Tun DAGENII.43I DOCKS.

--- -----
The Railway 11-ews makes a suggestion which the
Customs' Commissioners would do well to consider.
One of the reasons why they refuse to grant linding
powers to the Dagenham DocLs Company is that the
distance from London is too great. The premises are
remote and lonely." Parliament decided that this
enterprise would be useful, but the Customs' officials
claim that they are to decide whether they will incur

TIIE DISIIOPS' RESIGNATION DILL.

The Bishops' Resignation Bill seems likely, as far
as the present generation is concerned, to become a
complete failure. The John Bull announces that
neither the Bishop of Winchester nor the Bishop of
Chichester will take advantage of it, and so it will
probably have no present results at all. Everything
depends upon the will of the bishops, and they are
not disposed to resign. Permissive measures won't
act ; how long before compulsory ones will be
passed?

THE LATE ACCIDENT IN SAXONY.

The Consul-General of the North German Confedera-
tion appeals to British sympathy on behalf of the sufferers
by the late colliery accident in Saxony. Never but once,
even in England, has such a disaster been known. Three
hundred and twenty-one lives have been lost, and nearly
nne thousand women and children reduced to distress.
The progress of civilisation is not an uncbequered triumph.
The discovery of coal-beds in various parts of North Ger-
many are likely to add vastly to the wealth of that
country. But here we have the inevitable accom-
par iment.

THE IRISH CHURCH BODY.

The decision of the Bishops of the Irish Church
refusing to recall the Church Conference is e:iusing
dissatisfaction amongst the supporters of that course.
Grumblings loud and deep are put forth, and by the
more ex.treme and heated partisans threats of
mutiny are uttered. The laymen are thinking
abJut acting independently, and are putting
forth every effort to inducethe Dukes of Abercorn and
Leinster to call and organise a convention of the
laity for the purpose of considering the constitution
of the new Church body. W'hether their lordships
will do as requested is not yet known. But the idea of
division, and such a division, is sufficiently alarming.

COTTON SUPPIX.

The discussion oit the supply of cotton has taken
a somewhat new tutu. " A Merchant" puts forward
the theory that the scarcity of cotton from which
Manchester suffers is owing to the Manchester men
themselves. They will do nothing to advance the
culture of the plant. They will invest their
money in any project but cotton cultivation.
Telegraphs, banks, railways, even tea, coffee, and
sugar plantations, find subscribers in abundance, but
cotton-fields never. The outside world concludes
that the culture of the plant will not pay ; it is
neglected, and hence the impossibility of
getting a cheap supply. The case is very simple.
So long as the South furnished an abundant supply
cotton was cheap, and goods could be turned out at
a saleable price. But that source has now failed,
and it has not been replaced elsewhere. The result
is that raw cotton is now so dear that the manufac-
turers cannot produce their goods at a price low
enough to command a great sale. This is
the cause of the badness of trade in Lan-
cashire. If the Manchester spinners would but
establish a great Lancashire Cotton Company, with
a capital say of £3,000,000 or 4,000,000,. to be
employed in the heart of India, things, in the
opinion of " A Merchant," would soon wear a
different aspect. But so long as manufacturers con-
tent themselves with the Cobden theory that their
sole business is to work up the raw material, the
present disastrous dearness must continue.
Another correspondent, " A Cotton Broker," gives
his opinion that the proposed introduction of the
Chinese into the Southern States affords the only
hope of a cheap supply of raw material. It is still upon
the South of the United States that Manchester must
place its reliance. The negroes are now reduced to
two-thirds of their number before the civil war, and,
moreover, they will not work in freedom as they did
in slavery. The introduction of Chinese may supply
the want of labour; but no otherexpedient offers itself.

PROTECTION.

The movement against Free Trade sustained a
somewhat noteworthy disaster on Friday evening.
" The Revivers of British Industry Association " got
up a large meeting of working men at Deptford.
Speeches were made, and a resolution proposed in
favour of a prohibitive duty. But the working men
were not to be taken in. One of them got up and
submitted a resolution in favour of Free Trade, which
was carried by a large majority.
THE " SPECTATOR " ON THE QUEEN'S SPEECH.
The Spectator gives up Queen's Speeches. The
last one it calls " turgid rubbish," and says that it is
vain to hope that any of these productions will ever
attain even mediocrity. Many of the Ministers are
masters of English ; "Mr. Gladstone is such an orator
that people spell: of the ' tyranny' of his eloquence;
Mr. Bright talks English exquisite in its strength
and cadence; Mr. Lowe's letters are cruel in their
pungency," &c. ; and yet the lot of them put toge-
ther one of the worst Queen's Speeches of the
century—dull, ungrammatical, and bombastic,

LORD PALMERSTON'S DIARY.
The Athenmon announces a most important
literary discovery—one (as it observes) of the plea-
santest that could have been made. A searcher
among Lord Palmerston's papers has discovered
his private diary. We are told that all his contem-
poraries figure in it ; and they are drawn by a bold
and masterly hand. This discovery will, no doubt
(the AMenceum says), be turned to profitable use by
Sir henry Bulwer, who is known to have been for
sonic time occupied with family sanction and assist-
ance on a biography of the late statesman, which
will be published by Mr. Bentley.

COLLIERY ACCIDENTS.
The usual suggestions for amendments follow the
series of colliery disasters which have occurred of
late. The defects pointed out are chiefly want of a
safer means of lighting the collieries, and bAter
ventilation. One correspondent points out that in
many collieries the lamps are of the clumsiest
construction, often out of repair, and though
dangerous, affording no illumination. This
writer suggests- that the light should tic.;
be surrounded altogether with wire gauze.
With a thick glass cylinder round the flame, con-
tinuing upwards with gauze. Thus the temptation to
open the lamp to which the miner is now so subject
would be removed. Dr. D. C. 31Tail recommends
that the mines be illuminated by hermetically
sealed lamps, to which fresh air should be brought
by tubing. The electric spark would furnish the
means of light, and as there would bo no connection
between the air brought to feed the lamp and the
air in the colliery, ‘xplosion would be impossible.
Of course these electric lamps would be hung up in
fixed places.

ELECTION NEWS.

Captain Seymour, the Conservative candidate for
Antrim, has at last addressed a meeting of his sup-
porters. The gathering took place at the Ulster
Hall, Belfast, the body of the building being crammed
with a ragged and ruffianly audience of non-electors.
A short account by telegraph states that the
reporters for the Liberal press were mobbed
and beaten, and the scene, we are told,
"was of a most disgraceful character." Sir
Shafto Adair continues his electioneering tour with
sustained energy, and he is now supported by Mr.
Dalway, M.P. for Carrickfergus, who has warmly
advocated Sir Shafto's interest at several meetings.
This is the more extraordinary, considering that Mr.
Dalway voted against the Government on the Irish
Church question. The Northern Whig states that
several landlords have intimated to their tenants that
they are at liberty to vote as they please. Others,
however, are putting on the pressure of " the office."
The contest, it is exneAed, will be a sharp one.
Several of the prominent county gentlemen of
Caithness have already commenced the canvass for
their respective candidates. Two Liberals arc named
—viz., Mr. James Traill, London, nephew of the
retiring member, and Sir John George Tollemache
Sinclair, of Ulster, a large proprietor in the county,
and son of Sir George Sinclair. There is no ap-
pearance of the Conservatives bringing forward a
candidate, in spite of a split in the Liberal camp.
It is believed that Mr. Traill will be returned.

TILE STE LAND QUESTION.

The " Commiss:oner " sent out by the Times to
investigate the land question in Ireland has arrived
at Tipperary, and commences his special inquiries with
a description of the country on the route from
Dublin and of the town of Tipperary itself. Little
information on the subi,e,2l in hand is to be derived
from these disquisitions ; but it may be as well to
mention that the population of Tipperary decreases
rapidly; it was 7,000 in 1851, 5,900 at the last
census, and is now considerably less. The
country round this town is unrivalled in the British
Isles for fertility, and though years ago the
gifts of nature were little improved by man, great
and beneficial changes have been effected within the
last few years. Then barbarous husbandry and a
savage and degraded population converted this
region into a wilderness; now the scene—though
much, in the opinion of the ~..nraussioner, remains
to be done—is generally one of wealth and pros-
perity-. The appliances of husbandry are mostly
; and the crops, especially the grass, almost
uniformly fine. " Some excellent farmsteads, well-
built and well-slated houses and offices, may be
seen ; those on the beautiful estate of Lord Derby
especially, as well as his admirable labourers'
cottages, seemed to me worthy of particular notice."
The peasantry appeared generally well-fed, not ill-
clad, and of decent appearance. But the external
scene is by no means wholly favourable. Some
farm-houses are very poor, and mud cabins aro still
not unfrequent. Drainage is very defective. On
Earl Derby's lands there is nothing to be complained
of ; but on other properties the drainage could not
well be worse. . . .

The Irishman has been at it again. One of its
articles this week, entitled " The Plague of
Landocracy," says that the landowners of Ireland are
a living sign of foreign conquest. They hold that
which is not theirs. Every acre has been stolen,
and it is unjustly withheld from the Irish people,
who must get rid of the plague. Another article
says, "If you desire freedom, you must be pre-
pared, when opportunity comes, to seize it." A third
effusion exhorts the people to take up arms.

AN AMERICAN " MunnAr."—lf an English Mur-
ray (Grenville) has been exciting the ire of an English
public, an American Murray (parson of Boston) has been
" taking a rise" out of the American public. Mr. Murray
appears to be a gentleman of great literary skill, and he
has attached to the Saranac lakes so strong a tinge of
romance that the furore became general to visit them this
summer. In consequence, a spot, wholly unprepared, be-
came crammed with visitors who poured in till all the
hotels and houses being full, the woods became white
with the tents of camping parties. The stories told about
those devoured by the black flies, and those saved through
the exertions of others filled the papers. The prices of
guides ran up to $5 a day, and everything became enor-
mously expensive. Beds were put up under trees with
no extra charge for mosquito serenades ; as to fishing it
was discovered that there were 30 rods to every trout, and
at night 17 torches to every spear. A "shoddy" party,
husband, wife, and daughter arrived with several large
Saratoga trunks, and on their arrival called for three par-
lour bedrooms, but the house being already full they were
put up in the attic. The next day the young lady was
horrified because " she had to put her foot on the bare
floor, and drink out of a common glass tumbler." She
had never done such a thing in all her life, and would
not stay another day for a thousand dollars ; and so her
papa had to take her home immediately. Travelling
expenses by team, for two days, amounted to $5O, and
their money all gone, the unhappy father was obliged
to get the landlord to cash his check for 6100 ; but the land-
lord allowed he was glad to get rid of them, oven at that
price. Mr. Murray is heartily abuse!, and there is said to
be a fear of his acsassination, although his only fault is
that he wrote with force and effect. One party on their
return registered their names as " Murray fuols."—Anglo-
American Times.
in Detroit, a divorce case is progressing, the
petitioner being the husband of a woman's rights' wcniaa
who has taken a conspicuous part in the movement. Find-
ing his life made miserable as the victim of extensive
cruelty and systematic ill-treatment, on that plea ho ap-
plied for separation, having kept a diary of the events as
they transpired. Ono day he was "mending the bed,"
when "Frances 11. became excited," She threw at hint
"in rapid succession, ' Josephus,' a volume of 'Rollin's
History, the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.' a
three pound iron weight, and a broken bottle." The three
pound weight, the broken bottle, and "Rollin's History"
"mercifully missed" him; but "Josephus," for once-
"struck" him "with great force," and Mr. Silas Wegg
Ihimself would have roared to see him decline and fall off
when the Roman empire crushed him, as it once did the
Scythians and the Gauls. "It weighs ten pounds," said
the complainant, "and struck me iu the side."

work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much
to the advantage and profit of both institutions. It is

711 E 7ICIIBOURNE BARONETCY

Vice• Chancellor James held a court on Saturday
morning at the Black Horse Inn, Shere, near Guildford,
wt which Mr. Richard Sydenham, the printer and
publisher of the Poole Pilot, appeared to chew cause
why he should not be committed for a contempt of
court, in publishing in his newspaper an article vindi-
cating in strong terms the claims of the alleged Sir Roger
Doughty Tichborne (a party to a suit pending in the
court) to the Tichborne title and estates. Mr. Chapman
Barber appeared for the present infant possessor of
the estates, Sir Henry Alfred Tichborne, and having read
the article from the respondent's newspaper, applied that
he should be committed for contempt. Dr. Tristram
appeared for Mr. Sydenham, and put in an affidavit ex-
pressing the deep regret of the respondent at having pub-
lished the article. The learned counsel said that the strong
remarks against the present claimant which had appeared in
other newspapers had led his client to believe that he had
a right to comment on the case. The Vice-Chancellor said
that a gross contempt of court bad been committed, and
at first he was strongly inclined to send the respondent to
prison. The public press had been cautioned by previous
proceedings in the court in this very case that it had no
right to comment upon, or interfere with, a pending suit.
As the respondent had expressed his regret,hewould order
him to pay the costs of the application ; but in all future
cases the full punitive power vested in the court would be
exercised.

LAW AND POLICE.

FATHER IGNATIUS AND HIS MONKS.—At the Maryle-
none Police-court, an extraordinary case was tried on
Wednesday. A youth, named isTobbs, who said he was a
student, was charged with stealing £l5 and with assault.
The prosecutor said he kept a small general shop, but, on
figiheFixaminatiun, explained that he had been one of
Ir*that Igtatines monks, and that the prisoner had also
- been Oiiei—Ttiey had gone about the country together
lecturing, and were now in partnership in the shop. The
prosecutor accused the prisoner of being a renegade,
and of showing him great ingratitude. The prisoner
accused the prosecuor of drinking and throwing
£5 out of the window, so that ho was obliged to take the
money to take care of. The prisoner was remanded for a
week.

MORE THAN. A HUNDRED TIMES IN CESTODY.—A
woman, who has been more than a hundred times in
custody, was charged a day or two since, at 'Westminster,
with being drank and incapalik. She had been brought
up to the same court twice since Christmas. She was
fined 55., and declared that she had not a farthing to pay

LEGISLATING IN FUN.—A few days ago a
despatch was sent to the eastern papers from Chicago,
announcing that the Illinois Hogs:; of Representatives had
pasygl a bill ceding the city of Chicago and the county of
Cook ti., Indiana. There was no intimation that the act
was not a serious one, but it was a joke perpetrated by
the House in mock session. At the same session a bill
was introduced which vested " all political, civil, and
social. power, irrevocably, in the female portion of the

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

THE " OWL."

The Owl has re-issued from the ivy bush in which
it has been hiding for the past six months. The
bird of Minerva is scarcely yet fully awake, and has,
so far, but few words of wisdom to utter. It states
(as we had previously stated) that General Balfour
has got over his difficulty at the War Office, and re-
turned to his post. It gives good news to the clerks
at the Admiralty, who are told that they will
not be dismissed en masse, but will be
reduced by degrees, any vacancies which may occur
being filled up with copyists. Per contra, there is
bad news for M.P.'s. The Easter vacation is to be
cut short because Parliament has met later than
usual. Easter is earlier, an parliamentary business
is urgent. A somewhat mythical secret is communi-
cated ; it is said that when Lord Malmesbury
resigned the leadership of his party in the Lords,
the names of Lord Salisbury and Lord Cairns were
submitted to those with whom the appointment of a
successor rated, and that it was unanimously agreed,
Lord Salisbury himself sharing the opinion, that Lord
Cairns would make the better leader. To us it seems
impossible that Lord Salisbury could have been
suggested. The idea of his working together again,
with Mr. Disraeli is preposterous, or would be so
were it not that Mr. Bright and Mr. Lowe are in the
same Cabinet. With regard to the principal question
of the session, the Owl considers that any direct
negative to Mr. Gladstone's disendowment scheme is
hopeless, intimates that a certain number of
statesmen of both parties will unite to propose a
project which will relieve the Roman Catholics of
Ireland from supporting a Church to which
they do not belong, will maintain, though
in diminished proportions, the Protestant
Church in Ireland in those relations which
now subsist touching the supremacy of the Crown in
all matters ecclesiastical, will continue the representa-
tion of the Irish hierarchy in Parliament, and the
right of every Churchman to have every question
involving doctrine or discipline finally deter-
mined by a tribunal in which the lay element
predominates. It is intimated that Mr. Glad-
stone's scheme for the .constitution of a board to
protect existing life interests will not be opposed ;
and that the right of synodical action conferred by
Lord Westbury's Act of ten years ago upon the
Church in the colonies will be extended to Ireland.
The Owl censures the Irish bishops and clergy for
neither creating a policy for themselves nor con-
curring in any suggested by other persons, and warns
them that the maintenance of their present attitude
of "No Surrender will bring about thaL
destruction.
London, England, 1869-02-18

THE FACTORY ACT.

That portion of the Factory Act making the Satur-
day afternoon and Sunday holiday compulsory, has
created a very large amount of opposition and com-
plaint. Workpeople and masters alike are
grumbling ; the former because, as they say, their
wages have been lowered, the latter on account of
the great inconvenience of shutting up so early when
there are large orders on hand. Mr. Redgrave has
done what he can to oblige the employers by allow-
ing the half-holiday to be given on any other
day than Saturday. Now the Jews want
relief. A day or two back no fewer
than seven cigar manufacturers were brought
before Mr. Benson, at the Thames Police-court,
accused of having employed females and young
persons on Sunday morning. From the statements
of several of the defendants it would appear to be the
custom of such of the cigar manufacturers as
are Jews to employ their workpeople for
a few hours on Sunday mornings instead of
Saturday, the latter day being strictly observed as
their Sabbath. By the new Factory Act all work
on Sunday is made illegal, and the Jews are not
excepted. It is true that manufacturers of this per-
suasion are allowed to employ women and young
persons on Saturday evenings from four till nine, but
in summer this exception will be valueless, as the
Sabbath in that season does not end till after nine
in-the evening. This certainly makes it a question
whether Jews should not be allowed to carry on their
work while the remainder of the nation is at rest.
But the subject is beset with difficulties.

THE PERSIAN DIFFICULTY.

- ---
It seems that Europe is to be annoyed by another
Eastern quarrel. Turkey and Persia are on bad terms,
and are troubling the world by marching troops about.
It was at
.first announced that the Shah had set out
to the scene of "action," but though news from
St. Petersburg contradicts this statement, it is added
that six Turkish battalions with gems have gone
to the frontier. The Nettc Freie Presse of Vienna embel-
lishes this intelligence by asserting that 10,000 Turks are
on the march. This quarrel relates to the boundary line
between the Turkish and Persian dominions. The Per-
sians complain that their neighbours have encouraged
predatory expeditions by Koords and Arabs, and that
several frontier villages have been burned and the inha-
bitants driven out. The difficulty arising from the unset-
tled boundary line between the two countries became so
serious three years ago that England and France inter-
fered to prevent a war. The Turkish Governor of Bagdad,
who was deemed the abettor of these Koord and Arab
incursions, was recalled, but, much to the chagrin of the
Realm.. Mt§ ..499n Idteg _PA&

THAMES.

DARING BURGLARY AND ItonllEux.--John Alger, alias
Kerr, a well-known thief, was brought up on remand be-
fore Mr. Benson, charged with feloniously lleaking and
entering the premises of Thomas Kirkaldy, manufacturer,
Wapping, and stalling 3 cwt. of tallow therefrom. On the
night of the 3d August last the prisoner and another man
named Cumming were observed loitering about Mr. Kir-
kaldy's premises. They could g:ve no satisfatory reason
for being there, and were taken into custody by Slingsby,
394 K ; but Alger made his escape, and was at large until
the 11th inst. The prisoner protested his innocence, but
after several former convictions were proved against him
ho was committed for trial.

RR. HANDEL COSSIIAM AND HIS SUPPORTERS.

'Mr. Handel Cossham, the unslicccslful candidate
at Dewsbury, has: just been the hero of a greater
triumph than if he had won the election. He has
been feasted by his supporters, who, in addition, paid
the whole of his election expenses, £1,058, and pre-
sented him with a salver, and other presents. It was
remarked that Mr. Cossham, though defeated, was in
rather a better position than the elected of a neigh-
bouring borough (Igr. Ripley, of Bradford), who had
spent £lO.OOO in order to be elected, and a few
additional thousands in order to be turned out. Mr.
Cossham, in acknowledging the various presentations,
said he was really more the representative of the
Liberal electors than his successful opponent was,
or ever would be. The conduct of his friends
with regard to the costs of the election had placed
them in a very high place as a constituency. He
hoped it was a position that other constituencies
would be constrained to take. He had never been
sparing of his time or money in political matters,
and he was ready to have borne his full share of the
expenses in the late contest ; but he yet felt that the
course which had been taken was the right one.
When a constituency imposed heavy expenses upon
a candidate, they placed him in a very dangerous
position with regard to their interests. If a man
bought a seat, he would be very apt to sell a con-
stituency.
