IN old times the British Parliament by no means invariably assembled at Westminster. Though that was the most usual place of meeting, the Three Estates of the Realm sometimes made excursions together and visited Oxford, Winchester, Notting ham, and other towns, by way of change. Though Parliament now represents three countries,svhereof two of them are very remote from London, we have giver up the migratory system, and the M.P. for the Orkney Isles and the M.P's for Galway have to go from the north and the west to far south-eastern Londoa There is seine compensation to the electors for this centralisation, though there is none for the elected. The annual speech which the M.P. makes to his constituents is intended to give them a slight taste of the Parliamentary life which their ancestors used to enjoy to the full. During the present vacation this pleasure has been administered rather sparingly. Conservatives have not liked to talk about the past, and Liberals have not known what to say about the future. The present Govern ment is essentially one of progress. It cannot rest upon its oars. Jt cannot, as Lord PALMERSTON'S Government did, appeal to bygone achievements 4.9 an excuse for present inaction. It must be ever wir.- ning fresh victories, or it will cease to have any reason for its existence. But it is only the chiefs who know beforehand how those victories are to be won, and they are not at all likely to betray the plan of the campaign to the enemy. Thus it comes to pass that though we are on the eve of a most eventful session, parliamentary speeches are unusually dull. Even Sir JOHN COLEBItIDGE had very little more than generalities to tell the Exonians. When he referred to particulars he expressed Merely his own wishes, and his hour's speech left his constituents net a whit more enlightened than they were before Every ono knew, for instance, that a 'Cabi net which contains great landowners and the sons of great landowners, is not likely to pass any measure for confiscating the property of Irish landlords. Everyone knew that the time is gone by when the Soreerron-Grxish.sn's compro mise with regard to University Tests can be accepted, and that a compulsory and complete measure is inevitable. Everyone knew that the Ballot is equally unavoidable. Most persons have ehrewedly guesse I that Mr. FonsTem's education bill will not satisfy extreme men on either side, and that the Government will not overthrow the present system but supplement it where it is defective or inapplicable. We are glad to see that Sir JOHN COLERIDGE differs from his eloquent friend Sir ROUNDELL PALMER with regard to the rights of married worn° 1. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL criticising a speech of the Ex-ATTORNEY-GENERAL regarding the property of women, considers that the law in this country " is absolutely barbarian," and that the Liberal pony "will insist upon its amendment." For even though the majority of women should turn out to be, as Sir Jolter COLERIDGE and we believe them tube, Tories, right ought to be done. We have little doubt but that very shortly right will bo done. Mr. Burma, in a memorable letter written last session, remarked, " The Lords are not very wise." 31:. PI:TEIt TAYLOR reminds 113 sometimes that the Radicals "are not very wise." The very advanced M.P. for Leicester is reported to have said that the House of Lords is "harmless, useless, and a de• gradation to the common sense of the country." It is difficult to understand her that which degrades can also be harmless. But assuming, as we have the right to assume, that the strongest epithet most fully expressed his mean ing, then we are compelled to tell Mr. TAYLOR that his estimate of the Upper House renders him very unfit for the Lower. We may all have our own ideas as to the propriety of altering that which is aasiss, but wholesale condemnation like this is as absurd as it is injurious. There is no assembly in the world which can boast of possessing men of such high character, great attainments, aed splendid eloquence as the House of Lords. We may wish sometimes that it were more e;t rapport with the nation—that it did not so frequently carry resistance to the extreme of obstinacy. Bat we beg leave to tell Mr. TAYLOR that so far from degrading, the Ile!the of Lords adorns the country to which it belongs. It is fair to the Radical party to say that they do not all talk nonsense like Mr. PETER TAYLOR. Mr. MIALL is a tolerably advanced politician t, -speak ing at Bradford, on Friday night, he protested against the tone of depreciation so often adopted by public speakers in England with regard to their own country. He said that he wished to enter a protest against the painful habit of referring to this country as the worst educated. country in Europe. He did not believe it was the worst. As regards our other institutions, ho had a high opinion of the present House of Commons, believed that it was a great improvement on the last ; and so far from denouncing the House of Lords, he averred that he agreed with almost everything which had been said just before by Lord HouGuToN. As Lord Hotaarroet had been praising that assembly, especially for its habit of treating the new-made peer with the same consideration as the peer of most ancient lineage, it may be inferred that Mr. Mrann's opinion of the Upper House is widely different from that of Mr. PETER TAYLOR. THERE is no patriotism in the Money Market, and of course we have no right to look for it in such a place. Nevertheless it might occur to speculators sometimes to ask if they are doing wisely from any point of view in advancing so much money to one Government as they have advanced to the Russian. In the first place this money is lent to a country whose policy has for many years been that of constant and persistent conquest and annexation, which has brought that power within a short distance of our Indian frontier. Without being Russo-phobists, we are inclined to doubt if this is precisely what Englishmen, even English City men, desire. Of course, it does not necessarily follow that because Russia touches our boundary she means to invade our territory. It may even be an advantage to us that she should civilize the barbarous tribes and open the way to commerce. Neverthe less, remembering how Russian railways con ' structed with English capital helped the Czar?, to keep the Western Powers at bay fifteen years ago, it is worth while at least to reflect that the gold which we subscribe :?.o freely now may be turned against us at some future day in the form of iron, that shall be not merely railway iron. The second point for consideration is that though Russia is most punctual in the payment of her creditors, she is very backward in giving them any accounts. All through the last war English bondholders received their inte rest as punctually as though England and Russia were the best of friends, instead of being engaged in a life and death conflict. Thus it comes to pass that Russian credit is always high; and the new loan announced last week has evoked an army of sub scribers. But this confidence is based almost entirely upon faith. Wo know little of the real financial position of Russia. Perhaps, if we did know, the knowledge would make very little difference. The people who are rash enough to lend insolvent Turkey whatever she asks are not likely to refuse solvent Tz u7s i a . Then, again, as the Economist points out, there is considerable misconception anions English investors as to the mature of the guarantee which is offered them. In many cases the guarantor is the Imperial Government itself, but in some it is only a local Government, the GoVernment of a province, which becomes responsible. By an almost culpable negligence, subscribers to tile various loans have lall. 4:1 to notice this important distinction. Perhaps they ahay find it out some day to _their THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY _ EVENING, JANUARY 31, 1870. to lend to the Uovermuent of the United States is one thing; to lend to the State of Pennsylvania is another and very different thing, as the lenders once learnt to their cost. Perhaps the same knowledge may bo in store for investors in Russian securities. At all events, it is but common prudence to ascertain how the matter stands. Financiers should not take a leap in the dark, even though politicians do.

The great event of the day in Calcutta was the investiture in that city of his Royal Highness as a Grand Commander of the Star of India, on December 30th. It is said to have been the most splendid pageant India has ever beheld. The Times of India thus writes with re gard to it :—Lord Mayo is just the man to see that an occasion of the kind is wanting, in nothing that can add splendour to it ; and never before has such an occasion for display presented itself. All the knights present appeared in the full attire of their rank, with banners, attendants, and pages, after the manner of knighthood of the olden time; and the rich stateliness of the procession, the Indian sun shining upon the many-coloured banners, the magnificent array of native princes and their followers, the sparkling of gold and jewels, the firing of guns, the investiture of the Prince, and the national choruses that were sung at appropriate times during the cere mony, all served to please and astonish eye and ima gination, and formed a scene of splendour which can never be forgotten. The presence of Lord Mayo and the Royal Duke on their respective_ thrones formed the centre of what was really a picture of the gorgeous East softened by European civilisa tion ; and generations will pass before the memory of that great ceremonial will die out from the minds of those who were present thereat. One of the most novel and pleasing features of the installation was the part the native feudatories were called upon to play thereat. All having assem bled, and " God save the Queen" having been sung, his Royal Highness descended from the dais, where he sat with Earl Mayo, and took up his position underneath, between the lines of Grand Commanders. Then Scindiah, as senior Grand Commander, and ,Jeypore as second, invested his Royal Highness with the collar, star and robe of the Order, after which the heralds a second time made due proclamation of his Royal Highness's style and titles. The Indian Daily News gives the following de scription of the scene :—The Chapter tent was a very large one, being supported by six large tent poles made expressly for the occasion, being more lofty, more substantial, and more ornate than tho,.e in use at Agra. They were fluted and painted in harmony with the general effect. Within the poles, that is, within the " perpendiculars," in nautical phraseology, the length would be about one hun dred feet, the breadth of the tent about sixty feet. At the back of the centre was placed a dais covered with a canopy of blue and silver supported by poles of the same order of ornamentation at the corners, the centre having a large silver star, and the corners being filled in with appropriate emblems. The da's was covered with crimson cloth, over which was en embroidered carpet or cloth of gold, and on the steps a cushion of blue velvet, on which the Prince knelt while being invested with the Collar of the Order by the Viceroy. The chairs of State with footstools stood on the dais for the Vice roy and the Prince, the latter being seated on the right or Eastern side. If the reader will place himself in imagination on the dais, he will have a good position to see the arrangements for the Chapter, and the whole ceremony will become more intelligible, and the scene realised more perfectly, than from any other point. In aline with the dais, right and left, a number of chairs were placed look ing north, that is in the same line of sight as the Viceroy. Those to the right were occupied by Lord Napier, the Hon. W. Grey, Lieut.-Governor of Bengal, the Rajah of Bhurtpore, the Rajah of Cilwar, with their respective staffs behind them. Oa the left were Lady Mayo, Lady Napier, the Begum of Bhopal, the Bishop, and Miss Milman. Behind these were Mrs. Grey, the Hon. Mrs. Burne, Mee. Fytche, Lady Ulic Browne, and the daughter of the Begum ; and in the rear were certain officials of the Government. The rest of the seats, with the exception of the singers and musicians, who were in an enclosed space behind the dais, were placed at right angles to the above, looking east and west. There were sixteen rows of chairs on each side, and raised galleries behind. These rows of chairs only extended to the front of the tent, or to about 30 feet from the dais. At the top of the street, and forming the " winks " of the Chapter tent, were two smaller tents, and beyond these two others, more of the nature cf canopies than tents, on the top of which were numerous streamers. In front of these teats were placed plants and flowers. These tents were occupied by various groups of ticket holders, and though they were tug far away to see much of the proceedings of the Chapter, they were compensated to some extent by a better view of the procession. Beyond these and iu front of the smaller tents forming the street, were lines of soldiers on the east, and on the west the sailors of the Galatea—au arrangement that broke the uniformity of the " thin red line," and added to the picturesqueness of the scene, typifying the maritime supremacy of England. Beyond these was seen the line of approach ; and the crowds of the unprivileged assembled to witness the proces sion, for it was impossible to have found accommo dation in the enclosure for the thousands who de sired it. Government House in the distance formed an appropriate background. The special correspondent of the Bombay Gazelle thus describes the ceremony : The Duke being duly robed, ribboned, and starred, advanced to the front of the dais, and knelt to receive the collar from the Grand Master, who, addressing him as follows, proceeded to in vest him it :—" Iu the name of the Queen, and by her Majesty's command, I here invest you with the honourable Insignia of the Star of India, of which most exalted order her Majesty has been graciously pleased to appoint you to be a Knight Grand Com mander." As the collar touched the Prince's shoulder, so perfect were the arrangements, the first gun of a royal salute was fired, and the salute being over, his Royal Highness was conducted to each of the Grand Commanders, who in turn shook hands with him. His Royal Highness then advanc ing to the table signed the necessary promise re quired by the statutes of the order. Then he again ascended the dais, and standing in front of his seat, his banner, borne by Sir Neville Chamber lain, was unfurled and waved, and amidst a flourish of trumpets the secretary of the order pro claimed his Royal Highness's style and titles as fol lows :—''The Most High, the Most 'Puissant, and the Most Illustrious Prince Alfred Ernest Albert, Duke of Saxony, Prince of Saxe Coburg Gotha, Duke of Edinburgh, Earl of Kent, E irl of Ulster, Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, Knight of the Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle, Knight Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George, Extra Knight Grand Commander of the Most Exalted Order of the Star of India, and a Mem ber of her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy - Council," &c. The proclamation being ended all again sat down. "Rule Britannia" was then sung by the chorus,and at its conclusion,no more business being before the Chapter, the Grand Master directed the secretary to declare the Chapter closed. The Grand Com manders, with their pages, banner bearers, and attendants, then formed iu procession and left the tent under a royal salute in the order in which it had entered. So ended the ceremony of the day. Lichever way it is looked at, whether as a bril liant pageant, or what is of more importance as a matter of policy in bringing the great chiefs of India together to meet the son of their Sovereign, it was an undoubted success. On the day after the invcs iture there was a very t fanny bidl at Governm.nr..-hoo6e ; and on the 7th inst , the 1) Like left Calcutta for Lis tour up the country. It was expected that he would viit ILtnbay fur two or three days at the counence went of March. Rev.

The China Mail says :—We hear that M.Rochechonart, who is now in Shanghai, intends to go up the Yangtze with the two French gunbcats in pert, to settle the troubles that have recently occurred in connection with French missionaries in Anhwei and Szechuen. -His Impe rial Majesty's frigate Venus is also expected shortly from Hong-kong, for the purpose, we believe, of supporting M. Rochechouart's negotiations. It is said that his Excel lency purposes to proceed to Yu-yang in Szechuen—the scene of the murder of a French priest and a number of native Christians at the beginning of this year. The squadron will convey the Minister as far as Ichang, whence he will proceed by boat with an escort of fifty men and two field pieces to Yu-yang. It is said that the Count contemplates, besides, several long journeys in Kwei chow, Szechuen, Shensi, and Shansi, but the armed escort will probably not proceed farther than Yu-yang. In the meantime, we hear that the energetic attitudf tAken up by the French Covernment, in reference to the late missionary murders in Szechuen has led to the re moval and degradation of the Viceroy of that province, Ou-ta-jen. SHOCKING MURDER IN PARIS. GaZignani's Messenger gives the account of a very shocking murder which took place in Paris on Friday: `•the tragedy occurred in the Rue du Faubourg St. Honore. A lady named Lombart was murdered by her footman, who also dangerously wounded the lady's maid and the cook. The man during the day had had at. al tercation with his mistress, and when at about shz in the evening she ordered him to serve the dinner, he rushed at her with a knife and cut her throat, killing her on the spot. The two female servants came to the whistance of their mistress, and in the struggle which ensued ono was cut so severely that her life is depi.aired cf. The murderer, who is a Belgian by birth, and is believed ti have been at the moment in a state of into.ticAtlon, wt.s eventually •ceured by an upholsterer living in the house, and was riven into custody of the police. A tertible detail in connection with this crime Is that the husband of Mrs. Lombart is stricken with paralysis, and saw his wife murdered before him, without being able to afford her assistance." A Paris correspondent, writing on Saturday evening, gives the subjoined account of the occurrence: —The story told by Gatiptani was Out too true. Madame Lombart , the wife of a former French Conztli.General in India, residing in the Rue du Faubourg St. Ifonori , , was killed by her servant in her husband's presence, he baing paralytic, and unable to help her. The man way a Belgian, and had been in M. Lombart's sersice about six months. At six o'clock, iust as dinner was about to be served, the servant, whose name is Francois, came into the bedroom where Madame Lombart was attending to her husband, who for years has been re duced to pass his days in an arm chair. Au altercation took place between the mistress and the footman; and the latter, who was drunk, lvsnt out to the diningevom and returned with a carving -knife, with which he very nearly cut off Madame Lombart's head. Tice husband, unable to stir from his chair, saw his wife murdered almost within arm's length of him. When 'he was quite dead Francois rushed to the kitchen, where he fund the cook and alittle boy from the porter's lodge below stairs. Their screams brought to the spot the porter's wife and the cook of the Viscountess de Fitz-James, a lady living in the same house. The latter• woman attempted to disarm Francois but ho disabled her by inflicting a very severe wound in her throat. The coheierge then fled with her son ; and thereupon the man struck with the knife at his fellow servant. She, instinctively putting up her hands to protect her head, received a terrible wound on her wrist, the hand being nearly cut off. The neighbours speedily called in the police, and the assassin was arrested. THE NEW CAB REGULATIONS. (From the Observer.) Some of our contemporaries are euilty of foster ing an immense amount of misconception with regard to the incidence with which compliance with the new cab regulations falls upon cab proprietors and drivers. Scotland Yard has been described as filled day after day with a block of cabs, waiting to be passed, undergoing inspection, and, with long and painful delay, being fitted with the new plates qualifying them to ply under the new act, All this is totally inaccurate. Not a single cab has under gone inspection in Scotland Yard. The Officials who are entrusted with the inspection of cabs attend the headquarters of the various divisions on certain specified days, and their attendance for this is duly notified some days beforehand to the several cab proprietors within the division. There has not-- and never has been—a single new cab plate in in Scotland-yard. All these are issued at divisional stations as the result of the inspection, and Scot land-yard has not had the remotest connection with the cabs in any shape. Its functions have had concern solely with the cab drivers, who it is true bring their machines along with them, and so create that block in the yard which has possibly misled our contemporaries. The licences for cab-drivers have hitherto been issued in the month of May, to last for twelve mouths, and have cost SS. each. The new act has, how,ver, anticipated the completion of the cabman's financial year. renewal of all licences has been called fur on or before to morrow, and a certain discount for the lost months has been given in this form, that the renewal licences Lave been granted on payment of 35., and will hold good till February 1, 1870. After to mirrow the licence will cost 55., and will hold good till the date a year hence corresponding to its issue. As there are over 17,000 cab-drivers in the metro polis, it is obvious thatconsiderable confusion would have arisen had all these been allowed to attend in one day. The Chief Commissioner accordingly issued a circular allocating certain days to particular numbers. The renewal of the licence commenced on Monday, the 10th, and has continued de die in diem ever since. The last batch, consisting of the numbers over 17,000 will be taken to-morrow, which will be the closing day under the 3s. dispen sation. But if a driver happened to miss his rota tion he was not through this failure placed at any disadvantage, all he had to do was to attend at the yard any day he chose, and he received his renewal just as if it had been the day on which, according to the schedule, he ought to have attended. Possibly the greatest influx of drivers occurred yes terday. Scotland-yard was all day so crowded with the vehicles of applicants that there was difficulty in making a passage through them ; but, neverthe less, the drivers had no reason to complain of undue detention. Half an hour was the maximum of the official detention, although it must be acknowledged tha' conviviality often led to a longer stay in the precincts. We have reason to believe that on the lamp question, which recently gave rise so nearly to a cab strike, no such unanimity of feeling exists as need lead to" any apprehension that such a high-handed step will be again attempted, even if the action of the law—postponed by Mr. Bruce—is ultimately put in force. The support of the Hansom cabmen is not on this occasion with their fellows of the four-wheelers. The former, indeed, are inclined to be irritated at the continued resistance of the latter to an impost which they, the Hansom drivers, have long voluntarily taken upon themselves. In most cases the Hansom cab-driver has to provide his own lamp or lamps at a cost of about 255., and in all he has to keep his own lamp burn ing, at a cost of 2id. per night if he burns cocoa nut oil, and 41d. if he uses composites. He has taken to the lamp partly out of a certain craving for " fancy," as he calls it, partly because he finds it pay, and be is inclined to dispute the title of the four-wheeler to dispense with what prescription compels him to use. Some amount of inquiry has impressed us with the conviction that the driver of a four-wheeler cannot and will not afford the addi tional impost of the lamp, but that the proprietors are not so fiercely hostile to it in itself as to the time of its intended imposition. They contend that the new act will involve them in a great amount of expense; that they will be bound, if they are to compete with their fellows on free trade princip!es, to expend within the next few months what will far exceed the amount of taxation from which they have been relieved. They believe that the same competition which free trade induces will ultimately stimulate to the invariable use of the lamp, but what they are trying for is, to be spared is the meantime its enforcement. This indulgence Mr. Bruce has granted them, and quite probably, should Parliament refuse to grant the petition for the non-enforcement of the lamp, the trade will be content with having escaped the burden for this costly winter. ROLLS' CIiAMBEI S. This morning Mr. Handson (Messrs Fresh&ld), on the part of the official liquidators, applied to Mr. Chance, the chief clerk, for leave to appeal to the House of Lords, in consequence of a recent decision of one of the Vice-Chancellors in the matter of the Joint Stock Discount Company, in which Barned's Bank was interested to a large amount. The leave was to apply to the House of Lords in the first in stance. The Chief Clerk asked whether the amount involved was large? Mr. Handson said more than £50,000. There might be two appeals to the House of Lords. He produced the opinion of Mr. Mellish, Q.C., in favour of the application. The Chief Clerk sent the case to the Master of the Rolls, on the question of appeal. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. This morning an application under the old In solvency Act was made to the Chief Judge, in the matter of G. K. Griffiths, an insolvent of 301years' standing, who was residuary legatee under his grandfather's will. He had recently come into possession of a sum of £420. Mr. Bagley, on behalf of the insolvent, stated that he was old, paralysed, and infirm, and therefore should be allowed a por tion of the sum for his maintenance. Mr. Doria objected; but the court ruled that one-third of the fund should be paid into ciurt for the trustees to distribute among creditors, the other two-thirds to be retained for the use of the insolvent. POLICE IN7ELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH- STREET. CRUELTY TO HORSES.—William Churchill, a car man, of 2, Newgate-street, Lambeth-walk, was charged with cruelty to a horse, by working it in an unfit state. From the evidence of a police-constable, an officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and Mr. Arthur Cherry, the Government Veterinary Surgeon, it appears that the defendant was driving a horse which was ex cessively lame, and that it was not fit in its present condition to be sent out. The defendant was fined 30e., and the horse and cart ordered to bo detained at the Green-yard till the fine was paid. Alfred Anger, cab-driver, badge 6,238, was charged with working a horse iu au unfit state. An officer of the Royal Society for the Pnven. tion of Cruelty to Anima's watched the case. Evidence having been given by a constable and Inspector Browning, C Division, the defendant was fined 203. EnBEZZLEMENT•—Frederick Pollard, a salesman, in the employ of Mr. George Adam, boutrnaker, of No. 17, Brewer-street, Golden-square, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with embezzling woney received on account of his employer. One case having been entered on, and the prose cutor asking for a remand at the same time, stating that his losses were rather considerable. Mr. Mansfield remanded the prisoner for a week. WESTMINSTER. EXTENSIVE ROBBERIES BT A LADY'S MAlD.—Eliza beth Savage, a well-dressed lady-like woman, was charged with stealing divers bracelets, rings, brooches, dresses, &c., of the value of £3OO, the property of her master, Mr. Francis Whichcote, a gentleman of independent means residing at 35, Montpelier-street, Brotnptot. Mr. Whichcote said the prisoner came into his employ in June last as lady's maid to his wife, and left a fortnight or three weeks ago. She left sud denly, he had no doubt because some cases of jewellery had bee❑ moved from which the.pro perty had been stolen. She came dow❑ and volun tarily stated that she bad taken the things and pawned them. Mrs. Whichcote identified her property produced by seve.i or eight pawnbrokers in Chelsea and Biompton for about £3O ; other property was mis sing, but of comparatively trifling value.] William Watts, a de.ective of the B said he apprehended the prisoner at 266, Vauxhall bridge-road, ou Saturday night, and she denied being the person wanted, but upon being taken into custody made a voluntary statement, from which he went to her late master's house and found eight or nine pawn tickets relating to the stolen property. She was fully committed : for trial. THAMES. THE CAPTAIN AND THE SIRENS.—Mary Gayton, a widow, aged 34 years, of No. 11, Dunstan-place, Rateliff, was charged with stealing a gold watch, value 15 guineas, from the person of Captain John Hartley, Master mariner, of No. 55, Bolton-street, Euston-road. Another woman, named Mary Ann Morris, had been remanded until Wednesday next for being concerned in the robbery, which is alleged took place in the King's Arms public-house, in Brook street, Ratcliff, on Tuesday night last. The captain was out on the spree in the classic purlieus of Ratcliff, and visited several grog-shops, in com pany with Morris. They went into the King's Arms and had more drink, and were soon after wards joined by Gayton, who was invited to drink with the captain and Morris_ Soon afterwards the captain missed his watch. The chain of it was cut. At the same time he missed his two companions. lie had looked at his watch for the last time at ten minutes past 11. He gave information to the police, and on the same night Morris was taken into custody. A police-constable, who took her into custody, said that he began to " chaff" her about the watch, but could not elicit any informa tion. John Oxley, the landlord of the house, No. 11, Dunstan-place, said that Morris came in on Tuesday night and said Polly Gayton was coming there with a gentleman, and that she had got his jerry (watch) all right, and afterwards said she had not got it. The prisoner Gayton was arrested yesterday. She made a great row about the cap tain's watch in Oxley's house, and said that Morris had the - watch, and was going to do her out of it. Captain Hartley said the watch belonged to his wife, and that his own was under repair. The magistrate said the prosecutor had not taken much care of his wife's watch, and remanded the prisoner until Wednesday, when Morris will be arraigned with her. We learn with some surprise from a correspon dent in Switzerland that a paper had been handed to all visitors demanding three francs from each for permission to remain in the country, with a notice that if the permis sion was not renewed at the end of the month a fine of six francs would be incurred. The visitors are informed - thtit they cannot move from ono place in Switzerland to another without the sanction of the police and on the payment of 40 centimes; and they are moreover directed to deposit iu the bands of the police their "papers," pass ports, we presume, being meant. Our correspondent justly remarks on the absurdity of the idea of visitors having to solicit permission to reside in a country which derives almost its only sustenance front their patronage, the visi tors being the life and bread of the people. We cannot sup pose that the Swiss Government is so inseam as to hamper tourists with the old absurd and obsolete regulations. If it do, s, why should not Colorado look up? as something new, even mire imposing in scenery - and more healthful in climate. Let us have tho Switzerland of America opened lip with plenty of visitors, good hotels, and cheap railroad travel, and Switzerland may discover that there are other high elevations in a good latitude. RAILWAY NEWS.—The Hon. Eevertly Johnson has given an opinion that the Act of the Maryland Legis lature, which requires the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to pay hito the Treasury of that State cne-fifth of the gross proceeds from passenger travel of the Washington branch of the road, is unconstitutional.—On the Bth inst. Messrs. Fisk and Gould were brought before the Oyer and Terminer Court in Pas,'aic County, New Jersey, on a charge of conspiring to defraud by taking excessive rates of freight front the Rogers Locomotive Company of Pater son for transporting locomotives. About 400 suits are to be commenced against the Erie Company for alleged over charges for carrying freight. THE LIVERPOOL CA TASTROPTIE, The inquest on the bodies of the fifteen persons who were killed in the dreadful panic which occured on Sunday week at the Grosvenor-street Roman Catholic Chapel w.la resumed and completed on Friday. Some new light was thrown on the cause of the alarm of fire being given by a witness, who stated that one of the gaslights flared up, through a burner apparently falling off. A cry of "Fire" was then raised in the chapel, and it would appear, was afterwards repeated by somebody in the street through one of the w7nlows of the schoolroom below just at the moment that a commotion was created there by a drunken brawler, named Patrick Nevin. The congregation in the chapel had candles with them for the ceremony of "renewing their baptismal vows," but none of these were lighted, neither in the schoolroom nor in the chapel, until after the panic had occurred. The coroner told the jury that if it could be proved that any one had wantonly cried "Fire," he should have directed them to have found a verdict of manslaugh ter against that person; but, censurable as the conduct of the drunken brawler was, he could not be held criminally responsible for the results of his misconduct, because his act of itself was not one which was likely to induce a panic. In this case, however, there was no doubt that the confusion created by Nevin took from the clergyman that influence which he otherwise might have had over the congregation when the alarm of fire was given. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the coroner's suggestion—that the calamity resulted partly owing to the alarm of fire being given, and partly in consequence of the disturbance created by Nevin. The jury also considered that the north-west entrance of the church would bo better if it was considerably wider. THE LINCOLNSHIRE HANDICAP. Foremost in interest, so far as date is concerned, among the spring handicaps, is the Lincolnshire, which is to be run on the 15th of February. Sixty-seven horses have been nominated for it. The Field selects Islam, Miss Dayrell, Van Amburgh, Storter, Cocoa nut; and the Grasshopper filly as tho most dangerous: of the horses engaged, and gives its first preference to Islam, with the Grasshopper filly or Cocoa-nut next. "Islam, 7st flub., trained by Mr. Scott, at Holywell—is perhaps the best handicapped horse in the race. Few individuals who saw the gallant fight Islam made with Pretender for the Great Northern Leger at Stockton, will deny that Islam is well in at Lincoln, and if he is pre pared for the handicap, his chance is second to that of no horse engaged. The Sporting Life chooses the following as the best horses :—Cardinal of York (4 yrs., Sst. 121 b.), Islam (4 yes.. ist. flub.), Cocoanut (4 yrs., ist. 21b ), Birthday (4 yrs., 7st.), Cymbal (3 yrs., fist. 101 b.), Queen of Hearts (3 yra., fist. 101 b.), Anlace (4 yrs., fist. 101 h.), Stephanotis (3 yrs., fist. 91b.), Carnival colt (3 yrs., sst. 101. b.) The Sportsman thinks that not one of the Sst. division, which numbers fifteen, can be said to be well in. Uncas must be wonderfully favoured at 7st. 121 b., if ho retains any of the form he shewed at Newmarket, the last two seasons. Of Mr. Hodgman's three there is none to fancy- Of Matthew Dawson's Stromboli, Stephanotis, and the Leila. Colt, the first mentioned looks remarkably well treated with Est. 41b. The brothers Peels have five animals, of which the best seem to be Simplon, who has only sst. 101 b. to carry, and who is a remarkably good looking animal. W. Day has the formidable string of 'Historian, Starter, Our Mary Ann, Benbow, Aulace, Maid of Athol, and the Rosamond colt in training. Benbow, 65t. 121 b., has a good private reputation, and Blandford se ems very well dealt with at sst. 71b. Joseph Dawson's best will prove to be Fugitive, who, if ho can stay the mile, will cause his opponents some trouble. He possesses a fine turn of speed. and we usually see the Lincoln race won in the first three-quarters of a mile, as the animals who ::re fast enough to secure the beet place at the lower turn have such an advantage that they almost invariably win. Goatees Grasshopper filly. Est 41b is, in the opinion of the Sportsman, decidedly the pick of the handicap, though it is an ominous sign that she is not (ntered in the City and Suburban, for if she is good enough to win at Lincoln, she must also have a great chance at Epsom. "The best of the handicap certainly appear to be Uncas, the Grasshopper filly, and W. Day's best, and we shall, in all probability, see the winner spring from one of this lot." THE LIVERPOOL GRAND NATIONAL, A writer in the Sporting Life has the following oberva tions on the Liverpool Steeplechase .—" Those who got early on The Doctor and Q.C. for Liverpool have no reason to be dissatisfied, the first-mentidned having become first favourite with no more than 14 to 1 offered. As anticipated, Pearl Diver heads the list with 12st. 71b. so that under any circumstances he will not be able to beat the Lamb (11st. 71b.) on their running a couple of seasons ao, when the pair met at 51b. ; now there is precisely 141 b., so that Lord Poulett's animal is meeting Mr. Bray ley's old horse on 91b. better terms than when The Lamb won by a couple of lengths. It is impossible to get away, then, from the extremely favourable terms on which the Lamb is handicapped, and, despite the unfavourable market movements, he will run a great horse again under such an impost. Mr. Brayley bat 3d, soonafter he saw the weights, £5OO The Lamb beats Brick (11st 21b), and offered to make it £s,ooo,which, however, was declined. In my opinion, however, Brick cannot stay beyond three miles, and even if much more favourably weighted, would not be enabled to traverse the Liverpool country successfully. Holman's lot, The Doctor (11st. 71b), Globule (10st. 71b.), Thalassius (10st. 41b.), as well as Brick, are all fairly in. Just on the eve of the publication of the weights there was a rush on to The Doctor, and ho advanced to 1,000 to 60, the result, it was thought, of his owner endeavouring to get back some money which he had laid. Up to this time he has not, I believe, been suc cessful in recouping a shilling for himself. The Doctor is wonderfully well in, and if the party stand him in prefer ence to the remainder of their team, he will be extremely dan gerous, notwithstanding an impression abroad that he cannot stay more than tnree miles. Tathwell (10st. 121 b.) Nu e (lost. 101 b.), Honolulu (10st.), Costa (lost. e 6 a 113: 1 ) f Q t ag : (lost. 101 b.), Sir Robert Peel (10st. 51b.), and Thalassi lot, and4lb.) from e m o y f a opinion, t thequartette fa c l l s on Costa, The Doctor, The Lamb, and Honolulu." TIM OYSTER TRADE.---Those who indulge in the luxury of oysters will be glad to learn that a competition in the trade is likely to be opened, two importations of American oys tors having lately taken place at Southampton. For more than two years there has been established at Leeds " a public house without the drink, where men may sit, talk, read, and think, then safely home return.' This succeeded so well that a second was opened last spring in Hunslet, and now a third has been opened. LABOUR WANTED IN AUSTRALIA.--The latest accounts from Melbourne state (says the Pall Mall Gazette), that the demAnd for all kinds of labour still continues in excess of the supply. Owing to the haymaking season wages had risen considerably since last quotations, and the price was likely to keep up for three months.
