to supply the
funds, and
,here, again, Dr. Thom was unsuccessful.
Finally, the Court of Queen's Bench was asked on
Monday to allow the prosecutor to appear personally
and as no formal motion could be made the Lord
Chief Justice told the applitaut that he was out
of order, and he had to "resume his seat"

CHESTER.

Some doubt appears to exist as to the probable
Liberal candidate for this city. The Liverpool
Mercury states that the Hon. Norman Grosvenor,
son of Lord Ebury, has been named by the
Marquis of Westminster as one he would
wish to see succeed him, and the leading
Liberals of all shades have agreed to
support him. This being the case (continues our
contemporary), any attempt by the Conservative
party to put forth a candidate for the representation
of Chester will be futile. On the other hand, the
Advertiser announces that Captain Grosvenor, the
eldest son of Lord Ebury, and the senior repre-
sentative of Westminster, intends vacating
his seat, in order to stand for Chester.
Should ho decide upon this course (says
the Advertiser), General Peel will come forward in
the Conservative interest, for Westminster, and Sir
John Lubbock is spoken of as the Liberal candi-
date.
