SALE OF THE ESTERHAZY JEWELS The celebrated jewelled orders belonging to the late Prince Paul, of the great Esterhazy family, have recently been bought by Mr. Boore, a London dealer in curiosities and object+ of art,and are about to be re-sold under the hammer of Messrs. Christie and Manson on Friday next. These most splendid and valuable jewels, most of which are diamonds of rare "water " and large size, were exhibited to private view on Saturday in the Gallery of the Society of Female Artists, in Conduit-street, Re gent-street, where they will, we believe, remain on view till the day before the sale, under the condition of paying the ordinary entrance fee to the gallery where the pictures of the female artists of the society are exhibited. Such an arrangement was obviously necessary to protect so attractive an assemblage of costly genii from the pos sible chance of a grand attack by the swell mob, and, as it is, the proprietor will do well to entrust his treasures wholly to the police. I The jewels consist almost entirely of the different orders held by the late prince. There are five full-sized orders of the Golden Fleece and one miniature, with the Order of St. Andrew of Russia, which was given to the prince by the Czar at the last coronation, containiog about 700 brilliants, and the Star of the English Order of the Bath, given by George IV. at his coronation—the last a very magnificent etar of flaming rays. These Orders of the Gulden Fleece are generally formed by • large centre stone as aqua marine, oriental topaz, emerald, or one very I large brilliant, as in the one magnificent Order of the Fleece, which is considered to be matchless is the splen dour and value of the stones, in which the centre erns ' ment consists of no less than 77 liege stones of the choicest purity; and the Fleece itself, which is commonly of gold, composed of 108 coloured brilliant. set in gold. The catalogue shows us that all these orders are to be divided into convenient lots of the separate parts, and probably few purchasers will be disposed to retain the jewels in their present form. A large aigrette or plume is divided into 18 lots, most of them feathers encrusted with diamonds, one of which has 203 brilliants, another 412, another 496, and the largest 533. Some of them are made to bend and tremble with the movement of the wearer, and thus give the most splendid effects of flashing and colour. The emeralds are particularly fine in this orna ment, the largest measures nearly threequarters of an inch square, and in colour is of the richest and deepest green. The sword, scabbard, belt, with deoorstiona of the swonl-belt, and various chains and ornaments from round the " kolpag" embrace many beautiful pieces of ornament in brilliants, pearls, and enamel work. These are all to be sold separately, as the value of • mere bees upon the scabbard is likely to be quite high enough to suit the ordinary dealer in thesscostly wares. The handle of the sword forms a lot by itself ; it has one very large and fine brilliant at the end, and is studded with more than 2,200 very fine diamonds. The decoration of the sword-belt comprises several most superb ornaments, the chief of which is • lion's head enamelled in gold, with eyes of brilliants, and holding a ring by which is suspended a magnificent single stone of 17 carats in weight and of the purest quality. The carat weighs 4 grains, it is • weight derived from India and the East, where it has been used as a weight for diamonds for ' ages, in the form of • peculiar been or fruit of • tree called " Xuara," hence the word. Five rows of 99 Oriental pearls support the badge of brilliants and pearls, and there is an official stick of ebony mounted with diamond■ and one large atone on the top weighing 43 grains. This stick was presented to the late Prince Nicolas Esterhazy by the Empress Maria Theresa of Aultria. But the late prince's trustees, whoever those gentlemen may I be, are determined not only to realise upon the orders of the Fleece, but to maks the most of the old clothes of this family. The cast-off garments of an Eaterhasy, however, were worth having. Every one has heard of, and some of us prevent saw at the coronation of Queen Victoria that famous jacket and pantaloons which every time the prince wore them it cost him some three or four thousands in the pearls and jewels that were brushed off the dress in one night's dancing. Whether the veritable jacket is here to be seenand sold to the highest bidder wears not it the secret to pronounce ; but here is spells*, or " dolman" covered with an embroidery of Oriental pearls too nume rous to think of counting them. On the sleeves alone, the catalogue assures us, "there are nearly 10,000 pearl', many of them of large and exquisite Orient." Certainly the lovely ornament of the pearl is not so well bestowed as upon the more lovely neck of some beauteous bride, but anything more truly splendid in the way of dives than this Hungarian uniform in purple velvet could hardly be conceived. No small amount of curiosity has arisen as to how such unique valuables came into possession of an English dealer, and bow they ever came out of the country where the prince must have had so many affectionate adherents, There was some little difficulty about the matter, but this, as we sea, proved not insurmountable to the diplo macy of cash, and whether it was by forty or fifty thousand pounds that the prince's estate benefited, there can be little doubt that the jewels sold separately will rea lised double this sum. The popular lecture at Surrey Chapel last even ing was delivered by Mr. Handel Comham, on " Power." Lord Shaftesbupresided, and in the course of his re marks said, " T he church of England is not • principle but an u oent. If it does not stand up for the Reforma tion as the bulwark against Popery, I say let the church of England go. But I hope better things." Mr. Cashew's lecture was described by his lordship as containing • greater amount of good common sense than he had ever heard put together in the apace of an hour.

The Indo-Buropean line is now working better than for many months past. Lord Cranborne's resignation is greatly regretted.

Intelligence from Bokhara states that that place has not fallen, and that the Ameer bee not made terms with Ruuia. The Rumian forces, it is added, bad not advanced beyond Jembuck. The envoy from Bokbara had left Calcutta ; he would ameive the Viewer's answer from the Lieutenant-Governor the Punjaub. THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. The Union Company's steamship Briton touched at Plymouth yesterday, with dates from the Cape of Good Hrpe, Feb. 19 ; St. Helena, Feb. 27 ; Ascension, March 3; Madeira, March 19. She brings 73 passengers, the nasal mails, and four packages of specie. The 'triton afterwards proceeded to Southampton. The following is Mr. Iteuter's summary of her news: . . . At Hie Oape politics were quiet. There was already great speculation as to the probable course of the business during the next session of parliament, which will open about the end of April. The neoessity of a further re trenchment in the public expenditure was everywhere ad nutted. The Governor had issued a circular to the resident inagistnites and civil commissioners to show how far the retrenchment resolutions adopted br the House of As sembly could be advantageously carried out in their vari ous departments. A pamphlet had been published by Mr. Darnell, point ing out that 400,000 f. might be realised by a proper use being mule of the crown forests alone. Refreshing rains had fallen over a great part of the country, but some districts were suffering slightly from drought. Agricultural prospects continued favourable, and trade wee quiet. Table Bay had been visited by an unusual quantity of shipping. The natives in the colony and on its immediate border were perfectly quiet, but another war between the Free State and the Basutos was ;considered imminent, as some Boers had been killed. The lands taken from the Basuto" during the last war had been sold by auction, but it ap peareddoubtful whether their purchasers would be allowed peaceful possession. Some of the Burghers admit that the Besutos have not space enough to live in. They think it a great mistake to occupy land beyond Caledon, this greed of land having, in their opinion, been a fruitful source of colonial war. The trial of some members of the British Kaffranian Mutual Protection Association, which had organised an trued attack upon a Kaffir tribe near King William's Town, a few months since, has been fixed to come off at Port Elizabeth in May next. The news of the alleged death of Dr. Ltvingetone bad reached the Cape. In a letter from Dr. Kirk, British Consulate, Zanzibar, to Sir Thomas Maclean, the news was feared to be but too true from the known ferocious cha meter of the Mazitu, the alleged perpetrators. No further proofs, however, bad arrived than those which have reached England. The birthday of the Sultan of Turkey was for the first time celebrated by the Malay popul•tion at Cape Town on Feb. O. Great solemnity was observed. There were grand ceremonies at the principal mosques in honour of the day, and a complimentary address was presented to the Hon. P. E. de Roubaix, the Consul-General for the Turkish empire. A controversy had been raised in the colony by Lord Romilly's judgment in the appeal case of the Bishop of Natal and Cape Town. Active meetings continued to be held by the different churches, and petitions to the Imperial Parliament were adopted. Some of these pe titions are in favour of the introduction of a bill similar to that brought in by Mr. Cantwell last session, but the large majority of them are opposed to separation in fact or ill name from the church of England. One of the resolutions passed at Cape Town expresses deep regret that doctrines contrary to the fundantentel principles of the church of England are taught within her pale in the colony of Natal, and deeply deplores that measures have not been taken by those whose duty it was to institute them, through the lawfully constituted tribunals of the church of England. Another at Grahamstown petitions " that if the Par liament of Great Britain legislate in any way for the Eng lish church in thisoolony, they will legislate only so far as may be necessary to remove the doubts and uncertainty which exist, and to secure for your petitioners the same law. rights as their fellow-churchmen in Canada now posse= by " At Natal there had been a monetary crisis from there being more banking institutions than were needed, causing overtreding and speculation. The temporary effect of the crisis is considered likely to be soon got over. The African mail packet M'Gregor Laird strived out at Madeira on the lath inst. A deputation from the Indian Tramway Com pany (Limited) had an interview with the Right Hon. Sir :Stafford Northcote, Bart, M.P., at the India...Mee, on the 73rd inst., with reference to the extension of their line. The following gentlemen attended—viz., Sir Macdonald Stephenson, chairman of the company ; Mr. Norton, deputy-chairman ; Mr. Rrockett, Mr. Brain, Mr. Kimher, and General Green, directors of the company ; Sir Charles Fox, engineer ; and Mr. M. B. Scott, secretary to the aompaay. THE CASE OF M. LABURANDE. (From the Daily News.) Tits discumion carried on for nearly six months between the French and English Governments re specting the case of M. LAMIRANDE, who was im properly removed fr.ma Canada by a perversion of the powers established by the Extradition Treaty with France in 1843, has conic suddenly to an end through the act of the prisoner, who has pre ferred to take the chances of submission to his sentence to relying on English protection. There can be no doubt that LAMIRANDE well deserves his sentence, but public opinion in this country has always distinguished between his personal merits and the intentational points which his treatment raises—has always understood that the reclamation made against his detention in France were necessary and incumbent on her MAJESTY'it Ministers—to em ploy Lord STANLEY'S words—not in order that a guilty man might be shielded, but because our Government are guardians of a treaty which has been sanctioned by Parliament, and bound, there fore, to notice any infractions of it. Lord STANLEY has from the first recognised that the bearings of this case on the general question of extradition are very important. Keep ing this aspect of the matter in view, it makes no difference whether LANIIRAN DE was guilty or inno cent ; what we have to do is to take care that the working of our extradition treaties shall be strictly guarded, so as to keep unimpaired those safeguards with which the Legislature has sur rounded the liberty of the subject. Upon a perusal of the papers just presented to Parliament we are bound to say they show in a strong light the danger which attends the opera tion of any treaty of this kind with the French Government. From first to last we are unable to find one word in the language of its agents and representatives in sympathy with that jealousy of liberty and scrupulous regard for legal forms which is an characteristic of our race, and which is found as much in the colonies and the United States as in the mother country. On the contrary, there is an avowed and almost petulant impatience of legal formalities, and a profound contempt for the obligations which they impose. In the repre sentations by Lord STANLEY to the French Go vernment two points were relied on. It was stated that the French authority in Canada who set in motion the proceedings for M. LAMIRANDE'S extradition, nut being ono of the diplomatic agents contemplated by the treaty, had acted without warrant, and in excess of treaty engagements. Further, that by the law of England, the facts laid to the charge of the prisoner in the demand for his extradition did not consti tute forgery, the only crime mentioned in the treaty at all applicable in his case. The second point, it will be noticed, was material. It will be remembered that the Canadian Court of Queen's Bench decided on both points that LAMIRANDE was not liable to extradition, and that his removal while an appeal was pending from the judgment of an inferior court was contrary to law. The law officers of the Crown in England shared both these opinions. The Governor-General's warrant for LAMIRANDE 9 B extradition was issued in ignorance of his appeal. The French Government, on the first representa tion• of these facts, were disposed to take the groin el that LAMLRANDE, being in the hands of the tribueels, could not be surrendered on account of any iriegularitq which might have taken place in Canada but subsequently they were advised that, inssmecli as the prisoner had been placed in the position he occupied by the administrative act of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, that Minister could recover him from the hands of justice, provided that he was satisfied of the right of her Maresrr's Government to claim his sur render, and this recovery might be made even after a trial and conviction. Thus, by subse quently declining to recognise the grounds on which the return of LAMIRANDE was re quested by the QUEEN'S Government, they under took to maintain the regularity of what had taken place, and consequently to establish their right to pursue a course just as arbitrary on any future occasion. The manner in which the French Government met the application of Lord STANLEY suggests, not so much a difference of views be tween the two Governments, as an utter inaccessibi lity on the part of that of France to the consi derations which weigh most with our countrymen. The English fear lest a bad precedent be estab lished is not understood by the French mind. The first time this case was mentioned in the Munitcur it was fur the purpose of remarking that the points relating to the regularity of Lam- RANDK'S extradition " originated in a chain of con " siderations foreign to the question itself." The only question which our neighbours could entertain was whether in this individual case injustice was likely to be done through an irre gularity. The first despatch which the Mar quis DE Mousnelt wrote on this subject closed with a gentle remonstrance with our Go- vernment for interfering on behalf of " a man who " lay under a charge so public that it was in some " measure a case flayrante delitto"—as if that had anything whatever to do with the regularity of the extradition, which our Ministers were bound to guard. Whatever disregard for the principles of liberty and justice was implied in these casual ex pressions became explicit in the elaborate despatch dated March 1, in which M. DE MOVSTIER declined to grant the requested surrender. Let it be ob served how the right of appeal and the authority of the highest court of justice in the colony from which LAMIRANDE was removed are treated by the French Minister of Foreign Affairs. " If," says M. DE MOUSTIER, "the right of appeal does exist, is it " requisite for the Government which claims an " accused person from England to pursue him " through all the judicial steps authorised by the " forma of English law 1 This result doubtless is " not to be feared when it, is a question of a " criminal destitute of resources. But LAMI " RANDS is the proof that a thousand ways of pro " cedure ars open to him who has found by his " crime itself the elements of riches necessary to " meet his expenses; so that at last, by a con " piste subversion of justice, the chances of extra " dition will some time be in an inverse ratio "to the magnitude of the crime. At all events, " to return to the actual case, the antagonistic " opinion of Judge DRUMMOND cannot be alleged " in opposition to that of Judge DREHAUT, since " that opinion, given too late, in the absence of " the parties, wanting moreover in impartiality, " cannot have the force of a decision by a court "of appeal." These reasons for refusing to restore LAMIRANDE are, if possible, worse than the abduction itself. The French Government is not bound to observe all the forms of the English law, but is at Marty to place the opinion of an [STAMPKD, Id. ADDY/IMMO inferior before that of a superior judge—to attack the impartiality of the Court of Queen's Bench, and to impeach the validity of its judgment on account of the absence of the parties, the party re ferred to being the very person whom French agents had clandestinely carried away in the dead of night. And, worst of all, it is deliberately argued that the chances of justice being done are in inverse proportion to the access which the parties may have to British tribunals, small when the accused person is able to carry his case into our courts, but much improved when he has no money with which to prosecute his ap peal. We see here the old complaint of the French Government against our national jealousy for the rights of accused persons. The only con clusion we can come to from this occurrence is, that it is most dangerous to have treaty relations of this kind with a Government inveterately opposed to English principles of justice and freedom. THE PROSECUTION OF GOVERNOR EYRE. BLUM= DRAYTON, MONDAY. At a 'pedal sessions held in the County Court here to-day, Mr. Fitzjames Stephen, instructed by Mears. Sheen and Roscoe, of London, applied for the Wile of a warrant againht Mr. John Edward Eyre, ex-governor of Jamaica, on • charge of beim/ an acoesaory before the fact to the murder of Mr. Geo. 11 to. Gordon. _ _ _ Sir Baldwin Leighton, Bart., Chairman of the Quarter Sessions, presided. The other magistrates on the bench were Colonel Hill, Major Boughton, Mr. K. Co' rbet, Mr. Egerton Harding, and Mr. John Tayleur. Before the pr oceedings were opened Mr. Thos. Twem low, one of the magistrates usually occupying a seat on the ' bench, rose and said that Mr. I). Hodson and himself, being subscribers to the Eyre Defence Fund, had thought it right not to sit on the occasion. The Chairman said if any one had an application to make the bench were prepared to bear it. Mr. litzjames Stephen said he vpeared there by the instructions of Mr. John Stuart Mill, M.P. for Westmin ster, and Mr. Peter Taylor, M.P. for Leicester, to apply for a warrant for the apprehension of John Ed ward 'tyre, now resident at Adderly Hall, in that county, as an acces sory before the fact to the wilful murder of George Wil li Gordon, in Jamaica, on the 23rd October, 1a65. It would be mere affectation on his part to suppose the gene ral outlines of the events which had given rise to the application were unknown to the bench. He would, how ever, proceedto @peak shortly, first, of the law which he held gave the bench jurisdiction in the matter ; secondly, of the facts out of which the application arose ; and thirdly, his view of the law as applied to those facts. With respect to the legal provisions which gave to the bench jurisdiction in the ease he believed there could be no doubt on the subect, but to save time he would cite the acts under which Ire moved. The first was the 24th and 25th Vic., chap. 100, sec. 9, which gives to magistrates the power to issue their warrant for the apprehension of any person, being a subject of the Queen charged with having committed murder or manslaughtei in any part of the United Kingdom or colonies, provided the accused resided within the jurisdiction of the magis trates issuing such warrant. He also relied upon , the 11th and 12th Vic., cap. 42, sea 2, commonly known as 'Jarvis's Act," which contained very similar provisions. Under these acts of parliament, then, he charged John Edward Eyre with having been accessory before the fact to a murder committed on land, to wit at Morant Bay, in Ja maica, beyond the seas, in consequence of which he is liable to be proceeded against in the county in which he had taken up his residence, and in which they (the Market Drayton bench' were entitled to issue their warrant. Such were the grounds upon which he applied for the war- rant, and he would proceed to state very shortly the feat upon which the application was based. On the 11th October, 1865, a disturbance took place at Morant Bay, in the island of Jamaica. It was considered that the state of the island war such as to warrant the proclamation of martial law, and accordingly ruartial law was proclaimed, under a statute to the provisions of which he should shortly have to adl their attention. Immediately on the issue of the proclamation Governor Eyre proceeded in one of her Majesty's ships to the scene of the disturbance, and there passed several days in making arrangements fur meeting the disturbance. He left Kingston on the 13th October, and without following his movements in detail, it would be sufficient to say that he spent several days in different parts of Morant Bay, and on the 17th October returned to After e coosultatica with the magistrates at Kingston, some ton, and in consequence of what was said to pre vail in the disturbed districts, Governor Eyre went, in company with Dr. Bowerbauk, the custos of the country, and carrying Gordon with him to Morons Bey, again seal ing in her Majesty's ship the Wolverine, and arriving at Murant Bay on the 20th October. (Mr. Stephen, at the request of the chairman, here put in the map of the island, and pointed out the districts he referred to.) The whole of the island was placed under martial law, with the exception of Kingston. On the 20th October Gordon was landed at Merritt Bay, together with seine other prisoners, and was left in charge of Brigadier-General Nelson, to whom was deputed the military uiperintendence of the district affected by the revolt. Gordon having been landed at Morant Bay, Governor Eyre returned, a court-martial, as it is called, was held, and proceeded to try Gordon. Ths court-mar tial was composed of Lieutenant Brand, LieutenantErring ten, and Ensign Kelly. They sat ; and a trial, or what ',refereed to be a trial, took place, the result of that trial being that Gordon was sentenced to be hung on the Satur day, and on the following Monday the sentence was car ried out. During the interval between the passing of the sentence and its execution Nelson transmitted an account of the proceedings to Eyre; Eyre received them on the Sunday, read them, wrote two letters in connection with them, and returned them to Brand. These proceedings were evidence against Eyre because Eyre had admitted that he had received there documents, that he returned them with the letters, and that they were received by Nelson before the execution of Gordon took place. These papers all formed portions of a large amount of evidence which was printed in a Jamaica blue-book. . . The Chairman—This is we take it only an application for a warrant against a certain person, and it will not be n logo into all that. If you have any witnesses to call, and they have good grounds for believing that Mr. Eyre is guilty of munler, the warrant will be grauted. Mr. Stephens said that the bench would be aware that a somewhat similar application had been rustle before a Lon d•m magistrate and it had been considered necessary on that occasion that in a matter of such importance he (Mr. Stephen) should go very fully into the statement of the case. The Chairman said Mr. Stephens bad very properly called their attention to the law of the case, and to his authorities for the application. lie had then recited facts which, if proved by witnesses, would be quite sufficient to justify the bench in granting a warrant. Mr. Stephen said that in the case of an ordinary appli. cation for a warrant it would of course be quite sufficient to say that A 11 believed C D had been guilty of a mur der, and then call .t 1i to state the grounds of his convic tion, but the present notbeinganordinary case, be thought the bench might wish him to treat it somewhat more in After abrief consultation among the magistrates, The Chairman said that they were hardly of opinion that it would be necessary for Mr. Stephen to dwell any longer in his introductory speech. The only application before the magistra.es was for the issue of a warrant, and Mr. Stephen could call the witnesses to prove the simple facts usually required to be in evidence before • warrant was granted. Mr. Stephen said the question was one more of law than of fact, and he thought, therefore, that the court mi;ht permit him to proceed with the statement of his ease, as wee done in another (murk The Chairman said their only desire was to prevent more speeches being made than was necessary, and they could not be guided there by the course which had been taken in another court. The chairman further intimated that it would be necessary for the prosecutor to be present, in order to enter in:* the usual reeognieinoes to prosecute. Mr. Stephen said the prosecutor would be present when the case came on for examination. Mr. Stephen then called Dr. Abe Fales—l am a surgeon practising in Jamaica. I was acquainted with Mr. George William Gordon. He is dead. Mr. Gordon was of Kingston, Jamaica. From what I know of the circumstances of his death I believe he was condemned and ciecuted without proper evidence to warrant such an act. I believe his execution was illegal. I believe it to have been murder in contemplation of law in those who were connected with it. I believe that Mr. Byre was a party to his execution. I have no doubt about it. Mr. Gordon bad apartments, and his plans of business was at Kingston. His chief residence was at Cherry Garden, about six miles from Kingston. • Sir Baldwin Leighton— Was it in the pariah of Kingston? Witness—No; it was about 41 mile! oat 4‘the tiwn. Another magistrate- Was Mr. Gonlon a patient of yoart? Witneat—Yes, he wee. Warldill Wm. Lake—l am a reporter, tribally resident in Kingston, Jamaica. I knew George Win. Gordon. I saw him hung at Mnrant Bay on the 2:441 October, 1865. He was hung till be died. By the Bench— Provoat-Msrshal Ramsay was the chief officer present. He conducted the priapecution. By Dlr. Stephen—l beard him tried. He was tried by Lieutenant Brand, Lieutenant Errington, and Ensign Kelly. Colonel Nelson was not at the trial ; he was at the execution. A magistrate—l think you said he was commanding dhow in the district' Witness—He was. Sir Baldwin Leighton—Was Governor Ere there! Witness---I did not see him. Dr. Fickle; r;al - I . e7l, — ;77;amined by Mr. Stephens— I was present when Mr. Gordon was arrested. He was arrested at Headquarters-house, in Kingston. He went there to meet any charge that might be brought against tar. Governor Eyre arrested him. He said it warn neces sary to apprehend him, or words to that effect. Previous to this Gordon said to Mr. Eyre that he had heard there were charges against him, and he had coins to meet any charge that might be brought. Mr. Eyre further said he could not permit Mr. Gordon to leave without an escort. Mr. Gordon then got into Mr. Bowerbank's carriage, which was followed by a few mounted volunteers. I did not see Gordon again. By the Bench—There was no written warrant. Sir Baldwin Leighton—What ground have you for be lieving Eyre to be subject to this charge? Witneas—He personally app rehended Mr. Gordon. Also from his having accomp a ni e d him to Morant Bay, and con firming the sentence of death. Sir Baldwin Leighton—then your private opinion is that Mr. Gordon was illegally put to death? Wawa—Certainly. After this witness had been examined, the Chairman, addressing Mr. Stephen, said the bench were of opinion that it would be necessary for them to see before them the prosecutor in the ease, in order that he might be bound over to prosecute in owe the warrant was panted. Mr. Shan at once volunteered to sauna the office of prosecutor, and was requested to enter the witness-box. Mr. Shaeu—l ha in London, and am • solicitor. I am the prosecutor in this case. 1 charge Mr. Eyre with being an accessory before the fact to the murder of George William Gordon, which took place at Meant Bay on the 23rd October, litli,i. I have good grounds fur thinking that he is guilty of the offence. I apply for a warrant to arrest him. The bench here consulted while the depositions were resat over to the witnesses. Mr. Stephen—lf your worships will permit me, I would like to make an observation at this point. The section of the act under which these proceeding* are taken is extremely general, and leaves it open to the ma giatrates to issue either a summons or • warrant. If the bench is of opinion that they can issue a summons in the place of • wanant, we should prefer to have the summons. We have no wish to do anything that Is unnecessarily harsh. If there is any arrangement that can be made to prevent the infliction of the slightest possible inconvenience upon Mr. Eyre, the prosecution will he most happy to adopt it. Mr. Rose said he was present there on behalf of Mr. Eyre, and he had only to say that Mr. Eyre was ready at any hour or any day which the court might fin to be present and answer the charges brought against him ; only be did not in any way recognise the Jamul.' committee. Mr. Gifford, who had been retained to conduct the defence of Mr. Eyre, was at present at Prosteign, but he could be at Market Dray ton in time to proceed with the Mae on Wednesday. The warrant was then signed, and the proceedings were adjourned till Wednesday. STRIKE OP ENGINE-DRIVERS ON THE BRIGH- TUN RAILWAY. The following notion was issued last night by the company : The directors were not without hope that the reply which they had given to the memorial presented by the enginemen and firemen would have solved the pending difficulty, but they must now inform the public that the majority of the enginemen and firemen tonstituting the staff of this railway, have notified their intention of re tiring trout the service, nuke" their demands are satisfied- At a further interview to-day, satisfactory explanations took place, and an agreement was come to as regards shed days, Sunday work, the number of miles to be run as con stituting a day's work, amounting in the aggregate to not more than 7ZiO miles per week—all beyond that number to be counted, and prod for as extra. The board also, though deeming the demand unreasonable, and not for the permanent interest of the men, conceded that each day should be canted as ten hours, instead of as a tenth of GU hours ; although, in practice, the day's work on this line is limited very frequently to lea' than five hours. Thu rate of wages paid by this company is so liberal that nu permanent loss will result in conceding the scale asked. The directors were therefore willing that the minimum pay of drivers should be Gs., progreaaing upwards to 7s. Gd. per day, and the minimum pay of firemen 3s. la, advancing to 4a. Gd. per day. But the durum' that all engine -drivers and firemen shall be advanced to the maxi mum scale of wages, after a few months' service, without reference to their ability, is so wrong in principle that the board cannot reconcile it with their sense of duty to con. sent to such a demand. Should the engine -drivers and firemen act on their notices and retire, the directors will at once reduce the number of trains and the present speed, so as not to exceed in any case a maximum of 20 miles per hour, and they will make available all the re sources and means at their disposal for safely working as many trains as practicable, and will spare nu exertion to replace the staff at the earliest possible period—By order, ALLEN Santa, Acting Secretary. London Bridge Terminus, March 2'. What took place yesterday on the subject may be briefly stated. The drivers and firemen waited upon the Brighton board, at the Lundon-bridge terminus, au under. standing having beeu come to on Friday week last that the notices to leave the service of the company on the following Tuesday ahould nut be acted upon, and that the men would continue to work their trains until yesterday, in order to give the board time for considering the whole question of the dispute. It appears that the scale of wages which the directors proposed to pay to the drivers was an increasing one of tit. per day every 12 months until it reached a maximum of is. lid. per day ; and that the pay was to woman,* at Gs. per day. The proposition of the men was that the increase of lid. per day should take place every six mouths, they stating that they would be satisfied to receive is bd. per day after two years instead of lit months' service. A very strong objection was made by the men that the proposed increase of wages would take place at the option of the locomotive superin tendent, and that objection was summated by statements made by them that such a system would encourage favouritism, of which they had complained fur a long tune past. With the exception of these two points the I requirements of the men were acceded to. The depute thin which waited upon tht board of directors yesterday, refused to come to any compromise, and left the beard. room stating that none of the men would run a single train this murmur. At 11 o'clock last night the men had left their place of meeting in Touley-street, and unites a special agent should he sent down the line with an inti. motion that the men's terms were acceded to, the bility is that this morning ti attic will be in a great measure, if not wholly, suspended. On Saturday 968 engine-drivers and firemen of the Newcastle, Leeds, York, and Malton sections of the North Emden, ltailway—but not including the Stockton and Darlington section—sent in their notices to cease work on the 20th of April next, unless in the meantime the demands of the men were conceded by the beard. The men have taken this step in consequence of the non acceptance by the board ut the " scale" system of wages proposed by the men, although they ) ielded 1;d. per day in their demands, and were satiatied with the director* . con ceseions as to the number of hour*' labour being reduced from 12 to 10. The Stockton and Darlington men are ex pected to support their comrade* of the other sections, in asmuch as they supported the Darlington men during their grievances some time ago. Mr. H BEARD'S CHU/tuft RATE lit I.L. —Mr. Hard castle writes :—" I think it is as well to remind the readers of Mr. Hubbard's letter that the power of re covery it contains is entirely unneceoatry, rs ..0 church rates are prospective—that is, levied and recoverable for future, nut fur past expenditure.
