STAMPED sd. on the bank of the canal on Thursday night. The ptrsons who • assembled there, eight in number, would seem to have been members of that band, and if so they had either resolved beforehand, or .vere prompted by something that occurred at, the moment, to murder Aylward as a suspected traitor. Yet he positively refused to give any in formation about them, assigning as his reason that he was " no Massy." It is, however, not improbable that Aylward will on second thoughts he willing to save himself by giving the name's of his assailants. Baron Deasy, in the course of his charge to the jury yesterday evening, completely exonerated the two prisoners Duffy and Flood from any connection with this murderous band, of which Cody was proved to have been a member, and even in the case of this convict he urged the jury not to allow them selves to be influenced by the horror naturally in spired by such a detestable scheme. The Court for Crown Cases Reserved sat this morning for the purpose of delivering judgment in the case of the Queen v. John M'Cafferty. The Lord Chief Justice, Chief Justice Monahan, the Lord Chief Baron, Mr. Justice Keogh, Mr. Justice O'Brien, Mr. Baron Hughes, Mr. Justice Fitzgerald, Mr. Baron Deasy, Mr. Justice O'Hagan, and Mr. Justice George took their seats on the bench at a quarter to 11 o'clock. The case having been called on, The Lord Chief Justice called on Mr. Justice George, as junior judge, to deliver judgment, the Court being divided in opinion. Mr. Justice George then proceeded to deliver judgment. Having referred to the frame of the in dictment, and to the evidence given against the pri soner by the approver Corydon and others relative to the Chester affair, his lordship said the case re served was in the following terms : "After the aforesaid evidence had been given, it was proposed on the part of the Crown further to give evidence of the insurrection and acts of war which occurred on the night of the sth :March, 1867, and thereupon counsel on behalf of the pri soner objected to the reception of such evidence upon the ground that defendant had been since the 23d of February, and was on the said sth of March a prisoner in custody in Mountjoy Prison, and that the acts of others while he was in custody ought not to be received as evidence ; and further, that the defendant was not legally responsible for the acts of others after his arrest. We ruled that the evidence was admissible. At the close of the whole case counsel on behalf of the defendant called upon us to direct an acquittal on the ground that there had been no sufficient legal evidence by two witnesses of any overt act of treason in the county of Dublin for which the defendant was responsible, and that he could not be lawfully convicted on the evidence of the witness Croydon alone. We declined to direct an acquittal, and allowed the case to go to the jury on the evidence aforesaid, and the jury brought in a verdict of guilty against the defendant on all counts of the indictment. We have reserved for the consi deration of the Court for Crown Cases Reserved the following question : —l. 'Whether we were right in receiving against the defendant the said evidence of the transactions of the night of the sth of March, 1867. 2. Whether we were right in directing (as we did, in fact, direct) the jury that there was suffi cient lawful evidence on which they might find that some or one of the said overt acts were or was done, and the said treason committed by defendant in the county of Dublin; if the jury should, on the evidence, be satisfied that the said insurrection and acts of war of the sth of March last, in the county of Dublin, were the resultof the command and incitement of the said directory or other governing body of the said confederacy, of which the defendant was a member, given prior to the arrest of the defendant? On the first point he (Mr. Jui tine George) was of opin ion the prisoner was a principal in the treason proved against him. The jury distinctly found that the acts were done by command of the directory of which, up to the period of his arrest, he was a mem ber, and in his (the learned Judge's) opinion they were the acts of the prisoner himself. It was proved that he had, at a meeting inLiverpool, proposed the movement in Chester, which having failed it was determined there should be an immediate insurrec tion in Ireland, and, evideritly with the intention of aiding and assisting in that insurrection, the pri soner and Flood attempted to furtively enter the country. It was true they were arrested, but the rising on the night of the sth of March was not alone the probable, but the inevitable, consequence of the plans which the prisoner, in conjunction with others, had formed, and which he had never done anything with a view to countermand. With respect to the question raised as to the witnesses not having proved an avert act of treason, he held that on the report of the learned Judges who tried the case there was abundant evidence to go to the jury corroborative of the approver Corydon, and on the whole case he was of opinion that the points raised had been rightly decided by the learned Judges who tried the case. The conviction should therefore be affirmed." A majority of the other judges having concurred, the conviction was affirmed. Naval and Military Intelligence. - - Letters received from the Pacific squadron by a Chatham correspondent report a numerous squa dron of English, French, American, and Peruvian vessels of war at Valparaiso at the departure of the mail.

On the 9th of March the Zealous left Luudy-poiet, accompanied by the Nassau, 5, 150-horse power, for a cruise. The Sutlej was under orders to return to England for the purpose of being put out of commission. The Reindeer, Commander Nares, arrived at Varparaiso on the Ist ult , having experienced very severe weather from the time she left Rio. Several cases of smallpox had occurred among the crew, the men attacked being sent on shore to hospital at Valparaiso. A court martial had been held on Mr: T. Steel, master of the Clio, on a charge of drunkenness, of whiDh he was found guilty and ordered to be placed at the bottom of the list. A trial of the engines of her Majesty's armour plated ship Northumberland took place at the mea sured mile outside Plymouth Breakwater on Thurs day last. The wind was from E.S.E., force 2to 3, the sea smooth, the weather barometer at 30.10. This ship belongs to the same class as the Agincourt apd Minotaur. She was built of iron by the Mill wall Company, and launched in April, 186* Her length is 400 ft., breadth 59ft., and tonnage 6,621 tons. Her lower masts only were in ; there were 320 tons of coal on board, no stores ; draught of water forward, 23ft. ; aft, 24ft. lin. The trial took place under the superintendence of Capt. George C.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBL IC JOIIANALS. TIIE SPECTATOR . S " NEW LECTURE FOIL MR. GLADSTONE.—If Mr. Gladstone would duly learn that earnestness is a quality to be economized ! Ile is always wasting it, tia 111C11 of the world, who know by instinct rather than reason what is im rortant and what is not, scarcely know how to fol low him. That speech of Saturday to the deputa tion from the National lit forni Union was in every rsspect but this an admirable one, full of truth and argument, and illustrations often worded in the speaker's happiest style. The single drawback was a superfluity of eareestness. It is quite true that the " rating principle" is a bad foundation for the franchise, a very bad one, as tending at once to in crease corruption, and to widen the breaches among classes, but it is not so bad that Englishmen will abandon the habit of their lives, and abolish a law before it has been put in operatiOn. Having once passed it, they will try it, and then if it works badly they will patch it till it works better, but they will not sweep it away on a priori reasons, be fore it has been worked at all. They are not logical enough, or sufficiently amenable to argument, to do anything of the sort. When, therefore, Mr. Glad stone declares that he shall obey the Reform Act, if it passes, under protest, and with the full inten tion of sweeping away its main provision, he goes so far beyond his countrymen that he tempts them to pull up, in sheer dislike of the pace he wishes to establish. If the bill turns out badly, they will be ready to help in altering it, but till then they do not want to be sickened with agitation, wearied with discussion, frightened with the suspension of all other modes of effort. Mr. Gladstone is •too earnest for them, too earnest even for us; who dis like this bill; on the face of it, as much as he does, though we have more confidence in the unforeseen palliatives which so often correct the effects of English blundering. If Mr. Gladstone can throw out the bill and bring in a better one, well and good ; but the difference between Mr. Hibbert's amend ment and Mr. Disraeli's is not worth such an expen diture of energy and mental vigour. Mr. Hibbert would enable the tenant to vote, if liable for his rates, even if his landlord paid for him, and Mr. Disraeli enables him to vote only if he actually pays for himself. The difference to the tenant, as we showed last week, is almost nil, as he will just keep back two weeks' rent per quarter, but Mr. Glad stone evidently thinks that Mr. Disraeli's plan will strengthen the landlord's hands. How will it ? Under Mr. Hibbert's scheme, he could refuse to pay rates, and so just produce the very position Mr. Disraeli's scheme establishes. The real power of the landlord is not affected by such small distinctions, would be just as great if the wlification were occupancy pure and simple. The landlord can evict, can distrain, and can " worrit"--sto use a most expressive provin cialism—when,he is landlord only, as easily as when he is landlord and ratepayer, and an increase or decrease of a few pence a week in his demand will not greatly affect his power. The evil is the poverty of the people, not the mode in which they are to pay their rates. That the landlords will be terribly strong, so strong that the purchase of house pro perty in second rate boroughs will soon become a political pursuit, we sorrowfully acknowledge, but that evil is inherent in household suffrage, not in the mode of paying rates. The one inevitable cre ditor will always be formidable to a poor debtor, but he will be formidable whether he pays rates or not. The owner can sell the tenant's bed to get his arrears of 3s. 6d. a week, as well as to levy arrears of 4s. The only way to hit him hard is to abo lish the iniquitous preference which a landlord enjoys over every other creditor, one of the very first things a household suffrage Parliament is likely to attempt, and one of the very few reforms which may in the future bring Lords and Commons into direct collision. Why should a landlord who finds shelter be able to distrain, when h baker who finds bread can only sue? Mr. Gladstone is quite right in disliking the bill, but hemakes . too much fuss, to speak plainly, about details, throws too much earnestness into his denunciation of evils inherent in the principle of the proposal, and not in its form. His magnificent intellect has sometimes a touch of ecclesiasticism in it, of that curious deficiency in perspective which makes clergymen fight vestments and similar trash with as much vehemence as the opinions concealed under the detested dresses. Nothing worries men more than the spectacle of grand energy expended on trifles, and nothing worries average Englishmen half so much. They would fret if Mr. Gladstone promised to continue the agitation for some grand constitutional object, but to continue it for the sake of abolishing a trumpery restriction which will abo lish itself, irritates them exceedingly. The writing table is very dusty, but if that confounded house maid would only let it alone It was, too, a grave mistake in tactics, to say the least of it, to scold the Liberal party so vigorously as Mr. Gladstone did. Shooting mutineers is sometimes good policy, or sentencing cowards to death, but for a General to publish an order of the day asserting in the midst of the conflict that his whole army is mutinous or cowardly is silly, and nothing else. Mr. Glad stone thinks, we dare say, that he has been badly treated by his party, and so he undoubtedly has been. They think him too liberal, and therefore support a bill which goes twice as far as lie did. If he had punished the recreants, had formally called on the constituencies to dismiss them, we might have demurred to his severity, but we could not have impugned his justice. But to punish the whole party is neither fair nor wise. After all, 250 members have followed him most loyally, many of them men who, like Mr. Grant Duff, follow only because they are loyal, not because they love their chief, and they at least deserved specific exemption from censure. Punishment on them is unfair, and on the remain der, though fair, is in this form at least unwise. Ridicule is a more intellectual weapon than slap ping, but ridicule never ma k es c hild ren b e tt er , a nd slapping may. A great army would not fight the better because its chief declared most of his soldiers ragged recruits, and a great party will not be the more obedient because it is compared to a squirrel, and warned not to run up a tree. The story is not a bad on e , th oug h o ld , an d M r: Glad stone told it very happily, but then the effect of it is to make the Liberal party in the House ridiculous, and it is not the business of a leader to make his own followers look small. Has Mr. Gladstone perchance a stronger instrument locked up anywhere in a cupboard, that he satirises the " Liberal party in the House of Commons" so mercilessly ? The writers of goody story books always make children love their " parents " very hard just after a whipping or a lecture, but Mr. Gladstone's ignorance of the world can scarcely be quite so deep as theirs. Mr. Gladstone may say that he is appealing from the Commons to the country, which on certain occasions is no doubt very wise policy, but on this occasion he has to make use of the Commons from whom he i s appealing, and they are not pleased, or likely to be pleased, with the double process. It is p l e asant to quiz on e ' s co ll eagues, p l easant also to ask their aid, but it is advisable, as most people think, to keep the pleasures distinct. After all, it is the members, and not the constituencies, who are to amend and pass this particular Reform Bill. The d nickname f astened upon them as a a Liberals cannot well be the more competent or the hmovreebhowillinguicrous to perform their t as k , b ecause th ey or because their chief t e ll s th em h e ex pects them to fail, and looks beyo n d th e m to th e country. All that only makes them sore, and sore men, more especially so r e men smarting under de feat as well as ridicule, do not make good soldiers. Mr. Gladstone may think it possible to sham them into discipline, but if he does, that only shows how little world. You cannot he Quarter Sessions i n t o any thi ng t obstinate, , and conduct, just are just like the riudincduelresta nds the Engli s h except anger and red faces, and the seceders —the Scotch boroug h members accepted, who jhuasdtiacesr,e just aso a nfor theirobs ready to be lieve that anybody who laughs in their hearing is necessarily laughing at them, The county mem bers, and eldest sons , an d brewing millionaires who have d eser ted Mr. Gladstone are as sensitive on s the score of their dignity as so many county magis trates, and simply resent the description which gives an occasion for laughter to every local enemy on the hustings. They do not expect their leader to call them squirrels, which is the way Mr. Glad stone's little parable will be used against them in their own neighbourhoods, indeed has been used al ready in the Owl. Fancy Mr. B ass as a squirrel in the printshops of Derby, and how he will love the great orator who gave the local caricaturist that hint ! Mr. B ass will not be unseated by the joke, and if he were to be unseated, his aid is required before his seat can be called in question. If Mr. Gladstone wishes to see the effect of such mistimed frankness and earnestness, let him think of the scene of Tuesday night, when he, on such ques tions the leader of a clear majority of the house, in fact the leader of the whole house, for everybody believes in his financial genius, could not introduce a slight improvement into the programme of a Revenue Committee. Nobody would support him, though there were probably not three Liberals in the llouse who disapproved his suggestion. Mr. Gladstone probably thinks it very hard to be lectured so much as he is by his own friends, but he must remember th a t hi s posi tion is absolutely exceptional. No other leader is possible than himself. If he will not or cannot lead properly, the party as an efficient political or ganisation ceases to exist, and power is thrown of necessity into the hands of men who c mnot be trusted in any one department except on some questions of foreign politics, and on those only be causs they happen to have among them a man of Liberal principles, Tory connections, and Whig definiteness of thought and policy. As a rule, the friends who tell us of our faults are enemies with a mask on, but when the coachman is driving into the ditch it maybe permitted even to the Box-seat to hint that there is a safer road. Humility, purity, earnestness, are all virtues, which never, even when in excess, become vices, but they may be exaggerated into foibles, and foibles are worse than vices in a leader of 'nen.

That the Assets on June 30, 1866, wore £1,619,539 14 8 And the Liabilities on the same date ... 1,313,708 19 2 Leaving a surplus of £275,830 15 6 and that, after setting aside £50,000 as a special Reserve Fund, THE AVAILABLE PROFIT was £225,830 15s. 6d., of which sum £225,000 was recommended for division. 3. As TO THE RESULTS OF THE DIVISION. That the portion of this sum of £225,000—viz., five-sixths, or £lB7,soo—which fell to the Assured, would yield a REVERSIONARY ADDITION TO THE POLICIES of £272,68'2, averaging 45 per Cent., or varying, with the different ages, from 32 to 85 per Cent. on the premiums paid since the last division ; and that the CASH BONUS, which is the exact equivalent of such Reversionary Bonus, would average 26 per Cent. of the like premiums. The Report explained at length the nature of the In vestments and the bases of the Calculations, the results of which, as above shown, are eminently favourable. The'next DIVISION OF PROFITS will take place in January, 1872, and Persons who effect NEW POLICIES BEFORE THE END OF JUNE NEXT will be entitled at that Division to one year's additional share of Profits over later Assurers. •Prospectuses, Forms of Proposal, the Report above men tioned, and a detailed account of the proceedings of the Bonus Meeting, can bo obtained from any of the Society's Agents; or of GEORGE CUTOLIFFE, Actuary and Secretary, 13, St. James's-square, London, S.'ff.

Strand. EXTRAORDINARY SCENE. The Bishop of Salisbury held his triennial Visita tion at Bridport on Thursday last, where there was a large attendance of clergy and churchwardens. The Charge consists principally of a vindication of these doctrines :-1, that certain men have had in trusted to them by God, as fellow-workers with Him, supernatural powers and prerogatives ; 2, that God had been pleased to give to these His ministers the power of so altering the elements of bread and wine as to make them the channels of conveying to the soul for its subsistence the refreshing body and blood of Christ ; 3, that as Christ, the ascended Lord, is ever pleading, so the clergymen, His min isters, plead on earth that which He pleads in Heaven ; and, 4, that God, who alone can forgive sins, hath delegated to them, His representatives, the power and authority of expressing to those fitting to receive it the pardon of their sins. He proceeded to say that there was a time to speak and a time to keep silence, and he felt that the time for being outspoken had arrived in his diocese, and he had, without any men tal reservation, God knew, acted on that conviction. At this point, the Rev. William C. Templer, the rec tor of Burton Bradstock, stepped from his seat into the aisle in front of the bishop, and exclaimed with much fervour, " I believe there is a time to speak and a time to be silent ; let those that are on the Lord's side follow me," and he turned and walked out of the church, followed by one of the church wardens. This created a profound sensation, and intense silence prevailed for a minute or two. His lordship manifested some emotion, but, recovering, he said, " I would only remind you that this is a court, and the clergy are bound to attend it, though their consciences are not bound to receive all they hear ; of course, a person may be punished for any contempt of court." He then resumed the reading of the Charge, but, before he had concluded, every churchwarden had left the church, and there were manifest signs of weariness among the clergy. In the afternoon the churchwardens held a meeting, and unanimously adopted the following address to the bishop : "To the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Salis bury :-I\ly Lord,—As churchwardens of the several parishes within your diocese we have this day at tended your triennial Visitation, and heard the Charge delivered by you to your clergy. Feeling that we have also responsible duties to perform, in endeavouring to preserve our Reformed Church from innovations and practices inimical to its pure faith, we avail ourselves of the occasion• to express our deep regret at some of the opinions and doctrines therein enunciated. We believe them to be at vari ance with these principles for which our forefathers so nobly and successfully struggled more than 300 years ago when they protested against the errors of the Church of Rome. Entertaining the highest pos sible respect for your lordship's personal character and office, we nevertheless feel it incumbent on us to assert our belief that unless a check is at once and promptly made both by clergy and laity to those innovations and practices which are alien to the feeling of all sound Churchmen, a considerable portion of those who are now sincerly devoted to the Establishment will be induced to withdraw to dissenting places of worship, or be insidiously attracted towards the Church of Rome, and thereby destroy the harmony and weaken the confidence which has so long and happily existed among them.—We are, respectfully, your lordship's devoted servants, (Here follow the names of 34 churchwardens of the Deanery of Bridport.) IRELAND. DUBLIN, May 18• his i sTa ot h wr i siotaodtnhni nu-igetesareoerep,:f the ir l Alfred Aylward was brought before Mr. Barton, at the Head-office, yesterday, charged with " being a member of the Fenian Brotherhood, and being one of eight men who unlawfully assembled for Fenian purposes at Charlemont-place, between the person who hours of 9 and 10 o'clock p.m. on the 16th instant, wwno a ai etu c chhne e neeod:rt and emtiha osneah edddew t i oeg i er m g:hnaotni e ntst. and being armed with a thgger - knife when arrested was snptoifiloirnceee mentioned. c . o a nt Accordings police-constable e 167 woundedßt o .

In a short time he and this man were J a de oso escape Seveniwnal a epad n e 9.3mb into a ccostedyefothers,na rt lalaas then field .4 a cab and drove to Mercer's Hospital to get his wounds dressed, three of the shots having taken effect. In the meantime, shortly after 10 o'clock that night, two young men went to Lad-lane police station, and told Acting Inspector Bennet that they saw about a dozen men near Charlemont-bridge, and beard shots fired, which one of them thought wer e aimed at himself. Immediate • • inquiry was made by a party of police, and they learned that a wounded man was gone to Mercer's Hospital. Con stable Richard Ryan went there and waited in the hall till Aylward came out, after getting his wounds dressed, when he arrested him, and found a large knife, or dagger, on his person. He said to the policeman, "Who sent for you? I have nothing about me, only a knife. Well, I'il go over to the station house and make a report." He was taken to the Lad-lane station, and being asked whether he knew the party that fired at him, he replied, " I am no Massy. I do not." He was remanded till Wednesday, the inspector promising to have by that time evidence to connect him w ith the Fenian conspiracy. This arrest may lead to important results. It will be recollected that Cody, who was fd guilty yes terday of treason - felony , had been acrested a short time before his trial in consequence of making a row in Grafton-street and threatening to shoot a police man. The pistol which he had was a seven-chamber revolver ; and he also bad a dagger which he wore fastened to a belt. In his possession was found a document containing a list of the judges, jury, and Crown counsel then engaged with the trial of Burke and Doran. When Cody was arrested on a former occasion he had an enormous bowie-knife " for ripping-up Saxons." An ill-looking fellow, whose physiognomy is almost enough to convict him, he was unaccountably set at liberty on condition of his going to England ; but it appears that he soon re turned, and, according to the statement of Corydon, •he was at the head of an assassination committee, or club, organised by Colonel Kelly's orders. I have seen the assassination document in question. 1 It is exceedingly well written, in the hand of a lawyer's clerk. I understand that it is being com pared with documents found in possession of the prisoner Aylward when formerly in custody. If it should be proved that he is the writer it would con nect him with the band of assassins. This circum stance helps to explain the mystery of the shooting ,~~~~ ~--~.

The pressure of steam was 351 b. and 601 b., and the vacuum 25.5 in. In testing the ves sel four half-circles were made in 1 min. 34 sec., 1 min. 20 sec., 1 mm. 33 sec., and 1 min. 30 sec. The circles were completed in 3 min. 10 sec., 2 min. 44 sec., 3 min. I 1 sec., and 2 min. 59 sec. The sailing Indiaman Windsor Castle, Captain Pryce, one of Messrs.

The troops will be disembarked from the Windsor Castle this morn ing at Spithead, and forwarded to the Royal 1 7 ":0- tonic Military Hospital at Netley. On Friday Major-Gen. Freeman Murray resumed and brought to a conclusion his first half-yearly inspection of the regimental depots of infantry regiments attached to the 3d Battalion, at 'Chatham garrison. In the morning the officers and men were drawn up in review order, when the arms, clothing, and accoutrements of each corps were in spected, the remainder of the day being devoted to the inspection of the barrack-rooms, books, ac counts, schools, and hospitals belonging to the Bat talion. With reference to the reported loss of the Wasp in Table Bay, we are authorised to state that Her Majesty's ship of that name was at Bombay, " all well," on the 20th of April last, and that no infor mation of any disaster having befallen her has been received at the Admiralty. It will be seen, on re ference to our news from the Cape, that it was a small vessel of the same name that was lost. A_ • 2-;: in. - ;'' Teller has four RAILWAY _INTELLIGENCE. An important meeting of the stockholders of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company was held in this city on Tuesday, April 30. The meeting was probably the largest ever convened to delibe rate upon the affairs of that great corporation. The committee to investigate the condition of the company made their final report. As the com mittee originated out of a spirit of hostility to the road, this report was anxiously awaited, and their conclusion, based as they are upon the most tho rough investigation, will be received by the great body of the stockholders with infinite satisfac tion, and will, without doubt, satisfy the most sceptical that our great railway corporation has been wisely and economically managed by Mr. Thomson and his associates. Cer tainly the results attained by these gentlemen during twenty years of uninterrupted prosperity should be, and doubtless are, satisfactory to the shareholders, for the road has paid annually since its organisation six per cent. cash to the stock holders, clear of all taxes, and in addition thereto, as stated in the annual report for 1866, over forty six per cent. of additional dividends. Can any other railway corporation of similar magnitude show as large dividends, and yet present to its owners a property and assets worth millions of dol lars more than they now stand the stockholders ? The Pennsylvania Railroad Company, we are informed, owns and controls, by lease and owner ship of stock, over fifteen hundred miles of rail way, all of which is connected and of the same guage ; is well equipped, with engines and cars, and contributes directly to the development of alarge portion of our State and the interests of our city. By referring to its reports, we find that the annual increase of freight traffic moved during the past five years has averaged nearly 20 per cent. per annum. It is truly a useful and magnificent corporation. The committee substantially endorse the whole policy and management of the company, thus pro nouncing the corporation to be in a sound and pros perous condition—indeed, much more so than the stockholders supposed it to be. We are glad to find our great corporation coming out of the trying ordeal, to which it has been subjected by its ene mies with such a clear and satisfactory record. Great credit is certainly due from the stockholders to Mr. Thomson and his able corps of officers and employes for the results attained under their ma nagement. We doubt whether there is another corporation of equal magnitude, in this or any other country, that can show equally good results. The Hudson River Railroad earned last year 18 per cent., and a better result is anticipated for the present financial year, which closes on the 30th of September. The four consolidated companies which monopo lise the transportation business in New Jersey under the name of the Consolidated Railroad board, held on the Ist January, of undivided earnings $2,250,000 against an aggregate debt of $11,250,000.
