Fiaser, 81th Regi ment, to join the depot ; Capt. Wilson to proceed with service companies ; Lieut. Richardson, 35th Regiment, to perform the duties of Assist.-Instructor of Musketry to the 4th depot battalion, until Lieut. Fenn, 49th Regiment, returns from leave of absence /We 14 ; and Ensign Mayne, 49th Regiment, to proceed from the depot to the service- companies of his corps at the expiration of his leave of absence June 28 ; Ensign Pearson, 2d battalion 18th Regi ment, is under orders to embark for the service companies of his battalion in New Zealarld. D :Ike of Cambridge has awarded a silver medal, together with an annuity of A:10, to Master- Gunner Alexander Dowie, P.,yal Artillery, for long service and meritorious conduct. The depot of the 34th (Cumberland) Regiment, which is under orders to leave St. Mary's Barracks, Chatham, this morning, and proceed to Portsmouth, was inspected yesterday on the lines by Major-Gen. F. Murray, previously to their departure. The strength of the depot is 240 non-commissioned officers and men, with nine officers, and the usual proportion of soldiers' wives and children. The depot, which was formed in two companies, was minutely inspected by Gen. Murray, who invited any man who had a complaint to make to step from the ranks and do so, but there was no response to the invitation. The officers and troops will leave Chatham by railway this morning, and proceed to Gravesend, where they embark in the steamer taken up to convey themround to Portsmouth. The head quarters and service companies of the 34th Regi ment are now on their passage home from India. An order was yesterday received at Chatham directing a party of non-commissioned officers of Royal Engineers, who have completed their course of fieldwork and other instructionsat head-quarters, to embark for Malta on the 18th proximo, to be employed as assistant-superintendents of the engi neering works at that island. Yesterday detachments of various infantry regi ments, the depots of which are stationed at Chat ham, arrived at that garrison from India, having disembarked from the troopships which arrived at Spithead from Calcutta and.the other Indian ports. The detachments, which numbered 70 non-commis sioned officers and men, consisted of time-expired men who have been sent home on the completion of their period of service, together with convalescent men invalided from their regiments. The time-ex pired men will be discharged on the receipt of their discharge documents from the Horse Guards. The following promotions in the corps of Royal Marine Light Infantry were announced at head quarters, Chatham, yesterday, viz., First Lieut. C. E. Macdonald, to be Capt. at the Portsmouth Divi sion, vice Capt. and Brevet Major G. E. 0. Jack son, relieved ; Second Lieut. 11. Bradley to be First Lieut. at the IVoolwich Division, vice Macdonald. The above promotions are orderel to be dated the 21th inst. The armoured iron frigate Resistance, Capt. H. llillyar, C. 8., arrived at Spithead on Tuesday, from Plymouth Sound and the Mediterranean, and is ordered into Portsmouth Harbour to dismantle and pay out of commission. Yesterday afternoon Admi ral Sir T. Pasley, K.C.8., Port Admiral and Naval Commander in Chief at Portsmouth, visited the frigate at Spithead and inspected officially her con dition, together with the discipline and practice of her crew at general quarters, preparatory to her entering harbour and commencing the process of dismantling. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :-- Lieut. B. E. Cochrane, to the MeLara ; an•l Lieut. H. L. Gully, to the Revenge. RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON, BRIGIITON,' AND SOUTII COAST. A special general meeting' of this company was appointed to he held yesterday at the Bridge.hous, Dote!, London-bridge, for the purpose of consi dering an agreement with the South-Eastern Rail way Company for the j.,int working and ultimate amalgamation of the two concerns ; Col. Barttelot, M.P., in the chair, The CHAII:3IAN said he hoped they had all re ceived a circular informing them that the Inn-Tting would be adjourned, the committee of investigation having requested the directors to do so. lie there fore moved that the meeting be aljourned to the 18th of June at the same place and hour. The motion was carried unanimously, and the meeting adjourned accordingly. MIDLAND, A Wharucliffe meeting of this company was held yesterday at Derby ; Mr. W. E. Hutchinson in the chair. In consequence of the agitation which has been going on in the course of the last month the proceedings excited unusual interest, and the attend ance of shareholders was so large that an adjourn ment from the Railway Station to the Corn Ex change, in the town, was indispensable. The CHAIRMAN STlid it had unfortunately hap pened that two of the bills intended to be brought forward at this meeting were not ready, in conse sequence of a delay in the Parliam3ntary proceed ings ; he ;alluded to the Additional Powers Bill, and the Glasgow and South-Western Amalgamation Bill. He then entered into explanations in refer ence to each line. The leasing clause in the Tewkesbury and Malvern line would be withdrawn, in order that any ad litional outlay might be avoided. h o bill relating to the Midland and South-Wes tern Junction Line was not ready, but it was a very important project; it would afford immense facilities to this company for the interchange of glo Is and mineral tra.ific. They were already under obligations in c3ane , ...tion with it to pay 51 per cent. on the share capital, awl 5 per cent. on the bor rowed money. It was prop )sel that this shotird be a perpetual 5 per cent. hereafter, so that by a pro pcped arrangement there would be a saving to the coiupany of one-half per cent. and the amount of additional capital to be laid out would be reduced fro:n £170,000 to £70,090. Another of their seierws was to make, in conjunction with the London and North-Western Llway, a liue from Hathreield to Haifa; &e. That would be a valuabb adjunct to the Midland, but, in deference to the strong opitti ins expressed by the shareholdersagainstany further outlay of money that bill would be withdrawn. A fourth project con templated was for incorporating the Cheshire lines coMmittecs in orthr to secure a better administra tion of affairs, and to make twoshort branches. The proposed additional capital was only £34,000, ex clusive of the borrowing powers ; but that part of the bill authorising an additional outlay of capital would be abandoned. (Applause.) A fifth bill in volved management with the Great Northern Com pany, and the raising of such additional capital for improving the station at Lynn, which was in a dis graceful state; but the matter might stand over for another year or two, so that clauses in the bill for an increase of capital woull be withdrawn. (Re newed applause.) The only other bill to which he ne.:d direct attention WaS the construction of a little line, two or three miles in length, to connect tome mills and works with the Midland system ; the owners of the mills would make these lines at their own expense, so that all the Midland Company would have to do would be to work it. He then alluded, at cor.siderahle length, to the proposal to amalgamate with the Glasgow and South-Western Cotnpany, which ha l given rise to opposition on the part of the shareholders and the public; he justified on every ground the course propoied by the board ; as to the terms (he said) tl Lt at the last half-yearly meeting it was proposed they should be equal, but the Scotch unnpany bad since proposed that in the event of at any time the ,lie idend on the amalgamated lines being less than 4 per cent., that if the traffic on the Glas gow andSouth-Weztern exceeded that amount, that company should have a lien on it up to 4 per cent. ; the altered terms in that respect had been accepted. He next entered into a very long historical resume • for the purpose of justifying the project for the Settle and Carlisle Railway, which some now thought (Cries of " No.") li e too k ought to b 2 abandoned. it for granted they.. were not disposed to give up their share of the 6'cottikh traffic, and he hoped that at the next meeting the Board would be sup ported in their bill for amalgamating with the Glasgow and South-Western Company. lle con cluded by moving a resolution approving the bill for incorporating the Cheshire lines committee, except— ing as to the increased capital. Mr. PRICE, M.P., seconded the motion, and aft or a very long and animated discussion, all the resolu• tions proposed by the directors were adopted, and the meeting adjourned until Tuesday next, RAILWAY BILLS. Yesterday, in the House of Lords' committee held in room C, the Neath and Brecon Bill was passed with amendments. In the House of Commons' committee on group 7, the preamble of the Midland Bill was proved. Ti►e preamble of the Tewkesbury and Malvern Bill was also proved. in group 12, the London, Chat ham, and Dover was proceeded with and ad journed until Friday ; the London, Chatham, and D ov er (No. 3), the London, Chatham, and I.v.iver (No. 2) were adjourned ; and the London, Chat ham, and Dover (No. 4) Bill was adjourned until Friday. Industrial Education. The following correspondence appeared in the Times : Sir,—After the distribution of prizes at the Lon don University this year, I made some remarks on the lessons which the late war iu Germany and the present Exhibition at Paris afford to us, if we wish to hold our own with other nations in the arts of peace and war. I quoted a speech of the President of the Civil Engineers as to the superior progress made in ma chinery by foreigners. I spoke from the informa tion which I had received from a gentleman inti mately acquainted with the iron trade as t) the greater improvements made in the manufacture of iron in France, Belgium, Germany, and Austria. It was only from general report that I stated the little advanee we have made in most departments of industry, excepting those of furniture, glass, and china. Since then I have seen the enclosed letter from Dr. Lyon Playfair. The subject is important, and his authority is great. I have therefore obtained his permission, and that of Lord Taunton, to ask you to publish it. _ . - The inquiry of 18:53, to which Dr. Playfair alludes, was chiefly owing to the information given him by the Prince Consort, than whom no one was more keenly alive to the want of generally diffused schntiffc instruction in this csnintry, or more active in stimulating all classes to remedy the defect.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, GRANVILLE. 16, Bruton-street, W., May 28. FROM DR. LYON PLXYFAIR. " London, May 15, 1867. " My Lord,—As you desire that I should put in writing the substance of the conversation which I had the honour of having with your Lordship this morning, I willingly comply with your request. " I have just returned from Paris, where I acted as a juror in one of the classes of the Exhibition. In this capacity I had no other opportunities than any other juror of forming a judgment in regard to it ; but, having had the charge of the working of the juries in the Exhibitions of 1851. and 1862, I naturally made the acquaintance of many emi nent men of different nations, and, meeting with a large number of them congregated on the Inter national juries in Paris, I endeavoured to gather their opinions as to the position which England occupied is this great industrial competition. "I am sorry to say that, with very few ex ceptions, a singular accordance of opinion pre vailed that our country had shown little inventive. ness and made but little progress in the peaceful arts of industry since 1862. Deficient representatives in some of the industries rn'ght have accounted for this judgment against us, but when we find that out of 90 classes there are sc LIT:Ay a d.am in which pre-eminence is unhesitatingly a - varded to us, this plea must be abanflone I. My own opinion is worthy only of the confidence which might be sup posed to attach to my knowlelge of the chemical arts; but when I found same of our chief mechani cal and civil engineers lamenting the want of pro gcess in their industries, and pointing to the won .. derful advances which other nations are making ; when I found our ohmic and evsm textile m tnu facturers uttering simi!ar complaints, I naturally devote 1 attention to elicit their views as to the causes. So far as I could gather them by conversa tion, the one cause upon which there was most una ❑imity of conviction is that France, Prussia, Austria, Belgium, and Switzerland possess good systems of industrial education for the masters and managers of factories and workshops, and that England possesses none. A second cause was also generally, though not so universally, admitted, that we had suffered from the want of cordiality between the employers of labour and workmen, engendered by the numerous strikes, and more particularly by that rule of many Trades' Unions, that men shall work upon an average ability, without giving free scope to the skill and ability which they may indi vidually rossess. "Dumas, well known as a 'savant,' and who, from his position as a Senator of France and Presi dent of the Municipal Council, has many oppor tunities of forming a correct judgment, assured me that technical education had given a great impulse to the industry of France.. In going through the Exhibition, whenever anything excellent in French inanuticture strikes his attention, his invariable question is, Was the manager of this establishment :► pupil of the Ecole Centrale des Arts et Manufac tures ?' and in the great majority of cases he rezeived a reply in the affirmative. General Morin, so well known as the Director of the Conservatoire des Arts et Metiers, has lately sat on a commission to examine into the state of technical educ ttion in other coati - tries, and to extend it in France, and he infornied me that their recoil - I:nen latious were likely to be promptly and largely acted upon. I mention for your Lordship's information that General Morin was of opinion that the best system for the techni cal education of workmen is to bc found in Austria, though the higher instruction of masters and mana gers is better illustrated in France, Prussia, and Switzerland. "In 1853 I rnblished a little work on Industrial Education on the Continent,' in which I pointel out that as an inevitable result of the attention given to it abroad, and its neglect in England, other nations must advance in industry at a much greater rate than our own country. I fear that this result is already attained for many of our staple industries. But as my opinion is only that of an individual, I trust that it may accord with the objects of the commission over which your lordship presides to take the evidence of some of the leading jurors,. many of whom had as good opportunities as myself of judging of the position which our country has taken in this great international competition. "Permit me also to m tke another suggestion. My inquiry of 1853 into industrial education on the Continent was a private one, and had neither offi cial aid nor sanction, and now antiquated. It would be important that the Government, either through your Commis3ion, or through the Committee of Council on Educ %don, should hold an official in (inky on this subject, and should tell the people of England authoritatively what are the mans by which the great States are attaining an intellectual pre-eminence among the industrial classes, and how they are'rnaking this to bear on the rapid progress of their national in lustries.—My lord, I h ave, &c., " LYON PLAYFAII: " The right Hon.

THE SUN, LaNIJOS, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 30, 1867. THE LOSS OP THE SHIP HAMLIN. OFFICIAL REPORT. Greenwich Police-court, May 18. Report of inquiry into the circumstances attend ing the loss of the ship Hamlin, near Cape Corn wall, on the night of the 18th of April, 1867 : The Hamlin was a ship-rigged, timber-built ves sel, built at Kennebunk, in the United States, and owned by Mr. Edward Mesnard, a merchant, of London. She had a crew of 26 all told, and was commanded by Mr. John Napleton Beaver, who holds a Board of Trade certificate of competency as master, originally granted in February, 1865, and rew_wed on Ist May, 1867. She left the Thames for Cardiff on 31st March last, in charge of a Tri nity-housJ pilot, having on board 450 to 500 tons of iron. dro.is in ballast, chartered to take a cargo of fuel fro:n Cardiff to Bombay. Mr. Thomas Burfield, who styles himself a coasting pilot an] shipmasters' assistant, but not licensed by any pilotage authority, accompanied the ship, as being a person well acquainted with the navigation of the English and Bristol Channels. The Hamlin met with foul winds going down Channel, and was compelled to put into port several times. Eventually she took her departure from Plymouth on the 18th of April, with a wind about S.W., sighting the Lizard about 7 p.m., and the Longships between 8 and 9 p.m. The weather was then thick, but a sight of the Longships was got about 10.15 p.m., when it bore S.E., and was supposed to be between five and six miles distant. The course from that time till 10 45 p.m. was N.N.E., when it was altered to N.E. by E. E. A few minutes after 11 the pilot went below for seven or eight minutes to take some refreshments, the master being then on deck. Whilst he was below he felt the ship broach ing to, and he immediately ran up, and on going to the wheel he found the ship heading E. by N. by the binnacle compass. Ile ordered the helm instantly " hard a starboard," but before the ship had time to pay off, breakers were reported under the lee bow, when he ordered the helm " hard a-port," and imine diately the ship struck on the bridge of rocks lying between the Brisons and the land. This was about 20 minutes after 11 p.m. As soon as the ship struck, the topsails were got down and the boats launched, and in an hour or an hour and a half the whole of the crew left the ship and landed safely in Sennen Cove. On returning to the ship about 9 a.m. of the 19th :she was found full of water, with her bilge stove in, and a total wreck. From the facts above stated, it appears clearly that the loss of the Hamlin was caused by the im proper courses steered after passing the Longships. When that lightwas last seen, at 10.15 p.m , bearing S.E., it was supposed to be distant 5 or 6 miles, whereas, in fact,the distance could nothave exceeded& mile or mile and a half, and consequently the change of course to N.E. by E. E. before passing Cape Cornwall was a wrongful act, causing the loss of the ship. The question for the consideration of the Court was--who is the person responsible for this act ? The master alleges that the N.N.E. course was given by him, and that it was afterwards altered; by the pilot Barfield with out his knowledge, and that, therefore, he ought not to be held responsible. It appears, how ever, by the evidence, that all the courses were given by the pilot, the master never during the passage from the Downs interfering, or being even consulted as to the courses to be steered, but the pilot taking the entire charge in this respect. Under these circumstances the Court ctme to the following decision :—That the Merchant Shipping Act requires that every ship subject to the provisions of the act shall be under the charge of a certificated master, except in so far as there may be a concur rent charge of a licensed pilot in compulsory pilotage water. That the person who had charge of the Hamlin was the master, Mr. Beaver, who was solely responsible for the navigation of the ship, and that he cannot exonerate himself from that respon sibility by pleading ignorance or misdirection in the orders given by the unauthorised person acting as pilot. That had Mr. Beaver attended to his duty as master by giving the courses himsAf, the alteration of course from N.N.E. to N.E. by E. a, which he allegts was the cAuse of the ship going on shore, could not have happened tut with his knowledge and on his responsibility, from which responsibility, therefore, he cannot excuse himself. That, as it has been stated that the practice of employing per sons as coasting pilots who have no pilot's license is of very common occurrence, it becomes the more necessary to mark the limits within which such as sistance can be lawfully employed. That the master may undoubtedly ask the advice or opinion of such a person, but he is bound to know that in following such advice he is to give all the necessary orders himself, and see them correctly executed. That the Court was willing to adopt the conclusion that in this case the alteration of the course from NN.E. to N.E. by E. E. was given by the pilot without the master's knowledge, and, possibly, had he known it he might, as he says, have advised a longer con tinuance on the N : N.E. course. And, under this impression, the Courb was induced to visit the de fault with the lenient sentence of a suspension of the certificate of the Master, John Napleton Beaver, for three calendar months from the 18th May instant. The certificate so suspenthd is transmitted with this report. JAs. TRAIL, Stipendiary Magistrate. We concur in this report. R. B. BAKER, / Nautical Assess )rs. Hi. Annis, METROPOLITAN LOCAL GOVERNMENT. _ 4 ,- The Local Government and Taxation Committee of the city of London, appointed iu March, 1866, to watch the proceedings of the select committee of the House of Commons appointed to inquire into the local government and local taxation of the me tropolis, and to take such steps in respect thereof as might be deemed advisable, have recently sent in a report to the Court of Common Council, in which they express their opinion of the general scope and aim of the 31 resolutions of the select committee of the House of Commons on metropoli tan local government, and conclude with some practical recommendations in reference thereto. The tendency of the more important of these re solutions, if carried into effect, would be (says the report) to accomplish the following objects, viz.:— " 1. The extinction of the county of the city of London, which, it is proposed, should be included in a county of the metropolis; the abolition of the. electiv , .! magistracy of the city of London ; and a similar interference with portioris of the metropoli tan counties of Middlesex, Surrey, and Kent, and the .tithoriti" vested in the justices thereof. 2. The elevation of the Metropolitan Board of Works, ori ginally created principally for the main drainage of the metropolis, into a governing municipal council for the whole of London, to be called the Municipal Council of London. That council to be appointed partly by justices of the peace, partly by the Crown directly, partly by the governing body of each dis trict, and partly by direct .representation of the ratepayers. 3. Such council to exercise the powers now possessed by the Metropolitan Board of Works, to which arc to be added supervision over water and gas supply, railways, &c. 4. The existing divltions of the metropolis are to be readjusted, and existing boundaries to be obliterated at the will of the Government. 5. Local boards, such as vestries and district, boards, to be merged throughout _the metropolis, and the united bodies to be termed common councils ;' such councils to elect annually each a chairman and dQuty-ch-tir inan, 6. The police force to be one for the whole metropolis. 7. That, so far as necesiary to the carrying out of the resolutions, all local acts are to 13,:. repealed ; 'and it is recommended that the Go vernment should introduce a bill accomlingly." The report-then concludes as follows :—" It is not neces sary that - we should point out that the recommenda tions alluded to tend to undermine municipal and representative government in the metropolis and elsewhere throughout the kingdom. To reconstruct the local government of London on such a principle would not only be inexpedient and unjust as it re gards the ancient city of London, but would disap point the expectations of the inhabitants of other districts of the metropolis, who naturally look for free municipal institutions similar to those accorded to towns which have been recently incorporated under the Corporations Act of 1835, as well as to those 208 ancient corporations which under the said act were extended and regulated. It will be noticed that the recommendations make no pro vision for one of the most obvious wants of the metropolis, viz., the provision of machinery for the expression of public opinion, in accordance with the usual sanctions and safeguards which our municipal institutions supply. In this and in other incor porated cities and towns the expression of public opinion (a cherished right of a free people) is exer cised under the sanction of the chief magistrate, in a building suited to the purpose, with all the sur rounding conditions, which, while securing its ex pression, preserves it against abuse. The absence of any such sanction and securities in reference to a large portion of the metropolis is pressing itself upon the attentian of the Government ; and it is singular that a committee appointed to suggest local govern ment for London should have omitted t•, deal with this pressing difficulty, which can be reme_lied only by the provision of free and efficient local government for the several districts of the metro polls. With reference to the letter of the secretary of the Metropolitan Municipal Association, re ferred to your committee, we beg to report that the views and objects of that association generally commend themselves to our judgment as sound and calculated to produce beneficial results as it re gards the local government of London ; and we are informed by parties connected with the said associa tion that a bill or bills will be immediately intro duced into Parliament on their behalf, which will embody their views. We are not prepared to sub mit any specific recommendation as to the form in which we should manifest our sympathy with the objects of the said association, but we recommend that we should be empowered to watch the progress of such bills when introduced into Parliament, and to take such steps in relation thereto as we in our judgment may deem desirable ; and that we should .be empowered to oppose any attempts to subvert the free municipal government of this city, and to assist the other districts of the metropolis to the att iin ment of their undoubted rights of self government. And, further, that we should have full powers to confer with the Court of Aldermen, or any com mittee of your honourable court, upon any matters which in the course of our proceedings may appear to affect the interests of this city, and generally to take such steps as we may think necessary and ex pedient." The Tailors' Strike—Chargesoflntimlltion Yesterday, at the Marlborough-street Police court, Joseph Rearden, a tailor, was charged before Mr. Knox on a warrant with, by threats, intimida tion, and molestation, endeavouring to force cer tain workmen to leave their employment, hiring, and work. Mr. Sleigh (instructed by Messrs. Vallance) ap peared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Ribton (in. structed by Mr. E. Lewis, of Great Marlborough street) for the defense. Mr. Sleigh, in opening the case, said he proposed only to occupy the magistrate's attention for a short time, but he believed that after he had called his witnesses his worship would be of opinion that the prisoner had brought himself by his conduct within the statute. Mr. Sleigh then gave an outline of the case, and called Mr. Jas. Wm. Brown, son of Mr. Brown, of the firm of 011iver and Brown, tailors, 37, Sackville street, who said that on the evening of Monday last the prisoner came in and asked if he was in want of a hand. He asked the prisoner if he belonged to the union, when he replied that he had just come from the country. He told the prisoner that that was no answer to his question, as there was a union in the country as well as in London. He again asked the prisoner if he belonged to the union, and he said he knew nothing about it, but had come up to London to better himself ; and in answer to another question the ,prisoner said that he had come from Birming ham that afternoon, and that he htd been working there for a Mr. Hollingsworth, who he (Mr. Brown) believed to be a master tailor there. He then asked the prisoner whether he worked in doors or out door; and he said he worked in. He told the prisoner they were in want of coat hauls most, and asked the prisoner whether he woted like to come in then or in the morning. He said he woul I prefer going in at once, and he (Mr. Brown) toll Schotield, young man in their employ, to let the prisoner go in at once and see if there was a job, and the prisoner was shown a job —a coat, and was to make a part of it. About ten minutes after wards he (Mr. Brown) was in the shop and the pri soner came to the door and took hold of it. He asked the prisoner what was the matter, and in a hurried manner he replied, "'I could not work in a shop where they use filthy language," and he then went away. At the time they had 10 men at work in the back part of the premises. In answer to Mr. Knox, the witness said the whole affair did not last a quarter of an hour. In cross-examination the wit ness sa i d that when he asked the prisoner if he belonged to th e un i on , he h said,e "No; I have nothing t o d o w i t h them, " and arranged with hi m t o work, the priso ner understanding to work at the present terms. The prisoner did not make inquiries. A certain number of houses pay a certain rate of wages. There were 10 men at work, and his young man, Schofield, introduced the prisoner. lie did not ask the prisoner his name. What passed between the prisoner and the others he could not tell. He did not know that an affray had taken place until a short time afterwards. The next morning he told the attorney what had occurred. Ile was sworn at the court when the warrant was applied far. The 10 men employed by them were non-unionists. Two of the men were in court. Jle applied the next day for a warrant. One of the men in the shop knew the prisoner's address. The matter was placed in the hands of the attorney. He believed the prisoner had been locked up all night. Augustus E. Hirschfield, of Hart-street, Covent garden, said that at the present time he was em ployed by (illiver and Brown, tailors, of Sack.- ville-street, and had been for 12 years. on :lion day evening he was at work with others on the pre mises, and in the course of the evening the prisoner was brought in by Schofield, the under foreman. On the prisoner coining in he looked round and asked what they said in front of the unionists and the non-unionists, and he told the prisoner that non-unionists worked in the shop. The prisoner then pulled off his coat and waistcoat and sat down, and asked Sch o fi e ld w h o wa s to be his partner and what h e was to d o, an d th e p r i s oner had part of a coat giv en to hi m, and when he got it he jumped up .and l oo k e d roun d an d b eg an to dress himself, and said, "I am surprised at a lot of young men like you sitti ng h ere. Y ou are a l o t of lungs." The word " dun gs " means men who work under the men belonging to th e un i on. He asked the prisoner why he sat do wn w i th the " dungs." lie said, , 4 I know the likes of you ; you live near Covent. garden. I knew you before, and I'll just wait for you ; and God strike me dead I'll smash your nose in." The prisoner did not say anything more in reference to the trade. The prisoner afterwards spoke to a y oung man he knew, t e lli n g him that he was surprised at a young manlike him sitting there. The prisoner Was not in the room mo r e than ten minutes. In cross- exam i nation the w it ness said there were ten men sitti n soner's partner faced the prisoner. " Dungs" had those work ingg pretty close together, and the pri a certain meani ng i n t h e m t g e . It was applied to against the mks of the trade. He had not often b een ca l led one hi mse lf. It was an op probrious term, used ,when they got angry. It was only made 11:3C of at the present time because there was more point in it. It was only with those work ing ont and those working in that it was used. He was not pleased at what the prisoner said, but he did not know that lie was particularly angry. He asked the prisoner why he sat with the " (lungs," but not in a particularly loud voice: The prisoner did not sit down many minutes. He never men tioned the name of the Green Dragon (the house where the tailors on strike assemble). Something was said by the prisoner about a wager. He said, "Now, men, you see I've won my wager." He did not say what the wager was. Ile did not tell the prisoner that he would whit for him outside, No one asked the prisoner what the wager was, and no one said they would wait for the prisoner outside. By Mr. Sleigh—The term " dung" had only come into use since the strike had commenced. Samuel Soloman, in the employ of Messrs. 011iver and Brown—l saw the prisoner come into the work shop with Schofield. The prisoner asked what was the meaning of the word unionists. Having been told, he sat down to his job ; but afterwards got up, and said he could not work in that shcp, adding that they were all a set of " dungs," and turning to Hirschfield said, " I know you ; you live about Covent-gar:l2n. I shall wait for you, and will punch your nose or head." The prisoner used this lan guage in an offensive nrinner to Hirschfeld. The prisoner said if they wanted his name it was Joe Reardon. Cross-examined—Hirschfeld tried to explain to the prisoner the terns of the union men. The pri soner tiseJ a variety of threats to Hirschfeld. Robert Foale, in the employ of Messrs. 011iver, corroborate 1 the previous witnesses. The men in the shop were not afraid of the prisoner's threats, but they were afrai 1 there might be a lot of the same sort waiting in the street. Mr. Ribton considered the case trumpery and absurd, and a ridiculous attempt to bring the pri soner within the terms of the statute. There could be n 9 mistake about the words of the statute. They were quite explicit; and as the statute was a highly penal one the words must be construed literally. Now he contended that the evidence showed there was no case whatever against the prisoner. Mr. Knox would remark there was a broad and clear case of threats and intimidation, taking the words used by the prisoner in their common accep tation. Mr. Ribton would contend that the words used by the prisoner were only the angry reply of a man who had been aggravated by taunts and jeers from his fellow-workmen. If every trumpery quarrel and trifling misunderstanding were to be dragged in and connected with the strife now going on be tween masters and workmen it would only serve to throw an air of ridicule on the whole proceedings. There was nothing to show that the prisoner in tended to intimid tte any one, or to:prevent any man from working for a master. There was no mention of the strike throughout the oceurrence, and there fore he was justified in saying the strike had nothing to do with the 'water. He submitted that the law permitted workmen to combine to settle their rate of payment; it was the only means that labour possessed to withstand the tyranny of capital. Bat then he admitted there must be no violence or intimidation, and he would go further, and say if a conviction took place in this instance the result would be that the police courts would be besieged with cases of a paltry character, brought there for purposes that needei no definition, and the law would be called upon to deal with pretended offences as if resulting from the strike, when they were really nothing more than mere ebullition of ill-temper or anger, that might arise strike or no strike. He would ask for a re mand, as he had witnesses to produce who would be able to place the case in its correct light. Mr. Knox wished to know the nature of the evi dence. Mr. Ribton said the witnesses would prove it was only an absurd frolic; that the prisoner made a bet of a gallon of beer that he would get work, and that what he did was done to win his bet. Mr. Knox did not think such evidence would in duce him to change his decision. He must hold the prisoner in custody if he consented to an adjourn ment, and refuse Mr. Ribton made a strong appeal for bail, but Mr. Knox declined to accept bail, as the proba bility was if the prisoner was released on bail he would not be seen in that court again. ANOTHER CAsE.--William Conelly was next charged with another in conspiring to prevent Joseph Hope from working for his employer, Mr. Bowater, of lianover-street, and with violently assaulting him. Mr. Sleigh s lid the assault was a violent one, and as the other man charged htd absconded, he must - ask for substantial bail, as an a ljourana_mt was re quired. Mr. litlox fixed the bail at two sureties in £lOO each. SPIRIT OF TRE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.--We have just achieved one of those de s:!ents which whether it be one or many, whether it be intended or much against inclination, whether a feat, a folly, or a casualty, we do not know, and never shall know. O ne occas i ona lly r e a ds of men who have suddenly foundthemselves, how they know not, at the foot of a precipice, with nothing worse than a few scratches and a sli g ht rent or two. They can just make out here and there they slid off the face of the cliff where not quite sheer, and that lower down their fall was broken by branches and twigs. The mud and sand at the foot of the cliffs, too, did their duty. If there was a fixed idea on the subject of Reform at the commencement of this ses sion, it was a hard and fast line, with the security of ratepaying, to be drawn somewhere. That por tion of the public which finds mental food and solid fact in electoral returns was busily calculating, with the most careful deduc ions and vigilant corrections, how many of each class a given suffrage would give us in every city and borough. Notes doubled and trebled called attention to the cases, where at £6, the new electors would out-number the old ones, and so change the substance and character of the constituency. These al inns, which were sounded all last year, had so far told, either on leaders or on followers, that even the suffrage upon which the House had at last agreed last session did not re appear this spring without a load of securities and compensations. It is evident that only three months ago the majority of the Cabinet, the whole Conser vative party, and more Liberals than chose to con fess, regarded the £6 ratepaying franchise as a very ugly descent to make all at once, and very likely to overmaster the political engineers who were trying to land . us safely at the lower level. But, hap pily, or unhappily, as the event may show, at least one head in the Cabinet knew that it was necessary to make a good bid for Reform ; that it would not be satlicieat to keep in the track of the last bill ; and that a measure out of which every novelty would be knocked in debate, and nothing left but the old .Whig propos 11, would be ruin to the Cabinet. As the conclusion was foregone, small inducement was necessary. But it was found in the black looks of the house, in the eyes that opened and the ears that quickened at the announcement of an old Liberal measure in new Conservative harness. So what has been called the Ten Minutes' Bill was abandoned almost as quickly as it had been conceived, and we found ourselves, to the surprise of many excellent people, landed on Household Suffrage, guarded with all the securities and counterpoises that could be invented or ima gined. That was the first stage of the glissade, and in performing it we acquired an impetus which some of us enjoyed very much, .though aware that we were now carried off our legs, and could not say where wo should find - ourselves. Then came the question of the securities. These had been already foredoomed by the dissentients in the Cabinet, but, as often happens, they had seen, not the coming event, but only its shadow. The securities they seemed to have some sort of respect for, only like other securities, it was thought they would be swept away in a few years, and under the blast of agita tion. We have not had to wait for a Reformed Parliament, an unexpected crisis, or the popular impulse ; for all these securities, whether negative or positive, whether disfranchising or enfranchising, have been strangled in their very birth, abandoned by their authors, and yielding not even the oppor tunity of a single hour's triumph to any supposed foe. They have been knocked away one after anotker, or suffered to fall by their own weight, as cheerfully as all combine to release a newly-built ship from shore and stay as she glides down her ways into deep water. 'Where the resolution was to let nothing hinder, it is not easy to ascribe any reality of intention to any of these securities. It is not easy to suspect Mr. Disraeli of faith in so invidious an exception as the stipulation fur two years' residence in the lower class of voters, or in the newly-created anomaly of dual votes. But the chief of these securities was that personage who has been the true hero of this almost fabulous Session, and whom his friends must have sup posed to be raised up by Providence in these latter days for the deliverance of his country—the com pound householder. A year ago he was a myth to all but parochial authorities, and the landlords and tenants of small houses most of us only see as we fly over them on railway viaducts. The whole sys tem of a legal composition for rates has come in. very recently, gradually; and rather insidiously. Mr. Henley calls. it " an invention of Old Nick," and Mr. Bright says it has never found its way into the favoured borough of Rochdale. On the whole, and taking a calm, dispassionate vi6ar of the de parted hero, once destined, as it seemed, to save his country, we must say that such an offspring of semi-pauperism and low speculation seemed hardly adapted for the high function assigned him. It was an odd quarter to go to for the salvation of the country . What if no such practice had be e n in vented? Then, as composition is by no means an unmitigated evil, but, on the contrary, in many cases a convenient accommodation to facts, why should it entail disfranchisement ? Well, the very question had been already asked, and it bad been admitted that there might be a percentage of righteous men fit for the suffrage even among com pound householders. So our merciful rulers pro pose I a way of escape for them w:nch would at least leave compound householders answerable for their own doom. But then, not to repeat all the hard words about " fines" and impossible labour, and so forth, there was the moral certainty, in which we all agreed, that these poor people woad not qualify of thtiir own accord, and the mond support of these masses would be lost to the new constitution. So, after much trouble had been spent in the vain en deavour to make this man, half ratepayer, half pau per, wholly a citiz2n, Government accepted, as if hailing a lifeboat from a wreck, the mild suggestion to abolish the compound householder whenever he stood in the . way of Parliamentary Reform. In stead of his fulfilling his mission by eating up the worst end of the new constituency, the new consti tuency has done this for him. But here a slight attempt was made, or seemed to be made, to arrest the downward progress of. the bill. A hand was stretched out, and it grasped a twig, or a straw, or a little sand. Could not composition still be adjusted to the franchise by the amicable co-operation of landlord, tenants, and all parties? As composition for rates is not itself the simplest thing in the world, and electoral registration still less so, all sides finally recoiled from the effort to make them work together harmoniously, easily, and without the certainty of corrupt abuses. So down went the compound house holder again, this time for good, and he is now his torical. Then came the enfranchised householder's last peril. If everybody is to have a vote who pays rates, then rates will be paid for everybody, and it will cost less to pay rates for a small tenement than for a larger. "So don't let's have the very little people ; draw a line somewhere," say Mr. Powlett Scrope and not a few Liberals—even Mr. Bright himself, but for congruities and proprieties, would gladly say the same, and do it too. But there was no receding. The pace was too good to stop. The bill went over this little hitch as easily as an express train over a nutshell. The principle of household suffrage is to be carried out, and there are to be no sharp lines between a man paying Is. 6d. a week for his cottage and his neighbour who pays fifteen pence. Meanwhile, quite by the way, and with a sort of Paul Pry expression of " I hope I don't in trude," came in the lodger, who is now one of the great British family. But then came the real down fall, the crash, the smashing, the dislodged rubbish, the broken branches— everything coming down with a run. Down came all the educational franchises, orders, degrees, certificates, congregational "calls," and every mode by which learning or doc trine, or spiritual vocation, loves to authenticate itself. Down came the money franchises, funds, shares, and savings-banks. Whether they were ever intended to stand, and whether anybody ever thought them worth a straw in a bill which gives the suffrage to every man who pays a rate, is a mystery, into which we will not in trude. But when all this stage property had been swept away, then came what some people used to think a vastly more serious question than any scheme of Borough Reform. The County Franchise had to be settled. We have had bills and debates about it every year, we think, for thirty years. Sometimes these debates were animated, and even important. They were always amusing, and we used to hail the pleasant anniversary. It will come no more. Mr. Locke King's day will dis appear from the Calendar. It has been settled at a private meeting of county members, and in a debate which, short as it was, was superfluous, that £5 copyhold and £l2 occupation franchises will meet the views of all parties, and we are not at all sure Mr. Bright is not beginning to thank Heaven that there is a county constituency. How long is this pace to last, and shall we dash through the re distribution in three or four morning sittings? It would take very rough driving to do that, for there are ups and downs, and sharp turnings, and big boulders on the road ; and every borough is a sepa rate question, which it is easier to get into than get out of. However, we shall see. Where there is a will there is a way, and there certainly is a will to pass a Reform Wit. THE " WESTMINSTER GAZETTE" ON THE REPEAL OF OBSOLETE LAWS IN IRELAND.—Since no time is more favourable than the present for putting an end to the injustice still perpetrated in Ireland by the enforcement against Catholics of religious dis tinctions, no effort ought to be omitted to press upon Parliament the wisdom of removing from the statutes of England every penal law, obsolete or still in force, against her Majesty's Catholic sub jects. We are glad that even a partial effort is being made in this direction • that certain oaths, insulting to Catholics, are likely to be soon abo lished by' the bill introduced by Sir C. O'Loghlin, Member for the County of Clare, and also that Mr. M'Evoy, Member for the County of Meath, is about to assail another of those penal enactments, namely, the Ecclesiastical Titles' Act, to the gross injustice of which we have already directed public attention. But, instead of having private members nibbling at the penal laws in this manner, we wou ld call on the Govern men t o f th e country to deal with the whole subject of them as wise states men ought to do, and bring in a general measure repealing every penal law affecting our Catholic fellow -subjects. This would be the manly and generous mode of acting in the matter. If the pre sent Government undertake the passing of such a measure, there is no doubt of their possessing the power necessary for carrying it into law; and by this one simple act of justice they will do more to disarm rebellion, and conciliate the masses of the people of Ireland, than they can ever accom plish by the suspending of the Constitution, the passing of Arms' Bills, the issuing of Special Commissions, and the punishment of unfortunate rebels. We do not blame the Government for dealing firmly with those who disturb the public p ea ce ; but, whilst they punish on the one hand, we call upon ' them, at the same time, to remove all just causes of irritation—and there are many such—still existing in that long-misgoverned coun try. In our article of last week, on the subject of British rule in Ireland, we showed by the words of the Act of Parliament, 10th George IV., c. 7, section 25, the wanton insults offered to the Catholic judges, to the Catholic sheriffs, and, in their persons, to th e C a th o li c people f that kingdom. This same penal law equally applies to every Catholic chief magistrate and corporate officer, and there are few things productive of greater mischief in Ireland at the present day— for it keeps up a perpetual ill-feeling in the minds of the people, and prevents the possibility of their forgetting the old penal code of bygone times. The Catholics of Dublin, for instance, form the overwhelming majority of that, the second city in her Majesty's dominions. Catholics also com pose the great majority of the Dublin Corporation, and have the power, if they choose to exercise it, of selecting a Catholic Lord Mayor every year. But such is their generosity that they have elected a Protestant to that high and' honourable office every alternate year since the passing of the Muni cipal Reform Act, although the Protestants kept them totally excluded from the Corporations for centuries before O'Connell flung open their doors, as he had previously opened the portals of the British Parliament to the Catholics of these king doms. The fact here stated proves the kindly feeling of the Irish Catholics, and surely it is not creditable to the Imperial Legislature to maintain a law at the present day which would deprive the Catholic Lord Mayor of his office if he were to enter his own church in his robes any Sunday or Holy-day in the year. The Protestant Lord Mayor attends his house of worship in Dublin in his official robes. The Catholic Lord Mayor invariably attends the Cathedral Church in Marl borough-street, on the first Sunday after entering on his official duties, but is obliged by the existing penal law, to attend without his robes, or any of the insi g nia of hiS office. This distinction is so hurtful to the minds of the people of Dublin, that many thousands - of them, after the church becomes filled, remain in the adjoining streets until the service is ended, and during all that time are engaged in condemning the law which subjt.cts their magisterial representative to this indi g nity, and which, in his person, insults and wounds the feelings of every Catholic in the kingdom. This open insult to their religion causes them to dwell on the penal laws of former times, and keeps up the tradition of the wrongs their fathers had en dured. Now, we ask, is this wise on the part of our Legislature ? Would it not be better to allow the Irish people, to forget the past, than to have their minds constantly embittered by such recollec tions ? We ask our Protestant countrymen to make it their own case, and say if they would like to be stamped as the inferiors of Catholics, or of the people of any other religion ? We know they would not submit quietly to any such degradation, and we would, therefore, call upon them to act towards Irish Catholics just as they would have others act towards themselves. It is evident, indeed, that this remnant of Irish persecution, for conscience' sake, cannot last much longer; for we know that our leading Statesmen, on both sides of the House, are in favour of the immediate repeal of all such enactments as are in force at the present day in Ireland. These enactments, affecting laymen, which wo haye here. pointed out, are bad enough ; but the penal laws now in force against the ecclesiag tics of the Catholic Church are still worse. ) 3 1 the 24th section of the 4th George IV., C. 7, it 1 5 enacted that, "if any person" (other than Pro testants and Presbyterians) " shall assume or u se the name, style, or title of archbishop of any pro vince, bishop of any bishopric, or dean of any deanery, in England or Ireland, he shall, for every such offence, forfeit and pay the sum of one hun dred pounds." Such is the law passed in 18 29, an ', which is still in force. But this law was not deemed sufficiently stringent, and hence another Act, the 15th and 16th Victoria, c. 60, common l y called the Ecclesiastical Titles' Act, was pass ed some two-and-twenty years after, which imposes the same enormous penalty upon any Catholic, ecclesiastic who shall assume or use the title 01 any town or place whatsoever within this realm' Let us now see what the effect would be. if this law were actually enforced. All ecclesias tica, jurisdiction in the Catholic Church, throughoti,t the entire world, emanates from the Pope of ILon and is by him bestowed on the several arclibis ho P s and bishops, within the provinces or dioceses ,re spectively assigned to them. It is by virtue of 015 jurisdiction that the archbishops and bishops a,r°o ~. enabled to govern and control those placed u nt !' them. For example, it is not by any a uthoriq possessed by him, as Paul Cullen, that the Cardinati Archbishop of Dublin can condemn any see r ; society, or any member of any s•ich society ; b ut is by virtue of the ecclesiastical jurisdiction con ferred on him as Archbishop of Dublin that lie exercises his authority. Let us suppose, that any priest in Dublin, or any part of the Po" vince committed to his Grace's spiritual charg e t were to favour Fenianisin to 7 morrow, and that the archbishop deemed it his duty, as he deem' edly would, to punish him for such conduct, he could properly do so only by signing the sentenc e as " Paul, Archbishop of Dublin." And it follows, therefore, that in order to discharge his solemn duty to the Queen, and render a service to the (1° vernment, by preserving the public peace, til e d Catholic Archbishop of Dublin would be compell e , then , to violate this most needless and absurd penal lam', and be obliged to subject himself to a fine of tit' hundred pounds. Could any Government, we a s s' enforce such a law at the present time ? Certainll not. And if the law cannot be enforced—but if, ,° ll , the contrary, the Government must feel thankieL to the Catholic bishops for violating it, in erd.,,,r to preserve the public peace—where is the u se keeping such a law on the statute-book ? What Iv" have said of his Eminence Cardinal Cullen, al3 plies equally to every other archbishop and bis 11,01! in these kingdoms. In the discharge of the dutie: of their sacred office, they are compelled to ' l 2 O the name and style of their See ; and area therefore, daily compelled to violate this unil s , and oppressive law. It is the duty of all Catho, lie ecclesiastics, but more especially of those el , e o vated to high position, to teach submission if the constituted authorities ; but the effects °, their teaching on this head are likely to I) weakened by the very fact that they who cate the doctrine of obedience to the laws are WI, selves obliged to violate some of their e na , c a t ments every day. We are certain, however, tuto the nature and folly of these laws only require d; in d' be generally understood by the people of Engerorder to have them immediately repealed. It g a l mistake to, suppose that it would suffic3 to rer r a the Ecclesiastical Titles' Act, in order to an a se liberty to the Catholic hierarchy. For this pu Tl3 the portions of the 10th George IV., c. 7, to ~ ,11 we have referred, must also be repealed. The l ; e , l e another enactment still more penal in its n av- ti a than . any of :those we have above adverted to, lie that is the law regarding the regular Catn ° , lo clergy . of these kingdoms. We believe that v, at existence of such a law is not known to the g rc ,,,, bulk of our fellow-countrymen, and that, if it Nv e ` u ; they would soon insist on the repeal of so ociio d a statute. It is enacted by the 29th s ection a the 4th George IV., c. 7, that if any w e lter of any society of the regular clergy shall, "is the commencement of this Act, come into t.'ity realm, lie shall be deemed and taken to be g il t i lly of a misdemeanour, and, being thereof 10 ,0 be convicted, shall be sentenced and ordered t° fib, of from the United Kingdom for the t e ' b , of his natural life." In a former article on this 511 4 1 ject, we told our readers that there was a P el ,: n t law in force in these kingdoms at the pre s 'be day which sentenced regular clergymen " t, ° in d transported for being alive in this realm ;' c a although we are sure such a thing must haves een i no almost incredible to many, they can7now have d$ doubt of the fact, as we have quoted the wa er , of the Act of Parliament. The reader will P ceive, by the wording of the Act, that it is nir for committing any crime, nor even for perf°1:1110 ing any clerical duties, but, literally, for " alive"btiiat within any part of these kingdoms, these Catholic priests are liable to e. transP ° , r ; o r tion ! Hence, it follows, that if the Elq,' - re or Empress of the French were to come i l ; e r again, on a visit to our Queen, and bring ° tl i e a , chaplain of any of the regular orders o f 41,1 Catholic clergy, the imperial chaplain ly ° `be be liable, according to the letter of the law , t° o seized, incarcerated, tried, and sentenced to tra o portation for the period of his natural life ! long is England, we repeat, to preserve oil - 0 statute-book, despite her boasted Christianity, .30, the enlightenment of the age in which We b o cl such obsolete laws? We are sure that the e eoe sense of the country will soon put an end to ti in last remains of •the barbarous code formerlY force against the Catholics of these kingdoms' COUNTRY MARKETS. 1117 LL.—T UESDAY. 15 1 °f At our market to-day there was a, moderate surriceg• English wheat, which sold steadily at last week's PI D o Foreign in middling request, and samples saleable!", de rates.
