EMIGRATION.

Emigration has now been taken up by the Colonial
Society, and a sharp discussion upon the subject took
place at its last meeting. A Mr. John Robinson
read a paper, in- which he said that in emigra-
tion was to be found the solution of the great
question of pauperism. He contended that a well-
devised scheme of emigration should be engrafted
upon the scheme of the Imperial Government,
and advocated the est.iblishment of a colonial body
in England which should watch over the interests
of the colonies.

THE WESTMORELAND SERVANTS' HIRING FAIR.

A writer in the Times gives an interesting account
of the Westmoreland Servants' Hiring Fair, held
annually during Whitsuntide, at Kendal, the chief
nritlmt town of the county. On White Saturday lads
and lasses pour in crowds into the town from all
parts -of the county, and take up their
position by the market-place' exhibiting them-
selves as for hire. The masters come to town
also, and going in and out in the dense crowd, pick
out those who are strong enough and reasonable
enough in their demands. The two parties to the
contract then adjourn to a stone in the midst
of the place and ratify their agreement.
No characters are asked for or given ; little
inquiry is made on either side. After the hiring, Sun-
day, Monday, and the following days are considered
a holiday. During the daytime shops are visited,
walks are made, beer is drunk, shows and the lions of
the place are seen. Then follows dancing in the
upper rooms of the low public-houses. The demo-
ralising effect of the fairs, the vice that prevails, has
often been commented upon. Is there no way of
suppressing them ?

This Hospital, founded iu the year 1828, the first to

without the delay and difficulty of Govarnora' orders, is
wholly dependent for support on voluntary contributions
and legacies.
It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in
addition to this, tho average number of attendance of the
destit,ute sick has for a considerable period averaged be-
tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly.
The Committee, earnestly solicit the assistance of the
benevolent, as the premises of this hospital aro capable of
containing several hundred more beds had the Committee

GIRL GRADUATES.

The "honours division " of the list of successful
women candidates for examination by the London
University has just been published. It contain six
names, one of them a German name. Four of the
candidates were educated under private tuition ; of
the two others one studied at Bedford College, and
the other at the Ladies' College, Cheltenham.

CLEANSING OLD TOMBS.

Amongst announcements interesting to archeolo-
gists it was recently stated that a process had been
discovered whereby the old monuments in West-
etinster Abbey .might, without injury to their form
and beauty, be cleansed from the crust of dirt which
has " disfigured " them for so many years. The
archaeologists have, indeed, been interested. They
have be:..pine alarmed. Lovers of ancient monuments
love Westminster Abbey because it is old. If the
things do not look old, one cause of interest will be
removed. Moreover, a dignity of aged repose
marks the place where our mighty men lie
dead. To _ cleanse and scrape, to modernise
and paint, will be to spoil. The Times, therefore, is
beseeched to protest against this new proposed
reform.

STATE OF 7RADE.

MANCHESTER, May 18. —The market for shipping
yarns has been very strong to-day, and a fair busi-
ness has been done at the prices freely obtainable
last week. Spinners look forward to rather more
activity after the holydays. There are a good many
orders in the market, with a disposition to do busi•
ness. In home trade yarns there has been a steady
market, with little or no change in prices since
Friday, and just a moderate business offering.
The impression is that things are not worse
than last Tuesday. For cloths there has been
rather a large general business since last Tuesday
in nearly all descriptions of goods suitable to India
and China ; and, notwithstanding the holidays,
buyers show a disposition to go on but for the ten-
dency to higher prices, which acts as a decided
check to business. Makers, however, are a little
more independent' 'owing to the orders which have
been booked during the last eight or ten days, and
id. a piece is required as an advance in price in
consequence of many manufacturers being well
under orders. There have been some large sales,
but they are exceptions'
hand the general run of
transactions have been modorate.h

more satisfactory position have been again doomed
to disappointment by the unfavourable winds
which have prevailed and prevented vessels arriv-
ing at the docks, and as there bas been nothing to
check the departure of laden vessels the docks at
the present time do not present such a pleasing
aspect as could be desired. During the past month
the exports of steam coal reached 162,085 tons,
against 190,178 in the previous month, and 182,11
tons in the corresponding month of last year, the
decrease being caused principally by the dulness of
trade, although some difficulty was experienced by
merchants and shippers in obtaining suitable ton-
nage for the more distant ports. Tile- house coal
trade also shows a falling off.
LEEDS, 18th.—There have been but a few buyers
in the cloth-halls this morning, it being the 1% hit-
suntide holidays. Still, there was a moderate amount
of transactions in ordinary goods, and a few in
samples for the autumn and winter trades. Prices
were without change, and the markets were in all
respects such as might have been anticipated.

SERIOUS COLLISION IN THE CHANNEL.

DUBLIN, Tuesday Eyening.

At 2 o'clock this morning a serious collision oc-
currel in the Channel, about ten miles from Bel-
fast, between the Marquis of Abercorn, which left
Dublin at 5 p.m. yesterday with a large cargo for
Glasgow, and the Lord Gough, which sailed about
the same hour from Glasgow for this port. The
Marquis of Abercorn was struck near her paddle
boxes, and in less than one hour she began to sink.
As the water rose in the vessel the boilers burst,
and the cattle, which formed a great part of the
c trgo, were thrown into the sea. A frightful scene
of confusion took plat,', but happily the crew and
passengers were all saved. Bo'h vessels belong to
the Dublin and Glasgow Steam Packet Company.

BY ACCIDENT 011 ON PURPOSE ?

Mr. Brewin Grant, a Congregationalist minister,
finds to his surprise that his name is struck out from
the Congregational Year-Book for 1869. This
omission amounts to deposition, and Mr. Grant does
not like it. He declares that his exclusion is a " reward
for his temerity in opposing, by public lectures, before
and during the elections, Mr. Gladstone's misappro-
priation of the Irish Church property." It is certainly
somewhat startling to find a Nonconformist minister
objecting to the Irish Church Bill. But of course he
ought to be at full liberty to hold and to express his
convictions. The committee of the Congregational
.Union have, according to Mr. Grant, resorted to a
not very creditable evasion in order to avoid the oppro-
brium which such a strong measure would be sure to
excite. They say, according to him, that they have
not expunged Mr. Grant's name, they have simply
omitted it. Every year a new-year book is published
and it is for them to determine who shall be enrolled
in it. This is manifestly no satisfaction to Mr.
Grant, and, indeed, leaves the whole of his fellow
ministers at the mercy of the committee. The
committeee deny that the omission of Mr. Grant's
name was due to any such cause as he supposes, and
say that it arose from his delay in sending in his
name. That explanation he will not accept.

to the advantage and profit of both institutions. It is

THE DEATH CF MOLIQUE.

Everyone will regret to hear of the death of Herr
Molique, the composer. He was born at Niirnberg,
in 1803, and was the son of the Stadtmusikus in that
city. He soon learnt all that his father could teach
him, and by the time that he was 13 shewed such a
preference for the violin that his education. was
devoted entirely to the study of that instrument.
He went to Munich where King Maximilian took much
interest in him, and before he had emerged from boy-
hood he took a place in the orchestra at one of the
Vienna theatres. Thence he went to Stutt-
gart; thence he came to London in 1849.
In our capital he obtained a considerable reputation.
One of the most exquisite songs ever written,
" Could I through nether fly," we owe to him. His
more important works are a Mass in B minor, and
an oratorio entitled "Abraham." This last work
was produced at the Norwich Festival in 1860, but
never became popular. It was the intense labour
attendant upon the writing of this oratorio, amidst
many other occupations, that undermined a consti-
tution previously robust enough. Molique gradually
became unfit for work, and at length, some two
years since, he retired to his native land, there
to breathe away in peace what remained to him
of life.

THE GUANO ISLANDS.

The guano on the Chincha Islands is nearly
exhausted. In a few months these islands will be
deserted, and then all the ships now engaged in the
trade will make for the Guanape Islands, five degrees
south of the equator. There is a supply of guano at
Baker's Island, in the Hawaiian group, estimated at
from 250,000 to 2,000,000 tons, and worked by the
United States. It is, perhaps, not generally known
that there is also a small deposit on some of the
islands off the north-west coast of Norway. Pro-
bably by the time all the deposits are exhausted we
shall have come to the conclusion that it is wiser to
use the manure at our own doors than to transport,
at an immense expense, manure from the other side
of the world.

CONSUL CAMERON.

.In the Times of yesterday the Abyssinian War
and its cause is discussed again at great length. Mx.
Cameron writes a letter, nearly two columns, de-
fending himself against the charges which have' been
brought so freely against him. These charges,
broadly stated, are that he was officious in his dealings
with Theodore; that he broke express orders in going
again to open negotiations with him before a reply
had been received to his Majesty's letter; and that he
was guilty of various other acts, trifling in them-
selves, but still unwise, and calculated to foment any
anger which Theodore may have felt towards
England. Indeed, poor Mr. Cameron has been made
the scapegoat on whom has been poured all the
obloquy of causing that most unfortunate expedi-
tion with its nine millions of expenditure. The
reply which Mr. Cameron gives entirely exonerates
him from any disobedience of express orders.
Earl Russell and the Earl of Clarendon evidently
thought, that Abyssinia would be a good country
to open up, and Mr. Cameron was given full
power to carry on negotiations. Russell wanted an
embassy to go to the King ; Clarendon asked for
a report of the commerce of the country. To give
an answer to Lord Clarendon's demands, Mr. Cameron,
leaving Massowa, went into Abyssinia to get the opinion
of Messrs. Stern and Had, who objected to making
their reports in writing.. As Mr. Cameron had no
answer yet to the letter which Theodore had addressed
to the Queen, it would, perhaps, have been better to
have delayed his expedition of inquiry. But Theo-
dore was not known then as a capricious, half-mad,
and cruel siirage. And though Mr. Cameron com-
mitted an undoubted mistake, as after events shew,
the blunder was not a very great one, except in its
effect.

A FIRST PREFERMENT,

Archbishop Tait has conferred the A HiflPfl.o,lllll7
of Canterbury, vacant by the death of the late
Archdeacon Croft, upon the Rev. Edward Parry,
rector of Acton, Middlesex. Mr. Parry was educated
at Rugby School and Balliol College, Oxford, and
obtained a first class in classics in 1852. He was
tutor of Durham University from 1853 to 1850.
During 1850 Mr. Parry held the curacy of Sonning,
perks (under the Rev. Hugh Pearson) and on the
elevation of Dr. Tait to the see of London, at the
close of that year, became his domestic chaplain, re-
siding with, and working actively at his lordship's
side for three years. For the ten years which fol-
lowed Mr. Parry has taken an active
.part in all
Londoa diocesan matters, and assisted in the large
ordination examinations at Fuluam Palace.

THE BANKRUPTCY BILL.

The Government Bankruptcy Bill is another mea-
sure of centralisation. As amended, it abolishes the
country district courts of bankruptcy, and makes
certain alterations in the law by which business may
be conducted in the metropolis. The paid trustee ap-
pointed by the creditors need not himself be a cre-
ditor. The power of the trustee to disclaim onerous
property, unprofitable contracts, unmarketable
shares, is not to be lost by the trustee's taking pos-
session of the property, exercising any act of owner-
ship, or endeavouring to sell it. In regard to
the status of the undischarged bankrupt, whoth
the original bill left liable to have his old
debts enforced against him after five years from
the close of the bankruptcy unless he had paid a 10s.
dividend, the bill, as now amended,. proposes that
any debt proved in the bankruptcy shall be
deemed to be a subsisting judgment debt, and,
subject to the rights of new creditors, may be
enforced against the property of the debtor, but only
with the sanction of the court, and to the extent and
in the manner directed by the court. No judge,
registrar, &c., is to sit in the Hon se of Commons.
The clause prote,ting loud fide dealing-s with a
bankrupt before notice of an act of ban ruptcy is
remodelled. The clauses authorising liquidation by
arrangement are now to apply where liquidation is
consented to by a majority of the creditors in num-
ber, and three-fourths (not five-sixths) in value.

face, and that his Excellency has, in consequence,
hauled down his flag.
It is believed that the Pekin Government is in
great fear of further encroachments bylßussia.

father, now postmaster et Covington, Ky.,
was appointed
to that position by President Johnson. Professor Kramer,
now Consul at Leipsic who married General Grant's
sister, was al pointed to dud place. I believe, by President
Lincoln. The President has appointed two brothers-in-
law of Mrs. Giant to positions under him, viz.: Mr James
T. Casey, to be collector of the port of New Orleans, and
Dr. Alexander Sharp, who was appointed postmaster at
Richmond by Mr. Johnson, to be United States marshal

Johnson appointed his personal friend, Mr. Goddiug.
Lit.coln also appointed Mr. Todd, his wife's brother, to be
Governor of Dakota, and those who have abusebecaused both the
of
President and his brother-in-law, Gen. Dent,
the confidential position the latter now occupies in the of-
ficial household, seem to have very short memories, tr
they would remember that Mr. Johnson appointed his own
son to be private secretary, and that Mr. Buchanan ap-
pointhd his nephew, Mr. Henry, to the same position.

THE BILL.

The Conservative daily papers are still silent as to
the report that Lord Derby will move the rejection
of the Irish Church Bill. The Rock, however,
assumes that the measure will be rejected, and rejoices
with exceeding joy, heedless of the serious conse-
quences that would result to both the Church and
the Ilouse of Lords if such a step were taken.

THE CANADIAN TRAGEDY.

The circumstances of a remarkable murder which took
place in Canada some time ago will not yet have
passed from public remembrance. An Ensign Whitaker
bad wronged a young lady, named Chaloner. The brother
of the girl—a mere lad--deliberately laid in wait for his
sister's seducer, and mortally wounded him with a revolver.
The trial of Claaloner for this crime terminated on the
4th. There was no doubt whatever as to the
circumstances. The life of the Ensign had been deliberately
taken bythe lad whom he had injured ; but the jury, after a
long deliberation, found a verdict of Not Guilty. Whether
this decision was according to law is more than question-
able, but the jury were supported by the sympathy of the
audience, who attempted to get up a demonstration in the
court, and loudly cheered Chaloner when he was set at
liberty. Juries will take the law into their own hands
in cases of this kind. In France they do so with the
sanction of the law in cases of murder by an injured
husband ; in England and America the law is simply set
aside.

PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
tae short exchange on London is 251. 271 c. per £1 sterling
)u comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
104 d. per ounce for stundard gold, it appe....rs tli.t
gold at the above price is of higher rtlue in London than
in Paris.

The course of exchange at New York on London for hills at 6
days' sight was on the 17th inst. about tO9t per cent. At this rate
there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United

States.
