THE AMERICAN POSTAL CONTRACT.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
hon. gentleman the member for Liverpool asked him whe-
ther a contract with Mr. Inman for a service from Queens-
town to New York, ou Friday instead of Thursday, on
terms in other respects identical with the contract now
before the house, had been sanctioned by the present
Board of Treasury, and he must answer that question
in the negative. The contract he spoke of the other
night, mane by the Duke of Montrose on the llth Dec., and
which btill awaited the sanction of the House of Commons,
was the only contract he knew of, and if it received the
approval of Parliament the Government would at once
proceed to its completion. With the exception of the
change of day from Thursday to Friday Mr. Inman does
stipulate that the other conditions of his contract should
be the same as that already entered into with the Duke of
Montrose.

It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in
addition to this, the average number of attendance of the
destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be-
tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly.

BANKRUPTCY.

The ATTOEINEY-GENERAL said he regretted that
the Bankruptcy Bill was net yet in the hands of hon.

pressed just now, and that added to a desire to make the

JUDGE PAYNE AGAIN.

Yesterday a youth, named Price, was ind;cted
at the Middlesex Sessions for stealing a gold chain worth
£3, the property of Emma Cook, from her person, and he
was further charged with attempting to steal a gold
chain, the property of Lydia Bunker, from her person.
The jury found a verdict of not guilty. Mr. Payne:
Not guilty, gentlemen ! Well, after that verdict there
will be no protection for the public. If you believe the
prosecutrix, why, the prisoner is guilty. She swears posi-
tively to him, and swears she had seen him before.
The Foreman : We were not satisfied with the
identity, my lord. Mr. Payne : Then the verdict must be
recorded, and the police will still go on watching for those
persons who commit these street robberies. Let the pro-
secutrix stand up again. Mrs. Emma Cook again swore
positively to the prisoner. A Juryman : Ladies always
are, my lord. (Laughter.) Mr. Payne (to the prosecu-
trix) : I must say you have endeavoured to do your duty
to the public ; and I order you to receive a reward of 30s.

THREATENING A MASTER BUILDER.

The Western Daily Press of Bristol says a threatening
letter was a f w days ago forwarded by post to Mr. W.
Banner, builder, of Cathay, The envelope bears the Red-
cliff postmark, and the letter was evidently written by a
man whose education is not of the highest order. The
following is an exact copy of the letter :—" Bristol, Feb.
25, 1869. Mr. Banner Sir lam given to understand
that your men is making over time that I Consider
Shameful and so maney out of employ You as a Christian
man ought to know and feel for a Felow work man Mr.
Banner Dont be surprised if you Should find yer place

you as you are doing keeping the Bread out of
mens mouth you have known and have been
out of a job do by another as you Should like to
be done unto that is not lit yur men make over time put on
more men.—humanity." At a meeting of eight masters and
eight operative carpenters, which was held some few days
since in connection with the formation of the proposed
Court of Arbitration, the letter above quoted, was read to
the delegates representing the various lodges of carpenters
and joiners in Bristol, all of whom expressed their disap-
probation and disgust at such a letter having been sent to
Mr. Banner, and promised to bring the matter before the
various lodges.

On Wednesday, after a long discussion, the Bolton
Town Council decided by 17 to 14, to allow refreshments to
be sold on Sundays, except from 10.30 t 0.12.30 a.m. in the
pavilion in the park. Last year the Mayor gave the casting
vote against this course, and the result has been that the
pavilion has hitherto been unoccupied.

NEWS MANUFACTURE.

The Pole, named Dunin, who has just been turned
out of Roumania for promulgating false news, was under
French protection, though not a French subject. Hence
a small difficulty has arisen between the French Consul
and the Roumanian Government. Dunin had sent to a
Cracow journal a despatch, couched in these terms
" The pretended Mazzinian proclamations distributed in
the country, have a Russian origin. In spite of the
arrangement of the Greco-Turkish difficulty, tho
Bulgarians and Greeks continue to agitate. The
Romanul has made a violent attack upon the
Ministry. Dangerous electoral agitations are on
foot." All this was untrue. Dunin was brought before
the -Minister of the Interior, who severely reprimanded
him, and gave him three days to get out of the country.
Dunin appealed to the Consul, who argued that as Rou-
mania was semi-dependent en the Porte, the consular
capitulations in force in Turkey held good in Roumania.
Dunin, however, was marched to the frontier between
two soldiers, Ife was rightly served. The French
Consul might have respected the spirit as well as the
letter of justice, for expulsion is mild punishment for an
offence which might cause considerable injury to com•
merce.

SIR EMERSON TENNENT.

The circumstances connected with the death of
Sir Emerson Tennent are very curious. At the
inquest, held on Wednesday, his son told the jury
that a few days ago the deceased had remarked
that if a man were taken ill in the street
the best thing he could do was to knock at
a door and inquire for apartments. This was the
course he actually took when he was seized with the
fatal attack. This is getting shelter on false pre-
tences, and may cause serious inconvenience to those
whose house is invaded. The jury returned a verdict
of death from apoplexy;
THE ACCIDENT TO LORD WILTON.

---
The list of killed and wounded in the hunting-
field during the present season would make up a list
as long as that of many a battle-field. The most
expert riders have fallen victims no less than the
" duffers." Sir John Johnstone and Sir Charles
Slingsby were most accomplished sportsmen, and
they are both dead. The Earl of Wilton is another
noted Nimrod, and he has just come to grief with a
fractured wrist and fractured ribs. Ilis lordship is
rather old for this fort of thing. 'lie is in his 70th
year.

TEE NEW COLONIAL ORDER.
.

---
The Order of St. Michael and St. George which
was, during the Ministry of the Duke of Bucking-
ham, extended toinstituted
April the colonies, wasnstituted
April 27, 1818, for natives of the lonian Islands,
Malta, and "for such other subjects of his
Majesty as may
hold high and confiden-
tial situations in the Mediterranean." In 1832
the Order was made to consist of 15 Knights
Grand Cross, exclusive of the Grand Master, 20
Knights Commanders and
of the Order had precedency
after 25 Cavalieri,recedency
or Com-
panions. The member
after the members of the Bath, and the Lord High
Commissioner of the lonian Islands had precedency
'
over ail the other Knights Grand Cross. In the year
1865 the Order consisted of the Grand Master (the
Duke of Cambridge), 14 Knights Grand Cross,
including Sir Alexander Woodford, Sir John Young,
Sir 11. Storks, Sir Gaspard LeMarchant, and Sir George
Bowen ; 20 Knights Commanders, and 25 Com-
panions. Of the whole sixty members rather less
than a half were of English birth. The Saxon blue
and red-striped ribbon was never very highly prized ;
but now that it has been extended to all the colonies,
and now that it is worn by such men as Lord Derby,
who helped to pass the Act for the abolition of
slavery ; Lord Grey, who gave our Australian
colonies self-government; and Lord Russell, who
did the same office for our North-American colonies,
it will be valued at least as much as—we hope more
than—the sky-blue ribbon of the Star of India.

probably prove even more than this. The Finance
Minister hopes to get a small surplus next year,
but if so it will be due to the imposi-
tion of an income tax which should bring
him in £900,000. The telegram does not
explain how far the deficit has been due to
the money expended on public works. This money
no one will grudge, provided only that it be spent
on reproductive works. Hitherto most of it
has been sunk in gaols and barracks, which may be
necessary, but are not profitable, investments. Here-
after a large sum is to be spent on irrigation, the
one thing above all others that India needs.

EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the

is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-

pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.

THE FUNERAL OF LORD GOUGH.

It was said by one of the wisest of the ancients
that funerals were rather for gratifying the pride of
the living than for honouring the memory of the
dead. The funeral of Lord Gough was, we suspect,
no exception to the rule. The dead soldier would
scarcely have wished the committal of his body
to the ground to have been accompanied with
ostentatious memorials of his victories over
those bravest of brave foes, and subsequently
stanchest of stanch allies—the Sikhs. It must have
been Lord Gough's relatives who dragged out the
guns taken at Chillianwallah (that victory only one
degree less disastrous than a defeat) ; it was by the
wish of the survivors, surely, that all the Orders and
swords and medals belonging to the departed veteran
were arranged with pompous display in the room
where lay the dead body that was about to be given
to the worms. •
THE BISHOP OF CARLISLE.

Bishop Waldegrave is so seriously out of health

RUSSIAN LOANS.

There is always a limit to the capacity of States for bor-

force of this truth. The new Russian Railway Loan is
not doing well, nor is it likely to prosper, unless the Czar's
Go~rnment will make an explicit declaration that

no further issues Shalt be mace untie a reason-
able space of time has elapsed. During the
last three years twentymillions of railway bonds, guaran-

always been good, owing to her strict honesty, but there

SIR EMERSON TENNENT.

The circumstances connected with the death of
S.
Emerson Tennent are very curious. At the
Inquest, held on -Wednesday, his son told the jury
that a few days ago the deceased had remarked
that if a man were taken ill in the street
the best thing he could do was to knock at
a door and inquire for apartments. This was the
course he actually took when he was seized with the
fatal attack. This is getting shelter on false pre-
tences, and may cause serious inconvenience to those
whose house is invaded. The jury returned a verdict
of death from apoplexy.

LORD STANLEY ON PERSONAL REPRESENTATION.

Lord Stanley, the Conservative son of the most
Tory of peers, on Wednesday last presided over a
meeting called by the Juridical Society to discuss
the theory of representation. If the truth could be
told, Lord Stanley would probably be classed, if not
amongst Mr. Ilare's supporters, amongst the most
advanced reformers of our electoral system. His
speech clearly sheaved that he was by no
means satisfied with the present electoral system.
Mr. Droop proposed single voting as a cure for the
present inequalities. Lle would divide the country
into districts, give each district five members, and
each elector one vote. Mr. Hare's plan was pretty
generally objected to on the ground that it was too
elaborate; and the advisability of all such arrange-
ments was called in question on the ground that
they would give room for wire pulling. Lord
Stanley, however, did not go so far. Ile spoke,-
for obvious reasons, under reserve, and tried to shew
that the present system was not so bad as it seemed.
He pointed out that if in one place a party could not
get represented, it could be through another ; and as
for great thinkers not being returned, he objected
that great thinkers were not, as a rule, those with
whom the body of electors sympathised, and there-
fore they were not representatives. Thera was no
agreement, either, amongst those who advocate
change. Still, said his lordship, there are anomalies
i▪ n our present system,
abuses which the single voting
plan would remedy, though that way of representing
the minority had many disadvantages. His lordship,
i▪ n concluding, pointed out that the minority plan
had not yet really been adopted by
the country.

REACTION IN SPAIN.

The refusal of the Government to grant a general amnesty,
that is, a pardon which should include the supporters of
Isabella and all other political offenders, on the ground
that the reactionary party was still busy, seems to be not
unfounded. The semi-official papers of Madrid say that
Queen Isabella has just withdrawn a million sterling from
the Bank of England, and, of course, this is to be devoted
to agitation. The frontier near Bayonne is "swarming"
with partisans, who are concentrated in great force at one
very strong point. No doubt agitation of some liind is
going on, and it would be probably imprudent to despise
it. But it is very doubtful whether the danger of
releasing a few wic.,:hes who are lingering in dungeons
would not be more than compensated by the good effect
which always attends an act of clemency. It is note-
worthy that at the division on the amnesty the minority
mustered ninety-four, thirty of the Monarchists having
gone over to the Republicans.

THE NEW SPANISH CONSTITUTION.

Notwithstanding all adverse reports, and the resignation
of three of their number, the commissioners appointed to
draw up a draft Constitution are rapidly proceeding with
their work. The Independance Beige states that all the
leading principles have been decided upon, excepting only
the religious questions. Upon this subject they have taken
a course which amazes the Belgian journal. It was con-
fidently presumed, it says, that after the revolution, the
pretended National Church, which had been the chief instru-
ment of tyranny, was irrevocably doomed. The commission,
however, has entered into negotiations with the Cardinal
Archbishop of Santiago and the Bishop of Jaen, both of
whom are members of the Cortes, with the view of settling
the future position of the Church. This does not look like
disestablishment, or freedom of worship, or spiritual liberty
in anyway.
