THE CAREY- STREET SITE. —0 ver tures having
been made to the Chancellor of the Exchequer for the pur-
chase of the seven acres of land known as " the Carey-
street site" of the New Courts of Law, the negotiations
have been suspended until the bill for the acquisition of
the new ground in Howe; d-street has been sanctioned by
Parliament. The London and North-Western Railway
Company are, wo believe, not indisposed to treat for the
site as a great central terminus to communicate with the
Metiopolitan District system.—The Owl. _ _

just estiblishecl a political committee, consisting of
fifty M.l'.'s, from every part of the kingdom, and
representing every shade of Liberalism, from that of
the aristocratic Whig to that of advanced Radicalism,
in order to act as arbitrators in all elections at which
rival Liberal candidates are started, and so prevent

The Marquis of TOWNSHEND moved the second
reading of this bill, the otiect (f which was to make
better provision for the regulation of the traffic in
crowded thoroughfares in the metropolis, and also to pro-
vide certain evils that now, he said, were a disgrace to
any civilised society. Barrel organs were also embraced
within the provisions of the bill as nuisances.

THE WAR IN PARAGUAY.

By the French mail steamer Aunis we get some details
of recent engagements in Paraguay. Some 200 Para-
guayans in ambuscade recently attacked an exploring
party of Brazilians, and inflicted a little loss at first.
They were, however, soon driven back. A Brazilian naval
expedition, consisting of three monitors and three small
steamboats, was attacked by the Paraguayans whilst
ascending the unexplored river Manduvira, in search of
the last steamers remaining in the possession of Lopez,-
This expedition advanced up the stream, and overcame—
so say the Brazilians—the obstructions laid by the
Paraguayans, anfl finally got unnoticed behind
Lopez's camp, but the steamers could not be
reached. The Brazilians, however, found plenty of em.
ployment in getting back again to safe quarters, for the
waters of the river rapidly went down, and the Para-
guayans attempted to obstruct their retreat by throwing
into the stream carts laden with stones, large trees, tor-
pedoes, and four times crossing thick ropes from one bank
to the other. The rams of the monitors, however, cut
through these obstructions, and in the meantime their
artillery silenced two guns erected on a battery, and the
fire of about 1,200 Paraguayans posted on both banks.
The expedition got safely back, bringing the important
news that the camp of Lopez was easily accessible by way
of this river.

THE IRISH CHURCH BILL.

The Owl states that a number of amendments to
the Irish Church Bill are-under the consideration of
the Conservative peers who voted in the minority of
the second reading of the bill, and that they will be
laid upon the table to-day or to-morrow by Lord
Cairns. The same paper declares that there is -a
general feeling in'the House of Lords in-favour of
introducing amendments in the bill, embodying the
principle of concurrent endowment. Lord Russell's
extraordinary amendments are given in another
column. With reference to this subject, the Morning
Advertiser writes in its most agonised type—
" That an understanding has been come to between the
Government and the leading Conservative peers, that in
committee on the Irish Church Bill, amendments will be
introduced, having for their object to endow all religions
in Ireland. The Church of England, the Church of
Rome, and Presbyterianism will thus be equally established
and equally paid by the State. And what is more—not
only will amendments to this effect be introduced into the
bill in the Lords, but they will be carried too, unless
the Protestantism of the United Kingdom be at once
thoroughly aroused, and put forth all its power to resist
so monstrous a measure. This appalling state of things
arises from the lamentable and discreditable subserviency

THE EXPLOSION AT lIOUNSLOW.

Mr. BRUCE, in reply to Viscount Enfield, said there
was no permanent inspector of gunpowder works, but
where any demand was made a competent person was at
once sent to make the inspection. About three years ago
an inspection was made of the works at Hounslow, and
everything as far as safety was concerned was considered
highly satisfactory. The cause of the explosion, as far
as it could at present be ascertained, as there had
been no verdict yet returned of the inquest, was
that it had been occasioned by some accident
to the machinery. There did not appear to be any reason
for the apprehension of danger ou the part of those per-
sons living in the vicinity of the works. There had been
no evasion of the precautions laid down in the Gunpowder
Act, neither was there any neglect on the part of the
local authorities.

Sir G. GREY, in reply to Mr. Culling, said he would fix

Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply to Sir R. Anstruther, said
there was every desire to proceed with this bill, but a
postponement of its consideration was necessary for a
short time, but he hoped it would become law during the
present session.

TEE PRICE OF AGGLOMERATION.

The representatives of the small States in the North G er-
man Con federation are beginning to discover that the pri v
lege of being the satellites of Prussia is not to be had Er
nothing. The North German Parliament has just been con.
fronted with a demand fora tax on brandy, with thegratify
ing assurance that this will be speedily followedby imposts
on petroleum, gas, beer, bills of exchange, and stock
transactions. It is the old story. Naval and military
expenses have caused a deficit in the ,North German
Budget, and these taxes are to restore the equilibrium.
The glory of what the French Empercr aalls "agglomera-
tion" becomes more and snore costly.

LONDOW, THURSDAY, APRIL 29, Di 69.

Before Mr. LOWE'S plan in regard to the new Law
Courts shall have been fo!rnally brought under the
, consideration of the House of Commons in the form
of a Bill, as promised to be done, if possible prior to
Whitsuntide, by the Chief Commissioner of Public
Works, it will be worth while considering, again, point-
bl.lnk what are especially referred to as its distinctive
attractions by the projector of it himself, namely, the
right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer. First and foremost, this third plan is particu.-
laily commended to the national regard became of its
being, of all three plan-, t hemost economical. Secondly
—and this is the main merit claimed for it, and the
peculiar reason for its being so economical as com-
pared with the Carey-street Site, and the grand Site
on the Thames Embankment so enthusiastically
eulogised by Sir CHARLES TREVELYAN—it is to have
no frontage in the Strand ! It is to have simply one
front, and not two fronts, North and South, as with
each of the other two scllemcs for a Palace of Jus-
tice ! IlenCe the economy. Hence the simplicity of
the projected new arrangement. Ifil away behind
Howard-street, at the back of the Strand, there will
be no necessity whatever, according to Mr. LowE's ar-
gument, for anything like architeeturul ornamentation
or artistic display. Both the other plans front openly
to the Strand. In the instance of the Carey-street
plan, the southern Lcade of the vast structure will
be on the north side of the eastern extremity of the
Strand, between St. Clement Danes and Temple-
bar, or rather between St. Clement Danes and
Chancery-lane—seeing that Temple-bar will, in all
likeiihc,o3, be removc-sd from its present position to

PL: :NY POSTAGE LEMEEN ENGLAND AM) AMELICA,

fr. Ileverdy Johmonhas placed in the hands of the Earl
of Clarendon a copy of a despatch by Mr. Seward on the
zul,ject of cheap ocean postage. Mr. Seward is strongly
in favour of the proposed reform. Ile says : " Ti.e
General Postal Department of the United States has
always favoured the establishment of cheap rates of letter
postage between this country and Great Britain and Ireland,
The Postmaster-General is gratified that this reform is
advocated by statesmen so well quali;:ed to appreciate
its importance, and trusts that they may be successful in
inducing the General Post Department at London to-con-
sent to a further reduction of the rate of international
letter postage to the lowest practicable standard." Un-
fortunately the besetting vice of English reform is slow-
ness of movement. When the present convention between
England and America was negotiated, the postal department
of the United States advocated a reduction of the exist-
ing rate, but the British Government urged the everlasting
`• To.morrow." Our Postmaster• General declined to make
any reduction, but engaged, says Mr. Seward, "to take
the subject into consideration at the end of twelve months
from the date at which the convention took effect." Mr.
Reverdy Johnson is also strongly in favour of a penny
nostage.

THE NIGHT HOUSES.

Mr. BRUCE, in reply to the question as to what the Go-
vernment proposed with respect to the conflict of opinion
that had taken place between Mr. Knox and Sir Wm.
Bodkin, the assistant-judge. The question was not so
much one of law, as the amount of evidence necessary to
ensure a conviction. Mr. Justice Blackburn had given an
opinion which referred to the matter, and he had that
afternoon received a letter from deputy-Assistant Judge
Payne, which stated that the subject would come
on for consideration and decision before the Cou t of
Quarter Sessions to-morrow, and the course he proposed
w:.s to wait until that decision had boon given b .fore they
took upon themselves the duty of atnewling the law in
order that it might be made sufficient to carry out what
was the obvious intention of the Leg'slature.

SETTLEIIENT OF THE BELGIAN RAILWAY DIFFICULTY.

The Constitutionnel announces that the negotiations
between France and Belgium are terminated, and that a
settlement has been agreed upon. On Monday evening or
Tuesday morning a convention was to have been signed by
which certain principles were to be laid down "relative to
the establishment on a scale of the greatest magnitude of
an international service, tariffs, and in short everything
relating to the traffic between the two countries." The
Constitutionnel adds that these details will, as a whole, be
equivalent to the ratification of the contracts with the
East of France Company. Put it would seem that the
contracts have not been ratified—the French company has
not got the leases. The semi-official paper thus admits
that Belgium has held out against the demands of France,
and not, as a Belgian journal feared, covertly yielded to
them. We must, however, wait for the exact truth on
this point. The ?lin vention between the two Governments

RESULTS or ARMED PEACE.

There is a turn in the tide of British partiality for lending
money to foreign countries. The market has been so
swamped with foreign stocks that these usually lively
investments have become noticeably languid. The new
Spanish Loan has been offered at an extraordinarily low
price, and yet can with difficulty be kept at par. The last
Russian Loan has met with a very unfavourable recep-
tion, though Russia for several years past has
been the favoured land of the investor. What is the
meaning of this loss of credit ? Simply that capitalists
are becoming seriously alarmed. The States of Europe,
whilst proclaiming peace, never cease to prepare for war.
Year by year immense sums are borrowed at increasing
rates of interest. There can be but one result of this
suicidal policy. The bondholder will be robbed in some
way; either by direct repudiation, or by taxing the
coupons, as in the case of Austria and Italy. Hence
capitalists are beginning to declare that they will lend no
more.

FREE ADMISSIONS.

---- ---
Some of the theatrical folk are complaining of the
system which prevails of filling houses with persons
who have not paid for their places. It is said that
there is hardly a theatre in London which is paying
its expenses. The reason for this is said to be that most
theatre-goers know where to get free admissions.
They don't want to pay where they can see and hear
for nothing. The managers reply that they cannot
help themselves. The public will have full houses.
An empty house begets a still emptier one. Cer-
tainly the managers ought to know their own inte-
rest best. But it would be worth while, as the
present system does not pay. trying the new one.

LONDON, THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 1869.

Before Mr. Lon E's plan in regard to the new Law
Courts shall have been fotmally brought under the
consideration of the House of Commons in the form
of a Bill, as promised to be done, if possible prior to
Whitsuntide, by the Chief Commissioner of Public
Works, it will be worth while considering, again, poin t-
bl nk what are especially referred to as its distinctive
attractions by the projector of it himself, namely, the
right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer. First and foremost, this third plan is particu-
larly commended to the national regard because of its
being, of all three plan?, themost economical. Secondly
—and this is the main merit claimed for it, and the
peculiar reason for its being so economical as com-
pared with the Carey-street Site, and the grand Site
on the Thames Embankment so enthusiastically
eulogised by Sir CHARLES TREVELYAN—it is to have
no frontage in the Strand ! It is to have simply one
front, and not two fronts, North and S3uth, as with
each of the other two SCherrit s for a Palace of Jus-
tice ! Hence the economy. Hence the simplicity of
the projected new arrangement. Ili.] away behind
Howard-street, at the back of the Strand, there will

be no necessity whatever, according to Nr. LOWE'S ar-
ginen t, foranything like architectural ornamentation
or artistic display. Both the otberplans front openly
to the Strand. In the instance of the Carey-street
p!an, the southern fac.kde of the vast structure will
be on the north side of the eastern extremity of tho
Strand, between St. Clem2l t Danes and Temple-

or rather between Sr. Ciewent Dane.;
Chamcery-lann —seeing that Temple-bar will, in all
likelihood, be removed from present pwition to
be re-erected opposite the southern extremity of
Chancery-lace, as one of the entrances to the
