A very remarkable swindle has
been exposed at Melbourne, by the
Government of Victoria. An auda-
cious person, of the name of Walker,
engaged a year or two ago the steam
ship Ferret 346 tons, belonging to
the Highland Railway Company, for
six months yachting excursion in the
Mediterranean, on behalf of a princi-
pal whom he called Smith, but whose
real name is Henderson, and his wife,
paying for the charter in a bill, which
was afterwards dishonoured. He took
the ship through the Straits of Gibral-
tar, turned her round in the night,
altered the painting of her funnel and
boats, threw overheard a few belong
ings Of the vessel with the 'Ferret's'
name on them to suggest her loss,
changed her name, took her to Santos,
there bought a cargo of coffee
with more bad paper, sold the coffee
at the Cape-in the meantime the
vessels name had been again chang
ed-and at last put into Melbourne,
under a false name, where the truth
was detected. Worse still, it seems,
by the code of signals arranged with
confcderates, that preparations had
been made, in case of need, to burn
the ship at sea and get the premium
for insurance, and to "get rid of" any
officer who might turn out inconveni-
ent. Henderson and Walker ap-
pear to be two of the most audacious,
though fortunately not the most
successful rascals OF the age. 1t is
not easy to guard the secret of a
ships real origin and name. There
are lynx eyes in every British port,
and wonderful memories for [every-
thing marine.

that while the population of the United
Kingdom has increased since 1871 to
$4,000, 900, an increase of 1900, 600, that
of Ireland has diminished to $4,000, q
loss of 100000 souls. Ireland has there
fore declined from being half the whole
kingdom, as she was in 1911, to only
one-seventh. The number of houses is
also less by as, 900. OF the total, more
than a million are Professionals, the Catho.
lies in Ireland not exceeding four millions.
or less than II per cent. Of the whole
population of the two Islands. The Irish
extreme papers say the decline is due to
foreign rule, but the same process begins
to be observable in Sweden, which is
independent, and fairly happy. The
truth is, humble people begin to know
that they can be prosperous elsewhere,
and they go. Much of the Irish emigra-
ton comes to England itself, and much
more goes to America ; in both lands, they
are happier than at home. What is there
to regret in that 7 It is to be noted that
the two counties of Ireland which have
increased are Antrim, where Belfast offers
work for everybody and Kerry. where
the purely Celtic population is too poor

NJ. ST. Hilaire has issued another
diplomatic circular upon the Tunis
question, the object Of which, appa-
rently, is to misrepresent everything
that has occurred. The French
Foreign Minister declares that
France entered Tunis only to pun-
ish the Kroumirs, and liberate the
Bey from a party who desired to
c and humiliate France, and 80
threaten the safety of Algeria. She
therefore !" repressed" the Tunisian'
tribes, and formed a durable alii-
ance. with the Bey." France wish.
es neither annexation nor conquest"
but only to assist Tunis, by her
enlightened cooperation, in more
and more assimilating the advanta-
ges of civilisation." The only . prin-
ciple inspiring French policy is the
maintenance of peace" "As nobo-
dy in the world can doubt tibet

From the Spectator of 35h Jane.)

A deplorable riot has occurred at
Harseilles. On Friday week, some
troops returned from Tunis were
marching through Marseilles, under
the command of General Vincendon,
and amidst general shouts of tri-
umph, when a gentleman On the
balcony of the Italian Club Kissed.
General Vincendcn bowed ironicaI
thanks, but the mob insisted that
the Italian escutcheon on the Club
should be taken down. his was
done, and the Italian and French
workmcn began a series of attacks
on each other, which lasted for four
days, and, indeed, are scarcely end
ed yet. The Italian workmen num-
Der $4,000, and the French work
men hate them, because they accept
lower wages. In spite, therefore,
of the efforts of the leaders of the
Unions, who preached about frater-
nifty, and were obeyed by the better
workmen, large mobs began to
form, the expulsion of the italians
was demanded from the masters,
dozens OF men were thrown tnto the
harbour and canal, and the authori-
ties were compelled to encamp sol
diers in the principal streets. The
total of killed is believed to have
been four or five, but some scores
have been sent into hospital. BY
the latest accounts, the city was
quiet, but the Italians were leaving
in considerable numbers. The ma
gistrates appear to be furnishing
~ringIeaders with impartiality, and
the French Government has direct
ed that order should be strictly
maintained.
, 1881-07-20

The riots have excited great feel
ing in Italy, where it is believed that
Italians in France receive INSULT
cient protection. Meetings have
been held in Rome, Naples, Flo
renee, Palermo, and Turin, to de-
nounce the French, ard the jour
nails talk loudly of the weakness of the
Government. One paper even adj
vosates war, and "The honour of
Italy" has been adopted as a cry
against the government all through
the peninsula. The Government is,
however, strictly moderate orders
have been cent to Consuls in French
cities to paciiy the Italians, and the
most determined measures have been
adopted to prevent public meetings
against France. In Turin, where n
mass meeting had been summon
ed, and where the feeling was ex-
ceptionally strong, the streets were
filled with soldiers, and the people
summoned to dispense in the most
rigorous fashion. The Ministers
exhort the people TO be calm, but
even the Republicans are excited
against the French, and the news
papers advocate a German alliance.
So far as appears, nothing has oc-
Cured for which Italy could demand
reparation, the magistracy IN Mar
settles protecting and Furnishing both
races alike.
