There is no doubt that the Italian Government might easily save itself from destruction, and its people from misery, by proper concessions. Whatever may be the hopes and wishes of leading agitators, it is an invariable rule that the bulk of a nation does not willingly court revolution, and may always be appeased by timely offers. What is needed in Italy is a financial reform and an extension of the franchise. The latter would so surely involve all other needed changes that it would very likely be sufficient to yield that one point in order to win the battle against the Republicans. At present the franchise is only to be obtained by the payment of £1 12s. a year in direct taxes—a rule which restricts the elec toral body to very small proportions. The result is that the deputies who find their way into Parliament are mostly wealthy men, opposed to reform, and careful only to fatten themselves at the p iblic expense. The Italian Legislature is notoriously the most lazy and indifferent in Europe. A change in this directioh would do much, and in time might do everything. Though perhaps less acceptable to the people than immediate redress of grievances, it could not fail to direct their attention to peaceful means of gaining their ends. They would differ materially from all other peoples which enjoy con stitutional government, if they did not prefer reform by the ballot-box rather than reform by the sword. But should the Government persist in its present indifference, it will not be surprising if there be a terrible awakening shortly. THE case of the Great Oceanic Telegraph Company is, at all events, valuable as a proof that the public is not disposed to repeat with submarine cable enterprise the errors into which it was led by finance companies and banks. Absurd as the Great Oceanic project was, it would doubtless have gained supporters two or three years ago. But things have happily altered so much lately that this magnificent and promising enterprise can find only one share holder. It was a gorgeous concern, and looked like a charming investment, but melancholy events are too recent for the public to be easily bitten again. The promoters of the Great Oceanic proposed with a capital of £OOO,OOO to make and work both sub marine and land telegraphs in all parts of the world on the "system of light cables for deep seas." Most moderate were the aspirations of the directors and chairman. The latter was to draw only £3OO a year for, his services, and the former but £2OO a year each. The capital, too, it is obvious, is very moderate for such grand under -takings. Yet the public was not to be "landed." The promoters had the utmost difficulty in maintain ing even the most nominal balance at the bankers; the sum frequently fell below zero,it rarely exceeded £5O, and only once did it reach so high as £149 lls. Bd. The principal business of the company was transacted with newspapers in the way of inserting advertisements and paying for the same after insertion. The ./Ilethodist Recorder and the Record benefited by the Great Oceanic, if the world at large failed to reap the huge harvest of bene ficence so confidently promised. One shareholder was hooked, and, welcome stranger though ho was, he brought the company to ruin. Mr. Perry applied f(1 a hundred shares, and paid the deposit of £25. Fin& ing that he had been more trusting than the rest of his kind, Mr. Perry soon grew alarmed, and proposed t(' withdraw. Of course the promoters would not let him, but sent an application for more money. Re. duced to .desperate straits, the solitary shareholt:el at length found means of retaliation. lie discover& mat the company had no registered _office In compliance with the 39th section of the Joint Stock Companies Act. He accordingly summoned the promoters for this breach of the law, and succeeded in imposing a fine of £2s—the proper penalty being Vi a day for the violation of the Act. It remains to be seen how the directors Will overcome this difficulty. They have al rew,ly spent much money in advertising, but now their project has been most extensively made known, and all for nothing. The public has before it the whole scheme, and its fruits ought soon to be made manifest. We leave Mr. Perry and the promoters to settle the matter between them. Meanwhile, it is satisfactory to know that the speculative mania has not reappeared in, the shape of a rage for tele g-raphic investment. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) SPAIN.

THE recent attempts at insurrection in Italy, futile as they have proved, undoubtedly bear witness to the existence of wide-spread and serious discontent. II is useless to discuss the question whether Mazzini was at .the -bottom of these particular outbreaks. It is sufficient to know that a very powerful Republican 'organisation, of which Mazzini is the chief, has spread itself throughout the entire peninsula, that its agitation is incessant, that in ad dition to a very large following amongst the lower orders, it has at length gained a large body of adherents in the army. The poison of disaffection has tainted the mass of the nation. And, unfortu nately, this revolutionary spirit finds but too much justification in the deeds and promises of the Govern ment. There is no denying the fact that the hopes which were entertained of a united Italy have not been realised hitherto. United, or nearly united, the nation is; but the rearrangement of its political divisions has done nothing for the happiness of the people. The country is misruled. These outbreaks are not, as in Ireland, expressions of discontent with a Government which strives to reform, but the sign of thorough want of confidence in a Government which makes no real attempt at amendment. The expenses of administration "are excessively great, and the debt continually increases in time of peace. The army budget might be greatly reduced, for Italy has no need for a large military force, unless she proposes to fight for the possession of Rome—an enterprise of which there are no signs at present. Still more rea sonably might the civil expenditure, the vast sums of money thrown away upon court favourites and para sites, be curtailed. Yet the Ministry does not attempt to effect either reform upon the requisite scale. The people are ground down with taxation ; riots through some of the imposts aro as common as Irish threatening letters or French duels ; and the rule of the troops, themselves often discontented, prevails everywhere. There can be little doubt that the Italian Executive might, if it would, so reduce, expenditure as to lighten those crushing burdens, and avoid a deficit which is never under five millions and sometimes reaches twelve. Bnt, instead of winning the goodwill of the people by just retorms, the Government adds tyranny to taxation. Its administration of justice is bad, its treatment of the press is unjust, it frequently interferes with the right of public meeting, and it neglects educational and industrial questions. What is the use of a Government which does the things it ought not to do, and leaves undone the things which it ought to do ? What is its claim upon the loyalty and obedience of the people ? It is not for outsiders to settle the precise point of mis rule at which a nation is justified in having recourse to strong measures. These outbreaks are doubly deplo rable, for they involve the evils of civil war without any reasonable prospect of securing the reforms to which a revolution sometimes, though rarely, gives rise. But we who have ourselves turned out a King for abusing his powers, and who havo witnessed, with perfect equa nimity, endless changes of government on the part of oppressed peoples cannot wonder that after a long and patient trial the Italians have abandoned hope of their present system These abortive explosions of dissatisfaction are likely only to aggravate the prevalent evils, but the blame rugst be with those who are answerable for the THE EASTER MONDAY REVIEW. The following general officers will hive commands at the Easter Volunteer Review:—Lieut.-General the Hon. Sir Jamcs Yorke Scarlett, G.C.8., the Command-in-Chief ; Major-General G. J. Carey; C. 8., Major-General D. Lysons, C. 8., Major- General J. S. Brownrigg, C. 8., and Major-General his Serene Highness Prince E lward of Saxe- Weimar, C. 8., will command divisions. That por. lion of the force representing the enemy' will be under the command of Major-General David.-Rus sell, C.B. MR. BRIGHT. The Glasgow Herald states that though Mr. Bright's health is improving, his •progress towards recovery is so iow that there is no chance of his returning to iris Parliamentary or official duties this session. He has, therefore, manifested a desire to be relieved from his responsibiles at the Board of Trade, and has left the decision to his colleagues. Mr. Gladstone, it is said, is very unwilling to lose the influence which Mr. )3right's presence in the Cabinet confers. We may add that Mr. Bright's own near relatives are anxious that he should resign. THE BUDGET. The Glasgow Herald says that it is in a position to state Mr. Lowe's intentions with regard to the Budget. He will take one penny off the income-tax, reducing it to fourpence. He will equalise the duties on sugar. He will allow farmers to sprout or steep their own barley. He will make an alteration in brewers' license. He will propose an alteration in the newspaper postage. He will leave the tea and coffee duties untouched, and will keep £1,000,000 in hand for special purposes which, he will explain to the House. M. ituunEit AND THE GOVERNORSHIP OF ALGERIA. The Gazette de France makes a singular announcement, whichit has received on good authority. M. Rouher, now President of the French Senate, and formerly Prime Minister and confidant of the Emperor, has accepted the governorship of Algeria, on condition of holding the position of a viceroy. The Algerian administration under M. Rouher will consist of two kinds of Ministers — one military the other civil— General Trochu being at the head of the first, and M. de St. Paul, senator, who was formerly M. Rouher's right hand man, the chief of the second. M. 011ivier at first strongly opposed this arrangement, but eventually gave his consent, partly because it would remove M. Rouher, a dangerous rival and reactionist from the scene, and partly in order to please the Emperor THE RUMOURS OF THE CITY OF BOSTON. Nothing has been heard at Queenstown of the disabled steamer alleged to have been seen off Kilkee ; and the reportis generally considered untrustworthy. The naval authorities have sent out the gunboat Pheasant to cruise in the direction indicated, The vessel is said to have been seen on Friday. The City of Durham, which starts from Crookhaven every morning for a cruise N.W., has not heard anything of her. THE CITY OF BRUSSELS DISABLED. (By Atlantic Cable.) NEW YORK, April 3.

This afternoon a meeting of the committee appointed by the Society of Arts, at the request of Her Majesty's Commissioners, to organise the educational divisions of the Annual International Exhibitions, commencing in 1871, was held at the rooms of the society, John-street, Adelphi, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, president of the Society, occupied the chair. The exhibition of educational works and appliances will include specimens of all the subjects belonging to the following branches into which this class is subdivided : School buildings, fittings, furniture, &c. ; books, maps, globes, instruments, &c. ; appliances for physical training, including toys and games ; specimens and illustrations of modes of teaching fine art, natural history, and physical science; specimens of school work serving as examples of the results of teaching. All the producers named in these lists are eligible to send new specimens of their respective branches of pro duction. The aim of the exhibition being to show specimens remarkable for excellence, novelty, invention, etc., it is desirable to limit the number of specimens from each producer to those which are absolutely necessary : consequently no duplicates of any object can be admitted. As far as possible specimens should be exhibited in glass frames, the wood-work of which should not exceed two inches in depth, and an inch and a half in width. The frames should be black. Models of school buildings, heating and ventilating appa ratus, &c., ought not to exceed the scale necessary to shew their construction or working parts intelligibly. But generally drawings shewing the buildings, &c., in plan, section, and elevation will be preferred to models, as they can be more easily exhibited. Specimens of fit tings, furniture, &c., such as desks and forms, must be kept within moderate limits ; for instance, the desks and forms ought not to exceed four feet in length. The name of the object, as well as that of the manufacturer, should be securely attached to each article. , All educational works and appliances must be delivered at the Exhibition building into the charge of the proper officers, unpacked and ready for immediate exhibition, on Wednesday the Bth, or Thursday the 9th February, 1871. To every object, whe n ex hibit e d; will be attached a label, prepared by her Majesty's commissioners, which will contain the following particulars :-1. The name of the object ; 2. the purpose for which it is intended ; 3. the exhibitor's name ; 4. his address 5. The reasons why it is exhibited, such as—lts special fitness for its purpose ; its, illustrative character ; its novelty ; its. ingenuity ; its superiority ; its cheapness. 6. The price, unless the exhibitor objects. 7. Any explana tions, &c. Specimens of school work serving as examples of the results of teaching.—These will be confined to the following :—Writins, plain and ornamental ; drawing and design ; modelling in clay, terra-cotta, wax, &c. ; models of machinery, building construction, &c. ; needlework, plain and ornamental, lace, knitting, &c. ; miscellaneous work by pupils in schools for the blind, reformatories, &c. The SECRETARY read a correspondence between the Royal Commissioners for the Exhibition of 1851 and the Society of Arts, which calls attention to a series of annual international exhibitions, of which the first is to be held in 1871, and in which the Society of Arts professes its desire to . co-operate cordially in the scheme. The SECRETARY also read a report, giving a summary of the society's proceedings in relation to the Educational Exhibition of 1854. He said that the exhibitors amounted to 539, of whom 425 were British, 114 foreign, The Ex hibition was opened by his Royal Highness the Prince in July, and it was closed in September. The council of the society, however, transferred a number of the objects shewn to the South Kensington Museum. The Prince of WALES said : My lords and gentlemen, we are assembled here together for the pupose of organis ing the Educational Section of the International Exhi bition of 1871. I appear before you in the double capacity of president of your society • and Presi dent of the Royal Commission of 1851, having succeeded the late lamented Lord Derby, who, much as he was missed—as he always will be missed—as a great statesman, will also be missed as President of the Commission whose interests he had so much at heart. As was well known, in this ' very room the exhibitions of 1851 and 1862 were first planned. [ think I may say that as regards the subject of education this society has always been prominent in using its best efforts for the promotion of education. (Hear, hear.) • And it is almost needless to remind you that this society had an Exhibition in 1854, which was inaugurated by m late lamented father. (Hear, hear.) This society, therefore, 'having as one of its great objects in view, that of education. I think we are, as a society, well qualified to deal with the subject before us. I can assure your, my lords and gentlemen, that it gives me the greatest gratification to preside here on this occasion. and to shew you that I am entirely alive to the great question of the day, namely, that of education. It , may, perhaps, be agreeable *to the meeting that, as the subject is of such great weight, and importance, I should read a short address which I have before me, so as the more fully to ex ' plain the object we have in assembling here to-day. It is one of members, and of a large committee of persons eminent in their various stations, for the interest they have displayed in education, appointed without re ference to political party, denomination, or social position, for the purpose of causing the best possible representation in 1871 of the various materials and apparatus used in teach ing, and of establishing, as far as practical, the results of the many systems of instruction which are practised in this country and the other nations of the world. Under the first class we find such objects as affect the sanitary condition of schools, the desks and stools used, maps and globes, books, pictures, scientific diagrams, objects of natural history, and the like. Under the second class will be shewn illustrations of the modes of teach ing reading, writing, music, and gymnastics. and the interesting work of educating those whom Nature has deprived of sight, speech, and hearing with the suc cessful results of such modes. In this exhibition of edu cation foreigners as well as British subjects will take their share, and I am happy to say that Sweden has already ap plied for permission to exhibit a full sized model of one of its parish schools. The duty of this Committee is to see that such work as I have sketched out, shall be completely accomplished; the exhibitors shall come forward and offer their productions ; that the best only shall be selected for exhibition, and that discus sions on systems of instruction shall be properly organized. I indulge a sanguine hope that the labours of this committee will teach many lessons that will lead to the improvement of the quality of primary education, and to the extension of that secondary instruction in science and art so much needed for the industrial progress of this country— a necessity proved at the Exhibition - of 1851, originated and conducted by my illustrious father, and confirmed agai n i n 1862 and at Paris in 1867, where our own citizens shewed by their remarkable reports how strong were their convictions on this point Difficulties there are as there always must be in the com: pletion of a great work, and here I am reminded how fully the difficulties connected with this work of education were appreciated by my father as long ago as 1851, and you will, I hope, allow me, whilst on this point, to quote the Prince Consort's own words—" You will probably . trace the cause of our social condition to a state of ignorance and lethargic parents generally ; but the root of the evil will, I suspect, be found to extend into that field on which the political economist exercises his activity—l mean the labour market, demand and supply. To dissipate that ignorance, and arouse from that lethargy, may be difficult, but with the united and earnest efforts of all who are the friends of the working classes, it ought, after all, to be only a question of time ; what measures can be brought to bear upon the other root of the evil is a more delicate question, and will require the nicest care in handling; for there you cut into the very quick of the working-man's condition. His children are not only his off spring to be reared for a future independent posi tion, but they constitute part of his productive power, and work with him for the staff of life. The daughters especially are the handmaids of the house, the assistants of the mother, the nurses os the younger children, the aged, the sick. To deprive the labouring family of their help would be almost to paralyse the domestic existence." But my visit with the Princess of Wales to the middle class schools in the city of London on Wednesday last, and the reports on Faversham school and the district union schools of the metropolis, which have been pub lished by our society, make me hope that even these difficulties may admit of solution. By improved organisation of school, and of teaching. power, I think it is shewn that instruction may be so given as to enable earning and learning to go hand in hand together. I close these few remarks by bidding God speed to this committee in the great work which is before them. Two resolutions will be offered for your acceptance, and any explanation will be afforded which may seem necessary. CoL Scorn gave an explanation of the committee's work and also of the plan of the exhibition. In former exhi bitions the object had been to shew every possible class of work; but in that of 1871 the object would be to shew only a certain number which had been duly examined, and report on them within a reasonable time. Instead of allowing things to be brought in wholesale they would be dealt with carefully. No prizes would be given —the admission to the Exhibition would be considered as the prize. But he believed that as they went on they would find many societies and private indi viduals willing to offer prizes. As to the particular manner in which they would be offered no information could yet be given. A catalogue would be published in English, and other nations could publish one if they thought fit. Sir JOHN PAKINGTON, Bart., M.P., moved the first re solution :—" Resolved that this committee, having heard the observations of his Royal Highness the President, the correspondence which has taken place between the Royal Commissioners for the Exhibition of 1851 and the Coun cil of the Society of Arts, together with the report of the proceedings of the Educational Exhibition of 1854, and the explanations offered by Lieut.-Colonel Scott, hereby expresses its approval of the purpose, and pledges itself to give its hearty co-operation. Respecting this great national question of education, ,he could not refrain from expressing emphatically • his earnest and anxious hope that the time was at last at hand when by the vigorous determination of her Majesty's Government supported as he believed they would be by the great majority of all parties in the Legislature—(hear, hear)—the important question would have its final solution and settlement. However that might be, and even supposing that the most sanguine hopes on this subject are realised, there would be much of importance, and probably of difficulty, to be done. He believed that nothing would more tend to smooth these difficulties and conduce to this end—which they all so much desired—than the information which might be de rived from such exhibitions as that which they were likely to see in those respecting which they were met. A vote of thanks to the Pr*fil of Wales for pre§iding grniclacd the pißgeazigq, THE TRAMWAYS BILL. HOUSE OF COMMONS, AIONDAT. The select committee respecting this bill met again to day. Mr. S. Lefevre in the chair. Mr. J. Layton, vestry clerk of Islington, presented a, petition from the vestry of that parish in favour of the Government bill, and protesting against the suggestion that the Metropolitan Board of Works should have the entire control of the tramways of the metropolis. Mr, Layton stated that it was intended to present the petition to the House of Commons in the first instance, but there .had not been time to do so. The Islington vestry never gave authority for the statement that the vestries and district boards of the Metropolis approved of the tramways being placed in the hands of the Metro politan Board of Works. Mr. T. Morris, solicitor, of London, was examined in the existing tramways interest. He said that he had had a good deal of experience in joint stock business, and had taken a good deal of interest also in the construction of tramways. He had knowledge of the working of tram ways in America and in England. He thought it would prove very benefical to the tramway interest if the Government bill were passed. The effect of its passing would be to bring a large amount of capital into the field. It would be a misfortune if the local authorities were allowed to veto any tramway scheme. It would not be desirable to allow the majority of any town council to have such a power. Cases of dispute ought to be decided by a committee of the House of Commons. The construction of tramways would become so extensive that it might be well to establish a distinct body to whom appeal might be made in cases of dispute between the promoters of tramways and local authorities. When the corporation of a town, or any other local authority, agreed to sanction the laying down of a tram way, and a dispute arose as to whom it should belong, then the Board of Trade should be the arbitrator. His opinion with regard to the latter point was that, whoever constructs a tramway, it shonld be maintained and worked by a joint stock company. By the Chairman : He did not think it would be well to give the tramways to be constructed under this bill to existing omnibus companies. He thought there was room enough in London for tramways and omnibuses to exist together. Mr. Hopkins, engineer of the Liverpool Tramways Company, was examined respecting the results of the working of the tramways in that town. The gauge of the Liverpool and Birkenhead tramways was 4t feet, the same as the lines in America. This gauge necessitated the wheels being under the body of the coach, an arrangement which would be inconvenient for omnibuses running part of the distance on the tramways and part on the road. He thought that there should be a uniform gauge for one town. In Liver pool the length of tramway was 3i miles, and the charge was 3d. each passenger inside, and 2d. outside. This line cost £3,500 a mile, the cost of the sleepers being £l,OOO a mile, and the paving £2,500. By the Chairman : The tramways in Liverpool had not Injured the omnibus traffic. They had, on the contrary, improved it. Only eight omnibuses were in use in Liver pool before the tramways came into existence ; now there were twenty. The omnibuses make use of the tramways, and seemed to fully appreciate their benefit. Mr. Gore, of the Staffordshire Pottery Tramways, gave evidence in favour of tramways being entrusted to com panies, and against corporations having entire charge of them. The committee adjourned at four o'clock. VIE PRISON AND PRISON MINISTERS' ACTS. HOUSE OF COMMONS, Mormer. The Select Committee of the House of Commons again resumed their sitting on these acts, Mr. Maguire in the chair. The first witness examined was Mr. Kirner, the Roman Catholic minister attending Coldbath Fields. He stated that he attended the prison four days in the week, from helf-past nine o'clock till nearly one o'clock. Previous to September or August last he was only allowed three days. On Sundays he also attended from nine to eleven o'clock. The Protestant minister had two services, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. When he asked the visiting justices for another service, he was told that the Protestants had only half a service in the morning and afternoon, so that strictly speaking, they were in the same position as the Catholics. There was an average number of 2,000 male prisoners, about 400 of whom were Catholics. He was only allowed to collect twelve prisoners together for Mass and teaching, and the time allowed was barely sufficient to give the necessary instructions. It would be a great boon if he were allowed to collect 100 together. He was first allowed to have Divine worship in 1867. Certain altar plate was necessary, and this was provided by the visiting priest, who received no payment for his services. The Hatton Garden congregation with which he was connected was very poor. Last summer there was a direct interference with the Catholic prisoners. The warders opened the cells of the Catholics, and told them that they might at tend the afternoon service of the Protestants, and if they did not they would be locked up in their cells. That was given up on his remonstrating. If witness had daily service and liberty to attend the prison at all times the same as the Protestant minister, he thought he should be able to do all the work himself. The Protestant minister had interfered with the Catholic prisoners by asking them about the tenets of their Church, but he had ceased since witness had remonstrated.—By Sir John Pakington He had not applied to the visiting justices either for daily services or payment, because he believed the request had been refused to his predecessor. Dr. Kirner was re called, and stated that he must have been in error when he said that only twelve prisoners were allowed to be col lected ' • it vas twenty-five.—Mr. Kelly said he had atten ded as Catholic priest for eighteen months to the prisoners in Clerkenwell. There was an average of sixty, male and female, prisoners. He had not the same free access to the prisoners as the Protestant clergyman, who could go from cell to cell, whilst he had to wait in a room till the warder brought a prisoner to him. He sometimes found that the warder brought the refusal of a prisoner, when no such refusal was given.—To the Chairman : They were obliged to have more priests in his district because of their having to attend the prison. He had only one day for instruction during the week ; he had also the Sunday service. There was no service on Sunday be 'ere September last,. and that privilege was granted on his giving up one instruction-day in the week. Mr. Furnell, chairman of the Justices of Middlesex, was called, and the court shortly afterwards adjourned. SERIOUS FIRES. Whilst the fire was burning near the Minories an other took place in the premises of Mr. A. May, a corn dealer, situate behind the Kent Dispensary, which burned down a building used as a store. An other serious fire happened in the private residence of Mrs. Forsyth, 37, Gloucester-place, Hyde-park. The house, which consisted of 12 rooms, was severely damaged by fire and water. About 20 minutes after two this (Tuesday) morning a fire broke out in the Turkish Baths, 184, Euston-road, belonging to Mr. J. Burton, which _ destroyed one bath at the back of the dwelling-house and seriously injured other por tions of the premises. Her Maksty the Queen will hold a Council at Windsor Castle on Friday next. Dlr. F. E. Gladstone, late of Llandaff Cathedral (formerly a pupil of Dr. S. S. Wesley) and a junior member of the distinguisLed family of that name, has, says the Musical Standard, been appointed to the organistship of Chichester Cathedral. A marriage is arranged between Lady Alexina Duff, third daughtor of the Earl of Fife, and Mr. Aubrey Coventry, secand son of the Hon. Henry Coventry. Prince Pierre Bonaparte is still at Auteuil. General Prim having sprained his foot, has re opened an old wound, and been compelled to take t his bed. Mr. Stanley, solicitor, was acquitted at Norwich yesterday on a charge of conspiracy to bribe at the last Nor wich municipal election. Two cases still remain to be dis posed of. The Chalons Camp will open this year on the Ist June and close on the Ist of September for three months. T he ca mp is to be commanded by General Frossard, the Governor of the Prince Imperial. The Prince himself will remain in the camp for six weeks, and the Emperor and Empress are expected to make a somewhat long stay there. The Musical Standard says the Berlioz Festival in Paris has scarcely covered its expenses, despite a donation of 1,500 f. from the Emperor Napoleon and the Minister of Fine Arts. DISAPPEARANCE AT SANDRINGHA3I.—A paragraph under this heading appeared in our columns on Saturday, forwarded to us through the Central Press Association. We have ascertained from Ms. Partridge that the statement is entirely without foundation, and we regret having given publicity to it. SALE OF THE COLONEL—The announcement that The Colonel, the winner of the Liverpool Steeplechase for the last two anniversaries, was to be sold at Tattersall's yes terday, in accordance with the testamentary directions of his late owner, Mr. John Weyman, attracted a large attend ance of sportsmen of all grades to the yard. The son of Knight of Kars and Boadicea wai put up at 1,000 guineas, he speedily advanced to 2,000 guineas, the most spirited opponent of M. Andre being, it was said, a gentleman from Glasgow. ventually, however, the horse was seemed by the foreigner, being knceked down to M. Andre for the large sum of 2,600 guineas. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE NEAR THE TOWER.—Last night, at a few minutes before nine o'clock, the warehouses of Messrs. Teuton and Doggett, hop merchants, 6, Cooper's row, Tower-hill, were destroyed by fire. The contents of the building were chiefly hops, which for a long time sent f .rth more smoke than flame, but that of so dense and suffo cating a character that the firemen had great difficulty in approaching. In about an hour, however, the fire chanOd its character, and vast bodies of flame burst through all the windows. Adjoining were the Trinity bonded tea ware houses, belonging to Messrs. Wrightson, which were long in imminent danger, but by the exertions of the firemen the flames were prevented from entering the latter buildings. The damage is estimated at .00,000. THE CASE OF CAPTAIN EYRE. The Japan Mail, just arrived, gives the conclusion of the inquiry into the loss of the Oneida, which took place at Kangawa, immediately after the collision. The ac counts already received gave us the captain's mate's, and pilot's evidence, and the papers before us report the evidence of the other officers of the ship. Several of these witnesses said they heard shouts of " Steamer ahoy !" from the other vessel, but did not know the col lision was serious. More remarkable was the evidence of Robert Clements, Lieutenant who stated that he boarded the Bombay about nine o'clock, and asked why Captain Eyre had anchored so far out. He replied that he thought he was justified in anchoring so far off, as it was difficult to tell what dis tance the lights were. He had never been on the coast of Japan before, and was also in the hand s o f th e pilot who had advised him to anc h or th ere . Besides that he had cut th e quar t er o ff a . Yankee frigate coming up ' the bay. Witness said " Yankee frigate 1 That must have been the Oneida. I hope she is not seriously damaged. Is she in want' of assistance ?" He said no, he thought not. He lay to for some time, and saw no signals denoting that she wanted help. He had the mails on board, and thought he would come on and land them. He thought the other could not go on and would come back to Yokohama to repair damages. He said he had some of her booms and sails on board, and fancied he had knocked some of her boats away. Witness asked if he had been damaged himself. Captain Eyre replied that his ship was making water, but nothing seriously. Lieutenant Leaventhorpewent on board before witness, but not on duty. Captain Eyre said also besides " that he had cut the quarter off a Yankee frigate,"—`• Serve her jolly well right ; she crossed my bows on starboard helm." Witness replied, " Well, that was a curious thing to do • I hope you were porting." Learned after wards that Lieutenant Leaventhorpe had informed Cap tain Eyre what ship it was that he must have struck. Captain Eyre did not think the Oneida seriously damaged. Had he done so he should have reported it. As it was, he reported it as a serious thing. Mr. Gough, sub- Lieutenant of the Ocean, said he had been sent on board the Bombay to request the captain to go down to the scene of the accident, as his was the only ship with the steam up. Captain Eyre said " I can't, I have a hole in my bows." Another officer gave similar evidence. Captain Eyre addressed the Court, mention ing at the time he spoke to the officers from the Ocean he might have spoken hastily—having been standing for so many hours, and being anxious and worried. After a good deal more evidence had been taken the court gave its decision at considerable length. Two ques tions it said had to be decided. 1. Was the injury sus tained by the Bombay brought about by the fault of her commander, Captain Eyre? 2. After the collosion be tween. the Bombay and the Oneida had taken place, what was the conduct of the master of the former vessel? The first question the court answered in the negative. With regard to the second question the court decided among many other conclusions. That no danger to his vessel, passengers, and cargo was apprehended by Mr. Eyre. That from the questions he asked the pilot, he evidently thought that the Oneida m i g ht poss ibly h av e sustained serious injury. That after his ship again pro ceeded he gave no orders that a look-out should be keptin the direction of the Oneida. That had he, or anyone else, been keeping a proper look-out, the flash of the Oneida's guns must have been seen, though their report might not have been heard. We recognise the fact that Mr. Eyre was placed in a position of great difficulty and doubt, and in circumstances under which he was called upon to decide promptly ; but we regret to have to record it as our opinion that he acted hastily and ill-advisedly in that, instead of waiting and endeavouring to render assist ance to the Oneida, he, without having reason to believe that his own vessel was in a perilous condition, proceeded on his voyage. The court held that this was a breach of the 33rd section of the 63rd chapter of the Merchant Shipping Act Amendment Act of 1862, and, as already announced by telegraph, suspended Captain Eyre's certiti, cate for six months. The nomination for East Devon will take place on Saturday. No opposition is yet offered to Mr. Kennaway'd election. ~i , tr.--4),T, ..,,. _.„; ~,,. ~,,,,. , 4‘ s, auurt -- ,-,'lirtnitair .__3:::, - 'll - !OM I 2 e D k ~ I ~nad~ jater.~ D' ?)* D; D'' o A ron b o sQltr,
