AMERICA.

It is affirmed that the number of free traders in America
is rapidly on the increase, and that day by day the hitherto
safe status of protection becomes more and more
dangerous. The people of the United States are not so
blind but that the evils of the present system force them-
selves upon a national intelligence, which, superior on
most questions, has been very obstinate on this. It is
found that protection takes away far more than
it gives. This is, indeed, the old story ; but,
happily, the number of those whose interest lies in
ignoring this truth does not grew in proportion to the
increase of those who are against protection. The last
report of Mr. Wells, the great inancier, is, perhaps, the
most powerful argument in favors of free trade ever pub-
lished in the United States. Mr. Wells has been in
Europe, and shews conclusively that the great want of
America—skilled workmen—can never be adequately
present system. It is true supplied under the
that protection increases wages by 58 per cent.,
but then it well - nigh doubles the cost of living.
Hence skilled workmen who have gone out from Europe
with the view of seeking wealth in the land of high wages
have found themselves worse off than before. Authorities
who have sought American opinion at first hand say that
the truth of these conclusions is being more widely admitted.
The new Legislature numbers more freetraders. The
change may be long in corning, but it will come at last.
Its advantages to England are obvious enough.

THE BALLOTING AT MANCHESTER.

The supporters of the Ballot and those whose
opinions about it have been unsettled by the recent
elections, are looking with interest at the proceedings
at Manchester. For two days the balloting has been
quietly carried on, to decide the question of whether
Mr. Jones or Mr. Gibson shall be the Liberal candi-
date. The modus operandi is as follows :—Each
polling booth is divided into compartments, very much
likethose in telegraphing offices. Each of these compart-
ments is set apart for a ward. The voter having been
identified there obtains his card ; said card contains
the names of the two candidates in different coloured
inks, and is wrapped in an envelope. This is taken
to a distant desk, and the name of the objectionable
can;idate is scratched out. The card is returned to
the envelope, and is put into the balloting box ; when
the box is opened no one will be able to say to whom
the card belonged.

ITALY.

It is announced that the disturbances produced by the
meal tax have resulted in the deaths of thirty people and
the wounding of sixty ; but the correspondent of the
Standard estimates that not less than 200 have been
placed hors de e nibat. A Rome correspondent of the
Weekly Register gives a very serious account of the discon-
tent in several provinces. The situation in Naples, says
this writer, is very uncertain, because the increase in
the price of bread, consequent upon the new tax, is simply
a great addition to privations which were already severe.
But the climax of disaffection is leached in the Marches
and Umbria, the Papal districts which were annexed in
1860-61. " Although the resistance has been small in com-
parison to the revolt that is preparing, it has been more
than enough to indicate the bitter hatred of the population
to the rulers it was foolish enough to prefer to the Pope eight
years ago. All is now changed, and at Ceuto especially
the bust of Pius IX. was carried in triumph round the
town to the cry of ' Viva it Pontifice,' " The Democrats
are another element of discord and danger. The writer
believes that a second Garihaldian invasion will be followed
by the occupation of Umbria and the Marches on the
part of the French troops. It may be added that this
estimate of the results of the meal tax is the estimate of
a Papal supporter, and is much in excess of that given in
other quarters.

RIVAL SOCIETIES.

The Broad Arrow, usually a sensible paper, has
been seized with Jesuit-phobia. In a leading article
expressing congratulation at the initiation of the
Prince of Wales into the " craft," our contemporary
goes on to denounce the attacks which have recently
been made upon Masonry in various periodicals.
"It is undeniable that the writers for the
press who have been educated for that
calling by the Society of Jesus are among
the most talented and able of the fraternity,"
and that these are attempting to "sap" Masonry.
What nonsense all this mystery is. The T suits are
simply a religious body, which, like a .hers, is
desirous of making proselytes; only, instead of going
about it inthe bungling, awkward way that some of our
very well-meaning but very indiscreet missionaries
go, they adopt the Pauline principle of being all things
to all men, in order to win some. To the
ignorant, whose imagination is easily touched,
they send men capable of exciting that
imagination ; for men of intellect and logical acute-
ness they provide similar men. The instrument is
carefully selected for his work—that is the whole
mystery and history of Jesuitism. We might study
it with advantage : if we had studied it we should
scarcely have sent out a student bishop to the
unlettered Zulus, nor a Riktalist bishop to the all but
Republican colonists of New Zealand.

TWO CONSERVATIVE MEMBERS.

" Consolation presentations " are lugubrious affairs
enough, and the Tory papers are glad to be able to
relieve them occasionally with accounts of "triumphant
celebrations." To their manifest delight two such
meetings have very recently taken place. Lord
George Hamilton has just returned thanks for his
election for Middlesex ; Mr. Stewart Hardy,
the sae of the late Home Secretary, • has made
speeches to his supporters at Rye. Lord George seems
to have been rather surprised at his election, and he
puts it forward as a precedent for contesting even
the most hopeless seats. That principle, however,
can be carried out on both sides, and will doubtless
prove as efficacious in one case as the other. Both
his lordship and the member for Rye thought some-
thing might be made from a Conservative point of
view out of the discordant elements of which Mr.
Gladstone's majority is composed. They were
gentlemen, said Lord Hamilton, of every religion
and no religion; of moderation and extremes—Mr
Bright and Mr. Lowe.
Mr. Hardy addressed a "series " of dinner meet-
ings, and replied to his health at each. One point in
his addresses should be noticed. He attacked very
strongly the economical policy of the Government.
" They begin," said he, a by diminishing obr dock-
yards, by turning hundreds and thousands of indus-
trious workmen out of employment in the winter
months, thereby increasing the rates and taxation of
the country. They propose to do all this to save,
perhaps, a penny income tax, or something of that
sort. I cannot approve of such a rough-and-ready
economy as this, so hard-hearted and so cruel to
those who have no other means than their labour of
gaining a living; I think some other means might
be found, and I would prefer paying an additional
income tax rather than that thousands of my fellow-
countrymen should be left without work in our large
dockyards."

There was a larger amount of stock in the market
this morning, but accounts being better from the dead
market, and the weather fine, trade was more cheerful
and affoided better support to prices. At late rates,
and in some cases brought 2d per stone. For best quali-
ties of beef there was a good inquiry ; middling grades
were dull of sale, and generally rather drooping in price.
The mutton trade ruled very firm, especially in the better
qualities, and 2d more was very generally made.

A frightful accident occurred on Saturday after-

Dockyard for the extension of docks and basins at
that establishment, whereby oue man was instan-

The spot at which the acciJent occurred was near
the north-east corner of the middle basin, where
there is a deep cutting, spanned by a wot.;Jen bridge,
over which are conveyed the waggons laden with
the clay excavated from the site forming the basin,
the waggons being drawn by locomotives, several
of which are employed on the works. At the mo-
ment of the accident a heavily laden train was pass-
ing over the bridge, when the latter suddenly gave
way at the time three waggons were on it, one man,
named George Dixon, being instantaneously killed,
and three others severely injured. The latter were
promptly removed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital
Rochester. The inquiry into the accident will be
held to-day.

THE END OF THE CAB STRIKE.

London is likely to be safe from any more cab
strikes, for a few months at any rate. The result of
the battle with the railways has been to break up
the two unions. Street Cabby did not care to starve
while work was so plentiful, so he turned out and did
his own work while his brother of the railway station
stayed at home. The owners of cabs were unable to
compete with the large numbers who were their own
masters, and so the matter has ended in complete
failure, both the master's society and that of the men
falling to pieces. It is said that a new society is
about to be formed.

LATEST INTELI LGENCV.

THE BRIBERY ACT.

The Solicitors' Journal points out that the late
proceedings in the Court of Common Pleas cn the
Hull election petition, afford another and a very
notable instance of the unfortunate manner in which
our laws are framed. Here is an enactment made
only last year which has fairly puzzled the Bench and
the Bar, both of whom admitted the hopelessness
of endeavouring to fathom the ambiguous
words of the statute ; and for the decision
ultimately given there could be found no guide save
the desire, as a matter of expediency, not to invali-
date several pending petitions. As Mr. Mellish re-
i-narked, it would take another Act of Parliament to
make the Act intelligible. As Chief Justice Dovill
remarked, amendments are introduced into a bill,
sometimes at a moment's notice, which materially
affect the construction of the Act without the effect
being seen. The remedy for this, say we, is that
long ago suggested by the present Attorney-General.
the appointment of -a Minister of Justice, among
whose duties should be that of revising bills before
they are brought into Parliament, and watching their
progress through it.
The Law Times, is ttring to the same Act, says
tnat, as it at present stands, a great injustice is in-
flicted on the sitting member. " The petitioner may
be, and usually is, a pauper, and he is required to
give security for £l,OOO only, so that if the respon-
dent's costs should amount to more than that sum, he
will lose the excess ; while, being himself usually a
man of substance, he will pay the entire of the peti-
tioner's costs, without limit of amount. He thus fights
at a disadvantage, which, combined with the stringency
of the law that makes him responsible for the acts of
every man who is employed at an election—even for
such as may be done against his positive orders—will
have the certain effect of preventing respectable and
responsible men from taking part in political life,
thus throwing the Legislature here, as it is in
America and in our colonies, into the hands of
political adventurers who make it a trade, and who,
having neither cash nor credit to lose, with many
things to gain, can afford to hazard that which, as
the law is now administered, must be looked upon as
a risk which a prudent man, having no object to
gain but the discharge of a public duty,will sedulously
shun." This very long sentence fairly takes away
our breath.

FIRE-ESCAPES AND THEIR MANAGEMENT.

We recently noticed a case in which a lady lost
her life through the breaking down of a fire-escape.
The inquiry which was generally demanded has
taken place before the coroner's jury. The evidence
given shewed that the first story was not altogether
correct. The escape was not found to be broken as
stated, when an attempt was made to raise the
fly ladder. It was broken in that attempt.
The crowd around acted as firemen got hold
of the ropes, and the immense jerk which was given
to them broke the machinery. Now, doubtless, per-
sons in a crowd may often on such occasions be
useful, but they should be under command, and any
indiscriminate zeal should as much as possible be
checked. Especially should the management of such
a machine as the fire-escape be superintended
by experience. More haste may probably be made
by one man pulling the cords while the fireman is
adjusting the ladder, but, as in this case, the haste
may be useless. While half a minute was hardly
likely to have caused the death of this unfortunate
lady, the means taken to save it caused her death.
The jury in their verdict expressed the opinion that
there had been mismanagement in bringing the escape
into action.

THE BRIBERY ACT.

The Solicitors' Journal points out that the late
proceedings in the Court of Common Pleas on the
Hull election petition, afford another and a very
notable instance of the unfortunate manner in which
our laws are framed.. Here is an enactment made
only last year which has fairly puzzled the Bench and
the Bar, both of whom admitted the hopelessness
of endeavouring to fathom the ambiguous
words of the statute ; and for the decision
ultimately given there could be found no guide save
the desire, as a matter of expediency, not to invali-
date several pending petitions. As Mr. Mellish re-
marked, it would take another Act of Parliament to
make the Act intelligible. As Chief Justice Bovill
remarked, amendments are introduced into a bill,
sometimes at a moment's notice, which materially
affect the construction of the Act without the effect
being seen. The remedy for this, say we, is that
long ago suggested by the present Attorney-General,
the appointment of a Minister of Justice, among
whose duties should be that of revising bills before
they are brought into Parliament, and watching their
progress through it.
The Law Times, is titing to the same Act, says
tnat, as it at present stands, a great injustice is in-
flicted on the sitting member. " The petitioner may
be, and usually is, a pauper, and he is required to
give security for 21,000 only, so that if the respon-
dent's costs should amount to more than that sum, he
will lose the excess ; while, being himself usually a
man of substance, he will pay the entire of the peti-
tioner's costs, without limit of amount. He thus fights
at a disadvantage, which, combined with the stringency
of the law that makes him responsible for the acts of
every man who is employed at an election—even for
such as may be done against his positive orders—will
have the certain effect of preventing respectable and
responsible men from taking part in political life,
thus throwing the Legislature here, as it is in
America and in our colonies, into the hands of
political adventurers who make it a trade, and who,
having neither cash nor credit to , lose, with many
things to gain, can afford to hazard that which, as
the law is now administered, must be looked upon as
a risk which a prudent man, having no object to
gain but the discharge of a public duty,will sedulously
shun." This very long sentence fairly takes away
our breath.

THE CONFEDERATE LOAN.

A curious feature marked the business of Friday on
the London Stock Exchange. There was a revived demand
for the Confederate Loan, which was quoted at £9 10s.
The is -a that some recognition of these bonds may be
given by the Anglo-American Commission has brought
about this renewed speculation. The chance would be
adequately paid for by a much smf.ller sum.

ASTOR HOUSE, NEW YORK, Jan. 7.

I have for some time been contemplating a letter
to you, and as know your correspqndent is now
having his holiday, I take on myself for this week
to supply his place. We have had very severe and
inclement weather. During New Year's-day "it
snowed and blowe 1" in a way very discouraging to
the visitors, and suggestive of much refreshment
wherever they did make good their entry. Since
then we have had fogs, and all manner of disagree-
able varieties. _ _

The New York b3r entertained Senator Casserly
last Saturday. The city has been unusually gay.
On Thursday, August Daley, the dramatist, mar-
ried a daughter of Mr. Duff, manager of the
Olympic, at the church of St. Xavier, and many
other marriages are on the tapis. Capt. James
Funck, once very popular in the passenger trade,
as for forty years he commanded a packet ship
between this port and Havre, died on Wednes-
day last, at his residence in East Twenty-seventh-
street. Mr. Grattan, assas,inated ht Louisville,
Kentucky, is the brother of John W. Grattan, a
well. known New York lawyer, who telegraphed a
reward of $5,000 for the arrest of the murderer.
William Wood committed suicide on Wednesday
by shooting himself through the head. For several
days before hi 3 death he had been drinking to
excesg, and he had been annoyed at a vessel be-
ing robbed over which he had been placed as
night watchman. Brook and Orme, who con-
fessed the murder of Mr. Brodhead, pleading self-
defence, hive been sentenced to death. A box, con-
taining $56,000 in United States bonds and other
securities, was stolen from the office of Rierwith
and Rocholl, in New York, on Saturday afternoon.
Four men were blown up on Sunday by the igni-
