A report from Killarney states that on Friday night between thirty and forty armed and mounted men made a raid for arms at Head ford, a station on tha Ureat Southern and Western Railway, within five miles of ff.iilamoy.

M'Cartie, with his family, was obeent, and the place vas in oharga of domestics, woo gave up a gun. It is said that tbey search 'd tho house, and refreshed theaiselves from the lardir.

There seemed to ho on tha part of the Iaree ioiaiiss a Bort competition as to who should collect, h.osi money and do most good. God grant that tbey misiht continually influenced by tbi-i spiiir. They heird of Na'ional Societies and Denominational Socieiiea, but they did not find a congregation of Missionary Societies.

Tho London Missionary Suciety might however be c-illel a cosmopolitan one, and it was pleasant to feel that ira work was as broad and as cosmopolitan as the city it was named after. Tbey were strictly unsect rrian. and wherever their missionaries went in foreign lands tbey were at liberty to adopt that form of Church Government which in their opinion was best suitedfort.be peopl-i they laboured amongst, The report of the branch, which was rend by the Secrttary (Mr. McCrea), Bet forth that ,169 19s. 21., had been forward.

The Bubnoiip-tions compared fayouribly with thoFB of former years, for whilst some had been lost by removal of friends, the loss had been rather more than replaced by nnnu.il subscriptions from new Bources. Out of the sum sent to the Parent Society, ,57 18a. 5rl. was contributed by Ihe Juvenile Branch, whioh afforded vi ry encouraging prospect for Missionary work.

But I mention these to you at once, beoauae I want you to tell me exactly how things stand, nrd to give me courage. For I should wish to go straight to Enghnd if nothing is beiog done. If it isso, pray send me those Induoas. I do dread tho sea, but my heart troubles me still more. Stand by me, you son of Colenso.

John Dunn ought not to stay in Zalaland. He will only destroy it agiin. I am rnuoh grieved for that wife of mine who, I hear, is dead. My heart is darkened because of my wife, who was very dear to me. Write for me to my family that I may mmm grea'ly far this.

But it. grieves me that I do not kaow where or how she died. You only tell me her name. Ask for rae where she was living, eioce (for aught I hear) she may have died on the hill side. Why was she not, like the others, with Mad una I have been much ahocked about Dibuka, who has killed himself because of his wrong-doing.

THE ENGLISH RHINE. A correspondent of the 'limes contributes an art'e'e from Dartmouth under the aliove beiding. Ha remarks that the people of South Devon love to speik of the River Dirt as (he English Rhine.

They are not very wise in so doing. The river of which they are proud is well worthyof adrnira. lim, yet. it has nothing in common wiih the Roine except natural beauty, while this beauty differs in scale and character from that of the renowned German river. In a very important and striking particular the Dart is dietin-gniahed from Ihe Rhine.

The interest and charm of the lattr stream ooour many miles from i's mouth, whereas the banks of the Dart are extremely prcture-que at its mouth. Indeed, among the many bsautifully-siruited towns on the Biuthooastsf Engl md. taere is sciroely ono which gives greater delight than Dartmouth to the admirers of natural scenery. It is a town which can be se-n to the best advantage when approached from the sea. If the weather be fine there js no more enjoyable trip, nor ib tbero eny more exquisite prospeot.

than a eail along, the English Channel and Ihe view of the southern ooast. Suob a Irip it has been my good fortune to have made in one of the vasels of Ihe Royal Mail Castle Line of steamers, plying between the Thames and tho Cap-, and ca'ling at Dartmouth on the outward voyage to embirk passengers and letters. The Garth Castle in which I was a passenger is as fine a specimen of naval architecture, and as comfortably arranged for the conveyance of passengers, as any of ihe fl rating palaoea whioh sail between Liverpool and New York. About twenty hours after Stirling irnm and without, staming at her full epead, the Oarth Castle approaches Dartmouth. As Ihe vessel nears tho shore I am puzzled, in common with other inexperienced landsmen, ns to Ihe possibility of an eDtranoe existing, the coast appearing without a break after passing Torbay, Dartmouth must be a pleasant place of abode in the winter months, as it is amply protected by bills from onld winds, and ejposed to the full influence of the sun.

Many shrubs which would wilher uuder the influence of cold, fl.iurish h-re luxuriantly. To sail up Ihe river to Totnes is a duty inoumbent upon every visitor to Dartmouth. As I said at tbe outset, the people in this part of Devonshire consider a trip on the Dart quite as charming bb a eail up the Rhine A smull steamer plies twice daily between Dartmouth and Totnes. I went in Ihe evening while it was still daylight and returned later when the buo had giren place to the moon, bo that I was able to judge of the effect under both conditions. The vorieiyof scenery is graat, and the gener.il edact is very pleasing.

No person who really appreciates lovely scenery will be blind to the charms of the Dart. The fact that depreciatory oritieism takes the form of regret that there should be so little of it is a real tribute to the river's beauty. thus." FOREIGN MISCELLANY. An English sailing vessel has been attacked and pillaged by pirates near tbe island of Saraos, German military circles estimate that one-sixth of the whole regular French infantry has already been despatch ed to Africa. The picturesque village of Reichenback, in the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland, hasbeen almost destroyed by a fall of stone.

The British Resident at Aden telegraphs that cholera has broken out thre and that thirty cases out of thirty-eeven hare proved fatal. News baa been received in Paris that Mr. H. M. Stanley ia lying dangerously ill half-way between Stanley Pool and tbe month of the Congo.

The German Government has orderei the purchase of stallions and mares iu England for the improvement of the breed of horses in Garmany. The Protectionists of New York ara about to oommeace an aolive agitation, with a view to stimulate home industries at tbe expense of the import trade. Prince Frederick of the Netherlands, uncle to lha King, died on Thursday at hia reidenoe nar tho Hague. His Royal Highness was in hia 85th year. Great damage has done by earthquakes in the Nea-poli'an provinces of Italy.

Some peraoua have lost their lives, aod several others have been injured. A very unfavourable feeling has besa created at Constantinople by ihe attitude of Russia wbh regard to the negotiations fur the settlement, of the Turkish debt. Elm, a village in Gliris, Switzerland, was on Sunday night overwhelmed by an avalanche of stones, and two hundred of the inhabitants are repurtsd to bare perished. A train on the railway ia Missouri has bsea stopped by thieves. Nearly overy passenger was robbed, ami 30,000 dollars were atotea from tho bullion safe.

The thieves escaped. The Morning Pott believes, that the German Government has given to the Government of Madrid the moat form il assurance tint it will support Spain in any question arising from a menacad occupation of a part of Morjeco by French troops. An official inquiry in India regarding the truth of an allegation lately male in Parliament that an organised system exists of decoying young women from Europe to Bombay, has proved that there is no found itiou for suoh a statement. William Scott, ohief officer of the repsrts that I. itOQEUs, moving ne aioption or the report, gave an interesting account of the sooiety'a operations and mode of 1 wo'king in Me.dagasoar, showing how they got their chapels built at a cost of not more than 1 to the society, how native teachers were trained as schoolmasters, Schoolmasters the society paid at the rate of from 61.

to 2a. 6:1. per month but as far as preaching was concerned, hehidrieser paid any man a single rice-grain weight of silver for it, so that the church had been Belf-suppririinfr in that respect for some tioro. In conclusion, he Bail that I from the centre of tbe iBland the truth was gradually spreading to tbe utmost limits of the land. Mr.

Gates, in seconding tbe adoption of the report, apologised for the absence of Mr. Gadrl, who had been enddmly Called away. The Rev. E. A.

Wareham moved that the following i ftenllemea form tbe committee, viz. The Deacons of tbe Church, Messrs. Bovans, Coucb, Ellis, Gauntlett, end Petherick Mr. Lr'nford, Treasurer. Collectors, Miss Bevana, Miss Linford.

Mrs. Napier, and Miss Williams. Ha Faid that in 1795, at a period not tavourablr. for i Missionary enterprise, a few eirnest Christians Epie-. oopalians.

Presbyterianp, and Congregation diet" met together for prajer in London, and tho result was theforma-J tion of what was then known as The Missionary i Soci-ty." The term London was attached to thtm simply because tbeir chief offices were eiiuated there. He was glad to say that tha Soci-ty had never swerved from the i broad fundamental prinoiple on which it was started eighty-i seven years ago. Their work was started on a broad, Catholic principle, and now there was not a single parish ohurch in Scotland which was not op in to tho Missionaries of tha society. There was an idea among some people that a great deal of the money contributed did not go out of tho country, and he was told, on the previous day, that 82 out of I every 100 was spent in Enir'and. If he thought there whether that is bo or not, I must say I do not snder- stand the tone of mingled exasperation and contempt in which it is now the fashion to speak of the Standard and its Editor.

No Conservative is found to read the Standard if he can read the Morning Post. You know what I think ot the Standard. I have often criticised it. I shall probably often criticise it again. But upon this question of Free Trade, Conservative as I am, I am one with the Standard.

It is simply standing by its oonviotione with the courage and judgment whioh has distinguished it all through the period of Mr. Mudford's management, and Conservatives, us the true Liberals that Lord BeaconBfield declared them to be, ought to be the first to recognise the right of a great public journal to express its own convictions with freedom and frankness. The Conservatives have never showed Buoh consideration for the Standard that the Standard is bound to Conservatives over much where the fid of a moment is brought into opposition with a great principle of publio policy, and the independent action of to-day will make the frank support of the Standard in future all the more valuable to the Conservative Party when the Press and the Party are in line. There is no gossip to-day. It is all orilieisro, and mostly political criticism.

The only exception I know to this statement is, as you may have heard, that the frizzes women have been wearing so long over their foreheads are doomed. All plain hair in future The temples of the fsrehead are to be seen. I nm glad of it. The girls with low foreheads and sunken temples do not like the change at -all. It is odious," But those who have only object to the intermediate period which is required to let their hair grow, Paws, September 12, 1881.

We arc sick of fho rain, for it raineth every day sur feited with speeches fiom Gambetta, and posiiively plague with assurances of consis'ency from newly elected deputies Threatened to be burmd up in July, we are now menaced to disappear in a deluge. The continued rain ha-i enabled the visitor to Gcnov-i, to sec round towers of other days in the wave beneath him shining it is said to bo good for the grapes, as it assists their swelling but many people are of opinion wine generally contains enough of water already. "We haw two eunnnerB per annum, and are in a fair way to have a duplicate of St. Swithin. Gambetta cannot bo less fatigued stumping, than aro those compelled to read him this superfluity of oratory is the consequence of the Bcllevillists declining to listen to him a refusal that has made Gambetta next to a Tory.

All his ideas are excellent, his modus operandi unquestionable but bow can lie work them out 'i All ihe question is fliero For the first time ho has touched, iu passing, on Free Trade, but very rapidly, as fearing to treat too long a marlo. The difficulties of Gambetta's position do not spring from his arch personal and political enemies, tho red hot radicals, eliU less, from the devices of unforgiving monarchal and natural opponents the difficulties come from tho uncertainty of his boiiis; able to secure the requ'sile addition to his followers, from the partisans of tho Grevy programme, and nothing is less sure, because Gambetta's revise 1 and corrected credo, now differs in nothing from that programme, and tho Grevyists being in power, and considering themselves just as good as tho Gambottis do not see why thoy ought, to retire. Gambetta must find a majority, relatively small, but unifed determined to stand by him with a Swiss zeal but not that "true Swiss zeal which fights on every sido Deputies will promiso to join his majority tho better to voto with tho minority, as in tho old' Chamber, and of which, by all accounts, the'new is but a reflection. The uutry displays not tho slightest impatience for tho imine iato carrying out of the "grand reforms;" it accepts the mot'o, "hasten slowly;" it possesses the kernel of nil reforms, a solidly founded Republic, on the national will and governed by the sovereign people. Indeed, already, many of the promises made on the hustings, havo gone to join the old moons.

To keep such together, M. u-odet proposes that all the promises made by the olerted, bo tabulated in a blue book, and placed to the credit of the maker. Naturally the new deputies deBi're that Barodet was in the deep bosom of the oeean buried. As M. Brisson will bo the now President of the Chamber, tho chances are, that Gambetta will bo relegated to the leader-hip of his own party that we will jog on with make shift Cabinets that being used up in a secondary position.

Gambetta would be destined to seo his ambition balked for the Grevy succession, either by the latter being elected for a second term, or replaced by Freycinet or an oulsder. All this would be base ingratitude towards Gambetta, who won victory for tho Republic and re-established the fortune of his country. But it is French, and he knows tha' eaton bread is soon forgotten especi ally by his fellow-citizens. Iu politics there are no bowels of compassion. Pilgrims at the sea-side write that the rain there is not the same as at Paris at the latter it is animated, civilised, while elsewhere it falls upon nobodies with a repulsive monotony.

Preaident GarBild has been removed from the Whits House to Longbranoh, a favourite coast watering place, south of New York, He bore the long journey well, and haa improved by the change. The number of medical attendants has, at his request, been reduc-d. From inquiries made on Sunday ia thoroughly rel able quarters regarding the affecn'on of the President's lungs, to which effjot reports have recently been revived, it appears that on examination some weeks ago there was found t) be a noticeable flatness or indication of irregularity of one of the lungs but this circumstance was then, and is still, attributed toother causes than those connected with the blood. What these causes are suppessd to be haa nit isitively transpired, but it may justly ba that no great anxiety exists at present regarding the probability of the President' lung eventually becoraiog affcted, while at the same time it would be utterly impossible to predict what the future will develop.

Mr. Blaine telegraphs to the 'American Ambassador in London that President Garfield haa had an inoreise of fever. His other sympioma were not reassuring, and his general condition give rise to anxiety. Oa Monday, how-over, there was some improvement. when going from Philadelphia with a cargu of naptha, the shin was struck bv a flash of lightning and blown up.

There were 32 boys at this establishment on the day of in-spiotion. A Braall and valuable addition to the accommodation bad been made.

The talk is all of Peers and Protection to-day. You hear nothing else. Purhapa it is pleasant when we hear of nothing but mercantile fractures of duty on oorn of sprouting wheat of Bradford manufactures, To think that, thong-h robbed of all coarse manufactures. We still have our fine manufacture of Pears and if it be I shall raise no objection. I cannot say that the topics are to my taste.

But it is better to have these than none at all, and that, it seems, is our only ehoice. I hardly know where, without this Fair Trade stin ws should have been this year for there is a limit to the speculation you can devtlope out of Deans, Canons, and Peers. The British Association came to the rescue of the newspapers for a few dayB, and, if you come across the London papers, you will find some very interesting Leaders about Bats interesting in a sense which the Editors themselves, I opine, never dreamed of but evon the British Association and the French Elections exhaust themselves in time, and it was therefore a masterstroke of genius on the part of Jemmy Lowtber to start that controversy about Fair Trade-There will be no end to it. It is a perennial topio. You see its first result the conference at the Westminster Palace Hotel, and I bear that there is another in prospect.

It is a pity that, with the Lincolnshire and Durham Elections over, we cannot have another or two in the manufacturing Boroughs of the North to find out how far this heresy in trade, as it is called, extends, and what the country really thinks of Gladstone and his works. The Counties have not been taken in by the abolition of the Malt Tax, by the abolition of (Jround Uume, or by the promise to abolish the Land Laws. Have the Boroughs? I do not believe that they have. But I wiBh the question could be put to the proof. There is the Berwick Election, of course.

That may show us something. But Berwick is notoriously one of the most capricious of constituencies as capricious, perhaps as corrupt, as or Bridgwater, or the Duke of Somerset': pet Borough in the old days. A contest at Oxford might have been useful, and the instant Chitty's apoointmeut was announced a good many Tories jumped to the conclusion that we were in for another Klection. But the Ministers have been too sharp for us. Oxford is one of the scheduled constituencies.

The Speaker cannot issue the writ for it till Parliament meets ag'iin, and thus one of the chief cities of the Umpire, partially disfranchised for not reelecting Sir William Harcmirt upon his appointment to tho Home (Mliee, is now still further punished by losing the only 11.1'. it did possess Practically, of course, it is not a matter of much consequence. The House of Commons is not in Session, and Mr. Chilly was not personally a representative that Oxford cared two pins about. But it is a snub to take its two members from it, and that, I expect, is why it is done.

The Home Secretary has not taken his rejec tion at all pleasantly. It was no joke to him to find himself the instant he was in the Home Office out of the House of Commons, and compelled to accept a seat for Derby from Plimsoll and his Eiizi. But this is not the way to conciliate Oxford, Sir William, and it is not, in my opiniorj, over-magnanimous to return snub for snub. I have not a word to say against Mr, Chitty's appointment itself. It is a very good one.

Perhaps, how Lord Cairns went out of his way to appoint Liberal lawyers over the heads of his own friends, able and distinguished men as many of them were, 1 might take exception to it as an appointment which is quite as much legat as political. But I never expected to see a Liberal Premier returning Lord. Cairns' generosity, and if appointments of this kind are to be made upon strict party lines, I do not know that Lord Cairns could have made a better selection than Mr. Chitty. The vacancy arises through the transfer of the Master of the Uolls to the Court of Appeal, and Chitty was the Leader of the Bar in the Kolls Court.

Sir George Jessel takes his title with him into the Court of Appeal, and will, I suppose, retain it. But Chitty is practically Master of the Rolls, and ought, of course, to have the title. He has for some years had the largest practice in the Kolls Court, making, it is said, 15,000 a year, and he hesitated, I hear, for some time, to give up his practice for the 6ake of a seat on the Bench and 5,000 a year. But pride triumphed at last. It is not pleasant, even if you are making 15,000 a year at the Bar, to be practising before one of your own juniors upon the Bench, and the Bar, of course, expects its Leader to take a Judgeship when he has made his fortune, and Chitty has yiven way.

He iB an ublo man in every way a good lawyer, a good advocate, a first-rate rower, a good shot, and one of the beat tennis players I have seen handling a racket. You recollect how he rowed stroke with the Oxford crew in 1852, one of the best crews that Oxford ever sent up to Putney, and since then he has always been the chief figure in the umpire's boat. Yes, and he is a first-rato cricketer. He played with the University Eleven at Lords, and I have heard stories cf his feats of walking ot such a kind that you need not be surprised if one of these days, when he goes circuit, you hear of his walking from Winchester to Exeter or from Exeter to Bodmin. He has made no mark at all in the House of Commons.

I do not believe he has opened his lips all through the Session the best service, perhaps, that he could do the and with Law Reform, Bankruptcy Reform, and the rest all postponed, with Attorney and Solicitor-Generals fixtures, I am not surprised that he gives up his reversion to the Woolsack for the Rolls, especially with the prospect of an Election before long, the loss of his seat, and a long exclusion from office. That is all the talk to-day. I do not meet a single soul who expects to see Gladstone go through next Session. The Liberal majority is practically gone. There is not a Liberal in St.

Stephen's who is not trembling for his seat. Scores of them onlyeotin by the skin of their teeth. Scores of them'owed their seats to the Irish vote. Many more slipped in because, with bud trade and bad seasons, Gladstone was insisting that we had nothing to do but to turn out the Tories and put in the Radicals to change our luck in an instant. You know the result.

Things are worse than ever, and people who voted red eighteen months ago upon the chance of what the Liberals might do are to-day finding out that they were completely humbugged. Hence the reaotion. The Liberals cannot poll their men anywhere, and in many places those who voted Liberal at the General Election are to-day voting Tory. This is the explanation of the Fair Trade movement. It is the revolt of the residuum.

There iB a terrible, not tempest, but hurricane of indignation raging, against railway cmpanies in France, and the P.iris and Lyons, in particular, that has had eight accidents on its lines within a week which is excessive even for the silly season. Its last was tho Charenton smash, where un to the present eighteen deaths are to be recorded and thirty-two mortally wounded it is feared. There are more railway accidents in France than in any other country, despite their being better hushed up. It is not too much to say, tho real history of casualties iB never known, because there are no open public inquiries Perhaos as a journal observes, the muliiplicity of smashes may account for the relatively stationary oharaoter of the population of France. The courts never assess heavy damages against responsible sinning dircto hence, why tho latter represent lines in such a deplorablo working condition their principle of expenditure appears to be sufficient for a day.

In the horrible smash which has just occurred, the Commissary of Police has found that the signals on the important lino in question did not work, were old, in the charge of boys, who were cheip to employ and never growled at long work trains stopped where they had no right to pull-up the cause of the recent accident and ran through stations where they ought to stop neither slow nor fast trains wero punctual.

I did so at the last Election. I voted for a eouple of Liberal candidates. But I made a mistake. I shall not do so again.

I shall vote in future for the man who will butter the bread for my children and give me a crust for myself. At present we have neither." And that is the story all round. It is all very well in the face of this to quote statistics of pauperism to flourish the Board of Trade returns in their faces to call them idiots, fools, knaves, and what not, as Bright and most of the Radical newspapers are doing. The men may be all that. Bright ought to know his friends better than you or I.

But, idiots as they are, they have votes, they have lost all faith in Free Trade, and everywhere, all over the country, they are insisting upon the superior necessity for Free Trade, to give the English working man and the English manufacturer a chance. You may argue them down. You may prove that they know nothing of Political Economy that all their ideas about Imports and Exports are wrong but if Free Trade does not butter their parsnips you might as well talk to cromlechs as open your mouth in a Conference like that at the Westminster Palace Hotel. Yon and I seem to take slightly different views of this Fair Trade movement. It is the same here.

The Morning Post is ull for Fair Trade. The Standard is all for Free Trade. The terms ought, of course, to be unchangeable. Free Trade ought to be Fuir Trade. But I cannot bring mysolf to believe that any good is to be done to manufactures or agrioalture by areturn to Protection.

Protection may raise the price of corn a little, and put a few shillings into the pocket of the Norfolk farmer, if he can keep it in his pooket when it is there. But about the grazing districts How about the men who are feeding oattlo upon maize One of the Liberals at the Westminster Palace Hotel proposed to put 5-t. a quarter on wheat and if apon wheat, of course upon maize. Another proposes to tax the raw materials of the mamufactures if Amerioa, for instance, does not throw open her ports to us. But how will that improve our manufacturing industries or raise the workmen's wages The Editor of the Morning Post, I suppoee, sees his way through the difficulty, or he would not be working this movement as he is.

Bat I cannot say that I do, and I know a good many more people who do not. Lord Jersey does not. Mr. DnoUham, the tenant farmers' M.P. for Hereford, does not.

But Mr. T. O. Baring, one of the members for South Eiaex, does, and Mr. Baring is one of the heat men of business in the City of London.

The Standard is very perverse, mistaking caprice very often for independence bat upon this question of fee Trade the Standard is, I think, a good deal wiaer its day and generation than the Morning Post.
