The British Parliament has reassambled in
good time to enable the Liberals to watch the
course of affairs, and call the Ministry to ac-
count should it commit any blunders. Already
the parliamentary skirmishers have con-
strained the Government to admit that it is
in negotiation with Russia, and that there is no
occasion for anxiety. The Opposition have also
made it evident that there is a strong sentiment
against the employment of East Indian
troops in European warfare without Parlia-
mentary sanction. The Radicals justly regard
the precedent az dangerous, and apprehend
that SepOys might be used to terrOrize Eng
llshmen, if the Crown is to be at liberty to
transfer troops of any class from one
part of the Empire to another. Hence
forth in every matter of this kind, the Gov
eminent will have TO undergo the scrutiny of
resolute Liberals, such as Bright, Faweett, and
Lawson, who will not be cOwed by numbers,
nor cajoled by popular sentiment.

The profanc and filthy people who seem to
compose, for the most part, the American
Labor Reform League, which has been holding
its convention in this city for the past two
days. are of no possible consequence, even in
the eyes of the police. Nor are their speeches
of any interest to the public except as show
ing how little these raving agitators are to be
feared. Ii is more than most of them
can do even to break into the newspapers,
and their widest flights of revolutionary
nonsense cannot earn so much as a glance from
the eye of Government. 1t may be that
dangers lurk in our great cities, of which we
do not yet know the full exsent, and that the
Commune is trying to get its mobs together
for actual service. But the American Labor
Reform League will never do any fighting.
One of its members believes that fifteen min
utes should be the extent of days labor,
and another that more than four hours toll is
slavery. People who are so sOrely afraid Of
hard work as these lazy ranterS will never get
up revolution.

LOCAL AFFAIRS.
OUR NEWsBOYs.

A Norristewn Herald correspondent
says: Talking about newsboys, reminds me
of new dodge, (new to me at least) which
I encountered at Wilmington Del. As
the train stopped there five or ten minutes,
The vsnders of late news would ask you to
buy a paper; and then they would beg for
any papers you might have on hand, and
these they would sell to be read by next
buyer. In this way tho Wilmington boys
would get the latest Baltimore papers once
read by the man who got it in the city.
This operation requires q good deal Of
"cheek," and am glad. for the credit Of
the craft, to believe that it is peculiar to
Wilmington alone. Hope it will disap-
pear very soon from that goodlycity. The
traveller is already subjected to quite
enough Of importantly, gum drops candies
fruits, picture books, &C., and when begs
xing for your late city paper ls added it ID
a nuisance to be aba,ed by the officials.
The regular newsboy is necessity, and I
often admire their business tact and pluck;
but the hummer a. described above, is q
disgrace to the profession.

A NEW RACE COURSE.

It Ia very probable that the race course
ct Hare's Corner will be improved by next
Spring-the necessary stands, ETC.. erected
for spectators, and races held there. 1t ID
thought such thing would be successful,
and as Mr.. Doble has the grounds rented.
tho holding Of races there is much urged
by the sporting men of Philadelphia and
elsewhere. The track, 1t Is said, would be
made mile, and would be better than the
ono in this city, a. the grounds 10 better
adopted for that purpose. If Mr.. Doble
should do this, the races would no doubt
be largely attended not only by our citizens
but by the country people all around.

Since the messengers Of the Western Union

named Bowen, who at once renewed the

went down to the office at Third and
Market streets, and from there wen, to
Bringhursts drug store. where his wounds
were dressed by DR.. Grimshaw. They had
been inflicted with small bladed knife
and the largest one was in the right arm

three-quarters of an inch deep and bleed
profusely. The other was in the leg near
the hip, and was not so deep. Neither Of
them are serious. Young Triegs resides at

spoken Of as quiet and orderly boy.
Bowen, on the other hand, is noted for

reputation for one of his age. He lives
with bis parents in the neigbborhood Of
