LONDM, FRIDAY, FEB. 26, 1869.

The speeches delivered at the banquet
given by the
Associated Chambers of Commerce to Mr. BRIGIIT
will be read with considerable interest. There are
many important commercial measures which not only
concern our manufacturers and traders, but which
affect more or less powerfully the general public. A
meeting which should elicit the views of two states-
men like Sir STAFFORD NORTHCOTE and Mr. BRIGHT
upon such questions could not therefore fail to excite
a lively interest. The value of these Chambers is
becoming more and more widely recognised, and
although there is undoubtedly scope for improvement
in their constitution, and there may be some ground
for Mr. BRIGHT'S remark that they are too apt to
confine themselves to the discussion of secondary
subjects, yet they have done good service in our
generation, and played no unimportant part
in the legislative reforms of the last twenty
years. So fully has their beneficial influence
been recognised, that efforts are now being made to
form agricultural boards of the same character, with
the view of supporting sound principles, dissemi-
nating useful knowledge, and, generally speaking, for-
warding the agricultural interests of the country. The
representation of different opinions, the free and un-
biassed discussion of public questions by those quali-
fied to form an opinion, arethe fundamental principles
on which the whole of our legislation is based, and
these Chambers of Commerce have been not inap-
propriately called commercial Parliaments. Mr.
BRIGHT, the other evening, expressed a wish that we
could give them what has been given to another Par-
liament—a more extended suffrage and a wider repre-
sentation, so as to make them more really represen-
tives of commerce, and their voice more potent in the
offices of Ministers and the Chambers of the Legis-
_
Mr. BRIGHT'S suggestion towards the
attainment of so desirable an end was not un-
worthy of the serious attention of the asso-
ciated Chambers. He remarked that if the great
annual meetings, instead of being held in the metro-
polis at the opening of the Parliamentary Session,
were held in one of the great commercial towns
during the 'recess, their proceedings
attract

ment meut of science and the development of social know-
ledge. The speeches are read with interest, the sub-
jects of the sections discussed, the arguments weighed,

more pressing and
.exeitiag objects to engross their

thoughts and divert their attention. If the autumnal
meetings of these societies were to be transferred to

London in the spring, we apprehend that much
of the eloquence of the addresses would pass
unnoticed, and the wonderful plans by which all
social inequalities :.:.re to be forthwith adjusted would
cv;:n rake a strdle.

Mr. BRIGHT made another suggestion which the
Chambers would dc, well to notice. lle observed

THE WAR IN PARAGUAY.

The latest intelligence from Buenos Ayres states that
Lopez is believed to be concentrating fresh forces in the
interior. It is asserted that the United States is not
disposed to allow Paraguay to fall wholly into the hands
of the Brazilians, and in support of this view it is certain
that the American Minister has accompanied Lopez in
his retreat. Marshal Caxias has given up the command
of the allied army in consequence of dissensions between
the Brazilians and the Argentines.

THE UNITED STATES.

Congress is getting through some very important legisla-
tion. General Schenck's Finance Bill has passed the
House of Representatives by 119 to 61. It provides that
the public debt is payable in gold, unless otherwise speci.
fled, but postpones the payment until the value of green-
backs equals gold. We are curious to receive the debate
on this measure, and especially to learn how Congress
hoped to equalise these two values, and at what date it
expected the resumption of specie payments, which alone
can bring about this devoutly-to-be-wished consummation.
The wretched bill which increases the duty on copper 300
per cent. for the benefit of one small district, has been
passed in the Senate over the President's veto, and is now
law.

EXECUTION OF W.HELAN.

'lie execution of Whelan, the murderer of D'Arcy
11I`Gee, took place at Ottawa, Canada, on. the 11th
inst. At eleven o'clock Whelan was pinioned, and,
accompanied by the sheriff and three priests, led froni
the prison, looking very pale and excited ; but he
moved along with a firm step and mounted the stair.
way to the scaffold, responding as he walked distinctly to
the prayers of the priests. After the "Paternoster" had
been repeated he said, " I beg pardon for any offence I
may have committed. I forgive all parties who have
injured me, I ask forgiveness from any one I mai
have injured. God save Ireland, and God save my soul 1"
In a few moments the drop fell, and Whelan hung by
the neck for four minutes, suffering intensely, andt
then breathed no more. It is rumoured that Whelan left
a written paper in the custody of the sheriff, the purport
of which has not yet been made public. It was believed
at Ottawa on the following morning that an organisation
had been formed for the purpose of rescuing Whelan's
body. Active preparations were made to meet any out.
break. It was rumoured that several seizures of arms had
been made on that day.

A handsome new Independent church, which has
been erected at Halifax, near the residence of Sir F. Crossley,
was on Thursday opened by the Rev. Newman Hall. The
cost of the edifice has been £lO,OOO, and £8,225 has been
already subscribed. The foundation-stone was laid in 186'
by Sir P. Crossley.
Mr. Whalley has given notice that on Tuesday,
the IGth of March, he will move "that it is expedient to in-
clude in the financial arrangements of the Government for
the ensuing year the unconditional repeal of the income
tax ( n trade profits and personal property of all kinds; and
that any deficiency be raised by an increased tax on land

0011EITN—NOTES;
~ , WE HUDSON'S BAY TERRITORY. ' /
, ..
"It Canadian" writes a tolerably exhaustive litteilo
the. Daily News on the disputebetWeen,Canada and the
Hudson's Bay Company. The Canadian Govern Mont
have pot proposed to buy the land Nestle the' compiny
has no *Ater to sell it, and because, in the second place;
it is of Ao commercial value if the company had
full positeE, :, The monopoly of the company was
granted by a charter of Charles U., which con.
stituted Rupert's Land into a British colony, and made
the company the governors of the colony, giving them
"full general powers of government, and of civil and
criminal jurisdiction." But this does not give these
" governors" the right to sell the territory, nor has any
company or governor such a right over a British colony.
The Canadians hold that the governors of the colony of
Rupert's Land have duties and obligations as well me
rights; that these rights are not separable from the
duties, and t'..-&- they must either govern or abdicate.
The represeti.;.tives of the company admit that they
cannot govern V. , country for want of necessary powers.
"A state of tl,:' has grown up not contemplated by their
charter, and '7; . cy will neither eat the hay nor allow
others to eaiit, they must be treated as their elder
il
brother, the Virginia Company, was treated in an age
when proprietary governments were better understood
than now." The commissioners reported in favour of can.
ceiling the charter of this company, which was done. The
Virginia Company had spent much and gained little, hut
it does not appear that they received any indemnity. The
Hudson's Bay Company will retain their stations.
But beyond this, if the company had power to sell,
their territory is of no value. The prime advantage of a,
new colony is that the land should be had for nothing, br
next to nothing. Every pound taken from the colonistfor
the purchase of land diminishes the value of the
territory. It is monstrous that when millions of
acres are lying uncultivated, and thousands of paupers
starving in England, a few dozen traders should
be permitted to keep a country as large as France, Prussia
and Great Britain locked up by an antiquated charter.
If the territory is to be valuable it must be free. The
Canadian Government is prepared to make roads and
canals and give a free homestead to every one who will go
there. But these settlements cannot be given away if the
Canadian people have finttic,pay--fur-theit.--"------ - -' .

TFIE UNITED STATES.

Congress is getting through some very important legisla•
tion. General Schenck's Finance Bill has passed the
House of Representatives by 119 to 61.- It provides that
the public debt is payable in gold, unless otherwise speci-
fied, but postpones the payment until the value of green-
backs equals gold. We are curious to receive the debate
on this measure, and especially to learn how Congress
hoped to equalise these two values, and at what date it
expected the resumption of specie payments, which alone
can bring about this devoutly-to-be-wished consummation.
The wretched bill which increases the duty on copper 300
per cent. for the benefit of one small district, has been
passed in the Senate over the President's veto, and is now
law.

that their father was a prisoner, and the mother was just
discharged from the hospital after an attack of rhuematic
fever, that the mother followed them, and that as soon as
they got a penny they were to give it to her to get some
food with.

Mr. Knox said that he would have the charge further

THE IRISH CHURCH.

The Cabinet has kept its secret about the Irish
Church question so very well that any attempt to
put down rumour as authentic has been frustrated at
the outset. But the Advertiser seems to be very
uneasy as to Mr. Gladstone's intentions. Every little
expression used by a member of the Cabinet is taken
as a dark hint that the Ministry is going to commit
this or that political injustice. If the Chancellor of
the Exchequer talks of Parliament as the trustee
of the Irish Church funds, he means that the
Government propose to level up, and no end of
inferences are drawn from phrases which have long
enough been so familiar as to be the best means of
expression. Our contemporary has now contrived to
alarm itself by the rumour that Mr. Gladstone
intends to postpone his scheme of disendowment till
next year. Cannot the Advertiser wait till Monday ?
It is not very long. And notwithstanding that the
Premier does not hold altogether withthe Advertiser's
theology, notwithstanding that he has praised "Etta
Homo," and writes in Good words, notwithstanding
that he has not praised the licensed vi ;Wailers, he is
hardly such a very bad man that he will break all
his promises and pledges, which, according to the
Advertiser, he is about to do. The Irish Times in its
London correspondence, states absolutely that dis-
endowment is included in the Irish Church Bill, and
is so explicit as to say that the draft bill consists of
from DO to 100 clauses.
The Very Rev. Dean of Waterford writes to the
Morning Post, calling attention to the recent cases
of the "No-surrender " cry which has been raised by
the Irish clergy. When the national educational
system was founded, the same cry was raised,
and those who proposed compromises were
looked upon as traitors then, as now. "Al]
they gained by the principle of 'No surrender'
on this occasion was the establishment 'of the present
system of education by the Earl of Derby, at that

THE CHURCH ASSOCIATION.

The Church Association has just held a large meet-
ing, at which there was a good deal of satisfaction
expressed with reference to the recent Ritual judg-
ment. It was stated that the guarantee fund exceeded
£52,000, and that an action was now pending " to test the
legality of the doctrines held by the sacerdotalists,"
the Bishop of Bath and Wells being prepared to sign
the letters of request to the Court of Arches, against
Mr. Bennett, as soon as they are ready. The secretary
of the association complained that Mr. Mackonochie
and his friends had by " many evasive delays " greatly
increased the costs of the association in the recent
suit against him, those costs having been originally
£6,000. The association had bestowed great labour
and expense on the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill, just
introduced by Lord Shaftesbury, and they also sup-
ported the Vestments Bill and the Uniformity of
Worship Bill, introduced last session. According
to the Standards summary, it was announced that
the association intended to take steps to test
the legality of eucharistic vestments ; but we
find no mention of this in the Standard's report.
Mr. Campbell Colquhoun, the chairman, said he had
received a letter from Dr. Pusey, complaining that
be had been called disloyal to the English Church.
Ur. Colquhoun contended that this was a true charge,
inasmuch as Dr. Pusey wished to bring about a
reconciliation with Rome ; whereas, according to Mr.
Colquhoun's theory, the English Church has no locus
standi except in so far as it protests against Rome.
Since these two gentlemen differ so widely as to the
basis and raison d'etre of the English Church, a con-
troversy between them would be void of result.
