Bat the fact Of + successful prize.aghter be-
Ing made Member OF Pasiiamenft Is not
novelty that has been Witnessed for the first
lime In the United States. We have had
successive Parllamcnts In the person Of Mr.
John Gully. He was. after ono Of tho blood,
lest fights. oven in the records Of tho prize
ring, offered this champions belt, but he de-
cl,ucd It. He gradually roee from thu dc
grading position Of profsssed Pngillst to
member Of the Reform Club: He married
Roman Catholic indy, aud died respected IN
1873. II John MoFrisscy wishea. g be says,
to traDsmit more honored name To his de-
IFS and initiate tho conduct of John Gully.
Tho Mr. Arkwtight whose death I ulea-
Toned In previous letter, was the grandson
oflhc celebrated Sir Richard A1kwri-ht, the
famous barber, who. through bis invention
in cotton spinning machinery. r. realized ALI an In;
eso0 coo, he has left large landed aud other
property. The old mill q: Cromford, near
Matlock. with the Castle Of Willersby, which
Is attached thereto. he has bequeathcd

the ouly family who have been enriched by
the old Csomford Mil1, for the Struts, OF
Derby, who were associated with them In

Strut having been raised to the peeruge by
Earl Russell under the title OF Lord Belpef.
AL the preparations have been made, and
the programme published Of the great Re

no doubt, learn the result by telegraph.
A letter of Mr. Bnght's has been publish
ed, which has frightened many persons cyey
amongst the Liberal party. Here Is its sub
stance: "The Irish landowners feel the.
can rely on English force to sustain them
II Ireland were 1000 miles AWAY from us al
would be at once changed. Justice would b
done or the landlords would be exterminate,
by the vengeance Of the people" This

roads have the samc general direction, they
combine upon high rates to be cStorted from
The puhlic. But these canals will open COM
petition. They will enable the people OF
four-fifths Of the counties OF the State TO
reach market without using the railroads ;
II will give them choice OF routes. and the
railroads will have to modify their rntcs ID
order to compete with the canals.
The steamboat canal, as We have said III 3

pcalle OF Illinois in ffelghts rum larger
than the entire cost Of tlIc work. The ex~
peEditurc Of twelve millions for that pur-
pose will nod an immediate increased value
to the farming lands Of all parts Of tue State,
nearly ifuot equal to the cost OF the work; and
sewing rs perpetual restraint upon railroad
monopoly, they will prove a blessing and re-

and oppression.
We have not said word upon that other
md no less important point-the necessity
for additional mcaus OF transporting tie pro
ducc not only Of this State, but Of the West
which is to pass over or 60 around Illinois
