The success of the Foreign and Colonial Government list, which was formed in Moy, 1868, has called for an :tension of this mode of inve.st mont. In compliant,., therefore, with a general desire, it has been determined to open a suliscript ion for a second issue not exceeding .£600,010, in (lertiticates ofCP, to bear 5 per cent. interest, to be issued at £BO. The object, winch is now well understood, is to give to o Investor of moderate means the same advantages as 4e , tarp clpitaist, in diminishing t he risk of investing in ~reign cod Colonial Government Stocks, by spreading Rio investment over a number of different Stocks, and ,serving a potion of the extra interest and the amounts ceceived in redemption as a Sinki ng F und to pity off the - . original capital ; and, in addition, to give to each Sub ti - .Tiber a p ro rit'a participation in th e u l t i mate reversion in ' ( 'Llieso different Stocks. which will remain when the return if the original capital has by these means been accorn- Asher,. The Trust of the Second Issue will last for twenty-five at the expiration of which time it is estimated hat 'argo proportion of tho Certificates will, iu all probabi have been paid off, and that it large proportion of the will still remain for ilistriLutioa as a reversion ; ingly the Trust w ill t.e wound up as soon as all th e Acmes have been drawn, or at the end of twenty-five , whichever shall first happen, the remaining Stocks then sold, and any Certificates not previously drawn \ first paid off, after which the balance will form the len to be distributed pro rata. each £BO of the total amount subscribed will be J a Certificate of £lOO with Coupons attached, bearing cent. interest, payable at the Banking-house of m. Glyn, Mills, Currie, and Co. half yearly, • on - the of Jauuary and the 15th of July, the first Coupon for BEST MATERIALS, BEST STYLES BEST WORKMANSUIP, and LOWEST PRICES, at E. MOSES and SON'S. Every description of Clothing ready-made or made to measure, hr all ages, all occa sions, and all classes, at E. MOSES and SON'S. For the convenience of Ladies accom panying their Sons there is a separate de partment for "Boys' Clothing, and it is fur nished with a splendid assortment of Suits, Overcoats, and Clothing for all occasions, inciuding, all the favourite designs and the most fashionable materials. Orders by Post are attended to with care and punctuality, and the easy and accurate system of self-measure introduced by E. MOSES and SON enables them to guarantee a faultless tit. the proportion of the half year falling due on the nth July next. lir addition to the Interest Coupons, a Coupon, repre senting the share accruing to the Certificate-bolder in the above reversion, will be attached to each Certificate. This Coupon of Reversion will be retained by the holder when the Certificate is drawn, and entitle him to a pro rata divi sion of the ultimate reversion. The advantages of the investment may be summed up as follows: 1. interest at £6s. be. per cent. on the 'amount sub scribed. 2. A bonus of £2O per cent. by the repayment of capi tal at par. a. A reversion, eventually divisible among the holders of the Coupons of Reversion. Application to be made in the annexed Form, accom panied by a deposit of £lO per cent.

If ever there was a question which deserved the patronage of the Ministry it is the public prosecutor question. Everybody agrees that serious offences, affecting the welfare of the whole community, should no longer be allowed to take care of themselves. Even Conserva tive ingenuity has been unable to declare a vacuum to be an institution, the lack of a public prosecutor to be a sacred right without which the constitution would be as nought. Perhaps no topic of the day is treated with greater unanimity. The last few years have been fruitful in miscarriages of justice through this deficiency; for though a murderer or other cri minal of the ordinary gross stamp may be readily brought to book, we have of late been favoured with many fine samples of the commercial evildoer—a class of men for whom no gcol provision existed, and con earning whom it was difficult to tell whether they were regular criminals or only unassailable rogues. At the conclusion of the memorable Overend, Gurney, and Co. trial, Chief Justice Cocliburn directly expressed a hope that no time would be lost in supplying the much-needed want. And yet the bill to provide for the appointment of public prosecutors makes its appearance as an independent measure. It is backed by the respectable but unofficial names of Mr. Eykyn, Mr. Vernon Harcourt, and two other private members. Thus there is some ground for anxiety lest this bill may not get through the House of Lords in time. The question is simply one of opportunity. If the Government had taken the matter in hand, the result would have been more secure, whereas under present circumstances the customary ill success of private bills leaves room for doubt. The measure itself affords little ground for re mark. The second part provides for the appoint ment of public prosecutors, who are to be nominated by the Secretary of State, for districts having a separate Court of Quarter Sessions, or for any one or more of the petty sessional divisions of a county, the district of the Central Criminal Court being specially dealt with. The prosecutors are to be solicitors or attor neys of at least ten years' standing, and are to be no minated for five years, the appointment being renew aT)le. No public prosecutor can be a clerk of the peace, or a justices' clerk, nor can he engage in any criminal case within his own district. A. bar rister of not less than ten years' standing may be ap pointed as a circuit counsel. In the first part of the bill the powers of the public prosecutor are set forth. He may take proceedings at his discretion in the case of a felony or misdemeanour, the costs of which are allowed by law. He may also carry on prosecutions, the costs of which are not allowed by law, provided the person accused has been com- mitted by justices, or a true bill has been found by a grand jury; but the public prosecutor cannot origin ally commence proceedings, unless by the direction of a law court, or a member of the Government. He may withdraw from any prosecution, if there is no sufficient ground for proceeding with it. The circuit counsal is to act as a referee, and to decide difficult points to which the public prosecutor may feel himself unequal. Lastly, in order that great cases may not be left wholly in the hands of small men, the Attorney-General can assume the direction of any proceedings that may appear to require it. These stipulations seem amply sufficient to secure the end in view. Hitherto, in nume rous cases where there has been reasonable suspicion of crime, the offence has escaped inquiry, simply through the want of a functionary to take the initiative. It has been open to private indi viduals to do so, and of all the absurdities characteristic of our noble institutions this proviso was the most glaring. If a private individual were aggrieved, it did not remedy his grievance to revenge himself upon the offender to whom the loss was duo. A prosecution was expen- - - sive and troublesome, and it always placed the pro- - - - secutor in a somewhat invidious position. It is not, indeed, seemly that 'criminal proceedings should be conducted by injured parties. The object of punish ment is mainly to deter others, and as the whole community gains in this way, so the whole com munity ought to assume the duty of prosecuting. Nor is there any just ground for the apprehension that the objectionable features of the French system of public prosecution—the remorseless running to earth of the prisoner as if tho State functionary were a special pleader—will be reproduced in England. For the apparent over-eagerness to commit, the unfairness to the accusea, do not arise from the existence of a public prosecutor, but from the French mode of criminal procedure, espe- cially the taking of evidence. So long as we do not permit the unsparing interrogation of the prisoner which is practised in France, there can bo little fear that the public prosecutor will go wrong. DEATH OF THE HON. F. BERKELEY, M.P. The Hon. Francis Fitzhardinge Berkeley, the senior member for Bristol, died this morning at his residence in Loudon. Ile entered Parliament in 1837 as M.P. for Bristol. His name was closely identified with the ballot, in favour of which, since the retirement of Mr. Grote from political life, he brought forward in the House of Comu►ons an annual motion. THE MISSING SHIPS. The fate of the City of Boston steamer continues to excite apprehension. No information has yet reached Lloyd's. Nautical men still contend that the case is not hopeless, notwithstanding the length of time she has been missing. No tidings can be learned of the Smidt, from B►emen to New York, with 400 passengers. The rate of insurance on the City of Boston was 70 guineas premium, but the underwriters are now indisposed to enter into fresh transactions. The Cambodia, from Auckland, with £41,000 in gold, has now been at sea 138 days, but there appears to be no real anxiety respect ing her, owing to the long prevalence of adverse winds. THE NEW ARCHBISHOP OF ARMAGH. We learn by telegram from Rome that, at a con sistory held there on Tuesday last, the Right Rev. Daniel 11‘Gettigan, Bishop of Raphoe, was ap pointed Archbishop of Armagh and Roman Catholic Primate of All Ireland, after holding the bishopric of Raphoe since May, 1861. A NEWT APPOINTMENT.

A part of the scheme is, we believe, to sell a plot of the Hospital lands, and to erect a day school for 500 boys of the middle class, and also to found a s!rui lar establishment for about the same number in. a different part of Loudon. The boarding school which now exists at the hospital is to be removed into the country, and many improvements therein made. A school for girls is also talked of, as is likewise a system of competitive examinadon, by which the boys in the so-called middle class, or new schools, may be advanced at intervals into the old boarding school. The rights of donation go vernors will also, it is said, be revised ; so that none of them can have more than one nominee in the institution at a time, or have even a presentation more often than once in a fixed number of years. The scheme has been for some time before the governing body of the Hospital and the Court of Aldermen, the members of which are governors by charter; and the President (the Duke of Cambridge) is understood to approve of it. Some opposition is believed to exist among the persons hitherto con sulted, and the plan before adoption must be sanc tioned by the Court of Airnoners. InERESTING II'EDDIZVG AT BISLEY. A ceremony not only of local, but of general interest, took place in the parish church of Bisley, Stroud, a few days ago. We allude to the mar riage of the youngest daughter of the Rev. T. Kehle, M.A., Vicar of Bisley (niece of the late Rev. John Kehle, author of "The Christian Year"), to Wil liam Gordon Smythies, Esq., second son of the Rev. W. Y. Smythies, of Hill Side House, Weeley, Essex, and of the celebrated authoress whose works have done S.) much to purify and elevate the romantic literature of our time and country. The church was crowded, and the bride never appeared to such advantage as when she entered the church at the head of eight fair bridesmaids. The bridal dress was made of the richest white satin, with a very long train, the whole bordored with marabouts and artistically trimmed with Honiton lace, pearls, and orange blossoms. The veil, which wasgracefully thrown over the wreathed head, and covered the whole ocrsov, was 6f lloni ton lace. The Yen. the Archdeacon of Gioucester (Sir George Prevost, Bart.), uerforrucd the cere mony, in the most impressive mannir, assisted by the &v. H. Frith, M.A., and the Rev. A. Living stone, M.A. A magnificent breakf tit wis sn-ve,l up at the Vicarage, and S:r George Prevost, iu a speech full of deep feeling, proposed the health of the newly wedded pair. He said he bad known the bride frotu her cradle, and had often carried her in his arms when she was a baby. He, therefore, could not but feel the deepest emotion on the present occasion, but that be felt no anxiety on her ac count, for as the husband of her choice had ever been one of the best of sons, it was not to be doubted that he would be one of the mast de voted husbands. In returning thanks, the bridegroom (already very favourably known to the world as the author of some exquisite poems entitled, " Golden Leisures,") said, "I know not how to thank you, dear friends, for the warm manner in which you have just drunk our healths. I should find it difficult to do so were it only for myself, but that difficulty becomes an impossibility now that I have to acknowledge your kindness for her who, by the grace of Almighty God, has become a second and dearer self. I never felt more deeply than at this moment the truth of the words of our great sacred poet, wheh he said " There is an awe in mortal joy." Mr. Edward Fitzgerald (the best man) pro posed " The Bridesmaids," in a speech full of wit and humour, and after the other customary toasts the happy pair set off for the Continent via Dover. There is no truth in the report of the intended visit of the Princo and Princess of Wales to Ireland at Easter. The Marquis of Ailsa is progressing very favour ably, and the power is returning slowly to the paralysed side and arm.

An ex-policeman, named Henry Millward, residing at the Stafford Arms, Sheffield, shot part of his head off this morning with a pistol. Death, of course, ensued im mediately. Sir John Young, the Governor-General of Uanada (according to a telegram from Washington) intends to leave Wawa for the Red River territory immediately upon the adjournment of the colonial Parliament.

Although his illness is by no means of a serious character, it is not expected that he will be able to leave his room for the next three' y four days.

The revival of " Our American Cousin " has proved an event of more than ordinary success. On its first production, some years ago, Mr. Sot h ern's admirable delineation of Lord .Dundreary created quite a sensation, and the result was that the piece ran we don't know how many hundred nights, after which it was acted throughout the country with the same success, and then again it was repro duced in London, where it met with another great reception. The pourtrayal of the great character, Lord Dundreary, by Mr. Sothern has been admit ted on all sides to be one of the most perfect re presentations that has ever taken place on the metropolitan stage ; and the same high praise has been given to Mr. Buckstone's embodiment of the large-hearted, good-natured, and laugh ter-moving Yankee, Asa Trenchard. It is not often that two such splendid parts are to be found in one piece, audit is not to be wondered at that such a circumstance should lead to the revival of the piece again and again. Prior to the produc tion of a new piece for Mr. Sothern, Mr. Buckstone and Mrs. Frank Mathews, entitled " Barwise's Book," a few performances of " Our American Cousin" are now being given, the " cast" being nearly the same as that with which it was originally produced. The piece ; however, has been nearly re-written, and although the plot rem•tins precisely the same, the dialogue is more than ever replete with fun and humour. In the first scene we have his lordship delighting the ladies with his comic song in the drawing room, and great as has been my Lord Bundreary's efforts his vocalisation is certainly one of his rarest. Then, again, the state of hopeless obfuscation his lordship falls into after having partaken too liberally of brandy and water, and his retiring to bed, is one of the most excruciatingly humorous performances we have ever seen. His lordship, however, is not allowed to enjoy " the balmy" long before our jolly friend, Asa, who has been located in some room, enters, and, unaware that the room is occupied other than by himself, he commences smoking and singing to the intense disgust of the aroused aristocraic sleeper. Asa, not feeling right in a strange bed, determines to sit up for the remainder of the night, and to pass away the time 'he practises with his six shooter at a mask close to my lord's bed. The fun that this bit of entertainment produces is enormous, and the trepidation of his lordship under the cir cumstances can be better imagined than described. Then we have the celebrated dairy scene, with ad ditions, the reading of Sam's letter, and the piece concluded with a now " tag," that fairly convulses the house with laughter. Altogether " Our Ameri can Cousin' is one of the most remarkable pieces, and from the large and brilliant audiences that nightly fill the Haymarket lheatre its power of attraction is still as great as ever. LA IV lATELLIGENCE.—This Day. VICE-CHANCERY COURT. ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. THE LCCAL BOARD OF HEALTH OF WIMBLED9N AND EARL SPENCER. This case came before Vice-Chancellor James to day. It was an interlocutory motion pending a suit against Earl Spencer in the Rolls Court, for an injunction to r.l'strain the defendants from bringing the sewage of the town of Wimbledon on the Com- LllOil, or enclosing any part of the same, or in any way infringing free access, pasturage, or other rights enjoyed by the copyholders of the common. The Vice-Chancellor thought the carrying of sewage over the land would be of advantage, but the question with which he had to deal was that of the enclosure, and he felt bound to grant an injunc tion restraining the defendants from in any way in fringing the rights of the commoners. An order to that effect was accordingly made. POLICE IN7ELLIG ENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ATTEMPTING TO PICK POCKETS AT THE HAY MARKET THEATRE.—George Black, describing him self :as a baker, of Woolwich, wols charged before Mr. Knox with attempting to pick the pockets of two ladies at the II tymarket Thezttr e. Mr. Alfre I Saittneer, of the Free List-offic Haymarket Theatre, said shortly after 11 o'c!ock the previous night he stw the prisoner come into the theatre, and front the manner in which he pushed about he was indaced to watch him, and saw him work hip way into the dress circle. He followed the prisoner, and saw him push amongst several ladies, but was not close enough to him to see what he was doing. The prisoner then went into the lobby, and he distinctly SAW him put his hand into a lady's pocket. The lady looked the prisoner in the face, and the prisoner then left her and fol lowed another lady, and put his hand into her pocket. He followed the prisoner out of the theatre, and on telling him that he should charge him with attempting to pick two ladies' pockets, he said that he had made a mistake that time. He then gave the prisoner into custody. Alfred Austin, 206 C, said that the prisoner gave his address Bone-street, Woolwich, but on asking him that morning- if it was of any use going there to make inquiries respecting him, he said it was not. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner, who made no answer to the charge. WESTMINSTER. OUTRAGEOUS ROBBERY.—Thomas O'Keefe, a labourer, about 25 years old, was charged with stealing a purse containing three half-crowns and 45., the monies of Jewima Hayes, from the per son of Ellen Hayes. The prosecutrix, who keeps a barrow and sells fruit in the street, was, on the 4th of February, in the Prince of Wales public-house, Pimlico, and the prisoner, who knew her, was present ; she incau tiously opened her purse, and the prisoner, seeing the contents, rushed at her, took the purse by force, and was aided in his escape by one Edward Welsh, who held the door open and kept back the prose cutrix and her daughter. It was all the prosecu trix possessed in the world, and she was unable to go any stock to sell. Prisoner pleaded guilty, and elected to be tried by the magistrate. Mr. Arnold said it was a bad case, and almost amounted to robbery with violence. He sentenced the prisoner to six months' hard labour. THAMES. OBTAINING MONEY UNDER FALSE PRETENCES BY AN EX-POLICEMAN.—George Brown, aged 25 years, and described as a labourer, was brought be fore Mr.Lushington, charged with obtaining money by false and fraudulent pretences of several persons. The prisoner was formerly in the Metropolitan Police for a few months. He was unsuited for the service, and resigned. Since then he had been waiting occasionally on charitably-disposed per sons, with a petit*, setting forth that the wife and family of a police-constable, who had met with a severe accident, were in a state of destitution, and in want of food and clothing, and soliciting sub scriptions for their relief. William Pigott, a police-constable, No. 59 K R, discovered the prisoner with his begging petition, and opposite the names of many respectable well disposed persons ls. and 6d. was inserted. Two cases were made out against him. In one he had received 61 from Mr. William Driscoll, in Cris' - street, Poplar, and in the other a sum from Mr. Robert Evans, beershop-keeper, Catherine street, Bromley. Ile was " trying it on " with another person when he was captured by Pigott. The prisoner, in defence, said the petition related to himself, and that he was in. distress. The wit nesses had made a mistake, and a very great one. Mr. Luihington said there was no mistake about the matter, *except the one the prisoner had committed, which was a criminal mistake, for which the prisoner must be punished. lie, sentenced the prisoner to three months' imprisonment and hard labour, and assured him that if he was brought before him again for a similar offence, he should commit him for trial for obtaining money und e r false pretences. POSI7ION OF ME SOU7IL (From the Anglo-American Timrs.) It is an undeniable fact that no rebellion eve` suppressed was followed by less shooting, hanging' and other military punishment and coercion than the Civil War in America; but those who suppes t he South escaped severe chastisement, because South' ern gentlemen were not executed in batches, d° not appreciate the position. Two gallant armie s contended against each other with varying fortUne° for upwards of four years ; the stronger g radual!): prevailing, and eventually crushing the weaker, a uct then the survivors met each o th er a s honourab le men, who, howe, er mis g uid e d, h a d behaved a s brave and faithful citizens o f th e i r St a tes. I3etwee n them there was but little animus, and soldiers w ° had fought for the South often sat with their cot: querors at the same dinner table, discussing Wit h the utmost good humour the great events in Wh ich they were actor.; on opposite sides. But, folloWiflg the Northern armies, were a set of political adven turers, who have done most to instil all the yen' I 3 , 0 possible into the wounds of the d e feated Sou le ''' is not that these people hated the Southerners, ab: barred slavery, and loved their African bzethren,h l ' that they desired to appropriate the largest possible quantity of loaves and fishes, and to do ED it wa s necessary to keep the South in a disturbed stat e ' to incite the poor whites into lawless acts, and the blacks into self-assertion, amounting to insolence' Their stock-in-trade was "soundness on the wa il ' question," loyalty to the Republican party, and , as the extreme wing could only work in the SO / through them, the support they received frc ill Washington, and the control they exercised ov er the blacks, gave them considerable political intiu ence, which they naturally used to secure the mate rial object for which they alone worked. The cos'c sequence has been some curious legislation, a queer state of things, financially, down Set l/13 ' Where such men get a strong footing they displa ce _ gentlemen as surely as a vitiated currency dri ves out a pure currency, because they act with out scruple, and contact with them is so distasteful t hat t the honourable and the refined shrink from it.
