DEATH OE THE EARL OF CLARENDON. We r,lret to state that the Earl of Clarendon died this morning at 20 minutes past six o'clock. The noble earl was upwards of seventy years of age, having been born on the 26th of January, 1800. It is thought that his successor at the Foreign Office will probably be Sir Henry Bulwer, one of the first of our diplo matists. LITERATURE Acquitted : a novel. By Mrs. Gordon Smythies, author of "Cousin Geoffrey." 3 vols. Tinsley Brothers. This is one of the most attractive novels we have yet seen from the pen of the accomplished author of " Cousin Geoffrey." The opening scene, in a poor fisherman's cottage, is very effectively described. There, amid the roaring of the tempest without, poor Nat Lynn and his wife are weeping over the death of their little first born. Very tenderly and naturally is the little homescene depicted, what follows is of a more romantic character. The poor fisherman at last tears himself away from the sorrowing mother, and going along the beach almost im mediately after, discovers portions of a wreck cast ashore by , the storm, and a little child still retaining signs of life. He takes the motherless child to the child less mother, and with joy and gratitude the little stranger is adopted in the fisherman's cot. We do not propose to reveal the mysterious history of the supposed Mary Lynn : it can not but prove attractive to the lovers of romance. Mrs. Gordon Smythies, however, does not rely upon the sen sational element (of which the terrrible Dan Devrill is a fitting representative). The story of " Acquitted" has higher claims to our attention. We cannot more accurately explain the purpose of the book and the meaning of the title than by giving the interpretation in the words of the writer. " Without venturing," observes Mrs. Gordon Smythies, in the closing pages of her story, "to dwell long in a novel on that Highest Court, at whose bar we shall all be one day judged, and from which there can be no appeal, we, in justification of our title, venture to remind. our readers that, even as far as this life is concerned, we are, from our childh3od to our graves, on trial before two counts—the inner one of conscience (that solemn secret tribunal, from the verdict of which none can escape) and the public one which, whether we call it opinion," society,' or the world,' is all-im portant to the many, and is really disregarded by none." Paul Penrhyn, the impoverished master of Penrhyn Manor, a well-meaning, weak-minded man, who oan never say " No, " is over-persuaded by the arti fices of one Sligo Downy into embarking a sum of trust money in a bubble speculation. The unfortunate trustee is heart-broken at the failure of the enterprise, but happily the secret becomes known to his young son Paul, who, abandoning all ambitious dreams, takes a post in a merchant's office, and devotes himself to the repayment of his father's debt ere the defalcation shall be come known. How he struggles and how he succeeds we shall not say; the story is full of interest and is very forcibly told, and it is a happy day when the poor father by the self-sacrificing exertions of his noble-minded son finds himself " acquitted" of the crime in which his culpable weakness had involved him. Contrasted with the eager active career of the enterprising Paul Penrhyn, the touching story of the youthful Jasper Ardennes, slowly sinking into an untimely grave will be read with a melancholy interest. It is depicted by one who, as the very touching dedication to Dr. Hastings reveals to us, has experienced all the agony of hopes and fears that wring the hearts of those who watch the fading away of the victims of that deadly, and so often to the very last delu sive disease, consumption. The death scene of the gentle Jasper Ardennes,which softens even his iniquitous father, will be perused with especial interest. " Acquitted " may certainly be regarded as the best novel from the pen of the author of "_Cousin Geoffrey." Eastern Pilgrims : the Travels of Three Ladies. By Agnes Smith. Hurst and Blackett. This very interesting book records the travels of three adventurous ladies, who journey to the East unaccom panied by friend or brother, unattended even by courier or maid. The three ladies, however, prove themselves equal to the occasion. They agree at the outset to a division of labour. " Violet makes herself responsible forthe management of hotels, and for the direction of the party in general ; Edith examines the accounts ; Agnes studies the guide book and sketches routes for the approval of her com panions." Thus prepared they depart from Lon don on a dull morning of August 1868, and proceed via Ostend to Munich, thence to Con stantinople, Cyprus, Alexandria, Asouan, Cairo, and Jerusalem. They visit many places of interest in the Holy Land, tarrying by the Jordan and the Dead Sea, and return by Damascus to Greece, admire the Bay of Salamis, pause by the field of Marathon, and finally return by Venice and Corfu, vic2 Basle and Paris, to London. From this brief sketch of the route it will be seen that the travels of the three fair pilgrims are not deficient in the materials of interest. Every little incident likely to amuse the reader, even chance conver sations that illustrate the manners and customs of the various people with whom they mingle, are set down by the lively pen of the fair chroni cler, Agnes Smith. One peculiarity of these Pilgrims is somewhat remarkable. They let us know in every word and look that in their travels they aspire not to learn, but to teach. We must confess that at the outset we were not prepossessed by the idea of a journey to Jeru salem in company with a traveller who could exclaim about those who are eager to go to the Holy Land, "As we were not taught in our youth to worship any particular spot of earth, we can hardly understand what benefit they expect to derive from visiting it." On arriving at Jerusa lem, however, different sentiments prevail, notwithstand ing the critical spirit with which every detail is investi gated. A Journey to Rome and Back. By William Evill. One vol.. pp. 164. Edward Stanford. As a well-looking fellow-mortal is said to carry a letter of recommendation in his face, so might it be said, in regard to this daintily-apparelled volume, that it entices the reader to dip into it from the mere allurement of its external appearance. We have yielded to the temptation, and have found the author a very delightful and exhilarating eompanion. The title of the work grows upon us from the lettering on the back when examined edgeways—the designation of the book there, being simply as we have given it above, viz., " A Journey to Rome and Back." Turning tolit, as it is elegantly expanded upon the upper side of the volume when displayed to view as a table book, we read the additional words " With an account of the Opening of the (Ecumenical Council." While, still further, on looking to the title-page, we read yet more, as follow :—" And glances at Milan, Florence, Naples, Pompeii, and Venice." Enough, surely ! But it cannot be said—enough and to spare ! For having readthe book through from cover to cover—of itself an eulogium from any reviewer—we could certainly not spare Mr. Evill's always animated, oftengraphic, and more than once or twice really eloquent descriptions (among others) of the Cathedral at Milan, of the galleries at Florence, of the grand piazza at Naples, of the ghostly, silent ruins at Pom peii, and of the gliding gondola-life and the gorgeous art treasures at Venice. Any more than we could spare his account of the wonderful pageantry of the papal functions in Rome and of the marvellous masterpieces in sculpture and painting scattered among her palaces and basilicas. The author at once puts himself upon the best possible terms with his readers in the very opening passages in which, with a good deal of quiet humour, he describes the discomforts attendant upon his journey's commencement. He has an intense appreciation of the ludicrous, and an instant eye for its detection. His description of the clock at Strasbourg, his account of the Yankee who had gone " right along" by Mount Ceniss (Mr. Evil himself having crossed the Alpine barrier of North Italy by the glorious Splugen, which he very finely describes), his record of the dilemma in which he found himself near the Mala, seated among his luggage, somewhere in the middle of Europe, and in the blackness of midnight, these and a variety of other incidental sketches, touched off with a flying pen, one cannot possibly read with out being , interrupted every now and then with a burst of laughter. The vis comics is the "go" or chic of the whole narrative. Yet, for all that, the finest passages in the hook are those where our author is at his gravest. His casual de scription of the catacombs, for example, is, in a mere page or two, singularly impressive. Sunset on the Lake of Como, the white marble glories of Milan Cathedral, the pano ramic view of the Alps, with which he was favou red from the summit of that exquisite edifice, the dream-like life of decaying Venice, the awful spectral ruins of Pompeii, the sumptuous magnificence of St. Peter's, of St. Paul Without the Walls, of St. John Lateran, and of the other grand basilicas, the solemnizing grandeur of the Coliseum —these and kindred themes the author of this radiant little book expatiates upon in words expressive of enthusiastic, but most appreciative admiration. With many of the most vitally important conclusions he arrives at, we have no sympathy whatever. But we regard the evident sincerity of his own convictions with the profoundest re spect. As a graphic delineator of the superb scenery and the renowned cities through which he made this winter journey during the season of last November and Decem ber, he has acquitted himself admirably well—the style in which the whole book is penned being as fresh and ani mated as the very external look of it seems to give a pro mise of beforehand. THE HUNGARIAN BISHOPS. The Hungarian bishops intend, it is said, to leave Rome immediately on the promulgation of the infallibility dogma. ACCIDENT TO ➢IMR. SHERIFF PATERSON. ---- • About half-past eleven o'clock on Saturday an accident happened to Mr. Sheriff Paterson as he was driving to Windsor. The carriage was proceeding down the hill near Clapham Junction when the horses became unma nageable, and dashed the carriage against a lamp-post. The c oa chman and the footman were _thrown from the vehicle, and were severely contused and cut about the head. Mr. Sheriff Paterson and Mrs. Paterson, who was with him, were got out through the window, escaping Without injury. The handsome state carriage was com pletely wrecked. All William Day's horses were struck out of the Goodwood Stakes after the appearance of the weights. The Medical Times and Gazette regrets to hear that Mr. Syme continues in a very precarious condition • LATEST INTELLIGENCE• THE RECALL OF MR. MOTLEY. The announcement of the recall of Mr. Motley, made in thg Sun on Saturday, has been confirmed. President Grant recently stated that he intended to remove Mr. Motley as soon as a suitable,successor can be found. THE SUN, LONDON, -MON DAY. 4ORNING, JUNE 27, 186'. surance tickets as far as is at present known. There is, however, reason to believe that a great many more tickets were issued, and with the view of ascertaining the extent of and promptly respondingto their liability the company have sent down one of their chief representatives (Mr. W. D. Mossy), who was present during the inquiry. SPIRIT OF IIIE PRESS.—THIS MORNING. THE PEERS AND THE IRISH LAND BILL. The Standard says the Peers may not insist upon every one of their amendments, but they will maintain the principal ones, and the Government and the House of Commons, whether they like it or not, and the Standard believes the majority of the House of Commons will at heart welcome the change, will have to accept them. But the language used by the Government organs, and, the Standard is sorry to add, by some members of the Government, is significant of the temper of the chiefs of the Government and their ex trema followers. It illustrates the tactics by which they gained power and seek to preserve it, and it is a lesson to the House of Lords that it should never attempt to conciliate Radical goodwill by the sacrifice of its inde pendence and convictions. To pretend that the amend ments are against the principle of the bill, or that they will impair its successful working, is absurd; unless those who so pretend will admit that the principle of the bill is the confiscation of the larger portion of the property of the landlords for the benefit of the tenants, and that it will not work well unless the landlord is deprived of all control over his property, made a ward, in fact, of the assistant barristers, and driven to be an absentee. If the bill is an honest attempt to remedy, by exceptional legislation, an exceptional state of things, to secure the tenant, but to injure as little as is possible the landlord, these amendments of the Peers ought to be ungrudgingly accepted. THE LAND BILL. On the whole, the Telegraph is 'rather inclined to regret that the Opposition did hot boldly oppose the second read ing of the bill, instead of mutilating and destroying it piecemeal in committee. As it now stands, it is a worse measure than that proposed by Lord Derby's Government s ome years ago. When the bill is returned to the House of Commons, therefore, the Government will restore it to its original shape in respect of those amendments which are incompatible with its purpose and principle —reinstituting the scale of damages under Clause 3, again enacting the length of lease which shall entitle a landlord to con tract himself out of the penalties inflicted on eviction, declining to accept the irresponsible consent of the land lord as a condition barring the claim of the assignee, and abolishing Lord Salisbury's amendment to narrow the limit of the retrospective penalties. These amendments will all be struck out of the bill by the House of Commons, and what will the Lords have gained by introducing them ? Is it wise to force the great body of the people to the con clusion that it is in vain to expect generosity or pa triotism, or even prudent statesmanship from the House of Lords in any question that bears on the interests and privileges of landed proprietors? THE FATAL MARCH. The Daily News says it is clear that the soldiers of the 9th and 94th Regiments were treated with a cruel indiffer ence, born of stupidity and routine, to their comfort and lives which no man would shew in the case of an animal that he cared f Or, or whose pecuniary value he wished not to depreciate. Benevolent people are doing what they can to put a stop to the barbarities which often mark the transit of cattle by steamship and railway. The sufferings which accompany the transit of soldiers are surely worth as much consideration. THE POLICEMEN'S GRIEVANCE. The Telegraph says the latest police grievance is doubly galling to the force, and irrivating to the public, because it was at first presented under the guise of a reform, and even of a boon. On the issuing of the order which raised the pay of the police, people outside saw for the moment only an admission that there was ground for the com plaints of under-payment, and an implicit promise that further measures would he taken to secure the efficiency of the force by making its members satisfied with their position. When the constables are obliged to give, for the extra shilling in the week, the handsome quid pro quo of a day's service in the fortnight, the "boon" will be clearly seen to be no boon at all, but a positive sacrifice for the men. In truth, the men themselves really did not want the money, which their chiefs have actually forced upon them. They wanted to retain that privilege of one day's rest in the week which is denied to no other branch of the public service and to no class of the community. Thus we find our police authorities in the unenviable position of having driven a hard if not actually an unfair bargain with men who wanted to make no bargain of the kind at all. Can any one be surprised if those on whom the bargain has been forced appeal in such numbers and with such energy from the acts of their rulers to the judgmeut of the public whose servants those rulers are ? THREATENED ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP THE POWDER MAGAZINES AT GIBRALTAR. • A letter from Gibraltar, dated the 20th, says :—" The inhabitants of this city have been in a fearful state of alarm for the last twenty-four hours, and considering how their feelings have recently been rather roughly shaken by the Bonell brigandage, and the attack on the young officers on the Western beach, it is no wonder if public excitement has nearly reached its climax when it finds that even within the fancied security of the Bay side barrier, danger of a terrible type lurks in every direction. It appears that yesterday foreneon, a fisher man coming into town from the New Mole, picked up a letter lying in the road between Jumper's Battery and the Ragged Staff. The letter was written in Spanish, and in dicated in the plainest terms that the power magazines of the rock had either been undermined or were at the mercy of a band of desperadoes, and that very shortly the whole dlace would be would up. This letter was im mediately placed in the hands of the authorities, and every magazine was at once most carefully examined, but nothing was discovered to give rise to any sus picion of foul play ; nevertheless, the most energetic measures were taken to render what was already quite secure if possible more so. As might naturally be ex pected all sorts of rumours have been set afloat, and every idea has been used uy, from mania to Fenianism, to account for the plot. The general impression appears to be that the whole affair is a hoax on the part of some of the lowest class inhabitants to keep up the alarm created by the recent robberies and brigandage in the vicinity." ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SUICIDE. On Saturday afternoon an extraordinary attempt at murder, followed by an attempted suicide, was made by a man named Jermyn, employed to carry coals and do other odd jobs at the Great Seal Patent Office, Southampton buildings, Chancery-lane. Mr. Tomlinson, a clerk at the Patent Office, was taking his lunch in his room, when he received a severe blow upon the head, and on turning round saw Jermyn, who had just previously fetched the luncheon for him, armed with a staff. He immediately closed with him, and received other blows of a serious character. His assailant then escaped by means of the window, and slid down the water-pipe into the yard. He then ran round the premises to a water-closet, where he was discovered bleeding from a sever e wound in the throat, inflicted by a penknife. He was at once removed to King's College Hospital, where he lies in a very pre carious state. Mr. Tomlinson 's injuries were attended to without delay, but they were not of such a serious character as might have been anticipated. seeing that the weapon used, an old special constable's staff, was split in two by the force of the blows. No cause whatever has been assigned for the commission of the act, and it is not believed that any ani mosity existed betwoen Mr. Tomlinsan and Jermyn. it appeaes, however, that Jermyn, some two years ago, received an injury to his head by falling down stairs, and has since been subject to sudden outbursts of iosanity. Jermyn was in 1867 sworn in as a special constable, and he thus obtained the weapon with which he inflicted the injuries upon his victim. The child of Miss Cowan, one of the infants found in the baby-farm at Brixton, has died. A post-mortem examination will be made. The recent reports received from the principal moors in Scotland are (according to Land and Water) of the most cheering description. THE HEAI ON RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—The director have awarded to the engine-driver who bravely pursued the runaway engine and jumped on it at great risk to hhn selt, thus preventing further mischief, a sum of £5O and a silver watch. The guard and stoker who also exerte d themselves meritoriously, are to receive respectively £2O and £lO and a silver watch each. COLUMBUS AS A SAINT.—The beatification of Christopher Columbus, of which there was some talk a few years ago, seems now about to be carried through in good earnest. Pius IX., it is known, is rather partial t o ceremonies of this kind, and the most' ingenious advocatus diaboli can say very little against the Catholic orthodoxy and piety of the discoverer of America. Indeed, Columbus was not only a zealous son of the church, but he devoted his leisure moments to the composition of all sorts of mystical and ascetic tracts. A few miracles are generally considered de rigueur in these cases, but no doubt they will in due time be forthcoming if required. — Boston Advertiser. IRRECONCILABLE.—The irreconeilable spirit which made Red Republicans in Paris, Fenions in England and America, and revolutionists in Italy, appears to be chronic in its outbursts. It has passed from one country to another till it is now reported by cable to be disturb ing the Government of Victor Emmanuel. Whatever be the varieties of motive which urge these various classes of belligerents, it is noticeable that they have a fatal agree ment in choosing the wrong time for their demonstrations. If anything will retard the ultimate acquisition of Rome by the Italian Kingdom, and the consummation of the dreams of her Republicans, it is an attack upon the Government which is rapidly repairing her shattered finances and steadily extending the bases of her liberties. Such an outburst can only strengthen the military power, of which her King is all too fond, and draw tighter the cordon of foreign bayonets which protects Rome.—New York Times. • THE CATASTROPHE AT NEWARK. The Leeds Mercury, in an article on the late terrible railway accident, says it is to be feared that a wholesale system of plundering the dead, and the injured, who were for some time after the accient rendered insensible, was pursued by some infamous persons who were hovering round the scene of this terrible disaster on Tuesday morning. Mr. Thomas Barraclough, manufactyrer; of Morley, authorizes us to state that he witnessed a pohceman take; tvvorings off the fingers of a dead lady who wore a black silk dfer.. ,4 was stated in our columns that Mr. C. A. Wilson, of this th:Vrn • had lost a gold watch. It appears to ha ve been taken out of ss black bag, the lock of which has evidently been tampered with. No further information has yet been obtained as is the large sum of money of which Mr. M. K. Hirst's dead body was'despoiled ; but if these ravages of mangled corpses have been so reckless as we fear is now beyond doubt, it is not so difficult to explain away the fact which, when first mentioned,..ivas rather parplexing, that ladies yet living on recovering consciousness found themselves without their bonnets, boots, and ptirgeg. , Mis. F. Robinson, as has been already stated, had on goireg up journey an insurance ticket. Mr. C. A. Wilson saw it then, but neither that lady's purse nor the ticket httva been found. Mr. Turner, of 40, Fenton-street, states that in the uncertain twilight he saw, while assisting the disabled, a policeman and oie or two others rifling the pockets of a gentleman who had been killed. He heard one of the wreckers " say, " That'll do ; let's get away ;" but he :could not distinguish the nature of the spoil which he feels certain they carried off. RAILNVAY ACCIDENT ACTION FOR DAMGiES; On Saturday, an elderly maiden lady lamed, Reynolds brought an action before Mr. Ju s t ice Brett and a special jury, in the Court of Common Pleas, against the London and South Western Railway Company, for damages sustained at the Wimbledon Station on the evening of the 18th of November, 1868. She was in the act of stepping out of the train when, according to her statement the engine moved slightly forward; and she fell between the train and the platform. The step of the carriage had to, be se:ten away In order to free her, and she was found to have sustained Mich frightful injuries as to haVe preVenited her from bringing an action until the present time. It was said to be a common practice at this station on the part of the drivers, to start away the train before all the passengers had alighted in order to fill the tender at the water-tank. It appeared, however, that the company, had sum moned the plaintiff for leaVing the train while it was in motion, and after repeated adjournments the sum mons was withdrawn. This, it was contended by Seigt. Parry, was only done in order to protect themselves against such an action as the present. Consequently, the jury had to find whether the engine was set away shortly after the train stopped, or the plaintiff had brought about her injuries by leaving the carriage before the train had stopped—either practice being a highly dangerous one. — After consulting for about a . quarter of an hour the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, £5OO damages. RUSSIA IN THE PACIFIC OCEAN: The Russian Government is about to introduce what it calls " great improvements " in the administration of the Russian possessions in the Pacific Ocean, among which the Sakhaline Island occupies a most important place, being the outpost of the Russian possessions at the farthest point of the East. In fact, Russia already holds the whole extent of that island, the southern portion of which contains, however, a few Japanese colonies, which, the Russian Government asserts, have given to the Japanese Government a plea to try and extend its domination beyond the limit fined by the Simoda Treaty. The principal resources of that island are the immense coal fields which the Russian Go vernment intends to be worked by penitentiary colonies, watched over by troops in sufficient number to oppose, meantime, the encroachments of the Japanese. Mean while, new coal fields are daily being discovered, and the Russian government seems to be in fear that their simultaneous working by Russians and Japanese should bring about collisions—the consequences of which canuot be foreseen, because the Japanese are evidently sup ported in their encroachments "by influences" one is surprised to see acting against Russia in those remote countries, where any European power, Russia excepted, cannot have any interest ; therefore, the "influences" above alluded to are moved only by a jealous policy that plays blindly with the real wants of nations. Therefore, the Russian Government has resolved to avoid any complication, o t occupy the whole of the island, and to take hold of it in such a way as to be able to vindicate Russia's right even by force. In that view regular relations are to be established with the continent of those regions, and the military forces established in the Sakhaline Island are to be adequately reinforced. (AREA T ROSE SHOW AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE. The great Rose Show of the season took place on Saturday, at the Crystal Palace, and both with regard to the number and quality of the entries, fully fulfilled the promise of excellence held out at the first exhibition. The rose show at the Crystal Palace can hardly fail to be the great representative of its class in the kingdom, the magnificence of the place, the liberality of the prizes and the variety of the attraction all tending to guarantee the general success. The award of the prizes was completed at mid-day, by which time there wasa large and fashionable assembly to take advan tage of the display. The exhibition stalls were arranged on the platform in front of the Handel Orchestra, and the delicious odour of the flowers, the splendid performance of the band of the Coldstream Guards and the et ceteras afforded a treat the excellence of which must be seen t d o be appreciat ed. The opera room on this occasion divide the interest of the visitors, and may be classed as a branch of the Floral Exhibition. It had been converted into a temporary diningroom, in order toillustrate three different ecorating, a dinner-table, none of which had been styles of d b e f or e exhibited, the effect depending entirely upon the selection and arrangement of the plants and flowers used. The tables were completely furnished for a " Diner h la Russe," and the exotic ferns, plms, and fruits in and about the magnificent specimens of china, glass and other articles have in this class of arrangement rarely if ever been equalled. The prize list was divided into nineteen classes, and among . the successful exhibitors for first prizes were the following :—A truss of roses, 72 varieties, Mr. B. R. Cant, of Colchester. Three trusses, 48 varieties, Messrs. Paul and Son, Cheshunt. Twelve trusses of any new roses, Mr. C. Turner, Royal Nurseries, Slough. Twenty fours, new roses of 1868-9, Mr. J. Keynes. Twelve varieties (amateurs), the Rev. E. M. Pochin, Loughborough. Forty-eight varieties (amateurs), Mr. W. Ingle, Rugby. The exhibitors were successful in many other classes, and for the names of many others deserving of record we must refer to a more detailed list. THE BRISTOL ELEC HON. (By Telegraph.)

Queen Isabella signed her abdication at 2 p.m. on Saturday in favour of the Prince of Asturias. The Spanish Royal Family, several Spanish grandees, and Generals Gassett, Lersundi, andd San !Roman were pre sent. Previous to affixing her signature, Queen Isabella read a farewell manifesto to the Spanish people. The ex- Queen also notified to the Pope her adicatoin in favour of the Prince Asturian, praying his Holiness at the same time to bless the Prince's cause and Spain. THE HEALTH OF THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON. There is no confirmation of the unfavourable rumours on the Bourse respecting the Emperor's health. MM. 011ivier and Chevandier de Valdrome went to St. Cloud yesterday to confer with his Majesty. THE SMALL-PDX TN PARIS. The total deaths in Paris from the 19th to the 25th of June were 1,149, of which 238 were due to small-pox. (CENTRAL PRESS TELEGRAMS.) THE CORK RIOTS. The city was occupied by large bodies of troops and constables on Saturday. Stones were thrown from the tops of houses in Castle-street and Northmain-street, at the police patrols, and a mounted policeman was knocked off his horse. The mob attaoked the house of a Mr. King, a vendor of Scotch and English made boots. The rioters were, however, promptly dispersed by policemen with cudgels, supported by the armed patrols. A few arrests were made. Complaints are made of policemen indis criminately assaulting peaceable citizens. The magis trates on Saturday issued a proclamation prohibiting the intended procession of trades. On Saturday the trades organisation consequently countermanded the proposed demonstration, substituting an open air meeting in the park. In the morning two companies of infantry, two squadrons of cavalry, and a large force of constabulary marched through the city, and were distributed in three districts where crowds were expected to assemble. CORK, Sunday. The open-air demonstration passed off quietly. The speakers insisted upon the justice of the workmen's claim, inveighed against the introduction of foreign operatives, and appealed to the citzens not to deal with those who opposed the working classes. The comparative quietness which prevailed up to eleven o'clock was broken after that hour. An attack was made on the houses of two persons reported to employ non-unionist workmen. The policemen interfering were assailed with stones. They used their bayonets freely, and several persons were wounded. In another collision with the police three men were dangerously injured. In Brunswick-street heavy stones were thrown from the roof of a large drapers' establishment at the police as they passed by at midnight. The patrol forced their way into the house, and arrested nine of the assistants in an upper room. A large pile of bricks, slates, and bottles ready for use as missiles was found in a gutter on the roof. During the disturbance on Saturday night a maned Brien was stabbed through the lung in the charge made to clear the street. This morning a stable belonging to one of the master tailors was set on fire. THE MARCHIONESS 'OF QUEENSBERRY AND IRISH SELF-GOVERNMENT. The Marchioness of Queensberry has sent 25, as a dona tion towards the movement on behalf of Irish Home Go vernment. She says, " I feel grateful to God for thus commencing a work which I shall look to Him to finish, praying Him to draw together yet more and more old heads to guide those engaged in council, with His wisdom and his Spirit, which will enable each member freely and willingly to resign every prejudice, and to cast aside all hindrances for the attainment of the one Divine end, " Union." You have my sympathy and prayers. No one takes a deeper interest in this work, and the attain ment of self-government, than yours faithfully—Caroline, Queensberry." THE ACQUITTAL OF BARRETT. The demonstration which took place when the verdict announcing Barrett's acquittal was given in the Dublin Court of Queen's Bench on Saturday is said to have been only equalled by one previous display of the same kind, namely, that which occurred at the Yelverton trial. The ladies in the galleries waved their handkerchiefs, the crowd cheered vociferously, and wished to chair Mr. Butt, Q.C. When the cab containing Barrett arrived on the Quay, the crowd stopped it, and numbers insisted on shaking hands with him. At Galway the bells of the Abbey . Church were rung for some time. A more general demonstration is expected to take place to-day. IRISH CHURCH SUSTENTATION FUND. The Earl of Erne has subscribed £5,000 towards the Church Sustentation Eund, and has promised to give two per cent. of his income annually to the same object. OUTRAGES AT LIVERPOOL. Frederick Schmidt, a German tailor, residing in Bent street, Liverpool, has been sent to gaol for two months by the Liverpool magistrates for biting off the ear of his fellow lodger, George Henry Williams. Schmidt also threw Williams upon a blazing fire. The outrages were unprovoked, and Schmidt was sober. THE ACCIDENT AT THE CATTE NHAM STEEPLECHASES. On Saturday a case which had been entered for hear ing in the Court of Common Pleas, arising out of the Cattenham Steeplechases, was heard before the arbitra tors, Mr. Bidwell and Mr. Harlock, Mr. Mann being umpire, these gentlemen having been appointed by the court. The accident occurred just at the time of the last race, Mr. Pate, merchant, Ely, cannoning against the horse of Mr. Ambrose farmer, Bottisham. The horse and its rider were overthrown, the latter receiving such severe injuries that he was unable to leave his house for six months, and in addition received apermanent injury to his leg. The medical opinion is that he will never recover his former state of health. The arbitrators awarded him one hundred guineas. Each party to pay his own costs. THE RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT NEWARK INQUEST. The inquest on the bodies of the persons killed in the railway accident at Newark was reopened on Saturday. Charles Sacre, chief engineer of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln Railway Company was subjected to a lengthy examination. He said he believed the waggon of which the axle broke had been rnnning eighteen years. The axle was peculiarly of the best kind of wrought iron. Axles were more likely to fail when new than after years of use. He did not consider after eighteen years of use more than ordinary inspeCtion was required. The intention of the jury to have independent scientific evidence was overruled. The conduct of the police in taking property from the bodies seems likely to call forth great complaints, but the Leeds Mercury report is con sidered unfair and extravagant. It is thought probable that the jury will find a verdict without taking further evidence. NORWICH ELECTION. A telegram from Norwich bears witness to the strong dislike which is felt to Mr. Tillett, the Radical candidate, by both Conservatives and Whigs. It is not improbable that some arrangement will be made for the Conserva tives to support Mr. Warner's candidature, in order that the more extreme candidate may be ejected. A meeting has taken place at which this was discussed, and it is said to have conic to the determination to effect a coalition between the " moderates." THE RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT NEWARK. INQUEST. The inquest on the bodies of the persons killed in the railway accident at Newark was reopened on Saturday morning. Charles Sacre, chief engineer of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln Railway Company, was subjected to a lengthy examination. He said he.believed the waggon of which the axle broke, had been running eighteen years. The axle was peculiarly of the best kind of wrought iron. Axles were more likely to fail when new than after years of use. He did not consider, after eighteen years of use more than ordinary inspection was required. The intention of the jury to have independent scientific evidence was overruled. The conduct of the police in taking property from the bodies seems likely to call forth great complaints ; but the Leeds Mercury report is consi dered unfair and extravagant. It is thought probable that the jury will find a verdict without taking further evidence. The accident will, doubtless, be a very expensive affair for the Railway Passengers Insurance Company. It ap pears that out of the 370 passengers who travelled by the train, no less than eighty provided themselves with in- RAIL WAYS IN JAPAN. ----- A translation of the Japanese petition to their Go vernment, advocating the introduction cif railways, has fately been presented: to the British Parliament; and proves that the exclusive Japanese have a very shrewd idea of how matters :,'tend in the world at large. The continent of Europe, so runs ffi . e petition, excels all the other five continents in enlightenment And in wealth. of mechanical appliances. The reason for this is that Europe is better provided with machinery. " The men of the West have a saying, that if you wish.to learn whether a L'aeen ,is rich or poor, strong or weak, you must fir# ascertain how it is provided with machinery. The invention of the steam engine, and the introduction of more efficient modes of locomotion, have enabled those countries to prCvide every facility for transport, both by land and sea. It is, there fore, not surprising to find them so wealthy And so powerful" It is certainly a remarkable evi dence of progress to find the Japanese, who were supposed to be in a state of semi-barbarism using lan guage like this. The means of communication in Japan are sadly deficient, for the country does not possess navi gable rivers; and as the rate of travelling is only some twenty miles ti diiy, sane of the provinces are a month's journey froiti each other. It takes a fortnight to pass from either of the two capitals, Yeddo and Kioto to the other, although they are connected by the best line of road in the country, and one part of the country may be suffering the greatest distress for want of rice, which another province would gladly give in exchange for its accumulated silk if they had only the means of transport. Sir Harry Parkes, who fully appreciates the drawback which this is to the coun try, has repeatedly discussed with the desira bility of introducing railways and telegraphs with the MilsadQ's Government. The Japanese, who are highly intelligent people, soon became impressed with the justice of his_ views, and resolved to construct a railway between redo and Kioto. Three lines are in con templation, and surveyors and engineers are already at work. Besides these, others are in contemplation, since the stormy nature of the Japa nese seas renders the trade with many ports of the country very irregular. The Japanese are equally eager for the telegraph, and already a line is at work between Yedo and Yokohama. The Philadelphia Ledger says that during the last year the States expenditure for artificial limbs for wounded soldiers amounted to 416,000 dols. Mr. Howes, M;P:, continues rather seriously indis posed. The honourable gentleman is ordered to remain strictly quiet. Perrnission was asked of the Board of Works on Friday to call a new street in Wandsworth by the name of " Lothair." The Board gave the required leave. There is this week a decrease of thirty-three in the number of in-door poor .in Lambeth, as compared with the corresponding weeks of ple last three years.

The annual cricket match betiteen Rugby School and Marlborough College will be played on the Marl borough Ground on Tuesday and Wednesday, July 5 and 6. Lord Clarence Paget in making the annual distri bution of prizes to the cadets on board the training ship Worcester, expressed his satisfaction at the success which had attended the establishment of such a vessel in the Thames. Mr. 11. J. Wickham, Acting Sub-Lieutenant of her Majesty's ship Royal Adelaide, was tried by court martial at Devonport on Friday, for absence from his ship without leave. lie pleaded guilty, and a conviction for drunkenness having been proved, he was sentenced to be dismissed the service. - - • 16, Mar, A CHANCE.—There is shortly to arrive in Paris a dwarf, aged about 55 years, having a beard reaching to his feet, but with only one arm and a completely bald head. He possesses 2,000,000 f., which he is willing to share with any young girl about 20 years old, and who is pretty and good-tenipered.—Orchestra. The 2nd Battalion of the 14th Regiment, which arrived in the Thames on board the chartered troopship Walmer Castle, from Australia, after an absence from England of ten years, disembarked at Gravesend on Friday, and proceeded by special train to Colchester, where the regiment is to be quartered. The Queen, having accepted the surrender of Rupert's Land from the Hudson's Bay Company, it is announced in Friday night's Gazette that her Majesty has beep pleased to appoint the Governor General for the time being of the Dominion of Canada to be the Governor of Rupert's Land until the admission of that territory Into the said Dominion. It is not expected that any inquest will be held on the body of the soldier of the 94th Regiment, who died on the march to Kingston on Thames, as the doctor of his regiment has declared that he died from natural causes, th man's death being merely accelerated by the heat. _ _ The Emperor Napoleon has received a letter from the King of Wurtemburg, announcing the death of Prince Frederick, his Majesty's brother-in-law and cousin. In consequence, the Court of the Tuileries goes into mourn ing for four days. During the thunderstorm of last week Mr. Coxwell, with five companions, made a balloon ascent from York. The rain actually forced the aerial monster to earth again, in a very short period. Subsequently, a successful trip was accomplished. Mr. Spurgeon has had another windfall. During the presant week a lady visited the bazaar held in the Stockwell Orphanage, and presented Mr. Spurgeon with the sum of £4OO, one-fourth of which is to be devoted to the Orphanage, and three-fourths to the Pastors' College. - - It is said that an application has been made by the Austrian Government, through its embassy in Lon don to the Board of Admiralty, requesting permission for Mr. Reed, the Chief Constructor, to design a fast and powerful steam yacht for his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Austria.

Laube, ex-director of the Leipsic theatre, is to shortly open a new and grand opera in Vienna.—lt is proposed to erect a statue of Gottschalk, in New York. Drury-lane Theatre opens in September with a drama, from the pen of Mr. Andrew Halliday, founded on Sir Walter Scott's great romance, " Kenilworth." The leading character will be the villain Varney, and the part is being "written up " for Mr. T. C. King. The part of the heroine will be taken by Miss Neilson. The Civilian says :—" Mr. Baxter and his chief having disposed of the clerks in the Admiralty, have now turned their attention to the clerics, many of whom are, it is stated, to be forthwith disestablished. The first to undergo this pleasant ordeal will be the chaplains of the divisional ships in the Coastguard and Steam Reserve." No MORE SEA SICKNESS.--We understand that Mr. Bessemer's plan for obviating sea sickness, by means of an oscillating chamber, supported on bearings similar to those of a compass—as has already been detailed in the Railway News—will shortly be put to a practical test. A. chamber of this description is now in course of construc tion at the works of Messrs. Maudsley, and will be fitted, when completed, to a steamer of about 300 tons.—Bail way News. How TO EAT STRAWBERRIES, PEACHES, AN NECTARINES.—To obtain the full, true, delicious flavour of a strawberry or a peach gather the fruit one day in ad vance and shut it up closely in the fruit-room, and it will be fit for the dessert and a credit to the cultivator. A second-class fruit prepared by this course of procedure will actually surpass a first-class fruit eaten freshly athered. Yet the current notion is that soft fruit cannot be too fresh, and the keeping of them deteriorates their flavour.— The Gardener's Magazine. THE APFARLAND CASE.—A despatch from Indiana says that MTarland, the murderer of Richardson is taking legal steps to contest the validity of his wife'sldi vorce. Some action which would settle the value of lithe lax statues of the Western States on the subjectof divorce as affecting citizens of other parts of the country, and the still looser modes of procedure under such statutes, would be highly desirable ; but M`Farland is not the man to make up a good test case. If he could carry his pro ceedings so far as to compel his wife to live with him again after what has passed, he would prove a more effective agent in destroying the marriage laws than all the disciples of free love who have ever preached or prac tised. Public opinion is so far made up and sealed in his case that it would seem the part of decency for him to rest content with his acquittal ; but decency is not his forte, and perhaps he has read history to such advantage that he expects by keeping himself before the people to get appointed to some position of honour and emolument, perhaps the mission to Spain.—Boston Advertiser. Baboo Keshub Chunder Sen addressed a crowded meeting in the Free-trade Hall, Manchester, on Friday night, on the progress of the Brahmo Somaj, or Native Theistic Church in India. He said that while the religion which he professed and preached was not hostile to Christian missionaries, but received with welcome all who brought the tidings of reformation and salvation to his countrymen, he deprecated ex ceedingly any attempt to reproduce sectarian peculi arities in India, and advised all missionary agencies to put the spirit of Christianity as exhibited in the life and, above all, in the death of Jesus Christ into the hearts of the people of India, and leave it to manifest itself in its own way. His address, which was one of remarkable power, and excited the audience to a very high degree, was brought to a close by a fervid denunciation of the liquor traffic and opium trade in India, and an appeal to the people of Manchester to assist him in a crusade, the object of which sLould be to induce the British Legisla ture to restrict instead of increasing these traffics. TIIE DIVISION ON THE EDUCATION. BILL. In the division of Friday on the Education Bill, 23t members of the Liberal party voted with the Govern ment and 60 against. The Queen's garden party at Windsor will account for the unavoidable absence of 25' or 30 Liberals, and accidents explain the absence of 25 or 30 more. The applications for pairs, also amounting to some 25 to 30, were unsuccessful, in consequence of the ex treme smallness of the number who opposed the Govern ment. Mr. Morley was necessarily at Bristol during the division, otherwise he would have voted with the majority. Mr. Disraeli and Mr. Hardy were both absent. Sir John Pakington came to town on purpose to vote with the Government. We state these simple facts as having both interest and use in illustrating the actual situation. To-day the Education Bill goes into committee, and the first subject of debate will be Mr. Dixon's amendment for creating school boards in every district. The notice paper contains no fewer than 280 amendments ; but many have already been sub stantially discussed or may be grouped with others, and hence there is good reason to hope that, in five nights of hard work, the task may be effectual lo n e xecuted, and that the bill may pass through committee on e Monday next.— Daily Telegraph.

The Odiham meeting commences on Tuesday. The Field makes the following observations :—" For the Odiham Handicap (1i miles) twenty-two horses have been named, and the pick of these are. Robespierre, Bst. 71b.; Kennington. Set. 61 b ; Choral , 7 st l llb (inc. 711; extra) ; and La Sorrentina, 6st. 41b. At a mile and a half Kennington would probably have defeated Choral in the Surrey and Middlesex stakes at Hampton ; and if the pair again meet, we apprehend that the Northumberland Plate hero will be found the better of the two. The Hurstboume Welter Handicap (1 mile) to which there are fifteen nomi nations, should fall to Fitz-Ivan or Traveller : t he Grey well Hill t Plate (4 furlongs) to Juliet or Wilful; and the Manor Plate (6 furlongs) to Barcelona or April Morn. In the Dogmersfield Park Stakes (4 furlongs) twenty-five two-year-olds have been handi capped, and Constantine, Bst. 121 b. with all his weight, will be dangerous. Capt Machell's colt, however, may fail to beat the elected of H. Goatees pair— Our Tom or Miss Laura—to one of whom the race may be awarded. Bell's Life says that for the Odiham Handicap Toby and Choral ought to rim well, and the Dogmersfield Park Stakes may perhaps be won by the Cecil's dam filly or Our Tom. With a run, we shall not look beyond Juliet for the winner of the Greywell Hill Plate. The Sporting Life says :—The Greywell Hill Plate of 50 soya, for all ages, has twenty-four subscribers, the handicap having evidently been carefu l ly prepared. The pick of the lot appear to me to be the top weight, Antias (Bst I21b), Simplon (Bst), Wilful (6st 101 b), and Royal Exchange (6st 81b). In the Manor Plate (three quarters of a mile)) those striking me as being best in are Traveller (5 yrs, 7st 71b), Satellite (3 yrs, Est 81b), and Malaria (6st). The Dogmersfield Park Stakes has obtained twenty-five subscribers, the weights ranging from Bst. 121 b. (which has been assigned to Captain Machell's Con stantine) down to 7st, which Mr. R. J. Woodman's Olive will have to carry. Not more than half a dozen of the lot have run in public, and most of these have performed very moderately. Knowing but little respecting any of the dark horses, I must pass them over, my choice resting on the filly by Lord of the Isles out of Cecil's dam (Bst. 41b.), Houghton (Bst.), and Slashing Kitty (7st. 21b.) The Hurstbourne Welter Cup— gentlemen riders, professionals 71b. extra—will probably be won by Robespierre (Bst. 71b.) or Simplon (7st. 121 b.) The Architect hears that the second largest work which the country has in hand—the completion of the new Government Offices`—is stopped for some unexplained reason.or other. The builders (it says) were actually pre paring their tenders for that work when they received notice to stop " until further orders," and no further orders have yet been received. AssiZE COURTS AT PLYMOUTH.—The Town Council at Plymouth have decided to expend £35,000 on the erection of assize courts and other public buildings. Twelve firms, from Beth, Salisbury, Exeter, Plymouth, Tavistock, and Saltash, tendered, the difference between the highest and lowest being £2,900. The tender of Messrs. Call and Pethick, Plymouth, for the sum above named, was accepted on Thursday. The "anti-surplice demonstrations" at Ashton-in- Makerfield have led to proceedings before the magistrates being taken against several of the persons implicated. On. Friday seven men and two women were fined in the aggre gate £26105., on information laid by the police, and eight other persons were committed for trial for riot. In the case of three of the persons, who were described as ring leaders, the magistrates refused to accept bail, and they were accordingly removed in custody. REVISION OF THE AUTHORIZED VERSION.—The revisers of the authorised version of the New Testament will meet for their next session on July 13, at the Juru salem Chamber, at eleven o'clock, and will sit for three days. The session just past has given much satisfaction to allpresent. Several questions of anature to test the charac ter and composition of the company have been discussed with perfect harmony. The progress has been quite as great as could have been expected. A large number of preliminary questions, involving general principles of criticism and interpretation, and affecting the whole course and conduct of the work, were necessarily raised by the emendations proposed, and have now been agreed upon. [ADVERTISEMENT. I —Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— Maternal sohcitude.—What anxiety, pain, aid discomfort would be avoided were these invaluable domestic remedies ready at hand. In the nursery Holloway's preparations prove invaluable. Quinsey, sore throat, diphtheria, measles, and scarlatina are cured by it. The Ointment must be diligently rubbed upon the affected parts till a large proportion has been absorbed by the pores. Its cooling and sedative qualities soon relieve all pain, arrest all inflammation, subdue all serious symptoms, and safely reconduct the sufferer back to health. The Ointment heals ulcers, sores, and scurvy. When Holloway's Pills are taken to augment the healthful action of the unguent few diseases in the young or adult can withstand their power, and none can entirely resist it.
