MEXICO.

A rumour that Count Girgenti, son-in-law of Queen
Isabella, was about to undertake an expedition to Mexico,
is not, accordiug to the Journal de Paris, wholly IA i bout
foundation. A Mexican general named Taboada has been
for some time enlisting Spanish officers for a monarchical
enterprise in Mexico. He has enrolled 300, with the con-
sent of the Provisional Government. He has a large
sum at his disposal, and an army awaits him in
Mexico. Santa Anna is understood to be the author of
this project to make Count Girgenti a king. He seems to
have omitted to take the 'United States into consi-
deration.

A Conservative banquet is to be held in the City
of London as soon as it can conveniently bo arranged, at
which several members of the late Government will attend.

The Law Times understands that one of the first
measures the Government intend to introduce when Parlia-
ment meets is a bill to amend the law of bankruptcy. The
bill of last session, framed on the report of the committee
which sat to consider the defects of the present system, will
no doubt bo the basis of the intended legislation.

The work of drawing the imprisoned miners—now
necertained to be 286 in number—from the Aldwarke Main
Colliery, near Rotherham, was not concluded until 5 o'clock
on Thursday afternoon. It seems that there were five, and not
throe, boilers at tho pit mouth, and that which exploded was
next but ono to the engine-Louse.

VIENNA, Jan. 30.

The New Free Press of to-day says :--i4 A Rus-
sian courier, who had just passed through Vienne'
en route for Athens, is the bearer of despatches for
the Hellenic Government, urgently advising Greece
not to disturb the union of the great Powers
achieved at the Conference. The despatches also
point out that the Turkish ultimatum is no longer
valid, in consequence of the resolution adopted by
the Conference and the extinction of the Cretan
insurrection." The same paper states that should
the resolutions of the Conference not lead to A
satisfactory solution of the difficulty the Powers
would leave Turkey and Greece to themselves.

The Press publishes a telegram stating that the
autograph letter of the Emperor Napoleon to King
George recommends a conciliatory policy as at the
present moment the wisest course for Greece to
adopt.

AII2RICA.

Finance is the one question in America. If, according
to Mr. Lowe, every Englishman has a plan for the impo-
sition of new taxes, every American is equally provided
with a scheme for the redemption of specie payments.
Two hundred and nineteen projects have been submitted
to the Ministers of both Houses of Congress. The oppres-
sion of the present financial condition of the country is so
intolerable that the people seem prepared to undergo any-
thing to remove it. And yet there is no unanimity as
to the mode by which the great reform should be effected'
All cut-and-dried schemes are useless; the 219 projects
might safely be thrown into the fire ; the only remedy is
the restoration of confidence. But the Democrats do not
appear willing to fully relinquish repudiation. The
Democratic Convention of Connecticut denies that the
party favours repudiation, but it will not decide fur the
opposite policy. It has passed indecisive resolutions on
finance, but does not hesitate to revive old quarrels by
condemning negro suffrage. It gives a general promise of
support to the new President.

MIDDLESEX SESSION.—(Titis Day.)

Kate Franks, alias Kate Hamilton, appealed aglinst
conviction of A. A: Knox,
Esq., magistrate, sitting at
Marlborough-street Police Court, for an offence under the
Refreshment Houses and Wino Licences Act, on her pre-
mises No. 4, Jermyn-street, Haymarket.
Mr. Meadows White (instructed by the Commissioners
of Police to appear in support of the conviction) said this
was the third conviction of the applicant, who was the
keeper of one of the notorious houses in the neighbourhood
of the Haymarket.

Mr. Inspector Pay
said he visited the house kept by the
appellant on the 28th of November last, at half-past 12
o'clock. He found six men and seven females, whom he
knew to be prostitutes. He found some sitting in the bar
and others in front. The shutters were all up, and there
was a little pane in one of them, a sort of bull's-eye,
six inches by three inches. This house, usually opens at
20 minutes to 12 at night and keeps open until 1 o'clock.
Ho was outside the house about nine minutes altogether.
He saw no ono leave the house. He visited it again at 55
minutes past 12. He found nine men and oleven women,
n'no of whom he knew to be prostitutes. Two of the
women he did not knoiv.
The Assistant Judge said the police had done their
duty in this case very negligently, for they ought to
have watched and seen if prostitutes had gone in and out
with men, and that had would have given us grounds to
confirm the conviction. The conviction must, therefore,
be quashed.

counters, grooved in a thickish double-card, beautifully
enamelled, and is altogether exquisitely got up by Delarue
and Co., the manufacturers. The same.house also issues
froth the press a dainty little Guide-book to:the game of
Baique, by Cavendish. Both this Pocket-Guide and the
Whist-Markers shoulc be in the hands of every card-
player.

3IR. LOWE.S LAPSt'S LINGt2E.

Some of the papers are pointing out that Mr.
Lowe made a very ominous slip of the tongue at
Gloucester on Wednesday night. Ile said: "The State
is the trustee of large public property now devoted
to the purpcses of the Church of England; and is
bound to employ that property equally for the use of
all denominations of her Majesty's subjcets." Of
course the majority of our contemporaries took for
granted that this expression was merely a
contraction for the somewhat verbose nomen-
clature of the " Irish branch of the United
Church of England and Ireland." Others affirm
that there was no mistake at all, and that Mr.
Lowe's arguments shewed that he was only looking
ahead a few years, although perhaps he did not
mean to give such plain utterance to his forecast.
They add that all his arguments would apply to
the English no less than to the Irish branch of the
Established Church.

REMARKS.

The slight recovery in pressure noticed at southern stations yester-
day afternoon has continued, and extended with considerable
rapidity ; and readings in the south-west are from five to six-tenths
higher than they were yesterday morning. The depression in the
north became slightly greater, and at midnight the lower reading of
28'43in. was noted at Nairn, Pressure is now recovering generally,
but is lowest in the north ; and the reading at Nairn is l'43in. lower
than that at Rochefort. Temperature has decreased a little, except
in the extreme west and north. A hard south-westerly gale blew
yesterday and last night on all our north and west coasts, and still
continues in the north and north-west from the same quarter, though
with less violence. At Valencia the wind has died down, and veered
to west ; and fresh westerly winds are blowing up the English
Channel. Strong south-westerly breezes are reported on the west
coast of France, where groat differences of pressure are obsefved.
Rain has been general, but not very heavy, and thunder and hail
have occurred at Valencia, and Liverpool. The sky this morning is
cloudy, but the weather extremely unsettled. The sea is high at
Ardrossan and Cape Clear. Warnings to E. coast yesterday after-
noon, and repeated to all coasts to-day.

The drama "Saved," at the closing of the St. George's
Theatre, is to be produced at the Lyceum.

The "Royal" Christy's Minstrels commence their sea-
son at St. George's Hall on Tuesday, the 11th of February.
The managers of the metropolitan theatres have pro-

op on.

ANOTHER RITUAL PROSECUTION.

The Church Association has now announced
authoritatively in its monthly circular that the ques-
tion of eucharistic vestments will be submitted ,to a
legal tribunal, and that there is every reason
to hope for a successful result. The Association
says that it is " confident that, neither as a con-
sequence of the present, nor of any other legal
decision, will anything become obligatory upon the
clergy which has' the slightest reference to Roman-
ising symbolisms, and which is not entirely in
accordance with the spirit of the Reformers and the
doctrine and teaching of our Protestant Church."
There is great rejoicing among the ecclesiastical
lawyers at the prospect of fresh litigation.
Lord Ebury's advice not to squander
money in law, which had better be devoted to
church building, has clearly had no effect on one
party. The Church Times advises the other not to
spend any more funds on lawyers, but to appear in
person. It suggests also that the Ritualists should
take advantage of Lord Shaftesbury's "Act for
Securing the Liberty of Religious Worship." This
Act gives an incumbent the power to license any
building in his parish for the performance of any
sort of religious worship. The Church Times suggests
that Mr. Bennett should build an oratory close to the
parish church at Frome, for the celebration of mass
after the Sarum use. Above all things, the Ritualists
are cautioned against secession, concession, and pay-
ment of the Church Association's costs. With
reference to this last matter, it is stated that if Mr.
Mackonochie should go through the Bankruptcy
Court, the Church Association will pray the judge
to refuse his certificate

FOREIGN NOTES.

TURKEY AND GREECE.

In the midst of the rumours and conjectures which
prevail as to the issue of the present Eastern difficulty,
the Independence Beige finds one satisfactory rest for the
sole of its foot. Whether Greece accepts the declaration
or not, it is certain that the Great Powers, and especially
France, are all endeavouring to bring about a pacific
solution. The Cabinets of London, Paris, Berlin, and
St. Petersburg are equally energetic in pressing the Athens
Government to avoid the dangers of a war. The Marquis
de Lavalette has written to the Greek Premier, and the
Emperor Napoleon has written to King George. to the
same purport.

LONDON, SATURDAY, JAN. 30, 1869.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer is coming out in
a new character, and speaks to the country, through
his provincial audience, in a more genial strain than
is his wont, and with more enthusiasm than might

have been expected from so stern a critic as the

right bon. gentleman has often proved himself to be.
This is encouraging, at any rate, and justifies the ex-

pectation that all is not so bad as has been pretended
in the mysterious regions of the Exchequer. Curio-
sity is awakened and interest excited by the dis-
course of the hero of the Gloucester Banquet, be-
cause it is his first appearance in public in the capa-
city of a Minister. Some men of mark have not

proved successful administrators, and in passing
through the ordeal of official life have wrecked the

reputation they bad previously acquired in other
spheres of distinction. So far as we can judge, such
is not likely to be the fate of Mr. LOWE, and politi-
cians of all shades of opinions may rejoice at the
prospect of having the dry details and uninteresting
catalogue of figures put before them by a master of
oratory. At first sight, a brilliant debater seems
rather lost in the Chancellorship of the Exchequer,
but both Mr. GLADSTONE and Mr. DISEAELI have

contrived to adorn the rugged road, and doubt-
less their successor will emulate their examrle.
In some respects the task before the right hon.
gentleman the other evening was not so easy as might
be supposed by the uninitiated. It is a wise saying
which admonishes that the moment of success is the

moment to leave off, for too many people spoil the
_ _

effect of their triumph by unduly expatiating on the
theme. As the first public exponent of the principles
of the new Government, Mr. LOWE has not had a
very light burden entailed on him, and therefore the
satisfactory style in which he has acquitted himself
of his responsible duty is the more to be appreciated.
Not that his discourse may not be subjected to criti-
ditn with a fair chance of discovering weak points of
argument, and a shade too much perhaps of self-
sufficiency, but it is under the circumstances not un-
worthy of the speaker or the occasion. The avowed
object of the entertainment at which he was the
honoured guest was to celebrate the triumph of
Liberal principles iu the county of Gloucester, and
in 11:s skilful hands the subject was made the most
of. It was not an unmixed satisfaction, however,
after all, because Glouc:ster has been the exception
and not the rule to the majority of English counties,
they having declared in a remarkable manner for the
Conservatives. Mr. LOWE excited the interest of his
audience by informing them of the absorbing
character of the occupations of the other
members of the Government. It turned
out that they were all too busy to attend this celebra-
tion of the achievements of their party, and had fixed
upon him as the one with most leisure on his hands.
Tbis was strange, because, as their delegate himself
observed, he was not generally considered to " have
the easiest berth an-n)ng them." Be the cause of his

BLASTING AND DIGGING.

Experiments with dynamite, with the view of testing
its value as a blasting agent, have been tried in Norway.
About 15th. of the strongest quality, containing 75 per
cent. of nitro glycerine, were inserted in a narrow boring
twenty one feet deep. The effect was ti e:nendous : 2G4
cubic yards of rock were blown away. It was considered
that the superiority of dynamite to gunpowder for blasting
purposes was clear:y wev:d.
.et 7'o, o; of earth reniov:ng, the Daily News correspon-
dent tells an amusing story of another agent, very effica-
eions and less dangerous, invented by a brewer of Essen.
This brewer desired to enlarge his cellars, and, wishing
to get the work done quickly, engaged a large
number of men, but the excavation progressed slowly
owing to their incorrigible laziness. Suddenly, however,
a new spirit came over them, and they began to work with
a will. Every man was at his place before the regular
liuur, and when the time for breakfast arrived they would
hardly spare a minute even to light a pipe. The brewer
looked on, and rubbed bis hands with a somewhat roguish
expression in the corner of his eye. When the necessary
depth had been attained, the men could hardly be induced to
leave, and were anxious to dig deeper still. And what
was the explanation of this curious psychologial phenome-
non ? The brewer, cunning man, bad buried an old
earthen pot near.f.be, surface, containing a slip of parch-
ment bearing an. inscription in antiquated writing, of
which the following may serve as a translation :
Much money here lies huiied deep :
Who digw and finds, the same may keep.

(From the Anglo-American Times.)

The reason of the irregularity in the arrival of
the mails from America is accounted for by the
delay in the steamers reaching New York, caused by
a series of heavy westerly gales, which detained all,
more especially the Etna, which vessel took 23 days
to cross. She lost an officer, washed overboard, and
Lad eight seamen injured,while the Union had a life-
boat smashed, the Tarifa lost her rudder, and en-
