THIS EVENING, at 7, MY WIFE'S OUT. Followed by the Grand Pantomime, PUSS IN BOOTS. Commence at T. A Conference has been effectual, before now, in stopping bloodshed, or in preventing it. But it is as powerless as anything else that could be named, as a means for putting an end to all war, as a prac tical method for establishing, at last, for once and for all, of a reign of Universal Brotherhood. It is nothing less than idle and fantastic to the last degree to indulge in these floating day-dreams. One of the only glimmerings of hope really anywhere to be found that the horrors of war may be diminished, at any rate in the frequency of their recurrence, comes to us from the consideration that science has of late years been rendering it, and is still for that matter even now rendering it more and more appal lingly destructive. Time was when Captain WARNER with his long-range theory was simply laughed at as a visionary. It was like talking of the Irishman's gun warranted to shoot round the corner. The mention of his name provoked a laugh and a shrug of the shoulders. It was almost the same in regard to LieutenantWAGuoßN when that enterprising innovator first broached his notion iu respect to an overland journey to llindostan. While it is a matter of history that Dr. LARDNER pro nounced the idea of any steam-ship ever crossing the Atlantic ocean, to be one simply ridiculous. Never theless, in spite of all this, the Road to India is overland—the screw-propeller is perpetually boring its way across the Atlantic to and fro between the Old World and the New—WARNER has been sur passed by WHlTwonnt—floating batteries have ren dered land fortifications as obsolete as chain-armour or the catapult, as the cross-bow or the battle-axe --bullets have been made explosive, and rifles breech-loaders, while gunpowder has been eclipsed altogether as a destructive agency by such infernal compounds as that of nitro-glycerine. Missiles and projectiles are becoming so appalling, in fact, that the time may come even yet when nations will think more than twice before they rush to arms. ONE of the earliest motions made by private members on the reassembling of the house of Commons will be that moved by Mr. HENRY BERKELEY, and supported by Sir HENRY BITLIVER, in behalf of the Ballot. This question was for some years under the charge of the philosophical Mr. GROTE. Of late it has been entrusted to the keeping of the jocose Mr. BERKELEY. Under his management the subject cannot be said to have made much progress. It is one thing to amuse the llouse, another to convince it; it is one thing to raise cheers and laughter in the debate, another to win a majority in the division. Mr. BERKELEY was better fitted for the former object than for the latter. lie used to make his annual motion entertaining enough, but he never succeeded in getting it out of the region of joke. With all his earnestness, therefore, it may be doubted if he has not rather retarded than advanced the Ballot'. It is dangerous for any question to be associated in the minds of M.P.'s with laughter, even though the laughter be with, not at the advocate. Let the jester be ever so sincere he will not get rid of the idea that his reform is a harmless crotchet, to be laughed at and joked over, but never to be realised. The supporters of the Ballot have, therefore, cause to regret that There is a further disadvantage in secret voting : it permits crotcheteers to carry out their crotchets without remonstrance. There are some persons who are ever taking up some petty question and making that the test of their political orthodoxy. They hold up a sixpence close to their eyes, and the sixpence shuts out the whole universe. They take up such topics as the inspection of nunneries and the regulation of clerical vestments, and determine that they will vote for no man who does not promise to do what they wish. If they vote secretly, the other electors have no control over them ,no control of the proper kind—that moral control which a sound mind ought always to exercise upon a mind which has a tendency to monomania. Another disadvantage of the Ballot is that it violates the principle of the franchise being a trust to be exercised for the good of others. This principle is undoubtedly not so important as it was before the Reform Bill. There are more voters, therefore the elector is trustee for fewer non-electors ; yet, so long as the suffrage is not universal, the elector must always be to a certain extent responsible to the non-elector. Filially, the Ballot is a remedy, not a preventive. We would rather abolish intimidation than frustrate it. We would educate the landowners and the clergy and the manufacturers, to see that they are as much guilty of wrong-doing in robbing a man of his vote and doing violence to his conscience as they are in taking his purse or doing violence to his person. About a century ago it was proposed that M.P.'s should have the Ballot in order to protect them against the wrath of the Court. But the Court has been educated into a better state of things. The Sovereign no longer rewards the QUEEN'S " friends," nor sends messages of royal displeAsure to those who have not voted according to the royal will. We would rather see this mode of treatment adopted with the intimidators of electors. We frankly confess, however, that the prospect of doing so is not hopeful, and that with the increase in the number of poor electors we can the less afford to wait for a change which seems as remote as it is desirable. On the other hand, the undeniable advantages of the Ballot are not few. The protection of the dependent voter, which (rather than the preven tion of bribery) is the main object of the Ballot, would be undoubtedly secured, and the painful con flicts between conscience and interest, between the duty to the State and the duty to the family, would be spared. Then, too, bribery would certainly be diminished, though not, we think, be wholly pre vented. So long as small constituencies continue to exist it would be quite possible for a candidate to adopt Mr. LOWE'S payment for results, and promise that if he were elected there would be so much money forthcoming ; if not elected, there would not be a farthing. But the great temp tation to bribery would cease with the abo lition of published statements of the poll. It is about two o'clock in the afternoon, when the candi dates are neck and neck, when men's blood is hot and their passions are roused, that the agents, if not the principals, attempt to win by purchasing the votes of the venal who have been waiting for this opportunity. And if the election were conducted secretly it would probably be conducted orderly. For lack of information there would be no excited mobs hustling electors and hooting candi dates. On the whole, there are but very few now, we should conceive, but what must admit that the balance is in favour of the Ballot. Certainly, its undeniable advantages are too great for any hide pendent journalist to oppose it. James Hill, 212 T, said he was called last night at half.•past seven to Dr. Keen's, in Oakley-street, Chelsea, where he found the prisoner, who had taken a dose of laudanum. He was then quite out of danger, but admitted having taken laudanum from a bottle, which was found on him almost drained dry. It had been bought at Mr. Carr's, 342, King's road, and was marked poison, and had contained six drachms, value 6d. Prisoner admitted taking the laudanum, which he said he bought when under the influence of liquor at Mr. Carr's. He had been drinking since Christmas, and was in that state of despondency that he did not know what he was doing, otherwise he had nothing on his mind that would induce him to take his life. _ . ELECTION PETITIONS.—Judge Keogh has made an order that Mr. M'Clure, M.P., should be sup plied on or before the 22d inst. with a bill of particulars, specifying the alleged acts of bribery charged in the peti tion against his return for the borough of Belfast. Mr. M'Clure, in his affidavit, denied the charges. A similar order was made in the matter of the Carrickfergus peti tion. Mr._ Selfe remanded him to Saturday week, and directed a summons to issue against the druggist. THAMES. LUXURIANT AND BEAUTIFUL ITAIR.—MRS. S. A.

The prosecutrix is an old offender, and has been five years in penal servitude for felony. She is re formed, is married, and has been well conducted of late. The female prisoner was stated by Roche, the gaoler, to have been in custody often, and she had been convicted of felonies, assaults, drunkeness, and everything that was bad. Other officers spoke of her in the same manner, and said she was a dangerous character.

The prosecutrix said that she was met last night by the woman Cunningham, who demanded gin of her, and on her refusal to give her any, made an attack upon her and stole ss. from her hands. There were marks of violence on the prosecutrix, who said Cunningham used a key and struck her with it several times. A police-constable, Alfred Burgoyne, 115 11, was taking Cunningham to the station-house when the male prisoner interfered. He was told to go about his business, and he struck the constable, and tried to rescue the woman. Both were taken into custody. Mr. Paget doubted whether a robbery had been committed, and sentenced Cunningham to be im prisoned for two months and hard labour, and Duggan to one month's imprisonment and hard labour. " Good bye, Kate ; good luck to you," exclaimed many voices at the back of the court. .

High readings are now reported from the south : at Rochefort the reading is nearly (r6in. above that at Nairn. Temperature has risen on our N. and E. coasts : in the S. little difference is perceptible. Moderate south-westerly winds pre. vailed yesterday, and continues this morning. Much fog and mist prevailed over our islands during yesterday, and mist is still reported at places—chiefly in the W. A. small amount of rain has fallen in the south. The sky is generally overcast. Mr. Tyrwhitt, when imposing a penalty a few days ago on a theatrical dressmaker, for employing women after half-past four on Saturday, stated that after the Ist January, 1869, employmeet must cease at two o'clock on Saturday. Tho magistrate, if correctly reported, has over looked one of the prominent exceptions under the Workshops Regulation Act, which legalises the employment of milliners and dressmakers till four o'clock on Saturdays provided they do not begin work before eight o'clock in the morning. If work is begun at six on Saturday morning, then it must cease at two; if at seven, then at three; if At eight, then at four. No work is permitted after four o'clock on Saturdays. The Bishop of Rochester took tea with about UOO of his old parishioners at Kidderminster on Tuesday last, on ! the' occasion of the annual sok& of the Church of England Mutual Improvement Society. In his speech the Bishop said it was still an enigma to him why the society did not succeed more. Working mon as a body did not seem ready to avail themselves with pleasure and delight of an educational society. There had been a great deal of talk about educat . on for many years, but, owing to one cause or another, he did not think much had been done, or as much as they might now reasonably ex pect, he did not say from the present Parliament, but from the present and those that were to come after it.

Some of the operative stone masons of Bradford have renewed the old struggle against the introduction of machinery in their trade. Tho men in the employ of Messrs. Beanland, of that town, a short time since, protested against the use of machinery in dressing stone to a greater extent than suited the men them selves. The employers terminated the dispute by agreeing that some stones dressed by machinery should be redressed by hand. A difficulty having again arisen as to the extent to which the machinery has been employed, the mesters resolved that the men should dress the stones entirely by hand. It appears, however, that the work would not he remunerative to the men unlessrnachinery is partially used, and another strike has taken place. At a meeting of the directors of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, on Wednesday a resolution was adopted declaring that the comme , cial treaty between England and France "has proved highly beneficial to lie commerce and the general prosperity of the two nn dons." At the same time, it was urged that an effort should be made to obtain a reduction of "the very high duties en certain classes of English manufactures," and a sub-com tulttee was appointed to prepare a list of the articles belong tag to the trade of this district which may be regarded as unduly weighted iu exiatlpg tariff, THE PRIVY COUNCIL AND THE MACKONOCHJE CASL; The Record declares that the judgment of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in re Mr. Mackonochie was unanimous. " The report was drawn up by Lord Cairns, who had been deputed to discharge that office, after the arguments in the case had been considered and the judgment had been agreed on by the Committee. The report when drawn up was then submitted in print for the approval, suggestions, and criticisms of each sepa rate member, and, after having been finally approved by Lord Westbury, and, as we are informed, by every member of tho Judicial Committee, the judgment, so manipulated and agreed on, was delivered by Lord Cairns, in the presence of four of the members, all five publicly acting in concert. Lord Westbury, in conformity with the tenour of his pointed and sagacious remarks during the arguments, gave his important sanction to the final report." THE PRIME MINISTER AND THE CLERGY The Rtv. J. IL Wankisn, of Bournemouth, sends to the papers a eorrespondence between himself and Mr. Gladstone. In a letter to the Prime Minis ter, the rev. gentleman wished to know whether in his speech to his Greenwich constituents Mr. Gladstone meant to accuse the clergy of improperly using their influence at the last election, and whether, to support that accusation, ho bad " examined the conduct of the 20,000 men who form the body of the clergy, or that of the majority of that number." Mr. Wanklyn wished for an answer "in order to give the same publicity to his (Mr. Gladstone's) explanation as his accusation had received." But the Prime Minister simply acknowledges the receipt of the letter through his private secretary, as follows : " 10, Downing-street, Whitehall, Dec. 28, 1868.

A conference of teachers and other persons interested in middle-class education, for the purpose of discussing the recommendations made by the Schools Inquiry Commis sioners in their recent report, was held yesterday after noon, in London, under the presidency of the Rev. W. Haig-Brown, head-master of the Charterhouse School, and President of the Council of the College of Preceptors, under whose auspices the meeting was convened. The subjects set down for discussion were six, viz. : 1. "Qualifications of schoolmasters ;" 2. "Grades of schools ;" 3. " Privileges to be granted to registered private schools ; what can be done to improve private schools and make the profession attractive to men of ability ;" 4. " Inspection and examination of schools by a central authority, and the relative advantages of inspection and examination ;" 5. " Constitution of the proposed council of examinations :" 6. "Education of girls." Dr. HAIGH BROWN, in opening the proceedings, briefly referred to the importance of the subject which the con ference had met to discuss. It was impossible, he said, to overrate the extent of the bearing of the report of the commissioners upon individuals and the country at large, and it was the duty of all freely to canvass the issues they had raised. The resolutions sub mitted were only for the purpose of guiding the discussion of the meeting without waste of time to the pith of the matters they were called upon to consider. Having laid down the rule that all the speakers should con fine themselves to ten minutes for their speeches, and stated that letters had been received from a number of gentlemen who had intended to be present, but were prevented, the chairman called upon Mr. Rule to read an analysis of the suggestions of the Royal Commissioners on the first sub iect. This being done, Mr. RULE moved the first resolu tion, requiring each teacher—whether of public or private schools—granted privileges by Parliament to give evidence of fitness. He referred largely to Mr. Lowe's speeches on education, arguing that the Legisla ture should not recognise any school which had not a head-master, at all events, duly qualified ; while at the same time it shcal not prevent any one from esta blishing a school, even if not qualified. The resolution was seconded by Mr. DYER, who pointed out that at present no machinery existed by which a middle-class schoolmaster could become properly qualified. The CHAIRMAN here intimated that at a meeting of the College of Preceptors held the previous evening, a resolu tion had been passed to the effect that a professorship of the theory and practice of education should be esta blished. Mr. WYLES thought that the present schools, if brought up to the standard the meeting hoped they would eventually possess,would furnish ample means for training schoolmasters, and that no normal schools for that purpose were needed. Dr. HODGSON regretted that on the Royal Commission, admirably constituted as it was, there was no one actually engaged inthe duties of the scholastic profession. An amendment to the resolution was moved and seconded freeing private schools from the requirements of the resolution for two years. Mr. Payne, Mr. Shapcott, Dr. Klein (who creates much amusement by the emphatic assertion that it was a well-known fact that the schools of Prussia were much superior to these of England), Mr. Gawtrop, Dr. Oppler, Mr. Behrens, Mr. Dyason, Mr. Lupin, and the Rev. Mr. Dorsay, having spoke on the subject, The Rev. A. CORDER moved as an amendment " That this Conference deprecates any legal enactment which should entitle any teacher to privileges derived from State recognition, except in cases where the State supplies the funds, and the recognition is in consequence of the results of teaching." This was seconded by Mr. NEWCOME, and supported by the Rev. Mr. HODGSON, who, amidst much laughter, con tended that the private schoolmaster in this country had just the social position he deserved. After some further discussion, the first resolution was carried, the amendments proposed by Mr. Conder and Mr. Angel respectively being lost by large majorities. The second resolution on the first subject, approving of a university examination :for schoolmasters in " the theory and practice of teaching," was introduced by Mr. Payne. The resolution was seconded by Mr. RICHLEY, and to it an amendment was moved by Mr. WELLS, endorsing the suggestion of the Royal Commissioners, that there should be a central examining body to test the qualifications of schoolmasters. The resolution and amendment provoked much discus sion. It was denied that the universities were bodies at all adapted to the task of testing men in the " theory and practice of education." A very energetic discussion ensued. The result was that a resolution was passed simply calling for " an ex amining body" having the confidence of the Dublic to test the fitness of schoolmasters.

The correspondence between the parties will be published on Saturday. 'The Manchester City Council unanimously re solved, on Wednesday, to petition Parliament in favour of the abolition of public nominations at Parliamen tary elections, and also of public declarations of the poll. It is urged against the present system that it involves " considerable expense," is " useless and in jurious," "tends to produce strife and ill-feeling," and "re sults frequently in most serious consequences." It is pro posed that nominations in writing, as at municipal elections, should be substituted, "such guarantees and securities being required as to expenses to be incurred as may be deemed necessary." GOVERNMENT IN FRANCA The Paris papers are republishing a remarkable letter ant to the Message). de Toulouse by Baron S6gnier, the Procureur-Imperial at Toulouse. Baron SSgnier, has resigned his office, because ho has acted with too much moderation in the press trial, and has been bullied for it. In a letter he informs the Procureur• General of his resignation. He makes the following comments upon it :—" The Garde des Sceaux thinks he cannot tolerate any longer my tepid speeches in press matters. Now, to address the court under the surveillance of a secret police, and to press for judgments dictated beforehand in Paris by th 6 Minister of Justice, are two things which do not suit me,:and I must beg you to transmit my resignation to the Garde des Sceaux. There is nothing wilful in this resignation, it is imposed upon me by the unjust and bitter reproaches which have been heaped upon me for some time past on account of my conduct in press affairs. I am disgraced for having desired to serve the Emperor with that moderation and dignity which was recommended by the Garde des Sceaux himself in his circular of June 4, 1868." This epistle, forming part of a letter to the editor of the Message). de Toulouse, has been published, and has created great sensation in France. Baron St'gnier was not suffi• ciently energetic in the recent press trials. He was urged by the Minister of Justice to skew more zeal, and, disapproving of these Bandin prosecutions altogether, he ultimately resigned. He thus abandons his professional career, and his hope of advancement. As the Paris journals remark, his conscience must have been sorely tried before he took such a step. The Tenzps considers this matter of the greatest importance. There is no doubt that it will act unfavourably against the Government. When officials desire to be mild, and are compelled to resign because they are asked to be severe, the public can draw but one conclusion—that France is governed by police, and that it is likely to remain so under the Empire. THE EXTRAORDINARY CONFESSION OF MURDER At the Lambeth Police-court, on Thursday afternoon, William Sheward, aged 57, giving his address as the Key and Castle Tavern, St. Martin's-at-Oak, Norwich, was conveyed in a cab by Oakes, the gaoler, from Horsemonger-lane Gaol, and placed in the dock, before Mr. Woolrych, charged, on his own confession, with wilfully murdering his first wife, Martha, at Norwich, on the 15th of June, 1851. The prisoner appeared to be more calm than on the last occasion, and exhibited not the slightest emotion during the proceedings. The evidence given by Inspector Davis, of the r division, on the last occasion was read over. Mr. Woolrych: What further evidence is there? Inspector Davis : I have received a communication froni Mr. Hickman, chief constable of Norwich, with reference to the discovery of human remains about the time men• tioned by the prisoner, in 1851, when the murder was per• petrated. I have received particulars from Mr. Hick• man of the discovery of human remains around the dill" , trict of Norwich in June and July, 1851. On the 21st June a portion of a human body was picked up in the outskirtee l and afterwards some forty pieces of flesh and bone, includ. ing two feet and one hand—the left—from which the rifle finger was missing. The central parts are still preserved in spirits at Norwich. The remains when collected were proved to be those of a female. The head was never dis' covered, but a portion of a skull was found in a field.—+' Mr. Woolrych : Was an inquest held ?—Witness : No sir.-4 Mr. Woolrych : That seems very unaccountable.—Wit• ness : There seemed to be a want of evidence then.—Mr. Woolrych : Is there anything known of the prisoners' wife?, —Witness : Yes, your worship ; she dilappeared about the time mentioned by prisoner, and was not afterwards heard of. A waistcoat and shirt all covered with blood were found, in a field. Every effort appears to have been made by the magistrates and police with regard to the remains, but without success. The magistrates have this week issued a warrant against the prisoner, and in consequence of the confession made Mr. Hickman was afraid personal violence would be offered to the prisoner on hie appearance at Norwich, as immense excitement now pre' vailed. Preparations, however, had been made to have A body of police in waiting at the Norwich station to receive the prisoner and protect him. Mr. Woolrych : The best mode, then, will be to convel, him to Norwich at once ; but it does seem extraordii nary that no steps were taken beyond certain inquii ries when the remains were found, and the coincidence, also of the disappearance of prisoner's wife about the, same time. However, there is sufficient before We to bind over Mr. Davis, and give him a warrant to take nrisoner to Norwich. The whole of the depositions were then read over and signed. Mr. Woolrych (to prisoner) : h o yo.l wish to mit ally question? Prisoner (calmly) : Yes, sir. I wish to ask tb' witnest if he is sure I made use of the word " wilful." Witness : Yes, you did. lam quite sure. Prisoner : That is all I have to ask. The rest is Pe' fectly correct. Mr. Davis was then bound over, and, the prisonef talked calmly and quietly from the dock. LAW AND POLICE ASSAULT ON TRE POLICE.—Three men have Peen tried at the Middlesex Sessions for an assault on the police e t Clerkenwell. They were attempting to enter a house , when the police attempted to take them.
