WOMEN AND THEIR WORK.

No lady has been more energetic and more really
publicly useful than Miss Florence Nightingale.
Whatever she said on the subject of women's work
would be listened to with interest. But a letter to a
gentleman in New York, in reply to a request for her
autograph, photograph, and advice as to women's
work, is intrinsically valuable. With regard
to the photograph she says : " I do not wish
my name to remain, nor my likeness. That God
alone should be remembered, I wish." But she
gives good advice. She counsels all young ladies
who wish to follow a particular vocation to qualify
themselves for it, as a man would do. "If you are
called to man's work, do not exact a woman's
privileges—the privilege of inaccuracy, of weakness,
of muddleheads. . . . Look upon your work,
whether it be an accustomed or an unaccustomed
work, as upon a trust confided to you."

MIDDLE-CLASS SCHOOLS.

The " Corporation " schools of the City of
London have proved miserable failures. No design
could have been more benevolent than to provide for
the clothing and education of a certain number of
boys. But clothes made in an old-fashioned pattern,
from an obsolete cloth, with education as obsolete
as the cloth, have made the schools rather
laughed at than otherwise. Only the highest educa-
tion and the superior advantages connected with
Christ's Hospital could have survived the yellow
stockings and long gown which the boys in connec-
tion with it have to wear. 'Happily, there are those
who see this in the City ; and schools are being
established by the educational corporations, which,
being of recent origin, will not offend the non-
historic by pressing on tbtnknmnnol* 9f

LOSTWITIIIEL AND FOWEY.

The half yearly meeting of this company was
held at Fowey on Thursday ; Mr. B. T. Head
presided.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said that the contractors had made consi-
derable progress towards the completion of the line,
and had now little to do beyond making the junc-
tion with the Cornwall Railway ; for .the last two
months, however, the works had been suspended,
the contractors declining to proceed further
until they had received a certain money pay-
ment, which the directors were not in a position to
give. These delays were much to be regretted, for
there was, undoubtedly, an abundance of traffic
awaiting them. He strongly urged the desirability
of getting the whole of the preference shares taken
up, so that the line might be finished. The amount
expended to the 31st of December last was
£34,610.

The report was adopted, and the retiring direc-
tors and auditor were re-elected.

LISKEARD AND CARADON.

The annual meeting of this company was held at
Liskeard on Thursday ; Mr. E. Geach in the chair.
The report, which was adopted without discussion,
stated that the company was in a favourable con-
dition, and recommended a dividend of 5 per cent.
The engineer reported that the permanent way was
in good repair.

MEIROPOLITAN BOARD OP WORKS.

Yesterday afternoon a special meeting of the
Metropolitan Board of Works was held at the office
in Spring-gardens, Sir J. Thwaites in the chair.
The meeting was convened specially to consider the
following notice of motion :—" To receive report
from Works and General Purposes Committee on
the subject of Draught Bill, with reference to the
loans and funds for carrying on the works under
the existing Thames Embankment and Mansion-
house-street Acts, and also the works for the Thames
Embankment Approaches, the Chelsea Embank-
ment, and the Park-lane improvement, and to en-
able the Board to charge in aid the rates of the me-
tropolis and the general properties of the Board
under those Acts." Mr. Pollard, the chief clerk,
read the report, which was as follows :—" Metro-
politan Board of Works. Report of the Works and
General Purposes Committee. Spring-gardens,
Feb. 17,1868. Your committee have, in compliance
with the resolution of the Board of Friday last, re-
considered the subject of the Draught Bill with re-
works under the existing Thames Embankment and
Mansion-house-street Acts, and the works for the
Thames Embankment Approaches, the Chelsea Em-
bankment, and the Park-lane Improvement, and to
enable the Board to charge in aid of those works
the rates of the metropolis and the general proper-
ties of the Board under those Acts. It will be re-
membered that the bill was referred back to your
committee to consider further the question of the
amount which the Board should be authorised to
borrow, and to make such alterations in the measure
as should prevent any portion of the interest on such
amount becoming a charge on the metropolitan
ratepayers. These two questions have been very
fully discussed by your committee, and they now
beg to submit a copy of the bill altered to meet the
views of the Board with respect to the question of
interest, and they now beg to recommend the same
for approval, subject to any verbal alteration which
may be necessary in the amounts and the previsions
of the biII.—JOHN THWAITES, JOHN FREEMAN."
After a short discussion the report was adopted by
a majority of 23 to 3, the minority being Messrs.
Healey, Silas Taylor, and Roche. Mr. Freeman
then moved that the chairman should put himself
in communication with the Government with re-
spect to the matter, which was carried, after which
the Board adjourned.

however, small, and for these was inquiry, stiffer rates
being paid.

TEA.—Public sales of China tea have opened with a fair
competition.

ing the unconstitutionality of the laws they passed
than he had to issue an edict to the Supreme Court
charging its members with being derelict to their
Constitutional obligations. Yet the President con-
templated resisting these Acts by force. He was
glad the President bad abandoned this intention.
The moment the Executive sets up his will against
the supreme power, as vested in the Representatives
of the people, the Republic ceases, and a despotism
is erected. lie held that 176 members of Congress
of equal ability with the President were as compe-
tent as the Executive to decide whether these Acts
were Constitutional. Mr. Thornton called up the
Cotton Bill, when Mr. Anthony said the duty on
Surat cotton amounted, when it was made into 'the
cloth, to about 11 cents per yard. It was feared
that the crop of domestic cotton would be very
seriously diminished during this year, and the abo-
lition of the duty on imported cotton was of pri-
mary importance, and he was therefore opposed
to any action which would jeopardise the pro-
vision inserted by the Senate. The request of
the House for a new Committee of Conference
was then agreed to, and after debate on the joint
resolution respecting spirit meters, ending in the
passage of the bill and its return to the House for
concurrence in amendments, the Senate adjourned.
Jan. 29.—The House Bill, providing for the sale
of ironclads, was discussed, and passed, with the
amendment recommended by the Committee on
Naval Affairs, excepting the ironclads Dictator,
Kalamazoo, Monadnock, and Passaic classes. Mr.
Buckalew followed Mr. Pomeroy, of Kansas, in the
debate on the Supplemental Reconstruction Bill.
He had collected the votes inthe States represented
in Congress at the last elections, including Brown-
low's Province of Tennessee, which showed
2,134,554 Republicans and 2,019,169 Democrats,
giving a Republican majority of 115,385. Accord-
ing to this the majority of the Senate ought to be
28 votes, and the minority 26. But what were the
facts? The minority had 10 members, the majority
43. Thus a small number of extreme Radicals,
through the mighty influence of the caucus and a
vigorous use of the party lash, controlled the legis-
lation and shaped the destinies of the country. It is

the same in the louse of Representatives, where
the political majority has four members to one of
the Opposition. Why is it that 2,100,000 electors
have 43 votes in the Senate, and 2,000,000 electors
have butlo? It is on account of the great inequality
of population in some of the States. Ou Mr. Buck-
alew concluding an able argument in opposition to
the Bill, the Senate adjourned.

THE CHURCH GRIEVANCE.

In 1760 the Duke of Bedford gave his support to a
measure which would have been nearly equivalent to the,
Act of Toleration in Fngland. The Irish Privy Council
rejected it. Other liberal measures met a similar fate,
until O'Connell appeared in 1828, and the Roman Catholic
Relief Bill was as much his work "as the Repeal of the
Corn Laws was Mr. Cobden's, and the Reform Bill of
1867 was Mr. Bright's." The conflict upon the Appropri-
ation Clause is here discussed by the author, and his own
resolution with reference to Irish policy (April 15, 1839) is,
quoted. Lord Melbourne changed Sir Robert Peel's cry
oafnd" Pthriosteslterto a ascendancy
neycjimtnoge7n the
ee
spiritfo of
rlrelanl,e"
Irish Administration. As to the Irish Church, the
author wholly condemns it, and cites many quotations
from other writers to prove its unsuitability to the
state of things in which it is placed. The marvellous
change in the condition of Scotland in modern times " was
effected by the sacrifice of the Episcopal Church." The
Protestant Established Church in Ireland is the main
grievance of which the people have to complain. What,
then, are the remedies? First, Lord Russell renounces
his own plan of 1835. The Appropriation Clause would
be of no service now. The adoption of a purely voluntary
system in Ireland would prove, the author believes, a mis-
fortune to the country ; and he goes on to say—

" I therefore come to the. conclusion that the endow.
meet of the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland, the en•
dowment of the Presbyterian Church, and the reduction
of the Protestant Episcopal Church to one-eighth of the
present Church revenues of Ireland, would be just and
salutary."

Lord Russell does not believe that much is to be hoped
from the progress of the "Reformation "in Ireland. He
dwells upon the vicissitudes through which the Roman
Church has passed in safety, and declares that it ought to
be granted equal arms. The Roman Catholic bishops may
prefer their grievance to a grant from the Imperial Trea-
sury, but—

" Our only resource is to maintain the supremacy 0
Parliament as the great lay tribunal. `L'Etat est Laic,' as
M. Guizot once said of France. The Queen's title must
be upheld, her courts of justice must not be subject to
appeal to Scotch Presbyteries, or Pan-Anglican Synods,
or Roman tribunals."

Lord Russell does not find fault with the present system
of education in Ireland. The Queen, in a passage in her
journal, commends it, as she saw it practised in Dublin,
and wishes a similar system were adopted everywhere ;
and Lord Russell says, " I have cn'y to add to this senti-
ment a fervent Amen."

Mr. SAWARD made an elaborate statement, ad-
verting to the origin and history of the Atlantic
Telegraph Company, and also of the Anglo-Ameri-
can Company, and then describing the efforts made
in vain to effect an amalgamation of the two com-
panies. In answer to inquiries, Mr. Saward stated
the average
dailygress earnings of the cables since
the of the current year, in July, had
commencement
been £l,OlB, against the average daily earnings of
£915 during the previous year. Under the higher
tariff in November the number of messages was
2,332, and under the lower tariff in December the
number of messages was 3,901, and in January
4,749. The gross revenue since July was £205,303,
and, deducting 40 per cent., the meeting would
arrive at an apiroximate revenue to be divided
between the two companies.

THE FIRE AT ANTWERP.—The fire which broke
out on Saturday at Antwerp was extinguished during
evening ; two vessels, containing 208 barrels of petrom,
were consumed by the flames. The amount of the pro-
perty destroyed is estimated at 150,000 francs. The
whole of the loss is said to be insured, partly in Belgium
and partly in Dutch insurance companies.

SUICIDE OF LORD DERBY'S VALET.—On Thurs-
day last a distressing suicide was committed at Knowsley.
We understand that for some time past the second valet of
Lord Derby has been engaged to one of the female domes-
tics at the hall, and that a marriage between them had been
arranged, and was shortly to have taken place. Within the
last few weeks, however, the deooased became impressed
with the delusion that he had been supplanted by another
in her affections, and this circumstance preyed much upon
his mind. On Thursday afternoon he was found dead in
his rocm, having apparently committed self-destruction
by cutting his throat. An inquest was held on the body
at Knowsley, on Friday, when an open verdict was
i;
re-
turned. The deceased,
was much respected—Liverpool
