2 ‘2 union workhouses, or with friends, In Scotland there ‘Were 7,403 insane persons on the 14th of May, 1865, viz., 2,782 private, 4,642 pauper, and 29 criminal ; 4,300 of these were ‘lunatics’ proper, and 2,608 congeni tal idiots, In Ireland, at the end of the year 1866-57, there were 3,856 insane persons in confinement, against 3,683 in 1856, and 5,199 in 1855. There were 1,28) insane ee im umon workhouses in Ireland in the year 1856. receipts of the Irish asylums in 1856-57 amounted to £82,375, and the expenditure to £77,432. In 1841, the year in which Sir Robert Peel succeeded to the Premiership, the value of every description of stock beid by the farmers of Ireland was about twenty-one mil- tions, this including £300,000, as the value of the poultry held fat that date. “According io the return of the number of stock in Ireland for the present year, the total value would be about forty-one millions, or nearly twice the amount, The ar General's estimate makes the value only thirty four millions, but on the average of each class of stock he takes the figures set down ten years ago, when cattle were at least 30 per cent under the present market rates. It is evident that the new blood infused into the agricultural world by the operations of the En cumbered Estates Court las bad the happiest effects in arousing into more intense energy the local enterprise of ‘the Irish farming population. This one fact, that the live stock owned by Irish agriculturists is, at present, worth twice as much as that held before the advent of free trade, is, in itself, an exceedingly valnable testimony of tw sucess of Sir Robert Peel's far-secing legisiation, as applic w that country. i On the 1s. of October the new Copyhold act of England came into force, repealing, in a great measure, the law which has berewotore existed. The object of the act is to make further improvements for the commutation of mano rial rights, to fucilitate tlie cnfranchisement of copyhold lands, and to improve customary tenures. According to the sith section, the tenant or lord of copyhold land may compel its enfranchisemeut, and the lord o: tenant may compel the extinguishment of a claim to heriots, The law relating to copyholds passed in 1862 is cousiderably amended by the Copyhold act of 1858. An imperial decree, published by the Paris Moniteur, approving of the convention passed between the govern ment and the Credit Foucier Company for the advance by that establishment of 100,060,000 of franes for draining Purposes is much approved of by several of the Paris journals, as calculated to prove bighly ad vantageous to agriculture. As the subject is one of great Importance, we extract from the Constitutionnel the following explanation of the system which is to be pu sued: —The administration has so facilitated the formali. ties required, that to effect a loan will not require, on the part of either great or small proprietors, steps which bring the most enterprising spirits to a dead stop, and which mere farmers would dare to veu ture on. Applications for a loan would be laid be fore a competent commission, an¢ forwarded, aft cursory examination, to the engineer of the pel department, or of that in which the drainage works to be exeented.

Mr. Schell, of course, supported regular nomi- nations; but unfortunately for a man of so much sense, he went to Walbridge’s 's quarters at the Astor House on the ht of the election, to r the news and to felicitate my firohe on the splendid triumph they had won. Undes ordinary circumstances It would have been more agree- able to ine to retire from the House at the close my present term, and devote myself exclusively to my pro- fession; but having deeme? it a matter of duty tomy native city and the democratic party to rid both of the atrocious government of Fe! rood, even in defiance of an apparent endorsement from Tammany Hall, it was only fair to give Wood and his miserable gong. of followers achance to get even. To do this IT was nd to present myself as a candidate before the people, and defy him to do his worst, Idid $0, He soon found allies. Dickinson came down to my district and made the Astor House bis. headquarters, devoting himself as assiduously to my de. feat as was consistent with occasional exertions against Corning in the Twelfth and Taylor in the Second districts, voth regular nomi ces of the party. Tucker, Secretary of State, ** pitebed in ; poor fellow—his gratitude, tke his pug nose, is Icceeenteany small, too small to be tangible. Thad voted for him in the State Convention with my colleagues—they did so, and one does not like to be unamiable; even if your friends make fools of them. selves, you must do 80 too, or else be called impracticable. I dad more—although seif respect forbids my recognizing Tucker in the street—I stumped the State for the ticket last year, upon which Tucker hada place. As if to see = “harmonious” Lcould make myself, T even accepted jon from Mr. Morton, the present Deputy Secretary of state (the gentieman who grinds the “organ,” the Daily News, for which Tucker plays monke; This mission was to carry a pocket full of “posters” for Tucker from Utica to Oswego, where I was going to make a speech for “Tucker and the constitution.”’ These “post stors”’ I faith- fully delivered to my friend De Wolf, as directed by Mr. Deputy Morton; and they were doubUess industriously used by those ‘republicats who did not lixe Clapp—their candidate, This same Mr. Deputy Secretary of State Morton, who is overseer, negotiator and i? for the Daily New:—organ “ot Dickinson, Sehell & Co.—could not find it consistent with bi his pocket, and the pockets of bis friends, Mr. Postmaster Paine, of Rochester, and Mr. Tucker, owners and contributors, to allow the News to support my election, unless the sum of $4,000 was raised aud paid to the coneorn by my friends. The opposition of that dirty paper has always beea 80 propitious to my fortunes and so congenial to my tastes, that I would have sold my horses if the sacrifice had been necessary, to secure and stimulate its hostility. ‘The mcans employed by the Dickinsion faction to defeat me will be comprehended by the specimens Thave given: but from the abundance of materials at my hand I will add two or three more facts. Tucker, order} y, offered a respectable citizen 0 ey, to get a relative pardoned out of the State prison, where he is confined for manslaughter, if Casey would desert the standard of his party, and join Tacker and the republicans in supporting Walbridge. Mr. Wood stated, falsely of course, at the First ward meeting, that among the things I did last December, to defeat him, was to get somebody or other pardoned from the Penitentiary to oppose him." This statement was not only untrue bat absurd, Noone, I believe, has as yet suspected me of being an idiot, and none but a simpleton would expect a man who bad ever been conten. to the Peniientiary te to 0p last t of the yore Wood. If the cells had been fall cember Wood's vote would not have been #0 large. Tucker recently applied to Mr. Jocabury, editor of the Catskill Recorder, to publish an attack upon me, and offered as vn inducement, to give to the Re Corder the fat job of printing the official State canvass, Th offer was declined, and the printing bas been given to a nelgbboring journal, more needy and less serapulous—the Democratic Herald, of Catskili—which yielded to the terms: of the Secretary of State. As if demented, on the day of the election Tucker presented himseif at a Fifth ward poll ond voted. His faraily reside in Albany, He represented the Twentieth ward in the last State Convention. He does not reside in the Fifth ward, and bad no right to vote there. My friends bave under consideration whether or vo they Will prosecute Mr. Tacker for illegal voti Walbridge also swore in his vote. He resides in Wash. ngion.

Alderman Apasts presented a resolution that the Street Commissioner employ a competent person to take charge of and regulate the electric ciocks in the public ouildings and offices. Adopted, MALL CARS ON THE HUDSON IVER RAILROAD, Aldermen Rexp and Owns, of the Railroad Conmitteo, reported in favor of sort cars on the Hudson River Rail” road, from Fifty-third street to Chambers street, on the same terms as the other city railroad companies, without any restrictions us to steam, the rail to be aT rail, and the fare to be five cents. Alderman Rexp moved the adoption of the report. Alderman Apams (then int the chair) remarked that there ‘was no majority report. ‘Tha poper was signed only by two mem!crs, and the Board could only entertain it as the views of those members, and not a majority report, as there wore five members on the committee. wwan Rep said he did not present it as a report, the views of himself and Alderman Owens, Alder- Boole having presented his views the meeting pre vious. Alderman McSrrnon moved table to be printed. Alderman Starr. urged its reference back to the com- mittee. Alderman Tvexsr thought there wes sutllcient matter before the Board for action, and hoped they would consider the subject. Alderman Booux opposed a reference back, remarking that it would be impossible to get Lic comaittee together ain. “@Alderman Reso waived the right of a report, but moved the adoption of the resolutions attached to the pa. per he bad presented. The members, he presumed, were all prepared to vote on the subject, and there was no ad- Vantage in adelay. The people fiving’ on the west side were constantly urging the placing of short cars on the road, and there was bo reason why their wishes should not Be complied with. Alderman TvckER presented a substitute, to the efleet that the arrangement should be only during the pleasure to lay the paper on the of the Common Council. He opposed Alderman Boole's report lated to render it impossible for the object sought carried out. After other motions, tho subst reterred to Committee on Railroarls.

He was in favcr of binding the company by the strongest restrictions, and of net giving them’ the power the Harlem Company have. He bad been, four years urging the necessity of a grooved rail in Centre street, but the Harlem Company had managed to avoid it. No matter what the time tables of the fudson River Railroad Company would be, there would be accidents, for steam and horse power could not be managed on the road with safety to passengers. If these objections were removed, the company bound by necessary restrictions for the protection of the city, and the company required to pay the city for the franchise, he would vote for the pro ject. There was no reason why the Common Council should, to the disadvantage of citizens generally, and pre erty owners in Hudson and other st comply with t residents of Eleventh avenue and other up towa streets, merely because the petitioners were enth ic on the subject. ‘Alderman McSrenon said that, in his opinion, it would be a most unfair act towai us the city to give the franchive away. The people petitioning were ready to see it given ‘on any terms, but there was no reason why the Common Council should give way to their views. He was willing they should have the accommodation; but first the pany must be bound to put down a groove to stop steam below Fifty-third street.
