      It Appears That The Best Part Of " Cork"...

      It appears that the best part of " Cork" has been sold to Fenian sympathisers in America . The expedient , it is to be supposed , has been resorted to in a hope of stopping up some of the Jars that have recently shaken the brotherhood .

      Lord Devon has had so much of the Narsty , at the Poor Law Office , that he has gone to Nice to recruit . We hope that he will bring back from the shores of the Mediterranean Herculean vigour to aid him in cleaning out the Augean Stable .

      The Publication Of The Telegraphic Despa...

      The publication of the telegraphic despatches which passed between the then Government of Italy and its subordinates ? during the invasion of the Papal States , is not calculated to rejoice the hearts of those who wish not only to admire but to respect Italy . Of the justice with which the present kingdom

      J . a' " —* of Italy may lay claim to the Papal territory we * will say nothing : the juster it is , the more surely will it be injured by such underhand devices and mean duplicity . Openly to have encouraged the invasion of the Papal States would have been an open violation of their solemn engagement , and by far less disgraceful

      than the hypocritical pretence of adhering to the September convention , while they were secretly robbing the public stores to support a revolution . Surely such conduct can hardly entitle any Government to the affection and obedience of its subjects , any more than it does to the respect of its allies , or to the mercy of its foes .

      Mothers There Were Used 1 Separated To B...

      mothers There were used 1 separated to be a good from deal their said children about by the slavery way . in When which a mother enters a workhouse , it seems her child is instantly taken away from her and given to some pauper nurse to take care of . At Wigan workhouse the available staff of nurses seems to have consisted of two idiots ( young ) , two paralysed

      old women , and one bedridden ditto . The result of this admirable arrangement has been that a child , who was given to one of the idiots aged seventeen , was instantly put by its nurse into a pail of boiling water and its skin then rubbed off with a rough towel . This tragedy was enacted in the presence of

      one of the paralytic old women , who tried in vain to save the child . This reads rather like a hideous legend of heathen mythology modernized , but it is a fact , and one which we commend to the attention of those dear kind gentlemen who have

      so often made Exeter Hall resound with denunciations of the cruelties of the slave trade , and who have such tender hearts for the , poor suffering negro . Half the energy and perseverance wasted in denouncing Mr . Eyre would procure such a reform in our workhouses as would make such inhuman scenes impos-. sible . . .
