VAGRANCY.

A correspondent of the Times remonstrates strongly
with those who encourage vagrancy by giving money
in the public streets. llis morning walk from
Regent's Park to Lincoln's-inn occupied an hour,
and in this space of time he encountered nineteen
beggars, only one of whom he believed to be really
in want, the rest being all professional mendicants.
Between Gordon-square and Southampton-row, he
met nine children, most of them carrying brooms,
while in his return he is certain to meet a similar
number of vagrants of a different class. It needs,
in the opinion of this writer, but little reflection to
know that a penny given to a child.of 5 or 6 years
old cannot benefit it, while if it be older it most
likely gambles it away. Most of us, he believes,
give far too little to those who are really in want=
the needy, the sick, clesitute or ignorant children,
decrepit, aged, or miserable folk ; but reckless alms-
giving is money miserably wasted. Unfortunately,
to reach any of the classes he mentions requires
what most of us are more reluctant to give than
money—time and personal exertion—while- the
professional vagrant stands ready with his or her
pitiful tale.

DURGLAILY.
Mr. Mill, in a letter to the Times, remarks on the
subject of burglars, and thinks that it is idle to
blame the police for want of vigilance when it is the
defective state of the law f!At is at fault. He con-
siders that the " criminal fla pitalist s," whether dis-
honest pawnbrokers, or receivers of stolen goods,
should be • subjected to more stringent regulations.
The law as it at present stands does not afford the
means for detecting these traffickers, and a change
for the better is loudly called for. Another class of
offenders is that which harbours the criminals, and
receives rents necessarily the proceeds of plunder.

PRINCE LEOPOI.D.—Hoch anxiety was caused on
Thursday last as to the health of H.R.11. Prince Leopold.
Ho was attacked by a recurrence of the internal
haamorrhage which on a previous occasion assumed
so severe a form. Ho is now, happily, much better.
The attack began late on Thursday. Sir William
Jenner was in attendance at Osborne on Friday,
Saturday, and Sunday. The attack has subsided more
quickly than on any of the former occasions, and as yet
there is no relapse. All going on well, the Prince will be
taken to Windsor.—British Medical Journal.

The sjecches delivered at the banquet given by the
Associated Chambers of Commerce to Mr. BRIGHT
Will be read with considerable interest. There are
many important commercial measures which not only
concern our manufacturers and traders, bnt 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-
tires of commerce, and their voice more potent in the
offices of Ministers and the Chambers of the Legis-
lature. Mr. Bniowes suggestion towards the
attainment of so desirable an end - was not un-
worthy of the serious attention of the asso-
ciated Chambers. lie remarked that if the great
annual meetings, instead of being held in the metro-
polisof the Parliamentary Session,

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 are to be fcrthwith adjusted would
not even raise a smile.

ECONOMY.

Four years ago Mr. Childers, then a Junior Lord
of the Admiralty, said he hoped " the House of
Commons would resist the attempt to retain sinecures
at Greenwich, and that the offices of governor and
lieutenant-governor would not be maintained." Mr.
Childers is now First Lord of the Admiralty, and
has claimed and obtained for himself supreme control
over the Board. He is also a great economist? and has
cut down the number of clerks and junior officers in a
manner that is said to have alarmed even Mr.
Glarbitone. Nevertheless he has just appointed a
gallant admiral visitor and governor at Greenwich
with a salary of £1,200 a year. The said visitor and
governor has been deprived of all duties by a recent
Act of Parliament. We might have expected that
under these circumstances the post itself would have
been abolished by the most economical Minister who
ever presided over the British navy.
London, England, 1869-02-26

"A Canadian" writes a tolerably exhaustive letter to
the Daily News on the dispute between Canada and the
Hudson's Bay Company. The Canadian Government
have not proposed to buy the land bemuse the company
has no power to sell it, and because, in the second place,
it is of no commercial value if the company had
full power. The monopoly of the company was
granted by a charter of Charles 11., 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 aßritish colony.
The Canadians hold that the governors of the colony of
Rupert's Land have duties and obligations as well as
rights ; that these rights are not separable from the
duties, and that they must either govern or abdicate.
The representatives of the company admit that they
cannot govern the country for want of necessary powers.
"A state of things has grown up not contemplated by their
charter, and if they will neither eat the hay nor allow
others to eat it, they must be treated as their elder
brother, the Virginia Company, was treated in an age
when proprietary governments were better understood
than now." The commissioners reported in favour of can-
celling the charter of this company, which was done. The
Virginia Company had spent much and gained little, but
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 he had for nothing, or
next to nothing. Every pound taken from the colonist for
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 first to pay for them.
London, England, 1869-02-26

THE TRADES' UNIONS COMIIISSION.

In reply to Mr. Sergeant Cox,
Mr. BRUCE said the rep wt of the commission might
be expected in the course of a few days, and he might
rely that the Government would not lose a moment in
taking the subject into consideration, with a view to legis-
lation ou that very important subject.

NOTES ON IRELAND.

The old time of mob rule in Ireland does not seem
to have passed away altogether. At the hearing of
the Sligo election petition, which has been conducted
(in consequence of the excitement prevailing at
Sligo) at Carrick-on-Shannon, a witness was
ordered to produce some documents. They were at
Sligo, and he objected to put himself under the
power of a Sligo mob. The judge, however,
insisted, and the witness went. From what
afterwards took place it seems that telegrams
were sent off to Sligo, calling the roughs together.
When the witness got to the town this mob assaulted
the police by whom he was beingprotected, and stones
were freely thrown, one of them striking the offend-
ing man in the head. The man who threw the stone
was arrested, and the matter was brought under the
notice of Mr. Justice Keogh, who has declared his
intention of probing the matter to the bottom,
and finding out at whose' instigation the mob
assembled. What with the bribery which has been
proved, and has resulted in the unseating of Major
Knox, and the intimidation from mobbing which ham
been shewn to exist, the House of Commons will
probably feel itself bound to consider whether a new
writ shall issue for Sligo.

There seems to be some uncertainty as to whether
a new writ will be issued for Dublin ; but at any
rate an attempt will be made to obtain the consent
of the House. As corruption was shewn to have
existed only amongst the freemen. these form
comparatively small proportion or tno voters; ana as
both Liberals and Conservatives believe that theyhave
a chance of success, it is not unlikely that the motion
for a new election will be passed. It was by Flit.
Arthur Guinness, the Conservative candidate, flat
bribery was committed, so that the Conservatives of
the city do not believe in any very deep-seated cor-
ruption; and the organ of the Liberal party argues
thatthe electoral corruption in Dublin was exclusively
confined to a class, and did not pervade, or even in the
slightest degree taint, the general body of electors,
It is therefore thought that it would be an injustice
to make the many suffer for the sins of the few.

establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor,
without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is
wholly dependent fer support on voluntary contributions
and legacies. _ _ _

It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in
addition to this, the average number of attendance of the
dostimte sick has for a considerable period averaged be-
tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly.
The Committee earnestly- solicit the assistance of the
benevolent, as the premises of this hospital are capable of
containing several hundred more beds had the Committee
the requisite funds to maintain them.

POLITICAL MEETINGS.

Political banquets do not as a rule take place
during the session, but just after a general election
there are certain consolation banquets to be held.
As the duties of those to be consoled do not require
them at Westminster the gatherings may as well be
held during the session. as before or after it. Liberal
Cambridgeshire has ust been entertaining Mr. Young,
who, bringing down Mr. Brand to defeat the Conser-
vative, saw himself thrown out by his own protégé.
To shew him that though the electors had not chosen
him yet they respected him, a testimonial was presented
to the unfortunate candidate, and he had the plea-
sure of hearing everybody saying pleasant things
about him for some two hours. Mr. Brand was very
sorry that he had been successful, and declared that
if he had thought it possible he would not have come
down to disturb the representation.

The Welsh Liberals residing in London have been
rejoicing over the return of twenty-three Liberals
by Wales. They got together more than a score of
" .M.P.'s," and the list of those present included
twenty-two gentlemen called Williams, fourteen of
the name of Davis, and fourteen Jones's. Mr.
Knatchbull-Hugessen, who presided, pointed out that
the Liberals of Wales had to contend against large
territorial influence, and the weight of old family
associations and traditions. But, like other portions
of the country, they were determined that injustice
should be done away with, and that all the subjects
of her Majesty should be .placed on a footing of
perfect equality. They had, therefore, overcome the
old prejudices, and contributed largely to the Liberal
majority.
The Marquis of Hartington, in his address at the
Radnor elections, has strongly protested against the
boasting of the Conservatives, that Lord Stanley
settled the Alabama claims. These claims are as far
from settlement now as ever. In his allusion to the
Irish Church, the noble marquis has confined himself
to the general auestion.

THE HABITUAL muumuu BILL.

On the same clay that the new Act for dealing
with habitual criminals was published it was first
brought into operation. The magistrate the most
prompt to take advantage of its provisions is Mr.
Paget, of the Thames Police-court. Under its
twelfth clause he was able summarily to convict and
send to prison a " pest of society," who of late has
been amusing himself by assaulting the police. Mr.
Paget sentenced the man to three months' hard
labour.

scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without.
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to bo distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any jainful operation,-and will
support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful an masti-

house, leaving on the following morning. After their de-
parture the prosecutrix missed a gold watch and chain and
locket, valued together at £B. She gave information to
the police. Yesterday morning she found that her house
had been broken into, an entry having been effected at the
kitchen window. A cruet stand, an Astracan jacket, a
pair of spectacles (gold), half a dozen plated spoons, and
other articles were stolen. Weston was the female pri-
soner's brother.
The prisoners were remanded until Friday.

F ball enable them to establish tho 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 tho
staff of nurses would be able to attend upon more children,
but no more can bee-admitted in the present building.

THE EDUCATION OF WOMEN.

The University of Dublin has followed the
example of London and Cambridge in establishing
examinations for women. The Irish scheme happily
avoids the absurd severity of the metropolitan pro-
ject. Like that of Cambridge, it is practicable, and
therefore likely to be useful. The Dublin
authorities will allow an examination to be
held in any town where not fewer than
twenty candidates present themselv es. Juniorsbetw cen
15 and 18 years of age must pass in elementary
subjects. English history. geography, and one lan-
guage. Seniors above 18 must qualify in religious
knowledge, English history and geography, English
language and literature and history of France, one
modern continental language and corresponding
history, arithmetic, and one other subject. Some of
the Irish ladies have taken up the matter.
