IRISH TRAMWAYS BILL.

Six weeks ago we called attention to the slow
progress this useful measure was making through
committee, where it has since been amended. We
do not know whether the delay is owing to the
Irish office or Board of Trade, but wherever the
fault lies it ought to be obviated. We are getting
near the end of the session, and it would show a
great neligence of Irish interests, if this bill, now
in the third Parliament, would meet the fate of the
innocents, when the Scotch Tramways Bill, only
introduced in April, passed through committee and
got the third reading.
At the Spring. Assizes many of the Grand Juries
reported strongly in its favour, and no doubt those
now meeting would do the same, if they thought the
Government required urging. Taking the Irish
press as the index of public opinion, no measure is
more popular or likely to do more good. We would
therefore press on the Right Hon. E. Cardwell and
the Irish Government the necessity of carrying it
through without any further delay.

A WORD FOR THE DOGS.--We must put an end
to the delay about opening the drinking-fountain in the vil-
lage, which was promised before the dog-days. The trough
below is more wanted for the dogs than even the cup and
basin above for working men and wayfarers. If the police-
man keeps an eye on that trough, to see that it is not
meddled with, and on any strange hungry dog that may
appear, we need have no more horrible alarms about mad
dogs, such as we had last year. There would be nearly an
end of that terror if there were water-troughs for dogs
wherever dogs abound,—Once a Week.

BOROUGH HOP.

There is rather more business doing in good and fine
hops, at slightly enhanced rates. Other kinds, however,
are inactive on former terms. The plantation accounts are

CALCUTTA, MAY 28.

Lord Canning arrived in this city at half-past one
a.m. on the 21st. His lordship looked well, far
better than when he left Calcutta, and far better
than might have been expected from the considera-
tion that he had just undergone a very long, a very
hot, and a very tedious journey. Lord Clyde came
in the following day, and at once took up his
quarters at Government House. The Reglish pub-
lic will so soon have an opportunity of judging how
his Excellency has worn that it is only necessary
for me to say that to Calcutta eyes he presented
nought the appearance of an invalid. But five days'
enjoyment of his present command remain to Lord
Clyde. He has already issued his farewell order to
the army, a copy of which I enclose, and will em-
bark in the steamer which will leave this place on
the morning of the 3d proximo. His lordship has
announced a farewell levee for the 31st inst. The
Governor-General held his on the evening of the
24th, in honour of the birthday of her Gracious

" at the other side"—came befo:e Mr. Justice Hayes
yesterday in chambers, in the form of an applica-
tion for a writ of habeas corpus. The facts are
these :

" Mr. Dowse moved for a writ of habeas corpus
to bring up the body of a boy named Wm. Diver,
who was alleged to be in illegal custody. The facts
upon which the application was grounded was stated
in the affidavit of Wm. Diver, the father of the
person who is alleged to be in custody. The affi-
davit stated that the boy Wm. Diver would be 14
years of age in October next ; that his mother was
dead, and that he had an only sister named Mary
Jane; that the father was a tradesman, and being
obliged to go about from place to place, kept his
two children at lodgings, and paid ls. Bd. a
week for William ; that William went into the
employment of a person named Wilson, resid-
ing near Ballyshannon, county Donegal ; that
Wilson was a Protestant, but had never attempted
to interfere with the religion of the boy, whose
father and mother were both Roman Catholics, in
whose religion William had been always reared ;
that William Diver left Mr. Wilson's service, and
went, without his father's consent, to the house of
a person named Jennings, and that his father heard
that Jennings was bringing him up as a Protestant,
and sending him to the Protestant church ; that the
father went to Jennings' house and demanded his
son, but Jennings said he would not give him up
until May-day; that the father went back on old
May-day (the 12th), and again demanded his son,
and that Jennings, his son, and his wife refused to
give the boy up, and put him into a room ; that the
father then went to the magistrates and got a sum-
mons to have the boy delivered up, but the magis-
trates said they had no jurisdiction, and refused to
entertain the summons ; that the Rev. Messrs.
Kincaide and Crookshanks, Protestant clergymen,
attended before the magistrates, and asked the
father not to interfere with the toy; that the father
persisted in demanding his son, but that the parties
refused to give him up, and that he was still in
Jennings' house. Counsel referred to Alicia Race's
case to show that until the boy was 14 years of
age the father was the guardian and entitled to his
custody. He also said there was no pretence that
the boy was kept in custody, on the ground that
his term of service had not expired.
" Mr. Justice Hayes gave a peremptory order for
a mandamus, to be returnable early next week,
before the first judge of the Queen's Bench, who
would be easily accessible."

IRISH T.RAMT P AYS BILL.

Six weeks ago we called attention to the slow
progress this useful measure was making through
committee, where it has since been amended. We
do not know whether the delay is owing to the
Irish office or Board of Trade, but wherever the
fault lies it ought to be obviated. We are getting
near the end of the session, and it would show a
great neligence of Irish interests, if this bill, now
in the third Parliament, would meet the fate of the
innocents, when the Scotch Tramways Bill, only
introduced in April, passed through committee and
got the third reading.
At the Spring Assizes many of the Grand Juries
reported strongly in its favour, and no doubt those
now meeting would do the same, if they thought the
GovernMent required urging. Taking the Irish
press as the index of public opinion, no measure is
more popular or likely to do more good. We would
therefore press on the Right Hon. E. Card‘vell and
the Irish Government the necessity of carrying it
through without any further delay.

A WORD FOR. THE DOGS.—We must put an end
to the delay about opening the drinking-fountain in the vil-
lage, which was promised before the dog-days. The trough
below is more wanted for the dogs than even the cup and
basin above for working men and wayfarers. If the police-
man keeps an eye on that trough, to see that it is not
meddled with, and on any strange hung►y dog that may
appear, we need have no more horrible alarms about mad
dogs, such as we had last year. There would be (early an
end of that terror if there were water-troughs for dogs
wherever dogs abound,—Oneo a Week.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—On the 25th of November last I addressed
a letter to you, pointing out what I supposed to be
the advantages possessed by Birkenhead as a situa-
tion for a naval arsenal and dockyard.
I find from the following extract from the report
of the Commissioners appointed to consider the
question of the defences of the United Kingdom,
that they agree generally with the views expressed
in the letter above alluded to, viz.:—
', As circumstances may occur which may render it ex-
pedient, in addition to this depot, to have also an arsenal on
the western seaboard, capable of furnishing a portion of the
supplies which are now manufactured exclusively at Wool-
wich, we have turned our attention to this point ; but as. it
has not been submitted to our consideration by any special
instructions, we have not investigated it with the attention
which we have directed to the other branch of the subject.
" We availed ourselves of the opportunity afforded by
our visit to Runcorn to examine a spot near Birkenhead,
the advantages of which as a site for an arsenal had been
represented to us; and we are of opinion that if it should be
determined to establish a second arsenal, it would be diffi-
cult to find any spot combining so many advantages as this.
" The advantages of having an arsenal on the western
coastrix addition to Woolwich, are too obvious to require
being insisted upon ; while, on the other hand, there is
every reason to believe, looking at the vast amount of skilled
labour available, and the manufacturing resources of the
naighbourlpod of Birkenhead, that it would equal Wool-
wich in cheapness of production."
During the past few months I have had letters
from and personal communication with naval and
military men of the highest standing, who also
concur in my views.
The Commissioners were not specially instructed
to report upon any particular site for an arsenal
on the western seaboard of this country ; but, had
they been so, it is possible they might, on more
mature consideration, have decided that the arsenal
at Birkenhead, properly fortified, would have been
sufficient for all purposes, without the great addi-
tional outlay required for a central depot.
The report of the Commissioners goes so fully
into the question of the advantages Birkenhead
possesses for the purpose, that I will not trespass
further on your space than to. express a hope that
before a final decision is come to the whole question
may be more maturely considered and reported on.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
JOHN LAIRD.

BLLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

RUFFIANLV ASSAULT ON THE POLICE.--Two rough
looking fellows, nanit d Allen and Johnson, and a female
named Wiz, were charged with assaulting police •constables
l'eacock, Milne, and Stuart in a very ruffianly manner.
Peacock said that about twelve on Saturday night he
saw a mob of about 150 persons assembled in Green-street,
Le cester-square, and on trying to remove Johnson he was
knocked down and kicked several times on the forehead and
in the mouth by Allen. The prisoners were violent. There
was a large mob, many of whom knocked him and his
brother constables who came to his assistance about, and
they were surrounded by thieves who frequent the square.
Wix said she was so drunk that she knew nothing about
it.

Confirmatory evidence being given by Milne, 96 C, and
Stewart, 84 E, a young man named Dowsett, of 160, Sey
mour-torrace, Euston-road, was also called and said the
attack on the officers was a very savage one.
Mr. Beadon said ho regretted exceedingly he could not
give hard labour. He should commit them for a month
each, and he wished he could treble it. They might con-
sider themselves very fortunate.

without complicating it by propositions the truth
of which few persons would be ready to concede,
and which if once admitted would inevitably lead
to a reaction, and very likely end in depriving the
Peers of the power to render a similar service in
future.

With the result as it stands we, at least, have no
reason to be displeased. Large as is the interest
which the Times has in the abolition of the Paper
Duty, we have always felt that the present was a
most inopportune moment for the change. We have
painted out again and again that the demands of
the Imperial Treasury were so urgent as to render
any wilful and deliberate sacrifice of revenue some-
thing little short of a crime against the public inte-
rest, and we have steadily maintained that in avert-
ing the great calamity likely to be brought upon
the nation by Mr. Gladstone's finance the House of
Lords was doing no more than its duty. We have
thus once more had the opportunity of proving to
Mr. Bright and Mr. Gladstone how little they know
of the real opinions and wishes of the country, in
whose name they perpetually presume to speak.
Mr. Bright, if he is capable of learning anything
from experience, must at last have learnt that it is
quite sufficient for him to come forward as the
advocate of any course of action in order to insure
its repudiation by the great mass of his fellow-
countrymen. Mr. Gladstone must have learnt that
he is not in a position to direct the storm of public
obloquy against the Government of which he is a
member, and may conclude his retrospect of the
transactions of the week with the not very cora-

fortable reflection that he and his policy have been
most emphatically censured by a large majority in
the House of Peers and by an union of both par-
ties in the House of Commons.—Times.
