11.E111ARKS.

Scarcely any change has occurred in the distribution of barometri-
cal pressure since yesterday. In the north readings are recoverinp
from the slight depression of yesterday afternoon, and pressure
generally has increased a little. The lowest reading is at Nairn, and
is o'33in. lower than that at Yarmouth. Temperature has increased
generally. In the north the change has been great : however, over
Fiance a decrease is shewn. The winds are light. Over these
islands they are from S.W. to S., and easterly on the west coast of
Franco. The sky continues overcast, and weather very misty. Sours
rain has fallen in the N. and W. The sea is calm.

The Liverpool Courier states that information has
been received of the crew of the ship Southern Empire, from
New Orleans, which had been spoken in a sinking state, and
the crew nrixous to leave her.

The Nottingham Express understands that the
return of Col,,nel Wilmot, the Conservative member fot
South Derbyshire, is to be petitioned against, and if what
our contemporary has heard be true, the elation must be
declared void after a little scrutiny.

The Echo has the following :—" We informed the
public, on the IGth ult., that they must expect the increase
of the income-tax to be continued, and we are now able to state
that Mr. Lowe intends to propose the continuance of the extra
2d. We ma, also mention the possibilty that the purchase
of the telegraphs will be deferred until the Exchequer is in
a bolter condition.

At a Conservative dinner given at Tockington, in
Gloucester? the other evening, the chairman, in proposing
Success to the Conservative cause," confessed that the
11onservatives must always be beaten in the long run, and
..mid loud cries of "No, no," he reiterated his opinion, and
Declared that Conservatism was the drag on the polit!ca;

INDIA.

The Earl of Mayo did not receive a very enthusiastic
reception on his arrival at Bombay on December 19. This
result was, however, due to accident ; the vessel did not
cast anchor until dark, and the Governor-General did ngt
land until the next day. Few persons had heard of the
arrival of the Feroze, and hence the assemblage was
meagre. Sir Seymour Fitzgerald gave a State dinner on
Tuesday, and on Wednesday the new Viceroy quietly
departed for Poonah.
Lord Napier, on his arrival, at once assumed the com-
mand of the Bombay army, and held a reception on the
Tuesday.
The Times of India announces that an influential com-
mittee has been formed in Calcutta to raise a Lawrence
Memorial Fund, for the purpose of erecting a statue
commemorating the Indian career of his Excellency Sir
John Lawrence.

The news from the famine districts seems to be growing
rather worse. Cases of actual starvation now take place
frequently. The Times of India fears an approaching
catastrophe, and vehemently demands from the Govern.
ment the most complete relief for distressed districts. It
says that a million sterling would have saved 200,000
people who perished miserably in the North Wes'.
Provinces in 1860-61.

THE LANCASHIRE COTTON TRADE.

Considerable agitation prevails among the cotton opera-
tives throughout Lancashire concerning the proposal of the
masters to reduce the wages 10 per cent. The feeling of
the operatives is strongly in favour of the universal adoption
A short time, and they intend to resist to the utmost the re-
luction of their wages. On Thursday a number of meet-
Mgs were held, at Blackburn representatives from
twenty towns and villages in Lancashire were present,
sad at Darwen a public meeting, largely attended, was held
M the Co-operative Hall, when an account was given of an
mterview with the masters on the previous day. A resolu-
'Jon was unanimously carried, expressing the willingness of
the operatives to see short time adopted, but resolutely
spposing a reduction of the standard list. At Accrington,
Os wal dtwistle, and other places, large meetings were also held
3n Thursday, and tho interview between the operatives'
leputation and the masters' committee was explained in
detail. The masters told the delegates that trade was bad
and unremunerative, and if they worked short time they _
would lose still more, and it was only just the opu
ratives should share in the sacrifices they were*
making. The delegates argued that the operatives had
sustained greater losses, and that the reduction of their
wages would not benefit the masters a single penny, but
would go into the pockets of the brokers and merchants,
mud instead of diminishing it would enhance the consump-
tion of cotton and production of cloth, which would make
the existing evil greater. The committee said they were
not agreed as to the reduction, and would consider what had
been said. The delegates had visited in all 135 firmq, of
whom 95 were totally opposed to the reduction, and 16 were
in favour of it. The others gave no satisfactory answer.
One of the speakers at the operatives' meeting at Oswald-
twistle expressed his belief, if the manufacturers continued
to run full time some of them would have to stop entirely,
Ind hundreds of operatives would be thrown out. The
luestion is exciting great interest throughout the whole_ of
the cotton districts.

THE BEST REMEDY FOR INDIGESTION.

NORTON'S CAMOMILE PILLS are confi-
dently recommended as a simple but certain
Remedy for Indigestion, which is the cause of nearly all
the diseases to which we are subject, being a medicine so
uniformly grateful and beneficial that it is with justice,
railed the " Natural Strengthener of the Human Stomach."
" Norton's Pills" act as a powerful tonic and gentle ape-
rient; are mild in their operation, safe under any •cir-
zumstances, and thousands of persons can now bear testi-
mony to the benefits to be derived from their use, as they
have been a never-failing Family Friend for upwards of
20 years.
Sold in bottles at ls. lid., 2s. 9d., and lls. each, in
every town in the kingdom.
CAUTION.

Be sure to ask for " NORTON'S PILLS," and do not
be persuaded to purchase any of the various imitations
which have sprung up in consequence of the success of
" Norton's Camomile Pills."

TIIE. TURF.

Sporting men are in good spirits. They believe that
the Derby difficulty will soon be a thing of the past.
But Mr. Studd will virtually be the winner, for it is
said that he will succeed in making £15,000 out of
his half-mile of racecourse, which is more than most
studs make for their owners. Lord Hawke
will probably have Earl Fitzwilliam as his successor
in the Badsworth county. The much-talked-
of action brought by John Day against
Admiral Roiis has been settled, and each party
draws its own stakes. This measure has been adopted
by the advice of Lord Westmoreland and General
Peel. Both parties are said to feel " much happier,"
but the public has lost some very edifying disclosures
"most disastrous to the prosperity of the Turf," as
one of the " prophets " says ; and therefore highly
conducive to the public good, say we.—Lord Spencer,
having become Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, has had
his carriage horses and hunters sold at Tattersall's.
London, England, 1869-01-19

AMERICA.

A very hopeful movement has begun in Virginia. Many
of the leading men of the State, senators, representatives,
governors, acting governors, and others—men of decidedly
Conservative politics—have joined with many more in
declaring that they will accept in good faith the principle
of negro suffrage if Congress will grant universal amnesty.
The New York Nation believes that the Legislature will
be disposed to encourage this movement, which is directly
attributable to the result of the late election, and to Vir-
ginia's respect for General Grant.
Murders and outrages of every kind still continue in
some of the Southern States. In Louisiana, a mob has
burned the office of a Republican journal, and in another
part of the same State two negroes have been murdered.
Arkansas is overrun with a robber band. In August,
September, and October last, twenty leading Republicans
were killed or wounded by assassins, and about two
hundred coloured Republicans were murdered, to say
nothing of the wounded and whipped. On the whole,
however, the news from the South is considered " not so
bad."

An estimate of the increase of the national wealth of
America during the last five years, as exhibited in cotton and
iron manufactories, railroads, telegraphs, sheep and other
agricultural products, and in the consumption of certain
foreign commodities, considers it greater than during any
similar period in the national existence. During the same
space of time, one million emigrants, bringing with them
eighty million dollars, landed in the United States. On
the other hand, many of the more important branches of
industry, in which before the war American labour and
capital were able to defy competition, are now totally unable
to make head against foreign produce. This melancholy
state of things is ascribed to unequal and heavy taxation,
an irredeemable paper currency, and a limited supply of
ski led labour. The Times correspondent thinks the
prospects of the United States for 1869 are decidedly good,
and that this result is not a little due to General Grant's
popularity. The belief that his rule will b.! honest, peace-
ful, and judicious, is shared by all parties.

LAW AND POLICE.

A SCHOOL DIFFICULTY.—A case was tried on Monday
in the Chancery Courts respecting the ownership of some
schools at Liverpool. They were established in two or
three houses by the incumbent, but a Mr. Lowe, the
honorary secretary, afterwards purchased the buildings.
In 1864 angry discussions arose between the school com-
mittee and their secretary, and Mr. Lowe was dismissed
from his office. Some months after he was called upon
to transfer the buildings to trustees for the benefit of the
schools, to which he gave no reply, but subsequently gave
the incumbent notice to quit. The Vice-Chancellor, on
referring to Mr. Lowe's communications with the Privy
Council, decided that he was owner as trustee.
AN OVEREND AND GURNEY CASE.—Mr. Maxted, a
gentleman living at Hull, has brought an action in the
Court of Exchequer to recover the sum of Rao, the
amount of two calls in respect of thirty shares in Overend,
Gurney, and Co. The defendant was a member of the
Loudon Stock Exchange, and the case turned upon the
question whether the name which he had given in as the
ultimate purchaser of the shares the plaintiff disposed of
at the time the firm stopped payment was the valid one.
Some complicated transactions in the share market were
detailed, and finally their lordships returned a verdict fur
the plaintiff.

-TICY:4-P.-PE;I-

The Court of Common Pleas is again occupied with the
consideration of such of the registration appeals as were
left undealt with at the conclusion of last term. The
judges sitting to hear these appeals are Lord Chief
Justice Bovill, Mr. Justice Byles, Mr. Justice Keat-
ing, and Mr. Justice Montagu Smith. On Monday a
good deal of interest was excited amongst the
public by the expectation that the lodger question would
be debated, there being three cases—Barnes v. Peters,
Perowne v. Peters, and Bakewell v. Peters—in which the
point is raised. In the course of the morning, however,
the Solicitor - General, Sir John Duke Coleridge,
entered court, and applied to the Lord Chief Justice
for a postponement of the cases, at the request of the
learned counsel for the appeals. The Solicitor-General,
representing the respondent, explained that the matter
which was in dispute was, whether fellows, under-
graduates, and others occupying rooms in the various
colleges in the University of Cambridge were entitled to
vote in respect of the same. Their lordships consented to
the postponement of the cases until Thursday, when it
is understood the point at issue will be vigorously con-
tested,

POOR-LAW RELIrr IN GERMANY.

A correspondent of the Times puts before the
public some facts relatinik to the administration of
the poor law in Elberfeld- which is so excellent
that it has been imitated 131 other parts of Germany.
The efficiency of the plan is proved by the reduc-
tion of half the expense of maintaining the poor,
while the really deserving are more effectually
relieved. The system was inaugurated by
Herr von der Heydt, brother of the Prussian
Minister of Finance. He met at first with great
opposition, but the experience of fifteen years has
confirmed the merits of his scheme. Elberfeld is
divided into eighteen districts, and these again into
fourteen quarters. All persons seeking relief must
apply to the " father" of the district in which they
reside. A strict investigation is made into the
merits of the claimants, and any doubtful point is
referred to the district meeting, which takes place
every fortnight. The minutes of the pro-
ceedings are sent up to the Poor-law Board,
and any irregular proceedings are " quashed "
by the central board. Among the general prin-
ciples laid down for the relief of the poor, it is
decided that outdoor relief should be adopted in order
to preserve the family tie, and that no relief be
granted for more than a period of fourteen days.
The chief point which is insisted ton is, that strict
supervision be maintained, and for this purpose each
" father " is expected to have only four " cases " under
his care.

GERMANY.

Whilst the last traces of the Polish nation are dis-
appearing from that portion of the kingdom which fell to
the share of Russia, in Prussia a gratifying
act of justice
has been done. During the di cassion of the Budget of
the Interior in the Prussian Chambers, a Polish deputy
brought forward a 'motion to the effect that in the pro-
vinces where the Poles preponderate (East Prussia and
Pomerania) an edition of all public documents shall be
published in the language of the majority, in addition to
the version in German. This proposition, though opposed
by the Government, was carried by a smtill majority.

THE STATUS oF TRADES UNION'S.

The magistrates of Bradford have a great desire
that trade should not be " restrained ;" and our
legislators seem to have had the same kind of wish,
or, at least, the law on the subject is not very clear.
When, therefore, a carpenters' trade union prose-
cuted a secretary for embezzlement, the aforesaid
magistrates at Bradford would have nothing to do
with the matter because the union was " in restraint
of trade." An appeal has just been heard in the
Queen's Bench on the matter, and judgment
reserved. It is surely time that this question were
settled. Most people seem to have thought that the
Act of the Recorder of London met the case.
NOW verrois.

CRIME AND CRIMINALS.

Mr. Baker refers to the disputed question as to
whether a misdemeanour after a conviction for
felony can be punished by a sentence of seven years'
penal servitude, and declares that the law should be
altered if it is not clear on this point. If a law be
contrary to common sense and to the repression of
crime, the more the matter comes before the public
the better, because the law should not be preserved
if it fails to repress crime. By present arrangement
a man on his first offence can have five years' penal
servitude, and the man committed for the tenth time
can have only two years' imprisonment.

EMIGRATION FOR PAUPERS.

Mr. Jeuki s writes to the Times on emigration
as a relief to pauperism. Ile declares that private
charity cannot effect a permanent change in the
condition of pauperism. Ile adds that one class of
emigrants would not be popular in the colonies,
namely, that which starts with no resources and
only the " fickle prospect" of obtaining immediate
employment. America could find work for these
outcasts, but would resent the exportation of English
paupers. The colonies will willingly accept
" settlers," and Mr. Jenkins proposes that we should
promote the emigration of this class. They abstract
present and prospective burdens from us, and they
offer present and prospective development to the
colonies. With regard to the cost of their
settlement, it has been calculated that £47 is the
lowest estimate for a father, mother, and three
children being sent to Canada, and it is asked if Mr.
Peabody would advance a million to open the neces-
sary subscriptions, since private charity would
be powerless to . deal with the matter. It
will be found impossible for the guardians of
the poor to render much service in this respect, and
a rating system for the purpose would be unfair and
unpopuar. This is a national matter, says the
writter of this letter, and we should regard it as such,
and establish an extensive system of emigration
upon the basis of loans to the emigrants, constituted
and carried out in concert by the Imperial and
Colonial Governments.

THE INCOME TAX REPEAL ASSOCIATION.

At the Gainsborough Petty Sessions last week the
"Income Tax Repeal Association"was finally exposed.
This high-sounding company, which professes to have
a standing committee of gentlemen of influence and
position, with Mi. Whalley, M.P., at their head,
really consisted of three men, named Whorlow,
Cringer, and Carey. There was not sufficient
evidence against the last to sustain the
charge of obtaining money under false pretences,
and he was therefore chscharged and summoned as a
witness. Evidence was given that Gringer and
another man had called upon several persons to
obtain subscriptions and signatures, purporting to
be for the repeal of the income tax. Several
gentlemen stated they had given money on
the strength of their representations. Carey
when put in the witness-box confirmed the previous
evidence, and said he was a captain in the navy.
Early in November he first saw the prisoner Whorlow,
who answered an advertisement which he had put in
the papers, and engaged him to collect signa-
tures and subscriptions for a Yorkshire society.
Ile gave him an authority for the collection,
saying, " You are quite safe with that ;" and
told him the standing committee had Mr. Whalley,
M.P., at the head. Mr. Whalley, M.P., Mr.
Ilemmerde, of the London and Westminster Bank,
and other gentlemen, were then called, and distinctly
denied having sanctioned the use of their names.
One of them said he had written to Whorlow two
years ago on hearing that his name was so used.
The prisoners were committed for trial, bail being
offered to them.

AUSTRIA.

The Vienna journals confirm toe declaration of the
Forth German Gazette, that the violent paper war between
Austria and Prussia has ceased for the time. Count
Bismarck has ceased firing, and yet Count Beust remains
in office. The object of this strange attack, and the
cause which has brought about its sudden cessation, are
alike mysterious.

THE RITUAL JUDGMENT.

The decision of the Ritualists at their late meeting,
to leave individual priests to obey the judgment of
the Privy Council when and how they thought best,
led to a good deal of variety in the services at the
" advanced" churches. At St. Mary Magdalene's
Paddington, the altar candles were lighted as usual,
and will continue to be lighted until formal notice of
the decision has been served; at St. Andrew's, Wells-
street, they were not lighted. We believe they have
not been hitherto, for at this church the music, which
is the best of its kind in London—most elaborate,
most uncongregational—is the chief attraction. At
&ll Saints', Lambeth, Dr. Lee, after entering the
pulpit and making the sign of the cross, read a pro-
test against the recent judgment, and said that
" having in mind the provisions of Magna Charts,
and the terms of my ordination, I do solemnly pro-
test against the said judgment, and against the impo-
sition of pains and penalties in matters of Church
discipline by the said Privy Council." At this church
altar lights were used. At St. Paul's, Walworth,
there were eight lights, but not lighted, and there
was no incense nor processional cross, nor were there
genuflexions until after the consecration. It is stated
in a leading article of the Standard that " Mr. Mac-
konochie has honourably complied with the terms of
the j uillpnent"—implying, we presume, that the altar
caniles were not lighted, although the day was so
dark that they might have been used for the purpose
of giving light.

INDIA.

he Earl of Mayo did not receives very enthusiastic
reception on his arrival at Bombay on December 19. This
result was, however, due to accident ; the vessel did not
cast anchor until dark, and the Governor-General did not
land until the next day. Few persons had heard of the
arrival of the Feroze, and hence the assemblage was
meagre. Sir Seymour Fitzgerald gave a State dinner on
Tuesday, and on Wednesday the new Viceroy quietly
departed for Poonah.
Lord Napier, on his arrival, at once assumed the com-
mand of the Bombay army, and held a reception on the
Tuesday.
The Tints of India announces that an influential com-
mittee has been formed in Calcutta to raise a Lawrence
Memorial Fund, for the purpose of erecting a statue
commemorating the Indian career of his Excellency Sir
John Lawrence.

The news from the famine districts seems to be growing
rather worse. Cases of actual starvation now take place
frequently. The Times of India fears au approaching
catastrophe, and vehemently demands from the Govern-
ment the most complete relief for distressed districts. It
says that a million sterling would have saved 200,000
people who perished miserably in the North Wes'•
Provinces in 1860-61.

THE REGISTRATION API-T.4IZ

The Court of Common Pleas is again occupied with the
consideration of such of the registration appeals as were
left undealt with at the conclusion of last term. The
judges sitting to hear these appeals are Lord Chief
Justice Bovill, Mr. Justice Byles, Mr. Justice Keat-
ing, and Mr. Justice Montagu Smith. On Monday a
good deal of interest was excited amongst the
public by the expectation that the lodger question would
be debated, there being three cases—Barnes v. Peters,
Perowne v. Peters, and Bakewell v. Peters—in which the
point is raised. In the course of the morning, however,
the Solicitor - General, Sir John Duke Coleridge,
entered court, and applied to the Lord Chief Justice
for a postponement of the cases, at the request of the
learned counsel for the appeals. The Solicitor-General,
representing the respondent, explained that the matter
which was in dispute was, whether fellows, under-
graduates, and others occupying rooms in the various
colleges in the University of Cambridge were entitled to
vote in respect of the same. Their lordships consented to
the postponement of the cases until Thursday, when it
is understood the point at issue will be vigorously con-
tested,
