The Democratic 'National Convention, which
assembled here on S tturday las', have to-day an-
nounced their platform. It favours the taxation of
United States Bonds and the payment in currency
of the bonds of all public debts, except where pay-
ment in coin is expressly stipulated.
It declares that naturalised American citizens
abroad enjoy equal rights with native-born subjects
of the United States.

In the House of Commons the morning si tins
was devoted to the Public Schools Bill, and five
hours were taken up by the discussions of the com-
mittee. Mr. AYRTON engaged himself in another
criticism oa the inefficiency of our Public Schools,
in general, but he did not seem to meet with favour,
for a proposition he male was not supported, and a
clause he moved to provide for the admission of old
boys to the great public schools was rejected by a
majority of 56. Mr. LOWE withdrew his clause, to
the effect that the boys admitted at these schools
should be annually examined by one of the Privy
Council inspectors, and at first sight this seems ad-
visable, but it was objected that to do so would be
displeasing to the schools, and if not satisfactory the
Government could do nothing. In the evening sit-
ting some remarks were male on the Metropolitan
Foreign Cattle Market Bill. After it had been
said that the Government did not care for the bill
being passed, Mr. DISRAELI spoke very strongly,
and declared that he would prolong the session in
order to pass it. There was a good deal of truth
in the remarks of Culonel Noun, that the Opposi-
tion were in fault by their syste:n of talking out
the measure. The Premier has wisely ceded to
give an evening sitting to the discussion of the bill,
since the mornings already devoted to the purpose
have passed so unsatisfactory. Some other measures
were discussed, and Mr. LOWE said that there was not
sufficient room in the British Museum, and Mr.
SCLATER-BOOTII gave some explanations on the
postal arrangements, which were satisfactory. The
House of Commons was certainly more cool and
collected yesterday than the 44 other place" can be
said to have been, and but for the episode of the
Cattle Bill its proceedings would have been very
quiet. On the whole, the work of the session is
progressing favourably, and there is every prospect
of it speedily terminating after having transacted
all business that is absolutely necessary.

SERVIA.

BELGRADE, July 8.

The accounts of the misery caused by misrule in Spain
are alarming. Mendieity, always prevalent at Madrid,
and the police are continually
has greatly increased,
employed in arresting vagabonds or citizens driven from
home by hunger. The public resources are utterly
unequal to such an amount of pauperism. Orders have
been given to the provincial authorities to prevent any
one coining to Madrid to seek employment. Worl.c is
nowhere to be found, not even in the, seaports,
where the chances are always best. Commerce
is paralysed, and industry suspended ; the workshops
are closed, and bankruptcy is of every-day occur-
rence. Begging, then, is the sole alternative except.
brigandage,. which is resorted to
by great numbers.
These accounts are not astonishing when the history
of Spain for years past is taken into considera-
tion. Moderate journals are attempting to put an
end to their ruinous situation by bringing the Court and
the revolutionary party to terms. Large concessions on
each side are absolutely necessary to this end ; but recent
experience spews how small is the hope of settlement.

M. Arnould, the correspondent of the Paris paper
La Pat rie in this capital, being alleged to have for-
warded incorrect reports of the recent events in
Servia, was to have bean exposed to a demonstra-
tion of the popular displeasure. M. Arnould, how-
ever, having received timely warning, quitted Bel-
grade, and the demonstration took place in front of
the residence he had left.

We are not surprised that the motion brought
forward by Lord STR VTIIF.DEN, on Monday night,
in the House of Lords, should have produced a
long debate. The Confederation of the British
North American Provinces is a matter of such i►u-
portance that it would ill become the English Par-
liament to slight or set aside any communications
concerning it. It is only comparatively of late
years that the public has at all begun to appreciate
the extent and the value of the British
possessions on the American continent. The
wealth of the vast tracts of laud which are
nominally under British rule is as yet un-
developed, but tILT,, is good reason to believe
that the natural resources of the country, cereal,
mineral, animal, and maritime, arc i❑ the highest
degree important. Canadian timber, or "lumber"
as it is termed, is well known iu American markets,
and British Columbia has taught us that veritable
gold lies hidden in parts of the richly favoured soil.
There can be no doubt that many of the rich tracts
of land yet uncultivated iu various parts would
supply almost measureless wealth to the agriculturist
both in crops and pasture, and Hudson's Bay Com-
pany has proved that even the waste districts have
their natural wealth in furs. if we look in another
direction we find Nova Scotia and Newfoundland
possessing a fishing trade of great value, and their
hardy seafaring populations only require to be re-

DUBLIN, July 7.

The c.)rrespondent of the Telegraph gives some lively
details respecting the Skuptschma, or Servian Parliament,.
The assembly is about 500 strong, and consists of four-
fifths peasantry and handicraftsmen, and the other fifth
tradesmen and landowners. The writer doubts whether
many of the deputies can read or write : one-half the
number at least are profoundly ignorant on these points,
and take their politics from the more instructed section.
Not unfrequently one of the illiterate members has
risen to express hii opinions, and has been told
by one of his learned brethren to " sit down,
and leave such matters to people who under-
stand them." This is A truly admirable principle
of business, and might be advantageously applied in the
West, if we could but find the proper censor. The "House
of Commons " is a large wooden shed, with rough deal.
benches. The members are allowed about three shillings
per day lodging money, and are provided with food of the
roughest description. Prior to the day of meeting all the
members were obliged to encamp out in the park of Top.
chiderd. Their victuals were cooked twice a day for them,
and, as the writer quaintly remarks, it must have been a
curious sight to see the five hundred representatives of the
nation supping their strung broth out of the big camp
kettles, and eating their pork and black bread, squatted
on the ground in croups before their tents. " I will
venture "to say that forks were as rare amongst these
legislators as rosewater or napkins. A Servian
deputy cuts bis meat and picks his teeth with
his poniard, and wipes his greasy hands either
in his hair or on the seat of his trousers. He is generally
covered all ever with fleas and weapons--would that he
confined his use of the latter to ridding himself of the
former ! His dress is as unparliamentary as may be, and
lie has about as little notion of the whole business ho is
supposed to transact as be has of Greek particles or the
ditferenti.l calculus." Let us, however, remember that
great results hay arisen from elements as unpromising as
the Servian deputies.

Mr. Bright arrived to-day on a visit to Mr. Yea-
boiy, at Castle-Connel. He was received at Lime-
rick Station by Dean O'Brien and members of
the Corporation, and loudly cheered. Ile has ac-

The London Working Men's Association, otherwise
"Mr. Potter's Society," is agitating just now for an exten-
sion of the hours of palling. They complain that though
they have been given the right of voting, working men
will not Le able to exercise it without personal loss. The
hours at which the poll is at present required to be opened
are those during which a working man is hard at work,
If, then, he have to leave his work he would lose sevexal
hours, All this might be avoided by simply extending
the hours to eight o'clock in the evening, A clause in the
Bribery Bill would yet amend the evil. There is OM
serious objection to the proposal, A general election gene.

THE CHAN.N.EL FLEET.

- .
Near-Admiral Warden's report of the trials of tbe Miami
Fleet last year has been published in a Parliamentary paper.
He states that the cruise of the squadron under his orders
was on the whole a satisfactory ono. Ono of the trials
lasted from noon to four p.m., and when the recall
was made the following is stated to have been
the "extraordinary" result :—The Achilles beat the
Minotaur and the Lord Warden by 41 miles, the
Bellerophon and the Prince Consort by 41 miles, the Royal
Oak by 21 miles, and Warrior by 11 miles. The Lord Clyde
was not taken into account as she was thrown to leeward
by having to pass the Minotaur, and was placal at a con-
siderable disadvantage. The Pallas is stated to have been
nowhere. To put the result in another form: —The Achilles
gained to 'windward of the Minotaur 9,774 yards, of the
Warrior 7,147, the Royal Oak 1,449, the Lord Warden 765,
the niece Consort 634, and the Bellerophon 5C6. The
report goes on to say that it is very remarkable
to find a ship, in the short space at four hours,
beating a very similar ship as much as five miles dead to
windward, and beating somo of the latest constructed ships
.dmost to the same extent; and this, it is to be remembered,
by a ship, which, but one year ago, under a different system
of :nesting, had great difficulty in getting from one tack to
the other by tacking, and had actually, on one occasion, re-
fused to wear. Thu Rear-Admiral thinks it is impossible
to advance anything stronger in favour of giving the Mino-
taur three masts instead of five, whenever concurrent cir-
cumstances admit of the transformation being made.
On the 26th Nov. a full-speed trial, under steam, was made
from 8 a.m to 4 p.m. The patent log of tho Minotaur, the
sternmost ship but one, showed 90 miles, and the other, the
Helicon, which was the headmost ship, showed 104 miles.
The Achilles gained on the Lord Clyde 13 miles, the Belle-
rophon 101-, the Minotaur 10, the Pallas 81, the Prince Con-
sort 81, the Warrior GI, the Lord Warden 4/ ; but
she lost on the Helicon 11 miles. "Here, again," says the
writer, "we have the Achilles, ono of the first iron-clad ships
built after the Warrior and Black Prince, distancing in a run
of 100 miles, occupying eight hours, some of the latest con-
structed ships (and they containing generally the most recent
improvements which have taken place in condensers, &c.),
in a very remarkable manner, and even holding hor own within
a:couple of miles, with a very fast despatch vessel, in wea-
ther very favourable to the latter. It is to be borne in mind
also, that while the engines of the Achilles developo only
about s,7oohorse-power to drive 6,000 tons, those of the Bel-
lerophon, Lord Warden, and Lord Clyde, were constructed to
develope about 6,000 horse-power to drive 4,000 tons. It is
a result, I think, calculated to give rise to very serious 're-
flection."

The 29th November was devoted to target practice, which
was attended by three accidents: one, in the Achilles, by
the premature explosion of a cartridge in loading ono of the
guns, by which one of the gun's crew unfortunately lost his
arm; the second in the Lord Clyde, by the bursting of a shell
in ono of the 7-inch G4-ton guns, by which a piece of the
muzzle was blown off, without, however, any further acci-
dent to any ono ; and the third, in the Warrior, where an
eight inch gun of the main-dock battery, in firing the first
round, drew the pivotting bolt.
The report is accompanied by diagrams illustrating the
trials.
