AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS.

The genial weather is producing the genial farmer.
Gloomy and rather crusty a little while back, when
the rain threatened to destroy his hay and to spoil
his wheat, he is now more hopeful, and his organs
in the press tell us that the period of anxiety has not
been so very damaging after all. The Chamber of
Agriculture Journal, with regard to wheat, says that
" the blooming time has been passed under favourable
conditions," and though our contemporary is pre-
pared for great variations in quality and
quantity, and does not speak very decidedly,
it is confident that hot weather will pro-
duce an improved crop. The Mark Lane
Express is hardly so sanguine. The wheat bloomed,
the Express fears, at a most ungenial time, and now
there are indications of rust on the ear. " The
barley, too, is threatened, and looks bad ; and so do
some species of oats." The South-West, however,
seems to be: free from the causes of despondency
which are noticed elsewhere. The report to the
Mark Lane Express from Exeter: contains the
passage, " Farmers say their wheats promise well,
and so do beans, peas, and oats."

GENERAL DUCE.

The ex-Governor of Cuba, General Dulce, who was
compelled by the volunteers to resign, has arrived in
Spain, and has met with a very bad reception. The
inhabitants of Santander got up a hostile demonstration
on his landing, and he was surrounded with a furious
mob crying for his execution. A similar welcome awaited
him at Reinosa and Valladolid. The Spaniards are
profoundly affected at the prospect of losing their fine
possession, and they complain that General Dulee acted
far too leniently towards the insurgents. What will they
think of the conciliatory policy which, a cable telegram
informs us, has been adopted by Caballero de Rodas?

PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 251. 221 c. per £1 sterline'.
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
£3 'is. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that
gold at the above price is dearer in London than in Paris.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at GO
days' sight was on the 3d inst. about 1091 per cent. At this rate
there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United
States.

LISBON, July 2.

The vine disease has appeared in scme parts o
Portugal, but with diminished virulence to a small
extent.

The passengers by the Brazil packet Oneida,
from Rio de Janeiro, have been placed in quaran-
tine on the plea of yellow fever existing in the Bra-
zilian ports, but they have made a strong protest to
the Board of Health.

Some serious disturbances have taken place in
the Azores in consequence of the augmentation of
taxes. In several districts the papers have been
burnt, and vivas given in favour of the son of Don
Miguel.
The Deputies have voted an increase in the per-
sonal tax, and au increase of 50 per cent. in the in-
dustrial tax, a measure which is considered excessive,
and much discontent exists.

The Count of Lavradio, formerly Minister in
London, is suffering from severe illness.

ANOTHER LINE TO BRIGHTON.

The engineers will have a third line to Brighton
if they can; they want only the means. Another
line is now proposed. Mr. James Samuel,
has issued his plans for a competitor to the present
company. He advocates frequent light trains and
improved carriages, and thus hopes to reduce the
working expenses. He proposes to start from the
London, Chatham, and Dover Railway at Penge
station, and follow the course of the line for which
an Act was obtained in 1806 by the Chatham and
Dover and South-Eastern Companies (but since aban-
doned) for a distance of about twelve miles to the end
of the Tatsfield Tunnel. Thence he would proceed to
Oxstead, crossing the mainline of the South-Eastern
Railway a little beyond Godstone station. He would
then cross the East Grinstead line about two miles
to the west of East Grinstead, thence by West
Heathley in a nearly direct line to the West corner
of Chailey Common, crossing the Keymer Branch
Railway near Chiltington, and the Lewes line near
Falmer, running nearly parallel with the latter, and
terminating close to the Grand Parade of the North
Steyne at Brighton. The length from Penge to
Brighton is 45 miles, from Ludgate-hill to Brighton
524 miles, and from Victoria Station to Brighton 52i
miles.

THE SPANISH MINISTERS.

--
The Spanish revolutionary party has narTowTy escaped
a collapse. The Spanish Ministry is divided on the ques-
tion of Free Trade, and it was this division that led to the
recent quarrel between Prim and Figuerola, the Minister
of Finance. During a recent debate in the Cortes
General Prim spoke very strongly in favour of
Protection, whilst Figuerola, with the most pri-
mitive disregard of that unity supposed to be an
essential element in the conduct of a Ministry, made a
speech in favour of progressively reforming the tariff in the
direction of Free Trade. At one point in his address he
spoke of a Catalonian Protectionist who had sent him a
document in favour of high duties as a "miserable fellow."
Prim thereupon got up and vehemently contradicted the
the Finance Minister, declaring that the Catalonian was
not a " miserable fellow." High words passed, and a
scene of great excitement followed. However,
the temper of the new Spanish Parliament
is decidedly in favour of Free Trade, for this stormy
sitting was wound up by an anti-Protectionist vote of 130
to 30. Prim, as the chief of the Ministry, looked upon
this as a vote of censure, and resigned, the whole of the
Ministry following him. For some hours a vehement
agitation reigned at Madrid. It was thought that the
unity of the revolutionary party was at an end. The
wildest rumours respecting the return of Queen Isabella, the
arrival of the Duke of Montpensier, and the entry of Don
Carlos into the field, were circulated in the capital. But,
though the deputies had voted against Prim's Protec-
tionist policy, they felt that he could not be dispensed
with, and a vote of confidence in his administration was
passed at a meeting of the majority. His resignation and
those of his colleagues were withdrawn. It is expected
that a new Minister of Finance will be appointed, and
that Prim will be more than ever master of the situatim.

MR. I3INNEY.

The retirement of Mr. Binney from his pastorate
suggests the reflection that there has been a great
and happy progress of late years in Christian charity.
It is not so very long ago that Mr. Binney declared
of the English Church that it had destroyed
more souls than it had saved. There was
nothing of this fierce denunciation in hie
farewell sermon. True he lamented and con-
demned the " Catholic" movement, but at
the same time he bore witness to the fact that the
Church was, by congresses and convocations and
special services, and the popularising of her cathe•
drals, doing something to convert the heathendom
of our large towns. And in this matter Mr. Binney
is merely a type of theologians generally. Their
zeal has increased, their bigotry has decreased.

PARLIAMENTARY AND MUNICIPAL
ELECTIONS.

The select committee of the House of Commons for in-
quiring into the mode of conducting parliamentary and
municipal elections continued its sittings on Tueday. The
Marquis of Hartington presided ; and there were also
present Mr. Bright, Sir George Grey, Mr. Villiers, Mr.
Ward Hunt, Mr. Gathorne Hardy, Mr. Egerton, Mr. W.
H. Smith, Mr. Locke, Mr. Whitbread, The O'Connor
Don, Mr. Brand, Mr. Leatbam, and Sir F. Heygate.
The Rev. George Ruttier, Roman Catholic Archbishop
of Limerick, being examined by The O'Connor Don, con-
tradicted the evidence of Mr. Spaight, who had
stated that he took an active part in the last
election, and sent his carriage to the several polling-
booths. Speaking of the position of the electors generally,
he said they had until lately been in a sort of despair
about getting any good from legislation, and it was only
since the legislation now in progress began that they had
begun to have any hope of remedial measures. The influence
of the priests had been exercised to induce the people
to have their views carried ont by constitutional means.
He should approve of the use of the Ballot, as it would do
away with bribery and intimidation on the part of mobs
or landlords. The only way in which he saw that a priest
could get to know, by means:of the Confessional, how a man
had voted, if the Ballot were established, was, if supposing
the man knew that he had offended God by the way in
which he had voted, and confessed it as a sin. _

By Sir George Grey: If he had promised to vote in one
way and had voted in another, he must accuse himself of
that as a sin. But if he did so, the priest would not make
any use of the information directly or indirectly, for one
of the most awful obligations under which the priest was
placed was the maintaining of the secrecy of the Confes-
sional.

By Mr. Ward Hunt : The priest might impose penances.
If he in any way made use of information obtained in the
Confessional, he would violate his duty in the most essen-
tial manner, and ho would not only be set aside by his
superiors, but he would he cast out by the people.
By The O'Connor Don : The penances imposed at Con-
fessional are very slight. The Confessional could in no
way aid the priest in obtaining information which could
be used publicly afterwards. Military and police were
sometimes used at elections, and there was a strong im-
pression in tho minds of the Liberal party that when
Tory statesmen were in power the military were some-
times used to carry out their views. He did not mean to
say that the idea was correct.
By Mr. Bright : It was not conceivable that clergymen
would seek to influence a voter by refusing him the con-
solations of the Church, or in any similar way. _

By Mr. Villiers: The Ballot would be an unqualified
advantage. In a great many eases it ►cas a misfortune
tog a man to have a vote.

THE TRADES UNIONS BILL.

Mr. Harrison, a well-known member of the Trades
Unions Commission, has written to the Star on the
Trades Unions Bill. He maintains that the public
are the most interested in the bill, for it will give
them guarantees for good conduct in unionism which
they have never yet had. Most of the evils of the
system have, he believes, arisen from its want of
publicity and legal recognition. The effect of the
bill will be to leave all crimes which arise from dis-
putes as to labour to be dealt with under the same
laws as similar crimes arising from other disputes:
As to the protection accorded to the funds
of the unions, ample proof has just been
given that such protection is needed by the case of
the amalgamated carpenters. The Chief Justice has
pronounced the most creditable society in the king-
dom to be incapable of prosecuting a thief. Mr.
Harrison points out that there is a great
difference between protecting the unions and
allowing them to be incorporated. If they
were incorporated their laws must be enforced, how-
ever unreasonable or harsh. Unions are clubs which
desire to manage their own affairs, and which neither
the State nor the courts can manage for them ; but
this is no reason why they should be robbed, nor
why they should not have facilities for holding
property.

A FREE PORT IN THE MEDITERRANEAN.

A free port is about to be established in the African
State of Tripoli, at a point on the coast of the Mediterranean
due south of the western end of Candia. Every induce-
ment will be held out to foreigners to settle at this new
port, which is to be called Tabrouk. No taxes will be
imposed on the inhabitants for ten years, and they will be
furnished with tools, and even with food for the first
twelve months. An English company has been deputed to
construct the works necessary for commercial and defensive
purposes. It is expected that this free port will, through
the opening of the Suez Canal, become a place of some
importance.

PRIZE-FIGHTING IN A3IERICA.

Judging by the comments in the American papers on
the recent prize-fight, our cousins are not proud of the
noble sport which they have inherited from us. Prize-
fighting has been driven out of England, and has taken
refuge in the United States ; but the Americans unhesi,
tatingly declare that they will have none of it. The
sport lost its " ancient nobleness " here ; but it has
sunk to a lower level on the other side of the
Atlantic. The crowds which muster at these
reunions consist of the lowest of the low ; the fighting
itself is mere scrambling and throttling, not boxing. It
is alleged by some that the referee between M'Coole and
Allen was bribed to give his decision in favour of the
latter. The New York Herald remarks that the only
remaining question to be settled in connection with these
pugilistic gentry is to estimate the cost of accommodating
them in gaol.

"ALCOHOLISM."

The Philadelphia Public Ledger notes that habitual
drinking is largely on the increase in the United States.
What it calls " chronic alcoholism " is now becoming a
common cause of the removal of officers from the army.
In the ordinary walks of life, too, this most deadly of
epidemics is spreading alarmingly. The high price of
genuine spirits having introduced inferior whiskies and
brandies, the fatal effects of the morbid taste for liquors
are more and more to be observed.

A NEW CLUB.

The Liberal party contemplate following the
example of the Conservative, and forming a Junior
Reform Club, which will bear the same relation to
the Reform that the Junior Carlton does to the
Carlton. It remains to be seen if the Liberals will
vie with the Conservatives in the size and splendour
of their new habitation.

THE PROSECUTION OF THE DIRECTORS OF OVEREND.

GURNEY, AND CO.

After passing through many stages of difficulty,
the prosecution of the directors of Overend, Gurney,
and Co. is postponed for the present, and with the
prospect of being properly conducted to its issue in
November. First decried as needless and vexatious,
the case was brought before the magistrates, and the
defendants were committed for trial. Subsequently
the cause was removed into the Court of Queen's Bench,
and circumstances became so complicated that the
action seemed destined to fall to the ground. It has,
however, surmounted these difficulties in the Queen's
Bench, and yesterday the Attorney-General applied
for a postponement of the case, stating to the court
that he " believed he was about to be instructed to
prosecute." Sir John Coleridge, on the part of the
defendants, though dwelling on the cruelty of a post-
ponement, did not press his opposition to it ; and the
Lord Chief Justice granted the application.

THE BELGIAN RAILWAY DIFFICULTY.

The Constitutionnel says that by the agreement arrived
at in the matter of the railway difficulty between Belgium
and France, a direct service of trains is definitely esta-
blished between Anvers and Bale, and a common
tariff of fares has been prescribed for all the railway
companies concerned. The commission has like-
wise arranged a financial settlement between the
East of France Company and the Belgian and Dutch
owners of the lines over which the French trains will run.
The Constitutionnel adds that this agreement has not been
embodied in a convention; but merely takes the form of a
minute, laying down general conditions on the basis of
which the companies themselves will be enabled to
establish an international system of traffic.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

A public meeting was held in St. James's Hall, on
Monday, convened by the Protestant Electoral
Union, in vindication of freedom of speech and the
liberty of the subject. The object of the meeting
was to take into consideration the illegal imprison-
ment of Mr. Murphy and other lecturers. Mr.
Newdegate presided, and said that he had come there
because he thought that grave constitutional prin-
ciples were at stake. The Mayor of Birmingham
had violated the right of free speech and free dis-
cussion in the arrest of Mr. Murphy, and he
condemned his course as arbitrary, unjust,
and without precedent. He intended to bring the
matter under the notice of the House of Commons.
Some resolutions were unanimously passed condemn-
ing the interference of the Home Secretary with the
right of meeting, and disapproving of the conduct of
certain local authorities who had interrupted persons
about to attend a lawful meeting. Petitions to both.
Houses of Parliament were adopted and the proceed-
ings terminated.

CONCURRENT ENDOWMENT.

Another protest is made by a clergyman against
concurrent endowment. The IZev. J. C. Kyle
publishes a letter, in which he says :—" If we must
either pay the. Roman Catholic priests or be prepared
for complete disendowment of the Protestant Church,
I have not the slightest hesitation about my answer.
I would rather see the whole United Church of
England and Ireland disestablished and disendowed
to-morrow than see Roman Catholic priests paid by
the State."

IMPERIAL PARMA ij ENT

HOUSE OF COMiIONS.—THIS DAY.
The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock.
TRADES' UNIONS, &c., BILL.
Mr. T. HUGHES moved the second reading of this bill,
the object of which was to relieve trades' unions from an
exceptional position in the eye of the law, leaving them
separated, like other bodies, to the general law of the
country when charges were preferred against them. It
also proposed to prevent the recurrence of illegal and ob-
jectionable acts on their part, and to enable them to
take measures for their protection against fraud in a sum-
mary and inexpensive way beforn a justice of the peace.
He denied that trades unions—in which strikes were un-
avoidable—were favourable to them, or that their opera-
tion had the effect of driving trade out of the country. The
remedy proposed by the measure, which he had the honour
to ask the house to read a second time, was to
sweep away the combination laws, and to allow masters
and workpeople to make their contracts with respect to
the manner in which work should be performed, and for
making such societies subject to the common law of the
country. The only other proposal of the bill was
to protect the funds of these societies, which
the Embezzlement Act passed last year did not
sufficiently guard. He thought those societies
deserved well of the country if only for the amount of
good they did in the way of benevolence. The Engineers'
Society had paid away no less a sum than £lOO,OOO in
supporting the members of their own body against the
privations caused by want of work and other circum-
stances; the ironworkers had also paid upwards of .£30,000
in support of their members when in want, and nume-
rous other societies had done equally large amounts
of benefit ; and, if - on no other ground, he
hoped that the house would read the bill
a second time if only on the grounds of expediency.
(Hear, hear.) If these large trade societies were placed
on the same position as other friendly societies, the most
beneficial results would follow, but if Parliament refused
them that which was but justice, there never would be
peace amongst the industrious classes of the country.
Mr. MUNDELLA seconded the motion.

Mr. MASSEY said that while the bill gave protection
to a large body of persons belonging to trades' unions,
yet he thought it ought to be so arranged that the same
amount of protection ought to be given to those who kept
aloof from those societies. He did not believe that
trades' unions did anything like the benefits claimed for
them by those engaged in them. The great regulator was
supply and demand—(hear) —and lie could safely assure
the house that the rate of wages did not give a true view
of the value of the work done, because he could speak
from certain facts that in works carried on by his father
abroad, that in all cases where the highest price for la-
bour was paid there the work was better and more satis-
factorily performed than in cases where low wages were
only given.

THE UNIVERSITIES AND WOMEN.

The University of Cambridge has lately enlarged
its sphere of influence and usefulness. The principle,
first adopted some fifteen years ago, of examining
candidates not members of a university, and in other
places than a university town, has been extended
from schoolboys to schoolgirls. The result in the
first case was so satisfactory, was found to give so
much precision to tuition, thereby affording both
teachers and taught just the one thing they
needed, that the women who have lately
been claiming greater rights for their sex
asked that the examination might be extended to
girls. They saw well enough that before the
" rigyts "can be granted there must be an increase of
qualifications. If women obtain the franchise at all,
it will not be until they have received a very different
sort of education from that which the report of the
Schools Inquiry Commission shews they have been
receiving hitherto. Hence it is that at this present
moment girls over 18 years of age are undergoing
examination at Leeds and London by examiners from
the University of Cambridge.

PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and'
the short exchange on London is 25f. 221 c. per ZI aterlino..
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price Of,
£3 10id. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that
gold at the above price is dearer in London than in Paris.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 64'
days' sight was on the 3d inst. about 109 i per cent. At this rate'
there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United:

holds that the British doVerriment ought to acknow-
ledge, without reference to arbitration, its liability
for the depredations of the Alabama. If this were
clone, accompanied by England's regret, the doings
of the other Southern cruisers, which leave more
room for doubt, may be referred, and the question
thus settled. But that our liability in the case of
the Alabama admits of no doubt is, according to the
World, the fixed judgment of the Americans. The
proposal is new, is much more moderate than any
other we have had of late, and, most important of
all, it is supposed to represent the views of Mr. Fish,
the successor of Mr. Seward.

COUNT BISMARCI ON PRUSSIAN POLICY.

One of the irrepressible correspondents of the New
York Herald furnishes that journal with a report of a con-
versation with Count Bismarck, in which the Prussian
Chancellor seems to have been remarkably communicative
on important matters of policy. The inquisitive
journalist had no hesitation in asking the statesman
whether the sivation of Europe would permit a reduction
of the army budget, with the view of relieving North
Germany from financial difficulty. Count Bismarck
replied that such a course could not be thought of.
"North Germany," he said, "must remain watchful and
armed, for she has no guarantee of the intentions of France
and Austria. England and America have a quarrel of
their own, and as to an alliance with Russia, the Opposi-
tion in the North German Parliament will not hear of it.
In such a situation Germany must rely upon herself, and
cannot therefore reduce her military force. It is true that
the people of France do not desire war ; but the French
nation is easily inflamed, and it may plunge into hostilities
with a precipitation incredible to more phlegmatic nations."
This is interesting, and the meaning is clear. As the French
nation, however much " inflamed," cannot make war
of its own will, Count Bismarck evidently meant to say
that though the people of France did not desire war, yet
their ruler was not in this respect to be depended upon.

MR. DINNEY.

The retirement of Mr. Binney from his pastorate
suggests the reflection that there has been a great
and happy progress of late years in Christian charity.
It is not so very long ago that Mr. Binney declared
of the English Church that it had destroyed
more souls than it had saved. There w 9.5
nothing of this fierce denunciation in his
farewell sermon. True he lamented and con-
demned the " Catholic" movement, but at
the same time he bore witness to the fact that the
Church was, by congresses and convocations and
special services, and the popularising of her cathe-
drals, doing something to convert the heathendom
of our large towns. And in this matter Mr. Binney
is merely a type of theologians generally. Their
zeal has increased, their bigotry has decreased.
