The breaking, if not precisely of a butterfly, of a very contemptible little poi , onous reptile, o n a w h ee l was the spectacle to which the House of Commons was yesterday invited by the Government. Every thing was prepared for the political extinction of an isolated official by the bringing to bear upon him summarily of the whole accumulated force of the Im perial Legislature. All was in readiness for his —obli teration. He was, as a functionary, to be —swept out of existence. His fate, however, was so inevitable that be " caved in." Surround a scorpion with fire, it has been said, and the creature will anticipate a more dreadful doom by stinging itself to death. DANIEL O . SULI.IVAN has just now emulated the scorpion. He has resigned his Mayoralty -_.prefer ring an ostensibly voluntary withdriwal from hi post, to the pair. and ignominy of being kicked out of it. To all intuits and turposes the result, no matter which way it is arrive:l at, is all one to the r cwer3 that be. The incendiary Mayor of Cork, the fraterni-:er with Fvnianism, the eulogist of assassins, is Mayor of Colh now no b,n..er. Alid—as Mr. M'CArativ DowxrNa put it— having resigned, in the way in which DANIEL O'SuLLIvAN has, there need be small apprelens'on that he will ever be elected Mayor of Cock again. The whole incident, from first t) list, is the wild est of escapades. It has about it, at every turn, an irresistible touch , of :the ludiercu3. One can hardly discitis• it - seriously. Eien in the utterance of the "wild and whirling words' attributed to him, THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNEAY EVENING, MAY 12, 1869. . the late Mayor of Cork, excited among all rational observers, simultaneously, horror and risibility—dis gust and laughter. The notion was F:o prep7s'erous, in itself, that the very functionary en trusted with the preservation of order in the municipality, the very magistrate especially deputed, by right of his office, to see to the maintenance of the law, should, of all men there in the city of Cork, be the one to in cite to insubordination, to outrage, to disloyalty, even —as the vast majority of those who first of all heard and afterwards, in more considerable numbers, read the words to which he had given utterance, firmly believed—to assassination ! That the Government, that the Legislature, that the responsible Ministers of the Crown, should permit words like those to be arti was a thing i m p oss ibl e . Th e culated with impunity, delinquent, however, could only he dealt with excep tionally. If he was to be silenced at all—and about . that there could not be two opinions —he must be silenced immediately. To do that, necessitated an especial interpositir,n on the part of the Legisla ture. From that, neither the Administration nor the Parliament shrank, even fur one passing moment. Lech was prepared to act promptly and vigorously with this flagrant violator of public decency. His pro cecdingswereso disgrac ful that therisk of their repe tition was not for an instant to be tolerated. Hence, the bill prepared on the spur of the moment by the Irish Attorney-General. Hence, the unusually large gathering of members and spectators yesterday in the House of Commons, in anticipation of that same rapidly prepared bill's introduction. The doomed racoon descended from his branch, however, be fore a shot could be fired. Conscious that his fate prevailing absurdity of his courEe in the mayoralty, he yields up his post in a manner the most ridiculous. He announces it to the world member for Curk, beginning "My ear through a letter to the hon. gentleman the MAGUIRE," on the perusal of which tender hroth apos trophe by the latter the crowded House gave way o Through g prolonged and reiterated peals of laughter. Cork,"myd e i a n r t e i s m t a A t l e A s Gu to ra t E h , e " t i, he zi n s o l w atu ta r b e, oo t e o d tehxe-AGlaoyvoerrno. mea►, to the whole country, his withdrawal from the post from which, by the authority of Parliament, he was about to be expelled. Through the O'DONOGHUE, he, at the same time, announced his intention of transmitting his resignation to the Town Council of Cork : and, as the O'DONOGHUE, of the Glens, as sured the House yesterday, amidst another burst of laughter, " from his own personal knowledge of Mr. O'SuLLIVAN'S character, whatever that gentleman said he would do might be relied upon!" Consistently all through, the whole thing has been utterly farsical. But, while it was farsical, it was also, at the same time, utterly disgraceful. Any one who, in the position of Mayor of an ancient city like that of Cork, could so far outrage public decency as to eulogise the memory of the intending assassin of the Duke of EDINBURGH, at the very time when Prince ARTHUR was traversing Ireland, must, quite obviously, be unfitted to discharge the duties of that office, and disqualified ipso facto from occupy ing in any way the position of a magistrate. To assert, as the Ex-Mayor of Cork has had the hardihood to assert in his letter to Mr. MAGuIRE, that—(these are his very words)—" having regard to my personal honour and consistency, I declare, in the most solemn and emphatic manner that the lan guage attributed to me did not in any way express or represent my real meaning," to make so an astounding assertion as that is simply an addi tional outrage perpetrated by the arch-offender— though, this time, it happens to be nothing worse than a simple outrage to common sense. THE House of Commons was called upon on Monday night to discuss ono of the gravest and most difficult questions which the nation has to solve. A solution, and ilia a speedy one, is absolutely necessary to the existence of the nation. Year by year the army of paupers is increasing ; year by year, that is, the proportion of those who have not, and who if they had the power, would not scruple to help themselves at the expense of those who have, is augmenting; and if we would not let our or our children be overtaken by such a deluge as that which overwhelmed France eighty years ago we must stop this formidable growth, we must pre vent this wholesale recruiting of the revolutionary army from the ranks of those who ought to be upon the side of order and settled government. Mr. CORRANCE certainly needed no excuse for intro ducing this subject even during such a busy session as this. Mr. GLADSTONE did well in giving up a Government night to its discussion. Our legis lators have only begun to pay attention to it. They will require a good many more debates before they will master the facts, much more suggest an effectual remedy. The most startling fact is that during the eight years since 1860 the amount expended in the relief of the poor has increased one-fifth. For the ten years ending 1860 the amount was 58. 91d. per head of the population ; for the year 1860 it was Os. 111 d. This increase may be to some extent only temporary, but we rather hope it than expect it. True, trade is depressed; true, capital lying idle labour cannot find full employment, and wages are low; but unfor tunately the tendency of pauperism is always to perpetuate itself. The man whose independence has been once broken clown by the acceptance of parish relief gets soon reconciled to this source of livelihood. The householder who has broken up his home, and whose children are exposed to the pauper atmos phere, is not likely to give them habits of industry. The descent into the Avernus of pauperism is fearfully facile. The ascent out of it is deplorably difficult. Children brought up among paupers will, it is only too probable, remain paupers. A like result follows the distribu tion of those doles and charities which, however pure the motive that prompted their foundation, do effect an immensity of harm. Mr. MUNDELLA, for instance, stated on Monday night that in one village where £3O a year was spent in education £BOO a year was spent in doles, and the week following the distribution of the fund was given up to debauchery. Indiscriminate almsgiving is a kindred source of pauperism. The per son who gives a " stray copper " to the first beggar he meets, is really doing his utmost to manu facture paupers. But when all these causes are mentioned, and that they are powerful causes we do not doubt, the most powerful of all still has to be stated. Drunkenness is known to be the chief source of pauperism, for it will counteract and neu tralise all measures that we may take to diminish pauperism. We may make the labour test as severe as Mr. GOSCHEN likes, we may separate pauper children from pauper adults, and use the ancient doles in education, as Mr. MUNDELLA recommended. c o o bt l a c i i n d a esi b re a , nk w r e up ni tcy ay I p a r w o , m a o s te go e o n d li a Swaeminay uunA until we have- actu a lly di m i n i shed the popula g t r i s o a n t3ilo o ri f ; England to the extent that the population of Ireland has been diminished ; but we shall never get at the root of pauperism, we shall only cut off its leaves. until we render drunkenness as difficult as it is now easy. Mr. GOSCIIEN promises certain changes in his department, but these are merely questions of detail, not of principle. He may effect a certain saving in the amount of poor relief ; but he will do little to diminish poverty. It is not so much to the PRESI DENT of the POOR-LAW BOARD as to the Roan.: SECRETARY that we look for the legislation which is to relieve us from the terrible incubus of poverty weighing upon us more heavily every year.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, TUESDAY, May 11. The general impression produced by the Emperor's speech at Chartres is one of embarrassment. Of course, the official journals praise and the Opposition papers con demn it in the ordinary way of party business ; but every body expected an important political statement, whereas the address is one of the most enigmatical efforts of the most enigmatical of speechmakers. For some time past it has been confidently rumoured that the Emperor had determined upon altering the form of Government and the Constitution. He had made up his mind, people said, that the Empire, though it might last his time, would not be likely to endure long after his death. The clamour of the French people for liberty was not to be resisted. The Emperor had, therefore, resolved to adopt the programme of the Tiers-Parti, and was, in fact, about to change the Empire into a constitutional monarchy, with a parliamentary government and a re sponsible Ministry. One very well informed writer posi tively asserted that this was Napoleon's design. M. Rouher was under a cloud. Soon he would cease to guide the Councils of the State, and a moderately Liberal Cabinet would reign in his stead. Perhaps the EMperor may entertain this design ; but unquestionably no signs of it are to be found in the speech delivered at Chartres. Two observa tion on the subject of liberty occur in the course of this address. Firstly, the Emperor says that in the path of pro gress and liberty, no one should attempt to go faster than the Government or endeavour to urge it forward ; and secondly, that subversive passions still exist which should be kept firmly under, and which can only be resisted by a powerful concentration of all the social forces of France. There is nothing here to hold out any hope of a great constitu tional change. Quite the contrary. So far as the Emperor's words are intelligible—and on this, as on other occasions, they are not remarkable for perspicuity—they distinctly give the impression that the French Govern. ment retains its old policy of keeping down "subversive This is about the net significance of the Emperors speech, if it has any, and I will not therefore trauble you with the detailed comments of the Paris press. The Debats thinks that the principal object of the speech is to assure the French Radicals that the edifice which they assail is unshakeable ; the Temps, with keener vision than the rest of the world, thinks there is something in the speech ; the Siecle laughs at his Majesty for ex horting people to conciliation, whilst at the same time assuring them that all the opponents of his Government are actuated by " subversive passions ;" the Avenir Nationale plainly hopes that the Em peror may be astonished by a more extensive display of subversive passions than be anti c ip a t e d ; and, most re e n nt amusing of all, the Constitutionnel fi n d s i n the p g away speech a from mpleotffie c j i v a s l tifi re ca st t r i a on in o t ! i and becoming an ind i en t s 1 . conduct in breaking Imperialist organ. At the last moment four new candidates have presented themselves for the City of Paris. They are General Perrot, MM. Fouchd-Lepelletier, L6vy, and Constant Say. All four were Government candidates in 1863, and each, I need hardly say, got soundlybeaten, and in all probability will again. The Liberals will rejoice at this step on the part of the authorities. By beating the Government candi dates they will damage the Government much more than if they carried the eight circumscriptions without opposition. And that Paris will once more be faithful to the Left is as certain as an election can be. The only circumscription in which an official candidate seems to have any chance is that in which M. Thiers is opposed by M. Devinck. But the chocolate•maker comes on very badly. He addressed a meeting of 800 persons the other day, but his remarks were received with such uproar that be had to sit down. It is said that the library of the Corps L6gislatif is now filled with officials engaged upon a work of questionable honesty, but which has before been known at French elections. The period for holding public political meet ings according to law terminates five days before the elections. Well, these officials are said to be getting up, from Records of the Corps L6gislatif, all manner of charges against the Opposition deputies. These will be freely circulated during the five days when public meetings cannot be held, and when it will be exceedingly difficult for the Left to reply to the accusations brought against them. This is one of the expedients adopted by the Government. The bishops of France have taken to issuing election addresses. One prelate openly exhorts his flock to vote against the official candidates, and in favour of two cleri cals and a Moderate Independent. Other letters deal in exhortations to moderation and peace, and similarly useful generalities. Thunderstorms continue to prevail in several districts of France. During Friday night the camp at Chalons was severely visited. Several tents were blown down, rifles scattered in all directions, and much damage done. The next morning a Captain Lacroix was found lifeless in his bed, baying been struck dead by the electric fluid whilst asleep. The Seinc-Infjrieure Court of Assize has made an example of one of the numerous cashiers who have fallen victims to the prevailing epidemic. A man, named Soleure, employed at the Rouen Western Railway, had been imitating Higgs in a small way—abstracting sums and falsifying his books. But he was foolish enough to steal no more than about £4O, and so got two years' im• prisonment. Had he purloined several thousands, he would, judging by other examples, have got clear. FRANCE.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The review season at Aldershot will soon com mence, and is likely to be opened with considerable animation. The battalions which will be moved to :,he Camp during the drill season are the Ist Bat talion Grenadier Guards, from Dublin ; the 23 Battalion 3d Buffs, from Bristol; 2d Battalion 13th Light Infantry, from Gosport ; 2 , 1 Battalion 23d Royal Welsh Fusileers, from Brecon and Newport; 4th Battalion 60th Rifles, from New Brunswich ; 67th Regiment, from Portsmouth; 2d Battalion Rifle Brigade, from Devonport ; and the 4th Bat talion of the brigade, from Chester. An encamp ment will be formed for the soldiers' families of some of these battalions. The Royal Horse Guards will arrive from Windsor in July, and will be relieved in the North Camp in August by the Ist Life Guards. C and G batteries, 11th brigade Royal Artillery, will arrive shortly, when two bat teries, to be selected by Colonel Smyth, C. 8., will be encamped to the east of the Royal Artillery bar racks. Towards the end of the present month the undermentioned regiments of Militia will arrive at the Camp and bo accommodated as follows :-2d Middlesex, to relieve the Ist battalion 20th Reg On Monday, by order of the Secretary of State for War and the Field Marshal. Commanding-in- Chief, a combined inspe . ctioa of Regulars, Militit, tied Volunteers was held on the Abbey-farm-field, Colchester. The total number of men inspected vas about 2,500, made up as follows :—The two lepot battalions stationed at Colchester, 600 ; the Nest Essex Mditia, 660; the East E5,..F.:,x Rifles 700 ; and the Volunteers (comprising the Chelmsford, Colchester, Witham, Braintree, Tend ring Hundred, Maldon, se., companies), about 500. Col. Farren, C. 8., commanding the garrison of Colchester, was the inspecting officer. The West Essex Militia was connnanded by Col. Ruggles- Brise, the East Essex Itifh-s Alilitia by Col. Kelly, and the Volunteers by Lieut.-Col. Tuffuell. The following appointments were made yesterday tt the Admiralty :—Lieut. James A. T. Bruce, to the Duncan, as Fl kg-Lieutenant to Rear-Admiral • Hornby ; Lieut. E. A. Bolitho, to the Penelope ; Sub.-Lieut. Charles G. Crawford, to the Liverpool ; Thomas F. Abbott, midshipman, to the Scylla, as supernumerary; and Arthur Godfrey Gunner, nominated a naval cadet. THE CUBAN INSURRECTION. A curious incident, says the Pall Mall Gazette, has come to light in connection with the insurrection in Cuba. It has always been suspected that the rebellion was fed from Washington. We are now told that in December 1867 several Cubans met Generals Garfield and Butler, Senators Morton and N3'e, and other Congressmen, by appointment. The Cubans explained that a revolutionary society existed in the island, and that with proper support from the leading public men in America a blow would be struck for freedom at the first favourable opportunity. General Butler promised his assistance in Congress to any project designed for the furtherance of the rebellion. " Nearly all the other gentlemen made like declarations, in a strain of fervid eloquence." A little earlier in the day one or other of these legislators bad doubtless been declaiming against England in Con gress for " sympathing " with the South. The Evening Standard affirms that in the opinion of eminent counsel, Mr. Guest, who has just been returned for Youghal, is disqualified. Another cotton mill has been burnt down. On Sunday morning a fire was discovered at the mill of Messrs. Smith and Son, Heywood, and the result was the destruc tion of property to the amount of £15,000. The .Arclideacomy of Canterbury, which has be come vacant by the death of the Venerable J. Croft, M.A., is the first valuable piece of preferment which has fallen to the gift of the present Archbishop. Annexed to it is a Canonry, worth £l,OOO a year. Archdeacon Croft was one of tbo oldest clergymen iu England. He was educated at St. John's College, Cambridge, where he took his B.A. degree in 1807. . .• - - The North German Correspondent says that the property of the ex-King of Hanover is not absolutely con fiscated. " Let Lim give guarantees for his future good be haviour; let him frankly acknowledge a state of things which he is powerless to change, and the law decreeing the segues. tration of his property will be immediately repealed. Itis even stipulated in the financial convention that the capital shall be placed entirely under his own control so socn as he shall have formally renounced his fruitless pretensions to the throne of Hanover." Her Majesty the Queen, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses Princess Louise, Princess Beatrice, Prince Arthur, and Prince Leopold, left Windsor Castle on Tues- day, and proceeded by train to Paddington, where theywere received by a guard of honour, and escorted to Buckingham Palace. Her Majesty held the second Drawing-room of thir season at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday. 'Their royal hi g h. tresses the Princess Christian, Princess Louise, Princes' Beatrice, Prince Arthur, Prince Leopold, the Prince ant Princess Teck, the Duke of Cambridge, and other members of the Royal family, were present. In attendance on her Ma testy were the Duchess of Argyll, Mistress of the Robes ; the Marchioness of Ely, Lord Camoys, Lord Frederick Kerr the Hon. Flora Macdonald, the Hon. .Florence Seymour' and the great officers of state o f th e R oyal Household ' Tho foreign Ambassadors and Ministers 'laving been i n troduced, upwards of a hundred preen . at'.ons were made A large concourse of persons assembled to view the arrive of the comrany. Great activity has been exhibited at Devonport in forwarding Coastguard :hips for the intended cruise. The Trafalgar and the Mersey left the Sound yesterd .y evening for Portland. The Black Prine, and Valiant, which were placed in dock at Keyhatn on Monday, were removed last evening and placed in Plymouth Sound. The Royal George, which arrived in the Sound at 6 on Monday even ing, was placed in No. 1 dock, Devonport. At 5 a.m. yesterday morning she had her copper repaired, was coaled, stored, and removed at 5.30 p.m. into the Sound. The Donegal, from Ireland, arrived in Plymouth Sound last evening. ANOTHER ARCHDEACON ON THE RELIGIOUS POSITION. ne Yen. Archdeacon Musgrave commence& his annual visitation of the Archdeaconry of Craven on Monday. Addressing the clergy of the district at Skipton, he spoke of the Act for the compulsory abolition of Church-rates as a measure which, under the specious pretext of a compromise, swept well nigh everything away without any appreciable compensation in return. He, however, recommended that wherever circumstances were favourable the new law should be brought into full and practical opera tion. The aggressive sacerdotalism of the Ritualists he designated as the most daring and defiant of all the disturbing elements within the Church. Much as they might see in the composition of Parliament to cause them to doubt its fitness to deal with questions of theological dogma or ritual, it might become a necessity to invoke its interposition if the Church were to be saved from internal convulsion and disruption. It was, perhaps, too late, he observed, to repeat to any advantage the ominous warning- in a former charge with reference to the then impending onslaught on the Irish Church, or to analyse the influences under which public men were confederated in a common sacrilegious revolution and an unhallowed sacrifice to the exigencies of political expe diency. Still, all was not lost when man had done his worst to humble the Church, and sever its connection with the State, and despoil it of half its possessions. The Church would not be left without resources for its spiritual work, or without authority to form its future con stitution and government, without the security of law to enforce its rules within its own communion. Holding still to the same pure faith embodied in its formularies, free from the suspicions which hung around it in the days of its ascendancy, carrying on with unimpaired fervency the duties of its sacred mission, there was encourage ment to believe that it would rise to more than former blessing. PLAYING AT THE GAME "TAKING UP." Apropos of the Disabilities Bill against the Mayor of Cork, it may not be uninteresting to learn how a Lord Mayor of Dublin treated an order to appear at the bar of the Irish House of Commons. Alderman Green, then Lord Mayor, had presided at a public meet ing held to obtain various political objects, amongst which Parliamentary Reform was prominently de manded. The resolutions imputed corruption to the House of Commons, and declared that it did not represent the feeling or possess the confidence of the country. These resolutions were brought under the notice of the House, they were voted to be false and calumnious, and to constitute a breach of privilege. The Lord Mayor's name being subscribed to the proceedings of the meeting, he was ordered to attend at the bar of the House. This order he disregarded, and the Sergeant at-Arms was directed to arrest him. Green avoided the Sergeant until the day arrived for holding his weekly court in the Tholsel. He arrived privately at the Tholsel, and was holding his court when the functionary of the House of Commons entered, and proceeded to arrest him. Green immediately ordered his staffmen to seize the Sergeant for contempt of court, and having signed a warrant, he sent him direct to Newgate. The House were rather surprised when it was announced that their Sergeant-at-Arms was in durance vile, and still more astonished when it was intimated that the Lord Mayor would lock up every person whom they sent on a similar errand. The sheriffs and city magistrates sided with the Lord Mayor, and the volunteer corps of Dublin expressed a determination to support his authority. Even tually the Sergeant was released, but the Lord Mayor was not arrested. By telegram from Belfast we learn that, at a meet - ng of the committee on Tuesday it was resolved that her Majesty be invited to be present at the inauguration of the Albert memorial in June. If unaccepted then, an invitation will be forwarded to the Prince and Princess of Wales. The building is one which does credit to the town and is its greatest ornament. It will cost £5,000. REVIEW AT READING. —On Tuesday one of the largest military gatherings ever known in the neigh bourhood of Reading took place in Bulmershe Park, the seat of Mr. J. J. Wheble, where a great concourse of civilians assembled to witness the manceuvres. The corps taking part in the review were the Royal Berks Militia, commanded by Colonel Lord Norreys ; the Bucks Militia, under the command of Colonel Lord Carington ; the Ist Berks Administrative Battalion of Rifle Volunteers, com manded by Lieut Colonel Loyd Lindsay, V.C., M.P., and Major Sir Paul Hunter ; and the Eton Corps. TILE GREAT CONVENT CASE.—The committee organised to raise funds for the purpose of indemnifying and protecting the community of the Convent of Mercy, in Hull, from the effects of the late trial —" Saurin v. Sta/r"—have postponed for the present the collection of subscriptions, stating as their reason that it is impossible to arrive at any correct estimate of the amount of loss the community may sustain until the whole of the pro ceedings shall have terminated. The committee, however, have by resolution recorded their opinion that it is the duty of the Catholic body to indemnify the Sisters from any loss that may ultimately fall upon them, and the committee intend to resume their duties whenever the amount of damages shall have been ascertained. THE PUBLICJIEALTH.—The rate of mortality in London last week was 23 per 1,000, as compared with 25 in thirteen other large towns of the United Kingdom. The rate in Birmingham was as low as 16, and in Glasgow as high as 36. In the metropolis 2,025 births and 1,421 deaths were registered. The latter approximated closely to the estimated mortality, and exceeded by 133 the number recorded in the previous week. The deaths from zymotic diseases were 293, the corrected average number being 321. Three deaths from smallpox, 21 from measles, 53 from scarlet fever, 7 from diphtheria, 91 from whooping•cough, 9 from typhus fever, 21 from enteric fever, 13 from simple continued fever, and 19 from diarrhoea, were registered. The expected number of deaths by horses or vehicles in the streets is 70 in 18 weeks; the actual numbers registered in the 18 weeks of this year amount to 66. Seven persons were killed by horses, 2by carriages, 4 by omnibuses, 8 by cabs, 20 by vans or waggons, and 25 by carts. The mean temperature during the week was 50 . 5, or 01 below the average. Between the highes'; day and the lowest night temperature there was a range of more than 34 degrees. NETHERLAND INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. —An international exhibition of articles of domestic economy, &c., is to be held in Amsterdam from July to October, under the superintendenc e of the Society for the Encour agement of Manufactures and Mechanical Industry in the Netherlands. Its main object is to bring to the know ledge of the working classes such articles of daily use as combine usefulness and durability. Articles of luxury, art, and ornament will not be admitted. Among the Classes of goods for exhibition are tools and imple ments, household necessaries, plans of workmen's dwellings, lodging and boarding-houses, &c., pre served meat, and clothing of various kinds. The Lord Mayor is the chairman of the London Com mittee, and several well-known names are in the list. The Dutch railway companies have agreed to convey goods in Holland free, and some of the steamboat com panies will also carry articles free to the exhibition, charging only return freight. Goods from British exhi bitors, if forwarded carriage paid to Hull, to Mr. Ringrose, the Netherland Consul, will be sent and returned free from AmsterdaM, so that every arrangement has been made for the convenience of intending exhibitors. SUDDEN DEATH OF TILE LATE EDITOR OF THE "MORNING CHRONICLE."— On Tuesday an inquest was held at King's College (London) Hospital on the body of Mr. Thomas Joyce, aged .r.").5, late editor of the Morning Chronicle, and more recently the editor of the Levant Herald. A constable of the F Reserve said he was on duty in the Strand about ten o'clock last Friday night, when his attention was called to a gentleman lying insensible on the pavement, near the corner of Helmet-court. Thought he was labouring under the effects of drink. He tried to rouse him up, but could not succeed. He then sent for the stretcher, and with the aid of Other constables conveyed thedeceased to 130w -street station. On arriving there, a medical man was at once sent for, who, finding deceased still insensible, ordered his immediate removal to the hospital. John Farrell, a porter, said about ten o'clock last Friday night he was passing along the Strand, and when near Helmet-court lie saw the deceased, who was carrying a large black bag, reel off the pavament and fall heavily . into the road. He ran and lifted the deceased up, and found him to be in a fit. With assistance he placed him a7ainst the wall, and then got some cold water and a:mini:led over his face, but he could not bring him round. A police-constable, the last witness, then came up, and he said to him, " Here is a gentleman in a fit ; lie had better be taken off to the hospital at once." The constable said lie believed be was drunk, and would send for a stretcher and talc , ' him to the station-house, which was accordingly d , ne. He himself was convinced the deceased was not d 1• unk, nor did the vomit smell of drink. The coroner said it was much to be regretted that when policemen found a person lying insensible in the street they at once jumped to the conclusion that the person must be drunk. They should use more judgment. M-. John Lennox,. house physician, said a post mortem examination showed an immense effusion of blood on the right bide of the brain, which had produced an attack of apoplexy, from which cause the deceased had died. lib life could not have been saved had medical aid been at ad when he fell in the street. A. verdict of "D. 1.54, SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Times observes that the Mayor of Cork has relieved Parliament from the discharge of a very unwel• come duty, and has disappointed many curious persons, who had expected the pleasure of fol lowing a proceeding unexampled in recent times, if not absolutely unprecedented. Mr. O'Sullivan has resigned his office. This solution of the difficulty he had created came at last in a very dramatic fashion. There can be no reason for concealing the fact that the whole subject was beset with difficulties. It is a minor point, though it is worth remark as a preliminary objection that the oppor tunities of delaying the progress of a Disability Bill are so numerous that it was impossible to look forward to a speedy deprivation of Mr. O'Sullivan. But even supposing the procedure could have been as swift as it must have been slow, Parliament would still have prosecuted the measure with extreme relutance. We must not be supposed to hint the slightest doubt of the prudence, or indeed, of the necessity, of the course the Government adopted. It may be possible, and even advisable, to provide an improved form of procedure against the chance of a similar case recurring, but substantially the character of the process cannot be altered. We cannot suppose that mayors will ever be subjected to a more direct control of the courts of law. Moreover, it is impossible to believe that the public mind would approve such a limita tion of municipal freedom as would be involved in subject ing mayors to the control of the judges, but there seems no sufficient reason why the suggestion thrown out by Mr. O'Reilly on Tuesday afternoon should not be considered. All of us must, indeed, hope that the necessity of taking steps to remove another mayor may not soon arise, and there will doubtless be a great disposition to let the law and practice remain unchanged, but the experience of the past week ought not to be allowed to pass unregarded, and its proper fruit would be an amendment of procedure is ease a similar difficulty should hereafter arise. The Standard declares that the process of vindicating law and order in the city of Cork, as devised by the Government, has had a ludicrous termination, very much to the relief of Mr. Gladstone, even more than to that of ""' In fact, we are not sure that the ex- Mayor of Cork will not gain new courage and confidence by the result of the extraordinary proceedings of which he was made the subject, and from which he emerges not as the victim, but the hero. Everybody, we are told, ought to be satisfied with this mode of getting rid of an unpleasant business. As to the lesson which the O'Sullivan Disability Bill was intended to teach, that is as much needed now AS ever it was. If it was ever necessary that the mayors should be brought under some sort of control at the hands of the Executive, that necessity certainly becomes no less, but greater, by the result of this O'Sullivan affair. We are not even safe against the renewal of O'Sullivan's pranks, for though Mr. Maguire gave the House a pledge on O'Sullivan's part that his friend would not again seek re-election as Mayor of Cork, we cannot admit this to be a sufficient warrant that such a thing will not happen. It would be absurd, even if Mr. O'Sullivan himself bad given such a pledge, to make that a ground for suspending the action of the Government against mayors who talk treason and advocate murder ; but when, upon the pledge at second hand, without any apology, or retraction, or even consciousness of offence, the only measure which the Government is able to take in vindication of law and order is forthwith suspended, it is difficult to believe that the authors of the O'Sullivan Disability Bill were at any time sincere in their affectation of resentment at the Cork Liberals. The Ministry which did not scruple to empty the gaols of Fenian convicts as a preliminary to their Irish policy may fairly be suspected of not wishing to injure their popularity in Ireland by excess of zeal against such patriots as the Mayor of Cork. The Daily .News rejoices that the Mayor of Cork has shewn himself merciful. When Mr. Maguire on Mondal afternoon read the letter in which his worship announced his retirement from office, the feeling of relief was strong, and almost overcame the disappointment of the crowds who filled the Ministerial and Opposition benches, and of the strangers who had assembled in the various galleries of the House in anticipation of a scene. It would be disrespectful to compare her Majesty's Ministers and the burgesses and knights of the shire who form the eighth Parliament of Queen Victoria to the drunken and disorderly persons whom it was the habit of the Mayor of Cork to release in the early morning from the consequences of their indiscretions. Practically, how ever, the letter which Mr. Maguire read did discharge the Government and the House of Commons from a situa tion scarcely more enviable than that of the prisoners in the Bridewell at Cork. It is something to have got rid at once of Mr. O'Sullivan and the O'Sullivan Disability Bill ; and this double deliverance is due to Mr. O'Sullivan himself. If he had been obstinate he might have very seriously embarrassed Ministers and Parliament. Nothing in his tenure of office has so much become him as his retirement from it. The Telegraph says that on Tuesday afternoon the Mayor of Cork went out of existence like a damp squib. At a quarter to three o'clock he was the most prominent man in the kingdom ; ten minutes later, lie was an ob scurely successful Irish butter merchant, "and none so poor to do him reverence." When the House met at two o'clock for the special purpose of abolishing his civic and seditious highness, everybody was asking everybody else what the renowned potentate would do—just as, during a great continental crisis, we ask each other what will be done by the Emperor Napoleon or Count von Bismarck. But precisely as a theatrical manager might advance to the footlights and announce that bard necessity forced him to delay the appearance of an exciting drama which an eager crowd had come to witness, so Jr. Maguire killed the feverish anxiety of the assembled Igislators by reading a letter from the culprit. Even if no further legislation should be attempted, the indelible record of the present transactions in the journals of the House of Commons, and the effect of the submission announced in the words of the law-breaker himself, will read a much-needed lesson to Ireland—will, in fact, be more instructive and more directly available than any of the precedents that have recently been hunted up. In the fullest shape, the objects of the bill have been attained ; while from a grave and most difficult duty the Government has been relieved by Mr. O'Sullivan's prompt and abject performaftce of the "happy despatch. ' The Star thinks that, looking back at the awkward affair which is now most happily concluded, there are two reasons for satisfaction at the course of events. One is that the amicable and satisfactory settlement has been arrived at by a real submission on the part of the Mayor of Cork, advised by his own and his country's best friends. Irishmen are nothing if not gentlemen, and the idea of the chief magistrate of an Irish community flouting the British Government, and, however unintentionally, encouraging the assassination of British princes, at a moment when all that is great and potent in England is straining every nerve for the accomplishment of Ireland's regeneration according to her own ideas, ought to be as repugnant to the people of that country as it would be to insult an hospitable host or to reject an amende honorable. Ihe other topic for congratulation is the general unreadinesg which has displayed itself amongst English people to rush into arbitrary measures. The O'Sullivan Bill was a jus t and necessary one, but there is no doubt that it was brought in by the Government mainly because they con• ceived it due to the feeling which had been excited in England by Mr. O'Sullivan's offences. But what was the result? No sooner had it been announced than those who had been fiercest in their denunciation of Mr. O'Sullivan began to pause. They asked themselves whether this was exactly the sort of thing an English Parliament ought to be doing. If the bill had continued necessary it would have been passed, but it would have been a midst the reluctance and regrets of all parties. Long may these hesitations be characteristic of England. Long may we be able to say, as we can in this instance with truth, that when It comes to a question of punishing a man for his politics Tories are as unwilling as Liberals to inflict even such pains and penalties as are essential for the maintenance of public peace and decorum. The Herald remarks that after the interval of a veil long " week" Mr. Layard redeemed his pledge, a little after midnight in the sitting of Monday, to make known to the members the famous projection of Government for Placing the new courts on the six acres of terra incognit a standing between Howard-street and the Embankmen t. The conjuror who faced an audience to whom he had PO' mised to enter a pint pot had scarcely a more difficult Per' formance before him. But then Mr. Layard is no common prestidigitateur. What he wants in skill he most certainly makes up in assurance, and he must be encouraged by the feeling of having at least as much confidence in his own acuteness as he has little in that of OP body that hears him. Never, we should think+ on any subject non-political, did a Government make a greater mistake. The scheme which was to set everything right proves to be the culmination of resthetie and financial absurdity ; it is impossible they can perse vere with it ; and, as with some other blunders, our best expectations for them must be that time, which has crushed them under so many misfortunes, may be allowe d gently to drop the curtain over this. When Mr. Layar d tells us that he will give up all that ten years of weary work and great expense have produced, and risk another Iliad of architectural woes on the chance of erecting n fine structure cn a site which has no recommendation on, the side of the Strand, and permits of no better f a c ad e than one built upon a street separated from the river by 3 dead wall, we are obliged to tell him the humiliating- tritn that be deliberately presents us with a project which 013 i: fiscates every possible advantage, and afflicts us with every possible disadvantage which the utmost ing enuity can connect with the erection of a great public month" meat.
