NEW CLAIM TO THE WICKLOW

The.latest and not the least extraordinary claim to this
disputed peerage is now made on the part of a child torn
some years ago in the Liverpool Workhouse, and efforts are
being made to trace the parentage. A communication was
yesterday laid before the workhouse committee from a
Mrs. Hinson, formerly an officer in the lying-in ward of
the Liverpool house, describing the birth of a pauper child,
and its subsequent adoption by a lady. Mrs. Higginson re-
quested permission to examine tho books upon the subject,
but the committee declined to grant tho permission until
some further information was received. Mr. linger, clerk
to the vestry, stated that he was in possession of some
information en the subject, which he would lay before the
committee if silence were imposed on the representatives
of the press. The reporters, however, declined to give
any pledge, and therefore the communication was not
made.

MR. JACOB BRIGHT, 111. P., ON THE
RELIGION OF TORIES.

Mr. Jacob Bright attended a meeting on Thursday night
in support of Sir Edward Watkin's candidature for East
Cheshire. In the course of his speech, referring to Mr.
Cunliffe Brookes, the Conservative candidate, the hon.
member said he always noticed that the Tory party was
especially the religious party. It professed to care much
more for religion than any other party in the country. In
fact, it cared so much for its own religion that it had oven
taken the most irreligious means to force it upon
others, almost up to this present day, and had visited with
penalties and disabilities those who would not accept item)]
particular form of religion. lie had sometimes wondered
what the religion of the Tory party was. It seemed to bear
only a faint resemblance to Christianity, because, as far as
he understood Christianity (he did not, of course, judge of
the Tories excepting as to their politics), it enjoined equal
dealing with all men, and no respect of persons.
But the Tory party never obeyed that injunc-
tion. They were always - defending privilege, always
endeavouring to shut out somebody else from some-
thing which they possessed themselves. Take the question
of the franchise. Mr. Brooks was asked whether he would
give the same privileges to the ratepayers in the county ar
respects voting as they had in the towns. "No, certrinly
not," he replied, "they are quite a different lot."

The volume containing the evidence given before
the) Select Committee on Parliamentary and Municipal Eleo-
tions was issued on Friday. Tho total amount cf ex-
penses allowed to witnesses who were examined was £2.18
10s. The volume extends over GOO pages.
According to the. Limerick Reporter, resolutions
were unanimously agreed to at the Roman Catholic Diocesan
Synod of Kilialoe on Monday, in favour of holding meetings
throughout tho diocero "to adopt strong matures in sus-
tainment of tho teraut-right movement."
The Pall Mall Gazette is informed that gi Mr. Shir-
ley, of Loughfca Castle, Monaghan, intends purchasing the
whole rent charge of his estates, and presenting it to the
new Church body." Mr. Shirley is ono of the Conservative
members of the county of Monaghan, having Leon elected at
the last election.
On Wednesday evening a landblip cccurred at Mr.
Johnston's quarry, llighe r robington, which buried two
young manarried men, man( d Jein Jonts and Timothy
Davis, who were at work in the quvrry. Immediate mea-
sures wore taken to remove the debris, hut when the bodies
wore reached life was extinct.
On the. Beverley Election Commission evidence was
given on Frrny that in 1857 it was proposed that Walker
should pay all the Conservative expenses. The commit,-
sloners said there had been scandalous schemes in 1859.
Glover was bought cut of the field, and it coat Edwards
£2OO.

At Bridgewater several uitnesses had been called
to provo bribery. Seely, the banker, states that ho 1101/A/
reproached •Prior for advancing X5OO on the last polling
day to tho Liberals. Fenelly tendered himself as a wit-
Less by legal advice, tut the cc mtuissionere refused to swear
him.

At Strabane petty sessions on Thursday the magis-
trates were engaged in investigating the cause of the late

There were

heavy charges against about sixty Cutholicg, but a large
number cf Protestants were also charged for assaults, &c.
About 200 witnesses have been summoned altegetlur,
and the hearing of the cases promiSes to Le a very protracted
business.

The Corrorat ion of Dublin on Thursday adopted re-
solutions in raw ur of fixity of tenure for all occupants at.
such fair 'cuts and on such terms as may be found uccessary
to maintain the rights of property for tlh, lund;ords and the
lights of industrial occupancy for tho tenants. The resoltt-
Huns wort► pat.:set' unanFmously, auct wero supported by
severul Conserv.tivo members.

On Thursday the old workmen resumed work at the
Denaby Main Colliery, nenr Mexbro', where they have been
out since the 3d of March last. 'rho first shift went to
work at live o'clock in the morning, and the second at two
o'clock. Althoqh over 100 of the old hands are still em-
ployed at the lit, Le iii feelino
The memorial to the late Etta' of CatMe was
inaugurated on Thursday. It hasbeett erected at Buliner Hill,
near Castle Howard, the residence of the late Earl, and
is in the fcrm of a Grecian column. From its site an
extensive view of the three ridings of Yorkshire, in
which the Earl was so well known and esteenkel, tau be
obtained.

Them was a diminution in the number of volunteers
who left London for Belgium on Friday. Among the
corps represented at Charing-cross, Ludgate-hill, and Vic-
toria stations to-day wore several front the provinces, in-
cluding Hampshire, Northampton, Oxford, 'Warwickshire,
Wilts, and Dorset ; but the metropolitan corps still maintain
a proponderance of numbers.

The North German Correspondent says that the
Prussian military authorities aro said to have expressed
their approval of the Martini-Henry rifle, and it is not im-
probable that experiments will soon be made with it on a
largo scale. The now English knapsacks, with which a
part of the 2d Ilegimout of Guards has been supplied some
months ago, aro favourably mentioned, and likely to be sub-
kctod to a more cotnpleto trial.

Tho Lancet is informed that it is the intention of
the Admiralty to hold a medical examination for the entry
of naval cadets and navigating cadets at Somerset House for
the future, a board being summoned by the director-general
for the purpose. This is probably only a stop towards the
whole of the admissions to the Eervice being decided by a
medical board instead of a single medical cfficer as at pre-
sent.

The Engineer contains an illustration of some
pyrometers for various purposes, by Bailey and Co., of Sal-
ford. The pyrometer is an instrument pointed at the end,
which, on being thrust into a hay stack, indicates the tem-
perature on the dial. Other modifications of their instru-
ments aro being introduced for indicating rpontaneous com-
bustion by Messrs. Bailey. One is to test corn in bulk
another as a fixture in coal-carrying vessels.

The masons of Sheffield have, at a meeting presided
over by the mayor, for the purpose of bringing about an
amicable settlement of the dispute between masters and men
in the building trade, deliberately adopted a resolution in
which they decline to submit the question to arbitration.
They alleged as a reason that by so doing they should isolate
themselves from the 290 lodges forming their national
association, by none of which has arbitration ever been
adopted.

Twenty-five North-German scholars and artists of
distinction have been invited by the Viceroy of Egypt to be
present at the opening of the Suez Canal. They are to pro-
ceed to Paris, and from thence they will travel to Egypt
with other guests at the expense of the Viceroy. Professor
Iferatusen, Dove, Drake, and Richter have received invita-
tions. Dr. Petermann of Gotha has also been invited.

Hussein Pasha, son of the Viceroy of Egypt, has left for
Paris to return home for the inauguration of the Canal.

The will of the Right Rev. Walter Kerr Hamilton,
D.D., Lord Bishop of Salisbury, was proved on the 4th inst.,
and the personalty sworn under .£14,000. Ills wife, who is
the daughter of the late Very Bev. Francis Lear, Dean of
Salisbury, receives, beyond her interest in £12,000 under
deed of settlenn nt, a legacy of £5OO and a life interest over
the residue of his property, with power
.to appoint at Ler
decease the principal amongst their children, three sons and
five daughters, as sho may think proper.

The Weekly Register Las the following We
have good reason to believe—and we are not speaking with-
out the book when we make the statement—that ere long
three very important announcements w ill be made public by
Ministers. Ono of these is a measure to ton.nd very
thoroughly the tenant's land tenure in Ireland, which will
fully satisfy the peasantry throughout that country. 'rho
second is, that au amnesty will be granted to all the
political offenders now in prison, under certain condi-
tions. The last, but certainly not the bast, will ho that
the "difficulty" with America has been entirely got over in
such a manner that even our sensitive cousins across
the Atlantic cannot of to the way the problem has
been solved, and that there is no chance whatever of
any war between the United Slates and Great Britain.
All three announcements will be of the utmost use in trail•
quillising Ireland, and promoting the welfare and stability
of the whole empire. It is also said, in the best-informed
circles, that the Government will support a meastkc t9tutl-9-
duos tho ballot next soolon.
