THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 25, 1869. ; LS SIIIT - • I 4 royalty must now be borne by those young shoulders. A few hours later there gathered together in that quaint, ugly palace which bad been her childhood's home the Prime Minister (Lord MELBOURNE) and more than a hundred peers, who came to swear allegiance. The first to sign it was the Duke of CUMBERLAND. He came to do homage to the crown won, and yet in him the QUEEN saw a crown lost. For more than a hundred years the Crowns of Eng land and Hanover had been worn by the same persons. But Hanover would not be ruled by a woman, and so for the first time since the accession of the House of BRUNSWICK the Crowns were to be separated, and the Duke of CUMBERLAND was to take the lesser one. We cannot help speculating as to what would have been the result if this had not happened. Would BISMARCK have cast his covetous eyes upon the Electorate if the Queen of ENGLAND had also been Electress of HANOVER ? Would he have won the battle of Langensalza if he had had to encounter not only British troops but a British navy ? Would he have . fGublit, it ? However that may be, greet were the rejoicings at the termination of the old union. It had never been popular in England from the time that the English courtiers, who knew no German, were compelled to translate into Latin for the benefit of the first GEORGE, who knew no English, the directions for the coronation in the Abbey nearly a century and a quarter before. As for the new made Queen, she may well have felt that her duties as Sovereign over the British islands, over half of India, and over the colonial empire, which was vast even then, were sufficient for her, and that to be spared the exposure to continental collisions which her govern ment of the German State might have involved was a real relief. " The awful responsibility" she said, at her first council, " is imposed upon me so suddenly, and at so early a period of my life, that I should feel myself utterly oppressed by the burden, were I not sustained by the hope that the Divine Providence which has called me to this work will give me strength for the performance of it, and that I shall find in the purity of my intentions, and zeal for the public welfare that support and those resources which usually belong to a more mature age and long ex perience." The next day there was a formal procla mation of the QUEEN'S accession at St. James's Palace, and among the most vigorous to cheer her, conspicuous even in that enthusiastic crowd, was a man destined afterwards to give her no little trouble—DANlEL O'CoNNELn, the "Liberator." Then came the dissolution which always follows the demise of the Crown; a useless arrangement now, since the Sovereign no longer chooses her advisers, but has them chosen for her by the popular voice. Mr. DISRAELI has described in his cleverest novel how TAPER and TADPOLE, in want of a " cry " for the hustings, hit upon " Our young Queen and our old institutions." In spite of their cry, TAPER and TALPOLE did not prosper. The young QUEEN had a strong partiality for the Whigs. Their leader, Lord MELBOURNE, had been her guide, philosopher, and friend. A little later, when the great bed-chamber controversy arose, and Sir ROBERT PEEL could not form a Ministry because he could not ' reorganise the QUEEN'S Ladies i,n Waiting, it became the fashion of the Conservative party to denounce the QUEEN with as much vehemence as the former denouncers of O'CONNELL, are now demanding the repeal of the Union. A little later a conciliator appeared in the person of a youth, strikingly handsome, and very accomplished, though not a bit of a Tory. This youth became, while still under age, the husband of the QUEEN, and it was he who, in great measure, taught her to suppress all political partialities, and to shew equal graciousness to both the two great parties in the State. In 1817 it really seemed as if heirs to the throne would die out. GEORGE 111. had had a numerous family; yet he had seen but one grandchild grow up to adolescence, and she was then lying dead, with her dead baby by her side. Twenty three years later all fear on that score was set at rest by the news that the QUEEN expected to give birth to an heir. In nine months from the time of her mirriage she saw her firstborn, and within a year of the daughter's birth she gave birth to the son who has now grown up to sec four children of his own, besides nephews and nieces past counting. That England will want an heir of the House of Brunswick seems humanly impossible, at all e:•ents within any such period as monarchical government is likely to continue. But though the QUEEN has this consolation, it cannot make up to ber for the loss which has darkened the last seven years of her life. She has not lost one of her children—only one of her children's children has died ; but death has taken him who was not only husband, but guide and counsellor, him whom she might address in terms as touching as those with which ANDROMACHE bade farewell to HECTOR. It is under these circumstances that the QUEEN has withdrawn in great part from public life. She still performs the duties which none but the Sovereign can perform ; but those which any member of the Royal house can fulfil, and which can, perhaps, be better performed by one who is young in years, she has transferred to her son. It is under throe circumstances that the QUEEN spends her fiftieth birthday in seclusion among the Highlands. It is under these circumstances that the Royal jubilee year will pass unmarked by fitting fes tivities, and probably forgotten by the great bulk of the QUEEN'S subjects. A court-martial assembled on board her Majesty's ship Duke of Wellington yesterday morning for the trial of Mr. Benjamin Freeman, engineer of the Warrior, on a charge of being drunk on board the ship on the 30th of April. The Court was composed of Captains Courtenay, Lord Lilford, Wilmshurst, Lacey, Godenough, and Lethbridge, with the assistance ,of Mr. G. lloskins, the officiating Judge-Advocate. Captain B )ys prosecuted, and Mr.. Harvey, of Portsea, appeared as the prisoner's " friend." The prisoner, in his defence, denied the charge, and alleged that his excitable appearance was attribu table to the fact that be had just found some money orders for a considerable amount which he thought he had lost. The Court, however, considered the charge proved, and adjudged him to lose three years' seniority, to be dismissed the ship, and severely reprimanded. AFRICAN EXPLORATION.—Miss Alexandre Tinne the Dutch lady who became so well known a few years ago as an African explorer, has, according to letters re ceived at Malta Tripoli, reached Mourzouk in safety, and abig of the Tarouks to escort her and her numerous retinue to the starting post of th, annual caravan for Soudan. Miss Tinne recently imparted into Barbary a velocipede of the latest Parisian manufacture; but finding it not adapted for the sands of the Great Desert, she presented it to the Pasha of Tripoli. AN IMMENSE Fisu.---On Saturday last, while some fishermen were crossing that portion of land in Lin colnshire known as the " Wash," which has very recently been flooded from the very heavy rains that have fallen, they noticed a very large fish opposite the vicarage atCo w bit, a village on the border of this huge lake. They at once set to work and succeeded in capturing an immense stur geon, over eight feet and a half in length, and weighing more than 14 stones. They were unable to manage it, and it had consequently to be shot. It was carted to Spalding and there exhibited—thoowners, who are only poor fisher men, clearing a very handsome amount by thei exhibition. It is many years since so large a fish has been discovered in that direction. SHIELDS, Monday Evening.—The weather has undergone a pleasant change on the north coast to-day. Tho wind is well round from the west, and there is a con siderable rise of temperature. The wintry chills and north-east winds which have lingered so long into the month of kitty seem to be gone. Alendelssohn's "Elijah" will be given for the 11st Vino this season, at Exeter-hall, by the National Choral Society, on Wednesday, June 2. Miss Arabella Smyth, Miss Palmer, Mr. G.

August Siegrist, a young rope-walkert rode on a velocipede over al-in. rope, 220 ft. long, at an elevation of 20ft. above the lake, in the City Gardens of San Fran cisco. A high wind was blowing at the time, and endea vours were made to persuade him todefer the experiment, but without success. The wheels of the machine were grooved, but at the first trial he fell into the water, but the second time he rode across. On the 29th ult., at Boston, Master John Reardon is reported to have driven a velo cipede over a rope, the wheels being grooved. He went back and forwards several times. THE IRISH CHURCH. The Globe takes up the question, " What will the Lords do with the Irish Church Bill ? " Our contemporary raises it " not for the purpose of definitely anticipating the course which the Upper House of Legislature will take, but in the conviction that the circumstances under which the measure comes before the Peers, and the relation in which they stand to the actual Government of this great empire, have not received precisely the right sort of con sideration." The Lords, we are told, " have to cast a balance between the arguments which may be urged against the bill, and the incidental pheno mena from which its upholders mainly derive their strength. That balance they will cast in a spirit of conscientious solicitude for the abid ing welfare of the country. They are most critically placed, and should be protected from the insolence of dictation and the terror of irrelevant con sequences. They will decide this case, we may be quite sure, in no narrow party interest, and under the bias of no short-sighted excitement. They will raise themselves to a lofty height, where, free from the petur bations of current controversy, always too much em bittered by class prejudice or political passion, they may be able to exercise the noblest of all attributes—that of a perfectly judicial statesman4iip." The Echo says :--" It is quite certain that the ITOuse of Lords has not yet made up its mind what to do with the Irish Church Bill- Not the most extreme section hopes to save the Irish Establishment, but they would, if they could, talk the measure into next year." LONDON, TUESDAY, MAY 25, 1869. The difference between the habitual and the pro fessional criminal, it may seem, at a superficial glance, is rather difficult to define. The defini tion of that difference may, to put it in other words, appear to involve a very nice distinction. It will be recognized, however, after a moment's con sideration, that there is a readily traceable line of demarcation between those two offenders against the law. The habitual criminal so called may after all— supposing him to have been already twice or thrice convicted—a criminal quite casua'ly, as one may say, or by acci lent— a criminal, to put it otherwise, simply by yielding to temptation. His antecedents, apart from the offences brought home to him, may admit of the keenest examination. D,stitution or evil company may have led him to his first offence, may lead him to the repetition of it once, or twice, or even more frequently. The professional criminal is alto gether different. Spawned in the midst of crime and squalor—" dragged up," rather than " brought up," to apply to them with peculiar force the pathetic remark made by CHARLES LAMB in regard to the children of the very poor—nurtured on the fruits of felony—tutored, in the use of language, from their earliest years by thieves' slang, intermingled with perpetual oaths and blasphemies—these professional criminals, the roughs of our towns, the tramps on our highways, prey upon the rest of the community, not intermittently, not accidentally, but sytematically and by rule. They are known here in Lon don every man of them, every woman, boy, and girl—to the police of the metro polis—known by name, or rather by names, for they are prolific in the alias—known by form and face —known in all their haunts and habits. The difference, to speak familiarly, is not that be tween six and half-a-dozen, but that between chalk and cheese. It is a distinction, moreover, that it is now most incum bent upon the Legislature we should have as clearly and as rapidly defined as possible. And for this simple reason, that, within a very few days, the Habitual Criminals Bill will be formally brought under discussion in Parliament. The very title of that measure is its principal flaw —it is the " head and front of its offending." The suppression of syste matic crime by more stringent penalties—that is the main object of the intended enactment. It is a pur pose, in the reasonableness of which we can all of us very heartily sympathise. But the designation of the bill is—after what has here been just now remarked-- quite clearly and obviously a misnomer. What is meant by that title is in reality far rather the Profes sional Criminals Bill than the Habitual Criminals Bill. In any case, the distinction ought to be more clearly defined than it is, both in the heading and in the body of the bill itself. Otherwise, there will be immi nent ri-k through it of a miscarriage of justice. What we are here insisting upon has been very clearly and emphatically set forth by the learned Recorder of Portsmouth in his recent charge to the Grand Jury. " The promoters of the bill," said Mr. Sergeant Cox, " made a great mistake, because, contrary to the experience of those whose duty it was to administer the law, it assumed that the habitual was necessarily a professional thief.' Speaking as a Middlesex Magistrate, he said that his experience, when presiding over the Session of that county, bad demonstrated to him that out of all those tried before him, there, only one-fifth could be classed as professional criminals. How preju dichlly the proposed Bill would be likely to act in regard to the Eon-professional class of criminals the learned Sergeant thus signific Intly shadowed forth—" If," said be to the grand jury of Ports rth_uth, speaking in his judicial capacity as Recorder, " a person was brought before them—whither man, woman, or child—who could not be regarded as a professional thief, but who, it turned out, had been thrice previously convicted, he was quite sure that when it was known that a less punish ment than seven years' penal servitude could not be awarded, there would be a great objection to prosecute, there would be a greater reluctance on the part of juries to convict, and there would be a still greater reluctance on the part of a judge to pass a sentence which was altogether uncalled for by the nature and circumstances of the case."

FIFTY years ago this week there was born an infant who, though " only a girl," was destined to sit on one of the most illustrious thrones in the world. Two years before that the nation had been plunged into the most profound grief by the sudden death of the Princess who was looked upon as the future Queen of Zngland. That death led to three royal marriages. The fruit of one of them was the child whofirst saw light in Kensington Palace, May 24, 1819. There was trouble in store for the babe. Before she was a year old she lost her father, after a few days' illness. The death of EDWARD Duke of Kent was followed within a week by that of his father, King GEORGE 111. Thus there remained but one generation Itetween this unweaned child and the Crown. Yet it all but came to pass that she never wore that crown. While at Weymouth, during her first year, a care less boy fired off a gun, and the shot breaking through the nursery window, passed close to the little Princess. Two kings succeeded that child's grandfather. Both of them were advanced in years ; both of them it was known could not reign long ; and so the keenest interest was felt in the maiden who was growing up from childhood into womanhood. She led a simple life ; and, while well-educated, was not bound by the stunting swathes of excessive etiquette. Often she would take an early meal in the garden in front of Kensington Palace, and the morning stroller through the Gardens would see the royal child sitting with book on lap, or work in hand. Between her and her uncle, King WILLIAM, there was not, as we have learnt from herself, any great amount of cordiality. She was early attached to the cousin whom she afterwards married ; but the KING, for reasons not assigned, impeded the development of flat attachment. Cue morning in the height of summer there were early callers at Kensington Palace. It was but five o'clock when the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, the Earl of ALBERMADLF, and Sir IIENnY ILti.Fonn, the physician, arrived. The PuiNcEss was fast asleep, but their business would admit of no delay. They came with important news. They came to salute Queen VICTORIA. " The King is dead. Long live the Queen " It must have been a solemn moment for the young girl. Had this news come but six months sooner she would have had the help of a regent to introduce her into her new duties. Not a month had passed since she attained her majority, and all the burden of THE CONFLICT AT BALLYILEIGUE. Our Cork correspondent writes that the latest intelli gence from the scene of the late collision between the police and the mob is that of the two men O'Hara and Dunn; who were severely wounded ; the former still lives, but is in suck a weak state that the doctors in attendance on him at the County Infirmary can give no hope of his recovery. Dunne's in juries were of such a character from the first that no serious fears arose as to his ultimate recovery. Captain Ball, R.M., has been to the infirmary and taken the depo sitions of Dunne and O'Hara. The excitement which was caused in Ballybeigue, Tralee, and the country around by the unfortunate conflict still continues. THE HARTLEY COLLIERY ACCIDENT FUND. There is a difficulty, says the Birmingham Gazette, about the disposal of the portion of the balance of the Hartley Accident Fund which came to South Staffordshire. From the first it was doubtful whether the trustees would apply it to wards improving hospital accommodation in any town in the district ; and now it is generally allowed that such an appropriation of the funds would not be entirely in keeping with the terms on which they were given to the district. The question is one of very considerable diffi culty. The amount of money is not very large, and its investment would not produce such an income as would be of much service in a district where the accidents are eo numerous; and to distribute the principal would simply be to waste it. At a meeting of miners held at Dudley on the subject last week, the control of the money was asked for the men themselves. A resolu tion was passed at the same meeting affirming that the men were willing to subscribe something to teld to the fund, so that the revenue derivable from the whole would go far ther in the way of relieving injured miners. THE RULE OF THE ROAD AT SEA. Tne recent collision in the Irish Channel Las given rise to an animated discussion respecting the rule of the road at sea, and the frequency of these maritime disasters shows that some definite understanding is needed. Admiral Sir John Hay, M.P., one of tne naval Lords of the late Government, discusses the 13th article of the international steering and sailing rules, and states that it compels ships approaching nearly end on even, when to starboard of each other, to turn their bows at full speed to each other, so as to pass on each other's left hand. Mr. Thomas Gray, of the Board of Trade; declares this interpretation of the article in questson to be altogether incorrect, and says that the Board of Trade are anxious to prevent misapprehension by making the exact wording of the article known. It runs as follows: " If two steamships under steam aro meeting end on, of nearly end on, so as to involve risk of collision, the helms of both shall be put to port, so that each may pass on the port side of the other." The regulations, of which this ar ticle forms a part, are contained in an Order in Council or Jan. 9, 1863, promulgated in conse pence of an elaborate dis cussion between the Governments of France and England, the Admiralty, the Trinity-house, and the Board of Trade. Owing to misapprehensions on thepoint the discussion was afterwards renewed, and all parties came to the conclusion that the mean ing of Article 13 was clear, and that the wording should not be altered. To prevent any future mis•akes, however, an Order in Council was passed on 00th J 1668, giving tome fuller explanations of its meaning, and showing that it could not apply to cases in which the two ships must pass clear of each other if Loth keep on their respt ctive court es. So far from the rule requiring ships " when tc the starboard of each other to turn their bows at full speed to each other," as Sir John hay states, Mr. Gray points out that the order, iu express terms, provides that Article 13 dues not apply where the green light of one ship is opposed to the g: e , n light of the other. Rear-Admiral Sullivan also alludes that Sir J. Hay has misinterpreted the rule of port value in the new regulations. The old rules would, he thinks, have been sufficient if the Admiralty Couit and Privy Council decisions had not sometimes been mistaken. However clear rules are, unless decisions of our courts of law are in ac cordance with them, they will never prevent collisions. The Admiral thinks that the explanations issued in the order to which we have just referred make the whole question so clear that we may hope such errors will bo avoided in future, but he is of opinion that in all such cases the views of nautical assessors should be taken in preference to those of civilians. On Saturday last about 22,000 excursionists from the manufacturing districts of Lancashire visited Liverpool. The Countess of Derwentwater is still at Cor bridge. The Queen Las been petitioned in her behalf. 'The ship Bolingbroke, bound from Calcutta to London with a valuable cargo, was totally wrecked off Hooghly Point on tho 27th April. The ship Sarah Sands, 1,150 tons, bound from Liverpool to Bombay with coals, has been wrecked at the Laccadives— crew saved. An accident to a somnambulist is reported. Al Framoie, Mr. Mandeville, a young Tipperary gentleman, walked through a third-story window whilo in a ttate of somnambulism, and was killed. The fiftieth anniversary of her Majesty's birthday was celebrated on Monday at Windsor with all the usual demonstrations of loyalty. The mayor and corporation of the Royal borough honoured the occasion by a great banquet at the White Hart Tavern on Monday evening. Corporal Peake, of the Ist Manchester Volunteers, whose disappointment in the contest for the Queen's prize at Wimbledon will bo recollected, carried off the Grand °hal lengo Cup of the County Association at Altcar on Saturday. As at Wimbledon, the victor had to meet a protest, but on this occasion with more success than lest year. The objec tion on Saturday was on the ground that Corporal Peako had cut his cartridges, but it was overruled. An extraordinary case of poisoning by misadven ture occurred on Monday in Liverpool. A man named Flan nery, a collector of herbs, rresclibed a ceitlin herb of his collection to a woman as a remedy for rheumatism. She took the medicine, and the man himself also partook of it. The result was death to Flannery himself, and the jeopardis ing the life of the woman, who at a late hour on Sunday was not out of danger. It is supposed that the herb partaken of was of the hemlock family. Air. R. 11. Knox, captain of the " Iriai Twenty, ,, writes from the War-office to several papers stating that he has received so few applications from volunteers as candi dates to represent Ireland in the Internat!onal En field Match at Wimbh dun, ho fears it cannot be gene rally known that the nationality of the competitors is fixed, according to the rules, by paternal descent, that is, by the birthplace of their fathers. Mr. Knox hopes therefore that volunteers, whose fathers were born in Ireland, will not any longer hesitate to inform him of their qualifications to shoot with the Enfield rifle, and also of what competitions they have already been engaged in. BETTING.—The Pall Mall Gazette gives some advice to young men who are prone to betting :—" Like the distemper, betting on what you know next to nothing of is a disorder of puppyhood, which you may live through or succumb to, as the case may be. Look at the hosts of gentlemen, elderly or middle-aged, whose business, as it chances, takes them to town or detains them there in the end of May. They enjoy the racing and even the con comitant humours of the course and road nearly as much as ever they did. But they never hazard a shilling in a bet, and are rigidly parsimonious even as to half-crowns in a sweep stakes. London was not so acci s , ible in their younger days as now, but very likely thesa of them who came up to it then used in their vanity to bore their friends and burn their fingers just as their sons do now. But although they know and care much more about horse-flesh than they used to do —perhaps because they do so—now they do not think it worth while to affect more knowledge than they possess. We supposa it is in human nature to prefer buying experience dear to borrowing it of some one else for nothing ; but for our sakes as well as theirs, we wish our young friends would economise their own money and our pltier ci by leaving racing matters to those whoAncluotattithem. HER MAJESTY. BALMORAL, May 23. The Queen, accompanied by her Royal High ness Princess Louise, went out yesterday morn ing. Tier Majesty drove out in the afternoon, ac companied by Princess Beatrice and the Dowager Duchess of Athole. The Prince of Wales rode out yesterday fore noon, attended by Major Grey.

James's Hall, and his sermon bore special reference the festival of the day. In the course of his remarks 1 ° said : The doctrine of the Trinity is a mystery, but Doti contradiction, though the explanations given of it SW: times make it appear to be so. A cloud may be grel' and grand and beautiful, while it defies all attemPt measure and define it. There are truths which are Wilt . '" by logical precision in explainirig them. The Athanaoll Creed had its controversial use at the time when it written ; but is it wise to perpetuate it in Divine worshl as a Scriptural account of the great mystery of the Trinity' We may agree with its general scope so far as it possible to understand a statement so difficult. P l. should we determine the salvation of others by their agr ee „ ment with this particular method of stating the doctrine' Vet in thousands of pulpits this day it is being asserted that all who do not hold the Catholic faith as there° defined will, without doubt, perish everlastingly ! Th el who respect the Creed to-day may honestly believe UP I themselves so far as they understand it; but can thel, honestly believe that all th e i r fellow-men who do net thus understand the mystery of the Divine existence will be eternally damned? Are they not obliged to ree l) / to evasions or explanations which are painful to OOP Do the laity believe in the damnatory clause they h e° , from the desk? And if not, is th e i r res p ec t for trot' lessened when in sacred places, and in solemn worsl o they hear words which are not held as true in the sel ls° which is grammatical and which was intended by the ca l ; pliers ? Multitudes of godly clergyman find their de"! enjoyment of Trinity Sunday lessened by the necessitr' pronouncing so sweeping an anathema. The laity ell this in great degree, as they are only listeners $ ll , may refuse to respond. But is it not time for the laity ° England to Uemand release for their clergy from such bondage? Let us hope that the Episcopal branch of t ild Church Catholic in this country, a Church so venertsbi,e" /I so learned, so useful, may be delivered from whatever ' a blemish to it ; and that a Liturgy so grand in its sh li ; plicity, so comprehensive, and so devotional, may continue to have its beauty marred by a wholesale con'_ A • demnation so opposed to its p erva di ng an d l arg e-head'''. charity. 711 E EINGLISH JOINT-STOCK BAYJ PROSECUTION, The case of the English Joint-Stock Bank was again be' fore the Lord Mayor at the Mansion House on Monday.

TRADE DISPUTE AT LIVERPOOL.—On Saturday ____ the differences between the Liverpool builders and the operative masons concerning the introduction of the sys tem of payment by the hour, insisted upon by the former, culminated in the retirement of between 400 and 500 ope rative masons from their work. They refuse on various grounds to accept the plan of payment by the hour, and also object to a proposal of the masters for arbitration in all disputes, at least so far as to meet it with the proposal of a court of conciliation, composed half of masters and half of men. There are some 200 non-unionist masons still at work, and the masters will of course attempt to increase the number. A similar dispute in Manchestor was, it will be remembered, settled in tko space of a few hours by arbitration.
