A Curious Watch.

A remarkable mechanical curiosity has
recently been constructed in London. 1t
is watch belonging to a me mber OF Par
lament. and DESIGNED and made express
" for him by James Ferguson Cole, the
celebrated London matchmaker. This
uriquc pocket chronometer has Il silver
dial. on which are niGc hands, indicating
respectively the hou.s. minutes and Sec
onfls the DAYS of the week. the days OF
the month. and the months of the wear.
1t corrects itself for unequal months
That Is to say. changes when they have
tnirtY and when thirty one days, ana
also ecrrects itself for leap wear. 1t -
$" constructed that any slight agitation
of the watch. such as the ordinary eNer
else of walking. winds it up. Thus il
may be worn and will 20 perfectly for
years without requiring even to he open
ed. although IL can also he wound by
KEY in the usual manner The dial i ar
ranged in five circles, and within tie
| largest (the hour rirrit) there is IA SEM
cree showing the moon age and phases
OY means of gold ON Il ground at blue
| steel. At the back of the watch IL 4
! gold indicator for ascertaning the time
in the dark by touch. The complication
OF the mechanism may b. ina lined. and
vet the watch is of ordinary Dimensions
and may be conveniently worn in gen
tleman pocket. 1t cost the sum of three
hundred gulneas.

America unite in dcnOuncing the assaSsna-
tions at Dublin. To be sure, one of the
leaders at a Land League meeting yesterday
declared that no more notice should be taken
of these murders than has been taken when
any of the countless men have been shot
down by cOnstables IN Ireland; but generally
the crime is unsparinGly condemned. The
president of the National Land League has
issued a manifesto saying that only an arch
enemy of the Irish race, or an idiot
would have conceived or executed such wick
edness The damage that has been done to
the Irish cause seems to he fully appreciated,
but the assertion comes from many quarters
that the deed was tLe work either of hired
aSsassins of cnraged landlords, or some poor
man who has been crazed by his wrongs. The
fact that The American movement in behalf OF
Ireland will probably lose much sympathy which
it has heretofore received here, is not unIOtced,
and probably is as sore a point as any to
Them 1t is a noteworthy fact that the Land
Leaguers in New York find their hope now
in Mr.. Gladstone, the man whom they hav
so lorg denounced They declare that he will
do them the justice to believe that the Irish
people must not be held responsible for the
crime and tlIat he viii not withdraw the
helping hand he has extended. Whether the
Premier believes this or not, the world at
large will hold the spirit that has caused the
numbcrless assassinations in Ireland hereto
fore, responsible for these last murders.

Adding the first week in May, in which the
excess OF exports was abOu! T2,2OO,OOO in
1852, while the excess Of imports was ;S762. 423
in 1881, We have net exports of about
81 100000 in 1oS2, against net imports OF
$2G,J74,2l4 in 1851. The difference in mon
ctary supply is over $3S,O0O.OO0 in four
months and one week. There is a wide diff
ference of opinion rs 10 the Importance Of gold
exports at this time, and is to Che probability
OF their continuance. BY many it is argued
that the country, having added S296,O0O 900
TO It's supply of gold in 1879, 1850 and 1SS1,
and having a supply from is mines amounting
to nearly $3,O0O,0OO per month, can regard
with ind.n renee any outward movement of
the precious metal, even if che amount should
become quite large. On the other hand, it is
reasoned by The Financial Chronicle that
boarding abs0r1s more gold chan the mines
produce so that eve have no stock to draw
export, from, except that ncd by the banks
land the Treasury
Some cyidcnc. that the latter view is mainly
correct may be drawn from the official state
mnnts. The net exports Of gold from all ports
during the first quarter OF the year, as shown
above, were S9, l2O02l. From January | 10
April the gold owned by the Treasury de-
cincd from $lG7, l29,3l7 to $lG1, 300. 1877, or
%Gl3-. $40. The gold held hy all the National
banks was SlO5.731los January /. and
$40, Ool, FOG March II, a loss OF -, 800, lo2.
Hence, ii the banks held no more gold April
l than they held March II. it would appear
that about 50, 10000 went ont Of the banks
and Treasury in those months, while only
$50, 10000 went abroad. The Treasury pay
mcnts here show that only $l27,0J9 went ont
Of the Treasury into the banks at this point,
from March II to April /, and it is therefore
probable that more gold by about $1,000 900
was drawn from the banks and the Treasury
than was sent ont OF the country. In other
words, the boarding process absorbed All the
gold produced by the mines, except what was
used in arts and manufactures, and about
81, GOO, eco more. But it does not follow that
tins process of absorption of gold will continue
at the same rate during the summer months,
when farmers are selling comparatively little.
In fact, the absorption of gold appears to bc
greatest during the six months ending with
March from harvest to sccd-timc If it should
Toe small from this time until new crop. come into
market. some exports of gold might take place
without depicting the reserves of the Treasury
or the banks. AS Il rule, the Treasury will pay
out only such an amount of money III it has
first collected from the people in taxes. The
