THE ORANGEMEN.

A great Orange demonstration took place at Hilton
Park, Clones, on Saturday. The muster was not
fewer than 130,000 persons, representing 140 lodges.
Besolutions were passed censuring the Government
for dismissing Captain Coote, the Iligh-Sheriff of
Monaghan. The Irish Church Act was condemned,
as well as the Party Processions Act. The Orange-
men'seem to have been exceptionally lively that day.
There was a slight affray at Ballybay, though it did
not terminate in any serious disturbance. Altogether
the renorts from the North of Ireland for the last
few days have been as satisfactory as possible.

THE NEW BANKRUPTCY ACT.

The new Bankruptcy Act has been issued, and
will come into effect on the lst of January. Under
its pro►-isions the jurisdiction in commercial matters
will be transferred to a new court, of which one of
the present conunissioners will be the chief judge,
the post to be afterwards filled by a judge of the
superior courts. As by this new measure the power
of a debtor to make himself a bankrupt will be taken
away, it is expected that there will be a great rush
to the Gazette during +he next few months. People
who ha►•e made a trade of declaring themsel►•es
bankrupt will naturally desire to embrace the last
opportunity. Next January the golden age comes
to an end. The power of culling in the aid of the
Bankruptcy Court will be transferred from the
debtor to the creditor. or can the former obtain
his order of discharge, except by the consent of
his creditors, unless he have made up a
minimum dividend of li's. in the pound. The
status of an undischarged bankrupt is that no
portion of a debt payable is to be enforced against
the property of a bankrupt until the expiration of
three years, and if, during that time, he makes up
beyond the di►-idend 10s. in the pound, he is to ob-
tain his order of discharge, and, after three years,
the debt proved is to be in the nature of a judgment
debt, and may be enforced against the property of
the debtor. Liquidation by arrangement and com-
position are also the subject of changes.

IMPRISONMENT FOR DEPT.

Companion to the Banliruptcy Dill is the measure
for the Abolition of Imprisonment for Debt. This
infliction, however, is not wholly done away with.
There are certain exceptions, relating to payments
of penalties recoverable before justices, for miscon-
duct, &c. Fraudulent debtors in bankruptcy or
under liquidation for certain offences before juries
can be imprisoned, with or without hard labour, and
in the excepted cases before mentioned imprisonment
is not to be longer than one year. For damages for
seduction or breach of promise of marriage impri-
sonment is abolished.
TRADES-UNION DEMONSTRATION.

The locked-out miners of South Yorkshire obtained
the use of Mr. Clapham's park, at Leeds, on Satur-
day, for an out-door demonstration. After the
demonstration came a meeting, at which Mr. Alder-
man Carter, M.P., set forth the arguments on the
strength of which he supported trades unions.
U nicht was power ; without it the w.s Allan was weak,
and at the mercy of the capitalise, Mr. Carter ridi-
culed some of the remarks in Kte report recently
presented to Parliament, especially a sentence to the
effect that disputes would soon be settled if it were
not for trades unions. No doubt they would,
said Mr. Carter, but how ? " Turn a great big
capitalist out in opposition to a poor, slavish fellow,
with all the consciousness of a wife and children
starving, and how soon matters would be settled 1 "
The sympathetic audience enjoyed this and similar
sallies amazingly. The worthy Alderman condemned
the House of Commons and the Government for not
passing the Mines Inspection Bill.

THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH.

The Duke of Edinburgh is expected to spend about

Great preparations are being made fir the Durbar at
Agra, after which the Viceroy will take his royal guest
to Lucknow, Lahore, and the Central Provinces. Distress
to a large extent prevails in the Punjab, and Government
has bad to make large remissions of revenue.

ORAAGE LOYALTY.

The Birkenhead Advertiser publisnes the following :
The members of the Schomberg Orange Lodge held a
meeting a day or two back at the Palatine Hotel,
Birkenhead, W.M. Brother Harper in the chair,
sad D.M. Brother Garnet the vice - chair. Tile
worthy chaplain, Brother Shaw, having read a portion
of God's word, the usual monthly business was proceeded
with. At the close of the business Brother Jobson read
the Coronation Oath as taken by her Majesty on her
ascending the throne, and reminded the brethren of the
shameful manner that oath had been violated. He said
that their obligations to the Queen were now at an
end, and for the future no toast was to be
drunk to the health of the Queen or the Prince
of Wales. The lodge then closed in due form, when
refreshments were served, and the W.M., on rising, said :
" Worthy Deputy and Brethren, we hitherto have been a
political, as well as religious, society. Now things are
very different. For the future we are a religions society
only, and in our organisation we must know and support
our friends only, in independence of any State or Power, to
the best advantage of the Protestant reformed religion. I
have always been brought up in loyalty and taught to
consider as a most heinous crime any departure from the
respect accorded to our royal ruler, but since she so far
forgot herself as to sign that rascally Robbery Bill (as
did also the Prince of 'Wales) my allegiance is at an
end. (` Hear, hear,' and cries of `Same here'); therefore I
propose to you the health and'success of our sailor prince,
' The Duke of Edinburgh.'" Next followed the charter
toast, viz., " The pious, glorious, and immortal memory
of William 111., Prince of Orange," and also many songs
and recitations till a proper hour for separating.

CHTTRCH PATRONAGE.

Some persons are disposed to believe that the Duk
St. Alban's -in conceding to the parishioners of
Redbourne the right of choosing their own clergy-
man, has not set a salutary example. Grave,
scandals, it is feared, may be the consequence if the
principle of parishes electing their own ministers
be very generally adopted. AU the uproar
and party feeling of a political contest
will be realised in the election of a clergy-
man. But it must not be overlooked that the
patronage of more than twenty benefices is now
vested in the parishioners, several hundreds are in
the hands of trustees, and some thirty are disposed
of by the Church Patronage Society. What " grave
scandals" occur in these cases ? If a little excite-
ment is developed in the process of choosing, is it a
worse evil than treating the parishioners like
children, and selling the supervision of souls to the
highest bidder ?

LAW AND POLICE.

THE LIVERPOOL ROYAL BANK. =At Liverpool, on
Friday, an action was brought against Mr. Bibby, a
director of the Royal Bank, Liverpool, by one of the
shareholders, charging him with issuing an incorrect
report of the affairs of the bank in 1863. The judge said
that the case was too complicated for a jury, and it was
decided that he should refer it to the master of his court.
No personal imputation was made against Mr. Bibby.
THE WOOLWICH FRAUDS.—The three persons charged
with defrauding the Government at the Woolwich Arsenal
have been committed for trial, bail being refused as there
were other cases against them.

OUTRAGE IN SOUTH LONDON.—At Lambeth Police-court,
on Friday, Mrs. Peake was sufficiently recovered to give
evidence concerning the attack made upon her on the oth
of August. She identified the prisoner Paull as the man
who entered the house and attacked her. The prisoner
was committed for trial at the next sessions of the Central
Criminal Court.

TII2 .E AGE DZIP2ICULTY.

Mr. Angus Holden is trying an interesting ei:peri•
ment with sewage at Bradford. The corporation of
that town have placed at his disposal a piece of
ground adjoining the main sewer outfall, and here
Mr. Holden has erected works to test the practica-
bility of deodorising and utilising the polluted waters
hitherto flowing from the within, and poisoning
the streams of the district. The apparatus
came into operation only a week ago ; but
hitherto the results are satisfactory. The
process adopted is of French invention, and
under its operation the foul water is completely
deprived of its impure matter. Of course this is only
a small experiment. In order to purify 21, millions
of gallons a day an outlay in plant of £14,000 would
be needed. The cost of working this quantity would
be about fal Bs. 4d. daily, or one penny for every
1,000 gallons. Against this is to be set the value of
the manure extracted. How much of this 2 millions
A gallons would yield is not clear ; but it is thought
there could at all events be no great loss. Mr.
Holden calculates that the manure extracted by this
process could be sold for 17s. Gd. per ton—one
'mirth of the pride charged at Leamington—and yet
yield a profit. The experiment is viewed
with much interest by the people of Bradford,
simply because they are compelled to find some
means of preventing the pollution of the local streams
before January 1872.

CO-OPERATIVE SHIP-DUILDING.

The prospects of shipbuilding on the banks of the
Thames are looking a little brighter. For several
years past this industry has been in a woeful state of
stagnation in East London. In the hope of
restoring the trade to something like its former pros-
perity, the shipwrights of Deptford have had the
project of a co-operative yard under consideration.
A difficulty has, however, arisen. The Admiralty
has been asked to let a portion of the dockyard;
but, in reply, the authorities state that offers have
been made for its purchase as a whole. The Dept-
ford shipwrights consider this good news. It
frustrates to some extent the co-operative project,
but it is believed that the yard under its new owners
will find work for many persons who are sadly in
want of it.

AT.j.':,TRALIAN AND CHINA TELEGRAPHS.

If the numerous submarine telegraph enterprises
now in project come to maturity we shall soon have a
complete system of cables round the entire world.
One of the most important of the schemes at present
under consideration is that for carrying the telegraph
system of British India into other eastern lands. At
present the wires of our Asiatic Empire end at
Point de Calle, in the Island of Ceylon. It is designed
to extend them to the Straits Settlements, China, and
Australia. This enterprise will be worthy of atten-
tion, as affording a trial on a very extensive scale of
Mr. C. F. Varley's light cable. Sir W. Thomson,
who has carefully compared the merits of the heavy
and light systems, decides in favour of the latter. It
is, of course, of much less weight, and therefore not
so liable to injury in laying down. Perfect protec-
tion to the electric wire is afforded by the light cable.
Nor are these its only merits. " On a bad bottom, in
deep water, the new form of cable would bo safer in
respect of listing a greater number of years than an
iron-clad cable, as the rusting of an iron wire at
places where it may hang over rocks is a conceivable
cause of loss."

THE AUSTRIAN MILITARY FRONTIER.

The official Vienna Gazette has published the full test
of the Austrian Emperor's autograph letters respecting
the changes in contemplation on the military frontier.
The letters are addressed to the Minister of War, the
Austrian Minister President, and Count Andrasrp.
His Majesty as yet proceeds very cautiously. He only
provides for the disembodiment of the two regiments et
the district of Warasdin, and the detached companies
the regiment of Stain, their territories being given oven
with those of the towns of Wissek and Zeng, to the
respective civil administrations. There is some excitement
on the subject in the district, and a deputation.
has come to Vienna to wait upon the Emperor pot%
sonally, and learn his real intentions. It is to be hopo4
that the Austrian and Hungarian delegations will be able
to come toan arrangement on the subject. The Hungarian
delegation held back its report on the war estimates till
some decision was taken in the matter, and the Austrian
delegation refused, by a very large majority, to allow any
thing in the estimates towards the cost of the military
frontier. It is thought that the Austrians already regret
their hasty resolution, which surrenders the whole control
of the district to Hungary—the very result which they,
wished to avoid—and that they will take an opportunity
of withdrawing from an embarrassing and obstructive
position.

SHAKSPERIAN OBSCURITIES.

Mr. Dion Boucicault and Mr. Chatterton both tell
us that it is impossible to put Shakspere's plays
upon the stage, as the public does not appreciate
them. The Daily News suggests as one among
many reasons for this that the chief of our poets is
occasionally obscure. Meanwhile a discussion has
been going on in its own columns on the meaning
of the passage from the speech of Isabel in "Measure
for Measure." Act 2, Scene 4. Angelo has just said
44 We are all frail," and Isabel replies:

Else let my brother
If not a feodary, but only he,
Owe, and succeed thy weakness.
Mrs. Cowden Clarke and another correspondent,
who explain this not very intelligible passage,
point out that " else " is often used for
" unless it be so ;" " feedary " is a legal metaphor
founded on a distinction between possessing freehold
and holding under a feudal law in common with
others ; " owe" may be interpreted " own." The
passage may therefore be read thus ; "Unless we are
all frail let my brother die; he is weak with others,
possessing a common lot with them, succeeding
to an inheritance you yourself possess."
London, England, 1869-08-28

ARBITRATION.

The delicate position of an arbitrator in trade dis-
putes is admirably illustrated by a fact on which the
Beehive comments. Mr. Rupert Kettle has been
spoken very highly of, but he does not appear to
have been above suspicion. When at Manchester
he was severely watched. It was 'whispered
mysteriously that he dined with a party of masters,
and was observed in conversation with their secre-
tary. His decision was immediately said to have
been unduly influenced, and probably he would have
lost all confidence had he not denied both of the
statements against him. Thus, the insecurity of such
a position is shown. An arbitrator in such a
case is a judge only by the courtesy of those who
employ him; he has no power to enforce his deci-
sions.

DR. LIVINGSTONE.

The whereabouts of Br. Livingstone is still On.
subject of many theories. The one of Captain and
MrS: Burton, that he is detained a captive at Cazembe,
has been set down as " mere:surmise ; " but those who
support it arc writing very strongly in its favour.
The country around Cazembe, it is pointed out, is com-
-paratively unknown ; enough has been discovered to
make Livingstone's captivity a probability. The race
inhabiting it is fond of lying and thieving, and it has
long been thought dangerous to go amongst them.
Moreover, it is argued, the other countries are not
worth exploring ; this is. In the latter opinion
Sir Roderick Murchison, our chief geographer, does
not share.

THE FRANKFORT SWISS.

The North German Correspondent, speaking of the Swki
citizens of Frankfort, states that the Prussian Goveru-
ment could not view with apathy the introduction of a
scheme for evading the law. If the plan had been carried
out, in course of time the whole weight of military rec.
vice would have fallen on the poorest classes of the popu-
lation, and the wealthy would have become a privileged
caste in the State. The Tagespost, a Berlin paper, asks
what the Swiss have to do with the matter. They can make
no legal objections to the course which Prussia has
taken. The individuals who were expelled from Frank-
fort were acting maid fide. It is humiliating to the Swiss
that there should have been a traffic made in Helvetian
citizenship. The journal adds that if the exiles came to
Switzerland they must fulfil the obligations of the uni.
versal military conscription of that land.

Blaikie was, appointed to officiate as starter, Mr.
Thomas Hughes, M.P., had accepted the post of referee ;
the captain of the London Rowing Club, Mr. Gulston,
had been chosen by the Americans as their umpire, Mr.
Chitty having undertaken that duty for the Oxonians, and
failing him W. Ireland. It was evident to those who
visited the scene that no effort had been spared by Mr.
Lord on behalf of the Thames Conservancy to keep
the course clear, for which object that gentleman
and those associated with him had worked hard for seve-
ral hours the previous day. A body of police on board a
steamer patrolled the river, and they came down about 5
o'clock, and left again so as to insure the removal of every
r obstruction. The crews were afloat a few minutes after 5,
but it was 12 minutes 6 seconds past that hour before they
got away, the Oxford on the Surrey side and the Harvard
well towards the Middlesex bank. The excitement was
marked in the crowd as the men waited for the signal. The
eager line of faces was fixed on the boats, and the hum of
the multitude murmuring across the river suddenly rose
into the shout—" they are off!" That Harvard had many
backers was evident from the frequency of the red rosette,
but the scores of thousands who mounted the dark blue
made the other colour the exception. The Stars and
Stripes flew on many flagstaffs, and it was evident
that numerous eyes were gladdened to see Harvard rapidly
draw ahead of the English crew on the start, who had
lost the toss, and with it the best side. The pace was
tremendous, Harvard keeping it up at 45 strokes per
minute, which sent their boat to the front, making the
time to Hammersmith the fastest on record, while the
,etting rapidly rose on the American crew till the figures
were even. Instead of soon falling off, the pace increased
with Harvard, till on clearing Craven-point they were
half a length ahead. By the time the Dung Wharf was
passed, the Americans were ahead of the Oxonians, but in
attempting to draw in front of them their coxswain steered
widely, which told against his men. The Oxford
coxswain, more accustomed to the work, took a better
course, and began to lesson the distance. Still to the
Crab Tree they were a clear length ahead, making the time
in but 5 min. 15 seconds. On reaching the Soapworks the
Harvard boat was but little ahead, and the odds
itgaiA were MI the side of the Orford **ow, gore

THE HONOUR OF KNIGHTHOOD.

Rumours of the bestowal of knighthoods have
been floating about, as is usual in the recess, in con-
nection with the names of several public men. The
Telegraph, however, definitely announces two gen-
tlemen to whom it has been positively decided the
" golden spurs " shall be given. Dr. James Alderson,
President of the Royal College of Physicians, and for-
merly of Hull, is the first name mentioned. Mr.
Cooke, the great promoter of the Electric Tele-
graphs, is the other. Mr. Cooke was partner with
Professor Wheatstone and Mr. Ricardo in the first
Telegraph Company; he constructed and completed
the first wire along the Great Western
Railway from Paddington to Drayton ; and
has been connected with most enterprises of the
kind since. • Now that the telegraphs are looked
upon as indispensable necessities, at a time when
they are being extended generally throughout the
kingdom, and are considered of so much importance
that they have been taken under the care of the
Government, the bestowal of an honour upon him
who worked the system before its value was acknow-
ledged, and while its commercial success was doubted
is peculiarly meet and fitting.

SMALL FARMS.

The rapidly augmenting interest 'n the great land
question has called forth an interesing little letter
from " John Allen," of the Shrewsbury neighbour-
hood, protesting- against the system of doing away
with small holdings, and allowing only large farms.
Such a policy may save trouble to agents. But it
diminishes the opportunities for the thrifty and
industrious cottager to better himself ; it widens
the chasm between class and class ; and the
sum of human happiness is thereby diminished.
" John Allen" lives in an old-fashioned
Shropshire parish, where there are holdings of
three, five, twelve, twenty-five, fifty, and a hundred
acres. Many of the families have lived on the same
land for many generations. The cottagers and the
farmers are bound together by many mutual acts of
kindness. In seed time the farmer lends his teem
to his poorer neighbour. In harvest time the debt
of charity is gladly repaid with willing service. This
points to a method by which small holdings can he
made, not only productive of the greatest happiness
to the greatest number, but in an economical sense
equal to large farms. It is true that the great cul-
tivator can bring scientific appliances to bear which
are not at the command of any single small holding;
Alt the co-operative system may be, and indeed is,
Idopted. Good implements may be bought con-
jointly and passed from one poor cultivator to
mother. Thus may the superior individual energy
f the peasant proprietor and the capital of the
large farmer be combined.

LIFEBOAT SERVICES.—During the Storms

its Lifeboat Establishments, in addition to granting
1,3,79 a for rewards.
The Institution has now 207 Lifeboat Stations under
its management.

Esq., at the Institution, 14, John-street Adelphi, London.
