      Mr . Cardwell , on account of the prodigies * of reduction and dismissal which he has effected in the army , is to be known for the future as Mr . Dis-Cardwell .

      All Praise To Lord Derby For His Excelle...

      All praise to Lord Derby for his excellent letter to his Irish Tenants , in which he gently reminds them that to conceal facts which could assist in the discovery of a murder is a crime . He also hints that if he can discover any of his tenants who have been guilty of this crime , he will evict them . It is a lamentable fact that connivance at murder should be so important a part of the Irish faith that the law is quite powerless to check it . But so it is ; and until every person of influence resolutely sets his face against this spurious notion of honour which makes a virtue of a crime , so long will it be nearly impossible to detect , much less to arrest any murderer in Ireland .

      Charles Reade Has Had His Revenge On The...

      Charles Reade has had his revenge on the American nation ; vicariously at least . Some American magazine had fallen foul of that gentleman ' s mild and inoffensive novel , Griffith Gattnt , in a succession of vicious attacks . Mr . Reade of course has brought his action for libel , and has absolutely obtained permission from the Court to allow Mr . George Vandenhoff to read the whole of the novel through in Court . Think of the sufferings of the wretched judge and jury ! Could not some such mode of punishment ( the instrument must be a little more above suspicion ) be tried on the Judge and Jury Club of Leicester Square ? A volume of Blair ' s Sermons , for instance , recited by—let us see—Mr . Phelps , from beginning to end , might not be an ineffective torture for such degraded creatures .

      stolen " exhibited in the motion , brought forward , last week in the House of Commons , on the state of Hammersmith Br " idge . It is so very unusual in this country to find any such step taken till after a terrible catastrophe has happened that Mr . Bruce ' s answer , and promise of a proper inspection of the bridge , cause'd us to rejoice greatly . But here we are , close to the day of the race , and nothing appears to have come of this attempt at precaution . We confess that the sight of Hammersmith Bridge is quite enough to take away all one ' s plea * sure on that day ; and we only hope that a strong body of police will prevent people getting on the chains , and also that barriers will be erected to render impossible that sudden rush from one side to the other , which is the great source of danger .
