Our special correspondence and mail reports
from Great Britain, detailing the political and
social condition existing in' the kingdom at the
latest news date, reveal situation made up of
the most extraordinary contrasts of light and
shade as regards the state of religion, morals
and material and political resources of the
ruling classes and people.
The extreme aristocrats, High Church old
ladies, with very many of the retired million
naire traders, who made fortunes by the tor
ture of little children in the mills of Manches-
ter previous to the passage of the Factory bill,
throw up their hands in pious horror because
Parliament attempts to reform the working of
sinecure Church in Ireland and hints at the
Inauguration, by legislative acts, Of system
of religious voluntaryism in England. This
class declares that the people will be rendered
utterly goddess unless everybody is forced to
pay the clergy; yet we find that under the
operation of their own peculiar system Of sane
LITIGATION the Lord Chamberlain to the Queen
acknowledges to pay great sum of money in
hand to a foreign lady, with an annuity of six
hundred pounds sterling during her life, for
the injury of acknowledging her during many
years as Lady Willoughby, his wife, and now
summarily discarding her. Yet Lord Will
loughby D'Eresby is the gentleman who regu-
lates, controls and directs all the amenities
and proprieties of the Queens Court and the
theatres prescribing what style of breeches q
United States Minister shall wear and forbid
ding or approving plays or public songs, just
at will.
Dublin Castle is by imperial fiction declared
royal palace and thousands of pounds ster-
ling are being expended in fating the Prince
of Wales in Ireland, yet we find by our special
letter from Cork that the railroads of the South
of Ireland are inadequate to convey the
masses of emigrants crowdng to Queenstown
for embarkation to the United States in order
to save themselves from poverty, perhaps star
walton, at home and not caring in their hurry
to get away if the Prince has the palace, so as
they escape the poorhouse and prison and
are thus enabled to earn fair days wages for
a fair days work in free land
Amidst the reports of the Teasing in the
palace in Dublin comes news early of Fenian
attempt to fire Buckingham Palace in England,
the Irish on either side of the channel contra
dieting themselves in the matter of loyalty in
truly Irish fashion.
The British capitalists are troubled 10 find
outlets for their unemployed cash, yet we find
there are million of paupers idling away
their wretched lives in workhouse Golgothas
standing hard by their own palatal mansions;
that the working classes in the mining and
manufacturing districts are uneducated in
alarming numbers and know nothing Of any
| Church; that the miserable habitations of the
laborers and artzans in the cities are crowded
TO such an extent that adults and children OF
both sexes and every degree of consanguinity
are huddled into sleeping dens in patches al
promiscuous and much more unwholcsome than
will be witnessed by Sir Charles Napier
among the natives of Abyssinia Every on,
is taxed TO the utmost directly OF
Indirectly: the entire real estate of the islands
is monopolized by few thousand families an,
the representatives of the combined talent o
these landlords have had to appeal to Learned

The descendants Of Abraham rejoice to fine
that amid about thirty-four varieties of th
Christian form of worship the Old Law am
the crown of royalty remain alone unchange'
and persistent, in system, effect and the mul
duplication and maintenance Of princes ant
prnccsses.
The conclusion is that Great Britain is jus
now ripe for another great peaceful stride |
