Sarah Anne Chetley,a child 11 years old, was placed in the felon's dock charged with numerous delinquencies. Miss Sarah Dale, mistress of a Protestant school in Camera-square, Chelsea, in connection with York Chapel, said that the prisoner had been one of the children educated there. Of late there had been numerous complaints of losses by the other scholars. One had lost a purse, a few halfpence, and a ring, another a scarf, a third a feather, a fourth a ball of worsted, and a fifth another article. It was difficult to know who to suspect, but wit ness observing something bulky in prisoner's bosom searched her, and found the worsted. She then admitted stealing the purse from a child's bag, and said she sold it at - a rag shop kept by a man named Ford. Ford produced the purse with the ring in it. Mr. Arnold--Your conduct in buying anything of a child like this is very disgraceful. It opens the door to crime by such facilities being afforded for the disposal of property. Ford—She said she brought it from her father. Mr. Arnold—You had uo right to have bought it of such a child. Miss Dale—The clergyman of the school would not have given her in charge, but he found she had been before committed. The police said she had been committed for 14 days for felony. Prisoner was remanded to be sent to a reforma ,ory. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 22, 1868. SHARE LIST. MISCELLANEOUS, 10 Anglo-American Tel., Um. all 21. 211 211 10 Anglo-Mediter.

Three weeks hence we shall be in the midst of them. "Term " at common law commences to-day. Within a few days all the appeals—there are only about thirty—will have been settled, and the register being complete, the constituencies being marked out, there will be nothing left but for them to choose their representatives. It is, however, to be noted that under the Special Registration ict for this year it is not necessary to wait for the result of the appeals before issuing the writs. In the towns the Conserva tives themselves admit that the representatives will be overwhelmingly Liberal. The Tory hope is in the counties. But even there it seems on the whole probable that the Liberals will fight a good fight ; and it is a question whether they will not gain the victory. In the " metropolitan counties : " as they are . called, the Liberal victory is sure. The real Liberal battle, therefore, will be in the agricultural counties. In these, even, there has been an increasing Liberal feeling—Cam bridgeshire to wit. There, Messrs. Young and Brand seem likely to " score up well," in opposition to Lords Royston and George Manners. Even in Cornwall, of old a great Tory stronghold, it seems probable that at least a Liberal will be returned for one of the di , . isions. Then there are the universities. Cambridge will probably return her two Tory members ; but in Oxford this is by no means so certain. Sir Roundell Palmer stands a very good chance against Mr. Mow bray. There is some talk of an endeavour being made on the part of the Conservatives to snatch a member in some of the towns where the Liberals are not on the alert. The Speaker's seat even is threatened, the moving opponent being the Duke of Portland. But it is reckoned safe by his friends. ELECTORAL FREEDOM. A man named Broadwick, in the employment of Messrs. W. Harrison and Sons, of Blackburn, wanted to qualify himself as a voter, and required a few hours' leave of absence to do so. This was refused, and he left his work, in spite of threats that he must take the consequences. He was not allowed to return to his employment, his wages were forfeited, and when summoned before the magistrates he was ordered to pay five shillings compensation to Messrs. Harrison. Mr. Samuel Plimsoll, of Whiteley Wood Hall, Sheffield, has sent Vi to the Manchester Examiner for the use of the man, and suggests that workmen should have legal right given them to absent themselves from work to register. LEGISLATION ON RITUALISM. The Church News states that it has heard on the " best authority" that her Majesty's Government have no intention of legislating on Ritualism, though Mr. Grove, the Liberal member for Wilts, supported by Lady Herbert's influence, and many of his politi cal friends, are pledging themselves to legislation against the Ritualists. Che sara, sara ; but the case stands at present thus. Neither party in the State has pledged itself to legislate in the matter, though many candidates on either side have promised to support the Government in doing so. TIIE EEV. C. VOYSEY. We are in a position to state, with reference to the alleged forthcoming prosecution of Mr. Voysey by the Archbishop of York, at the instigation of the Bishop and the Dean of Ripon, that no intimation of such prosecution has at present reached the authorities of the Ecclesiastical Courts. Mr. Voysey is vicar of ilealaugh, and the author of " The Sling and the Stone. DISTIOP AND VICAR. It was stated a short time ago that the Vicar of llaydock would before long resign his living. The Warrington Guardian now speaks with some autho rity on the matter. That journal says : "We are now enabled to state at once, on the best authority, that the bishop moved on learning the facts as they appeared in the Guardian, and that his letter of monition to Mr. Green-well, should it find its way into print legiti mately, would prove that probably he had taken a better method of managing the llaydock matter than the more public way o another bishop. The effect of the correspondence is that Mr. Green well retires from Haydock, and we believe he has no present intention of resuming clerical duties, and certainly not • in connection with the Church of Rome." Mr. Greenwell must be made of very diffe rent stuff from other Ritualist innovators, or Dr. Jacobson must be a tactician. & LIQUOR-SELLER IN FAVOUR OF THE PrIVIISSIVF. 1311 L. Most liquor-sellers manifest great terror lest two thirds of the people should have power to prevent them selling, and we have been accustomed to reckon then all as opponents of the bill. The United Kingdom Alliance has not yet enrolled many drink-sellers amongst its members, but one of " the trade," at Bolton, has just declared before a meeting of his coatfreres th:Lt he is willing to stake his license upon . the decision of a two-thirds majority of the ratepayers or inhabi tants. Whether he has been converted by the eloquent and convincing speeches of Sir Wilfrid Lawson and Dr. F. It. Lees, or whether his own common sense has led him to cease resisting the rising tide of public opinion in favour of the bill, it is a fact that there is now at least one chink-seller who is not afraid of the people. At present, however, the United Kingdom Alliance must not rely much upon publican support. The member of " the trade " who thus declared himself unhostile to the Alliance was not very popular ; angry feeling rose to such a pitch that the meeting, which was assembled to discuss the political action most desirable on the part of pub licans, did not break up before blows were actually interchanged by some zealous, but not dignified, dis pensers of liquor. TIIE DISTRESS OF CLERICS. Among the cruelest results of those fits of reckless speculation which invariably end in a panic, must be reckoned the distress which is caused to the employs s of merchants and bankers. It is now stated that there are thousands of these clerks out of employment, and with no demand for their labour. Many of such men have wives and families, and with all due economy have not been able to lay by sufficient for a " rainy day." The market is always overstocked with men who are ambitious of getting their living by their pen, and who would have been much more likely to get on by learning some mechanical trade ; but the fact of such a state of things is much to be regretted. The great merchant or financier generally manages to fall on his legs, and though his " sins be as scarlet," they are washed as " white as wool "in the court ; he starts again in the world with a reputation for business, and is again trusted by his dupes. Th e su ff er i ngs of his subordi nates are forgotten. A DIN OP T:IIEVES. • Our cathedrals are not always put to the noblest uses. New St. Paul's is not exactly turned into a fair, like the old cathedral but it is a favourite promenade and trysting-place. Westminster Abbey is positively unsafe, and before going there to service it will be necessary to take the same precautions as are required for a visit to Petticoat-lane, and leave one's money and valuables behind. A gentleman writes to the Times to say that his daughters attended afternoon service, and sat near the reading-desk. During the service a man with the appearance of a gentleman kept his eyes fixed on them, and when they were leaving the church one of them felt a slight pressure on her arm, and immediately after found that she had lost her watch and purse. The verger, when appealed to, remonstrated with her upon the folly of carrying her money with her to such places, as robberies in the Abbey were of daily occurrence. There surely cannot he much difficulty in putting a stop to these practices at the ordinary daily services, although they are not so easily pre vented in the Sunday crush, when this robbery took place. A notice to beware of pickpockets would look more ugly than the prohibition to touch the monu ments. THE TURF. Mr. Padwick has inserted a correspondence between Admiral Rous and himself in the columns of the Times. It refers to the scratching of The Earl for the Derby and St. Leger. Mr. Padwick commences by complaining .that the Jockey Club refused to institute an inquiry into the circumstances, and then calls upon the Admiral to reduce to some distinct form the imputations contained in a letter he had written to the Times. The Admiral consents to do so, if Mr. Padwick will explain why The Earl ran at Newmarket in that gentleman's name and colours in the Biennial, and received forfeit in the match " Mr. Padwick's The Earl against See-Saw." Mr. Padwick replies that he had a bill of sale on The Earl and other racehorses, as security for a loan. The winnings of the horse were never carried to Mr. Padwick's private account, but placed to a separate account, and every shilling appropriated by Messrs. Weatherby to the payment of the forfeits and engagements of the horses sold to various persons by Lord llasrlings, and on Lord Exeter's conditions. Mr. Padwick sent the Admiral some letters of Messrs. Weatherby bearing on the point. Admiral Rous simply returns the letters, in a letter remarkable for its brevity : " Sir, I return Mr. Weatherby's letters." A fortnight passes, and. Mr. Padwick calls again upon the silent oracle. Tht .Delphic utterances are not very satisfactory when they come from the autocrat of the Turf. The Admiral says that the explanation he awaited was that to be given at the ensuing trial of Day v. Rous. and that he does not feel justified in saying more at present. When the great washing-day comes and the dirty linen is produced in court, the public will tie doubtless much edified. FIELD FORTIFICATIONS. The reviews held lately at Shoeburyness and els e , imve raid ;mrinrtant auestious with regard to the manag emen t of our troops. Clue of these is that of field fortifications. In this matter we do not seem . to have been very active. As a matter of fact all armies are behind. But in time of war that country which could erect the best shields in the shortest time on the field of battle would run the best chance of winning. Our engineers seem to have turned their thoughts in a great measure to getting the best permanent forts —and the best, according to Captain Sherard Osborn, are worth nothing at all. If the engineers were, as has already been suggested, made to teach the infantry lines how to cast up entrenchments, and in time of war were so disposed as to superintend the work of men of the line, much would be gained. Or, at any rate, let us have some system under which the shining pickax es a re put to a better use than to glitter in th sun on the field of a review. WHAT'S IN A NAME There are some people the world would willingly "let die," if it were allowed to do so. • The other party to the arrangement is not always so willing,. There is "Agnes Windham Walker," for instance, who is determined to remind society of her existence. She writes to the Telegrapl& to comment upon the case, " Electric Telegraph Company v. Windham," upon which Mr. Commissioner Kerr adjudicated the other - day. She has two complaints—one as to the result of the action, the other as to the commissioner's course in reading the telegram in court. By this the public learnt that she sent a message to Cuba for one " Silvio" to present himself before her in a month or give her up. It appears that " Silvio " had the wisdom to adopt the latter course, and then, Mr. Walker being second on the list, she married him. We have one of the sad dest and most disgraceful episodes of modern life. thus reopened. Of coufse Mrs. Walker's reputation had nothing to lose. • THE LONG PMIL The swindlers known as the " Long Firm" chew such remarkable vitality that they deserve the name as well on account of their protracted existence as they do for the number of r ogues in th e partnership. They have been ordering goods in the name of the Hon. C. and Mrs. Howard, of Dacre Castle, and write from Germany. Although no Howards live at Dacre Castle, traders are seduced into executing their orders. Messrs. J. M. Rendall and Co., of the Strand, write to a contemporary to state that the firm has been checked in some of its swindles. Messrs. Wheelerand Wilson have recovered a sewing machine by telegraphing to the Steam Navigation Compaivss agent at Hamburg, and that gentleman hes;tates to forward several cases addressed to the swindlers. The - victimised may, therefore, yet recover their goods by communicating with tile agent. Two firms have recovered property by the letters and efforts of Messrs. Rendall. One would think that the younger sons of the nobility were particularly noted for prompt payment, or it would not be such a favourite dodge for people to put a handle to their names at the commencement of a swindling career. Whether " The Honourable " is a guarantee of prompt cash ) radesinen best know. THE END OF THE " DINNER " QUESTION. Last year the Telegraph, being in want of a "sensa tion," took up, with a great deal of g ush, the q ues ti on of dinners for the cle r k s o f the metropolis. See here (said our contemporary) is our rising generation being fed on. indigestibles, at a large cost, and in a shabby way. The result was, that the clerks actually began to think themselves ill-used. After many grumblings a large meeting was held, at whiCh it was resolved to establish some ten dining-rooms, to be conducted with little or no profit. The Telegraph gave up the subject, however; the clerks settled down, and began to feel that after all they were getting good dinners for their money, and the directors of the new company found it as much as they could do to found one hall. • They succeeded in . doing that, and on Wednesday a meeting was called to receive - their report. From that it appears that the clerks prefer the OH places to the new one, that the whole thing has been a failure, and the company is some 00 or £7OO in debt. But they still intend to continue their " experiment," and another appeal is made that the clerks may be free from the control of those remorse less tyrants, dining-room proprietors. FOREIGN NOTES. INDIA. A City firm has received a comparatively reassuring reply to inquiries respecting the rumours of famine in North- West India. Scarcity prevails in that district, but not famine. The cotton crop is fully equal in quantity and superior in quality to that of last year. AMERICA. The Times Philadelphia correspondent telegraphs that Seymour and Blair have not been withdrawn as the Demo cratic candidates for the Presidency and Vice-Presidency.' Mr. Seymour begins his speech-making tour forthwith. There is nothing here, however, that we have not antici pated. It is added that General Grant's election is con sidered certain. The Democrats are somewhat demoralised. No- doubt of it ; otherwise the most insensate " bolter" would not have thought of changing candidates at this stage of the contest, still less of substituting Chief Justice Chase for Mr. Seymour. The former, we believe, would have been the better candidate ; but he received no sup port at the Democratic Convention, and would not have the slightest. chance now. THE GOVERNMENT OP SPAIN. Whilst the Spanish monarchists are looking for a candi date the Republicans are not idle. It is thought by many that the tardiness of the Provisional Government is giving Republicanism an excellent chance of success. The Demo crats are n o t a numerous party, but their doctrines are easily promulgated and are readily accepted by a newly freed people, confident in its power and ability for self government. Against a suitable prince the republic could have had no chance whatever ; but in the absence of a candidate the principle of Republicanism may triumph over that of monarchy. The Democrats are busycanvassing. They have held a great meeting, at which their doctrines were almost unanimously approved. In Catalonia Democracy has always been strong, and it is gaining strength in other provinces. "What is required to counteract this activity is a name. Says the correspon dent of the herald : "Men follow a name when they will not follow a principle. Get come good-looking young prince to come forward, speak of his private virtues and character, circulate his portrait, and tell a few stories of his boyhood, and hundreds of thousands of the uneducated classes will vote for him who would otherwise have gone for the fasci nating name of a republic." Rather a curious tone for the Herald to adopt ; but the philosophy is sound, neverthe less. The monarchists hold the reins of power, and they are far superior in number, but anything may be lost by inactivity. The Duke of Montpensier is said to have applied for permission to return to his residence at Seville. The assertion of the Gazette de France that Prince Fer dinand of Coburg had refused the crown of Spain is sup ported by the North-East Correspondence. It says :" In our diplomatic circles it is positively known that Prince Ferdinand of Coburg, father of the King of Portugal, having been confidentially sounded on the question of accepting the crown of Spain, has given a peremptory negative. Ile has made a similar declaration for his sons." The Liberte, however, learns that the candidature of this prince gains ground in Spain. THE SCHOOLMASTER IN SPAIN, Up to the second of June last, clerical and secular edu• cation in Spain were allowed to work side by side ; but by a law of that date instruction was entrusted to the priests alone. At one blow Queen Isabella abolished normal schools, and placed all primary instruction under priestly control. In all parishes of less than five hundred inhabitants the schools were sup. pressed altogether, and the teaching required in such districts was not only controlled, but supplied by the priests only. The result was deplorable. " Wherever," says the special correspondent of the Tina:, " the Roman Catholic clergy are exclusively dominant, and their num. bers excessive, their eagerness as public instructors is apt to slacken." In Sardinia, where the ecclesiastics were a few years ago in the proportion of one to twenty-two ol the population, ignorance was more universal than in any other country of Europe. In Spain both religious and secular teaching have been greatly neglected. Now all this is to be changed. The law ol June, bas already been repealed. The Minister ol Public Works and Instruction has put an end to the ecclesiastical monopoly, established perfect freedom oi private education, re-opened primary schools, and reorganised the normal establishments. A complete scheme of education is to be brought before the Constituent Cortes. Instruction is to be free and open to all, emancipated from Church and State control. Everyone is to be allowed to open a school, to adopt his own method, to use his own books, and inculcate his own principles, without any inter ference of the authorities. Similar promise is Lot held out with respect to religion. Spain is the Catholic country par excellence ; dissent has never been tolerated either in the Spaniard or the foreigner. If Protestants, native or foreign, are allowed to open churches, it will be only on condition that no proselytism be attempted. As in Italy, so in Spain, Protestants may probably be allowed to live, but not to increase or multiply. Freedom of worship is very charily sp _len of in the manifesto of the Provisional Govern ment. EASTERN EUROPE. The news from the East is satisfactory. The temperate note which the Turkish Foreign Minister addressed to the Roumanian Government has been met by an equally conciliatory reply. The Roumanian Minister urges that the troubles in Bulgaria have ceased solely through the efficacious measures taken by the Roumanian authorities. There is no doubt that these " efficacious measures" were in the first instance taken for the benefit, not for the dis comfiture, of the Bulgarian insurgents. The peaceful assurances of the Roumanian Government may, however, as; a a. u arantee of peace for the present. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE--This ray. NEWMARKET RACES—Tuts DAY. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
