CABINET CHANGES IN WASHINGTON.

(From the Anglo-American Times.)
It is amusing to read the article in the Times of
Thursday on President GRANT and his Cabinet. In
Printing-house-square its man in Philadelphia is

still an oracle, and in its innocence the Times

prints leaders on the text of his sayings. General
GRANT thought he was going to be a strong Presi-
dent, but he finds himself a weak one ; he thought
he was going to rule ia his Cabinet, but he finds

that his Cabinet is to rule him ; he knew that it
would be a war to the knife with the rings, backed

by the class of politicians wbo make the rings, but
these men prove to be his masters, and have recon-

structei his Cabinet. By a chain of reasoning the
Times arrives at the conclusion that, however poor

a thing a European monarchy may be, a still poorer
thing is an American Republic. The impression

it desires to convey is that Mr. STEWART* was
GRANT'S choice for Secretary of the Treasury, but

that the politicians ousted STEWART in favour of
BOUTWELL, a man of their own. Their chief rea-

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

THE LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION.

Echoes—a weekly sheet of gossip not to be CM-
founded with the Echo, the new halfpenny evening
paper—announces that Mr. Disraeli is to be raised to
the peerage at the end of the session with the title of
Viscount Beaconsfield, Mr. Hardy taking the place of
leader of the Lower House. Who is to raise him?
Is Mr. Gladstone supposed to be magnanimous
enough thus to serve a political opponent?

and—cainiiit be kept under proper mseipunc, Luv
steamers thus manned being often deserted when a
foreign port is reached. Mr. Carnegie advises that
all seagoing steamers should be forced to carry
apprentices. It is only fair that the owners of
steamers should train up a supply of able seamen in
their own ships, instead of taking the crews reared
in the sailing vessels. Under the old Mercantile
Marine Act all vessels were properly compelled to
carry a sufficient number of apprentices, and it will
inflict no hardship to enforce the same rule now.

THE STRAITS OF DOVER TUNNEL.

Mr. rtemington, C.E., has written to the Echo a letter,
in which he advocates his scheme for the construction of
a submarine tunnel between the coasts of England and
France. He states that he prepared plans and
sections as far back as 1865, and has every year
since deposited fresh copies with the Board of Trade.
Perhaps Mr. Bright will think the subject as well
worthy of a letter as " bottle-nosed whales," and may
give the author his views upon the project. Mr. Reming-
ton thinks it useless to attempt the formation of a
tunnel through the chalk bed about Dover and
Folkestone. But he states that the work might be
accomplished through the beds of wealden-clay, lime-
stone, and freestone extending from Dungeness
to Cape Grinez. His line would commence at the town of
Lydd, joining the branch of the South-Eastern at
Appledore. He proposes to have three main shafts—
one at Dungeness, one in the shoal called "The Ridge,"
and a third at Cape Grinez. The total cost of
the tunnel and works he estimates at £6,008,200.
He takes the traffic of the Paris Exhibition year and
multiplies by four to get at his estimate of returns.
The income he derives is from 2,000,000 passengers,
4,000,000 tons of goods, 752,00) head of stock
of all kinds, a trifle from poultry, and some-
thing from Post Office and telegraph service. The
probable income from all these sources he estimates at
£1,625,900, from which, to arrive at the residue of profit,
he deducts 40 per cent. for working expenses, leaving a
show of profit nearly amounting to a million sterling. We
see all the advantages of the work, and are inclined to
think its accomplishment possible ; but we don't share
Mr. Remington's vision of profit, and we fear that Mr.
Lowe is not the man to give him a subsidy of £5,000,000.

THE ACCUSED AT COItONEIt'S INQUESTS.

That continually recurring question, Should a man
accused of murder be summoned before the coroner's
jury ? has now arisen at Wednesbury. The inquest
on Hall, the man charged with the brutal murder of
a woman, is being held, and the coroner appealed
to the magistrates to allow him to have the
prisoner before him. They refused, and committed
the man for trial. The coroner adjourned his court
and appealed to the Home Secretary. 111 r. Bruce,-in
reply, repeats over again the by this time well-known
law, that he has no power to do so. Surely coroners
ought to have learnt, after so many decisions, that
they have no strict right to have the man before
them ; when they do so it is only as a privilege on
Account of the wish of the prisoner.

THE SCOTCH EDLTATION BILL.

The schoolmasters of Scotland are very indignalt
at the education bill of the Government. They
declare that they are not for a moment consulted,
and that the bill is likely to degrade the tone of
teaching throughout the country. They object most
strenuously to the application of the Revised
Code to Scotland; and the Scotch papers
are filling their columns with meetings pro-
testing against it. Tho schoolmasters say that
as the Code does not require any standard of relgious
teaching, religion is likely to go to the wall. This is
an attempt of the masters to make common friends
in opposition to the bill with the ministers and
deacons at the kirk across the way. Next they
object that the only qualifications required for a boy
to pass, the inspector are those which may be or must
be inducted by routine. The training of the intellect
is taken as nothing ; boys are to be taught to read,
write, and - cipher, but not to think and know.
This is an argument intended for the parents. Next
the schoolmasters protest on their own account. No
security is made for their salary ; no retiring allow-
ances is provided; no tenure of office is laid down;
nor is there any guarantee that the present burgh
and parochial schoolmasters will be elected national
schoolmasters ; the masters are insufficiently repre-
sented at the board ; and payment by results is most
disastrous. Some of the meetings favour compulsory
education ; others advocate " the entire freedom of
the subject ; " and in others the question is
avoided.

DYING DECLARATIONS.

Mr. Baron Cleasby, in a charge of murder against
a midwife, which was brought before him at the
Sheffield Assizes, on Monday, decided an important
question. When the case was before the magistrates,
the principle evidence against the accused was the
statement of the deceased taken shortly before her
death ; but when it was attempted to put in the
examination at the assizes objection was taken to its
admission, on the ground that at the time it was
made the deceased was not impressed with the belief
that death was imminent, and, therefore, that her
statement was not of the nature of a dying declara-
tion. Baron Cleasby, considering the objection well
founded, excluded the evidence, and as upon it the
prosecution relied for a conviction, the case broke
down, and a verdict of acquittal was entered.

THE IRISH CHURCH.

Notwithstanding the largeness of the majority in
favour of Mr.. Gladstone's Irish Church Bill, the
question at issue has not been set at rest by the
division. Easter has brought no truce to the battle,
and the journals are still full of argument, illustration,
and controversy respecting disestablishment and disen-
dowment. The Standard has a letter from " An.
Irish Protestant," a column in length ; and a corres-
pondent of the Morning Post on the same day fills
two columns with reasons against the measure.
He thinks that it is a fundamental error of Mr.
Gladstone's bill that he regards tithes, glebe
lands, and all ancient possessions of the Anglican
clergy as if they were grants by the nation through
its Parliament for the services of this particular
religion. The writer maintains that the Anglican
Church was not set up as a separate Church, in an-
tagonism to Rome, but was a continuance of
the old Church under limits and restrictions.
He argues, tool that the right and interest of
congregations in parochial tithes and parochial
endowments are totally ignored by the bill. The Irish
Protestant bases his opposition chiefly upon the
terms of the Act of Union, which, he considers, the
English Parliament has no right to alter, as it is
only one of the contracting parties, and no Parlia-
ment can abrogate a treaty entered into with another
sovereign State. Unfortunately for this theory the
Act of Union has already been infringed more than
once.

THE WEATHER.

Mr. E. J. Lowe, writing from llighfield House
Observatory, near Nottingham, calls attention to the
extraordinary fall of snow which occurred on Easter
Sunday. It continued, without ceasing, from 7 a.m.
till 2.55 p.m., and fell with great violence from
10 a.m. till noon. The thickness on the ground was,
at 8 a.m., lin. ; at 11 a.m., 52in. ; noon, 51in. ; 12.30
p.m., 7in. The water on the lake was covered ltin.
deep with half-melted snow, through which the
waterfowl moved with difficulty. The snow fell in a
calm, and the trees were laden four and five inches
deep, and some red cedars (18 feet high) were so bent
as to touch the ground. The wire wheel of Mr.
Lowe's electrometer, which has withstood the snows
and storms of 20 years, was broken by the weight of
the snow. The temperature varied from 32 deg. to
30 deg.

FAMINE IN RUSSIA,

Last year's sorching, drouthy summer has been succeeded
in Russia by a mild, wet winter. The latter season has
but enhanced the calamities of the first. We in England
always consider a severe winter the greatest calamity that
can happen to our vast pauper population ; but in Russia
a severe winter is a blessing, for it gives the inhabi-
tants firm roads and highways in places which,
when the frost is gone, are inaccessible. This
year there has been a premature thaw, and so ib has
been found impossible to convey food to the districts which,
owing to last summer's short crops, sorely needed sup-
plies. The consequence is that multitudes are dying of
famine, and the Russian Government, always on the look-
out to advance its one great purpose—the bringing all
parts of Russia into intercommunication —is urging
English capitalists to invest in Russian railways as an act of
Philanthropy as well as a matter of business. Railways,
it is announced, are to he made to Finland at once. Of
course in such a sparsely-peopled country they can never
pay, but the Russian Government guarantees the divi-
dend, and that Government has always been far tooshrewd
to think of breaking faith with its creditors even when at
war with thorn. Give us your gold to make our iron
highways, it says, and then we can do what we please in
India and at Constantinople.

CLERGY AND ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS BILL.

The council of the Church Association have
examined the provisions of the Clergy Discipline and
Ecclesiasticl Courts Bill presented to the House of
Lords by the Archbishop of Canterbury. They
recognise its merits, but give the preferenceto the bill
recently presented by Lord Shaftesbury. They trust
that by mutual arrangement the country may secure
the ben etas so much required. Some of the chief defects
in the proposal of the Archbishop are pointed out,
and it is said that certain provisions are of a retro-
grade character. The laity will be worse off than
they are now by the arrangements of this bill, and
in any case of unsound or erroneous doctrine great
difficulty will be found in taking proceedings. After
mentioning some other defects in the scheme, the
council feel compelled to urge their friends to pre-
sent petitions in favour of Lord Shaftesbury's mea-
sure, as• being the best calculated to secure the
interests they have at heart.

christening. Henry.M. Steele, partner of _a largd
dry-goods firm, committed suicide at No. 1, Irving-
place. He had been drinking hard, and, had been
divorced from his wife, which had caused much un-
happiness.. The Legislature has appointed a com-
mittee of seven to investigate the affairs of the New
York Central, Erie and Hudson River Railroad
Companies. The seven members are Bemus,
Sal-
kreg, IVelker, Gleason, Ely, Sufferin, and Jacobs.
General 0. E. Babcock, late of General Grant's
staff, left for Washington yesterday. Miss Susan
Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton have drawn
into their net some German ladies and gentlemen
who are going to back up the Revolution by a Ger-
man weekly paper, to be called the New Era, Die
New Zeit, with a subscribed capital of $5,000,
raised by the issue of 1,000 shares at $5 each. The
Germans are going in strongly for Woman Suf-
frage, and Chicago is likely to rival New York as a
centre of agitation on this subject. You may take
it for granted that before long the women of the
United States will be as free to vote as the men.
Senator Tweed has introduced a bill into our State
Legislature to increase the construction of railroads
in this city. The one proposed is to commence at
Burlington-slip, through South-street, to Catherine,
Bowery, Spring, Greenwich, Christopher, Wash-
ington, West, Tenth-avenue, and Thirty-second»
street; returning along Tenth-avenue, West,
Christopher, Washington, Spring, Bowery, Chat-
ham-square, James, South, to the place of start-
ing. The corporators are Henry Smith, George
M'Mullen; John B. Greene, George W. Butt,
James M. Sweeney, and many others, while
Mr. Kennedy introduced anpther bill to permit
W. H. Williams, W. G. D. D. Cam-
bell, A. S. Foster, L. S. Lawrence, D. C.
Littlejohn, and others, to construct and operate an
elevated railroad along the following streets :-
1 From South Ferry. and Whitehall-street to Bowling-
! green, Broadway, Union.,square, Union-square-
park, Broadway, Sixth-avenue, Fifty-ninth-street,
to Fifth-avenue, and westerly to Eighth-avenue,
Fifth-avenue, and Eighth-avenue, to Harlem River.
Corporate stock to he $25.000,000. The road bed
to be elevated 13 feet above the streets and avenues.
The weather has changed from the late bitter cold,
and some warm showers have fallen, which will help
to break up the ice and open the navigation to Al-
! bany. It looks now more prDmising, though the
cold snap has greatly interfered with the river navi-
gation. Two steamers, as an addition to the Ame-
rican vessels on the China rivers, left on Thursday
for Shanghai. The Walrus is commanded byCapt.
Watson, and the Nautilus by Capt. Hodges. They
are not new vessels, having been built for the Phila-
delphia trade, but they are the finest steamers sent
by the United States to China. They are each 240
feet long, 46 feet in beam, and are owned by
Messrs. Russell and Co., the American merchants
of Shanghai.

WASHINGTON, March 12.

PROGRESS IN TURKEY.

The visit of Sultan Abdul Aziz to this country in 1867
seems to have produced some impression upon his Majesty's
not very susceptible mind. He has learnt that all the
world is not Mahometan, that Christians can fight no less
than the followers of the Prophet. He has determined,
therefore, to confer upon the first the privilege of defending
the Father of the Faithful. During the Crimean war, and
notwithstanding the extent of the danger they were in, the
Turks preferred to bear all the military charges, and to
be decimated rather than have the infidels as auxiliaries.
Very recently the Sultan was able to form a guard of
honour composed of Christian young men, and the new
Seraskier has resolved to extend that organisation to the
whole empire. It is in contemplation to constitute an
army of reserve, to be composed not only of the actual
reserve forces, the rcdifs, but also of the Christians, Jews,
and men of every religion and race subjects of the Sultan.
A contract has been made with an American house to
supply these troops with 150;000 rifles.

THE ACCUSED AT CORONER'S INQUESTS.

. That continually recurring question, Should a man
accused of murder be summoned before the coroner's
fury ? has now arisen at Wednesbury. The inquest
on Hall, the man charged with the brutal murder of
a woman, is being held, and the coroner appealed
to the magistrates to allow him to have the
prisoner before him. They refused, and committed
the man for trial. The coroner adjourned his court
and appealed to the Home Secretary. Mr. Bruce, in
reply, repeats over again the by this time well-known
law, that he has no power to do so. Surely coroners
ought to have learnt, after so many decisions, that
they have no strict right to have the man before
them; when they do so it is only as a privilege on
account of,the wish of the prisoner.

SPIRITS FROM BEETROOT.

The hidden riches of beetroot have not even yet
been disclosed. The Chamber of Agriculture Journal
is informed that where beet sugar-making is profit-
able, beetroot spirit-making is even more profitable;
and that on soils and in climates where the quantity
of saccharine matter yielded by the roots is too
small to be • worth extracting, distillation of
alcohol may, nevertheless, be a money-making
business. And in proof of this assertion, the fact
is pointed out that large numbers of beetroot-sugar
works in Prussia, Austria, and France, have been
lately converted into distilleries. "We are quite
aware" says our contemporary, " that spirit-making
from beetroot has been tried in this country, and
has failed. But so has sugar-making ; and the very
authorities who formerly satisfied themselves that
the business could not pay are now warmly congratu-
lating the British public upon the advent of this new
help to the farmer, and hope to the underpaid agri-
cultural labourer. This is because inventors will
keep on improving upon processes and apparatus.
And for just the same reason the failure of beet
tillation years ago ceases to tell against the profit-
ableness of that branch of industry at the present
moment." Our contemporary does not seem to
understand that the increased consumption of spirits
means the increased impoverishment of the con-
sumers. These new distilleries will be a sorry gift to
the British agricultural labourer.

THE SCOTCH EDUCATION BILL.

The schoolmasters of Scotland are very indignant
at the education bill of the Government. They
declare that they are not for a moment consulted,
and that the bill is likely to degrade the tone of
teaching throughout the country. They object most
strenuously to the application of the Revised
Code to Scotland; and the Scotch papers
are filling their columns with meetings pro-
testing against it. The schoolmasters say that
as the Code does not require any standard of religious
teaching, religion is likely to go to the wall. This is
an attempt of the masters to make common friends
in opposition to the bill with the ministers and
deacons at the kirk across the way. Next they
object that the only qualifications required for a boy
to pass the inspector are those which may be or must
be inducted by routine. The training of the intellect
is taken as nothing; boys are to be taught to read,
write, and cipher, but not to think and know.
This is an argument intended for the parents. Next
the schoolmasters protest on their own account. No
security is made for their salary ; no retiring allow-
ances is provided ; no tenure of office is laid down ;
nor is there any guarantee that the present burgh
and parochial schoolmasters will be elected national
schoolmasters ; the masters are insufficiently repre-
sented at the board ' • and payment by results is most
disastrous. Some of the meetings favour compulsory
education ; others advocate " the entire freedom of
the subject ; " and in others the question is
avoided.

THE WICKLOW PEERAGE.

"Ellen Howard" writes to the Times respecting
the controversy about the Wicklow • peerage. She
complains that, on the death of her husband, she
was subjected to every annoyance which detectives
could inflict upon her, and that she vainly applied to
Sir Richard Mayne for protection. She is indignant
with Lord Wicklow for desiring her to prove the
legitimacy of her child in the Court of Probate, and
also for refusing to grant her a personal interview..

INIEUCHANT SHIPPING.

Mr. Carnegie, of Bishopsgate-street, writes fo he
Times on the acts relating to shipping, and points
out some of the existing 'evils. In the first place, he
recommends that steam and sailing ships should
be dealt with separately, instead of being, as
now, placed on the same footing. He
thinks that great improvements might be made in
the victualling system of foreign traders, especially
the steam ones. The men suffer greatly from the
faulty system that prevails, and business is interfered
with in some cases. It is also most inexpedient toengage
crews_by the week.forithe men IQae all esprit de corps,
