The Inconstant has been sent on to Pembroke to repair damage to the filler. The Aginoourt anchored off the yaoht Clubhouse, and the other ships in the roads. The Lords of the Admiralty will remain at Queenstown for three days. Mr, Childers will then proceed to Pem broke, accompanied by some of his colleagues, for the pur pose of inspecting the yard. FOUNDE.RING OF A SCREW STEAMER, Information has been received in South Shields of the foundering of the screw steamer Norwich, of Sunder land. After taking in a cargo of engines and railway iron for Crmstadt, she left the Tyne Docks, Shields Harbour, at half-past six o'clock. About four hours afterwards it was discovered that the sea was rushing into the vessel by the stoke-hole, and, notwithstanding every effort was made, the water gained so rapidly that the steamer showed signs of sinking. The crew, looking to their safety, launched the two lifeboats, one of which was stove. Into this boat got the chief mate, Mr. Alder, of South Shields, and five seamen, and into the other Captain Noble, of Sunderland, his broker, the second mate, chief engineer, seven seamen, and five firemen, in all sixteen. The boats then left the vessel, which at this time was several miles from Shields. The last view they obtained of the steamer showed that the lights had been drowned out, and that she was quickly sub merging. The wind was strong, and the two boats soon got separated. That containing the chief mate and five seamen was picked up by the Swedish vessel Hoppen. brought into the Tyne, and landed at South Shields, whence the men were forwarded to their homes by the hono rary agent of the Shipwrecked Mariners' Society. With respect to the captain and the fifteen men in the boat with him, their intention was to proceed to Sunderland. THE AVONDALE CATASTROPHE. A terrible suspicion is gaining ground in America with respect to the terrible coal mine disaster at Avondale, Pennsylvania, by which 110 persons lost their lives, and a whole village was desolated. It is feared that the fire in the mine was the work of an incendiary. One witness sit the inquiry said on his oath that he believed t'he mine was intentionally fired, and several others gave evidence which proved that the furnace did not cause the calamity. The opinion of experienced inspectors is, wo aro sorry to find, in favour of this painful supposition, but there are so many ways by which the recklessness so fatally common to minors may have ignited the wood work of the brattice, independently of the furnace that we are not yet compelled to accept this solu tion of the mystery. Many narrow escapes are recorded. Two men were saved by a rule of the pit that a man should forfeit his day's work by being late in the morning. Another came up the shaft twenty minutes before the fire. Some fifty Irishmen refused to work that day, in order to attend an Irish funeral. This accounts for_the predominance of Welshmen in the pit. MAGDALEN-STREET PREACHERS. A peculiar feature of Sunday life in our large cities, and one which never fails to excite the bewildered interest of foreigners, is the open-air preaching, which, though less common now than a few years ago, is still prevalent enough to suggest a puzzling train of thought to those unused to our national ways and manners. Thus an Austrian journalist, who has been recounting his recent experiences of England In a Viennese news paper, dwells with grave perplexity upon a street sermon he heard in a locality which we take to be Shoreditch. The preacher was a woman, middle-aged and respectable looking. She stopped suddenly in a small street leading out of a crowded thoroughfare, took a prayer-book from her pocket, and began to read aloud, whilst people clustered round her by twos and threes until there was a dense ring. After a quarter of an hour's reading she shut up the book, and in a quiet, methodical tone com menced a history of her past life, such as, remarks the Austrian, one would rather have expected to find in secret memoirs sold under the rose than in an open street in t h e face of wondering young girls and grinning boys. Evidently the woman meant well. If talked to she would probably have answered, in that mystic language which itinerant apostles seems so particularly to relish, that she had a mission to perform, and that in publicly humiliating herself on Sunday evenings for the behoof of the inhabitants of Shoreditch she was doing her beet to ream* a misspent life. But a question suggests itself to the Austrian—and will also suggest itself to the Englishman who will look at the case from the German point of view—as to what moral end is really served by the spectacle of repentant Magdalene heaping ashes on their heads, shaming themselves in tame imitation of the penitents in times gone by ? These exhibitions do nothing but mischief. If we allude to this subject, it is that Magdalen preacheresses are to be found elsewhere than in Shoreditch. On Sunday after noons and evenings one o r more o f th em ma y b e h ear d discoursing in well nigh all the crowded districts a London.—Pall Mall Garette. • ' A Dublin correspondent telegraphs that Cardinal Cullen has been received with great enthusiasm at Wexford. In replying to an address from the inhabitants, he said that by founding their demands on justice, and not interfering with the legitimate rights of any class, the tenant would yot enjoy the honest earnings of his labour, and the Catholio child receive the teaching of his own Church, without the danger of imbibing pernicious principles in model schools or Queen's Colleges. A painful excitement has been produced in Ar broath by the non-appearance of one of the fishing boats belonging to the place. The boat, with a crew of three men, had gone out to the white-fishing off the Bell Rock early on Saturday morning but has not since turned up, and no htpo is entertained by tho fishermen of her safety. The weather was gusty cn Satur day morning, and it came on a gale in the forenoon. It is supposed that the unfortunate crew, detained in looking after their lines, had been overtaken by the gale, and so perished. Their names were Thos. Smith, Thos. Beattie and Francis Bremner. They were all married. The Pall Mall Gazette is authorised to state that Earl Russell in no way counselled the destruction of Lord Byron's memoir, which step was decided on at a meet ing hold at Mr. Murray's house, and carried out by Mr. Wilmot Horton and Colonel Doyle under the circumstances set forth in the Diary of Moore edited by Earl Russell (vol. iv. page 191), from which it will be seen that Mr. Moore repaid to Mr. Murray the sum of 2,000 guineas he had received from that gentleman on account of the memoir, and also paid the interest which bad accrued in ,1449 megltiPAo 944484 a till's Advanced.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAUTION TO OWNEILS OF /SIGHT CAB HORSES.—Gcorgo Cook, a cab proprietor, of Dorsot-mews East, appeared before Mr. Tyrwhitt to answer the complaint of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, of causing a horse to be tortured by being worked in an un fit state. Mr. Norton appeared for the defendant, and the chief of of the society was in attendance. Sergeant Hunt, 46 C, deposed to seeing the defendant's horse attached to a cab on the stand in Davies-street, and on examining it he found both knees broken, and seve ral sores, the knees having been plastered over with lamp black and grease to prevent the condition being seen, but on speaking to the defendant's horsekeepor he said the grease was put on to make the hair grow, the horse having fallen down a fortnight before. George Young, an officer of the society, said the defen dant told hint that he ordered his borsekeoper to sew' ou the horse, and that ho knew it Lad bad feet, but not Lac knees. Mr. Arthur Cherry having doscrit•e d the condition of the horse, said that the horsekeeper to the defendant told him that the horse had been down a fortnight ago, and that the grease was put on its knees to make the hair gt ow. For the defence, John Burgess, horsokeoper to the de fendant, was called, and he said the horse was perfectly sound when he sent it out; it had never been down, and ho never said so. Both Mr. Cherry and Sergeant Hum were recalled, and they positively asserted that the witness told them the horse had been down a fortnight ago. Mr. Tyrwhitt, taking into consideration the heavy greenyard fees the defendant would have to pay, fined the defendant 10s. and costa. THAMES. • DARING HIGHWAY ROBllRRY.—Octavius Clements, aged 18 years, and Michael Daniel Briant, 26, were brought before Mr. Benson charged with highway robbery. Mr. Pelham, solicitor, stated the case for the prosecu tion. The irisoners had in the most daring manner robbed a constable on the highway of his watch and chain. Mr. James Horn, the prosecutor, was a constable in the Mill Wall Duck, and had just got out of an omnibus on Sun day night in Limehouse, when he was followed by three men, of whom the prisoners were two. Clements laid hold of Mr. Harris's watch and handed it to Briant. The pro secutor was hustled, and before he could recover from his surprise tLe thieves had made their escape. Mr. Benson remanded the prisoners until Saturday. BOW-STREET. UNMANLY CONDreT OP A HussAmp.—Henry Walton, described as a law waiter, was brought up on a warrant charged with assaulting his wife. It appeared from the evidence of the complainant that she was married to the defendant in 1857, and soon after he deserted her for five years, leaving her penniless and at the mercy of thelworld. .At one time she was compelled to seek for parochial assistance, but by the kindness of her friend she was enabled to collect together some little fur niture. This was ultimately placed in a house in Woburn place by a deed of settlement, to whioh the defendant agreed. The apartments were rented by her, and she in no way required support from her husband. He, however, on the night in question obtained admission, and assaulted her violently by striking her in the face, and demanded to search the house. She stood in bodily fear of him and was compelled to seek the protection of the court. There were no witnesses called on either side. It was urged on the part of the defence that the com plainant annoyed her husband repeatedly at his office, and that he merely went to her home to search for some per son who he had reason to believe was staying there. Mr. Vaughan reprimanded the defendant very severely for his unmanly conduct, fined him £5 or six weeks' im prisonment for the assault., and ordered him to find two sureties in £2O each to answer for his good conduct for 12 months. EXPLOSION OF GAS AT THE GLOBE THEATRE.- Last night just before the rising of the curtain on " Pro gress," and while the band'wers playing the last few bars of the overture, great alarm was created by a violent re port as of fire-arms, followed by a thin cloud of smoke, which was seen issuing from beneath the stage just be hind the footlights, which bad become extinguished by the shock, thus adding to the alarm which might have resulted in a panic, but for the presence of mind displayed by some person connected with the theatre in coming for ward and reassuring the audience. AYLESBURY PLOUGHING MATCH.--The autumn ploughing matches have been resumed this year with their usual vigour. Up to Saturday last, nine, open to all England, had taken place in various parts of the king dom. One of the most interesting matches took place on Wednesday last at Mr. J. K. Fowler's farm at Aylesbury, where Baron Rothschild annually offers a .£lO 10s. cup, for the owner of the team whose man makes the best work in the labourers' class. This naturally induces many gen tlemen to send their crack ploughmen. This year seven teen entered the competition, and some capital work was produced. The fortunate winner was Gurney, in the em ploy of Mr. Peter Gamble, of Halton, who carried off the first prizo and the cup with one of Messrs. Ransome's cele brated ploughs. The All-England prize at this meeting, as well as at Woodstock on the previous day, was won by James Barker, Messrs. Ransome's own ploughman. We understand that Messrs. Ransoms have won seven out of the nine All-England matches mentioned above. LUXURIANT AND BEAUTIFUL HAIR.--MRS, S. A.

To day the citizens assembled in the Guildhall for the purpose of electing an alderman to fill the office of Lord Mayor of London for the ensuing year. Great interest attended the proceedings, in consequence of the proposition to re-elect the present Lord Mayor, Alderman Lawrence, in preference to Mr. Alderman Besley, who stood the first on the rotation list. The Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Sheriffs, having attended Divine service at St. Lawrence, Jewry, they entered the Guildhall, which was very much crowded, in proces sion. Alderman Besley was loudly cheered, but the Lord Mayor was received in anything but a cordial manner. The Common Crier having ordered all persons not being liverymen to with draw on pain of imprisonment, the Common Ser geant then announced that the Lord Mayor and aldermen would withdraw while the election was being proceeded with. Mr. Jones rose amidst loud cheers and disturbance, and said he wished to put SOlll3 questions to the candidates for the office. He contended that the real question had been blinked, because accord ing to his views the present question was not who was to be Lord Mayor, but to whom did the city belong, to the livery men or to a few special in dividuals. The city had had filched from it lands that were worth £30,000 a year, and he wished to know whether the present Lord Mayor, if elected, would use his best endeavour to get back the Bridge House Estates as set out in the report which had been presented to the Common Hall. (Confusion.) Mr. FRICKER having asked some further questions, The LORD MAYOR said one short answer would suffice for the purpose. No profession or promise he had ever made remained unfulfilled. The Common Sergeant then read the list of Aldermen eligible for the office. A great scene of uproar here took place, amidst which Mr. Phillips proposed and Mr. Nottage seconded the re-election of the present Lord Mayor. Mr. Findley then proposed Alderman Wilson, in order that two Aldermen might be returned to the Court of Aldermen. The state of confusion was heightened by the continual calling out of " Three cheers for Alderman Besley," which were given with hearty goodwill. All sorts of interruption took place, until at last the speakers gave way, and then Mr. De Jersey came forward and said what he desired was to protect the livery of London from cliquism, and with that view he proposed Alder man Salomon as a mere matter of form. The names of the Aldermen were then submitted to the meeting—first, Alderman Dakin, which called forth no remark ; next, was Alderman Bes ley, for which every person in the hall held up his hand amidst the loudest cheering. The other names were then put seriatim, but on the name of Alderman Lawrence, t'le Lord Mayor, being sub stituted the most discordant yelling, hooting, and hissing broke forth. Mr. Sheriff Cotton then announced that . the election had fallen upon Alderman Braley and Al- OILDINALILY Siiiitalf3 AND STOCKS. nare Railways st Br:etc! and Exeter ...... 100 70 72 at Caledonian --...... 100 53 834 tit Cambrian 23 Cornwall all 74 3 st Dublin &Bast June lOO 74 75 st Dua„.Porth,&Ab.Junc lOO 70 72 2) East London all 74 8 i 0 1)0 15 - - 2 . ) Do 10 - - at Glasgow &S.

Memorials have been presented to the Premier, and a good dear is being said and written just now, in favour of a division of this diocess. Let us first consider Exeter, as it was and as it is. When . Bishop Phillpotts became bishop in 1831, there were no railways, but now Devon and Cornwall have iron roads running over them in various directions, and they all centre in the ancient city of Exeter, where the new bishop must live. There are 694 benefices in this disocese, and 562 of them have glebe houses. The population in 1861 was 953,703. A vast number of the Cornish fishermen and miners have alway s been Dissenters, and from 1831 to 1869 Dissent has known to have generally made more. rapid progress throughout the diocese than Church principles. To contrast it with other dioceses, we find - Lincoln contains 798 benefices, with a population of 700,026 ; Norwich, 909 benefices, with a population of 667,704 ; and though the see of Ripon has only 430 benefices, the population is 1,167,288; and Lich field, with 570 benefices, contains 1,221,404 souls. It would therefore appear that other dioceses call for division more than Exeter. Av. , bishops can be said to be " overworked " (except, say, the Bishop of Ripon) who have less than 500 benefices subject to them. The sees of Bath and Wells (valued at £5,000 a year) and Exeter (valued at £4,500) adjoin, and are both at the present time vacant. Bath and Wells contains only 481 benefices, with the light population of 422,527 souls. Would not this be the time, by Order in Council, to rearrange the bounda ries of the two dioceses, and might not 100 or 150 parishes be transferred from Exeter to Bath and Wells? Next we approach the diocese of Winchester, which we find with 651 benefioes and a population of 1,267,974, but adjoining it is the lightest diocese in England—namely, Chichester, with but 330 benefices, and 363,735 inhabitants. Might not the income of the see of Chichester, from and after the next avoidance, be raised by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners from £4,200 to £4,500 a year, and Portsmouth, Southampton, the Isle of Wight, and the Channel Islands taken from Winchester and placed under the supervision of the Bishop of Chichester, whose palace is within a few miles of them ? This seems a more easy solution of a difficulty than creating new sees. The now Bishop of Winchester will find plenty to do on the Surrey side of the Thames, as it is a mistake to suppose that Southwark, &o. (as was contemplated from 1845 to 1863), will form part of the diocese of London.—Times. LORD CLARENDON UPON HOME AND FOREIGN AFFAIRS. The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs made an im portant speech (a telegraphic summary of which has already appeared) at the dinner which followed the annual meet ing of the West Hertfordshire Agricultural Society, held at Watford on Monday. After brief remarks by Mr. Brand, M.P., and Lord Ebury, the Earl of Clarendon re sponded to the toast of the "Houses of Parliament and the County Members." His lordship expressed his confidence that there was nothing in the long run to be appre hended from the House of Lords. In eloquence, ability, experience and knowledge it stood—he might say, without any odious comparisons—sccond to none in the world " But the House of Lords has been reproached, and I mu: say with some kind of reason, with not going fast enough —that it did not, in fact, seize the realities of public opinion, and was not alive enough to the enormous pro gress—the astounding progress—of intellectual activity in every ihing which distinguishes the ago in which we live, and which makes us live a century in thirty years." Household suffrage was established, and the House of Lords mui:t recoguise the fact. It must remember that when one House travels by express and the other by the parliamentary train, one sot of travellers will arrive at the terminus very long before the other, and impatience will be exhibited and feelings of ill and bad blood will be created that might be avoided by more steam. "Now, a little more steam seems to me all that is wanted in the House of Lords. and lam sure that there is not anyone here present who is a well-wisher to that institution who will not desire, for the interests of that body and for the country, that a little more steam should be applied." TILE nasir LAND QUESTION. His lordship's remarks on the new Irish question were important :—" There is coming on a great occasion on which the two Houses may unite in harmonious action. The question of the tenure of land in Ireland is a momen tous, a vital, and not a party question. Ido not say that it is not a party question by way of modifying opposition. The party that is in power always preaches to the party out of power moderation and not to be factious. That is a very old system and one that is systematically disre garded. But I say that it is not a party question because each successive Government, Liberal or Con servative, has faithfully promised, has sincerely at tempted, and has signally failed, to legislate for Ireland upon the question. The necessity still exists. It is noto rious. It is acknowledged more and more every day, and therefore do not see why men of all parties, with honest purposes and calm moderation, should not unite together to produce a measure that would be perfectly satisfactory. There is no evil without a remedy; and there are evils connected with the tenure cf land in Ireland that must be abated. The great problem to solve is to do justice to the many and to do injustice to no one. I admit that th ' solution of such a problem is difficult, but it is not impos sible. Indeed, 'think that the word 'impossible' should be erased from the vocabulary of every public manwhen remedial measures are in question, and more especially when the question is the application of them to Ireland. Gentlemen, you will not expect to learn from me what course the Government intend to pursue, and, indeed, I think that if I told you that their minds were made up and that there was a bill ready, you would receive the information with surprise and dissatisfaction, because you would feel aura that in the two months which have passed since Parliament was prorogued the amount of information, of statistics, and of data necessary for the formation of a judgment could not have been collected, and that if any determination has been taken already it would be crude and imperfect. But, although I will not tell you what the Government will do, I will tell you what they will not do. They will not adopt any of those wild and subversive schemes of which we have heard so much during the last few days. I cast no blame upon those who bring them forward. They, likely enough, may believe in the possibility of the accom plishment of what they propose; but I say, gentlemen, that they are enemies of equitable settlement, which is the only settlement we can look forward to ; and those who strive and labour to excite expectations that are extravagant and cannot be realised are no friends of the Irish people. But the Irish people, whatever may be their faults, are not fools, They are a quick-sighted people, and when the time comes I shall expect they will be amenable to reason, if that which is just and practicable is offered to them. I have now the honour of addressing practical men, and I would ask any gentleman here present to take a farm at will on which the landlord never did and never intended to do anything. Then, suppose that ho built upon that farm a house and homestead, erected fences, and drained it, and was then turned out at six months' notice by the landlord, who took to himself the whole benefit of the tenant's labour and expenditure : I ask if there could be language strong enough in this country—in those meetings that are now being held and in the Press—to condemn the felonious act of such a landlord as that. Far be it from me to say that any such proceedings are resorted to on the large and well managed estates in Ireland, of which I could give you a long list. But the power does exist. It is too often exercised, and it ought to be abated, because so long as it exists there can be no confidence between landlord and tenant. Ido not say that exceptional legislation may not be necessary with reference to the wants, the wishes, and the usages of an agricultural people like the Irish ; but I believe that if the rights of property are scrupulously up held, and its duties rigidly enforced by law, a measure will be produced which will entitle the Government and Parliament to say they have fulfilled their obligations and entitle them to the support and praise of every honest man PEACE ABROAD. Earl Clarendon was confident that no fear of a European outbreak need be entertained. "In the office I have the honour to hold I am not only enabled but compelled to know much of what passes in foreign countries and in the councils of foreign countries. I have been for some time on the Continent, and I returned last week. I had there the opportunity of collecting opinions, and I have seen some persons who exercise no little influence on the destinies of Europe, and, although I have not the gift of prophecy, though I do not pretend to see furthor into futurity than other men, yet I cannot help, on this occa sion, expressingmy belief that at no time within the last three years—at no time since the war between Prussia and Austria—have we had a fairer prospect of maintaining the inestimable blessings of peace." 'Three men and a woman were drowned by the upsetting of a boat at Trowse Eye, near Norwich, on Monday evening. Only three of the bodies have yet been discovered. HARBOURING TIIE POLICE WHILE ON DUTY.—At Marlborough -street Police-court, on Tuesday, Mr. Strange, the managing director of the Alhambra Music Hall, was summoned by order of the Police Commissioners for har bouring five constable while on duty. It seems that it has been the custom for some years at the Alhambra to give the constables on duty in the vicinity a glass of beer whon tho performances were over. Superintendent Dunlop said it was a serious matter as the beats were left unprotected for the time. The magistrate dismissed the sutnnons as the iteftwlant was not in London at the time motioned.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25f. 153. per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 Vic fold. per ounce for standard gold, it appears th,t gold at the above price is slightly dearer in Paris than in London. The course of exchange at New York on Loudon for bills at GO days' sight was 1071 per cent on the 20th inst. At this rate there would be a loss on the transmission of gold from the United States.

After a variety of entertainments the bei o of the evening made a speech, in which he denounced is no measured terms the English press. Ile said the Int ia who had persecuted him were the baso supporters of the House of Commons and of the House of Lords, and that tyrannical, most malignant body on earth, he meant the writers of the press —venomous libellers, treacheroLs cowards and slanderers. Ile was not allowed to live in 1;14,- land, but ho could, and would fight Freedom's battle betty in the land of the Star-Spangled Banner.—Mr. Broadhead, who made himself some time ago notorious in connectiou with the Trades' Unions in Sheffield, is also about to emi grate; but while Finlen goes out as a roaring lion to de nounce the aristocracy, Broadhead is declared to have bo come meek and mild, to have repented greatly of the part ho therein took, a change certified to by divers clergymen. His license being refused, he is compelled to emigrate, and subscriptions have been made to give him a start in life ha the new land.
