Rd. ." 4 e 0 4 y (Jig t LOADOIV, SA7URDAY, JAN. 23, 1869. Reductions seem to be the order of the day, and so eager are the new Ministers to show that the cry of " extravagant expenditure" was not got up for elec tion purposes that it is difficult to follow them in their sweeping reforms, or to guess in what new direc tion their energy will turn. Opinions will differ , of course, as to the advisability of some of the schemes, and discussion is sure to be rife on the sub ject of administrative reform altogether. This mat ters very little, neither will it signify if prejudices are offended, or pet projects marred, as the advanta4e of the community must be ranked before the privileges of the select circles, and the claims of the many should give way to the monopoly of the few. But some claims present themselves to notice that are well worthy of attention, and, quite irrespective of party feeling or political prejudice, appeal to all who value justice and respect the interest and welfare of all classes of so ciety. In their•haste to cut down, the new heads of departments seem very apt to let their zeal out-ru❑ their discretion, and to commit the error of letting the end justify the means. The chief defects of the new system of retrenchment that has been inaugurated are its inconsistency and oppres,ion. Those who sit in high places and arrogate.to themselves the right of settling the affairs of the'nation should exercise fore thought and judgment, and remember that if their position confers upon them great privileges, is also entails serious responsibilities. There is good reason to fear that the lesson has yet to be learned, or if it has ever been acquired, that it has been forgotten by the members of the new Cabinet and their subor dinates. They seem to be making a forced march of their retrenchment undertaking, and those who can not keep up to the required pace must fall by the roadside and not impede their more energetic com panions. The folly of this proceeding equals its harshness, and we may well inquire the meaning of the policy that attacks the mole-hills and leaves the mountains untouched. 'fake care of the pence and the pounds will take care of themselves, seems to be the motto of those enthusiasts who have taken up the cause of economy with such might and main. It sounds very wul to talk of cutting down this use less appendage So custom, and m;king away with that abuse, but the question is how far will all these alterations affect the int, , rests of those who are to move in accordance with the ru'ing pas sion of tie day. The chances and change of this mortal life are spoken of by th( philosopher, and considered by the preacher, bu few ray much heed to them i❑ the abstract. They seem likely, however, to become very unplea iant truths instead of airy nothings to the employe , of the Government offices, and the departments of the Civil Service. They do not seem inclined to b. nameless martyrs and indignant remonstrancer3, and bitter complaints may be heard in all directions; but THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 23, 1.69. whether any heed will be paid to them by the powers that be is another thing. Tho public has a right, however, to insist that the Government shall act with discretion, and not forget what is due to others in its haste to carry out their own pet schemes. Unfortunately Mr. GLADSTONE is not famed for caution. When he takes up a hobby he is apt to ride it to death, and consideration is cer tainly not among his virtues. Yet he who would be a successful ruler should not be unmindful of the rights of all classes, aad he has no reason to be proud of commanding the applause of listening senates, if he pursues his course unmindful of the sacrifices he calls upon others to make who can ill afford to bend to his behests. Prejudices may be offended and favouritism become rampauti if the new Ministry should venture to begin in the right direction, and cut down those extravagant items which mainly swell the lists of our expenses ; but if justice be the real incen- tive to Mr. GLADSTONE'S exertions in this matter of economy his clearsightedness and judgment can need no teaching. Why, we a-k, in the name of consis- tency, does not the great financier of the age, the Heareu-sent orator of the Exchequer, turn his thoughts to the saving of thousands before he frights the land from its propriety by the threatened decrease of the units ? He is coming down like the wolf on the fold on the affrighted array of clerks and scribes ; but danger makes men bold to utter stern truths, and the victims he is about to immolate on the sacri ficial altar of economy may not die quite so meekly as he expects. At any rate, the public who have been startled by all this clamour will demand some explanation of the affair, and desire that the admini strative departments of a great country like this be conducted with fairness. Let the revision be effected with precision and equality, and no one will have a light to complain. It is said that three thousand pounds will be saved annually to the country by the non-appointment of a Governor of Greenwich Hos pital ; that is all very well, and we should like to see other reforms of the same kind. Some one facetiously observed the other day that instead of dismissing clerks by the score and reducing the salaries of others to such a minimum that it seemed the refinement of cruelty to expectithem to live, it would be well if the Ministers would forego a thou sand or two of that amount, which is a recognition of their services, if not a requital. With more rea son, we may ask why the great are not to contribute their share to this national work of reduction? Is the deficit in the Treasury to be made up of the mites that are snatched from the comforts, if not the ne:essities, of the humble ; and are the wealthy to be precluded from casting in their millions? We give Mr. GLADSTONE credit for a better head than this, and, let us add, a better heart. It may call for the exercise of some spirit on his part to suggest the propriety of making a change in those arrangements of the army whereby colonelcies are held by influen tial personages who could very well dispense with them, and to declare that some pensions might be cut down considerably, and dropped altogether as the present possessors die off. This, we say, would be a hard task to perform, but it demands more courage to tell the man whose family is dependent upon his exertions that he must go home and seek employment, for the State cannot afford to pay for his services. The Liberal Ministry, with a great majority, can never mean to meet a Reformed Parliament with such a tale as this; it would call forth the reproaches of their friends and the regrets of their opponents, and set the country wondering whether great states men had vanished with other institutions that modern science despises or has declared to be effete. All this must be left for the future to determine, but enough has been said, written, an I predicted to justify doubts and misgivings on the score of equality in this economy mania that has possessed our rulers. We would re mind them that they must not make a trifle of a seri ous matter; they may delay in beginning, but if they begin they must go on, that they must not put their hand to the plough and lo)k back, and if the course that justice and reason have fixed upon lea them past the domains of those whose lines have fallen in pleasant places, they mint be firm and inexorable ; those is purple and fine linen can take care of them selves, but if they are tempted to deviate from their predetermined course let it be when they come in contact with the workers, and not the rois faineans of humanity. The possession of power often renders men callous to what in better moments they might regard with attention, and the prevalence of one idea is apt to influence the mind to a degree that is surprising. It seems idle to say that it is incon sistent to start in a great work without some re sources, and absurd to think of engaging in a mighty warfare with insignificant weapons, yet such have been the heralds and precursors of this economy system of the new Cabinet. The tide of reform in expenses has set in, but it is to be the torrent tbat sweeps away the hamlets of the peasant and leaves the lordly castle safe on its rock of defiance to brave the elements of destruction and smile at the storms of fate. It is never too late to mend, but then we should mend in the right direction, and not let our repen tance be of the kind which must be repented of, and so with these worthies who are to move heaven and earth to effect the saving of hundreds, while thou sands and tens of thousands are suffered to be squan dered for want of thought, or disinclination to offend those whom it is more convenient to please. All we can say is that if this is to be the progress of the ❑ew school of politicians it is very like retrogres sion, and in the spirit of the performance reminds one of a very old story. There was a king who was mighty in his generation, and the melody of whose strains shall never die while the earth endures, bus he was human after all, and in the day of temp tation yielded. He was recalled to a sense of his sin by the voice of one who told him in an allegory of the rich man who spared his own flocks, and sacrificed ,he solitary possession of his poor neighbour. THE poor child who has been so long lingering between life and death at Laeken has died at last. For several months he has been suffering from dropsy and pericarditis, and has had to undergo frequent operations. his sufferings have been great, his patience has been greater. Many an English mother's eye must have moistened as she read from time to time the touching stories of his endeavours to lighten his parents' sorrow by patient endurance of his own heavy cross. The mild weather enabled him to rally for a time, but with the colder weather came unfavourable symptoms. On the 14th he had a relapse. On the 19th the symptoms became most alarming, and Dr. JENNER, from England, and Dr. KOEPL, from Germany, had a consultation, at which they came to the conclusion that all hope must be abandoned. Dr. JENNER left his patient on the following day. Yesterday morning the Duke of BRABANT was released by the merciful hand of death. Ile was the King of the BELGIANS' only son, and would have been 10 years old if he had lived till June. As the Salic law prevails in Belgium, the Count of FLANDERS, brother of the King, is now the heir apparent; but as the QUEEN of the BELGIANS is not yet 33 years of age, there is no reason to con clude that he will certainly succeed to the Crown. AN attempt has been made by some writers to express on paper the feelings with which English men and women must have received the last intelli gence from New Zealand. This second telegram, coming from a different source, confirms the first story ; and the story itself is enough. Nothing can be added to or taken away from this dismal narra- tive of massacred families—of men burnt alive, the bodies of women thrown to the pigs, and children mutilated. Knowing as we di the causes which have led to this disaster, it s orie which utterly defies comment. But at a crisis when it is highly important that the nature of this outbreak should be accurately known, the origin of these calami ties is both misunderstood and misrepresented. The old outcry against Imperial neglect, and the old demand for the despatch of troops, have again arisen. Yet nothing can be more certain than that the blame of the New Zealand disaster is not to be included amongst the many sins of English administration. The case is one which admits of no doubt whatever. When the war first broke out in 1863, English troops were sent to the colony, and the number was gradually increased until a considerable army was accumulated in different parts of New Zealand. For years this expensive force was supported at the cost of the British taxpayer, until, the war being apparently over, the Government made a demand which might, perhaps, have fairly been preferred on the arrival of the first regiment. The colonists must pay a capita tion on every British soldier, or protect themselves. They chose the latter, and in all respects the better alternative ; but the regular troops did not leave the islands until there had been a definite agreement on the part of the Colonial Government to maintain a force equal to the protection of the colony. It was at first suggested by the settlers themselves that 2,500 should be the number of the colonial army. The figure was finally fixed at 1,500 1 and then the English regiments withdrew. Decidedly the history of the Maori war reflects no blame upon the Home Government, which on this occa sion did what lay in its power. And though it is always difficult to judge accurately of events happening so far away, yet in this case the facts are amply sufficient to disclose the truth. To borrow the French EMPEROR'S quotation, if the tree is known by its fruit, nothing could be worse than the defensive arrangements of the New Zealand Govern ment. It raised only one-fifth of the force which it agreed to maintain, the detachment of 300 which took the place of 16,000 men of all arms was badly equipped and organised, and a single defeat laid open the whole territory. It is true that Poverty Bay, the scene of the last disaster, answers to its name. It is in a district remote from the centre of colonial life, and the district around is very thinly populated. But these circumstances cannot be held to exculpate the Government. There is little reason for believing that if a strong militia had been kept up, the rising would have taken place, and it is highly probable that one defeat would have cowed the natives, who were by no means unanimous in their hostility. In fact, the number of Maories who took the field was small at first, however great it may be now. The errors of the Government are clear : whilst the British troops were in the islands very lax notions of nieum and tuum were permitted ; in other words, native ground was largely seized without compensa- tion ; and when the troops were gone no provision was made against the consequences of these arbitrary deeds. Equally clear is the issue of this policy. It must end in premature, perhaps the needless, extermination of the aboriginal race. It is impossible, indeed, to regard their fate with much compassion while these atrocities are still fresh; but the disappearance of a family of men is a result which humanity forbids us to accelerate. THE Manchester Courier lately published an inci dent to which we beg the attention of our readers. It was stated that a man had got drunk at Christmas, had remained in a chronic state of drunkenness for several days, when he varied his drink with a large dose of laudanum. - With difficulty the man's life was saved. He vas then brought up before a magistrate for attempting to commit suicide, and was remanded while a summons was issued against the chemist who supplied him with the laudanum. The chemist was amenable to the law, because there is a special Act of Parliament, very stringent in its pro visimin, restricting the sale of what are legally called poisons. But there is no law against the sale of alcoholic drinks. Alcohol is scientifically as much a poison as opium ; it is to be found in any toxicological chart, just as much as strychnia and belladonna are . But while the sale of the latter poison is allowed only under the most rigid conditions, the sale of the first is left per fectly free, except that during a few hours in the dead of night and about one half of the Sunday the selling is forbidden. That is, the principle of restric tion is admitted ; it is a llowed th at alcohol is not a n y ordinary article, an d that the traffic in it is not an ordinary trade ; but when the principle comes to be logically carried out we hold back. We allow the alcohol sellers to supply to the alcohol poisoned purchaser any amount that he may choose to pay for, and if the man falls down dead, or if he kills another person in a state of raving madness, we let the alcohol sellers go off scot free; while, if the alcohol-Poisoned man takes an excess of what after all was the right remedy— opium being the sheet anchor of the doctor in deal ing with a case of delirium tremens—we punish the chemist who sold him the opium. That is, we say nothing to the seller of the poison ; we inflict a penalty upon the seller of the anti dote.n The inconsisten c y is the mor e absurd, beca use it is easyenough to is suffering under an e xcess of alcohol. tell if a m Granting,a for the sake of argu ment, that alcohol ci in moderation" is a good thing, and that therefore the sale ought not to be wholly forbidden, yet, alcohol in excess so plainly betrays itself, that the man who would supply another suffer ing under alcohol is, whatever be the law of the land, committing a great crime that will receive its punish ment hereafter. _ _ Exceptions will be taken to this argument. Ii will be urged, for instance, that there is no paralle: between such drinks as laudanum and gin, because the first is so much more deadly than the second. The answer to this is clear. For that very reason laudanum is sold in smaller doses. There is no difference of principle between them, but only one of degree. It might as well be argued that because strychnine is more deadly than laudanum the latter ought not to be restricted, but only the former. If it be urged that it would be impossible to prevent a man going from public-house to public-house, and, getting a little drink at each, make up a sum total sufficient to render him drunk, we reply that the same argument holds good with respect to laudanum. Ile can go from shop to shop and buy a total sufficient to poison him. And there is this to be said, that the second would be more likely to take this trouble than the first. A man may form a deliberate intention of committing suicide, and, if so, will be sure to carry it out. Few men form a deliberate intention of getting drunk. The inducement to drunkenness lies in the facility for getting an unlimited amount of drink in any one house. Drunkenness would become almost unknown if the drunkard had to go to a dozen houses before he could get enough to intoxicate him. It it be objected that it would be impossible for the publican to determine when a man had had "as much as was good for him," we reply that this is the more reason why the selling of alchohol should come entirely under the control of the Government. A Middlesex magistrate has just pointed out in the Daily News that in a certain street near the Tower there are four consecutive houses each of which is a public-house, and that only a ware house separates these from a fifth. It is monstrous to suppose that such a number of drink-shops can be required for the supply of " sober " persons. It is monstrous that a system which suffers the working population of the East-end to be exposed to tempta tion which the magistrates would think intolerable in their own neighbourhoods should be permitted to continue. A reform of the licensing system is the most urgent of all reforms. No reform will be effectual until it is acknowledged that alcohol is a poison as much as laudanum, and that its sale requires equal restrictions, THE LIMERICK ELECTION TETITIOIV, The trial of the Limerick election petition still proceeds. A mass of evidence has been brought forward, from which it appears that the constituency received very liberal treat. ment, although it may be difficult to trace the sources to which they are indebted. Public benefactors on such occasions cultivate the grace of modesty, and shrink with sensitive delicacy from an avowal of their generous acts. Orders for drink were scattered broadcast, greatly to the advantage of the publicans, and some of the orders were interpreted in a liberal sense, as entitling the holders to choose between the draught or its equivalent in money. Richard Galligan, a French polisher, who voted for Gavin and Russell, received an order from Lynch on the day of polling, after he voted. He took it over to Mrs. O'Connor, a publican. Three others went with him, and they drank for nearly two hours. Some more came in and they treated them to brandy. He could not tell how many bottles of brandy they drank, and they brought away one or two bottles to give to the father of one of the party. He did not get drunk that day. lie asked for some cash on the order, and Mrs. O'Connor replied that 15s. Gd. was due upon it. He asked first for brandy, and she told him she could not give it, but that he might have either whisky m porter. lie was fastidious, however, and told her he " did not understand whisky or porter in election times.' He had got nothing since the election, and no promise had been made to him. He informed the court that he had been promised £2O if he gave evidence in support of the petition. He stated, however, that he voted in accord. ance with his political principles, and was not influenced by any other consideration. Michael Ahem, another elector, swore that the Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald had asked him repeatedly about his vote, and on the clay of polling met him and pressed him to go to the booths. He replied that there was time enough. About two o'clock he went to vote. He met Lynch, who offered him £5 to vote for Gavin and Russell. Mr. Sheehan asked him afterwards, would £lO satisfy him? James Murnand took him aside and offered him £l5. He was told to go to Mrs. Corbett's, another publican's. and went there, as he had until four o'clock to vote. He did so, and while he was there Tom Kelly looked in and told them not to annoy him, for he was a man whom no amount of money would purchase. He was cross-examined with a view of shewing that he had a grudge against Lynch, that he was trying to get up evidence for the petitioners, and also that he was under ejectment. He denied, however, that he hoped to clear off the amount of rent which he owed by means of the petition. Mr. O'Neill, a publican, swore that he got directions from Father Molony to give refreshments to people coming from the country. He supplied " goods and drink" to the amount of £l5. He sent in his bill for £5O, and was told that it could not be paid until it was examined and countersigned by Mr. Murphy, the conducting agent. Ellen Fitzgerald said that she fur nished refreshments to a number of people, and was paid £3. John Wallace, who plumped for Russell, stated that the Rev. Mr. Conway desired him to bring some men with him to the Court-house for fear Gavin and Russell should not get a hearing, and that he went to the rev. gentleman's house and got £8 or £9, which he gave to the men. The Rev. John Conway deposed that he canvassed for Gavin and Rnssell, and that he gave £9 to the last witness, £l7 to Mat Hayes, and about £3 to John Sheehy to treat non-electors. He had a large sum of money in his possession to make use of if he liked. He could have availed himself of £l,OOO if he liked. He had about £5O to do anything he liked with. He got £5O from Mr. 0. Sha,ughnassy, a magistrate, on the day of nomination. He gave the money to Hayes several days after the polling. That was "to pay the boys who were to keep order during the day of the nomination, and to canvass during the two following days." He gave an order for £4 for some poor people to Pat Synan, who was a deputy-sheriff. From first to last he never intended that a shilling should be given to a voter. There was great excitement in the town. He believed it was in the possession of Tait and Pigott's mob, and there would have been no freedom of election if they had not been counteracted. He had a list of forty or fifty names furnished to him. The list was handed to the witness, who explained certain cabalistic signs attached to the names ; " 9 " at the top of the list meant a round of punch ; " 10" the second round ; " 11" the third ; and "15 " the fourth. There were twenty-one rounds of punch. Other witnesses swore that they had received or supplied refreshments upon orders given by Lynch. The case for the petitioner has not yet closed. Mr. Spark, who unsuccessfully contested Darling ton, has had given to him a tea-kettle, and some other articles, to purchase which his friends had subscribed £2OO. The Lord Chancellor of Ireland was entertained on Thursday by his brethren of the Stephen's-green Club, ata very splendid banquet in the Exhibition building, Dublin. The Hon. Sir Maziero Brady, Bart., presided, and amongst those pr.3ent was Mr. Chichester Fortescue, the Chief Secre tary for Ireland. There has been an accident near Bakewel], by which two men lost their lives. They were working in the water shaft connected with the Magpie Mine, when a mass of stone fell and :truck the platform upon which they were stand ing, and they fell into the abyss below. One of the men was discovered clinging to a rail, and was extricated—so dreadful:y injured, however, that ho died shortly after. The second man fell into the water at the bottom of the shaft and was drowned. A HARD CASE.—In the Vice-Chancellor's Court, on Friday, Vice-Chancellor James gave judgment in a case which he justly termed one of great hardship. The Earl of Durham owed a sum of £5,000 on his bond, to the late Thomas Glaholm, who died in 1849. The earl paid off £2,500 in 1859, and in 1862 paid the remaining £2,500 to Wilson, one of Mr. Glaholm's executors, on his request. Wilson sent a receipt in due form, bearing the signatures of him self and his co-executor, Mr. Charlton. He also returned the bond. However, Mr. Charlton's signature was a forgery, and Wilson embezzled the money, being after wards convicted. The question was whether the loss should fall on the testator's family, or whether Lord Dur ham should pay over again. The Vice-Chancellor decided in favour of the earl, having, he said, deferred giving judgment, in order to see if he could not relieve the plain tiffs from payment of costs, which he found himself unable to do. The Inverness Journal has the following :--On the evening of the 2nd December last, Sergeant Swanson entered the Royal Hotel, Thurso, and found there a couple of local J.P.'s enjoying themselves in total disregard of the Forbes Mackenzie Act. The sergeant reported the case to Mr. Mitchell, chief constable, who had it brought before the justices, of whom there were four on the bench, two of them being the gentlemen referred to. The clearest evidence was given in support of the charge, but, after a brief consultation among the occupants of the bench, it was announced that they found the charge " not proven," one of their number expressing his dissent. Mr. Mitchell said that, as the decision of the justices was so dif ferent from what he expected it to be, seeing that they had found no fault with the evidence given, he would have the case continued, and brought up again under the " Summary Procedure Acts." In reply to this, one of the justices said, " Surely, Mr. Mitchell, you can't say that it's a breach of the Forbes Mackenzie Act for a few gen tlemen to he found amusing themselves in an hotel for a little time after the appointed hour of closing ?" A WONDERFUL CAT.—A New Hampshire paper tells this story :--`• Last year Mr. Charles Edgerly, of Meredith, owned a cat which was a regular hunter. He would often go off and bring in rabbits. If any of the family went berrying, Tommy would go too and devote his energies to wild game. If he became separated from the party, he would climb a tree and ascertain the direc tion to head himself to find them. He could catch birds on trees, and the boys of the family, knowing the propen sity of squirrels to take to fences and stone walls when in danger, would put him on a wall and alarm the game. One afternoon Tommy caught fifteen squirrels in this manner. He would wait any length of time when put down in a place and told to stay there. One day he brought a rat and laid it at the feet of Mr. Edgerly, who took out his knife and skinned it. Pussy surveyed the ope ration with intense interest, and seemed highly pleased at it. Mr. Edgerly said, ' Go get another,' and the cat went off and returned at intervals during the day with three more, which were duly skinned under feline superintendence. Mr. Edgerly told the cat that he would skin all the rats he could catch ; and hence pussy made it his f ole occupation to catch the rodents and see their hides removed. The skins of the rats were fastened on the barn at the distance of a few feet from the ground. Thirty-seven trophies were in time displayed on the barn. One day this feline Nimrod brought in a rat and laid it at Mr. Edgerly's feet. He was busy at the time, and could not gratify the animal with the usual skinning operation. The cat laid it at his feet three successive times, and was finally repulsed in such a manner that Tommy went off with his back and tail up in the peculiar stiff gait which enraged animals have. From that day not a rat would lie catch, though other small game continued to suffer as of old. But now comes the wonderful part of the tale. On the night of the day in which he became so mortally offended Tommy went out to the barn, and tore down the hides of the thirty-seven victims, to shew the resentment of the result. Such a case rarely is heard of, and we record it for our readers, young and old. Though he would keep all his old habits, such as skating (for he would slide in the best manner he was able on the ice whenever the boys went), he never again was known to catch a rat to the da: , of his death, which happened some few months after by fctx trar..!'=-Siticogg Trifluzle. Dec. 28. THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON AND THE LATE M. BERRYER. A large collection of autograph documents belonging t 4 the late M. Berryer are shortly to come to the hammer. Amongthem are some very curious letters, the most import• ant of which are those that passed between the illustrious pleader and Louis Napoleon relative to the defence of the present Emperor before the Chamber of Peers in the Boulogne affair. No less than fifteen letters were written by the then Prince to the deceased statesman. During his captivity at Ham, the imperial prisoner always addressed M. Berryer as "his noble friend," or "his dear Berryer." One of these letters ran as follows : " Ham, February, 1841. "My dear Verryer,— Allow me to recommend M. X— to your notice ; he is one of my friends, and, although a Republican, is an excellent man in every respect. Receive my cordial friendship. " LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE." This interesting collection of documents will no doubt shortly be made public. The Chateau of Angerville, tho residence of M. Berryer, is in the market for 500,0001. A RACING lAT.TDENT. an action, creating considerable interest in sporting circles, was commenced in the Bail Court yesterday. Mr. Henry James, in opening the case, said the plaintiff (Bray) resided at Newmarket, and his occupation was that of a watcher of race-horses, and he was known in the vernacular as a " tout." The plaintiff (Jennings) bad to complain of an unprovoked, wanton, and brutal assault committed by the defendant, who was a trainer of race horses at Newmarket. He trained amongst others for Count Lagrange, and he trained for him Gladiateur, the winner of the Derby. As a trainer, the plaintiff was in the habit of exercising his horses on Newmarket Heath, at a part near the London and Bury road, and between the heath and the road there was a footpath. On the Ist of October the plaintiff, with others, was standing on the footpath for the purpose of watching the horses that were being exercised on the heath, so as to form a judgment on their qualities and probabilities of success in any race in which they might take part. Baron Rothschild's horses appeared on the heath first, followed by those in the defendant's stables. The defendant first commenced a conversation with the plaintiff, which might be described as chaff, but it soon grew warmer, and at last degenerated into impure Saxon of the strongest character. The plaintiff replied to the defendant, and in the course of the conversation he called the defendant a fool, and upon that the defendant, who was riding a very high horse, rode down upon the plaintiff, and with his riding whip struck the plaintiff violently about the head with the butt end of it. The plaintiff had suffered severely from the injuries he had received, and he now asked the jury to give him exemplary damages for the sufferings he had endured. Evidence was taken, and a verdict was entered for the plaintiff ; damages, £2OO. BISHOP WALDEGRAYE ON THE RITUAL JUDGMENT. The Carlisle Journal of yesterday morning publishes a letter addressed by the Bishop of Carlisle (Dr. Walde grave) to the Venerable Archdeacon of 'Westmore land respecting the course to be followed by the clergy in consequence of the recent judgment. His lordship points out, in the first place, how important it is that the clergy should remember that they are members of a corporate body, and that therefore " it is not morally competent for every man independently and of his own mere motion to do that which is right in his own eyes.' " They should also recollect that " the instructions of the Prayerßook ex plicitlyprescribe consultation with the bishop in cases of perplexity wiih regard to ritual." In the second place, Dr. Waldegrave reminds his brethren that " all the points upon which their axieties may be roused are within the scope of the Ritual Commission." " Surely," remarks his lordship, "if all these questions were now as open as some would seem to think, it is a matter of wisdom to wait till the Ritual Commission has so spoken, and authoritative action has been taken thereon. " And there is the more reason for this," continues the Bishop, "because, though it is boldly assumed and eagerly urged that the recent judg ment renders the wearing of the mediaeval vestments obligatory, it is by no means clear that such is the case. The opinion originally given by Sir Hugh Cairns (the late Lord Chancellor), Sir Roundell Palmer, and the present Mr. Justice Hannen, is as distinctly adverse to the use of the vestments,as it is to that of the other ceremonies, or ornaments now condemned. That opinion has not, it is true, as yet been tested in this particular by a legal suit. This, however, is, I hear, now to be done. Meanwhile, it is as well to act upon the presumption that in this respect also it will stand, and quieta non movere. Nor should it be forgotten that the Ritual Commission, in its first report, pronounced un favourably to the use of the sacrificial vestments. MR. JACOB BRIGHT, M. P., ON EDUCATION On Thursday, Mr. Jacob Bright took the chair at the Miles Platting School, on the occasion of the annual public examination. The report stated that the schools were flourishing, and that the Government Inspector had reported favourably of them. After delivering the prizes to the most successful boys, the Chairman addressed the assembly, and congratulated them upon the results of the examination through which the boys and girls had just passed. He did not wish to see better schools than this, and if more schools existed on the same principle there would be no need to spend time in speaking of education. Mr. Salter, the inspector, had declared that the training those boys had received would " follow them through life," and he 'Mr. Bright) would wish to find the same training carried on in other places. In too many parts of the country it did not even follow them up to the time when they were married. According to the locality, there were 30 or 50 per cent. of the people who could not sign their names. The children they examined had belonged to the bwo first classes of the school, and it was to be feared that some proportion of the school would leave before they reached that position. Night schools were a great advantage to those who had been compelled to leave school early, and it would be well if parents encouraged them more. Besides this the children ought to be allowed to read at home to improve their minds. If the reading were of an amusing character, they would enjoy what they read and speedily acquire facility in the practice. Persons could not read and write with pleasure, unless they were accustomed to read and write, but by per severance they would learn enough to become an intelligent people. On the Continent and across the Atlantic the other countries were far in advance of Eng land, and yet we might observe that they had experienced man y of our difficulties in dealing with the question of education. Mr. Bright believed that the cause of our failure was attribuable to the fact that in England the people had been left to themselves, whereas in other lands the attention of Parliaments and statesmen had been directed to the subject. The educated people of this country were so careless that they did not render the assistance they might in forwarding the work of education. It was an accidental thing to have a good school in England ; and that of Miles Platting was the exception and not the rule in this respect. He con sidered, however, that the presence of a good school ought to be as certain a law as that which regulated the planetary system. Referring to the reiteration of the sub ject of education, Mr. Bright declared that it must be talked of until our legislators took it up in earnest. The law must be made by the people in their discussions before it was legislated upon by the House of Commons. He concluded by expressing his regret at the intimation given by Mr. Bruce to the effect that the Government was not likely to deal this year with the question of education for England. We noted yesterday the mysterious disappearance of Mr. John Tatham, of Liverpool. We are glad to learn that he has presented h'inself at his office, having just re turned from Buxton. His accounts appear to be perfeedy in order. According to the Weekly Register a letter from Rome states, on good authority, that the Archbishop of Westminster (Dr. Manning), will be made a Cardinal before his return to England. The Archbishop of Paris is also to be raised to the same dignity. On Thursday Sir S. Northcote and Mr. Mowbray attended a large Conservative meeting at Exeter, the object of which was the formation of a working men's union. In the course of some remarks which he addressed to the meeting, Sir S. Northcote said that he anticipated good results from the action of such unions. As to the Conservative party, he added, although they had suffered great reverses at the close of last year, the prospects before them were now bright, not only in Exeter but in various Dther parts of the country. Her Majesty's Government has consented to an important scheme iu referrenco to the ecclesiastical organisation of India. The late Bishop Cotton proposed that several fresh secs shou'cl be founded as funds per milted, one of which, at Lahore, should be established at once by the Government on the same for,t'ng as Madras and Bombay, the others as soon as an amount equal to the salary of a senior chaplain should be subscribed for any new see, in which the Government was to undertake to double the salary from the public revenue. Failing the adoption of this plan, he proposed that parts of his own enormous dio cese should be banded over to his suffragans, and extra archdeacons provided to assist the Indian Episcopate in go verning their vast dioceses.
