Public Opinion. The New Reform Bill Occu...
infallibly gone for ever , we have ventured to point out a few things which landlords ought to do , and if they do which , they will never want tenants ; and we are confident that in many cases they may obtain the same rent as they do now , and in others they may easily obtain increased rents . ' " Tithes and rates and taxes must be spoken of by themselves , and these we must defer to another opportunity . To recapitulate , however : —1 . The system of entail ought to be abolished . 2 . There ought to bean Encumbered Estate Court . 3 . Landlords when they let a farm , must abandon the game on the farm to the tenant . 4 . Land must be let on improved tenure . " The Coventry Herald predicts some happy consequences which will follow the withdrawal of Protection : —
" The fact is , the farmers and their friends , finding it impossible to force back the whole spirit and tendency of the age , will see if they cannot sail into the port of prosperity by floating with the tide . We shall have them Financial and Political Reformers—the promoters of improvements in machinery—Church Reformers , Poor-law Reformeis—all because their interests are no longer protected , but placed on a level with those of the rest of the community . Those who sail in the same vessel are all equally interested in haying it trimmed and steered with care , economy , and ability . ' " The New Reformation" is one of the subjects of the Nation—the reformation of hunger .
" We are not the hirelings of sacerdotal authority ; we write for no diocese—we think by no man's grace—but as Catholics , we would rather see our old island , with all its relics of sanctity and learning , buried beneath the ocean , than believe than our people are the base wretches whom the Times pictures . No , no . God speed education ! God speed freedom of opinion for all ! But if these gifts can only reach us from the hands that supply purchase-money for apostacy , if they are to be the concomitants of the Achill Reformation , we refuse them . We will not take the " daily bread" for which we pray to God , if it is mixed with , arsenic and henbane . "
The Dundee Advertiser has of late contained some intelligent , but cautious articles on Association , in the way of comments on the progress of associative labour in the United States . At all points we see the question of cooperation is-becoming the question of the day .

" Weak Int His Intellects." Catherine Sa...
WEAK INT HIS INTELLECTS . " Catherine Samson , describing hrrsc-lf as an unfortunate youii" f ^ irl , was placed at the bar before Alderman Sir R . W . Carden , on Tuesday , charged with stealing a fjold watch , value £ 10 , from the person of Mr . James Malkie , of Cork . Mr . Malkie said , I was walking down Chancery-lane last night , between eleven and twelve o ' clock , when I met the prisoner , and I lost my watch . Sir It . W . Garden : And . what do you charge the prisoner with ? Mr . Malkie : Why , Sir , with taking my watch . Sir It . W . Carden : Did you see her take it ? Mr . Malkie : No , Sir ; but 1 know she is the person that took it .
. Sir K . W . Carden : Did she speak to you ? Mr . Malkie : Well , Sir , perhaps 1 had a little drop in my head , for i do not recollect what ahe said to me . ( Laughter . ) Sir It . VV . Carden : How do you know she took your watch ? Mr . Malkie : I could nut swear to it . I know the chain was round my neck , and the swivel gave way . Sir It . \ V . . irdcn : Did you feel any jerk ? Mr . M .-ilkie : Why , tit' course , 1 must have felt it .
Sir it . W . Carden : That will not do ; did you feel a jerk ? Mr . Miilkic : Certainly ; but I don ' t remember it . ( Laughter . ) Sir It . W . Carden : Did you speak to the girl ? Mr . Malkie : I believe . 1 did . Sir It . W . Cardeu : You said that perhaps you had a little in your head pray what had you In en drinking ? Mr . Malkie : Some oi / sters ( ' / n : at laughter ) < util some ale . Sir . Sir It . W . Cuden : llow much ale ?
Mr . Malkic : 1 dou t know the name of it , Sir . ( Licur / hter . ) Sir it . Cardcn : I did not . ask you lor the name . Did the prisoner drink with you : Mr . Malkie : I am not sure ; but . nh
virtit < ' < l before that ? Mr . Malkie : 1 really raii't tell . ( Laughter . ) 1 had been all about town . . Sir It . \ V . Canlen : Then you do not know anything of ( he a / lair at all Z Mr . Malkie : I < io lint , Sir . Sir It . W . Canlen : Nor the piisoner ? Mr . Malkie : No , Mir . . Hut I know the girl at . the bur . ( Laut / hter ) . Catherine Samson : Did you not- tell the injector at tin ; htation that you had n < ver seen me be / ore . Air . Malkie : I did say no . Sir It . W . Carden : Then what do you mean by
swearing here that you know her ? . .. . ; Mr . Mulkie : No more I < io know the girl ; that in , 1 knew her then , ( dreat Unujltter . ) Sir . It . W . Carden : You appear to recollect nothing of whui haH trannnimtl . 1 ' rny , aro you Hober now ? Mr . Mulkie : 1 believe 1 am .
Sir It . W . Carden : I suppose you are not sure of that , are you ? Mr . Malkie : No , Sir . ( Roars of Laughter . ) Sir . R . W . Carden : Have you recovered your -watch ? Mr . Malkie : No , Sir . I wish I had ; I wouldn't be here . Sir-It . W . Carden : And now tell me what you are by trade . Mr . Malkie : Nothing , Sir . ( Laughter . ) Sir R . W . Carden : What are you , then ?
Mr . Malkie : I am a gentleman , living on my means . Sir It . W . Carden : Then you ought to know better . The officer said that he had found the handle of the watch near the spot indicated by Mr . Malkie , who was so intoxicated that he was unable to give any information as to the person who had stolen his watch . He apprehended Samson merely on suspicion . He had made inquiries , and found that Malkie had been drinking at Pearson ' s , in Cursitor-street ; but the landlady positively declared Samson was not with him at all in her house .
Sir It . W . Carden : There is no evidence against the girl , and I must therefore discharge her . Mr . Malkie : Very well , Sir . I have no objection . ( Laughter . ) Sir R . W . Carden : And you will loose your watch . Mr . Malkie : I suppose so . Sir . R . W . Carden : You see , Mr . Malkie , this is all the effects of getting drunk . Mr . Malkie : I admit it is very improper . Sir R . W . Carden : It certainly is . However , the loss of your watch is a good penalty for your indiscretion , and I hope it will be a lesson to you , that when you stray again from home you will not forget that you are a gentleman of independent property , and not get drunk . ( Laughter . ) Samson was then discharged , and Malkie was seen inquiring most anxiously for the reporters , as he was afraid his friends in Cork would hear of him through their means .
Miscellaneous. Queen Victoria Returned F...
MISCELLANEOUS . Queen Victoria returned from the North , where she had caused so much rejoicing among the trading aristocracy and merchant princes of Liverpool and Manchester , on Saturday . The festivities at the latter city were rounded off by an illumination of great splendour . True to the traditions and characteristics of all trading aristocracies , Manchester displayed an exuberant enthusiasm , and splendid pageantry , as her manifestatioa of loyalty . The Queen ' s passsage to Watford was interrupted by an inchoate accident . The engine was obliged to be changed at Wolverton ! However , she safely reached Watford , Mr . M'Connell driving at tremendous speed , and went thence in her carriage to Windsor Castle . On Monday , she came up to town , to take a last look at " Prince Albert's favourite child , " as General Wemyss termed the Exhibition .

Mr. Nathaniel Henry Died At Floyd Court-...
Mr . Nathaniel Henry died at Floyd Court-house , Virginia , on the 6 th instant , at the age of sixty years . He was a son of the great orator , Patrick Henry . Alexis de St . Priest , member of the French Academy , died at Moscow , on the 29 th of September . A number of our literary men held a meeting on Wednesday , the 24 th instant , says the New York Tribune , in the Library-rooms , City-hall , for the purpose of adopting measures to pay proper regard to the memory of the late J . Fennimore Cooper . Rufus W . Griswold called the meeting to order and stated the object of it . It had been intended to make a more public demonstration of a meeting ; but many gentlemen were necessarily absent , Bishop Doane , J . K . Paulding , Henry C . Carey , William C . Bryant , George Bancroft and others were
out of town . Consequently he presumed that it would be advisable that this should be a merely preliminary organization , for the purpose of devising means to make a demonstration in which all literary gentlemen in this and other cities might participate . Judge Duer then nominated Washington Irving for President ; Fitz-Greene Halleck and Rufus W . Griswold were chosen Secretaries . George W . Hunt then moved that a Committee of Five be appointed to report , at a future meeting , a plan of proceedings to render fitting honour to the memory of Mr . Cooper . The Chair appointed as such Committee , Judge Duer , Fitz-Greene Halleck , Richard Kimball , George Bancroft , and ; Dr . Francis . Mr . Blunt moved that the President be added as Chairman of the Committee . It was then moved that the meeting adjourn , to be called together by the Committee .

At Mayence on the 10 th instant , the Pious Union or league for promoting the Roman Catholic interests in Germany , held in a public saloon a great meeting at which the Cardinal-Bishop of Cologne and other heads of the Church presided . The galleries were densely crowded with ladies . Thecockof a gaspipe having been accidentally too much opened , the flame blazed up a little , and caused some nervous person to cry " fire , when a scene of indescribable confusion ensued , and six ladies were crushed to death in the rush made to escape down the narrow stairs , three others being dangerously hurt . The crowd of anxious relatives who came to the spot when the alarm spread through the town was so great , that two companies of military were obliged to be sent for in order to clear a passage for bearing away the
corpses and the wounded sufferers . On Monday evening , other two ladies of the short robe came publicly forward to advocate woman ' s rights aim lilooincrium . The Waterloo-room , Edinburgh , wa . s filled on the occasion ; and though the male sex preponderated amongst the assemblage , there were also a considerable number of young ladies present . After the manifestation of some impatience in the gallery , the Bloomers appeared . The elder of the two was a Mrs . Wilson ol alleged celebrity in the cause , considerably past tlie bloomerism of youth , und with neither grace of figure nor elegance of manner to assist her in tho arduous task ol expounding the adv / intagcw of the new costume . rm - variation
