Trouble Brewing In England.

Agrarian troubles arc increasing in Ire
land, and Mr. GLADSTONE will soon discover
thai by stirring up the land question he has
perhaps been opening the Hoodgatcs of revo-
luton. The working classes will not always
consent that the national territory should vest
In few hands. All the recent political re-
forms in Great Britain must be regarded as
prelude to vast social reform, the com
rnencoment Of which will depend only upon
the circumstances Of the period and the tenn
per Of the people. If the present Admins
tration had not made the Irish question the
pivot Of its existence, the proverbial slug
gishness of the English mind would prob
ably have STAYED off public agitation ON so-
cial questions for another generation; but the
prominence given to the grievances of the
Irish peasantry tends to arouse the English
masses from their apathy, and opens fair
field of acton to the conscientious reformer
as well as to the demagoguc. When saga
cious and liberal statesmen like Lord GREy
are in favor of coercive measures in Ireland,
and of crushing in it's bud an agitation which
threatens the supremacy of the British
oligarchy, Mr.. GIApsToSE's mettle is Iut to
n severe test, and the appeal for forbearsnce
which he addressed TO the Tory leader, DIS
RAELr, betrays n consciousness Of weakness
which bodies no good TO the stability Of lis
Administration.
Most of the evils Of which the Irish peas
sntry complain are common to their English
and Scotch fellow subjects. Parliament re-
presents the landed gentry only and not the
peasantry, and even the so-callcd Radical
members have not yet gathered courage to
grapple with these questions in a pract.c1
spirit. But the time is evidently approach.
ing for bold statesmen to solve the problem
of social questions, and when that moment
arrives Mr.. GLADSTONE may find it convc-
nient to return 10 his classical studies, aud
Mr. DIsBAEII will be nowhere.

The present King of Bavaria is threatened
with deposition because be prefers music TO pol
tics; just as Gen. GRANT is sure to be deposed
in 1872, because he prefers to be managed by
heavy friend of Spain Like HAMILTON FISH, rather
than TO enforce tho Monroe doctrine like an
American President. The grandfather Of the
King of Bavaria also lost his throne because he
priced dancing more than governing.
The LOLA MONTH"; of the present sovereign,
however has not the advantage of being a wo-
mani but WAGNER is full Of romance neverthe-
less, and LouIs II. deserves credit for his enthu-
sinstc devotion to the great composer.
Beer is generally believed to initiate in Ba.
varia against chiyalry and the King seems to be
the only person who stands proof against beer.
This is enough to account for his unpopularity.
Should his deposition be officially confirmed, il
will no doubt be ascribed to BlsSARCKs intriguing;
and from the fact that the French Government
has already protested against the Prussian de-
signs ii is evident that there is at this time some
thing brewing in Munich besides beer.

In enumerating the various classes of
indictment affected by the recent decision ot the
supreme Court, that greeubacks are not LEGAL
tender for obligations incurred before February
%, 1862 We omitted 60 mention the item Of rents
upon long leases Of real estate. The amount Of
these rents ii is impossible to estimate precisely,
but il must he very large. There are acres upon
acres Of lots in this city alone leased for terms Of
iweniy-ouc years, by the Sailors Snug nlrbor,
the AsToUs tho SruryEsASrs, the SPISGLERs, and
other wealthy families upon ell " Which, &C.
cordng to the decision, the rents must be paid
in gold The impression is, however. very gene
raj that the demand for gold will be
generally resisted by debtors, in the hope that,
before it can be cLtorccd III law, either We shall
ha'e resumed specie payments, or a new Supreme
Court will take opposite ground to that taken by
the present Court. We understand that the
Directors of the New York Central and Hudson
Biyer Railroad Company have resolved not 10
pay anything but grccnbacks for the bonds of the
old Hudson River Railroad Company maturing
this month, and their example will probably BE-
followed By other great corporations. On the other
band, II is said that the Hon. JAMES J. Roosg-
WELT, former Judge Of the Supreme Court Of
this state, aud a gentleman Of great wealth as
well a. of distinguished legal ability, is the pro-
prietor Of large amount Of railroad bonds, and
individual bonds aud mortgages made before
the date Of the Legal Tender act, which he is de-
termined to collect in gold. Judge ROOSEVELT
attempted soon after the passage of the act to
establish In the State Courts the same doctrine
as that just enumerated by tho United States
supreme Court, but without SUCCESS tho Court Of
Appeals having upheld the constitutioDahty Of
the act aud its application to preexisung debts.
His writ Of error to the Supreme Court at Wash
ington was dismissed for the reason that the con-
sttuuonalty Of the act had been affirmed. and
therefore no appeal lay In the case just decided,
the Court Of Appeals Of Kentucky denied tho con.
-ttuiionality of the act and the appeal from that
Judgment was therefore entertained.

In addition to the considerations adduce

In addition to the considerations adduced
by DR.. BERrRAsD, which We mentioned recently,
going 10 show that the head Of decapita,ed per-
son retains life for soveralh hours aer it is severed
from the body, some curious corroboratiye facts
have been gathered from the experiences of
French e1ecutiOners. In one case the teeth Of
woman, whose head had been thrown into bas-
ket after IT was cut of, were found firmly fastened
into the willow of the basket. Another head.
thrown upon the ground, seized hold Of the grass
with such force as to bring up the sod with il
when it was lifted. Another was found to have
rolled itself over and over and over in the saw
dust Of the scanold. In another case, where the
head had been placed in the same basket with the
body, to be carried to the cemetery, it was found
to have bitten the thigh Of the body till the blood
came. 1t is possible that tho discussion of the
subject may lead TO the substitution in France Of
hanging for guillotining.
