LITERA'fIi The Heir Expectant... By the author of "Raymond's Heroine!' Three Vols. Hurst and Blackett The Prologue to this story is singularly vivid and exciting; it possesses far more concentrated interest than does the subsequent narrative, which constitutes the bulk of the work. An impetuous, happy youth, fresh from a successful examination, bursts into a homely little parlour in a humble dwelling in Liver pool to announce his good fortune to his sympa thising sister. This sister, with her little family, is preparing the frugal tea-table for the return of husband and brother. She rejoices in the student's triumph, and it is, indeed, for him no insignificant matter. The orphan son of a clergyman, left with slender means, he has been mainly indebted to his sister's husband for his education, and now, having passed this examination of the grammar school, he has won a scholarship at Oxford, and a future is before him. The little party is soon joined by the master of the house, who boisterously enters into the joy of the occasion. The experienced reader recognises at a glance that Austin is of a very different type to his wife and brother-in-law, and some transient evidences of instability of purpose and irritation of temper give a presentiment of " breakers ahead." All is at present, however, calm and sunshine, with a prattling boy and girl at either side of him, Austin loads their plates with sweetmeats, while he predicts in loud and laughing 'accents that baby Harold will be proud of his uncle and godfather, who will one day be a judge or a bishop. In the midst of the joyous scene a knock is heard, and there enters Uncle Gilbert, the evil genius of the group. Uncle Gilbert is a millionaire and a miser, who has quarrelled with Austin on account of his marriage with a penniless bride. He now comes, after years of estrangement, to proffer forgiveness. Iu the first place, however, the children disappear, Uncle Gilbert observing that he is very fond of children, but he cannot bear them in the same room with him, and the anxious father hurriedly bustles them away. Uncle Gilbert has a proposition to make. He is old and has retired from business to his country estate. He is afraid of being robbed by strangers, and offers to take his nephew Austin to look after his interests. He must give up his present satisfactory employment and ac cept from his uncle a little cottage, and a hundred a year—not a farthing more—and look for a fortune at his death. It is a painful alternative. The wife knowing that she has been the cause of the estrange ment, keeps silence, and averts her eyes from her husband lest they should reveal the feelings of her heart, which revolts from the proposed arrange ment Only the young brother has the courage to suggest a refusal, and acquires from that moment the antipathy of Uncle Gilbert. Suffice it to say the offer is accepted. Austin be comes Heir Expectant to his uncle, and the curtain falls upon the first scene of thedrama and the joyous hours of the little group are numbered. We are not going to particularize the incidents of the tale which follows. Uncle Gilbert survives for a score of years, and the agonies of the expectant heirship are very powerfully pourtrayed. Distress and death, and even dishonour fall upon the luckless victims who have surrendered the blessings of independence for a miserable " waiting for a dead man's shoes." The moral of the lesson is very powerfully enforced. Among other strikir.g incidents, an innocent man bears the ignominy of another's fraud, but we must not reveal the secrets of a very enthralling story. The character of the sorely-tried wife and sister is ten derly depicted, but we can feel no sympathy with the other heroine who is ready at the first word to believe the calumny which assails the man she pro fesses to love and is about to marry. The crown ing incident, in which after years of painful secrecy, the letter which proves his guilt is found in the dead man's hand—death having arrested him in the act of its destruction—is sinngularly effeetive. Notwithstanding its interest as a story, and the various merits we have enumerated, the " Heir-Expectant " is not equal to " Raymond's Heroine," but then we cannot expect every day to meet with a work like " Raymond's Heroine." Indian Records in regard to the Nawabs Nazim of Bengal, Behar, and Orissa. G. Bubb. Opportunely enough there has just now been issued, in the form of this goodly volume of 347 pages, an au+ hentic and most lucid statement of the relations between the British Governments and the Nawabs Nazim of the provinces of Bengal, Behar, and Orissa, the work being appropriately dedicated to the present Nawab Nazim, now in this country, His Highness Syad Munsoor Ullee. The documen tary evidence as to the validity of the Nawab's claims is singularly complete and comprehensive, the whole being admirably well arranged. The motto selected for the title page is sufficiently suggestive, to wit " Render unto Cesar the things that are Cressir's," a dictum that every patriotic Englishman cannot but hope may be scrupulously followed in the instance to which it is here directly and emphatically applied. _ Industrial Employment of Women. Longmana and Co. By J. 1). Milne. A revised edition of a very excellent treatise upon a very practical consideration of the Industrial and Social Position of Women of the Middle and Lower Ranks, has here made its apptarance. It reflects honour upon the humanity of the learned advocate of Aberdeen by whom it has been compiled. Thirteen years have elapsed since the book was first published, within which interval it is re markable to reflect upon the advance made during that little more than a dozen years both in public opinion and tentative legislation in regard to the relative position of sexes, the fair sex, and as Mr. Disraeli calls the other quaintly by contrast (both in his Speeches and in Lothair) the dark sex—" a❑ advance," says our author in his Note to the present revised edition " that has surpassed my expectation." The remark is radiantly illustrative (as by an instantaneous flash) of the prescience of Mr. Milne, as a practical social reformer, bent upon vindicating the Rights of Women in their integrity. Financial Statements of 1869 and 1870. R. 1. Bush. In a most acceptable form, carefully revised and corrected by the right hon. gentleman himself, we have here the two great Budget Speeches of Mr. Lowe as Chancellor of the Exchequer. To the poli tician and the journalist they are peculiarly welcome as authentic records of not the least daring and in genious of modern Financial Statements. Full particulars are given of the tragical affair at Nice. The lady was Madlle. Borel d'Hauterive ; the gentleman's name was Morpani. The cause of the suicide was the inability of the lovers to marry, owing to the insufficiency of their income. They were both about thirty. Among the Parliamentary papers issued yesterday were the following :—The Thirteenth Report of the Trus tees of the National Portrait Gallery—The Mines Regu lation and Inspection Bill (as amended in committee.—The City of London (Parishes) Bill—a Bill to make further provisions concerning Turnpike Roads—and a return, relating to-East India (Punjab Tenancy). • Another burglary has been committed at Twick enham, at the residence of Mr. Wheeler, Amyand Park, which is situate about 400 yards only from Mr. Bohn's. A quantity of plate, consisting of spoons, forks, &c., valued at £l7, was carried off, as well as a gammon of bacon, a loaf of bre ad, some loaf sugar, 'a brown silk umbrella, and a carpenter's tool bisket. An inquest was held at Tottenham on Wednesday on the body of a lady found in the River Lea. The body turned out to be that of Mrs. Chesnut, the wife of a clergyman, who had been living for two years separate from her husband in lodgings at Tottenham. It was stated that she had been in the habit of drinking imm ode rately. The jury found that she was of unsound mind. It is proposed to raise an endowment fund of twelve thousand pounds for the Falkland Islands Bishopric, to which Dr. Stirling, of Exeter . College, Oxford, has lately been consecrated. The Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge head the list with one thousand pounds on condition that nine thousand pounds be raised otherwise. Two " welshers " were pursued at Chester Races. One of them, under the generic name of Smith, left a satchel behind with a change of cards, which chewed that he was prepared to resort to that of Brown, Jones, or Robinson, should occasion require. There was also a bundle of flash notes, bearing additional testimony to the absurdity of turf betting. THE UNEMPLOYED IN ADELAIDE.—Serious dis turbances have taken place in the city of Adelaide, South Australia, in consequence of the scarcity of employment. Several hundred of the unemployed attacked the Treasury and were with difficulty expelled. In the afternoon a still larger mob assembled, and broke open the doors of several of the Government-offices. The police drew their swords, and cleared the streets, but did not succeed in doing so until several persons had been wounded. The excitement has since calmed down, and most of the un employed have obtained work from the Government.— ,Afelbaurne Argus, March 28. METROPOLITAN GOSSlP—Tuunspay. It is fortunate that Conservatives have got weary of the Land Bill, for the hot weather has come upon us sud denly with a leap, and we, who a week ago were shivering by, the fire and clothing ourselves in overcoats, are now eating ices and donning white hats. The miraculous progress made with the bill on Monday was beyond the fondest hopes of the most sanguine member of the Government, say Mr. Gladstone, for who ever before saw the Conservative benches without a single occupant. To-night the House is called upon to discuss Sir John Gray's and Mr. Morrison's, i.e., Judge Longfield's alternative scheme, but with the thermometer at a good deal over 70 in the shade, I don't look for a long debate. Of course, now the Land Bill is so far advanced, the pro spect of the Education Bill is vastly improved ; and as Mr. Gladstone has promised that the second measure should be placed in the same position as the first as soon as that was disposed of, we may expect before Whitsun tide to see some very sharp discussion about conscience clauses, time-tables, and all the rest of it. The discussion will be all the more lively if it should turn out, as is generally believed, that the Royal Commissioners on Primary Education in Ireland have decided in favour of denominational teaching. Mr. Newdegate's Committee (if I may call by his name a committee which he will scarcely care to recognise) has been sitting, and has chosen Mr. Villiers for its chair man, a very respectable old Whig official who has done good service in his time, but is somewhat too passe for these advanced times. The committee are in doubt as to whether they should have open sittings, and whether they should permit counsel to appear on behalf of any persons who may be affected by the inquiry. The matter has been referred to Mr. Rickards. the Speaker's counsel. The Government are very uneasy just now about what the French would call the recrudescence of Fenianism. There is no doubt that a large number of Feniarks are in LOndon, and also in Brighton and Sheffield, and that they have received numerous consignments of firearms during the last few weeks. Many of these consignments are known to the police, and the chief railway termini have been haunted by detectives ; but the Fenians have dis covered that they are being watched, and so they have ceased to frequent the principal stations, and alight at others a little way out of London. No doubt these men are closely allied with the revolutionists from the continent who are now over here. A little while ago a large number of revolutionary leaders from all parts of Europe met in London. The meeting was presided over by a French journalist much wanted by the police. The Secretary was an Italian Priegt, and a great friend of Marshal Prim. One of the speakers was very merry at the expense of the police, who supposed him to be in New York when he was plotting within a street or two of Scotland-yard, and it was generally admitted that England was a capital place for revolutionists to carry on their business. Then followed a discussion as to the best place for a rising. Every place seemed to be the best, and the sanguine not to say sanguinary speakers, spoke hopefully of hoisting the Red flag throughout the whole Continent next autumn, Switzerland being the basis of operations. England, it was said, was fast becoming con verted to Republicanism, a crown being too expensive a luxury for that pauperised country to afford it any longer. Ireland is to be a Republic before Christmas. Some speaker suggested that the British troops might be tQo strong for the " bhoys," but the reply was that the working classes in England meant to rise, and would occupy all the attention of the troops. As for the Czar of Russia, he is on a powder magazine. So we shall be having a lively time of it during the long vacation. The London tradesmen do not like co-operation, but for all that it is spreading. Some of them are wise enough to recognise the soundness of the principle that persons who - pay ready money ought not to be taxed for the benefit of those who take long credit, or who do not pay at all, and they are consenting to aid the movement by allowing discount to the members of the Co-operative Societies. A new store is just about to be opened close to Regent Circus, Oxford-street, by the Agricultural and Horticultural Co-operative Asso ciation. This society, as its name implies, was origi nally started to deal in agricultural stock, &c. Its pri mary object was to supply its members with unadul terated manures and implements without the heavy addi tion of the travellers' commission. The implement makers were very unfriendly to the scheme, and for some time it was difficult to enter into satisfactory relations with them. Manures were more easilv obtained, and as these were always tested by the soci,..ty's chemist, they soon became popular. The number of members in this asso ciation has rapidly increased, and already—that is to say, in about three years—profits have been paid equal to the original capital. In April, 1869, the total sales of goods for the month were £2,212 ; the' gross profits, £245 ; the expenses, £111; and the nett gain, £135. In April, 1870, the figures were 25,336, £602, 2116, and £485. So that while the profits have more than trebled the expenses have increased only about 4 per cent. The association has now extended its operations, and become a general co-operative society, supplying all kinds of domestic goods, furniture, groceries, meat, &c. Any one may become a member on paying £l. Five per cent. is paid upon the members' capital, a lower price than ,the ordinary price to the public is charged for the goods, and the profits of the business are divided among the members. Recently the as sociation has undertaken the London agency for Messrs. Briggs, the well known chiefs of the partnership of industry colliery. This business has been wonderfully successful, and whereas before the principle of co-opera tion was adopted the proprietors were earning only 4 per cent. upon their capital, they now make nearly 30 per cent. The Agricultural and Horticultural Association has an office in Parliament-street, almost close to the House of Commons. It has three M.P.'s among its nine directors—Mr. Cowper-Temple, Mr. Hughes, and Mr. Morrison. The last being a West-country member, and well acquainted with - the Cornish motto " One and all," has adopted it as the motto of this association The managing director is Mr. E. 0. Greening,. who was one of the originators of industrial partnerships. The Working Men's Club and Institute Union contem plate building a memorial hall in honour of the late Lord Brougham. The hall would be in a central situation and joint occupation would be permitted to associations haying for their object "the reform of the law, the pro motion of education, the advancement of knowledge, and the general welfare of the people." Each association will have exclusive occupation of the minimum accommodation required for their ordinary office work, with the means of obtaining, under the same roof, any amount of additional accommodation required for special occasions. The Earl of Lichfield, Mr. Auberon Herbert, M.P., Mr. Titus Salt, Sir Henry Hoare, Dr. Hodgson, and other well known gentlemen are among the promoters of the design, Our Home Secretary is really a Minister sui generis. Not only can he see no reason to interfere in behalf of a man suffering imprisonment for a theft which since his conviction it is proved he never committed, but he has chosen the Derby Day, of all days in the year, for ordering all cabs in the metropolis to submit to inspection. Now on inspection days the cabs have necessarily to be absent from their ranks for a considerable time in order that they may undergo the criticisms of Colonel Hender son and the Commissioners of Police in Scotland-yard. This is always a nuisance for the cab-proprietors and the cab-drivers, even on ordinary days ; but to compel them to incur this loss on the day when they have the best chance of making large profits will convert every cab man, two-wheelers as well as four-wheelers, into a " growler." The London Free and Open Church Association is one of those few societies which includes members of all parties in the Church. It has among its vice presidents nearly a score of peers, and nearly fifty members of the House of Commons. Strange to say, only four bishops are in the list, and of these only one--the Bishop of Peterborough—is bishop of an English See. The others are the Bishops of Derry, in Ireland, Cape Town in the colonies, and Tennessee in the United States. Some of the Church papers have been publishing a biography of a very aged Yorkshire clergyman, Mr. Collins of Knaresborough. It is generally known that his eldest son (" long Tom" as he is called in the House of Commons) was formerly member for Knaresborough, and is now M.P., for Boston ; but it is not so well known that another son, Henry, is not only a " 'Vert " but a mem ber of a Cistercian monastery in Yorkshire. He is the author of a very interesting volume on the first establish ment of that order in England. A letter from St. Petersburg tells me that the Czarevna —better known to Englishmen as the Princess Dagmar— is c ruelly cut up by the death of her little son. She is, in fact, inconsolable, and though every preparation had been made to take her to the palace at Tsarkoe-Selo she refused to be separated from the corpse of her child THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 20, 1870 until it was buried. This intense grief has made the Imperial family anxious for the Princess—all the more in her present delicate condition. It was on account of the death of this little nephew that the Princess of Wales was in mourning at the opening of London University. It is said that Mr. Tennyson is going to accompany the expedition which is to watch the eclipse of the sun next December. The Government have, I believe, re fused to furnish any funds for this expedition, or to follow the example of Lord Palmerston, who about nine years a g o placed the troopship . Himalaya at the disposal of the astronomers. It is even reported that Govern ment have objected to pay any longer for printing the " Nautical Almanack." Should it be printed as usual it will be in consequence of the strong remonstrances of practical and scientific men. Fortunately for England and for the world the love of science and literature in this country is too great to be extinguished by any amount of official cold shoulder. If the astronomers cannot get a grant they will do without one. As for men of letters there are still among them those who think of something more than so many guineas a sheet. Some of your readers may have seen the noble edition of Bacon's works which has been in progress for several years. It was edited originally by Messrs. Ellis, Spedding, and Heath. Mr. Ellis died soon after the com mencement of the enterprise, and a double share of work. fell to Mr. Spedding. Yet he has never received a penny for his many years' labour. The matter was undertaken by several bookselling firms, who subscribed £1,040 as capital to bring it out. The cost of the seven volumes was £3,278, the sales from 1857 to 1870 produced but £2,656, leaving an apparent deficit of 622 ; against this is to be set the value of 561 volumes in hand and the stereotype plates and copy right. Mr. Spedding retains the copyright of "the Life and Letters of Bacon." The Gentleman's Magazine has once more changed hands. It will henceforth cease to be published by Messrs. Bradbury and Evans, and will be issued by Mr. Allen, ex-Lord Mayor of Liindon. Mr. Blanchard Jerrold will edit it. Victor Hugo's story, " L'Homrte qui Rit," has been a sad loss for this periodical. Perhaps now that most unreadable tale is finished the magazine will make a new start. M. Hugo's place is to be taken by Mr. Sutherland Edwards, late editor of the Graphic, will commence a new tale next month. The same number will contain a poem by Mr. Bailey, the author of " Festus," whom I met the other day, looking quite the venerable bard. Tom Taylor, the art critic of the Times; Shirley Brooks, the novelist, and London gossip of the Illustrated News ; Mr. Joseph Hatton, editor of the Worcester Journal ; Mr. Capern, the Bideford Postman poet ; Mr. Edwin Arnold, one of " the young'hons of the Daily Telegraph ;" Mr. Dickens's son Charles, who has not hitherto done much in the way of literature ; Mr. Mark Lemon, editor of Punch ; Miss Dora Greenwell, the poet and the biographer of Lacordaire, are in the list of writers ;—a staff strong enough to establish " the oldest and the youngest of the magazines," as it is called. The editor of the Photographic Art Journal is Mr. Sutton not Mr. Rivington, as stated in a former letter ; the latter gentleman is the publisher. The chief work coming out within the next few days is the collected edition of Mr. Cobden's . speeches, edited by Mr. Bright and Professor Rogers, volumes which, I ven ture to say, will display more sound philosophy and shrewd political foresight than any other work of our time. Of a very different class is " Songs before Sunrise," the title of Mr. Swinburne's new volume, which is being published by Mr. Ellis, who bids fair to become the poets publisher. Lady Lytton has just published The Household Fairy." Mr. Anthony Trollope, who has already done a good deal in the way of travelling, having visited the United States and. the West Indies, and written capital books about both countries, talks of a visit to Australia. After the enthusiastic welcome just given there to Mr. Charles Mathews, we must look for all our literary men and actors to be taking a trip to the Antipodes. A new evening paper has made its appearance in Lou don this week. It is called the London Figaro, is a four page paper of six columns, and is got up in the style of the aris Figaro with plenty of gossip in short paragraphs and large type. I should think that there was room for this sort of journal, although its pabulum is of the lightest and most unsubstantial character. Another paper of a low class has been hawked about the streets during the last week or two. It has a wretched illustration, and is called The Devil. Nevertheless it does not tempt. THE MEDICAL REFORM ASSOCIATION AND THE GOVERNMENT BILL. Yesterday a deputation from the British Medical Reform Association waited upon Earl de Grey and Ripon, President of the Council, for the purpose of representing their views in reference to the Medical Acts Amendment Bill which has been recently introduced by the Govern ment into the House of Lords. Earl Grey was accompa nied by the Right Hon. W. E. Forster. The deputation was introduced by Dr. Chadwick, pre sident of the Medical Reform Association, and a large number of the medical profession from various parts of England and Ireland were present. —Dr. Chadwick explained that the association which he represented consisted of no less than four thousand mem bers. They had considered the questions which the Go vernment had undertaken to solve, and in some instances went with and in others against the measure. At a meeting of the association, held yesterday, one of the great principles of the 'bill was cordially ap proved, and that was the admission of the pro fession through one portal. A strong desire was also expressed that the examinations should be conducted through one board, and the bill as it now stood contemp lated three. The question upon which more anxiety was felt, however, was that relating to the formation and con stitution of the medical council. The profession as re presented in the association very decidedly . desired direct representation by appointing members irrespective of any board or corporation through which they might act in an indirect method. Dr. Waters, of Chester, said he had presided over a corn. mittee of the British Medical Association, on whom the duty had devolved of endeavouring to obtain the direct representationof the profession in the General Medical Council. That committee was appointed first of all by the council of the association, and at the annual meeting in 1867 they brought foward a resolution asking the eight representatives on the Medical Council, to be elected by the body of the registered practitiongrs throughout the king dom. At the meeting in Dublin that r esolution was most ably discussed, and was eventually carried, the only dissen tients being two influential members. Since that time the mover of the opposition had seceded from his then opinions and was now heartily with the association, and yesterday seconded a resolution affirming the principle, giving a complete adhesion to it. Since that time there had been two occasions on which the principle had been unani mously affirmed • he referred to the meetings which had been held' at Oxford • and Leeds. Since the introduction of • the Medical Bill into the House of Lords various meetings had been held throughout the country. The Lancashire and Cheshire branch of the British Medical Reform Associa tion, numbering three hundred members, and comprising a large proportion of the teachers in the medical schools of Liverpool and Manchester,. and a great majority of the hospital surgeons and physicians of the' various hospitals in the district, passed a resolution unanimously in favour of this. The South-Eastern and the Northern, comprising Hull and the surrounding neighbourhood, the Yorkshire, the East York shire, the North Lincoln, the Metropolitan and Counties, the Bath and Bristol, and the North 'Wales branches of the association, had all passed resolutions de manding that-this representative principle should be em bodied in any bill passed by the Legislature. The Cam bridge branch, while admitting the necessity of modifying the constitution of the Council had passed resolutions in favour of indirect representation; but it was notorious that the making of the declaration was due in some degree to the considerable influence exercised by the president of the Council. The representation was, in fact a com plete anomaly, for while Durham had its representative, the great schools of Manchester, Hull, and Leeds had no representative whatever ; and yet those schools them selves were governed by the Council—a body in which it could scarcely be said they placed the slightest confidence. He, on the part of the deputation, would therefore request his lordship to insert in the Government bill the following amendment :—" That the General Medical Council shall, after the passing of the Act, always contain four representatives elected by the registered members of the profession in England and Wales, two of Scotland, and two of Ireland." Earl de GREY promised to consider the representations which had been made to _ him by the deputation. Of course there were various questions to be considered besides the abstract question, whether the - changes they advdcated were desirable. One of these was whether the alterations should be effected by the present bill, and he did not anticipate that the measure would precisely be of a completely permanent character. Whatever decision the Legislature arrived at must be based upon the abstract advantages of the proposals, and the opportunities for introducing them.* He did not wish to express a decided opinion, but the question had suggested itself whether the functions of the General Judicial Council demanded that they should be discharged by a representative body. He would, however, give due weight to what had been urged on the part of the deputation. A' Carlisle correspondent telegraphs :—The City of London, with 700 tons of sugar on board, struck on a sandbank of Heston Island, Auchencairn Bay, on the coast of Sirkeurll-right, on Tuesday afternoon. The crew, seven ‘., i number, stuck to the ship fourteen hours, and then landed in boats. The vessel is breaking up. She was bound from Trinidad to the Clyde. M. D'ANDELARRE AND M. DE GIRARDIN. — The Marquis d'Andelarre has addressed a letter to M. Emile de Girardin, editor of the Liberte, in answer to an attack which that gentleman made on the policy of the Left Centre. M. de Girardin declared the Left Centre was dead, owing to its refusal to take part in the pldbiscitary vote, and•asserted that the retreat of three eminent men who represented it in the January Cabinet was the deathblow of its fortunes. The alliance between the two Centres is, he avers broken ; but M. d'Audelarre replies that, even should that be the case he will not regret the efforts he made to consoli date it nor the powerful aid which the Left Centre lent to the Government. There is, he thinks, some rashness in M. de Girardin's- statement that the Left Centre is dead ; it has only withdrawn into its tent because the situation neither permits it the means of attack. - or defence. As for the withdrawal of the three members of the Left Centre from the Cabinet, M. d'An delarre remark% that their influence is greater Qut of office than in it, and it is not the Left Centre who has most reason for regret, In return for M. Offivier's reproach that the Left Centre was constantly endeavouring to diminish power, the leader of the Left Centre asks whether pruning the dead branches from the trees is the work of the destroyer? Who was it that wrote " The problem to be solved in the nineteenth cen tury is to constitute a strong power and a strong liberty?" Was it not M. de Girardin himself ? THE DIPLOMATIC SERVICE. The Select Commitee of the House of Commons ap pointed to inquire into the subject of the Diplomatic and Consular Service met yesterday, d proceeded with the examination of the ate Minister Brazil, who, with reference to the marriage of British subjects abroad, expressed a strong opinion that there should be two or three weeks' notice to the Ministers or Consuls whose duty it was to marry them, as foreign capital Ministers were very subject to be imposed upon by strangers. They could not possibly provide for all cases, but he recommended that the same notice now required to be given to consuls should be given to Ministers. , He had himself commu nicated with the Foreign-office on the subject, and was informed that it was 11l duty to exercise a'disCretion on the subject, and he thought it would be advisable that there should be a general circular issued on the subject. Under the present regulations it would be quite possible for a runaway couple to cross over from England to France to-day and to be married at the British Embassy at Paris to-morrow. The advantage of the notice being would be that in most cases irregularities of that character would be put an end to. RELIGIOUS TREATMENT OF ROMAN CATHOLIC PRISONERS. The select committee of the House of Commons on prisons and prison ministers resumed their sittings yes terday afternoon, when Captain Ducane, Inspector of the Government Prisons, was called, and stated that he had eleven prisons under his control, which it was his duty to visit and inspect. At each of those prisons, when a prisoner was admitted he was required to state his religion, and a notice was read over to him, together with the prison rules, regulating the religious instruction of the prisoners. These rules stated that Roman Catholics shauld have the opportunity afforded to them of seeing a priest of their own religion, and that they should be permitted to attend the Romad Catholic service. When each person thorougly understood the rules, and was made acquainted with the privileges accorded to those of different religion, he or she was required to state their religion, but when once they had declared it they were not allowed to make auy change in their declaration until it was satisfactorily proved that they had made a wrong declaration. He had always found the best feeling to exist between Roman Catholic priests and Protestant clergymen, and that they worked together with perfect accord and in harmony with the prison authorities. He was of opinion that it would be advisable that the same regulations existing in the Government gaols should be extended to every county prison. In Millbank the average number of prisoner was 1,185 in the year, of whom 385 were Roman Catholics ; Portland, 1,540 ; Dart moor, 1,030 ; Portsmouth, 1,230 ; Chatham, 1,600 ; 'Woking, 701 males ; Brixton, 566 ; and Ful ham, 330. Of the total number of prisoners under his inspection the Roman Catholics numbered about 2,000. The Act of Parliament was clear and specific with respect to their treatment, and since it had been in operation, and the Roman Catholic prisoners had been allowed to he visitedby their priests, their general conduct had been much improved: On the conclusion of Mr. Discaue's evidence the com mittee adjourned. LAW AND POLIUM CHARGE AGAINST A CONSTABLE.—A 'labourer, named Daniel Shea, was charged at Worship-street with drunkenness and disorderly conduct, whereupon he made a counter charge against the constable, who wit nessed against him. He stated that the . constable offered to fight a man for half a crown, and on the . prisoner making a jocose remark the policeman took him into cus tody. He called two witnesses in support of this state ment, but their story was contradictory, and the magis trate disbelieved it, observing that it was most unlikely the constable would act in a manner that would ruin him for life. The Inspector of the H division, to which the constable belonged, gave him an excellent character, and said he was much trusted by his officers, and was selected to apprehend street gamblers. He had taken seventy-three persons into custody for such offences, of whom seventy had been convicted, and it was believed that the Spitalfields thieves, finding his vigilance trouble some, concocted this story. The prisoner was sentenced to 20s. fine, the magistrate expressing a high opinion of the constable. ENDORSING BILLS.—An action upon two bills of ex change has been brought in the Court of Common Pleas. The plaintiff, whose name is Meulengracht, buys teas for the Russian market. The defendants, Messrs. Rhodes and North, were tea brokers, in partnership at the time the bills were endorsed by Mr. Rhodes, in the name of the firm. The bills were drawn by Mr. Hooper, a picture dealer, the father-in-law of Rhodes. The latter allowed judgment to go by default, and North repudiated liability on the ground that Rhodes had no authority to endorse the bills in the name of the firm, this not being a tea-broking transaction. Evjdence ' was called on both sides as to the practice of tea brokers to take or endorse bills, and the learned judge left two questions to the jury. 1. Whether tea brokers were in the habit of endorsing bills, and 2, whether the plaintiff knew when he made advances on the bills that Rhodes was endorsing the bills for other than the partnership business. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant North. THROWING A WOMAN OUT OF THE WINDOW.— At Clerkenwell, Charles Miller, aged 47, a broker, was charged with being drunk and assaulting Mrs.. Caroline Bearram. The prosecutrix and her husband reside at the same house as the defendant, and as she was passing the defendant's room, he caught hold of her round the waist and tried to drag her in. She struggled and the defend ant then said, making use of very bad language at the same time, that if she did not go into his room he wouid throw her out of the window. She refused to go, on which the defendant pitshed her against the window, and she then screamed murder and police, which attracted the attention of the neighbours opposite. The complainant's head, arms, and part of her body were out of the window when she was rescued from her perilous position. She ran down stairs, the defendant following her, and when in the kitchen he struck her three or four blows.—He was remanded for a week. SINGULAR DECISION.--LA curious magisterial decisioh has been given at Richmond, according to which a militia man absent from training through imprisonment may be punished as a deserter. A young man, named Richard son, was charged before the local magistrate with being absent from last year's training. He denied that he was a deserter, having been sentenced for some offence, not specified, to a year's imprisonment. He offered to pay the expenses of anyone who would verify his story by going to Coldbath-fields Prison. The magistrate, after some hesitation, convicted him as a deserter, and sentenced him to 40s. fine, or two months' imprisonment with hard labour. He was removed in custody. BETTER THAN HE DESERVED.—At Huddersfield, John Balmforth, a young man, was charged with stealing £lOO, the money of his father, John Balniforth, farmer, Slaith waite. On the 10 th instant the prosecutor entrusted the prisoner with a Bank of England note for £lOO to get changed at Hucklersfield,. but he went to Liverpool, booked a passage to America, and was apprehended just as he was going on board the City of Paris. The magis trates asked the parents what they desired them to do with the prisoner ; and Mis. Balmforth replied, "We only want him to go home and be a good lad." The police were instructed to restore the money to the old people, and the prisoner was liberated. RAILWAY COMPANIES AND LANDOWNERS.—The Judges of the Court of Queen's Bench and Common Pleas, sitting on appeal from the Court of Exchequer, in the case of the " Duke of Buccleuch v. the Metropolitan Board of Works," decided the principle of compensation between railway companies and landowners, when the fornier buy under the compulsory clauses of the Act of 1845. The duke had a causeway (worth two hundred pounds in the opinion of the arbitrator) which ran down into the Thames. This was taken away from him to make the Thames Embankment, and the awarded over eight tbousand pounds, giving five thousand pounds as loss consequent on the execution of the works. The Court by a majorito decided that the Act did not give an owner a right to compensation beyond the actual land taken under the compulsory powers. Lieutenant M. Ommanney, R.E., has been tem porarily attached to the office of the Director of Works to the Admiralty in order to superintend the erection of Lock Hospitals, which, under the provisions of the Con tagious Diseases Act, it is contemplated to build at some of the principal seaports. Lieutenant Ommanney recently held a similar appointment under the War Office. The RuSsiau papers received yesterday publish the text of a convention which has just been concluded be tween the Russian and Austrian Governments for the union of the Kieff-Odessa Railway with that of Leopol- Vienna via VolotchiSk and Tarnopol. It is provided that the ` gauge shAll be different, as in the case of the Russo- Prtissfan lines, so that the Austrian carriages will not be ablelo pass into Russia, nor Russia into Austria. The journals of Lisbon publish details of the attempt now being made to recover the treasure from the galleons sunk in Vigo Bay. After a nineteen days' search made with large diving bells, the fifteen vessels were found at a depth of 100 metres, and, on knocking a hole into the side of the Almirante, some of the gold and silver which forthed the cargo was found, with a certain quantity of pieces of plate and valuable arms. Some ingots were forwarded to Paris, and others sent to Lisbon. A Liverpool fish salesman was desirous of sending some cash by steamer to Stornoway. In order to do so he signed a blank cheque upon the North and South Wales Bank, directing his clerk, Abraham Dyson, to fill it up for £5OO, and gi ve th e money to the captain of the steamer for transmi ss i on t o St orn oway. Dyson, it is alleged, filled the cheque up for £7OO instead of £5OO, procured gold for that amount on presenting the cheque at the North and South Wales Bank, and then absconded. ALLEGED PROSELYTISING AT THE DOVER UNION —A complaint has been made tc the Board of Guardians of the Dover Union, by the Rev. J, Laws. the Roman Catholic priest of the district, to the effect that the chap lain of the Union-house had been in the habit of using his influence to induce inmates of the Roman Catholic faith to abjure their religion. One case was especially adduced that of a female who when on her deathbed was implored by the chaplain to reflect on her awful condition, and the danger of departing this life as a believer in the Roman Catholic faith. The rev. gentleman did not deny the charge and pleaded his sincerity in holding Protestant opinions, and the responsibility resting upon him. The board decided that the chaplain must not again act in a similar manner. WORKER OF 31IRA.CLES, The inhabitants of London have got a miracle worker amongst . them. He gives his name as Dr. Newton, and declares that he has a message from Heaven to work miraculous cures. A gentleman, whose interest was ex cited by this announcement, went to Cambridge Hall, near Oxford-street, in order to witness the performance. About 100 persons of both sexes were crowded together at the upper end of the hall, and in the centre of a small space between them and the platform stood Dr. Newton in his shirt-sleeves, calling upon the diseased to come forward and be healed. Grouped in different parts of the hall were .some blind, many lame, and many para lysed persons waiting for an opportunity to get to the front. In his frequent explanatory remarks to the people around him, Dr. Newton said he did not perform the mira cles by his own power, but by the Divine power which was given him for the purpose, and by the presence of which in the hall every one was blessed. When a patient was placed in his hands he would make some such speech as the following, which was literally made in one instance : "It is by love this is done, especially female love, You must-love the Doctor. You must believe in him." After calling upon God and the holy angels to help him, he would usually pass his hands over the faces and limbs of the patients, jerk his own limbs about, as if through a shock of electricity, and then de clare them cured : or, if it were very apparent that they were not cured, he would assert that they were partially cured, and Would totally recover in a given time. Sometimes the Doctor would assert that the disease was too far gone to be entirely removed, and sometimes he would refuse to attempt the cure. He announced that if any were too sick to be brought to him their friends might bring any article belonging to them, and through that article he would effect their cure. Pocket-handkerchiefs, a waistcoat, gloves, &c., presu mably of sick persons, were handed 'to him. These he would squeeze, and calling upon " God and the holy angels," "the Divine power," or " the Holy Ghost." he would order the disease to leave the person to whom the article belonged, and would then declare them cured or fast recovering. Men and women suffering from various forms of partial lameness were put through their facings in a painfully shuffling manner, and were then almost persuaded that they had been cured ; but the contortions of their countenances, in their unavailing endeavours to realise the cure, ludicrously upset the would-be miracle, and the delusion was more fully dispelled when they attempted to walk from the hall. A. poor woman was car ried up the hall in a chair, and placed before the Doctor She vas unable to walk without the assistance of crutches, or the aid of other persons. The doctor first of all called upon her to love and believe •in him, and then, kneelin g down, he passed his hand over her legs several times. He next stood up, and commanded her to rise. The poor woman struggled hard to obey, but - was unable to do so. He lifted her out of the seat, and half dragged her across the floor, notwithstanding her cries of pain, telling her she was able to walk. Having taken her some yards, he suddenly left her standing alone, and commanded her to walk back to the chair ; she struggled to obey, but screamed with agony which the effort caused her, and would have fallen to the ground had • she not been supported by two persons, who led her away. A. blind man who had been l e d into the magic circle, re mained standing near the doctor for a long time, but no notice of this was taken by him until his attention was forcibly drawn to the man by a woman, who begged him to give the blind man sight. He walked up to the man, looked at him, and said. " I can't do it." Great confusion followed this announcement, and a deaf man, whom the doctor hod failed to cure, but who watched the proceedings closely, and his friends, com menced denouncing the operator as an impostor and swindler, and called upon him, if he had, the power he claimed, to cure the blind man. The supporters of the doctor proposed to turn the denouncers out, but this was not attempted. General attention hav ing been directed to the cases of the blind and deaf men, the doctor attempted to get over the difficulty created by the blind man by say ing that he did not profess to cure the worst cases of blindness, and with reference to the deaf man he said the drums of his ears were gone, and the Holy Ghost would have to perform an act of creation instead of cure in order to give him back hearing. As the people were leaving the hall, Dr. Newton offered to give a Divine blessing to all who would pass in procession by him; and some eighty or ninety persons, actually accepted his benediction. THE RICHMOND CALAMITY. THE FAST DAY IN RICHMOND. Yesterday was observed as a day of humiliation, fasting, and prayer by our entire population. All business was suspended, not even a store, shop, or office being open. The street cars stopped runinng, and there were but few vehicles on the streets. At an early hour our streets were thronged with people of all ages and conditions, on their way to the several places of worship, all of which were well attended, and many of them crowded. By common consent, tolerance and charity for the opinions of each other were the burdens of the sermons. After the services at the churches, the hearts of the people seemed to have been somewhat lifted up and lightened of their burden of grief. A great many ladies and gentlemen visited the scene of the calamity at the Capitol, and with trembling steps walked lightly over the blood-stained floors. We noticed among the visitors Chief-Justice Chase, who was accompanied by Colonel Robert Ould. In the after noon a great many people visited Hollywood, and passed the pleasant evening in mournful walks amid the silent tombs. This morning business seems to have resumed its sway, and we note the usual activity in our streets. Life and hope are everywhere visible, and as we rise with souls purified by affliction from the dust and ashes of our great sorrow, let us bear with us on the way the lessons our misfortunes and sad experiences have taught us, and with malice toward none, but charity for all, press forward, doing the right, as God gives us to see the right. CONDITION OP THE WOENDED We learn that no hopes are entertained of the recovery of Major Calvert. He was very low this morning. Go- vernor Wells is much improved, and doing well. Mr. Handy, of the Dispatch, was out yesterday, receiving the congratulations of his friends. Mr. Chesterman was on the street this morning, and looks well, but is still quite weak. The other wounded, so far as we learn, are im proving.—Richntond State Journal, May 5. RICHMOND, May 4, 1870. • To-day the churches were filled and the city presented a Sabbath appearance. In the United States Circuit Court Chief Justice Chase, in response to the resolutions of the Richmond bar regarding the late calamity, said : "Human emotions are but poorly expressed by words. When the first vague rumours of the terrible event in this city, which has been so fitly named ' the great calamity,' went through the land a few days ago all hearts felt a shock like that of a sudden and awful personal bereavement. Then, as the tidings came more distinctly over the wires and the fearful disaster took shape and form in the minds of the people, it seemed for a time to. oppress all hearts like a nightmare, the pulse of life throbbed heavily, and human utterance failed under the crushing sense of sorrow which pervaded the land; soon the currents of feeling began to flow, and now, for many days, heartfelt expressions of condolence and sub stantial manifestations of sympathy have been flowing towards Richmond like a great tide. No right-minded and true-hearted man can help feeling this vast development of unaffected good will, so strikingly devoid of everything like sectional or party feeling, the gleams of radiance which, in God's good providence, so often brighten the darkest clouds of human grief. hen, two days since, we took our seats upon this bench, our eyes and hearts alike missed familiar faces upon the bar. Let us thank God that those whose voices were oftenest heard here, yet sur vive; may the Great Physician comfort their sorrowing household and give them speedy and complete restora tion. But there were other members of the bar who will never again join in honouraple contentions. One has gone in the ripened fulness of ripened years; another ' with the distinctions of his profession clustering thick upon him, having already won these heights of public estima tion, from which the escort to the highest seemed easy and sure ; another, younger;' yet mature, treading with firm steps the upward paths of usefulness and. honour. How terribly does such a calamity as'this rebuke our vain expectations, how impressively does it admonish every one of us to look beyond the shadows of time to the realities of eternity, It is said among those dying— crushed under eat mass of ruins—there were some who could yet exchange a few faint words with their com panions in that fearful place. None of them which have been related by the rescued have impressed me so much as that of one mangled and broken sufferer , who still found strength to exclaim:— Oh:! Death, where is thy sting Oh ! Grave, where is thy victory ?' ",What a triumph was that ! What a testimony to the incomparable worth of Christian faith ! So, in the very depth of this awful distress and anguish open springs of human sympathy and fountains of sublimest heavenly comfort; let us take these lessons to our hearts. This is a day of humiliation and prayer. The churches will be filled with worshippers. Let us carry into them not merely the burden of sorrow, but also the consolations of faith, ever remembering that all is God. If He but wave His hand the rains collect, the winds blow shrill and loud, till, with a smile of light, on sea, on land, lo ! He looks back from the d e parti n g cloud. His will be done." Intelligence was received to-day from Mayor Fox, of Philadelphia, that additional funds had been raised there for the sufferers here.—New York Herald. ' CONTRIBUTIONS FROM NORTHERN CITIES, RICHMOND, May 5, 1870. A circular has been issued by David J. Burr, the Presi dent of the Chamber of Commerce ; General Mulford, ex-United States Agent of Exchange ; John Purcell, chairman of the Distributing Committee ; and Isaac Davenport, jun., President of the First National Bank, Treasurer of the Relief Committee, announcing that arrangements, thorough and complete, for distributing the funds received here are in operation. The committee has been so organised as to insure aid to all the sufferers by the late calamity. The treasurer has received 5,000 dols. to-day f rom Northern cities. Admiral Charles Crowdy died at Cheltenham on Tuesday, in his 84th year. He served at the battle of Copenhagen, April 2, 1801. He retired on obtainin, o o - post rank in 1834, became Rear-Admiral on the Retired List, 21st October, 1856 ; Vice-Admiral, 1863 ; and Admiral, 1867. 0 A GOOD BEGINNING. 00' Miss BarkaloO, the female attorney, bas , 8 her professiorial career in St. Louis in a Pe 3— , tl ll way, which does her credit.
