After the stormy scenes of the last week it is satisfactory to find the proceedings of the House of Commons tolerably tranquil again, and although a large division took place there was not so much dis turbance as on former occasions. By this time we must all be perfectly well acquainted with the argu ments for and against the Irish Church, and the House was evidently weary of the subject, so that the debate was tamer than on previous occasions. Mr. llAnDy's speech was a success in its way, and the right hon. gentleman delivered his remarks with a sincerity and earnestness that were of themselves impressive, and well calculated to command admi ration even from those who did not agree with the arguments employed. Mr. GLADSTONE certainly spoke with more moderation than on former occa sions, and confined his remarks more to the points immediately before him than he is wont to do. Mr. LIDDELL's strictures on the policy of the Opposition regarding the Suspensory Bill contained a great deal of common sense, and their significance must have struck the house. He showed very plainly that Mr. GLADSTONE had not at all succeeded in proving the necessity of intro ducing this measure, and still less had he made clear the assertion that no time had been wasted, as no " practical result" would follow upon this bill, and Mr. GLADSTONE did not show what was to be done with the money. Mr. DISRAELI'S speech was a good one, and he addressed himself to the chief point of interest in the matter. He showed on the part of the Government that they must oppose Mr. GLADSTONE'S avowed object of appropriating the funds to secular purposes, for that was in their opinion quite as objectionable as bestowing them upon other religious bodies. The right hon. gen tleman also said that it bad never been intended to endow a Roman Catholic University, and Lord MAYO had never proposed such a thing. At the con clusion of his speech Mr DisttAELl, amid loud cheers, dwelt upon the general results that Mr. GLAD STONE'S policy would occasion if successful, and the powerful classes of the country who do not generally interfere with politics, and only do so when prompted by motives of public duty, disap proved, he declared, of the extreme views advo cated by the Opposition. If such opinions were right, or even partially so, it would he unwise to treat them with neglect. "It is not by managed ' majorities that you can change the opinion of a cc/wary. I (1 ,- ) not say that we are right, 1 do not s a y that you are wrong; the observation I have mat h, i s a general and a true one, whatever is the opinion of Engl.ind upon this general question, whether they will maintain the connection between Church and State, and believe that such a connec tion is necessary for the welfare of the people and the security of the realm, rest assured that that opinion will be triumphant." Mr. GLADSTONE'S reply was not at all equal to th© occasion, and he spent the chief part of his time in• making charges of ihcon7 THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 23, 1868. cy against the members of the Govern ment , instead of keeping to the point of import an ce„ and defending himself from the many attacks ru: ide; upon him for precipitancy on the other. Mr. Li DDELL'S advice about the House of Lords was no t - wanting, because he believed that thAt assembly would pass the bill ; but Mr. GY,..A;OSTONE, however, must suddenly become much prE sanguine than he generally is to arrive at such a conclusion. As for Mr. HARDY's spirited invc 'cation to the Opposition to move a vote of want of -confidence, that he declined to do, because it was of much more importance to settle these mea sure s first. In the face of all these assertions, we believe that Mr. GLADSTONE is in reality disap pointed—annoyed at some of his friends going too far in their recriminations against the Government, and vexel at the want of uuity in the work he has accomplished, with so much struggle and vexatious obstruction. A more unnecessarily wasted S.ssion is not on record, and there would be more reliance placed in Mr. GLADSTONE'S rambling assertions of yesterday were not the affair of the amendment of Mr. BOUVERIE fresh in our minds. The "managed" majority of that night accords ill with the remarks of the leader of the Opposition that it is better that they should remain as they are until the Irish Church question is settled. Against infatuation, such as it is, it is useless to argue, but those who follow him through thick and thin at all hazards must be surprised to be told hereafter that they have mono polised the time of the session in arriving at con clusions that the next Parliament may gainsay the justice of, and are not by any means bound to abide by them. It is no matter of surprise that the renewed at tack upon ex-Governor EYRE should have called forth the strongest expressions of indignation in many luarters ; and in the House of Commons, yesterday - , some observations were made on the subject. In the absence of Mr. DISRAELI, Cap tain ARCHDALL said he would repeat his ques tion another day. Major JERVIS also an nounced his intention of asking, on Monday, a reply from the right honourable gentleman at the head of the Government as to whether a man, " who undertook the defence of a colony rendered himself liable to be put in the felon's dock without receiving the slightest assistance from the Govern ment that should stand by him." Major KNox also addressed some remarks to the lion. member for Westminster on the subject, but these not being strictly in accordance with Parlia mentary rules, he was not able to answer them. Altogether it is evident that a general feeling of impatience is springing up at the continued persecution of Mr. EYRE, and those who now pride themselves upon their hostility may soon bitterly regret having entered upon so factious and oppressive a scheme as that which the Jamaica Committee upholds. It will, under these circum stances, be seen with satisfaction that the EYRE Defence Fund is likely to receive consider able additions. Sir RODERICK MURCHISON has forwarded a letter from Lord OVERSTONE on the subject, which is most satisfactory. The noble lord sends ten hundred pounds to the fund, of which Sir R. MURCHISON is president, and observes in so doing that he discharges thereby his share of a public duty, " which, be doubts not, will be widely recognised, and if recognised will be cheerfully fulfilled." His lordship has hitherto abstained from taking part or expressing opinion respecting the legal proceedings against Governor EYRE ; but he thinks, very justly, that a point has now been reached at which the latter is entitled to look for the sympathy and support of the public. The appeal which Mr. EYRE made the other day, in the stirring words he addressed to the magistrate, appear, adds he, "to have excited a spontaneous outburst of approval from the bystanders, even in a court of justice. I shall be mistaken if they do not elicit a warm response from every British heart." In the pre fatory remarks of Sir R. MuncuisoN he mentions the important fact that the heavy expenses attendant on the new trial of his distinguished friend at the Court of Queen's Bench will soon be likely to exhaust the funds already subscribed, and this, we trust, will be noticed by those who have the means to aid their wishes. We con fidently believe that by the titne this trial takes place the Eyre Defence Fund will have been so largely recruited that it will have more than sufficient to meet any demands that may be made upon it, and in so doing the contributors will, as Lord OVERSTONE says, exhibit those virtues of i nstice and generosity which it is to be trusted are not yet " obliterated from the national character." That Mr. EYRE should sustain pecuniary ruin as one of the consequences of the disgraceful persecution to which he is being subjected will never do, and it is only necessary to in.tke known that he stands the chance of such a casualty for a ready response to be made, and the Fund for his defence to be put in a position to cope with the "persevering assailants" of this brave man now subjected to such uncalled-for annoyance. The Chicago Republican Convention has been making itself very busy in providing the country with rulers and a policy. Chicago is a city of no slight importance, and is, in fact, the capital of the district in which it lies. It is a stronghold of com mercial and mercantile enterprise, and the rapidity of its growth and progress affords no unfavourable specimen of American energy. The nominations of the Chicago Convention are never therefore matters of indifference in political circles, though it may well be doubted, in the present state of parties, how far the decision of any Republican assembly can be relied upon as expressing popular convictions. The news of yesterday brought by the cable tells us that the Convention has nominated Mr. SCHUYLER COLFAX, the Speaker of the House of Representa tives, for the Vice -Presidency. The nomination of the day before was more important. The Conven tion on the 21st unanimously nominated General GRANT for the next Presidency, and as unani mously passed resolutions denouncing any repudia tion of the public debt, and approving the Im peachment of President JOHNSON. These resolu tions arc significant. They show that GRANT and JOHNSON are regarded as antagonistic by the Repub. lican party ; also that the General's hcstitation and vacillation have not prevented him from gaining his object. He has succeeded in keeping his hold on the affections of the Radical party. In fact to that desire he sacrificed his objections to Mr. JOHNSON, and he behaved with an inconsistency and want of straightforwardness which reflected anything but credit on his reputation. However he has gained his point, and 11 i ving to choose between the two parties, with both of which he had contrived to keep on terms, he went over to the Radical side, and is accordingly rewarded by his nomination for the Presidency. As for Speaker COLFAX he will be a thoroughly Radical Vice-President if lie ever gtts elected, which is more than doubtful. His career in the House of Representatives has not been such as to win him the confidence of men who look to the public interests rather than to party triumph or personal aggran disement. The resolution respecting the re pudiation of the national debt is as good as the nominations are bad, and we are glad to find an influential assembly recording their verdict against so unworthy and impolitic a resource. Americans are, we should hope, too shrewd and sharpsighted to be misled by the temporary relief to be gained by repudiation into a course so fatal to the national credit, so derogatory to the national honour, and so destructive to the national interests. When once the excitement of political contention has subsided, and the Radic.►ls have lost their mis chievous ascendancy in the Legislature, we may hope to see internal tranquillity restore:, the South revive, and the trade and industry of the United States once more flourishing. When these desirable results are attained.the national debt will be but a comparatively slight burden and can be dealt with vigorously, but as matters now stand no amount of repudiation nor of taxation will set the Exchequer right. The importance of a rapid and efficient system of telegraphic communication is now everywhere recognised. All European nations, as well many 'Asiatic and American States, are sensible of its value, but to no country is it of so vital a matter as to England. Her possessions and dependencies are so widely scattered, her commerce so im mense and so extended in its area, and her traffic in all parts of the habitable globe so constant and so increasing, that uncertain and de fective means of communication become to English men the source of serious loss. More especially is this the case with regard to our telegraphic com munication with the East, which, we are sorry to say, is at present extremely defective. There are two lines from England to India the line through Germany and the lino through Constantinople—but neither of them works well. Moreover, the manner in which the messages are transmitted, is often so very faulty and negligent that they are quite as likely to be sent in direct contradiction to the intentions of the sender as in compliance with then. In commercial transactions the consequence of such inaccuracy is often extremely damaging, and firms who have branches in India or agencies in China and Japan have good reason to doubt in . transmitting orders to their coadjutors what will be the effect on their credit . Delay alone is often sufficiently injurious to mer chants and manufacturers, and also the grievances which our trading community have to complain are very practical and substantial in their nature. Under these circumstances, seeing the wonderful progress which telegraphic science has made during the last few years, it is not surprising that men of enterprise should have sat to work to discover some means of relief. It has been sug gested that a new line should be laid down from England to Gibraltar, thence to Malta, Alexandria, the Red Sea, and Bombay. It will be observed that this line would be almost entirely independent of Foreign Powers. With the exception of the short distance from Alexandria to Suez, which lies through Egypt, a country where there is very little risk of any inter ference, the whole line would be perfectly free of any interference, whereas now the existing means of communication are at the mercy of poli tical complications.lt is true, as Sir STAFFORD NORTUCOTE remarked when speaking yesterday on the subject, one line might be involved in political disputes which would leave the other free. Still, it is a position hardly worthy of England with all her wealth, her enterprise, and her engineering skill to be dependent on the favour of foreign na tions in so important a matter as her communica tions with the East. While the trading community of all the chief centres of industry in Great Britain therefore are very desirous of seeing this new line constructed, they naturally feel that they have a right to look for some assistance from the Go vernment which wants to profit so largely by their labours. A deputation, representing the large com mercial interests of London, Liverpool, Manchester, and the other great commercial centres of the king dom, waited yesterday upen Sir STAFFORD NORTH COTE to present to him a memorial signed by the C bombers of Commerce of Glasgow, Hull, Bristol, and Liverpool, and copies of memorials presented by the commercial bodies of Bombay and Calcutta to the Governor-General, all complaining of the un satisfactory state of the telegraphic system between England and the East. Mr. CRAWFORD, M.P., who was the principal spokesman, mentioned two instances which had come to his own know ledge, in which serious loss had been occa sioned by the careless manner in which mes sages were forwarded. A bank having an agency in China received a telegraphic message from its branch asking permission to buy large bills on this country ; whereas, as afterwards appeared, the permission asked was to draw largely on this country. Another case was that of an order sent to Bombay to buy cotton at sid, but the message delivered in India was to buy cotton at 5d., so as the market price was between the two the cotton was not bought. It is really too bad that our merchants and traders should be liable to the heavy losses which such mistakes entail from sheer carelessness and mismanagement, apart from the ordinary and ine vitable fluctuations of trade. There is really no reason for it. If our telegraphists have been able successfully to cross the Atlantic, surely there can be no reason why the direct route proposed to India should not be carried out. We should like to see telegraphic enterprise carried still further, and a line running from Alexandria down the African coast to the Cape of Good Hope—the great centre of civilisation in that part of the world. We have no stations all down the coast, so that the matter would be virtually in our own hands, and would do much to forward the cause of African progress and civilisation. With regard to the Indian line, a careful survey of the route gives us the satisfactory i nformation that there are no formidable na t ur al obstacles. The depth of the Arabian Sea is in no ca se g reater than that of the North Atlantic where it is tra versed by the cables, the temperature o f t h e water at the bottom being cooler by seve ral degrees than that of the Atlantic, and the bottom is uniform, consisting of soft mud or ooze. Competent j u dges pronounce th a t the risk of successfully submerging a cable would be 50 per cent. less in the Indian Ocean than in the At lantic. There is therefore no great risk in under taking an enterprise which is certain when com pleted to be self-supporting; and we are sorry to find official economy, as usual, being practised in the wrong place, and the Government shrinking from assisting in the work. We hope, however, that both the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Sec retary for India will think better of the matter, since the value of a direct and independent line of communication between England and the East would to this country be simply incalculable. MUSICAL ITEMS.— A new school of music has been opened at Basle, the direction of which has been given to M. Seltnar Bagge, lately the chief editor of the Leipsic Gazette Musicale. A posthumous opera by Gustave Fay, entitled " fiesko," has been given at Pesth ; its want of success would apparently render the amended designation of "Fiasco" more appropriate. At St. Paul's, New York, Mozart's " Twelfth Mass" was performed on Easter Sunday by a volunteer choir assisted by a powerful band. For a finale, the orchestra performed the first movement of the grand symphony in 0 (" Jupiter").—Alwica/ Standard. LATEST INTELLLGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) AUSTRIA. VIENNA, May 22, Evening.

As soon as the English Government shall hare received satisfactory replies to the confidential com munications on the subject which it has addressed to the various Powers the formal opening of nego tiations will take place.

(FROM OUR OWN connEsromm) PARIS, FRIDAY, 1Y137 ia Actual news is scarce to-day, but there is a revival of unpleasant rumours. Attention has again been called to the Prussian armaments, and that in a journal whose position gives weight to its representations the Moniteur de rArinee. That journal emphatically declares that the concentration of three Prussian corps &armee on the north-eastern frontier of France is a menace to the French nation. Perhaps this article was written in order to aid the Cabinet in overcoming the resistance of the Budget Commission. This body is still holding out for reductions which the Council of State will not grant. Even the small concession which was announced a few days back is now denied. Simultaneously with this article of the Illonitenr de l'Armic, we have accounts pub lished in a Russian journal of the great military prepara tions which are being made in Austria. Altogether the sky is consi,lerahly overcast to day. It is DOW statNl that Trince Napileon's visit to Vienna and Constantinople has been deferred. There is reason to believe that the projected journey caused great dissatis• faction at St. Petersburg, if not at Berlin. It may be prudent, therefore, to postpone it. It would have been more wise and more dignified to have said nothing about it. His Tm . er'al Highness is not very suce:ss:ful in his amateur diplomacy. How signally he failed at Berlin all th • w,.1‘1 known. I now learn that he has not done ai y better at Florence. During his stay in Italy he had several private and non-official inter• views with General Menabrea, in order to discuss a new September Convention. The General was very cautious and reserved, and said that he did not see any reason for departing from the stipulations of the Convention of 1864. 'The Italian Minister added that this Convention having been neither denounced nor suspended, and consequently still existing legally, there was nothing to justify the OcCU• Nation of Pontifical territory by the ITrench expeditionary force. He reminded the Prince that at the end of last October the French Government promised to withdraw its troops as soon as tranquillity was restored. It had been restored for several months, yet the French troops were still on Italian soil. The truth is, Napoleon means to maintain his force there by way of counteracting th. Prusso-Italian alliance which everyone believes to be in existence. At the same time, the very presence of that force only renders the alliance stronger. Both parties, I believe, France and Italy, contemplate a European war as a by no means improbable contingency, and each is doing its best to check the other. Your Ministerial crisis continuesto excite the greatest in• terest here, as well it may. The Paris journals cannit under. stand how it is that your House of Commons consents to let a Minister who is beaten every right remain in power. They supposed that:with you parl'am ntary, not personal, government was.the ride. Nor is it only the Liberal and democratic journals which thus express astonishment. Send-official organs like the Constitutionnel come down upon Mr. Disraeli and say, " One thing appears clear to us for the moment : it is, that if Mr. Disraeli sticks to office it is certainly not because it offers him a sweet or A.greeal)le path." 11,888,500 - 6,967,300 - 34,937,800 25,007,000 917,600 -- 791,400 60,000,000 - 12,980,750 14 12,980,750 14 40,651,419 66 40,651,419 66 serve Do. disposable Routes Immobalise'es (Law, June 2, 1857) 100,000,000 Elotel and furniture of the llt.nk and landed propel ty branches Expenses of manage ment Sundries 8,370,776 - 8,370,297 - 1,130,647 38 1,616,465 88 21,230,740 29 17,446,372 64 Total Certified by the Senator-Governor of the Bank of France.

The last concert held under Mr. Martin's direc ti on was devoted to a special perfo rmance o f Han del's mar tial oratorio " Judas Maccabmus," which has seldom been given with better spirit or more generally admirable effect than by the bright-voiced choirs w hich the founder of the a b ove - ment i one d society has succeeded in raising to a p os iti on on ly second to that of the oldest choral society in London. Extraordinary pains we re b es t owe d upon the gran d choruses, " Hear us, 0 L or d , " an d t h e We never, never will b ow d own, " w i t h yet finer " which the second and third parts respectively concluded, and the universal favourite, " See the co nquering hero comes," was o f course the bonne bouche of the night, so far as the m ajority of the auditors were concerned. " Fallen is the foe," and the spirited response to " Sound an We hear, hear r —were also excellent Alarm"—" exa mples of improved discipline on the part of the choir. The soloists were Madame Florence Lancia, a competent and sweet-voiced exponent of the well-known treble songs; Miss Lucy Franklin, whose single air, "Father of Heaven," was sung with excellent feeling ; Mr. George Perren, who gave " Sound an Alarm" so effectively as to secure an encore for that always admired piece, and to win what is, perhaps, more rarely obtained, the unqualified respect of critical hearers ; and Herr Wallenreicher, the recently-arrived German singer, who is a de,:ided acquisition to our list of artists gifted with bass or baritone voices. The audience was a very large one, and its all but unbroken inte rest in the performance was sustained up to the last number of the long oratorio. IRELAND. DUBLIN, May 22. The Liberal electors of Dublin are not disposed to accept Sir Arthur Guinness as heir and successor of the late senior member for the city. While entertaining the highest personal respect for him on account of the name he bears, they are naturally unwilling at such a serious political crisis to intrust the representation to a young and inexperienced man whose views are likely to be antagonistic to their own. Several possible candidates have been named, and at any other time there would be little difficulty in inducing an opponent to come forward; but many who would aspire to the honour of enter ing the new Parliament are unwilling to encounter the heavy outlay iwhich a contested election in volves, with the certainty of having to go through the same ordeal again in a few months. This con sideration makes the most formidable of them shrink from the struggle at present. it is not yet posi tively known whether Sir Arthur Guinness, who has been communicated with in London, will con sent to offer himself to the electors. if he declines the doubtful compliment, the Conservatives will ex perience as great difficulty as the Liberals in finding a candidate. Opposition is threatened, but as yet no one has entered the lists. The remains of Sir Benjamin Guiuess are ex pected from London this morning for interment either in Mount Jerome Cemetery or St. Patrick's Cathedral—most probably the former. The vessels in the river have had their flags at half-mast, and the shops in the vicinity of St. James's-gate have bee❑ partially closed in token of respect for the memory of a kind and liberal employer. Colonel Burroughs, 93rd Highlanders, was visiting the Jmnua Musjid, Lucknow, a few days ago, when he was mobbed and beaten by the darogali (the man in charge of the place) and other natives. The proposed revision of the ex:33. t',01 4 .1 Lz cotton goods has been postponed. The Bombay Chamber of Commerce have adopted a scale of rates with reference to ships' commissions; and " inward freights," payable at the current rates of ex change, are to be paid for at the rate of two shillings in 100,000,000 I the rupee. Colonel Trevor, R.E., has been appointeil Consulting Fngineer to the Bombay Government, in succession to Colonel DeLisle, who retires from the service. The liquidators of the Indian Peninsula, London. and China Bank, expect to realise from £25,000 to £30,000 be• fore finally winding up the affairs of the company. The Maharajah of Kashmir has connected himself with he turf, by giving a valuable gold cup to be run fur at Scalkote Races. The Acting Political Agent at Aden, Captain Abbott, has, pursuant to instructions from the Secretary of State, sent off recently three trusty messengers (Somalis) into the Somali country, in the hope that something may be heard of the survivors of the St. Mb's crew. The great annual fair at Berbera, where all the newsmongers of Eastern Africa congregate, will shortly break up, and it is hoped some information, from its returning visitors, will be ob tained for the guidance of M. Angelo, if that gentleman d prosecute his proposed search. Oa the 22nd April the Ethel, bound for Liverpool, was ruchorA near llooghly Point, when the Agamemnon, bound for Dundee, ran into her, and both ships sank. Several lives were lost. The cargoes were valued .tt £IOO,OOC each. The Angattrg Gazette gives some interesting 1 art:cdari of a conversation between one of its writers and Pal Jll von Beust. Referring to the foreign policy of Ausi la, tha Minister said :"It is not animated by any thoug hostile to Prussia, nor by any tendency contrary to it: ,merman policy, inasmuch as it is loyally decided at Berlin not to ex . - the limits of the Treaty of Prague." In other words, I' ussia having discouraged the Unity Address, Austria has no ground of complaint against her. The Paris correspondent of the Daily News still believes that war is at hand. He says, in reference to the article in the Journal des Debats, already referred to : " The King of Prussia intends to make himself Emperor of Germany, and his servants hint his intentions as clearly as the ser• vants of Louis Napoleon did in 1852 that he meant to be Emperor of France. There is every reason to suppose that after much of diplomatic fencing, with u view to shift responsibility, France means to fight with Prussia for supremacy. The issue at stake is too vast for any representation of Lord Loftus to postpone the trial very long." The Paris Moniteur de rAr»zee attempts to explain away General Failly'e speech to the troops at Chalons, and so quiet the alarm to which it has given rise. But in another article the same journal re-excites the public apprehension. The article says: " Three (Prussian) corps d'armee are massed within a few leagues of the French frontier. These corps are the most numerous, the best organised, and the best prepared to take the field. There arc certain point: of our frontiers which are more especially menaced. The Prussian railways seem to have been constructed for the special purpose of conveying armies to the valleys of the Sarre and Moselle. The three principal lines of the German network of railways converge towards the summit of a triangle formed by the Prussian armies—a triangle the point of which seems destined to enter the heart of France as an iron point pierces a hole in an oak." The Libcrtg declares that the Duke of Saxe-Coburg. Gotha has personally given a formal denial to the rumour that he intended to abdicate. i Henry LXVII., Prince of Renss•Schleiz, one of the Amallest of the German principalities, has just set an example, worthy of being followed by his big royal Brothers. He has submitted to bis Parliament a bill for abolishing all the press restrictions which now exist. The Pope has appointed Count Caserta, brother of the ex-Xing Francis 11., a general in the Papal army. It is believed that the life of Manzi the bri3 . and will be srared, in spite of the tlire murders and other but atrocious offences which lave been proved againet linmanity is great in Southern Italy, because the moral standard is low.

The almost incredible statement is made that there are now 44,000 persons employed in the galleys ac origands, and that 60,000 soldiers have been employed against them. Manzi, in speaking of the rapidity with which his gains were dissipated, says this was no marvel, ;.or he was asked 20f. for a piece of bread no larger than -asm's hand.

Pope, Great Western Riilway constable, No. 691, was charged before Mr. Knox as follows : Police constable Henry May, 297 A, said that about ten o'clock last night he was on duty in Hyde-park, opposite the Knightsbridge barracks when he saw the prisoner sitting on a seat with an other man, and behaving in a disgraceful manner. lie asked the plisner what he Was doing, when he jumpA up and kicked him and then ran away. After a sharp chase he caught the prisoner, who said " You can't make nothing of it; you ought to have had the other, as he had more money, but at any rate I have given you a run for it." The prisoner was very violent at first, but on his telling him that if be resisted he would knock him down, he went quietly to the station. The prisoner denied the constable's statement, and said that he had been drinking. The constable said the prisoner was quite sober. Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for trial. INDIA.

It is said that on account of the tyranny of Mahomed Azim Khan, the de facto ruler at Cabul, there has been a rising of the people there, and that Abdoola Khan, grandson of the late Dost Mahomed Khan, has fled to reshawur. WESTMINSTER. GROUNDLESS CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER.— James Smith, a labourer, was charged with killing and slaying William Taylor. George Jones, 1 B, said that he went last night to prisoner's abode in Calthorpe-place, Chelsea, and told him he apprehended him for violently as saulting 'William Turner, then lying dangerously ill in St. George's Rospital, and since dead. Pri soner said he should not have done it had not Tur - ner taken up a brick to him and kicked him on the legs. Richard Cotten'', surgery man at the hospital, proved that Turner was brought in last Sunday night. He had some marks on the head as if kicked about. lie died last night. Richard Stevens, 43, Regent-street, Westminster, said that prisoner and the dead man had both been in Messrs. Corbett's employ. On Thursday, he 14th of January, was discharged in the middle of the day. Shortly after this he came up to prisoner with a brick which he had just picked up. He was going to throw it at the prisoner when it was taken out of his hand. He rau at prisoner, and in a struggle they both fell. Taylor kicked him, and they struck each other. Taylor had been drinking. The foreman had dis charged Taylor, not the prisoner, who overlooked ome of the men. Prisoner was liberated on his own recoguisances to appear in a week. THANES. A MISCHIEVOUS YOUNG PUSEYITE. —Thomas Gould, aged 12 years, choir boy at the High Ritualistic Church of St. Peter's, Old Grave-lane, presided over by the Rev. Mr. Lowder, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with unlawfully throwing stones in a public thoroughfare. Martin Ryan, a police-constable No. 281 K, said that he saw the prisoner throw two stones over the London Dock wall in Tent-street on his way to church on the preceding night. An officer of the London Dock Company said that a great many panes of glass had been broken in the skylights of the warehouse i❑ the dock by the dangerous and mischievous practice of boys hurling stones over the dock walls. Fifty were broken in two days last week, and 15 more on Saturday. He bad been deputed by Mr. Randall, the superintendent of the dock, to call the magis trate's earnest attention to a most expensive and serious evil. Mrs. Gould, the mother of the boy, said the dock wall was too high for her son to throw a stone over it. Her boy was on his way to church when he was taken into custody. Mr. Paget—Going to church. It was not Sun day evening. Mrs. Gould—lle goes to church every evening to sing. A Voice at the back of the Court—" And to break windows on the way to the Puseyite Church." A Clergyman, of St. Peter's Church, near the London Dock, said the prisoner was. one of the boys in his choir, and an excellent boy. Mr. Paget asked the height of the Dock wall, and Inspector Gee, of the K division, said that it was not more than 25 feet. Numerous complaints had been made of boys throwing stones over the Lon don Dock wall. An immense amount of injury had been done. Mr. Paget deprecated the mischievousness of boys who were continually throwing stones. Ile was satisfied the prisoner had thrown stones over the wall, and the Dock Company had a right to complain of the great damage done to their pro perty. The destruction of glass had been lament able. He fined the prisoner 10s., and, in default, seven days' imprisonment. THE THIEF AND RECEIVER.—Henry Llwrence, the elder, and Henry Lawrence, the younger, were brought before Mr. Paget charged with stealing a silver watch, and a money box containing silver monies, from the dwelling house of Mr. Frederick Norris in Wapping. The younger prisoner was errand boy to the pro secutor. On Sunday last Mr. Norris missed a watch, which was hanging on to a nail in his bed room. He missed a child's money-box containing Gs. at the same time. Hs gave immediate informa tion to the police, and an account of the robbery and description of the watch was left with every pawnbroker. On the preceding day the elder pri soner offered the stolen watch in pawn at the shop of Mr. Levy in Sbadwell, and it was stopped. The prisoner was detained, and he said "The watch is one which my son picked up in Wapping. The boy was then taken into custody by Cornelius Sutton, a police-constable, No. 231, to whom he said that the money box only con tained 4s. Bd., and that he broke it open, took the money out, and threw the box away down an old sewer in Wapping. He also said that he took bis master's watch at the same time as the money box. The younger prisoner made no defence. the elder one said, " I did not take the watch with a knowledge it was stolen. I did not come by i t wrongfully. My son told me he picked it up. That is all I have to say." Mr. Paget committed both prisoners for trial. CRYSTAL PALACE.—The great flower show of Ora l season opened to-day at half-past twelve.
