THE EDUCATION BILL AND THE
DISSENTERS.

The Lads Mercury of Tuesday prints a petition
which it says Itfci hien numerously and inflnontially
signed, both by clergymen of the Cnurch of England
and ministers if Nonconformist bodies, as sff,iriling the
basis of a • promise in this question. The petitien
shows that " tie exclaiion of religious teaching from
primary schools would be highly inexpedient and at
variance ulth the general sentiment of the c sultry ;
but that it would be desirable, for the rake of justice
ami harmony, that in rate-aided school's no distinctive
tortoni:ay if any reliOeus body shall be taught, that
the ivnool wink shall in all cases be arranged ace, id-
rig to a time-table, accessible to parents; that
:toy fo,tent. shall be at liberty to claim exemption
for his child from the religious instruction; and
loather, that her Majesty's inspectors shall be
charged to see that the intention of these clauses is
uot indirectiy violated." l'he petition has been
accepted as a practical compromise by the Rev. T.

DEATH OF A FAMOUS PARROT.

The French papers announce the death of Jacks,
the famous josrrot of the War Office in Paris. Jacks
was first brought into the office in Itifio by Mar-hal
Suit, and he remained for forty years at Lis post
unaffected by revoluti me or party conflicts. After a
tium he came to he looked upon as an indispensable
appanage of the War Department and when there was
a Cabinet crisis people used to ask who was to get, not
the War Office portfolio, but the War Office parrot.
Though he served under eighteen different Ministers,
he always remained consistent to the principles which
were instilled into him when he first mitered oftitte.
Both under the Republic and the Second Empire
he remained a stanch Royalist, and there were few
rnemb,rs of his party who spoke their minds with so
much frankness. One day his repeated cries of " Vive
le Rot !" so annoyed Marshal St. Arnaud when he
was War Minister that he ordered the indiscreet bird
to be turned out. Jacko had a friend, however, in the
porter, who took him into his lodge and taught him to
add "de St. Arnaud" to his usual cry. 'I he bird was
then put back into his room, and as the Marshal was
passing, screamed out, "Vice le roi de St. Arnaud!"
"A la bonne heure," said the Minister, anel Jack°
was at once retaken into favour. Of late years the
clerks tried to teach him "Vive l'Empereur ! " but he
never could bring out the entire sentence without
tremendous efforts. He got on very well as far as
" Vive l'Empe—," but at this point he seemed to
choke, his feathers stood on end, and his eyes rolled
with an anxious expression as if he felt his conscience
reproaching him. At last, after several minutes' in.
tense struggling, he would jerk out the last syllable—
" reur "—in a hoarse sepulchral tone. He died imme-
diately after the Duchess of Berry, and on the anni-
versary of the death of Napoleon 1., three days before
the plebise3that,

above date he threatened to kill her, and made use of
abusive language. The defence was that his wile would
sot leave her mother's house, and that she had broken
up two homes. Complainant, on being recalled, said she

THE MARKETS.

MARK-LANL—lfoxber.

Influeneed by the more favourable reports from the
agricultural districts, the grain trade has been in a depressed
state. The supply of English wheat at blurb-lone this morn-
ing was only moderate. The attendance of millers was
limited, and the demand ruled heavy for both red and white
produce. Forced sales would have resulted in lower rates.
With foreign wheat the market has been moderately sup-
plied. Sales have progressed slowly, and the quotations
have ruled in favour of buyers. The supply of barley
wee moderate. The trade was quiet, but prices
were well maintained. Malt was dull, on former terms.
Oats, the show of which was less extensive, were in improved
request at 3d. to 6d. more money. Beans were quiet, at the
rates previously current. For pew there was • moderate
demand, and full currencies were obtained. Flour change
bands slowly, at last week's prices. Linseed was quiet, but
prices ruled firm. Rapeseed was steady. leiai7.o was per.
chased to a moderate extent.

MARIC-LA.NE.—WEDNESDAIL
The grain trade at Mark-Lane this morning flu been in a
very quiet state. The supplies of English wheat have been
only moderate, but they have been sufficient to meet all
inquiries. In all qualities sales have progressed slowly, at
the late reductions. The show of foreign wheat has been
tolerably good. The trade has been heavy at the quotations
of Monday. The supply of barley has been moderate. The
Inquiry has been restricted, but prices have ruled firm.
Malt has been dull, at late rates. Oats, the show of which
has been moderate, have been in healthy request, at full
quotations.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.-MONDAY.

The cattle trade has assumed a -11-rm—e-17;ne,--a;il--n;Ore
money has been paid. The supply of besets has been below
the average, but the quality has been good. The demand
has not been active, but steadiness has been engendered by
the shortness of the supply. The best Scots and crosses
have been disposed of at 43. 10d. to 53. per Sib. From Norfolk,
Suffolk, Esser, and Cambridgeshire we have received about
1,400 Scots and crosses; from other parts of England, 450
various breeds; and from Scotland 160 Scots and crosses.
With sheep the market has been less freely supplied, and
the show of English has been poor at regards quality. The trade
has been more active, at Id per 811, more money. The hest
downs and half-breds have sold at ss. Id. to 65. 4d. per sib.
Lambs have told quietly, at Os 6d. to is. 41. per Sib. Calves
have been in fair request, at full prices, but pigs have
changed hands slowly.

WHY OYSTERS ARE SCARCE!

At the Thames pollee-court In London, Mr. Schert, land-
lord of the " Prussian Eagle" public. house, In Ship-alley, near
Rah:la-highway, appeared to answer a charge of assaulting
John Mills.

The Complainant mid he had been a waiter in the
service of the defendant. A few weeks since, after
supper, he ate four dozen and a half of oysters, and a
corresponding quantity of bread and butter, which Ins
master paid for.
The Magistrate Four dozen and shelf of oysters and
bread and butter after supper! You must be a second
Dando.

Complainant: On Sunday light, the 15th of May,
at half-past twelve o'clock, the defendant agreed to
pay for all the oysters he could eat in one tub at an
oyster-stall. He had eaten a pound and a half of beef-
ateak and bread and drank a pot of porter for his
supper, but he easayed to swallow forty-two large
French oysters. The defendant said if he did not eat
very oyster in the tub, he would make him pay for
every oyster he did eat. The defendant cheated him
while he was devouring the oysters and bread and
butter, by adding more oysters to the tub he was eat-
ing from by taking more from another tub. After
eating about thirty oysters he put his fingers into his
throat, and relieved himself of all he had eaten to make
room for a fresh supply.
The Magistrate: Indeed ; then this was quite a
beastly affair.
The Complainant said the defendant hal insisted on
Ms eating the oysters off the ground a second time,
and on his refusal to do so attacked him and struck
him several times.

The Defendant said he bad paid for all the oysters
eaten by the complainant one night, but he objected to
paying for the oysters which the complains. t had not
fairly eaten and digested on the second night.. The
agreement was that he was to pay for all oysters the
complainant ate, and as he brought them elf his
stomach he thought he was relieved from paying any-
thing.
The Magistrate: It is a filthy affair altogether. I
dismiss the summons.

LONG-LOOKED FOR!

It seems now as if sonic steps were seriously being
taken to facilitate our means of communication with
France. Last week the &bet Committee if the House
of Comouons to whom the "International I Imo thmsica-
tlon Bill" was referrid declared its preamble iirived,
subject to cartsiu conditions restricting the operation
of the Act until the Emperor of the French had given
his assent to the construction of the works of the new
harbour of Andrucelles on the French side. A fuU
description of this scheme has already been published.
Passengers starting from London to Paris, or vice versa,
will pass through from capital to capital without even
a change of carriage. The whole train will be cat ried
on board stsainers of 6,000 tons, and of 1,600
honimpower. These, it is calculated, will acimm-
idol the journey across at the rate of twenty
miles an hour, while Mr. Fowler's plan for their
construction will neutralize to a great extent the
nasty chopping sea of the Channel, which is so trying
to the present small vessels, and still more trying to
their passengers. The miseries of the Calais bar and
of the Admiralty pier at Dover seem now in a fair
way of being removed, and all the sufferings of the
"middle passage" done away with. Mechanically
speaking, there appears to be little difficulty in the
question. An average express train only weigh 120
tons, which is nothing for a vessel of 6,000 tons to
carry. Passengers can leave their carriages when on
board the steamer, if they please, and breakfast, lunch,
or dine in the saloon,.

FRAUDS ON AMERICAN RAILWAYS.

SpeculaSore in American railway stocks have re-
cently been startled by having handed to them spurious
documents professing to be scrip of the principal
American lines. At first it was thought that the issue
of this paper was an accidental circumstance; but the
Liverpool Mercury states that from what has recently
transpired it seems that a deep-laid and carefully exe-
cuted scheme has been carried out for defrauding the
railway companies in America. Information was
given to the American Government that an extensive
conspiracy existed, the " operators" being in Paris and
New York, for flooding the American market with
spurious scrip, purporting to represent shares in railways
in that country, chiefly the Pacific Railway Company.
The matter was placed lathe hands of Mr. Philip Farley,
one of the most experienced inspectors of the New
York detective police. Mr. Farley came to this
cnintry a short time ago to prosecute his inquiries in
regard to the alleged fraud. He immediately put him-
self in communication with Mr. Kehoe, the chief of
the Liverpool detective police, and after a short
stay in this country, during which it is understood
valuable information was obtained, Mr. Farley
proceeded to Paris, and it is stated that he has suc-
ceeded in tracing the root of the fraud in that
capital. It is said that the spurious scrip was printed
in that city from copper-plate, and then sent to Eng-
land and America for circulation. Mr. Farley has
succeeded in obtaining the plates from which the scrip
was printed, and has thus no doubt prevented what
would have been a tremendous fraud.

CRADLEY HEATH.

Congers-0u Monday evening a concert took place
in the New Connexion School-room, Five Ways, the
proceeds of which were for the liquidation of the debt
on the school premises. There mu wail nicely decorated
and there was a large audience present. The programme
was varied. Several pieces were played by the Nether.
ton String Band in a splendid manner, and they were
loudly applauded. Wis. Crew, also of Netherton, sang
several stings, among them " Bid me discourse," and the
`• Skylark." In the latter she was deservedly encored.
She possesses • capital voice, and will doubtless become
• skilled amateur. Miss ReatLcutc, of Stuurbridge,
sang very beautifully, and in her song of "I'm • merry
%Angara," was loudly encored. A duet by the same lady
and Mr. Shakespere, win; much appreciated. "lading
away" waa pleaaingly rendered by Miss Parsons. as was
alai, • duet by the Misses Priest and Bloomer. Mr. Box
sang with due effect " The Death of Nelson." Mr. B.
Cartwright sang 'Rose of Hax.edean," and :" Happy
Dreamland.- In the first he was encored, and then
gave as "Au I'd nothing aloe to do." Tke glee party
consisting of Miss Heathcote, and Messrs. Fry, Cart-
wright, and Leach, sang some glees in • very creditable
style. Both musically and financially the concert proved
a success.

Sr. Luat.'s Cm:inv.—The annusl sermons on behalf
of the choir were preached on Sunday last. The Rev.
Dr. Dixon, of quarry Bank, officiated in the morning,
and the Rev. N. Dunn, M.A., in the evening. At both
services an anthem was sung by the choir. The culler.
Don was very good.

CRICKET.

STOORIZIDOE s. DUDLEY —A roateh WAS played OW
the Stotubriige ground on Monday last, between the
above.named tubs, and no doubt if it had neon played
out it would hem been one of the best and most closely
contested of this season; hat, unfortunately, there was
not sufficient time. The consequence was that the
match ended unsatisfactorily, baying to be decided on
the ffrst innings, instead of being played oat. The. sort
of thing no doubt to • certain extent could be obviated,
simply by commencing play at ten o'clock. instead of
calling the match at eleven, and not beginning to play
until twelve. In the days of yore the time was strictly
kept, and sub side was enabled to have two innings, so
trying the respective merits and strength of each side.
Had there been time to have played the match out, no
doubt the result would have been very different to what
it was, as the fitoarbridg• Club had • strong team as will
Is. seen by the name. below. Stourbridge won the toss,
and sent Messrs. J. Fisher and W. H. Moore to bundle
the willow to the bowling of Messrs. D. Smith and Job-
sem Mr. King succeeded in getting the top score, 17,
and Mr. J. S. Wainwright, 15. The howling being very
good, the whole were disposed of for 69 runs. The
Dudley sent to the wicket Messrs. H. Smith and J. Wil-
kinson, to the bowling of Messrs F. Swindell end J.
Boulton. Rues were got very slowly, the bowling being
dead en the wicket, and five wickets were down tor 32
runs. When J. K. Jones and Boundey got together rune
were got faster, • good number of them from Mr. Bout-
ton's •• slows," Mr. F. Swindell bowling remarkably well.
When a hundred runs bad been got Mr. H. Turney was
put on to bowl, and the result wee the change soon got
them out, as two were csaght out off Mr. Tuiney's bow-
lug. This change, we think, should have taken place
earlier, es • change of bowling often does good. The
total Genre got was 197, Mr. Boundey timiting 38. and
Mr. .1. B. Jones el. In the seeond inelegant the Stour.
bridge Mr. J. Boulton end Mr. Moore went to the wirkets,
when Mr. Moore was bowled by Mr. D. Smith without
scoring. Mr. Moore, who is well known as being one of
the best all.round cricketers in the district, wen very on-
fortunste in both innings, another instance of the un-
certainty of scoring in cricket, as this gentleman is •
Sac bat. Mr. Fisher made 19 by some excellent cricket;
Mr. H. Turney, who is a very promising player, IS ; Mr.
J. Hayes, • good 16; and Mr. W. Grazebrook 15 mot

RECOVERY OF STOLEN DIAMONDS.

On March 24, Mr. Hart, a diamond merchant, carry-
ing on business hi Paris, but an English subject, was
robbed of diamonds and Paris oldigationato the amount
of more than £5,000. A woman who had been in his
employ disappeared about the same time, leaving with
a man. The prtiterty was advertised, and the French
police, having been communicated with, traced the
parties from Paris to London, but all further trace
failed. Mr. Joel Emanuel. elicitor, Austinfriars,
communicated, on behalf of Mr. Hart, with the author-
ities at Scotlandevarti, and the man suspected, it was
found, had left Southamoton for America. On the
suspected man arriving at New York he wasasked what
property he had todeclare subject to duty, and not being
it would seem aware that diamonds were liable to duty
in America, he replied that he none. In consequence
of his suspicious manner he was searched at the Cus-
tom-bongo by Inspector Lee, and the whole of the
diamonds and Paris obligations were found upon him.
Not being in a position to pay the duty the diamonds
were detained. The person in whose possession the
diamonds were found applied to his friends in London
for money to enable him to pay his duty. The letter
ultimately found its way into the hands of the police
at Scotland-yard, and the whole of the facts becoming
known instructions were forwarded to the authorities
at New York to detain the property. Mr. Joel
Emanuel having communicated with Lord Clarendon
at the Foreign Office and with the Home Secretary, his
Lordship at once telegraphed to the English Consul to
claim the diamonds as the property of an English sub-
ject, and directions were forthwith sent to her
Alajeaty's Minister at Washington to the like effect.
Mr. Hart is about proceed to America to claim the
property, and the result will be the fortunate recovery
of the whole of the diamonds stolen hem him.

SHOCKING MURDER AND SUICIDE IN
THE ISLE OF MAN.
The following dreadful tragedy has taken place In the Isle
of Ilan:—

A young man named Williams, who, it is said, was
connected with a well-tmdo Eughsh family visited
the island some time ago and become attached to a
barmaid at the Castle Mona Hotel, Douglas, and to
whom he was recently married in Manchester. On
Tuosday in last wetk, they went to the Isle
of Man after their wedding tour, and it is alleged that
during the next two days Williams drank heavily and
was very eccentric in his manner. On Thursday he
was convoyed home in a state of intoxication ;
and on Thursday night, having partly shaken oft
the effects of the morning's debauch, he went to
the Derby Hotel, and conducted himself in a

THE FEN lAN ATTACK ON

CANADA.

A BATTLE ON THE FRONTIER.

The Lombard Telegraphic News Company has
received the following deapatch
New York, Thursday, 2 a.m.

" The American Marshal has arrested General
O'Neill. An engagement has taken place at
Starmand (2), on the Canadian frontier, in which
silty Canadian volunteers repulsed 200 Fenians.
The Canadians have 1,000 troops stationed on
the frontier. The Fenians have become demo-
ralised, and the present movement is considered
to have terminated in a disastrous iinscu."
. .

•
A Central Press telegram gives the following
account ef the battle :—" The first Fenian raid
upon Canada has signally failed. 'lns ineur-
, gents advanced two hundred well-arrued men
under the command of General O'Neill, and
crossed the border near Franklyn, Vermont, at
noun yesterday. The Canadian volunteers,
having lain in concealment, surprised them.
he Feniuns, however, returned lire, and alight
commenced which lasted for some time. Gene-
al O'Neill, while at the right of his command,
1184 arrested by a United States officer, Marshal
I Forster. He attempted resistance; but was
thrust into a coach, and driven rapidly to St.
Albans, and from thence to Burlington. The
raiders, deprived of their leader, recroesed, hav-
ing lost one killed and one wounded. The Can.
admits report their force one hundred etrong ;
no less. The general movement of Fenian par-
ties northward still continues. Canadian forces
are hurrying to the frontier. Prince Arthur hue
gone to the front with Lord Russell's regiment.
the arrest of General O'Neill, however, damps
Fenian enthusiasm, and the defeat of his eons-
puny is considered decisive. No other crossing
is reported."
A slightly different account is given by the
American correspondent of the Ttenss in a des.
patch dated Philadelphia, Wednesday night :
" A body of Funiami croseed the frontier op-
posite Franklyn this morning. They were met
by the Canadian troops, and were repulsed.
Two lonians were killed and two wounded. In
the confusion of the light, General O'Neill was
arrested by .the United States Marshal, and
taken to St. Xiban's, where he was held in cus-
tody on a charge of violating the neutrality
laws. The leniane are greatly diecouraged, and
mussy are returning home. The United States
troops are arriving on the frontier.
The Feui.in force near Huntingdon is reported
to exceed 2000 men, under the command of
General Gleason, or Spear. Rumours also may
that heavy reinforcements are arriving there.
Large numbers of Fenians left New York, Bos-
ton, Buffalo, and other cities, for the frontier,
yesterday and to-day. Reported that 2000 of
them left New York. It is believed that 0'
Neils move was merely a disguise of more im-
portant :movements at other points. Sixty
United States Artillerymen, arrived at Odens-
burg te-day, and 120 Artillerymen left New
York for Malone.

ENGLAND AND FRANCE.

An important state ceremony has just taken
place in Paris which was looked forward to with
greet interest. In the Salle des Etats of the
Louvre, a splendid hall replete with historic as-
aociatione, was presented to the Emperor the
official declaration of the result of the lute ne-
tional vote, and it was known that the ruler of
Franco would make a political speech. The
ceremony itself was an imposing one. The
Emperor and Empress sat together on the
throue on a raised dais; on the right were
chairs of gate for the Prince Imperial. Prince
Napoleon, and other members of the Imperial
family ; and on the left were several princesses
members of the same powerful family. The
gorgeous apartment was filled with :senator%
members of the Legislistive Body, Councillors
of State. officials, and privileged spectators;
and the Emperor knee: that in speaking to this

DEATH OF MR. MARK LEMON.

We regret to have to announce the death of Mr.
Mark Lemon, which took place at his country residence,
at Crawley. Susees, on Monday morning last. Mr.
Lemon had been out of health for some weelcg, and
had been desired by his medical advisers to abstain
from business, but there had been no anticipation of a
fatal result, and on the previous day he wrote and
dictated letters, one of which was an invitation to a
!rieiid to vi.it him "any day." .

Mr. Lemon was in his siXty-first year, having been
horu in Linen in 1809. He very early devoted himself
to the pursuit of literature, and began as a writer fi r
the stage, to which he contributed nearly sixty
dramatic pieces, some of which were in their time
very popular, though of course the recollection of
most of them has passed away now. Besides
writing for the stage, he was himself a roost accom-
plished amateur performer, and as a member of the
Guild of Literature and Art, constantly acted in aid
of its funds. V. ry many of our readers will no doubt
recollect the consummate humour and keen sly ry
with which he a short time since gave his readings of
the characiier of Falstaff. In this impersonation—he was
accustomed to say that nature had fitted him for the
character—he wart inimitable He was one of the

SOLIDIFIED CHLOROFORM.

A new medicine has been recently introduced by
Liehreich, of Berlin, which reminds us of the sleep-
stuff described in Mr. Helps's " Realmati" It has
proved to be of great value in the hands of qualified
practitioners, and has sprung rapidly into use. It is,
so to speak, a kind of solidified chloroform, or, more
accurately being taken as other medicines are taken it
gives off chloroform in the living body. The chloroform
thus liberated produces sleep, and the sleep thus pro-
duced lasts for many hours. The action and capabili-
ties of this valuable remedy are being extensively
tested, but it is in America, that, with charac-
teristic enthusiasm, the new remedy has been most
warmly received. One drug house reports that
it had received orders for 100 pounds (30 grains
being a medicinal dose), and had none on hand, but
expected a few pounds shortly from Germany. An-
other house which had large orders was only able to
obtain four ounces. It would seem that our American
Cousins welcome with singular earnestness this sleep-
producing elixir. One of the remarkable properties
of the hydrate of chloral is that the duration of the
sleep may by its means be prolonged and limited with
_owe exactness.
