Lord Clarend0n's Return From Paris-Out.
limo Of q Land Bill for Irelund-A Peace
Report. 1oxnox sort % 1870
Lord Clarendon has returned from Paris. He
delivered an address before the Hartlordshire Agr-
cultural Society tonight, IN the Of which he
acknowledged that the subject of the tenure of
land In Ireland was momentous and vital one, but
1t should not be considered as party question.
The evils connected with the land system must be
abated. The solution was difficult but not impossi-
bic. The government would not adopt any
Wild or subversve scheme. Tile promoters
Of such plan were enemies of an
equitable settlement and no friends to the Irish
people. He asked If there was language strong
enough to condemn landholtcr who evlcted q
tenant and reaped the whole benefit OF the tenants
labor and expenditure. This course was too often
followed and the evil must be abated. He believed
the rights OF property should be scrupuousy upheld
and Its duties rigidy enforced by law The govern
ment, he said, intended to introduce a measure
which would command the respect support and
praise OF every honest man.
Lord Clarendon, in conclusion, alluded TO the
present condition of Europe and expressed the con.
victi0n that at no time within the past three
years has there been farer prospect of continued
peace than at present.

The coincidence of the Emperors sickness and the
reconstruction OF the government Is a serious
fortune. The energies Of the Emperor cannot be
we'll spared at such Q crisis. The reforms come
unfortunately while the Emperor is incapacltated
and at time when he Is most required. The specu-
latons Of the people on the uncertainties ana oppor
tunties Of the future encouraged augment
the public disqu,etude. II the crisis had occurred
ten years the Emperor could have brought to the
work the energies he carried into The Italian cam
paign. II the experiment had then succeeded France
would now possess generation OF statesmen with
some parliamentary experience The only question
Is, Was the prospect OF success clear then as TO
justify precipitatng instead OF postponng the trial
The present peril serious in any case, is aggravated
some kind has been the prospect OF The government
for the past two generations.

THE SONG OF. THE PRINTER.

|
Pick and click,
Goes the type in the stick,
AS the printer stands at his case
His eyes glance quick, and his fingers pick
The type at rapid pace;
And one by one as the letters go,
Words are piled up steady and SLOW
Steady and slow
But still they grow,
And words of fire they soon will glow;
Wonderful words, that without sound
Traverse the earth to IT'S utmost pouudj
Words that shall make
The tyrant quake,
md the fetters of the Oppressed shall break
Words that can crumble an army's might,
Or treble its strength in righteous fight,
Yet the type they look but leaden and dumb,
AS he puts them in place with finger and
thumb;
But the printer smiles,
And his work beguiles
By chanting a song as the letters he piles,
With pick and click,
Like the worlds chronometer, tick tick
o, where is the man with such simple tools
Can govern the world as /?
With printing press, an iron stick,
And little eaden die,
With paper of white, and ink of black,
| support the Right, and the wrong attack.
Say, where is he, or who may he be,
That can rival the printers power?
To no monarchs that live the wall doth he
giye,-
Their sway lasts only an hour;
While the printer still grows and God only
knows
When his might shall cease to tower

NEW YORK, March 23.-A Santiago, Cuba,
letter of the 9Th inst, states that the situa-
ton there has decidedly improved, and sugar
grinding has become general. Large quanti-
ties of Coffee continue to arrive daily, and I
am informed by intelligent people that the
damage done by the insurgents in this district,
though large, has been greatly exaggerated.
1t consists principally in the carrying off Of
negroes, and as the best from each estate have
ly felt. Planters are very firm since the rise
Of sugar in London and New York, and if
they can realize this crop at the present prices
they ask it, will go far to cover their losses
Some twenty-five estates are already grinding,
and from want of tonnage stock begins to
accumulate in town. Deliveries are slow.
Planters ask 81 for good refining. There is a
fair stock of coffees, but no transactions.
American provisions are very scarce, espec-
money transactions must be limited Hams,
beef, &C., without demand.
