SPIRIT OF THE PRESS-THIS MORNING. ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL. The Times observes that it sounds very likea reproach to thin great nation that it should still be necessary to make 4tl appeal in behalf of the grandest of our national edifices the Cathedral of St. Paul. The appeal is made, or rather h aving been made twelve years ago with very partial suc cess, it is repeated more emphatically, distinctly, and bon - e- ""y• The British people are invited to finish St. pa te 's• We used to be told, indeed, that it was begun in 16 75 and completed in 1710, under one architect and one builder : and this brief period of 35 years was favourably contrasted with the centuries spent upon rival structures. But that St. Paul's ever was completed at all is an invm i°,ll„ of the bookmakers.- At the last mentioned date, Z . -u, poor Wren was a disappointed, baffled, indignant, b ut still indomitable man, with his portfolios full Magnificent designs and careful specifications or the completion of his masterpiece and his country's pride. He no more thought his work t he than an English gentleman does when he has finished 6 e ,___walls, roof, and flooring of his new house, and when cs„ 4 -aews the most difficult and, costly part is to come. c 24-1 OW dark ! how dismal ! how monotonous !" are the `rd ejaculations offo the tourist fresh from St. Peter's. 1-Pther criticisms. a more purely architectural character, he is likelyy to offer, but we may listen to him where it Ls Possible to improve. The appeal before us. tells us v. - iutt is to be done, if we would remove a national disgrace, a nd justify the pride with which we rank St. Paul's nong the giants of architecture. It is no honour to have havelt a gf•eat church and not to be able to finish it, or not the heart to do so. It is no honourto possess a mag teent shrine and hardly know how to use it. We may say at once that to give the Cathedral its fair and Ilecessary complement of marbles, mosaics, coloured glass dd mg, metal work, and other decorations would cost at :least a quarter of a million. There is, however, scope for be goo deal more • and on the other hand, it would Wise to concentrate our interest, and do part of the work the Choir, as Wren himself would have d one it. say WANING GLORIES OF HYDE PARK. The Post declares that so far as the idle and the fashion able are concerned, Hyde Park appears to be losing F e atly in p o p u l ar ity, and this season chews a marked fa lling off, as compared with former seasons, in the favour awith which it is viewed. This desertion of the once accustomed lounge is due in a great measure to the fast Pace of London life. There also happen to be especial reasons why the Park should be less popular this year t han usual. Th e works which are in progress in the bed oc t the Serpentine have been ingeniously so arranged that Wnealn-engine is found running within a few yards of the „I de, and of course putting forth puffs and - „,..___'"leks such as no horse can hear without t wa'rca and which daily produce an amount of rr,_aruig and plunging not a little alarming to behold. The flower-beds with which the eastern end of Rotten t„ew has h een embellished are more insufficiently tended :tau ever, and the Ride itself is so little cared for, at while a shower of rain makes it a quagmire, a fine r . day makes it a hard, iron causeway. Finally, there t'as been more misunderstanding this year about the b and. Wh e th er th ese drawbacks are sufficient to explain t he undoubted falling away in the glories of the Park we not pretend to say; but that they have some influence laPon it is at least probable, What it is held can be done thin fo r the Central Hall of Arts and Sciences could, we must be much more properly done for the Park itself and if a strip of a corner were taken off and sold, not for a nominal sum, but for its real full value, the produce W 4l. ° lll d be sufficient to make the rest a creditable resort for 11 ,, e weary Londoner. It is not too much to ask that some "'lug at least should be done to effect this most desirable SPAIN AND HER KING. Notwithstanding the disorganisation inseparable from pepoch of transition, these last two years, thinks the rnes, are cleargain to Spain. hr ßeligious tolerance, emanci- Dation by law from priestly taldom, popular education, 410 :1 the development of great material prosperity are among the most immediate results of the late change. The v ery promptitude with which the Madrid Government has lately been able to rescue the English captives from the hands theg near Gibraltar speaks volumes in praise of ascendency the central authority exercises in the re .aotest provinces. It is only a strong Government that u 3 able to establish a free Government, and of the firm ness of Prim's hand we require no better evidence than L has given in the many serious emergencies wh i c h h e "ve arisen at too frequent periods during his tenure of office. It is only in this matter of the King's election that Prim seems to us to have acted an inconsistent " l ig, Perhaps, not very ingenuous part. There is much in What Prim has done that may be looked upon as mere out his part ; but now let us hope the play is fully payed, and that serious business alone is henceforth to be attended to. Let the kingdom be set in order ; the Ong will come in his own good time, and as a matter of course. Nor is to so very difficult to imagine who the Ittg is ultimately to be. MR. GOLDWIN SMITH. The Standard says that Mr. Goldwin Smith , f rom his safe retreat in the Cornell University, seeing in a work of fictionby Mr. Disraeli the character of an Oxford pro fessor, of overflowing vanity, of intense bumptiousness, 11 restless arrogance—shallow, conceited, and a social parasite," makes haste to put on the cap, Vying out lustily, " That's me !" Not content with rendering thi s t r ibute to the keenness and truth of 'lt Disraeli's portraiture, Mr. Goldwin Smith resorts to foul language, and in the opprobrious terms rop er to the angry victim of satire, retorts that Mr. „ israeli is a " coward," and avers that his aspersions are Stingless insults." This is not the first time that we have seen the man most prone to venomousness and c urrility horribly sensitive to any attack upon his own character. No man ever abused another with so much recklessness, bitterness, with so much pertinacity, with so recklessness, as Mr. Goldwin Smith has abused r r• Disraeli. He has exhausted every resource and cvice of vituperation in the personal objurgation of a inan who could be known to Mr. Goldwin Smith °I IIY as a political adversary. We shall not venture to _eProduce the shameful and insulting epithets which Mr. Goldwin Smith, out of his prolific vocobulary, has at a l'ious times applied to Mr. Disraeli. There is scarcely any Crime of which a politician could be guilty, scarcely VA' baseness with which a gentleman could be charged, ' lOl Mr. Goldwin Smith has not imputed tither directly or indirectly to Mr. Disraeli—either speech or in writing. Mr. Disraeli's sole reply t" au this long course of vituperation—of vituperation un paralleled in modern political history—was in a con silence, broken only once, when he alluded to ' 146 ex-professor as " that wild man." THE HOUSE OF LORDS AND THE IRISH LAND BILL. The Rouse of Landowners, says the Telegraph, has on re assembling, to discuss a bill which in several respects i7olutionises the rules for the tenure and use of land ,„ 4 , l 'erte accepted everywhere in the United Kingdom ; the bill is presented to it by statesmen with 110111 an actual majority of that patrician as- Benablage has no political sympathy. Yet nothing is mo re certain than that the Lords will pass the great 'measure of the session, the Irish Land Bill, substantially as it h as l eft the Commons. In a political no less than in a social sense, its urgency has been admitted by them all; &I if one or two members, representing honest but eccen ""e individualism of opinion and conduct, should be dis tosed to carry t h e i r prejudices against certain provisions i ° the length of endangering the bill as a whole, it the Opp osi Certain,tion tha but the t not thou onl ghtful statesmen the resonsi e leaders of , • the nobl e order and the true judgment of the times, would shrink from so grave a defiance of public l i e , li tinient—from so arrogant a denial of the wish de b nerately expressed by the nation. It may, then, -a. anticipated that the course adopted by the Upper 'Louse will be, in the highest sense of the words, patriotic t 1 , (1 tbrudent. Possibly a natural leaning to well-estab t 84e CL principles in social and political economy may die thea• te introduction of certain amendments, practically i f il favour of the ladlord. though nominally designed to iirther freedom of contract and to discourage litigation. v lit it is very unlikely that such alterations will be extra agent in their scope—or that, if opposed by the Govern ent and the Commons, and deprecated by . the avowed of the sister country, they will be maintained with heedless obstinacy. SUGAR DEALERS. u The Daily News says that Mr. Crawford has resolved th e appealing to the House of Commons to treat large dealers in sugar with equity. A con cession has al rea dy been made. The sugar-refiners h ave be en a l lowed a part i a l d raw b ac k, while those r„h o , like our correspon d en t s, h ave l arg e quantities of ",,g a t in the p rem i ses of these refiners are refused all tT o r i9 ensation. It is urged. moreover, that many firms of l arge stocks because they relied upon the assurances w o Chancellor of the Exchequer that they be d be fairly dealt with in the event of th? duty 1, 1 , 11 g reduced. They affirm that their grievance is thir bL'ensified. We cannot but think that the whole case is O e i ( s l oil some misunderstanding. The Chancellor of the "euequer may often say some harsh things, but he is too astut e bly • a man to persist in doing unwise ones. He proba ,,_ ;will not require much pressure to induce him to re the dissatisfaction which he has occasioned. The Pr e t tr l icY is that which gives no person any reasonable for alleging that he suffers unduly in order that ethermay be satisfied. ~.o u Apr rAL PuNisilmENT G ERMANY.—Dr. F. von lzendorff, Prof essor o f L a w in the University of Ber .itr ,in a l e tte r to Mr. William Tallackt the secretary o f to e th ri ° ward Association, London, writes, in reference the e I \ 7 oruniform imposition of the new pe i l code . on ll th Gernian States :—" I consider t na i mpossible to an,37 11 -h e ,. any man in the states of Saxony, Oldenburg, Prior —el:n en, where capital punishment was obolished th ee - to the. promulgation of the new dode.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL C U RT.— (THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice Blackburn.) THE CHARGES AGAINST PARK AND BOULTON. This day Frederick William Park, 22, clerk, and Ernest Boulton, 23, clerk, were arraigned on several indictments, which alleged conspiracy with others to commit a certain offence with each other, conspiring to induce others to do the same, and for that, they being men, unlawfully did conspire and agree together to disguise themselves as women, and to frequent divers places of public resort so disguised, and thereby openly and scandalously outrage public decency and corrupt the public morals. The Attorney-General and Mr. Poland, instructed by the Treasury, prosecuted, and Mr. Sergeant Parry, with Mr. Besley and Mn Straight, for the prisoners. Mr. Montagu Williams watched the case for Mr. Haxell, the proprietor of the Exeter Hotel, Strand. The Grand Jury found a true bill on the previous after noon against Lord Arthur Clinton, William Summerville, Fisk, Cummings, Louis Hurt, Thomas, and Park and Boulton, and on the application of the prosecuting counsel, Mr. Poland, warrants were ordered by the learned judge to be issued against those on whom warrants had not been previously granted. Both prisoners, who looked very pale and weak, pleaded in a firm but low voice Not Guilty to all the indictments. Mr. Sergeant Parry said he had an application to make for the postponement of the trial till next sessions. With reference to the indictments, several charges of a serious nature were made against the prisoners, which had been very indistinctly made before, and of which the defence had not had clear notice, and in fact was in a state of ignorance un til the indictments were read. As to the charge for misde meanour, he for the first time had heard of its nature, and as the indictments had been but cursorily read, he apprehended that that would be a sufficient reason to show that the counsel for the defence were embarrassed in their own minds as to what the precise nature or quality of the indictment was, of which they had never heard before. The Attorney-General, in reply to his lordship, said that he had well considered the case, and thought no other persons were indicted, that in the interest of public jus tice the trial should be postponed. He had looked over the additional evidence which had been adduced, and he considered it then to be his duty to direct indictments to be preferred against other persons already named, and under all the circumstances surrounding the serious charges against the prisoners, and in the interests of the public, he should not object to the postponement of the trial, understandig it to be on the application of both pri soners. Mr. Besley then applied on behalf of Louis Hurt that he should be admitted to bail without surrendering. Mr. Justice Blackburn—That must be the result of another application. He should surrender first, as a war rant is already out against him. The amount of bail could not be entertained then, as both sides would have to beard in that respect. Mr. Besley—But Mr. Hurt is not keeping out of the way at all. He is seen from day to day by Superintendent Thompson, who has charge of the case, and there was only one indictment against him. Mr. Justice Blackburn—The Attorney-General states that if bail is allowed it must be to such an amount as to secure the attendance of the parties, and that question could not well be discussed in an open Court. The appli cation can be made to the judge, when counsel would be heard on both sides, That is the general principle. His Lordship then ordered the postponement of the trial till the next sessions. is said, e whole of the mintain .ifiiages scion in ndment said its ne fora' sent the Finance nested ndatent ugh the ten into all tile it, and r of the will be yd s has asce nt as the t would reach ed and his L for he n track he level ed.

Yesterday the debate was taken on M. Raspail's motion, and M. 011ivier said it was not allowable to call into ques tion the sincerity of the soldiers' votes, and that the Go vernment could not permit the discussion of the vote on the Plebiscite. M. Gambetta's motion, expressing dis satisfaction with the explanation of the Minister of War with respect to the 61st Regiment, was rejected, and the Chamber passed to the order of the day. THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT ON THE GREEK MASSACRE, During the debate en. the Budget in the Italian Senate, Signor Manicani questioned the Government as to the course pursued by the Government with respect to the Greek Massacre. He complained that England had been more exacting than Italy. The minister in reply said that the Italian Government had demanded two things from Greece—the punishment of the guilty and an inquiry into the conduct of the authorities. It was difficult to cure evils resulting from past mismanagement, but the task demanded of Greece by the civilised world was not beyond a people who desired regeneration. In reply to a question relative to the position of France and Rome the Minister said that he believed the French policy had not changed. The policy of the Italian Cabinet with respect to the Council was to respect the liberty of the Church while reserving the rights of the State and of civil society. The Government had not joined the remonstrances addressed by other Powers to the Roman Court. of the advantage of free trade if admitted Universally among nations, looks with - alarm on the exclusion by a hostile tariff of British manufactures from foreign coun tries, and considers that the present commercial policy de mands investigation." Mr. Leach again atttempted to gain a hearing, but was hooted down. It was then pro= posed by the conveners of the meeting to adjourn it to the 30th instant, but the first resolution was declared to be carried by 500 to 1. The meeting, which was the noisiest ever held in Leicester., closed with passing a vote of confi dence in Mr. Paget, the Liberal candidate for South Lei cestershire. IDENTIFICATION OF FENIAN ARMS. Mrs. Coveney, on whose premises the seizure of arms and ammunition was made on Tuesday by the Cork police was brought up at the police-office yesterday. Mr. Morton, a gunmaker, identified a gun found as one of those carried off from his shop by a party of Fen i ans in 1868. The box, gun, case, and flask, belonging to Captain Magnay, Royal Engineers, and bearing his initials were produced. The articles were stolen by supposed Fenians in 1869. The case was adjourned. THE LYNN ROYAL REGATTA. Lynn royal regattawas held yesterday. The weather was ' fine and the number of spectators large. Samson beat Jones for the Lynn championship. Lady Margaret rowed over for 'the eights match. The Alexandra Club rowed over for the Members' Plate. Close, brother to the amateur champion at Cambridge, won the championship of the Ouse. He led throughout the race and won by four lengths,Goldie being second. De Grey's boat capsized at the start. The Grant% Challenge (eights) Sixty Guinea Cup was won by First Trinity (Cambridge), Lady Mar garet being second, and Jesus third. Outrigger fours for the Prince of 'Wales's prize of 25 guineas—Jesus (Cam: bridge), 1; Corpus, 2; Trinity, 3. The Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University yesterday morning made known the following award of Gaisford prizes :—Prose composition, J. H. Godley, Balliol College; Proximo accessit, G. E. Jeans, Pembroke College ; verse composition, W. S. Gibson, Balliol College. At the Druids' (A. M. D.) Lodge, held at Sunderland yesterday, a resolution was carried nearly unanimously to support the Government bill, which proposes to abolish the office of Registrar of Friendly Societies, and transfer the powers to the Board of Trade. The affairs of the other were discussed during the remainder of the day. The delegates were entertained at a grand banquet in the evening at Newcastle, the Mayor presiding. TOO MUCH COTTON AND TOO LITTLE CORN. From the accounts of the Southern papers, in relation to the prospect of the crops on the second week in May, it seems that the universal complaint at some points is that too much land has been planted in cotton and too little in corn, so much so as to warrant the prediction that from present appearances " cotton seed will have to take the place of corn for man and beast next fall and winter." This is unfortunate. Before the war it was the great mis take of the South to be obliged to buy from year to year the actual necessaries of life and rely for payment thereof upon the growing staple, and when the crash came she was like an unprovisioned garrison, filled with brave men with empty stomachs. The South must rely more upon her own fields for her breadstuffs and provisions and less upon the grain and bacon of the great West. If a lesser breadth of cotton be planted the price of the staple will be correspondingly increased, in consequence of a dimin ished supply, and in any event, provided in the meantime plenty of corn and grain be plmted, they will have plenty of food for man and beast without paying five-fold for the same to the West and California. The danger of the South in the future lies in having too much cotton and too little corn.—New York Herald. Mr. Alexander M'Call, superintendent of the Cen tral District of Police, Glasgow, has been appointed a chief constable of that city. The Messrs. Mansell, of the Lyceum Theatre, have had an offer to go to America and introduce opera bouff6 into that country, founded on Lyceum experience. And they are going?—London Figaro. The Liverpool Mercury says a local firm (Messrs. R. Price, H. Thompson, and J. Reynolds), engaged in the provision trade, has suspended payment with liabilities exceeding £lOO,OOO. It is also said that a Liverpool bank is a creditor to the extent of £6,000. Mr. Charles Head, the well-known book-maker, had the misfortune to lose a number of cheques while at Tattersall's, or leaving there, on Monday. They amount to upwards of £6OO in the aggregate, and are in various sums, all stopped at the respective banks. Mr. Head, by eradvertisement, liberally offers 220 reward for the re covy of the cheques, which are of no use to anyone ex cepting the owner MISS BATEMAN.—The brilliant engagement of this gifted lady is announced as concluding on Saturday, June 25. Those who have and those who have not seen her great impersonation of Mary . Warner will alike be eager to avail themselves o f the brief period yet remaining to enjoy an impersonation pronounced by all who have wit nessed it the most natural and touching picture of womanly devotion the stage can boast. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Paul were on their way to Montreal to fulfil an engagement at the Theatre Royal, but on applying at the Troy (New York) station for tickets to that city were told by the officials that passengers were not allowed to enter Canada for the next day or two, and that they could only issue tickets as far as the frontier. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Paul have therefore been compelled to relinquish their engagement, and Manager Buckland has an empty theatre this week. A. dock labourer, named (Gorge Bradley, 22 years of age, attempted to murder a man named Patrick Barnacles, in one of the booths at the wakes at Tranmere near Liverpool, yesterday. Barnacles had engaged in a " sparring competition " with another man. Barnacles having proved victorious, the supporters of the opposite party broke into the tent. Bradley, who was one of them, drew a knife and attempted to cut Barnacles' throat. Bradley was taken into custody with his brother, Daniel Bradley, who handed his brother the knife. There is every prospect of Barnacles' recovery. Another Indian delegation, composed of Spotted Tail, Swift Bear, and other harmonious chiefs of the Sioux tribe, are on their way . to Washington to meet the Great Father and Red Cloud—a deadly enemy. It behoves our Indian Commissioners at Washington to make matters and things intelligible to those bloody-minded chiefs with out any delay, and to keep them away from Washington whiskey, or else we are likely to hear " the gentle war whoop of the savage, the cheerful report of the pistol and the pleasant cry of the victim," right under the shadow of the capitol.--New York Herald. ANNEXATION.—Tho news from San Domingo, shews that the project of annexation finds favour with all classes of the community, save the foreign merchants, who desire to preserve their monopoly of the trade of the island. If the pending negotiations break down, the island will at once be plunted in all the horrors of civil war. Since our own interests and those of the people of San Domingo coincide so thoroughly, would it not be well to settle this business at once, and so conclude a bargain which we certainly could never have reason to repent ? New York Times. THE REPRESENTATION OF EAST SUFFOLK. — Sir Alexander Shafto Adair has issued an address to the electors of East Suffolk who supported his candidature during the late contest. He attributed the Conservative victory to " the employment of coercive influence," and expresses his belief that all impediments to free voting will, however, be removed before the next general elec tion, by the adoption of the Ballot into the electoral system. Sir Shafto adds :—" Meantime I need not a dvise you to watch - the Registration, knowing how carefully and with how much patience, the district committees have worked." SUSPECTED MURDER NEAR BECCLES. — Much excitement was caused in the town of Beetles on Tuesday morning by the report that the body of a woman had been discovered lying in a pool of blood in a lane about one mile out of the town, leading to Ringsfield Church. Whit-Monday was the annual fair at Beccles, and among the country people on their way home on Tuesday morning was a man named Fisher and his daughter, who live in the parish of Rings field. When about a mile out of the town, in a lonely lane that leads round to Ringsfield Church, they came upon the body of a woman lying by the side of the path. Fisher was at first under the impression that the woman was asleep, but after a short examination he discovered that she was dead and covered with blood, and hastened back to Beccles, where he informed Inspector Cole. Inspector Cole procured help, and after a short delay, the body was conveyed to the police-station in a cart, where it was identified as the body of a young woman, about 25 years of age, named Elizabeth Chenery, who lived at Ditchingham, but had visited the fair on the previous day. There were no wounds or blood on the body or head. A man named Jacob Ling, a coachmaker, who was known to be acquainted with the woman, has been apprehended by the police, and is now in custody. It is suspected that he knows something of the matter, as his coat and boots were bespattered with blood. He is said to have made some statement to the police, which will probably be given at the coroner's inquest. DUNVILLE and Co., Belfii`st, are the largest holder, of whisky in the world.

Walter Millar was indicted with the wilful murder of the Rev. Mr. Heulin and his housekeep3r, Mrs. Ann Boss. —Mr. Poland, before proceeding with the case for the pro secution, said an application had been made yesterday for a postponement of the trial, and the reasons given were then not considered sufficient to justify such an arrangement. He understood that his learned friend, Mr. Collins, who defended the prisoner, was quite unable to proceed owing to the brief time he had been instructed. He had no desire to pres.; on the prosecution under such circumstances ; as justice would not suffer, he was quite ready to agree to the trial standing over until July Sessions. The learned Judge then consented to the trial standing over as required. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) MURDEROUS ASSAULT BY A HUSBAND ON HIS WIFE Samuel Jackson, aged 43 years, of No. 44, Cornwall street, St. George-in-the-East, was charged at the Thames police-court, with murderously assaulting and wounding his wife, Martha, who appeared in a weak and deplorable condition. According to the woman's account she and her husband has led a cat-and-dog life for a long time, and he was in the practice of using her scandalously. Last night she was out with her husband, a workmate of his, and his mate's wife. They were drinking rather freely, and the prisoner threatened his wife, who ran away from him, and went home. The prisoner returned home at a late hour and beat his wife. He also knocked her down and kicked her on th head, and she was conveyed in an insensible condition on a stretcher to the station-house. She was stabbed on the left hand with a knife by her brutal husband a short time ago, and had ever since lost the use of it. The hand and arm were bandaged. Richard Jealous, police sergeant No. 14 K, said the woman was in a " pool of blood " when he first saw her, and lying insensible on the floor. She was bleeding profusely from a wound on the nose and another on the forehead, and if he had not sent for medical assistance promptly she would have died. He found a knife, nail, and key on the prisoner. The wound on the forehead appeared to have been inflicted with a sharp instrument. Mr. John Kinnan, assistant to Mr. Daniel Ross, Divisional Surgeon of Police, said there was an incised wound on the bridge of the nose, reaching down to the bone, and he believed it was done with a sharp instrument. The woman was faint and weak from loss of blood. The injury on the eye was caused by a blow or kick. The eye-ball was not injured. The prisoner in defence said he had received great provocation. His wife was an habitual drunkard, and had frequently sold the goods to procure strong drinks. She had also broken up the things at home and once hit him on the arm with a poker, and disabled him. The prisoner was committed for trial under a recent statute for unlawfully and malioiously wounding his wife. ROBBING A COUNTRYMAN.—Rebecca Mars was placed before Mr. Arnold, at the Westminster Police-court, charged with robbing a man named Gilbert, who had but the night previously arrived in London from Grantham. The prosecutor was looking for lodgings in Westminster, when he met the woman, who said she could direct him to a respectable place. He went with her as he was not sober, but when he awoke in the morning his watch and money were gone. The magistrate said it was a very stupid thing for a man to do. The prisoner was remanded. ROBBERY AT THE ST. JAMES'S HOTEL.—Rowland Wil liams, porter at the St. James's Hotel, No. 77, Piccadilly, was charged before Mr. Knox, at the Marlborough-street Police court, with stealing a portmanteau and contents, of the value of £3O, the proporty of a gentleman named Pownell. Henry Orpin. hall porter at the St. James' Hotel, said that on M onday morning about 10 o'clock a gentleman brought a portmanteau and the luggage to the hotel, and about one o'clock he saw the prisoner take it out of the hall and return immediately without it. Mr. Wall and the porter of the hotel proved seeing the prisoner go into the hotel with a portmanteau, the pro perty of Mr. Pownell. A detective constable said he had been to the prisoner's lodgings and found some property which he believed was the stolen portmanteau. The prisoner was remanded. NATURALISATION TREATY The Foreign Relations Committee of the American Senate have opposed the Naturalisation Treaty between the United States and England which has lately been negotiated.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] - Holloway's Pills and Ointment —Palpitation of the Heart, Shortness of Breath.—These distressing affections frequently arise from indigestion or a relaxed state of the nervous system, and may be thoroughly overcome by a course of these corrective pills. When the throbbing of the heart and feeling of suffocation on making any slight exertion harass the patient, Holloway's Ointment should be well rubbed, twice a day, over the pit of the stomach and 'right side. It will soon bring out a rash, and on its appearance all anxiety and every unfavourable symptom will be miti galed. The use of the medicine should not be discon tinued until the patient has been for some time free from palpitation and other attendant inconveniences. THE DUKE OF MONTPENStER.

Telegrams received at Lloyd's this morning from New York state that the report of the loss of the Dacia is un true, advices having been received from her at Bermuda up to June 2nd. The following news appeared in our First Edition pub ished at Eight o'clock this morning (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) SPANISH BRIGANDS KILLED. Intelligence was received at the Foreign-office last night from Mr. Layard, stating that the brigands who captured the Messrs. Bonell were waylaid on their return with the ransom by the Spanish Civil Guard. Three out of four were killed, and the capture of the fourth is expected. Mr. Layard also believes the ransom to have been recovered. Other accounts state that the brigands near Gib ral: ar have at►empted to capture two English officers. In this attempt they were fortunately unsuccessful, as the Civil Guard came to the rescue and captured one of the brigands after a skirmish. It is said that the Governments of England and Spain are making arrangements to prevent Gibraltar from becoming a resort of brigands- 7 a precaution which appears to be necessary. The large amount of ransom demanded and agreel to iu the case of the Marathon prisoners has possibly stimulated the avarice of the brigands in Gibraltar, as they appear to have an especial fancy for capturing Englishmen. Mr. Bonell Senior has arrived in the vicinity of Cadiz. PROTEST IN THE COUNCIL. The opposition in the Council have addressed a strong protest to the Pope, complaining of the a; bi trary course adoi ted, whereby fifty Fathers were prevented from speaking on the dogma of Infallibi lity by the sudden closing of the general discussion.

That the meeting protested against the establishment of denominational schools out of public grants as a violation of religious equality ; and that no grant of public money should be made to any school which did not permit the absolute withdrawal of a child during the time of religious education.

A congress of delegates from co-operative societies in all parts of England is being held at Manchester this week. A proposal to establish a co-operative bank to receive deposits from stores and distributive societies, which it was reported were in possession of large surplus capital for which they could not find remunerative and safe investment, and to lend sums to productive societies, which, it was also stated, were in many cases straitened in their business for want of capital, has been the subject of much discussion. The tone of the conference was almost unanimous in favour of this proposal, and yester day a resolution was adopted, approving it, and expressing the feeling of the meeting that the present is an oppor tune time to establish the bank provided sufficient capital can be raised, and remitting the matter to the executive for further development. Although no resolution has been adopted on the subject, an universal feeling has been expressed in favour of the extension of the produc tive societies. To-day a letter from the Bishop of Man chester, expressing himself in favour of co-operative farming, was read and received with much applause. FREE TRADERS AT LEICESTER. Last evening a meeting convened by the Manchester Reciprocity Association was announced to be held in Leicester, but long before the time for commencing the proceedings the hall was taken possession of by the friends of free trade, who had been invited to attend. A chairman was elected in opposition to the one proposed by the conveners of the meeting. Incessant uproar pre vailed, and Mr. Leach, a working man, of Staleybridge, and Mr. Wheelhouse, M.P., Leeds, the deputation, who were limited by the chairman to ten minutes each, were unable to make themselves heard. Only the friends of free trade were granted a hearing, and a resolution was proposed " That in the opinion of the meeting the commercial policy inaugurated by Cobden and Bright had been on the whole a great blessing to the working classes of this coun try ;" and the meeting condemned most strongly any approach towards the old policy of protec tion.

JEWEL ROBBERY ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. . _ Considerable • uneasiness has been caused among the officials at the Carlisle Railway Station by the disappear ance of two boxes of jewellery in course of transit from Birmingham to Mr. Fritschler, jeweller, Carlisle, per the London and North-Western Railway. One of the boxes contained two gold watches and the other 14 gold rings. No clue as to the thief was obtained until a lad, about 13 years of age, a message boy in the station telegraph office, named Norvel, confessed, on being interrogated, that he was the pilferer of both the boxes. He had stolen the boxes containing the watches first, and after abstracting one watch had burned the box. He, however, persists in saying that there was only one watch in it, and it is thought that he must have burned the other watch along with the box. He hid it on the railway bridge at the end of the station. As to the rings, he had appropriated one which fitted his finger, and he then threw the other thirteen away. Eleven of them are still missing. Other felonious acts have been traced to the boy, who has been at times sent from the station to the Central Post-office with telegrams and the money to pay for them. Instead of taking the messages he has destroyed them and appro priated the money. SUICIDE THROUGH BETFING An inquest has been held at the College Arms, Crown dalo-road, Camden-town, on the body of Charles Carlton, aged 35, a waiter at the St. James's Hall Restaurant, Regent-street. Charles Cartman, a friend of deceased, said the latter was crying last Sunday night, and had evidently something on his mind. De ceased would not tell him then what was the mat ter, but promised to do so on the Monday. Witness never saw him again alive. Arthur Hare, who lodged at 74, Drummond-street, in the same room as deceased, said he appeared very much disturbed on Sunday night, and continued alternately walking up and down the room and writing till 3 o'clock in the morn in g . On Monday night witness found the room door locked, and being requested to burst it open did so, when he found deceased hanging from. the cupboard door by a rope. From the subsequent evi dence it appeared that deceased first cut his throat with a razor, which did not have the desired effect. He changed his shirt, putting the bloody one in the dirty linen basket, and then proceeded to hang himself. Inspector Char wood produced a letter addressed to Mrs. Slingsby, in which he said he had lost all his money on the races (the Derby and the Oaks), and in boat-racing, billiards, and gambling-houses. In a second letter, also addressed to Mrs. Slingsby, the said, " Things may turn out different from what they were when I lived with you. My brother will pay all my debts. I owe at Drummond-street 19s. 3d. I hope and trust in the Lord he will pardon me, for no one else will in this world. Address to my brother, John Carlton, Newby-hall, Ripon, Yorkshire. I cannot my payments meet, so Ido this act." Inquiries were made for the brother, but he had left the address given four years. The medical evidence showed that death was caused by suffocation. A verdict of " Suicide while of unsound mind" was returned. The marriage of the Marchioness of Hastings with Sir George Chetwynd, Bart., was solemnised this morning, at St. James's Church, Piccadilly, in the pre sence of the Marquis and Marchioness of Anglesey, Vis count Sydney, Lady North, the Misses Chetwynd, and a brilliant assemblage of nobility and gentry.

Cushnie, not being aware that the weapon was loaded, took aim ,at the head of his com panion, and, drawing the trigger, lodged the contents of the piece in Hutton's forehead. NEGRO CADE I S —ln the judgment of the military authorities, the elevation of Senater Revels was a less momentous step in the advance of the coloured race than the apparition of a negro cadet at West Point. If reports speak truly the enterprising coloured lad may expect to have something more than the stated curriculum of our military school to pass through, and the resolute expres sion which appears to be visible on his countenance will probably find occasion to be deepened should he succeed in commencing his studies. Let us hope that the scruples of the officers in command will not unduly affect the seve rity of the preliminary examination, since it would be difficult to explain why a race that has shown its fitness to occupy the bar, the bench, the pulpit, and the seat of the legislator, should be debarred from military com mand.—New York Times.
