METROPOLITAN GOSSIP-SATTJRDAY. I am not fond of murders : therefore, though "the Chelsea Tragedy" is the one subject of talk to-day with all Londoners, permit me to pass it by with no other reference than that the neighbourhood in which it has taken place is almost the last that the novelist would have fixed upon for such a terrible event. It is quiet and respectable, even to dullness. There are no slums or suspicious looking passages, such as make one look askance if walking by them late at night. Trimness and primness are the cha racteristics of the district, and yet it has been stained with a crime as horrible as ever took place in Ratcliffe Highway. This has been a satisfactory week in Parliament, so far as the Irish Land Bill is concerned ; but very unsatisfac tory as regards the Women's Disabilities Bill. The Ladies seemed to be in sight of the Promised Land, and just as they glimpsed it they are sent back into the wil derness. Mr. Gladstone's speech was most unsatisfactory. But Mr. Gladstone is not an obstinate man. He will, if he does not wear himself out before then, be open to conviction in the course of a few years, and our daughters will be enfranchised if our sisters are not. As for the Land Bill, the first and toughest half is over, and the part which remains, and the authorship of which is, by common report, assigned to Mr. Bright, will not take long to get through. The amendments now occupy only fifteen pages of the parliamentary papers, instead of about fifty, as they did some two months ago. More than three pages are filled by Mr. Morrison's amendments, and as he is not likely to press them to the embarrassment of the Government they at all events need not be expected to squander much time. Many other amendments are by supporters of the Government. Mr. Vernon Harcourt is one of the Government's candid friends, and so he means to ask Mr. Gladstone on Monday about the Royal Com mission on primary education in Ireland, concerning which there have been many rumours. But Mr. Gladstone is not likely to give much information. Irish land is enough for this session, as the Irish Church was for last; Irish education must wait till next year. If the rumour referred to be true, Mr. Lowe will find himself in as diffi cult a position in 1871 as he has been during the present ses sion, but for exactly opposite reasons. Mr. Lowe is a great Conservative in some matters, does not like the Land Bill, and has kept. almost unbroken silence upon it. In education he is a great Radical, and if, as is supposed, Mr. Gladstone goes in for denominational education in Ireland, it will be con trary to all the Chancellor's ideas. But it does not follow that he will on that account say so, or that his action will be in any way affected thereby. At last Sir Robert Collier has the opportunity of carrying out with the weight of Ministerial authority the reform which he has long advocated—the appointment of, public prosecutors. The matter is to be referred to a select committee, consisting of Sir Robert himself, Mr. G. Hardy, Mr. Harcourt, Mr. Russell Gurney, Mr. Bonham-Carter, Mr. Walpole, Mr. Hibbert, Dr. Ball, Mr. Downing, Mr. Gordon, Mr. Rathbone, Mr. Scour field, Mr. West, Mr. Staveley Hill, and Mr. Eykyn. New Ireland has appeared to-day. It is a well got up paper of sixteen pages—Spectator size. The writing is moderate. The projectors say that hitherto, while the Germans in London have had their Hermann, the French their International, the Scotch their London Scotsman, the Irish have had no organ. The editor knows nothing of party politics or religion. He cares not if a man be Liberal or Tory, Protestant or Catholic, provided he is true to Ireland and works for her. Fenianism is looked upon as a mistake, and Fenians are invited to give up their physical-force weapons and unite with those who are endeavouring to obtain a national Parliament. The " national vestry " at West minster has not time to attend to Irish ques tions (rather hard upon us after giving up two sessions to Irish legislation). The paper contains a tale, literary reviews, the first of a series of articles on the Irish abroad, and well-edited general news. Altogether, if this is to be a fair specimen of the paper, there is nothing to complain of in its tone. The proprietors of the Daily News are telling rather a different story respecting Mr. Dicey's resignation from that told by Mr. Dicey's friends. The proprietors say that he completely altered the tone of the paper with regard to several important subjects, especially the Emperor Napoleon ; that he dismissed several of the old editorial staff, and replaced them by inferior men, and that when asked to have a conference with the proprietors he gave it to be understood that he must not be interfered with. Whereupon he received notice to quit at once with the balance of the agreed salary for a year, so that he got twelve months' salary for nine months' work. The matter would not have been mentioned if Mr. Dicey had not given his own version of the matter. The proprietors now wish that theirs should be made public. In support of their account Mr. Frank Hill, the present editor, writes to the Spectator to say that he has never been un duly interfered with. I mentioned in a former letter that Mr. Spoffortb's place had been taken by Mr. J. E. Gorst, so far as regards election matters. It is now decided that Mr. Dickson will be the new solicitor to the Conservative party, a post also held by Mr. Spofforth. Mr. Dickson is a comparatively young man, but has for some time past been doing a very lucrative business. Salford does not choose to take all its news from its bigger sister Manchester, and so a new daily paper is to be started in the twin borough to be called the Salford Chronicle. It will be the organ of the extreme Orange section of the Conservative party. The jeunesse dor& at Oxford are getting too troublesome. Some fast young patricians at Christ Church have just been amusing themselves with breaking through a window into the library, and carrying out some valuable busts, among them one of the late Dean Gains ford, by Woolner, and putting them into a bonfire in the quad. When the thieves endeavoured to take the busts out they found these valuable works of art crumble into a heap of lime. A little while ago Dean Liddell's door and a statue outside it were painted red. Quite recently some of the same set fell upon the bugler of the rifle corps which was to meet in the " Tom " quad pre viously to marching to Blenheim, and threatened to duck him in the fountain. They then began to pelt with potatoes some companies of volunteers which happened to be pass ing, and set up a chorus of shouts and hurrahs as the band began to play. The Colonel threatened legal proceedings unless an apology were offered, and this was sent. For the first-mentioned offence it is expected that there will be a general rustication. JACKSON'S TRIUMPH. The Rev. J. Jackson, the vicar of Ledbury, who was recently convicted of immoral conduct in the Court of Arches, has returned to that parish, and was received with a great demonstration of opinion against the decision of that court. Several floral arches were placed across the streets, flags were suspended from many of the houses, and from 800 to 1,000 persons assembled, including a large number of the poor parish ioners. On his appearance at the railway station, cheers broke forth from the large assemblage. The rev. gentleman thanked his neighbours and parishioners for the kind reception which they had given him, even when suffering from what he, and he might say a large portion of the public, considered an unjust decision, the effect of which had been to reduce him to a state of poverty. BREACH OF PROMISE CASE. DAMAGES, £so.—ln the Bail Court, Miss Reeves brought an action for breach of promise against Mr. A dams, a civil e ngineer, living in W a l wor th-road. The plaintiff was a servant at Forest-hill, and in August last she went with the defendant from London Bridge to Forest-hill, and, according to plaintiff's story, defendant seduced her in the railway carriage. She afterwards visited the defendant, and ultimately sh e went to live with him. After being th ere for a few weeks, according to the plaintiff's evidence, she left because the defendant would not per form his promise to marry ; the defendant, on the other hand, alleging that it was on account of the plaintiff repre senting herself to the trad.esmenthat she was Mrs. Adams. Two sisters of plaintiff were called, and corroborated de fendant's promise to marry. The defendant (who was described by his own counsel as `• an ugly man ") did not deny the improper intercourse, and that he gave her money for it ; but he emphatically denied ever having made a promise of mar riage. The plaintiff indignantly scouted the idea that she had ever had any affection for the defendant, who was " perfectly blind ! " The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff, damages £5O. Amongst the Parliamentary papers published to day are Report of the select committee onthe Burials Bill, Index to the Report of the Committee on the Tramways Bill, and return of Expenditure for Diplomatic and Con sular Establishments in 1868. A meeting of card strippers and grinders has been held at Oldham, and has decided that the whole of the operatives of that town who are employed in the carding rooms should form a union to resist, as they allege, any encroachment which might be attempted. THE CHELSEA MURDERS. The details of the remarkable double crime just perpe trated in Chelsea are so far complete as to furnish some thing like a connected narrative of the affair. Up to Monday last an aged gentleman named Huelin, said to be a clergyman, lived at 15, Paulton's-square, King's-road, Chelsea, and with him lived Anne Goss, a woman a little over 40, who had for many years acted as his housekeeper. The murdered man had friends in Lincolnshire, and of late had told many persons that he should go down to a farm he possessed there for the benefit of his health. He was the owner of a house, which has of late been un let, in Wellington-square, Chelsea, a place some little distance from Paulton's-square, and, it appears, em ployed Millar, as a plasterer, without the interven tion of a tradesman, t i do the work requisite in maintaining the house in a habitable condi tion. The old man was not seen after Monday, and it was thought that he had gone to Lincolnshire. On Monday night the house in Paulton's-square was dis covered to be insecurely fastened, and the police entered. They found nothing disturbed in the house ; a large box was in the kitchen, locked, and a neighbour having said that it was " All right," the matter was only reported at the station. The house being found secure the next day, it was taken for granted that there was nothing wrong. The housekeeper was seen no more, but this appears to have occasioned no inquiry, and caused no surprise. The mur der, in fact, was discovered by an accident, and through the prompt action of one man. A van proprietor was asked to remove some goods from Mr. Huelin's residence, and on coming into the house, ino which he was led by Millar, he found a young woman, or one who appeared to be such. He was taken into the kitchen to remove a box, and on cord ing it he found beneath it a pool of blood. The woman escaped, but Piper was not to be thrown off his guard by Millar, whom he followed upstairs, and, with the aid of the police, captured. The box,as has been already stated, was found to contain the body of the housekeeper, Ann Goss. Such a discovery as this led to the suspicion that the old mad had been murdered, and a search was com menced. An inspector was sent off to Lincolnshire to see if the looked-for visit had been so hurriedly undertaken ; but, at the same time, a search was commenced about the two properties--that in Paulton's square and that at 24, Wellington-square. A token which confirmed the fear of foul play, was soon found be neath the kitchen floor of the Wellington-square house in a hat, battered, smeared with blood and mud, and bearing a mark as if the owner's head had been cut through from behind with a blow from the edge of a heavy shovel. The walking stick, too, of the deceased was in the same place. Men were at once employed in turning over the ground in all directions, but without avail. All sorts of likely and unlikely spots were turned over with the spade and pick, but no trace could be found of the body. Then intelligence came that Mr. Huelin had not gone to Lincolnshire, and the Inspector returned, bringing with him friends of the old man, whose death was now taken for granted. The labours of the men were, however, in vain, until Friday afternoon, when the terrible truth was discovered. A labouring man, who had heard of the crime, came to the police, and informed them that on Monday last he was engaged by Millar to dig a hole in the premises in Wellington-square, Millar saying that he wanted to lay some drain pipes down. The man was taken to point out the spot, and as soon as this knowledge was gained the work was soon completed. The body was found pressed down a hole near the drain, lying on the back, and the coat torn off from all parts but the wrist. It seemed as if the murdered man had been struck from behind with a heavy shovel, then strangled, if any life remained after the blow, and then dragged by the coat to the hole and thrust in, the gar ment thus, being beneath his head. The man who was employed to dig this grave states that Millar, on giving him instructions, made him burrow, as it were, beneath some paving stones, saying that he did not want the stones disturbed, and accordingly the grave was actually beneath some paving-stones, which bore every trace on the surface of not having been moved. Thus , the police were led to dig everywhere but be neath these stones. The body was removed to the Chelsea Workhouse on Friday evening. The grave was prepared some hour or two before the old man visited the house. It is suggested and believed that . the deceased man was induced to come to the house on some pretence, and that the murderer, having a knowledge of the intended visit had prepared accordingly. It is be lieved that the oh man's murder was compassed first, and the purpose being robbery, the housekeeper's death was then considered necessary, and undertaken for security by the murderer or murderers ; for it is believed the prisoner in custody has a confederate, if not confederates. Of this there is more than a suspicion. Property belonging to the deceased man was found upon the prisoner. The police have likewise examined Millars's house, and there they have found Mr. Huelin's will as well as several title deeds relating to his property. Some further particulars may be added. The murders seem to have been first planned on the 4th of April, when Mr. Huelin went to one of his untenanted houses, No. 24, Wellington-square, which was then being newly plastered and painted for re-letting. He there unwisely pulled out a handful of sovereigns in the presence of his workmen, as already reported. Monday morning last appears to have been the last morning Mr. Huelin was seen alive. He was then noticed going down the King's-road, from his residence at Paulton-square, towards his untenanted house in Wellington-square. He had, as usual, a favourite dog, and was also seen to turn into Wellington-square. In the course of the afternoon the dog was seen running home by itself, and at night was howling so piteously outside the door that the attention of the neighbours was attracted to it, and as no one opened the door to let it in they rang the bell, but could obtain no answer. On Friday night, at a very late hour, a woman, who has given the name of Elizabeth Green, was apprehended in St. Ann's-street, Westminster, on a charge of being con cerned with Millar in the murder.. She admits being in the house at the time Millar was taken into custody. One of the London journals says that the police have information which leads them - to believe that at least two other persons besides the man now in custody were con cerned in the murder, and that it was not merely a brutal murder for simple robbery. Startling revelations may, we are told, be anticipated ; but this extension of the story as yet rests upon no sufficient basis. FURTHER EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONER. On Saturday the prisoner Miller was charged at the Westminster Police Court with the double murder. The court and approaches were densely crowded by a large, and at times turbulent, mob. The prisoner was brought in the middle of the day from the House of Detention in a cab, still heavily ironed, as the authorities fear that, unless under considerable restraint, he will again attempt to destroy his own life, as he did when taken into custody on Wednesday night. He pre sented the dogged, unprepossessing appearance of Friday, combined with an excessively sallow complexion, sunken eyes and death-like hue of countenance, and looked per fectly hideous at some points of the examination, when the reminiscences of the crime were vividly placed before him in the evidence. He was allowed to be seated during part of the examination, and was excessively agitated on more than one occasion at the recital of the finding of the bodies. The woman who had been seen with the prisoner having been discovered by the police, was brought to the court at one o'clock to identify him, but fainted at the first glance she took of him. The first witness called by Mr. Superintendent Fisker was Joseph Coales, 194 T Division, proved the apprehension of the prisoner. He said : About ten o'clock on Wednes day evening last I was on duty in Paulton-square, when Piper, accompanied by the prisoner, came to the top of the square where I was standing. Piper said he had been employed by the prisoner to take a box away, and he believed there was something wrong ; he wished me to go down to the house with him. We walked down to the house, the prisoner in the middle. When we got to the house the prisoner would not come in ; when I found he would not come in I told Piper to send for another con stable. He sent his man for one. About three minutes after the man had gone, prisoner became very restless, and could not be quiet, and he began to walk backwards and forwards past the houses, and I kept close to him all the time. I told him he could stand still, and when another man came to go about his business. I said that to make him quiet. About three minutes afterwards, as we walked to Dawers street, he suddenly made a a bolt, pulled off his hat, and threw it away. I pursued him in company with Piper, and called " Murder " and " Stop thief," both of us as loud as we could. He ran to the bottom of Dawer's street to Lombard-street, where he was re-taken. I then saw him to the station. I had nothing to do in the house. I kept by the prisoner with orders of the inspe-c -tors. I searched him at the station, found £lO in gold, 9s. 9d. in silver, and sid. in bronze ; corkscrew, 2 knives, pipe, pencil, spectacles, and case, three gloves and a common ring, an abstract of a title deed for 24, \Veiling ton-square Chelsea, rent-book, silk handkerchief, two envelopes, to Miss Goss. The title deed was produced, and was covered with coadulated blood. Mr. John Carter identified the body of the deceased, Ann B. Goss , also her spectacles found. He said : I'm not clear when I last saw her alive ; about four or five days previous to this. The kitchen was the room she occu pied. I saw the woman in the box. I never saw the box before. Prisoner replied to the magistrate, on asking if he would put a question, in a husky voice, and said "No " with a broad Scotch accent. Sidney Ball, sworn : I am a baker, and live at 200, Fulhum-road, at Mr. Sinfield's, the baker. Was in the habit of serving the house, and was there on Monday morning last ; I did not see the old housekeeper. I saw her last this day week at half-past one. I was there on the Monday between twelve and one ; I did not see her then. I rang but nobody answered. I saw Mr. Huelin, too, on the Saturday. Sergeant John Large detailed the finding of the body of Mrs. G oss i n the box as stated in his evidence before the Coroner. James Smith was called to prove a threat against the deceased by the prisoner having regard to the rev. gentle man's and the old lady's money, and his desire to possess it. Inspector Dareton, 7th division, said the prisoner was brought to the station and put in the dock. He was searched and the articles produced taken. The blood was on this deed in the left hand coat pocket. The constable said he had run away, and he had some trouble in catching hi m . The money and keys, and a bottle were found in his pocket broken to pieces. A cork was in the neck, and the moment I said it ,vas a poison bottle the prisoner fell over the front of the dock, and I sent for Dr. Goderich directly. I had him laid on his back in the receiving room, and the doctor stayed some time with him, and then he was taken to the hespital. Air. Fisher said that was all the evidence in that charge, and he would now proceed with the murder of Mr. Huelin. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAI , MAY , 16, 1870 Edward James Payne, a labourer, said : I know the prisoner. He came to me last Monday at half-past twelve, and engaged me to dig a drain in Welling ton-square. The spot I .after pointed out to the police. In the back yard I dug it, and he sent me away in an hour and a half, and told me the house was let ; and after that we left the house, just as it turned half-past two. I was to meet him next morning, but I did not find him. I went on the Tuesday . and Wednes day and Thursday, and did not see him. He never paid me ; nothing was said about payment. He had whiskers then and fair moustache ;it has been dyed since. I shewed the spot to the police where the hole was dug. It further appeared from the evidence of this witness that Miller, on giving him intructions, made him burrow, as it were, beneath some paving-stanes, saying that he did not want the stones disturbed, and accordingly the grave was actually beneath some Paving-stones, which bore every trace on the surface of not having been moved. Thus the police were led to dig everywhere but beneath these stones. _ _ _ - After some further evidence, the prisoner was again re manded until the latter part of next week. He was sent to the House of Detention in a cab, an enormous crowd having gathered to see him depart. His wife was in the building. TT-TE "GENTLEMEN " IN WOMEN'S ATTIRE. On Saturday afternoon Park and Boulton, the young men charged with personating women, were again ar raigned before the sitting magistrate, Mr. Flowers. Mr. Poland appeared for the Treasury ; and Mr. Besley and Mr. Straight defended. Mrs. Martha Stacey, at who house the defendants had lodged at 13, Wakefield-street, Regent's-square, was cross-examined by Mr. Besley. She stated that she had never observed any impropriety with them, and they con ducted themselves orderly. Chaniberlayne, a policeman, came to her house and asked if two gentlemen were there who dressed in female attire, and he told her they were in custody. She did not ask for his warrant when he searched the rooms. He went to a box and took out some female cloth ing. Her mother remonstrated with him, and he said he should do as he thought proper, and would take them away and sell them if he thought proper. There was a photographic album, and he took out what photographs he thought proper—about twenty. He said he had a right to lock the door of the room. Inspector Shenton also came to her house with reference to giving evidence, and she was also examined at the Treasury Office. By Mr. Straight : Had known Park about two years. From that time till taken into custody Park had lodged at her house about a dozen times. From August last year till February in this year Park wore a moustache, and during the whole of that time she did not see him in female attire. About twenty-four days and not more he stayed at Wakefield-street. She had heard laughing and making fun of dressing up in f e m a l e c l o thing, and she thought it was fun. There was nothing immoral or filthy in their conduct—certainly not. By Mr. Poland : She did on one occasion open the door when the brougham came. She did not know that the coachman asked for Mrs. Parks, but she knew they were men. She never heard Boulton refer to Parks as his sister. By Mr. Flowers : Had seen theatrical programmes about the room. Inspector Shenton said on the 29th of April, Chamber layne, the detective, shewed him some photographs and letters. They searched the two rooms on the ground floor at 13, Wakefield-street. and took away some wearing apparel. The list of articles produced was the same. There were sixteen dresses, some satin, others corded silk, white glac6, and pink dresses, a Japanese silk, blue satin tunic, morning and evening dresses, various sorts of skirts and petticoats, crinoline, coats and jackets, cash mere and other jackets, kid and side spring boots, seven chignons; two long curls, ten plaits, and a grey beard, two pairs of garters, a bottle of bloom of roses, about a pound of wadding for padding, and a bottle of chloroform. He also produced a quantity of photographs and albums, which were of a similar description to the others, and simply represented the defendants and ethers dressed as females. By Mr. Straight : Have heard that chloroform is used for the toothache. By Mr. Poland : And bloom of roses for the cheek ? (Laughter.) Witness : The photograph produced is that of a man dressed as a female, with the initials "E. B." at the back, and not concealed. Mr. Poland was about to read the letter, when Mr. Besley and Mr. Straight objected ; but Mr. Flowers over-ruled the objection. Mr. Burnaby then read a letter dated the Bth of April, signed " Louis," addressed to "My darling Ernny," in which the writer requested Boulton not to grow his mous tache before the next time they met. Two other letters, dated the 13th and 17th of April, were read. The latter referred to his feminine appearance, and intimated as long as he continued as he did, and went about in " drag" so much (meaning dressing in women's clothes) his mous tache would not have a chance. Mr. Flowers thought the letters merely contained words of endearment, as " darling- Ernny " and " loving Louis." One expression was favourable to them. _ Mr. Poland then read a letter dated the 20th of April, likewise addressed to Boulton, alluding to his living in " drag," and remarking, what a wonderful boy, and ex pressing a wish to come to London to see him in all his magnificence. (Laughter.) Mr. Poland then referred to the question of bail, and observed that as the charge resolved itself into one of conspiracy to commit a felony the magistrate would have discretion. He urged a remand without bail. After the reading of the third letter, Mr. Flowers de cided on refusing bail, and the defendants were again remanded for another week. THE COLLISION BETWEEN THE ONEIDA AND THE BOMBAY• Some official correspondence and documents relating to the collision between the United States corvette Oneida and the steamship Bombay have been presented to Par liament. The most important item is a note from the Board of Trade to the Foreign Office. In this note the course taken by the Board of Trade is fully summed up by Mr. Shaw Lefevre. Ile says : —Lord Clarendon will observe that the' statutory duty imposed on the Board of Trade under the circumstances, is that of reviewing the sentence passed by the naval court upon Captain Eyre for a breach of the 33rd section of the Merchant Shipping Act Amendment Act, 1862." From the replies which the Board have made to the applications of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, and of Mr. Eyre, Lord Clarendon will see that in the performance of this duty the Board have expressed their opinion that, not only is the conclusion of the court concern ing Captain Eyre's conduct after the collision justified by the evidence, but the sentence of six months' suspension pronounced by the court is inaduquate to the gravity of the offence. Lord Clarendon will also see that the Board of Trade entertain a very strong opinion concern ing the obligation upon masters of ships which have come into collision to stand by and render assistance to each other. And they have expressed in no measured terms their condemnation of conduct such as that of which Captain Eyre has been found guilty. At the, same time they think it important to remark that such conduct was for the first time made punishable in this country by the act to which I have referred. And, so far as they are aware, no other maritime nations have any law by which such an offence, if committed by the captain of one of their own ships, could be punished at all. Look ing, therefore, to the matter in an international point of view, it appears that British law compels the . performance by masters of British ships of the duties in question, whether towards British or foreign ships, by means of a sanction which no other nation enforces against its own shipmasters. The Board of Trade have not power to re open an inquiry which has been terminated by tin decision of a naval court, except for the purpose of mitigating any sentence which the naval court may pronounce, nor would it be within the scope of their functions as a de partment of Government to take civil proceedings against the Bombay or her owners on behalf of the sufferers by the collision. The only.proceeding which it would be possible for her Majesty's Government to institute in any such case, would be a criminal proceeding against the master or crew of the ship causing the collision 'for culpable negligence or misconduct leading to loss of life. Such a proceeding, however, being penal, must be supported by distinct and conclusive evidence ; and the Board of Trade would not be justified in attempting such a proceeding in the present case, unless reasonably satisfied that it could be proved that the colli sion in question was due to culpable negligence or misconduct on the part of the captain or crew of the Bombay. Upon this point, however, the decision of the Naval Court is entirely favourable to the Bombay ; and the Board of Trade, as at present advised, see no reason for thinking that decision wrong. Not only, added Mr. Lefevre, was there no reason for doubting the justice of the Court's decision, but the best professional opinions were in favour of that decision. It is, however, within the power of the United States Go vernment to raise the question by a suit for damages against the owners of the Bombay. In such a suit the issue would be raised in the form most favourable to the Oneida • and the civil courts which would try the case would be in no degree bound by the decision of the Naval Court at Kanagawa. Mr. Newdegate's motion for the appointment of a select committee to inquire into monastic and conventual establishments has brought up 868 petitions to Parlia ment, bearing 282,366 si g natures, against the nomination of the committee; and 969 petitions, bearing 251,927 names,in its favour. For repeal of the Contagious Diseases Acts, 345 petitions, signed by 230,436 persons, have been presented. For giving votes to women there have b een 377 petitions bearing 126,760 signatures. THE PURCHASE OF THE COLISSEUM.—An action has been brought in the Court of Exchequer, arising from the sale of the Colisseum, in the Regent's Park. The plaintiff, Captain Maillard, held a lease of it, and Mr. Thomas Page, the well-known civil engineer, entered into an arrangement with him to form a company to open it as an opera house. A bill of exchange for £5,000, payable in six months, was given by the defendant as an earnest of his intention to carry out the agreement. The efforts to form a company eventually failed. Mr. Baron Pigott held that the non-formation of the company, did not prevent the payment of the bill within the meaning of the agreement, but left the jury to say whether the defendant was able to meet it when it came due. The jury found that he was not able to meet it. The learned judge directed a verdict to be entered for the defendant, but gave leave to move. THE FRENCH PARLIAMENT. The Senate resumed its sittings on the 12th of May, M. Rouher was in the chair. The President proposed that the different committees should be named. M. Chevalier called attention to the importance of the measure concerning the postal treaty between France and England The President pointed out the difficulties of the case in the present aspect of affairs, the old constitution having been virtually put aside, and the arrangements for the Senatus- Consultum not being completed. He therefore advised the postponement of the bill until the new state of things was formally established. The Legislative -Body also sat the same day, M. Schneider in the chair. M. Raspail was in his place. The drawing of the bureau took place. The President said that France was impa tient for the official proclamation of the late vote on the Plebiscite, and he proposed that the Deputies should meet the next day to examine the results of the election. M. Pelletan desired that they should have a public sitting for the discussion of the bill on the press. Before the proceedings terminated the Govern ment was asked concerning the purchase of the Roman remains by the State, to which the Minister of the Fine Arts said he must decline to give an answer.

DISTURBANCES IN PARIS. The numerous arrests which have been made in. Paris, amounting to 558, seem to have deterred the rioters from making any further attempts. Great difficulty is expe rienced by the throngs of curious idlers who press to the spots where the disturbadces have taken place. As many as three thousand have been noticed wandering about. The Faubourg St. Antoine looked like a fair, a significant sign of the tranquillity of the public mind, was that the soldiers passed in an out of their barracks without attracting any hostile demonstration. None of those arrested can hope to be let off, for the police made no prisoners until they had gone through the necessary• legal forms of inquiry, and thus they are guilty of the offence of conspiracy to rebel lion. The authorities desired, by adopting this course, to check any serious 'disturbances which might have ensued from the excitement produced by too much severity, and also to lessen the number of preventive arrests by limiting their prisoners to those guilty of decided outrage of the law. The experiences of the preceding months led the authorities to charge each police-agent who made an arrest to make an inquiry and an interroga tory of the accused in a s'immary manner, and to put down the chief points of the affair. According to the old system, on the morrow of any outbreak the prisons were crowded with a medley of persons, of whose offences, names, aLd homes the police were alike ignorant. The numerous investigations that were requisite took up a great deal of time, whereas by the new method of proceeding, each prisoner was brought to the Prefecture with his history well known. The result will be that nearly all those lately arrested will be tried im mediately. About forty of the chief offenders will be kept back, they were found provided with aim; that they had fired off, wounding soldiers and private individuals. The inhabitants of Belleville were very zealous in their efforts to render assistance to the police, and many of the pri soners were handed over by them to the soldiers. ASSASSINATION OF A PRINCE. The further details of the tragedy which has just occurred at St.' Petersburg throw little light on the mysterious murder of Prince Louis of Arenberg though it appears to be now believed that the; t was the motive of the murder, several articles of jewellery belonging to the Prince being missing. It will be remem bered that the Prince, who was military attache to the Austrian Legation, was found murdered in his bed. He had two servants, a valet de chambre and a groom, who had both been with him for several years. The groom, on the night of the murder had gone out on leave to assist at a diplo matic entertainment. The house in which the Prince resided, occupying the grond floor of it, has two entrances, one of which leads to the yard and stables, the other opening on the street. The night porter opened this, the Prince's servants the other. On Friday, May 6, the Prince told his valet to call him at half-past seven. On Saturday morning the groom, returning from the party about five o'clock in the morning, knocked at the door opening on the yard, but could get no answer. He then went round to the other door, and was let in by the porter. The groom went to bed undisturbed, and at half past seven the valet went in to call his master. He was much astonished at the confusion prevailing in the room, and as he did not see the Prince in the bed, which was turned upside down, he was frightened, left the room hastily, and called the groom and the porter, with whom he returned to his master's bed. Then they found the Prince's corpse under the pillow cases and blankets ; life had been extinct some hours ; the body was tied to the bed by the ropes torn down from the blinds ; the legs were firmly tied with a shirt twisted and knouted ; the mouth and the nose were covered with a neckerchief tied tightly over them. Sub sequently it was discovered that the neckerchief had be longed to one of the murderers. Count Chotek, the Austro-Hungarian Minister, was sent for at once ; the chief of the police was already in the Prince's bed-room. From the information received, it seems that the Prince of Arenberg returned home at half-past two, coming from the Yacht Club. According to his custom, and to prevent his servants from waiting up for him, he had let himself in by the door open ing on the yard, which he shut after him. He did not usually lock the door of his apartment, nor the door of his bedroom. It seems also that when his valet went to bed he did not lock the entrance of the corridor leading to a door opening on the yard. Therefore, access to the victim's bedroom was easy. The state of the body led to the supposition that the crime had been perpetrated about half-past three in the morning. Either the Prince was in his first sleep, or reading a newspaper found near his bed. Nevertheless, from the state of the room, it is evident that a serious struggle took place. The lamp was thrown down, and the contents of a matchbox were on the carpet. It is very likely that the Prince was thrown upon his bed, where he was gagged and strangled. A Moujik, Gouri Chickshow, has been arrested on serious suspicion. He cannot explain how he spent the night from Friday to Saturday, and rouble notes, with blood-spots on them, were found on him. Prince Louis of Arenberg was the son of Prince Pierre, of Arenberg, and of Princess Talleyrand de Perigord. He was born in 1837 and he was a twin-brother of the Prince Au_gustus. He was major in the Austrian regiment of Hussars, and Chamberlain to the Emperor of Austria. His eldest sister, Princess Mary, is married to Count Charles de Merode. The Prince, at the time of the murd er , was i n t en di ng t o make an excursion into the Caucasus with Colonel Blanc, the English military agent. He had already taken leave of his friends for that purpose. A man named Friney has been arrested on suspi cion of attempting to assassinate Mr. Shields. The crime is supposed not to have been agrarian. A REVOLUTION IN SOUTH AMERICA. - The steamer La Plata, just arrived at Lisbon from Rio Janeiro, states that a revolution has broken out in the province of Entre-Rios, The President, General Urquiza, had been assassinated by a band of 300 men, led by General Lopez Jordan. The Argentine Government were send ing troops to the scene of action. THE PRETEIpED PROCLAMATION.---The Siecle and the Temps have persisted in their assertions that the proclamation for the publication of which some of the Irreconcilable journals were seized is an authentic one, and in proof of their veracity say that its original is in the Imperial Bibliotheque, and that it was never denied by its supposed author, or the other hand, the Patrie declares that the proclamation is a false one ; but in answer to the above charges explains that a copy of all printed matter is taken to the Imperial Bibliotheque, and that the appearance of the docu ment in question in such a place is no proof of its genuine character. It proves that it has been published, but nothing else. As for the denial of the proclamation, that was done im mediately in the most public manner. So soon as he heard of this document, whose signature was ascribed to his cousin, Prince Napoleon, who was at Paris at the time he wrote to the different journals to declare that the work was a forgery. Prince Louis Napoleon could not deny the statement himself, because he was in England at the time, but the prompt contradiction of his cousin answered every requisite end. INVESTMENT IN AMERICAN RAILROADS. The Public Ledger of Philadelphia contiiities its attack on the " wild-cat" railroad bonds offered by American sellers in European markets. The sub ject of investment in American railroads is one of general interest on this side, and deserves careful consideration. The points advanced by the Ledger are therefore worthy of close attention, and may be thus briefly stated.. The test newly located railroad will not earn six per cent. on its cost in less than five years—some of the projected works thousands of miles beyond any traffic, and indeed beyond civilisation, will not doso infiftyyears if they are carried to completion, and not abandoned in despair from the utter hopelessness of any return of profit whatever. Many of the enterprises have no cash capital in them as a base for loans ; and all the risk, therefore, falls on the mortgagee. Those who have resuscitated some of the wild Western railway enterprises are careful not to invest in them any money of their own,but become, instead of rail way-makers, eager bondsellers, and that leviathan borrower, the Northern Pacific Railroad, makes the modest proposition to transatlantic capitalists for a loan of $100,000,000 on long and " very pro mising" bonds without a dollar of paid-up capi tal, or having turned a shovel full of earth towards the formation of the road. The Ledger stea dily opposes the large land grants ; as tending to alienate to monopolists the national domain rightfully the inheritance of coming generations; and the Northern Pacific is as great a " leviathan" in its cry for American land as for European cash ; in fact, it wants to have many countries to sell. The supports for the superstructure of the Ledger are these two—the improbability of railroads con structed in the FA West paying, at least within many years ; and the impolicy of large laud grants. Putting aside the alleged dishonesty—the "rings" within the companies, as asserted by Senator THURMAN—these are what remain ; and they have no more right to be accepted because the Ledger says so, and the Philadelphia correspondent of the Times backs the assertion, than , have the state ments of the bondseller, except in so far as the one may be disinterested, and the other may not be so. The run is against the Northern Pacific Railroad, but it is openly maintained in the Senate that against the projected line all the weighty influence of the Union Pacific Railroad is thrown, though that is denied by a Nebraska Senator ; to say the least, it is probable ; and the Union Pacific Railroad in itself embodied everything brought as a charge by Senator THURMAN against its Northern rival. It was projected and constructed by a 4 , ring" without means, who made its members the contractors, and built the property for themselves, by themselves, extracting from the work a large profit, and all at the cost of the nation in general and of the bondholders in particulars The "ring " made their fortunes even to that scatter-brained indi vidual, GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN. But who lost ? Here was a railway ring selling bonds without any "money basis or a shovelf all of earth " for a line through the farthest and wildest part of the far W est, thousands of miles from civilisation, which has proved one of the most remunerative properties ever constructed. Nor that only ; for it has conferred great public benefit, on the nation more especially but on the world as well ; yet there is not a charge advancedby the Ledger against the Northern Pacific which could not with truth have been ad vanced against it. One of the accusations brought against the Northern Pacific in particular, and the far West lines in general, is the inducement for immigration, the plots, and models of towns, the Edens pictured in the howling wilderness of Da cotah and Northern Minnesota, and the through tickets offered. It is on this point that the whole argument breaks down. Railway construction in the Far West and settlement, essentially go hand in hand ; and it is because the railway promoters will promote immigration also that the Government accord these land grants, and on that justify the concessions. Divorce the two, and the Ledger is right ; but let the two work together, and the Ledger, we do not hesitate to say, is wrong. Take the Kansas Pacific, and mark the effect of the line towards Denver City as it progressed. Civilization seemed to roll on with the revolving wheels of the cars. We grant that a demon preceded its course, a most extraordinary conglomeration of Western devilment ; but on behind came the peaceful and industrious settlers in daily increasing numbers till, like a pent-up pond when the flood- gates are opened, immigration poured up the valley, turning the howling wilderness into a scene of life and bustle, of rising towns, of ploughed fields, and droves of cattle. What does the Philadelphia Ledger say to this?—which, we assert, after the Union Pacific, to be the railway which most boldly thrust itself into the wilds where the Indians roam, and no civilization was near. Is the statement then correct with which the Ledger set out as to the earn ings of the best newly-located rail roa ds ? an d are th instances quoted as the experience of European capitalists in the Atlantic and Great Western and the New York and Erie applicable? The Erie, as every one knows, is a fine line, running through the most populous of the States, and having its terminus in the metropolis. It would pay handsomely if its earnings were not intercepted ; and it is no fault of the enterprise, but of those who manage it, that it is not profitable to the proprietors. Much the same might be said of the Atlantic and Great Western ; and we venture to predict that both will eventually prove in a high degree paying concerns. But it is not against such enterprises that the Ledger writes, although it has to go to them as instances; and we take this in itself to be a proof of weakness, for surely a great and well-informed journal like the Ledger, if it had any good and well-authenticated cases in point, would have brought them forward. While, therefore, the Ledger fails to support by illustration its assertion, we give two remarkable instances in refutation. Nor do we believe that the Ledger, or Senator THURMAN, or the Philadel phia correspondent of the Times, appreciates the movement now going on in Europe towards what the last calls " the howling wildernesses." There never before existed anything like the emigration now becoming general over this continent, and by what is it mainly induced ?--by constructing Western Railroads through the waste places, whereby a poor family is put on an available estate. The en terprise with which these undertakings are in the United States carried through has been a main cause for the worlds having given the Republic the preference, and men in vain point to countries as possessing greater advantages where the land is as cheap and plentiful ; they are all passed unheeded, the steady and increasing tide flowing freely to the Far West ; and when the Ledger speaks of a railroad not paying under 50 years, it drops that steady, un exaggerated tone so peculiar to it. What will be the case in the United States fifty years hence is beyond human ken, but some conception of what is going on there may be formed from this simple fact that up the narrow valley of the Kansas the immigrants pass at the rate of 2,500 daily, and we ask our readers to glance over HEPWORTH DIXON'S account of his travels through that country four years ago to get an insight into the astonishing changes. Let those who have au old file of the New York Herald turn back to the state ments of that paper, when men began to talk about connecting New York with San Francisco by rail. The Herald jeeringly suggested a tunnel to Europe or a communication with the moon ; never theless the lure has been formed to the benefit of all, except perhaps the Pacific Steamship Co., which it has run out of existence, or rather diverted it from a San Francisco and New York Company, via Pa nama, to a San Francisco, China, and Japan Com pany; and a singular thing, too, and we wish our readers to note this fact, to the benefit of the very undertaking which forced the change, and we fully believe the result vs ill prove of the P.S.N. Co. as well. We ask our readers to note this fact, because it affords a proof that what kills in Europe, but spurs in Ame rica. The field is so open, the yield in reward of well-directed enterprise so abundant, that projects here termed wild are there feasible; and we maintain that a rich harvest will be reaped by judicious European investment in Western enterprise, though great care should be exercised in the selection, and no statements accepted on the mere words of those, who have bonds to sell or on the statements of the papers which have*an object to serve in crying them up.—Anglo-American Times.

A TALE FRO\I CHILL A horrible story of brigandage reaches us from Chill' Don Gomez y Lagoberon, a famous bandit captain wh i e ' from his fastnesses in the Sierra Brofunda, has long c 1.5, fled the Chilian authorities, was recently pursued, the brigands under his command, by a body of trooPsi which succeeded in cutting him off from his followers, a n driving him to take refuge in a cavern situated near th e summit of one of tile lofty mountains constituting tn above-named range.

After two days' blockade, however, the soldiersgre , , weary of so tedious snd humiliating an ex p e die n t, so they improvised an escalade of the robber-chieftian's strong hold, and succeeded in capturing him.
