SPAIN.

A small quarrel has taken place between General Prim
and some of his brother Ministers at Madrid. From the
imperfect accounts yet to hand it appears that Prim con-
tradicted Figuerola, the Finance Minister, on some point
of no great importance, and the latter, with some of his
colleagues, resigned. Subsequently the amende honorable
was made and the resignations withdrawn. General Prim
acknowledged himself in the wrong. Further details of
this incident seem to be required.

THE DOCTRINE OF INT.4NATIONAL SYMPATHY.

It is noteworthy that, whilst. the English Press is at one
in resisting the claim for damages on account of our
"sympathy" with the South, the American journals are
by no means equally unanimous in supporting the demand.
The New York 2'imcs persistently writes against the
inconsistency of such a theory. The reason why the
American nation cannot demand damages for sympathy
with the South is, it argues, simply because the Ameri-
cans themselves have always claimed the right of expres-
sing in lividual opinion respecting all sorts of wars and
rebellions. If America had to pay for sympathy with
insurrections in Crete, Poland, Hungary, Cuba, and
Ireland, the nation would have to go through the bankruptcy
court. "We certainly have never scrupled to encourage'
by our sympathy whichever of too contending parties we
happened to fancy, and have never thought of having our
sympathy reckoned up against us at the market price by
the other party. In the case of England, especially, it is
doubtful whether she has been engaged in any war for
nigh upon a hundred years in which we have not publicly
expressed our hopes that she would get soundly whipped."
Too hie 4. praise cannot be given to a journal for a po:iey
1.0., •i•nugh just, is by no means without danger.

Austria is pushing forward her maritime armament
as rapidly as Prussia. Two more ironclads have been
ordered at Trieste, and the construction of these vessels,
which are to be very strong, will be commenced immedi-

ironclads. The two great German States are racing for
precedence as naval Powers. Both promisa to outrun

SIC VOS NON VOWS.

Father Ignatius is really to be pitied. He built a
beautiful monastery chapel for his Norwich monks,
and ran seriously into debt in doing so. Somebody
has seized the chapel and handed it over to a female
minister of a certa n Dissenting community at
Norwich, which means to adopt the building for
Dissenting worship by demolishing the altar. This
is rather hard. It would have been bad enough if
the chapel had been seized by a body which had
regularly ordained nun isters, but that it should be
devoted to a sect which set at defiance St. Paul's
injunction by permitting its women to teach, may
well arouse the ire of the Superior of the English
"0. S. B." We have rarely met with !melt an
instance of sic vos non vobis in dificatis

EMIGRATION TO CANADA.

The Rev. A. S. Herring, president of the St.
Paul's Emigration Society, Clerkenwell, announces
that the Government of Ontario has determined to
make a free grant of 200 acres to all bond fide settlers.
Such liberality will beyond doubt greatly promote
the emigration of tli?'oontrlyanlasfboormur
in the
wrong place, and this good
Palmerston's epigram, pauperism
poor
r lthing in search of proper
vocation is rapidly on the inevise m England.
But much remains to be done before the thousands
o
who starve upon the poor rates here can be employed
in tilling their two hundred acres in Ontario. There
is the Atlantic to cross, and the interior of the colony
to reach. The AS'tar reminds its readers that the
agricultural districtot of Ontario are four or five hun-
dred miles from the coast, and that to land in
Canada without funds would be worse than remain-
ing in Bethnal-green. Vigorous assistance at home
is needed to give fin impetus to this necessary emi-
gration movement. The St. Paul's Emigration
Society numbers 1,000 persons, who are prepared to
try their fortune in the West, but are waiting for
the means. .

LOADM, SAI URDAY, JANUARY 16, 1869.

Among the many various problems connected with
the repression of crime and the best means of thin-
ning the ranks of our criminals, the most pressing
and the most serious question is perhaps how to deal
with the young. It is no secret that there are
amongst us thousands of children being trained to
crime, thousands who are brought up to vice and
degradation by their parents, or left uncared for and
untended. These are gradually engulphed in the whirl-
pool of evil associations, and while we are pondering
what to do with them, they are growing up to be men
and women, and every year sees their case become
more hopeless, their career more dangerous to the State.
Our social reformers,may well feel that every other
effort will be but partial and unsatisfactory in its in-
fluence, if these boys and girls are suffered an-
nually to recruit the ranks of crime. Every sug-
gestion which tends to throw light upon the
problem of how to reclaim and to train them is
therefore worthy of notice, but the proposal of Mr.
HALL is in itself so excellent,:so appropriate, and so
serviceable to the public interests that it merits espe-
cial attention. Mr. HALL wishes to found a National
Training Ship Institution on the principle of the
National Lifeboat Institution. There is room round
the coast of England and Scotland for fifteen such
ships, and each of them could turn out one hundred
boys, giving fifteen hundred well-trained boys annu-
ally to the Royal and Mercantile Marines. The
yearly cost of each boy on an average will be about £4O
for education and training, but if the outlay demanded
were treble it would still fall far short of the direct ex-
penses incurred by the community through every thief.
By the means suggested byMr. Hall not only would the
boys be provided with honest and profitable occu-
pation, but a steady and well-trained body of young
seamen would every year be placed at the command
of our authorities. The want of seamen is con-
stantly complained of, the difficulty in obtaining re-
cruits for the navy having been often mentioned in
Parliament, and not denied by the members of the
Admiralty Board. There are many reasons for this
difficulty, and one in particular is afforded by the
general employment of steam. In steamers there is
no longer the training school for boys that the old
sailing vessels afforded. They want ready trained
men, and thus the establishment of training ships
will be an invaluable means of furnishing them with
seamen. Mr. HALL expressed a hope, while making
his proposal, that if the Government could ;not or

THE RELIGION OF LORD CAIRNS.

It has during the last day or two been denied that
Lord Cairns is a Presbyterian, but a Mr. Savage
Hall, writing from the Junior Carlton, writes :
" I am a native of and well acquainted with the
same part of the country as his lordship, and know
that he was born of Presbyterian parents, and remained
in that faith while in Ireland; and I am certain he
has never formally joined the Church of England."
A great deal too much has been said on this matter.
It ought to be a purely private one. There is no
reason to suppose that Lord Cairns'sprivate religious
opinions influenced him m determining what are the
religious opinions of the Church of England.
In fact, an outsider is more likely to be
impartial than a member of the Church is.
The latter must have made up his mind
on this point when he joined the party to which ho
belongs. Not even the highest of High Churchmen
will venture to affirm that Bishop Baring or Bishop
Waldegrave would have made a more impartial
judge in the late suit than either of the five lawyers
who sat in the Privy Council. Are they not, in fact,
holding up Lord Westbury and Sir William Erle to
admiration, and by way of contrast to Archbishop
Thomson ?

ITALY.

The Persereraza gives some details respecting the choice
of a capital for the United Kingdom of Italy. The ques-
tion was brought up at a Council of Ministers held under
the presidency of the King on August 14, 1864. Florence
and Naples were the two cities between whom the choice
lay. When the vote was taken, six ministers were
for Naples, and three, including General Menabrea, for
Florence. But the minority was wholly composed of
generals, who were not backward in employing their
strategy. Cialdini, the friend and confidant of the King,
was consulted, and he settled the matter by a hint that
Florence was preferred in the high quarter. This revelation
has caused a curious excitement amongst the Italian
journals, which have raised a great outcry against the pre-
ponderance of the military element in the State councils.
This complaint does not appear to be ill founded.
The Duchess of Acsta has given birth to a Duke of
Apulia. This is an event of some importance, for, though
the Duke of Aosta is the second son of King Victor, it is
not expected that his brother will have any children.

county of Hants, Grand Master of the county Free-

mediate locality than generally ; but he was a good
sailor. He entered the navy in the famous year '95,
became post captain in 1806, rear-admirallB3B, vice-
adadmiral 1855. By his death
Admirall 1840 a

promotion the appointment of captain superinten-

ELECTION PETITIONS.

WINDSOR.—In the case of the Windsor election petition
by Colonel Gardner against the return of Mr. Eykyn, at
the sitting of the court yesterday mornieg, Mr. O'Malley,
Q.C., on the part of Colonel Gardner, said that after
the observations made by his lordship on Thursday
Colonel Gardner abandoned the case, feeling bound
in honour to admit that no case had been made out
against Mr. Eykyn such as he had supposed would have
been made out. Mr. Eykyn and his agents were exa-
mined, and they %11 denied the charges of bribery and cor-
rupt practices which had been preferred against them. The
counsel on the respondent's side, after a long consultation,
decided not to go into the recriminatory' charges against
Colonel Gardner. The Judge said he had determined
to report to the Speaker that the sitting member was not
guilty by himself or agents of corrupt practices ; that cor-
rupt practices did not extensively prevail in the borough,
and that the costs of the trial must be borne by the
petitioner, Colonel Richardson Gardner, although his
lordship did not find that the petition was frivolous and
vexatious.

NonwicH.—Mr. Baron Martin proceeded with this
petition yesterday morning, at the Shire-hall, Norwich.
His Lordship took his seat at ten o'clock.
The petitioner is Mr. J. H. Tillett, the unsuc-
cessful Liberal candidate at the late election
for Norwich ; the respondent is Sir H. J. Stracey,
M.P., the Conservative sitting member. The counsel
for the petitioner are Mr. Serjeant Ballantine, Mr. D.
D. Keane, Q.C., and Mr. Sims Reeves ; for the respon-
dent, Mr. Serjeant Sleigh, Mr. Rodwell, Q.C., Mr. E. L.
O'Malley, and Mr. J. J. C. Wyld. Serjeant Ballantine
opened the case, stating that bribery, treating, and
personation were charged against the sitting member.
Evidence was then taken. It is stated that two persons,
named Hardiment and Virorlledge, who were subpcenaed,
have left Norwich. These persons are among those who
were charged with the commission of bribery on behalf of
Sir H. Stracey.

SOUTHAMPTON.-Mr. Giffard, Q.C., yesterday morning
obtained, in the Court of Common Pleas, a rule on behalf
of Mr. Russell Gurney, M.P. for Southampton, to reverse
a decision at chambers that the security given was suffi-
cient. The point was the same as that raised in many other
cases, that as both seats were attacked two separate secu-
rities of £l,OOO each should have been given. The Law
Times is authorised to state that there is no foundation for
the rumour that the Recorder of London intends to bring
an action against the petitioner in the matter of the
Southampton petition.

GERMANY.

The North German Gazelle, the leader of the van in the
attacks upon Austria and Count Beust, has formally,
announced that it will discontinue the contest. The Gazette
is doubtless under the influence of the shame which is the
usual result of assailing a passive adversary. For some
little time the Vienna journals have been absolutely silent,
having no doubt received inspiration to say nothing. The
contest has therefore died of inanition. There is, how-
ever, no reason to believe that the unfriendly feeling
between the two countries is in any way diminished.

The health of Count von Goltz has become much worse.
His life of torment, says the Cross Gazette. is rapidly
drawing to a close.

says
Sir John Gray's paper,will not come on for legislation
until 1870, although it may be incidentally discussed
in the coming session. Here, too, the Freeman will
have no compromise, but demands the most complete
carrying out of the system demanded by Arch-
bishop Leahy. As to the land question, that is to be
settled entirely on the scheme recommended by the
Roman Catholic Bishop of Cloyne. The Freeman
recommends that petitions should be got up by the
National Association ; for though the friends of
Ireland have great confidence in Mr. Gladstone and
Mr. Bright, they will be " subjected to untoward
influences," and will require all the help they can
get.
The ultra-Orange Bishop of Cork and the Earl
of Bandon have been making speeches on the Irish
Church. Bishop Gregg declared that he would
neither hoist the white flag nor chew the white
feather. Ile would neither capitulate nor run away,
and he thought that there was no need for anyone
else to do so, seeing that, so far from the battle being
lost, not a single shot had yet been fired. Lord
Bandon (whose brother is an Irish bishop) appeared
to differ from Mr. Disraeli in his ideas of
Ireland for whereas the ex-Premier ascribed
Irish Liilure and cli.soontent to the fact that
Irishmen lived in a moist climate and within
sound of the melancholy ocean, Lord Bandon spoke
of the mild and genial climate, the magnificent har-
bours, the undeveloped fisheries. But it was the Irish
Church which chiefly excited the admiration of the
speaker. It was the one bulwark against Popish
ascendancy ; it had worked wonders in Connemara,
and now that it was sentenced to disestablishment in
the name of justice and peace, there was a bitterer
feeling between the rival Churches than there had
ever en. He believed that Mr. Gladstone intended
to apply the Church revenues to Roman Catholic
purposes. He did not. however, despair of the present
position. Lord Palmerston not long ago had a
majority of seventy, and yet within a year from that
lime was driven from office. -If Mr. Gladstone had
beef in office last year he would never have carried
his Sispensory Bill through the Commons. He
achieved this only because he was in opposition. His
lordship did not add that on that account he would
desire to see Mr. C4ladstone always in office, though
this seems the logical ,deduction from his premise.
There seems to be a pasty in Ireland strongly in
favour of a compromise with respect to the Church.
Various pamphlets and letterz, indicate that this
party is by no means small. It Lc apparently on this
account that the two extremes—Sir' John Gray, Car-
dinal Cullen, and the Nationalists on ,i-he (Lae side, and
Bishop Gregg, Lord Bandon, mid the Orangemen on
alkhex7--aire ratiultageously protestin:sa.gainst any

THE RELIGION OF LORD CAIRNS.

It has during the last day or two been denied that
Lord Cairns is a Presbyterian, but a Mr. Savage
Hall, writing from the Junior Carlton, writes :
" I am a native of and well acquainted with the
same part of the country as his lordship, and know
that he was born of Presbyterian parents;and remained
in that faith while in Ireland; and I am certain he
has never formally joined the Church of England."
A great deal too much has been said on this matter.
It ought to be a purely private one. There is no
reason to suppose that Lord Cairns's private religious
opinions influenced him in determining what are the
religious opinions of the Church of England.
In fact, an outsider is more likely to be
impartial than a member of the Church is.
The latter must have made up his mind
on this point when he joined the party to which he
belongs. Not even the highest of High Churchmen
will venture to affirm that Bishop Baring or Bishop
Waldegrave would have made a more impartial
judge in the late suit than either of the five lawyers
who sat in the Privy Council. Are they not, in fact,
holding up Lord Westbury and Sir William Erle to
admiration, and by .way of contrast to Archbishop
Thomson
