LETTER FROM THE IRISH CILIEF SECRETARY.

In another column a description is given of the
scene at the tenant-right meeting at Dunkalk.
To that meeting the Chief Secretary for Ireland was
invited. Of course he could not attend ; but he wrote
a letter excusing himself. Mr. Chichester Fortescue
declared that the subject (as everybody knows) was en-
gaging his earnest attention ; still, neither as member
for Louth nor as member of the Government, could he
take part in a public discussion at such a meeting.
He added, however, " You will allow ins to say that
the satisfactory and speedy settlement of the question
can only be accomplished under the guidance of the
spirit of equality and moderation, which is perfectly
consistent with courageous and effective

RE-APPEARANCE OF A NOTED PERFORMEIL.

Far some little time the people of this country
have been subjected to a deprivation. The voice of
Mr. G. 11. Moore, M.P., has been hushed. That
gentleman feels convinced, however, that the country
cannot bear it any longer, and he has therefore
consented, for the good of the public, to re-appear
once more. lie writes a letter to the Tunes
7,11 the Irish question. But after careful considera-
tion of this performance, there is no helping the con-
clusion that Mr. Moore is not the man he was. In
this letter there is none of the spirit which charac-
terised the speeches at the fixity of tenure and
amnesty meetings. Mr. Moore is now comparatively
moderate. lle gives an account of his own share in
recent legislation, how he gave the English Govern-
tient every chance to do justice to Ireland, how he
sought to conciliate, how he lost popularity in his own
country by
Corpus voting for the suspension of the Habeas
Act
and other measures of repression,
and finally how British ion•ejudice and perverseness
have ruined everything. There can now be no hope of
conciliating Ireland. The people are irrevocably
alienated. "Imperial legislation stands self-condemned ;
nothing will satisfy the people of Ireland but self-
government." This is Mr. Moore's deliberate con-
clusion, and in his opinion the Tipperary election is
but a. foreshadowing of • the inevitable end—the re-
establishment of a separate Irish lagislature.

TILE IRISH CRURCII AND THE TIIIRTY-NINE
ARTICLES.

It is difficult to understand the announcement that
41 the revisi.m of the Thirty-nine Articles, as pub-
lished in 1563, and so modifying their provisions as
to embrace Protestant Dissenters, especially Presby-
terians," is under discussion in the Irish Church. Who
is debating the matter ? There have been no public
considerations of the question ; the Bishops have given
no sign on the subject; neither clergy nor laity have
spoken out with any great voice upon the point.
Moreover, the tendency of all the public meetings,
the conferences, the congresses, the conventions, has
been to let the Articles stand as they are at present.
Nevertheless it is confidently stated that " high
ecclesiastical authorities" have been_consulted on the

WHO SHALL BE LEADER

The rumour that Lord Cairns holds Liberal
opinions on the land question gathers strength ; and
not only so, but it now declares the same of Mr. Disraeli.
The great Conservative leader is stated to be con-
templating a grand coup for next session. As
on previous occasions he will not please
the straightest Conservatives ; he will probably
appal the most extreme of his party ; but his views
will, when enunciated, do much to facilitate the
passage of a sound measure. So says the usually
well-informed London correspondent of the Scotsman.
If he be correct, and if it be true that the
Marquis of Salisbury contemplates simple resistance
to any alteration of the land laws, it becomes
improbable, to the verge of the impossible,
that the two who disagree so greatly should walk
together in leading the same party. The Daily News
—though its opinion will have very little weight
with those whom it advises—counsels the Con-
servatives to avoid Lord Salisbury of all men ;
for to carry out his self-denying, holding-aloof
policy would be destructive. The Earl of Derby,
en the other hand, is said to be personally adverse to
taking the lead ; he likes cool, calm, retirement better
than being in the heat of party conflict ; he wishes
to be unfettered in his judgment, and somewhat inde-
pendent in his position. Personally the Marquis of
Salisbury, more than Lord Derby, requires the
steadying influence of responsibility.

SUCKING CRIMINALS.

The metropolitan police have just disturbed a re-
markably promising nest of youths. For some time past,
it appears, a gang of some twenty lads, mostly about
15 years of age, have been in the habit of holding a
sort of Crusoe encampment under an enclosed arch
of the North London Railway. As robberies in the
neighbourhood of Dalston, where the rendezvous
was situated, have been very frequent of
late, a watch was set, and the nest was
discovered. A day or two ago fourteen
of these lads, together with a few others who have
not yet been apprehended, were found seated around
two fireg. Fragments of pigeons, fowls, and every
description of poultry were lying about ; cooking of
some kind had been going on, and the prisoners had
evidently just taken a good meal. A pigeon's wing
was found on the floor, and this was identified as
having belonged to a bird which had been stolen.
The police captured nearly the whole gang. A month's
imprisonment, and in one instance three months,
has been the reward of this imitation of Dick Turpin
and other notorieties. The case is another instance
of the baneful effects of that species of cheap litera-
ture which has for its mission the ennobling of crime.
The youthful band seem to have prosecuted
their work with great success. One day they
stole loaves of bread from a baker, another
day they varied their fare by a feast of oranges and
chestnuts, and birds of different kinds were plentiful.
It is not stated whether the heroes ever condescended
to eat beef.

THE QUEEN'S SCHOOL.

The Queen has a school in Windsor Park, at which
about 120 children of persons employed by hex
Majesty receive a free education. Thirty boys, and
as many girls, selected for their good conduct;
are provided with dinner every school-day, and
temporary or permanent exclusion from the meal is
the punishment generally awarded to misconduct.
Twelve boys and as many girls under seven years of
age are admitted without the privilege of dinner, to
be prepared for subsequent full admission. The boys
learn outdoor work in a large garden ; the girls are
taught washing, baking, cooking, needlework, and
knitting. In short, her Majesty's school is just what
every establishment of the kind ought to be—minus,
of course, the dinner.

THE AMERICAN COTTON CROP.

The labour question seems still to be the great difficulty
respecting the American cotton crop. The New Orlean
Picayune, in writing on the subject, says there is probabl;
cotton growing sufficient to make three millions of bales
but the question is, can it be picked and sent to market
Cotton pickers calculate that it requires one hand to pick
four bales, aud, therefore, it would take 750,000 labourer,
fOr 3,000,000 hales. There are not so many field hands in
the South, even including those required for the
cultivation of sugar, rice, tobacco, and corn. Witb
more labour the South could supply the world with cotton,
and efforts are being made to encourage emigration.
Next season it is intended to try cultivating the cotton
fields with Chinese labourers, and if the attempt should
be successful, the production of Southern cotton will be
largely iucreased.

The directors draw special attention to the fact that the
next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year
1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales prior
to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate
in the same.

The directors also draw attention to the successful esta-
blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire
Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc-
tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to
work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much
to the advantage and profit of both institutions. It is
scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and
constitution of each office are quito separate and distinct.

THE CIIURCII IN 'WALES.

At a meeting of his constituents held at Wrexham
on Mon day night, Mr. Watk in Williams, M.P., entered
fully into an explanation of his reasons for giving
notice in the House of Commons of a motion to
disestablish and disendow the Church in Wales.
He also announced his willingness to concur in any
course of action on the question which a conference
of leading Liberals might decide to adopt. Votes of
confidence in Mr. Williams, and thanks to him for
his parliamentary services, were passed.

A CONSOLATION TESTIMONIALS

The custom of presenting consolation testimonials
to defeated candidates is becoming very common.
The latest recipient of this bounty of the minority is
Vice-Admiral Elliot, who represented Conservatism
at the last Chatham election, and was defeated by
Mr. Otway. In consideration of his gallant fight the
working men of the borough (that is to say those
connected with the local Working Men's Associa-
tit'n) have presented him with " a nussive claret jug
and two goblets, all of silver, beautifully chased and
gilt:
O.f course the occasion afforded opportunity for
speecinfying; and everybody who spoke was con-
vinced that the last election wasnot won f tirly by the
.Liberals ; that the tide of opinion had turned,
and
if now polled the working class would be Conserva-
tive to a man.
