      of mind ; and he has proved that he can use Jii a information . When the Government of India Bill was passed , the Mends of Ministers always said that th ^ legislation and aidmbiis ^ ratibn ^ thV India would be a , sup | deicdi ^ iit-tdf'the biliffiote important than the bill " itkelf , ^ d evident tlie conduct " of that supplement d ^ phded in a great degree upon the . selection of thechief administrat tors . The appointment otMp . Thomasonto ^ he Presidency of Madras , had fljkiwiL their

      eiispotfition ., and the appointinent of Iiord Elphinstoile to Bombay proves that their Selection of ^ the Madras President was not the exceptional case . So much forthe selection of instruments ; and now for Lord Elphinstone ' s construction of has own duty . He declares the duty of a G 6 vernpr of India is to give his attention especially to three things , — " naiiiely , first , the development of the resources of the country ; secondly , the sound , and practical secular education of the natives ; and ,

      thirdly , to advance , and promote , as opporfranir ties might offer , those natives who qualified themselves for the public service to situations of trust , '' If the natives gird themselves up , and help such a Governor , in giving them as much as they can get out of him , with an unbroken good will on both sides , we firmly believe that the Hindoo is on the high road to he a British citizen . 'We have , indeed , at home , some further evidence that sound opinion is making way , especially on the matter of education and practical

      sciences-Positivism . The address delivered oa the annual distribution of prizes , at Q , ueen ! s College , in Cork , is another evidence of this improvement . 'Sir Robert Kane states that some 150 voung men have , in each of the four years since the 6 ollege was founded , been trained in ^ entleinanly feeling , moral conduct and education ., sjiscially directed to fit them for scientifically promoting the industrial prosperity of their cotintry > IN " o fact can be more interesting . than , that of the suc cess of these colleges . We know how they were attacked , by the Inglisea , in Parliament ,. afi . " godless" institutions , the Orangemen . caug ht , up the crv % the M'Hales re-echoed it j . priests were

      forbidden to administer to the cure © f the youth , and the colleges were held up to public odium , as the practical provocatives of the famine and pestilence which ravaged Ireland . Nevertheless they have survived the . pestilence ; students have continued to attend * . priests' have ' . administered to . their youthful pharges , and , in the fourth year , after an . infancy , of unexampled difficulty , Sir Robert Kane declares the new institutions , to be fairly established as schools for a scientific and industrial training of Irish youth , in the higher branches of knowledge . The west of Ireland , therefore , " reflects the idea to which Prince Albert gave so marked an impulse in his memorable speech upon industrial science ' . /

      The strike in . the north . continues , at least so far as Preston is concerned , but there have been striking defections . Mont of the colliers of Wigaxi have gone in , and although they do no > t form , properly speaking , a part of tlic > cotton strike , they have materially supported the weavers of Wigan . One fact has come out , of considerable importance . Although the ]> ro ^ luotion ' of cotton goods has fallen off one-riiJcth , there lias been' no rise of price . Tins is a stateof things entirely opposed to that In the wool

      trade , where the , consumption of a comparatively expensive ) article ,, checked , by tho high prico ojf food and othor diillcultics , hm not . occaHiouedany < iorrcHj ) onding fall of prices , and the check operator in a partial and temporary manner on the bridkneHH of the tradd .

Th «^ is a greats $ i&aaiction between- » trianufactureT- and a landlord . The landlord holds a portion of the

      siirface of the earth to which all human beings are horn , and in permitting him to hold thHt property , the State usually recognises that he holds it in trust—every human being having a right to get at the soil in order 'to' ' mja ^ 'e a liveliKopd out of it . r Xhe manufacturer is . not a , t all in that position . , He has a certain quantity of money wMch is his own ; he opens a shop for goods or for work , and all who please may enter it Lor stay away ,, he having a perfect right morally and legally to fix his own terms . The true check upon any unfair ' -conduct in him would lie in a

      combmed agreement amongst the infen not to Accept terms injurious to their order . The master has . a right to do exactly as he pleases ; aiid the correlative right of the mqnis , tp combine ; but they must look to themselves and not to the master , and they cannot expect even the Home Secretary to coerce the master in . acquiescing ; nor is it likely that Lord Pabnerston will do so . But he may do another thing . It is generally expected that he will reply to the men ; . and his answer is anticipated with great interest from the clearness of his understanding , and , as an Italian would say , the ^ etdptured distin . ctiiess bf liis

Jias how gone over a greater variety of evidence , and while , the most industrious accuser has been able to establish some points of his charge , of a comparatively trivial kind , the general tendency of the evidence is . to establish the fact ; that total abolition . is not the . epeed of discreet citizens .

      The notions as to the particular details of reform vary almost with the number of the witnesses , but an idea common to most of the suggestions , is some kind of alliance between the municipality of the city and that . of the ot ^ r metropolitan distriqts , A . iauhicipal ,, con 8 iiitw , tioJQ , i ^ f or . oyr " Empirp City " , is , a grand idea ; , we only doubt whether ; oui" public men : are . up to it . .

      TI «? wftrbnth ( i Danube attracts the attention of all men arid quite absotbs 'inatters of less interest . We have throughout the week , received the most contradictory reports by the electric telegra ph' jiow informing us that the Turks werS- carrying everything before theni ^ n ow that they had been driven back across the Danube . Aswehave no means Of testing the accuracy of the reports , we state them as we find them , according tp the different degrees of their alleged' authenticity . , ^ Surveyiilg the TutHsh op ' eratibnsi vre find' that Oiuar Pasha sent bodies of troops across the Danube , at four or more points , notably , % tXalafat , Oltenitzai and Kalaraiehe probably at Hirsova ^ and tentatiye ly at GiurgeVo . ' ¦ Tlie troops in Lesser Wallachia passed almost without &iag a

      shot , aad all that we have heard of tlietti since that exploit is that their numbers have been augmented Urn to 24000 liven , aiid that they had -tBrown' forward their vanguard to the towu of Crajowa . This wotild enable them to operate upon the right wing of the Ijtussians , wliich must , cither liaye retTeated before foem , ^ lieir , J | nft of . retre . at trendrng neai-ly due east , or have , held ^ their position and ifouglit it out . We have heard nothing of a , battle , a ^ id must therefore conclude that the Bussians . | ell back upon iead quarters . The ' next object pf the , Turkish , plan was to capture Griurgevo , ' xatlier a strong pqstj . or fortress , opposite Hustchuck , the key of the direct road to Bucfiarest , aiid bravely defended by the Ilussians , It would seem that

      contests for this post have been going on . since the 1 st of the mbnth ; that the Turks have had some successes and . some reverses ; that , in fact , it is at Giurgeyo that the plan of the TTiirMsh cpmniander has failed , if it has failed At all Obviously it was necessary that he should take . the fort , and so operate conyergentlly uppn j ^ ucharesfc . More successful . at Oltenitza , the" Turks , stood a'three days ' , encounter with tke ] JuEsiang . . iPow'erfilly-covered by their batteries on itie right ; bank , they dashed across , repulsed three attacks of the Ru s sians , and settled the . last , action with , tho bayonet . ; Here they are renprted to have entrenched themselves . ' We know hp ^ ing certain of . the operations lower do ^ Ti the river . Now the success pf , the Turkish plan would depend upon the simultaneous advance of liver or

      at least four ,, bodies of . trjpqps . ; , and if , the corps atEalafat pressed "Ijaclc the fighjt wmg , while those at Oltenitza bore back the centre , and ' th © troops on the Lower . Danube operated on thei roadB . te adnig' to Gralatz ajidJBeininck , it is easy to understand a report pf ^ Wednesday , that the Turks had passed Sueh'arest , leaving it on firq in . thrco places , and the Jiiissiians were retreating , on Krpflstadjt , in Transylvania . 3 uj ; , lol thia . pretty ' story . , ofJho end pf the camfiaign is suddenly dissipated by the news that the TurksIliad been driven backfrpm Oltenitza upon and over the Jpanube , to escape the Jtussijajis , who enyolopcd them , with 45 , 000 men . To us this is inexplicable , unless it refer to ^ Giurgevo , and not to Oltenitza . Buteuch ia the "latest '
