THE IRISH RAILWAYS.

The Times is astonished that the Irish Railway
Commissioners should have been charged to institute
a comparison between the Irish and Belgian systems of
railways. "To compare the working of railways in
Belgium and Ireland is something like comparing the
culture of the vine in England and in
France. " Belgium is a prosperous and
wealthy country, with profitable manufactures,
large towns, coal and iron mines; and it is the
highway between England and Germany, France
and Northern Europe. Ireland, on the other hand,
has few large towns, no manufactures except at
Belfast, no coal or iron mines, and is contiguous to
nothing but the "melancholy ocean." The contrast
certainly is great ; but, unfortunately for the Times,
the business of the commissioners was not to institute
such a comparison. They were appointed simply to
ascertain the consequences of reducing the Irish fares
to a scale similar to that in use in Belgium. To make
this investigation it was necessary to compare the
industry and traffic of the two countries ; but this com-
parison was an incident, not the obj cot, of the inquiry.
The result of the research is the estimate that the
total receipts of the Irish railways will fall off by
£645,000, as the consequence of reductions of fares
varying from 78 to 32 per cent. The sum is large,
but large only on paper. The report does not bring
into the calculation one penny of the increased traffic
which will be the certain result of such a decrease in
fares. £120,000 a year will be saved in management,
and both this sum and all receipts beyond the
present average will go to diminish the loss of
£645,000, so that in no year will such
an amount have to be paid out of the treasury. In
a few years a profit will be left. In eleven years the
receipts, say the commissioners, from increased
traffic will be sufficient to pay all working charges,
cost of increased appliances, interest on borrowed
money, and leave a balance. Surely these calcula-
tions are not such as to close the question at once,
according to the advice of the Times. It is possible,
though not apparently advisable, to lessen the reduc-
tions, and hence diminish the loss. The railways of
Belgium—that model country—were by no means
such a profitable investment as to render the com-
parison disheartening. The Government bore a large
loss for sixteen years before the scale turned. Lastly,
if we cannot do this much for Ireland, what can
we do?

RATCLIFF-HIGHWAY AT ONE O'CLOCK IN THE MOIL*.

refused to submit to the demands made upon
them they were attacked and beaten. Wri-

TIIE GROWTH OF LARGE TOWNS

It is estimated by the Registrar-General that by
the middle of the present year, London—that is to
say, the province of houses lying between Hamp-
stead on the north and Sydenham on the south, Bow
on the east and Hammersmith on the west, and com-
prising 122 square miles—will have a population of
3,170,7,54. At the beginning of the century the
population was under a million. Bristol has increased
from 137,000 in 18.51 to 169,000 now. Bir-
mingham has 361,000 inhabitants, an increase
of 61,000 in eighteen years. Liverpool
has increased by more than double that number, and.
has 509,000 inhabitants. Manchester has not in-
creased nearly so much, but still it has the respect-
able number of 371,000 inhabitants; and if to this we
add the population of Salford, 120,000, we find that
the joint boroughs are not far behind the capital of
the Mersey. Sheffield has nearly a quarter of a
million inhabitants, having increased more than
100,000 in eighteen years. Bradford has 138,000,
Leeds 253,000, Hull 127,000,
an increase of nearly
50 per cent. upon the population of 1851. Newcastle-
on-Tyne has increased by nearly that proportion,
viz., from 88,000 to 130,000. The relative density
of these large towns is shewn by the following
arrangement :—Sheffield has 10.5 persons per
acre; Leeds has 11.7 ; Bradford has 21.0 ; Sal-
ford, 23.1; Newcastle, 24.5 ; Hull, 35.6; Bristol,
36.1 ; London, 40.7 ; Birmingham, 46.1; Manchester,
82.7 ; and Liverpool, 99.7. The population of all
these towns put together does not reach that of
London by 752,622.

OUR HOSPITALS.

A startling statement by Sir J. Y. Simpson has
just been published. It will increase the distrust
now felt by many persons against the present regu-
lation of our hospitals. He asserts that about three
times as many patients (lie after limb operations in
large hospitals as die from tl:e same operations in
private and country pr ,ctice. lle has collected the
reports of 1,000 and odd limb amputations in
country and provincial practice, and finds that
out of the 1,000, the proportion of deaths was
nearly 110, or 1 in 9: but out of 1,000
similar amputations performed in the large
hospitals of Edinbuigh, Glasgow, London, &c., the
proportion of deaths is generally above 300, or about
one in three. Again : he states that hospitals seem
generally to be much more healthy when first built
than after they have been used a few years. As a
proof of this assertion he quotes statistics gathered
from London University Hospital, which shew that
for the first five or six years after the hospital was
opened, the deaths amounted to 1 in G or 7 of those
operated upon : whilst in the last returns he had
seen the deaths had more than doubled, having
increased to above lin 3. Sir John suggests that,
as a remedy for this unsatisfactory state of things,
we should specially strive to assimilate the form
and arrangements of large town hospitals to the
condition of patients in private and country practice.
Each patient requires an abundant, or rather super-
abundant,
well as by day, and to ensure it
space is required. Hence, he believes,
fr, hy night supply
aas well
of new, fresh, and ever-changing
a
the area over which hospitals are spread,
the greatl a
rg ande r freeth
the safer and better will it be for the patients. In
conclusion, the writer says it is our duty to place the
inmates in our hospitals under every possible means
to avoid contagious diseases in either the wards or
airing-grounds, as well as to ensure and expedite the
recovery by the best hygienic form of the buildings :
for health, and the recovery of health, is far more
important to the poor man than it is to the rich.

The success of the Greek kingdom has not been such
as to keep up the Philhellenic enthusiasm which was so
universal in Europe during the original war of indepen-
dence, and which led to the armed intervention of the
three leading European Powers. Greece is now left almost
without friends, except those bound to her by ties of
interest ; but in her present forsaken condition she does
not forget her old defenders. The municipality of Misso-
longhi has determined to commemorate Lord Byron by a
monument on the spot where he died, in April 1829. The

FREE BANKING.

There is no system more convenient than the one
allowing the issue of bank-notes, and there are few
systems more open to abuse. Some correspondents
of the Star have been carrying on an interesting dis-
cussion on the subject. The Secretary of the Bristol.
Chamber of Commerce, now writes, laying down as
genenl propositions-1. That the proper business
of banking is the borrowing and lending of money,
and that th:A business is now as free as any busi-
ness can be, and much more so than many other
businesses, such as that of the publican, the
tobacconist, the grocer, &c. 2. That experience has
proved it is most injurious to the community to
allow promissory notes payable to 1. carer on demand
(commonly called bank-notes, or their equivalent) to
be issued, unless with adequate security, by a proper
compulsory reserve of gold for their redemption at
all times. The last proposition will hardly be
enerally assented to in Lombard-street.

SPAIN.

A panic which occurred at the Madrid Exchange, on
Saturday, assumed the character of a complete collapse.
For a long time the funds have been declining, until pre-
viously to Saturday they reached 29f.—a deplorably un-
favourable quotation, seeing that they never fell below
25f. in the worst days of the civil war, and were frequently
above 50 under O'Donnell's Government. But on Satur-
day there was a further direct fall of 2f., biinging the quo-
tations below 27, or scarcely above anarchy price. The
new loan, which is offered at 80, and which has kept at
something like 64, was vainly offered at 60. In Madrid
the Exchange is not a barometer, as it is in more
phlegmatic London, but it is rarely that it suffers a
collapse of this kind. The sign cannot be called assuring.
The Times correspondent disbelieves the stories now in
circulation respecting the barbarity of the troops at
Malaga. Certain it is that cannon was very sparingly
used by the attacking general, although he had plenty at
command. Not a single shell was thrown. Two steamers
and a sloop cannonaded a barricade, but a large war-ship,
which could have inflicted great damage on the town, was
altogether silent. General Caballero de Rodas combined
a great deal of longsufferance and forbearance with that
firm resolution without which success was impossible.
Nevertheless, the loss in the actual combat must have been
very severe. The official report acknowledges more than
200 soldiers hors de combat at Malaga alone, so that the
estimate of 1,000 for the loss on both sides at Malaga and
Cadiz cannot be exaggerated.

AMERICA

The repeal of the Tenure of Office Act ny a united
majority of Republicans and Democrats is equivalent to a
vote of confidence in General Grant. The law which has
been repealed was passed at the beginning of the disputes
between President Johnson and the Congress, and was for
the purpose of preventing the President from dismissing
the State officers at pleasure, by giving the Senate the
right of veto. It was on a charge of breaking this law in
the Stanton affair that the impeachment of Mr. Johnson
was primarily founded. The Democrats were of course
glad to repeal this Act, but they could not have done so
without the aid of many Republicans. The step thus
taken shews that the Act was regarded as an excentional
measure to meet exceptional cases.
The New York Nation has no hope of an immediate
settlement of the Alabama claims. It is now generally
understood that the nature of the settlement on which
Mr. Johnson and Lord Stanley have agreed is such that
the Senate would never confirm it, even if it gave satisfac-
tion to Mr. Seward. " A successful renewal of the nego-
tiations by Mr. Johnson with the new Ministry is
impossible, if through no other reason, for want of time.
Mr. Johnson is well known to have only two months of
office left, and Lord Clarendon will therefore hardly feel
inclined to renew with him a very troublesome discussion.
So the matter will now probably go off till his successor
has made his appearance on the scene."
A Chicago paper has found a suggestive title for its
divorce report. It calls it the "work of family dismem-
berment." And, in truth, this work is progressing so
rapidly in America as to leave no doubt that a totally new
theory of marriage is being silently but efficiently adopted,
especially in the West. Matrimony in America is
not a holy bond, nor a bond of any description ;
it is a contract which may be terminated at the
pleasure of either party. The present system of
divorce at will has its defenders in the States,
but it is at least time that the question received
the consideration of the State, so that it will
be finally decided whether any restrictions be imposed
on the production of homeless children, or whether "free"
marriage be made a recognised instiNtion. When 460
persons are divorced in one town in twelve months, and
their sons and daughters cast adrift from family ties, the
evil has surely reached its climax.

THE PUBLIC HEALTH.

The mortality in the large towns still varies to a
wide extent. For instance, last week deaths in
Bristol and Birmingham were at the rate of 22 per
1,000 of the population per annum, while at Newcastle
they were 33, Glasgow 35, and Edinburgh 40. London
stands comparatively low in the list, with 25
per 1,000, although its population is so dense and
some portions of its area so wretched. Clearly
there must be great room for improvement in New-
castle, Glasgow, and Edinburgh if the mortality of
London can be thus kept down. The temperature
of last week was most remarkably high. The mean
of the week was 9.7 degrees above the average of
fifty ye irs, and on Friday it was no less than 13.0
above the average ; probably it was the warmest day
in Epiphany week ever known.

THE MAYOR OF CORK.

All the journals, except those of the extremest
opinions, join in condemning the Mayor of Cork.
Ile seems to be altogether unfitted for his position.
Ile begins by a speech which topples on the very
verge of treason ; he becomes so excited at a panto-
mime that he raises an uproar in the theatre, and
has to be pacified by the boxkeeper. While presid-
ingin open court, he gives it as his opinion that the
police have improperly prosecuted, and his brother
magistrates improperly detained, innocent persons—
thus insulting those with whom it is his duty to act.
He pleads with the corporation committee to have
a tender by a Roman Catholic accepted, notwith-
standing that it was evidently a less advantageous one
than that offered by a person of a different belief.
Now we have a more flagrant illustration of his
bigotry. The permanent secretary to the mayoralty
is a Protestant, it would seem. Mr. Sullivan has
been. trying to oust him from his office, in order to
put m his place a co-religionist.

AUSTRIA.

The agitation of the clerical party, which had calmed
down a little after it became evident that the Govern.
ment intended the new laws to be obeyed, has again
broken out. The cause of this fresh excitement is to be
found in the new measures which are to be brought before
the lteichsrath, for the purpose of completing Austria's
social revolution: A bill on primary education will be
introduced by Count Bengt, and will provide for gratui-
tous and compulsory education, and the superintendence
of all schools by State inspectors. Another law will be
brought in to totally abolish the Concordat ; and another
to make civil marriage compulsory. Stormy scenes
may be looked for during the next session of the Reich.

CRIMINALS AND THEIR SENTENCES

Mr. Baker makes some remarks upon the case of
Summers, Bennett, and Smith, at the Middlesex
Sessions. Summers had already been convicted ten
times, Bennett twelve, and Smith three. Notwith-
standing this they were sentenced, the former to five
years' penal servitude, and both the latter to two
years' each. He doubts very much if this easy mode
of dealing with criminals will answer the ends of
justice. It is not likely to be much protection to
the public, or to prevent the commission of crime.
Had the course which Mr. Baker advocates been
adopted, Summers would have been caught in 1855,
and on his fourth conviction he would have been
rendered nearly harmless for life. In this
single case, then, the country would have
been spared six convictions, and many more
undetected crimes. The effect of this system of re-
pression on the boy-thieves of London has been very
great. The adoption of a system of " cumulative
sentences" would prevent the most evil-disposed
from gaining the skill to be a successful thief, or
to corrupt and instruct others.
London, England, 1869-01-14

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
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
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

waA charged with endeavouring to drown herself in
the Thames last night.
Alfred Welding, Policeman 378 B, said that last
night he was on duty at about half-past seven in
Claverton-street, Pimlico, when he saw the prisoner,
who was in Grosvenor-row, get over the iron rail-
ings by the side of the path, and endeavoured to
throw herself into the Thames. He rushed across
the road and arrived just in time to catch her
clothes and prevent her effecting her purpose.

Mr. Arnold—What state was she in ?
Witness—She had some drink, but appeared to
be perfectly sensible of what she was about.
Mr. Arnold—Did she say anything ?
Witness—Yes ; that she intended to commit

suicide.
Mr. Arnold—What is she?

Witness—An unfortunate girl. She was servant
in a family in, Denbigh-street only a few week's
ago, and now she is in the GrOsvenor-road nightly.
Another Constable—l heard her declare last
Tuesday night that she would commit suicide.
Priso❑er—l don't recollect anything much that

A TERRIBLE THREAT.

Pius IX. is, or ought to be, shaking in his shoes.
At the general election the Conservatives, to the
surprise of themselves no less than of their opponents,
succeeded in carrying both seats for Salford. It was
their one large town to which they have ever since
been referring as a proof of the progress of Conser-
vatism among the working classes. There was this
singularity about the election, that 870 electors who
had promised to support the Liberals voted for the
Conservatives. The Liberals believe that this change
is susceptible of a very easy explanation, and they
have petitioned against Messrs. Charley and Cawley
on the ground of bribery. Mr. Charley is
indignant, and he has uttered a terrible threat. He
says "In defending the Church in Ireland, he had
been most careful to avoid giving offence to the
Roman Catholics. It was a difficult thing to do, but
he believed Bishop Turner gave him credit for it.
But he gave them warning that, if they succeeded in
upsetting him, he would make the cry of No
Popery' ring throughout the borough. He
would carry the propaganda of Protestant prin-
ciples through the length and breadth of the land;
he would light a torch which neither Pope nor
Pagan, Manning nor Bradlaugh, would find could be
easily extinguished ; he would take up that torch
which Mr. Gladstone ardently wished to put out—the
torch of Protestant ascendancy, and carry it aloft
wherever he went." Evidently bad times are in store
for " Pope," though we do not exactly see what
" Pagan " has to fear. There is just this consolation
for the first, that if Mr. Charley suppressed his Pro-
testantism in order to win a seat, the expression of it
after losing his seat will seem like insincerity, and
due rather to revenge than to conviction.

THE " COMICS " ON THE IRISH SITUATION.

There is a remarkable similarity and dissimilarity
between the cartoons in Punch and Fun this week.
There is very little humour in either ; they are both
about Ireland, and each contains a figure of
Justice, a portrait of Mr. Gladstone, and a representa-
tion of the " typical Irishman." Here, however,
the similarity ends. Mr. Gladstone is figured in
Punch as offering up the Irish Church as a sacrifice
to Justice, and declaring that the Church is not
sacrificed to Papists or assassins, and he is doing this
at the very moment that the murderer is using his
rifle. Fun's Irishman is an Orangeman waving the
flag of Protestant Ascendancy, who is being banshed
by Harlequin Mr. Gladstone, together with Fenianism,
hoc genus omne, and Mr. Disraeli ; Mr. Gladstone'°
magic wand being " religious equality."
