Mr. DISRAELI has acted with his usual discretion in giving Mr. GLADSTONE next Monday for the purpose of bringing forward his motion on the Irish Church, and doubtless the House fully appre ciated the wisdom of his resolve. The right hon. gentleman declared that when motions of such a character were brought forward, " one's natural feeling was to meet them as soon as may be per mitted by the state of public business and the con venience of the House." It was the more difficult on the present occasion for Mr. GLADSTONE to be satisfied, because the state of public business is just now not very satisfactory, owing to peculiar circumstances beyond the control of any one. The Premier has, however, contrived to get out of the awkward state of things very adroitly, and to meet the exigencies of the public service, while he accedes to the wishes of the right hon. gentleman the leader of the Opposition. Cheers from both sides of the House followed the announcement he made, to the effect that that day week would be the time he should give Mr. GLADSTONE. The Irish Reform Bill stands for that night, and the Government are very anxious that no time should be lost in pro ceeding with that measure, with a view to a " part of the arrangement necessary towards the ensuing dis solution of Parliament at the beginning of next year." It is true that the subject which Mr. GLADSTONE seeks to discuss is one of such paramount impor tance that the House has every reason to desire a long notice before entering into it, but under the circumstance% of the case this objection may be waived, and the House appropriately take the matter up at the time appointed. Should the debate conclude on the Friday following. the House could then adjourn for the Easter holidays, because it would not be a very convenient arrangement for other business to be taken up after so exciting a discussion, an d with so short a time to at tend to it. Mr. GLADSTONE, as might have been expected expressed his perfect satisfaction with the plan proposed by Mr. DISRAELI, and so it is arranged. Mr. GLADSTONE has put his mo tion in the form of three resolutions, to be moved in Committee, on acts relating to the Established Church in Ireland. The chief thing to notice in all this is the extreme want of tact that has been displayed in bringing forward this motion just now. Quite apart from the merits of the case, it is inopportune ; and so we believe the House feels and expects that it will show by its decision of next week. Mr. DISRAELI met the attack on the proposition about it with proper dignity ; that it was not the time to quibble about the propriety of hearing the discussion at all when it was the question of bringing it before the House ; but those who look on may, with perfect appropriate ness, consider the persistency which the right hon. gentleman has displayed in forcing the matter on the House. The game be is playing is not a fair one, although very likely he has so confused himself with his reasons and his crotchets that he himself cannot readily perceive it. He is seeking to commit the House to a hasty decision upon a point of great importance, while the result of such an attempt, if successful, must compromise the Ministry, and upset the public business of the House, and all for what? It seems hard to say that the meaning is to exchange the cold shade of Opposition for the sunny regions of Downing-street, but neverthe . kess the act may bear that interpretation. Why not, in the name of common sense and consistency, resolve to wait until a New Parliament shall have the opportunity of dealing with the momentous question of the Irish Church. We think that the worst part of Mr. GLADSTONE'S case is that he puts his opponent in a false position before the House and the country, by seeking to throw upon them the odium of an unpopu lar cause. The Irish Church has its champions, but those who would follow or direct the spirit of the age and put themselves at the head of a new Parlia ment, will not willingly appear as its advocates and upholders, at any rate, at any cost, and at any hazard. To discriminate then between the states men who seek for further information before they commit themselves to a final resolution, and declare that a moribund Parliament is not the fitting sphere for the decision whidi shall make the resolutions that have been held good for centuries, and those who, under the shadow of Liberalism and progress, are rampant to come to a conclusion at once is no doubt difficult, but the task is not beyond the powers of the House of Commons:; and we hope and expect that that assembly will be equal to the emergency, and rise to the occasion before it with commensurate dignity and spirit. It is well known that there has been a flaw somewhere in the affair of these resolu tions, and that Mr. GLADSTONE did not come, see, and conquer with all the celerity that he expect e d and desired. ,We call upon the independent THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH_ 24, 1868. members of the Liberal party to come forward on this occasion, as they have so often done before, and render good service to their party and the country by preventing the House from agreeing to Mr. GLADSTONE'S resolutions. We may add that the right hon.fgentleman himself, for his best friends and numerous admirers, will not desire to see him assume the responsibility of office, and enter upon a task for which he is well fitted, with the stigma attaching to his political reputation that he has not been sufficiently careful in his efforts to win the prize. Of course, any statesman has a right to make due exertions so reach the goal for which he is fitted, but the time and place must be taken into ac count, and no one can say that this last session of a worn-out and doomed Parliament, overburdened with work and almost weighed down by the accumulation of back ward business, is the appropriate time to debate on the abstract question of the Irish Church. Such is the plain truth, and we say it quite irrespectively of party feeling or prejudice, and entirely apart from the actual merits of the case. The Irish Church Establishment will not last, and another Parliament will not pass away until the question of its establishment is settled ; but looking to the present, and not to the future, we must protest against this hurried and inopportune conduct of Mr. GLADSTONE. He is making this desperate venture in support of a cause which he never advo cated when in power, and he is confusing the House just when it is important that immediate at tention should be given to other matters of impor tance. Let us hope, then, that this most undesir able and inappropriate discussion of next week will but afford another opportunity for the House of Commons to display its sense, spirit, and patriotistn, and by so doing it will deserve the confidence of the country, and set a good example to its succes sor to discriminate between the devices of faction and the claims of important public questions. In the best interests of all concerned in the affair, we must hope that Mr. GLADSTONE'S motion will be withdrawn, or else rejected by a large majority. There is invariably a good deal of discussion in the House of Commons on the introduction of the Army Estimates, though, as a matter of course, the Minister at War while he is answering the charges, deprecating the complaints, and parrying the ques tions, knows that he will get what he wants, and that when the House has gone through the regular formula the votes will be agreed to without altera tion. Hon. members having a vague idea that more money is spent than should be, and proud, perhaps, of their position as national purseholders, feel it their duty to criticise a little the formidable estimates submitted to them, but no one has a definite policy to propose—a fact plainlf indicated by the family resemblance of all such estimates, whatever Minister be at the head of the War-office, whatever ,party sit on the Treasury Bench. The army is like the navy, a costly and cumbrous esta blishment, which every one admits calls loudly for reform, but which no one knows how to set abou to reform. Now that we have seen Parliamentary Reform pass into the region of historical fact and out of the hopeless list of theoretical improvements, we may hope perhaps that one of these days a new House of Commons and a strong Ministry may have courage sufficient to assail the War Office, the Horse Guards, and all the stately, and costly, and useless paraphernalia which now serve to provide sinecures, amuse the country, and empty the Exche quer. Last year there was much discussion about the increasing difficulty of procuring recruits, and though the extreme depression of trade, and the consequent slackness of employment throughout the country, has probably modified the reluctance of young men to enlist, we shall have sooner or later to deal with the question in the abstract. The fact is we branches thepresent f up per ranks consist mainly of younger wealthy and aristocratic families, to whom the life and the occupation are full of fascination—who have interest to help them, and who regard the social position of au officer as a much more impor tant part of the profession than either military knowledge or experience. The rank and file, on the other hand, are drawn for the most part from the lowest ranks of the populace. We have a good share from the agricultural districts, it is true ; but the idlers, the worthless, the dissipated, those, i n short, who cannot, or will not. succeed in other pursuits, take refuge in the army. It is plain that we want greater inducements held out to the great middle classes. We want to make the army, both for officers and men, a profession in which an able, energetic, and high-principled young man can feel that he has a good chance of rising in the world by his own merits, his own abilities, and his own exer tions. As it is, the first question one naturally as ks when told that a young man holds a commission is, " Has he any interest ?" If that is answered in the negative, the next query will be as to his means of buying his promotion. Nobody is Quixotic enough to inquire as to his military talents, the extent of his studies, his atten tion to his duties. This is not the wav to obtain good officers or good soldiers, for it needs a good officer to get and to keep good soldiers, and to help in improving the position of those below him. We have, in fact, to thank our national qualities of stubborn courage and determination for much of our military success, for the means we adopt would, if tried among weaker framed and tamer-hearted nations, prove anything but satisfac tory in their results. The men, too, have much to complain of, and the temptations incidental to their life in: the abstract are increased tenfold by the manner of our military administration. If Sir JOHN PAKINGTON can suggest a few remedies for open and acknowledged evils he will do the country good service, and he may double his estimates next year, if he is still in office, without doing himself or his colleagues any harm. Thelmpeachment trial, we learn by the Atlantic Telegraph, came on yesterday before the Senate, when the old animus of the Radical party was once more strongly displayed. President JO HNSON ' S counsel filed an answer, denying all the impeach.. meat charges, and they applied for a delay of thirty days to prepare for the trial. The Senate refused this application by 41 votes against 12, being, as we know, most anxious to press on the matter to an abrupt conclusion. If we are to judge of the temper and judgment of the Senate by these figures there is not much chance of a fair, patient, and impartial trial. The accused, we may well be lieve, is already prejudged by those who are bound by their office to investigate the charges laid before them, and to give the accused every opportunity of stating his case. Thirty days, however, was too great a trial for the dominant party, who do not wish to give the country time to declare itself, or to allow any other opportunity r the friends and supporters of the PRESIDENT to de feat their machinations. What time the Senate did allow for the preparation of the defence is not stated; but we learn one thing by the brief summary before us. Mr. JOHNSON intends to appear by counsel, and to answer the charges made against him. At one time it was said that he would refuse to ro cognise the legality of the trial, and would make no attempt to defend himself. The course which he has adopted, however, is wiser, more po litic, and more constitutional, and, in a country like America, will be more popular. The facts of the case on. both sides, the arguments to be urged by the counsel, and even the decision of the tribunal, are already in possession of the public. They form the subject of every conversation, and have supplied matter for comment and speculation in every circle in New York and Washington. But it is more be fitting the dignity of the Presidential office, more respectful to the country at large, and more be fitting his character to meet his accusers face to face and rebut their charges. The PRESIDENT has never shown himself reluctant to meet an enemy or timorous in dealing with difficulties. His faults have been rather on the other side ; he has shown a degree of boldness which has amounted to rash ness, of independence which has given needless offence. This occasion, however, is one which calls for boldness, and unless the evidence to be produced at the trial be altogether different from the statements already made by the parties con cerned, it is difficult to see how even Radical prejudice can convict the PRESIDENT of treason to the State upon such shallow grounds. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, MONDAY, March 23. Things are not going well in France. Discontent is becoming very general, and is intensified every day as we see that the Emperor, while talking of peace, continues to increase his armaments. It was bad enough when the Army Reorganisation Bill was being discussed ; but now that it is being actually enforced the irritation is increasing to a formidable extent, and people are asking why they should be called upon to endure the burdens of war when they are compelled to knuckle under in every diplomatic negotiation. The most serious manifestation has taken place somewhat significantly in Bordeaux—the city where Napoleon some twelve years ago made his famous declara tion, l'Empire c'est la paix. The Bordelais will have it that the Emperor has altered his epigram into l'Empire c'est epje ; and they do not at all like the altera tion. I mentioned yesterday what the Etenclard said of the disturbance which took place in the metropolis of the vineyard: Friday. But as I suspected, the account was very much under-coloured. It appears that there was actual fighting in the streets. The mob were armed with great hammers and formidable sticks. The police first attacked and got severely handled. Then the prefect ap peared on the scene with his guard, and at last troops charged with drawn swords and the bayonet. This last was too much for the people, and there seems to have been a general stampede. The same even ing there were indications of fresh disturbances. The crowd began to reassemble in the principal streets, and thereupon the lancers were sent to disperse the people. Troops continued to patrol the city until two on Saturday morning. Some thirty or forty arrests were made. At Rennes " anarchical placards," as the Etendarcl styles them, have been circulated, and three young men have been arrested on the charge of writing them. Another significant symptom of the prevailing discontent is, that at the elections which are taking place from time to time, both for the Corps Legislatif and the Conseils G6n6ianx, the Government finds it necessary to abstain from putting forward candidates, in order to avoid defeat. The Impe rial pamphlet has afforded another opportunity for expressing the popular dissatisfaction. It is quite true, 4ay the Liberal journals, that Citizen Louis Bonaparte obtained so many votes ; but why ? Because he swore to maintain the Republic. By way of shewing that the Emperor has been guilty of perjury, they republish the solemn declaration which he made when elected President. The semi-official Constitutionnel gives an absolute denial to the rumour that the Emperor intends to visit Berlin and St. Petersburg in the spring. Circumstances alter :vases. The statement may have been true a week ago, be false now, and true again next week. Prince Napoleon returned to the Palais Royal last night at ten o'clock, having visited Liege on the way. I am afraid that we are about to witness a severe fight in the Corps L6gislatif with respect to the Anglo-French commercial treaty. The severe depression of trade is making the manufacturers clamorous for a return to pro tection, and it is understood that they will make a great effort to induce the Corps L4gislatif to take that step after the Easter recess. If they succeed, this disaster will be another of the lamentable effects of the present enormous armaments. It is these which check industry, and which alone render the Protectionists formidable. Father Hyacinthe, the great preacher, has been treating of peace and war in his Notre Dame Conferences. He said that war presented itself under two aspects—now it was at the service of passion, now at the service of justice. He then made a long diversion in order to advo- cate the claims of small States. They were, he said, intended as a buffer to break the shock of two great nations coming into collision. Their capitals, such as Prague, Geneva, Brussels, and as Florence and Bologna formerly were, are centres of intellectual enlighten. ment. To make war upon them was a Pagan war ; to make war in their defence was a Christian war. He then went on to speak of the effects of peace. Peace 'ed to the accumulation of riches, and the accumulation of tithes to the corruption of manners. The result was that /lass was set against class, and there was need of a con queror to restore purity anti equilibrium. He then referred to Austria as an illustration of the national regeneration that often followed a calamitous war. English traders with China are very anxious to obtain a revision of the Treaty of Tien-Tsin. The Tien-Tsin com raunity have addressed the British Minister at Pekin, Sir Ctutherford Alcock, on the . subject, and they suggest, .mong other changes, that all foreign teachers of Chris_ ianity shall be placed on an equality as to rights and privileges Nthich may hereafter be granted by the Chinese ;overnment ; that foreigners shall be at liberty to buy hind or houses, to build boats, to construct railways and telegraphs, to own mines, and to importsalt. They also ask ('.tat the whole of _China proper and its dependencies shall e thrown open to foreign intercourse ; that the naviga tion of the Yellow River shall be opened ; that bonded warehouses shall be established, and that if goods, after icing sent up the interior, are returned unsold, the transit luties shall be remitted. This memorial is similar navy respects to others from Chambers of Commerce in Mina, and also from leading China merchants like rardine, Matheson, and Co. The Berlin correspondent of the Daily News says : "About three or four weeks ago very serious anxkty was felt here in higher regions than it would be discreet to fpecify, lest the Emperor Napoleon should find himself anequal to the task of keeping down certain hostile par ties in France, and should rush into a sudden war with Prussia as the only hope of self-preservation." It is be lieved now that the danger is past, and that the political oarometer once more points to peace. Prince Napoleon has nfused to pay a visit to Prince Frederick of Augustenburg, the late pretender to schleswig-Holstein, whose claims kindled two wars. The ?rench Emperor used to patronise this Prince ; as the Emperor's cousin has not done so, the inference is that Prussian ideas are in the ascendant at Paris. King George of Hanover has declared that his crown has been conferred upon him and his house by God, and that he will not abandon the least portion of that Divine eight. Whereupon the Etendard shrewdly remarks how Is it that all these princes who claim to be crowned by the Divine will never admit that they have been deprived of their crowns by the Divine will? If they will read the Old Testament they will find p'enty of instances in which 'led has changed dynasties. He does not create only : He overthrows and destroys, and the annihilation of a monar chy is as much His attribute as the erection. Whether there be a political alliance between Paris and rierlin is a matter still disputed ; but that there is a grow 'ng u nanimity of moral sentiment is only too clear. Parisian plays of the very laxest kind have been brought upon the Berlin stage, and at last some of the Borlin school -casters have addressed the gentlemen of the press solicit ing' their co-operation in the good work of raising the moral tone of metropolitan society. Vesuvius has been doing grand things. Such a long :ontinued intense eruption is not on record. On the -lights of the 10th to the 14th the spectacle was very sublime. Che intensity of the fire was so great as to penetrate and -elight the blackened walls at the top of the mountain, so that the entire summit of Vesuvius was one solid mass of 3urning fire. At times light clouds swept across the column of burning stones, cutting it in too, yet far above it rose the missiles, so large that they could be indi vidualised even at Naples. This display was preceded by tremendous thunderings, which shook the strongest nerves. M present it seems as if the well-known observatory must be destroyed. It will have been seen, from the Prime Minister's ob servations on Monday night, that the right hon. gentle man's intention is to dissolve Parliament at the beginning of next year, when the electors created by the Act of last session will for the first time exercise the privileges of the franchise. The Scotch and the Irish Reform Bills and the respective boundary arrangements will have been passed and determined upon this year. It is inferred by many, from the tone of the right hon. gentleman's remarks, that the Government would quietly accept a defeat on Mr. Gladstone's motion, and push on the public business as though nothing had happened. The eve of the Easter holidays will speedily become as famous for party struggles as the eve of the Derby a few years ago. Last session, on the night before the House broke up for the recess, Mr. Gladstone sustained his memo rable defeat on the personal payment of rates principle ; this year Easter is a week earlier, and again has the eve of the adjournment been fixed for a division which is to decide the fate of a Ministry. The leader of last year's secession (Mr. Dillwyn) is one of the bitterest enemies of the Irish Church in the House of Commons, and can now have no possible excuse for refusing to follow the chief whom he then repudiated. Mr. Blanchard Jerrold does not seem to have been in earnest in his candidature at Coventry. Mr. Carter has been prosecuting a vigorous contest in the Liberal interest, and Mr. Staveley Hill is actively at work on the side of the Conservatives. The nomination will take place tomorrow, and the polling on Thursday. Two important Lancashire towns are earnestly contend ing for the honour of receiving the Royal Agricultural Society in 1869. On Monday an influentially-attended meeting was held at ISlanchester, the Mayor in the chair. It was determined to take immediate steps to secure, if possible, the meeting for next year in that city. A com mittee was appointed to make the necessary arrangements. Liverpool, not to be behind her old rival, lead a public) meeting on the same day, and with a similar object. An invitation to the Royal Agricultural Society was for. warded, and a minimum contribution of £3,000 towards Cho expenses was guaranteed. LATEST INTELL MENGE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) PORTUGAL.

The drama has been admirably placed upon the stage, and the ladies and gentlemen engaged in its performance could not, by any possibility, have been better selected. Of course we need not enter into the particulars of the drama, as the story is so universally known. We have only to com pliment the artists, who each gave a truly life-like embodiment to the characters they were called upon to sustain. That Mrs. Dion Boucicault should have made a gude Jeannie Deans was only to be expected from one " native and to the manner born." Her efforts were enthusiastically applauded, to every round of which she was fully entitled. Miss Litton, as Effie Deans, performed her part with simplicity and grace, and Mr. Leeson, as the Laird of Dumby dikes, was a perfect embodiment of the part as drawn by the Wizard o' the North. Mr. Maclean as David Deans was remarkably good, and the great ability with which he supported the part cannot but greatly add to his professional reputa tion as one of our best Scottish actors. Mr. Bouci cault appeared in the small part of Counsel fur the Defence, and although only engaged in one scene he gave the character great prominence by his excellent representation of it. Mr. J. G. Neville made a capital Geordie Robertson, and Mr. Cath cal t, as Ratcliffe the gaoler, deserved much com mendation. The great scene in the d r a ma , o f course, is the attack on the Edinburgh Tolbooth, which was particularly real and highly effective— rivalling, in fact, the great fire scene in the " Streets of London." The applause of the audience at the fall of the curtain was enthusiastic, and a long and prosperous run is certainly in store for the drama of " Effie Deans"—a career it richly deserves for cer tainly the management has spared nothing that could tend to heighten its telling situations and stage effects.

The market has a steady tone, but there is not an active inquiry, for either raw or refined. COFFEE —Recent imports have enlarged the stocks to 14,600 tons, against 8,900 last ;ear, but deliveries are well kept up, and the market is steady, with a fair demand. Rum.—Stock, 2,270 puncheons against 26,000 puncheons last year. Rates are well supported, but there is not much passing. COTTON. LIVERPOOL, March 2 4.—Sales to-day prbbably 10,000 bales. Market quiet and unchanged. MANCHESTER, Menday.—From the tone which prevailed on Saturday it was anticipated that this market would have shown some improvement to-flay. Such, however, has not been the case, as buyers have shown less desire to do business than they did at the close of last week. Tele grams from Calcutta to the 17th inst. of an unfavourable stature had rather a depreni ug effect• THE TICIIBORNE BARONETCY. One effect of the law's delay in the Tichborne case is that paragraphs find their way into the newspapers which, intentionally or unintentionally, give dire offence to the contending parties. Now it is depositions which are de tailed and commented on prematurely, now some circum stance which at first sight seems of the most general in terest, but which is afterwards contradicted or protested against as prejudicing the case, and now again a letter from a relative or a solicitor volunteering an opinon which, though of interest to a gossip-loving public, is without strict value in law. The funeral of the poor lady whose inquest was commented on the other day has furnished the latest illustration of our meaning. The public were circumstantially informed how Lord Arundel and Mr. Alfred Seymour were "extruded " from their position as chief-mourners by "the Australian claimant," whose height and figure were imported some what unnecessarily into the description ; while the black face and " white goatee " of the negro accompanying him furnished light and shade to a description which was sufficiently graphic to annoy. Following on this a letter appears in yesterday's Times from the solicitor of the alleged Sir Roger Tichborne, complaining that "opponents rush into print for an obvious purpose," and that "an untrue account of the proceedings at the funeral" has been given. All whom it may concern are informed that " through the kindn s of Colonel Lushington, who occupies Tichborne House, Sir Roger Tichborne and his numerous friends were received as guests at the family mansion ;" that the late dowager, " only a few minutes previous to her death, wrote a letter exhibiting the greatest anxiety for his (the claimant's) welfare ;" and that the latter "is ready to concur in waivering all technical legal objections, and go at once before a jury of his countrymen for the purpose of fairly trying the matter out." The negro with "the white goatee" is " the faithful and much-respected black servant of the late Sir Edward Doughty ;" some other circumstances are added, and some explained away ; and the public is gratified by another peep into this strange family mystery. IRISH DIOCESES. The census returns of 1861 give the following account of the number of persons belonging to the Established Church —men, women, and children all told—in the several dio ceses of Ireland. The Archbishop of Armagh, Primate of all Ireland, who is also Bishop of Clogher, is returned as presiding over 150,778 souls, being rather more than 23 per cent. of the entire population of the two dioceses. The Archbishop of Dublin with the diocese of Kildare annexed is returned as presiding over 112,766 souls, being a fraction over 18 per cent. of the population of those two dioceses ; the Bishop of Down and Connor, 108,993 souls, being nearly 20 per cent. of the population of those dio ceses ; the Bishop of Dromore, Derry, and Raphoe, 110,425 souls, being above 17 per cent, of the population. These four are the only prelates having in their dioceses belonging to their Church so many as 100,000 souls, or so large a proportion as a tenth of the population of their dioceses ; they are the dioceses comprising the Irish metropolis and the north-west, and including 42 per cent. of the population of Ireland. Of the other 58 per cent. the census tells a different tale. The best return is that for the united dioceses of Kilmore, Ardagh, and Elphin, shewing 53,196 souls —men, women, and children—belonging to the Established Church, being less than 10 per cent. of. the 547,891 inhabitants of those dioceses. Next stands the Bishop of Ossory, Ferns, and Leighlin, presiding over 35,663 souls, being between 8 and 9 per cent. of the population of the dioceses. The Bishop of Cork, Cloyne, and Ross is returned with 43,223 souls, or a fraction over eight in a hundred of the people. The Bishop of Meath, 16,289 souls, being above 6 per cent. of the population. Last come four dioceses containing together above 1,600,000 souls, nearly 28 per cent. of the population of Ireland, and each of the four having less than one in twenty of its population belonging to the Established Church. The Bishop of Killaloe, Kilfenora, Clonfert, and Kilmacdaugh is returned as presiding over 15,906 souls, or 4'71 per cent. of the population ; the Bishop of Limerick, Ardfert, and Aghadoe, 15,103 souls, or 3'83 per cent. of the people ; the Bishop of Cashel, Emly, Waterford, and Lismore, 13,853 souls, or 3'73 per cent, of the inhabitants ; and the Bishop of Tuam, Kil lala, and Achonry, 17,157 souls, being 3'37 per cent. of the populati n. in e Vie returns were made, the popula tion of Ireland has become less by about a quarter of a million. THE YORKSHIRE LAMBING SEASON.—The lamb ing of the Leicester ewes is now at the full, and farmers generally say the season is one of the greatest promise. The weather could not possibly have been finer, and the yield is excellent, single lambs being quite a rarity. There has been very little mortality, so far, among the ewes. THE SUSPECTED MURDER OF A Boy BY HIS FATHER.—The adjourned inquest on the body of John Thomas Woolcott, aged nine years, who met his death by drowning in the Regent's Canal, was resumed on Monday in the Essex-road, Islington. The prisoner's mother was examined, and said that her husband (prisoner's father) was a lunatic. After some conversation as to the necessity of having the prisoner present, and a reference to the fact of the prisoner's eldest boy being missing, th inquest was again adjourned. THE DISTRESS IN THE EAST-END OF LONDON. A meeting of the United Executive Committee for the Relief of Exceptional Distress in the East of London has been held at the Mansion House ; the Lord Mayor in the chair. Mr. Haly, the hon. secretary, reported that the total subscriptions to the fund had now reached rather over £5,000, and that there remained a balance in hand of about £220. He also stated that Miss Burdett Coutts had given another donation of £133 through the committee to the Bethnal-green Employment and Relief Association, in order to enable it to continue its opera tions until the end of March. Mr. Spence said, with the small sum now in hand it would be useless to attempt to distribute it among the various local districts, and he there fore suggested that it should be handed over to the East end Emigration Society, whose efforts I al be qi st. pped by the formation of the United Executive Committee. This was agreed to, and that committee was recommended to the support of the public. The Rev. Mr. Hansard said he observed in the public press that it was stated that the committee had proved a failure. He wished to state his conviction that, however much it might have failed in some people's opinion, it had demonstrated the fact that it was quite possible for large parochial associations to co-operate with a central executive committee, and that was worth something. After considerable discussion the committee adjourned sine die. MR. JUSTICE MELLOR ON WORKHOUSE MIS UANAGEMENT.— Mr. Justice Mellor, in charging the grand jury at the Liverpool Assizes, made some very strong and indignant observations relative to the death of an infant who had been scalded to death byn imbecile nurse in the Wigan workhouse. His lordship said that he had read the depositions with very great pain, for he found from them that the prisoner charged with the crime was an imbecile, perfectly unfit and incompetent to have anything to do with children. One witness deposed that she had frequently done the duty which devolved upon the imbeci:e woman, because she thought her entirely unfit to have the care of an infant child. It appeared to be the practice at the Wigan workhouse that the halt, the lame, and the blind—persons incompetent for anything—were put to tender and difficult duties. He could not help thinking that it was a very sad thing that the lives of the infants in the infant ward at Wigan were entrusted, as it appeared to him, to persons utterly unfit and incapable, simply because they could discharge no other duty—not because they were wholly unfit for that particular duty, but be cause they could do nothing else. He did hope that ,the publicity given to this case would call some attention to the management of the Wigan workhouse, because it was impossible that those people in the workhouses could have the same advantages and 'comforts which were obtained by and which prevailed amongst people in independent Circumstances. Yet, because they were children of the poor they were not to be handed over to persons who were wholly unfit and incompetent for the management of them. NATIONAL EDUCATION.—A deputation from the Corporation of Birmingham has waited upon the Right Hon. B. DisraA, at his official residence, Downing-street, and presented a memorial on the subject of national edu cation. The deputation, which was introduced by Mr. Dixon, M.P., consisted of the mayor (Mr. Thomas Avery), Alderman Sadler, Councillor Edwards, and Mr. Standbridge, the town clerk. After a few words, the Mayor read the memorial, which recommended the introduction into Parliament of a comprehensive measure of national education, based on local rating and manage ment in union with State aid, and including compulsory provisions directed against parents who neglected to avail themselves of the means of education so afforded. He further illustrated the importance of a compulsory mea sure by a comparative statement of the numbers attend ing schools with those not receiving any instruction in the town of Birmingham. Alderman Sadler mentioned that the Factory Act had recently been extended to the trades in Birmingham, and manufacturers had found it more con venient to discharge the children in their employ than submit to the regulations imposed by the Act. Those children were now wandering about the streets, and the corporation was utterly unable to provide them with education. Mr. Disraeli expressed in warm and flattering terms his pleasure at meeting the deputation. lie noticed during the reading of the memorial that certain points enforced by the corporation of Birmingham had also been taken up by a deputation from Manchester a short time ago. The deputation having thanked the First Lord for his courtesy, withdrew. r• - • ‘.6lllrt _ - ' eintlat HER MAJESTY. WINDSOR CASTLE, March 23. The Queen drove out this morning, attended by Viscountess Clifden. Their Royal Highnesses Princess Louise and Princess Beatrice also went out.

AN UNEXPECTED VISITOR AT A SCHOOL OF ALT.—David Stobo, of No. 51, Cirencester-place, painter, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, w ith being found in the house, No. 72, Bolsover-street, the West London School of Art, supposed for an unlawful purpose. Mr. AP/death, of the West London School of Art, said th 4 on the previous night, about eleven o'clock, while at supper he heard a noise in the modelling room, and on going down found that an easel on which was a model had been upset, and was lying on the floor, and the defendant was-lying along side of it apparently drunk. lie roused the defendant, asked him what brought him there, when he said that he did not know, and that he had lost himself. Ile told the defendant that be had better get up, and the defendant then said that be lived at No. 51, Cirencester-place. Thinking the defendant's story might be true, that he was drunk, it would be the best plan to see him home) he called a young man to assist him in taking him home. They got nearly as far as Cirencester-place, when the defendant abused him and challenged him to fight, and then thinking that perhaps his story might not be true, he called a constable and gave him into custody. The defendant said that he bad been out with a few friends, took too much to drink, and must have taken the gentleman's house for his own by mis take. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the defendant had repaid the complainant very ill indeed, and would have to pay a fine of .53. Mr. M'lleath said that the model, the work of some weeks, was spoilt. Putting it at the least, the damage was 15s. Mr. Tyrwhitt further ordered the defendant to pay a fina of 63., and the 15s. damage. WESTMINSTER. THE CASE OF SCALDING IN A CONVENT.-- Margaret Walsh, a teacher at the school field at the Convent of the French Soeurs de Charito do St. Vincent de Paul, Ashley-place, Pimlico, was finally examined and appeared in discharge of her bail, charged with assaulting Ellen Brown, a child of the tender age of four years, by scolding it in a copper. Mr. W. D. Smyth, solicitor, of Rochester-rosy, appeared to prosecute for the Society for the pro tection of Women and Children, 20, Haymarket. Mr. Bury Hutchinson defended ; and Mr. Miller, of Clifford's-inn, watched the case for the Convent authorities. The facts of the case have been often detailed; the prosecution not endeavouring to get a convic tion on the more serious charge of feloniously wound ing with intent, &c., but merely prosecuting for the common assault. The evidence had been very conflicting, and Dir. Smyth, on the last occasion, could not give an idea of the injury the child had sustained; therefore the case was remanded for the attendance of the sur geon from St. George's Hospital—who was sum moned—and the evidence copied in deposition for committal for trial. It must be borne in mind that the school is in 11 0 way connected with the convent, nor the convent with the school ; it was formally held in West minster, but the premises coming down for the rail way, the Rev. Father Kirke, the principal, leased or rented part of the convent to carry on the school temporarily. Since the occurrence the defendant has left the school. Dr. Ms er said—l am house surgeon at St. George's Hospital. I have had under my care et the hospital a child of the name of Ellen Brown• The first time I saw her was on the 4th of March. She was scalded from just below the knee to 0 ° ankle—not the feet. The scalds were of the same height within half an inch. The child was in dan ger three or four days from fever, consequent on the burns. The child is out of danger now, and will be well probably in a fortnight. Mr. Arnold—There is always some danger of a relapse, and I cannot complete the case until the child is able to leave the hospital. I think, under the circumstances, there would be no objection t° adjourn the case for a fortnight, and extend the bail. The objection was made, and the case was ad journed till this day fortnight. THAMES. A ROGUE IN THE PEOPLE'S MARKET.—David Lester, a journeyman butcher, employed in the People's Market, 'Whitechapel-road, was brough t before Mr. Benson, charged with inciting and en" deavouring to:persuade William Charles Norris, youth, to commit a felony. Mr. John M'Call, the proprietor of the People s° Market, 272, Whitechapel• road, explained the mod e of carrying on business there. One person was I,ll °, seller, another took the money, an d a thi r d e ntere d the article sold and the money paid for it in a book; The prisoner was a seller. He sold a shoulder 01 mutton for 60. per pound, and it weighed 0 11 1 The price was 3s. 90., but the purchaser would Ile pay the odd halfpenny, and he carried it away f°l' 3s. 9d. When the_mutton was sold, the weighe r ' whose duty it was to weigh it and take the mon e y' was absent at his dinner, and the prisoner said to Norris, "Never mind about booking it, we 0 ° 13 .. , divide the money when we go out." Norris declin e d acceding to the prisoner's request, and subsequent l y o had an interview with Mr. M'Call, and made kne w to him the proposition of the accused, who wa forthwith given into custody. It was con sidere d necessary to make an example of the prisoner, oirin° to the many servants employed in the market. The prisoner denied having solicited Morris ' rob his employer, and said the charge was got T., against him from motives of spite, because be r ported Norris a fortnight ago for throwing -102 P of fat at him. Norris said he was not influenced by anYt hivg but good feeling towards the prisoner. the The prisoner then cross-examined Norris, and s ae facts came out stronger against him. Ho bad In in a proposition to the youth on a former occasion 1° a publichouso not to book a joint of meat, and divide the money paid for it between them. Mr. Benson committed the prisoner for trial. THE CASE OF LORD JERSEY. This aciP ti f i ll , 4 case came on before ,Mr. neateqp, the Vice-Cbl in nr i : Chief Clerk, on an application as to documents• t he urged by the representatives of the noble lord that "be documents in question be deposited in court, vibie, ll , t a - r lc counsel for the defendants opposed.
