A B;r Ferry project.

The voyage across the English chan
mel is the sorest experience of European
travellers. il is but a few miles wide, yet
il is one Of the most troublesome little
seas in the world. The horrors Of the
massage are intensified by the small size
az the steamers built 10 accommodate
themselves TO the French and English
barbors. Bridges and tunnels have been
proposed. They are feasible, but the
cost is enormous. As an alternative, a
scheme practical and comparatively in

Mr.. Mccarthy closes an analysis of
the character Of the Prince of Wales
with the following observations:
So long as the Prince of Wales keeps
out of politics, he may hold his place
well enough; the England of to-day
could far better endure even George
the Fourth than George the Third. l
have little doubt that the Prince of
Wales, when he comes to be King, will
be discreet in this matter at least. He
has never, indeed, shown any particular
interest in political affairs, so far as |
have heard He seems to care little or
nothing about the contests of parties.
Some three or four years ago, at the time
of the celebrated Adullamite secession
from the Liberal party, there was some
grumbling among the radicals because il
was reported that the Prince of Wales
had expressed wish to make the ac-
quaintance of Robert Lowe, the brilliant,
eccentric chief Of the secession, and had
Lowe brought to him; and it was urged
that this was done by the Prince to mark
his approval Of the Adullamites and his
dislike of radicalism. But just about
the very same time the Prince took some
trouble to make the acquaintance of
John Bright, and paid what might have
been considered very fattering atten-
tons to the great popular tribune. The
Prince has more than once visited the
Pope, and he has, likewise more than
once visited Garibaldi. Indeed he
seems to have harmless liking for
knowing personally all people who are
talked about; and / fancy he hunted up
the Pope, and Garibaldi. and John
Bright, and Robert Lowe, inst as he
sends for Mr., Toole, the comic actor, or
Blondin, or Chang, the giant, Nothing
can be safer and better for the Prince in
the future than to keep to this whole
some indifference to politics. In Eng
land who could stand any length of the
reign of Long Log, | shall not venture
to conjecture what might happen if the
Prince of Wales were to develop a per-
verse inclination to NEEDLE and mud
die in politics, because l think such a
thing highly improbable. My impress
sion is, on the whole, that things will go
on under the reign of the next sovereign
in England very much as they have been
going on under the present; that the
Prince of Wales will be induced to pay a
little more attention to decorum and
public propriety than he has hitherto
done; and that the people of England
will laugh at him and cheer for him, talk
scandal about him and sing God save
him, and finally endure him, somewhat
on the same principle as that which in
duces the New York public to endure
overcrowded street cars and and miser-
able postal arrangements--jus because
it is less trouble TO each individual to
put up with his share of defective insti-
tuition, than TO go out of his way for the
purpose of endeavoring to organize any
combination to get rid of it.

1t is emphatically the robbery of the
many for the advantage of the few If
the few must be thus supported and en-
riched by the many, it were better,
cheaper and more honest TO compromise
with them at once and pay them in
annual bounties out of the Treasury,
and thus save vast millions to the people,
The people could then. estimate the
amount Il cost them annually to pro-
tect these lords of monopoly. Under
our tariff machinery, with its compli-
Gated jugglery, this cannot be done. In
this country it is American munufac-
lures that clamor for tribute. In the
mighty struggle which freed England
from tariff plumber it was in great part
the lordly proprietors Of the soil who
clamored for protection in the interests
of agriculture, piteously lamenting that
in their small country they could not
grow wheat in competition with the vast
countries of the continent and of
America.
But the other industrial pursuits or
ganized the " anti-corn law league and
demanded cheap bread. The league was
victorious, the law was repealed, compe-
tition made bread cheap, and the pros
perity and progress of agriculture were
greatly increased. A few years ago the
cunning emissaries of protection, de-
string additional tribute and needing aid
and votes to secure it, seduced the West
ern wool-growers of our country into an
alliance to obtain it. An unparalleled
rate of duties was imposed on imported
woods to protect the domestic growers
against competition from abroad. What
is the fruit The production in the
country has fallen off within the past two
years about rs per cent, the wool re-
turns to the grower much lower price
than before, the exports of the manufac-
lures of wool declined last year 60 per
cent, while the. imports largely in
creased Nobody was benefited in this
country except few monopolists. The
farmers and wool-growers have been
greatly injured.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.
The friends of Senator Morton are urg-
ing the President to continue Motley as
Minister to England until the expiration
OF the present term of the Indiana Legis-
lature, when it is suggested Senator
Morton may be again appointed. The
Indiana Legislature meets biennIslly and
could not elect Senator in Morton's
stead, and the Governor of that State
would have the appointment for Morton's
unexpired term, thus securing to the Re-
publicans a Senator for the next two
years.
