A DEAD BODY IN A LOST LUGGAGE
OFFICE.

A singular discovery has been made amongst the
lost luggage at the Shrewsbury Railway Station.
Amongst the boxes was one which had been taken out
of a train from Hereford in October last, and which
was directed to a person in Edinburgh, "till called
for." As there was no claimant at Shrewsbury, and
the box was found in a passenger carriage, it was de-
tained, and duly reported to the clearing-house, Lon-
don. On Thursday in last week all the lost luggage
was examined, and the mysterious box was duly
opened. To his intense surprise he found the contents
consisted of the body of a full-grown child. The
corpse was carefully wrapped up in many folds of
newspaper, but there was not a single article of
clothing, or anything else that might afford a clue to
the identity of the child or its parents. The box ap-
peared to have been specially made for the purpose for
which it had been used, and no tightly and skilfully
was the body packed, that when opened on Thursday,
after lying in the office for upwards of three months,
it was found to be in a perfect state of preservation.
On being exposed to the air, however, it immediately
became affected, and rapidly reached a state of decom-
position.
An inquest was held on Friday night, but no evi-
dence leading to identification was forthcoming.
The body was, according to the medical evidence,
that of a very fine, full-grown child, but when ex-
amined it had reached such an advanced stage of
decomposition that the doctor was unable to say
whether or not death was the result of violence. The
is x had been too small for the child to be straight in,
the former being eighteen inches in length, and the
latter nineteen. Round the body were wrapped a
copy of the Legal Observer, the Legal Circular, a por-
tion of the Worcestershire Herald, date 18th August,
1862, and several numbers of the Welcome Guest. The
jury returned an open verdict.

CARDINAL CULLEN AND THE IRISH

QUESTION.

A pastoral from Cardinal Cullen was read in the
Roman catholic chapels of Dublin on Sunday. His
eminence condemns The Times and the Quarterly
Review for adding despair to the other evils which
afflict Ireland, by informing the catholic bishops, as
they have done, that no redress of grievances is to be
expected. • Whilst deploring the criminal folly of
engaging in secret societies or open rebellion against
the government of the country, in union with the
other prelates of Ireland at their late meeting, he ex-
horts the faithful again to avail themselves of all law-
ful and constitutional means to obtain redress of the
many grievances which they suffer, and to secure to
the catholic, of Ireland, so long persecuted, perfect
equality with every other class of her Majesty's sub-
jects. He calls upon them to elect members of par-
liament able and willing to defend their rights; apply
to the legislature for the disendowment of the pro-
testant establishment, and for freedom of education ;
and so petition for a law to regulate the relations be-
tween landlord and tenant, so that the fruits of their
gipital and labour may be secured to the agricultural
classes. The use of lawful and moral means, helped
by heaven, will, he says, in the end produce good re-
sults; but violence and bloodshed, and other deeds of
darkness promoted by secret societies, condemned by
the Church of God, will bring certain ruin upon those
who have recourse to them.

THE ILLEGALITY OF LOTTERIES.

A ease of importance, as affecting persons engaged in
originating lotteries, was decided by the county magistrates
at Canterbury on Saturday. The following is an outline of
the case:—

The Rev. Henry Geary, incumbent of Christchurch,
Herne Bay, was summoned by direction of the chief of
Kent county constabulary, "for that he did, on the
6th of January last, at Herne Bay, in the parish of
Herne, publicly keep a certain place, there to exercise
and keep open, to be drawn by numbers, a certain
illegal lottery not authorised by parliament, to wit, a
lottery for divers prizes of gouda."

The evidence adduced by several witnesses on behalf
of the prosecution went to show that a bazaar for the
sale of fancy articles was recently held at Herne Bay,
in order to obtain funds to assist in the cost of en-
larging Christchurch. A number of articles remained
undisposed of, and these the rev, defendant announced
would be got rid of by means of a public lottery, which
tom: place in the school-room attached to the church.
The fee for a single chance in the drawing was 2s. 6d.,
and persons who paid that sum drew from a bag, held
by a lad in the building, a ticket entitling them to a
certain article. Sime articles were of greater value
than others, none being of less value than the amount
paid, and there were no blanks.

Mr. Geary did not dispute the facts of the case ; but
urged that the course adopted by him was in every
respect similar to proceedings carried on almost daily
throughout the country, and he had no idea that he
was infringing the law.
The bench, through their clerk, said this might be
so, but if proceedings at law were taken in such cases,
the parties concerned would be equally liab.e to con-
viction. The defendant was then convicted, and
directed to come up for judgment if called upon, and
mulct in costs, amounting to 1:1 4s. CA.
It transpired that the magistrates had no power to
levy a penalty under the terms of the statute, passed
in the reign of Geo. 111., the punishment for the of-
fence being three months' imprisonment, or the exac-
tion of a tine of MO, recoverable by the intervention
of the Attorney-General.

THE LATE EMPEROR MAXIMILIAN.

In order legally to prove the death f the late Em-
peror Maximilian, a comnrission a few days back re-
paired to the imperial vault, and there proceeded to
inspect the body of the deceased. The Official Gazette
of Vienna publishes the following protocol drawn up
on the occasion

The undersigned, having been called on to examine the
body of the late Emperor of Mexico, met in the refectory of
the Capucin Convent, and afterwards proceeded to the vault
wherein repose the members of the Imperial family. The
coffin, in grenadilla wood, brought from Mexico by Vice-
Admiral Tegethoff, and deposited on Saturday, January 11,
186 S, after the funeral ceremonies on that day, was opened
and found to contain a corpse embalmed and still well pre-
served, which the undersigned imaninionsly recognised as
that of the Emperor above-named. The identity of the body
having thus been ascertained. the coffin was re-closed. The
Grand Master of the Court then delivered up the key of it to
the Secretary, in order that it might be deposited in the
Crown Treasury. Whereupon the present protocol was
drawn up. (Here follow the signaturec)

A TRAGIC END!

The Paris correspondent of the Court Journal re-
lates the following romantic story in connection with
the Princess Bacciochi, whom the Empress Eugenie
went to see the other day—the Princess having met
with an accident, which, as the correspondent says,
"would be considered a bad one had it happened to a
woman of her years in a workhouse. It has been de-
scribed as a simple dislocation of the thigh-bone,
occasioned by too hurried a motion in mounting the
steps of her carriage, but it has been pronounced by
Nelaton as orjnating in the disease peculiar to old
age, when the b.ines become brittle and break upon
the slightest provocation."

The Princess has lived a somewhat stormy and eventful
career; but, priding herself on her stoical principle., has
been but little shaken by the events of her domestic lite,
which would have torn and rent the heart of any ordinary
woman into atoms. She is a hacchiochi by birth, not by
marriage, and being wedded to a man of somewhat inferior
station to her, Count iSamerata, a count of the Holy Roman
Empire, reasoned her molded name when her petit cousin
Louis came to the throne. The story of her young relative,
who, having lost all for love, regretted not the loss, bat com-
pleted the ruin ot his hopes by the most touching and rattan-
chay suicide over recorded in the ramie of youthful folly,
was the motive which induced the l'rincess to give up all
rule and iiitluence at the Tuilleries, the durninatinn, the
homage, and the pleasure of a Paris lie tor the portrait of
; agriculture and husbandry In the Landes of Brittany. The
tale IS one of the profoundest tragedy. The young man was
thoughtless anti extravagant, deeply enamoured of an act-
ress belonging to the Vaudeville. lie woe in want of funds
and committed an unworthy deed to obtain them. As wrong
had been done to none but his own relative, he had thonght
to have eacaped with impunity hut, alas! Justice had
already been inf. Tined of the breaking open of the strong
box. and the subtraction of the diamonds, before the real
author of the offence was even dreamt of The actress who
bad been commissioned by the young man to dispose of the
jewels hail but that morning conveyed them to the Monte de
plate, and her name and identity being established at once,
the rest became clear and easy to the police. The actress
was seated in her boudoir when the agents arrived at her
house; the young nen waa lying in Sybarite voluptuous.

An important War eircuibir has beim

to this method, and the immense amount of un-

simple and most satisfactory method :
Each corps is to have a Calalaitteo of

made, and commanding officers will be allowed
to distribute it at discretion. Camp equipments
may be paid for out of the capitation grant, sub-
ject to articles 110 and 111 of volunteer regula-
tions, which merely require that the sanction of
the Lord-Lieutenant should be obtained for the
formation of a camp.
l'lnise new regulationa will be hailed with

HORSEFLESH VERSUS BEEF.

- -
What to eat, drink, and avoid is it question
which, perhaps, will not be satisfactorily set-
tled until the end of time, when the necessity
for either shall no longer exist. Jost now ~,,it---
arc divided upon the merits of ox beef
and horse beef. Since the experimental ban-
quet at St. James's Hall, a few weeks since, the
subject has been discussed through the cob 1111 l
of the London paper with much freedom. A
writer in Thursday's Telegooph, after contend-

FENIAN ATTACK ON A MARTELL°

TOWER.

Another attack on a martello tower in the South of
Ireland is reported. A correspondent writes respect-
ing it

A rumour prevailed in Waterford on Monday morning
that a gun mounted at Duncannon fort, and commanding the
entrance to the harbour, had been spiked by one or more
Emilia., who hail contrived to enter the fort unperceived.
Much uneasiness was the result, more particularly as the
constabulary had just made an important arrest they be-
lieved of a head centre) in the town, anti were known to
be on the search for other suspected persons. The
authorities, by direction from Dublin, ordered patrols
to be established, the men carrying revolvers in ad-
dition to their loaded rifles, it was found also
that in one instance at least the telegraph wires
were not broken by the force of the gale, but hail been
cut through with a tile. Towards the evening of Monday
the impression that Boras Fenian enterprise was on the
point of being attempted became general, and much vigil-
ance was exercised, according to the speculation of the pub-
lic even then, the design of the Fenixns being to seize the
martello tower, and from it contmand Duncannon fort. The
Fenian attack on the tower took place about ten o'clock on
the same night, and it does not appear to be known how
many were engaged in it. That it was of a most daring anti
welt-organized character is inferred from the fact that the
insurgents sharply returned the tire of the military who
came from the fort to the assistance of the gunners in the
tower, on the alarm signals being tired, and from the circum-
stance that the Fenians got off, and carried with them any
Of their companion, who may have been injured.
Another co-reapondent writes The ',ennuis who at-
tacked the Martell° tower are supposed to have numbered
about twenty. The attacking party tired upon the tower
regardless of the signals. They stood until the military
party with fixed bayonets from Duncannon fort came within
seventy yards. On their being called to surrender a voice was
heard, Stand firm, my men.' The Fenians discharged a
volley, which was returned. They immediatdy dispersed
amid some brushwood. Two of them were seen to fall, -ant
they were quickly picked lip by their comrades and borne
away. The soldiers found no trace of the effects of their tire
beyond some spots of blood. One soldier was slightly injured.
The troops and police remained on guard all night. No
arrests have yet been made."

" COLONEL " BURKE on the CLERKEN-
WELL EXPLOSION.

It is said that the prisoner Burke having been in-
formed of what was said about him in connexion with
this explosion, writes to his solicitors on the matter as
follows :
I have been informed that one of the warders of the House
of Detention, in his evidence, stated that I stopped aml
moved out of the ring while lit exercise, and pretended to
take a stone out of my shoe. I have frequently steppwl out
of the ring during the three weeks I was confined there,
nearly every day—for I suffered from a corn between the
toes, and still suffer from it, though in a less degree, and
while at the House of Detention I burnt it with some lunar
caustic given me by the doctor for the purpose. This the
warders know as well as I ; but It Is only fact, and not
sensational enough perhaps to suit their purpose. What that
is, of course, anybody can Bee—to endeavour strongly to
establish some sort of an understanding between myself and
' the authors of the deplorable occurrences alluded to.

In general and emphatic terms he denies all prior
knowledge of the catastrophe. With reference to his
experience of the explosion itself he also says :
Forty seconds before it took place I was in a cell in that
end of the prison, being identified. I had barely left the
cell and had got back into my own one, which was on the
other end of the building, when the explosion took place. I
was at City Point when two vessels loaded with gunpowder
blew up: I was kik yards from them. That was truly
terrific, but after the hotly of the explosion was gone there
was virtually an end of it. Ilere it was different, for after
the explosion came the falling of timber and the shrieks of
the prisoners—all blent in one will painful coafunlon. I
was nearly suffocated in my cell by smoke and dust that
rushed up through the ventilator. When the confusion sub.

The CAREER of " GENERAL " CLUSERET.

The I riAhman of Saturday publishes a letter from
General" Cluseret, who, it will perhaps be recollected by
our readers, was sworn to by Massey as the intended chief
commander of all the Irish insurgents in the March rebel-
lion of 1867. Cluseret joined the army of Fra,ce with the
grade of sub-lieutenant from the Military School of St. Cyr
(according to the French correspondent of the seine journal),
and left it captain after seventeen years of service, during
which he received three wounds Alter the last expedition
to Kabylia he was nominated to the distinction of Officer of
the Legion of Honour. In the Italian service he gained the
rank of major, and was made lieutenant-colonel at the siege
of Caps. tu America, where he joined as colonel, he was
named geberal in 1562, alter the battle of Cross Keys, and
only one other foreigner, sigd, who covered the retreat from
the first Bull's Run, attained the same grade. General Cluseret
also, it appears, edited • Radical paper in America called the
Nen, Nation, remarkable for its able military criticisms. 'ln
introducing his letter to its readers as a copy from the
Courrier Francais, the conductors of the Melt man "donut
identify themselves with any opinions expressed by the
writer," but print the article "as chroniclers of public events
and opinions," believing they "would be wanting in their
duty to the public if they withheld it." Cluseret in the letter
thus printed says lie is not a Fenian, but has sympathies
with them, and knew Stephens, Burke, McCafferty, Kelly,
mid many others. "Some of these, like Burke, are he states; of
the true Roman mould.' He declares that whether Fenianism

;7es—originated by Stephens or continued by Burke or Kelly,
it has established itself in Ireland—" A country heretofore a
stranger to any sentiment except faith and clerical ride."
The programme of actual Fenianisin is, says the letter,
grounded on three principal points---" First, complete Oman.
.p4tion of Ireland from English power. Second, free Church
and free State denomination. Third, republican form of
government." "Even," he adds, "if the Fenian movement
hail accomplished nothing bat the lessening of the political
influence of the Catholic clergy, it would deserve credit from
liberal minds."

MR. TRAIN IN CORK.

Mr. Train commenced his lectures at Cork, on Mon-
day evening, and the walls everywhere announced his
"coming." He advertises himself thus :
'

"To all whom it may concern," begins the manifesto;
when, in the course of human events, an American citizen
visiting a foreign land on Important financial business Is in-
carcerated in a felon's cell, a decent respect for the opinion
of the authorities on his release (without any apology for
outrage' impels him to state why he remains a few days in
the suspect district.'" His reasons are He likes the people;
he introduced "the prepaid passenger and exchange busi-
ness into Ireland," to its advantage twelve millions steeling;
be is preparing documents in sustaiument of his claim
against the Government for "one hundred thousand
pounds." " Having had the concession for street railways
lid. Cork," bets anxious to see whether Ireland will accept
American capital: and he is d, strolls of "proving that the
only way he has interfered with the law was to wish well to
Ireland and Irishmen, Catholic and Protestant alike."

, -
The syllabus of his lecture hardly bears out the
large proneises made on his behalf by the Cork papers. '
Travel; the Royal Road to Knowledge; Temper-
ance and Father Alatthew ; How to Get Rich; the
Eye glass Style of Conversation, or the Governor of a
Gaol." Even with the last feature added, the pro-
gramme is not of an extremely exciting character.
But the lecturer, calling upon "everybody to turn
out to hear the great champion of the Irish race," has
a special treat for his lady guests which he means to
be particularly inviting. "Mr. Train is desirous that
the ladies of lurk i.hould be present, as he wished to
explain why 9,000 Irishmen voted for female suffrage
in Kansas !'"fhis dexterous touch of gallant flattery,
a local paper imagines, would not fail to make the
first lecture a success.

Mr. Train gave his first lecture at Cork on Monday
night. He had an enormous audience, who appeared
by their noisy manifestations to be vastly delighted.
1 The lecture was of a very rambling character, but
withal amusing. He remarked, in commencing, that

ous and inadequate to meet the requirements, it was
determined some time sineo to erect a new one, and an
opportimity presenting itself, a suitable piece of ground
was bought, whereon to erect the intended school as
fonds ran be raised. On Monday evening a tea meeting
held, the proceeds of which amounting to £l5, still be
given to liquidate the debt on the ground. About .10(1
sat down to an excellent tea, to which having done full
justice they adjourned into the adjoiniug chapel. Jeston
llomfray, Esq., occupied the chair. During the evening
the Revs. J. F. Andrews and T. Wright, Itifedi.rs. It. Boyer ,
J. Barb-int, and Dr. Malin delivered addresses on educa-
tion which were highly appreciated. The Chairman too
made one of his own characteristic speeches, wine!, told
admirably on the audience. Between each address the
choir introduced a piece of sacred music with their well
known ability. After a most pleasing and interesting
meeting, the audience were dismissed by the singing of
the Doxology.

THE NATIONAL DEBT.—Mr. William llowit,
the author of Cassell's History of England, writes on
the subject of the National Debt. Before the reign of
Charles 11., he writes, these kingdoms knew nothing
of a National Debt. At the accession of Anne, owing
to the military exploits of William HI. and Marl-
borough on the Continent, it had swelled t0£16,000,000.
At the accession of George I. it had grown to
£M,000,000; at the commencement of the American
war to nearly £12.9,000,000 ; at the commencement
the great French war to a little more than
£239,00O,000; and that stupendous effort to restore to
the French throne the effete Bourbons, with the
addition of the Irish debt, brought it, in 181 i, up to
something more than £848,000,000. Between that
time and 1833 the Government reduced the debt
£69,000,000, but since then it haa begun to roll up again,
