LAW INTELLIGENCE-aHIS DAY. EQUITY COURT. (Beforo Vice-Chancellor Sir G. M. Giffaisi.) ATTORNET-GCNERAL L. IDWUNDS. Lis case was resumed to-nay. '1 he information is filed by the Attorney-General en behalf of the Crown, against Leonard Edmunds, p raying t ft.: - an account of all fees and moneys received by hhs or sic his behalf as clerk of the patents, and as clerk of the commissioners of patents. It also prays for a declaration that in tak.ug the acoomt the defendant ought to account for all profits made by the purahase and re-sale of chimps, Lid that he was not entitled to make any deduction in respect of the parchment used in the prepara tion of any document issued by him as clerk of the patents, or from the office of patents. By an act passed In the year 18M (2 and 3 W. 4, cap. Ill) the office of clerk of the patents was abolished, on and from the 2.)th of August, 1b33 ; and by another act passed is the same year the clerk of the patents was authorised to receive " for the use and on account of the Lord Chan cellor," the fees which had been accustomed to be paid to Liss. By a statute passed in 18:;:3 (3 and 4W. 4, c. 84) it was enacted that from and after the 20th of August, 1833, there should be paid to the clerk of the patents the yearly sum of 400/., and it wee de clared that the said salary should be taken "in full satisfaction for the duties of your ottice, and of all ex penses incident to the performance thereof." It was also provided that the customary fees payable to the officer, or to any deputy or clerk m respect of such o ffi ce, might be received by the person who should perform the duties of the cape of clerk of the patents, and should be accounted for onoe in every three months, and verified on oath. On the 29th of August, IttAt, Mr. Edmunds, who was then purse-bearer to the Lord Chancellor, and secretary tai presentations, wee by sign manu al are jointed to the office of clerk of the patents, and so continued until his resignation in July 1804. ice information alleged that it was the defendant's d Ity to have received the customary foes anciently paid • the clerk of the entente and pay them in quarterly T ut affidavit — some into the Exchequer, others to the .ta; _et:int-General of the Court of Chancery • but th at t ', I :lemma on account of these fees were insu fficient and In 1834 he commenced the practice of lour s from the Stamp-office large quantities of •;...ems, on which the commissioners of stamps :....tee him an allowance. These stamps when re ed in the office were afterwards paid for in full by the pet sots requiring letters patent, and these differences Mr. had retained, and claimed to be entitled to re trio, for Lie own use. He also had retained, and claimed to re entitled to retain, out of the fees received by him as cl,•ris of the patents, the sum of 12s. 10d. for every skin of parchment on which any document had been engrossed oy Liu: as clerk of the patents since the 31st December, ')-44. In 11 , 12 the Patent Law Amendment Act was passed. and in the same year Mr. Edmunds was appointed -oder the statute to be clerk to the commissioners of of patents, at a salary of tinot. per annum. Mr. :Aimee& by his answer first of all demurs to the ..risdirtion ' and says that the proper court to try the case :s the Court of Exchequer. He then says that, when he appointed in 1433, the office of clerk of the patents u..s performed by deputy, or by a clerk acting for such de- Mr. Buboes, who continued to act as such clerk, and whs. actually received the fees. The Exchequer fees and :hers he paid into a separate account kept by him with Ce...tts awl Co , called by him "The Patent Office Ac ..L..0t," however, was considered by and treated ty him as his own private account. He says there if no provision in the act for the deli .try and audit of the three monthly accounts, and • defence practically comes to this, that he repeatedly t-ied to get an audit of these accounts, and failed to do so. • o. his own convenience he opened the account atCoutts's, under no obligation to keep a separate, or, indeed, ..ray account. Its existence was unknown to anyone but I..e.self, and be regarded it in an, other light than .• own. In some respects it was a private account, yet • "of the nature of a public account. As to the naps " ~uestion, he says that his predecessors have • 'says been in the habit of purchasing the stamps re ..al by the patentees beforehand, being allowed a die -o..nt of 1 per cent. This allowance is made by the Stamp. .* to the purchaser as a remuneration for his trouble, ..c.c: .also for the risk he undergoes in the conveyance of Ley through the streets in cash, in the keeping of the •• oips which are liable to destruction, and in the cense :.or. by clerks from patentees. This amount he claims to • ,tstly and lawfully entitled to. He says that from -• to 1 , 14 the discount moneys on stamps were &ppm ; r.ated be his direction in payment of the expenses of parchment, and engroesmente. In 18-14 the amount so .tt.t:.ed dil not suffice to cover the expense of the parch ments and engroesments, and for a time he made the pay. .etts out of his own pocket. Subsequently, however, •t. kmking into the act of 1833, be found he •4.1 paid for the coats of the parchment and •ct sngro.sing of the patents "in his own wrong ;" and that time be deducted this expense from his pay. .r.• rite to the Exchequer. After 1849 no discount was wed on stamps to the amount of 101. and upwards, and patent stamps ; but when by the act of 15.13 .t...aps on patents were reduced, the question was re ..•ed, and the demand for stamps being very great, he (n:. Edmunds) on the 23rd of August, 1853, drew • sue. ue of :40/. on the " patent office account" (:1301. for and 130/. for disbursements). He main :..AA that he had • right to do this, as the account w..s his own • but even it had be en strictly a account', it was the same thing to the I..elic whether the money (considered as public money) was in the bank, or lying in the shape of stamps in the office. As to the " parchments " question, he maintains that the very costly items, consisting of the *large, for the illuminated or ornamented paranieuts wheieou the patents were engrossed, ..1.31 the cost of the Oluaniental text band engross. =cuts, were never treated as expenses " incidental to the performance of the duties of the office." He Las Lo doubt the fee was originally as much as a guinea on each patent, and the o ffi cer would always de duct it from his payments into the Exchequer. He, Mu.self, however , paid them out of his own pocket until when the number of patents increased so greatly that trier g iayidents actually exceeded his salary of 4001. • year. He has thus, before 1845, over-paid into the Exchequer if. 10a. He says that, instead of being indebted to the Crow o, it will be found that he is entitled to receive ;Ipwar.h. of 7,0001. from the Exchequer. In the course of the opening, it was arranged that the t er points of principle, namely, the jurisdiction question, the question of the stamps and that of the 12s. 10th. for ars hmeitte should be discussed at once, all others being de:erred till after the taking of the amounts. The Attorney-General (Sir J. B. Kerslake, Q..(`.), who, with sir &Palmer, Q.C.,andMr.Wickens, supports thein ;erination, said that although it appeared from the plead ,cgs and was notorious that proceedings of a different ..x.d frost the present hadbeen taken against Mr. Edmunds, ts• h..d not a word to say as to that. All he had to show • teat Mr. Edmunds was a debtor to the crown. He .--..... _ th-e. primeeded to read the evidenoe in support. Mr. I.r. Seymour, 11.1: ' and Mr. Risottos read the • vrilence in defence, which was directed to three pointer— '. That Mr. Edmunds's conduct was in conformity with tLe .sage of public o ffi ces, especially this office ; 2. That ti.- •••....nips were bought, not out of public money ; and •:. Teat the practice was attended with great pecuniary born tit to the public. Toe Attorney-General then commented on the case. He t the principle upon which Mr. Edmunds had prtAreded, which was this with a sum of money be nought a number of stamps in advance; getting an allow- Anc-. With the payments which be afterwards obtained it lull fur these stamps from the patentees he bought ethers, getting an allowance ; and so on. Hut be was quite silent as to where he got the original sum of 3501. with which he commenced buying tire stamps he kept in stock. He maintained that the accounts At Contts's was in all respects a public account , and it was in vain to say that the 500 f. cheque WAS :a temporary loan, for it did not appear the money was ever returned. As to the 13. 10d., he maintained it was covered by the salary of 4001. There were no other ex penses but these engrosaments, and why should the offioe lay out so much as 12s. 103. on each of these parchment! Sir R. Palmer, Q.C., on the same side, quoted two eases at tie question of jurisdiction, which, /Ai said, was clear. Mr. Edmunds was in a fiduciary position, and nothing could be clearer in equity than that a trustee could not make a profit of his trust. That he was a trustee for the r. ;him made no difference. He seemed to have been under the strange hallucination that because be did (what was pe, teal right) place these moneys to a separate account, he could deal with them as he pleased. In other words at 11 , ` WAS entitled to this reward for his skill in meeting thy requirements of his office and his risk in being without 9.c,i.1 s,nthority. But before he 'sued this question of Licated, self-adjusted, self-allowed remuneration for a • .If.,uquoed risk, he should have sought the Authority L Ihe Vice-Chancellor asked whether the case was in dtd to be put on any other ground than in dealing with Sic moneys. • t:. Palmer said the theory of the information wag • • • Sir. Edmunds was liable as having misappropriated •vy which was public money. As to the " parchments" • ...stun, if it were the fact that Mr. Edmund's • ~.)• VAS consumed by his payments, he should • • •• gene to his employers, and told them that the o ffi ce ••...• tot worth holding, and that no one could be got to .it toe •luties at such a pries ; and a change mast have in kis position. Either his employers would told him that the 10s. Sd. fee was unnecessary, • r :Le v would have obtained =amended act of parliament. ens statute of It:i4 was considered, it was plain that s, among the expenses incident to the performance • duties of the office. . Dixby Seymour, Q.C.. for Mr. Edmunds, coin .s. ed his address on behalf of the plaintiff this morning. _ i.e case will probably last the day. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. .n Beass.—(Before Lord Child Justice Bovill sad Judi*, Willas and Bad& ) APPLICATION PON AN INJUNCTION. field, Q.C., on behalf of Mr. Charles S. Dickinson, ...ad ?o u r dealer at Lincoln, akiplied for a ride calling eou the Manchester and Lincolnshire Railway Company iv lUD Kai why o writ of injunction should not issue to restrain *cm from granting asp sine% preference to other millers and flour dealers over elm coomplainant. The affidavit stated that the railway Mel pow charged the com plainant for the carnage of Sour to Manchester and : t h k i l i rgeerslaces west ofThey She 12s. 6d. per ton. the same sum to others, but to Medlars. Keyworth and Seeley and to Mr. Ludyard they allowed a rebate upon this sum of ltt. 6d., and they allowed Mr. Ludyard, in ad. dition, 6d. a ton for muting his flour to the Attica. Upon Mr. Dickinson aomplaining, they agreed to allow him the 6d. a ton, and also a rebate of Is. 3d. a ton, but it bad been intimated that the 6d. would in future be disallowed. The learned counsel said that it would possibly turn out that the company had spacial agreements with Meters. Keyworth ands Seely, and Mr. Ludyard, that they should be charged leas in consideration of their sending not less than • certain quantity of Sour; but still it could not be judged until the company produced it whether this agreement was a , reasonable one. The Lord Chief Justice said that as to the sixpence for cartage it would be time to come to the court when the company had actually ceased to allow it ; and u to the rebate, there ought to have been made on the company • demand stating specifically what was complained of, so that the company might have an opportunity of showing whether they bad any good answer. Mr. Field said that with the permission of the court he would apply to them again with amended affidavits. Rule refused. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) EIRT C. BOVTINEZ, FALSELY CALLED RIILT—SENTENCE. la this case the Torpoodeot had contracted a Gretna Green marriage with a Belgian named Eugene Adolphe Boutinez (otherwiseßouliny). They afterwards went to Belgium, and re•married there ; but ale second marriage was annulled by mutual consent in the court at Brussels ; and the respondent was then married to Mr. Birt. A question now arose whether this third marriage was not void on the ground of bigamy, Boutinez being Mall li Sir g. J. Wilde said that as the Scotch marriage did not appear to have been in any way impugned before the Belgian court no question could arise as to its validity ; nor could there be any doubt as to the right of the peti tioner to a decree of nullity. Decree accordingly. !BATMAN C. YEATMIII, DEMPSEY, AND BLACKBURN. In this case, in which the petitioner had failed to establish his suit, The court condemned him in the costs of the co respondent Blackburn. POLICE COURTS.-(THIS DAY.) MANSION HOUSE. A GERMAN SWINDLER. Witham Lauoi , , who described himself as a butcher, was charged before Alderman Sir Robert Carden with being concerned with two other men in 'Winne 81. from Ignatz Willi., carpenter, a gold watch from George Bach, painter, and Gs. from John Kaistoak, labourer. The prosecutors were young men who have recently arrived in this country from Germany, and reside at Inn-court, Upper East Smithfield. Ignatz Weiss gave the following evidence through an inP terpreter—On last Saturday week I went out for a walk with two friends, and when we came back the prisoner, who said he was a countrymen of ours, and two other men invited us into a publichouse to have a glass of ale. We went in and the prisoner then commenced to play with three cards—two black and one red—with one of his friends and won a handful of what I thought were notesand *old. Prisoner then invited me to play, and I lost 81. ss. in French, English, and American money. I put card, m money on the red and when I took it up it was black and I lost. (Laughter.) The prisoner took up the money. I lost each time. I bad the money in a belt, which was tied round my waist. I gave the belt to one of my friends, who went into another apartment and took out the money for me. When I had lost it all prisoner said, - Sit down, wait awhile and I will go and fetch some cigars." He then left and I did net see him again till yesterday mo when I gave him into custody. He ash! he was an En* • an, and did not know what I meant. lily two friends also played with him and one lost a watch and the other fie. In reply to the chief clerk witness said prisoner's friend looked at the cards, and he believed, marked them. Sir Robert Carden said the practice was for the pri soner's friend to shuffle the cards, and pretend to show the victim the winning card. The prosecutor's two friends were examined, and gave similar evidence. Mr. Partridge, the gaoler, said he believed the prisoner was well known. Sir Robert Carden said he would remand him for further inquiry. The prosecutors said they had to leave London to morrow morning. . . Sir Robert Carden said he would be sorry to prevent any German leaving London. They might go, and he wished they could take the prisoner with them. UILDHALL. OONVItTION OP IMPOITOR4. _lbws Thompson and Emma Williamson, two respect ably-dressed women living at 5, Henrietta - street, South ampton-street, Camberwell, were charged before 'Alderman Causton, with obtaining money by false pretence's., Mr. Beard defended the prisoners. Mr. William Clemente, of 96, Wood-rtreet, Chespoide, stationer, said about two months since the prisoners cams to himand asked him to help their case in connection with the lilies Asylum, at the same time presenting the card of , a candidate. He told them he did not subscribe to that institution., and was sorry he could not help them. They then stated that the subscription was only half a guinea. Sympathising with them for the trouble they were taking, he said he would subscribe if they would send the collector to him. They asked him to let them pay it in themeelves and he consented to do so, and gave them the money. lie expected in due time to have received the proxy for the subscription, and they were to have the benefit of it, but he did not see them again till yesterday, when he was sent for to the office of the asylum, and, on his speaking to the prisoners concerning their visit, they asserted that the money had been given to them on behall of A woman named Anderson, who remunerated them for their trouble. }.llen Anderson said she was a widow living at No. 7, George-street, South-street, Long-lane, Borough. The prisoners went to her about four months ago, and told her that a gentleman who had taken a great deal of interest in her case was ill, but they, as ladies, would take her case up for her. She gave them two cards, and went to three gentlemen with them to get proxies. She never went to Wood-street with them. They never paid her any money except for one day's work she did for them when they first called on her. They sent her four proxies which they had obtained for her. She gave them authority to obtain proxies fiat her, but not money. Detective Sergeant Bull d that both the prisoners re fused to give their addresi. Mr. C. Hillhouse, 19, Finsbury-pavement, and Mr. C. Garland, a wine merchant of 2s, Billiter-street, also de posed to having given to prisoners proxies for Anderson. John William Horaford, an officer of the Blendicity Society proved that Williamson had been brought ntt: thismale of living from her childhood. She had tre moiths from the Mansion-house in November, 1839, under the Vagrant Act, three months from this court in August, Is4s), and three months more in February, 1865. William Hewett, another mendicit officer, mid he knew Thompson as the emaciate of W . for years. Alderman Causton convicted each of the prisoners in two offences under the Vagrant Act, and sentenced them each to three months' imprisonment with bard labour for each offence. THB MURPHY DISTURBANCES AT OLDHAM. The energetic action of the police on Monday prevented any serious riots from taking place, and with the exception of the attack upon Bank Top Roman Catholic Chapel, and the breaking of some windows in the dwelling houses of Irish people, no damage was done. A large crowd went to St. Marie's - Chapel, the principal building belong ing to the Roman oatholics in Oldham ; but • body of polio. was already stationed at the place, and succeeded in beep ing the mob at a safe distance. One of the priests (Father Wrennall), being seen coming towards the chapel, was ' booted and stoned ; but he succeeded in getting out of the way in safety. Two Irishmen, named Patrick (Man and James Mularchy, were apprehended by the police. They were both armed, one with • poker and another with a bludgeon, at the end of which a quantity of sheet lead was fastened by copper nails. It was stated that, with other Irishmen, they had thus armed themselves in order to defend their places of worship. The disorder appears to have arisen out of • bad feeling engendered by Mar. phyisur and a hatred of Fenianiam. Inst night Oldham was In a state of great excitement, and the crowd of people in the market place about 8 o'clock numbered some thousands. It speedily augmented. and about half-past 8 • move was made towards. kit. Marie's Catholic Chapel, but • body of police stationed near the place kept rioters back until the arrival of • number of special constables, when, though not dispersed, the mob was kept beyond harm's way. No arms ap peared to be in the hands of the crowd, and but very few atones were thrown. The rioters appear to be mostly factory lads, and there seemed to be no system of organi sation amongst them. About 90 constables were sworn in, and they were nearly all called out about 9 o'clock. " Theodorus et Juarez " is the title of a pamphlet which has just appeared in Paris. It is a comparison • between the Mexican and Abyssinian expeditions. The publication is intended to demonstrate how muds of the last triumph of British arms was due to the patriotic feeling of the country and the moral support given by the whole of the nation to the enterprise, whilst the failure of the French expe dition was due to the utter ahem's of " those valuable qualities which England so pre-eminently poesseees." Yes," exclaims the writer, " the English have this in oonteetable raperievity over us—namely, that of tenaciously insisting OKI their Lag being respected wherever it goes." ' • _ THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 27, SECOND EDITION. THE DERBY DAY. "THE ROAD" THIS MORNING. ANOTHER NE N' THEATRE. The Strand Music-hall, which wen probably one of *0 most unlucky and akort-lived of all our London pleas of amusement, after being closed for many months, offered for sale under the wind ing-up acts more than once, and looked at but not purchased by persons in search of •synagogne, has bean bought by a gentleman of enterprise and capi tal for a new London theatre. Many changes will of course have to be made in the building, both internally and externally, and, above all, it will be ' wise for the new proprietor to give it leas the air of a country grammar school than it has at present. The interior of the building will probably be enlarged by the purchase of some adjacent property, giving the house greater breadth as a theatre than it possessed as a music hall. The work of reconstruction will begin about the same time as the building of the new Lyons-inn Theatre in Newcastle-street, and it will be curious to see which house will be opened first. Both these theatres will have the advantage of a Strand front age, as the south side of Holywellstnret is con demned, and the north side of that street will ultimately be the north side of the Strand from St. Mary's to St. Clement's church. The New Strand Theatre, it is almost needless to say, stands chiefly on the site of old Exeter Change, being bounded on one side by Wellington-street, and on the other by Catherine-street. For many years past each succeeding "Derby Day " has been looked forward to with increasing interest, not alone by the sporting public, but by that far more numerous class which looks with indifference upon all other events connected with the turf. " The Derby," on the present occasion, seems to have been regarded with more than ordinary interest, not from the la/vises, of the " field," or any extraordinary ellence in the horses entered for the race, but from cir cumstances connected with the favourite, Lady Elizabeth, and her owner, which have recently attracted public notice. This being a gloriously bright and thoroughly English May morning, the road presented more than its usual bustle and excitement on the Derby Day. " The road," as it is commonly called, may be said to commence at the Ele phant and Castle, Kennington, for at this point the streams of vehicular traffic from the City and the northern, eastern, and south-eastern dis tricts of the metropolis converge. Long before daybreak the road was thronged with pedes trians of all descriptions, wending their way to Epsom. Among the motley groups were, as usual, the vendors of paper flowers, fan- tactic dolls, false whiskers and noses, and " krect cards of the races," proprietors of Aunt Sallies and " three sticks a penny," members of the pea and thimble fraternity, and the hundreds of nondescript beings who appear only called into existence on Derby days. Beguiling their weary march by shouting, singing, and all sorts of indescribable noises, they effectually mur dered the sleep of the unfortunate inhabitants of houses on the route. By 7 o'clock in the morning the neighbourhood of " the Elephant," and the footways along the Kennington and Clapham roads were lined with people while the windows of the houses were fi lled with gaily-dressed ladies and children. By the aid of numerous companies of " nigger" melodista, the strains of German bands, and no lack of what is called " chaff," an hour passed merrily and quickly away, until 8 o'clock, when the arrival of vehicles of every description, laden with pas sengers, crowded the road, and from 8 until 11 o'clock there was one unoeasing stream. Notwithstanding the large number of spectators and the crowded state of the road, no seriour accident occurred, and nothing beyond the occa sional break-down of some over-loaded ricketty van, or the obstinate refusal of some broken winded horse to carry his load any further, occurred to interrupt the traffic. THE RAIL. Notwithstanding the attractions of the road the increasing popularity of the journey to Epsom by rail was manifest this morning. Commencing with the early cheap trains—conveying the police to keep order, and vendors of various commulities—the traffic rid the Brighton and South Western lines was conducted with wonderful rapidity throughout ot the day. While the former company of the " only route" to the " Downs station," the "short and direct route to Epsom" is the attrac tion offered by the latter ; and although the more fashionable visitors proceed from Waterloo, the number of persons booking seems to be equally divided between the two lines. Up to 9.15 a.m. the cheap trains from London-bridge were despatched in rapid succession—subsequent to which the " specials " were started as fast as the occupants of the several compartments were seated. That was a work occupying but little time, and meanwhile the trainsdestined for " the town " were being filled in another part of the station. Up to 12 o'clock there was a constant stream pouring in at London bridge, with every probability of its con tinuing till the departure of the last fast train at 2 p.m. The cheap trains also continued to run from the Waterloo terminus to 9.15, ten in all being despatched. From that time till past 12 Waterloo-bridge was lined with cabs and carriages conveying fashionably dressed persons to the station, and no less than fourteen " spe cials " had been started at that hour. The train leaving Waterloo at 11.40, conveyed his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, Prince Teck, the Duke of Cambridge, the Duchess of Richmond, and a distinguished party, an ordinary first-class carriage being provided for them. THE COURSE. We learn from Epsom this morning that an im mense concourse of persons has assembled to witness the great struggle for the blue riband of the turf, and that as regards the numbers present, the gaiety of the scene presented, and the interest in the chief event of the day's carnival, the Derby of 1868 will be as memorable as any of its predecessors.

Limited supplies of wheat were received fresh up to the market this morning, but the bulk of the samples same to hand in tolerably good condition. In both red and white parcels, the transactions were much restricted at Monday's decline in the quotations. The show of foreign wheat wu good. Very little busi ness was passing in any descriptions at the late reduction. Floatini s cargoes of wheat were dull and drooping. In other kin d, of produce afloat, saes progressed slowly. Barley moved off slowly oo former terms. The supply was moderate. Malt was in fair supply and sluggish request at previous Notations. Oats were firm i value with a moderate demand. Beans and peas were inactive, at late currencies. Flour was dull, at about previous prices. Heeds were quiet, and cakes moved off slowly. fY WATER 1.868. MONEY MARKET.-(T711.9 DA Y.) oPIE O'CLOCK. As usual on the Derby day there is a very thin lattendance of members on the Stock Exchange, and the amount of busfbees is comparatively limited. Nevertheless, the tune of most of the markets is very firm, owing to a preponderance of purchases. Consols are still in especial request, and exhibit a further advance of Ito per cent. As regards foreign bonds, attention is chiefly directed to Italian, Peru vian of 1865, and Turkish of 1865, which are again better.

MILL, M.P., UPON THE RII.HTB OF " PERSONb." —The following letter from Mr. J. Stuart Mill, M.P., was read at a meeting of the American Equal RhOts Association, held at New York on the 15th : " Avignon, Aprill4,lB6B.—Dear Madam,—l have bad the pleasure of receiving your letter of the gird alt. I beg to •ampiress not only my earnestwishes, but my emaldent hopes for the success of the efforts which the American Ameociation for Equal Rights is carrying en to obtain the full rights of citizeip fee every subject of the United States, and emporia for that moiety of the nation who, though the disqualifica tion of difference and ram and blood cannot ha ;liltin their case, are denied a voice in those interests which concern them in the moo manner and in the same degree as the other moiety. In this coun try the political enfranchisement of women is leaning ground rapidly in public opinion and if she cause is thus prospering in the old country, which has never yet pro fessed to 'ironed its political institutions on principles el equal justice, but chieflyon historical precedent, how much more ought it to prosper in the United States, the very foundation of whose institutions is the equality ef all human beings in the eye of the law, and of the con stitution, and who proclaimed that great devotion in the memorable document by which they first attested ' their exinteles es a nation. There is no true democracy where huge classes of the community are denied equality of political rights. Every government which perma nently divides its people with a governing part and • governed part is an aristocratic government, by whatever name it may be called, and I am oonvinoed that the people of the United States of both political parties are capable of . secing this, and attached as they both are to the general principles of democratic government, only need a perse vering appeal to their reason and good feelings to induce them to free their constitution from the remains of the old system of privileged orders and arbitrary disqualifica tions. I am. dear Madam, lADOSTSI7 and respectfully yours, J. S. MILL.—Mrs. Lucy Stone."

We read in the Oirt:—" An unpleaalnt (mare timps, which might have been attended with oonsequences more or less serious, occurred in the House of Commons during the division on the second reading of Mr. Glad stone's Suspensory Bill. An English nobleman, holding official position, was understood by the representative of an important Irish constituency to apply to him an obser vation equally offensive and uncalled for. It was impos sible at the moment, from a combination of circumstances, to resent the supposed insult. The following day, how ever, a correspondenoe peremptory in its character com menced. Mutual friends, also members of the Lower House, interfered, and an explanation, eminently sails factory, at least to the aggrieved commoner, was brought about."

The night of the 3rd of April last, when Mr. Gladstone's resolutions were taken into consideration, deserves he says, to be henceforth counted among the remarkable dates of history. It recalls the memory of that other night, more memorable still, now 80 years ago, when a mortal blow wee given to the slave trade, which be declares to be hardly less iniquitous than the establish. meat in Ireland. lrn~' .tNn CHINA MAILS.-111ES8INA, MAY 27.

HOTEL ROIBEEILIEti. —Home further correspon , deuce has appeared with referent* to hotel robberies. Yr. A. W. Bidduiph, writing from Arthur's Club, contends that Isadlords do not take proper precautions to ascertain the character of their customers, and insure the safety of their guest'sproperty. It is tree that, according to his ' license, a lan_d is compelled to afford shaker to all who solicit it, if it be in his power to do so; but it is easy for a landlord to get an inkling of the character of his customers, and magistrates would justify him in disregarding the terms of his Booms if his object were to maintain the reepectablity of hie bow. A. to the protection of his customers property, the landlord ought to employ detectives, who being aorinainted with the most notorious of the light-Angered fraternity would either give them a friendly warning not to enter, or if they had obtained an entrance, woad keep an eye on their movements.
