THE MAGIC OF RAILWAYS.

Great undertaking as is the Pacific Railway across the
American continent, and just as is the praise which has '
been bestowed upon it, we ought not to lose sight of still
more remarkable works which have been success.
fully achieved by British enterprise. The Indian
railways are undoubtedly a more striking triumph
of science than even the Pacific line. Nearly
4,000 miles are now in operation, and about 1,665
miles are sanctioned and remain to be completed. All
this work bad to be executed many thousands of miles
from England, where the capital was raised. The mate-
rials had in great measure to be conveyed from this
country. Five thousand three hundred and thirty-nine
shiploads of goods have been taken out for the construc-
tion of Indian railways. No such difficulty was met with
in America. The engineering obstacles experienced in
crossing jungles, forests, and mountains were not less for-
midable than those which beset the Americans in the Rocky
Mountains.
The results of these enterprises have been proportionate
to their magnitude. The railways have revolutionised
India. The .Railway News states that last year nearly
fourteen millions of passengers were conveyed on the
lines of our Oriental Empire, and of these it is
noteworthy that more than thirteen millions were
third-class passengers. " Those scruples of religion
and distinctions of caste which have been for so
many ages the bane of Indian society are fast disap-
pearing before that mighty leveller of the age—the loco-
motive. Separate carriages or compartments were in the
first instance provided for women, in deference to the
feeling of dislike universally entertained at wives or
daughters being seen by strangers ; separate accommo-
dation for different castes was also provided. Now all is
changed, or rapidly undergoing a change. Brahmins,
too, of the purest blood travel in the third-class car-
riages, huddled iu crowds with the most wretched
Pariah, whose very presence near the household roof
would in former times be regarded as the most deadly
pollution."

PARLIAMENTARY MAJORITIES.

The Economist compares
.the chief parliamentary
majorities of the last half century. Lord Liverpool's
was as coherent and as despotic as the present, but
it was resolved to do nothing, and did nothing;
whereas the present is resolved to do a great deal,
and is doing it. Fifty years ago '4 the spirit of Lord
Sidmouth—the spirit which then and since hes been
the bane of English Conservatism—the spirit of
careful formality and conscientious tiresomeness—
prevailed. The present majority is as superior to
Lord Liverpool's as an animal which can run and
desires to run is above an animal that is just able to
crawl but does not wish to crawl." Lord Grey's
majority was much too mobile. There was
no coherency ; there was a general desire to do
a great deal; but no consistency or. steadfastness
of purpose. The yoke of the constituencies was not
so heavy upon the members as it is now. It was not
true then, as it is now, that "you may enter a cave,but
you will not find a seat there." Sir R. Poel'smajority
was large, but was united upon a false opinion. "A.
consciousness of the necessity of agricultural protec-
tion created it, and fora time maintained it. But
that conviction could not stand the wear and tear of
real life. It resembled the opinions which young
men bring to London, and which London soon
takes from them. The air of Downing-street was
opposed to the Corn Laws, and belief in them soon
died out. But there is no such prejudice in the
minds of the present majority. Certainly they are
not combined on a false tradition, whatever else they
maybe. Moreover, the present majority is the only real
political force left in existence." The house of Lords
has ceased to exist as a political power, and knows
that if it enters upon a struggle with the majority,
it will have everything to lose and nothing to gain.
Another fact worth noting is the strength of tie
present Government. "No personal Government,
however despotic, can compare with the present
Ministry. The French Emperor could no more dis-
establish the Irish Church as Mr. Gladstone is doing,
than he could destroy Protection as Sir E. Peel did.
Whatever else may be said against England and the
English Constitution, she has, and the Constitution
has given her, the strongest Government in Europe."

THE GOVERNMENT OF PARAGUAY.

A great number of Paraguayans have signed a petition
to the Allied Governments, requesting the immediate
establishment of a Provisional Government at Asuncion.
Lopez has been driven out, the Allies have set up no
definite authority ; anarchy menaces the unfortunate
Paraguayans. President Sarmiento, representing the
Argentine Republic, has assured the petitioners that his
State had no design of subverting the independence of
Paraguay when it joined the Brazilians in the war against
Lopez. Serious fears are entertained of the fate of Mr.
MacMahon, the American. Ambassador to Lopez. Nothing
has been heard of him for four months.

CONFESSION.

One of the Church papers states that "one of the
priests of All Saints', Margaret-street, . heard 300
confessions during last Lent, while another connected
with the same church received 100 first confessions,
of which about eighty were from men." We believe
that the practice of confession is very largely on the
increase in London.

TUE RECENT ROYAL TOUR.

Messrs. Routledge have, it is stated, made arrange-
ments with Dr. 'Howard Russell, of the Times, who
accompanied the Prince and the Princess of Wales
in their recent tour to publish a narrative of their
journey. The boos is likely to be produced very
shortly, although Dr. Russell is not remarkable fcr
rapidity of production, and his novel, " Dr. Brady,"
had to be abstracted from him with almost as much
difficulty as an opera from Rossini.

EXTENSION OP THE EPISCOPATE.

The John Bull states that Mr. Gladstone has been
requested to receive a deputation early next month
in favour of an increase of the Episcopate. A public
meeting is spoken of. It need hardly be said that
Mr. Gladstone would give any well-considered and
practicable plan for extending the Episcopate his
hearty support. • Tie is not one of those who sympa-
thise with the Royal Commissioners on the Irish
Church, who proposed to abolish bishops in order to
keep the Church revenues intact. In his opinion, if
the choice has to be made between the.two, it is the
money, not the fathers of the Church, that ought to
be sacrificed.

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 shat are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

THE ENGLISH JOINT-S7OCK BANK

PROSECUTION.

To-day Captain Mangles, Mr. Abbias, Mr. Bradshaw,
and Mr. Finney again appeared before the Lord Mayor on
summonses which charged them with conspiring together
to defraud the shareholders.

Mr. Kemp, the accountant, who had examined the ac-
counts of the concern, said the loss, on the failure of Roger
and Olding's bank, amounted to £66,ooo—the whole of
the money paid for the transfer. The proceedings were
again adjourned.

EXTRAORDINARY MATCH.—A match of a novel nature
was made on the Monday night previous to the races, be-
tween Mr. Graham, the well-known owner of Formosa,
and Squire Dowding, who races under the name of Mr.
Edwyn, in which the former backed himself to ride For-
mosa against The Squire on Needle Gun, one mile, during
the Ascot Meeting, for £5O a-side, catch-weights. On the
following morning, however, Mr. Graham paid £lO forfeit
to have the match declared off.

body, canary sleeves, violet and canary quartered, cap ;
second colour, same, and violet cap. Mr. Black: Blue,

Tynedale Hunt Cup has been overruled.
WINt.SOR SUMMER MEETIEO.—The entries for this
meeting promise strong fields. The Eton Handicap has
obtained sixty-ono subscribers, the Two Year Old Plate
twenty-eight, the .Nursery fifty-three, Rays Handicap
forty-two,s Thames Handicap Plate forty-s, Windsor
Handicap ,ixty-four, Welter Cop thirty-two, and the
Surly Hall Handicap thirty-four.

Hawley in the Walton Manor Stakes.
Airdrie Races have been fixed for Thursday and Friday,

EMIGRANTS TO CANADA.

About a month ago, it will be remembered, a party of
320 emigrants were sent out from East London by the
Hon. Mrs. Hobart and others. It is gratifying to learn
from a Canadian paper that the voyage has been made
in safety, that the party has passed into the interior,
and that no difficulty is experienced in finding employ-
ment.

MR. LIDDON ON DISESTABISIDIENT.

The ablest men in the Church are now setting an
example of moderation which might be followed with
advantage by the soi-disant political friends of the
Church. Men like Bishop Greg, Mr. Charley, Sit G eorge
Jenkinson, and the rest, might calm their perturbed
spirits if they would but hearken to the advice of
such men as Bishop Selwyn, Dr. Vaughan, of Don-
caster, and Mr. Liddon. All of these, and many
other devoted friends of the Church whom we might
mention, have spoken openly of disestablishment as
an event extremely likely, and probably close at hand,
but not in any way alarming. •Mr. Liddon
has just been speaking at a meeting of
leading High Churchmen in Oxford, including
Canon Bright, Dr. Pusey, and Mr. Lowder.
Ile pointed out the distinction to be made between
the general principle of a union between the Church
and the State, and the particular circumstances
which attend that union at the present time in
England. He weighed the comparative advantages
and disadvantages of disestablishment, and urged,
with great force, that the duty of Churchmen, indi-
vidually and in corporate bodies such as the Church
Union, is not in any way to hasten disestablishment,
but quietly to prepare for it, so as not to be at a loss
how to act when, in the providence of God, " that
which is clearly inevitable" is actually brought about.

Mn. FORSTER AND TUE IT.NIVF.IVITIE°.
Mr. Forster complained in his recent speech that
a degree could not be obtained at either of the
universities till the age of 22. What he meant is
not very clear. " A man who wants merely to
obtain the highest culture" he said " could not obtain
a degree till he was two-and-twenty." Maybe this
remark was directed against the general system of
education ; for the highest culture is not generally
attained till 22 ; but as generally accepted it has
been understood to refer to somo special rule of the
universities. Even then it is not applicable ; there is
no such rule. There is nothing whatever to prevent
a man obtaining his degree at 20, or even at an earlier
age, if he passes the requisite examinations. It has
frequently happened that the highest honours have
been obtained by men much younger than 22. With
regard to Mr. Forster's complaint about the length
of time a man is obliged to spend at the universitieS,
Professor Fawcett writes that it had recently been
considerably shortened. " When I first went to
Cambridge, an under-graduatcwho entered in October
could not obtain his degree until the following
January three years; now he is admitted to his
degree in the following June two years. If the time
of residence is still further shortened, one of two
things must occur—either the
.university examina-
tions must be made much less diffi.ciut, or boys must
be sent up from school Lettei prepared than at
present."

FINANCIAL REVELATIONS.

The revelations being made at the Mansion House
concerning the business operations of the English
Joint-Stock Bank are not calculated to raise the
prevailing estimation of financiers. The love for
commissions obtains hold everywhere. Directors
and other officers of companies are paid by the share-
holders for doing their business for them ; are paid
by those with whom they negotiate on be-
half of the shareholders ; are paid again by
those through whom they negotiate ; and
in effect all three sums of money come from the
pockets of the shareholders. We do not mean for
one moment to say that the said well-paid financiers
do not go to the best men to do business. Only
there is, it must be admitted, the danger that they
will go to the men who give the largest commissions.
Mr. Finney, for instance, was the secretary of the
Joint-Stock Bank, and had to make arrangements for
the buying of the firm of Olding and Co. Ile chose
a Mr. Weller to make the negotiations. Mr. Weller
made them ; and the directors voted him £4,000 for
his trouble. What followed may best be described
by Mr. Weller himself :

"He received from Mr. Finney for negotiating the
transaction £4,000 on the 7th of November. The money
was paid him in four £l,OOO notes, two of which he handed
hack to Mr. Finney. Being asked why he returned
£2,000 of the money, witness replied the conversation took
a peculiar turn, which shewed that Mr. Finney would
expect two of the £l,OOO notes. It was written, he added,
in fact, in large letters on the wall. Being asked why
he assumed the secretary would require a douceur, witness
replied, amid much laughter, and with a significant gesture,
There was no precise authority,' but it was everywhere—
allabout."'

It appears that Mr. Finney swore in Chancery that
he had received no moneys in this affair, for Mr.
Lewis gave notice that he should apply for a
summons for perjury against him.

THE FRENCI ATLANTIC CABLE.

An important question is raised by a corres-
pondent of the Daily News relative to the
French Atlantic Cable. The French Emperor has
granted twenty years monopoly to the layers of the
new line. Seeing that such a line is international;
that a cable worked by a one-sided company might give
advantages to those who live in one country and
deny them to dwellers in the other ; that, in fact,
France might establish a kind of Protection against
the United States, it is a question whether the
Emperor is justified in thus using his power.

FOREIGN NOTES.
ANOTHER DIFFICULTY wtTrl srAnt,

The Spaniards, in their seal against the Cuban Insure
gents, have once more, if we may believe the Nano.*
Herald, forgotten themselves. Another insult to Great
Britain in the Bahamas is reported by this journal, A
Spanish steam-tng, tile Maria Louisa, captured a well-known
blockade-runner, the Yarra, near the entrance of Slaughter
Harbour, and then latided a force of from ninety to A
hundred MON armed with bayonets and pistols, to capture
her escaped captain and crew. They are said to have
proceeded to the Great Stirrups Cay, and searched houses
there. Subsequently they landed a force on others of the
Bahama group of islands, and searched the houses of seve•
ral planters. A police magistrate and a British naval officer
asked for an explanation from the Spanish officer. This
Was found unsatisfactory, and a report of the " atrocious
Outrage" has accordingly been sent to England.

ITALIAN DESIGNS ON ROME.
The Tablet, in common with other journals of very
different politics, believes the union of the Tuscans
under Menabrea with the riedmontese to be nothing
else than a combination to effect a change in the relationii
between Italy and Rome, " the hkil°°ritkai 611°41414
of the sof-Odra Conservative (111enabrea's) party in
Florence is far more dangerous to Rome than all the plots
of Lugano." Lavalette, the Tablet thinks, will readily
embrace any pretext for withdrawing the Vrench troops)
and then—what can be expected of Minghetti and
Mordini, the Garibaldian?

MAZZII4I.
Mazzini has addressed "to his enemies" a manifesto of
some importance. Ire denies all complicity with the revo,
lutionary attempts at Milan and Naples and he even
asserts that he did all in his power to ptevent theni.
Nevertheless he holds to the belief that the litouse of
Savoy has failed to complete the work of Italian unity,
and a Republic is, therefore, the inevitable consequence.

TIIE GREAT ORANGE SHOW.

The great Orange Show of the year—that which
most amuses the people, and which in tho Quietest

times never falls tq " craw " we::--is ae:d in tho'
vicinity of Searv4bi the county of Down, It is a
representation of the battle of the Boyne. Some
15,000 persons v,itnessed the ridiculous travesty this
year. King William 111. was represented in flowing
robes of orange, mounted on a plough-horse, and
attended by two " generals," who looked as if they
had been specially engaged from a travelling theatre.
His brave army consisted of an awkward squad of about
30 men, dressed in monstrous orange uniforms, and
carrying firelocks old enough to have done duty at
the Boyne. The figure of King James was not cal-
culated to convey a very exalted notion of regal
dignity. He appeared in a suit like a bedgown, and
carried in addition to his sword a large gingham
umbrella. The sound of ear-splitting fifes
innumerable, and of huge drums beaten as
if by machinery, mingled with the rattle
of muskets, the shouts, cheers, and 8007(3
of a multitude numbering from 12,000 to 15
people, made the terrible encounter between the
hostile forces an indescribable scene of ludicrous ex-
citement. After a hand-to-hand combat King
James was taken prisoner and the army put to rout.
Cheers were then given for the " glorious, pious, and
immortal memory," and for the " Church and the
Orange Institution." Thus the principles of Pro-
testantism are impressed on the people.

INDIAN AFFAIRS.

When Parliament does condescend to come down
from important local affairs to the trivial occupa-
tion of considering the Empire of India, it seems
likely that it will have to discuss some new propo-
sals, and one especially of railway extension and
reform. It is said to be the intention of the Duke
of Argyll on Monday next to communicate to the
House of Lords a proposal for the undertaking on
the part of the Government of Indian railways, a
board representing the shareholders being appointed
to work with the Ciovernment. New lines arealso to be
proposed, and various reforms brought under the
notice of the House.

BISHOP JENNEB.

Bishop Jenner is about to turn up again, like a
bad penny. Consecrated in 1865, ho reached his
diocese after between three and four years lingering
in England. But, though too late, he was too soon.
His flock will not be shepherded by him, and he
is about to return to England, where ho will be, we
suppose, a sort of bishop in partilus, available for
any incapable bishop who is not afraid of Dr. Jenner's
very pronounced views.

LEICESTER.

A public meeting was held in the Temperance Hall on
Tuesday evening, in order to support the Government on
the Irish Church Bill. Resolutions were passed approv-
ing of the Irish Church Bill as it left the House of Com-
mons as being in harmony with the resolutions of that

and Harris.

A public meeting was held in the Town Hall on Wed.
nesday night, at which a resolution expressing determined
opposition to the proposals of concurrent endowments

IMPERIAL 2ARLIALMT

HOUSE OF LORDS-LAST EVENING.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his soat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

The Marquis of TOWNSEND moved the second read-
ing of the Children's Protection Bill, which was agreed
without a division.
ENDOWED SCHOOLS BILL.

The Duke of RICHMOND objected to the powers given
to the Commissioners by this bill as too extemive, and
Foceeded to give reasons for their being in some degree
testrietee.

Tho bill, after a long discuasion, passed through com-
mittee, and their lordships adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING.
The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.
THE TRUCK ACT.

Mr. BRUCE, in reply to Sir 1). Wedderburn, said he
had become acquaiut3d with the infringement of the
Truck Act. He intended to consult the Lord Advocate,
to see what could be done iu the matter.
PORT PAT RICK HARBOUR.

Mr. BRIGRT said the sum of £137 had bean set aside
to liquidate the current claims for repairs at Portpatrick,
and the Treasury proposed to find funds to take down
the lighthouse which was not now used, and which was
in danger of falling and obstructing the channel.
London, England, 1869-07-16

THE HOUSE OF LORDS.

The Star, assuming that the Lords will throw
out the Irish Church Bill, has an article full
of menace against that illustrious body. Their lord-
ships are vehemently accused of having
.never
resisted a bad bill, and of having never faikd to
resist a good one. All the great reforms of the last
forty years are detailed, and Vie treatment which
they received from the Pecis described. , Their
lordships are told that the country is
weary of them and their fictitious grandeur,
that the superstitious apathy with which the obstruc-
tiveness of the Peers 1 a 3 been viewed hitherto is at
an end. The country is weary of that obstructiveness,
of that "mischievous abstird:ty, and are stronziy
disposed to visit it, not with idle wrath, but mith
some very efficacious cure. Popular surgery
is not often forthcoming, but when it does come
it is always thorough. This chronic evil of
patrician obstruction may probably be cut out of our
political system at no distant day with less ado than
a yen. ago we might have expected." If this is Mr.
John Morley's writing we do not congratulate our
contemporary upon its new editor. This stlge-
thunder style of writing is out of date. If there is
to be any great change in the constitution of the
Legislature, if not by eloquence cf the Beales
type that it w. 1 b; brought about.

NEWCASTLE.

A large and enthusiastic public meeting was held on
Wednesday night in the Lecture Hall, Newcastle. The
spacious amphitheatre was crowded to the doors,
and hundreds of persons went away, unable to
gain admission. The greatest enthusiasm and
unanimity prevailed throughout, every resolution being
carried unanimously. Mr. Joseph Cowen, jun., occu•
pied the chair. The following letter was read from
Mr. Gladstone :---" Carlton-house-terrace, July 13.—My
dear Sir,—One line to assure you that on this critical occa-
sion the Government, as I trust, will not be found wanting
either to their supporters, or, what is yet more important,
to their engagements, and to thank you for your letter.—
Faithfully yours, W. E. GLADSTONE." The immense
audience on this rose and cheered continuously for some
minutes. Resolutions were carried, denouncing concur.
rent endowment, and asking the Ministry to restore the
bill to its original shape.

LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 16, 1869.

Mr. GLADSTONE went directly to the point yester-
day evening when moving—on the Order of the Day in
regard to the Irish Church Bill—that the House of
Commons should proceed to consider the Lords'
Amendments. Within the compass of a very few
sentences—some twelve or fourteen altogether—he
explained very clearly to the House the course pro-.
posed to be taken in this matter by Vie Government.
Without running seriatim through the whole for-
midable list of the amendments introduced into the
measure during its recent passage through the House
or Lords, the right lion. gentleman contented himself
with referring to what may b.! called the salient Amend -
melts. These were eleven in number. In reg trd to the
Amendment on the preamble, and therefore, of course,
the first and foremost of all the Amendments, the
Premier said, " I shall move to dis rgree from that
amendment." Not satisfied with which suffi,-.;:ently
plain intimation, ho wever, he added immediately, what
might have been readily enough inferred, that he should
propose " to replace it by the original worth" for
which those of the amendment had been tubstituted.
Equally distinct and emphatic was his comment in
regard to the second amendment—" I shall move to
replace the date adopted by this House." With re
ference to the third amendment, that relating to the

TAXES ON USEFUL KNOWLEDGE.

Twenty-one years ago an association was formed
for agitating against taxes which prevented the
spread of education. The Paper tax, the newspaper
stamp, and impediments to printing and publishing,
were each denounced. The society—the " A ssocia.
tiOn for Promoting the Eepeal of Taxes on Know-
ledge"—has just now ceased to exist, its purposo
having been accomplished. The last evil which it
strove to remove was the newspaper security system.
An Act for the repeal of that system received the
royal assent on Wednesday. Clearly we have made
some little progress since '4B.
