NEW PLAN OF EMIGRATION.

A body of working men have devised for them.
selves a plan of emigration which promises better
success than some of the rash schemes lately talked
of. A society has been formed for raising
a capital of £250,000 by shares of £1 each, pay-
able by weekly instalments. The managers wrote to the
governor and Legislature of Nebraska, and received the
information they wanted, as well as the offer of a large
tract of land at a merely nominal price. The societyintend
to colonise this tract, and by way of ascertaining
the whole truth with regard to it they have sent out
sixteen
"pioneers," chosen by ballot. Should their report
be favourable, other members will be ballotted for, until
the land has been properly divided. Here, then, is a
"self-supporting " scheme of emigration, conducted with-
out even a preliminary appeal to the public. The land
allotted to each emigrant is, we presume, to be paid for
gradually, but its original price will not render this obli-
gation a heavy burden. The result of this experiment
ought to be interesting to those who are contending that
it is the duty of the Government to assist
minetthieawalzleotlerle
deportation of the working classes.—pull

Mr. Bass, M.P. for Derby, who has been unable
to vote in the recent divisions on the Irish Church question
ro is so far improved in health as to be able to
take u
drivesdrives almost daily. As soon as the weather becomes
thit
settled and genial, he will visit his favourite retreat in
Sectland.

A case of considerable importance to masters
and worlonon wal heard at the Rotherham County
Court on .Saturday. It Lad Leen sent duwn from a
superior court fur trial. A lad named Coates sued
(by Lis father) the rarkgato Iron Company, Limited),
for the sum of damages for injuries sustained
by Lim in consequence of tho alleged negligence of the
defendants. The boy had been made a cripple for life
by a quantity of red hot iron falling upon him from of
" t,01!y," which lie was loading from the furnace to
the roll.. It was argued on behalf of the plaintiff
that the company worn responsible for the accident by,
reason of the metal flooring being uneven, thprrhy causing
the Loy to be tripped up. The jury found for the plaintiff,
and awarded him £220 damages. It is supposed, however,
that the superior courts will bo appealed to again on the
ground that the verdict was not in accordance with the
evidence.

THE STATE OF IRELA D.

The unsettled state of Ireland just now is again
illustrated by an example. What one of the Fenian
journals recently described as the " agrarian war in
the South," seems to be vigorously conducted. A
magistrate and a landlord has fallen as the latest
victim to it. Mr. W. J. Bradshaw, of Philipstown
House, Cappawhite, was shot dead on Saturday
morning at ten o'cloclf,ata short distance from his own
house. It appears that Mr. Bradshaw left home about
half-past seven o'clock to give directions to his workmen
in the fields. lie seemed low-spirited and restless.
He left to return by a sequestered path, with a stream
on one side and trees on the other. In a few minutes
two shots were heard, but no attention was paid to
them. About nine o'clock some constables came on
magisterial business, and Mrs. Bradshaw, thinking it
time her husband should be at home to breakfast,
sent an old man to look for him. He went to the
fields and heard the deceased had left, and, following
the path, found him lying in the stream. Sic feet
from it was a pool of blood. The injuries
were horrible—ten pellet and ten bullet wounds in
the head. The police and the magistrates were soon
on.the spot. Suspicion fell on a young man named
Allis, the son of a small tenant. He could not be
found, but last evening he walked boldly into
Philipstown House, and gave himself up to the
police, making statements of where he had been
which they knew to be false.

CRISIS IN PORTUGAL.

The news from Portugal is vague, mysterious, and dis-
turbing. "Fresh insurrections," we are told, " quickly re-
pressed, break out every day in the army." Nothing is said
as to the nature or extent of these outbreaks, but it is
clear that the country is in a very unsettled state. The
King has called the Duke of Saldanha to take the Presi-
dency of the Council, with the portfolio of foreign affairs.
But this statesm: n declines to face the situation. He
excuses himself on the ground that he is too old, and that
the difficulties which await the Government require prompt
and energetic measures.

SHORT SUMMARY OF THE rosnioN

OF THE
PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY,
62. Ludgate Iii!!, London, E.C.

Branch Office —7, King-street, St. James's.
The Annual Premium Income of the Company, at the
close of Im6B, was £220,978 Os. 10d., and the Total Amount
Assured £4,832,197.
The Business is divided under two heads :-
Ist —The General or Ordinary Business, being the
same as that transacted by other Companies.
2nd—The Industrial or Working Class Assurances.
The Premium Income of the General
Business was £52,432, and the sum Assured
£1,662,960. The present value of the lia-
bility of this Branch by the Carlisle 3 per
Cent. Tables, throwing off the entire load-
ing, was £139,322 15 8

The Premium Income of the Industrial
Branch was 16R,546, the sum Assured
X 3,169,237, and the Estimated Reserve 50,000 0 0

£189,322 15 8
The Liability of the Industrial Branch
does not admit of being estimated in the
same way as that of the General Branch,
on account of the very large proportion of
Policies which constantly large, so that
the balk of the assurances are, in fact, risks
for short terms only ; the estimated re-
serve for the lial ilitics of this Branch of
the business is shown by the result of 14
years' experience to be abundantly suffi-
cient.

The Assurance Fund on 31st Decem-
ber, 1868, was £241,301 13 4
The average duration of the whol.e of
the Industrial Policies was considerably
under three years.
The average age of the Assured in the
Industrial Branch was 19 years.

ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth i hat are loose, and is gua-

IRISH RAILWAYS.

The London correspondent of the Dublin Mail is
slightly premature. He states, in a communication
dated llonday, that the Government has had the
subject of Irish railways under notice ; and decided
that no plan for their general purchase shall be
adopted. Now her Majesty's Ministers met for consul-
tation the first time after the long vacation on Tues-
day, the day after the Mail correspondent wrote.
How then can he tell us what the Cabinet intended
to do Ho nevertheless says with an air of great
authority that a scheme is under consideration by
which assistance may, to some extent, be given to the
larger companies for the purchase of the smaller lines,
and in working of the system as a whole, and also
for completint, the communications of the country.
The outlay (he adds) will be advanced on the security
of the districts concerned. The whole system is to be
placed under a Board of Control to be appointed by
`he Government.

TIIE HIGH CHURCH 3IISSION IN LONDON.
Some not very favourable remarks have been made
as to the High Church Mission about to bo held in
London. The Daily News observi%r that the attack
was to be on Sin and Satan, and interpreting the
announcement to mean that those takin' part were
anxious for the suppression of moral and spiritual evil,
declared that to pray within churches and to preach
to those who came to chapels, would have but
very limited results. The "mission' would hardly
reach the ignorant and the vicious, whose conversion
it sought to obtain. The Rev. Newman Hall—lnde-
pendent though he is—professes to be hurt by this
comment, and he writes back to our contemporary:—

I am sure that in your somewhat humorous comment
you could not have meant that the methods proposed—
viz., prayer to God and preaching the Gospel—aro not,
according to the Christian faith, the most effectual means

COMFORT FOR RAILWAY TRAVELLERS.

Hitherto sleeping in a second-class railway car-
riage has been out of the question, unless the
traveller was so lucky as to get the corner seat. It
is now no longer impossible. By means of the
"Alpha Rest," the traveller is provided
with a support upon which he can lean and
sleep without danger of toppling over upon his neigh-
bour. The Rest when closed is about 14 inches long,
11 inches thick, and 3 inches wide, so that it can be
readily carried in a carpet bag. When open it fur-
nishes a support for the arm or a book. The weari-
ness of the back, which is felt during long journeys,
may be relieved by placing the Rest upon the
knees and leaning, forward upon it. When the
carriage is quite full this is often the most effectual
relief which can be obtained. The Rest is equally
available for railway or omnibus travelling, and while it
will be useful to first-class passengers, it will
afford most substantial relief to those travellers whose
wants are not so well provided for by the railway
companies. To anyone condeinned to a long journey
in a diligence the "Alpha Rest" would be invalu-
able. It can be used by the traveller without en-
croaching upon the space due to his neighbour.

.110SPITAL Nuns Es.

Whilst the Ler'-lature was cobbling at a law for
regulating the wa. .ing hours of women, it might as
well have made some provisions for hospital nurses.
These are overworked. They attend to their patients
during the day, and take turn at night duty one
evening in three. They are in the sick wards fifty
hours out of every seventy-two, or on an average
seventeen hours a day. The nurse whose duty
it is to sit up, say on Monday night, rises
at six o'clock on Monday morning, attends to the
wants of her patients during the day, and performs
her share of the general ward work, remaining on
duty until 5 p.m., when she is at liberty to retire to
rest until 10 p.m. Then her labouts again begin, and
are continued without intermission until 9 p.m. on
the following evening-23 hours. The sickness and
mortality amongst this class ofwomen are much above
the average.

THE BISHOP DESIGNATE OF EXETER.

The difficulty as to the voting of the Chapter of Exeter
in the matter of Dr. Temple is at an end. Bishop Trower,
who was the commissary of the late Bishop Phillpotts,
claimed to vote in the election as sub-dean. The
minor chapter having considered the question, disallowed
his claim, and also the claims of the prebendaries. Forth-
with the Bishop declared his intention of applying for a
mandamus in the matter to the Court of Queen's
Bench. Dean Boyd thereupon took counsel's
opinion. It was favourable to the rights of the
larger chapter. The hon. canons were, according to it,
legal voters, and Bishop Trower'a claim a proper one.
The Dean and Chapter, under this advice , have intimated
to his lordship that his vote will bo allowed.

It may be added that Dr. Trewcr will probably lead the
opposition to Dr. Temple. It is rumoured that ho intends
to propose Mr. Mackarnoss to be returned in answer to the
Quem's cong,!

THE AQUATIC CHAMPIONSHIP

- -----♦- . _.

The anticipated arrival of the Tynesiders to-day to
complete their training on the river on which the first of
the two great contests between the North and the South is
to be rowed next week tended to increase the interest
anent the event. This feeling of interest will
be materially intensified when the men of the
Tyne actually put in an appearance on the Thames,
which, it is hoped and expected they will do on Friday.
As regards their opponents, all that it is necessary to say
is that, though their practice has been on some
days interfered with by the lumpy condition
of the water, they have taken their spins with
sufficient regularity, and are in singularly good condition
as far as health is concerned, and exhibit admirable form.
From now till the day of the race, November sth, they will
probably do little more than gently keep up their
practice. The Northerners make the Duke's Head
their quarters, their opponents being settled at the
Star and Garter. When an opportunity has been afforded
the critics of witnessing the relative doings'ofthe crews on
the same reach of water, it will be possible to say some-
thing more definite than can be said at present as to the
way the betting is likely to rule.

MORE AGITATION.

Some of the Amnesty meetinEs held this week in
the South of Ireland are likely to amuse the public,
if not to benefit the prisoners. At Tralee a hearse by
some mischance inauspiciously followed the proces-
sion, and the platform broke down with the weight
of the speakers. The meeting at Carrigaline
was signalised by the appearance of Mr.
Reardon, who moved a resolution respect-
fully informing the Government that "no mea-
sure of redress, no matter how ample, will satisfy
the Irish people unless our imprisoned brethren are
liberated." Mr. O'Sullivan, the famous ex-mayor,
was greeted with a warm reception, but the ardour
of the audience speedily cooled down when he ex-
pressed his confidence in Mr. Gladstone. Another
less favoured individual met with a shower of groans
and hisses for committing the same offence. The
Very Rev. Canon M'Swiney presided, and was gene-
rously informed that though the assembly had not
been convened to talk about land, yet in consideration
of his personal character the liberal-minded audience
would not mind hearing a little on the land question
from Mm. The rev. gentleman then called upon
them to unite in endeavouring to get justice for the
prisoners, and a fair settlement of the land problem.
A. voice broke in with the remark that it
was " time enough when the prisoners are out for
for that ; " and another, of a more provident turn of
mind, responded, "Sure, they'll want a bit of land
too." This observation gained, as it deserved, great
applause. On the whole, however, it is fair to note
that the resolutions were mild, the speeches tempe-
rate, and though the mob occasionally displayed a
little effervescence, order was in no way disturbed.

ANOTHEIt LAND QUESTION.

It appears that an Irish land grievance has sprung
up in the United States. It differs from the treasure
of the kind which we possess. Tho Irish men and
women who seek their fortunes in the United States
are much addicted to remaining in the coast cities,
especially New York, where they are little wanted ;
whilst the Western States are grievously in want of
population. In some cases the immigrants have no
money ; in others, they aro attracted by the pleasures
of the seaboard towns. Hundreds of millions of
acres of unoccupied lands now await settlers at the
West; all substantially free, for every actual settler
under the new Homestead law is entitled to a quarter
section by merely occupying it. But though land is
to be had for the asking, it is difficult to get the
immigrants to it. To overcome this, a society has
been formed for transporting the freshly-arrived Irish
people to a suitable home in the West. What is the
precise plan to be adopted has not yet been %rival
upon ; but if any scheme of the kind prove practi-
cable, its influence in extending emigration to the
States must be great.

THE COMIC PAPEI?S.

(From Punch.)
LORD DERBY.
BORN, 1799. DIED 1809.
Withdrawing slow from those he loved so well,
Autumn's pale morning saw him pass away :
Leave them beside their sacred dead to pray,
Unmarked of strangers. Calmer memories tell
How noble Stanley lived. No braver name
Glows in the golden roll of all his sires,
Or all their peers. His was the heart that fires
The eloquent tongue, and his the eye whose aim
Alone hath quelled his foe. He struck for Power,
(And power in England is a hero's prize)
Yet he could throw it from him. Those whose eyes
See not for tears, remember in this hour
That he was oft from Homer's page beguiled
To frame some "wonder for a happy child."

HIIRRA !SO IT OUGHT.—It is believed that the proposi-
tion which has been made for a "Temple Bar" in the
Cathedral City of Exeter, will end in utter failure.
HEIGHT OF EXTRAVAGANCE.—Getting yourself run over
by a railway van, just after you have bought your diary
for 1870.

STANDING v. Srrurro.—The row between the Beverley
Commissioners and Serjeant Sleigh may have been un-
seemly, but it was only natural. As they insisted that the
learned Serjeant had no locus standi, he attempted to prove
he had by refusing to sit down !
DON'T PICK ME UP BEFORE I FALL DOWN.—A country
journal, which, having mislaid it, we fear to miscall, makes
merry over the following lapsus penny by a London journal
which we shall not name :—" The Empress was very nearly
receiving damage at the hands of a soldier's runaway
horse.!' But where is the mistake? INre don't see it.
Perhaps it was a horse of sixteen hands. No have seen
such creatures. Critics should not bo hasty.

POLICE lIV TELLIGENC'E.— 77.4 Day.

MARLBOROUGH. STREET.

AN EX-SERGEANT OF POLICE IN TROUBLE.—James
Kay, formerly a sergeant of police, was charged before
Mr. Knox with assaulting Victoria do Langle, a French
p:ostitute, with whom ho has for some years past been
cohabiting.

Mr. Sayer, from the office of Mr. Edward Lewis, of
Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the complainant.
The complainant said that the defendant, with whom
she had been living fur some years, keeping him on her
prostitution, came home that morning about one o'clock,
and broke the things, insulted her, and struck her, not-
withstanding that she had done all she could for him.
In answer to the defendant, she said she did take out
a bottle of brandy, but that it was her own. She did not
pull open th• defendant's waistcoat, and take up a knife
and say "I'll stab you." She called "Police" because the
defendant took up a knife to stab her.

Staines, 123 C, said that hearing cries of " Police," he
went to No. 12, Rupert-street, and saw the complainant,
who was bleeding from the mouth, had her dress torn, and
appeared to have boen illtreated. The defendant said the
complainant had attempted to stab him, but the com-
plainant said it was the other way.
The defendant said he was sorry to find himself in such
a predicament. The complainant was a wicked woman,
and took up a knife to stab him, and in parrying the blow
his finger was cut. If his worship would forgive him he
would keep away from the complainant, as he was afraid
if he did not do so something bad would come of it.
Mr. Knox said whatever the complainant might be, it
was well-known that he (defendant) had been for years
living on her prostitution. The defendant would have to
find one bail in £25 for three mouths.

MR. PEABODY.

We regret to announce that Mr. Peabody—for a
long time in such feeble health as to cause great
anxiety to his friends—is now dangerously ill. He
went to America, it will be remembered, to get
respite from the weakness which has long been
coming upon him ; but the journey does not seem to
have been effectual, and his return to his adopted
country—he is now lying in London—has been
marked by a return of disease.

SHIPBUILDING IN THE NOltTil AND sotur.
An instructive table has been published shelving
the daily rate of wages on the Thames, Wear, and
Clyde, for carpenters, joiners, platers, calkers, riveters,
painters, riggers, sailmakers, boilermakers, engineers,
turners, and pattern workers. The cost of one day's
labour from these combined crafts is, on the Thames,
725. ; on the Clyde, 68s. Bd.; on the Wear, &ss. Bd,
The Thames price is 22.72 per cent. higher than the
Clyde 1-ate, and 29.34 per cent. higher than that of the
Wear. These facts furnish one cogent reason why the
shipbuilding trade has almost disappeared from
the East-end of London—disappeared as many
think never to return. The London shipbuilders de-
clared that they would work for no wages below a
certain limit, let the men in the North accept what-
ever price they chose. Now, iron is cheaper in the
North, coal is close at hand, and if lower wages are
taken, the work being as well done, the result is self-
evident. It is true that the cost of living in London
is greater than at Glasgow or Sunderland, but surely
small wages are bettor than none.

THE SUN, LONDON-, URSDAY

notnmg in common, , except our common unnsuanny
(which, however, is something); but so great is the preva-
lence of drunkenness, vice, and ungodliness, that I rejoice
in this proposal, and should be glad if Nonconformists
were to show the true Catholic spirit which animates thew
by selecting the very same week for promoting the very
same object by the very same means.

Would that the sentiments expressed in the last sen-
tence were more Common.

STUDY AN AMUSEMENT.

The Bishop of London distributed the prizes to the
students of the City of London College on Tuesday,
and afterwards addressed them on the importance
and practicability of studying hard. His idea was
that study might be made an amusement. When his
hearers came home wearied at night "'rest and
relaxation might be obtained by calling the faculties
which had been unexercised into play." The
idea is not a new one, and is to a certain
extent a correct one. The statement which
his lordship made that amusements so called
are often more exhausting than occupation of the
mind by science or mathematics, is also a true one.
But the other side of the truth—not forgotten by
the bishop—lnuit not be overlooked generally. For
total weariness the only relaxation is sleep.
'hose engaged in sedentary occupations require
manual exercise, not mental exertion. There is
however a very certain truth in the proposition, that
the mental effort in solving a conundrum is as ()Teat
workingas in out a problem of Euclid. How often,
liough, is the mental exertion made ? People guess,
they do not work, at riddles.

EDITC.kTION.

Educational movements are being made through-
out the country. In London an association of
school teachers endeavours to preserve the rights
of the master, and a branch of the Education
League is bestirringiltself ; throughout the provinces
aleetings are being held. Dr. Barry, the principal of
King's College, presided at a meeting of the school-
masters on Tuesday and declared for compulsory
--,ducation, but argued that it should be religious.
At the last meeting of the National Education League
in London, Mr. Dixon denied that the object of the
League was to eliminate religion from education. The
proposal was that the education of the country should
be in the hands of the people through their local
representatives, and it Trould be for each locality to
letermine the nature of the education to be given
within its limits.

ITALY,

The Ministry of Mcnabrea has lasted longer than any
other Administration since the time of Cavour, it having
been in power two years. The three real Ministers have
been Menabrea, Cambray-Digny, and Gualteria. The
changes that have taken place in the component parts of
the Administration are singular enough. There
have been five Ministers of the Interior, four of
Justice, two of Public Works, and two of Com-
merce, besides various other alterations in minor offices.
The new members of the Cabinet arc not expected
to bring any additional strength to it either in
Parliament, or by favour of public opinion. The desired
object is to gain time and to repress the extreme tendencies
of the electoral colleges.

7HE EDIIIVIVDS' CASE.

Before the Court of Arbitration to-day, Mr.
Napier Higgins called Mr. Leonard Edmunds, who
said that in 1834 he was appointed clerk in the
Registrar's Office in Chancery. Was appointed
Reading Clerk at the table of the House of Lords
in 1848, with a salary of £1,500 per annum. In
1833 the office of Clerk of the Patents became va-
cant, and witness was named thereto by Lord
Chancellor Brougham. The witness then pro-
ceeded to detail the working of the Patent Office
generally.

A WORKING MAN FOR SOUTHWARK.

The Labour Representation League is resolved
to try the chance of a working man's
candidate in London. The vacancies announced
in two metropolitan boroughs, that of South-
wark- 'which Mr. Layard formerly sat—and that of
tao Tower .I.l.o,inlets—wliere Mr. Ayrton
ion—have come under their notice. To oppose
llr. Ayrton would be ungracious ; but Southwark is
to be contested. A meeting to consider the matter
was held on Tuesday, and it was unanimously
resolved to bring out a candidate. If the rumours be
true that Mr. Bradlaugh seeks election, and the can-
didaturo of Mr. Kirkman Hodgson be persisted
in, three claimants—all Liberal—of the votes of the
electors are a possible contingency. This state of
things would give a very remote chance of a Conser-
vative victory ; but the differences will probably be
made up in one case at least; and even if not, the
overwhelming Liberal majority renders a Conserva-
tive election an improbable occurrence. It is stated
by a Conservative contemporary that Mr. Morgan
Howard, who was so thoroughly beaten for Lambeth
last November, will come forward as the " Church
and State " champion.
