TnE LONDON TIMEs.-The N. Y. Courier recently
gave history of the of the remarkable change
which took place years ago in the political char
acter of this celebrated English newspaper. 1t was
drawn out in the of controversy between the
"AlbiOn," the English newspaper published in New
York, and the Courier. The article, which had elici-
ted the AlbiOn's comments, had imputed 10 the Lon
don Times the character of story paper" This
the Albion editor denies warmly; and now the Cour-
Ter rejons this point; and a curious matter of
history, we give the statement. Abiding to the in-
strumentaty of the Times in procuring Roman Cath
Ollie Emancipation, and to the fact that, after that
event. it was for long time Radical, the Courier
thus proceeds:
ain a single twenty-four hours, it charged IFS whole
coHrse and came out ultra Tory paper or if the Al
bion likes the phrase beer-Utra cOHseruase-whIch it
claims be. Does the Albion know the history of
that change? If not, the following facts related by
of It's then Editors, since Dead will not be uDnlesl-
ing"
sOf course the Albion knows that il alleged that
Mr. Walter bought up by the Government. and that
he received some two hundred thousand pounds sterling
for changing the course of his paper This denied by
some; while Others say that if he did, BRIBERY
but only fair remuneraon for the risk he incurred"
'But be this II may the then editors Messrs Barnes
* Baconlhe abes connected with that press, and
both since dead-togelher with all Parliamentary
pOrlers invited on certain day to breakfast with
Mr.. Walter, the proprietor. The breakfast over, Mr..
Walter addressed all present and stated that il feared
that, f the Times persisted in ITS then radical course
revolution in England would be ineuitable and there FORE
he had determined and promised that from that time Tor
ward the course of the paper should be changed and he
had called together its conductors, his de-
termination, and ask their cooperation All taken
by SURPRISE and ALL with the solitary exception Of Fran
els Bacon gave notice OF their determination to yithdraw
and did withdraw from the paper but very returned
it! The sale of the Times the day of that break
FAST exceeded eeCen thousand but within week sales
fell off to a fraction over four thousand We all know
the result The Conservatives of the whole nation
to its SUPPORT; and consequently it became what il
is the leading paper of The world, and the proa-
BILE. True, it does call itself Tory paper but the
Albion know that is the great Conservative Press
of England, and sustained by The Tory interest"
The Times should now return the ''Courier's''
compliment. and give the equally wonderful history
of he moving cause of an equally sudden change in
the latter, from a democratic to a wing paper, and
from strong oppoSer of the u s. Bank TO its most
strenuous advocate. Our readers will recoect that
the alleged sum paid by the bank was So, 900

ANOTHER LORD ON SLOW PAYMENT.-Lord George
Bentick has addressed letter to the Spanish bond
holders in London, stating that if Viscount Palmer
ston fails procrastinates in demanding redress for
the British holders of Spanish bonds he will again
bring the matter before the House of Commons. His
lordship is in favor of summary process, and would
dstrain upon Cuba or Porto Rico or, in other words
annex them to the British possessions. He says
"Will the people of England be content any longer
to look quietly upon Cuba and Porto Rico, producing
in value upward of ten millions sterling of produce
annually on the side, and the unpaid debt of
the ory-six millions due by Spain British Subjects

The Judges of the County Court last spring ap-

TO discharge very annoying duty subjecting him
the fine prescribed by statute for failure TO dis
charge the public business imposed On him. Instead
of neglecting the business however, he en,eted upon
1t with great vigor, and called on the Judges and 9th
ers to turn out and work the road, as required by
law As the road was very rough, he kept them
working it for months: They begged to be let
off, but he refused to discharge them. Then they pc
toned him TO resign, but he declared 1t TO be too
difficult get into office Dow for him voluntarily to
abandon authority when conferred upon him besides
lie would be liable 10 fine if he failed TO have the
road put in good condition. They promised to pay
the fine if he would back out; but he preferred to be
above any such favor, by doing his duty fully and le-
gally. They were thus headed at their own game as
their short crops have since proved.
