ANOTHER PACIFIC RAILWAY.

A project for a second Pacific railroad, to be called the
Trrms-Continental Memphis, has been started. This
scheme seems to have been matured in Paris. Bonds to
the value of 3,800,000 dollars have been issued, and are
said to be taken up very freely. The bonds purport to
bear interest at 7i per cent., and to be redeemable in 1890
at par. As they are issued at $79 per $lOO, the total
interest will be about 9j. It is affirmed that the bonds
will be secured on lands granted to the company on each
side of the railway. From drawings of the line in the
French papers, it appears that it will run through the
Southern States—from Washington, through Virginia,
south-west to Carolina and Alabama, taking in the towns
of Memphis, Little Rock, and Jefferson. This part of the
railway is already supplied by existing lines. From
Jefferson that portion yet to make commences. It will
rnn through Texas to El Paso, on the Mexican frontier,
and thence south of the wild state of Arizona, and north-
west to San Francisco. The Railway News cautions in-
vestors against this tempting project, and with reason.
The Pacific Railway now open was a sort of public work;
the private companies were supported by aids, grants, and
guarantees. It remains to be seen whether the American
Government is prepared to encourage a second under.
taking of the kind.

THE EMIGRATION OF DOCKYARD LABOURERS.

A correspondent at Quebec, who writes to the
Times, expresses surprise that dockyard labourers
and artizans should be about to be shipped off to
Canada. -The shipbuilding trade there is declining ;
a surplusage of labourers. already exists; the wages
are very low indeed ' • trades unions are very strong;
and the prospect of that kind of latour is very poor
indeed. Warm clothing has been very carefully
provided for these emigrants to wear in a country in
which the temperature at this time of the year is
higher than in England.

FOREIGN NOTES.
FREE-TRADE AGITATION IN THE UNITED STATES.

It is a very significant sign of the progress of free-trade
principles in the United States that a great majority of
the best journals are either opposed to protection or remain
neutral. But a short time ago Free Trade was denounced
by almost the entire press of the Union. The Tribune,
indeed, still remains the same savage advocate of a
high tariff. It still denounces the free-traders
as traitors who have been " bought by the gold of Britishers"
to betray their country. It still spreads abroad the idea
that English manufacturers have raised a fund from which
subsidies are paid to American journals and American
statesmen as a reward for advocating the reduction of the
tariff. Only a few days since it most offensively and
calumniously charged Mr. Wells, the late Commis-
sioner. of the Inland Revenue, and the author of
the famous report 'which so irrefutably exposed
the mischief of the protective tariff, with accept-
ing bribes from England.; Of course such libels
only injure the cause they are mistakenly meant to
support. Everyl»dy knows that if the free-traders of
America wait fur subsidies from British manufacturers
they are likely to put up with Protection for ever.
But with the exception of the deinented Tribune, not a
single New York paper still contends for high duties.
All the rest either advocate Free Trade, or remain
silent. The same may be said of the provincial papers,
especially those in the Western States, the latter fact
being of especial importance, as the Western States now
hold the balance of political power. The Chicago Tribune,
a paper which holds much the same position in Western
America as the Scotsman in North Britain, has opened
the free-trade campaign in the great States of Illinois,
lowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Nor is the East idle,
as witness the League formed at Boston, hitherto the
great centre of Protection.

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
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 that are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

FROM NEW YORK TO CALIFORNIA.

The railway across the North American oontinent is
undoubtedly one of the most remarkable engineering
works ever completed. It must prove of the highest
utility in developing the resources, agricultural and mine-
ral, of the splendid tracts of country yet unoccupied in
the West. But the same authorities are disposed to ques-
tion whether, as a!route to California, the railway will
have the piefercnce to the present water way round by
the Isthmus of Panama. The 3,305 miles from New
York to San Francisco will require nearly seven days con-
tinuous railway travelling. A strong man would be
exbaustedby such labour. Then the fares must necessarily
h;gh. The charge for the present will be about £3O,
exclusive of provisions—to be reduced after July to £23.
But passengers can go by sea for £lO. This is a serious
difference. The Economist thinks the railway is certain to
be of immense service, but the promoters cannot yet expect
much of the passenger traffic from New York to San Fran-
cisco, still less the through traffic from Europe to China.

CATHOLIC CHILDREN IN IVORKHOUSES.

Cn Sunday, in all the Roman Catholic churches in
London., a pastoral was read from Archbishop Man-
ning, in which he strongly denounced the conduct of
the guardians of the metropolitan districts in
reference to Catholic children in the workhouse
schools. Ile said there was no greater wrong than
to rob an unconscious child of its religion. There
were guardians in London who had tried
to resist the authority of the Poor-law Board,
and to detain the children of the Catholic poor
under Protestant education. Such cruel injustice
was going on all over the country. The best course
would be to remove the children into . Catholic
schools certified under the Act of Parliament, and
open to inspection. There was no reason for
refusing this act of justice except religious bigotry,
and the will to oppress the weak.

RUSSIA AND PRUSSIA.

The Patrie says that the Russian Government is so

gain the dominion of the Baltic. This memorial has been
sanctioned by the Government, and is about to be pub-
ished in the Golos.

SUNDAY AT 'WIMBLEDON.

It was the intention of the authorities to have
closed the Camp on Sundays against all who were
not subscribers, in order to avoid the large and
somewhat disorderly gathering which had assembled
on previous occasions ; but so much dissatis-
faction was expressed at the idea of excluding the
friends of the volunteers and the public on Sundays,
that the idea had to be abandoned, and a vast con-
course occupied the camp on Sunday last. As usual on
similar occasions, the orderly behaviour of the crowd
left nothing to be desired until after the opening
of . the drinking-shops in the afternoon, when
a change for the worse was manifested, and noisy
quarrels Imam° common. Close by the north-east
gate is the canteen, where the supposed wants of the
soldiers are supplied under Government regulations.
The visitor on enteringthis "regulated"shop on Sun-
day evening would have seen a wet and dirty counter,
behind which were arranged huge barrels of
alcoholic liquors ; the foreground was occupied with
soldiers, many of them noisy and quarrelsome. In
one corner a member of her Majesty's forces was
seen as drunk as a man could be ; in the oppo-
site corner a drunken woman was receiving
the attentions of a number of men not much
less drunk than herself. These disorders were ac-
cepted as the usual and rational accompaniments of
the canteen. Nineteen-twentieths of the vast crowd
assembled at Wimbledon were as orderly and respec-
table as anyone could wish to see there,
and the disorderly fraction were under the
influence of that liquor which Mr. Locke has seen so
many people the better for taking. We know it is
the proper thing to pass by on the other side, and
leaving disorderly persons to themselves; have nothing
to do with them until they become criminals or
paupers. We should, however, prefer being able
to walk on all sides upon such public occasions with-
out interruption or annoyance, and this would be at
once possible if the incentive to mischief was not
brought into the midst of the people.

THE ORANGE AND TIIE GREEN.

The union of the Orange and the . Green—the
meeting of two extremes—has become tin
.fait
accompli. An appeal was issued on Saturday to the
people of Cork urging them to sink party diffe-
rences, to remember that disunion has bronghi
Ireland under a foreign Government, to determine
that Ireland shall be free, and to wear the Orange
and the Green together. This placard %yrs thought
spurious by the Freeman's Journal, the Roman Catholic
Liberal paper of Dublin, but Is taken up quite seriously
by the Dublin Mail, the Orange organ. The Mail
declares that the advice given in the bill is "sound and
patriotic so far as it inculcates friendly relations
between Orange and Green." Does the Mail really
mean to say, as representing Orangemen, that they
are prepared to help the Feniansto free Ireland from

THE PANAMA ISTHMUS CANAL.

The Panama Star and Herald strongly condemns the
conduct of the New Granada Government in refusing to
sanction the American project for constructing a ship canal
through the Isthmus of Panama. This journal—which
ought to be an authority on such matters—declares that the
little Government at Bogota have no substantial motive
whatever for their refusal, unless itbe that they are holding
back in hopes of getting a higher offer for the privi-
lege of making their wild lands valuable than has yet been
made to them. "It is safe to say that if the
construction of the canal were commenced, not less than
five, and probably ten, millions of dollars would actually
annually accrue to the Isthmus for labour and supplies
furnished in the country." The Columbian Government
is losing all this money, and may probably lose it alto-
gether, for the Star and Herald points out that, though
Panama is the best situation, there are other points in
Central America at which the canal might be made,

THE TRUCK SYSTEM IN IRELAND.

The revelations made of the truck system in
Scotland are likely to lead to suppressive legislation.
The _Korth British Daily Mail, which has been

not improbably be brought in on the subject, not in
the expectation that it will be capable of being passed
before the prorogation of Parliament, but for the
purpose of drawing the attention of our lawgivers
to the existing evils and facilitating future legis.

The inquiry ii,to the alleged corruption in connection
with the project for farming the tobacco monopoly has
terminated. The commission does not report that any
direct act of bribery has been committed, hut it censures
the conduct of certain deputies as light and trivial. The
mysterious charges brought by Major Lobbia have, how-
ever, completely exploded, and the Major is severely con-
demned. The army staff demand his removal from the

THE IRISH CHURCH BILL.

The correspondents on the Irish Church iSill aro
still actively at work. Mr. Tighe Hamilton renews
his arguments in favour of the gift of glebes and
houses to the clergy of the three rival denominations.
Upon the statesmanlike solution of this " great
glebe land question" depends, in Mr. Hamilton's
opinion, the ultimate result of equality or inequality,
of conciliation or of mortal offence to the
Irish people. ' He stipulates, however, that the
transaction should be entirely with the laity.
Another correspondent of the Times writes strongly
on the hardships eilclured by the Irish Catholic
priests for want of proper accommodation. Many
painful cases have come, he says, under his own
knowledge. An " Irish Protestant " thinks that the
conferring of decent residences of Catholic and Presby-
terian clergy would be strictly in accordance with the
original purpose of the fund, and would be a
significant sign of the overthrow of Protestant
ascendancy. Another writer quotes from a recent
article in the Revue des Deux Mondes, in which the
French politician recommends the separation of
Church and State, avoiding the evils of a voluntary
system by the incorporation of the congregations of
each parish vesting in them a limited demesne as
glebe.
The Rev. Baldwin Brown, the well-known Inde-
pendent minister, writes again to the Daily News on
concurrent endowment, and again condemns it,
though not so sweepingly and unreservedly as some
of his fellow-Congregationalists. He evidently sym-
pathises to some extent with those who support it,
and is somewhat touched by the Broad Church
idea of an establishment. This last, how-
ever, he does not think practicable. He
thus paraphrases the appeal for comprehension :
" Let us invent a platform on which Dr. Davidson
(to whom we owe thanks for unveiling what Eras-
tianism would do for us) and Mr. Voysey may
stand in church fellowship with the Bishop of Ripon
and his congenial Dean, and be publicly paid and
petted for undermining what the great mass of the
people, rightly or wrongly, believe to be sacred
and most precious truth." Is there (he asks)
the faintest hope that in these days such a
scheme could stand ? Mr. Brown goes on to argue
that if the apostles of culture and lovers of scholarly
Christianity had their way, if comprehension reduced
all to a dead level, and fanaticism were extinguished
by an Establishment taking in the whole nation, yet
as soon as the desired results had been accomplished,
Nonconformity would break out afresh as vigorously
as before.

in the same.

The directors also draw allenlion to tho successful esta-
blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire
Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc-
tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to
work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much
to the advantage and profit of both institutions. It is
scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and
constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.

THE MEETING OF MISH PEERS.

There are various rumours afloat, more or less
defined, as to what was done on Saturday at the
meeting of Irish peers at the Duke of Abercorn's.
It seems certain that their lordships were not unani-
mous ; that there was an extreme party, represented
by the Marquis of Westmeath, and including the
Earl of Clancarty, the Earl of Bandon, Lord de
Vesci, and Lord Middleton, which was in favour of
the total rejection of the bill on the third reading;
and that, as a whole, the assembly came to no
decision whatever upon the subject. Moderation,
however, was urged by some of the peers, notably
by the Earl of Bosse, the Earl of Clonmel, Lord
Dunsany, and Viscount Hawarden. These nob!c
lords, it should be noted, spoke very strenuously in
favour of the amendments ; and generally there
seemed to be a disposition to resent any interference
on the part of tho Commons with the measure as it
stands.

CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT.

James Albery, 38, was charged with embezzling various
sums of money belonging to his master, Thomas Hatten.
The jury found the prisoner guilty, but recommended
him to mercy.

The Recorder said that in ordinary cases he should have
been compelled to pass a severe sentence; but, having re-
gard to the peculiar circumstances involved in the charge,
he should only sentence him to six months' hard labour.

This Hospital, founded iu the Tear 1828, the first to
establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor,
without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is
wholly dependent `or support on voluntary contributions
and legacies.
It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in
addition to this, the average number of attendance of the
destitute 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 are capable of
containing several hundred more beds had the Committee
the requisite funds to maintain them.

SUPPLY.

On the motion for the house going into Committee of
Supply,

Mr. GOLDNEY called the attention of the house to
sums granted for the purchase of the site fur the now
public offices, and to the proposed expenditure for a new
loam Office, and asked if there would bo any objection to
lay a copy of the plan of the land purchased, and the
amount of the purchase money, upon the table of the
house.

Mr. LAYARD said ho should have no objection to pro-
duce the information required, so far as it was possible.
A great part of the information had, however, already
been made public.
The house resumed about midnight, and the remainder,
of the sitting 111.19 occupied for the most part with the
second reading of the Parochial (Schools) Scotland Bill.
Immediately before the house rose the Irish Church Bill
was brought down from the House of Lords, and Mr.
GLADSTONE moved that the bill, with the Lords
amendments, be printed, and gave notice that the conside-
ration of the amendments should bo taken on Thursday.
The house rose at a quarter past 2 o'clock.
