Red Bull Wharf, Angel-passage, 93, Upper Thames- London. B.C. LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1868. The House of Lords is determined to bear out its character for hard work which it has gained this year, and yesterday it far surpassed the Commons, which only met to be counted out. The return of the army from Abyssinia was the first topic under consideration, and Lord ELLENBOROUGII drew the attention of the Government to it. He declared that they ought to be received with full military honours, as he saw no precedent for their achieve ments in modern history. There has been no mountain campaign comparable with that in Abys sinia since the passage of the Alps by HANNIBAL. We all know that the noble earl can make any cause appear to advantage, and the deeds of our army in Abyssinia may well inspire eloquence, but still he went rather far when he affirmed that the first of all professions is that of a soldier, and the first of all rewards is military honour. Lord MALMESBURY emphatically observed that there was no man in that house who could doubt that the noble earl was a fit judge of military honour, and many circumstances had conduced to impart to him that knowledge. He had himself been mixed up in the highest honours, besides observing their effects on the soldiers' mind. llowever, the noble earl considered that the propo sal which had been made was not a feasible one. her MAJESTY'S Government have not, as yet, con sidered the matter over, and therefore an indefinite answer was given ; but the Duke of CAMBRIDGE made some observation?, declaring that he was most anxious to render the greatest honour to the gallant troops referred to, but that it would be impossible to carry out the scheme for various reasons. The troops will arrive at different periods. Lord LYN - EDEN suggested one difficulty, inasmuch as part of the troops returne I to Inlia, but the only dis sonant element introduced was in the speech of Earl (3 ELY, echo was most unnecessarily captious about the whole affair, and particularly objected to anything of the kind being stated in debate. There could be no possible harm in Lord ELLENBORO UGH making the suggestion, and it did not involve the Govern ment in any way. I I many respects it would be, no doubt, desirable to go out of the way, in order to show that we fully appreciate the services ren dered by our gallant forces, and the public will ORYLTFAL PALACE.—rOUR rAREWELL J PERFORMANCES of the IMPERI ‘l, JAPANESE TROUPE—MONDAY, TUESDAY, THURSDA 3ad FRIDAY Afternoons, Next Week, at Three u'Clock.

NV. Willcoks, Esq., Treasurer, seconded by E. J. Thompson, Esq., and resolved unanimously, " That this Committee expresses its admiration of the kindly and liberal spirit in which the deputations from its members have been received by her Majesty's Government, represented in the former case by the Right Hon. Ben jamin Disraeli, now the First Lord of the Treasury, and afterwards by the Right Hon. Ward Hunt, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the satisfactory way in which the re presentations of the deputation were received, and so libe rally responded to on the part of the Government on the Bth inst., which liberality they feel assured is not only ap preciated by the Committee and those locally familiar with the facts of the case, but they believe will be as highly appreciated by all classes of her Majesty's loya' subjects."

The Marquis of SALISBURY put a questims, pur suant to notice, respecting the new Law Courts. The purport of these observations was to set forth the claims of Mr. BARRY before those of Mr. STREET, while Mr. BARRY'S was considered the best one for the plan of the interior. The LORD CHANCELLOR, as President over the Committee for the building of the new Law Courts, answered the noble Marquis, and said that he was very glad that the subject had been brought forward, because a good deal of mis apprehension existed out of doors in respect to it. The fact was that the G.werument hal not either rejected or accepted any design, and the Commis sioners settled that there should not be unlimited competition among the architects, but that six or eight should be chosen for the purpose of competi tion, and at last the number was raised to eleven. The Ju lges of Design were appointed by the Trea sury, and were five in number. By the terms of the arrangement, the plans submitted became the property of the Commission, whether accepted or not, and each c mnpetitor received a certain sum as some compensation for the time and pains bestowed upon their labours. In consequence of this it will be seen that the judges were not bound to give any one competitor the credit of having his particular design :selected. The object was rather to test the relative merits of the different plans, without pledging the Government to select a particular design and erect the Courts wording to that de sign. It was conceived that it might very well be that various useful hints might be taken from the different designs, and the judges were to decide which of their authors showed the greatest skill and capacity for the superintendence of the erection of the new LAW Courts. The julges were not, however, able to say which of the competing architects was the tn3st successful, and then sent in their award to the Treasury, with the intimation that putting their designs together that of Mr. STREET was best for the " external elevation," and that of Mr. BARRY for the internal arrangements. Further communications only resulted iu the judges adher ing to their previous opinion on the matter. At last it was settled by the Attorney-General that the award was The Government had then to decide, and they appear to have done so in a wise manner after much deliberation. It must be borne in mind at the same time that another judgment respecting the National Gallery hal declared that Mr. BARRY'S plan was of the greatest architectural merit. It was then settled that Mr. BARRY should have the superin tendence of the erection of the National Gallery, and Mr. STREET that of the LAW Courts. On the whole, it may be s tid that the matter has been arranged as well as possible ; and one thing is certain, that every one could not be satisfied. It was not likely that Mr. BARRY would be contented with the erection of two public buildings, and, in some respects, the Government had increased advantages in getting out of the dilemma into which the decision of the judges had placed them. It may be added, that there is al ways more awkwardness created when the case is reduced to two competitors than when there are more. Some conversation ensued, after the Lord Chancellor's explanation, which amounted to little. In the course of the evening the Duxe of ARGYLL took a very long time in dwelling on a recommendation which was before the House, in respect to the rights of the Crown on the subject of the foreshores and the bed of the sea. The chief point was that this memorandum had been presented to Parliament without a signature. The Dake of RICHMOND, however, explained that took the responsibility of it upon himself, and as for it being on the table of the House that arose from the suggestion of a private member of Parliament, the document being drawn up for the guidance of those in the office of the Board of Trade. It cannot be said that there was much in this, but the noble duke contrived to make a great deal of the matter nevertheless. It would seem as if the members of the Government in the House of LDrds were now to take their turn, and to be called to account for all that offends the taste and militates against the prejudices of their opponents. Among all the excitements of the present Session tho political achievements of 1866-67 have been almost forgotten, and accordingly we find the chief speakers at the Lewes Conservative Association very busy in going over the records of that eventful period. There are many reasons for anxiety and perplexity now, but last year the horizon was a good deal darker. Mr. BROWNRIGG, who seconded a resolution at Thursday's meeting in favour of the present Government, went over the story of the last two years. Little, he said, was done during the Session of 1866, except grumbling. There were not wanting signs of the coming storm. -During the recess —the autumn and winter of the year—the country spoke out more plainly. Monster meetings were held, processions organised, revolu tionary speeches made, and fierce_ invectives hurled against Ministers. At that time, as Mr. BROWNRIGG reminded his hearers, the effects of the severe commercial panic were still sensibly felt, the corn market was rising, the cattle plague on the increase, the Fenian conspiracy become more troublesome, and our relations with America such as gave rise to some uneasiness. Under all these disadvantages, and in face of all these obstacles, the Ministry of Lord DERBY set themselves to deal with the most perplexing political problem of the day ; aud, what is more, they did deal with it suc cessfully. It was won in the teeth of a most fac tious opposition according to Mr. BROWNRIGG ; but at any rate no one can deny that the difficulties in the way were very considerable, and many theorists had tried their hands at reforming Parlia ment, and there were countless critics ready to censure and denounce any plan but their own. There wero the vested interests of boroughs that feared disfranchisement, and members who dreaded losing their seats. There were the loud profes sors of Reform principles, who objected to the loss of their hustings and public meeeing " plat form." There were the agitators, who, from inte rest or love of excitement, ha I been busy stirring up the people, and who dislike l to find their occu pation gone. The pretended friends of Reform were altogether a formidable faction, and if we add to them the large party who, though really desirous of achieving the end, were averse t...) its bJing sJt tled by a Conservative Administration, we shalllind that they constitute a powerful host. On the other hind, the Reformers de fact ) had to COT tend against a large section of their own followers, who objected to any considerable change in the constituencies to a large reduction of the franchise, or to any other of those steps which it was impera tively necessary for any one who meant to settle the question of Representative Reform, even tem porarily, to take. There are not wanting Dow, as Mr. BROWNRIGG observed, those who object to many portions of the Reform Bill, and question its ' wisdom, but it is fair to ask them what would have been the state of the public mind if the settlement of the question had been again postponed, and the people had felt themselves unfairly dealt with. No change of the kind can be really judged until it is put to the practical test of experience, and we are likely before long to see the Reform Bill of 1867 submitted to this ordeal. It is an encou raging proof of the increasing interest which our working men are taking in the politics of the day to find them, as we are now doing, present in good numbers at most of these provincial gatherings By joining with the classes above them in these general assemblies they will lose that violent and arbitrary tone which they are apt to catch from their more Democratic leaders, and will gain in poli tical weight while they gain in experience. The Ralic als in Washington being disappointed in their efforts to obtain the command of the White House, and to retain their waning influence through out the State Legislatures, have turned their atten tion to a new quarter. The Board of Aldermen at Washington has become the scene of their struggles for ascendancy, and it is amusing to find the excite ment hitherto shown about the Presidential con test or the reconstruction of the Southern States now prevailing on a purely municipal question. Several members of the board of aldermen at Washington have denied the legality of each other's elections. As might be expected the Radical re gistrar refused to recognise the claims of the Demo cratic disputants, while he declared the Radical candidates to be duly elected. It is this system which the Radicals carry into everything. No position which carries with it any degree of influence or authority is beneath their notice, none too high for their ambition ; and, we may add, no means arc too desperate for them to attain their objects. By continuing generally to secure minor official places, such as that of registrars and clerks to public offices, the Radicals aro able to take advantage of any technical obstacles which can be put in the way against their opponents. It will be remembered that great difficulties have been put in the way of the Democratic mem bers in Congress by the officials, and very often their plans have been completely frustrated by the collusion between the Radical members and the temporary authority. Out of doors, however, it is not so easy to carry everything their own way. Great excitement, we are told, existed in the capi tal respecting this affair of the Aldermen, and it was feared that a riot would take place. On the 10th the Radical Alderman took forcible possession of the Councilmen's Chamber, so that we shall soon see the anarchy which has l')ng existed in political circles prevailing over the social_ affairs of the city. The division between Radical and Democrat is so wile at the present moment that it overrides every other considera tion, and the near approach of the Presidential content intensifies every party feeling. One of the Republi can S ena t ors w ho had courage to vote against his party has not suffered for his in dependence, b u t hi s was one o f the few seats con fidently regarded as secure. Senator SPII AG UE, son in-law of Mr. Justice CHASE, has been re-elected for Rhode Island ; and we hope that the rest of the Senators, whose independent integrity turned the scale, will be equally fortunate.

We can but sit about on the shady side of the Champs Elysdes, eating ices, at least those of us who have not yet been so fortunate as to get away. We have, however, had one incident that caused some excitement, even in spite of the roasting weather. At the Champs Elysees doncert, one'rening this week, the Princess Metternich, wife of the Austrian Ambassador, and the Marquise de Pourtales, who are the ringleaders of the courtes-robes heretics, made their appearance in costumes so extrava gantly outrageous that the laughter which these grandes dames excited fairly drove them away. The Princess had upon her head a black Japanese hat, with a profusion of flowers in it, and with jet fastenings, and an enor mous lace cravat, and a mountain of a chignon. While there was so much superfluous clothing at one extremity, there was a deficiency at the other. The dresses of both ladies were ludicrously short, and revealed boots that would have outrivalled a Magyar's. The Princess's dress was of muslin, with innumerable flounces, looped up with lilac festoons. The Marchioness's was a blue skirt, with a brilliant yellow tunic, yellower than a field of buttercups. You may fancy the commotion this apparition caused among people with whom dress is one of the most serious concerns of life. New journals are springing up like mushrooms on all sides, and some of them will certainly have an existence of only mushroom duration. A most amusing revelation has just been made of the shifts to which some new journals resort in order to get up a circulation. Some months ago a paper called La Rue was started ; but " the Street " would not go off in the streets at all, until one day it contained an account of a duel which was reported to have occurred between one of its contributors,' Stamir, a Pole, and an ex-Zouave in the Papal army. As the reported duel arose out of the Garibaldian invasion it attracted some attention, and for a short time La Rue was in derhand. Recently, Stamit has had a quarrel with the editor Valles, and he has now made known to the world that the whole story was a fiction. It appears that when M. Valles found his paper would not go off he said to Stamir : "My dear friend, you are always a friend of Valles when he wants you to serve him. Canards do not succeed. I have, however, found out a way to force it into Pale." " What is your combination?" said Stan.ir. " Why, you must fight a duel." " With whom am Ito have the honour of crossing swords ?" " With nobody." " How ! a duel and no ad versary !" Stamir replied, looked fixedly at his chief editor. " You must fight, though you have no adversary." " I thought Valles was mad (adds Stamir), but I was mis taken, for I found he was never more in his senses. Sure of my silence, he chose me for his accomplice, and out of my devotedness to him I fell into the snare. To aid this Poor confrere was for me a duty ; to hesitate for a moment would be to drive to despair the wretched man. I allowed myself to be convinced. The article appeared ; Valles took a part in the composition ; notes written by Valles were sent round to the other papers, and at last La Rue had a sale I Ire was right ; the mystification produced its effect. The day that the pretended duel came off Valles was waiting for me in the office. I I a..-e just fought my duel,' I cried out on-entering, as had been previously arranged between us. ' Indeed r he replied; 'let me have paper. Send the news to the other journals. Give me the name of 3-cur a , lversary, and then of his seconds and yours.' I dictated to him the same names which he him self had invented the clay before. The same evening two papers, the Figaro and the Liberte, spoke of the famous duel, and the day following the other journals commented upon it, giving particulars of the combat, according to the instructions of Valles. Viscount de Cecconia had, they said, been very seriously wounded by me in the duel. The noise made by my victory was great, but not sufficiently so for Vailes, as a few days afterwards lie had the stupidity o fabricate a letter which he caused to be brought to me one evening by a commissionaire, and in which the death of my adversary wasannounced." Sad to say, though the device succeeded for a time, it was only for a very short anis, and La Rue has long since been extinct. here are fresh rumours of Ministerial changes to-day. It is said that M. Ilouher, grateful for the assistance which he has received from M. Emile 011ivier, in the discussion with the redoubtable Protectionist, M. Pouyer-Quertier, wishes to introduce the former into the Cabinet, and that General Fleury also u ill join it. I do not suppose that there is much truth in these reports. But it is cer tain that the Emperor is very angry at the attacks of M. Pouyer-Quertier, and that the Government will put forth all its efforts to prevent his re-election at Rouen, though probably in vain. M. Busson-Billaut's report on the Budget contains some important information, and one satisfactory item is that Marshal Niel explained to the Budget Commission that his warlike armaments were of a peaceful character. Berlin letters tell us that arrangementt have been made to fill the vacancy caused by Bismarck's temporary retire ment. Fie will be replaced at the Ministry of Foreign A ff a irs by Ilcrr Mile, hitherto secretary to that depart ,ilent At the presidency of the Council he will be succeeded by Baron Von der Heydt, Minister of Finance, and, when this Minister takes his holiday, by General Von Boon. Iferr Von Friessen, the Saxon Minister, will act as President of the Federal Council. All matters which, according to the Federal Constitution, involve minis terial responsibility, and to that extent the responsibility of the Federal Chancellor, Bismarck will reserve for his own signature. The arrangements for the marriage of the Crown Prince of Denmark are completed. The Princess Louise of Sweden will bring her husband a dowry of 25,000,000 rix dollars (RI,400,000). At present the Salic law prevails in Sweden, and therefore the Princess (the only child of King Charles) cannot succeed him. It is hoped, however, that the law may be set aside, and some such arrangement made, perhaps as when your Queen Mary 11. andher husband the Prince of Orange reigned jointly. The King of Sweden is just about to go to Jutland to witness the manoeuvres of the Danish fleet. There seems to be a strong desire to strengthen the Scandinavian union ; and it is in conse quence of this desire that the Crown Prince consents to a marriage which is not the one that his affections would have dictated. - The special correspondent of the Telegraph at Vienna professes to have received private information which he it at prese nt precluded from making public, confirmi ng t h e :',pinion that the murder of Prince Michael Obrenovich was an act instigated by political ambition, whetted on the grindstone of some vendetta. The faction, however, that speculated in the outbreak did not elicit that response on which they counted, and it is the opinion of the writer that tic speculators in the Kara,G eorgevich restoration are vir tually out of the field. As their chance diminishes so does that of young Milan Obrenovich gain ground. Already a large part of the army has declared in his favour, the ~own of Belgrade is ranged under his banner, and declara- Lions of adhesion to his cause are pouring in from the communes of the interior. Should he be elected, his nomi nation will be confirmed by the guaranteeing Powers ; and the Princess Julia Obrenovich, relict of the murdered Prince, will be named a member of the Regency by which Servia will be governed until he shall attain his majority. Whether the Principality enjoy peace or be convulsed with civil war during that regency would depend upon the constitution of the ruling authority. If Marino vich and Milivoi should, by the will of the nation, be asso jated with Julia de Hunyady during the minority of Afilan, things would probably go smoothly enough ; but if they should be kept out of the'regency Europe must look out :or squalls. The Telegraph correspondent adds, that the candidature of Prince Carol is now out of the question, as the confirmation cf the Skuptschina's election by the Great Powers will only be accorded to a nominee native of Servia. That the patriot Garaschianin should enter the lists against Milan for the Hospoddriat is deemed im probable. He will in all likelihood throw his influence into the scale on the lad's behalf. It will be remembered that about two months ago a mot:on was carried in the North German Parliament declaring that the officers who had the management of the debt of the Lund should be held personally responsible to the Parliament for its application. This irritated Count Bismarck to such a degree that he at once gave up the loan of twenty millions of thalers already voted for the navy, ordered great retrenchment in every branch of the naval ser vice, and postponed sine die the construction of addi tional ships, as also of coast defences. The clever Minister knew with whom he had to deal, and this measure of his ;3as now had the effect which he foresaw. If there is one thing on which the North Germans are agreed, it is ir. creating a German fleet, with the harbours and naval establishments necessary for its maintenance. There fore, as soon as the Parliament met again after its brief prorogation, an agreement was privately accepted by both parties, and it is now pretty well decided that the loan shall be raised, and that its application is to be under the responsibility of the Prussian Government. We learn, L.rther, that in consequence of recent experiments the Prussian Government has decided to build no iron ships, but to have wooden ships strongly defended. The Owl appears to have been misinformed when it stated that the Lord Chief Baron would, as vacation judge at chambers, have the nomination of the additional revis• ing barristers contemplated by the new registration measure, and that although the bill had not yet become law, there were some 230 applicants in the field. The Law Journ7/ declares that if 230 barristers have applied to the Lon' Chief Baron their labour is vain, inasuauci as Mr. J'lstice Hannon will officiate 444 19.411 YPAAtia _ judge. BRISTOL ELECTION C 0.111117 LEE. (This DAY.) 'rho select committee to try the merits of the petition presented against the return of Mr. Miles re-assembled to-day in Room No. 11. The principal witness examined was a person named Smancomb, and he detailed certain .proceed ings on the part of Mr. Allsopp, one of the active supporters of the sitting member, to prove the allegations in the petition of bribery and treating. In cross-examination by Mr. Giffard for the sitting member, he admitted that he had had a private conversation with Mr. Dowger, which, to his surprise, he had heard repeated in that room. lie could not account for such a thing without coming to the conclusion th9t there wa: treason in the camp. The committee shortly afterwards adjourned.

Pleasant, palatable, and invigorating. Sold by all Chemists.—[Adyt.) MR, BARRY AND MB. STREET. The Express hears that the decision respecting the new kw courts is not to pass unchallenged. Mr. E. M. Barry's protest will, it is rumoured, be followed by an appli cation to have the whole matter referred to a select committee of the house. A tabular abstract has been prepared of the points of excellence awarded to each com petitor by the professional judges of the designs (Messrs. Shaw and Pownall), which, if it can be taken as correct, places the relative merits of the several architects in somewhat striking juxtaposition. In this return Mr. Barry's merits aro represented by the figures 41, Mr. Scott's by 25, and every on else, far behindhand in the race. Mr. Lockwood has 9 points in his favour, Mr. Waterhouse 6, Mr. Burgos 5, and Mr. Street, against whose appoint ment by the Government Mr. Barry protests, 3. The par ticulars by which these result are arrived at are spe cifically given in each case, "General Subjects," "Law Courts," "Judges' Chamber," and "other suites of offices," all having their special works. Under the heading "Law Courts," Mr. Barry is represented as having 17 marks and Mr. Street one, while "other suites of offices" gives Mr. Barry 11 and Mr. Street 2 separate units. We cannot pretend to go into those figures, or to vouch for them in any way ; ncr is this necessary, as the public is evidently doomed to long professional disquisi tions on the subject. The point raisedis, solar as we understand it, that according to the terms of the contract entered into between the Government and tho competing architects, Mr. Barry is entitled to the prize, and that the award to his friend and rival, Mr. Street, is a distinct breach of covenant. The aggrieved candidate is, moreover, careful to express his confidence in Mr. Street's ability to design and erect a building worthy of the nation, and takes his stand solely upon what ho conceives to be his right. Altogether it seems as if the House of Commons would be called upon to arbitrate in a matter it is eminently unqua lified to decide. THE WEATHER TABLE.-THIS DAY.

Barometrical pressures on our western coasts are less this morning about a quarter of an inch : at other stations the diminution has Leen Fmaller, and pressures in the S.W. have recovered themselves since last evening. Readings are rather uniform the difference between Aberdeen and Cape Clear is three-tenths of an inch. Tem perature in south-eastern districts has risen : in Scotland the weather is a little cooler. The easterly winds increased yesterday to the force of a gale at the entrance of the English Channel, but light and vari able winds are reported this morning. Much mist prevails in the N. Thunder and lightning are reported from the south coasts. The sky is generally overc..st. A little rain has fallen in the south of Ireland. The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post refers to the prevalent rumours respecting an intended movement in Italy against the present regime. It is said that Ex-King Francis's proclamation is ready for distribution. But the correspondent holds that Francis is not the man to make a dash for a lost throne. He is perpetually surrounded by adventurers who, under the pretence of assisting him to recover his crown, spend his money, and thus the Bourbon family, which after its fall was rich, is now poor. Until the present Cabinet came into office, the friends of Italy were dismayed, for each Ministry seemed to vie with its predecessor in adding fresh piles to the huge structure of debt. But now coufidence is restored, and neither the Bourbonists nor the Garibaldians are likely to give more than a little passing trouble. The Post is far more san guine in this matter than most of its contemporaries. Even the Paris Liberal journals admit that serious discon tent prevails in Naples and Sicily, and the large number of arrests in Ravenna indicates a serious state of affairs. The Daily News analyses the changes which have been made by the Reform Acts in England and Wales, and pro phesies that the Liberal majority will be one of a very decided character. It is somewhat remarkable that the balance of party shoald have been so evenly maintained in making these changes, for of the 87 hon. gentlemen who have a personal interest in the alterations, 44 are Conservatives, and 43 are Liberals. It is impossible to reckon with certainty on the gains and losses to both parties, hut our contemporary believes that the Liberals will gain seats in many of the new boroughs, besides many given to the minorities, and there is little doubt which way the Roman Catholic priests will influence their flocks. The action brought by Risk Allah against the Daily Telegraph is made the subject of leaders in the Times, the Daily News, the Star,'Adrertiser, mid the Telegraph itself. The last-named journal contends that it has been defend ing not merely it own interests, but the interests of the English press, which is vitally concerned in knowing how far sincere and disinterested comments upon a public trial and upon the personal reputations at stake may be safely made and successfully indicated. The Telegraph yields to the penalty imposed the willing and ready sub mission of those whose duty it is to uphold the dignity and authority of the "Queen's justice." It will set no example of complaint or protest. "Ifit be said that it is easy for the strong to be patient, at least patience well becomes the strong ; and since, in this great court of English justice, a jury of our countrymen— so charged by the chief personage on the bench—have delivered it as their opinion that we deserve to pay £960 for the crime of publishing certain views of the character of Risk Allah Bey, which he has established as inaccurate, the Daily Telegraph will submit. But while it submits—with out the slightest inclination to disparage the source of judgment—it has no intention, because of that judgment, to swerve from the line which it has long traced for itself, of fearless and conscientious fidelity to the public." To that public, as a tribunal of appeal, the Telegraph boldly carries its case, seeking from its great collective opinion, which it at once reflects and aids to form, the verdict which must bind its moral sense as well as enforce its obedience. The Times says it is evident that the letters from Brussels were in the worst possible taste ; but after the proofs of recklessness which the Lord Chief Justice pointed out, they were shewn to be positively disgraceful. The letters certainly conveyed the imputation that the prisoner was guilty ; but the incident proves how desirable it is that judicial proceedings should be soberly and accu rately reported, and without any rhetorical gambols. The lesson the Times draws from the case is, that it is, on the whole, best to accept the verdict of juries in criminal cases when that verdict is an acquittal of the accused person. To the Daily News it appears that the grave question for the jury to consider was whether the implications and insinuations conveyed in the letters and article in the Daily Telegraph went beyond the limits of fair criticism upon a still pending trial. Were they calculated to lessen the chances of the accused or to otherwise impede the course of justice ? The verdict seems to the Daily News in accordance with the evidence, and a corol lary to the Lord Chief Justice's summing up ; and, what ever may be the moral judgment formed on the case, few, it thinks, will be disposed to quarrel with the legal prin. aide it lays down. Mc Morning Star regards the trial as one of the greatest :,nd most instructive causes which have ever elucidated the law of libel. The verdict must commend itself even to the defendant, for, read coolly and in presence of a jury, there could be no question the letters and the leader expressed inure than a doubt of the unspotted purity of the plaintiff's character. The only possible defence was to attempt to prove justification, and that unquestionably failed. 'rile Star hopes no one will adopt the notion that the liberty of the press has been infringed. The limits of public discussion have not been curtailed, the law has not been stretched, and the jury have hit a fair medium of damages, which are at once substantial and not highly penal. "As for the Daily Telegraph, it rejoices in a new sensation both for itself and its readers, and probably returns sincere thanks to Risk Allah Bey for bringing it before the courts and the public." The Advertiser lays great stress upon the fact that the Telegraph, when certain defects in the letter of the Brussels correspondent and certain prejudicial tendencies of their editorial comment were pointed out, inserted an apology in their columns to the extent to which they believed it to be deserved. Risk Allah would have been better advised if he had accepted the apology and not pressed his case to an issue which, though it has resulted in his favour, has recalled a history that zilighA as well have been conawitted tc) okliviop ,~..~ ~~ PIER MAJESTY.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE'.-THIS MARLBOROUGH-STREET. HIGHWAY ROBBERY by WELL-KNOWN THIENIS; —James Howard, described as a watchmaker, an d : Alfred Cooper, described as a tinker, but both eL whom are well-known thieves, were charged befor e Mr. Knox with the following daring robbery Mr. Charles Owen, accountant, of No. 40, Pal l ' street, Dorset-square, said that shortly after DO o'clock last night, he was proceeding from Be r ' wick-street, Oxford-street, towards the Regent . circus, and while crossing Qaeen-street the Po; soner Howard came in front of hi m an d caugh t hold of his watch chain and pulled it, while Cooper at the same time tripped him up, and he fell 011 1 1 back. On getting up he mi sse d hi s wa t c h, and found his chain hanging down in front of hid. Having called " Stop thief," the prisoner was pa,: sued and captured, and the wa t c h was a ft e rwarl handed to him (prosecuto r ) by a p erson who pieke it up. . . Sergeant Smith, 1 0, said that he was in th e Marlborough-mews station last night, when hea r ' ing cries of " Stop thief," he ran into the tnev iSt and saw a crowd of persons running after the prisoner calling " Stop Thief."

One of the prisoners gave au ad' dress at Mile-end, and the other at Deptford. Mr. Knox said the prisoners would go to the 01a Bailey for highway robbery ; but would be re' tuanded that previous convictions might be proved' THAMES. ALLEGED CRUELTY TO A CAT.--Inspector Turner , of the K division, applied to Mr. Paget for a sul3l - against Mr. Hewett, the proprietor of 08 Hayfield coffee-house, near the Hayfield public• house, Mile-end-road, for cruelty to a cat. Mr. Turner said that a cat jumped up at a cage containing a favourite bird and killed it, and tha t Hewett cut the cat's tail off in three operations. Mr. Paget—How was that done? Mr. Turner said that flewett cut a small portion of the tail off, and some timeafterwards took another joint away with a knife, and on a third operation cut off the remainder of the tail. Mr. Paget--Is the cat alive ? Mr. Turner—lt is, sir, and in a state of grea t torture. Mr. Paget—Take a summons. FRESH VEGETABLES IN TILE MORNING.—Josep h Monroe, a lal about seventeen years of age, Wa s brought before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing potatoes from a cart in the East India Dock-road• Police sergeant Holston, No. 26 K, saw the Fri" soner following a market gardener's cart, in the East India Dock-road at three o'clock this morning• The prisoner took new potatoes outof a sieve at the back of the cart, and filled his pockets with them• Holston pounced upon him and discovered 25 PO' tatoes in his pockets. _ _ The prisoner, a ruddy-faced, stout lad, said he was starving. Mr. Paget—You do not look like a starving per" son, but the contrary. The prisoner assured the magistrate he was want of food. He was formerly employed at the Millwall Ironworks. He had been out of worl some time. Holston said the market gardeners' carts had bee° extensively plundered of all descriptions of vege tables lately, greens, cauliflowers, peas, and carrotg had been taken out of the carts. Several offenders had been punished. Mr. Paget sentenced the prisoner to 14 days' imprisonment and hard labour. IIEALEVG OF WOUNDS BY LEAD. The Journal des Connaissances Medicales of this week contains a paper by Dr. Burggrieve, membe r of the Academy of Medicine of Belgium, on the new way of dressing wounds by means of a lamina of lead, of the thickness of about half a millimcfret and which therefore can be easily bent by O n fingers, and thus, by pressure, made to assume the form of the injured part. Once applied, it is fixe d by means of strips of adhesive plaster, and once or twice a day irrigations are effected on the limb. The author of the paper states that one bun' dred and sixty-five patients out of one hull' dred and seventy-nine treated at the civic hospital at Ghent for. 3 workshop or railway accidents, most of which exceedingly seriotlef were cured without undergoing any operation, the only course followed being the treatment by lead above described. The average duration of the cur ° was 31 days and a fraction. Only`l4, or eight PO cent., died, including those who expired a few hour° after the accident, and who may consequently 10 considered as having been mortally wounded. re r the last five years not a single operation has taken place by the knife at the Ghent hospital in the cases alluded to. Nature alone performs the cure; all the surgeon has to do being merely to second her and avoid the application of irritating topic' Wounds by laceration or crushing are less dangerou s in their consequences than those by the knife, the vessels in the former 'case being contracted ari d offering less chance of purulent absorption. About 50 per cent. of operations by the knife end in death , owing to the general weakness increased by loss of blood and by a strict diet. By the lead treatmen t the patient is not deprived of his limb, and can us e it, though in a mutilated state. The lead remain s in its place for ten or twelve days, without any other trouble but that of making a current of fresh water pass between the lamina and the flesh, O f keeping the limb in a bath. Any person, withon! being a surgeon, can learn to apply the lead, ali t ' this system therefore promises to be extremely' useful on the fliAd of battle, where immediate ainpl; - tation, frequently ending in death, may now b e .ntirely abandonei.
