From Chili it is stated that an armistice had been concluded with Spain. Financial affairs seemed in sad disor ler, and a new emission of $5,000;000 in Treasury Bills, bearing 11 per cent. interest, had been made. From Brazil news is not cheering.

Dancing to the choice music per formed by the band of the Horse Guards was fully enjoyed by tho company. Madame Thompson is esteemed by the beau monde as the most relined artiste in millinery known in London or Paris ; and this exemplary instance of libe rality, especially in inviting the whole of her staff of youthful female assistants from her various establishments to take part in the gay assembly, indicates that goodness of heart is blended with her singular talent.

CHARGE OP RECEIVING STOLEN GOODS AGAINST A TRADESMAN.—John Morris, a carman in the service of Messrs. Seward and Co , carriers, Cannon-street, City, and Edward Platts, a carman out of employ, were brought up on remand, charged with stealing, and Mr. Cornelius Belcham, a grocer carrying on business in Drury-lane, were charged with receiving about 5 cwt. of sugar. Ackrill, in addition to the evidence given on Saturday last, said lie had found eleven chests of tea and four empty chests, all of which had been stolen, the chests ha . ving been identified. In the beg with the sugar he found a chisel, a saw, and a long piece of iron buried iu the sugar. lie saw a large quantity of copper money in the back shop in a open box, and some silver lying on the counter, but ho could not say that I3olchatn gave either of the prisoners any money. There was something which he thought was money pass between the prisoners, but when Belcham saw him he drew his hand back. lle had watched Belcharn's shop for a long time, but until the present occasion ho had been unable to prove any case of robbery against him. Police Sergeant Matthews 6 F corroborated the evidence of Ackrell with respect to the prisoner Bolcham's receiving the two bags containing the stolen sugar. When ho (wit ness) entered the shop La saw Belcham withdraw his hand from Platts, but he could not say whether there was any thing in it or not. Nothing was found on Platts when searched at the statton. He assisted in the search of Bel cham's premises, and in a large box in the back cellar he found a large box which Belcham told him only contained empty bottles, but on examining it he found the bottles contained wine. Morris, 173, said he had made a further search of Bel cham's premises, and found concealed under a quantity of rubbish ono largo flour-barrel full of tea; in another part of the shop three caddies of tea which had been identified as stolen property. He found also 20 bottles of champagne in the cellar, and in an adjoining one he found 30 bottles of port and 11 bottles of claret, some of which have been identified. Mr. Richard Lewis, of Warwick-street, Pimlico, groper, said the last hogshead of sugar delivered by Morris was 2 cwt. deficient of the weight mentioned in the invoice, It was weighed in consequence of a communication from Messrs. Seward. Austin Turner, assistant to Pratt and Son's, Lupus street, Pimlico, said Morris delivered a hogshead of sugar at their premises, from Seward's cart, which was 1 cwt. 1 quarter, and 131 b. short of the proper weight. William Caplin, licensed carrier, of 113, Fenchurch - street, said—One day last weok he was engaged to remove a quantity of boxes of tea from Boal's Wharf to Hatton garden, which, having been received, his man came back and told him he had been robbed of the horse, the cart, and all the tea. He could not produce the man, as he had since the robbery left his employment. One of the assistants from the house to which the tea was to be conveyed in Hatton-garden identified one of the empty chests found in Beicham's shop as one of those which ought to have been delivered at their premises from Bears wharf. The case with respect to the tea was very incomplete, and the magistrate decided to remand the case for a week. Mr. Lewis, who appeared for Bolcham, applied that his client might be admitted to bail. He was a most respect able man, and he was prepared with bail to any amount. The caso was remanded, four sureties in £250 each being accepted for the appearance of Belcham. MARLBOROUII-STREET. A " Kiss IN THE RING" IN HYDE PARK.—Alfred a young man, was charged with attempting to steal a watch of the value of £2, the property of another young man named James Warren, residing in Bloomfield-street, City. The Prosecutor said—There was a "kiss iu the ring" in Hyde Park yesterday afternoon, and while looking on in the crowd the prisoner, who was behind me, took hold of my watch and chain, and tried to get my watch. I said, " What game do you call this, old man ?" and the prisoner replied, " What game—did I tread on your toes ?" I withdrew from the crowd, and the prisoner withdrew also, and came up to me again and said, "Did I tread on your toes ?" I said, "All right, that will do," and afterwards gave him into custody. The Prisoner—l am innocent. I might have pushed against him, but with no intention of stealing his watch. A constable said—l was in Hyde-park yesterday even ing, and prosecutor said that some one had attempted to steal his watch, and he pointed out the prisoner as one of them. On telling the prisoner the !charge, he said, " Lord save your soul I never saw the man before." The pri soner gave his address in Wentworth-street, Whitechapel. The prisoner—lt's the first time I have boon in trouble, I can assure your worship. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner to give the police an opportunity of seeing if ho was known. SHAMEFUL CRUELTY TO A HORSE.—John Hayter, a car man, living in William-street, Lambeth, was charged be fore Mr. Knox, by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with working a horse while in a totally unfit condition. Joseph Dobio, officer of the society, proved seeing the defendant driving a horse attached to a cart laden with iron pipes, and on examining it he fount two large wounds on its shoulders, blackened over to hide them from public view, and the saddle pressing into them. There were several other wounds about the horse, one of them discharging. The horse was brought to the rear of the court for the magistrate's inspection, and it certainly was in a most wretched condition. Mr. Knox took the defendant's recognisance to appear again, and ordered the horse to be taken to the green yard, and the defendant's employer to be summoned by the officer of the society. THAMES. THE QUEEN OF THE TERMAGANTS.—Catherine Madden, a stout able-bodied woman, was charged with being re fractory and assaulting William Folo, the porter of the workhouse of St. George-in-the-East. The prisoner is an ill-conditioned, violent, and foul mouthed woman, and has been an inmate of St. George's workhouse for some time. She has occasionally broken out into fierce paroxysms of anger, used threats to the in mates and officers, and disturbed the arrangements of the place. She has given birth to an illegitimate child in the workhouse, and cannot find the father of it. She was once committed to prison for a short time for refractory conduct, and when she came out of prison was re-admitted into the workhouse and became worse than ever. Yesterday she was making a great noise and using very ba,d language. She was ordered.to be removed to the refractory ward, and that task was entrusted to Folo. Her rage was ungovernable ; she raved, swore, and used the most odious epithets and language towards him. She kicked him several times, and when he seized her and made an attempt to remove her, she resisted with great energy and determination. Thomas, the labour master, went to the assistance of Folo, and she attempted to bite them. The porter declared that she was the Queen of the Termagants, and the most troublesome woman he ever had to deal with. The prisoner, in defence, abused Folo and Thomas, and said she was pulled all to pieces. The officers denied using more force than was necessary to secure her. The magistrate said the prisoner ought to be out of the workhouse, and obtaining her own living. Ile sentenced her to be imprisoned for two months, and kept to hard labour. As her child was at the breast, she would be allowed to take it to prison with her. THE USE OF THE KNlFE.—Charles Babbe, aged 27, of No. 1, Twine-court, Shadwell, was charged with cutting and wounding Ellen Santry, an Irishwoman of the same place. The complainant and her sister, both frail and disorderly women, were quarrelling, and the prisoner and another man, known by the soubriqu e t of "Scotty," who has ab sconded, the paramour of the two women, interfered and joined in the quarrel. Scotty armed himself with a poker, and the prisoner brandished a huge knife. A disgraceful fight took place in one of the most infamous houses in Shadwell. The prisoner used the knife, and cut Ellen Santry's arm with it. She received a very had wound, and bled copiously. Her sister, Kate Santry, swore that " Scotty" inflicted the wound, and that " Charley, ,, the prisoner, struok him afterwards. Mr. Paget said the prisoner was the only person who had a knife in this unseemly quarrel, and that when a knife was used in any quarrel it was necessary to punish the offender with great severity. He came to the conclusion the prisoner cut the woman with the knife, and ho should convict him of an aggravated assault, and sentence him to 4 months' imprisonment and hard labour. Prisoner—Make it a fine, if you please. Mr. Paget—No, I never inflict a fine for violent assaults 4 months' imprisonment, nothing less.

SEARCH OF PASSENGERS' BAGGAGE FROM FRANCE. —The following is the plan that has been sanctioned by the Lords Commissioners in dealing with the baggage of passengers arriving in England from France during the Paris Exhibition :—All tho registered baggage to be sorted under their registered numbers, and one of each number placed on the counter. When the baggage is sorted, and and previously to the admission of the passengers, the Sur veyor of Customs will elect, at the entire discretion, such register number as he thinks fit for the usual examination, placing an officer at the counter, against the packages bear ing such number. All the passengers to be admitted toge ther. Those whose numbers are not selected for opening will at once obtain their packages, on producing to the officer their baggage tickets, which will be initialled by the officer on their stating to him that their packages contain no goods liable to duty. Those whose numbers are selected will not be detained many minutes (unless they have duty to pay on cigars or spirits), as the staff of officers will be proportionate to the number of packages to be examined. WILLS AND BEQUESTS. (From the Illustrated London Ne2s.) The will of Miss Elizabeth Wickins, of the Cathedral-close, New Sarum, Wilts, was proved in London, April 4, by the executors, Charles 11. Rad cliffe, Elliot Morris, and Samuel Heathcott, Esqs. The personalty was sworn under £45,000. The will is dated Aug. 5, 1847, and there are seven codicils, the last dated Aug. 12, 1866. The testatrix died Dec. 19 following, at the Close, Salisbury, aged 78. The will is of considerable length, and the legacies are numerow. There are many bequests in connec tion with the cathedral. It was her desire that the anthem, " Call to Remembrance," should be per formed at the choir on the Sunday after her funeral. Legacies are left to most of the officials engaged in the services, including the organist, lay vicars, and choir, down to the organ blower and bell ringer.

Gilpin, Esq., of Palewell Lodge, East Sheen, Surrey, treasurer of Christ's Hospital, was proved in London, on the Ist inst., by Samuel Fisher, Esq., of Merchant Taylors' Hall, and Samuel Timbrell Fisher, Esq., of Threadneedle-street, the executors and trustees. The personalty was sworn under £45,000. The will bears date Dec. 20, 1866, and the testator died Feb. 28 following, at his resi dence in Christ's Hospital. His will commences by leaving legacies to his late wife's family, in fulfil ment of his promise to her. He bequeaths to his widow, to whoni he was but recently married, a legacy of £3,000, together with other bequests. He leaves to his daughter Jemima Weatherby, beyond all other legacies, the interest of £20,000, and at her decease the principal is to be divided amongst her children. To his sister, Marian Gilpin, he leaves an annuity of £lOO. There are legacies to his execu tors and to many of his relatives and friends. To his nephew and godson, Norcliffe Gilpin, he leaves his estate and residence at East Sheen, and appoints him residuary legatee.

When O'Brien heard the sentence read, followed with the stern " Strip, sir 1" of the commanding officer, he made but one remark as he began to take off his clothes : " I would far rather they shot me. I am now a disgraced man for ever." In a moment he was naked to the waist, tied firmly to the triangles, and here began the brutally disgusting scene which so many of us have witnessed in the olden time, and the bad remnant of which so many hon. members of Parliament, and so many gallant but thick headed officers of the army, are doing their utmost to retain. I will not describe what a punishment parade was in the days when 300 lashes could be administered. Standing by the triangles, as is the invariable rule, was th e sur geon of the regiment, in order to see that beyond what the culprit could bear, without material injury to his health, not a single lash was inflicted. Four or five times the man asked for water, on the ground that he felt faint ; and the drum-major had always the tin-pot ready to give him. lie took his whole punishment-300 lashes laid on with the regulation " cat of nine tails," the flogger being changed at every 25 strokes. He was then untied, and, a great-coat being thrown over his bleeding back, he was taken to the regi mental hospital to undergo medical treatment. In three weeks or so he was clear of the doctor's hands, and rejoined his company. Previous to his punish ment he had been one of the smartest and soberest men in the regiment, but he now became the very reverse. The colour -sergeant of his com pany told me that before he was flogged he hardly ever tasted a glass of spirits, but that afterwards he was hardly ever sober. He always declared that he had been condemned on false evidence, but he never was heard to say who was the real culprit. From being often drunk when off duty he gradually got such a mania for liquor that he was reported more than once drunk for guard, and, being insolent on one occasion to the corporal who reported him, was tried by a regimental court-martial, and sentenced to receive 150 lashes, which were duly administered. To make a long story short, I watched the man forsome time, and more than once attempted to give him a little advice, though, unfortunately, in the English service the most ordinary intercourse or conversation between officer and soldier is strictly against the spirit, if not the letter, of the law. But whenever I remonstrated with him I got the same reply, " I am a disgraced man now, sir. I never can hold up my head again, and the sooner 1 drink myself dead the better." For some time, having been on leave of absence at Simla, and not belonging to the same company as O'Brien, I lost sight of him, until, as orderly officer, going my rounds in the hospital, I recogn i se d him in one of the sick beds. I stopped and spoke to him. He told me he had been sent to hospital for delirium tremens, brought on by hard drinking, to which was added a bad attack of brain fever, caused by exposure to the sun for several hours when helplessly drunk in a native village, whither he had gone to buy the cheap spirits which are sold by the Hindoos in the neighbour hood of all English stations--" bazaar liquor," as it is called in India. The man seemed very weak indeed, as well as dreadfully emaciated in appear , ance, and the hospital sergeant told me that the surgeon did not believe he would ever leave the ward alive. The prophecy was too true. In less than a week after I had seen him an order appeared in the regimental order-book intimating that he was dead.—Dickens's " 411 the Year Round." Theatrical Prospects for Easter. The same respect is hardly paid nowadays to Easter by theatrical managers that used to be paid in the olden time. Burlesques and extravaganzas were wont to be reserved expressly for the season after Passion Week, just as pantomimes were kept particularly for Christmas. The season is now out of joint, and commands no especial regard. In but few theatres notes of preparation are sounding for some production about to honour the holidays in a marked degree. The manager at Drury Lane is un doubtedly eager with his new drama, "The Great City ;" but Mr. Chatterton's new offering in volves no honour to Easter ; it exposes no holi day specialty ; it has no seasonable inference ; it might as well have been brought out in the dog-days, in the autumn, in the period pre ceding Christmas. As a drama abstractedly consi dered, we hear from many quarters the best ac counts of the Drury-lane piece. Mr. F. B. Chat terton, an excellent judge and of large experience, confidently reckons on a great success that will carry him on triumphantly to the end of the season. Everything is being done for the new play that could possibly conduce to success and a prosperous career. We know what Mr. Chatterton has effected for " Macbeth," "King John," " Faust," and other works. Why should he not carry his energies, his experience, his liberality, his judgment into an original production ? Of Mr. Halliday's drama we know nothing. It is a tale of London life, and that the name tells us. We shall have much to say of the new play at Drury-lane on Monday night. The HAYMARKET THEATRE has provided itself with a new piece for Easter, if not exactly a new Easter piece. The distinction is patent. The new piece is entitled " A Wild Goose," and has been written with an eye to Mr. Sothern's peculiar talents. Of course there is a part for Mr. Buckstone, as there should be in every play in which Mr. Sothern appears. It is unpardonable to separate two such actors. We have no idea to what the new piece relates, or on what it is founded. The first per formance had been announced for to-night, but the bills inform us that the continued success of Mrs. Scott Siddons, the new stage enchantress, in the character of Rosalind in " As You Like it," neces sitated engaging her for three nights more, which entailed the putting off of the new drama till Wed nesday. The LYCEUM THEATRE is satisfied with the large amount of patronage bestowed on " The Duke's Motto," with its strong cast (Mr. Fechter principal), its stirring scenes, its powerful incidents, its excit ing denouement, and makes no new sign dramati cally. A new divertissement, however, is announced to follow " The Duke's Motto" on Monday. It is entitled " The Satyr," and will be supported by the well-known Spanish dancer, M. Espinosa, his first appearance in London these five years, Mdlle. Sophie, and the ladies of the corps de ballet. The NEW HOLBORN THEATRE is precisely in the same predicament with the Lyceum, if predicament it may be called where there is nothing to fear. Mr. Boucicault's racing drama is likely to run out this year's Derby, if indeed it do not spin on to the Doncaster St. Leger in September. The drama of " Flying Scud" has surp. ssed the expectations of author, manager, actors, and public. Its success at this moment indicates no falling off from the first week of its production. At the STRAND THEATRE the Easter attraction will be a new and original classical extravaganza, written by Mr. William Brough, entitled "Pygma lion ; or, the Statue Fair." The story of the piece having been told to ourselves, may be told to our readers-- -Pygmalion, the celebrated sculptor, having conceived an aversion to the female sex, has sworn never to fall in love. This determination angers Venus. She commands her son Cupid instantly to make Pygmalion fall in love, which task Cupid fulfils by wounding the sculptor while asleep with a charmed arrow, that has the paver of making him fall in love with the first female form that meets his eyes when he awakes. The first female form he sees is that of a beauteous marble statue he is at work upon, and with this statue, in obedience to the spell, falls in love at once, though knowing well the exquisite creature is but stone of his own cutting. The burlesque abounds with songs, dances, farcical situations, &c. The: scenery is by Mr. C. Fenton, and the music composed and arranged by Mr. Frank Musgrave. At the OLYMPIC THEATRE Easter is intended to be honoured by the production of a grand new my thological burlesque, by Mr. F. C. Burnand, en titled "Olympic Games," with new scenery, dresses, &c. In consequence of the great success of " The Liar," with Mr. Charles Mathews as Jack Wilding, ' the new comedy is for the present postponed. The ADELPIII TIIEATRE makes the usual concessions to the holiday period. On Easter Monday will be produced a new and original musical drama, in one act, called " Garibaldi in Sicily," the music from the combined forces of Messrs. J. L. Hatton and J. G. Callcott, in which the popular songstress Miss Constance Roden will appear. We may state en passant that Mr. J. Clarke, of the Prince of Wales's Theatre, will make his first appearance this.evening in a new farce, entitled " A Fretful Porcupine." The PRINCE OF WALES'S TIIEATRE and the NEW ROYALTY THEATRE both abide by the performances which have already engaged and enchained public attention. The former rests satisfied with the new comedy of " Caste" and the farce of a 66 Quiet Family ;" the latter cries content with the success ful drama of " Meg's Diversion" and " The Latest Edition of Black-Eyed Susan." SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE opens this evening for the summer season, under the management of I,lr. W. H. Swanborou g h, with the popular drama of " Rip Van W inkle, a Grand Fairy Ballet, and the celebrated Strand burlesque of Aladdin ; or, the Wonderful Scamp." The SURREY THEATRE reopens this evening, with the highly successful drama of " 'rime and Tide." MARKET S.—This day. COVENT GARDEN.

KaLLEY.—On behalf of Chambers, Mr Blakey deposited the fourth required sum of £25 yester day, making now down £lOO a-side for this important contest. As was expected, Chambers' new boat, from the shed of Messrs. Clasper, - Bain, and Clasper, ar rived per steamer on the Tyne yesterday. After breakfast Chambers took a preliminary canter, to test her capabilities, and so satisfied was he that all was right, that in the afternoon he took a spin from the boathouse to the High Level Bridge, and thence to the Meadows house to his training quarters. The skiff is of the usual dimensions, but her bearanees are so placed that she carries the champion without a fault; and although the:water was "lumpy" Chambers tipped the waves in a manner that betokens hard work is his forte. Kelley's colours have arrived and reflect great credit on hig taste. The handkerchief is of immense dimensions, white in the centre. A broad blue border encircles it, and each corner is set with an elegant device of a rose. Chambers's colours as yet have not arrived, but in the meantime Kelley's colours can be seen at Messrs. Baird's and Blakey's. No betting. Chambers took good exercise on the river yesterday, and his remarkably good condition inspires his friends with great hopes of success. His present weight is nearly 12 stone, but as his iron constitution will admit of any amount of work, there is no doubt, if all goes right with him, somewhere about list 81b will be his weight on the day of the raco. Lately he has been practising in the Ade laide skiff, and a boat built expressly for him by H. Clasper, but J. H. Clasper and R. Bain, of London, have built him another, which will arrive in the Tyno on Monday. From a private source yesterday we hear that Kelley is quite up to the mark, and equally confident. He will probably row in a new boat by Jewett, and, if all keeps right, in a week he will take his airings on the Tyne. Taylor is all that can be required. He occasionally takes spins with the champion, and both are located at Mr. Brown's hotel, Blenheim House, under the superintendence of Mr. 31oftit. Young Chambers seems determined not to lose a point, and takes his daily exercise from Percy's boat-house. Bright also does not neglect to use his utmost exertions. He is occasionally attended by Mr. J. Hall, and may generally be seen to put off on his trials from his trainer's boat-house, Elswick. There are several other matches made of minor importance, which we will notice in duo time, and everything augurs well for a busy and successful season, not only for boat rowers, but also for boat builders. Clasper has as much work as will servo him for some time, and Jewett has plenty of orders, and James Hall has satisfied the clubs so much that, independent of putting the T.A.R.C. and the Albion boats in -working order, the former • club are going to augment their number by four boats, arid the latter by two boats, the whole to be from the shed of this enterprising builder and repairer. Percy is also not behind hand, and every day the hammer is heard in his shed either building new boats or repairing others for actual use. Cooper's match with Sadler is now definitely settled to come off on the Thames on the 22d of June, consequently the Redheugh hero will soon be up and doing. Percy is still takin his breathings on the Wansbeck, but will soon resume His doings on the Tyne early next week. J. SADLER AND R. coPER—The following are the articles of this great match. It will be see that the race is fixed to take place on the Thames on Saturday, June 22 : "Articles of agreement dated this day Wednesday, April 3, 1867, between Joseph Sadler, of Putney, and Robert Cooper, of Newcastle, who hereby agree to row a right away scullers' race, from putney to Mortlake (the champion course), on Saturday, June 22, 1867, for £2OO a-side, Cooper to receive £2O for expenses to row on the Thames. The first deposit of .£5O a-side now made ; the second deposit of .£5O a-side to be made on the 13th of May to the editor of the Sportsman, who is to be final stakeholder ; and the last deposit of £lOO a-sids to be made on the 17th of June. The referee to be named the week before the race. The match to be rowed according to the recognised laws of boat racing. The men to be at their stations one hour before high water, and the cutters accompanying the race to keep astern of the sternmost man. Either party failing to comply with conditions to forfeit the money down. In the event of Mr. C. Bush naming R. Cooper as the Unknown for the previous match with Sadler, this match to be off.—(Signed) Charles Bush for R. Cooper. (Signed) Wm. D. Foster for Sadler. Witness, G. Drewitt." The boat in which Sadler is to row Cooper, and also "The Unknown,' has just been finished by the celebrated boat building firm of Clasper, Bain, and Clasper, Lambeth and Westminster. We understand the above firm have also just completed a very nice specimen of the outrigger, in which hickey, of Australia, is to row against the renowned Green for tho championship of that colony. She is 31 feet 11 inches in length ; beam, 11 inches, and weighs 221bs. The boat will leave Lambeth for her destination on Wed nesday next. THE SALMON FISHERIES. It was stated in the newspapers a few days ago that the proprietors of fixed engines for the cap ture of Salmon on the Scotch side of the Solway Firth had received summonses to attend the in quiry held at Carlisle by the Special Salmon Fisheries Commission, and support their claims ; but that, subsequently, intimation had been sent to the proprietors that their presence would not be required at Carlisle. In the course of the in quiry held in that city duri n g the past week the question of the jurisdiction of the English Fishery Commissioners over the stake nets in the Solway on Scottish territory was raised, and on Thursday the Chief Commissioner (Mr. Paterson) gave judgment upon the point; which is one of considerable im portance as affecting a vast quantity of fixed engines. He said :—" The present state of the law seems to be this. The rivers on both sides of the Solway and the Solway itself were up to 1861 regulated by the Solway Fisheries Act which passed in 1801. In 1861 the English Salmon Fisheries Act repealed the Solway Act as, to the English side and so far as respects salmon; and the effect of that was to put the English side of the Solway on the same footing as the rest of Eng land. Then the Scotch Salmon Fisheries Act of 1832, section 33, without repealing the Solway Act in other respects, applied the English Act to the Scotch side, so far as its provisions relate to the use of fixed engines. Now, that is to be read as relating only to the future use of such fixed engines as may have been legal before that date, as well as the future use of fixed engines to be set up for the first time after that date. But there was nothing in the Scotch Act of 1862 to the effect that English law would in any manner determine the legality of the fixed engines previously in use on the Scotch side, or that the Scotch law on that subject was abrogated or re pealed. Then came the English Act of 1865, which gave the commissioners jurisdiction to inquire into the legality of all fixed engines throughout the limits of the previous English Act of 1861—that is to say, throughout England. No jurisdiction was expressly given to inquire into the legality of any engine situated in Scotland, and the appeal was only to the English Courts of Westminster. It is true that the English Act of 1866 contained also an enactment (section 63) that the river Esk with its tributaries shall be deemed to be within the limits of the English Acts of 1861 and 1865. Now, the Esk is only a Scotch river near its source, after which it becomes entirely English, and it does not again become Scotch except for about five miles on one side—namely, from where it passes the Sark till it joins the Eden. But the above enactment (the 63d section) of the English Act of 1865 only im ports the English law into the Scotch parts of the Esk so far as relates to such offences as may be committed with respect to salmon, to trout, and such matters. It does not import into Scotland either the English.law relating to the legality of the fixed engines, or the jurisdiction of the English commissioners, who were to decide that legality. And this construction of the Acts is confirmed by the important circumstance that there is no provi sion for any appeal from the commissioners' decision to,any court except an English court. Now, if power had been given to the English commissioners to try the legality of engines situated in Scotland, it is obvious that they must necessarily have applied Scotch law only to that question. But in that case also an appeal would naturally have been made to Court of Session in Scotland, and not to the English courts at Westmiuster,whereas there is no such pro vision. For these reasons we have no doubt that the late statutes have not conferred upon u s the power to decide the legality of any fixed engines for catching salmon, which are situated in Scotland. As this state of things, however, may lead to most ano malous results, and create a just grievance. on the English side of the Solway, all we can do is I T re port the the circumstance with our opinion. to the o Secretary, who may for greater ce.rtiaoinntoyfptrohbealballyy consider it proper to take the opinion C o :, lffi o i c u e n r i s is o s i f o coops a ex d eep ‘N t 'a t r h yr e . iek- hall the ners Crown no o l n v tcloiencwluhdoelde theirsub subject." inquiryt . at Carlisle, but they ha ve reserved till next mouth tthheeirridveecriEsiodnens uaptoucoarllbtyheccases and which they have pronounced legal, ordering, how ever, some slight alterat i ons to be made in them t o facilato the passage of salmon.

Some startling changes took place . ; Hermit, who was reported to have been scratched for the " Guineas " during the morning, receded to almost any price, and was equally friendless for the Derby. Plaudit was in immense demand, but Julius appeared out of favour. Marksman was in good request, and Vauban was supported, but appeared more in favour for a place. The Derby movements were not remarkable, but for the Chester Cup some striking changes tookplace. Archimedes, said to have broken down, was " knocked mitt," and 50 to 1 would not tempt a customer. Bracken also, to day, was friendless at 50 to 1. There were com missions out in favour of both Lucifer and Tor mentor, who were each in demand, and Harrogate was supported in good quarters.

Yesterday afternoon, it being understood that a Reform meeting was to be held in Hyde Park, for the purpose of protesting against the bill now before Parliament, some few working men, apparently in their best garments, assembled round a tree which was not far from the Marble Arch. A real silk flag was then displayed and directions given to some men connected with the meeting to parade the park and bring in the stragglers before proceedings com menced. This party started with a tail composed of about 30 men and boys, and returned with none. This so disconcerted what perhaps in courtesy should be called the committee that they indulged in some very uncomplimentary expressions to the members of the flag procession. At last the proceedings com menced with between 200 and 300 present, more than half of whom were evidently attracted through mere curiosity. A Mr. Henwood was voted in the chair, and in moving the first resolution he stated that their platform was that of the Reform League. He also advocated the right of the people to meet in the parks, and said the people meant to meet peace ably, and not be driven into rebellion, as the Tories wished to drive them. A Mr. Longmead then moved the first resolution—" That the parks aro the people's, and we hereby claim the use of than o for the purpose of discussing ou r p ublic wrongs. This having been seconded by a Mr. Glegg, was carried unanimously. A Mr. AP Gregor then pro posed the following reso lution :—‘ Th a t the pro butm an insult posed Reform Bill is no t only a sha , w e will not to the Iworking men of England, .and j c u eas st e r i t g o h tagitates., Thisuntil was w , e al have so p.olb e a d n o d u_ t r h full eaentd ui v i z , a N n v h d i e t h h e lasted l e t q w u e l e n t t l y y - fi d v .. s o p er se d . minutes, ---=-- ITING INrELLIGENCE.
