Mr Lowe delivered a switch at Gloucester, in the course of which he said : The first thing we have announced is the old worn-out,_ct'y that has been often used fora very different purpose- justicp to Ireland (loud cheers)-justice in recog- nizing. in the fullest and most ex.ended sense, the absolute equality of all her Majesty s subjects in Ireland, of whatever religious persuasion they may be; justice in recognizing that the State, which is the trustee of large public property now devoted to tile purpose of the Church of England, is bound to employ that property equally for the use ofsll denominations of her He- jesty's subjects (cheers). We have announced our intention to,pr tpose to parliament to disen- Vdow and dist.-stablish the Church of Ireland. 1 trust we shall not go back in the way from either of 'hoge propositions. Having freed, the Church from its connection with the Statef we shall leave it to determine, in the freest manner possible, its own future destinies. I do believe there never was a Ministry in this country more earnestly desirous of preserving peace, a Minis'ry which is not only desirous of preserving it, but willing to take and adhere to the only means and policy by which peace ca-t be preserved. The third subject which the Government has at heart, is the question of economy Ccheets). My friends the Secretary for War and the First Lord of the Admiralty are diligently endeavour- ing to cut down whatever is superuous in es- tabtishtnents over which they preside, but I am _snte it is not the wish of the Government any more than it would be necessary to star the ef- ciency of the service. The principle on which they are going-ttnd which has my cordial ap- prohatiun-ifl may describe it in one word, is that of concentration ; that efdrawing our forces v together to that one point where they will be rendtrcd most availablevfor the defence of the country, instead of being scattered and rendeted useless by being distributed all over the world. With regard to the navy, the principle on which we propose to net is to concentrate the expense upon fewer dockyards, and save the expense which would be occasioned by keeping up smal- ler and less etcient establishments. Perhaps you expect that I should say a few words about my own department (cheers). Gentlemen, the late Hrcobbett said that for 500 a year he was willing to undertake the task of Prime Minister of England (laughter) ;` but every man thinks he can be Chancellor of the Exchequer without any salary at all (laughter). I have been endeav- ouring to gain instruction in the duties of my office from the numerous gentlemen who favour me with their correspondence every morning, -and. the result ot that correspondence is very diferent from what I think any of you would expect. You may suppose that 1 would be over- whelmed wlth applications for the removal of taxes. Not at all; that is the last view which is taken. The view of the British public is that it is the whole duty and business of the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer to devise the imposition of new taxes. for almost aver-v letter that :. ... ......... .. luv aasauascllicr tu unvtso use imposition ew taxes, almost every letter that in re- ceived by him is, not a request for n repeal-of old taxes, but a suggestion for the imposition of new taxes (laughter). If a child burns its lin- ger with a lueiter match its father at once writes a letter to the Ohsncellor of tl1o_Exchequer, and suggests that an adhesive stamp should be ap- plied to lucifer matizhes (laughter). If a gentle- man on whose birth Venus and the Graces have not happily smiled dude in a photograph his features depicted in a manner. more truthful than attering, he writes oil to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and suggests that an adhesive stamp should he applied to photographs (laugh- ter). lfl. man hss_a neighbour who plays upon the pianoferte when.ho wishes to go to sleep he suggests a heavy duty upon_ piauofortes, com- mending it with the remark that the duty will be easily collected because they make such a row (laughter and cheers). Now, gentlemen, my business is to he guided by public opinion, but] must frankly tellzyoa that this opinion does not agree with mine. Every man he! his been ideal of whet he would like to do, but my been ideal of a happy Chancellor of the Exche- qn- r is a man who idocs not like to impose new lulu, but to take tin old ones (cheers). There is a small hill in the matter of Abyssinia which will prevent me from gratifying these philanthro- pic aspirations with which I have been endeav- ouring to gain credit with you.

The notion nrooe out of the Jamaica inlnrrection, end In brought h llr Phillip: ngcinlt Governor Eyre for noun t and false itnprllontnent. The defendant by hi: plec justied the conrue taken upon the authori- ty of the-Act of Indemnity penned by the local Leglelntnre. To this plea the plnlnti demurred upon the ground that In Act of Indemnity, penned by n local Leglnlntnre, could not deprive the plnlntitf of the redreu nllowedtbltn in the court: of NI own country for the tortioue not of n fellow eubjeet done nbrond, end then the plain. tlfurtber replied that the governor of mforeigu settlement of the Crown had no authority to ascent to 3 measure of indemnity pnued in re- lation to conduct of his own. To lhil replica- tion the defendant In turn demnrred. Hie lord- ship, who reed the judgment of the court, said that upon both demurrer! their conclusion was that the defendnnt was entitled to judgment. The plaiuti admitted the full power of the le- maicl. Legislature to pose an Act of the Legion- tnre indemniiying the authorities of the island for my note bone de done under it reneonnhle belief of their necessity for` the suppression oi the rebellion, but he denied the extension of the privilege beyond the limits of the island.

The conclusion, however, of the court won that the same principle must be held to apply in both csses,nnd that was, that where the right of action was taken away by the local Legislature before action brought, I 0 action was Inlintainal-l-:5 in this country. As to the objec- tion embodied in the plnin-.i"s replication that. the governor of as colony is without authority to assent to Acts of the Legislature in which he is personal`; interested, such a. convention was entirely untenable. AI reasonably might it be cont-nded lhl the Sovereign herself was de- bstred from giving the Royal assent to an Act of Parliament conferring uptn her Majesty cer- tnin rights sud privileges.

The United States Congress is now manifesting an anxiety to eect a reduction of'e1pendi- ture by cutting down, the strength of the regular army. The English government, acting up to the requirements of the British Parliamentary sym, is prepared to submit a scheme to Parliament; but Congress has the originating and fashioning-of the bill entirely in its own hands, and a great diver- sity of opinion as to the particular inode in which reductions shall be *e'ected, and the extent to which they should reach, appears to be standing in the way of the ready acceptance of a practical measure. The nancial dienlties of the United States are snciently pressing to induce very serious ebrts to be made, one would think, to efect p a reduction of expenditure in so feasible a direction as thatof the naval and military ; eshbiishments. Immediately after the war it was deemed necessary to keep up a large standing army for the purpose of preserving order and authority in the Southern States, _ but such necessity has now almost altogether passed away. Then the national vanity held to be gratied by sending war ships` on ea- hihition voyages ` to the dierent parts of Europe in the aim of increasing the prestige of American power, but this excuse can avail no longer ; and Congress might safely, if it chose, cut down the naval establishment to the simple wants of American commerce in distant seas. The army, no doubt, will be greatly reduced and the `expenses of its __ organisation`lessened.. As tothe naval re- (Motions, the incomingsdministration may he expected to give the key note, and will be guided no doubt by an appreciation of thslnsncial condition and prospects of the Republic. - O thodisrogard of mm tixaus` shown by Great `tag that to qxlgiqil; 0 subject would lie Igihd Suntan. as an "of the right of fo the ptotecfion of the imomily.` -. .5 _'m... ..:a.- 4.: ma. ` # LIV J-fiunv W-v.i`I'|g been made fo f M iii! iike.-Ti ths it'Ii_I -no-cu. - by Goren!

MLAALA4 _,__ -L9_-_ 4-, Tasouon FRIIGHTI urn mats Rossaay.-We have had occasitn to notice the turning out of "through freight cats" from the Ontario Engine Shop here, and in connection with through freight~tna.y mention certain risks such freight runs in reaching its. destination. The cars are locked with non-burglar proof locks, and what locks now-a-days are burglar proof? A curi- ously inclined person possesses himself of a con- ductofs key, by lair means or foul, and at some wooding or watering station, during a dark and stormy night, qitietly opens one of these cars nnd gets in. As soon as the tra n gets under motion, a few of the choicest bales and packages are tumbled out and immediately taken care of by accomplices, while at the next stopping place he as quietly gets out and re-locks the door. ` This is perhaps done within a hundred miles of the starting place, and unless every car is exa- mined and the fteight checked all` by the way- bill every few hours, it will be next to impossible, when the car arrives at its destination. ve, eight, or ten hundred miles, to say on which road or part of theroulerthe robbery was committed, and .it is, therelore, the more diicult of detection, Leaden or other clasps are no protection, for robbers can replace them. We have said this much to preface anotice of a padlock which was shown to us the other day,- invented by an American, designed tolmeet this _t_iiiculty. It is a combination lock, capable of 10,000 modi- cations, and to unlock it only two gures are required to be remembered, and if these be not known, or" if forgotten, a person might try i, l0,000 times before he opened It. And he must knowhow to open the lock even if he have the proper numbers. The only way for robbers to get into the car isto break of the lock or break open the door, in either of which cases the dis- covery would be made within a aniciently short distance of the place of the burglary to enable _. the thieves to be the more readily detected. We are assured that the lock can be made for very little more than the coat of odinary car locks. It is simple, and not liable to get out of order, and may be made ol the ordinary, size. A pat- ent has been applied for at Washington, and it will very probably be patented also here and in other countries. It baa been invented expressly to meet the dicnlty stated above, and would seem calculated to meet the case admirably, and if it does, the inventor_dt=-serves to make his l'or_ tune out of it, as well as to receive the thanks of l: railroad freighters.
