AQUiIIICS.

CHAMPION FOUR-OARED RACE.
Negotiations are pending between the representatives
of the best crows from the Thames and Tyne respectiolg
the settlement of preliminaries for two four-oared matches,
one on the Thames and the other on the Tyne, and all
difficulties are removed saving the matter of the steorers,
the Tyno stipulating that the coxswains shall not weigh
less than five stone, to which the Thames men will not
assent, on the ground that it has never been so required be-
fore, and that such a clause in the articles was never con-
templated when they issued their challenge. Should this
be amicably arranged, the first match will take place about
Nov. 5, for £2OO aside, from Putney to Mortlake ; and th•
other about Nov. 22, from the High Level Bridge to Scots-
wood Suspension Bridge, on the Tyne, for a like sum, and
the crews will in all probability be: Thames—Joe Sadler,
H. Kelley, W. Messenger, G. Hammerton, G. Hammertoe
(cox). Tyne—Jas. Taylor, J. Winship, W. Martin, Jas.
Renforth (champion), J. W. Hall (cox).

Tm VACANT LORD-JUSTICESHIP.

In commenting on the reported offer of the vacant
Lord-Justiceship to Lord Westbury, the Daily News
trusts that ho will accept it. The noble lord is
impossible henceforth as Lord Chancellor. His
theories and practice with respect to the patronage of
that office were not in harmony with modern ideas
and- the prejudices of Parliament. At the present
time Lord Westbury is yachting in the
Mediterranean, and it will be some time
before his acceptance or refusal of the office
can be announced. The Daily News thinks the
Government deserves credit for making the offer, the
economy of the proposed arrangement—a stLving of
the ex-Chancellor's salary of £5,000 a year—being a
considerable recommendation. Our contemporary
ualvely adds that Mr. Gladstone and his colleagues
have not thought of the political skirmisites of the
last session ; and Lord Westbury need not, and is
not likely to be, more sensitive on the matter.

THE CABINET AND THE LAND QUESTION.
Several announcements have lately appeared in
different newspapers purporting to foreshadow the
plans of the Government on the Irish 'land question.
The Daily News officially declares that these rumours
possess no authority whatever. Nothing has yet been
determined. Indeed, the Cabinet will not meet to
consider the measures of the coming session until late
in October.

THE PROTECTION CRY.

Mr. Cavendish Bentinck has suddenly withdrawn
from those who are in favour of reverting to protec-
tion in trade. The member for Whitehaven was one
of the first of our public men to raise the ques-
tion which is now being agitated by the
"Revivers," but he has since recommended
the Cumberland farmers not to join auy
morement for a return to the original state of things
precious to 1847. His reason is simple, but exceed-
ingly touching, especially to the British farmer. Ile
finds that farming is at this moment the most pros-
perous of British industries, and he, therefore, advises
his agricultural friends to " sacrifice their own present
interests to the general benefit of the country." After
this, would it not be a libel to call Mr. Bentinck a
member of the " stupid party? "
The Spectator ridicules not only the Protectionists,
but also the efforts made by the old Anti-Corn Law
League to disprove the "imbecile Protectionist
theory." Our contemporary think it is useless to
publish manifestoes and call congresses in order to
prove that Free Trade is a success. What is wanted,
is to het up an organisation for the instruction of our
working class in elementary political economy.

ENGLISII AND FRENCH POLITICIANS.

One of the ablest Paris papers contrilsts the French
and English systems of political training. In France
anyone may be returned to Parliament at the age of
26, but few politicians get there before 40. French-
men fight their way up in the world, spend
the best years of their lives in trade
or at the bar, and then take a seat in
the Legislative Chamber as the reward of
their success. In England, on the contrary, many
able men are training to politics by entering Parlia-
ment very early. Mr. Gladstone became an M.P.
at— 23, a year after he left the University;
Mr. Disraeli, who had not similar advantages,
commenced political life at 32,
.1..11r. Chichester
Fortescne at 24,
.Pitt at 21, &c. Our contemporary
thinks the English plan of training, according to
which young men begin political life early, and fight
their way from post to post, the b'3tter one. It is to
be noted, however, that the English system is prac-
ticable only in the case of men who enjoy early ad-
vant.iges. Our merchants and literary men do not get
into Parliament any sooner than the French.

TO CAPITALISTS.

• 'General Lnperon's agent in London warns capi-
talists not to invest in the 700,000 loan now adver-
tised on behalf of the San Domingo Government, of
which President Baez is the head. Luperon is
striving to overturn Baez. Some little time ago we
announced by cable that the former had capture('
Samara, and his agent adds to this information the
statement that the whole island is declaring fot
Luperon. Baez and his Government are, therefore
in a shaky condition. and any money lent to their
w:11 be lost if General I.nperon sle..!: o,ls. It may be
added that the capitalist who will send hard ens% tc
an LonEngo, whichever party succeeds, must bo
overburdened with a superfluity which he might get
rid of to more advantage.

FRANCE.

PARIS, July 29.

The Constitutionne/ of this morning announces
that the Government has resolved to grant an un-
limited furlough to old soldiers, whose term of
actual service would expire at the conclusion of the
current year; and also to those men of the second
contingent of the class whose term of service would
expire during the two subsequent years of 1811 and
1872. The journal estimates this measure as equi-
valent to dismissing 50,000 men.
The following is the message telegraphed by the
Emperor yesterday to the President of the United
States through the French Atlantic Cable:—
" I rejoice to inaugurate the new telegraphic line
which binds France to America by sending you the
expression of my good wishes for yourself and the
prosperity of the United States."

ONE REASON FOR PEW RENTS.

A curious tale comes to us from Wales in a correspon-
dence. It appears that a monument has been erected in
the north aisle of St. Mary's Church, Swansea, in memory
of the late Dr. Howell, without the permission of the
gentleman, the Rev. Calvert R. Jones, of Bath, who
claims to be the owner of the aisle. Mr. Jones
accordingly wrote to the Vicar of Swansea and to
the representatives of Dr. Howell, requesting that
the monument should be removed, or he would claim
damages. The vicar gives some strange facts
in his reply. It appears that Mr. Jones charges four
and seven guineas for pews in his aisle, and makes alto-
gether about £6O a year from them. The gross rental
has probably produced more than £l,OOO. During this
time, says the vicar, " you contribute nothing towards
the expenses of conducting the services, neither
to the support of the clergy, the maintenance of the
choir, organ, nor to the various church officials. You
receive many benefits, but you contribute nothing towards
the sustenation of the work. Yet without these services
the aisle is utterly valueless—it is by these alone you
derive an income." But the vicar (lid not gain his case;
how cLuld he expect it after this? The monument had
to be taken down. As the vicar says :—" Our senators
need not go across the water to legislate for disestablish-
ment and disendowmeut—they may find full employment
nearer home on Church reformation and the correction
of Church abuses exercised by their fellow-laymen."—

OVEREND, GURNEY, AND CO.

" Overend, Gurney, and Co." were again before the Lord
Chancellor on Wednesday. his lordship gave judgment
in an appeal a..;atnst a decision of Vice-Chancellor Matins
~re? i ulirg a demurrer to a bill filed by the official liqui-
dator, making the director of the company responsible to
the shareholders for the losses sustained by the company,
by reason of the purchase of Overend, Gurney, and Co.
Ills lordship observed that fraud was not alleged against
the directors. The bill charged them with having acted
imprudently in completing 'the purchase without calling
a meeting of the shareholders. But full power,
said his lordship, was given to the directors
to purchase the business on such terms as they might
think fit. A breach of trust not being alleged against the
directors, this was not a case in which the court could
entertain a suit against the directors. Although the
business of Overend, Gurney, and Co. at the time of
the purchase was in debt to the extent of £2,000,000, yet
at that time the debts due to that company amounted to
£4,000,000, and there was ground for believing that although
some of these were doubtful debts, a great portion of
them might be recovered in course of time. Moreover, of
the £500,000 which the new company was to pay to the
old company for the purchase of the business, £250,000
was to be set apart as a guarantee against bad
debts of the old frm, and the other £250,000
was to be expended by the partners' old firm
in the purchase of shares in the new company. The direc-
tors of the new company had grounds for believing that by
conducting the busines.ss in an improved way it might
become a very flourishing one. No doubt the speculation
into which they entered was tazafdons, bid that was the
characteristic cf all trades, and especially of bill-broking.
It could not be said that the bargain into which the
directors entered on behalf of the company was absurd,
and if it had turned out to be a Lad bargain the share.
holders must take the consequences.

TIIE WEAKNESS OF PROTESTANTISM.

The Church News gives up the Irish disestablished
body. So long as it was the supported of the State,
the Irish Church might struggle on ; now the weak-
ness—the vices—of Protestantism will shcw them-
selves. The News believes it true that the dis-
established Church w ill be no match for its
Roman Catholic competitor. "If there is one
lesson that stands out more prominently than another
all over the world at the present day, it is the proved
imbecility of Protestantism in religious warfare.
Socially and politically, Protestantism may do much,
and will do much, in the form of worldliness
and Liberalism. It makes men discreet
lovers of the present world, and gains credit by
its cultivation of the arts of prosperous living.
But as a religion and as a positive system Protes-
tantism is every day exhibiting incurable weakness
everywhere, and skews its consciousness of this by
taking refuge in politics and controversy." To what
religion dces the journal which writes thus own
allegiance ?

TUE DEANERY OF DURHAM'.

The Record may rest in peace ; Dr. Temple has
declined the deanery of Durham. Ile has done so
on account of the passage of the Endowed Schools
Bill. That measure will make a revolution at Rugby,
where he is head master, and the Doctor believes it
his duty to fix his attention on the institution over
which he presides. Ile was one of the commissioner?
who drew up the report on middle-class education.
He naturally, therefore, would wish to have the
carrying out of reforms which he himself was one to
suggest.

the natural teeth as not to be 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 painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed

EIfIGDATION FUND.

On Tuesday the Lord Mayor presided at a special
meeting of the British and Colonial Emigration
Fund. Mr. Currie, a member of the committee,
read an account of a visit he had made to Canada,
and he arrived at the conclusion that
nearly all the emigrants sent by the chari-
table societies were employed, and were also
contented with their position. Rethought no country
afforded so many instances of success as Canada.
Before the meeting separated a. vote of thanks was
passed to the Marquis of Westminster for a second
donation of £4OOO to the fund.

BALLOCN EXPEP.:MENTS.

The captive balloon—not tLe one in Downing-
street—is doing service in the cause of sJience.
Glaisher has been up to different heights at differ( nt
times, and he finds that the decline of temperature up
in the air at the approach of night is smaller than the
decline within the same time at the surface. From
three o'clock to seven in the afternoon the decline of
temperature on the earth was 33 deg., whilst at the
height of 1,000 feet it was 2.tr deg. This and other
experiments convince Mr. Glaisher that shortly after
sunset the temperature of the air is of the same
value up to a very considerable height.

WOOL-GATHERING.

The Bradford Chamber of Commerce has long
devoted its attention to. stimulating the production
of wool in foreign countries and the colonies. The
Wool-Supply Committee sends printed documents,
embodying the necess.:ry instructions to all parts of
the world, is ready to furnish any informa-
tion needed, and to select rams gratuitously
for exportation. The demand for wool, says
the council in a report, has fully kept pace with the
largely-increased supply. " While in 1831 1,289,172
spindles and 43,048 power looms were employed in
the production of worsted yarns and goods, 2,193,210
spindles and 71,660 power looms were in active
employment in 1808. Thus there is every proba-
bility that the worsted manufacture will long be able
to afford *remunerating prices for any qu"..n! ity of
good serviceable combing wool wlicli the world may
be capable of producing."

Mr. Murray is determined not to fade alto-

attempting to raise a discussion on the question
whether he was " expelled" the Conserratiye Club.
He says he was not, urging that ho resigned. Ile
may possibly b e right, as any account of what
actually took place at the club meeting has not been
made public. But, according to the general impres-
sion, Mr. Murray's resignc lion was not accepted, on
purpose that the club, by formally e:zpelling
might give greater force to their action in the mater.

RAILWAY COMMUNICATION.

Some letters to the Times this last day or two call
attention to a serious breach of the law on the
part of the railway companies. Several of them—
the Great 'Western especially—seen' to have talien
no notice whatever of the Act enjoining that there
shall be communication between passengers, guard,
and driver. We have had several descriptions of
late of accidents, fires, &c., happening to carriages
without the passengers being able to get the train
stopped. Who is responsible for the law being
carried out ? Would the President of the Board of
Trade kindly take the side of the public in this case ?

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—nis Day.

T (TAMES.

A PROMISING DAITGIITEIL—Martha Haslatt, a young
woman, was charged with robbing her father, Edward
Ilaslett, of No 7, Alfred-street, White Horse-lane, Step-
ney, who said ha was a labourer.

Mr. Paga—Do you really mean to prosecute your own
daughter—if you proceed the Itw must take its course.
The prosecutor said I have no alternative. She is a•
very bad girl, and has robbed me often. She has been
away now about four months. I have forgiven her often.
It appeared that the prieoner had bean away four months,
and she took with 11.,r on leaving home three quart
bottles of ihk. She left two bottles of ink at a house
in Keate-street, Spitaltields, and sold the ether.
Mr. Paget—You seem to blacken the character of your
daughter all you possibly can. The depositions were
taken by Mr. Pyer, the chief clerk, and the prisoner was
remanded for a week.

COMMUNICATIOS WITH 711 E EAST.

We have received from Lord Clarendon an ex-
tract from the Official Gazette of Florence, announc-
ing the establishment of extra service on the Brin-
disi and Suez Railway. In order to ensure the
coincidence of the journeys between Susa and
Brindisi with those on the other side of the
Alps, and with the Italian steamers for the East,
there will be, after the first of August next, a
special train every sunday from Suez to Brindisi,
which, leaving Turin about midnight, will convey
passengers to Brindisi so that they may start by
the steamer at one o'clock for Alexandria in Egypt,
in case, owing to a delay in the arrival of the inter-
national train at Suss, the passage cannot be made
by the ordinary train from Turin at 9.40. On the
return voyage, if the steamer from Alexandria does
not arrive at Brindisi on Wednesday before the de-
parture of the 10 p.m. train for Sum, there Ivill be
a special train about 4 a.m., which will convey pas-
eengets to Turin and Susa, iu time to leave by the
international train from Susa to Saint-Michel.

Race Glasses, byVoigtliinder, are now no longer the ex-
clusive luxury of the rich. Since the great demand for
photographic lenses has diminished, un opportunity has
been afforded for applying mechanical power with the
greatest success, whereby the cost of these beautiful and
most perfect instruments is red ucod in price in some
instances to us much as 20 per cent. In fact they are now
no dearer than those of the best French or English makers.
At the depot Callaghan, 23A, New Bond-street, corner of
Conduit-street, the patrons of the Derby may indulg44
their taste in the possession of a veritable Voigtlauder at
comparatively trilling cost. It is superfluous to say the

AUSTRIA AND rnussi.t.

Count Beust, the Austi ian Chancellor, makes no
of the ill feeling which prevails between Austria an:l
Prussia. lie has just been making a speech, in which he
declares that he has honestly striven " to establish move
cordial relations with Prussia, but has not been met in a
similar spirit, and his endeavours have, therefore, proved
nnsuccessful." The Daily News does not believe in Count
Deust. It says that be has brought about this ill-feeling
himself by his indiscretion, and notably by publishing cer-
tain documents relating to the events of 1366, the only object
and effect of such publication being to create difficulties
between Prussia and France on the one hand, and between
Prussia and her German confederates and allies on the
other. But Was it likely that a defeated State would
refrain from revenging itself by making these damaging
revelations if it had the power? Tho_ sloeninents in

THE PRINCE AND THE ACTRESS.

Dom Fernando, father of the King of Portugal, has got
into trouble in his declining years. This Prince recently
refused, somewhat brusquely, the free eller of the Spanish
Crown. Determined to carry out to the uttermost his
contempt of earthly greatness, he supplemented the
refusal of a sceptre by marrying the actress, Fanny
Enssler. For this step the grandees of Portugal have sent
Dorn Fernando "to Coventry.' The dowager Empress
of Brazil has provoked the social Nvar against him. All
the highborn ladies refuse to visit him, and he is not
recognised in public places whenever his wife is in his
company. This is pretty smart treatment to bestow upon
the father of the reigning sovereign, but it is successful.
Dom Fernando finds existence at Lisbon a blank.

TIVZ CHIN= IN .1-:ERICA.

The immigration of Chinese to Califoriii-a is a question
of growing difficulty and importance. The men of yellow(
skins and high.cheek bones coma over in great
numbers, underbid the white labourers, and beget
great prejudice by setting up their idols in the
Christian land of the West. The Californian
State Legislature has imposed a heavy tax upon their
importation, but it has failed to keep them out, for the
Chinese already in America contribute funds to aid the
immigration of their countrymen, and their coming is
also favoured by all persons who want cheap labour. The
Californians do not like the Chinese ; tut people in other
parts of the country do. Hence thebarbarous ill-treatment
of the strangers in the streets of San Francisco has caused
a loud outcry. Further means are being devised for
the introducing them to the Southern rice, corn, and
cotton fields.

THE WIND-UP.

The Ministerial whitebait dinner is limed to take
place at the Brunswick Hotel, Blackwall, on Satur-
day, the 7th:of August. This is ominous ; but -it is
by no means the only indication that our rulers have
had enough of law-making for one year. The house
of Lords is getting through its business at the
customary July pace. At the last sitting it dis-
posed of such measures as the County Courts
Admiralty Jurisdiction Act, the Contagious
Diseases Act, and some half-dozen others,
with scarcely a comment. The House of Com-
mons treats the claims of divers social measures
with sublime indifference. On Tuesday the Scotch
Parochial Schools Bill came up in committee, and
the members forthwith went to work to find out
whether they would be able to pass it this session.
They spent so much time in considering whether
they had any time, that after five hours " work "
they had got only to Clause Three.

THE CONSERVATIVE FALTy LEADERS.

There is continually being raised a discussion
about the Conservative party leaders in the Lords. I
Lord Derby has retired, and there is no member of
the House of Lords to fill his place. Mr. Disraeli,
for reasons often discussed, seems, though he keeps
his party well together, to have no hold on its
loyalty. But he is not in the House of Lords. In
that chamber are three men regarded as competing
for leadership, Lord Cairns, the Marquis of Salis- .
bury, and Lord Carn:irvon. The Daily Sews, in a leader
on their relative merits, s •ys that ne:th,r can lead.
Lord Cairns follows. 11,1 does w bat Earl Der: y
tells him until he finds the advice cannot be carried
out ; then he obtains instructions from Mr. Dis-
raeli. The Marquis of Salisbury is somewhat opposed
to Mr. Lisraeli. He has not, however, yet obtained
one victory over him. Ile was defeated on
Reform ; he. has again been beaten this
year on Concurrent Endowment. And the Marquis
is still the narrow Lord Robert Cecil, though for a
time he seemed to gel outside his prejudices. Ile
rapidly rose in public estimation ; he has this session
quite as rapidly fallen. Ile has not advanced with
his time. The Earl of Carnarvon is still further
out of the question as a le ;der. He retrogrades rather
than advances. Mr. Disraeli must really learn how
to be in two places at the same time.
