`WAGES AND WORK.

---
During the course of his speech on the Trades
Union Bill, Mr. Thomas I3rassey made a remarkable
statement by way of showing the close relationship
that there is between good wages and good work.
Ile said that when the North Devon Railway was
begun the men were paid 2s. a day ; during the course
of the contract wages roso to 2s. Gd., and then to 35.;
but that it was found that labour was cheaper at the
higher rate than at the lower. It is no new revela-
tion that better work can be done by a
labourer able to afford meat than by one who has to
live on bread and cheese; but it is a very startling
fact, witnessed to by the member of a firm which has
every inducement to get its labour as cheap as
i pos-
sible, that an increase in wages of 50 per cent. s met
by an increase in work of more than 50 per cent.
The old saying, "A fair day's wages for a fair day's
work," has now an additional and more forcible
moaning than before.

AMERICANISING OUR INSTITUTIONS.

Four years ago a good deal used to be said about
Americanising our institutions. In fact, it was the
gravest political offence known. The mere imputa-
tion of it was enough to ruin any statesman, how-
ever eminent in public opinion. The stigma of it was
sufficient to extinguish any political reform,
however wise or needed. It would be an insult
to the Americans to say that the scene which
took place in the police-court duiring the hearing of
the Murray-Carington charge was to assimilate
our courts of justice with theirs, as much an insult
as it is to the four-footed animals to call a drunken
wife-beater a brute. Nevertheless, it is the intro-
duction of such rowdyism as this that the noble
dukes and earls who took part in this disgraceful
fray mean when they talk of Americanising, and we,
therefore, ask them to look at home the next time
they accuse smie noisy stump orator of that grave
offence.

MONT BLANC.

The first ascent of Mont Blanc for this season was safely
made a day or two ago. The party, which consisted of an
Englishman, a Frenchman, a guide, and three porters,
met with terrible difficulties, the snow being up to their
waists. The Englishman fainted through the intenss
cold, but no disaster occurred.

GOLD IN SOUTH AFRICA.

Just as the Australian miners who had gone to South
Africa in search of gold were all leaving in disgust, the
prospect of a good yield greatly improved. A reef of
quartz has been reached, and has been ery favourably
reported upon. But for this discovery the search for gold
in South Africa would have been almost entirely aban•
doned.

A STATUE TO LORD DEBBY.

the Liverpudlians do not forget to honour the
fate leader of the Conservative party. They are about
to erect a statue to him in Liverpool in front of St.
George's Hall. The figure, which is about 7ft. in
height, and chiselled in the purest Carrara
marble, represents the noble Earl dressed in

his robes as a Knight of the Garter, wearing
the collar and all the other insignia of his order,
and addressing the House of Lords. The right hand
is slightly raised as if to give effect to some sentiment
he is supposed to be uttering, whilst the left hand
grasps a scroll. The Liverpool Mercury says of the
statue, " in the general pose of the figure is a fine
artistic mixture of dignity and grace, imparting an
air of nobility without any trace of formality or
pride which cannot fail to render the statue a
pleasing one."

THE INSURRECTION IN CUBA.

A special telegram informs us that General Caballero
de Rodas—the new Captain-General of Cuba—has issued a
proclamation announcing that the insurrection is almost
suppressed. We hope that the able Spaniard is quite
sure of this. General Dulee, his predecessor, issued a
precisely similar proclamation, and everybody knows
what became of him. The American papers continue to
assert that the insurrection flourishes. Another engage-
ment had taken place in the neighbourhood of Puerto
Padre, in which SOO Spaniards were beaten by the
Cubans.

A CURIOUS WILL CASE.

In the Probate Court, on Thursday, a case well known by
name— " Sharpe v. Cumans "—was be fore Lord Penzance
aLd a special jury. The case has often been before the
court as to the question of domicilage. The testator, who
was born of Portuguese parents, ands, in that country,
was sent to Brixton to school. He became insane, and
died in an asylum after making a will, and the question
was whether he was sane at the time he executed the
document. the will was opposed by an ausg, and as the
question of domicilage had been settled, the Plaintiffs
yesterday sought to propound the will.
Dr. Spinks, Q.C., and Dr. Tristram, were for the will,
and Dr. Deane, Q.C., and Mr. Inderwick were for the
defendant.

Dr. James Ramsey Atkins, Grove House, Stoke New-
ington, from 1840 to 1862 was proprietor of a private
lunatic asylum. In 1840 Mr. Crispin came to reside as a
patient, and stayed till he died in December 1862. Before
he came to the asylum be resided with his aunt, and often
committed acts of violence. Whilst in the asylum he
was occasionally villent. In 1850 his mind had materially
improved, and he was in a condition to make his will.
The testator knew that his father had died n l let him a
deal of property. He often talked about his will, and said
that he should leave witness a legacy. At that time the
deceased was apparently of sound mind. Ks insanity
was of a peculiar character, and on altern ate days he
seemed to be sane and insane ; and when he appeared
in the latter state be was of a very obstinate disposition.
Dr. Southey saw the testator some short time prior to the
execution of the will. Dr. Jones and Mr. Watney, a
solicitor, came on the day in question. In December
1858 there was a commission to inquireinto the state of the
testator's mind.

By Dr. Deane : In 1&6 he improved for some time ;
but not till his death, w 4, in witness's belief, he committed
suicide. lie was put into a straight waistcoat when he
was violent, and was in the habit of putting his finger
down his throat to induce vomiting, and this so weakened
the vessels of the stomach that he vomited blood.
Ey the Judge : Believed that the testator knew that ii
he did not eat he would die, and be wished to do so.
Other evidence having been taken,
Dr. Deane addressed the jury, contending that at the
time of making the will the testator was insane.
The jury took this view of the matter, and the will was
ordered to be revoked.

THE POLICE AND THE MOB AT POILTADOWN.

From the evidence given at the inquest on the boy
killed by the firing on the Orange mob at Porta-
down, it would appear that the police had very little
warrant to interfere with the bonfire, and still less
to fire. Of course if it can be proved that they
were in danger of their lives the firing may be
justified, and evidence may yet be adduced
to chew that they were right in stop-.
ping the demonstration which was to have take n
place; but the magistrate to whom the inspector
of police applied for advice distinctly expresses
his disapproval
.of the course which the inspector
afterwards took, as being in his opinion calculated
rather to cause a row than .to prevent one. The
evidence about the stone-throwing, too, is not
so cemlusive as it might he. That tiere were stones
thrown there can he little doubt; whether there were
enough to cause any serious danger is another
matter. At the same time attempts were nude
to pursue the police and pin them in a corner.
There took part in this proceeding some twenty
persons, certainly not a very large mob.

THE LORDS' " DAY."

The noble lords who brought out the unfortunate
Day to aid them to oppose democracy in the
celebrated Reform struggle, and who allowed it to
collapse suddenly after a very brief existence, aro
not yet at the end of their troubles in respect of
their most unsuccessful attempt in the newspaper
business. It seems that the paper upon which the
few issues were printed is not yet paid for • and
Lords Grosvenor, Eleho, and Lichfield have still an
action hanging over their heads for the money. indeed,
the case was down for hearing at the Guildhall this
sitting ; but a material witness being absent, it was
postponed. Whether it will ever come before a
court remains to be seen.

THE VIRGINIA ELECTION.

The election which has just taken place in the State of
Virginia is the first that has been permitted there since
the close of the civil war. Of course it was to be expected
that the chief of the seceding States should give a vote
hostile to the Republicans, but it is remarkable that many
thousand negroes, whose enfranchisement was brought
about by the Republicans and opposed by the Democrats,
should have voted for the latter. The result, however, is
highly satisfactory, since it shews that the negroes and
the whites in the great Southern State aro much more in
harmony than was expected.
London, England, 1869-07-09

SUPPLY.

The house then went into Committee of Supply, and a
discussion arcse ou the subject of granting .V 4,000 for the
alteration and decoration of the central hall.

Mr. LAYARD showed that the present frescoes wore
fading under the influence of the atmosphere of the me-
tropolis, and that the mosaic plan had been satisfactorily
tried in St. Paul's. He had therefore saved expense by
substituting it for the frescoes. However, the vote was
was reduced to X 28,000, although Mr. Gladstone pleaded
that it would be impossible to carry on the public service
Itithout some discretion of the kind.

The other orders of the day were then dispased of, and
,ho house adjourned.

TEE COTTON TRADE.

The depression in the co:ton trade has continued
so very long that it is becoming mcst serious to all
all who are engaged in it. Manufacturers are being
slowly ruined, and the many failures are telling most
disastrously. Some time back there were hopes of
a revival of trade and the resumption of business,
but the strikes brought about the total cessation of
many mills, the proprietors in some instances owing
large amounts. The Manchester Courier reports
that at Preston millowners are returning to
the half-week working system again, some
of them running at the reduction of 2
per cent. for three or four days only. The men
are most disheartened. Suffering and privation
many of them have endured for some time past, and
now they have to look forward to a winter with
scanty wages, with clothing already poor from past
privations, and with no present prospect of relief.

THAMES.

THE SUICIDE BRIDGES OVER THE LONDON DOCK.
Mr. Paget addressed Mr. George and Mr. Mumford, chief
constables of the London and Sr. Katherine Dock Com-
panies own police, and said he was much obliged to them
for their attendance, and wished to call their attention to
the number of suicides and attempted suicides at the Old
Gravel-lane bridges over the dock. The attempted sui-
cides only came before him and his colleague, and the
method adopted was to remand the offender to Clerken-
well prison for a week, and then on a favourable report
from the chaplain of the prison to discharge them with a
reprimand. He now had two women under re-
mand, who had attempted suicide at the Old Gravel-
lane Bridge. As one of the magistrates, answerable for
the peace:of the district, he could not help thinking it was
shocking to humanity that these attempts were so fre-
quent, and that some scheme might be devised to prevent
drunken and half-insane persons jumping into the water.
He and his colleague only heard of the unsuccessful cases.
The successful cases of suicide wore investigated by the
coroner, and they wore numerous.
Mr. Mumford said the railings of the bridges were high
enough for ordinary purposes.
Mr. Paget said that was so, but drunken and insane per-
sons got over the railings and attempted suicide in the
dock.

Mr. Mumford said if the height of the railings were
increased it would be an impediment to business, and that
nothing would then stop people jumping into the River
Thames a few yards further on. Mr. Paget was of opinion
that the height of the railings could be increased at a trif-
ling expense, and people kept out of the water. There
were some bridges at the lower part of the docks in Shad-
well with lattice work 10 feet high, and there were no
suicides or attempted suicides there. Mr. George said
those bridges were moved by hydraulic machinery, and
erected under the provisions of a recent Act of Parlia-
ment. Mr. Mumford said it bad become fashionable
for drunken persons, and particularly prostitutes,
to attempt suicide at the bridges of the London
dock. The Bridge of Sighs, as Waterloo-bridge was
termed by Tom Hood the novelist, was the fashionable
resort for suicides in the West, as the London dock bridges
were in the East.

Mr. Paget said he had nothing to do with Waterloo-
bridge. He was firmly of opinion that these outrages to
humanity could be lessened, and ho wished the solicitor
of the London and St. Katherine Dock Companies, now
united, should wait on him.

Mr. George and Mr. Mumford said the magistrate's
wishes should be communicated to the solicitor, and after
stating that Westminster-Bridge was not a fashionable
resort for suicides, though the railway was only four feet
higher, took their departure.

THE VIRGINIA ELECTION.

The election which has just taken place in the State of
Virginia is the first that has been permitted there since
the close of the civil war. Of course it was to he expected
that the chief of the seceding States should give a vote
hostile to the Republicans, but it is remarkable that many
thousand negroes, whose enfranchisement was brought
about by the Republicans and opposed by the Democrats,.
should have voted for the latter. The result, however, is
highly satisfactory, since it shews that the negroes and
the whites in the great Southern State are much more in
harmony than was expected.

OUR TRADE WITII CHINA.

Statistics of the exports from, and imports to, China
during the last five years, shew not only that Great
Britain has the chief command of the commerce with the
Celestial Empire, but that the extent of our dealings in
that quarter have very largely in %eased. In 18G4 the
total amount of our Chinese trade was nearly
48 million taels ; in 18G3 it was GG.t
The trade between Hong Kong and China, too, has
risen from 18 to 24i milllions—the greater part of this
being British trade. India likewise does a large, but
not an increasing, business with China. No other country
can approach these figures. The United States does busi-
ness to the extent of 7 millions. but it has rather declined
since 1864.

EMIGRATION.

Mr. Currie, a member of the committee of the
British and Colonial Emigration Fund, has forwarded
an interesting account of the emigrants sent out by
that association. lie has seen more than a hundred
families, and has held meetings to confer with
emigrants. With the exception of some unthrifty
persons, all those he has met with are contented and
happy. Mr. Currie bdi eves that a sober, industrious
man, who is prepared for some hardships, is sure to
do well. Mechanics should not be sent out unless
they are prepared to take low wages at first.

A 11 ERICA.

Mr. GLADSTONE sail be had to appeal to the bon.
member for Ta,mworth not to proceed with thu motion he
had on the paper for to-morrow with respect to America,
and to move for papers. 11 bad no reason to believe that
America forked upon it as dropped, but he believed it was
thought its America that it would be as well if some time
was allowed to elapse before the subject was again re-
opened. It was a most delicate matter, Lnd, tinder all
circumstances, it would be most desirable that no discus-
sion should not take place at the present moment.

Sir EL BUL\VER said he should regret postponing the
expression of opinion on the failure of the American treaty,
because ho was convinced that, as matters now stood be-
tween this country and America, wo should have cause to
repent delay. lie was for leaving well alohe, but certainly
never for letting ill alone.

Lord J. MANNERS rose to order.
The SPEAK ER said some latitude must be allowed the
hon. member in answering the appeal that had been
made to him.

Sir 11. BULWER thought it would be injustice to the
country and himself if the matter was not discussed, but
if it was the goueral wish of the h)uso that the matter
should not be brought forward, ho should not cf
course persevere, but his former anticipations bad
all turned out correct, and if complications and diffi,:ul-
- became greater against delay he bhould cast the re-
sponsibility ou those who had been tho cause of his not
bringing forward the discussion.

SPORTING NOTES.

Mr. Topham has provided a goodly number of
races this week at Chester, the most important of
which being The Cup. The Chesterfield Stakes
will be the feature of the opening day, for which I
think Giantess or Argyll will be returned the
winner, and the Palatine Stakes should be secured
by Master Tom or Whnus. It )hcs.ierre is a cer-
tainty for the IVelter Cup, and wit!-1 hfs 10Ib.
allowance the .11,1,grave Stakes. Tae field for the
Chezter Cup. will bJliwitedi and selected from the

Knight of the Garter is reported lame, which was
the reason of the hosli:ity displayed agaidst him on
Saturday. A reaction has since taken place in
his favour, but I sit )Ull nut rocom-neud him to be
invested on till his number goes up. Romping Girl
is a good stayer, and will like the course, but I am
afraid she will find the company too good for her.
The same remark applies to Curio, who
is a very uncertain horse. Paul Jones,
who I selected when the weights came
out, is now an equal favourite with Agean, and a
think he will emulate. the Dalby performance by
winning the race two years in succession. Egean
has had a wonderful trial, but I like public per-
formers before private ones. St. Mungo will re-
present Mr. Alt rry, and from his running last year
he ought to beat all the three-ye kr-olds. Vat.sittart
and Consternation will help to swell the field, and
that is all I can s.ty about thew. The winner, as I
have said all along, will be

THE RITUAL COMMISSIONERS.

The John Bull is authorised to deny the statement
of the Record that the Bishop of Oxford met with
no supporter in his motion that no change should be
made in the rubrics without the sanction of Convo-
cation. " The Bishop really moved, and was sup-
ported by other commissioners, a resolution to the
effect that a proviso should be added to the Orna-
ments Rubric, enabling alterations to be made by
Convocation, if authorised by the Crown. His lord-
ship's argument was that Convocation was the best
body, because it so intensely represented the laity."
