LONDON, THURSDAY, AUG. 27. MR. COLERIDGE ON THE IRISH CHURCIi. MR. Cot ERIDGE' a recent speech at Exeter contains so many admirable things, restates old truths with so much freshness, and drives them home with such power of illustration, that it is the more important to single out the one point on which we think he is mistaken. His de scription of the Irish Church as " an establishment " founded in cruelty and bloodshed, fostered and " protected by a system of persecution so thorough "going and ferocious as to disgrace human na " tore, and now supported by injustice which " has not been paralleled since the days of " ADAM ;" his indignant protest that we could not govern Ireland as we do, "if it were not that " the English hatred of Popery has for centuries " blinded the , eyes and hardened the hearts "of many of the people of this country " against the cruel injustice that we " were wreaking upon a sister nation, the chief " crime of whom ia, after all, that they have " steadily adhered to that form of Roman Chris " tianity which their forefathers professed;" his contemptuous inquiry whether the Qvwe is not supreme in all her dominions—in Scotland, where the Establishment rejects all visible headship ; in India, where the population is not even Christian ; in Jamaica, " where the State Church has just " been disestablished;" in Australia, " where no " State Church has ever existed ;" these, and many other passages of the same kind, are ex actly what is most wanted in such a campaign as we are now entering upon. But in the midst of all this there comes a sentence or two which, that we may not unintentionally misrepresent the speaker, we will quote in full :—" I am not, how " ever, content to give up what I think the " beneficial effect of the legal position of the royal " supremacy in matters ecclesiastical. I am not pre " pared for the creation of a great, wealthy, trig* " educated, powerful, and perfectly unfettered " religious body in Ireland, and to have the " scenes of South Africa enacted upon a greater " scale much nearer home. And at any risk of " misconstruction I must say that if Mr. GLAD " eroax's proposal to reserve three-fifths of the " endowments of the disestablished body be " carried into effect, I shall insist with all the " power I can that the present standards of doe " trine, and the present safeguards for toleration " and liberality of opinion, shall remain with th " endowments.". Upon this we have two criticisms to make. In the first place, the retention of a modified royal suPretnocT ov**.tehe 116011 from that which the Otresterftesessarily Abram" over all her Irish subjechl, vinuld be-unjust to Irish Church. Over . aq, established Church State claims exceptional control in return for ceptional favours. When the favours are with drawn the control ought, in common fairness, to be withdrawn too. The reservation of three fifths of the endowments of the Irish Church, sup pcsinglissinterhoWise pee+Ofttell% ultimately on, will tur‘esinititute a favour in this sense. The prufieetyilinia dseit,vriiii will br either regent gifts to therChurear from rivet. sierldryh'eferirpen sation for the caTophs4i4 'rains - or vested late.P. , rests, • -or elm given -in. lieu of calculated coistionsatiOn for thb purpone pf ‘ acpuil•-e lug acconnts: ..Not one of these hinds of property" is a gift from the State in any sense which eatitbri' - it to usact,peouliarfinbanierion in return. Secondly, Ruch a - settlement mould go far to frustrate the. Pest enclPf§iesdeblirshment. In dealing with a grievance which,though extremely real I. at the same-time extremely subtle, it is necessary to be very careful about externals. The notion' of Anglican ascendancy has taken such hold on the minds of Irishmen of both,creeds,.that it is not enough, in order to uproot it, to do sway with the substance of an Establishment. Wti mo st udo away _ _ with the appearance of an ataMishinera also. Now a compromise of the kind hinted at by Mr. Coutaroos would not fulfil this condition. The Anglican Church in Ire land would retain a connexion with the govern ment which would not be shared by the Boman catholic church in Ireland. It may be said that this connexion would be nothing but a disadvan tage, but we are quite sure that this is not the light in which it would be regarded by the average Irishman. State recognition will always, in the eyes of the multitude, confer a oertain social supe riority ; and Irish protestants might be trusted to make the most 'of such an exceptional position. And why are we asked to run this risk ? Only, it appears, that we may not " have the scenes of " South Africa enacted on a greater scale much " nearer borne." We confess that, by the side of Fenianism and a few other recent troubles, the possibility of having a bishop too many in some Irish diocese or other does not seem very terrible. THE ONE RIGHTEOUS MAN. Ix the kingdom of the blind the one-eyed is king. According to this principle of selection, a recent letter addressed to the Times by Mr. R. STUART LANE has been welcomed by public credulity with grateful surprise as quite a master piece of indignant financial virtue. Let us see what sort of sacrifice it is that Mr. R. STUART LANE proposes to offer on the altar of his self-esteem. It ap pears that he is, or was, a director of the Credit Foncier of England, whose brilliant operations at home and abroad have resulted in the ruin of thousands of families. Mr. R. STUART LANE avers that, " to the best of his belief," the Directors of that Company " never received in any shape " any remuneration beyond that to which they were justly entitled, and that such amount of " remuneration was only arrived at after the " most capful scrutiny by persons we believe " thoroughly trustworthy and independent." It requires no veryprofound acquaintancewith the rules of logic to detect in this paragraph as many gross fallacies as six lines can contain. Mr. R. STUART LANE begs every question that can possibly concern the shareholders, and seems utterly ignorant or unconscious of the case he is required to prove. To the best of his belief it may have been per fectly right and proper for the directors of the Credit Foncier, under the able and appropriate administration of Mr. ALBERT GRANT, to enrich themselves by commissions offered and accepted for floating fancy companies at home and abroad, which were destined to absorb like a sponge the savings of a multitude of innocent and obscure in vestors. Mr. R. STUART LANE is, of course, at liberty to consider that the Directors were justly entitled to this sort and amount of remuneration for bringing innumerable people, who trusted in them, to poverty. Nor is it improbable that, holding such views of the duty of directors acting in the capacity of trustees for their shareholders, Mr. R. STUART LANE and his co-directors should believe in the thorough trustworthiness and independence of the persons who, " after the most " careful scrutiny," approved and sanctioned this distribution of profits. It would be a miserable satisfaction to the shareholders of the Credit Foncier of England to learn the names of these " persons" on whose careful scrutiny the Directors relied, and who acted as the keepers of the directorial conscience, before they venture to take heart of grace from Mr. R. STUART LANE'S chivalrous declaration that " should any " errors have been, even unintentionally, made in " such calculations by unfair valuations of the " assets—(what assets ?)—or otherwise," he is ", perfectly ready and most anxious to make good " any overpayment to the fullest extent." _ _ Mi. B. SWART La acknowledges the receipt of the small trifle of 4,1261. hie. 9d. (the 9d. is charming ! ) as " Directors' commission." Commission on what ? This insignificant honora rium of 4,1261. 15e. 9d. does not represent salary, which might be a perfectly intelligible and legiti mate form of " remuneration." What then does it represent ? It represents " commission" for ruining the shareholders—a transaction which bears an ugly resemblance to scuttling. After this, need we say any more about this handsome offer by Mr. STUART LANE than that we devoutly wish the poor shareholders of the Credit Foncier of England may get it—whatever or wherever " it " may be. - AND WHO IS MY NEIGHBOUR r OH the well-known road from Dolgelly to Bala is an inn called Howell Dda, kept by Mr. Hownu. JONES, and unfortunately at this inn Lord MOOTYN and his brother happened last week to be staying. We say unfortunately, for when these aristocratic guests were in the house admis sion was demanded for a poor carrier, DAVID Janos by name, who bad had a dangerous fall, and was apparently dying. Perhaps on ordinary occasions Mr. Howxt.r. Jos is a man of huma nity, but with a living lord in the house, the risk of having at the same time a dead carrier was too great to be incurred. No doubt Mr. HOWELL Joare.s felt the difficulty of his position, but he faced it like a man, or, to speak more correctly, like a landlord. Admission was refused to the sufferer, who for thirty-six hours had been lying exposed to the weather and undergoing severe pain before he was discovered. JONES was then carried to Dolgelly, and there seems to have received similar treatment. It is not therefore to be wondered at that the poor fellow died shortly afterwards. A coroner's inquest was held in due course, and the jury expressed their opinion that the deceased had been'" zery badly treated." We are curious to know what Mr. Howard, dorms and the inhospitable villagers of Dolgelly think of this at least be made to suffer in his purse, and we trust for the credit of humanity that in frnry.. his ina • will •be shunnee t tihiCira and by the tourist.

Sir THOMAS MARTON WELSON, Earl &FENCER, Lord Bitowwww, and others, appear to *be respectively contesting, as 10fdR,Of manors, tint alleged rights of ,those Who represent'the . public. Hampstead-heath, Wimbledon, and Bark hampstead commons, are all representative cases, of which the outside world has heard from time to time, and which will be quoted as precedents here after. It is some two years or more since Mr. Atrouerva 131trrif "bold experiment" was related in the columns of the Daily Newe. A large and important portion of Berkhampstoad common had been enclosed by the agents of the late Lord Baowsrtirw, who insisted that the rights of tho commoners had been sufficiently bought up to make the proceeding legal. But Mr. Armin-ma Sham, as a landed proprietor with extensive common rights, thought differently, and, sending a special train and some hundreds of labourers from London to Berkhampstead at night, had the costly and substantial railings forming the en closure uprooted in a few hours. Many and divers comments were made at the time upon this " re " turn to an old constitutional form," but it is significant that the railings have never been restored ; that the disputed portion of the common is now as open as it, has been from time immemorial ; and that V. local rumour be correct, it is Mr. Avousrus Smarr who still insists upon the whole matter being decided by a court of law. Wimbledon common was one of the earliest in dispute. Earl Semmes proposal to convert a por tion of it into a park, and to make this form ally over to the public, roused determined opposition. Men said that the common being already the property of the community, it was idle to talk of that being presented which was already theirs. Those portions of the scheme which provided for " the outlying parts of the " common" being sold for building purposes, and for a residence and private gardens for Earl &Emma as Lord Keeper, were hotly condemned, and the result is a Chancery suit between the Wimbledon residents and the lord of the manor, which, it is said, has been somewhat needlessly delayed. Sir THOMAS Wu.sow's claims and their present frustration are evidenced by the half built house to be seen in the immediate vicinity of Jack Straw's Castle. An injunction in Chancery has alone prevented the magnificent view over the Heath and fields to Harrow being shut out by bricks and mortar. The right of Sir THOMAS WILSON to build on the Heath at all is being actively disputed by Mr. fitrRNET Hoaaz and the inhabitants of Hampstead, and the decision of the Court is hoped for at the close of the long vacation. We have only cited three out of many instances in which the vagueness of the rights of lords of manors is leading to con siderable public inconvenience. The question is too important to be left to the chances of local patriotism, and will, it is to be hoped, be dealt with effectually by the new parliament. The Right Hon. W. COWPER, Mr. J. 8. MILL, Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE, Mr. LOCEE, Mr. THOMAS HUMUS, and Mr. CHARLES Brawn are among the Liberal members who are on the committee of the Com mons Preservation Society, and who are thus pledged to seek a satisfactory settlement of the law. As matters stand, a not unimportant con stitutional battle may be fought, as is the case now with regard to the enclosure of Epping Forest, with an indigent cottager on the one side, and the rector, the justices of the peace, and the county families banded together on the other. knows :ais base - eadesinelical learning, 4ftt1:*111 1 141. hk IM-40111101..a the Canon Law, was probably net se amok regarded by the .gwain Ann an as bilslillismes iiial4l44,l 4 rtir rkaroils'a polt aM ioc IOIX SI Kt. 4 .-0000%.--00+.4140 • 1 ' . le ' &4o/41110 ire I.O6UI.IMita r to SS Moe et: a. phiewoloitoil Nadi& dictionary :—" sesestioe . writer " (who has the largest chwelatioit in the wotti)—" A peeny-s -."

SOME familiar races will be missed in the New Parliament, faces of men of business, an order of men of whom this country is so justly proud. " What is business ?" asks Rene de Chaney, the poor and ingenuous youngnobleman in La Ques tion d' Argent of Jean Oiraud, the parvenu finan cier. " Business," replies Jean, " simply means other " people's money." We daresay there will be no lack of men of business of this kind in the next House of Commons, but one or two of the celebri ties of a past era will be found no more on the benches or in the lobbies of the House. Among others, the Conaervative member for Kidder minster, who succeeded to Mr. Lows as the representative of that pure but some what vehement constituency, will not, it seems, make his appearance on the hustings, where his presence would be eagerly hailed by a vast number of, we were going to say, his coun trymen ; but, not to put too fine a point on it, by a vast number of his admirers from all parte of the country, eager to learn from hie lips how financial beanstalks grow in a single night. Mr. Chaperons will look in vain for the pleasing form and figure of that eminent member of the constitutional party, that cosmo politan defender of the Throne, the Church, and the Constitution, who, on one occasion, assured the Liberal leader, in a tone of indulgent regret, that he had, from his boyhood up, watched his career with admiring sympathy. Another con spicuous absence will probably be that of the Adullamite member for Lambeth, whose engage ments at Brussels appear to be of a nature to detain him in England, but whose " public " worlpi" in the Belgian capital are as imperfectly appreciated by his English as by his Belgian constituents. THE NEW DEAN OF RIPON. Tits Liverpool Mercury of this morning an nounces that the Deanery of Ripon has been offered to Da. HUGH Pd‘Nzu.s. This selection may perhaps be considered as a set-off to some recent appointments which have shaken the con fidence of our contemporary, the Record, in the Protestant convictions of Mr. Dissexu. The selection of Dr. M'Nsum, however, for the Deanery of Ripon will not, in fact, alter the balance of parties in the Church, Once his church principles are precisely those of his predecessor, Dr. GOODE. What makes #iis appointment remarkable is that WIZ TM or TES Is it, or is it not, asks tho Timm, a foot that since the accesies of • ooneervative ministry to power th e process of reducing the national expenditure has been not only arrested, bet turned backwards ? There is only one answer to the questios, and every one is so conscious of the truth that those who would have it otherwise compare the present expenditure with the worst years of the " extravagant parliament" in order to find an excuse for it. Instead of a yearly ex penditure falling below the yearly estimates, we have had to reconcile ourselves to the unpleasant fact of • yearly expenditure exceeding the estimates. Deficits have taken the place of surpluses. For reduction of taxation we have to submit to an increase. Instead of a redundant exchequer, we are forced to contemplate impoverished balances. It is unfortunate for Mr. Disraeli that he has no one who can say a sensible word in his behalf. His apologists are zealous enough, but they appear to be deficient in the habits of exactness. Tho truth is, that extravagance has been winked at right and left. The answer to all this is that, although mi nisters have not proved themselves efficient economists hitherto, they are now on the high road t• attain that character. When they bad a reputation to gain in view of the coming elections they were lavish. Let them be supported by • majority in November, and they will prove themselves truly economical. This promise needs no comment. Such an answer is, indeed, so ludi crous that it may be left in all its simplicity to amuse the world. I:DUCA/10N 07 WOMEN. The Council of the British Association are asked to ap point a committee to consider how the scientiflo education of women can be promoted. It is, says the Daily News, in a wider, more liberal education that the female sex will find the remedy for that expulsion from the great field of the world's work of which Miss Becker complains. Let the faculties of each sex be trained with equal thorough ness, and their inherent distinction will come out as clearly as their essential oneness. Perhaps if the emo tional nature of men and the reason of women were more thoroughly cultivated in their education we might hear lees of " supposed differences in the minds of the two sexes of man." THE INCATEST AT AHIOO/I.Z. Commenting upon the unseemly proceeding at the Aber pie inquest, the Star remarks that the coroner seems to be a man somewhat of the school of honest Dogberry, plodding, perplexed, dreadfully pedantic in his way, and yet quite undecided, full of talk and self-importance, blundering, inconsequential, anxious to do right, and yet even when going in the right direction getting along the truck in a wrong sort of way. It was, however, scarcely worth the while of a peer and a baronet and several other personages of rank to keep up a constant wrangle with an official whose worst pedantries or mistakes could scar cely lead to anything so unseemly as the means taken to correct them. The Herald gives the coroner credit for having done his best to bridge over the gulf that separates the sublime from the ridiculous. THE LABOtla QtrE9TION. The Peat insist& that the only remedy for the im poverished condition of the agricultural labourer described to the British Association by Canon Girdleetone, is to be found in national emigration, education, and time. IGN NEWS. (THIS DAY.) CARNE DIPRISO:CWX!rr. The Telegraph describes tho order issued by Sir R. Mayne extending the time during which the dogs of Lon don are to be muzzled or confined. as an edict "which deserves to be received with a howl of indignation." Scotland-yard has not kept faith with the dogs of Lon don, and the perpetration of this blunder will make the police less popular than ever. Her Majesty the Queen, with the junior mem bers of the royal family, and their attendant suites, will arrive in England on the 11th of September. The royal yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain his Serene Highness the Prince Leiningen, will proceed to Cherbourg and be ready to embark the royal party on the morning of that day. The yacht will then cross to Portsmouth harbour, and the Queen and soya! family will disembark at the Royal Clarence Victualling Yard, where they will enter a special train. Travelling as far sa Baaingstoke on the South-Western Railway, the royal party will then enter carriages and proceed on the Great Western Railway to Windsor, arriving at the Castle a little after seven o'clock. Of the trip to Scotland nothing is yet definitely known ; it is believed, however, that the Queen will leave Windsor about Friday, the 26th of September, fos her Highland home at Balmoral. Lord Napier arrived at Rughenden Manor on Monday evening on a visit to the Premier. He was met at the Wycombe station by the high sheriff, the mayor, and corporation of Wycombe, and • party of about fifty gen tlemen on horseback, headed by Mr. 0. H. Hussey and Mr. Thomas Coates, ehiuthwardens, who escorted him to the residence of the Premier. At the entrance to the estate the parishioners had erected a triumphal arch of evergreens, decorated with flags; and words " Welcome to Hughenden " were worked in mass on a white ground by the wile of the vicar and other ladies of the parish. DR. WNEILE AND THE DEANERY OF RIPON. —The deanery of Ripon has (says the Liosrpool Moretoy) been offered to and accepted by the Rev. Hugh M'Neile, D.D., ex-incumbent of St. Paul's, Prince's-park, Liver pool, and canon of Chester. DEATH OF LORD NORMAN"FON.—We have to an nounce the death of the Earl of Normanton, which oc curred at his residence in London yesterday. His lord ship was born Nov. 12, 1778, and succeeded his father, •Charles, Earl of Normanton and Archbishop of Dublin, July 14, 1809. He married, May 17, 1816, Diana, daughter of urge Augustus, Earl of Pembroke. She died Dec. 2, 1841, leaving three sons and one daughter (the Countess Nelson). His lordship is succeeded by his son J 1101416. Viscount Somerton, who married, April 9, 18t6, Caroline, daughter of William, Viscount Barrington, and has two sons and three daughters. DEATH OF (WIRRAL SIR FRANCIS COCKBURN, Ksricurr.—We have to reoord the death of General Sir Francis Cockburn, colonel of the 96th Regiment of Foot, who died on the 24th inst. at Dover, In the 88th year of hie age. The venerable and gallant general was the fifth eon of Sir James Cockburn, Bart., of Langton, by his second wife, Miss Aytioough, daughter of the Dean of Bristol. Ho married, in 1804, MIN . Sandys, daughter of the late Bev. Richard Sandys, and niece maternally of the fourth Earl of Tankerrille; she died in 1854. He entered the army in 1800, and served in South America in 1807; in the Peninsula in 1809-10; and in Canada from 1811 to 1811. He obtained the rank of RllOll,lll in 1880, and was appointed colonel of the 96th Regiment in lilt The gal lant general had held several colonial governorships, hay uog been Oovernor of Hcadures; and, in 1837 , Governor and Commander-in-chief et the BAhipte bland.% BEE-RAN POLICY.

It indellaitely pets off the time fer explana tions and the remit is that the difficalty increases with delay. No one loves peace more than ire do, but there is a peace mere hurtful they war and the peace we enjoy is a peace of this kind. Upon this point there is but one opinion in France. Everybody is expecting war from day to day. All are agreed as to the necereity of some day flinging the sword of Brennus into the scales of the balance of Germany. What are you weals( for, then? Tear army is reedy ; your arinanents are complete. Millions upon millions come packed and pressing at your all. Are you going to wait till your .011[1111811 are better prepared than you, and to repeat the unfortunate phrase of Fontenoy, " Fire first, gentlemen Prussians r° If they fire first their bullets may pima trate the steeples of Strasbourg or of Nancy, whilst they have at home plenty of monuments which may serve as targets for you. If you wait any longer you will have to fight not one campaign, or two campaigns, bat a der. perate war of a hundred years. And who knows what may happen ! " God protects France !" That is true, as the Emperor says, but we must help God. A remarkable pamphlet, translated from the German, has been pub lished. Its title is, " Who is the hereditary enemy of Germany ?" Its whole scope is contained in its title. In our turn we ask this question, , 4 who is hencef or th the hereditary enemy of France 1" and we answer, Prairie. The says : Is it to be wondered at that the country has no confi dence in the maintenance of peace in the face of such language? On whom rests the responsibility of this in curable want of confidence which exists throughout France in the promises of the government? Did not the officious Pays confess a few weeks back that on the eve of the campaign of 1859 it received a miniatarial ord,r to strongly deny the reports of war at the very moment when the army was preparing to march across the Alps Can we fail to remember also the superb denials which were uttered from the tribune when the opposition mem bers and journals revealed the intrigues which were going on to place the Archduke Maximilian on the throne of Mexico P Who can forget the disdainful gesture with which a minister, in reply to M. Jules Farris, declared those reports to be calumnies, and too paltry to arrest for one moment the grave assembly which listened to him The Independance Beige observes : The Constrtutioneel and the Pays are an odd pair of Siamese twins. Notwithstanding the solidarity of their interests they are, in relation to the vital question of the day, at the opposite poles of policy. When one says it is white the other maintains it is black. M. Baudrillart has undertaken the difficult task of restoring confidence by preaching peace, but the Pays would never preach war as it does if it thought that by so doing it would descend to " a friend of the second degree." THE FRENCH REPUBLIC AND THE EMPIRE. Replying to an article in La France, wherein it is stated that " Liberty went down in a sea of anarchy in 1848," and that " Napoleon 111. is the real head of the liberal party," M. E. de Girardin writes in the following bold strain in La Liberte : It liberty went down in a sea of anarchy would I, be tween 27th October and 10th December, 1848, have the right and the means of accusing, as I did, and from con viction, General Cavaignac, the head of the execu tive government, with being the real author of the days of June? Would I have the right and the means of upholding with all my might the candidature of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte for the presidency of the Republic? Would the electors who were favourable to this candidature have been allowed to meet in town and country without restriction or obstacle of any kind P Would they have dared, or would it have been possible for them, to have voted 6,500,000 against 1,300,000 P Ye ingrates, who dishonour liberty, your mother, would you, if she ceased to exist at the date you say, have been born on the 10th of December, 1848? Your birth is the proof that you lie. Offspring of liberty, you can deny your mother, insult her, strike her, bind her, but you cannot get over the fact that she brought you forth at the peril of her own life. Out of respect for yourselves, then, oease to hold a language, which, if true, would brand your origin. Cease to exalt, as you are doing in your leaders, the 2nd of December, 1861. Is it the fact that freedom of the press and liberty of meeting existed and worked after the 2nd of De cember, 1851, as they existed and worked on the 10th of December, 1848 ? Is it not the fact that on the 2nd of De cember, 1861, the most illustrious men in Prance, all without exception, were conducted to the Maras prison in vans for criminals? Awake not the past, which sleeps. Cease your blundering apologies. Provoke not recrimi nation. Waste not your talent as writers in vain and sterile efforts. Try not to glorify the past, but the future, and that not by sterile words, but by acts which may make it glorious. (TIMMS 118IITE111 AGENVY.) AMERICA. NEW YORK, Aram 28.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF JEWELLERY.—A rob bery of jewellery from a luggage van attached 0 the London and North-Western train starting from the Vic. tons Station, Manchester, for Liverpool, has created ciu siderable excitement in that city. The circumstances attending the robbery show an amount of adroitness and audacity which has been rarely equalled, and prove that some practised and experienced thieves must have been engaged in it. It appears that on Satur day night last, a commercial traveller in the employment of Mears Schwabe, jewellers, of London, went to ths Victoria Station in a cab, having with him a considerable quantity of luggage, including three large tin boxes, each weighing upwards of 1 cwt., and containing watches sol jewellery. The three boxes were paid for as elms lug ctallut no statement was made as to their conten t '' , the cabman desiring a porter named Greatorex t be careful with them, as they contained watches. Tbo carried the three boxes to the luggage van attache , ' sorter train for Liverpool, which was announced to low at 8.20. and saw them carefully deposited in the v' • The traveller took his seat in one of the carriages. " train from Yorkshire, which joins the Liverpool train at Victoria station, was from five to ten minutes behind its time, and, in consequence of this, the Liverpool train did not start until 8.43. On the arrival of the train at Liverpool, one of the boxes, containing, it is alleged. jewellery and watches worth 2,000 f. was found to be m; and, as the guard who had charge of the train states That no luggage was removed from the van after the train started from the Victoria Station until it arrived at Liverpool, the supposition is that the property must have been removed while the van was waiting the arrival of the Yorkshire train at the Victoria Station. Imme diately after the robbery was discovered, the police at Liverpool were informed of it, and a communioalion was at once forwarded to the railway and police authorities at Manchester. Detective officer Sutcliffe, who is in the employ of the London and North.
