THE MILL WALL DUCKS. -0- One of the greatest and most important addi tions to the private dock accommodation of the river was made on Saturday by the formal opening of these basins and warehouses. There is not much at any time in the way of ceremonial in the formal opening of a dock, and on Saturday there was less than ever, for, as a fact, the docks have been opened for SOlll3 weeks past. The idea of converting some of the great ext ant of waste marsh land which forms the Isle of Dogs into docks originated some three years back, at a time when the limited company mania was at the zenith of its popularity and power. Since then commercial conditions have sadly changed, and with them, too, have proportionately altered the financial prospects of the llillwall Dock Company, and its shares, which once sold freely at premium, are now at such a terrible dis count that we should almost be afraid to mention what is their nominal value. Of course the public are always the best judges in these matters, and know what shares are worth and what they are not worth. Still, it seems that the Millwall Docks are one among .many other recent commercial under takings which are suffering by the panic from faults of others less worthy of support. It has all the accessories of complete success which are required in such schemes. The land was not costly, the docks have been well and cheaply made, there are unusual facilities to vessels entering or leaving the river, there is ample railway communication close at hand, and a short neck of canal not much more than 200 ft. long would give access to the West India and through them to the East India Docks, thus coupling up what would then form one of the finest series of docks in the kingdom. The whole space on which the docks and ware houses stand is no less than 204 acres. Of this great area there are no less than 35 acres of water for dock accommodation, and when the scheme is entirely completed there will be upwards of 52, leaving no less than 152 acres available for wharfs and warehouses. An adequate idea of the extent of these docks can only be formed by a comparison with other metropolitan undertakings of a similar kind. Thus the Commercial Docks, Rotherhithe, comprise only about 100 acres, the East India Docks about the same, the St. Katherine's Docks less than 10 acres, of which little more than 11 are water, and the London Docks about 40 acres. The Millwall Docks, therefore, when complete will have a water area in itself greater than the whole wharf warehouse and water area of some of our most im portant dockyards. The width of the floating dock at Millwall is no less than 350 ft., and has two en trance locks, one, the first, of 250 ft. long, and the second 200 ft., and both with a width of 80ft., and a depth at the sill of the lock of 28ft. below Trinity high water mark. Thus with the inner gate open a vessel longer and broader than any vessel yet built, except the Great Eastern, could easily be taken into dock at almost any time of average high water. Near the floating dock is a graving dock for the repairs of vessels. Its length is, inside the sill, 415 ft., and its width 65ft., with a depth of water of 25ft. below Trinity datum. All the locks are provided with hydraulic power for working the pairs of gates, the bridge, and sluices, and one three-ton and one five-ton capstan, and hydraulic power is also applied to the draw bridge between the inner and outer dock, and to some of the cranes in connection with the ware houses. Of these latter nine have already been built —namely, two of 300 ft. long, four of 200 ft long, and three of 100 ft. long. These are fitted with 12 35-cwt. cranes, one 5-ton crane, one 15 tons, and a " sheerling," equal to a weight of 80 tons is in course of erection. Oa Saturday little was done in the way of "opening" beyond letting some vessels into the new docks, and in visiting the graving docks, iu which the Arapilcs, a Spanish ironclad, now lies, awaiting her entire completiou for sea. After going over the docks on Saturday the company adjourned to lunch, where Mr. Ayrton, as chairman of the Docks, presided. At the conclusion of the ihyeuner he gave "Success to the Docks" in a warmly eulogistic speech, and expressed his confi dence that the great undertaking which they had then inaugurated would result not only in benefit to all the shareholders, but to the material advan tage of the inhabitants of the district in which the works are situated, end to the benefit of the trade of the Thames generally.

WE COMING MAN. The coming man appea rs to be the Hon. BEN. WADE. The Washington correspondents delight in giving a prefix to the name of this sturdy old politician. Some style him " glorious," some "grand," some " bluff," some " rude," and some "profane." He was born at Feeding Hills, Spring field, Massachusetts, in 1800, and is, therefore, sixty-eight years old. Like ANDREW JOHNSON, he is noted for party zeal and intrepidity. Both are obstinate as mules—neither will back, to use BEN. WADE'S own expression, "a d --d inch." Ame ricans admire " pluck," and unfortunately allow this admiration too much scope in selecting men for high office. ANDREW JOHNSON was an admirable partisan chief in Tennessee, adapted for an emer gency, having dash, courage, and vigour. Though far from deficient in ability, he has no breadth of conception; he is essentially narrow-minded, and, like most narrow-minded people, bigoted. The qualities that raised him to eminence in Tennessee were those that unfitted him for rule at Washing ton. His advent was heralded by shouts of de light from the very men now pursuing him with hisses and curses, and hailing BEN. WADE as glo rious, as grand, aye, even as the deliverer of the United States. There are many who do not forget BEN. WADE'S little speech in Kansas. It is an awkward little speech for a President to face, for it contained a great deal, and proposed a very big change. If BEN. WADE, as President, really intends to make a fair and equal distribution of all pro perty in the United States to those found residing at the time within its boundaries, he ought to give us abroad, timely intimation that we may not be overlooked or be out of the way when the golden shower falls. The similarity of Mr. WADE'S poli tical and social training to that of Mr. JOHNSON, as well as the many points of resemblance in dis position, create anxiety in the minds of some thoughtful men. The example is not encouraging, and similar causes they know are very apt to pro duce similar effects. When ANDREW JOHNSON was the coming man, and Tennessee .rang with his name, the very reverse of all that has happened was anticipated. He declared there was no gallows sufficiently high on which to hang JEFFERSON DAVIS, yet the tall stick he has been looking for is one on which to run up the flag of the South. Iu a mighty gathering, when the black faces of a multitude were turned upon him, he solemnly undertook to be the " MosEs" of the negro race— the great deliverer who was to lead them from the bondage of the valley of the Mississippi, as MOSES led the Israelites from the bondage of the valley of the Nile. Yet the rock on which he has split is his un measured and unscrupulous hostility to the emanci pating and the elevating measures of Congress for the very race who3e Moses he had been proclaimed. On one point this is reassuring, at least to those who possess property, for if the present, coining man also acts "by the rule of contrary," it will be in direct opposition to his Kansas programme. Unless there is something peculiar in the atmosphere of the White House, and something fascinating and bewitching in the counsels of Southerner:, we may expect that Mr. WADE will Consult such men as COLF AX, FEs- SENDEN, WILSON, GREELEY, GRANT, and SHERIDAN, • and Congressional measures he carried out as in tended. 'We believe that the moment ANDREW JOIINSON ceases to occupy the Presidential chair the nation will be relieved from a constant irritation— one not unlike that which a tropical fly can pro duce on an elephant, notwithstanding the monster's PRICE.— 4d. STAMPED sd. trunk. Relieved from this, people will settle down quietly to their work, and leave matters at Wash ington to take their course. If BEN. WADE turns Copperhead when he gets into the White House the building will have to be pulled down, and a new residence erected for the Chief Magistrate, for even the most incredulous will then be convinced that there is an evil spirit within the walls.—Anglo- American Times. UN ITED STATES GOVERN)! ENT BONDS. -oco---. --- A good proof is given of the wide distribution of the United States debt among its eitiz:nis by the slight effect on the value of the bonds produce I by the intense excitement and a'ariu that followed on Mr. JOHNSON'S attempt to expel Mr. STANTON. Even while telegrams were flying over the country, and governors tender ing the military force of their States either Congress or to the PRESIDENT, no movement was discernible in the bonds. For a brief space a civil war appeared almost inevitable; not a sectional war like the last, but a real genuine civil war, wherein the inhabitants of villages and cities would have to fight it out in the streets, before the con quering party could proclaim into which scale the State was to be thrown. It wasin the presence of this danger that gold declined, and 5-20 Bonds stood like a rock. Now this is a very curious fact, and calls for minute inquiry. What is it that has given to the national debt of the United States a strength so extraordinary and unlooked for ? It is certainly not shown . in the market price of the bonds, for if the security was held by the world to be really good, it is not at 71 or 72 that 6 per cents. would be quoted as now in London. We believe that the explana tion is to be found in the diffusion of the debt in small lots over the country. It is difficult to get a people in motion ; it is easy to excite a panic and quick action in a few large holders. Capitalists being influenced simultaneously by the same causes become sellers ; they sell in heavy parcels, while if they be the only dealers the buyers are removed from the market. Where a na tional debt is thus held, and a country danger ously threatened with disruption, the fall in its funds is decisive. Even English Consols, bad a small portion of the danger threatened England as threatened America, would have declined heavily. There is some thing very strange in the way Five-Twenty Bonds seem to maintain almost the same quotation in the face of total Repudiation —payment in greenbacks— ' reduction of interest—or taxation. When the country met Mr. PENDLETON'S proposition with a general cry of indignation, Five-Twenties remained impassive ; there was no buoyancy when the West stamped on every candidate's ticket " Green back Redemption," two words largely endorsed by the East, when the cry was taken up by such Radical chiefs as STEVENS and BUTLER, when it became the platform even for the Presidential nomi nation, and newspapers were launched expressly to advocate it, still United States Bonds were the same. At the moment when a bill was introduced into the Senate, and another into the House—the one to enforce a reduced interest and a longer date, the other to levy on the bends a tax of two per cent. per annum--still they continued unmoved. Even in the last great trial, when the PRESIDENT and Congress threatened to be at the bead of opposing armies to act in America the part of England in the time of CHARLES 1., still Five-Twenties were unchanged. Why is this ? Fancy-Stocks and even great Rail way Securities fly up and down in Wall-street with a mar vellous rapidity, but Five-Twenties seldom stir. They are no barometer, for there cannot be a question that the political atmosphere was momentarily heavily charged during the recent crisis at Washington ; and yet these bonds did not respond. if the general apportionment of this debt among the people be not the cause of the stability, we are at a loss to understand the reason. The mass of the holders have a firm faith in the security of their Bonds. They believe in the des tiny of the United States, and in its prosperity they look for repayment in full. The idea of a United States' promise to pay, becoming worthless, retains DO place in their minds, for they hold such a con tingency to be impossible. Politicians may rave at Washington; statesmen may be grouped on the plat form of Repudiation ; but the people's faith remains unshaken. If the Bonds fell, and they had money to invest, they would buy, and where a large number are thus impressed, such funds will in all probability retain the value at which the holders appraise them. Though we give it, we do not attach importance to this explanation; but the fact is curious and striking, and is in truth one of the strongest proofs of the innate belief of the people in the manifest destiny of their country. An idea how far the poor classes of the Republic are interested in the Debt may be gathered from the fact that the Savings' Banks in the State of New York hold 40 million dollars of the Bonds, and it is estimated not less than $200,000,000 are held by the Savings' Banks of the nation, which means that nearly 30 millions sterling of the savings of labourers are invested in United States' Government Securities. Few who watch the current of American events fail to perceive how strongly the drift is towards the payment of Five-Twenties in greenbacks. We believe that the people will act on the strict letter of the law; that is, that they will pay every bond issued before greenbacks became a Legal Tender in gold, as well as every bond afterwards issued bear ing on its face the pledge of such redemption. The fight will be over Five-Twenties. The Rhode Island Republican Convention favours payment in gold, and there is no State of the Union that has had a more bitter experience of the paper-money folly. That of Missouri adopted no resolution on this subject. The Kentucky Democratic Conven tion endorsed PENDLETON'S plan of paying the debt in greenbacks, so did that of Minne sota. The Repudiator, a newspaper appropriately named, as it was devoted to repudiation, has been brought out in St. Louis. It is a Democratic journal, though the more respectable of the party repudiate it, having a sufficient load of sins to carry without being saddled with the infamy of a paper which they protest has been fastened on them by Republicans. Senator SHERMAN spoke on the 27th upon Finance. He said Bonds issued before the creation of the Legal-Tenders must be paid in gold, or it is repudiation. The proposition to print greenbacks for the purpose of swamping the debt he also pronounces repudiation. In the face of the Report of the Treasurer of Massachusetts, he affirms that " Every State has recognised the paper principle by paying its debt, principal and interest, in green backs, save the States on the Pacific slope," He believes the United States have a legal right to re deem the Bonds not promised in gold with paper. He proposes to reduce the 5-20's from six to five per cent., and gradually to pay off the principal in gold until the debt be annihilated, which he cal culates can be done iu 1901-2. The Attorney.. General, of New Jersey, replied to a resolution of inquiry by the Legislature, giving it as his opinion that any law of New Jersey, taxing, directly or in directly, Government Securities, or the income de rived therefrom, as such, would be repugnant to the Constitution and laws of the United States. This is also the opinion of Senator SIIERNIAN, who states that to tax Government Securities in the manner lately proposed would be a palpable viola tion of the Constitutian. —Anglo-Amer/eau Times. " LONDON."—A curious point arose last Friday at the Rolls Chambers as to Lord H. Seymour's bequest to the charities - of London. His lordship died in 1859, and the definition of London by the Master of the Rolls was not. four mile radius, nor the metropolitan police district, but a "continuous line of houses." An application was made to participate in the fund on the part of the Home for Sol diers' Daughters at Hampstead (within four miles), and the Chief Clark (Mr. Marshall) refused the application, on the ground that there was not in 1859 a continuous line of 1 1011011t0 tho Home.

She accepted the transfer, and on her subsequently coming of age, and an • order being made for winding up the company in June 18(16, she wrote several letters in respect of her liability, which she did not repudiate. She, however, became insol vent, and the liquidator now contended that the contract and transfer of shares having been made during her infancy were void, and that the transferror should be held liable. Vice-Chancellor Ciffard, however, held that the contract was originally only a voidable one, and not void, and that the course taken by the lady after she came of age amounted to an acceptance of the shares. The liquidator must pay the respondent's costs.

MANSLAUGHTER.--At the Aylesbury Assizes, before Mr. Baron Martin, James Inwood was indicted for the wilful murder of John White, a gamekeeper in the service of Captain Swabey, of Wavendon Hall. The evidence shewed that on the night of the 24th December, 1867, while the deceased and a gardener named Edward Parr were watching in a field over which Captain Swabey had the right of shooting, they heard a report and saw two men coming up. The men stopped at a distance of about fifteen yards from the watchers and whispered together. The taller of the two poachers then ran away, and Parr, the gardener, followed him. The prisoner stood his ground, and as White, the deceased, approached to apprehend him, the prisoner's gun was discharged, and the contents entered the body of White, who fell and died on the spot in a few minutes. The poacher who ran away was called, and said that when he and the prisoner were whispering, prisoner said to him, " Shoot them," meaning the watchers, and when he tried to dissuade him, the prisoner replied, " God strike me dead, I will."

The Carpel lixmatite Company was formed in ISSB, and its nominal capital was stated in the memo- randum of association, and in other documents, to be £105,000, " whereof £lOO,OOO is paid up, and £5,000 remains to be called." The company was ordered to be wound up in I.M and the liquidator proposed a call of £3O, and a list of contributories including the names of the present respondents. These gentlemen, who were not original shareholders, contended that, as they had bought the shares on the faith of their being paid up to the extent of £lOO, the Egli dator was not entitled to go behind the register and other statutory documents in order to prove that the shares were fraudulent in their original inception, and that no such sum had really been paid up at the for mation of the company ; and further, that they, as Iva, fide purchasers, buying the shares on the faith of the official documents, open to public creditors as well as to them, could not be made liable for the call. The court was much divided in opinion ; but the result of their judgment is, that the liquidator is to be allowed to prove that no such sum as was stated was in fact paid up. The majority of the court regarded it as inconsistent with the policy of the statutes to relieve purchasers of shares from the obligation to pay up the capital actually unpaid, merely Lecause a false statement on that subject was con tained in the company's documents. It is understood that the case will be carried at once by the respondents to the House of Lords. TIORRIBLE MUJWER. The village of Winscambe, lying under the Mendip Hills, has just been the scene of a murder, probably com mitted during insanity. On Friday a lad 13 years of ago had been employed by Me. Henry Hancock to keep birds from off a field that has recently been planted with corn. At about six o'clock in the evening, from a rumour that was in circulation, his friends went to the field in question and there found the lifeless body of the lad, about ten yards from the gateway leading to the high road, with a frightful gash in the throat, extending nearly from ear to car. About the same time the body was discovered a young man named Alexander Hobnes called at the lodgings of Acting-sergeant Hancock, at Dan well, and stated that he had just killed a boy. The con stable was at the time out on duty, but Holmes re mained with the old landlady of the house until the parish constable arrived, by whom he was taken in charge, brit was subsequently banded over to Police-constable Bur /ington, who conveyed him to the Axhridgc police-station. Prisoner stated that lie was a son of Colonel Holmes, a retired officer of the 12th Lancers, now residing at Boscrea, Ireland ; that he had for some time past lived with one Edwin Godfrey, at Ellington, near Bridgwater, Somerset, where lie had been placed by his friends. He further stated that lie felt lie must kill some one, and he wondered how it was that lie had not killed more, as he had pass.al several persons on the road. Oa coming to the field where lie saw the unfortunate lad at work lie could no longer resist the temptation ; so, opening the gate, lie went up to him, and, without speaking to him, dealt him a heavy blow on the head with a stick that he had in his hand, and afterwards took out a knife, and nearly severed the head from the trunk. Tha police, on making a search, found a heavy stick, marhled with blood, about ten yards from where the body was found, and about six yards further on they discovered a knife by the side of a small brook that runs through the fields, at which place prisoner stated he washed his hands. There are several stains of blood on prisoner's clothes. The atrocity of the deed has caused the greatest excite_ ment in the neighbou r h oo d , and some Imudreds of persons have visited the scene of the murder. THE CON',ICIENCE CLAUSE.—Tho Vicar of Green wich (Rev. Dr. Miller) having resuscitated the committee for the government of his girls' and infants' schools, and drawn up a code of laws for their management, inserted a liberal conscience clause, referring both to religious instruc tion and attendance at public worship.

DRFRAUDING A FRIENDLY SOCIETY. —A singular charge of fraud has been investigated in the Liverpocl Police-court. Two women insured the lives of relatives in the Liver Friendly Society, and on producing the ilea's sary certificates of death w,re paid the insurance money. It was subsequently ascertained that the relatives in question were not dead, and that the certifi cates of death were obtained by misrepresentation. The medical men who gave the certificates had visited patients who personated the insured relatives, and on being told that the sufferers were dead the doctors, in accordance with the usual practice, gave certificates, without further inquiry. The accused women were sent for trial at the assizes, and the stipendiary magistrate, Mr. Raffles, intends to direct the attention of the judges to the case, with the view of obtaining such an alteration of the law as will make it incumbent upon surgeons to satisfy themselves (04e truth of represeutatiaz of death.
