history does not stand STILL A lew events Whicn
have occurred since last wrote to you, as fol-
lows:
The army estimates have been submitted to the
House OF Commons, and majority have decided
that increase shall take place in the expenditure
both to support the military and naval powers
Twenty-Five years of deep peace have not taken the
trans endantasm out of the love OF arms. In this
dictum Of the Commons augmenting the expenditure
of the country, few Of the Tory journals are ndg
nant and cry out for augmentation IN other state
functionaries Thus il is sad-"We add and increase
cur army We augment our judiciayo powers. we
award to each these departments additional means
but what do do for the established church !-po-
puation ncreases-but we add nothing to herpower.
poor soul her income is only scS 200 600 per annum
One of the members ofthe present government has
motion before the House fer the suppression OF
mendicity in Ireland it would be icult to say
what process of philosophy will be adopted to main
tain the proposition as ninetenths Of the people in
that country degraded and demoraliZed, that
mendicity is their chief occupation.
The Bank of Englanl has at length discovered,
that the surest way to protect itself against forgery
is t. have its notes engraved by artists of the first
abilities, and it has determined to alter the style
of its notes The plate now in use is the one adopt
ed when the bank founded.
The Radicals have been at their old tricks in the
metropolis, beating the Tories by small diplomacy.
London placarded with bills announcing meet
ing" Church Extension"-not to aid but to oppose
it. large multitude was collected-but for very
different purpose than they expected.
Some specimens of the post stamps are already be-
fore the public, and will shortly be applied when
in use, the receipts of the post office will be much
economical Il, The stamps to be adopted are ad
hesive.-2, Cut into the papers,, simple en-
craving. All are very beautiful. 1t is looked
agent for the diffusion of taste. Certainly il will
outstrip the wafer, which one sometimes gets pune
tured with numerous applications of pin in the abb
sence Of seal. The new plan of postage works
quite successfully its best friends could WISH
very odd looking association has been formed in
Paris for the avowed purpose of facilitating the cir
cuation Of American securities in Europe. Several
captivating plans announced to induce people to
invest their money In state and other stocks, whch
Hottinguer 4 Co, and other euses there, hold OF
rather than they desire 1t is very certain the
Partisan bankers don't understand their inter
ests What better or safer Investment could they
desire for their capital than American stocks. And
yet they adopt some all chlcanery to rid them
selves of their advantage ground
The question at issue with the celestials of China
stands Just where it did on the last adviccs. The
Tories have been furnished, by the policy of the
present government, with the means of plugging up
for sale few of their aatiquated principles. The
Duke Of Wellington is again transccndantalised
because, forsooth, he adopted recognised, and add
vised acertan policy in 1873 which completely ac-
corded with that pursued in the present Instance
and yet in the precpate zeal of party tactics, he is
made out 20 recognise submission, humiliation, and
concession with the Chinese. The depth of degra.
daton of the English press transcends belief il has
but purpose to serve-that is faction-its coun-
try not dreamt of. II has enlisted in its purposes
brilliant talents and great requirements tainted with
dishonesty, peridy, and deprayity.
The Royal Duke Of Sussex, fourth in succession TO
the throne of England bit of a philosopher, and,
for limb OF Royalty, endowed with fair abilities to
boots Just now in an awkward fix. He is living
instance of one Of the absurd and revolving circum-
stances flowing from monarchical institutions. In
law, rcJ al blood only have affinity for royal
blood-hesce, in European courts, system of in
tcrmarrage has been carried where eonsanguinit
forbids and Psychologists tell us, what large
pcriencc has confirmed, that family alliances are
productive of weak inteects. Here the laws of
man contra vene the laws Of God. The Duke of Sus-
SCI could ANYTHING attractive the royal
blood of Europe to win his affections, but in an
accomplished lady OF England Lady Cecilia Under
requirements TO make him an excellent wife. The
Duke, in evil hour persuades her lady ship to CO.
habit with him and, for some years, they live thus
together until private marriage is solemnised.
This open concubnage did not scare the Duke, or
his Royal mistress, from society, but the same
ception awaits them in the highest circles.
II is now considered convenient To obtain order
in council proc claim and authorize the marriage OF
the Royal Dske, after he is satated with prostitu
ton and apply TO Parliament for grant of f6 900
per annum, in addition TO the Ell 900 already re-
ceived by him, TO maintain the princely monster
The reference of the press to this affair sweet
ly conciatory when appealing to the solemn truths
Of Ethics, namely II is quite time this marriage
should be solemnized, to wipe away the immortality
from the splcndour Of a royal coronet."
IL the peaceful relations between England and
China should be disturbed, il is likely to have Sc
