MYSTERIOUS DEATH OP A YOUNG ROMAN IN
THE THAMES.

An inquiry was held by Mr. Richards, deputy-
coroner, last night, at the Spotted Dog Tavern, High-
street, Poplar, respecting the death of a young woman
whose name was unknown.

Inspector Taylor, Thames Police, said that last Sunday
morning he discovered the dead body of the deceased
floating down the river off Poplar. She was about 21 years
of age, and the only article that she had on her was a pair
of side-spring boots. She had been about 40 hours in the water.
J. D. Mills, the coroner's officer, said that the deceased
was a very robust young woman, but he could not say how
she had come by her death.
The coroner said that he believed that the deceased had
been stripped and thrown into the river from some skip.
It would have been impossible for her to have walked in
that state unobserved through the streets, and if she had
stripped herself on the river bank her sloths§ would have
been found.

The police inspector said that from her appearance be
believed that she was a frequenter of itateliff.highway,
and that she was in the habit of going on board river craft.
Mills said that she was • person of prepossessing
apraranverdic:.
verdict "that the deceased woman was found dead
in the Thames, but how she same by her death there was
no evidence to show," was them e•oo,g.g.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.

(THIS DAY.)

TIM CHURCH RAT ABOLITION BILL.

Mr. Hardeaatle's bill for the pure and simple
►bolition of church rates was read a third time yesterday
in the House of Commons, and passed by a majority of 30
in a house of 228. If this decision should be sus-
tained, the Times would view the result with a
certain equanimity, but would, nevertheless, think
it an inexcusable blunder on both sides. It would
have been at once wise and conciliatory of Mr. Hard-
castle, our contemporary thinks, if he had himself
modified his bill so as to render it a measure for simply
abolishing compulsory payment. It would surely be a
matter for regret if, without the slightest necessity, the
whole machinery of collecting church rates should be at
once abolished throughout the country. The rate is still
collected in a majority of parishes, and it forms
the time-honoured method by which the chief
expenses of church services are defrayed. It is
everywhere voluntary, for it can only be imposed
by a majority, and when imposed can very rarely be
exacted against an obstinate resistance. In a word, it is
in practice at once harmless and useful. What constitutes
its obnoxious element is mere theory. The dissenters will
be contented if the theoretical power is given up, and the
rate might remain harmless and useful still. Churchmen
have practically to choose between this alternative and a
total subversion of the present system. Cannot the wis-
dom of the House of Lords interpose to procure the ac-
ceptance of the more moderate alternative! A very simple
alteration in Mr. Hardcastle's bill would effect this object,
and the proposal would, it is evident, be accepted by a
majority of the House of Commons.
The Herald thinks the present house had no business to
pronounce authoritatively on the church rate question.
The division of yesterday may be accounted as nothing.
It is the new parliament which must decide. Meanwhile
churchmen and oonstitutionalists must redeem the time.
Above all things, it behoves the clergy to prove by their
ministrations what is the real value not only of church
rates but of an Established Church.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, JULY 21.

King William intends visiting Switzerland for
the benefit of his health. After completing the
course of mineral waters, his Majesty is now
drinking at Ems. Four millions of the amount of
five millions to be issued in Treasury Bonds have
been taken nearly at par. Much business was
done in this paper to-day at 1001. Chamberlain
von Quaade, the Danish Ambassador at this court,
recently presented the reply of Denmark to the
last Prussian despatch, requiring guarantees for
the protection of German subjects in North Schles-
wig. The diplomatic representation of Prussia in
Mexico has been placed charge of the envoys of
friendly powers.
BERLIN, Jury 24, Erma°.

The Grand Duke Vladimir has arrived here on
his return from St. Petersburg. The Railway
Journal of this evening states that, in consequence
of invitations from England and France, the
North German Maritime States will send repre-
sentatives to a commission which is to meet in
Berlin in the beginning of August to deliberate
on a maritime code of signals.

BERLIN, JOLT 24, EVIDIENG.
It is stated that the Danish reply to the Prussian
despatch on the subject of guarantees for the pro-
tection of the Germans in the North Schleswig dis-
tricts to be ceded to Denmark, leaves open a way
for a mutual direct understanding between the
cabinets of Berlin and Copenhagen. The attitude
taken up by the Danish government in this matter
is by no means unfriendly.

THE RELTA/101 TOUR.

The Daily News observes that the Sultan has chosen a
suitable moment fur acquainting himself with the restless,
moving life of the western world. Since the Treaty of Paris
the Sultan has been one of the great European powers ; it
was well that he should himself acknowledge and ratify the
political significance of that instrument, by abandoning an
isolation which made friends indifferent and enemies un-
scrupulous, and by entering as an honoured guest the capi.
tale and the palaces of his Christian allies. To Filed
Pacha's sagacious counsel the visit may, no doubt, be
ascribed. It would be rash to anticipate from it any
sudden or sweeping ameliorations in the administration of
the Turkish empire or in the condition of the Christian
populations. But decay can be arrested and alleviated,
and growth moderated and assisted, by timely tonics.
Fuad Pach• showed • keen and intimate appreciation of
his English sympathisers when be not only declared that
Eastern hospitality had been surpassed in the West, but
that the Turk looked on his mission in the world as that
of a furnisher of raw material for English factories and a
consumer of English products. England has an obvious
interest in preserving so useful and self-denying *creature.
Nor was this distinguished statesman less felicitous in
remarking that the Eastern Question was more economical
than political, or in other words more a material than •
moral one, and to be solved by commerce and industry
and railways rather than by diplomatic or military inter
vitiations. A minister who talks in this wise understands
at least the jargon of his epoch.

Accordingtothe Slandard the Sultan returns to Turkey
resolved to pursue energetically the work of reform.

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS IN THE REFORM RILL.

If the Time. is not misinformed the House of Lords will
be asked before going into committee to affirm the neces-
sity of extending the redistribution scheme as a condition
to a permanent settlement of the question, and it is cer-
tain that other propositions for the amendment of the bill
will be brought forward in the committee itself. But it is
above all things necessary that the proposers of the amend-
ments should be prepared by Monday to submit a
complete account of the plans to the tipper House.
To secure a permanent settlement the process or disfran-
chisement must be zarried farther than is provided in this
bill. If boroughs having a population below 'l,OOO be dis-
franchised, the seats thus obtained should be conferred on
the large constituencies by accumulation of representatives
and not by subdivision of the constituencies. Three-cor-
nered constituencies afford the only means of reconciling
that principle of equality which underlies every proposal
of enfranchisement or redistribution contained in the
Reform Bill with the maintenance of the representative
principle. If we subdivide populous constituencies, we
create an assembly in which the proportions of the majority
in the country are enormously exaggerated. Whether the
method of voting in constituencies receiving third members
should remain unchanged, or whether the plan originated
by Lord Russell in 1854, and supported by Lord Cairns on
Tuesday, or the simple cumulative vote should he adopted
is, the rinses conceives, at present of inferior importance.
The Telegraph states that a meeting of liberal peers was
held at Lord Russell's residence, yesterday afternoon, to
consider the course to be pursued in committee on the
Reform Bill. In the meanwhile, the redistribution part
of the measure has necessarily engaged close attention,
and it is probable that the discussions on the subject will
have practical fruit, at least in an amendment proposing to
disfranchise some of the smaller boroughs.

Pftorassou BEZSLY.—We understand that the
Council of University College, London, have determined
by a considerable majority not to take any step in conse-
quence of Professor Beesly's recent speech. As that speech
has been deliberately considered by the council, we cannot
be mistaken in inferring th►t the authorities of the college
have understood it in a sense widely different from that
which an influential portion of the press has persistently
attempted to foros upon IL The least that the decision
thus announced shows is that the council do not for a
moment believe that Mr. Beady has desired or attempted
to palliate or extenuate crime, and we believe that impartial
inquiry could lead to no other result.—Dais Were,

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.-JIILY24.
(Before Mr. Registrar Mishit)
IN RR errO, DITTO, AND CRAMPTON.
In answer to the Registrar yesterday,
Mr. Reed said the object of the examination was to
ascertain whether certain of the claims which had been
made against the firm of Pete, Betts, and Crampton, whose
estate alone was being administered in the court, ought to
be admitted.
The Registrar said it would be more convenient for all
the disputed claims to stand over for dissuasion before the
commissioner, and that course was assented to.
In answer to further questions Sir Morton Peto stated
that Mr. Christian, the cashier of the firm, had the manage-
ment of the financial departments.
Messrs. Baring Brothers, who tendered a proof for
10,0001., held securities in the shape of bills of exchange.
A number of proofs by banking and other firms to the
aggregate amount of about 300,000/. were afterwards
admitted, and the thra e inspectors, with whom was asso-
ciated Mr. J. C. P. emilifie, of 15, Leadenhallkstreet,
banker, were chosen creditors' assignees ; Mr. Henry
Bishop (Coleman, Turqusnd, and Co.) being appointed
manager.
Messrs. Maynard and Co. are the solicitors to the estate.
The 9th of October, at twelve o'clock, was named pro

THE CRETAN INSURRECTION.
CONSTANTINOPLE, JLLY 22 .

The following official despatch has been received
from Omer Pacha, dated Sphakia, July 18 :
" Our soldiers. after two fight*, have routed the
insurgents, and occupied the heights of Calikratie
and Sfendo ; and after securing possession of those
mountains and the villages of tho same name, they
proceeded across the plain of Askifo, where they
effected their junction with the corps which came
from Apocoron, crossing the defile of Grappi. The
villages of Comitandes and Nipero, the defile
situated between those two villages, the defile and
the villages of Askifo, Primmer*, Alicombos,
all the villages of the eastern part of Sphakia,
and, lastly, the whole district of Sphakia, ex-
cepting eight villages, which will easily be re-
duced, are now in the hands of the imperial
itroops. The only resource left to the insurgents
is to take refuge in the rocky and narrow valleys
of the village of Samaria, where they can only
remain a few days, after which there will be no-
thing left to them but submission. The insurgents
who had taken refuge in two caverns at Pachtanos
and Capsodusso submitted to-day to the number of
250 men and women, amongst whom were Captain
Amagousti Papadaki, a member of the so-called
provisional government, Captain Manoedi, and
several other chiefs. Their lives, and the property
which they had placed in the caverns have been,
and will be, religiously respected. Up to the pre-
sent 47 barrels of gunpowder and 25 cases
of other ammunition have been discovered
there. The third division have also effected
their junction with the principal corps
at Calikratie. The number of muskets sent to the
authorities amounts to 6,000. The Ferik Ali Beni
Pacha has subdued the district of Kluane,.
Colonel hlustapha Bey has just cut to pieces the
four hundred Hellenic volunteers lately disem-
barked in the island, together with their com-
mander, Captain Mietto, and two Greek officers.
He also captured 3,000 tins of biscuits, 400 over-
coats, and 1,200 rifles.

THE SULTAN.

Boyer, Major Lehndorf, and the Court Chamber-
lain Puckler, have arrived here from Aix-la-
Chapelle. The Sultan was received at the railway
station by the King of Prussia at the head of the
generals of his staff and the authorities. The
Sultan, who wore the order of the Black Eagle,
and Fuad Pacha, were in the first carriage, and in
the second carriage the Turkish princes. A review
of 7,000 men is now being held, after which a trip
on the Rhine will be undertaken. The town will
be brilliantly illuminated this evening, and the
streets are thronged. His Imperial Majesty and
his suite will leave to-morrow. The weather is

This, the return match to that played at Gravesend on
the 11th inst. and following days, was commenced at the
Oval this morning in splendid cricket weather, and in the
presence of • fair sprinkling of spectators. Surrey again
won the toss, the result of which was that Kent had to
" turn out," end Surrey entrusted the custody of
the wickets to those usually trusty guardians
Humphrey and Jupp, who however,on this occasion proved
unequal to the task, for off the second ball of Wrilaher's,
who started the bowling, Jupp was caught by Mr. W. S.
Norton at point, which elicited a cheer from the Kentish
partisans. Stephenson came in, Bennett began bowling
from the Pavihon, and his very first ball Humphrey put
safely into the hands of Willsher at slid thus this
crack pair of Surrey batsmen, " • brace,"
between them, and the telegraph denoted the unusual
trading of 0,2, O. Griffith joined Stephenson, and the
former began by driving Bennett to long-off which was
" fielded" for a single. Runs now came apace, both bats-
men being in fine hitting form. Griffith in Bennett's
fifth over " cracked" Bennett away to square leg
for which 5 were run ; in his next over he
lifted another right into the Pavilion, which
of comae elicited • Surrey cheer, and brought 20
on to the indicator. When five more had been added to
the score, Mr. Lipscombe superseded Bennett, and off the
last ball of the first over Stephenson was caught off his
glove by Wilisher in the slip. Thus the third Surrey
wicket went with the score at 25. At 1 o'clock the score
stood as follows

bowling of (trendy, Wootton, and Tom Hearne notwithstanding.
Messrs. Saville and Warner's hitting was moat affective, and
gave the field what, under existing circumstances, must Lave
been most agreeable—viz., plenty of 'seethe. The former gen-
tleman promises to become one of the first bets in the University.
' and the latter has fully established his fame by the splendid
' inning, of 100 which he last week played against the All tneand

Henn. Weighill and Pelham being the assailants. The I fitter
settled Grundy without sliming. Four other of the Club's

Police-constable Haylor, 747 A, said that yesterday
evening he wagon duty near the Vietoria-gate, Hyde-park,
1,1111 he saw the boy breaking some boughs off a tree and
PLcing them over his father, who was sitting down, and
aPpeared to be drunk. He asked the boy what he was doing,
and be replied " Only having a game." He told the boy
must take him into custody, when the father so much
interfered with him, that he was obliged to get another
consh,ble M keep him off. After taking the boy to the
nation, and as he was leaving it the father followed him
tato oxford-street, and said, " Yon vagabond, you
have locked up my son." He told him to go away, and as
he would not, and got a large crowd round him, he was
compeller, to lock him up.
The father sail he had only left his work an hour and a
half• and therefore had not had time to get drunk.
Mr. Knox Paid he was of a different opinion.
inspector Harrison said the father was drunk. The boy
had I een locked up all night.
Mr. Knox—The boy has been locked up all night, and if
he has done wrong there is more than an excuse, having a
drunken father. The boy will be discharged. As for the
ether defendant he will have to pay 10s., or seven days,

PROFESSOR D'ARCY THOMPSON AND

COLONEL KNOX.

[The following appears in this morning's Daily News
SIR,-1 see from to-day's journals that Colonel
Knox is to inquire to-morrow evening of the Chief
Secretary for Ireland whether I ant to be dismissed
from a professorial chair for expressing—with •
little warmth, due to local and temporal circum-
stances—opinions on topics political that have
been put forward during the last few weeks with
greater force and eloquence by statesmen and
writers of the first rank in the empire. Is a pro-
fessional man to be treated like a refractory tenant
at will for entertaining the views put forward by
such men as Mr. Gladstone, W. Bright, Mr.
Goldwin Smith, Professor Fawcett, Mr. Beesley,
and a score of others equal or nearly equal
in repute 1 I maintain that Colonel Knox's
very question goes to prove my remarks as to the
absolutist character of landlords in this unhappy
country. " Eviction" is the panacea for all ills ;
and if Colonel Knox could have his own foolish
and tyrannical way, the cure would be extended to
the treatment of men of independent opinions in
the walks of science and of literature. The
colonel must dream that he is in Russia.

My extra-a.ademical teaching, in public lecture-
room or in public print, has been and will be ad-
.garse to political and ecclesiastical onesidedness;
but I am as hostile to vulgar, stupid, though well-
intentioned violence as I am to respectable, stupid,
and equally unconstitutional, coercion. Mean-
while, sir, as heretofore, I purpose in my class-
room to stick closely to my last ; but out of my
class-room, so long as I fear God, honour the
Queen, and love my neighbour, I shall be careless as
to what may be thought of me by Colonel Knox.

express himself with ease in French, &c., sod since that
