A LARGE ELECTORAL PROGRAMME.

Mr. Labouchere has delivered another speech, in
the course of which he made divers advanced pledges.
He advocates the Ballot, thinks there ought to be
some change in the Game Laws, is in favour of resi-
dential manhood suffrage, would like drunkenness to
be decreased, though he cannot see that the Permis-
sive Bill would do any good, and holds that
" something ought to be done " with the House of
Peers. In a former speech Mr. Labouchere explained
what this something was—the House of Commons
ought to have the power of overruling the Lords by
passing a bill twice, or by pronouncing in favour of
any measure by a two-thirds majority. Mr. Labou-
chere believes that the Church in Wales ought to go,
because a majority of the Welsh are Dissenters; but
the case is different in England. He is not, however,
squeamish on this subject. "If it were shewn to him
that there was a general wish on the part of the
people to do away with the Establishment ho should
vote for disestablishment." Mr. Labouchero will
advocate a general amnesty for the Fenians after the
Land Bill is passed.
mit. SAMUELSON, M.P., ON IRISH LAND.
The able letter which Mr. Samuelson, M.P. for
Banbury, communicated to the Daily News, has been
reprinted in the form of a pamphlet. It deserves pe-
rusal, not only because it is the result of careful
study and personal observation, but likewise from its
advocating a remedy which has now gone out of
favour somewhat—the legalising of the Ulster cus-
tom. Mr. Samuelson would acknowledge tenant-right;
and he thinks that unless the landlord asked for an
increase of rent, or demanded possession of the farm,
the consequences of the change would never be felt
by him. In either of these cases a tenant should
have power to require the purchase of his interest by
the landlord, and it should be valued generally on
the basis of existing rent. The valuers should be
bound by as few rules as possible, but they ought in
every case to give some compensation for disturbance
even where no interest of the tenant appeared to
exist. If the arbitrators did not agree, an umpire
should be chosen.

" Norton's Pills" act as a powerful tonic and gentle ape-
rient; are mild in their operation, sate under any cir-

have been a never-failing Family Friend for upwards of
20 years.

THE CLSDKENWELL EXPLOSI3ti.

The second anniversary of the diabolical attempt
to rescue Colonel Burke from the Clerkenwell lions°
of Correction has been marked by a pleasing cere-
mony. Mr. Willcocks, the churchwarden, presided
over a meeting of the Relief Committee at the Clerk-
enwell Vestry-hall, and congratulated them that by.
the efforts of the press and the .committee
£10,075 was raised and expended in giving
temporary assistance to sufferers, and in
making provision for those permanently injured.
The Relief Committee was formed on the very night
of the outrage, and the efforts of the Rev. R.
Maguire, Vicar of Clerkenwell, and Mr. Paget, the
vestry clerk, who acted as secretary, contributed
materially to its success. As a testimony to their
services, the committee at this second anniversary
presented Mr. Maguire with an engrossed memorial
and a silver salver, and Mr. Paget with a similar
testimonial and £lOO. These testimonials were
raised by special subscriptions.

OFFICIAL BUSINESS HABITS.

An article in the Produce Markets' Review contains
some facts which shew that if there is one branch of
the administration in which the spirit of circumlocu-
tion more especially lurks, it is the Customs' depart-
ment. The expenditure of time and money in this
official region is outrageous. If an English shipper
intends to export, for instance, a small quan-
tity of goods to Australia, his clerks are
obliged to fill up no less than 38 forms
printed at the public expense, before the goods can
be put on board ship. "It will hardly be credited,"
we are told, " that the collective length of the papers
required for a single shipment, however small, is 29
feet 21 inches, and their breadth 28 feet 2 inches."
Every particular respecting the shipment is repeated
in this mass of costly documents some dozens of
times. Mr. Lowe and his colleagues know that round-
about processes are expensive. Hero is work for their
economical enemies; and, if report speaks correctly,
they are about to avail themselves of it.

THE GALE.

The southerly gale blew with great violence on all our
coasts on Monday; but, according to meteorological re-
port, had yesterday veered to west, and moderated gene-
rally. In the South of Ireland, however, it was still blow-
ing hard from the north-west, with showers. Rain has
again been general, but not heavy. The weather is still
nructtled. The sea remains very high in the north-cast,
and rather rough elsewhere. AR coasts were cautioned
yesterday by the department.
Several shipping tthasters are announced. Two men

were drowned off Southwold on Mcnday by the capsizing
of a boat. The brig Ca: lton, of London, from Sunderland
to Caen, foundered off Scarborough. The Inamarino,
bound from Foochowfoo to London, struck on a
line of reefs in the China Sea, and went to pieces. One
boat containing six men from the wreck is missing. The
master and remainder of the crew were saved. Thevessel is
reported to have been laden with tea. The Hordaland,
bound to Queenstown from Bergen, struck on the Has-
borough Sands, and went to pieces. The brig Espoir, and
the ship Bosworth, have both foundered. The passengers
of the latter were rescued by the Douro. Another vessel,
a collier brig, bound from Sunderland to London, foun-
dered near Scarborough.
Telegrams from Edinburgh state that quite a hurricane
has been blowing there from the south-west. On Monday
evening five men in a small lifeboat attempted to reach
the ship Indus, lying in the middle of the stream,
off the quay. After struggling for more than an
hour, the boat filled and turned over, and two of
the men were drowned. The other three, by means of the
oars and swimming, and being driven towards the quay
were picked up completely exhausted. They had been it
the water more than an hour. The names of the mer
drowned were Arnold and Whiffin. They hailed from
London.

EASTERN TURKESTAN.

At the same meeting of the Geographical Society,
high eulogies were paid to Mr. George Hayward,
who has been travelling in Turkestan. The task that
gentleman has accomplished was a most difficult one.
The land he explored is supposed to be closed to travel-
lers. The penalty for a foreigner found committing the
crime of making astronomical observations is death.
Yet Mr. Hayward has gone through Turkestan ; has
surveyed largo tracts of it; has scaled its mountains,
and settled the question of its latitude and longitude.
What ho has discovered and done will probably lead
to a great development of commerce both with Rus-
sia and our own country. He has disclosed how
marvellously the late Alexander von Humboldt was
correct in his theories when he had no means of
testing the facts. The author 'of " Uonnos".has set
down in his map of ContralAsialhe line of the Knott
Snell Mountains, as a distinct chain of hills
from the Himalayas. Mr. Hayward has shown him
to be wonderfully correct. Sir Roderick Murchison,
commenting upon this fact, expressed himself highly,
delighted that his old friends "sagacity "—for WO
hardly know what else to call it—had been proved.
trustworthy. Sir Henry. Ilawlinson thanked the
traveller for helping to dissipate the vague suspicions
which exist in the English mind as to the advance of
Russia upon Tlindoostan.
_ TITE. HEAD-MASTERSIIIP OF RUGBY,

In a long letter to the Times on the head-master-
ship of Rugby School, ono statement is made which
deserves the most serious consideration on the part of
the school trustees. It is stated that twenty
out of the twenty-one assistant-masters have
taken the extreme step of memorialising the
trustees for an inquiry, with a view to the
reconsideration of the appointment. The memorial
has not yet been made public, but its chief
allegation is understood to be that in the contest for
Rugby an unusual employment was made by Mr.
Hayman of testimonials received on former occasions
—unusual, in that express permission for their
re-employment for the Rugby contest had
not been received from their authors, for that
beyond a correct statement of the dates no intimation
was given in respect of what contest (if any) they
were originally written. Now the government
of Rugby School is peculiarly " constitutional.' The
Head Master does not act alone, but calls his assis-
tants together to have their opinion upon any change
of rule, or to decide points of dehcacy. Twenty
masters--men noted for their love of the school, for
their loyalty to Dr. Temple—now break out into in-
subordination. The trustees of the school should not
overlook this most important fact

TILE BIBLE IN AMERICAN SCHOOLS.

An educational religious difficulty has arisen in Cincin-
nati, the subject being the use of the Bible in the public
schools. The Cincinnati Board of Education have prohibited
it, and the question of their right to do so is being
argued before the Superior Cont. Great excite-
ment has been created by the queition, which
has been actively discussed in the local press. The court
room in which the case was opened was crowded, the floor
and galleries being alike thronged, and the interest in-
creased rather than diminished as time went on. The
decision of the court was not expected for two or three
weeks when the argument for the plaintiff was closed at
the beginning of December. In their answer to the peti-
tion for an injunction, the majority of the board do not
deny that religious instruction is necessary to fit children
to be pod citizens, but claim that it is not proper to give
such instruction in tho public schools. The reading of
the Bible is contrary, they affirm, to the conscience
of a large portion of the citizens, who only believe in the
inspiration of the Old Testament, and of the Roman
Catholics. The supporters of the board add that the
Bible-reading in the schools affords a continual excuse to
the Roman clergy for maintaining separate sectarian
schools. The Catholic journals, however, opznly declare
that no such concession will induce their co-religionists to
send their children to the public schools. The general
feeling of the press is very much against the prohibition.

FRAUDS IN NEW ORLEANS.

The American Government is unfortunate just now in
the way of official malpractices. While the great draw-
back frauds at the Now York Custom House are still un-
settled, another investigation is being carried on South-
wanb. Sugar frauds of very great extent have been
discovered in Now Orleans. One case, involving 460 hogs-
heads and 46 tierces of sugar, has been already tried, and
the verdict given in favour of the Government. The
amount of underweight claimed was 88,000 pounds, which
at the minimum rate of duty upon imported sugars, three
cents per pound, amounted to $2,600 in gold. Similar
cases will follow.

EAST LONDON HOSPITAL for CIIILD RE N
The Committee earnestly desire to raise funds which
shall enable them to establish the Hospital in more suit-
able buildings. The premises now occupied are crowded
and inconvenient, causing additional expense from that
circumstance. It is impossible even to purchase on whole-
sale terms many articles of daily consumption from want
of room for stowage, every inch of available space being
occupied. There is a daily demand for more beds, and the
staff of nurses would be able to attend upon more children,
but no more can be admitted 'n the present building.

LONGFORD.

Notwithstanding all the exertions of the priests,
and the appeal made by the Roman Catholic bishop
of the district, the agitation in favour of returning
Mr. Martin for Longford still goes on. Meetings
have just been held both at Longford town and Edge-
worthstown. At the former place two thousand
persons assembled, and the other meeting was like-
wise well attended. At Edgeworthstown, a Roman
Catholic curate seized a g,reen Fenian flag
that was displayed, and dragged it in the
mud ; but the mob bore the affront with good
humour.

STATE OF TRADE.

CARDIFF, 13th.—The movement in the demand
for coal is beginning to extend to all branches of
the trade, tolerably regular employment being
afforded at many of the collieries, and there are now
but few complaints of depression in business. From
the French, Mediterranean, and other foreign mar-
kets favourable advices are being received, and
buyers, although the end of the year is so near, have
not reduced their purchases as usual, which indi-
cates that there is a decided improvement in the
inquiry, and that stocks are considerably reduced.
The exports in November showed an increase of
52,131 tons, as compared with the corresponding
month of last year. House qualities demand an
increasing sale, the fortnight of severe weather hay-
ing added materially to the consumption. The
shipments coastwise last month reached 75,088 tons
as compared with 63,137 tons in November, 1868,
being an increase of nearly 12,000 tons. In the
iron trade about the same degree of vitality is
evinced as reported last week, operations at the
works being characterised by the usual regularity,
and at some of the establishments more hands could
now be employed. The exports during November
were 20,008 tons, of which New York took 852
tons, New Orleans 4,048 tons, Mobile 4,857 tons,
and Galveston 1,000 tons. The sale of tin plates
continues slow.

The Overend and Gurney trial was resumed to-
day, but the interest in the matter with the general public
seems to have died out. The verdict is not expected for
tho next four or five days.
BREAKFAST.— EFPS's COCOA.— GRATEFUL AND COM-
-I'olln:cu.—Thu very agreeable character of this prepata-
tiou has rendered it a general favourite. The Civil Service
Gazette remarks :—" The singular success which Mr.Epps
attained by his homoeopathic preparation of cocoa has
never been surpassed by any experimentalist. By a
thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the
operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful ap-
plication of the fine properties of well selected cocoa, Mr.
Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately
flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doc-
tors' bills." Made simply wit's boiling water or milk.

POLICE IN7 ELLIG ENCE.-71as Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SHAM COMMISSIONAIRES.— Jeremiah M'Crossan, de-
scribed as a messenger, was brought before Mr. TyrwLitt
on a warrant, charged with fraudulently imitating the
dress of a commissionaire, ho not being authorized so
to do.

Sergeant Thomas Gover, 19 C, said that on the 19th of
October last he saw the prisoner in Bond-street, wearing
the uniform authorized by the Commissioner of Police to
be worn by the commissionaires, and having cautioned
him on previous occasions, told him be should report, and
ho did so, and the prisoner was summoned to appear at
that court. Ho did not attend, and a warrant was issued.
He afterwards went to the prisoner's lodgings, and found
he was ill, but he promised to surrender in a few days.
He, however, did not do so, but absconded.
Mr. J. E. Turner, the assistant-adjutant of the corps
said the prisoner was not an authorized commissionaire.
He had been in the corps, but left it 6 mouths ago.
The prisoner—a one-arm man—said he got a suit of
clothes of his own and to earn a livelihood for himself and
wife, and he thought it hard he was not allowed to do so.
Mr. Turner said the prisoner knew he was acting ille-
gally, as he was in court when a man named Crawley was
fined by Mr. Knox for a similar thing.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was distinctly laid down in the
Traffic IlPgulation Act that every person, not being an
authorised commissionairp, who fraudulently put on or
imitates the dress of an authorised cor.imissionaire, shall
for each offence be liable to a penalty of 40s. He should
fine the prisoner Bs. and costs this time, but for the future
the fine would be 40s.

THE CRIMINAL QUESTIOI

In his recent letter to the Times on the subject of
crimin•
als, Mr. Baker observes that those who have
made a life-long study of the question can appreciate
its importance far more than the general public is
likely to do. The case of those men who become
hardened in crime through long practice attracts the
notice of all experienced persons, and it is to be
remembered that few can become skilled in crime
without this practice. In the year 1859 Mr. Baker
took a census of all the boy-thieves in London, and
.
was found that many of them had been frequently
convi▪
cted. They all agreed upon two points—
first, that boy-thieves are always instructed by
boys ; and, secondly, that no boy-thief ever
attains proficiency without from four to eight
imprisonments. The decisive course taken to
check the spread of juvenile delinquency was not
without its effects. Every boy on his first conviction
was subjected to a short imprisonment, and on his
second to a long reformatory sentence, and Middlesex
juvenile crime fell from 41,113 convicts to 1,511 in
six years. Mr. Baker believes that great advantages
would follow upon the adoption of a nearly similar
system with adults. It would be advisable to warn all
offenders that a first conviction will entail a month's
imprisonm a second twelve months, a third seven
years' penal .Lude, and a fourth penal servitude
for life. lie considers that far more justice would be
done by this system than by following the
present plan ; and he forcibly follows up his sugges-
tion by declaring that if the prevention of
crime be an object, it is necessary that those
who are to be deterred should understand the sen-
tence that awaits them. Mr. Baker thinks that
more care should be taken in tracing the antecedents
of the offender, and if inquiries fail to meet the
desired end, the prisoner should be called upon to
shew where he has lived for the last five years.

GENERAL CUST AND COLONEL HAMLEY.
General oust has answered Colonel Hamley's
remonstrance through the columns of the Times.
He denies the charge of personality, and declares
that the strictures in the pamphlet which Colonel
Hamley complained of were directed against the whole
school of writers to which the Colonel belongs, with
the Quarterly reviewer at their head. General Cust
considers that Colonel Hamley supports the theoretical
study of war rather than the practical, and reminds
him of the great Duke's aphorism, that the most useful
teaching for a soldier is to see service. His reason
for circulating his pamphlet at this moment was .to
bring the whole subject before the Crown Commis-
sion now sitting on military education. The general
belongs to the old school, the colonel to the new,
and unluckily each is too conscious of the merits of
his own plan to perceive any merit in the other.
