ENGLAND AND SILVER.

Some four months ago, in commenting
OIL I.nglaud's business condition, We took
occasion to express our conviction that
the very serious and even alarming tie
preston in her financial and industrial
affairs was traceabIe TO her demonetiza-
ton Of silver. And our more recent tele-
graphic adyices from London go TO show
that the British Government is beginning
TO take n similar view Of that matter.
We are informed that a movement has
been instituted in their Parliament to
organize special Committee to investl-
gale the causes Of this unfortunate con-
dition of trade and monetary affair, Of
Of the Kingdom; and that this proposed
Committee, at the special instance Of the
British Premier, Lord Beaconstitld, will
be directed 10 inquire particularly as to
the effect Of the demonetization of silver
in causing this disastrous state of
things. We do not believe that such u
Committee could address itself TO any
more important question than this.
That England's domestic affairs have
fallen into disastrous condition. is
beyond denial. On the authority of their
own statements, general and official, il is
manifest that her labor system, her man-
ufacturing system, and her financial
system, have been convulsed, and in
danger of general collapse. Her labor
ing people have been thrown from
employment, and have had to meet dis
tress and desttution to an extent never
before encountered. Her banks and
princely merchants have hcen failing for
incredible amounts. Thousands Of her
people but recently in affluence, are to-
day bankrupts and beggared. Tens Of
thousands have been seen congregated
together seeking food and threatening
violence. In fact, England has never
before had to face domestic crisis sc
formidable as the one now before her.
There must be some deep-seated, under,
working cause for all this, as yet unre
vealed, or at least unacknowledged
These economic disasters can not be at.

MADAME PATTERSON. .BONAPARTE.
Some characteristics of this He.
markable Lady.

The death yesterday at her residence in
Baltimore of the aged Madame Patterson
Bonaparte has already been given to our
readers through our telegraphic columns
With her demise has closed the eventful
career Of one of the most remarkable
women Of this country. She has fingered
on to the age of ninetyfour, and it was up
ward of seventy-fvs years ago when oo-
Cured tho event, initiatory to her subse-
quent notoriety, that startled the political
and social world of two continents.
The daughter and heiress OF n millionaire
merchant Of Baltimore, beautiful, gifted
and accomplished, size was at the age of
eighteen the reignins belle of the society in
which she moved. But this was not suf-
ticient for one of her naughty, ambitious
and willful temper. 1t was said of her con-
tcmporaries that from her earliest girlhood
she affected to despise the plain republican
manners and customs by which she was
surrounded. She had already taught her
self to look beyond to the elevated trans
atlantic sphere, where alone her aspirations
for rank and title could be realized. When
the opportunity presented itself by the
arrival in her native city of Jerome Bona
parte she made the best use OF it. Meeting
this foppisf, empty headed young French
man, she fascinated, captivated and mar
ried him, and the result was at last q woe
| full and lasting disappointment. Her
father, greatly TO his credit, offered the
sternest opposition to this misalli-
ance. In his estimation there was 10 honor
conferred upon his family by the union
of his daughter with the youngest brother
of plebeian First Consul Of France. Her
perverse and supercilious manners were
often a source of annoyance to him and the
subject of his sharpest reproof He was
not himself ashamed 10 own that he had
hegun life as blacksmith. In his will he
ordered his old shop in which he had toiled
for years to be preserved intact during tho
lifetime of his daughter, to remind her that
she was after all but the child OF one who
was once all humble mechanic.
The wealth she is represented rs spend
ing SO freely in Europe was not inherited
| from her father, as many suppose. He gave
handsome allowance while he lived, but
bequeathed her only small annuity at his
death. With the price received for her jew
els and other personal articles, she entered
into speculative ventures by which she by
| her individual efforts earned the great rich
cs of which the died possessed. In one
thing, however, on which she had set her
mind. she was not successiul-the resolve
made wears ago to live to celebrate her GEN.
tcnnial birthday. Nothing but good of
the dead" says the old proyerb. However
unl0vely her character may have seemed,
it was not without its enobling traits. Her
untiring devotion to her sons and grand
son was one redeeming quality at least
Hers was one of those strange lives that

HERR KEENsLER, in Germany, who
has invented an instrument for accu-
rately measuring the variations of day
light, is nov engaged upon more prac-
tical machine. 1t is a newfangled gas
ometer or more strictly speaking, talk
ometer, for measuring the flow OF speech,
and one will be placed in Congress as
soon as ii can be constructed. The Ser
geant-at-Arma fixes his eye upon the dial
Of the instrument, and when a windy
member has wound off his five miles of
speech he is suppressed. In this manner
those garrulou~ members who have been
wont to crowd a two-hours' speech into
one hours time will have no advantage
over the slow and deliberative old gen
tleman, whose words, though full of wis
dom. are 90 soporitic in their results.

THE IRISH TENANTS.

Five hundred tenants of the Marquis of
Sligo and the Earl of duncan, near West
port, County Mayo, Ireland, have solemnly
pledged themselves to pay no rent until re
duction shall be granted proportionate to the
great fall of prices of all kinds of agricultural
produce notice was posted at Warren
Point, County Down, that any man coming
into the county to pay more than a pound
per acre for land must bring his coffin with
him. Exchange.
1t is difficult for one not acquainted with
the tenant laws in Ireland, England and Scot
land to fully appreciate what is the cause of
such movement, or its justice. The law of
landlord and tenant with us is 80 different
that we can not understand the question by
comparison. The kingdom is owned by the
nagnates, and protected by primogeniture,
which of course keeps entailed estates in the
same family, and undivided from generation
to generation. Much glebe land and some
estates where titles have become extinct have
fallen into the hands of companies and large
tracts are managed in this way, but all the
men who till or breed stock, are only tenants
and the real owners, living in London or Parie,
control their representation, turn them out If
delinquent, and care no more for them than
does a resident of this coast for Chinaman
or all Indian. They are not equals socially ;
the landlord has the right by law to trample
upon his tenant, but the tenant has no right
to retaliate. If crops fail, he is still bound to
pay his rent Ii American trade steps i'll to
put him ont of market, his rent goes on. He
does not care about improving his property,
because it is not his, and his crops detriorate;
in fact he has no interest in the sail of which
he does not own one foot. Now it strikes us,
that although this movement may produce
suffering, and perhaps bloodshed; it is the
most sensible step the Irish have yet taken
and if carried out systematically, will create
IA revolution which will benefit Ireland mater
tally. The government will of course coerce
them with powder and ball, but the govern
ment can not repalce good tenants, and no
sane man would rent an Irish farm at
more than a guinea an acre. The landlords
are not farmers, but within twenty five years
they will be, or some others will take their
place. They have driven out during the last
and they can not spare a great many more,
and new system must be inaugurated, or
Ireland will become a different island from
that of to day.

Ex-Governor THRoCKMoRroN, of Texas,
certainly understands all the arts of the old
Texan. In defending Edward Bomar at
GAINESVILLE recently he found it necessary to
answer an argument that because the man
whom Bomar killed was in his shirt sleeves at
the time, he could have had no pistol. Mr..
Throckmorton pulled off his coat and vest, and
standing before the jury, asked them whether
they could see sign of arms about him. No
they couldn't Mr.. Throckmorton then drew
a pistol from under his left arm, another from
under his right, one from each boot, and a
huge bowie knife from the back of his neck
Placing them on the table he said, "Yon see
gentlemen, though in my shirt sleeves, l can
be well armed. This was cincher, and it
carried the point, entirely destroying the ar
gument of the prosecution.
