THE COLONIAL SOCIETY.

The inaugural dinner of the Colonial Society was
a brilliant affair. But was it necessary to ask Mr.
Reverdy Johnson ? 'That gentleman's loquacity and
indiscretion are pretty well known by this time.
Latterly those qualities have assumed a rather offen-
sive form. At first we were pleased with the
profuse amount of " butter'' which he used to pour
over everything that was English. " Butter," however,
palls, not to say sickens, at last, and we began to
weary of his elaborate compliments. Recently he
seems to have received instructions from home to
adopt another tone. He was tolerably disagreeable
at Glasgow, but at the colonial dinner he was some-
thing more. Mr. Roebuck denouncing, at Mr.
Johnson's first dinner, the United States as the
receptacle of the scum of Europe, scarcely sinned
more against good manners than Mr. Johnsen in dis-
cussing at the colonial dinner the annexation
of our North American colonies to the
United States. Lord Granville; the model( of
courtesy, the very incarnation of good breed-
ing, could not refrain from a little delicate
satire when he spoke of Mr. Johnson's " singular "
eloquence, and declined to make him a present of
British America. The presence of Sir 0-. E.
Cartiermight have suggested to Mr. Johnson
that the application of the Monroe doctrine
northwards is not a very probable event. On the
contrary, we gather from Lord Granville's remarks
that there is good reason to hope for the extension
of the confederation from ocean to ocean.

The LORD CAIANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

The Earl of AIRLIE moved the appointment of a select
committee to inquire into the question of the law of
hypothec in Scotland.
The motion was agreed to.

The Marquis of CLANRIGARDE laid on the table a

which was read a first time.
Their Lordships then adjourned.

MUNICIPAL FRANCHISE IN IRELAND.

Mr. FORTESCUE, in reply to Mr. M'CLulu, said
although he agreed with him that the municipal franchise
in Ireland was in an unsatisfactory state, he was unable to
say at the present moment whether a bill would be
brought in during the present session to deal with it.

THE AMERICAN POSTAL CONTRACT.

The CHANCELLOR, of the EXCHEQUER said the
hon. gentleman the member for Liverpool asked him whe-
ther a contract with Mr. Inman for a service from Queens-
town to New York, ou Friday instead of Thursday, on
terms in other respects identical with the contract now
before the house, had been sanctioned by the present
Board of Treasury, and he must answer that question
in the negative. The contract he spoke of the other
night, made by the Duke of Mouteose on the 11th Dec., and
which 6till awaited the sanction of the House of Commons,
was the only contract he knew of, and if it received the
approval of Parliament the Government would at once
proceed to its completion. With the exception of the
change of day from Thursday to Friday Mr. Inman does
stipulate that the other conditions of his contract should
be the same as that already entered into with the Duko of
Montrose.

THE ACCIDENT TO LORD WILTON.

The list of killed and wounded in the hunting-
field during the present season would make up a list
as long as that of many a battle-field. The most
expert riders have fallen victims no less than the
"duffers." Sir John Johnstone and Sir Charles
Slingsby were most accomplished sportsmen, -and
they are both dead. The Earl of Wilton is another
noted Nimrod, and hP has just come to grief with a
fractured wrist and frtctured ribs. His lordship is
rather old for this Lort of thing. Tle is in his 70th
vear.

HORSEFLESH.

Admiral Rous writes again to the Times on the
subject which has so long excited attention, the
premature racing and training of racehorses. He
argues that training must be begun early, and carried
on at great expense ; and why not let the horses
Face ? When they are broken down, he says, " the
injury done is generally an inflamed sinew or an
enlarged joint both fatal to racing—but that
three months' rest sets the horse all right."
He also points out that the Newmarket
rules do not apply to other races, but are only
optionally adopted by the authorities at other places.
At the same time he would alter the time for dating
the birth of horses to the lst of April, but wcmld
oppose the prevention of running of two-year-olds
until the Ist of July. In reply to this,
the Times points out that there are cer-
tain general rules to be observed in all racing
which are framed •by [ the Jockey Club. These
could be altered; and if an alteration can be made to
the Ist of April, why should it not be extended to
the Ist of July ? As to slight injuries being caused
by over-training, the Times appeals to the physiolo-
gists as to whether the injuries are not caused to the
whole constitution of the horse and transmitted
inevitably to its descendants.

FOREIGN NOTES.

THE NOTE Or SPRING.

Spring is always a critical time for the delicate constitu-
tion of Europe. Though European politics never, on the
whole, wore a more pacific aspect than at present— they
are pacifically stagnant, in fact—yet the rumours of war
which the winter dissipated have returned in greater force
than ever. The Paris correspondent of the Independence
Beige says that never was confidence more troubled, never
have the rumours of imminent strife been more persistent.
It would be idle to enter into the details of these reports ;
there always is a plentiful stock of schemes on hand, and,
as usual, war preparations are discovered in plenty. As
the Indspendance Beige remarks, these alarms are note-
worthy because they are the sole preoccupation at Paris.
A very little consideration would convince people that the
Government which has just taken a prominent part in
a great act of conciliation is not likely to follow it up with
an aggressive war. But the multitude is not given to
logic, and at a time when business, especially in France, is
in a deplorably low ebb, the phantom of war is scarcely
less injurious than the reality.

tish loss three killed and thirty wounded,
not British loss 300, as stated in the telegram r",
ceived by me. It will thus be seen that the error
;
in the figures were made in the transmission °f the

colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the

THE RATE OF POSTAGE.

Mr STAPLETON inquired whether the Government
had any inteution to further reduc3 the postage on news-
Papers-

Lord HARTINGTON said he had not the power to
authorise the transmission through the Post-office at a
less charge than ld.; the matter, however, was under
consideration, and when tha subject was being discussed
next week he would state what intentions existed with re-
spect to the lowering the rate of postage on newspapers
and other printed matter at a less charge than Id.

EDUCATIUN.

On the motion for going into Oommiaee ofSupplf,

Mr. MELLY called the attention of the house to the
number of young children in our large towns who were
growing up without any education, unaffected either by
the educational clausesof the Factory Act or by voluntary
efforts, and moved fur a select committee to inquire into
the serious state of matters, and report on a system of
education that might remedy the same.
Mr. DIXON seconded the motion.

Air. FAWCETT moved as an amendment the fol-
lowing:—" That in the opialon of that House it
was inexpedient to grant the proposed committee,
because the Government had at its command the h.furma-
Lion necessary for the framing of a comprehensive mea-
sure of national education, and that this house was fur-
ther of opinion that it was most important that such a
measure should be introduced with the least possible
delay."

HORSEFLESH.

Admiral Rous writes again to the Times on the
subject which has so long excited attention, the
premature racing and training of racehorses. He
argues that training must be begun early, and carried
on at great expense ; and why not let the horses
race ? When they are broken down, he says, " the
injury done is generally an inflamed sinew or an
enlarged joint both fatal t 3 racing—but that
three months' rest sets the horse all right."
He also points out that the Newmarket
rules do not apply to other races, but are only
optionally adopted by the authorities at other places.
At the same time he would alter the time for dating
the birth of horses to the Ist of April, but would
oppose the prevention of running of two-year-olris
until the Ist of J uly. In reply to this,
the Times points out that there are cer-
tain general rules to be observed in all racing
which are framed by Lthe Jockey Club. These
could be altered; and if an alteration can be made to
the Ist of April, why should it not be extended to
the Ist of July ? As to slight injuries being caused
by over-training, the Times appeals to the physiolo-
gists as to whether the injuries are not caused to the
whole constitution of the horse and transmitted
inevitably to its descendants.

'FOREIGN NOTES..

THE NOTE OP SPRING.

Spring is always a critical time for the delicate constitu-
tion of Europe. Though European politics never, on the
whole, wore a more pacific aspect than at present—they
are pacifically stagnant, iu fact—yet the rumours of war
which the winter dissipated have returned in greater force
than ever. The Paris correspondent of the Indepoidance
Beige says that never was confidence more troubled, never
have the rumours of imminent strife been more persistent.
It would be idle to enter into the details of these reports ;
there always is a plentiful stock of schemes on hand, and,
as usual, war preparations are discovered in plenty. As
the Ind 4endance Beige remarks, these alarms are note-
worthy because they are the sole preoccupation at Paris.
A very little consideration would convince people that the
Government which has just taken a prominent part in
a great act of conciliation is not likely to follow it up with
an aggressive war. But the multitude is not given to
logic, and at a time when business, especially in France, is
in a deplorably low ebb, the phantom of war is scarcely
less injurious than the reality.

in Ireland was in an unsatisfactory state, he was unable to

LIFE ASSURANCE BY THE POST-OFFICE.
Lord HARTINGTON, in reply to a question by Mr
Welts as to whether the Postmaster-General proposed to
bring in a bill for authorising the granting of life assur-
ances as low as £5, said it was the intention of the Govern-
ment either through himself or the Chancellor of tha
Exchequer to introduce a bill to (hit effect. (Hear, hear.)

THE LORDS OF THE TREASURY.

The appointment of the Marquis of Lansdowne to
the post of Extra Lord of the Treasury is likely to
be again brought before the House of Commons.
It is felt by many Liberals that it is manifestly
unfair that a young lord should be a member of the
Government simply because he is wealthy, and an
opinion prevails that in time this system would ex-
clude all middle-class men from promotion.
During the last few days a good deal of grumbling
has been expressed, and the Scotsman states that it
is proposed to frame a resolution which, while
admitting that the Government have not transgressed
any rule, shall establish one for the future that such
appointments shall not be made. In the event of
this motion being carried, it will be interesting
to notice whether the noble lord will resign his office
Dr receive the usual salary of a thousand a year.

A PECK OF DIR 7.

Some few months ago Dr. Letheby made knovil
the results of various analyses of London mud, and
told us that it contained 57 per cent. of horse rat
fuse, 30 per cent. of abraded stone, and 13 per ce°
of abraded iron—from horses' hoofs and wheel tires•
This delectable compound, rising in the form of
dust in dry weather, is inhaled by passengere

chemist, at about the same time, made similar rev"'
lations concerning the detritus of his city. 14°'r

THE ILEFORM LEAGUE

The Ade in mourning. The Reform League
is to lose
president, Mr. Beales. At the last
meeting he declared that he thought the crisis for
which the Reform
League was formed was now over,
and he, therefore, liptshi is
resigned his position. Mr. Howell,
the secretary, also threw up his post, for the same
reason. The decision will raise Mr. Beales somewhat
in public estimation. But what shall be said of the
other members of the council who still insist upon
having spouting meetings ?

REACTION IN SPAIN.

The refusal of the Government to grant a general amnesty,
that is, a pardon which should include the supporters of
Isabella and all other political offenders, on the ground
that the reactionary party was still busy, seems to be not
unfounded. The semi-official papers of Madrid say that
Queen Isabella has just withdrawn a million sterling from
the Bank of England, and, of course, this is to be devoted
to agitation. The frontier near Bayonne is "swarming"
with partisans, who are concentrated in great force at one
very strong point. No doubt agitation of some kind is
going on, and it would be probably imprudent to despise
it. But it is very doubtful whether the danger of
releasing a few wrc..Aes who are lingering in dungeons
would not be more than compensated by the good effect
which always attends an act of clemency. It is note-
worthy that at the division on the amnesty the minority
mustered ninety-four, thirty of the Monarchists having
gone over to the Republicans.
