OBITUARY We regret to tifliuunee that Sir Jame Ingham, chief metropolitan magistrate, died at his residence, 40, Gloaeester sqnare, Hyde Park, yesterday I afternoon. Born ia 180S, he was the younger ton of the late Mr.

Joshua Ingham, of Blake hall, in the West Riding of Yorkshire. His mother was St art ha, daughter of Mr. Jame Taylor, of Halifax. He wa educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated M.A. in 1S32.

The same year he wa called to tifc.C13 the Bar at the Inner Temple, and. having joined the as ndiculons.and aVcri. as the only possible way of I Northern Circuit, he practised at the West RMlng Bes eacaping from the difficulties in Ireland, which he, sion. In 1849 he was appointed one of the magistrates to a great extent, had himself created. On what 0f the Thame Police court, and passed thence to the rround.

therefore, he would aak, could they trust him I n. vr.i i i vi i arain rerr fortunate for them just now that ther had the Report of the Special Commission before them. What the so called coercion policy of the present Government was really directed against wa shown conclu tvely by the Judge in their Report. (Cheers.) As a nutter of fact, this Coercion Act wai'directed against combination and ctill more against the crimes which followed on that combination. (Cheer.) Boycotting was the weapon, and had been for year tie chief weapon, for the purpose of that combination and what did the Commissioners say in their Report I They declared that it constituted a system of intimidation of the moat severe and cruel character.

This wa the combination against which he acknowledged aad admitted the coercion policy of the present Gorernment had been directed (cheers), and, against which he thanked God, owing to the courage and resolution of Mr. Arthur Balfour (loud cheers), it had been to a great extent successful. (Cheers.) This system of intimidation, the Judges went oa to say, operated as it was intended. He did not care whether he wasaddresting liberals, Radical, or Tories be would pot this Snestion fearlessly to them all Was this a state of iinrs that could be permitted in a civilised country in the year 1890, and if thi wa not a "state of things that could be permitted, then waa not the Government Justified in suing measures, however serious, to suppress it (Cheers.) The leaders of the Land League, who combined together to carry out this system of txracotting, were guilty of criminal conspiracy. This codspiracy was made thoroughly'effeetive for the purpose in the manner in which Mr.

Dillcn, one of the leaders, bad described the words were given in the Report Mr: Gladstone had said it was the greitest mistake in the world to look back in thi matter far as ten year ago. But in lcl, in the month of October, be found that Mr. Dillon said I hare been for nine year now engaged in thi struggle, and if any man asks me what was it' that I won I can answer without hesitation it wa keeping' the farm empty and then he went en to sty ttey before had tried good means and bad. but there never was the slightest success until they 1S76, he (neceeded Sir Thomas Henry a chief magi' strata of the pollce coorts in London, and at this time wa knighted. He married, in 1833, Gertrude, daughter of the late Mr.

Jame Penrose, of Woodhill, county Cork. Sir Jame Ingham will be long remembered in connexion with numerous Important extradition ease upon which he had to adjudicate. The last mall from Asrtralla brought intelligence of the death of the Very Rev. Dr. John Fitxpatrlrk, VI ear General, which occurred at Melbourne on January 21, at the age of 80.

Dr. Fitlpatriek wa born in Dullin in 1810, and (tudied for several year at Carlow College, Ireland, and subsequently at May nooth College. At 27 year of ago be accepted the invitation of the late Bishop to Join the Catholie Church in Sydney, and in 1837 be wa actively engaged there in a "diocese which extended from the Murray to the borders of Queensland. In 1847 he went to Victoria, and in 1853, on the return of Dr James Goold, the late Arebbishopof Melbourne, from his first visit to Borne, he was appointed Vicar General. Einea that period he largely contributed to the progress of the Roman Catholic Church in Victoria, and at the death of Archbishop Goold he filled the position of Administrator of the Arch diocese until the arrival of Archbishop Carr.

Dr. Fitspatrick was associated with most of the philanthropic movements ot bis day. The work in connexion with which he is chiefly known is the erection of St. Patrick's Cathedral, Melbourne. Mr.

Abraham Lincoln, son of the American Minister, in London, succumbed to his long and 'painful illness shortly after 11 o'clock yesterday morning. The death Is announced of Mr. James Smith, of Spennymoor, champion draught player of England. Mr. Smith, who was only 30 year of age, expired of Pl0n ll" d0cSL5 ne.m4n i paralysi.

mmmmmm TUB NEW BARRACKS SCHEME. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir, I sea that ia a leading article in The Times of to day it is attributed to me that, in tho conversation in the House of Commons on Thursday last upon tho Government proposal to spend ot' barrack ir I snggostad that tho beg and pray oi went to ucvotw ait uieir energies on uuiihuuiou. ouuuiu iv. wnu.u..m.

thu occaaioa in returning the Conservative and the House of Commons to consider, what the Unionist candidate At the conclusion of Mr. Chaplin's speech a vote ot confidence in Mr. Cast wa passed. A large meeting ia support of Mr. Cast' Candidature was held last evening at Thrapston, nnder the Trefideney of Lord Burghley, M.P.

Mr. Ahmead Bartlett, M.P., and Mr. Barry, M.P., being also present. Speaking of the Report of the Spcfil Uommlsaion.air. Asnmeaa inien, toe me awe sou Ttnnrt.

(Cheers. The Judge report that aeven Parnelhto member of strencth of tho Army ought to bo." I shall bo. obliged if yon will aflowme, in your columns, to say that I made no suchsupestion.

I should consider it most unicsirablo to remit such a question to a Committee it ia a question for the Cabinet to dscide on its responsibility. I did, indeed, complain that we wero invited to embark upon this large expenditure on barrack construction without havinc received any assurance that the quostion ot the force for which barracks are required had been fully considered on its merits and in the light of recent alterations in tho defensive preparations of the country. Wo .1 1. MUMBt to WKout tion w.thont any certainty that the force now have brought these gentlemen to the block. (Cheers.) Ulnod.

The Judges report that 42 ot the rarnellite memi crs It was, however, the actual detailed scheme of have been guilty of a criminal conspiracy to mtimii: the Government for tho reallocation of the troops u.nr... imu sntim date, and mroucnout, mo cuuuuy, mat i surcosiea snouia be consiaereu oy oeioct committee, annears to bo a subject eminently capable of ao dealt with, being a question complete in itself fof iu feres atmu rotundiu at the same time. essentially requiring a degree of detailed investigation House, except through a Committee, cannot possibly undertake. I believe that an examination of the scheme in all its particulars by a Committee, including members conversant with the rules and practices of ordinary business, would be most useful, and that, without such an oTmin.ition. the House of Commons, if it rotes this great sum ol money, will rote it practically in the dark.

Tour obedient servant, H. CAMPBELWUTreKU. Dalmeny Park, Edinburgh, March 3. bear.) When that Report first beeame poWii? their political opponent declared that not only white wash the Irish members but it put them upon such a pedestal.as It were, that the only possible course open to the Government was to make some reparation to them whether pecuniary or otherwise was not stated. Her Majesty's Government took them at their word anH proposed to pat the Report on record, but that cour.

tbey had entirely declined. Their position in this matter wa clear. They bad had nothing to do, direetly or indirectly, with the personal charges which were advanced against rertsln Individual Irish members but what they bad asserted over and over again was that the agitation of which Mr. Parnell was the head was Dot a constitutional agitation and was not conducted by constitutional methods, and the Judges had not only reported that that was tho ease, but they had practically endorsed and confirmed the opinions expressed by Sir W. Harcourt and Mr.

Gladstone when in ofBce as to the nature of Mr. Parnell' agitation. (Hear, bear.) He would only add to the findings of the Judges one little observation made by Mr. Herbert Gladstone in addressing an andience in the north ot Knfland. He said that when his party came into office they did not care what the Conservatives would do, as Mr.

Parnell would be in possession of the Irish Government and would bare control over the Irish magistracy and police. Let them remember that the men to whom Mr. Herbert Gladstone wa prepared to hand over the control of the police and the magistracy had beca found guilty of inciting to crime ami outrage and of co operating with dynamiters and tbey could understand that really respectable people in Ireland did not look forward with much satisfaction to being handed over to a Government composed of such persona. But, although the Unionist party rejected Home Rule, they did not in the smallest degree oppose loraf self government. They bad no confidence or belief whatever in the principles of those who advocatnl Home Rale for Ireland, Amongst the allegations made in the debate now going on was that in loSS there was an alliance between the Parnellitea and the Con serrative party.

Sir M. Hicks Beach had given a most emphatic denial' to th statement. There never was any alliance between the ParnellltC and the Conservative party, although Sir. Parnell did give orders to hi followers to support the Conservative candidate in certain constituencies. Mr.

Pamell did so deliberately, in bis opinion, for his own purposes. The Conservative party at the time was rather the weaker.andbe wished to bring it more on a level with the Liberal party, because be probably thought that when th two great English parties were on an equality he would be able to bold the balance and dictate his terms. Mr. Parnell wa an astute man and wa not wrong in hi estimate of Mr. Gladstone and Bir W.

Harcourt. It was found that the Gladstonian party could not accede to power without the help of Mr. Parnell, and Mr. Gladstone and Sir W. Harcourt had to do one of two things either to adhere to their principles and forego office, or adhere to office and forego their principles.

(Cheers and laughter.) Tbey adopted the latter course, and from that day, with the single exception of four months, they had been permanently in Opposition, and were bound hand and foot to Mr. Parnell. No captive was ever more hopelessly hound to tho chariot of his victor than were poor Sir Harcourt and Mr. Gladstone to Mr. Parnell.

It was absolutely lamentable to see these twogcntlemcn.not only swallowing and adopting wholesale the policy of Mr. Parnell, which when they were in oflico in old times they denounced, but actually advocating those very methods of intimidation which ticy denounced contrary to the elementary laws upon which society was founded. Such practices did not, however, pay in the long run. Notwithstanding, the difficulties with whieh they had had to contend, he did not think any Government in modern times had been more successful than they had teen. (Hear, heir;) They had lost an election here and there, npon the whole their losses had been less than those of any Government which bad held office for many years past.

(Hear, hear.) The extraordinary ability and resources shown by Mr. Balfour hal made it clear to the whole country that Ireland could be governed from Westminster, and he believed that the Report of the Special Commission would bring home to the mind of every sensible and moderate man that to hand over Ireland to the National League would be absolute madness. It was not only in Irisa matter that the Gladstonian party had shown ho4 hopelessly bound they were to Mr. Parnell. The with reference to the system of national education fa England wa most Instructive.

Mr. Morley's proposhl amounted to this, that certain very limited sect were to be put ia such a position that tbey should have ad vantage ana lavoar over ana above tne scboois ol other denomination the schools excluded from the favours being those of the Chnrch of England and of every Nonconforming body In the kingdom. It was practically endowing denominational education oat of publio funds, and wa an absolute reversal of everything that had hitherto been done in popular education. As some, of their dissenting friends did not approve of this proposal ho had no doubt there woald be an attempt to climb down. Hear, hear and laughter.) He gave it, however, as an illosUatioaof the penalties of the alliance now existing between the Gladstonian and Mr.

Parnell. iteterence nad been made that evening to the Naval Defence Act He might lay the Admiralty hoped to carry out successfully the work intrusted to them. He wa speaking not only his own opinion, hat that of every permanent official, that it was of inestimable benefit to the Navy that there shoald.be a standard of strength and a consistent expenditure continued over a number of years instead of depending upon the financial exigeneie of the moment. Such an expenditure ouia insure continuity and would give every man seared in administrative work in the Admiralty a clear idea of the standard towards which he was work ing. The compilation of the Narr Estimate was formerly a most complicated business and took some thin it like three mnnlhi in dnitxr Vow thn nrW ennl.t be accomplished In.

three weeks, and thus they had so i minutes before 12, and was seen to go down Se much the mora time to attend to questions of organisa lane. Soon after voices, one of them the pri: tioa and national defence. During the last six or seven month he'believed they had made greater advances in putting their naval defence into a satisfactory condi tion tnan oaa ever oeen a on in toe like time oeiore. (Hear, hear.) On the conclusion of bis observations the noble lord presented a testimonial, consisting of a clock and a purse, which had been subscribed for by member of the association, to Mr. Houghton Turner, their late secretary.

Mr. HoconTOX Turxir having acknowledged the gift, the proceedings termtsated. aecnssxl rarnellite aia inciiB vj that the "cocaeonence of that incitement was Wiat crime 'and outrage were comraiitea me pereuu.

What boots it that the other Parnellit member are acquitted ot directly inciting toother crime than intimidation, or of beiag insincere in their denaneiatlona of the Pboaatx Park tragedy?

A news accncT states rviui Twji.r (l it who baa been appointed Consul General at Beyrout, has been succeeded at Constantinople as Military Attach try uoionei uicrm WAGES QUESTIONS. From 6,000 to 7,000 labourers bare now struck work at tho Liverpool Docks, and though the employers have conceded the increased wages demanded (7. a day for mcn trimming grain), the men demand acceptance ot the union This the employers reject, not so much, because of any special rule, but because they object to have their business regulated for them by the union. Within the past two or three days large numbers of labourers have gravitated towards Liverpool on account of the high rate of pay, and the Em plovers' Labour Association bare imported a considerable dumber.

About 1,000 are longed on board the steamship City of Richmond in the Linjtcn Dock, and a like number are being accommodated in the dock sheds. To day the North Docks are to be closed against all except those who have bu.siners there. A considerable number of the imported men from Sheffield, Chatham, Truro, and other towns have been got at by the unionists, with the result that they refuse to work. Yesterday some hundreds of them marched from. tho north end to the Town hall to see the Mayor, as they were hungry and penniless.

The council was sitting at the time, and the Mayor sent out. word by the Head Constable that be could not interfere in the dispute. The crowd proceeded, under police guidance, to the workhouse, where tLe aspect of the large assemblage became threatening. The mcn were evidently fagged out, and clamoured for food and money to take them home, again. They were told that tbey could enter the workhouse, A number of the men then presented themselves for relief, but on being told that they could not leave the workhouse until Friday, that in the meantime they would be required to work, and would receive no wages, all except about a score refused to go in.

A large body belonging to Warrington and Manchester started in the direction of Prescot, with the object of tramping home. Others from long distances returned down Brownlow hill, intending to demand from the shipowners the means to take them home. One man from Chatham said he bad been engaged with 45 others to eome to Liverpool. They travelled all day yesterday without anything to eat. On arrival in Liverpool he and the others were taken on board the City of Richmond.

Tbey were served with something to eat, but there was a struggle even for a bit of bread, and not even a run of water was to be had. In the morning all they could get was a bit of bread butter, and tbey were glad to leave. Forty ot them were in the crowd at the workhouse, 250 miles from home, and without money "or food. A meeting of five or six thousatd labourers was held near to thelluskis on Dock. Mr.

Edward M'Hugh (the general secretary ot the union), in the course of a long speech, referred to the action which bad been taken towards the imported men. lie strougly advised his hearers to stick together, and said the fight had been forced upon them. Alderman Poulson, of Bootle, stated it appeared to him that they were oo the eve of a very big strike, which would hare very disastrous effects, and he considered that if, they could possibly avert it it would be much the better for tbem. Tbey should ask the shipowners to meet them and discuss the differences. Mr.

M'Hugh said there were very few merchants in Liverpool who were not aware that there was an organisation in Liverpool and that this organization had offices. If tbey wanted to confer with the labourers' officials they knew where to find tbem. The meeting then separated, the men shouting, Victory and no surrender." A conference1 of delegates from the various northeasters branches of the Amalgamated Society of Engineers was held yesterday at Sunderland and a decision was eome to that the demand for a 12 o'clock Saturday bo insisted npon. Should the members of the society stand firm to their demands, about 30,000 men will cease work on Saturday. The men's demands, so far as wages are concerned, have been arranged, but the Saturday dispute threatens to cause a strike.

A deputation of citizens, headed by the Roman Catholic BUhop and the Mayor, waited vei terJay afternoon on the bacon merchants oMVsterford and succeeded in arranging the dispute between masters and men which had existed for five weeks. Tho merchants agreed to advance wages 2s. per week, and work will therefore be resumed to day. SOTAL CHORAL SOCIETY. The rapidly increasing decentralization ef zensie la England i by no nvaaas aa waaealthy alga of oar condition, bat it Is etttic to notice that ef the three choral works aanoonced for performance thia week, not one was first produced either in London or at the regal ar prorlnlal festivals.

The tws works by Dr. Mackenzie given at the Albert Ball last signs were firtt beard in' Edinburgh and Liverpool respectively, and Mr. MaeCunn' cantata, to be performed oa Bator day next at the Crystal Palace, first saw the light la Scotland. The setting or Tit Cetttr'i Saturdar Ifigki, by the Principal of the Hoy 1 Academy of will always, we fear, appeal mainly to Scotch aadienees, whose pleasure ia the fnasia will not be diminished by any larking sense of incongruity between the homely phrases of the poet and the scholarly tractor ef the music. To English ears the description of the hale some parriteb hardly Sugg its the passages of mosi cal Imitation to which it is wedded apart from this, howerer, there are maay point which Englishmen can accept with admiration.

The 'purists 'who will object to the omission of the poetical dedication te Dr. Aitken, or of the other short passages which da not appear in the music, are probably cot many la number. The amount in all to only six stanzas, aad without them the cantata is quite long enough for ordinary purposes, occupying, as It doe, about three quarters of an hour. Kejordinary difficulties lay in the composer way, but, granting the of setting the poem at all, it ia not easy to see how it could have been done better, or indeed" otherwise. The choral writing is more solid and Interesting than In most of the composer' former works, and although it contain no very striking points, the cantata.

Is not ithout considerable value. The famous description of the devotions of the family gives opportunities of which the com pot er ha taken full adrantage it is treated with dignity and power, and is'by far the most effective part of the work. Dr. MackenzieXIs to be commended for refraining from more than a very slight allusion to the hymn tones mentioned by the poet, and to the Italian trill with whieh they are (of course favourably) contrasted. The three form of choral treatment namely, homophony, in which the voices are used in solid masses polyphony, ia which they foUow one another in more or less strict imitation and antiphony, in which they answer one another ia dialogue are employed In such just propor tions that less monotony is experienced than might have been dreaded from the absence of solo numbers.

as well as from the nature of the poem, in wbich.there is nothing in the" shape of dramatic incident from beginning to end. It is carious and most instructive. as showing the composer artistic restraint and breadth of style, to notice few are the musical division of the work. An extensive movement in common time, increasing in animation as it goes on, is foUowed, at the words Bat hark a rap come gently to the door." by an altegrttto in six eight time, and of dis tinctly pastoral character, founded on an old tune this movement is not changed until the section above referred to is reached. The whole of thi passage, treating ot tha household worship, is again in common time, which is continued with none bat slight modification of the general character of the movement until it gives place to the epilogue beginning From scenes like these," in which triple time is employed.

and a broad subject is developed; at some length and with much skill. The work was received 'with favour, but with considerably less enthusiasm than The Drtctm ef JiaX, with whieh the concert concluded. The' chief solos were in the hand of Macintyre and Mr. Barton M'Gackin, the former of whom gave the solo The Lord is good with morej warmth of expression than she imparted to it on the occasion of the first performance in London. The Song ot the Sickle met, as niual, with great success.

The complementary parts of the quartet in the Gloria, whieh form the first illustration of the power of musie, were taken by Miss Hannah Jones and a gentleman who appeared to be very imperfectly acquainted with the note. The poem was recited with much taste by Miss Julia Neilson, who succeeded in making herself 'distinctly heard. There is doubtless a great substituting the female for the male voice in the declamatory portion of the work, since the former allow the delicate orchestration to be not only beard but appreciated. The composer conducted, both hi works, the choral portions of which were most ably sung. In the newer cantata no attempt was made to imitate the Scotch dialect after the first few stanzas were finished.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT, March 5. (Beert lAe Rzcokdeb.) Robikt SmaLIT, 19, labourer, was indicted for a burglary in the dwelling house of Michael Brahan, and stealing therein a coat aad an axe. Mr. Gill prosecuted. It seemed that on the night of February 7 the prosecutor's premises in Regent' Park road were found to bare been broken into.

It was discovered that an axe and a coat had been stolen from the premises. It wa also found that a house in Roth well street, in the same neighbourhood, had been broken into on the same night, and the axe which had been stolen from the prosecutor's premises was found in that house, together with an odd boot and a sock. Some wearing apparel was stolen from the bouse in Kothwell street. The prisoner was subsequently arrested In an' unoccupied house in Regent's Park road, where he was found concealed in a cupboard. The prisoner was wearing some of the clothes which had been stolen from Kothwell street, and he also claimed the odd boot and sock whieh had been found there as hi.

The jury found the prisoner Guilty. A previous conviction for housebreaking was proved against the prisoner. The Recobdib sentenced the prisoner to five years' penal servitude. EbwABD Qciss COLES surrendered to bis recognizances and was indicted for attempting to procare tLe commission of an act of indecency. Mr.

Besley prosecuted Mr. H. Richard and Mr. Salter appeared for the defence. The prosecutor wa a boy named Piper.

A Bomber of witnesses were called for the defetce, who spoke to the excellent character torne by the defendant. Two witnesses were also called who said they would not believe Piper on his oath. The defendant wa called aa a witness and denied the charge. The jury returned a verdict of Tel guiltj. and the pre man said tbey wished to add that they did not consider there wa the (lightest stain on the defendant' character.

The Recorder said he entirely agreed in the" verdict oi toe sry in the opinion tbey bad formed. He did not think that the prosecutor deserved his expenses. He thought his story, wa a false one. THE FULHAM MURDER. Mr.

Gladstone axd Roman Catholics. Mr. Gladstone ha addressed the following letter to the Rev. B. W.

Dobie, of Bloebairn Free Church, Glasgow Many year agTf I think in 18741 ex pressed tn two pampniets my opinion as to the demand which appeared to me to be made from Rome upon our Roman Catholie fellow subject. There waa at was time a very iuu response, and i gave my opinion that, whatever, their demands might be, their allegiance to the Crown of thia kingdom was loond, firm, and unimpeachable. Since that time this contention las received striking confirmation in Ireland from the conduct cotn ot toe rarllamentarv party and el the clergy and I hope no one will desire now to retain two isolated and perfectly Ineffectual remnant of a system which belonged to other times and circumstances, and of which' the Justification has whoUy passed away." Sir Richaxo Owx. From inquiries made last nirht at his reaidenea. KiVtimiuui it was ascertained that there i a marked improvement in the condition of Sir Richard Owes.

Sir age aa visited him, and strong hopes are entertained ot hi resorerr. notwithstanding his eurauccu age. At the Norwich Assl res, yesterday, before Justice Denman, ELUAn S9ELLI50, SH, rat catcher waa indicted for thn wilful murder of Maria Brown at Pulham on the 8th of January last. Mr. Mard and Mr.

J. F. P. Kawlinon appeared for tho prosecution Mr. Hansel 1 defended the prisoner.

The deceased woman left her home a little before 12 on the day in question to take her husband his dinner, and to do so she would hare to go along a road called Seamererlane. The prisoner, who is thn son in law of the deceased, was on that morning in the Ram Inn at Pulham.and there told a man that bis wife wa bad, but his mother in law far worse. He left about three amere soner'r and another a woman s. were beard scfeaminr and shouting from the direction of the lane, and the dead body of Mrs. Brown was found in the ditch just over the fence, with her head terribly battered and covered with blood, and her skull fractured by blows from lomethin; blunt.

About 12 20 the nrlsoner was seen by a. Mr. Hardy in afield not far from Seamere lane. Mrs. 'Hardy 'told him that his poor old mother in law was lyinp dead in a ditch.

He said that she wa nothing: to him. and that he hoped she was at Hell by He was next seen in the laoe. where some people were liftinr the body from the ditch. He gave na help, but on being asked why there was blood on hi boots and trousers he said he supposed it was done in getting the body oat of the ditch. A witness said 1 should not be surprised If wnn nt tfc.ra th.

..,) A A I murdered her scrvpught to hare been murdered years ago." Uu oeitrr arrested be sau I give myself up for the murder f. my mother in law." He seemed dazed and stupid. A plea of insanity was set up on behalf of the prisoner. The jury, however, ithout retiring from the box. returned a verdict of uilty, and sentence of death wa passed upon the prisoner.

Last nicht at the London Institution, Finbury circns. Mr. J. Scott Keltic, librarian of the Royal Georrarhieal Society. delivered, under the auspices of the Institute of tSanstrs, the last or a course or tour lecture' on Commercial Geography." The lecturer, after giving with 'some fulness of detail an account of the distribution of fool products over the surface of the earth, passed to the subject of England's coal deposit.

It was piaiu. ue saia. seas in no very long time Erltetn must erase to bold the place she had held so long in the coal supply of the world. There was no sign of any oiuivii oi our iron supply our pronaetion OI iron ore waa almost equal to that of the wools of Can tinentsl Europe, and no other country could compare to us in iron industry. The great point was, so far as Britisa commerce was concerned, would it pay us to import' coal to work our iron ores If it did not, bow would our commercial supremacy be affected ni were our sourest oi weaitn and Usererore of power 7 No doubt, products of metal manufacture were a highly important export, but textile product were far more ao.

We were no looser a great agricultural country, bat we were none the less powerful for all that. We had still our enormous commercial fleet and our lucrative carrying trade. We had still our eminent geographical position between the new world and the old. Oar position as a distributing centre was scarcely less adaantageoos than ever it was. The problem was a nice one to work not What, were the reel elements of Britain's commercial supremacy, and how far were, they likely to be affected by the development of new countries, the discovery of new sources of supply the establishment of nsw trade routes Gold could hardly be called a commercial commodity.

The total yield of gold in the world probably amounted at present to about 31,000.000 and it seemed bound to lacrease. What would happen if the gold supply of the world were to run out it was hard to say. Probably, the bimetallists might be reconciled to their adversaries. His maia ebjeet ia these lectures had been te give them sons bint and illustrations a to the various ways in which geography could be applied to the Interests ef industry and commerce aad if he bad succeeded ia what he bad been aiming at they most hare sees that the two departments were intimately connected.
