CHARITY.

Dr. Tresham Gregg, a more remarkable person
even than his namesake, the Bishop of Cork, of
``—" notoriety, has been making a speech of two
hours and a half in behalf of the resuscitation of an
old Dublin charity. The speech and the object of
it were grotesquely dissimilar. The text was love to
men, the sermon was a long curse of all and sundry.
The following will serve as specimens :—" Gladstone
is a criminal assailant of the honour of the
Queen." The "delinquency" of Gladstone and his
adviser, Sir John Gray, " will be published in the four
quarters of the earth until they are ashamed." " The
fons et orig.° malorion " is Trinity College, Dublin,
because it dares to doubt if the Church is unanimous
in considering the Pope to be the man of sin. "Tor
twenty-five years Arclabiihop Whately had attenu-
ated the powers of the Irish clergy, and when he
found any man of power he marked him as a man

-VELOCIPEDE DERBY AT THE CRYSTAL

PALACE.

The velocipede is certainly advancing at a rapid pace.
Not content with the progress it had already made, it had
on Thursday a Derby day of its own at the Crystal Palace.
There was one terrible drawback to a full enjoyment of the
occasion. It rained almost from the first moment to the
last while the races were being run. Even an Epsom
Derby day suffers from bad weather, and only the more
enthusiastic visitors can bear up against the depressing
effects of cold win d and driving rain. No wonder, therefore,
that this Velocipede Derby was affected in a similar
manner by a similarcause. There was certainly no lack of
inducements for velocipedists to enter the lists. A gold
medal, or work of art, value £lO, for the first prize ; a
silver medal, or work of art, value £5, for the second
prize ; and a bronze medal, or work of art, value £3, for
the third prize, made up of themselves a respectable pro-
gramme. 'then, too, in the race which was " open to all
Englishmen," a velocipede of the value of £l5 was to await
the victor at the winning-post, and medals value £7 and
£4 were also to be given. The first event of the day, if
we may be allowed in such a case to use sporting parlance,
was divided into three heats. In these subdivisions
Monsieur Biot, Mr. Rowlett, and Mr. H. Edwards were
returned respectively as the winners. In the final heat for
the prize awarded to the victor in the race, M. Bit reached
the winning post considerably in advance of his rivals. It
must be remarked with regard to the success of this gen-
tleman that, while our French neighbours have been
acquainted with the bicycle for years, the English gentle-
men who competed on Thursday, were amateurs, both
as regards profession and practice. In the first heat of
the second race, Canham, a comparative boy, who, we
understand, is employed on the Palace grounds, out-
stripped all his competitors, but in the final heat disap-
pointed the anticipations of those who had witnessed his
first performance. Mr. Turner won the first prize in this
contest, Mr. Hook and Mr. Adams, who directed their
bicycles with great skill and velocity, obtaining second
and third places respectively.

OUR FOOD PROSPECTS.

The Pall Mall Gazette takes credit to itself that,
in an article published about a year ago, it indulged
in somewhat confident predictions as to a coming
period of cheap bread. Those predictions, says our
contemporary, have been verified even to a greater ex-
tent than it expected ; for the average price of wheat
has declined from 745. 2d. to 445. 9d. per quarter,
shewing that wheat is now nearly 30s. per quarter
lower than it was twelve months since. The ques-
tion next arises, What are the prospects of the
future ? and the answer is that they are excellent.
The growing wheats generally present a favourable
appearance in France; and when bread is plentiful in
France it is cheap in Europe. In our own
country also the appearance of the fields
is encouraging. The contemplated reduction of the
ls, now levied on corn imported into the United
Kingdom must have the effect of rendering foreign
supplies generally Is. per quarter cheaper. Of course
a war with the United States would very much alter
the aspect of affairs. Such a war would stop all
wheat supplies from the States, and probably from
British America also. To remove the large Ameri-
can supplies from the British wheat markets would
be a serious matter, although the progress of agri-
culture in Russia and Hungary might perhaps prove
to a considerable extent, if not altogether, a compen-
sation. On the whole, it is satisfactory to know that
there is every reason to believe that we shall still
be able to enjoy the blessings of a cheap loaf.

TIIE EMIGRATION OF DOCKYARD LABOURERS.

A correspondent at Quebec, who writes to the
Times, expresses surprise that dockyard labourers
and artizans should be about to be shipped off to
Canada. The shipbuilding trade there is declining ;
-a surplusage of labourers already exists ; the wages
are very low indeed ' • trades unions are very strong;
and the prospect of that kind of labour is very poor
indeed. Warm clothing has been very carefully
provided for these emigrants to wear in a country in
which the temperature at this time of the year is
higher than in England.

THE MONEY MARKET.

The Economist approves the conduct of the Bank
directors in not raising the rate of discount last
week. Our contemporary says "at present the posi-
tion is the exact contrary to that, on which we
remarked last week. Then the public were thronging
on the Bank, because no one else had anything to
lend, and they were in a great hurry, because they
feared if they stayed at all they would be charged
more. But now the general public have got more
money than they want. In their haste they have
outstripped their wants. Accordingly the private
deposits have increased, because the merchants who
have discounted their bills place the money at their
bankers. In consequence, the outer' market is for
the moment comparatively rich, while last week it
was exceedingly poor."

SIR SAMUEL BAKER'S EXPEDITION.

The Telegraph gives some interesting information
concerning Sir Samuel Baker's expedition to the
Nile. It contains some startling statements. We
lire told that he is going at the head of a small army,
admirably equipped, which will, no doubt, be fitted
in all ways to serve its master, the Viceroy of Egypt.
He will also have a small - flotilla of well-armed
river vessels. The Viceroy means to annex the whole
of the White Nile territory. In doing so he intends
to abolish the traffic in slaves, which is at present
the great curse of that region so highly favoured by
nature. To accomplish his purposes he has secured
the services of Sir Samuel Baker, who has accepted
the command in an earnest and humane spirit. The
Telfgraph goes on to say that " it is probable that his
mission will not be accomplished without the neces-
sity of severe fighting with some of the tribes to
whose homes he wil penetrate." The Tele-
graph is of opinion that if war is necessary,
Sir Samuel will certainly be in the right; but
it by no means follows ; and at any rate we hope
that he will go to obtain more territory for the
Khedive under the protection of that sovereign, and
not claim the arms of England to support him in
his expedition. The distinguished explorer left
England on the sixth inst.

THE CONVERSION OF THE JEWS.

The Rev. Richard Parrott, the vicar of Amwell,
writes to the DeiN News on the conversion of the
Jews I have always tbought," he says, " that of
all shams that of the Society for the Conversion of
the Jews' is the greatest that could be palmed
upon a British public. It has been calculated
that it costs £lO,OOO to convert one Jew, and then it
is doubtful whether his conversion is genuine or not.
I hold that we have no special mission to the Jews
at all. Would the society 1. indly give the names
and addresses of all those Jews that have been
converted to Christianity within the last twelve
months ? "

OUR. YOUNG 11E 110E3.

The "golden youth" have been •at it again.
Pigeons by the dozen have fallen victims to their
prowess. This was the more creditable to their
•valour, because, the wind being high, " the odds
were considerably in favour of the birds getting
away to die." • In spite of this formidable ally in the
person of iEolus, nobles and M.P.'s and gallant officers
came off grandly victorious. The electors of Wey-
mouth will be glad to learn that their representative
is not only against the disestablishment of the Irish
Church, and" against the adoption of the Ballot if it
can possibly be avoided," but is also one of the
greatest pigeon-killers of the day. But while
Captain Charles Joseph Theophilus Hambro slew
his thousands, Viscount Holmesclale slew his tens of
thousands. Isis lordship " displayed fine form for
the fifth event, when ho killed ten in succession."
No doubt his lordship's experience induced him to
think that slaying pigeons at Hurlingham Park was

London, England, 1869-05-17

It is a, very si,renineant sign of the progress of free-trade
principles in the United States that a great majority of
the best journals are either opposed to p_-otection orremain
neutral. But a short time ago Free Trade was denounced
by almost the entire press of the Union. The Tribune.
indeed, still remains the same savage advocate of a
high tariff. It still denounces the free traders
as traitors whohave been "boughtby the gold of Britisbers"
to betray their country. It still spreads abroad the idea
that English manufacturers have raised a fund from which
subsidies are paid to American journals and American
statesmen as a reward fur advocating the reduction of the
tariff.• Oniy a few days since it most offensiely and
calumniously charged Mr. Wells, the late Commis-
sioner of the Inland lierenue, and the author of
the famous report which so irrefutably exposed
the mischief of the protective tariff, with accept-
ing bribes from England. Of 'course such libels
only injure the cause they are mistakenly meant to
sepport. Eve.ryl»dy knows that if the free-traders of
America wait for subsidies from British manufacturers
they are likely to put up with Protection kr ever.
But with the exception of the demented Tribune, not a
single New York paper still contends for high duties.
All the rest either advocate Free Trade, or remain
silent. The same may be said of the provincial papers,
especially those in the Western States, the latter fact
being of especial importance, as the' Western States now
hold the balance of political power. The Chicago Tribune,
a paper which holds much the same position in Western
America as the Scotsman in North Britain, has opened
the free-trade campaign in the great States of Illinois,
lowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Nor is the East idle,
as witness the League formed at Boston, hitherto the
great centre of Protection.
London, England, 1869-05-17

FREE TRADE IN AMERICA.

(From the Anglo-American Times.)
General SCHENCK'S visit to Europe has this sig-
nificance, that he is the Chairman of Ways and
Means, on whom rests so much of the fiscal policy
of the United States ; and it is not improbable that
he desires to traverse the same European ground as
Special Commissioner WELLS to acquaint himself
with the facts which tended so much to colour that
gentleman's Report. The coining battle in America
is Free Trade versus Pr)tection. The latter is in
possession of the citadel, and is strong in the affec-
tion and faith of the people in its doctrines. This
question was one of the si le issues involved in
the great civil strife, and that the Confederates
fought for Free Trade does not recommend it to
the mass of the na7ion, nor that this was in a mea-
sure the reason why English sympathy was given to
that side. Butsentitnent cannot outweigh argument,
and if the doctrines of the Protectionists be false,
this must appear sooner or later in their working.
However imaginative and sentimental, Americans
are nevertheless an eminently practical people ; and
if, which we bY no means assert, the Free-traders
can prove their opponents to be upholding an error
injurious to the country, the beginning of the end
of Protection dawns. The arguments on either
sidenre plausible,. and nokunfrequently very strong ;
but although England-professes to have solved the
problem, and to have proved her solution by a
career of marvellous prosperity in an old, blocked-

SPAIN.

The'fundamental article of the Spanish Constitution--
the 23rd--providing for the form of Government, is now
wider discussion. Until the long debate on this great
question is decided nothing can be known respecting the
future ruler of Spain. But the Libcrtci has reason to
believe that the project of a regency under Serrano, with
Prim at the head of the Ministry, is likely to be adopted.
If the motion to establish a republic be rejected, the
Republicans will support the regency scheme as avoiding
the immediate nomination of a king, and therefore post-
poning, the final settlement of the form of Government. A
regency would still leave a chance fora republic. A kiap.
would finally dispose of the question.

OPERAT IC PERFORMANCE

A grand concert and operatic performance was
given by a very distinguished party of ladies and
gentlemen, forming the Winslow Corps of Ama-
teurs, at the Town-hall, Buckingham, on Tuesday,
which, owing to its extreme excellence, deserves a
record amongst the musical events of the present
season. The first part of the entertainment was
the concert, and the local journals speak in the
highest terms of the singing of Mr and Mrs. C..
G. Boisragon, Mrs. C. F. Varley, and Mr. M. S.
Lowndes. Mr. Boisragon is specially singled
out for his admirable rendering of Ros-
sini's celebrated buffo aria, " Largo al Fac-
totum," which, it is said, was given with a spirit
and effect rarely equalled. Mrs. Varley and Mrs.
Boisragon also took high honoura for the purity

k, which
and Mr. s

Lowndesbeau
ai fnug p
l duet,ib
den's celebrated song, " Tom Bowling," with the
utmost taste and feeling. We cannot devote con-
siderable space to the proceeding, but we must
find room to mention the spirit with which
the favourite operetta "No Song no Sup-
per" was performed. Mr. Morecraft's Crop was,
capitally done, and-so was the part of Endless, by
Mr. Midgeley. Robin and Dorothy were repro-
sented by Mr. and Mrs. Boisragon, and, in addition
to the vivacity they each infused into their respec-
tive parts, sang a new duet, composed by Mrs.
Boisragon, entitled "Man's best without a wife,"
which was introduced into the operetta, and called
forth the most enthusiastic applause. Apart from the
evening's performance the duet deserves the highest
commendation as a =laical composition, and such
is the excellence of it that it will most certainly
find its way to the metropolis, where it will be
sure to elicit as much applause as it did when its
talented composer and her husband sang it fur the
first time at the Town-hall, Bulkinghain.
