DISHONEST PAWNBROKERS.

The Earl of Shaftesbury spore very severely a
night or two back in the House of Lords on the sub-
j ect of dishonest pawnbrokers. His lordship did his best
tomake his hearers understand that these arethe men
who foster our criminals, and that as such they art
enemies of society. Nor did he confine his remarks
to the very lowest class, but expressed his opiniol
that more respectable men, as the world
goes, were amongst the delinquents. For this he
was called to account by the first pawnbroker of the
metropolis—Mr. Attenborough—who defended his
cloth with ardour. Lord Shaftesbury, in reply, say*
he has no doubt the majority of the pawnbroker?
carry on their business uprightly. He referred.
moreover, in this particular speech to general dealers
as well as to pawnbrokers. Ile declines to retract hi,
statement, as he thinks it to be true.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.

We are in Lent, and the gayest season known
in New York for a long time has come to a close.
Masquerades have been the order of the night, about
a third of the hundred great public balls having
been in fancy dress. If New York now puts on sack-
cloth and ashes, it will not be before it wants some
such covering, but I am pretty sure it only intends
to go from one extravagance into another, and
when the first lady with a Grecian bend is offered
this attire, may Ibe there to see. One extravagance
I can tell you about, and that was at St. Albans
and Christ Church, Fifth-avenue, on Ash Wednes-
day. Our St. Albans has just imported a reverend
gentleman from your St. Albans. What he did I
do not know, for I was not there, as I did not care
to see. We have another little sensation at the
same time to keep us alive. Notwithstanding the
Vigilance Committee the thieves are carrying all
before them, and the audacity of some of their
operations is almost ludicrous. Not long age a
clerk put a large bundle of greenbacks on the
counter of the bank into which he was paying them.
Down came the hand of the loafer next him, and away
thf,y all went before the astonished eyes of the
crowd. Then commenced the chase now so com-
mon in New York. On the morning of the 16th
such a chase was maintained from Mr. Davies's
house at the corner of Throop and Myrtle-avenue
after a burglar who fired six pistol shots during
the pursuit, but when running not being the time to
make good practice, so the pursuer escaped harm,

THE EVILS OF COMPETITION.

The exceedingly old discussion on the merits of
the prize system at public schools threatens to crop
up again. Instead, however, of the old ground
being taken, the effect of strife on the morals and
disposition of the scholars, the disputants have
chosen a new battle-field, and are now fight-
ing on the question of health. Dr. Bence Jones,
writing to the Times, pointed out that boys
and youths were continually failing in body
and mind in consequence of over study. To this
"A. Head-70 L;,r " replies that the effect is such in
a school th rq now-a-days cannot afford to dig-
pense with the system Dr. Jones condemns. "If a
master gives prizes, not only to the first or second
boy of a moderate form who has distinguished him-
self in classics, but also for mathematics, for history
and geography, for modern languages, for natural
science, and for Scriptural knowledge, there are a
very few boys in a well-worked school who do not feel
the effects of such encouragement, and who do not in
their time gain, or, at least, comenearto gaining, aprize
in one of these subjects. Thus the general spirit of
work is awakened and encouraged, and is felt even
by those who fail of gaining the first place." The
fact is that life in this country of late years has be-
come terribly in earnest ; the passion for getting on
has seized most powerfully upon all classes ; and he
who will not recognise this, and strive to his utmost,
finds himself ere long behind those who are really
his equals. The passion, good in many respects,
most disastrously evil in others, is inculcated with
the first lessons in reading and writing. Maybe, as
the Spectator has predicted, the passion, having
reached its height, will soon begin to decline.

EYDE PARK,

Mr. COWPER asked whether the large accumula-
tion of refuse from brick-kilns that now cover the green
slopes of Hyde-park over the lower end of the Serpentine
had been placed there in the hope that they would imitate
rock work, or, if not, for what purpose it had been placed
there ?

Mr. LAYA RD said there was certainly no intention to
imitate rock work over what the hon. gentleman in
poetical language called the green slopes of Hyde-park,
which were, in fact, the muddy banks of a stagnant ditch.

The refuse, he.believed, was put down merely for making
a good substratum for the planting of shrubs and trees,
certainly not to counterfeit rock work.

AUSTRALIAN BEEF.

Mr. LUSK asked whether, considering the high price
of the beef preserved, viz., elevenpence in the pound, and
the excellence and cheapness of the Australian preserved
meats, it was intended to introduce it for consumption in
the Royal Navyy
Mr. CHILDERS said"the Australian meat bad been fur-
nished to a certain number of ships for the use of the
officers and men, and had heen reported on favourably.
Tenders would shortly be issued fer preserved beef, but
he would refer more particularly to the subject when the
navy estimates were under the consideration of the house.

THE REVOLT DT CUBA.

Telegrams favourable to the cause of Spain lit Cuba
have been received at Madrid. The New York papers,
however, hear nothing of this good news. Their very full
intelligence represents the Cubans as still numerous and
powerful, the standard of revolt still floating everywhere.
But whatever may be the prospects of the insurrection,
there can be no doubt as to its effects upon the country—
it is a prey to all the horrors of a civil war. Havannah
is practically in a state of siege, banditti pillage the
estates, troops of negroes wander about the country,
famine is imminent in some quarters, and disease
prevalent in many. The Cubans who were found on board
the British schooner Ga' vauic have been tried for treason,
and sentenced to death. The schooner has been declared
a legal prize, and the British Consul has notified this
judgment to the English Government. He has hopes that
the captain and the crew will be released.

THE TISCHENDORF ENGLISH NEW
TESTAMENT.

taron Tauchnitz, the eminent publisher, of Leipsie
lately finding that he had carried his series of editions c.
English authors to the 999th volume, determined to marl,
the publication of the I,oooth by a special production.
Accordingly he invited the eminent scholar and critic.
Constantine Tischendorf, to prepare an edition 0.
the English authorised version of the New Testa
ment. The result is before us in as pretty a
volume as could be desired. The peculiarity of this
edition may be soon explained. The English authorised
version, as we may be excused for observing, was trans-
lated from the Greek text, as it was in use among Pro-
testant theologians in the days of Elizabeth and James 1.,
that which Erasmus and Robert Stephens had founded upon
manuscripts written after the tenth century. But since
their days Greek manuscripts of the New Testament have
been discovered far older than any with which they
were acquainted, and scholars now for the most part
agree that the older manuscripts must come nearer to the
original than those which, though more numerous, are of
later origin. The work of Tischendorf in the present
edition has been to take the three texts which are most
highly valued by Christian scholars, and to supply from
them at the foot of every page translations of
those readings which vary from the text from which
the authorised version is translated. The texts
he has used for this purpose are, first, the CodexTraticanits,
which appears to have been in the Vatican Library nearly
400 years, and which is assigned to the fourth century ;
secondly, the Codex Alexandrines which is in the British
Museum, a MS. given to Charles I. by the Patriareh
of
Constantinople, and probably written in the first half of
the fifth century ; and thirdly and lastly, the Sinaitic MS.
obtained by Dr. Tischendorf himself, in 1859, from the
Convent of St. Catherine on Mount Sinai, and believed to
be the oldest of the MSS. of the New Testament, and of
the fourth century. The history and description of these
precious documents, accompanied by an estimate of their
comparative importance, is presented here in a gracefully-
written introduction by Tischendorf, who acknowledges
the assistance he has received in the preparation of the
work from our countryman, Mr. B. Harris Co„ per.
Facsimiles of portions of each Codex are given opposite the
title-page. The volume is published for about the price
of one of the cheap yellow-covered novels that we see on
the railway book-stalls.—Daily Neu•s.

.21/1E IRISH CONVENT CASE.

In answer to the writ of Habeas Corpus, the Hon. Miss
Eleanor Maria Ffrench was in attendance in the Court of
Queen's Bench, Dublin, on Monday, accompanied by the
superioress and one of the Sisters of the Loretto Convent,
Eathfarnham, The Hon. Miss Ffrench had a private
interview with the Lord Chief Justice. The counsel at
either side (Mr. Walsh and Mr. Butler for Lady Ffrench,
and Mr. Buitagh and Mr. ()Weill Burke for Lord Ffrench)
and the Sisters of the convent were subsequently admitted.
lite Lord Chief Justice then said he had had some
conversation with the young lady, and she expressed a
wish to go to her mother, which was perfectly natural.
He therefore had nothing further to do than to
see that she was safely conducted to her mother.
His lordship also intimated that he would punish anyone
interfering with the exercise of the writ dEabeas Corpus
which interference he should regard as a contempt of

court.
Mr. Walsh said Lady Ffrer.ch was in attendance.
The Lord Chief Justice : Then Mr. Nagle (Clerk of the
Crown) will conduct the young lady to her mother.
Mr. Walsh, Q.C., said it was the wish of all parties,
and it had been expressed to the Lord Chancellor, that
the young lady should not be removed from her present
residence pending tl:e proceedings in the Court of Chan-
cery.

The Lord Chief Justice said he had nothing to do with
that; but he had no doubt the wishes of the younc lady
could be easily ascertained on that matter.
The Hon. Miss Ffrench was then conducted by Mr.
Nagle to Lady Ffrench who was waiting in a carriage out•
Bide the Four Courts.

REMA MKS.,
The rapid increase in pressure noticed in the north yesterday after.
noon has become very remarkable, and extended to all stations except
Toulon. At Leith the rise has been greatest, and amounts to 1.151 n.
since yesterday morning. Pressure is, however, still highest in th
S.W., and the reading at Yarmouth is 010 in. lower than that at
Brest. Temperature has decreased generally, and is low in the N.B.
The gales of yesterday, after veering to the N. and N.E., have sub-
sided during the night. This morning N.W. winds are reported
everywhere, except in the west—moderate in these islands, but strong
to France. In Ireland the wind has backed, but is light. Bain has
been general, with snow and hail in the N.E. and E., thunder and
nghtning at Roches Point. The sky this morning is clear in the
K.E., but it is again raining in the W. The sea is not high. Weathers
s not at all settled yet. Warnings renewed to-day.

Mr. Watkin Edwards, the official assignee of the
Court of Bankruptcy, whose disclosures in the case of
Overend, Gurney, and Co., created so great a sensation,
has been dismissed by the Lord Chancollor.
The Solicitor-General has in the press an autho-
rised ed:tiou of his speech in the Saurin case, which will be
rublished on Thurstay. It is entitled, " Roman Catholic
C( nvent L'fe in England."

A terrible accident is reported to have occurred in
Scotland during the present Ii avy gale. A crew of nine
fulermen belonging to Banffshire were drowned in crossing
from Caithness to their own shores.

THE ADOPTION OF ARBITRATION.

Men and masters in the North of England are
beginning to recognise the value of arbitration,
Instead of the old, expensive, exhaustive, and evil
system of demands, refusals, strikes, and lock-outs,
we have the more peaceable terms—conferences,
meetings, and courts of conciliation. In Darlington,
for instance, the men in the iron trade were dis-
satisfied, some revival of business having lately
taken place, but no increase of wages. Instead
of refusing to listen to one another, on Mon-
day capital and labour met together to talk it
over. The result is, that the question of increase is
to remain in abeyance for the present. and a court of
arbitration is being formed. If this inaugurates
a trade millennium, both he whose money is h:s
wealth and he whose strength is his riches will
have reason to remember gratefully Mr. Mundella.

ATHLETICS.

The authorities at Oxford shew themselves rather
hostile to the athletic sports which have lately become
one of the chief events of the University year. The
leading journal is inclined to support the authorities.
It believes that too much attention is now being
giyen to athletics, that we have, in our adoption of
the new religion of muscular christianity, rushed into
an extreme by no means desirable. Athletics now
encroach upon the time which should be given to
mental education ; a serious fault, because athletics
have necessarily a somewhat coarsening effect upon
the mind, which can be counteracted only
by good mental training. And after all
what is it that athletics do for us ? Take
the crucial test, the march of an army on a
campaign, and we shall find that the Prussians,
during the campaign of 18G6, marched as well as our
troops can do. So did the Americans under Sher-
man in his famous march through Georgia. The
higher French officers are in great part highly
instructed men, and no class of them, any more than
Prussians or Americans, have given themselves up to
rowing and jumping from hnyhood to manhood.
But they march, and they make their nicn march
with far more alertness and agility than is
shewn by an English regiment, whose officers
have been athleticising all their lives. The
truth is, that in foreign countries athletic exer-
cises are practised sufficiently for the development of
the body, but they are not allowed to invade the
more serious province of education. With us there
can scarcely be a doubt that this limit has been
passed, and that, under the pretence of healthy
exercise, a devotion to a too engrossing class of
pursuits has become general.

CONSIIWATIVE JOURNALISM IN SCOTLAND.

Conservative journalism does not seem to prosper
in Scotland any more than in the provinces of
England. The Scotsman, as presenting the latest
news and as the organ of Liberalism, is almost
universally read. Because it gives news which its
contemporaries do not have till next day, newspaper
readers are obliged to take it in, spite of its
opinions. But the Tories of the North have at
last discovered a plan by which they can
overcome the " fause Wheegs." They are going to
start a halfpenny Conservative paper, which they do
not expect to pay, bnt which those who love the
cause are expected to pay for. They do not think
the venture will be a commercial success ; but they
hope to obtain from those who have money to spare,
and whose sympathies are with Mr. Disraeli, a subsidy
sufficient to pay all costs. We thought that, in
this country at least, free trade was the acknowledged
principle so far as newspapers were concerned. But
Sir Thomas Gladstone and Lord Dalkeith do not
think so, and so we are likely, though nothing is
settled to have a subsidised newspaper in Scotland.

THE ARMY.

The Times is satisfied after Mr. Cardwell's recent
explanation that the duality which is popularly sup-
posed to exist in the administration of the army does
not actually exist. True, there are two elements, the
civil and the military ; but the military is distinctly
subordinate, the civil distinctly supreme. It may
fairly be questioned, however, if there is not some loss
of time and money and efficiency in the material
separation of the administration as carried on in
the War Office and the Horse Guards. In fact, Mr.
Cardwell himself asserted that 3linisters had no
doubt upon this point. The Times, thererefe. comes
to the conclusion that it will imdoubteely be exr 0-
dient, and will as certainly promote economy no less
than despatch in the transaction of business, to put
an end to this division and bring the two establish-
ments together.

THE PARIS CONFERENCE.

The minutes of the various meetings of the Paris Coh-
ference have been given to the world. As the final result
and many incidents which transpired during the negotia:
tions are known, these documents can have only an
historic value ; but, nevertheless, certain items of
this ineeting of diplomatists are worthy of notice.
It is remarkable, for instance, that at the third sitting,
when the Greek Government positively refused to take
part in the Conference except on the same terms as
Turkey, this announcement was made by the Russian
Ambassador. All the other plenipotentiaries had declared
themselves ready to proceed with the business, whether
Greece took part in it or not. The Russian representa-
tive said that hewas prepared to do the same, but that his
attitude would be modified by the absence of M. Rangabe.
He would be obliged to undertake the defence of Greece
in many cases when he would have remained silent, had
the small State been represented —upon which the
Ambassadors hastened to agree that the absence of Greece
must be met by greater moderation on the part of all con-
cerned. The Russian Ambassador became, in fact, the
defender of Greece throughout, and in some measure
there was no mistaking the sympathy which the Austro-
Hungarian representative manifested for the cause of
Turkey. Tho attitude of Djemil Pasha, too, was charac-
terised by the greatest reserve and caution. All the
Ambassadors were excessively chary of dealing with
facts, and it. was agreed that the powers of the
Conference could not extend beyond the discussion
of principles. The minutes of the seventh sitting
reveal an interesting detail ; the Greek Government really
did send to its representative at Paris a despatch, con-
taining certain revelations, and attributing the blame of
certain events to the Porte, but, acting on the adviceof the
French Minister, M. Rangabb suppressed this communi-
cation. At the last sitting, M. de Lavalette said that
though he had no desire to exaggerate the effect of the
Conference, yet its good results were incontestable, for the
Powers represented had averted a war in the East. He
hoped this peaceful work would remain as a precedent
which might more and more be made use of. To this wish
the other representatives gave their hearty adherence, and
then the Conference was at an end.
