CONSOLS DIVIDENDS.

Mr. Lowe's measure for facilitating the payment
of dividends on the public stocks has been consum-
mated by the issue of the Act. This law prescribes
that the Bank of England, with the consent of the
Treasury, may send warrants through the post,
instead of compelling the fundholder to apply for his
due in person by agent. These warrants, however,
will be sent only to. those persons who apply for
them. Dividends on stock falling chic on the 10th
October are to become due on the sth October.

DIMING WITH DILIGENCE.

The Emperor of the French has the good sense to
make himself personally acquainted with all the
details of military work. A few days since he gave
an audience to M. Ilenri, and for twc, hours was
engaged in examining his rifle. The weapon was
taken to pieces in his presence, and every part care-
fully investigated. This activity must be produc-
tive of great advantage to the nation, which is saved
from many a costly job by the industry and pene-
tration of the Emperor.

TILE EMIGRATION OF WOMEN.

One of the Marylebone guardians has been em-
ploying himself to much better purpose than his
brethren of St. Pancras. He has been investigating
the question of emigration, and he comes to
the conclusion—not exactly a new one—that
a large saving would be effected by defray-
jug the emigration expenses of destitute young
women—not after they were pauperised, but
just as they were falling into dependence on the
workhouse, or worse. There are now hundreds of
able-bodied pauper women earning a shilling a day
at oakum-picking. When the rope supplied to them
is old the work is unhealthy and exceedingly disagree-
able; when the rope is new the loss to the ratepayers
is something like tenpence in the shilling. This
guardian recommends a national rate to send these
young women out to the colonies while they. are yet
respectable. " The ratepayers would soon save
double the amount by reduced local taxation."

WRI:PE ARE TEE POLICE ?

We have on several occasions drawn attention to
the Bunkeld Bridge riots. Last year a succession of
disturbances was allowed to take place without inter-
ference until the mobs became very serious. The
toll-gate on the bridge was destroyed continually by
mobs, which got larger as bar after bar was put up
and demolished. This year when some half-a-dozen
men begun the same proceedings, it was remarked
that the authorities again remained quiescent.
They at last, however, charged the leader of
the riots with violence. He contested the law
on the question, and was defeated. Yet no steps
have been taken to preserve the bridge against attack.
As a matter of course, the mob has again assembled,
grown by excitement into a formidable mass of some
5,000 persons, and the toll-bar has again been
destroyed. Do the justices of Bunkeld understand
that their office is to make the law obeyed ? Do
they know that if the mob's idea of justice he
allowed to stand against tin law in one c •se, a most
dangerous precedent is establshcd, under which
authority is altogether imperilled.

THE ST. PANCItAS GUARDIANS.

The parochial muddle in the parish of St. Pancras
becomes more and more hopeless. The quarrel
respecting the workhouse master has been disposed
of, for, upon the guardians unjustly attempt-
ing to deprive this official of his post,
their power to interfere with the appoint-
ment was taken away by the Poor-law Board.
But the old quarrel about the new infirmary still
rages. The former board decided that the accom-
modation at the old infirmary was wretchedly bad,
and proceeded to erect a new one; but the majority
of their successors are of opinion that the arrange-
ments at the workhouse are amply sufficient. The
medical men connected with the parish are con-
stantly complaining that there is not room in
the workhouse infirmary for the sick who
need attention ; the hostile guardians retort that the
doctors are working together to prove that the new
establishment is necessary. If they got to llighgate
" these medical officers would be lords of all they
surveyed." A few of the guardians side with the
professional authorities ; but they are denounced as
"conspirators taking part in the dirty scheme." That
good parochial management will be secured under
this board seems hopeless enough ; but the need of a
new infirmary may soon be settled. The Poor-law
Board has sent an officer to investigate the whole
case. Surely the guardians would have lost nothing,
whilst they would hive gained much in dignity by
waiting until the inquiry was completed. This they
resolved to do on Monday, after weeks of the rudest
interchange of abuse.

VACCINATION.

Martyrs are arising on behalf of tilt anti-vaccina-
tion cause. A whiting manufacturer has been sum-
moned before the magistrates of Dartford for refusing
to allow his infant child to be vaccinated. He main-
tained his refusal in court, sternly maintaining that
" he had no faith " in vaccination as a preventative
against smallpox, and that the operation brought on
various diseases. The magistrates enforced the
penalty of twenty shillings and costs, the obstinate
man of whiting repeating his protests as he left the
court. The crusade against compulsory vaccination'
is supported by a regular organisation. The secre-
tary of the Anti-Compulsory Vaccination League
was present in court to " watch " this case, as also
was a medical practitioner.

THE ORNAMENTATION OF OUR LINES OF RAILWAY.

The Daily News puts in a word for the utilisation
of the space now lying useless by the side of our
railway lines. Our contemporary proposes the plant-
ing of fruit trees, or, at any rate, of some kind of
trees, in the borders now bare and unpleasant to
behold. The suggestion is not a bad one, if it can
be carried out in those parts where now a dismal
prospect greets the eye. Most travellers, however,
will protest against its universal application. There
can be no objection to the companies making their
land profitable, but they must not take away
the only pleasure railway travelling possesses.
TO have a monotonous line of trees passing by the
eye would make a long journey a very purgatory;
a punishment made doubly cruel by the knowledge
that hidden from view are most delightful land-
scapes. But many strips of land might be made to
yield money and give joy without hiding the country
round.

FOREIGN NOTES.

TUE snocmo MURDER or A COUNTESS IN ITALY.

The remarkable tragedy, which ended in the murder of
the Countess Armanda Cottaneo in a railway carriage, has
already been narrated in these columns. We are now
informed that Carlo Negri, the supposed murderer, has
confirmed the suspicion of his guilt, and at the same time
put an end to further inquiry by committing suicide. It
appears that he was seen to enter a small inn at St. Maria
di Capua, where he gave his name as Carlo Bianchi. His
dress was in disorder, his face pale, and he had lost his
bat. He ordered an ice, and then shut himself up in a
room, from the window of which he threw himself into
the street. and was taken up dead.

COTTON SUPPLY.

The controversy touching the supply of cotton is
still kept up with undiminished spirit. Amongst the
latest contribution to the extensive literature of this
subject is a noteworthy letter in the Times, pointing
out that the competition of other countries is one
cause of the increased price of cotton and of the
decline in the Lancashire trade. Previously to
the American war a community of interest between
the Southern planter and the Lancashire manufac-
turers gave the latter a monopoly in the markets of
the world. But this exclusiveness is now at an end :

"Even before the American war there were causes in
operation gradually but surely tending to alienate this
monopoly. Before the war the number of cotton factories
in America itself was steadily on the increase, and I
believe that in the comparative sparseness of its popula-
tion to the country occupied rests the sole reason why that
country did not previously compete successfully with Eng-
land for the monopoly in cotton fabrics."

Henceforth, this writer says, the production of
cotton in America can never be what it was before
the war, and the full supply now available will be
taken up by America herself. The .21rew York Herald,
however, holds a different opinion. In a recent
article it expressed the opinion that the growth of
cotton in the South would soon equal, if not surpass,
the supply before the war, and that England would
command most of it.

PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 25f. 1710. per Ll sternly.
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
.£.2 res. 100. per ounce for standard. gold, it appears that
gold at the above price is the same in London and Paris.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 6:1
days' sight was on the 16th inst. 109; per cent. At this rate thero
is no profit on the importation of gold from the United States.

DR. CUMMING AND THE GENERAL COUNCIL.

Dr. Cumming, feeling, like many greater men,
that the forthcoming (Ecumenical Council is likely to
mark an important era in the history of Christianity,
has taken great pains to ascertain the precise nature
of the plan contemplated by the Pope and his pre-
lates. His Holiness, it will be remembered, does
not wish the Council to be exclusively Roman
Catholic ; he has extended the invitation to all
Christians, from the Archbishop of Canterbury to the
humblest Dissenter. None of these have exhibited
any disposition to attend at St. Peter's next
December, and Dr. Cumming resolved to represent
Protestantism himself. He accordingly accepted the
invitation, but th iught it well to learn on what
terms the " heretics" would be admitted, and for that
purpos3 applied to Archbishop Manning. The latter
replied courteously, but was unable to give any
information as to whether Prot, stants would be
allowed to speak—to state why they hold aloof from
Rome, and what concessions would be required in
order to bring about a union. However, the Arch-
bishop sent two of his wor,s4 which the Doctor
examined, and found—nothing indeed about the
right of Protestants to speak at the Council—but a
very definite assertion of tl:e infallibility of the
Council. Looking further into the archbishop's
books ho saw that no heretic will be heard at a
Gen iral Council unless he make certain acknowledg-
ments—in fact, he now gamed precisely the informa-
tion the Archbishop could not give him. In orde.
to get over this obstacle' Dr. Cumming has written
to the Pope for permission to speak, and he now
awaits a reply. Should he obtain it, he will.
appear in a new character. He formerly prophesied
the final downfall of the Papal power at a date
which, needless to sty, is now p ist. Now lie will
endeavour to prevent that downfall by bringing the
prelates to a sense of the error of their ways.

ELECTION Nrws.

Another vacancy has occurred in the louse of
Commons. Mr. Charles Moore, M.P. for Tipperary,
died on Monday. The deceased representative was 65
years of age, and first took his seat in 1865. Mr.
Moore was a Liberal, in favour of tenant-right
and of the Irish educational system being placed on
a footing of perfect religious equality.
Sir John G. Tollemache Sinclair has finally
announced his intention of contesting Caithness
against Mr. Traill. Sir John is rather late in the
field for a county election, and it is said that the
whole proprietar7 influence in the county will go
against him. But at Thurso, the chief town of the
county, the Sinclair family are very popular, and
there the new candidate will meet with substantial
support.

P.EARFUL OCCURRENCE ON VIE GREAT
NO.RTHERN .RAILWAY.

between eleven and twelve o'clock on Monday night a
Pilaus collision took place on the Great Northern Rail-
way at Barnet, whereby one life has already been sacrificed,
and several persons have been severely injured. The
train, which leaves King's-cross at eleven o'clock for
Barnet, had reached its destination, and had been
shunted, as was supposed, from the down to the 'Tale, to re-
turn to London. Instead of this, however, it seems that
the train was actually returning on the same line by
which it came, and on entering the Whetstone tunnel it
came into collision with a goods train, when a fearful
scene ensued. The driver of the goods train jumped from
the engine just in time to save his life, but the stoker, in a
simikr attempt, was seriously contused. The driver and
stoker of the passenger train were found lying on
the embankment, suffering from severe injuries, and
were promptly removed to the Royal Free Hos-
pital. But the most melancholy part of the story
retaa;ns to be told. In the guard's van nearest
the engine was the gas tank, and when the collision occurred
the tank blew up, and the whole train was set on fire. The
guard, who was in the van, had not time to escape, and was
burnt to a cinder. The other guard in the rear of the train,
in try ing to escape, was much injured, and had to be removed
to thn hospital. Several carriages in the passenger train were
oonavletely destroyed by fire and the force of the shock,
and six or seven of the trucks in the goods train were
smashed to pieces. The traffic on the line was altogether
suspended. It is believed that the accident was caused by
the carelessness of some of the officials, two of whom have
already been suspended.

SWISS CONGRESSES.

The Central Committee of the League of Peace and
Liberty has just published the programme of the annual
Congress to be held at Lausanne next month. The
Russian and French communists have left the asso-
ciation, and the programme is less extravagant than
that of last year. The league proposes to create
a Confederate Republic among the peoples of Europe, in
imitation of Ameri:a, and they propose now to attain this
end by legal and orderly means, by public discussion,
congresses, &c. The League wishes to abolish standing
armies, to separate Church and State, to give women civil
and political equality, and to develop the rights of labour.
All these subjects are to be discussed at the ensuing

THE (MANGE DEMONSTRATION.

In point of numbers and good order the Orange
Demonstration at Hilton Park, Clones, was a suc-
cess. From 20,000 to 30,000 persons were present.
The Party Processions Act, to protest against which
the assemblage was in part convened, received, how-
ever, very little respect. Large bodies of Orange-
men marched from the adjacent counties, with
banners flying and drums beating. One of the
most vigorous speeches made was that by
Captain Madden, who denounced the Party Pro-
cessions Act as a monstrous injustice, specially
directed against the Orangemen. It was only of late
years, he said, that the Roman Catholics of Ireland
had persuaded themselves that the Orange celebrations
were insulting to them. " Many men still living
can tell you how Roman Catholics used to spend the
evening with Orange lodges, how the drummers and
fifers to a large extent were Roman Catholics."
Captain Archdall, M.P. for Fermanagh, looked
upon the demonstration from another point of
view :

"As I do not see that any practical measures are to be
proposed, and am of opinion that such demonstrations
neither promote the cause of Protestantism nor secure the
peace and prosperity of the country, but rather tend to
endanger both, I regret I can neither attend myself nor
urge the attendance of my brethren in this district."
A large force of cavalry, infantry, and constabu-
lary was collected at Clones, but there was no need
for its services.

PIIAD PASHA.

The death of Fuad Pasha is a calamity to Turkey and
a misfortune to Europe. He was one of the few Turkish
statesmen who read the signs of the times, and who,
while thoroughly Mussulman in policy and convictions,
persevered in a course of gradual reform as the only means
of effectually preserving his country from its numerous
enemies. He was a thorough diplomatist combining great
resolution with a refinement which verged upon dandyism.
Fuad Pasha was born in 1814, entered diplomatic life in
1843, was made a pasha in 1855, next year became
Minister of Foreign Affairs, and in 1861 was appointed
Grand Vizier. From the spring of 1857 be was Foreign
Minister, but was compelled to take indefinite leave
of absence through ill-health.

ITALY.

The exploration of Herculan.um, one of the citits
buried in the great eruption of Vesuvius in A.D 79, is to be
resumed, thanlp to a grant of money from King Victor
Emmanuel. The researches in the tomb of this city
have been interrupted for above twenty years, partly
owing to the fact that it is buried much more deeply than
Pompeii.

AMERICA.

Another deplorable steamboat accident has occurred on
the Red River, Arkansas. The Nellie Stevens was burnt
on Thursday night, and 63 lives were lost.
The New York Times has a very temperate article on
the Alabama treaty. It says that its rejection will not be
influenced by any special hostility to England, for nobody
in America is so foolish as to desire the arbitration of the
sword. It therefore urges that if the Convention be
rejected, the American Government ought to be prepared
with an amendment, and not refuse a settlement for the
mere purpose of keeping the question open.
London, England, 1869-02-16

MISCH

NEWS.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Air. Purcell, a leading barrister at Dublin, has
nearly been committed for contempt of court. When
giving his decision on the petition against the
return of Sir:Arthur Guinness, Mr. Justice Keogh
commented on the fact that one of the revising
barristers had been a member of the Conservative
Registration Society, and an active agent on the
Conservative side during the election. Thereupon
Mr. Purcell wrote to Justice Keogh asking him if the
report of his speech were correct, and controverting
its statements. The judge subsequently in open
court, pointed 'out how indecorous it was for anyone
to write to a judge challenging his decisions, and
asking the reasons for them, and he said that Mr.
Purcell had rendered himself liable to committal
for contempt. lie then went on to justify the
remarks which lie had made, and reminded the
court that Lord Chief Justice Cockburn had removed
Mr. Bcales from the list of revising barristers, not
because he had taken an active part in the politics of
the borough with which lie was officially connected,
but for the far less urgent reason, that he was a
prominent member of a political association. The
appointment of Mr. Purcell, a notorious partizan of
the late Government, is only another of those nume-
rous acts which are constantly coming to light, and
by which the Conservatives, in their straits, sought
to retain power by unduly influencing the elections.
