POLIT;CAL INFLT:INCE IN IRELAND.

Lord Courtown takes decided exception to the
statement of Lord Portsmouth, that for political
influence, in too many instances, Irish landlords
refuse to grant leases. Having lived in Wexford
more or less from his childhood, and having been
mixed up in the political contests which have taken
place !there, Lord Courtown does not hesitate to
say that he has no recollection of ever having heard
any landlord, of even the most extreme political
views, declare that he does not give leases to his
tenants for the sake of political influence over them.
It is true that many landlords do not give leases,
but it is because their estates are better managed
without them.

and is to the effect that documents have been found
near San Buenaventura giving a detailed account of
the circumstances under which the Erebus and the
Terror were abandoned. T crew, it is stated,
wintered at Beachy Island in 1840 and 1847 and
Sir John Franklin died on the llth of June, 1847.
The papers, it is further said, were evidently thrown

THE EDUCATION OF PAUPER CHILDREN.

The Poplar Board of Guardians set an example
which it would be well for other boards to
follow in taking up the important question
of the education of the children of those
who receive out-door relief. Five hundred and
forty of these children are now paid for at a cost of
£564 per annum. They do not, however, receive a
satisfactory education. It was proposed for the
guardians to establish schools of their own with
competent masters and official inspection. It ap-
appears that of 2,465 children at present receiving
relief in Poplar, 040 attend schools. In the East-
end, 14,000 children receive relief, and about one-
third attend schools, at a cost £3,200 per annum. It
is impossible to overrate the importance of the edu-
cation of the children of the poor, and it is satisfac-
tory to see the question practically mooted in a
quarter from which we do not generally expect
movements in the direction of reforms.

THE lIR'DGWATER INQUIRY.

A. striking illustration of the difficulties against
which the commissioners have to contend—au
example showing clearly the kind of witnesses they
have to deal with—has been supplied at Beverley. A
Mr. Barkworth stated that he had given Mr.
Francis Burrell, the landlord of the White Horse Inn,
between £5O and £6O on the Ist Nov., 1867, for the
purposes of bribery. This same Burrell had pre-
viously been twi;:e in the witness-box, and had
adopted the non mi record() style of answering. The
Commissioners thought they had him at last, and
calling him up again, expected a full confession.
This is the way ho met their questions :
Did you receive money for bribery at the municipal
election of 1867?
If I did I do not know.
The Commissioner: That will not do.
Burrell : I do not know that I did.
The Chief Commissioner : That will not do.
Burrell : I do not think I did.
The Commissioner : Did you receive £55 from Mr.
Barkworth on the Ist of November 1867.
Burrell : I do not know that I did.
The Commissioner: You must answer. Did you or did
you not?
Burrell : I can't answer ; I don't know that I did. I
think Mr. Barkworth was mistaken. I do not believe he
gave me any such amount.
The Commissioner : Mr. Barkworth has sworn that he
did give you £5O or £55. Do you deny it?
Burrell : I do not deny it, if he did.
The Commissioner (sharply) : Do you deny it?
Burrell : I d) not.
The Commissioner: What did you do with the money?
Burrell : If he gave me the money, 1 do not know that
he did.

And so the witness went on, admitting that he Might
have received the money, tacitly confessing that he
distributed a sum large or small, but refusing to say
anything committing himself or any other person.
Mr. Justice Blackburn had to warn such another
witness, in one of his inquiries, that no jury would
take his" not remembering" as true.

AFFRAY WITH POACHERS.

A sharp encounter between a number of Baroness
Windsor's gamekeepers and a gang of poachers took
place on Tuesday morning, in a field at Cotton
Hackett. The keepers were watching in a field,
when they saw six men enter, each armed with
a bludgeon, and carrying a bag on his back. They
threw the bags down by the side of a plantation
evidently with a view of commencing further poaching
operations, when the keepers shewed themselves, upon
which some of the poachers exclaimed, " Come on you
we be ready for you." A general fight then ensued,
the poachers throwing stones, which they produced from
their pockets, and using their bludgeons freely. Denley
and William Hemming, two of the keepers, were struck
by the stones, and the latter received a blow from a
bludgeon. John Hemming was struck on the head with
one of the heavy hedgestakes carried by the poachers, of
whom three were overpowered and taken into custody,

the others effecting their escape, but leaving all the bags
behind them, containing 62 rabbits and a hare. The pri-
soners havn been committed for trial•

ing that the candidature of Prince Amadeus, of
Italy, had been agreed upon between one of the
members of the Provisional Government, General
Cialdini, and the French Minister; that the
scheme had also the support of Senor Olzozaga,
at Paris, and was approved by the Emperor
Napoleon.

The Epoca is of opinion that this candidature
will be energetically opposed by the press and by
public opinion.

In the Basque provinces the example of Cata-
lonia has been followEd in offering large sums of

THE YOUNG MEN OF THE PERIOD.

Encouraged by the success which attended the
articles in the Saturday Review on the Girls of the
Period, the Daily Telegraph has started a correspond-
ence on young mexi. The letters are for the most
part exceedingly trite and commonplace, though
true enough. We are told, for instance, what we all
knew before, that young men now like to spend their
money entirely on themselves; shun marriage because
it would deprive them of all their freedom, which
being interpreted means license ; vote the society
of modest women slow, and do their flirting at
casinoes. All this is, unhappily, a stale story, though
it would be a nice question to determine the amount
of responsibility which attaches to each of the two
sexes. The young man does not like the girl of the
period because she is fast and loud ; the girl is fast
and loud because a young man of the period prefers
the society of venal to modest women. Amid the
columns of commonplace which the Telegraph has
published there is, however, one new idea. It is that
the present degradation of young men is due in large
measure to the lower tone of literary men. In the
days of Charles Lamb the wittiest literary men in
London met at one another's houses at family
gatherings—with a leg of mutton,
if
a dinner
were in question ; with punch, not wine, if it were
merely an evening gathering. But now, if we may
believe the outpourings of our literary men, they are
all on the side of the luxurious and the rich ; they
spurn the (to use Wordsworth's expression) " plain
living and the high thinking " of other days. Not
only do they discourse learnedly of the different
kinds of wines that ought to accompany different
courses, but they sneer persistently at anybody who
gives a dinner that is not grand. In fact, they have
and

MADAME .RACHEL.

The Telegraph says :—" The further proceedings in the
case of Madame Rachel will, it is understood, be under the
auspices of the law officers of the Crown. It can scarcely
be expected that Mrs. Borrodaile should incur the ex-
pense consequent on the argument of the writ of error
in the Queen's Bench, and the Treasury has accord-
ingly undertaken the responsibility. The next step is
the assignment of error by Madame Rachel ; but whether
error will ever be assigned at all remains to be
seen. As matters stand, Madame Rachel has the
power— and it is said that she has also the intention— to re-
open her establishment in Bond-street, and again offer to a
criminating public the "dew distilled from the magnetic
rock in the Desert of Sahara " whish so miraculouslyrestores
female beauty. Should the conviction be quashed, how-
ever, the indictment on the file of the Central Criminal
Court will, in point of law, remain still undetermined, and
she may have again to take her trial.

A SAD TALE.

a--

An extraordinary story is told by the Liverpool papers.
About ten o'clock on Saturday morning the body of
lady was found in a brickfield. The body was turned with
the face downwards amidst the clay and water, and was so
firmly imbedded that it was with difficulty itcould be got out.
11 It was removed to the Liverpool deadhouse, where there
were found upon it two bruises—one on the forehead, and
the other under the left jaw. The body was that of a
woman, who appeared to be about 40 years of age. The
body has been identified as that of Mrs. Clara
Jane Linde, who resided at 25, Onslow - road,
Elm Park. She was last seen on Friday night
about ten o'clock with a young man who lodged in
her house. They were then in Kensington, and the
young man says that the deceased left him to speak
to some one, and he did not see her afterwards.
As she had on her person when found a gold
chain, rings, and other valuables, the supposition that
she had been decoyed into the field for the purpose of
robbery seems improbable. The report that a murder bad
been committed was very rife, but the police found no other
otmarks rear the spot except those of the deceased, who
is a widow possessed of £3OO or £4OO a year. The person
referred to as a lodger is connected with very respectable
families in Liverpool, but has "come clown in the world,"
and is now in the employ of one of the omnibus companies.
The inquest has not been held.

GAROTTING.

At the High Court of Justiciary, Edinnurgh, a young
man named William Fawcett, has been found guilty of
an assault with intent to rob in Dundee, in May last, and
was sentenced to five years' penal servitude. In the
course of the evidence the following letter, written by the
prisoner while in Dundee gaol, was read :—"Dundee
Prison, July 18, 1868.—Dear Brother, the only thing I
am afraid of is that moll: if you can manage to square her
I fear nothing ; but if she swears she saw me have him
by the throat it will not go well with me, for they are
most d— down on garotting. Then, again, if she says
she saw him with that amount of money, by heavens they
might put me in for the robbery too, and there is
7 years dead certain. You don't know what a b----
like that will say. It can surely to God be squared between
so many of you, and only the moll to come against me ;
if the block is in town he could be:easily squared, I think,
you could get him sweet, put the gloves on him and things
like that, and get him to say that he cannot swear to me
in court, that would be all that was wanted. Or it is
very easy giving that moll a dose. Put Ginger up to it,
who the 11— would take notice of a w kicking the
bucket? I would do it for you. If any of them is squared
tell Ginger to just sign M. 11. at the bottom of her letter,
so as I may know. I think it would be a good idea for
my mother to get the block privately and make an appeal
to him, he would have a little feeling for her, I think ; if
you was getting him into the Garrick the wifey could
talk to him so fine. If you only had one of them squared
that's all that is wanted, for I am certain there is no more
against me but them two. Set your brains to work and
stick at nothing, tell them not to be afraid of perjury
in this case, they can't be brought in for it no how ;
swear black is white ; I must get off if they do the right
thing ; swear to anything, swear the b— wigs off their
heads, there is no danger of being brought in for perjury
in this case, not a d— bit.—BILL." At the head of
the letter the following was written across the page :
" Poison the moll if she will not do what's right ; by C
I would think d-- little of doing it to save my brother.
Ginger will fix her if you tell her to." The following was
written inside the envelope of the letter :—" They must
not forget about me having a sore hand—that might help
me to, as it would not be very likely I could seize him by
the throat and compress the same, as it is stated in my
commitment ; that will be a good point, I think, he being
a stout man. Tell them to be sure & stick to not seeing
the block, and that I slept in the house that night; not
likely that I could hold him with one hand ; they can
swear that my right hand was very sore, and not fit to be
ttsed anyhow, as it was and no mistake." It came out in
the course of the evidence that the meaning of the word
"block " was " a man whom a woman might pick up in
the street," that " moll" was the name for a woman, and
that "Ginger" was a nickname for one of the female
witnesses.

THE OFFICIAL REFORMS.

The official reforms being carried out just now ant
exciting great interest in the several departments,
There is a healthy feeling, too, which seems to
exist—a wish to interest the public in and make
them acquainted with the nature of the proposed
alterations—matters which, as a rule, readers are
wont to shun. A very interesting letter appears in
.the
Times on the subject. The correspondent suggests
that the reforms, while they are being made, should
go deep enough to remove the chief anomalies of the
service. Not content with merely making changes
within each department, he would redistribute the .
business of each. The instance he gives is that of
rivers and fisheries. All sea fisheries, oyster fisheries,
and mussel fisheries are under the Board of Trade,
The same department is also considered to have
charge of all tidal and navigable rivers and estua-
ries. But the Home Office appoint salmon fishery
inspectors, and all matters connected with salmon
fishery are under that department. The cleansing
and purifying of rivers is presumed to be in the
Home Office ; but the Board of Trade have jurisdic-
tion to deal with the London water companies.
When any reforms in the way of salmon preserving
are suggested—should the said salmon come up a
navigable estuary—the would-be reformer is referred
about from office to office, until he gives up in sheer
.despair. The Times correspondent suggests that
this should be altered. He also contends that Parlia-
ment il:4;erferes too much in the business of each
dep • rtment, 7hich it much increases by the continual
calls for ncedlesl!
returns. Ho promises further
information in a secoi:fl letter.

A correvandent of i;he Star writes protesting
against ilia appointment of Admiral Robinson as
Controller of the Navy. Ho declares that he has no
knowledge of shipbuilding, and that the only good
which he can accomplish will be in acting as buffer
to weaken the shock which the Minister might
perhaps receive by direct contact with Mr. Reed. In
the same way direct communication bet Teen the
Minister and the Accountant-General is prevented
by a lord, who will act simply as a "go-between."
It is only the perpetuation of the system which makes
no one responsible, keeps each officer in the dark as
to what every body else is doing, and creates a
round-about, in-and-out process of working, which
puzzles all who cannot deeply study it

REMARKS.

The changes in barometrical pressure in these islands since yester-
day have been slight. A decrease has occurred at the entrance of the
Channel and on the French coast, but in Scotland there has been a
slight recovery. Readings are very uniform. Temperature is not
much altered. Winds on the southern coasts and the W. of France
have again drawn to the south-eastward ; but are fresh to strong
from south in Ireland, and light from S. to S.W. elsewhere. The
sky continues overcast, with misty weather. The sea is high at
Valencia.

With regard to the Norwich murder, it is now
announced that the remains, preserved in spirits of wine, at
the Guildhall, Norwich, were disinterred this morning for
further medical examination. The prisoner's solicitor was
present at the disinterment.

The inhabit-ants of some villages in Suffolk were
the other day startled from their propriety by a shock re-
sembling that of an earthquake. Various descriptions have
been given of the occurrence which differ in detail, but no
doubt seems to exist as to the nature of the disturbance
which took place.

The Echo is enabled to state that the Prince of
Wales has abandoned his intention of visiting Athens, owing
to the political prospect. After leaving Vienna he will
proceed via Trieste to Alexandria, where, among other per-
sons, the Royal party will be joined by Dr. W. 11. Russell
and Professor O.WCH.

We regret to find that another death has resulted
from the colliery accident at Rainford, leaving only cne sur-
vivor of the seven men who were burned last Thursday.
The inquest on the six bodies was opened on Thursday, but
as it was stated that it might be several months before the
bodies of the two men who fell down the shaft could be re-
covered and the workings examined, the inquest was ad-
journ ed for a month.

Le married two wives, and thus committed bigamy; his
seat ell after divine truth was so energt tic that he stole a

the evidence justified committal. The man pleaded his re-
spectability, and au acquaintance with a number of Parlia-
ment, but these did not avail him. •

The Dublin Evening Post reports that three privates
of the GGth Regiment, who were on Sued ty
night on guard duty at Richmond Barracks, were
found on Monday morning to have deserted during
the night. What renders the desertion rather sus-
picions is the fact that the three men took with them
their arms, accoutrements, and a quantity of ammunition.
No trace of their whereabouts has yet been obtained.
