It is matter of uncertainty even now whether the revo lution which has so recently taken place there will result in a Republic or in a Constitutional Monarchy. At the time of the QUEEN'S compulsory abdication and flight beyond the Pyrenees, the notion of a Re publican form of Government for Spain seemed to be little less than simply preposterous. The nzot of the hour was that there could be no Republic because there were no Republicans. Brief though the interval is which has elapsed since those startling occurrences, advocates of Republicanism have appeared here and there among the Spanish population, and have increased and multiplied by a sort of Democratic contagion. A Republic is sill improbable, but at any rate it is no longer impossible. The haughtiest race in Christendom is beginning to take kindly enough to those poliical notions which remlted among their Galilean neighbours eighty years ago in the inscribing upon the national banners, in lieu of the old royal device, the three words at the heart of Republicanism or of Democracy_ Liberty, Equality. Fraternity. The difficulty now is as to whom Spain should choose for her principal ruler—. whether as Constitutional Sovereign or as Republican President. " Under which King ?" is yet the be wilderment of the monarchists. Under which Demo cratic chief ? is yet the puzzle of those hankering after Republicanism.

THE SUN, LONDON, UESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 5, '1869 times—that then the doubt was as to whether tl echo the first words of Othello upon his earliest en ;ranee upon the scene, "'Tis better as it is." • The peoples of the earth, whenever they become revolu tionists, are so conscious of their power, that they can afford to be merciful. LORD CLARENDON'S arrangements with Mr. Bun- LINGAME mark a new epoch in our foreign policy. Disputes between English residents in China and the Chinese are to be referred to the central Government at Pekin, instead of being left to the decision of the local authorities. That is one impor tant point gained in behalf of peace. But far more important are the instructions which have been sent out, that in case of disputes arising the matters of controversy shall be referred home to the British Government before British officers perform any act of hostilities, and that the British residents should 44 pay duo respect not only to the laws of China, but to the usages and feelings of the Chinese people." The importance of these two last instructions will be best understood when we say that if they had been in force thirty-five years ago not one of the China wars would have taken place. Englishmen would not now have to blush as they read that most shameful history which tells how we Christians made war with a heathen sovereign because lie refused to allow our merchants to ruin his subjects body and soul by the introduction of opium. It is just thirty-five years since the opium disputes commenced; it is just thirty years since the Emperor of CHINA ordered the trade with England to cease because our traders insisted upon smuggling in the poison. Then commenced the long series of wars in which might prevailed over right—Captain ELLIOT'S campaign of 1841, Sir HENRY POTTINGER'S of 1842, Sir JOHN BOWRING'S of 1850, Lord ELGIN'S of 1800, all full of that "glory" which is shame, and resulting in the wholesale degradation of the Chinese people, and the undermining of the Chinese throne. The mischief has been done, and we are now issuing regulations to prevent it. They are thirty years too late; but they at least shew that we have a higher standard of international morals than our ancestors had. They unlearnt the lesson which their predecessors had taught them—that the Frenchman is the Englishman's natural enemy. We have un learnt the lesson which our predecessors taught us-- that an Englishman is a chartered libertine, with full right to laugh at and bully all foreigners who are not strong enough to punish him for his insolence. It is with immense satisfaction that we see our statesmen adopting, more and more every year, the principle for which we have long contended, that among nations as among individuals the golden rule should prevail—" Do unto others as ye would be done by." MILITARY AND NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Captain Samuel Goddard, a Military Knight of Windsor, upon the Royal foundation, died on Sun day at his residence in the Lower Ward of Windsor Castle. He was formerly in the 14th (Bucking hamshire) Regiment of Foot, and in that regiment he saw very lengthened service. He was present at the storming of Carnbray and the battle of Wa terloo. The next service he saw was in the East Indies, being present at the siege of Hattras, and in the campaign of 1817-18 in the Deccan. Be sides the Waterloo and Indian medals, Captain Goddard received a reward for distinguished ser vice. It was he, however, who originated the measure by which there was accorded the nominal rank of captain to meritorious quartermasters of long service. The paddlewheel steamer Dee, 2, 220-horse power, Navigating Lieutenant Gilpin in charge, arrived at Chatham yesterday from Portsmouth with a cargo of hemp and other stores removed to Chatham, in consequence of the ropemaking estab lishment at Portsmouth being abolished. In enter ing the harbour the Dee again took the ground on one of the shoals near the spot where she grounded on the last occasion of her steaming into the har bour, in consequence of there being no Queen's pilot on board, as was the case at the former occur rence. After completing the discharge or her cargo she will proceed round to the Thames with stores for Woolwich and Deptford dockyards. The departure from Bombay on the Ist inst. of her Majesty's Indian troopship Malabar has been announced, per Suez, with troops destined for Portsmouth. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Comtnander Robert P. Dennis toun, to the Royal George ; Lieut. Edward A. Bolitbo, to the Penelope ; Sub-Lieut. Edward J. Wade, to the Fly; and James 11. Wallis, assist.- paymaster to the Fisgard, as supernumerary. The undermentioned have been notninatad naval cadets :—James W. Litle, Hubert A. "Warren, Richard H. F. W. Wilson, Walter V. Anson, Wm. J. ti. Dadson, James G. Duberly, John 0. L'owe, Henry A. S. Stenhope, Eugene A. Sandford, C, has. E. Thompson, and Horner S. Douglas. even the veteran ESPARTERO, under the astounding title of King BALDO3IERO—each of these personages in turn has been spoken of as a not imporisible successor of Queen ISABELLA 11. Not one in dividual amongst them, however, has evidenced the slightest eagerness to grasp at the glittering bauble lately rolled in the dust of a street riot, it might rather be said, than cast down by anything so formidable as a national revolution. Sovereigns are discrowned of late years more by the threat of vio lence than by actual violence itself. The King of NAPLES disappeared from his capital, as one might almost say, at the stamp of GARIBALDI'S foot on Sicily. Queen ISABELLA hurriedly withdrew to the frontier, taking shelter under the eagles of NAPOLEON, at the mere tidings of the approach of PRlM—for the people of Madrid had to wait some days after the QUEEN'S departure before PRIM made his triumphal entrance into the capital. Twenty years ago, when the younger branch of the BOURBON dynasty suc cumbed in the person of Louis PHILIPPE, who cleared out of the way to make room for the suddenly im provised Provisional Government, hardly one con temptuous thought was vouchsafed to the poor old fugitive KING, who was left to carry out his own devices according to his own pleasure in the manner and circumstances of his rather ignominious departure ! Now taking refuge be hind a stove at a post-house, through fear of pursuers who did not pursue him —now shaving off his mutton chop whiskers by way of a disguise when no disguise at all was really necessary —now under the by no means recondite pseudonym of Mr. SMITH landing on the English coast, a wretched woe-begone figure, huddled up in an old pea-jacket. With remi niscences of Royalty before them like these, it can hardly be wondered at that those whose claims have recently been under discussion elsewhere than in Spain, as more or less suitable candidates for eleva tion to the Spanish Throne, have betrayed no especial eagerness to avail themselves of that prof fered, or, at any rate, suggested opportunity. " Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown," nowa days, no less than in the age of ANNE BOLEYNE or of SHAKSPERE. Only, there is this difference in the uneasiness with which the wearer of the crown takes his repose now, as compared with ,he uneasiness experienced in the same way in earlier head might not come off as well as the crown whereas now the ordeal to be passed through is the ignominy of a sort of charivari of ridicule. Re volutionists of yore were sanguinary. Those of to-day are s!mply contemptuous. CHARLES I. of England, and Louis XVI. of France, were decapitated on the scaffold amidst the gleam of the pikes and the rolling of the drums, here of the Roundheads, here of the Jacobins. King GEORGE of Hanover and Queen ISABELLA of Spain are simply asked to pack up their luggage and leave by the earliest train in any way convenient to themselves. To LATEST INTELL MENGE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 4. The Porte has decided that Greeks by birth or of Greek parentage, provided the latter be born i❑ Turkey, shall be allowed to remain in the country subject to Turkish laws. The Porte insists, how ever, upon the expulsion of all persons who lay claim to Greek nationality merely by virtue of adoption, unless they are willing to become Turkish subjects. The Turquie publishes an article under the head, "The Meeting of the Conference," in which it says " Russia having taken initiatory steps towards eliciting a diplomatic decision, has done so under the veil of exaggerated Liberalism, nevertheless her designs ara sufficiently apparent. Ever since the year 1856 it has always been Russia who sought to revive the Eastern Question, and now Russia, aware that the insurrection in Crete has terminated owing to the energetic attitude of the Porte, pro poses a conference which it is impossible for the Powers to refuse to join without incurring heavy responsibilities. Russia hopes that the result of such Conference will be the abandonment of the measures adopted by the Porte for the expulsion of the Hellenes. The Turkish Government, how ever, will not submit to the discussion of her legiti mato acts of self-defence. Should such a st?p be taken its Plenipotentiary would at once retire, and the Conference would collapse." The article concludes by advising Russia to be careful, since another war might, indeed, be more disastrous than was the Crimean war. AMERICA. GREENCASTLE, Jan. 5. The Allan steamship Nestorian, which left Port land on Sunday, the 27th ult., at 7 a.m., arrived in Lough Foyle at 8.20 this morning, with 33 cabin and 9 steerage passengers, and $l,OOO in specie. She landed the London mails. PORTSMOUTH, Jan. 5. The Indian troopship, Crocodile, Captain Wat son, arrived at Spithead late last night with troops from Alexandria. AUSTRIA. ference. The Tagblatt states that Daoud Pascha, whose journey to Europe was said merely to refer to some financial arrangement connected with the Roumelia Railway, is going to Paris with a view to open negotiations for a new Turkish loan of 125 millions of francs. The Press of to-day states that the Bank Com mittee have fixed the dividend for 1868 at 45 florins 80 kreugers per share, consequently the National Bank would require 669,409 florins from the State in order to raise the amount per share to the guaranteed sum of seven per cent. TILE CAPE MAILS. PLY3IOUFII, Jan. 5, 11 a.m. The Union Company's steamer Saxon, with the homeward Cape mails, has just arrived off here. WRECK ON 7HE GOODWIN. report from Ramsgate states that a violent gale sprang up there on Saturday, and resulted in several shipping disasters. During the night sig nals were fired from the North Sands Head. The lifeboat Bradford put out to sea, and, on arriving in the neighbourhood of the lightship, the crew per ceived a large ship lying off the North Sands, out of danger, but the supposition is that she had struck on the Goodwin and got clear off again. In re sponse to signals from one of the lightships the lifeboat again put to sea yesterday morning, and on arriving at the Goodwin they perceived a French schooner lying on the sands. The sea was very rough, violent gale blowing at the time, and, to get at the schooner, the lifeboat was run on to the sands. They found the vessel to be the Gaspard (Rousel master), of and from St. Malo, for London, with a cargo of oats. There was only the master on board, whom they rescued. He was understood t 3 say that the crew (five in number had taken to their own boat, and while he went below to get something the painter was either broken or cut, and the boat drifted away, and he was ]eft to his fate. The lifeboat crew laboured for two hours before they could get their own boat off the sands ; and when they succeeded, they returned to the harbour in tow of the steam-tug Aid, with the master of the schooner. Nothing has been heard of the fate of the crew, but it is reported from Broadstairs that a ship lying off the North Foreland perceived a boat out at sea, with five men in her, but with only one oar. The boat continued to drift to sea, but the ship could not render any as_iistance ; she, however, signalled for assistance from shore, and the Broadstairs boat, the Petrel, put out, but when she arrived at the ship the boat was nowhere visible ; and it is feared, as nothing further has been heard of it, that the crew were drowned. There have bee n severa l more collisions in the Downs, some of a s er i ous charac ter, and the recent gales have caused some fifty vessels to put into the harbour in a damaged state. CAISTER, near Great Yarmouth, Jan. 4. The large lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Insti tution on this station was again in s t rumenta l yes terday, i n as h eav y a gale almost as any we have recently had (says the Rev. W. Steward), in afford ing succour to a shipwrecked crew, who must un doubtedly have perished had not the lifeboat been close at hand. It appears that a vessel, apparently a foreigner, was seen in the morning iu a dangerous position, and the lifeboat was launched to her assist ance. Having the security of the presence of the lifeboat she eventually cleared herself and got away. As the boat was returning the crew ob served a vessel on the south part of the Cross Sand, with a signal of distress flying. Approaching her they saw the ship's boat in the midst of the breakers on the sand, and, making all speed, they found the crew of the vessel in her, and they rescued them (eight in number) from their imminent peril. Some of them were only half clothed, and the boat was almost swamped, for it had nearly filled three times, and must soon have been sunk. The vessel to which the" poor fellows belonged was the brig Elizabeth, of Blyth, bound thence to Boulogne with coal. She is a total wreck. BROADSTAIRS, KENT, Jan. 3. Late last night signals of distress were shown up from the Goodwin and Gull Stream light vessels during a gale from the S.S.N. (reports Captain Illyard). The Samuel Morrison Collins' life boat belonging to the National Lifeboat Institu tion, promptly proceeded out in that direction in tow ' of the steamer Renown, of London, and found a foreign barque in a dangerous position, near the Goo twin Knoll buoy. On speaking her the life boatmen found that she had beau boa.r.lel by a fishing smack. They, however, remained near her an hour, until she was seen to be safely at anchor, when the lifeboat returned to Broadstairs. A magnificent piece of plate was received in Paris by Mdlle. Nilsson on New Year's Day, sent by the members of the Philharmonic Society of London, bearing the following inscription : —" As modest homage to her great talent, and in remem brance of her performance at the grand concert of 1868." It would appear also that Mr. Mapleson, the manager of her Majesty's Theatre, came over to Paris for the express purpose of requesting Mdlle. Nilsson to appear as Ophelia before the English public. Our Swedish Nightingale, having accepted the proposal, is now going to study her part in the Italian language. VIENNA, Jan. 5. The Press announces that yesterday Prince Metternich bad received his instructions to act as Austrian Plenipotentiary at the forthcoming Con- CORRESPONDENCE 111011 PARIS. The Gaulois announces that the health of Count Goltz has so sensibly improved since his return to Berlin that all danger has disappeared. This miraculous change has been brought about by drinking the mineral waters of Solfatara, near Naples. These waters were recently discovered in an old crater of Vesuvius. The late Prussian Ambassador at Paris, like all eminent invalids, is the subject of diverse reports. It was announced the other day that Court von Goltz was rapidly dying. The story of the Gaulois has not on the whole a satisfactory appearance. Patti's appearance in Brussels has been an unprece dented success. The three performances netted respec tively £720, £BBO, and £1,120. The Journal Officiel has opened its feuilleton with an account of the trial of Marie Antoinette. When, asks the Temps, is the account of the Duke d'Enghien's trial to appear ? THE EFFECTS OF AN INDIAN CYCLONE. By the Indian mail we have further particulars of a remarkable cyclone which recently occurred at Akyab. It appears that the damage to the shipping con sisted of the stranding of the Busheer (since arrived at Calcutta), the V o l unteer, the Naomi, and the Duke of Northumberland. The captain of the Naomi had three of his ribs fractured, but is going on favourably. Two Madras vessels are high and dry; one on the public road, and the other in a paddy field. All the port cargo boats and water boats are perfect wrecks, and almost all the country boats are dashed to pieces. A small portion only of the top of the Savage light house was blown away. The Government loss in the marine department is estimated at about 20,000 rupees. All the merchants' godown at Cherogeah creek, as well as the landing jetties, have been blown down, the roads being covered with these ruins, the dead bodies of cattle, and trees. The private houses have suffered almost as much, the roofs of nearly all having been blown off, and in many cases the entire houses blown down. Amongst the latter were the houses of the commissioner, Colonel Stevenson, and Colonel Salis bury, as well as the private residences of Mr. Damford, Mr. Brown, and Mr. Hurst. Mr. Hurst had a narrow escape for his life. The deluge of rain completely filled some of the lower stories of the houses after the roof had gone, and rendered escape very difficult. All the Government offices, as well as the gaol, had been more or less damaged, and the telegraph was blown down for miles. Workmen were at once engaged at the rate of Rs. 20 a month t o repair the telegraph, and communica tion has since been restored with Calcutta. The handsome trees, which were one of the principal features of Akyab, have nearly all disappeared. The total loss of life in the town is supposed to have been about twenty, and 500 head of cattle were drowned in one of the suburbs. The estimated loss of the rice crop was 15 per cent. Colonel Fraser, the chief engineer, had a very narrow escape. In attempting to land from the Busheer he fell between th e s t eamer and the pier, but succeeded in cling ing to the pier, from which he was rescued when almost exhausted. On Friday there were no fewer than six sudden deaths in Dundee. Ono was caused by a pieco of beef sticking in the throat of a labourer and choking him whilst he was eating his dinner. Mr. Greening, who unsuccessfully contested Hali fax at the last election, on Saturday night was presented, by his friends at that town, with a silver tea and coffee ser vice, as a recognition of the manner in which, as the work ing man's candidate, he conducted the election. The death of another Waterloo veteran is an nounced. George Simcn Harcourt, Esq. (ni Ainslie), of the 69th Foot, and afterwards with the Ist or Boyal Dragoons, ono of the few remaining officers who served at the Battle of Waterloo, died on the 29th of December, at Bedford at the age of 72. At Liverpool a pipe -maker, named Garbert, quar relled with his wife, who, it is said, had dishonoured him. The woman was enciente, and her husband knocked her down, and literally ripped her open with a knife. The im mediate consequence is too horrible to relate, and the poor woman died the same day. The murderer is in custody. The first ice accident is reported from Sheffield. 4 number of skaters and sliders, chiefly lads, had collected on the ico on a brick pond at Cross Pool, when the ice gave way, and several of the lads were precipitated into the water. An alarm was at once raised, and assistance promptly ren dered by the bystanders. Among those who took an active part was a youth named Frederick Dyson, who bravely rushed into the water and succeeded in saving one of the lads from a watery grave, but unhappily fell a victim to his 14eroiprci. '.FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, MONDAY, Jannary 4. The muemnities which were voted a long time back to the co-operators in the Exhibition of 1867 are to he paid. Why the Imperial Commission could not decide this point sooner is a mystery to most people. The indemnities had to be met, and the cash was ready : why, then, wait some year and a half before coming to a conclusion on such a point ? Young princes are not so frequently guilty of the un princely sin of gratitude but that an instance of the kind should be recorded when it transpires. The story goes that the young Duke of Brabant, who still lingers on his bed of sickness, asked for a new year's gift of 2240. In reply to a question as to the disposal of such a sum, he stated that he intended it for the two Sisters of Charity who had nursed him during his illness. The money was given and immediately transferred. The Civil Tribunal of Marseilles has just decided an important will case affecting an English family. It is another instance of the evil results of people makirg wills which do not adequately express their intentions. Robert Gower, a merchant of Marseilles, who died recently, leaving a large property, disposed of it under the following enigmatical terms :—" I name and institute as my heirs my brother, George Henry Gower, or his children, and my other nephews and nieces who shall exist at the date of my death, or their representatives." Now, the brother had five children, and there was besides a married sister with six, and another sister, a widow, without "encumbrance." Mr. Gower claimed that the intention of the deceased was to make him sole legatee, and that only in the event of his death at the moment of the succession becoming open was the fortune to be shared among all the nephews and nieces. The six children of Mr. Jenkins pretended that the deceased meant the property to be divided among the brothers of George Henry, or his children, and the other nephews and nieces ; under this hypothesis the Jenkinses would take six-eighths of the whole, and the uncle and aunt each one-eighth. The third demand was by Mrs. Mathias, who held that the estate should be apportioned in equal parts among the three branches of the family represented by the surviving brother and two sisters. The court decided that the mention of the brother by name designated him as the heir, to the exclu sion of the rest, providing that if he died before the will was executed the property would then be divided amongst all the nephews and nieces. The Mathias and Jenkins claims were therefore rejected. JcZetson Davis adds another to the list of eminent per sonage Whom adversity has driven to the great asylum of princes. The ex-President of the South is enjoying all the spectacles which Paris can offer. That capital seems to prove as agreeable a retreat to him as to Queen Isabella. He is an indefatigable sight-seer, promenading Paris the entire day. Those with whom he has been in converse testify that his character has lost none of the decision which baffled the efforts of the North during the civil war ; the failure of his great schemes has in no respect changed his opinions ; he remains the advocate of slavery, tempered with the posses s!on of those rights which the negro race is capable of enjoying. He is persuaded that the African and Cau casian race can never intermingle. Mr. Davis is indifferent to the material things of life. He breakfasts on buttered toast and coffee, and dines off two dishes with all but Spartan simplicity. One hundred and thirty-nine new journals have ap. peered in Paris alone during the past half-year. Of these 101 were literary and artistic, fourteen political, and the remainder devoted to class purposes. Thirty five papers have been founded on the model of La Lanterne. Their borrowed light has not been a lamp unto their feet, for but two now remain in existence. The Emperor of Austria has sent a magnificent missal, enriched with exquisite miniatures, as a present to the Pope. This chef a'cetare of its kind has employed nine teen artists for ten years ! The Etendard once more takes the trouble to deny a statement by the Nord, that the imperial Government supported the candidature of Queen Isabella's son. The Emperor, says the semi-official paper, has in nowise departed from his policy of non-intervention in the affairs of Spain. The same journal, adverting to the Convention between Baden and North Germany on the subject of recruiting, announces that the arrangement has no political significance whatever. It is merely to prevent the subjects of the two States from escaping their military obligations. If this be all that is intended, why should not a similar treaty be concluded with the other German States which are not in the Confederation? The Opposition has lost the election in the Manche department caused by the death of M. Ravin. The offi cial candidate gained 17,600 votes against 10,751. It is not a little odd that the official papers have taken to speaking of the Government voters as Conservatives ! There is now no doubt that Count Paiva, Portuguese Ambassador at Berlin, whose death was recently an nounced, committed suicide. A SAD STORY. About the middy of November last the Rev. R Romines, of the Dutch Reformed Church, went tc Columbus, Ohio, to act as district secretary of the American Colonisation Society. His wife was in poor health. and, as her relatives feared, partially insane. In addition to the wife there were five children, one girl abont 14 yeare of age, and four boys younger, who accompanied him. The four boys, immediately on their arriv 4 al, were taker sick with the scarlet fever, and the youngest died. Mrs. Romines became worse, and Mr. Romines, with constant watching, became ill. On the 17th of December Mrs. Romines, who had been much agitated by the recent occurrences, left her husband's bedside, went into a room near, locked the door on the inside; and, makiti use of a small rope, hanged herself. The family were not embar• rassed in a pecuniary way,' and seemed to have all in the way of worldly goods that could make a family happy. The husband and boys are improving. A VORACIOUS MAN-EATER. 'LECTION PETITIONS. -- +IF - There are fifty-two petitions standing for trial, and of these fifteen have had the days fixed. Mr. Justice Wiles will take New Windsor, Guildford, Lich field, 'Westbury, and Tamworth ; Mr. Baron Martin will preside at Norwich, Warrington, Bradford, Chelten- ham, and Westminster; and Mr. Justice Blackburn takes Bewdley, Stockport, Wallingford, Stalybridge. and Hartlepool. THE MURDER AT NORWICH. —A correspondent at Norwi c h, referring to the statement of William Sheward at the Lambeth-street Police-office on Saturday, says it is believed that the self-accusation of murder is well-founded, Human remains were found in the River Yare and in the neighbourhood of Norwich in June 1851. Persevering inquiries were made at the time by the local police, and the remains were collected, but the circum stances have always remained a mystery until the present hour. AN AMERICAN PRIZE FIGHT. —WASHINGTON, DEC. 23.--Abe Hicken, of Philadelphia, and Pete M`Guire, of Peekskill, N.Y., two well-known roughs, had a prize fight for 1,000 dollars a side in the vicinity of Stump's wood, on the line of the railroad, near Perryville, this morning. After five rounds, Hicken broke ArGuire's jaw and gained the fight. A large crowd of sporting men and roughs from Philadelphia and New York, with the prin cipals, were on board a special train, which passed through this city early this morning, and remained on the ground until the affair was over. THE BISHOP OF SALISBURY. —This prela,to's health, although occasionally exhibiting signs of improve ment, still continues in a very unsatisfactory state. His lordship has not hitherto been wholly confined to his resi dence, but his been able to take carriage exercise, his medical adviser considering it essential to his restoration that he should be out as much as possible. With the view of having the benefit of the advice of an eminent London physician, it is arranged that he shall spend a short time in town, so as to be under his immediate observation and THE CONVICT MARTIN BROWN. —Martin Brown, aged 22, who was convicted at the Lewes sizes last week, before Mr. B aron Ch annell, of the mur der of David Baldey, on Newmarket-hill, Kingston, on the 9th of October, will be executed on the morning of Monday, the 18th instant, at eight o'clock. Brown has been, and still is, very reserved, and does not refer to the awful crime for which he has been condemned. He is quiet and well behaved, and is daily visited by the gaol chaplain, the Rev. Mr. Duke. He has not yet made any confession of his guilt. ACCIDENT ON THE BRIGHTON RAILWAY'. —On Sunday an accident happened on the line recently opened in connection with the London and South Coast Railway, near Streatham Junction. An ordinary passenger train was approaching the junction at the usual pace, when the engine and tenders left the rails, and the passengers were consequently much shaken and frightened, but, for tunately, none were seriously injured. On being released from the carriages they found their way to the station at Streatham-common, while due precautions were at once taken to stop the approach of other trains. After the accident Mr. Richardson, the locomotive superin tendent, arrived, and a large body of men, with the aid of " jacks" and other appliances, succeeded in getting the engine back upon the rails, when it was sent to Battersea and examined, nothing being found to account for the accident. It was supposed that the recent heavy rains had loosened the sleepers, and that this had been the cause of the accident. BRIBERY AND TIIE BALLOT. - Now that the Ballot has become one of the foremost public questions in England, in consequence of the bribery and intimidation practised at the late general election, the following extract from the letter of the New South Wales correspondent of a Scotch contemporary will be read with interest : " Six months ago there was a general election, and in one constituency alone there have been three elections since. In the second contest a former defeated candidate got in, and the one who was left out petitioned against his election on the ground of wholesale bribery, and was suc cessful in proving bribery, but he could not disprove the statement that his own election was above suspicion, so one seat was declared vacant. I believe this is the first instance of bribery being proved in connection with the ballot, but there is no disguising the fact. Electors were brought long distances, both by special steamers and also by the railway and stage-coaches, to vote at an election for a district in which they did not reside. Of course the ratfe 3 who brought them had to trust to them that they would vote for the man who pro. vided the money, and whether they voted for him or not is merely a matter of conjecture, and will remain such, as there is no suspicion that the ballot-box was tampered with"; but still this shelve what maybe clone even with the luolnt." I The following extract- from a letter from an engineer at Chintagoonta, about six miles beyond Cuddapah on the road to Nundyal, merits the attention of Shikarr:es : " We are much annoyed by a man-eater, about eleven miles off under the hills, and the effect has been to raise the price of bamboos, charcoal, and wood. I happened to be yesterday in the village where it com mitted its last depredation. I found a force 100 strong, composed the young men of the adjoining villages_ they assemble every morning at about 9 a.m., and march with tom-toms ahead and astern, armed with spears and matchlocks into the jungle near the village, carrying food to men who are posted in trees near each place where any one has been killed. As may be expected, since they took these precautions they have seen nothing of him, as he has quietly gone to anutner village. They told me that the tiger has killed More than two hundred people ; a great many close to the village."--Itradras Times, Dec. 2. INTENDED REFORM FOR THE RELIEF OF CASUALS. _ - The Poor-law Board have in contemplation on the Intro duction of certain reforms in the present system of relieving casuals, and have solicited by circular an expression of opi nion from the various boards of guardians upon the pro posed alterations. It is intended to make uniform the dietary and amount of task-work in all the unions in the country, and the board have submitted for the considera tion of the local guardians a not too liberal scale of diet and a fair average task, The board insist upon the enforce ment of the bath, recommend the system of separate sleep ing cells, and make various suggestions for the curtail ment of the comforts of casuals. It is intimated that the Board only await the replies from the several unions before embodying their views, subject to such modifications as may arise from the guardians' suggestion; in a general order. On Monday morning Mr. Baron Martin resumed his 1 sitting in chambers, Rolls•garden, Chancery-lane, to hear special pleas on election petitions. The first taken was Tauiworth, Mr. Tinley Smith (for Sir Henry Lytton Bulwer) asking for names of the agents—alleged to have been guilty of corrupt practices—to be given before the three days laid down in the rules, as the district was a wide one. —Mr. Henry James, for the petitioner, opposed the application.—His lordship said the order of Mr. Justice Willes must be confirmed, viz., to give particulars three days' before the trial.— Mr. Chitty (on behalf of Sir Robert Peel, the other member for Tamworth) then asked for the nature of the corrupt practices to be specified by the petitioners before the usual time given. His lordship thought Mr. Justice Wiles had been too liberal in granting time for particulars. [Here Mr. Justice Willes jokingly desired his lordship to be cautious.] Mr. Baron Martin (resuming) said he had given very great consideration to the Act ; and he eJuld not conceive what might not be included under the term " corrupt practices ;" it might mean almost any thing. He should confirm the order of Mr. Justice Willes. In the case of South Hants an application was made for an extension of the six days allowed to the respondents for getting particulars, on the ground that the district embraced a very wide area. —His lordship, in refusing the application, said be did so because he thought it might be used to defeat the ends of justice. It would be giving time to those already alleged to have been guilty of bribing to spirit away the very persons who had previously accepted bribes. 6 ) • 6011 . 3,1 labt HER MAJESTY. OSBORNE, Jan. 4. The Queen, accompanied by Princess Beatrice walked in the grounds this morning. Prince Leopold and Princess Louise also we'll out. POLICE INTELLIGENCE —This Day. MARLBORO UGH- STREET. ASSAULT IN THE POLICE CO T.--Catherine Hogan, an elderly woman, residing at 48, Uppd Marylebone-street, was brought before Mr. Tyr' whitt, on a warrant, charged with assaulting Mat garet Finchem, a young woman in the employ ei Mr. Stevens, button and trimming manufacturer, No. 48, Upper Marylebone-street. Mr. Lewis appeared for the defendant. The defendant and her husband were yesterdei summoned to this court for assaulting the cony plaint on Christmas-day, the defendant being fined 403. and her husband £5 ; and as the parties well leaving the court the defendant, who was labouring under great excitement, gave the complainant severe blow in the face. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the complainant sal 3 that the defendant had since expressed her regre for her conduct. Mr. Tyrwhitt ordered the defendant to find one bail in £5 to keep the peace for six months. A MASTER CARMAN AND HIS MAN CHARGED WITg CRUELTY TO A HORSE.—William Pearson, a master carman, of Kensington -place, Westminster, and Francis Matthews, a man in his employ, appeared before Tyrwhitt to answer complaints of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the former for causing a horse to be tor tured by sending it out for work in an unfit state, and the latter for working it. Inspector Temperley, of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, repeated the evidence he gave on a former occasion, to the effect that he saw Matthews driving a horse which was trying to draw a load of rubbish in Burling' ton-gardens, but was unable to do so, it being dead lame on the off fore leg, and having both its hind legs diseased. The horse was poor, old, and quite unfit for work, its near hind leg appearing to be quite paralysed. He had since the last occasion seen the defendant Pearson, who said the horse was lame, but did not suffer any pain. The horse was in poor condition. Henry Barns, the gaoler, said that when the horse was brought to the mews at the rear of the court it had three bad legs, and a sore where the crupper worked ; in fact it could hardly stand. Henry Loader, the keeper of the Greenyard, said that the horse was very lame, and it nearly fell. It had an old sore under the crupper. Mr. Arthur Cherry, the Government veterinary surgeon, said he had seen the horse, and it was better than on the last occasion, having had some rest. He did not see any sores on it. It was lame of the off fore leg, but it did not appear to suffer any pain. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that there was a class of per sons, he was aware, who considered that horses never suffered any pain at all. Mr. Cherry said that the hind legs were swollen, but otherwise the horse was in good condition. D had had a stiff leg for some time. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he supposed that improved its galloping. Mr. Gerry sail he did not mean to say that, but cab horses seldom galloped. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that the horse having been taken care of since the last occasion made a consi derable difference in the case ; but, notwithstanding the evidence of the veterinary surgeon, he believed that the horse was not in a fit condition for work ing on the day it was sent out, and, by way of caution to the defendants, they would be fined, Pearson 10s. and costs or seven days, and Mathews ss. or seven days. care. WESTMINSTER. ASSAULTING TIIE POLICE.—IMPRISONMENT.— C has. Pitt, well dressed, was charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of a horse and cart, and assaulting the police. John Ambrose, 241 A, said he was on duty at the Victoria-tower, Westminster, and observed the prisoner driving a cart at a furious pace towards Millhank-street. He suddenly turned, and then his companion in the cart tried to take away the reins• Prisoner pulled the pony all over the road and whipped him into a gallop, and then suddenly turn ing brought the head of the pony under the Queen's Arch. Witness caught hold of the pony, when pri soner got his leg in the wheel and shaft. He re peatedly struck witness in the face, and kicked high and he had to get assistance to convey him to the station. Robert Wilson, 23 A R, said he came to assist ; prisoner tried to bite him, and kicked at the other constable in a private part ; it took four constables to carry him to the station by the legs and arms. Mr. Salomon (prisoner's friend) said the police had exaggerated the matter. Prisoner said he had been drinking, and was very sorry. _ _ Mr. Selfe said no doubt he was, but the police, in the execution of their duty, were not to be knocked about in this indiscriminate way, because they protected life and limb from a drunken man driving a horse and cart; he sen tenced him to 14 days' hard labour. THAMES. A DESERTED BOY.—Wm. Shelwood, a wretched half naked little boy, about ten years of age, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with begging. Police-constable, 111 K, stated that he was called to a person in Johnsou-street, Shadwell, last night and found the prisoner there. The boy was in a deplorable condition, and his rags were wet. The boy had been asking for food and a night's lodging, and u p on questioning him he said that his aunt, who lived in Caroline-street, Ratcliff, Lad turned him out of doors, and that he was desti tute. He could not find the boy's aunt in Caroline' street. The prisoner repeated the statement he made to the constable. Mr. Partridge said he should not send the boy to prison for being destitute. He remanded hint to the Stepney Union -house for a week. A STUPID SAILOR. —Ann Harris, with many aliases, who has been frequently in custody, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with steal' ing a silver watch, £3 10 in gold, and a quantity of silver, the property and money of John 'Williamson, belonging to the ship Sutlej. The sailor accompanied the prisoner to that nth." rious place, Palmer's-folly, Ratcliff-highway, last night. He was " half-seas over," not drunk, nor yet sober, and he fell asleep in a house there. When he awoke his jacket was gone, and the pri soner was missing. He soon found his jacket, but his money and watch were gone. He made known his loss to the police, who found the watch upon her, 20 sovereigns at a public house which the prisoner had left there, and one sovereign upon her. The. prisoner was remanded.
